WEBVTT 1 00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:08.839 Five o five. 2 00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:30.280 At the July krc DE talk station every Monday. I'm 3 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:33.119 the dude man and I'm Brian Thomas, not the dude 4 00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:36.840 Judge Juckers in there. Fun lines are open five one three, 5 00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.759 seven four excuse me, fifty five d eight two three 6 00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:41.960 talk with Pound five fifty on AT and T funds. 7 00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:44.640 Coming up on the fifty five k SEE Morning Show. 8 00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:47.920 It's Monday, Christopher Smithman at seven twenty, first of the guests, 9 00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:50.920 and then yes, it's Monday, Monday, Monday with Brian James 10 00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:53.000 every Monday at eight oh five. Today we talk about 11 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:58.079 the Dow futures dropping, on the tariff issues. Trump has 12 00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.359 double down on the steel tariffs. That's another time we'll 13 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.039 talk about him. Well, price is apparently up a little bit, 14 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.200 although the price of the pump's been great and as 15 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.040 we are are we just learning to live with higher prices, inflation, 16 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.359 et cetera. Job as claims up, GDP contracted. Although I've 17 00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.280 seen information the inflation is actually steadied, it's actually lower. 18 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:21.920 So I guess depends on where you get your news. 19 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.640 And should any of this impact how we invest? Ultimately 20 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:29.480 the point of Brian James, how can you turn whatever 21 00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.280 news is in the news into good news for your 22 00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:37.280 investment portfolio, and hopefully you've got one heat to be 23 00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:39.000 in a position where I'm going to rely only on 24 00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:42.799 Social Security in my retirement, because that's on its own. 25 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.000 I won't say death spiral, but I guess I could 26 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.680 say that anyway. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. 27 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.920 A happy birthday to my wife. She had her birthday 28 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:54.879 on Saturday. Now I gonna say how old she is. 29 00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.280 She get mad at me, but had a nice time. 30 00:01:57.319 --> 00:01:59.359 Went to Summer Fair. That was a good day, and 31 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:02.959 also to dinner and hello to my friends at the 32 00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:06.439 turf Club. I was gonna take her out to his 33 00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:08.639 steak dinner at a real nice place, had a reservation 34 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:10.360 and everything. She goes Brian, you know what, I'd rather 35 00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:12.479 just go to turf club. So that's what we did, 36 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.719 straight from Summer Fair to the turf Club. Really enjoyable 37 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:17.639 day though, and got to spend the day at my 38 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:21.319 daughter's farm. Yesterday all eleven chickens out running around the yard. 39 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.039 Got a dozen fresh farm eggs we took home with us. 40 00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.439 That is the coolest thing. Those are really good eggs. 41 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.520 They are really doing a great job those two. It's 42 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:36.680 so impressive. It's nice to see your children achieve great things. 43 00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.599 And I think that's exactly what's going on with her 44 00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.560 and her fiance. So anyway, just getting that personal information 45 00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.960 out there because I'm just really proud of what they're doing. Ah, 46 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.840 whatever is going on, I'm not quite sure where to start. 47 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:51.960 I thought it was interesting the Russian bombers that were 48 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:56.159 blown up by a Ukraine drone attack. Sure, this is 49 00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.560 something we'll talk about with Daniel Davis deep dive tomorrow. 50 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.439 We talked to Daniel every Tuesday at eight thirty retired 51 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:06.319 Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis on strategy, military strategy. But apparently 52 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.879 what they did they snuck the drones in, had them 53 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.360 placed rather close to the targets that they blew up. 54 00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:18.000 So they transport of these drones to Russia later on 55 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.439 on the territory of the Russian Federation. The drones were 56 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:24.759 hidden under the roofs of mobile wooden cabinets already placed 57 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:26.919 on trucks, and at the right moment, the roofs of 58 00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.960 the cabints where cabins were opened remotely and the drones 59 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:33.879 flew to hit the Russian bombers and apparently forty or 60 00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:37.159 forty one of the bombers were either destroyed or or 61 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:41.000 blown up, at least in part. I'm not quite sure 62 00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:45.840 of the status of any given bomber. These may not numbers, 63 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:47.560 may not mean anything to you, but in terms of 64 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:51.680 the overall cost, it was extraordinarily expensive to the Russians 65 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.879 relative to the price of the drones they hit. The 66 00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:58.400 A fifty, the Tu ninety five, the Tu twenty two, 67 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.639 M three, those are the aircraft that among the ones 68 00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:09.520 that were hit. So the drone operation caused approximately seven 69 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:16.439 billion dollars in damage to the Russian air fleet, disabling 70 00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.079 thirty four percent of the cruise missile carriers in key 71 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:22.480 Russian air bases. That's a sizable chunk for one drug strike. 72 00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:30.800 Ukraine uses long has the real problem hitting interior targets 73 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:32.720 in Russia, and that's is something Daniel Davis and I 74 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.199 talk about all the time. You know, how much good 75 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.720 is it to hit some random target within Russia. Russia 76 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:42.160 had kept most of the hardware it was using in 77 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:47.040 Ukraine against the Ukrainians beyond the reach of the drones 78 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.920 that they had well have, but also beyond the reach 79 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.639 of the military missile apparatus that we in other countries 80 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:59.120 had provided to Ukraine's so far, so they were struggling 81 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.800 to actually hit Mili targets in the interior of Russia. 82 00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.439 So since Moscow kept them out of the range of 83 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:10.639 the weapons KIV had been developing, they snuck them in 84 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.959 and got them closer to the targets, which, you know, 85 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.199 it's it's quite an accomplishment when you think about it. 86 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:25.399 Attack likely highly cost effective. It's written these FPV drones 87 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.319 that the Ukraine's use. They say it could be bought 88 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:33.040 for just a few hundred dollars each, but going back 89 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.680 to the cost of the damage seven billion dollars. The 90 00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.399 forty one heavy bombers run into the billions of dollars, 91 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:43.399 so the return on investment was pretty substantial. The A 92 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:47.120 fifty aircraft, they say, provide several critical functions for the 93 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.160 ongoing war in Ukraine, detecting air defense systems, guide missiles, 94 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.959 and coordinated targets for Russian fighter jets. They possessed fewer 95 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.839 than ten of those. The Russians do. A fifty aircraft 96 00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.800 have an estimated price of three hundred and fifty million 97 00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.000 dollar each, so not sure how many were blown up. 98 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.399 In the drone attack. But you hit a few of them, 99 00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:08.959 that's a sizable chunk if they only own ten of them. 100 00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:11.519 Going back to the other aircraft, the U two plev, 101 00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.759 TU ninety five and TU twenty two, and the TU 102 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.279 one sixty, they're described as heavy bombers regularly used to 103 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.879 launch missiles at Ukrainian cities. The t U ninety five 104 00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:25.759 the oldest at the Soviet aeroplane they started flying in 105 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.839 nineteen fifty two, usually used to carry nuclear weapons, but 106 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.639 they've now turned it into something to launch his cruise missiles. 107 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:34.920 Each of those can carry sixteen of the cruise missiles. 108 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:40.560 TU twenty two also carries missiles which pose a particular 109 00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:42.720 problem for Ukraine. The type of missile it carries it's 110 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:44.560 called in KGE twenty two, and I know there's a 111 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.800 lot of numbers and figures, but it's a supersonic missile 112 00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:51.680 that travels around four thousand kilometers an hour. So getting 113 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.519 rid of the aircraft that deploys that particular missile, I 114 00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.120 suppose it's a pretty good thing. The only things that 115 00:06:58.120 --> 00:06:59.920 can shoot those down to the US made Patriot air 116 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.920 defense systems and potentially this Italian French system called sam 117 00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:07.480 T and the most modern strategic bomber that was hit 118 00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:09.959 at TU one sixty started in nineteen eighty seven. It 119 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.199 remains the largest operational bomber in the world. Can carry 120 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:17.560 a total of twelve of those supersonic missiles, so that 121 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.399 again quite an operation. And then there are also three 122 00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:24.879 train crashes. Apparently they blew up some bridges just yesterday 123 00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:27.839 as well. Seven people dead. A lot of damage though 124 00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:34.720 to the railroad infrastructure in Russia. So they're still fighting. 125 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:39.600 I guess, you know, probably a well. I think the 126 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:44.959 bomber is obviously actually a pretty strategic military accomplishment, but 127 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.160 it certainly must have It has to give some you 128 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:49.279 know plus to the morale side of the Ukraine since 129 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.560 they get in their butt kicks and more and more 130 00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:56.079 Russians are advancing into the Ukraine's territory, so they keep 131 00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:58.639 losing territory day by day. I also saw that the 132 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.680 Russians had a mass like fifty thousand additional troops along 133 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:04.000 the border there, so that does not spell good news 134 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.680 for Ukraine. And you know, the Russians are going to 135 00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.040 retaliate against this. One just becomes a question of when 136 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:12.360 and to what degree. So I look very much. Looking 137 00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:16.120 forward to hearing from Daniel Davis on this tomorrow, get 138 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:21.879 his thoughts and comments. What else I want to get 139 00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:28.399 to the city of Cincinnati's issues speaking of damaged infrastructure, 140 00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:30.800 But why not just go down this road to the 141 00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.799 remaining minute we've got in this segment. Now it is 142 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.840 Corey Booker and Nazi. Joe is Corey Booker and Nazi. Now, yes, 143 00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:40.480 that didn't take long. You didn't have to hesitate on 144 00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:47.759 that one. He didn't have to do the Nazi salute 145 00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:53.960 to tell you that Democrat Senator Corey Booker being mocked 146 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:57.039 by a lot of folks, mostly conservatives, weren't waiting for 147 00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:01.240 the mainstream media to start calling Corey Booker a Nazi 148 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:04.440 because he too delivered an alleged Nazi salute to the 149 00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:08.879 California Democrats while equipping that the New Jersey Democrat won't 150 00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:11.840 get the same scrutiny as Elon Musk when he raised 151 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:14.720 his arm to Maggot supporters back in January. I'm sure 152 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:16.559 you've all seen that when you saw the reports, and 153 00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.320 then it became Elon Musk Nazi, Elon must Nazi, Elon 154 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:23.320 must Nazi, Nazi, Elon Musk cutting this cutting that it's 155 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:26.720 all bad he's a Nazi, And I never did say 156 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:28.600 it was a Nazi salute. Didn't appear to be to me. 157 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:30.240 It was just like you know, when you're in front 158 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.879 of a crowd and you're talking and you're animated. If 159 00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:36.279 you capture a photograph of someone at any given time, 160 00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:38.360 you can probably turn it into a Nazi salut, if 161 00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:40.279 that's what you want to characterize it as. It's just 162 00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:43.320 it's a bunch of nonsense. Well, Corey Booker did the 163 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:48.759 same thing. So everybody's out on social media stand waiting 164 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:54.240 for the waiting for the Elon Musk treatment. One commentator 165 00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:57.840 government scientist Matt von Swell on X here's the list 166 00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.919 of all the news networks who have not covered Corey Booker, 167 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:04.279 New York Times, CNN, Washington Posts, MSNBC and PR, USA Today, 168 00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:08.240 Reuter's Axios, ABC News. Every single one of them wrote 169 00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:15.960 stories on Elon Musk's Nazi salute? Do you get it yet? Musk, 170 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.000 for his part, I think he summed it up quite nicely. 171 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:27.399 Legacy media is one big psyop amen to that anyway, 172 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.240 Concerns arising over house Cincinnati is using money from the 173 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.639 railroad line site. That's one we got to get to. 174 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.279 And the new Western Hills Viaduct. Much like the roads 175 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:39.080 that are in a dire state of in need of 176 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:42.559 repair in the city of Cincinnati, the new viaduct's got 177 00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:45.440 a lot more expensive over time. H Gee, I wonder 178 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:49.159 why that might be stick around. We've got lot's talk 179 00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:50.759 about you. Feel free to chime in. I'd love to 180 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:52.159 hear from you. If you've got a comment, I'll be 181 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:58.360 right back. Fifty the talk station bitchbobcarresee dot com. You 182 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.799 Tryhart Media stream the audio you happen to be it, 183 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:07.320 got the information on the blog page, and of course 184 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:09.519 get the podcast if you hadn't didn't get a chance 185 00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:12.159 to listen to line podcast like today with Christomer Smith, 186 00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:16.000 Smith and Smith Event. Okay, what should these cities since 187 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.320 said to be spending money on? We got allegedly fifty 188 00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.600 six million dollars in interest from the one point six 189 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:25.159 billion dollars invested railroad money that has to go to 190 00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:30.679 infrastructure existing infrastructure. Local twelve reporting that there are critics 191 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:34.639 questioning why more money isn't going toward repairing the Cincinnatis 192 00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:39.080 damaged streets, which looked like they were in a war zone. 193 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:42.279 So what is the current Cincinni budget, which has to 194 00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:43.679 be done by the end of the month. The budget 195 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:47.639 proposes nearly thirty five million for road paving and repair 196 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:50.440 out of the fifty six million dollars of cities getting 197 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:57.679 from the railroad investment, and as is reported, it's only 198 00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:01.159 going to cover fifty under fifty miles. Thirty five million 199 00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:05.600 dollars gets you less than fifty miles of repaving for 200 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:08.879 the whole year. That's all they're planning on doing now, 201 00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:11.639 after years of leaving the roads in a state of neglect. 202 00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:13.840 Who's been running the city now for the last four decades, 203 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:21.080 Oh that's right, Democrats. This is a failure of priority. 204 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:26.000 Aft have Purval Mayor pointed out the obvious higher costs 205 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:29.519 mean fewer roads can be paved. Okay, that's because you 206 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:33.399 keep kicking the can down the road. Inflation happens every year, 207 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:37.000 so every year you neglect it, the more expensive it's 208 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:40.120 going to be to pave a road mile dah. He 209 00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:42.799 said the following, You know, the component costs for paving 210 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:47.000 roads have gone up, the supply chain issues that we're seeing. 211 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:53.879 Are you ready because of the tariffs and the are 212 00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:57.960 you ready uncertainty from the federal government to create more 213 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:06.200 expense for us. Really, huh, Tariff said that much of 214 00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:14.200 an impact. Huh do we import asphalt from China or something? 215 00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:19.279 I thought that was kind of a domestically produced item. Anyway, 216 00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:21.039 he's probably gonna try to point the finger at the 217 00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:23.840 Trump administration for literally everything, even if it doesn't make 218 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:27.000 any sense. Said. Road repairs account for sixty two percent 219 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:28.919 of the total fifty six million dollars from the railroad 220 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:32.879 payment this year. Tom Brakman, remember Ham citizens opposed to 221 00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:35.679 additional spending and taxes. Talking with Channel twelve about this, 222 00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:40.759 former state lawmaker advocated more of the funds to be 223 00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:43.480 allocated to road repair given the poor condition of many 224 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:48.279 city streets. Quote to me, that to me is infrastructure. 225 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:50.679 That's what they should be spending their time on, and 226 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.480 not on what I would call frills. That if they're needed, 227 00:13:54.519 --> 00:14:01.600 they're needed because irresponsible maintenance pur of all, for his part, 228 00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:04.559 emphasized the city is adhering to the state's legal definition 229 00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:11.240 of infrastructure, which is rec centers, police stations, and other 230 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:15.200 non road items. So yeah, it can have a whole 231 00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:17.600 bunch of different things that might constitute under the legal 232 00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:21.039 definition of infrastructure. But when our roads are falling apart, 233 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:23.200 don't you think you should prioritize the roads? And I 234 00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:27.759 think that's Brickman's point. Purvall said, this idea that we 235 00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:30.519 can just focus on one problem with resources. We have 236 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:34.039 road miles to the detriment of the status of our 237 00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:36.919 rec centers, our parks, and our health centers. That's the 238 00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:39.360 reason why this whack a mole approach. We're in this 239 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.240 problem in the first place. What about the street car? 240 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:45.759 What about all the environmental green projects you're spending city 241 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.759 dollars on. And speaking of police stations, Joe, didn't we 242 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.080 have some police stations that were literally dilabidated, falling apart. 243 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:55.840 Police been screaming and yelling about these terrible police stations 244 00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:57.720 placed in the wrong. Ah, we could go on for 245 00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:01.480 you go back years on that one. They didn't do 246 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:08.320 anything about it in prior years. Retort from Brickman. Infrastructure 247 00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:10.399 to me is roads and bridges. Roads and bridges, not 248 00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:13.879 fancy bike trails, not signs that say welcome to sird Aamsville. 249 00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:16.759 Those to me are frills and compared to the needs 250 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:18.120 of the roads, I would have to agree with mister 251 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:27.759 Brickman on that one. Also, the Western Hills Viaduct has 252 00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:32.720 got a lot more expensive. Three years ago they said 253 00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:36.679 it was three hundred ninety eight million dollars to raise 254 00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:38.559 the existing ninety three year old viatoc and build a 255 00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:40.960 new one. Last year, when they had their hand out 256 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:42.960 to the federal government, they said the price would be 257 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:47.879 nine hundred million dollars. Now they're saying, well, since the 258 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.799 federal money was turned down, the final price isn't going 259 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:53.600 to be that high, but they won't know the new 260 00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:57.679 total until they complete their next cost analysis, expected by 261 00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:07.600 the end of the summer. We need another cost analysis. 262 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:10.159 We've been talking about replacing the Westerns Violin of Harris 263 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:13.559 since two thousand and seven, and that's when the structure 264 00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:18.960 was declared functionally obsolete. In twenty seventeen. Ten years later, 265 00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:23.279 they hired a San Francisco firm to design the replacement 266 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:27.639 for the viaduct, which was unveiled in twenty twenty. Three 267 00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:32.240 years later. Fast forward to twenty twenty one, city said 268 00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:35.919 taking down the existing viaduct and erecting the new one 269 00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:38.399 would cost three hundred and thirty five million. By twenty 270 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:40.840 twenty two, the price jumped to three hundred and ninety 271 00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:48.200 eight million, aiming to build the new span of the 272 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:50.679 Queen's Gate rail next year and take down the old 273 00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:55.919 one by twenty thirty two. Anybody have any any belief 274 00:16:55.960 --> 00:17:03.000 that those calendar years are going to hold, enquire reporting, 275 00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:04.799 the city applied for a five hundred and one million 276 00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:09.680 dollars is the Federal Multi Modal Project Discretionary. Last May. 277 00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:12.519 Application showed the dollars would come on top of more 278 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:15.839 than one hundred and fifty seven million promised from federal sources. 279 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.720 Put in the funding it again nine hundred million dollars. 280 00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:22.599 Total figure reflects six hundred and twenty million dollars to 281 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:25.240 build the new bridge ninety six point nine million to 282 00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:28.839 take down the old one. Last October, the city officials 283 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:33.640 learned that, well, you're not getting federal dollars now. They 284 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:36.319 don't believe the project will actually be nine hundred million dollars, 285 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:41.640 So why did they seek more? Ask the Enquirer, are 286 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.799 you ready to absorb anticipated inflation? The rising prices steel, 287 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:48.599 other building materials in labor are among the quote main 288 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:51.200 factors for the cost increases. That's the core of the 289 00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:55.079 city's application for federal bucks. Here you go to pay 290 00:17:55.119 --> 00:18:00.440 for quote potential future light rail or street cars. And 291 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:07.759 on the new bridge, well that's where your additional costs 292 00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:13.559 might show up. Right, They still are longing for additional streetcars. 293 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.279 DC's giving up on that. They went with buses this 294 00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:21.200 time around. They wanted to expand the streetcar lines. They 295 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:24.559 use buses or planning on using buses, which can be 296 00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:27.000 purchased at a fraction of the costs of the streetcars. 297 00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:30.119 Those street cars in DC were priced at eleven million 298 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:32.440 bucks a pop. I think it was West Side Jim 299 00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:34.440 who's on the phone, who's calling going to take after 300 00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:38.440 the break here said he learned and knows that the 301 00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:40.160 price of a bus is more like a quarter of 302 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:42.920 a million dollars, so you get much more bang for 303 00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:46.279 your buck, and it's flexible. Five twenty six fifty five 304 00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:48.440 kres to Detalk Station west Side Gym hang on, looking 305 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:50.359 forward to hearing from our talking with you. Got to 306 00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:50.960 take a break. 307 00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:54.960 This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio Station. 308 00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:58.240 Five twenty nine on a Monday, and a happy one 309 00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:00.400 to you. Five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty five 310 00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:02.559 eight eight two to three talk found if I fifty 311 00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:05.440 on at and t Bones Well, Sai Jim. Good to 312 00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:07.039 hear from you. Thanks for holding over the breake there, 313 00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:07.480 my friend. 314 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:11.079 Good morning, Brian Thomas. How are you this morning, sir? 315 00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:11.920 I'm awake. 316 00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:16.440 That's about the way I think about it too. You know, 317 00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:20.519 I won't even touch the viadoc because that's been a 318 00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:24.720 joke since actually two thousand and two when Chris Monzel 319 00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:29.119 started pushing for that. But on the streets, you know, 320 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:31.640 they should have subcontract this thing out a long time 321 00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:34.759 ago and we'd be driving on nice paying streets. There's 322 00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:38.000 that seating project up at up there on Go High Pike, 323 00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:43.319 and within the year they tore down five houses, cleared 324 00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:45.519 the land, and this thing is going to be an 325 00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:50.319 incredible sports complex for the seat and girls, and it's 326 00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:54.319 going to be open within a year. And it's seventeen 327 00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:57.640 million dollars and you should see that. The earth movers 328 00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:00.440 and everything else that goes along with this. The city 329 00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:04.440 went through Republican councils and Democrat councils and they, just 330 00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:07.559 like you said, push it down the road. And nobody 331 00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:09.400 wants to touch this because they don't know what the 332 00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:13.960 hell they're doing. And nobody can approve anything down there 333 00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:17.759 without seventeen different studies, and they're afraid to, you know, 334 00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:19.839 put the pen to the paper on this thing. 335 00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:22.680 Well, can they bound something off your head? Clearly the 336 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:24.720 work can be done if they put their hearts and 337 00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:26.640 minds to it, if they allocate the dollars and just 338 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.160 say start here and let's just get going on it. 339 00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:31.200 So like the seat and project, it can be done. 340 00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:35.200 Do you think given the what we know about aftab 341 00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:38.880 pervol and the left leaning Democrat councils all being all 342 00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:42.599 about green and fifteen minute cities, that they're just intentionally 343 00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:44.880 letting the growths go to crap because they don't want 344 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:49.279 people driving around in cars. I mean, just the theory. 345 00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:50.200 That might be part of it. 346 00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:53.559 I think that's kind of a stretch because of the 347 00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:56.319 complaints that they're getting. Plus, one of these days the 348 00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:58.920 voters will wake up and actually get people in there 349 00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:02.720 that might not be politicians or career politicians and actually 350 00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:04.440 get something done, you know. 351 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:05.839 Building type people. 352 00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:08.880 If somebody would run on that and get a slay together, 353 00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:11.519 I think that they could actually you know, put put 354 00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:15.960 together a nice conglomerate of people to get something done. 355 00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:20.160 Yeah. Maybe I only throw that out there because this, 356 00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:22.799 this is just getting out of hand. The neglect of 357 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:25.480 these roads has been going on for decades. I mean, 358 00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:28.359 this isn't just a new phenomenon brought about by Trump's 359 00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:31.880 tariffs and federal policies, as Burwall wants to suggest. 360 00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:33.079 That's an excuse. 361 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:36.559 But yeah, they got streets terrible things, the stupid street 362 00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:40.680 calling things that they put up within like six months everywhere. 363 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:43.039 And also it does is back up traffic. 364 00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:45.000 Yeah, it may. 365 00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:47.000 Calm a couple of cars down from flying up and 366 00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:50.559 down with no mufflers on it somewhere, but that's because 367 00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:53.359 the mufflers have been knocked off on the street calling things. 368 00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:56.400 But my god, I mean, if you drive on the 369 00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:58.240 western side of town, I don't know how it is 370 00:21:58.279 --> 00:22:02.680 on the east. But there are the stupid plastic things everywhere. 371 00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:05.680 And I don't know what the cost of one of 372 00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:09.119 those little pump things are, but they're not calming anything down. 373 00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:11.079 If you know how to hit those things right, you 374 00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:13.759 can just go right over it, you know whatever. Thirty 375 00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:14.799 five forty miles an. 376 00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:18.640 Hour, I know, those are popping up all over the place. 377 00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:21.240 And just because people drive like idiots. I mean, if 378 00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:24.559 people just paid attention to the speed limits. We wouldn't 379 00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:26.319 have to deal with those damn things. 380 00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:29.480 Hey, Brian, I know I'm running out of time here, 381 00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:35.640 but Sam Beltos from Prycell Chili passed away side. I 382 00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:38.240 thought of your father because he died of Alzheimer's. But 383 00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:41.839 you know, this man had this thing for like three years. Yeah, yeah, 384 00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:44.839 and he hasn't been around. But that's the first thing 385 00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:46.799 I thought of a long time ago, as was your 386 00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:47.720 dad on this stuff. 387 00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:49.599 But yeah, he did pass away, and. 388 00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:52.319 I just want to throw that out there and my 389 00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.759 condolences to the family. And it's a sad side, sad 390 00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:58.279 story for the West Side. 391 00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:01.839 He was eighty eight years old, yes, sir, So we've 392 00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:05.400 been there many times, only once or twice found a 393 00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:10.400 priceal Chili September nineteen sixty two. So his I guess 394 00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:12.680 his kids are running the ship and they can plan 395 00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:15.960 on continuing carrying the torch for the family run business. 396 00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:19.440 Yeah, the youngest son had died years ago from cancer 397 00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:21.920 and there's the oldest son running it. 398 00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:24.400 And it's going to continue. 399 00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:24.960 You know. 400 00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:27.200 The rumors that have moved to the East Side is 401 00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:27.920 not going to happen. 402 00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:32.240 But that's just a skit for the radio talking personalities, 403 00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:36.160 but it's going to run and you know, no funeral 404 00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:38.880 arrangements have been made yet, but it's going to be 405 00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:41.839 opened up until probably that day because you know, people 406 00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:46.200 over here they respect Sam and he did a great 407 00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:49.119 job of handling everybody in the dignitaries that I've been there. 408 00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:52.279 I knew that man for forty five years. 409 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:54.680 Yeah, I guess he spent a lot of time at 410 00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:57.240 the restaurant too, according to the reporting from Fox nineteen 411 00:23:57.240 --> 00:23:58.680 that I ready with the. 412 00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:00.880 Exception of the morning until whenever. 413 00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:04.559 Yep, that's a committed, dedicated man.

But eighty eight, that's 416 00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:12.000 a ripe old age. Quite a right. 417 00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:14.359 Thank you for letting me throw that out there. 418 00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:17.039 Happy to do it, man. It was in my local news. 419 00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:18.759 I probably would have gotten to it anyway, but you 420 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:20.759 brought it up and we got the information out there. 421 00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:24.720 So rest in p sim Beltzoz, founder of Price Ill Chili, 422 00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:28.400 died yesterday.

Mad Tree at Summit Park looks like a 430 00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:46.480 pretty facility. 431 00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:47.640 I think I can make this one. 432 00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:50.880 I don't have a thing on my calendar, so I 433 00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:52.880 think I can actually make this one good. 434 00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:55.039 Well. I hope to see and I won't hold it 435 00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:56.599 against you if you can't make it, but it'll be 436 00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:58.720 nice to see and also provide me with an opportunity 437 00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:02.319 to remind my listeners.

Joe, you had 462 00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:13.680 the story and the stack of stupid. I had mine 463 00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:16.640 the same story in a stack that I was going 464 00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:19.880 to get to during the main content. But it's perfect 465 00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:22.640 for the Stack of Stupid. And this is just a 466 00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:26.880 scary thing from my standpoint, And we are doing our 467 00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:31.000 children such a huge disservice in public schools. Most notably, 468 00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:34.640 we turned to San Francisco. I can't believe this is 469 00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:40.680 actually a thing. San Francisco's public school system rolling out 470 00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:47.200 a what they call Grading for Equity program, which will 471 00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:51.000 exclude homework or weekly tests from final grades. It allow 472 00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:55.680 students to pass with scores as low as twenty one 473 00:26:55.759 --> 00:27:02.240 out of one hundred. Last week, Superintendent Schools Maria Sue 474 00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:06.200 rolled out the program, taking effect this fall at fourteen 475 00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:09.240 public high schools, affecting more than ten thousand students. This 476 00:27:09.359 --> 00:27:12.279 was reported the Voice of San Francisco. Undergrading for Equity 477 00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:17.920 semester grades depend entirely on a single final exam that 478 00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:22.480 can be retaken multiple times, even if students skip assignments 479 00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:28.799 or failed to attend class. The superintendent didn't seek approval 480 00:27:28.799 --> 00:27:31.599 from the San Francisco Board of Education before announcing this overhaul. 481 00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:34.240 Court of the Voice or staff has told board members 482 00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:39.319 that they have no authority to reject the plan. She 483 00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:41.599 made the announcement the final week of spring semester. His 484 00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:43.960 parents were weighing whether to keep their children in San 485 00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:48.039 Francisco's public schools this fall and probably not. It's reported 486 00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:51.599 the district is facing over one hundred and ten million 487 00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:55.680 dollars in budget cuts amid declining student enrollment and mounting 488 00:27:55.759 --> 00:28:00.960 concerns about academic standards, Well they just got increased. District 489 00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:05.400 faced backlash last year after then Superintendent Matt Wayne paid 490 00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:09.880 a Stanford University professor thirty thousand dollars to create an 491 00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:14.839 equity centered formula for deciding which schools to shutter. Parents 492 00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:17.839 argue that the formula rewarded poor performing Black and Hispanic 493 00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:22.200 schools while targeting low income, high achieving Asian children. That 494 00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:25.839 from a report from the Washington Free Beacon that prompted 495 00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:30.119 him to resign in October last year. Superintendent sues grading 496 00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.079 for equity system will allow students to earn an A 497 00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:40.920 with a score of eighty, a C with a score 498 00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:44.480 of forty one, and you get a D if you 499 00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:48.480 get just twenty one out of one hundred. Under the 500 00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:51.000 current grading system, students need at least a ninety for 501 00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:53.160 an A and at least a sixty one for a D, 502 00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:55.640 which is more in line with the grading system that 503 00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:57.119 I had when I was younger. I think you needed 504 00:28:57.119 --> 00:29:00.000 a ninety three for an A when I was in school. Regardless, 505 00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:08.319 you get a D for twenty one out of one hundred, 506 00:29:09.599 --> 00:29:17.160 that's scary. That's sad too. The dumbing down of America. 507 00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:20.759 You create a bunch of useful idiots with no logical 508 00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:25.000 or critical thinking skills. Go to Maryland with the police 509 00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:27.440 chief is calling for greater accountability. In the case of 510 00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:31.000 a group of teens, ah teens did probably graduated with 511 00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:34.680 the twenty one They were accused of breaking into one 512 00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:40.720 hundred and twenty one cars one night what Laurel police 513 00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:43.319 arrested a sixteen year old boy in connection with the 514 00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:46.640 car break ins, which happened in the night of May fifth. 515 00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:48.839 He and two other teens smashed car windows to old 516 00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:51.839 items from fifty four cars and Laurel and sixty seven 517 00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:57.200 more in Prince George's and Arundel and Howard Counties. According 518 00:29:57.200 --> 00:29:59.960 to Laurel Police Chief Russ Hammill speaking with local news, 519 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.240 they were just simply going through neighborhoods and targeting for 520 00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:04.880 opportunity breaking into cars. If there was something in there, 521 00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:07.039 they'd steal. If there was nothing in there, they'd moved 522 00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:10.319 to another car. Video from the night shows two suspects 523 00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:13.119 walking car to car in a parking lot, using flashlights 524 00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:17.079 to look inside. Thirst suspect driving a car close by 525 00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:18.960 in case they needed to escape. A corner to the 526 00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:25.720 chief that car was a stolen car. Investigators found the 527 00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:27.799 keys of the stolen car in keys to twenty five 528 00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:30.119 other cars during a search warrant at the sixteen year 529 00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:33.920 old suspects home in Beltsville. They also found several stolen items. 530 00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:36.640 Five hour after resting the teen, police had to release him. 531 00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:41.279 Chief said, no, this isn't Hamilton County, but it was 532 00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:44.400 a good guest. You might lean that direction, Joe said 533 00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:46.799 during a news conference. He was released back into the community, 534 00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:48.880 back into the environment that allowed him to be out 535 00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:51.720 roaming streets in all of these counties late at night 536 00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:54.599 and in the early morning. Why are you doing that? 537 00:30:54.680 --> 00:31:00.160 No idea. Maryland Department of Juvenile Services did not i 538 00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.920 the the request the detectives in the State Attorney's office, 539 00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:07.000 saying the team didn't have a prior record and the 540 00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:13.000 crimes weren't violent. Whatever admonished by the police chief. We 541 00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:16.160 don't do this lightly. We don't ask for young people 542 00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:17.680 to be held on a whim.

He said that 591 00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:49.079 hue had entered the business posing as a Duault sales rep. 592 00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:53.559 They said Hughey was accused of taking bolt cutters from 593 00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:57.240 another aisle and breaking a lock on a gate containing 594 00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:01.200 the power tools, of course damaging the gate. He then 595 00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:04.720 loaded up an entire flatbed cart with twenty three pieces 596 00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:09.960 of merchandise including Dewault made batteries, grinders, blowers, saws, then 597 00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:12.760 try to walk out with that pain total value the 598 00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:18.239 gathered merchandise four and ten dollars and forty nine cents. 599 00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:22.880 Authorities impounded Huey's jeep, took several items into evidence, including 600 00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:24.880 the bold cutters, and he used a tool bag with 601 00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:27.960 parts and tools, clipboard with papers, book bag, knife receipts, 602 00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:30.800 a broken lock. He's been charged with theft, which is 603 00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:37.079 a felony, possession of criminal tools, and vandalism. The aristocratic 604 00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:41.239 pretty much go to Fort Myers, Florida, where the Cape 605 00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:43.800 Coral residents have been dealing with what they described as 606 00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:51.159 an unwelcome visitor, a muscovie duck. US fish and Wildlife 607 00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:53.840 Service to the Muscovy ducks are known for being aggressive 608 00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:56.920 and damaging property, as well as transmitting disease not native, 609 00:34:56.960 --> 00:34:59.480 though thousands can be found to hold across the entire 610 00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:05.199 state of Flow, Orlando, the largest population. A neighbor who 611 00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:10.639 moved there in ninety eight, James Seblvita, interviewed, showed the 612 00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:12.599 hand that the duck had been. He guess I set 613 00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:14.719 up my porch between seven and seven thirty this time 614 00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:16.519 of a year to catch the sunset, you know, some 615 00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:18.599 sun I had my eyes closed. All of a sudden, 616 00:35:18.599 --> 00:35:20.840 I felt a jab on my hand and it was bleeding. 617 00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:25.679 Wildlife Service issue to control order allowing the management of 618 00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:29.039 muscovy ducks their nests and eggs in areas outside of 619 00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:32.920 the natural range. Another neighbor also attacked by the duck. 620 00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:35.440 What the hell? 621 00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:37.760 So they stood up and made some noises, thinking it 622 00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:40.800 would go away, like go away, duck. You know, next 623 00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:42.519 thing you know, it's wings come out, like it's going 624 00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:46.119 to attack me. Commissions said the ducks can be humanely 625 00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:52.119 killed or donated for educational purposes. What's that supposed to mean? 626 00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:56.480 I think I show up at a school with a 627 00:35:56.519 --> 00:36:03.679 captured duck. Yeah, go to Hawaii. Badcrap and saying they 628 00:36:03.679 --> 00:36:07.840 are legislators in Hawaii implementing a hefty tax on tourism 629 00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:10.800 that they believe will help the state government take action 630 00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:15.519 against climate change, because we all know that little state 631 00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:19.880 of Hawaii has a profound impact on the climate, and 632 00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:22.559 if they reduce their emissions, they're going to save the 633 00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:26.039 entire world, notwithstanding China and all the other countries that 634 00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:30.079 don't pay. At witsworth of attention to this courted to 635 00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:33.719 widely released press announcements on multiple outlets. Hawaii Governor Josh 636 00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:36.559 Green signed the bill Tuesday, May twenty seventh, increasing the 637 00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:39.440 tax on hotel rooms, vacation rentals, and cruise ships to 638 00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:43.800 raise money to be used for issues such as eroding shorelines, wildfires, 639 00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:49.360 and more. It's called a Green Fee Act ninety six 640 00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:53.599 raise the state's current transient accommodation tax zero point seventy 641 00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:58.159 five percent, making the taxes on nightly lodging rates eleven percent. 642 00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:01.639 Travelers will have to pay a fee based on the 643 00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:04.400 nightly rate of their travel accommodations. For example, if you're 644 00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:06.320 staying at a hotel room that's three hundred bucks, you're 645 00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:07.639 gonna have to pay a two dollars and twenty five 646 00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:11.079 cent fee. Green said in a statement, once again, Hawaii 647 00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:14.039 is at the forefront of protecting our natural resources, recognizing 648 00:37:14.039 --> 00:37:17.440 their fundamental role in sustaining the ecological, cultural, and economic 649 00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:21.920 health of Hawaii as an island chain. Hawaii cannot wait 650 00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:24.119 for the next disaster to hit before taking action. We 651 00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:26.880 must build resiliency now, and the Green fee will provide 652 00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:30.559 the necessary financing to ensure resources are available for our 653 00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:35.199 future idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. You know 654 00:37:35.239 --> 00:37:38.159 what this is just using the so called a climate 655 00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:42.320 change agenda for them to exact more money out of well, 656 00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:44.960 in this particular case, tourists who visit there because they 657 00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:47.440 apparently don't have the finances in line and their state 658 00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:50.239 government budgets to deal with any other issues that they 659 00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:57.679 might encounter. It's convenient that way, isn't it. Five to 660 00:37:57.880 --> 00:37:59.760 five coming up in fifty six ify five K City 661 00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:01.480 Talk station, Feel free to call.

Former Vice 683 00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:54.039 mayor of the City of Cincinnati. We also do Money 684 00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:56.360 Monday with Brian James on Mondays at eight oh five, 685 00:38:56.920 --> 00:39:01.639 Dow futures dropping on more tariff issues, steel tariffs increases, 686 00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:06.559 oil prices apparently have gone up, higher prices, inflation, jobless 687 00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:11.440 claims are op GOP contracted. All this bad news. Should 688 00:39:11.440 --> 00:39:14.199 this affect how we invest? The ultimate point of Brian 689 00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:17.079 James trying to maximize the return on our investments, and 690 00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:20.119 I have forgot some. Let's see here since I mentioned 691 00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:24.400 the Hawaii implementing a climate change tax, as if Hawaii 692 00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:28.039 could have any impact on global climate change. Again just 693 00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:31.039 an excuse and a mechanism do exact more money out 694 00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:36.000 of people, but also leading us to a potentially night 695 00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:42.280 marriage situation because renewables aren't reliable, so all learned when 696 00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:45.559 can't handle it? And I found this off at Peace 697 00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:47.960 and I thought it quite remarkable. Puts a big, fat, 698 00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:52.599 giant exclamation point of the point I just made. Gary 699 00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:58.719 Abernethy is a commentator headline reliance on renewables makes widespread 700 00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:05.559 blackout nightmare more likely, and it is an interesting exclamation point. 701 00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:08.480 He puts on this using a real life illustration from 702 00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:11.679 Spain and Portugal back in late April. Imagine taking the 703 00:40:11.719 --> 00:40:13.599 subway to work, and then the train comes to a 704 00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:17.760 sudden halt halfway between scheduled stops. You pull out your 705 00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:20.360 smartphone to go online to see what the problem is, 706 00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:24.840 but you have no reception, no cell signal, no Internet. 707 00:40:26.239 --> 00:40:28.639 Hours later, rescue workers show up to extract you and 708 00:40:28.679 --> 00:40:31.039 your fellow passengers from the stalled train. You make your 709 00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:32.920 way to the street in hopes of taking a taxi 710 00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:36.119 or an uber. Without your phone apps and with credit 711 00:40:36.199 --> 00:40:39.599 card machines inoperable, you are forced to search for an ATM, 712 00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:44.039 only to discover that those aren't working either. You soon 713 00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:47.239 realize that everyone else is in the same predicament. Hospitals 714 00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:52.119 operating on emergency backup systems, people trapped inside elevators. God, 715 00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:55.559 that's a freaky reality, isn't it. Traffic snarl do to 716 00:40:55.800 --> 00:41:00.880 inoperable stop lights, gas station pumps not functioning, airport terminals closed, 717 00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:04.719 people in darkened homes desperately searching for candles and battery 718 00:41:04.719 --> 00:41:09.519 operated radios to learn what's happening. On April twenty eighth, 719 00:41:09.519 --> 00:41:12.159 the residents of Spain, Portugal and parts of France didn't 720 00:41:12.159 --> 00:41:14.519 have to try to imagine this nightmare scenario. They found 721 00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:18.559 themselves prisoners of it for hours when an unprecedented blackout 722 00:41:19.159 --> 00:41:23.760 impacted at least fifty five million people after the Iberian 723 00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:28.800 Peninsula electric goods system failed. The outage, described as one 724 00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:32.559 of the worst ever in Europe, disrupted businesses, hospitals, transit systems, 725 00:41:32.559 --> 00:41:36.280 Cello networks, another critical infrastructure, according to the well local 726 00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:38.880 news there specifically in this case, France twenty four News. 727 00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:43.960 Many news agencies, particularly in the United States, insisted for 728 00:41:44.079 --> 00:41:45.760 days that it was too early to say what had 729 00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:50.239 caused the massive blackout. Others, though acknowledged the obvious. The 730 00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:56.800 Reuters news agency reported early on Redia, which owns Red Electrica, 731 00:41:57.960 --> 00:42:01.360 had warned in February in its report that it faced 732 00:42:01.400 --> 00:42:05.320 a risk of disconnections due to the high penetration of 733 00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:10.840 renewables without the technical capacities necessary for an adequate response 734 00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:15.880 in the face of disturbances. While many observers did their 735 00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:18.880 best to point fingers at an alternative cause, others were 736 00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:23.880 more straightforward and identifying the culprit. Raoul Bajo Buenstado, a 737 00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:27.159 non resident energy scholar Rice University's Baker Institute for Public 738 00:42:27.159 --> 00:42:30.519 Policy in Houston, got a Fulbright Scholarship graduate student grant 739 00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:33.719 for young researchers from Spain's Ministry of Education PhD in 740 00:42:33.800 --> 00:42:38.760 economics from Rice, primarily working on generation, investment incentives and 741 00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:43.400 capacity markets in the electricity sector. Also conducts research on 742 00:42:43.480 --> 00:42:48.159 gasoline retail markets. That's according to his biography, anyway. After 743 00:42:48.199 --> 00:42:51.280 this guy studied the April twenty eighth blackout data, he 744 00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:55.719 authored a commentary, including that mere minutes prior to the 745 00:42:55.920 --> 00:43:01.199 grid collapse, renewable sources accounted for seventy eight percent of 746 00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:05.159 the ELECTRICICYD generation in the Iberian Peninsula grid system, with 747 00:43:05.320 --> 00:43:10.400 solar alone contributing to nearly sixty percent. By contrast, conventional 748 00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:14.440 technologies like gas fired and nuclear power plants comprised only 749 00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:19.840 fifteen percent of the total generation mix. This configuration is 750 00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:22.360 not unusual in Spain or Portugal, where high shares of 751 00:43:22.360 --> 00:43:26.800 renewable generation are common, particularly during the sunny and windy days. 752 00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:32.000 He added, What sets April twenty eighth apart, however, is that, 753 00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:36.079 according to Spain's National Electricity Grid Opera Radar red Electrica, 754 00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:42.039 two consecutive generation loss events occurred in southwestern Spain, likely 755 00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:46.239 involving large solar installations. He noted the risk of a 756 00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:50.119 large scale blackout in electricity systems with high shares of 757 00:43:50.159 --> 00:43:54.639 renewable energy is well established. However, the Iberian blackout of 758 00:43:54.679 --> 00:43:58.519 April twenty eighth brings these long recognized vulnerabilities into sharp 759 00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:04.079 focus that, unlike conventional power plants, solar and wind installations 760 00:44:04.119 --> 00:44:07.599 depend on a stable grid to function correctly and can't 761 00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:14.639 autonomously support grid stability during disturbances, which of course demonstrated 762 00:44:14.679 --> 00:44:20.440 by that blackout. Before Donald Trump reversed the previous administration's 763 00:44:20.440 --> 00:44:23.280 war on fossil fuels, Biden had committed the United States 764 00:44:23.320 --> 00:44:27.480 through reaching one hundred percent clean electricity by twenty thirty five, 765 00:44:28.519 --> 00:44:33.559 a goal that seriously imperiled our own infrastructure. Biden's corresponding 766 00:44:33.559 --> 00:44:37.039 attacks on affordable and reliable energy sources like natural gas, 767 00:44:37.079 --> 00:44:41.199 were unrealistic and unpopular with many consumers, who preferred gas 768 00:44:41.199 --> 00:44:44.239 appliances and heating sources over those that would be allowable 769 00:44:44.880 --> 00:44:50.239 under federal mandates. Likewise, Spain is currently aiming to phase 770 00:44:50.320 --> 00:44:53.840 out fossil fuel and nuclear generation in favor of renewables, 771 00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:56.719 with the goal of renewables comprising seventy four percent of 772 00:44:56.760 --> 00:45:01.599 the total output by twenty thirty Under their plan, the 773 00:45:01.679 --> 00:45:05.559 insistence of replacing affordable, dependable energy with more expensive and 774 00:45:05.639 --> 00:45:09.960 unreliable alternatives is both illogical and impractical. Natural gas remains 775 00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:14.599 the most cost effective, reliable, and increasingly clean fuel choice 776 00:45:14.599 --> 00:45:18.679 in the world. It's telling that, despite the Spanish government's 777 00:45:18.719 --> 00:45:23.039 anti fossil fuel rhetoric, the US recently became the main 778 00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:27.639 supplier of liquefied gas to Spain. Much of Europe, mimicking 779 00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:32.800 extremist climate change rhetoric publicly decry as America's continued production 780 00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:38.079 and use of the traditional energy while simultaneously gobbling it up. 781 00:45:41.840 --> 00:45:44.320 As long as it's the point I've made that before, 782 00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:46.440 as long as they're not the ones pulling it out 783 00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:49.719 of the ground, they'll go ahead and use it. It's 784 00:45:49.719 --> 00:45:52.000 like they think that somehow virtue signaling that they're not 785 00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:54.239 getting their own gas out of their own region and 786 00:45:54.360 --> 00:45:56.320 using it for their own purposes. Now, what is buy 787 00:45:56.400 --> 00:45:58.480 from the United States and claim that we have clean 788 00:45:58.559 --> 00:46:05.119 hands anyway? Author questions will the disaster of April twenty 789 00:46:05.159 --> 00:46:08.519 eighth make European leaders think twice about abandoning their most 790 00:46:08.599 --> 00:46:14.199 reliable energy sources. Hardly following the devastating blackout, Spanish Prime 791 00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:18.239 Minister Pedro Sanchez said his government would not quote deviate 792 00:46:18.360 --> 00:46:21.960 a single millimeter close quote from its plans of transition 793 00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:26.320 to so called renewables. That's unfortunate. In the meantime, it 794 00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:28.400 is worth noting that one of the primary sources of 795 00:46:28.519 --> 00:46:32.079 energy used to restore electricity to tens of millions in Spain, 796 00:46:32.199 --> 00:46:36.679 Portugal and parts of France who lost power was the 797 00:46:36.719 --> 00:46:42.880 one that officials claimed to abhor, natural gas. The point 798 00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:44.760 being how did they get their lights back on, how 799 00:46:44.760 --> 00:46:46.760 did the subways start running? How do people trapped in 800 00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:49.880 elevators ultimately get out of the elevators when the power 801 00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:52.320 came on. Is because they did have access to natural 802 00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:57.360 gas power plants, just not in sufficient quantities. This is, 803 00:46:57.920 --> 00:46:59.960 you know, and I don't have to go into the 804 00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:02.920 details of it, but I've always suspected, you know, because 805 00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:05.599 the Chinese don't give a damn about the environment, at 806 00:47:05.639 --> 00:47:08.039 least in terms of belching out you know, coal fired 807 00:47:08.079 --> 00:47:12.960 production of electricity. But they'll sell us all the green 808 00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:16.840 stuff that we can gobble up. Based upon edicts and 809 00:47:16.920 --> 00:47:19.320 mandates from the federal governmor refer you back to Joe 810 00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:22.039 Biden's you know, limiting the type of stove you can 811 00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:29.599 have in your house. Good ideas don't require force. But 812 00:47:29.679 --> 00:47:34.559 there's a nonprofit funded by Chinese government that was written up. 813 00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:37.559 Where did I find this? A Daily caller wrote it up. 814 00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:43.079 Chinese American Planning Council, and they advocate for this green crap, 815 00:47:43.159 --> 00:47:48.280 and specifically New York's super Fun Climates, super Fun requiring 816 00:47:48.400 --> 00:47:51.119 energy companies, the energy producers of the world, the gas 817 00:47:51.119 --> 00:47:55.159 and the oil companies, to cough up seventy five billion 818 00:47:55.320 --> 00:48:00.719 dollars to fund YEP green initiatives. And all this money 819 00:48:00.760 --> 00:48:05.119 flowed into this from various Chinese Communist Party affiliated entities. 820 00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:07.559 They're pushing for the money. That money will go for 821 00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:10.960 more green projects, it will go to creating a situation 822 00:48:11.119 --> 00:48:14.760 like they experienced that I just mentioned from in Spain, 823 00:48:14.880 --> 00:48:20.559 in France and Portugal, and they tell you this bill 824 00:48:20.599 --> 00:48:23.079 of goods, like well, this isn't going to cost the consumer, 825 00:48:25.119 --> 00:48:27.239 this is going to cost the energy companies. They're going 826 00:48:27.280 --> 00:48:29.480 to want to pay the billions of dollars into this 827 00:48:29.599 --> 00:48:35.039 program so we can get green stuff. But don't you 828 00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:37.320 think that that's a cost that would be passed on 829 00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:39.519 to those of us And the vast majority of us 830 00:48:39.519 --> 00:48:42.800 are still use gasoline and natural gas, etc. Of course 831 00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:47.360 it will be. So I just keep viewing this as 832 00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:51.639 there's this nefarious component behind it. Chinese Communist Party dominates 833 00:48:51.639 --> 00:48:55.159 the Internet, They're on TikTok, they're on Facebook, They're everywhere, 834 00:48:55.639 --> 00:48:59.119 and they can propel and perpetuate this nonsensical thing that 835 00:48:59.239 --> 00:49:02.760 carbon diete side is bad for us, it's bad for 836 00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:05.280 the globe when it happens to be plant food and 837 00:49:05.320 --> 00:49:08.800 then we bend over backwards to avoid producing carbon dioxide 838 00:49:08.840 --> 00:49:11.239 in our energy production and everything else, taking away our 839 00:49:11.239 --> 00:49:15.039 fertilizers for food, all the things that help us live efficient, 840 00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:19.079 comfortable and cozy lives and also create more instability in 841 00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:23.639 our grid when we pursue them. And we recently find 842 00:49:23.679 --> 00:49:28.679 out that Chinese Communist Party has installed remote listening and 843 00:49:28.760 --> 00:49:33.880 connection devices operated through the grid the solar panels themselves 844 00:49:33.880 --> 00:49:37.559 that we buy from them. Flip a switch and they're off. 845 00:49:38.679 --> 00:49:41.199 You don't have to wait for some nightmares situation like 846 00:49:41.239 --> 00:49:44.960 happen in Portugal and Spain where the grid got overwhelmed 847 00:49:44.960 --> 00:49:47.079 and two separate events happened at the same time. And 848 00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:50.280 have they gotten to the bottom of those two separate events? 849 00:49:51.360 --> 00:49:54.159 Could it possibly be since we know now the Chinese 850 00:49:54.199 --> 00:49:57.159 Communist Party has a way of communicating and connecting with 851 00:49:57.360 --> 00:50:01.880 and otherwise disturbing the solar panels that maybe, just maybe 852 00:50:01.920 --> 00:50:05.199 that they're behind that. It's certainly a possibility, given that 853 00:50:05.199 --> 00:50:12.199 that technology exists. I've always said it, now say it again. 854 00:50:14.280 --> 00:50:16.760 You'll know the day that Taiwan is attacked by the 855 00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:20.400 Chinese when the lights go out and you are stuck 856 00:50:20.440 --> 00:50:24.119 on an elevator five three, seven, nine fifty five hundred, 857 00:50:24.119 --> 00:50:25.800 eight hundred and eighty two to three talk pound five 858 00:50:25.840 --> 00:50:27.840 fifty on et and t phones. Oh look, the French 859 00:50:27.880 --> 00:50:31.800 are fighting back too against this kind of thing. QC 860 00:50:31.960 --> 00:50:34.960 Kinetics the folks to call. If you're experiencing pain, knee pain, 861 00:50:35.039 --> 00:50:37.280 hip pain, back pain, joint pain. Our threat is pain. 862 00:50:37.719 --> 00:50:40.800 You know you don't have to live with that. If 863 00:50:40.840 --> 00:50:43.199 you're in pain. There is a different way that does 864 00:50:43.239 --> 00:50:46.880 not involve surgery. It's an inoffice procedure that uses your 865 00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:52.639 own powerful cellular level of regenerative treatments from your body. 866 00:50:53.559 --> 00:50:55.559 You have your own body's healing power and the folks 867 00:50:55.559 --> 00:50:57.480 of QC Kinetics and know how to concentrate that in 868 00:50:57.480 --> 00:50:59.280 a place of right where that pain is and it 869 00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:03.159 helps solve the problem. Not quick fixes. Is the revolutionary 870 00:51:03.159 --> 00:51:06.199 treatment that works to give your body long term relief. 871 00:51:06.280 --> 00:51:08.440 This is not masking pain. They're going up to the 872 00:51:08.519 --> 00:51:11.199 very source of the pain. So you too, like tens 873 00:51:11.280 --> 00:51:14.159 of thousands of people across this country, can say about 874 00:51:14.159 --> 00:51:15.840 it to the chronic pain and live your best wife 875 00:51:15.880 --> 00:51:17.800 to find out if you are a good candidate. Guy, 876 00:51:17.800 --> 00:51:20.519 I guess it's not for everybody, but they offer a 877 00:51:20.599 --> 00:51:24.559 free consultation to set it up. Just give QC Kinetics 878 00:51:24.559 --> 00:51:26.440 a call.

The tox station talk station Thank You. 883 00:51:38.800 --> 00:51:45.079 Scott was listening talking about as Hawaiian climate taxes they're implementing. 884 00:51:46.480 --> 00:51:49.119 Excellent points, guy, He said, maybe those taxes will enable 885 00:51:49.119 --> 00:51:53.880 Hawaii to install some scrubbers on that volcano they have there. Yeah, 886 00:51:54.000 --> 00:51:57.079 install a carbon capture system on a volcano. Remind me 887 00:51:57.079 --> 00:52:00.199 of the comment that many people, the scientists are I've 888 00:52:00.239 --> 00:52:03.760 died after the California wildfires that they endure. This is 889 00:52:03.840 --> 00:52:06.920 prior to the Los Angeles wirefire. But same kind of 890 00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:09.880 thing that the amount of carbon and pollutants belched out 891 00:52:09.920 --> 00:52:13.199 by those fires negated all of the carbon capture efforts 892 00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:16.840 that we had engaged in to date. Mother nature plays 893 00:52:16.840 --> 00:52:20.760 an interesting role in that, doesn't she anyway? Speaking to revolt, 894 00:52:20.840 --> 00:52:23.119 this is sort of a tied end to it. If 895 00:52:23.119 --> 00:52:26.480 you speak up loudly and tell you're elected officials you're 896 00:52:26.480 --> 00:52:29.440 not going to have it, sometimes they'll actually listen to you. 897 00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:33.559 France wanted sixty six percent new car sales to be 898 00:52:33.559 --> 00:52:37.800 electric by twenty thirty, and earlier this year they expanded 899 00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:42.440 their low emission zone scheme to restrict older gas power 900 00:52:42.559 --> 00:52:46.039 vehicles from driving in any city with more than one 901 00:52:46.079 --> 00:52:49.719 hundred and fifty thousand residents, with violators facing hefty fines. 902 00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:54.400 So you can't drive your old car in the city. Period. 903 00:52:55.800 --> 00:53:00.199 Editorial board of the Journal q the public backlash. Not 904 00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:02.960 everyone in France can afford a shiny new low emission car, 905 00:53:03.159 --> 00:53:06.239 and most still have to get around town. National Assembly 906 00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:09.760 got the message and last Wednesday voted ninety eight to 907 00:53:09.840 --> 00:53:13.639 fifty one to scrap the low emission zones. A victory 908 00:53:14.320 --> 00:53:19.400 for the regular guy and for common sense, not the 909 00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:23.239 only thing that they're trying to do in France, driving 910 00:53:23.239 --> 00:53:27.760 restrictions among the many coercive components of France's brought a 911 00:53:27.800 --> 00:53:30.400 climate agenda. Tell me if these don't sound familiar. They 912 00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:33.679 want the French to carpool more, take fewer trips abroad, 913 00:53:33.800 --> 00:53:37.119 eat more vegetables and less meat, use less air conditioning 914 00:53:37.159 --> 00:53:41.239 in the summer. And they conclude with expect more political 915 00:53:41.239 --> 00:53:44.199 reversals as the public discovers the real life consequences of 916 00:53:44.239 --> 00:53:50.280 their leader's climate control ambitions. Yes. Amen, you fight back 917 00:53:50.400 --> 00:53:55.800 hard enough against this nonsense, you may get your elected 918 00:53:55.800 --> 00:53:59.360 officials concerned about their future enough that they turn their 919 00:53:59.400 --> 00:54:03.559 back on it.

You might want to consider 980 00:57:04.840 --> 00:57:08.360 locking your firearm up. Let's see what Tom's got this morning. Tom, 981 00:57:08.360 --> 00:57:11.320 thanks for calling the Morning Show. Happy Monday to you, sir. 982 00:57:12.199 --> 00:57:13.159 Happy Monday to you. 983 00:57:13.639 --> 00:57:16.599 I think on this Western Hills Viaduct, well we get it, 984 00:57:16.920 --> 00:57:18.880 get the thing built, and then put a toll charge 985 00:57:18.880 --> 00:57:20.960 on that thing, and maybe like. 986 00:57:22.639 --> 00:57:23.199 Don't you go. 987 00:57:23.199 --> 00:57:25.239 Out on the east coast and you cross over that 988 00:57:25.320 --> 00:57:29.800 Bay bridge that's like seven bucks or something across that. 989 00:57:30.159 --> 00:57:33.679 Well, how about the city of Cincinnati more responsibly direct 990 00:57:33.719 --> 00:57:36.079 spending so that we don't have to tax the people 991 00:57:36.119 --> 00:57:38.440 that are going over to the West side. I mean, 992 00:57:38.480 --> 00:57:40.559 I don't have to pay don't have to pay any 993 00:57:40.559 --> 00:57:43.320 money to get up into Hyde Park or into downtown 994 00:57:43.360 --> 00:57:45.519 Cincinnati or any the other areas I go. 995 00:57:47.199 --> 00:57:48.920 Paint in the streets with murals. 996 00:57:49.159 --> 00:57:52.400 Oh there's an idea. Hey, every little bit counts, Tom, 997 00:57:52.519 --> 00:57:55.800 every little bit counts. I wish they'd steer clear of 998 00:57:55.800 --> 00:57:58.800 all these nonsensical Green New Deal projects too, that they 999 00:57:58.840 --> 00:58:02.800 pursue with neckless abandon that comes at a significant cost. 1000 00:58:03.320 --> 00:58:06.639 All these non governmental organizations being funded with taxpayer dollars 1001 00:58:06.719 --> 00:58:09.360 and god knows what we get in return for that money. 1002 00:58:09.400 --> 00:58:12.000 But I'd rather be put to something like either the 1003 00:58:12.000 --> 00:58:16.320 Brent spent really the viaduct project or repairing the roads. 1004 00:58:17.679 --> 00:58:20.840 Clearly the roads need it. Let's see what New Hampshire 1005 00:58:20.880 --> 00:58:24.119 Gary's got. New Hampshire, Gary. Happy Monday to you, my friend. 1006 00:58:24.119 --> 00:58:25.199 Always good to hear from you. 1007 00:58:26.880 --> 00:58:31.000 Happy Monday to you too, Brian. Hey, I got to 1008 00:58:31.039 --> 00:58:35.320 tell you, I'm really impressed with this Ukraine attack. I 1009 00:58:36.360 --> 00:58:41.360 think this is a game changer for throughout the history 1010 00:58:41.159 --> 00:58:45.920 of warfare, because everything in the military has always set 1011 00:58:46.000 --> 00:58:50.760 up dress, right dress. I was aviation and all our 1012 00:58:51.679 --> 00:58:57.960 aircraft were always part well spread apart. You know, these 1013 00:58:58.000 --> 00:59:01.280 new drones for you know whatever, they cost one hundred 1014 00:59:01.320 --> 00:59:05.119 bucks and I don't know, have you seen the video 1015 00:59:05.159 --> 00:59:08.440 footage of them. They're just like ducks in a row 1016 00:59:08.480 --> 00:59:12.199 with swarm technology on the thrones. Yeah, and they didn't 1017 00:59:12.199 --> 00:59:14.320 have a chance. No, they didn't have a chance. 1018 00:59:14.360 --> 00:59:16.119 Well, you know, you would reminded me of a little 1019 00:59:16.119 --> 00:59:19.960 bit Gary was Pearl Harbor. All our ships are all 1020 00:59:20.039 --> 00:59:22.800 wind up in a row. Convenient, I mean, and we 1021 00:59:22.840 --> 00:59:25.079 didn't have modern technology and the Japs didn't have modern 1022 00:59:25.079 --> 00:59:27.480 technology with bombs back then. You stay there. They all 1023 00:59:27.480 --> 00:59:32.480 were in concentration, and so a swarm of drones obviously 1024 00:59:32.559 --> 00:59:36.480 can go to a larger area of land and even 1025 00:59:36.519 --> 00:59:39.320 if you move them, you know, I guess somewhat more 1026 00:59:39.360 --> 00:59:42.920 significantly apart, it makes it easy to hit. And the 1027 00:59:43.480 --> 00:59:46.000 idea that they were able to sneak all these inexpensive 1028 00:59:46.079 --> 00:59:48.559 drones in and get them very close to the airfields 1029 00:59:48.599 --> 00:59:50.880 they attacked. I don't know how they operated that, but 1030 00:59:50.960 --> 00:59:51.800 that was amazing. 1031 00:59:53.599 --> 00:59:57.360 Well, the thing that gets me, it's not just aircraft, 1032 00:59:57.679 --> 01:00:02.440 it's the barracks where we are, it's the fuel tanks, 1033 01:00:02.840 --> 01:00:08.280 it's everything, it's your civilian everything is now able to 1034 01:00:08.320 --> 01:00:10.480 do this. And I don't know, did you hear how 1035 01:00:10.480 --> 01:00:14.000 they got the little drones there with the little connexes 1036 01:00:14.519 --> 01:00:18.199 and they parked them right next to the airport. They've 1037 01:00:18.199 --> 01:00:21.039 been planning this for a year and a half now, 1038 01:00:21.239 --> 01:00:26.119 the Chinese, the giant, all these foreign people in our 1039 01:00:26.199 --> 01:00:32.440 country or even domestic people who hate our country. You know, 1040 01:00:33.199 --> 01:00:37.000 it doesn't take much for an attack like that to 1041 01:00:37.119 --> 01:00:40.639 the wide scale. While you're too busy over here putting 1042 01:00:40.639 --> 01:00:43.840 out the fires, and they're going to attack over here. 1043 01:00:43.880 --> 01:00:47.760 And you know, this changes the word in my mind, 1044 01:00:48.119 --> 01:00:49.719 this changes the world. 1045 01:00:50.280 --> 01:00:52.679 Drones period and the story of change the world. But 1046 01:00:52.719 --> 01:00:56.599 this is the greatest illustration to prove your point, and 1047 01:00:56.760 --> 01:01:01.000 there's no protecting yourself. I mean, doesn't have to fly 1048 01:01:01.239 --> 01:01:03.840 very far to hit its target. You're not going to 1049 01:01:03.920 --> 01:01:06.519 have time to operate one of these anti miss or 1050 01:01:06.599 --> 01:01:10.639 anti drone defense systems, it would seem, you know, fly 1051 01:01:10.760 --> 01:01:13.719 at low altitude, hit it in mass quantities. Maybe you 1052 01:01:13.800 --> 01:01:15.320 lose a few of the drones on the way over 1053 01:01:15.360 --> 01:01:17.199 to the to the target of the attack, but most 1054 01:01:17.239 --> 01:01:18.480 of them get through apparently. 1055 01:01:20.159 --> 01:01:23.159 I seem to remember a couple of years ago that 1056 01:01:23.960 --> 01:01:27.960 the first mass drone attack that I can remember was 1057 01:01:28.000 --> 01:01:33.039 a hooties. They threw some drones into an oil refinery 1058 01:01:33.679 --> 01:01:39.760 made out of cardboard and plywood at the Saudi Arabia, 1059 01:01:40.039 --> 01:01:43.880 and they did great damage to many of their refineries. 1060 01:01:44.360 --> 01:01:47.280 And it's just like you can see this coming. I 1061 01:01:47.320 --> 01:01:50.840 can see this coming, yep, and it's like, what do 1062 01:01:50.880 --> 01:01:51.880 you do well? 1063 01:01:51.960 --> 01:01:55.000 You know, I do not know, and you know this 1064 01:01:55.000 --> 01:01:58.719 this this sort of your comments, along with prior comments 1065 01:01:58.760 --> 01:02:02.320 that I've made an observation which aren't necessarily astute or unique. 1066 01:02:02.679 --> 01:02:06.119 With the ten to twenty million illegal immigrants that came 1067 01:02:06.159 --> 01:02:08.519 across our country, many of them on the terror watch list. 1068 01:02:08.599 --> 01:02:11.239 Yet nonetheless we're allowed a mission to our country. They're 1069 01:02:11.239 --> 01:02:14.840 all out there, and they're all embedded somewhere in our society. 1070 01:02:14.880 --> 01:02:18.800 They haven't been deported yet. Now, if they have nefarious intents, 1071 01:02:18.800 --> 01:02:21.159 they get their hands on one of these inexpensive drones, 1072 01:02:21.239 --> 01:02:24.400 which you can buy on Amazon. I'm sure they figured 1073 01:02:24.400 --> 01:02:26.719 out how to rig them with an explosive. They can 1074 01:02:26.800 --> 01:02:30.280 keep those drones anywhere near any really critical target, like, 1075 01:02:30.320 --> 01:02:35.039 for example, our electrical grid, targets, maybe an oil refinery 1076 01:02:35.119 --> 01:02:38.360 or factory. Like you say, get close by, launch it 1077 01:02:38.400 --> 01:02:40.960 from a van, and next thing you know, we've got 1078 01:02:40.960 --> 01:02:44.599 a massive problem on our hands. I'm equally worried, my friend, 1079 01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:47.840 equally worried. You got to get I'll tell you what though. 1080 01:02:47.880 --> 01:02:51.280 What surprised me the most about this, This was four 1081 01:02:51.360 --> 01:02:53.840 thousand kilometers one of the airbase that got hit by 1082 01:02:53.840 --> 01:02:57.360 these drones, four thousand kilometers into Russia from at least 1083 01:02:57.440 --> 01:03:00.679 Ukraine's border, and they hadn't been able to reach distances 1084 01:03:00.719 --> 01:03:02.760 like that with any of the technology they had, so 1085 01:03:03.000 --> 01:03:06.119 by getting them very close to the target, they were 1086 01:03:06.159 --> 01:03:09.920 assured of hitting the target. But isn't it amazing that 1087 01:03:09.960 --> 01:03:14.480 they were able to pull this off. You think the 1088 01:03:14.559 --> 01:03:17.360 Russians would be more aware of what's going on. But 1089 01:03:17.559 --> 01:03:21.000 you know, if Russia can't catch this, and they're able 1090 01:03:21.000 --> 01:03:23.960 to put all these you know, these buildings that they had, 1091 01:03:24.000 --> 01:03:26.239 the roofs that popped off, and the drones were here 1092 01:03:26.280 --> 01:03:28.760 to be launched from them right there, really close to 1093 01:03:28.840 --> 01:03:33.559 these air bases and they didn't catch it. Going back 1094 01:03:33.599 --> 01:03:36.400 to my point, it very well could be going on 1095 01:03:36.519 --> 01:03:40.800 right here, and to your point as well, scary six 1096 01:03:40.960 --> 01:03:43.119 twenty eight. Right now, if you have kc DE talk station, 1097 01:03:43.239 --> 01:03:47.679 got to be on our toes AH and Colon Electric 1098 01:03:47.719 --> 01:03:52.280 for electric projects, Colin Electric, residential Electric, Think Colin.

CD Talk station. 1115 01:04:40.960 --> 01:04:42.719 Look a for the temperature. Now it's forty eight. I 1116 01:04:42.719 --> 01:04:46.800 got it this morning it was sixty one and five 1117 01:04:46.880 --> 01:04:49.639 minutes ago was fifty three, So it must be dropping 1118 01:04:49.800 --> 01:04:52.039 or something. I don't know, maybe my temperature. 1119 01:04:51.679 --> 01:04:52.119 Is just wrong. 1120 01:04:52.519 --> 01:04:55.400 Apologies. If it is five one three, seven, four nine 1121 01:04:55.480 --> 01:04:57.760 fifty five hundred eight hundred two three talk and you know, 1122 01:04:58.639 --> 01:05:02.599 put as much confidence the weather forecasting as you like. Yeah, 1123 01:05:02.719 --> 01:05:07.360 but here's the fun figures on the bombers that were 1124 01:05:07.400 --> 01:05:09.800 blown up, the multiple aircraft that were blown up, and 1125 01:05:09.840 --> 01:05:18.559 the drones. The newspaper reported that those FPV drones that 1126 01:05:19.280 --> 01:05:21.639 the Ukrainians were using, the ones that were moved close 1127 01:05:21.719 --> 01:05:24.800 to the targets, can be bought for just a few 1128 01:05:24.920 --> 01:05:29.480 hundred dollars each. The forty one heavy bombers that were 1129 01:05:29.480 --> 01:05:35.039 either damaged or destroyed went up to like seven billion dollars. 1130 01:05:36.800 --> 01:05:40.559 So there's your return on investment. And I guess you 1131 01:05:40.599 --> 01:05:43.719 have to factor in considering the points that New Hampshire 1132 01:05:43.719 --> 01:05:46.599 Gary made and the follow up comments and the observations 1133 01:05:46.599 --> 01:05:49.079 about you know, these drones could literally be anywhere and 1134 01:05:49.159 --> 01:05:51.920 are literally anywhere. Whether they're ones that are capable of 1135 01:05:51.960 --> 01:05:55.800 doing damage and carrying explosives, I guess it depends on 1136 01:05:55.840 --> 01:05:58.960 the intent of the actor. But you know me, I'm 1137 01:05:59.000 --> 01:06:02.360 a huge fan of these modular nuclear reactors. Donald Trump 1138 01:06:02.480 --> 01:06:04.639 is as well, In fact that he just made an announcement 1139 01:06:04.599 --> 01:06:06.760 the other day I think it was on Friday about 1140 01:06:07.199 --> 01:06:11.800 changing moving away from Biden's batcrap insane climate agenda to 1141 01:06:12.079 --> 01:06:16.000 putting more energy and effort into nuclear power. White House 1142 01:06:16.039 --> 01:06:19.599 wants to deploy three hundred gigawatts of new nuclear capacity 1143 01:06:19.599 --> 01:06:22.960 by twenty fifty and have ten large reactors under construction 1144 01:06:23.079 --> 01:06:28.840 here by twenty thirty, while expanding domestic nuclear fuel supplies. 1145 01:06:29.119 --> 01:06:35.280 That's s according the executive or to resigned, so along 1146 01:06:35.280 --> 01:06:38.079 with accelerating the Nuclear Regulatory Commission reviews and getting rid 1147 01:06:38.119 --> 01:06:40.320 of some of the regulatory hurdles. Now as much as 1148 01:06:40.320 --> 01:06:43.039 I embrace that, think it's the answer to everyone's problems. 1149 01:06:43.079 --> 01:06:45.960 An abundant supply of electricity built on and produced by 1150 01:06:45.960 --> 01:06:48.559 a very small footprint, easy to build compared to the 1151 01:06:48.599 --> 01:06:54.840 old ways. Do we worry about that? Do our construction 1152 01:06:55.280 --> 01:06:59.039 methods have to? Now? Consider that we have nefarious actors 1153 01:06:59.159 --> 01:07:03.880 literally everywhere in the world that could have a drone 1154 01:07:03.920 --> 01:07:06.000 with an explosive on it that could blow up a 1155 01:07:06.119 --> 01:07:08.360 nuclear act reactor. Is this something we're going to have 1156 01:07:08.400 --> 01:07:12.039 to factor into the design. That problem certainly didn't exist 1157 01:07:12.079 --> 01:07:14.320 that long ago. It's not something I think you had 1158 01:07:14.320 --> 01:07:17.320 to really care or concern yourself about. Your only concern 1159 01:07:17.440 --> 01:07:21.280 was maybe some foreign power China, Russia launching a missile 1160 01:07:21.719 --> 01:07:24.960 that somehow decided to target our nuclear power plant as 1161 01:07:25.000 --> 01:07:28.559 opposed to a city or a manufacturing facility, that kind 1162 01:07:28.599 --> 01:07:31.320 of thing. The nature of war has changed overnight. Am 1163 01:07:31.360 --> 01:07:35.599 Scary made a great point on that. So I really 1164 01:07:35.599 --> 01:07:39.280 worry about the future along those lines, because hell, if 1165 01:07:39.320 --> 01:07:41.199 you only need a few hundred dollars and somehow to 1166 01:07:42.639 --> 01:07:50.199 a rigged drone, anything that currently exists that hasn't been modified, fortified, 1167 01:07:50.280 --> 01:07:53.400 or otherwise upgraded to with stand in attack is of 1168 01:07:53.440 --> 01:07:57.679 course quite vulnerable.

What's ay now? 1201 01:09:32.079 --> 01:09:34.520 I had I had the clear this is what Joe? 1202 01:09:34.800 --> 01:09:37.600 Was it okay for me to talk about the Nazis 1203 01:09:37.600 --> 01:09:40.760 salute supposedly coming from Cory Booker? 1204 01:09:41.000 --> 01:09:43.199 Yeah, brought that up this morning. 1205 01:09:45.119 --> 01:09:49.039 Yeah, yeah, I went back on went and looked at 1206 01:09:49.079 --> 01:09:52.520 it and they showed the two compared compared. But like 1207 01:09:52.600 --> 01:09:55.600 we say, hey, what's the content that was with it? 1208 01:09:56.279 --> 01:09:56.479 You know? 1209 01:09:56.800 --> 01:09:59.439 Yeah, whether it's salute or not, I just people get 1210 01:09:59.479 --> 01:10:02.399 bent out of James. I'll stay on the record. I 1211 01:10:02.439 --> 01:10:06.079 don't believe that it was a Nazi salute. Almost like 1212 01:10:06.079 --> 01:10:08.399 I said Elon Musk, you know, when you're in front 1213 01:10:08.439 --> 01:10:10.840 of a crowd and you're all ginned up and everybody's 1214 01:10:10.920 --> 01:10:13.159 roaring and cheering and responding to what you're saying, you're 1215 01:10:13.159 --> 01:10:15.279 in a political rally, your hands are going to go 1216 01:10:15.319 --> 01:10:17.199 all over the place. I've been there in front of 1217 01:10:17.239 --> 01:10:19.319 an audience and done crazy things, and I'm sure at 1218 01:10:19.359 --> 01:10:21.880 some point someone could have taken a picture where my 1219 01:10:22.000 --> 01:10:24.840 hand was outstretched like that as I was waving to 1220 01:10:24.960 --> 01:10:28.319 the room, for example, Was I saluting in a Nazi fashion? 1221 01:10:28.319 --> 01:10:31.600 Did I intend anything political by it? No, just waving. 1222 01:10:32.000 --> 01:10:33.920 So I don't think Corey Booker's a Nazi, and I 1223 01:10:33.920 --> 01:10:35.720 don't think he was doing a Nazi salute. He was 1224 01:10:35.800 --> 01:10:39.239 just the fun and games that's going on over Corey's 1225 01:10:39.239 --> 01:10:40.960 in the fact that they had a photo cap of 1226 01:10:41.039 --> 01:10:43.840 him looking like he's doing a Nazi salute. It's just 1227 01:10:43.880 --> 01:10:46.880 an illustration of comparison of the mainstream media's treatment of 1228 01:10:46.880 --> 01:10:50.239 Elon Musk versus Corey Booker, and they're all either defending 1229 01:10:50.319 --> 01:10:52.319 him or they're not even reporting on it, So it 1230 01:10:52.359 --> 01:10:56.760 stands out just as one of those illustrations of disparate treatment. 1231 01:10:59.359 --> 01:11:02.880 I agree, I agree, all right, guy, I have a 1232 01:11:02.880 --> 01:11:03.319 good day. 1233 01:11:03.359 --> 01:11:04.920 I just want to see what was it okay to 1234 01:11:04.920 --> 01:11:08.319 speak absolutely James. You know, the only thing you can't 1235 01:11:08.319 --> 01:11:11.279 speak about is when you're using FCC non compliant language. 1236 01:11:11.279 --> 01:11:13.600 And I've never heard you even utter an FCC non 1237 01:11:13.640 --> 01:11:15.960 compliant word, even when we're a listener lunch. So I 1238 01:11:15.960 --> 01:11:18.199 don't expect that from you. Am I going to see 1239 01:11:18.199 --> 01:11:19.920 it lunch on Wednesday, sir. 1240 01:11:20.800 --> 01:11:22.359 Yeah, we're looking to make it cool. 1241 01:11:22.359 --> 01:11:25.199 Oh I did, I did utter one word when I 1242 01:11:25.239 --> 01:11:30.840 was talking about that cow. Oh yeah you have. 1243 01:11:33.000 --> 01:11:35.319 I know, I know, and I could that was kind 1244 01:11:35.319 --> 01:11:38.119 of right on the margins. But other than that, no problem. 1245 01:11:39.000 --> 01:11:42.279 I'm not holding against you, James mad Tree Brewery. I'll 1246 01:11:42.359 --> 01:11:44.119 keep my finger scratched. You can make it. That's the 1247 01:11:44.159 --> 01:11:48.399 Summit Park location anyway, coming with the six fifty three 1248 01:11:48.520 --> 01:11:50.600 fifty five K to see the talk station. He's a 1249 01:11:50.640 --> 01:11:56.079 good guy. Tim Walltz a jerk. And maybe it's because 1250 01:11:56.079 --> 01:11:58.760 they don't have anything. I guess, I say as an 1251 01:11:58.800 --> 01:12:01.880 initial comment before I mentioned what Tim Walltz is saying 1252 01:12:02.079 --> 01:12:03.560 the other day, and may you may have heard it. 1253 01:12:06.720 --> 01:12:12.399 What are the Democrats going to do in Trump's gone? 1254 01:12:12.079 --> 01:12:16.199 They they haven't come up with a platform to run 1255 01:12:16.279 --> 01:12:20.399 on their their business, just scrambling to find an issue 1256 01:12:20.439 --> 01:12:25.359 that resonates with America. Their position on you know, men 1257 01:12:25.479 --> 01:12:30.119 playing in women's sports and gender transition surgeries and all 1258 01:12:30.159 --> 01:12:33.960 the other batcrap and saying stuff open borders. I mean, 1259 01:12:34.039 --> 01:12:35.479 we could go on and on and on all the 1260 01:12:35.479 --> 01:12:40.880 reasons Donald Trump got elected. They haven't given up on 1261 01:12:40.960 --> 01:12:45.039 those issues. They're still advocating for them, not as loudly 1262 01:12:45.119 --> 01:12:47.680 because they know they're not winning solutions, but they haven't 1263 01:12:47.760 --> 01:12:50.399 rejected them. They haven't come out with a new platform 1264 01:12:50.439 --> 01:12:52.680 saying no, no, no, we were wrong about that. And 1265 01:12:52.720 --> 01:12:56.439 we think, you know whatever, they're just running around about 1266 01:12:56.479 --> 01:12:59.960 evil Orange man and Governor Tim Waltz is still at it. 1267 01:13:01.640 --> 01:13:04.760 Maybe it's time for us to be a little meaner, 1268 01:13:04.920 --> 01:13:13.119 he said, speaking in a rally Columbia, South Carolina. Maybe 1269 01:13:13.159 --> 01:13:15.680 it's time for us to be a little meaner. We 1270 01:13:15.720 --> 01:13:20.199 need to be a bit more fierce because we have 1271 01:13:20.239 --> 01:13:27.119 to ferociously push back on this without elaborating necessarily what 1272 01:13:27.239 --> 01:13:31.159 this is. And he was a teacher, so that's the 1273 01:13:31.199 --> 01:13:33.800 context of the following statement. The thing that bothers a 1274 01:13:33.800 --> 01:13:36.840 teacher more than anything is to watch a bully. And 1275 01:13:36.880 --> 01:13:39.560 when it's a child, you talk to them and you 1276 01:13:39.640 --> 01:13:42.319 tell them why bullying is wrong. But when it's adult, 1277 01:13:42.319 --> 01:13:46.159 like Donald Trump, you bully the S word out of 1278 01:13:46.279 --> 01:13:52.479 him back. This is a cruel man. Donald Trump is 1279 01:13:52.479 --> 01:13:56.119 the existential threat we knew we knew was coming. It's 1280 01:13:56.159 --> 01:13:59.199 going to be a challenging few years here. We've got 1281 01:13:59.199 --> 01:14:01.159 the guts and we need to have to push back 1282 01:14:01.319 --> 01:14:07.199 on the bullies and the greed. Not a whole lot 1283 01:14:07.199 --> 01:14:10.199 of substance built into that. But considering Donald Trump was 1284 01:14:11.079 --> 01:14:15.079 well attempted assassinations at him twice, the victim of all 1285 01:14:15.239 --> 01:14:17.399 of the crap that they threw out him during his 1286 01:14:17.399 --> 01:14:23.680 first administration, unrelenting use of the government resources to go 1287 01:14:23.720 --> 01:14:27.239 after a politician that they disfavored because I guess, you know, 1288 01:14:28.000 --> 01:14:32.640 draining the swamp kind of attitude. But where's your policy, 1289 01:14:33.279 --> 01:14:38.000 mister Waltz. What are you going to use to push 1290 01:14:38.079 --> 01:14:44.359 back on Trump other than bullying him? Silence on that 1291 01:14:44.399 --> 01:14:48.319 one's deafening. But this world which becomes angry or and 1292 01:14:48.359 --> 01:14:51.640 angry every single day, and people resorting to violence more 1293 01:14:51.640 --> 01:14:54.359 and more often these days, this is not helpful in 1294 01:14:54.439 --> 01:14:58.840 any way, shape or form. I legitimately truly believe that 1295 01:14:59.000 --> 01:15:02.239 the folks liked Waltz and others within the Democratic Party 1296 01:15:02.760 --> 01:15:06.680 want harm, and I mean significant harm to befall the 1297 01:15:06.720 --> 01:15:08.560 President of the United States of America. And that is 1298 01:15:08.600 --> 01:15:12.359 not something I have ever ever hoped for in any administration. 1299 01:15:14.119 --> 01:15:16.159 Six point fifty six fifty five kr CD talk station. 1300 01:15:16.239 --> 01:15:18.000 Feel free to chime in.

Monday Monday's Brian James on at 1315 01:16:11.439 --> 01:16:14.560 eight oh five with a big list of gloom and doom. Jeez, Brian, 1316 01:16:15.640 --> 01:16:18.680 anything good going on out in the world anyway? With 1317 01:16:18.800 --> 01:16:22.479 all the bad news? How should this affect how we invest? 1318 01:16:23.199 --> 01:16:26.439 Ultimately getting some investment advice from the financial planner himself. 1319 01:16:27.039 --> 01:16:32.199 Let's see here, I was talking about the violence and 1320 01:16:32.239 --> 01:16:33.880 air in the system, and it keeps me getting more 1321 01:16:33.920 --> 01:16:36.520 and more violent. You got Walt urging democrats, the bully, 1322 01:16:36.520 --> 01:16:39.479 the S word out of Trump. You know, feeding adding 1323 01:16:39.479 --> 01:16:41.560 fuel to the fire, although not coming up with any 1324 01:16:41.920 --> 01:16:45.159 you know, articulable reason why people should be in favor 1325 01:16:45.159 --> 01:16:51.600 of democrats. We had this most recent attack by the 1326 01:16:51.640 --> 01:16:54.199 Egyptian national came into our country a couple of years ago, 1327 01:16:54.239 --> 01:17:01.000 overstaying his visa and attacking proan. This Run for Their 1328 01:17:01.000 --> 01:17:05.560 Lives grassroots groups organizes run and walk events calling for 1329 01:17:05.600 --> 01:17:10.720 the release of Israeli hostages held since October seventh by Hamas. 1330 01:17:10.800 --> 01:17:17.680 That's all they do. They're advocating to free hostages, and 1331 01:17:17.720 --> 01:17:19.439 what's wrong with that? They do it in a peaceful 1332 01:17:19.479 --> 01:17:23.680 way anyway. Mohammed Sabre Solomon forty five, the guy that 1333 01:17:23.720 --> 01:17:28.960 overstated his visa, attacked people with a flamethrower and molotov cocktails. 1334 01:17:29.119 --> 01:17:30.920 Injured quite a few folks, one of them is in 1335 01:17:31.000 --> 01:17:37.279 I believe, reporting critical condition. Victims range in the age 1336 01:17:37.279 --> 01:17:46.479 from between fifty two and eighty eight and moving over. 1337 01:17:46.720 --> 01:17:52.359 Of course, always controversial Israel Palestine. Obviously, we've heard a 1338 01:17:52.399 --> 01:17:55.439 lot about Harvard not protecting their Israeli students, or rather 1339 01:17:55.479 --> 01:18:00.600 they're Jewish students, and sort of coddling the Palestinian testers 1340 01:18:00.640 --> 01:18:03.720 who are entitled to protests, but not engage in taking 1341 01:18:03.760 --> 01:18:07.800 over campus facilities, otherwise interfering with others who are working 1342 01:18:07.840 --> 01:18:13.199 on getting the value of their hourly credits, learning something, 1343 01:18:13.279 --> 01:18:20.279 getting an education, and violence in connection with the trans 1344 01:18:20.399 --> 01:18:26.960 athletes men competing against women. Ady Hernandez, described as the 1345 01:18:27.000 --> 01:18:31.880 transgender shooting student athlete for Jurupa Valley High School in California, 1346 01:18:32.640 --> 01:18:34.800 got first place in the high jump over the weekend 1347 01:18:34.840 --> 01:18:37.640 and triple jump at the state championships on Saturday at 1348 01:18:37.720 --> 01:18:42.840 Veterans Memorial Statement or Stadium. Also finished second place in 1349 01:18:42.880 --> 01:18:46.800 the high jump at a place called Woodrow Wilson High Schools. 1350 01:18:49.000 --> 01:18:52.279 Lauren Webster was the only female to finish ahead of 1351 01:18:52.319 --> 01:18:59.359 the transgender Hernandez in any competition over the weekend. Hernandez 1352 01:18:59.800 --> 01:19:02.720 he I Guess, previously took first place in all three 1353 01:19:02.760 --> 01:19:05.960 events at the preliminary round on Friday. Female competitors who 1354 01:19:06.000 --> 01:19:09.279 finished behind Hernandez in the weekend's events get a load 1355 01:19:09.319 --> 01:19:14.439 of this. We're all bumped up one spot and receive 1356 01:19:14.520 --> 01:19:18.439 the medal they would have earned had the transathlete not competed. 1357 01:19:18.520 --> 01:19:23.000 This is the solution from the California Interscholastic Federation. So 1358 01:19:23.159 --> 01:19:25.680 Donald Trump sent a warning to California saying, hey, look, 1359 01:19:26.000 --> 01:19:28.199 you're gonna lose your funding if you allow men to 1360 01:19:28.199 --> 01:19:31.119 compete against women. This is an ongoing battle, you know 1361 01:19:31.159 --> 01:19:33.920 about that Title nine and whether or not it protects 1362 01:19:33.960 --> 01:19:37.920 men to and allows them to play against women. So 1363 01:19:38.560 --> 01:19:42.359 they made a series of rule changes recently the California 1364 01:19:42.479 --> 01:19:47.880 Interscholastic Federation to ensure that any females who be finished 1365 01:19:47.920 --> 01:19:53.239 behind a biological male will be appropriately rewarded a medal 1366 01:19:53.239 --> 01:19:56.720 based upon where they placed among just the female competitors. 1367 01:19:57.119 --> 01:20:04.560 Does that make any sense? So the transgender female, the 1368 01:20:04.600 --> 01:20:08.760 guy can go around saying I got a first place medal, 1369 01:20:08.840 --> 01:20:11.479 and then the person he beat out right behind him, 1370 01:20:11.520 --> 01:20:15.319 the female gets a first place medal as well, and 1371 01:20:15.359 --> 01:20:18.960 goes and I said, well I actually won. Who gets 1372 01:20:19.000 --> 01:20:21.800 more credibility with their first place metal? I mean it 1373 01:20:22.000 --> 01:20:30.279 just I mean, why go down this road? Fox News 1374 01:20:30.319 --> 01:20:34.880 reporting Conflicting protests plagued these championships, starting on Friday, with 1375 01:20:34.960 --> 01:20:37.239 pro elg this is where your violence comes in. Pro 1376 01:20:37.640 --> 01:20:44.720 LGBTQ protesters and pro female protesters wielding signs, flags, clothing 1377 01:20:44.800 --> 01:20:50.159 expressing their respective messaging. The conflict between the protesters at 1378 01:20:50.159 --> 01:20:58.279 one point became violent of course it did. Who became violent? 1379 01:20:58.520 --> 01:21:00.239 If you haven't seen the reporting on this, who do 1380 01:21:00.279 --> 01:21:02.439 you think became violent? The pro women's side of the 1381 01:21:02.600 --> 01:21:07.239 argument of the pro LGBTQ side well. In this particular case, 1382 01:21:07.279 --> 01:21:11.920 the LGBTQ protesters struck a local conservative actis named Josh 1383 01:21:12.039 --> 01:21:18.840 Fulfer with a flagpole. Footage obtained by Fox News shows 1384 01:21:18.840 --> 01:21:24.720 the LGBTQ protester Ethan Kroll attacked Fulfer through a car 1385 01:21:24.800 --> 01:21:31.239 window and ultimately got arrested. Kroll mail arrested for assault 1386 01:21:31.239 --> 01:21:33.920 with a deadly weapon other than a firearm, obstructing public 1387 01:21:33.960 --> 01:21:38.680 officer in vandalism. Police Chief there Chris Hutchison, speaking with 1388 01:21:38.720 --> 01:21:41.760 Fox News said no other criminal acts occurred at the 1389 01:21:41.840 --> 01:21:45.159 track meet Friday. Our stance is always to allow people 1390 01:21:45.199 --> 01:21:47.800 to exercise their constitutional right to free speech and protest. 1391 01:21:47.880 --> 01:21:49.279 They have the right to do it in a matter 1392 01:21:49.359 --> 01:21:53.319 that isn't enticing, inciting violence, or causing other problems. We 1393 01:21:53.359 --> 01:21:55.840 don't have room for violence or property damage or anything 1394 01:21:55.880 --> 01:22:03.600 like that. No kidding, however, California Family Council Outreach Director 1395 01:22:03.720 --> 01:22:07.880 Sophia Lori, this is the following day taken out a 1396 01:22:07.960 --> 01:22:14.039 Veterans Memorial Stadium Stadium by these CIF officials, the California 1397 01:22:14.079 --> 01:22:18.359 Interscholastic Federation, the ones that made the rule change because 1398 01:22:18.399 --> 01:22:27.640 she was passing out save girls Sports wristband. HM, that's speech. 1399 01:22:27.960 --> 01:22:31.760 That's not violent. That's not hitting someone with a flagpole, 1400 01:22:31.880 --> 01:22:33.800 is it here? Would you like a risk band? 1401 01:22:34.199 --> 01:22:34.279 No? 1402 01:22:34.479 --> 01:22:37.520 Thank you, I wouldn't. Oh, thank you very much. I 1403 01:22:37.560 --> 01:22:46.199 support women's sports. So it just depends on who's speaking. 1404 01:22:46.239 --> 01:22:49.000 I guess whether they actually honor free speech rights or not. 1405 01:22:50.760 --> 01:22:53.199 She also pointed out that she passed out these messages 1406 01:22:53.199 --> 01:22:55.520 and these wristbands at prior events didn't have any issues, 1407 01:22:55.520 --> 01:22:59.359 so we handed out half page flyers at the prelim event. 1408 01:23:00.000 --> 01:23:03.800 I'm not told anything that we couldn't do that she 1409 01:23:03.920 --> 01:23:10.000 was thrown out of the venue. Laurie and other conservatives 1410 01:23:10.000 --> 01:23:13.600 there that unlike previous events, a man on a megaphone 1411 01:23:13.640 --> 01:23:16.600 at this event where she was thrown out repeatedly ordered 1412 01:23:16.720 --> 01:23:21.279 spectators not to make disparaging comments about any competitors, officials, 1413 01:23:21.840 --> 01:23:25.319 or other spectators on Saturday. So you can't even speak. 1414 01:23:25.560 --> 01:23:29.720 In the country with free speech, you can't speak. I 1415 01:23:29.720 --> 01:23:32.039 suppose it just depends on whose ox is getting gord. 1416 01:23:32.279 --> 01:23:34.319 But going back to the rule, change. I mean, can 1417 01:23:34.319 --> 01:23:40.439 can someone explain that to me? Why that is you 1418 01:23:40.600 --> 01:23:43.359 get the first place metal even though you came in second. 1419 01:23:43.439 --> 01:23:45.560 Under their rules and in their hearts and minds, this 1420 01:23:45.600 --> 01:23:49.399 person that got the first is a girl. This is 1421 01:23:49.439 --> 01:23:54.119 what they firmly believe they should be treated like a girl. 1422 01:23:54.159 --> 01:23:56.319 They are considered a girl. They're in all ways shapes 1423 01:23:56.359 --> 01:23:58.520 and forms of a girl because they say they are. 1424 01:23:58.800 --> 01:24:01.680 Er Go, Why if that's your belief system, and that's 1425 01:24:01.680 --> 01:24:04.079 what the law of the state of California currently holds, 1426 01:24:04.640 --> 01:24:08.560 why would you give the second place metal a recipient 1427 01:24:08.600 --> 01:24:13.720 a first place medal? You're obviously recognizing the biological distinction, 1428 01:24:14.920 --> 01:24:17.600 defeating the whole notion that what that person says they 1429 01:24:17.640 --> 01:24:25.319 are by way of sexual identification is actually truth, which 1430 01:24:26.319 --> 01:24:28.479 to me, to me is just at the heart of 1431 01:24:28.479 --> 01:24:35.119 the backcrap insanity of all this anyway. Christopher smithmty on 1432 01:24:35.199 --> 01:24:41.439 deck to relieve men fifteen. If you five k C 1433 01:24:41.560 --> 01:24:44.840 detox station, chimney care fireplace in stove, get your chimney inspected. 1434 01:24:44.880 --> 01:24:47.239 It's the right thing to do. It's all about your safety. 1435 01:24:47.520 --> 01:24:49.319 And if you've got a wood burning fireplace and you 1436 01:24:49.319 --> 01:24:51.000 haven't had inspected in a long time. You could have 1437 01:24:51.039 --> 01:24:53.760 a serious creosote build up that could catch your chimney 1438 01:24:53.800 --> 01:24:56.680 on fire crack the lining, or it could be that 1439 01:24:56.680 --> 01:24:58.600 your lining is already cracked from a prior one. You 1440 01:24:58.600 --> 01:25:01.680 wouldn't know about it. Just because you have a chimney 1441 01:25:01.720 --> 01:25:03.279 fire doesn't mean you're gonna be aware of it. Because 1442 01:25:03.319 --> 01:25:04.880 the smoke from the chimney fire is going to go 1443 01:25:04.920 --> 01:25:06.479 out the chimney out of the top. But it's the 1444 01:25:06.520 --> 01:25:08.640 fire that's a problem. Can crack the lining. If that's 1445 01:25:08.680 --> 01:25:11.560 already happened, you get another chimney fire, you could burn 1446 01:25:11.600 --> 01:25:13.640 your house down. I don't know if the first fire 1447 01:25:13.640 --> 01:25:15.920 could burn the house down, But why worry about it? 1448 01:25:15.960 --> 01:25:19.000 Get a chimney sweep and take advantage of the chimneycare 1449 01:25:19.000 --> 01:25:21.880 fireplace in Still Springs thus special the woodburning sweep and 1450 01:25:21.920 --> 01:25:25.079 evaluation for only one sixty nine ninety nine plus tax 1451 01:25:25.439 --> 01:25:28.520 video camera inspection certified chimney sweep doing the sweeping, They 1452 01:25:28.600 --> 01:25:31.479 check it top to bottom, including an xterior evaluation to 1453 01:25:31.520 --> 01:25:33.840 make sure you don't have any water damage, and they 1454 01:25:33.880 --> 01:25:35.680 really know what they're doing. They're locally on and operated 1455 01:25:35.760 --> 01:25:38.640 since nineteen eighty eight eight plus with a better business Bureaum. Now, 1456 01:25:38.640 --> 01:25:39.880 if you don't have a wood burning you don't have 1457 01:25:39.920 --> 01:25:41.439 to worry about the Chrisoap build up, but you do 1458 01:25:41.520 --> 01:25:44.479 need to worry about water damage.

I always 1468 01:26:12.600 --> 01:26:14.840 look forward to this time of morning on a Monday. 1469 01:26:15.319 --> 01:26:16.560 You have to hear from the poor Vice Mayor of 1470 01:26:16.600 --> 01:26:18.680 the City of Cincinnati for this smither event. Welcome by 1471 01:26:18.800 --> 01:26:20.880 Christopher SMITHAM and my friend. Pleasure to have you on 1472 01:26:20.920 --> 01:26:22.520 the program. 1473 01:26:22.760 --> 01:26:26.359 Hey brother, thanks for having me on. I tell you 1474 01:26:26.439 --> 01:26:34.960 I saw yesterday this Egyptian person who's in our country illegally, 1475 01:26:36.000 --> 01:26:40.000 you know, setting people on fire. Eight people on fire 1476 01:26:40.159 --> 01:26:46.600 who are Americans. They're there peacefully exercising their First Amendment 1477 01:26:46.680 --> 01:26:51.119 right to say I want the hostages released from Hamas. Yeah, 1478 01:26:52.279 --> 01:26:56.760 and they're firebombed by somebody who is in our country illegally. 1479 01:26:57.600 --> 01:26:59.840 One of the people eighty eight years old, which is 1480 01:26:59.840 --> 01:27:04.560 my mother's age, and setting her on fire where she's 1481 01:27:04.640 --> 01:27:08.640 laying on the ground burning to death. I'm trying to 1482 01:27:08.680 --> 01:27:13.279 figure out how to make kids and tales of the 1483 01:27:13.319 --> 01:27:20.960 Democratic Party that just won't stand with this administration on 1484 01:27:20.960 --> 01:27:24.680 one issue. If you've committed a crime, you've killed somebody, 1485 01:27:24.720 --> 01:27:29.520 you've raped them, you've robbed somebody, you say, whatever the 1486 01:27:29.560 --> 01:27:33.800 crime is, and you're in the country illegally, we can 1487 01:27:33.880 --> 01:27:37.600 deport you. I don't understand Brian Thomas what they're fighting. 1488 01:27:38.000 --> 01:27:41.640 They're not talking about dreamers. I'm not on board with that. 1489 01:27:42.680 --> 01:27:44.720 I mean, the reality of it is, if you come 1490 01:27:44.760 --> 01:27:49.039 to this country illegally, you've jumped the fence, you've jumped 1491 01:27:49.039 --> 01:27:51.159 the process. Because there's so many people that are listening 1492 01:27:51.199 --> 01:27:55.479 to this radio show who came here legally and they're 1493 01:27:55.560 --> 01:27:59.640 not tolerating somebody here setting eight people on fire. 1494 01:28:00.479 --> 01:28:03.079 Well, let's cut to the chase. No one should tolerate 1495 01:28:03.159 --> 01:28:06.279 anyone sending paper eight people on fire. For any political 1496 01:28:06.359 --> 01:28:09.199 cause or anything else. For that reason, this is what 1497 01:28:09.319 --> 01:28:11.479 terrorists do. That's why they're calling it a terror attack. 1498 01:28:11.640 --> 01:28:15.640 Terror is the actions of the week. Those with few 1499 01:28:15.840 --> 01:28:19.760 numbers try to commit horrific, horrific acts in the name 1500 01:28:19.800 --> 01:28:22.399 of trying to make themselves look more powerful than they 1501 01:28:22.439 --> 01:28:26.439 are and an effort to prevent people from peaceably exercising 1502 01:28:26.479 --> 01:28:29.399 a message that runs contrary to what these terrorists want. 1503 01:28:30.039 --> 01:28:32.479 So people are then afraid. If you're a Jewish person, 1504 01:28:32.560 --> 01:28:35.199 you were planning on tending a run for their lives 1505 01:28:35.359 --> 01:28:38.279 rally in support of getting the terrorists or getting the 1506 01:28:38.479 --> 01:28:41.199 hostages out of the hands of Hamas. Now you're thinking 1507 01:28:41.199 --> 01:28:43.920 to yourself, geez am, I going to be the victim 1508 01:28:43.960 --> 01:28:46.720 of a firebomb attack by one of these looney tunes. 1509 01:28:46.720 --> 01:28:48.560 Maybe I shouldn't show up at the event. 1510 01:28:50.439 --> 01:28:53.479 And this is what ties into what we're seeing at 1511 01:28:53.479 --> 01:28:57.319 these universities, YEP, where you have people there that are 1512 01:28:57.359 --> 01:29:03.359 saying free Palestine, Free Palestine. They're calling for the end 1513 01:29:03.880 --> 01:29:07.800 of the Jewish state, and they're in the country as 1514 01:29:07.840 --> 01:29:10.840 a guest. They're here as our guests. They're not here, 1515 01:29:10.880 --> 01:29:15.279 they're not Americans. And I just can't imagine going to 1516 01:29:15.359 --> 01:29:20.119 somebody else's country and then turning around and fire bombing 1517 01:29:20.199 --> 01:29:22.960 their citizen and thinking I'm going to get out of 1518 01:29:23.039 --> 01:29:27.399 their lives. Meaning why don't we set him on fire today? 1519 01:29:28.359 --> 01:29:31.439 If that was the reason we don't is we're a 1520 01:29:31.479 --> 01:29:35.520 civilized country. We have rules, we have laws, we follow them. 1521 01:29:35.520 --> 01:29:38.279 But the reality of it is what makes sense to 1522 01:29:38.319 --> 01:29:40.479 me this morning. If that was my mother, who I 1523 01:29:40.520 --> 01:29:44.560 have a mother that age, I would want to set 1524 01:29:44.960 --> 01:29:49.680 this person on fire today. You've come into our country 1525 01:29:49.720 --> 01:29:54.039 illegally and then set my mother on fire and walked away. 1526 01:29:54.279 --> 01:29:58.159 And you know as a concealed carry that if I 1527 01:29:58.359 --> 01:30:01.399 was in that situation, I the shot that guy. There's 1528 01:30:01.520 --> 01:30:03.960 no way you're standing there with I don't even understand 1529 01:30:04.000 --> 01:30:06.800 how he's getting away with it with his shirt off, 1530 01:30:06.920 --> 01:30:10.159 walking around with the canister like he's about to fire 1531 01:30:10.239 --> 01:30:12.279 bomb somebody else and nobody shoots him. 1532 01:30:12.439 --> 01:30:14.560 Yeah, you know, that's a good point, Christopher, because if 1533 01:30:14.560 --> 01:30:19.000 someone else is harming someone violently or trying to kill them, 1534 01:30:19.439 --> 01:30:22.199 you have the right to defend the other people with 1535 01:30:22.359 --> 01:30:25.479 your firearm. You can use deadly force under those circumstances. 1536 01:30:25.479 --> 01:30:27.640 The best that I understanding under the law problem is 1537 01:30:27.680 --> 01:30:30.319 it's California. How many people out there actually had a 1538 01:30:30.359 --> 01:30:34.359 gun on them? Colorado, Colorado, Colorado. 1539 01:30:34.640 --> 01:30:36.159 Let me let me tell you to the brother, you're 1540 01:30:36.199 --> 01:30:39.640 my friend. If somebody has set me on fire and 1541 01:30:39.640 --> 01:30:41.920 they're walking around with their shirt off and you have 1542 01:30:42.000 --> 01:30:44.319 your firearm and you don't take them out, I'm gonna 1543 01:30:44.319 --> 01:30:46.720 be disappointed. Brian Top, I'm not worried about what the 1544 01:30:46.800 --> 01:30:50.439 law is. Let's shoot to that Christian blater. He's burning 1545 01:30:50.520 --> 01:30:53.560 up everybody around them. I mean, that's what's so crazy 1546 01:30:53.600 --> 01:30:57.039 about it. And they continue meaning every time the president 1547 01:30:57.119 --> 01:31:00.399 says I'm going to take a criminal who has rape 1548 01:31:00.399 --> 01:31:05.039 somebody's child, who's murdered somebody who's robbed them, you have 1549 01:31:05.359 --> 01:31:08.039 Democrats and people who are following this might not know 1550 01:31:08.119 --> 01:31:11.560 that this is happening, traveling to other countries saying, hey man, 1551 01:31:11.600 --> 01:31:14.600 I want this MS thirteen gang member back into the 1552 01:31:14.680 --> 01:31:17.720 United States of America. All of these things are connected, 1553 01:31:17.760 --> 01:31:20.800 they're not disconnected. What's happening at Harvard is this is 1554 01:31:20.840 --> 01:31:24.159 connected to this in Columbia, what's happening at Northwestern, what's 1555 01:31:24.159 --> 01:31:27.680 happening at MIT? That big speech that was given a 1556 01:31:27.760 --> 01:31:30.359 last week by the MIT at the commencement speech, what 1557 01:31:30.479 --> 01:31:34.079 the President said at the Harvard graduation. All of these 1558 01:31:34.119 --> 01:31:38.359 things are stoking what we're seeing happening around the country, 1559 01:31:38.399 --> 01:31:43.119 and they are responsible. Your language at times are weapons, 1560 01:31:43.359 --> 01:31:47.199 and they're giving people the power to say it's okay 1561 01:31:47.199 --> 01:31:50.119 to go out and set eight people on fire, who 1562 01:31:50.159 --> 01:31:54.439 are Americans who are assembled their First Amendment. Right. They're 1563 01:31:54.479 --> 01:31:58.000 saying Harmas has these hostages and I want them back. 1564 01:31:58.439 --> 01:32:00.279 And by the way, as I can clude, because I 1565 01:32:00.359 --> 01:32:02.319 know you're about to go to break, let me say 1566 01:32:02.319 --> 01:32:08.439 that Israel isn't attacking quote the Palestinian people. They're attacking Hamas, 1567 01:32:08.640 --> 01:32:13.119 which is a terrorist organization. This notion that Hamas isn't 1568 01:32:13.239 --> 01:32:17.039 using the Palestinian people as shields, which is what they're doing. 1569 01:32:17.399 --> 01:32:21.159 They're using their people and putting their missiles or their 1570 01:32:21.239 --> 01:32:25.319 tanks or whatever. They're doing their rockets in hospitals, in schools, 1571 01:32:25.319 --> 01:32:29.680 on playgrounds, around the general population. This is their goal 1572 01:32:29.920 --> 01:32:32.720 as a terrorist organization. So no one is out here 1573 01:32:32.720 --> 01:32:37.039 trying to kill Palestinian people. We love the Palestinian people, right, 1574 01:32:37.560 --> 01:32:41.680 we support the Palestinian people. We're talking about Harmas. And 1575 01:32:41.760 --> 01:32:44.000 so when you get on these college campuses and you're 1576 01:32:44.039 --> 01:32:48.399 saying I support Harmas and you're supporting a terrorist organization. 1577 01:32:48.760 --> 01:32:50.399 You should be deported to your country. 1578 01:32:50.800 --> 01:32:54.640 October seventh, that was Hamas and think of how horrific 1579 01:32:54.720 --> 01:32:57.800 that day was for the Jewish people. If you have 1580 01:32:57.920 --> 01:33:01.800 Karosite talk station Bright Timos with Christopher Smithman, smither Ben Christopher, 1581 01:33:02.479 --> 01:33:03.039 have at it. 1582 01:33:04.439 --> 01:33:08.680 Hey, brother, look a sensitive subject matter and I have 1583 01:33:08.840 --> 01:33:15.359 not spoken about PG Sittenfield since he was arrested, So 1584 01:33:15.439 --> 01:33:20.520 this is probably my first commentary publicly about PG Sittenfield 1585 01:33:20.560 --> 01:33:24.199 since his arrest. I was shocked by the pardon. Like 1586 01:33:24.359 --> 01:33:29.880 many people in Cincinnati. You know, I served with PG Sittenfield, 1587 01:33:29.960 --> 01:33:32.840 So you're listening audience should know that. You know, as 1588 01:33:32.840 --> 01:33:35.560 an elected official, as a member of council, the vice 1589 01:33:35.600 --> 01:33:37.720 mayor of the City of Cincinnati, I served with him, 1590 01:33:37.760 --> 01:33:41.039 so I have a good understanding of how he operated, 1591 01:33:41.119 --> 01:33:43.640 what he said as a member of council, how he 1592 01:33:43.720 --> 01:33:47.880 conducted himself. And he was a person first of all, 1593 01:33:48.319 --> 01:33:51.520 that I never wanted to associate with. Let me just 1594 01:33:51.560 --> 01:33:54.520 be clear about it. And it was just his aggressiveness, 1595 01:33:54.600 --> 01:33:59.960 his his way of talking about mansplaining, or the way 1596 01:34:00.119 --> 01:34:05.199 he treated Children's hospital, calling them racist because they were 1597 01:34:05.199 --> 01:34:08.359 expanding their four hundred million dollar facility, and that was 1598 01:34:08.560 --> 01:34:12.439 that was for his political, uh political expedient in his mind, 1599 01:34:13.479 --> 01:34:16.199 but for the for the real heart reason was the 1600 01:34:16.279 --> 01:34:19.399 text messages from the Gang of five related to my 1601 01:34:19.560 --> 01:34:22.800 dying right. And so I'm not this, I'm not this 1602 01:34:22.960 --> 01:34:27.800 neutral person about him. I don't wish bad upon anybody, 1603 01:34:28.000 --> 01:34:31.760 including him because because that's that's against where I am, Morley. 1604 01:34:32.079 --> 01:34:34.439 But let me address just one or two things about this. 1605 01:34:35.000 --> 01:34:38.640 It's really clear clear as it will. So first of all, 1606 01:34:38.680 --> 01:34:41.479 I want to thank the Federal Bureau of Investigation. They're 1607 01:34:41.560 --> 01:34:44.720 right there by your by the radio station. They did 1608 01:34:44.720 --> 01:34:48.000 a great job. They went out and did their jobs, 1609 01:34:48.039 --> 01:34:50.680 and they rooted out corruption at city Hall first. So 1610 01:34:51.239 --> 01:34:54.960 those FBI agents, I'm sure feel a certain way this 1611 01:34:55.079 --> 01:34:59.680 morning seeing that he was exonerated or pardoned by the 1612 01:34:59.720 --> 01:35:03.000 present in the United States of America. But having said that, 1613 01:35:03.119 --> 01:35:07.600 they caught him dead right, meaning he was not found 1614 01:35:07.640 --> 01:35:10.600 guilty on a variety of charges Brian Thomas. But the 1615 01:35:10.640 --> 01:35:13.560 one he was found guilty guilty on is when he 1616 01:35:13.680 --> 01:35:18.359 was in that hotel room and he literally said, not verbatim, 1617 01:35:18.359 --> 01:35:20.000 because I don't have the text in front of me, 1618 01:35:20.640 --> 01:35:24.079 I am taking this money from you, and I will 1619 01:35:24.079 --> 01:35:27.880 deliver votes. I will deliver not even my vote, other 1620 01:35:28.039 --> 01:35:32.000 votes on whatever your issue was. Whatever those developers were 1621 01:35:32.000 --> 01:35:36.159 saying that they were doing. That is illegal, and that 1622 01:35:36.359 --> 01:35:39.079 is what he was found guilty on. So the reality 1623 01:35:39.079 --> 01:35:41.399 of it is is it's not like PG. Sitting Field 1624 01:35:41.479 --> 01:35:44.520 is innocent. If we allowed every elected official out here 1625 01:35:44.960 --> 01:35:49.720 to exchange money for votes, we'd have a major problem. Right. 1626 01:35:49.920 --> 01:35:53.279 People say that corruption is too high now in local government. 1627 01:35:53.520 --> 01:35:57.960 I'm hoping that something like this doesn't embolden people to 1628 01:35:58.039 --> 01:36:00.920 do things to get away with them. But the reality 1629 01:36:00.960 --> 01:36:03.359 of it was, I'm not questioning the president and his 1630 01:36:04.079 --> 01:36:07.840 desire to pardon him. I know that PG. Sittenfeld hired 1631 01:36:07.880 --> 01:36:11.439 one of Trump's lawyers. I found that very interesting, and 1632 01:36:11.920 --> 01:36:15.039 you have right. And at the same time, he's on 1633 01:36:15.119 --> 01:36:18.159 the floor of Council when I'm serving with him, dogging 1634 01:36:18.199 --> 01:36:21.439 out President Trump in his four year first four year term, 1635 01:36:21.800 --> 01:36:24.760 so he's verbally trashing him, using him as a rod 1636 01:36:24.920 --> 01:36:28.319 going after Amy Murray, who at that time left City 1637 01:36:28.359 --> 01:36:32.800 Council and then started working for President Trump, meaning working 1638 01:36:32.880 --> 01:36:35.960 for the administration. But he made her a pariah for 1639 01:36:36.079 --> 01:36:39.039 doing that. Now here where he's his life is on 1640 01:36:39.079 --> 01:36:43.159 the line. He pursues and successfully gets a pardon by 1641 01:36:43.239 --> 01:36:47.600 hiring one of Trump's lawyers, and ultimately successfully lobby and 1642 01:36:47.640 --> 01:36:51.520 getting a pardon from the White House from President Trump. 1643 01:36:51.560 --> 01:36:56.000 As a Democrat, the hypocrisy of it all politically catches 1644 01:36:56.079 --> 01:36:58.439 my eye in a very, very big way. So at 1645 01:36:58.479 --> 01:37:00.279 the end of the day, I believe that you sit 1646 01:37:00.359 --> 01:37:02.960 and feel will run for office again. I don't know 1647 01:37:03.000 --> 01:37:05.359 when he'll run, where he'll want, what he'll run for, 1648 01:37:05.640 --> 01:37:07.880 but I believe he will. He's gotten a full parton 1649 01:37:08.159 --> 01:37:10.600 which gives him a full green light to put his 1650 01:37:10.720 --> 01:37:12.840 name on the ballot and run for office. But I 1651 01:37:12.840 --> 01:37:15.199 would tell you that when he runs, particularly in a 1652 01:37:15.279 --> 01:37:17.560 head to hit race, I'm not talking about a field 1653 01:37:17.640 --> 01:37:20.760 race like city council a head to hit race, those 1654 01:37:20.920 --> 01:37:25.920 audio tapes of him discussing taking money directly for votes 1655 01:37:26.199 --> 01:37:28.960 will be on your TV screen every single day, and 1656 01:37:29.159 --> 01:37:31.000 I think it's going to be very difficult for him 1657 01:37:31.000 --> 01:37:33.920 to get reelected under that kind of fire. And the 1658 01:37:34.119 --> 01:37:37.159 FBI right now, I just want to salute them for 1659 01:37:37.279 --> 01:37:41.079 doing a very good job of investigating City Hall and 1660 01:37:41.279 --> 01:37:42.399 rooting out corruption. 1661 01:37:43.479 --> 01:37:45.520 All right. I don't know if he's going to run 1662 01:37:45.560 --> 01:37:47.279 for anything else. I think he probably wants to keep 1663 01:37:47.319 --> 01:37:49.319 his head down, wants to find a job someplace in 1664 01:37:49.399 --> 01:37:53.800 the one of his well connected private sector friends businesses, 1665 01:37:53.960 --> 01:37:56.720 and avoid exactly what you're talking about, because you're right 1666 01:37:56.760 --> 01:38:00.720 in a head to head race. He was convicted. Christopher convicted. 1667 01:38:00.800 --> 01:38:03.640 Just because he got a pardon later doesn't negate the 1668 01:38:03.680 --> 01:38:06.520 reality that he was convicted by a jury of his peers. 1669 01:38:07.119 --> 01:38:08.600 We'll continue with Christopher seton and. 1670 01:38:08.560 --> 01:38:11.039 Let me and when we come back, I just want 1671 01:38:11.079 --> 01:38:14.880 to lift up or talk about Jeffrey Pastor and Tamya Dennard. 1672 01:38:15.239 --> 01:38:18.359 These are two African Americans that I served with who 1673 01:38:18.399 --> 01:38:21.840 were charged with similar charges and aren't parton went to 1674 01:38:22.000 --> 01:38:26.359 jail and served their sentence. That's also incredibly interesting from 1675 01:38:26.399 --> 01:38:30.000 the Democratic Party's position, very interesting. 1676 01:38:30.279 --> 01:38:36.760 Maybe maybe it's because they didn't hire Jones. Day seven, 1677 01:38:37.279 --> 01:38:39.560 if if I have kr CD talk Station Money, Money's 1678 01:38:39.560 --> 01:38:42.279 Brian Chains up on the top of the r NWS speaking 1679 01:38:42.279 --> 01:38:44.960 of financial planners. Christopher Smith have been financial planning edition 1680 01:38:45.039 --> 01:38:46.840 being the former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati. 1681 01:38:47.159 --> 01:38:49.640 You were going to talk about jeff Pastor and Tamia Denard. 1682 01:38:49.720 --> 01:38:54.840 Christopher, Yeah, I guess we have two African Americans, one Republican, 1683 01:38:54.880 --> 01:38:58.079 which is Jeffrey Pastor or a Democrat to myidnar both 1684 01:38:58.159 --> 01:38:59.359 of them were my colleagues. 1685 01:38:59.439 --> 01:39:00.279 Like PG. 1686 01:39:00.399 --> 01:39:06.079 Sittinfill. They both were arrested and convicted. Tomisnard just you know, 1687 01:39:06.159 --> 01:39:09.720 said I'm guilty, went to jail, served her time, came 1688 01:39:09.760 --> 01:39:12.880 back out, has moved on with her life. But it's 1689 01:39:12.960 --> 01:39:17.479 just so intriguing for me because of the nuances of 1690 01:39:17.520 --> 01:39:21.439 how the Democratic Party with PG. Sittenville, because he was 1691 01:39:21.479 --> 01:39:23.520 their poster child, he was their guy, he was the 1692 01:39:23.560 --> 01:39:25.479 guy that was going to be the mayor, was going 1693 01:39:25.520 --> 01:39:29.000 to be the governor. He's out saying using language like 1694 01:39:29.079 --> 01:39:32.760 I'm man spleening you, or you're a racist like he 1695 01:39:32.800 --> 01:39:36.159 did Children's Hospital for the expansion, but he would do 1696 01:39:36.199 --> 01:39:38.680 that to a lot of different people. My point is 1697 01:39:38.680 --> 01:39:41.479 that he used all of his privilege to get off 1698 01:39:41.520 --> 01:39:45.359 the hook using loose language. But Jeffrey Pastor and Tamaya, 1699 01:39:45.439 --> 01:39:48.000 who do not have the connections, they do not have 1700 01:39:48.039 --> 01:39:52.000 the trust fun they don't have Trump's warrior on retainer 1701 01:39:52.239 --> 01:39:55.520 to lobby the White House. They're going to serve their 1702 01:39:55.560 --> 01:40:00.039 complete time and most likely remain a convicted felon and 1703 01:40:00.119 --> 01:40:02.680 there is just something that rubs me wrong about it. 1704 01:40:02.840 --> 01:40:05.800 And to listen to the mainstream media try to parse 1705 01:40:06.159 --> 01:40:10.439 that Jeffrey Pastor and Tamaya are some way different than 1706 01:40:10.479 --> 01:40:14.560 what PG. Sittenfeld did is absolutely insane to me. Meaning 1707 01:40:14.560 --> 01:40:17.439 we have three people and the only difference I see 1708 01:40:17.640 --> 01:40:20.840 is a white guy who's privileged with money, who's a Democrat, 1709 01:40:21.079 --> 01:40:24.560 who sits back and uses African Americans, and when it 1710 01:40:24.640 --> 01:40:27.960 was for his benefit, he got off the hook and 1711 01:40:28.079 --> 01:40:32.119 left Jeffrey Pastor and Tomya Donnard to their own demand. 1712 01:40:32.600 --> 01:40:35.439 And African Americans should be looking at this case through 1713 01:40:35.520 --> 01:40:38.439 that lens. It is not Republicans who did it. Is 1714 01:40:38.479 --> 01:40:42.000 this Democrat who went to the Republican meaning the person 1715 01:40:42.079 --> 01:40:45.199 that they say is their greatest pariah, which is President 1716 01:40:45.279 --> 01:40:48.640 Donald Trump. He went there and kissed his ring to 1717 01:40:48.800 --> 01:40:52.520 get his butt off the hook, leaving Tamaya Donard and 1718 01:40:52.640 --> 01:40:56.600 leaving Jeffrey Pastor in prison with a felony where they 1719 01:40:56.640 --> 01:40:59.239 can't ever run for office ever again. And I want 1720 01:40:59.239 --> 01:41:03.399 to make sure that everybody understands it. So when Democrats 1721 01:41:03.399 --> 01:41:05.000 are coming to you saying, oh, I'm just gonna look 1722 01:41:05.039 --> 01:41:07.359 past it, and I'm going to vote for him anyway. 1723 01:41:07.720 --> 01:41:11.039 This is why so many African Americans are leaving the 1724 01:41:11.079 --> 01:41:14.000 Democratic Party because they're saying the Democratic Party left me, 1725 01:41:14.720 --> 01:41:17.159 like they're not saying I left the Democratic Party, saying 1726 01:41:17.199 --> 01:41:20.439 the Democratic Party left me. And why so many African 1727 01:41:20.439 --> 01:41:23.319 American men went out and voted for Donald Trump in 1728 01:41:23.359 --> 01:41:26.760 the last election because they see crap like this. You 1729 01:41:26.840 --> 01:41:30.840 see a privileged white guy with millions of dollars who 1730 01:41:31.039 --> 01:41:35.359 hires a lawyer from Trump's air from his from his 1731 01:41:35.960 --> 01:41:40.199 arena lobby. Successfully, the White House gets off and leaves 1732 01:41:40.239 --> 01:41:43.000 the two African Americans out there on their own. There's 1733 01:41:43.119 --> 01:41:46.399 nothing he's saying about Somaya and nothing he's saying about 1734 01:41:46.479 --> 01:41:50.079 Jeffrey Pass I'm talking about the PG sittingfield case. They 1735 01:41:50.319 --> 01:41:53.119 just left them out there, Brian Thomas. And this is 1736 01:41:53.159 --> 01:41:55.720 the kind of stuff as an African American man, right 1737 01:41:55.760 --> 01:41:59.279 who runs as an independent, that really burns me because 1738 01:41:59.319 --> 01:42:02.199 so many African America's outre said I'm voting Democrat, I'm 1739 01:42:02.199 --> 01:42:04.560 just voting for them, I'm just voting blindly. It doesn't matter, 1740 01:42:04.800 --> 01:42:06.920 And I go, wow, look at what this guy just 1741 01:42:06.960 --> 01:42:09.840 successfully did. He got off the hook and left his 1742 01:42:09.920 --> 01:42:12.840 own colleagues who are both African American who, by the way, 1743 01:42:12.920 --> 01:42:17.800 Tamia Dennard was his campaign manager, was his chief of staff, 1744 01:42:18.119 --> 01:42:21.319 worked very closely with PG SimPEL. This is about somebody 1745 01:42:21.319 --> 01:42:24.319 that he doesn't know. I want to understand why he 1746 01:42:24.399 --> 01:42:26.880 didn't lobby to get them off the hook first. It's 1747 01:42:26.920 --> 01:42:30.079 because he focused on himself. That's it. 1748 01:42:30.119 --> 01:42:33.359 Doesn't it illustrate just the absurdity of the pardon process. 1749 01:42:34.279 --> 01:42:37.319 I mean, if you can buy a pardon, which is 1750 01:42:37.399 --> 01:42:39.720 kind of what you're suggesting. And I know Steve Gooden 1751 01:42:39.840 --> 01:42:42.800 was on the program last week talking exactly about this, 1752 01:42:43.439 --> 01:42:46.199 that he hired jones Day, that ec law firm, very 1753 01:42:46.319 --> 01:42:49.319 very well connected. That's how you get the president's ear. 1754 01:42:49.760 --> 01:42:52.640 I don't think Donald Trump knew who PG Sittenfeld was 1755 01:42:52.760 --> 01:42:56.000 before jones Day reached out to the administration and started 1756 01:42:56.000 --> 01:42:58.520 pressing him for a pardon. You know what I mean. 1757 01:42:58.600 --> 01:43:01.760 It's just like, wait a second, money and the Democrats 1758 01:43:01.760 --> 01:43:05.000 are running around screaming about oligarchs. Well, you know, PG 1759 01:43:05.159 --> 01:43:07.760 may not be an oligarch, but he's sure one well 1760 01:43:07.840 --> 01:43:12.520 connected presumably very wealthy guy uh or at least has 1761 01:43:12.560 --> 01:43:15.399 access to money. Because jones Day doesn't call it come 1762 01:43:15.439 --> 01:43:19.640 at an inexpensive hourly rate. Man, you're talking four figures 1763 01:43:19.680 --> 01:43:22.359 an hour at a at a DC law firm like 1764 01:43:22.399 --> 01:43:23.439 that of that caliber. 1765 01:43:24.119 --> 01:43:26.680 So uh, And I'm just saying own it. I'm not 1766 01:43:26.760 --> 01:43:30.560 even I want people to be successful, right, I'm not 1767 01:43:32.560 --> 01:43:34.920 and I'm not and not and I'm not suggesting that 1768 01:43:34.960 --> 01:43:39.680 you are, Brian Thomas. I'm saying PG. Sittenfield didn't own it. 1769 01:43:40.039 --> 01:43:42.760 He attempted to send the message to the African American 1770 01:43:42.800 --> 01:43:45.760 community with these kind of worn shoes is kind of 1771 01:43:45.760 --> 01:43:48.479 the way. He kind of really didn't put on nice 1772 01:43:48.520 --> 01:43:51.720 suits and draw this American made kind of escort car 1773 01:43:52.079 --> 01:43:56.399 that he wasn't this multi multi multi millionaire well connected, 1774 01:43:56.439 --> 01:44:01.000 that he would hire somebody from the Trump team in 1775 01:44:01.119 --> 01:44:03.760 order to lobby for him successfully to get off the hook. 1776 01:44:03.920 --> 01:44:05.880 And I'm saying they're not going to do that for 1777 01:44:05.960 --> 01:44:09.239 Tomy Dinar. They're not going to do that for Jeffrey Pastor. 1778 01:44:09.479 --> 01:44:12.680 And all I'm suggesting is to the Democratic Party, I 1779 01:44:12.840 --> 01:44:15.640 see you, I know what you do, I know how 1780 01:44:15.720 --> 01:44:19.319 you roll. And guess what, Jeffrey Passer, who's a Republican 1781 01:44:19.680 --> 01:44:22.680 and to my dinar, will most likely be listed as 1782 01:44:22.720 --> 01:44:25.520 felon for the rest of their life, while PG sitt 1783 01:44:25.520 --> 01:44:29.399 and Field goes free. Well, that is absolutely insane to me. 1784 01:44:30.039 --> 01:44:32.720 I still think you can call theocracy of it, and 1785 01:44:33.199 --> 01:44:34.880 I still think you can call pgs sit and Felt 1786 01:44:34.880 --> 01:44:38.039 a felon, a felon who was pardoned. It didn't he's 1787 01:44:38.640 --> 01:44:41.479 his conviction hasn't been expunged. I don't believe you know, 1788 01:44:41.680 --> 01:44:45.439 when you expunge something, it's removed. It never existed, It 1789 01:44:45.520 --> 01:44:48.920 isn't there. But a pardon is you were convicted, you 1790 01:44:48.960 --> 01:44:51.359 are in prison, or you are serving your time. I 1791 01:44:51.359 --> 01:44:53.960 am going to, you know, pardon you. We're going to 1792 01:44:54.039 --> 01:44:57.239 pretend like it didn't happen. But it did. That's why 1793 01:44:57.279 --> 01:44:59.560 you pointed out during any campaign, ads are going to 1794 01:44:59.600 --> 01:45:02.319 be hearing the language of PG Sittenfeld asking for money 1795 01:45:02.319 --> 01:45:05.399 in return for political favors. You can't unwring that bell. 1796 01:45:06.560 --> 01:45:09.079 But my brother, I agree with you about that. But 1797 01:45:09.199 --> 01:45:12.880 when PG Sittenfeld is applying for jobs, right, let's say 1798 01:45:12.880 --> 01:45:15.319 he decides to move to Florida and reset, it's like 1799 01:45:15.439 --> 01:45:18.720 he doesn't have to disclose that somebody might research it 1800 01:45:18.760 --> 01:45:23.319 and find it. But everywhere Jeffrey Passer goes everywhere to 1801 01:45:23.399 --> 01:45:26.279 my dinar, goes when they're applying for jobs, they're gonna 1802 01:45:26.359 --> 01:45:28.880 have to disclose it. And I'm saying to you, this 1803 01:45:29.039 --> 01:45:31.560 is why when I was on council, right, we had 1804 01:45:31.680 --> 01:45:35.000 ten thousand people the Democrats put forth when I was 1805 01:45:35.000 --> 01:45:38.880 a member of Council this draconian law around low amounts 1806 01:45:38.880 --> 01:45:43.159 of marijuana. That had ten thousand people with these low 1807 01:45:43.199 --> 01:45:47.359 amount convictions of marijuana. I'm talking about small amounts. I'm 1808 01:45:47.399 --> 01:45:50.000 not talking about they had marijuana in a gun, they 1809 01:45:50.000 --> 01:45:53.720 had marijuana and rob somebody. These were people that just 1810 01:45:53.880 --> 01:45:57.840 had very low amounts of marijuana. Ten thousand of them 1811 01:45:58.000 --> 01:46:00.800 who couldn't get a job at Subway, couldn't go get 1812 01:46:00.840 --> 01:46:03.479 a job at FedEx, can't get a job at Amazon 1813 01:46:03.760 --> 01:46:07.199 because they have these low level convictions. Why in the 1814 01:46:07.199 --> 01:46:09.920 world does PG sitting fell get off with a pardon 1815 01:46:10.319 --> 01:46:13.039 and those low convictions those people that are out there 1816 01:46:13.079 --> 01:46:16.680 every day working trying to get a job, those convictions 1817 01:46:16.760 --> 01:46:20.039 continue to stay and they have to continue to disclose 1818 01:46:20.079 --> 01:46:23.560 it to those employers. I'm saying, that's the hypocrisy for me, 1819 01:46:23.640 --> 01:46:26.359 Brian comes it is and why I'm highlighting it. I'm 1820 01:46:26.439 --> 01:46:29.560 highlighting it to your listening audience. This is the stuff 1821 01:46:29.680 --> 01:46:32.479 where I see Democrats doing it and they're so quiet 1822 01:46:32.479 --> 01:46:35.800 about it. It's not what politicians say, it's what they 1823 01:46:35.880 --> 01:46:36.439 don't say. 1824 01:46:36.760 --> 01:46:39.760 Well, and going back to whether or not PG actually 1825 01:46:39.840 --> 01:46:42.880 runs for another office or pursue something in the private sector, 1826 01:46:43.159 --> 01:46:45.359 we go back to the fact that he is very, 1827 01:46:45.720 --> 01:46:49.199 very well connected. His family is a family of very 1828 01:46:50.079 --> 01:46:52.960 well comfortable means, from what I know about them or 1829 01:46:52.960 --> 01:46:55.560 what I heard about them, and I suspect that through 1830 01:46:55.600 --> 01:46:58.479 his connections, he will land a very comfortable job in 1831 01:46:58.520 --> 01:47:01.920 a firm or an org organization that doesn't care a 1832 01:47:01.960 --> 01:47:04.600 wit that he was convicted. Our campaign brothers, you know 1833 01:47:04.680 --> 01:47:05.319 what I'm saying. 1834 01:47:05.600 --> 01:47:07.520 I totally agree with you. 1835 01:47:07.560 --> 01:47:07.840 Brother. 1836 01:47:08.079 --> 01:47:10.680 Now, look, I know you're gonna cut me off, and 1837 01:47:10.720 --> 01:47:12.560 I just want to say one thing before we go. 1838 01:47:13.000 --> 01:47:15.800 The weather is changing, Brian Thomas. It's going to be 1839 01:47:15.800 --> 01:47:19.720 a hot summer. We already had a police involved shooting 1840 01:47:20.079 --> 01:47:24.159 between an officer and a young African American who stole 1841 01:47:24.199 --> 01:47:27.960 a car, had a gun and was shot. Look, we've 1842 01:47:28.039 --> 01:47:32.039 got to lift up our law enforcement all across the country, 1843 01:47:32.520 --> 01:47:36.479 right because we understand that these kids now are out 1844 01:47:36.479 --> 01:47:41.760 of school right many of them are unsupervised, and the 1845 01:47:41.800 --> 01:47:45.119 reality of it is when they're engaging our officers. Our 1846 01:47:45.199 --> 01:47:50.399 officers are not dads, they're not uncles, right, They're not 1847 01:47:50.640 --> 01:47:53.960 somebody's aunt. They're out there trying to do their job. 1848 01:47:54.079 --> 01:47:58.640 It's incredibly dangerous. We should be enforcing the curfew. We 1849 01:47:58.640 --> 01:48:02.399 should be holding these young people and their parents accountable 1850 01:48:02.439 --> 01:48:06.039 this summer, right, which I support. We need a mayor 1851 01:48:06.079 --> 01:48:09.560 with a voice that will lend his voice to support 1852 01:48:09.640 --> 01:48:14.079 our law enforcement as they hold these young people accountable. 1853 01:48:14.319 --> 01:48:16.680 As this weather starts to warm up, so as we 1854 01:48:16.720 --> 01:48:20.720 go through Juneteenth, or we go through the Black Family Reunion, 1855 01:48:21.079 --> 01:48:25.720 or we go through the July fourth weekend, I'm letting 1856 01:48:25.800 --> 01:48:29.479 everybody know, listen, there's going to be a hot summer. 1857 01:48:30.000 --> 01:48:32.279 We're going to have problems out here. And I don't 1858 01:48:32.319 --> 01:48:35.680 want the Monday morning quarterbacking. When you've got a young person, 1859 01:48:35.720 --> 01:48:38.399 whether they're right or black or Latino, with a gun 1860 01:48:38.960 --> 01:48:41.960 pointing at one of our Cincinnati police officers are law 1861 01:48:42.079 --> 01:48:46.279 enforcement person anywhere in the country, expect that officer to 1862 01:48:46.399 --> 01:48:49.640 return fire. That's what they're trained to do. They get 1863 01:48:49.680 --> 01:48:52.319 to go home to their families. Brian Thomas and I 1864 01:48:52.439 --> 01:48:54.600 just want to highlight that and when we come back 1865 01:48:54.640 --> 01:48:57.359 next week. I'm going to talk about this Dawn school 1866 01:48:57.640 --> 01:49:03.039 that closed down, a charter school run by African Americans. 1867 01:49:03.079 --> 01:49:06.319 You probably probably hasn't even hit your radar, but it's 1868 01:49:06.439 --> 01:49:10.560 something that's worthy of discussion because so many young people 1869 01:49:10.600 --> 01:49:11.680 were impacted by it. 1870 01:49:12.239 --> 01:49:13.239 Always loved talking. 1871 01:49:13.359 --> 01:49:14.880 Allowing me to have my brother. 1872 01:49:15.319 --> 01:49:16.840 I appreciate it. I love your passion. 1873 01:49:16.880 --> 01:49:17.000 Man. 1874 01:49:17.039 --> 01:49:19.439 We'll talk again next Monday. Have a great week with product. 1875 01:49:19.560 --> 01:49:19.880 Take care. 1876 01:49:19.920 --> 01:49:20.960 What thing makes you say? 1877 01:49:21.199 --> 01:49:24.880 What social Security accounts belonging to people listed over one 1878 01:49:25.000 --> 01:49:26.479 hundred and twenty years old. 1879 01:49:26.720 --> 01:49:33.600 Fifty five krc D talk station in a six fifty 1880 01:49:33.600 --> 01:49:39.319 five KRCD talk station EVY Monday, every Mondey. At this time, 1881 01:49:39.359 --> 01:49:41.840 we talked to Brian James Small with Financial about things 1882 01:49:41.880 --> 01:49:44.720 that relate to our long term investments and items that 1883 01:49:44.720 --> 01:49:46.520 are in the news that might relate to our long 1884 01:49:46.600 --> 01:49:48.840 term investments, and whether or not we might consider adjusting 1885 01:49:48.840 --> 01:49:52.359 our investment strategy based upon current topics in the news. 1886 01:49:52.399 --> 01:49:55.720 I'm gonna jump ahead and say probably not, but let's 1887 01:49:55.760 --> 01:49:57.680 find out. Thanks to all with Financial for loading you 1888 01:49:57.680 --> 01:49:59.439 out again. Brian James, goold you have you back on 1889 01:49:59.439 --> 01:50:00.199 the program. 1890 01:50:00.239 --> 01:50:02.359 Good morning, Miss Thomas hope you had a good weekend 1891 01:50:02.359 --> 01:50:02.720 as well. 1892 01:50:02.760 --> 01:50:06.840 Wonderful weekends My wife's birthday celebrated that, and also got 1893 01:50:06.840 --> 01:50:09.079 to spend time with my daughter and her fiance out 1894 01:50:09.079 --> 01:50:12.520 at the farm at a comfortable, meditative day watching the 1895 01:50:12.640 --> 01:50:14.439 chickens roam around the backyard. 1896 01:50:15.079 --> 01:50:16.640 That sounds absolutely heavenless. 1897 01:50:16.760 --> 01:50:19.680 It was great. Their place is so cute and they've 1898 01:50:19.680 --> 01:50:21.359 done so much with it. I brought I brought up 1899 01:50:21.399 --> 01:50:23.159 this morning I started the show off. I'm so proud 1900 01:50:23.159 --> 01:50:25.079 of them and what they've been able to accomplish at 1901 01:50:25.079 --> 01:50:28.439 that place. They work, They work hard on making that 1902 01:50:28.520 --> 01:50:32.079 place just right. But it's so quiet. And I also 1903 01:50:32.199 --> 01:50:34.520 got to bring home a dozen eggs at no cost 1904 01:50:34.600 --> 01:50:37.399 to me because they've got chickens that are putting out 1905 01:50:37.560 --> 01:50:39.119 well quote unquote free AIGs. 1906 01:50:39.199 --> 01:50:42.159 I know, and they could be gouging you for inflationary 1907 01:50:42.199 --> 01:50:42.920 prices here. 1908 01:50:42.800 --> 01:50:43.640 Too, they could. 1909 01:50:43.960 --> 01:50:44.199 I know. 1910 01:50:44.359 --> 01:50:46.399 Eggs is kind of on the short list because we're 1911 01:50:46.399 --> 01:50:48.079 all still kind of really with the price of eggs. 1912 01:50:48.079 --> 01:50:52.439 But let's start with Dow futures dropping on more tariff issues. 1913 01:50:52.960 --> 01:50:56.159 I'm looking at the Wall Street journalists right now. Dowdown's 1914 01:50:56.319 --> 01:50:59.520 futures down point twenty six SMP down point thirty nine 1915 01:51:00.319 --> 01:51:03.640 and NASDAC down point five to five, so down but 1916 01:51:03.800 --> 01:51:07.399 not multiple points down. So it might be a bad day, 1917 01:51:07.439 --> 01:51:09.279 but it's not going to be a horrific bloodbath. He 1918 01:51:09.359 --> 01:51:10.760 kind of day, at least as of right now. 1919 01:51:11.000 --> 01:51:13.279 Yeah, I mean that the headlines we have headlines every 1920 01:51:13.279 --> 01:51:17.239 single day most days nowadays, are boring, and this I 1921 01:51:17.239 --> 01:51:19.239 don't know if I don't know what qualifies as boring. 1922 01:51:19.239 --> 01:51:21.920 We've elevated the word boring. This is a quiet day 1923 01:51:21.960 --> 01:51:24.680 amid a hurricane, if that makes any sense. So, but anyway, 1924 01:51:24.960 --> 01:51:27.680 where the market reaction is coming from. President Trump floated 1925 01:51:27.720 --> 01:51:30.800 an idea of a sixty percent teariff on all Chinese 1926 01:51:30.880 --> 01:51:34.119 imports and deeming that a necessary step to protect American 1927 01:51:34.159 --> 01:51:37.359 industry quote unquote. So this kind of revives trade war 1928 01:51:37.399 --> 01:51:40.880 anxieties that's reminiscent of his first term despite all this 1929 01:51:40.960 --> 01:51:45.159 global economic interdependence, and so that is driving futures down 1930 01:51:45.199 --> 01:51:45.680 right now. 1931 01:51:46.319 --> 01:51:47.600 We'll see if we stick. 1932 01:51:47.359 --> 01:51:50.800 To it right well, and we all know how Trump is, 1933 01:51:50.800 --> 01:51:53.000 you know, quote unquote art of the deal or whatever. 1934 01:51:53.439 --> 01:51:55.520 They're sitting down with the Chinese trying to hammer out 1935 01:51:55.560 --> 01:51:58.279 some sort of you know negotiated settlement or resolution of 1936 01:51:58.319 --> 01:52:01.079 the tariffs and saying going to raise him to sixty 1937 01:52:01.079 --> 01:52:03.239 percent what they wore one hundred and twenty and it 1938 01:52:03.319 --> 01:52:05.960 went down to nothing and suspended it for thirty days 1939 01:52:06.039 --> 01:52:08.319 or ninety days or whatever. I mean, He's all over 1940 01:52:08.359 --> 01:52:10.239 the board on this, So god knows if he's using 1941 01:52:10.239 --> 01:52:15.720 this just as sort of a and negotiating table threat, 1942 01:52:16.119 --> 01:52:18.239 and then as the other component is these trumps, these 1943 01:52:18.239 --> 01:52:21.439 tariffs are being challenged in court as beyond the executive 1944 01:52:21.439 --> 01:52:23.920 branch's authority, and it could be that the court ultimately 1945 01:52:23.960 --> 01:52:26.720 concludes that no, this is Congress and the power of 1946 01:52:26.720 --> 01:52:29.960 the purse. There isn't a true emergency that would even 1947 01:52:30.000 --> 01:52:31.960 authorize them to do this. So it's in a state 1948 01:52:32.000 --> 01:52:32.520 of flux. 1949 01:52:33.159 --> 01:52:36.000 Yeah, and even the headline Trump floats the idea of 1950 01:52:36.000 --> 01:52:38.800 a sixty percent tariff, Well, he has actually put tariffs 1951 01:52:38.840 --> 01:52:41.359 in place and pulled them back, so floating the idea 1952 01:52:41.479 --> 01:52:43.239 is not going to make me sweat a whole lot. 1953 01:52:43.479 --> 01:52:46.720 We've also got some tensions resurfacing between the US and China. 1954 01:52:46.960 --> 01:52:49.319 A ninety day tariff pause that was agreed to in 1955 01:52:49.359 --> 01:52:52.000 Geneva is at risk now as China is playing games 1956 01:52:52.039 --> 01:52:54.520 again with the rare Earth mineral exports, and to be fair, 1957 01:52:54.560 --> 01:52:55.279 we play games too. 1958 01:52:55.319 --> 01:52:58.119 The whole thing is a great, big game, right. So, yeah, 1959 01:52:58.399 --> 01:52:58.960 So there's just. 1960 01:52:58.920 --> 01:53:01.039 A lot of things, but none of these are concrete 1961 01:53:01.079 --> 01:53:04.119 facts yet. So that's relevant to why the market's doing 1962 01:53:04.119 --> 01:53:07.359 what it's doing this morning. There's more slightly negative than 1963 01:53:07.359 --> 01:53:08.800 slightly good out there right now. 1964 01:53:08.880 --> 01:53:11.319 Okay, And you're the one that always likes to remind 1965 01:53:11.359 --> 01:53:17.159 everybody that the markets typically factor in to their actions 1966 01:53:17.239 --> 01:53:21.880 the sale price or the activity on the stock market 1967 01:53:22.239 --> 01:53:26.199 in advance of something actually kicking in. So is that 1968 01:53:26.279 --> 01:53:28.079 an element of what's going on right now? 1969 01:53:28.359 --> 01:53:30.920 Absolutely, that's always an element that happens on the good 1970 01:53:30.920 --> 01:53:33.680 side and the bad side. The market likes to anticipate. 1971 01:53:33.920 --> 01:53:35.880 And if you look at any line graph of the 1972 01:53:35.920 --> 01:53:38.079 S and P five hundred, or frankly, any stock market 1973 01:53:38.119 --> 01:53:40.399 index out there, you'll see a whole bunch of peaks 1974 01:53:40.399 --> 01:53:42.399 and valleys. Not just the big peaks and valleys that 1975 01:53:42.720 --> 01:53:44.520 catch our eye that we always pay attention to, but 1976 01:53:44.600 --> 01:53:46.560 I'm talking about the little week to week, day to 1977 01:53:46.640 --> 01:53:49.479 day ones that's simply the market trying to guess what's 1978 01:53:49.520 --> 01:53:50.079 coming next. 1979 01:53:50.159 --> 01:53:52.359 Is this good news? Is this bad news, and it's. 1980 01:53:52.239 --> 01:53:54.359 Wrong ninety percent of the time, and it's not a 1981 01:53:54.439 --> 01:53:57.479 very big move either way, but eventually it will be right. 1982 01:53:57.560 --> 01:53:59.399 We simply won't know when it has hit. 1983 01:54:00.279 --> 01:54:00.439 Now. 1984 01:54:00.520 --> 01:54:04.600 Is this does the individual little man who's day trading 1985 01:54:04.640 --> 01:54:08.199 and the collective all put together a faction that are 1986 01:54:08.239 --> 01:54:09.840 doing something like that. Do they really have much of 1987 01:54:09.880 --> 01:54:12.479 an impact on these market fluctuations or is this all 1988 01:54:12.920 --> 01:54:15.319 institutional sized traders that have the impact. 1989 01:54:15.600 --> 01:54:18.399 They certainly have an impact in the very short term 1990 01:54:18.439 --> 01:54:20.359 swings the day to day stuff right now. So in 1991 01:54:20.359 --> 01:54:22.319 other words, we're you and I are looking at futures. 1992 01:54:22.359 --> 01:54:24.680 Futures are what the market thinks the market is going 1993 01:54:24.720 --> 01:54:27.479 to do today, and there are people moving their money 1994 01:54:27.479 --> 01:54:29.199 around based on that. But eventually that's going to be 1995 01:54:29.279 --> 01:54:31.399 known fact here in about an hour and twenty minutes 1996 01:54:31.399 --> 01:54:32.239 when the market opens. 1997 01:54:32.880 --> 01:54:33.800 In the long run, I. 1998 01:54:33.800 --> 01:54:36.199 Don't think they have a great huge impact, but in 1999 01:54:36.239 --> 01:54:38.840 the short run they absolutely drive swings. They can cause 2000 01:54:38.880 --> 01:54:41.039 stampedes in one direction or the other. But at the 2001 01:54:41.119 --> 01:54:42.960 end of the day, if you are a long term investor, 2002 01:54:43.000 --> 01:54:45.600 all that really matters is what are the prospects for 2003 01:54:45.680 --> 01:54:49.119 a publicly traded company to make to make money by 2004 01:54:49.159 --> 01:54:51.920 selling its products. That's all that really matters. The short 2005 01:54:52.000 --> 01:54:54.359 term stuff is nothing more than the wind changing direction 2006 01:54:54.439 --> 01:54:55.159 here and there. 2007 01:54:55.359 --> 01:54:55.800 All right. 2008 01:54:55.880 --> 01:54:58.199 And one of the things that Donald Trump just recently 2009 01:54:58.199 --> 01:55:00.680 announced he was doubling the steel and a loone them tariffs. 2010 01:55:01.279 --> 01:55:02.960 I seem to think that this has a lot with 2011 01:55:03.079 --> 01:55:07.920 the Nippon Steel US Steel merger. He promised that, you know, 2012 01:55:07.960 --> 01:55:10.000 the work going to the layoffs here, the United States 2013 01:55:10.079 --> 01:55:12.920 was going to be controlling the United States steel output 2014 01:55:12.960 --> 01:55:15.279 and we're bouncing back. You know, well, this is going 2015 01:55:15.319 --> 01:55:18.800 to be a renaissance for US steel production. Is that 2016 01:55:19.119 --> 01:55:21.840 maybe the sole reason for it? So, I mean, because 2017 01:55:22.079 --> 01:55:24.239 you know, if you wait long enough and these these 2018 01:55:24.279 --> 01:55:27.399 do have an impact, the impact would likely inure to 2019 01:55:27.520 --> 01:55:31.239 US steel manufacturers benefit. But that takes time. It's like 2020 01:55:31.279 --> 01:55:33.319 trying to get others to invest in the United States 2021 01:55:33.359 --> 01:55:35.880 and moving away from China. You know, you can say 2022 01:55:35.920 --> 01:55:38.359 it and they might make announcements like yeah, we're going 2023 01:55:38.399 --> 01:55:40.399 to invest fifty billion dollars in a new factory, but 2024 01:55:40.439 --> 01:55:42.079 the new factory is going to be built for a while. 2025 01:55:42.119 --> 01:55:43.800 It's going to take a long time for those jobs 2026 01:55:43.840 --> 01:55:44.359 to hit home. 2027 01:55:44.960 --> 01:55:47.039 Yeah, that's right, And so we can. There's not a 2028 01:55:47.119 --> 01:55:50.079 ton of history to rely on here. A lot of 2029 01:55:50.119 --> 01:55:52.960 the history in this environment comes either from his first 2030 01:55:53.000 --> 01:55:56.079 term in which we imposed about three hundred and sixty 2031 01:55:56.079 --> 01:55:58.880 billion dollars worth of tariffs on Chinese goods and the China, 2032 01:55:58.920 --> 01:56:02.520 of course responded retalatorially, and that led to a bunch 2033 01:56:02.560 --> 01:56:05.319 of global market volatility, the supply chain issues we had, 2034 01:56:05.399 --> 01:56:07.479 and then there was a this is ancient history now, 2035 01:56:07.479 --> 01:56:09.920 but we had a Phase one deal in early twenty twenty. 2036 01:56:09.960 --> 01:56:12.600 Do you remember Phase one, Brian Thomas? I don't, because 2037 01:56:12.640 --> 01:56:14.800 there wasn't a Phase two, phase three. So I think 2038 01:56:14.840 --> 01:56:17.359 the point is that I don't know that we're in 2039 01:56:17.399 --> 01:56:19.079 a world anymore where we're gonna come up with a 2040 01:56:19.119 --> 01:56:22.199 quote unquote global trade deal and then the dust is 2041 01:56:22.239 --> 01:56:24.920 gonna settle on this. I think everybody's gonna be holding 2042 01:56:24.960 --> 01:56:28.479 their cards and deciding precisely which which individual cards to 2043 01:56:28.479 --> 01:56:32.000 play at precisely that moment, rather than agreeing that we 2044 01:56:32.079 --> 01:56:35.199 have an agreement and everybody just playing in the sandbox nicely. 2045 01:56:35.239 --> 01:56:36.960 I think where there's gonna be tweaks pretty much from 2046 01:56:37.000 --> 01:56:37.680 here on out. 2047 01:56:37.600 --> 01:56:39.760 Well in every country who hasn't like we had, we 2048 01:56:39.840 --> 01:56:42.239 negotiated a some out of a deal with the UK, 2049 01:56:43.119 --> 01:56:45.479 and that was you know, applauded. I guess good, we 2050 01:56:45.520 --> 01:56:49.640 figured it out. But all the other countries with whom 2051 01:56:49.640 --> 01:56:51.680 Donald Trumps said he's gonna be sitting down at the 2052 01:56:51.680 --> 01:56:56.840 table to talk with fine if the tariffs were within 2053 01:56:56.960 --> 01:56:59.399 his control. But every one of those countries can also 2054 01:56:59.520 --> 01:57:01.600 make you know, look at the observation I just made, 2055 01:57:01.600 --> 01:57:03.760 which is, you know, it's possible the Supreme Court and 2056 01:57:03.760 --> 01:57:07.039 say Donald Trump can't unilaterally do this or go the 2057 01:57:07.600 --> 01:57:10.039 tariffs won't be in place anymore, which would mean it 2058 01:57:10.039 --> 01:57:13.359 would require congressional action. And since you can't get Congress 2059 01:57:13.399 --> 01:57:17.319 to do anything, that means the likelihood of tariff's remaining 2060 01:57:17.359 --> 01:57:20.199 in effect become well, they disappear. 2061 01:57:20.920 --> 01:57:21.119 Yeah. 2062 01:57:21.800 --> 01:57:24.119 I think sometimes we do get a notion that here 2063 01:57:24.159 --> 01:57:27.399 in the United States, because of American exceptionalism, everybody has 2064 01:57:27.479 --> 01:57:29.239 to do what we say that they have to do. 2065 01:57:29.479 --> 01:57:31.880 They have to follow our lead because we are the 2066 01:57:31.920 --> 01:57:34.359 biggest economic stick in the you know, in the box. 2067 01:57:35.039 --> 01:57:38.520 But that's not really the case. Countries can agree to 2068 01:57:38.520 --> 01:57:40.840 work with each other outside the United States, of course. 2069 01:57:40.840 --> 01:57:43.199 I don't think that's that's too shattering or shattering to hear, 2070 01:57:43.279 --> 01:57:45.439 but at the sometime it's big reminder of it right 2071 01:57:45.479 --> 01:57:47.960 now because if the United States is going to take 2072 01:57:48.000 --> 01:57:50.640 the steps that it's going to, the options that another 2073 01:57:50.680 --> 01:57:53.000 country has is well, I can either play the game 2074 01:57:53.079 --> 01:57:54.760 and negotiated with the United States, or I may be 2075 01:57:54.840 --> 01:57:57.600 able to find some of these resources elsewhere. And you're 2076 01:57:57.600 --> 01:57:59.640 starting to see that among some of these smaller countries 2077 01:57:59.640 --> 01:58:02.319 that are finding themselves with China and or Russia. Yes, 2078 01:58:02.359 --> 01:58:04.279 you know, we would look at that and kind of go, whoa, 2079 01:58:04.279 --> 01:58:06.000 what are you thinking, But they're looking at it in 2080 01:58:06.039 --> 01:58:08.560 the very short term. What benefits me now, not ten 2081 01:58:08.640 --> 01:58:09.560 fifteen years from now. 2082 01:58:09.720 --> 01:58:13.159 Yeah, I agree completely. I mean the situation with the 2083 01:58:14.000 --> 01:58:17.000 Russia Ukraine War is kind of driven Russia and China 2084 01:58:17.039 --> 01:58:19.520 into each other's arms, along with North Korea and Iran. 2085 01:58:20.079 --> 01:58:23.319 Of course, the Israel situation too, you know, encourages ran 2086 01:58:23.399 --> 01:58:27.439 to work more, play more nicely with our foes China 2087 01:58:27.560 --> 01:58:33.920 and Russia. And we're just creating this this larger collective 2088 01:58:34.079 --> 01:58:36.239 of folks who we could quote, you know, I'm using 2089 01:58:36.239 --> 01:58:39.079 the quote fingers where quote signs on my fingers, you know, enemies, 2090 01:58:39.119 --> 01:58:41.720 we're driving them into a more consolidated relationship. 2091 01:58:42.359 --> 01:58:45.399 Yeah, and so some examples of us we're seeing So 2092 01:58:45.600 --> 01:58:49.239 Argentina and Brazil are starting to explore trading denominated in 2093 01:58:49.359 --> 01:58:51.640 the Yuan. I mean, these are places where you rule 2094 01:58:51.720 --> 01:58:53.760 the street if you show up with dollars in your hand. 2095 01:58:54.359 --> 01:58:56.520 But that is lessening a bit. They're more and more 2096 01:58:56.520 --> 01:59:00.399 willing to accept the Yuan. There, Africa and country are 2097 01:59:00.680 --> 01:59:05.119 installing Chinese built digital infrastructure, and so they're working around 2098 01:59:05.279 --> 01:59:07.439 the ciscos and the ibms of the world that in 2099 01:59:07.479 --> 01:59:09.159 the past have been kind of the backbone for all 2100 01:59:09.159 --> 01:59:11.399 this kind of stuff. So these are little signs that 2101 01:59:12.119 --> 01:59:15.239 the rest of the world is perceiving the United States 2102 01:59:15.239 --> 01:59:16.359 a bit differently than it has in the. 2103 01:59:16.359 --> 01:59:20.119 Past, less reliable. And I understand that we'll continue with 2104 01:59:20.159 --> 01:59:23.800 Brian James oil prices going up. I know my price 2105 01:59:23.840 --> 01:59:25.600 of the pump has been going down, and I've been 2106 01:59:25.640 --> 01:59:28.119 pleasantly surprised about that. We'll see if that may continue 2107 01:59:28.279 --> 01:59:31.079 or go the opposite direction. It's eight fifteen right now, 2108 01:59:31.079 --> 01:59:33.880 forty five kcity talk stations. Speaking of money matters, how 2109 01:59:33.920 --> 01:59:37.520 about saving thousands of dollars on your echo cardiogram mri 2110 01:59:37.680 --> 01:59:40.119 CT scan and ultracund that's exactly what you will do 2111 01:59:40.159 --> 01:59:42.159 if you don't go to the hospital imaging department, you 2112 01:59:42.159 --> 01:59:45.600 go to Affordable Imaging Services. Been there multiple times CT 2113 01:59:45.760 --> 01:59:51.479 scans MRI and saved G thousands with a CT scan. 2114 01:59:51.560 --> 01:59:53.359 I've had several there, and a CT scan in a 2115 01:59:53.399 --> 01:59:55.640 hospital run you about five grand, and you may get 2116 01:59:55.680 --> 01:59:58.760 a separate bill for the radiologist reported. Affordable imaging services 2117 01:59:58.760 --> 02:00:01.000 if you don't need a contrast, A CT scan is 2118 02:00:01.039 --> 02:00:04.520 only four point fifty that includes the radiologist reports with 2119 02:00:04.600 --> 02:00:08.399 a contrast six hundred. Got an MRI, everything turned out 2120 02:00:08.399 --> 02:00:10.199 good on that one thirty five hundred dollars at a 2121 02:00:10.239 --> 02:00:12.960 hospital four ninety five. I think it's one hundred and 2122 02:00:13.000 --> 02:00:15.199 fifty more if you have to get a contrast. I 2123 02:00:15.239 --> 02:00:17.920 did so. It was like six hundred and change compared 2124 02:00:17.960 --> 02:00:21.600 to thirty five hundred dollars. I mean, this is serious 2125 02:00:21.640 --> 02:00:23.560 money plus affordable image you can get you right in. 2126 02:00:23.640 --> 02:00:25.159 You may find out that your wait time at a 2127 02:00:25.199 --> 02:00:27.840 hospital can be weeks, if not a month.

I 2130 02:00:34.000 --> 02:00:36.000 got the MRI on a Tuesday. That's how quick they 2131 02:00:36.039 --> 02:00:39.399 were same equipment.

Brian James from 2166 02:02:36.840 --> 02:02:40.079 All with Financial in toluens a program between eight or five. 2167 02:02:40.119 --> 02:02:41.960 We get a few segments out of them and pivoting 2168 02:02:41.960 --> 02:02:45.680 over two oil prices. I thought oil prices were coming down. 2169 02:02:45.680 --> 02:02:47.199 I knew what price of the pump has come down, 2170 02:02:47.199 --> 02:02:49.840 Brian James, and I also saw, at least I thought 2171 02:02:49.880 --> 02:02:53.399 I saw an article about Saudi Arabia increasing oil production 2172 02:02:54.039 --> 02:02:55.800 in spite of the fact that the barrel of crude 2173 02:02:56.600 --> 02:03:00.239 was down, So what's the story on oil price is 2174 02:03:00.359 --> 02:03:01.560 claiming to be jumping here? 2175 02:03:01.840 --> 02:03:04.640 Yeah, so this is coming from OPEK plus, right, Remember 2176 02:03:04.680 --> 02:03:07.760 when everyone was just OPEK and they of OPEC plus. Well, 2177 02:03:08.479 --> 02:03:10.920 so OPEC plus just a little bit of background of 2178 02:03:10.960 --> 02:03:13.800 the OPEC plus is all of the countries out there 2179 02:03:13.800 --> 02:03:17.960 that aren't necessarily the oil producers themselves, but there are 2180 02:03:18.000 --> 02:03:20.439 supporters of it. The original OPEC Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, 2181 02:03:20.560 --> 02:03:25.239 Venezuela and the UAE. Now the plus means Russia, Mexico, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, 2182 02:03:25.319 --> 02:03:28.319 and Sudan and a handful of others. In other words, 2183 02:03:28.359 --> 02:03:31.960 the mousketeers for the United States are biggest fan club. Anyway, 2184 02:03:32.000 --> 02:03:34.640 OPEC plus agreed that they're gonna phase out. Now this 2185 02:03:34.720 --> 02:03:36.279 is a little bit labored the way the article phrases, 2186 02:03:36.359 --> 02:03:38.039 but they're going to phase out. There two point two 2187 02:03:38.079 --> 02:03:41.039 million barrels per day of voluntary cuts. That's a lot 2188 02:03:41.079 --> 02:03:42.920 of words to say they're going to start producing more 2189 02:03:42.960 --> 02:03:46.000 oil that started in October twenty four and they're gonna 2190 02:03:46.000 --> 02:03:48.760 be unwinding these cuts again, meaning producing more oil by 2191 02:03:48.800 --> 02:03:52.199 unwinding fully by June twenty fifth. So Saudi Arabia, for example, 2192 02:03:52.239 --> 02:03:53.960 is going to increase their output from nine million to 2193 02:03:54.039 --> 02:03:55.920 ten million barrels per day per day over the next 2194 02:03:56.000 --> 02:03:58.359 nine months. So this is, of course, you know, supply 2195 02:03:58.439 --> 02:04:02.079 and demand working op direction. So oil prices fell modestly 2196 02:04:02.119 --> 02:04:04.399 after the announcement, and the Brent crew dropped to just 2197 02:04:04.439 --> 02:04:07.000 below eighty one bucks a barrel. This is interesting because 2198 02:04:07.039 --> 02:04:10.239 it comes at travel time. Normally, this is the time 2199 02:04:10.279 --> 02:04:12.600 of year where we're all talking about how expensive gas 2200 02:04:12.720 --> 02:04:15.159 is because you know, they move to the summer mix 2201 02:04:15.199 --> 02:04:17.319 and all, we're all driving a Disney World and all that. 2202 02:04:17.279 --> 02:04:18.039 Other fun stuff. 2203 02:04:18.079 --> 02:04:22.000 So well, there's OPEK is certainly working in its own interests, 2204 02:04:22.399 --> 02:04:24.119 of course, but at the same time, this could be 2205 02:04:24.159 --> 02:04:25.840 a little bit of good news for the American consumer, 2206 02:04:25.880 --> 02:04:26.960 at least for a little while. 2207 02:04:26.800 --> 02:04:31.479 A little while. I suspect this might have an impact 2208 02:04:31.479 --> 02:04:33.560 on demand for Russian oil. 2209 02:04:34.880 --> 02:04:37.000 You could, yet it depends on the of course, the 2210 02:04:37.039 --> 02:04:40.560 geopolitical stuff. We'll have a huge impact there, and the 2211 02:04:40.680 --> 02:04:43.760 US is still producing. We're producing about thirteen million barrels 2212 02:04:43.760 --> 02:04:47.199 per day and that's about record highs there, and that 2213 02:04:47.239 --> 02:04:49.840 could offset We do have a bigger stick now than 2214 02:04:49.880 --> 02:04:52.319 we used to because of what we've discovered with fracking 2215 02:04:52.359 --> 02:04:54.600 and all that over the past twenty years, United States 2216 02:04:54.640 --> 02:04:56.960 has a much bigger oil player than it used to be. 2217 02:04:57.119 --> 02:04:59.359 So maybe this will be a summer where we don't 2218 02:04:59.359 --> 02:05:00.880 talk about oil prices a whole lot. 2219 02:05:01.159 --> 02:05:03.159 Well, you know, I just have to observe. It's always 2220 02:05:03.159 --> 02:05:04.920 been a problem with me, and that a thorn in 2221 02:05:05.000 --> 02:05:11.079 my side. OPEC OPEC plus, if those were all United 2222 02:05:11.119 --> 02:05:13.600 States oil producers, then they would be guilty as hell 2223 02:05:13.640 --> 02:05:17.319 of a Sherman anti trust violation because they coordinate the 2224 02:05:17.359 --> 02:05:20.279 price of oil. They regulate the price of oil by 2225 02:05:20.279 --> 02:05:23.680 coordinating their collective output by agreement. So I mean, if 2226 02:05:23.680 --> 02:05:25.840 they all decided they were going to tighten their belts 2227 02:05:25.880 --> 02:05:29.520 and not produce another ten billion, ten million barrels of 2228 02:05:29.560 --> 02:05:31.840 oil a day, the price would necessarily go up. And 2229 02:05:32.439 --> 02:05:35.560 I mean, I just find it. It seems fundamentally unfair 2230 02:05:35.600 --> 02:05:38.439 that they even exist as an organization although they're outside 2231 02:05:38.439 --> 02:05:40.760 of the United States laws relating to anti trust. 2232 02:05:41.359 --> 02:05:43.000 Yeah, no, I mean I think that is a great point. 2233 02:05:43.000 --> 02:05:43.479 It really is. 2234 02:05:43.520 --> 02:05:46.560 It's it's collusion at the highest level. But time, when 2235 02:05:46.600 --> 02:05:48.760 you have all supply, you can do whatever you want 2236 02:05:48.800 --> 02:05:52.399 with it. Imagine how far, how far behind we would be, Brian, 2237 02:05:52.439 --> 02:05:54.279 if we hadn't figured out how to frack our own 2238 02:05:54.319 --> 02:05:56.600 oil out of the shale here, you know, for pluses 2239 02:05:56.600 --> 02:05:59.119 and pluses and minuses to that, but at the same time, 2240 02:05:59.319 --> 02:06:01.039 we would really be behind the eight ball without that. 2241 02:06:01.239 --> 02:06:02.840 It really did get us out from under the thumb 2242 02:06:02.880 --> 02:06:07.159 of Opak to a large degree. So anyhow, let us 2243 02:06:07.159 --> 02:06:12.039 see here, let's talk unemployment before we change gears in 2244 02:06:12.079 --> 02:06:18.000 the next segment and talk about the inflation and what 2245 02:06:18.039 --> 02:06:21.720 this all means to our investment. So I see unemployment 2246 02:06:21.760 --> 02:06:24.319 claims hit a three year high, although we aren't we 2247 02:06:24.479 --> 02:06:28.399 still at what effectively is full employment by statistics. Job 2248 02:06:28.479 --> 02:06:30.880 was straight four point two percent in April. I thought 2249 02:06:30.920 --> 02:06:34.720 like four percent was considered full employment here in America. 2250 02:06:34.000 --> 02:06:34.279 It is. 2251 02:06:34.359 --> 02:06:36.640 Yeah, And we tend to tap dance right around the 2252 02:06:36.720 --> 02:06:39.560 you know, most of the time things are fairly stable 2253 02:06:39.600 --> 02:06:41.800 in over history, we tend to tap dance right around 2254 02:06:41.840 --> 02:06:44.800 that area. We don't want you know something, my out 2255 02:06:44.840 --> 02:06:47.520 there might be thinking, well, that's that's ninety six percent employment. 2256 02:06:47.520 --> 02:06:49.840 That's not full employment. We don't want full employment. 2257 02:06:50.079 --> 02:06:52.640 We don't want literally one hundred percent employment because that 2258 02:06:52.720 --> 02:06:54.680 means we can't grow. I don't know if you might 2259 02:06:54.720 --> 02:06:57.239 remember if you think back to that's probably twenty years ago, 2260 02:06:57.279 --> 02:07:00.399 but remember when McDonald's in a fast food in these 2261 02:07:00.399 --> 02:07:02.920 sort of entry level jobs, they were all paying really 2262 02:07:02.960 --> 02:07:06.399 really significant signing bonuses for the kind of jobs that 2263 02:07:06.399 --> 02:07:08.640 we don't normally associate with with that kind of thing. 2264 02:07:08.720 --> 02:07:10.680 And the reason was because at that point we had 2265 02:07:10.720 --> 02:07:13.119 I don't know, two percent unemployed or something like that. 2266 02:07:13.119 --> 02:07:15.520 Things were just going great guns. So we don't really 2267 02:07:15.520 --> 02:07:17.079 want to get to that, that's not a goal. But 2268 02:07:17.279 --> 02:07:21.079 most recently, initial jobless claims rose by about twenty two thousand, 2269 02:07:21.119 --> 02:07:22.920 up to two hundred and thirty four thousand. That's the 2270 02:07:23.039 --> 02:07:26.199 highest level since August of twenty three, and that that 2271 02:07:26.279 --> 02:07:28.439 is a sign of a bit of a softening labor market. 2272 02:07:28.479 --> 02:07:30.840 So what that means is that economists feel that the 2273 02:07:30.920 --> 02:07:34.000 job growth is cooling off, meaning that all the stuff 2274 02:07:34.000 --> 02:07:36.920 we've been talking about forever, high interest rates and slow 2275 02:07:36.960 --> 02:07:40.479 in consumer demand might finally be taking hold. No, remember, 2276 02:07:40.520 --> 02:07:43.439 we had a little bit of a spike in imports 2277 02:07:43.520 --> 02:07:48.119 in the first quarter because of everybody anticipating tariffs and 2278 02:07:48.479 --> 02:07:50.159 kind of getting ahead of that game a little bit 2279 02:07:50.399 --> 02:07:51.960 so that could be a bit of a distraction, but 2280 02:07:52.600 --> 02:07:54.239 now we might be getting to the point where we're 2281 02:07:54.239 --> 02:07:55.399 actually seeing the impact of this. 2282 02:07:56.000 --> 02:07:59.560 All right, Well, I wouldn't mind the interest rates going 2283 02:07:59.600 --> 02:08:03.199 down little bit making homes slightly more affordable, although until 2284 02:08:03.239 --> 02:08:05.239 we get the supply and demand issue, or the supply 2285 02:08:05.359 --> 02:08:08.359 issue worked out, I can't see even lower interest rates 2286 02:08:09.000 --> 02:08:11.720 helping much at least in terms of the price of homes. 2287 02:08:11.760 --> 02:08:14.439 Eight twenty five continue with Brian James. Are we getting 2288 02:08:14.520 --> 02:08:17.239 used to inflation at this point as it all settled in? 2289 02:08:17.279 --> 02:08:20.079 And also everything we've been talking about this morning might 2290 02:08:20.119 --> 02:08:21.960 have an impact on our investments. Brian James is going 2291 02:08:22.000 --> 02:08:24.319 to offer some thoughts on that topic as well. Eight 2292 02:08:24.319 --> 02:08:26.960 twenty six and fifty five care so the toxationan be 2293 02:08:27.039 --> 02:08:31.119 right back fifty five car the talk station. The medal 2294 02:08:31.119 --> 02:08:31.720 of honor is. 2295 02:08:31.720 --> 02:08:35.079 The highest Jenna nine first one to one of forecast. 2296 02:08:35.319 --> 02:08:37.600 It's going to be a sunny day, but hazy. They 2297 02:08:37.640 --> 02:08:39.760 say that Canadian wildfires are causing that. 2298 02:08:40.760 --> 02:08:40.840 Hi. 2299 02:08:40.960 --> 02:08:43.359 Today's seventy nine and fifty seven overnight with clear skies, 2300 02:08:43.359 --> 02:08:45.680 hazy and sunny Tomorrow eighty seven for the high with 2301 02:08:45.760 --> 02:08:49.359 clear skies overnight and now low of sixty seven late 2302 02:08:49.439 --> 02:08:52.279 Sometimes Wednesday showers and storms will show up and they'll 2303 02:08:52.359 --> 02:08:57.319 last into Thursday. Otherwise eighty eight for the high fifty three. 2304 02:08:57.359 --> 02:08:59.000 Right now, let's get a traffic updates. 2305 02:08:59.439 --> 02:09:01.960 From the use you have Triumphic Center, Megan's of Americans 2306 02:09:02.039 --> 02:09:05.840 are living with Alzheimer's or other dimensions, finding answers from 2307 02:09:05.920 --> 02:09:08.680 leading brain health experts that you see help learn more 2308 02:09:08.880 --> 02:09:12.000 you see health dot com. Sapbound seventy one continues to 2309 02:09:12.079 --> 02:09:14.880 run a bit heavy from the Reagan Highway through Kenwood 2310 02:09:15.159 --> 02:09:18.159 southbound seventy five add an extra five in and out 2311 02:09:18.199 --> 02:09:21.880 of Blacklin. Northbound seventy five continues to improve just a 2312 02:09:21.920 --> 02:09:26.119 couple of extra minutes now between Buttermilk and downtown caingbram 2313 02:09:26.239 --> 02:09:27.439 On fifty five krs. 2314 02:09:27.720 --> 02:09:32.399 The talk station A thirty on a Monday, Brian Thomas 2315 02:09:32.439 --> 02:09:37.079 with Brian James Money Monday. All right, so kind of 2316 02:09:37.119 --> 02:09:39.920 a mixed bag of quasi bad. It's none of a 2317 02:09:39.960 --> 02:09:44.239 gloom and doomy. But in terms of inflation, it looks 2318 02:09:44.279 --> 02:09:47.119 like inflation's kind of tapered off under the FED usually 2319 02:09:47.159 --> 02:09:50.520 looks for about two percent annually. I think that's what 2320 02:09:50.600 --> 02:09:54.800 it's desired. Inflation goal is for a healthy inflation rate, 2321 02:09:54.840 --> 02:09:58.680 which apparently doesn't register with people out in the day 2322 02:09:58.720 --> 02:10:01.079 to day world. We can all manage two percent, but 2323 02:10:01.119 --> 02:10:03.079 there was some there was a period of time where 2324 02:10:03.119 --> 02:10:05.199 it was going through the roof. And I mean, obviously 2325 02:10:05.279 --> 02:10:08.600 we mentioned the price of eggs earlier now free for me, 2326 02:10:08.720 --> 02:10:12.439 but that's a real that's still kind of a sticker shot, 2327 02:10:12.479 --> 02:10:14.560 because I think people will still remember what eggs used 2328 02:10:14.600 --> 02:10:16.640 to be before bird flu showed up and some of 2329 02:10:16.680 --> 02:10:20.119 the other issues showed up. But what about overall, where 2330 02:10:20.159 --> 02:10:23.359 consumers relative to their views of inflation relative to where 2331 02:10:23.399 --> 02:10:25.039 inflation actually is right now. 2332 02:10:25.079 --> 02:10:28.079 Brian, Well, in the some of the news articles we're reading, 2333 02:10:28.119 --> 02:10:30.840 as well as just in my day to day conversations 2334 02:10:30.880 --> 02:10:33.159 with clients where we've got financial plans and we both 2335 02:10:33.199 --> 02:10:34.920 knew what they spent five years ago. We know what 2336 02:10:34.920 --> 02:10:36.960 they're spending now because it's my job to help them 2337 02:10:37.000 --> 02:10:40.520 understand that. But in any case, consumers are really starting 2338 02:10:40.520 --> 02:10:43.239 to get used to it. We're kind of acquiescing to 2339 02:10:43.359 --> 02:10:45.680 the idea that stuff is just more expensive now. And 2340 02:10:46.119 --> 02:10:49.439 the prior fifteen years was a great run where we 2341 02:10:49.439 --> 02:10:51.560 didn't have inflation at all. Industrates were really really low 2342 02:10:51.600 --> 02:10:54.800 and that was fun. But this is reality now. So 2343 02:10:54.800 --> 02:10:57.760 so the interesting thing is, as you mentioned, the numbers 2344 02:10:57.760 --> 02:10:59.279 aren't that bad right now. If you're just looking at 2345 02:10:59.359 --> 02:11:02.680 year over year inflation, uh, it's about three point four 2346 02:11:02.760 --> 02:11:04.479 percent as of May of twenty five. 2347 02:11:05.159 --> 02:11:05.840 That's not bad. 2348 02:11:05.840 --> 02:11:07.840 We normally want it to be in the high twos, 2349 02:11:07.880 --> 02:11:11.079 maybe right around three percent, So it's slightly higher than that. 2350 02:11:11.079 --> 02:11:14.039 That's that Even that itself is somewhat manageable. But we're 2351 02:11:14.079 --> 02:11:16.439 still suffering from those couple of years a few years 2352 02:11:16.479 --> 02:11:19.039 ago where we hit as high as nine percent, yeah, 2353 02:11:19.199 --> 02:11:21.159 twenty two. So if you think about it, if if 2354 02:11:21.199 --> 02:11:23.359 we say three percent is our you know, average kind 2355 02:11:23.359 --> 02:11:27.000 of inflation expectation, well we pulled together three years of 2356 02:11:27.039 --> 02:11:29.279 that all in one year, just in twenty two, not 2357 02:11:29.319 --> 02:11:31.680 to mention the years around it. So people are still 2358 02:11:31.720 --> 02:11:33.880 suffering from that, and that's what's in our heads. But 2359 02:11:33.960 --> 02:11:36.119 at this point, people are just really just kind of 2360 02:11:36.439 --> 02:11:38.479 making the assumption that we are now in what's called 2361 02:11:38.520 --> 02:11:41.960 a disinflationary environment, not deflation. Every time we have inflation, 2362 02:11:42.000 --> 02:11:44.159 we have to invent a new word for it. Disinflation 2363 02:11:44.319 --> 02:11:46.399 means it's still going up, just not as quickly as 2364 02:11:46.399 --> 02:11:47.079 it was before. 2365 02:11:47.199 --> 02:11:49.439 Still inflation y, but not inflation well. 2366 02:11:49.479 --> 02:11:51.600 And it takes time for us to forget what we 2367 02:11:51.720 --> 02:11:54.720 used to pay for something, you know, after a while, 2368 02:11:54.760 --> 02:11:56.159 you know, like you'll ever want So you see a 2369 02:11:56.199 --> 02:11:58.880 meme post, you know, gasoline twenty nine cents a gown, 2370 02:11:58.880 --> 02:12:00.800 and like, wait, is there? When the hell was that? 2371 02:12:00.880 --> 02:12:03.840 I don't ever, I've always been whatever since my lifetime. 2372 02:12:03.840 --> 02:12:10.520 But you know, since inflation doesn't ever retract necessarily, I mean, 2373 02:12:10.600 --> 02:12:14.239 I know we have periods of deflation, but that's a 2374 02:12:14.359 --> 02:12:19.479 rare occasion. We experienced that six eight nine percent inflation, 2375 02:12:19.680 --> 02:12:22.119 but the prices haven't come down since then. They've just 2376 02:12:22.199 --> 02:12:24.920 gone up by much less. So we're all still struggling 2377 02:12:24.960 --> 02:12:27.720 with the fairly dramatic increase in prices of a few 2378 02:12:27.800 --> 02:12:28.239 years ago. 2379 02:12:28.640 --> 02:12:31.239 That's disinflation our new word for the day. You're right, 2380 02:12:31.319 --> 02:12:34.079 that's that's exactly what has happened now. For those who 2381 02:12:34.159 --> 02:12:37.039 might be hoping for prices to decrease and for this 2382 02:12:37.119 --> 02:12:39.319 inflation to unwind as if it were kind of an 2383 02:12:39.359 --> 02:12:41.880 accident on oopsee if you will, that's not gonna happen, 2384 02:12:41.960 --> 02:12:44.239 because remember what has come up. If you're a business 2385 02:12:44.239 --> 02:12:46.399 then you have borrowed money, you have had to give 2386 02:12:46.439 --> 02:12:49.439 your employees wage increases just to keep them. You've got 2387 02:12:49.479 --> 02:12:52.119 fixed costs now that are basically permanently higher for you 2388 02:12:52.159 --> 02:12:54.119 as the business. That means you have no choice but 2389 02:12:54.159 --> 02:12:57.079 to pass throughs through to the ultimate consumer. Maybe there's 2390 02:12:57.079 --> 02:12:59.079 a little flexibility, but there's not going to be a lot. 2391 02:12:59.279 --> 02:13:01.920 So those out there who might be rooting for price declines, 2392 02:13:02.039 --> 02:13:03.119 careful what you wish for. 2393 02:13:03.720 --> 02:13:07.000 All right. And finally, all that factors into our long 2394 02:13:07.079 --> 02:13:10.319 term investment strategies. Some people have longer term than others. 2395 02:13:11.159 --> 02:13:14.079 So should we be paying any attention to this or 2396 02:13:14.159 --> 02:13:18.199 just maintain with our financial planner of diversified portfolio and 2397 02:13:19.159 --> 02:13:22.479 a good mix of investments around the globe. 2398 02:13:22.479 --> 02:13:25.600 Basically, well, I think we're in this is enough of 2399 02:13:26.159 --> 02:13:29.319 a life changing event, a watershed period, if you will, 2400 02:13:29.319 --> 02:13:31.560 that I think it's probably time to adjust our budgets, 2401 02:13:31.560 --> 02:13:34.720 at least mentally, and just plan for permanently higher prices 2402 02:13:34.760 --> 02:13:37.600 on things and just make sure you are first of 2403 02:13:37.680 --> 02:13:39.760 That starts with knowing what you're spending. To begin with, 2404 02:13:39.800 --> 02:13:41.439 a lot of people who are in a solid financial 2405 02:13:41.479 --> 02:13:45.119 position have absolutely no idea what they're actually spending. They 2406 02:13:45.159 --> 02:13:47.119 just know they're not running up debts and they're not 2407 02:13:47.159 --> 02:13:49.800 piling up cash. Therefore they must be equilibrium. Well, make 2408 02:13:49.840 --> 02:13:52.479 sure you've built in some higher prices into your overall 2409 02:13:52.520 --> 02:13:54.960 financial plan so that you can handle what's coming over 2410 02:13:55.000 --> 02:13:56.800 the next one, two, three, four, five years. Even if 2411 02:13:56.800 --> 02:13:59.760 it is just moderate increases, it's still an increase you 2412 02:13:59.760 --> 02:14:01.720 need to be able to handle fair enough. 2413 02:14:02.000 --> 02:14:04.640 I just I'm at the point of my life, Brian, 2414 02:14:04.680 --> 02:14:08.119 where I just I don't need anything. 2415 02:14:09.439 --> 02:14:12.399 That does free eggs, right your shit, that is. 2416 02:14:12.439 --> 02:14:15.560 But you know, a house is done, we don't. We 2417 02:14:15.600 --> 02:14:17.560 don't have any We wanted to buy more furniture, we 2418 02:14:17.600 --> 02:14:19.600 don't have any room for it. You know, we got 2419 02:14:19.640 --> 02:14:21.920 the stuff that we like that we've had for decades. 2420 02:14:21.960 --> 02:14:25.359 It's just like it's eternal from its stylistic standpoint, and 2421 02:14:25.880 --> 02:14:28.079 you know, the house is paid for. I just just 2422 02:14:28.079 --> 02:14:29.439 don't have anything to spend money on. 2423 02:14:30.239 --> 02:14:33.199 Yeah, that's that's actually for somebody out there who's a 2424 02:14:33.199 --> 02:14:35.600 little younger than the two of us and maybe not 2425 02:14:35.640 --> 02:14:38.479 in that same position. I think it's okay to think 2426 02:14:38.520 --> 02:14:42.159 differently about housing than than the the current older generations 2427 02:14:42.159 --> 02:14:43.880 have thought about it. It was it was dirt cheap for 2428 02:14:43.960 --> 02:14:46.319 us to buy houses and pay down debt and all that. 2429 02:14:46.520 --> 02:14:49.359 It's okay to rent for a little bit longer. Make 2430 02:14:49.520 --> 02:14:51.479 darn sure that you are where you want to be, 2431 02:14:51.560 --> 02:14:52.960 that you're in the town you want to be, the 2432 02:14:52.960 --> 02:14:54.159 part of that town that you want to. 2433 02:14:54.079 --> 02:14:54.840 Be for the long haul. 2434 02:14:55.079 --> 02:14:57.199 Don't rush to buy a house just because of some 2435 02:14:57.239 --> 02:14:59.680 antiquated wisdom that says houses are a great savings. 2436 02:14:59.760 --> 02:15:00.640 Be they are not. 2437 02:15:00.960 --> 02:15:03.520 That's you know what, That's an outstanding point. I hopefully 2438 02:15:03.520 --> 02:15:05.600 get some people take some comfort to that because you know, 2439 02:15:05.840 --> 02:15:08.680 being in that older generation and having that mindset that 2440 02:15:08.720 --> 02:15:10.159 you have to own a home, and that's what you 2441 02:15:10.239 --> 02:15:14.880 really strove to hurry up and accomplish. I mean, it 2442 02:15:14.960 --> 02:15:16.680 wasn't necessarily a challenge for my wife, for me, but 2443 02:15:16.760 --> 02:15:19.880 you know, it is a weight. But you know, there 2444 02:15:19.880 --> 02:15:22.560 ain't nothing wrong with renting. It gives you flexibility too, 2445 02:15:22.600 --> 02:15:24.520 because you get tired of a place, you can easily 2446 02:15:24.600 --> 02:15:26.880 pack up and move on to some place else. 2447 02:15:27.159 --> 02:15:30.039 A house is a terribly inefficient investment when you account 2448 02:15:30.039 --> 02:15:32.159 for taxes and repairs of all other stuff. 2449 02:15:32.199 --> 02:15:34.239 It keeps the rain off of your stuff. That's that's 2450 02:15:34.239 --> 02:15:34.640 its job. 2451 02:15:34.760 --> 02:15:36.800 Good point Brian James. Always a pleasure talking with you, 2452 02:15:36.880 --> 02:15:38.680 all Ware and thanks again to all Worth Financial for 2453 02:15:38.760 --> 02:15:40.880 loading you out.

It's going to be a hot summer, 2468 02:16:16.800 --> 02:16:18.640 he pointed out. We've got all these events coming up, 2469 02:16:19.319 --> 02:16:22.399 and what a terrible last several days in the city 2470 02:16:22.439 --> 02:16:27.640 of Cincinnati, and you know, God bless the City of 2471 02:16:27.640 --> 02:16:30.319 Cincinnati Police department. I certainly have their backs and do 2472 02:16:30.439 --> 02:16:33.079 everything I can to at least outwardly support them and 2473 02:16:33.159 --> 02:16:35.639 say positive things on their behalf. My sister, of course, 2474 02:16:35.719 --> 02:16:38.000 was a life you know, worked her entire life for 2475 02:16:38.040 --> 02:16:41.799 the police department twenty five years before retirement. I've heard 2476 02:16:41.879 --> 02:16:44.920 terrible stories, but things have gotten worse for the Cincinni police. 2477 02:16:44.920 --> 02:16:47.120 She had to, you know, defund the police movement. The 2478 02:16:47.120 --> 02:16:51.239 police are all races taken to the streets and not 2479 02:16:51.319 --> 02:16:53.799 all are you know, have clean hands, but the vast 2480 02:16:53.799 --> 02:16:56.680 majority of them do. But as we were talking about that, 2481 02:16:57.159 --> 02:16:59.079 uget Reker had pointed out, it's okay, we're not going 2482 02:16:59.159 --> 02:17:01.520 to have any violent in the streets this summer because 2483 02:17:02.319 --> 02:17:06.639 Sawyer point we'll be offering free roller skating for teens 2484 02:17:06.680 --> 02:17:12.479 every Friday this summer, right, Joe. He even wrote on 2485 02:17:12.520 --> 02:17:14.559 the news article from this morning, this will stop this 2486 02:17:14.639 --> 02:17:17.520 shooting anyway. Not to make light of the shootings, because 2487 02:17:17.559 --> 02:17:20.920 I mean, get a load of this reporting from Monday, 2488 02:17:21.360 --> 02:17:24.559 over a five day period. Over a two day period, 2489 02:17:24.600 --> 02:17:27.879 there were five shootings Ammonel over the Rhine West End, 2490 02:17:27.879 --> 02:17:33.040 wentin Hills Mount Airy, and you pivot over to a 2491 02:17:33.159 --> 02:17:36.440 more recent reporting, a two year old was shot a 2492 02:17:36.520 --> 02:17:39.680 two year old and the villages of roll Hill.

Unclear how the child was 2494 02:17:47.120 --> 02:17:50.959 shot local police since the police sport Lieutenant cunning In 2495 02:17:51.040 --> 02:17:52.920 so the child was taken to since Saint Children's is 2496 02:17:52.959 --> 02:17:55.639 currently stable, so we can at least thank God for that. 2497 02:17:57.639 --> 02:17:59.719 In Norwood, we had two people taken to the hospital 2498 02:17:59.719 --> 02:18:03.120 after shooting outside an Norwood home on Saturday afternoon five 2499 02:18:03.120 --> 02:18:06.120 thousand block of Road Island Avenue, taking a UC Medical 2500 02:18:06.159 --> 02:18:11.520 Center in serious condition. And we had a man fatally 2501 02:18:11.559 --> 02:18:14.280 shot crashing into a house in Forest Park on Saturday. 2502 02:18:14.319 --> 02:18:17.360 According to Sargant Jackie Dryer with the Forest Park Police Department, 2503 02:18:18.959 --> 02:18:21.600 twenty six year old man suffered a gunshot wound Edmund 2504 02:18:21.639 --> 02:18:26.840 identified pronounced dead at the scene. So oh, he should 2505 02:18:26.840 --> 02:18:31.280 have been skating, Joe. That may be a little harsh. 2506 02:18:31.440 --> 02:18:33.479 But then I saw this article out of New York 2507 02:18:33.520 --> 02:18:37.799 which really kind of as an exclamation point some of 2508 02:18:37.879 --> 02:18:41.000 Christopher's points since I put New York City Police Department 2509 02:18:41.639 --> 02:18:46.040 officers have reported a sixty three percent rise in assaults 2510 02:18:46.079 --> 02:18:49.520 over the past six years. This is assault on police officers, 2511 02:18:50.879 --> 02:18:55.000 nine hundred and seventy assaults on uniform police officers in 2512 02:18:55.040 --> 02:19:00.879 the city so far this year and as at this 2513 02:19:00.920 --> 02:19:02.920 time last year, five hundred and ninety five, so there 2514 02:19:02.959 --> 02:19:04.799 was five hundred ninety five is way too many, but 2515 02:19:04.920 --> 02:19:11.319 nine hundred and seventy number of assaulted cops, which includes 2516 02:19:11.360 --> 02:19:13.760 all city law enforcement officers, is up fifty seven pair 2517 02:19:13.879 --> 02:19:22.920 to data in the same period last year. They have 2518 02:19:23.040 --> 02:19:27.959 reports of the trained are Aragua gang teenagers, young people 2519 02:19:28.079 --> 02:19:32.840 fighting with police officers in Times Square after robbing two people, 2520 02:19:37.200 --> 02:19:40.479 one off duty police officer. They've identified a person of 2521 02:19:40.559 --> 02:19:46.040 interest that police officer beaten, held at nine point and 2522 02:19:46.319 --> 02:19:52.600 robbed in the Bronx. And to Christopher's point, they had 2523 02:19:52.600 --> 02:19:55.479 a retired New York Police dessarge and adjunct professor at 2524 02:19:55.479 --> 02:20:00.399 Penn State University, Joseph Giacalone, speaking with The New York Post, 2525 02:20:00.520 --> 02:20:03.280 and he said, you have DA's like Alvin Bragg who 2526 02:20:03.360 --> 02:20:07.920 don't even want to prosecute felony assaults against cops. So 2527 02:20:08.079 --> 02:20:11.920 where is the deterrence. You have a criminal justice system 2528 02:20:11.959 --> 02:20:14.479 that's a revolving door, and people are getting arrested forty 2529 02:20:14.799 --> 02:20:18.879 fifty sixty times. Cops are dealing with people out on 2530 02:20:18.920 --> 02:20:24.440 the streets who are really bad and therein lies the challenge. 2531 02:20:24.440 --> 02:20:26.760 This is, you know, the cry for our elected officials 2532 02:20:26.799 --> 02:20:30.239 and our prosecutors and our judges to hold these violent 2533 02:20:30.280 --> 02:20:34.120 people accountable. Word gets out. It's like the open border. 2534 02:20:34.440 --> 02:20:36.280 You announce to the world you got an open border, 2535 02:20:36.319 --> 02:20:37.799 and that you're not holding people, you're not keeping them 2536 02:20:37.799 --> 02:20:39.280 out of the country. You're gonna off from all kinds 2537 02:20:39.319 --> 02:20:42.479 of free social services. Guess what, it's a blank and magnet. 2538 02:20:42.959 --> 02:20:45.079 When you got a revolving door. In the criminal justice system, 2539 02:20:45.079 --> 02:20:47.559 you can get arrested this many times and there's never 2540 02:20:47.680 --> 02:20:50.399 going to be a moment or measure of accountability. You're 2541 02:20:50.399 --> 02:20:53.040 going to be out on the streets and no consequences whatsoever. 2542 02:20:53.520 --> 02:20:57.639 In many cases no prosecution, so not even an arrest record. 2543 02:20:59.559 --> 02:21:03.719 This is aminal justice system just falling apart. One of 2544 02:21:03.719 --> 02:21:08.399 the key legs of the criminal justice system is prosecution punishment. 2545 02:21:08.920 --> 02:21:12.559 As a warning to others who might engage in similar conduct, 2546 02:21:12.719 --> 02:21:18.399 don't do it. We need to write the ship in 2547 02:21:18.479 --> 02:21:22.319 this country, and who among us would want a career 2548 02:21:22.360 --> 02:21:24.719 in law enforcement with statistics like that, most notably in 2549 02:21:24.760 --> 02:21:29.600 a place like New York City. Just heartbreaking from my standpoint, 2550 02:21:30.280 --> 02:21:32.239 But we can do something about it. We can be 2551 02:21:32.520 --> 02:21:34.959 more out loud about our support for the police. We 2552 02:21:34.959 --> 02:21:37.920 can be better about electing judges, as notably here in 2553 02:21:37.920 --> 02:21:43.120 Hamilton County and well, I guess we'll give Connie Pillach 2554 02:21:43.200 --> 02:21:45.079 a little time on the job. But we can be 2555 02:21:45.079 --> 02:21:49.120 better at electing prosecutors. I think we really missed out 2556 02:21:49.159 --> 02:21:51.760 in a golden opportunity to keep Melissa Powers in that position. 2557 02:21:51.799 --> 02:21:55.159 At least she demonstrably went after bad guys and tried 2558 02:21:55.159 --> 02:21:57.840 to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. In 2559 02:21:57.840 --> 02:22:00.479 spite of the fact that she these criminals quite often 2560 02:22:00.479 --> 02:22:02.760 would end up in front of a very liberal judge 2561 02:22:02.799 --> 02:22:04.920 with a different view of the criminal justice system, who 2562 02:22:04.959 --> 02:22:07.000 would not prosecute them to the full or would not 2563 02:22:07.879 --> 02:22:09.959 hold them accountable to the fullest extent of the law. 2564 02:22:10.719 --> 02:22:12.600 A forty six right now, fifty five k see the 2565 02:22:12.760 --> 02:22:14.879 talk stations.

Of course, we'll have a lot to talk 2590 02:23:35.559 --> 02:23:38.559 about with Daniel Davis. It just was so surprised that 2591 02:23:38.719 --> 02:23:45.239 Ukraine was able to get those drones in close proximity 2592 02:23:45.399 --> 02:23:50.200 to the various era various military bases where Russia had 2593 02:23:50.200 --> 02:23:54.040 these large scale bombers and these drones that they used 2594 02:23:54.079 --> 02:23:57.639 they called f p V drones. They apparently can be 2595 02:23:57.639 --> 02:24:01.319 brought for just a few hundred bucks a pop, but 2596 02:24:01.479 --> 02:24:05.319 did seven billion dollars reportedly in damaged disabling thirty four 2597 02:24:05.360 --> 02:24:08.600 percent of the cruise missiles cruise missile carriers at a 2598 02:24:08.680 --> 02:24:13.280 key Russian air base. See, they got all these hundreds 2599 02:24:13.319 --> 02:24:16.559 and hundreds of thousands, if not million dollar aircraft, million 2600 02:24:16.559 --> 02:24:20.520 plus dollar aircraft, and a handful of very inexpensive drones 2601 02:24:20.559 --> 02:24:24.440 blew them up and that'll curb brushes ability to launch 2602 02:24:24.440 --> 02:24:27.760 some of these missiles that these airplanes carry. So what 2603 02:24:27.840 --> 02:24:30.799 impact they'll have on the war? I think the one 2604 02:24:30.840 --> 02:24:32.760 impact we can all count on it having. That's why 2605 02:24:32.760 --> 02:24:35.000 I'm looking forward to having Daniel Davison to discuss this 2606 02:24:36.120 --> 02:24:39.079 is you're probably going to see a pretty profound retaliation 2607 02:24:39.239 --> 02:24:42.079 for this. But since they were planning on this for 2608 02:24:42.120 --> 02:24:44.879 apparently well over a year, the Ukrainians were they were 2609 02:24:44.920 --> 02:24:47.680 able to sneak these drones in and set up these 2610 02:24:47.680 --> 02:24:50.520 little what they referred to as houses with roofs that 2611 02:24:50.639 --> 02:24:54.319 popped up roofs, popped up drones were launched in in 2612 02:24:54.360 --> 02:24:56.159 a matter of a few minutes. They landed on their 2613 02:24:56.200 --> 02:25:00.639 targets quite successfully, it appears, so anyhow, Daniel Dave was 2614 02:25:00.639 --> 02:25:03.520 always giving us a Ukraine Russia update, So keep your 2615 02:25:03.559 --> 02:25:06.600 popcorn out on that, if I can say it, uh 2616 02:25:10.600 --> 02:25:16.399 trying to think, well why not? Why not end on 2617 02:25:16.440 --> 02:25:20.879 a little lighter note. I actually chuckled out loud on 2618 02:25:20.920 --> 02:25:23.799 this one. I'm not a fan of a fan of 2619 02:25:23.879 --> 02:25:27.799 driverless cars. Like you know, if I ordered an Uber, 2620 02:25:27.879 --> 02:25:29.879 I'd want a driver behind the wheel of the car. 2621 02:25:30.040 --> 02:25:33.479 I don't want to buy a Tesla for its driverless features. 2622 02:25:33.520 --> 02:25:35.719 I'm just not comfortable with that, and I don't think 2623 02:25:35.760 --> 02:25:38.159 I ever will be. I enjoy the active driving. I 2624 02:25:38.280 --> 02:25:41.799 enjoy the engagement of driving. I like paying attention to 2625 02:25:41.840 --> 02:25:44.079 the road, and I really do have a fond appreciation 2626 02:25:45.040 --> 02:25:48.920 for the well the chess game. That's driving a lot 2627 02:25:48.959 --> 02:25:51.239 of crazy people out there. So if you stay engaged 2628 02:25:51.280 --> 02:25:53.559 as a driver, it can make you drive a little 2629 02:25:53.559 --> 02:25:56.159 bit more interesting when you're trying to well keep yourself alive. 2630 02:25:56.280 --> 02:25:59.639 So that's part of the pleasure of driving for me. 2631 02:26:00.559 --> 02:26:01.719 If you don't have your hands on the way. You 2632 02:26:01.840 --> 02:26:03.440 have to pay attention. It's just I don't know, I 2633 02:26:03.440 --> 02:26:06.799 get wigged out by that anyway. Moving aside from my 2634 02:26:06.840 --> 02:26:09.360 personal opinions about it, there's a driverless ride hill in 2635 02:26:09.399 --> 02:26:10.719 company out there. You may have heard of it, called 2636 02:26:10.760 --> 02:26:16.040 way Mo, apparently now operating in multiple states. They have 2637 02:26:16.120 --> 02:26:18.399 a rotating sensor on the top of the vehicle. Pretty 2638 02:26:18.440 --> 02:26:22.680 goofy look and think, But residents out in Santa Monica, 2639 02:26:22.719 --> 02:26:25.479 California have headed up to their eyeballs with these driverless 2640 02:26:25.520 --> 02:26:30.680 Waymos because they are equipped with a backup noise. The 2641 02:26:30.760 --> 02:26:33.440 beep beep, beep beep you get from large truck large 2642 02:26:33.479 --> 02:26:38.959 trucks and the charging lots where these Waimo driverless cars go. 2643 02:26:39.040 --> 02:26:41.760 I guess there's some sort of automated recharging systems. You 2644 02:26:41.840 --> 02:26:43.799 got all these residents around it and are now hearing 2645 02:26:43.879 --> 02:26:48.840 constant beeping sounds. LA Times reported to hear it from residents. 2646 02:26:48.879 --> 02:26:51.399 The beeping never seems to stop, largely due to the 2647 02:26:51.399 --> 02:26:56.319 state regulation requiring vehicles to audibly reverse. Likedri delivery trucks, 2648 02:26:57.239 --> 02:26:59.399 they beep as they back out of charging spots, they 2649 02:26:59.399 --> 02:27:01.719 beep as they reversed to navigate around each other. They 2650 02:27:01.760 --> 02:27:03.600 beat in the morning as they head out to pick 2651 02:27:03.639 --> 02:27:05.920 up early passengers. They beat late at night as they 2652 02:27:05.959 --> 02:27:08.200 returned to charge up. Yeah, that would try to drive 2653 02:27:08.239 --> 02:27:13.879 you backcrap insane, wouldn't it. Times reported city officials and 2654 02:27:13.959 --> 02:27:16.799 a judge and even police have been forced to intercede 2655 02:27:16.840 --> 02:27:19.040 after residents who say the self driving cars are a 2656 02:27:19.120 --> 02:27:22.680 nuisance have banded together against the fifty six vehicle feet 2657 02:27:22.719 --> 02:27:26.159 that's locally anyway reached out to the city. They've called weimo. 2658 02:27:26.280 --> 02:27:29.520 Now some are trying unconventional tactics, which is what happens 2659 02:27:30.360 --> 02:27:34.799 using cones, cars and sometimes themselves. Residents have taken to 2660 02:27:35.040 --> 02:27:39.360 blocking the weimos from entering the company funded parking lot, 2661 02:27:39.799 --> 02:27:41.840 so much so that the company has then had to 2662 02:27:41.879 --> 02:27:43.959 call the cops. I said at least a half a 2663 02:27:44.000 --> 02:27:47.680 dozen times. They say WEMO is trying to make some 2664 02:27:47.719 --> 02:27:50.719 efforts to reduce the noise, including quote limiting hours that 2665 02:27:50.760 --> 02:27:54.559 staff members work at the lots, purchasing quiets or vacuums 2666 02:27:54.600 --> 02:27:59.159 to clean the cars, and installing fast growing bamboo stands 2667 02:27:59.159 --> 02:28:03.239 to try to absorb some of the noise. One local 2668 02:28:03.280 --> 02:28:09.680 resident said, come on, it's lipstick on a pig baby. 2669 02:28:10.479 --> 02:28:14.479 The issue here, according to the Mayor pro tem Carolyn Truris, 2670 02:28:14.399 --> 02:28:16.239 is speaking with the La Times. Hey, the issue here 2671 02:28:16.319 --> 02:28:20.799 is they are sounds that the vehicles are required to make. 2672 02:28:21.040 --> 02:28:24.479 I'm totally sympathetic the quiet enjoyment of property. So we're 2673 02:28:24.520 --> 02:28:27.079 trying to get this under control. Yeah, well, repeal the 2674 02:28:27.159 --> 02:28:31.040 law that says the damn things have to beat. Seems 2675 02:28:31.040 --> 02:28:33.639 to me that that's the actual source of the problem. 2676 02:28:34.200 --> 02:28:37.440 My card doesn't beep when I go and reverse eight 2677 02:28:37.520 --> 02:28:40.360 fifty five fifty five KR City Talk Station inside Scoopy 2678 02:28:40.399 --> 02:28:42.639 Bright Bart News, Daniel Davis Deep Dive tomorrow.
