Speaker 1: Five o five.
Speaker 2: At the July krc DE talk station every Monday. I'm
Speaker 2: the dude man and I'm Brian Thomas, not the dude
Speaker 2: Judge Juckers in there. Fun lines are open five one three,
Speaker 2: seven four excuse me, fifty five d eight two three
Speaker 2: talk with Pound five fifty on AT and T funds.
Speaker 2: Coming up on the fifty five k SEE Morning Show.
Speaker 2: It's Monday, Christopher Smithman at seven twenty, first of the guests,
Speaker 2: and then yes, it's Monday, Monday, Monday with Brian James
Speaker 2: every Monday at eight oh five. Today we talk about
Speaker 2: the Dow futures dropping, on the tariff issues. Trump has
Speaker 2: double down on the steel tariffs. That's another time we'll
Speaker 2: talk about him. Well, price is apparently up a little bit,
Speaker 2: although the price of the pump's been great and as
Speaker 2: we are are we just learning to live with higher prices, inflation,
Speaker 2: et cetera. Job as claims up, GDP contracted. Although I've
Speaker 2: seen information the inflation is actually steadied, it's actually lower.
Speaker 2: So I guess depends on where you get your news.
Speaker 3: And should any of this impact how we invest? Ultimately
Speaker 3: the point of Brian James, how can you turn whatever
Speaker 3: news is in the news into good news for your
Speaker 3: investment portfolio, and hopefully you've got one heat to be
Speaker 3: in a position where I'm going to rely only on
Speaker 3: Social Security in my retirement, because that's on its own.
Speaker 3: I won't say death spiral, but I guess I could
Speaker 3: say that anyway. I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 3: A happy birthday to my wife. She had her birthday
Speaker 3: on Saturday. Now I gonna say how old she is.
Speaker 3: She get mad at me, but had a nice time.
Speaker 3: Went to Summer Fair. That was a good day, and
Speaker 3: also to dinner and hello to my friends at the
Speaker 3: turf Club. I was gonna take her out to his
Speaker 3: steak dinner at a real nice place, had a reservation
Speaker 3: and everything. She goes Brian, you know what, I'd rather
Speaker 3: just go to turf club. So that's what we did,
Speaker 3: straight from Summer Fair to the turf Club. Really enjoyable
Speaker 3: day though, and got to spend the day at my
Speaker 3: daughter's farm. Yesterday all eleven chickens out running around the yard.
Speaker 3: Got a dozen fresh farm eggs we took home with us.
Speaker 3: That is the coolest thing. Those are really good eggs.
Speaker 3: They are really doing a great job those two. It's
Speaker 3: so impressive. It's nice to see your children achieve great things.
Speaker 3: And I think that's exactly what's going on with her
Speaker 3: and her fiance. So anyway, just getting that personal information
Speaker 3: out there because I'm just really proud of what they're doing. Ah,
Speaker 3: whatever is going on, I'm not quite sure where to start.
Speaker 3: I thought it was interesting the Russian bombers that were
Speaker 3: blown up by a Ukraine drone attack. Sure, this is
Speaker 3: something we'll talk about with Daniel Davis deep dive tomorrow.
Speaker 3: We talked to Daniel every Tuesday at eight thirty retired
Speaker 3: Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis on strategy, military strategy. But apparently
Speaker 3: what they did they snuck the drones in, had them
Speaker 3: placed rather close to the targets that they blew up.
Speaker 3: So they transport of these drones to Russia later on
Speaker 3: on the territory of the Russian Federation. The drones were
Speaker 3: hidden under the roofs of mobile wooden cabinets already placed
Speaker 3: on trucks, and at the right moment, the roofs of
Speaker 3: the cabints where cabins were opened remotely and the drones
Speaker 3: flew to hit the Russian bombers and apparently forty or
Speaker 3: forty one of the bombers were either destroyed or or
Speaker 3: blown up, at least in part. I'm not quite sure
Speaker 3: of the status of any given bomber. These may not numbers,
Speaker 3: may not mean anything to you, but in terms of
Speaker 3: the overall cost, it was extraordinarily expensive to the Russians
Speaker 3: relative to the price of the drones they hit. The
Speaker 3: A fifty, the Tu ninety five, the Tu twenty two,
Speaker 3: M three, those are the aircraft that among the ones
Speaker 3: that were hit. So the drone operation caused approximately seven
Speaker 3: billion dollars in damage to the Russian air fleet, disabling
Speaker 3: thirty four percent of the cruise missile carriers in key
Speaker 3: Russian air bases. That's a sizable chunk for one drug strike.
Speaker 3: Ukraine uses long has the real problem hitting interior targets
Speaker 3: in Russia, and that's is something Daniel Davis and I
Speaker 3: talk about all the time. You know, how much good
Speaker 3: is it to hit some random target within Russia. Russia
Speaker 3: had kept most of the hardware it was using in
Speaker 3: Ukraine against the Ukrainians beyond the reach of the drones
Speaker 3: that they had well have, but also beyond the reach
Speaker 3: of the military missile apparatus that we in other countries
Speaker 3: had provided to Ukraine's so far, so they were struggling
Speaker 3: to actually hit Mili targets in the interior of Russia.
Speaker 3: So since Moscow kept them out of the range of
Speaker 3: the weapons KIV had been developing, they snuck them in
Speaker 3: and got them closer to the targets, which, you know,
Speaker 3: it's it's quite an accomplishment when you think about it.
Speaker 3: Attack likely highly cost effective. It's written these FPV drones
Speaker 3: that the Ukraine's use. They say it could be bought
Speaker 3: for just a few hundred dollars each, but going back
Speaker 3: to the cost of the damage seven billion dollars. The
Speaker 3: forty one heavy bombers run into the billions of dollars,
Speaker 3: so the return on investment was pretty substantial. The A
Speaker 3: fifty aircraft, they say, provide several critical functions for the
Speaker 3: ongoing war in Ukraine, detecting air defense systems, guide missiles,
Speaker 3: and coordinated targets for Russian fighter jets. They possessed fewer
Speaker 3: than ten of those. The Russians do. A fifty aircraft
Speaker 3: have an estimated price of three hundred and fifty million
Speaker 3: dollar each, so not sure how many were blown up.
Speaker 3: In the drone attack. But you hit a few of them,
Speaker 3: that's a sizable chunk if they only own ten of them.
Speaker 3: Going back to the other aircraft, the U two plev,
Speaker 3: TU ninety five and TU twenty two, and the TU
Speaker 3: one sixty, they're described as heavy bombers regularly used to
Speaker 3: launch missiles at Ukrainian cities. The t U ninety five
Speaker 3: the oldest at the Soviet aeroplane they started flying in
Speaker 3: nineteen fifty two, usually used to carry nuclear weapons, but
Speaker 3: they've now turned it into something to launch his cruise missiles.
Speaker 3: Each of those can carry sixteen of the cruise missiles.
Speaker 3: TU twenty two also carries missiles which pose a particular
Speaker 3: problem for Ukraine. The type of missile it carries it's
Speaker 3: called in KGE twenty two, and I know there's a
Speaker 3: lot of numbers and figures, but it's a supersonic missile
Speaker 3: that travels around four thousand kilometers an hour. So getting
Speaker 3: rid of the aircraft that deploys that particular missile, I
Speaker 3: suppose it's a pretty good thing. The only things that
Speaker 3: can shoot those down to the US made Patriot air
Speaker 3: defense systems and potentially this Italian French system called sam
Speaker 3: T and the most modern strategic bomber that was hit
Speaker 3: at TU one sixty started in nineteen eighty seven. It
Speaker 3: remains the largest operational bomber in the world. Can carry
Speaker 3: a total of twelve of those supersonic missiles, so that
Speaker 3: again quite an operation. And then there are also three
Speaker 3: train crashes. Apparently they blew up some bridges just yesterday
Speaker 3: as well. Seven people dead. A lot of damage though
Speaker 3: to the railroad infrastructure in Russia. So they're still fighting.
Speaker 3: I guess, you know, probably a well. I think the
Speaker 3: bomber is obviously actually a pretty strategic military accomplishment, but
Speaker 3: it certainly must have It has to give some you
Speaker 3: know plus to the morale side of the Ukraine since
Speaker 3: they get in their butt kicks and more and more
Speaker 3: Russians are advancing into the Ukraine's territory, so they keep
Speaker 3: losing territory day by day. I also saw that the
Speaker 3: Russians had a mass like fifty thousand additional troops along
Speaker 3: the border there, so that does not spell good news
Speaker 3: for Ukraine. And you know, the Russians are going to
Speaker 3: retaliate against this. One just becomes a question of when
Speaker 3: and to what degree. So I look very much. Looking
Speaker 3: forward to hearing from Daniel Davis on this tomorrow, get
Speaker 3: his thoughts and comments. What else I want to get
Speaker 3: to the city of Cincinnati's issues speaking of damaged infrastructure,
Speaker 3: But why not just go down this road to the
Speaker 3: remaining minute we've got in this segment. Now it is
Speaker 3: Corey Booker and Nazi. Joe is Corey Booker and Nazi. Now, yes,
Speaker 3: that didn't take long. You didn't have to hesitate on
Speaker 3: that one. He didn't have to do the Nazi salute
Speaker 3: to tell you that Democrat Senator Corey Booker being mocked
Speaker 3: by a lot of folks, mostly conservatives, weren't waiting for
Speaker 3: the mainstream media to start calling Corey Booker a Nazi
Speaker 3: because he too delivered an alleged Nazi salute to the
Speaker 3: California Democrats while equipping that the New Jersey Democrat won't
Speaker 3: get the same scrutiny as Elon Musk when he raised
Speaker 3: his arm to Maggot supporters back in January. I'm sure
Speaker 3: you've all seen that when you saw the reports, and
Speaker 3: then it became Elon Musk Nazi, Elon must Nazi, Elon
Speaker 3: must Nazi, Nazi, Elon Musk cutting this cutting that it's
Speaker 3: all bad he's a Nazi, And I never did say
Speaker 3: it was a Nazi salute. Didn't appear to be to me.
Speaker 3: It was just like you know, when you're in front
Speaker 3: of a crowd and you're talking and you're animated. If
Speaker 3: you capture a photograph of someone at any given time,
Speaker 3: you can probably turn it into a Nazi salut, if
Speaker 3: that's what you want to characterize it as. It's just
Speaker 3: it's a bunch of nonsense. Well, Corey Booker did the
Speaker 3: same thing. So everybody's out on social media stand waiting
Speaker 3: for the waiting for the Elon Musk treatment. One commentator
Speaker 3: government scientist Matt von Swell on X here's the list
Speaker 3: of all the news networks who have not covered Corey Booker,
Speaker 3: New York Times, CNN, Washington Posts, MSNBC and PR, USA Today,
Speaker 3: Reuter's Axios, ABC News. Every single one of them wrote
Speaker 3: stories on Elon Musk's Nazi salute? Do you get it yet? Musk,
Speaker 3: for his part, I think he summed it up quite nicely.
Speaker 3: Legacy media is one big psyop amen to that anyway,
Speaker 3: Concerns arising over house Cincinnati is using money from the
Speaker 3: railroad line site. That's one we got to get to.
Speaker 3: And the new Western Hills Viaduct. Much like the roads
Speaker 3: that are in a dire state of in need of
Speaker 3: repair in the city of Cincinnati, the new viaduct's got
Speaker 3: a lot more expensive over time. H Gee, I wonder
Speaker 3: why that might be stick around. We've got lot's talk
Speaker 3: about you. Feel free to chime in. I'd love to
Speaker 3: hear from you. If you've got a comment, I'll be
Speaker 3: right back. Fifty the talk station bitchbobcarresee dot com. You
Speaker 3: Tryhart Media stream the audio you happen to be it,
Speaker 3: got the information on the blog page, and of course
Speaker 3: get the podcast if you hadn't didn't get a chance
Speaker 3: to listen to line podcast like today with Christomer Smith,
Speaker 3: Smith and Smith Event. Okay, what should these cities since
Speaker 3: said to be spending money on? We got allegedly fifty
Speaker 3: six million dollars in interest from the one point six
Speaker 3: billion dollars invested railroad money that has to go to
Speaker 3: infrastructure existing infrastructure. Local twelve reporting that there are critics
Speaker 3: questioning why more money isn't going toward repairing the Cincinnatis
Speaker 3: damaged streets, which looked like they were in a war zone.
Speaker 3: So what is the current Cincinni budget, which has to
Speaker 3: be done by the end of the month. The budget
Speaker 3: proposes nearly thirty five million for road paving and repair
Speaker 3: out of the fifty six million dollars of cities getting
Speaker 3: from the railroad investment, and as is reported, it's only
Speaker 3: going to cover fifty under fifty miles. Thirty five million
Speaker 3: dollars gets you less than fifty miles of repaving for
Speaker 3: the whole year. That's all they're planning on doing now,
Speaker 3: after years of leaving the roads in a state of neglect.
Speaker 3: Who's been running the city now for the last four decades,
Speaker 3: Oh that's right, Democrats. This is a failure of priority.
Speaker 3: Aft have Purval Mayor pointed out the obvious higher costs
Speaker 3: mean fewer roads can be paved. Okay, that's because you
Speaker 3: keep kicking the can down the road. Inflation happens every year,
Speaker 3: so every year you neglect it, the more expensive it's
Speaker 3: going to be to pave a road mile dah. He
Speaker 3: said the following, You know, the component costs for paving
Speaker 3: roads have gone up, the supply chain issues that we're seeing.
Speaker 3: Are you ready because of the tariffs and the are
Speaker 3: you ready uncertainty from the federal government to create more
Speaker 3: expense for us. Really, huh, Tariff said that much of
Speaker 3: an impact. Huh do we import asphalt from China or something?
Speaker 3: I thought that was kind of a domestically produced item. Anyway,
Speaker 3: he's probably gonna try to point the finger at the
Speaker 3: Trump administration for literally everything, even if it doesn't make
Speaker 3: any sense. Said. Road repairs account for sixty two percent
Speaker 3: of the total fifty six million dollars from the railroad
Speaker 3: payment this year. Tom Brakman, remember Ham citizens opposed to
Speaker 3: additional spending and taxes. Talking with Channel twelve about this,
Speaker 3: former state lawmaker advocated more of the funds to be
Speaker 3: allocated to road repair given the poor condition of many
Speaker 3: city streets. Quote to me, that to me is infrastructure.
Speaker 3: That's what they should be spending their time on, and
Speaker 3: not on what I would call frills. That if they're needed,
Speaker 3: they're needed because irresponsible maintenance pur of all, for his part,
Speaker 3: emphasized the city is adhering to the state's legal definition
Speaker 3: of infrastructure, which is rec centers, police stations, and other
Speaker 3: non road items. So yeah, it can have a whole
Speaker 3: bunch of different things that might constitute under the legal
Speaker 3: definition of infrastructure. But when our roads are falling apart,
Speaker 3: don't you think you should prioritize the roads? And I
Speaker 3: think that's Brickman's point. Purvall said, this idea that we
Speaker 3: can just focus on one problem with resources. We have
Speaker 3: road miles to the detriment of the status of our
Speaker 3: rec centers, our parks, and our health centers. That's the
Speaker 3: reason why this whack a mole approach. We're in this
Speaker 3: problem in the first place. What about the street car?
Speaker 3: What about all the environmental green projects you're spending city
Speaker 3: dollars on. And speaking of police stations, Joe, didn't we
Speaker 3: have some police stations that were literally dilabidated, falling apart.
Speaker 3: Police been screaming and yelling about these terrible police stations
Speaker 3: placed in the wrong. Ah, we could go on for
Speaker 3: you go back years on that one. They didn't do
Speaker 3: anything about it in prior years. Retort from Brickman. Infrastructure
Speaker 3: to me is roads and bridges. Roads and bridges, not
Speaker 3: fancy bike trails, not signs that say welcome to sird Aamsville.
Speaker 3: Those to me are frills and compared to the needs
Speaker 3: of the roads, I would have to agree with mister
Speaker 3: Brickman on that one. Also, the Western Hills Viaduct has
Speaker 3: got a lot more expensive. Three years ago they said
Speaker 3: it was three hundred ninety eight million dollars to raise
Speaker 3: the existing ninety three year old viatoc and build a
Speaker 3: new one. Last year, when they had their hand out
Speaker 3: to the federal government, they said the price would be
Speaker 3: nine hundred million dollars. Now they're saying, well, since the
Speaker 3: federal money was turned down, the final price isn't going
Speaker 3: to be that high, but they won't know the new
Speaker 3: total until they complete their next cost analysis, expected by
Speaker 3: the end of the summer. We need another cost analysis.
Speaker 3: We've been talking about replacing the Westerns Violin of Harris
Speaker 3: since two thousand and seven, and that's when the structure
Speaker 3: was declared functionally obsolete. In twenty seventeen. Ten years later,
Speaker 3: they hired a San Francisco firm to design the replacement
Speaker 3: for the viaduct, which was unveiled in twenty twenty. Three
Speaker 3: years later. Fast forward to twenty twenty one, city said
Speaker 3: taking down the existing viaduct and erecting the new one
Speaker 3: would cost three hundred and thirty five million. By twenty
Speaker 3: twenty two, the price jumped to three hundred and ninety
Speaker 3: eight million, aiming to build the new span of the
Speaker 3: Queen's Gate rail next year and take down the old
Speaker 3: one by twenty thirty two. Anybody have any any belief
Speaker 3: that those calendar years are going to hold, enquire reporting,
Speaker 3: the city applied for a five hundred and one million
Speaker 3: dollars is the Federal Multi Modal Project Discretionary. Last May.
Speaker 3: Application showed the dollars would come on top of more
Speaker 3: than one hundred and fifty seven million promised from federal sources.
Speaker 3: Put in the funding it again nine hundred million dollars.
Speaker 3: Total figure reflects six hundred and twenty million dollars to
Speaker 3: build the new bridge ninety six point nine million to
Speaker 3: take down the old one. Last October, the city officials
Speaker 3: learned that, well, you're not getting federal dollars now. They
Speaker 3: don't believe the project will actually be nine hundred million dollars,
Speaker 3: So why did they seek more? Ask the Enquirer, are
Speaker 3: you ready to absorb anticipated inflation? The rising prices steel,
Speaker 3: other building materials in labor are among the quote main
Speaker 3: factors for the cost increases. That's the core of the
Speaker 3: city's application for federal bucks. Here you go to pay
Speaker 3: for quote potential future light rail or street cars. And
Speaker 3: on the new bridge, well that's where your additional costs
Speaker 3: might show up. Right, They still are longing for additional streetcars.
Speaker 3: DC's giving up on that. They went with buses this
Speaker 3: time around. They wanted to expand the streetcar lines. They
Speaker 3: use buses or planning on using buses, which can be
Speaker 3: purchased at a fraction of the costs of the streetcars.
Speaker 3: Those street cars in DC were priced at eleven million
Speaker 3: bucks a pop. I think it was West Side Jim
Speaker 3: who's on the phone, who's calling going to take after
Speaker 3: the break here said he learned and knows that the
Speaker 3: price of a bus is more like a quarter of
Speaker 3: a million dollars, so you get much more bang for
Speaker 3: your buck, and it's flexible. Five twenty six fifty five
Speaker 3: kres to Detalk Station west Side Gym hang on, looking
Speaker 3: forward to hearing from our talking with you. Got to
Speaker 3: take a break.
Speaker 4: This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio Station.
Speaker 3: Five twenty nine on a Monday, and a happy one
Speaker 3: to you. Five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty five
Speaker 3: eight eight two to three talk found if I fifty
Speaker 3: on at and t Bones Well, Sai Jim. Good to
Speaker 3: hear from you. Thanks for holding over the breake there,
Speaker 3: my friend.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Brian Thomas. How are you this morning, sir?
Speaker 3: I'm awake.
Speaker 5: That's about the way I think about it too. You know,
Speaker 5: I won't even touch the viadoc because that's been a
Speaker 5: joke since actually two thousand and two when Chris Monzel
Speaker 5: started pushing for that. But on the streets, you know,
Speaker 5: they should have subcontract this thing out a long time
Speaker 5: ago and we'd be driving on nice paying streets. There's
Speaker 5: that seating project up at up there on Go High Pike,
Speaker 5: and within the year they tore down five houses, cleared
Speaker 5: the land, and this thing is going to be an
Speaker 5: incredible sports complex for the seat and girls, and it's
Speaker 5: going to be open within a year. And it's seventeen
Speaker 5: million dollars and you should see that. The earth movers
Speaker 5: and everything else that goes along with this. The city
Speaker 5: went through Republican councils and Democrat councils and they, just
Speaker 5: like you said, push it down the road. And nobody
Speaker 5: wants to touch this because they don't know what the
Speaker 5: hell they're doing. And nobody can approve anything down there
Speaker 5: without seventeen different studies, and they're afraid to, you know,
Speaker 5: put the pen to the paper on this thing.
Speaker 3: Well, can they bound something off your head? Clearly the
Speaker 3: work can be done if they put their hearts and
Speaker 3: minds to it, if they allocate the dollars and just
Speaker 3: say start here and let's just get going on it.
Speaker 3: So like the seat and project, it can be done.
Speaker 3: Do you think given the what we know about aftab
Speaker 3: pervol and the left leaning Democrat councils all being all
Speaker 3: about green and fifteen minute cities, that they're just intentionally
Speaker 3: letting the growths go to crap because they don't want
Speaker 3: people driving around in cars. I mean, just the theory.
Speaker 1: That might be part of it.
Speaker 5: I think that's kind of a stretch because of the
Speaker 5: complaints that they're getting. Plus, one of these days the
Speaker 5: voters will wake up and actually get people in there
Speaker 5: that might not be politicians or career politicians and actually
Speaker 5: get something done, you know.
Speaker 1: Building type people.
Speaker 5: If somebody would run on that and get a slay together,
Speaker 5: I think that they could actually you know, put put
Speaker 5: together a nice conglomerate of people to get something done.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Maybe I only throw that out there because this,
Speaker 3: this is just getting out of hand. The neglect of
Speaker 3: these roads has been going on for decades. I mean,
Speaker 3: this isn't just a new phenomenon brought about by Trump's
Speaker 3: tariffs and federal policies, as Burwall wants to suggest.
Speaker 1: That's an excuse.
Speaker 5: But yeah, they got streets terrible things, the stupid street
Speaker 5: calling things that they put up within like six months everywhere.
Speaker 5: And also it does is back up traffic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it may.
Speaker 5: Calm a couple of cars down from flying up and
Speaker 5: down with no mufflers on it somewhere, but that's because
Speaker 5: the mufflers have been knocked off on the street calling things.
Speaker 5: But my god, I mean, if you drive on the
Speaker 5: western side of town, I don't know how it is
Speaker 5: on the east. But there are the stupid plastic things everywhere.
Speaker 5: And I don't know what the cost of one of
Speaker 5: those little pump things are, but they're not calming anything down.
Speaker 5: If you know how to hit those things right, you
Speaker 5: can just go right over it, you know whatever. Thirty
Speaker 5: five forty miles an.
Speaker 3: Hour, I know, those are popping up all over the place.
Speaker 3: And just because people drive like idiots. I mean, if
Speaker 3: people just paid attention to the speed limits. We wouldn't
Speaker 3: have to deal with those damn things.
Speaker 5: Hey, Brian, I know I'm running out of time here,
Speaker 5: but Sam Beltos from Prycell Chili passed away side. I
Speaker 5: thought of your father because he died of Alzheimer's. But
Speaker 5: you know, this man had this thing for like three years. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: and he hasn't been around. But that's the first thing
Speaker 5: I thought of a long time ago, as was your
Speaker 5: dad on this stuff.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he did pass away, and.
Speaker 5: I just want to throw that out there and my
Speaker 5: condolences to the family. And it's a sad side, sad
Speaker 5: story for the West Side.
Speaker 3: He was eighty eight years old, yes, sir, So we've
Speaker 3: been there many times, only once or twice found a
Speaker 3: priceal Chili September nineteen sixty two. So his I guess
Speaker 3: his kids are running the ship and they can plan
Speaker 3: on continuing carrying the torch for the family run business.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the youngest son had died years ago from cancer
Speaker 5: and there's the oldest son running it.
Speaker 1: And it's going to continue.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 1: The rumors that have moved to the East Side is
Speaker 1: not going to happen.
Speaker 5: But that's just a skit for the radio talking personalities,
Speaker 5: but it's going to run and you know, no funeral
Speaker 5: arrangements have been made yet, but it's going to be
Speaker 5: opened up until probably that day because you know, people
Speaker 5: over here they respect Sam and he did a great
Speaker 5: job of handling everybody in the dignitaries that I've been there.
Speaker 5: I knew that man for forty five years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess he spent a lot of time at
Speaker 3: the restaurant too, according to the reporting from Fox nineteen
Speaker 3: that I ready with the.
Speaker 1: Exception of the morning until whenever.
Speaker 3: Yep, that's a committed, dedicated man. He had a successful
Speaker 3: business and it's a sorry, sorry thing that he ended
Speaker 3: up having to do with Alzheimer's. But eighty eight, that's
Speaker 3: a ripe old age. Quite a right.
Speaker 1: Thank you for letting me throw that out there.
Speaker 3: Happy to do it, man. It was in my local news.
Speaker 3: I probably would have gotten to it anyway, but you
Speaker 3: brought it up and we got the information out there.
Speaker 3: So rest in p sim Beltzoz, founder of Price Ill Chili,
Speaker 3: died yesterday. Thanks Jim. Always a pleasure hearing from you.

Speaker 3: But you can feel free to call if you prefer
Speaker 3: five hund three seven four nine to fifty five hundred,
Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty two three five. Joe, you had
Speaker 3: the story and the stack of stupid. I had mine
Speaker 3: the same story in a stack that I was going
Speaker 3: to get to during the main content. But it's perfect
Speaker 3: for the Stack of Stupid. And this is just a
Speaker 3: scary thing from my standpoint, And we are doing our
Speaker 3: children such a huge disservice in public schools. Most notably,
Speaker 3: we turned to San Francisco. I can't believe this is
Speaker 3: actually a thing. San Francisco's public school system rolling out
Speaker 3: a what they call Grading for Equity program, which will
Speaker 3: exclude homework or weekly tests from final grades. It allow
Speaker 3: students to pass with scores as low as twenty one
Speaker 3: out of one hundred. Last week, Superintendent Schools Maria Sue
Speaker 3: rolled out the program, taking effect this fall at fourteen
Speaker 3: public high schools, affecting more than ten thousand students. This
Speaker 3: was reported the Voice of San Francisco. Undergrading for Equity
Speaker 3: semester grades depend entirely on a single final exam that
Speaker 3: can be retaken multiple times, even if students skip assignments
Speaker 3: or failed to attend class. The superintendent didn't seek approval
Speaker 3: from the San Francisco Board of Education before announcing this overhaul.
Speaker 3: Court of the Voice or staff has told board members
Speaker 3: that they have no authority to reject the plan. She
Speaker 3: made the announcement the final week of spring semester. His
Speaker 3: parents were weighing whether to keep their children in San
Speaker 3: Francisco's public schools this fall and probably not. It's reported
Speaker 3: the district is facing over one hundred and ten million
Speaker 3: dollars in budget cuts amid declining student enrollment and mounting
Speaker 3: concerns about academic standards, Well they just got increased. District
Speaker 3: faced backlash last year after then Superintendent Matt Wayne paid
Speaker 3: a Stanford University professor thirty thousand dollars to create an
Speaker 3: equity centered formula for deciding which schools to shutter. Parents
Speaker 3: argue that the formula rewarded poor performing Black and Hispanic
Speaker 3: schools while targeting low income, high achieving Asian children. That
Speaker 3: from a report from the Washington Free Beacon that prompted
Speaker 3: him to resign in October last year. Superintendent sues grading
Speaker 3: for equity system will allow students to earn an A
Speaker 3: with a score of eighty, a C with a score
Speaker 3: of forty one, and you get a D if you
Speaker 3: get just twenty one out of one hundred. Under the
Speaker 3: current grading system, students need at least a ninety for
Speaker 3: an A and at least a sixty one for a D,
Speaker 3: which is more in line with the grading system that
Speaker 3: I had when I was younger. I think you needed
Speaker 3: a ninety three for an A when I was in school. Regardless,
Speaker 3: you get a D for twenty one out of one hundred,
Speaker 3: that's scary. That's sad too. The dumbing down of America.
Speaker 3: You create a bunch of useful idiots with no logical
Speaker 3: or critical thinking skills. Go to Maryland with the police
Speaker 3: chief is calling for greater accountability. In the case of
Speaker 3: a group of teens, ah teens did probably graduated with
Speaker 3: the twenty one They were accused of breaking into one
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty one cars one night what Laurel police
Speaker 3: arrested a sixteen year old boy in connection with the
Speaker 3: car break ins, which happened in the night of May fifth.
Speaker 3: He and two other teens smashed car windows to old
Speaker 3: items from fifty four cars and Laurel and sixty seven
Speaker 3: more in Prince George's and Arundel and Howard Counties. According
Speaker 3: to Laurel Police Chief Russ Hammill speaking with local news,
Speaker 3: they were just simply going through neighborhoods and targeting for
Speaker 3: opportunity breaking into cars. If there was something in there,
Speaker 3: they'd steal. If there was nothing in there, they'd moved
Speaker 3: to another car. Video from the night shows two suspects
Speaker 3: walking car to car in a parking lot, using flashlights
Speaker 3: to look inside. Thirst suspect driving a car close by
Speaker 3: in case they needed to escape. A corner to the
Speaker 3: chief that car was a stolen car. Investigators found the
Speaker 3: keys of the stolen car in keys to twenty five
Speaker 3: other cars during a search warrant at the sixteen year
Speaker 3: old suspects home in Beltsville. They also found several stolen items.
Speaker 3: Five hour after resting the teen, police had to release him.
Speaker 3: Chief said, no, this isn't Hamilton County, but it was
Speaker 3: a good guest. You might lean that direction, Joe said
Speaker 3: during a news conference. He was released back into the community,
Speaker 3: back into the environment that allowed him to be out
Speaker 3: roaming streets in all of these counties late at night
Speaker 3: and in the early morning. Why are you doing that?
Speaker 3: No idea. Maryland Department of Juvenile Services did not i
Speaker 3: the the request the detectives in the State Attorney's office,
Speaker 3: saying the team didn't have a prior record and the
Speaker 3: crimes weren't violent. Whatever admonished by the police chief. We
Speaker 3: don't do this lightly. We don't ask for young people
Speaker 3: to be held on a whim. We do so to
Speaker 3: help the protect the community and them. I have little
Speaker 3: hope there will be any further accountability for him due
Speaker 3: to this broken system, he said. Other Some might consider
Speaker 3: the car break in's lower level crime and greatly affect
Speaker 3: the victims who often have to pay hundreds of dollars
Speaker 3: on their insurance deductibles and miswork because they don't have
Speaker 3: a usable car. He said, I had one woman stop
Speaker 3: me and mention me that this is the third time
Speaker 3: this has happened to her car, and because the deductible
Speaker 3: was so high, she had to make adjustments in her home,
Speaker 3: including the purchase of food. Five point forty six fifty

Speaker 3: of stupid this morning. Austin Township. Austin town Township, I
Speaker 3: should more properly. State man accused of posing as a
Speaker 3: Dwault sales rep and attempting to leave home depot was
Speaker 3: stolen good. According to the Youngstown area news station WFMJ
Speaker 3: Joshua T. Hughey, thirty seven years old, Warren taken him
Speaker 3: to custody after he allegedly attempted to roll a flatbed
Speaker 3: cart load of with tools out of the home Depot
Speaker 3: in Austin Town without paying. Authorities responded to the home

Speaker 3: They said Hughey was accused of taking bolt cutters from
Speaker 3: another aisle and breaking a lock on a gate containing
Speaker 3: the power tools, of course damaging the gate. He then
Speaker 3: loaded up an entire flatbed cart with twenty three pieces
Speaker 3: of merchandise including Dewault made batteries, grinders, blowers, saws, then
Speaker 3: try to walk out with that pain total value the
Speaker 3: gathered merchandise four and ten dollars and forty nine cents.
Speaker 3: Authorities impounded Huey's jeep, took several items into evidence, including
Speaker 3: the bold cutters, and he used a tool bag with
Speaker 3: parts and tools, clipboard with papers, book bag, knife receipts,
Speaker 3: a broken lock. He's been charged with theft, which is
Speaker 3: a felony, possession of criminal tools, and vandalism. The aristocratic
Speaker 3: pretty much go to Fort Myers, Florida, where the Cape
Speaker 3: Coral residents have been dealing with what they described as
Speaker 3: an unwelcome visitor, a muscovie duck. US fish and Wildlife
Speaker 3: Service to the Muscovy ducks are known for being aggressive
Speaker 3: and damaging property, as well as transmitting disease not native,
Speaker 3: though thousands can be found to hold across the entire
Speaker 3: state of Flow, Orlando, the largest population. A neighbor who
Speaker 3: moved there in ninety eight, James Seblvita, interviewed, showed the
Speaker 3: hand that the duck had been. He guess I set
Speaker 3: up my porch between seven and seven thirty this time
Speaker 3: of a year to catch the sunset, you know, some
Speaker 3: sun I had my eyes closed. All of a sudden,
Speaker 3: I felt a jab on my hand and it was bleeding.
Speaker 3: Wildlife Service issue to control order allowing the management of
Speaker 3: muscovy ducks their nests and eggs in areas outside of
Speaker 3: the natural range. Another neighbor also attacked by the duck.
Speaker 10: What the hell?
Speaker 3: So they stood up and made some noises, thinking it
Speaker 3: would go away, like go away, duck. You know, next
Speaker 3: thing you know, it's wings come out, like it's going
Speaker 3: to attack me. Commissions said the ducks can be humanely
Speaker 3: killed or donated for educational purposes. What's that supposed to mean?
Speaker 3: I think I show up at a school with a
Speaker 3: captured duck. Yeah, go to Hawaii. Badcrap and saying they
Speaker 3: are legislators in Hawaii implementing a hefty tax on tourism
Speaker 3: that they believe will help the state government take action
Speaker 3: against climate change, because we all know that little state
Speaker 3: of Hawaii has a profound impact on the climate, and
Speaker 3: if they reduce their emissions, they're going to save the
Speaker 3: entire world, notwithstanding China and all the other countries that
Speaker 3: don't pay. At witsworth of attention to this courted to
Speaker 3: widely released press announcements on multiple outlets. Hawaii Governor Josh
Speaker 3: Green signed the bill Tuesday, May twenty seventh, increasing the
Speaker 3: tax on hotel rooms, vacation rentals, and cruise ships to
Speaker 3: raise money to be used for issues such as eroding shorelines, wildfires,
Speaker 3: and more. It's called a Green Fee Act ninety six
Speaker 3: raise the state's current transient accommodation tax zero point seventy
Speaker 3: five percent, making the taxes on nightly lodging rates eleven percent.
Speaker 3: Travelers will have to pay a fee based on the
Speaker 3: nightly rate of their travel accommodations. For example, if you're
Speaker 3: staying at a hotel room that's three hundred bucks, you're
Speaker 3: gonna have to pay a two dollars and twenty five
Speaker 3: cent fee. Green said in a statement, once again, Hawaii
Speaker 3: is at the forefront of protecting our natural resources, recognizing
Speaker 3: their fundamental role in sustaining the ecological, cultural, and economic
Speaker 3: health of Hawaii as an island chain. Hawaii cannot wait
Speaker 3: for the next disaster to hit before taking action. We
Speaker 3: must build resiliency now, and the Green fee will provide
Speaker 3: the necessary financing to ensure resources are available for our
Speaker 3: future idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. You know
Speaker 3: what this is just using the so called a climate
Speaker 3: change agenda for them to exact more money out of well,
Speaker 3: in this particular case, tourists who visit there because they
Speaker 3: apparently don't have the finances in line and their state
Speaker 3: government budgets to deal with any other issues that they

Speaker 3: James trying to maximize the return on our investments, and
Speaker 3: I have forgot some. Let's see here since I mentioned
Speaker 3: the Hawaii implementing a climate change tax, as if Hawaii
Speaker 3: could have any impact on global climate change. Again just
Speaker 3: an excuse and a mechanism do exact more money out
Speaker 3: of people, but also leading us to a potentially night
Speaker 3: marriage situation because renewables aren't reliable, so all learned when
Speaker 3: can't handle it? And I found this off at Peace
Speaker 3: and I thought it quite remarkable. Puts a big, fat,
Speaker 3: giant exclamation point of the point I just made. Gary
Speaker 3: Abernethy is a commentator headline reliance on renewables makes widespread
Speaker 3: blackout nightmare more likely, and it is an interesting exclamation point.
Speaker 3: He puts on this using a real life illustration from
Speaker 3: Spain and Portugal back in late April. Imagine taking the
Speaker 3: subway to work, and then the train comes to a
Speaker 3: sudden halt halfway between scheduled stops. You pull out your
Speaker 3: smartphone to go online to see what the problem is,
Speaker 3: but you have no reception, no cell signal, no Internet.
Speaker 3: Hours later, rescue workers show up to extract you and
Speaker 3: your fellow passengers from the stalled train. You make your
Speaker 3: way to the street in hopes of taking a taxi
Speaker 3: or an uber. Without your phone apps and with credit
Speaker 3: card machines inoperable, you are forced to search for an ATM,
Speaker 3: only to discover that those aren't working either. You soon
Speaker 3: realize that everyone else is in the same predicament. Hospitals
Speaker 3: operating on emergency backup systems, people trapped inside elevators. God,
Speaker 3: that's a freaky reality, isn't it. Traffic snarl do to
Speaker 3: inoperable stop lights, gas station pumps not functioning, airport terminals closed,
Speaker 3: people in darkened homes desperately searching for candles and battery
Speaker 3: operated radios to learn what's happening. On April twenty eighth,
Speaker 3: the residents of Spain, Portugal and parts of France didn't
Speaker 3: have to try to imagine this nightmare scenario. They found
Speaker 3: themselves prisoners of it for hours when an unprecedented blackout
Speaker 3: impacted at least fifty five million people after the Iberian
Speaker 3: Peninsula electric goods system failed. The outage, described as one
Speaker 3: of the worst ever in Europe, disrupted businesses, hospitals, transit systems,
Speaker 3: Cello networks, another critical infrastructure, according to the well local
Speaker 3: news there specifically in this case, France twenty four News.
Speaker 3: Many news agencies, particularly in the United States, insisted for
Speaker 3: days that it was too early to say what had
Speaker 3: caused the massive blackout. Others, though acknowledged the obvious. The
Speaker 3: Reuters news agency reported early on Redia, which owns Red Electrica,
Speaker 3: had warned in February in its report that it faced
Speaker 3: a risk of disconnections due to the high penetration of
Speaker 3: renewables without the technical capacities necessary for an adequate response
Speaker 3: in the face of disturbances. While many observers did their
Speaker 3: best to point fingers at an alternative cause, others were
Speaker 3: more straightforward and identifying the culprit. Raoul Bajo Buenstado, a
Speaker 3: non resident energy scholar Rice University's Baker Institute for Public
Speaker 3: Policy in Houston, got a Fulbright Scholarship graduate student grant
Speaker 3: for young researchers from Spain's Ministry of Education PhD in
Speaker 3: economics from Rice, primarily working on generation, investment incentives and
Speaker 3: capacity markets in the electricity sector. Also conducts research on
Speaker 3: gasoline retail markets. That's according to his biography, anyway. After
Speaker 3: this guy studied the April twenty eighth blackout data, he
Speaker 3: authored a commentary, including that mere minutes prior to the
Speaker 3: grid collapse, renewable sources accounted for seventy eight percent of
Speaker 3: the ELECTRICICYD generation in the Iberian Peninsula grid system, with
Speaker 3: solar alone contributing to nearly sixty percent. By contrast, conventional
Speaker 3: technologies like gas fired and nuclear power plants comprised only
Speaker 3: fifteen percent of the total generation mix. This configuration is
Speaker 3: not unusual in Spain or Portugal, where high shares of
Speaker 3: renewable generation are common, particularly during the sunny and windy days.
Speaker 3: He added, What sets April twenty eighth apart, however, is that,
Speaker 3: according to Spain's National Electricity Grid Opera Radar red Electrica,
Speaker 3: two consecutive generation loss events occurred in southwestern Spain, likely
Speaker 3: involving large solar installations. He noted the risk of a
Speaker 3: large scale blackout in electricity systems with high shares of
Speaker 3: renewable energy is well established. However, the Iberian blackout of
Speaker 3: April twenty eighth brings these long recognized vulnerabilities into sharp
Speaker 3: focus that, unlike conventional power plants, solar and wind installations
Speaker 3: depend on a stable grid to function correctly and can't
Speaker 3: autonomously support grid stability during disturbances, which of course demonstrated
Speaker 3: by that blackout. Before Donald Trump reversed the previous administration's
Speaker 3: war on fossil fuels, Biden had committed the United States
Speaker 3: through reaching one hundred percent clean electricity by twenty thirty five,
Speaker 3: a goal that seriously imperiled our own infrastructure. Biden's corresponding
Speaker 3: attacks on affordable and reliable energy sources like natural gas,
Speaker 3: were unrealistic and unpopular with many consumers, who preferred gas
Speaker 3: appliances and heating sources over those that would be allowable
Speaker 3: under federal mandates. Likewise, Spain is currently aiming to phase
Speaker 3: out fossil fuel and nuclear generation in favor of renewables,
Speaker 3: with the goal of renewables comprising seventy four percent of
Speaker 3: the total output by twenty thirty Under their plan, the
Speaker 3: insistence of replacing affordable, dependable energy with more expensive and
Speaker 3: unreliable alternatives is both illogical and impractical. Natural gas remains
Speaker 3: the most cost effective, reliable, and increasingly clean fuel choice
Speaker 3: in the world. It's telling that, despite the Spanish government's
Speaker 3: anti fossil fuel rhetoric, the US recently became the main
Speaker 3: supplier of liquefied gas to Spain. Much of Europe, mimicking
Speaker 3: extremist climate change rhetoric publicly decry as America's continued production
Speaker 3: and use of the traditional energy while simultaneously gobbling it up.
Speaker 3: As long as it's the point I've made that before,
Speaker 3: as long as they're not the ones pulling it out
Speaker 3: of the ground, they'll go ahead and use it. It's
Speaker 3: like they think that somehow virtue signaling that they're not
Speaker 3: getting their own gas out of their own region and
Speaker 3: using it for their own purposes. Now, what is buy
Speaker 3: from the United States and claim that we have clean
Speaker 3: hands anyway? Author questions will the disaster of April twenty
Speaker 3: eighth make European leaders think twice about abandoning their most
Speaker 3: reliable energy sources. Hardly following the devastating blackout, Spanish Prime
Speaker 3: Minister Pedro Sanchez said his government would not quote deviate
Speaker 3: a single millimeter close quote from its plans of transition
Speaker 3: to so called renewables. That's unfortunate. In the meantime, it
Speaker 3: is worth noting that one of the primary sources of
Speaker 3: energy used to restore electricity to tens of millions in Spain,
Speaker 3: Portugal and parts of France who lost power was the
Speaker 3: one that officials claimed to abhor, natural gas. The point
Speaker 3: being how did they get their lights back on, how
Speaker 3: did the subways start running? How do people trapped in
Speaker 3: elevators ultimately get out of the elevators when the power
Speaker 3: came on. Is because they did have access to natural
Speaker 3: gas power plants, just not in sufficient quantities. This is,
Speaker 3: you know, and I don't have to go into the
Speaker 3: details of it, but I've always suspected, you know, because
Speaker 3: the Chinese don't give a damn about the environment, at
Speaker 3: least in terms of belching out you know, coal fired
Speaker 3: production of electricity. But they'll sell us all the green
Speaker 3: stuff that we can gobble up. Based upon edicts and
Speaker 3: mandates from the federal governmor refer you back to Joe
Speaker 3: Biden's you know, limiting the type of stove you can
Speaker 3: have in your house. Good ideas don't require force. But
Speaker 3: there's a nonprofit funded by Chinese government that was written up.
Speaker 3: Where did I find this? A Daily caller wrote it up.
Speaker 3: Chinese American Planning Council, and they advocate for this green crap,
Speaker 3: and specifically New York's super Fun Climates, super Fun requiring
Speaker 3: energy companies, the energy producers of the world, the gas
Speaker 3: and the oil companies, to cough up seventy five billion
Speaker 3: dollars to fund YEP green initiatives. And all this money
Speaker 3: flowed into this from various Chinese Communist Party affiliated entities.
Speaker 3: They're pushing for the money. That money will go for
Speaker 3: more green projects, it will go to creating a situation
Speaker 3: like they experienced that I just mentioned from in Spain,
Speaker 3: in France and Portugal, and they tell you this bill
Speaker 3: of goods, like well, this isn't going to cost the consumer,
Speaker 3: this is going to cost the energy companies. They're going
Speaker 3: to want to pay the billions of dollars into this
Speaker 3: program so we can get green stuff. But don't you
Speaker 3: think that that's a cost that would be passed on
Speaker 3: to those of us And the vast majority of us
Speaker 3: are still use gasoline and natural gas, etc. Of course
Speaker 3: it will be. So I just keep viewing this as
Speaker 3: there's this nefarious component behind it. Chinese Communist Party dominates
Speaker 3: the Internet, They're on TikTok, they're on Facebook, They're everywhere,
Speaker 3: and they can propel and perpetuate this nonsensical thing that
Speaker 3: carbon diete side is bad for us, it's bad for
Speaker 3: the globe when it happens to be plant food and
Speaker 3: then we bend over backwards to avoid producing carbon dioxide
Speaker 3: in our energy production and everything else, taking away our
Speaker 3: fertilizers for food, all the things that help us live efficient,
Speaker 3: comfortable and cozy lives and also create more instability in
Speaker 3: our grid when we pursue them. And we recently find
Speaker 3: out that Chinese Communist Party has installed remote listening and
Speaker 3: connection devices operated through the grid the solar panels themselves
Speaker 3: that we buy from them. Flip a switch and they're off.
Speaker 3: You don't have to wait for some nightmares situation like
Speaker 3: happen in Portugal and Spain where the grid got overwhelmed
Speaker 3: and two separate events happened at the same time. And
Speaker 3: have they gotten to the bottom of those two separate events?
Speaker 3: Could it possibly be since we know now the Chinese
Speaker 3: Communist Party has a way of communicating and connecting with
Speaker 3: and otherwise disturbing the solar panels that maybe, just maybe
Speaker 3: that they're behind that. It's certainly a possibility, given that
Speaker 3: that technology exists. I've always said it, now say it again.
Speaker 3: You'll know the day that Taiwan is attacked by the
Speaker 3: Chinese when the lights go out and you are stuck
Speaker 3: on an elevator five three, seven, nine fifty five hundred,

Speaker 3: Scott was listening talking about as Hawaiian climate taxes they're implementing.
Speaker 3: Excellent points, guy, He said, maybe those taxes will enable
Speaker 3: Hawaii to install some scrubbers on that volcano they have there. Yeah,
Speaker 3: install a carbon capture system on a volcano. Remind me
Speaker 3: of the comment that many people, the scientists are I've
Speaker 3: died after the California wildfires that they endure. This is
Speaker 3: prior to the Los Angeles wirefire. But same kind of
Speaker 3: thing that the amount of carbon and pollutants belched out
Speaker 3: by those fires negated all of the carbon capture efforts
Speaker 3: that we had engaged in to date. Mother nature plays
Speaker 3: an interesting role in that, doesn't she anyway? Speaking to revolt,
Speaker 3: this is sort of a tied end to it. If
Speaker 3: you speak up loudly and tell you're elected officials you're
Speaker 3: not going to have it, sometimes they'll actually listen to you.
Speaker 3: France wanted sixty six percent new car sales to be
Speaker 3: electric by twenty thirty, and earlier this year they expanded
Speaker 3: their low emission zone scheme to restrict older gas power
Speaker 3: vehicles from driving in any city with more than one
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty thousand residents, with violators facing hefty fines.
Speaker 3: So you can't drive your old car in the city. Period.
Speaker 3: Editorial board of the Journal q the public backlash. Not
Speaker 3: everyone in France can afford a shiny new low emission car,
Speaker 3: and most still have to get around town. National Assembly
Speaker 3: got the message and last Wednesday voted ninety eight to
Speaker 3: fifty one to scrap the low emission zones. A victory
Speaker 3: for the regular guy and for common sense, not the
Speaker 3: only thing that they're trying to do in France, driving
Speaker 3: restrictions among the many coercive components of France's brought a
Speaker 3: climate agenda. Tell me if these don't sound familiar. They
Speaker 3: want the French to carpool more, take fewer trips abroad,

Speaker 3: have been down in the city of Cincinnati. Although what
Speaker 3: is up a what is described as a concerning rise
Speaker 3: and stolen firearms, particularly from vehicles. Between May and August
Speaker 3: last year, stolen guns shot up fifty four percent, and
Speaker 3: there's a five percent increase in car thefts by juveniles
Speaker 3: compared to the prior year. You might want to consider
Speaker 3: locking your firearm up. Let's see what Tom's got this morning. Tom,
Speaker 3: thanks for calling the Morning Show. Happy Monday to you, sir.
Speaker 12: Happy Monday to you.
Speaker 6: I think on this Western Hills Viaduct, well we get it,
Speaker 6: get the thing built, and then put a toll charge
Speaker 6: on that thing, and maybe like.
Speaker 3: Don't you go.
Speaker 6: Out on the east coast and you cross over that
Speaker 6: Bay bridge that's like seven bucks or something across that.
Speaker 3: Well, how about the city of Cincinnati more responsibly direct
Speaker 3: spending so that we don't have to tax the people
Speaker 3: that are going over to the West side. I mean,
Speaker 3: I don't have to pay don't have to pay any
Speaker 3: money to get up into Hyde Park or into downtown
Speaker 3: Cincinnati or any the other areas I go.
Speaker 6: Paint in the streets with murals.
Speaker 3: Oh there's an idea. Hey, every little bit counts, Tom,
Speaker 3: every little bit counts. I wish they'd steer clear of
Speaker 3: all these nonsensical Green New Deal projects too, that they
Speaker 3: pursue with neckless abandon that comes at a significant cost.
Speaker 3: All these non governmental organizations being funded with taxpayer dollars
Speaker 3: and god knows what we get in return for that money.
Speaker 3: But I'd rather be put to something like either the
Speaker 3: Brent spent really the viaduct project or repairing the roads.
Speaker 3: Clearly the roads need it. Let's see what New Hampshire
Speaker 3: Gary's got. New Hampshire, Gary. Happy Monday to you, my friend.
Speaker 3: Always good to hear from you.
Speaker 12: Happy Monday to you too, Brian. Hey, I got to
Speaker 12: tell you, I'm really impressed with this Ukraine attack. I
Speaker 12: think this is a game changer for throughout the history
Speaker 12: of warfare, because everything in the military has always set
Speaker 12: up dress, right dress. I was aviation and all our
Speaker 12: aircraft were always part well spread apart. You know, these
Speaker 12: new drones for you know whatever, they cost one hundred
Speaker 12: bucks and I don't know, have you seen the video
Speaker 12: footage of them. They're just like ducks in a row
Speaker 12: with swarm technology on the thrones. Yeah, and they didn't
Speaker 12: have a chance. No, they didn't have a chance.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, you would reminded me of a little
Speaker 3: bit Gary was Pearl Harbor. All our ships are all
Speaker 3: wind up in a row. Convenient, I mean, and we
Speaker 3: didn't have modern technology and the Japs didn't have modern
Speaker 3: technology with bombs back then. You stay there. They all
Speaker 3: were in concentration, and so a swarm of drones obviously
Speaker 3: can go to a larger area of land and even
Speaker 3: if you move them, you know, I guess somewhat more
Speaker 3: significantly apart, it makes it easy to hit. And the
Speaker 3: idea that they were able to sneak all these inexpensive
Speaker 3: drones in and get them very close to the airfields
Speaker 3: they attacked. I don't know how they operated that, but
Speaker 3: that was amazing.
Speaker 12: Well, the thing that gets me, it's not just aircraft,
Speaker 12: it's the barracks where we are, it's the fuel tanks,
Speaker 12: it's everything, it's your civilian everything is now able to
Speaker 12: do this. And I don't know, did you hear how
Speaker 12: they got the little drones there with the little connexes
Speaker 12: and they parked them right next to the airport. They've
Speaker 12: been planning this for a year and a half now,
Speaker 12: the Chinese, the giant, all these foreign people in our
Speaker 12: country or even domestic people who hate our country. You know,
Speaker 12: it doesn't take much for an attack like that to
Speaker 12: the wide scale. While you're too busy over here putting
Speaker 12: out the fires, and they're going to attack over here.
Speaker 12: And you know, this changes the word in my mind,
Speaker 12: this changes the world.
Speaker 3: Drones period and the story of change the world. But
Speaker 3: this is the greatest illustration to prove your point, and
Speaker 3: there's no protecting yourself. I mean, doesn't have to fly
Speaker 3: very far to hit its target. You're not going to
Speaker 3: have time to operate one of these anti miss or
Speaker 3: anti drone defense systems, it would seem, you know, fly
Speaker 3: at low altitude, hit it in mass quantities. Maybe you
Speaker 3: lose a few of the drones on the way over
Speaker 3: to the to the target of the attack, but most
Speaker 3: of them get through apparently.
Speaker 12: I seem to remember a couple of years ago that
Speaker 12: the first mass drone attack that I can remember was
Speaker 12: a hooties. They threw some drones into an oil refinery
Speaker 12: made out of cardboard and plywood at the Saudi Arabia,
Speaker 12: and they did great damage to many of their refineries.
Speaker 12: And it's just like you can see this coming. I
Speaker 12: can see this coming, yep, and it's like, what do
Speaker 12: you do well?
Speaker 3: You know, I do not know, and you know this
Speaker 3: this this sort of your comments, along with prior comments
Speaker 3: that I've made an observation which aren't necessarily astute or unique.
Speaker 3: With the ten to twenty million illegal immigrants that came
Speaker 3: across our country, many of them on the terror watch list.
Speaker 3: Yet nonetheless we're allowed a mission to our country. They're
Speaker 3: all out there, and they're all embedded somewhere in our society.
Speaker 3: They haven't been deported yet. Now, if they have nefarious intents,
Speaker 3: they get their hands on one of these inexpensive drones,
Speaker 3: which you can buy on Amazon. I'm sure they figured
Speaker 3: out how to rig them with an explosive. They can
Speaker 3: keep those drones anywhere near any really critical target, like,
Speaker 3: for example, our electrical grid, targets, maybe an oil refinery
Speaker 3: or factory. Like you say, get close by, launch it
Speaker 3: from a van, and next thing you know, we've got
Speaker 3: a massive problem on our hands. I'm equally worried, my friend,
Speaker 3: equally worried. You got to get I'll tell you what though.
Speaker 3: What surprised me the most about this, This was four
Speaker 3: thousand kilometers one of the airbase that got hit by
Speaker 3: these drones, four thousand kilometers into Russia from at least
Speaker 3: Ukraine's border, and they hadn't been able to reach distances
Speaker 3: like that with any of the technology they had, so
Speaker 3: by getting them very close to the target, they were
Speaker 3: assured of hitting the target. But isn't it amazing that
Speaker 3: they were able to pull this off. You think the
Speaker 3: Russians would be more aware of what's going on. But
Speaker 3: you know, if Russia can't catch this, and they're able
Speaker 3: to put all these you know, these buildings that they had,
Speaker 3: the roofs that popped off, and the drones were here
Speaker 3: to be launched from them right there, really close to
Speaker 3: these air bases and they didn't catch it. Going back
Speaker 3: to my point, it very well could be going on
Speaker 3: right here, and to your point as well, scary six
Speaker 3: twenty eight. Right now, if you have kc DE talk station,
Speaker 3: got to be on our toes AH and Colon Electric
Speaker 3: for electric projects, Colin Electric, residential Electric, Think Colin. You're
Speaker 3: going to love the work that they do. Well oiled
Speaker 3: machine of Electricians licensed. Of course they are a plus
Speaker 3: of the Better Business Bureau. And Andrew Coulin is proud
Speaker 3: of what's been doing. Family owner operated since nineteen ninety nine,
Speaker 3: and they do pride themselves on that outstanding reputation. The
Speaker 3: price will be right, the work will be done to
Speaker 3: your satisfaction. You will get a ten year wiring warranty
Speaker 3: on whatever they're doing for you, wiring up your sound
Speaker 3: room and your media room, NOB and tube upgrades, aluminum
Speaker 3: wiring upgrades, installing outlets, can lights. If it's residential electric,
Speaker 3: you're in the best possible hands. That's why I use them.

Speaker 4: This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 3: Contact Tax Relief Helpers for details and restrictions. CD Talk station.
Speaker 3: Look a for the temperature. Now it's forty eight. I
Speaker 3: got it this morning it was sixty one and five
Speaker 3: minutes ago was fifty three, So it must be dropping
Speaker 3: or something. I don't know, maybe my temperature.
Speaker 1: Is just wrong.
Speaker 3: Apologies. If it is five one three, seven, four nine
Speaker 3: fifty five hundred eight hundred two three talk and you know,
Speaker 3: put as much confidence the weather forecasting as you like. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but here's the fun figures on the bombers that were
Speaker 3: blown up, the multiple aircraft that were blown up, and
Speaker 3: the drones. The newspaper reported that those FPV drones that
Speaker 3: the Ukrainians were using, the ones that were moved close
Speaker 3: to the targets, can be bought for just a few
Speaker 3: hundred dollars each. The forty one heavy bombers that were
Speaker 3: either damaged or destroyed went up to like seven billion dollars.
Speaker 3: So there's your return on investment. And I guess you
Speaker 3: have to factor in considering the points that New Hampshire
Speaker 3: Gary made and the follow up comments and the observations
Speaker 3: about you know, these drones could literally be anywhere and
Speaker 3: are literally anywhere. Whether they're ones that are capable of
Speaker 3: doing damage and carrying explosives, I guess it depends on
Speaker 3: the intent of the actor. But you know me, I'm
Speaker 3: a huge fan of these modular nuclear reactors. Donald Trump
Speaker 3: is as well, In fact that he just made an announcement
Speaker 3: the other day I think it was on Friday about
Speaker 3: changing moving away from Biden's batcrap insane climate agenda to
Speaker 3: putting more energy and effort into nuclear power. White House
Speaker 3: wants to deploy three hundred gigawatts of new nuclear capacity
Speaker 3: by twenty fifty and have ten large reactors under construction
Speaker 3: here by twenty thirty, while expanding domestic nuclear fuel supplies.
Speaker 3: That's s according the executive or to resigned, so along
Speaker 3: with accelerating the Nuclear Regulatory Commission reviews and getting rid
Speaker 3: of some of the regulatory hurdles. Now as much as
Speaker 3: I embrace that, think it's the answer to everyone's problems.
Speaker 3: An abundant supply of electricity built on and produced by
Speaker 3: a very small footprint, easy to build compared to the
Speaker 3: old ways. Do we worry about that? Do our construction
Speaker 3: methods have to? Now? Consider that we have nefarious actors
Speaker 3: literally everywhere in the world that could have a drone
Speaker 3: with an explosive on it that could blow up a
Speaker 3: nuclear act reactor. Is this something we're going to have
Speaker 3: to factor into the design. That problem certainly didn't exist
Speaker 3: that long ago. It's not something I think you had
Speaker 3: to really care or concern yourself about. Your only concern
Speaker 3: was maybe some foreign power China, Russia launching a missile
Speaker 3: that somehow decided to target our nuclear power plant as
Speaker 3: opposed to a city or a manufacturing facility, that kind
Speaker 3: of thing. The nature of war has changed overnight. Am
Speaker 3: Scary made a great point on that. So I really
Speaker 3: worry about the future along those lines, because hell, if
Speaker 3: you only need a few hundred dollars and somehow to
Speaker 3: a rigged drone, anything that currently exists that hasn't been modified, fortified,
Speaker 3: or otherwise upgraded to with stand in attack is of
Speaker 3: course quite vulnerable. Mississippi James on the phone, looking forward
Speaker 3: to having a conversation with you. We're gonna have to pause.
Speaker 3: Take a here six forty five fifty five KC detalk

Speaker 3: talk about since anti budget don't know, we always find
Speaker 3: out together at seven twenty the meantime, over the phones
Speaker 3: to see what Mississippi James has got today. Happy Monday
Speaker 3: to you, James. Always a pleasure hearing from you.
Speaker 7: Good morning, Come in peace, love everybody, and there's nothing
Speaker 7: you can do about it.
Speaker 3: I love that message, James. What's ay now?
Speaker 7: I had I had the clear this is what Joe?
Speaker 7: Was it okay for me to talk about the Nazis
Speaker 7: salute supposedly coming from Cory Booker?
Speaker 3: Yeah, brought that up this morning.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I went back on went and looked at
Speaker 7: it and they showed the two compared compared. But like
Speaker 7: we say, hey, what's the content that was with it?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 3: Yeah, whether it's salute or not, I just people get
Speaker 3: bent out of James. I'll stay on the record. I
Speaker 3: don't believe that it was a Nazi salute. Almost like
Speaker 3: I said Elon Musk, you know, when you're in front
Speaker 3: of a crowd and you're all ginned up and everybody's
Speaker 3: roaring and cheering and responding to what you're saying, you're
Speaker 3: in a political rally, your hands are going to go
Speaker 3: all over the place. I've been there in front of
Speaker 3: an audience and done crazy things, and I'm sure at
Speaker 3: some point someone could have taken a picture where my
Speaker 3: hand was outstretched like that as I was waving to
Speaker 3: the room, for example, Was I saluting in a Nazi fashion?
Speaker 3: Did I intend anything political by it? No, just waving.
Speaker 3: So I don't think Corey Booker's a Nazi, and I
Speaker 3: don't think he was doing a Nazi salute. He was
Speaker 3: just the fun and games that's going on over Corey's
Speaker 3: in the fact that they had a photo cap of
Speaker 3: him looking like he's doing a Nazi salute. It's just
Speaker 3: an illustration of comparison of the mainstream media's treatment of
Speaker 3: Elon Musk versus Corey Booker, and they're all either defending
Speaker 3: him or they're not even reporting on it, So it
Speaker 3: stands out just as one of those illustrations of disparate treatment.
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree, all right, guy, I have a
Speaker 1: good day.
Speaker 3: I just want to see what was it okay to
Speaker 3: speak absolutely James. You know, the only thing you can't
Speaker 3: speak about is when you're using FCC non compliant language.
Speaker 3: And I've never heard you even utter an FCC non
Speaker 3: compliant word, even when we're a listener lunch. So I
Speaker 3: don't expect that from you. Am I going to see
Speaker 3: it lunch on Wednesday, sir.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're looking to make it cool.
Speaker 7: Oh I did, I did utter one word when I
Speaker 7: was talking about that cow. Oh yeah you have.
Speaker 3: I know, I know, and I could that was kind
Speaker 3: of right on the margins. But other than that, no problem.
Speaker 3: I'm not holding against you, James mad Tree Brewery. I'll
Speaker 3: keep my finger scratched. You can make it. That's the
Speaker 3: Summit Park location anyway, coming with the six fifty three
Speaker 3: fifty five K to see the talk station. He's a
Speaker 3: good guy. Tim Walltz a jerk. And maybe it's because
Speaker 3: they don't have anything. I guess, I say as an
Speaker 3: initial comment before I mentioned what Tim Walltz is saying
Speaker 3: the other day, and may you may have heard it.
Speaker 3: What are the Democrats going to do in Trump's gone?
Speaker 3: They they haven't come up with a platform to run
Speaker 3: on their their business, just scrambling to find an issue
Speaker 3: that resonates with America. Their position on you know, men
Speaker 3: playing in women's sports and gender transition surgeries and all
Speaker 3: the other batcrap and saying stuff open borders. I mean,
Speaker 3: we could go on and on and on all the
Speaker 3: reasons Donald Trump got elected. They haven't given up on
Speaker 3: those issues. They're still advocating for them, not as loudly
Speaker 3: because they know they're not winning solutions, but they haven't
Speaker 3: rejected them. They haven't come out with a new platform
Speaker 3: saying no, no, no, we were wrong about that. And
Speaker 3: we think, you know whatever, they're just running around about
Speaker 3: evil Orange man and Governor Tim Waltz is still at it.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's time for us to be a little meaner,
Speaker 3: he said, speaking in a rally Columbia, South Carolina. Maybe
Speaker 3: it's time for us to be a little meaner. We
Speaker 3: need to be a bit more fierce because we have
Speaker 3: to ferociously push back on this without elaborating necessarily what
Speaker 3: this is. And he was a teacher, so that's the
Speaker 3: context of the following statement. The thing that bothers a
Speaker 3: teacher more than anything is to watch a bully. And
Speaker 3: when it's a child, you talk to them and you
Speaker 3: tell them why bullying is wrong. But when it's adult,
Speaker 3: like Donald Trump, you bully the S word out of
Speaker 3: him back. This is a cruel man. Donald Trump is
Speaker 3: the existential threat we knew we knew was coming. It's
Speaker 3: going to be a challenging few years here. We've got
Speaker 3: the guts and we need to have to push back
Speaker 3: on the bullies and the greed. Not a whole lot
Speaker 3: of substance built into that. But considering Donald Trump was
Speaker 3: well attempted assassinations at him twice, the victim of all
Speaker 3: of the crap that they threw out him during his
Speaker 3: first administration, unrelenting use of the government resources to go
Speaker 3: after a politician that they disfavored because I guess, you know,
Speaker 3: draining the swamp kind of attitude. But where's your policy,
Speaker 3: mister Waltz. What are you going to use to push
Speaker 3: back on Trump other than bullying him? Silence on that
Speaker 3: one's deafening. But this world which becomes angry or and
Speaker 3: angry every single day, and people resorting to violence more
Speaker 3: and more often these days, this is not helpful in
Speaker 3: any way, shape or form. I legitimately truly believe that
Speaker 3: the folks liked Waltz and others within the Democratic Party
Speaker 3: want harm, and I mean significant harm to befall the
Speaker 3: President of the United States of America. And that is
Speaker 3: not something I have ever ever hoped for in any administration.

Speaker 3: Christopher smithmen former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati,
Speaker 3: and the Smith Event. Monday Monday's Brian James on at
Speaker 3: eight oh five with a big list of gloom and doom. Jeez, Brian,
Speaker 3: anything good going on out in the world anyway? With
Speaker 3: all the bad news? How should this affect how we invest?
Speaker 3: Ultimately getting some investment advice from the financial planner himself.
Speaker 3: Let's see here, I was talking about the violence and
Speaker 3: air in the system, and it keeps me getting more
Speaker 3: and more violent. You got Walt urging democrats, the bully,
Speaker 3: the S word out of Trump. You know, feeding adding
Speaker 3: fuel to the fire, although not coming up with any
Speaker 3: you know, articulable reason why people should be in favor
Speaker 3: of democrats. We had this most recent attack by the
Speaker 3: Egyptian national came into our country a couple of years ago,
Speaker 3: overstaying his visa and attacking proan. This Run for Their
Speaker 3: Lives grassroots groups organizes run and walk events calling for
Speaker 3: the release of Israeli hostages held since October seventh by Hamas.
Speaker 3: That's all they do. They're advocating to free hostages, and
Speaker 3: what's wrong with that? They do it in a peaceful
Speaker 3: way anyway. Mohammed Sabre Solomon forty five, the guy that
Speaker 3: overstated his visa, attacked people with a flamethrower and molotov cocktails.
Speaker 3: Injured quite a few folks, one of them is in
Speaker 3: I believe, reporting critical condition. Victims range in the age
Speaker 3: from between fifty two and eighty eight and moving over.
Speaker 3: Of course, always controversial Israel Palestine. Obviously, we've heard a
Speaker 3: lot about Harvard not protecting their Israeli students, or rather
Speaker 3: they're Jewish students, and sort of coddling the Palestinian testers
Speaker 3: who are entitled to protests, but not engage in taking
Speaker 3: over campus facilities, otherwise interfering with others who are working
Speaker 3: on getting the value of their hourly credits, learning something,
Speaker 3: getting an education, and violence in connection with the trans
Speaker 3: athletes men competing against women. Ady Hernandez, described as the
Speaker 3: transgender shooting student athlete for Jurupa Valley High School in California,
Speaker 3: got first place in the high jump over the weekend
Speaker 3: and triple jump at the state championships on Saturday at
Speaker 3: Veterans Memorial Statement or Stadium. Also finished second place in
Speaker 3: the high jump at a place called Woodrow Wilson High Schools.
Speaker 3: Lauren Webster was the only female to finish ahead of
Speaker 3: the transgender Hernandez in any competition over the weekend. Hernandez
Speaker 3: he I Guess, previously took first place in all three
Speaker 3: events at the preliminary round on Friday. Female competitors who
Speaker 3: finished behind Hernandez in the weekend's events get a load
Speaker 3: of this. We're all bumped up one spot and receive
Speaker 3: the medal they would have earned had the transathlete not competed.
Speaker 3: This is the solution from the California Interscholastic Federation. So
Speaker 3: Donald Trump sent a warning to California saying, hey, look,
Speaker 3: you're gonna lose your funding if you allow men to
Speaker 3: compete against women. This is an ongoing battle, you know
Speaker 3: about that Title nine and whether or not it protects
Speaker 3: men to and allows them to play against women. So
Speaker 3: they made a series of rule changes recently the California
Speaker 3: Interscholastic Federation to ensure that any females who be finished
Speaker 3: behind a biological male will be appropriately rewarded a medal
Speaker 3: based upon where they placed among just the female competitors.
Speaker 3: Does that make any sense? So the transgender female, the
Speaker 3: guy can go around saying I got a first place medal,
Speaker 3: and then the person he beat out right behind him,
Speaker 3: the female gets a first place medal as well, and
Speaker 3: goes and I said, well I actually won. Who gets
Speaker 3: more credibility with their first place metal? I mean it
Speaker 3: just I mean, why go down this road? Fox News
Speaker 3: reporting Conflicting protests plagued these championships, starting on Friday, with
Speaker 3: pro elg this is where your violence comes in. Pro
Speaker 3: LGBTQ protesters and pro female protesters wielding signs, flags, clothing
Speaker 3: expressing their respective messaging. The conflict between the protesters at
Speaker 3: one point became violent of course it did. Who became violent?
Speaker 3: If you haven't seen the reporting on this, who do
Speaker 3: you think became violent? The pro women's side of the
Speaker 3: argument of the pro LGBTQ side well. In this particular case,
Speaker 3: the LGBTQ protesters struck a local conservative actis named Josh
Speaker 3: Fulfer with a flagpole. Footage obtained by Fox News shows
Speaker 3: the LGBTQ protester Ethan Kroll attacked Fulfer through a car
Speaker 3: window and ultimately got arrested. Kroll mail arrested for assault
Speaker 3: with a deadly weapon other than a firearm, obstructing public
Speaker 3: officer in vandalism. Police Chief there Chris Hutchison, speaking with
Speaker 3: Fox News said no other criminal acts occurred at the
Speaker 3: track meet Friday. Our stance is always to allow people
Speaker 3: to exercise their constitutional right to free speech and protest.
Speaker 3: They have the right to do it in a matter
Speaker 3: that isn't enticing, inciting violence, or causing other problems. We
Speaker 3: don't have room for violence or property damage or anything
Speaker 3: like that. No kidding, however, California Family Council Outreach Director
Speaker 3: Sophia Lori, this is the following day taken out a
Speaker 3: Veterans Memorial Stadium Stadium by these CIF officials, the California
Speaker 3: Interscholastic Federation, the ones that made the rule change because
Speaker 3: she was passing out save girls Sports wristband. HM, that's speech.
Speaker 3: That's not violent. That's not hitting someone with a flagpole,
Speaker 3: is it here? Would you like a risk band?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 3: Thank you, I wouldn't. Oh, thank you very much. I
Speaker 3: support women's sports. So it just depends on who's speaking.
Speaker 3: I guess whether they actually honor free speech rights or not.
Speaker 3: She also pointed out that she passed out these messages
Speaker 3: and these wristbands at prior events didn't have any issues,
Speaker 3: so we handed out half page flyers at the prelim event.
Speaker 3: I'm not told anything that we couldn't do that she
Speaker 3: was thrown out of the venue. Laurie and other conservatives
Speaker 3: there that unlike previous events, a man on a megaphone
Speaker 3: at this event where she was thrown out repeatedly ordered
Speaker 3: spectators not to make disparaging comments about any competitors, officials,
Speaker 3: or other spectators on Saturday. So you can't even speak.
Speaker 3: In the country with free speech, you can't speak. I
Speaker 3: suppose it just depends on whose ox is getting gord.
Speaker 3: But going back to the rule, change. I mean, can
Speaker 3: can someone explain that to me? Why that is you
Speaker 3: get the first place metal even though you came in second.
Speaker 3: Under their rules and in their hearts and minds, this
Speaker 3: person that got the first is a girl. This is
Speaker 3: what they firmly believe they should be treated like a girl.
Speaker 3: They are considered a girl. They're in all ways shapes
Speaker 3: and forms of a girl because they say they are.
Speaker 3: Er Go, Why if that's your belief system, and that's
Speaker 3: what the law of the state of California currently holds,
Speaker 3: why would you give the second place metal a recipient
Speaker 3: a first place medal? You're obviously recognizing the biological distinction,
Speaker 3: defeating the whole notion that what that person says they
Speaker 3: are by way of sexual identification is actually truth, which
Speaker 3: to me, to me is just at the heart of
Speaker 3: the backcrap insanity of all this anyway. Christopher smithmty on
Speaker 3: deck to relieve men fifteen. If you five k C
Speaker 3: detox station, chimney care fireplace in stove, get your chimney inspected.
Speaker 3: It's the right thing to do. It's all about your safety.
Speaker 3: And if you've got a wood burning fireplace and you
Speaker 3: haven't had inspected in a long time. You could have
Speaker 3: a serious creosote build up that could catch your chimney
Speaker 3: on fire crack the lining, or it could be that
Speaker 3: your lining is already cracked from a prior one. You
Speaker 3: wouldn't know about it. Just because you have a chimney
Speaker 3: fire doesn't mean you're gonna be aware of it. Because
Speaker 3: the smoke from the chimney fire is going to go
Speaker 3: out the chimney out of the top. But it's the
Speaker 3: fire that's a problem. Can crack the lining. If that's
Speaker 3: already happened, you get another chimney fire, you could burn
Speaker 3: your house down. I don't know if the first fire
Speaker 3: could burn the house down, But why worry about it?
Speaker 3: Get a chimney sweep and take advantage of the chimneycare
Speaker 3: fireplace in Still Springs thus special the woodburning sweep and
Speaker 3: evaluation for only one sixty nine ninety nine plus tax
Speaker 3: video camera inspection certified chimney sweep doing the sweeping, They
Speaker 3: check it top to bottom, including an xterior evaluation to
Speaker 3: make sure you don't have any water damage, and they
Speaker 3: really know what they're doing. They're locally on and operated
Speaker 3: since nineteen eighty eight eight plus with a better business Bureaum. Now,
Speaker 3: if you don't have a wood burning you don't have
Speaker 3: to worry about the Chrisoap build up, but you do
Speaker 3: need to worry about water damage. Chimneycare Fireplaces still will
Speaker 3: come out to your place four free for an exterior evaluation.

Speaker 3: Lesson seven D you about KRCIT talk station. I always
Speaker 3: look forward to this time of morning on a Monday.
Speaker 3: You have to hear from the poor Vice Mayor of
Speaker 3: the City of Cincinnati for this smither event. Welcome by
Speaker 3: Christopher SMITHAM and my friend. Pleasure to have you on
Speaker 3: the program.
Speaker 6: Hey brother, thanks for having me on. I tell you
Speaker 6: I saw yesterday this Egyptian person who's in our country illegally,
Speaker 6: you know, setting people on fire. Eight people on fire
Speaker 6: who are Americans. They're there peacefully exercising their First Amendment
Speaker 6: right to say I want the hostages released from Hamas. Yeah,
Speaker 6: and they're firebombed by somebody who is in our country illegally.
Speaker 6: One of the people eighty eight years old, which is
Speaker 6: my mother's age, and setting her on fire where she's
Speaker 6: laying on the ground burning to death. I'm trying to
Speaker 6: figure out how to make kids and tales of the
Speaker 6: Democratic Party that just won't stand with this administration on
Speaker 6: one issue. If you've committed a crime, you've killed somebody,
Speaker 6: you've raped them, you've robbed somebody, you say, whatever the
Speaker 6: crime is, and you're in the country illegally, we can
Speaker 6: deport you. I don't understand Brian Thomas what they're fighting.
Speaker 6: They're not talking about dreamers. I'm not on board with that.
Speaker 6: I mean, the reality of it is, if you come
Speaker 6: to this country illegally, you've jumped the fence, you've jumped
Speaker 6: the process. Because there's so many people that are listening
Speaker 6: to this radio show who came here legally and they're
Speaker 6: not tolerating somebody here setting eight people on fire.
Speaker 3: Well, let's cut to the chase. No one should tolerate
Speaker 3: anyone sending paper eight people on fire. For any political
Speaker 3: cause or anything else. For that reason, this is what
Speaker 3: terrorists do. That's why they're calling it a terror attack.
Speaker 3: Terror is the actions of the week. Those with few
Speaker 3: numbers try to commit horrific, horrific acts in the name
Speaker 3: of trying to make themselves look more powerful than they
Speaker 3: are and an effort to prevent people from peaceably exercising
Speaker 3: a message that runs contrary to what these terrorists want.
Speaker 3: So people are then afraid. If you're a Jewish person,
Speaker 3: you were planning on tending a run for their lives
Speaker 3: rally in support of getting the terrorists or getting the
Speaker 3: hostages out of the hands of Hamas. Now you're thinking
Speaker 3: to yourself, geez am, I going to be the victim
Speaker 3: of a firebomb attack by one of these looney tunes.
Speaker 3: Maybe I shouldn't show up at the event.
Speaker 6: And this is what ties into what we're seeing at
Speaker 6: these universities, YEP, where you have people there that are
Speaker 6: saying free Palestine, Free Palestine. They're calling for the end
Speaker 6: of the Jewish state, and they're in the country as
Speaker 6: a guest. They're here as our guests. They're not here,
Speaker 6: they're not Americans. And I just can't imagine going to
Speaker 6: somebody else's country and then turning around and fire bombing
Speaker 6: their citizen and thinking I'm going to get out of
Speaker 6: their lives. Meaning why don't we set him on fire today?
Speaker 6: If that was the reason we don't is we're a
Speaker 6: civilized country. We have rules, we have laws, we follow them.
Speaker 6: But the reality of it is what makes sense to
Speaker 6: me this morning. If that was my mother, who I
Speaker 6: have a mother that age, I would want to set
Speaker 6: this person on fire today. You've come into our country
Speaker 6: illegally and then set my mother on fire and walked away.
Speaker 6: And you know as a concealed carry that if I
Speaker 6: was in that situation, I the shot that guy. There's
Speaker 6: no way you're standing there with I don't even understand
Speaker 6: how he's getting away with it with his shirt off,
Speaker 6: walking around with the canister like he's about to fire
Speaker 6: bomb somebody else and nobody shoots him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, that's a good point, Christopher, because if
Speaker 3: someone else is harming someone violently or trying to kill them,
Speaker 3: you have the right to defend the other people with
Speaker 3: your firearm. You can use deadly force under those circumstances.
Speaker 3: The best that I understanding under the law problem is
Speaker 3: it's California. How many people out there actually had a
Speaker 3: gun on them? Colorado, Colorado, Colorado.
Speaker 6: Let me let me tell you to the brother, you're
Speaker 6: my friend. If somebody has set me on fire and
Speaker 6: they're walking around with their shirt off and you have
Speaker 6: your firearm and you don't take them out, I'm gonna
Speaker 6: be disappointed. Brian Top, I'm not worried about what the
Speaker 6: law is. Let's shoot to that Christian blater. He's burning
Speaker 6: up everybody around them. I mean, that's what's so crazy
Speaker 6: about it. And they continue meaning every time the president
Speaker 6: says I'm going to take a criminal who has rape
Speaker 6: somebody's child, who's murdered somebody who's robbed them, you have
Speaker 6: Democrats and people who are following this might not know
Speaker 6: that this is happening, traveling to other countries saying, hey man,
Speaker 6: I want this MS thirteen gang member back into the
Speaker 6: United States of America. All of these things are connected,
Speaker 6: they're not disconnected. What's happening at Harvard is this is
Speaker 6: connected to this in Columbia, what's happening at Northwestern, what's
Speaker 6: happening at MIT? That big speech that was given a
Speaker 6: last week by the MIT at the commencement speech, what
Speaker 6: the President said at the Harvard graduation. All of these
Speaker 6: things are stoking what we're seeing happening around the country,
Speaker 6: and they are responsible. Your language at times are weapons,
Speaker 6: and they're giving people the power to say it's okay
Speaker 6: to go out and set eight people on fire, who
Speaker 6: are Americans who are assembled their First Amendment. Right. They're
Speaker 6: saying Harmas has these hostages and I want them back.
Speaker 6: And by the way, as I can clude, because I
Speaker 6: know you're about to go to break, let me say
Speaker 6: that Israel isn't attacking quote the Palestinian people. They're attacking Hamas,
Speaker 6: which is a terrorist organization. This notion that Hamas isn't
Speaker 6: using the Palestinian people as shields, which is what they're doing.
Speaker 6: They're using their people and putting their missiles or their
Speaker 6: tanks or whatever. They're doing their rockets in hospitals, in schools,
Speaker 6: on playgrounds, around the general population. This is their goal
Speaker 6: as a terrorist organization. So no one is out here
Speaker 6: trying to kill Palestinian people. We love the Palestinian people, right,
Speaker 6: we support the Palestinian people. We're talking about Harmas. And
Speaker 6: so when you get on these college campuses and you're
Speaker 6: saying I support Harmas and you're supporting a terrorist organization.
Speaker 6: You should be deported to your country.
Speaker 3: October seventh, that was Hamas and think of how horrific
Speaker 3: that day was for the Jewish people. If you have
Speaker 3: Karosite talk station Bright Timos with Christopher Smithman, smither Ben Christopher,
Speaker 3: have at it.
Speaker 6: Hey, brother, look a sensitive subject matter and I have
Speaker 6: not spoken about PG Sittenfield since he was arrested, So
Speaker 6: this is probably my first commentary publicly about PG Sittenfield
Speaker 6: since his arrest. I was shocked by the pardon. Like
Speaker 6: many people in Cincinnati. You know, I served with PG Sittenfield,
Speaker 6: So you're listening audience should know that. You know, as
Speaker 6: an elected official, as a member of council, the vice
Speaker 6: mayor of the City of Cincinnati, I served with him,
Speaker 6: so I have a good understanding of how he operated,
Speaker 6: what he said as a member of council, how he
Speaker 6: conducted himself. And he was a person first of all,
Speaker 6: that I never wanted to associate with. Let me just
Speaker 6: be clear about it. And it was just his aggressiveness,
Speaker 6: his his way of talking about mansplaining, or the way
Speaker 6: he treated Children's hospital, calling them racist because they were
Speaker 6: expanding their four hundred million dollar facility, and that was
Speaker 6: that was for his political, uh political expedient in his mind,
Speaker 6: but for the for the real heart reason was the
Speaker 6: text messages from the Gang of five related to my
Speaker 6: dying right. And so I'm not this, I'm not this
Speaker 6: neutral person about him. I don't wish bad upon anybody,
Speaker 6: including him because because that's that's against where I am, Morley.
Speaker 6: But let me address just one or two things about this.
Speaker 6: It's really clear clear as it will. So first of all,
Speaker 6: I want to thank the Federal Bureau of Investigation. They're
Speaker 6: right there by your by the radio station. They did
Speaker 6: a great job. They went out and did their jobs,
Speaker 6: and they rooted out corruption at city Hall first. So
Speaker 6: those FBI agents, I'm sure feel a certain way this
Speaker 6: morning seeing that he was exonerated or pardoned by the
Speaker 6: present in the United States of America. But having said that,
Speaker 6: they caught him dead right, meaning he was not found
Speaker 6: guilty on a variety of charges Brian Thomas. But the
Speaker 6: one he was found guilty guilty on is when he
Speaker 6: was in that hotel room and he literally said, not verbatim,
Speaker 6: because I don't have the text in front of me,
Speaker 6: I am taking this money from you, and I will
Speaker 6: deliver votes. I will deliver not even my vote, other
Speaker 6: votes on whatever your issue was. Whatever those developers were
Speaker 6: saying that they were doing. That is illegal, and that
Speaker 6: is what he was found guilty on. So the reality
Speaker 6: of it is is it's not like PG. Sitting Field
Speaker 6: is innocent. If we allowed every elected official out here
Speaker 6: to exchange money for votes, we'd have a major problem. Right.
Speaker 6: People say that corruption is too high now in local government.
Speaker 6: I'm hoping that something like this doesn't embolden people to
Speaker 6: do things to get away with them. But the reality
Speaker 6: of it was, I'm not questioning the president and his
Speaker 6: desire to pardon him. I know that PG. Sittenfeld hired
Speaker 6: one of Trump's lawyers. I found that very interesting, and
Speaker 6: you have right. And at the same time, he's on
Speaker 6: the floor of Council when I'm serving with him, dogging
Speaker 6: out President Trump in his four year first four year term,
Speaker 6: so he's verbally trashing him, using him as a rod
Speaker 6: going after Amy Murray, who at that time left City
Speaker 6: Council and then started working for President Trump, meaning working
Speaker 6: for the administration. But he made her a pariah for
Speaker 6: doing that. Now here where he's his life is on
Speaker 6: the line. He pursues and successfully gets a pardon by
Speaker 6: hiring one of Trump's lawyers, and ultimately successfully lobby and
Speaker 6: getting a pardon from the White House from President Trump.
Speaker 6: As a Democrat, the hypocrisy of it all politically catches
Speaker 6: my eye in a very, very big way. So at
Speaker 6: the end of the day, I believe that you sit
Speaker 6: and feel will run for office again. I don't know
Speaker 6: when he'll run, where he'll want, what he'll run for,
Speaker 6: but I believe he will. He's gotten a full parton
Speaker 6: which gives him a full green light to put his
Speaker 6: name on the ballot and run for office. But I
Speaker 6: would tell you that when he runs, particularly in a
Speaker 6: head to hit race, I'm not talking about a field
Speaker 6: race like city council a head to hit race, those
Speaker 6: audio tapes of him discussing taking money directly for votes
Speaker 6: will be on your TV screen every single day, and
Speaker 6: I think it's going to be very difficult for him
Speaker 6: to get reelected under that kind of fire. And the
Speaker 6: FBI right now, I just want to salute them for
Speaker 6: doing a very good job of investigating City Hall and
Speaker 6: rooting out corruption.
Speaker 3: All right. I don't know if he's going to run
Speaker 3: for anything else. I think he probably wants to keep
Speaker 3: his head down, wants to find a job someplace in
Speaker 3: the one of his well connected private sector friends businesses,
Speaker 3: and avoid exactly what you're talking about, because you're right
Speaker 3: in a head to head race. He was convicted. Christopher convicted.
Speaker 3: Just because he got a pardon later doesn't negate the
Speaker 3: reality that he was convicted by a jury of his peers.
Speaker 3: We'll continue with Christopher seton and.
Speaker 6: Let me and when we come back, I just want
Speaker 6: to lift up or talk about Jeffrey Pastor and Tamya Dennard.
Speaker 6: These are two African Americans that I served with who
Speaker 6: were charged with similar charges and aren't parton went to
Speaker 6: jail and served their sentence. That's also incredibly interesting from
Speaker 6: the Democratic Party's position, very interesting.
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe it's because they didn't hire Jones. Day seven,
Speaker 3: if if I have kr CD talk Station Money, Money's
Speaker 3: Brian Chains up on the top of the r NWS speaking
Speaker 3: of financial planners. Christopher Smith have been financial planning edition
Speaker 3: being the former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati.
Speaker 3: You were going to talk about jeff Pastor and Tamia Denard.
Speaker 6: Christopher, Yeah, I guess we have two African Americans, one Republican,
Speaker 6: which is Jeffrey Pastor or a Democrat to myidnar both
Speaker 6: of them were my colleagues.
Speaker 1: Like PG.
Speaker 6: Sittinfill. They both were arrested and convicted. Tomisnard just you know,
Speaker 6: said I'm guilty, went to jail, served her time, came
Speaker 6: back out, has moved on with her life. But it's
Speaker 6: just so intriguing for me because of the nuances of
Speaker 6: how the Democratic Party with PG. Sittenville, because he was
Speaker 6: their poster child, he was their guy, he was the
Speaker 6: guy that was going to be the mayor, was going
Speaker 6: to be the governor. He's out saying using language like
Speaker 6: I'm man spleening you, or you're a racist like he
Speaker 6: did Children's Hospital for the expansion, but he would do
Speaker 6: that to a lot of different people. My point is
Speaker 6: that he used all of his privilege to get off
Speaker 6: the hook using loose language. But Jeffrey Pastor and Tamaya,
Speaker 6: who do not have the connections, they do not have
Speaker 6: the trust fun they don't have Trump's warrior on retainer
Speaker 6: to lobby the White House. They're going to serve their
Speaker 6: complete time and most likely remain a convicted felon and
Speaker 6: there is just something that rubs me wrong about it.
Speaker 6: And to listen to the mainstream media try to parse
Speaker 6: that Jeffrey Pastor and Tamaya are some way different than
Speaker 6: what PG. Sittenfeld did is absolutely insane to me. Meaning
Speaker 6: we have three people and the only difference I see
Speaker 6: is a white guy who's privileged with money, who's a Democrat,
Speaker 6: who sits back and uses African Americans, and when it
Speaker 6: was for his benefit, he got off the hook and
Speaker 6: left Jeffrey Pastor and Tomya Donnard to their own demand.
Speaker 6: And African Americans should be looking at this case through
Speaker 6: that lens. It is not Republicans who did it. Is
Speaker 6: this Democrat who went to the Republican meaning the person
Speaker 6: that they say is their greatest pariah, which is President
Speaker 6: Donald Trump. He went there and kissed his ring to
Speaker 6: get his butt off the hook, leaving Tamaya Donard and
Speaker 6: leaving Jeffrey Pastor in prison with a felony where they
Speaker 6: can't ever run for office ever again. And I want
Speaker 6: to make sure that everybody understands it. So when Democrats
Speaker 6: are coming to you saying, oh, I'm just gonna look
Speaker 6: past it, and I'm going to vote for him anyway.
Speaker 6: This is why so many African Americans are leaving the
Speaker 6: Democratic Party because they're saying the Democratic Party left me,
Speaker 6: like they're not saying I left the Democratic Party, saying
Speaker 6: the Democratic Party left me. And why so many African
Speaker 6: American men went out and voted for Donald Trump in
Speaker 6: the last election because they see crap like this. You
Speaker 6: see a privileged white guy with millions of dollars who
Speaker 6: hires a lawyer from Trump's air from his from his
Speaker 6: arena lobby. Successfully, the White House gets off and leaves
Speaker 6: the two African Americans out there on their own. There's
Speaker 6: nothing he's saying about Somaya and nothing he's saying about
Speaker 6: Jeffrey Pass I'm talking about the PG sittingfield case. They
Speaker 6: just left them out there, Brian Thomas. And this is
Speaker 6: the kind of stuff as an African American man, right
Speaker 6: who runs as an independent, that really burns me because
Speaker 6: so many African America's outre said I'm voting Democrat, I'm
Speaker 6: just voting for them, I'm just voting blindly. It doesn't matter,
Speaker 6: And I go, wow, look at what this guy just
Speaker 6: successfully did. He got off the hook and left his
Speaker 6: own colleagues who are both African American who, by the way,
Speaker 6: Tamia Dennard was his campaign manager, was his chief of staff,
Speaker 6: worked very closely with PG SimPEL. This is about somebody
Speaker 6: that he doesn't know. I want to understand why he
Speaker 6: didn't lobby to get them off the hook first. It's
Speaker 6: because he focused on himself. That's it.
Speaker 3: Doesn't it illustrate just the absurdity of the pardon process.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you can buy a pardon, which is
Speaker 3: kind of what you're suggesting. And I know Steve Gooden
Speaker 3: was on the program last week talking exactly about this,
Speaker 3: that he hired jones Day, that ec law firm, very
Speaker 3: very well connected. That's how you get the president's ear.
Speaker 3: I don't think Donald Trump knew who PG Sittenfeld was
Speaker 3: before jones Day reached out to the administration and started
Speaker 3: pressing him for a pardon. You know what I mean.
Speaker 3: It's just like, wait a second, money and the Democrats
Speaker 3: are running around screaming about oligarchs. Well, you know, PG
Speaker 3: may not be an oligarch, but he's sure one well
Speaker 3: connected presumably very wealthy guy uh or at least has
Speaker 3: access to money. Because jones Day doesn't call it come
Speaker 3: at an inexpensive hourly rate. Man, you're talking four figures
Speaker 3: an hour at a at a DC law firm like
Speaker 3: that of that caliber.
Speaker 6: So uh, And I'm just saying own it. I'm not
Speaker 6: even I want people to be successful, right, I'm not
Speaker 6: and I'm not and not and I'm not suggesting that
Speaker 6: you are, Brian Thomas. I'm saying PG. Sittenfield didn't own it.
Speaker 6: He attempted to send the message to the African American
Speaker 6: community with these kind of worn shoes is kind of
Speaker 6: the way. He kind of really didn't put on nice
Speaker 6: suits and draw this American made kind of escort car
Speaker 6: that he wasn't this multi multi multi millionaire well connected,
Speaker 6: that he would hire somebody from the Trump team in
Speaker 6: order to lobby for him successfully to get off the hook.
Speaker 6: And I'm saying they're not going to do that for
Speaker 6: Tomy Dinar. They're not going to do that for Jeffrey Pastor.
Speaker 6: And all I'm suggesting is to the Democratic Party, I
Speaker 6: see you, I know what you do, I know how
Speaker 6: you roll. And guess what, Jeffrey Passer, who's a Republican
Speaker 6: and to my dinar, will most likely be listed as
Speaker 6: felon for the rest of their life, while PG sitt
Speaker 6: and Field goes free. Well, that is absolutely insane to me.
Speaker 3: I still think you can call theocracy of it, and
Speaker 3: I still think you can call pgs sit and Felt
Speaker 3: a felon, a felon who was pardoned. It didn't he's
Speaker 3: his conviction hasn't been expunged. I don't believe you know,
Speaker 3: when you expunge something, it's removed. It never existed, It
Speaker 3: isn't there. But a pardon is you were convicted, you
Speaker 3: are in prison, or you are serving your time. I
Speaker 3: am going to, you know, pardon you. We're going to
Speaker 3: pretend like it didn't happen. But it did. That's why
Speaker 3: you pointed out during any campaign, ads are going to
Speaker 3: be hearing the language of PG Sittenfeld asking for money
Speaker 3: in return for political favors. You can't unwring that bell.
Speaker 6: But my brother, I agree with you about that. But
Speaker 6: when PG Sittenfeld is applying for jobs, right, let's say
Speaker 6: he decides to move to Florida and reset, it's like
Speaker 6: he doesn't have to disclose that somebody might research it
Speaker 6: and find it. But everywhere Jeffrey Passer goes everywhere to
Speaker 6: my dinar, goes when they're applying for jobs, they're gonna
Speaker 6: have to disclose it. And I'm saying to you, this
Speaker 6: is why when I was on council, right, we had
Speaker 6: ten thousand people the Democrats put forth when I was
Speaker 6: a member of Council this draconian law around low amounts
Speaker 6: of marijuana. That had ten thousand people with these low
Speaker 6: amount convictions of marijuana. I'm talking about small amounts. I'm
Speaker 6: not talking about they had marijuana in a gun, they
Speaker 6: had marijuana and rob somebody. These were people that just
Speaker 6: had very low amounts of marijuana. Ten thousand of them
Speaker 6: who couldn't get a job at Subway, couldn't go get
Speaker 6: a job at FedEx, can't get a job at Amazon
Speaker 6: because they have these low level convictions. Why in the
Speaker 6: world does PG sitting fell get off with a pardon
Speaker 6: and those low convictions those people that are out there
Speaker 6: every day working trying to get a job, those convictions
Speaker 6: continue to stay and they have to continue to disclose
Speaker 6: it to those employers. I'm saying, that's the hypocrisy for me,
Speaker 6: Brian comes it is and why I'm highlighting it. I'm
Speaker 6: highlighting it to your listening audience. This is the stuff
Speaker 6: where I see Democrats doing it and they're so quiet
Speaker 6: about it. It's not what politicians say, it's what they
Speaker 6: don't say.
Speaker 3: Well, and going back to whether or not PG actually
Speaker 3: runs for another office or pursue something in the private sector,
Speaker 3: we go back to the fact that he is very,
Speaker 3: very well connected. His family is a family of very
Speaker 3: well comfortable means, from what I know about them or
Speaker 3: what I heard about them, and I suspect that through
Speaker 3: his connections, he will land a very comfortable job in
Speaker 3: a firm or an org organization that doesn't care a
Speaker 3: wit that he was convicted. Our campaign brothers, you know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: I totally agree with you.
Speaker 1: Brother.
Speaker 6: Now, look, I know you're gonna cut me off, and
Speaker 6: I just want to say one thing before we go.
Speaker 6: The weather is changing, Brian Thomas. It's going to be
Speaker 6: a hot summer. We already had a police involved shooting
Speaker 6: between an officer and a young African American who stole
Speaker 6: a car, had a gun and was shot. Look, we've
Speaker 6: got to lift up our law enforcement all across the country,
Speaker 6: right because we understand that these kids now are out
Speaker 6: of school right many of them are unsupervised, and the
Speaker 6: reality of it is when they're engaging our officers. Our
Speaker 6: officers are not dads, they're not uncles, right, They're not
Speaker 6: somebody's aunt. They're out there trying to do their job.
Speaker 6: It's incredibly dangerous. We should be enforcing the curfew. We
Speaker 6: should be holding these young people and their parents accountable
Speaker 6: this summer, right, which I support. We need a mayor
Speaker 6: with a voice that will lend his voice to support
Speaker 6: our law enforcement as they hold these young people accountable.
Speaker 6: As this weather starts to warm up, so as we
Speaker 6: go through Juneteenth, or we go through the Black Family Reunion,
Speaker 6: or we go through the July fourth weekend, I'm letting
Speaker 6: everybody know, listen, there's going to be a hot summer.
Speaker 6: We're going to have problems out here. And I don't
Speaker 6: want the Monday morning quarterbacking. When you've got a young person,
Speaker 6: whether they're right or black or Latino, with a gun
Speaker 6: pointing at one of our Cincinnati police officers are law
Speaker 6: enforcement person anywhere in the country, expect that officer to
Speaker 6: return fire. That's what they're trained to do. They get
Speaker 6: to go home to their families. Brian Thomas and I
Speaker 6: just want to highlight that and when we come back
Speaker 6: next week. I'm going to talk about this Dawn school
Speaker 6: that closed down, a charter school run by African Americans.
Speaker 6: You probably probably hasn't even hit your radar, but it's
Speaker 6: something that's worthy of discussion because so many young people
Speaker 6: were impacted by it.
Speaker 3: Always loved talking.
Speaker 6: Allowing me to have my brother.
Speaker 3: I appreciate it. I love your passion.
Speaker 13: Man.
Speaker 3: We'll talk again next Monday. Have a great week with product.
Speaker 1: Take care.
Speaker 3: What thing makes you say?
Speaker 12: What social Security accounts belonging to people listed over one
Speaker 12: hundred and twenty years old.
Speaker 3: Fifty five krc D talk station in a six fifty
Speaker 3: five KRCD talk station EVY Monday, every Mondey. At this time,
Speaker 3: we talked to Brian James Small with Financial about things
Speaker 3: that relate to our long term investments and items that
Speaker 3: are in the news that might relate to our long
Speaker 3: term investments, and whether or not we might consider adjusting
Speaker 3: our investment strategy based upon current topics in the news.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna jump ahead and say probably not, but let's
Speaker 3: find out. Thanks to all with Financial for loading you
Speaker 3: out again. Brian James, goold you have you back on
Speaker 3: the program.
Speaker 10: Good morning, Miss Thomas hope you had a good weekend
Speaker 10: as well.
Speaker 3: Wonderful weekends My wife's birthday celebrated that, and also got
Speaker 3: to spend time with my daughter and her fiance out
Speaker 3: at the farm at a comfortable, meditative day watching the
Speaker 3: chickens roam around the backyard.
Speaker 10: That sounds absolutely heavenless.
Speaker 3: It was great. Their place is so cute and they've
Speaker 3: done so much with it. I brought I brought up
Speaker 3: this morning I started the show off. I'm so proud
Speaker 3: of them and what they've been able to accomplish at
Speaker 3: that place. They work, They work hard on making that
Speaker 3: place just right. But it's so quiet. And I also
Speaker 3: got to bring home a dozen eggs at no cost
Speaker 3: to me because they've got chickens that are putting out
Speaker 3: well quote unquote free AIGs.
Speaker 8: I know, and they could be gouging you for inflationary
Speaker 8: prices here.
Speaker 3: Too, they could.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: Eggs is kind of on the short list because we're
Speaker 3: all still kind of really with the price of eggs.
Speaker 3: But let's start with Dow futures dropping on more tariff issues.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the Wall Street journalists right now. Dowdown's
Speaker 3: futures down point twenty six SMP down point thirty nine
Speaker 3: and NASDAC down point five to five, so down but
Speaker 3: not multiple points down. So it might be a bad day,
Speaker 3: but it's not going to be a horrific bloodbath. He
Speaker 3: kind of day, at least as of right now.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean that the headlines we have headlines every
Speaker 8: single day most days nowadays, are boring, and this I
Speaker 8: don't know if I don't know what qualifies as boring.
Speaker 8: We've elevated the word boring. This is a quiet day
Speaker 8: amid a hurricane, if that makes any sense. So, but anyway,
Speaker 8: where the market reaction is coming from. President Trump floated
Speaker 8: an idea of a sixty percent teariff on all Chinese
Speaker 8: imports and deeming that a necessary step to protect American
Speaker 8: industry quote unquote. So this kind of revives trade war
Speaker 8: anxieties that's reminiscent of his first term despite all this
Speaker 8: global economic interdependence, and so that is driving futures down
Speaker 8: right now.
Speaker 10: We'll see if we stick.
Speaker 3: To it right well, and we all know how Trump is,
Speaker 3: you know, quote unquote art of the deal or whatever.
Speaker 3: They're sitting down with the Chinese trying to hammer out
Speaker 3: some sort of you know negotiated settlement or resolution of
Speaker 3: the tariffs and saying going to raise him to sixty
Speaker 3: percent what they wore one hundred and twenty and it
Speaker 3: went down to nothing and suspended it for thirty days
Speaker 3: or ninety days or whatever. I mean, He's all over
Speaker 3: the board on this, So god knows if he's using
Speaker 3: this just as sort of a and negotiating table threat,
Speaker 3: and then as the other component is these trumps, these
Speaker 3: tariffs are being challenged in court as beyond the executive
Speaker 3: branch's authority, and it could be that the court ultimately
Speaker 3: concludes that no, this is Congress and the power of
Speaker 3: the purse. There isn't a true emergency that would even
Speaker 3: authorize them to do this. So it's in a state
Speaker 3: of flux.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and even the headline Trump floats the idea of
Speaker 8: a sixty percent tariff, Well, he has actually put tariffs
Speaker 8: in place and pulled them back, so floating the idea
Speaker 8: is not going to make me sweat a whole lot.
Speaker 8: We've also got some tensions resurfacing between the US and China.
Speaker 8: A ninety day tariff pause that was agreed to in
Speaker 8: Geneva is at risk now as China is playing games
Speaker 8: again with the rare Earth mineral exports, and to be fair,
Speaker 8: we play games too.
Speaker 10: The whole thing is a great, big game, right. So, yeah,
Speaker 10: So there's just.
Speaker 8: A lot of things, but none of these are concrete
Speaker 8: facts yet. So that's relevant to why the market's doing
Speaker 8: what it's doing this morning. There's more slightly negative than
Speaker 8: slightly good out there right now.
Speaker 3: Okay, And you're the one that always likes to remind
Speaker 3: everybody that the markets typically factor in to their actions
Speaker 3: the sale price or the activity on the stock market
Speaker 3: in advance of something actually kicking in. So is that
Speaker 3: an element of what's going on right now?
Speaker 8: Absolutely, that's always an element that happens on the good
Speaker 8: side and the bad side. The market likes to anticipate.
Speaker 8: And if you look at any line graph of the
Speaker 8: S and P five hundred, or frankly, any stock market
Speaker 8: index out there, you'll see a whole bunch of peaks
Speaker 8: and valleys. Not just the big peaks and valleys that
Speaker 8: catch our eye that we always pay attention to, but
Speaker 8: I'm talking about the little week to week, day to
Speaker 8: day ones that's simply the market trying to guess what's
Speaker 8: coming next.
Speaker 10: Is this good news? Is this bad news, and it's.
Speaker 8: Wrong ninety percent of the time, and it's not a
Speaker 8: very big move either way, but eventually it will be right.
Speaker 8: We simply won't know when it has hit.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: Is this does the individual little man who's day trading
Speaker 3: and the collective all put together a faction that are
Speaker 3: doing something like that. Do they really have much of
Speaker 3: an impact on these market fluctuations or is this all
Speaker 3: institutional sized traders that have the impact.
Speaker 8: They certainly have an impact in the very short term
Speaker 8: swings the day to day stuff right now. So in
Speaker 8: other words, we're you and I are looking at futures.
Speaker 8: Futures are what the market thinks the market is going
Speaker 8: to do today, and there are people moving their money
Speaker 8: around based on that. But eventually that's going to be
Speaker 8: known fact here in about an hour and twenty minutes
Speaker 8: when the market opens.
Speaker 10: In the long run, I.
Speaker 8: Don't think they have a great huge impact, but in
Speaker 8: the short run they absolutely drive swings. They can cause
Speaker 8: stampedes in one direction or the other. But at the
Speaker 8: end of the day, if you are a long term investor,
Speaker 8: all that really matters is what are the prospects for
Speaker 8: a publicly traded company to make to make money by
Speaker 8: selling its products. That's all that really matters. The short
Speaker 8: term stuff is nothing more than the wind changing direction
Speaker 8: here and there.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 3: And one of the things that Donald Trump just recently
Speaker 3: announced he was doubling the steel and a loone them tariffs.
Speaker 3: I seem to think that this has a lot with
Speaker 3: the Nippon Steel US Steel merger. He promised that, you know,
Speaker 3: the work going to the layoffs here, the United States
Speaker 3: was going to be controlling the United States steel output
Speaker 3: and we're bouncing back. You know, well, this is going
Speaker 3: to be a renaissance for US steel production. Is that
Speaker 3: maybe the sole reason for it? So, I mean, because
Speaker 3: you know, if you wait long enough and these these
Speaker 3: do have an impact, the impact would likely inure to
Speaker 3: US steel manufacturers benefit. But that takes time. It's like
Speaker 3: trying to get others to invest in the United States
Speaker 3: and moving away from China. You know, you can say
Speaker 3: it and they might make announcements like yeah, we're going
Speaker 3: to invest fifty billion dollars in a new factory, but
Speaker 3: the new factory is going to be built for a while.
Speaker 3: It's going to take a long time for those jobs
Speaker 3: to hit home.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's right, And so we can. There's not a
Speaker 8: ton of history to rely on here. A lot of
Speaker 8: the history in this environment comes either from his first
Speaker 8: term in which we imposed about three hundred and sixty
Speaker 8: billion dollars worth of tariffs on Chinese goods and the China,
Speaker 8: of course responded retalatorially, and that led to a bunch
Speaker 8: of global market volatility, the supply chain issues we had,
Speaker 8: and then there was a this is ancient history now,
Speaker 8: but we had a Phase one deal in early twenty twenty.
Speaker 8: Do you remember Phase one, Brian Thomas? I don't, because
Speaker 8: there wasn't a Phase two, phase three. So I think
Speaker 8: the point is that I don't know that we're in
Speaker 8: a world anymore where we're gonna come up with a
Speaker 8: quote unquote global trade deal and then the dust is
Speaker 8: gonna settle on this. I think everybody's gonna be holding
Speaker 8: their cards and deciding precisely which which individual cards to
Speaker 8: play at precisely that moment, rather than agreeing that we
Speaker 8: have an agreement and everybody just playing in the sandbox nicely.
Speaker 10: I think where there's gonna be tweaks pretty much from
Speaker 10: here on out.
Speaker 3: Well in every country who hasn't like we had, we
Speaker 3: negotiated a some out of a deal with the UK,
Speaker 3: and that was you know, applauded. I guess good, we
Speaker 3: figured it out. But all the other countries with whom
Speaker 3: Donald Trumps said he's gonna be sitting down at the
Speaker 3: table to talk with fine if the tariffs were within
Speaker 3: his control. But every one of those countries can also
Speaker 3: make you know, look at the observation I just made,
Speaker 3: which is, you know, it's possible the Supreme Court and
Speaker 3: say Donald Trump can't unilaterally do this or go the
Speaker 3: tariffs won't be in place anymore, which would mean it
Speaker 3: would require congressional action. And since you can't get Congress
Speaker 3: to do anything, that means the likelihood of tariff's remaining
Speaker 3: in effect become well, they disappear.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I think sometimes we do get a notion that here
Speaker 8: in the United States, because of American exceptionalism, everybody has
Speaker 8: to do what we say that they have to do.
Speaker 8: They have to follow our lead because we are the
Speaker 8: biggest economic stick in the you know, in the box.
Speaker 8: But that's not really the case. Countries can agree to
Speaker 8: work with each other outside the United States, of course.
Speaker 8: I don't think that's that's too shattering or shattering to hear,
Speaker 8: but at the sometime it's big reminder of it right
Speaker 8: now because if the United States is going to take
Speaker 8: the steps that it's going to, the options that another
Speaker 8: country has is well, I can either play the game
Speaker 8: and negotiated with the United States, or I may be
Speaker 8: able to find some of these resources elsewhere. And you're
Speaker 8: starting to see that among some of these smaller countries
Speaker 8: that are finding themselves with China and or Russia. Yes,
Speaker 8: you know, we would look at that and kind of go, whoa,
Speaker 8: what are you thinking, But they're looking at it in
Speaker 8: the very short term. What benefits me now, not ten
Speaker 8: fifteen years from now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree completely. I mean the situation with the
Speaker 3: Russia Ukraine War is kind of driven Russia and China
Speaker 3: into each other's arms, along with North Korea and Iran.
Speaker 3: Of course, the Israel situation too, you know, encourages ran
Speaker 3: to work more, play more nicely with our foes China
Speaker 3: and Russia. And we're just creating this this larger collective
Speaker 3: of folks who we could quote, you know, I'm using
Speaker 3: the quote fingers where quote signs on my fingers, you know, enemies,
Speaker 3: we're driving them into a more consolidated relationship.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and so some examples of us we're seeing So
Speaker 8: Argentina and Brazil are starting to explore trading denominated in
Speaker 8: the Yuan. I mean, these are places where you rule
Speaker 8: the street if you show up with dollars in your hand.
Speaker 8: But that is lessening a bit. They're more and more
Speaker 8: willing to accept the Yuan. There, Africa and country are
Speaker 8: installing Chinese built digital infrastructure, and so they're working around
Speaker 8: the ciscos and the ibms of the world that in
Speaker 8: the past have been kind of the backbone for all
Speaker 8: this kind of stuff. So these are little signs that
Speaker 8: the rest of the world is perceiving the United States
Speaker 8: a bit differently than it has in the.
Speaker 3: Past, less reliable. And I understand that we'll continue with
Speaker 3: Brian James oil prices going up. I know my price
Speaker 3: of the pump has been going down, and I've been
Speaker 3: pleasantly surprised about that. We'll see if that may continue
Speaker 3: or go the opposite direction. It's eight fifteen right now,
Speaker 3: forty five kcity talk stations. Speaking of money matters, how
Speaker 3: about saving thousands of dollars on your echo cardiogram mri
Speaker 3: CT scan and ultracund that's exactly what you will do
Speaker 3: if you don't go to the hospital imaging department, you
Speaker 3: go to Affordable Imaging Services. Been there multiple times CT
Speaker 3: scans MRI and saved G thousands with a CT scan.
Speaker 3: I've had several there, and a CT scan in a
Speaker 3: hospital run you about five grand, and you may get
Speaker 3: a separate bill for the radiologist reported. Affordable imaging services
Speaker 3: if you don't need a contrast, A CT scan is
Speaker 3: only four point fifty that includes the radiologist reports with
Speaker 3: a contrast six hundred. Got an MRI, everything turned out
Speaker 3: good on that one thirty five hundred dollars at a
Speaker 3: hospital four ninety five. I think it's one hundred and
Speaker 3: fifty more if you have to get a contrast. I
Speaker 3: did so. It was like six hundred and change compared
Speaker 3: to thirty five hundred dollars. I mean, this is serious
Speaker 3: money plus affordable image you can get you right in.
Speaker 3: You may find out that your wait time at a
Speaker 3: hospital can be weeks, if not a month. My doctor
Speaker 3: even pointed that out to me. I was in affordable
Speaker 3: the next day. Doctor ordered it on a Monday. I
Speaker 3: got the MRI on a Tuesday. That's how quick they
Speaker 3: were same equipment. Hospitals use medical professionals who've been doing
Speaker 3: this for years. There's no difference except the price. Five

Speaker 3: twenty fifty five kr CD talk station. Brian James from
Speaker 3: All with Financial in toluens a program between eight or five.
Speaker 3: We get a few segments out of them and pivoting
Speaker 3: over two oil prices. I thought oil prices were coming down.
Speaker 3: I knew what price of the pump has come down,
Speaker 3: Brian James, and I also saw, at least I thought
Speaker 3: I saw an article about Saudi Arabia increasing oil production
Speaker 3: in spite of the fact that the barrel of crude
Speaker 3: was down, So what's the story on oil price is
Speaker 3: claiming to be jumping here?
Speaker 8: Yeah, so this is coming from OPEK plus, right, Remember
Speaker 8: when everyone was just OPEK and they of OPEC plus. Well,
Speaker 8: so OPEC plus just a little bit of background of
Speaker 8: the OPEC plus is all of the countries out there
Speaker 8: that aren't necessarily the oil producers themselves, but there are
Speaker 8: supporters of it. The original OPEC Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran,
Speaker 8: Venezuela and the UAE. Now the plus means Russia, Mexico, Kazakhstan, Malaysia,
Speaker 8: and Sudan and a handful of others. In other words,
Speaker 8: the mousketeers for the United States are biggest fan club. Anyway,
Speaker 8: OPEC plus agreed that they're gonna phase out. Now this
Speaker 8: is a little bit labored the way the article phrases,
Speaker 8: but they're going to phase out. There two point two
Speaker 8: million barrels per day of voluntary cuts. That's a lot
Speaker 8: of words to say they're going to start producing more
Speaker 8: oil that started in October twenty four and they're gonna
Speaker 8: be unwinding these cuts again, meaning producing more oil by
Speaker 8: unwinding fully by June twenty fifth. So Saudi Arabia, for example,
Speaker 8: is going to increase their output from nine million to
Speaker 8: ten million barrels per day per day over the next
Speaker 8: nine months. So this is, of course, you know, supply
Speaker 8: and demand working op direction. So oil prices fell modestly
Speaker 8: after the announcement, and the Brent crew dropped to just
Speaker 8: below eighty one bucks a barrel. This is interesting because
Speaker 8: it comes at travel time. Normally, this is the time
Speaker 8: of year where we're all talking about how expensive gas
Speaker 8: is because you know, they move to the summer mix
Speaker 8: and all, we're all driving a Disney World and all that.
Speaker 10: Other fun stuff.
Speaker 8: So well, there's OPEK is certainly working in its own interests,
Speaker 8: of course, but at the same time, this could be
Speaker 8: a little bit of good news for the American consumer,
Speaker 8: at least for a little while.
Speaker 3: A little while. I suspect this might have an impact
Speaker 3: on demand for Russian oil.
Speaker 8: You could, yet it depends on the of course, the
Speaker 8: geopolitical stuff. We'll have a huge impact there, and the
Speaker 8: US is still producing. We're producing about thirteen million barrels
Speaker 8: per day and that's about record highs there, and that
Speaker 8: could offset We do have a bigger stick now than
Speaker 8: we used to because of what we've discovered with fracking
Speaker 8: and all that over the past twenty years, United States
Speaker 8: has a much bigger oil player than it used to be.
Speaker 8: So maybe this will be a summer where we don't
Speaker 8: talk about oil prices a whole lot.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I just have to observe. It's always
Speaker 3: been a problem with me, and that a thorn in
Speaker 3: my side. OPEC OPEC plus, if those were all United
Speaker 3: States oil producers, then they would be guilty as hell
Speaker 3: of a Sherman anti trust violation because they coordinate the
Speaker 3: price of oil. They regulate the price of oil by
Speaker 3: coordinating their collective output by agreement. So I mean, if
Speaker 3: they all decided they were going to tighten their belts
Speaker 3: and not produce another ten billion, ten million barrels of
Speaker 3: oil a day, the price would necessarily go up. And
Speaker 3: I mean, I just find it. It seems fundamentally unfair
Speaker 3: that they even exist as an organization although they're outside
Speaker 3: of the United States laws relating to anti trust.
Speaker 10: Yeah, no, I mean I think that is a great point.
Speaker 10: It really is.
Speaker 8: It's it's collusion at the highest level. But time, when
Speaker 8: you have all supply, you can do whatever you want
Speaker 8: with it. Imagine how far, how far behind we would be, Brian,
Speaker 8: if we hadn't figured out how to frack our own
Speaker 8: oil out of the shale here, you know, for pluses
Speaker 8: and pluses and minuses to that, but at the same time,
Speaker 8: we would really be behind the eight ball without that.
Speaker 3: It really did get us out from under the thumb
Speaker 3: of Opak to a large degree. So anyhow, let us
Speaker 3: see here, let's talk unemployment before we change gears in
Speaker 3: the next segment and talk about the inflation and what
Speaker 3: this all means to our investment. So I see unemployment
Speaker 3: claims hit a three year high, although we aren't we
Speaker 3: still at what effectively is full employment by statistics. Job
Speaker 3: was straight four point two percent in April. I thought
Speaker 3: like four percent was considered full employment here in America.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 8: Yeah, And we tend to tap dance right around the
Speaker 8: you know, most of the time things are fairly stable
Speaker 8: in over history, we tend to tap dance right around
Speaker 8: that area. We don't want you know something, my out
Speaker 8: there might be thinking, well, that's that's ninety six percent employment.
Speaker 10: That's not full employment. We don't want full employment.
Speaker 8: We don't want literally one hundred percent employment because that
Speaker 8: means we can't grow. I don't know if you might
Speaker 8: remember if you think back to that's probably twenty years ago,
Speaker 8: but remember when McDonald's in a fast food in these
Speaker 8: sort of entry level jobs, they were all paying really
Speaker 8: really significant signing bonuses for the kind of jobs that
Speaker 8: we don't normally associate with with that kind of thing.
Speaker 8: And the reason was because at that point we had
Speaker 8: I don't know, two percent unemployed or something like that.
Speaker 8: Things were just going great guns. So we don't really
Speaker 8: want to get to that, that's not a goal. But
Speaker 8: most recently, initial jobless claims rose by about twenty two thousand,
Speaker 8: up to two hundred and thirty four thousand. That's the
Speaker 8: highest level since August of twenty three, and that that
Speaker 8: is a sign of a bit of a softening labor market.
Speaker 8: So what that means is that economists feel that the
Speaker 8: job growth is cooling off, meaning that all the stuff
Speaker 8: we've been talking about forever, high interest rates and slow
Speaker 8: in consumer demand might finally be taking hold. No, remember,
Speaker 8: we had a little bit of a spike in imports
Speaker 8: in the first quarter because of everybody anticipating tariffs and
Speaker 8: kind of getting ahead of that game a little bit
Speaker 8: so that could be a bit of a distraction, but
Speaker 8: now we might be getting to the point where we're
Speaker 8: actually seeing the impact of this.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, I wouldn't mind the interest rates going
Speaker 3: down little bit making homes slightly more affordable, although until
Speaker 3: we get the supply and demand issue, or the supply
Speaker 3: issue worked out, I can't see even lower interest rates
Speaker 3: helping much at least in terms of the price of homes.
Speaker 3: Eight twenty five continue with Brian James. Are we getting
Speaker 3: used to inflation at this point as it all settled in?
Speaker 3: And also everything we've been talking about this morning might
Speaker 3: have an impact on our investments. Brian James is going
Speaker 3: to offer some thoughts on that topic as well. Eight
Speaker 3: twenty six and fifty five care so the toxationan be
Speaker 3: right back fifty five car the talk station. The medal
Speaker 3: of honor is.
Speaker 8: The highest Jenna nine first one to one of forecast.

Speaker 3: hazy and sunny Tomorrow eighty seven for the high with

Speaker 14: of Blacklin. Northbound seventy five continues to improve just a
Speaker 14: couple of extra minutes now between Buttermilk and downtown caingbram
Speaker 14: On fifty five krs.
Speaker 3: The talk station A thirty on a Monday, Brian Thomas
Speaker 3: with Brian James Money Monday. All right, so kind of
Speaker 3: a mixed bag of quasi bad. It's none of a
Speaker 3: gloom and doomy. But in terms of inflation, it looks
Speaker 3: like inflation's kind of tapered off under the FED usually
Speaker 3: looks for about two percent annually. I think that's what
Speaker 3: it's desired. Inflation goal is for a healthy inflation rate,
Speaker 3: which apparently doesn't register with people out in the day
Speaker 3: to day world. We can all manage two percent, but
Speaker 3: there was some there was a period of time where
Speaker 3: it was going through the roof. And I mean, obviously
Speaker 3: we mentioned the price of eggs earlier now free for me,
Speaker 3: but that's a real that's still kind of a sticker shot,
Speaker 3: because I think people will still remember what eggs used
Speaker 3: to be before bird flu showed up and some of
Speaker 3: the other issues showed up. But what about overall, where
Speaker 3: consumers relative to their views of inflation relative to where
Speaker 3: inflation actually is right now.
Speaker 8: Brian, Well, in the some of the news articles we're reading,
Speaker 8: as well as just in my day to day conversations
Speaker 8: with clients where we've got financial plans and we both
Speaker 8: knew what they spent five years ago. We know what
Speaker 8: they're spending now because it's my job to help them
Speaker 8: understand that. But in any case, consumers are really starting
Speaker 8: to get used to it. We're kind of acquiescing to
Speaker 8: the idea that stuff is just more expensive now. And
Speaker 8: the prior fifteen years was a great run where we
Speaker 8: didn't have inflation at all. Industrates were really really low
Speaker 8: and that was fun. But this is reality now. So
Speaker 8: so the interesting thing is, as you mentioned, the numbers
Speaker 8: aren't that bad right now. If you're just looking at
Speaker 8: year over year inflation, uh, it's about three point four
Speaker 8: percent as of May of twenty five.
Speaker 10: That's not bad.
Speaker 8: We normally want it to be in the high twos,
Speaker 8: maybe right around three percent, So it's slightly higher than that.
Speaker 8: That's that Even that itself is somewhat manageable. But we're
Speaker 8: still suffering from those couple of years a few years
Speaker 8: ago where we hit as high as nine percent, yeah,
Speaker 8: twenty two. So if you think about it, if if
Speaker 8: we say three percent is our you know, average kind
Speaker 8: of inflation expectation, well we pulled together three years of
Speaker 8: that all in one year, just in twenty two, not
Speaker 8: to mention the years around it. So people are still
Speaker 8: suffering from that, and that's what's in our heads. But
Speaker 8: at this point, people are just really just kind of
Speaker 8: making the assumption that we are now in what's called
Speaker 8: a disinflationary environment, not deflation. Every time we have inflation,
Speaker 8: we have to invent a new word for it. Disinflation
Speaker 8: means it's still going up, just not as quickly as
Speaker 8: it was before.
Speaker 10: Still inflation y, but not inflation well.
Speaker 3: And it takes time for us to forget what we
Speaker 3: used to pay for something, you know, after a while,
Speaker 3: you know, like you'll ever want So you see a
Speaker 3: meme post, you know, gasoline twenty nine cents a gown,
Speaker 3: and like, wait, is there? When the hell was that?
Speaker 3: I don't ever, I've always been whatever since my lifetime.
Speaker 3: But you know, since inflation doesn't ever retract necessarily, I mean,
Speaker 3: I know we have periods of deflation, but that's a
Speaker 3: rare occasion. We experienced that six eight nine percent inflation,
Speaker 3: but the prices haven't come down since then. They've just
Speaker 3: gone up by much less. So we're all still struggling
Speaker 3: with the fairly dramatic increase in prices of a few
Speaker 3: years ago.
Speaker 8: That's disinflation our new word for the day. You're right,
Speaker 8: that's that's exactly what has happened now. For those who
Speaker 8: might be hoping for prices to decrease and for this
Speaker 8: inflation to unwind as if it were kind of an
Speaker 8: accident on oopsee if you will, that's not gonna happen,
Speaker 8: because remember what has come up. If you're a business
Speaker 8: then you have borrowed money, you have had to give
Speaker 8: your employees wage increases just to keep them. You've got
Speaker 8: fixed costs now that are basically permanently higher for you
Speaker 8: as the business. That means you have no choice but
Speaker 8: to pass throughs through to the ultimate consumer. Maybe there's
Speaker 8: a little flexibility, but there's not going to be a lot.
Speaker 8: So those out there who might be rooting for price declines,
Speaker 8: careful what you wish for.
Speaker 3: All right. And finally, all that factors into our long
Speaker 3: term investment strategies. Some people have longer term than others.
Speaker 3: So should we be paying any attention to this or
Speaker 3: just maintain with our financial planner of diversified portfolio and
Speaker 3: a good mix of investments around the globe.
Speaker 8: Basically, well, I think we're in this is enough of
Speaker 8: a life changing event, a watershed period, if you will,
Speaker 8: that I think it's probably time to adjust our budgets,
Speaker 8: at least mentally, and just plan for permanently higher prices
Speaker 8: on things and just make sure you are first of
Speaker 8: That starts with knowing what you're spending. To begin with,
Speaker 8: a lot of people who are in a solid financial
Speaker 8: position have absolutely no idea what they're actually spending. They
Speaker 8: just know they're not running up debts and they're not
Speaker 8: piling up cash. Therefore they must be equilibrium. Well, make
Speaker 8: sure you've built in some higher prices into your overall
Speaker 8: financial plan so that you can handle what's coming over
Speaker 8: the next one, two, three, four, five years. Even if
Speaker 8: it is just moderate increases, it's still an increase you
Speaker 8: need to be able to handle fair enough.
Speaker 3: I just I'm at the point of my life, Brian,
Speaker 3: where I just I don't need anything.
Speaker 10: That does free eggs, right your shit, that is.
Speaker 3: But you know, a house is done, we don't. We
Speaker 3: don't have any We wanted to buy more furniture, we
Speaker 3: don't have any room for it. You know, we got
Speaker 3: the stuff that we like that we've had for decades.
Speaker 3: It's just like it's eternal from its stylistic standpoint, and
Speaker 3: you know, the house is paid for. I just just
Speaker 3: don't have anything to spend money on.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's that's actually for somebody out there who's a
Speaker 8: little younger than the two of us and maybe not
Speaker 8: in that same position. I think it's okay to think
Speaker 8: differently about housing than than the the current older generations
Speaker 8: have thought about it. It was it was dirt cheap for
Speaker 8: us to buy houses and pay down debt and all that.
Speaker 8: It's okay to rent for a little bit longer. Make
Speaker 8: darn sure that you are where you want to be,
Speaker 8: that you're in the town you want to be, the
Speaker 8: part of that town that you want to.
Speaker 10: Be for the long haul.
Speaker 8: Don't rush to buy a house just because of some
Speaker 8: antiquated wisdom that says houses are a great savings.
Speaker 10: Be they are not.
Speaker 3: That's you know what, That's an outstanding point. I hopefully
Speaker 3: get some people take some comfort to that because you know,
Speaker 3: being in that older generation and having that mindset that
Speaker 3: you have to own a home, and that's what you
Speaker 3: really strove to hurry up and accomplish. I mean, it
Speaker 3: wasn't necessarily a challenge for my wife, for me, but
Speaker 3: you know, it is a weight. But you know, there
Speaker 3: ain't nothing wrong with renting. It gives you flexibility too,
Speaker 3: because you get tired of a place, you can easily
Speaker 3: pack up and move on to some place else.
Speaker 8: A house is a terribly inefficient investment when you account
Speaker 8: for taxes and repairs of all other stuff.
Speaker 10: It keeps the rain off of your stuff. That's that's
Speaker 10: its job.
Speaker 3: Good point Brian James. Always a pleasure talking with you,
Speaker 3: all Ware and thanks again to all Worth Financial for
Speaker 3: loading you out. I'll look forward another edition of Monday
Speaker 3: Monday next Monday. Have a great week, my friend.

Speaker 3: Detalk station at you five Caaro see dot com podcast
Speaker 3: when you can't listen to Live Christmas smitheman on a
Speaker 3: tear and also ending his commentary with you know, uh
Speaker 3: more like a prayer that we need to support our
Speaker 3: CINCINNTI police officers. It's going to be a hot summer,
Speaker 3: he pointed out. We've got all these events coming up,
Speaker 3: and what a terrible last several days in the city
Speaker 3: of Cincinnati, and you know, God bless the City of
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Police department. I certainly have their backs and do
Speaker 3: everything I can to at least outwardly support them and
Speaker 3: say positive things on their behalf. My sister, of course,
Speaker 3: was a life you know, worked her entire life for
Speaker 3: the police department twenty five years before retirement. I've heard
Speaker 3: terrible stories, but things have gotten worse for the Cincinni police.
Speaker 3: She had to, you know, defund the police movement. The
Speaker 3: police are all races taken to the streets and not
Speaker 3: all are you know, have clean hands, but the vast
Speaker 3: majority of them do. But as we were talking about that,
Speaker 3: uget Reker had pointed out, it's okay, we're not going
Speaker 3: to have any violent in the streets this summer because
Speaker 3: Sawyer point we'll be offering free roller skating for teens
Speaker 3: every Friday this summer, right, Joe. He even wrote on
Speaker 3: the news article from this morning, this will stop this
Speaker 3: shooting anyway. Not to make light of the shootings, because
Speaker 3: I mean, get a load of this reporting from Monday,
Speaker 3: over a five day period. Over a two day period,
Speaker 3: there were five shootings Ammonel over the Rhine West End,
Speaker 3: wentin Hills Mount Airy, and you pivot over to a
Speaker 3: more recent reporting, a two year old was shot a
Speaker 3: two year old and the villages of roll Hill. Happened
Speaker 3: Saturday Nottingham Road around noontime. Unclear how the child was
Speaker 3: shot local police since the police sport Lieutenant cunning In
Speaker 3: so the child was taken to since Saint Children's is
Speaker 3: currently stable, so we can at least thank God for that.
Speaker 3: In Norwood, we had two people taken to the hospital
Speaker 3: after shooting outside an Norwood home on Saturday afternoon five
Speaker 3: thousand block of Road Island Avenue, taking a UC Medical
Speaker 3: Center in serious condition. And we had a man fatally
Speaker 3: shot crashing into a house in Forest Park on Saturday.
Speaker 3: According to Sargant Jackie Dryer with the Forest Park Police Department,
Speaker 3: twenty six year old man suffered a gunshot wound Edmund
Speaker 3: identified pronounced dead at the scene. So oh, he should
Speaker 3: have been skating, Joe. That may be a little harsh.
Speaker 3: But then I saw this article out of New York
Speaker 3: which really kind of as an exclamation point some of
Speaker 3: Christopher's points since I put New York City Police Department
Speaker 3: officers have reported a sixty three percent rise in assaults
Speaker 3: over the past six years. This is assault on police officers,
Speaker 3: nine hundred and seventy assaults on uniform police officers in
Speaker 3: the city so far this year and as at this
Speaker 3: time last year, five hundred and ninety five, so there
Speaker 3: was five hundred ninety five is way too many, but
Speaker 3: nine hundred and seventy number of assaulted cops, which includes
Speaker 3: all city law enforcement officers, is up fifty seven pair
Speaker 3: to data in the same period last year. They have
Speaker 3: reports of the trained are Aragua gang teenagers, young people
Speaker 3: fighting with police officers in Times Square after robbing two people,
Speaker 3: one off duty police officer. They've identified a person of
Speaker 3: interest that police officer beaten, held at nine point and
Speaker 3: robbed in the Bronx. And to Christopher's point, they had
Speaker 3: a retired New York Police dessarge and adjunct professor at
Speaker 3: Penn State University, Joseph Giacalone, speaking with The New York Post,
Speaker 3: and he said, you have DA's like Alvin Bragg who
Speaker 3: don't even want to prosecute felony assaults against cops. So
Speaker 3: where is the deterrence. You have a criminal justice system
Speaker 3: that's a revolving door, and people are getting arrested forty
Speaker 3: fifty sixty times. Cops are dealing with people out on
Speaker 3: the streets who are really bad and therein lies the challenge.
Speaker 3: This is, you know, the cry for our elected officials
Speaker 3: and our prosecutors and our judges to hold these violent
Speaker 3: people accountable. Word gets out. It's like the open border.
Speaker 3: You announce to the world you got an open border,
Speaker 3: and that you're not holding people, you're not keeping them
Speaker 3: out of the country. You're gonna off from all kinds
Speaker 3: of free social services. Guess what, it's a blank and magnet.
Speaker 3: When you got a revolving door. In the criminal justice system,
Speaker 3: you can get arrested this many times and there's never
Speaker 3: going to be a moment or measure of accountability. You're
Speaker 3: going to be out on the streets and no consequences whatsoever.
Speaker 3: In many cases no prosecution, so not even an arrest record.
Speaker 3: This is aminal justice system just falling apart. One of
Speaker 3: the key legs of the criminal justice system is prosecution punishment.
Speaker 3: As a warning to others who might engage in similar conduct,
Speaker 3: don't do it. We need to write the ship in
Speaker 3: this country, and who among us would want a career
Speaker 3: in law enforcement with statistics like that, most notably in
Speaker 3: a place like New York City. Just heartbreaking from my standpoint,
Speaker 3: But we can do something about it. We can be
Speaker 3: more out loud about our support for the police. We
Speaker 3: can be better about electing judges, as notably here in
Speaker 3: Hamilton County and well, I guess we'll give Connie Pillach
Speaker 3: a little time on the job. But we can be
Speaker 3: better at electing prosecutors. I think we really missed out
Speaker 3: in a golden opportunity to keep Melissa Powers in that position.
Speaker 3: At least she demonstrably went after bad guys and tried
Speaker 3: to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. In
Speaker 3: spite of the fact that she these criminals quite often
Speaker 3: would end up in front of a very liberal judge
Speaker 3: with a different view of the criminal justice system, who
Speaker 3: would not prosecute them to the full or would not
Speaker 3: hold them accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

Speaker 3: Fifty fifty five KRC ME Talk Station, Borrow bright Bird
Speaker 3: inside Scoop at eight O five and the Daniel Davis
Speaker 3: Deep Dive. Of course, we'll have a lot to talk
Speaker 3: about with Daniel Davis. It just was so surprised that
Speaker 3: Ukraine was able to get those drones in close proximity
Speaker 3: to the various era various military bases where Russia had
Speaker 3: these large scale bombers and these drones that they used
Speaker 3: they called f p V drones. They apparently can be
Speaker 3: brought for just a few hundred bucks a pop, but
Speaker 3: did seven billion dollars reportedly in damaged disabling thirty four
Speaker 3: percent of the cruise missiles cruise missile carriers at a
Speaker 3: key Russian air base. See, they got all these hundreds
Speaker 3: and hundreds of thousands, if not million dollar aircraft, million
Speaker 3: plus dollar aircraft, and a handful of very inexpensive drones
Speaker 3: blew them up and that'll curb brushes ability to launch
Speaker 3: some of these missiles that these airplanes carry. So what
Speaker 3: impact they'll have on the war? I think the one
Speaker 3: impact we can all count on it having. That's why
Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to having Daniel Davison to discuss this
Speaker 3: is you're probably going to see a pretty profound retaliation
Speaker 3: for this. But since they were planning on this for
Speaker 3: apparently well over a year, the Ukrainians were they were
Speaker 3: able to sneak these drones in and set up these
Speaker 3: little what they referred to as houses with roofs that
Speaker 3: popped up roofs, popped up drones were launched in in
Speaker 3: a matter of a few minutes. They landed on their
Speaker 3: targets quite successfully, it appears, so anyhow, Daniel Dave was
Speaker 3: always giving us a Ukraine Russia update, So keep your
Speaker 3: popcorn out on that, if I can say it, uh
Speaker 3: trying to think, well why not? Why not end on
Speaker 3: a little lighter note. I actually chuckled out loud on
Speaker 3: this one. I'm not a fan of a fan of
Speaker 3: driverless cars. Like you know, if I ordered an Uber,
Speaker 3: I'd want a driver behind the wheel of the car.
Speaker 3: I don't want to buy a Tesla for its driverless features.
Speaker 3: I'm just not comfortable with that, and I don't think
Speaker 3: I ever will be. I enjoy the active driving. I
Speaker 3: enjoy the engagement of driving. I like paying attention to
Speaker 3: the road, and I really do have a fond appreciation
Speaker 3: for the well the chess game. That's driving a lot
Speaker 3: of crazy people out there. So if you stay engaged
Speaker 3: as a driver, it can make you drive a little
Speaker 3: bit more interesting when you're trying to well keep yourself alive.
Speaker 3: So that's part of the pleasure of driving for me.
Speaker 3: If you don't have your hands on the way. You
Speaker 3: have to pay attention. It's just I don't know, I
Speaker 3: get wigged out by that anyway. Moving aside from my
Speaker 3: personal opinions about it, there's a driverless ride hill in
Speaker 3: company out there. You may have heard of it, called
Speaker 3: way Mo, apparently now operating in multiple states. They have
Speaker 3: a rotating sensor on the top of the vehicle. Pretty
Speaker 3: goofy look and think, But residents out in Santa Monica,
Speaker 3: California have headed up to their eyeballs with these driverless
Speaker 3: Waymos because they are equipped with a backup noise. The
Speaker 3: beep beep, beep beep you get from large truck large
Speaker 3: trucks and the charging lots where these Waimo driverless cars go.
Speaker 3: I guess there's some sort of automated recharging systems. You
Speaker 3: got all these residents around it and are now hearing
Speaker 3: constant beeping sounds. LA Times reported to hear it from residents.
Speaker 3: The beeping never seems to stop, largely due to the
Speaker 3: state regulation requiring vehicles to audibly reverse. Likedri delivery trucks,
Speaker 3: they beep as they back out of charging spots, they
Speaker 3: beep as they reversed to navigate around each other. They
Speaker 3: beat in the morning as they head out to pick
Speaker 3: up early passengers. They beat late at night as they
Speaker 3: returned to charge up. Yeah, that would try to drive
Speaker 3: you backcrap insane, wouldn't it. Times reported city officials and
Speaker 3: a judge and even police have been forced to intercede
Speaker 3: after residents who say the self driving cars are a
Speaker 3: nuisance have banded together against the fifty six vehicle feet
Speaker 3: that's locally anyway reached out to the city. They've called weimo.
Speaker 3: Now some are trying unconventional tactics, which is what happens
Speaker 3: using cones, cars and sometimes themselves. Residents have taken to
Speaker 3: blocking the weimos from entering the company funded parking lot,
Speaker 3: so much so that the company has then had to
Speaker 3: call the cops. I said at least a half a
Speaker 3: dozen times. They say WEMO is trying to make some
Speaker 3: efforts to reduce the noise, including quote limiting hours that
Speaker 3: staff members work at the lots, purchasing quiets or vacuums
Speaker 3: to clean the cars, and installing fast growing bamboo stands
Speaker 3: to try to absorb some of the noise. One local
Speaker 3: resident said, come on, it's lipstick on a pig baby.
Speaker 3: The issue here, according to the Mayor pro tem Carolyn Truris,
Speaker 3: is speaking with the La Times. Hey, the issue here
Speaker 3: is they are sounds that the vehicles are required to make.
Speaker 3: I'm totally sympathetic the quiet enjoyment of property. So we're
Speaker 3: trying to get this under control. Yeah, well, repeal the
Speaker 3: law that says the damn things have to beat. Seems
Speaker 3: to me that that's the actual source of the problem.
Speaker 3: My card doesn't beep when I go and reverse eight
