Speaker 1: Five o five. I think about g r C. The
Speaker 1: Dark Day jan happen Monday forty to twenty two, some
Speaker 1: sense days.
Speaker 2: We will.
Speaker 1: Sure was a vacation from this. Let me hear you
Speaker 1: all say, he oh.
Speaker 3: Three.
Speaker 1: Who never gonna let that one go? Oh what an embarrassment. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoyed the Super Bowl last night. I
Speaker 1: got to see it up to half time, went to
Speaker 1: bed happily. When I went to bed, the Eagles were winning,
Speaker 1: and apparently they ultimately won forty twenty two. Joe, did
Speaker 1: you see any of it? I know you have the
Speaker 1: strangest hours work hours ever. You watched the whole thing, Jeez, Louise,
Speaker 1: so you saw it when Taylor Swift got booed and
Speaker 1: Donald Trump got applauded, the whole thing start to finish.
Speaker 1: You happy with the outcome? Oh yeah, oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Dave Williamson, the Taxpayer Protection Line is also very Happy's
Speaker 1: big Eagles fan. He was on a light post in
Speaker 1: Philly last night. Oh that's good anyway. Now, it's pleased
Speaker 1: to see the outcome of the game when I woke
Speaker 1: up this morning, or learn of the outcome of the
Speaker 1: game when I woke up this morning. So anyway, ah,
Speaker 1: what's coming up today? Well, it's Monday, so of course
Speaker 1: Christopher Smithman joins the program, former vice mayor of the
Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati, with his thoughts and comments, which we
Speaker 1: call the smither Vent every Monday at seven twenty looking
Speaker 1: forward to Christopher out Christopher, Good morning out there, And
Speaker 1: if you're tuned into the Morning Show, and quite often
Speaker 1: he is, I occasionally will get a you know, a
Speaker 1: text message from him on my phone. It's like chiming
Speaker 1: in on some comment or another. It's a pleasure having
Speaker 1: him as a listener. Dear friend, wonderful human being, and
Speaker 1: I love his thoughts and comments on a Monday morning.
Speaker 1: I also enjoy talking to Brian James Monday Monday with
Speaker 1: Brian James every Monday at eight oh five. Coming up,
Speaker 1: Trump announcing more tariffs on China steel and aluminum. Shocking,
Speaker 1: no one insurance rates are going. Oh three ups, up,
Speaker 1: up up. That's on my rundown. Thank you, jose Chrecker
Speaker 1: for the rundown. And how much you spending on Valentine's Day.
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day's Day, I got engaged. Nothing. I haven't even
Speaker 1: given it any thought. One of the smartest things I
Speaker 1: ever did was asked my now soon to be thirty
Speaker 1: three years of marriage wife to marry me. And it
Speaker 1: didn't work out real well too. I mean I had
Speaker 1: something planning, going to take her out to dinner, and
Speaker 1: we ended up getting carry out Thai food, sat down
Speaker 1: on the living room floor and eat Thai food. And
Speaker 1: I knew it was the right thing because one of
Speaker 1: my favorite movies of all time, Costablanca, was actually on television.
Speaker 1: And so she accepted my proposal of marriage. So that
Speaker 1: was it, and we got married the following June. So
Speaker 1: it worked out really well for me. And don't spend
Speaker 1: a lot of money on a wedding. I know people
Speaker 1: are big on spending a lot of money on weddings.
Speaker 1: We just got married in the lobby of the Ritz
Speaker 1: Carlton Hotel. Management was not real happy about that too.
Speaker 1: I guess we didn't tell him it was going to happen.
Speaker 1: But we had a judge there, a friend that was
Speaker 1: a partner of the law firm I was working at,
Speaker 1: was a judge in Naples, Florida, and he was happy
Speaker 1: to show up and marry us. His wife acted as
Speaker 1: a witness and the photographer, which we hired last minute
Speaker 1: was the other witness. We told everybody we were leaving
Speaker 1: to get married and ended up having a nice party.
Speaker 1: Thank you to my mom and dad for putting that
Speaker 1: party on. But you know, look, I call that basically
Speaker 1: a zero dollar expend at your wedding compared to what
Speaker 1: you can spend on weddings, and no one seemed to suffer.
Speaker 1: Didn't want to cut and pick and choose who was
Speaker 1: going to show up. People get pissed off about something
Speaker 1: like that. How come I wasn't invited? How come you
Speaker 1: invited that person? Mean, it's like, you know what, We're
Speaker 1: not going to deal with that, We're just going to
Speaker 1: get married, you know. And some people get upset, like,
Speaker 1: well there wasn't a priest presiding or a minister presiding.
Speaker 1: He's like, no, my belief in the institution of marriage.
Speaker 1: You know, you can just you could sit down in
Speaker 1: a room with someone you love, and if you believe
Speaker 1: in God and you have faith, you make a pledge
Speaker 1: to the Almighty that you were going to marry and
Speaker 1: love and cherish and all that. It's a pledge to God.
Speaker 1: I mean, what's a pledge to the state worth Seriously?
Speaker 1: And I know. The point is he got paperwork in
Speaker 1: his documented and that means you have an obligation. Then
Speaker 1: you know child support and all that and division of property.
Speaker 1: Though all the state involvements brings from people not fulfilling
Speaker 1: their obligations which are supposed to be obligations to God.
Speaker 1: Here I am on a tear anyway, Valentine's Day, how
Speaker 1: about you going to spend on it? We're going to
Speaker 1: find out with Brian James and Mandy Gunna Sakara the
Speaker 1: book y'all fired talk with her back in October. We're
Speaker 1: going to find out what she thinks about Doge and
Speaker 1: the well draining of the swamp which is going on
Speaker 1: full on. So I've got an illustration to that. In in
Speaker 1: spite of the fact that Elon Musk has been blocked
Speaker 1: from access to the Treasury Department information, He's got some
Speaker 1: good ideas there. Even the folks in the Treasury Department
Speaker 1: have no idea where the money is going to the
Speaker 1: tune of fifty to one hundred billion dollars five three, seven,
Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two
Speaker 1: to three taco with pound five fifty on at and
Speaker 1: t phones well here what Mark has to say this morning. Mark,
Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning. Happy Monday, and welcome to
Speaker 1: the Morning Show.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Brian.
Speaker 4: So I wanted to rant here a little bit and
Speaker 4: maybe slash psa announcement for people that are in certain
Speaker 4: communities soever. I'm sure you're aware of Friday, there was
Speaker 4: a group of so called Nazi white supremacists that had
Speaker 4: manners over the top of by seventy five there in front,
Speaker 4: twelve twelve of them, right, yeah, yeah. So I was
Speaker 4: driving south on seventy five that day and I see
Speaker 4: it and I started laughing, and I'm like, okay, so
Speaker 4: this is going to start, right And then some of
Speaker 4: the guys at work were talking about it and I said, wait,
Speaker 4: I said stop, wait a minute. I said, now, think
Speaker 4: about it. Think about where they're set up. Just you know,
Speaker 4: they're going to so called protests, and they're carrying all
Speaker 4: of them, not all of them. I don't know if all
Speaker 4: of them did, but they had long guns. They are fifteen.
Speaker 4: But like, so, we had some of the guys I
Speaker 4: had a little short conversation about it, and you know,
Speaker 4: I said, think about it. This is thee it it's
Speaker 4: the same people that were hired to protest around the
Speaker 4: country years ago, and so on and so forth.
Speaker 3: So if you jump forward.
Speaker 4: To Sunday, I had to run to the office. When
Speaker 4: to get through the office, I had to run down
Speaker 4: Shepherd to down and I'm sorry, down Anthony Wayne. So
Speaker 4: as I approached Shepherd, I see a guy standing there,
Speaker 4: and there's a guy on the other street corner. They
Speaker 4: were dressed alike. And the guys standing there with an
Speaker 4: AR fifteen. This is Sunday morning, about noon, and I
Speaker 4: was on the phone with my wife and I said,
Speaker 4: what in the hell? And I thought it was I
Speaker 4: couldn't tell what color the guy was. He was fully
Speaker 4: covered up, had a mask on, and you know, I thought, well,
Speaker 4: maybe you know police are standing out here, But then
Speaker 4: it was obvious it wasn't at a policeman, and so
Speaker 4: I couldn't tell what color the guy was. So I
Speaker 4: went to the office, did what I needed to do,
Speaker 4: turned around, came back up to Shephard. So I'm still
Speaker 4: on the phone with my wife and I said, hold
Speaker 4: on a second. So I pulled over and I rolled
Speaker 4: my winded down because if it was one of the
Speaker 4: little Antifa, I won't say the word. I want to,
Speaker 4: but I was gonna just ask him, you know, what
Speaker 4: are you doing? You're Paige, get the hell out of here.
Speaker 4: But the guy pulls his mask down and he's a
Speaker 4: black guy, and I said, can I ask you a question?
Speaker 4: And he starts backing up, and again he's got an
Speaker 4: AR fifteen and I'm pulled off. I'm in my company truck.
Speaker 3: I pulled, you know, I.
Speaker 4: Pulled off the side of the right of this rolled
Speaker 4: I went to down. I said, can I ask you
Speaker 4: a question? As I say that, he starts backing up
Speaker 4: and he's raising the gun, okay, and he goes, are
Speaker 4: you a Nazi? And I started laughing. I'd like what
Speaker 4: He goes, are you a Nazi? And I said, I
Speaker 4: just want to ask.
Speaker 3: You a question.
Speaker 4: The entire time he's backing up, he grabs a radio
Speaker 4: that's on his lapel and starts radio and end a
Speaker 4: white guy and a gray bit duft truck, on and
Speaker 4: on and on.
Speaker 3: And as he's doing this.
Speaker 4: He backs up over an old cable in the lot
Speaker 4: where he's standing and almost falls backwards with a I'm
Speaker 4: assuming loaded AR fifteen. And I was like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 4: this is ridiculous. So he catches himself before he falls completely.
Speaker 4: I just said, I laughed at him. I said, you're
Speaker 4: an idiot, and I drove away. So I called an
Speaker 4: officer at Lachlan and I told him what happened, and
Speaker 4: he said, yeah. He said they've been out there about
Speaker 4: an hour. And I said, he never fully pointed the
Speaker 4: weapon at me. I said, but he was raising it.
Speaker 4: He had his finger on the trigger guard, and he
Speaker 4: never pointed it at me, but he.
Speaker 3: Was raising it.
Speaker 4: And he was backing up the entire time like I
Speaker 4: was a threat. And the officer said, yeah, they've been
Speaker 4: out there about an hour. And I said, well, I
Speaker 4: find it hard to believe that guys are allowed to
Speaker 4: stand over on an overpass with AR fifteen's number one
Speaker 4: on Friday, with all the things that have happened in
Speaker 4: this country with shootings. And then he said, well, that's
Speaker 4: they open Kerry Low in Ohio.
Speaker 3: You can open Kerry.
Speaker 4: I said, well, I get that, but I said, these
Speaker 4: so backing up overall, I try to be quick people
Speaker 4: in these communities. I don't care if you're in Chicago, Atlanta, Detroit,
Speaker 4: Saint Louis, it doesn't matter. Any of the predominantly black
Speaker 4: neighborhoods that there's a reason they picked that overpass to
Speaker 4: do this, to provoke a reaction the way that they did,
Speaker 4: and people in these communities, you got to be smart
Speaker 4: enough to understand that Donald Trump made inroads into the
Speaker 4: black vote and the Democrats and George Soros don't like it,
Speaker 4: and they're going to do whatever they can to paint
Speaker 4: this white supremacy crap. And there's probably not seven true
Speaker 4: Nazis in the entire country.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was my reaction, mark the minute I saw that,
Speaker 1: in the seemingly over reaction to these idiots stand on
Speaker 1: the overpass. There were twelve of them, and I thought
Speaker 1: the exact same thing. I think. I guess they found
Speaker 1: every member, every white supremacist they could round up, and
Speaker 1: they ended up in Lincoln Heights on the overpass. Because
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll be sixty in September. I've never run
Speaker 1: into one in real life ever. And you know why
Speaker 1: they don't project themselves because the entire world views them
Speaker 1: as idiots. Their their ideology is stupid. This racism that
Speaker 1: they expouse is not embraced by anyone who has an
Speaker 1: ounce of intellect. I mean right, Yeah, but the.
Speaker 4: Church on the church on Shepherd As I came up,
Speaker 4: it's Lincoln Heights Baptist something. I don't know that place,
Speaker 4: and maybe it's like at every Sunday, I don't know.
Speaker 4: It was absolutely jammed to the point where people were
Speaker 4: parking in the grass. Betram News was there and there
Speaker 4: was a woodlawn officer sitting outside the church in the street. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so they and I think that may have been the
Speaker 4: preacher that stood out there on the news and was
Speaker 4: talking about all that. The thing is is that these
Speaker 4: communities have to be smarter than this. Don't fall for
Speaker 4: it and understand that. I was going if that guy
Speaker 4: was one of the little hired ANTIFA actors, because I
Speaker 4: can guarantee you that probably every one of those guys
Speaker 4: were hired to do that. There were actors, it was theater.
Speaker 4: But if he was one of those guys, I was
Speaker 4: going to give him the what for and tell him
Speaker 4: to get the hell out of there. Nobody wants to
Speaker 4: see your stupidity here, you know. I was going to
Speaker 4: stand up for that community. Yeah, and I'm a white guy,
Speaker 4: but warning the white guys that are driving through Lincoln Heights,
Speaker 4: don't be surprised if you get asked if you're a Nazi.
Speaker 4: I mean, that was one of the dumbest questions I've
Speaker 4: ever been asked.
Speaker 1: In my Lifeunderstood, Mark, I mean understand.
Speaker 4: It bothered me so bad.
Speaker 1: I can hear it is going to happen.
Speaker 4: It's going to happen across the country.
Speaker 3: In fact, I spoke with somebody.
Speaker 4: That said that it's already happening down south as well.
Speaker 1: So it is. Well, I I feel very confident that
Speaker 1: it is theater. But what really struck me is the
Speaker 1: most bizarre thing is somehow a group of twelve let's
Speaker 1: say they are the twelve Nazis that you could round
Speaker 1: up if you were looking for them, that somehow Donald
Speaker 1: Trump had a connection with them being on an overpass
Speaker 1: in Lincoln Heights. Like, uh, what, okay, that's an onione.
Speaker 1: That's an unhinged leftist reaction. People who have the Trumps
Speaker 1: arrangements under him, with Donald Trump living rent free in
Speaker 1: their head and he's responsible for every evil in the world.
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, Mark, appreciate it very much. Good hearing from you.

Speaker 1: I really, really really appreciate folks using that I Heard
Speaker 1: media app. I'm thankfully very great numbers when it comes
Speaker 1: to the fifty five Carse Morning Show streaming hours. Really,
Speaker 1: you know, the time spent listening to that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: They pay close attention to it, and it's a good
Speaker 1: thing for the show, and it makes me feel good anyhow,
Speaker 1: also makes me feel good when you call. Anyhow, what
Speaker 1: let's see here? Pivoting over to nothing in particular except
Speaker 1: the fact I saw a couple of articles about how
Speaker 1: outrageously expensive it was for stuff and things to buy
Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl one hundred dollars for a salad,
Speaker 1: seventeen dollars for a beer like okay, And I was
Speaker 1: thinking about the problem we're having with the Brown family
Speaker 1: and the negotiations over the stadium improvements, and they're sort
Speaker 1: of veiled threat to take the team and leave, okay,
Speaker 1: And how much it costs to buy a beer over
Speaker 1: at the stadium, And I keep thinking, well, wait a second,
Speaker 1: isn't the future of football people like watching it on
Speaker 1: their jumbo trons at home and drinking in relatively early,
Speaker 1: comparatively inexpensive beer of your own choice. And a clean bathroom,
Speaker 1: assuming you keep your bathroom clean at least it's not
Speaker 1: a public bathroom. Food's probably better at home when you
Speaker 1: prepared it home, so you know. And the literally insanity
Speaker 1: the money that public money that is spent on these
Speaker 1: privately owned football teams. Pivot over to Utah. This is
Speaker 1: pretty funny Utah taxpayers, maybe, and much of the chagrin
Speaker 1: of Riverton, Utah mayor trans Stags spending more than a
Speaker 1: billion dollars to build a gondola project that'll ferry skiers
Speaker 1: up to some elite ski resorts. Mayor tran Stags says
Speaker 1: unfair subsidy and waste and abuse of taxpayer money. Criticize
Speaker 1: the use of public funds for this massive skila project. Quote.
Speaker 1: Government's job is not to pit winners. And losers spending
Speaker 1: over one billion dollars in taxpayer funds that transport skiers
Speaker 1: the two resorts does just that. In no stretch of
Speaker 1: the imagination. Is that the role of taxpayers to foot
Speaker 1: the bill to help two ski resorts? Good? Well stated Amen.
Speaker 1: Apparently the Utah Department of Transportation recently approved this project
Speaker 1: will build the world's largest gondola to take steers skiers
Speaker 1: up to snow Bird and Alta resorts in Little Cottonwood Canyon.
Speaker 1: Total cost one point four billion dollars in taxpayer money.
Speaker 1: Does that make any sense? Does that sound justifiable? According
Speaker 1: to Breitbart reporting, while some have defended the plan, sighting traffic,
Speaker 1: congestion and environmental concerns in the canyon, the project just
Speaker 1: face growing pushback from local businesses and residents who argue
Speaker 1: it's a misuse of taxpayer funds and primarily benefits private resorts,
Speaker 1: which it does. How does something like this even happen? Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: Trump is going to be looking into that California railroad
Speaker 1: boondoggle project, another multi, multi, multi, multi billion dollar project
Speaker 1: you and I'll be paying for so they can have
Speaker 1: a QW two train that takes people from point A
Speaker 1: to point B, and really the first line of that
Speaker 1: particular segment we can talk about it later, is between
Speaker 1: places that no one really wants to go back and forth.
Speaker 1: Roses on the phone, take your call as soon as
Speaker 1: they get back from these brief words. The days of
Speaker 1: relaxing Parley, cloudy day to day high forty and overnight
Speaker 1: low of thirty one with snow possible. Winter Weather Advisory
Speaker 1: starts at four am Tomorrow. Light a snow expected along
Speaker 1: in south of the Ohio River. One to two inches
Speaker 1: of snowfall, possibly slick spots, of course, and even rain
Speaker 1: at times high a thirty five tomorrow, over night down
Speaker 1: to twenty eight slick again, snow will end. The winter
Speaker 1: weather Advisory ends at seven am on Wednesday. Get some light,
Speaker 1: afternoon rain and evening rain on Wednesday with a higher
Speaker 1: forty right now thirty time fifty five pairs to Detalk
Speaker 1: stations five twenty nine. Happy Monday, three seven nine, two
Speaker 1: to three talk. That's who what Roz has got to say. Roz,
Speaker 1: thanks for calling, holding over the break there, Welcome to
Speaker 1: the Morning Show.
Speaker 5: Oh, thank you so much, Brian, and thank you for
Speaker 5: taking my call. I listened to you every morning. By
Speaker 5: the way, and I remember the morning, I think it
Speaker 5: was last week where you wondered if anybody was listening
Speaker 5: at five o'clock, and I'm always listening at five.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Ros.
Speaker 5: It's a wonderful show. In any event, I really do
Speaker 5: agree with much of what Mark had to say, because
Speaker 5: my first impression when I learned about the incident was that,
Speaker 5: you know, it could be genuine, although it also could
Speaker 5: be Antifa and Black Lives Matter, because you don't know
Speaker 5: the race of these people because they're totally covered. Now.
Speaker 5: You know my take because I talked with a friend
Speaker 5: of mine at length yesterday about this, and he and
Speaker 5: I are both very strong supporters of President Trump now
Speaker 5: and going all the way back to twenty sixteen, so
Speaker 5: he had not a ray. But I know that this
Speaker 5: incident is having an effect on black people that I know,
Speaker 5: and I can appreciate that, and I'm very sensitive to
Speaker 5: that because among my family and friends there are people
Speaker 5: who have been victimized, not in recent years, but decades
Speaker 5: back and having to flee the South because of the
Speaker 5: threat of the clan. Now, my idea is that there
Speaker 5: needs to be an investigation of these incidents because they
Speaker 5: are proliferating, and I believe that it's incumbent on our
Speaker 5: local authorities. You know, I kept thinking yesterday if Countie
Speaker 5: Pillage was an office as our county prosecutor, there probably
Speaker 5: already would be some kind of statement or Joe did,
Speaker 5: or some kind of statement about an investigation, or maybe
Speaker 5: a contact with BCI and our Attorney General in Ohio,
Speaker 5: or even all the way up the line to the FBI.
Speaker 5: And I remember during Cash Betel's hearings that you know,
Speaker 5: he said that he wanted to get people out in
Speaker 5: the field to do their job. And I think that
Speaker 5: an investigation would serve two valuable purposes. One if it
Speaker 5: is authentic. These two organizations have records of being deadly
Speaker 5: terrorist organizations, and I find it very, very difficult to
Speaker 5: dismiss what they have done because they've been strategic in
Speaker 5: doing their demonstrations, first near Lincoln Heights, which is the
Speaker 5: largest predominantly African American municipality north of the Mason Dixon line.
Speaker 5: And then they have been strategic in terms of the
Speaker 5: Shepherd Avenue location that Mark was talking about. There is
Speaker 5: a prominent African American church in the city of Cincinnati,
Speaker 5: and also one in Lincoln Heights. And I don't know
Speaker 5: what end of shepherds that Mark was talking about, but
Speaker 5: all of this is very chilling to me. If it
Speaker 5: is fraud, and if it is pantomime, then it's not
Speaker 5: good for the president or the country. And where we
Speaker 5: at the being so divided right now, Well, I ask.
Speaker 1: You this, I'm just kind of curious in terms of investigation,
Speaker 1: what what would be your hope, what type of investigation,
Speaker 1: what would the purpose of the investigation people.
Speaker 5: Are and what and they need to be monitored because
Speaker 5: we are an open cary state and I do support
Speaker 5: the Second Amendments, but there are people who are going
Speaker 5: to push back against this threat, whether it's real or proceived,
Speaker 5: and so I don't know. I'm not an attorney, so
Speaker 5: I don't know what the limits are. But there needs
Speaker 5: to be a contact by our elected officials to say this,
Speaker 5: and I think that that I don't know that the
Speaker 5: sheriff has said anything about the security of our citizens,
Speaker 5: our fellow citizens in Hamilton County who live in Lincoln
Speaker 5: Heights or who live in predominantly African American areas like Woodlawn.
Speaker 5: But something needs to be done, because you know, if
Speaker 5: we can be outraged about terror across the ocean called
Speaker 5: hamas as I have been since October seventh, and even
Speaker 5: before then October seventh of twenty twenty three. We need
Speaker 5: to be outraged about real or play acting terrorists, and
Speaker 5: actually Antifa and BLM, as far as I'm concerned, they
Speaker 5: are terrorists organizations because they've burned down Minneapolis and they
Speaker 5: have protested violently. So we need an investigation to find
Speaker 5: out who these people really are. If they are bona
Speaker 5: fide members of the Klan and the Neo Nazi Party,
Speaker 5: they need to be investigated. And you know, if you
Speaker 5: can send hundreds of innocent people to jail for months
Speaker 5: on end at the Capitol, then I think that this
Speaker 5: is something that needs to be investigated to expose whether
Speaker 5: they're real or authentic. And I think the benefits would
Speaker 5: be great for the President and for the conservative movement
Speaker 5: and the Republican Party, and I think it's really past
Speaker 5: time for our leadership to really speak out. I think
Speaker 5: that Mayor Purevolve was contacted by CNN and got a statement,
Speaker 5: but I'd like to know what the mayor of Lincoln
Speaker 5: Heights and Woodland have to say and what our law
Speaker 5: enforcement people have to say county wide, and our new
Speaker 5: prosecutor what she has to say, and go right up
Speaker 5: the line to the Bureau of BCI at the state
Speaker 5: level and the FBI, because I remember as a child
Speaker 5: the FBI going down South after the murders of civil
Speaker 5: rights workers to investigate these organizations.
Speaker 1: See, and here's you got a lot to unpackage on this.
Speaker 1: First off, anytime there is criminal behavior by any group,
Speaker 1: whether it's the Nazis or the BLM, if they're burning things,
Speaker 1: breaking things, harming people, than those are acts of criminal
Speaker 1: behavior which can be investigated and prosecuted. Now, as to
Speaker 1: the Azis, if they are if they weren't Nazis and
Speaker 1: they were fake actors, didn't they invite themselves to perhaps
Speaker 1: have an entire community of black people attack them and
Speaker 1: give them the beatdown that they might deserve because they
Speaker 1: embraced Nazism, But then backing away from that just because
Speaker 1: you expouse Nazism. I mean, it's we live in a
Speaker 1: country with free speech. If you want to be an
Speaker 1: idiot and voice your opinion in support of racism, you're
Speaker 1: going to reveal yourself to be the idiot that you are.
Speaker 1: That's what the that's what the exact point of free
Speaker 1: speech is. Free speech you can expouse the dumbest things ever,
Speaker 1: and the public will judge you accordingly, and you're not
Speaker 1: going to get a whole lot of people supporting your
Speaker 1: stupidity when you talk out loud. It's one of the
Speaker 1: reasons they probably covered their face, assuming they were real Nazis,
Speaker 1: they didn't want to reveal to the world who they
Speaker 1: actually are. They may have jobs and they would lose
Speaker 1: them if they're out expousing racism. I mean, the whole
Speaker 1: thing is it's just you know. I got to also
Speaker 1: point out one of the most profound support of the
Speaker 1: free speech was in fact a free speech opinion in
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court of the United States of America, which
Speaker 1: upheld the rights of Nazis to go out and say
Speaker 1: the stuff that they say. I mean, that's the good
Speaker 1: thing about free speech. You know where the idiots are.
Speaker 1: So I don't know what's to investigate. I don't know,
Speaker 1: and I haven't heard anything about them engaging in criminal behavior.
Speaker 1: That you might fear the Nazis if they are because
Speaker 1: of their ideology. I understand the fear and the concern
Speaker 1: someone of the black community might have for them. But
Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen, I think you outnumber them like a
Speaker 1: gazillion to one, and you know what, you'd have the
Speaker 1: support of the vast majority of every citizen in the
Speaker 1: United States of America in your efforts to well tell
Speaker 1: them they're morons and their ideology is stupid. But I
Speaker 1: personally have political opinions. Everybody knows in Ro's I can't
Speaker 1: thank you for listening to the show. I'm a little
Speaker 1: ill libertarian and I expouse small government and the right
Speaker 1: for you to decide where you want to spend your
Speaker 1: money and who you want to sleep with. Should I
Speaker 1: be investigated, I haven't committed any acts of crime. Just think,
Speaker 1: you know, think about it. Five thirty eight, call into it.
Speaker 1: We can further discuss this. I know it's a real
Speaker 1: hot topic this week because of the idiots that gathered
Speaker 1: on the bridge in Lincoln Heights. Stick around, be right
Speaker 1: back after these brief words.
Speaker 6: This is fifty five KARC an iHeartRadio station in today's market.
Speaker 1: About krcity Talk station, and try to have a happy Monday.
Speaker 1: Before I get stuck and stupid. Going to go over
Speaker 1: to the phone. It's got Dennis on the phone. Dennis,
Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning, Welcome in the Morning show.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I work in trucking in the Cincinnati area and
Speaker 7: we're watching on the camera. One of our drivers told
Speaker 7: us about this over effort, and I would about guarantee
Speaker 7: about ninety five percent that those quote unquote Nazis, if
Speaker 7: you're following them back to where they were coming from,
Speaker 7: probably the FBI building over off on the guvernment, probably
Speaker 7: the holdovers that don't want to get fired by cash.
Speaker 8: To tell.
Speaker 1: Honest, leave that sit out there, Dennis. It's easy for
Speaker 1: people to come up with conclusions like that given the
Speaker 1: stuff that we actually know has happened at the FBI
Speaker 1: and other of our government agencies. Yeah, I mean it
Speaker 1: lends itself to create to come up with these hypotheses,
Speaker 1: these theories. These some say conspiracy theories, some say pattern
Speaker 1: of observations. Yeah, no one knows. And you know what's
Speaker 1: with the whole idea of completely covering and masking oneself
Speaker 1: truly truly believe in something. Aren't you able to just
Speaker 1: go out into the world unmasked and voice your opinion.
Speaker 1: We got bad actors on all sides of the ledger.
Speaker 1: They have to cover themselves up completely all my god,
Speaker 1: facial recognition software is literally everywhere. Cameras are literally everywhere. Anyhow,
Speaker 1: I'd just like to observe that. You know, if you
Speaker 1: want to walk into a neighborhood like Lincoln Heights waving
Speaker 1: a Nazi flag and talking about white supremacy, I think
Speaker 1: you might invite a beat down. And honestly, I think
Speaker 1: I mean and Joe Strecker did say they were engaged
Speaker 1: in criminal activity. Said the following day apparently they tore
Speaker 1: down some signs that people had placed up talking about
Speaker 1: damage cars. That was it. I did not see that
Speaker 1: in the news. Thank you Joe Strecker for paying closer
Speaker 1: attention to what's going on locally than I have been.
Speaker 1: But damaging cars equal arrest. Standing around screaming nonsense about
Speaker 1: your political ideology is part of free speech. Read your
Speaker 1: First Amendment and look at the case law supporting it.
Speaker 1: Not to say their message is welcome, but opinions are
Speaker 1: like sphincters. Everybody's got one. Let's see here real quick,
Speaker 1: here I get to the one of the stackers. Stupid.

Speaker 1: of course, went to bed at the at halftime, so
Speaker 1: I didn't watch the halftime show? Was it as bad
Speaker 1: as I see all the reports telling me it was bad?
Speaker 1: Joe that you said you watch the whole thing. If
Speaker 1: I was over twenty five, I probably hated it, Okay,
Speaker 1: that I didn't miss anything. Your kids did like it? Okay,
Speaker 1: fair enough, Joe quote. I did not understand it, although
Speaker 1: his children enjoyed it. Anyhow. If you feel like Colin
Speaker 1: got something to talk about, feel free to call five one, three,
Speaker 1: seven four nine, Fife five eight hundred and eighty two
Speaker 1: to three Talk Pound FI fifty on eight and T
Speaker 1: founds and uh. Joe provided me with an update, and
Speaker 1: I guess at Local twelve hit a little more information
Speaker 1: than I was aware of. After that neo Nazi group
Speaker 1: or alleged neo Nazi group was up in Lincoln Heights
Speaker 1: on the bridge. You know, idiots doing idiot things because
Speaker 1: they're idiots. Of course, a lot of people don't believe
Speaker 1: they really were Neo Nazis. You do have an open
Speaker 1: carry law in Ohio, and it doesn't matter what political
Speaker 1: affiliation you are, You're allowed to carry open And I
Speaker 1: know some people don't like that. And personally, as a
Speaker 1: huge Second Amendment fan and someone who gets great thrills
Speaker 1: out of going to the gun range and shooting paper
Speaker 1: or steel targets or clay pigeons, I don't like open carry.
Speaker 1: I don't, but you can have it. Of course, Supreme
Speaker 1: Courts on record saying even if you are a Nazi,
Speaker 1: you can go out and spew Nazi crap to the world,
Speaker 1: which is I always loved the point out. That's the
Speaker 1: good thing about free speech. You know who the idiots are. Anyway,
Speaker 1: some local guy apparently the following day, was trying to
Speaker 1: spread the message of love, countering the message of hate
Speaker 1: obviously promoted by the neo Nazis, if they were Last
Speaker 1: Name's bone cutter, which I thought was rather interesting. So
Speaker 1: you can only fight hate with love. So I felt
Speaker 1: like it was important of the message out in place
Speaker 1: where Lincoln Heights, where I know is feeling scared, putting
Speaker 1: up love signs, promoting love, promoting unity. Concerned citizen boarded
Speaker 1: into the group that their cars were being damaged. Now
Speaker 1: here's where crime comes in. You can't arrest people for
Speaker 1: their idiot's speech, but you sure can arrest them if
Speaker 1: they're committing damage to automobiles. He said, he was warned.
Speaker 1: He said, Hey, they're damaging you guys cars. They're smashing windows,
Speaker 1: he said. He continued to hang the signs. He discovered
Speaker 1: that his SUV and another couple vehicles that had their
Speaker 1: cars smashed by rocks. Apparently this neat so called neo
Speaker 1: Nazi group arrived in a U haul on Friday, and
Speaker 1: apparently a U haul was seen near the vehicles where
Speaker 1: the vandalism occurs. Was it the same one? Somebody got
Speaker 1: a license plate down, that'd be a helpful piece of
Speaker 1: information for law enforcement, the license plate of the obviously
Speaker 1: rented vehicle to be able to track it down figure
Speaker 1: out who rented it. That would answer a lot of
Speaker 1: questions that are spiraling around out there. So they got
Speaker 1: back to the parking lot, he found dozens of Lincoln
Speaker 1: Heights residents and thank God for them giving their support.
Speaker 1: He said, they were taping up my windows, vacuuming out
Speaker 1: my car where the glass was broken, giving me hugs.
Speaker 1: I just couldn't say enough about that community. He said,
Speaker 1: that's family. And apparently, during the initial Neo Nazi rally
Speaker 1: on Friday, and this was something I wasn't aware of,
Speaker 1: the Lincoln Heights residence demanded the group leave and broke
Speaker 1: through law enforcement barricades and set fire to one of
Speaker 1: the Neo Nazis flag, forcing the Neo Nazis to depart,
Speaker 1: which is the kind of reaction I would expect from
Speaker 1: the residents of Lincoln Heights if they're invaded by a
Speaker 1: bunch of not well, it was even a bunch of
Speaker 1: Nazis with twelve or thirteen of them, which, as I
Speaker 1: mentioned in the last hour, was probably every single one
Speaker 1: if they were Nazis, every single one that actually exists.
Speaker 1: They're idiots. Their philosophy is batcrap insane. I have an
Speaker 1: entire stack of failure in front of me, and it
Speaker 1: all relates to green projects. Let's start with the ev buses.
Speaker 1: Biden administration awarded some Canadian electric bus company called Lion
Speaker 1: Electric one hundred and sixty million dollars of your hard
Speaker 1: earned taxpayer money to manufacture hundreds of battery powered buses
Speaker 1: for school districts across this great Lion of Bars part
Speaker 1: of its climate agenda. Sorry, Lion initiated bankruptcy, proceeding laid
Speaker 1: off almost all of its employees, the ones that at
Speaker 1: least were building the buses, and stopped its manufacturing operations. Hmmm,
Speaker 1: leaving dozens of school districts questioning whether they're going to
Speaker 1: receive the buses that the Biden administration promised them. I
Speaker 1: think the answers pretty much know. Lyon has yet to
Speaker 1: deliver ninety five million dollars worth of electric buses to
Speaker 1: fifty five districts that were promised it across the country.
Speaker 1: Don Wallace, superintendent of Ohio Valley School District in Adams County.
Speaker 1: At this time, we were working through the proper channels
Speaker 1: and keeping our attorneys abreast of the situation. They ordered
Speaker 1: buses from Lyon, and they said, no buses have been
Speaker 1: delivered to our district. Were on hold, and you're going
Speaker 1: to stay on hold. Too, because the company went belly
Speaker 1: up sort of points out, raising questions about whether the
Speaker 1: recipients of literally billions and billions of dollars of your
Speaker 1: money on green spending were vetted properly hmm, or whether
Speaker 1: federal officials looked the other way when doing out funds
Speaker 1: to Lion, which had been apparently struggling financially for years.
Speaker 1: And of course, green energy companies like Line dependent on
Speaker 1: government funding and fail even after winning lucrative government contracts.
Speaker 1: Remember Soleindra. Yeah, there's a great illustration of it. Between
Speaker 1: October twenty two and May twenty four, the Biden administration
Speaker 1: awarded Lion a total of one hundred and five one
Speaker 1: hundred nine fifty nine million dollars, which was supposed to
Speaker 1: manufacture four hundred and thirty five bus buses. This under
Speaker 1: the EPA's five billion with a Big Clean School Bus program.
Speaker 1: Lyon the third largest beneficiary of the program created by
Speaker 1: Democrats twenty twenty one Infrastructure Bill. Do you remember that one?
Speaker 1: Don't you? Lyon got the funding became Biden administration's favorite
Speaker 1: while struggling to turn a profit. You had took in
Speaker 1: millions of dollars of loans less than two weeks before
Speaker 1: the EPA gave Yan eighty two point seven million dollars.
Speaker 1: That was in October. At twenty two, the company reported
Speaker 1: it to investors that had lost seventeen point two million
Speaker 1: dollars in the prior three months alone. Since twenty twenty
Speaker 1: lions losses three hundred and one point six million dollars
Speaker 1: get a load of its stock price. Since January twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one, the stock price went from thirty three dollars
Speaker 1: and forty eight cents per share to eight cents. Apparently,
Speaker 1: the company stopped reporting at share price on its website
Speaker 1: back in December, and they said, I think the free
Speaker 1: beacon on this one. Give credit where credits due. Lion
Speaker 1: got a slap on the risk from the Securities Exchange
Speaker 1: Commission last year after misreporting several key figures. March twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four, group of investors hit Line with a class
Speaker 1: action lawsuit, ledging the company withheld the truth about supply
Speaker 1: chain problems and misled investors using grossly unrealistic financial projections.
Speaker 1: Amid the struggles, though the company assured investors during a
Speaker 1: November earnings call, I love this statement. It remained quote
Speaker 1: well positioned to benefit from continued strong regulatories tailwinds. Close
Speaker 1: quote referencing the clean school bus program in the EPA's
Speaker 1: three billion dollar Clean Port Program regulatory tail ones. You
Speaker 1: know what that means. We're in good financial shape because
Speaker 1: the government is dolling out moneys to our failed company
Speaker 1: thanks to regulations which if regulations did not exist, this
Speaker 1: company wouldn't have in a dime, would never have made
Speaker 1: any money in the first place. We're supporting failed entities,
Speaker 1: failed institutions, and propping up businesses that produced products that
Speaker 1: know every one wants to buy in a real world.
Speaker 1: A month after that November earnings call, that's when Line
Speaker 1: filed for bankruptcy protection in Canada. They started a bankruptcy
Speaker 1: proceedings in an Illinois federal court weeks after. It laid
Speaker 1: off all of its employees, with the exception of one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty of them who were tasked with customer
Speaker 1: service and maintenance duties. They halted production at their nine
Speaker 1: hundred thousand square foot manufacturing facility in Joliet, Illinois, opened
Speaker 1: only eighteen months earlier, amid a huge ceremony including Governor JB.
Speaker 1: Prinzker's Senator Dick Durban and Tammy Duckworth, at which Pritzker
Speaker 1: said of the ceremony, the future of Illinois relies on
Speaker 1: dependable clean energy jobs. Local officials said that plant would
Speaker 1: bring fourteen hundred jobs to the reason and not. That's
Speaker 1: just one of about ten articles I have on failed
Speaker 1: green energy products projects rather failed billions. And you know,
Speaker 1: all of this is unrelated to the work that this
Speaker 1: DOGE department is doing. And if I hear another person
Speaker 1: complain about Elon Musk not elected in not explaining doctor
Speaker 1: Fauci wasn't elected or wasn't elected, this is the government
Speaker 1: is filled with unelected officials and maybe therein lies the problem.
Speaker 1: Twenty two to three Route forty two between Mason eleven
Speaker 1: has a Friday night date night every week. I love
Speaker 1: this concept because I, uh, when I was a single man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did take dates to the range, and I'm recommending
Speaker 1: you do it anyway. Two people shoot for an hour
Speaker 1: for a twenty one dollars lane fee. Valentine's Day on
Speaker 1: Friday evening makes it perfect, so don't stress about your plans.
Speaker 1: Go to twenty two to three dot com and click
Speaker 1: on the Valentine's Day link right in the homepage. Leaving
Speaker 1: get two Valentine's Day targets, So do something together. Head
Speaker 1: to twenty two three on Valentine's Day or really any day.
Speaker 1: Has some fun again on Route forty two between Mason
Speaker 1: and eleven and online the number twenty two fly by
Speaker 1: the word three spelled out twenty two three dot com
Speaker 1: fifty five KRC. This is Ashley can at a from
Speaker 1: the Ben and Ashley I six twenty fifty five Krcity
Speaker 1: talk station in five one, three, seven, four nine fifty
Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three talking to go straight to
Speaker 1: the phone and welcome all callers, and we'll go in
Speaker 1: the order in which they'll receive, which means Bobby is first. Bobby,
Speaker 1: welcome to the show, my brother.
Speaker 12: A simple thank you can't express our true feelings with
Speaker 12: appreciation you carring that torture, freedom, high and bride every day.
Speaker 3: My brother.
Speaker 1: Thanks man. I do appreciate the kind words.
Speaker 3: Hey.
Speaker 12: I believe in in peaceful protest. But these boys from
Speaker 12: California and Tennessee driving these vehicles down there, and they
Speaker 12: just don't have any experience. They need to get us
Speaker 12: some glowed sticks. Go down the East Price Hill about
Speaker 12: mid nine, start looking down the sidewalks. That is a
Speaker 12: good piece or protest.
Speaker 1: You talk about the Nazis whatever.
Speaker 3: Do you think they were?
Speaker 12: But they were not Caucasian wrapped up in those outfits were.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I did not see them personally. I
Speaker 1: just saw the overhead view and it looked like there
Speaker 1: was maybe twelve or thirteen of them, which is I've
Speaker 1: pointed out several times this morning probably represents the entire
Speaker 1: quantity of clan members in the country, and they cover
Speaker 1: themselves up completely. Why is that? You know, are they
Speaker 1: afraid to reveal who they are and the message that
Speaker 1: they're spreading. They leave people to invite speculation as to
Speaker 1: whether they're really Nazis or not. I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1: You know, the only time I've ever heard of a
Speaker 1: black Nazi is that Dave Chappelle comedy routine, the blind
Speaker 1: guy who's black who hates Black people. I mean, it
Speaker 1: was just it was side splittingly funny. He got a
Speaker 1: little controversy over it, but he made some pretty comedic
Speaker 1: points about it. But beyond that, they typically, at least
Speaker 1: I've understood him, a bunch of stupid, racist white people.
Speaker 1: So why would you cover yourself up if you don't
Speaker 1: really truly embrace them believe in your message. How come
Speaker 1: you're not out in public talking about it more often?
Speaker 1: Because no one embraces your message or or their plants
Speaker 1: designed to stir the pot of division. And somehow Donald
Speaker 1: Trump gets blamed for that little demonstration. I mean, what
Speaker 1: the hell is that all about?
Speaker 3: Go?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Trump put them there? What God, Bobby, thank you
Speaker 1: for helping me again further reveal the absurdity of this
Speaker 1: entire situation. But you know what, they had a big
Speaker 1: anti rally over faith leaders in Lincoln Heights. I got
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of people together to protest the Nazis.
Speaker 1: And fine, I welcome that that spread the message of
Speaker 1: love exactly, but maybe maybe just raise a jaundiced eye
Speaker 1: of skepticism that those were really Nazis showing up in
Speaker 1: your neighborhood. And how I mean, maybe you can say, yes,
Speaker 1: they had to be Nazis, because first off, only Nazis
Speaker 1: would embrace that stupid concept of a philosophy. It will
Speaker 1: be dumb enough to go into the most predominantly black
Speaker 1: neighborhood that exists in the greater Cincinnati area. Thirteen of
Speaker 1: them or twelve of them outnumbered much potential beat down perhaps,
Speaker 1: And you know, juries don't have to convict you, like
Speaker 1: if you beat down a Nazi and you were tried
Speaker 1: for beating down a Nazi. I mean, the jury doesn't
Speaker 1: have to convict you. They can just say, you know what, no,
Speaker 1: how about not guilty, Mississippi James. Good to hear from you, man,
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Morning Show. Hey, good morning, brother Brian.
Speaker 3: No Lincoln, Heke got some pressure issues out there. But
Speaker 3: this is a question that I've been pondering the last
Speaker 3: couple of weeks now, speaking of de firm in action,
Speaker 3: consit to create all those programs that was established for
Speaker 3: a certain reason, Adam beginning to ask the question do
Speaker 3: you think they was necessary? And I'll tell you why.
Speaker 3: I expect portion after I hear you am.
Speaker 1: No, I don't. I've been regularly pointing out because I'm
Speaker 1: coming to grips with my own mortality lately, Mississippi James,
Speaker 1: coming up on sixty years old in September. While we're
Speaker 1: nine months away from that, I still feel like it's
Speaker 1: creeping up. But in my existence, I have encountered racism.
Speaker 1: But you know what, over my entire life, during my
Speaker 1: working career, I have worked with many people of varying backgrounds, ethnicities, colors, creeds, races,
Speaker 1: the whole nine yards. I have worked with extraordinary, competent
Speaker 1: people of color. I never looked down on them, thought
Speaker 1: anything about it. Everything seemed to be working on Fine.
Speaker 1: I've worked. I have lived in states that were you know,
Speaker 1: had senators that were black and Asian, and we've had
Speaker 1: governors and Ken Blackwell was the mayor of the city
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati in nineteen eighty. I mean, I haven't I
Speaker 1: just know, I don't think DEI mean the problem with
Speaker 1: DII is the equity part diversity cool inclusion. Fine, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't care what sexuality somebody is. I want the
Speaker 1: best and brightest. I want merit to rule the day.
Speaker 1: Equity is the antithesis of merit. It's when you hire
Speaker 1: people based upon some racial checkbox or some sexual checkbox,
Speaker 1: not because they're the best in the group of people
Speaker 1: applying for the job, but only because they fit some
Speaker 1: social expectation created by a bunch of I don't know
Speaker 1: sociologists in college. I have no idea your your comments.
Speaker 3: Okay, and it's come out of you know, seeing these
Speaker 3: growing up and seeing these white only signs are either
Speaker 3: colored waiting area.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Jim Crow and.
Speaker 3: That stuff put it there. So a lot of program
Speaker 3: prevented people from moving forward.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but sixty four Civil Rights Act ended all of that.
Speaker 1: Litigation ended all of that. It is absolutely outright illegal
Speaker 1: to discriminate or say whites only and serve only white
Speaker 1: people or forced black people to sit in the back
Speaker 1: of the bus.
Speaker 3: So that was a part of it. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: it ended on the leglation side. Then you had to
Speaker 3: do a physical part to make it better.
Speaker 1: The Civil War was the original act of defiance, and
Speaker 1: a lot of white people fought for the liberation and
Speaker 1: freedom of slaves in the South. That's where it starts.
Speaker 1: But it takes time to change the hearts and minds
Speaker 1: of people. And that's when Jim crowch showed up and
Speaker 1: you started having laws enacted locally that ultimately were overturned
Speaker 1: by the Supreme Court of the United States of America
Speaker 1: because they were fundamentally at odds with the Fourteenth Amendment
Speaker 1: and other amendments the United States Constitution. I mean time
Speaker 1: changes hearts and minds, and I appreciate and embrace the
Speaker 1: efforts of folks like doctor Martin Luther King Junior. But
Speaker 1: even he was against equity, content of character, not color
Speaker 1: of skin. So over time change hearts and minds, and
Speaker 1: I'm part of that group of people whose hearts and
Speaker 1: minds were changed over time. I didn't grow up in
Speaker 1: a racist environment. I didn't grow up in a family
Speaker 1: that said black people were somehow inferior to anybody else.
Speaker 1: I grew up in a household that said, get your
Speaker 1: butt into school and study and learn something so you
Speaker 1: can eat and pay for yourself. Thankfully it worked out,
Speaker 1: I've always said many times, and here it comes yet again.
Speaker 1: The greatest gift my parents gave me after the existence
Speaker 1: my existence life was their insistence that I get an education.
Speaker 1: Appreciate your call, James, always do six twenty fifty five krs.
Speaker 1: The talk station looks like I got Gary and Mark online.
Speaker 1: Hang on, guys, we'll get to you just a second.
Speaker 1: First Foreign Exchange, Westchester. Location of foreign Exchange is the
Speaker 1: one I always recommend. That's Tylersville Eggs that off of
Speaker 1: seventy five two streets East, hanging right on Kinglin. You
Speaker 1: are there, and you are going to be in front
Speaker 1: of great people. Treat you like family. Your car will
Speaker 1: be worked on by an a SE certified Master technician
Speaker 1: with data access to your manufacturers technical information, even software updates.
Speaker 1: They do it all exotic, run of the mill, anything
Speaker 1: in between. If it's a traditional imported car or a Tesla,
Speaker 1: it's they service Teslas. Does your Tesla ever need service?
Speaker 1: I don't know how those things work anyway. They service
Speaker 1: them at Foreign Exchange. And the ultimate point of taking
Speaker 1: your car to Foreign Exchange and not the dealer is
Speaker 1: you don't have to pay as much full warranty on
Speaker 1: parts and service and substantial money savings. I've been experiencing
Speaker 1: it for years and years, and I love those folks
Speaker 1: at Foreign Exchange. I know they will treat you great,
Speaker 1: and I know you'll be quite satisfied with the work
Speaker 1: they do in your car. Make an appointment. It's five
Speaker 1: one three six four four twenty six twenty six five

Speaker 1: in which they received, which means New Hampshire. Gary's next.
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. Gary, always good to hear from you.
Speaker 11: Good morning, Brian.
Speaker 13: Hey, I was just talking to Joe. I've seen these
Speaker 13: guys around, and you know, it just strikes me very
Speaker 13: obviously that most conservatives I know are always fighting the
Speaker 13: battle of the bulls. If these guys were skinny, athletic looking,
Speaker 13: you know, I'm thinking they could have gone to you know,
Speaker 13: back to the FBI. I mean, you know, just saying that,
Speaker 13: you know, did I say that out well?
Speaker 1: And Gary, Gary, you'd believe they're real neo Nazis if
Speaker 1: they were fat? Is that is?
Speaker 8: That?
Speaker 1: Is that the takeaway?
Speaker 13: Well, no, I'm saying if they were conservatives, real real conservatives,
Speaker 13: they would have been fat.
Speaker 7: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Most of them have.
Speaker 13: They have a tendency to fight the battle of the bulls. Really,
Speaker 13: you know, I know, I fight it myself, you know.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm you know, I'm glad we could find some
Speaker 1: levity in this controversial subject. Gary, and I say that honestly, honestly,
Speaker 1: maybe they were on ozepic. Jeff, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 1: Happy Monday morning, Brian.
Speaker 14: I ended up I had no interest in the Super
Speaker 14: Bowl last night, but my daughter wanted to watch it,
Speaker 14: so I ended up watching a little bit of it
Speaker 14: before I put her to bed, ended up seeing the
Speaker 14: halftime show, and I was actually a little bit happy
Speaker 14: with the halftime show with what looked like the message
Speaker 14: was all red, white and blue, and he looked very patriotic. Yeah,
Speaker 14: but and looking at it, I'm just curious it was
Speaker 14: intended to be racist because I didn't see a single
Speaker 14: white person performing.
Speaker 1: Hmm. Well, I could be wrong, and I don't know,
Speaker 1: and I can't comment on it because as soon as
Speaker 1: the after the two minute warning in the first half,
Speaker 1: I packed up went to bed. Thankfully, the Eagles were ahead,
Speaker 1: and when I woke up this morning, I found they
Speaker 1: had clobbered about It's forty to twenty two. As to
Speaker 1: the halftime show, Jess Drecker said his kids liked it,
Speaker 1: but he didn't understand it. I've also seen regular cost
Speaker 1: several comments online and I don't know whether this is
Speaker 1: true or not that one of the acts actually used
Speaker 1: the N word in singing a song. Oh there was
Speaker 1: only one act, Okay, well, see Joe. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I know there's more than one person involved in the
Speaker 1: production of the halftime thing. I anyway, draw your own conclusions.
Speaker 1: Appreciate the call, Jeff, I do six thirty five mark

Speaker 15: on the phrasey button during Jarry's call.
Speaker 1: Any anyway, Yeah, I let it go all that other balls.
Speaker 15: Oh never mind. Well, the reason for my call is
Speaker 15: uh I just wanted to give a shout out to
Speaker 15: the VA and uh I was back in the fall.
Speaker 15: My primary care noticed that my PSA levels were starting
Speaker 15: to elevate, and uh, so he ordered an MRI and
Speaker 15: then unfortunately, uh came down with cross day cancer. So
Speaker 15: I mean, I followed your recommendations along a couple other
Speaker 15: you know, tender care, fireplaces, stoves, a free group. But
Speaker 15: you know, AC, I'm not going to be doing OEC.
Speaker 15: But my care at the VA has been phenomenal good.
Speaker 15: Uh MRI, MRI. They did a blood marrow scan, came
Speaker 15: back negative. Good, and I'm scheduled for surgery on the
Speaker 15: twenty seventh. So everybody that you know you're listening audience,
Speaker 15: if you work at the VA, you.
Speaker 1: Guys are awesome.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: I am so pleased now you you know they got
Speaker 1: ahead it. You got on this right away because you're
Speaker 1: watching your PSA levels. Yeah, my doctor neff over at
Speaker 1: Claremont County. Good well and see. And that's words of
Speaker 1: encouragement to other listeners out there to stay on top
Speaker 1: of that, because you can get ahead and you can
Speaker 1: beat prostate cancer if you catch it early enough before
Speaker 1: it metastasizes them before it gets in. I mean, Lord,
Speaker 1: almighty man, I'm praying for you, but and I can't
Speaker 1: I am so pleased you're getting good care of the VA.
Speaker 1: That's kind of what I expect from what I hear
Speaker 1: from my listeners. Now, obviously there are bumps in the
Speaker 1: road from time to time, but you know that you're
Speaker 1: getting really good quality care. I mean, you know, that's
Speaker 1: that's that's the final analysis point there, right right right.
Speaker 15: I don't notice too, they don't you know, they might
Speaker 15: have something personal going on in their life and stuff
Speaker 15: like that, they're having a bad day, but it never
Speaker 15: reflects on their care for the veterans. I have never
Speaker 15: encountered a rude you know, nurse doctor, just volunteers.
Speaker 3: So I just want to let you know I'm keep
Speaker 3: you updated, Im.
Speaker 1: How end, I'm really happy for you, and I'll pray
Speaker 1: for you, and I'm glad you got out ahead of
Speaker 1: this thing. And I'm very confident with you know what
Speaker 1: we've got going on in terms of cancer research and treatments,
Speaker 1: that you're going to kick its butt. And I think
Speaker 1: we can all collectively agree cancer sucks, right, Jim Keefer. Yeah, Yeah, Amen,
Speaker 1: Thanks Mark, God love you and best of health you.
Speaker 1: Let's see what Linda's got this morning. Linda, thanks for calling.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the fifty five RC Morning Show.
Speaker 2: Let's all pray for him.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to know if you remember when Obama
Speaker 2: first came into office, all of a sudden, they were
Speaker 2: giving out free phones to all these people. Some girls
Speaker 2: stood there and said, look what I got. She was
Speaker 2: so excited, and they said, well, where did the money
Speaker 2: come from? And she said, I don't know. It came
Speaker 2: from Obama's stash somewhere. And my husband the other night said,
Speaker 2: guess what, we just found Obama's stash. That's all I wanted.
Speaker 1: Elon Musk has figured it out for all of us.
Speaker 1: Linda unelected it. Oh my god, he's not. Gonnacted said
Speaker 1: like everybody about every other person in government who's unelected. Man,
Speaker 1: he's sparreting out all kinds of stuff. I love this
Speaker 1: one real quick. Here I go over to the DOGE
Speaker 1: outlined the list of what he called, in his words,
Speaker 1: super obvious changes that Doge plans to make at the
Speaker 1: US Treasury Department over the weekend, in spite of the
Speaker 1: fact that now they've been blocked out of getting access
Speaker 1: to the US Department of Treasuries documents. He said, officials
Speaker 1: that Treasury are working to make the government books more
Speaker 1: simple to audit, bring more accountability. Changes also require treasure
Speaker 1: employees to more frequently update the congressional quote do not
Speaker 1: pay close quote list highlighting fraudsters and legal fronts must said.
Speaker 1: Nobody in treasury management cared enough before. I do want
Speaker 1: to credit the working level people in Treasury who have
Speaker 1: wanted to do this for many years but have been
Speaker 1: stopped by prior management. Everything a Treasury was geared towards
Speaker 1: complaint minimization. People who receive money don't complain, but people
Speaker 1: who don't receive money, especially fraudsters, complain very loudly, so
Speaker 1: the fraud was allowed to continue. He said. The above
Speaker 1: above super obvious and necessary changes are being implemented by existing,
Speaker 1: longtime career government employees, not anyone from DOGE. DOGE has
Speaker 1: no ability. It only is a light shiner, the sanitation
Speaker 1: of light shining on things the disinfectant that is much
Speaker 1: needed in government given all the fraud, waste, and abuse
Speaker 1: they've uncovered in a short period of time time, he said,
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous that these changes didn't exist already. Yesterday, I
Speaker 1: was told that there are currently over one hundred billion
Speaker 1: dollars a year of entitlement payments to individuals with no
Speaker 1: SOCIS security number or even a temporary ID number. If accurate,
Speaker 1: this is extremely suspicious. Stating it lightly. When I asked
Speaker 1: anyone if anyone at Treasury had a rough guess for
Speaker 1: what percentage of that number is unequivocal and obvious fraud,
Speaker 1: the consensus in the room was about half. So fifty
Speaker 1: billion dollars a year or one billion dollars weekly. This
Speaker 1: is utterly insane and must be addressed immediately. Amen. No
Speaker 1: criticism came just after a federal judge blocked him and
Speaker 1: the Doge group from the access to the Treasury Department systems.
Speaker 1: It's an interesting timing on that, isn't it. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's only been around a couple of weeks, and here's
Speaker 1: one hundred billion dollars, maybe fifty billion. But I'll take
Speaker 1: either one fraud wasted abuse identified almost in a moment's time,
Speaker 1: one area of government. And this is all independent of
Speaker 1: all the fraud wasted abuse we've discovered over at USAID.
Speaker 1: And he's creeping into every area of government, coming next
Speaker 1: and coming soon and welcome by the Trump administration and
Speaker 1: Pete hegsat a thorough deep dive into military spending, something
Speaker 1: I've been advocating for years since they failed seven or
Speaker 1: eight audits. They can't even audit their own books. And
Speaker 1: you know me, I love the American military, and I
Speaker 1: love those veterans who proudly served their country. And I
Speaker 1: support all those young people who enlisted. What will we
Speaker 1: do without him? But do I support eight hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety billion dollars going to America's military when we have
Speaker 1: so much massive fraud, wasted abuse, or presumably so given
Speaker 1: that they can't even get audited. Bring it on, Bring
Speaker 1: the accounts in ring Alon Muskin. Bring a nineteen year
Speaker 1: old that is smarter than everyone in the room. But
Speaker 1: you love that. People complaining about nineteen year old computer
Speaker 1: hacking capable individuals, code writers, they are people who are
Speaker 1: capable of ferreting out this kind of thing, even at
Speaker 1: that young age. What's his name, David Hogg? Joe who's
Speaker 1: complaining about that the other day on the heels of
Speaker 1: advocating that sixteen year olds get the voting right. Okay,
Speaker 1: try to reconcile those two positions. Six forty eight fifty

Speaker 1: I hope it's happy anyway. Christopher Smith is coming up
Speaker 1: at seven twenty. That always puts a smile on my face.
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy hearing from the former vice mayor
Speaker 1: with this smither event. Monday Monday with Brian James, Ada
Speaker 1: more tariffs. Trump's announced tariffs on China steel and aluminum
Speaker 1: and surprising nobody and stayed in the obvious topic Number two,
Speaker 1: ensure rates are going up, up, up and up is
Speaker 1: on there three times. And finally, how much are you
Speaker 1: spending on Valentine's Day? My wife, who is tuned in,
Speaker 1: knows the answer to that question. And again that was
Speaker 1: the day we got engaged. Smart move on my part,
Speaker 1: and Paulette, I can't thank you enough for saying yes.
Speaker 1: Coming up on thirty three years in June anyhow, married
Speaker 1: out of my element, I'll kick my coverage and congratulations
Speaker 1: of the Eagles for putting a smile on my face.
Speaker 1: I had to go to bed before or I had
Speaker 1: a halftime at forty twenty two. I woke up this
Speaker 1: morning and found that out also, I guess Taylor Swift
Speaker 1: found out that not everybody loves her. Well, how you feel,
Speaker 1: you know if you you know, you sell out concerts
Speaker 1: and people are willing to spend three thousand dollars or
Speaker 1: whatever for a scalp ticket to get into your concert.
Speaker 1: And then when you go to the Super Bowl and
Speaker 1: show up and stick your head out or show up
Speaker 1: on the jumbo tron, everybody booze. Donald Trump had a
Speaker 1: much better experience. So apparently he got a standing ovation
Speaker 1: or a man massive round of applause from the fans
Speaker 1: that were there. So apparently doing something right for somebody. Ah,
Speaker 1: let us see here, uh oh, I was doing these
Speaker 1: energy projects and a bunch of them getting canceled. Another
Speaker 1: one in New Jersey Offshore Wind Developments is out of
Speaker 1: business last week, the largest of three such projects to
Speaker 1: fail in spite of the fact that they got a
Speaker 1: lot of tax dollars Shell Energy Giant Shell. Yes, that
Speaker 1: Shell Company wrote off fifty percent stake in Atlantic Atlantic Shores,
Speaker 1: taking a one billion dollar impairment. Instead of completing the
Speaker 1: twenty eight hundred megawatt wind farm, New Jersey Board of
Speaker 1: Public Utilities canceled its request for the wind energy provider,
Speaker 1: leaving an unfinished project with no prospective customer. Now, why
Speaker 1: did it fail? Well, the rate payers in the area
Speaker 1: can rejoice. Atlantic Shores would have charged about three times
Speaker 1: the market price for the power it generated, that, according
Speaker 1: to a review by White Strand Consulting, would have raised
Speaker 1: electricity rates by eleven percent for residents thirteen to fifteen
Speaker 1: percent for businesses, forcing them to overpay by forty eight
Speaker 1: billion dollars for the wind farms lifetime. Again, a project
Speaker 1: that had no demand tax dollars, supported the concept and
Speaker 1: had it moving forward, and then smarter people like Shelle decided,
Speaker 1: you know what, we're not going to do this. We're
Speaker 1: not going down that road. It's just an ever growing
Speaker 1: pile of articles and stories about this exact same outcome
Speaker 1: for these so called green energy projects. It's fake. Six
Speaker 1: fifty five stick around, I got more to talk about
Speaker 1: off top of the hour news, Your calls are quite welcome,
Speaker 1: and then we'll hear from Christopher Smith and at seven twenty.
Speaker 15: From a full rundown and the biggest ten lines there's
Speaker 15: minutes away at the top of the hour. I'm giving
Speaker 15: you a fact now, Americans should know fifty five cares
Speaker 15: the talk station.
Speaker 16: This report is sponsored by.
Speaker 1: Extra seven five had fifty five per CD talk station
Speaker 1: and Happy Monday, trying to make it happy anyway, Always
Speaker 1: a happy Monday for you when I see the rundown
Speaker 1: includes Christopher Smithman will be on at seven twenty with
Speaker 1: the smith Event, former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have had anything to say
Speaker 1: about the so called neo Nazis that were hanging up
Speaker 1: in Lincoln Heights, just obviously it got a lot of reaction,
Speaker 1: and I've seen the reaction. I heard reaction from a
Speaker 1: lot of my listeners this morning questioning whether those were
Speaker 1: really Nazis or not. So you can't tell when someone's
Speaker 1: completely covered up head to toe. And we have been
Speaker 1: made aware of prior events which included people who really
Speaker 1: weren't advocating what was being advocated in the protest. So
Speaker 1: were they plants designed to well elicit a response. They
Speaker 1: certainly got the community Lincoln Heights up, and aren't They
Speaker 1: had a big counter protests, and good for them and
Speaker 1: I and I've been saying all morning, you know they're
Speaker 1: there if you truly believe in that ideology, I can
Speaker 1: with a straight face and firm in my convictions call
Speaker 1: you an idiot. Obviously not a widely embraced concept Nazism.
Speaker 1: You'd have clubs and chapters all over the place. They
Speaker 1: would advertise and they wouldn't be afraid to show their face. No,
Speaker 1: it's an unpopular message. It's a message widely well discouraged.
Speaker 1: If i'll just be light light put that lightly, and
Speaker 1: I just got to observe if you're a real Nazi
Speaker 1: and you want to go carrying around, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: a white guy's rule kind of message in Lincoln heights,
Speaker 1: be prepared to get a beat down at minimum, and
Speaker 1: for the general public to applaud those they've given you
Speaker 1: the beatdown. Anyhow, I'll leave it to Christopher address that
Speaker 1: if he chooses to. I never know what he wants
Speaker 1: to talk about. So Christopher, if you're out there, you
Speaker 1: go in any direction you want five one, three, seven,
Speaker 1: four nine fifty eight hundred eight two three talk top
Speaker 1: five fifty on AT and T phone. Senator John Kennedy, Republican,
Speaker 1: I Love of Louisiana, responding to DOGE the Department of
Speaker 1: Government Efficiencies revelation of what usaid was spent on pointing
Speaker 1: out something that I agree with him, wholeheartedly on Musku
Speaker 1: is doing what the American people have wanted for years,
Speaker 1: he said, But in Washington, common sense is illegal, and
Speaker 1: I just see the Democrats screaming and yelling about taking
Speaker 1: this money away, like seriously. Courrty's Senator John Kennedy found
Speaker 1: that the USA, it has ten thousand people, ten thousand employees.
Speaker 1: Every year they give away forty billion dollars, sprinkling it
Speaker 1: all over the grobe. Usaid gave money to support electric
Speaker 1: vehicles in Vietnam. Vietnam, that's your earnings. He found that
Speaker 1: the USA gave money to a transgender clinic in India.
Speaker 1: Quote I didn't know that, that is, Senator John Kennedy.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I bet you the American people
Speaker 1: didn't know that. Now he's in a position to at
Speaker 1: least have access to this information. How in the hell
Speaker 1: did that money get awarded to a transgender clinic in India?
Speaker 1: USA gave one point five million dollars to a Serbian
Speaker 1: LGBTQ group, he said, anyway, they got one point five
Speaker 1: million to quote advanced diversity, equity inclusion in Serbian workplaces
Speaker 1: and business communities. I just scratched my head over this.
Speaker 1: They Doge found the USA ustate spent one hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty four million dollars to support radical organizations around the world.
Speaker 1: He so we're not talking about cub Scout troops, We're
Speaker 1: talking about radical organizations. They gave one hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: two million dollars to group aligned with foreign terrorist organizations,
Speaker 1: our taxpayer money. According to the report from the Dodge Group,
Speaker 1: USA had given millions of dollars to organizations in Gaza
Speaker 1: controlled by Hamas. Why, senator asked, why aren't my colleagues
Speaker 1: talking about those recipients of money? Good question. Senator Cynthia
Speaker 1: Lumins also a gassed at finding out where our taxpayer
Speaker 1: dollars have been going. And you gotta wonder where how
Speaker 1: come these people won't be more proactive about this For
Speaker 1: the past how many decades? John F. Kennedy signed USAID
Speaker 1: into by executive order created at whole cloth back in
Speaker 1: what early nineteen sixties, and for whatever purpose it was
Speaker 1: it was put to, it been funded ever since. Didn't
Speaker 1: anyone ever take a little moment in time to look
Speaker 1: at this. We had to wait for Donald Trump to
Speaker 1: be re elected president of the United States of America
Speaker 1: to tap the brilliance of Elon musk Oh. I know,
Speaker 1: not everybody really loves or embraces the Guy's a bit
Speaker 1: of an oddball, I'll grant you that, but he's a
Speaker 1: proven genius. I got into my son the other day
Speaker 1: about this. Who's read most come? It's like government is
Speaker 1: filled with advisors. People are tapped for their expertise, knowledge
Speaker 1: and experience. He has run successful companies. He's gotten rid
Speaker 1: of a bunch of employees in various companies he's owned
Speaker 1: because they didn't provide any value to the company. That's
Speaker 1: what he's doing to government. That's a target rich environment.
Speaker 1: Apparently hasn't taken him any moment in time to discover
Speaker 1: all of this. How many weeks has Donald Trump be president?
Speaker 1: How many how many hours has Elon musk be at
Speaker 1: work on this? And look at what we find? Twenty
Speaker 1: million dollars for a sesame street show rack, twenty five
Speaker 1: million dollars to promote green transportation in the country of Georgia,
Speaker 1: eight million dollars to teach Sri Lankan journalists how to
Speaker 1: avoid binary gender language. Senator Cynthia Lomas, binary gendered language
Speaker 1: in Sri Lanka, You've got to be kidding me. She's
Speaker 1: quoted as saying right. And of course, in the money
Speaker 1: that went to EcoHealth Alliance so we could create bat
Speaker 1: coronaviruses that infected every one on the planet. Thank you
Speaker 1: very much for that contribution, Carl, Welcome to the Morning Show.
Speaker 17: It's a wonderful Monday morning in Cincinnati. My four seventy

Speaker 1: Amazing, isn't it. And that's ahead of schedule.
Speaker 17: Yes, and I would like to give everybody some public
Speaker 17: service announcements about the bridge. It's our duty as drivers
Speaker 17: to keep this thing, keep the bridge safe. We don't
Speaker 17: want to lose any more time or money being stuck
Speaker 17: out on the bridge or having to take detours. The
Speaker 17: speed limit on the bridge is fifty five miles per hour.
Speaker 17: There's nothing more scary to me than to becoming across
Speaker 17: the bridge at night and finding a disabled vehicle in
Speaker 17: my lane due to an accident, and have drivers driving
Speaker 17: seventy miles an hour on either side of me, not
Speaker 17: allowing me to make any emergency maneuvers. Now, a question
Speaker 17: of jurisdiction comes up. If you do see an accident
Speaker 17: on the bridge, call it in. Don't assume that anybody's
Speaker 17: called it in. Here are the rules. If the accident
Speaker 17: occurs over the water, then it's Kentucky yeah to the accident.
Speaker 17: If the accident occurs over land, then it's Cincinnati's duty
Speaker 17: to respond to an accident. As you can see in
Speaker 17: this situation that we had where the bridge caught on fire,
Speaker 17: there was a fire underneath the Bride Bridge. It's Ohio
Speaker 17: that is having to foot the bill on the expenses
Speaker 17: because that part of the bridge. Yes, Now, when you
Speaker 17: call nine one one and you get nine one one
Speaker 17: in Cincinnati and you tell them I'm heading northbound on
Speaker 17: the bridge and there's been an accident, don't be surprised
Speaker 17: that they will tell you that No. I four seventy
Speaker 17: one does not run north and south. It runs east
Speaker 17: and west. Boy, what a surprise. Yes, Now, I did
Speaker 17: some research on this, and actually, if you look at
Speaker 17: the map, it does run kind of east and west. However,
Speaker 17: if you listen to the traffic reports, which I do,
Speaker 17: SORWLW and Schuck Ingram does a wonderful job. The whole
Speaker 17: team does a wonderful job. They always announced that it
Speaker 17: runs north and South. Yesterday I spent some time on
Speaker 17: the computer and looking at Wikipedia. Wikipedia does say that
Speaker 17: it is a north south connector. So and as you're
Speaker 17: calling nine one one in Cincinnati, you're going to have
Speaker 17: dificulty talking to the nine to one one call taker
Speaker 17: because you're going to be going under overpasses on I
Speaker 17: seventy one North.
Speaker 1: Call it. It sounds like you've got a lot of
Speaker 1: experience with this.
Speaker 17: Yes, I'm on the bridge. I'm not on the bridge
Speaker 17: all the time, but I've been on there way too
Speaker 17: many times and seeing way too many accidents. And if
Speaker 17: you listen to the traffic reports, you will hear about
Speaker 17: accidents on the bridge.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 17: And you know if Cincinnati and Newport do cooperate police
Speaker 17: departments and that fire departments do cooperate. For example, if
Speaker 17: there is a bridge accident on the bridge over the
Speaker 17: land on the northbound side, Cincinnati nine to one one
Speaker 17: will try to call Newport and see if they can
Speaker 17: dispatch an officer out there to turn on his emergency lights.
Speaker 17: It's going to take a while for the Cincinnati ambulance
Speaker 17: to get to you because they are the ones responsible
Speaker 17: for responding to the accident. And I guess they have
Speaker 17: to go all the way over to Kentucky and then
Speaker 17: come northbound on the bridge.
Speaker 1: Well and going back to your prior point. Drive carefully
Speaker 1: and we can avoid the accidents in the first place.
Speaker 1: We won't have to worry about reaching emergency services regardless
Speaker 1: of which section of the bridge it happens to fall on.
Speaker 1: Appreciate the info, Carl, I do stay safe out there.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing with the Towers of Kenwood. You
Speaker 1: know we're on We're in the Towers at Kenwood and
Speaker 1: there's an east tower in a west tower, which always
Speaker 1: confused me because to me, in my mind, Montgomery Road
Speaker 1: is a north south road. So when you tell somebody
Speaker 1: we're in the east tower, and they quite often will
Speaker 1: pull them like, wait a second, that looks like north south. Anyhow,
Speaker 1: crazy world we live in. Anyway, seven fifteen, we're gonna
Speaker 1: hear from Christopher Smith of mynext with the Smith event.
Speaker 1: Really looking forward to that, and I hope you are
Speaker 1: as well. In the meantime. Chimneycare Fireplace in Stove, Thank

Speaker 1: A very happy Monday to you. Always extra special time
Speaker 1: to be tuned into the morning show because we are blessed,
Speaker 1: at least I feel that way. To hear from the
Speaker 1: former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, venting his
Speaker 1: spleen for the smith event, Christopher Smithman, Welcome back, my friend.
Speaker 1: Love having you on my show.
Speaker 8: Oh brother, thank you so much for having me each week.
Speaker 8: And there's so much going on, like most we can't even.
Speaker 1: Keep up with it.
Speaker 8: Oh, I know, I've never felt like this before. Like,
Speaker 8: where do you even start, Brian Thomas.
Speaker 1: I know, well, welcome to my world. I'd regularly joke
Speaker 1: at the end of the week, and last week was
Speaker 1: particularly thick stack of stuff that I didn't get to.
Speaker 1: You know, I got a realm plus beyond a ream
Speaker 1: of paper of stories that I couldn't even talk about
Speaker 1: I get in here in the morning, I bring fifteen
Speaker 1: twenty maybe more stories that I print off from the
Speaker 1: day before as I'm doing research for the show, and
Speaker 1: then I show up in the morning about an hour
Speaker 1: and a half before the show begins to find out
Speaker 1: what happened after I went to bed last night, and
Speaker 1: then ended up printing like fifteen or twenty more articles
Speaker 1: during that period of time. It seems like it just
Speaker 1: keeps building and building, and I never get it all
Speaker 1: in anyway, so it goes Well.
Speaker 8: What I want to talk about is this notion that
Speaker 8: the President of the United States had to sign an
Speaker 8: executive order that stated that boys can't compete against girls
Speaker 8: against sports. That common sense to say that the President
Speaker 8: of the United States had to sign an executive order
Speaker 8: that said boys can't compete against girl in sports in
Speaker 8: the United States of America and then have the NCAA go, oh, yeah,
Speaker 8: we'll follow what the executive order said. Well, if you
Speaker 8: cared about girls, if you thought about fairness, you could
Speaker 8: have responded first and had the courage to stand on
Speaker 8: your conviction and not wait for the President to walk
Speaker 8: in with common sense that say, hey, boys can't compete
Speaker 8: against girl in sports. What an amazing week to have
Speaker 8: the president sitting there surrounded by girls who are dancers, gymnasts, swimmers,
Speaker 8: probably in some sport of karate wrestling, whatever the sport was.
Speaker 8: They're surrounding him looking adorable. He has a pen, He's
Speaker 8: giving the pins out to all the little girls, saying,
Speaker 8: I just protected you. So if you go in the
Speaker 8: boxing ring, you're not going to get knocked out by
Speaker 8: a dude.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you hearing you say it like that, Christopher,
Speaker 1: You know here we are or in this we're in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, and we have been living with this
Speaker 1: reality that boys were competing against girls now for the
Speaker 1: past four or five years, that somehow that was supposed
Speaker 1: to be normal. Christopher, do you think that has anything
Speaker 1: to do with the fact that Donald Trump got overwhelmingly
Speaker 1: elected anything at all? I mean gone, the open borders
Speaker 1: and the national debt, everything else you can throw in
Speaker 1: any of the equation, just the mere concept that people
Speaker 1: refused the scientific fact that there's a chromosomal and of
Speaker 1: course genital difference between men and women, and that men
Speaker 1: have a biologically built in advantage from a physical standpoint
Speaker 1: over women. Like we didn't all know that going in.
Speaker 8: It's this remarkable moment where you know the LGBTQ plus community,
Speaker 8: by the way, I support I.
Speaker 1: Know I do too. Listen, I think you know, I know.
Speaker 8: Crazy about I just has nothing to do with being anti.
Speaker 8: This is common sense, you know. And you know I
Speaker 8: have a son who's openly gay, and so this notion
Speaker 8: that if you're listening to the audiences out there like
Speaker 8: baul Man, Smitherman doesn't support the LGBTQ.
Speaker 3: No, I have a daughter.
Speaker 8: I have a beautiful daughter who swims for a phenomenal
Speaker 8: school in Cincinnati by the name of Seaton. And let
Speaker 8: me tell you something, guy, we commit our life from
Speaker 8: September until now. All weekend we've been swimming. I want
Speaker 8: you to hear this, brother, We've been in the pool
Speaker 8: all across the state of Ohio. Any parent out there
Speaker 8: who shaking their head like we have been in swim
Speaker 8: meets all day Saturday, all day Sunday with our girls
Speaker 8: and they are literally making the decision of whether they
Speaker 8: can make it to regionals by a tenth of a second.
Speaker 1: Hit of a second, Yes, sir, hey.
Speaker 8: You're telling me you're gonna put a man or a
Speaker 8: boy in that race. That could knock out one.
Speaker 3: Of our girls.
Speaker 8: So she's been swimming three years. Some of them are
Speaker 8: seniors four years. They're trying to get scholarships to colleges.
Speaker 8: This is their life, man. They wake up in the morning,
Speaker 8: swim in the afternoon.
Speaker 3: They swim.
Speaker 8: If their diet is their sleep, is their school is everything?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 8: A young lady, her name is Sarah, and hope she
Speaker 8: can hear.
Speaker 3: Me from Seaton.
Speaker 8: Right. She's swimmed the five hundred, which are twenty laps. Look, man,
Speaker 8: she won a slot at regionals a tenth of a second.
Speaker 8: That's all it was. So the President signing that executive
Speaker 8: order saying boys can't be swimming in pools or boxing
Speaker 8: rings or wrestling or karate or whatever it is, frack
Speaker 8: with our girls make all the sense of the world.
Speaker 8: And politically, Brian Thomas, he's bringing the suburban women home
Speaker 8: who were saying, you know what, we didn't know how
Speaker 8: we could deal, how what we thought about Trump. But
Speaker 8: the reality was is they got in these worlds with
Speaker 8: their soccer balls, and all of a sudden, they've got
Speaker 8: boys out.
Speaker 3: There playing against their girls.
Speaker 8: Or they got they've got girls and pools and They've
Speaker 8: got boys.
Speaker 3: In there swimming against.
Speaker 8: Their daughters, and people woke up and said, listen, we've
Speaker 8: lost our common sense, and we had to have a
Speaker 8: President of the United States this week sign in executive
Speaker 8: order telling the NCAA and the Olympics that girls get
Speaker 8: to get to participate in their sports and we're going
Speaker 8: to protect them.
Speaker 1: Coming through liven career, Christopher pause, We'll bring you back.
Speaker 1: You give me Vietnam flashbacks thinking about my time on
Speaker 1: the Marlins in high school swimming with all that talk
Speaker 1: about how much time you spend in those meets, I
Speaker 1: remember like it was yesterday, swim meets. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Not the best spectator support out there unless your kid

Speaker 10: a reckon Monroe on sixty three at Gateway. Chuck Ingram
Speaker 10: on fifty five KRC Talk station, fifty.
Speaker 1: Five Karsity talk station, and Happy Monday talking with Christopher
Speaker 1: Smithman doing the smith Event. I spent too much time
Speaker 1: in a pool, Christopher. I didn't even want to swim
Speaker 1: in college. There could have been a college out that
Speaker 1: the wo'd offer me a scholarship. I would have said no.
Speaker 1: I hung my suit up. After I graduated from my
Speaker 1: high school, I was captain of the swim team. The
Speaker 1: year I graduated, I hung my suit up and I
Speaker 1: just looked at it and thought, there is no blanking
Speaker 1: way I'm putting in another ten thousand yards swim practice day.
Speaker 1: I'm done. So anyway, parted company was swimming.
Speaker 8: All you're doing is telling your listing audience that you
Speaker 8: are a complete stud na.
Speaker 3: Your walking around the pool. Baby.
Speaker 1: No, I owe it to my parents. If I had
Speaker 1: my way, I wouldn't have been on Marlins and I
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't have been a swimmer, you know. But my
Speaker 1: parents insisted that I do something with my life and
Speaker 1: that I exercised, and it also helped me to stay
Speaker 1: out of trouble. Christopher, how much trouble can your dog
Speaker 1: getting given how much time she spends in the pool
Speaker 1: and its swim meets zero zero sport?
Speaker 3: Where where is your daughter?
Speaker 1: She's in the pool.
Speaker 8: And let me and let me give a real shout
Speaker 8: out for the coach, Jody Shaffer. And I know you
Speaker 8: know as a swim of your coaches are just phenomenal
Speaker 8: for seating, So I just thank her for all.
Speaker 3: Of the great work.
Speaker 8: That she does with all of the girls on the
Speaker 8: seat and team. And let me just say this to
Speaker 8: you in my in my screen that this morning on
Speaker 8: what I think is a very serious matter, and you
Speaker 8: were talking about it earlier, and that is identifying the
Speaker 8: waste and corruption at the federal level. And I've been
Speaker 8: watching congressional members and have so many different tentacles try
Speaker 8: to kill the messenger.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you're trying to kill Eli. Musk keeps the messenger.
Speaker 8: But what I didn't hear any of them say is
Speaker 8: that what he's communicating is alive. Are all the things
Speaker 8: that you're talking about that you've been listing this morning,
Speaker 8: that you were listing last week of all of its
Speaker 8: wasteful spending that most people would say, I didn't even
Speaker 8: know my tax dollars. We're about to file our taxes
Speaker 8: in April, sub will file in October. But the reality
Speaker 8: of it is that we're all filing our taxes, getting
Speaker 8: our ten ninety nine, our W twos and all of
Speaker 8: its money we see that we sent to the federal government.
Speaker 8: The timing could not have been better, and listened to
Speaker 8: you in the morning just lifts off these.
Speaker 3: Things, just sends you into just a complete rage.
Speaker 8: And so to see congressional members protesting that for in
Speaker 8: support of UFA the organization and then going to the
Speaker 8: Department of Education instead of going to your neighbor public
Speaker 8: school that's failing, You're going to the mothership that We're saying, Hey,
Speaker 8: what's happening here, what's the accountability? We're paying a lot
Speaker 8: per student. We know our teachers are working hard, we
Speaker 8: know their overwork. But the reality of it is, we
Speaker 8: know that students are suffering across the United States and
Speaker 8: our public school system. What are we going to do
Speaker 8: about it? I was baffled, even ashamed to see congressional
Speaker 8: members marching and acting like they were having some civil
Speaker 8: rights movement against the Department of Education. And we need
Speaker 8: to fix the system so that our children are getting
Speaker 8: a good education.
Speaker 1: Well stated Christopher. It really is a sorry state of affairs.
Speaker 1: We spend more on a per student education in this
Speaker 1: country than any other country in the world, and yet
Speaker 1: we are so far behind other countries. It's embarrassing. It's
Speaker 1: a disservice to our children, our young people. The eradication
Speaker 1: of critical thinking skills, the eradication of phonics, the eradication
Speaker 1: of the classics, all in favor of I don't know what,
Speaker 1: teaching to the test which prepares them for literally nothing
Speaker 1: in this world. Pause will bring Christopher back. I know
Speaker 1: he's got more in his mind. Seven thirty five Right
Speaker 1: now at fifty five KS City Talk station, I'll mention
Speaker 1: affordable imaging, because imaging can be affordable. Just don't go
Speaker 1: to the hospital imaging department. That's where they make a
Speaker 1: lot of money, and they know that they got you.
Speaker 1: They think they got you anyway. But you know about
Speaker 1: affordable imaging services where an MRI is only four hundred
Speaker 1: ninety five bucks, not thirty five hundred dollars that you
Speaker 1: would pay at the hospital, maybe even more. I know
Speaker 1: CT scans can go as high as five grand, perhaps
Speaker 1: even more. A CT scan with a contrast is six
Speaker 1: hundred dollars at Affordable Imaging Services. The most expensive one
Speaker 1: you can get as an MRI with a contrast, it's
Speaker 1: six forty five. Every image comes with the board certified
Speaker 1: radiologists report that you and your doctor get within forty
Speaker 1: eight hours. That's included in the low price. So you
Speaker 1: have a choice when it comes to your medical care.
Speaker 1: It's out of pocket liability season, isn't it, folks? The
Speaker 1: brand new calendar year for your insurance policy. Like if
Speaker 1: you're in Obamacare. That's ninety two hundred bucks out of
Speaker 1: your pocket before the insurance even works. Yeah, don't get
Speaker 1: on that road. Don't have to your bank account. Affordable
Speaker 1: Medical Imaging. You'll find them on line. It's Affordable Medimaging
Speaker 1: dot com online Affordable Medimaging. Here's the phone number, five

Speaker 1: The talk station seven thirty nine took about krc DE
Speaker 1: talk station Happy Monday doing that Smithman smith event thing.
Speaker 1: Christopher Smithman, I appreciate your venting this morning. I sharing
Speaker 1: your thoughts and comments. We got fellow swimmers out there
Speaker 1: who been through the same thing. I just got an
Speaker 1: email from a guy named Jeff who sends me stuff
Speaker 1: all the time. He swam for the Dayton Dolphins, he said,
Speaker 1: Later for wsu Geez, he said, Kodles, kudos to My
Speaker 1: parents were sitting through endless hours of swim meets just
Speaker 1: to see me compete in a few events. Day long event,
Speaker 1: I mean two three days of of of swim you
Speaker 1: know day long swim meets where you had these you know,
Speaker 1: invitationals with with teams coming from all over the place.
Speaker 1: I remember I had to go to Canada, for a
Speaker 1: swim meet once jeez, you sit around and sit around
Speaker 1: and stew in your own juices until hey, you're up
Speaker 1: for your fifty meter freestyle. You swim, you know, you're
Speaker 1: in the water for like twenty eight seconds, and then
Speaker 1: waiting around for another three hours for your next event.
Speaker 1: Vietnam like flashbacks for me, Christopher.
Speaker 8: And the place is the place is so hot hot, yes, unbelievable.
Speaker 3: It is unbelievable.
Speaker 8: The building is like on fire. And in high school,
Speaker 8: everybody is stripping down into their shorts right, layered up,
Speaker 8: and then you just everybody's like all their jeeans are off,
Speaker 8: they got our shorts, they have a T shirt on, right.
Speaker 3: It's crazy.
Speaker 1: And think about this too, Christopher. I bet it's exactly
Speaker 1: the same as it was back when I was swimming,
Speaker 1: because none of the student body would show up like
Speaker 1: they do in football games or basketball games and every
Speaker 1: like we go to the game. Yeah, let's go to
Speaker 1: the football game this Sunday whatever, and you no one
Speaker 1: from the student body would to watch a swim beat.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 8: And just the parents, the grandparents of the off those
Speaker 8: and friends. I mean it's that's that's.
Speaker 3: What it is. Yeah.
Speaker 8: Well, you know, one of the things I want to
Speaker 8: end with Brian, and it's serious, and this is the
Speaker 8: neo Nazi stuff that we saw in Lincoln Heights is
Speaker 8: an African American neighborhood.
Speaker 3: One of the one of the.
Speaker 8: One of the citizens that the Americans that they approached
Speaker 8: is a good friend of mine. His first name is Eric.
Speaker 8: He's a small business owner, beautiful wife, Marla, a girl, dad,
Speaker 8: three three daughters. His small business is right across that bridge.
Speaker 8: He worked seven days a week and I know he
Speaker 8: was going into work and to have those guys approach
Speaker 8: his truck with their weapons mostly might not understand that
Speaker 8: these guys were approaching vehicles. Well, they approached my friends
Speaker 8: and they're screaming. They're screaming the N word at him.
Speaker 18: Now, you have to know my friend, who's nothing but
Speaker 18: a country boy, hard worker every day, built this business
Speaker 18: with his wife and his daughters, worked many of them
Speaker 18: in that business with them.
Speaker 3: But he is a.
Speaker 8: Second Amendment gun carrying dude.
Speaker 3: He's the wrong truck to walk up on.
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, you guy, he's the.
Speaker 3: Wrong guy to pick a fight with.
Speaker 8: And but my point to you is that we have
Speaker 8: to as Americans and I'm using that word. All of
Speaker 8: us must stick together against that craziness. It has no place,
Speaker 8: It has no place in our society.
Speaker 3: And also it.
Speaker 8: Has nothing to do with any politician. Right, So, these
Speaker 8: kinds of organizations have been around for hundreds of years,
Speaker 8: they probably because of hate, will stay around for another hundred.
Speaker 8: We just have to as Americans, because we are the
Speaker 8: great experiment, we just have to know how to respond
Speaker 8: without creating greater violence and making sure that they understand
Speaker 8: that you and I, as brothers, we stand against that
Speaker 8: craziness that has no place in America.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, I mean, you know, and Christopher, I just
Speaker 1: really well, obviously you can call them to question the
Speaker 1: wisdom of someone who embraces that ridiculous philosophy. But they're
Speaker 1: what twelve or thirteen of those fill in the blank
Speaker 1: with the sec inappropriate language that I can't use to
Speaker 1: describe them. And they're in and all virtually all black,
Speaker 1: with the biggest all black community in the greater Cincinnati area. Right,
Speaker 1: that's Lincoln Heights.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's right, Lincoln Heights Baptist Church, one of the
Speaker 8: historic African American Baptist churches in our region, and its pastor.
Speaker 3: Pastor was on TV responding, I mean.
Speaker 8: It's the wrong place to be and it could have
Speaker 8: been gone really bad. It's I give my kudos out
Speaker 8: to the Lincoln Heights, Lincoln Heights community, the pastors there,
Speaker 8: you know, the community for not responding with violence, because
Speaker 8: it's easy to do when you've got guys walking around
Speaker 8: with assault rifle and they're actually approaching vehicles and calling
Speaker 8: you crazy things. Anything could have happened this weekend, and
Speaker 8: I just want to be that one of those voices,
Speaker 8: like you've already went your voice to say, listen, this
Speaker 8: is not the best of America, and it doesn't matter
Speaker 8: what our race is. We can just call that out
Speaker 8: as craziness and keep it moving.
Speaker 1: Well again, you didn't call me looking for an argument today, Christopher.
Speaker 1: I just you know, I just don't understand them. I
Speaker 1: really don't, you know, And and and you know the
Speaker 1: other thing I don't understand Christopher, And he kind of
Speaker 1: alluded to it already. This is nothing with a politician
Speaker 1: that someone had the audacity or people have the audacity
Speaker 1: to say this is somehow connected with Donald Trump, the
Speaker 1: presence of Nazis. Anybody can organize anybody. We have the
Speaker 1: right to the free exercise. We have the right to
Speaker 1: free speech, even protect even Nazi speech is protected with
Speaker 1: there's a Supreme Court, huge Supreme Court case on that.
Speaker 1: So they're allowed to say what they want. But I
Speaker 1: embrace the idea of these idiots come out of their
Speaker 1: holes and say it out loud so we know who
Speaker 1: the idiots are. The only problem is they were too
Speaker 1: afraid to show their faces. They're all covered eyes.
Speaker 8: That's right, that's right, they're masked up. They don't want
Speaker 8: people to know exactly who they are, which tells you
Speaker 8: that they're cowards, because if they really believed in what
Speaker 8: they were saying, they would show us who they are.
Speaker 8: Let me in by saying to you, Brian that the
Speaker 8: Super Bowl was okay. I really couldn't get into it
Speaker 8: for a lot of the swim meet is at the
Speaker 8: top of the list. But but let me say this
Speaker 8: to you. To have the President of the United States,
Speaker 8: which I didn't know was the first time a president
Speaker 8: had ever attended a Super Bowl was phenomenal. And to
Speaker 8: feel that American drum beat going through what most would
Speaker 8: say the most important game are sport of the of
Speaker 8: the year was just a wonderful, wonderful thing of bringing
Speaker 8: us together and uniting us. And my heart went out
Speaker 8: to all of those young people and older people who
Speaker 8: lost their lives in that terroist attack. The story about
Speaker 8: the brothers, because you know, you don't hear a lot
Speaker 8: about those who lost their lives, So when you start
Speaker 8: hearing about these stories about two brothers, both of them
Speaker 8: were athletes. The older brother was there, lost his life,
Speaker 8: the other brothers up for the draft. Asked his mom
Speaker 8: and dad there, Lady God, that did a beautiful job singing.
Speaker 8: What a beautiful voice she has. I don't anybody who
Speaker 8: hasn't heard Lady Gaga that she really can sing. There's
Speaker 8: some artists out here who can't sing. She's not one
Speaker 8: of them. She really can sing. But to bring everybody
Speaker 8: together with that kind of tone with our military was
Speaker 8: really a wonderful thing. I was more into that piece
Speaker 8: of it than what was happening on the field. Quite frankly,
Speaker 8: we need more unification around our flag, around patriotism, which
Speaker 8: has this notion that if you love our flagging, you
Speaker 8: love our country. You and I can't say that our
Speaker 8: country is imperfect, and we're still working on it. It's
Speaker 8: still an experiment, but I can still stand for the
Speaker 8: national anthem. I could take my hat off for the
Speaker 8: national anthem. I can do the pledge of allegiance, and
Speaker 8: I can bring honor to the greatest country in the world,
Speaker 8: and that I'm so honored to be here, to be
Speaker 8: able to participate in and do well in with all
Speaker 8: of its shortcomings, it's still the greatest place in the
Speaker 8: world to be And that's what I felt with the
Speaker 8: President being there. And I love hearing the players say
Speaker 8: I am honored to play in front of the President
Speaker 8: of the United States of America because they are honoring
Speaker 8: the position. Has get out of the personality and get
Speaker 8: into respecting the position. The President of the United States
Speaker 8: is here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great observation, Christopher, and I might pivot
Speaker 1: back over to the Nazis showing up on the bridge
Speaker 1: in Lincoln Heights. Look what happened the next day, A
Speaker 1: whole group the pastors met. They had a whole group
Speaker 1: of people coming out to protest that joining together in
Speaker 1: an anti Nazi message, which is something that we can
Speaker 1: all support. So maybe there's a little positive that came
Speaker 1: out of the negativity of those filling the blank people
Speaker 1: hanging out on the bridge, the big, strong, massive contrast
Speaker 1: showing of support the following day against the message that
Speaker 1: they were allegedly spewing.
Speaker 8: Good see, well, look at us when people come to
Speaker 8: the listener lunch.
Speaker 11: It's diverse.
Speaker 8: I mean this notion that your listening audience is diverse,
Speaker 8: the people that listen. And so, you know, all we
Speaker 8: do is keep spreading truth and love and support common
Speaker 8: sense whatever those words are to this craziness. And you know,
Speaker 8: and I agree with you. I'm glad that the Lincoln
Speaker 8: Heights community came out and they did a piece peaceful protest,
Speaker 8: you know, in in response to the neo Nazis.
Speaker 3: But I just want to be real.
Speaker 8: Look, hate is going to stay in the hearts of
Speaker 8: some people for the for a hundred years, is never
Speaker 8: going to end. All we can do is know how
Speaker 8: to live around it, through it, over it, pray for them,
Speaker 8: and keep it moving.
Speaker 3: What we don't want to.
Speaker 8: Do, right is respond in the same lafel of violence
Speaker 8: that they're doing. That's that's what they want. They win
Speaker 8: when we do that. Love all of those responses, and
Speaker 8: I love the people that can drive by them and
Speaker 8: say sticks and stones, you know, but their words aren't
Speaker 8: going to hurt me at all.
Speaker 3: We're going to keep We're going to keep it moving.
Speaker 8: But I appreciate you, Brian Thomas, Man we are I
Speaker 8: think that this week is going to be a week
Speaker 8: of terifs.
Speaker 3: I don't care what China thinks.
Speaker 8: China could be mad at us from here until the
Speaker 8: next three hundred years. America better wake up and understand
Speaker 8: that China is coming and they're thinking about the long game,
Speaker 8: and we better have elected officials that are honed in
Speaker 8: on what China is doing. So we are prepared. Recruitment
Speaker 8: for the military is up for a reason, and we
Speaker 8: better prepare this generation for what we are headed for,
Speaker 8: which eventually.
Speaker 3: Will be a war.
Speaker 8: This is an economic war, it's a political war. But
Speaker 8: at some point, Brian Thomas, world War three will happen.
Speaker 8: It Free Pills, is that we just have to be
Speaker 8: prepared for, Brian Thomas, That's the truth. It might be
Speaker 8: one hundred years from now, it might be fifty, it
Speaker 8: might be two hundred years.
Speaker 13: Got it. Yeah.
Speaker 8: The reality of it is, world War three will happen.
Speaker 8: The question will be will this great United States of
Speaker 8: America be ready for it? If we spend on time
Speaker 8: fighting each other, focus on things that aren't important. They
Speaker 8: will forget who the real enemies are.
Speaker 1: Well, what have brother? I'm done a positive note, got

Speaker 1: do that thing we call money Monday. Welcome back, Brian James.
Speaker 1: Hope you had a nice weekend. Get to enjoy the
Speaker 1: good morning.
Speaker 19: And and you two, and welcome to NFL off season.
Speaker 19: We need to officially start hearing what the Bengals may
Speaker 19: or may I do, which probably means we won't hear
Speaker 19: anything for a while.
Speaker 1: And we'll get to hear a lot about the stadium
Speaker 1: lease negotiation. I suppose too little side show in connection
Speaker 1: with day Yeah, right whatever, Anyhow, beginning our first top
Speaker 1: of your conversation, appreciate all Worth Financial leaning out for
Speaker 1: my listeners. Every Monday at this time, more tariffs, this
Speaker 1: time on aluminum steel.
Speaker 19: Tariffs, tariffs and more tariffs. It just seems to me,
Speaker 19: didn't we just talk about this, Brian, I think a
Speaker 19: week ago, right, now, at this moment we were talking
Speaker 19: about tariffs.
Speaker 1: You know what, next week, at this moment, we'll probably
Speaker 1: be talking about them too.
Speaker 19: It seems to be the theme of twenty twenty five
Speaker 19: YEP quick review. So this is this is gonna sound
Speaker 19: a little bit familiar. But let's talk about what we
Speaker 19: did talk about last week. So last week, the announcement
Speaker 19: was that we'd announced the United States announced new tariffs
Speaker 19: against Canada. That was twenty five percent tariffs on most imports,
Speaker 19: just just just a wide range of everything. And you
Speaker 19: and I went through a list of weirdness of stuff
Speaker 19: that was on there. And then also it's only a
Speaker 19: ten percent tariff on Canadian energy products. That was there
Speaker 19: was an announcement there that Canada was going to come
Speaker 19: back and slap some tariffs back.
Speaker 11: On the US in exchange.
Speaker 19: And then everybody decided, hey, wait a minute, let's chill out,
Speaker 19: let's give it a month, and let's just kind of
Speaker 19: see how things go.
Speaker 11: Let's just all be friends.
Speaker 19: So today the news is that the United States is
Speaker 19: going to oppose a twenty five percent tariff on all
Speaker 19: steel and aluminum imports from Canada and Mexico. And by
Speaker 19: the way, let's not forget why are we targeting Canada
Speaker 19: and Mexico because there are friends, right, we want to
Speaker 19: target our enemy.
Speaker 11: That seems to have changed. Right.
Speaker 19: Canada and Mexico are by far the largest trading partners
Speaker 19: of the United States. So in twenty twenty three, we
Speaker 19: had eight hundred billion dollars worth of goods and services
Speaker 19: exchange with Mexico, seven seventy three with Canada, and then
Speaker 19: it starts to drop off. China was five hundred and
Speaker 19: seventy five billion, then Germany at two hundred and on
Speaker 19: down from there. So we are basically slugging our best
Speaker 19: friends right in the mouth to see how they react.
Speaker 19: This is a trade war. It's what it looks like,
Speaker 19: it is what it feels like.
Speaker 11: And we'll we'll.
Speaker 19: See if President Trump is able to get what he
Speaker 19: wants out of this, will we stick to it.
Speaker 11: We'll see.
Speaker 1: Well, the original tariffs that we were previously talking about
Speaker 1: that got put on hold for thirty days, President Trump
Speaker 1: specifically stated it was an effort to get them to
Speaker 1: pony up some help on border security, and in response,
Speaker 1: both Mexico and Canada said, yeah, we will, and they
Speaker 1: allocated resources and troops to go to their various borders
Speaker 1: and help us control the illegal immigrant population. And so
Speaker 1: that's why pausive tariffs. This don't isn't connected with any
Speaker 1: specific announcement that I saw in Caes like, we are
Speaker 1: doing this because fill in the blank. It's just because
Speaker 1: we're importing the steel and aluminum from other countries, is it.
Speaker 1: Do you think has it been expressed somewhere that has
Speaker 1: Trump's hope that this will bring back the manufacturing of
Speaker 1: steel and aluminum in our country.
Speaker 19: Yeah, I think that underlies a lot of the decisions
Speaker 19: you're going to see this administration make at the end
Speaker 19: of the day.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 19: Yeah, we want to stop the bad stuff from flowing
Speaker 19: across the borders, and this is a great way to
Speaker 19: get attention and do it. But another goal, and I
Speaker 19: don't want to call it a secondary goal, it's just
Speaker 19: another goal, is to impose the United States a little
Speaker 19: more in the world order of how these goods and
Speaker 19: services get traded. So we are we are an expensive nation.
Speaker 19: You and I talk about this all the time. It's
Speaker 19: expensive to produce things here because of all the rules
Speaker 19: and regulations we have. Some are good and should be there,
Speaker 19: some are a little probably a little overdone and maybe
Speaker 19: need to be reviewed. But currently all we're trying to
Speaker 19: do because it's going to be harder to get all
Speaker 19: the all the regulation and all that stuff out. It's
Speaker 19: going to take more time, a lot more time to
Speaker 19: reduce the impact of that. But we're simply making it
Speaker 19: more expensive form for other countries to compete with US. Uh,
Speaker 19: And that to me, that's a band aid, right, that's
Speaker 19: simply saying, in the short run, we can just make
Speaker 19: it more expensive for other countries to push their goods
Speaker 19: into the United States while in the background we're trying
Speaker 19: to reduce That's why you're hearing about this department's gone
Speaker 19: and this one's under review. Whether this stuff is constitutional.
Speaker 19: Who knows, uh, not a constant constitutional law expert here.
Speaker 19: But the goal there would be to reduce the long
Speaker 19: term cost of producing these goods in the United States.
Speaker 19: In the short run, we're going to increase our competitiveness
Speaker 19: by just making it more expensive for other countries to
Speaker 19: compete here.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I don't know if to get to point B,
Speaker 1: which is making it easier to manufacture here, I mean,
Speaker 1: do we have to go through the pain? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Trump's got that you know, if every one regulation that's implemented,
Speaker 1: you got get rid of ten. It used to be two.
Speaker 1: But maybe the ten regulations that we're getting rid of
Speaker 1: might impact the cost of doing business in the United States.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've created this expense here. We've got OSHU,
Speaker 1: we've got EPA, We've got all these rules and regulations.
Speaker 1: We've got you know, union mandates in terms of contracts
Speaker 1: they negotiated for, you know, really expensive hourly wages and
Speaker 1: mandatory work conditions and everything just makes it more expensive.
Speaker 1: Of course, if you can use slave labor like in
Speaker 1: China to manufacturer steel, of course it's going to be
Speaker 1: a lot cheaper. I mean, you know, we have kind
Speaker 1: of done it to ourselves in many respects. Not to
Speaker 1: negate your legitimate point that some of these rules and
Speaker 1: regulations are important. It's just there's too many of them.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 19: And we've never really had at least I can't think
Speaker 19: of in my adult memory. I'm about fifty years old,
Speaker 19: and I cannot think of my adult memory of any kind.
Speaker 11: Of major review or overhaul.
Speaker 19: Whenever the idea surfaced in Congress to get some of
Speaker 19: these things cleaned up, then it would be quickly shot
Speaker 19: down from the other side. I look at the social
Speaker 19: security argument we talk about that doesn't work either, and
Speaker 19: bills hit the floor every year, several times a year
Speaker 19: to actually address that problem, but they're very easily shot.
Speaker 11: Down by either side.
Speaker 19: Well, now all of a sudden, there appears to be
Speaker 19: a third side that doesn't really have to cowtow to
Speaker 19: the other two sides. Now again, whether this stuff holds
Speaker 19: up in court, that's going to be the challenge, because
Speaker 19: there's some things coming out of DC right now that
Speaker 19: have nothing to do and go completely counter to the Constitution.
Speaker 19: Whether they're good moves bad moves, somebody is going to
Speaker 19: stand up and say, hey, this does not go go
Speaker 19: with the words that are in our constitution that we
Speaker 19: all agreed was a pretty good idea a few hundred
Speaker 19: years ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And like all things, ultimately, litigation will result and
Speaker 1: we'll finally get some answer when it finally ultimately reaches
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court if it goes out high. But you know,
Speaker 1: you're talking multiple years for any of these things to
Speaker 1: see the light of some final decision.
Speaker 19: Absolutely, and I think that's why Trump's taking the approach
Speaker 19: that he is, which is just let's just slam the
Speaker 19: door on these things. Whatever happens, maybe the glass in
Speaker 19: the door breaks, who cares, We'll clean it up. I'm
Speaker 19: not waving the flag saying this is a great idea.
Speaker 19: It is definitely a different idea, and it's a different
Speaker 19: approach sort of that scorch and burn. Let's burn everything down,
Speaker 19: tear it all apart, and we will rebuild the stuff
Speaker 19: that we have to rebuild and leave alone the stuff
Speaker 19: that apparently wasn't necessary in the first place. A lot
Speaker 19: of that comes from Elon Musk. That that is Elon
Speaker 19: Musk to way. If you read his biography, if you
Speaker 19: see how he built those businesses, he would he had
Speaker 19: very strict rules about same as you just mentioned. If
Speaker 19: we're going to put one rule in place, we're going
Speaker 19: to get rid of five others. Every rule he creates
Speaker 19: must have somebody's name attached to it, so that ten
Speaker 19: years from now we can go back to that person.
Speaker 11: To say, why does this rule exist and do we
Speaker 11: still need it?
Speaker 19: Versus like you said, regulations that have been in place
Speaker 19: for decades that may or may not have any application anymore.
Speaker 1: Right, and many of them redundant. Many of them, you know,
Speaker 1: just outlandishly expensive too. That's saying that's the key. You
Speaker 1: got to pay a legal department to pay attention to
Speaker 1: the CODA FED federal regulations. And for every hour spent
Speaker 1: by a lawyer, that is profit that's being taken away
Speaker 1: from the company and time spent on something that most
Speaker 1: prudent businesses really wish they didn't have to spend any
Speaker 1: time on.
Speaker 19: Yeah, and that's the American way legal companies and now
Speaker 19: they realize this is a huge opportunity. The more the
Speaker 19: messier this is, the more confusing it is, the more
Speaker 19: profit can be made. You know, look at look at
Speaker 19: the TurboTax people. Oh, I know the biggest lobbies in DC.
Speaker 19: Let's like people confused them unable to do their own taxes.
Speaker 13: Oh.
Speaker 1: If I could lay hands on a problem, I think
Speaker 1: that would be the first place I go. The United
Speaker 1: States tax code. It's insane and all it is used
Speaker 1: for as a vehicle for the federal government to manipulate
Speaker 1: businesses into doing things that they otherwise wouldn't do as
Speaker 1: prudent in businesses. Any pause, We're going to take an early,
Speaker 1: slightly early break eight four. Team will bring him back
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about your insurance rates are going up,
Speaker 1: stating the obvious, but why also how much you planned
Speaker 1: on spending on Valentine's Day. One more segment with Brian
Speaker 1: James this morning, be right back fifty five KARC the
Speaker 1: talk station eight eighteen fifty five KRCD Talk Station Brian
Speaker 1: Thomas with Brian James from Aulworth Mancher doing Money Monday, Wow,
Speaker 1: Insurance r. I know insurance rates are going through the roof, Brian,
Speaker 1: and one might think immediately that it's because of the
Speaker 1: natural disasters. You got wildfires in California, you got hurricanes
Speaker 1: hitting the Florida and you know, running through in the
Speaker 1: flooding in North Carolina, and all this obviously has to
Speaker 1: be paid for by insurance companies, assuming insurance companies are
Speaker 1: actually insuring these these these dwellings. But as I understand,
Speaker 1: it's large part the growing insurance rates are because of
Speaker 1: litigation lawsuits, at least the corner of this article from
Speaker 1: Fox Business, I have Brian there you are, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 11: There, we are sorry about that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 11: So they're calling it the Torque tax.
Speaker 19: The average American household is going to pay about forty
Speaker 19: two hundred dollars a year through their premiums due to
Speaker 19: these litigation costs, which is simply that that's just how
Speaker 19: we've grown as a Society's we've always been a litigious
Speaker 19: society because at the end of the day, in the
Speaker 19: good old United States, a profit margin Suing people is
Speaker 19: a great way to make money, right, we all kind
Speaker 19: of know this, but it's gotten worse and worse. Just
Speaker 19: like anything else anywhere, it is recognized that a profit
Speaker 19: can be made, a profit will be made, and it
Speaker 19: will be maximized and optimized. So there are companies out
Speaker 19: there who solely exist to take on lawsuits for people.
Speaker 19: For example, if you're if you're involved in some kind
Speaker 19: of a medical malpractice suit, there are plenty of law
Speaker 19: firms out there that have investors behind them who are
Speaker 19: investing in the research of that lawsuit. The person who
Speaker 19: was wronged by it will financially benefit, of course if
Speaker 19: there's a win, but obviously getting a much smaller percentage.
Speaker 19: These are literally like they're starting to look like little
Speaker 19: startup companies. Right, something happens to somebody and there's and
Speaker 19: there's a somewhat clear you know, medical malpractice type of
Speaker 19: a suit. Well, let's not just sue the medical provider
Speaker 19: behind it. Let's get as much as we possibly can,
Speaker 19: regardless of the impact. This is just skyrocketing, and it's
Speaker 19: literally raising your and my insurance premiums because the insurance
Speaker 19: companies have to react to that as well as of
Speaker 19: course they have their own profit motivations as well. So
Speaker 19: there's a lot going on out there that is going
Speaker 19: to continue to raise these costs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I was really you know, I was a
Speaker 1: litigation attorney for sixteen years. I involved I did defense work,
Speaker 1: you know, towards liability, a product liability that a lot
Speaker 1: of those defended companies like Cooper Industries for injuries that
Speaker 1: were claimed to be as a consequence of something that
Speaker 1: their product did. But this idea that that attorneys are
Speaker 1: are expanding the expectations of the basically the jury pool
Speaker 1: by advertising My client got twenty million dollars from this
Speaker 1: auto accident and then going into court making wailed outlandish
Speaker 1: claims for damages because you know, you got to start someplace.
Speaker 1: It's like a negotiation. It's like Trump start now. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna buy Greenland. Maybe you just get this. The
Speaker 1: conversation started about how we can improve relations with it
Speaker 1: or whatever you got to start somewhere. But they start
Speaker 1: these crazy amounts and juries get it in their mind that, well,
Speaker 1: that's kind of normal. But it's not. There's no connection
Speaker 1: with these wild claims of damages to the reality of
Speaker 1: the injury that that person allegedly suffered.
Speaker 19: Yeah, but you're right, those eight and sometimes nine digit
Speaker 19: jury verdicts are becoming normalized, and that's why you have
Speaker 19: these signs shoved in your face. You're just trying to
Speaker 19: drive to work or run to the grocery store, and
Speaker 19: you're seeing billboards that advertise this, We're seeing it on
Speaker 19: social media. It's just a way that this industry. Then
Speaker 19: I'm gonna go ahead and call this an industry. It's
Speaker 19: little cottage industry, I would say, Yeah, is affecting how you,
Speaker 19: as a potential juror might react. So, in other words,
Speaker 19: when you finally do land in that jury box, as
Speaker 19: all of us will probably once in our lives, you
Speaker 19: won't blink at the idea of a ten million dollar
Speaker 19: verdict that itself has a has a nickname. Nuclear verdicts
Speaker 19: is what they're calling jury verdicts of ten million dollars
Speaker 19: or more. The top one hundred of these have increased
Speaker 19: by about three hundred and fifty percent in the last
Speaker 19: six years. Overall personal injury verdicts since twenty ten are
Speaker 19: up three hundred and nineteen percent, so we're seeing a
Speaker 19: huge increase. Again, it's just a place, it's just a
Speaker 19: new business. There are literally investors here, yeah, supporting law firms,
Speaker 19: just like you would you would raise funds for a
Speaker 19: technology company or something like that. They're supporting law firms
Speaker 19: who will go chase and prosecute these quote unquote opportunities.
Speaker 1: You know what, this seems to me just a screaming
Speaker 1: cry for some ethics reforms and some rules governing the
Speaker 1: practice of law, because this article points out that foreign parties,
Speaker 1: for example, the Chinese Communist Party are some of the
Speaker 1: investors who finance these lawsuits. I mean the idea of
Speaker 1: some outside person financing and then glombing onto some chunk
Speaker 1: of the award which should have either gone to the
Speaker 1: planefs lawyers who did the legal work, or or to
Speaker 1: their client who they represent, but that they have to
Speaker 1: shell out a chunk of this jury or you can
Speaker 1: give to some third party investor. That just seems to
Speaker 1: be just completely unethical. But who am I but a priortigation.
Speaker 11: Rationally thinking American.
Speaker 19: Unfortunately, we just put an administration in place that is
Speaker 19: not going to lift a finger to do that. Because
Speaker 19: to fight that, because that's going to be more regulation,
Speaker 19: we're going to be going the opposite direction.
Speaker 11: You're going to hear more and more about this.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know that it requires federal legislation. This
Speaker 1: requires like state bar associations to enact rules that say
Speaker 1: you just can't do that. As a lawyer in the
Speaker 1: state practicing here, that is prohibited period. It could be
Speaker 1: done grassroots efforts have to get the plaintiffs bar behind it.
Speaker 1: Ha ha. Good luck with that, all right, Brian, The
Speaker 1: answer for me is nothing. I may buy a card
Speaker 1: to celebrate the day of our engagement, but you know,
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day is just like any other day of the
Speaker 1: week from my perspective, and it's just an excuse for
Speaker 1: people to feel like they've got to go out and
Speaker 1: spend a lot of money, and apparently they do.
Speaker 11: They do.
Speaker 19: Indeed, so we're expected to spend twenty five point eight
Speaker 19: billion dollars eh in this Yeah, that's a lot a
Speaker 19: lot of money.
Speaker 11: That chocolate just got expensive.
Speaker 19: Uh, And we'll spend an average of one hundred and
Speaker 19: eighty five dollars on gifts and experiences.
Speaker 11: Now this, this, this blows my mind.
Speaker 19: I hope Michelle James is not expecting one hundred and
Speaker 19: eighty five dollars worth of gifts and experiences if you
Speaker 19: take She would flap me straight across the face if
Speaker 19: I did that anything.
Speaker 11: That's why I married her the first place.
Speaker 1: Night She's prudent, she's frugal. She knows the value of
Speaker 1: a dollar, and she has low expectations that you're gonna
Speaker 1: go out and shot a boatload of money for well,
Speaker 1: just another day.
Speaker 19: She is so frugal that the first time I bought
Speaker 19: her flowers a million years ago, she yelled at me
Speaker 19: because flowers are expensive and they die, and we've got
Speaker 19: more important things to spend money on.
Speaker 1: Sounds like you, very well the same kind of woman
Speaker 1: as mine. My wife is very frugal and prudent. And yes,
Speaker 1: that's that's wonderful. So maybe reflect on that. And if
Speaker 1: you get yelled at for not spending a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of money on Valentine's Day, you might want to reflect
Speaker 1: on that too, Brian.
Speaker 11: I really am not. I'm too worried that that's gonna.
Speaker 1: Be a You have e buff, brother, you have e buff.
Speaker 1: That's why I'll be married thirty three years in June.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of the big reasons anyway, Brian James
Speaker 1: always appreciate our conversations. And we'll do it again next
Speaker 1: Monday for another edition of Money Monday. And thanksgeting to
Speaker 1: all word for loading you out.
Speaker 11: You bet enjoy it. Every week we'll talk to you them.
Speaker 1: All right, look forward to it eight twenty five right now.
Speaker 1: Coming up next Mandy A Gunna Sakara with the book
Speaker 1: Y'all Fired, Southern Bell's Guide to Restoring Federalism and Draining
Speaker 1: the Swamp. We talked with her last October, bringing her
Speaker 1: back on to talk about what she thinks about Elon
Speaker 1: Musk and the Doge Department and the draining of the swamp.
Speaker 1: I hope he can stick around fifty five KRC the
Speaker 1: simply sh eight thirty fifty bout KRCD Talk Station. Very
Speaker 1: Happy Monday too. You made you an extra special happy
Speaker 1: because the return of Mandy Gunnas Sakara, author of Y'all Fired,
Speaker 1: A Southern Bell's Guide to Restoring Federalism and Draining the Swamp.
Speaker 1: We had he around in October when the book first
Speaker 1: came out. She's spent at the center of the US
Speaker 1: energy and environmental policy for a full decade from the
Speaker 1: Senate cloak room of the Oval Office of veteran environmental attorney,
Speaker 1: energy strategist, and communicator, served during President Trump's first term.
Speaker 1: Is Chief of Staff at the US Environmental Protection Agency.
Speaker 1: Currently a visiting fellow the Heritage Foundation, and welcome back.
Speaker 1: It is a real pleasure to have you back on
Speaker 1: the show, Mandy.
Speaker 16: Yeah, good to be with you.
Speaker 3: Brian.
Speaker 1: I mean, can I just sort of sum up what
Speaker 1: I think your perception is that this Doge Department is
Speaker 1: like the answer to your dreams?
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think you summed it up. Well, it really is.
Speaker 16: And man, it's such a.
Speaker 20: Beautiful thing to see because having been on the inside,
Speaker 20: even in my position as chief of staff and the
Speaker 20: access to the information that I had, it was hard
Speaker 20: to paint the whole picture. You could pinpoint specific types
Speaker 20: of waste, fraud or abuse or redundancies and efficiencies. You
Speaker 20: could pinpoint those sorts of things, but it really is
Speaker 20: a beautiful thing where you have someone like Elon and
Speaker 20: his really talented team of software engineers going and looking
Speaker 20: at the data and then painting a big picture in
Speaker 20: ways that all of us can understand and all of
Speaker 20: us can see. Is an absolute misuse of taxpayer resources.
Speaker 20: So yeah, it's an answer to a lot of prayers.
Speaker 1: Actually, well, sunlight, it's a great disinfect and lord ness,
Speaker 1: we're getting a lot of it. And you one of
Speaker 1: the problems that I'm sure you probably during your period
Speaker 1: of time in the administration were as frustrated as anybody else,
Speaker 1: the obstructionism that comes when when people that are responsible
Speaker 1: for the oversight of our dollars, subcommittees, committees, the congressmen,
Speaker 1: the congress women, the senators, when they're told basically go
Speaker 1: to hell when they ask for information.
Speaker 20: Yeah, really, I know, I know, it's it's really frustrating,
Speaker 20: and it's you know, that is part of their responsibility.
Speaker 20: Their responsibility is to report back to the public how
Speaker 20: they're using these funds and what it's actually doing. But
Speaker 20: it's not just the members of Congress. I mean, it's
Speaker 20: also these bureaucrats, these entrenched deep state bureaucrats.
Speaker 16: And here's the truth. There is a there is a crisis.
Speaker 20: Of expertise on Capitol Hill, Frankly, you have a lot
Speaker 20: of people there that don't really know what they're doing,
Speaker 20: so they're wholly depending on deep state bureaucrats who've been
Speaker 20: working at their job for thirty years to give them
Speaker 20: information they don't otherwise know how to get.
Speaker 16: So that's how the deep state works.
Speaker 20: They don't give them all the information. Maybe they give
Speaker 20: them a little drip drip here. But it's been many
Speaker 20: decades of this type of imbalance between an agency funded
Speaker 20: to eight at the tune of eight billion dollars and
Speaker 20: as EPA is an example, with that oversight staff of
Speaker 20: less than two million.
Speaker 16: Dollars trying to perform oversight, and.
Speaker 20: So you just have this massive mismatch and the resulting
Speaker 20: consequences is just decades of layers of complexity and us
Speaker 20: not knowing how our resources are spent well.
Speaker 1: And it's also seemed to be very obviously a just
Speaker 1: simple lack of care of how money is spent. I mean,
Speaker 1: Musk over the weekend was talking about, you know, over
Speaker 1: looking at through the Department of Treasury, right Treasury Department,
Speaker 1: and he says, you know, I was told that there
Speaker 1: were currently over one hundred billion dollars a year of
Speaker 1: in time went payments individual with no those social Security number,
Speaker 1: even a temporary ID number. And see, you know, he
Speaker 1: pulls the room and Treasury he says, what percentage of
Speaker 1: that is unequivocal obvious fraud? And the consensus in the
Speaker 1: room was at least fifty billion dollars of it. That's
Speaker 1: something that's simple to fix. Look, no social Security number,
Speaker 1: no ID, you don't get any money. How hard is that?
Speaker 20: It shouldn't be difficult at all. But that's what these agencies,
Speaker 20: they've just become all about, constantly asking for more money.
Speaker 20: There is no incentive for the everyday bureaucrat to find
Speaker 20: ways to be incentive to find ways to cut costs
Speaker 20: and to be truthful about the expenditure.
Speaker 16: Of those costs.
Speaker 20: And there's this this mentality, this culture in DC that
Speaker 20: people are almost entitled to these taxpayer resources. And when
Speaker 20: you come in and you ask questions, they like to
Speaker 20: pretend like they're these global do gooders and they're saying, oh,
Speaker 20: but this poor person is going to lose access to
Speaker 20: these resources.
Speaker 16: That they really need.
Speaker 20: Meanwhile, that person isn't even getting the fund to the
Speaker 20: extent they're getting any it's barely enough to actually live.
Speaker 16: But you know what's coming off the top.
Speaker 20: A fair amount is coming off the top and going
Speaker 20: to nonprofits that either pad them personally or their relatives
Speaker 20: or just grow the power of the left, which is
Speaker 20: ultimately what they want.
Speaker 1: Yeah, non governmental organizations NGOs, you know, and quite the
Speaker 1: old we're five oh one c three, we're not for profit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you're making a salary of four hundred and five
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars a year, is president or CEO the
Speaker 1: five o' one C three. I mean, that's what's happening.
Speaker 16: Yeah, that's exactly right. And it's it's so discussing.
Speaker 20: It's so many of them is going to the spouses
Speaker 20: of people. Yeah, you know, just just look at the
Speaker 20: net worth of someone like Samantha Power. She was the administrator,
Speaker 20: that head essentially of USAID, and her net worth grew
Speaker 20: five times. I think that's right. It's around that it's
Speaker 20: a significant number, grew five times. Her salary has been
Speaker 20: the same salaries for bureaucrats are typically capped out around
Speaker 20: one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. Yeah, somehow, Well, she
Speaker 20: has a mass a multi million dollar fortune, and it
Speaker 20: just leaves you scratching your head, huh, where did that
Speaker 20: money come from? And it's most likely because it was
Speaker 20: funneled to nonprofits of what she or her family was
Speaker 20: sitting on the board and they get to reap the
Speaker 20: benefits of millions of dollars of taxpayer funds going into
Speaker 20: their back pocket, and they cover it up by saying, well,
Speaker 20: we're helping the poor in the world, We're giving people
Speaker 20: in Africa access to water and food. But really they
Speaker 20: are just patting their own personal coffers.
Speaker 1: Well, and as I read through the list of these
Speaker 1: things that the Doge has revealed and the comments from
Speaker 1: the senators that you know, I had no idea that
Speaker 1: this money was being spent this way, And I said,
Speaker 1: wait a second, aren't she responsible for the power of
Speaker 1: the purse? Mean, you go ahead and you allocate forty
Speaker 1: million dollars to USA, but then you stop. Somebody had
Speaker 1: to approve the project. But ultimately, you know, twenty million
Speaker 1: dollars goes to a sesame street show in a rock
Speaker 1: And then how much of that twenty million dollars really
Speaker 1: went to the sesame street show in a rock fort.
Speaker 1: Actually it didn't land in some corrupt officials pocket. They
Speaker 1: don't follow the trail of the money, and so it
Speaker 1: just stops once the aid's been allocated to the general
Speaker 1: collective us AID fund.
Speaker 20: Yeah, that's right, and it's there's no accountability and no oversight.
Speaker 20: And that's why you see the people who are screaming
Speaker 20: the most, or the ones who have the most to
Speaker 20: lose in terms of this personal racket or money laundering scheme,
Speaker 20: if you will, that that is what it is. These
Speaker 20: people are using their positions of trust and consequence to
Speaker 20: siphon money off to the side to their benefit. And
Speaker 20: they use stories of people that most people would say like, yeah,
Speaker 20: they could use some help, or of course we would
Speaker 20: want to take care of these vulnerable populations.
Speaker 15: They use that.
Speaker 16: As a cover for their own sick game.
Speaker 20: And those are the people who are sitting outside of
Speaker 20: USAID or some of these other areas that are throwing
Speaker 20: up their hands, and the Democrat members of Congress who
Speaker 20: are at the front of the line because they are
Speaker 20: recipients of campaign donations from these people who are putting
Speaker 20: taxpayer resources.
Speaker 16: In their own pocket.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the to me, that is the most
Speaker 1: I don't want I want to call it comical that
Speaker 1: they're screaming at the top of their lungs over these
Speaker 1: funds being identified, these outlandish, outrageous programs that no American
Speaker 1: could find straight faced legitimate. They're not saying that the
Speaker 1: money didn't go to these stupid programs like shrimp running
Speaker 1: on treadmills. They're just screaming about the general focus on
Speaker 1: USA and the fraud, waste abuse and defending it for
Speaker 1: some reason. Just there's there's no denial here. There's no
Speaker 1: that didn't happen. That's a lie. Elon Musk is making
Speaker 1: that up.
Speaker 20: It's yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's it's just frustrating to see.
Speaker 20: And I will say though, it's it's frustrating to see
Speaker 20: some of the reaction, but you know, those people are
Speaker 20: in the minority now and that is a really wonderful feeling, and.
Speaker 16: The cats out of the bag. I mean, again, those
Speaker 16: of us who are on the inside.
Speaker 20: Some of it was the fact that we didn't really
Speaker 20: understand the links the deep State would go to cover
Speaker 20: their tracks, and they had decades to figure out ways
Speaker 20: to cover up their tracks, and they're very very good
Speaker 20: at it.
Speaker 16: So we were all in there. You know, you're drinking.
Speaker 20: From a fire hose is the words people often used
Speaker 20: to describe what it's like to go into these positions,
Speaker 20: and a lot of us went in not knowing that
Speaker 20: the tricks that the Deep State would use not just
Speaker 20: to confuse, but to try to undermine and to hide
Speaker 20: what they were actually doing.
Speaker 16: All that's over. So it really is.
Speaker 20: Great to see Elon Musk, his team, Department of Government Efficiency,
Speaker 20: and most importantly, the American people see this and they're
Speaker 20: behind the President and his work one hundred and ten percent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know it as well as I do. Yeah, Mandy,
Speaker 1: that they've only scratched the surface. I mean, Elon Musk
Speaker 1: has identified some real low hanging fruit just in one
Speaker 1: USA department. I mentioned the Treasury Department. He's worked there
Speaker 1: as long as he can get his access back centers
Speaker 1: for Medicare and Medicaid Service, National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, Department
Speaker 1: of Energy, and Lord Almighty, nobody wants me more, that
Speaker 1: wants the military spending to be audited more than me.
Speaker 1: They can't even pass an audit seven or eight times
Speaker 1: in a row. Mandy.
Speaker 16: I know, and I'm sure I'm sure you've seen.
Speaker 20: There was an interview not too long ago of one
Speaker 20: of the uh, one of the heads, one of the
Speaker 20: people who was responsible for these types of audits, and
Speaker 20: you know, she was just incredulous that.
Speaker 16: People would wouldn't trust them.
Speaker 20: Yeah, we felled audits, but you don't understand what an
Speaker 20: audit is is essentially her response, and it doesn't really matter.
Speaker 20: Like again, this goes through there's this culture of people
Speaker 20: in DC that are so arrogant and so flippant about
Speaker 20: their very real responsibility. And when people come around asking
Speaker 20: basic questions that they cannot answer.
Speaker 16: Uh, they just they try to belittle you to.
Speaker 20: Say that, well, you don't really understand it. If you were,
Speaker 20: if you were like me, you would understand. So yeah, look,
Speaker 20: Elon Musk is scratching the surface.
Speaker 16: This type of.
Speaker 20: Misuse and miss expenditure of funds.
Speaker 16: It permeates every single agency.
Speaker 20: So there's a lot more to come and I'm excited
Speaker 20: to see it, for it to finally be exposed.
Speaker 1: A lot more to come and maybe even I'll keep
Speaker 1: my fingers crossed some criminal investigations into where this money
Speaker 1: has landed. Manny gives the car author of Y'all Fired,
Speaker 1: A Southern Bell's Guide to Restoring Federalism and draining the swamp.
Speaker 1: She had an advance on Doge. This is what the
Speaker 1: book's about. And I'm sure, I said, I know she's
Speaker 1: seeing it just come all to fruition with it being
Speaker 1: ferreted out. Mandy. I got your book up on my
Speaker 1: blog page, but if I have cares dot com so
Speaker 1: people can get a copy of it to the extent
Speaker 1: they haven't done it already, and I'll encourage them to
Speaker 1: do so. It's been great here talking with you. Keep
Speaker 1: up the great work and looking forward to another volume
Speaker 1: maybe uh something like along the aftermath lines.
Speaker 20: Yeah, what it's like after y'all fired. Yeah, well we'll
Speaker 20: come up with a goods out. But thank you, thanks
Speaker 20: for having me and thanks for the support.
Speaker 1: Well pleasure, Mandy. It's been a real true he
