Speaker 1: Five o five Happy you k r s the talk
Speaker 1: station every Friday Eve a vacation.
Speaker 2: Yep, I wish we could just play that whole song.
Speaker 2: Oh look, futures are off, Happy Happy Friday, Eve Thursday,
Speaker 2: call it what you want. Almost at the end of
Speaker 2: the week and you gotta be on vacation next week,
Speaker 2: looking forward to exhaling and sleeping in a mental health week.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: That's what it's all about anyhow, what's all about here
Speaker 2: in the fifty five Morning Show. Get to see Sean
Speaker 2: mc mannon there covering for Joe's tracker. The things will
Speaker 2: be well in hand. Did have a couple of technical
Speaker 2: difficulties yesterday, but no big deal. Got them all ironed out,
Speaker 2: and I think we're gonna get the return of Daniel Davis.
Speaker 2: We didn't get hear from Daniel Davis on Tuesday because
Speaker 2: of the technical difficulty and Shaun's nod and has had
Speaker 2: an approval. Yes tomorrow we'll have him on. I believe
Speaker 2: what was it seven thirty is what you got seven thirty,
Speaker 2: So we'll still get that update on what's going on
Speaker 2: in Ukraine and Russia, which is kind of fallen off
Speaker 2: the map at least in terms of reporting on it.
Speaker 2: You know, it was dominating the news and back and forth.
Speaker 2: It's amazing how the news cycle changes. I know that
Speaker 2: ward in the conflict is still going on, just don't
Speaker 2: really have quite a handle on where it is. I
Speaker 2: think the latest news I read as Russia was making
Speaker 2: further inroads into Ukrainian territory, which I think that's what
Speaker 2: Daniel Davis has been pointing out for the last several months,
Speaker 2: not full year anyway.
Speaker 1: What's coming up today?
Speaker 2: George Redman and studio restored Lardy dot Us events on Sunday,
Speaker 2: talked a little bit about yesterday with Americans for Prosperities
Speaker 2: Donovan O'Neil. On that one, we'll hear more from George,
Speaker 2: who's going to be in studio, and we'll also hear
Speaker 2: in the seven o'clock hour from Congressman Warren Davidson. It'll
Speaker 2: be good timing for that one. House passed a bill
Speaker 2: yesterday to limit nationwide injunctions by district court judges. Future
Speaker 2: uncertain in the Senate, I will assure you on that one.
Speaker 2: Speaker Johnson also delayed the vote on the Senate budget resolution.
Speaker 2: A lot of conservative Republicans holding out for promises of
Speaker 2: greater cuts to government spending, which if you're going to
Speaker 2: hold out for something, I think that's a worthy holdout.
Speaker 2: And the Senate has a paltry four billion over ten years,
Speaker 2: which is they spill more than that on a daily
Speaker 2: basis in the federal government. But anyway, we'll hear from
Speaker 2: Congressman Davidson on a variety of topics. Of course, we
Speaker 2: have no shortage of topics to talk about. Brian Resider
Speaker 2: with the book Landridge, Cash Poor, My Family's Hope and
Speaker 2: the Untold History of the Disappearing American Farmer. Brian's going
Speaker 2: to join the program in eight of five talk about
Speaker 2: that book. And of course I have a lot of
Speaker 2: farmers in my lineage, including the fact that I married
Speaker 2: out of my element OutKick my coverage with my wife,
Speaker 2: daughter of a dairy farmer. And while I have never
Speaker 2: you know, you can't fully appreciate the life of a
Speaker 2: small farmer, especially a dairy farmer, until you see what
Speaker 2: it requires. And oh my word, it is the toughest job.
Speaker 2: They're all, I mean, they're proud of what they do,
Speaker 2: the work that they put in on the farm. And
Speaker 2: you know, again, dairy farmers you got to milk those
Speaker 2: cows twice a day, or they don't produce and you
Speaker 2: don't get any income. You can't leave, or you have
Speaker 2: to have other people there to take over the job
Speaker 2: of milk and cows every day. It's just amazing how
Speaker 2: much work's involved in that. And it's not exactly a
Speaker 2: fat bank job either. My wife did not grow up
Speaker 2: in the lap of luxury at all, but she understands
Speaker 2: the value of hard work. And I always like to
Speaker 2: point out it's an interesting thing. You know, they never
Speaker 2: really had much. Her dad built their house with his
Speaker 2: own two hands. You might think, oh, it's probably a
Speaker 2: ramshackle house. No, you know, not large ranch shaw house.
Speaker 2: But I was always amazed at the brick work. The
Speaker 2: man was not Amazon. But you you could take a
Speaker 2: ruler with millimeters on it and go around the entire
Speaker 2: house and measure the width of the mortar between the
Speaker 2: bricks that he laid himself, and you couldn't. It wouldn't
Speaker 2: be a millimeter off. Everything was absolutely perfectly laid. And again,
Speaker 2: he wasn't amazing. He wasn't a trained brick layer. I
Speaker 2: don't know how he figured it out, but he did.
Speaker 2: That's the kind of thing you had to do. She
Speaker 2: grew up in a small, small house, three total bedrooms,
Speaker 2: her her twin brother, and her two sisters. You spend
Speaker 2: most of your time outside. There wasn't a whole lot
Speaker 2: of room to roam around inside the house, canning your
Speaker 2: own food and the interesting story, you know, when you
Speaker 2: get it used to a lot of amenities. And then
Speaker 2: the nineteen seventies, stagflation comes in and people are struggling,
Speaker 2: and people are without jobs, and people are you know,
Speaker 2: complaining over the prime I remember people complaining of the
Speaker 2: price of coffee. A gasoline with shortage. You had lines
Speaker 2: around the corner rationing of gasoline and things like that.
Speaker 2: You know, you had your if your license play ended
Speaker 2: in an odd number or an even number, you were
Speaker 2: allowed to fill up or you weren't, in order to
Speaker 2: keep the lines of traffic down. For gas stations, I
Speaker 2: actually had gas. They didn't know any that was going on, really,
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe aware of it because of the news,
Speaker 2: but their life didn't change. They went on with their
Speaker 2: lives day to day. Nothing changed, you know, they didn't
Speaker 2: struggle or suffer more because of what was going on
Speaker 2: in the world. But then again, you know, when things
Speaker 2: bounce back, their lives didn't bounce back any greater than
Speaker 2: it was. It was a sort of a static line.
Speaker 2: And it's kind of an interesting and you know, I
Speaker 2: think fascinating, a neat concept. But when you're pretty much
Speaker 2: self sufficient, that's the way it is. You up happy.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Anyway, we'll talk about the American farmer
Speaker 2: eight to five started golf on that tangent. Jay Ratle,
Speaker 2: fireheart media aviation expert. I always looked forward to Thursdays at
Speaker 2: ay thirty. Today, unruly passenger causes a sixteen hour delay,
Speaker 2: calls for a boycott after airline is selected for ice
Speaker 2: deportation flights naturally and an emotional support animal mix up
Speaker 2: strand as a passenger and her emotional support support animal
Speaker 2: in Puerto Rico. Good stories of Jay. So what happened yesterday? Wow?
Speaker 1: The stock market bounce back.
Speaker 2: Donald Trump announced that he was pausing the reciprocal tariffs
Speaker 2: and went into effect for ninety days, and of course
Speaker 2: raised the rates on China, who seems to be the
Speaker 2: only country out there that's not willing to play ball.
Speaker 2: Trump said he'd authorized a ninety eight pause and substantially
Speaker 2: low reciprocal tariffs during this period of down to ten
Speaker 2: percent across the board, which was prepared anyway effective immediately
Speaker 2: decision and the pause and the full impact of the tariffs.
Speaker 2: Because more than seventy five countries have already reached out
Speaker 2: to the White House to negotiate a solution on the
Speaker 2: new duties, he said, those countries also have not retaliated
Speaker 2: in any way, shape or form against the US, which
Speaker 2: was what he said up front. Here, I'm gonna here's
Speaker 2: all these tariffs are gonna throw on you. Seventy five
Speaker 2: percent for you, thirty five percent for you, depends on
Speaker 2: what their tariffs were on US goods. Of course they
Speaker 2: weren't as high as some of the countries had on
Speaker 2: our goods. But he said, hey, you want to negotiate,
Speaker 2: come on, let's negotiate. You don't want to negotiate, We're
Speaker 2: gonna leave it that way, or maybe even get worse,
Speaker 2: which is exactly what happened with Beijing. China now facing
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty five percent tariff that hours after
Speaker 2: Beijing said it would be imposing higher tariffs on US products.
Speaker 2: I think they bumped theirs up eighty five percent, so
Speaker 2: not wanting to play ball, you get worse tariffs, or
Speaker 2: it's going to remain the status quo. You want to
Speaker 2: play ball, you get a tariff pause. Now, all this
Speaker 2: argument in this discussion exists outside of the realm whether
Speaker 2: any of this is within the executive branches authority. And
Speaker 2: of course we had these conversations yesterday, of course with
Speaker 2: Judge Ednita, Poloitano and others have also observed, like Congressman Massey,
Speaker 2: that you know, this may be extra constitutional, but ignoring
Speaker 2: the legal realities of what's going on, it's literally going
Speaker 2: on before our very eyes. And what happened. The stock
Speaker 2: market blew up in a good way. Everybody's screaming and moaning, yelling,
Speaker 2: oh my god, we're all gonna die. We're gonna go
Speaker 2: into a recession. And I don't know what's gonna happen today,
Speaker 2: But futures are up. If I'm looking at this correctly,
Speaker 2: and I'm staring at the top scroll of the Wall
Speaker 2: Street Journal, which has futures, they're all up for this
Speaker 2: morning after yesterday, huge jump after Trump's announcement on this
Speaker 2: pause yesterday, Jones Industrial Average jump more than two thousand
Speaker 2: points five point seven percent, and I think if I'm
Speaker 2: looking at this morning's futures, it looks like seven point
Speaker 2: eighty seven percent up this morning NASDAK eight point seven
Speaker 2: percent bump, and right now I'm staring at twelve point
Speaker 2: one point six on the future scroll up. S and
Speaker 2: P five hundred probably the best indicator of the you know,
Speaker 2: at least business health as opposed to the S and
Speaker 2: P or as opposed to the Dow Industrial Average. We
Speaker 2: hear that about that from Brian James all the time
Speaker 2: as well as others. S and P up six point
Speaker 2: eight percent yesterday, at least as of the reporting on
Speaker 2: the article I'm looking at. But across the board, the
Speaker 2: markets went through the roof, erasing all of the losses
Speaker 2: that people struggled with over the last several days after
Speaker 2: the TERFF announcements. So negotiations in play. Maybe we'll come
Speaker 2: up with some free trade that would be good for
Speaker 2: the global economy, I would argue, And look Canada, Canadian
Speaker 2: Prime Minister Mark Karney pledged yesterday to negotiate new economic
Speaker 2: and security relationship with the United States. This after he
Speaker 2: announced the pause, the pause and reciprocal terrence and now
Speaker 2: by President Trump. He said, is a welcome reprieve for
Speaker 2: the global economy. As President Trump and I have agreed
Speaker 2: the US president and a Canadian Prime minister will commence
Speaker 2: negotiations on a new economic policy and security relationship immediately
Speaker 2: following the federal election. That is what Canadian Prime Minister
Speaker 2: Carney said. He goes, you know, after the federal following
Speaker 2: the federal election in which he is projicted projected now
Speaker 2: to win again, So.
Speaker 1: Carni wrote.
Speaker 2: As part of today's announcement, the President has a signaled
Speaker 2: that the US will engage in bilateral negotiations with a
Speaker 2: number of other countries. This will likely result in a
Speaker 2: fundamental restructuring of the global trading system. In that context,
Speaker 2: Canada must also continue to deepen its relationship with trading
Speaker 2: partners that share our values, including the free and open
Speaker 2: exchange of good services and ideas. And that's exactly what
Speaker 2: Trump was hoping to accomplish. Imagine that bold in a
Speaker 2: China Chop attitude. Yeah, maybe bold. Could any other president
Speaker 2: have tried to accomplish this?
Speaker 1: Yes? Did any of them try to accomplish this?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: And the trade imbalances continue to grow and grow and grow,
Speaker 2: and I'm not quite sure what's going to happen with China?
Speaker 2: You know, they do rely on us heavily. Hundreds of
Speaker 2: billions of dollars we buy in Chinese made products, and
Speaker 2: this is going to have a profound impact on that. Yes,
Speaker 2: as we all know, you're to is going to be
Speaker 2: more expensive. I don't know if they make toasters in
Speaker 2: other countries, countries with whom we may negotiate a better
Speaker 2: trade relationship. Could be that that toaster may be manufactured
Speaker 2: in oh, I don't know, India or some other country.
Speaker 2: We're not making them, that's for sure, but it may
Speaker 2: be that we can get those items and goods from
Speaker 2: some other countries that we have established a better trade
Speaker 2: relationship with. I know that would create a trade imbalance
Speaker 2: with those countries because we'd be buying all this stuff
Speaker 2: rather than from China from them. But at least of
Speaker 2: the countries that come immediately to mind, that might have
Speaker 2: a less expensive manufacturing position because for all the reasons
Speaker 2: China does you know, no osha, no EPA, no regulations,
Speaker 2: cheap labor. At least they don't want to destroy us,
Speaker 2: which of course the Chinese Communist Party has hell bent
Speaker 2: on doing. Five eighteen fifty five Cacity Talk station five
Speaker 2: on three seven four nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred
Speaker 2: and eighty two to three Talk Crabbage.
Speaker 1: Mike's calling in. We're going to get an update on
Speaker 1: last night's UH celebration, the return of the Honor Flight.
Speaker 1: Looking forward to that hang around, be right back. This
Speaker 1: is fifty five KARC and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 2: You're in the futures. I just did an update on
Speaker 2: it from a different site. The Wall Street Journal had
Speaker 2: an updated their futures. So it looks like futures SMP
Speaker 2: down about one point four percent, NASTAC one point eight
Speaker 2: and now one point seven in early trading.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Let me go back over to
Speaker 1: the phones. Cribbage. Mike, my submariner friend. You were there
Speaker 1: Honor Flight tri State yesterday, first one of the season.
Speaker 1: How did it go?
Speaker 4: Man, Brian?
Speaker 5: From start to finish, Just another phenomenal day from the
Speaker 5: send off, the whole day in DC and then to
Speaker 5: come home, which is another tremendous support from the community
Speaker 5: and their family members. You know, just when you think
Speaker 5: it can't get any better, and just what a great
Speaker 5: outpouring of love and patriotism for those eighteen hours, for
Speaker 5: those Korean and Vietnam.
Speaker 1: War veterans eighteen hour day.
Speaker 2: For some of those guys are are getting up in
Speaker 2: years too, and that's it's great that they're we're able
Speaker 2: to climb that hill and just keep going and going
Speaker 2: and going. But the adrenaline flows on those days. You
Speaker 2: said you couldn't get any better, and it apparently did.
Speaker 2: You've been there for a lot of these welcome home
Speaker 2: ceremonies as well as on honor flights. Was there a
Speaker 2: bigger turnout this year? Do you think this time?
Speaker 6: You think they just.
Speaker 5: Continue to grow because I call them my Honor flight
Speaker 5: alumni because you see a lot of people now in
Speaker 5: the outskirts of the parade route wearing those gold shirts
Speaker 5: and a couple of times, I remember last October flight
Speaker 5: I had them, I says someone on the flight. He says, oh, no,
Speaker 5: I just had to be here again to experience this.
Speaker 5: You know, they estimate between like twelve and fifteen hundred.
Speaker 5: In fact, there's a beautiful over hang like a balcony
Speaker 5: that's filling up more because really during the whole Horseshoe
Speaker 5: parade route, they're about five or sixty and just a
Speaker 5: thunderous applause because we start to parade all the way
Speaker 5: in the entrance to the ticketing area and of course
Speaker 5: throw all the way down the other end. I mean,
Speaker 5: they can hear the bagpipes and it's just you know,
Speaker 5: I know what's coming, you know, And like you say that,
Speaker 5: they're glad to be home. So there's a little bit
Speaker 5: of rejuvenation when they get off that plane, but as
Speaker 5: soon as they really realize what's waiting for them, just
Speaker 5: like you said, allergy moment. But oh yeah, spring flights
Speaker 5: are so special in DC because you get a lot
Speaker 5: of eighth grade and high school trips to our nation's capital,
Speaker 5: right and on three different on three different occasions, there
Speaker 5: was a eighth grade from Columbus that went out of
Speaker 5: their way to shake their hands when we were at
Speaker 5: the World War Two Memorial. When we were at the
Speaker 5: Marine Memorial, the Regima, you know iconic flag raising statue,
Speaker 5: there was a group a high school cliffs from Los
Speaker 5: Angeles and the one father said that as we were
Speaker 5: breaking up from our picture, he said, could a couple
Speaker 5: of the vet's stand with our students? He said, because
Speaker 5: my father fought in Vietnam and I want to be
Speaker 5: able to tell them what these men did.
Speaker 2: Oh that's outstanding, just awesome. Yeah, that was one of
Speaker 2: those allergy inspiring moments when I was lucky enough to
Speaker 2: be in an honor flight. It was also at the
Speaker 2: World War Two Memorial and I had a World War
Speaker 2: Two veteran I was escorting, and we had a group
Speaker 2: of I can't remember eight or ten young people, you know,
Speaker 2: K through twelve. I'd say that maybe fifth grade, sixth
Speaker 2: grade come up and shake their hands and it was
Speaker 2: like it just, you know, at no prodding from an adult,
Speaker 2: they just seem to wander over and shake the hands
Speaker 2: of the veteran I was accompanying. And how about in
Speaker 2: the welcome home ceremony where they're young people there as well.
Speaker 5: I would say at this point at at least twenty
Speaker 5: to twenty five percent. And I sent you to those pictures.
Speaker 5: The one picture of the two young ladies holding the
Speaker 5: very treasured triangle flag that we take on every flight.
Speaker 5: Those are the Ziegler girls are from the Cleaves area.
Speaker 5: They've even been interviewed nationally. They are like our Lemon
Speaker 5: eight stan little girls.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: The other one, I believe she's about ten now. She
Speaker 5: has been at every welcome home for the last five
Speaker 5: years they do fundraising. Between the two of them and
Speaker 5: of course their mother, they've raised an excess of thirty
Speaker 5: thousand dollars on a flight and you ask them why
Speaker 5: and they said, we just love our veterans.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's so amazing. God, I'll get ready
Speaker 1: to have an allergy moment right now, Mike. Oh that's
Speaker 1: really awesome. Well, God bless you for the work you
Speaker 1: do for Honest Flight throughout the year, and thank you
Speaker 1: for providing the update. I really was looking forward to
Speaker 1: hearing from you this morning because I honestly, if I
Speaker 1: had to put all my money down on something, I
Speaker 1: would have put it down on exactly what you just
Speaker 1: got done, saying that it was a huge turnout and
Speaker 1: that you know a lot, and that young people actually
Speaker 1: showed up. I try to encourage that, Mike, because it's
Speaker 1: a great opportunity for young people to experience something they
Speaker 1: probably rarely experience, and that's a healthy dose of patriotism
Speaker 1: and respect for the American military and those who have served,
Speaker 1: so including you, Mike.
Speaker 5: Thank you, sir, May twenty first circle of your calendar.
Speaker 5: Now when they May twenty first, nine pm.
Speaker 1: Be there, amen, and you'll hear about it from me
Speaker 1: as well in advance. Thanks brother, we'll talk real soon.
Speaker 1: Man five twenty six. Right now, if you five cares
Speaker 1: to the talk station stories or phone calls, their phone
Speaker 1: calls are always welcome here in the morning show, regardless
Speaker 1: of which way we go. I'll be back after these
Speaker 1: prief words and a happy Thursday. See now, I don't
Speaker 1: know which future is index to look at. They keep changing.
Speaker 1: I look at different sources and they are different.
Speaker 2: Wherever I go something there, it's likely twelve percent up
Speaker 2: and some say one point down.
Speaker 1: I don't know anyway.
Speaker 2: I know everybody got their money back yesterday as long
Speaker 2: as you didn't pull it out of the market, including
Speaker 2: west Side Jim. I will not tell you specifically what
Speaker 2: he lost over the past week, but he got it
Speaker 2: all back plus some yesterday. And the other reason I
Speaker 2: bring up west Side Jim in the text he sent
Speaker 2: me two days into early voting, and I got this
Speaker 2: text last night about seven Only one hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: six votes have been cast in the City of Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: The Board of Elections, which he referred to as pathetic
Speaker 2: with an exclamation point. City of Cincinnati residents, it's early
Speaker 2: voting time. Let's get out there and cast a vote
Speaker 2: for Corey Bowman, good Man.
Speaker 1: Eddie how Ohio. That's the state budget.
Speaker 2: I only have a couple of highlights on it because
Speaker 2: that's all that was reported. Four thousand page omnibus bill
Speaker 2: passed sixty to thirty nine. Five Republicans said no. Some
Speaker 2: are saying there's a slash in public education funding. Some
Speaker 2: are calling it an increase. This is one of the
Speaker 2: big arguments going back and forth. The proposed budget gives
Speaker 2: two hundred and twenty six million. Proponents for greater school
Speaker 2: fundings say it should be closer to eight hundred million.
Speaker 2: Finance Chair Brian Stewart of Ashville said that the two
Speaker 2: twenty six is actually an increase from the amount that
Speaker 2: the school's got in twenty twenty five. Some the Democrats argue,
Speaker 2: say that's misleading. I don't know what the reality is
Speaker 2: on that one. But the reason I bring it up.
Speaker 1: Since I don't have a whole lot of details, So
Speaker 1: it's in that four thousand page omnibus. Guess what, Yeah,
Speaker 1: money for the Cleveland Browns. Lawmakers agreed to put six
Speaker 1: hundred million in bonds toward the new Browns stadium. This
Speaker 1: one of and seventy six acre mixed use project that
Speaker 1: the Haslam owners of the Browns family wants. At least
Speaker 1: according to uh Thank Morgan Scharbe believe this is WCPO
Speaker 1: news reporting, the state is going to end up paying
Speaker 1: about one billion dollars to pay off the debt over
Speaker 1: twenty five years. Browns are asking the state to borrow
Speaker 1: six hundred million for the new stadium by issuing bonds
Speaker 1: that the state would then repay. That will be you
Speaker 1: repaying with interest including increased sales tax revenues, income tax revenues,
Speaker 1: and commercial activity tax revenues from this what they call
Speaker 1: Brook Park project. The stadium total costs two point four
Speaker 1: billion dollars just just blows my mind. Cour to the team,
Speaker 1: they say half of that's going to come from private
Speaker 1: sources and the public meaning the taxpayer is going to
Speaker 1: put the rest of the bill Kuihoga County taxpayers, among others,
Speaker 1: six hundred million going to be coming from them. The
Speaker 1: remaining six hundred million dollars from this date, which means
Speaker 1: that's you and me feel good about that.
Speaker 2: Something I ran into this morning and thankfully the traffic
Speaker 2: diversion was diverting people off I seventy one south onto
Speaker 2: the Montgomery Road exit, which is the exit I take anyway.
Speaker 2: And I was wondering and puzzling while the cones were
Speaker 2: put up and the police were there. That's because a
Speaker 2: semi tractor trailer hauling forty thousand pounds of cheese overturned
Speaker 2: just south of that Montgomery Road exit, in between Montgomery
Speaker 2: and Kenwood Road. So they were routing people off Montgomery
Speaker 2: and having them reroute around to Kenwood Road and then
Speaker 2: get back on seventy one at Kenwood. No injuries reported,
Speaker 2: No cheese spilled onto the highway. Chan drove past that
Speaker 2: the high speed lane going northbound. It was the semi
Speaker 2: and the accident had intruded into the northbound lane, but
Speaker 2: he didn't stop and get cheese. Let's shut down about
Speaker 2: eleven thirty pm last evening, according to Sergeant Robert May
Speaker 2: of the Hamilton County Sheriff's Officers. So I guess it's
Speaker 2: still being cleaned up. I have no idea because I
Speaker 2: can't look out a window because I don't have one.
Speaker 2: In other local stories, a Green township man's been accused
Speaker 2: of following a senior citizen home and robbing him of
Speaker 2: his car at gunpoint, leading police on a chase. Twenty
Speaker 2: seven year old Mark Adam's now facing charges of aggravated burglary,
Speaker 2: aggravated robbery, and fleeing police. Green Township Police say Adams
Speaker 2: followed an elderly man home from a Kroger on Glenway
Speaker 2: Avenue Tuesday. When the victim parked his car in the
Speaker 2: attached garage, Adams pointed a gun at them and stole
Speaker 2: the car. Victim called nine to one one police started following.
Speaker 2: The officers said they had to stop chasing at it
Speaker 2: because he was driving recklessly and putting people's lives at risk.
Speaker 2: They later found the stolen car parked behind a house
Speaker 2: Adam's estate at Police said they also found documents with
Speaker 2: the victim's name on them inside the home. Adams now
Speaker 2: at the Hamilton County Detention Center on a three hundred
Speaker 2: thousand dollars bond. Obviously did not appear in front of
Speaker 2: Judge Silverstein. Five thirty five fifty five care see the
Speaker 2: talk station you an I have any problem?
Speaker 1: It's five forty coming up with five forty one if
Speaker 1: the five KR see the talk station five one, three, seven,
Speaker 1: four nine to fifty five hundred eight hundred two three

Speaker 1: health and most notably a lot of information about COVID nineteen.
Speaker 1: He did some real teasing with the promotion.
Speaker 2: Yesterday we was on the program talking about how they
Speaker 2: pulled VOCs off the market after reported reportedly seven thousand
Speaker 2: reported incidents of problems associated with taken that with with
Speaker 2: with with using vox and I remember that was like
Speaker 2: all the rays to deal with arthritic pain in a
Speaker 2: while a long time ago, there were thirty thousand such
Speaker 2: complaints to I guess the sea or wherever these incidents
Speaker 2: are reported regarding the COVID nineteen vaccine. Was that pulled
Speaker 2: off the market? Nope, So just one of the topics
Speaker 2: he's going to be talking about during the seminarch and
Speaker 2: I should be fascinating anyhow. Over the stack is stupid.
Speaker 2: A teenage customer was choked by a McDonald's worker after
Speaker 2: the girl walked behind the counter to take some ranch
Speaker 2: dipping sauce after not being helped by an employee. This,
Speaker 2: according to Florida Police, seventeen year old return to McDonald's
Speaker 2: lobby when a Keen Samson, thirty one years old, grabbed
Speaker 2: her arm. According to the police report, when the teen
Speaker 2: tried to break free, Sampson allegedly grabbed her neck and
Speaker 2: took her to the ground, then, according to the complaint,
Speaker 2: choked the victim again while they were on the floor.
Speaker 2: This in Saint Petersburg, Florida. As his tradition. Criminal complaint
Speaker 2: doesn't reveal how much a many ranch packages, if any,
Speaker 2: were secured after the victim crossed the McDonald's front counter threshold.
Speaker 1: I love the smoking gun.
Speaker 2: Cops responded to McDonald's on Friday afternoon, note of the
Speaker 2: victim had visible injuries to her neck and elbow, adding
Speaker 2: at the incident was all captured on video. Of course,
Speaker 2: it was Samson charged with child abuse. She was released
Speaker 2: from the county jail that Friday evening after posting a
Speaker 2: twenty five hundred dollars bond and has pleaded not guilty
Speaker 2: to the felony count. Judge ordered Samson not to have
Speaker 2: any contact with the victim and directed her to stay
Speaker 2: away from the area of the defense, which as this
Speaker 2: smooking gun accurately observes will likely impact her tenure at McDonald's.
Speaker 2: E Let us go to Wayne Kunny, Kentucky. Monticello man
Speaker 2: arrested and is facing numerous charges of the police say
Speaker 2: he was found walking naked on a highway court to
Speaker 2: the recitation. Deputies at the Wayne County Sheriff's Office responded
Speaker 2: to a report of a nude guy walking down Kentucky
Speaker 2: thirty two eighty six. There they located James K. King,
Speaker 2: who told deputies he was quote going to get some
Speaker 2: pants close quote. Officers said he appeared to be under
Speaker 2: the influence of a controlled substance and became disorderly, repeatedly
Speaker 2: kicking the door of the patrol car while being taken
Speaker 2: to jail.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, there's your.
Speaker 2: Bubbling bomber stupidity, which I will admit, Sean, is the
Speaker 2: appropriate SoundBite to play here. But you know, I know
Speaker 2: a lot of people who smoke weed, and I went
Speaker 2: to college, and while I did not personally smoke weed,
Speaker 2: I was surrounded by people who smoke weed. Not one
Speaker 2: of them ever removed their clothes and started walking down
Speaker 2: the highway. So I don't think this was a marijuana
Speaker 2: related incident. Probably not, right, King been charged with indecent
Speaker 2: exposure second degree, public intoxication, controlled substance, and disorderly conduct
Speaker 2: second degree. Also arrested on six outstanding Wayne County District
Speaker 2: Court warrants, including multiple counts of contempt of court, failure
Speaker 2: to appear, public intoxication, criminal trespassing, and possession of drug
Speaker 2: paraphernalia and again probably not a bong. Court record show
Speaker 2: King left rehab on an agreed order related to several
Speaker 2: of the underlying charges. He was taken to the Wayne
Speaker 2: County Detention Center where I'm suspecting probably still less, stick
Speaker 2: around more stupid five fifty one at fifty five per
Speaker 2: CD talk station number five karosee dot com. Bet your
Speaker 2: podcast in your iHeartMedia app. Tha can listen wherever you
Speaker 2: happen to be, like my wife is listening right now
Speaker 2: in Chicago for her.
Speaker 1: Conference.
Speaker 2: Anyway, back over to the stack of stupid, we get
Speaker 2: another naked guy. This Altuna, Pennsylvania, where a naked guy
Speaker 2: who was allegedly only wearing shoes got arrested after a
Speaker 2: mother spotted him at Memorial Spray Park and Playground. Thirty
Speaker 2: six year old Bobby Lee Nicholson Altun arrested in charge
Speaker 2: with indiescent exposure and opened lewdness after the Altuna police
Speaker 2: were called to the area. This happened at the end
Speaker 2: of March March thirty. First criminal complaint says the momb
Speaker 2: called police while she was waiting for her child to
Speaker 2: finish dance lessons that she spotted this naked guy in
Speaker 2: the playground, saying his genitals were fully exposed. When police
Speaker 2: got there, she showed him a video of the guy
Speaker 2: running away. Had a witness helped direct police to where
Speaker 2: he ran off to. Police found pants on the playground
Speaker 2: that had a wallet and ID for Nicholson in the pocket.
Speaker 2: Nicholson quickly found and detained. According to the charging documents,
Speaker 2: he was placed into a police cruiser so no one
Speaker 2: else had to look at him. Also reportedly belligerent after
Speaker 2: being put into custody and taken to the Altuna police station.
Speaker 2: Police noted that they had to physically remove the shoes
Speaker 2: from his feet, which was the only thing he was
Speaker 2: actually wearing. They also saying the charging documents that he
Speaker 2: refused to give them an address. Placed in the Blair
Speaker 2: County Prison thirty five thousand dollars bail with a hearing
Speaker 2: schedule for the sixteenth set, Wanda go drugs on that
Speaker 2: one too. Enraged therapist. Oh my god, an enraged therapist.
Speaker 2: That's next level stuff. Anyway, She got arrested after finding
Speaker 2: her daughter in bed with a naked guy. Doctor Kimberly
Speaker 2: bird Rider, fifty eight arrested on a charge of battery
Speaker 2: in her home in the community of Oxford. I don't
Speaker 2: think that's our Oxford, to be quite honest with him.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 2: Bird Writer's daughter contacted law enforcement and reported that her
Speaker 2: mother had just beat her up. This in the arrest
Speaker 2: report from the Wildwood Police Department. Described as a yoga
Speaker 2: specialist trained at Harvard University, bird Writer walked unannounced into
Speaker 2: her daughter's bedroom. That's where she found her with a
Speaker 2: man lying on the bed unclothed. Bird Writer ran at
Speaker 2: the pair, but her daughter stood up to protect her
Speaker 2: man friend. That's how he's described to the article. Bird
Speaker 2: Writer's struck her daughter in the face with an open hand.
Speaker 2: The man fled. Bird Writer was successful in kicking him
Speaker 2: prior to the quick exit, although it does not describe
Speaker 2: where she kicked him. Bird Writer told police that her
Speaker 2: daughter quote meets strange men on the internet and brings
Speaker 2: them back to their residence to have sex with them.
Speaker 2: Close quote said she doesn't know the men and is
Speaker 2: not comfortable with them staying at the residence, a position
Speaker 2: which I understand. But apparently this woman is of age.
Speaker 2: Bird Writer said she's asked her daughter several times not
Speaker 2: to bring the men into the house. Bird Writer booked
Speaker 2: into the sumter kind of detention center where she was
Speaker 2: initially held without bond. Well kick her out of the
Speaker 2: damn house. He's obviously an adult. This isn't a case
Speaker 2: that involves child molestation.
Speaker 6: UH.
Speaker 2: Minnesota woman who confessed in her personal journal that she,
Speaker 2: in her words, totally stole a car today exclamation point
Speaker 2: pleaded guilty to a felony car court a felony charge
Speaker 2: peeling the Appearing in district court, Vanessa Guerrera, thirty, copped
Speaker 2: to receiving stolen property in connection with the theft of
Speaker 2: a Ford van judge said Guerrera sentencing.
Speaker 1: Order and.
Speaker 2: They called it persistence investigation. I don't know what that
Speaker 2: is to be prepared by probation officers. Conviction carries a
Speaker 2: maximum penalty of five years in prison. Anyway, during the
Speaker 2: auto theft investigation, police determined that the stolen van worth
Speaker 2: two thousand dollars had been sold for scrap courting to
Speaker 2: the criminal complaint. Witnesses at the auto salvage business day
Speaker 2: that Guerrera brought the van in and sold it to them.
Speaker 2: Police probe investigator Andrew Conneckie was able to locate the
Speaker 2: journal belonging to Guerrera, which contained the incriminating entries. On
Speaker 2: the same day of the ford's owner discovery that the
Speaker 2: vehicle is missing. Guerrera road quote totally stole a car today,
Speaker 2: something I never thought of doing. Effings, super freaking out
Speaker 2: about it. Close quote. Guerra denied knowing that the vehicle
Speaker 2: was stolen when she was first confronted by Officer Kaneki
Speaker 2: or Sheriff KANECI, please obtain the journal from her mom,
Speaker 2: with whom Guerrera and her boyfriend had once resided. Prior
Speaker 2: to the rest. She'd been working as a door dash driver,
Speaker 2: previously convicted of theft, driving with a suspended license, driving
Speaker 2: without insurance, and was on probation when she stole the van.
Speaker 1: Idiot Yeah, five fifty six.
Speaker 2: To fifty five carers of Detalk station more to talk
Speaker 2: about in the top of the hour. After the top
Speaker 2: of the air news and of course an opportunity for
Speaker 2: you to steer the direction of the conversation. Feel free
Speaker 2: to call. I'll be right back if I think about
Speaker 2: the CD talk station. If everybody's having a happy Friday eighteenth,
Speaker 2: and let's see, here's get something really important out of
Speaker 2: the way while I'm talking and shouldn't be doing it
Speaker 2: right now. But I didn't say hello to my wife
Speaker 2: this morning. It is again in Chicago at a conference.
Speaker 2: So there's a couple of hearts showing her that I
Speaker 2: love her and telling her that I'm thinking about her.
Speaker 2: Thank you for indulging me on that. Getting out of
Speaker 2: my system while I move over to let you know.
Speaker 2: One hour from now, George Brunneman returns to the studio.
Speaker 2: He's gonna be talking about the Restored Liberty dot Us event.
Speaker 2: We talked touched on that yesterday with Americans for Prosperities
Speaker 2: Donovan O'Neil. The event is on Sunday and everybody's welcome.
Speaker 2: It's a tax event. So George of Restore Liberty dot
Speaker 2: Us at seven oh five fall by Congressman Warren David.
Speaker 2: So we certainly have a lot to talk about with him,
Speaker 2: including tariffs and Oh my god, the world was going
Speaker 2: to end up until yesterday when Donald Trump announced a
Speaker 2: ninety day pause because seventy so far seventy five countries
Speaker 2: have stepped up to tell Donald Trump and the Trump
Speaker 2: administration that they want to haggle. They're willing to sit
Speaker 2: down and negotiate better trade terms. So he said, okay,
Speaker 2: I'll pause for everybody who's willing to sit down with
Speaker 2: us and talk about it. We're gonna, you know, stop
Speaker 2: these tariffs from taking effect. China, however, went the opposite direction,
Speaker 2: so you know, they added eighty four percent tariff on
Speaker 2: US goods that are in the country after Donald Trump
Speaker 2: imposed one hundred and twenty five I don't number which
Speaker 2: back and forth, but they're going the exact opposite direction.
Speaker 2: But the market reacted quite favorably to Trump's pause and
Speaker 2: so great illustration. As I mentioned the last hour, Jim
Speaker 2: Keefer had lost a substantial amount during the sell off,
Speaker 2: and of course if you looked at your four oh
Speaker 2: one k or whatever else you had your stockholdings, you
Speaker 2: probably lost a significant amount as well. He got it
Speaker 2: all back and then some yesterday they described it as
Speaker 2: the third biggest sort market across the board market surge ever,
Speaker 2: or at least since World War two or something. But
Speaker 2: it was a massive reclaiming of the losses that had occurred, because,
Speaker 2: of course, the people are sitting down in the suggestion
Speaker 2: that we might engage in some open and free to
Speaker 2: way trade that's going to be good for everybody, so
Speaker 2: happy to see that, and again ignoring whether or not
Speaker 2: any of this is legal or within the executive powers.
Speaker 2: That's the conversation I had with Judgent in apo Altana yesterday,
Speaker 2: and you can feel free to look that up and
Speaker 2: listen to what he had to say, because it's probably
Speaker 2: not and I share his constitutional analysis of that. But
Speaker 2: this is the reality we live in. There is that
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy seven law that allows an emergency emergency authorization
Speaker 2: to use these tariffs, and that's what Trump asserted it under.
Speaker 2: And whether or not there is an actual emergency, because
Speaker 2: the fentanyl crisis was the original pretext for the Mexican
Speaker 2: Canadian increase of twenty five percent, and that apparently was
Speaker 2: interpretedly too. It was interverted too broad, and it impacted
Speaker 2: things far beyond Canada and Mexico. So he had to
Speaker 2: shift gears and claim we have an emergency which authorizes
Speaker 2: him to impose tariffs because of the trade imbalance. Well,
Speaker 2: the politano and the statistics pointed all out rightfully noted
Speaker 2: that the trade imbalance has existed since the nineteen thirty
Speaker 2: so not necessarily in an unforeseen unexpected event, which is
Speaker 2: what constituted it's an emergency. Plus, there's some question looming
Speaker 2: around there as to.
Speaker 1: Whether that that that that the executive branch can even
Speaker 1: take on a congressionally constitutionally delegated authority, which is the
Speaker 1: power of the purse spending. You exist within the powers
Speaker 1: of Congress, not the executive branch, and there's many Supreme
Speaker 1: Court presidents saying you can't pawn off this authority. So
Speaker 1: I don't think that's ever been tested in court. It
Speaker 1: may under these circumstances, But after yesterday's rebound, and if
Speaker 1: things keep going along swimmingly, there's not going to be
Speaker 1: a whole lot of I guess probably willingness to attack
Speaker 1: and go after these negotiations because they may lead to
Speaker 1: a better place for everybody. So I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: keep that in mind rather than you know, putting my
Speaker 1: constitutional and lawyer hat on and wondering whether any of
Speaker 1: this is actually legal or not, but you can rest
Speaker 1: assured at least as of yesterday, you got your money
Speaker 1: back if you didn't flee the markets. And Brian James
Speaker 1: on Money Monday would tell you never do that. Stocks
Speaker 1: go down, stocks go up, recessions happen, then they come
Speaker 1: out of them, and over time you always end up
Speaker 1: on top with long term investments.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Canada's already suggested better negotiations and new economic and
Speaker 2: security relationships. So say if Canadian Prime Minister Mark Karney,
Speaker 2: as I mentioned in the last hour, they're willing to
Speaker 2: sit down at the table to negotiate open and free trade. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Canada most also continue deep in its relationship with trading
Speaker 2: partners that share our values, including the free and open
Speaker 2: exchange of good services and ideas.
Speaker 1: Yet good.
Speaker 2: It's amazing what Trump's been able to accomplish in such
Speaker 2: a short period of time if you put things in context,
Speaker 2: and speaking of getting things done in a short period
Speaker 2: of time, I you know, related to nothing I've talked
Speaker 2: about this morning, but I thought it was a worthy
Speaker 2: exercise to talk about this exchange between Elon Musk and
Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer. Chuck, I'm starting to think you're getting a
Speaker 2: piece of the action with the government fraud. But no,
Speaker 2: that couldn't possibly be the reason, could it. That was
Speaker 2: a post he put on X earlier this week, and
Speaker 2: so Schumer had to respond to that, of course, because
Speaker 2: of course the Department of Government Efficiency has been exposing
Speaker 2: all the fraud, waste, and abuse, including social Security, and
Speaker 2: Schumer has been accusing of the Department of Governmental Efficiency
Speaker 2: of sabotaging his word social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, which
Speaker 2: is an absolute, outright lie.
Speaker 1: And I hate repeating myself on that.
Speaker 2: How does getting rid of you know, one hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty year old people off of active Social Security roles?
Speaker 2: Discovering that illegal immigrants to the tune of millions have
Speaker 2: been issued social Security numbers when they're not authorized or
Speaker 2: it's not legal for them to have them, under the
Speaker 2: circumstances that fraudulent payments have been flowing out within the
Speaker 2: Social Security Department for a long time. Medicaid obviously a
Speaker 2: lot of fraud involved in Medicaid. Millions of illegal immigrants
Speaker 2: now hooked up to the Medicaid system, which people are
Speaker 2: claiming that the Trump administration is trying to harm. If
Speaker 2: you get rid of them and take them off Medicaid
Speaker 2: because they're not eligible to be on in the first place.
Speaker 2: And you get take these folks off the rolls of
Speaker 2: taking money out of the Social Security funds, which really
Speaker 2: honestly don't exist. That's saving the system. So it's an
Speaker 2: outright lie when you say that they are trying to
Speaker 2: destroy those systems. They're doing more than any other administration
Speaker 2: prior to help save and salvage them by getting rid
Speaker 2: of well fraud. So Sumer fires back to this suggestion,
Speaker 2: sort of you know, tongue in cheek suggestion that hey,
Speaker 2: you're on the take. Could that possibly be the reason
Speaker 2: that you're against us doing what we're doing? Sumers responds,
Speaker 2: another elon lie. He wants you to think that anyone
Speaker 2: who dares to stand up to him is committing fraud.
Speaker 2: Here's the salient part. Meanwhile, he's taking tens of billions
Speaker 2: from the government. Close quote, Oh, so you went to
Speaker 2: work today and yesterday and then he passed. However long
Speaker 2: you've been in the work world paying federal taxes. He's
Speaker 2: taking tens of billions from the government because it's the
Speaker 2: government's money. In the hearts and minds of most leftists
Speaker 2: like Chuckie Schumer. Anyhow, it's an obvious lie, and you know,
Speaker 2: someone gets in your face and starts telling you that
Speaker 2: you know just well how to ask them how it
Speaker 2: is that the Trump administration or Elon Must specifically, or
Speaker 2: anybody involved in ferreting out all this crap is taking
Speaker 2: something away from you when every dollar they save that
Speaker 2: does not go out the door in fraud is actually
Speaker 2: a dollar that's going to actually go to someone who
Speaker 2: is within the legalities of Medicare, Medicaid social Security lawfully
Speaker 2: taking the money authorized to eligible for it. Meanwhile, over
Speaker 2: a socias security, the Social Security Administration announced this week
Speaker 2: that it's planning to perform an anti fraud check at
Speaker 2: least on claims filed by phone and walk back services
Speaker 2: over the phone quote beginning on April fourteenth. The agency
Speaker 2: announced on x the Social Security Administration will perform an
Speaker 2: anti fraud check on all claims filed over the telephone
Speaker 2: and flag claims that have fraud risk indicators. This after
Speaker 2: a DOGE findings of waste fraud abuse, such as non
Speaker 2: citizens getting the Social Security numbers and payments to accounts
Speaker 2: said to be one hundred two hundred and even three
Speaker 2: hundred years old. Again, how is eradicating those names off
Speaker 2: the active ranks something that's bad, unless, of course, if
Speaker 2: you believe Elon Musk's tongue and cheek comment that some
Speaker 2: of our politicians are benefiting from that. Why else would
Speaker 2: a politician reject the idea of getting rid of those
Speaker 2: active social and security numbers when these people clearly do
Speaker 2: not exist at least any longer. Don't you find something
Speaker 2: openly and obviously nefarious about that? I mean, they's so
Speaker 2: wed to the anything Trump or his administration does is
Speaker 2: bad position. That's something that they used to out loud
Speaker 2: advocate for. They're on tape, they're on video, they're on record.
Speaker 2: This campaign promises we're gonna ferret out the fraudways and
Speaker 2: bus over in the Social Security Department. But they never
Speaker 2: did anything about it. So it was okay when they
Speaker 2: said it and promised it, even though they didn't follow
Speaker 2: through on it. But now that the Trump.
Speaker 1: Administration does it, they can't even give them okay, you
Speaker 1: know what, I hate to have to agree with something
Speaker 1: Trump and his team are doing, but this is a
Speaker 1: good thing for the country. They're so wed to their
Speaker 1: anti Trump, evil orange man position that they can't even
Speaker 1: give him credit for something that should have been done
Speaker 1: a long time ago, something that should have been part
Speaker 1: of the core mission of all of these government entities
Speaker 1: to have a fiduciary obligation perspective on the dollars they
Speaker 1: have taken from you, to responsibly manage them to efficiently
Speaker 1: run their individual lettered agency. Doesn't that sound like something
Speaker 1: that's good for everybody? Isn't that it like an apolitical thing,
Speaker 1: something that lacks a partisan stripe. I mean, why can't
Speaker 1: we all embrace that concept?
Speaker 2: Well, because we'd have to give Trump credit for actually
Speaker 2: getting something done that we've been promising the American people
Speaker 2: for years. Maybe that's the reason or what started this rant.
Speaker 2: Maybe Elon Musk is onto something with his tongue in
Speaker 2: cheek comment about Schumert being on the take.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Something tells me if he's around long enough, and that
Speaker 2: team in doges around long enough, they may find the
Speaker 2: paper trail which will tell us one way or another.
Speaker 2: On the heels of that interesting comment from the White
Speaker 2: House Press Secretary and Donald Trump the prior day about
Speaker 2: this this unbelievable revelation that they found that we will
Speaker 2: soon find out about I'm waiting and waiting on that one.
Speaker 2: Maybe they've already established this paper trail. My popcorns out
Speaker 2: sixty sixteen fifty five KRCITY talk station. Feel hed to
Speaker 2: call five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred,
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty two to three talk found five
Speaker 2: fifty on AT and T phone. I am pleased to
Speaker 2: recommend to you, and so many listeners have taken me
Speaker 2: up on my recommendation ussay insulation for better comfort in
Speaker 2: your home and energy savings. Of course, energy saving is
Speaker 2: a tough thing to accomplish these days, giving the electric
Speaker 2: bills keep going up and up and up. Maybe the
Speaker 2: Trump administration will do something about that. I can't guarantee that,
Speaker 2: but what I can guarantee you is six two fifty
Speaker 2: five krc DE Talk station, get a ready to go
Speaker 2: straight to the phone.
Speaker 1: He's got a couple of callers.
Speaker 2: Online beginning with order, which they received, was said Jim, Jim,
Speaker 2: good to hear from. I mentioned your named a couple
Speaker 2: of times this morning already.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I heard that.
Speaker 7: Bryan's the reason I called in.
Speaker 1: Good morning, uh, good morning.
Speaker 7: You know, people need to just kind of settle back,
Speaker 7: if you know, talk to a financial planner or someone
Speaker 7: that handles your money or a four to one case.
Speaker 7: That's not in my case. I don't hit a four
Speaker 7: to one. But you know, this has happened before, and
Speaker 7: my guy got me off the ledge, and I kind
Speaker 7: of I knew it was going to happen, But the
Speaker 7: past couple of weeks you get a little bit anxious
Speaker 7: about when you see your your money going out the
Speaker 7: window and you wonder if it's going to come back.
Speaker 7: But I think Trump has actually come to reality that
Speaker 7: he's not God. He and he has to work with
Speaker 7: these people instead of sitting up there playing the puppet manster.
Speaker 2: Well, the people and you're referring to countries with whom
Speaker 2: we trade wanted to now work with Trump. They reached
Speaker 2: out and express a desire to do that, and so
Speaker 2: I guess it was his Treasury secretary. He said, listen, man,
Speaker 2: watch you back off the tariff. They're willing to come
Speaker 2: to the table. This is going to take a while
Speaker 2: to negotiate, so put a pause on it and let's
Speaker 2: see what happened. So he did that, and of course
Speaker 2: the markets reacted quite favorably. I mean the markets went
Speaker 2: through the roof of his record day of teff trading yesterday,
Speaker 2: and you didn't lose any money. If you didn't sell anything,
Speaker 2: you didn't lose anything. Because a financial plann would be
Speaker 2: quick to tell you that it's like what's my house worth.
Speaker 2: It's worth what it's worth the day you close, not before.
Speaker 2: You don't know what's my portfolio worth. Well, right now,
Speaker 2: at this moment in time, it's worth X, but tomorrow
Speaker 2: may be worth something less than X, and the day
Speaker 2: after maybe X plus.
Speaker 1: But it's the day you sell.
Speaker 2: It is when you know whether you had made a
Speaker 2: profit or took a loss. And that's all there is
Speaker 2: to it.
Speaker 1: Well, and the.
Speaker 7: People that got freaked out and took their money out
Speaker 7: right away or in the past couple of weeks, I
Speaker 7: know they're sorry they did it. But you know what
Speaker 7: you do now is you sit back and wait for
Speaker 7: about sixty to seventy seventy five eighty days, and then
Speaker 7: when that ninety day ringing the bell is going to
Speaker 7: come up, then you do make some kind of an
Speaker 7: action because if you take it out now, you got
Speaker 7: losses and they're not they're not coming back.
Speaker 2: I mean, why you don't sew that's why you don't
Speaker 2: sew when the market drops like it did exactly. I mean,
Speaker 2: no one wants to see that happen. It does cause
Speaker 2: anxiety and concerns. But you know, there's a lot of
Speaker 2: market volatility these days, especially the way the stocks are
Speaker 2: traded with artificial intelligence factoring into it, and you got
Speaker 2: all these instantaneous transactions done by computers stuff. It's not
Speaker 2: like the old days where you had to call up
Speaker 2: your broker and people looked at actual things that are important,
Speaker 2: like pe ratios. Sometimes people just trade on a whim,
Speaker 2: you know, meme stocks and things like that. It's a
Speaker 2: crazy thing out there. That's why I'm not involved with
Speaker 2: financial planning. I don't think about it. I never look
Speaker 2: at my four to one K until I have my
Speaker 2: sort of semi annual meeting with my financial planner and
Speaker 2: get a lay of the landscape. So that's why I
Speaker 2: don't get anxiety because I don't look. I don't know
Speaker 2: how much I lost two days ago, and I'm sure
Speaker 2: it was a good chunk. But I feel pretty confident,
Speaker 2: like you, Jim, that you made it all back yesterday.
Speaker 2: What's gonna happen today? Don't know, Dot Dallas Trading. Look
Speaker 2: at futures are down point smps down point one point
Speaker 2: four NASDAK futures one point six down. So we might
Speaker 2: lose a little bit of today. What will happen the
Speaker 2: next day, God only knows. Pat, hang on, I'll take
Speaker 2: your call in a minute, I'd say, already out of time.
Speaker 2: Here at six twenty six to fifty five KR City
Speaker 2: Talk Station. If one called six thirty two fifty five
Speaker 2: CAR CIT DE Talk station five one three seven four
Speaker 2: nine fifty five hundred eight hundred DY two three, you
Speaker 2: talk Brian Thomas here inviting me to call like Pat did. Pat,
Speaker 2: thanks for calling this morning. Welcome on the morning show.
Speaker 6: Oh thank you, Brian.
Speaker 7: I'm embarrassed it's Cole Raine involved in this voting today.
Speaker 1: No city of Cincinnati, Okay, well I can't actually I
Speaker 1: can't speak to anything outside of the City of Cincinnati
Speaker 1: because I've been focused on Corey Bowman and the primary.
Speaker 1: But early voting started, and that it's one of the
Speaker 1: things I brought up earlier because Westside Jim Keeper was
Speaker 1: already disappointed in the numbers of people who have voted early.
Speaker 1: It's only one hundred and fifty six as of yesterday afternoon,
Speaker 1: so it's easy to do. Hammon Kenny Bard of Elections
Speaker 1: has all the information posted on the website, which is
Speaker 1: vote Hamilton Countyohio dot gov, so you can probably find
Speaker 1: out the answer to your question right there. I'd vote
Speaker 1: Hamilton County, Ohio dot gov.
Speaker 6: So okay, sure thingk Pat, you have a great day.
Speaker 2: Thanks for calling six thirty comingup with six thirty three. Yeah,
Speaker 2: southbound seventy one. I don't know if they cleaned it
Speaker 2: up yet, but a semi tractor trailer hauling forty pounds
Speaker 2: of cheese flipped over the southbound lane. Happened overnight about
Speaker 2: eleven thirty last evening, and it was closed as of
Speaker 2: this morning. When I was pulling in to the Montgomery
Speaker 2: Road exit, and thankfully that's where they were diverting people,
Speaker 2: so I got diverted right off or where I normally
Speaker 2: divert anyway, moving people down to Kenwood and then Kenwood
Speaker 2: back on to seventy one. So they're cleaning it up.
Speaker 2: Wreckord was on the scene and my producer for Today
Speaker 2: Covin for Joe Strekker, Sean McMahon said he drove past
Speaker 2: the coming northbound the northbound lanes were closed because most
Speaker 2: of some of the wreck had, you know, crossed over
Speaker 2: the dividing strip Therehile House passed the budget and you're
Speaker 2: not going to be happy about it. Ignoring everything else,
Speaker 2: Let's focus on stupid six hundred million dollars from for
Speaker 2: bonds for the grand and glorious mega complex for the
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns. While makers agreed to put six hundred million
Speaker 2: in bonds toward the new Brown Stadium, a one hundred
Speaker 2: and seventy six acre mixed use project filled with stuff
Speaker 2: and things, they asked the state to borrow six hundred
Speaker 2: million for the new stadium by issuing bonds debt the
Speaker 2: state would then repay with interest using increased sales tax revenues,
Speaker 2: income tax revenues, and commercial activity tax revenues from the
Speaker 2: entire Brook Park project. Taxpayers basically on the hook for that.
Speaker 2: They say it would cost the state one billion dollars
Speaker 2: to pay off that debt over twenty five years. Stadium
Speaker 2: cost two point four billion. Every time I read that,
Speaker 2: it just puts bile up in my throat. Half of
Speaker 2: it from private sources, they claim, the public footing the
Speaker 2: rest of the bill six hundred million coming from local
Speaker 2: governments like Cuyahoga County taxpayers. So they're going to feel
Speaker 2: the sting that Hamilton County taxpayers did with the Paul
Speaker 2: at the formerly known Paul Brown Stadium, and then the
Speaker 2: remaining six hundred million coming from the state.
Speaker 5: Why don't vote Democrat.
Speaker 2: Well they're you know that might apply normally, but you know,
Speaker 2: this was the vote on this budget package, sixty to
Speaker 2: thirty nine, five Republicans voting against it. So the vast
Speaker 2: majority of this is coming from Republicans which run Columbus.
Speaker 2: It is a deep, deep, deep red state. Sean, Okay,
Speaker 2: I give you a pass on that. See I could
Speaker 2: correct the record. Gave me an opportunity to remind me
Speaker 2: folks that Republicans do stupid things as well. Six thirty five.
Speaker 2: If you have Karcite talk station, maybe feel differently about
Speaker 2: that one. You're not going to change my mind on
Speaker 2: taxpayer funded stadiums. Six forty one fifty about kars De
Speaker 2: talk station.
Speaker 1: See, I don't know everything. That's why I rely on
Speaker 1: smart people.
Speaker 2: In this particular case, George Brenneman is going to be
Speaker 2: in studio off the top of the R News. We
Speaker 2: got a whole bunch of different topics to talk about,
Speaker 2: including the event on Sunday, So it's not just that
Speaker 2: issue too. Based on Pat's call, Issue two is on
Speaker 2: the bile for the entire state of ohiouse everybody. Hamilton
Speaker 2: kind of needs to get out there and vote, and
Speaker 2: he says vote no on issue too, So we'll talk
Speaker 2: about issue too when he comes into studio after the
Speaker 2: top of the R News. So there is the correct
Speaker 2: answer to the question posed by Pat and apologies, I
Speaker 2: didn't have that in the forefront of my mind. But
Speaker 2: then again, you know, I got limited random access memory
Speaker 2: going on up there, and the older I get, the
Speaker 2: less space there is in there. It's like when you
Speaker 2: choose to commit to something to memory, you've got to
Speaker 2: like throw something out that's in your hard drive. I've
Speaker 2: I think this is kind of way my life goes. Anyway,
Speaker 2: I'll read this real quick here because if you weren't
Speaker 2: listening this morning, in the five o'clock hour, we heard
Speaker 2: from Curbage Mike my submarine, her friend who is very
Speaker 2: very much involved in Honor Fly Try State. Dianne Benicki,
Speaker 2: the ambassador for Honor Fly Try State, issued this to everyone.
Speaker 2: She just quick note to say thanks to all to
Speaker 2: made the trip out to CVG for the all caps
Speaker 2: best welcome home ever, which is kind of the way
Speaker 2: Mike described it. The ambassadors and the sales tables scattered throughout.
Speaker 2: We're able to answer questions. Thanks to the Essaar and
Speaker 2: Dar and others who made up the color guard. Thanks
Speaker 2: to the Hibernians and the Emerald Society pipes and drums
Speaker 2: who so wonderfully led the parade. Thanks to the staff
Speaker 2: at CVG for loading as part of their space for
Speaker 2: the celebration. And a heartfelt thank you to those who
Speaker 2: gave handshakes and kisses to those veterans returning from the
Speaker 2: trip of a lifetime. Most of these returning last evening
Speaker 2: did not receive this kind of welcome upon the return
Speaker 2: from duty. And of course she's referred to the Vietnam vetters,
Speaker 2: which made up the mass of the majority of those there.
Speaker 2: She writes, I saw a great deal of emotion in
Speaker 2: the eyes as well as amazement at the size of
Speaker 2: the crowd. Thanks again, remember we do this again. Put
Speaker 2: it on your calend Wednesday, May twenty first. Hope to
Speaker 2: see you then. It is a wonderful event to attend
Speaker 2: the return home celebration. So thanks to everybody, he was
Speaker 2: able to make it. And I got a big chuckle
Speaker 2: out of this. I guess this masa make America's showers
Speaker 2: great again. Donald Trump did another executive order yesterday repealing
Speaker 2: a ruling by the prior administration and the Obama administration
Speaker 2: restricting water flow from shower heads. Back in twenty twenty one,
Speaker 2: the Department of Energy under Biden reversed a Trump era
Speaker 2: rule that had removed the Obama administration's limitations on the
Speaker 2: flow of water from your shower head at two point
Speaker 2: five gallons per minute. So one administration, you know, screws
Speaker 2: you over, and another one comes in and gives you
Speaker 2: the freedom to choose, and then, of course the following administration,
Speaker 2: under a different political persuasion, takes the right to choose
Speaker 2: away from you. And in terms of shower head, I
Speaker 2: would much prefer a higher flowing shower head. And that's
Speaker 2: kind of how I got a chuckle out of this article,
Speaker 2: because apparently Donald Trump likes it too. So yesterday in
Speaker 2: the Oval Office, Trump recented the Biden air's standards and
Speaker 2: said this, he's so goofy. Sometimes in my case, I
Speaker 2: like to take a nice shower to take care of
Speaker 2: my beautiful hair, I have to stand under the shower
Speaker 2: for fifteen minutes until it gets wet. It comes out, drip, drip, drip.
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. And he'd made prior statements to that effect before,
Speaker 2: but apparently in connection with this executive order, they called
Speaker 2: how and they called out how much legal ease was
Speaker 2: used to define, you know, a showerhead, saying the Biden
Speaker 2: administration was a The Biden definition was a staggering thirteen
Speaker 2: thousand words the Oxford English Dictionary, by contrast, to find
Speaker 2: showerhead in one short sentence. So the order apparently impacted
Speaker 2: other limitations done by the Obama and Biden administrations for
Speaker 2: everyday utilities such as gas stoves, water heaters, washing machines, furnishes,
Speaker 2: and dishwashers, noting that this administration will aim to end
Speaker 2: quote Biden's dumb war on things that work. Close quote
Speaker 2: amen to that, listen. I'm all about choice. If there's
Speaker 2: a more efficient product out there and it's available, fine,
Speaker 2: but don't take away ones that work from us. Quite often,
Speaker 2: they these so called more efficient products cost you a
Speaker 2: lot more money to acquire, and this is another illustration
Speaker 2: of you know, who's the fascist, the government that's telling
Speaker 2: a manufacturer they must limit their product to do x,
Speaker 2: Y or z and it may not exceed some random
Speaker 2: arbitrary figure like two point five gallons per minute. Where
Speaker 2: did that come from? Why isn't a two point eight
Speaker 2: or two point one? I don't know. Oh, I'm sure
Speaker 2: they've got statistics that you and I paid for some
Speaker 2: random government study to say two point five is about
Speaker 2: all the people can tolerate. But offering one that uses
Speaker 2: less water, you can market that saying, you know, if
Speaker 2: your water bill is really high, why don't you choose
Speaker 2: one of these lower flowing shower heads or do what
Speaker 2: the vast majority of us do. There's that little restrict
Speaker 2: in there, that piece of plastic that's about, I don't know,
Speaker 2: a quarter inch wide. You stick a little knife or
Speaker 2: a pin or something in there, and you pop that
Speaker 2: guy out, and you magically turn a two point five
Speaker 2: gallon per minuted shower head into something that actually works.
Speaker 1: There is a workaround, but.
Speaker 2: Taking away the option of cooking with natural gas, for example,
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what works the best. I've been cooking
Speaker 2: with gas pretty much my entire life. My mom had
Speaker 2: an electric stove and it sucked, and she'd tell you
Speaker 2: the same thing. Restaurants use gas. It's immediately changeable temperature wise,
Speaker 2: it's really it works wonderfully. And how many emissions you
Speaker 2: think are put up by such a simple stove? And
Speaker 2: don't believe your home is being polluted by your gas stove.
Speaker 2: I mean, I got a blower right above mind that
Speaker 2: pulls all that out of the house. But even if
Speaker 2: you don't have one, the amount of pollutants that come
Speaker 2: out of it are very, very minimal. And of course
Speaker 2: people aren't dropping dead left and right because you use
Speaker 2: a gas stove. But that's just one cliance among many
Speaker 2: trying to take away your furnace from you, trying to
Speaker 2: take away you'r hot or your hot water heater from you,
Speaker 2: micromanaging industry and limiting the American people's choice in the
Speaker 2: name of some religion out there that many people don't
Speaker 2: believe in, including me. Offer it as a choice, let
Speaker 2: the consumer decide, much in the same way I argue
Speaker 2: about electric vehicles. Some people love them, some people don't.
Speaker 2: Let us choose and let the market forces decide. It's
Speaker 2: been a successful mechanism and a successful concept for almost
Speaker 2: as long as our country has been around, well up
Speaker 2: until the last couple of administrations. Anyway, six forty eight
Speaker 2: fifty five ker CD talk station, a forty six fifty
Speaker 2: three to fifty five pair CD talk station, and a
Speaker 2: very happy what a Friday eve to you?
Speaker 1: Kimber? Which date it is? George TETs because my wife's
Speaker 1: out of town.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: George Runneman in the studio restored Liberity dot us with
Speaker 2: a whole host of topics to talk about, including issue too.
Speaker 1: I just got the ballot language.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: It offers a.
Speaker 2: Two point five billion dollars in general obligation bond. This
Speaker 2: is the State of Ohio limited as two hundred fifty
Speaker 2: million dollars per year over ten years to fund the
Speaker 2: state capital improvements program via the Ohio Public Works Commission. Anyway,
Speaker 2: the cord to the Hio Public Works Commission, fifty six
Speaker 2: point seven percent of this bond money borrowed money that
Speaker 2: will have to pay interest on.
Speaker 1: We'll go to roads, and I gotta stop right there.
Speaker 2: But some of it's gonna go to water supply, some
Speaker 2: to wastewater management, some for bridges and culverts, and a
Speaker 2: tiny amount for storm routed utilities. But I thought we
Speaker 2: paid tax on gasoline to fund the roads. And I thought,
Speaker 2: you know, municipalities charged taxing the like for the game.
Speaker 2: But the gamp of the City of Cincinnati supposed to
Speaker 2: be taking care of roads and it doesn't. So we're
Speaker 2: supposed to allow the state to borrow two point five
Speaker 2: billion dollars to further fund something that's supposed to have
Speaker 2: already been funded. I'm sorry, I gotta go a hard
Speaker 2: no on that one. And well, I know George Runham
Speaker 2: has already told me to say vote no on issue too,
Speaker 2: but I take him at his word. But you know,
Speaker 2: having read the language, which you can find yourself. Just
Speaker 2: search Ohio Issue to twenty twenty five in your search
Speaker 2: engine and you two can read the lange, we'd and
Speaker 2: jar your own conclusions about that. I haven't seen the
Speaker 2: arguments for or against, but you know, I thought roads
Speaker 2: were supposed to have been paid for.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 2: More with George Brennman, followed by Congressman Warren Davidson. Congressman
Speaker 2: Davidson returns to the program at seven forty. We're gonna
Speaker 2: hear from Brian Rensinger about his book land Ridge Cash Poor,
Speaker 2: My Family's Hope and the Untold History of the Disappearing
Speaker 2: American Farmer. He'll join the program in ETO five and
Speaker 2: then we get to hear from iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay
Speaker 2: Ratliffe every Thursday at eight thirty. An enjoyable conversation it
Speaker 2: always is, so.
Speaker 1: Don't go away.
Speaker 2: George Brenneman on a whole host of issues coming up
Speaker 2: after the top of the our News seven oh five
Speaker 2: the fifty bove kre CD talk station, A very Happy
Speaker 2: Friday Eve to you. Congressman Warren Davison coming up at
Speaker 2: seven forty. We'll hear in one hour Brian and Resider
Speaker 2: with his book Rich Cash for My Family's Hope and
Speaker 2: The Untold History of the Disappearing American Farmer and Jay Ratliffe.
Speaker 2: I heard d aviation extper Day thirty, but as promised
Speaker 2: in studio from Restore Liberty dot Us, you should really
Speaker 2: check out what's going on there. George Brunneman. It's always
Speaker 2: a pleasure of seeing you in person and talking with you.
Speaker 1: I see again Brian, Well.
Speaker 2: Since it came up and you're the one that I'd
Speaker 2: forgotten all that issue too, it's made me a stealth
Speaker 2: issue that's exactly nobody's talking about it, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: what the hell is issued too? And I feel embarrassed
Speaker 2: because of course it's an issue that's on the ballot.
Speaker 2: Early voting has already started. It's not just City of Cincinnati,
Speaker 2: which I've been focusing on because you know, Corey Bowmen's
Speaker 2: been on the program, you know, like what freshing alternative
Speaker 2: to the current you know, Democrat runs city with all
Speaker 2: the problems and all the issues, and so issue too
Speaker 2: flew completely under my radar, to my embarrassment. But I'm
Speaker 2: happy to admit that, yeah, even I don't know everything
Speaker 2: that's going on, but a statewide issue, and it's a
Speaker 2: two point five billion dollar general obligation bond basically for infrastructure,
Speaker 2: including fifty six point seven percent of it apparently directed
Speaker 2: to roads.
Speaker 1: Well, they do the infrastructure stuff because they know it's
Speaker 1: easy to pass that. It's like doing a library levee
Speaker 1: or a child's you know, health levee or something. It's
Speaker 1: one of those things that they know will pass. But
Speaker 1: in this case they're actually putting it into the Ohio Constitution. Again,
Speaker 1: like you know, it seems anymore they can't get the
Speaker 1: legislature to do what they want, so they they stick
Speaker 1: it in the constitution. But it's basically like you say,
Speaker 1: billions of dollars in a slush fund. So it's a
Speaker 1: bond saying we're going to have this bond out there
Speaker 1: that they can use whenever they want for whatever projects
Speaker 1: they want, as long as it fits in that you know,
Speaker 1: infrastructure category. But bonds are basically future taxes. So if
Speaker 1: you're going to have this two point five billion dollar bond,
Speaker 1: it means at some point we're going to pay ten
Speaker 1: x that because it's a loan and you got interest
Speaker 1: rates and they're sky high now. So I mean, not
Speaker 1: only is it the wrong time to be taken a
Speaker 1: loan because of the instru it's just learn how to
Speaker 1: spend within your budget money well, and if.
Speaker 2: You need money for the roads, you know, again going
Speaker 2: back to inaction within the legislative branch. And of course
Speaker 2: we can see that in Washington, DC literally every day
Speaker 2: of the week over the past how many decades, right,
Speaker 2: But I think a more appropriate response to that would
Speaker 2: be a gasoline tax. I'm sorry, they just passed what
Speaker 2: two years ago by Billy Sites got us that one.
Speaker 1: It was right another thirty cents or something, and people
Speaker 1: got upset about that, and I understand being upset about that.
Speaker 1: But if you're driving a car, you're using the roads.
Speaker 1: Except if you're driving a Tesla Evil Teslas, you're not
Speaker 1: paying a gasoline tax. Maybe there should be an EV
Speaker 1: tax since they weighed so much more than other automobiles.
Speaker 1: They actually did that too, I forgot, did they. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so my hybrids, my cars are both hybrids, and so
Speaker 1: I got an extra I think it's like seventy five
Speaker 1: fifty bucks or something like that that I have to
Speaker 1: pay for my license plates because I don't use enough gas. Okay,
Speaker 1: Well to me, that's fair. You use the roads, pay
Speaker 1: for the wear and tear on the roads. Okay, but
Speaker 1: I live on the West Side, so like, like Corey
Speaker 1: likes to say, his speech is, we don't need speed bumps,
Speaker 1: we got potholes.
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 2: Oh god, sunset here, I can bring that up right
Speaker 2: out of the gate. It's like it's like bringing up
Speaker 2: the streetcar when with five friends from the Taxpayer Protection
Speaker 2: Alliance are on the program.
Speaker 1: Anyhow. But so, yeah, there's issue two on the ballot.
Speaker 1: It's the only thing on the ballot. I think your
Speaker 1: color was from Cole Rain. So that's the only thing
Speaker 1: on the Cole Rain ballot. Okay, I think it's the
Speaker 1: only thing on most of them.
Speaker 2: But as Jim Keifer pointed out, as of yesterday, I
Speaker 2: suppose at the end of the day only one hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty six people had early voted. So was this
Speaker 2: about initiative that got issue too on the ballot?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Okay, I do not think so.
Speaker 1: So the slush fund is a desire from our elected
Speaker 1: officials in Columbus or some lobbyist firm that got had
Speaker 1: put on there. All right, that's the way Columbus tends
Speaker 1: to work. Well, I would go no, cause again, infrastructure
Speaker 1: more money. It's just a lot of extra money and
Speaker 1: it could go literally anywhere, and probably we'll be directed
Speaker 1: to well connected developers and contractors. Absolutely absolutely, all right, Well,
Speaker 1: we had a Donovan and Neil for Americans for Prosperity.
Speaker 1: Who's teaming up with you for the Sunday event? Yes,
Speaker 1: the Restore Liberty US Sunday event at Double Tree Suite's
Speaker 1: Blue Ash sixty three hundred East Kemper Road.
Speaker 2: Doors open at four point thirty. A complimentary good word
Speaker 2: for that, because it's a dinner buffet, complimentary dinner buffet
Speaker 2: at five pm with speakers starting out at six. Again,
Speaker 2: remind my listeners what the point of this Sunday event is.
Speaker 2: So it started out as a tax day rally. You
Speaker 2: remember in the good old tea party days, we used
Speaker 2: to have us all the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The last one was actually in twenty twelve when
Speaker 1: I was president. Since a tea party Dan Regan Old
Speaker 1: and I did we demand a balanced budget amendment on
Speaker 1: Fountain Square in twenty twelve. We haven't had anything like
Speaker 1: that since, and so that's kind of where it started.
Speaker 1: But then the more we thought about it, the idea
Speaker 1: is we're living in a really unique time now where
Speaker 1: we have an actual chance to cut spending. We got
Speaker 1: Doze out there finding all of this ridiculous amounts of spending.
Speaker 1: You know, computer systems that don't talk to each other,
Speaker 1: and therefore we got millions of migrants on our Social Security, Medicare,
Speaker 1: and Medicaid. It's like, this is ridiculous. So the focus
Speaker 1: is going to be on the on the spending side
Speaker 1: of it. So why are we spending so much? How
Speaker 1: do we make these permanent and how do we push
Speaker 1: it down to the local level. You know, the state
Speaker 1: budget increased twenty percent. What the heck are they thinking
Speaker 1: other than I've heard part of that is the cask
Speaker 1: thank you of expanded Medicare, and now the federals aren't
Speaker 1: kicking in everything, so we have to pay that of
Speaker 1: Medicare and Medicaid, Medicaid Medicaid Medicare you pay for Medicaid,
Speaker 1: you get exactly. But and it was all funded by
Speaker 1: the federal government, so that made it a okay, like
Speaker 1: ninety percent covered by the federal government. But I remember
Speaker 1: arguing against that, saying that this day was coming that
Speaker 1: they were going to take that funding away.
Speaker 2: And now it's our problem to foot that bill right,
Speaker 2: and no work obligation. We have people who are able bodied,
Speaker 2: young people who are taking from you know, those who
Speaker 2: really qualify for assistance under Medicaid, so draining the resources
Speaker 2: and dollars from that. When there are job opportunities out there,
Speaker 2: I mean, the trades alone you can earn while you learn,
Speaker 2: have gainful employment and a career that will pay you
Speaker 2: quite quite well. Yes, I mean, you know, embrace the trades.
Speaker 2: You know, be an electrician, become a plumber, you contrary
Speaker 2: construction work. There are literally thousands of jobs available out there,
Speaker 2: and it's an interesting skill. I mean there's a difference between,
Speaker 2: you know, sitting in a desk using your brain all
Speaker 2: day and sitting at a job site using your hands
Speaker 2: and arms. I find both of them fulfilling. I don't
Speaker 2: know why they treat one differently than the other either.
Speaker 2: Of course, I grew up with a dad that you know,
Speaker 2: was a handyman. Did everything I didn't. I suggested, joke,
Speaker 2: black electrical tape or WD forty. If either of those
Speaker 2: didn't fix it, Dad, that would hire somebody out. And
Speaker 2: you know, necessity is the mother of invention. So when
Speaker 2: my wife and I bought our first house, we lived
Speaker 2: in oak Park, just outside of Chicago. While I was
Speaker 2: practicing up there, the house was one hundred and twenty
Speaker 2: five years old and it had been mostly updated by
Speaker 2: the prior owners. For that twenty percent that still need
Speaker 2: to work. That was before the internet. I would go
Speaker 2: to the library and I'd get a book on electrician
Speaker 2: you know really, yeah, I ran wire. I did hardwood
Speaker 2: floor work either. I even did plaster and lathe work.
Speaker 2: I had all kinds of woodworking projects and you know,
Speaker 2: I learned a lot because, you know, I didn't have
Speaker 2: a lot of extra money to hire somebody out to
Speaker 2: do it, and it's expensive to hire a contractor in Chicago.
Speaker 2: You think it's bad now here, Lord Almighty. You know,
Speaker 2: it's just was like, well, honey, we're either going to
Speaker 2: put that one off or I'm gonna have to.
Speaker 1: Learn how to do how to do it, and it
Speaker 1: was fun. Well, YouTube nowadays is the easiest, and I
Speaker 1: wish I had YouTube back then. It really would have
Speaker 1: streamlined the process. Oh golly. Yeah. So, I mean, so
Speaker 1: it's getting back to the event that the idea was,
Speaker 1: we really wanted to emphasize what can happen now because
Speaker 1: it's such a unique time. Yeah. So we've got Corey
Speaker 1: Bowman's gonna be there talking about what his plans are
Speaker 1: for City of Cincinnati to get the budget under control.
Speaker 1: We got Adam Matthews Rodney Creech coming in from Columbus. Uh,
Speaker 1: Columbus is a big deal right now? Is income tax?
Speaker 1: Getting rid of the income tax? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Uh promise he wants to do that, and I had
Speaker 2: a conversation with him here. He's going to be at
Speaker 2: the Warren Kenny Lincoln Reagan Dinner tonight and I'm speaking
Speaker 2: there and.
Speaker 1: Oh you can be there as well. I'll see you there.
Speaker 1: Oh good, good, good. Yeah, they changed the shuffle.
Speaker 2: We shuffled who's doing what, and apparently I get to
Speaker 2: introduce VVK, which is a real honor and privilege, because
Speaker 2: I've had a tremendous matter respect from that guy since
Speaker 2: I interviewed when he out as a Woke Incorporated.
Speaker 1: Book same here. So I did a podcast with him
Speaker 1: real early on in that process, and I was just amazed.
Speaker 1: That guy is one of the smartest people I've ever
Speaker 1: met ever, and he's so enthusiastic and excited. I mean
Speaker 1: you can hear it in his voice. Oh yeah, about
Speaker 1: the future for all time, and his brain goes into overdrive.
Speaker 1: We started off the podcast with the joke that he's
Speaker 1: the valedictorian to Saint X. I'm a valed victorian from
Speaker 1: from Elder High School. I had to get my little
Speaker 1: digs in there. But every time we talk it he
Speaker 1: outranks you. No offense to my west side further out
Speaker 1: or that was a joke, But we actually got news
Speaker 1: yesterday that Vivek is going to be sending us a
Speaker 1: video message for the for the thing tomorrow, as is
Speaker 1: Bernie Marino to I mean Sunday Sunday. Sorry, Sunday Sunday.
Speaker 1: So if you come to the if you come to
Speaker 1: the Double Tree, you'll hear from Bernie Marino, you'll hear
Speaker 1: from Viveake. We're still trying to get Warren Davidson to
Speaker 1: send us something, but we'll give him a shout out
Speaker 1: when he's on here. Coming up on the program at
Speaker 1: seven forty this morning. Cool. But then we also have
Speaker 1: Mark Pokita. Have you ever interviewed Mark. He's with the
Speaker 1: Grassroots Freedom Initiative. He's going to give us sort of
Speaker 1: the facts on what's going on fiscal wise in Ohio.
Speaker 1: So he's going to talk a little bit about issue too.
Speaker 1: He's going to talk about the new budget, what they're
Speaker 1: doing with property taxes versus income taxes. So it should
Speaker 1: be a you know, a fairly eclectic presentation.
Speaker 2: And I saw they just passed the budget in Columbus. Yeah,
Speaker 2: four thousand pages, sixty sixty to thirty something.
Speaker 1: With only five Republicans win against it. Yeah. Oh, you're
Speaker 1: so happy to see six hundred million dollars going to
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. Yeah, and that's kind of what the
Speaker 1: problem is locally. I don't trust any of our current
Speaker 1: commissioners to negotiate with the Bengals. It's just going to
Speaker 1: get out of control, you know, back in the days
Speaker 1: when they negotiated the original and that's now in the
Speaker 1: textbooks as the example of the worst public private ever. Well,
Speaker 1: it's because both people negotiating were sitting on the same
Speaker 1: side of the.
Speaker 2: Table and we at least a week later, right, Yeah, anyhow,
Speaker 2: let's pause. We bring George Runner from Restore Liberty dot
Speaker 2: Us back to talk about some more issues. After I
Speaker 2: mentioned seven fifty five KRCD talk station check it all out,
Speaker 2: Restore Liberty dot Us. George Renman's on the job, you know,
Speaker 2: looking out for our money and government fraud ways abused
Speaker 2: in action and things we can do about it. And
Speaker 2: of course show up at the event this weekend on Saturday,
Speaker 2: that's Sunday, Sunday rather Palm Sunday. Was just getting ready
Speaker 2: to say that's why I can't either. Mom's having a
Speaker 2: radio for dinner, looking forward to that. Double Tree Suites,
Speaker 2: Blue ash doors open at four thirty. Complimentary buffet dinner
Speaker 2: five o'clock speakers at six, So nice opportunity to hear
Speaker 2: all the folks that he already went through.

Speaker 1: only like twenty five seats left. Oh, so go to
Speaker 1: restoreliberty dot us and just click on the reserve or
Speaker 1: just go to restore liberty dot us slash reserve more
Speaker 1: point important point.
Speaker 2: So spaces are limited. I just want to get your reaction.
Speaker 2: You probably saw the survey out that you know, like
Speaker 2: fifty five percent of the Democrats left leaners at least
Speaker 2: embrace on some level the concept of assassinating Donald Trump
Speaker 2: and Elon Musk, and I just use that as sort
Speaker 2: of a springboard for this. The tolerance for an advocacy
Speaker 2: for violence coming from the left, it seems it's a
Speaker 2: profound problem. And I've never experienced this kind of thing
Speaker 2: in my lifetime. Although I guess I live through the
Speaker 2: late sixties without being ware of the politically, I wasn't
Speaker 2: old enough to understand what was going on. So it's
Speaker 2: not a violence isn't a new phenomenon. But all of this,
Speaker 2: you know, attacking people's car, you know, I mean these
Speaker 2: the Tesla's were like the darling of the green folks,
Speaker 2: the zero missions, unbelievably efficient and and amazing electronic wonders.
Speaker 1: They are.
Speaker 2: You own some hybrids, and I got a friend of
Speaker 2: mine who owns one of those Tesla plaids.
Speaker 1: It's a rocket ship. It is a racket.
Speaker 2: Loves it so good, make the choice and buy one.
Speaker 2: But now that he's got that, which he bought way
Speaker 2: in advance of Elon Musk and doge in his affiliation
Speaker 2: with the Trump administration, what it's a legitimate target.
Speaker 1: Now, I don't understand it. It's like they're they're allowed
Speaker 1: to become unglued over the fact that this guy is
Speaker 1: getting rid of waste. I it's it's it's a mental illness.
Speaker 1: That's the only way to think about it. If you
Speaker 1: think of it as some kind of they're making a
Speaker 1: conscious decision to do it. Why wouldn't anybody get so
Speaker 1: violent over our vehicle that, like you say, I mean,
Speaker 1: the reasoning he's the largest car company in the world
Speaker 1: now is because he makes the best version of that product.
Speaker 1: Right in my engineering world, my last gig was actually
Speaker 1: modeling every electric car made in the world, and nobody
Speaker 1: can touch the efficiency of a Tesla the guy is
Speaker 1: just so far out there, and you watch what his
Speaker 1: team is doing. He's brought in these whiz kids and
Speaker 1: the nerds have just been let loose, and they're finding
Speaker 1: all these you know, just crazy connections and lack of connections,
Speaker 1: all of this you know, fraud, waste and abuse. And
Speaker 1: suddenly he is ground zero four. He's a Nazis. He's
Speaker 1: stealing your money. It's like, I don't understand it. And
Speaker 1: my main concern is, you know, especially Schumer, they're going
Speaker 1: out there lying about everything. Hey, he's lying, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean literally lying.
Speaker 2: He's telling him that Elon Musk wants to take away
Speaker 2: your your Medicare and Social Security and Medicaid.
Speaker 1: That's an outright lie. It's specifically not being touched. And
Speaker 1: so if the only thing that's being touched is saving
Speaker 1: money for people who are qualified to receive benefits under
Speaker 1: these programs, because they're getting rid of people who are
Speaker 1: ripping them off, so now they can afford to actually
Speaker 1: give the check for Social Security and medicare a little
Speaker 1: bit crazy, anticipated yeah, but what happens when even the
Speaker 1: lies aren't working Because they aren't people are seeing what's
Speaker 1: going on and saying, wait, a minute, he's talking about
Speaker 1: social security. I haven't heard a word about that. He's
Speaker 1: got to be lying. So if the lies don't work,
Speaker 1: are they really going to keep going down this route
Speaker 1: of we need to kill Trump, we need to kill Musk,
Speaker 1: we need to go after and attack his business so
Speaker 1: he's bankrupt. I think that's a horrible path. And if
Speaker 1: you think back to the summer of twenty twenty and
Speaker 1: all of the violence that happened then compared to January sixth,
Speaker 1: which is always the you know what about that? January
Speaker 1: six was a was a show. I mean, they had
Speaker 1: so many plants in there that this was just a show.
Speaker 2: And even beyond that conspiracy component of it, you know
Speaker 2: that it was coordinated, egged on by and leftists or
Speaker 2: the FBI or whoever, evil forces that want to make
Speaker 2: the Republicans look bad, and it worked. I we were
Speaker 2: screaming at the time. I've said it many times. I'm
Speaker 2: watching it all on FULLD on my laptop, screaming that
Speaker 2: I'm going no. But that's your reaction, that's the whole point.
Speaker 2: Republicans looked at that and said that's wrong. Democrats look
Speaker 2: at what happened in twenty twenty and what's happening now
Speaker 2: with the cars that are saying no, that's that's an
Speaker 2: actual reaction to the current problem. We should be destroying
Speaker 2: Tesla's right. And you also notice that January sixth was
Speaker 2: one day, one day and a couple hours. Actually this
Speaker 2: is an ongoing day after day phenomenon. The rallies over
Speaker 2: the weekend, the attack of Tesla showrooms, the organized protest
Speaker 2: against Elon musk and and the Trump administration. People spray
Speaker 2: painting private property. These Tesla vehicles that were once great
Speaker 2: and now are somehow Nazi mobiles.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely in mostly by Democrats.
Speaker 2: You got one more segment with George Brenneman before we
Speaker 2: get to Congressman Warren Davidson. First though, seven if you
Speaker 2: both KRCD Talk Station Restore Liberty dot Us George Brunneman
Speaker 2: in studio, remember to show up with the event on
Speaker 2: Sunday again beginning at four thirty when the doors open,
Speaker 2: and enjoy that complimentary buffe hear from some wonderful speakers
Speaker 2: and some common sense solutions to our problems we face.
Speaker 2: And one of the problems we face, and I know
Speaker 2: you wanted to put a plug in for your other
Speaker 2: online and health related effort. George So, and they're remaining
Speaker 2: a couple of minutes, why not shift.
Speaker 1: Over to health So Restore Wellness dot org. We hit
Speaker 1: our first meeting a couple of weeks ago. Went fantastic. Actually,
Speaker 1: Keith did a speech on motivation. Went over really well.
Speaker 1: We did a podcast on COVID five years later. What
Speaker 1: we learned that thing is fantastic. Highly recommend go to
Speaker 1: Restore Wellness dot org and let's give that a listen
Speaker 1: At the rally on Sunday, we're going to have a
Speaker 1: table there for Restore Wellness. We're going to be having
Speaker 1: a raffle for a set of the books where you've
Speaker 1: got the lies I taught in medical school, lies your
Speaker 1: doctor tells you, and the Casey means book Good Energy.
Speaker 1: Those are a fantastic trio book, so we'll be you
Speaker 1: can get them for a dollar instead of the fifty
Speaker 1: five or whatever costs for the set. Yeah, we had
Speaker 1: a lot of people ask about the books you recommend,
Speaker 1: and there is a link. There is a link on
Speaker 1: the web page and we're going to have all of
Speaker 1: those books on at least the sheets for all of
Speaker 1: them on display so you can read through it. We'll
Speaker 1: give you the key R code, so it's real simple
Speaker 1: to just point your phone at it and you can
Speaker 1: order it off Amazon. But yeah, every sore. Well this
Speaker 1: has been going great. We're going to try and you know,
Speaker 1: get that rolling out as well to throughout the area.
Speaker 1: But I just wanted to make sure people were where
Speaker 1: it's still going on. It's it's gaining strength. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: and so I got to ask, how's it going with
Speaker 1: the working out while you're watching television? Well, thanks you
Speaker 1: for kicking me in the butt.
Speaker 2: And I had other people who have over the years
Speaker 2: suggested it's making similar that I got a little heat
Speaker 2: from them, like, well, I told you about the I
Speaker 2: got the same. But you know it all it all
Speaker 2: came down to, you know, the sort of the cancer
Speaker 2: diagnosis and my wife and my family suggesting that I
Speaker 2: had put on a few too many pounds over the
Speaker 2: past couple of years. And so the stars all align
Speaker 2: to the point where when you guys were in studio
Speaker 2: talking about you know, these health benefits, all I do
Speaker 2: is sit and watch Netflix after the show. So I
Speaker 2: want to because I want to clear my mind of
Speaker 2: the colossal craft that we deal with every day. So
Speaker 2: I did get a set of adjustable weights, and so
Speaker 2: now I pull them out and I do reps and
Speaker 2: I feel there, and I'll wait a half hour and
Speaker 2: I'll do another set, and so you know, I'm obviously
Speaker 2: not ripped, and you can see through my sweater here,
Speaker 2: but it's I'm doing something well and every the whole
Speaker 2: point of all that it helps, Every little bit helps,
Speaker 2: and it's amazing how little steps make a difference. So,
Speaker 2: you know, get rid of the high frucos corn serrup
Speaker 2: that's been done for a month now, and that's that's
Speaker 2: why how I lost weight.
Speaker 1: And then the others, you know, we'll all get rid
Speaker 1: of all of the processed stuff and then and if
Speaker 1: you really want to take the big step, try and
Speaker 1: get rid of the carbs, because it's just evil stuff.
Speaker 1: There are more and more studies coming out talking about
Speaker 1: the benefits of that. I think it's really starting to
Speaker 1: catch on.
Speaker 2: It is, and that's why you know, I keep expressing
Speaker 2: some measure of excitement for at least RFK Junior, with
Speaker 2: his name recognition and the fact that he you know,
Speaker 2: he's just pretty much long time left, this guy who
Speaker 2: I taught alone a lot. I'm glad he's part of
Speaker 2: the Trump administration in this particular role. You know, he
Speaker 2: doesn't have any control over environmental policy, has control over
Speaker 2: information about our health, getting the message out about help.
Speaker 1: Looking for two things from him. Get the floor ad
Speaker 1: out of the water. Yeah, working on that, and get
Speaker 1: the soft drinks out of snap.
Speaker 2: They're working on that too, and there's been some progress
Speaker 2: in some of the states going down this road.
Speaker 1: I don't have any idea why we Paicola's going nuts
Speaker 1: because they paid a fortune to get it put into
Speaker 1: the program in the first place. Oh how about that
Speaker 1: surprise money connections, money talks and health walks. That's apparently
Speaker 1: the case. Yeah, it's it's just crazy. But hey, last plug.
Speaker 1: Go to restore Liberty dot us. Click on the link,
Speaker 1: make sure you register. We're looking to pack the house.
Speaker 1: And a big shout out to Americans for Prosperity for
Speaker 1: co sponsoring the event and helping us with all the costs.
Speaker 2: George Breunhman, thanks for coming in studio, good luck with
Speaker 2: the event, and again thanks to AFP folks. Congressman Warren
Speaker 2: Davids is online. He's ready to talk. We'll bring him
Speaker 2: on right after these brief words starting fifty five KCD
Speaker 2: Talk Station, A very happy Thursday to you, always a
Speaker 2: good day. When Congressman Warren Davidson returns to the fifty
Speaker 2: five KRC Morning Show, Congressman Davidson, welcome back. It's a
Speaker 2: pleasure to have you on, as it always is.
Speaker 4: Ran.
Speaker 6: It's always an honor. Thanks, good to talk to you.
Speaker 2: And first off, I got to give you a little
Speaker 2: bit of earfull through George Brunneman, who didn't stick around
Speaker 2: to the studio to give it to himself that he
Speaker 2: was hoping that you could do a video for the
Speaker 2: Restore Liberty Fiscal Sanity rally on Sunday. So there you
Speaker 2: make your own decisions. I told him I would pass
Speaker 2: it along and put you on the spot.
Speaker 6: They've got a little I will find a way that
Speaker 6: sounds like a great thing to do.
Speaker 3: A video for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's going to be a lot of them, including
Speaker 2: I believe, I guess vivek Ramaswami is going to be
Speaker 2: providing one and Bernie Moreno as well. So you're in
Speaker 2: good company there and that's a great organization Restored Liberty
Speaker 2: dot Us. All right, I've taken you off the spot
Speaker 2: and putting you back in your role as an elected
Speaker 2: official in Congress. I don't know which which direction you
Speaker 2: would have starts you perhaps just gauging your reaction on
Speaker 2: the whole tariff situation. I guess everybody got all their
Speaker 2: money back. Yesterday when Donald Trump said he was sitting
Speaker 2: down with what seventy five countries expressed the desire to
Speaker 2: negotiate and work out something, including Canada, that sounded like,
Speaker 2: you know, they wanted to push down for maybe open
Speaker 2: free trade, open trade, and maybe just get rid of
Speaker 2: tariff's all together, but at least sitting down at the
Speaker 2: table and talking about it resulted in this ninety day pause,
Speaker 2: which the markets exhaled and went through the roof. Your
Speaker 2: reaction to all this going.
Speaker 6: On, I love it when a plan comes together. You know,
Speaker 6: people are like, oh, Trump folded, No, this was a
Speaker 6: total bait the whole time, and it took this. I
Speaker 6: mean the crazy thing is people are like, well, why
Speaker 6: didn't he just get everybody to work together before? Well,
Speaker 6: he tried his whole first term, and he told people
Speaker 6: as he was meeting with them. Since June of twenty
Speaker 6: twenty three, he put out a video in June of
Speaker 6: twenty twenty three, saying exactly what he was going to
Speaker 6: do on his campaign website, and then he got an
Speaker 6: office and people acted surprise that he did it. It's
Speaker 6: like why would you. I mean, he says he's going
Speaker 6: to do things, he does them in his campaign promises,
Speaker 6: and this is one of them. And the big thing
Speaker 6: that people didn't get about, why are you putting tariffs
Speaker 6: on our allies? Well, one, they're not treating as fairly,
Speaker 6: that's true, but the biggest thing is they refused to
Speaker 6: help with China. So what happened is China misplayed this badly,
Speaker 6: and now we've built a coalition. We've set up the
Speaker 6: opportunity to get the allies, our supposed allies, and the
Speaker 6: people that came forward and said, well help. Part of
Speaker 6: helping isn't just fixing your trade relationship with us, it's
Speaker 6: fixing our collective trade relationship with China. China's been taking
Speaker 6: advantage of everyone, stealing our intellectual property, blocking market access,
Speaker 6: and part of why China has no leverage they don't
Speaker 6: allow us access to their market. So, okay, put your
Speaker 6: tiarfs at whatever you want, but it's not going to
Speaker 6: hurt us as much as our tears are hurting you.
Speaker 6: And that's what you're seeing turmoil in the bond market
Speaker 6: because China needs to keep selling off things to create
Speaker 6: liquidity to hold their currency pegged low. It's their currency
Speaker 6: manipulation practice. So this is a well crafted play. It's
Speaker 6: a big part of why Scott Bessant became the Secretary
Speaker 6: of Treasury.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I was just going to bring Scott beston
Speaker 2: up because yesterday he said, in response to that eighty
Speaker 2: four percent additional tariff, China added because they're going the
Speaker 2: opposite direction, rather than negotiate something with us, they hyped
Speaker 2: on a much bigger tariff. So what we're a one
Speaker 2: twenty five and they're kind of close to that at
Speaker 2: this point. But he said they may delist Chinese stock
Speaker 2: from American exchanges.
Speaker 1: That would happen. That would be a it would herd,
Speaker 1: that would sting.
Speaker 6: Yeah, We've got a lot of tools that we could
Speaker 6: use to go through China. I mean right now, that's
Speaker 6: one of the things. And you know, honestly, China gets
Speaker 6: special treatment to even be listed. Normally, you have to
Speaker 6: be fully audited by a firm recognized by you know,
Speaker 6: the New York Stock Exchange for example, Masdak whatever, you
Speaker 6: have credible audits. But China's stocks are essentially tracking stocks
Speaker 6: because they're not going through the same level of scrutiny,
Speaker 6: And so you could easily just hold the Chinese companies
Speaker 6: to the same standard as everyone else, and while they
Speaker 6: would be delisted. We've got nearly three hundred thousand students
Speaker 6: in the United States from China. America has about thirty
Speaker 6: thousand students in China. So we go ahead and say, well,
Speaker 6: you know, you can't study here. And honestly, China expects
Speaker 6: their students to spy on Americans in order to be
Speaker 6: eligible for the student visa. So you know, there are
Speaker 6: all kinds of tools that we could use here. And look,
Speaker 6: I think honestly, Donald Trump, Scott Besant, myself, and most
Speaker 6: of my colleagues, we would love to have a friendly
Speaker 6: relationship with the people of China. Chisha Ping, that's he's
Speaker 6: not that kind of guy. He's not the same guy
Speaker 6: that Doung Chaoping was. And that's the kind of deal
Speaker 6: that happened. It opened up China is you had kind
Speaker 6: of this mindset that we can engage and bring China
Speaker 6: into the fold. Now they may have been in dishonest
Speaker 6: the entire time. But culturally, the phenomenon in China is
Speaker 6: just radically different under Chijuping than it was under Hu Jentao.
Speaker 6: And you know, if you follow anything much about China,
Speaker 6: who Jintao was the guy that Chijiping purp walked out
Speaker 6: of their People's Congress at the last time. He was
Speaker 6: the former president, former leader, chairman of the Chinese Communist Party,
Speaker 6: and just a very different kind of approach to foreign engagement.
Speaker 6: And Chijiping is essentially like Mao mal Or.
Speaker 2: I was going to say Stalin, but yeah, very so,
Speaker 2: very reminiscent of the Soviet Union. If you disagree with
Speaker 2: or represent some sort of threat to the leader, then
Speaker 2: you tend to disappear and are it used to be
Speaker 2: they eradicated you from photographs. Even I thought that using
Speaker 2: old technology they could erase people's existence. Kind of very Orwellian.
Speaker 2: Oh that maybe that's why he wrote nineteen eighty four. Anyway,
Speaker 2: turning over to the Senate budget resolution, which I saw,
Speaker 2: Speaker Johnson canceled a vote yesterday evening on the Senate
Speaker 2: budget proposal. Apparently there's some good holdouts in Congress that
Speaker 2: want to, you know, get more promises of cuts. And
Speaker 2: my understanding is the Senate proposal only cuts four billion
Speaker 2: over ten years, which is like how much we spill
Speaker 2: on a daily basis, and House Republicans were looking for
Speaker 2: more like two trillion in cuts. Where are we on this?
Speaker 6: Congressman Davidson, Well, I couldn't support the Senate version, and
Speaker 6: honestly so, I was in negotiations with the Speaker, you know,
Speaker 6: really all week, but we basically closed the doors and
Speaker 6: sat there from like six pm until eleven last night
Speaker 6: trying to negotiate some sort of way around this. The
Speaker 6: Senate doesn't really want to be bound to the House's number,
Speaker 6: and look, bad news doesn't get better with time. I mean,
Speaker 6: if they say, oh, we can find the votes, well,
Speaker 6: don't find the votes three months from now. Find the
Speaker 6: votes now. And you know, they're having a hard time
Speaker 6: getting people in the Senate to commit to promising to
Speaker 6: save money, let alone on final passage. When all the
Speaker 6: deals put together, then there'll be a lot of pressure
Speaker 6: to get it done because the tax cuts will have
Speaker 6: been negotiated, the spending cuts will have been negotiated, the
Speaker 6: debt ceiling limit will have been agreed to. And here's
Speaker 6: the thing the House said, look in exchange for one
Speaker 6: and a half trillion as a floor, we will raise
Speaker 6: the debt limit by four trillion dollars. Now, when are
Speaker 6: you going to normally make a loan? For the loan
Speaker 6: officers out there listening, when are you going to make
Speaker 6: a loan of four trillion dollars when somebody promises to
Speaker 6: only find a way to come up with one and
Speaker 6: a half trillion, and you know darn well that they
Speaker 6: actually over a ten year period don't need four trillion,
Speaker 6: they need eighteen trillion, right, who's going to make that loan? Well,
Speaker 6: that's what basically Congress is doing with either of these bills.
Speaker 6: So even the House bill isn't very good. But instead
Speaker 6: at one and a half trillion dollar floor, the Senate
Speaker 6: bill said, we'll see your four trillion, we'll raise it.
Speaker 6: We want five trillion, and we're only going to commit
Speaker 6: to four billion in savings, which is like a day
Speaker 6: of interest payments exactly. That's insane. That's insane, and you
Speaker 6: know there's there's no Now. They promised privately in the Senate.
Speaker 6: Part of how they got some of these good senators
Speaker 6: to go along with it. They promised privately, Well, we're
Speaker 6: really going to come up with two to three trillion,
Speaker 6: put it on paper exactly press conference, in publicans say
Speaker 6: it at least, but they're all, well, with the quiet
Speaker 6: whispers behind the closed doors, you know, we really think
Speaker 6: we can come up now we're done with the hollow
Speaker 6: promises stuff.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 6: That's that's basically how you we got into this mess,
Speaker 6: not because Conservatives held up things. We got in this
Speaker 6: mess because of bipartisan bankrupt America policies have got us
Speaker 6: thirty six train in debt.
Speaker 2: And I'm glad you said bipartisan banker of American policies
Speaker 2: because let's face it, the Republicans own the Senate, and
Speaker 2: maybe not by much, but they still do. They control it.
Speaker 2: They have the majority of votes saying with the House,
Speaker 2: Uh this this, it's as if they're they're they're passing
Speaker 2: up a golden opportunity with all of the spotlight that's
Speaker 2: being shed by the Department of Governmental Efficiency on all
Speaker 2: of the fraud wasted abuse in government. These are hard
Speaker 2: earned taxpayer dollars taken from our wallets because we labored
Speaker 2: for it, and they don't seem to care a whit
Speaker 2: about where the money goes. That message has been projected
Speaker 2: loud and creative the American public.
Speaker 1: We get it.
Speaker 2: We understand that more people are outraged by thanks to
Speaker 2: the work of Doge.
Speaker 1: This seems like the best possible time in this in
Speaker 1: the history or at least as long as I've been living,
Speaker 1: to make a make an argument for genuine cuts to
Speaker 1: government spending.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've never seen more momentum in the public and
Speaker 6: the popular consciousness behind less government. And you just got
Speaker 6: to be honest. If you find somebody right now that
Speaker 6: is not going to say they'll vote for less government
Speaker 6: in light of the environment we're in right now, they
Speaker 6: don't want less government.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 6: I mean there's people that could get boxed into less
Speaker 6: government because they know that's what the momentum with the
Speaker 6: public is. The idea that we're going to move this
Speaker 6: and not actually deliver less government, to me is insane.
Speaker 6: And look, the President's sent out, Look, we're going to
Speaker 6: get at least a trillion dollars in cuts and all that,
Speaker 6: and that's important. But the lack of trust isn't what
Speaker 6: Donald Trump. It's not what the team he's hired. Those
Speaker 6: guys are great. It's with the Senate the Senate always
Speaker 6: fails us, and you look at it like where's the pressure.
Speaker 6: There's always like pressure on House conservatives, and you know
Speaker 6: the reason we can't have nice things is conservatives in
Speaker 6: the House. Right when was their pressure on the Senate?
Speaker 6: I mean, there's not even a cross word to a senator.
Speaker 6: When was their pressure on the Senate when they were
Speaker 6: negotiating this crap deal of four billion dollars in savings
Speaker 6: that's crazy. As they were doing that, where was the
Speaker 6: pressure being applied to the Senate? So right now, I
Speaker 6: think that's the thing that's like, You've got a couple
Speaker 6: dozen of us that are just like, look, I can't
Speaker 6: vote for this thing without something further. And then you know,
Speaker 6: there's there's jet fumes out here and everybody wants to
Speaker 6: get out of town for Easter break and Passover and
Speaker 6: all that. You know, maybe that'll make everybody come come
Speaker 6: together and do a reasonable deal. But I think those
Speaker 6: of us that are dug in on we're bankrupting America
Speaker 6: and I'm not going to participate in it, are in
Speaker 6: for the fight. And it's like, look, we don't want
Speaker 6: to be obstructionist in the sense of you know, getting
Speaker 6: the agenda done, but we do want to be obstructuralist.
Speaker 6: If you're planning on driving to the crash site colassing
Speaker 6: us in a dip bomb, we don't want to participate
Speaker 6: in that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, history will remember who fought for the fiscal responsibility
Speaker 2: and who and who let us well down this existential threat,
Speaker 2: which is the you know, essentially thirty six trillion and
Speaker 2: growing every moment. While we speak deficit we have, It's
Speaker 2: just it's it's crazy. I mean, no one can project
Speaker 2: down the road how this can work out successfully, and
Speaker 2: that is a reality.
Speaker 1: No one can hide from.
Speaker 2: So you know, we're gonna we're going to spend ourselves
Speaker 2: into oblivion and we're going to collapse the Fiat currency,
Speaker 2: which will basically mean the end of the American economy.
Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson, Yeah, I.
Speaker 6: Mean, and look when the when when the US US dollar,
Speaker 6: when the usonomy has the time borrowing funding treasuries, that's
Speaker 6: not like you know when Gerise had a hard time
Speaker 6: borrowing and or whatever. We are the market. I mean,
Speaker 6: people go to the dollar for the hedge, They buy
Speaker 6: US treasuries for security instability. I mean, we not only
Speaker 6: have about five percent of the world's population four and
Speaker 6: a half or so. We got over fifty percent of
Speaker 6: the world's capital invested in our markets. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 6: so truly. Like the idea that the United States could
Speaker 6: have problems with our economy in the world economy be
Speaker 6: okay is crazy. I mean it is, and that's kept
Speaker 6: us propped up for a long time things that everybody
Speaker 6: knows isn't sustainable, and that's led people to falsely believe that, well,
Speaker 6: we can keep doing this. We can just print money.
Speaker 6: You know, we have the reserve currency. We can just
Speaker 6: spend more money and defits don't matter, and think, well,
Speaker 6: a def sit don't matter, why bother collecting taxes? I mean,
Speaker 6: I used to be part of the reason why why
Speaker 6: people said, well, we want to hold the taxes low
Speaker 6: because they'll hold down the size and scope of government.
Speaker 6: But they've blown way past that. There's not even a
Speaker 6: talk about balancing the budget at this point.
Speaker 2: Congress and Warren Davidson wish we had more time. We
Speaker 2: are out.
Speaker 1: I appreciate your willingness to talk with my listeners of
Speaker 1: me this morning, and I'll look forward to having a
Speaker 1: conversation again. Meanwhile, keep fighting a good fight. We got
Speaker 1: a golden opportunity right here now YouTube.
Speaker 6: Brian, God bless you and all your listeners.
Speaker 1: Take care seven fifty three fifty five CARES to DE
Speaker 1: Talk Station. Coming up on eight oh five and fifty
Speaker 1: five care CD Talk Station. A very happy Friday Eve
Speaker 1: to you. Been looking forward to this conversation all morning.
Speaker 1: My next guest Brian Reisinger. He grew up on a
Speaker 1: family farm in Sault County, Wisconsin and loves to talk
Speaker 1: about the hidden stories of rural America. Like most children
Speaker 1: of farmers, he worked with his father from the time
Speaker 1: you could walk before he ultimately entered the world of
Speaker 1: business and business journalism and public policy. He has been
Speaker 1: published in like every single publication you can think of,
Speaker 1: USA Today, Newsweek, Yahoo News, Wisconsin Public Radios, Wisconsin Life.
Speaker 1: I could go on Real Clear Politics and go to
Speaker 1: that site all the time. He also is an award
Speaker 1: winner Nationalist newspaper Calmness, first place in Seven Hills Literary
Speaker 1: Contrast Contest, and the Saul Sword And I could go on,
Speaker 1: but today we're going to talk about his very first book,
Speaker 1: Land Rich, Cash Poor, My Family's Hope and the Untold
Speaker 1: History of the Disappearing American Farmer. Brian, Welcome to the
Speaker 1: Morning Show. It's a real pleasure to have you on today.
Speaker 3: Hey, good morning, it's good to be with you.
Speaker 1: I feel like I have some least connection with you.
Speaker 4: I am.
Speaker 2: I outkicked my coverage when I married my wife. She
Speaker 2: grew up on a rural dairy farm out in Pennsylvania,
Speaker 2: a little town no one's ever heard of called Avella.
Speaker 2: Her dad literally worked his entire life every single day.
Speaker 2: If you don't milk the cows twice a day, you
Speaker 2: don't get paid. So it was a small farm, a
Speaker 2: house he built himself. They all grew up, they all
Speaker 2: worked the farm, never had really much money at all,
Speaker 2: but it was just it's just it's an amazing life.
Speaker 2: When you hear the stories and the hardships that go
Speaker 2: along with it. It's not an easy life at all.
Speaker 1: Something I know that I'm telling you that you know about,
Speaker 1: and so quite often you know multiple generations.
Speaker 2: You know, kids want to move away, they want to
Speaker 2: go to the city. They don't want to follow in
Speaker 2: their fathers or mother's footsteps. And I suppose that's part
Speaker 2: of this disappearing American farmer concept.
Speaker 1: But it's beyond that, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Because it's expensive to be a small farmer these days.
Speaker 3: You're absolutely right. I'm so glad we share that history.
Speaker 3: And it sounds like your wife's probably a hard working
Speaker 3: person in all values and had a great child. And
Speaker 3: you know, you're absolutely right in terms of the way you
Speaker 3: describe the way of life. And here's the issue. It
Speaker 3: goes so deep. It does have to do with what's
Speaker 3: our next generation doing, but it has to do with
Speaker 3: economic factors, governmental factors, technological factors, all kinds of ways
Speaker 3: that we've been leaving our family farmers behind. That's what
Speaker 3: we do in the book. We dive into the hidden
Speaker 3: airs of history that are driving that disappearance. Why is
Speaker 3: it happening, and what's the consequence to all of us?
Speaker 3: And then we leave out with my family's story, and
Speaker 3: those are stories that are probably like the ones you
Speaker 3: heard from your wife's family stories. Is survival of you know,
Speaker 3: weather farm accident. Second, iic up people from the depression
Speaker 3: to today, and you know, it's definitely a unique thing.
Speaker 3: It's a life deals with with both beauty and hardship
Speaker 3: that goes hand in hand.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: Growing up, you know, I not not fully appreciating the
Speaker 2: concept of the small, the family farm by contrast to
Speaker 2: the corporate farm. And of course, if you're a corporate farm,
Speaker 2: you can afford to buy the what I don't know
Speaker 2: how much one of those massive tractors costs. There are
Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands of dollars, and I just I can't
Speaker 2: imagine a situation where my my now late father in law,
Speaker 2: he lived in ninety three, I think years old, the
Speaker 2: idea that he could ever afford something that costs so
Speaker 2: much in order to just sort of just try to
Speaker 2: keep up in terms of competing. I mean it, it's
Speaker 2: just it represents such a colossal challenge for small farmers
Speaker 2: to compete with, you know, somebody who's got tens of
Speaker 2: millions of dollars because they're backed up by major corporations.
Speaker 1: You know, it does.
Speaker 3: And here's what's going on. We've got that kind of
Speaker 3: force going on all across our economy. So the food
Speaker 3: companies are working to keep up with the rest of
Speaker 3: the American economy by getting bigger and bigger. The agribusiness
Speaker 3: companies work and keep with food companies, and the farmers
Speaker 3: are left trying to keep up with the agga business.
Speaker 3: Food companies several are trying to keep up with the Joneses.
Speaker 3: So you get farms, whether they're a big, small, or medium,
Speaker 3: they are all trying to keep up with the jones
Speaker 3: and everybody has that pressure to get bigger or get out.
Speaker 3: A lot of our bigger farmers got that way trying
Speaker 3: to survive a lot of our medium and smaller farms.
Speaker 3: You ended up not making it because that we do
Speaker 3: still have a lot of family farms left in this country.
Speaker 3: But it's truly against the odds. It's people like your
Speaker 3: father in law who are continue to work trying to
Speaker 3: figure a way to be competitive, to be efficient, to
Speaker 3: be resourceful, even though the economic crises and government policies
Speaker 3: you hit them in unique ways that people don't understand.
Speaker 3: And even though so much of our technology, to your point,
Speaker 3: has been leaving family farms behind. It doesn't have to
Speaker 3: be this way, but it certainly is this way. With
Speaker 3: the deck stacked against our family farmer who's whatever their
Speaker 3: type or size, fighting to keep going well.
Speaker 2: And it almost seems like they're intentionally trying to put
Speaker 2: the small farm out of business. And I don't know
Speaker 2: if you've ever seen it, and I know it's Britain
Speaker 2: or the United Kingdom. But Clarkson's farm, you know, Jeremy
Speaker 2: Clarkson has this farm, and every show really illustrates the
Speaker 2: insanity of the micro management of government authorities over you
Speaker 2: know the types of crops that are grown, where they
Speaker 2: can be grown, you know the amount of moisture contact
Speaker 2: content in a rape seed, and it's almost as if
Speaker 2: they want to drive amount of business with rules and regulations.
Speaker 2: Then you keep on the whole idea of this climate change, religion,
Speaker 2: col flatulence. We need to regulate that, we need to
Speaker 2: regulate how much space your chickens have or your pork has.
Speaker 2: I mean, it just adds so much additional cost burden
Speaker 2: and I guess paperwork on the small farmer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you're so right. Every single day, government requirements, regulations, taxes,
Speaker 3: different things are really waging war on the American family farmer.
Speaker 3: And you know, the people who care about our environment.
Speaker 3: The irony is that there's nobody who cares as much
Speaker 3: about our soul, health and abundant water, clean water as
Speaker 3: our farmers. So there's a lot of room for people
Speaker 3: who care about environment and farmers to work together. But
Speaker 3: the problem is our political debates divide everybody and we've
Speaker 3: got government that's really stamping out family farmers. I give
Speaker 3: you a one brief, perfect example. This happens. This stuff
Speaker 3: happens every single day, but there's really really serious times
Speaker 3: in our history, or escalated in the farm crisis. The
Speaker 3: government was pushing more debt on farms to make them
Speaker 3: get bigger, and then within a few years they raised
Speaker 3: interest rates because they were trying to deal with inflation.
Speaker 3: You can argue forour or against the government trying to
Speaker 3: encourage farmers to expand you can argue forour or against
Speaker 3: changing interest rates. But when you push debt on them
Speaker 3: with the government, and then you use that same government
Speaker 3: to make that debt more expensive, you wipe out tens
Speaker 3: of thousands of farms. My parents, we tell the story
Speaker 3: in the book. They just barely survived that they had
Speaker 3: been dealing with a drought and almost had to take
Speaker 3: out a bunch of debt right before the farm crisis hit.
Speaker 3: They didn't have to do that because they've banded together
Speaker 3: with neighbors to get through that drought year, and they
Speaker 3: avoided taking on debt which would have wiped them out.
Speaker 3: In the nineteen eighties, just like happened to tens of
Speaker 3: thousands of farms, all at the hand of our government.
Speaker 2: And I'm so glad you brought that up, that you
Speaker 2: banded together, because I've also gotten stories from my wife,
Speaker 2: you know, anecdotes, and it's like, I shouldn't I should
Speaker 2: give credit to my dad's side of the family too,
Speaker 2: because they were all what I call dirt farmers in Tennessee.
Speaker 2: So I got farm stock on both sides. But the
Speaker 2: idea of community, and this is one of the more
Speaker 2: positive things and one of the realities of you know,
Speaker 2: when you ask yourself when you hear about you and
Speaker 2: I talking about all this crisis and the problems and
Speaker 2: the difficulties of being a farmer. There are so many
Speaker 2: rewards to being a small farmer. And part of it
Speaker 2: is that sense of community. Because the entire region where
Speaker 2: my wife grew up, they're all farmers. They're all engaged
Speaker 2: in the dairy business or you know, or at least
Speaker 2: some aspect of farming. And when the hard times hit,
Speaker 2: when people you know, struggle with difficulties, they all step
Speaker 2: up to the plate and help each other out.
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful thing to behold.
Speaker 3: That's absolutely right. By the way, I'm glad that they
Speaker 3: put a microphone in front of somebody who's got farming
Speaker 3: on both sides of your family. That's outstanding.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you see, I did following the footsteps. I
Speaker 2: practiced law for sixteen years and I've been on the
Speaker 2: radio now for this is my nineteenth year. I think
Speaker 2: I was frightened away by the hardships that I saw
Speaker 2: when I was exposed to it.
Speaker 3: Brian, Well, I'll tell you we struggle with those same
Speaker 3: things in our family. My sister's work and take over
Speaker 3: the farm from my dad. I worked with my dad
Speaker 3: from time like a walk. I love my roots, but
Speaker 3: I didn't have their talent for cattle and crops. So
Speaker 3: although I still worked with them on the business side,
Speaker 3: and they're throwing a track from my dad. But you know,
Speaker 3: I pursued my writing career. I'm just honored to be
Speaker 3: able to tell the stories. So you and I have
Speaker 3: come to some of the same things. But you know
Speaker 3: your point on neighbors banning together. You're absolutely right. That
Speaker 3: neighbor that I mentioned that helped my parents get through
Speaker 3: the farm crisis in nineteen eighty is what happened. Is
Speaker 3: he was an elderly man, didn't need all the crops
Speaker 3: in his field. My dad was a young man starting
Speaker 3: out and had fields that were barely putting up the crops.
Speaker 3: He needed to feed his animals. So they went what
Speaker 3: they call halves, and you might know this from your
Speaker 3: own family background, when you go have one guy does
Speaker 3: the work and then they split the crop right. Well,
Speaker 3: the old man the name was Leo, and he refused
Speaker 3: to take his fair share. He gave my dad more
Speaker 3: of the crop than he ought to have, and my
Speaker 3: dad kept on going down there trying to pay him money.
Speaker 3: And you walked into the guy's cigarette, you know, filled
Speaker 3: living and trying to hand him money there after dame time,
Speaker 3: the guy said, you just got married. You don't know
Speaker 3: me nothing. To take it and go. And we get
Speaker 3: emotional just thinking about what we've been gone for a
Speaker 3: number of years now. But if he hadn't done that,
Speaker 3: my parents would have taken out a load of debt,
Speaker 3: potentially just before the farm crisis hit. And it was
Speaker 3: that working together and that sense of local community that
Speaker 3: really got people through. And by the way, you know,
Speaker 3: my dad was able to help this guy, but he
Speaker 3: put in extra hours, working around the clock to get
Speaker 3: the crops off this guy's field, and so it was
Speaker 3: people helping people, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the other sense I always get is in
Speaker 2: another story back in from my wife. Back in the seventies,
Speaker 2: we went through stagflation and the economy went down the toilet,
Speaker 2: and I'm sure it happened in multiple different times over
Speaker 2: the life of that particular farm and my father in law.
Speaker 2: But because they were realistic and not materialistic, they pretty
Speaker 2: much were self sufficient.
Speaker 1: They didn't, you know, want more.
Speaker 2: They didn't think that, oh my god, I wish I
Speaker 2: had a better this, or that they had everything they needed.
Speaker 2: And so when hard times hit the general population and
Speaker 2: people then had to do without something, they became used
Speaker 2: to like, oh, we're going to have to cut back
Speaker 2: on this, or we need to drop the country club membership.
Speaker 2: Because of the you know, the economic thing, their life
Speaker 2: remained static. They continued to live at the same level,
Speaker 2: which was enough to feed them and satisfy them and
Speaker 2: pay the bills, and they it was sort of if
Speaker 2: they didn't have a newspaper, they didn't even realize the
Speaker 2: rest of the world was going through this turmoil.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's absolutely right, you know, It's one of the
Speaker 3: things that I encountered so much when I was working
Speaker 3: on the book because I knew these family stories, I
Speaker 3: knew bits and pieces of them, and I wanted to
Speaker 3: reconstruct and be able to tell the survival stories. But
Speaker 3: then I started researching what was going on around us
Speaker 3: at that time. What was happening to my great grandparents
Speaker 3: in the early nineteen nine so what was happening to
Speaker 3: my grandparents and the depression? What were the bigger forces
Speaker 3: at play? And it's so true that you know, when
Speaker 3: you're on the ground and the farm, you don't necessarily
Speaker 3: have a way to see the bigger forces affecting you.
Speaker 3: And then vice versa. Right the rest of the country
Speaker 3: that's living out some of those forces doesn't necessarily get
Speaker 3: a chance to see what's on the farm. And that's
Speaker 3: really the challenge. That's the core reason that our farms
Speaker 3: are disappearance, because that disconnects. And here's the thing. It
Speaker 3: impacts not only our rural communities like where I'm from
Speaker 3: and like where your family has roots that are getting
Speaker 3: hollowed out, but it impacts every single American dinner table
Speaker 3: because when we're losing our farms, we're impacting the price,
Speaker 3: the health, the security of the food supply for every
Speaker 3: single American.
Speaker 2: Brian Rising or the author of the book we're talking
Speaker 2: about today, land Ridge Cash Poor, my family's hope and
Speaker 2: the untold history of the disappearing American farmer, Brian, if
Speaker 2: you could fix something, and I mean, I guess for
Speaker 2: an initial question of the answer, can the small farm,
Speaker 2: can the the the American small farmer be saved? Can
Speaker 2: they continue assuming they desire to continue farming as opposed
Speaker 2: to corporate sized farms, Can they survive? And if there's
Speaker 2: something if the answer may be leaning toward no, because
Speaker 2: of all the things that we sort of scratch the
Speaker 2: surface of that you dive deep to deep two in
Speaker 2: your book, what would you change that might need to
Speaker 2: a better life for them or a more successful, lasting
Speaker 2: farm life.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, you know there is reason for hope. We've lost
Speaker 3: seventy percent of our farms in the past century, which
Speaker 3: is devastating, but we still got nearly two million left.
Speaker 3: And here's the incredible thing. Ninety six percent of our
Speaker 3: family farms. And it's because people have farms that they're
Speaker 3: working part time will also pull them two to three
Speaker 3: jobs to keep things going. So these are families nearly
Speaker 3: two million families that are you know, continuing to fight
Speaker 3: forward even though we haven't you know, made the economics
Speaker 3: work in this country. Imagine if we made the economics
Speaker 3: work again. And so we do need to change things,
Speaker 3: and there's moves we can make that can inject new
Speaker 3: entrepreneur opportunity out there for our farmers. We need to
Speaker 3: research and development revolution so that all of our technology
Speaker 3: is bringing farms of all sizes, medium and small as
Speaker 3: well as large along. We need to change our policies
Speaker 3: to make sure we've got fair markets for small businesses
Speaker 3: in this country. And we need to make sure that
Speaker 3: consumers who care about where their food comes from take
Speaker 3: steps toward buying from local farmers, buyack from a farmer
Speaker 3: down the road, you know that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, imagine that that was an injection of positivity the
Speaker 2: whole buy local, buy from your local farmers, the you know,
Speaker 2: eat and consume local. What's available fresh from the farm,
Speaker 2: you know, grass raised, be a grass fed beef raised
Speaker 2: from your local farm. It should be easier for I
Speaker 2: suppose farmers to slaughter their own beef and sell it locally.
Speaker 2: Maybe I knew Congressman Thomas Massey's on my program a lot.
Speaker 2: I'm a huge fan of it. Is he has his
Speaker 2: own farm, and you know he is a big fan
Speaker 2: of you know, raw milk or some health benefits of that.
Speaker 2: My wife grew up drinking it, you know, straight from
Speaker 2: the Couch's as healthy as she could possibly be. So,
Speaker 2: you know, but maybe this RFK junior emphasis towards health
Speaker 2: might give that much needed infusion for the local farmer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, that's the hope. There's always opportunity in
Speaker 3: peril and for the farmer. And you know, people caring
Speaker 3: about where the food comes from us shifting toward farmers
Speaker 3: able to meet the markets and meet now, but also
Speaker 3: meet new markets from people who care about local, regional
Speaker 3: fresh food, who care about specialty foods. Being able to
Speaker 3: shift our farm economy in that direction, that creates the
Speaker 3: entrepreneur opportunity for our farmers. It also creates more options
Speaker 3: for consumers. We've got to make sure that we make
Speaker 3: those transitions. Understand that farms are small businesses. Then I
Speaker 3: have a whole lot of money sitting around to invest
Speaker 3: in new things, but they can make change over time.
Speaker 3: And if we can get focused on that and every
Speaker 3: consumer takes a step toward the farmer. I know the
Speaker 3: farmers are ready to take more steps toward the consumer.
Speaker 1: And knowing the farmers the way I do, I know
Speaker 1: you are right on that. Brian Rising, your author of
Speaker 1: land Ridge Cash for my family's hope and the untold
Speaker 1: history of the disappearing American farmer, hopefully we can reverse
Speaker 1: that process. Brian, it's been a real pleasure talking with
Speaker 1: you today. I appreciate you spending time with my listeners
Speaker 1: of me and for writing the book, which is now
Speaker 1: available on my blog page at fifty five KRC dot
Speaker 1: com so people can easily get a copy of it,
Speaker 1: and I strongly encourage them to do that because you
Speaker 1: will have a much more profound appreciation for the hard
Speaker 1: work that these men and women put in every single day. Brian,
Speaker 1: you take great care of yourself.
Speaker 3: Hey, thanks you too, Thanks for having me my pleasure.
Speaker 1: It's eight nineteen right now if you have KR City
Speaker 1: doc station, it being Thursday. I heard me the ABAS
Speaker 1: and expert Jay Ratliff waiting in the wingings looking forward
Speaker 1: to having imback on as I always am. Maybe a
Speaker 1: word or two about the markets. Hey thirty on a Thursday,
Speaker 1: regular listeners, No, it's that time week Get Stuck. iHeartMedia
Speaker 1: aviation expert Jay Ratlift.
Speaker 2: Welcome back, my good friend, Jay Ratliffe. It's a pleasure
Speaker 2: to have you on the program.
Speaker 4: As always spent some of the morning talking about your dad.
Speaker 4: Oh really, yeah, I was every morning I'm on with
Speaker 4: Bill Wills up at the TAM in Cleveland. Yeah and yeah,
Speaker 4: he used to do the farm reports forty some years
Speaker 4: ago and that of WLW and was talking about some
Speaker 4: fond memories of your dad. So I enjoyed that this morning.
Speaker 2: I appreciate that, and I'm sure my dad was smiling
Speaker 2: from above and reflecting on those memories himself. And you know,
Speaker 2: I gotta go down this stock trading road because you know,
Speaker 2: we always talk about it. You are a stock trader.
Speaker 2: Daytrade fund dot com is where you find Jay and
Speaker 2: his methodology and where you can learn it. But your
Speaker 2: reaction to the insanity that went on this week, you
Speaker 2: know Trump's you know, tariffs are issue. The mark goes crazy,
Speaker 2: trillions of dollars, dogs and cats, let me together, We're
Speaker 2: all gonna die and then lo and behold after him
Speaker 2: pausing it because so many countries stepped up to the
Speaker 2: plate and said no, we want to negotiate. We don't
Speaker 2: want to do retaliatory tariffs. We'd rather sit down and
Speaker 2: work something out with you. So he said, all right,
Speaker 2: we'll go ninety day pause. And one of my listeners,
Speaker 2: and you may have heard me mention it before, west Side,
Speaker 2: Jim Keefer. He lost a substantial amount of his portfolio,
Speaker 2: but gained all of it back plus some additional yesterday.
Speaker 1: He's ahead.
Speaker 4: And that's why you don't you don't panic. And you know,
Speaker 4: I have to admit, there's part of me that wonders
Speaker 4: if Donald Trump didn't pull this just to show the
Speaker 4: world he will do what he needs to do. And
Speaker 4: would that cause people that weren't formally gonna negotiate as
Speaker 4: country leaders say, you.
Speaker 1: Know what we need to I think that.
Speaker 4: We always talk, we always talk about the Airplane movie
Speaker 4: and there's a scene in there where all the lights
Speaker 4: go out on the runways and they look over and
Speaker 4: Johnny's pulled the plug with a big smile that you know,
Speaker 4: maybe that was Donald Trump. I don't want to think
Speaker 4: he would be playing with people's money that way, but
Speaker 4: you know, most people are just gonna you know, panic,
Speaker 4: but not pull the trigger and make any rash decisions.
Speaker 4: And you and I've talked about so many times before.
Speaker 4: The two emotions that I teach my students about are
Speaker 4: fear and greed. And if you can get the emotions
Speaker 4: out of the equation, you can make a lot of
Speaker 4: money consistently on Wall Street. But the problem is when
Speaker 4: people allowed the headlines and all the panic and things
Speaker 4: of this nature to start to, you know, influence their decisions.
Speaker 4: You had people that were making some really rash and
Speaker 4: ill advised decisions based on what was taking place, convinced
Speaker 4: the market was going to continue to go down and
Speaker 4: it you know, you just got to stay away from
Speaker 4: the emotion part. And Warren Buffett, if I may, the
Speaker 4: guy that was being chastised at an investor conference in
Speaker 4: I want to say it was February because people were
Speaker 4: telling the fifth richest man on the planet that he
Speaker 4: was making a mistake because he had three hundred and
Speaker 4: forty four billion dollars on the sidelines. They said that
Speaker 4: money should be in the market, come on, get it,
Speaker 4: and he's like, nope, I wait for stocks to go
Speaker 4: on sale, then I make my call. So I always
Speaker 4: think it's fun when somebody tells the fifth richest man
Speaker 4: in the world, he's doing something wrong, because you get
Speaker 4: to that point by doing a lot of things right.
Speaker 4: He doesn't panic when the market drops. He's just looking
Speaker 4: for stocks that go on sale and buys him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, perhaps he did buy after the
Speaker 2: cell off the other day. It wouldn't shock me if
Speaker 2: he did.
Speaker 4: I think he was waiting for a little bit more.
Speaker 4: And Braden, you never know. If if the tariffs and
Speaker 4: as we approach that ninety day mark aren't in a
Speaker 4: you know, in line with where we want, we could
Speaker 4: see another round of volatility. Now. The good news is
Speaker 4: that we if we do have round two, we've got
Speaker 4: between now and then to work on it and for
Speaker 4: people to understand what could happen and to relax. And
Speaker 4: in fact, on my success blog at the Day Trade Fund,
Speaker 4: I think it was a November entry of last year.
Speaker 4: On my success blog, I talked about how to survive
Speaker 4: and thrive when one of these market corrections take place.
Speaker 4: And they happen all the time, so if you can
Speaker 4: be prepared when it takes place, it doesn't catch you
Speaker 4: off guard. Be you don't panic, and see you've got
Speaker 4: a predetermined plane of action you're going to follow. Even
Speaker 4: if it means don't do anything and then do what
Speaker 4: the big guys do. That the Warren Buffets and others
Speaker 4: look for stocks to go on sale, and I warrant
Speaker 4: obviously holds them for longer periods of time than our eight,
Speaker 4: ten and fifteen minutes that we flip stocks. Right, it's
Speaker 4: the same concept. You look for stocks and it's the
Speaker 4: specific point. If they reach that point, you buy them
Speaker 4: and you know exactly where you're going to sell them.
Speaker 2: Well, I can't let the end of this conversation and
Speaker 2: as it's going to a break without observing you know,
Speaker 2: we are all familiar with, at least my listeners are
Speaker 2: the bias in media, and it's certainly they are not
Speaker 2: favorable to the Trump administration across the board. So maybe
Speaker 2: a lot of this hysteria and gloom and doom and
Speaker 2: we're all going to die as a consequence of them
Speaker 2: stirring the pot of fear that was brought about and
Speaker 2: well led to maybe some of the markets sell off.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but what.
Speaker 4: Brain you're exactly correct, and if you're talking about if
Speaker 4: as possible, as we saw with one of those recent
Speaker 4: polls that you've addressed, that the idea of an assassination
Speaker 4: on any of the you know, Musk or a Trump
Speaker 4: or these others is considered justifiable in the eyes of
Speaker 4: some of those people. I mean, yeah, that's the kind
Speaker 4: of message that they're sending. Yeah, they'll do anything and
Speaker 4: you know, whatever it means to try to prevent the
Speaker 4: president from doing what he's doing. In fact, in the
Speaker 4: last little bit, it's about the only thing that they've
Speaker 4: really had to jump up and down on to point at.
Speaker 4: But it's also the president Trump's own doing, because remember
Speaker 4: he talked about when he was campaigning, if the market
Speaker 4: wasn't doing well, look under me, it did great, blah
Speaker 4: blah blah blah blah. So now that he's president, he's
Speaker 4: got to own anything if it goes up or down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly true. Anyway, we'll pause, we will talk aviation issues.
Speaker 2: Aviation expert Jay ratlifte be right back after these brief words.
Speaker 2: And I heard media aviation expert Jay Rattlift as they
Speaker 2: lead into the first story, Jay Ratlift, is it just
Speaker 2: the Internet which brings these stories to our attention and
Speaker 2: they always existed at the same level, or our passenger
Speaker 2: is becoming more and more unruly these days.
Speaker 4: I would say there's an element of both, but it's
Speaker 4: it's probably a little bit more prevalent these days because
Speaker 4: and I think a lot of it has to do
Speaker 4: is just the aggravation of a lot of people as
Speaker 4: they fly. In the eighties, nineties, two thousands, a lot
Speaker 4: of times we would have load factors averaging sixty seventy
Speaker 4: percent where you still had room on the airplane. You
Speaker 4: weren't fighting for overhead storage space. It just it was
Speaker 4: a more pleasant experience to travel than what it is now.
Speaker 4: Now it's you know, you don't enjoy travel, you endure
Speaker 4: it to get where you're at, and it's almost like,
Speaker 4: you know, full contact rugby or something when you're trying
Speaker 4: to do it. So these stories, now that we've got
Speaker 4: social media, they tend to get out there more often,
Speaker 4: and there's a tendency to think, well, it's just because
Speaker 4: you know, we have the ability to get him out there.
Speaker 4: But the numbers are up a bit. The problem is
Speaker 4: a lot of times when these people are involved in assault,
Speaker 4: they don't share that information with other airlines, And that
Speaker 4: remains one of my biggest pet peas, because if you
Speaker 4: assault somebody on American well you should not be allowed
Speaker 4: to fly in United where you could assault a flight
Speaker 4: attendant or another passenger, there should be some sort of consequences.
Speaker 4: And boy, what a headache we had on that American
Speaker 4: flight leaving JFK on his way to Milan. And that
Speaker 4: just sounds so nice. Just get on a plane and
Speaker 4: you're going to Milan. You just sit back, relaxed, and
Speaker 4: you're gonna have a good time. Until four hours into
Speaker 4: the flight, you've got a passenger who gets into a
Speaker 4: heated argument with a flight attendant over what his meal
Speaker 4: wasn't what he had ordered, Lord Ques did, oh yes.
Speaker 4: So the verbal argument then becomes a physical situation where
Speaker 4: he's actually shoving some of the flight attendants, and then
Speaker 4: he makes a dash towards the cockpit because of course
Speaker 4: the captain is going to be very interested in his
Speaker 4: particular problem, and they stop him, and then all of
Speaker 4: a sudden they turn that airplane around. They're four hours
Speaker 4: into flight over the Atlantic Ocean back to JFK's It
Speaker 4: was closest airport they could get to so for American airlines.
Speaker 4: So you come back, you land, the demand is taking off, detained,
Speaker 4: I hope, arrested, and passengers will put up overnight. Sixteen
Speaker 4: hours after they left the first time, they're back on
Speaker 4: the airplane and then headed back to Milan. So it
Speaker 4: just goes to show it takes, you know, and there's
Speaker 4: people in Italy that are waiting for that aircraft to
Speaker 4: get there for them to take to wherever that next
Speaker 4: segment was going to be. So you've got somebody that's
Speaker 4: not only impacting everybody that's on a flight, but people
Speaker 4: that are waiting on that aircraft at the next destination.
Speaker 4: And think of the people that were on their way
Speaker 4: to a wedding or reunion or you know, my family
Speaker 4: members on life support. I've got to get there before
Speaker 4: they pass away. And you've got this absolute moron, this
Speaker 4: acting up on this flight that is causing every other
Speaker 4: passenger on board to suffer as a result.
Speaker 2: Oh you know, I don't care if I got a
Speaker 2: deadline or a layover or anything. I'm just I'm gonna
Speaker 2: be just just insanely angry just.
Speaker 1: Because you know, I'm being held up by this jerk. Period.
Speaker 1: End of story. You don't have think much further than that.
Speaker 1: It's like you, one guy caused all of this because
Speaker 1: of a meal that you were served. It's airplane food.
Speaker 1: For God's sake, it's gonna suck regardless of what they.
Speaker 4: Feed you, but he wanted the less sucky kind. I think,
Speaker 4: yeah right, It just but the idea of when it
Speaker 4: became a security situation, that's when everything was off. Because
Speaker 4: the airlines have very clearly defined protocol. When you know
Speaker 4: there's no air marshall on board, they were calling for
Speaker 4: any law enforcement officers or military that were on board
Speaker 4: to assist because they were having a difficult time at
Speaker 4: first to contain the individual. And every time I fly,
Speaker 4: I'll say hello to the lead flight attendant and let
Speaker 4: her let he or see know where I'm seated, just
Speaker 4: in case he needed an extra set of hands, because
Speaker 4: a lot of times you don't want to announce over
Speaker 4: the intercom, you know, do we have any law enforcement
Speaker 4: because I mean that's going to really start to bring
Speaker 4: people out thinking something's wrong. And if they can just
Speaker 4: come back and whisper if it's a medical emergency to
Speaker 4: a doctor or nurse, or if they've got someone on
Speaker 4: their law enforcement or whatever that can help a situation,
Speaker 4: they want to do that. So it's a little bit,
Speaker 4: you know, let's telegraphed across the cabin, but they were
Speaker 4: calling for help to try to get this guy subdued
Speaker 4: and restrained. They were able to do so. And then,
Speaker 4: of course because of that one person, I mean, vacations
Speaker 4: and all those kinds of things.
Speaker 2: And it happens, and I think you might open yourself
Speaker 2: up to a passenger induced beat down as well.
Speaker 1: But I just to reserve my judgment.
Speaker 4: Technically, we're only allowed to restrain, you can restrain forcefully.
Speaker 2: So yes, indeed, all right, how about boycotting airline because
Speaker 2: they're cooperating with Immigrations and Customs officials.
Speaker 4: Well, we got the way. Little Airlines. They're the airline
Speaker 4: that has been hired as a charter flight to help
Speaker 4: the homeland security as far as their ice transportation for
Speaker 4: the deportation of people that are being escorted out of
Speaker 4: the country, a lot of them being you know, criminals
Speaker 4: and other types of things. And there are groups around
Speaker 4: the country that are saying, we are going to boycott
Speaker 4: this airline because they're involved in something we don't agree with.
Speaker 4: And you have the airline that flies to several cities
Speaker 4: that you have where the democratic leadership of those cities
Speaker 4: are saying, look, we're giving this airline some subsidies and
Speaker 4: assistance in order to be here, and we want those
Speaker 4: subsidies to be removed because we don't like what they
Speaker 4: are doing. And of course the CEO for the airline says, look,
Speaker 4: if it's not us, as someone else, we're going to
Speaker 4: take the business because it's going to help our business
Speaker 4: and allow us to continue to help you know, people
Speaker 4: around the country as we fly because they're regularly scheduled airline.
Speaker 4: But if it wasn't, then would be somebody else. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so yeah, they've got a boycott and you know, I
Speaker 4: we'll see where it goes or doesn't go. But it
Speaker 4: seems like the CEO is pretty much a look, I
Speaker 4: don't care, but this is what we're going to do
Speaker 4: because A it needs to be done and be you know,
Speaker 4: if it's not us, it's going to be someone else.
Speaker 1: Fair enough, Well, we'll bring you right back on.
Speaker 2: Another couple of stories to run by emotional support animal
Speaker 2: story and then oh, look, I have one more. An
Speaker 2: idiot passenger try to open a door in fly plus
Speaker 2: hub delays one more with Jay Ratliffe. Be right back,
Speaker 2: K forty eighth and five pair CD Talk Station, Ryan.
Speaker 1: Thomas, Jay Ratliffe wrapping up our aviation segment here, I
Speaker 1: understand an emotional support animal cause a bit of a
Speaker 1: problem for a passenger. And we've had all kinds of
Speaker 1: crazy stories about emotional support animals. What kind of emotional
Speaker 1: support animal was it this time? Jay?
Speaker 4: It was a parent one and she was flying Frontier
Speaker 4: JFK to San Juan, Puerto Rico, and she had all
Speaker 4: the documentation everything that Frontier required, so she was allowed
Speaker 4: to take this rather large bird as her support animal
Speaker 4: on board the flight down to Puerto Rico. She's coming
Speaker 4: back and the agents there say you can't take a
Speaker 4: parrot on our flight, it's too big. And she's like,
Speaker 4: wait a minute, I flew Frontier down here, and they said, well, look,
Speaker 4: all you got to do is go to our website.
Speaker 4: It clearly states that no large birds can be accepted
Speaker 4: as you know, emotional sport animals, so you just have
Speaker 4: to leave it behind. And she's like, I'm not leaving
Speaker 4: my pet slash emotional support animal behind. So she was
Speaker 4: looking a Frontier to do something about the situation that
Speaker 4: they created. And yeah, the last word I've not heard
Speaker 4: if they've got it worked out. But she was in
Speaker 4: essence staying in Puerto Rico till they got it worked out.
Speaker 2: Well, if you've got attached to a parrot, and I
Speaker 2: know a lot of people are are there's things live
Speaker 2: eighty five one hundred years and oh yeah yeah, so
Speaker 2: you know, yes.
Speaker 4: And then if you know a lot of people look
Speaker 4: at these, you know, pets as children type of thing,
Speaker 4: and the idea of just leaving it behind is no
Speaker 4: well one, it's a ridiculous situation, but or a suggestion.
Speaker 4: But yeah, that's what somebody said. I suspect Frontier management
Speaker 4: probably didn't think that was the most proper thing to say.
Speaker 2: Well, real quick, I saw this morning. I always check
Speaker 2: aviation news and this one on Simplyflying dot com. Before
Speaker 2: you and I talk, Frontier Airline's flight had turned back
Speaker 2: to Denver after an unruly passenger attempted to open the
Speaker 2: door on the Airbus A three twenty mid flight to
Speaker 2: turn back. What I mean, you know, I guess people
Speaker 2: become unhinged on some level. Maybe they're mentally challenged when
Speaker 2: they get on, but you know, opening a door mid flight,
Speaker 2: well done.
Speaker 4: Trying to because you and I both know that they
Speaker 4: can't because once the air is pressurized, it's not going
Speaker 4: to happen. But that's the third grab the handle and
Speaker 4: give it a pull story that I've had. In the
Speaker 4: last two weeks, We've had three flights where people have
Speaker 4: become irritated to the point that they have actually gone
Speaker 4: up to the emergency door exit and they've tried to
Speaker 4: jerk the handle. Now, if people are not aware of
Speaker 4: the fact that the door can't be opened, obviously you're
Speaker 4: gonna have people freaking out thinking they're about to die.
Speaker 4: So you've got people diving on the individual trying to
Speaker 4: make sure that they stay away from the door. And yeah,
Speaker 4: in fact, we had one guy in a flight that
Speaker 4: tried to do it. They moved him to a seat
Speaker 4: away from it, and he tried to do it twice
Speaker 4: on the same flight. So you know, it's just people
Speaker 4: that are acting this kind of way induce panic, and
Speaker 4: of course they'll never be allowed to fly on that
Speaker 4: particular airline again, and they could be charged for inciting panic.
Speaker 4: But most of the time the airlines do not even
Speaker 4: pursue that. All they're told is, you know, you're not
Speaker 4: gonna be flying us again, and they leave it. And
Speaker 4: other than that, they may and should be getting a
Speaker 4: fine from the Federal Aviation miministration for failure to abide
Speaker 4: by the instructions of a uniform crew member, which can
Speaker 4: be ten or twenty thousand dollars, if not more. So,
Speaker 4: it's not gonna be something they're not gonna have some
Speaker 4: consequences for. But obviously you wish it was more than
Speaker 4: what it was.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, and speaking of consequences, at the bottom of the website.
Speaker 2: Where I found this, they have a it's an image.
Speaker 2: It's you know, the Halloween costumes. It's the Unruly Passenger
Speaker 2: Halloween costume, and the it's a depiction of a guy
Speaker 2: who's got duct tape all around them and zip ties
Speaker 2: and the package includes it's the Spooky Unruly Passenger, includes
Speaker 2: duct tape, zip tie cuffs, cancel tickets, fines, unemployment application costs,
Speaker 2: thirty seven thousand dollars.
Speaker 4: Oh, easily, easily and yeah, and probably some divorce papers too. Yeah.
Speaker 4: One of the better images you can do is do
Speaker 4: a Google search of an airline passenger that was duct
Speaker 4: taped to a seat. They duct taped his mouth and
Speaker 4: I mean they must have used two a duct tape
Speaker 4: on this poor guy. And it's it's it's it's yeah,
Speaker 4: it's probably the poster chilt of why you don't want
Speaker 4: to act up on a flight.
Speaker 2: No, and then there's that pesky fine, all right, we
Speaker 2: got to close out as we always do with hub delays.
Speaker 2: How's it looking out there for air travel today, Jay.
Speaker 4: Ratliff, You know, we've got some obviously weather headed towards
Speaker 4: the Northeast, and I think Minneapolis has already seen some delays,
Speaker 4: but it's going to be Washington, d C, Philadelphia, New York,
Speaker 4: maybe Boston by the end of the day. But in essence,
Speaker 4: if you're flying anywhere to the Northeast, expect some delays.
Speaker 4: Certainly expect some turbulence where we're going to be seeing
Speaker 4: some some rough weather, not dangerous, just uncomfortable. Make sure
Speaker 4: you've got your seatbelt fastened about you and get to
Speaker 4: the airport early if you're flying to or through the Northeast,
Speaker 4: because we will see some delays that are going to
Speaker 4: be kind of plaguing us for the rest of the day.
Speaker 2: Sound advice and Jay Raylife. As always, Jay, love having
Speaker 2: you on the program. I hope you have a wonderful
Speaker 2: week man, and I'll look forward to next Thursday and
Speaker 2: another Oh no, I'll be gone next Thursday, I'm taking
Speaker 2: the week off.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it was, it was, It was on my calendar.
Speaker 4: Joe made sure that I had all that stuff written
Speaker 4: down and recorded. So I hope you're doing something fun.
Speaker 2: And relaxing mental health week off. I'm just so exhausted with,
Speaker 2: you know, the stories I have to deal with every
Speaker 2: once in while. I just got to take some time
Speaker 2: off and decompress.
Speaker 4: That's what I'll be doing next, I said Mike McConnell
Speaker 4: of text, saying hey, you're ready to come back yet
Speaker 4: after two days being retired, after significance paused for effect,
Speaker 4: it was like, no, I'm fine, getting a lot more
Speaker 4: rest now.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I saw more emotion on his face last week than
Speaker 2: i'd seen anytime I ran into in the hall. And actually,
Speaker 2: because if you if you know Mike, he's a very
Speaker 2: emotionless kind of guy. If he's happy, you're sad, just
Speaker 2: has the same look on his face. I actually saw
Speaker 2: what really appeared to be a smile on his face
Speaker 2: multiple times throughout last week.
Speaker 1: I even commented to him on it. He got a
Speaker 1: big grin on his face when I said it was and.
Speaker 4: It was good to see. It was good to see
Speaker 4: you that day as well.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm so glad you stopped then because I
Speaker 1: told you to.
Speaker 4: Be in trouble. If I hadn't, You're right made it
Speaker 4: a point.
