WEBVTT 1 00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:13.759 Five o five the five k r C, the detalk station. 2 00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:28.760 Happy Monday. 3 00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:32.039 I'm the dude, man. 4 00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.479 I'm Brian Thomas. I'm not the dude. Happy Monday to 5 00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:38.000 you folks. If you had a wonderful weekend. Hey, I 6 00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:41.759 have a sixty three today, you're at the top of 7 00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:44.840 that our news the record sixty six degrees from eighteen 8 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.079 eighty three. Do we have global warming pre industrial revolution 9 00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:49.359 going on back then or something? 10 00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:50.479 M hm. 11 00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:56.520 Oh, I'm sorry, that's right. It's a climate change anyway, 12 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:04.840 fun statistic that one anyway, coming up seven twenty the 13 00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.480 former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smithman 14 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.079 with the Smither Event. Always appreciate having Christopher on the program, 15 00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.040 so thoughts, comments, insights, and quite often going on a 16 00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.560 tear Christopher does. And every Monday at seven twenties when 17 00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:19.040 we get to hear from him, and today is no 18 00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:21.480 different than that money Monday with Brian James. It is Monday, 19 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:26.719 Brian James, Every Monday at eight oh five. Tariffs, tariffs, tariffs, 20 00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:31.879 tariff tariffs. Also among other topics with Brian James, fed 21 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:38.719 says it's stay and put GDP Slow's four point twenty 22 00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.719 five four point five percent, more and more young families 23 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:44.840 unable to afford a home, which is a real sad 24 00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.959 state of affairs, and that is just a practical reality. 25 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.280 Karrisee Caris Sincidiva and the studio at eight forty or 26 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.959 on the program at eight forty, always enjoy helping out 27 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.640 the cincinnti VA spreading the news and the information about 28 00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:02.319 the benefits of signing up for you your VA coverage. 29 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:06.280 So it's more than just medical. It's especially medical care. 30 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.159 People kind of view it as medical insurance, but no, 31 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:12.080 it's actual care. So VA does good things for our 32 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.240 local veterans. And not all vas are built the same. 33 00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:16.639 Not al of them as well oiled a machine. And 34 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:19.599 I know the Cincinniva is not perfect, but it really 35 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:21.360 is striving to do the best it can for the 36 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:23.919 American veterans. And I truly appreciate him for that work 37 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.400 and that effort. So I also appreciate hearing from you. 38 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.280 You've got a comment, maybe something about the tariffs. I 39 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.080 do have a feeling that's going to impact all of this. 40 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:34.479 Five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight 41 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.199 hundred eight two to three talk found five fifty on 42 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:40.520 at T funds. And in case you're looking for clarity 43 00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:45.879 on why Trump is imposing the tariffs or has imposed 44 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:49.479 the tariffs, twenty five percent additional tariffs and imports from 45 00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.639 Canada and Mexico ten percent on additional teriffs from China. 46 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.560 It's all about and I got this statement from the 47 00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:03.120 White House, all about illegal immigration and entanyl. And if 48 00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:05.240 you stop for a moment, you think about the chaos 49 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:06.960 that's going to ensue, and oh my god, the price 50 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:08.639 is going to go through the roof. And you know, 51 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.479 our relationships with Chai, with Canada and Mexico going to 52 00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:14.879 be strained, already strained with China, hell, probably couldn't be 53 00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:22.520 strained anymore. It's all about fentanyl and illegal immigration. And 54 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.560 they have to ask myself out loud, and I'll ask 55 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.520 you out loud, maybe even answer to this, Why in 56 00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:30.080 the hell would in Canada and Mexico be interested in 57 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:35.400 helping stop the production and in an importation of fentanyl. 58 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:39.599 Just ignore the migrant situation for a moment, because of course, 59 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:43.439 if we had really strong border security, and I recognize 60 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.639 the number of miles along the border between the United 61 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:48.879 States and Canada, the United States and Mexico make it 62 00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:51.960 a little difficult to secure it one hundred percent. But 63 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:55.520 the Biden administration didn't do anything whatsoever to secure the border. 64 00:03:56.240 --> 00:04:01.000 In fact, facilitated people coming into the country CVP one 65 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.599 application where you could just apply for coming into the 66 00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.439 United States and then get flown directly from your country 67 00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:11.560 into the United States. That's not border security. But we 68 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.560 could do something about the border. And I don't think 69 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.800 it's possible to stop the flow of drugs into the 70 00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:20.560 country given that. I mean, hell, a drone can carry 71 00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.279 quite a bit of a payload if you flew a 72 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.120 drone from Mexico over the wall, if one existed, then 73 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.360 you wouldn't have any problem getting drugs into the country. 74 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.720 But ignoring those practical realities, why wouldn't those two governments 75 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:39.920 want to help us stop that? I think it's an illustration, 76 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.439 at least in Mexico, the fact that the cartels pretty 77 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.480 much run the country, and they of course make billions 78 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.680 of dollars. We obviously have a strong demand here in 79 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:52.720 our country. What is with everybody in the United States? 80 00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:55.639 What you get all whacked out on drugs? For anyway, 81 00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.639 it's cocaine for a long time, you know, the cartels 82 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:04.079 built the cocaine trade, and now it's fentanyl. Unbelievably deadly 83 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:08.920 stuff that is anyway, Donald Trump calling in an emergency 84 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:14.199 situation international Emergency Economic Powers Act. That's what he asserted, 85 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:18.279 because of yeah, fentanyl and immigration. John taking bold action 86 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.000 to hold Mexico, Canada, and China accountable for the promises 87 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:24.720 of halting illegal immigration and stopping poisonous ventanyl and other 88 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:28.399 drugs from flowing into our country. He said. Chinese officials 89 00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.439 have failed to take the actions necessary to stem the 90 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:36.040 flow of precursor chemicals to known criminal cartels, which they do. 91 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:38.759 They send them directly and the cartels put it together 92 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.199 and ship it off to the United States. Canada is 93 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:44.920 involved in that too. According to the release, a recent 94 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:50.120 study recognized Canada's heightened domestic production of fentanyl and it's 95 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:55.000 growing footprint within international narcotics distribution. Doesn't Canada have a 96 00:05:55.040 --> 00:06:01.319 vested interest in putting a halt to this? I just 97 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.360 don't understand the reason we have to go down this road. 98 00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:08.439 I can't we all agree that fentanyl bad, fentan bad. 99 00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:16.680 I just don't understand. Tariff they said, we're remain in 100 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.680 effect until such time as drugs in particular fentanyl and 101 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:24.360 all illegal aliens. Stop this invasion of our country. It's 102 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.519 got an exclamation point out of it. It's statment from 103 00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:32.199 Donald Trump. So what's gonna happen? 104 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:32.399 Then? 105 00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:41.240 Among other items that will become more expensive? Are you ready? 106 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:46.240 Jeene Well and Wall Street Journal reporting cherry tomatoes, And 107 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.560 I might add the Thomas household had a bumper crop 108 00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:52.040 of cherry tomatoes over in the garden last year, so 109 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.639 much so that we have jars and jars and jars 110 00:06:56.079 --> 00:07:02.160 filled with tomato sauce made from cherry tomatoes, tomato juice 111 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.120 made from cherry tomatoes. You may think cherry tomatoes, Actually 112 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.680 they're really really good. You get the right brand and 113 00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:10.959 they have that sweetness that you know full sized tomatoes have. 114 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.680 But cherry tomatoes on the list. Canada big supply to 115 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:21.759 the of cherry tomatoes. I guess us Canadian producers grow 116 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:26.000 them in giant greenhouses near the United States border. Mexico 117 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:32.959 also supplies tomatoes. Economist warning the domestic producers will be 118 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:37.839 tempted to increase their prices to match price on imports. Yes, 119 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:41.480 we do grow them here and they're easy to grow, folks. 120 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:46.680 Will I will tell you that Tonka trucks, Joe, You're 121 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:48.319 gonna be able to handle a ten percent increase on 122 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:54.279 Tonka trucks coming from China? Do you think so? Ten 123 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.319 percent import on tariff on Chinese goods will raise the 124 00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:00.639 retail price of the Tonka trucks. With over a million 125 00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.439 of those Tonker trucks sold in the United States each year, 126 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:08.439 every one of them made in Ohio. Currently priced twenty 127 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:11.480 nine to ninety nine, they might rise to about thirty 128 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.000 four to ninety nine, according to a chief executive of 129 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:19.600 Basic Fund, the toys manufacturer guy named Jay Foreman. Interestingly enough, 130 00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:21.600 it's not just Tonker trucks. More than eighty percent of 131 00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:24.480 toys sold in the United States are manufactured in China, 132 00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:31.519 data shared by the Toy Association, which is described as 133 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.879 an industry group. Maple syrup just tapped the maple trees 134 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.960 in the Thomas Yard today. You can do that. It's 135 00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.440 pretty simple to do. We've been making maple syrup now 136 00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:44.879 for a couple of years. Tap the trees, get a bucket, 137 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.279 boil it down, and you've got unbelievably wonderful maple syrup. 138 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:51.600 So if you don't want to go to the store 139 00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:55.960 and pay a lot for the tariff Canadian maple syrup. 140 00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:59.000 More than sixty percent of Canada's production is exported into 141 00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:03.200 the United States. Canada and the United States are the 142 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:07.840 only two countries that produce commercial scale level maple syrup. 143 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:09.679 Now you don't have to go with commercial scale. You 144 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:14.120 got a maple tree in your backyard, tap it. It's 145 00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:19.879 not difficult. It's also fun. I mean, how many people 146 00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:23.879 out there can say, hey, I made my own maple syrup. Tequila? 147 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.879 Uh oh yeah, we are the largest market for Mexican tequila, 148 00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:31.519 apparently much more popular now than it used to be. 149 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:39.879 And uh oh, saygabydy or avocado toast. More than eighty 150 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:42.559 percent of US avocados come from Mexico. Cord of the 151 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:45.840 US Department of Agriculture in Mexico provides about half. Here's 152 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:49.200 a more troubling figure. Mexico provides about half of the 153 00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:56.039 United States fresh produce imports, and, notably, given the climate 154 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:59.759 difference between Mexico and the United States, described as a 155 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:07.440 particularly important supplier of produce in the winter time. So 156 00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:10.279 undoubtedly your grocery bill is going to get higher if 157 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:12.679 you spend any time in the produce department of your 158 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:18.279 local grocery, sport, smartphones from China. Of course, now you know, 159 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:20.120 Trump's not the only one. We have tariffs on the 160 00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:25.279 on industrial goods from China. Biden administration also plays tariffs 161 00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:31.120 on industrial goods. However, most consumer goods like smartphones were 162 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:36.240 spared from the additional import tariffs in what the journal 163 00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:39.080 describes as an effort to avoid the wrath of American 164 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:42.080 consumers and across the board. Ten percent tariff on goods 165 00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.759 made from China, which is what it is, will also 166 00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:47.159 include smartphones for the first time, and maybe it will 167 00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:50.320 cause price increases. I think you can say possibly or 168 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.720 maybe and strike that from the sentence and say they will. 169 00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:57.960 This was a particularly funny reference because you know, you 170 00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:00.519 could probably pick out a litany of fact thousands of 171 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:05.200 different products which are going to be impacted by the tariffs. Well, 172 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:14.720 the Street Jaranoil identified sledge hammers made in China. Sledge 173 00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:17.720 Hammers made in China already face an import tariff of 174 00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.440 twenty five percent when they're imported here in the United States. 175 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:23.799 The additional tariff will of course raised the price even further. However, 176 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:31.360 take a quick look there are several sledgehammer models made 177 00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:34.759 here in the United States. You needn't rely on Chinese 178 00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:41.879 made sledge hammer bless America all because of fentanyl and 179 00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:48.039 illegal immigration. Does anybody think there's any other perhaps reasons 180 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:50.600 to want to engage in this tariff war that we 181 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:53.480 now have going on between Canada, Mexico and China. And 182 00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:58.440 of course Canada Mexico already renounced retaliatory tariffs over the 183 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:05.039 weekend in retaliation for the ones that Trump announced, So 184 00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:11.080 nobody saw that coming. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on 185 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.480 his way out of office. The actions taken today by 186 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.799 the White House split US apart instead of bringing us together. 187 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.840 They are placing matching twenty five percent tariffs up to 188 00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:26.519 one hundred and fifty five billion dollars in US imports, 189 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:31.120 including alcohol and fruit. Kentucky bourbon producers probably a little 190 00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:34.600 upset about that. Trudeau, warning of economic pain due to 191 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:39.159 the tariffs, encouraged Canadians to choose Canadian products and services 192 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:45.039 rather than American ones. Right, It's gonna have real consequences 193 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:47.440 for people workers on both sides of our border. He said, 194 00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:50.320 we don't want to be here, we didn't ask for this, 195 00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:53.159 but we will not back down in standing up for 196 00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:56.679 both Canadians and for the incredible successful relationship between Canada 197 00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:00.120 the United States. For her part, Mexican President and then 198 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:07.360 Claudia Scheinbaum also ordered retaliatory tariffs, saying, we categoryally reject 199 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:11.159 the Right House slander that the American government has alliances 200 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:15.320 with or that the Mexican government has alliances with criminal organizations, 201 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:18.960 as well as any intentions of meddling in our territory. Well, 202 00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:23.639 I'm surprised she's able to say that through a straight face. 203 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.039 Nobody's paid attention to the situation deteriorating as it has 204 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:33.600 been deteriorating for decades. Has to recognize the Mexican cartels 205 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:35.320 pretty much had the upper hand when it comes to 206 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:39.000 who controls Mexico. If you're a politician running for office 207 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:41.399 in Mexico, or if you're an elected official in Mexico 208 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.360 and you take a stand against the cartels in any way, 209 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:48.799 shape or form, you end up dead. It's like a 210 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:54.879 foregone conclusion. Shinebold says the United States government's agencies wanted 211 00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:59.480 to address the serious fentanyl consumption in their country, they 212 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:02.480 could fight the sale of drugs on the streets of 213 00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:05.879 their major cities, which they don't do. And the laundering 214 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:08.879 of money that is illegal activity generates that has done 215 00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:13.440 so much to harm its population. I can't disagree completely 216 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:17.919 with that. You know that whole defund the police movement 217 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:22.320 and the decriminalization of drug use, You think that's had 218 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:27.000 an impact on increasing or decreasing the demand for drugs 219 00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:29.919 in our country. If you defund the police and not 220 00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:32.320 as many officers on the street, given that there's the 221 00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:35.600 ratio of officers to humanity in any given city, even 222 00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:40.799 in the most highest employment of officers point in history, 223 00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:43.000 like if we had a full contingent, it would only 224 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:45.759 be like eleven hundred cincin anty police officers to deal 225 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.480 with like roughly two hundred and fifty three hundred thousand people. 226 00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:53.600 How could you possibly control all of the drug activity 227 00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:59.759 in any given neighborhood with that ratio? You can't. Maybe 228 00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.159 if our demand went down, maybe if we reflected on 229 00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:05.480 ourselves as a society and realizing we're propping up all 230 00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:08.279 of this criminal enterprise and we're now in a trade 231 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:11.799 war with Canada and Mexico as well as China because 232 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:14.240 we just can't say no to the drugs. Five twenty 233 00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:16.759 fifty five case detalk stations stick around more to talk 234 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:19.519 about your Phone calls are always welcome, so feel free 235 00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:22.679 to call up at the bright back with age a 236 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:43.679 lot of people.

You're you're not You're not you? 239 00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:58.440 You did avoid the tax.

Awesome lyrics. That song has awesome lyrics. Anyhow, 270 00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:33.279 Apparently no one wants to talk to me, So I 271 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:35.200 do local stories. Dave had or making it into the 272 00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:36.319 local stories. Look at that. 273 00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:37.640 Yeah. 274 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:40.400 In addition to Tech Friday interest, I t Dave had 275 00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:43.279 results to the mayor of Fort Wright, Kentucky, and he 276 00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:48.599 is aware of the speeding problem Amsterdam Road in Fort Wright. 277 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:51.279 Apparently everyone loves to speed on it. There's some stats 278 00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:54.119 on it too, So I live very close to there, 279 00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:55.759 walk in the neighborhood all the time, and I see 280 00:17:55.799 --> 00:18:00.240 it firsthand. So recently the issue was brought up to 281 00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.400 him by multiple residents who live on Amsterdam Ron. He said, 282 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:05.160 a lot of residents in the area are frustrated. I 283 00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:07.480 hear the complaints and I know they're legit because I 284 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:12.119 see it myself. Speed limit Amsterdam Road twenty five miles 285 00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:16.000 per hour. Apparently everyone driving more than forty miles per hour, 286 00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:18.599 and they've also notes that they blow the stoplights. Are 287 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:21.799 the stop signs off? Studied by the police department last 288 00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:25.279 year found that during one week in January seventy, roughly 289 00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:30.200 seventy percent of drivers were speeding. Similar study conducted in August, 290 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:34.720 number of speeding drivers decrease, still showed nearly a quarter. 291 00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:37.960 We're going over the speed limit. I just said, the 292 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:41.000 biggest people is people. The biggest problem is people during 293 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.480 the stop signs, says, people don't even tap the brakes. 294 00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:47.000 Sometimes they go right through the stop signs. Growing tired 295 00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:48.799 of the problem, he is now working with police to 296 00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:51.240 increase patrols in the area. So we just want people 297 00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:53.519 to slow down and think about safety again for themselves 298 00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:56.680 and others Fort Right Police, saying that there is a 299 00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:00.599 heavy police presence now and it will be seen in 300 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:02.799 the area for the foreseeable future. So if you're getting 301 00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:05.119 ready to drive down Amstein Avenue, keep your eyes peeled 302 00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:07.599 for the cops because they may be there. Potter City 303 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:09.759 wants to make it clear not to meet some of 304 00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:12.519 a sort of quota. He said. The city doesn't benefit 305 00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:16.759 financially from police citations, saying almost none of that money 306 00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:19.440 comes back to the City of Fort Wright, simply a 307 00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:22.160 matter of keeping people safe. Quote, let's not create a 308 00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.759 situation where someone gets injured or killed simply due to 309 00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:28.960 bad driving behavior when it's something that's so simple to stop. 310 00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:35.480 Sounds right. Peter Crabel sitting in the parking lot of 311 00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:41.119 Coraine Township Walgreens when a bullet went through the back 312 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:46.720 of his van and into his liver stray shot fired 313 00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:51.160 by a publicly unidentified publicly unidentified suspect in the double 314 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:54.480 killing of two brothers across the street at Popeye'es over 315 00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:57.799 a couple of weeks ago.

I guess after 319 00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:10.440 his liver had been punctioned by the air bullet. Two 320 00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:12.599 women came to his aid after he entered the Walgreens, 321 00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:15.039 applying pressure to the wound while he waited for paramedics 322 00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:19.920 to arrive. Grab told the women applying the pressure to 323 00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:22.119 tell his wife, Sander he loved her, as he didn't 324 00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:23.839 know if he was going to make it to the hospital. 325 00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:28.920 Wow brought to the ICU at University of Sincinni Medical Center, 326 00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:32.079 where his liver and a cracked rib had been healing 327 00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:34.680 from the gunshot, and his gallbladder had to be removed. 328 00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:36.359 He said. After a couple of surgeries and a lot 329 00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:39.599 of procedures, I become stable and getting better. So I 330 00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:41.880 remember everything from the bullet to the operating room. I 331 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.079 woke up feeling blessed to be alive. Amen.

Police haven't yet released a motive 340 00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:15.759 or announced any arrest in the shooting. However, court records 341 00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:19.039 show that Rashawn Robinson publicly expressed his fears of being 342 00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:24.440 killed in a court filing years before his death. Spokes 343 00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:28.880 Version confirmed Crable was not an intended target in the shooting, 344 00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:31.640 but he says he's facing months of rehab after he's 345 00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:38.000 discharge from the hospital.

Boone County judge has ousted all Union 356 00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:21.559 City commissioners, avoiding the commission's in tired November general election 357 00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:25.359 after claims of election fraud.

The attempt 362 00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:43.599 came after buying fout a lawsuit contesting the results of 363 00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:48.559 the November election.

BiiN has requested a new citywide election instead. 371 00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:18.400 Of appointments because due to scheduling, the appointments will continue 372 00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:23.720 until twenty twenty seven. Brugerman agreed with Byn's lawsuit claims 373 00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:26.799 that hundreds of illegal votes in Boone County changed the 374 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:30.319 outcome of the commission race, which he lost. Five candidates 375 00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:33.160 running for four open seats. Buying lost by sixty five votes. 376 00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:36.599 His lawsuit claims that more than five hundred people illegally 377 00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:40.799 voted in Union Precinct one and Union Precinct four. EECE 378 00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:45.000 Judge Bergermann and his judgment quote there could be as 379 00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:47.640 many as eight hundred invalid votes between Union one and four. 380 00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:50.839 Some parties contend that nine hundred and thirty two ballots 381 00:23:50.839 --> 00:23:55.240 were cast. It could be equally assumed that all city 382 00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:58.359 ballots had been given to the twelve hundred and fifty 383 00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:01.039 nine non city voters. In any event that disparity is 384 00:24:01.079 --> 00:24:04.920 greater than five hundred and ninety nine votes, Find's attorney, 385 00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:07.880 Steve Murgerley said after the ruling he plans to reach 386 00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:10.440 out to the Assistant Attorney General nominee for the Civil 387 00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:18.200 Rights Division and request a federal audit and investigation. Huh 388 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:23.599 voter fraud Joe, It does exist someplace five thirty six 389 00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:27.279 many five krs de talk station.

Five one three eight four seven 414 00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:45.880 zero zero one nine. You know it's coming once again. 415 00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:50.160 Five one three eight four seven zero zero one nine. 416 00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:53.519 This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station. 417 00:25:54.160 --> 00:25:55.200 Your hands were. 418 00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:57.559 Comfortably one for about Fair City Talk station. Yeah, Rick, 419 00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:01.079 I know that Trump's tariffs are the retalia and the predicate, 420 00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:04.319 as he stated in this announcement over and over again, 421 00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:08.039 is for illegal immigration and fentanyl, and I must observe. 422 00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:11.000 You know, like I said, it would be really easy. 423 00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:14.640 I would think, at least to take some efforts by 424 00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:17.880 the Mexican government's, Canadian governments and the horse of Chinese 425 00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:21.160 if they were interested in it. I would expect cooperation 426 00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:26.519 from Mexico and Canada. Mexico's got the cartel situation they 427 00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:28.640 have to deal with prevents them from actually doing anything 428 00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:30.480 about it. Canada, I don't know, but they say that 429 00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:34.359 fentanyl production is increased in Canada as well. But as 430 00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:38.240 far as Chinese is concerned, I mean, selling fentanyl precursors 431 00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:42.720 to Mexican cartels is an act of war. I think 432 00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:46.680 they enjoy and are gleefully watching the damage that's being 433 00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:50.079 done to our country with this massive amount of death 434 00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:55.480 and destruction and dependence that fentanyl has created. Aug what 435 00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:57.720 are the points it was made in Trump's announcement last 436 00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:03.799 year Customs and Border Protection handed more than twenty one 437 00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:08.279 thousand pounds of fentanyl at our borders, enough to kill 438 00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:12.119 I'm just staring at all at this figure. Enough to 439 00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:21.319 kill more than four billion people, and that's what they found. 440 00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:26.240 A lot of it's making it into the streets. Yeah, 441 00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:31.359 it's is. It is a subtle, nefarious, that yet genuine 442 00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:35.759 act of war. It's like the the info wars that 443 00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:38.039 we're engaged with, and the gathering up of data and 444 00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:40.759 the attacking of our computer systems and the installation of 445 00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:43.240 nefarious software so they can flip a switch and shut 446 00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:47.799 us all down a moment's notice. Anyhow, Yeah, I'm aware 447 00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:53.359 of that. Over the stack is stupid Detroit, a priest 448 00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:59.640 who hosts an exorcism podcast. Thank you, Joe, That's exactly 449 00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:03.119 what I was thinking. Facing charges after he allegedly took 450 00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:06.000 a piece of hair from a teenage girl's head and 451 00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:10.440 used it to floss his teeth. There's no flag for us, amen, 452 00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:13.279 and there isn't for this, one, prosecutor said January twenty second. 453 00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:18.279 The criminal complaint about Michigan priest Father Carlos Martins of Detroit, 454 00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:21.440 that he placed hair of a miner in his mouth 455 00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:24.519 in an insulting or provoking nature.

And he is? 465 00:28:58.119 --> 00:29:03.160 I see his head bald and Martin's made jokes about 466 00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:04.920 what he used to have hair, and then he grabbed 467 00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:06.920 the thirteen year old girl's hair and put it in 468 00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:14.599 his mouth. Okay, I guess People magazine reporting on this 469 00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:17.440 when the boy told police that Martin then allegedly proceeded 470 00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:20.000 to make a flossing motion with the girl's hair and 471 00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:23.759 later that day sat behind the girl in the pew 472 00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:30.880 and made growling noises. Diocese a Joli had released a 473 00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:33.319 statement about the incident and said they ordered Martin's to 474 00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:37.359 quote depart from our parish and out of our diocese 475 00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:41.200 close quote taking it to custody January seventh, and charged 476 00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:50.400 with battery.

The grade Impaler 549 00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:19.840 when he starts sticking pikes down the road to his kingdom. 550 00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:25.760 Vlad the Impaler, Yes, as a warning to other people 551 00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:28.760 who might consider doing him harm. 552 00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:34.239 Yes, are you to stick heads on the top of 553 00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:37.360 the pikes going down to each side of the road. 554 00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:40.599 That is a deterrent to these cartels. 555 00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:45.320 I suspect, but I'd like to think we have higher 556 00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:48.280 moral ground than Glad the Impaler. My recollection is he 557 00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:51.880 killed his own people and impaled them as a warning 558 00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:54.800 to other would be invaders. Look, if this guy's nut 559 00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:57.239 job enough to kill his own people and stick them 560 00:34:57.280 --> 00:35:02.039 on post as a warning, he might do worse to us. 561 00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:07.079 It's just a deterrent. It doesn't matter if it's true 562 00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:09.920 or not. It's just what they perceive it to be. 563 00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:14.360 Okay, Bobby, I know you'd like to keep your tongue 564 00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:16.000 in your cheek, and I'd like to think that's where 565 00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:17.920 it is right. Now, be careful you might pop a 566 00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:21.039 hole in it with comments like that. I can't abide 567 00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:25.559 impaling people as a deterrent. It's both parallels to be 568 00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:30.719 drawn with the the tariffs anyhow, Thank you, Bobby forty 569 00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:34.400 five seventy. We've got a brighton Colorado where a woman's 570 00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:37.400 been charged with murder after she killed her boyfriend because 571 00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:40.760 he expressed doubt about her chances of getting a job. 572 00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:44.639 Twenty nine year old Ashley began having serious issues with 573 00:35:44.679 --> 00:35:48.400 the relationship with twenty eight year old Cody Deleisa, largely 574 00:35:48.440 --> 00:35:50.840 surrounding her difficulty in finding work. According to the press 575 00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:53.119 release in the District Attorney's office there, at some point, 576 00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:55.840 White became so frustrated with the relationship that she attempted 577 00:35:55.880 --> 00:36:02.960 to drown and burn his cat well While attended a 578 00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:06.239 job interview eight August thirteenth, twenty twenty, and rode home 579 00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:09.119 in a public bus while texting Deleise about how it went. 580 00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:13.320 He apparently expressed skepticism about her chances of getting a job, 581 00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:17.000 which frustrated her. Or to the release, White met with 582 00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:19.599 a man on the bus who called himself Scott and 583 00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:22.840 asked if she was in a relationship with a man 584 00:36:23.159 --> 00:36:25.800 and whether he raped her. This doesn't make any sense 585 00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:29.039 to me. Wright responded that he had, and Scott then 586 00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:33.960 said they must kill him. White and Scott got off 587 00:36:33.960 --> 00:36:36.360 the bus together. The pair shot a gun belonging to 588 00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:39.320 Scott before making the way into White's home and confronting Delesa's. 589 00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:42.480 Scott introduced himself to de Lisa as White's brother from Texas, 590 00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:45.920 and at some point after the pair arrived at Delesea's 591 00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:48.159 he was shot twice in the head. 592 00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:50.599 That does not make it it. 593 00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:53.480 He literally does not. Joe, I just read the article 594 00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:55.639 and I'm more confused now as a human being than 595 00:36:55.679 --> 00:36:58.000 I was. I feel actually dumber for having read this. 596 00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:01.119 I had no idea, so I needed to itally. It 597 00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:03.079 is Monday, and it is in the five o'clock hour, 598 00:37:03.159 --> 00:37:05.239 still a few moments remaining in it. Four minutes to 599 00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:08.440 be specific, five fifty six. Stick around, got more to 600 00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:10.360 talk about in the six o'clock hour, and yeah, please 601 00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:12.199 feel free to call. Maybe you got something on your 602 00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:16.119 mind other than impaling people as a deterrent to outsiders. 603 00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:17.920 I'll be right back after the news. 604 00:37:18.079 --> 00:37:21.320 Covering Trump's first one hundred days every day, every day 605 00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:26.119 Promises made, promises kept. Fifty five KRS the talk. 606 00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:29.519 Station, run a business and not thinking about podcasting. 607 00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:32.599 Six oh six. Here at fifty five k r CD 608 00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:35.639 Talk Station, Brian Thomas hoping we had a really wonderful weekend. 609 00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:38.639 Happy Monday. Like it or not, we are here. Good 610 00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:40.480 day to tune in the fifty five KRC Morning Show. 611 00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:42.920 Two things usually on the agenda, and they're on today 612 00:37:43.280 --> 00:37:45.159 seven twenty with the former Vice Mayor of the City 613 00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:49.440 of Cincinnati, Christopher Smithman, and this Smither event with Monday Monday, 614 00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:51.559 Brian James. Fast forward two hours. We'll hear from Brian 615 00:37:51.639 --> 00:37:54.559 James on tariffs, talk about a little bit about those. 616 00:37:54.599 --> 00:37:57.760 In the last hour, four point twenty five to four 617 00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:03.559 point five percent to the Feds, at least insofar as 618 00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:08.719 Federal Reserve holding interest rate to four point twenty five 619 00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:12.800 to four point five percent reigns inflation a rather gross 620 00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:16.719 domestic product group two point five percent slowed slightly in 621 00:38:16.719 --> 00:38:20.280 the final quarter. We talk about that home affordability crisis 622 00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:24.440 is taking a toll on America's young adults. Sad reality 623 00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:28.480 that knows the topics of Brian James. I just appreciate 624 00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:31.440 hearing from Brian, I always appreciate hearing from U two five, three, seven, four, 625 00:38:31.480 --> 00:38:33.519 nine fifty five, eight hundred and eighty two to three 626 00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:37.920 talk and does care and the charsee cares section which 627 00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:40.880 takes place at eight forty. When we have it, We're 628 00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:45.920 going to have the Cincinntiva to talk about four significant 629 00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:50.400 Cincinnati VA facility improvements scheduled to be completed this year. 630 00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:52.079 As I pointed out, a VIA takes great care of 631 00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:55.960 the veterans and they're always trying to improve things. So 632 00:38:55.960 --> 00:38:57.960 thank God for the American veteran and I'm glad we 633 00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:00.320 have a pretty gosh darn good VA here in the 634 00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:03.679 city of Cincinnati. Not every city can say that anyway, 635 00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:08.360 Ah that bump bump bum. I saw this Alisa Finley 636 00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:10.440 article and I thought it was rather interesting. Now, I 637 00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:15.320 remember the Trump administration paused federal grants, completely paused them, 638 00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:18.559 and then of course withdrew that pause after the uproar. 639 00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:23.599 But it took a moment to I mean, did the 640 00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:26.960 pause that kind of shook the framework of a lot 641 00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:31.079 of Democrat states and Democrat cities, because well, they are 642 00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:34.760 almost entirely dependent upon you and I working out here 643 00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:39.039 in other flyover states to keep their their systems going, 644 00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:42.800 and that's what her observations were in this Democratic States 645 00:39:42.920 --> 00:39:46.360 are wards of Washington subtitle There's a reason for the 646 00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:49.599 panic over the Trump white House's temporary federal spending pause. 647 00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:55.800 New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy was complaining, fifteen percent of 648 00:39:55.840 --> 00:40:01.039 our workforce are funded by those dollars, and that in 649 00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:03.280 and of itself is a frightening thing. Lawsuit brought by 650 00:40:03.320 --> 00:40:05.760 all twenty two states with Democratic attorneys general plus the 651 00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:09.119 District of Columbia detailed a litany of programs funded by 652 00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:16.280 you and your labor in your perhaps red state. Washington 653 00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:19.679 said it received one hundred and twenty one million dollars 654 00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:23.440 last year for allergy and infects his de's disease research. 655 00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:28.639 Illinois claimed federal Medicaid funds made up sixty percent of 656 00:40:28.679 --> 00:40:35.159 its twenty twenty three spending on critical health services. New 657 00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:38.320 York Governor Kathy Hogel Washington, do you realize the consequences 658 00:40:38.360 --> 00:40:40.119 of what you've done here and you really want us 659 00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:44.320 to not fund law enforcement? Do you allow us to 660 00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:52.039 not fund roads and bridges? Lissa Finley notably interjects, well, 661 00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:58.559 what are New York state taxes for? Right the freeze 662 00:40:58.559 --> 00:41:00.440 didn't apply to the most federal dollars of float of 663 00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:04.199 states for social welfare, education, transportation, since those are based 664 00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:08.679 on statutory formulas, although the administration's original memo didn't explain 665 00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:12.199 that clearly, and on Wednesday last week, the administration recinded 666 00:41:12.199 --> 00:41:15.400 the memo after a judge blocked it. Democratic states and 667 00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:20.079 their economies depend much more on Washington than Republican states do. 668 00:41:21.159 --> 00:41:26.559 This year, New York received roughly four thousand, nine hundred 669 00:41:26.599 --> 00:41:30.920 dollars per capita from the Feds California forty three hundred dollars. 670 00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:36.000 That's two to three times as much as Florida seventeen hundred, 671 00:41:36.119 --> 00:41:40.559 Texas fifteen hundred. It's because Democratic states provide more generous 672 00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:43.599 social welfare, which is increasingly funded by Washington thanks to 673 00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:50.159 regulatory changes by yeah the Biden administration. Democratic states also 674 00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:53.719 received a disproportionate served more than one trillion with a 675 00:41:53.840 --> 00:41:56.519 te that Congress sent the state and local governments in 676 00:41:56.559 --> 00:42:01.000 twenty twenty and twenty twenty one as pandemic relief. Between 677 00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:03.559 twenty eighteen and twenty twenty two, twenty twenty two, federal 678 00:42:03.599 --> 00:42:07.079 dollars flowing to red states and local governments increased by 679 00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:12.599 five hundred and fifteen billion dollars, more than the rise 680 00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:18.159 in Social Security and medicare combined. And you know that 681 00:42:18.199 --> 00:42:20.440 we're still spending money on COVID. It seems to be 682 00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:23.920 kind of comical to me, says Most COVID funds are 683 00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:28.519 running out, though the Biden Federal Emergency Management Agency planned 684 00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:31.239 to hand out disaster relief funds to states and cities 685 00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:35.400 for pandemic quote unquote emergency spending through August of twenty 686 00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:39.039 twenty six. See this is a big scam, folks. And 687 00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:41.920 I kind of made comments and was painfully or wherever 688 00:42:41.960 --> 00:42:44.480 while it was going out. They were throwing money all 689 00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:46.719 over the place. And a lot of these democratic cities 690 00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:50.920 before COVID had run themselves into the ground with overspending. 691 00:42:51.239 --> 00:42:53.920 Look at the pension problems that Illinois faces, and New 692 00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:57.840 York and other cities the overwhelming nightmare that their budgets are. 693 00:42:57.880 --> 00:43:00.199 And oh my god, look here's COVID money from the 694 00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:03.639 federal government. Let's pay off our debts. And that's what 695 00:43:03.719 --> 00:43:06.719 was done. And here we are talking about additional pandemic 696 00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:11.000 spending through twenty twenty six, She writes. This year's Los 697 00:43:11.039 --> 00:43:13.519 Angeles City budget includes two hundred and eight point two 698 00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:23.039 million in FEMA COVID funds one city, including housing vagrants 699 00:43:23.199 --> 00:43:28.679 in hotels. What's that got to do with COVID? New 700 00:43:28.760 --> 00:43:31.039 York State's budget this year includes nearly three and a 701 00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:36.280 half billion dollars in FEMA dollars for COVID quote emergency 702 00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:41.760 protective matters close quote like home test kits? Are people 703 00:43:41.800 --> 00:43:51.119 still using those home test kits? I mean, by this 704 00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:53.639 point in time, I think we're all painfully aware that 705 00:43:53.679 --> 00:43:56.800 the COVID pretty much like a regular, good old fashioned 706 00:43:56.800 --> 00:44:00.519 cold unless you're in a comorbid category three. Only five 707 00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:07.840 billion dollars after blowing through federal pandemic, largest states and 708 00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:12.519 localities are tapping FEMA to backfill their budgets. Congress and 709 00:44:12.559 --> 00:44:18.079 Turns keeps back filling FEMA rents and repeat. Government Accountability 710 00:44:18.079 --> 00:44:21.679 Office last summer projected that the COVID disaster quote unquote 711 00:44:21.719 --> 00:44:25.199 disaster will be the most expensive in FEMA history. Bretherident 712 00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:28.360 Trump is right to call for shifting more FEMA responsibilities 713 00:44:28.400 --> 00:44:32.880 to the states. Federal spending on disaster relief creates a 714 00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:36.360 moral hazard by reducing the incentive for states to invest 715 00:44:36.599 --> 00:44:42.800 in disaster preparedness and mitigation see Los Angeles sam goes 716 00:44:42.840 --> 00:44:45.400 for social welfare. States have lessons center to help lift 717 00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:47.920 people out of poverty, since they receive more federal dollars 718 00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:51.800 if people stay poor. When you're spending someone else's cash, 719 00:44:51.960 --> 00:44:54.719 there's hardly an his center to spend it prudently. Medicaid 720 00:44:54.920 --> 00:44:59.440 state's biggest source of federal dollars in courages. In efficient spending, 721 00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:05.199 states receive one to three dollars from Washington for every 722 00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:10.400 dollar they spend on Medicaid nine dollars for lower income, 723 00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:16.239 able bodied individuals covered under Obamacare's expansion. Democratic states provide 724 00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:19.519 more expansive benefits and easier eligibility, and writing more money 725 00:45:19.519 --> 00:45:22.639 out of Washington. Some are ringing more money out of Washington. 726 00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:26.719 Some thirty six percent of Californians are covered by medicaid. 727 00:45:27.559 --> 00:45:31.079 Compare that to Florida, where it's nineteen and in Texas, 728 00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:37.519 where it's fifteen. Thirty six percent federal share of California's 729 00:45:37.559 --> 00:45:40.280 Medicaid spending nearly one hundred and twenty billion, is more 730 00:45:40.320 --> 00:45:47.840 than Florida's entire budget. America's Welfare Queen New York federal 731 00:45:47.880 --> 00:45:52.000 dollars make up roughly forty percent of the state's budget. 732 00:45:54.760 --> 00:45:57.840 Let that sink in. Some forty four percent of New 733 00:45:57.920 --> 00:46:01.039 Yorkers are covered by medicaid or quasi public option for 734 00:46:01.159 --> 00:46:05.559 lower income people, including migrants. Thanks to a Biden regulatory waiver, 735 00:46:05.760 --> 00:46:08.599 they've fed foot about ninety five percent of this public 736 00:46:08.639 --> 00:46:12.800 options cost, translated to eleven point seven billion dollars this 737 00:46:12.920 --> 00:46:17.320 year alone. Government social assistance and healthcare account for nearly 738 00:46:17.400 --> 00:46:21.880 all new jobs added in such Democrat run states as California, 739 00:46:23.440 --> 00:46:31.079 nearly all also in New York, Minnesota, in Illinois, nearly 740 00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:37.880 all new jobs from your taxpayer dollars. Their high taxes 741 00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:42.360 and excessive regulation of suppressed job creation by private businesses, 742 00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:45.360 so that government spending is now the main engine of 743 00:46:45.360 --> 00:46:49.639 employment and growth. How long can that last? Soaring pension 744 00:46:49.679 --> 00:46:51.760 bills I mentioned in a moment ago for government workers 745 00:46:51.880 --> 00:46:56.400 or crowding out public services. Lawmakers have in turn hiked taxes, 746 00:46:56.880 --> 00:47:01.079 but the resulting population flight has shrunk their tax This 747 00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:03.599 is a total recipe for disaster, and it's unfolding before 748 00:47:03.599 --> 00:47:06.760 our very eyes. All this has made them more dependent 749 00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:10.440 on Washington spending. Why should taxpayers in Houston and Jacksonville 750 00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:17.119 and Cincinnati subsidized mismanaged government in Sacramento, in Albany, that's 751 00:47:17.159 --> 00:47:21.920 a rhetorical question. They shouldn't. By slashing federal spendings, Republicans 752 00:47:21.960 --> 00:47:25.719 in Washington could give progressive governments an impetus to reform 753 00:47:26.119 --> 00:47:31.679 and escape their welfare trap. Call it tough love. Yeah, 754 00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:38.039 thank you, Listen Finley, more people were aware of this reality, 755 00:47:38.119 --> 00:47:42.559 more people would rebel against it. Six sixteen fifty five 756 00:47:42.639 --> 00:47:45.920 KRCD talk stations. Spending does not have to be outrageous. 757 00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:50.039 And I'm talking about medical imaging, affordable imaging services, low low, 758 00:47:50.159 --> 00:47:52.920 low overhead, same kind of equipment hospitals used with. It's 759 00:47:52.960 --> 00:47:56.800 the MRI, the CT scan, Echo cardiogram, ultrasound lung screening 760 00:47:56.800 --> 00:48:00.480 of cardiac scoring your doctor. We quite fine, happy with 761 00:48:00.559 --> 00:48:04.440 the image that affordable imaging services does, especially when it 762 00:48:04.440 --> 00:48:07.039 comes to the board certified radiologist report that your doctor 763 00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:09.559 will get along with you within forty eight hours. That 764 00:48:09.760 --> 00:48:12.119 worked out well for my cancer doctor. She had no 765 00:48:12.159 --> 00:48:14.800 problem whatsoever with the CT scan I got there. I 766 00:48:14.840 --> 00:48:17.039 got another one lined up with affordable imaging services coming 767 00:48:17.079 --> 00:48:20.440 up in April. Set scans at a hospital maybe five 768 00:48:20.599 --> 00:48:25.480 thousand dollars with separate bills for the radiologist report CT 769 00:48:25.599 --> 00:48:28.599 SCAN with a contrast six hundred dollars at Affordable Imaging 770 00:48:28.599 --> 00:48:31.519 and CT without a contrast four point fifty yeah compared 771 00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:35.280 to five grand. You see the outrageous difference between the two. Hey, 772 00:48:35.599 --> 00:48:38.039 it's a fat cash cowgo move thing for the hospital 773 00:48:38.079 --> 00:48:40.400 imaging department. Plus I got tons of overhead. Don't deal 774 00:48:40.480 --> 00:48:44.159 with that. MRI with a contrast six forty five without 775 00:48:44.159 --> 00:48:46.639 one four out and ninety five bucks ultrasounds only two 776 00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:49.360 hundred and fifty bucks.

That guy was 798 00:49:42.159 --> 00:49:44.199 a bad actor. And somebody you never heard of either. 799 00:49:44.320 --> 00:49:46.880 It's amazing now, you know, every year because stories come 800 00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:48.760 out about World War Two you never heard of. They're like, 801 00:49:48.760 --> 00:49:52.159 how come this wasn't widely reported before? Anyway, we talk 802 00:49:52.239 --> 00:49:55.119 with former advansad Or Francis Roney and Fump's Trump's a 803 00:49:55.119 --> 00:49:58.360 couple of first couple of weeks in office, Uh Heart 804 00:49:58.400 --> 00:50:02.639 for Seniors Foundation Elderly Care crisis and it is a 805 00:50:02.880 --> 00:50:05.559 bad situation, but they've got a solution for that, and 806 00:50:05.599 --> 00:50:10.039 what a wonderful organization they are. And author Nathaniel Sizemore 807 00:50:10.159 --> 00:50:11.960 talking about his couple of books. It's all right there, 808 00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:15.679 fifty five care sea dot com. After California, obviously, we're 809 00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:19.360 all painfully a whare of the LA's of the Pacific 810 00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:22.159 Palisades or every place else burning to the ground. They 811 00:50:22.159 --> 00:50:28.400 have a wildfire recoveries our. His named Steve Soberov, and 812 00:50:28.519 --> 00:50:34.079 apparently he was on a phone call with Hollywood talent 813 00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:36.960 executives and he was telling them, do not accept the 814 00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:41.519 low ball offers, the receiving on their properties house burns 815 00:50:41.519 --> 00:50:43.719 of the ground, and no end in sight in terms of, 816 00:50:44.280 --> 00:50:49.440 you know, getting the home rebuilt or no idea insight 817 00:50:49.559 --> 00:50:52.679 when the home could possibly be rebuilt. He said, whether 818 00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:57.199 you're broke or you're old, don't sell now, because in 819 00:50:57.360 --> 00:51:00.800 one year we're going to be putting billions of dollars 820 00:51:00.800 --> 00:51:04.559 in your neighborhood of improvements. Now, going back to the 821 00:51:04.599 --> 00:51:07.159 article by Elysa Finley, does anybody think that one billion 822 00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:09.599 dollars or more is going to come from the state 823 00:51:09.639 --> 00:51:11.440 of California or do you think you and I are 824 00:51:11.440 --> 00:51:14.599 going to be shouldering that bill? He said, you'll get 825 00:51:14.639 --> 00:51:17.760 triple what these guys are offering you. Now, it's like 826 00:51:17.840 --> 00:51:21.320 William Morris Agency and these other talent agencies, you know 827 00:51:21.440 --> 00:51:26.239 folks that represent One was identified Jake Tapper, United Talent 828 00:51:26.360 --> 00:51:29.039 Agency of Beverly Hills was on the meeting, so all 829 00:51:29.079 --> 00:51:31.519 the movers and shakers in the Hollywood area, I suppose 830 00:51:33.239 --> 00:51:36.599 During the call, he said half hour labor could get 831 00:51:36.639 --> 00:51:39.639 deported before the Palisades is rebuilt, which he said could 832 00:51:39.679 --> 00:51:43.199 be extremely expensive. Also warning the folks on the call 833 00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:45.679 not to take the Los Angeles Department of Water and 834 00:51:45.760 --> 00:51:52.159 Power testing at face value, not reassuring this one, saying 835 00:51:52.280 --> 00:51:57.239 don't bathe your baby in their water. All right, he 836 00:51:57.320 --> 00:51:59.440 said on the call, construction costs are going to be 837 00:51:59.440 --> 00:52:01.519 as high, going to be high because the demand for 838 00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:03.840 commodities is going to be high, the demand for labor, 839 00:52:03.880 --> 00:52:07.239 whether or not half our labor is deported before this happens. 840 00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:09.920 Obviously a shot out of the ballot Donald Trump and 841 00:52:10.039 --> 00:52:13.239 rather insulting to the construction labor for suggesting that they're 842 00:52:13.239 --> 00:52:16.679 all made up of illegal immigrants. He says, it's going 843 00:52:16.719 --> 00:52:18.400 to be high. We're going to be recruiting people from 844 00:52:18.440 --> 00:52:20.719 around the country to come and live at Motel sixes. 845 00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:22.840 Like the Alaska gold Rush. It's going to take a 846 00:52:22.840 --> 00:52:28.800 long time. So on one hand, don't sell because ultimately, 847 00:52:28.840 --> 00:52:31.960 at some point way down the road, when taxpayer dollars 848 00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:34.039 are going to be injected and fused into the area, 849 00:52:34.079 --> 00:52:36.320 we'll finally be able to rebuild and you won't have 850 00:52:36.360 --> 00:52:39.079 to sell it at a no pun intended fire sale price. 851 00:52:39.519 --> 00:52:43.039 You're just going to have to wait for it. In 852 00:52:43.039 --> 00:52:44.679 the meantime, if you don't have any money, and you 853 00:52:45.039 --> 00:52:47.800 maybe inherited your home or has been in your home generations, 854 00:52:48.679 --> 00:52:52.800 where are you're going to be living? Pacific Palisades not 855 00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:58.119 presently inhabitable anyway. Back over the water situation, referring to 856 00:52:58.159 --> 00:53:02.039 the Los Angeles Department or to Water and Power. Just 857 00:53:02.119 --> 00:53:06.320 because the DWP says your water is safe, have somebody 858 00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:09.199 tested before you move back in. And when they say 859 00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:16.239 drinking water, use bottle water, Well, it's easy for him 860 00:53:16.239 --> 00:53:18.880 to say, isn't it, And maybe easy for the executives 861 00:53:18.880 --> 00:53:21.679 on the call to say, I imagine that they probably 862 00:53:21.719 --> 00:53:24.440 have money and maybe their houses didn't burn to the ground. 863 00:53:28.519 --> 00:53:31.800 What they don't say? He went on, and they're starting 864 00:53:31.840 --> 00:53:34.280 to say it now. Don't bathe your baby in their water, 865 00:53:34.360 --> 00:53:36.719 don't take a bath in the water, don't take a shower, 866 00:53:36.880 --> 00:53:39.639 don't do your dishes, don't do your laundry. You don't 867 00:53:39.679 --> 00:53:42.679 want to do anything with that water until it's deemed safe, 868 00:53:42.719 --> 00:53:45.440 and then personally, if you can afford it, I would 869 00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:48.039 get an independent agency or maybe there's a kid at 870 00:53:48.079 --> 00:53:52.280 CBS that can tell you if your water is safe. Yeah, 871 00:53:52.280 --> 00:54:02.239 but the CVS burned down too. Sober Off said it 872 00:54:02.239 --> 00:54:08.159 could take as long as ready five years for people 873 00:54:08.199 --> 00:54:18.639 to rebuild the destroyed homes. Said, I thought you said 874 00:54:18.639 --> 00:54:21.119 it wasn't going to be political. Now I want you 875 00:54:21.440 --> 00:54:24.599 on the I want you on the bus to yes 876 00:54:25.440 --> 00:54:27.480 hit this analogy. You're either on the yes bus or 877 00:54:27.480 --> 00:54:34.679 the no bus. Criticism is a bus to know what 878 00:54:37.639 --> 00:54:40.360 he's on the yes bus, he says. He acknowledged that 879 00:54:40.440 --> 00:54:44.079 only about five percent of Palisades residents can afford their 880 00:54:44.199 --> 00:54:47.519 house now, given that many are generational owners or bought 881 00:54:47.519 --> 00:54:50.199 their houses before construction costs in real estate products for 882 00:54:50.239 --> 00:54:53.880 the skyrocket and ready for this, he predicted the cost 883 00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:58.239 would be in his words, nuts, explaining that we'll probably 884 00:54:58.360 --> 00:55:04.320 cost one thousand and to twelve hundred dollars per square 885 00:55:05.079 --> 00:55:10.760 foot to rebuild. Said there's no one in Polisades that 886 00:55:10.800 --> 00:55:13.199 won't have a gap between what their insurance policies will 887 00:55:13.199 --> 00:55:16.519 pay out and the costs to reconstruct their homes. As 888 00:55:16.719 --> 00:55:19.400 he doesn't know what kind of aid will be available 889 00:55:19.440 --> 00:55:23.440 to make up the shortfalls. Still, he told these Witzy 890 00:55:23.519 --> 00:55:25.599 executives on the call, the best thing for people to 891 00:55:25.599 --> 00:55:29.079 do is ready they're building plans, hire legal help. There's 892 00:55:29.079 --> 00:55:31.360 another cost many people might not be able to meet. 893 00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:35.320 Hire legal help to negotiate with insurance companies and hold 894 00:55:35.360 --> 00:55:39.039 onto their watts rather than accept low ball offers from speculators. 895 00:55:40.719 --> 00:55:42.639 Some things are easier said than done. Got a couple 896 00:55:42.639 --> 00:55:45.079 of callers online, Ten and Dwayne, You guys, don't mind 897 00:55:45.119 --> 00:55:47.000 holding on for a moment.

Ken, Thanks for calling this morning. Happy Monday, Oh. 941 00:57:58.920 --> 00:57:59.639 Happy Monday. 942 00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:00.239 Hey. 943 00:58:00.280 --> 00:58:03.880 I just wanted to come in concerning Donald Trump firing 944 00:58:04.039 --> 00:58:07.239 these igs. There's one of them who's going around and 945 00:58:07.239 --> 00:58:12.280 he's sitting in the different media television, these news shows, 946 00:58:12.880 --> 00:58:15.239 and I just say to myself, man, I'm glad that 947 00:58:15.440 --> 00:58:18.760 Donald Trump has done this. To leave certain people in 948 00:58:18.800 --> 00:58:23.920 these positions is like leaving Comy in for another year. 949 00:58:26.119 --> 00:58:26.400 You know. 950 00:58:26.599 --> 00:58:29.880 The one thing that I wish somebody would ask is 951 00:58:29.920 --> 00:58:35.800 these igs ask these igs did Comy spy on Donald 952 00:58:35.880 --> 00:58:40.599 Trump illegally? And then after he became president, did Comy 953 00:58:40.679 --> 00:58:47.400 and others go after a sitting voted in president, but 954 00:58:47.559 --> 00:58:51.199 nobody wants to address any of this stuff. I think 955 00:58:51.719 --> 00:58:54.639 I think Donald Trump is a quick study and he 956 00:58:54.760 --> 00:58:58.119 learned the hard way that there's certain people in government 957 00:58:58.239 --> 00:59:03.000 you cannot ever try us, and you have to get them. 958 00:59:02.760 --> 00:59:06.079 Out well and or wing to get your comment on. 959 00:59:06.159 --> 00:59:08.400 Yeah, maybe they're not doing their job. Inspectors General is 960 00:59:08.400 --> 00:59:09.960 supposed to mind the store and find out where the 961 00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:12.679 money's going. And if you saw that announcement from Elon 962 00:59:12.760 --> 00:59:15.599 Musk the other day, they just basically rubber stamp literally 963 00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:19.039 every check that's amanded out of federal government. Just pay everybody, 964 00:59:19.079 --> 00:59:21.639 pay everybody. So many trillions of dollars flowing out of government. 965 00:59:21.679 --> 00:59:23.800 No one can keep watch over it. Well, it's part 966 00:59:23.800 --> 00:59:25.239 of the job they're supposed to do. We had Todd 967 00:59:25.320 --> 00:59:27.440 Zenzer on the phone. He was Inspector general for what 968 00:59:27.519 --> 00:59:30.719 like thirty years, and he knows exactly what the job's about. 969 00:59:30.760 --> 00:59:32.679 You can go back on the podcast pages and hear 970 00:59:32.760 --> 00:59:34.559 what he had to say. But yeah, I got no 971 00:59:34.639 --> 00:59:39.280 problem new sheriff in town, you know, and who among 972 00:59:39.360 --> 00:59:44.039 us hasn't been victim of some sort of reorganization. They 973 00:59:44.119 --> 00:59:46.519 used to reorganize the legal department of my prior employer 974 00:59:46.559 --> 00:59:49.320 almost like every three years, like, well, here comes gonna 975 00:59:49.320 --> 00:59:51.639 reorger again. They're gonna drop people and people get fired. 976 00:59:51.679 --> 00:59:53.760 Thankfully never happened to me. I did quit on my 977 00:59:53.760 --> 00:59:57.079 own accord, but god knows whether I'd still be there. 978 00:59:57.119 --> 00:59:58.960 I had stuck it out in Anthon, Blue Cross and 979 00:59:58.960 --> 01:00:03.840 Blue Shield, and you know what, there is no guarantee 980 01:00:03.840 --> 01:00:05.519 that I'm going to be able to keep this job either. 981 01:00:05.559 --> 01:00:10.760 But thank God for my listeners, which I take that 982 01:00:10.840 --> 01:00:13.920 concern off of my lap. But you know what, times 983 01:00:14.039 --> 01:00:16.639 change and new shriffes come into town and people get 984 01:00:16.880 --> 01:00:19.599 people lose their jobs. And I'm quick to point out, 985 01:00:19.800 --> 01:00:21.880 you know who has any pity for folks in the 986 01:00:21.880 --> 01:00:25.880 coal industry. You know, this whole global warming thing resulting 987 01:00:25.920 --> 01:00:28.280 in so many coal jobs just being completely deleted. I 988 01:00:28.440 --> 01:00:30.719 sucks to be you. You're in a dirty industry. We 989 01:00:30.800 --> 01:00:33.000 don't care about you. But when you go ahead and 990 01:00:33.000 --> 01:00:35.440 you start firing government employees, it's like, well, you can't 991 01:00:35.480 --> 01:00:39.639 do that. Why not everybody else's face is being fired 992 01:00:39.679 --> 01:00:41.719 at some point. You know, I'm not gonna weep over 993 01:00:41.840 --> 01:00:43.760 And I have accountants that are friends of mine and 994 01:00:43.800 --> 01:00:46.079 I get an accountant to help with my taxes every year. 995 01:00:46.119 --> 01:00:49.159 And honestly, I'm sorry if a complete industry gets if 996 01:00:49.239 --> 01:00:51.840 wipe if the industry completely gets wiped out, because we 997 01:00:51.920 --> 01:00:55.400 come up with a saner system of taxation, fair tax, 998 01:00:55.400 --> 01:01:00.079 flat tax, whatever, but one that does not require a 999 01:01:00.119 --> 01:01:04.159 team of accountants to manage your your income taxes. That 1000 01:01:04.199 --> 01:01:06.719 would be a welcome change for me. And I'm certain 1001 01:01:06.760 --> 01:01:08.599 that those accountants out in the world would find some 1002 01:01:08.719 --> 01:01:12.079 other form of employment like everybody else has to when 1003 01:01:12.119 --> 01:01:16.440 they lose their job.

That's it, you, amster Gary. Welcome 1084 01:05:35.760 --> 01:05:37.599 to the Morning Show. Happy Monday to you, sir. 1085 01:05:38.920 --> 01:05:40.519 Good morning, Brian. How are you doing. 1086 01:05:41.079 --> 01:05:45.639 I'm doing that, hey. 1087 01:05:45.880 --> 01:05:49.880 I was just going to piggyback off of your comments 1088 01:05:49.880 --> 01:05:54.519 at California and the Palisade fires and all the fires 1089 01:05:54.519 --> 01:05:58.119 going on out there. I think the majority of the 1090 01:05:58.159 --> 01:06:03.079 people who have money or want to leave southern California 1091 01:06:03.159 --> 01:06:06.800 for other places in the world. I mean, they got 1092 01:06:07.119 --> 01:06:10.679 more than enough money. They can go anywhere. I mean, really, 1093 01:06:10.719 --> 01:06:14.599 do they want to sit on a neighborhood where they 1094 01:06:14.679 --> 01:06:18.960 might be the only house that's not in Amber Shambers? 1095 01:06:19.400 --> 01:06:22.679 You know that's not burnt to an ash to look 1096 01:06:22.679 --> 01:06:25.639 at that For the next five years, and then you've 1097 01:06:25.639 --> 01:06:29.840 got to wonder what that's going to do to everybody's 1098 01:06:30.639 --> 01:06:35.679 the tax space, right and you know, so the tax 1099 01:06:35.719 --> 01:06:38.719 space is going to have to decrease, which means that 1100 01:06:38.760 --> 01:06:41.280 they're going to have to rely on the people that stay. 1101 01:06:41.960 --> 01:06:46.400 Same thing with the workforce for rebuilding everything, which is 1102 01:06:46.440 --> 01:06:49.599 going to be extra high. Same thing with supplies are 1103 01:06:49.599 --> 01:06:52.840 going to be extra high. So you've got high taxes. 1104 01:06:53.360 --> 01:06:58.840 There's really unsafe water. And you know how they environmentalists 1105 01:06:58.880 --> 01:07:01.400 out there, they won't even bathed in the water now, 1106 01:07:02.599 --> 01:07:06.280 you know, probably for just cause now and they'll just 1107 01:07:06.679 --> 01:07:08.880 they'll spread. They don't have to put up with that. 1108 01:07:09.119 --> 01:07:12.000 No, they don't. And it's an excellent point you make 1109 01:07:12.639 --> 01:07:16.679 that you know, does Hollywood even need to be in Hollywood, California? 1110 01:07:16.679 --> 01:07:18.199 If you want to make movies, you can literally make 1111 01:07:18.199 --> 01:07:21.199 them anywhere. How they make movies in Cincinnati. Now, all 1112 01:07:21.239 --> 01:07:23.719 that talent out there and they've got money, they can move. 1113 01:07:23.760 --> 01:07:27.159 And you're right, I agree with you completely. Who would 1114 01:07:27.199 --> 01:07:31.280 really seriously want to wait around for between one and 1115 01:07:31.519 --> 01:07:35.239 five years to have their house rebuild when the next 1116 01:07:35.239 --> 01:07:37.039 door neighbors and most of the people across the street 1117 01:07:37.039 --> 01:07:40.000 didn't even have enough insurance to do a rebuild, they're 1118 01:07:40.039 --> 01:07:42.159 going to have to sell, and that land is going 1119 01:07:42.199 --> 01:07:44.199 to go to a for a low ball offer for 1120 01:07:44.239 --> 01:07:47.679 a long time, because only I would think some sort 1121 01:07:47.719 --> 01:07:50.639 of corporate investment entity could sink the kind of money 1122 01:07:50.639 --> 01:07:52.599 you need in to acquire a bunch of land out 1123 01:07:52.599 --> 01:07:54.559 there and then afford to be able to wait around 1124 01:07:54.679 --> 01:07:57.159 until the conditions are ripe to have the homes rebuilt 1125 01:07:57.599 --> 01:08:00.880 in their own image or vision, right. I mean, everybody 1126 01:08:00.920 --> 01:08:02.760 was talking about this thing having so many parallels to 1127 01:08:02.800 --> 01:08:05.840 the Lahina fire that they're now having all the restrictions 1128 01:08:05.880 --> 01:08:10.239 on rebuilding. Those houses were in people's families for generation 1129 01:08:10.360 --> 01:08:14.480 after generation after generation, and they don't meet modern building codes, 1130 01:08:14.519 --> 01:08:16.239 so they're not going to have their homes rebuilt the 1131 01:08:16.279 --> 01:08:17.600 way it used to be in the line, and it's 1132 01:08:17.600 --> 01:08:21.199 going to be pursued into some grand strategy and probably 1133 01:08:21.239 --> 01:08:24.000 a walkable community type phenomenon, like they're trying to shove 1134 01:08:24.039 --> 01:08:27.399 down everybody else's throat out here. Oh yeah, and you're right, 1135 01:08:27.560 --> 01:08:29.319 you know what, didn't it be interesting question to have 1136 01:08:29.359 --> 01:08:36.680 answered Gary The total taxes that the collective communities that 1137 01:08:36.720 --> 01:08:39.039 burned in the ground paid in Los Angeles area like 1138 01:08:39.079 --> 01:08:41.560 how many tax dollars were collected from the people who 1139 01:08:41.720 --> 01:08:45.479 used to live in the now burned down Pacific Palisades. 1140 01:08:45.600 --> 01:08:49.159 I bet it is an outrageous amount of money and 1141 01:08:49.199 --> 01:08:49.640 it's gone. 1142 01:08:49.720 --> 01:08:53.039 And one billion dollars and one billion dollars that they're 1143 01:08:53.079 --> 01:08:56.199 going to throw into the community is nothing compare what 1144 01:08:56.239 --> 01:08:58.279 they need. I mean, hell, they don't even have a 1145 01:08:59.039 --> 01:09:04.279 fire department, no less water system that's adequate, and hop 1146 01:09:04.319 --> 01:09:08.079 out medical and rebuilding bridges, water systems and everything else. 1147 01:09:08.600 --> 01:09:11.840 Don't eat one billion help bridges alone. Don't eat that 1148 01:09:12.000 --> 01:09:13.079 up nothing flat. 1149 01:09:13.239 --> 01:09:15.439 Yeah, there's no question. Well, I mean what you saw 1150 01:09:15.479 --> 01:09:18.039 the figures. Even early on they were talking about forty 1151 01:09:18.039 --> 01:09:21.920 to fifty sixty billion dollars in property damage, and I 1152 01:09:21.920 --> 01:09:23.840 bet that figures a lot more than that now once 1153 01:09:23.840 --> 01:09:27.479 they calculate it all up. A billion dollars is a 1154 01:09:27.600 --> 01:09:30.000 drop in the bucket for the damage that's been concurred 1155 01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:32.640 down there. Good points, Gary, You're right, I can't argue 1156 01:09:32.640 --> 01:09:34.880 with any of them. Place is going to be a 1157 01:09:34.880 --> 01:09:37.640 ghost town. Maybe it already is.

So say, 1194 01:11:19.159 --> 01:11:27.800 with the Biden FBI anyway, trans Vegan terror cult, check 1195 01:11:27.880 --> 01:11:29.680 the right boxes, you too could be remember of the 1196 01:11:29.720 --> 01:11:33.359 trans vegan terror called Zi's cult blame for a string 1197 01:11:33.399 --> 01:11:36.159 of what they call brutal murders as well as mayhem 1198 01:11:36.159 --> 01:11:38.319 in the United States, including the recent fatal shooting of 1199 01:11:38.319 --> 01:11:42.760 a Border Patrol agent in Vermont. Nationwide manhunt underway for 1200 01:11:42.880 --> 01:11:49.039 Michael zecho Z A Jko described it as a trans 1201 01:11:49.279 --> 01:11:52.560 non binary person. They say he's the one that bought 1202 01:11:52.600 --> 01:11:56.479 semi automatic weapons used by two other excuse me trans 1203 01:11:56.640 --> 01:11:59.560 individuals to shoot and kill Border Patrol agent David Maylon 1204 01:12:00.239 --> 01:12:02.560 back in the twentieth of January during a traffic stop 1205 01:12:02.560 --> 01:12:07.279 in Vermont. Several of the associates now in custody for 1206 01:12:07.359 --> 01:12:11.560 various violent crimes, while the leader, Jack ziz La Soda, 1207 01:12:12.399 --> 01:12:15.479 described as a vegan who also goes by the name 1208 01:12:15.560 --> 01:12:19.720 Andrea Phelps, is at large after he faked his own 1209 01:12:19.760 --> 01:12:23.640 death to escape prosecution. Jacko, connected with the group an 1210 01:12:23.680 --> 01:12:25.960 online posts also a person of interest in the double 1211 01:12:26.079 --> 01:12:28.399 murder of her parents in connection with the slang of 1212 01:12:28.399 --> 01:12:35.319 the Vallejo, California landowner named Curtis Linde alleged cult tied 1213 01:12:35.319 --> 01:12:37.640 to a string of killings which they say are reminiscent 1214 01:12:37.640 --> 01:12:41.600 of the murders carried out by Charles Manson and his followers. 1215 01:12:42.479 --> 01:12:45.039 Lesota himself currently not charging any of the killing. Some 1216 01:12:45.119 --> 01:12:48.359 members of this ziz group charged with gravely injuring and 1217 01:12:48.439 --> 01:12:52.640 later murdering that Curtis lind landowner, who they attacked with 1218 01:12:52.680 --> 01:12:54.439 a sword after he tried to kick him off from 1219 01:12:54.479 --> 01:12:56.720 squatting on his property. He was eighty two years old, 1220 01:12:56.720 --> 01:12:59.520 shot and killed one of them in self defense, lost 1221 01:12:59.560 --> 01:13:04.119 an eye. The January seventeenth in attack, he was poised 1222 01:13:04.119 --> 01:13:09.119 to testify against these jailed assailants when he was stabbed 1223 01:13:09.119 --> 01:13:11.520 to death outside his home. They arrested a guy named 1224 01:13:11.520 --> 01:13:16.159 Maximilian Bentley Snyder, who has connections with his trans vegan cult, 1225 01:13:16.199 --> 01:13:20.920 in charge him with murder. Prosecutor said Lynn was intentionally 1226 01:13:21.000 --> 01:13:23.039 killed for the purpose of preventing his testimony in the 1227 01:13:23.079 --> 01:13:26.600 criminal proceeding. Andy No, writer for The New York Post, 1228 01:13:26.640 --> 01:13:30.640 described Losodas group known as the Zizians, as a highly 1229 01:13:30.840 --> 01:13:36.439 educated trans vegan rationalist to hold fringe esoteric ideological beliefs 1230 01:13:36.439 --> 01:13:41.680 about transhumanism and animal rights. Brian Thomas, hosted the fifty 1231 01:13:41.720 --> 01:13:44.600 five Care Morning Show, calls them cuckoo for cocoa puffs. 1232 01:13:46.520 --> 01:13:49.399 Lysoda was at the scene of Lynn's first attack and 1233 01:13:49.560 --> 01:13:52.039 was squatting on that property. Please let him Goole Go. 1234 01:13:52.159 --> 01:13:57.119 Though all the skipped court appearance on unrelated charges, police 1235 01:13:57.199 --> 01:14:01.760 records show a pattern of violence among members associated with him. 1236 01:14:02.039 --> 01:14:10.560 Felix Ophelia Buckholt University of Washington, Teresa Milo Consuelo young Blood, 1237 01:14:10.600 --> 01:14:14.760 two trans individuals fired at Maryland fired at Mayland during 1238 01:14:14.760 --> 01:14:19.760 the traffic stopped, killing him, according to the complaint.

Arrested in 1240 01:14:22.600 --> 01:14:26.000 twenty nineteen while protesting and then barricading a workshop put 1241 01:14:26.039 --> 01:14:31.479 on by Berkeley based Center for Applied Rationality. And I 1242 01:14:31.560 --> 01:14:37.000 read that and I go, oh, there's one of those too, huh. 1243 01:14:37.119 --> 01:14:39.479 His mother and associates claimed he later died in a 1244 01:14:39.520 --> 01:14:44.640 boating accident and produced an obituary. Coastguards, however, conducted a search, 1245 01:14:44.800 --> 01:14:47.000 never found a body, and police later made contact with 1246 01:14:47.119 --> 01:14:49.760 Lysoda at the scene of Lynn's first attack, but again 1247 01:14:49.800 --> 01:14:55.359 he wasn't arrested or charged. So we have those trans 1248 01:14:55.439 --> 01:15:04.119 vegan terror cults. Five six fifty seven.

We're going to talk about tariffs, 1269 01:16:06.640 --> 01:16:10.159 talking about the gross domestic products slowing uh. More and 1270 01:16:10.199 --> 01:16:12.399 more young families are unable to afford a home and 1271 01:16:12.439 --> 01:16:16.119 that just breaks my heart. Us cares return of the 1272 01:16:16.159 --> 01:16:19.560 cincinni Via. Got a whole bunch of improvements coming in 1273 01:16:19.640 --> 01:16:22.000 this calendar year at the Cincinniva. We're going to learn 1274 01:16:22.039 --> 01:16:25.119 all about that together at eight forty five three seven 1275 01:16:26.359 --> 01:16:28.119 eight hundred eight two to three Taco with pound five 1276 01:16:28.199 --> 01:16:32.680 fifty on AT and T phones. And one of the 1277 01:16:32.720 --> 01:16:38.560 things Trump did he got rid of gender pronouns employees 1278 01:16:38.560 --> 01:16:41.800 and all the federal agencies in order to remove pronouns 1279 01:16:41.800 --> 01:16:45.479 from their email signatures by last Friday afternoon. This according 1280 01:16:45.520 --> 01:16:48.880 to internal memos citing two executive orders signed by Donald 1281 01:16:48.880 --> 01:16:51.880 Trump his first day in office seeking to curb diversity, 1282 01:16:51.920 --> 01:16:58.079 equity and inclusion programs. Accord to the one message sent 1283 01:16:58.119 --> 01:17:00.880 to the Center for Disease Control staff, and any other 1284 01:17:00.880 --> 01:17:05.399 information not permitted in the policy must be removed from 1285 01:17:05.439 --> 01:17:09.760 employee signatures by five pm Friday. Employees instructed to remove 1286 01:17:09.800 --> 01:17:13.000 the pronouns from everything from government grant applications the email 1287 01:17:13.079 --> 01:17:17.399 signatures all across the departments. Plays of the Department of 1288 01:17:17.520 --> 01:17:20.399 Energy received similar notice were told this was meet to 1289 01:17:20.399 --> 01:17:23.279 meet requirements in the executive order, including removal of all 1290 01:17:23.359 --> 01:17:29.239 DEI language and federal discourse communications and publications. The result 1291 01:17:29.279 --> 01:17:32.119 of Trump administration's pushed to do away with all DEI 1292 01:17:32.279 --> 01:17:34.199 efforts and it's rolling out across the board. And this 1293 01:17:34.279 --> 01:17:37.439 is just one little illustration of it. But you know, 1294 01:17:38.159 --> 01:17:43.039 how did we end up in this bizarre, weird, crazy 1295 01:17:43.319 --> 01:17:46.279 idea that these and I pulled it up because l 1296 01:17:46.359 --> 01:17:50.039 g b t q I a UC Davis dot edu. 1297 01:17:50.239 --> 01:17:54.640 They have a department. It's the LGB T t QI 1298 01:17:54.840 --> 01:17:58.680 a Resource Center. And in case you're wondering what all 1299 01:17:58.680 --> 01:18:00.920 those they stay for at Lesbian gets Bisexual, which we 1300 01:18:00.960 --> 01:18:05.800 all understand and can understand that quite clearly, all of 1301 01:18:05.840 --> 01:18:11.359 which relate to one's sexual proclivities. Then transgender queer intersection 1302 01:18:11.479 --> 01:18:14.760 asexual and I get kind of fuzzy on that. If 1303 01:18:14.800 --> 01:18:19.520 you are a transgender woman, it means you're a guy 1304 01:18:19.600 --> 01:18:23.239 biologically you could still be attracted to, at least from 1305 01:18:23.279 --> 01:18:26.720 a you know, sexual proclivity standpoint, to women you just 1306 01:18:26.840 --> 01:18:31.720 like dressing up black a gal. I think ed Wood 1307 01:18:31.960 --> 01:18:36.199 Glenn or Glenda is a movie you can check out 1308 01:18:36.239 --> 01:18:39.000 on that one right if you get done watching Plan 1309 01:18:39.119 --> 01:18:43.439 nine from Outer Space. But they have examples of pronouns 1310 01:18:43.479 --> 01:18:45.680 on this list, and I never heard of a lot 1311 01:18:45.720 --> 01:18:47.279 of these. We're supposed to keep track of this, which 1312 01:18:47.319 --> 01:18:48.920 is why I'm so happy to see the federal governments 1313 01:18:48.920 --> 01:18:56.840 getting rid of them. CO co, O, N E N. 1314 01:18:58.479 --> 01:19:01.920 And they put it in context like co laughed or 1315 01:19:02.079 --> 01:19:04.560 you know, you would say normally he laughed or she 1316 01:19:04.800 --> 01:19:14.159 laughed CO or N laughed, E y and he. They 1317 01:19:14.159 --> 01:19:16.319 actually have he, she and they on there. But then again, 1318 01:19:16.359 --> 01:19:19.840 some people refer to themselves collectively as they more than 1319 01:19:19.920 --> 01:19:21.720 one person roaming around on their head. And I've made 1320 01:19:21.720 --> 01:19:24.399 that observation many times before. But if you go around 1321 01:19:24.399 --> 01:19:26.800 telling me that you want me to meet to call you. 1322 01:19:26.880 --> 01:19:28.840 They when I'm referring to you with the pronoun, I'm 1323 01:19:28.880 --> 01:19:30.720 going to laugh at you and suggest maybe you need 1324 01:19:30.760 --> 01:19:34.000 some psychological counseling, because apparently you've got more than one 1325 01:19:34.079 --> 01:19:39.239 person roaming around inside your head. G X I E 1326 01:19:39.319 --> 01:19:42.680 y O y O z E. And then the final 1327 01:19:42.720 --> 01:19:47.680 one they have here is v V E. They also 1328 01:19:47.760 --> 01:19:51.800 admonish you try to avoid using the phrase preferred pronouns 1329 01:19:51.920 --> 01:19:55.439 or preferred name, as these suggest an element of flexibility 1330 01:19:55.560 --> 01:19:59.439 or that someone's identity is less than valid. Someone's name 1331 01:19:59.479 --> 01:20:02.359 and pronoun are not suggestions and are not preferred over 1332 01:20:02.439 --> 01:20:07.920 something else. They are inherent to who we are. YO 1333 01:20:08.119 --> 01:20:16.760 said that, I guess maybe Sanity's finally returning to the world. 1334 01:20:16.880 --> 01:20:20.560 I don't know, I'd like to think so. Federal agencies 1335 01:20:20.600 --> 01:20:22.439 and departments were given a deadline of five pm on 1336 01:20:22.479 --> 01:20:27.479 Friday to implement Trump's order mandated the US government recognize 1337 01:20:27.520 --> 01:20:31.600 only two sexes that are, in Trump's words, not changeable. 1338 01:20:33.920 --> 01:20:37.800 Memocent Wednesday to agency heads detailed the launder lists of 1339 01:20:37.840 --> 01:20:40.479 tasks required to comply with the order, including sweeping directive 1340 01:20:40.479 --> 01:20:45.560 to withdraw all relevant documents directives, orders, regulations, materials, forms, communications, statements, 1341 01:20:45.560 --> 01:20:49.399 and plans, along with far more specific requests to change 1342 01:20:49.880 --> 01:20:53.920 gender to the word sex on government forums, disable any 1343 01:20:53.920 --> 01:20:57.479 email prompts that ask users for their pronouns, and cancel 1344 01:20:57.560 --> 01:21:02.199 any employee resource groups that include or promote ideology. I 1345 01:21:02.199 --> 01:21:06.479 wonder if the UC Davis website will soon disappear. It's 1346 01:21:06.479 --> 01:21:10.239 still up as of this morning. I do believe they 1347 01:21:10.279 --> 01:21:12.239 receive federal funds. That's why I kind of uttered that 1348 01:21:12.279 --> 01:21:16.359 out loud. Agencies also ordered to take down any what 1349 01:21:16.359 --> 01:21:20.079 they call outward facing media that could be interpreted as 1350 01:21:20.079 --> 01:21:23.039 promoting a view of gender that isn't in liign with 1351 01:21:23.079 --> 01:21:26.119 the current administration's policies on gender. In other words, there's 1352 01:21:26.159 --> 01:21:29.479 two jack, two genders, period, end of story. It's what 1353 01:21:29.520 --> 01:21:33.600 you were born with. So apparently, by Friday afternoon, search 1354 01:21:33.640 --> 01:21:36.119 results for gender on the US Center for Disease Control 1355 01:21:36.119 --> 01:21:42.560 and Preventions website all dead links, which had been active 1356 01:21:42.600 --> 01:21:46.119 even earlier in the day. On Friday, websites of the 1357 01:21:46.119 --> 01:21:48.960 Department of Health and Human Services scrubbed all the pages 1358 01:21:49.000 --> 01:21:55.680 on gender affirming care and LGBTQ plus rights. CDC representatives 1359 01:21:55.680 --> 01:22:02.000 didn't respond to her quest for common Trump said such 1360 01:22:02.039 --> 01:22:05.279 actions were intended to defend women's rights and protect freedom 1361 01:22:05.319 --> 01:22:09.079 of conscious by using clear and accurate language in policies. 1362 01:22:09.760 --> 01:22:12.880 Which take me over to the former Lea Thomas swimmers. 1363 01:22:12.960 --> 01:22:15.319 Lea Thomas a man pretending to be a woman. We've 1364 01:22:15.359 --> 01:22:20.039 all probably familiar with her. Georgia State Senate Committee passed 1365 01:22:20.079 --> 01:22:24.119 the Fair and Safe Athletic Opportunities Act last Thursday after 1366 01:22:24.159 --> 01:22:27.119 testimony for multiple female athletes who have been complaining about 1367 01:22:27.159 --> 01:22:31.600 sharing locker rooms with transgender athletes. So this bill requires 1368 01:22:31.640 --> 01:22:34.239 athletes to participate on teams that align with their biological 1369 01:22:34.279 --> 01:22:37.760 sex at birth. It's anticipated it will be signed into law. 1370 01:22:38.800 --> 01:22:43.479 Former North Carolina State women swimmer Kaylie Alans, thirty one 1371 01:22:43.680 --> 01:22:46.560 time All American a two time NC two A champion, 1372 01:22:46.680 --> 01:22:49.439 spoke about the experience of competing against and sharing a 1373 01:22:49.439 --> 01:22:53.399 locker room with Thomas. Quote, this is a great statement 1374 01:22:53.439 --> 01:22:57.960 from her. We are were sorry. We all were just 1375 01:22:58.039 --> 01:23:02.039 guinea pigs for a giant social experiment formed by the 1376 01:23:02.159 --> 01:23:06.600 NCAA regarding how much abuse and blatant disregard women would 1377 01:23:06.640 --> 01:23:12.800 be forced to take in silence, said she recount of 1378 01:23:12.840 --> 01:23:15.640 the emotion she felt when competing in areas with Leah 1379 01:23:15.640 --> 01:23:18.520 Thomas and how much sadness she felt watching women lose 1380 01:23:18.640 --> 01:23:23.640 out on chances to compete fairly at the event, claiming 1381 01:23:23.680 --> 01:23:25.640 she wanted to cry and leave the event after seeing 1382 01:23:25.680 --> 01:23:28.399 Thomas win the five hundred meter freestyle. It all just 1383 01:23:28.560 --> 01:23:32.680 felt so off and wrong. Did I go to the 1384 01:23:32.720 --> 01:23:35.119 locker room in that day to see Thomas and realize 1385 01:23:35.159 --> 01:23:37.880 there is no escaping this nightmare no matter where I go. 1386 01:23:38.039 --> 01:23:39.840 I had no idea he was going to be allowed 1387 01:23:39.880 --> 01:23:42.479 in the women's locker room, as we did not consent 1388 01:23:42.600 --> 01:23:44.800 to have a man in our locker room. And I'm 1389 01:23:44.840 --> 01:23:47.680 immediately on every time I enter a locker room afterward, 1390 01:23:48.039 --> 01:23:50.239 knowing any moment a man can walk in, walk on 1391 01:23:50.359 --> 01:23:54.159 enemy while I'm changing, said she felt so uncomfortable that 1392 01:23:54.479 --> 01:23:57.560 she started abandoning the locker room and instead began to 1393 01:23:57.640 --> 01:24:03.159 change in a storage closet behind the bleach. One other 1394 01:24:03.239 --> 01:24:08.039 University of Kentucky summer, Caitlin Wheeler said young women teenage 1395 01:24:08.039 --> 01:24:11.279 girls were forced to undress next to a fully intact 1396 01:24:11.359 --> 01:24:14.199 biological male who exposed themselves to us while we were 1397 01:24:14.199 --> 01:24:18.600 simultaneously fully exposed. We were never asked, we were never 1398 01:24:18.600 --> 01:24:21.079 given a choice. In another option, we were just expected 1399 01:24:21.119 --> 01:24:24.199 to be okay with it, to shove down our discomfort, 1400 01:24:24.279 --> 01:24:27.960 our embarrassment, our fear, because standing up for ourselves would 1401 01:24:27.960 --> 01:24:31.840 have been being labeled as intolerant or hateful or bigoted. 1402 01:24:36.840 --> 01:24:40.680 And one doctor, because some people were opposed to this, 1403 01:24:41.880 --> 01:24:46.279 then get over it. Doctor Jody Greenwald, described as a 1404 01:24:46.760 --> 01:24:50.399 pediatrician in Roswell, speaking to this panel that was discussing this, 1405 01:24:50.960 --> 01:24:54.000 told the panel that transgender girls are not predators and 1406 01:24:54.039 --> 01:24:56.760 warned that transgender youth are more at risk for suicide. 1407 01:24:56.800 --> 01:24:59.880 And I circled that. Now she can't say on a 1408 01:25:00.039 --> 01:25:04.000 quivocally that transgender girls are not predators. They may very 1409 01:25:04.000 --> 01:25:06.960 well could be, and we know from the news that 1410 01:25:07.119 --> 01:25:11.159 some of them are, notably the guys that go in 1411 01:25:11.199 --> 01:25:13.960 the women's locker room and pleasure themselves in front of 1412 01:25:13.960 --> 01:25:15.560 the other women in the locker room. I would call 1413 01:25:15.600 --> 01:25:18.000 that predatory behavior. I don't know what your definition of 1414 01:25:18.039 --> 01:25:22.520 it is, but it certainly falls into mind and I 1415 01:25:22.520 --> 01:25:25.159 can understand. And it's a sad thing that transgender youth 1416 01:25:25.199 --> 01:25:28.119 probably more to risk for suicide. If you really truly 1417 01:25:28.159 --> 01:25:31.600 believe in your mind, and I believe that many do, 1418 01:25:32.079 --> 01:25:35.239 that you are really deep down inside a gender that 1419 01:25:35.319 --> 01:25:37.560 you're not born with. You look down, you got twig 1420 01:25:37.560 --> 01:25:39.399 and berries, and yet you identify as a woman, and 1421 01:25:39.399 --> 01:25:40.800 you really believe in your heart of hearts that you 1422 01:25:40.840 --> 01:25:42.760 are a woman. I can understand how that might be 1423 01:25:42.760 --> 01:25:47.039 a massive psychological burden for you, recognizing as any sane 1424 01:25:47.119 --> 01:25:50.840 rational person would, that there is nothing any doctor or 1425 01:25:50.920 --> 01:25:55.079 scientist or surgeon can do to transform your chromosomal reality. 1426 01:25:55.800 --> 01:25:57.760 They might be able to change the exterior a little bit, 1427 01:25:57.800 --> 01:25:59.920 and part's not going to work like the originals do 1428 01:26:00.079 --> 01:26:03.159 when you're born that way, but you know, you got 1429 01:26:03.199 --> 01:26:04.960 to go through your life recognizing that that is an 1430 01:26:05.000 --> 01:26:07.760 impossible thing to accomplish. Period, end of story. Might that 1431 01:26:07.840 --> 01:26:11.399 lead to suicidal ideation? One can make a logical conclusion 1432 01:26:11.439 --> 01:26:18.279 that it might, but that they are more of a 1433 01:26:18.479 --> 01:26:23.479 risk to suicide, should imperil the hearts and minds and 1434 01:26:23.600 --> 01:26:27.640 create an unfair competitive reality for some of them and 1435 01:26:27.960 --> 01:26:31.279 for the women in sports. We're gonna turn the entire 1436 01:26:31.279 --> 01:26:39.880 world upside down because some percentage have suicidal ideation, much 1437 01:26:40.000 --> 01:26:45.359 like sadly, a pretty substantial percentage of the former folks 1438 01:26:45.399 --> 01:26:48.600 in uniform serving our country proudly, sadly their numbers are 1439 01:26:48.600 --> 01:26:51.359 a lot higher in terms of suicide than the general 1440 01:26:51.399 --> 01:26:54.439 population seven to seventeen. Right now, if you five cares 1441 01:26:54.439 --> 01:26:57.560 to the detalk station, Christopher Smithman is up next.

Christopher, I hope 1477 01:28:46.159 --> 01:28:48.640 you had a wonderful weekend. Welcome back to the program. 1478 01:28:49.079 --> 01:28:52.319 Hey, thank you Brian for having me on and I did, 1479 01:28:52.560 --> 01:28:57.079 and my heart just went out, I'm sure like yours. 1480 01:28:57.119 --> 01:28:59.920 And you're listening to audience on those two plane crashes, 1481 01:29:00.119 --> 01:29:04.079 Oh you know what we saw happening in in in 1482 01:29:04.199 --> 01:29:08.479 d C. And Pennsylvania. And you know, it's as shocking 1483 01:29:08.520 --> 01:29:10.479 as it is to our conscious. It's just you pray 1484 01:29:10.560 --> 01:29:13.319 for the families and you know, particularly you know, for 1485 01:29:13.399 --> 01:29:16.359 all of them. But to think waiting in an airport 1486 01:29:16.520 --> 01:29:19.800 a plane is arriving and you see it explode, I 1487 01:29:19.920 --> 01:29:23.159 just it just it just messes up your mind. So 1488 01:29:23.800 --> 01:29:26.520 my love goes out to those families. And uh, you know, 1489 01:29:26.600 --> 01:29:31.600 we still have the safest transportation with plane travel, you know, 1490 01:29:31.680 --> 01:29:34.720 even when you see things like this happen. Obviously, they're 1491 01:29:34.760 --> 01:29:36.800 going to have to deal with things at that airport 1492 01:29:36.920 --> 01:29:42.119 with with the military doing exercises there and commercial planes 1493 01:29:42.199 --> 01:29:44.800 landing and taking off, they're going to have to change 1494 01:29:44.840 --> 01:29:48.239 what they're doing there, obviously. But what a tragedy on 1495 01:29:48.319 --> 01:29:49.399 both in both cases. 1496 01:29:49.479 --> 01:29:53.359 Yeah, no question about it, no question about it. I 1497 01:29:53.479 --> 01:29:57.640 just you know, I'm not a huge fan of flying anyway, Christopher, 1498 01:29:57.680 --> 01:29:59.960 and has nothing to do with safety. It is everything 1499 01:30:00.079 --> 01:30:01.600 with the hassle of it, you know, getting to the 1500 01:30:01.640 --> 01:30:03.600 airport two hours before the head of the flight, going 1501 01:30:03.640 --> 01:30:07.840 through the you know tsa uh sphincter probe and you 1502 01:30:07.880 --> 01:30:10.279 know the it's it's just it's a hassle. And then 1503 01:30:10.279 --> 01:30:12.000 you're stuck on a tin can and you can't get 1504 01:30:12.039 --> 01:30:13.560 out of go any place. I love. That's why I 1505 01:30:13.600 --> 01:30:17.319 love driving so much, Bud. Now you're gonna have to 1506 01:30:17.319 --> 01:30:20.239 factor in the the idea that it scares the hell out. 1507 01:30:20.239 --> 01:30:21.680 I mean, to get on a plane, the Boeing seven 1508 01:30:21.800 --> 01:30:24.000 thirty seven Max, the door flies off. You got all 1509 01:30:24.079 --> 01:30:26.159 kinds of equipment problems if you're on a Boeing airline. 1510 01:30:26.199 --> 01:30:28.800 And now air traffic control, we learned about how bad 1511 01:30:28.840 --> 01:30:31.520 things the situation are with air traffic control, the shortage 1512 01:30:31.520 --> 01:30:34.399 of air traffic controllers, the lowered standards for air traffic 1513 01:30:34.439 --> 01:30:38.000 controller and like she's the wheeze. Not exactly great marketing 1514 01:30:38.039 --> 01:30:40.039 for the airline or the airline industry. 1515 01:30:41.039 --> 01:30:43.880 Well, Secretary Duffy's gonna sort it all out. You know, 1516 01:30:44.039 --> 01:30:48.119 certain things we've had, Yeah, he will. Certainly. We've had 1517 01:30:49.319 --> 01:30:53.399 our former mayor footage edge, you know, over over transportation, 1518 01:30:53.479 --> 01:30:55.039 which made no sense to me at all. 1519 01:30:55.119 --> 01:30:58.680 What his experience was to serving that capacity, and he's 1520 01:30:58.760 --> 01:31:02.840 left things probably uh messed up, and uh it's going 1521 01:31:02.920 --> 01:31:06.119 to take the secretary of the new Secretary of Transportation. 1522 01:31:05.640 --> 01:31:06.920 To clean it up. 1523 01:31:08.079 --> 01:31:12.880 Look, man, I very rarely talk about well Cincinnati politics 1524 01:31:13.039 --> 01:31:15.800 in my in my events, but you know what caught 1525 01:31:15.840 --> 01:31:19.760 my eye was was our mayor meaning mayor pure vol 1526 01:31:20.600 --> 01:31:24.279 indicating cutting the you know, cutting the balogney, very thin 1527 01:31:25.079 --> 01:31:29.640 on whether they're going to cooperate with ICE or not. Look, 1528 01:31:29.960 --> 01:31:33.319 this is this is to anybody who lives in Cincinnati, 1529 01:31:33.680 --> 01:31:39.720 in our fifty two neighborhoods, this is completely outrageous. Right, 1530 01:31:39.760 --> 01:31:42.640 It's one thing to turn on MSNBC and listen to 1531 01:31:42.680 --> 01:31:45.640 them talk about ICE is separating families, which is just 1532 01:31:45.760 --> 01:31:53.319 a lie. This administration has only focused on gang members, criminals, 1533 01:31:53.880 --> 01:31:59.720 drug drug dealers, I mean a rapist. Those are the 1534 01:31:59.760 --> 01:32:03.119 people that are being thrown out. And I think that 1535 01:32:03.159 --> 01:32:07.159 they're talking points, whether it's the View or CNN or MSNBC, 1536 01:32:07.960 --> 01:32:11.119 they don't understand that what they did over the last 1537 01:32:11.119 --> 01:32:13.960 call of ten years, people have now caught up with 1538 01:32:14.039 --> 01:32:18.239 them and they understand that they're lying, right, and so 1539 01:32:18.359 --> 01:32:21.079 this note they keep coming back with the same sound bite. 1540 01:32:21.880 --> 01:32:25.640 We're separating families, and we're putting mothers and we're taking 1541 01:32:25.680 --> 01:32:27.880 them out of the people who are legally here. They're 1542 01:32:27.920 --> 01:32:31.399 being handcuffed. I heard it all this weekend and it's 1543 01:32:31.479 --> 01:32:34.239 all nothing but lies. And so to hear our mayor 1544 01:32:34.880 --> 01:32:38.880 say that he would not cooperate with ICE to remove 1545 01:32:39.439 --> 01:32:44.720 criminals who are in our country illegally, meaning they've already 1546 01:32:44.760 --> 01:32:48.520 broken the law to come here illegally. And you're talking 1547 01:32:48.520 --> 01:32:50.560 about a gang member that might be in one of 1548 01:32:50.560 --> 01:32:54.600 our fifty two neighborhoods that you're directing in some way 1549 01:32:54.319 --> 01:33:00.800 that Chief Fiji of the Cincinnati Police Department doesn't cooperate. Man, 1550 01:33:00.840 --> 01:33:04.119 this is where insanity and no common sense his the role. 1551 01:33:04.359 --> 01:33:07.920 This is where he thinks as a Democrat, a liberal Democrat, 1552 01:33:08.239 --> 01:33:10.840 that is somehow he's gonna win. What do you think 1553 01:33:10.960 --> 01:33:14.560 University of Cincinnati is gonna think, Cincinnati State? Right? What 1554 01:33:14.640 --> 01:33:18.079 do you think that that the Xavier University is gonna think? 1555 01:33:18.479 --> 01:33:22.920 You know when Mount Saint Joseph if one of their children, 1556 01:33:22.920 --> 01:33:25.720 one of the kids on those campuses comes up dead. 1557 01:33:26.039 --> 01:33:29.960 Because we have a mayor that says, hey, I was 1558 01:33:30.119 --> 01:33:34.640 unwilling to cooperate with ICE, right, But it's so serious, 1559 01:33:35.000 --> 01:33:38.479 meaning the mindset is so serious that we've got to 1560 01:33:38.479 --> 01:33:42.159 deal with it because he's down there clownings right, and 1561 01:33:42.239 --> 01:33:45.000 the reality of it is I don't blame the police chief. 1562 01:33:45.279 --> 01:33:48.239 I blame all nine members of council because they have 1563 01:33:48.359 --> 01:33:51.319 the power to check the mayor. They should be passing 1564 01:33:51.920 --> 01:33:55.880 a resolution today saying we're cooperating with Ice. Yeah, and 1565 01:33:55.960 --> 01:33:57.640 we're gonna hold the mayor accountable. 1566 01:33:58.039 --> 01:34:00.680 I agree with that. They do have voice and if 1567 01:34:00.720 --> 01:34:03.119 they do disagree to any to any extent, or they 1568 01:34:03.159 --> 01:34:06.159 want to clarify the extent to which Purvol's comment was, 1569 01:34:06.680 --> 01:34:08.880 you know, maybe a little bit too broad in the 1570 01:34:08.920 --> 01:34:10.720 sense that he wasn't going to cooperate. They should come 1571 01:34:10.760 --> 01:34:12.439 out on their own and make their own statements, and 1572 01:34:12.479 --> 01:34:14.479 I think they will be good for them, and it 1573 01:34:14.520 --> 01:34:16.760 may very well well put mayor. I have to have 1574 01:34:16.840 --> 01:34:19.159 Purvole in his place in that issue. It's so important. 1575 01:34:19.239 --> 01:34:22.199 The safety Lord, Almighty, it's pausible.

Here in fifty five car CDE 1619 01:36:23.840 --> 01:36:27.159 talk station right Thomas with Christopher Smithman, former Vice man 1620 01:36:27.159 --> 01:36:29.079 in the City of Cincinnati, we get him every Monday 1621 01:36:29.079 --> 01:36:31.960 for the smither Van Smithman. Mister Smithman, what else is 1622 01:36:32.000 --> 01:36:33.640 on your mind this morning, my friend. 1623 01:36:33.520 --> 01:36:37.560 Well brother, the January sixth pardons. You know, I've been 1624 01:36:37.600 --> 01:36:44.560 approached a lot about President Trump's decision to pardon those 1625 01:36:44.680 --> 01:36:47.119 involved with January sixth, and I just want to dig 1626 01:36:47.159 --> 01:36:53.399 into this. I want to remind your listeners that President 1627 01:36:53.479 --> 01:36:57.479 Biden partened just about his whole family on the way out. 1628 01:36:58.439 --> 01:37:02.279 And this matters because no one has ever seen the president, 1629 01:37:03.640 --> 01:37:06.199 you know, pardon his son and then come back and 1630 01:37:06.279 --> 01:37:10.840 pardon his brothers and their spouses and obviously Fauci and 1631 01:37:10.960 --> 01:37:15.800 others in such a broad way. And so this notion 1632 01:37:15.880 --> 01:37:18.479 when people approach me, it's like it's like they're having 1633 01:37:18.520 --> 01:37:22.039 no conversation with me about the context of what is 1634 01:37:22.079 --> 01:37:24.279 going on. And they say, man, I'm so worried about 1635 01:37:24.279 --> 01:37:27.960 this protester that hit a police officer and he was pardoned, 1636 01:37:28.880 --> 01:37:30.960 and I'm and I'm thinking in my head, I'm going, 1637 01:37:31.159 --> 01:37:35.279 when when did Democrats discover the police? I mean, this 1638 01:37:35.439 --> 01:37:39.680 was this clearly was the party that wanted to defund 1639 01:37:39.720 --> 01:37:44.399 the police, reimagine the police department. They have been so 1640 01:37:44.760 --> 01:37:49.920 unsupportive of law enforcement, peace officers across the United States 1641 01:37:49.960 --> 01:37:54.760 and the world. They've been shutting down entire highways by 1642 01:37:54.880 --> 01:37:59.520 walking on them with flags and and taping themselves to 1643 01:37:59.600 --> 01:38:04.000 the high way so traffic can't get by gluing themselves 1644 01:38:04.079 --> 01:38:06.800 to the road. This is what the Democrats have been doing. 1645 01:38:06.920 --> 01:38:09.720 So it's been so strange when I'm looking at the 1646 01:38:09.760 --> 01:38:13.199 mainstream media Brian Thomas, and they're there trying to make 1647 01:38:13.279 --> 01:38:17.399 me think that they care about law enforcement now and 1648 01:38:17.439 --> 01:38:20.479 what's happening here as it relates to January sixth, But 1649 01:38:20.640 --> 01:38:25.720 they never mention President Biden's parton of his entire family. 1650 01:38:25.960 --> 01:38:29.279 They haven't learned anything from the previous election. They're right 1651 01:38:29.319 --> 01:38:32.279 back on their talking points, whether you're listening to the View, 1652 01:38:32.520 --> 01:38:36.239 whether you're listening to MSNBC, whether you're listening to CNN. 1653 01:38:36.680 --> 01:38:40.079 It is so outrageous how they continue to put out 1654 01:38:40.159 --> 01:38:44.560 lives about what's happening, whether we're talking about immigration or 1655 01:38:44.560 --> 01:38:47.279 whether we're talking about the pardons. And it's just under 1656 01:38:47.319 --> 01:38:49.720 my craw I couldn't take it this weekend because they 1657 01:38:49.840 --> 01:38:52.640 kept coming back talking about January sixth, as if they 1658 01:38:52.680 --> 01:38:54.920 gave a damn about law enforcement. 1659 01:38:55.479 --> 01:38:58.960 Wells in it's student observation, Christopher, I agree completely with you, 1660 01:38:59.039 --> 01:39:01.640 and you know, I would say there was something to 1661 01:39:01.720 --> 01:39:06.920 be said about certain members of the entire collective of 1662 01:39:07.079 --> 01:39:09.359 Jay six ers who are being prosecuted. And we know 1663 01:39:09.520 --> 01:39:13.760 many of them were nonviolent, merely walked into the building, 1664 01:39:13.840 --> 01:39:17.279 which could be viewed as a technical trespass. But you know, 1665 01:39:17.399 --> 01:39:19.640 under the circumstances, I don't think it's worthy of the 1666 01:39:19.720 --> 01:39:22.600 resources and expenditure a time the federal government went through 1667 01:39:22.640 --> 01:39:25.880 to track every single one of them down. Can you 1668 01:39:25.880 --> 01:39:28.760 imagine they put that much effort into tracking down I mean, 1669 01:39:29.239 --> 01:39:32.640 true genuine criminals. And I understand the point that he 1670 01:39:32.720 --> 01:39:35.880 can be made because FOP president made it on this 1671 01:39:36.000 --> 01:39:37.840 program and he made it in the Inquirer. I believe 1672 01:39:37.840 --> 01:39:40.279 it was inquiring but local news that you know, it 1673 01:39:40.319 --> 01:39:43.920 was only only the people who violently attacked police that 1674 01:39:44.000 --> 01:39:46.479 he had a problem with. And I don't abide attacking 1675 01:39:46.520 --> 01:39:50.359 the police, but in the broader scheme of things, you know, 1676 01:39:50.640 --> 01:39:52.439 you look at the state of California. You got people 1677 01:39:52.520 --> 01:39:55.960 going in and shoplifting and cleaning out and looting buildings. 1678 01:39:56.000 --> 01:40:00.520 There never brought it to criminal justice, and and you know, 1679 01:40:00.920 --> 01:40:03.600 there's this weird double standard that exists, and you can 1680 01:40:03.680 --> 01:40:06.760 highlight it if you want, But if you know, if 1681 01:40:06.760 --> 01:40:08.279 you want to go ahead and say he shouldn't have 1682 01:40:08.279 --> 01:40:10.359 pardoned the January sixth ers, and you can pivot over 1683 01:40:10.399 --> 01:40:12.119 and say, well, how on the hell did he end 1684 01:40:12.199 --> 01:40:14.079 up partnering a bunch of people who were not subject 1685 01:40:14.119 --> 01:40:17.199 to even prosecution, like his family members with the exceptional 1686 01:40:17.279 --> 01:40:21.039 Hunter Biden. You know, they hadn't been accused formally on anything. 1687 01:40:21.520 --> 01:40:23.920 How did they get a pardon for literally everything that 1688 01:40:23.960 --> 01:40:25.560 they had done for the prior ten years. 1689 01:40:26.600 --> 01:40:27.399 That's crazy. 1690 01:40:27.840 --> 01:40:31.600 I no one's ever seen anything like it, No, Brian Thomas. 1691 01:40:31.640 --> 01:40:34.319 And by the way, when we look at presidents who 1692 01:40:34.439 --> 01:40:38.800 did you know deporting people who came to our country illegally. 1693 01:40:39.159 --> 01:40:41.800 You go back to some Democratic presidents, whether they're talking 1694 01:40:41.800 --> 01:40:45.640 about President Clinton or we're talking about President Obama, they 1695 01:40:46.039 --> 01:40:51.359 they deported more people than President Trump has in his 1696 01:40:51.560 --> 01:40:53.359 and it's back four years. So I don't know what 1697 01:40:53.439 --> 01:40:55.439 he's going to do over these four years. But the 1698 01:40:55.439 --> 01:40:59.000 reality of it is people who come to this country illegally. 1699 01:40:59.039 --> 01:41:01.760 And by the way, if anybody listening tries to go 1700 01:41:01.800 --> 01:41:05.000 to another country illegally, figure out what will happen. 1701 01:41:05.039 --> 01:41:05.319 To you. 1702 01:41:05.399 --> 01:41:07.479 I mean, we're the only country out there that has 1703 01:41:07.560 --> 01:41:11.399 open borders that he'll be in jail five years. And 1704 01:41:11.399 --> 01:41:14.560 and and let me just say also that the partner 1705 01:41:14.760 --> 01:41:19.000 of those those Americans who this is under Trump, who 1706 01:41:19.079 --> 01:41:21.399 were who were praying in front of abortion clinics. These 1707 01:41:21.439 --> 01:41:24.000 things just kind of go under the radar and they're 1708 01:41:24.039 --> 01:41:27.600 not discussed a lot. But but he's been partnering other people. 1709 01:41:27.680 --> 01:41:30.600 He just partnered a congressional member, he and his wife 1710 01:41:30.640 --> 01:41:32.840 that was that was being targeted by the dj and 1711 01:41:33.119 --> 01:41:35.600 they said they were dropping charges against them. That was 1712 01:41:35.720 --> 01:41:38.760 just this weekend. And so the reality of it is 1713 01:41:39.000 --> 01:41:42.520 what what what President Trump has learned is that the 1714 01:41:42.600 --> 01:41:46.800 criminal justice system at times can be weaponized because he 1715 01:41:46.880 --> 01:41:50.399 went through it. See I'm a believer in God, and 1716 01:41:50.479 --> 01:41:52.800 see what happens here is that people were looking at 1717 01:41:52.840 --> 01:41:54.520 President Trump is said if they can do it to him, 1718 01:41:54.560 --> 01:41:57.560 they can do it to me. And so he understands 1719 01:41:57.600 --> 01:42:01.199 that now, and so he's looking at the justice system 1720 01:42:01.359 --> 01:42:04.680 a little differently, and he's looking at these cases saying, man, 1721 01:42:05.319 --> 01:42:07.640 I know what they did to me, I can see 1722 01:42:07.640 --> 01:42:09.920 what they did to you. You know what I'm gonna do. 1723 01:42:09.960 --> 01:42:13.479 I'm gonna use my power to relieve the system off 1724 01:42:13.520 --> 01:42:15.600 of you. That's one of the things that you're gonna 1725 01:42:15.600 --> 01:42:18.439 constantly see a drum beat through these four years with 1726 01:42:18.560 --> 01:42:21.000 President Trump. He's going to continue to go and say, no, 1727 01:42:21.600 --> 01:42:24.399 the DOJ went too far here, No, this judge went 1728 01:42:24.439 --> 01:42:27.159 too far here. I understand what they did to me 1729 01:42:27.399 --> 01:42:30.239 in Manhattan, New York. I understand what they did to 1730 01:42:30.279 --> 01:42:32.560 me in Florida. I'm not gonna let it happen to 1731 01:42:32.600 --> 01:42:35.479 somebody else. And I think that's a positive. 1732 01:42:35.079 --> 01:42:37.199 Thing I do too. And don't forget the folks who 1733 01:42:37.239 --> 01:42:40.039 are protesting in school boards over you know, woke policies 1734 01:42:40.079 --> 01:42:42.920 being taught at schools. Isn't it a parent's prerogative to 1735 01:42:43.079 --> 01:42:46.000 raise their voice at the appropriate meeting, the school board 1736 01:42:46.039 --> 01:42:48.359 meeting where people do have the opportunity to speak their 1737 01:42:48.399 --> 01:42:50.479 mind to the school board so the school board can 1738 01:42:50.560 --> 01:42:53.840 understand and learn what the parents that have children in 1739 01:42:53.880 --> 01:42:57.600 the school have on their minds, only to be shut down, 1740 01:42:57.800 --> 01:43:01.279 thrown out, or otherwise gone after by law enforce horsman. 1741 01:43:01.319 --> 01:43:03.720 It's just, it was, it just, it was It's just 1742 01:43:03.760 --> 01:43:06.279 it was a crazy, crazy period of time, Christopher. 1743 01:43:06.800 --> 01:43:09.359 I mean, they almost made them the enemy of the state. 1744 01:43:09.479 --> 01:43:11.840 They say, parents, we want you involved, We want you 1745 01:43:11.880 --> 01:43:14.640 to come down and advocate for our children. So then 1746 01:43:14.680 --> 01:43:17.359 the parents show up, and what do you do arrest them? 1747 01:43:17.840 --> 01:43:20.239 You make them the enemy of the state. Yeah, I 1748 01:43:20.279 --> 01:43:23.000 mean it was. It's absolutely absurd. And by the way, 1749 01:43:23.079 --> 01:43:26.079 we saw the report cards from the school system. Let's 1750 01:43:26.119 --> 01:43:28.760 not walk around like an ostrich with our head in 1751 01:43:29.119 --> 01:43:34.840 the sand. Our public school system needs reforms, we need help, right, 1752 01:43:34.920 --> 01:43:38.079 we need to have vision. And it's not just in Cincinnatians. 1753 01:43:38.119 --> 01:43:41.119 Across the United States of America. We've got babies that 1754 01:43:41.159 --> 01:43:45.680 are graduating that cannot read and write. This is very serious. 1755 01:43:45.800 --> 01:43:48.600 And by the way, we've got third world countries that 1756 01:43:48.640 --> 01:43:51.640 are beating us in the space of education. We're spending 1757 01:43:51.680 --> 01:43:56.119 more per pupil than than any country in the world, 1758 01:43:56.319 --> 01:43:59.159 but we have our young people getting further, further and 1759 01:43:59.239 --> 01:44:02.560 behind in the areas of math, in the area of English, 1760 01:44:02.600 --> 01:44:05.239 in the area of reading. So we've got to wake 1761 01:44:05.359 --> 01:44:08.199 up and hold these school boards accountable. We've got to 1762 01:44:08.239 --> 01:44:11.239 hold our teachers. And by the way, let me shout 1763 01:44:11.239 --> 01:44:14.319 out to our public school public school teachers across the 1764 01:44:14.399 --> 01:44:16.960 United States of America. They have a very hard job 1765 01:44:17.239 --> 01:44:20.279 because the families are not where they are where they 1766 01:44:20.319 --> 01:44:23.159 were fifty to one hundred years ago. So they're asked. 1767 01:44:23.159 --> 01:44:25.359 Our teachers are being asked to be mom and dad. 1768 01:44:25.399 --> 01:44:28.159 Our coaches are being asked to be uncle and aunts 1769 01:44:28.199 --> 01:44:30.840 and all that kind of stuff because our families. The 1770 01:44:31.199 --> 01:44:35.279 families are being blown up across the United States of America. 1771 01:44:35.359 --> 01:44:38.960 So the Cincinnati public school kids, whether it's Toledo, whether 1772 01:44:39.000 --> 01:44:42.760 it's la whether it's Chicago, have really hard jobs out 1773 01:44:42.840 --> 01:44:46.720 here trying to teach our babies or are who are 1774 01:44:46.760 --> 01:44:50.960 struggling at home, who are underpaid and overwork. So I 1775 01:44:51.039 --> 01:44:53.000 give that to them, but it still means that we've 1776 01:44:53.000 --> 01:44:55.880 got to educate our babies. We cannot have kids, you know, 1777 01:44:56.119 --> 01:44:59.279 who can't read and write, graduating from the twelfth grade 1778 01:44:59.279 --> 01:45:00.960 and think they're going to make get in our society. 1779 01:45:00.960 --> 01:45:03.000 It just is not going to work. Thomas. 1780 01:45:03.079 --> 01:45:04.800 Yeah, And you know, I don't know what the school 1781 01:45:05.000 --> 01:45:07.359 system that you went through as a young man, Christopher 1782 01:45:07.520 --> 01:45:10.119 was like, but you know, we I went through public 1783 01:45:10.159 --> 01:45:13.279 schools over on the West Side, you know, John Foster, 1784 01:45:13.439 --> 01:45:15.880 Dulles and dull High Junior High School and No Kills 1785 01:45:15.960 --> 01:45:18.520 High School. And I reflect on the amenities that we 1786 01:45:18.600 --> 01:45:21.720 had and you know, compared to today pretty lean ship. 1787 01:45:21.760 --> 01:45:24.520 I mean, it wasn't the one room schoolhouse with everybody 1788 01:45:24.520 --> 01:45:27.239 in one room of all different grades. But you know, 1789 01:45:27.600 --> 01:45:30.760 the bells and whistles that people have this expectation should 1790 01:45:30.800 --> 01:45:34.079 exist at a high school level like these grand facilities 1791 01:45:34.079 --> 01:45:39.159 and these brand new, massive complexes with all this taxpayer dollars. 1792 01:45:39.960 --> 01:45:43.000 Is that necessary to educate a child? Really? I mean 1793 01:45:43.039 --> 01:45:45.960 you really need all those extra bells and whistles. And 1794 01:45:46.199 --> 01:45:49.439 the answer is clearly no, you know, I mean, it's 1795 01:45:49.439 --> 01:45:52.039 not more money that's needed, it's it's maybe a different 1796 01:45:52.039 --> 01:45:55.359 approach at how children are taught. Perhaps that's the fit, 1797 01:45:55.479 --> 01:45:59.399 the focus, and of course an involved yeah. 1798 01:45:59.199 --> 01:46:01.520 I think it's a county. I think you know, you 1799 01:46:01.560 --> 01:46:04.279 can't have a kid, you know, beating up a teacher 1800 01:46:04.760 --> 01:46:07.279 and then coming back to school the next week. You 1801 01:46:07.319 --> 01:46:10.520 can't have them throwing a computer out a teacher and 1802 01:46:10.560 --> 01:46:12.720 then having them come back to school the next day. 1803 01:46:13.079 --> 01:46:17.359 And so the teachers need backup when kids are disruptive 1804 01:46:17.359 --> 01:46:20.319 in classrooms. If you talk to teachers, they'll tell you that, look, 1805 01:46:20.600 --> 01:46:23.239 i've got thirty kids in here, and let's say say 1806 01:46:23.279 --> 01:46:25.960 twenty five of them are great, but five of them 1807 01:46:26.000 --> 01:46:30.119 disrupt my class every single day, and nobody gets those 1808 01:46:30.159 --> 01:46:32.560 five kids out of the classroom so that the other 1809 01:46:32.640 --> 01:46:35.319 twenty five can learn. That's what we've got to do. 1810 01:46:35.439 --> 01:46:38.439 Our public school system is broken because they have this 1811 01:46:38.560 --> 01:46:41.319 notion of no child left behind. I don't want to 1812 01:46:41.399 --> 01:46:44.359 leave a child behind. Nobody wants to. But if you're 1813 01:46:44.439 --> 01:46:47.279 unwilling to hold those five children accountable so that the 1814 01:46:47.319 --> 01:46:49.760 other twenty five can learn, right, what you're going to 1815 01:46:49.840 --> 01:46:52.079 have is pandemonium. And that's what we have in our 1816 01:46:52.079 --> 01:46:54.640 public school systems across the country. And by the way, 1817 01:46:54.680 --> 01:46:57.760 this is not about black and white anybody listening. These 1818 01:46:57.800 --> 01:47:01.840 are about American children, no matter where they are. People 1819 01:47:01.880 --> 01:47:05.439 try to separate us about public education around race. And 1820 01:47:05.439 --> 01:47:08.479 by the way, I graduated from public education the School 1821 01:47:08.479 --> 01:47:12.920 for Creative and Performing Arts in downtown Cincinnati. The reality 1822 01:47:12.920 --> 01:47:15.159 of it is is where we are now is everybody 1823 01:47:15.199 --> 01:47:18.840 wants to divide everybody around race. This is about teaching 1824 01:47:18.920 --> 01:47:23.000 our American children, who are our future, and we can't 1825 01:47:23.039 --> 01:47:27.239 have these kind of bad kids in schools disrupting classrooms 1826 01:47:27.239 --> 01:47:30.399 for these teachers and think everybody's going to learn. Brian Thomas, 1827 01:47:30.479 --> 01:47:33.600 we have a weak system around accountability. If the kid 1828 01:47:33.680 --> 01:47:35.800 doesn't want to learn, you're give them one or two 1829 01:47:35.920 --> 01:47:38.119 or three or four chances, whatever it is, and you're 1830 01:47:38.159 --> 01:47:40.600 out of here. You're out of here because I've got 1831 01:47:40.600 --> 01:47:42.960 twenty five other kids here who want to learn, who 1832 01:47:43.000 --> 01:47:45.439 want to read, who want to get their algebra done 1833 01:47:45.520 --> 01:47:48.159 or their geometry done. I'm tired of it, Brian Thomas. 1834 01:47:48.199 --> 01:47:50.920 If we don't turn our public education around in a 1835 01:47:51.000 --> 01:47:53.880 serious way, this the United States of America as we 1836 01:47:54.000 --> 01:47:55.560 know it is going down the toilet. 1837 01:47:55.720 --> 01:47:58.439 That's a smith event right there, Christopher smith Man.

Jeff, 1871 01:49:40.000 --> 01:49:41.880 Welcome to the Morning Show. Good to hear from you today. 1872 01:49:43.880 --> 01:49:47.479 Good morning, Brian. As always, you and Joe are true patriots. 1873 01:49:46.960 --> 01:49:48.560 Buddy, truly appreciate that. Man. 1874 01:49:50.159 --> 01:49:53.439 Yeah, I just wanted to talk to you about another 1875 01:49:53.600 --> 01:49:57.279 word that President Trump could have said during the next 1876 01:49:57.319 --> 01:50:00.359 forty years is We're going to go back to and 1877 01:50:00.439 --> 01:50:03.760 sense And that would have been a great replacement for 1878 01:50:03.840 --> 01:50:06.680 Golden Age, because let me tell you, you and I 1879 01:50:06.760 --> 01:50:09.279 both know when you use common sense, you definitely bring 1880 01:50:09.319 --> 01:50:12.640 in a gold page. I mean we've been going against 1881 01:50:12.680 --> 01:50:15.760 that for a lot more than four years. I mean 1882 01:50:15.920 --> 01:50:20.560 it's been it's been psychotic. I mean it's everything you 1883 01:50:20.600 --> 01:50:24.159 and I have talked about in the past. Everything has 1884 01:50:24.199 --> 01:50:27.680 to do with common sense. I mean, if you see 1885 01:50:27.720 --> 01:50:31.720 something done wrong, then use common sense to fix it. 1886 01:50:31.920 --> 01:50:35.119 And for some reason, our government has been one of 1887 01:50:35.159 --> 01:50:40.239 the biggest advocates of using insanity instead of common sense 1888 01:50:41.039 --> 01:50:42.800 for quite a few decades now. 1889 01:50:42.920 --> 01:50:45.359 And I'm just so. 1890 01:50:45.439 --> 01:50:48.239 Happy that we're going to hopefully get back to common sense. 1891 01:50:48.319 --> 01:50:52.479 And like you and mister Smithman, was saying, there is 1892 01:50:52.560 --> 01:50:55.720 so many things that you could use common sense to fix. 1893 01:50:55.840 --> 01:51:01.079 I mean, education, legal, aspects of our society. I mean, 1894 01:51:01.079 --> 01:51:04.199 there's so many things that common sense will fix. And 1895 01:51:04.359 --> 01:51:08.840 I just hope that both Democrats and Republicans get together 1896 01:51:10.079 --> 01:51:14.920 after these four years to actually sit down and understand 1897 01:51:14.960 --> 01:51:17.479 that if we use common sense, we can actually work 1898 01:51:17.520 --> 01:51:19.279 together to better the country. 1899 01:51:19.560 --> 01:51:22.079 And I just it would just be so nice to 1900 01:51:22.119 --> 01:51:22.880 have that happen. 1901 01:51:23.000 --> 01:51:25.720 It would indeed, you know, the problem is that common 1902 01:51:25.760 --> 01:51:28.000 sense isn't common anymore. I think at least that's kind 1903 01:51:28.000 --> 01:51:30.600 of the catchphrase people quite often use as a retort, 1904 01:51:31.000 --> 01:51:32.760 you know. And on the education thing, one thing I 1905 01:51:32.840 --> 01:51:37.319 absolutely do not understand, Jeff is letting kids move forward 1906 01:51:37.359 --> 01:51:39.760 to the next grade when they have not yet mastered 1907 01:51:39.840 --> 01:51:42.560 or even coming close to mastering the skill sets in 1908 01:51:42.640 --> 01:51:45.399 the grade that they're in. How can that possibly be 1909 01:51:45.479 --> 01:51:48.479 a service to that young person. If you cannot read 1910 01:51:48.600 --> 01:51:51.119 at grade level and you get moved to the next grade, 1911 01:51:51.119 --> 01:51:53.079 you're just going to be that much further behind. And 1912 01:51:53.119 --> 01:51:57.399 that makes absolutely no sense none. All in the name 1913 01:51:57.439 --> 01:52:00.359 of the little Johnny is going to feel badly because 1914 01:52:00.359 --> 01:52:03.399 he's not moving along with the rest of his classmates. Well, 1915 01:52:03.399 --> 01:52:04.920 you know, if I was a parent along those lines, 1916 01:52:04.960 --> 01:52:07.039 i'd say, good, you can't move forward. We need to 1917 01:52:07.039 --> 01:52:09.359 get you at the grade level you're in first, then 1918 01:52:09.399 --> 01:52:12.920 you can move on. So anyway, I appreciate it, Jeff. 1919 01:52:12.960 --> 01:52:14.359 I can't argue with you. I know you didn't call 1920 01:52:14.439 --> 01:52:17.760 looking for an argument. Let's do it, Chuck, Scott, Chuck, 1921 01:52:17.800 --> 01:52:19.920 thanks for calling the Morning Show, and a happy Monday 1922 01:52:19.960 --> 01:52:20.159 to you. 1923 01:52:21.279 --> 01:52:22.359 Hey, Brian, how are you. 1924 01:52:22.560 --> 01:52:24.239 I'm doing fine. Hope you can say the same. 1925 01:52:24.319 --> 01:52:24.960 Good good. 1926 01:52:25.000 --> 01:52:27.560 You're a gentleman and a scholar. I appreciate everything you do. 1927 01:52:28.479 --> 01:52:30.920 From time to time, I jump on Cincinnati dot Com 1928 01:52:30.960 --> 01:52:34.960 and it just makes me chuckle. How the information that 1929 01:52:34.960 --> 01:52:37.000 they're trying to spread. So it's good to have someone 1930 01:52:37.079 --> 01:52:38.439 like yourself. That's so refreshing. 1931 01:52:38.640 --> 01:52:40.800 Well, that's very kind of you. I appreciate it. I 1932 01:52:40.880 --> 01:52:42.560 enjoyed my time here in the Morning Show, and I 1933 01:52:42.600 --> 01:52:45.840 certainly love when my listeners got the greatest audience out there. 1934 01:52:46.000 --> 01:52:47.159 Absolutely so. 1935 01:52:47.560 --> 01:52:49.399 The one thing I wanted to comment on was just 1936 01:52:49.439 --> 01:52:52.840 the fact that we have actual leadership and sanity coming 1937 01:52:52.880 --> 01:52:55.960 back into the US and through our administration, and it's 1938 01:52:56.000 --> 01:52:57.560 just it blows me away. 1939 01:52:57.640 --> 01:52:59.840 And then I stay with me on this. 1940 01:53:00.039 --> 01:53:02.640 Because you know, it's a little deep in the woods. 1941 01:53:02.760 --> 01:53:05.399 But you know when you hear people like Adam Schiff 1942 01:53:06.199 --> 01:53:09.479 try to argue about protecting Capitol police, which I'm all 1943 01:53:09.560 --> 01:53:12.159 for one hundred percent protecting our police. 1944 01:53:11.800 --> 01:53:13.960 Force real quick because we're out of time. 1945 01:53:14.039 --> 01:53:17.880 But with all the GEO, with all the advanced technology 1946 01:53:17.920 --> 01:53:19.920 that we have, and they've tracked all these people on 1947 01:53:20.000 --> 01:53:23.720 January sixth, it just blows me away that we haven't 1948 01:53:23.760 --> 01:53:27.199 pinned those same people down to the ones that were 1949 01:53:28.319 --> 01:53:32.880 all summer long working with Antifa to you know, to 1950 01:53:32.880 --> 01:53:36.079 to destroy our cities. And I guarantee if we really. 1951 01:53:35.840 --> 01:53:40.479 Found Joe and John and all these people that were 1952 01:53:41.399 --> 01:53:45.079 in prison, that they were probably the same ones that 1953 01:53:45.119 --> 01:53:49.039 were destroying our cities in Minneapolis and across Seattle and 1954 01:53:49.319 --> 01:53:49.840 so forth. 1955 01:53:49.880 --> 01:53:52.439 Anyway, you're not the first person to make that observation, 1956 01:53:52.600 --> 01:53:55.239 my friend. It is rather curious, isn't it. Hey, brother, 1957 01:53:55.279 --> 01:53:57.199 thanks so much for the calling the kind words, Chuck, 1958 01:53:57.239 --> 01:54:00.079 I truly appreciate it. Don't go away, folks. Brian James 1959 01:54:00.079 --> 01:54:04.279 and Money Monday coming up right after the news. 1960 01:54:03.000 --> 01:54:05.239 Covering Trump's first one hundred days. 1961 01:54:05.359 --> 01:54:09.079 Every day America's deadline is over. 1962 01:54:09.279 --> 01:54:11.800 Fifty five krc the talk station. 1963 01:54:12.279 --> 01:54:14.159 This report is sponsored by Duncan's. 1964 01:54:15.000 --> 01:54:17.720 This is the sound going to restore law and order 1965 01:54:17.800 --> 01:54:21.279 of America. Returning to factory settings. 1966 01:54:21.359 --> 01:54:28.119 Fifty five krc A talkstation, Height oh five, the fifty 1967 01:54:28.159 --> 01:54:30.760 five KRCD talk station. It is that time of week. 1968 01:54:30.840 --> 01:54:34.560 We talked money, money Monday with Brian James from Allworth Financial. 1969 01:54:34.960 --> 01:54:36.880 Got some good topic to talk about and of course 1970 01:54:36.960 --> 01:54:40.239 number one on the list there tariffs, tariffs, tariffs. Brian James, 1971 01:54:40.239 --> 01:54:42.000 welcome back to the morning show. It's always good having 1972 01:54:42.000 --> 01:54:42.840 you on the program. 1973 01:54:43.600 --> 01:54:45.760 Yeah, and it's always good to be here with you. 1974 01:54:45.840 --> 01:54:48.039 And it's always good to have a batch of headlines 1975 01:54:48.039 --> 01:54:50.560 from the weekend to discuss, don't we Isn't. 1976 01:54:50.319 --> 01:54:54.159 That the truth? And we were talking about gross domestic 1977 01:54:54.239 --> 01:54:57.640 product and four point twenty five to four point five 1978 01:54:57.680 --> 01:55:00.239 percent in terms of the FED and its rate, and 1979 01:55:01.000 --> 01:55:03.680 sadly the third topic really is so concerning to me. 1980 01:55:03.800 --> 01:55:06.479 Young families can't able, can't afford to buy a home. 1981 01:55:06.560 --> 01:55:08.560 But let's dive on into the terraffs. And if you 1982 01:55:08.560 --> 01:55:11.159 look at the White House dot gov fact sheet in 1983 01:55:11.199 --> 01:55:14.159 case people aren't really aware, of exactly why Donald Trump 1984 01:55:14.199 --> 01:55:18.439 put tariffs on Canada and Mexico and China. He cited 1985 01:55:19.279 --> 01:55:23.399 fentanyl and the borders, the illegal immigration. Those are the 1986 01:55:23.439 --> 01:55:27.000 two main things that he is he's promoting these tariffs for. He's, 1987 01:55:27.039 --> 01:55:28.880 you know, shut down the borders or help us with 1988 01:55:28.880 --> 01:55:34.239 border security and quit shipping fentanyl into our country. Declaring 1989 01:55:34.239 --> 01:55:36.920 a national emergency based on that under the International Emergency 1990 01:55:36.960 --> 01:55:39.680 Economic Powers Act. I guess I have to ask out loud, 1991 01:55:39.800 --> 01:55:43.319 not knowing really anything about the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 1992 01:55:43.720 --> 01:55:47.119 is this something that could be subject to legal charger 1993 01:55:47.720 --> 01:55:51.119 illegal action or Congress could step in and take them away? 1994 01:55:51.239 --> 01:55:53.800 I really, I really don't know that. I'll stay out loud. 1995 01:55:53.800 --> 01:55:56.479 Brian, Yeah, I know, And I think that there's a 1996 01:55:56.520 --> 01:55:58.720 lot of us who aren't clear exactly on what the 1997 01:55:59.000 --> 01:56:03.159 what the legal implifications are of these decisions, because sometimes 1998 01:56:03.439 --> 01:56:06.479 we hear that decision was made and executive order was issued, 1999 01:56:06.520 --> 01:56:08.880 and somebody else will say, wait a minute, that's completely illegal. 2000 01:56:08.920 --> 01:56:13.079 In some cases they've been declared unconstitutional, but nobody has 2001 01:56:13.119 --> 01:56:16.600 stepped up and actually acted on any of those perceptions 2002 01:56:16.880 --> 01:56:19.239 of these executive orders. So this is a president we've 2003 01:56:19.279 --> 01:56:22.439 seen before. Obviously, we know he's willing to push the envelope. 2004 01:56:22.520 --> 01:56:25.239 He certainly is this time around with kind of nothing 2005 01:56:25.239 --> 01:56:27.920 to lose as a basically a lame duck under current 2006 01:56:28.000 --> 01:56:30.359 rules because he can't run for election again. So yeah, 2007 01:56:30.399 --> 01:56:32.359 that's what we've been seeing. And everything has come fast 2008 01:56:32.359 --> 01:56:33.560 and furious since inauguration. 2009 01:56:33.920 --> 01:56:36.279 Well, and it's going to be across the board. I 2010 01:56:36.279 --> 01:56:38.560 don't know how anybody can say that this will not 2011 01:56:38.920 --> 01:56:42.880 have an impact on prices. I mean, you're raising you're 2012 01:56:42.920 --> 01:56:46.399 putting tariffs on these goods. I think necessarily the price 2013 01:56:46.479 --> 01:56:49.159 is going to be passed along to the consumer. And 2014 01:56:49.199 --> 01:56:51.760 it's a huge swath of goods. I got a kick 2015 01:56:51.760 --> 01:56:53.520 out of some of the ones that the Wall Street 2016 01:56:53.560 --> 01:56:58.439 Journal identified, like cherry tomatoes, Tanka trucks. They mentioned this 2017 01:56:58.600 --> 01:57:02.000 specifically because they're all in China, but they also pointed 2018 01:57:02.039 --> 01:57:03.800 out that more than eighty percent of toys sold in 2019 01:57:03.800 --> 01:57:07.479 the United States are made in China. Maple syrup, you know, 2020 01:57:07.560 --> 01:57:09.760 tap your own maple trees in the backyard like we did, 2021 01:57:09.800 --> 01:57:14.479 I guess, tequila, avocados, smartphones from China subject to a 2022 01:57:14.520 --> 01:57:16.920 ten percent increase in tariffin in the last one. I 2023 01:57:16.960 --> 01:57:21.119 really got to kick out of sledge hammers made in China. 2024 01:57:21.199 --> 01:57:24.119 Sledge hammers are already subject to a twenty five percent import tax, 2025 01:57:24.159 --> 01:57:28.359 although we do have some sledge hammer manufacturers here in 2026 01:57:28.399 --> 01:57:30.960 the United States. But it goes way beyond those ones 2027 01:57:30.960 --> 01:57:33.000 that were identified, it does. 2028 01:57:33.039 --> 01:57:35.319 Now, hold on one second while I check sledge hammer futures. 2029 01:57:35.359 --> 01:57:36.520 Yeah, yeah, let's do that. 2030 01:57:37.359 --> 01:57:39.880 But I think know that that's that is a fascinating list. 2031 01:57:40.079 --> 01:57:42.199 And you and I could go find another article right 2032 01:57:42.239 --> 01:57:44.920 now that'll have twenty seven other products that you didn't 2033 01:57:45.000 --> 01:57:48.159 just mention. So I think that's that. This this is 2034 01:57:48.199 --> 01:57:50.880 what what you know, what we've been calling it. You know, 2035 01:57:50.960 --> 01:57:53.199 over the weekend you're starting to hear the words trade war. 2036 01:57:53.279 --> 01:57:56.560 Other countries are now calling it a trade war. So this, 2037 01:57:56.560 --> 01:58:00.079 this is very much so the present, delivering on the 2038 01:58:00.079 --> 01:58:02.399 the promises that he made. Now, one thing he didn't 2039 01:58:02.439 --> 01:58:05.520 seem to have mentioned until now is that, oh, by 2040 01:58:05.600 --> 01:58:07.359 the way, this is going to cost us. As you 2041 01:58:07.399 --> 01:58:09.079 were hinting, prices are going to go up. There's no 2042 01:58:09.119 --> 01:58:11.279 way to avoid that. Over the weekend he said, yeah, 2043 01:58:11.359 --> 01:58:13.800 price must be paid, but the end result will be 2044 01:58:13.840 --> 01:58:16.600 all worth it. But there could be some pain in 2045 01:58:16.640 --> 01:58:18.800 the near future here so he didn't really mention that 2046 01:58:18.880 --> 01:58:21.239 during the campaign. That's obviously not something you expect to 2047 01:58:21.239 --> 01:58:23.399 gain any votes by really shining a light on. But 2048 01:58:23.800 --> 01:58:27.840 there is no way to slap tariffs on companies who 2049 01:58:27.840 --> 01:58:30.760 are looking to make a profit and force those companies 2050 01:58:30.800 --> 01:58:34.479 to only take it out of their profits. They're going 2051 01:58:34.520 --> 01:58:37.079 to raise prices. This is the United States of profit 2052 01:58:37.119 --> 01:58:39.439 margin companies who are having to deal with these costs. 2053 01:58:39.479 --> 01:58:41.079 And it might might it might be a company that 2054 01:58:41.159 --> 01:58:44.159 you perceive is an American company, but they may be 2055 01:58:44.279 --> 01:58:48.119 bringing parts in from to build. Cars are a great example. 2056 01:58:48.159 --> 01:58:51.760 For one, part inside of a car may literally go 2057 01:58:51.840 --> 01:58:55.920 back across the border of Canada and or Mexico several 2058 01:58:55.960 --> 01:58:58.239 times before it lands in its final car. So it 2059 01:58:58.279 --> 01:59:00.520 may be an American brand, you may beying it from 2060 01:59:00.600 --> 01:59:03.159 what you feel in American dealership, but the parts in 2061 01:59:03.199 --> 01:59:06.279 it could be coming from multiple countries that will all 2062 01:59:06.319 --> 01:59:08.159 add up and wind up on that windowsticker. 2063 01:59:08.760 --> 01:59:14.079 Well, and to some effect, the threat of tariffs has 2064 01:59:14.159 --> 01:59:16.560 kind of worked, I know in terms of repatriating some 2065 01:59:16.600 --> 01:59:19.239 of the illegal immigrants. Some certain countries have said, okay, 2066 01:59:19.319 --> 01:59:22.800 we'll take them back under threat of Donald Trump retaliating 2067 01:59:22.800 --> 01:59:26.039 against him. And is that really the impact he's looking for? 2068 01:59:26.479 --> 01:59:28.520 And again going back to the fact sheet, this is 2069 01:59:28.680 --> 01:59:34.239 purely based upon FENTONYL and illegal immigration. Now, we, I think, 2070 01:59:34.279 --> 01:59:37.800 to a large degree, can control the border because obviously 2071 01:59:37.800 --> 01:59:40.199 they're cracking down on it already. We did have a 2072 01:59:40.399 --> 01:59:44.880 more secure border in prior administrations, but more resources went 2073 01:59:44.960 --> 01:59:49.199 down there for walls and security and warm bodies in 2074 01:59:49.239 --> 01:59:51.800 the form of ice agents. I think you could curtail 2075 01:59:52.079 --> 01:59:55.079 one of the two identified problems to a large extent. 2076 01:59:55.119 --> 01:59:58.840 Now Canada represents a more sizable challenge considering that is 2077 01:59:58.960 --> 02:00:01.640 pretty much a why open border, and it is a 2078 02:00:01.680 --> 02:00:05.920 big one. But I guess I'm just wondering what resources 2079 02:00:05.960 --> 02:00:09.479 the Mexican government could even bring to bear since their 2080 02:00:09.520 --> 02:00:13.199 country is largely controlled by and feel free to disagree, 2081 02:00:13.279 --> 02:00:15.039 but it's been my conclusion over the years that the 2082 02:00:15.079 --> 02:00:19.079 CAR tells they have a substantial amount of power in Mexico, 2083 02:00:19.159 --> 02:00:21.000 and here's Trump trying to take away one of their 2084 02:00:21.000 --> 02:00:24.640 primary sources of income, which is drugs and varying illegal 2085 02:00:24.680 --> 02:00:26.119 immigrants to the southern border. 2086 02:00:27.520 --> 02:00:29.720 Right, And I think you raise a great point in 2087 02:00:29.800 --> 02:00:32.560 terms of there's there is a lot of enforcements or 2088 02:00:32.560 --> 02:00:35.039 at least much more on the south side than there 2089 02:00:35.079 --> 02:00:37.079 is on north side. So I think when when when 2090 02:00:37.119 --> 02:00:40.880 we when we uh lay a levy energy tarists, for example, 2091 02:00:40.880 --> 02:00:42.640 against Canada, and not a lot of people know this. 2092 02:00:42.720 --> 02:00:45.279 I think it's becoming a more popular news item where 2093 02:00:45.319 --> 02:00:47.520 people are going, huh, I didn't know that Canada is 2094 02:00:47.760 --> 02:00:50.920 the largest of among the countries the United States brings 2095 02:00:50.920 --> 02:00:54.279 in oil from Canada is the largest one, so that 2096 02:00:54.279 --> 02:00:56.399 that's so obviously we were trying to poke them in 2097 02:00:56.439 --> 02:00:58.359 the eye. Of course, that's maybe maybe there's better ways 2098 02:00:58.399 --> 02:01:00.720 to handle up. That's effectively what we're doing to get 2099 02:01:00.720 --> 02:01:04.000 their attention on the fentanyl issue. But I think also 2100 02:01:04.079 --> 02:01:06.560 what's underlying this. To me, this is the first shot 2101 02:01:07.119 --> 02:01:10.039 across the bow of we want to be producing much more. 2102 02:01:10.239 --> 02:01:14.279 We want to import less and produce more domestically. So 2103 02:01:14.439 --> 02:01:17.680 first off, let's just make domestic oil more expensive. However 2104 02:01:17.720 --> 02:01:20.520 we can do it, and we'll call it fentanyl, and 2105 02:01:20.560 --> 02:01:22.680 we'll call it illegal immigration or whatever. But let's just 2106 02:01:22.720 --> 02:01:26.800 slap oil tariffs on Canada. That will force us to say, hey, 2107 02:01:26.840 --> 02:01:29.439 imported oil is more expensive. It's going to drive the 2108 02:01:29.479 --> 02:01:31.840 price up. That will get the attention of the domestic 2109 02:01:31.920 --> 02:01:34.439 drillers and the drill baby drill thing. Right now, domestic 2110 02:01:34.479 --> 02:01:36.560 oil companies don't really want to drill so much. They're 2111 02:01:36.560 --> 02:01:39.119 not super excited about it because oil prices are not 2112 02:01:39.239 --> 02:01:42.039 that high. If we drive it up, this is Trump's thinking. 2113 02:01:42.039 --> 02:01:44.239 I believe if we drive that price up, they'll be 2114 02:01:44.319 --> 02:01:47.359 more attracted to go drill. And take into account the 2115 02:01:47.880 --> 02:01:50.039 executive orders he has put out there over the past 2116 02:01:50.119 --> 02:01:52.680 few weeks to make drilling easier. Right now, the profit 2117 02:01:52.760 --> 02:01:55.159 isn't there for them, but based on oil futures from 2118 02:01:55.239 --> 02:01:57.800 last night that bounced about two percent to the upside, 2119 02:01:57.880 --> 02:01:59.560 it looks like it's going to go more attractive for him. 2120 02:01:59.720 --> 02:02:02.600 Well, and doesn't this sort of fly in the face 2121 02:02:02.640 --> 02:02:06.520 of you know, rebuilding or going back to build the 2122 02:02:06.920 --> 02:02:10.199 Keystone Xole pipeline because that brings oil from Canada into 2123 02:02:10.199 --> 02:02:13.279 the United States right correct? 2124 02:02:13.279 --> 02:02:14.680 And now I haven't heard him mention that in a 2125 02:02:14.760 --> 02:02:17.520 very very long I know, I know, so I think 2126 02:02:17.680 --> 02:02:19.560 I don't think that's a major priority for him. It 2127 02:02:19.600 --> 02:02:21.720 was a hot point because I think that was a 2128 02:02:21.760 --> 02:02:23.920 poke in the eye to the to the liberal side 2129 02:02:24.479 --> 02:02:27.399 that wanted that shut down because of it for environmental reasons. 2130 02:02:27.399 --> 02:02:29.920 And so forth. But that was never really his objective. 2131 02:02:29.960 --> 02:02:32.680 I think his objective is for more domestic oil. So 2132 02:02:32.720 --> 02:02:35.279 that's why we haven't heard the word keystone all through this. 2133 02:02:35.439 --> 02:02:37.199 I haven't heard that since the since the election. 2134 02:02:37.479 --> 02:02:40.119 Yeah, and I get in terms of and I understand 2135 02:02:40.279 --> 02:02:43.880 maybe the motivating force behind increasing the price of Canadian 2136 02:02:43.920 --> 02:02:46.239 oil in the United States is exactly what you said. 2137 02:02:46.279 --> 02:02:50.199 But those projects don't come online very quickly. I mean, 2138 02:02:50.199 --> 02:02:52.960 it takes a while to ramp up a drilling project, 2139 02:02:53.000 --> 02:02:54.680 doesn't it exactly. 2140 02:02:54.760 --> 02:02:57.000 And that's why that's the pain he's talking about. He 2141 02:02:57.039 --> 02:02:59.159 can't talk about pain when he's trying to win an election. 2142 02:02:59.439 --> 02:03:02.520 Candidate Trump doesn't have to talk about that. President Trump 2143 02:03:02.560 --> 02:03:04.159 has to give us a heads up that hey, this 2144 02:03:04.239 --> 02:03:06.760 might hurt for a little while, so that six months later, 2145 02:03:06.800 --> 02:03:09.239 when a little while is still happening, because we haven't 2146 02:03:09.279 --> 02:03:11.640 started much of this domestic production yet, he can say 2147 02:03:11.680 --> 02:03:13.560 I told you about this way back in February. It 2148 02:03:13.600 --> 02:03:15.680 was going to hurt. We got to pay the price, good, bad, 2149 02:03:15.720 --> 02:03:18.399 and different. That's the reality that we're curry in currently. 2150 02:03:18.119 --> 02:03:20.399 In And going back to my question about you know, 2151 02:03:20.479 --> 02:03:24.279 legal challenges, I mean, we currently have a trade agreements 2152 02:03:24.439 --> 02:03:26.760 or trade agreements in place with Canada and Mexico. Didn't 2153 02:03:26.760 --> 02:03:30.359 Trump negotiate that when he was president the first time around. Sure, 2154 02:03:30.399 --> 02:03:30.960 there's a lot. 2155 02:03:30.880 --> 02:03:32.439 Of things he did when he was president the first 2156 02:03:32.479 --> 02:03:35.520 time around that don't seem to hold any bearing. Now, 2157 02:03:35.520 --> 02:03:38.199 look at all the people he appointed that now he's firing. 2158 02:03:38.239 --> 02:03:39.920 A lot of the firings you're hearing are his own 2159 02:03:39.960 --> 02:03:42.640 people from six eight years ago. So I don't know 2160 02:03:42.680 --> 02:03:45.720 that history necessarily means much of anything. It's just the 2161 02:03:45.760 --> 02:03:48.159 reality of you know, his his window he looks at 2162 02:03:48.199 --> 02:03:49.520 is what do I see right now? What do I 2163 02:03:49.560 --> 02:03:50.239 need to do about it? 2164 02:03:50.239 --> 02:03:53.439 The history is irrelevant, it sure is. And going back 2165 02:03:53.479 --> 02:03:57.399 to the whole idea about drugs, you know, drugs have 2166 02:03:57.439 --> 02:04:00.199 been coming into this country since before I was born. 2167 02:04:01.000 --> 02:04:03.239 It's the demand that is the problem. I mean, if 2168 02:04:03.279 --> 02:04:05.600 we weren't a nation of a bunch of addicts and 2169 02:04:06.199 --> 02:04:09.199 cravers of drugs, then this wouldn't even be an issue. 2170 02:04:09.239 --> 02:04:12.720 I know that's a simple statement to make, but Lord Almighty, 2171 02:04:12.960 --> 02:04:16.359 it's just I don't get it. That just seems to 2172 02:04:16.359 --> 02:04:18.479 be should be another way to skin a cat, if 2173 02:04:18.520 --> 02:04:20.479 you know what I mean, Rather than going down this road, 2174 02:04:20.560 --> 02:04:22.199 but here we find ourselves. 2175 02:04:23.239 --> 02:04:26.079 Yeah, when I step back and look at the biggest 2176 02:04:26.079 --> 02:04:28.079 of big pictures, you know, I always use the term 2177 02:04:28.119 --> 02:04:30.520 the United States a profit margin, and we've seen that 2178 02:04:30.600 --> 02:04:33.079 is our number one focus, and it always has been 2179 02:04:33.119 --> 02:04:36.159 how much more money can we make? And the wider 2180 02:04:36.199 --> 02:04:40.079 we spread that the profit margin range, the more people 2181 02:04:40.079 --> 02:04:41.640 get hurt on the bottom end of it. If you're 2182 02:04:41.640 --> 02:04:43.680 born in the top two thirds of wealth in this country, 2183 02:04:43.720 --> 02:04:45.520 you're gonna be okay. But if you're in the bottom third, 2184 02:04:46.119 --> 02:04:49.199 you're gonna struggle. And we tend to, unfortunately take advantage 2185 02:04:49.239 --> 02:04:51.119 of that group of people. And I think that has 2186 02:04:51.159 --> 02:04:53.239 a lot to do with the addiction issues that we've seen. 2187 02:04:53.279 --> 02:04:54.439 I don't know how to fix it. And if you 2188 02:04:54.439 --> 02:04:56.119 and I could push a button right now this morning, 2189 02:04:56.119 --> 02:04:59.600 we do it. But right now, profit margin Trump's everything. 2190 02:05:00.119 --> 02:05:02.159 I get it all day long. Well, let's talk gross 2191 02:05:02.159 --> 02:05:06.079 domestic product and fed interest rates. Then we'll finally in 2192 02:05:06.159 --> 02:05:09.479 the third segment, get to the sad reality of lack 2193 02:05:09.520 --> 02:05:13.000 of affordable housing. American dream kind of taking a side 2194 02:05:13.000 --> 02:05:16.079 step here, but first twenty two three. You show up 2195 02:05:16.079 --> 02:05:18.239 at twenty two three on Route forty two between Mason eleven. 2196 02:05:18.319 --> 02:05:21.079 If you have any interest in a suppressor, they're doing 2197 02:05:21.119 --> 02:05:24.319 a demo day this Saturday between ten am and four pm. 2198 02:05:24.600 --> 02:05:28.439 Shaw Armament on hand with what are described to some 2199 02:05:28.479 --> 02:05:32.840 really amazing suppressors that are serviceable, modular and chamber or 2200 02:05:32.920 --> 02:05:36.159 caliber rather changeable. So if you know suppressors, that is 2201 02:05:36.199 --> 02:05:38.159 a big deal. And if you don't know them, want 2202 02:05:38.199 --> 02:05:40.359 to find out what they're all about and try one out. 2203 02:05:40.720 --> 02:05:42.880 Stop by twenty two three on Route forty two between 2204 02:05:42.880 --> 02:05:47.199 Mason eleven and learn straight from the representative. It's a 2205 02:05:47.199 --> 02:05:48.960 great way to find out about them. Check out twenty 2206 02:05:48.960 --> 02:05:51.439 two to three this Saturday beginning a ten again to 2207 02:05:51.600 --> 02:05:55.199 four pm Route forty two between Mason and elevenon online. 2208 02:05:55.279 --> 02:05:58.079 Get other information online at the website twenty two the 2209 02:05:58.159 --> 02:06:00.560 number followed by the word three spelled out twenty two 2210 02:06:00.880 --> 02:06:02.039 three dot. 2211 02:06:01.800 --> 02:06:03.439 Com fifty five KRC. 2212 02:06:04.000 --> 02:06:07.840 For more information about contests on this station, go to a. 2213 02:06:07.880 --> 02:06:10.760 Twenty fifty five KRCD talk station doing that money Monday 2214 02:06:10.840 --> 02:06:15.479 thing with all our financials Brian James, all Right, is 2215 02:06:15.520 --> 02:06:17.800 the R word going to come up in our conversation today? 2216 02:06:17.800 --> 02:06:20.640 Brian James A Federal Reserve holding interest rate to four 2217 02:06:20.680 --> 02:06:22.640 to a quarter to four and a half percent, plus 2218 02:06:22.640 --> 02:06:25.479 we have a new gdpeak final quarter review figure. So 2219 02:06:25.600 --> 02:06:26.800 what's this all mean. 2220 02:06:27.840 --> 02:06:29.399 I'm not going to say the R word. I don't 2221 02:06:29.399 --> 02:06:32.720 want to jinx anything, so fair enough, but we would 2222 02:06:32.800 --> 02:06:34.600 not not looking so bad at the moment we do. 2223 02:06:34.920 --> 02:06:37.159 We do seem to be slowing down. So so fourth 2224 02:06:37.239 --> 02:06:39.720 quarter GDP came in at two point three percent. That's 2225 02:06:39.760 --> 02:06:42.920 a deceleration from last quarter, which is three point one percent. 2226 02:06:43.159 --> 02:06:45.279 These are all annualized numbers. So we do is we 2227 02:06:45.279 --> 02:06:47.239 get the number for a three month period, we multiply 2228 02:06:47.279 --> 02:06:49.800 it by four, and we declare that to be what 2229 02:06:49.880 --> 02:06:52.199 the what we think the economy would do over a year. 2230 02:06:52.479 --> 02:06:55.560 So we're falling a little bit short of the economists 2231 02:06:55.600 --> 02:06:58.079 want two point tanted two point six percent, So we 2232 02:06:58.159 --> 02:06:59.840 fell a little bit short of that. Things seem to be. 2233 02:07:00.640 --> 02:07:02.840 I do think some of that could be accounted for 2234 02:07:03.119 --> 02:07:05.960 by the idea that, especially toward the end of the quarter, 2235 02:07:06.319 --> 02:07:08.960 companies may have been backing off a bit on investments 2236 02:07:09.000 --> 02:07:12.159 that they were going to make, waiting for this inauguration 2237 02:07:12.239 --> 02:07:14.159 to occur and to see what's coming here in the 2238 02:07:14.239 --> 02:07:16.680 first quarter. In darn it all, we sure are seeing 2239 02:07:16.680 --> 02:07:19.159 it here in the short run. So Federal Reserve as 2240 02:07:19.159 --> 02:07:23.439 for their position, they held the interest rates, and we 2241 02:07:23.479 --> 02:07:25.600 want to keep an interest rates in the target right 2242 02:07:25.640 --> 02:07:27.439 now four and a quarter four and a half percent. 2243 02:07:27.760 --> 02:07:29.680 This wasn't a big surprise. We kind of expected this 2244 02:07:29.720 --> 02:07:32.239 pause really for the same reason Jerome Powell has said 2245 02:07:32.439 --> 02:07:34.640 he wants to see how the economy is going to 2246 02:07:34.960 --> 02:07:38.680 respond to the different changes coming out of the Trump administration. 2247 02:07:38.359 --> 02:07:39.039 Like tariffs. 2248 02:07:39.920 --> 02:07:42.880 Yeah, such as the things we've been talking about. 2249 02:07:42.680 --> 02:07:45.039 Almore, Well, let's get that and let's just se see 2250 02:07:45.079 --> 02:07:47.239 we can't tie those two together. If as you and 2251 02:07:47.319 --> 02:07:49.920 I kind of expected, and I think logical thinking people 2252 02:07:49.960 --> 02:07:51.960 will expect the same thing. Prices is going to go 2253 02:07:52.079 --> 02:07:54.640 up at least for quite a few goods and services. 2254 02:07:55.800 --> 02:07:57.680 What will that be, by way, what would the Fed's 2255 02:07:57.760 --> 02:08:01.319 response to that price increase in terms of interest rate? 2256 02:08:02.319 --> 02:08:04.159 Well, the Fed is going to wait to see inflation. 2257 02:08:04.199 --> 02:08:06.560 I mean that that's their goal is to control inflation. 2258 02:08:06.920 --> 02:08:09.600 Inflation isn't that bad right now? Certainly not where we 2259 02:08:09.600 --> 02:08:12.640 were a few summers ago. At nine percent, It's slightly 2260 02:08:12.720 --> 02:08:16.199 higher than what we've wanted it to be. Core Core 2261 02:08:16.239 --> 02:08:18.479 PCE came in at two point eight percent, which was 2262 02:08:18.560 --> 02:08:21.800 right around the expectations, but a lot higher than what 2263 02:08:21.840 --> 02:08:25.399 that committee shoots for at two percent. Jobless claims were okay, 2264 02:08:25.439 --> 02:08:27.399 and new home sales are a little better than anticipated. 2265 02:08:27.439 --> 02:08:30.159 So we're not seeing the kind of things yet that 2266 02:08:30.279 --> 02:08:34.039 the Fed would indicate or are going to be inflationary, 2267 02:08:34.079 --> 02:08:36.520 and therefore we need to react at this point. Though 2268 02:08:36.560 --> 02:08:39.880 the market bonds are trading as though we're going to 2269 02:08:39.920 --> 02:08:42.439 see a cut in June. That is a very very 2270 02:08:42.479 --> 02:08:44.880 short term here's what's happening right now type of an update. 2271 02:08:44.960 --> 02:08:46.399 Let's keep an eye on out of the next few 2272 02:08:46.399 --> 02:08:48.239 weeks and see if that holds true. 2273 02:08:48.199 --> 02:08:50.079 And if it does, about it to be more like 2274 02:08:50.079 --> 02:08:51.239 a quarter point, wouldn't it. 2275 02:08:52.079 --> 02:08:54.920 Yeah, We're not in a situation where we've got raging 2276 02:08:54.960 --> 02:08:58.720 inflation and raging deflation. Nothing's raging, So I would anticipate 2277 02:08:58.800 --> 02:09:01.159 more tapping of the brakes, tapping of the gas pedal 2278 02:09:01.199 --> 02:09:03.039 if we do anything at all in the short run, 2279 02:09:03.159 --> 02:09:06.000 but much more likely a very much wait and see approach. 2280 02:09:06.199 --> 02:09:08.680 Jerome Powell is not even reacting to how he's being 2281 02:09:08.680 --> 02:09:12.680 disparaged by the president who actually appointed him in twenty seventeen. 2282 02:09:12.920 --> 02:09:14.880 So Donald Trump would like to see lower rates sooner 2283 02:09:14.960 --> 02:09:17.680 rather than later, but he does not appear to be 2284 02:09:17.800 --> 02:09:19.840 ready to get rid of Jerome Powell to the extent 2285 02:09:19.840 --> 02:09:22.199 that he could at at this point. 2286 02:09:22.319 --> 02:09:25.600 Isn't it kind of a weird faw and ignoring whether 2287 02:09:25.600 --> 02:09:29.000 you're a foe or against Donald Trump's decision to tariff 2288 02:09:29.920 --> 02:09:32.840 that we expect it's going to increase the prices prices, Well, 2289 02:09:32.960 --> 02:09:36.199 that's an inflationary thing done because tariff's have been put 2290 02:09:36.199 --> 02:09:39.880 in place, and the Federal reserves job is to manage 2291 02:09:39.920 --> 02:09:44.520 inflations through its interest rates, so that's a completely separate function. 2292 02:09:44.640 --> 02:09:48.840 It's like there's a strange connect slash disconnect that's going 2293 02:09:48.880 --> 02:09:50.760 on here between one side and the other. 2294 02:09:51.880 --> 02:09:53.560 Well, I think the good news for Trump is that 2295 02:09:53.600 --> 02:09:56.479 people are sensitive to inflation. We just had that nine percent, 2296 02:09:56.520 --> 02:09:58.560 as I mentioned, and people still talk about that as 2297 02:09:58.560 --> 02:10:01.000 if it's still here. Not the case anymore. 2298 02:10:01.600 --> 02:10:03.560 I'm still at the grocery store. But that's I mean 2299 02:10:03.600 --> 02:10:06.439 that has there's a lot of layers in the grocery 2300 02:10:06.439 --> 02:10:07.079 store prices. 2301 02:10:07.079 --> 02:10:10.920 I understand that absolutely absolutely, But what I think that 2302 02:10:10.960 --> 02:10:14.279 gives him is some headroom to say, well, yeah, prices 2303 02:10:14.319 --> 02:10:15.960 have gone up here. You know this hasn't happened yet, 2304 02:10:15.960 --> 02:10:17.960 but I could see it playing out this way. After 2305 02:10:18.000 --> 02:10:21.119 we do see some inflation resulting directly from the tariffs 2306 02:10:21.159 --> 02:10:23.359 in the coming months, he could easily say, Yep, this 2307 02:10:23.479 --> 02:10:24.960 is the price we have to pay that I told 2308 02:10:25.000 --> 02:10:27.079 you about back in February. But at least it's not 2309 02:10:27.239 --> 02:10:30.279 nine percent like it was under the Biden administration. That's 2310 02:10:30.279 --> 02:10:32.359 how that's going to be positioned. So I'm pretty sure 2311 02:10:32.560 --> 02:10:34.479 Trump looks at this as though he's got some headroom 2312 02:10:34.479 --> 02:10:34.920 to work with. 2313 02:10:35.600 --> 02:10:38.199 Well, let's keep our popcorn out. We'll find out together. 2314 02:10:38.239 --> 02:10:40.920 Brian James pause and bring us I'm to talk about it. Yeah, 2315 02:10:41.000 --> 02:10:42.640 I know, I know. And one more thing we'll be 2316 02:10:42.720 --> 02:10:44.880 talking about, and I just I just just so badly 2317 02:10:44.920 --> 02:10:49.680 for young people these days, home affordability, American dream kind 2318 02:10:49.720 --> 02:10:52.720 of out of their reach at this point.

Happy 2344 02:11:59.520 --> 02:12:02.000 Monday Any money with Brian James. I'm all worth financial. 2345 02:12:02.039 --> 02:12:05.880 Appreciate being loaned out every Monday for a few segs, 2346 02:12:05.880 --> 02:12:08.800 but talk about money matters and get yourself a certified 2347 02:12:09.199 --> 02:12:11.159 financial plan or fee based one, so they have a 2348 02:12:11.159 --> 02:12:13.920 fiduciary obligation to you and you can plan for your retirement. 2349 02:12:13.960 --> 02:12:17.119 And I guess, in addition to lack of home affordability, 2350 02:12:17.119 --> 02:12:19.279 probably young people can't afford to put money away for 2351 02:12:19.359 --> 02:12:23.199 the retirement either. Brian, this is a sad reality settling 2352 02:12:23.239 --> 02:12:27.600 in here, lack of affordable housing and the American dream elusive, 2353 02:12:27.720 --> 02:12:30.000 a lot of kids still living at home with their parents, 2354 02:12:30.000 --> 02:12:33.680 and I understand that it's just an Is there any 2355 02:12:33.720 --> 02:12:35.560 end in sight on this and what would it take 2356 02:12:35.640 --> 02:12:37.319 to change this landscape? 2357 02:12:38.239 --> 02:12:41.239 Well, they say that you only dream during rem sleep, 2358 02:12:41.279 --> 02:12:43.199 and I don't think Americans are getting as much rem 2359 02:12:43.319 --> 02:12:45.520 sleep as we used to, So I'm not sure that 2360 02:12:45.560 --> 02:12:47.600 the implications of the American dream are all that wonderful 2361 02:12:47.680 --> 02:12:49.920 right now. It is right, You're right, it's very tough 2362 02:12:49.960 --> 02:12:53.199 out there. Anybody who's got young, young adults trying to 2363 02:12:53.239 --> 02:12:55.399 launch themselves into the world and be independent. It's a 2364 02:12:55.479 --> 02:12:58.680 challenge even if they can afford the house payment that 2365 02:12:58.760 --> 02:13:01.359 almost always comes direct in the face of oh yeah, 2366 02:13:01.399 --> 02:13:02.960 by the way, don't forget you're gonna have to fund 2367 02:13:03.000 --> 02:13:05.760 your own retirements because social Security is probably not going 2368 02:13:05.840 --> 02:13:08.079 to look much like it does right now. So don't 2369 02:13:08.079 --> 02:13:10.720 forget that mortgage payment and retirement all by the way, 2370 02:13:10.800 --> 02:13:13.720 got by lunch too, So it's a tough challenge right now. 2371 02:13:14.079 --> 02:13:17.319 And energy bills and repair cost. You know, the furnace 2372 02:13:17.399 --> 02:13:19.119 is going to go out at some point, the roof 2373 02:13:19.159 --> 02:13:21.199 is going to have to be replaced at some point. 2374 02:13:21.279 --> 02:13:24.960 It's just you know, I've owned a homes since nineteen 2375 02:13:25.119 --> 02:13:27.680 ninety and I know exactly how much it can cost. 2376 02:13:28.640 --> 02:13:30.880 Yeah, and then the problem is not too much avocado 2377 02:13:30.920 --> 02:13:36.359 toast either. That's the fund Sully headliner sledgehammers exactly. Young 2378 02:13:36.359 --> 02:13:38.960 people can't afford sledghammers. However, will they make it now 2379 02:13:38.960 --> 02:13:40.640 that these are real issues? And I don't mean to 2380 02:13:40.640 --> 02:13:41.199 make light of them. 2381 02:13:41.239 --> 02:13:41.399 No. 2382 02:13:41.800 --> 02:13:45.640 Since since nineteen seventy nine, middle wage workers have gone up, 2383 02:13:46.159 --> 02:13:49.279 have seen their wages increase only about sixteen point eight percent. 2384 02:13:49.640 --> 02:13:52.640 That's an annualized growth rate of zero point four percent 2385 02:13:52.760 --> 02:13:55.279 per year. Now, if you look at home prices, one 2386 02:13:55.359 --> 02:13:58.399 hundred thousand dollars home in the late seventies would be 2387 02:13:58.399 --> 02:14:00.800 something like three quarters of a million eight hundred thousand 2388 02:14:00.840 --> 02:14:04.119 dollars right now. So wages have simply not come up 2389 02:14:04.159 --> 02:14:07.760 with homes. Homes stopped being the American dream. They became 2390 02:14:07.800 --> 02:14:11.439 an investment, just like anything else, a speculative, commoditized investment, 2391 02:14:12.079 --> 02:14:14.279 sometime in the past, well really slowly over the past 2392 02:14:14.279 --> 02:14:18.560 several decades. So the economy as a whole doesn't really 2393 02:14:18.560 --> 02:14:21.359 care that it costs young people an awful lot more 2394 02:14:21.399 --> 02:14:23.319 as a percentage of their paycheck to own a home. 2395 02:14:23.560 --> 02:14:25.760 All we really care about is, hey, that's an investment 2396 02:14:25.800 --> 02:14:27.840 I can throw money at and it will grow, and 2397 02:14:27.880 --> 02:14:30.560 I don't really have to worry about the side impacts 2398 02:14:30.760 --> 02:14:32.680 on other people because I'll just blame them on spending 2399 02:14:32.720 --> 02:14:35.920 too much on avocado toast. Well that's our philosophy right now. 2400 02:14:36.000 --> 02:14:38.680 Yeah, but there was a time, and I know there 2401 02:14:38.720 --> 02:14:42.039 always have been big houses being built, But I remember 2402 02:14:42.159 --> 02:14:45.439 my grandpa marsh my mom's dad, and grandma. They had 2403 02:14:45.520 --> 02:14:47.920 a little house on Cooper Drive in Lexington, and I 2404 02:14:47.920 --> 02:14:49.800 don't know how many square feet it was, but it 2405 02:14:49.880 --> 02:14:53.439 was not a very large home. Three boys, she had 2406 02:14:54.000 --> 02:14:58.000 three brothers. They all swept in one room in the roofline. 2407 02:14:58.039 --> 02:14:58.159 You know. 2408 02:14:58.159 --> 02:15:00.800 It was a walk up, but it was one big room, 2409 02:15:00.840 --> 02:15:03.159 three beds in it. You know, nobody had their own bedroom. 2410 02:15:03.439 --> 02:15:06.439 My mom had a separate one downstairs, but very modest. 2411 02:15:06.439 --> 02:15:09.600 And and you know, I never remember my grandfather being 2412 02:15:09.720 --> 02:15:12.399 upset or unhappy. He always had a you know, contented 2413 02:15:12.479 --> 02:15:15.359 view of life. And you know, just work for IBM, 2414 02:15:15.479 --> 02:15:19.800 and I just I think our expectations on what we're 2415 02:15:19.800 --> 02:15:22.680 supposed to have by way of house has changed dramatically, 2416 02:15:22.720 --> 02:15:25.319 and they just they start churning out these big houses, 2417 02:15:25.399 --> 02:15:29.000 these mega mansions, and even the smaller homes are much 2418 02:15:29.079 --> 02:15:30.960 much much bigger than they used to be, and of 2419 02:15:31.000 --> 02:15:34.119 course that's going to directly impact affordability. You see some 2420 02:15:34.119 --> 02:15:36.880 sort of perhaps sea change in how we perceive housing, 2421 02:15:36.960 --> 02:15:40.319 like the smaller houses being becoming more popular. Obviously they're 2422 02:15:40.359 --> 02:15:41.279 cheaper to build. 2423 02:15:42.880 --> 02:15:46.800 Yeah, I absolutely do. Smaller houses are becoming more popular. 2424 02:15:46.880 --> 02:15:48.520 Not because people go, hey, I want to live in 2425 02:15:48.560 --> 02:15:50.880 a smaller house. People go, hey, I can't afford a 2426 02:15:50.920 --> 02:15:52.840 bigger houses. This is the best I can do. And 2427 02:15:52.880 --> 02:15:55.680 I think that drives a lot of conflict really between 2428 02:15:55.680 --> 02:15:58.439 the generations. I don't ever remember I'm fifty years old, 2429 02:15:58.439 --> 02:16:00.319 so I've been around a couple of blocks. I don't 2430 02:16:00.359 --> 02:16:04.119 ever remember there being conflict between generations like there is now. 2431 02:16:04.560 --> 02:16:07.840 I think what you're referring to, though, is that some generation, 2432 02:16:08.119 --> 02:16:09.920 at some point is going to have to be the 2433 02:16:09.960 --> 02:16:12.560 one to capitulate and say, you know what, we simply 2434 02:16:12.600 --> 02:16:14.760 will not have it as good as our forebears did. 2435 02:16:14.840 --> 02:16:16.520 We're going to have to take the hit before we 2436 02:16:16.560 --> 02:16:18.960 get to move forward. And if I'm fortunate not to 2437 02:16:19.000 --> 02:16:21.119 be in that situation, and I'm trying to guide my 2438 02:16:21.199 --> 02:16:23.279 kids away from getting too hung up on that because 2439 02:16:23.439 --> 02:16:26.039 the world is just plain changing, but I can see 2440 02:16:26.079 --> 02:16:28.840 where I would be extremely frustrated and bitter if I 2441 02:16:28.920 --> 02:16:30.479 was the one told you know what, it's just not 2442 02:16:30.520 --> 02:16:32.200 going to be as good as what you grew up watching. 2443 02:16:32.520 --> 02:16:35.600 Yeah, or maybe the perception of what equals good. Going 2444 02:16:35.639 --> 02:16:38.159 back to the cost of maintaining and up keeping a home, 2445 02:16:38.840 --> 02:16:40.360 you know, you have to furnish it, you got to 2446 02:16:40.399 --> 02:16:42.760 clean it, and you know, the smaller you have, smaller space, 2447 02:16:42.799 --> 02:16:45.079 you have to deal with, the less there is of that. 2448 02:16:45.280 --> 02:16:48.040 So comparatively speaking, the cost of voting a smaller home 2449 02:16:48.159 --> 02:16:50.680 is less than a big home, you know. I mean 2450 02:16:50.680 --> 02:16:52.440 there's some pus sides to it all. 2451 02:16:54.200 --> 02:16:58.120 There absolutely are but I think that doesn't really settle 2452 02:16:58.120 --> 02:17:01.280 in until somebody is truly in that situation. But them 2453 02:17:01.319 --> 02:17:04.520 putting themselves and I'm guess I'm picturing for a young 2454 02:17:04.600 --> 02:17:07.959 family that first trip around with the real estate agent 2455 02:17:08.280 --> 02:17:10.559 looking at what they can afford versus what they had 2456 02:17:10.559 --> 02:17:12.719 in their heads before they got in the car that morning. Yeah, 2457 02:17:12.760 --> 02:17:14.440 I think that is a cold water shock. 2458 02:17:15.239 --> 02:17:17.639 It is. And my wife regularly points back to the 2459 02:17:17.680 --> 02:17:20.360 eighties with lifestyles of the rich and famous, which she 2460 02:17:20.399 --> 02:17:23.600 thinks was a turning point and what really between what 2461 02:17:23.680 --> 02:17:26.559 truly really matters and what people just get envious of 2462 02:17:26.680 --> 02:17:28.959 and look to and believe that they are not going 2463 02:17:29.040 --> 02:17:32.159 to be happy unless they have what the Joneses have 2464 02:17:32.319 --> 02:17:33.760 down the street, if you know what I mean. 2465 02:17:34.479 --> 02:17:36.000 Yeah, And it's so much easier to see what the 2466 02:17:36.079 --> 02:17:38.879 Joneses have nowadays, and this is harder. Obviously, we've got 2467 02:17:38.879 --> 02:17:40.760 social media, so you can't get away from it even 2468 02:17:40.799 --> 02:17:42.879 if you want to, and you're trying to do the 2469 02:17:42.920 --> 02:17:46.120 same thing that This is how we drive profit profit 2470 02:17:46.440 --> 02:17:48.639 in the United States of profit margin. Get people excited 2471 02:17:48.639 --> 02:17:51.000 about something, whether they can afford it or not, and 2472 02:17:51.040 --> 02:17:52.959 take advantage of it, of the rush when it happens. 2473 02:17:53.399 --> 02:17:55.319 And here's one other thing I've observed over the years, 2474 02:17:55.360 --> 02:17:57.000 you know, this the idea that we're all going to 2475 02:17:57.000 --> 02:17:58.760 live in a house and have our own stuff and 2476 02:17:58.799 --> 02:18:02.239 things like that. If everybody in China, and I know 2477 02:18:02.239 --> 02:18:04.520 they have a housing issue in China of a different type, 2478 02:18:04.520 --> 02:18:06.719 but if every one of the one point two or 2479 02:18:06.760 --> 02:18:09.959 four billion people in China had felt that they had 2480 02:18:09.959 --> 02:18:12.239 to build a three thousand and four thousand, five thousand 2481 02:18:12.280 --> 02:18:14.920 square foot house, I think that would cause a problem 2482 02:18:14.920 --> 02:18:17.719 in terms of like natural resources and the ability to 2483 02:18:17.760 --> 02:18:21.280 even accomplish that. Yeah, I've thought of that a lot 2484 02:18:21.319 --> 02:18:24.120 recently too, as we you know, because the big pushback 2485 02:18:24.159 --> 02:18:27.719 here can be against suburban sprawl, because you know, every 2486 02:18:27.799 --> 02:18:29.319 year there's a new call to sat going up in 2487 02:18:29.360 --> 02:18:30.239 a cornfield somewhere. 2488 02:18:30.239 --> 02:18:33.440 That's especially happening around here, and there are people who 2489 02:18:33.520 --> 02:18:35.239 object to that and say we shouldn't be doing that, 2490 02:18:35.280 --> 02:18:38.399 We should be conserving, conserving, And I'm always thinking, wherever 2491 02:18:38.399 --> 02:18:40.200 that person lives, do you do you want to live 2492 02:18:40.200 --> 02:18:44.200 in a skyscraper with five thousand other families? You should 2493 02:18:44.200 --> 02:18:47.319 we all stay inside some little pasture somewhere. So, I mean, 2494 02:18:47.360 --> 02:18:50.360 I think there's logic to both sides. Yeah, but I 2495 02:18:50.399 --> 02:18:52.120 don't think the extremes are ever going to play a 2496 02:18:52.159 --> 02:18:52.559 role here. 2497 02:18:52.719 --> 02:18:55.040 Complicated it is, and we can only hope that at 2498 02:18:55.120 --> 02:18:58.159 least the home interest rates go down at least to 2499 02:18:58.200 --> 02:19:00.639 provide some measure of affordability for you young people. I 2500 02:19:00.680 --> 02:19:03.760 don't know, Brian. Always a distinct pleasure having you on 2501 02:19:03.799 --> 02:19:05.479 the program.

Welcome back, Todd Sledge. 2542 02:20:57.360 --> 02:21:00.000 It's always great having you on the show. Yeah, Bran, 2543 02:21:00.079 --> 02:21:01.600 it's always great to talk with you. 2544 02:21:01.680 --> 02:21:05.799 And as you said, share this, share the motivation to 2545 02:21:05.840 --> 02:21:07.840 make sure our veterans are connected with what they need 2546 02:21:07.840 --> 02:21:10.760 to know here in Cincinnati. Yes, indeed, So what is 2547 02:21:10.799 --> 02:21:14.520 coming to the VA this year, Well, many of our 2548 02:21:14.799 --> 02:21:17.440 veterans that are listening know that we've we've been under 2549 02:21:17.479 --> 02:21:19.959 a lot of construction for a very long period of time, 2550 02:21:20.520 --> 02:21:25.239 and so there are four significant plan completed projects for 2551 02:21:25.319 --> 02:21:28.440 twenty twenty five, and I just wanted to point those out, Brian, 2552 02:21:29.239 --> 02:21:33.879 because two of them are really going to be phenomenal 2553 02:21:33.920 --> 02:21:36.440 for us, and they involve two of our community based 2554 02:21:36.479 --> 02:21:41.639 out patient clinics where we are expanding, we continue to expand, 2555 02:21:41.760 --> 02:21:44.639 So those veterans out in Claremont County, the Eastgate area, 2556 02:21:44.760 --> 02:21:48.680 Milford and Mount Orb and Georgetown and the East side 2557 02:21:48.680 --> 02:21:51.760 of Cincinnati will be moving to a new new location 2558 02:21:52.799 --> 02:21:53.280 this fall. 2559 02:21:53.760 --> 02:21:54.360 It's over there. 2560 02:21:54.680 --> 02:21:57.360 I call it the TQL land over there in East 2561 02:21:57.399 --> 02:22:00.600 Cape where they've kind of taken over over there by 2562 02:22:00.600 --> 02:22:04.680 the TQL location. We're expanding our new clinic in the fall. 2563 02:22:04.840 --> 02:22:07.840 And what's significant about that move. We're also doing the 2564 02:22:07.879 --> 02:22:11.200 same thing with our Hamilton clinic out in Butler County, 2565 02:22:11.840 --> 02:22:15.399 and both of these facilities are doubling in size, so 2566 02:22:15.440 --> 02:22:17.440 both of them are going from Yeah, so both of 2567 02:22:17.479 --> 02:22:21.280 them are going from approximately like Claremont for example, they're 2568 02:22:21.319 --> 02:22:25.239 going from a sixteen thousand square foot facility to a 2569 02:22:25.559 --> 02:22:29.479 twenty six thousand square foot facility. And then Hamilton the 2570 02:22:29.520 --> 02:22:33.079 same way. So both of these facilities brand new, first floor, 2571 02:22:33.079 --> 02:22:36.680 state of the art, plenty of parking, great expansion of it. 2572 02:22:36.799 --> 02:22:38.440 And if I think of our veterans, want. 2573 02:22:38.319 --> 02:22:40.360 To take a take a trip to see what the 2574 02:22:41.479 --> 02:22:44.600 new clinics will look like in Hamilton and Eastgate. We 2575 02:22:44.680 --> 02:22:48.559 opened up a very similar clinic like this in Dearborn 2576 02:22:48.799 --> 02:22:52.520 over there in Larnsburg, Indiana, and it's absolutely beautiful. 2577 02:22:52.520 --> 02:22:52.760 Brian. 2578 02:22:53.239 --> 02:22:56.680 So with the larger expanded facilities, what comes along with 2579 02:22:56.719 --> 02:22:59.920 that it just more space, more doctors, more offices, or 2580 02:23:00.120 --> 02:23:02.760 the additional services are going to be offered for the veterans. 2581 02:23:03.399 --> 02:23:05.760 Yeah, it's well, the some of the services, well, we'll 2582 02:23:05.799 --> 02:23:08.479 expand a little bit more because of the physical size 2583 02:23:08.520 --> 02:23:11.120 of these things. But what it does is it is 2584 02:23:11.159 --> 02:23:14.559 more space and the design of it is very interesting. 2585 02:23:14.639 --> 02:23:17.000 So if you think about these two facilities being like 2586 02:23:17.040 --> 02:23:21.760 a just a normal shoebox size, the providers do all 2587 02:23:21.760 --> 02:23:23.959 their work in the middle of the building and on 2588 02:23:24.000 --> 02:23:26.399 the between the two sides the right and left, there 2589 02:23:26.399 --> 02:23:29.280 are doors that access from like this inner inner circle 2590 02:23:29.440 --> 02:23:32.520 or inner working hub, and the provider goes from room 2591 02:23:32.559 --> 02:23:35.559 to room instead of the patient or the veteran going 2592 02:23:35.680 --> 02:23:38.760 room room to room for different specialties, so it's a. 2593 02:23:38.719 --> 02:23:39.840 Different flow operation. 2594 02:23:40.719 --> 02:23:43.319 Some of the things like our physical therapy and occupational 2595 02:23:43.360 --> 02:23:47.719 therapy sections will definitely expand and make things better for us, 2596 02:23:47.719 --> 02:23:50.280 as well as more office space for some some different 2597 02:23:51.239 --> 02:23:53.920 very different specialties that happen, like mental health and the 2598 02:23:54.040 --> 02:23:55.000 dietary and things. 2599 02:23:55.200 --> 02:23:58.239 Okay, Well, in addition to the expanded size of those locations, 2600 02:23:58.680 --> 02:24:00.879 anything else coming to the vice facilities by way of 2601 02:24:00.920 --> 02:24:02.120 improvements to share. 2602 02:24:02.479 --> 02:24:04.559 Yeah, the main hospital, the other two I wanted to 2603 02:24:04.600 --> 02:24:08.399 mention where primary care. Our primary care section has been 2604 02:24:08.760 --> 02:24:12.079 under construction that's located right off the first floor. That'll 2605 02:24:12.079 --> 02:24:14.799 open up again here in twenty twenty five, which again 2606 02:24:14.959 --> 02:24:19.319 is just making it more space, easier for veterans to navigate, 2607 02:24:19.399 --> 02:24:22.040 and just a very much of an update. When we 2608 02:24:22.159 --> 02:24:24.840 put that expansion on in the early nineties. Obviously we've 2609 02:24:24.879 --> 02:24:28.680 outgrown it. And then every veteran knows who comes to 2610 02:24:28.680 --> 02:24:31.159 the facility come through this big, large revolving door we have. 2611 02:24:31.200 --> 02:24:34.319 Our lobby's been under renovation and it's starting to show 2612 02:24:34.360 --> 02:24:36.280 glimpses of what that's going to look like. And we're 2613 02:24:36.360 --> 02:24:39.399 very excited about how that's going to look where things 2614 02:24:39.440 --> 02:24:44.760 are just more serviceable, it's not chopped up and more inviting, 2615 02:24:44.920 --> 02:24:49.000 with a really really nice main lobby, piece of piece 2616 02:24:49.000 --> 02:24:50.799 of marble that's in the middle of that's going to 2617 02:24:50.799 --> 02:24:51.639 be very attractive. 2618 02:24:51.760 --> 02:24:54.079 Well great, well, and I know the number of veterans 2619 02:24:54.079 --> 02:24:58.000 who now signed up for vacare has increased, and that's 2620 02:24:58.040 --> 02:25:00.559 the goal over the VA's to get those veterans to 2621 02:25:00.680 --> 02:25:03.639 take advantage of their VA benefits, which is literally healthcare. 2622 02:25:04.760 --> 02:25:04.959 Yeah. 2623 02:25:04.959 --> 02:25:08.719 Absolutely, And so our fiscal year runs very differently than 2624 02:25:08.760 --> 02:25:11.559 a normal calendar season. We ended our twenty twenty four 2625 02:25:12.040 --> 02:25:17.120 fiscal calendar year September thirtieth of twenty twenty four. And 2626 02:25:17.440 --> 02:25:21.440 to your point, Brian was the most number of veterans 2627 02:25:21.479 --> 02:25:24.040 we've seen in one given year. And so I think 2628 02:25:24.159 --> 02:25:28.959 veterans are starting to understand about how and through your 2629 02:25:29.000 --> 02:25:30.920 help and the different stuff that we do, about how 2630 02:25:30.959 --> 02:25:33.799 to take advantage of these benefits and how to make 2631 02:25:34.319 --> 02:25:37.719 a VA healthcare part of their healthcare portfolio. And I 2632 02:25:37.719 --> 02:25:40.399 think some of the myths and misconceptions about who's eligible 2633 02:25:40.440 --> 02:25:43.920 for VA healthcare is really coming to place. So we're 2634 02:25:43.959 --> 02:25:46.719 really excited about our efforts and how we're reaching folks, 2635 02:25:46.799 --> 02:25:49.399 and we're looking to expand that as well. And I've 2636 02:25:49.440 --> 02:25:52.840 always said, what not a better place to be served 2637 02:25:53.360 --> 02:25:56.280 every day by a staff who know exactly what veterans 2638 02:25:56.319 --> 02:25:58.680 are looking for and the different things that they deal with. 2639 02:25:58.719 --> 02:26:02.319 And it's so Treely he absolutely the hearing loss and 2640 02:26:02.840 --> 02:26:06.879 the prosthetics and the the eye here, and but particularly 2641 02:26:07.120 --> 02:26:09.840 the toxic exposure stuff, which we're really high on here 2642 02:26:09.959 --> 02:26:12.440 over the past two years. Well, let's pause, we'll bring 2643 02:26:12.479 --> 02:26:15.799 Todd back talk about enrolling and what types of healthcare 2644 02:26:15.840 --> 02:26:18.920 services are there and how veterans can apply and all 2645 02:26:18.959 --> 02:26:22.200 these good fun facts more with todd Sledgem the Cincinniva. 2646 02:26:22.319 --> 02:26:23.239 After these brief. 2647 02:26:23.000 --> 02:26:25.799 Words, fifty five KRC you're. 2648 02:26:27.360 --> 02:26:29.559 One more time for the weather.

How can 2674 02:27:45.920 --> 02:27:48.440 enrolling in the VA health services improve a veterans over 2675 02:27:48.520 --> 02:27:49.600 all health and well being? 2676 02:27:49.639 --> 02:27:53.520 Todd Well, Brian, you know, one of the things I 2677 02:27:53.600 --> 02:27:55.959 like to focus on with this is that there are 2678 02:27:56.000 --> 02:27:58.600 so many, so many different things that we can do 2679 02:27:58.680 --> 02:28:03.319 that's more financially efficient, easier for veterans to do, and 2680 02:28:04.079 --> 02:28:06.600 a lot of less wet, a lot of less way times. 2681 02:28:07.239 --> 02:28:09.239 As you're probably well aware, there's a lot of different 2682 02:28:09.239 --> 02:28:12.479 specialty type services in the community that are very hard 2683 02:28:12.479 --> 02:28:16.920 to get into the dietary dermatology sometimes you know, seeing 2684 02:28:16.920 --> 02:28:21.280 an audiologist, some different folks and these are things that 2685 02:28:21.319 --> 02:28:24.319 we by mandate, we have to get you a scheduled 2686 02:28:24.319 --> 02:28:28.000 appointment within thirty days to be seen or find some 2687 02:28:28.040 --> 02:28:30.440 other arrangements for you to be seen. So that's you know, 2688 02:28:30.479 --> 02:28:32.520 that's one of the overall health and well being. But 2689 02:28:33.000 --> 02:28:35.520 one of the main things is is our preventative medicine model, 2690 02:28:35.520 --> 02:28:39.639 where you know, we can do things with different specialty 2691 02:28:39.680 --> 02:28:42.879 tests and prevention measures of things that the private sector 2692 02:28:43.280 --> 02:28:46.120 really can't offer or they're going to run through your insurance. 2693 02:28:46.120 --> 02:28:49.319 So I always encourage people to do that. And you 2694 02:28:49.319 --> 02:28:50.920 know this when it comes to again, I'm going to 2695 02:28:50.959 --> 02:28:54.079 repeat myself when it comes to the eyeglasses and hearing aids. Yeah, 2696 02:28:54.319 --> 02:28:58.239 cost efficient measure of that, but more particularly, you know, 2697 02:28:58.280 --> 02:29:01.600 and I think of services like mental health helping that 2698 02:29:01.719 --> 02:29:04.559 you know, with with with all the mental health services 2699 02:29:04.559 --> 02:29:07.879 that we have, our home care programs that we have 2700 02:29:08.520 --> 02:29:11.920 in house care of things, and just you know, an 2701 02:29:11.920 --> 02:29:16.479 overall really old family medicine style. You know, you know, 2702 02:29:16.520 --> 02:29:18.840 your provider's my name, you know your nurse is by name, 2703 02:29:19.200 --> 02:29:21.440 which is a very different relationship when it comes to 2704 02:29:21.520 --> 02:29:25.280 I think people going to the doctor, especially stubborn people 2705 02:29:25.280 --> 02:29:27.559 that avoid the doctor, like myself, oh. 2706 02:29:27.520 --> 02:29:30.760 So much, Like I have my own primary care physician 2707 02:29:30.799 --> 02:29:33.840 who I've been going to for years and years and years. 2708 02:29:34.120 --> 02:29:35.879 It's the same type of thing going on with the VA. 2709 02:29:35.959 --> 02:29:39.680 You're just not assigned a primary care physician randomly when 2710 02:29:39.719 --> 02:29:41.280 you go in. You get to see the same doctor 2711 02:29:41.319 --> 02:29:44.200 every time. Oh yeah, we have what's called we have 2712 02:29:44.239 --> 02:29:47.000 what's called PAC teams, Brian. They're patient aligned care teams, 2713 02:29:47.040 --> 02:29:49.879 so you're always seeing the same primary care physician as 2714 02:29:49.920 --> 02:29:52.399 well as that same team, so every time when you 2715 02:29:52.440 --> 02:29:54.600 walk in. So for example, the clinics that I mentioned 2716 02:29:54.639 --> 02:29:58.280 that are expanding, they all have their same assigned person 2717 02:29:58.280 --> 02:30:01.280 that walks in and not nine out of ten times. 2718 02:30:01.319 --> 02:30:04.000 I mean, they know these people by their first name, 2719 02:30:04.120 --> 02:30:06.840 they know their pet's name, they know whether the grandkids 2720 02:30:06.879 --> 02:30:11.239 go to school. So it's a very relationship style relationship 2721 02:30:11.280 --> 02:30:11.600 with us. 2722 02:30:11.799 --> 02:30:14.360 That's good. I think, you know, my perception is on 2723 02:30:14.399 --> 02:30:17.399 some level and I haven't experienced THEA services that didn't serve, 2724 02:30:17.520 --> 02:30:21.600 but that it might be a more sterile environment less 2725 02:30:21.719 --> 02:30:24.479 you know of that sort of familial relationship. So you've 2726 02:30:24.520 --> 02:30:27.159 satisfy my curiosity on that. That's a wonderful thing to hear. 2727 02:30:28.159 --> 02:30:31.319 So how DoD veterans apply for the VA healthcare benefits 2728 02:30:31.440 --> 02:30:33.959 or any eligibility requirements for veterans to rule in VA 2729 02:30:34.040 --> 02:30:34.959 healthcare services. 2730 02:30:35.959 --> 02:30:39.280 Yeah, so the minimum requirements for VA healthcare services twenty 2731 02:30:39.280 --> 02:30:43.280 four consecutive months. That's the minimum requirement. That's you know, 2732 02:30:43.760 --> 02:30:46.840 that's just your normal twenty four consecutive months of service 2733 02:30:46.879 --> 02:30:49.879 starting from your basic training on forward. And there are 2734 02:30:49.920 --> 02:30:54.280 some other specialty factors for guard and reserve personnel that 2735 02:30:54.639 --> 02:30:58.200 served on some executive orders. But there's many, many, many 2736 02:30:58.200 --> 02:31:00.760 resources that people could take advantage and find out what 2737 02:31:00.799 --> 02:31:03.639 they're eligible for. And first it starts with us by 2738 02:31:03.680 --> 02:31:08.559 calling five one three four seven five sixty four ninety nine. 2739 02:31:08.639 --> 02:31:11.920 That's a direct dial number two or Eligibility office.

So you know, again that's five one three 2743 02:31:20.360 --> 02:31:23.280 four seven, five sixty four nine nine. 2744 02:31:23.959 --> 02:31:25.079 That's directly to us. 2745 02:31:25.360 --> 02:31:27.719 Now, you also, veterans can also take advantage of their 2746 02:31:27.719 --> 02:31:30.959 county Veteran Service Commissions, which we have, you know, many 2747 02:31:31.000 --> 02:31:33.000 of those here right here in the tri States.

No, as my grandfather 2794 02:33:47.600 --> 02:33:49.559 used to tell me, he said, don't put that frustraction 2795 02:33:49.639 --> 02:33:52.079 in your pocket and walk away, because somebody else might 2796 02:33:52.120 --> 02:33:52.879 experience that too. 2797 02:33:53.000 --> 02:33:55.559 Yeah, and you may bring about a transformative change to 2798 02:33:55.600 --> 02:33:57.879 the benefit of the rest of your veteran friend.
