WEBVTT 1 00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:14.439 Five o five. If it's five KRC the talk station, 2 00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:20.480 Happy Monday. 3 00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:18.519 I like it or not? 4 00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:25.440 SKay, well. 5 00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:29.760 It was a vacation. 6 00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.079 I'm the dude, man, I am not. 7 00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:35.640 I am Brian Thomas hosted fifty five KRC Morning Show, 8 00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.719 Just Treckerd Jacob producer Internet Research grew and all round 9 00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.320 great guy, with emphasis on that he's gonna have to 10 00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:43.880 give Joe props out loud. He posted a post on Facebook. 11 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:46.159 It was a very elderly lady in one of those 12 00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:49.520 scooters at the rest at the grocery store, and when 13 00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.479 it came time to buy her groceries sixty dollars worth, 14 00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:54.679 none of her cards would work. I guess they'd all 15 00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:58.759 been maxed out. And she was beside herself, expressing some 16 00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:04.319 grief and dismay. And Joe paid it forward. Joe Tracker, 17 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:05.959 man that does not have a whole lot of extra 18 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.359 money laying around, nonetheless, saw this woman in distress and 19 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:10.840 paid her grocery bill and she it brought her to tears. 20 00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:14.319 And God bless you, Joe Strecker, what a beautiful, beautiful 21 00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:16.920 thing that you did for that woman. And I I'm 22 00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.079 sure you've assured yourself a place in heaven for doing 23 00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.239 that little thing. So if you have the resources and 24 00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:24.239 you can help out, there are those in need that 25 00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:26.239 could surely use the help. So that's just one little 26 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:29.439 may way of doing it. So great job. Joe Stracker 27 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:32.200 has really moved by your post, so maybe you'll encourage 28 00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:33.879 more people to do that kind of thing from time 29 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:35.920 to time. Coming up on the fifty five Garcie Morning 30 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:38.359 You Show, Christopher Smith aman at seven twenty of course 31 00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:39.959 the Smith Event from the former Vice mayor of the 32 00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:42.400 City of Cincinnati. Every Monday at seven twenty we have 33 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:44.599 an empower Youth seminar to talk about taking play. On 34 00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:46.879 the twenty fifth, Scott Zimmerman joins the program at eight 35 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:51.200 forty Blue Lights and Human Health. We're going to learn 36 00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.359 together at eight forty what that's all about. No other 37 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.719 guests on the run five one three, seven four nine 38 00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:57.840 fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two three talk with 39 00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.760 Time five fifty on at and T phone. So let 40 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:03.439 us start with something that's rather scary to me and 41 00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.079 something that you know, probably unrelated anything you were thinking 42 00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:07.879 about talking about in the Morning show right out of 43 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.800 the gate. But I wrote scary exclamation point double on 44 00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:14.520 top of the article, and it's on the heels of 45 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.599 a very comparable article that Tech Friday's Dave Hatter sent 46 00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.439 to me. You know, just an excellent segment and Dave 47 00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.159 Hatter's been nationally recognized as having one of the top 48 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.560 podcasts hereing the five Case Morning Show with Tech Friday. 49 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:32.639 Dave Hatter again, congratulations on that award from the million 50 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:36.159 podcast website. So he sent me an article out of 51 00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:40.560 the Guardian by Miranda Bryant about a week old. Sweden's 52 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.120 Central back had previously predicted by twenty twenty five of 53 00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.599 the country would be cashless and now and it's pretty 54 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:48.879 much come true. Just one in ten purchases are now 55 00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:53.800 made with cash. However, they are pushing back on cashless 56 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.520 in the given the concerns in Europe. You've got, of course, 57 00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.800 the Ukraine, Russian War, raging unpredictability in the United States 58 00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:03.919 and fear of Russian hybrid attacks. They say life without 59 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.240 cash is not proving the utopia perhaps once promised to be. 60 00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:11.680 So authorities are now trying to encourage citizens to keep 61 00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:16.080 and use cash in the name of civil defense. Last November, 62 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:18.919 the Defence Ministry sent every home a brochure entitled if 63 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:23.960 crisis or war comes, telling people to use cash regularly 64 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.719 and keep a minimum of a week's supply in various 65 00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:33.000 denominations to quote strengthen preparedness. Government published findings of an 66 00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:36.080 inquiry that proposed that some public and private agents should 67 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:43.400 be required to accept cash. Sweden also moving to cash lists. 68 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:47.919 I'm sorry, Norway also basically moving cash lists. They brought 69 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:52.840 in legislation that requires retailers to accept cash or be 70 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:56.879 fined or sanctioned if they don't. And that's more and 71 00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:58.879 more retailers refusing to do it. So I pivot over 72 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:02.680 to John Karpey via the Epoch or Epic. It's both 73 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:07.560 ways pronounces correct. He's a ballb president of the Justice 74 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.159 Center for Constitutional Freedoms, a little food for thought in 75 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.159 his opinion piece. Now this is Canada, but could easily 76 00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.720 apply anywhere where they're pushing for a central bank digital currency. 77 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.439 So the Bank of Canada has made no secrets of 78 00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.959 an effort to explore a central bank digital currency a 79 00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.680 quote digital dollar close quote issued and controlled by the 80 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.519 Central Bank Bank of Canada not alone did eight one 81 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:31.240 hundred and thirty four countries and currency unions have explored 82 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.759 a CBDC in sixty six countries are already in advanced 83 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:39.160 stages of implementation be frightened. In twenty twenty three, cash 84 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:43.000 account for only eleven percent of total payments made by Canadians. 85 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.240 They use their credit cards, debit cards, e transfers, online 86 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.240 banks to pay bills, make investments and donate to charities. 87 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:54.519 Cash is just a trivial thing completed as basically for 88 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:58.800 birthday cards. New legislation in Quebec and powers law enforcement. 89 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:03.120 This is scary and powers law enforce to presume that 90 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:07.120 cache sums of two thousand dollars or more are the 91 00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:11.560 proceeds of unlawful activity. It's an immediate presumption, no due 92 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:15.000 process on that. While most consumers seem to appreciate the 93 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.800 convenience and increasingly digital economy, a CBDC is a radical 94 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.720 change from using credit cards in an online banking app. CBDC, 95 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:25.720 we'll just call it digital currency would likely lead to 96 00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:29.319 a cashless economy in which all financial tractions can be 97 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:34.360 monitored and controlled by government. A cashless economy would create 98 00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:38.720 severe hardship for people who are homeless, technologically illiterate, or 99 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:41.319 without ready access to the internet. And think about if 100 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.839 the power shuts down, Just keep that in the back 101 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:48.439 of your mind. For Canadians who look after the finances electronically, 102 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:51.800 cash remains essential to protect their rights and freedoms, including 103 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:55.879 their privacy, security and autonomy, and a cashless economy. All 104 00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:00.360 transactions are digital, subject to surveillance and ultimately subject to 105 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:04.160 government control. Digital currency opens the door for governments to 106 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:07.759 reward or penalize Canadians for the personal choices on how 107 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:09.399 to live, where to go, and what to do with 108 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:13.639 their own money. Governments can use digital currency to restrict when, 109 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:18.160 where and what people are allowed to buy, leading to 110 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:22.800 a level of control resembling Communist China's notorious social credit system, 111 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:26.319 where they use social credit to reward citizens who support 112 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.240 the Communist Party and its rules and policies. Those who 113 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.399 criticize the party can find themselves unable to order train, 114 00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:36.160 plane or subway, denied a bank loan, or prevented from 115 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:39.560 enrolling their children of the best schools and universities. Scary stuff. 116 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:42.279 If I use cash to pay for my gas and 117 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.160 my car, then no bank, credit card company, or government 118 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:47.399 will know that I was. For example, at a shell 119 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.800 station on Southland, driving Calgary at eight forty five in 120 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.680 the morning on a Monday. Nor will anyone know that 121 00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:55.720 how much I spent on gas that morning, other than 122 00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:58.680 the gas station staff, who likely won't know my name. 123 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.439 Three hours later, I use cash to pay for a 124 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.240 meal at a restaurant in Edmonton. No corporation or government 125 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:07.160 will know that I traveled from Calgary to Edmonton that morning. 126 00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.199 I don't have to be doing anything sinister or legal 127 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.839 in Edmonton to care about my privacy. Why should it 128 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:17.240 be subject to surveillance simply because I exist? The digital 129 00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:20.360 currency is imposed and the economy goes cashless, government will 130 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:23.680 know at all times about every purchase, sale, investment, and 131 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.560 donation made by every Canadian or fill in the blank 132 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.959 government of choice. A government, once armed with this knowledge, 133 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:34.720 can exercise stringent and detailed control over many aspects of 134 00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:37.879 the life of a citizen. Many Canadians don't care about 135 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:40.839 their privacy being violated when banks or credit card companies 136 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:43.879 acquire vast amounts of information about the habits, movements, and 137 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:49.240 preferences of consumers. However, governments are radically different from private 138 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:53.879 corporations by definition and by their very nature. Governments exercise 139 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.360 course of power over citizens using course of power is 140 00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:01.000 good when governments enforce criminal code prohibitions against murder, theft, 141 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.120 and terrorism. However, governments can also use their course of 142 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.560 power to violate human rights, civil liberties, and constitutional freedoms, 143 00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:12.959 always on the basis of some nice sounding pretext. Power 144 00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:17.560 crupts and absolute power crups. Absolutely, Hence, our Constitution is 145 00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:21.399 intended to protect citizens from tyranny. Some argue we will 146 00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:24.879 never see communist Chinese social credit in Canada, but it 147 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:27.199 already happened here in February twenty twenty two, when the 148 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:31.160 federal government froze the bank accounts of hundreds of Canadians 149 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:34.120 who have not broken any law or committed any crime. 150 00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.440 These Canadian citizens were punished by the state for having 151 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:40.639 donated money to a peaceful protest movement that was hated 152 00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:42.840 by the Prime Minister of the day. They had no 153 00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:46.039 opportunity to challenge, dispute or appeal the severe penalty which 154 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:50.799 government imposed on them without warning. Cash alone made it 155 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.080 possible for these victimized Canadians to buy groceries, pay their 156 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.000 heating bills in winter, and secure other necessities. If Canada's 157 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.039 economy had been cashless in February twenty to the government's 158 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.919 freezing on bank accounts would have inflicted far more harm. 159 00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:09.440 Governments made the new COVID vaccine mandatory in twenty twenty one, 160 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.200 imposing the penalty of second class citizenship for non compliance. 161 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:17.879 Governments use QR codes to turn personal private medical records 162 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:21.440 into quasi public documents that needed to be shown to 163 00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:26.440 complete strangers working at restaurants, gyms, and movie theaters. With 164 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.679 this track record of violating the privacy of citizens, why 165 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:33.320 would governments hesitate to control what Canadians spend their money? 166 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:33.519 On? 167 00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:38.600 Theory, the digital currency can exist without governments violating human 168 00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:42.960 lights and constitutional freedoms. And theory, they could be designed 169 00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:47.480 without programmable restrictions, just like cash is printed without such restrictions. 170 00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:51.720 After all, paper bills don't spontaneously combust when exchange for 171 00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:57.080 the wrong kind of things. Likewise, the digital currency could 172 00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:00.200 be designed to maximize the privacy of and autonomy of us. 173 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:04.240 But in practice, what government or what politician or bureaucrat 174 00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:07.559 would resist the temptation to use a digital currency as 175 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:10.799 a tool to control citizens. If cash is out law 176 00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:13.799 and replaced with a CBDC, the government has a powerful 177 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:18.360 tool to exercise ultimate and very intimate control over the 178 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:23.120 life of every Canadian. The digital dollar provides politicians, bureaucrats, 179 00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:26.639 and bankers with intimate access to our inner lives. Therefore, 180 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:30.399 this digital currency poses a grave threat to Charter rights 181 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.679 and freedoms. It's up to Canadians to make CBDC an 182 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.120 issue in the coming election. Voters should urge their MPs 183 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:41.120 and their provincial representatives the pass laws that protect cash 184 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.720 and the right to use it. I just, you know, 185 00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:49.320 I just contemplate the realities of all that every single 186 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:53.480 transaction you engage in monitored and controlled and subject to 187 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:58.440 the electric flip switch off. If your lords and masters 188 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.960 decide that you're engaged in something that they do not like. 189 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:04.720 And this has happened before. Banks have canceled bank accounts 190 00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:07.559 because you're engaged in some activity. For example, the Obama 191 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:12.080 administration didn't like, or the Biden administration didn't like payday 192 00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:17.200 cash loan operations, firearm manufacturers, firearms sales. Bank accounts close 193 00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:20.720 shut down. Now, fortunately they still have cash and they 194 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:23.799 can still trade in cash. But if we lived under 195 00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:26.480 a country that was controlled by a central bank, digital currency, 196 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.480 as many are trying to push for their lives, are 197 00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:33.240 over their their businesses are over. It's done. It's toast. 198 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:36.720 Heaven forbid. You run a foul of what your lords 199 00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:40.000 and masters and government want from you. Five sixteen fifty 200 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:44.080 five KRC Detalk Station. Thanks Againned Dave Hatter for providing 201 00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:49.200 me another spring board off that epic Times article from 202 00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:53.159 the Guardian five on three seven four nine fifty eight 203 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:54.759 two three takoby right back after. 204 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:56.639 These words fifty five KRC. 205 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:04.039 It's happy Monday if I went three seven two three 206 00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:12.240 talk on five fifty on eighteen of t funk. You 207 00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:15.720 know these craze leftists going after your tesla's and go 208 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.480 whatever happened to Green? I thought that Tesla was the 209 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.039 darling of the green people, the darling of the uh 210 00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:24.600 you're responsible for, you know, the climate change. Get yourself 211 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:27.559 a tesla. Don't pollute the world. What are the most 212 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:29.960 popular cars around for a while now people are afraid 213 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:31.840 to drive them and own them because there's idiots out 214 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:45.559 there vandalizing them. I don't all because Elon Musk is 215 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:50.960 getting rid of fraud, waste and abuse in government, you're 216 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:59.080 attacking tesla's. 217 00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:58.120 Now. 218 00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:01.120 Elon must point out the the day that social security 219 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.440 is a Ponzi scheme. I think he's not the first 220 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:05.559 person to observe that. I know I've called it a 221 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:08.039 Ponzi scheme many times over the past couple of decades. 222 00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:10.720 Because you read the information you know, whether it's from 223 00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:14.679 the CBO or other observers of the situation with Social Security, 224 00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:18.039 you realize at his house of cards, the money that 225 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.440 comes in goes immediately out to pay the benefits of 226 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:23.320 those who previously paid money in. That's the very definition 227 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:31.240 of a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme operates by taking 228 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.000 money from new investors to pay current investors. That is 229 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:38.639 the definition given by the SEC, and that's exactly how 230 00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:43.600 Social Security operates. It is literally a definitional Ponzi scheme, 231 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:52.360 and it's kind of frightening when you really look at 232 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:56.679 the numbers. James Ragesti, president of the nonprofit research institute 233 00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:01.440 Just Fact, speaking with Fox News, he explained that Social Security, 234 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:03.559 believed to be a target of must efforts at DOGE, 235 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:06.320 doesn't take our money and save it for us, as 236 00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:08.440 many people believe, and then give it to us when 237 00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:11.559 we are older, like many Americans believe. What it does. 238 00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:15.120 It transfers money when we are young and working and 239 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.679 paying into Social Security taxes. That money, to ask Balk 240 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:21.360 of it, goes immediately out the door to people who 241 00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:24.480 are currently receiving benefits. Just that now there is a 242 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.000 trust fund, but in ninety years of operation, that trust 243 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.759 fund currently has enough money to fund ready two years 244 00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:36.919 of program operation. Trust fund only being able to last 245 00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:39.799 two years is not a result of the fund being looted, 246 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:42.639 as he explained, but rather it was put in place 247 00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:45.919 to put surpluses in it from money that Social Security 248 00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:49.639 collects in taxes that it doesn't pay out immediately and 249 00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:52.279 pays interest on the interest that's been paid on that 250 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.440 has been higher than the rate of inflation. So the 251 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:57.120 problem isn't that the trust fund has been looted. The 252 00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:59.840 problem is that Social Security operates like a Ponzi scheme. 253 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:05.759 He also is concerned, express concerned over all of those 254 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:08.399 individuals over the age of one hundred and whether or 255 00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:11.159 not the receiving payments or not. But he did remind 256 00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:13.720 Fox when he was talking to him. So it's unclear 257 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:15.399 to me at this moment whether or not people who 258 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:18.320 are on the books actually receiving checks. Back during the 259 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:23.480 Obama administration, there was a stimulus, and the Obama administration 260 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:27.200 sent out stimulus text via text via Social Security numbers 261 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:30.879 to eighty thousand people who were dead at about seventy 262 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:35.360 thousand of them, of them the Social Security Administration knew 263 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:38.840 were dead. So I don't know if they've remedied the 264 00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:41.399 situation since then, but clearly the system is not keeping 265 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:43.639 up with the pace of current data, and that provides 266 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.360 the opportunity for fraud. So let Lelon Musk go in 267 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:49.279 and get rid of the dead people. How is that 268 00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:54.039 a threat to the Social security? To Social Security generally speaking, 269 00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:58.000 he said, there's been a lot of information at that 270 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:00.960 of late you know, when Doge came in and suggested 271 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:04.240 that SOCA Security administration cut I think there was about 272 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:07.080 ten thousand workers. Democrats erupted that this was going to 273 00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:09.759 weaken Social Security. But the fact of the matter is 274 00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:13.919 that Social Security pays those workers who are for administrative 275 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:19.679 overhead from the Social Security Trust Fund. So by cutting 276 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:22.679 out the money that they're paying them, you actually strengthened 277 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:28.159 strengthen the program financially. You point out the current administrative 278 00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:33.279 overhead for Social Security six point seven billion dollars per year, 279 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:36.519 enough to pay more than three hundred thousand retirees the 280 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:39.399 average old age benefit. Isn't that a good thing to 281 00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:42.879 be able to pay them? That sounds like it's shoring 282 00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:45.720 up things rather than you freaking out that, oh my god, 283 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:47.960 he's coming up to social Security once you look at 284 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:50.519 the reality of how it's set up and the eminent 285 00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:54.960 collapse of Social Security absence something being done to reform 286 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.600 the program. This ergacy guy, if you feel, if you 287 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:02.080 get to give you a feel of how disconnected socias 288 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:05.799 security is from a fully funded pension plan. If to 289 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:08.759 keep the program solvent and put it on the same 290 00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:13.160 firm financial footing as a real pension plan, brace yourself 291 00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:16.799 for this, folks. It would require an extra two hundred 292 00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:22.160 and seventy two thousand dollars in additional payroll taxes from 293 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.000 every person paying payroll taxes. Right now, I think you 294 00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:31.119 got a problem on our hands, folks. And they're going 295 00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:34.200 after Elon Musk for just pointing this stuff out, burning 296 00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:37.640 up teslas and dealership shooting them up, committing acci terrorism 297 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.400 and vandalism and polluting the environment at the same time. 298 00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:43.519 And I'm not talking about just taking a Tesla vehicle 299 00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:46.200 off the road because it has zero missions. I'm talking 300 00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:49.359 about the fires created when they light them on fire. 301 00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:53.359 Get all those toxic battery fumes floating around. That's great 302 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:56.039 for the environment, great for the neighborhood. Makes you kind 303 00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:58.359 of wonder whether they were really serious about their environment 304 00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:02.880 environmental concerns, doesn't it. Twenty six local stories, including no, 305 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:05.200 you're not going to get reimbursed for the pothole damage 306 00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:07.119 or the damage the pothole cause your car in the 307 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:10.559 city of Cincinnati. Unbelievable story locally here. We'll get to 308 00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:11.160 that in a moment. 309 00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:15.839 This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station Prohibition. 310 00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:18.559 It is five point thirty on a Monday. Very happy 311 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:20.279 one to you. Five one, three, seven, four nine fifty 312 00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:24.559 hunty two three talk. I'll ask Mississippi James just to 313 00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:25.960 pause for a minute because I want to get this 314 00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:28.359 local story in, because it's been a regular topic of 315 00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:31.160 conversation here locally in the city of Cincinnati about the 316 00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:35.079 outrageous and terrible conditions of the roads. And we have 317 00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:37.680 been told previously that you'll get reimbursed if your car 318 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:42.200 is damaged by one of the unrepaired potholes. Ah, thank you. 319 00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:49.519 Rachel Hersheimer from WLWT Local five, reporting one hundreds people 320 00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:52.000 have asked for help with damage from the pothole. City 321 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:54.240 of since A does allow people to report a pothole, 322 00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:59.279 also allows people to submit a claim if they experience 323 00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:02.799 damage from hit a pothole, but the city confirms nobody 324 00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:08.200 has been reimbursed for a pothole. Clarissa Wright, interviewed, said 325 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:10.480 she ran over a pothole on West Mitchell Avenue and 326 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:12.519 Spring Gros saying I hit a pothole pretty hard as 327 00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:16.079 one of the airbags didn't come out. Said everything just 328 00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:18.279 fell down, that all the lights in the car came down, 329 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.200 my tire was my tires were deflating. She had a 330 00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:24.599 flat tire pulled over I seventy five South towed to 331 00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:27.279 a dealership. Total cost to her seven hundred and fifty bucks. 332 00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.720 Submitted a reimbursement claim to the City of Cincinnati denied. 333 00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:35.119 Email from the city quote the City of Cincinnati, by statute, 334 00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:37.640 has certain immunities from liability for damage of this nature 335 00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:40.680 regarding the pothole. ORC Section twenty seven forty four point 336 00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:45.359 oh five limits claims to circumstances where the city is 337 00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:50.200 proven to have had prior knowledge of the road condition. 338 00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:53.599 Yet failed to act within a reasonable amount of time. Now, 339 00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:55.400 as a lawyer, I would say proven that means the 340 00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:57.839 obligation is on you to show the City of Cincinnati 341 00:19:57.920 --> 00:19:59.880 knew about the pothole but didn't act. How would you 342 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:04.400 know if they knew? The city further wrote, both conditions 343 00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:08.079 must be met. Therefore, most accidents caused by a pothole 344 00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:11.039 in the City of Cincinnati are not likely eligible for 345 00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:14.559 reimbursement under Ohio law. The search of records in the 346 00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.880 City Service Requests database confirms that pothole repairs were completed 347 00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:21.599 in this area and within a reasonable amount of time 348 00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:26.039 from when they were first reported. City Cincinnati has not 349 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:29.640 demonstrated negligence in this case. Regrettably, we must deny your 350 00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:32.880 request for damage claim reimbursement. Pursuing to Ohio law. No 351 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:37.640 reimbursement will be made in this case. This decision is final, 352 00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:40.519 so don't the OLWT reached out of this for a 353 00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:44.680 spokesperson in the City of Cincinnati. To date, they said 354 00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:47.319 the city has received five hundred and sixty four requests 355 00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:50.920 for reimbursement in twenty twenty five, while not all have 356 00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:55.720 been reviewed. Thus far, none have been eligible for reimbursement. 357 00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:01.440 The city says, qualifications remm burseman come down to state law. 358 00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:04.680 I'll blame it on the state law. They'll go. WT 359 00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:07.920 asked the city spokesperson if anyone was available to answer 360 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:13.079 more questions drivers have on this process. The city said 361 00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:17.119 they do not have anyone to comment. Well, how convenient. 362 00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:19.839 Let's gore to the phones to what Mississippi James, God James, 363 00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:21.799 Happy Monday to you. Welcome back to the show. 364 00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.880 Same here, doctor Brian. I have a question for you. 365 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.039 What's the difference between a ponza scheme and a pyramid scheme? 366 00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:35.400 Hmm, well, you're throwing me a curveball on that one. 367 00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:35.599 I know. 368 00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:38.160 Ponzi scheme pays the money out that comes in from 369 00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:41.720 new investors immediately to prior investors. That's by definition of 370 00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:44.599 Ponzi scheme. I'd have to look up pyramid scheme. I'm 371 00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.279 sorry you caught me the loss. I'll blame the five 372 00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:48.039 o'clock hour. 373 00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:52.400 One is illegal and another one is not. So when he 374 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.599 used the word Ponzi scheme, that's that's illegal. Yeah, a 375 00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.480 pyramid scheme is illegal. Well, a pyramid and fed a 376 00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:02.240 serve to use pyramids. 377 00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:05.359 Now here's the quote. A pyramid scheme is a fraudulent 378 00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:08.920 investment scheme where participants are primarily paid for recruiting new 379 00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:12.799 members rather than selling products or services, ultimately collapsing when 380 00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:14.839 there are no more new members to recruit. That was 381 00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:20.480 the way Amway worked, if I recalled correctly. So they're 382 00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:25.720 not necessarily legal in that regard, but it's not a 383 00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:29.640 pyramid scheme. It's a Ponzi scheme. Definitionally speaking, the Social 384 00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:35.559 Security program is a legally created by government pon ponzi scheme. 385 00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:39.200 That's again the definition of it is you're paying the 386 00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:42.200 money that new investors that will be workers paying into 387 00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:46.359 Social Security, rather than having that money put away for 388 00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:49.960 their future use and invested or otherwise, you know, at 389 00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:53.400 least kept in an account. It's going immediately out the 390 00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:56.000 door to pay for people who had already paid in 391 00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:59.400 over their lives working. That's just that's your straightforward, plain 392 00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:02.519 old ponzi. There's no extra money laying around to cover 393 00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:06.039 the future obligations that they have incurred based on the 394 00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:08.359 promises made by the Social Security administration. 395 00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:13.200 Okay, and second, he probably should have came out with 396 00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:15.960 a surgical knife instead of a change saw. 397 00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:19.599 I'm sticking hearing that chainsaw stuff. He is pretty much 398 00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:22.000 using a surgical knife. Now they've had to backpedal some 399 00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:25.799 of the cuts they've made, but overall he has saved 400 00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:27.759 us a lot of money. And yes, they've gotten rid 401 00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:31.880 of unnecessary employees. That's the point of it. Our government's 402 00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:33.920 too blowed. It's got too many people, and it blew 403 00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:35.640 up in terms of the number of hires during the 404 00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:38.720 Biden administration. If you look at who got hired across 405 00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:40.920 the board, the vast majority of new jobs went too 406 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:44.200 government workers. Did we really need them? Were we've fallen 407 00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:47.440 behind in government obligations prior to this massive influx of 408 00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:49.680 new personnel, not that I recall. 409 00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:54.400 And third point, he probably should have found another way 410 00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:58.240 to show his admiration for America instead of his semi 411 00:23:58.359 --> 00:24:00.799 Hitler salute. 412 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:01.160 Time. 413 00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:05.480 God, you're not James, You're smarter than that. There's been 414 00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:08.200 so many pictures of so many people in the in 415 00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:11.440 the Democrat Party and other folks holding their hand up. 416 00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:14.079 You take a picture of it. They weren't saluting in 417 00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:16.920 Nazis style. It wasn't a reference to Adolf Hitler in 418 00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:19.960 the in the National Socialist Party, it was just a 419 00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:22.680 hand gesture while they were busy waving their hands around 420 00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:25.359 and talking. I bet you know, over your lifetime, I 421 00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:26.920 bet you could have had a picture taken to you 422 00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:28.960 doing the same thing, and you had probably been pretty 423 00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:32.359 pissed off of someone called you a Nazi merely because 424 00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:34.599 you were captured in an instant of time with your 425 00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:38.000 hand in that position. I mean, that's been widely that's 426 00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:40.960 been widely debunked. The guy's not a Nazi. Read the 427 00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:43.200 definition of Nazis. You know he's not. 428 00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:47.240 We can frame it anyway we choose, I know. 429 00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:51.680 You know what, Yeah, well, framing in a way, framing 430 00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:53.880 in a way that's accurate. And don't buy into this 431 00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:57.680 propaganda that Elon Musk is a Nazi. There's a picture 432 00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:00.759 of Alexandri Casio Cortez doing the same thing. Are you 433 00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:03.160 gonna call her a Nazi too? Because they captured her 434 00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:05.480 on film with her hand and what appears to be 435 00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:06.880 a Nazi salute and. 436 00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:09.759 Probably to call him a Nazi. I did not call 437 00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:12.559 him a Nazi. You missing my point? You taking an 438 00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:15.400 araka and run and with it. I said he'd probably 439 00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.680 been better served if he'd found him another way to 440 00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:22.440 show his admiration for the America system by weighted. 441 00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:28.599 He waved. I mean he he was captured midwave. Okay, 442 00:25:28.799 --> 00:25:31.440 I meanspoint you want to no, No, I mean that's 443 00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:33.960 the reality if you saw the live footage of that. 444 00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:36.680 That's why this whole thing about him saluting a Nazi 445 00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:39.640 style has been debunked. It was a moment in time 446 00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:43.200 freeze frame capture of his hand gestures that were moving 447 00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:46.160 all over the place, So it can't be framed any 448 00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:49.000 other way than it's been taken out of context that 449 00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:53.240 that was a Nazi salute. That's my point. Appreciate the call, 450 00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:55.559 James as always five point thirty eight.

Let's see here, speaking of chainsaws, 465 00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:33.920 why not start here in the stack of stupid. We've 466 00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:36.720 got an Illinois police officer shot and killed a man 467 00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:40.839 who was wielding a chainsaw in a nursing home. Why 468 00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:44.920 are you doing that? Daniel H. Escalera shot and killed 469 00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:49.519 inside the Saint Charles, Illinois nursing home December first, last year, 470 00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:53.440 while wielding a chainsaw and asking for his wife. Forty 471 00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:59.680 year old man from Stockwell, Indiana, reports that officials still 472 00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:02.039 do not understand why he was at the Illinois nursing home. 473 00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:04.720 According to Kane County Sheriff's Office attorney in a statement, 474 00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:09.119 officials examined body worn camera audio and video recording, statements 475 00:27:09.119 --> 00:27:11.359 from witnesses to the events, and physical evidence from the 476 00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:13.519 scene of the shooting, and the results of the autopsy, 477 00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:16.759 and based on the investigation, state's attorney's office found no 478 00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:19.319 wrongdoing on the part of the officers, and the review 479 00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:22.839 of the matter is now considered close. Witness called nine 480 00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:25.759 one one after Escalera entered the senior living home with 481 00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:30.039 the chainsaw. Body camera footage shows the first officer took 482 00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:37.240 out a taser when he first encountered Escalera while Esclaire 483 00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:40.720 entered a cafeteria with multiple elderly residents inside. Escalaire was 484 00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:43.480 briefly knocked down by the taser, but got back up, 485 00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:46.960 grabbed the chainsaw, and ran at the officer, who then 486 00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:51.000 shot him with a device. Officer evaded the cafeteria went 487 00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:53.880 back to the hot lobby to regroup with another officer. 488 00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:58.119 As they tried to confront escala again. Escalaire then held 489 00:27:58.160 --> 00:28:02.079 the chainsaw over his head and charged toward the officer. 490 00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:05.920 One of the officers then shot him twice, missing both 491 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:10.960 times whoops. Third shot hit Esclaire in the left arm 492 00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:15.279 as he fled the room states to talk attorney's office. 493 00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:18.519 Press Leers release said once reaching the hallway, Escalara stopped 494 00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:21.200 to the immediate right of an elderly resident in a wheelchair, 495 00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:23.559 turned toward the officers, and held his hands forward in 496 00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:28.480 a position which appeared to imitate holding a firearm. The 497 00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:32.599 officer fired a fourth shot, hitting Escallera in the chest. 498 00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:37.319 That was the fatal shot. He was pronounced dead. Toxicology 499 00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:41.880 report showed Escallera had the presence of mphetamines, meth n fetamines, 500 00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:48.240 and olanzipine in his system. No doubt, Joe, I didn't 501 00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:50.599 know what it is either. Lanzapine as a drug used 502 00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:56.880 to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia. So presumably a schizophrenic 503 00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:00.680 on n fetamines and methan fetamines. That's a bad combo argue, 504 00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:03.400 At least it sounds like it. You might grab a 505 00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:05.279 chainsaw and run into an elderly nursing home if you 506 00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:07.680 had on that in your system. State's Attorney's Office included 507 00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:10.599 the Saint Charles police officer had the reasonable belief that 508 00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:13.279 the deadly force he employed wasn't necessary to prevent death 509 00:29:13.359 --> 00:29:19.359 or great bodily harm to himself and other individuals. True, now, 510 00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:25.200 who could argue with that? Forty five ifty five carecy 511 00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:27.319 the talk station? More stupid coming up? Hope you can 512 00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:31.559 stick around right back? Fifty five the talk station. 513 00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:34.400 Did you know even the smallest increase in mortgage rates 514 00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:35.519 can cost you thousands? 515 00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:38.319 It is five forty nine and it's happy Monday to you. 516 00:29:39.880 --> 00:29:41.119 I'm gonna go over to the phones here before I 517 00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:42.880 get back to the stack as stupid, and I'll take 518 00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:45.319 Luke's call. Luke, thanks for calling this morning. I hope 519 00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:46.640 you're having a decent Monday so far. 520 00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:48.119 Yeah. 521 00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:49.799 Hey, we're just getting start of your head into work. 522 00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:55.400 So in reference to Mississippi, James, I'm a Trump supporter. 523 00:29:56.440 --> 00:29:59.160 I've been a Trump supporter for some time now, since 524 00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:02.720 his first presidency. I don't know exactly what address it was. 525 00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:04.279 I've been I've been supporting a long. 526 00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:05.440 Musk for some time. 527 00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:09.960 But when I'm watching that, whatever address it was, he 528 00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:12.039 made a heck of a hand gesture. I know he's 529 00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:14.440 not a Nazi because you'd have to be in Germany 530 00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:18.960 and the late thirties, early forties. He's not a Nazi, 531 00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:22.000 that shit. That word is so misused, but he certainly 532 00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:23.359 made a heck of a hand jesture. I'll give him 533 00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:24.920 a simmy James, And I don't know how you want 534 00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:27.519 to say picture. I'm watching him live address when it happened, 535 00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:29.799 and when I saw him do it my own health, Belisa, 536 00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:32.599 my first initial thought was out of the old hand, Jester, 537 00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:33.680 and that's all I got to say. 538 00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:35.759 Not fair enough, But I guess you have to put 539 00:30:35.759 --> 00:30:39.240 it in context. Has he ever uttered things that are 540 00:30:39.359 --> 00:30:41.799 Nazi like? Has he ever, you know, maybe he suggested 541 00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:45.559 rounding up the Jews and killing them. Has he advocated 542 00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:53.880 for the tenets of national socialism? No, So, you know, 543 00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:58.240 regardless of how and under what circumstances it happened, since 544 00:30:58.240 --> 00:31:01.799 he doesn't advocate for things Nazi and has never been 545 00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:07.119 that way, he has a well an easily reviewable record 546 00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:09.559 in terms of politics of what he's done throughout his life. 547 00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:15.759 Means the label just doesn't apply.

Of course, running from there, there's a debate 645 00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:50.360 this week with the tab Pervall and others. Steve Schumach's 646 00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:52.360 got a new trilogy series out, or at least he 647 00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:55.079 has a new third version of the trilogy series. It's 648 00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:58.400 called The Dark World Saga apparently has a lot of 649 00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:03.519 religious overtones, but this fantasy series. And he's a local 650 00:37:03.559 --> 00:37:08.559 author and his wife renowned for being a pioneer in homeschooling, 651 00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:10.960 Ta Shue make she's a wonderful lady. So he married, 652 00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:13.280 and he out kicked his coverage with Tea and he 653 00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:15.440 Hey Tech Friday with Dave Hatter and thanks again to 654 00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:17.639 Dave for a passing along the information about the digital 655 00:37:17.679 --> 00:37:20.920 cryptocurrencies and the idea that we should be able to 656 00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:23.679 have some cash to spend money on talked about that 657 00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:27.000 in the opening segment Last Hour. Let us see here 658 00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:31.559 coming up seven twenty with a former vice mayor of 659 00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:34.119 the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smith Aman with a Smith 660 00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:36.760 event we got to Empower you seminar to talk about 661 00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:40.159 with Mark or Scott Zimmerman. It's taking place March twenty fifth, 662 00:37:40.280 --> 00:37:44.559 Blue Lights and Human Health. So if that doesn't sound 663 00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:46.159 like it rings a bell to you, I mean your 664 00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:49.840 category either. It's also I have to read the materials, 665 00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:51.960 but that's all. We'll have Scott for to tell us 666 00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:53.800 all about it at eight forty So lots of free 667 00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:56.360 time to talk with you. If you care to call 668 00:37:56.440 --> 00:37:59.599 and make a comment, I would love that. Let us 669 00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:03.280 see here, you know which direction to go this morning? 670 00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:14.360 Some pulling information out. It's rather interesting now while everybody 671 00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:17.440 screams and yells about Elon Musk and Donald Trump, and 672 00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:22.320 actually Elon Musk is getting more press and criticism and 673 00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:25.639 actually praise in some cases than Donald Trump. But you know, 674 00:38:25.679 --> 00:38:28.480 Donald Trump is the initiator, and of course DOGE is 675 00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:30.920 the entity that's looking for fraud, waste and abuse, and 676 00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:33.519 I applaud that effort. We're finding out, you know, and 677 00:38:33.679 --> 00:38:37.920 it's a real eye opening thing, especially with USAID how 678 00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:40.960 much of that money loops back to support left wing 679 00:38:41.079 --> 00:38:46.559 causes quite a bunch. And I saw this article over 680 00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:50.360 on zero Hedge is apparently a data analyst out there, 681 00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:54.000 Tony Saruga, and he made a post on X the 682 00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:57.519 other day which is really eye opening in a couple 683 00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:00.719 of levels. First, there's the privacy l and it's this 684 00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:02.239 is kind of reflective of the kind of thing that 685 00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:04.559 Dave hat Or talks about all the time. You know, 686 00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:07.719 your devices are tracking you, your devices are watching you, 687 00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:10.039 your devices are recording what you are. But then also 688 00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:13.000 that social media aggregation and the aggregation of all this 689 00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:17.320 data on you, and so in so far as these 690 00:39:17.320 --> 00:39:20.800 Democrat rallies are concerned, and oh my god, thirty four 691 00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:23.760 thousand people out in Denver, largest political rally there since 692 00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:27.840 two thousand and eight, screens US Senator Bernie Sanders, this 693 00:39:28.280 --> 00:39:36.119 sort of organic, you know, resistance to Donald Trump, anti oligarchy, 694 00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:39.039 no oligarchy, no to trump Ism. I don't sure what 695 00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:41.480 they're offering by way of alternative. And there's some polling 696 00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:44.079 data out there that indicates the Democrats themselves don't know 697 00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:46.559 what they want to do. Do we shift further left 698 00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:48.280 and embrace the far left wing of the party. Do 699 00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:51.079 we embrace the moderates in the party. They're kind of 700 00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:53.239 divided down the center on which direction to go. But 701 00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:55.599 with that in mind, there was this big rally out there. 702 00:39:55.599 --> 00:39:58.800 You may have even read about it. So in Tony Sigura, 703 00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:03.559 the data analyst, apparently revealing how much information they've got 704 00:40:03.559 --> 00:40:07.039 about out there, he said there were twenty and eighty 705 00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:11.840 nine devices meaning cell phones. Basically still a large crowd 706 00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:13.559 and not even close to the thirty thousand quoted by 707 00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:15.719 the Denver newspapers of the thirty four thousand quote by 708 00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:19.159 Bernie Sanders. So some argument over how many people actually 709 00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:22.920 showed up, But the real fun fact startup when he 710 00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:25.239 started revealing the number crunching that we're done. Eighty four 711 00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:30.599 percent of the devices presented had attended nine or more 712 00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:36.320 Kamala Harris rallies, Antifat, slash BLM, pro Hamas pro Palestinian protests. 713 00:40:36.840 --> 00:40:39.639 Thirty one percent of the folks there had attended over 714 00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:45.159 twenty of these rallies. Huh, same folks showing up being 715 00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:48.480 toted around to these to show up at these rallies, 716 00:40:48.760 --> 00:40:50.599 he said, for more insight, into what data we also 717 00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:53.519 looked at In addition to GPS location data would be 718 00:40:53.599 --> 00:40:59.880 demographic and psychographic data using over six thousand different database 719 00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:03.000 And this again goes back to what Dave always talking about, 720 00:41:03.960 --> 00:41:07.079 I e. Like the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Pew Research Center, 721 00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:10.679 market research firms like you gov experience specialized tools like 722 00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:15.280 esri's Tapestry segmentation. No, I don't know what that is either, 723 00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:20.079 consumer survey, social media platforms like as Facebook and LinkedIn. 724 00:41:21.480 --> 00:41:27.440 Demographic data includes basic characteristics like age, gender, income, education level, occupation, 725 00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:31.519 marital status, family size, ethnicity, and where people live like 726 00:41:31.719 --> 00:41:34.960 city and state. All this data compiled in your own 727 00:41:35.039 --> 00:41:39.679 personal dossier basically, and they can cross reference it. Once 728 00:41:39.679 --> 00:41:41.960 they figure out where you are from a GPS signal, 729 00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:44.599 then they can determine who you are and understand all 730 00:41:44.639 --> 00:41:47.679 this information. Now moving over to what he car described 731 00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:56.440 as psychographic data, he writes it dives deeper into people's lifestyles, values, attitudes, interests, personality, traits, 732 00:41:56.480 --> 00:42:00.599 social class, activities, and how they make purchasing the decisions. 733 00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:04.800 For example, it might show if someone values sustainability, enjoys 734 00:42:04.800 --> 00:42:10.559 outdoor activities, participates in community activism. He wrote, while democratic 735 00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:15.840 data is straightforward, psychographic data can reveal sensitive personal details 736 00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:22.480 like beliefs even life goals. Additionally, by cross pollinating each 737 00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:26.840 device with other devices regularly within close proximity to the 738 00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:30.239 target device, really able to build a detailed profile of 739 00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:33.199 each target. Ninety percent of those in the above eighty 740 00:42:33.239 --> 00:42:38.199 four percent, the folks that had attended all these events 741 00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:43.480 multiple times were likely working with one of these five groups, 742 00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:48.159 and it is the reason for their presence. Once again, 743 00:42:48.199 --> 00:42:50.760 this is based on very sophisticated algorithm that looks at 744 00:42:50.760 --> 00:42:53.760 the behavioral metrics for each device, including the physical one 745 00:42:53.760 --> 00:42:57.000 to one proximity to leaders and paymasters from these groups 746 00:42:57.039 --> 00:43:01.079 in the past. And here's the groups he identifies. Eruption Project, 747 00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:10.079 Rise and Resist, Individual Project, Troublemakers, and the Democratic Socialists 748 00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:17.000 of America each receives money from Act Blue and at 749 00:43:17.079 --> 00:43:26.559 least three via usaid. Ah, there's the connection, he said. 750 00:43:26.559 --> 00:43:31.760 Disruption Project legal status is unclear, likely operating illegally his conclusion, 751 00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:33.320 and I don't know upon what he based that. I'll 752 00:43:33.360 --> 00:43:35.360 admit that Rise and Resist is a five O one 753 00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:39.280 C four nonprofit individual project. Also five A one C 754 00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:44.079 four nonprofit trouble Makers legal status is for profit Democratic 755 00:43:44.159 --> 00:43:53.679 Socialists of America. I'm not sure that one. So is 756 00:43:53.719 --> 00:43:57.719 it an organic gathering of people who were drawn to 757 00:43:57.800 --> 00:44:02.840 hear Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ziocortes talking about no oligachriy, 758 00:44:03.199 --> 00:44:07.559 no to authoritarianism, no to trump Ism. Or is this 759 00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:12.000 paid organization basically relying upon your taxpayer dollars as funnel 760 00:44:12.039 --> 00:44:14.719 through groups like USAID, or maybe even just a check 761 00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:17.679 written from George Soros's pocket, which he's allowed to do. 762 00:44:18.360 --> 00:44:20.760 I mean, George Soros can spend his money however he once. 763 00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:23.719 But the idea that USAID has been used to undermine 764 00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:27.719 conservative ideology, Libertarian ideology has been used to support left 765 00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:31.199 wing causes, promote and pump up something that clearly is 766 00:44:31.239 --> 00:44:35.920 not popular among the American people, like DEI CRT and 767 00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:41.960 the the left wing transgender agenda. Perhaps this is the problem. 768 00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:47.639 And if you wonder why they're pulling their hair out, 769 00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:50.199 why these organizations, And I'm going to suggest that these 770 00:44:50.239 --> 00:44:54.199 tesla attacks not just sort of you know, one off 771 00:44:54.239 --> 00:44:56.639 people getting a wild hair and seeing a tesla and 772 00:44:56.679 --> 00:44:59.719 decide to shoot it up with a firearm. That's somewhere 773 00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:02.639 behind This seems one of these organizations is pushing for 774 00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:07.280 this and encouraging it and coordinating it, which is going 775 00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:09.360 to give rise to a RICO count. You know, Bondi 776 00:45:09.400 --> 00:45:11.519 has said that we're going to prosecute you folks to 777 00:45:11.559 --> 00:45:13.239 the fullest extent of the law, and to the extent 778 00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:15.199 they can draw a line between any one of these 779 00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:22.679 organizations and organized criminality. That is RICO two or more 780 00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:25.400 people engaged in conspiracy to commit organized crime. It is 781 00:45:25.559 --> 00:45:28.840 organized when you are organizing it, and this is criminal behavior. 782 00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:31.360 And I got a big kick out of the fact 783 00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:38.199 that Elon Musk's vehicles they've got a security feature and 784 00:45:38.239 --> 00:45:41.000 that you can operate and of course, you know people 785 00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:44.400 who owned Teslas know that they have cameras in them, 786 00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:50.119 a multiple cameras. So there's a thing called Centry mode. 787 00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:52.199 And if you want to make sure your car isn't attacked, 788 00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:54.079 and if it is attacked, that you can capture and 789 00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:57.679 identify the people who attacked your car, just turn on 790 00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:00.119 the Sentry mode. It keeps the cameras and sensors the 791 00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:03.360 vehicle powered on and ready to record suspicious activity when 792 00:46:03.400 --> 00:46:07.360 it happens. Corner the manual for the Tesla three. You 793 00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:10.000 think a Center Mode as an intelligent vehicle security system 794 00:46:10.039 --> 00:46:14.519 that alerts you when it detects possible threats nearby. Tesla 795 00:46:14.599 --> 00:46:18.079 vehicles with Center Mode activated will pulse the headlights, sound 796 00:46:18.119 --> 00:46:20.719 the alarm, and display message on the touch screens. Seeing 797 00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:23.719 the cameras may be recording as a warning to those 798 00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:26.360 outside the vehicle if a threat is detected to the 799 00:46:26.400 --> 00:46:29.119 sensors pick up what it is described as jerky movements 800 00:46:29.159 --> 00:46:34.719 like being towed or shaken. It also saves the footage. 801 00:46:34.719 --> 00:46:37.639 It reports the information to the owner's Tesla mobile app 802 00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:40.079 and saves the footage in the event of the event 803 00:46:40.159 --> 00:46:43.199 under a USB drive if installed in the vehicle. So 804 00:46:43.280 --> 00:46:45.079 the only thing is your battery has to be powered 805 00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:49.119 at least twenty percent to make it work when the 806 00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:52.000 car is turned off. So there's an option for Tesla 807 00:46:52.039 --> 00:47:00.320 owners out there, and I just find it absolutely open 808 00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:03.320 on so many levels for all these former environmentalists to 809 00:47:03.320 --> 00:47:06.760 be burning Teslas and attacking them merely because Elon Musk 810 00:47:06.840 --> 00:47:10.360 is trying to save us from ourselves. Ah, I feel 811 00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:12.599 free to call love to hear from somebody five and 812 00:47:12.639 --> 00:47:14.320 three seven four nine fifty five hundred. I got to 813 00:47:14.360 --> 00:47:16.880 wait for Christopher's Smithman to show up at seven twenty. 814 00:47:18.039 --> 00:47:20.559 QC Kinetics maybe the group of your pain. They offer 815 00:47:20.639 --> 00:47:24.119 a free consultation to find out if these natural regenitive 816 00:47:24.159 --> 00:47:28.480 medicine therapies can help you get rid of your arthritic 817 00:47:28.559 --> 00:47:31.320 pain and provide you with lasting relief without drugs and 818 00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:35.000 surgery and downtime. It's in office procedure. So if you're 819 00:47:35.039 --> 00:47:38.440 having problems like, for example, picking up the kids, sleeping, walking, 820 00:47:38.519 --> 00:47:41.159 your day to day movement has been impacted by the pain, 821 00:47:42.679 --> 00:47:45.360 You're not interested in having surgery because it comes with 822 00:47:45.519 --> 00:47:48.440 uncertainty as well as a long recovery time. Maybe you've 823 00:47:48.440 --> 00:47:51.360 talked to your doctor about that angle and you miss 824 00:47:51.440 --> 00:47:54.039 doing things that you love like walking and goffing, maybe 825 00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:57.039 picking up the grandchildren, anyone that happens to be. So 826 00:47:57.320 --> 00:47:59.400 if it's yes, any of the four going, you may 827 00:47:59.400 --> 00:48:01.599 be a great candidates to find out from the people 828 00:48:01.639 --> 00:48:05.079 of QC Kinetics by taking advantage of the free consultation. 829 00:48:06.159 --> 00:48:09.239 Tens of thousand people thousands of people nationally have gotten 830 00:48:09.280 --> 00:48:12.400 relief from their pain with QC Kinetics regenitive treatment.

What are from now? A little lesson 837 00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:38.159 now hopefully seven twenty with Christopher Smithing and then we'll 838 00:48:38.159 --> 00:48:39.960 find out what blue Light and human health is all 839 00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:42.400 about at eight forty in the meantime over the phones 840 00:48:42.400 --> 00:48:44.639 and God bless west Side Jim Keefer saving me from 841 00:48:44.679 --> 00:48:47.599 myself on a Monday as I try to wake up 842 00:48:48.199 --> 00:48:50.920 Wes Saie. Jim, thank you for calling this morning. 843 00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:54.199 He shall a little desperate with hit test. 844 00:48:54.480 --> 00:48:57.039 I you know, I hate and I hate sounding that way, 845 00:48:57.079 --> 00:48:59.559 but you know there's some I just don't like this 846 00:48:59.679 --> 00:49:01.400 sound my own voice. And I don't know if I'm 847 00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:04.000 handing out information that's valuable people or not. But I 848 00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:05.840 know there's a million topics out there, and I, of 849 00:49:05.880 --> 00:49:07.920 course I left of my discretion, it would go down whatever 850 00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:10.280 road I choose to. But I like hearing from my 851 00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:12.719 callers and you know, wanting to know what there's, what's 852 00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:16.719 on their mind and sometimes interesting and sometimes enlightening and 853 00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:22.280 sometimes informative but you know somebody else's voice sometimes like me, yeah, exactly, 854 00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:24.400 and we never know which direction you're going to go. 855 00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:27.239 Jim, Well, I've got one this morning that you can 856 00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:29.480 maybe help me out on. And I know you dabble 857 00:49:29.599 --> 00:49:33.559 in the political field, but I got something that hit 858 00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:36.519 me over the weekend and has really been bugging the 859 00:49:36.639 --> 00:49:39.639 heck out of me. Trying and keep it clean so 860 00:49:39.760 --> 00:49:42.239 you don't have to hit that dumb button. Well, like 861 00:49:42.239 --> 00:49:44.079 when Corey was on, that was kind of he was 862 00:49:44.639 --> 00:49:45.360 so bad. 863 00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:47.840 Oh my god, you look on his face. 864 00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:50.239 He said, he's got to learn the rules. 865 00:49:50.719 --> 00:49:54.280 But I think there's a false platform and maybe you 866 00:49:54.320 --> 00:49:56.760 can either argue with me on this or not with 867 00:49:57.559 --> 00:50:01.639 There's two Republicans and a Democrat for mayor and this 868 00:50:01.760 --> 00:50:05.280 is a there's a seven o'clock debate tomorrow night. Is 869 00:50:05.320 --> 00:50:07.559 a cove Del Theater up on Glenway, right up from 870 00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:10.960 prysl Chile, open to the public and open to the public, 871 00:50:11.239 --> 00:50:13.199 and I'm sure it's going to be packed. But they 872 00:50:13.239 --> 00:50:17.119 do take written questions, but they only usually take two 873 00:50:17.199 --> 00:50:20.559 or three from the crowd. Most of the time it's 874 00:50:20.599 --> 00:50:22.960 ahead of time and then they you know, kind of 875 00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:26.360 go through. But anyway, there might be some shenanigans going 876 00:50:26.400 --> 00:50:32.639 on because this one of our Republican candidates, and he 877 00:50:32.960 --> 00:50:38.039 back in somewhere around twenty sixteen twenty seventeen started donating 878 00:50:38.119 --> 00:50:41.519 money to Democrats and so forth, and he did actually 879 00:50:41.519 --> 00:50:45.960 pull Republican ballots. But now in twenty twenty three, it's 880 00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:51.800 been out now that he has pulled Democratic ballance ballots. 881 00:50:51.840 --> 00:50:56.679 I'm sorry to vote in city elections. And that just 882 00:50:56.800 --> 00:50:59.960 kind of gets to me because there's been rumors behind 883 00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:03.480 the scenes that, you know, Corey's a great candidate, especially 884 00:51:03.480 --> 00:51:05.559 for the Republican side, a breath of fresh air that 885 00:51:05.559 --> 00:51:09.440 we haven't had in a long time. And I'm kind 886 00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:12.000 of feeling that I'm not going to use the word 887 00:51:12.079 --> 00:51:16.320 plant per se, but I don't know if there's something 888 00:51:16.360 --> 00:51:20.440 going on that they're so afraid of Corey Bowman that 889 00:51:20.840 --> 00:51:23.920 they have to actually push And I know he's been 890 00:51:24.559 --> 00:51:28.360 the other gentleman has been talked to about possibly moving 891 00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:32.000 over to the city council race, and that way we 892 00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:34.440 wouldn't have the primary for the mayor and just let 893 00:51:34.519 --> 00:51:37.559 Corey and Purval go after each other, right, which I 894 00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:40.559 think is going to happen anyway, But it takes away 895 00:51:40.559 --> 00:51:43.800 from the Republican as far as donor money and everything else. 896 00:51:44.239 --> 00:51:46.400 But I just got a feeling that there's something going 897 00:51:46.440 --> 00:51:51.000 on the word the man pulls twenty twenty three ballots 898 00:51:51.039 --> 00:51:54.679 for the Democrats, Why what reasoning? And I'm going to 899 00:51:54.679 --> 00:51:56.679 submit that question tomorrow and I and see if they 900 00:51:56.840 --> 00:51:59.920 number one, if they produce it to him, and number two, 901 00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:03.159 if he'll answer it correctly. Because he's been to our 902 00:52:03.199 --> 00:52:07.199 club a couple of times and talked, and none of 903 00:52:07.199 --> 00:52:11.280 the city subjects have come up about purval. He doesn't 904 00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:14.360 talk about it. He doesn't say anything you know, negative, or. 905 00:52:14.559 --> 00:52:15.199 Brings it up. 906 00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:19.320 He has talked just real quick about a pothole situation. 907 00:52:19.480 --> 00:52:23.920 But I just have real questions and a real funny 908 00:52:23.960 --> 00:52:26.920 feeling that something's going on here behind the scenes from 909 00:52:26.960 --> 00:52:31.119 the Democratic Party that that is trying to maybe knock 910 00:52:31.280 --> 00:52:32.719 Cory out, which I don't think is. 911 00:52:32.679 --> 00:52:34.280 Going to happen. Well, see, that was what I was 912 00:52:34.320 --> 00:52:38.039 going to go. Cory's got pretty good name recognition, he's 913 00:52:38.239 --> 00:52:40.119 you know, got He's been out meeting all kinds of 914 00:52:40.199 --> 00:52:44.880 Republicans I think he has. He stands a much much 915 00:52:44.960 --> 00:52:47.559 higher likelihood of winning the primary. This is the top 916 00:52:47.559 --> 00:52:48.840 two vote getters is going to be a have to 917 00:52:48.880 --> 00:52:51.679 have provol and probably Corey Bowman, which means the other 918 00:52:51.679 --> 00:52:53.239 guy is not going to be a contender and can't 919 00:52:53.239 --> 00:52:55.400 split the race when it comes into November or it 920 00:52:55.400 --> 00:52:57.920 comes to the election, right. 921 00:52:58.960 --> 00:53:02.000 I just don't know understand, And you know, I've been 922 00:53:02.000 --> 00:53:04.440 around politics for a week or two and I just 923 00:53:04.440 --> 00:53:07.920 don't understand why this is being important. Maybe it's just 924 00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:10.880 because my foil hat's getting on there too tight, but 925 00:53:11.239 --> 00:53:13.320 I just don't understand why this is happening. 926 00:53:13.599 --> 00:53:16.320 I have no explanation for that either. Gem It's as 927 00:53:16.320 --> 00:53:18.400 puzzling to me as it is to you, especially for 928 00:53:18.440 --> 00:53:21.360 a guy who's not on political solid ground, given him 929 00:53:21.360 --> 00:53:25.000 going back and forth between the Democrat support and Republican support, 930 00:53:25.519 --> 00:53:27.119 I don't know how in this day and age you 931 00:53:27.159 --> 00:53:30.440 can run that way. I mean, it doesn't depend which 932 00:53:30.440 --> 00:53:31.760 side of the bet he gets out of the morning, 933 00:53:31.840 --> 00:53:35.079 whether he's a Republican or Democrat. I have no willing 934 00:53:35.119 --> 00:53:37.159 of answering this questions. It always appeared to me to 935 00:53:37.159 --> 00:53:40.559 be really strange though that that information is out there 936 00:53:40.559 --> 00:53:43.800 and exists, and a lot of his ex account, you know, 937 00:53:44.599 --> 00:53:49.280 blurbs also show strong support for some rather controversial Democrat candidates, 938 00:53:49.280 --> 00:53:52.039 at least I would call them controversial, like. 939 00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:55.119 You Bet Simpson in the payoffs and others. 940 00:53:55.559 --> 00:53:57.440 Yeah, but it is. 941 00:53:57.519 --> 00:53:59.679 I just wanted your opinion on a radio so people 942 00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:02.679 could actually hear it. Maybe don't go on X or 943 00:54:02.920 --> 00:54:03.840 hear things like this. 944 00:54:04.039 --> 00:54:04.760 I wanted them to. 945 00:54:04.920 --> 00:54:07.800 And if they have to vote in the city, I 946 00:54:07.840 --> 00:54:10.000 want this kind of information out there to make them 947 00:54:10.039 --> 00:54:13.480 go hmm, maybe something is going on and maybe Corey, 948 00:54:13.760 --> 00:54:15.519 if they were going back and forth through to vote 949 00:54:15.519 --> 00:54:18.079 for maybe that will push him over his side for sure. 950 00:54:18.239 --> 00:54:20.679 Well, Corey's promised to start, I mean, if he wins 951 00:54:20.679 --> 00:54:24.960 the primary, he's promised that he will thoroughly engage Democrats 952 00:54:24.960 --> 00:54:26.960 and thoroughly get out of the neighborhoods that have been 953 00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:29.280 ill served by the Democrats who've been running the city 954 00:54:29.320 --> 00:54:32.800 for the last several decades. And right now his focus 955 00:54:32.840 --> 00:54:35.599 is on interacting with Republicans who will be the one 956 00:54:35.639 --> 00:54:37.239 that will decide whether they're going to vote for him 957 00:54:37.320 --> 00:54:40.000 or somebody else on the in the primary. And I 958 00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:42.920 think if he does that, this type of information that 959 00:54:43.000 --> 00:54:46.880 you are aware of and your fellow engaged Republicans are 960 00:54:46.920 --> 00:54:50.079 already aware of will ensure that Corey does win the primary. 961 00:54:51.360 --> 00:54:51.760 Let's hope. 962 00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:54.079 So let's keep spreading the word.

I can tell you 1014 00:57:11.880 --> 00:57:15.400 we really there's a whole group. I know for sure 1015 00:57:15.719 --> 00:57:19.760 that I appreciate you. I appreciate that man, very thankful. 1016 00:57:19.960 --> 00:57:27.239 We're not going to let you retire ever anyhow And anyhow, 1017 00:57:27.519 --> 00:57:29.920 so I was I talked to a lot of people 1018 00:57:30.000 --> 00:57:32.000 up here in New Hampshire and we're in southern New 1019 00:57:32.000 --> 00:57:37.320 Hampshire near Boston. I guess sixty miles it's about thirty 1020 00:57:37.360 --> 00:57:38.239 miles too close. 1021 00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:44.280 But there's there's a lot of you just you talk 1022 00:57:44.400 --> 00:57:48.559 to people and you're like, what are you taking? What 1023 00:57:49.400 --> 00:57:50.119 are you thinking. 1024 00:57:50.639 --> 00:57:54.079 And a lot of them are really thinking that, you know, 1025 00:57:54.440 --> 00:58:02.440 Tesla bad Elon Moss really bad for exposing the government corruption. 1026 00:58:03.440 --> 00:58:09.480 And they really believe that because to them it's there. 1027 00:58:10.519 --> 00:58:14.920 It's almost like it is a religion that government shall 1028 00:58:15.000 --> 00:58:17.960 take care of you. And I suppose that a lot 1029 00:58:18.000 --> 00:58:20.679 of them are being taken care of because I know 1030 00:58:21.239 --> 00:58:27.960 where I work, the engineering department, mostly well educated engineers 1031 00:58:28.039 --> 00:58:33.119 that went to really good schools. They're all in their thirties, 1032 00:58:33.280 --> 00:58:35.679 none of them are married, none of them have children, 1033 00:58:36.039 --> 00:58:40.440 and all of them pledge their loyalty to government and 1034 00:58:41.000 --> 00:58:45.760 really the you know, they're they're all Bernie Sanders accolytes. 1035 00:58:45.519 --> 00:58:46.400 For the most part. 1036 00:58:47.119 --> 00:58:50.000 And we've got a couple that AOC would be perfectly 1037 00:58:50.039 --> 00:58:55.679 fine with. And you know, I guess they're student loans. 1038 00:58:55.960 --> 00:59:00.320 They're the hand that feeds them is all ti up 1039 00:59:00.320 --> 00:59:04.079 in government and like they could care less about their 1040 00:59:04.119 --> 00:59:07.440 social security. They're like it's always going to be there, yes, 1041 00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:11.800 And they really have no sense of money. They're because 1042 00:59:11.800 --> 00:59:16.559 they're all socialists. Most are socialists, not all, but most 1043 00:59:16.559 --> 00:59:20.079 are socialists, and they really thrive on this, you know, 1044 00:59:20.400 --> 00:59:25.280 live and party today. And they to me, they seem 1045 00:59:25.400 --> 00:59:26.599 they seem a little lost. 1046 00:59:27.119 --> 00:59:31.960 You know, well, I guess they fail to look behind 1047 00:59:31.960 --> 00:59:36.360 the veneer of their socialist ideology to appreciate that it 1048 00:59:37.079 --> 00:59:40.400 collapses upon itself. It's like the information I've provided earlier 1049 00:59:40.400 --> 00:59:44.360 about the Social Security situation. You know, it's by definition, 1050 00:59:44.440 --> 00:59:46.800 it's literally a Ponzi scheme. All the money that comes 1051 00:59:46.800 --> 00:59:48.480 in is going right out the door to pay for 1052 00:59:48.519 --> 00:59:51.280 those who put in money into the program. There's no 1053 00:59:51.440 --> 00:59:54.199 trust fund out there that has all of this money 1054 00:59:54.280 --> 00:59:57.559 in that can you know, satisfy the promises made by government. 1055 00:59:57.960 --> 01:00:00.360 And it's collapsing. And people have been talking about this 1056 01:00:00.400 --> 01:00:02.840 for the last fifteen to twenty years at least, you know, 1057 01:00:02.920 --> 01:00:07.199 and the government's own records reflected and you know, Elon 1058 01:00:07.320 --> 01:00:09.960 Musk says it out loud, and people accuse him of 1059 01:00:09.960 --> 01:00:12.039 wanting to get rid of Social Security. He's like, wait 1060 01:00:12.079 --> 01:00:14.679 a second, I'm just trying to save it, you know, 1061 01:00:14.840 --> 01:00:16.920 and you get mad at him for that. I think 1062 01:00:16.960 --> 01:00:22.800 their ideology blinds them to the fiscal problems that this creates. 1063 01:00:23.679 --> 01:00:27.960 It's a you know, I just have no other way 1064 01:00:28.000 --> 01:00:30.239 of explaining it. You know. Maybe it is like religion. 1065 01:00:30.280 --> 01:00:32.000 You're talk about having faith in Jesus. You know, you 1066 01:00:32.079 --> 01:00:33.639 have to have that leap of faith and they have 1067 01:00:33.639 --> 01:00:35.840 a leap of faith that socialism is going to ultimately 1068 01:00:35.880 --> 01:00:38.239 work when every time it's been tried it has been 1069 01:00:38.280 --> 01:00:43.559 an absolute miserable failure for the financial implications and reasons 1070 01:00:43.559 --> 01:00:48.800 that it brings about. You know, it's sad, It's really 1071 01:00:49.000 --> 01:00:53.480 really sad. And you know, man diagnosable, you know, psychological 1072 01:00:53.519 --> 01:00:56.360 problem or something. Gary Todd hang on amount of time 1073 01:00:56.400 --> 01:00:58.360 in the segment, but I really truly want to talk 1074 01:00:58.360 --> 01:00:59.639 to you. So if you don't mind holding for just 1075 01:00:59.679 --> 01:01:01.920 a couple minutes here six thirty eight fifty five K 1076 01:01:02.039 --> 01:01:03.840 City Talk station, I can give you an opportunity to 1077 01:01:03.840 --> 01:01:06.559 save money affordable imaging services where you do not have 1078 01:01:06.599 --> 01:01:09.960 to pay the outrageous price that the hospital imaging department 1079 01:01:10.039 --> 01:01:13.239 charges you for echo cardiograms and MRIs and CT scans 1080 01:01:13.239 --> 01:01:15.440 and ultrasounds and the like. They use the same kind 1081 01:01:15.440 --> 01:01:18.599 of equipment that hospitals use, operated by medical professionals. Have 1082 01:01:18.639 --> 01:01:21.199 been doing this for decades. I've had several scans. There 1083 01:01:21.360 --> 01:01:25.039 absolutely no problem from my doctor's perspective. The board certified 1084 01:01:25.079 --> 01:01:27.760 radiologist report comes in the low price that they charge you. 1085 01:01:28.440 --> 01:01:31.280 There's little overhead there, But what do you need metal 1086 01:01:31.360 --> 01:01:35.119 sculpt or, you know, beautiful marble sculptures and water features 1087 01:01:35.119 --> 01:01:38.039 and all the overhead. No, they got low overhead, same equipment. 1088 01:01:38.320 --> 01:01:40.840 You get your image, You get your report within forty 1089 01:01:40.880 --> 01:01:42.760 eight hours, so does your doctor. And it will work, 1090 01:01:42.760 --> 01:01:45.519 and it'll be cheap.

President Trump is going 1146 01:04:12.199 --> 01:04:15.440 to privatize the post Office.

The post Office should 1164 01:04:54.360 --> 01:04:57.960 have the flexibility of any other organization to hire people, 1165 01:04:58.000 --> 01:05:02.039 fire people, change the businesiness model and practices. And there's 1166 01:05:02.079 --> 01:05:05.280 an article a Postal Service cut fifty million work hours, 1167 01:05:05.320 --> 01:05:07.840 closed a bunch of facilities and saved billions of dollars. 1168 01:05:07.880 --> 01:05:11.280 They've been engaged in this ten year action plan called 1169 01:05:11.320 --> 01:05:14.559 Delivering for America, and it's actually bearing a little bit 1170 01:05:14.599 --> 01:05:18.519 of fruit. They're still losing billions of dollars annually, but 1171 01:05:18.599 --> 01:05:21.000 it sounds like that they're at least trying to take 1172 01:05:21.039 --> 01:05:23.519 some steps in the right direction. But as the article 1173 01:05:23.559 --> 01:05:27.719 points out the problem is they are prevented not only 1174 01:05:27.719 --> 01:05:30.000 by the union and the collective bargaining agreement with the 1175 01:05:30.000 --> 01:05:31.960 Post Office, but by the rules that are in place 1176 01:05:32.000 --> 01:05:35.360 from Congress, which prevent them from implementing some substantial changes 1177 01:05:35.400 --> 01:05:36.400 to their business model. 1178 01:05:37.119 --> 01:05:42.400 It's well, that gets back to the whole Republican Democrats 1179 01:05:42.440 --> 01:05:44.280 can't work together, and so on and so forth. 1180 01:05:44.320 --> 01:05:46.119 But I just I'm glad he's going to I hope 1181 01:05:46.159 --> 01:05:46.639 it works. 1182 01:05:47.199 --> 01:05:51.360 Like I said, it's just another bloated government agency with union. 1183 01:05:51.440 --> 01:05:52.840 And I don't really think against. 1184 01:05:52.639 --> 01:05:54.920 Unions because I think some companies try to scrup people. 1185 01:05:55.079 --> 01:05:56.880 So I've never been in the union, but I've been 1186 01:05:56.880 --> 01:05:58.679 wrapping laid off. But at the end of the day, 1187 01:05:59.079 --> 01:06:02.440 you cannot run a business losing eight to ten million 1188 01:06:02.440 --> 01:06:05.920 dollars a year. And I just it's it's twenty twenty 1189 01:06:05.920 --> 01:06:08.679 five nine, nineteen seventy where we need mail delivered every day. 1190 01:06:08.920 --> 01:06:10.159 Yeah, so hey, I'll let you go. 1191 01:06:10.360 --> 01:06:11.400 I'll do a great week. 1192 01:06:11.639 --> 01:06:13.320 I appreciate and I'm always thinking about your brother. 1193 01:06:13.480 --> 01:06:16.320 I truly appreciate it.

I did have some homemade 1233 01:08:03.039 --> 01:08:05.400 sourdough bread, thanks to my wife for making another loaf. 1234 01:08:05.400 --> 01:08:08.760 She's been making it every weekend and Saturday was no different, 1235 01:08:08.840 --> 01:08:12.880 so I did get that and uh, for for whatever reason, 1236 01:08:12.920 --> 01:08:13.400 didn't help. 1237 01:08:15.679 --> 01:08:20.199 Well anyway, I'm also all for Trump's cutting these programs. 1238 01:08:20.199 --> 01:08:24.239 There's way too much government workers and government bloat and waste, 1239 01:08:24.279 --> 01:08:28.119 and yeah, it'll get get better. 1240 01:08:28.359 --> 01:08:29.119 I hope. 1241 01:08:29.159 --> 01:08:32.199 So and there's a glimmer of hope.

And I think maybe all behind all 1246 01:08:45.680 --> 01:08:49.000 this agitation is they just realize that their government funded 1247 01:08:49.199 --> 01:08:53.199 political action money is going to dry up. And that 1248 01:08:53.359 --> 01:08:55.680 seems to be the direction. A lot of this information 1249 01:08:55.760 --> 01:08:58.279 that we've now been that's now been revealed in the American 1250 01:08:58.319 --> 01:09:02.600 public is reflecting usayed. One prime example, the money loop 1251 01:09:02.640 --> 01:09:06.199 goes from Washington, allegedly out to foreign countries or maybe not, 1252 01:09:06.319 --> 01:09:09.439 and then back into Washington to fund lobbying organizations like 1253 01:09:09.479 --> 01:09:12.439 the ones that are organizing these big you know, rallies 1254 01:09:12.520 --> 01:09:18.159 with with Bernie Sanders and alexandri Ocasio Cortes. Anyhow, back 1255 01:09:18.159 --> 01:09:20.119 over to the Postal Service. I had this article that 1256 01:09:20.279 --> 01:09:24.399 provided a lot of information on the reality of what's 1257 01:09:24.439 --> 01:09:28.199 going on. So they just they announced last Thursday, US 1258 01:09:28.279 --> 01:09:31.920 Postal Service you know, through the Postmaster General Lewis de Joy, 1259 01:09:32.760 --> 01:09:35.640 saying they've already saved billions of dollars annually, cutting fifty 1260 01:09:35.680 --> 01:09:40.239 million work hours, closing some unnecessary facilities, and increasing plant productivity, 1261 01:09:40.359 --> 01:09:43.199 saying it translated a two point five billion in annual 1262 01:09:43.279 --> 01:09:48.520 savings according to their March twentieth statements. Reductions part of 1263 01:09:48.560 --> 01:09:53.840 what is described as the Delivering for America initial cap. 1264 01:09:53.880 --> 01:09:57.439 On that plan, it's a ten year plan to implement 1265 01:09:57.600 --> 01:10:02.760 changes to promote their you know, financial efficiency and operational efficiency. 1266 01:10:03.680 --> 01:10:06.960 Postmaster Jajoy said that the United States Postal Service had 1267 01:10:07.039 --> 01:10:12.520 terminated thirty thousand workers since fiscal year twenty twenty one. 1268 01:10:12.720 --> 01:10:16.159 Prior administration, another ten thousand workers expected it laid off 1269 01:10:16.199 --> 01:10:19.800 within a month, he said. In addition to work hour savings, 1270 01:10:19.800 --> 01:10:22.600 Delivering for America has resulted in two point two billion 1271 01:10:22.720 --> 01:10:27.359 in annual transportation cost reductions by streamlining networks and optimizing 1272 01:10:27.399 --> 01:10:32.880 air and service options. See the business model needed improvement, 1273 01:10:32.920 --> 01:10:36.199 and that's what they're struggling to do right now. They said, 1274 01:10:36.239 --> 01:10:38.720 it's not going to impact your mail service. There may 1275 01:10:38.760 --> 01:10:42.119 be some regions that might experience a maybe a one 1276 01:10:42.319 --> 01:10:45.079 day delay, but overall delivery speeds for both mail and 1277 01:10:45.079 --> 01:10:48.199 package is expected to actually improve. According to the announcement, 1278 01:10:49.560 --> 01:10:53.800 refinements in service standards are announced. The claim that will 1279 01:10:53.840 --> 01:10:57.000 save the agency a minimum of thirty six billion dollars 1280 01:10:57.039 --> 01:11:01.880 over the next decade through reductions in real estate, date transportation, 1281 01:11:02.119 --> 01:11:06.520 and mail and package costs. The JOY said last month 1282 01:11:06.560 --> 01:11:10.199 Postmaster the postal system has long been burdened by rules 1283 01:11:10.199 --> 01:11:13.800 that failed to account for changes in mail volume and mix, 1284 01:11:13.880 --> 01:11:17.439 which no one can deny has actually came about because 1285 01:11:17.439 --> 01:11:21.359 of email and the Internet, resulted in costly and ineffective 1286 01:11:21.399 --> 01:11:25.479 operations quote for decades, and most specifically during the last 1287 01:11:25.560 --> 01:11:33.960 three years, Congress has actively resisted operational solutions and meaningful change, 1288 01:11:34.279 --> 01:11:40.720 Congress standing in the way. New ups cost reg reduction 1289 01:11:40.800 --> 01:11:43.520 plan comes after the agency reported a net loss of 1290 01:11:44.079 --> 01:11:48.920 nine point five billion dollars for last fiscal year, three 1291 01:11:49.279 --> 01:11:53.840 billion more than fiscal twenty twenty three, in spite of 1292 01:11:54.000 --> 01:11:57.920 and how does this happen? Revenues rising going up to 1293 01:11:57.920 --> 01:11:59.920 seven hundred and eight or seventy eight point onenty eight 1294 01:12:00.000 --> 01:12:03.760 billion to seventy nine point five to three billion, more 1295 01:12:03.800 --> 01:12:07.720 than a billion additional revenue, and yet three billion dollars 1296 01:12:07.720 --> 01:12:13.199 more in loss. How does that happen? Last week, Postmaster 1297 01:12:13.279 --> 01:12:16.479 informed congressional lawmakers that the postal system had signed an 1298 01:12:16.520 --> 01:12:19.520 agreement with the Department of Governmental Efficiency DOGE and the 1299 01:12:19.600 --> 01:12:23.319 General Service Administration to work together on a bunch of 1300 01:12:23.319 --> 01:12:29.840 different issues identifying and achieving further efficiencies. Focus on reviewing 1301 01:12:29.920 --> 01:12:33.680 the mismanagement of our self funded retirement assets and the 1302 01:12:33.720 --> 01:12:39.039 actuarial miscalculations of our retirement obligations. They said. The effort 1303 01:12:39.039 --> 01:12:42.479 to work look into the mismanagement of our workers' compensation program, 1304 01:12:42.479 --> 01:12:46.560 which resulted in four hundred million in excessive annual charges 1305 01:12:46.600 --> 01:12:52.399 compared to practices in the private industry. And for those 1306 01:12:52.439 --> 01:12:55.439 who would argue against this, again, it's much like trying 1307 01:12:55.479 --> 01:13:00.239 to save Social Security from itself. There are ways to 1308 01:13:00.279 --> 01:13:03.319 fix some of the problems, and they're merely endeavoring to 1309 01:13:03.479 --> 01:13:06.680 identify them. If Congress must ultimately approve them, then Congress 1310 01:13:06.720 --> 01:13:11.000 should approve them. You want mail delivery to continue, You 1311 01:13:11.000 --> 01:13:13.840 want to quit paying billions and billions of dollars every 1312 01:13:13.920 --> 01:13:17.119 single year in losses to keep it afloat under the 1313 01:13:17.199 --> 01:13:21.359 current practices. When some of these current practices are outdated, outmoded, 1314 01:13:21.399 --> 01:13:25.680 and just downright inefficient, why would you be against this 1315 01:13:26.000 --> 01:13:29.359 type of thing happening? Maybe chime in and after top 1316 01:13:29.399 --> 01:13:30.640 of the hour news got a little bit of time 1317 01:13:30.680 --> 01:13:32.039 before we get to the former vice mayor of the 1318 01:13:32.039 --> 01:13:33.960 City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smith had been coming up at 1319 01:13:33.960 --> 01:13:35.239 seven to twenty. I'll be right back. 1320 01:13:35.479 --> 01:13:37.920 From a full rundown and the biggest ten lines just 1321 01:13:37.960 --> 01:13:40.319 minutes away at the top of the hour. I'm giving 1322 01:13:40.319 --> 01:13:43.279 you a fact now the Americans should know fifty five rs. 1323 01:13:43.840 --> 01:13:44.720 The talk station. 1324 01:13:45.439 --> 01:13:47.760 This report is SPONSORBLE. 1325 01:14:02.800 --> 01:14:10.000 Seven oh six. Look about KRCD coalk station. Try to 1326 01:14:10.039 --> 01:14:12.520 have a happy Monday, but a bit of an emotional 1327 01:14:12.560 --> 01:14:15.960 struggle over the weekend and continuing into a Monday. So 1328 01:14:16.359 --> 01:14:18.840 no idea why I'm in a state of funk, but 1329 01:14:18.960 --> 01:14:22.640 I'll least admit that I am anyhow. Christopher Smith and 1330 01:14:22.720 --> 01:14:24.399 puts a smile on my face. We'll be joining the 1331 01:14:24.439 --> 01:14:27.239 program in about fifteen minutes seven to twenty for the 1332 01:14:27.239 --> 01:14:29.239 former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati and the 1333 01:14:29.399 --> 01:14:33.079 always interesting and enlightening Smith event. And we're going to 1334 01:14:33.119 --> 01:14:35.399 faast forward to eight forty. We have an empower use someone. 1335 01:14:35.399 --> 01:14:37.319 It should be really interesting. I was reading up on 1336 01:14:37.319 --> 01:14:43.039 the notes on this our blue light environment is degrading 1337 01:14:43.079 --> 01:14:47.960 our health. Apparently, the concept of us being normally exposed 1338 01:14:48.000 --> 01:14:50.680 to sort of red and infrared light and now in 1339 01:14:50.680 --> 01:14:53.800 the twentieth century with LED lights which apparently had more 1340 01:14:53.840 --> 01:14:57.680 of a blue hue, it's impacting our health. And Scott Zimmerman, 1341 01:15:00.800 --> 01:15:03.199 founder of a company called Silas and corporate maker of 1342 01:15:03.359 --> 01:15:06.520 nir A Lighting, got more than thirty five years of 1343 01:15:06.560 --> 01:15:08.840 experience in the field of lighting displays. He's going to 1344 01:15:08.840 --> 01:15:11.239 be doing a seminar on this empower You seminar taking 1345 01:15:11.239 --> 01:15:15.039 place March twenty fifth. Empower Youueamerica dot org. And thanks 1346 01:15:15.079 --> 01:15:17.880 as always the Dan Reagnold for the empower you concept. 1347 01:15:18.319 --> 01:15:20.439 We're getting some polling information I wanted to dive on 1348 01:15:20.520 --> 01:15:24.119 into because it is. It's enlightening. Thanks to Westside Jim 1349 01:15:24.199 --> 01:15:26.600 Keefer who called earlier today to talk about the mayor 1350 01:15:26.640 --> 01:15:29.520 oal race. He sent me an article from Sharon Coolidge. 1351 01:15:30.279 --> 01:15:36.680 It's from the Cincinni Inquirer, headline twenty seven seeking Cincinnati 1352 01:15:36.720 --> 01:15:42.560 Council seats so big Field. Twenty seven people have picked 1353 01:15:42.600 --> 01:15:44.840 up petitions at the Hamilt County Board of Elections, which 1354 01:15:44.880 --> 01:15:46.479 is the first step to run. Youve got to get 1355 01:15:46.479 --> 01:15:50.159 five hundred signatures in order to fulfill the qualifications. Eight 1356 01:15:50.279 --> 01:15:55.520 current Democrat council members. Former councilwoman Lakita Cole apparently going 1357 01:15:55.600 --> 01:16:00.199 to be running as an independent former state representative than 1358 01:16:00.560 --> 01:16:05.359 Democrat Dale Mallory, brother of yes Mark Mallory. We have 1359 01:16:05.479 --> 01:16:13.399 a first transgender candidate, someone named Saul Cercy, an undisclosed 1360 01:16:13.640 --> 01:16:18.000 unnamed Republican, a former mayoral candidate and former Cincinnati Public 1361 01:16:18.039 --> 01:16:24.600 School board member as well. Is Morowski run in Joe, 1362 01:16:25.479 --> 01:16:30.399 No idea, anywall, just an interesting It's going to be 1363 01:16:30.439 --> 01:16:32.560 a pack field if all these folks actually get the 1364 01:16:33.680 --> 01:16:36.880 number of signatures required to run in the race. Anyway. 1365 01:16:36.920 --> 01:16:40.720 A couple of interesting polling articles that were out in 1366 01:16:41.119 --> 01:16:45.960 poll results taken one Atlantis Intel poll, This is shocking 1367 01:16:46.000 --> 01:16:52.439 many Democrats, showing voters aged eighteen to twenty nine showing 1368 01:16:52.600 --> 01:16:56.800 fifty two point seven percent support for President Donald Trump. 1369 01:16:58.960 --> 01:17:01.439 Young men twenty three sent more likely to support Trump 1370 01:17:01.439 --> 01:17:03.239 than young women. And there's quite a few polls out 1371 01:17:03.319 --> 01:17:06.680 lately showing that the most notably college educated women are 1372 01:17:06.760 --> 01:17:11.439 really really really really very very very left and some 1373 01:17:11.640 --> 01:17:14.520 unhinged on the whole matter. Saw another article about the 1374 01:17:14.560 --> 01:17:16.720 state of marriage many women just don't want to get 1375 01:17:16.760 --> 01:17:21.720 married anymore, and that's sad. If you're in that category, 1376 01:17:21.760 --> 01:17:24.680 ask yourself why marriage is wonderful. It can be great. 1377 01:17:24.760 --> 01:17:28.039 It's stabilizing, and for those weekends when you're feeling in 1378 01:17:28.039 --> 01:17:29.960 a bad mood, you've got a great partner there to 1379 01:17:30.000 --> 01:17:32.359 provide you with moral support there for you in the 1380 01:17:32.359 --> 01:17:34.800 good times and the bad times. You can enjoy both together. 1381 01:17:35.960 --> 01:17:39.560 It's certainly a financial benefit to being married. You aren't 1382 01:17:39.600 --> 01:17:42.600 out in the world in this pack of nutcases out 1383 01:17:42.600 --> 01:17:45.319 there trying to find someone with whom to have a relationship, 1384 01:17:45.319 --> 01:17:47.199 and maybe you just choose to spend your time alone, 1385 01:17:47.239 --> 01:17:51.960 which sounds really really depressing. Anyway. Over to Quinnipiac University's 1386 01:17:51.960 --> 01:17:54.880 annual first quarter congressional polling shows that for the first 1387 01:17:54.880 --> 01:17:59.600 time in the poll's history, congressional Democrats are now underwater 1388 01:17:59.760 --> 01:18:02.920 with in their own voters in terms of approval rating. 1389 01:18:03.600 --> 01:18:06.399 Only forty percent of Democrats approve of the job performance 1390 01:18:06.479 --> 01:18:10.239 of congressional Democrats compared to forty nine percent who disapprove. 1391 01:18:10.920 --> 01:18:13.760 What is described by Quinnipiac as a dramatic change from 1392 01:18:13.760 --> 01:18:17.399 this time last year, where seventy five percent of Democrats 1393 01:18:17.399 --> 01:18:20.560 approved of their party compared to just twenty one percent 1394 01:18:20.600 --> 01:18:29.000 of disapproved, so a huge shift. Democrat discontent apparently not 1395 01:18:29.199 --> 01:18:32.039 the center around a desire to pull the party to 1396 01:18:32.159 --> 01:18:35.359 the left or right. The Democrats simply can't seem to 1397 01:18:35.479 --> 01:18:40.239 agree on which direction the party should move. This accorded 1398 01:18:40.279 --> 01:18:43.000 a recent Gallup poll that found forty five percent of 1399 01:18:43.000 --> 01:18:46.640 the Democrats what did the party become more moderate? With 1400 01:18:46.760 --> 01:18:49.399 twenty nine percent feeling it should become more liberal and 1401 01:18:49.560 --> 01:18:52.800 twenty two percent saying it should stay the same. I'm 1402 01:18:52.840 --> 01:18:55.199 not sure what the same is given that the Democrat 1403 01:18:55.239 --> 01:18:57.920 Party is made up of some moderate Democrats in an 1404 01:18:57.960 --> 01:19:01.479 out loud, loudest squeaky whis of the party, being the 1405 01:19:01.960 --> 01:19:04.960 Bernie Sanders and aocs of the party, and they're the 1406 01:19:04.960 --> 01:19:08.399 ones that shifted the party way over to the left. Biden, 1407 01:19:08.439 --> 01:19:10.319 of course, was asleep on the job the whole time. 1408 01:19:10.359 --> 01:19:11.960 He didn't have anything to say about it, and just 1409 01:19:12.000 --> 01:19:14.119 sort of held up in his basement without pushing the 1410 01:19:14.159 --> 01:19:17.880 party in any particular direction and conceding given that he wasn't. 1411 01:19:18.319 --> 01:19:22.199 I suppose even signing executive orders are directing the partying 1412 01:19:22.479 --> 01:19:24.640 or ceding control of the party to whoever was his 1413 01:19:24.720 --> 01:19:27.880 puppet master, which seems to be pretty clearly the far 1414 01:19:28.000 --> 01:19:29.600 left wing of the party. They're the ones that are 1415 01:19:29.600 --> 01:19:31.960 going after Chucky Schumer for keeping the government open when 1416 01:19:31.960 --> 01:19:33.800 it used to be their mantra to keep the government 1417 01:19:33.840 --> 01:19:39.119 open all the time. Number suggests the anger at least 1418 01:19:39.359 --> 01:19:43.840 partly fueled by the Democrats based dissatisfaction with congressional leadership 1419 01:19:44.600 --> 01:19:48.600 and its relatively conciliatory approach to Trump this time around, 1420 01:19:48.640 --> 01:19:51.680 and their inability to stop him. That would be I 1421 01:19:51.680 --> 01:19:55.239 guess capitulation on the continuing resolution. But what would that 1422 01:19:55.279 --> 01:19:58.319 have left them with. There's never any real follow up 1423 01:19:58.319 --> 01:20:00.960 on that. Okay, you're anger with Chucky Schumer for agreeing 1424 01:20:01.000 --> 01:20:03.239 to keep the government open again, a position that was 1425 01:20:03.279 --> 01:20:07.000 widely held and argued and advocated for by Democrats in 1426 01:20:07.039 --> 01:20:08.720 the past when it looked like the government was going 1427 01:20:08.760 --> 01:20:10.720 to shut down. Oh my god, the government's going to 1428 01:20:10.800 --> 01:20:13.600 shut down. We're all going to die. So now the 1429 01:20:13.600 --> 01:20:15.680 far left wing the party is upset that the government 1430 01:20:15.760 --> 01:20:17.840 stayed open. But if you had left the keys of 1431 01:20:17.880 --> 01:20:21.520 the government in control of Donald Trump, right, he could 1432 01:20:21.520 --> 01:20:24.640 have been the one deciding what is necessary in terms 1433 01:20:24.680 --> 01:20:29.520 of government services remaining in effect, well, he might have 1434 01:20:30.760 --> 01:20:33.760 kept open portions of the government that wouldn't have set 1435 01:20:33.840 --> 01:20:40.359 real well with you. And recent polls from CNN and 1436 01:20:40.439 --> 01:20:44.640 Data for Progress. Two separate polls found supermajorities of Democrats 1437 01:20:44.680 --> 01:20:48.439 calling for the party's congressional leadership to do more to 1438 01:20:48.640 --> 01:20:53.399 oppose the president. Now that sounds again like this Trump 1439 01:20:53.479 --> 01:20:59.640 derangement syndrome. The left has done nothing but oppose Donald Trump. 1440 01:20:59.720 --> 01:21:03.079 Of course, during his first term, even while he was 1441 01:21:03.119 --> 01:21:06.640 an elected president, regularly citing Donald Trump as the reason 1442 01:21:06.760 --> 01:21:10.119 for bad things happening, and of course, now that he's 1443 01:21:10.119 --> 01:21:13.079 been re elected president, in the face of this constant, 1444 01:21:13.439 --> 01:21:19.960 constant name calling, Nazi, sexist, racist, homophote, Oh my god, 1445 01:21:20.000 --> 01:21:22.560 you know, I just it was just a never ending 1446 01:21:22.680 --> 01:21:26.479 drumbeat of just name calling against Donald Trump, which didn't 1447 01:21:26.479 --> 01:21:28.920 seem to have a very good reaction in terms of 1448 01:21:28.920 --> 01:21:31.439 how the voters ended up voting in the presidential election 1449 01:21:31.560 --> 01:21:36.199 last November. It didn't work as a practice just outright 1450 01:21:36.479 --> 01:21:39.439 saying no to literally everything Donald Trump does. Is that 1451 01:21:39.479 --> 01:21:43.239 a strategy? Okay, say no to Trump, but what is 1452 01:21:43.279 --> 01:21:48.079 your alternative? Ignoring the problems that have been discovered, like, 1453 01:21:48.079 --> 01:21:52.159 for example, the work that Doge has done, ignoring the 1454 01:21:52.800 --> 01:21:56.560 eminent train wreck that's coming faster and faster with Social Security, 1455 01:21:57.239 --> 01:22:02.319 ignoring the thes of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands 1456 01:22:02.359 --> 01:22:04.800 of people who are dead on the Social Security roles. 1457 01:22:04.840 --> 01:22:09.439 Why would any party be against cleaning up those voter rolls, unless, 1458 01:22:09.479 --> 01:22:11.960 of course, like Chicago, if I mentioned in a million times, 1459 01:22:12.000 --> 01:22:14.600 you know Chicago, everybody knows that the politicians are corrupt, 1460 01:22:14.600 --> 01:22:17.119 but because they're all Democrats up there, it's their corruption, 1461 01:22:17.520 --> 01:22:21.600 so they don't mind it. I don't know that that's a 1462 01:22:21.640 --> 01:22:25.159 platform for success with the American people. I think we're 1463 01:22:25.199 --> 01:22:28.079 more and more aware of what is going on. We're 1464 01:22:28.119 --> 01:22:30.720 aware of the fraud, wasted abuse. We have the Internet now, 1465 01:22:30.760 --> 01:22:32.840 we don't have to rely on CNN to provide us 1466 01:22:32.840 --> 01:22:35.760 with accurate information, and quite often they didn't. They don't 1467 01:22:35.800 --> 01:22:38.079 have to report on this type of fraud, waste, and abuse, 1468 01:22:38.119 --> 01:22:41.720 and they didn't. You have alternative forms of media now, 1469 01:22:41.760 --> 01:22:45.479 you have access to well transparency, most notably under the 1470 01:22:45.520 --> 01:22:50.399 Trump administration, most notably through Department of Governmental Efficiency. Elon 1471 01:22:50.479 --> 01:22:52.680 Musk is now a Nazi and people are blowing up 1472 01:22:52.680 --> 01:22:55.840 his cars and shooting them and destroying dealerships because he's 1473 01:22:55.880 --> 01:22:59.760 shedding sunlight of disinfectant on what has been going on 1474 01:22:59.800 --> 01:23:03.119 with your hard earned tax dollars. And again, this is 1475 01:23:03.159 --> 01:23:07.880 your money. You'll worked for it, they took it out 1476 01:23:07.920 --> 01:23:11.039 of your paycheck and you finally find out what it's 1477 01:23:11.079 --> 01:23:13.319 being spent on, and you're probably, you know, in the 1478 01:23:13.399 --> 01:23:16.039 right category if you're staring in disbelief that are you 1479 01:23:16.159 --> 01:23:20.239 kidding me? I worked for them to spend the money 1480 01:23:20.319 --> 01:23:25.319 on that. Of course, it's going to resonate with American people, 1481 01:23:25.960 --> 01:23:28.239 and I think young people are have caught onto the 1482 01:23:28.239 --> 01:23:30.359 reality that this is pretty much a house of cards 1483 01:23:30.359 --> 01:23:33.239 that we've been working with for a long time. So 1484 01:23:34.279 --> 01:23:38.560 you know, I would assert that the Democrats are going 1485 01:23:38.600 --> 01:23:40.720 to have to come up with some strategy more than 1486 01:23:40.840 --> 01:23:48.359 just resist Trump. I thought, anyway, we'll see what a 1487 01:23:48.439 --> 01:23:50.159 vice mayor former vice mayor of the city, since Saint 1488 01:23:50.239 --> 01:23:52.479 Christopher Smithman has to say, not sure what is on 1489 01:23:52.600 --> 01:23:55.920 his mind, but I always find it interesting his commentary 1490 01:23:56.039 --> 01:24:01.279 always insightful and often entertaining. So Christopher will be up next. 1491 01:24:01.319 --> 01:24:03.079 And first though, I get to mention, and I say 1492 01:24:03.239 --> 01:24:05.359 get to because I'm honored to be able to refer 1493 01:24:05.479 --> 01:24:07.840 you to my friends at Bud Herbert Motors. You know, 1494 01:24:07.840 --> 01:24:10.399 I had such a terrible box store experience, and thank you, 1495 01:24:10.800 --> 01:24:13.800 thank you to Jim Keefer, my friend for Saint Brian 1496 01:24:13.960 --> 01:24:16.600 just called bout Herbert Motors I did. I was treated 1497 01:24:16.640 --> 01:24:19.119 wonderfully and you will be too. This is a Herbert 1498 01:24:19.159 --> 01:24:21.119 family member you'll be working with when you get in 1499 01:24:21.199 --> 01:24:24.000 touch with them. They're proud of the more than seventy 1500 01:24:24.000 --> 01:24:25.920 five years they've been in business. They're proud of their 1501 01:24:25.960 --> 01:24:28.039 family tradition. They're proud of the products that they sell 1502 01:24:28.039 --> 01:24:30.680 because they only sell the world class brands like John Deere, 1503 01:24:31.359 --> 01:24:35.000 x Mart and Steel and Haunted Power Equipment. They're proud 1504 01:24:35.000 --> 01:24:37.079 that they will deliver that product to your door and 1505 01:24:37.239 --> 01:24:39.399 service whatever it is they're delivering to you. They take 1506 01:24:39.439 --> 01:24:41.319 care of it all. And they are so knowledgeable about 1507 01:24:41.319 --> 01:24:45.039 what they sell or you know, you can't say that 1508 01:24:45.079 --> 01:24:48.279 with a box store employee. Not only are they not 1509 01:24:48.279 --> 01:24:50.640 selling the best brands, they don't know as nearly as 1510 01:24:50.680 --> 01:24:53.960 much as the Herbert family does, and they're not going 1511 01:24:54.000 --> 01:24:55.399 to know how to steer you in the right direction 1512 01:24:55.560 --> 01:24:57.880 as they did with me. The last Pushmar I'll ever 1513 01:24:57.920 --> 01:25:00.159 have to buy, said the Herbert family. I love when 1514 01:25:00.199 --> 01:25:02.960 I heard that. That's great. That's the quality I bought 1515 01:25:03.079 --> 01:25:05.279 and you will too.

I always look 1541 01:26:23.560 --> 01:26:25.479 forward to this time because you get to hear from 1542 01:26:25.520 --> 01:26:28.319 the former life mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smithman, 1543 01:26:29.079 --> 01:26:32.319 and the smither event. Welcome back, Christopher Smithvan God bless you, 1544 01:26:32.399 --> 01:26:34.680 sir for being on the program. 1545 01:26:35.000 --> 01:26:36.520 Oh God bless you. 1546 01:26:36.640 --> 01:26:40.039 Brian Thomas and I've been listening today. We've got a 1547 01:26:40.079 --> 01:26:43.000 lot going on. Every week I say that to you, 1548 01:26:43.079 --> 01:26:44.479 and it's so true. 1549 01:26:44.760 --> 01:26:46.119 Yeah, no, from week to week. 1550 01:26:47.479 --> 01:26:49.600 You know, last week I touched on some things that 1551 01:26:49.680 --> 01:26:53.800 actually happened. But where I want to start off is 1552 01:26:54.079 --> 01:26:58.960 that famous quote from Einstein that says insanity is doing 1553 01:26:59.000 --> 01:27:03.720 the same thing over and over and expecting different results. 1554 01:27:03.720 --> 01:27:09.039 In the context of President Trump signing an executive order 1555 01:27:10.079 --> 01:27:17.079 shutting down the Department of Education. Now, look, we have 1556 01:27:17.560 --> 01:27:22.199 major cities across the United States of America where the 1557 01:27:22.319 --> 01:27:28.800 public school systems are in serious trouble, where you have 1558 01:27:29.039 --> 01:27:37.079 kids like Cincinnati, approximately thirty seven thousand kids, seventy percent 1559 01:27:37.159 --> 01:27:41.079 of them, I'm guessing is an estimate, are African American, 1560 01:27:42.199 --> 01:27:45.680 and you have so many schools around us that are failing. 1561 01:27:46.399 --> 01:27:50.479 And that is true across the United States of America, 1562 01:27:50.720 --> 01:27:53.840 meaning our American children. And it doesn't matter whether they're 1563 01:27:53.880 --> 01:28:00.399 black or white, are Indian, are Italian, they are American children. 1564 01:28:01.239 --> 01:28:05.000 The best way out of poverty into a middle class 1565 01:28:05.079 --> 01:28:09.079 is getting a great education. So it's a great place 1566 01:28:09.159 --> 01:28:12.039 to start. If the federal government is saying, listen, the 1567 01:28:12.079 --> 01:28:15.199 Department of Education is not getting it done. They're not 1568 01:28:15.439 --> 01:28:21.399 getting it done. Einstein's quote here applied, and sanity is 1569 01:28:21.479 --> 01:28:27.000 doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. 1570 01:28:27.000 --> 01:28:32.520 For Thomas, we must change how our children are educated, 1571 01:28:33.079 --> 01:28:37.600 empowering our parents to make choices for their families what 1572 01:28:37.800 --> 01:28:40.760 is in the best interest for them and their child. 1573 01:28:41.479 --> 01:28:45.159 And every school board member who's listening here, if you're 1574 01:28:45.279 --> 01:28:50.159 not getting it done, move out of the way. Teachers, 1575 01:28:50.439 --> 01:28:55.079 if you're not getting it done, move out of the way. 1576 01:28:55.319 --> 01:28:58.520 We have to do well here because it's only the 1577 01:28:58.560 --> 01:29:02.680 future of America. Our children must be able to do math, 1578 01:29:03.479 --> 01:29:08.880 English and reading history. They've got to understand where they 1579 01:29:08.960 --> 01:29:11.079 are and why they live in this country, and be 1580 01:29:11.159 --> 01:29:14.680 able to count and read when they're fifteen and twenty 1581 01:29:14.760 --> 01:29:18.079 years old. This is a major problem. I am glad 1582 01:29:18.159 --> 01:29:21.520 the President is honing in on it, and anybody who's 1583 01:29:21.560 --> 01:29:25.479 a teacher or a union person, if you don't have 1584 01:29:25.560 --> 01:29:30.520 an answer or a solution, please move out of the way. 1585 01:29:30.600 --> 01:29:34.159 Brian Thomas. Our children deserve to get a good education. 1586 01:29:34.600 --> 01:29:38.640 I am a product of public education. So anybody listening 1587 01:29:38.640 --> 01:29:42.119 to this conversation says, oh, Smitherman went to private schools. No, 1588 01:29:42.640 --> 01:29:47.119 I am a product of a public education. Things have 1589 01:29:47.319 --> 01:29:51.560 changed so dramatically since I graduated from high school, and 1590 01:29:51.640 --> 01:29:53.880 most people listening to me who went to a public 1591 01:29:54.520 --> 01:29:57.479 a public school, they would say the same Brian Thomas. 1592 01:29:57.560 --> 01:30:00.600 Well, I went to public schools my whole life. University 1593 01:30:00.600 --> 01:30:03.760 of Cincinnati, no Ivy League school, that one for two degrees. 1594 01:30:03.760 --> 01:30:05.960 It all worked out just fine for me. But I 1595 01:30:05.960 --> 01:30:08.359 think the reason I was able to succeed is because 1596 01:30:08.399 --> 01:30:13.760 I was taught a classic education phonics, you know, traditional 1597 01:30:14.079 --> 01:30:19.159 education in mathematics. It worked. It was a proven success story, 1598 01:30:19.199 --> 01:30:21.119 and they went and they changed all that. Now they 1599 01:30:21.239 --> 01:30:23.760 focused so much time on things that have nothing to 1600 01:30:23.800 --> 01:30:25.880 do with reading and writing and more to do with 1601 01:30:25.920 --> 01:30:29.079 indoctrinating our students. Let's get away from that and get 1602 01:30:29.079 --> 01:30:32.560 back to some core classical education because it has proven 1603 01:30:33.079 --> 01:30:36.640 the right recipe for success, the key to all education. 1604 01:30:36.800 --> 01:30:40.239 Christal's reading. You have to you have to read to 1605 01:30:40.359 --> 01:30:41.159 learn anything. 1606 01:30:43.079 --> 01:30:48.439 Absolutely, And the discipline teachers who are listening to this segment, 1607 01:30:49.520 --> 01:30:54.800 I love teachers. My mom is a retired teacher. My wife, 1608 01:30:54.880 --> 01:30:59.520 my late wife, was a Cincinnati public teacher. Let me 1609 01:30:59.600 --> 01:31:03.760 tell you. She would come home and talk about discipline 1610 01:31:03.800 --> 01:31:08.640 issues in her classroom. I can't teach because the kids 1611 01:31:08.720 --> 01:31:12.359 are so disruptive, Christopher. This is what she would say 1612 01:31:12.399 --> 01:31:15.079 to me. I've got kids in my class who are 1613 01:31:15.119 --> 01:31:20.680 just talking, running around, throwing books, disruptive, hitting each other, 1614 01:31:20.960 --> 01:31:25.239 and I can't get the administration to hold these kids accountable. 1615 01:31:25.279 --> 01:31:28.159 I can lend them to the principal's office a hundred times, 1616 01:31:28.359 --> 01:31:31.880 but they keep coming back to my classroom. Meaning we're 1617 01:31:31.920 --> 01:31:34.600 going to have to make sure that students, when they're 1618 01:31:34.680 --> 01:31:39.039 in the school understand the teachers. The administrators. There are 1619 01:31:39.079 --> 01:31:43.000 the Boston and they need boards of education that will 1620 01:31:43.079 --> 01:31:46.800 back them up. This is a major problem for any 1621 01:31:46.840 --> 01:31:50.439 teacher that is teaching in a public school system, discipline 1622 01:31:50.479 --> 01:31:53.640 issues with the kids. That's because what's happening at home 1623 01:31:54.199 --> 01:31:57.560 is now pouring out into the school.

There's a wreck on seven forty seven at 1673 01:34:15.880 --> 01:34:18.319 Port Union Chuck Ingram on fifty five KR. 1674 01:34:18.439 --> 01:34:19.800 See the talk station. 1675 01:34:21.920 --> 01:34:23.960 Seven thirty one at fifty five cars de talk station 1676 01:34:24.000 --> 01:34:26.000 A very happy Monday too, and join our conversation with 1677 01:34:26.039 --> 01:34:28.720 Christopher smythm and observations about the education system. And you 1678 01:34:28.800 --> 01:34:31.600 go back to your late wife and God rest her 1679 01:34:31.640 --> 01:34:34.479 soul and having deal having to deal with disciplinary problems 1680 01:34:34.479 --> 01:34:37.119 in school. And I was thinking about that and I 1681 01:34:37.960 --> 01:34:42.520 cannot recall a single instance of something like that happening 1682 01:34:42.560 --> 01:34:44.520 back when I was in school, Christopher again, I went 1683 01:34:44.560 --> 01:34:48.239 to you know, public schools my whole life. But I 1684 01:34:48.399 --> 01:34:52.159 know what would have happened to me had I engaged 1685 01:34:52.239 --> 01:34:54.399 in that type of behavior. Not only would I been 1686 01:34:54.439 --> 01:34:59.039 met with disciplinary action at school, I'd have been met 1687 01:34:59.079 --> 01:35:03.479 with disciplinary actions when I got home. My father wouldn't 1688 01:35:03.479 --> 01:35:06.600 have abided anything like that, nor my mom. 1689 01:35:08.399 --> 01:35:11.840 You know, it's clearly a major problem what's happening at home. 1690 01:35:12.039 --> 01:35:14.479 And I had the same household. There's no way my 1691 01:35:15.079 --> 01:35:18.640 father or mother my again, my mother was a school teacher, 1692 01:35:18.720 --> 01:35:21.880 my father was a scientist, but there was no way 1693 01:35:22.279 --> 01:35:26.399 that they would ever side with me ever against the teacher. 1694 01:35:26.760 --> 01:35:28.840 Matter of fact, they would say, I don't even care. 1695 01:35:29.359 --> 01:35:32.720 Maybe the teacher is wrong, you're wrong, You're always wrong. 1696 01:35:33.159 --> 01:35:36.399 If a teacher is calling my house, doctor Smithland was 1697 01:35:36.439 --> 01:35:38.359 going to take care of business. 1698 01:35:38.560 --> 01:35:38.720 Yep. 1699 01:35:38.840 --> 01:35:41.039 And that's why the sixth of us have the sense 1700 01:35:41.079 --> 01:35:43.920 that we have. We appreciate my father and my mother 1701 01:35:44.159 --> 01:35:47.279 so much, their long marriage, the love that they have 1702 01:35:47.439 --> 01:35:50.680 for each other, but most importantly, the love that we 1703 01:35:50.800 --> 01:35:53.960 now fully understanding half of us like, there is no 1704 01:35:54.039 --> 01:35:56.199 way we could walk in and this wasn't even a 1705 01:35:56.239 --> 01:35:58.239 thing when I was in school, But there was no 1706 01:35:58.279 --> 01:36:00.560 way we could walk in with our pants hanging down 1707 01:36:00.600 --> 01:36:02.760 off our butts. That's just not going to happen, you 1708 01:36:02.760 --> 01:36:05.000 know what I mean. Or we're going to be disrespectful 1709 01:36:05.279 --> 01:36:08.680 to my mother or my grandmother or tell them that 1710 01:36:08.720 --> 01:36:12.039 I'm not gonna do something my wife was sharing with 1711 01:36:12.199 --> 01:36:16.479 me is listen, Christopher. The values of our country are 1712 01:36:16.520 --> 01:36:20.359 really dropping dramatically. What I'm seeing in these classrooms is 1713 01:36:20.399 --> 01:36:23.960 a result of a breakdown in the family, where parents 1714 01:36:24.399 --> 01:36:27.359 right are losing control of their kids. And we have 1715 01:36:27.479 --> 01:36:30.000 school boards across the United States of America, and we've 1716 01:36:30.039 --> 01:36:34.560 talked about this, Brian Thomas, who are continuing to castrate families, 1717 01:36:34.640 --> 01:36:37.520 castrate parents by telling them, I'm not going to tell 1718 01:36:37.560 --> 01:36:39.800 you what's going on with your kids. Your kid can 1719 01:36:39.840 --> 01:36:41.560 have a sex change and I'm not going to tell 1720 01:36:41.600 --> 01:36:43.800 you that they're going to have a sex change, or 1721 01:36:44.079 --> 01:36:47.279 my kid is dying, or he's depressed, or he's thinking 1722 01:36:47.279 --> 01:36:50.000 about committing suicide. I'm not going to tell you about 1723 01:36:50.000 --> 01:36:53.840 those kinds of things. We must have school systems that 1724 01:36:54.039 --> 01:37:00.399 empower parents, empower teachers, empower administrators to get to control 1725 01:37:00.439 --> 01:37:03.680 of these schools, like the movie Lean on Me. If 1726 01:37:03.720 --> 01:37:07.760 we don't do this, our country is going to fail 1727 01:37:07.840 --> 01:37:11.960 because other countries are surpassing us in that and in science, 1728 01:37:12.199 --> 01:37:14.880 and in reading and in English. We have people that 1729 01:37:14.920 --> 01:37:18.279 are coming here from other countries who have mastered the 1730 01:37:18.359 --> 01:37:22.880 English language better know the history of our country better 1731 01:37:22.960 --> 01:37:26.359 as they're scorn in as citizens than American citizens that 1732 01:37:26.399 --> 01:37:29.359 are born here. That's a problem, and so we've got 1733 01:37:29.359 --> 01:37:31.279 to turn back the clock. I want to see the 1734 01:37:31.439 --> 01:37:33.439 I want to see the anthem, the Pledge of Legiance 1735 01:37:33.560 --> 01:37:36.439 back in the schools. I want to have schools talking 1736 01:37:36.479 --> 01:37:39.640 about God and faith. I want all of it because 1737 01:37:39.640 --> 01:37:42.960 it's what made me who I am today. Brian Thomas, well, 1738 01:37:43.079 --> 01:37:43.840 so I appreciate it. 1739 01:37:43.880 --> 01:37:43.960 No. 1740 01:37:44.000 --> 01:37:45.920 I couldn't get away with any of that stuff with money. 1741 01:37:46.159 --> 01:37:49.119 No, not a chance. And I'm not sure if it's 1742 01:37:49.119 --> 01:37:52.359 so much. Parents are losing control of their children, and 1743 01:37:52.399 --> 01:37:54.960 they are to the extent schools aren't communicating directly with 1744 01:37:55.000 --> 01:37:58.119 parents about these very important issues you mentioned, but more 1745 01:37:58.159 --> 01:38:02.720 so relinquishing control, allowing their kids, you know, have as 1746 01:38:02.800 --> 01:38:05.119 much access to any kind of social media they want, 1747 01:38:05.119 --> 01:38:07.479 which is a terrible influence on them. When you think 1748 01:38:07.479 --> 01:38:10.039 of all the messages that come across on social media, 1749 01:38:10.199 --> 01:38:13.199 parents are not real time monitoring that, and yet they 1750 01:38:13.199 --> 01:38:16.279 provide that with access to the entire world of information, 1751 01:38:16.399 --> 01:38:21.079 including pornography, dangerous political messages, anti religious messages. I mean, 1752 01:38:21.199 --> 01:38:24.920 the list just is endless. But letting them have access 1753 01:38:25.000 --> 01:38:27.840 to that, Oh, it's okay, Johnny's parked in the corner. 1754 01:38:27.880 --> 01:38:30.640 I know he's safe from predators outside. He's there on 1755 01:38:30.720 --> 01:38:33.319 the couch, But what's he doing? I mean, are you 1756 01:38:33.399 --> 01:38:36.039 are you? Are you staying connected with the access and 1757 01:38:36.079 --> 01:38:38.640 the information that child is mind is being polluted with? 1758 01:38:39.039 --> 01:38:41.399 Or are you just letting sit idly by and thinking 1759 01:38:41.439 --> 01:38:44.279 it's okay while you go around your business, or sit 1760 01:38:44.359 --> 01:38:47.000 and binge on Netflix or whatever. I think it's more 1761 01:38:47.039 --> 01:38:51.520 parents relinquishing control or quite simply just not giving a 1762 01:38:51.560 --> 01:38:53.560 wit about what's happening to their children. 1763 01:38:54.479 --> 01:38:57.119 First, I agree with you, and I will tell you, 1764 01:38:57.159 --> 01:39:01.359 in hopefully thirty seconds, this story about my late wife, Pam, 1765 01:39:01.439 --> 01:39:06.319 who was a very strong disciplinarian in hospice. In hospice 1766 01:39:06.319 --> 01:39:10.359 care to your listening audience, my son, my youngest son, 1767 01:39:10.479 --> 01:39:13.479 came into the bedroom and said, Mom and dad, I 1768 01:39:13.520 --> 01:39:17.680 want to live a mediocre life. My wife cried a 1769 01:39:17.760 --> 01:39:20.199 little bit and then got herself together and said, call 1770 01:39:20.279 --> 01:39:23.000 a recruiter. I want a recruiter in here as soon 1771 01:39:23.039 --> 01:39:27.319 as possible. And a recruiter came and began to talk 1772 01:39:27.520 --> 01:39:30.720 to my son, and my wife told him to her 1773 01:39:30.840 --> 01:39:33.039 right to his face, you're not going to use my 1774 01:39:33.279 --> 01:39:36.960 death as an excuse to live a mediocre life. You're 1775 01:39:37.000 --> 01:39:40.079 going in the military. Guess what. She died in January. 1776 01:39:40.119 --> 01:39:44.359 He graduated in May from a Cincinnati public school. In August, 1777 01:39:44.359 --> 01:39:47.399 he was off to the military. Four years. He's back, 1778 01:39:47.960 --> 01:39:51.960 he's back in Cincinnati, He's not leading a mediocre life, 1779 01:39:52.119 --> 01:39:55.039 and now he wants to be a neurosurgeon. He started 1780 01:39:55.039 --> 01:39:58.319 taking classes over at the University of Cincinnati, and he's 1781 01:39:58.359 --> 01:40:01.079 doing it on the back of being in in the guard. 1782 01:40:01.520 --> 01:40:03.880 My point to you is so many of our kids, 1783 01:40:04.159 --> 01:40:09.079 when given choices, I hear your guest, vocational education. Every 1784 01:40:09.159 --> 01:40:13.039 kid isn't going to college. Going into the military change 1785 01:40:13.159 --> 01:40:16.600 my son's life, the direction of his life. Any parent 1786 01:40:16.640 --> 01:40:19.640 out here, I tell you, I was scared as out 1787 01:40:19.680 --> 01:40:21.920 of my mind when my baby son was saying he 1788 01:40:22.000 --> 01:40:24.600 was going off in that van to do the military 1789 01:40:24.600 --> 01:40:29.640 and basic training. But that process saves his life. And 1790 01:40:29.680 --> 01:40:31.960 so anybody out there who has a kid, if they're 1791 01:40:32.000 --> 01:40:34.920 listening to us and they're having problems he's seventeen or 1792 01:40:34.960 --> 01:40:38.399 she's seventeen years old, looked at the military as a 1793 01:40:38.439 --> 01:40:42.640 possible option of vocation as a possible option for your child, 1794 01:40:42.920 --> 01:40:47.319 because college education and debt is not always the best 1795 01:40:47.359 --> 01:40:48.159 option for. 1796 01:40:48.199 --> 01:40:50.520 Every time, no doubt about it. We'll bring Christopher back 1797 01:40:50.520 --> 01:40:52.560 for a few more closing words this morning for the 1798 01:40:52.600 --> 01:40:54.560 Smith event at seven thirty seven, Right now forty five 1799 01:40:54.600 --> 01:40:56.840 casit de talk station, and I got a great person 1800 01:40:56.880 --> 01:41:00.279 to talk to about mortgages, anything related to mortgage you 1801 01:41:00.279 --> 01:41:03.279 want to deal with Suzette Low's camp with Cross Country Mortgage. 1802 01:41:03.439 --> 01:41:06.479 She knows everything there is to know about mortgages and 1803 01:41:06.520 --> 01:41:08.520 all the related things that go along with it.

Further thoughts on your mind today, Christopher. 1830 01:42:24.000 --> 01:42:26.760 Oh Yes, let me first say, brother, let me give 1831 01:42:26.800 --> 01:42:30.079 an honorable beachhit to George Foreman who passed away. Yeah, 1832 01:42:30.199 --> 01:42:35.560 seventy six, you know, Hall of Famer, gold medalist, Olympic champion, 1833 01:42:35.680 --> 01:42:39.520 two time heavyweight champion, seventy six wins, five loss at 1834 01:42:39.600 --> 01:42:43.479 eighty eight knockouts, and worked approximately three hundred million dollars 1835 01:42:43.600 --> 01:42:47.119 and twelve children. I just thought he was a classy guy, 1836 01:42:48.199 --> 01:42:50.680 you know, when he spoke. You know, he was that 1837 01:42:50.840 --> 01:42:54.560 guy that represented boxing from when I would watch boxing, 1838 01:42:54.640 --> 01:42:58.279 when boxing was boxing, and I just I just had 1839 01:42:58.319 --> 01:43:01.159 a I admired him as a five. And people will say, well, 1840 01:43:01.159 --> 01:43:04.000 why did he call all of his boys George? I think, 1841 01:43:04.079 --> 01:43:06.359 and you know, he never said this. I think he 1842 01:43:06.560 --> 01:43:09.760 understood that his name was very powerful and he didn't 1843 01:43:09.840 --> 01:43:12.000 want to slight any of his boys, so he called 1844 01:43:12.079 --> 01:43:15.319 them all George. Everybody has the same name, everybody has 1845 01:43:15.399 --> 01:43:17.680 the same kind of kind of right. You can walk 1846 01:43:17.720 --> 01:43:19.520 in and say, my name is George Foreman. Now I 1847 01:43:19.600 --> 01:43:22.159 could be wrong about that. I don't know, but I 1848 01:43:22.239 --> 01:43:24.479 think that he named all his sons that that way 1849 01:43:24.600 --> 01:43:26.199 because of that. But I just started he was a 1850 01:43:26.279 --> 01:43:31.159 class actor. The George Foreman skillet that he had was 1851 01:43:31.520 --> 01:43:32.800 a was a big success. 1852 01:43:33.279 --> 01:43:33.399 You know. 1853 01:43:33.560 --> 01:43:37.680 When he had that final knockout Mike, my dad was 1854 01:43:38.159 --> 01:43:41.520 was jumping around my kitchen throwing his hands. I said, Dad, 1855 01:43:42.199 --> 01:43:44.600 George Forman is going to get some old dude killed today. 1856 01:43:44.640 --> 01:43:47.479 Because you all think anybody can knock anybody out. But 1857 01:43:47.560 --> 01:43:50.279 in that last month, that guy did not understand that 1858 01:43:50.359 --> 01:43:54.000 George Foreman still, you know, had had hands of steel 1859 01:43:54.520 --> 01:43:56.319 and he hit him right on the chin and he 1860 01:43:56.439 --> 01:43:59.960 was out. I mean, so, anyway, my salute to George Forema, 1861 01:44:00.079 --> 01:44:02.439 a seventy six years old, great life. 1862 01:44:03.279 --> 01:44:05.840 Yeah, hell of a boxer. He Managine getting punched by 1863 01:44:05.920 --> 01:44:07.960 that guy. I'd like to be hit by a truck. 1864 01:44:08.920 --> 01:44:13.479 I mean, just the truck, No, sir, No, sir. 1865 01:44:13.640 --> 01:44:16.039 He was six four, I don't know how wet, his 1866 01:44:16.119 --> 01:44:17.760 weight was, every bit of. 1867 01:44:19.359 --> 01:44:19.680 A lot. 1868 01:44:20.119 --> 01:44:24.319 I'm not messing with him at all, even at seventy six. 1869 01:44:24.520 --> 01:44:27.039 I wouldn't be messing with the George Foreman. But what 1870 01:44:27.119 --> 01:44:29.640 I will say to you, what I will say with 1871 01:44:29.760 --> 01:44:34.399 you in the end here is that Elon Musk deserves 1872 01:44:34.960 --> 01:44:39.199 my gratitude and all Americans gratitude of saving those two 1873 01:44:39.279 --> 01:44:42.960 astronauts last week. It was a remarkable thing, to see 1874 01:44:43.039 --> 01:44:47.560 the landing, to see the dolphins. I salute him his 1875 01:44:47.720 --> 01:44:50.760 company and all of the technology and all of the 1876 01:44:51.119 --> 01:44:55.279 men and women at NASA and the scientists, the mathematicians. 1877 01:44:55.399 --> 01:44:58.680 It was an incredible feat. He makes it look easy, 1878 01:44:58.840 --> 01:45:02.720 his team makes it look and this is some of 1879 01:45:02.800 --> 01:45:08.079 the greatest technology and coming from one company in the 1880 01:45:08.359 --> 01:45:12.359 entire world. I don't understand why MSNBC didn't show it. 1881 01:45:13.239 --> 01:45:16.760 It blows me away that CNN barely spoke about it. 1882 01:45:17.359 --> 01:45:20.560 But that's the world we're living in that we can't 1883 01:45:20.600 --> 01:45:23.840 even tell the truth Brian Thomas about what is happening 1884 01:45:24.039 --> 01:45:28.399 good around us. You can disagree with somebody on some issue, 1885 01:45:28.640 --> 01:45:32.359 but still show where America is showing greatness. That was 1886 01:45:32.560 --> 01:45:35.920 just a magnificent feat. And by the way, just on 1887 01:45:36.000 --> 01:45:39.399 a political note to all those who are listening, former 1888 01:45:39.560 --> 01:45:44.159 President Biden left them there for nine months right period. 1889 01:45:44.640 --> 01:45:47.239 So the reality of people saying they're angry, maybe it's 1890 01:45:47.279 --> 01:45:50.760 an embarrassing thing of why MSNBC wouldn't show it. But 1891 01:45:50.880 --> 01:45:53.520 if that was my wife, if that was my auntie, 1892 01:45:54.000 --> 01:45:56.920 if that was my grandmother, I would want somebody to 1893 01:45:57.039 --> 01:45:59.920 save her from the space station. And it was eli 1894 01:46:00.800 --> 01:46:04.039 NASA and the United States of America and the President 1895 01:46:04.399 --> 01:46:06.680 because he said go get him and bring him home. 1896 01:46:06.880 --> 01:46:08.760 Yeah, and Boeing failed in its effort to do it. 1897 01:46:08.920 --> 01:46:12.359 So you know, SpaceX outdid Boeing, which I think speaks 1898 01:46:12.479 --> 01:46:15.840 volumes in and of itself. And you know, somewhere out there, Christopher, 1899 01:46:15.880 --> 01:46:17.439 and I hate to say this out loud because it 1900 01:46:17.560 --> 01:46:20.319 is so depressing and disgusting to think about it. I'm 1901 01:46:20.359 --> 01:46:23.279 sure there was some of these real vile, anti Elon 1902 01:46:23.479 --> 01:46:25.720 Musk people out there that were probably hoping that that 1903 01:46:25.880 --> 01:46:27.439 mission to rescue them failed. 1904 01:46:30.039 --> 01:46:32.039 You know, it's so sad to say out loud, but 1905 01:46:32.119 --> 01:46:35.920 you're you're absolutely right when you see the former candidate 1906 01:46:36.239 --> 01:46:39.560 for vice president saying that he wants his stock to 1907 01:46:39.720 --> 01:46:44.359 go down, yeah, and and champion that. And the reality 1908 01:46:44.399 --> 01:46:46.960 of it is this. Look, I very rarely talk about 1909 01:46:47.000 --> 01:46:49.199 what I do for a living as a financial planner, 1910 01:46:49.640 --> 01:46:52.159 but look, markets go up and down. 1911 01:46:52.279 --> 01:46:53.359 This is just a part of it. 1912 01:46:54.079 --> 01:46:58.199 There's there's nothing unusual going on right now with what 1913 01:46:58.359 --> 01:47:02.479 we would call correction seen percent. It's what markets do 1914 01:47:02.680 --> 01:47:06.039 is the efficienc the efficiency of the market. So this 1915 01:47:06.279 --> 01:47:08.520 notion that you're like saying, this is where the stock 1916 01:47:08.640 --> 01:47:12.800 kids is insane on his part. You never were always 1917 01:47:12.920 --> 01:47:16.359 rooting I was rooting for Biden, rooting for Bush, rooting 1918 01:47:16.439 --> 01:47:18.800 for Obama. I'm rooting for the United States of America. 1919 01:47:18.840 --> 01:47:21.880 I'm always rooting for the United States of America, not 1920 01:47:22.000 --> 01:47:24.680 against it. And I just suggest that you're listening, audience, 1921 01:47:24.680 --> 01:47:27.640 and I know they are. Let's keep rooting for America. 1922 01:47:27.760 --> 01:47:32.439 We've got Russia and Ukraine, We've got Israel and Gaza, right, 1923 01:47:32.600 --> 01:47:35.319 We've got parifs, We've got country that has been ripping 1924 01:47:35.439 --> 01:47:38.680 us off. We've got to give this president the room 1925 01:47:38.880 --> 01:47:41.800 and the ability to win. That's what we have to 1926 01:47:41.880 --> 01:47:44.079 do right now. This notion that we're going to use 1927 01:47:44.159 --> 01:47:47.560 the judicial system to try to lock up him and 1928 01:47:47.760 --> 01:47:50.279 keep him locked up for the next four years is 1929 01:47:50.439 --> 01:47:56.199 completely outrageous and insane. A circuit federal court judge does 1930 01:47:56.439 --> 01:48:01.119 not have the power to hamper the executive arm of 1931 01:48:01.199 --> 01:48:04.159 the United States of America. And if I were the 1932 01:48:04.199 --> 01:48:06.439 president of the United States, I would not have turned 1933 01:48:06.680 --> 01:48:09.960 those planes around that had gang members in them and 1934 01:48:10.119 --> 01:48:12.520 bring them back to the United States of America. Is 1935 01:48:12.600 --> 01:48:13.600 this just crazy? 1936 01:48:15.680 --> 01:48:17.760 Many people will say that he is or he's just 1937 01:48:17.880 --> 01:48:20.680 a you know, political operative, but you know he does 1938 01:48:20.760 --> 01:48:23.960 have judicial powers and that's why we have courts of 1939 01:48:24.000 --> 01:48:27.239 appeals and hopefully at some juncture the Supreme Court will 1940 01:48:27.239 --> 01:48:29.079 have a say on it and say things in the 1941 01:48:29.159 --> 01:48:31.800 right direction that will benefit our country. Again, going back 1942 01:48:31.800 --> 01:48:34.880 to your fundamental point, Christopher Smithman, God bless you, sir. 1943 01:48:34.920 --> 01:48:36.920 I love when you spend time with my listeners, and right. 1944 01:48:38.079 --> 01:48:42.640 Thank you, and please people follow me at vote Smitherman 1945 01:48:43.159 --> 01:48:43.840 on X. 1946 01:48:44.319 --> 01:48:47.800 Thank you sir, we'll talk next week.

The phone lines are open. Got a minute 2001 01:51:23.119 --> 01:51:25.000 here if someone wants to call on maybe comment, perhaps 2002 01:51:25.039 --> 01:51:27.159 on something. Christopher said five one, three, seven, four nine 2003 01:51:27.199 --> 01:51:28.960 fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three 2004 01:51:29.079 --> 01:51:31.479 talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones. And 2005 01:51:31.640 --> 01:51:34.039 when I think about the education system, this whole idea 2006 01:51:34.119 --> 01:51:35.960 that you can advance a child who do has not 2007 01:51:36.239 --> 01:51:42.479 mastered the grade level, and I don't understand how anyone 2008 01:51:42.560 --> 01:51:45.039 could argue that it's providing a service for that child. 2009 01:51:46.359 --> 01:51:48.039 They just want to move on because they're a headachere, 2010 01:51:48.039 --> 01:51:51.000 a hassle. That means you've given up on that child, 2011 01:51:51.079 --> 01:51:53.640 and you've condemned that child to a life of poverty 2012 01:51:54.000 --> 01:51:55.880 or perhaps even crime. And a friend of mine, they 2013 01:51:55.920 --> 01:51:59.880 just sent me some statistics on this education problem, and 2014 01:52:00.039 --> 01:52:01.399 a lot of it has to do with, you know, 2015 01:52:01.760 --> 01:52:03.600 not having a dad at home or not having a 2016 01:52:03.720 --> 01:52:08.960 nuclear family that provides support. That whole prison to pipeline 2017 01:52:09.039 --> 01:52:12.159 thing or pipeline to prison thing, A lot of people 2018 01:52:12.439 --> 01:52:14.319 point to the education system. Yeah, if you don't have 2019 01:52:14.319 --> 01:52:17.039 an education, the likelihood of your committing crimes because you 2020 01:52:17.199 --> 01:52:20.039 can't get a job because you don't know how to 2021 01:52:20.159 --> 01:52:23.840 read or perform basic fundamental mathematics skills. Of course, that's 2022 01:52:23.880 --> 01:52:29.119 going to be a problem. But you know, a little Johnny, 2023 01:52:29.159 --> 01:52:31.640 you will feel guilty or bad because he's been held 2024 01:52:31.720 --> 01:52:36.840 back and his peers have moved forward. Really, we'll moving 2025 01:52:36.920 --> 01:52:39.000 Johnny up to the next grade when Johnny has not 2026 01:52:39.159 --> 01:52:40.800 mastered the skills of the grade that he is in, 2027 01:52:41.039 --> 01:52:43.119 is only going to put him further behind. Because well, 2028 01:52:43.159 --> 01:52:48.079 of course, the problem is an obvious one. Every year 2029 01:52:48.159 --> 01:52:51.239 the curriculum gets more challenging and harder. It's supposed to 2030 01:52:52.079 --> 01:52:56.199 you create this building block, this foundation of knowledge. Every 2031 01:52:56.399 --> 01:53:01.159 year more bricks and blocks in that foundation, and then 2032 01:53:01.239 --> 01:53:05.479 you build further upon it. If your foundation is shaky 2033 01:53:05.640 --> 01:53:08.239 or in many cases and not just the statistics are 2034 01:53:08.359 --> 01:53:11.439 mind blowing. You've got school districts where not a single 2035 01:53:12.600 --> 01:53:17.000 child can read at grade level and get in the 2036 01:53:17.000 --> 01:53:19.800 system of education that we live now, this whole idea 2037 01:53:19.840 --> 01:53:22.439 that we don't hold people back anymore, we just move 2038 01:53:22.520 --> 01:53:26.800 them on grade elevation when they haven't actually earned the grade. 2039 01:53:28.359 --> 01:53:31.319 How can anyone argue that that's beneficial to the child. 2040 01:53:33.680 --> 01:53:36.079 And there's no one size fits all solution to this. 2041 01:53:36.239 --> 01:53:39.039 I recognize that it's a simplistic thing to say, well, 2042 01:53:39.159 --> 01:53:43.680 we just need to but that one component of the 2043 01:53:43.880 --> 01:53:47.640 education system should be eradicated and eliminated completely. You must 2044 01:53:47.800 --> 01:53:51.920 demonstrate your knowledge of this grade's material before you can 2045 01:53:52.000 --> 01:53:54.560 move on, because well, we're not going to graduate people 2046 01:53:54.560 --> 01:54:00.640 from high school anymore. They can't read. That's a thing, 2047 01:54:03.560 --> 01:54:05.439 doesn't it sound like something from a you know, a 2048 01:54:05.520 --> 01:54:08.560 dystopian Hollywood movie that we would live in a society 2049 01:54:08.640 --> 01:54:13.520 that would do that. I mean, forget about it being 2050 01:54:13.560 --> 01:54:16.279 a benefit for the American people, our economy, are our 2051 01:54:16.359 --> 01:54:19.479 future as a country to have well educated young people. 2052 01:54:20.000 --> 01:54:23.399 But just look at the individual alone. You've left that 2053 01:54:23.640 --> 01:54:32.119 person in peril and likely someone who is going to 2054 01:54:32.159 --> 01:54:34.199 be perpetually hooked up to the umbilical court of government 2055 01:54:34.239 --> 01:54:37.399 of some social program because they cannot care for themselves. 2056 01:54:40.680 --> 01:54:45.039 It's just it's heartbreaking. It is literally heartbreaking. Feeling like 2057 01:54:45.079 --> 01:54:47.239 I'm getting emotional just thinking about it. Although we've been 2058 01:54:47.279 --> 01:54:49.439 over this kind of thing so many times over the years. 2059 01:54:50.079 --> 01:54:52.720 Looks like I got several callers online, and Jim and 2060 01:54:52.800 --> 01:54:54.840 Ken and Alan, you guys don't mind holding I'd be 2061 01:54:55.000 --> 01:54:57.720 more than pleased and actually very happy to take your calls, 2062 01:54:57.720 --> 01:54:59.079 but I do have to take a break.

So we're gonna learn together about that. 2081 01:55:54.079 --> 01:55:56.159 I've seen some other articles about it, but I've never 2082 01:55:56.199 --> 01:55:58.359 paid that close attention to It's an opportunity for us 2083 01:55:58.399 --> 01:56:00.199 all to learn a little bit about the seven are 2084 01:56:00.560 --> 01:56:02.560 at eight forty and then check out the seminar and 2085 01:56:02.600 --> 01:56:04.920 power Youamerica dot Org. Let's go over to the phones. 2086 01:56:04.920 --> 01:56:07.239 I appreciate Alan hanging on for the break. Alan, thanks 2087 01:56:07.279 --> 01:56:09.199 for calling this morning, and welcome to the Morning Show. 2088 01:56:10.680 --> 01:56:15.800 Hey Brian, I always like listening to you. I just 2089 01:56:16.560 --> 01:56:19.840 I don't know if anybody's ever talked about this phenomenon 2090 01:56:19.960 --> 01:56:24.359 that's starting to happen, but kids not tying their shoes, 2091 01:56:25.600 --> 01:56:30.079 and it's like the adults around them don't have the 2092 01:56:30.399 --> 01:56:34.560 fortitude or the desire to make them tight their shoes. 2093 01:56:34.600 --> 01:56:37.920 When I grew up, if you had your two shoes untied, 2094 01:56:38.359 --> 01:56:41.359 you couldn't move without twenty people telling you, hey, hire shoe, 2095 01:56:41.399 --> 01:56:41.960 young man. 2096 01:56:44.000 --> 01:56:44.319 Right now. 2097 01:56:44.479 --> 01:56:47.920 And I had a soccer game yesterday. You thirty girls, 2098 01:56:48.520 --> 01:56:50.960 and this girl's running around with their shoes untide, which 2099 01:56:51.000 --> 01:56:56.079 is unsafe. So there's a lull in play, and I said, 2100 01:56:56.119 --> 01:56:58.560 young lady, TI your shoes, and so she goes out 2101 01:56:58.720 --> 01:57:01.000 tries to tie him for about thirty seconds and then 2102 01:57:01.079 --> 01:57:04.359 she gives up and she runs off the joint play 2103 01:57:04.640 --> 01:57:06.279 and it's like, I'm not going to stop the game 2104 01:57:06.359 --> 01:57:09.039 for this, So the coach sub ends up stumping. Around 2105 01:57:09.079 --> 01:57:11.560 four or five minutes later, she still has the tighter shoes. 2106 01:57:11.880 --> 01:57:14.199 I watched her go over the bitch. I watched the 2107 01:57:14.279 --> 01:57:16.279 coach talk to her, I watch her get a drink, 2108 01:57:16.640 --> 01:57:18.800 I watch her sit down, and I watch her for 2109 01:57:18.960 --> 01:57:21.960 thirty seconds not tying her shoes. So I stopped the game. 2110 01:57:22.039 --> 01:57:25.279 I go Coach number seventy is the tire shoes, and 2111 01:57:25.399 --> 01:57:27.199 the coach actually tight her shoes. 2112 01:57:27.920 --> 01:57:29.720 And it's just I. 2113 01:57:29.760 --> 01:57:34.640 Don't understand why we don't work at teaching kids things 2114 01:57:34.680 --> 01:57:36.880 that might be difficult for them, and we just. 2115 01:57:37.119 --> 01:57:37.560 Let them go. 2116 01:57:38.239 --> 01:57:41.880 Well, I have this vague recollection of you know, my 2117 01:57:42.039 --> 01:57:44.079 mom and dad teaching me how to tie my shoes. 2118 01:57:44.119 --> 01:57:46.119 You know, the rabbit runs around the tree and goes 2119 01:57:46.159 --> 01:57:48.640 through the hole. Whatever. But I mean, there is a 2120 01:57:48.720 --> 01:57:51.560 methodology for teaching your children how to tie shoes. It 2121 01:57:51.680 --> 01:57:54.000 isn't that difficult once you learn how to do it. 2122 01:57:54.600 --> 01:57:57.039 And that may be just an illustration of a failure 2123 01:57:57.119 --> 01:57:59.600 of parenting, But what parent would have let their kids 2124 01:57:59.640 --> 01:58:01.800 run around with the shoes untied? As you point out, 2125 01:58:01.920 --> 01:58:05.960 it's dangerous. Your shoe can easily fall off. How can 2126 01:58:06.000 --> 01:58:07.720 you run without your shoes being. 2127 01:58:07.640 --> 01:58:10.479 Tied or you could trip over the laces. 2128 01:58:10.600 --> 01:58:11.600 Yeah, well there's that too. 2129 01:58:13.279 --> 01:58:16.760 Why we had you fifteen boys and they've told me 2130 01:58:17.159 --> 01:58:19.319 this is the way I wear my shoes during a 2131 01:58:19.439 --> 01:58:21.479 soccer game, and it's like, no, that's not going to 2132 01:58:21.520 --> 01:58:21.800 cut it. 2133 01:58:23.479 --> 01:58:24.760 Keep up the great work, coach. 2134 01:58:27.359 --> 01:58:27.600 Wow. 2135 01:58:28.479 --> 01:58:31.039 I draw a parallel with that with the baggy pants thing, 2136 01:58:31.079 --> 01:58:33.560 where the pants are hanging down below the underwear around 2137 01:58:33.600 --> 01:58:36.520 the thighs, and you know a lot of time that 2138 01:58:36.640 --> 01:58:39.760 that look is associated with criminal behavior, at least I've 2139 01:58:39.800 --> 01:58:41.439 read that a bunch of times. Well, if you're going 2140 01:58:41.520 --> 01:58:43.479 to commit a crime and your pants aren't tied up 2141 01:58:43.520 --> 01:58:44.960 around your waist, I think you're going to have a 2142 01:58:45.000 --> 01:58:48.399 difficult time running away if law enforcement enters into the picture. 2143 01:58:48.560 --> 01:58:50.560 So you know, I just view that it's sort of 2144 01:58:50.600 --> 01:58:55.319 a Darwinian reality when you think about it. That's just 2145 01:58:55.439 --> 01:59:02.479 my take. So yeah, appreciate that. Alan seven eight hundred 2146 01:59:02.520 --> 01:59:04.560 eight two three dog pound five fifty on your AT 2147 01:59:04.680 --> 01:59:08.079 and T fund. I think it's Dan Enager, the brilliant 2148 01:59:08.760 --> 01:59:10.800 auto review guy at the Wall Street Journal. He writes 2149 01:59:10.880 --> 01:59:14.880 an outstanding column. I think it's his last name. Don't 2150 01:59:15.119 --> 01:59:17.039 don't don't quote me on that. And I should remember 2151 01:59:17.079 --> 01:59:20.479 his name because I read his column every week. But 2152 01:59:20.560 --> 01:59:22.920 he's talking about the timing on his decision, and he 2153 01:59:23.079 --> 01:59:25.880 said he rarely ever mentions any kind of car he buys, 2154 01:59:25.920 --> 01:59:27.680 and he gets so many cars to review that I 2155 01:59:27.720 --> 01:59:29.279 don't get. I get the impression he really doesn't have 2156 01:59:29.359 --> 01:59:32.600 to buy one, but he recently acquired a used Tesla, 2157 01:59:32.760 --> 01:59:35.119 and he went on to explain all of his reasons 2158 01:59:35.199 --> 01:59:36.760 to do it in spite of the fact that this 2159 01:59:36.840 --> 01:59:39.439 seems to be the evil choice of cars to buy 2160 01:59:39.520 --> 01:59:41.560 now since the left wing has gone all crazy against 2161 01:59:41.600 --> 01:59:45.680 Elon Musk. And I'm no fan of evs, and that's 2162 01:59:45.760 --> 01:59:48.680 my right to be, and I know how wonderful they are, 2163 01:59:48.760 --> 01:59:53.319 and I would never criticize the amazing reality of the 2164 01:59:53.399 --> 01:59:57.000 electric vehicles, from the acceleration, the immediate torque, the technology 2165 01:59:57.039 --> 01:59:59.359 that exists in them. Some call it big brother ish 2166 01:59:59.399 --> 02:00:01.920 and I think I could do that, but I know 2167 02:00:02.039 --> 02:00:05.119 people who own them and absolutely love them. They think 2168 02:00:05.159 --> 02:00:06.760 it's the greatest car ever made. 2169 02:00:06.880 --> 02:00:07.039 You know. 2170 02:00:07.159 --> 02:00:09.680 And then along comes Elon Musk and his efforts to 2171 02:00:09.920 --> 02:00:11.680 get out, you know, the fraud, waste and abuse in 2172 02:00:11.760 --> 02:00:15.399 government immediately makes him the devil or a Nazi. If 2173 02:00:15.520 --> 02:00:18.119 I think that's the most absurd claim you could ever make, 2174 02:00:19.279 --> 02:00:21.239 because I do understand the definition of the Nazis and 2175 02:00:21.279 --> 02:00:23.920 the national Socialist Party, and I do understand the reality 2176 02:00:24.000 --> 02:00:26.640 of Adolf Hitler and his extermination of an entire race 2177 02:00:26.680 --> 02:00:28.119 of people, or at least his efforts to do that. 2178 02:00:28.720 --> 02:00:34.840 Not something that Elon Musk has ever advocated for, but 2179 02:00:35.000 --> 02:00:37.520 that you can get one of those automobiles. He bought 2180 02:00:37.520 --> 02:00:39.319 a used one twenty twenty two. I think it was 2181 02:00:39.359 --> 02:00:43.359 a Model three, maybe low mileage. There's quite a few 2182 02:00:43.439 --> 02:00:45.800 of them now, of course, more for sale now than before, 2183 02:00:45.880 --> 02:00:48.640 but a tremendous value. I believe he purchased it because 2184 02:00:48.640 --> 02:00:51.520 his daughter's needed is getting your driver's license. But he 2185 02:00:51.640 --> 02:00:53.880 went on and just did this rave review of all 2186 02:00:53.960 --> 02:00:58.960 the reasons why it is such an outstanding automobile. And 2187 02:00:59.079 --> 02:01:00.640 I think about that in the context of all the 2188 02:01:00.720 --> 02:01:03.439 people that went out and bought them because of the reasons. 2189 02:01:03.479 --> 02:01:06.960 He articulated that you have all these choices in the 2190 02:01:07.000 --> 02:01:08.840 world about what you can buy. You chose to get 2191 02:01:08.880 --> 02:01:11.399 an electric vehicle that requires a charger and takes a 2192 02:01:11.399 --> 02:01:13.079 little bit longer to charge up and all that, and 2193 02:01:13.159 --> 02:01:15.039 some of the limitations it comes with, like you know, 2194 02:01:15.239 --> 02:01:20.800 mileage limitations, some convenience inconvenience is associated with it. But 2195 02:01:21.600 --> 02:01:24.039 what it came across I actually had a better perception 2196 02:01:24.279 --> 02:01:27.640 of owning one and how easily they are to be 2197 02:01:27.720 --> 02:01:32.800 acquired and affordable. And so I respect the decision that 2198 02:01:32.920 --> 02:01:34.880 he made and I have no problem against it. I 2199 02:01:35.000 --> 02:01:36.680 just don't like to be told I do not have 2200 02:01:36.800 --> 02:01:43.159 a choice, as I witnessed the insanity going on with 2201 02:01:43.239 --> 02:01:46.680 the left, and they're they're, they're, they're attacking the vehicle 2202 02:01:46.840 --> 02:01:50.640 itself and innocent owners of vehicles who may have bought 2203 02:01:50.680 --> 02:01:52.680 them for all the right reasons. The reason that he 2204 02:01:52.880 --> 02:01:56.680 articulated in the article are enough, but the idea that 2205 02:01:56.720 --> 02:01:59.319 you think you might be saving the planet on some level, 2206 02:01:59.319 --> 02:02:01.720 a lot of virtue signaling going on with Tesla owners. 2207 02:02:01.920 --> 02:02:03.800 Maybe he just bought it because you like the performance. 2208 02:02:04.159 --> 02:02:07.279 The Tesla plaid is just a little rocket ship and 2209 02:02:07.439 --> 02:02:10.319 for someone who likes performance and automobiles zero to sixty 2210 02:02:10.439 --> 02:02:18.520 one point nine seconds, McLaren's can't even do that. But 2211 02:02:18.600 --> 02:02:20.840 there are multitude of reasons to buy them. But why 2212 02:02:21.079 --> 02:02:26.199 are these crazed folks attacking people who made the decision 2213 02:02:26.479 --> 02:02:30.520 many years ago, made the decision to purchase a Tesla vehicle, 2214 02:02:31.520 --> 02:02:35.000 only to go after the innocent purchases of those vehicles 2215 02:02:35.039 --> 02:02:37.800 when they bought them for a multitude of right reasons. 2216 02:02:37.840 --> 02:02:40.880 They didn't buy it because Elon Musk is doing what 2217 02:02:41.000 --> 02:02:43.880 he's doing now. They bought him for the technological genius 2218 02:02:43.920 --> 02:02:46.279 that they are, or because they think they're saving the 2219 02:02:46.319 --> 02:02:51.359 planet that company supports. I think one hundred thousand American 2220 02:02:51.479 --> 02:02:56.279 workers pension systems are invested in Tesla. So if you're 2221 02:02:56.359 --> 02:02:58.760 like Waltz and you're happy the Tesla stock is going 2222 02:02:58.840 --> 02:03:01.920 down very well, be you know, harming your own pension, 2223 02:03:02.520 --> 02:03:06.920 your own four oh one k. It makes no sense whatsoever. 2224 02:03:08.119 --> 02:03:10.439 Do you think you have legitimate criticism against Elon Musk. 2225 02:03:10.479 --> 02:03:12.479 That's fine if you choose not to buy one of 2226 02:03:12.520 --> 02:03:16.119 his products now because of what he's doing with doge okay, 2227 02:03:17.319 --> 02:03:19.680 But to go around and attack, you know, the vehicles 2228 02:03:19.800 --> 02:03:23.199 in automobile dealerships, and to attack people who have no 2229 02:03:23.479 --> 02:03:26.520 connection whatsoever with Elon must they he just happened to 2230 02:03:26.560 --> 02:03:29.159 be the guy that created this wonderful product that would 2231 02:03:29.159 --> 02:03:35.479 convince them that it was a worthy purchase. I can't 2232 02:03:35.600 --> 02:03:39.439 imagine you are doing yourself any favors by way of 2233 02:03:39.560 --> 02:03:44.319 making this as a political statement. It just it doesn't 2234 02:03:44.319 --> 02:03:46.640 make any sense. I just really don't get it, and 2235 02:03:46.840 --> 02:03:48.840 maybe that's one of the reasons the Democrat polling numbers 2236 02:03:48.840 --> 02:03:51.199 are gone down through the toilet. Federal Bureau of Investigation 2237 02:03:51.399 --> 02:03:55.720 even released a public service announcement warning Americans, in their words, 2238 02:03:55.760 --> 02:03:59.520 to exercise vigilance and look out for suspicious activities in 2239 02:03:59.560 --> 02:04:03.640 areas occupied by Tesla dealerships or Tesla related entities, or 2240 02:04:03.680 --> 02:04:08.119 even just Tesla's generally speaking. According to the release the FBI, 2241 02:04:08.159 --> 02:04:10.359 the Federal Bald of Investigation is informing the public of 2242 02:04:10.439 --> 02:04:16.199 recent nationwide incidents targeting Tesla Electric Vehicles, dealerships, storage lots, 2243 02:04:16.239 --> 02:04:21.319 and charging stations. Since January twenty twenty five, incidents targeting 2244 02:04:21.359 --> 02:04:24.399 Tesla evs have occurred at at least nine states. These 2245 02:04:24.439 --> 02:04:30.159 incidents involve arson, gun fire, vandalism, including graffiti expressing grievances 2246 02:04:30.239 --> 02:04:36.800 against those the perpetrators perceived to be racist, fascists, or 2247 02:04:36.880 --> 02:04:42.319 political opponents. Isn't that a rather broad presumption you're making. 2248 02:04:42.880 --> 02:04:44.920 Your neighbor's got a Tesla, maybe it's been parked in 2249 02:04:44.960 --> 02:04:47.800 his or her driveway. Now since the Biden administration, you're 2250 02:04:47.800 --> 02:04:49.359 going to go and attack that one and spray it 2251 02:04:49.399 --> 02:04:52.479 with graffiti. When they had Elon Musk had no connection 2252 02:04:52.600 --> 02:04:54.800 with the federal government or its efforts to pair back 2253 02:04:54.880 --> 02:05:00.000 the size and scope of it. A pre elon must 2254 02:05:00.319 --> 02:05:06.199 indulge decision that they made. They said, these criminal actions 2255 02:05:06.239 --> 02:05:08.439 appear to have been conducted by loan offenders, and all 2256 02:05:08.520 --> 02:05:11.880 known incidents occurred at night well thirty. General pam Bondi 2257 02:05:11.920 --> 02:05:14.760 has labeled the tax domestic terrorism and announced charges against 2258 02:05:14.760 --> 02:05:19.359 several individuals engaging these attacks. Recognize that the Tesla vehicle 2259 02:05:19.399 --> 02:05:21.359 itself has a security feature on it that is going 2260 02:05:21.439 --> 02:05:25.760 to record you. It's called Century Modes, got multiple cameras. 2261 02:05:25.840 --> 02:05:28.479 You will be reported to the owner's app and you 2262 02:05:28.560 --> 02:05:32.600 will be recorded on a separate disc. They will have 2263 02:05:32.720 --> 02:05:35.520 the evidence of the crime occurring. So you're likely to 2264 02:05:35.600 --> 02:05:38.319 get prosecuted. And as I mentioned before, and I know 2265 02:05:38.439 --> 02:05:42.279 Pambondi's mentioned it already, you can be the perpetrators of 2266 02:05:42.359 --> 02:05:46.640 this exercise, the ones who car coordinating it. Maybe one 2267 02:05:46.680 --> 02:05:49.600 of these left wing organizations, unhinged as they may be, 2268 02:05:49.760 --> 02:05:54.479 but if they're coordinating and orchestrating criminal activity, that's plain 2269 02:05:54.560 --> 02:05:58.239 old rico right there, and they may find themselves in 2270 02:05:58.279 --> 02:06:01.439 a crossover recoa action. And I'm sort of sitting here 2271 02:06:01.479 --> 02:06:06.359 with my popcorn out waiting for it to happen anyway. 2272 02:06:06.399 --> 02:06:09.520 The warning listed possible threat activities, violent threats made online, 2273 02:06:09.560 --> 02:06:14.279 referencing specific Tesla properties, inquiring or examining security measures of 2274 02:06:14.319 --> 02:06:18.479 Tesla dealerships for photographs of security related equipment or personnel 2275 02:06:18.560 --> 02:06:22.720 Tesla dealerships, unusual surveillance or interest in Tesla related entities, 2276 02:06:22.760 --> 02:06:25.880 and attempts to gain access to restricted areas or bypassed 2277 02:06:25.920 --> 02:06:29.439 security measures at Tesla related properties. Again, that relates to 2278 02:06:29.479 --> 02:06:33.680 the dealerships, and I guess where they're parked generally speaking, 2279 02:06:33.760 --> 02:06:36.399 but in so far as individual Tesla owners, you too 2280 02:06:36.439 --> 02:06:38.640 are being attacked because I've seen so many reports on it, 2281 02:06:39.159 --> 02:06:45.119 and that is absolutely baffling to me. FBI encourage you 2282 02:06:45.159 --> 02:06:47.359 to call the FBI field office. You can get in 2283 02:06:47.439 --> 02:06:49.520 touch with them if you notice the suspicious activity. It's 2284 02:06:49.560 --> 02:06:54.960 eight hundred call FBI. That's eight hundred call FBI. I'm 2285 02:06:55.000 --> 02:06:56.800 sort of beside myself this morning that I even have 2286 02:06:56.880 --> 02:06:58.880 to bring this up, but it is going on, and 2287 02:06:59.000 --> 02:07:02.760 again I'm baffling by the behavior. Eight seventeen fifty five 2288 02:07:02.840 --> 02:07:04.680 krc DE talk station. Feel free to call. We got 2289 02:07:04.680 --> 02:07:07.039 plenty of time to talk before we learned about blue 2290 02:07:07.119 --> 02:07:09.600 lights and human health from Scott Zimmerman. That'll be at say, eight. 2291 02:07:09.600 --> 02:07:13.199 Forty I'll be right back fifty five krc A. 2292 02:07:13.319 --> 02:07:20.960 Twenty one fifty five carc de talk station. Automobile. Guess 2293 02:07:21.159 --> 02:07:25.880 eric I also think of that movie when the word 2294 02:07:25.920 --> 02:07:29.159 automobile is uttered anyway, moving over to a little op 2295 02:07:29.279 --> 02:07:31.680 ed piece in the journal, what works and what doesn't 2296 02:07:31.760 --> 02:07:34.399 demonstrat demonstrated by the realities of what's going on in 2297 02:07:34.520 --> 02:07:37.199 California versus that in Texas the numbers do not lie. 2298 02:07:39.840 --> 02:07:42.239 Democrats still wake up to the fact that migration from 2299 02:07:42.239 --> 02:07:44.279 blue to red states could become a political problem for 2300 02:07:44.359 --> 02:07:46.800 winning the House represented. It's going to get worse, judging 2301 02:07:46.840 --> 02:07:50.479 by the Department of Labour's latest state jobs reports showing 2302 02:07:50.600 --> 02:07:55.840 California lost jobs in nearly every industry in the year 2303 02:07:56.239 --> 02:08:00.279 before underscore the word before Donald Trump took office. Ure 2304 02:08:00.319 --> 02:08:03.920 of Labor Statistics last week released annual revised job numbers 2305 02:08:03.960 --> 02:08:08.239 for states based on more complete data. California gained a 2306 02:08:08.439 --> 02:08:12.800 net twenty two thousand, four hundred jobs from January twenty 2307 02:08:12.840 --> 02:08:16.119 four to January twenty five. All of its new jobs 2308 02:08:16.159 --> 02:08:21.239 were in government fifty eighty three hundred, healthcare, social assistance, 2309 02:08:21.319 --> 02:08:24.960 and private often higher education one hundred and forty eight thousand, 2310 02:08:25.039 --> 02:08:28.600 two hundred, which rely to a large extent on government spending. 2311 02:08:28.640 --> 02:08:31.840 And if you have an opportunity, please read ALYSSA. Finley's 2312 02:08:31.920 --> 02:08:36.239 op ed madness at Columbia was your tax dollars at work? 2313 02:08:37.119 --> 02:08:42.000 Jeez lo wise, what a colossally screwed up. And this 2314 02:08:42.119 --> 02:08:45.000 is the time that I wish FCC compliance rules were suspended, 2315 02:08:45.000 --> 02:08:47.479 because I'd have some graphic language to use to describe 2316 02:08:47.560 --> 02:08:53.640 what was revealed in that article. But moving back, private 2317 02:08:53.680 --> 02:08:56.840 businesses shed jobs in the year. This is again in California. 2318 02:08:56.960 --> 02:09:00.279 Construction down twenty eight thousand, six hundred, manufacturing down thirty 2319 02:09:00.319 --> 02:09:03.439 three thousand, four hundred, information down eleven thousand, seven hundred, 2320 02:09:03.479 --> 02:09:06.439 finance down twenty one thousand, eight hundred, professional and business 2321 02:09:06.479 --> 02:09:10.520 services down forty nine thousand, leisure and hospitality down twenty 2322 02:09:10.600 --> 02:09:15.359 nine thousand, five hundred, retail down forty three hundred. They 2323 02:09:15.399 --> 02:09:17.960 say some job losses are a result of small businesses 2324 02:09:18.079 --> 02:09:22.199 closing because of high taxes and costs, including sixteen to 2325 02:09:22.279 --> 02:09:25.039 fifteen hour minimum wage and twenty dollars minimum wage for 2326 02:09:25.079 --> 02:09:29.119 fast food restaurants. They say the state's Private Attorney's Generals 2327 02:09:29.159 --> 02:09:33.199 Act let trial lawyers extort small businesses by filing dubious 2328 02:09:33.279 --> 02:09:37.119 lawsuits for alleged labor violations. Most businesses pay off the 2329 02:09:37.199 --> 02:09:40.279 attorneys and settlements because defending against the lawsuits would cost 2330 02:09:40.359 --> 02:09:42.680 even more. And yes, I know a lot about that. 2331 02:09:42.840 --> 02:09:47.399 That's why they settle. Large companies, also relocating workers to 2332 02:09:47.600 --> 02:09:53.399 lower tax and cost states. Texas added one hundred and 2333 02:09:53.520 --> 02:09:57.199 eighty seven thousand, seven hundred jobs over the same period, 2334 02:09:57.279 --> 02:10:01.039 with gains spanning all industries. Construction in nineteen thousand, eight 2335 02:10:01.119 --> 02:10:04.560 hundred up forty two hundred, up in manufacturing two hundred, 2336 02:10:04.600 --> 02:10:07.600 up in information nineteen thousand, up in finance, professional and 2337 02:10:07.640 --> 02:10:12.119 business services up nineteen seven, leisure and hospitality up eleven thousand, 2338 02:10:12.159 --> 02:10:17.520 three hundred, and retail up thirteen thousand, nine hundred. Texas 2339 02:10:17.560 --> 02:10:20.439 added only about one quarter as many jobs in healthcare, 2340 02:10:20.520 --> 02:10:24.479 social assistance, in private education as California. They spent fifty 2341 02:10:24.960 --> 02:10:28.479 billion on health and human services compared with California's two 2342 02:10:28.600 --> 02:10:34.039 hundred and twenty eight billion. Democrats in Sacramento can't blame 2343 02:10:34.079 --> 02:10:36.479 Donald Trump or the wildfires in January for the state's 2344 02:10:36.520 --> 02:10:40.199 part poultry employment growth. Employment declined between January and September 2345 02:10:40.399 --> 02:10:43.920 twenty four, surged in November December, as in the rest 2346 02:10:44.000 --> 02:10:47.439 of the country after Trump's selection, jobs flat between December 2347 02:10:47.520 --> 02:10:50.960 twenty four and this January. One problem for Democrats in 2348 02:10:51.000 --> 02:10:54.800 Sacramento is the progressive tax regime effective top marginal rate 2349 02:10:54.880 --> 02:10:58.279 of fourteen and a half percent on wage income thirteen 2350 02:10:58.439 --> 02:11:01.800 point three on investment income that's made the state budget 2351 02:11:01.880 --> 02:11:04.960 increasingly dependent on a high earners whose incomes are volatile. 2352 02:11:05.039 --> 02:11:09.520 Are you ready The top one percent of earners in 2353 02:11:09.680 --> 02:11:14.359 California contribute about half of the state's income tax revenue. 2354 02:11:14.760 --> 02:11:16.680 How long can those people stay there? Or will they 2355 02:11:16.760 --> 02:11:22.000 stay there? California's economy also becoming more dependent on government spending, 2356 02:11:22.079 --> 02:11:25.960 including federal funds totaling one hundred and sixty two billion 2357 02:11:26.119 --> 02:11:29.720 dollars last year. The stock market correction and slow down 2358 02:11:29.760 --> 02:11:32.800 in federal spending could only open gaping budget deficits that 2359 02:11:32.960 --> 02:11:35.760 might force cuts in government spending, resulting in layoffs in 2360 02:11:35.840 --> 02:11:40.079 the few areas that are still adding growth or jobs. Rather, 2361 02:11:41.439 --> 02:11:44.279 you won't hear about this in any of the California problems. 2362 02:11:44.319 --> 02:11:48.119 On Governor Gavin Newsom's new podcast interviewing Maga men Nor 2363 02:11:48.239 --> 02:11:50.680 from the Progressive Land bassing him for reaching out to 2364 02:11:50.720 --> 02:11:55.079 Donald Trump supporters. A growing problem for Newsom's national ambitions 2365 02:11:55.159 --> 02:12:00.119 and his party is that California epitomizes the left. This 2366 02:12:00.319 --> 02:12:04.800 policies that harm workers and employers. That's why so many 2367 02:12:04.880 --> 02:12:07.880 are leaving for Texas. Thank god we live in this 2368 02:12:08.039 --> 02:12:10.880 amazing country we live in. Each state is free to 2369 02:12:10.920 --> 02:12:14.960 pursue its own objective, is free to pursue its own efforts. Experiment, 2370 02:12:16.319 --> 02:12:19.560 and what works tend to percolate to the top. What doesn't, well, 2371 02:12:19.760 --> 02:12:23.279 look at California. That's why I love the one size 2372 02:12:23.399 --> 02:12:27.960 does not fit all reality of our republic. Some states 2373 02:12:28.039 --> 02:12:31.399 get it right. Some states show you the wrong path. 2374 02:12:32.560 --> 02:12:37.000 The smart choose the right path. Eight twenty six.

Bred's 2406 02:14:00.640 --> 02:14:02.319 on the phone, Frank, thanks for holding over the break there. 2407 02:14:02.319 --> 02:14:03.279 Welcome to the morning show. 2408 02:14:04.279 --> 02:14:06.880 Yes, sir Byron a long time listening, first time caller 2409 02:14:07.000 --> 02:14:09.600 type thing. So, hey, I appreciate anything to do. I 2410 02:14:09.800 --> 02:14:11.520 just want to throw something out there, kind of let 2411 02:14:11.600 --> 02:14:13.279 folks know what's going on in their neighborhood. I guess 2412 02:14:13.319 --> 02:14:17.039 this hands off group of them, the less than learned, 2413 02:14:17.520 --> 02:14:20.000 they're having a couple of rallies in the trash State 2414 02:14:20.279 --> 02:14:23.279 area on April fifth, which they probably doing on April 2415 02:14:23.359 --> 02:14:27.560 the first, but that they're at Washington Park and at 2416 02:14:27.640 --> 02:14:31.960 the Florence Mall. So if folks see these less than 2417 02:14:32.039 --> 02:14:34.319 leunded folks out there, they might just stop buying them 2418 02:14:34.319 --> 02:14:35.960 a bottle of water, shake their hands and maybe try 2419 02:14:36.039 --> 02:14:38.119 to educate a little bit, or just ignore them and 2420 02:14:38.560 --> 02:14:41.880 problem resist. But just letting folks know what's going on 2421 02:14:42.000 --> 02:14:45.039 out there, folks sharing them on social media for. 2422 02:14:45.119 --> 02:14:48.079 My lesson lightened listeners and including me what is this 2423 02:14:48.239 --> 02:14:50.399 group supposedly all about bread. 2424 02:14:50.880 --> 02:14:53.399 Oh, they're they're they're letting folks know that they don't 2425 02:14:53.520 --> 02:14:56.760 consent to Donald Trump stealing their government from. 2426 02:14:56.680 --> 02:14:58.399 Them to give to his billionaire friends. 2427 02:15:00.079 --> 02:15:02.760 Okay, pretty much in a nutshifter, those folks sucks at 2428 02:15:02.800 --> 02:15:08.119 the list and learned digging themselves hands hashtag hands off. 2429 02:15:08.439 --> 02:15:10.039 All right, Well, they might want to take a look 2430 02:15:10.039 --> 02:15:11.600 at the state of the finances in this country and 2431 02:15:11.640 --> 02:15:14.520 the reality realization that we're already paying a trillion dollars 2432 02:15:14.640 --> 02:15:18.239 annually in debt service on what we've already dug ourselves 2433 02:15:18.319 --> 02:15:20.800 into by way of whole, and to continue down this 2434 02:15:20.960 --> 02:15:25.000 path is a quite literally existential threat to the entire 2435 02:15:25.119 --> 02:15:29.279 United States government and literally every program and employment opportunity 2436 02:15:29.319 --> 02:15:32.439 that they currently enjoy. I don't understand the realities of 2437 02:15:32.479 --> 02:15:34.399 what they're arguing. It doesn't make any sense from a 2438 02:15:34.439 --> 02:15:37.520 dollars and cents standpoint, from an economic standpoint, but we 2439 02:15:37.640 --> 02:15:41.399 have got ourselves into a quite literally perilous state. All 2440 02:15:41.479 --> 02:15:43.800 the social welfare programs that they claim that the Trump 2441 02:15:43.800 --> 02:15:48.279 administration is going to eradicate will disappear under the weight 2442 02:15:48.760 --> 02:15:51.800 of the overspending. Someone's got to ferret out fraud, waste 2443 02:15:51.840 --> 02:15:54.279 and abuse and pair back these programs or the whole 2444 02:15:54.359 --> 02:15:56.600 cost of cards is going to collapse. They want to 2445 02:15:56.640 --> 02:15:59.119 continue to advocate for it. They're just revealing their ignorance 2446 02:15:59.119 --> 02:15:59.840 from my perspective. 2447 02:16:00.279 --> 02:16:04.199 But yeah, absolutely logic and reasoning or missing. So I 2448 02:16:04.359 --> 02:16:06.039 just thought to throw that out there. Appreciate your eave 2449 02:16:06.039 --> 02:16:07.640 and put on that. I'll hang up and let you comment, 2450 02:16:07.760 --> 02:16:09.399 and again thanks for keeping the mind for it. 2451 02:16:09.640 --> 02:16:11.760 Thanks fred, I truly appreciate you tuning in and for 2452 02:16:11.840 --> 02:16:15.199 your call this morning. Yeah, it just to me, it 2453 02:16:15.279 --> 02:16:17.560 reveals a level of ignorance. So just obviously not paying 2454 02:16:17.560 --> 02:16:20.039 the attention to the dollars. I don't make these figures up. 2455 02:16:21.079 --> 02:16:23.720 Talked about the social security system this morning. Everybody says 2456 02:16:24.039 --> 02:16:25.800 Ela mosc is trying to take it away from you. 2457 02:16:26.479 --> 02:16:30.359 Look at the numbers. You called it a Ponzi scheme. 2458 02:16:30.439 --> 02:16:34.399 It definitionally it is. I mean there are definitions for things. 2459 02:16:34.399 --> 02:16:37.399 It's like this definition for fascism, the definition for socialism, 2460 02:16:37.680 --> 02:16:41.200 definition for communism, definition for capitalism. There's a definition for 2461 02:16:41.319 --> 02:16:45.840 Ponzi scheme and it fits the definition. The money coming 2462 02:16:46.000 --> 02:16:48.719 in from the new workers is literally going right out 2463 02:16:48.760 --> 02:16:51.079 the door to pay the prior for people who work 2464 02:16:51.120 --> 02:16:53.040 their whole life and the hopes that Social Security is 2465 02:16:53.040 --> 02:16:56.959 going to take care of them in retirement. It's an 2466 02:16:57.079 --> 02:17:04.159 unsustainable plan because they are only a handful of workers 2467 02:17:04.239 --> 02:17:09.639 now for every person drawn so Security and I didn't 2468 02:17:09.639 --> 02:17:12.120 make it up. You know, people always criticize the Congressional 2469 02:17:12.120 --> 02:17:14.600 Budget Office numbers as being some sort of politically biased 2470 02:17:14.719 --> 02:17:16.799 or whatever. I mean. The numbers come from them, as 2471 02:17:16.840 --> 02:17:18.879 well as a multitude of other sorts. Both the sources, 2472 02:17:18.920 --> 02:17:21.559 both left and right, and you'll find the sources on 2473 02:17:21.719 --> 02:17:23.920 both the left and right. The numbers all seem to 2474 02:17:24.000 --> 02:17:26.000 line up, and that we're on eight townwards, that we're 2475 02:17:26.000 --> 02:17:33.040 on a perilous trajectory here. It's it's literally frightening. One 2476 02:17:33.120 --> 02:17:35.239 local story that I thought worth bringing back up. No 2477 02:17:35.360 --> 02:17:38.200 one has been reimbursed for damage they got from running 2478 02:17:38.239 --> 02:17:41.200 over potholes in the city of Cincinnati. You're allowed to 2479 02:17:41.239 --> 02:17:43.760 report a pothole, you can submit a claim for the 2480 02:17:43.840 --> 02:17:46.200 damage your car experience from hitting a pothole. But the 2481 02:17:46.239 --> 02:17:49.159 city confirmed not a single human being has been reimbursed 2482 02:17:49.159 --> 02:17:51.520 for a pothole this year, and they're blaming it on 2483 02:17:51.639 --> 02:17:54.440 state law. One woman had seven hundred and fifty dollars 2484 02:17:54.559 --> 02:17:57.559 damaged under her car her tire got flat. She had 2485 02:17:58.120 --> 02:18:00.399 almost I guess probably almost ran off the road anyway. 2486 02:18:00.879 --> 02:18:04.879 Wx WLWT reporting on this thank you to Rachel Hersheimer 2487 02:18:06.600 --> 02:18:09.840 when she receives an email it's said in response to 2488 02:18:09.920 --> 02:18:11.959 her claim after it was submitted to the City of Cincinnati. 2489 02:18:12.000 --> 02:18:14.479 The City of Cincinnati, by statute, has certain immunities from 2490 02:18:14.520 --> 02:18:18.360 liability for damage of this nature regarding the pothole in 2491 02:18:18.360 --> 02:18:20.959 they sight of the hire. Revised code provision limits claims 2492 02:18:21.000 --> 02:18:24.920 to circumstances where the city is proven to have had 2493 02:18:25.000 --> 02:18:27.879 prior knowledge of the road condition yet failed to act 2494 02:18:27.959 --> 02:18:31.680 within a reasonable amount of time. Both conditions must be met. Therefore, 2495 02:18:31.760 --> 02:18:33.879 most accidents caused by a pothole in the city are 2496 02:18:34.000 --> 02:18:37.840 not likely eligible for reambursement under Ohio law. The search 2497 02:18:37.920 --> 02:18:40.760 of records in the City Service Requests database confirms the 2498 02:18:40.799 --> 02:18:43.840 pothole repairs were completed in this area and within a 2499 02:18:44.000 --> 02:18:48.040 reasonable amount of time when they were first reported. City 2500 02:18:48.079 --> 02:18:51.120 of Cincinnati has not demonstrated negligence in this case. Regrettably, 2501 02:18:51.200 --> 02:18:54.920 we must deny your requests for damage claim reimbursement pursue 2502 02:18:54.920 --> 02:18:57.600 into Ohigh law. No embursement will be made in this case. 2503 02:18:57.639 --> 02:19:00.840 So when WLWT asked if anybody's claims have been paid, 2504 02:19:00.840 --> 02:19:03.840 they got five hundred and sixty four requests for reimbursement. 2505 02:19:03.959 --> 02:19:08.879 So far in twenty twenty five, none have been eligible 2506 02:19:09.239 --> 02:19:13.559 for reimbursement. So we call that what a hollow promise 2507 02:19:13.639 --> 02:19:16.319 from the city. Maybe we'll hear about that in the 2508 02:19:16.360 --> 02:19:19.360 debate between the mayor Old candidates. Tomorrow Night's eight thirty 2509 02:19:19.399 --> 02:19:21.840 six fifty five KR City Talk Station, What's wrong with 2510 02:19:21.920 --> 02:19:24.079 blue light? What's wrong with led lights? The man who 2511 02:19:24.120 --> 02:19:26.079 knows a lot about that, Scott Zimmerman, doing an empower 2512 02:19:26.120 --> 02:19:28.600 You seven, are on that We're going to learn from 2513 02:19:28.680 --> 02:19:30.479 him a little bit about the subject matter coming up 2514 02:19:30.479 --> 02:19:32.200 next should be interesting. I hope you can stick around 2515 02:19:32.200 --> 02:19:32.559 to listen. 2516 02:19:32.920 --> 02:19:36.280 This is fifty five KRC, an iHeartRadio statement. 2517 02:19:37.000 --> 02:19:39.760 Hey, forty to fifty five KRC Detalk station. As always, 2518 02:19:39.799 --> 02:19:44.280 props to Dan Regnold for creating the Empower You seminar series, 2519 02:19:44.399 --> 02:19:48.600 wonderful learning opportunities on a whole variety of topics from 2520 02:19:48.639 --> 02:19:52.440 politics to you know, gardening to lighting. And today I'm 2521 02:19:52.479 --> 02:19:54.319 pleased to welcome to the fifty five KRC Morning show Man. 2522 02:19:54.399 --> 02:19:56.399 It knows all about lighting, Scott Zimmerman. He's the founder 2523 02:19:56.399 --> 02:19:59.360 of a company called Sila Sinc. Maker of ni are 2524 02:19:59.559 --> 02:20:02.319 A lighting, which is my understanding. 2525 02:20:02.760 --> 02:20:03.360 What near. 2526 02:20:04.840 --> 02:20:09.319 What near infrared infrared enhanced lighting, And he'll explain that 2527 02:20:09.440 --> 02:20:10.959 in the moment that he has one of the thirty 2528 02:20:10.959 --> 02:20:13.239 five years of experience in the field of lighting and displays. 2529 02:20:13.280 --> 02:20:16.920 Innovations and inventions have been used commercially in a wide 2530 02:20:16.959 --> 02:20:20.239 range of military commercial products, including night vision displays, liquid 2531 02:20:20.239 --> 02:20:23.959 crystal displays, back gliding designs, and lighting fixtures, and lately 2532 02:20:24.000 --> 02:20:27.639 he's been focused on quantifying the health effects of natural 2533 02:20:27.799 --> 02:20:31.879 sunlight and the concerns with LED type lighting. Scott Zimmerman, 2534 02:20:31.959 --> 02:20:33.399 it's great to have you on the morning show. Your 2535 02:20:33.440 --> 02:20:36.440 Power You seminars taking place tomorrow night beginning at seven pm. 2536 02:20:37.079 --> 02:20:40.479 Listeners know to log in to empower you the letter 2537 02:20:40.520 --> 02:20:44.360 you America dot org and get registered. Welcome to the show, sir. 2538 02:20:44.479 --> 02:20:45.760 It's a pleasure having you on today. 2539 02:20:47.040 --> 02:20:49.639 Thank you very much, well, I appreciate it. 2540 02:20:49.959 --> 02:20:54.639 The one common complaint I hear is the modern headlights. 2541 02:20:54.719 --> 02:20:59.879 Those brilliant almost blue blasting headlights go down. It's like 2542 02:21:00.239 --> 02:21:02.120 the low beams are on, but it looks like you're 2543 02:21:02.120 --> 02:21:04.559 getting hit by like five sets of light bulbs, all 2544 02:21:04.600 --> 02:21:08.120 intense on high beam. That's one area where I at 2545 02:21:08.200 --> 02:21:10.799 least recognize that a lot of people have, at least 2546 02:21:10.840 --> 02:21:13.559 in my world, have complained about. But that's just one 2547 02:21:13.680 --> 02:21:15.120 element of these blue lights. 2548 02:21:16.520 --> 02:21:19.120 Yeah, I mean, I totally agree with you. 2549 02:21:19.479 --> 02:21:23.680 There are the headlights are really annoying and a problem. 2550 02:21:23.840 --> 02:21:26.360 But in general, I don't think people are aware that 2551 02:21:26.879 --> 02:21:31.639 what the government has done with very various DOE debardment 2552 02:21:31.639 --> 02:21:35.200 of energy mandates is eliminate about ninety percent of what 2553 02:21:35.319 --> 02:21:37.120 we get when we walk out and look into up 2554 02:21:37.280 --> 02:21:42.159 there or we're in normal outdoor blue sky type of situation. 2555 02:21:43.000 --> 02:21:45.719 And what we're finding is is I've been lucky enough 2556 02:21:45.920 --> 02:21:50.200 to work with a number of world leaders in certain areas, 2557 02:21:50.319 --> 02:21:56.120 Bob Jeffries neuroscientists, Bob Fosberry astrophysicists, or Robert Swelt, a 2558 02:21:57.200 --> 02:22:00.680 four board certification doctor, and we're fine that what they 2559 02:22:00.760 --> 02:22:03.719 took away, the ninety percent of the solar spectrum that 2560 02:22:03.760 --> 02:22:06.959 they took away from us with LED lighting is actually 2561 02:22:07.079 --> 02:22:11.719 affecting our health and it was actually being used for 2562 02:22:11.920 --> 02:22:15.399 some very important purposes within the body. So it's been 2563 02:22:15.520 --> 02:22:18.399 kind of a very interesting We have probably one of 2564 02:22:18.440 --> 02:22:22.239 the most diverse group of people looking at the problem, 2565 02:22:22.360 --> 02:22:28.000 and it's something that I think we're trying to get 2566 02:22:28.040 --> 02:22:31.239 them to change. What's going on, And like I say, 2567 02:22:31.319 --> 02:22:33.799 it's a lot more than just headlights. It's also just 2568 02:22:34.639 --> 02:22:38.079 what's affecting our kids' ability to learn, our immune system, 2569 02:22:38.239 --> 02:22:39.159 a bunch of other things. 2570 02:22:39.360 --> 02:22:42.520 Really well, I can understand the evolutionary process. Up until 2571 02:22:42.760 --> 02:22:46.559 very very recent in human mankind's development, we relied on firelight, 2572 02:22:46.719 --> 02:22:49.600 and of course with the incandescent bulb. Of my understanding 2573 02:22:49.719 --> 02:22:52.600 is those did burn on a spectrum that provided this 2574 02:22:53.239 --> 02:22:55.760 red and infrared light that we had become used to. 2575 02:22:56.000 --> 02:22:59.719 But you know, enter the global warming phenomenon in these 2576 02:23:00.200 --> 02:23:04.559 compact fluorescent bulbs, which I always absolutely hated. Segue to 2577 02:23:04.760 --> 02:23:07.200 LED bulbs, which until recently, and I want to ask 2578 02:23:07.280 --> 02:23:10.520 you about them, up until recently, they were really harsh. 2579 02:23:11.120 --> 02:23:14.760 You know, the light was intense white light and didn't 2580 02:23:14.760 --> 02:23:17.040 have any color to it. There's no warm glow to it. 2581 02:23:17.479 --> 02:23:20.319 Now with modern LEDs and I'm hoping you don't tell 2582 02:23:20.360 --> 02:23:22.639 me that my can lights which are LED or badroom 2583 02:23:22.680 --> 02:23:26.000 because they're adjustable and you can get a warm glow 2584 02:23:26.079 --> 02:23:29.000 from them. Is that the kind of NIRA technology you're 2585 02:23:29.000 --> 02:23:31.159 talking about that's now being developed or have I got 2586 02:23:31.200 --> 02:23:31.600 that wrong? 2587 02:23:33.000 --> 02:23:38.360 And unfortunately it's not all they've done. The eye has 2588 02:23:38.399 --> 02:23:41.520 a very limited only measures about ur can only detect 2589 02:23:41.520 --> 02:23:44.239 about ten percent of this whole their spectrum and the 2590 02:23:44.319 --> 02:23:47.280 rest of it, it has no idea what's going on. 2591 02:23:47.559 --> 02:23:51.840 And so the lighting industry, you know, one of those green, 2592 02:23:52.239 --> 02:23:57.200 misguided but well intended, green attempts at saving energy. 2593 02:23:58.360 --> 02:23:59.600 They said, well, let's just. 2594 02:23:59.639 --> 02:24:03.520 Take the ninety that nature has been providing for millions 2595 02:24:03.559 --> 02:24:06.000 of years and the body has adapted to and get 2596 02:24:06.079 --> 02:24:08.600 rid of it, and instead we're going to only give 2597 02:24:08.639 --> 02:24:11.239 you the part that terry respond to. Well, that sounds 2598 02:24:11.600 --> 02:24:17.120 like a great thought. Unfortunately, those other wavelengths were actually 2599 02:24:17.239 --> 02:24:20.479 there to actually make it so that you could see safely. 2600 02:24:21.040 --> 02:24:22.239 And so what are you seeing. 2601 02:24:22.280 --> 02:24:26.920 You're seeing explosion in blue blockers, in red light therapy, 2602 02:24:27.840 --> 02:24:31.079 in you know, forest bathing, all these things. The public 2603 02:24:31.239 --> 02:24:35.120 is sensing that there is a problem here, and now 2604 02:24:35.200 --> 02:24:38.840 we're putting some science behind it, and it's showing that, hey, 2605 02:24:39.000 --> 02:24:42.280 you know, those longer wavelengths that we can't see were 2606 02:24:42.319 --> 02:24:45.520 actually there, so that you could safely be in a 2607 02:24:45.600 --> 02:24:47.719 blue sky, or had. 2608 02:24:47.920 --> 02:24:50.879 You know, someone immune improve your immune. 2609 02:24:50.559 --> 02:24:54.840 Response or the ability of the mitochondria to actually generate energy. 2610 02:24:55.639 --> 02:25:00.559 And what's fascinating is that it's this multidisciplined team is 2611 02:25:00.840 --> 02:25:03.440 is now getting a lot of people jumping on the 2612 02:25:03.520 --> 02:25:07.399 bandwagon saying, hey, you know, maybe maybe we may went 2613 02:25:07.479 --> 02:25:11.000 a little too far, and we're actually have a petition 2614 02:25:11.200 --> 02:25:13.239 now and to try and pull back some of the 2615 02:25:13.360 --> 02:25:16.479 mandates that the DOE put in place, especially under the 2616 02:25:16.559 --> 02:25:21.239 Biden administration, to say, you know where they were essentially 2617 02:25:21.440 --> 02:25:26.760 creating requirements that would make for a toxic environment as 2618 02:25:26.799 --> 02:25:28.600 far as all the lighting and you're not going to 2619 02:25:28.680 --> 02:25:29.319 die tomorrow. 2620 02:25:29.399 --> 02:25:31.959 I'm not saying that the point is is good, you know. 2621 02:25:33.079 --> 02:25:36.680 You know, the point is is that, you know, after millions. 2622 02:25:36.360 --> 02:25:39.799 Of years of adaptation to the solar spectrum, the body 2623 02:25:39.879 --> 02:25:44.120 has developed some amazing optic My field is optical engineering. 2624 02:25:44.280 --> 02:25:46.360 So I looked at the optic side of things. 2625 02:25:46.760 --> 02:25:50.600 And you see that the body literally collects and localizes 2626 02:25:50.719 --> 02:25:53.920 some of these longer wavelengths around the fetus during during 2627 02:25:54.000 --> 02:25:57.440 development and or in through the brain structure. You know, 2628 02:25:57.680 --> 02:25:59.959 I keep on saying, you know, think about the old 2629 02:26:00.200 --> 02:26:02.440 days where you had a flash light and you stuck 2630 02:26:02.479 --> 02:26:04.520 it in your mouth and you were telling ghost stories 2631 02:26:04.719 --> 02:26:06.040 and you see everything kind. 2632 02:26:05.879 --> 02:26:07.319 Of glow red and orange. 2633 02:26:07.520 --> 02:26:11.879 Well, the longer wavelengths actually penetrate deep into the body 2634 02:26:12.520 --> 02:26:15.680 and they are stimulating various things that we are only 2635 02:26:15.799 --> 02:26:20.639 now beginning to understand. But it is clearly something that 2636 02:26:21.200 --> 02:26:23.639 is the body expects, and if it doesn't get it, 2637 02:26:24.239 --> 02:26:26.200 then there's going to be an adverse effect. It's kind 2638 02:26:26.200 --> 02:26:27.639 of like Yin Yang. 2639 02:26:27.799 --> 02:26:29.959 You know, you need the visible to see and do. 2640 02:26:30.079 --> 02:26:32.840 Your work and all this other stuff, but the longer 2641 02:26:32.920 --> 02:26:35.799 wavelengths are there to kind of Okay, well that takes 2642 02:26:36.600 --> 02:26:39.360 is as harmful in some ways that we're going to 2643 02:26:39.479 --> 02:26:42.520 use this to kind of offset it. So it's kind 2644 02:26:42.520 --> 02:26:45.520 of like a on a you know, a like I say, 2645 02:26:45.520 --> 02:26:47.079 a Yin Yang type situation. 2646 02:26:47.479 --> 02:26:50.399 Well, since we are literally surrounded by these everywhere we 2647 02:26:50.520 --> 02:26:53.559 go these days, and I've been working under fluorescent lights 2648 02:26:53.639 --> 02:26:56.840 for as long as I've been in a job, I 2649 02:26:56.959 --> 02:27:00.600 presume that those also lack these red and infrared spectrums. 2650 02:27:02.040 --> 02:27:04.520 That's correct, and you. 2651 02:27:04.520 --> 02:27:06.799 Know, and what Glenn's done in particular, he's done a 2652 02:27:06.879 --> 02:27:09.719 lot of studies now where he's showing that. You know, 2653 02:27:10.040 --> 02:27:16.200 the the reintroducing the longer wavelengths haveving a positive effect 2654 02:27:16.280 --> 02:27:20.959 on your eye ability to see color, contrast, or other aspects. 2655 02:27:21.120 --> 02:27:23.920 There's a strong a lot of people are doing red 2656 02:27:24.040 --> 02:27:27.159 light therapy to increase wound healing. Well, those are real 2657 02:27:27.239 --> 02:27:29.280 effects and they do add. 2658 02:27:29.200 --> 02:27:29.959 Up over time. 2659 02:27:30.799 --> 02:27:35.040 And Glenn's done some great work with animal insects and 2660 02:27:35.120 --> 02:27:37.600 things like that to show the twenty five percent increase 2661 02:27:37.680 --> 02:27:42.959 in lifetime associated with those applies and things of that nature. 2662 02:27:43.360 --> 02:27:46.239 But we're just now starting to understand that all these 2663 02:27:46.319 --> 02:27:49.399 different longer wavelengths that you can't see with your eye 2664 02:27:49.840 --> 02:27:52.440 are just as important and in some ways more important. 2665 02:27:53.079 --> 02:27:55.799 And unfortunately, there was a time when you may have 2666 02:27:55.959 --> 02:27:58.559 been in under a fluorescent light during work, but you 2667 02:27:58.639 --> 02:28:01.000 came home to an incandescent and read this story to 2668 02:28:01.120 --> 02:28:04.479 your son or your daughter and that was giving you 2669 02:28:04.520 --> 02:28:07.680 a plent or you had a fire in the fireplace going, 2670 02:28:07.879 --> 02:28:11.200 or things of that nature. So you know, these thermal 2671 02:28:11.360 --> 02:28:15.079 sources are broad band emitters that the myth clear out 2672 02:28:15.159 --> 02:28:18.760 into way out into the longer wavelengths. And as we 2673 02:28:18.879 --> 02:28:22.040 dig deeper, we're seeing more and more cases. Where isn't 2674 02:28:22.079 --> 02:28:25.520 that a coincidence that this is this is localized near 2675 02:28:25.680 --> 02:28:28.719 this particular thing, and then you throw that in and 2676 02:28:28.879 --> 02:28:30.879 so in a lot of ways, what we have is 2677 02:28:31.520 --> 02:28:35.120 while RFK Junior is focused on processed food, we have 2678 02:28:35.280 --> 02:28:40.719 processed sunlight and it is negatively impacting our ability for 2679 02:28:40.799 --> 02:28:45.120 our kids to learn. And there's you know, and proving 2680 02:28:45.159 --> 02:28:48.319 all that will take time and effort, but it's it's 2681 02:28:48.399 --> 02:28:53.360 something that's simple to fix and and it still saves 2682 02:28:53.440 --> 02:28:54.040 some energy. 2683 02:28:54.360 --> 02:28:54.520 You know. 2684 02:28:54.879 --> 02:28:58.159 That's what our products are basically showing. But my main 2685 02:28:58.280 --> 02:29:00.680 focus is not on our products. My main focus we 2686 02:29:00.760 --> 02:29:04.479 tell everybody please just go outside. Don't be stupid outside 2687 02:29:04.959 --> 02:29:07.239 I put it, wear a hat. You know, you're not 2688 02:29:07.360 --> 02:29:10.799 out there to bake yourself. But simply walking the forest 2689 02:29:10.920 --> 02:29:13.840 then enhances the amount of near and for red that 2690 02:29:13.920 --> 02:29:17.200 you're getting into your body. And there's a positive effect well. 2691 02:29:17.440 --> 02:29:20.159 The production of vitamin D because not of us, all 2692 02:29:20.159 --> 02:29:21.959 of us have enough vitamin D in our bodies because 2693 02:29:21.959 --> 02:29:24.200 we send so much time in the house. You know, 2694 02:29:24.280 --> 02:29:26.000 we're at work for eight hours or more and then 2695 02:29:26.000 --> 02:29:27.799 we go home and we sit in front of our laptops. 2696 02:29:27.799 --> 02:29:30.600 And I understanding laptops also have this negative effect in 2697 02:29:30.719 --> 02:29:31.799 terms of the light that they produce. 2698 02:29:33.000 --> 02:29:37.079 Yeah, they are only visible lighting. And you know, you 2699 02:29:37.159 --> 02:29:40.000 think about children. This is the first generation where this 2700 02:29:40.200 --> 02:29:42.920 is going to have a marked effect, and it already 2701 02:29:43.079 --> 02:29:45.280 is having a marked effect, and that you know, it 2702 02:29:45.440 --> 02:29:47.159 used to be you and I we would go out 2703 02:29:47.200 --> 02:29:49.600 and we'd be building the fort or going and doing something. 2704 02:29:50.319 --> 02:29:54.559 Even children's sports nowadays are usually done indoors under artificial 2705 02:29:54.639 --> 02:29:58.479 lighting that contains none of these longer wavelengths. And you know, 2706 02:29:58.920 --> 02:30:03.000 so if we can urge people to safely and you 2707 02:30:03.079 --> 02:30:06.879 know it, you're not You're not going to in the 2708 02:30:07.000 --> 02:30:10.479 afternoon after school. The kids are not going to get 2709 02:30:10.479 --> 02:30:12.840 a bunch of sunburns or things like that in ninety 2710 02:30:12.920 --> 02:30:15.719 nine flaming other places. And you know, if they're working 2711 02:30:15.840 --> 02:30:20.159 under a doing stuff under trees or whatever, that's that's 2712 02:30:20.399 --> 02:30:22.920 just more of the positive because if you if you 2713 02:30:23.000 --> 02:30:26.479 get a chance. Bob Posberry has some great pictures of 2714 02:30:26.600 --> 02:30:29.079 what's going on within the body where he shows how 2715 02:30:29.159 --> 02:30:31.760 the near infrared penetrates all the way through your hand 2716 02:30:32.440 --> 02:30:34.600 into your internal organs, and. 2717 02:30:36.559 --> 02:30:39.200 Then the trees when you're outdoors. 2718 02:30:38.799 --> 02:30:40.799 Are reflecting in their infra red so it's kind of 2719 02:30:40.840 --> 02:30:44.799 like a pair of nature sunglasses where absorbing the visible 2720 02:30:44.920 --> 02:30:48.079 and the UV but reflecting the near infrared into people 2721 02:30:48.159 --> 02:30:52.920 when you're outdoors interacting with nature. And so that's sort 2722 02:30:52.920 --> 02:30:55.879 of and what's really exciting is is that Bob R. 2723 02:30:56.319 --> 02:30:59.879 Roger Swelt is starting to he's a board certified doctor, 2724 02:31:00.000 --> 02:31:03.479 emergency room doctor, pulmonary doctor.

Jay, thanks for calling. 2745 02:32:01.639 --> 02:32:02.280 Happy Monday. 2746 02:32:03.319 --> 02:32:07.959 Happy Monday, Brian, Hey, wanted to build on your commentary 2747 02:32:08.000 --> 02:32:13.239 about what a dumpster fire in California is. Recently, I 2748 02:32:13.760 --> 02:32:16.559 got to thinking about, you know, the Wine administration is 2749 02:32:16.639 --> 02:32:20.120 growing about the amount of economic development that is occurring 2750 02:32:20.159 --> 02:32:22.920 in Ohio and how we're winning bigley using Trump's term. 2751 02:32:23.559 --> 02:32:25.520 So I got to thinking about that and said, well, 2752 02:32:26.280 --> 02:32:28.840 what if we filed with GDP. What if we touch 2753 02:32:28.879 --> 02:32:31.559 the top six states in the United States by GDP 2754 02:32:32.239 --> 02:32:36.799 and divided the GDP by state budgets, and that would 2755 02:32:36.840 --> 02:32:39.159 tell me of what is for every dollar spent on 2756 02:32:39.280 --> 02:32:42.479 state government, what are we getting for our economy? And 2757 02:32:44.399 --> 02:32:48.360 California was ranked number was had the highest GDP at 2758 02:32:48.440 --> 02:32:51.879 like one point four trillion. You divided by their state budget, 2759 02:32:51.959 --> 02:32:56.440 the ratio is about nine. So for every dollar state spending, 2760 02:32:56.639 --> 02:33:01.479 they get nine dollars of products and services. Ohio is six, 2761 02:33:01.799 --> 02:33:03.479 and we are in last place out of like the 2762 02:33:03.600 --> 02:33:07.360 top ten. Florida is at fourteen, and. 2763 02:33:09.079 --> 02:33:10.799 So even as bad. 2764 02:33:10.600 --> 02:33:14.920 As that sounds, what we heard from California, unfortunately, based 2765 02:33:15.000 --> 02:33:17.280 on that ratio, we suck. 2766 02:33:18.040 --> 02:33:18.239 Jay. 2767 02:33:18.319 --> 02:33:19.719 I got a hand it to you. Every time you 2768 02:33:19.840 --> 02:33:22.920 call it's a cold water dose the reality here. You 2769 02:33:23.040 --> 02:33:26.239 are paying attention though, and I certainly appreciate it. You 2770 02:33:26.399 --> 02:33:28.000 keep up the good work.
