Speaker 1: Five o five a fifty five k r C the
Speaker 1: talk station Happy Monday series.
Speaker 2: Daddy say will.
Speaker 3: Ava?
Speaker 4: Problem is that?
Speaker 5: No idea?
Speaker 6: What's going on?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I neither do. I tell you Happy Monday. Brian Thomas
Speaker 1: right here, glad to be hope you had a wonderful
Speaker 1: weekend and hope you can stick around all morning. Beginning
Speaker 1: at six oh five, guests start, and we begin with
Speaker 1: some interesting stories from Sharing Collidge of the Cincinnati Inquirer.
Speaker 1: Why is it that we had a sixty five million
Speaker 1: dollar windfall in the city of Cincinnati. I thought we
Speaker 1: were selling the railroad in order to make ends meet.
Speaker 1: Apparently not windfall, and that's not unusual. Although this year's
Speaker 1: sixty five million dollar leftover money going to a bunch
Speaker 1: of projects hand selected by the mayor and the city manager.
Speaker 1: And the balance of the money apparently you're not going
Speaker 1: to get any say on where it's going to go.
Speaker 1: Details from Sharon on that one, and then the updates
Speaker 1: the signs to give Kamala Harris credit for projects done
Speaker 1: around the city under the Inflation Reduction Act. Previously it's
Speaker 1: Biden who's getting credit for Biden Harris. I'm going to
Speaker 1: change the signs, hurry up and change them, because I
Speaker 1: guess the messaging is so important in advance of the
Speaker 1: election next week that we're going to pay I don't
Speaker 1: know how many millions of dollars or whatever. Sharon have
Speaker 1: the details on that to change the signs. Biden Joe
Speaker 1: is Joe Biden still president. They haven't kicked him out yet,
Speaker 1: have they. Strecker now right, so the signs are still accurate.
Speaker 1: That's shameless anyway. Apparently not everybody likes a new pick
Speaker 1: for since city council. A white heterosexual man reply a
Speaker 1: person of color in the LGBTQ community. So what white
Speaker 1: men are incapable of representing the constituents of the city
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. Huh yeah, I end of Lacy if he
Speaker 1: was a little pissed off about that one, as are others.
Speaker 1: So Sharon Cooler's reporting and we'll see what she has
Speaker 1: to say. There's not anything you can do about it.
Speaker 1: She was he was properly appointed. Pursue it to the
Speaker 1: process set up in the City of Cincinnati to replace
Speaker 1: folks who step down. So anyhow, but somebody's always complaining.
Speaker 1: Of course, Sharon's reporting on the complaining anyway, Christopher Smithvent
Speaker 1: an early start with Christopher Smithman. I guess he's got
Speaker 1: a lot in his mind. We're gonna begin with Christopher's
Speaker 1: Monday Morning Smith event at seven point twenty, followed by
Speaker 1: Money Monday Brian James and seeing the number really hurts
Speaker 1: inflation and how it's hitting your grocery card groceries up
Speaker 1: twenty eight percent in just five years. I know you
Speaker 1: know that he knows that. That's why Kamala Harris can
Speaker 1: run around and talk about how awesome things are. We
Speaker 1: all go and fill our grocery carts every week or so.
Speaker 1: I know we did it over the weekend again, my
Speaker 1: wife and I never ceases to amaze me how expensive
Speaker 1: things have gotten. So that one is in the queue
Speaker 1: there for Monday Mondy's Brian James fall by two in
Speaker 1: five US cardholders that be credit card holders are maxed out.
Speaker 1: That's not a good sign. And plus another unconstitutional student
Speaker 1: debt relief plan with an editorial comment from Joe Strecker
Speaker 1: Eye Roll heard that one before heavy Joe, I love
Speaker 1: hearing from you. Five one, three, seven, four nine fifty
Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk pound
Speaker 1: five fifty on eighteen and t phones, Hey, how about
Speaker 1: those Bengals can't win at home? Well, it was a sad,
Speaker 1: sad game, and we'd tell you what looked so great
Speaker 1: out of the gate, and just slowly and surely viraled
Speaker 1: into oblivion. So well, I was gonna say, we'll live
Speaker 1: to fight another day. But I don't know what The
Speaker 1: record that we've got right now anyway doesn't impact my
Speaker 1: world directly? Now does it question? Whether it impact the
Speaker 1: stadium negotiations? Will the Bengals record have anything to do
Speaker 1: with the terms conditions negotiated by the upcoming council or
Speaker 1: other commissioners? And who will those commissioners be? Obviously got
Speaker 1: some choices over the trifecta Democrats controlling the county commissioners,
Speaker 1: and I certainly hope you consider the Republican options when
Speaker 1: you go in to vote next week or early vote
Speaker 1: as the case may be. A lodd of people have
Speaker 1: been early voting lots. Apparently Republicans up pacing Democrats in
Speaker 1: the swing states as well. In that regard, how about
Speaker 1: that it's just yesterday that Democrats owned early vote voting,
Speaker 1: but apparently Republican voters have taken an early lead in
Speaker 1: critical swing states. Early voting data from Arizona, Nevada, and
Speaker 1: North Carolina showing a higher turnout among registered Republicans than Democrats.
Speaker 1: This is accorded reporting from Bloomberg Now. They say, and
Speaker 1: point out the obvious. It cannot alone early voting predict
Speaker 1: election outcomes, but it does show voter enthusiasm, which was
Speaker 1: on full display in New York the other day at
Speaker 1: the Madison Square Gardens. They packed the place, sold out
Speaker 1: Madison Square Gardens, twenty thousand people. By all accounts, there
Speaker 1: was an equal number of people, if not more outside,
Speaker 1: sort of a two rallies going on at the same
Speaker 1: time in New York City. Oh my god, nineteen thirty
Speaker 1: nine all over again. You know what. That kind of
Speaker 1: stuff just blows my mind. There was a rally in
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty nine in support of Adolf Hitler and the
Speaker 1: was it the National Socialist Party, wasn't it happtly name
Speaker 1: actually not fascism, but regardless dictatorial control from the top. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there were a lot of folks, I guess, in favor
Speaker 1: of Adolf Hitler and what he was trying to accomplish
Speaker 1: in Europe. They did have a rally back in nineteen
Speaker 1: thirty nine, and the Democrats in their desperation pointing out
Speaker 1: the realities we're living in, going back to the massive
Speaker 1: amount of inflation just in the area of food, among
Speaker 1: other things, national death, the interest payments on that, the
Speaker 1: fact that we have just an ever expanding this bureaucracy
Speaker 1: that's overwhelming business with the regulatory state, on and on
Speaker 1: and on about all the defects and problems we have
Speaker 1: in our country. They have to point to Donald Trump
Speaker 1: being a fascist. Just absolute stupidity. Read the damn definition. Please,
Speaker 1: I just you know, and that's insulting to you. For
Speaker 1: anybody out there has actually read the definitions of fascism
Speaker 1: and socialism and capitalism the various other forms of government
Speaker 1: quickly realized, you know, Donald Trump not a fascist. He's
Speaker 1: the one that wanted to get rid of the deep state.
Speaker 1: He wanted to get rid of massive regulations. He was
Speaker 1: the one that drill baby, drill all across you know
Speaker 1: it up, dot, close it down, open it up. These
Speaker 1: are the exact opposite things that the Democrats want to
Speaker 1: do and have done. Literally, So read your definitions and
Speaker 1: point to the Democrats who accused Donald Trump of being
Speaker 1: a fascist that they're an ignorant when they make statements
Speaker 1: like that. And speaking of prices of gasoline and oil,
Speaker 1: you know, California, Gavin News some recently signed some legislation
Speaker 1: and requiring refineries to sock away refine gasoline and store it. Now,
Speaker 1: do the refineries have the capability of doing that to
Speaker 1: the extent the legislation requires it? No, they don't. This
Speaker 1: is going to be a massive increase in cost of
Speaker 1: doing business for refineries in California. So what do they do.
Speaker 1: They're going to stay and suck it up and abide
Speaker 1: by the legislation, or are they going to do what
Speaker 1: so many people in California and other Blue states have done,
Speaker 1: just pack up their bags and leave. Well, they're choosing
Speaker 1: the latter option. Phillip sixty six already announced they were
Speaker 1: closing its law Los Angeles refinery. That's eight percent of
Speaker 1: California's refining capacity. That's after the passage of this very
Speaker 1: expensive regulation requiring them to do all this additional storage.
Speaker 1: Now it's Valero they say they may shut down two
Speaker 1: of their California refineries, which is fourteen percent of the
Speaker 1: state's gasoline production. And of course it's related to the
Speaker 1: potential closes because of the regulatory powers granted during a
Speaker 1: special legislative session, which again resulted in this law requiring
Speaker 1: them to soock away extra refined petroleum California. California pays like, way, much, way,
Speaker 1: way more than you and I pay for gasoline, even
Speaker 1: though what you and I pay for it has probably
Speaker 1: perceived to be way too much, notably considering the price
Speaker 1: of gasoline. When Aham Joe Biden took office, California's oil
Speaker 1: production has been cut in half. Since two thousand and eight,
Speaker 1: was two hundred and forty nine million barrels, thirty eight
Speaker 1: percent of what the state needs. Now it's down to
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty four million barrels, which is only
Speaker 1: twenty three point four percent of the state's needs. Resulting
Speaker 1: in California, what are they running their cars on windmills
Speaker 1: and solar panels hydroelectric power. No, they still have the cars.
Speaker 1: So as the production domestic production, which means domestic jobs,
Speaker 1: union jobs too, I might point out for you union
Speaker 1: members out there considering which direction you want to vote.
Speaker 1: Imports have surged sixty one percent of the refined I
Speaker 1: guess petroleum gasoline comes from countries like they say Iraq,
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, Ecuador, and Colombia. It was only forty eight
Speaker 1: and a half percent in two thousand and eight. Again
Speaker 1: going back to what Donald Trump proposes domestic production, stick
Speaker 1: refining and domestic employment. Why would we want to fund
Speaker 1: the East saudiast, Ecuadorians, Colombians and Iraqis if we can do
Speaker 1: it here and do it cleaner and do it safer
Speaker 1: and without those pesky shipping costs. Yeah, I guess you know.
Speaker 1: They never take into account the cost the ship refined
Speaker 1: gasoline to the United States. They put them on a tanker.
Speaker 1: Tankers that maybe being shot at by Houthi rebels anyway.
Speaker 1: Joe Patterson, a Republican of Rockland in California, When California
Speaker 1: Governor Gasam Neussen said in twenty twenty one he didn't
Speaker 1: see a future for oil in California, I didn't know
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four would be the year he ended it
Speaker 1: at lightning speed, said today, another refiner said all options
Speaker 1: are on the table with refiners here. We can thank
Speaker 1: Newsom's legislation exactly. You want inexpens of gasoline, you could
Speaker 1: get it. You could get it right here. But folks
Speaker 1: like AVENUESOM and the Lufties in California decide no, you're
Speaker 1: not going to have it, and you know, the vehicle
Speaker 1: to get the price of gasoline to go up and
Speaker 1: for you to well find it yourself in an unaffordable,
Speaker 1: untenable position because they have manipulated the market via regulation.
Speaker 1: Right sounds a bit fascist to me. Five sixteen five
Speaker 1: cares DE talk station five one three seven four nine
Speaker 1: fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three Taco
Speaker 1: with TOME five fifty on at and t funds. Love
Speaker 1: to hear from you. Maybe you got something you want
Speaker 1: to talk about. I would love to hear about that. Regardless,
Speaker 1: I hope you can stick around right here at fifty
Speaker 1: five care CD talk station time for than nine first
Speaker 1: warning wealer forecast partly cloudy day today high seventy one
Speaker 1: oh night, partly cloudie sky, low of fifty eight. Tuesday
Speaker 1: is going to be a breezy, partly cloudy day, seventy
Speaker 1: eight overnight down to fifty nine with partly cloudy skies
Speaker 1: and Wednesday mostly Sunday. I have eighty three right now,
Speaker 1: thirty seven degrees fifty five Careceiving talk Station five twenty
Speaker 1: A happy Monday to year five one three two three
Speaker 1: talk from our Next Wednesday, the day after the election,
Speaker 1: We're going to be at ron Zergus for listener to lunch.
Speaker 1: Oh my, you know, and I I think about that,
Speaker 1: and I want to be really, really positive. But I
Speaker 1: hope we're there in a festive mood. You know, we
Speaker 1: can talk about the future any positive light or you know,
Speaker 1: deal with the aftermath to the extent Kamala Harris wins.
Speaker 1: You know, misery does love company, and it'd be nice
Speaker 1: to perhaps sharing a Dolt beverage with folks as we
Speaker 1: assess the aftermath of a blown outcome that didn't go
Speaker 1: in our direction, assuming that the vast majority of listener
Speaker 1: lunch attendees want Trump to win, which I can only presume. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Ronzo is always good, So let's see the celebrator commiserate
Speaker 1: regardless together next Wednesday. I hope to see you there.
Speaker 1: And I know one of the concerns lots of people
Speaker 1: are expressing, and everybody I talk to, you know, more
Speaker 1: off the record than on the record, although people are
Speaker 1: feel free to call in. I know Bobby has his
Speaker 1: beliefs about what's going to happen in the aftermath of
Speaker 1: the election. But many are expecting violence, and that really
Speaker 1: is very troubling and worrisome because what have we seen
Speaker 1: in the past. Violence where to come from? The vast
Speaker 1: majority of it from the left. Go through your litany
Speaker 1: of groups outside funded and otherwise that took to the streaks.
Speaker 1: You've got ANTIFI, Black Lives Matter, you know, the Palace
Speaker 1: to Antiower, Anti Israeli camps. Many are expecting this is
Speaker 1: something I predicted a long time ago, and I hope
Speaker 1: to hell it and everything I've got, I hope it
Speaker 1: is not true that the illegal immigrants, you know, Donald
Speaker 1: Trump yesterday just over in Madison Square Gardens, I'm here,
Speaker 1: he said, I'm here by conk with a death penalty
Speaker 1: or any migrant that kills an American citizen law enforcement officer.
Speaker 1: I will rescue every city in town that's been invaded
Speaker 1: and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty
Speaker 1: criminals in jail. Going to kick them the hell out
Speaker 1: of our country as fast as possible, and expedite removals
Speaker 1: of Tredy Iragua and other savage gangs like MS thirteen,
Speaker 1: which is equally vicious I will invoke the alien enemy
Speaker 1: zac As seventeen ninety eight. Now, obviously he is focusing
Speaker 1: on the criminal element of the illegal immigrant population, but
Speaker 1: you know, there's a whole lot of them, and if
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is threatening deportation on any level, that makes
Speaker 1: a huge number of folks who are by many people's accounts,
Speaker 1: probably going to become highly organized if Trump gets elected
Speaker 1: and take to the streets. It isn't a shocking prediction.
Speaker 1: I hope it's not true, though. Rass Newsen did a poll.
Speaker 1: How likely is that there will be violent reaction after
Speaker 1: the election of Kamala Harris? Fifty one percent likely, twenty
Speaker 1: six percent very likely that will there will be a
Speaker 1: violence if Harris is elected. Rassmussen found this no the
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent not likely, eleven said they are not sure.
Speaker 1: Flipping it over, what about if President Donald Trump wins
Speaker 1: the White House? Forty seven percent said violence is likely,
Speaker 1: noted that's actually lower, twenty three percent said very, forty
Speaker 1: four percent not likely, eight percent not sure. They also
Speaker 1: asked voters whether most this is a good good one
Speaker 1: here at least there's some bipart is an agreement out
Speaker 1: in the world generally, Whether most news media outlets report
Speaker 1: about politics in a way that tends to make America
Speaker 1: more united or more divided. Only ten percent said more united,
Speaker 1: seventy nine percent said more divided. In terms of party breakdown,
Speaker 1: not too far away, you got eighty four percent of Republicans,
Speaker 1: seventy percent of Democrats, and eighty three percent of unaffiliated
Speaker 1: voters say the way that most news media outlets report
Speaker 1: about politics tends to make America more divided. See look
Speaker 1: at that a whole full expression of bipartisanship. Now, if
Speaker 1: you ask the Democrats versus the Republicans, you put them
Speaker 1: in separate rooms, I'm sure they'd have different perceptions about
Speaker 1: how the media makes it more divided. Democrats are probably
Speaker 1: pointing over to Fox News, while Republicans can literally report
Speaker 1: to almost every other news media outlet to well prove
Speaker 1: their point. Among those who said they planned to vote
Speaker 1: for Harris, seventy one percent said it's at least someone
Speaker 1: likely there'll be a violent reaction if the vice president wins,
Speaker 1: and fifty six percent of Trump voters says it's likely
Speaker 1: there'll be a violent reaction if the former president wins.
Speaker 1: So a little more pessimism when it comes to Harris,
Speaker 1: when now that suggests that I suppose that all this
Speaker 1: baked into the media argument that these Republicans are violent extremists,
Speaker 1: are the ones going to be taken to the street.
Speaker 1: I haven't really seen any evidence of that. And there's
Speaker 1: somebody out in the audience going what about January sixth?
Speaker 1: And I say, yeah, what about January sixth? Did the
Speaker 1: election not get certified?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 1: That's right. We have been living under a Biden Harris administration.
Speaker 1: How long did that protest last? Was it a day?
Speaker 1: How long would the Antifa and the BLM camps and
Speaker 1: other various left wing organized camps in camped and embedded
Speaker 1: in various cities. There's still around in a lot of them,
Speaker 1: cities that went through the whole defund the police movement
Speaker 1: and all that decriminalized drugs, all that they're living the
Speaker 1: aftermath of that, and they're going the polar opposite direction
Speaker 1: after living with it for so long. And rat News
Speaker 1: in terms of race, rast News and survey found of
Speaker 1: black voters more likely to expect violent reactions if Harris
Speaker 1: wins the election. Hispanics are more likely to think a
Speaker 1: Trump victory would provoke a violent reaction, So lots of
Speaker 1: folks anticipating it. Sadly, I'm one that's kind of leaning
Speaker 1: on that. I don't really truly believe that if Harris wins,
Speaker 1: that the Trump supporters will actually take to the streets.
Speaker 1: But time will, in fact tell. Five six fifty five
Speaker 1: ko City Talk Station got some local stories to dive
Speaker 1: on into coming up next day right here, fifty five
Speaker 1: Karo City Talk Station.
Speaker 9: Don Junior here, guys, are you receiving letters from the
Speaker 9: irs claiming you owe back taxes?
Speaker 1: As penalties and interest fees pile up the five point
Speaker 1: thirty on a Monday? Like it or not? Is this Monday?
Speaker 1: I like it because we get to talk to Christopher Smithman.
Speaker 1: That happened at seven to twenty this morning, former Vice Mayor.
Speaker 1: Monday Monday, as is always the case on Monday, with
Speaker 1: the exception of vacation, and today the special edition with
Speaker 1: Sharon Coolidge coming up after the top of the hour news,
Speaker 1: variety of local city issues, some of which may make
Speaker 1: me a little bit upset, certainly do me. Anyway, Let's
Speaker 1: go to the phone before we get the local stories.
Speaker 1: Thank you for calling this morning, Jeff, and a happy
Speaker 1: Monday to you. Happy thank you brother.
Speaker 10: Quick comment regarding the deporting illegals. Yeah, Trump should take
Speaker 10: about one hundred Boeing seven eighths, load them up, run.
Speaker 11: Out of fuel, or loosen a few door.
Speaker 10: Poles, drop them off over the golf of Mexico.
Speaker 1: Jeez, I can't abide. Although you know, if it was
Speaker 1: funny if you said Boeing seven thirty seven max aralines,
Speaker 1: because you wouldn't have to rig them, you just set
Speaker 1: them off in the air and they probably would crash
Speaker 1: on their own. But no, don't advocate violence or the
Speaker 1: extermination of people merely because they're illegally in our country.
Speaker 1: Deporting them, however, maybe a good idea. And yes, let's
Speaker 1: start with criminals. We live in a country where criminal
Speaker 1: elements from Venezuela have taken over entire hotel buildings. That's
Speaker 1: a scary situation right there. I mean, that is scary.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thanks to the Biden Harris administration, a amber
Speaker 1: hunt since they enquired don't steal yard signs, Okay, it's illegal.
Speaker 1: She write's penalties are somewhat minor or less. The theft
Speaker 1: is on a broad scale, I guess coordinated efforts or
Speaker 1: one person going out and stealing hundreds of signs or something.
Speaker 1: Ohio thefts of the yard signs are misdemeanors until they
Speaker 1: reached the one thousand dollars limit. Kentucky, most political sign
Speaker 1: thefts we classified as Class B misdemeanors. According to a
Speaker 1: piece written in twenty twenty two by Campbell Catty attorney
Speaker 1: Steve Friends and relied upon by Amber Hunt reddit thread
Speaker 1: this week discussing Cincinnati area thefts, some people are being
Speaker 1: a little creative on how to stop it from happening.
Speaker 1: She referred to them as unsavory homemade options in an
Speaker 1: effort to mark, embarrass or inconvenience thieves, including coating yard
Speaker 1: signs with vasolene and glitter, spraying them with fox or
Speaker 1: deer yarine ooh, attaching trackers to them. It was a
Speaker 1: case from Missouri where someone did that, put an apple
Speaker 1: little tracker on it and was able to track down
Speaker 1: the person who stole the signs, as well as motion
Speaker 1: activated lights or cameras near the signs. So in the
Speaker 1: final analysis, don't be that person stealing yard signs. You
Speaker 1: may be held accountable, and of course if you are,
Speaker 1: you're at least going to be revealed as perhaps someone
Speaker 1: who qualifies for the Biggest Duche of the Universe award.
Speaker 1: Here on the fifty five Case Morning Show, we got
Speaker 1: one person hospitalized early Saturday morning after his shooting. It
Speaker 1: over the Rye Corn of SINCINNTI. Police it was happening
Speaker 1: around one am and the fifteen block of fifteen hundred
Speaker 1: block of Vine Street near Liberty Street intersection. Police set
Speaker 1: a person at life threatening injuries after the shooting. Didn't
Speaker 1: say if they had any suspects or what led up
Speaker 1: to the shooting. That's the most recent reporting we have
Speaker 1: on that seven year old is dead after police say
Speaker 1: they were hit by a forklift on private property in Carthage.
Speaker 1: Happened Friday afternoon. Said since a police officers responded the
Speaker 1: area of the two undre block or West North Bend

Speaker 1: Here's another one. A five year old win Hills Academy
Speaker 1: student dead after he was shot during a drive by

Speaker 1: Say Public Schools issued to statements of the district's crisis
Speaker 1: response team is at the school on Thursday for students

Speaker 1: of a five year old off the streets? Dennis, you're
Speaker 1: first out of the gate when I come back. If
Speaker 1: you don't mind holding for just a moment, I'll give
Speaker 1: you some good information Affordable medical imaging for CT scans,
Speaker 1: echo cardiograms, ultrasounds. You know it's just insane with the
Speaker 1: hospital imaging department charges. You know you got out of
Speaker 1: pocket responsibility. You've got minimums you have to pay out
Speaker 1: of pocket, and let's just say, because it's open rollming,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be kicking in the beginning of the year
Speaker 1: your doctor as a CT scan. Do you have five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in your bank account to just write a
Speaker 1: check to the hospital for that? Why you exhaust your
Speaker 1: nine thousand plus dollars of out of pocket responsibility? Of course,
Speaker 1: who does and who wants to and you don't have to.
Speaker 1: You have a choice when it comes to your medical care.
Speaker 1: You can get a CT scan and affordable imaging services
Speaker 1: for four hundred and fifty dollars and it includes the
Speaker 1: radiologist report. You got a board certified radiologist report that
Speaker 1: you and your doc will both get within forty eight hours,
Speaker 1: exactly like mine did. Yes, the overhead is extraordinarily low,
Speaker 1: but you've got the same equipment and affordable imaging services
Speaker 1: professionals who've been doing this for forty years. And the
Speaker 1: image is gonna be fine. Mine was except for the
Speaker 1: fact that revealed my cancer was growing again. But there's
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with the image of the report. Your doctor
Speaker 1: will say the same thing when they get it back,
Speaker 1: So don't pay two thousand dollars for an ultrasound, pay

Speaker 1: dot com for podcast and the iHeartMedia app Dennis, thanks
Speaker 1: for holding over the break and for calling this morning.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Hey.
Speaker 13: I voted last week in the early voting, and I
Speaker 13: found a real glitch that you know, I can kind
Speaker 13: of what does that make the election margin too small
Speaker 13: to rig or guaranteed to be rigged by being too
Speaker 13: small a margin? But anyway, I was looking over the
Speaker 13: ballot that I submitted and it got kicked by the machine.
Speaker 13: The machine that was doing accounting indicated that my selection
Speaker 13: for prosecuting attorney had two or both of the candidates
Speaker 13: marked off. Yeah, clearly, I only marked off one of them.
Speaker 13: And I noticed that the ballot was printed with a
Speaker 13: little bit of what looked like pen marks, like you
Speaker 13: might get with a pen that ran out of ink
Speaker 13: on the alternative candidate. So it kicked the ballot out,
Speaker 13: and I was told, first, oh, you can just let
Speaker 13: it go through. Everything else will be counted. Don't worry
Speaker 13: about the prosecutor's office at a provacation. Tell me about that.
Speaker 1: Wheeze. Yeah, I don't worry about that. Well, the fact
Speaker 1: that it goted. I take some comfort in the fact
Speaker 1: that got kicked out. I accidentally last time I voted,
Speaker 1: I accidentally made a little tiny mark on a candidate.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to and I tried to erase it,
Speaker 1: you know, you can't really eraise pen but it looked
Speaker 1: like it was gone, and I wanted to submit it.
Speaker 1: They said, no, it looks like you voted for two
Speaker 1: candidates in the same race. They gave me new ballot.
Speaker 1: I filled it out, and they just destroyed the old ones.
Speaker 1: So that, to me is a sign that the system
Speaker 1: is working. That the ballot had been printed with a
Speaker 1: flaw is terrible. And if it didn't catch it and
Speaker 1: they processed it and didn't count your vote like the
Speaker 1: apparently the poll workers suggested that's a problem, but at
Speaker 1: least it got kicked out.
Speaker 13: Well, the problem is that it was printed that way.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 13: No, And after me, a lady came, a young lady
Speaker 13: came to the same accounting machine. Her ballot got kicked out,
Speaker 13: and she was told, you know, you can just The
Speaker 13: first things they offered was you can have the rest
Speaker 13: of your ballot counted. You just won't have the prosecutor's office.
Speaker 13: I mean, this is right after I'm going back to
Speaker 13: get my ballot replace, but just let it go through
Speaker 13: or as a lost vote for Melissa Powers.
Speaker 1: Or you asked for another ballot and you start over again,
Speaker 1: which is what you did, right, Yeah.
Speaker 13: Which takes about fifteen minutes if you're if you're inclined.
Speaker 13: But some of the younger voters have achieve my goal
Speaker 13: in life, which is to be a cranky old man.
Speaker 1: Well played, Dennis, But I'll still go back to the fact.
Speaker 1: Although I don't like the instructions and I don't like
Speaker 1: that they give you the option to just let the
Speaker 1: error go and the vote not be counted. It is
Speaker 1: an option, but you had the option to get the
Speaker 1: new ballot, and of course I blame whoever printed them
Speaker 1: to the extent they were printed that way. Obviously it's
Speaker 1: a problem. Is there something that farious befind it behind it?
Speaker 1: I don't know. One is left to speculate in these
Speaker 1: trying times that perhaps that was done intentionally, But in
Speaker 1: the final analysis, you got one that worked that was
Speaker 1: not printed that way. So I think, you know, as
Speaker 1: long as you're willing to wait around for another few
Speaker 1: more minutes to get your ballot and do it again,
Speaker 1: that's the direction I go. So I kind of view
Speaker 1: it as a sign that the system actually worked for
Speaker 1: the most part, but for the ballot printing part. Pete,
Speaker 1: welcome to the program. Happy Monday to you.
Speaker 2: Happy Monday. Brian.
Speaker 8: On the sign of thieves, there's one guy who is
Speaker 8: famous on YouTube. He tried to steal when if somebody
Speaker 8: had electrified. Oh shows him getting the shock of a lifetime.
Speaker 6: Oh.
Speaker 3: I don't recommend that.
Speaker 8: Well I don't either, but the guy sure got a
Speaker 8: shock out of.
Speaker 1: It, I bet, but I'm bud.
Speaker 2: A quick question.
Speaker 8: If the violence happens, do they think it'll be after
Speaker 8: January twentieth, they're just right immediately after the election. You
Speaker 8: have any ideas on that.
Speaker 1: If I had to guess, I think if Trump wins,
Speaker 1: it's going to be like the pink hat wearing ladies
Speaker 1: that came out after he got elected the first time around.
Speaker 1: It's going to be immediate to some degree. And I
Speaker 1: am certain in this world we live in, with non
Speaker 1: governmental organizations and dark money and evil, nefarious forces on
Speaker 1: the left funding all of these different occupy and protest
Speaker 1: things for the last multiple years, that you're probably going
Speaker 1: to see it sooner rather than later. You know, why
Speaker 1: wait for Trump to get sworn in. They're going to
Speaker 1: hit this streets, they get the people all ginned up.
Speaker 1: There will be law fair. The Democrats have lawyers and
Speaker 1: thousands of them in every single state, and they will
Speaker 1: certainly run into court claiming the vote has been stolen.
Speaker 1: Sound familiar, Yeah, but it only depends on whose ox
Speaker 1: is getting gord. So I think you'll see a build
Speaker 1: up and then that will lead to a huge amount
Speaker 1: of problems right around the certification time. And as we
Speaker 1: all know, as Vice President Kamala Harris will be responsible
Speaker 1: for certifying the vote, there's a lot of question marks
Speaker 1: swirling around out there whether she'll do it or not,
Speaker 1: Pence did it, will Kamala Harris do it? And a
Speaker 1: lot of protests and violence in the street would probably
Speaker 1: lead to the point where they're going to come up
Speaker 1: with some justification for her. Maybe not certify the vote.
Speaker 1: Wait for the chaosk if your popcorn out, be prepared, folks.
Speaker 1: Just consider that so many people in the know are
Speaker 1: talking about it happening that you can almost guarantee that
Speaker 1: something is going to happen, and it will probably be
Speaker 1: life of disrupting for quite a few folks. Sha the call,
Speaker 1: my friend, I truly do. You can feel free to
Speaker 1: call us well, I'll be right back. When I mentioned

Speaker 1: What's the best place to reach? You're going to go
Speaker 1: straight to the phones before I get to this deck
Speaker 1: and stupid simming. I don't get more phone callers beyond
Speaker 1: Mark Mark, thanks for calling this MORNINGOD.
Speaker 7: Morning, Brian real quick one of my wife's customers. She's
Speaker 7: an older lady, about eighty years old. She's a volunteer
Speaker 7: poll worker and was going through training and a couple
Speaker 7: things that paid hold her and had her sign. One
Speaker 7: of them was signing a piece of paper that if
Speaker 7: the polling place was to catch on fire, that they
Speaker 7: pledged that the poll workers pledged to try to remove
Speaker 7: an item from the polling location, And which strikes me
Speaker 7: is very or something you know, something that is of
Speaker 7: equipment or along those lines. You can take that for
Speaker 7: what it's worth. But the other thing was was recently,
Speaker 7: I guess last week they are short on Republican poll watchers,
Speaker 7: and whoever was conducting the training or the meeting, whatever
Speaker 7: you want to call it, asked if there was any
Speaker 7: Democrats that would pose as Republicans as a poll watcher,
Speaker 7: so that there were will do that poll watcher not
Speaker 7: worker difference, right, Ye, exactly, yeah, there.
Speaker 1: I don't believe there are rules and regulations so forth
Speaker 1: for poll watchers. There'll be someone who voluntarily takes it
Speaker 1: upon themselves to just be there to sort of provide
Speaker 1: some sort of physical presence there intimidating the other side
Speaker 1: into not cheating, and that works both ways. It's two
Speaker 1: a street on that. But uh yeah, I guess I
Speaker 1: can see an embedded Democrat as a you know, posing
Speaker 1: as a Republican poll watcher. To what effect and to
Speaker 1: what end? I suppose you'd have to have, you know,
Speaker 1: some shenanigans go on that would require them or invite
Speaker 1: them to perhaps make interject themselves into the equation. But
Speaker 1: that's what the poll workers are supposed to deal with.
Speaker 1: That is a job of a poll worker to resolve
Speaker 1: any disputes there. I suppose maybe they'll be there in
Speaker 1: case a brawl breaks out, who knows, But yeah, I've
Speaker 1: got to maintain that distinction between watcher and worker. So
Speaker 1: it doesn't shock me though to hear that you that
Speaker 1: someone said that. Anyhow, thank you very much for the call.
Speaker 1: Let's see, we got stack a stupid got a woman
Speaker 1: killed into what they describe as a freak accident and
Speaker 1: having at a Kansas airfield after she backed into a
Speaker 1: running airplane propeller while taking photos two what three pm
Speaker 1: Saturday over the weekend, says we kind of dispasto se
Speaker 1: to report about the accident. Having a Cook Airfield in Derby, Kansas.
Speaker 1: Deputies got to the scene, they located the woman, believed
Speaker 1: to be in her thirties, who have been critically injured
Speaker 1: while taking photographs of people getting on and off planes
Speaker 1: that at the time, she backed into an active airplane propeller.
Speaker 1: She died at the at the site, taking to the
Speaker 1: local hospital in extremely critical condition, and later succumbed to
Speaker 1: her injuries. Authorities currently investigating. Everybody expresses their condolences, of course,
Speaker 1: a go fund me page and another cautionary tale about
Speaker 1: paying attention to your surroundings when you're taking photographs, especially
Speaker 1: when there are propellers around. Man Oh Vegan woman's dead,
Speaker 1: thirty four year old Marie Street them Stritum, reached the
Speaker 1: final camp of the summit of Mount Everest before she
Speaker 1: and her husband, Robert Garbol both began signovering from high
Speaker 1: as suffering from high altitude pulmonary edemon which has caused
Speaker 1: fluid to build up in her brain. According to The
Speaker 1: Washington Post, her husband survived, taking into the Nepaul hospital
Speaker 1: for treatment. Thinks is okay. This striding woman had sought
Speaker 1: to sought to prove that she could scale the mountain
Speaker 1: while on a vegan diet. The Monash University lecturer told
Speaker 1: the university's blog. It seems that people have this warped
Speaker 1: idea of vegans being malnourished and weak, she said. By
Speaker 1: climbing in the seven Summits, we want to prove that
Speaker 1: vegans can do anything and more. No, thank your dad.
Speaker 1: Not exactly a scientific, you know, controlled study. How many
Speaker 1: vegans participated in this sounds like one did goes so well.

Speaker 1: the fifty five KRC Morning Shore reporting for the Cincinnati
Speaker 1: Inquirer on all things related to the City Council. Sharon Cooleidge,
Speaker 1: good you have back on the program. I hope you're well.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Cincinatti dot COM's refriend share.
Speaker 15: It's a couple crazy week over at city Hall.
Speaker 1: Yes it has. And thank you for enlightening us on
Speaker 1: this most recent article regarding the sixty five million dollars windfall.
Speaker 1: Something you really don't expect from the Cincinnati Council and
Speaker 1: the budgeting process they always go through, and it's dire
Speaker 1: and it's woe as me and the puncheon's underfunded. We're
Speaker 1: going to run out of money. We've got to sell
Speaker 1: a railroad. No, apparently not sixty five million dollars left
Speaker 1: over from last year's budget. That's a lot of money.
Speaker 15: Honestly, I can't keep up. It's sometimes to die. Your
Speaker 15: situation is sometimes there's a ton of money. It just
Speaker 15: honestly depends on the day. And I would say that
Speaker 15: line over there, and I cannot keep up. But yes,
Speaker 15: the carryover was sixty five million, and they have just
Speaker 15: been spending it over the last two weeks while I
Speaker 15: was working on a different story. So I really wanted
Speaker 15: to wrap it up all and let people know, you know,
Speaker 15: really what they're doing with it.
Speaker 1: Okay, and that's fair enough, and we can be critical
Speaker 1: maybe about some or maybe not others, but we can
Speaker 1: certainly look at each line item and wonder whether or
Speaker 1: not it's inappropriate use of art taxpayer dollars. But what
Speaker 1: you point out in the article is a little disturbing
Speaker 1: to me is that they, I mean, as you describe it,
Speaker 1: this carryover creates a quasi fall budget process without the
Speaker 1: special evening budget hearings where counsel, even where council invites
Speaker 1: the community to find out what the constituents want, they
Speaker 1: just kind of go on their own and decide on
Speaker 1: their own where this money goes.
Speaker 15: Well, of course, you're doing it in public meetings during
Speaker 15: the day. It's not even FYI my most to find
Speaker 15: out more information about all of the different things in there.
Speaker 15: I just call, like you know, I don't know ten
Speaker 15: people to sort it all out, which is my job,
Speaker 15: of course. But I really do think that citizens should
Speaker 15: be able to with a tap of a button really
Speaker 15: understand every single thing that's not a line item and
Speaker 15: a presentation that you can find in the system. This
Speaker 15: is a lot of money and has a lot of
Speaker 15: plans with this, taking the city in different directions, and
Speaker 15: I think that people really have a right to know.
Speaker 5: What that is.
Speaker 15: I mean, the idea that they're creating a fund for
Speaker 15: developers has gotten hardly barely a mentioned, barely a mentioned,
Speaker 15: and I think that people are very interested in that well.
Speaker 1: Of course, five and a half million dollars for housing fund,
Speaker 1: which you point out goes to developers seeking gap financing
Speaker 1: for housing projects. This on the heels of the city's
Speaker 1: rezoning basically the entire city of Cincinnati to accommodate more
Speaker 1: multifamily and multiple unit dwellings. Perhaps are those two connected.
Speaker 15: They certainly candy. They said, there's a multitude of projects
Speaker 15: in the pipeline this Friday after you, by the way,
Speaker 15: because normally I would it be like, well, what projects
Speaker 15: is that? We still might do that, But yes, those
Speaker 15: two things could be very very connected. We just we
Speaker 15: don't know. I mean there's a lot. They rolled back
Speaker 15: the residential abatements in a way that everyone was not
Speaker 15: happy about, and then on the heels of that, there
Speaker 15: was supposed to be an overhaul of commercial development abatements. Meanwhile,
Speaker 15: because everyone else is paying property more property Texans than
Speaker 15: ever before, stop me if you've heard that one before, ye,
Speaker 15: so come at that time. Then they never do anything.
Speaker 15: The residential abatements was so hard to get through and
Speaker 15: approve and change anything. They do nothing with the commercial abatements.
Speaker 15: Then the futurest Commission comes out and that really says
Speaker 15: we need one hundred million dollar fun housing. Housing. Housing is,
Speaker 15: of course, you know, very business friendly, and we do
Speaker 15: need housing. I will never not say that I get
Speaker 15: that we need affordable housing, meet all kinds of housing,
Speaker 15: but this is not what the citizens have said. They
Speaker 15: want that. They want to give it to developers just
Speaker 15: to build housing. And on top of that is I'm
Speaker 15: big into transparency. I want to know every time they
Speaker 15: give money to developers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 15: I just want to know what are they doing, what
Speaker 15: are the projects? And this fund really seems to take
Speaker 15: it out of the public eye. They're going to put
Speaker 15: it under the Cincinnati Development Fund. Yeah, make the decisions.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, so it really where the money is
Speaker 3: five and a half million you reported five and a
Speaker 3: half million is being handed over to the Cincinni Development Fund,
Speaker 3: which on its own will be allocating the money.
Speaker 1: Meaning, as you write, we're not the taxpayers, the voters
Speaker 1: are not going to be subject to a public vote.
Speaker 1: In other words, they're going to do whatever the hell
Speaker 1: they want. It is not you know, the council members
Speaker 1: aren't going to have to go on record for any
Speaker 1: project over another. That's all again, well I didn't do that.
Speaker 1: The Sinsori Development Fund did.
Speaker 15: It right, And we'll never even know, like what if
Speaker 15: it is, Like, it's not some giant housing development that
Speaker 15: we're like, okay, as you see and you're like, what
Speaker 15: is that? But I think a lot of these connected
Speaker 15: community projects are not necessarily going to be unless somebody's
Speaker 15: neighbor calls. They're meant to be, you know, on the
Speaker 15: outsports skirts of the neighborhood, and they're not meant to
Speaker 15: be big developments, so we might not even.
Speaker 5: Know this well.
Speaker 1: And it is interesting happening, isn't it interesting the predicate
Speaker 1: and the initial comment you made on that, which is true.
Speaker 1: There is a huge demand for housing affordable and otherwise.
Speaker 1: Demand usually is met by you know, entrepreneurial types who
Speaker 1: want to go in and make some money, meeting the
Speaker 1: demand that already exists out there. So I just I
Speaker 1: kind of wonder how it is that the taxpayer dollars
Speaker 1: have to go to any given project.
Speaker 15: You know, they do say over there it's hard to
Speaker 15: get financing. I mean, this is a flip side of it.
Speaker 15: Banks don't want to lend. Every project costs way more money,
Speaker 15: so it makes it hard to get your money back out.
Speaker 15: The developers do always come in and say they don't
Speaker 15: have any money, they can't afford it, and that's where
Speaker 15: the citizens come into help them.
Speaker 1: Well in these citizens, obviously this is being funded on
Speaker 1: their back since they didn't they didn't roll back the
Speaker 1: property taxes, and all of our properties have increased. You
Speaker 1: point out overall property values up twenty eight percent, taxes
Speaker 1: up twelve percent. So while the developers may lament their circumstance.
Speaker 1: This is a circumstance of this lack of funding and
Speaker 1: ability to meet ones. You know, day to day expenses
Speaker 1: is something that happens to every single resident in the
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati largely.
Speaker 15: You know, it really does. I mean a Facebook group
Speaker 15: where people are trying to get their taxes reduced, and
Speaker 15: it's a really kind of heartbreaking. It is the stories
Speaker 15: that you hear in that group, and you get the
Speaker 15: feeling they're working. People possibly not coming down to city
Speaker 15: Hall on Wednesdays during public comments to really.
Speaker 1: Give their feedback.
Speaker 15: But I think if you had a night meeting related
Speaker 15: to those or a night budgeteering and it's like, well
Speaker 15: should we give this who should we give this money too,
Speaker 15: I'm not sure that the answer would be this sixty
Speaker 15: five million.
Speaker 1: Right, I agree with you on that, Nor would I
Speaker 1: think the average resident of the city of Cincinnati want
Speaker 1: two and a half million to go to Woo the
Speaker 1: Sundance film festival that doesn't impact most people's lives on
Speaker 1: a day to day basis, And I'm sure two and
Speaker 1: a half million could be better spent elsewhere to serve
Speaker 1: the residents of the city. I guess the argument is, well,
Speaker 1: if we get Sundance, it's going to bring it a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of people. But this is just an advertising campaign.
Speaker 1: It's not going to guarantee that it's coming here. So
Speaker 1: the money's gone whether or not Cincinnati gets the Sundance.
Speaker 15: The money, well, I will say, maybe I should have
Speaker 15: been more clear about this. The money won't be spent
Speaker 15: unless we get it. It's the part of a much
Speaker 15: larger bid. Okay, I have to tell you because Louisville
Speaker 15: was in the running for a Sundance and they are
Speaker 15: not on the short list, and their business career career
Speaker 15: in Louisville had a story that seventy nine million dollars
Speaker 15: was not enough, so they had ported in everything. So
Speaker 15: they had put together some sort of bid. These bids
Speaker 15: are secrets, you know. They kind of come from the jobs,
Speaker 15: entities and things like that. And so they're trying to
Speaker 15: so we all spend that money and less Sundance gets here.
Speaker 15: And they are talking about a gigantic economic impact. And
Speaker 15: an interesting thing about Sundance is just not the film festival.
Speaker 15: But they moved their whole headquarters here and all of
Speaker 15: the regular jobs to come with Sundance, and so I
Speaker 15: think there's a lot more to explore here on that,
Speaker 15: but it goes with the same thing. It's like, just say,
Speaker 15: just say when you're putting forward to spending.
Speaker 1: I'll encourage my listeners to get a copy of the
Speaker 1: article and look at the breakdown, which I appreciate you doing.
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's sixty five million dollars windfall of support for Sundance,
Speaker 1: a developers, and a grocery store. Real quick here before
Speaker 1: we take a break, Sharon Coolis from the enquire I
Speaker 1: see that there's one point seventy five million of this
Speaker 1: windfall for Green Project Fund. I got a million dollars
Speaker 1: to help citizens, you know, make their homes more energy efficient,
Speaker 1: a quarter of a million for training workers to do
Speaker 1: green focused home assessments. And what disturbed me most was
Speaker 1: a half a million dollars to create a green Bank,
Speaker 1: which you described as an office that will serve as
Speaker 1: a pass through for federal money given to the state.
Speaker 1: So we have another layer of bureaucracy and another layer
Speaker 1: of employee salaried workers to help facilitate federal money getting
Speaker 1: out into the community.
Speaker 15: That was my understanding, but that seems to be a
Speaker 15: requirement to get the money the state. Actually I named
Speaker 15: it in the story the big name of escaping me.
Speaker 15: So the money flows to the federal government. It's five
Speaker 15: hundred million dollars to Ohio related to whatever the federal
Speaker 15: money is. And Mark Jeffrey and he has been talking
Speaker 15: about this. I will say this did not come at
Speaker 15: the last second. He's been talking a lot about this.
Speaker 15: Five hundred million dollars is going to be given to
Speaker 15: the state, and he wants Cincinnati to be up and
Speaker 15: ready to go. So you have to have all this
Speaker 15: preparatus kind of like requirements related to the money from
Speaker 15: the state and the federal government. And he's like, will
Speaker 15: be the only one ready to go, and so that
Speaker 15: first bite of the apple, we could stand to get
Speaker 15: a lot of money from it. Is kind of his point.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I.
Speaker 15: Have to tell you there's been a lot of discussion
Speaker 15: about this city all that I haven't covered.
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to getting the balance of the work.
Speaker 1: So I expect to read more on this down the road.
Speaker 1: On the enquire from Sharon Coole at Sharon, let's pause
Speaker 1: and find out spending money on Kamala Harris Road projects
Speaker 1: and some people not happy with Evan Nolan as the
Speaker 1: new council member. Be right back, just a moment with more.
Speaker 1: Sharon Coolidge. First, a word for my dear friends at
Speaker 1: Fasten pro Roofing. They were just so honest and such
Speaker 1: wonderful folks. Will take great care of you. It all
Speaker 1: starts with a free roof inspection, and they'll do that
Speaker 1: if you call them up to do some different projects,
Speaker 1: like I want new siding on my house. That's what
Speaker 1: my friend Steve said. They inspected his roof when they
Speaker 1: were over there and lo and behold, oh you got
Speaker 1: some problems up here. Obviously you couldn't see them, but
Speaker 1: those latent problems could have gotten really bad for Steve.
Speaker 1: So if they were able to take care of that
Speaker 1: for him, he was so pleased. Referred them to his
Speaker 1: son who was gushing water down during that most recent
Speaker 1: torrential downpar You know, he told call fast and Pro Roofing.
Speaker 1: After you put the bucket underneath it, get the water.
Speaker 1: He figured, yeah, you're going to take you break, maybe
Speaker 1: three days for them to get out there. They were
Speaker 1: out there in the rain taking care of that leak.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just immediate customer service and that's the
Speaker 1: kind of thing you can expect from these folks. A
Speaker 1: plus with a better business. Beeer locally owned and operated,
Speaker 1: probably serving the area since nineteen ninety nine. They do gutters,
Speaker 1: gutter guards. We'll clean your gutters out. Do that before
Speaker 1: wintertime so you don't get an ice dam and they
Speaker 1: can all of your ice damp problems in the winner
Speaker 1: to all exterior projects rules of any type, both residential
Speaker 1: and commercial. And it's superior work. I assure you of that,
Speaker 1: including custom metal work five one three seven seven four
Speaker 1: ninety four ninety five for that free inspection five one
Speaker 1: three seven seven four ninety four ninety five. Online it's
Speaker 1: fasten FST and Fastenproroofing dot Com.
Speaker 14: Fifty five KRC unless you've been touched.
Speaker 1: Six twenty two fifty five Krcity talk station. We just
Speaker 1: stretched the surface of the sixty five million dollars windfall
Speaker 1: expenditures with Sharon Coolidgman the Cincinni Enquirer. Again, it's worthy
Speaker 1: looking at the breakdown of where that money is going
Speaker 1: to go is reflective of well certain political perspectives. Moving
Speaker 1: over talk about political perspectives, this is shameless. It doesn't
Speaker 1: matter which side of the political edge you're on in
Speaker 1: terms of spending taxpayer dollars to change the naming of
Speaker 1: the signs crediting Joe Biden for upcoming road projects and
Speaker 1: substituting that with Kamala Harris's name. Sharon, I must observe
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's still president, and if he's still president, does
Speaker 1: shouldn't he still get credit for the projects being done,
Speaker 1: even if it's necessary to give someone credit for it? Sharon, So, I.
Speaker 15: Mean, he is still on the side. And they changed it,
Speaker 15: and they changed the design, being very clear about this,
Speaker 15: they changed the design to say Biden Harris. But that
Speaker 15: is really what made it so interesting is that at
Speaker 15: the last second they added her name. The what side
Speaker 15: of that, she was still the vice president when they
Speaker 15: designed the signs a much earlier in the year and
Speaker 15: they're getting ready to put them up, and they were like, well,
Speaker 15: he signed the law, we're going to give him credit.
Speaker 15: And this was really flowing down and nobody really made
Speaker 15: any secret about this. They all the US Department of Transportation,
Speaker 15: the White House itself, like spokespeople for these agents. You
Speaker 15: feel like, this is about transparency, this is what we're
Speaker 15: going to do.
Speaker 1: Yet earlier in the year when.
Speaker 15: It came time to do all of this, which was
Speaker 15: asked of these agencies, of all of the cities, not
Speaker 15: just Cincinnati, UH, to do all these urban you know,
Speaker 15: cities that are very blue. Right, and then they felt
Speaker 15: like they needed to addvert and then.
Speaker 1: After right after Biden got the plug pulled although he
Speaker 1: is still president. Isn't it interesting that the request to
Speaker 1: spend this money was brought to you by, of course
Speaker 1: the Biden Harris administration. It wasn't necessary, but as you
Speaker 1: point out in the reporting, it was done to score
Speaker 1: brownie points with with with the administration. Ah, if you
Speaker 1: capitulate to our request to give Biden and now Harris
Speaker 1: credit for the projects that will inure to your benefit. Nudge, nudge,
Speaker 1: wink wink.
Speaker 15: You know what I have to tell you after everything
Speaker 15: we've been through, and I think all of your listeners
Speaker 15: know related to text messages, yet don't see that much
Speaker 15: stuff in text messages when you get a public records
Speaker 15: or quest for emails. Keep every once in a while,
Speaker 15: something slips through people themselves a lot. Even I'm like,
Speaker 15: don't text me that call me. We try not to
Speaker 15: text a lot. Those things are public record in Ohio.
Speaker 15: We know that, but you know, when you're reading these
Speaker 15: messages coming in from different sources, there was a lot there.
Speaker 1: To look at it a lot, yes, and again I
Speaker 1: go back to the just to score brownie points. Taxpayer
Speaker 1: dollars should be spent to do an ad campaign for
Speaker 1: where credit to give credit anyway? Pivoting over will just
Speaker 1: suggus say.
Speaker 15: Ad campaign, get me out?
Speaker 1: I know, and that's well, it's what it is. I
Speaker 1: would argue Evan Nolan. He spent he replaced Mika Owens,
Speaker 1: it was her selection. He's been sworn in, and there
Speaker 1: was some outrage amongst certain members of the black community
Speaker 1: because of course Nolan is white. Harris who has position
Speaker 1: he took his black and also remember which I don't
Speaker 1: think matters, but of the LGBTQ community. I'm a live
Speaker 1: and let live kind of guy. I don't think that
Speaker 1: has anything to do with representation and a representative government.
Speaker 1: But that really irks some people, including folks on the NAACP,
Speaker 1: expressing disappointment and profoundly disheartened by her decision to appoint
Speaker 1: apparently a white guy. It's a harmful message. Are we
Speaker 1: looking for competence and capability. By all accounts, he does
Speaker 1: have the competence and ability to be council member.
Speaker 15: Absolutely, this really isn't about him.
Speaker 2: That.
Speaker 15: It's not about that. It really is about what the
Speaker 15: citizen mandate is. And I won't say was upset. We're
Speaker 15: going to still say is upset, Like this conversation is persisting.
Speaker 15: People are like in the black community and LGBTQ, they
Speaker 15: really would like to see representation of themselves. And their
Speaker 15: argument is, and there's some interesting statistics here, is that
Speaker 15: the citizens said they wanted the seat to be held
Speaker 15: by a black man. So if you go back to
Speaker 15: twenty twenty one, this is the overhaul of council. Right,
Speaker 15: they're on the heels of corrupt. Everybody's going to be
Speaker 15: all new, everyone's term limited out. The citizens for the
Speaker 15: very first time chose a majority black city council and
Speaker 15: that was very important in the black community. But then
Speaker 15: you look at the makeup of who council is and
Speaker 15: it almost is like the slaves kind of carried the day.
Speaker 15: So this was a very interesting mix of people put
Speaker 15: forward by the Democratic Party, a very balanced council. But
Speaker 15: when you look at what citizens did when they went
Speaker 15: in the ballot box, the top five vote getters were
Speaker 15: the black members of council and that, and so they're
Speaker 15: kind of like, this is what citizens said, Meika, and
Speaker 15: by the way, you benefited from the slate yourself, and
Speaker 15: so that's kind of their points. They're like, we are
Speaker 15: interested in this, but we are representing the citizens, and
Speaker 15: this is what the citizens said. So that's kind of
Speaker 15: the argument that's being made. However, Meka is the sole
Speaker 15: decision maker, and I think we're going to see a
Speaker 15: change in how appointments this company, you know, for some
Speaker 15: reason can't fulfill their duties. I think that we will
Speaker 15: see a change to that process.
Speaker 1: Well, I would like to see a change in this
Speaker 1: whole idea that identity politics is important and that merit
Speaker 1: or a confidence and capability is less important than filling
Speaker 1: in blanks on race and sexuality. But then again, that's
Speaker 1: just me. I want the best possible candidate running, and
Speaker 1: maybe Mika decided after interviewing the various folks that were
Speaker 1: submitted by the Democrat Party that mister Nolan, Evan Nolan
Speaker 1: was the best.
Speaker 15: Well, it was a very short interview process. She said
Speaker 15: that they have to get back to business. It's really busy. Now,
Speaker 15: I might argue that, yes, they have been doing a
Speaker 15: lot of things the last couple of weeks, but that's
Speaker 15: not exactly. There's a huge danger of City Hall of
Speaker 15: things being five four For instance, the carryover money, yeah,
Speaker 15: like two buckets of that I think is with one
Speaker 15: week discussions, and those I believe for unanimous votes. I
Speaker 15: guess I couldn't say that for sure, but they certainly
Speaker 15: weren't close votes, and so we're never in danger of
Speaker 15: five to four over there. So much everything passes unanimously.
Speaker 1: I just observe it. It's not like Mika selected Liz
Speaker 1: Keating to take the seat back over. She did stick
Speaker 1: with her own party, and I have to imagine we'll
Speaker 1: give Evans some time to prove his competence or not.
Speaker 1: But I just find it and.
Speaker 15: We'll have it, because the process is you finish out
Speaker 15: the time. It doesn't even say a lot of places are.
Speaker 15: If it's like not halfway through and everything, then you
Speaker 15: have to have a special election because somebody shouldn't be
Speaker 15: filling that term for such a long period of time.
Speaker 15: But not not that there's no special election, So he's
Speaker 15: finishing out more than a year term.
Speaker 1: We'll still get a little more than a year an
Speaker 1: opportunity to decide whether or not it did a good
Speaker 1: job or not. Sharon Coolidge, good luck, good luck, and
Speaker 1: good one figuring out the ballot of those expenditures. I'll
Speaker 1: be looking forward to your more in depth reporting on

Speaker 16: In the back of my mind, I'm always thinking, what
Speaker 16: is the deep state?
Speaker 1: What is big tech?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 16: What does the state run media mob you know have
Speaker 16: in store for Donald Trump in these final eighteen days,
Speaker 16: you just never know. And after all we've been through
Speaker 16: in sixteen and twenty, you know you like, For example,
Speaker 16: in Hunter Bryden's laptop in twenty twenty fifty one, former
Speaker 16: Intel officials say it looks like Russian again.
Speaker 1: They didn't even look at the laptop.
Speaker 16: They just got a call from wink and Tony Blinken
Speaker 16: and Joe Biden desperately needed a talking point to say, oh,
Speaker 16: it has all the markings of Russian disinformation. The strategy,
Speaker 16: the closing argument for the Democrats now is I hate Trump.
Speaker 16: Trump is the embodiment of evil or Joylis Behart. Trump
Speaker 16: is a fascist. He wants to send in the military
Speaker 16: to kill liberals.
Speaker 1: Oh he doesn't.
Speaker 17: Check out the Sean Hannity radio show later today right.
Speaker 18: Here, Hey everyone, Biden may have dropped out of the race,
Speaker 18: but he's not done just yet. Will he jam through
Speaker 18: his hidden tax trap at the last second, right before
Speaker 18: he goes where he could raid your retirement funds, supercharge
Speaker 18: your income taxes, increase utility and gas prices, and inflate
Speaker 18: costs on things you need to live. Some or all
Speaker 18: of this could affect you or your family in one
Speaker 18: way or another. So if you want to wait and see,

Speaker 1: In terms of the some of the projects we didn't
Speaker 1: talk about with Sharon Ah, So you got the Green
Speaker 1: Project fuone which we we touched on a little bit.
Speaker 1: Two million dollars to redesign Gilbert Avenue, apparently part of
Speaker 1: a larger fourteen million dollar project which will create protected
Speaker 1: bike lanes and better pedestrian safety for people attending this
Speaker 1: Cincinnati ballet. A million dollars for pedestrian safety and a
Speaker 1: bike program initiatives to be used when needed safety problems
Speaker 1: arrived half a million dollars to help pay for a
Speaker 1: mortar headquarters building, apparently more to provides training and support
Speaker 1: from minority owned businesses. It's building a new headquarters in
Speaker 1: Walnut Hills. Seems we have a lot of empty buildings
Speaker 1: in space that might be utilized. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know who's riding their bike to the ballet, Joe,
Speaker 1: I really don't. I don't think people wear tuxes to
Speaker 1: the ballet anymore. It's twenty twenty four. I imagine you
Speaker 1: see a lot of jeans and sweaters these days. A
Speaker 1: million three in capital Reserve projects. So you got more
Speaker 1: than half a million dollars for repairs of Cincinnati parks,
Speaker 1: quarter of million dollars for keep Cincinnati Beautiful so they
Speaker 1: can acquire their own headquarters. On top of a quarter
Speaker 1: of million dollars they got last year speed cushions for
Speaker 1: Coleraine Avenue, more than three hundred thousand for City Hall
Speaker 1: res renovations. They're going to be used that money to
Speaker 1: create a break room for say, the staff, and to
Speaker 1: revamp a presentation room where they hold press conferences half
Speaker 1: a million dollars now that we have to pay that
Speaker 1: we don't we didn't used to have to pay because
Speaker 1: rather than sell the new police firearms back to Smith
Speaker 1: and Wesson, Uh, they're going to be destroyed now at
Speaker 1: a cost of a half a million dollars for acquiring
Speaker 1: new police handguns uh and not reselling them. So they
Speaker 1: dug you into the whole half a million dollars to
Speaker 1: virtue signal about gun violence or something one point four
Speaker 1: million for Talburt House, which I guess I can understand,
Speaker 1: and a whole multitude of others, including funding for CINCINNT
Speaker 1: police officer pay, firefighter pay. They've thrown some money at
Speaker 1: the pension, although I don't know that it is anything
Speaker 1: near what's needed to well provide adequate pension funding. And
Speaker 1: most of these seemingly projects hand selected by the mayor
Speaker 1: govern six point thirty seven to fifty five kc DE

Speaker 1: nine fifty eight hundred eighty two to three talk a
Speaker 1: amo time the heck twenty two three right forty two

Speaker 1: reppointed time at eight oh five meantime. Over the phones,
Speaker 1: we got a couple of callers online. Always enjoy talking
Speaker 1: to you, So let's talk let's start with Denash, thanks
Speaker 1: for calling this morning.
Speaker 19: Happy Monday, Happy Monday to Brian. Brian, I got a
Speaker 19: news from a whistleblower, Garry Bernstein, an XCI agent who
Speaker 19: has put out a video and a website explaining how
Speaker 19: the foreign entities have been controlling the US elections. And
Speaker 19: it's very detailed information, really pulling the blanket over all
Speaker 19: the corruption that's been taking place in the electronic voting
Speaker 19: machine systems. And what he has done is validated doctor Corcy,
Speaker 19: doctor Purquette, and also Jeffrey O'Donnell, who had put out
Speaker 19: their websites recently in the last two months explaining that
Speaker 19: they there's something seriously wrong with the computer systems being
Speaker 19: used to not only in Ohio, but in every state
Speaker 19: of the US and territory. And as doctor course he's
Speaker 19: finding out, and doctor Briquett, every state that they have
Speaker 19: reviewed the Secretary of States voter registration ragization roles databases,
Speaker 19: they have reported activity of computerized manipulation and it's been
Speaker 19: going on, according to Gary Bernstein, since two thousand and three.
Speaker 19: And it's amazing how detailed information he has provided on
Speaker 19: his website to support his reports.
Speaker 1: What solutions are recommended. Is this all have to do
Speaker 1: with the dominion voting system?
Speaker 19: With every voting system, doesn't matter which company, they're all
Speaker 19: using the same source of computer source code one way
Speaker 19: or the other.
Speaker 1: Well, is this the type of thing that Dave Hatter
Speaker 1: talks about all the time, that they're not thinking first
Speaker 1: about security when designing systems or thinking about you know,
Speaker 1: accomplishing tabulating votes, but leaving holes in the computer programming
Speaker 1: and and and open, not intentionally perhaps maybe intentionally, don't know,
Speaker 1: but just not focusing enough on security when trying to
Speaker 1: to to to accomplish the task, which fundamentally is counting votes.
Speaker 19: Well, it's it's more than just negligent or incompetency. It
Speaker 19: is actually what, according to Garry Bunstein, is showing is
Speaker 19: a deliberate interference from commerce China and down all these
Speaker 19: other countries Siberia that really organized this system.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in Russia, But I guess now, who's going to
Speaker 1: point to this flaw? And we'll just assume for the
Speaker 1: sake of discussion that they're accurate and that therefore the
Speaker 1: vote can be manipulated from outside. What if Trump wins,
Speaker 1: is that still the truth is still the case? Because
Speaker 1: I know by all the apparently all our lettered agencies
Speaker 1: like the FBI say that Russia wants Trump to win,
Speaker 1: whereas Iran and North Korea and maybe China want Harris
Speaker 1: to win or something. So if it's open to corruption
Speaker 1: on both sides and both sides have different end games,
Speaker 1: do we all question the election regardless of who's declared
Speaker 1: victor on Wednesday? Assuming we know by that, I.
Speaker 19: Would say yes, because it's not only whether Trump wins
Speaker 19: and other candidates the down of you know, the ballot individuals.
Speaker 19: The thing that we need to roll up our sleeves
Speaker 19: is that how I guess dumbfounded our government and our
Speaker 19: agents that God re elect and that are not picking
Speaker 19: up the ball and saying, hey, all these people are
Speaker 19: telling us this information, let's spend some time and money
Speaker 19: to see if it's true or not. So I from
Speaker 19: my point of view, after following this for like over
Speaker 19: twenty years now, I can tell you truthfully that the
Speaker 19: computer hack who came out and testified in Congress in
Speaker 19: two thousands said do not use any electronic system. His
Speaker 19: name is Eugene Curtis. He's a programmer who admitted writing
Speaker 19: it source code computer back then for a Republican candidate
Speaker 19: to switch quotes, and he's been saying over and over
Speaker 19: and again, no electric electric on ext system should be
Speaker 19: used for elections.
Speaker 1: Well, I can understand his recommendation since we're out of
Speaker 1: time here to Nash, I can understand that recommendation because obviously,
Speaker 1: if it's computer, it's electronic, If it's connected to any
Speaker 1: you know, interactive network, weather, to the World Wide Web,
Speaker 1: or just within some you know, within the state web
Speaker 1: of connectivity, there's going to be a possibility that someone
Speaker 1: could hack in and manipulated. So because of that, in
Speaker 1: that the existence of that threat, and we see it
Speaker 1: literally everywhere we turn in every business that there's a
Speaker 1: computer connected. Whether it's fishing or hacking or you know,
Speaker 1: denial of service attacks or just outright manipulation, it's possible.
Speaker 1: And because it's possible, it shouldn't be part of the
Speaker 1: equation or the voting process. Dnash. Always appreciate you staying
Speaker 1: on top of this, my friend. I appreciate you calling
Speaker 1: in as well. New Hampshre Gary. You're going to be next.

Speaker 14: Com fifty five KRC fifty one.
Speaker 1: Here fifty five KRCD talk station. You're going to go
Speaker 1: to the phones. Five went three, seven, four, nine to
Speaker 1: fifty five eight ten day two to three talk. Hey,
Speaker 1: welcome back to the fifty five KRSSEE morning show. Good
Speaker 1: to hear from you, New Hampshire. Garrety, welcome back, Good.
Speaker 2: Morning, Brian.
Speaker 11: I hope all is well with you and your your
Speaker 11: leukemia lymphoma.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm specific on that because I like to
Speaker 1: joke I think I won the cancer lottery. I suppose
Speaker 1: if you're going to get diagnosed with cancer, it beats
Speaker 1: the living hell out of you know, leukemia or a geoblast.
Speaker 1: I'm a liver cancer, a pancreatic cancer. I could go
Speaker 1: on for a long long time. So I appreciate the
Speaker 1: concern that. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: I still pray for you about the age.
Speaker 11: You mean a lot to everybody out here. Hey, just
Speaker 11: two points, especially after DANSK got up there. You know
Speaker 11: they they've got a big thing that ray Epps White
Speaker 11: is working for Dominion.
Speaker 2: Voter Tabulation Corporation. You know.
Speaker 11: I've seen that up there. The main thing I wanted
Speaker 11: to get across today is what I'm seeing in New
Speaker 11: Hampshire and were mostly a blue mostly a blue state
Speaker 11: that with some unusual rights for freedom of gun rights,
Speaker 11: you know, the Second Amendment.
Speaker 2: They stay up here.
Speaker 11: Unusual, Yeah, it is unusual, it is. But we're quickly
Speaker 11: becoming a Massachusetts bleedover. Everybody's tired of taxes and they
Speaker 11: want the freedom of tax and they to turn mass
Speaker 11: to tax they want to turn New Hampshire into Massachusetts.
Speaker 2: And New York. We get a lot of bet so.
Speaker 11: I'm seeing a lot of commercials and one of them
Speaker 11: is the redefinition of rights, much like what they did
Speaker 11: in Rome. They're having advertisements boat blow straight down ticket
Speaker 11: up here, and one of the freedom to be free
Speaker 11: of gun violence. And I would like to know, how
Speaker 11: do you guarantee me the right to be free of
Speaker 11: gun violence. I want the right to be free of
Speaker 11: hammer violence for car violence, right exactly how do you
Speaker 11: do that? And you know, if anybody starts asking common
Speaker 11: sense questions, you can see.
Speaker 2: Right through it.
Speaker 11: You know they're asking the freedom of your body, access
Speaker 11: and control for abortion up to nine months. Again, you know,
Speaker 11: the government dictates what you can and can't do with
Speaker 11: your body. You can't inject yourself with heroin, that's your
Speaker 11: own body. You know the government does have autonomy over
Speaker 11: your body. To an extent they do, and it's just
Speaker 11: real interesting to see how everything's being distorted in bastardized.
Speaker 1: Well, you're right, but see my inust reaction is something
Speaker 1: like that is the point that you glombed onto. How
Speaker 1: is gun violence different from any other form of violence?
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the Sarnab brothers filled a pressure
Speaker 1: cooker with ball bearings and explosives. Okay, that was violence.
Speaker 1: I don't want to see any of that. But are
Speaker 1: we going to go out and ban pressure cookers, baseball bats,
Speaker 1: bass guitars. I mean, they want to focus on that
Speaker 1: one thing that brought us our freedoms and liberties in
Speaker 1: this country. It's the one great equalizer literally for every
Speaker 1: person out there in the world. I usually, you know,
Speaker 1: regularly you think about that ninety pound woman who was
Speaker 1: attacked and she had a firearm, and guess what she
Speaker 1: was able to fend off a six foot plus couple
Speaker 1: of plus hundred guy. That's what we need, the ability
Speaker 1: to defend ourselves. And by taking that away, of course,
Speaker 1: you have to turn to government and local law enforcement
Speaker 1: resources in order to have safety. You're gonna wait around
Speaker 1: for nine to one one to call up somebody's kicked
Speaker 1: in the front door of your house. I don't want
Speaker 1: to be in a position like that. But it's the
Speaker 1: ridiculous part, though, is what you've glombed onto. They focus
Speaker 1: on gun violence because they want to take away your guns.
Speaker 1: It's really the ultimate great equalizer and why they want
Speaker 1: to do that. And we live in a country of
Speaker 1: what five hundred million or so firearms, more firearms than
Speaker 1: every man, woman, and child in the United States. Compare
Speaker 1: to the number of firearms to the number of you know,
Speaker 1: crime committed with them, you can see very clearly that
Speaker 1: the vast, vast majority of firearm owners are law abiding citizens,
Speaker 1: either using those firearms for hunting, for the shooting sports
Speaker 1: like I use, and or personal protection bus You know,
Speaker 1: millions of armed citizens are a little difficult thing to
Speaker 1: put the hammer down on if you are an oppressive government.
Speaker 1: Check the number of military resources there are, the number
Speaker 1: of people serving in the military plus the National Guard
Speaker 1: collectively all added together, and assuming they would all be
Speaker 1: on the rights on the side of government oppressing you,
Speaker 1: you still way outnumber them. And know, it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: that they have f sixteen fighter jets, because I really
Speaker 1: seriously doubt they're going to be dropping bombs on large neighborhoods.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Check out your revolutionaries around
Speaker 1: the world. It's amazing that the AK forty seven and
Speaker 1: a bunch of crazies in the mountains of Afghanistan we're
Speaker 1: able to kick not just the Russians out, but the
Speaker 1: entire United States military. There's lots of illustrations like that
Speaker 1: out in the world. Six fifty six coming up with

Speaker 1: talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones. A
Speaker 1: bit of a Shenanigan's declaration by Sharon Coolidge from The
Speaker 1: enquire in the six o'clock hour podcast fifty five care
Speaker 1: Sea dot com. Yes they had a windfall and extra
Speaker 1: sixty five million dollars left over from the budget. It's
Speaker 1: worthy looking into what a council has decided to spend
Speaker 1: it on and of course they didn't consult with you.
Speaker 1: What else is coming on? A lot of people talking
Speaker 1: about voter fraud this morning, quite a few calls related
Speaker 1: to it, and a couple of stories connected with that.
Speaker 1: Nothing to do with electronic vot but of course voter
Speaker 1: registration forms to go to Pennsylvania, very important, all critical
Speaker 1: state for the election. Investigators found twenty five hundred voter
Speaker 1: registration forms submitted in two massive batches, sixty of which
Speaker 1: the investigators say are fraudulent. All of these batches were
Speaker 1: submitted to Lancaster County, apparently the largest county in Pennsylvania,
Speaker 1: at least in terms of voter numbers. Official say the
Speaker 1: work of a large scale canvassing operations. Not yet revealed
Speaker 1: who's behind it. I'll let you draw your own conclusions
Speaker 1: on that. Roughly twenty five hundred applications hit near Pennsylvania
Speaker 1: October twenty first registration, near the twenty first registration deadline,
Speaker 1: so it was a big application ballot gathering effort. People
Speaker 1: were out, It was paid folks going out and getting
Speaker 1: people to submit applications. Application processors were immediately alarmed when
Speaker 1: they saw all these massive batches showing up multiple applications
Speaker 1: with the same handwriting and signatures. Red flag. Many forms
Speaker 1: filled out on the same day, and applications were previously
Speaker 1: registered voters whose signatures on the forms didn't match the
Speaker 1: ones on file, prompting a police investigation. Lancaster County detectives
Speaker 1: confirmed many of the applications were indeed fraudulent, indications of
Speaker 1: fraud including inaccurate addresses, false personal identification information, false names,
Speaker 1: names that didn't match the social Security numbers on the forms.
Speaker 1: Some cases, many they say forms had accurate data, but
Speaker 1: the supposed applicant told detectives that they had neither requested
Speaker 1: nor completed the forms. Also confirmed the signatures were not
Speaker 1: there as an all against sixty percent vetted so far
Speaker 1: found to be fraudulent, Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams
Speaker 1: in a statement LASO Friday during a press conference. It's
Speaker 1: believed that the fraudulent voter registrations are connected to a
Speaker 1: large scale canvassing operations for voter registrations that date back
Speaker 1: to June. The majority of the applications received or dated
Speaker 1: August fifteenth and after those canvassing for voter registrations were
Speaker 1: employed and paid to obtain voter registration applications. She noted
Speaker 1: the canvassing operation primarily took place at shopping centers, parking lots, parks,
Speaker 1: grocery shores, sidewalks, and businesses. The fraudulent activity took a
Speaker 1: variety of forms, from completely bogus applications, the ones where
Speaker 1: real voter had started to register but then decided not
Speaker 1: to go forward with that, but ended up having their
Speaker 1: applications submitted for them anyway. Hmmm. District attorney said forgery
Speaker 1: of an application, which we have seen evidence of, would
Speaker 1: be a felony of the third degree, punishable laptist seven
Speaker 1: years in prison in a fifteen thousand dollars. Frimeh also
Speaker 1: said the fraud appears to be an organized effort at
Speaker 1: this point, and noting that two other Pennsylvania counties investigating
Speaker 1: similarly suspicious batches of registration applications showing up. Now it
Speaker 1: could be a RICO charge. You got organized criminal activity
Speaker 1: is a third degree felling. That's criminal. You've got multiple
Speaker 1: people working together to achieve the project applications turning in.
Speaker 1: Maybe someone will get prosecuted. I'm not going to hold
Speaker 1: my breath for it, but at least they're on it,
Speaker 1: which gives me some measure of comfort. The question is
Speaker 1: what other states are doing and are they paying well
Speaker 1: as close attention to things like this happening as they
Speaker 1: were in Lancaster County and also in terms of election security.
Speaker 1: The Chinese hackers, as well as other international hackers apparently
Speaker 1: added again reported that the hackers targeted the phones of
Speaker 1: Donald Trump JD Vance along with Vice President Kamala Harrison
Speaker 1: people that are affiliated with her. Hackers believe to be
Speaker 1: tied to the Chinese Intelligence Service. Wall Street jenneral. Reporting
Speaker 1: on this one, investigators notified a bipartisan group of politicians
Speaker 1: targeted by the hackers. A number of prominent Democrats in
Speaker 1: Congress among the targets, including staffers Senior Majority Leader Chucky
Speaker 1: Schumer Huh. They said the scope of the attack has
Speaker 1: grown substantial, at least what they know about has grown
Speaker 1: in the recent weeks as their investigation expands. Investigators now
Speaker 1: believe those hackers gained access to US telecommunications infrastructure and
Speaker 1: targeted or compromised at least several dozen companies and people.
Speaker 1: They called their activity unusually aggressive since being discovered last month.
Speaker 1: Hackers have attempted to re enter patched systems after being
Speaker 1: kicked out of them previously. So we discover a hack,
Speaker 1: we eradicate it, and then they're back at it again.
Speaker 1: This is something they've had. It brings up all the time.
Speaker 1: This is twenty four hour day, seven day week operations
Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party has in place, but they're not
Speaker 1: the only ones, said. The boldness of the hackers' activities,
Speaker 1: the vast of the espionage, and the timing of the
Speaker 1: attacks weeks before the presidential election has some officials worried
Speaker 1: about the possibility of a far more significant effort to
Speaker 1: interfere or disrupt with the election. Experts tracking foreign influence
Speaker 1: efforts say the day's right before the election are the
Speaker 1: most vulnerable to attack is the proximity to voting leaves
Speaker 1: little time to mount a response. Going back to Danesh's comment,
Speaker 1: we've known about these problems, well, at least that he
Speaker 1: was referring to now, for more than a decade. It
Speaker 1: sounds like anything been done to fix the coding issues
Speaker 1: and the electronics software. That's a field that I'm not
Speaker 1: naturally necessarily familiar with, although I do read the reports
Speaker 1: that people have posted out there, Doctor Corsi and others.
Speaker 1: Does ra a significant amount of concern in my brain.
Speaker 1: I wish I had more computer programming wherewithal to understand
Speaker 1: the nature of the problem. But that it is a
Speaker 1: problem is what bothers me. One person in the response
Speaker 1: to this Chinese hack, they're taunting us. What is the
Speaker 1: diplomatic messaging behind them doing them showing us that they're
Speaker 1: doing it and continuing to do it after they're caught.
Speaker 1: The brazenness of the operation, the person said, marked a
Speaker 1: new frontier and how the Chinese government is leveraging cyber
Speaker 1: activity against the United States. FBI, in a separate statement Friday,
Speaker 1: confirmed it was investigating what they called unauthorized access to
Speaker 1: commercial telecommunications infrastructure by Yes the Chinese Communist Party. Statement
Speaker 1: was the first formal acknowledgment by the US government about
Speaker 1: this massive breach, so I say. Recently, the White House
Speaker 1: has convened what they're calling highly confidential meetings to assess
Speaker 1: the damage of the compromises, which include intrusions into Verizon
Speaker 1: AT and T and Lumen Court. To the statement from Verizon,
Speaker 1: spokesman Rich Young said, we're aware of the highly sophisticated
Speaker 1: Nation State actor has reportedly targeted several US telecommunications providers
Speaker 1: to gather intelligence so that their company was working with
Speaker 1: law enforcement to assess and remediate any potential impact. No
Speaker 1: conclusive statement on whether it has been fully addressed and
Speaker 1: fully remediated. We all know one thing's for sure. They're
Speaker 1: out there, and to the extent I'm not saying they
Speaker 1: can because they don't know, but to the extent they
Speaker 1: could get into the computer voting and manipulate the vote,
Speaker 1: I think it's a pretty safe thing to say that
Speaker 1: they will. But going back to the point that was
Speaker 1: made earlier, that I made earlier, if the vote can
Speaker 1: be manipulated, and our US lettered agencies are saying that
Speaker 1: the Russians want Trump to win, and we don't know
Speaker 1: necessarily what the Iranians want, Probably they want him to lose,
Speaker 1: and we don't know what the Chinese want. I think
Speaker 1: they just want to stir dissent and maybe confusion about
Speaker 1: the outcome of the election. If it can be manipulated,
Speaker 1: it could go either way. So if Trump has declared
Speaker 1: the winner, are you going to take comfort in that?
Speaker 1: Or do you think the thousands of Democrat lawyers in
Speaker 1: literally all fifty states are going to hit the ground
Speaker 1: running with their lawsuits in court to attack the integrity
Speaker 1: based upon what we know about the potential maybe even
Speaker 1: ability for the systems to be hacked. Seven sixteen fifty

Speaker 1: Ay you seven twenty Here fifty five KRCD Talk station.
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas always looking forward to welcoming to the fifty
Speaker 1: five KARC Morning show. Former Vice Mayor of the City
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati, Christopher Smitheman for this Smith event. Welcome back, Christopher.
Speaker 1: I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 5: Oh I did. Thank you so much for having me on, Brian,
Speaker 5: and I can tell you the voter turnout across the
Speaker 5: country is just astronomical. Obviously that is true right here
Speaker 5: in Hamilton County. Just an amazing turnout people. There's a
Speaker 5: lot of energy around it, but it's still not enough.
Speaker 5: And I think that's why people like yourself and me
Speaker 5: and others are saying bank your vote, vote early, so
Speaker 5: we can identify who those low propensity voters might be,
Speaker 5: move move out of the way, so that campaigns who
Speaker 5: are interested, like a Melissa Powers, you know, she was
Speaker 5: running for Hamilton County prosecutor life support, she can knock
Speaker 5: on your door and say, hey, it's the Monday before
Speaker 5: the election. Are you titning to vote?
Speaker 1: We really need you, right, And that's right, it's so important,
Speaker 1: it is, and it's a really valuable point to double
Speaker 1: down on Christopher. The point being once you voted, the
Speaker 1: parties know that your vote has been cast, and so
Speaker 1: they will no longer use up valuable and limited dollars
Speaker 1: to send you campaign flyers and to come knocking on
Speaker 1: your door. You're taking off the list. So if you're
Speaker 1: tired of getting mailings in that kind of thing or solicitations,
Speaker 1: cast your vote and apparently it'll save the campaign money
Speaker 1: and you won't be bothered anymore.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I mean the ground games that the candidates have
Speaker 5: to put in place in the last three or four days,
Speaker 5: it's just amazing. You know, if you're if your Melissa Powers.
Speaker 5: Are you're a Jim Neil and you're thinking about election day.
Speaker 5: You're trying to see how many volunteers do you have
Speaker 5: to cover every poll? You know, how are you going
Speaker 5: to feed people? How many volunteers do you need on
Speaker 5: the ground knocking on doors across the entire county, Or
Speaker 5: if you're voting locally, across your neighborhood. So you're right,
Speaker 5: I can pass by your house and volunteer says, hey,
Speaker 5: that person voted. I'm going to the next house right. Hey,
Speaker 5: mister and missus Johnson, you haven't voted. Are you going
Speaker 5: to early vote? Are you planning on voting tomorrow?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 5: I feel like the candidate is in the bag. I
Speaker 5: really don't feel Oh no, we need you to show up.
Speaker 5: We need you to vote absolutely. Or the person says, hey,
Speaker 5: my mom is sick. She's filled out her paper, but
Speaker 5: I can't drive it over. I'll take it over for you.
Speaker 5: I'll put it in the mailbox for you, so you know,
Speaker 5: when you run into all kinds of things. But that
Speaker 5: point of banking your votes so that each of the
Speaker 5: campaigns can look and understand that person is voted, is
Speaker 5: critical and it saves tremendous money and time.
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas, it sure does. And my wife is out
Speaker 1: handing out pink slips over at the Hamilton County bord
Speaker 1: of election yesterday and said voter turnout was strong. That's
Speaker 1: all I've heard is just that it's a lot of
Speaker 1: people are early voting, and I'm happy to hear that.
Speaker 1: But no idea one way or another who's benefiting from
Speaker 1: the early voting, except nationally speaking, it looks like the
Speaker 1: Republicans actually has some of an advantage in the swing states,
Speaker 1: which is shocking.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well, places like North Carolina just got smashed by what
Speaker 5: we call hurricanes, Yeah, hurricanes, and they're there saying my
Speaker 5: government forgot me. And at the same time, my government
Speaker 5: was sending money, you know, to places like Lebanon while
Speaker 5: we did not have running water, we didn't have electricity,
Speaker 5: our houses were gone by way of mud slides. And
Speaker 5: I lost my mom or I lost my pet, or
Speaker 5: I lost my child. Believe me, the people in North
Speaker 5: Carolina understand that, and they're voting for recovery. It's a
Speaker 5: recovery vote. They're voting Democrat, Republican or inter independent. They're
Speaker 5: voting who do I think will best respond to my recovery.
Speaker 5: The hurricane has happened, but it's going to take me
Speaker 5: years to recover. Who do I trust with my life?
Speaker 5: And that's why you see people crawling over mudpiles down
Speaker 5: in North Carolina, coming out of the hills, doing anything
Speaker 5: and everything that they can do to get to the polls.
Speaker 5: They are serious. In North Carolina, people were like, oh,
Speaker 5: we don't know whether they're going to vote. Oh, they're
Speaker 5: voting in North Carolina, and they're voting in places like Georgia.
Speaker 5: They remember the Lake in Riley situation. You don't have
Speaker 5: to tell them about open borders and what happens. One
Speaker 5: of their citizens was murdered just jogging from a college campus.
Speaker 5: So this election is very different. People are motivated for
Speaker 5: a lot of different reasons. I think this conversation you
Speaker 5: and I are having about bank votes, you're seeing most
Speaker 5: likely more conservative voters who are saying I'm a traditionalist,
Speaker 5: I'm going to vote on election day, changing their minds
Speaker 5: saying I'm going to vote early, bank to vote and
Speaker 5: allow the campaigns to know who voted and who didn't.
Speaker 5: I believe that's what's happening.
Speaker 1: I think you are right Christopher suidtheman will pause, bring
Speaker 1: you back for more of the Smither event this morning
Speaker 1: at seven twenty five. Right now for the five Kerr
Speaker 1: City Talk station. I get to mention a great products.

Speaker 9: the talk station.
Speaker 1: That's a seven twenty nine fast approaching seven thirty year
Speaker 1: fifty five KR ceed talk station, Right Thomas with Christopher
Speaker 1: smitham and former vice mayor of the City of Cincinna,
Speaker 1: doing the Smither event. What's on your mind today? Christopher?
Speaker 5: Look, brother, when I hear Hillary Clinton comparing what happened
Speaker 5: at the Madison Square Guarden yesterday to the KKK and
Speaker 5: to Nazis. As an African American man whose parents are
Speaker 5: from the South, whose grandfather I stayed with every summer
Speaker 5: for ten years down in Montgomery, Alabama, had a gun
Speaker 5: in every corner waiting for the clan to come. For
Speaker 5: these politicians to lower themselves to use political points to
Speaker 5: talk about a terrorist organization that put terror on African
Speaker 5: Americans in the South with the Dixiecrats is absolutely insane
Speaker 5: and outrageous. I am, I can't believe how low these
Speaker 5: people are willing to go to divide us around race
Speaker 5: and identity politics. It's an election. Half of America aren't
Speaker 5: KKK members and Nazi members, And the people that went
Speaker 5: yesterday were incredibly diverse, Latinos, African Americans. People had the
Speaker 5: Israeli flags for Hillary Clinton. And any talking point on
Speaker 5: any of these mainstream media outlets to describe what happened
Speaker 5: yesterday other than some political rally, which is what it was,
Speaker 5: and to describe it as a KKK met place, a
Speaker 5: KKK gathering, or a Nazi gathering. Now, let me be
Speaker 5: clear what anti Semitic people look like. They look like
Speaker 5: the college kids that were on these liberal college campuses
Speaker 5: marching around with Hamas flags, climbing, taking the American flag down,
Speaker 5: raising the Hamas flag, putting tints up everywhere. And we
Speaker 5: didn't hear from Hillary Clinton, she did not denounce that behavior.
Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, we didn't hear from Bill Clinton,
Speaker 5: former president. We didn't hear from any of the talking boys.
Speaker 5: We didn't hear from former President Barack Obama. When these
Speaker 5: people on the college campuses, the Ivy League campuses that
Speaker 5: they attended, were flying Harma's flags and saying anti Semitic things,
Speaker 5: there was nothing yesterday that equated to Hitler. And so
Speaker 5: to call another candidate Hitler is so outrageous and so
Speaker 5: over the top. Every American should be denouncing it this morning.
Speaker 5: No matter what your political affiliation is, no matter who
Speaker 5: you like or you don't like in this election, half
Speaker 5: of America are not KKK members and Hitlers.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: The other component of the Christopher is it's that, I mean,
Speaker 1: they've dusted this off before and made these challenges and
Speaker 1: accusations against Trump before. We have four years of Donald
Speaker 1: Trump as president of the United States of America, and
Speaker 1: I just pushed them and pressed them to answer the question,
Speaker 1: what specifically during those four years did he do that
Speaker 1: You could draw a straight parallel between Donald Trump and
Speaker 1: Adolph Blank and Hitler.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: You know, they say he's going to take away democracy.
Speaker 1: He's gonna, you know, unleash the military forces on the people,
Speaker 1: round them up and put them in tournament camps or something.
Speaker 1: I know FDR did that, but I don't recall Donald
Speaker 1: Trump ever doing anything that appeared to come across as
Speaker 1: fascist or dictatorial or I don't know something that reminisced
Speaker 1: reminiscent of the eradicated endeavor to eradicate the Jewish population.
Speaker 5: I mean, come on, you know I can't and you
Speaker 5: can't help think anybody can I talk about this, talk
Speaker 5: about out you know how the Jewish community feels. But
Speaker 5: I can tell you this. You know, if I were Jewish,
Speaker 5: and I would say, they're equating a person who killed
Speaker 5: six million of by people, right, that seems a little
Speaker 5: over the top. And to say that the that the
Speaker 5: that the event yesterday had any reflection to KKK. I
Speaker 5: can speak to that as an African American, as a
Speaker 5: family that has a rich history in the South and
Speaker 5: understands who the KKK were. That makes no sense. It's
Speaker 5: one thing to say I don't like former President Trump
Speaker 5: because I think he's arrogant, because I think he says
Speaker 5: things that are outrageous. Right that you can there's enough
Speaker 5: material out there for you to criticize, in my opinion,
Speaker 5: former President Trump. There's enough material for you to sit
Speaker 5: back and and look at the Vice President Harris and
Speaker 5: criticize her on the marriage. Maybe thinks that she did
Speaker 5: when she was the Attorney general are things she didn't
Speaker 5: do regarding the southern border. But to start putting putting
Speaker 5: things into races and calling people hitler and KKK members,
Speaker 5: it is absolutely outrageous, and by the way, it puts
Speaker 5: former Donald Trump's line more on the line today when
Speaker 5: they come out with that rhetoric, what are they gonna
Speaker 5: do when somebody tries to assassinate him again? When you
Speaker 5: start doing what are they gonna do on November the
Speaker 5: sixth if he wins the race? So on January twentieth,
Speaker 5: are you gonna now say you're now swearing in a
Speaker 5: KKK member or you're swearing in hitler. Many they don't
Speaker 5: understand that their rhetoric matters, and their leadership is absolutely
Speaker 5: in the gutter this morning, and I have to respond
Speaker 5: to it with the strongest language that anybody could ever
Speaker 5: hear me, say, go out vote, participate in the political process,
Speaker 5: bank your vote, make sure your your language is matching
Speaker 5: what is really happening. The United States is having an
Speaker 5: election and the world is watching we are not going
Speaker 5: to elect on either side a communist or Hitler or
Speaker 5: a fascist. It's in a damn election and half of
Speaker 5: the country is supporting one candidate and the other half
Speaker 5: of supporting the other. And at the end of the day,
Speaker 5: we will have an orderly transition of power like we
Speaker 5: always have had. But I want to speak to this
Speaker 5: former Donald Trump is not Hitler and he's not a
Speaker 5: KKK member.
Speaker 1: Wow, it's crazy that you even have to bring that up.
Speaker 1: But I think what we're looking at here, Christopher, it
Speaker 1: is so bizarre and it makes so little sense, and
Speaker 1: it is not it is grounded in nothing but an
Speaker 1: outright lie. That it reflects the level of desperation that
Speaker 1: Democrats have gotten to. They're stuck that they I mean,
Speaker 1: they picked Hiller or Kamala Harris rather than go through
Speaker 1: a process, rather than having the Democrat individual democrats, you know,
Speaker 1: go through a primary hand selected. She's got nothing to
Speaker 1: run on. She is running away from little everything she
Speaker 1: once strongly stood for. And now every time she's gone
Speaker 1: on television since she was anointed or has it, has
Speaker 1: been interviewed by anyone, she can't even give you a
Speaker 1: straight answer on any topic. Whatsoever. Every time she comes
Speaker 1: on her poll numbers fall. Why because someone out there
Speaker 1: in the world is actually expecting her to answer a question,
Speaker 1: how is your administration going to be different from what
Speaker 1: we've been living under four years, which right now sucks
Speaker 1: for literally everybody? No response? You know, where are you
Speaker 1: on immigration? Where are you? I mean it's fracking is
Speaker 1: another joke issue you can't get.
Speaker 5: Where are you on inflation? Like the biggest thing facing
Speaker 5: all Americans, no matter your race or your gender. I'm
Speaker 5: trying to figure out how to live, how to survive
Speaker 5: every day? I how can I pay my basic bills,
Speaker 5: find my children to good schools, pay for their education,
Speaker 5: have one vacation a year. Americans are This is a
Speaker 5: bread and butter economic election, and those candidates that are
Speaker 5: missing that most likely will not get the votes on
Speaker 5: this run. People are hurting right now. Look, brother, you
Speaker 5: know that I'm a financial planner and I can tell
Speaker 5: you my clients are being laid off quietly across a
Speaker 5: number of industries, and they're taking distributions from their IRA
Speaker 5: accounts to live and they are not fifty nine and
Speaker 5: a half and going out there and trying to find
Speaker 5: a six figure job once you're a middle manager and
Speaker 5: you've been laid off, is very difficult. I have situations
Speaker 5: where both the husband and wife have lost their jobs,
Speaker 5: and so whether they're getting a six month separance or not,
Speaker 5: or a three month separance. When you get your January
Speaker 5: of next year, those Americans who've been laid off are
Speaker 5: going to be struggling. They're voting their posablek Brian Thomas,
Speaker 5: that's all their voting. They're trying to figure out how
Speaker 5: they're going to pay their bills. And they understand that
Speaker 5: this government is releasing their reserves in order to bring
Speaker 5: down oil prices. And we know what's going to happen
Speaker 5: to fuel on November sixth as we go into January.
Speaker 5: I mean, we're not dumb. We understand there's an election
Speaker 5: and all of a sudden, Unletted gat its gases down
Speaker 5: to two point fifty five a gallon. Come on, man,
Speaker 5: you're releasing all of the oil, all of our reserves
Speaker 5: that were supposed to use for an emergency for an election.
Speaker 5: We're smart.
Speaker 1: We did it at the same time screaming at you
Speaker 1: using getting rid of internal combustion engines and going out
Speaker 1: and buy an electric vehicle to save the planet. They
Speaker 1: are encouraging the consumption of gasoline by lowering the price,
Speaker 1: a price which would already be low but for the
Speaker 1: Democrat policies of trying to take away our carbon or
Speaker 1: rather our carbon producing products like gasoline engines. See, they
Speaker 1: create the problem and then they come to the rescue
Speaker 1: to try to solve it by tapping into the strategic
Speaker 1: padrolling oilserve and putting us in greater jeopardy if there
Speaker 1: is in fact something that goes on in the world
Speaker 1: that makes us need our own oil reserves just to
Speaker 1: buy votes, it's so obvious.
Speaker 5: And oil we probably were buying at twenty and thirty
Speaker 5: dollars a barrow that we're now probably gonna have to
Speaker 5: pay one hundred.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're not smart man. The goal is to buy
Speaker 5: low and sell high, right, And they're just the opposite
Speaker 5: because they're hell bent on winding at election right, not
Speaker 5: really thinking about the people. And that's the difference here.
Speaker 5: Brian Thomas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, an election that is, you know, pivoting on the
Speaker 1: whole economic reality. And again I gotta go back. They're
Speaker 1: the ones that spent us into this situation. There would
Speaker 1: be no so called Green New Deal if we just
Speaker 1: move the hell away the idea that you know, carbon
Speaker 1: dioxide is a danger to the planet when it happens
Speaker 1: to be plant food. I mean, we put ourselves in
Speaker 1: this position. We have evaxiculated ourselves. We have cut our
Speaker 1: own throats in the name of this climate religion. You know,
Speaker 1: energy prices would be a lot low. That's why Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's promising to drill baby. It's an old line, drill baby, drill.
Speaker 1: But the point being, we've got it, let's access it,
Speaker 1: let's bring the price down. Nothing is going to stop
Speaker 1: us from using petroleum products in the near future at all.
Speaker 1: I mean, you want a plastic bottle, guess what, you
Speaker 1: need oil out of the ground to make that, among
Speaker 1: thousands of other products, including gasoline.
Speaker 5: It it only makes us more dependent on the Middle
Speaker 5: East and buying oil from those who want to destroy us.
Speaker 1: Yes, it does.
Speaker 5: Mean it's such common sense. And by the by the way,
Speaker 5: the more oil you buy from the Middle East, the
Speaker 5: more bombs, the more planes, the more tanks they can buy.
Speaker 5: I mean, why would we do that, so we're energy
Speaker 5: dependent on our enemies to provide us oil. It's just
Speaker 5: no common sense. And by the way, by the way.
Speaker 5: No one is saying extract the oil at any cost,
Speaker 5: saying there are ways to go and get it, be
Speaker 5: environmentally conscious while you do it. But to say I'm
Speaker 5: just gonna shut it down has us in a precarious situation.
Speaker 5: And I think that most people out there Brian, when
Speaker 5: they're thinking about this, they understand that the way food
Speaker 5: and goods get to us is still our truck drivers
Speaker 5: out there. And guess what when when diesel is that
Speaker 5: six and seven dollars a gallon. By the way, if
Speaker 5: you're riding around and you're listening to me right now,
Speaker 5: we need you to participate and vote, make sure that
Speaker 5: you vote and participate in the process. But those truck
Speaker 5: drivers that are out there, they know that they were
Speaker 5: paying six dollars a gallon for diesel. What do you
Speaker 5: think they're gonna eat it? No, they pass it on.
Speaker 5: That's what we call inflation. And that's what you hear.
Speaker 5: That's what you hear the candidate saying, I'm gonna lower
Speaker 5: the prices of fuel. And by the way, when I
Speaker 5: do that, it's going to impact the economy in so
Speaker 5: many different ways. We're gonna be able to bring down
Speaker 5: inflation at a much lot more of a rapid pace. Chris,
Speaker 5: really what you hear with that articulation.
Speaker 1: Get on X at vote Smithlman. That's it X and
Speaker 1: you'll be glad you're hooked up to Christopher Smithman. I

Speaker 1: Now speak to all the people out in the world
Speaker 1: who did not encourage student debt, who went into the
Speaker 1: trades or actually paid it off, and ask them how
Speaker 1: they feel about that. Let's see what Wayne's got to say. Hey, Wayne,
Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning. Happy Monday, Happy Monday.
Speaker 20: Brian just got a quick question for you. If we
Speaker 20: got the super majority in Ohio, how do the Democrats
Speaker 20: get all these ballot issues? They got the abortion one
Speaker 20: last year, and then this year they got the issue one.
Speaker 20: How does that happen?
Speaker 1: Well, as to the abortion issue, like it or not,
Speaker 1: poll after poll after poll, so's the majority of Americans
Speaker 1: want some right to have an abortion, whether it's you know,
Speaker 1: a little tiny window or all the way up to
Speaker 1: the ninth oneth of pregnancy. It polls really well. Usually
Speaker 1: a close to sixty percent wants something by way of abortion.
Speaker 1: The people who want zero abortion are always polling in
Speaker 1: the minority. I know people hate to hear that, but
Speaker 1: it's the truth. So I draw the parallel between the
Speaker 1: abortion issue Ohio as the same as the gambling issue.
Speaker 1: Most people don't care if you gamble, why not have gambling?
Speaker 1: Vegas has had it for years, Rena has got it. Look,
Speaker 1: they got it over in Southeast India. How about us?
Speaker 1: They don't look behind the window dressing of what it was,
Speaker 1: which was establishing specific casinos and basically a cartel thing
Speaker 1: like that original marijuana legalization bill which we rejected because
Speaker 1: well it handed over the money to a hand select
Speaker 1: people ahead of time. But they want abortion, so like, okay,
Speaker 1: I think they vote for abortion now. So far as
Speaker 1: Issue one's concerned, completely different thing people will usually and
Speaker 1: we did. There was a research analyst from UCE on
Speaker 1: last week on my show. If it's really complicated and
Speaker 1: people don't know anything about it, they tend to vote no,
Speaker 1: just as a knee jerk reactions like I don't get it,
Speaker 1: So I'm going to keep the status quo. But maybe
Speaker 1: a lot of people on that one. But there's been
Speaker 1: a lot of advertising coming in talking about how awesome
Speaker 1: Issue one's going to be, and people may be swayed
Speaker 1: by that and not have read the language or understand
Speaker 1: the ramifications for it in Ohio, and Issue one isn't
Speaker 1: necessary at least on its face. A blue or red thing. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's about Jerry Manning. It's about Jerry Manning. We've been
Speaker 1: to court so many times. He's jerremanding these politicians and
Speaker 1: you know, favor in their own best interests. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Well that's all this this independent committee's going to be,
Speaker 1: except they won't be accountable to the voters of the
Speaker 1: state of Ohio. Voters should rejected for that reason alone.
Speaker 1: But then when you read it, you're like your eyes glazed,
Speaker 1: They're like, what the hell, how complicated the process is,
Speaker 1: and how all kinds of nefarious opportunities exist within it?
Speaker 1: And then move away from it and you find out, yes,
Speaker 1: in fact, is a real solid blue backed issue. We've
Speaker 1: got foreign money from the Swiss guy that's whatever the
Speaker 1: hell his name is. Sorry, Marien, I forget it, but
Speaker 1: you know, twenty million dollars of his money, all the
Speaker 1: Stark money coming in, all the Democrat organizations, from teachers'
Speaker 1: unions across the board support it. Why because we live
Speaker 1: in a red state in Ohio. Now, they can't win
Speaker 1: at the voting box. So what they want to do
Speaker 1: is change the district so that better benefits the Democrat
Speaker 1: candidates and gives them a better shot of winning when
Speaker 1: they otherwise couldn't lose. So that one, it's sort of
Speaker 1: a political on its face, but it is very political
Speaker 1: when you look who's behind it and the motives behind it.
Speaker 1: So that's my analysis, Wayne. So yeah, you know, abortion
Speaker 1: isn't an R or D issue, and I know you
Speaker 1: know people on the Republican side of the ledger that
Speaker 1: do favor some access and rights to an abortion and
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party, oh that's the that's the first that's
Speaker 1: what they run on, which is really eerie, ghoulish and weird,
Speaker 1: but they do own the party of protecting abortion rights
Speaker 1: and Republicans historically have owned trying to protect the interest
Speaker 1: of life. So that's again, it's a far more political issue,
Speaker 1: but in terms of crossing political boundaries, abortion quite typically does.
Speaker 1: That's my take and I gotta stick with it, Wayne,
Speaker 1: That's all I got. Were out of time in this segment. Sorry, Carl,
Speaker 1: can't get to your call. We got money Monday with
Speaker 1: Brian James coming up after the top of the Our News.
Speaker 1: I hope we can stick around every day. The most
Speaker 1: important day is election day. You're going to hear every
Speaker 1: single bit of information when you we like to listen
Speaker 1: fifty five KRS this report talk about what they're doing
Speaker 1: keeping him in court all day on fifty five KRC.
Speaker 1: Heyto five. If you're a fifty five cars Get Talks station.
Speaker 1: Very happy Monday to you. Except for Bengals fans or
Speaker 1: a little upset or that snatching defeat from the jaws
Speaker 1: of victory yesterday, Welcome back to the fifty five KRC
Speaker 1: Morning Show. It is Monday, which means this time for
Speaker 1: money Monday, all Worth Financials. Brian James returns to talk
Speaker 1: about food prices. To start with, Welcome back, my friends.
Speaker 1: Always good talk having you on the show.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, thanks for the hospitality as always.
Speaker 1: And let's start with a boo day this time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, in a boo day, true, And we just
Speaker 1: can't win at home, then we just get rid of
Speaker 1: the stadium all together and play elsewhere, you.
Speaker 6: Know, short term, long term gain or maybe the other
Speaker 6: way around.
Speaker 1: I don't better than putting another quarter billion dollars into
Speaker 1: it out I'm sorry, I'm sorry, one point three billion
Speaker 1: dollars to upcall say don't don't low ball this soon
Speaker 1: too early in the negotiations. I guess the new locker
Speaker 1: rooms didn't help them. You know, that's maybe they really
Speaker 1: didn't need that either. Okay, we can have a field
Speaker 1: day with that, but we're not We're gonna have a
Speaker 1: field day on food prices.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I recognize that you can scream and yell about inflation
Speaker 1: all day long as a political candidate, question what could
Speaker 1: a candidate actually do about the price of food, because many,
Speaker 1: as your article from nerd Wallet indicates, maybe those factors
Speaker 1: are completely outside of the realm of controllability. Like bird flu. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you've got bird flu going through and it's wiping
Speaker 1: out tens of thousands of chickens, you're gonna have a
Speaker 1: price increase for eggs. I don't know that there's hands
Speaker 1: that can be laid on that problem, but that seems
Speaker 1: to be one of those active God things which is
Speaker 1: out of the hands of politicians. The price of diesel fuel, however,
Speaker 1: is within the realm of fixability. And of course, the
Speaker 1: price of diesel impacts the price of literally anything that
Speaker 1: has to be shipped, like food, and it has increased
Speaker 1: dramatically twenty two percent since twenty twenty. And if we
Speaker 1: drilled more or refined more, the price wouldn't necessarily go down.
Speaker 1: But let's talk about some of these other factors. Brian James.
Speaker 21: So let's set the table here a little bit. Brian,
Speaker 21: So we all know, we all know that food prices
Speaker 21: in general are up. We feel that, you know, there's
Speaker 21: nobody exempt from that. Everybody feels at every trip to
Speaker 21: the grocery store. So let's put some numbers to it.
Speaker 21: Twenty eight percent increases since twenty nineteen, and that's coming
Speaker 21: from several different sources. So a lot of it is
Speaker 21: operating costs. You know, it's just cost more to produce things.
Speaker 21: You have to pay more for labor and moving it
Speaker 21: around the country. Obviously, fuel cast fuel cost more, as
Speaker 21: you just reference to. Beef prices were driven up, for example,
Speaker 21: by drought and high green prices. Rising interest rates have
Speaker 21: also reduced it reduced the size of cattle herds because
Speaker 21: you know, farmers tend to mortgage their cattle just like
Speaker 21: we mortgage our homes to just as a way of
Speaker 21: doing business. Supply chain disruptions, of course, have been a thing.
Speaker 21: We don't need to be beat that to death anymore.
Speaker 21: Other than the one big point to remember is I
Speaker 21: remember this from fifth grade social studies. Ukraine was always
Speaker 21: known as the bread basket of the world. Well that's
Speaker 21: a thing now of course, because it's the bread basket
Speaker 21: isn't as big as it used to be thanks to
Speaker 21: the war over there, so that's going to drive things up.
Speaker 21: But I think, Brian, I think that the big one
Speaker 21: out there that we don't talk about much because I
Speaker 21: think we're really too scared to deal with it, is
Speaker 21: corporate profitability.
Speaker 6: So grocery stores profit margins have increased.
Speaker 21: Revenues are outpacing costs by more than six percent in
Speaker 21: twenty twenty one and seven percent in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 21: so they're expanding their profit margins during this time period,
Speaker 21: and that just makes me go, wait a minute, where's
Speaker 21: the actual problem. There are real things out there, like
Speaker 21: the bird flu. There are always things out there driving
Speaker 21: the movement of prices. But at the same time, I
Speaker 21: can't help but wonder if every time there's a scary headline,
Speaker 21: somebody in a boardroom somewhere says, you know what, I
Speaker 21: bet we can squeeze some profit margin into this and
Speaker 21: people won't notice.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess, or they will notice and realize that
Speaker 1: Well I can without I know that The article referenced
Speaker 1: high cocoa prices cocoa productions down. Obviously, that's going to
Speaker 1: cause an increase in you know, your Hershey bar and
Speaker 1: anything else that's got chocolate in it. And as it
Speaker 1: points out, people just cut back on quantities they buy. Why, Well,
Speaker 1: chocolate isn't a necessary thing. You may love it, and
Speaker 1: you may you think you need it, but you really don't.
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily nutritional. But people can make choices and
Speaker 1: just choose not to buy it, which, of course that's
Speaker 1: according to the data that's in here. People have done.
Speaker 1: It's like I will not abide. And then they go
Speaker 1: back to, well, if we can't get people to buy
Speaker 1: it at that, we'll just shrink the number of ounces
Speaker 1: from a twelve ounce bar down to a nine and
Speaker 1: a half ounce bar. It it'll appear as though the
Speaker 1: price has gone down, but actually you're getting less quantity
Speaker 1: from the money paid. I mean, we're smarter than that.
Speaker 1: We can see that. It doesn't take rocket sciences figure
Speaker 1: that that shift in packaging size.
Speaker 21: Yeah, I'm reminded when when you bring up the shrinkflation topic,
Speaker 21: I can give you a quick example just from our house. Now,
Speaker 21: this is a while ago, back when the kids were
Speaker 21: eating baby food, these little fruit bar things that they loved, well,
Speaker 21: one of them fell behind the shelves and sat there
Speaker 21: for several years, and then when we finally cleaned it out,
Speaker 21: I found it and I realized that the fresh ones
Speaker 21: from last week that were sitting on the shelf were
Speaker 21: literally about two thirds the size of the one that
Speaker 21: had fallen behind the shelves and sat there for three years.
Speaker 21: But to the point did we stop buying them? No,
Speaker 21: because that was a convenience factor for us. We grumbled
Speaker 21: about it, for sure, but the kids liked them. We
Speaker 21: didn't have to argue. It was a quick snack for them,
Speaker 21: and it wasn't the normal garbage that they that they
Speaker 21: usually want. So we swiped their credit card anyway. And
Speaker 21: that's that's kind of you know, if you've got the
Speaker 21: ability to do it, you may not want to, but
Speaker 21: you still do it anyway. And I think that's a
Speaker 21: way for that the companies can lean into again continuing
Speaker 21: to squeeze that profit margin out because they know we're
Speaker 21: not going to change drastically. Americans aren't too excited about sacrifice.
Speaker 1: That's true, but we are as Americans don't mind profitability,
Speaker 1: and six percent margin isn't really that much. I mean,
Speaker 1: you look at other profit margins for you know, peopleople
Speaker 1: to produce goods and services. I mean it's thirty forty,
Speaker 1: can be fifty percent or even more. But we obviously,
Speaker 1: because food is an absolute necessity, we all get all
Speaker 1: bent out of shape when profit margins jump a little bit.
Speaker 1: But there's still really comparatively low to many businesses, if
Speaker 1: not most.
Speaker 21: That's true, but groceries are always razor thin profit markes.
Speaker 21: So six seven percent is a lot more than the norm.
Speaker 21: The norm is half that or even lower sometimes because
Speaker 21: that's how those businesses have to run to simply maintain
Speaker 21: any level of profitability, and that's why they have to
Speaker 21: get so big. Right, You don't have mom and pop
Speaker 21: grocery stores anymore for the large part, because they simply
Speaker 21: can't afford it to compete with the Kroger's and the
Speaker 21: Walmarts of the world that can function and declare success
Speaker 21: at a two to three percent profit margin. So profit
Speaker 21: margins doubling it doesn't look like a big number. But again,
Speaker 21: my only point of this, like you said, you already
Speaker 21: referenced it is that the profit margin is the American way.
Speaker 21: I often use the phrase United States a profit margin
Speaker 21: because we are all about the stock market. We're all
Speaker 21: about what are the investments we're making worth and all
Speaker 21: that kind of thing. Uh and and this is what
Speaker 21: drives it so and I don't and I will make
Speaker 21: no you know, no bones about it. I personally have
Speaker 21: benefited from the stock market what it has done over
Speaker 21: the last you know, several decades, and that's a core
Speaker 21: part of it. But it's just like anything else, we
Speaker 21: can take it too far and it leaves a mark.
Speaker 1: Well, I noted grocery price is now one point three
Speaker 1: percent higher year over if you look at the September
Speaker 1: as the calendar year for the or the fiscal year.
Speaker 1: At least that's lower than the inflation rate. That's true now.
Speaker 21: Now, the the other headline that goes along with that
Speaker 21: is restaurant prices have gone up by almost four percent. Restaurants,
Speaker 21: of course, are eating the same or are taking the
Speaker 21: same hits to the cost of their goods sold as
Speaker 21: your your average person just buying groceries at the store.
Speaker 21: But profit margins are increasing by four percent at those restaurants,
Speaker 21: which is more than the cost of the groceries. And
Speaker 21: in addition, remember the staff, the weight staff that is
Speaker 21: on you. They're they're working for you, they're they cost
Speaker 21: more now too. So restaurants have seen it from both directions.
Speaker 1: Well, and that's the thing about you know, and Democrats
Speaker 1: are using the ones talking about raising minimum wage of
Speaker 1: twenty five dollars an hour, and whether you're for that
Speaker 1: or against it, if you're for it, it is going
Speaker 1: to increase wherever it has to be raised. You know,
Speaker 1: Restaurant workers are some of the ones that would benefit
Speaker 1: personally from a twenty five dollars per hour salary. But
Speaker 1: that means that the particular restaurant's going to have to
Speaker 1: increase the price of what they're selling to cover the
Speaker 1: increase in.
Speaker 21: Wages, right, And I think this is a place where
Speaker 21: the combination of restaurants having to raise costs for both food,
Speaker 21: which affects people in their homes as well, but restaurants
Speaker 21: also have to deal with the cost of labor. I
Speaker 21: think that's really going to imped to make people look
Speaker 21: very very closely at what does it actually cost me
Speaker 21: to go out and is this food that somebody is
Speaker 21: bringing to me already prepared, is it really better than
Speaker 21: what I could do at home.
Speaker 1: Do I like it enough?
Speaker 21: And I'm looking I'll be honest, Brian, I'm looking squarely
Speaker 21: at Fishes. Frishes has gone through. They've been in the
Speaker 21: headlines lately, right, yeah, close restaurants around town and the
Speaker 21: quality just is and what it used to do.
Speaker 1: You are right, and.
Speaker 21: That's in everybody talking about, well I'm going to miss
Speaker 21: this place, but it's just not what it was. And
Speaker 21: I think I read that about six or seven places
Speaker 21: over the weekend, so I think that's going to happen
Speaker 21: a lot more. That's just a microcosm of what's coming
Speaker 21: for the restaurant industry.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 1: I've but you know, and we can pick on Frishes
Speaker 1: because you're right, And I mean I used to have
Speaker 1: a nostalgic feeling about Frishes. It was one of the
Speaker 1: only quote unquote fast food that I would actually crave
Speaker 1: because I was a little kid. I love the Frishes,
Speaker 1: big boy, But you go in and get it now
Speaker 1: it just isn't the same. But Brian, I don't know
Speaker 1: what your experience has been, but the food that we
Speaker 1: have gotten by way of carry out since the pandemic
Speaker 1: has been over. The quantities are lower, the price is
Speaker 1: much higher, and I got to tell you, the quality
Speaker 1: almost across the board has really suffered. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's the workers that are cooking it or what
Speaker 1: that's coming from, but I have been really, really disappointed
Speaker 1: in a whole lot of carry out over the over
Speaker 1: quite some time.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 21: Yeah, I've seen the same thing, and I think it's
Speaker 21: just all a It's just a factor of where that
Speaker 21: industy tree is right now.
Speaker 6: It's hard to find good help. It's hard to keep
Speaker 6: good help when you.
Speaker 21: Have them, because it doesn't take that much for somebody
Speaker 21: to find a better opportunity anymore. And they're just is
Speaker 21: so much less room for error, Brian, when something again,
Speaker 21: I'll pick on fishes again. I still love fishes. I
Speaker 21: still go for the on the ones that I know
Speaker 21: are still holding it together. I still love the chili.
Speaker 21: Some of them even have a salad bar, and I
Speaker 21: kind of missed that a remnant from Yeah, you know,
Speaker 21: I still go, but I notice it. It's just not
Speaker 21: the same. I'm not at the point yet where I'm
Speaker 21: willing to abandon the ones I've found that are still okay,
Speaker 21: But I feel like that I feel like the clock's ticking.
Speaker 1: It is, and the one I think closest to me
Speaker 1: is one of the ones that's been slated for closure.
Speaker 1: So that's going to end my least easy relationship with
Speaker 1: getting a big boy fixed. Plt's pause. We'll bring Brian
Speaker 1: James back. Not another positive topic to talk about our
Speaker 1: credit card debt. More with money, money, Brian James after
Speaker 1: something about money. Foreign exchange is all about money. You
Speaker 1: want your car fix. You want to fix with a
Speaker 1: full warranty on parts and service. You want a highly
Speaker 1: trained ASU certified Master technician working on it, someone that
Speaker 1: has data access to your manufacturer's technical ability. But you
Speaker 1: don't want to pay what the dealer charges for it.
Speaker 1: And like Brian and I were talking about, prices of
Speaker 1: parts for repairs have gone up as well, supply chain
Speaker 1: issues and disruptions and all that. So you want to
Speaker 1: look at your bottom line. That's why you want to consider,
Speaker 1: and I strongly recommend taking your car into foreign exchange.
Speaker 1: I choose the Westchester location where Austin and his highly
Speaker 1: highly trained skilled mechanics work on my various cars, my
Speaker 1: wife's mind, my daughter's and since she just acquired a
Speaker 1: Nissan to replace her destroyed thank you dear jumping out
Speaker 1: on an expressway Mazda, She too will be experiencing the
Speaker 1: foreign exchange difference getting a car fixed happily so with
Speaker 1: that warranty and paying a lot less money. That's what

Speaker 1: Eight nineteen fifty five krs, the talk station Money Monday,
Speaker 1: Brian James Malworth Financial and before we dive into the
Speaker 1: credit cards, I don't know if you've seen it, Brian
Speaker 1: as a financial planner. I was talking to Christopher Smithman
Speaker 1: this morning, also a financial planner, and we were talking
Speaker 1: about the realities of folks, you know, losing employment and
Speaker 1: having to dip into their retirement savings. You know, some couples,
Speaker 1: both of them lost their jobs. He was talking about
Speaker 1: how difficult you know, let's say you're you're not at
Speaker 1: fifty nine and a half, you can't retire. Yet, let's
Speaker 1: say you're fifty, you lose your situation, a little difficult
Speaker 1: to go out and find a six figure job at
Speaker 1: age fifty after you've gotten a customer that kind of salary.
Speaker 1: And it's even worse when both both a husband and
Speaker 1: wife or partners as the case may be, of lost
Speaker 1: their situation due to down economic times. And that's got
Speaker 1: to be a difficult situation for someone as a financial
Speaker 1: planner because you always caution, as do all of them
Speaker 1: do anything but dip into your four oh one K
Speaker 1: savings because of the penalties that can be you can
Speaker 1: be hit with, and of course your lost opportunity to
Speaker 1: continue enjoying the time value of money and compounding interest.
Speaker 1: But I think reflected in this story that you want
Speaker 1: to bring up people maxing out their credit cards in
Speaker 1: order to get around that situation.
Speaker 21: Absolutely so this survey that comes from bank Rate, and
Speaker 21: we see this pretty frequently from them, it's never surprising
Speaker 21: when the data comes out.
Speaker 6: So over one third of US credit card holders have
Speaker 6: max out their credit cards.
Speaker 21: This is since March of twenty two is the time
Speaker 21: frame here of the survey, so as you might expect,
Speaker 21: the group's most affected are the ones that you kind
Speaker 21: of just reference, so lower income earners, older individuals, and
Speaker 21: families with children under eighteen. In other words, people with
Speaker 21: the less with the least ability to kind of handle volatility.
Speaker 21: So with what they're saying, the reasons are over half
Speaker 21: of them say inflation is the reason, just their normal
Speaker 21: expenses have increased. About thirty eight percent of them said
Speaker 21: that it was some kind of emergency that they had
Speaker 21: to stick on a credit card. Well, what do we
Speaker 21: talk about there all the time, Brian. You got to
Speaker 21: make sure you got oil in the engine. That's the
Speaker 21: emergency fund. Got to have liquid cash on the side
Speaker 21: so you can avoid this. About a quarter of them
Speaker 21: said it was related to a job or some form
Speaker 21: of income that disappeared unexpectedly and they had to shift
Speaker 21: their normal expenses to your credit card. And then about
Speaker 21: twenty two percent say it was medical costs. So all
Speaker 21: of these things though, Brian, or there are things that
Speaker 21: are unavoidable. Stuff is going to happen. That's the way
Speaker 21: life works, every inch of it, Every single one of
Speaker 21: these topics can be addressed with that emergency fund making
Speaker 21: sure there's cash off to the side. That's a conversation
Speaker 21: I have with every single one of my clients. And
Speaker 21: more importantly, they're kids who haven't been through a lot
Speaker 21: of the crazy yet that older people have seen, so
Speaker 21: they haven't seen the full economic cycle and what can happen.
Speaker 21: But it is extremely important to make sure you know,
Speaker 21: and I always tell people, figure out what you spend
Speaker 21: over a six month period, and it's not that hard.
Speaker 21: I'm not asking you to put together a budget frequently.
Speaker 21: I'm just saying, hey, let's look at your take home pay.
Speaker 21: If you're married, let's look at your take home pay
Speaker 21: of your spouse to what hits the bank. That's your input,
Speaker 21: and then your output is everything that that moves around
Speaker 21: and leaves something behind, the difference between what comes in
Speaker 21: and what's left over. That's what you spent. Multiply that
Speaker 21: by at least three or six something like that months,
Speaker 21: and then you'll have a good amount for emergency fund.
Speaker 21: Stick it in a highyield savings account. Check that box
Speaker 21: that you've accomplished that goal. Then you can think about
Speaker 21: the longer term pace.
Speaker 1: You know, Brian, when I think about this, and I
Speaker 1: can't put myself in other people's circumstances, only know what
Speaker 1: I have been through myself and my wife, and I think, God,
Speaker 1: I married a very very frugal woman. I mean, she
Speaker 1: is in high maintenance. She doesn't demand, you know, ten
Speaker 1: thousand dollars purses and crazy stuff like that. Very contemplative
Speaker 1: when it comes to making purchasing decisions. And one of
Speaker 1: the reasons I fell in love with her because that
Speaker 1: was the environment I grew up in as well. So
Speaker 1: we have always always put off buying stuff that we
Speaker 1: think we want if we really couldn't quite afford it,
Speaker 1: or you were going to have to put them on
Speaker 1: a credit card and pay these outrageous credit card debts.
Speaker 1: You know, another day we'll come down the road when
Speaker 1: it within the realm of affordability. But always ask that question,
Speaker 1: do you really truly need it? Whatever it is. I
Speaker 1: know we live in a consumer driven economy and it's
Speaker 1: easy to get caught up in things like designer bags
Speaker 1: or whatever. I'd love to pick on those, But do
Speaker 1: you really need it? And you can find a lot
Speaker 1: of ways in places in your budget where you can
Speaker 1: save that money and have that padding, just because you
Speaker 1: don't react in a consumptive way as your immediate reaction. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think if that's a habit that's a healthy habit
Speaker 1: to put in place. It's no different than eating better,
Speaker 1: exercising regularly. Once you've built the habit, it's less of
Speaker 1: a challenge to achieve in the future. So I think
Speaker 1: back when you know, when we were young and just
Speaker 1: getting started. Yeah, I wanted the nicer car. I wanted
Speaker 1: you know, making money. I should do these things right,
Speaker 1: it can afford it.
Speaker 21: Well, it took a handful of times of both of
Speaker 21: us sitting down and going, you know what, let's not
Speaker 21: do that because we're going to have a baby soon
Speaker 21: or whatever, so we're gonna have to buy a bigger hat, whatever,
Speaker 21: whatever the thing was at the time. A couple of
Speaker 21: rounds of that, and I noticed, Brian, maybe you notice
Speaker 21: the same thing that our desire in buying those things
Speaker 21: just kind of went away, just stop coming up, and
Speaker 21: we eventually almost kind of hit delibrium. I'll be honest,
Speaker 21: I can't remember the last time we had a discussion where,
Speaker 21: you know, where is this do we really want to
Speaker 21: stretch to do this? It just doesn't come up. We've
Speaker 21: kind of settled into our routine and we don't really
Speaker 21: have money conversations or arguments.
Speaker 1: Anymore exactly, exactly, exactly, yeah, And I can't remember the
Speaker 1: last time. I mean it's been decades probably since my
Speaker 1: wife and I had to have it as a conversation
Speaker 1: like that, because both of our default modes, as you
Speaker 1: spring from the proposition that no, you don't need it.
Speaker 6: At the end of the day, will.
Speaker 21: It change we buy that flashy new car, it's going
Speaker 21: to get whacked with a soccer ball in the Yeah,
Speaker 21: that's by one that already has a soccer ball.
Speaker 1: Then well, and then you get to the point where
Speaker 1: if you've frugally saved enough, then you can splurge every
Speaker 1: once in a while as long as it manages within
Speaker 1: your budget. So now, real quickly before we part credit
Speaker 1: card that what type of recommendation you give to people
Speaker 1: who are maxing out? Because maxed out could mean anything.
Speaker 1: It could be five thousand, it could be twenty five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. I mean, I don't know what people's maxes
Speaker 1: on credit cards. But what's the best that people can do.
Speaker 1: I know, searching for a lower inch credit card and
Speaker 1: transferring a balance as one, But anything else you have
Speaker 1: a recommendation on.
Speaker 21: It's simple, briand pay attention, right because I've seen a
Speaker 21: lot of cases recently where people have they've maxed out
Speaker 21: some cards or they just have a higher amount of
Speaker 21: credit card debt and it, you know, and this again
Speaker 21: is usually adult children of my of my clients who
Speaker 21: they just want me to kind of talk to and
Speaker 21: let's just just be an arms length away and explain this.
Speaker 21: And what I'm hearing more and more is people who
Speaker 21: have maxed this stuff out, but it's still they still
Speaker 21: have a strong credit score, and they still are getting
Speaker 21: these zero percent balance of balance transfer offers while they're
Speaker 21: paying twenty five twenty seven percent.
Speaker 6: So pay attention.
Speaker 21: Credit card debt is not evil. If you let it
Speaker 21: become evil, it will know then it is. But pay
Speaker 21: attention to what you're paying in terms of interest rates.
Speaker 21: Don't let it get away. Mark the calendar as to
Speaker 21: when that promo rate goes away, because that's what the
Speaker 21: bank is hoping for. Literally put it on your calendar,
Speaker 21: put it an outlook, or whatever you're managing to remind you,
Speaker 21: I need to solve this problem by this timeframe. And
Speaker 21: it's okay to move from one credit card to another
Speaker 21: balance transfer offer if that's your situation. Keep the interest
Speaker 21: rate down and you'll be able to get back on
Speaker 21: top of it. If you let it get to twenty
Speaker 21: five twenty seven percent like the banks are hoping, you'll
Speaker 21: never get out from under that burden.
Speaker 6: So pay attention.
Speaker 1: Excellent advice from Brian James will get one more segment
Speaker 1: with him. Hey, it looks like they're trying to buy
Speaker 1: some more votes, that's my take on it. We'll hear

Speaker 9: through Wachman inbound seventy four heavy above Montana shouting Vermont
Speaker 9: fifty five KR.
Speaker 1: See the talk station May thirty one, if if you've
Speaker 1: got KCD talk station doing that money Monday thing with
Speaker 1: all Worth Financials Brian James oh and Brian one of
Speaker 1: my listeners did point out and we didn't bring it
Speaker 1: up in the concept of inflation, but Tim I think
Speaker 1: right pointed out it's the running of the printing press
Speaker 1: does tend to water down the monetaries or water down
Speaker 1: the value of the dollar. And I know they've been
Speaker 1: hard at work, not just this administration, but prior ones
Speaker 1: hard at work running the printing press. Of course, that
Speaker 1: money translates it to speaking of credit card debt, the
Speaker 1: amount of money we have to pay a debt service
Speaker 1: which is now more than we spend on military. So
Speaker 1: as long as they're running the press, our money doesn't
Speaker 1: go nearly as far. So I think that is a
Speaker 1: valuable point worth bringing up as we pivot over to, oh, look,
Speaker 1: something that might run the printing press more. For giving
Speaker 1: four point five billion dollars in student debt for public
Speaker 1: service workers. That's kind of insulting, isn't it.
Speaker 3: Brian.
Speaker 1: See there, I'm here, here, here we are. Okay, the
Speaker 1: volume got turned down somehow. I don't know. Go ahead,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Brian.
Speaker 21: Hey, Well, one quick point that I was making before
Speaker 21: I knew you could not hear me, was it we
Speaker 21: have a big election coming up.
Speaker 6: Don't know if you know.
Speaker 21: But on the point of in, Tim's exactly correct. The
Speaker 21: printing press has been running full steam. But don't think
Speaker 21: you're going to change that at the ballot box. It
Speaker 21: has been decades since either party actually cared about how
Speaker 21: much debt we have created. So yeah, and that's one
Speaker 21: actually not going to get changed with one administration, right.
Speaker 1: Well, one thing, you know, it's certainly going to go
Speaker 1: up to Harris at least, I mean she at least
Speaker 1: is promising all these different programs and policies and platforms
Speaker 1: that will most certainly themselves increase the amount of money spent.
Speaker 1: But Donald Trump is not running on a fiscal hawk
Speaker 1: platform either, and if he was, I think he would
Speaker 1: have said it by now. But I don't hear anything
Speaker 1: from Donald Trump about cutting sufficiently government spending or outlays
Speaker 1: in that regard, so pivoting over they are trying to
Speaker 1: buy some votes on I can't characterize it any other
Speaker 1: way than this, you know, as someone who did go
Speaker 1: to college, and I think my parents, every single all
Speaker 1: the time, is the gift of life, the best gift
Speaker 1: they ever gave me, And the gift of education comes
Speaker 1: in right at number two. I was fortunate enough to
Speaker 1: have them there to cover my college debt, but they
Speaker 1: paid it off and I still feel as though if
Speaker 1: I hadn't gone to college, and my tax dollars are
Speaker 1: being used to forgive other people's going to college. You know,
Speaker 1: what about people who went in the trades? What about
Speaker 1: those who paid off their loan, you know, properly and
Speaker 1: under the contract that they signed promising to do it.
Speaker 1: It seems to me this is something that would alienate
Speaker 1: more people than actually bring them into the fold. But
Speaker 1: what do I know?
Speaker 21: Well, and I think it's our sort of our unwillingness
Speaker 21: as a society to really talk about the future.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 21: This is why we get politicians who don't want to
Speaker 21: fix it because we don't want to talk about it
Speaker 21: involve sacrifice. What I think about, Brian, is what about
Speaker 21: the people who what about the college students who are
Speaker 21: freshmen and sophomores now racking up debt. If we forgive
Speaker 21: a bunch of debt now for the people who currently
Speaker 21: have it and are under payment programs, what about the
Speaker 21: people who are just outside that window? Aren't we going
Speaker 21: to have to have having set that precedent, Aren't we
Speaker 21: going to have to have that conversation again and again
Speaker 21: and again. Now all of a sudden, we're ultimately offering
Speaker 21: free college education, which was never the goal, of course,
Speaker 21: But if we've set the precedent that the government is
Speaker 21: going to pick it up and wipe the debt away,
Speaker 21: we're completely ignoring where the problem comes from in the
Speaker 21: first place, which is runaway tuition cost the cost of
Speaker 21: getting an education.
Speaker 1: So well, and doesn't this have the exact opposite effect.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're going to get your loans forgiven,
Speaker 1: then there's no incentive for colleges to lower the cost
Speaker 1: of tuition.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, there's no there's no gain.
Speaker 21: If the demand is going to be there anyway, then
Speaker 21: the colleges can just say cool, the money comes from
Speaker 21: a different direction.
Speaker 6: What difference does it make? So not a great way
Speaker 6: to run a business.
Speaker 21: So but uh so, what they're doing here is that
Speaker 21: there's a debt program that has just been announced. Of course,
Speaker 21: as you reference just prior to the election, Pretty sure
Speaker 21: we did this four years ago. Yeah, if I remember correctly,
Speaker 21: potentially eight million Americans could be affected by this.
Speaker 6: So Secretary of Education.
Speaker 21: Could automatically cancel debts for anybody who they expect to
Speaker 21: default in the next two years. And that's going to
Speaker 21: be based on criteria such as household income assets and
Speaker 21: pre existing debt. Now, it's interesting to me if you,
Speaker 21: if I, if I, if I'm somebody who tilted this
Speaker 21: way and I understand what the criteria is, I might
Speaker 21: scramble to put myself into that criteria in the short
Speaker 21: run here, so could.
Speaker 6: Wind up creating issues where there weren't any before.
Speaker 21: Also looking at chronic illness, medical debt, childcare costs, and
Speaker 21: also impacts.
Speaker 6: Of natural disasters.
Speaker 21: We've had enough of those this year where you can
Speaker 21: kind of highlight these are the people that are looking
Speaker 21: to help where we can afford. It remains to be seen,
Speaker 21: but it does have to get through some approval processes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and litigation as well, because all the other efforts
Speaker 1: to forgive debt haven't gone very well for the Biden administration.
Speaker 1: Power of the purse rests in Congress, I suppose, so
Speaker 1: Biden's saying it doesn't mean it's necessarily going to happen.
Speaker 1: Brian James, always a pleasure having you on the program
Speaker 1: every Monday, beginning at eight oh five Money Monday with
Speaker 1: Brian James. Thanks to all Worth Financial for loaning you out.

Speaker 1: Israel did on the Iranians the day. So by all accounts,
Speaker 1: they stayed away from oil fields and energy production, but
Speaker 1: did target bomb manufacturing facilities of the military installation. So
Speaker 1: that keep your popcorn out on that. That is not
Speaker 1: over by any stretch of the imagination. So we'll get
Speaker 1: him back next week. Go to the phones and see
Speaker 1: what Carl's got. Hey, Carl, thanks for calling this morning.
Speaker 1: Happy Monday to.
Speaker 24: You, Happy Monday. The nice thing about Monday is that
Speaker 24: the Sunday morning television shows or over with. I'm telling you, yeah,
Speaker 24: you are.
Speaker 1: Talking about the Bengals game, aren't you?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 24: Are the Bengals game is over with? My goodness. I
Speaker 24: heard the interview with Sharon Coole Reach and she was
Speaker 24: discussing what is occurring at city Hall. I am a
Speaker 24: public service announcement for the residents of Cincinnati. They might
Speaker 24: not not only be coming after your gas doves, they
Speaker 24: may be coming after your gas street lamps. The UCEE
Speaker 24: School of Environment and Sustainability is conducting a short survey
Speaker 24: about gas light lamps. These are the lamps out by
Speaker 24: the street that give off the light.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 24: Purpose yeah, The purpose of the REACH HI just to
Speaker 24: collect data about community perceptions of gas lights, natural gas,
Speaker 24: and air pollution more generally that was their words. Now
Speaker 24: listeners can find the survey by searching on community perception
Speaker 24: of gas lights in Cincinnati and gas lights are in
Speaker 24: the Cincinnati neighborhoods of Clifton, pleasant Ridge. Montgomery, Ohio has
Speaker 24: gas lights on one street. London, England, and Berlin, Germany
Speaker 24: had gas lights. San Diego has a gas light district.
Speaker 24: And of course real estate agents have sold many homes
Speaker 24: in Clifton due to the gas lights. Now Clifton's gas
Speaker 24: lights are on the National Register of Historic Places. Yes,
Speaker 24: it's gonna be interesting. They try to get rid of
Speaker 24: them when they are on the National Register of Historic Places.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 24: Now, I can't remember all the questions. It was a
Speaker 24: short survey, but some of the questions stood out. One
Speaker 24: of the questions was where does your household get power from?
Speaker 24: And they listed natural gas, coal, solar, not sure or other.
Speaker 24: They never mentioned electricity. I don't know if that was
Speaker 24: an oversight or a typographical area or you know, this
Speaker 24: is a student survey, or if it was part of
Speaker 24: the survey to get you to fill in the other blank.
Speaker 24: And then of course they ask does your neighborhood have
Speaker 24: gas lights. Oh, here's one. Is air pollution a concern
Speaker 24: of yours? But one of the questions that really stood
Speaker 24: out was, here's the question to divide everybody. All tax
Speaker 24: payers pay for the operation of gas lights. Do you
Speaker 24: think that all residents should pay for the operation of
Speaker 24: gas lights? And I put down yes, because all residents
Speaker 24: already pay for the electricity and the maintenance of the
Speaker 24: street light. Some years ago, I saw the cost associated
Speaker 24: with every electric street light out there. You know, the
Speaker 24: city of sincat he has to write a check every
Speaker 24: so often to doke energy for the electricity and the
Speaker 24: maintenance of those street lights. So it's going to be
Speaker 24: interesting to see where that goes from.
Speaker 1: It will be now, on one hand, I don't know
Speaker 1: what the operation cost is for a gas light compared
Speaker 1: to a modern perhaps l E lighting system. Now they
Speaker 1: may not be as romantic or attractive, but the LED
Speaker 1: lighting solutions they make these days can look very warm
Speaker 1: and you know, sort of even mimic a gas light. Look.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you go to home depot, you can
Speaker 1: see those old school kind of LED light bulbs and
Speaker 1: they can flicker and look like gaslights. So is you know,
Speaker 1: replacing gas and subsisting with an LED conversion. How much
Speaker 1: that is going to cost. What is the daily or
Speaker 1: monthly or annual operating costs for gas versus these similar
Speaker 1: operating costs for an LED solution lighting, which I'm going
Speaker 1: to presume that at least is less expensive than a
Speaker 1: traditional incandestion operation. So that's the thing you need to
Speaker 1: look at. How dear and near and dear to the
Speaker 1: hearts and minds of the folks that live in gaslight
Speaker 1: districts are actually having an actual gas bulb if you
Speaker 1: can mimic it enough to subsid it out with something
Speaker 1: that's cheaper. Question is would it ultimately be cheaper given
Speaker 1: the replacement costs and operating costs questions which I don't know.
Speaker 2: You have a point there, yes, so you know, I
Speaker 2: don't mind.
Speaker 1: Looking at things like that when it's done practically and logically.
Speaker 1: What it sounds me like though, this is all wrapped
Speaker 1: up in carbon production and it probably have nothing to
Speaker 1: do with economic reality. Once the rubber meets the road,
Speaker 1: they just want to get rid of everything that is
Speaker 1: run by uh, of course carbon producing products. Then ask yourself, Carl,
Speaker 1: where does the electricity come from that runs the converted
Speaker 1: street lights, and I think you will find pretty quickly
Speaker 1: that it does not come from green resources or sources.
Speaker 1: Appreciate the call man five one, three, seven, four, nine,
Speaker 1: fifty eight hundred and eighty two to three. Talk got
Speaker 1: one more segment to go through. If you want to call,

Speaker 1: has been changed again. It's a real moving target, that one.
Speaker 1: So if you're planning on going to it, the Carlson

Speaker 1: hopefully unless they change it again in they're running out
Speaker 1: of time for that one vote Moreno, whether you go
Speaker 1: to the rally or not, I appreciate that. Thanks Mareene
Speaker 1: for helping my listeners stay on top of that moving target. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I want to mention real quick here if I can
Speaker 1: get both of them in. For those folks, you gotta
Speaker 1: remember it takes a long time litigation. I've mentioned this
Speaker 1: so many times over the years, not that it comes
Speaker 1: as shock to anybody, but from complaint to final adjudication
Speaker 1: can be years. The case of COVID nineteen, people who
Speaker 1: were fired because they had legitimate religious objections getting a
Speaker 1: vaccination or finally getting their due and getting their day
Speaker 1: in court. We got another victory here Bay Area Rapid
Speaker 1: Transportation District employees mc bart out in San Francisco. It's
Speaker 1: the I guess their version of the streetcar public transportation.
Speaker 1: Six of them are each going to be receiving more
Speaker 1: than one million dollars. This was a federal case. The
Speaker 1: jury sided with the fired employees seven point eight million
Speaker 1: dollars total verdict, again only six employees. After a dispute
Speaker 1: over Bart's twenty twenty one mandate requiring folks to get
Speaker 1: vaccinated or lose their job, they argue it violated the
Speaker 1: religious police First Amendment. First point the First Amendment freedom
Speaker 1: free exercise of religion. The government cannot interfere with that.
Speaker 1: Guess what it did. Attorneys wrote, of the one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy nine religious objector employees, not one received an accommodation.
Speaker 1: Exclusion to religious people from the enjoyment of a right
Speaker 1: stands in violation of the First Amendment's religious clauses and
Speaker 1: federal and state anti discrimination in employment laws. Thank you
Speaker 1: to the Pacific Justice Institute. They're the ones that well
Speaker 1: manage the altigation expenses bringing this lawsuit on behalf of
Speaker 1: the six employees. Their lead attorney said, the you know,
Speaker 1: renal employees chose to lose their livelihood rather than deny
Speaker 1: their faith. That in and of itself shows the sincerity
Speaker 1: and depth of their convictions after nearly three years of struggle.
Speaker 1: These essential workers feel they were heard and understood by
Speaker 1: the jury and are overjoyed and relieved by the verdict.
Speaker 1: I can only imagine that they are and moving over
Speaker 1: to Judicial Watch. I've had them in the program many
Speaker 1: times over the years. Another organization that can handle the
Speaker 1: cost of litigation in behalf of them well cases they
Speaker 1: want to advance. Judicial Watch announced last week the US
Speaker 1: Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has issued
Speaker 1: an opinion reversing a lower court ruling in Mississippi's election
Speaker 1: law that permitted absentee ballots to be received as late
Speaker 1: as five business days after the election. So Judicial Watch
Speaker 1: fil the civil rights lawsuit against them, and that's because
Speaker 1: it conflicted with federal law. According to the Fifth Circuit opinion,
Speaker 1: Congress statutorily designated a singular quote day for the election
Speaker 1: close quote. Members of Congress and the appointment of presidential electors. Text,
Speaker 1: precedent and historical practice confirmed this quote day for the
Speaker 1: election close quote is the day by which ballots must
Speaker 1: be cast by voters and received by state officials. Because
Speaker 1: Mississippi's statute allows ballot receipt up to five days after
Speaker 1: the day of election. It is preempted by federal law.
Speaker 1: We reversed the district Court's contrary judgment and remand for
Speaker 1: further proceedings. So good news. Maybe we will know on
Speaker 1: Wednesday the outcome of the election. Maybe we won't. George,
Speaker 1: welcome to the program, Thanks for calling today, and a
Speaker 1: happy Monday to you, sir.
Speaker 5: Well, thank you.
Speaker 4: I was thinking about the college loans. Maybe if the
Speaker 4: colleges had to provide those loans whole as opposed to
Speaker 4: somebody else and suffer the consequences of making bad loans,
Speaker 4: they might improve their products so people can pay for
Speaker 4: their education.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know what's funny about I laughed out
Speaker 1: loud when you said that. George. It's a brilliant thought
Speaker 1: because look at it this way. You got a young,
Speaker 1: wide eyed, seventeen eighteen year old ready to start college
Speaker 1: out choosing his or her major. They have to apply
Speaker 1: to the college, and the college has to do the underwriting. Right,
Speaker 1: let's take a look at who this person is and
Speaker 1: where they are and where they might be after receiving
Speaker 1: a four year or more, perhaps from our university. They
Speaker 1: want to be an engineer. That's a good value they
Speaker 1: seem to be smart, they've got great grades. They'll make
Speaker 1: great engineers. Engineers usually do pretty well. Okay, that passes
Speaker 1: underwriting approval. What if the kid wants to get into
Speaker 1: an art major or a I don't know, some sort
Speaker 1: of social sciences major where there are no employment opportunities, George,
Speaker 1: then the college would have to reflect on that.
Speaker 5: Huh.
Speaker 1: They're going to spend eighty thousand dollars between now in
Speaker 1: the next four years to get a degree in oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, naval contemplation or here, I'll take a
Speaker 1: go at my own political science. Is that going to
Speaker 1: return on value that's gonna give them enough money to
Speaker 1: pay off this student loan? Probably not, so they would
Speaker 1: fail underwriting.
Speaker 5: Huh.
Speaker 1: Now, if you remove the whole underwriting process and you
Speaker 1: give everybody the opportunity to go without any just sort
Speaker 1: of comparison or analysis of what their future earning is
Speaker 1: going to be, then uh ah, that's going to be
Speaker 1: something the federal government would do that is not going
Speaker 1: to be doing something that a sane lender would do. Right,
Speaker 1: Welcome to underwriting. That's a good call, George. I appreciate
Speaker 1: that Sharon Cooley has joined the program this morning. It's
Speaker 1: worth looking into her article from the Inquire sixty five
Speaker 1: million dollar windfall in the City of Cincinnati's budget and
Speaker 1: what they decided to spend the money on. We didn't
Speaker 1: even can't get a chance to scratch a whole lot
Speaker 1: of the surface of that one. So do a little
Speaker 1: research on that one and see the rest of it.
Speaker 1: Sharon said she's gonna be doing some follow up reporting
Speaker 1: on that because sounded to me like a bit of
Speaker 1: a Shenanigan's declaration, considering, Oh my god, the dire predictions.
Speaker 2: Woe is me.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be terrible in the city if we don't
Speaker 1: sell our railroad. We don't know that turns out, turns around.
Speaker 1: They're sitting down or sitting on an extra sixty five
Speaker 1: million dollars. Christophers smithament on with a Monday morning Smith
Speaker 1: event Get out and vote. That was the primary point
Speaker 1: of his initial event. Go vote, Get to the Hamilt
Speaker 1: County Board of Elections or your local board of elections,
Speaker 1: get that vote booked and banked. Lord knows what's gonna
Speaker 1: happen between now and next Tuesday. At least you'll have
Speaker 1: it done and you know your vote will be counted
Speaker 1: at least that is our initial presumption. And of course
Speaker 1: Money Monday with Brian James, how inflation is hitting your
Speaker 1: grocery cart, US card holders have maxed out on their
Speaker 1: credit cards in too many cases. And finally that student
Speaker 1: debt relief that will provided the impetus for that last
Speaker 1: college I appreciate tune in tomorrow we get the Bright
Speaker 1: Part inside Scoop at eight oh five. Daniel Davis on
Speaker 1: vacation this week, so we'll have another opportunity for a
Speaker 1: different guest or more phone calls, which I really enjoy.
Speaker 1: Thanks for the conversation we had this morning. I truly
Speaker 1: appreciate it. I appreciate you tuning into the morning show,
Speaker 1: and I of course appreciate Joe Strecker, executive producer, for
Speaker 1: doing all he does to make it work right. Have
Speaker 1: a wonderful day, folks, I hope you do anyway. Fifty
