55KRC Monday Show - Smitherman, Money Monday

Episode Transcript

(00:08):
Five o five. I think ifI have k r C the talk station,
happy Monday end to my vacation,some sense it was a vacation.

(00:32):
Yeah, I am. I coulduse a vacation again. That's the strangest
thing, you know. You takea vacation to relax and you know,
just unwine and get it out ofyour system, which I was thankfully able
to do. We need to facethe weight of having a return to work.
It's like, okay, oh,I love my job, and I
love my listeners, and I certainlyappreciate Kevin Gordon last morning garried Jeff Walker

(00:55):
covering for me for the other remainderof the vacation time I had with my
family, which was at absolutely wonderful. I had never ever been out west
before. We were the high bidderon a house that the wonderful family,
local family, the Guggenheims, hadthis beautiful home and Victor I Don which
is on the other side of theTeetans from Jackson Hole, Wyoming. So

(01:17):
we kind of flew into Jackson Holeand then drove around. I don't know
if you saw it. The road, the pass that goes directly from Jackson
to basically Victor Washed out completely.That was the Teeton Pass and it's going
to be months before that thing getsrepaired. That adds an extra hour and
a half to get from one sideto the other because you have to go

(01:38):
down around the mountain range and thenback up. So you know, first
world problems. Obviously we're able toovercome them. And the thing about it
is the extra hour and a halfdrive. It's such epic beauty out there.
I never got tired of driving.Probably drove seven hundred and fifty plus
miles while out there, which isweird because I rarely drive that far to
get from one point to another,just to take a vacation. But family

(02:02):
had a great time. Got seesome things that were just absolutely just indescribably
beautiful. I say, put iton your bucket list. Yellowstone amazing,
absolutely amazing, packed with people,but amazing, huh worth the extra weight
I supposed to get in getting inalone took like an hour and a half.

(02:23):
The line of traffic was amazing,not in a good way, but
just saw things. The grand guysgot to see old faithful sul for ponds
and all the weird, weird weird. It's like otherworldly landscape out there.
Got to see some wildlife moves,didn't see any bears, but final analysis,

(02:45):
it was wonderful time and I wantto thank especially my family, my
wife and my kids. Just weall got along swimmingly and it got to
see things and spend time together andsomething I'm gonna remember obviously for the rest
of my life. And I reallywant to give my daughter props for taking
some gorgeous photographs. If we're friendson Facebook, you can see just a

(03:06):
very small sliver of the photographs totake on the trip. So it's in
photographs as beautiful as they are,don't do it justice. So that was
that. So again thanks to myfamily for that wonderful time. And you
can feel free to call maybe something'son your mind. There's so many things
that went on while I was gone. Obviously that's always the case. I
tried to stick my head below wateror in the sand as the case maybe,

(03:30):
although I did stay up on thingson a very very light level with
a nod to my wife who wouldgive me the hairy eyeball when I was
on the computer trying to follow thenews. I just can't stop doing it.
Coming up today Christopher's Smithem and thankGod for Christopher. I bet he
had a great Father's Day. Familyman he is. He'll be on at
seven thirty with the Smith event.No idea what he's going to be talking

(03:51):
about. Never do we get tofind out together. And I think that's
that's actually kind of a good thingfrom my standpoint. And it is Monday,
so we get Brian James money.Monday's all with financial money Monday,
Brian James. Today, we're talkingwith him about the unloved stock market rally.
Obviously the stock market's doing great,but vast majority of Americans not feeling
it. You think inflation has somethingto do with the price of housing,

(04:13):
the fact that foreclosures have gone throughthe roof. The cost of housing's insane,
exacerbated in large part, or I'dsay particularly by the fact that we
have an influx of unregulated illegal immigrantsstill coming across the southern border in spite
of Joe Biden's fake efforts to executiveorder to stop to that. How's that
working out for you? Saudi Arabiaending the petro dollar deal that is sounds

(04:38):
frightening on its face. Is itas frightening as it sounds? As our
relationships around the world erode and deteriorateunder the current administration. Can Trump turn
that around? He was making greatinroads in the Middle East before he was
voted out of office and never givenreally much credit for that. The end
of the Petro dollar deal with SaudiArabia, millions are getting older millionaires rather

(05:01):
another article, uh and subject matterwith Brian James. Yeah, that makes
sense to me. You got ahuge baby boom population have been socking away
money in their for one case,and you can become a millionaire by well
dutifully investing money and of course goingback to the stock market. Really over
time, you always make money inthe stock market, so it doesn't shock

(05:25):
me a wit. And the articlethough that was the predicate for this is
really one of those class warfare things, one of those presses for taxes on
on death. You know your yourdeath taxes, and I always view those
as just an affronted justice. Whyis it or how is it that the

(05:47):
government can justify taking really any sliceof your assets because of your death.
It's your property. That's what willsand the like are for. I mean,
even if you don't die with awill, you can go through probate
court it's going to be divided afterthe court take their share among the eligible

(06:08):
family members. But if you havea will, you're entitled because you earn
the money to pass it along whoeveryou want. But more and more of
these millionaires in this criticism is aimedat those that inherited their wealth and therefore
didn't earn their wealth, which isthe springboard predicated for the government, you
know, saying well, that's justnot fair and taking it. Well,

(06:31):
my perception is the government taking itis unfair, it's unjustifiable. The mere
death of someone allows the government tocome in and grab whatever the hell slice
they decide they want to take.It always raises concerns with me about four
to one case. My wife andI've been dutifully putting away money in four
to one case since we started working, And yeah, at what rate is

(06:54):
it going to be taxed? That'salways worried me from the get go.
You know, they could make itanything they want, change the law and
tax it at whatever rate they want. So just because you may be a
self made millionaire by virtue of yoursavings and investments over the years, it
doesn't mean that it's going to makeyour return on investment, maybe snatch it

(07:15):
up by some rapacious government in needof money for whatever particular reason. Anyway,
like I said, I'd love tohear from you five one, three,
seven, four, nine, fiftytwo to three talk, don't forget
fifty five care Sea dot com hasalways got podcasts from last week, including
Tech Friday and Dave Haver. Apparentlythe Shoots invest went on over the weekend.
Had to miss that one because thetravel plans. That's okay. I've

(07:39):
been there every year for so manyyears. I missed it. But of
course priorities do happen. So it'sa podcast for their fifty five CASEEA dot
com for the I heard mediums.You can stream your audio wherever you happen
to be. And since I wastalking about Yellowstone and having been there,
this could be in the stack ofstupid and don't do this. And you
gotta talk about the pop and thenumber of people there, amazing, different

(08:01):
nationalities, different languages, People fromall over the world go to see the
epic beauty there, and there aresigns everywhere telling you the paths you must
stay on in places you cannot go. Joe must have remember that that's where
I was Yellowstone tourists have been sentencedin prison to jail rather for being an

(08:22):
idiot and getting off of the pathswhere it says do not leave the pathway
and walking into a very dangerous geothermalarea. Got to see the grand guys
are Apparently that thing just sort ofrandomly goes off. They got to pin
down to about you know, likean hour or so leeway, but it's
only every five or six hours orlonger. My son was able to get
it planned. So we got toYellowstone in time to see the grand guys

(08:45):
that go off, and as weturned away from the grand guys that are
off in the distance, Old Faithfulwent off. So blussed to see those
two events, but distress to seethat there's this idiot and one of I'm
sure many, but they made anexample out of them. So he's in
the Yellowstone Light National Park wandering offof the path into the dangerous geothermal area.

(09:07):
HMM. Department of Justice press releasesaid they sentenced Lynnwood, Washington resident
Victor Pushka PUSHTNYUK seven days in jailfor trespassing. This twenty one year old
guy wandered away from the boardwalk toSteamboat Geyser in Yellowstones Norris Geyser Basin,

(09:30):
or to the Department of Justice.The steamboat guys are at the world's tallest
active geyser and the most dangerous geyserin the world. They say it's erratic,
it's unpredictable. Eruption is going toraise anywhere between from six to three
hundred feet high, and they're hot. Folks, learn that when you go
there. PLOY apparently saw somebody walkingout of the board ward. This is

(09:52):
they got photographs of this idiot wanderingclearly in marked the zones that say you
can't leave. PLOY took a photothe defendant clearly crossed over the fence walking
up the hillside within fifteen to twentyfeet of the steamboat guys er. Steam
Vent told the officer he left theboardwalk. Why do you think? Ah,
yes to take photos. While hewas speaking with the officer speaking with

(10:15):
this guy, showed him the signsposted literally everywhere pointing out that it is
illegal to leave the boardwalk and thewalking near the thermal area is very dangerous
because of the weak ground layer,the geothermal features of mud pots, heated
steam and water, and other dangersassociated with walking in the heated unpredictable geothermal
area, in addition to seven daysand jail fifteen hundred and fifty dollars in

(10:39):
fines, all of which well deservedmagistrate presiding over the case pointed out,
you know, listen, this guy'sactions were seen by the people around him.
They might have thought that it wasokay to do the same thing,
and if every visitor to Yellowstone disobeyedthe rules of the park would be destroyed
and no one would be able toenjoy it. Amen, it's not a

(11:00):
it's about everybody else in this particularcase. Let me tell you in terms
of taxpayer dollars, say what youwant about the National Parks well maintained.
The road's pristine and considering how manypeople they service, I got to give
props to the National Park Service fordoing such a wonderful job because I was
blessed and pleased to be able tosee it and witness it. Because if

(11:22):
you had idiots like this walking aroundall the time, it wouldn't be there.
And on a corollary note, apparentlywhat is quite popular Lake Tahoe Beach
sand Harmor Beach, one of LakeTahoe's most popular spots. You're not going
to have need reservations to ensure aspot. They have been overwhelmed so much

(11:43):
with visitors that have become basically notworth visiting. And honestly, I get
that too, having experienced it walkingaround on trails. Oh and one more
thing on that vacation out there.If you go, you're going to do
yourself a disserve us if you don'twalk the beautiful trails and there are hundreds

(12:05):
and hundreds of trails. A wordof caution, and I'm looking in the
mirror speaking to myself on this one. You better be in good shape if
you want to really enjoy yourself outthere. Yeah, you'll run into a
painful reality that perhaps maybe a littlecardiovascular workout from time to time might benefit

(12:26):
you generally speaking, but it certainlyis a prerequisite when you're visiting that region
of the country. Jeez, Louise, I gotta get in shape. And
thank you to Tommy and Nancy,my dear friend's Tommy. Nancy came to
listener lunch last time and after myneighbors up the street get into that retirement

(12:46):
age late fifties, and they weretalking to me about medical insurance, which
is you know, an impediment.If you want to retire, you know
you gotta be paying Cobra. Youwhat Cobra rates are. Well, after
I was talking to him, Isay, listen, call my friend John
Roman Covers. They were paying mybuddy, Tommy's doing this Cobra thing,
and he actually told me what hispremium was. I was like, I
said, I guarantee you that coversince he and the team will get you

(13:13):
better medical insurance and save you moneyover what you're doing. I have no
idea what you'll end up with,but I guarantee you it'll be better coverage
for a lot less money. Guesswhat, I was right. They actually
spent quite a bit of time onthe phone with one of the covers since
he team, they went through allthe different options and they were blown away
by what's out there. And youwill be two. But it's not a
one size fit all thing like youremployer plan. No. You get hundreds

(13:33):
of the insurance companies and thousands ofpolicies that the team is working on to
put a package together that provides youlike dollar one coverage, upfront coverage and
if you're paying Cobra right now.Again, I cannot emphasize enough to go
ahead and give him a call.I think they saved him more than seven
hundred dollars per month with better coveragefive one three eight hundred call five one

(13:56):
three eight hundred two two five fiveno obligations. Spend a few time,
a little time with them. Theycan tell you whether or not they can
provide you with this wonderful benefit.I'm pretty certain they can cover sincey dot
com to start the process, aswell as a forum right there. You
can fill out Coversinsey dot com fiftyfive KRC our talk station got By five

(14:18):
twenty three fifty five k SEE detalkstation. Most listeners know who've been listening
to the program. I always getto judge innit of Polatano on Wednesdays at
eight thirty, which I really lookforward to. And occasionally we get to
hear from Congressman Thomas Massley. Usuallyit's about a month once a month,
and that always precedes the Politano andregular listeners know they got like it's a
man crush thing going on. It'sthe three of us, three way man

(14:41):
crush. I'll go ahead and dophrasing if you want. Joe but bought
we all little l Libertary libertary mindset. We believe in the Constitution, what
the limitations are, and always seemto have as mutual admiration society. Well,
looks like we're going to get itlocked in to have a long conversation
with me facilitating with the two ofthem. So Topolitano, Massy and me.

(15:07):
Not sure when it's going to happen, but Judge of Polatano I guess
ran into congressroom Massy and they broughtit up and said they'd love to do
it. So yay on that one, and yay for congressrom Messi. This
kind of thing I like to see. After Trump got convicted for this one
hundred and thirty thousand dollars hush moneypayment, claiming it was campaign contributions,
Congress from Messi brought it up onthe Pie five Caursey Morning show last time.

(15:28):
He was on, what about theseventeen million dollars in tax payer your
money? Again? Love to pointit out, y'all went to work so
they could take taxes out to giveto a slush fund to pay off people
who brought sexual misconducts claims against membersof Congress. Yes, seventeen million dollars

(15:48):
paid out, so far to silencepeople who brought sexual misconduct claims against members
of Congress. Hmmm, question arethey going to be investigated? Is that
campaign contributions President Trump? Did theyreport the payments' campaign contribution? Hm?
How about no? I guarantee youthey didn't. Massey pointed this out.

(16:11):
The irony here is that this isgoing to be vacated, referring to Donald
Trump's trial, and this trial wasall about trying to influence elections, using
the process as the punishment. Ofcourse it was. Anybody paying attention to
it knows it was a made upcase on made up charges. Bragg charging
Trump with thirty four filmingies based ona handful of alleged business reporting violations misdemeanors

(16:33):
that the statute limitation expired on.However, Bragg filed them as felonies,
claiming they were in support of someother unidentified crime, which we all still
are kind of puzzling over. Goahead and ask one of the people on
the left what exactly was it thatDonald Trump did. They're at a loss.
They were having a hearing on this. According to Twitchy, citing Massy's

(16:59):
comments, Congress has paid over seventeenmillion dollars in hush money for sexual misconduct
inside of the offices in these buildings. And what's more is that it was
taxpayer money. The allegation is thePresident Trump paid one hundred and thirty thousand
dollars of his own money. Masseypointed out, but here in Congress,
there might be some here on thedays I mean for turning loose all of

(17:22):
these records who had the taxpayer payfor their sexual misconduct charges, the hush
money. I bet there's some overthere. There may be some over here
refern to both sides of the politicalledger. Of course, I don't know,
but I do know it's taxpayer money, and I do know that not
a single penny of that has beenturned in his campaign finance expense. Is
the FEC going to investigate the seventeenmillion dollars that Congress has paid behind closed

(17:47):
doors for these sexual misconduct allegations,he asked, good question, hmmm.
Twitter report explained that we imagine manyrepresentatives suddenly got obsessed, was staring at
their shoes at the moment, andthen Massi City might file a complaint,
So the FEC would investigate congressionalize money. We wouldn't have bet against him doing

(18:11):
that well, which is why welove Congressman Massy Year on the fifty five
Carosecene Morning Show. Speaking for myselfalone, but I think many in the
listening audience as well. Five twentysix. Coming up a five twenty seven,
you can feel free to call otherwise. Diving into local stories, first

(20:00):
Yeah. Uh. Tucker Carlson didan interview with Thomas Massey here recently,
and I'm sorry I don't have thedate in front of me, but
absolutely eye opening, an amazing uhhis story alone, and uh, I
just thought there was so many interestinglittle tidbits about inside baseball with not just

(20:22):
the uh, the scandals and thingslike that, but just amazing stuff and
uh, well worth your listen.So I lost me some Thomas Massey.
Yeah, I'll tell you what,Joe, I appreciate you bringing saying that.
And one of the neat things aboutMassey is, you know, I'm
certain that all the representatives know aboutthe inside baseball. He's one of the
few that will actually bring up pointsabout it and bring it to people's attention.

(20:47):
Yeah, and then it's it's it'sit's just really and frankly, I'll
use the phrase, it pisses meoff that more politicians don't talk about the
realities of how government works and theinside baseball components because when yeah, your
mouth falls up when you hear aboutit. Yeah, they get there and
they eat the wedding cake or something. I don't know what the problem is,
Yeah, but they fall in loveand it just isn't good for what

(21:12):
we all want here, which isa republic that works. So I just

you've also told the listeners, andI'm sure they will too. I'm sure
it's worth I mean, Tucker Carlsondoes a great interview, and man,

for me last week. I've beinto the stack of stupid You can feel
free to call if you like,but it is that time of hour,
like to sort of lighten things upand be happy you're not in the stack
of stupid good Albuquerque, New Mexico, we'll call this instant karma. Surveillance

(25:29):
video showed a suspected arsonist accidentally settinghimself on fire after allegedly doing the same
to his ex girlfriend's property. Idiotsdoing idiots and Jody released. Incident took
place May thirteenth. It was justreleased by the Albuquerque Police Department Daniel Provine,
who owns the cameras. So thefootage showed the woman's property catching fire,

(25:49):
but then the suspect is seen runningaway with his clothes on fire.
You don't commit arson, but ifyou're gonna commit arson, maybe figure out
how to do it without catching yourselfon fire in the process, wrote someone
on Facebook. Foot you show theman running back to a vehicle and driving

(26:11):
away from the scene. Local newsoutlets reported three vehicles and the women's driveway
were destroyed. Some flames spread toher home where she was inside with her
children. Do what the hell?No report about the degree of burns?

(26:34):
Uh? Maybe got an award togive out. I haven't been through the
entire entire stack, but school CrossingGarden, Pennsylvania community arrested for supplying middle
school students with narcotics. Carroll Lee, twenty six taking it into custody last
week, accused of distributing electronic cigarettesand substances containing marijuana to students at the

(26:56):
Penwood Middle School. Please, speakingwith Local Fine Philadelphia, said the student
reported that Lee provided the students withvapes several times, frequently smoked weed with
another student. Students guardian also confirmedto local news that Lee had been giving
her child vapes and marijuana edibles.Text messages between Lee and the student revealed

(27:17):
their experiences after eating the edibles quotescool scars. According to the Delaware County
District Attorney Jack Stolsmeyer Stolsteimer, Sorry, Jack, school crossing guards epitomized the
role of public servant. They allquite literally entrusted with the lives of our
children and hold a position of sacredtrust in communities across the Commonwealth and the
country. For an individual to usethat trust deeply disturbing and corrosive to the

(27:41):
well being of the entire community.Stating the obvious, yes, a courting
jail records. Lee's be in chargewith two counts of corruption of miners and
two counts of possession of marijuana.Quite an interesting mug shot. PERI is

(28:02):
the biggest douche of the universe,in all the galaxies. There's no bigger
douche than you. And another battleof instant karma got a Chinese guy.
A man in China died after livestreaming himself eating seneme centipedes. To his

(28:22):
fifteen hundred followers, there's no flagfor us that is true in this case,
Joe, you're right, guy referredto his son, a vlogger on
Chinese live streaming platform that you've neverheard of, taken to spinning the wheel
marked with various bugs, foods,and drinks, and then consuming whatever the

(28:44):
wheel lands on on live camera.The wheel included geckos, meal worms,
vinegar, eggs, centipedes, beer, and distilled liquor, geckos and insects.
He would reportedly eat alive thirty fiveyear old from the hefi Anhui province
close enough Lease in my World,found by police Saturday, unconscious, sewing

(29:07):
no vital signs, his computers stilllive streaming. He explayed there dead two
nights Priory reportedly streamed himself eating venomouscentipedes. His equipment, including the wheel
and edible items using the video,were found in the room with him.
Videos has since been removed from thestreaming site. It's doing idiot things because

(29:27):
this kidding unknown which type of centipedesEO. Most species will not kill you
or cause you any significant harm.Not that that's a green light to do
something stupid like this, says.Bites from the golden head centipede, found
across East Asia and Australia, cancause excruciating pain. They can take down

(29:49):
mice of the fifteen size of theirown size in just thirty seconds. Their
venom disrupts the cardiovascular, respiratory,muscular, nervous systems all at the same
time, according to a stublished studypublished in the Proceedings of National Academy of
Sciences last year. Just another illustrationof social media, just drawing the biggest

(30:11):
idiots in the world doing the dumbestthings to what end what possible end,
well death in this particular case,Go ahead, smile, have some shot
in freud ovie over it. Idiotsdoing idiot things because they're idiots quite often
results in, yes, the deathof that aforementioned idiot five point forty six.
If you've got Keshney talkstation, youget some odor exit probably get rid

(30:33):
of the smell of the centipedes.It works on all kinds of odors.
I mean any odor you encounter dayto day kind of thing, human odors,
pet odors, smoke, mold,mildew, can go on and on
and on, which is why Ialways recommend going to the website odor exit

this tor's closure He said he orderedtwo pork burritos at this cadoa on Brady

second one, though, had therazor blade in. He said, I
reached it in my mouth and pulledout this razor blade, and I couldn't
blieve my eyes. Dear what oh? And you know, in addition to

(32:45):
that, you think about your mouthgetting sliced up? And where was that
razor and to what end was itused prior to an ending up in the
burrito wha? He called the MilwaukeeHealth Department and said it took the razor
he found back to the compared itto a bag cutting tool used in the
restaurant, and it was a match. Seward said he also emailed the corporate

are you ready two free meals?Hey? Don't knock yourself out Kudoba.
When their licensing renewal came up,Milwaukee Common Council decided to close its doors
for ten days. Employees mess upsometimes, okay, he says Stuarts.

(33:29):
Seward said, that's the world welive in. It happened to me I'll
never be able to eat at anotherkudoba again. Yes, I share that
settlement, and I didn't even needthis story to make that decision on my
own. Go to Chicago Northwest Sideman charged last October with shooting a sixty

(33:50):
nine year old man detained by ajudge this past Friday after prosecutors accused him
of shooting the same guy again.Why are you doing that on a sixty
four year old John Castana's charged withattempted first degree murder, aggravated battery and
discharging a firearm and aggravated battery inconnects with the latest shooting. About three

shot in the stomach and arm.A cord of the records, which listed

officers detained Castanis who made an excitedutterance, which is a legal term in
the criminal code, to the effectit was me, I did it,

(34:36):
and I shot him. It's alsoconsidered a statement against interest. If I
recall my law school criminal law Cobsreleased Castanis, who was licensed to carry
a firearm, pending further investigation.Prosecutor's charging with aggravated battery discharging a firearm
by a week later. They droppedthe case on December eighth for reasons not
explained. Then on Friday, prosecutor'scharge and was shooting the same guy again

(34:59):
almost eleven o'clock in the morning.The victim, now seven, he got
into an argument with this guy.Chicago police said Castana's pulled out a gun
during the altercation began firing, strikingthe victim in the right arm. This
time, victim drove himself to anearby immediate carry unit transferred to advocate Illinois
Masonic Medical neighbors called nine one one. Costanzas flagged down a passing squad cart,

(35:22):
and that's when he was arrested.Judge David Kelly detained Costanzas in the
state at the state's request. Now, it says the shooting victim has a
colorful history. In the nineteen eighties, he was convicted in a major federal
case involving an arson and extortion ring. One instance allegedly had the owner of
an autobody shop in the neighborhood knownas Boy's Town. That's the gay neighborhood

(35:44):
in Chicago. That's what they callit. Wrestling on false charges. While
the owner was in police custody,he assumed control of the body shop as
part of the scheme. When theowner returned the business after being released from
custody, the man met with himwith a met with a firearm, threatening
to shoot him and kill his familyif he ever returned. Bodyship owner lost
his business, and an arsonist laterset his car on fire. Sounds to

seven four nine fifty five hundred,eight hundred eighty two to three talk found
fact fifty on AT and T phonesand belated Happy Father's Day to all the
dads out there. Just I justgot the most wonderful gift from my daughter
I'd been wanting. I just brieflyhere because it meant the world to me.
I never hint at what I want. I use it, don't ask
for anything but my shave brush,which she gave me years fifteen plus years

(38:39):
ago. I have a bristle shavebrush. I use it every single day.
Actually is her and her brother,and I think of them every single
day when I get a shave.Every time I pick it up, I
think about this gift that they gaveme. It just really meant the world
to me. That thing was.I mean, it was worn out,
the bristles all worn out. Ineeded another one, so I kept saying
I would love to get another shavebrush, because it makes me think of

(39:01):
you kids every time I shave inthe morning. It's a nice reminder that,
you know, I'm a dad andI've got wonderful children. So guess
what I got for Father's Day?My daughter gave it to me was more
more important than that brush. Shegave me a card and the most beautiful
words she wrote. I literally cried. I am mad enough to admit that

(39:25):
it was such an emotional thing readingthe words that she spoke. I say
it out loud only because you know, you're a dad out there. Sometimes
you think you're not doing a goodjob. Sometimes you think you could be
a better person. And I'm oneof those kind of people. You know,
I could be better. Everybody canimprove on some level, you know.
And here they are grown adults,you know, moving on with their
lives, and you think that Ido a good enough job. Was that

(39:46):
good father? That I do whateverything I could in my pot? And
oh what my daughter wrote just justthe most beautiful thing I think I've ever
read. So I'm happy to yourfather. I'm blessed to be a father,
and it just meant the world tome. So I bring that up
so little things in life that canreally just frankly make your year five three

(40:10):
seven, nine fifty two three talkfor I dive into all of the heady
just were falling apart of the seamskind of stuff I got in front of
me. Let's see what Bill's gotthis morning before we move on. Bill,
thanks for calling this morning. HappyMonday to you. Beautiful thoughts on
Father's Day. I hate David walkaway from that subject. That's beautiful,
Brian. So I want to commenton investing in gold. People think that's

(40:35):
an escape, that you can stayaway from the government's manipulation of money.
But there's a problem there. There'stwo ways they can confiscate your gold,
and it almost happened under FDR.They can either pass a law or declare
a national emergency, which liberals havealready created. Really, and they can

(40:55):
confiscate your gold and never not notreally give you any money for it.
Well, I would really under currentSupreme Court and makeup, and given that
there has been an amazing amount ofcase law development since the FDR years,
I'd be really hard pressed to seehow they could get away from that legally
speaking. Now, what bothers meis in a national crisis situation. As

(41:22):
I stare at the headlines, HouseIntelligence Share says US at highest level of
potential terrorist threat. The idea thatthey would declare martial law, and we
all know what happens under martial law. You get the habeas corpus rights suspended,
which means they can just brag youin and lock you up. We
see what they did with the JapaneseAmerican population putting in an internment camp because

(41:43):
well they're Japanese, talking about anactive racism, irredeemable. So yeah,
crazy things happen in crazy times,and quite often, you know, some
people are under the impression that theywill create crazy times in order to do
what otherwise would be unlawful things.Hint hint, hint hint to all my
friends out there who are as wenow call them, conspiracy observers. My

(42:07):
whole thing about gold is and peopletalk about being gold bugs, and it's
good. It's against inflation. Youknow, it's worth something all the time.
Yeah. Maybe, but if thefiat currency collapses and we end up
in one of these crazy situations wherewe're all running around trying to figure out
where our next meal's gonna come from, Yeah, can't eat it. And
you know, I would much ratherhave like fill in the blank number of

(42:29):
items before gold would even enter inthe equation. And if I have those
items like food, maybe weapons,ammunition, even a bottle of vodka,
Uh, I don't want gold,and your gold ain't gonna do anything for
me to get separate myself with somethingI will need and can use right then?
And how you got what are yougoing to slice off a little piece
of it and weigh it up.I just the logistics and all of the

(42:52):
challenges associated with sort of quote unquotetrading in gold just mystify me. And
it's all always expressed in terms ofwhat right the fiat currency, which is
the real problem on our hands becausethat's where the printing press runs and that's
why our currency gets watered down.So appreciate the observation. Here we go

(43:15):
going back to the headline I justmentioned there. US House Intelligence Committee Chairman
Mike Turner from Ohio said, justyesterday the United States currently at its highest
level for the possibility of terrorist attackoccurring yes on American soil. On CBS
News asked about reports of recent arrestswith individuals with ties to ISIS. They've

(43:37):
got them here here in the UnitedStates, He says, you know,
what's important about these reports is thatwe're seeing, especially in conjunction with the
FBI Director Christopher Ray's public statements,that we are at the highest level of
a possible terrorist threat, that theadministration's policies have absolutely directly related to threats
to America. He says, thethreats are no longer speculative, no longer

(44:01):
hypothetical. His words not mine thatgiven the public comments made by the FBI
director of multiple congressional committee meetings overthe past six months, we have actual
administrative officials, he said, steppingforward, and certainly our committee and our
committee members have concerned on the intelligencewe are seeing that as a result of

(44:22):
the administration's policies allowing people to crossthe border unvetted, we have terrorists that
are actively working with the inside theUnited States that are a threat to Americans.
Hmm. This on a recent reports, at least eight tagic stand nationals
with allegedized ISIS were arrested in severalmajor cities, including New York and la

(44:50):
June fourteenth, US Departments of Stateand Turkey announced they be imposing sanctions on
three individuals with ties to ISIS thatare involved with a network involved in ready
facilitating travel into the United States.Ah, so we have ISIS facilitation,
probably coupled with the coyotes or whateverthey call them in Mexico, basically the

(45:15):
drug cartels, who probably don't carea whit what political affiliation or what you
plan on doing getting in the UnitedStates. They're going to get their slice
of the action, just ferrying youthrough the South into our country over the
very poorous, remaining poorest southern border. In spite of what Joe Biden's executive

(45:35):
Order tried to do and failed miserablyat, Senator Lindsay Graham sent a letter
to a majority leader Chucky Schumer andSenator or Senate leader a minority leader McConnell
about requesting a classified briefing for allsenators about ISIS threats. Graham wrote on
x, posting it publicly, Ihave never been more worried than I am

(45:58):
right now about an attack on ourhomeland. Says he's been signing the alarm
for more than two years. TheUnited States currently at risk of a nine
to eleven like terrorist attack. Goingback to my concerns over yeah, a
martial law declaration, perhaps in advanceof a presidential election of significant consequence here

(46:20):
in the United States. As JoeBiden fumbles around to find his words,
FBI director said several weeks ago,he said, looking back over my career
law enforcement, I'd be hard pressedto think of a time when so many
different threats to our public safety andnational security were so elevated all at once.
But that is the case as Isit here today. He of course,

(46:42):
was pushing for additional funding for federallaw enforcement at a time when you
and I have lost a lot ofconfidence in our lettered agencies because of the
weaponization of them against various organizations andindividuals for political reasons. It's hard to
get more funding when the public trusthas fallen off. But in a time
like this, we have all ofthis craziness as a consequence of the southern

(47:04):
border. Probably a bad time tocut funding, provided that the funding isn't
re routed to DEI and green crap, which I've got a lot of stories
about as well. Ray said,We've seen a rogues gallery of foreign terrorist
organizations call for attacks against Americans andour allies, adding that it was increasingly

(47:27):
concerning for him was the potential fora coordinate attack here in the homeland,
akin to an isis Ka attack thatwe all saw at that Russian concert hall
in March. Wonderful. Oh andthat's just the tip of the iceberg.

We have a problem at the southernborder. The world is aware of it.
Got more than one hundred and fiftyplus countries sending people across our border,
putting a little more flesh on thebones. I mentioned the Tazikhstan nationals

(49:35):
responsible for the March twenty second attackin the concert hall in Moscow. Apparently
eight of them arrested in New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles in recent days.
Wonderful news that individuals of the UnitedStates being tracked by the FBI's Joint
Terrorism Task Force taken it to custodyby Immigrations and Customs Enforcement on immigration violation

(49:57):
charges. Yeah, I wondered theBiden administration or whatere these sing xuury cities.
We'll let them free suspects. Theseguys, these eight crossed the US
southern border illegally in twenty twenty three. Released after being vetted. Federal Grumman's
screening process apparently didn't turn up anyinformation that would have identified these folks as

(50:20):
a terrorist with ties to ISIS.Representative Pat Fallon out of Texas. He's
on the National Security, the Borderand Foreign Affairs subcommittees said that a wiretap
information revealed that one of the Tazikstansuspects was discussing bombs in an interview with
Epoch Times. His quote, that'sscary. The vetting is a joke.

(50:44):
Close quote. And remember these folkshad been vetted. They actually had an
encounter with one of our border patrolagents. They were talked to. I
guess they had biometrics, taken,their fingerprints, probably taken whatever the hell
that is they do before they releasedthem into the interior of the United States.
What about the millions of god wayswho had no comparable interaction incident highlighting

(51:07):
an increase in foreign nationals. Yes, oh, I'm sorry, I said
earlier, one hundred and fifty companyour countries. No, let's make that
correct, one hundred and eighty differentcountries, many of whom are state sponsors
of terrorism, members, former citizens, former residents of those countries crossing our
southern border. And fun fact,one of the fastest growing groups of illegal

(51:32):
immigrants coming from China. And no, that's not racist to say that it's
the Communist Party communists. It hasto be Chinese governed by the communist Chinese
Communist Party, that's the problem.And it is not racist to criticize a
form of government that is the antithesisof what we believe in, which is

(51:54):
freedom and liberty, at least weused to believe in it. They're a
threat to us. They are anyinternational challenge last time we all checked,
and they're building their military up inunbelievably I mean, like exponential proportions.
Their spending is crazy. Plus they'reexpanding their nuclear arsenal. New report came
out about the Chinese building a lotmore nuclear weapons trying to catch up with

(52:19):
US in Russia. I guess,in a world where the threat of using
nuclear weapons looked down upon by literallyeveryone, why are we still building nuclear
weapons? Hmmm? Maybe someone's expectingWorld War three. I don't know.
Anyway, back to China and theChinese nationals crossing our southern board in the
first seven months of the fiscal year. Remember the fiscal year is October of

(52:43):
twenty three, that's when it started. Since then, border agents have apprehended
forty eight thousand, five hundred Chineseillegal immigrants last year, last year's fiscal
year record, the record then fiftytwo thousand, seven hundred, you know,

(53:08):
more than one hundred thousand of themin two years. At the same
time, apparently, Chinese nationals andothers from adversarial nations have increasingly been caught
attempting to access America's military bases.Those breaches apparently spark Representative Follon subcommittee that

(53:29):
held a classified hearing back in Mayentitled Intruder Alert assessing the Chinese Communist parties
ongoing infiltration of US military installations.They've apparently documented dozens of incidents of Chinese
nationals taking pictures near military installations andcritical infrastructure reservoirs, et cetera, claiming
to be tourists, even when thefacilities are in rural and isolated areas.

(53:53):
Fallon noted that Navy Admiral Darryl Coudellsaid in a recent interview an incidents of
foig nationals from China and Russia tryingto breach navy bases occur quote two or
three times a week. He said, there are some folks in positions of

(54:13):
authority and power that want to sticktheir heads in the sand and say,
oh, there's nothing here wrong.Flen says he didn't think the record breaking
number to Chinese nationals enter in theUS is an accident, calling it a
sky high number when you consider underthe Trump administration it was under one thousand.

(54:35):
Specifically fiscal year twenty twenty. Again, that'd be October of nineteen to
October of twenty twenty, or maybeit is October of twenty twenty through twenty
one, I don't know. Bottomline is it was only five hundred and
fifty four Chinese illegal immigrants nationwide.That's government data, and that's five hundred
and fifty five hundred and fifty fourtoo many. Now hundreds of thousands apparently

arrest a Loveland woman who pinned hermom against the wall with a car and
then injured officers as she fled thescene. Miami Township Chief Police Mike Mills
that officer was called about nine amfor a domestic situation on deer Haven Core

between an adult and a daughter anda mother. Adult daughter and mother.
Officers got there attempted to smash thevehicle windows to free the mother, a
woman named Joyce Mallett, who's sixtyfour. Chief explained that twenty three year
old Anna Millette reversed the vehicle andstruck two officers, then let officers on
a police chase, which ended whenthe driver crashed on I two seventy five

(57:37):
near Lovelan. Chief Mill says officerswere able to shock Anna with a taser
and then arrest her. It soundslike she deserved it. Joyce Mollett sadly
died as a result of her injuries. Officers who were hit sustained minor injuries,
thankfully only minor. Miami Township PoliceDeparmer released the short bodycam video showing

(57:58):
the danger the officers were involved inattempting to arrest this insane woman, and
the video described as disturbing. Neighborsspeaking with Fox nineteen said, isn't the
first time she's hit someone with acar. They see she hit her boyfriend
of the car a few years ago. Chief Mills said Anamulette being treated at
University of Cincinnai Hospital for injuries fromthe autocrash that occurred when fleeing officers said

(58:20):
upon a release, she'll be incustody in the Claremont County Jail facing charges
of murder and felonious assault on policeofficers. Just thank you, Joe Strecker.
Appreciate you stating the obvious. It'simportant and sadly we got one person
in critical ndition critical condition. Afterfive people were shot on Saturday evening during
event at Madisonville Park, police responded. Since the police responded to Bramble Park

(58:45):
six thirty pm for the shooting,since they please said five people injured in
the shooting, thirty year old anda thirty nine year old and a twenty
eight year old, a forty sixyear old and twenty four year old all
shot. Police said one of thepeople's shot means a critical condition, the
other four non life threatening injuries,which is fortunate. Two witnesses so the

(59:05):
shootings said Madisonville Day event was happeningat the park at the time. The
event had bounce houses, obviously forchildren of DJ at basketball competition and other
events, two witnesses speaking with localADITYCPO Channel nine, and a fight broke
out and then gunshots rang out.I'm not sure if the gunfire came as
a consequence of the fighting. Theysaid they heard roughly twenty to thirty gun

(59:28):
shots. Witnesses said there were hundredsof people at the event, including of
course children, who then scattered afterthe gunfire. Since they placed Parman in
chief trease that dij said in apress conference on Sunday that everyone in the
Cincinnation should be appalled by what happenedthere, of course, so what we
need to do is figure out away to have these events for the kids
and the residents of every one ofour fifty two neighborhoods and let them be

(59:51):
confident that they can't come into theseevents and they'll be and that they can
rather come in the events and they'llbe safe from the time they show up
to the time they leave. Justpointed out the obvious. There's no textbook

nationals come under the southern border.You can make book that they're Chinese Communist

(01:02:05):
Party officials. Lord knows what they'regoing to do, and you know,
go ahead and do a percentage.I think it was one report I think
I saw on zero heads. Look, if you take all of them more
than one hundred thousand over the pasttwo years, even if it's only one
percent that are here from nefarious purposes, that's a lot. Couple that with
all of the other ISIS affiliated organizations, you've got a separate threat. There

(01:02:25):
are they working together? God knows. I know that the North Koreans really
don't do anything without the Chinese approvalbecause they rely on the Chinese for their
very existence. It's reported that theyrecently sent the North Koreans. The starving
North Koreans right, who can't evenkeep lights on Apparently send containers to Russia,

(01:02:46):
which could hold as many as fourpoint eight million artillery shells. This
according to report from the South KoreanDefense Minister, Shin Woon Sick. Speaking
with Bloomberg, Soul noted that atleast ten thousand containers being shipped from North
Korea to Russia, speculation. USfor its part, we've sent only three

(01:03:09):
hundred thousand artillery shells to Ukraine,most of them in stockpiles that we've maintained
since the eighties. But it's beennoted that as a consequence of all this
weaponry shipped to Ukraine, we can'tmeet our own production obligations for our own
defense. We can't refill the stocksthat we are unloading to give to Ukraine.

(01:03:30):
Make your own point about whether it'sworthy exercise. Giving Ukraine all these
explosives, all these munitions and longrange weapons, plus the American technology and
boots on the ground to help themoperate them, bringing explosive to World War
III, we are depleting our resources. I noted that the that they they've

(01:03:52):
increased military spending the House bill,and actually the Senate Committee last week added
twenty five billion dollars toward defence budget. Outline, it's up to nine and
twenty three billion dollars for defense infiscal twenty twenty five. Most notably,
they plan on building a couple morenuclear submarines hat check to my friend submarine

(01:04:13):
or aka cribbage Mike. But buildingthem is the problem. Yeah, we
can't keep up with our necessary production. Throw all the money in the world.
If there aren't workers standing around tryingto put ships together, what good
is it? Anyway, over theon that defense bill, and the Republicans

(01:04:34):
did get some wins and for theirside, whether you know they were adopted
by the sentence version they did includebecause Speaker Mike Johnson allowed amendments to the
National Defense Authorization Act. So whatthey did was cut out some crap that
shouldn't even be in a defense bill, provisions regarding access to abortion, medical

(01:05:00):
treatment for transgender troops, and climatechange, which you know, climate change
is so important when the military ischarged with killing people and breaking things,
in other words, defending us fromall threats, both foreign and domestic.
What does that have to do withclimate change? What is the most effective
way to defend ourselves from threats bothforeign and domestic? Does it have anything

(01:05:23):
to do with whether you're using asolar panel to power a ship or not.
Anyway, actually worked out for Johnsongot enough Republicans to win a final
vote, and if he hadn't allowedfor these amendments, a lot of the
Conservatives would have said no to it, although it was considered to be more
bi parties in other words, andDemocrats liked it because it had spending for

(01:05:45):
all the social welfare garbage out theredei et cetera, et cetera, et
cetera. Lawmakers approved an amendment toblock the Pentagon's policy to reimburse troops who
travel to seek abortion or other reproductivehealth, block funding over gender affirming care
for transgenders, got an amendment togut the Pentagon Diversity Equity Inclusion program.

(01:06:08):
And yes, climate change efforts,And that's just what really irks me about
the whole thing that the Defense billactually incorporates climate change. Has anybody calculated
the amount of carbon that's being releasedinto the atmosphere as a result of our
shipping all of those munitions to Ukrainewhere they are actually being used and exploded

(01:06:30):
into the environment. You ever anyactivists talk about that. I'm just saying
out loud just food for thought.Anyway, twenty five additional billion. And
you know this is you know you'relistening to someone who you know recognizes the
military industrial complex for what it is. I believe in a strong defense,

(01:06:53):
but I also know there's a lotof waste, a whole lot of waste
in that what now will be presumablynine hundred plus billion dollars. If they
could just ferret out fraud, wastedabuse, and they stuck with a core
mission, we'd be a lot betteroff. I feel a lot better about

You know, I use it maybeonce a week, maybe twice.
It's the last one I'm ever gonnabuy. That's what they told me when
I bought it. I was happyto spend the extra few hundred bucks to
get that commercial grade when it isbuilt so much better than anything you're ever
going to find it a box store. And that's the point. Don't go

Happy Monday Bottom My next hour,Christopher Smith them in with a Smith
event. The meantime, I'm goingto go over to the phone so you
can call two five one, three, seven four and fifty five hundred eight
hundred two three talk. Hey,Jim, thanks for calling this Monday,
and a very happy one to youhere. I sure appreciate the show,
and I just love to listen toBrian Thomas because he talks my language.

(01:09:10):
Thanks Jim. That is like thehighest compliment I can ttay to be called
a man of common sense when weall know it's not common anymore. Yeah.
Now, they would probably want toif they hear this comment, they
probably want to give me sensitivity training. But I'm just a white boy from
Illinois and I was raised on thefarm, and there we learned a lot

(01:09:33):
of common sense. Yes, sir, you don't have time to screw around
when you're on a farm. It'swork, period. Yeah. And then
the thing I want to get tois, you know, forever on the
news, we hear, you know, the thing about these gang shootings and
whatever else goes on, and there'llbe a wonderfully good get together, you

(01:09:58):
know, with sensible people. Well, and here somebody comes along and you
know, I don't know. Arethey doing it for sport, you know,
just shooting people? You know,what's going on? Well, you
know, honestly, it just Idon't know how old you are, you're
probably closer to my age. Maybe, don't know. But if you look
back over the course of the pasttwenty plus years, we've had not only

(01:10:20):
the the the creation of, adventof and proliferation of social media, which
I think reduces people's civility to likezero. So we have no civility,
no no ethics, morals. Whenit comes to relationships with people, it's
just this immediate you know, whatever'sgood for me, me, me,

(01:10:42):
me, me. That goes alongwith that. Everybody gets an a,
everybody deserves a trophy, everybody isequal in all ways, shapes or form.
When it's a bunch of nonsense.But then also this whole idea that
you know, parents just don't seemto care anymore. I mean, you
know, I don't know how you'reraised. My folks were not strict disciplinary,
but they were about discipline. Youknow, you mind your p's and

(01:11:02):
q's, You pay attention to whatmom and dad say. If they say
you home by midnight, damn ityou're home by midnight, or you call
with an excuse and explain where youare and why it is you need to
be out later with the hope likeI used to have that they give you
an extra hour, you know,but accountability, no one seems to care.
And then when the kid does getin trouble with the law, the

(01:11:25):
parents are quite often screaming to lawenforcement for you know, arresting their kid.
Oh, my kid had never doany of that. You know,
if I was arrested for something andthey had me dead to rights, my
mom and Debbie the first people tosay, go ahead, prosecute them full
extent of the law. Deserves it. You know, there's not enough out
there. There's no accountability anymore.And of course with the there's plenty of
guns out in the world. Somepeople just don't take care of where they

(01:11:46):
store them, but it's easy toget a hold of them. We find
out about criminal gangs hiding guns outin the public and they're like a lending
library. We've done reports on that. There's organizations out there that are trying
to get those off the street.You can report them without being held,
you know, just tell the policewhere they are. That'd be one less
gun on the street. But howthese young people just find it just acceptable,

(01:12:10):
that is any way, shape orform appropriate to immediately pull a gun
out and just starting unloading for theleast of arguments. What is this don't
disrespect me? Nonsense. If youdisrespect me, I'm gonna pull a gun
out. I mean, the world'sjust come on, hench. Maybe maybe
it's because people aren't religious anymore.I don't know, a lot of people

(01:12:33):
will point to that immediately. Youlook at the number of people who attend
church or have any sort of religiousaffiliation, a connection with a higher power
where they actually feel as though maybenot in this world, with our liberal
criminal justice system, there is noaccountability. They will be let out on
the street. Maybe that's an exacerbatingfactor that a different deterrence effect has been
virtually eradicated with the woke attitudes towardsthe criminal justice system. They know they're

(01:12:59):
not going to be held accountable inthis life. What about the next life?
Maybe if you believe in one andthen you might be held accountable,
you might be less likely to killsomebody. Just a thought. Appreciate the

free and fair election is when youhave an informed electric fifty five KR the
talk station. This report is sevenand six fifty five care see the talk

(01:13:45):
station. Brian Thomas is happy tobe back from work, but admittedly wishing
I was still out west. Thebeautiful, beautiful, beautiful country. Got
to experience for the very first timethe Yellowstone Park, and we stayed in
a home in Victor, Idaho,which thank you the Guggenheim family out there,
philanthropic folks they are. They owna house out there, and they
regularly donated to charity. For example, we were the high bidder and ended

(01:14:10):
up in this house because they donateda week's rental to my dear dear couple
friend of mine, Charlie and Tarrapies, who lost their daughter to sudden infant
death syndrome about almost thirty years ago. And so we were high bitter on
that we're able to enjoy that beautifulhouse in Victor, Idaho, in spite
of the fact that the Titan Passgot washed out the day before we got

(01:14:32):
there and it's supposed to be shutdown for the next several months. That's
the shortcut to get from Idaho overto Jackson, Wyoming, which is real
close to Yellowstone. So it tookan extra hour and a half to make
that trip to go around the mountains. But it was beautiful, absolutely,
absolutely beautiful. And I say thatbecause sometimes you know, y'all worry about

(01:14:53):
your tax payer dollars being wasted.I have to give props to the Yellowstone
Park well maintained in spite of thefact that it's just absolutely packed with people.
The roads are beautiful, it's pristine, it's gorgeous and well worth the
trip. If you ever have anopportunity to get out that way, I

(01:15:13):
just I can't recommend it enough.I just would also recommend that you might
take some stock in your cardiovascular abilities. Guess who found out how out of
shape he is out west, Yeah, that will be me. So I
have to start taking some stock inmyself because you're at a higher elevation,
and then you got to go onall the trails out there. There's so

(01:15:34):
many gorgeous trails and so much tosee, but you end up climbing an
extra thousand feet or more in elevationas you go on these and uh,
yeah, it feels like you're goingto have a grabb er. I was
wondering where the local deft, whetherthere's like defibrillators around or no, they're
not. Have a loving family withyou drag you down off the mountain anyway.

(01:15:56):
God bless my family for the wonderfulweek. I can't thank him enough.
And a happy Father's Day at allthe dads out there. Just a
wonderful thing to have a loving family. And props to all the dads out
there who actually care about their familyand do their best to raise children responsibly.
Going back to some of the priorconversations we've had on the morning show,
and also you know, I've beentalking a lot about the border last

(01:16:17):
whole hour of the Chinese Communist Party. Folks, we've got more than one
hundred thousand of the last two fiscalyears, I think almost sixty thousand since
October. Why how is it arethey up to no good? Don't know?
One of more than one hundred andeighty countries we've got coming over the
southern border. Given the Biden administration'spolicies and all the warnings from the FBI

(01:16:40):
director to all the people on theintelligence committees, weren't about this next terrorist
attack. It's eminent they're worried.We've got members of different terrorist organizations,
including ISIS. They have actually caughtand found real problems, which makes me
allows me to pivot over to thiswall. You know, another illustration of
how you are working and the federalgarment is taking your tax dollars to undermine

(01:17:04):
you and your stability. Going backto the southern border, obviously a real
eye opener for a lot of Democratsthat many people Blacks, Hispanics and other
ethnic groups traditionally lockstep voting for Democratsare in fact leaning Republican a little bit
more sizable percentages in some groups,in large part because of the poorest southern

(01:17:26):
border and all our concerns about it. These are chickens that have come home
to roost in some of the bluestcities around. We've read about it,
You've all read about it. We'vetalked about it for months and months,
if not years here in the Morningshow. Resources being you know, local
people deserve the resources. Their taxdollars are being poured into illegal immigrants,
housing, food, shelter, schools, and it's getting worse and worse every

(01:17:49):
day. And the situation hasn't changedsince Biden's executive order, which really did
nothing, but from the Journal WallStreet Journal. You know me. Look
who the EPA is funding. Now, the EPA again using your labor in

(01:18:10):
the form of tax payer dollars againstyou, funding non governmental organizations undermining the
fabric of the United States. Thisis a cottage industry. If you're a
non governmental organization man, you're standingthere with your handout waiting to get a
check. The Inflation Reduction Act theywrite the political gift that keeps on giving,

(01:18:30):
especially if you're a lobby for progressivecauses. The Journal recently told you
the Environmental Protection Agency handed the IRAmoney to an outfit backing anti Israel protests.
Turns out EPA is also funding groupsthat oppose immigration enforcement. That's the

(01:18:50):
latest discovery by West Virginia Senator ShelleyMoore Capitali's office, which is probing the
IRA Spending Inflation Reduction Act. Thelaw appropriated Are you ready three billion with
a B? Three thousand million dollarsfor environmental and Climate justice block grants.

(01:19:13):
That should be a red flag foreverybody right there, considering the name EPA
is supposed to select grant makers andpartner organizations to spread this money around.
So what did the APA do?It tapped Fordham University as a grant maker.
So we don't even have our owngovernment officials issuing these grants to any

(01:19:35):
one of these non governmental organizations.They said, here, Fordham University,
you do it, you select whodoes it. They gave them fifty million
dollars to distribute in collaboration with theready New York Immigration Coalition. That's an
organization and why I see and fiftymillion dollar part of which went to New

(01:20:00):
Jersey Alliance for Immigration Justice. Question, what does immigration have to do with
climate nothing? The progressive say,the issues intersect in the oppression of minority
groups. Specifically, according to theETA, Fordam and its partners will take

(01:20:23):
quote and listen to these words.Will take quote an intersectional approach to place
frontline communities in positions of power closequote to advance climate justice quote in disadvantaged
and hard to reach communities and communitiesdisproportionately impacted by climate change, pollution,

(01:20:46):
and other environmental stressors close quote.Even the journal says, what does that
even mean? Perhaps abolishing immigrations andcustoms enforcement, which is what and why
I see advocates Apparently they condemned ICEin their words, as racist and abusive

(01:21:11):
close quote. The group this monthrallied with Democrats and all in New York
for a bill to prohibit local lawenforcement from working with ICE. Again,
this is money that you worked for, that they took from you to fund
an organization that wants an open borderwhen we've got hundreds of thousands and literally
millions of people, including a coupleof million Goudaways, invading our country,

(01:21:33):
and many of whom believe up tono good. Ask FBI Director Ray about
that. One After President Biden's election, New Jersey Alliance for Immigration Justice called
for ending quote all ICE transfers aswell as all forms of incarceration in New
York and New Jersey. Does thatcount migrant criminals, including Venezuelan gang members

(01:21:59):
who pray on the innocent? ThisNew Jersey Alliance for Immigration just As boasts
that its New Jersey policy victories includestate cash assistance for undocumented immigrants and a
ban on local government contract renewals withICE. Great, they point out,
mister Biden talks tough on border security. Well he does lately. Anyway,

(01:22:21):
his EPA is funding groups that areseeking to undermine immigration enforcement. Try to
reconcile that with anything remotely close tologic and reason. The Environmental Protection Agency
working to get rid of cooperation withimmigrations and customs enforcement. It's not surprising

(01:22:51):
that the Inflation Reduction Act money isbeing misspent. We can't help wondering whether
the administration is trying to fund therest resistance to a future Trump administration.
You know what, And I thinkthat that's that's too the minimalist of a
point. It's beyond Trump. It'sthe fabric of our society that is being

(01:23:15):
eroded. And no, that's notracism. It's a question of national security.
It's a question of our values.And also it's also a question of
our economy, which, you know, if you're trying to buy a house
these days, yeah, a littledifficult. Try to find an apartment for
rent, yeah a little difficult.Yeah, try to living in a blue

(01:23:38):
city where they've given all of theluxury hotels over to immigrant immigrants illegal I
might underscore along with food and clothingand housing and your local school district resources
being soaked because well you've got toaccommodate all these new folks coming in thanks
to in part funding by the EPA. Wow, yeah it's that bad.

five KRC DE Talk station. Haveyou Monday, Christophers Smith? Maman coming
up next bottom of the arrow withthe Smith event. Uh real quick here
and you know people are gonna getall up in arms about the Supreme Court
decision, you know, saying thatthe bumpstock man was unlawful. Was also
a recent District court judge opinion onshort barreled rifles with the stabilizing brace a
pistol brace turned in lawful weapon intosomething that turned you into a felon violation

(01:26:03):
of the short barreled rifle laws thatare on the books and have been so
for decades and decades. But thepoint is these are about the overreach of
the administrative state. Say what youwant about bump stocks. I think they're
stupid. Wouldn't only one think they'redumb? I know how expensive ammunition is,
and it's really expensive to shoot oneanyway, But it basically effectively turns

(01:26:23):
a semi automatics will squeeze the triggeronce every time to fire a bullet,
which are totally lawful, into onethat will acts like a fully automatic weapon
because this bump stock ratchets the weaponback and forth, which don't have to
move your finger, the whole weaponmoves, which forces your finger to interact
with the trigger each time firing abullet. In other words, operating a

(01:26:45):
semi automatic weapon like it is,and the bump stocks had been deemed by
the ATF as lawful. There wasa number of opinions on them. They're
okay, they're fine, they're okay, and then all of a sudden,
boom, they come out with alaw that says, oh no, no,
they're ill. It turns them intoa machine gun, rendering all of
these people that own a bumpstock felonsfor owning them. Just as Thomas said,

(01:27:06):
the ATF, on more than tenseparate occasions, acknowledged that bumpstocks did
not qualify as machine guns. Intwenty eighteen, the agency estimated there could
be up to five hundred and twentyof these stupid things out in circulation.
And I know that other group organizationsout there say there may be more.
It doesn't matter if there's two ortwo million. It's what they did.

(01:27:30):
Now. This was during the Trumpetadministration when the ATF moved to say,
letting Congress off the hook, whichis the point that they magically became machine
guns after all these rulings said theywere not because of the definition of machine
gun. Congress passed a law pullthe trigger, fire one bullet, have

(01:27:55):
to fire it again. That issemi automatic, and that the fact that
you add something to it in mostcases, like this bumstock, that makes
it work better, doesn't transform itinto something that is definitionally speaking, a
machine gun. They're just basically sayingthe Supreme Court in this decision, Congress,
do your damn job. You cango ahead and ban these. You

(01:28:16):
can change the definition under the law, and I'm sure by to be happy
to sign it. Saying that abumpstock is a machine gun probably won't happen,
but it's their job to do it. The Elito, in his concurrent
opinion, there's a simple remedy forthe disparate treatment of bump stocks and machine

(01:28:38):
guns. Congress can amand the law, and perhaps so would have done so
already if ATF had stuck with itsearlier interpretation. Now the situation is clear,
Congress can act. Do your damnjob. Same thing with the pistol
brace. This District Court judge said, no, you're not a felon because
you have a stabilizing brace, whichagain the ATF ruled a gazillion time prior

(01:29:00):
to magically transforming it into well ashort barrel rifle under definition, making you
a felon for owning one. Youcan't do it. Judge granted the Planet's
motion for summary judgment and order therule completely vacated out. They'll appeal this,
but this is just it's a Theseare illustrations of administrative overreach, and
we can move away from firearms inthe ATF into the EPA or any other

(01:29:24):
organization. We've had some great opinionsfrom the Supreme Court telling them that Congress
needs to change the law. Somejoker in the back room who's not an
elected official does not have the legalauthority to write laws. Amen, write
your congressman, tell them you wantpump stocks band. Fine, you can

(01:29:45):
do that, but it's going torequire an active Congress to do it,
not some again, unelected official inthe back room. Harm Thhing fifty five

a wonderful lady and the reason youwant to talk to her. Mortgages.
Yes, you can still buy homesout there. I know they're a little

(01:30:08):
bit more expensive, and I knowthe interest rates are still high, but
there she is to help you outlike she did for my daughter or boyfriend
Eric, and that was a greatexperience for them, and it was a
very quick process for them to getthe mortgage and the financing they needed to
get their home. And I'm soproud of them and I'm so happy that
Susette helped them out. I toldthem they was going to work out,
and they were so happy that Idid recommend them because they were heaving the

(01:30:30):
bank process was a pain in thebutt as far as I'm concerned for them,
at least, that was my observation. Susette is wonderful customer service.
More than thirty five years in themortgage industry. She can help anyone in
any state. She's with Cross CountryMortgage, so whether you want to get
some equity out of your home,you can do that. I have quality
and concerns about reverse mortgages, butif that is okay in your world,

(01:30:51):
she can handle those as well.Of course, need a preapproval letter for
your first time buyer, she canmanage that, so call her with COMF

I know you're a big family man, and I hope you're able to spend
the day with some of your familyor all of them. I did,
and Happy Father's Day to you.We share our desire to be very good
fathers. And it's a hard job. It is parent it's not an easy

(01:32:47):
job. And you know, asmy mother and father would say, it
doesn't stop because your child turns eighteen. You know, we think and worry
and support our kids. You know, even now into their twenties. We
love them unconditionally and we try tohelp them navigate through their life. So
Happy Father's Day. I admire youas a father, and I know a

(01:33:11):
lot of other listeners who are hearingme admire you as a father. Well,
you know, I have many faultsand I'm always if, I always
reflect back. And I even mentionedthis ear on the show. I got
this, I got a gift frommy daughter, but it came along with
this beautiful card. And as I'malways thinking, could I have been a
better father? Could I have donethings differently for the better, And the

(01:33:32):
answer is always yes, because youknow, I tend to, you know,
focus on the negative. But withthe words she wrote, I swear
to you man, I literally cried. It was such a beautiful, beautiful
card, and it sort of negatedthose negative feelings about you know, my
reflections on my on my you know, being a father, and she's she

(01:33:53):
apparently thinks the world of me,and golly that that just I mean,
bringing a tear to my eye rightnow thinking about it. My sun feels
the same way. So it's itwas. It was just a great,
great weekend for me, and especiallycoming off vacation. So God bless all
the fathers out there. At leastif you try, you gotta try,
you gotta try. You know,this will pivot for just a few seconds

(01:34:15):
into my concern. You know ofthese dead beat dads out here who,
for example, won't pay their basicchild support. They're not involved in their
children's life. And what I wantto say right now is I want to
pivot into judges and prosecutors out hereacross these these these states who are letting

(01:34:36):
these dead beat dads off because they'reconcerned about a little jail time really doesn't
help them because you know, ittakes them away from their job. News
flash, if they're not paying thechild support, I'm not worried about what
job they're doing going to if theyare getting paid under the table. Brian

(01:34:57):
Thommins, Oh yeah, and notsupporting the family, right. I want
those companies and those men held accountablebecause here's the reality. If the father
isn't paying those those child that childsupport, you and I are paying it
through our tactics. We're doing thatjob to make sure that that those children
have basic services, whether it's healthcareor whether we're subsidizing their housing. So

(01:35:23):
I'm tired of all of these lookeducated men, because this is not about
just people. Poor people are workingcraft educated men walking around here, driving
big cars, living in big houses, and they aren't taking responsibility for their
own damn children, and then runningaround running that card that you got they

(01:35:46):
want to pronounce that they're a greatfather, and they really aren't. You
just dead beat dads. And I'msick of them, and I'm sick of
our court systems slow rolling these large, unpaid amounts of money that a lot
of these families need. It isincredibly frustrating, and we've got to do
a better job in our systems.Judges who are listening, prosecutors who are

(01:36:11):
listening across the country. It fallsinto your court. And my spleen being
says, do your job and holdpeople accountable. Don't just walk around and
say Happy Father's Day. Make thesehold these fathers accountable for their crap.
You know what. And you hita nerve with me because I spent several
years working in the domestic relations courtback in the days when Judge Paneto is

(01:36:33):
in charge, and I sat inchild support hearings and I heard the complaints
of these deadbeat fathers who be hauledin and quite often got sent to jail
for a couple of weeks for failureto pay because they refuse to go out
and get jobs, they refuse totake any effort to support their children.
And you know what, Christopher,when in most cases it came down to

(01:36:54):
it's because they hated their ex wives. So just because you had a bad
relationship and it didn't work out,and you hate your ex wife for some
ridiculous reason, you're gonna take itout on your kids. You know expensive
it is to raise children. Childsupport is the best deal on the planet.
You write a check on a monthlybasis. You don't have to be
there to pick the kids up fromschool, taking them a select soccer.

(01:37:15):
You're at home. You know,maybe you get to see them every couple
of weeks the under the arrangement you'vegot for visitation. But you know,
mom's got at home, working herbutt off, trying to support the children,
having to deal with Kroger bills,taking them all every place they need
to go. And where are you? What are you doing? I mean,
just crazy, my butt and mylast point about what you just said.

(01:37:39):
And then you have the dad outthere who's turning the children against the
moment. Now that's a two waystreet. Mobs are out there right like,
oh, I know it is,I know it is. We got
women out there who are doing thesame thing, who were horrible. But
I'm focusing today because I did thaton Mother's Day, I'm focusing today on
the dad and say, dad,handle your business, do not involve your

(01:38:02):
children and trying to turn them againstthe mom. The only all you do
is destroy your own kids at theend of the day. So hats off
to all the fathers out there.I want to say the great fathers,
because the super majority of our men, ones that I interact with, are
wonderful. They're involved in their men'slife. But as we talk about,

(01:38:23):
Brian, look the shooting that happenedjust in our community right in Madisonville,
where you have five people shot,three hundred people there and nobody saw anything.
We're going to solve the crime inour communities, we have to cooperate
with the police department. You can'tsay you want to defund the police and

(01:38:45):
then have a mass shooting and withthree hundred people and say you don't see
anything. I didn't see a damnthing. Yes you did, and then
they turn around and wonder. It'snot until you turn and your child shop.
Now your baby is hurt, andyou want the whole community to come
to your aid and you want themto cooperate. Now, I'm saying to

(01:39:08):
you, Brian, if we're goingto curb the violence that's happening in our
community across the United States of America. We have to have citizens willing to
cooperate. You cannot have three fourhundred people sitting around their shooting goes off
and everybody says they didn't see adamn thing. That never will work and
our community is not safer today.But based on what happened in our community

(01:39:32):
and your others who are listening intheir community, their communities aren't going to
be safer until we have citizens thatare willing to stand up to the bullies,
the murderers, the shooters that arein our community. Drop a dime
for God's sake. Hold on,we'll bring Christopher back for more of the
event seven thirty eight. Right now, if you have ker CD talk station,
opportunity for me to mention something that'sreally a great product. I mentioned

(01:39:55):
this for so many years. USAInstallations Premium Film Listen. Hotter than hell

at a God bless my father,an happy heavenly Father's Day to my dad.

(01:41:26):
He did the Monday morning Spleen eventwhich we now have Christopher covering during
the smither vent vent in Spleen.What else is on your mind today,
Christopher? Listen, brother, thisnational story of an illegal U alien who
came into our country last year fromAl Salvador and killed Rachel Morin and a

(01:41:50):
mother of five, a mother offive. She was beaten to death,
raped and murdered, and they foundher body in a drain. Now listen,
this kind of craziness is happening allaround our country, and I want

(01:42:11):
people to listen to what I'm tryingto tell you right now. This doesn't
have to happen to your family foryou to have the empathy and a deep
appreciation for what that family is goingthrough right now. The arrest is just
the first step. Because this happenedin twenty twenty three. This family is
trying to bring closure. And thisman, mother husband on Father's Day,

(01:42:34):
his father's Day, their mother's Day, their worlds have been turned upside down.
Now I'll have to tell you,right, I lost my wife to
breast cancer. As you know,I can't imagine losing my wife to murder.
And then I couldn't imagine losing herto murder for something that didn't have

(01:42:56):
to happen, meaning the public policythat we have with these open borders,
and we don't know who's coming inour country. We know that a lot
of them are really bad people whoare marching across and it only takes a
handful of them to come to ourcountry and take the life of one of
our American citizens. That's what happened. He beat her, she was out

(01:43:17):
on a walk. He raped her, and he murdered her. And this
needs to be in all of ourfaces as we think about the upcoming election.
Public policy matters, leadership matters,and this father and this family and
the mother, the mother of RachelMorin, she deserves answers and she deserves

(01:43:39):
justice. And I just didn't wantto go in my splee event without mentioning
her and extending my condolences to theirfamily, even though I know they'll never
hear it, and to their family, but it mattered to me. Well.
And you know, I understand thatthere's a lot of violent people out
there, and there are a lotof violent American citizens. That's bad enough,

(01:44:02):
we have to deal with it.But you're right in these situations where
we have undocumented immigrants being allowed intoour country. Hell, I read a
story earlier this morning about these Isisfolks that they picked up and these other
terrorist organization members. They went throughthe vetting process, damn it, and
yet they're still in our country andliving in our American cities. This is

(01:44:24):
preventable. I mean, there isa solution to this problem, and no
one seems to care, at leastunder the current administration. And it's really
frightening, especially when that case youjust mentioned is only one of how many
that you can remember off the topof your head your head, and I'm
sharing with you, Brian, ifyou went to Germany and did this,

(01:44:46):
if you went to Africa and didthis, you pick your place in your
mind that you go right that youthink you go to go over to Putin's
community and try this and see whathappens to you. We're the only country
in the world that allows these openborders and allows us to not screen people

(01:45:10):
coming into our country. And letme tell you it's not anti immigration,
because let me tell you, Iwant immigrants. Immigrants are wonderful for our
country. And many of them don'tthink that what's happening is right because they
came here legally. They're jumping.These people are jumping the line and coming
across the border. But my heartjust goes out when I hear things like

(01:45:33):
woman out American just handling her business, working out and somebody murders her.
Whether it's an American or not,but this is somebody who shouldn't have been
in our country. My last pointG seven this week, anybody who hasn't
seen it, Our president was there, President Biden was there. This meeting
happens annually, and the rest ofthe world knows what we know. There's

(01:45:58):
something cognitive going on with our currentpresident. And anybody who saw that,
you can't say the video that youdidn't see. Many people didn't see it.
Brian Thomas of him just wundering offinto the grassy area. Boom.
They and the leaders had to goand hurt him back into the group.
It's a really sad, sad situationfor us, and it makes us weaker

(01:46:24):
on the world stage. Him goingthere and meeting with them, and them
now knowing that he is cognitively impaired, makes us weaker on the world stage.
Well, it certainly sounds like itpresents an opportunity for oh, I
don't know, say a China forexample, to go ahead and launch an
initiative to take over Taiwan, knowingthat we have this feeble minded man as

(01:46:47):
president and parenthetically commander in chief ofthe United States military. And I'd love
to know who's actually calling the shotsfor the president because I think we can
all rest assured that he is notmaking the decisions for his administration. He's
absolutely not doing it. And theworld leaders now are hiding the fact based

(01:47:10):
on what they actually saw that whatthey heard, meaning meaning they're listening to
people talk about it, but it'sdifferent being in the room with them right
and interacting with him. And I'msaying the videos that I saw coming from
the G seven meeting were just reallyreally troubling, and I just I don't
understand people who were saying there's nothinggoing on with him cognitively. There's something

(01:47:33):
happening with President Biden. It doesn'tmatter to me whether you're a Democrat,
you're a Republican, you're an independentlike I am, whether you're a libertarian.
Can't we just agree on the factpattern that there's something cognitively going on
and it's going to come out somewherein history is one of the greatest cover
ups. Right, We're gonna haveto change and demand that. Where is

(01:47:56):
his position to come to and sharewith us? Is our president healthy?
What medications is he using? Andthe last thing I'll say is when he
did that interview regarding his secret documentsin his home, can't we listen to
those those tapes? Yes? Whyis the Attorney General blocking us from information
that's ours? Listen public those audiotapes that were taken of the president during

(01:48:21):
his interview regarding the secret documents thatthey found in his home. Those are
our documents and it's our information,right, And so the Attorney General walking
in there saying I'm not going torelease them, it just tells you that
there really is a deep state,and the Congress and the Senate are acting
like they have no power to resolveit. It's really a same well and

(01:48:43):
I'm glad you brought that up becauseI was going to if you hadn't you
mentioned this is this cover up,you know, this idea that you know
when he's got Alzheimer's or he's gotcognitive impairment, whatever. We can all
see it with our own eyes.But the point of that her report,
he pointed out. In the reportincluded that Biden had violated the law,
but that nobody would find him guiltyin a court of law because of his

(01:49:09):
cognitive state. I mean, it'snot a cover up that her report said,
we're not going to we're not goingto pre charges of them because of
be a waste of time. Peoplewould feel so sorry for him that they
wouldn't convict him. I mean,doesn't that speak volumes to what you're talking
about. It does, and wedeserve to hear the audio tastes and anybody
out there listening who feels differently.You're just wrong that we have the right

(01:49:33):
as a country to know what's goingon in the White House in the executive
session. The person who has theirfinger on the nuclear codes for our world.
We get to know whether they arecognitively sound has nothing to do with
who he's running again, has nothingto do with whether they pull him out

(01:49:53):
and run somebody else, meaning whichthey could. They could, certainly do.
We have the right to get theinformation, and I'm shot that the
Congress and the Senate and all thepower that they have, they cannot get
the Attorney General to turn over theevidence so that we as the people can
listen to those interviews and come toour own conclusion. Yeah, and what

(01:50:14):
is wrong with our country? Indeed, And the predicate for that is it
will interfere with their investigation. There'sno investigation, it's over. How could
releasing the audio interfere with their investigation? This is just all nonsense. You

be back work. Enjoyed my vacationand happy Father's Day late to all those
fathers out there. Brian James SmallFinancial joins us every week week at this
time to discuss money matters and whatwe call money Monday. Brian, Welcome
back man. I hope you hada wonderful Father's Day. I did.
Welcome back to you. You hada vacation and a Father's Day, both

(01:52:10):
of us. I've been given propsto the Federal Park Service the Yellowstone.
If you ever been there to YellowstonNational Park, have not, that's not
definitely on the bucket you've got.Yes, it should be on the bucket
list. I've never seen anything like. The whole region out there is epic.
But you know, in spite ofthe fact that it was really really
crowded, I understand that it isall the time. The beauty and the
maintenance of the park and the roads, it's it's just so worth the trip

(01:52:34):
for anybody out there who has anyinterest whatsoever and nature and scenery and as
Ron Wilson likes to call it,forest bathing. We did quite a lot
of that. So it was anice you know, week ahead of the
Father's Day weekend, I had awonderful Father's Day weekend. So good here
that you had one as well.Back to money matters, and I appreciate
you coming on every week to talkabout this. The unloved stock market rally

(01:52:58):
headline. Why so many investors findit hard to embrace the run to records?
That's what we keep hearing from theBiden administration. Look the economy's great.
Look at the markets. Look atthe markets. You're you know,
quit paying attention to your grocery buildthe markets are doing great. Not everybody,
sadly is invested in the markets,which you and I know is a
pretty gosh darn good idea if you'rethinking about your future. Yeah, if
you want to build wealth over time, it's really just about though I shouldn't

(01:53:21):
say the only way, but it'sthe most easily accessible way to participate in
this capitalist society we call the UnitedStates of America. So, but you
have to take the risk to doit. And what's happening right now is
a lot of people are perceiving thatthat it's fake, right, that this
is not a real thing. Sothe S and P five hundred we're sitting
here right now is up about fourteenpercent for the year and has made all

(01:53:44):
time highs about thirty times this year, so me simply meaning by the end
of the day, was it higherthan it had ever been before? That
has happened thirty times now. Alot of people do recognize that as a
risk, but Brian, it's reallynot making all time highs is really not
that rare. Remember to think ofa chart of the stock market. It
goes up, not down, soit's usually at an all time high.

(01:54:04):
The reason this feels a little bitsuspect and it doesn't for me. This
is just reality. But the reasonnothing is new here, the reason people
perceive it is because currently the Sand P five hundred has about twenty percent
of its market value in three stocksthat's Microsoft and Apple. Many people pretty
well familiar with those. In Vidiais the new player. It's been around

(01:54:25):
for a long time as a technologyplayer. They make video cards and things
like that, which used to besimply for graphics processing, and that's where
it ended. But graphics processing hasan awful lot to do with a cryptocurrency
and some other things out there andartificial intelligence and all that. So in
Vidia is now the new darling ofthe technology industry, which itself is the
darling of the entire stock market.So real quick here on that one,

(01:54:47):
I have not looked into. I'veseen all of the reports of it in
Vidia going through the roof. Iwas curious to have that explanation because I
obviously they've diversified their portfolio and theirbusiness has expanded into new realms, and
I guess that artificial intelligence being oneof them. They are now an industry
leader in that I transforming their businessand moving along with the changes has allowed

(01:55:11):
them to be so successful. Isthat where that comes from? Yeah,
exactly. So obviously there's high leveltechnology and some of the biggest brains that
are working on this. But soI'm a bit of a computer tinkerer,
and I've built computers over the years, and I recognize in video going way
back to as you know, ifI needed a new video card to run
over to micro Center over in Sharonville, pick one up. Half the shelves
are full of video stuff. Didn'tthink a thing about it ten years ago.

(01:55:34):
But the way that technology works,which again is much bigger brains than
mine working on it, It usesgraphics processing to affect a lot of the
things that happened with artificial intelligence andcryptocurrency. So that's why in Video has
seemingly come out of nowhere. It'snot a new company. It's been around
for a very long time. They'rejust in the right place at the right
time to take advantage of this,all right. So that now going back

(01:55:57):
to the S and P being inat all time high point to three stocks
which are really driving that. Whatof the rest of the S and P
five hundred, I mean, thereare a lot of different diverse companies in
there, and they're all not doingthat well. Here, let's do a
little one oh one on what theS and P five hundred is, because
I think a lot of people don'tquite understand exactly how it works. Most

(01:56:17):
people go, yeah, it's thefive hundred largest companies, and you know,
people generally kind of have an ideaof that it's the five hundred largest
companies in the United States. However, the S and P five hundred index
that you see crawling across the bottomof your TV screen and blinking on your
phone is not as simple as youmight think. It is not those five
hundred stocks divided evenly across all fivehundred. It is market cap weighted that

(01:56:42):
means the bigger the company, thelarger of an effect it has on the
overall S and P five hundred.So that's where we're we're you know where
we're saying that twenty percent of itit consists of three stocks, Microsoft,
Apple, Nvidia, that calculation isup fourteen percent. However, Brian Thomas,
if you simply equal weight those fivehundred companies, right, this is

(01:57:03):
the way most people think it works. If I divided across all five hundred,
right, and is now only upthree point four percent. So those
three stocks have the S and Pfive hundred, the cap weighted version of
it, up almost four times asmuch as what reality would be if we
spread it across. So the pointof all of this talking is that the
market, while it's where we're atall time highs, it's coming from very

(01:57:26):
very very concentrated sectors. It's allfrom the technology industry, and within that
most of it's coming from three stocks. That's why people aren't exactly convinced that
this market it doesn't have a lotof breadth, so meaning there isn't a
whole lot of support across industry,so that it seem a little bit suspect.
Okay, and that seems to givesome justification for people having some concerns

(01:57:46):
about this booming S and P fivehundred. I remember, and I know
you remember, the tech bubble.I mean, is it not conceivable that
we could have some sort of techbubble that AI ain't what we thought it
was going to be, isn't embraced, or if something happens and if you
take those three stocks out of theequation, you're left with well a three
percent game, which is still agame. I guess I'm kind of curious

(01:58:09):
to know if that's possible. Butthe other component of my question to you
is what are the least performing,the worst performing elements of the S and
P. What sectors do those happento be in? Yeah, So to
take your question of the tech bubble, absolutely, could we be in a
situation where there's where things have gonetoo far too fast? Yeah, I
would absolutely agree with that, becausewe've had ample examples of that over time.

(01:58:32):
Microsoft was involved in the tech bubble. Apple was not quite Apple yet,
but they were in the mix there. So these aren't companies that I'm
truly worried are going to go,you know, completely go away. The
tech bubble consisted of a lot ofcompanies that don't exist anymore, right,
because that came when at the dawnof the Internet, when we first realized
simple things like hey, we cansell advertising on the Internet. I mean,

(01:58:53):
let's be honest, that's where thisall started in the late nineties.
And the companies that were involved thenyou probably would not recognize the names now
because they either failed entirely or orwere swallowed up by by something larger.
I'm not concerned about that for anyof these three companies. So, yeah,
any every every rally in every sectoris going to have to pull back

(01:59:14):
at some point, So I wouldfully expect that. But I don't see
a whole lot of irresponsible uh youknow, buying and investing in things that
don't don't make profits. That thatthat was a hallmark of that tech bubble
back then. I don't really seethat now. That's always there. There's
always an element of greed, exactlyright. But we're not talking about those,
are we that That's a great point. We're not talking about game Stop

(01:59:35):
and all that kind of silly stuff. These are actual, real, respectable
companies who have found a niche ina market. There's a catalyst right now.
The catalyst is cryptocurrency and UH andartificial intelligence to you know, to
a much greater scale. That's acatalyst where successful companies can take advantage of
that and grow something, make themselvesmore efficient, create things we've never had
before, versus simply running off ofhype, which is that's what the tech

(01:59:59):
bubble was, and that's what themean stocks were all right, now,
real quick here, what's underperforming?What's not doing well? What sectors are
the least profitable at this juncture?Do you know on top of your head,
you know, having nothing leaps tothe top, right, It's interesting.
So, like we just said,the overall market, if you,
if you evenly waight those five inour companies, overall markets up three and

(02:00:19):

It's still a positive return. Therest of the market is is just
kind of puttering along, not toyou know, not bad, not great,
because all eyes are on technology.So there's nothing I would really point
to as this is an absolutely awful, horrendous sector to be in, because
there are you know, despite whatwe're talking about, this this suspect thoughts

(02:00:40):
about the market, there are thereis good support for where we are economically
speaking? Are we do? Wehave some bumps coming up on the road.
Absolutely, and remember we're in anelection year. You're not going to
be allowed to wake up and feelconfident until so or not. This feels
like where we normally are at thisstage. To be honest, yeah,
no question about that. Pause.We'll bring back Brian James and find out

(02:01:01):
what is happening in Saudi Arabia endingthe Petro dollar deal. What does that
mean for you and me and ourinvestment portfolio? More with Brian James.
After I mentioned my cancer doctors,cancer sucks. We can all equally agree
on that. I think if there'sone thing that unifies America completely, as
we all agree, cancer sucks.If you get a diagnosis for cancer,
you're going to realize how much moreit sucks than just talking about it because

(02:01:25):
you know somebody who has cancer.Well, it happened to me and I
turned to OHC. Thanks to myfriend Jony who made the recommendation. I
got wonderful treatment. They surrounded melike they will you with the region's top
cancer doctors. You are there wherethey have the most innovative treatment options.
Clinical trials being offered all the time, which is where you want to be,
right there on the cutting edge ofcancer therapy. Their approach is a

(02:01:45):
simple one. Just surround you witheverything you need to focus on what matters
most, and that is kicking cancers. But so if you do get the
bad news, and I'm sorry ifit happens, I know you have good
doctors to turn to. I recommendstarting with OHC or getting a second opinion.

that money Monday thing with Brian James. All Right, this sounds rather alarming,
but I'm trying to look for alight at the end of the tunnel
on this, and we'll talk aboutthat potential light at the tail end of
our discussion on the end of theeighty year deal with the petro dollar US

(02:02:30):
Saudi petro dollar deals now over.They had to trade in US currency when
they sold oil. It's a consequenceof some well interesting geopolitical realities that happened
quite some time ago. Brian,what is this all about and what is
it going to mean? Right,So this is one of those headlines where
you go, wow, this soundsscary, but god, I have no
com concept of any of these typesof things, so I'm going to move

(02:02:53):
on with them. On about myday. So it reads like there was
some kind of dispute between the UnitedStates and Saudi Arabia and everybody you know,
took their ball and went home.That's not quite what happened. So
let's talk about petro dollars. Thisgoes way way back to stuff you studied
in grade school and probably were boredto tiers with. Remember the Breton Woods
agreement. Well, that started abunch of dominoes falling. That was in

(02:03:15):
the forties, and that started abunch of dominoes falling in terms of this
tip for tat back and forth,you know, trading body shots between the
United States and other sectors of theworld. So in nineteen seventy one as
well, that's when Nixon decided notto decided that the dollar was no longer
going to be pegged to gold,and that created a whole lot of exchange

(02:03:35):
rate volatility and just money moving around. Opek didn't like that. That's where
we got the oil embargo in theseventies, for those of you who remember
the lines at the gas pump outthere. In response to that oil embargo,
the United States and Saudi Arabia cameto agreement with the other OPEC countries
that oil was only to be tradedin dollars US dollars, hence the term

(02:03:58):
petro dollars. That was in Junenineteen seventy four, and it had an
expiration date which was last week.So as of June ninth, twenty twenty
four, that agreement is no longerin place. What that does is it
gives OPEC the ability to trade tosell oil in different currencies, and that's
going to have obviously a lot ofimpact on just how dollars move around and

(02:04:18):
how other currencies move around, whichis going to change the power structure a
little bit. So this, asalways, this is one of those things
where you go, Okay, this, I'm still as bored as I was
reading about Bretton Woods in the fifthgrade. Why do I care about this?
It should be anticipated that at somepoint this is going to surface,
and it's going to have impacts inways that we haven't seen before. But

(02:04:41):
that doesn't necessarily mean that we shouldbe panicking and you know, heading for
the hills. It's just something thatthe overall markets need to need to react
to. I am not concerned,and no, I don't think I ever
will be about the United States abilityto spend money. We are by far,
by far, by far the largesteconomic engine, and we are very
very quick. Our public traded companiesare very very quick to move to protect

(02:05:02):
themselves and more importantly, to moveto places that are more profitable. So,
however the dynamics shift, We've gotthe best team on the field in
terms of figuring out how to squeezeprofits out of it. Is it going
to be bumpy? Yeah, ofcourse, but what is it? So
let's just not not panic too muchover these crazy headlines. But you know,
moving away from the US dollar toother currencies which are gaining in respect.

(02:05:26):
I mean, say what you wantabout the Chinese Communist Party in China
and it's authoritarianism and all the horrorsthat go along with, you know,
living under that regime. They're buildinga much stronger economy and the yuan that
therefore becomes a much more reliable unitof trading currency. There's also alternative currencies
like ge digital currencies that becoming moreand more widely used because you know,

(02:05:49):
availed in secrecy to some degree allowsfor easy trading a currency. So this
suggests, as the article reports,a decline in global demand for the US
and the implications for that, asis pointed out, higher inflation, interest
rates, higher weaker bond market,and change in global financial dynamics. Now

(02:06:10):
that's not happening right now, asyou point out, We're still the biggest
player on the block. But thelight at the end of the tunnel,
or the sort of the positive Isee in something that direction is that might
force us to be a little bitmore fiscally responsible in this country, to
make our currency more valuable and morereliable. In other words, get rid
of the damn debt, quit spendingourselves into obliving and printing and printing the

(02:06:33):
printing press to the point where theUnited States currency is deflated in value.
Exactly a little earlier this morning,we were talking about the catalyst of the
artificial artificial intelligence industry on the overalltechnology sector. Well, you're right,
this could be the kind of catalyst. It'll be one of many things but
this could be a catalyst for,like you said, us to behave a
little more responsibly because we will nolonger have the option. The reason we've

(02:06:56):
let that debt run so far isbecause it hasn't hurt us yet. Right
now, it's a number in aspreadsheet. It has not caused pain yet.
But this country has existed for twohundred and twenty five, two hundred
and thirty five years, having madea mess of itself again and again and
again and cleaned up and moved on. So I would fully anticipate we'd be
able to do that again. It'snot going to be clean, it's not
going to be pretty. But Ijust simply don't see the United States being

(02:07:19):
kicked to the curb. There's waytoo much money here, and remember the
world runs on greed. The moneyis here. People want to do business
with the United States not because theylike us, but because we are where
the money is. And unless thatchanges, I'm not going to worry about
it. Well, and that's anice segue to our next conversation, which
will be about millionaires and they're gettingolder. Let's pause from and we'll bring

(02:07:40):

krs the talk station, Hey,thirty fifty five kr CD talk station,

(02:09:52):
Happy Monday, doing that money Monday. Think one more segment here with Brian
James Smallworth Financial Welcome to the Ageof Jerry Millionaires. The headline this sounded
to me like a veiled argument fora state tax, which Brian, I
don't know where you are on that. I find it offensive that merely because
you die, the government has itclaims the ability to just take whatever it

(02:10:13):
thinks it's untitled to from your estate. Listen, it's property. It belonged
to you. You can give itout in your will and testament to whoever
you damn well please. And itirks me when people want to take more
and more of it. But quiteoften it's in the name of this whole
idea that you know, generational wealth. You know, there are millionaires out
there that only are millionaires because theirparents made the money and gave it to
them. Okay, they won life'slottery perhaps, but anyhow, and it

(02:10:39):
doesn't shock me that the number ofAmerican millionaires over has risen to sixty one
because people been I mean the BabyBoom generation has been dutifully or many of
them any we've been dutifully saving andinvesting in the markets all that time.
You can become a millionaire over yourlifetime by doing that, Brian. Yeah,
millionaire is not the term that itused to be. Right thirty years

(02:11:00):
ago, we used to think ofthe guy on the Monopoly game board,
he was a millionaire. Well,now a millionaire just doesn't. I talked
to millionaires all the time, andthey don't feel like millionaires like the millionaires
of old. They're worried just likeanybody else, but their networth happens to
have two Commas in it. Now, for those of you out there who
might not be in that situation justyet, that seems like that might upset
you a little bit because because you'rejust not there and you're wondering how that's

(02:11:22):
even possible, and what do theydo that you haven't. Well, like
you just said, Brian, alot of that has to do with time.
If you simply keep it simple.But if you just use your four
to oh one K and you investand you don't panic when the market wobbles,
then you're gonna get there. It'snot crazy at all that you might
be at a millionaire in twenty twentyfive thirty years, because that's the way

(02:11:43):
it has worked. And remember,the last several decades have included some of
the worst years of stock markets everseen. We had two thousand and two
with the tech bubble bursting, wehad two thousand and eight, we had
twenty twenty two. Yet anyone whoinvested from two thousand until today consistently is
probably pretty close to being a millionaire. So stick it out and you too

(02:12:03):
can be in that category. Butwhat's I mean? What's the I mean?
Isn't this just an acknowledgment of whatyou said in my observation, which
is a huge baby boom population,which of course now they're retiring, and
that that means the average age ofmillionaires has risen too higher than it was
from I guess what, fifty sevenyears old in nineteen ninety two. I

(02:12:24):
don't understand how younger people were morelikely to be millionaires back then but then
now. But I just turned tothe idea of a you know, long
term investment with a large baby boompopulation is answering the question here, But
is there something more to it thanthat? Yeah, and that that line
kind of caught me too. Whywould the age have something to do with
And then it occurred to me,well, that's because people are living well

(02:12:45):
into their nineties and over a lotmore often now than nineteen ninety two.
So where the you know somebody whowho might have passed on and inheritor and
passed on their wealth in their eightiesor so thirty years ago and that was
the outlier. Now that person isliving almost to be one hundred, So
just by still being around their averagingthat that's one of the reasons that that

(02:13:05):
ages is running up. One ofmy favorite lines in this whole article was
it's no longer about sixty year oldspassing on wells to thirty year olds.
It's ninety year olds passing along sixtyyear olds. Now. I'm thankful for
that, because you know, Ihave some people, many people on my
wife's side, on my side ofthe family, who are in that range
and they're still around and we're prettydarn happy about that. That's not the
way it would have been fifty yearsago, though, people just didn't live

(02:13:28):
as long. That's a good pointand that also sort of illustrates the problem
with the social security system and theway it was set up when it was
originally built, in the way itis now, because people are living on
and off of Social Security for maybedecades or two decades longer than they used
to, and it wasn't anticipated thatthat was going to be the case,
right, And the other factor aboutthat is that the sociecurity system was set

(02:13:52):
up a long time ago and alot of things were written in stone and
were not set to float with reality. So, for example, for a
lot of people who a lot ofpeople are aware that if you don't file
for social Security, right if you'rein the window where you're at least sixty
two, you could file for socialSecurity. If you don't, you get
an eight percent raise simply by doingnothing. It's going to go up eight
percent by the time you're sixty three, and then another eight and another eight

(02:14:15):
and so on. Now, thateight percent, Brian, that was set
in the forties. It was basedoff of whatever was happening then, and
the decision was made that, yeah, eight percent's fine, we'll be able
to kind of to beat that outwell over the last thirty or forty years.
Inflation has not been anywhere near thatright last three years notwithstanding. But
prior to that we had decades ofreally low inflation, Yet that social Security

(02:14:37):
number kept going up by eight percent, and social Security became more and more
of the kind of the core orthe a big part of a retiree's income,
where it was supposed to just bea social security net. Well,
it's gotten so large that it makesup a lot more than a social security
net would truly would have to.And the end result of that is we
can't afford it to keep growing likethat. That's why we're where we are.

(02:14:58):
But it was set in stone inthe forties. Well there you have
it, Brian James, always apleasure talking with about these interesting topics.
I'll look forward to next Monday withanother edition of Money Monday. I appreciate

Go ahead, call the hospital askhim how much an MRI is going
to cost you, and ask himhow much a contrast is going to be
on top of that, probably tellyou something like five grand, could be
thirty five hundred dollars. It's goingto be a lot. Same thing with
a CT scan, an echo cardigram, and ultra sound, all of them
in the thousands of dollars, andyou'll probably in most cases build separately for
a radiologist report, without which yourdoctor can't interpret what the dang images mean,

(02:15:43):
so you have to have a radiologistreport. So I always say it's
your money, it's your out ofpocket liability. Maybe it's one hundred percent
of your responsibility, but the bottomline is the bottom line. That's why
you go to affordable imaging services,where an MRI is only with the Board
Certified ideologists report included in all ofthese four hundred and ninety five bucks.

Without a contrast, you get acontrast, it's six forty five, and
that happens to be the most expensiveimages Affordable Imaging Services MRI with a contrast,
get a CTC SAM with with acontrast six hundred bucks without four point

to the hospital imaging department. Youwill say, well, wait a minute,
why would I pay that much?I can get like for of these

It's pretty creepy stuff. If you'vebeen paying any attention to. It made
even creepier when I see this article, and no reason to go down this
road other than he reminded me mentioningand talking about artificial intelligence about this article
I'd printed out. And this issome sick people in the world out there,

(02:17:37):
and you know, coming off allof our conversations about Father's Day and
trying to be a good parent.And if you're a parent out there,
for mother, father, a parent, someone who's a guardian responsible for a
young person man, you owe itto them to get the hell off of
social media. And this idea thatit's a great thing for really really young
people to have their own Instagram pagesand get followers, and it's just the

(02:18:01):
world's filled with creepy people. Andwe got this. I found this article.
This Midwestern mom encouraged at one pointseveral years ago, her preteen daughter
to launch an Instagram account to becomean online influencer. And it's reporting now

(02:18:26):
that ninety two of this once preteengirls followers are old men, creepy grown
men, as the article describes them. The girl was described as an aspiring
dancers now in high school, stillcreepy that all of her followers are adult
men. Apparently wanted to do thisto connect with other young influencers. She

(02:18:48):
launt her page three years ago,and as a consequence of launching the page,
and this, I suppose is themotivating factor all these landed modeling gigs.
She's been given freebies. Major designbrands have signed her up. Regular
Dylan mulvaney apparently saved up about twentythousand dollars thanks to what they describe as

(02:19:11):
generous donations. Seeah, pet,was this like a a GoFundMe kind of
thing? You're the thirty five yearold guy getting your jolly's off of watching
some pre teen girl, and yes, send her money. What are you
hoping for in return? And Momand dad, what are you thinking these
people are saying to your daughter who'sonline on Instagram. When it comes down

(02:19:35):
to it, it's pointed out thatInstagram's algorithms have steered men with apparently deviated
sexual attraction to children to this girl'spage, quote, flooding it with unwanted
comments and commons. According to apparentlythis is a New York I believe it's

(02:19:56):
New York Post reporting from a WallStreet Journal article that I didn't even see
even though I read the journal everysingle day. Many of the men harvest
photos of young girls, trade themin dark web groups and channels on the
encrypted messaging app Telegram. So asan adult male user in one such group

(02:20:18):
commented that the girl's mother knew damnwell his words that her daughter's post would
attract quote pervy adult men close quotehe posted, we're all model scouts,
agents and brand owners were totally notpleasuring ourselves my words substituting for his words,

(02:20:39):
we're not pleasuring ourselves to the picks, right. I think that was
a tongue in cheap comment by thepervert who's watching this young girl's page,
and she's talking about nothing that wouldinterest a normal adult male. They describe
photos of young girls traded on thedark web and channels on the encrypted messaging

(02:21:00):
that telegram app that I told youabout, and then factor into the equation
the artificial intelligence component on this.Your children right now in your local high
schools are struggling with this. Yeah, you get a regular picture, just
a snapchat, you know, alittle snappy your friends in a group,
whatever. You take a picture,do a selfie at some you know,
famous site, and then they turnit into a nude image that looks awfully

(02:21:20):
real, and then your daughter's runningaround concerned because there's this fake nude image
out there that some people think isa real one, adding to these psychological
problems that our children are having alreadylike tenfold. But you know I had
this existed when my daughter was apreteen and she told me, or at

(02:21:43):
least I caught wind that she'd openan Instagram account and putting herself out into
the literally the entire world. Talkabout an immediate no, how about hell
no, how about let me havethat device? You no longer are keeping

(02:22:03):
it? Anything I could do.I'm glad my daughter is beyond this.
I'm glad she's, you know,an adult that seems to have done quite
well. You know, I hadher challenges like all children do, and
but was not a part of this. And what would cause you to want

(02:22:24):
your daughter or son for that matter, at that age to be exposed to
the world in this way? Whywould you allow it? Why would you
even encourage it? That there arepeople out there that would encourage it.
Now they can make money, nowthey can be popular, they can be
famous. Yeah, you know thatcomes with a substantial downside to perhaps you're

(02:22:46):
just not taken into account, whichis why I bring this up. Start
thinking a little bit more about thisbefore you run headlong into social media and
social media influencers. And there's abig question mark I have looming over my
head. How is it that somerandom person, pick one Dylan mulvaney,
can become so and I don't evenbelieve influential? Are they really that influential?

(02:23:13):
Do they really have that many followers? Considering the fake botnets that are
out there that create fake accounts andcome up with artificial intelligence generated comments to
make it really look like they're reallya social media influencer or really have some
measure of influence over your life,And then step back one more ask yourself,

(02:23:35):
why why does that person have anyinfluence over me? Am I not
capable of making my own mind upand drawing my own conclusions? Do I
really need someone's assistance along those lines? Eight forty seven fifty five krs.

(02:26:56):
I and just I have to bringthis up because Yeah, I realized how
out of shape I am being outwest in the Yellowstone area and the Tee
Toons and going on these trails.And actually, actually one hike we went
on was more than seven miles,which trust me, is seven miles more
than I've hiked in like, Ican't even remember when another one was five.

(02:27:18):
But you have to deal with theelevation. So you're already at a
disadvantage coming from this altitude to goout there, and when you factor in
when you're on a trail that yourelevation can increase between I don't know,
eight hundred and two thousand feet orwhatever, depending on which trail you're on,
it can take the wind out ofyou. It'll make you feel pretty
bad about yourself in terms of yourphysical fitness. And so, yeah,
