55KRC Monday Show - Smitherman, Money Monday

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Oh five.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Five KRC DE talk stations.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Say it was a vacation and I'm the dude man,
and I'm Brian Thomas Hosid the fifty five RC Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
If you're having a decent Monday so far, I hope
you had a wonderful weekend. I sure did, and I'm
looking forward to hearing how much Peton's lemonade stand took
in on Saturday. I don't know if you had an
opportunity to buy a glass lemonade for that charity was
a great little thing and keeping my fingers crossed they
had a banner year this year. Anyhow, What is going
on this morning? Christopher Smith Havan seven thirty with vice

(00:54):
former Vice Mayor of the City of Cincinnati for the
Smither event. As always don't know what he wants to
talk about, but I always enjoy it. On Fire of
late Christopher has So that's seven thirty. I remember when
you can't listen to Live podcast fifty five caresee dot com.
It is Monday. So we do Money Monday with Brian
James every Monday at eight oh five. Cost A Living crisis, hits, food,
cars and other goods. Yeah, hottest job market on generation

(01:18):
is over. Uh oh, and one million dollar starter home
is becoming the norm. So those are the inflationary realities
that we're all paying attention to and seeing in spite
of the fact economy is apparently humming along and everything's great.
If you listen to the Biden administration, it's all great.
We've never had better times. So uh contrasts that with
the reality we live on the street, and I know

(01:39):
the numbers are great. Like people keep posting on Facebook
memes about the stock market you better off now than
you were four years ago, and they show the stock
market's way up. It is do you have a million
dollars to buy a house? Kind of unrelated problems but
maybe related anyway. Always enjoy hearing from you with something

(02:00):
you want to talk about, like maybe the Paris Olympics
opening ceremony five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred,
eight hundred eighty two to three, talk down, fight fifty
on at and T phones. Lots of crazy things going
on to the peripherals, like, for example, meanwhile, while we
are distracted by the coup atta here in the United States,
throwing Biden out in a favorite Kamala Harris. Meanwhile, while
we're distracted by the left's efforts to convert Kamala Harris

(02:24):
and her far left, radical left a Jenna into something moderate. Yeah,
they seem to be just sort of rewriting history of
Kamala Harris, and I don't know how much success they're having.
I've seen some of the polling of data out there.
Trump's you know, had Kamala Harris as a race, Trump's advantage,
on and on and on. But you know, the policies
and arguments that the Trump's side has, I think can

(02:44):
withstand this, you know, I would say temporary erosion in
his numbers. This is a honeymoon period that Kamala Harris
is enjoying. I think largely driven by people's sigh of
relief that Joe Biden's no longer on the ticket at
least Democrat sigh of relief. Thank god, we've rid ourselves
of the doddering old fool in favor of Well, yeah,

(03:08):
is she electable? Well, it remains to be seen. But
you know, behind the scenes, other things are going on.
Oh look here on Friday, this is really got me
rather miffed. Remember Peter Strock and Lisa Page. Yeah, former
FBI officials who were instrumental in the efforts to get
rid of Donald Trump in any way, shape or form.

(03:30):
Their text messages back and forth predominantly anti Trump, talking
about the insurance policy, you know, trumping up the no
fun intended, the whole Russian collusion thing. Yeah, they were
supposed to be in the name of law and order,
that's what the FBI is all about. But no, it
turned it into pulit us up a political organization with
the sole purpose, seemingly to get rid of Donald Trump.
Guess what. Strack and Page reached a settlement with the

(03:55):
Justice Department with you, the American taxpayer, because it says
the government will be paying out a total of two
million dollars in their lawsuits over the Department's twenty eighteen
release of their text messages. Text messages that were sent
back and forth on government devices ergo no right to privacy.
Yet here we have our governments settling with Stock and

(04:18):
Page paying them two million dollars of your money to
get rid of their lawsuits. Peter Strock, it's going to
get one point two million dollars, Lisa Page, eight hundred
thousand dollars a court of the settlement agreements which were
obtained by various news outlets, including CNN. I'm reading CNN's
reporting on it. Finalize their settlements with the just departments

(04:42):
and court filings this past Friday, while we were all
busy watching other things going on, going over the assassination attempt,
wondering about the situation here in the United States with
the presidential election, worrying about World War three breaking out
between Israel and Hballa, among other things, and the paras
Olympic Games. Look, they paid off. Stroke and Page Page

(05:05):
said in a statement. While I have been vindicated by
this result, vindicated, my fervent hope remains at our Institutions
of justice will never again play politics with the lives
of their employees. Ah, but we'll play politics with the
wives of the presidents of the United States of America.
If they don't land on our side of the political ledger,
we'll do everything we can to disrupt their lives, suggest

(05:30):
that their activities are criminal, even though we have no
evidence of criminal activity. But don't mess with the lives
of the FBI employees, mind you. Of course, the Justice
Department declined comment.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Hmm.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Strock remember, was removed after an internal investigation. First revealed
his text with Lisa Page, with whom Strock was having
an extra marital relationship that most assuredly exhibited as political bias.
Paige was also on the Muller team, resigned from her

(06:12):
role as lawyer for the FBI after the messages were discovered.
Strack has other ongoing claims in the lawsuit against the
department for his termination during the Trump administration. His attorney
Aidon Goldman in a news release following the notice of
this settlement, it's this outcome is a critical step forward

(06:32):
in addressing the government's unfair and highly politicized treatment of Pete.
As important as it is for him, it also indicates
the privacy interest of all government employees. We will continue
to litigate Pete's constitutional claims to ensure that in the future,
public servants are protected from adverse employment actions motivated by

(06:55):
partisan politics. Huh, but what about your adverse partisan politics
on the job comments Strock and Page? What about your
advocacy for you know, left wing causes, anti Trump advocacy.
Why you're supposed to be doing your job at the
FBI doesn't matter. Now he's one of these folks are

(07:16):
going to land on their feet quite often it's because
you know, they ended up over it, like CNN as
a talking head their post political career, maybe as a lobbyist.
Quite often politicians and others in government will go on
and work for lobbying firms where they will make lucrative salaries. Right,
we know about the game. I guess in this particular case,
I don't know if Stock and Page weren't able to

(07:38):
get jobs as lawyers outside of government or what I know.
Strac wants to get his job back at the FBI
so that he can enjoy full retirement benefits on top
of the one point eight million dollars he's going to
earn one point two million dollars he's getting from the
American taxpayer thanks to the capitulation of the government and
the Justice Department by settling with him. Claims his privacy

(07:59):
was violated. HM, they have no privacy on government devices,
ladies and gentlemen, on those government devices while conducting government work,
which I would argue maybe this was in government work
where they were using government devices purporting to be working
on things related to government. Thus messages belong to you

(08:22):
and me. It's our information. We paid for the devices,
We paid their salaries we paid for the entire FBI
and Justice Department unbelievable. No one person observed. The worse
you behave, the more you get paid, as long as
it's in service of the correct side. So things continue

(08:49):
to go on out in the world while we are distracted.
We are appropriately distracted by the events I referenced earlier.
But you see what you can get away with when
we're all distracted by what means to be bigger things.
Justice Department didn't have to settle. They had a legitimate
defense on these alleged claims of privacy interference. It was

(09:11):
basically an employment case. Who are you working for? When
these documents were released? What was the subject matter of
the documents? Did they relate to an ongoing investigation? Yes,
the investigation of Donald Trump. They were directly connected to
it or related to it. In any event, we used
to ask for documents and discovery requests all documents referring

(09:32):
or relating to fill in the blank. In this particular case,
the subject matter of the Trump Russian collusion investigation, Mueller investigation,
et cetera. These were directly responsive an ergo, they were
appropriately released. Now just roll over and write a check

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Five fifty five KRC the talk station when you're awaiting.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
The Today is your nine first morning weather forecast. Today
we have spocky afternoon storms, very muggy. I have eighty
four showers and storms are likely. Overnight damageing winds are possible,
dropping to seventy degrees. I have ninety tomorrow with morning
storms and isolated chance after that partly cloudy. Is very
human Overnight Tuesday, more storms possible, more muggy conditions, seventy

(11:35):
one for the low. And on Wednesday, mostly sundayday with
chances of showers and storms. I have ninety three. I
imagine muggy as well. Gonna go out on a limb
on that one right now, seventy three degrees here fifty
five AIRCB talk station that is five point twenty on
a Monday by one three seven four nine fifty five

(11:59):
eight hundred two three with pound five fifty on AT
and T phones. I saw this Paradise, California wildfire. It's
going out. It's crazy, just absolutely huge fire. They're big
evacuations going on. Hundreds, if not thousands of buildings have
been destroyed, destroyed. My recollection of the events of some

(12:21):
guy who was in a car the front was a
tire fire, a fire underneath one of the tires in
the car, and he was seen getting in and out
of the car. He pushed the car over an embankment
down into a gully which started the fire. Been arrested.
So one of the biggest fires in California history. They

(12:44):
say thirty four hundred firefighters, numerous helicopters, air tankers, all
working on putting the fire out over the weekend, just
growing and expanding. Sixty six structures destroyed. They say, thousands
were in jeopardy and a lot of people had to
be evacuated. So idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots,
and as dry as the conditions are out in California,
and this is what you get. And here's another one

(13:05):
in terms of fires. Karmageddon is what they were calling it.
Another downside of the push to go to electric vehicles
is the batteries. You know, we've all heard of stories
about battery fires and how they're almost impossible to put out. Yeah,
well that's kind of what happens over happened over the weekend.

(13:28):
Carmageddon again is what someone we're referring to it. Overturned
trout carrying lithium ion batteries ignited on fire early As
early on Sunday, California Higher Patrol wrote that I fifteen
northbound at Harvey Road remains closed. Crews currently grating the
dirt around the trailer housing the hazardous material heavy duty
equipment on the scenes. Efforts to remove the trailer will

(13:50):
continue once deemed safe for the cruise. It's a runaway
battery fire that shut down and interfered with the commute
of thousands of Californians Las Vegas locally, one person or
one group on X The crisis situation is unfolding in
the California desert. Thousands of people headed to Las Vegas
have been stuck on I forty for many hours running

(14:10):
out of gas and water, all due to the lithium
battery truck fire that closed down I fifteen yesterday, drivers
described as furious. A different story of energy crisis. Also
calls by Alternative Energy one row the dangers of the
green transition and not being disclosed the American people by

(14:32):
radical leftists in the White House. There is limited transparency
and accountability, wrote Zero Edge, And then they line up
a whole bunch of articles about the problems associated with
battery fires, firefighting, the ev aarow whole new game exploding
e bikes. Lithium battery fires spread in New York and
in California. I saw an article on that last week. Also,

(14:53):
people wrecking those batteries operated bicycles, by the way, the
more people buy them, the more accidents there are, the
more people are injured. It's older people riding the bikes,
by the way that apparently have the most injuries on them. Anyway,
San Diego bound cargo ship hauling lithium batteries reports fire.
I remember that one five hundred eighties among these three
thousand cars on burning ship off Dutch coast, one after another.

(15:16):
Remember thousands and thousands of gallons of water need to
be pumped on one single electric vehicle. I'd say that's
one of the larger sides or larger downsides of owning
one of those things. You got the charging issues, the
range issues, people's just general concern about the reliability of them.
Then if you park one in your garage, wouldn't you
have that looming concern in the back of your mind
all the time? Do you get your service upgrade, you

(15:40):
get your high speed charger, it's in your garage. The
whole house is coming down with that thing catches on fire.
So you draw your own conclusions. This to me is
not a winning strategy. Also, you know, then there's that
whole background thing about the economy of building them. Ford
Motor Company losing just billions of dollars on man manufacturing

(16:00):
electric vehicles, every single one of them sold at a loss.
What's right with this picture? And then you can just
keep going back further and further and further about you know,
the environmental damage done by these things, the fact that
Chinese dominate the industry. It's all good for the Chinese. Ah,

(16:21):
just don't understand the stupidity and it's all in the
name of this will guid this Green religion, as I
always refer to it as, and I'm not a believer
in the religion. Do I believe the climate change is
absolutely well, I believe the climate is changing now. Yes,
I do believe the climate has been changing my entire
life and will continue to change without any impact by us,
you and me. That if we disappeared from the face

(16:44):
of the earth, and that no more gasoline or coal
or oil was burned, and that we all were wiped
off the face of the planet, the climate would continue
to change like it has well since the dawn of
the Earth. Five k C Detalk station. Well, you don't
own an EV you own an imported car. Foreign exchange

(17:05):
the place to take it. Save money, Yeah, nothing to
lose at foreign exchanges. That money. If you go to
the dealer, you're gonna pay more, and that's all there is.
Bottom line is the bottom line. At foreign exchange, you
get wonderful mechanics. They treat you like family, they're they're
very nice people. You can actually talk to the mechanic,
which is an important element for me. When I'm getting
my car fixed, I want to talk to the person
who worked on it, and you can't do that at
a dealer at least it's the challenge you get through

(17:26):
the service manager. But a foreign exchange you can. They
have data access to all the technical information from the manufacturers,
whether your car is from a traditional Asian or European manufacturer,
whether it's exotic or a run of the mill, everyday
kind of car. They specialize in taking care of you
for less money. So save the money. Go to the
Westchester location to for exchange where Austin his team will

(17:46):
treat you great. You'll leave with a full warranty on
both parts and service. That's the towers and the legs.

Speaker 5 (18:03):
Fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio Station, the exclusive audio home
on NBC's coverage of the twenty twenty four Paris Olympics.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Fifty five KRSV Talk station five one three seven fifty
five hundred eight hundred eighty two to three Talk five
fifty on AT and T phones. Thank you, Maureen, Jeez.
Louise was talking about those electric battery fires, and she
sends me a video of some guy who walked on
an elevator and they got elevator can inside. He's holding

(18:34):
a U lithium battery in his hand. The thing just
blows up in the elevator. Guy looked charred when they
pull him out of the elevator. I asked her if
the guy died, because he looked dead when the outside
video of the incident showed the other side of the
door when the fire started. But wow, that's scary. I

(18:56):
mean with without any notice. He just walks in casually
standing and boom.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Anyway, if I've went three seven four nine fifty five
eight eight two three talk, I got a couple of families
in Liberty Township trying to figure out who spray painted
swastikas and lude drawings, as well as profanities on their
homes and cars. Jeez. A woman whose home was hit
by the vandals didn't want to be identified to Fox nineteen,
who interviewed her. They're violating her own home, which is
a safe place and doesn't necessarilysarily feel the same after

(19:23):
something like this happens. Yeah, you feel violated, There's no
question about it, says she woke up to a text
from her neighbor Thursday morning at their home hadn't targeted,
no idea. Came outside expecting to see toile of paper,
our house, egg and there was graffiti on all over
my son's car with profanity. Garage door had swastika on it.
So it's not what you would expect. Called it shocking.

(19:45):
A woman says every part of her son's car, from
the paint to the headlights and the windows were hit
and she fears that well the car may have been totaled.
Vandals even put egg yolk in the gas tank. Said
it had to be towed. Belieze her son was the
target and Morey's for his safety. Said a person would
do something like this obviously not a good person in
the first place. So it does kind of make me
worry that if someone took it further and he was

(20:07):
harmed in some way. One of only one of one
home on a few streets was also vandalized few streets away.
They are working with the Butler County Sheriff's office to
try to figure out who may have done it. Sarff's
office so far hadn't found any fingerprints, and she can't
find any neighbors with ring doorbell camera footage of the vandals,
but she hopes there will be justice. It's also hoping

(20:27):
that that person who did it apologizes. I would not
hold my breath for that one. But if you have
any information about who did this, the incidents themselves, they're
asking that you'd please contact a Butler County Sheriff's office. Thanks.

Speaker 6 (20:40):
Joe is the biggest douche of the universe, in all
the galaxies.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
There's no bigger douche than you. Rally Sunday supporters Performer
President Donald Trump held a big rally big Ash Brewing,
and Vice President Kamala Harris supporters held a rally at
Mad Tree Brewing. So does this mean we have some
political guidance on our beer choices? Joe? Is that? Yes?

(21:13):
Alicia Reese spoke at a rally for Kamala Harris, saying
today was a call for unity, a time for Democrats
not to fight each other, but to unite and get
out the vote. Attendis of the Trump probably said they
want Trump back in office for his border policies because
he ran the country as a businessman not a politician
one supporter. He talks to me directly and takes out
that political jargon, and he's totally transparent and that's what

(21:35):
I like about and he tells the truth. I'm sorry.
Search crews with Ohio LandSAR Search and Rescue we're out
searching for a twenty one year old woman who's been

(21:55):
missing since June. Union Township Police and Ohio Lansar's Search

eighth beach Mont Cherry Grove area, wearing a purple snuggie

She Search and Rescue cruise say she could be wearing
knee high socks that say TUTSI roll on them in

(22:16):
three to four inch lettering. Police search and rescue crew
say she's about five feet and five feet six weighs

mental illnesses in need of medication. Anybody with information about
her whereabouts police call the Union Township Police Department or
the Higho Landstar Search and Rescue. That's sad. A woman

(22:39):
was hit by a train while walking along the tracks
talking on a cell phone happened today, according to Cincinni Police,
reported at about two am West North Bend Road near
Vankirk Avenue and Carthage. Conductor told police it called nine
to one one after hearing what sounded like the train
hitting a deer. Woman suffered a cut to her was

(23:00):

was hit and killed in the city of spring Bell.

way you want to slice it. I'm going to continue
after I mentioned zimmerheating and air conditioning, because everything needs
a O. Their HVAC systems repaired from time to time.
It's just part of the joys of home ownership, isn't

(24:04):
it wonderful? Count on third generation experts at Zimmer. They'll
take great care of you. They have been doing that
for more than seventy five years. Again, third generation. I
love Family Operations Greater Cincinna's leader in twenty four hour days,
seven day a week emergency service. So call them up
with confidence. And if you do need that new air
conditioning unit, they still have the cool Carrier comfort rebate

(24:25):
going on. So why not save up to twenty one
hundred dollars on that new air conditioning unit. Every little
bit counts, and I say twenty one hundred dollars is
a lot. You draw your own conclusions. That's significant savings
where I come from. But you can call Zimmer and
they're great at what they do and they have been
again for more than seventy five years. To get in
touch with them, schedule appointment again twenty four hour days,
seven day a week, go zimmer dot com. That's go

Speaker 2 (25:45):
The talk station that is five forty here. If you
about Parc decalk station, I'm wishing you a happy Monday.
I'm getting to the stack is stupid here, but you
can feel free to CALLI five one, three, seven, four
nine fifty five eight hundred eight two to three talkh

(26:07):
Kids Can't be Kids started the show reminding folks, it
was that Peyton's Lemonade Stand charitable event over the weekend
on Saturday, and I really hope that they put it
a whole People bought a lot of lemonade and thus
put together a whole lot of funds for these wonderful
charitable organizations at Peyton's Lemonade Stand supports. And then I
see this on the top of the stack. Is stupid

(26:28):
the antithesis. Homeowners' Association members in Colorado Summit County specifically
tried to shut down a children's lemonade stand by calling
the sheriff's office. Wilderness Homeowners Association members called the Summit
County Sheriff's Office complaining about children running what they described
as an illegal lemonade stand. They claimed the kids were

(26:49):
blocking the road, yet when deputies got there, they found
the children were not blocking the road. Did ask them
to move back from the road for their safety, but
they were not in the road. The sheriff's left, but
the hot property owners came out and began yelling at
the children, claiming they were on private properties, requiring the

(27:11):
deputies to come back to the lemonade stand. Once again.
The deputies found no issue with the kids who were
selling the lemonade because the property was shared property by
the Homeowners Association and because the children's parents are part
of the HOA, they had the right to be there.
Who does that? What kind of person interferes with the

(27:32):
child's lemonade stand?

Speaker 4 (27:35):
Period?

Speaker 6 (27:35):
That person the biggest douche of the universe, in all
the galaxies.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
There's no bigger douche than you. Pees.

Speaker 6 (27:45):
You've reached the top, the pinnacle of douche. Dum, good going,
dou Your dreams have come true.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Got the full treatment there on that one. Well, this
one hits home for me and maybe you can share
the award. Man arrested in Houston, Texas allegedly sold and
shipped counterfeit cancer drugs worth tens of thousands of dollars
to people here in the United States. Sharing in the
award this morning. Sanjay Kumar, forty three of Bihar, India,

(28:19):
and died in a federal grand jury last week. It
arrested on Friday in Houston while he was in the
United States to negotiate additional deals to expand the illegal
business of selling fake oncology pharmaceuticals here a cord to
the US Justice Department, Kumar and his co conspirators are
accused of orchestrating the sale and shipment of counterfeit versions
of k Truda and other oncology pharmaceuticals to unsuspecting people

(28:43):
here in the United States. Justice said genuine k Truda
is a cancer immunotherapy that has approved in the United
States for nineteen different indications, including for treatment of lung cancer,
had A net cancer, gastric cancer, servial cancer, breast cancer,
hotkin lymphoma, and melanoma. As merk Sharp and dome LLC,

(29:05):
they have exclusive right to manufacture and distribute that particular
drug here in the United States. Kim ar charge with
one kind of conspiracy to traffic counterfeit drugs, four counts
of traffic encounter at drugs, and if convicted, he could
face as many as twenty years in prison on each account.
Lord Almighty, I guess I just kind of wonder how
would you get counterfeit drugs from India? I mean, you

(29:26):
go about the normal process. Your doctor gives you a
prescription and you have it filled, or in the case
of oncology drugs, you go to the doctor's office for
them to be administered in a controlled environment. Do they
end up getting the Indian drugs? Or are people buying
these from their home and self administering, which could in
and of itself pose a huge problem. Just asking out
loud because I'm confused by it. But anyway, there are

(29:49):
some dangerous drugs floating around on the street. Uh A,
let's just send a segment at Scotch early. Only have
fifteen to twenty seconds left, so we'll pause there rather
than going the law in this segment. And that way,
I convinced and pressed Esion terriers for kitchen remodeling. John
Ryan pressed Eesian tiers. They're one and the same. That's
you're working with John Ryan, your true partner for your
kitchen remodeling project. Like he was for hours, did a

(30:11):
wonderful job in our kitchen. I can't remember howny years ago,
it's been My wife and I were having a conversation
about this the other day with different home improving projects
we had. It's like, was that ten years ago? Is
that eight years A guy I can't even remember. I
have to go back and look at the invoices. But ultimately,
great job on the kitchen. We're still enjoying the benefits
and the fruits of John's labor and the team. He
is the one responsible for having every element of your

(30:34):
kitchen and modeling process come out to your satisfaction, well
oiled machine with the teams, arranges everything and can do
change orders on the fly. He's got wonderful ideas because
John has been doing almost exclusively kitchen remodeling for about
thirty five years. Seen it all big kitchen, small kitchens,
large projects and small, whatever sized project, whatever sized budget,

(30:54):
He'll help you stay within it. So take him up
on a lot of his design ideas, because we certainly
did and love the fact that we did take him
up on his ideas. A plus is a better business barrel.
He's member of the National Kitchen Bath Association. He's got a
website you can check out some of them before and
after pictures of the work he's done over the years.
That's Prestige one two three dot com. Prestige one two

(31:16):
call him. The number is five one three two four

Fifty five kr CD talk station. Hope you're having a
happy Monday. Monday, Monday, Christopher Smitheman Smithemant Monday and of
course any day of the week. You can feel free
to call if you like. Love to hear from you
in fifty five carsee dot com for podcasts when you
can't listen live, like, for example, to tech Friday, and
if well Monsignor Jeffrey Burrell had listened to tech Friday's

(31:47):
Dave Hatter, he wouldn't find himself in the position he
finds himself in, which is out of a job. But
the plain in a litigation case against the queer dating
app Grinder grind designed for the I guess the gay community,
some aspect elements of the LGBTQ community. Bottom line is
Monsignor Jeffrey Burroll started using Grinder back in twenty seventeen.

(32:11):
He claimed no indication people outside the app could access
his data corner of the lawsuit. If there had been,
he never would have downloaded Grinder and used it. His
position as the top administrator of the US Conference of
Catholic Bishops required him to take a valve of celibacy
and Catholic teaching opposed a sexual activity outside of heterosexual marriage,
so when this was discovered that he was on Grinder

(32:33):
and using it, he was out of a situation. Back
in twenty twenty one, Catholic media site reported that Burl
had been using the app again, which forced him to
resign court of the lawsuit which Burle filed against Grinder
last week in California Superior Court a legend Grinder did
not protect his data and inform him that vendors could
access it. Spokesmrom for Grinder set in a statement of

(32:55):
The Washington Post that the company intends to respond vigorously
to these allegations was based on mischaracters ations of practices
relating to user data. The attorney representing Burrell wrote to
Grinder last month that his client was publicly outed as
gay as the consequence of the data being released, that
Guy James Carr to have that decision forced out of
your hands and into the public realm as reprehensible, he claimed.

(33:17):
HM recognition a resignation came around the same time that
The Pillar, described as an online newsletter covering Catholic Church
not a defendant, parenthetically reported that it had collected information
about Burrell from Grinder, showing that he visited gay bars
new sites that had hired an independent firm to authenticate
the information. After learning about the Grinder data, they asked

(33:39):
Burl to resign, according to Gregory Helmer, an attorney representing Burrell.
Spokesperson for the organization, told the Post that the time
Burrell decided to resign after allegations of his improper behavior
were released. Also, though alleges that Pillar received the information
from something called the Catholic Lady and Clergy for Renewal,
It's apparently a Denver nonprofit. The president of That Guy

(34:01):
That organization, Jade Hendrix, wrote in an email at the
organization received the Grinder data to help Catholic bishops assist
their priest and seminarians in living their priestly vows. Grinders
sold Burrel's data between twenty seventeen and twenty twenty one
to companies and data vendors, according to lawsuit, and it

(34:25):
says it in their privacy policy too. Last month, Car
asked Grinder to compensate Burl five million dollars. When they
didn't agree, they Burrough filed the lawsuit requesting damage and
on in order that would prevent the app from releasing
user data without prior notice. Now. University of California, Berkeley
Center for Law Technologies Chris Hoofnagel said most people don't

(34:48):
read companies privacy policies, and even if they did, companies
typically remain vague in their policies, such as saying they'll
sometimes share information about the users. If you ever read
that they are sharing your information with third parties, sometimes
can be read all the time or many times, so
don't take cover behind that. That's one of the reasons,

(35:10):
uh because third party companies might find new customers by
purchasing data from Grinder, Like if you're an LGBTQ plus
product selling company, you might want to know who's on Grinder.
Accord to Missobnekol, there's an illusion of control when users
put personal information into applications and the reality is that
there are an unfathomable number of security breaches, many of

(35:31):
which we never hear about because they're undisclosed. So let
this be a lesson, Linda. Let's go to the phones here, Linda,
thanks for calling this morning, and a happy Monday to you.

Speaker 8 (35:42):
Oh thank you, Brian, Good morning. Listen to you every morning.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
Thanks.

Speaker 8 (35:47):
I just wanted to call in in whether you thought
the Olympic opening ceremony was great or bad, or it
offended you or it didn't. On YouTube, Divine Mercy has
all the information for you to protest it, how to
write to IOC, and how to write to the ambassador,

(36:13):
and how to even call. And that's all I wanted
to say is there is recourse, peaceful recourse where we
can protest this. I appreciate that it was Divine Mercy Olympics.
That's what I put.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
In Divine Mercy Olympics in your search engine, and you'd
found the site to issue protest. Appreciate that and protests
we should. And I have an outlouded question to ask you.
Leno was going to get into that. And after the
top of the Aeron news, where was the mocking of
Mohammed remember that part of the Olympics ceremony where they
made fun of Mohammed And yeah right they didn't, did
they interesting? But they didn't mean any offense. They apologize,

(36:51):
So everything's aoka or maybe not appreciate the call. Five

on something going on in the world, like the Olympic Games. Uh, Joe,
have you heard anybody complain about the carbon footprint from

(37:41):
the Olympic Games? I know we like the G twenty
countries meet and they all talk about the private jets
everybody flying in. You got people from literally the four
corners of the globe flying into one city and consuming
products and exhaling and resources and nothing. Huh, not a
word you did. No, no, greta thunbird pulling her hair out,
whining and screaming incessantly into the now. Yeah. I know

iron curtain fell, and he brought them Western music. And
what an exciting time that was. Based on MC conversation
with him, fun conversation, I'm sure an equally fun, if
not more fun book fifty five KRC dot com. Let

(39:08):
us see here. Going over to the Paris Olympics, usually
making again in terms of the prioritization of our topics
of conversation. This was dominating the news because so many
people were offended. And what was the point of that exercise? Anyway?
What was the point of the last supper drag queen

(39:29):
transvestite performance. I just I don't get it. I mean
I get it on a lot of levels, but I
don't get it. Do the athletes agree with this? Are
they all uniformly woke? Was this a learning exercise for somebody?
Did they not anticipate that maybe some people would find
such a fence in it that they would boycott and

(39:50):
reject even watching the Olympics that some people and I
noted one large I think it was a software manufacturer.
Tech company I think was described as a tech company
pulled all of its advertising in the wake of this
LGBTQ trans Last Supper. It's okay, though they meant no

(40:13):
disrespect now a religious conservatives from the round of the
world described a segment with the French Catholic Church Conference
bishops deploring scenes of derision that they said made a
mockery of Christianity. Russian Foreign Ministry also issued a similar sentiment,
as as did the Anglican community in Egypt. One group
an organization after another protesting the disgusting reality of the

(40:36):
Last Supper twenty twenty four. Paris organizers issued an apology
yesterday to Catholics as well as other Christian groups angered
by them. Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
Well, you didn't mean to do it.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
The segment, which described as resembling the biblical scene of
Jesus Christ in the Apostles sharing the last meal before
the crew featuring drag queens, a transgender model, and a
naked singer made up as the Greek god of Wine. Dionysius,
Paris spokesperson and as Camps. In a press conference following

(41:19):
the outrage over that production, clearly, there was never an
intention to show disrespect to any religious group. The opening
ceremony tried to celebrate community tolerance. We believe this ambition
was achieved. If people have taken any offense, we are

(41:40):
really sorry. Is that enough? Sav you know, right around
the corner front the drag Queen Last Supper, there was
a mockup of Mohammed Now there wasn't. Can you imagine

(42:04):
the ourrage the vast majority of illegal immigrants, and Europe
is struggling with a problem with illegal immigration as well.
They are overwhelmed with a huge number of people coming
from Middle Eastern countries, most of whom are Muslim, many
of whom are outraged, don't like the whole system that
they're now living in, many of whom might be members
of terrorist organizations. And I don't know if you saw this,

(42:29):
which is frightening. There was a coordinated sabotage of France's
rail network right as the opening games began. French State
railway and a railway at a post on X described
the fire as cutting of critical signal cables near the
tracks in Courtanelan, northern France. I probably pronouncing the city

(42:52):
in correctly. Apologies to the people living there, called it
a massive attack aimed at paralyzing the high speed line network.
They said a large number of trains were diverted or canceled,
and requested all travelers who could pro postpone their trip
not go to the station. French prime ministers pledged to
find and punish those responsible. Our intelligence services and law

(43:12):
enforcement agencies are mobilized to find and punish the perpetrators
of these criminal acts. That's a statement from the Prime minister. Now,
they state it remains unclear who's behind the sabotage, some
suggesting it's Russia. Given France's position relative to Russia and
the war going on in Ukraine, that's a legitimate potential.

(43:36):
Wall Street Journal had this to say. The sabotage marks
a stunning reach of the sweeping security dragon at that
France erected and to shield the games from myriad threats
ranging from Islamic terrorist groups. The state sponsored sabotaged planned
by adversaries such as Russia or Iran. Iran who might
have reacted with outrage had the opening ceremonies included a

(44:01):
send up of Mohammed or his followers. Former French ambassador
to Moscow had this to say, we are obviously in
a situation of conflict with Russia, and Russia obviously is
not going to do anything, and that's the Obviously Russia
is obviously not going to do anything, and that's an
understatement to help these Olympic Games be a success. Some,

(44:27):
citing intelligence sources reported by CNN, French intelligence services are
investigating the far left Antifa Marxists. They're there too. There's
a tradition in France of black blocks. One said, every

(44:50):
time there's a demonstration, they destroy, they break things. In fact,
France has been facing these problems for several years now.
We haven't managed to solve them and so now of
course it's getting out of hand. And again pointing back
to the influx of a significant influx of migrants from
Third world countries over the years, is a risk of
some of them could be members of known terrorist groups

(45:11):
with intentions to destroy the rest. Yes, they have that
problem too, and we'll wait to see who is responsible
for the sabotage of the rail system impacting about eight
hundred thousand people over the weekend. We turned to our

(45:32):
own southern border or just recently, three Palestinian migrants acrossed
the United States illegally were detained after they were found
to have terrorist ties. Federal law enforcement officials speaking with
a New York Post of one of the migrants had
salacious photos on their phone, including an image of a
masked man holding an AK forty seven. One migrant from

(45:54):
Turkey also suspected of ties to terror groups in addition
to those three Palestinians. Not clear which terrorist organizations allegedly
affiliated with migrants among a larger group who turned themselves
into border agents at the San Diego Sector taken it
to custody by US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement ICE, which
Kamala Harris wants to abolish. Parenthetically, I say the FBIS

(46:16):
joined Terrorism Task Force was investigating their cases. Border agents
in San Diego Sector have been overwhelmed but do not
have access to criminal databases in other countries to properly
vet migrants. According to one unidentified agent, who spoke with
Fox News on a condition of anonymity, quote, knowing who
these guys are, we have like no access to anything international, Like,

(46:38):
we really don't, and it kind of sucks. That's a
quote close quote. He said. I wanted to get into
border and protection. I wanted to get too border patrolled
and protect from terrorists, and it's like, well, I probably
let terrorists in the country, the agent said, probably with
great dismay. Border agents San Diego have been warning to

(47:01):
keep a lookout for people possibly tied to the Palestinian
terror groups after the October seventh attacks on terrorists. Previous
alert sent to the Border agents san Diego Field Office
Intelligent Unit assesses that individuals inspired by or reacting to
the current Israeli Jimas conflict may attempt to travel to
or from the area of hostilities in the Middle East
via circuitous transit across the Southwest border. Foreign fighters motivated

(47:23):
by ideology or mercenary soldiers of fortune may attempt to
obfuscate travel two or from the US to or from
countries in the Middle East through Mexico, said the statement
to the border agents. They also provided patches and insignias
of the various terror groups who our border agents could
recognize them, including Hamas, Palestinian Islami Jihad, and Hesbala, which

(47:49):
just recently launched an attack in Israel killing children who
were playing on a playground or soccer field and may
begin World War three. I know that the the Israeli
defense forces met for six hours yesterday contemplating what they
were going to do to react to Hisbala as a
consequence of that horrific rocket attack. So far, let's see,

(48:11):
we had the number of illegal migrants appearing on the
terror watch list. It was ninety eight for fiscal year
twenty twenty two, went up to one hundred and sixty
nine and twenty twenty three. No total numbers yet from
the federal government on how many on the terror watch
lists have already had encounters with border agents. And I

(48:32):
scream and utter underline with my voice, mphlicis encounters with
because we all know about godaways that had no interactions
with border agents, And go ahead and contemplat, as I
always do when I read that kind of figure, why
wouldn't they encounter border officials? They stand a much better
likelihood of remaining in the country, if that's really why

(48:53):
they want to be here, maybe get a job or
improve their life. If they interact with border officials that way,
they you're name that you get coord hearing in that way.
Someday maybe it'll be determined that you're allowed to be here.
Maybe if you're on the terror watch list. You don't
want to have that kind of encounter because look, as
this article details, they're going to figure out that you're
on the terror watch list and you'll be detained. And

(49:19):
at this moment in time between now and November, we've
all heard of the October surprise. Now, haven't we a
lot of people concerned about the election, and maybe it'll
be interfered with. We saw what COVID did with the election.
Is there some other magic recipe that I don't know, someone,
maybe a terrorist organization can come with to come up

(49:42):
with to interrupt the upcoming November election here in the
United States. Can you imagine the political upheaval if the
election is interfered with? That would benefit a lot of
our adversaries, just to see us in outrage because of
what some perceive to be election. In your experience six

Well you know clearly and Sue, that that little girl
was right there. But this is on full display for
the entire world. Children watch the opening ceremonies, children can
see this. Children have access to social media and see
the reposts of this outrageous behavior, so you can't hide
it from them, whether they're there or not. But yeah,
it was a great illustration of how disgusting and reprehensible

Try to make it happy anyway. Yes, I understand, I
truly do, and I want to just tack this on.
It's not local stories, but just to conclude my thoughts
related to, you know, the concerns of her terrorism. The
threat the shutdown of the train system, which is being
viewed as some act of sabotage or terrorism that's in France.

(54:42):
Of course, came up in the context of the insanity
going on in the opening ceremonies. But real quick here,
and you know, it's almost like we're just waiting for it.
The FBI director has been screaming out loud about the
potential terrorist threats. We literally have terrorists coming across the
southern border, interactions with them, they've been identified. We've got
an insane open border situation. We're going to be living

(55:02):
the reality of that for decades to come. I don't
think Donald Trump will be able to unring that bell.
He's not going to go around and deport it between
ten and twenty million people in spite of the you
know that being this some sort of you know, Nirvana
of solutions, I don't see how it can be implemented.
But look at this, I mean, you consider our vulnerabilities.

(55:22):
We've had, you know, random attacks on power stations and
random tag here and there. There was a Nebraska teenager
who caused a train derailment. A teenager seventeen years old
hadn't been name's been charged with two pelony couns of
criminal mischief in Lancaster County Juvenile court. They are moving
him into adult Courtly said they've moved to do that

(55:43):
caused these BNSF cars to veer off the tracks near
Bennett And in April twenty first trains didn't flip over.
One of them crashed into an empty coal car three
hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of damage. Conductor tried
to make an emergency stop, ran out of time to
do it. He told investigators. A misaligned switch sh near
a crossing caused a crash. He noted the padlock for

(56:04):
the switch had been missing, indicating had been tampered with.
A team described as a train enthusiast in the court
documents one who alerted authorities. He was still on the
scene when the authorities showed up. He approached the investigator
to ask what caused the crash. The investigators say they
didn't know That's when the teenager said, obviously a switch
was flipped the wrong way. He showed the investigators the

(56:26):
video he took. Denied trespassing in the area, but he
was allegedly spotted setting up a camera and tripod near
the crossing four minutes before the derailment. A seventeen year
old can derail a train by just cutting a padlock. Hmm,
one single human being, and that could have been extremely devastating.

(56:49):
Can you imagine if they targeted a train that had, oh,
I don't know, maybe hazardous chemicals on it? Might that
disrupt the lives of a city like oh maybe pick
a random city like Palestine, Ohio. Just saying something out loud,
you know. Anyway, over the local stories here you can

(57:12):
draw your own conclusions and just make your brewing choices. Accordingly,
my wife sent me a text, are we going to
have to change beers now? Sunday? Supporters for President Donald
Trump held a big rally here at Blue Ash Brewing,

Mad Tree Brewing. We have a commissioner's race we need

Speaking of trains, we got a woman hit by a
cell phone hit by a train, while talking on a

(58:44):
cell phone would be better if she was hit by
a cell phone while while talking to a train anyway,
walking along the tracks with talking on a cell phone
happened this morning about two o'clock in the morning, west
North Bend Road near Vankirk Avenue and Carthage. Conductor told
police he called nine one one after hear what sounded
like the train hitting a deer. Miraculously, the woman suffered

don't get a twelve hundred dollars energy tax credit, but
you're going to get one of those. By insulating your home,
you get greater comfort, immediately, more comfortable home. It's a
noticeable improvement. Less sound, even distribution of your HVAC, whether
it's air or heat you're running. And of course in
the summertime, we know what you're running so cool your

(59:46):
home for less money, which I think is almost a
more important point than the comfort, although comfort is really important,
but saving money every month, the product pays for itself
over time, and USA is going to give you a
free attic insulation free when you pay for the extra
walls to have that phone injected into them. So you
have either no insulation in that wall or it could
be under insulated, depending upon where your home was built.

(01:00:07):
So mid seventies is the cutoff date, so after that
you may have insulation. But if it's like my daughter's house,
are twelve deteriorated over decades, then you need the phone.
And that's why we got the phone for her in
her new home for a wet housewarming gift. So three
eight one three six two six and again twelve hundred
dollars from the federal government for doing what's going to
benefit you immediately three eight one three six two six

Fifty five KRC.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
Six forty here fifty five krcdpok station Imitation to call
if you have something you'd like to talk about. Maybe
somebody haven't touched upon yet. There is a whole lot
going on out there. Five one three, seven, four nine
fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two three talk TWN
five fifty on at and t phone, pivoting away from
the Olympic opening games. Uh and the offense or the
opening ceremony and all the offense that created. And what's

(01:01:01):
the point of that. Well, they said it was to unify.
They apologized, said we didn't mean anything by it. Come on,
it's all about unity. It's all about bringing people together.
No intent to disrespect any religious group. Celebrate community tolerance.
That was a statement from the organizers of the Olympics
in response to the outrage over the insult to Christians

(01:01:23):
and Christianity generally speaking. Well, apparently Tajikstani's Judoka Nili em
Omali didn't get the message that it was all about
unity and community tolerance. He refused to shake hands with
Israeli opponent Tohar Football following their match on Sunday. Emmamali,

(01:01:46):
who won the match, chose to walk off the mat
without the customary post match gesture and adding insult to injury.
People there pointed out that he said Alua Akbar while
holding up a prayer symbol known as the finger of
tau weed, which is described as referring to the Islamic
belief that there are is no God but Allah and Mohammed.

(01:02:08):
His prophet wasn't familiar with the finger of Tawei before
I saw the reporting on this thanks to Hannah Grossman
over Fox nineteen among others who reported about this incident.
Emmamali competed against then Japanese Olympian Hafumi Abe, which ended
in brutal fashion. According to the reporting. At the end
of the match, Abbe slammed Emmamali to the ground. Emmamali

(01:02:32):
reached his left arm towards the ground, but the force
of the fall and the weight of Abe ready caused
his arm to bend and dislocate. Had to be carried
out by Olympic staff members. Due to the severity of
his injuries, many are referring to this as an instant
karma moment. Well, he got what he deserved and so
far as that is concerned. But again, and moving on

(01:03:00):
to local politics, statewide politics, described as the first time
since his Senate career began. Senator Sharon Brown did not
get Ohio's Fraternal Order of Police endorsement for re election.
A FOP in two thousand and six endorsed Senator and
now Governor Mike DeWine, who lost his seat to Brown

(01:03:21):
in an upset. Since then, Brown has won the support
of law enforcement. Not this year. Courton Mike Wyman, a
high FOP spokesman and retired officer who's paralyzed in the
line of duty, and God bless him for his service.
It came down to a tweet. He said there was
a shooting here and shared instead of taking time to
listen and talk to us and understand the situation, did

(01:03:43):
what all these people do now and got on his phone.
Brown made a comment, it's a shame now that instant
he's referring to as the twenty twenty one incident when
Columbus police officer Nicholas reared and fatally shot sixteen year
old mckeah Bryant to responded to a domestic violence call.
He got to the scene to find Bryant swinging a

(01:04:04):
knife at a woman, which she kept swinging even after
officer reared and repeatedly shouted to her get down. Mike Wyman,
FOP spokesperson speaking with the Post, said when we arrived,
he was complete chaos. She was using a weapon on
an unarmed person, so he had to unfortunately use his
service weapon to neutralize the scene. Nobody in that house,

(01:04:26):
including the officer, is happy that happened, let me tell you,
but Brown spoke out quickly against the officer and a
lot of people I think remembered that during the vote.
Amen Senator tweeted one day after that shooting, tying it
to the former Minneapolis police officer's conviction for killing George

(01:04:46):
Floyd in a tweet that I'm sure he now regrets,
he wrote while the verdict was being read in the
Derek Chauvin trial, Columbus police shot and killed a seventeen
year old girl. Her name was Mackaya Bryant. She would
be alive right now. Hmm. Brian's death also apparently sparked
black Lives Matter protest because Rearden was a white officer

(01:05:07):
and she was a black person again swinging a knife
in a very violent fashion representing a threat to life
and limb officer cleared a wrongdoing with a grand jury
decline to charge him. After the review found that the
shooting was justified. Wyman also said further, quote unquote statements
from shared Brown about police may have cost him votes too.
He said, people here are people here genuinely know where

(01:05:29):
he stands on things like George Floyd and qualified immunity.
Our voters know their stuff, and he just wasn't being
clear enough about where he stands. Brown has always been
great for supplies, vests, helping us get resources, but I
think now our people aren't as sure that they can
trust him. Now. That's sad. That doesn't mean Burnie Marina

(01:05:54):
is going to get the FOP endorsement because he wasn't
on the list, said Wineman. This person said it was
procedure over politics. In the past, of a candidate failed
to get the votes on the floor, a member could
make a motion to suggest a new name and we
could have an immediate direct vote on that. This year
we changed that only names from the screening committee could
be voted on, and only Brown made it past them.

(01:06:17):
The committee passed on Moreno, apparently dud to his lack
of political experience. Wineman said, he's too new, great businessman
potential for sure, but he has to prove it like
Vance did. That referred to the twenty eighteen vote when JD.
Vance was able to get the endorsement over more experienced competitors.
He said, Vance really worked for it, he campaigned Moreno,
just ran out of time, Wineman said. And apparently the

(01:06:40):
High Fop's not going to be making any other additional
state wide endorsements this election year. So congratulations, Senator Sharon Brown,
you stepped in it. One more thing to remember when
you vote in November. Who is strong on law enforcement?
See Kamala Harris's record, well doc, heumented, defund the police

(01:07:02):
politician she is. It's another one. She's trying to duck
around these days with the mainstream media covering her tracks.
Oh no, by the way, she was not in charge
of the border. Let's get that down. Six forty seven
fifty five krc DE talk Station twenty two three are
Route forty two between Mason Elebanon. It's a great gun store,
it's a great indoor shooting range, and it's run by
fantastic people. The owners are truly wonderful, wonderful folks. So

(01:07:24):
tell Wendy and Jeff Bryan said, Hi, when you get
into twenty two three Route forty two between Mason Elebanon. Yeh,
go on the range, you will truly appreciate. It's the
safest indoor range you'll have ever been on. Range safety
officers are there, it's extraordinarily clean, and they offer classes there.
So if you want to learn how to shoot a gun,
then there's a class for you. If you already know
and you want to hone those skills, there are multiple classes,

(01:07:44):
including the CCW class, which is important if you're planning
on traveling with your firearm. Check your local state rules.
Many many states in order for you to enjoy reciprocity
to require that you have a CCW license from the
state of your residence. And there you go, right there
at twenty two three. You can get that and learn
some skills while you're at it. A wonderful selection of firearms,
all the accessories you can imagine, you know, shooting bags

(01:08:07):
and ammunition of course, cleaning supplies. They really have it
all and you're gonna love the staff there. They're great. Also,
they have a gunsmith. So I've covered most of it.
You can get all the information online at twenty two

Yeah, who love Greenbatcher that is six fifty almost six
fifty two here fifty about their CD talk station. Try
to have a decent Monday anyway, it's a caller earlier.
It's like happy Monday. I know, I know, interruesting, I
get it. One of the topics talk about Diheart media
aviation ext for Jay Rattliffe all the time is the

(01:08:46):
spiraling at a spiraling, out of control situation at Boeing
obviously in connection with the aircraft and the Boeing seven
thirty seven, most notably the Max and the problems that
they had. I mean even he he'll do anything in
his power to not fly on one of those specific aircrafts.
That's not all Boeing aircrafts, but Boeing obviously has some

(01:09:07):
well manufacturing problems and oh my god, how would you
feel if you were Butcher Whitmore and Sanita Williams. Those
are the two astronauts who are stranded on the International
Space Station because the thruster failures and a helium link
and they're Boeing star Liners spacecraft. Frightening situation this past Thursday,

(01:09:29):
NASA's Commercial Crew Program Manager Steve Stitch, speaking with reporter, said,
we don't have a major announcement today relative to a
return date. We're making great progress, but we're just not
quite ready to do that. They have yet to formulate
a return for the Starliner aircraft. He did emphasize the
ultimate goal is to bring those two astronauts back to

(01:09:50):
Earth on the spacecraft. Well, isn't that a noble goal.
They've been up there more than fifty days. Apparently that
thing has a lifespan of ninety NASA has rated star
for ninety days in space. They took off on June fifth.
Starlight had described as one of two private spacecraft that
take astronauts from the Earth to the International Space Station,

(01:10:12):
along with SpaceX's Crew Dragon. Boeing lagging behind Crew Dragon
and Cargo Dragon for years, and that's been facing years
of challenges. You got to put your life in the
hand of Boeing. I mean, this is I mean really
putting your life in the hands of Boeing. I know,
aircraft fly back and forth all the time, and it's
apparently safer statistically than getting in your car and driving
to work. But you're stuck in space. You're stranded in space,

(01:10:40):
and you've got to rely on Boeing, who apparently was
testifiring its thrusters over the weekend to see if they work.
We're going to fire all those thrusters to a number
of pulses, just to make sure before we undocked that
the whole system performs the way we expected it and
the way it did last time we checked it. Not
exactly confidence inspiring Boeing these days, As Jo always points out,

(01:11:04):
I guess the stock would be in the toilet, completely
in the toilet, although it was down from its eyes
by a lot, if the government did not have massive
numbers of contracts with Boeing. Yeah, you can't just swap
out Boeing for somebody else. It takes too long. Look
at the back orders of aircraft. You can't just turn
to air Bus and say, hey, can you fill the
order for a thousand aircraft? I need them now. So anywell,

(01:11:28):
I'm certain the FAA is diligently investigating this one as well.

Speaker 11 (01:11:33):
Eh.

including some positive developments for Indiana schools and uh well,
more reasons why you need to get the hell off
of TikTok. Get the hell off of TikTok. Trust Dave Hatter.

(01:11:54):
You don't need to listen to me. I've drawn my
conclusions based upon the comments from Dave Hatter. It is
not someplace you want to be, and I'll give you
the reasons why I stick around. We got that plus
Christopher Smith and at seven thirty I could we can
stick around.

what's going to happen on fifty five KRC the talk station.

Speaker 13 (01:12:28):
I used to believe everything I'd see on the news,
but that's before I discovered a brain.

Speaker 14 (01:12:33):
A brain is meant for everyday use. Those living with
moderate to severe stupidity have seen immediate improvement in common sense.

Speaker 4 (01:12:40):
With a brain.

Speaker 13 (01:12:41):
I thought the government had my best interest at heart,
and then a friend told me about a brain.

Speaker 4 (01:12:46):
Talk to your.

Speaker 14 (01:12:47):
Doctor about what new sources you obey. A brain may
also lower your desire to take life altering advice from celebrities.

Speaker 4 (01:12:53):
Getting lectured about my carbon footprint from people with three.

Speaker 14 (01:12:56):
Private jets used to make sense, But thanks to a brain,
now I can think for myself every day.

Speaker 4 (01:13:02):
When my disregard for third grade biology began to flare up,
I knew it was time for a brain.

Speaker 14 (01:13:08):
Do not try a brain if you're allergic to a brain.
Common side effects may include accountability discernment, homeschooling your kids,
a better understanding of economics, awareness of the stupidity of socialism, and.

Speaker 15 (01:13:20):
Diarrhea for tethering yourself the reality.

Speaker 4 (01:13:23):
The only no brainer is choosing a brain. Ask your
doctor if a brain is right for you.

For more information, visit tryobrain dot com.

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
Thank you, Joe, I saw that over the weeknded like, yeah,
you need to get the audio from this one. Try
a brain. Try critical thinking. It's seven oh seven and
feel free to try call it in here to look
about there in the morning show. You got something to say,

(01:13:55):
I'd love to hear from you. Five one three seven
eight hundred eight two three Taco with Time five fifty
on AT and T phones. But you have got caresy
dot com is always reminder of the iHeart media apps
right there waiting before we downloaded. You can listen to
it on your smart device, which you're not going to
be able to use if you're a student in Indiana
this school year. And what a wonderful development that they've
gone to in Indiana. I wish more school districts would

(01:14:15):
embrace this. So you got eybody going off to school
here soon, first day back at Dearborn and Ohio County students.
Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb has signed two bills that he
did back in March that are now in effect for
this school year Wednesday, July thirty. First I guess is
when they're going back to school there? That seems too early.
That's not right anyway. Under has new law, cell phones, tablets,

(01:14:40):
laptops and gaming devices utilized for personal use are now
prohibited in the classroom. And it just really strikes me
as odd how they could ever been allowed in a classroom.
Lawrenceburg Community School Superintendent Carl Gaily, speaking with Fox nineteen,
the cell phone should be off and put away or
a lot of our teachers do have certain areas where

(01:15:00):
they can turn them in turned off and they can
be there during the class period. You get them back
at the end of the day. Exceptions on when they
can be used, like, for example, educational purposes with a
teacher's permission, or to manage a student's health. Students with
disabilities can use the devices, and cell phone use is
permitted for emergencies only. According to Galleon the statement, will

(01:15:23):
the teachers have the power to confiscate the phones if
it's being used. If it goes off, then they may
take it and turn it into the administrators. They will
return it at the end of the day, but then
it starts then increasing consequences after that, which detention or
Friday school apparently is going to be the most severe
punishment for repeat offenders. So there's also a nutruency law

(01:15:44):
that was passed applying to K through six graders. Dearborn
in Ohio counties have collaborated with the Juvenile Courts, Prosecutor's
office and probation officers the Department of Child Services that
take steps forward to include high schoolers as well, so
six excused absences are permitted on elementary level grades. In
grades six through twelve, four excused absences are permitted. So

(01:16:06):
once you start accumulating the unexcused absences, it will start
leading to letters from the school, letters from the probation department,
visits from the probation Department or child Services, and eventually, potentially,
if it gets too severe, could lead to a visit front,
a visit with the circuit court judge. According to the superintendent,
so I think those are positive developments. Kids need to

(01:16:27):
be in school, of course, maybe those kids are being homeschooled,
taking the advice that Joe Chrekker played at the top
of the hour, because you got a brain. But at
least the cell phones are out of the classroom and
that's a good thing. And get the hell off at TikTok.
We hear this from Dave Hatter all the time. Now
it's a national security threat corner the Justice Department. TikTok

(01:16:48):
collected data about its user's views on a lot of
different sensitive topic as well as censoring various contact at
the direction the Chinese based parent company, reads Chinese Communist
Party Court. To this announcement on Friday by the Justice Department,
sensitive topics they tracked on TikTok including your views on

(01:17:08):
gun control, abortion rights, religion, as well as political views.
These details are made publican court filings late Friday in
response to a federal lawsuit that TikTok filed arguing that
a new law requiring a sale or ban of that
app violates free speech rights for millions of Americans under

(01:17:29):
the banner of national security. Now that law bans Chinese
backed TikTok in the United States unless a parent company,
unless the parent company, ByteDance, divests the platform by mid January.
Senior Justice Department officials said in the statement, the collection
of data from Americans is not a protected activity. They've

(01:17:50):
previously defended their data collection practices, safeguarding the privacy and
security of people who use TikTok as one of our
top priorities, they have said in the past. But now
we've come to find that no, they are in collecting
all this sensitive data and funneling it over to the
Chinese government. Chinese Communist Party Justice partman Elsa said TikTok

(01:18:12):
had a history of censoring contact and manipulating its algorithm
at the direction of byte Dance, the Chinese Communist Party
directed company. Justice Department officials said TikTok us, by its
own admission, is merely a conduit for content moderation on
decisions made by the Chinese elites. Justice Department said TikTok's

(01:18:35):
proposal to store US user data and server here in
the United States is insufficient to protect the data because
TikTok employees relied on the Chinese parent company, byte Dance,
developed software to share the information and at times sent
significant amounts of restricted US information to China. They concluded

(01:18:57):
this based on revelations that TikTok employee had sent significant
amounts of restricted US user data to colleagues in China
using Byteedance's internal com communication system, a thing called Lark,
which byte Dance operated on servers in China, meaning that
those communications were stored there and accessible by ByteDance employees
located in China. Here's an interesting one for those out

(01:19:23):
there concerned about their sexual orientation. I read the article
about the priest who's suing Grinder for releasing his information
that he was using Grinder and going to gay bars
and stuff, saying it was a violation of his privacy.
Wall Stet Journal had previously reported the TikTok tracks users
who watched gay content. TikTok said. The dashboard that employees

(01:19:45):
used to access this has been deleted if you trust
them on that. And the scary figure in all of
this is that more than half of the United States
adults age eighteen to twenty nine actually used TikTok. Pew
Research did the number crunching on that one. And you
know why, It's because it's popular. I got to be there.

(01:20:08):
I don't care the collecting my data. They censored speech
on behalf of the Chinese government corner of the Justice
Department core filings as well. National security officials have regularly
warned a potential dangers from the China application, but declaration
from Casey Blackburn in the Office Director of National Intelligence
provided details. Intelligence reporting further demonstrates that Bye Dance and

(01:20:31):
TikTok Global have taken action in response to Chinese government
demands to censor content outside of China. So say Blackburn
in allegal brief. Now, apparently that point that he made
there that I just read described as sandwich between heavy redactions,
making it not precisely clear whom TikTok allegedly censored and

(01:20:54):
what information the Chinese government wanted hidden. But consider the
number of people who regularly used TikTok half of all
eighteen to twenty nine year olds, and many of them
get their news exclusively from TikTok. Do you think the
Chinese Communist Party might have some interest in being biased
on what content you read or what it elevates? Answers, Yes,

(01:21:17):
it does. It should US governed a lot unclassified and
unclassified information to collect and evaluate the threat that TikTok poses.
According to Blackberg's declaration, in this heavily redacted a legal
brief Justice Department file ince to the national security harms
from China's authority over TikTok's owners included enabling the blackmail

(01:21:40):
and coercion of Americans and the identification of covert US
intelligence officers and assets. US officials have also had concerns
that China could be used could use byteedance to recruit
and develop intelligence assets. Well, we have threats both foreign
and domestic under those circumstances, now, don't we? Justice Department

(01:22:04):
filing said, and I quote The threat that byte dance
or TikTok could easily manipulate the algorithm to promote or
suppress certain content is not an abstract one, TikTok and
Byte Dance employees regularly engage in a practice called heating,
in which certain videos are manually promoted to achieve a
certain number of video reviews, in other words, elevating content

(01:22:26):
that the Chinese Communist Party desires you to see and
having you consume it, influencing the hearts and minds of
already paralyzed Americans as we had on into November. The
kids are on TikTok, Ask them why get them spread
this information around? And you have intelligence community assets and
the idea of blackmails is pretty profound here now.

Speaker 6 (01:22:48):
I know.

Speaker 2 (01:22:48):
The United States governments said no, you can't have TikTok
on government devices, but those folks in the intelligence community
and otherwise do have their own devices and may very
well be on TikTok considering how popular it is. It
only takes, as Dave regularly points out, a handful of
data points on any given platform for them to easily
figure out who exactly you are, even if the data

(01:23:11):
is anonymized. AI artificial intelligence algorithms go quickly to work,
and they fare through all this stuff, and they regularly
draw the lines and connect you to other people, which
of course could reveal whether or not you have any
connection with the federal government or intelligence or any other
area American military, for example, Oh, this person has a
whole bunch of friends in the American military. Maybe that

(01:23:32):
person is in the American military. Let's use a few
more data points and figure it out. This is how
it all comes together, folks seven to seventeen fifty five

Speaker 2 (01:25:10):
That's right. I try to Well, we want to talk about.

Speaker 16 (01:25:14):
Your TikTok coverage there.

Speaker 17 (01:25:17):
This is one of the reasons why the government is
trying to take it away from its owners and have
essentially a government or private entities on it here because
they could control the content because there are obviously certain
subject matters that to consider taboo or other things that
millennials are not brainwashed with. But more importantly, Davia Brahmaswami
brought the fact that obviously Nikki Haley's daughter was on TikTok,

(01:25:41):
and he brought that up and he's like, well, you're
on TikTok too. He's like, well, yeah, I can reach
in here and tag them graphic that way. So but
the thing is, and I've tried TikTok for a short time,
I think it's boring. You know, a lot of the
content is just mind. I mean, every now and then
you find a creator that actually has something like I
saw girls taking scrap metal and making really cool figurines and.

Speaker 16 (01:26:02):
Stuff out of welding.

Speaker 17 (01:26:03):
Yeah, now that was a cool cha But for the
most part, a lot of stuff on her craft with
a lot of politicians.

Speaker 16 (01:26:09):
Know, you want to get the young demographics to vote,
that's the way to go.

Speaker 17 (01:26:13):
It's a lot of social media's already control, like Fascist
Book and other places. Sure Winner has gotten better, but
I don't think it's still there yet because it's still
conservative voices being centered.

Speaker 16 (01:26:25):
So that's a problem.

Speaker 2 (01:26:26):
Well, and you know, taking the TikTok platform and making
it a US based company doesn't change the nature of
our lords and masters on in given side of the
political ledger filtering the content. I mean, we know the
federal government was sitting in the offices of Facebook and
other social media companies directing the content and censoring and

(01:26:46):
filtering content. So whether it's a Chinese Communist Party doing
it or the United States government doing it, it's still
filtering of content that they, in their infinite wisdom, deem
objectionable or alternatively elevating content that they want everyone to
read and see. But you make a great point. If
that's where half of the eighteen to twenty nine year
olds are most assuredly on the platform, that's what politicians

(01:27:09):
want to reach. So it's like a vicious cycle. On
one hand, you know what the Chinese Communist Party is
doing with the data, you know it's nefarious and you
know it can be put to nefarious purposes. And yet
if you don't participate, you're going to denied access to
all these millions of people out there in the world.
So do we take the good with the bad, or
do we just try to collectively realize that TikTok is
bad in and of itself and voluntarily choose to walk

(01:27:32):
away from it, which would be, in my little libertarian mind,
the best way to approach it, which is why I
bring it up. You have a choice. No one's forcing
you to join these platforms. You have to make an
educated decision. When I see what the Chinese Communist Party
is doing and I don't want to do anything to
benefit them, I choose not to participate. That keeps me
out of the loop with the eighteen to twenty nine
year olds, I guess, but you know here, I am

(01:27:54):
nonetheless appreciate the call. I really do, Sonny. I hope
you have a fantastic day. Form decisions. Remember it's brain,
use it, exercise logic and reason, and make informed choices.
Seven twenty five at five KC. The doxtation, I mean, really,
you don't need the government to take it away from you.
Just deprive yourself of it by deleting it. An idea

(01:28:16):
calling electric for all your residential electric needs projects, improvements,
whatever it happens to be. You want to call my
friends at Colin Electric aplus with a better business. Baro
family in an operated celebrating twenty five years of putting
smiles on people's faces when it comes to the price
as well as the customer service, and they do a
wonderful job with both license electrician doing the solving your problems.

(01:28:37):
Like it's dark in my house, I need can lights.
That was one of my problems. Going did a great job.
My only regret is I didn't call them a lot
of years ahead of time. The benefits of those lights
are absolutely fantastic, and I'm a big believer in the
LED lighting solutions these days because they don't look like
real harsh and bright and sort of non incandesse and

(01:28:58):
bullby looking. Yet you can get a huge spectrum of
light out of these different can lights, and in fact
they're changeable, so if you wanted to change the spectrum
down the road at some point, it's easy to do
on the cant light itself. And they last such a
long time, and they also are energy savers. So here's
me I've changed my mind because they have be come
so improved. They're a multitude of LED lighting solutions, and

(01:29:20):
of course Culen can manage all of those, from rewiring
your entire home to just installing an outlet ten year
wiring warranty for anything that they're doing for you. So
confidently call them and you can five one three two

Seven thirty. Here fifty five KRC Decalk Station Mondays at

the week we get to hear from the form of
Vice Mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smith Aman
with the smither vent Christopher, Welcome back to the program.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend, my friend.

Speaker 12 (01:31:07):
I did. Brother, thank you so much for having me on,
Brian Thomas that I always look forward to to coming
on your show on Mondays and just sharing my thoughts
about the previous week of what's happening.

Speaker 2 (01:31:19):
And there's so much material, so much.

Speaker 12 (01:31:25):
One of the things I'll share with you, brother, is
I want you to know you're my brother, and it
has nothing to do with race politics. It's just the
connection and danger. And the danger in today's political climate
is that once the vice president was appointed as the

(01:31:48):
new you know top candidate for president for the Democratic Party,
that the division, the language of of making us not
like each other based on any number of things, whether
it's identity politics, whether we call it, whether it is
gender politics, whether it is race politics. It just ratcheted

(01:32:12):
up to a whole nother level last week. Unbelievable. And
if we're not careful in this country, we're not going
to like our neighbors. And I just continue to encourage
your listening audience to reject this stuff and make sure
that they stay focused on the issues like inflation. Like

(01:32:33):
you know, people are hurting so bad when they go
to the grocery store just trying to buy orange juice, eggs, milk,
chicken beef. I mean, those are the issues that the
everyday American is trying to deal with. Brian Thomas is
just trying to pay their bills, their duke energy bill,

(01:32:54):
their gas and electric bill, their water bill, their house
nots are their rent that have spiked. So that is
what people will vote. They're not going to get caught up. Now,
there will be people on each side to get caught
up in the identity politics, but those of us who
are down the middle, who really are trying to make
it like every day, like get up, send our kids

(01:33:17):
to school, pick up up, make sure they get a
good education, that kind of stuff. Man, we are just
not going to get caught up in this craziness. We
just want to be able to go buy our orange
juice and our and our eggs and our meat and
be able to feed our families. And right now that
is very difficult to do under this current administration.

Speaker 2 (01:33:34):
Well, there's no question about that. And you know, I
find the efforts to whitewash all that if I can
use that term without sounding like I'm a racist or something. Christopher,
you know what, walk You know, it's just like crazy.
Everything can be construed as depending on what someone's perspective is.
But in the media trying to you know, not only
like for example, when he comes to Kamala Harris and

(01:33:56):
her prior record, No, no, she is, she was never
The borders are, is what they're saying now after years
of calling it the borders are. You can't unring the bell.
It's all out there. The Internet is a permanent thing,
and so trying to tell us that everything is great,
the Bidenomics is great, although not using that phrase anymore.
Bidenomics because it's toxic to the Democrats. But to stare
us in the face and talk about how wonderful everything

(01:34:19):
is in the face of that those specific realities. You
don't have to be a poor person to look at
the grocery bill and realize the price of groceries has
gone through the roof over the past couple of years.
It's simply a fact. Same time, you know, when Brian
James comes on it at eight oh five, one of
the topics the one million dollar starter home is becoming
the norm. I mean, if that's not just a smack

(01:34:42):
in the face of how unaffordable things are, what else
could possibly be? That's what we are all living right now.
So say what they want. You can't hide behind the
bills that you're paying right now in front of your face.

Speaker 12 (01:34:54):
And when you throw in fuel, college education, these basic
things that you know middle class families are trying to do.
And then you hear the Democratic Party saying they want
to forgive all of these student loans. Who is going
to pay for that? Is that will increase inflation? You
and I have worked our butts off, saved money to

(01:35:18):
send our kids to school, at least pay a portion
of it. While they're working their way through school. We're
closing the gap, whatever the scenario is, so that they
had either lower student loan debt or no student loan debt.
But it was a tremendous sacrifice for my late wife
Pamela and I to do.

Speaker 6 (01:35:36):
It.

Speaker 12 (01:35:36):
Insenses me that, you know, all of a sudden, you
have the President just saying with a magic wand I'm
going to just get rid of all of this student
loan debt as if it's free and you and I
aren't going to pay for it. That's the kind of
stuff if people wake up and they just think through that,
the absurdity of that and how unfair it is. And

(01:35:57):
my youngest son who went into the Middle military, meaning
he went directly from high school active duty in the military,
and he's been there four years. He's coming out in August,
as a matter of fact, he's coming home. But he
is going to use his eighty thousand dollars that he
got from the military, meaning his veteran benefit, in order

(01:36:18):
to send in order for him to get a college education.
But he gave four years of his life to the military.
What do you say to Caleb who spent his four
years in the military and the person that decided. Hey man,
instead of me going to Ohio State where I got accepted,
I went to Harvard. I got two hundred thousand dollars
in a student loan debt. Hey, I'm just going to
forgive that. What about all our kids that are serving

(01:36:40):
our country well?

Speaker 2 (01:36:41):
And the kids that went to the trade schools and
the adults who went to the trade schools didn't pursue
a college education. There's more people out there that didn't
go to college than did. I mean, I guess I
look at it in two ways. One, yes, obviously he's
trying to buy votes for his party, buying votes from
among those who still have an outstanding student loan. Fine,
they're all giddy with excitement that they got their free
thing from the government. But is it a winning strategy

(01:37:04):
for all the people out there who are looking disc Well,
wait a second, this isn't fair either. I paid off
my student loan and busted my hump to do it
and tightened my belt in order to do that. It's
been discharged. I did the right thing. Where's my slice?
Or alternatively, those that didn't go down that road went
to a trade school, otherwise just went out and got
a job. They're paying for this debt relief for those

(01:37:27):
people out there with a college education that was supposed
to give them a leg up economically on those who
didn't go to college. I don't.

Speaker 12 (01:37:34):
I can't think that you think the voters understand that.

Speaker 2 (01:37:37):
I'd like to think they do, Christopher, But you know what,
I'm starting to question my my belief in the prudence
and intelligence of the American public generally speaking, so personally,
I'm still trying to be optimistic that people see through it.
I don't know anymore in this in this political landscape, Christopher,
hold on right, have time going to come bring it
back as I always do. After I mentioned affordable imaging services.

(01:37:59):
I love saying money and I love well telling the
powers of authority what to do and doing something different.
Because your power of authority in this particular case is
your doctor. Your doctor is part of a hospital system.
In most cases, they're going to keep the money in house,
so you're going to get refer to the hospital imaging
center for the MRIs, the CT scans, ultrasounds, and echo cardigrams,
where it's going to cost you a ton of money,

(01:38:21):
even if you have insurance. Do you have a deductible,
do you have a copay? Is there any out of
pocket liability you can find out ahead of time. My
favorite illustration is Jeff who called the hospital ahead of
time and found out that after his insurance payment he
was going to have to pay thirty one hundred dollars
out of his own pocket for the echo cardiogram that
he needed. Nope, he said, he heard me talk about
affordable imaging services where he only paid four hundred and
ninety five dollars, No ups, no extras, that's all it costs,

(01:38:44):
and that price includes the board certified radiologists report, equipment
is the same professionals operating it, the radiologists reports identical
or anything you get from the hospital. So why spend
outrageous amounts when you have a choice. So don't go there,
find out the information and advance you find out it
will be in your financial best interest to go with
affordable imaging services five to one three seven five three

(01:39:07):

What else is on your mind to day? My friend
brother listen.

Speaker 12 (01:39:38):
I was talking to somebody last week and they were
all fired up Brian Thomas about a particular candidate. I'm
not going to get into which candidate because it didn't
matter to me once the person said that they never
voted in their life and nor had their spouse, and
so what I don't what I don't under stand is

(01:40:01):
people that are so fired up about this election and
are not registered voters. And as much as we see
the voter turnout is going to be high, there's still
so many people that are going to be on the sideline.
So we're ninety nine days out from the election, but
early voting will start in October, and in order for

(01:40:21):
you to register and be a part of this election
is going to be sometime in early September, is what
I would believe the reality of it is all of
us need to be looking at our young people and
our families, looking at our elders, even in our family,
and encouraging them to register to vote, to update their
address so that it matches their Board of Elections wherever

(01:40:44):
they are in the United States of America, so they
can participate in this election. And then make sure that
you show up. If you have an opinion but you
don't register and you don't participate, it doesn't matter. And
that just gets under my goat. But I'm like, like, God,
like please, like you've got to vote. Do you run

(01:41:04):
into that Brian Towns occasionally?

Speaker 2 (01:41:06):
Yes, I do. I mean you can't. You can't get
away from the fact that a lot of people are apolitical.
They don't think they have any time for politics, which
is frightening. They don't believe they have any real truth
say in the matter, which I understand that frustration. You know,
we keep going back to the well, keep hoping things
will be different, and it's quite often they just turn
out the same or even worse. But you got to
participate in the process. And I understand and I can

(01:41:28):
acknowledge that Donald Trump is a divisive guy, that it
baked into the entire cake. Is this lightning rod Pavlovian response,
that evil orange man, divisive, crazy whatever. But Kamala Harris
does not offer anything better. In fact, she offers what
looks like a far more radical four years as presidents
than anything else you could come up with, which doesn't
sit well with other voters. But you're like Trump, Harris,

(01:41:50):
I feel like I have no legitimate choice here. Both
of them suck. Why would I want to go and
participate in the election. But that overlooks all the important
down ballot races, including the ones that impact us most,
the local races law enforcement and people who are either
pro against law enforcement or judges, and judicial races, local representative,
state reps and state senators. These are all critically important

(01:42:12):
to our neighborhood.

Speaker 12 (01:42:14):
Absolutely, And I would just say, if you know small
business owners who really employ people in this country, I
think should be sending emails out to their employees and
encouraging them to register to vote, and not assume as
one as one thing that somebody could do. If they're
a small business owner and they're listening, hey, engage the process.

(01:42:36):
Ask your employees. You're not telling them who to vote for.
You're just saying, participate in the process. Have voter registration
cards you know, you know, around your business, and then
allow your staff to submit that to you to your
board of elections. The other thing that has me fired
up this morning is people that are saying that they're
going to lead the country depending on who's elected. Well,

(01:42:59):
here's what I want to tell them. Leave the country now.
Don't wait if you don't like if you can't see
what's happening on the southern border where people are trying
to bum rush to get into the United States of America.
No matter what problems we have, this is still the
greatest country in the world for someone to live. And

(01:43:19):
if you don't like it, get the hell out, Meaning
I will buy your one way ticket if you want
to go to Canada. Go to Canada.

Speaker 16 (01:43:27):
Man.

Speaker 12 (01:43:28):
I'm just so sick of people saying, hey, man, if
I don't get what I want in the elections, I'm
going to just pack up my stuff and I'm gonna leave. Well,
go leave, you know what I'm saying, Like no one
has said the United States of America is a perfect place,
but if you don't like it, get out. And I
talk about that piece I'm watching people on my TV
burn American flag right outside Congress. You got Benjamin Nitt

(01:43:51):
and Yahoo addressing Congress. You got congressional members who refuse
to show up, including the Vice President of the United
States of America, which I think was a terrible mistakes
to our only ally in the Middle East. But then
you've got five thousand, ten thousand people outside protesting saying
they love Hamas, but they're burning the American flag. They're

(01:44:12):
they're they're uh, they're putting craziness on our monuments, and
they're taking our flag down, putting up Palestinian flags in
the United or Hamas flag in the United States of America.
If you don't like the United States of America, get out,
go somewhere else. We're okay with it. Go by train,
go by plane, go by foot, go by bike, go

(01:44:33):
by backpack. We don't care. Get out and try to
burn a flag in their country. And I guarantee un
till you, I guarantee you they.

Speaker 2 (01:44:42):
Will chop your head off.

Speaker 12 (01:44:44):
If you go to another country and try to burn
their flag, they will chop your head off.

Speaker 2 (01:44:50):
Well, you know what's interesting amid all this country or
discussion Smith Christopher smiling about leaving the country if they
don't get what they want by way of the election.
Look what so many businesses did over the past more
four or five years since COVID. But beyond, what do
they do when they found out, Like, for example, California,
people fled the state of California because of their woke

(01:45:12):
ideologies and their terrible anti business environment, their outrageous taxation,
and the absolute mismanagement of their government over the last
several decades. At the point where they got billions of
dollars in debt, what did companies do. They exercised their choice.
They packed up their bags and they left. California lost
billions of dollars, as did New York, as did some
other very blue states Illinois hemorrhaging businesses as well. These

(01:45:35):
are people making informed decisions on what's good for them.
If I moved to Florida or Texas or fill in
the blank, where I'm going to have less taxation and
lower regulation, that's good for me. That is the antithesis
of embracing woke leftist ideological policies. Christopher, and people act
with their pocketbooks and leave, and they stay in the country,

(01:45:55):
but they find a better place because we have a.

Speaker 12 (01:45:57):
Republic, absolutely, and I want to close with the I've
been watching them. We live in a spectacular country. I
want to lift up all of the athletes who are participating,
even those locally who are winning. You know swimmers who
are winning. But let me share something with you, as
an African American Catholic family, listen up as a person

(01:46:18):
who supports the LGBTQ plus community, as a person who
has a son who is a member of the LGBTQ
plus community. I was offended by what I saw on
TV and the opening games that someone would take the
last Supper right and do that on national TV. The

(01:46:40):
point is that don't try to pigeonhole people who support
the LGBTQ plus community to say we can't criticize when
when you do something that doesn't make sense, that was
offensive too Christians. You don't take the last Supper and
make a mockery of it and imagine how many people

(01:47:01):
had to sign off on that, think it's okay and
put it up on TV for everybody to see. This
is the problem, Brian Thomas. We're living in a world
where people think that anything goes, that truth doesn't matter,
that truth is relative, and that people can do any
damn thing they want to do, they cannot. There are
things you can't do, you shouldn't do, that are disrespectful.

(01:47:22):
And I would say that to me was disrespectful. It
wasn't because the LGBTQ plus community was doing it. It's
because it's the Last Supper, and by the way, that
is one of the most center pieces for Christians around
the world.

Speaker 2 (01:47:37):
Amen. And I guess one thing that we do know.
We've learned this over time that you can't criticize or
mock Mohammed or the Islamic faith and you'll end up
getting in big, big, big trouble. Maybe that's why there
was no mock up of Mohammad or the Muslim faith.
Just the noticeable absence of the other religions being mocked

(01:47:58):
just struck me as rather odd. Vers Smithman always great.

go over with Brian James. Monday Monday, Brian James, thanks
to all Worth Financial for loan and Brian out every
Monday for a few segments we can talk about money
related issues. Brian James, Welcome back to the fifty five
Cassey Morning Show, my friend, always a pleasure having you on.

Speaker 15 (01:50:06):
Thank you again for the opportunity to chat with you
and your listeners. And let me point out that this
is the first Monday in several that we haven't had
some major over the weekend headline to deal with really well,
if you think about it, I don't know, maybe it's
ancient history now, but I'm still going to classify the
attempt at assassination and the shift in the election over

(01:50:27):
last weekend a little more interesting than this past weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:50:30):
Yeah, and weren't, but.

Speaker 2 (01:50:32):
Still certainly more interesting than the antics at the Paris Olympics,
which are dominating a lot of the conversation of late
bot whatever. Anyhow, you know, it's funny because the article
deals with much much more than the concept revenge spending.
But I circled that term because that's a kind of
a new economic concept after post COVID people just you know,

(01:50:55):
their their wallets opened up and they started buying things.
And I guess now that it's post pandemic, revenge spending
is over and hitting corporation's bottom lines. But the revenge spending,
it's like, damn it, you kept me in my house
and away from social interaction. I'm going to go out
and spend a lot of money. Is Is that really
what that concept is all about?

Speaker 1 (01:51:14):
Treat yourself, that's what it's all about.

Speaker 15 (01:51:16):
Yeah, we have stuck in our houses for long enough
that we spent a while catching up for things that
we convinced ourselves we deserved, and that has driven the
economy for the past several years. We're starting to see
that pull back a little bit. People have finally gone Okay, great,
I've gotten out. Now we're even, and i need to
back off a little bit because I've got different things
to focus on. So we are seeing some cooling in
a lot of areas.

Speaker 2 (01:51:35):
And a lot of areas that it sounds to me
like people are making prudent choices. I mean, you have
a finite amount of money, and when it comes to
time that you realize that you have a finite amount
of money, that you start pairing back on perhaps what
some might call extravagances and things that you really appreciate
that you don't need.

Speaker 15 (01:51:57):
Yeah, so it's interesting some of the company that were
contacted in this article to talk about how people are
how shifting a spending preferences are happening. So we're seeing
companies such as Nestley. Nestli, by the way, owns everything
under the sun. If it's a food, it probably belongs
to Nestley. So they sometimes go google the brands that
are under the NESTLEI Umbrella, and there's an absolute ton

(01:52:18):
of them, and they will absolutely shock you. But they're
reporting that they cut their revenue outlook. And and then
on the other end of the spectrum, we have a
Porsche who is you know that there's a that's a
that's a barometer of a consumer, you know confidence there
if you're looking at exactly what Porsche is doing. Porsche
is acknowledged that, yeah, it's going to be a rough year,
but they're not going to change their pricing, so they're

(01:52:40):
not going to take any major.

Speaker 1 (01:52:40):
Steps to adjust to it. So this doesn't seem.

Speaker 2 (01:52:44):
Luxury cars would be one of those things that people
might decide, well, I don't need a luxury car or
that high end a car. I can go with something
less expensive. But what I've read about Porsche is a
lot of it is supply chain problems. Are still reeling
from some of the parts and and things they need
to actually manufacture some of the more popular cars.

Speaker 15 (01:53:04):
Yeah, they're still subject to The automotive industry is still
suffering from some of the things that came up during
the pandemic, and the fewer of units that you sell,
the more that's going to hurt because you can't make
any profit margin if you didn't sell one. But that said,
it's still not pushing to the point where where Porsche
is actually and others are actually making major price cuts.

(01:53:24):
Tesla's a little bit of a different example, but there's
a couple other moving parts to that one. But we're
seeing some other luxury brands too, like Louis Wuitan's that's
known as a business wise LVMH in the in the
spotlight in a major way because obviously the Olympics are
in Paris and there's a huge focus on luxury and
all that kind of stuff. But they're they're reporting a
pullback as well, and they feel it's all due to

(01:53:47):
changing customer behavior due to where we are economically.

Speaker 2 (01:53:50):
Well, you mentioned you hit a nerve with me when
you mentioned Louis Vuiton or any of these other high
end luxury manufacturers, because you know there is a substantial
difference one could argue with, you know, performance and handling
and responsiveness and all that with a you know, a
Porsche versus a low end Ford. You know there are
demonstrable differences between it. I don't necessarily appreciate those differences

(01:54:15):
when it comes to spending thirty thousand dollars on a
purse versus one hundred dollars on a purse. Functionally, they
all are identical. They hold stuff and things you can
buy different sizes. But can you really justify spending tens
of thousands of dollars for a very small quantity of
leather that is usually manufactured for something less than one
hundred dollars by the manufacturer. It's just I don't know.

(01:54:39):
These are the kind of choices that always puzzle me.
But you know, if you've got a whole lot of
money and you want to urtue you signal you go
out and spend thirty thousand dollars on a purse, I
guess yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:54:47):
And the other people that you and I run across
every day, you with your late radio listeners, and the
mindset of the clients that we have all worth financial
None of that stuff makes any sense for the exact
reasons you just mentioned. However, for a huge chunk of
the global population it does. Let's not forget, the wealthiest
person on the face of the earth is the is
the CEO of LVMH luxury goods provider.

Speaker 1 (01:55:12):
So somebody out there is into it.

Speaker 11 (01:55:14):
Just not us.

Speaker 2 (01:55:15):
So what do we learn from this other than it
really solidifies everything that we sort of perceive. You know,
we hear from our elected officials and everything's great. Look,
stock markets up, you know, hirings up or whatever, and
we're going to get to that. I guess the job
market may have changed on us, but to most Americans though,

(01:55:36):
they are out there in the world dealing with these
prices and dealing with these choices that they now have
to make that they previously didn't, primarily driven by inflationary reality.

Speaker 15 (01:55:48):
Yeah, and I think the thing I want to point
out about it because there is underneath all of this,
there isn't a shocking, you know, smoking gun headline, Oh
my gosh, we have to start thinking differently because of this.
It's really just more of the same, except that we
seem to be reaching a sort of a turning point
in all of this. But the thing that I want
to point out, Brian, is remember.

Speaker 1 (01:56:06):
Where we were a year and two years ago.

Speaker 15 (01:56:08):
What happened to all the people who were looking for
a recession or a lot of people who are out
there saying we're already in a recession. Everybody knows that
this is a recession. They just haven't said it yet.
Well that's two years ago and we haven't seen anything
like it. And I also haven't heard the term soft
landing at all anytime soon.

Speaker 1 (01:56:23):
So on one.

Speaker 15 (01:56:24):
Hand, I want to think we did have a soft
landing because we're not talking about it, which is probably
the definition of a soft landing.

Speaker 1 (01:56:30):
In any case.

Speaker 15 (01:56:30):
The point is, don't react to these that this is
still nothing to react to. In terms of changing the
way you do you live your life, know what you
need to spend and know what your resources are.

Speaker 2 (01:56:40):
Yeah, and having a budget is really helpful and those
to that end. But in terms of the market impact,
I mean, if you have a diversified portfolio, presumably you
are not heavily invested in luxury items. But then again,
Ford has taking a bath on their electric vehicles. They
losing billions of dollars a quarter, and they're seems to

(01:57:00):
be no end in sight on that. I saw the
other day they had to recall I think it was
Toyota had to recall one. They're going to replace one
hundred thousand engines. I mean the entire engine for two
different lines of automobiles they made because I guess the
engine just they crater on you. But you know, Ford
also has its recall issues billions of dollars worth, So

(01:57:20):
you know, I presume Ford maybe part of my portfolio
somewhere out there. It's reeling from things independent of the economy.
It's reeling from people's choices not to buy evs and
from its manufacturing problems that resulted in recalls.

Speaker 15 (01:57:34):
Yeah, and again that's the whole point of having a
diversified portfolio. If you bet the farm on Ford's electric vehicles,
first of all, I would wonder where where that.

Speaker 1 (01:57:42):
Idea came from. You likely didn't. You're right, it's in there.

Speaker 15 (01:57:46):
It's in part of your portfolio, as you probably have
an index fund somewhere in the mix. Well, Ford's one
of the largest companies in the face of the earth,
so it's probably in there. And they're not going to
go away overnight over this. But how does this affect
what you should be seeing in your portfolio as a
rotation most likely from the sexy go go growth stuff
to the boring value stuff. This is a pullback in technology,

(01:58:07):
and we've seen the Nasdaq has taken a beating, although
it's still it's still in a really strong position. For
the year, but it's gotten slashed a lot. Was up
about twenty four percent, now it's up something like fifteen percent.
They always referred to as the tech heavy NASDAK, and
you're seeing a lot of companies like you just stated
that aren't doing so well. We already talked a little
bit about Tesla. Google is losing money handover fist on ai.

(01:58:30):
They're spending a lot more money than they bringing in.
Amazon has put billions of dollars into Alexa and they've
gotten millions back, and that's not how you make a
good business. So you're starting to see this rotation in
investor interest away from technology where it's been for a while,
into the more traditional industrial type stuff, and that also
is happening, Brian, in anticipation of a potential rate cut

(01:58:51):
in September, but more likely closer to the end of
the year. Those are all things that help the value side,
not the technology stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:58:58):
So you're tea leaf reading suggests that they'll if they're
going to do an interest rate cut, it's going to
come after the election.

Speaker 15 (01:59:04):
Yeah, I mean, the bonds are trading in a way
that indicates a September cut. But remember, we don't do
all our interest rates cutting interest rate cutting at once.
You know, the powers that be would very much like
to get the attention on the fact that we're cutting
interest rates and that's business friendly. I'm sure there are
those out there who want that to happen before the election.
There are others out there who don't want that to
happen because they're rooting for a different outcome. So, but

(01:59:26):
the way you can normally tell by the way the
bond market moves when interest rates cuts are coming, and
it's looking like Q three Q four this year.

Speaker 2 (01:59:33):
All right, we'll see if the job market has an
any significance in terms of the Fed's decision to cut
interest rates. Coming up next, hottest job marketing and a
generation is over so as the Wall Street Journal Brian
James will break it down for us in the next segment.
In the meantime, here's money related point, and that's the
cost of your medical insurance, which I'm sure is just

(01:59:54):
in your mind too crazy. Medical insurance is expensive, and
many people choose not to get medical insurance because they're
facing an out of pocket liability that is just way
beyond what they've got in the bank account. You're going
to be out of pocket nine thousand dollars before your
insurance kicks in. You probably are in many cases won't
get the insurance, and many employers see that with their employees.
How do you get your employees insured and improve your

(02:00:15):
business's bottom line at the same time. That's one of
the things that John Rowlan or the team that Covers
since you do every single day. Maybe you're a family,
you've got to get your own medical insurance because you're
currently uninsured or you're paying too much to your employer.
What happens at cover since he is John on the team,
do a deep dive individually. Every single person in your
family has looked at as an individual, not as a
collective group. And the same thing goes with employer insurance.

(02:00:37):
Finding the best package of medical insurance, including dollar one
coverage for less money. It works out all the time,
and so many people have so satisfied. Get in touch
with John and the team so do that. It doesn't
cost you anything but time. You're not obligated to do
anything except reach out to John and find out if
he can save you substantial sums like couples under sixty

(02:00:57):
five save in between a five hundred and one thousand
dollars a month with better coverage. I know it sounds impossible.
That's why I say give them a try. Five one

ce DE talk Station Happy Monday, doing Money Monday with
Brian James every Monday for a few segments.

Speaker 2 (02:01:28):
Not good news. This one obviously a gloomy dude, gloomendoom headline.
Hottest job market in a generation is over. Things are
still pretty good from an employment standpoint, but the direction
things are going is not a positive one. This is
all post COVID, the insanity we were dealing with with
a job market that completely disappeared and all of a

(02:01:50):
sudden came almost roaring back overnight. And uh, people felt
very secure with their ability to get a job and
very secure with their ability to keep a job. Maybe
not so much anymore. Brian, what's the story on this?

Speaker 1 (02:02:03):
So we've seen it? What's seen?

Speaker 2 (02:02:04):
Excuse me?

Speaker 15 (02:02:05):
Seen a poolback here in jobs being created and a
pull up in the unemployment rate. So unemployment rate has
gone up to four point one percent. That's the first
time it's been above four percent since November of twenty one,
So that's what you were just referring to.

Speaker 1 (02:02:19):
That's peak pandemic time.

Speaker 15 (02:02:21):
Soah, yeah, we're this is just a pendulum swinging back
the other way. Labor market is still pretty robust though,
and as we were talking about earlier, there were forecasts
not that long ago talking about a huge pullback and
hiring and that just has not come to fruition. So
gradual tightening of conditions here. And it also varies based
on the location of the industry, so that's happening where

(02:02:42):
you might expect it. So the industries that had the
most booming growth during the pandemic, leisure and hospitality, are
taking the biggest hit. So those job openings there have
dropped from a ten and a half percent in April
of twenty two down to seven percent April of twenty four.
So we've seen a pretty big decline in the industries
that benefited the most in the post pandemic era.

Speaker 2 (02:03:02):
How is all of this impacted by the immigration system.
I've this situation. I mean, I've read many articles which
suggest the vast majority of the jobs that have been
hired or created over the past couple of years went
largely to illegal immigrants, either working under the table or
getting maybe work visas or something. But I'm just wondering
because one of the facts that's in this article, I'm

(02:03:24):
scratching my head over it said, quote you see jobs
posted on LinkedIn in one hundred and seventy five to
two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars range with job
descriptions that are almost identical to a position that would
have been two hundred and seventy five thousand dollars a
few years ago. I don't think that is the type
of job they're talking about when they say immigrants have
taken them.

Speaker 1 (02:03:41):
Yeah, I would agree with that.

Speaker 15 (02:03:43):
That is definitely something to pay attention to, because, you know,
it's interesting we did have over the there certainly weren't
any efforts to really stem the tide of immigration coming
over the border, and yet we still had a really
strong labor market. Whoever was picking up these jobs were
there were plenty to go around, and you could kind.

Speaker 1 (02:04:00):
Of take your pick.

Speaker 15 (02:04:01):
So we'll see how big of a headline is obviously
we're in an election year, so this has already been
you know, this topic comes up anyway in any election year.
It's going to become more and more of a focus
now that we can actually point to declining job opportunity
numbers as a result of it.

Speaker 2 (02:04:16):
Well, if it's declining job opportunity numbers, that means people
are more interested, you know, maybe getting employment or fewer
jobs out there. Does that mean salaries will be lower
because in the face of what we just talked about,
with everything getting more expensive, you would think they would
go the opposite direction. But supplying demand and supplying demand, oh.

Speaker 15 (02:04:33):
I'm sure companies would love nothing more than to shell
out a little bit less for payroll here over the
next coming quarters as we have this crunch a little bit.
So yes, we'll definitely see some a little bit of
wage contraction because that's just the natural how the pendulum
swings when it's all about supplying demand, whether you're talking
about widgets or jobs, if there's a lot of them
out there, then companies are going to be there's a

(02:04:55):
lot of workers out there wanting to work, companies are
going to be able to pick and choose and pay
what they want versus when there's a worker shortage. That's
when you get McDonald's doing signing bonuses. As we tend
to see about once a decade, the pendulum is swinging
back the other way, and that's not the case right now.

Speaker 2 (02:05:09):
Well, you did mention food service industry right there, But
is there a particular sector of the economy that this
is particularly challenging The jobs are drying up more than
others or sectors. I mean there's some still booming and
good sectors to be in.

Speaker 15 (02:05:24):
Yeah, So the more industrial types of trade, so mining, logging, construction,
durable goods, are also on uptick in job openings due
to rebounds in those sectors.

Speaker 1 (02:05:35):
And again some of that is coming from the fact that.

Speaker 15 (02:05:37):
Those more value oriented industrial type sectors rely more on
corporate financing as opposed to your technology companies that rely
on future growth. And so, as we talked about earlier,
if we're looking at an environment where we have potential
rate cuts coming, that means those companies will find it
a little bit easier to do business because it's going
to be cheaper to borrow money. So they're planning on

(02:05:58):
expanding their businesses. So we're seeing a rotation out of
the stuff that we've become used to, which is it's
all technology, technology, technology into stuff we haven't thought about
in a while.

Speaker 1 (02:06:08):
The traditional industrial spaces exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:06:11):
Well that there are lots and lots of trade jobs.
I talk to folks all the time on the Morning
show about that and the need for them. So it's
a great option for young people to consider going to
a trade school or earning while they learn, as opposed
to a four year college where you can learn computer
programming and find out that artificial intelligence has taken your
job from you before you've even got one.

Speaker 1 (02:06:29):
To say, Brian, I talked to it.

Speaker 15 (02:06:30):
I talked to a lot of happy people who've spent
twenty thirty years in a trade as you know, maybe
part of a union or maybe not, but still in
a learning of skill and expanding on that skill, and
they tend to land pretty solidly on their feet. They
all will say, it's a grind in your twenties when
you're just getting started. But if you tough it out,
the demand for those the need for those jobs is
not going away, So suck it up and tough it out.

Speaker 2 (02:06:52):
There you go, little pain from the front end can
be a long term reward for you on the back end.
Eight twenty six more with Brian James one million dollar

it Brian James. After I mentioned speaking of the trades
fast and pro roofing, there's a trade business right there
and they do fantastic work. I've seen it. They replace

(02:07:14):
my roof and the gutters and the siding, gutter guards,
the whole nine yards and they did wonderful work. And
that's what they'll do for you. And if you need
a new roof, a shingle roof, you're gonna automatically get
upgrade to the certainty certified landmark pro fifty years shingle.
When you're dealing with fast and pro roofing, and to
deal with fast and pro roofing regardless of what kind
of roof you have, they do them all metal roofs.
They do commercial and residential stucco or adobe and slate roofs,

(02:07:39):
every kind. It's beautiful work they do. They do custom
metal work. They'll do box gutters and exterior projects including
the siding I mentioned. And solar they do solar and
they do skylights. So look at their web page and

Very happy Monday to you, Monday Monday. Brian James one
more segment. Well, you know real estate, you know location, location, location,
It's always been a hell of a lot more expensive
to buy a home or even rent in a city
like San Francisco compared to OH, I don't know if Poughkeepsie, Iowa,
or a Columbus, Ohio or something, But there are a

(02:09:58):
lot of cities now that it'd be. The word affordability
doesn't even seem to come into the discussion. Brian two
hundred and thirty seven cities where one million dollars is
the medium starter price.

Speaker 1 (02:10:10):
Yeah, imagine having to deal with that.

Speaker 15 (02:10:12):
You're fresh out of college, maybe you've got student loans,
and you're wanting to start a family and settle down,
and you've got to come up with a million dollars
before before you get to think about it.

Speaker 2 (02:10:20):
Well, that's the financial impossibility unless you're making like massive,
massive bank I mean, how much money you have to
earn a year to even afford that.

Speaker 15 (02:10:28):
It also depends on where you want to live, of course,
but it also depends on exactly what you're getting into.

Speaker 1 (02:10:34):
Million dollar homes come with more than just mortgage payments,
tax ha fees and all that other stuff. Taxes, Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 15 (02:10:41):
So Yeah, So the headline here is that not that
million dollar starter homes exist, right, go figure, there's a
bunch of them in California. That's kind of the that's
ground zero for ridiculous real estate prices. But since twenty nineteen,
the number of cities with million dollar starter homes has
increased or has gone up by three hundred percent.

Speaker 1 (02:11:01):
There's now two.

Speaker 15 (02:11:02):
Hundred and thirty seven cities out there now spoiler alert,
none of them are in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, So
I hope that's not too much of a shock. But
for those folks that there's and there's only the twenty
five of our fifty states are on this list, so
and they are where you would expect, but they're popping
up in other places too. So Nevada is now on
this list. Illinois, so obviously Chicago driving that one. That's

(02:11:23):
the only Midwestern state that I've seen here. But at
the same time, you know, I'm looking at there's a
couple houses right here up the street from me where
we're looking at the prices going Really, they're nowhere near
what we're talking about here, But that doesn't mean that
that we're not still seeing this this ridiculous demand for
dollars that people expect their houses to be worth well.

Speaker 2 (02:11:45):
Either like a recession or a bottoming out of the
real estate market, a contractional the amount of people who
are living or even desirous of buying a home. I
don't know what there is there a solution to this,
and there's certainly not a short term solution. I mean,
more houses available on the market might bring the price down,
but that's going to require a lot of building, a
lot of building of homes this lower in a lower
price range. Are builders even inclined to do that?

Speaker 1 (02:12:07):
So far they are?

Speaker 15 (02:12:08):
But I remember this cycle the last time, where you
have a neighborhood that went up halfway and you have
a muddy street that has five houses and it'll sit
there for seven or eight years until the pendulum swings
back the other way. There was a lot of that
in northern Cincinnati where I live, and through this last
swing that we went through.

Speaker 1 (02:12:26):
So but so far, so good. And that tells you
the strength of the economy.

Speaker 15 (02:12:30):
Despite the headlines, despite the I grabbing headlines that hey,
things are about to go over the cliff and the
world's about to end. There's a lot of people suffering
out there, but there's a lot of people who aren't.
There's this much money, we have the ability to pay
this much. That's why the demand is where it is.
It's purely supply and demand and it's also being driven
somewhat by corporate ownership of homes. Right, there are more

(02:12:52):
entities out there who are throwing money than just your
your young couple's trying to get started in life well.

Speaker 2 (02:12:57):
And one of the ways around that is maybe get
your neighbor home owners association do a restrictive covenant requiring
the owner of the home to actually occupy the home.
Those are popular these days.

Speaker 15 (02:13:08):
Absolutely, and that that is more and more common. You're
gonna hear that headline more and more. Uh So, we
just we were fortunate to be able to take a
vacation to Hawaii over the last couple of weeks, and
there is a huge backlash against the against corporate owned
real estate and what what the what these corporations are doing,
Just so we're clear, as they're buying it all up
and they're and they're turning around and renting it out

(02:13:28):
on Airbnb and v rbo in those kind of places
for short term rentals. A matter of fact, there are
headlines over the last couple of weeks about Barcelona over
in Spain where there has been a massive pushback against
tourism and that's going to cost a lot of people
a lot of money. If that city truly decides they're
gonna they're going to restrict what you can do with
a with a real estate investment, then that will drop
the values of those of those properties in a significant way.

Speaker 1 (02:13:50):
And it's going to put some mortgages at risk.

Speaker 2 (02:13:52):
Well, it certainly will. But beyond that, this is not
a short term fixed solution. I mean, there isn't anything
out there that you can say, Wow, if we just
do this, then problems solved.

Speaker 15 (02:14:02):
Didn't get here overnight. It's not going to go away
overnight either. Somebody's gonna have to take the hit. Somebody's
gonna have to vote for somebody to take a huge hit.

Speaker 2 (02:14:10):
Well, on that happy note, Brian James, I appreciate money
advice every Monday for a few segments. We'll do it
again next Monday and between now and then, best of
health you and everty at all worth.

Speaker 1 (02:14:20):
I'll try to be less of a wet blank next week.

Speaker 2 (02:14:23):
Thanks. You can try, but you're dependent upon the headlines
and the current issues related to money. Brian. Let's all
pray that there's positive news between now and next Monday.

(02:15:57):
Early in the program, talking about TikTok and the Department
of Justice came out with some pretty stinging allegations about
TikTok and the Chinese Communist Party getting all of your
personal information and of course it ending up in China
for the purposes of maybe blackmail, maybe influencing elections there
of course data manipulating, elevating topics of interest for them
that they appreciate and benefit perhaps on some level, of

(02:16:21):
the Chinese Communist Party or to a certain extent, benefit
the CCP by dividing us further, thank you Tech Friday
Dave Hatter for regularly reminding listeners to get the hell
off of TikTok. You can do it. Just pull the
plug yourself. You don't have to wait for someone to
take it away from you. But you are participating in that,

(02:16:42):
and you are helping and facilitating the Chinese Communist Party
gain well control access, influence over the hearts and minds
of Americans generally speaking. And trust me, they don't have
our interest in mind. And it's one thing you know.
You know they're controlling the content. You know who runs it,
So you need to be jaundice and skeptical when you're

(02:17:03):
looking at it if you do use it. But as
I pointed out, by forcing TikTok's sale to the United
States company doesn't mean there won't continue to be data
manipulation or yes, keeping your personal information and selling it
off to third parties. All of these apps do that.
Dave tells you about that every single Friday. And look

(02:17:26):
at what Google's doing right now, talk about data manipulation.
You ever use the auto fill when you start to
type something, it gives you all types of options, the
auto complete feature, Well, Google is not showing results for
the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. It used to do it,

(02:17:47):
but it doesn't anymore. It's omitting suggested results that even
mentioned Donald Trump's name. So, for example, if you type
in the assassination attempt of under normal circumstances, particularly given
how prominent in the news that recent assassination attempt of
the Republican nominee for president is and how much it's

(02:18:10):
all over the news, it doesn't even mention Donald Trump.
Search result reported by The New York Post said the following.
If you type in the assassination attempt of what it
comes by way of autocomplete gives you Ronald Reagan President
Reagan attempt at meaning Archduke Ferdinand comes up. Going back

(02:18:34):
a little bit on that one, aren't we And even
Gerald Ford's name pops up no reference at all to
Donald Trump. Now, if you type in assassination attempt of
Donald Trump, while you will not see any auto completes
that provide you with that, if you hit enter, it
will link you to articles relating to it, but it's
not going to suggest for you or complete for you

(02:18:57):
anything that has Trump's name in it. How about that? So, yes,
the Chinese Communist Party is endeavoring to manipulate you and
of course stealing your data for its own nefarious purposes.
But I guess alphabet is too, and it doesn't stop there,
it's everywhere. So just just trying to keep you on

(02:19:20):
your toes, folks. The bias is inherent in the system,
and it's not a bias toward things conservative, Republican, or
even religious for that matter. It's the antithesis of that.
Coming up at eight forty five. If you I have
carec the talk station, please feel free to call one
more segment to go through for this Monday's morning show.
Remember tomorrow Breitbart and Brightbart's Inside Scooping eight to five

(02:19:43):
and then Daniel Davis Deep Dive at eight point thirty.
Enjoy those segments. And I also appreciate and enjoy using
odor exit products because they work, and that's really important
when you're trying to eradicate an odor that is annoying. Yeah,
skunk spray is annoying. Whatever my dog rolled around in
a year or so ago was really really annoying, almost
worse than skunk's brain. To this day, I don't even
know what I well, I don't even want to know

(02:20:05):
what it was we'd see. I got the oto exit
concentrate out, put it on a rag and rub that
right directly on Liam's head. This is after he got
a bath and he's still stunk, and it eliminated it immediately.
It was gone. And that's what you come to expect
with outo exit products. Use them as directed and they
will eliminate the odor and one hundred percent satisfaction guarantee.

(02:20:26):
If they do not, then you get your money back.
Just talk to Deb from otor Exit and speaking of
talking to her, if you have any questions about what
product you should buy or how you should use it,
or maybe you had an unsuccessful attempt the first time
out of the gate using the product. Deb's got some
great ideas on how to get rid of that odor.
And that's why you buy OTO exit products again, one
hundred percent satisfaction guarantee. It's easy to buy them at

(02:20:47):
the website, which I encourage you to do, because you go,
you'll get it tomorrow. So order before three today, it'll
be on your front porch tomorrow otorexit dot com and
free shipping on orders over I think gets twenty five dollars.
Don't quote me on that one. But if you order
enough ODO exit of products, you get the shipping for free.
Order it confidently it will eliminate the odor accept the

(02:21:09):
odor of a stench of politics. As I point that out,
od O r xit odor exit dot.

Just I have a fifty to fifty five KRC the

said happy Monday, How difficult is that?

Speaker 4 (02:22:30):
Well, try to make it eat an easy thing to do.

Speaker 2 (02:22:32):
Try to find a thing to put a smile on
your face in spite of the gloom and doom we
are surrounded by. Otherwise, they win cribbage. Mike, thanks for
calling this morning. I got a few callers online were
starting the order in which they received Mike. Good to
hear from me as always.

Speaker 16 (02:22:44):
Hey, it is a happy Monday, Brian. We're all on
the right.

Speaker 13 (02:22:47):
Side of the dirt, sir.

Speaker 2 (02:22:48):
Good for you to say that there's an important one
right there.

Speaker 1 (02:22:50):
Hey, you're alive.

Speaker 2 (02:22:54):
Hopefully we don't have to go that far down the list,
but exactly when in doubt.

Speaker 13 (02:22:58):
Got you gotta get all with a grain of salt
and just be enjoy the bless day that we are afforded.
I had a similar Facebook experience like.

Speaker 4 (02:23:07):
You had earlier this year.

Speaker 13 (02:23:10):
I just made an innocuous post. I did use the
picture of when Benjamin net Yahoo addressed the joint and
Sessen of Congress and just making a remark. In my
sixty seven years, that's the first time. And I could
be wrong that that Vice president didn't even say her
name was not seated along with the Speaker of the House.
I have about two or three hundred Facebook friends. On anything,

(02:23:32):
whether it be comic, goal, veteran issue, or newsworthy, I'll
get about thirty or forty thumbs up or some type
of emoji, maybe fifteen twenty comments. I got like three
and about two comments. I had some coworkers they never
saw it.

Speaker 2 (02:23:49):
Yeah, and that was my experience because I rarely post
things political. I mean, you get nothing more than a
happy Friday or a picture of the dog or dogs
of the case may be. And usually with my five
thousand and plus mine or my five thousand or so friends,
I'll get maybe one hundred two hundred, you know, chiming
in give me a thumbs up or whatever. A lot
of people will comment nothing. It was like two comments

(02:24:10):
when I posted something that was just sort of semi
remotely political. It wasn't even know ahead on criticism or
attack on any given party. So yeah, that's there's your
algorithm at work right there, Mike. It's just another illustration
and knows Facebook's biased, of course it is. They don't
want to spread the content that we want to get
spread out there, so I don't figure a way of
bringing it to people's attention. Like did anybody see that

(02:24:31):
post I made from earlier question mark? I got more
responses to that one than I got from the folks
first post, which nobody saw. My God, listen man, looking
forward to listening to live. You going to be coming right?

Speaker 13 (02:24:44):
Oh, absolutely, sir.

Speaker 2 (02:24:45):
Great seventh of August. We'll be at Jim and Jackson
the River, where I'll probably lose to cribbage. Mike again,
doctor j you're number two. Welcome to the program, sir.

Speaker 4 (02:24:54):
Happy Monday.

Speaker 11 (02:24:55):
Hat back at you. Yeah, hey, yes, I just did
a duck duck go search on assassination attempt and in fact,
as I started to spell assassination down below, it was
an assassination attempt was.

Speaker 16 (02:25:08):
A suggestion for me. I clicked on that media.

Speaker 11 (02:25:11):
Went to Donald Trump's assassination pictures, articles this that, you know,
all kinds of stuff. I don't know when they got
into other presidents. In fact, I didn't check and they
looked down ten. So again they are alternatives to Google.
But it just proves as we already know. And a
question for you, isn't this a political donation in kind?

(02:25:31):
Does it not need to be given to the FCC?
Don't we have laws about this?

Speaker 2 (02:25:37):
Raising an interesting legal spector there for some litigation attorney
to perhaps pursue on behalf of I don't know, maybe
the Trump campaign. Yeah, that's a strange reality there, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I mean.

Speaker 11 (02:25:51):
They're altering their business practices to present a different picture.
I mean to give a certain promotional quality to one candidate.

Speaker 2 (02:26:00):
I'm a profound promotional quality to one candidate. As far
as I'm concerned, you may be onto something there. I
appreciate the way your mind's working this morning, doctor Jay.
God bless you and love to your beautiful wife Cricket.
We're wishing her obviously the best of health. And finally
we'll close this you out with Mississippi James. Happy Monday
to you, my friend. Welcome back. Oh good morning, Brian,

(02:26:22):
what's on your mind to day?

Speaker 19 (02:26:23):
James, Yeah, I'm sorry to confused about this project twenty
twenty five and Trump did not not knowing anything about it,
not knowing that people is on there. But what research
I'm getting it is just research that JD. Van is
supposed to be part of it, and he wrote.

Speaker 2 (02:26:43):
The forward.

Speaker 4 (02:26:46):
Upcoming book.

Speaker 12 (02:26:47):
Whether it's out or not, I don't know. So what's
your hang alone there?

Speaker 2 (02:26:51):
Well, it is a project that was put together by
the Heritage Foundation, four hundred different scholars and analysts, a
whole bunch of different groups, described as a mix of
center to right groups. It is a wish list for
every single conservative slash middle of the road piece of
agenda that could ever come up with. So it's literally

(02:27:12):
everything put into one package. The Heritage Foundation supports what's
in there. I presume it's nine hundred and twenty two pages.
The Republican Party did not adopt it. Donald Trump said
he is not embracing it or using it as a platform,
but it's just far reaching. If you were part of
a Heritage Foundation or any other type of independent organization,
you two could put together a wish list of everything

(02:27:32):
you want. But we all know there's things that we
agree on and things that we don't. The Trump administration
that was not running on this as a platform. There
are things that Trump administration specifically disagrees with that are
in here. I know Trump is in favor of tariffs,
the Heritage Foundation is not. I don't know what Jade
Vance's position is on it, honestly, I haven't run anything

(02:27:52):
to that effect, but to the extent he embraces it,
it's not his party's platform, and it's not the big guy,
Donald Trump's platform either. So it's kind of like that
they're using it as a fear tactic. But you have
to understand what's in it, who prepared it, and what
Trump's position is on it to whether or not that
that fear tech is going to work. If you don't
know anything about it, you don't know where it came from,

(02:28:14):
and here's someone say, oh my god, project twenty twenty five,
you might get alarmed over it. But once you peel
back the veneer of the argument that Trump is all
in favor of twenty twenty five, you find out now
that's not the case. It's a big, long wish list.
We all have a list of things we want the
government to do or not do, as the case may be.
Rarely do any of us get even some of our way,

(02:28:35):
let alone nine hundred pages worth of it. Just like
a pony, right, Joe, My dad wanted a pony. His
dad said no. Eight fifty six pitch five KRSD Talks
