55KRC Monday Show - Smitherman, Adam Koehler

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
You are twenty twenty four election headquarters. Wow, she's got
a lot of accents. Fifty five KRC the talk station
five o five.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
At fifty five KRC, the talk station. Happy Monday.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Some say still is a vacation.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
And that's the way the news going.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Indeed, it is coming up on five oh six, that
be Monday too. You folks up. You had a wonderful weekend,
and I think you like calling him this morning. I'd
love to hear from you as always five one, three, seven, four, nine,
fifty two three talk. Go with town five fifty on
AT and T phones and get over to fifty five
KRC dot com. My wife read about a third of
the book The White Privilege Album. I interviewed the AJ Rice,
the author of that, on Friday. Pretty funny. You can

(01:05):
get a copy of that right there, along with the
David Chudwin's book The Magical Decade nineteen sixty five to
seventy five. And a discussion, actually a heated debate, just
trying to get guy focus on issues Issue one, say,
voh no, the gentleman supports Issue one here in Ohio.
I'm not quite sure it got much information out of them,
but it is a convoluted, really wild, weird way of

(01:27):
changing the germandering situation. No one argues that the gerremanning,
that geremannic is not a problem, but this is not
the way to fix it. And as you're looking through
that and really important to me, and it came out
at least in partnering the discussion I had. You know,
what does it mean when they say they're going to
have an even number of Democrats and Republicans in independence

(01:47):
at least somewhere along the way in this convoluted process.
What what does it mean when you say you're a Democrat,
where in this political spectrum are you? When you say
you're Republican? Where in the Republican political spectrum are you?
And when you say you're an independent? That guy claimed
that seventy percent of a high Winds are independent? What
does it mean to be an independent? Does that mean

(02:09):
you're distancing yourself from traditional two party system? Are you
a communist? You're not represented in government? Are you a
Green Party person has no representation? Are you a little
L Libertarian or a big L libertarian? Probably not on
the ballot. So where where does your vote get cast?
And how does one determine who is an independent when
considering who's going to be joining the collective that will

(02:30):
ultimately make up this committee that's going to decide where
the districts are divided. I don't know, it's it's crazy, folks. Anyway,
take a listen for yourself and you can decide. That's
what it's all about. Let us see here coming up
with the fifty five here see morning show. I request
for an additional twenty minutes from the former Vice mayor

(02:51):
of the City of Cincinnati. Yes, it's Monday, typically Christopher
Somemithim and joins a program at seven thirty. We're gonna
get him on at seven twenty today. Ask for additional time.
Don't know why. I'm sure he's to use it up. Well,
he always does. And Adam Kaylor is going to be
in studio eight oh five. We'll find out how the
race is looking for Adam. Don't see a whole lot,
but then again that's the commissioner. Race is real under

(03:14):
the radar kind of thing going on. So Adam will
be in studio, which I always appreciate Adam making the
effort to come on in. What is going on here? Well,
this is a good one. Consider my wife and I
as we typically do over the weekend when grocery shopping,
and I pay close attention to the price of groceries.
What is with the cost of groceries? So a few

(03:37):
items just stuck out me. It relates to this, this
this state of the American consumer and their perception of
where they are mostly negative middle income households. But my son,
who is sick, asked that we get him some cranberry juice.
A bottle of cranberry juice was eleven dollars. Oranges were

(04:03):
a dollar fifty apiece. And the other thing price to
ground beef seven dollars a pound. Just three things that
stuck out as we're walking around, going gee you Christmas
price groceries has gotten crazy. We had a very small
cart of groceries. It was two hundred and five dollars,
not a very large grocery purchase for us. That we're

(04:25):
just staring at it, going, I can't believe it's a
couple of one hundred dollars anyway. There's a new survey
on Prime America's first security monitor reached a release support
for the third quarter of this year, found fifty five
percent of middle income household now rate their personal financial
situation negatively, which is a jump of six points from
the prior quarter alone. In terms of the view of

(04:48):
the economy middle income households, it's dropped deteriorated to the
past two to three months significantly. A majority seventy three
percent say they have a negative view of the nation
economic health. That's up a point from the prior reading.
Seventy three percent wow. Thirty four percent unsure about the

(05:10):
economy's direction, which is an increase of fifteen percentage points
from just one quarter. They survey a households making between
thirty thousand and one hundred and thirty thousand annual that's
household income. Forty percent of upon respond in sideed inflation
as their top worry, up eight percent from the prior
quarterly survey. I guess they're going to the grocery store

(05:32):
as well. High inflation has created severe financial pressures for
most of US households, which are forced to pay more
for everyday necessities like oh look, food and rent. Lower
income houses, obviously far more impacted by this, have to
spend more of their small paychecks or limited resources on

(05:54):
just pure necessities and have less flexibility for well, non
necessary purchases, of course, and it's noted to save money
incapable of socking a little bit of a way to
help gain the benefit of that compound interest and prepare
for their own future down the road. So that is eradicated,
which of course means they're going to be more and
more and more reliant upon the limited amount of Social

(06:17):
Security they can expect to get. Credit Card debt also
a major concern for middle income families. Forty four percent
say they are more worried about their credit card debt
than they were a year ago, which is a nine
percent jump from just one quarter ago. So you know,
this doesn't shock me at all. Unfortunately, I'm not struggling.

(06:38):
But you know, you just go to the grocery store
and you can fully appreciate why well people are wondering
what the presidential candidates might do to that. So let's
turn over to Harris and Waltz. Now over the Univision interview.
You've probably seen a lot of that one. None of
it turned out real well for Kamala Harris, but one

(06:59):
Latina voters the vice president during a Univision town hall
battleground Nevada, what Kamala Harris would do so the cost
of living doesn't destroy the middle class that are grocery
bill has gone up one hundred dollars since Harrison Biden
took office. I come from the working class, Harris responded.

(07:20):
When you lose Saturday Night Live and you're a Democrat,
I think you got a problem on your hands. They
really the family feud. I don't even watch Saturday Night Live,
but was making the rounds on conservative media because they
really had a go at her pretty much. A quote
on Saturday Night Live from the person playing Kamala Harris
is the same quote that you made from Univision. What

(07:40):
are you going to do about the cost of living?
Straightforward question. I know it can be a complicated response,
but what is there coming from middle class family have
to do with anything. I come from a working class.
I'm never going to forget where I come from. This
is a response to the well believed Latino voter whose
grocery bill has gone through the roof. Part of what
we have to do is build what I call here.

(08:03):
It is again an opportunity economy where people have the
opportunity like you've described, for you to be able to
work hard and you and your five daughters have an
opportunity to do then what they and what you aspire
for them to be able to do. Close quote. Never

(08:25):
before have so many words been shoved into a sentence
revealing absolutely nothing by way of content or coherence. This
is what you get. Then she went to talk about
price gouging, which I think the vast majority of folks
is not going on to the grocery market business because
of course their margins are so small. Here is my plan.

(08:49):
It includes what we need to do to bring down
the cost of, for example, groceries. What are the issues
I'm going to tack going to be taking on? Is
price gouging?

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Hmm?

Speaker 2 (09:02):
I would love for her to come up with an
illustration or how she's figured out that someone is actually
engaged in price gouging. Specifically, is are the orange businesses?
And is there some problem with the crops of oranges?
I think there are, which may supply and demand limit
the number of oranges available, thus drive the price up.
Acquisition cost, shipping costs, everything else has gone up. Why

(09:23):
is an orange a dollar fifty? Are they gouging unfair
profit taking in the sale of oranges? Give me one
example that you can point to, where she can point,
where she can say definitively. This is why I think
price gouging and his issue is an issue price gouging.
If she believes it to be there, that means she's
going to engage in price fixing. Ask the Nixon administration

(09:44):
how well that went, Mike, I have to go back
a few years to see an illustration of well putting
a lid on randomly and arbitrarily the price of any
given good, even though market pressures and economic reality mean
that price would have to be more in order for
the seller of that good to make any money. Waltz

(10:09):
was asked on Friday, Good Morning America about this. Waltz
has asked why voters who blame Harris with skylight high
prices to trust her to bring the cost of living down. Quote.
We see some of the data, but that data doesn't
impact people in their daily lives. Going to the grocery
store and you see the see false information, whether it's

(10:32):
bird flew impacting eggs. But the reality for most people
is if those costs are up, they want to know
what you're going to do about it. He said, Let's
be candid about this there's price gouging. There is a
price gouging piece of this. He said, hmm, this is

(10:54):
the answer to say that there's price gouging without any
price gauging, any supportive information to believe that is the
only thing impacting the cost of groceries, for example, And
they say it without saying how they're going to address it. Okay,
you say there's price gouging, what are you going to

(11:15):
do about it? And how are you going to go
about it? I mean, last time I walked through Kroger
over the weekend, looked to me like there's tens of
thousands of different items for sale. Are all of them
being unnecessarily inflated? What is a fair profit for grocery
store since they're one of the businesses with the smallest
profit margin out there. The shipping costs and the waste

(11:39):
you know, you think of produce, Yeah, there's a lot
of waste in produce that's got to be dealt with.
Everything's expensive, this ship most notably you think about the
weight of liquids being shipped. That's a transportation cost for that.
Maybe that's why the cranberry juice was eleven dollars a bottle.
I don't know, but just to say price gouging without
any information supporting it's happening, without any plan to say

(12:01):
how you are going to deal with it sounds me like, well,
you're getting nothing by way of policy and response. And
of course it all comes out in this crazy word
solad crap that Kamala Harris spews out almost every single
day most I know. I'm overtime listen to this speaking
in the Koynonian Christian Center on Sunday, just yesterday, Greenville,

(12:26):
North Carolina, in times of crisis, and we're looking at
images of the aftermath of the hurricane. But it's easy
in these moments of crisis to sometimes question our faith,
to sometimes lose our faith for a moment because what
we see is so hard to see that we lose

(12:47):
faith or a vision of those things we cannot see
but must know close quote that hurt my head. Some
of the fun of your comments, Uh, Kamala Harris is
a fortune cookie stuffed inside of magic eight ball and

(13:08):
wrapped inside the horoscope page of your local newspaper. What
other person they actually put this on a teleprompter five
eighteen fifty five gear see the dog station.

Speaker 5 (13:20):
I'll be right back, hang in there, fifty five KRC
if you missed.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Her by twenty two and a happy Monday to you.
Five one, three, seven, eight hundred eighty two to three
talk time bout fifty on eighteen and ten phones. Maybe
because of her word salads, Maybe because she's incompetent, Maybe
because Tim Watz has got his own slate of problems
and they grow seemingly every single day. Got a couple

(13:47):
of new UH polls out Latino support described as catering
for Kamala Harris. Interesting, Donald Trump's gaining in Latino voters.
This is a New York Times, obviously a left leaning paper.
Siena College poll came out yesterday. Kamala Harris. Mass migration

(14:09):
is one of the problems, and it's a problem for
Latino voters. Cost Democrats support in the well growing voter
block that is Latino voters. Yes, there is a sizeable
increase in the Latino population, and not everybody's a lockstep Democrat.
In spite of the fact that Democrats black should believe
that was going to be the case. Underperforming the past

(14:29):
three Democrat candidates for the White House, Democrats still have
a substantial lead in Latino voters, but it's eroded, and
significantly given how close the last election was. Back in
twenty sixteen, Democrats had sixty eight percent of Latino vote
to twenty eight percent of the Republicans. Democrats in twenty
twenty had sixty two to Republicans thirty six. Now currently

(14:51):
polling at fifty six to the Republicans thirty seven percent.
But in this poll the New York Times Siena poll,
twenty two percent of likely Hispanic voters consider themselves Republican,
thirty eight consider themselves Democrat. I was shocked by that.
I thought the numbers would be rather well broader margin

(15:12):
than that that more Hispanics would consider themselves Democrat, twenty
five consider themselves independent. Now, according to the analysis from
the New York Times, the last Democrat to fall below
sixty percent and again right now, it's at fifty six
with Latina voters John Kerry, who lost in two thousand

(15:32):
and four, if you recall, but it was only ten
years ago, seventy percent of Latino voters backed Barack Obama,
and that, of course is a stark contrast to where
things stand right now with Latino voters and the New
York Times also appointed out that younger Latino voters are
twice as likely to say Trump's policies helped them versus
the current administration's policies, so they also can remember are

(15:55):
you better off four years ago or now? Black support
has been eroded as well. Democrats obviously typically had a
very lockstep mass majority of black voters. Hillary Clinton got
ninety two percent of the black vote in twenty sixteen,
Biden ninety percent in twenty twenty. The same poll in

(16:16):
New York Times Senate College poll, Harris seventy eight percent
among black voters. Black support for Trump has more than
doubled since twenty sixteen. Are black swell Republicans currently fifteen percent?
Now again not a sizeable number, but when you look
at the national race, and you look at some of

(16:37):
these swing state races, an erosion of five points ten
points in this case, fifteen percent can mean a sizeable
difference in the overall outcome. Poll noted the seventy five
percent of Black voters phil Harris would do a better
job of handling issues important to them than Trump, but
seventeen percent believe Trump would do a better job. That's
a lot higher than it was in the last election,

(17:00):
so two typically very very significant strongholds for Democrats eroding.
I guess they will looking at their own best interest
and deciding that No. I guess the narrative I've been
sold over the years that you know, for example, I'm black,
therefore I must be Democrat or I'm not black, thank you,

(17:21):
Joe Biden. People aren't buying that as much as they
used to anymore, and good for them. It's going to
be better for their lives their outcomes if they start
looking at things a lot more objectively than listening to
the din the messaging that's NonStop Black people must be Democrat.
Never have understood that. Five twenty six right now, got
local stories coming out. I prefer talking to you. If

(17:42):
you want to call in, I'll be right back.

Speaker 6 (17:44):
This is fifty five KARC and iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Is your financial advisor as active as your local stories.
Oh it's Monday and it's the five o'clock. I ar
giving a little bit of a break. Dust the cobwebs
out of my brain. Okay, sorry, it was a mistake,
Greg Lansman says regarding his stock trades, of course, raising

(18:12):
questions about what he knew and when he knew, violating
the Stock Act by not reporting his transactions within forty
five days. Congressional ethics rules require transactions be revealed within
forty five days. Thanks Scott Wartman the inquire reminding us
and reporting that some of stocks Landsman in Landsman's recently
received report or disclosed report were bought and sold as

(18:33):
far back as the very month he took office in
January twenty three, well outside of the forty five day window.
Lansman said he disclosed the stock trades as soon as
he knew about him So, Lansman's August transaction reboard showed
ninety one stock transactions and calendar year twenty three and

(18:54):
twenty four worth it a total of between two hundred
and three and one point six million dollars. Where Greg
get all his money? Joe you know? Oh, by the way,
Happy birthday, Joe, late birthday, Joe's birthday ever the weekend anyway?
All of them part of either fun he has with
Rockefeller Capital Management or part of his wife, Sarah. Landsman's
individual retirement account. Investments include interesting selection here, Apple, Microsoft,

(19:22):
Black Rock, Eli, Lilly, a pharmaceutical company, as well as
Exxon Mobile. Kind of negating his corporate street cred there
that one. Anyway, they nothing's really going to happen to him.
Of course, Todd Zenser filed a complaint with the Congressional

(19:43):
Ethics Department over these failed faire to report this as
required by the Stock Act. But as it's reported, the
stakes pretty low and probably won't result in anything. Each
violation of the Stock Act carries a two hundred dollars fine.
No member of Congress has ever had to pay it,

(20:03):
since no Stock Act violation charges have ever been prosecuted.
So they enact a law to provide some measure of
credibility so we'd know how they are being potentially influenced
by their investments and how they vote.

Speaker 7 (20:16):
Hmm.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
But the law carries with it no real teeth, so
obviously it's not frightening for members elected officials to perhaps
ignore it for almost two years. Saint Savior High School
teacher was fired after the school became aware of what
they describe as a possible boundary violation. Their words, that

(20:37):
boundary violation with a student. According to the school confirmation
on Friday morning, speaking with the end enquires Madeline Mitchell,
the care of these students and family remains. The school
stop wriety during this most difficult time course Saint Savior
High School see here Infinnytown a court to Springfield police.
They say the school notified investigators Wednesday about a possible

(20:59):
inappropriate condact and communication involving staff member and a student.
Farmer reported that officers were actively working to determine if
a crime had been committed. School officials say the employee
who was terminated is instructed not to contact any of
the school's students, faculty, or staff. Three people, including a juvenile,

(21:21):
hospitalized Saturday afternoon in a shooting Mount area. According Cincinnati Police,
the shooting took place at quarter to three in the
afternoon the intersection of Shadiness lay in a Richueal Court.
Police said after the they believe three victims were in
a Black Afford Focus when the shooting happened. Since a
police officers, one victim was grazed in the head, one

(21:42):
was shot in the stomach, the other was shot in
the thigh. Officer didn't specify which victims sustained what injuries,
but all three have in their words, serious injuries but
are stable. Two of the victims taking a UC medical center.
The juvenile transported to Children's Hospital. Medical police had not
said if they have any suspects of shootings. I suspect
if you have any information about that, police would love

(22:04):
to hear from your crime stoppers the number three five
two thirty forty. We have another shooting. Man hospitalized yesterday
morning after shooting in East Price Hill took place in
the one thousand block of Woodlawn Avenue about nine am.
Please said a man was taken to the hospital. The
gunshot women to the stomach. No suspects had been taken

(22:24):
into custody. Police don't know if they've identified the shooter.
That's an interesting way of phrasing that investigation is ongoing.
And again three five two thirty forty, if you have
anything about that. One and one more victim of a
fatal shooting in Avondel's now an identified. Police officers responded
reports of shooting the eight hundred block of Hutchins Avenue

(22:45):
Saturday night about nine pm, making a man take in
a UC medical center, where he was pronounced dead. In
the release is since I police identified the victim as
a forty eight year old at del Rico Hill. Don't
know what led to the shooting. At this time. The
investigator again is ongoing and one more time for a
crime stoppers three five two thirty forty You got any information,

(23:07):
drop a dime you do an everybody a big favor
on that one. Stick around, got a big stack of
stupid to dive on into. Of course, if you want
to call, feel free, I'd love to take your calls
right back.

Oregon police discovered drugs Let us see here, including buys,
multiple plastic bags of drugs, a little revolver pistol, stack

(24:55):
of cash, two scales, all found in a pouch labeled
quote definitely not a bag full of drugs close quotes.
Items allegedly found in a car driven by a woman
named Mia Rochelle Baggin's toast sounds like something from a

(25:19):
Tolkien novel, doesn't it? Anyway? Thirty seven years old, as
well as Reginald Lamont Reynold, he was thirty five. According
to the local news, They noted that the drugs were
fentanyl and methan fetamine and mounting to over ten grams.
Para pulled over in Southeast one twenty second Division on
Tuesday night after police noticed the allegedly stolen car. Both

(25:41):
Reynolds and Baggin's toasts booked on charges of delivering methan fetamine,
unlawful possession of methn fetamine, unauthorized use of a vehicle,
in possession of a stolen vehicle. Prosecutors reportedly indicated they
wouldn't bring charges against the woman. No explanation as to
why charges won't be brought. Definitely not a bag full

(26:02):
of drugs. No red flag there. What is described as
an eye opening new study. You might be grossed out
over this one northwtte information you need to know. The
Northwestern University researchers uncovered more than six hundred different viruses

(26:23):
on everyday items like shower heads and toothbrushes. From ninety
two showerhead and thirty four toothbrush samples, researchers found that
each one was teeming with unique mix of viruses. Quote.
The number of viruses that we found is absolutely wild.
That's a quote from Erica Hartman, and indoor microbiologist who

(26:44):
led the study. Thank you, Joe. I was waiting for
the moment that you were going to hit that SoundBite.
Despite the startling discovery, there are apparently is some good news.
Most of the viruses keyword most were bacteria fages, which
are viruses that infect and destroyed bacteria rather than harm humans.
Hartman and the team noted that the skeptical Joe is

(27:08):
no doctor Fauci was not involved in this study. Joe.
Most of the team noted that these microbacteriofages, which specifically
target microbacteria, that is, bacteria responsible for diseases like tuberculosis
and leprosy, we're among those common samples. Explained that these

(27:30):
viruses could potentially offer a benefit. We can envision using
microbacterioflages to clean pathogens out of plumbing systems, raising the
possibility of leveraging the natural occurring viruses for some sanitation purposes.
Research published in Frontiers in Microbiomes. Jostrekker no longer gets
the hard copy of that one. It's pure electronic build

(27:52):
on earlier findings from her team, including a study on
well Operation potty Mouth, which determine that most of the
microbes found on toothbrushes actually come from the user's mouth
rather than from airborne particles released by flushing the toilet.
Hartman says she wanted to reassure the public that most

(28:13):
of these microbes pose no threat to our health, in fact,
arguing that an over reliance on antimicrobial products could lead
to more harm than good. The more you attack them
with disinfectants, the more they are likely to develop resistance. Okay.
She recommends regularly cleaning shower heads with soap and water
or soaking them in vinegar to prevent calcium build up.

(28:36):
Regarding toothbrushes, she says replace electric toothbrush heads regularly, but
don't obsess over anti microbial gimmicks. Microbes part of everyday life,
she said, Rather than fearing them, we should all just
embrace them, all six hundred different ones. That sounds horrific,
doesn't it.

Speaker 9 (29:01):
Now.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
I don't think quitting showers and stop brushing teeth is
the right way to go, Joe. I'm gonna just suggesting
not go down that road.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
Oh, don't make the rules, ma'am, I think down.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
And since they did mention Joe had a birthday over
the weekend, thank you, mister Tuba. I looked up and
I saw mister Tuba was calling Joe's strecker and he
didn't put him on hold. I said, Joe, is mister
Tuba playing a happy birthday to you? And he's nodded
his head. So well done, mister Tuba. I think he
calls like three hundred and fifty people annually and does
his little Tuba happy birthday message, which is a very

(29:34):
nice thing. Good guy he is. And somebody who shows
up a listener to lunch regularly. Speaking of a listener
of lunch after the election, it's the day after the election.
We are going to have listener lunch at Ron's Roost
on the West Side the day after the election. I
know that may be tough for some people to make,
especially folks who are going to be staring at the
screen all night waiting for the returns to come in.
I don't even know if we're going to have a

(29:55):
definitive result the next day. Considering all the shenanigans are
going on, We've obviously got logistical problems in the states
that were hit by hurricanes. We're not quite sure how
they're going to resolve that. But we're still having listener
lunch a day after the election, and I hope we
are in a celebratory mood. I was telling people of
the last listener lunch that if we're not in a
celebratory mood, I think I'll just sit at the bar

(30:16):
and down shots or something. Anyway, you can mark it
on your calendar if you're interested in ron Z Rust
the day after election day five forty five more stupid
coming up if you want to stick around for that.
But first, Emory Federal Credit Union. I love banking with Emory.

Eppy Monday. Back to the Stacker stupiod where we have
idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots or rap stars
as the case may be. Never heard of him, doesn't matter.
Rapper Dan, Sir Joe, were you familiar with this guy?

(32:40):
I know you're not here.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
No buddy care exactly.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Snuffers rap music that he's making with the news it's
for his look apparently, as the reporting from Yahoo says,
he has got one point nine million so called followers
on TikTok and he's been gaining attention for his gold
chains that he in play ented directly into his skull.

(33:03):
Why are you doing that? No blank an idea quote.
I have it as a hook that's implanted in my head,
and that hook has hooks, and they are all hooked
in my skull under my skin. This is my hair,
golden hair, the first rapper to have gold hair implanted
in human history. Idiots doing idiots, idiots. Apparently people don't

(33:27):
believe it it's real. So he's gone on TikTok on
multiple occasions to prove that his chains are in fact real.
In one post, he seeks to disprove the chains are
plastic by showing that they don't float in a glass
of water.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Whatever.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
According to a plastic surgeon, doctor Frank Aguilla, who was
interviewed about this and whether it's a good idea to
do or not, No, don't do it. It carries a
man's risk, he said, implants like this are not safe.
They introduce an easy path or bacteria between the outside
world and the internal body. Going back to our toothbrush
article Joe, in this case the bone covering the brain.

(34:06):
In addition, I am concerned about the amount of weight
these hooks are supporting. The weight of the weight or
any incidental tug on a band of gold caused the
implant to dislodge and even fracture the skull, and if
he removes the chains, well, he still has hooks sticking
out of his head. The doctor said, hygiene, even sleeping
can become challenging. Dermatologist doctor Monagahara, also talking with Yahoo,

(34:35):
I would imagine that one could take out the hooks,
but not without risk of permanent scarring or scalp inflammation.
One might even experience permanent hair loss from damage to
the follicle. She also said, I would strongly discourage anyone
from undergoing this procedure for all the risks and complications involved,
especially at a young age. Long term consequences need to

(34:56):
be considered. I think there are more sensible and easily
reversible alternatives, like wearing a wig with gold jains. I
don't believe that it needs to be anchored to your skull.
Question why does anyone need blank and gold hair in
the first place? What's the point? What message are you
trying to send? H Yes, Eric, and someone could yank

(35:22):
on them and yank them out of the skull, maybe
some random dude, maybe on the dance floor at the club.
It's a good point. Thanks Eric, and more social influencers
dying we have someone who's described as a daredevil British

(35:42):
influencer now dead after falling from Spain's highest bridge during
an attempted social media stunt. Apparently, this guy, described as
a digital creator, was twenty six years old plunged from
the two hundred and thirty foot Castillo launch A bridge
which stands over the Targets River south of Madrid. The

(36:06):
bridge said to have been with a twenty four year
old companion when he fell to his death. Let us
see police as well as local firefighters rushed the scene
of paramedics, but there was nothing they could do to
save him. Footage from the scene the tragedy shows police
quartering off the area near where he fell. The council
there confirmed the death and a statement saying local officials

(36:27):
have long made clear that climbing the bridge is totally
banned and cannot be done under any circumstances. Well, therean
lies the challenge right. Councilor for Citizens Security Amr Serrina Munios,
has confirmed the death of the young man after he
fell from the bridge. He was twenty six yearld Englishman
and fel while climbing the bridge. Someone with the councilors
made the clear totally prohibited, and they reiterated on neumerous

(36:50):
occasions it cannot be done under any circumstances. National police
and firefighters and an emergency ambulance were sent there, but
again nothing they could do. Widely considered a waste of
money by a local national media, but it was built
and has carried little traffic, often referred to as the
bridge to Nowhere. A year ago, local police reported a

(37:13):
couple of bloggers climbed it without any protection, then posted
videos and of course this had to be done again.
I just think it's funny, They noted, they don't even
know his name, but he is a British social media influencer,
not apparently a very good one.

Speaker 5 (37:31):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
And finally, staff members at a primary school in Texas
placed on leave after putting so called sleeping stickers on
preschoolers during a nap. Allegations came to light last in
September after one of the children came home from school
the sticker to show her mom. That sticker on the
shape of a square with rounded edges, pale purple background,
and a glow in the dark looking design of a

(37:52):
crescent moon along the starry night, two clouds passing by
parents say this suspensions of the various employees allegedly responsible
are not enough. They weren't criminal charges filed. School officials
say their own law enforcement apparatus. Now in the case,
four year old girl was the impetus for the ensuing scandal.
Child's mom speaking with local news, she said, it's a
sleeping sticker. That's what the mom learned. I asked where

(38:13):
did you get it, and she said, my teacher gives
it to me for sleeping time. First, mom said her
daughter told the children on the same preschool class received
the same sticker. Next day, we went to school, she said,
talking to the news outlet. We brought the evidence up
here and we filled a report. We didn't say we
wanted to file criminal charges. If this is something that
is true. Sticker makes me fall asleep, the child said, hmmm.

(38:38):
No criminal investigation was being conducted after weeks. Even more distressing,
no other parents at the elementary school been notified about
these sleeping stickers. Active ingredient in the sticker melatonin and
over the counter dietary supplement commonly used as a sleep
aid supplement, generally intended for adults. Currently unclear whether melitonin
supplements are safe for children a Mayo clinic. So they

(39:03):
have drug laced melowtonin lace stickers and they stick them
on the heads of the kids and apparently that causes
them to fall asleep. Nothing to see here. Who is
in charge of your children or who are the people
in charge of your children? And do they have your
children's best interest at stake? Coming up at five fifty seven,
stick around, be right back, plenty more to talk about.

Speaker 1 (39:24):

I always enjoy talking with Christophers. With them, today's asked

Are County Commissioner candidate, going to be in studio eighth five.
How's the race going, how things looking, his ideas and

some support behind Adam as we end the following few
weeks before we hit the hit election day again. Quick reminder,

(40:22):
we're going to be at Ron's Rus the day after
the election for the next care see Listener Lunch. Just
heard from cribbage Mike, my submarine or friend who's looking
forward to it. He said, that's the last time I won.
The last Listener Lunch at Ronz Rus was the last
time I actually beat him at cribbage. And you can
count on one hand less two fingers the number of
times have actually won. I just always enjoy playing the

(40:43):
game with him though he's a good man, and really
enjoy our fellowship. I enjoy everybody's fellowship at Listener Lunch.
So market dude, Ron's Rustlet I see here. Border Patrol
unanimously endorsed Donald Trump put another feather in his cap.
The Official Union of the US Border Patrol announced the
full support of Donald Trump at a rally in Prescott

(41:03):
on Sunday yesterday. He said he was honored to receive
the endorsement Trump did called a great honor, apparently unanimous.
You then invite to Paul Prez, the president of the
National Border Control Council, onto the stage with him. Press
said it was a message for everyone in the crowd.
If we allow borders are Harris to win this election,
every city, every community in this great country is going

(41:24):
to go to hell, said pres But I'm to say
the untold millions of people unvetted who she has allowed
into this country that are committing murders, rapes, robberies, burglaries,
and every other crime will continue to put our country
in peril. One man can fix that. That is Donald Trump.
He has always stood with the men and women who
protect the border, who put their lives on the line

(41:45):
for the country. Press said on behalf of the sixteen
thousand men and women represented by the National Border Patrol Council,
we strongly support Inodorris Donald J. Trump, the President of
the United States of America. So not shocking me or
patrol agents. Appreciate what they're doing and believe their job
is a very valuable one, protecting the interior of our

(42:06):
country from evildoers if you have an opportunity, I believe
it was. Fox News did a multi page breakdown article
caption Migrant crime waive during Biden Harris administration under scrutiny
amid series of assaults, murders, a timeline and they go
all the way back to twenty twenty two and each
year and the list of crimes and the description of

(42:27):
the crimes committed by illegal immigrants, most notably against children,
is absolutely horrific. Then everybody commits crime. No, everyone doesn't
commit crime. And if you can keep a certain segment
of the people out of our country because they're not
allowed to be here in the first place, you don't
run the risk of those people coming into our country
and committing crimes. Noting, as it's been widely reported, many

(42:49):
of the countries from far and wide that are sending
people to the southern border and maybe even the northern border,
are just emptying their prisons out and getting rid of
all their bad people. It reduces their cost of doing business.
Those various countries. We have x numbers of millions of
dollars we pay a year to keep these people in prison.
What if we just unload these people into the United States.
They're not stopping anybody from a crossing the border. Solution

(43:13):
happened many times in the past, and the results overwhelming
school districts. Daily Caller reported on this one regarding what's
going on in Pennsylvania. A massive influx of non English
speaking students is overwhelming the school districts. The number of
English language learners that's ell in school districts in Pennsylvania

(43:34):
surged forty percent since twenty twenty one. This obviously forces
the public schools to allocate a whole lot more cash
to meet the needs of these students. The English is
not a language. I don't know if you can call
it a secondary language. He's the folks who don't speak English.
Records collected by the DCNF Daily Calor News Foundation show

(43:59):
a staggering increase of English learner students and obviously these
swelling costs that go along with that problem is twofold.
According to Joan Cullen, serves as president of the Penridge
School Board, or formerly did said, you're obviously the financial issue.
You have the financial issue, but the issues of where
to get the person l in order to provide these
services to the students as we have an influx of

(44:19):
them coming into the school districts. Right, and remember this
isn't just one language. It's not everybody coming across the
border speaks say Chinese, and they would need Chinese to
English translators and people who could be effectively teaching them
how to well make English a primary or at least
secondary language. These are folks that speak multiple languages because

(44:40):
they come from the four corners of the globe. How
are you going to find enough translators in one school district,
let alone all of the thousands of various school districts
we've got across the state. A total of seventy one thousand,
seven hundred and sixty six of these ell students English
Language learners, which were our specialized education in learning English

(45:03):
as a second language that would be the During the
twenty twenty twenty one school year, the number jumped from
seventy one thousand, seventy seven hundred and sixty six to
ninety nine thousand, eight hundred and ninety nine for the
twenty twenty three twenty four school year, a forty percent
jump in just three years. They say out of Pennsylvania

(45:25):
five hundred school district the review of the records identified
that sixty two experienced a one hundred percent increase of
non English language students between twenty one and twenty four.
Another sixty eight districts experience and increase of at least
fifty percent. City has made the news of late Charleroy

(45:46):
Area School District. It's been a total of one hundred
and five thousand on English learners in twenty twenty one
school year. That number is now five hundred and five
thousand for the twenty four to twenty five school year.
Similar to what's happened in Springfield, Charloi is percentage of
elementary school students requiring English language classes in the low

(46:06):
single digits only a few years ago. Now that figure
has reached thirty five percent, according to research by The
New York Times. And it's you know, the thing is,
this is almost overnight. How do you ramp up the
number of employees to treat teach these English language learning
students in such a short period of time. Where does

(46:27):
the money come from? As for Charleroi had seen more
than eleven hundred percent one percent increased in the number
of English learners since twenty twenty one. Eighteen learners in
the city's school district in the twenty twenty one school
year that is now two hundred and twenty three for

(46:48):
the current school year. Not a very big city, they say.
The vast majority of those English learners there are Haitian
Creole speakers. Do you know anybody that speaks Haitian Creole
not a predominant language, reflecting the problem with finding people
who can do the translating and the teaching. Not the

(47:10):
only Pennsylvania community, Charleroi that's having a problem with this.
The Shaller Area School District had a four hundred and
sixty six percent increase in the EL population over three years.
In the Schipvenburg's Area School District, the number of EL
students at the same time rose from forty six to
one hundred and seventy five. That's a two hundred and
eighty percent increase, And again these are not big school districts.

(47:36):
The largest district in the state, Philadelphia School District one,
from sixteen thousand, five hundred and thirty of these students
to twenty two thousand, three hundred and thirty seven over
the same period, an increase of nearly seven thousand non
English speaking students in a mere three years. Public records

(48:02):
requests the DCN afterview the English learner expenses of sixteen
school districts. On average, the additional cost three thousand, four
hundred and eighty three dollars per student, and based on
this average, the estimate of the influx of students could
be costing taxpayers over ninety seven million dollars each year.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
And I note that we do have a whole bunch
of tax levies on the ballot for this fall. Lots
of local school districts struggling. Some want to build buildings,
some are just trying to keep just tread water and
stay where they are. You're gonna have a choice whether
you want to give the school districts additional money. But
I'm just going to tell you right now, I do
not believe that the state of Ohio and the local
school districts are immune from this English language learner problem.

(48:47):
It's just not widely reported here, I guess, because the
statistics aren't nearly as bad as the ones that have
been revealed in this report regarding Pennsylvania schools. But just
one little, you know, snapshot of one area of our
economy and one critically important area, because the more resources
are spent just to get the children to know English

(49:09):
so they can learn the materials, that means less resources
focused on teaching United States citizens corp learning functions like well, reading, writing,
and arithmetic. The other the thing they pointed out in
the article, the unique problem with this influx is that

(49:32):
many of the English language learners enroll and then leave
within the academic year, leaving the school districts with funds
allocated to English learners well wasted, and the ell staff
on payroll and no longer needed at least for some
percentage of the kids who sign up for the school
district in the school year and then just take off,

(49:53):
probably to some unknown destination not tracked by our government,
which worries me because we you know, there's a huge
problem with human trafficking as a consequence of the open

Hang on, buddy, you don't mind holding for a moment,
I'll get your call. And at first I want to
strongly recommend getting in touch with Fast and Pro Roofing
for the free roof inspection as a do it before wintertime.

(50:15):
Why not, because you know wintertime ice dams can be
a problem, and if your gutters are all clogged up,
that's going to really exacerbate the problem. So you can
rely on fast and protein not only get those gutters clean,
but also installed gutter guards or maybe get brand new
gutters all around the house. They do everything when it
comes to roofing work, and they do a better job
than anybody. I can't imagine better more professional roofers and

(50:37):
a more honest roofing company you cannot find. They are
truly one hundred percent honest, never trying to say anything
you do not need, so call for the free inspection.
The best thing can happen. They come down off the
roof and Nope, nothing's wrong, and give you an idea
how much life your roof has left in it. Beyond that, though,
if there is a quote, it's going to be a great, great,
appropriately priced quote. Fair and ethical, of course it will be,

(50:59):
and you will be impressed with the work. They take
great care of you your home and they'll leave the

Speaker 10 (51:41):
Hello, Brian, how are you today? You're doing sounds like
you're doing great.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
I'm hanging in there. My friend is supposed to get
additional results on the status of my lymphoma and that
it looks like it's still what they call low grade.
But I am having more and more symptoms last week.
I woke up this morning night sweats, what a pain
in the butt, and they're getting worse. So I know
it's my lymphoma's back. There's no question about that. It's
just a question of what my treatment's going to be.

(52:07):
So maybe I'll find out today or tomorrow, but I
appreciate it. Thanks for asking. I know a lot of
people have been asking, so God bless each and every
one of you for the inquiry. What's on your mind today?
My friend?

Speaker 10 (52:17):
Hey, a lot of people I work with. I work
with India, African, a couple other different nationalities. I can't
even telling how to say. So what I did is
I started setting them up with John Denver Sonny and
Share on YouTube and let them listen to that and

(52:41):
give them different fans to listen to. And it's working.
It's amazing how well they're picking up the language.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Just from listening to music.

Speaker 10 (52:53):
Music is the answer. Yeah, John Denver is the key one,
and then the Beatles. I hope them up with all
kinds of different ones. I've done it to about eight
of them there, and I've talked about six of them,
and they like the music. They listen to it. I
understand them better. They're doing it with their kids and
their friends. So you know, the seventies music is going

(53:16):
to be rocking back.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
It works, man, Okay, okay, I am not arguing with you, Bill,
but here I am. I'm thinking of myself, all right.
PLoP me down in China or Russia or pick a country.
I don't know the language. I mean, you could throw
me in Germany, and even though I took five hours
Germany and Germany and college, I would struggle mightily. But
if I started listening to their music, you know, contextually,

(53:41):
what are they talking about? You know, I got you, babe,
I got you. But what does that mean? When you're
hearing that language and you don't understand it, Go ahead.

Speaker 10 (53:50):
Right, But it's making you say the words better?

Speaker 1 (53:53):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (53:54):
It's like it's like when I tell them turn on
talk radio, listen to this station fifty five KRC, and
try to say some of the words that the man
says back to you, like weather and traffic on the.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
On the ten.

Speaker 10 (54:10):
Yeah, you know, sy say anything you can keep repeating
and you know it'll work. And and by gosh, there's
probably about four of them that are really figuring it up.
They're getting interested in their friends, and I, you know,
I have to say they're good citizens. I mean, I
don't know they're trying at least, but you know, bring

(54:33):
back the seventies music because it's uh, it's out there
for him. And that's what the teachers probably need to
use with all the school kids, you know, just use
some kind of easy listening to language and uh, you know,
and work for.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
And and I suppose musicians and bands that actually articulate
the words clearly so they can be understood. Sure that is,
Let's Zepplin for example, would not be a good man
to turn them onto in terms of, you know, articulating
the world.

Speaker 10 (55:03):
I tried to tell them about PAINK Floyd, but that
didn't work.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
Keep trying. Oh, maybe scare up step over to tool
you know that. I don't know if that'll work either,
but at least it's good music that's hilarious. But I
appreciate the effort. And I suppose every little bit counts.
If you're getting English language instructions someplace, you can supplement
that with that brilliant idea about just listening to music
pick your own era. Although I would agree that based

(55:30):
on my conversation last week with David Chudwyin on his
book The Magical Decades sixty five to seventy five, if
you notice they still play a whole lot of music
from that particular era, a whole lot why, I guess
sound like my dad and everybody else's parent because all
the new music sucks. Teller Swift six twenty five. If

ever had to pay the fine, since no Stock Act

(59:59):
viol relation charges have ever been prosecuted. That's according to
the vice president, general counsel and senior director of the Washington,
TC based watchdog group Campaign Legal Center, which advocates for
an absolute outright ban on congressional stock trading. Interestingly enough,

(01:00:19):
they got shenanigans going over Xavier High School, where a
teacher fired after the school became aware of what they
described as a possible boundary violation with a student. Courting
the school's confirmation on Friday to The Enquirer, the care
of the student and his family remained the school's top
priority during this most difficult time. Courting to the school's
official statement, let's see here, Springfield Township Police said the

(01:00:40):
school notified investigators last Wednesday about possible inappropriate contact and
communication involving a staff member and a student. Department report
of the officers actively working to determine if a crime
has been committed in school, officials said the employee who
was terminated is instructed not to contact any of the school, students,
faculty or staff. Three people including a juvenile hospitalized Saturday

(01:01:04):
and off shooting. It happened in mount Airy corna since
a police shooting took place about quarter to three in
the afternoon at Shady Miss Lane in Richwell Court. CPD
said the police believe three victims were in a black
Ford focus when it happened. Victim grazed in the head,
one of them was one was shot in the stomach,
the other shot in the thigh. They called the injury

(01:01:26):
serious but stable. Two of the victims taking a UC
medical center. Of the juvenile taking this since a children's
Police have not said if they have any suspects in
the shooting. I should. I'm sure Crime Stoppers again would
love to be hearing from you if you have a
tip that could lead to an arrest. Three five, two

Speaker 2 (01:04:11):
Happy Monday. Moving away from whatever I was talking about
to something else I wasn't talking about. The market manipulation
the government engages in is really really crazy. Trying to
get you to do something you don't want to do,
has some absolutely outrageous outcomes. And of course, you know,

(01:04:32):
I don't like electric vehicles for a whole host of reasons,
most notably they don't really do anything to protect the environment,
and they also bolster the Chinese Communist Party. But moving
away from that, the manipulation offering dangling carrots from the
federal government basically tax payer dollars to try to get
you to buy something you otherwise wouldn't buy, and it's

(01:04:52):
causing a problem for resale values of electric vehicles, which
have dropped dramatically in prices. Dealer lots full of unsold
brand new electric vehicles. You don't want them. Under the
Biden Harris administration rules these that you're gonna end up
having to buy them. The dealers have to sell like

(01:05:13):
two electric vehicles for every one in turtle combustion engine
engine they sell, and that means that the well, they're
not able to achieve their goals because you go in
you don't want to buy one of the electric vehicles,
meaning they're dropping the prices a whole lot more on
new electric vehicles. Everybody's around slashing prices on the new

(01:05:33):
models in an effort to sell them. Discounts on new
evs have helped prop up the flagging sales, but this
massive amount of discounts has caused the prices for pre
owned electric vehicles to drop substantially as well. Apparently, in September,
the average selling price of a three year old EV

(01:05:53):
twenty eight dollars less than that of a gas engine
vehicle of the same age. And I have familiarity with
this because, as I mentioned a moment a few moments ago,
my daughter had a deer jump out in front of
her little Mazda and it totaled the car. I mean
it was not her fault. No one's holding her blame.
She was insided driving her down the road mining her
own business on a rural road, and a deer literally

(01:06:15):
committed suicide on her car. And she said, was in
that thing, and thank god she was not harmed, but
it was did enough damage to damage it. Guess what
my daughter is now in the market for a new car,
Not any brand new car, but the replacement car. She's
looking at used cars thinking they're going to be a
better valuating Lord Almighty, the used car internal combustion engine
market is outrageous, really expensive. Why because the demand is

(01:06:38):
there for them. People want an internal combustion engine car.
It's supplying to man limited number out there. The prices
go up, duh. Anyway, the EV's got a twenty five
percent drop from the start of twenty twenty three. The
sharp fall in the price of pre owned EV's stands

(01:06:59):
in car contrast to the broader used car market, where yes,
internal combustion engine cars are really expensive used. In fact,
I did a comparison of a couple of the different models.
She was looking at a used vehicle in her category
market just a couple thousand dollars less than a brand
new one off the lot, And of course, people who

(01:07:22):
paid a premium for the evs before the prices started
dropping are underwater on what they owe, creating a bit
of a problem for them financially. Within the past year,
the average list price for you used Tesla Model three
and Model Y, apparently the most popular models, dropped twenty
five percent, but buyer interest in evs is subsiding. Automakers

(01:07:45):
now becoming more aggressive with promoting the new models, making
the new models as affordable as the used electric vehicle market.
Some brands lowering payments on new evs, applying the seventy
five hundred dollars tax credit directly to least electric vehicles. Consequently,

(01:08:05):
the monthly payment for an EV has fallen from about
nine hundred and fifty bucks last year at the beginning
to about five hundred and eighty two dollars in August
of this year. According to Edmonds, that means it's compartable
to what one would pay every month on a loan
for a well used EV, which is about twenty eight
thousand dollars. Would you rather have a brand new one
with the payment of five eighty two or a used

(01:08:27):
EV with a payment of five eighty two. That's the point.
The answer is no, I'll buy the new one rather
than the used one, meaning the price of used EV's
is dropping even more. New federal tax credit is also
in place market manipulation for used EV purchases. It's four
thousand dollars, but it only applies to electric cars selling

(01:08:48):
for under twenty five thousand dollars, forcing dealers to write
cut the price of the used EV to allow people
to qualify for the four thousand dollars tax credit. Manipulate here,
manipulate there, manipulate, manipulate everywhere. Edmund's study of EV trade
in value showed that in August, owners on average ode

(01:09:09):
about ten thousand dollars more than the car was worth.
And the rise in electric car leasing going back to
that tax credit being rolled into a lease deal seventy
five hundred dollars. They say it's poorting out the obvious
longer term implifications. Car gurus Kevin Roberts, he's the head
of the industry Industry Insights that car Gurus, quote by

(01:09:32):
The Wall Street Journal, said well, there's no positive way
to put this. The problem is those leased vehicles are
coming back because well, if you lease them two to
three year lease term, they're all going to end up
bringing coming back into the dealers, putting more downward pressure
on prices. So it's a lose lose situation here. And

(01:09:58):
the only reason apparently this is I having some little
bit of impact on people's desire to buy an IV
because there's so much free money flowing into them. People
are like, ah, well, I'll go ahead and give it
a shot, and they find out what it's like in
the winter time trying to hold a charge on that thing,
and then maybe you know, they'll get an internal combustion
engine next time around. Don't know. But all of this
brought about by manipulation, forcing you to do something you

(01:10:20):
don't want to do, forcing on you a product that
you do not want, and trying to make it more
appealing by well throwing your next door neighbors hard earned
tax dollars at the problem. Six forty seven fifty five

Dot Com fifty five KRC Deep one.

Speaker 2 (01:11:47):
If you've got KRCD talk station, I'm very happy Monday
to you. Yeah. Sticking with electric vehicles and going back
to the problems that school districts are facing around this country,
dealing with the English language learners, in other words, of
who do not even have English as a second language,
trying to well learn in schools when they don't speak English.
That's causing a huge financial problem for schools. I don't

(01:12:09):
go back over the details on that, but that's a fact.
So why are we going to stuff them in electric
school buses which cost three hundred and seventy five thousand
dollars apiece, double that of traditional diesel buses and only
go about one hundred and fifty miles at charge. That
is in warm weather, don't go even that far when
it's cold out. Thank you Kamala Harris and the Biden administration.

(01:12:32):
She pushed this, the five billion dollar grant program. There'll
be your tax dollars for the purpose of electrifying the
nation's school buses, champion by Kamala Harris while she was
senator and then his vice president. So she owns this
one to a certain degree. Debt inspiring five billion dollar grant,

(01:12:53):
providing Well schools with something that they don't want. Critics
call it a waste of money. They'll be me included
highest price tag and also the difficulties of getting vehicles
into service. So far, three billion dollars in grants of
rebates have been awarded. That's enough to buy eight thousand
electric buses. Less than a third of that number have

(01:13:14):
actually made it onto the road. Electric buses now make
up a whopping one percent of the country's fleet of
four hundred and eighty thousand school buses. Do the math
on that four hundred and eighty thousand times three hundred
and seventy five thousand, you get the price tag to
convert them all to electric. Manufacturers estimate the electric buses

(01:13:35):
well aren't fit for about ten percent of school bus
route has pointed out before, the typical electric bus goes
about one hundred and forty miles before running out of
battery power, a lot less than the diesel range, reducing
it in cold weather, that's less than one hundred and
forty one hundred and forty miles. One school district quote
and the reporting on this by the Wall Street Journal

(01:13:55):
talking about how they were worried and believe Virginia, fancy
Gap Virginia. It gets awfully cold, and there's some very
mountainous roads, and they were wondering on the first run
whether the bus would actually even make it. They all
breathed the sigh relief when they actually were able to
complete the route. A total of fifty five percent of

(01:14:15):
school a fifty five school district thirteen percent of the
total school districts withdrew from the program. Didn't want to
be a part of it, obviously because of the challenge
is presented the infrastructure for charging that hasn't been put
in place either. So congratulations, school district, here's your new bus.
Where are you gonna charge it? Don't now? According to

(01:14:37):
the reporting, Again, the EPA funds and settlement money from
Volkswagen diesel emission scandal help fund this. Officials, though, waited
another year to build out charging stations. More than fifty
buses still on the way to North Carolina to the
Charlotte Mecklenburg schools. So you go after an ic email,

(01:15:00):
manufacturers sue them for reporting we misreporting there in mission standards.
You get a massive settlement and then they put the
money toward buses that you don't necessarily want oh Steezeothough Steve,
Welcome to the program, and happy Monday to you. Thanks
for calling.

Speaker 9 (01:15:18):
Hey, Brian, first of all, best of luck with your health.
I hope all as well. I'm sure it will be appreciate.
Hopefully you can hopefully you can hear me.

Speaker 11 (01:15:25):
Okay, I'm hands free on I two seventy five and
not the two seventy five at Cincinnati, but the one
hitting into Tampa home got hit not once but twice
by hurricanes.

Speaker 9 (01:15:36):
In two weeks, we will know a home.

Speaker 11 (01:15:39):
You know, eventual retirement place right down here in the
heart of it all, Saint Petersburg, Saint Pete Beach, Matheira Beach,
Treasure Island area. So we had water damage on the
first one, and then I think we are very fortunate
all note about an hour as far as wind damage,
A lot of other people weren't.

Speaker 9 (01:15:57):
But just first first and on the.

Speaker 11 (01:16:00):
Ground versus what you see on mainstream media requirement regarding
like SEMA. You know, on TV, you see SEMA. They're here,
they're helping, you know, their throwing trash away. They're wearing
FEMA windbreakers and hats.

Speaker 9 (01:16:12):
Definitely not the case.

Speaker 11 (01:16:15):
All the all the work down here, and it's a
Hertilian effort, you know, just Santa's local, state, county volunteers.
You know, they are busting their you know what I mean,
just the immensity of what happened is insane. But with
regards to FEMA. So after Aleen happened, I was up
that Cincinnati came came right back down. The day after,

(01:16:38):
we had gotten about three inches of water in the
mobile home. Obviously, I looked at it and I said, well,
you know, so I tore out a thousand feet of flooring, subflooring,
vapor barrier.

Speaker 9 (01:16:50):
Insulation, and just just got it out of there right away.
You know, no flood insurance, you know, just economically didn't
make sense.

Speaker 11 (01:17:00):
Were self insured, we had homeowners insurance, so you know,
tornado fire, hurricane win damage, et cetera. Right, So two
days after that, you know, mountains of trash, everybody's tearing
their floors out. You know, I'm helping people drag wet
mattresses and furniture out.

Speaker 9 (01:17:14):
We were fortunate we lost no furniture in our place.

Speaker 11 (01:17:17):
Somebody comes along, they were actually I think from the
little city we're in South Pasadena, and they proceeded to
go up and down each street.

Speaker 9 (01:17:25):
There's about two hundred and twenty homes in the community.

Speaker 11 (01:17:27):
Were right on the water, sticking these yellow papers on
all of the houses, the sides of stilted ones, and
a sheep protector tape them to the front of the house.
Just a yellow paper that said something to the effect
of uninhabitable reason of flooring system water damage right at

(01:17:49):
your own risk. Nothing identifying or anything on it. Is
to what it was, no official sealed tema whatever.

Speaker 9 (01:17:56):
So I asked the lady who was sticking on and
I said, I said, you know what is this? I said,
she said, that's an order from FEMA. I said, well,
there's no ordinance on there, there's.

Speaker 11 (01:18:07):
No contact information. For all I know, you're a squatter
trying to scam into leave my house to smooth in.
I tore it off and handed it back to her.
That's three days later. FEMA was in the neighborhood helping people,
you know, file for FEMA, talking to these people like
their six year olds, no identifying clothing, saying they're FEMA
talking to old people, don't add to use technology eighty

(01:18:29):
years old, like like they're six year old. They approached
me and They said, you know, where's your yellow sticker?
And I said, I don't need a yellow sticker and
they said, well, yeah, water system damage your floor. I said,
I'm not going to let you go in my house,
and I'm going to let you look in my house.
I kicked open the door and I said what floor.
I said, take your yellow paper and they.

Speaker 9 (01:18:48):
Said, well, sir, you may not.

Speaker 11 (01:18:50):
Be able to qualify for FEMA if you can't follow
the guidelines and whatever.

Speaker 7 (01:18:54):
I said.

Speaker 11 (01:18:55):
I said, I don't qualify for FEMA anyway. It's the
second home, not my prime Mary Resnat, I'll.

Speaker 9 (01:19:01):
Take care of it. You take care of you. You
don't tell me what to do with my home. I'm
not going to tell you what to do. Have a
great day, and I do shout the door in their BA.

Speaker 2 (01:19:09):
Good for you. I really wish we had more time
to delve into this. I'm way out of time in
this segment. I can't thank you know for the time.
We're all right, am hang in there, brother, hang in there.
I got a couple more notes to talk about that,
and we come back from the break because I know
some people down there experiencing it as well, so we'll
continue the conversation. God bless you and stay well, and
I wish you all the best. Six fifty nine and

Glad Joe's Trekker is in where he belongs. And happy
birthday to jus trekker big five over the weekend. It's
a real milestone. Hope you had a good day, Joe's Tracker,
and happy birthday again. Five two three talk. Hey, listen
to the guy from Florida calling. And you know I
mentioned my friend Laura down in Florida and she's been
posting videos and the other thing she posted, I believe
was just yesterday. Power is still out and the power

(01:20:37):
is still out for a lot of people. And I
get on this, you know, this, this gang up against electric
vehicles and this whole shift to get you an electric vehicle,
stating the obvious, You're not gonna be able to charge
your EV if the power isn't working, which means most
people are relying on, yes, gasoline powered engines to run
their generators. And many people are in line at gas

(01:20:59):
station trying to get what gas is available out there.
And apparently the line, she said, were like one hundred
cars plus deep fistfights breaking out of gas stations because
people are trying to get their gasoline, but they can
at least get the gasoline, and in providing aid for
those people in the rural areas of North Carolina and elsewhere,

(01:21:23):
ATVs that run on gasoline are being used widely. Helicopters,
of course, you mean you need gasoline when the power's
out you can't get away from it or you're literally stuck.
And I know they make generators that are battery powered,
but I also know those things happen to be like
quadruple the price of a gasoline to do the same thing.

(01:21:43):
And what happens when it runs out of the charge,
what happens if the clouds are in the sky in
your solar panel, which allegedly can charge those things, but
not very efficiently. You can't get a recharge, so you
are literally without. So just the logistics of EV's, and
then there's the corollary problem. If you're in flood zones,

(01:22:05):
of course you're not supposed to even be able to
drive your EV's if they've been innundated with water, you're
not supposed to even move them or turn them on
for fear that they're going to blow up or explode
or otherwise catch on fire. Releasing thousands of particles of
toxic gas into the air is another component problem with that.
I don't know. It just seems people are becoming more

(01:22:26):
more aware of the risks associated with owning one and
all the downside that is going to come even more
so the more they will take over the transportation market.
Somebody should be able to figure out a new invention
for you out there, your creative types, figure out a
way of putting out an electric vehicle fire in a
very short period of time without having to us like

(01:22:46):
hundreds of thousands of gallons of water and everything else
that goes along with that. But yeah, I really feel
for the folks that are without. And I don't know,
compared to North Carolina, how bad things are in Florida,
or if there even is a comparison you can make
given the challenges associated with some of those more or
more rural areas of North Carolina in the mountainous regions

(01:23:09):
where people are still stuck, they still haven't gotten a
full death hole. So and big red flags over Feena.
My friend Maureen, the pattern observer, not conspiracy theorist, believes
that the storms will ultimately endo being a land grab
FEMA planning to grab these homes for pennies on the dollar.
And if some people suspect that that's what went on

(01:23:30):
in Hawaii, I haven't reached that conclusion, but I know
the rumors are swirling about around out there. So anyhow,
five one three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight
hundred eighty two to three talk found five fifty on
AT and T phone UH department here here, okay, here
is there any bias in our federal government Department of
Justice suing Virginia because they're trying to enforce their own

(01:23:52):
law removing non citizen from the voter list. Any effort
that any state goes into to try to get rid
of people who are not legally allowed to vote is
well met with a roadblock from the DOJ at least
a lawsuit sue the state of Virginia over the state's
enforcement of a two thousand and six law removing non
citizens from voter list. Let me repeat, non citizens aren't

(01:24:13):
supposed to vote and not allowed to vote federal elections.
It's a no no. Last Friday, the Dog wrote that
the removal of voters from election rules so close to
an upcoming presidential election of violation of the National Voter
Registration Act, which says states are required to complete the
systematic programs in order to remove the names of ineligible

(01:24:34):
voters from voter registration list no later than ninety days
before federal elections. They said, this is too late. Governor
of Virginia. Virginia Governor Glen Youngkin issued the executive order
in August requiring all registrars to cancel the registrations of
non citizens who have registered to vote in a local,

(01:24:56):
state or federal election by falsely claiming they are are
a citizen, including the forging of documentation or any other
means of improper registration. These are people who are not
allowed to vote and they have misrepresented, either intentionally or negligently.
I think this is falsely claiming is probably an intentional act,
and our federal government wants to prevent that from happening.

(01:25:22):
Youngkins announcement on this executive order in August revealed it
roughly just under eighty thousand deceased voters had been removed
from the voter list of the prior calendar year, and
that roughly six three hundred and three non citizens have
been taken out the voter list between January twenty two
and July of this year. They're out there, there are
a lot of them. They're endeavoring to do what they're

(01:25:44):
obligated to do under the Virginia law passed in two
thousand and six to get rid of the folks that
are not legally allowed to vote. And of course the
Department of Justice will have none of that, absolutely none
of that. Over to a victory in Michigan, Michigan Republicans
secure to win an election integrity lawsuit against the City

(01:26:04):
of Detroit over its deliberate failure to hire enough Republican
election inspectors. RNC, among other Republican groups in Michigan nounce
the city conceded to modifying its election protocols to hire
Republican poll workers at each location that they had to
do anyway. Back in August, RNC sued the city allegend

(01:26:25):
that violated the state law requiring election officials to hire
an equal number of poll workers on both sides of
the political aisle. Right, the lawsuit of legends of the
city hired seven times as many Democrats as Republican which
of course decreases public trust and elections. According to complaint,
of Republican Party nominate nominated six hundred and seventy five

(01:26:46):
of these election inspectors, the city only appointed fifty two.
The city hired up to two hundred and fifty Republicans
that were not nominated by the RNC. That left the
ratio of seven Democrats to one Republican inspector, which, according
to the complaint, was not even close to equal. Obviously,
in comparison, the city hired hired again more than twenty

(01:27:09):
three hundred election inspectors from the Democrat Party. Back in
the press release, RNC said this uneven distribution of poll
workers not only breaches state law, but also undermines the
integrity and fairness of the electoral process. Our lawsuit demands
Detroit to point more Republican inspectors, which is ultimately the
win that they got. According to rn C Chairman Michael Watley,

(01:27:32):
thanks to the efforts of the RNC and the Michigan GOP,
Detroit will now change its election processes so the Republican
poll workers will be allocated to all voting locations as
nearly as possible, and equal number of Republicans will be
hired to this November. They also want a lawsuit in
July over signature verification requirements that election officials were instructed

(01:27:55):
to disregard. Huh, who's doing the disregarding who's doing the
imbalance of the Democrats? I wonder why that might be.
Why are they so interested in ignoring the laws written
on the books. You got one Democrat, you got to
have one Republican. Here's the signature requirement. Follow it peak

(01:28:18):
hoaxed or the Republican Party chairman. As to the signature
of verification, the signatures of absentee val voters have to
and should be verified. Michigan is crucial to the pathway
the victory in November. We must protect and enforce all
our election laws to maintain confidence on our system. Who
is undermining confidence in the system? The Democrats you know.

(01:28:43):
I mean, can you imagine the just the outrage if
Republicans were consciously intentionally standing in the way of Democrats
getting their poll workers in place, that if the Republicans
were ignoring state law regarding signature requirements or anything else
for that matter, they would be screaming, bloody murderer, be
on the front page of the mainstream meuda all over.

(01:29:04):
They are the obstructionist. They're the ones that want to
keep the opportunity to cheat. I mean, look at the
Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, signing into law a prohibition
on using photo IDs. What possible sense does that make
if you're interested in ensuring the accuracy of the vote.
Zero It opens the door for cheating. Whether it's widespread

(01:29:29):
or not. It's a hole that could be plugged that
they choose intentionally not to plug. Maybe the purpose is
to cause you to believe the election is invalid. I
know that is an issue that came up when I
read about the number of firearms owners in the United
States that aren't even registered to vote. There's like forty
million of them. One of the reasons cited by these

(01:29:51):
people is they don't believe that the election is going
to matter. It doesn't count. It's rigged. And obviously the
perception of a rigged election is exacerbated when Democrats don't
do anything at all to plug the holes, like getting
dead people off the voter ranks, getting illegal immigrants who
are not allowed to vote off the voter rolls, requiring

(01:30:12):
a photo ID so you can't fake it and pretend
you're somebody that you're not. Simple solutions. Democrats stand in

asking for some extra time today. Christopher, welcome back to
my friend. I hope you had a wonderful weekend.

Speaker 7 (01:31:46):
Oh I did, I did, and you're going to hear
about that wonderful weekend. Brian Thomas, my oldest son, Christopher

(01:32:09):
and so awesome, a baby boy. And the baby boy's
name is Christopher Edward Charles Litherman, the third beautiful Yeah,
my my oldest son is And I told Christopher and
any any of your listeners you know, and you and
everybody you understand this. When you have a kid, it

(01:32:32):
changes everything, changes your perspective, right, and it changes in
an instant. And so I was sharing with Christopher, he
was holding holding his son. I said, now you understand
in this moment when I say to you, did you
get there safe? Are you okay? I get it, I

(01:32:52):
get it.

Speaker 2 (01:32:52):
Dad, your grandpa Man, your grandpa Sin Now that's great?
Is mom and baby all healthy?

Speaker 7 (01:33:02):
Ever?

Speaker 2 (01:33:02):
Pretty good?

Speaker 7 (01:33:05):
Everybody's good, six pounds three ounces. Everybody is good. And
and again I you know when you said you asked me,
did I have a good weekend? I had a great weekend.
And yeah, and just so happy for him and for
all you know Americans out there, because Joe told me
it was his birthday yesterday. You know who celebrated birthdays

(01:33:25):
or had kids. You know, it's a wonderful, wonderful wonderful
feeling and experience to become a grandparent. Now there is
that part, Brian Thomas, and I don't I don't want
to run through that and just say hey, it also
is a reflection of losing my wife because she isn't
here to experience the birth of her first grandchild. So,

(01:33:49):
you know, I want to acknowledge Pamela because she poured
into Christopher, you know, took him everywhere, invested in him,
and he's grown up to be such a wonderful young man,
a wonderful husband, and she deserves tremendous credit this morning,
so I want to acknowledge her. And this is Breast
Cancer Awareness Month as we kind of turn the corner

(01:34:09):
and go to a mid month, and so it also
is a nice opportunity for me to just again highlight
the importance of screening, preventative care and making sure that
women who have dense pressed. My wife had dense press,
Brian Thomas, and it is a different difference in the
protocol of three D imaging and making sure that you

(01:34:30):
stay on top of that kind of care. So thank
you for allowing me to just extend that kind of
love on your show this morning. Before I get into
the event.

Speaker 2 (01:34:38):
Happy to do it, man, And I'm glad you brought
that back up because it is important women engage and
you know, self exams and get the mammograms one appropriate
and follow doctor's advice and watch your diet and all
that kind of thing. But I'm just I you know,
it's a sad thing you obviously losing your life after
that struggle. But they have made tremendous advances in field

(01:35:00):
of breast cancer and they are curing it now in
a word that never used to come up in breast cancer.
So a lot of optimism out there, and notwithstanding the
fact that nobody wants a cancer diagnosis. But God bless you,
Christopher Smitherman, and congratulations man, I'm so happy for you,
Grandpa Smitherman. Geez, that's gonna take a lot to get
used to. I bet don't go away, Christian. Christopher is

Speaker 2 (01:37:31):
See on a Monday, we got a little bit of
positive information for Christmas smithing in advance, and now we're
going to dive into the Monday morning smither Van Christopher,
what's under your skin today? My friend brother?

Speaker 7 (01:37:44):
Let me you know that I am a Catholic family
and you know fifteen Governor Whitmern. I don't know if
you're listening audience, you know saw per video of putting
a dorito into an influencer's mouth as if she was

(01:38:05):
taking her first communion.

Speaker 9 (01:38:07):
Wearing a hair hat.

Speaker 7 (01:38:12):
It just doesn't make any sense to me. And you know,
when I connect things like you know, the Olympics and
the opening ceremonies. Now I see, I see, you know,
the governor of Michigan with the dorrito putting it in
a woman's mouth that she's on her knees as she's
acting as if she's taking her first communion. The dorrito

(01:38:35):
is offensive. Her on her knees with the communion outfit
is offensive. And injecting it into the politics space right,
the political space is offensive. And so I'm trying to
figure out what's going on in her head that she
would think that mocking Catholics in Michigan are across the

(01:38:56):
country for their first communion, which you know is incredibly
important in our faith, our children's first communion is insane,
and I'm just trying to figure out what the hell
is going on and why she thought that was important
to do.

Speaker 2 (01:39:12):
Yeah, for the life I mean, Christopher, I have no idea, honestly,
you know. I want to say it's like a company
going on record on some very politically divisive issue like
bud light and the LGBTQ thing. But a lot of
folks have gone down that road, much of their chagrin,
because the minute you take a political stand it favors
one side or another, you immediately are going to alienate

(01:39:34):
half of the people. If you're a politician and you're
trying to get votes for Kamala Harris, why would you
want to piss Catholics off? It doesn't make a wits
worth of sense. Don't go down that road, remain neutral,
say nothing about it. I just don't. I don't get it.
I really don't. Unless she's so surrounded by this echo
chamber that she thinks the entire world feels as though

(01:39:56):
she does, and then somehow Catholics are to be mocked
for whatever reason. I don't know. Maybe it has something
to do with the abortion decision all or the abortion issue.
Don't know, Christopher, I really don't.

Speaker 7 (01:40:07):
It's dumb, but it's it's really dumb, and you're right,
it's like there obviously there are people around her who
are watching her video take this and going, this is
a great idea, Governor, you know, this is a great idea.
There's nobody pulling her chain that says, you know what,
putting at Dorrito and faking like you're doing the first

(01:40:27):
communion right, You're you're you're you're literally going to piss
off any Catholic person that sees it. So it's just
amazing to me. And I want to pivot to FEMA
because this word that they've been using over the weekend,
you know, basically saying misinformation, misinformation. Here's the reality, man, FEMA,

(01:40:49):
phil North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Period. Right, we've got
hurricanes impacting Americans and so.

Speaker 12 (01:40:58):
What adds a level of rubbs is the one billion
plus dollars that they gave out to illegal immigrants for
housing and food and healthcare and.

Speaker 7 (01:41:10):
Whatever they were doing while American citizens suffer, meaning people
lost their houses, they lost their pets, they lost their grandparents,
they lost their children, they lost their spouses. I mean,
we're talking about catastrophic situations in North Carolina, parts of Georgia,

(01:41:30):
and obviously parts of Florida. Why do we have a
White House that could send a billion dollars out for
people who came to our country illegally and then seems
to not be able to put together some type of
emergency packages outside of seven hundred and fifty dollars for
American citizens in our own damn country. Brian Thomas, It's

(01:41:54):
amazing to.

Speaker 2 (01:41:55):
Me, it is, And they always seem to magically find
initial money when some other source demands it, like wow,
law and behold. You know, Biden approves an additional X
billion dollars for some foreign war, and you're like, wait
a second, did Congress allocate that? Where where did that
come from? In rerouting unspent COVID funds, there's a whole
bunch of billions of dollars in unspent COVID money for

(01:42:16):
issues that aren't around anymore. They re route that money
elsewhere sometimes, but no, when it comes to you know,
people out in North Carolina, we know I'm sorry, we're
out of money. We don't have it. It's in a
different bucket. We're not allowed to use that bucket because
it's allocated for something else.

Speaker 7 (01:42:32):
It's insane. And then in the same week, you know,
I'm not exaggerating, they say we're sending money to Lebanon. Yeah,
you know, and so you're just, you're just and that's
not an exaggeration to the to your listening audience. This
is why this election right now is so acute and
why people are so concerned. Because you would think, Brian Thomas,

(01:42:52):
that are hurricane hitting North Carolina, hitting Georgia, hitting Florida
would be bipartisan. You would think, no matter what your
political spectrum, I wouldn't turn my TV on and go misinformation.
FEMA's doing their job. If you talk to the people
that are on the ground, Brian Thomas, they tell you

(01:43:13):
they don't know where FEMA is. The people helping the
people are churches, volunteers coming from outside the state, inside
the state of Christian organizations that are there providing the
support private citizens. With helicopters going up in the North Carolina.
It was at the first week, a week and a half.

(01:43:34):
It wasn't FEMA, it wasn't the United States of Government.
And I'm saying the White House did a terrible job
of pulling together our resources. At the same time, it
looks like they care more about the illegal immigration situation
with their money. That is the rub as we go
into the November fifth election, you're literally telling us through

(01:43:56):
your spending, how you spend your money, what you value,
and it's not American citizens.

Speaker 2 (01:44:02):
Gee. You know, as you were saying that, Christopher, I'm
just wondering if you had a Republican in office right now, oh,
maybe like George Bush during Katrina and got all that
backlash about how you know, it was being mismanaged and
it was all racist based and YadA, YadA, YadA. It
was a total I mean just absolutely, just an absolute
slam twenty four to seven on the response on that one.

(01:44:24):
And here we have all these illustrations, some of which
you just pointed out, about an incompetent administration and incompetent
use of FEMA funds and a limited number of funds
even available. They're not getting the heat that Bush got
during Katrina at all.

Speaker 7 (01:44:40):
Absolutely not, And the difference is so glaring, and that's
why it was so bizarre to hear these talking points
coming from administrators like their feelings have been hurt. Oh
my goodness, I can't believe they're saying these things about me.
And I'm going, lady, do you understand that people lost
their entire house like it's gone, Like most Americans all

(01:45:02):
of their wealth are eighty percent of their wealth is
in their home. It just washed away. Their families washed away,
meaning grandma and grandpa and moms and dads and children.
And they're sitting there wanting us to feel sorry for FEMA. Listen,
I can't feel sorry for FEMA when you see the

(01:45:22):
catastrophic situations in North Carolina. There's still people, thousands and
thousands of Americans who do not have electricity, do not
have clean water today, and they live in the United
States of America. I'm saying FEMA and the White House failed,
They did not do a good job, They were not prepared,
and that is now on the ballot on November the fifth,

(01:45:44):
because we're saying, why aren't you putting Americans first? Why
are you not putting your own citizens on the forefront
while you're trying to take care of the rest of
the world. Don't tell me you're sending money to Ukraine
and you can't evacuate and save people in North Carolina.
It doesn't make sense.

Speaker 2 (01:46:02):
It does not make sense. Christopher, you're asking for me
to make sense of it. I can't do that question, Christopher.
Are they going to be able to vote in North Carolina?
Will they get a mechanism in place that will allow
those people who some of which are still stranded or
at least in isolated areas without power as you point out,
Are they even going to get an opportunity to chime

(01:46:22):
in on the election in November?

Speaker 7 (01:46:25):
I think you have Americans in these areas that will
be crawling through the mud to vote. I think they're
so incent by what has happened here that they'll be
the first at the ballot box.

Speaker 10 (01:46:39):
They'll be there.

Speaker 7 (01:46:40):
Because they understand better than any of us now how
their country has abandoned them while they have nothing. They're
offered seven hundred and fifty dollars. I mean, who puts
that out on the on the TV with good sense?
Who would even announce, hey, man, we're going to give
you seven hundred and fifty dollars says that, like if

(01:47:01):
that was even the point, I wouldn't even announce that
as a politician. It's like the governor of Michigan Whitman
with a dorito giving it to somebody doing, you know,
acting like they're doing first communion. These politicians are disconnected
and they just continue to reinforce that they don't care
about us. They're not dialed into our pain and suffering.

(01:47:22):
The government should have been there for North Carolina, for
Georgia and Florida. And you saw what Governor Desantus sent out. Listen,
don't play political games with this hurricane. Vice President, this
is serious. We need serious people dealing with serious issues.
And I know we're going to have a segment because
when we come back, I want to talk about the
brother comment that came.

Speaker 2 (01:47:43):
Oh yes, I am looking forward to your take on that.
Let's pause from Rome. We'll do just that. Bring Beck

Speaker 2 (01:49:18):
Hey, Joe, you know what I was thinking when I
was hearing that misinformation disinformation popular words. You can use
the left's own phrases against them in response to that anyway.
Christopher Smithman, your reaction to uh Barack Obama's given a
tongue lashing to black men, Well, let me.

Speaker 7 (01:49:40):
Just share with you as an African American man, I
don't speak for African American people in this country are
around the world, and nor does former President Barack Obama.
The African American community is not a monolithic community. We
are incredibly diverse, with a variety of different perspectives, and

(01:50:00):
damn it, we've earned it. So we're not going to
have anybody present or give us tongue lashings about how
we should sing politically, what we should do economically. It
just doesn't make any sense to me. And so, out
of deep respect for President Barack Obama, like I would
say for former President Trump or former President Bush or

(01:50:22):
Vice President Harrism is giving examples. Right that title I extend.
But to stand in front of our country and act
as if you are speaking for African American men, are
people on how they should politically vote, is way out
of line. And so the notion that I got to

(01:50:45):
get the brothers together. Now you're my brother, Bryan Thomas.
I don't know a President Obama, and so this notion
that he can stand there and act as if black
men don't have concerns that they've been raising about the
political strategy or meaning they're saying economically inflation is hurting me.

(01:51:05):
I'm worried about the border, right, meaning it's this notion
that African American men don't have deep thoughts about the
public policies of our country, bathing in race, pandering to
skin complexion, are pandering to gender, when the reality of
it is they're African American men. Obviously, because the Democratic

(01:51:29):
Party is panicking, they wouldn't be saying and doing those
things if they weren't panicking. I will say something that
is charged. It almost is like the Democrats are feeling
like some Democrats are moving off of their Democratic plantation.
Meaning this mindset that I can tell you how to think,
what to do, and you should be bathing in someone's

(01:51:51):
pigmentation and not their public policy. Meaning people around the
Vice president have been telling her, please go on in
a flaying yourself. We have a talk show host person
right here locally, Lincoln Ware. Why hasn't she come into
the market and given lincoln Ware an interview if they're
really concerned about It's not like lincoln Ware is not

(01:52:12):
going to ask her, well, tell me what your policies
are around bringing down inflation, because he's out there paying gas,
he's out there trying to buy food like everybody else.
Meaning it just takes away from the substance of the
debate to say, just vote for her because that bothers me.
And I think that the blank because is because she

(01:52:34):
is a woman of color or because she's African American.

Speaker 2 (01:52:38):
Well, and I don't know that she necessarily is. There's
some confusion swirling about her Jamaican background and her I guess,
is it Indian background. I get confused about that. I
saw a black commentator bring that up and he was saying, okay,
so we have a half black man telling all black
men one hundred percent black men what they should do

(01:52:58):
and vote for a woman of questionable ethnic background. She's
not black anyway. That was not my words. It was
just repeating what other one of the other black commentators
who was offended, as you sound like you are over
that I was when I heard that was my reaction,
Chris from like, you know, black men probably do grocery
shopping and have budgets themselves, and probably have car payments
and insurance payments and mortgage payments or rent payments, and

(01:53:22):
we know they've all gone up. It may be that
they realize that this is current administrations are the ones
that brought about a lot of this peril. They may
live in a neighborhood that's been inundated with illegal immigrants
and a high crime and they may reject the woke
ideology of the left in terms of crime fighting or
in terms of relocating illegal immigrants into their neighborhood when

(01:53:42):
the residents of the neighborhood aren't getting the benefits of
big fat ebt checks. And I mean we can go
on and on about all the benefits illegal immigrants are
getting in this country. Going back to your FEMA comment,
I mean, yeah, those are real issues affecting real people
every single day, and the whole idea that brought Obama
wants to turn this into Come on, guys, you just
don't want to for a woman. Get over that. It's ridiculous.

(01:54:02):
If that woman's policies or she was part of administration
that was really working for the American people and had
inflation down and affordability of homes up, they wouldn't be
complaining and they'd readily vote for her because it's working.

Speaker 7 (01:54:16):
A central issue in the African American community are public
school systems around them wherever they live that are failing, right,
Because still the number one way out of the middle class,
higher upper middle class, or from poverty into the middle
class is a good education, sir. And so you have

(01:54:40):
communities that are being ravaged by public school systems that
are failing their children. So what I look at and
I push back on former President of Barack Obama, we
need him lending a voice to public school systems around
the country who are failing our children. We need him

(01:55:01):
lending a voice to communities, urban cores that are not safe,
where people are coming out of their homes and being
shot at, or their children are standing at a bus
stop being shot at. We need him to weigh in
on how do you lower prices like you just talked
about I'd like to buy a steak, or I'd like

(01:55:22):
to buy milk and eggs. It's forty percent or thirty
percent higher than it was a year ago. I'm saying
if he had addressed these issues and not just said, hey, bro,
vote for her because I said so, or hey bro,
vote for her because she's a woman of color, or

(01:55:43):
hay bro, vote for her because she's a woman. I
don't know what his position is. That's the point you're
approaching African American men as if we don't have deep,
substantive thought about our country and where we're living. My
message to the Democratic Party is that we do that.

(01:56:03):
I am a financial planner. I've owned my own business
for thirty years, and I'm concerned about my tax rate.
I'm concerned about unrealized capital gains and you saying you're
going to tax them at twenty or twenty eight percent
even though I haven't sold. Whether it's a stock or
whether it's a real estate a company, a piece of

(01:56:25):
real estate that I own. There are small business owners
who are African American men who are listening to our
conversation right now, and they're saying, listen, man, I'm thinking
about my pocketbook, and I'm thinking about my economics. I'm
looking for the candidate that's going to make my life better.
That is what President Barack Obama missed. Talk about the substance, brother,

(01:56:46):
and you might get people to vote for your candidate,
but if your candidate is unwilling to go out there
and give interviews, get out there and say here's my
public policy position. Why would you ask an intelligent and
form person to cast vote for somebody that they don't
know who their votings.

Speaker 13 (01:58:56):
Oh always, Well the bang was one last night, so
that'd be made better up.

Speaker 2 (01:59:00):
To find the news on that one. I was happy
to get the news but didn't stay up for it.
But well we'll take one, right, that's rightw Hey, how
about that new stadium anyway, I was talking to Adam
on the break and just because we've got to start
with something. He's running for a county commissioner. Of course,
the stadium deal, it's going to be one of the
top items for whatever makeup we have on for county commissioners.

(01:59:25):
When the Tropicanas Stadium was hit by the hurricane and
the wind blew the top off, I'm sure you saw
pictures of that down in Florida Tampa. In the reporting,
I read they were going to be building or they
are building a new stadium for the Rays that was
supposed to open or is supposed to open in twenty
twenty eight. I don't know if things get advanced or

(01:59:45):
they changed their plans, but as reported anyway, one point
three billion dollars to build an entire brand new stadium.
And I looked at that. Wait a second, the pay
Corpse Stadium, you know, Paul Brown Stadium, Bengals Stadium. The
upgrades they want come in at one point two billion dollars,
So you can get a brand new stadium for the
baseball team in Tampa and you get basically for the

(02:00:08):
same amount of money some upgrades.

Speaker 13 (02:00:10):
Well, and I mean what you're saying is that that
quoted figure you know that's going up?

Speaker 1 (02:00:16):
When when have you know figure? When have you known that?

Speaker 13 (02:00:19):
When have you ever heard about a construction project being
on budget right and on time.

Speaker 2 (02:00:23):
Especially in these trying times with construction material shortages.

Speaker 13 (02:00:26):
It relation. I mean, it's gonna take a while to
get that undergrad shortages. Yeah, yeah, Well, and I mean
even if Trump gets elected, I mean, you hope he
writes the ship. But he's talking about tariffs, so you
know they're gonna be increased costs. Ye, you're gonna have
some pain before things get better. There's no way you
can you can write this ship this quickly. It's good

(02:00:48):
that there's gonna be some issues. There's gonna be some
things coming up. He's got to put some things in
place in order to, you know, put pressure on foreign governments.
And you're gonna be in the middle of building a
stadium possibly that's well, that's happening.

Speaker 1 (02:01:01):
So but you're right, I mean it's crazy.

Speaker 13 (02:01:03):
You've got some of these places that are like, hey,
look we're going to build a brand new stadium and
we're going to significantly increase the fan experience. And then
you've got Cincinnati in Hamilton County that's hey, let's do
some upgrades for one point three Let's move Marring Way.
Let's yeah, move an entire road. Yeah, I was moving
entire roads so we can have more park space or whatever.
It's just like, just put a dome stadium on there
or something.

Speaker 2 (02:01:22):
I mean, well, don't don't say that, because then they
might take that ball and run with it and it'll
be a two trillion dollars.

Speaker 1 (02:01:27):
Yeah, well it's going to be Yeah, it'd be two
plus for a dome state.

Speaker 2 (02:01:30):
And I'm not familiar with what the NFL as an
organization does. By way of participating, you're contributing to these upgrades,
but you set off the air that in order to
get any money from the FL NFL for these types
of upgrades, it has to improve the fan experience. Is
that like written somewhere, it.

Speaker 13 (02:01:47):
Has to significantly improve the fan experience for them to
give you any money.

Speaker 2 (02:01:50):
So new office buildings and a new practice field that's
going to improve the fan experience in what way, shape
or form?

Speaker 13 (02:01:57):
That won't but move a marring way probably won't. Add
in a little green space down there probably won't. Building
a new stadium would stop it, stop it. Yeah, so there.
But there's a lot of things that people don't know
about the NFL and how this whole process works, and
you barely hear about it from the commissioners.

Speaker 1 (02:02:19):
And it's crazy to me.

Speaker 13 (02:02:20):
Somebody asked me the other day, they said, well, you know,
the commissioners think that you know, they've given this enough time,
And I said, they've twenty five years to think of this,
to come up with.

Speaker 1 (02:02:29):
Something, right. It's not like it just happened, right.

Speaker 2 (02:02:32):
It's been twenty five years living with the worst negotiated
stangle stadium build agreement in the foot in football.

Speaker 1 (02:02:39):
History, absolute worst.

Speaker 13 (02:02:41):
Mike Brown got such a good deal on NAT he said,
twenty five years to enjoy the fruits of that deal
that he got. But now it's time to give back
to Himil County and get back to the taxpayers. And
you would think he would come to the table realizing
how good of a deal he got last time and
wanted to negotiate. But here's the thing too, Brian. People
don't think about so one hundred and twenty five million
dollars he got. It's called G five money. He gets

(02:03:01):
that from the NFL, so it is essentially a loan
on future revenues. So the one hundred and twenty five
million that he put towards the upgrades, it didn't really
come out of his pocket necessarily. It was kind of
like money he was going to make anyway. And it's
like a loan from the NFL. So it's called G
five money. That's money the NFL gave him. Now, the
chance is that the Hamilt kind of commissioners go to

(02:03:23):
the NFL and say, hey, we're poor, feel sorry for us,
give us money, slim chance with a stadium upgrade because
of that. I don't even know how you would quantify
what is a significant upgrade to the fan experience. I
don't know what that means, but yeah, it usually doesn't
apply to upgrades. It usually applies to new stadium.

Speaker 2 (02:03:43):
Significant increase in the fan experience for me has been
the realization that it's a hell of a lot more fun, convenient,
and less expensive to enjoy the football game in my home.

Speaker 13 (02:03:54):
That's everybody right, well, and that's the thing too. So
you're using that stadium primarily for eight nine games a year,
I know, there's nothing else. I mean, do you want
to spend one point three billion dollars on upgrades?

Speaker 2 (02:04:07):
Right?

Speaker 13 (02:04:08):
I mean, and keep the same deal in place. I
think Mike Brown can renew this lease essentially for another
ten years. The lease he has in place now, that's
with the terms that he has now for the next
ten years. Every two years he can renew it for
five times. He could do that, so all the deal
that deal from back in the day was so terrible.
He could just keep renewing.

Speaker 2 (02:04:28):
That well, so what you know, as commissioner, what would
you do? I guess one of the things my immediate
reaction is when I saw the proposal for the so
called fan experience improvements is well under the and I've
never read that contract. I've just read pieces of it,
and it's been so widely reported about how bad it is.
And I understand all that, but that the obligations under

(02:04:50):
the lease agreement for the Hamilton County taxpayers are for
improvements to this stadium that is not building a brand new,
freestanding office complex next to the stadium. So that hundred
and fifty million plus dollars that's the largest chunk of
the what they are asking for, doesn't have anything to
do with the stadium itself.

Speaker 13 (02:05:11):
Yeah, not that that doesn't sound like that's very fan
experience to me.

Speaker 1 (02:05:15):
No offices.

Speaker 2 (02:05:17):
I doubt fans will even set foot in the office
at any given time.

Speaker 13 (02:05:20):
Yeah, in that stadium, I mean you remember hearing years back.
I mean that there were things falling apart. There was
you know, concrete chipped and all this other stuff that
they claimed that was happening to the stadium. So I mean,
at the end of the day, Brian like, we have
to get smarter about how we interact with the Bengals.
I mean, you've got players down there, and you've got
Mike Brown and the Bengals themselves that they all have

(02:05:42):
their own little charities. Right there's money that the county
spends right now on social services that could potentially be
offset by some of these charitable things that the players
and the Bengals themselves are doing. That takes some of
the pressure if we're going to spend money, you're already
spending money on these social services, just of money on
the Bengals. Hey, if we're going to do something with
the Bengals, could we work better with the Bengals to

(02:06:05):
get some of that money to help offset and alleviate
some of the money that taxpayers are already spending on
some of these social services by leveraging the charitable good
that the Bengals themselves and the players are doing. I
mean there's things like that that people don't even think
about that we could be doing. I mean, there's we're
never going to be able to negotiot Mike Brown. We
have no leverage unless there's another buyer because the art

(02:06:27):
model rule kicks in if there's another buyer, And I
don't know how if everybody listened. I don't know if
you know how this Art Modell rule thing kicks in.
But Mike Brown essentially can't move the team if there's
another qualified buyer, it makes it much harder for him
to move. And I've heard through my various sources that
Mike Brown would be happy moving to Mexico City, right
and if he doesn't get his way, essentially, is what

(02:06:50):
I'm hearing. So you have no leverage as Hamilton County,
as voters, we have no leverage unless there's another qualified buyer. Well,
how many billionaires are floating around Cincinnati that can afford
to buy a team? And the NFL only wants one person.
They want one buyer of the team that they can
deal with. They don't want a group of multimillionaires to
go in and buy it because they need someone at

(02:07:12):
the head.

Speaker 2 (02:07:12):
Right.

Speaker 1 (02:07:12):
That's the rule right now.

Speaker 13 (02:07:14):
But has anybody ever thought let's go to the NFL
and talk to them, because not every city's New York
in LA. It's getting more and more expensive for cities
like Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, even Chicago to have an NFL
team and deal with these stadium issues and all this.
Every once in a while they have a rule in
place that they want one person to be able to

(02:07:36):
go to. But nobody's ever thought about potentially doing something
like a crowdfund where we can get the fans to
own the stadium.

Speaker 1 (02:07:44):
Now they're owned the team, like Green.

Speaker 13 (02:07:46):
Bay, but teams can't do it now because of this
new rule that the NFL put in place. But the
way around that potentially could be you do something like it,
and I'm going to go over some people's heads here.
Essentially token the ownership. You put it into an SPV,
a special purpose vehicle like a trust. That trust has

(02:08:07):
a board and they have a president. So now even
though you've crowdfunded the team, right and you've opened that
up to fans to be able to purchase the team,
you still have someone in place that the NFL can
go to. So the idea is is, look, NFL, it's
getting much harder for people to own this. We only
have one billionaire in talent, and maybe there's a couple

(02:08:27):
other billionaires, but they already own a sports team. So
how many other billionaires are going to step in and
want to buy this team from Mike Brown? There could
be somebody out there, but they're probably not going to
be local to Cincinnati. If we, as local people, want
to keep that team here, that's really the only other way,
that's the only way you're going to ever get leverage
for Mike Brown, is if we have an offer on
the table to purchase the team.

Speaker 2 (02:08:50):
Organizing that effort could be quite a challenge, and I
suspect the NFL would do anything in its power to
prevent that from happening as well.

Speaker 13 (02:08:56):
Possibly, but you got to talk to them. I mean,
they're not going to give us a half billion dollars either.

Speaker 2 (02:09:01):
And as we stand right now, because I haven't seen
any reporting on what the current commissioners are doing relating
to the stadium deal, the negotiations, the improvements, the obligations,
or you know, preparing a brand new lease agreement when
this one ultimately expires, which it's going to. So nothing.
So we don't know if there's been any outreach, nothing

(02:09:22):
to report on that. We don't know what the NFL
has said, if anybody's talked to the NFL. We are
in the dark, and that's one of the more frustrating
things about this election. We just really have little handle
on what the commissioners are doing.

Speaker 13 (02:09:34):
Yeah, the only thing I've heard of, And I've been
in some forums recently with the other commissioners, and Alisha
Reese is talking to the NFL about getting us some money.
So there's no progress necessary except for political talk.

Speaker 2 (02:09:47):
All right, Well, at least she's got to do it, yeah,
something apparently, we'll give her a little credit for that.
Age sixteen will continue with Adam Kaylor find him on
line at Adam Kaylor Koehler dot com. Learned about the issues
where he is on policies and consider or him as
a choice over the lockstep Democrat makeup of the county commissioners.
And also call us insulation because it's a great product,

(02:10:08):
an ultimate product, the ultimate no brainer product because it
pays for itself and it provides you with immediate comfort
improvement the very day they install it. It's noticeable improvement.
Winter time's fast approaching, folks. You know how cold it's
going to be. You got USA's foam and the exterior
walls of your home and your attic is insulated. You
are going to save heap loads of money. Energy bills
are not going down. It's like the seven dollars per

(02:10:31):
pound of ground beef that I've bade the other day,
the two dollars fifty apiece for oranges the other day.
I don't think my food prices are going down. You
know energy is not going to go down, So get
ahead of that bill save money every month. It will
pay for itself, this wonderful product. It also qualifies you
for a twelve hundred dollars energy tax credit when you're
doing your taxes next year. And they have financing options available,

(02:10:51):
so this isn't like you just have to write a check.
They'll work with you on financing solutions. It makes it
very affordable to do what's right for you, improve your
comfort and save money. So get in touch with them
at five one three three eight one three six two
six three eight one foam if you if your house
is under insulated, in other words, you got some R
twelve in the walls like my daughter did, put the
foam in with it. A free inspection will determine where

(02:11:14):
you are in terms of the adequacy of the insulation
you've got, because you may need it, you may not.
They'll be honest with you about that. If you have
an older home like mid seventies and before, there's nothing
in those exterior walls. Fill it with the highest R
value phone in the market. And again twelve hundred dollars
energy tax credit when you're doing your taxes next year
online USA Insulation.

Station Brian Thomas Adam Keler running for Hamilton County Commissioner.
Excellent man, he is. I can't encourage you enough to
head on over to Adam Kayler dot com and check
his background out where he is on the issues, and
of course the issues transcend. You know, the commissioner's race
course stadium deal one of the bigger ones. But we've
got some really important issues in Ohio. And as you

(02:11:55):
were telling me, the polling shows Donald Trump on you
gov is now eight points ahead.

Speaker 13 (02:12:02):
Yep, yep of Harris Harris. At this point last in
twenty twenty, it was zero right, they were to God
had them dead tide, dead tide. Trump ended up winning
by eight in Ohio.

Speaker 2 (02:12:13):
So your point is, if they use the same methodology,
then Trump could be as high as sixteen points ahead.

Speaker 13 (02:12:18):
That's right, And most pollsters have trouble with rural Americans.
So getting out in you know, Lime, Ohio and the
places like that to start. You know, polling people and
Republicans don't really reply to poles the same way Democrats do.
So if you look at the methodology of these polls,
a lot of times they oversample Democrats, and they oversample
left leaning independence.

Speaker 2 (02:12:39):
Well, and let us not overlook the reality that there
are so many people who won't even admit that they're
going to be voting for Trump. They demonized them so
thoroughly that to even utter the words I'm voting for Trump,
you know, invokes the ire of so many people outside.
It's like, you know what, I'm not even going to
play this game. I'm going to do what I want,
shut up, get away from my face, or lie or

(02:13:00):
otherwise just not even participating in the poll.

Speaker 13 (02:13:02):
Well, this is why people were sick of Democrats. I mean,
the whole time COVID was happening, what did they do.
I mean it was like totalitarianism in this country. Yeah,
and the way they treated their neighbors, the way they
you know, told on their neighbors. I mean that happened
throughout history right in some bad ways, but they just
turned into crazy people. And I mean Andrew Pappas on
Facebook the other day you saw it too. He just

(02:13:23):
posted a lady and Anderson kicking a Trump sign in
someone's yard and trying to pull that a ground and
she got on her knees and she's punching it.

Speaker 2 (02:13:30):
It's like the sign had molested her young child or something.

Speaker 1 (02:13:35):
Unhinged, totally unhinged.

Speaker 13 (02:13:37):
I don't know what is going on in My wife
and I were sitting here in a conversation last night
about the difference between urban liberals and suburban liberals, because
now you've got this relatively new thing, the suburban liberal
and where did they come from? You talk to guys
like Pappas He says, Yeah, these are city people that
you know, they got sick of the crime, they got
sick of the schools. They moved out to Anderson, or

(02:13:58):
they moved it you know, Blue or wherever. But they
keep voting the same way. It's it's it's wild to me.
And and for whatever reason, they believe MSNBC. They believe this,
you know, all the stuff that Rachel Maddow tells them.
But there is a difference. I feel like the the
urban liberal is is much more educated. You can kind
of have a conversation with them. Uh, But the suburban

(02:14:20):
liberal for whatever reason. I don't know what's going on
with them. They seem to be almost worse.

Speaker 2 (02:14:24):
It was that woke college education that did him in,
I think.

Speaker 1 (02:14:28):
And they never got over it. Right now, they never.

Speaker 12 (02:14:30):
They don't.

Speaker 13 (02:14:30):
Yeah, they don't interact, and they they demonize anyone who's
voting for Trump is if you're some kind of racist,
fascist person.

Speaker 1 (02:14:38):
And they use those words on a regular basis.

Speaker 2 (02:14:40):
That's the Tavlovian response. It's baked into the cake. It's
just immediately knee jerk reaction. They followed what they're you know,
MSNBC lords and masters tell them to say, and they
don't have any context for why they're saying it.

Speaker 13 (02:14:52):
That is why they're losing. That is why they're behind
right now. And then they you know, they send out
Kamala who you know can't talk without a teleprompter. Well
and even when she's hounds drunk at the time. I mean,
it's crazy, well it is.

Speaker 2 (02:15:03):
And you know, talk with Christopher Smithman earlier in the
program about Barack Obama giving an earfull of black men
about they need.

Speaker 13 (02:15:10):

Speaker 2 (02:15:13):
Seen a ton of it there lose, really angry black
men out there coming back and saying you've got to
be out of your mind.

Speaker 13 (02:15:20):
By all, Well, you want to talk about uh, you
want to talk about shifts, Let's talk about the African
American shift, and let's talk about the Hispanic shift.

Speaker 2 (02:15:27):
Yeah, we'll talk a little bit about that. And on
issue one, we've got a whole lot to go through
with Adam Keaylor here in this morning, we're going to
do that. Just stick around right back after the brief words.

Speaker 4 (02:15:37):
Something weird is going on because I don't know what's
true and what's not anymore. Because you can't trust the government,
you can't trust the.

it is a state's issue. So the idea of these
ads keep running. I guess you know that that to
me is insulting. It's insulting to me because I know

(02:17:41):
better than that.

Speaker 1 (02:17:42):
That's right, that's right.

Speaker 2 (02:17:43):
Well, it's sort of taking advantage to the low information vote,
or not to insult anybody's intelligence intelligence, But on matters political,
a lot of people don't pay any attention. Anybody runs
around going, you know, Donald Trump races, xenopho, homophobe whatever.
They're not paying attention because nobody has able to illustrate
or demonstrate a specific in its instance where Donald Trump
has engaged in, or adopted or embraced that type of

(02:18:04):
philosophy anywhere.

Speaker 13 (02:18:06):
No, he's a known commodity. He was already president for
four years, right, it's the Roe v. Wade thing, like
they lost their minds. But that was the Supreme Court decision.
But they blamed Trump for that because Trump put a
couple of those Supreme Court justices on the Supreme Court.
So they blamed Trump for that. But if Trump wanted
to do some national abortion ban, wouldn't he a push

(02:18:27):
for that when he was president?

Speaker 2 (02:18:28):
Well and appropriately, So people blame the nineteen seventy three
Roe v. Wade Court on engaging in liberal activism judicial activism.
You know, Donald Trump appointed conservative justice. In other words,
they follow the letter of the Constitution. They don't make
up and write laws. They interpret the laws that are
in front of them in the context of the Constitution.

(02:18:51):
And when that case made it, they said, wait a second,
this isn't even a power the federal government enjoys.

Speaker 13 (02:18:59):
The Democrats forget, we live in the United States of America.
They love the federal government. The federal government is their
god now.

Speaker 2 (02:19:08):
It is, And this pesky states that have different philosophies
and ideas because the constituents feel differently than the left.
They can't handle that. Yeah, I mean, they can't live
in a world where someone isn't in one hundred percent
unified agreement with all their batcrap insane ideology. We have
legitimate concerns as Republicans. We look at Kamala, the fact

(02:19:28):
that her dad was a Marxist professor, the fact that
she's Canadian, the fact that you know, all these things
in her rhetoric, the things she said about taxing unrealized
capital gains. That is crazy talk. I mean, that is
so far left, it's insane. The rhetoric around the First

(02:19:49):
and Second Amendment that you've heard from the left, and
they'll gaslight you on this. Oh yeah, but these are
real concerns. I'm talking about the structure of our country,
foundational document, the Constitution. They want to change that right
because you know, they're not getting their things across that
they want to get across to lead us down the
path of communism.

Speaker 13 (02:20:10):
But they're not concerned. What concerns do they have? Their
concerns are make believe Trump is going to institute a
national abortion ban.

Speaker 1 (02:20:18):
No he's not.

Speaker 13 (02:20:19):
He's come out and said he's not going to institute
a national abortion ban.

Speaker 2 (02:20:22):
And he believes in exceptions for any ban on abortion,
including rape inces life of the mother, and those are
things that the left has been in favor of a
long time. And there's Donald Trump on record he does
not believe in a one hundred percent abortion ban, notwithstanding
the fact that he's not going to have a damn
bit of control over any bands or proposals. Neither will
Commotion and neither will she. Yeah, that irks me to

(02:20:43):
no end. What else let's see here in terms of
the the idea that Trump is, if he's really truly
doing that, well, I mean, there's an opportunity to get
Bernie Moraino elected. We can get Orlando's Sanza around here
in Hamilton County.

Speaker 13 (02:20:58):
What a brilliant how much is better is than Landsman?
It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (02:21:01):
Oh, the debate was just absolutely You've.

Speaker 13 (02:21:03):
Got to be in a cult to not look at
their resumes and see that Sanza is just far and
away a much better candidate. I mean, west Point, He's
a CPA, he's a prosecutor, a beautiful wife raising an
unbelievably great family. I mean, the guy is, he's got
everything you want a candidate. And then you look at Landsman,

(02:21:26):
defund the police, all this other nonsense that he's done,
and I just I can't wrap my head around, like
the fact that we're just don't live in a logical
world anymore.

Speaker 2 (02:21:35):
Well, and you know the other thing I can take
some great comfort in, and I saw this off that
piece in the Wall Street Journal about what's going on
out in California where they, you know, engage in this
progressive sort of experiment defunding or rather not criminalizing drugs
or decriminalizing them. And then also this whole idea that
you know, less than nine hundred and fifty dollars is

(02:21:56):
going to be a disdemeanor that was prop forty seven. Well,
because of the social costs have gotten so bad for Californians,
they are backing what's called Proposition thirty six, which is
going to be voting on. They will restore penalties as
a criminal determ to and rehabilitation as an inducement. For example,

(02:22:17):
drug traffickers, you will get an opportunity to get back
into treatment rather than prosecution if you pursue that path.
Otherwise they're going to lock you up like they used to.
So that puts people in a position to turn their
lives around. But you have to criminalize the behavior up
front to get them to enter these programs. They threw
that out before and they're living the reality of it.

(02:22:37):
And there's a direct correlation between drug use and abuse
and crimes. Duh, because people who are whacked down addicted
to drugs usually aren't holding a steady job, so they've
got to steal things in order to uh, And.

Speaker 13 (02:22:48):
You're supposed to deal with it. You just get your
stuff stolen, and you're supposed to just be fine with that.

Speaker 2 (02:22:53):
Yeah, but get a load of this. Even in blue
as far left wing state as you can get, California.
You see, Burke the Institute of Government Studies pulled at
his polled last week, voters favor this Prop thirty six
by a three to one margin, with the strongest support
among Latinos. How about that.

Speaker 13 (02:23:11):
Yeah, people don't want crime in their neighborhood. And this
is the wild thing. You know, the left all well,
black people can't get IDs. You know, they think it's insulting.
Everything they do is is like they call, you know,
Republicans racist, But it's like you guys are kind of
undercover races, Like you don't think black people can get IDs,
you don't think black people want safety in their neighborhoods.

(02:23:33):
It's crazy to me. I live in an African American neighborhood.
My neighbor, her son just got shot and killed on
Eastliff and I on August twentieth. She's on my front
the stoop of my house the other day crying about it.
It's been you know, a month or so, and I'm like,
you know, Stacy, what's wrong?

Speaker 1 (02:23:47):
Still cry?

Speaker 12 (02:23:48):
You know?

Speaker 1 (02:23:48):
My son?

Speaker 13 (02:23:49):
I'm thinking about him. And it's just like this kind
of stuff happens all the time. There's a dry by
at the house caddy corner from us. My neighbor's Shorty,
right right next door to us. There's an empty line
in between us and her. She's sweeping up something. We
go over there the other day, Oh hey, Shorty, how's
it going. Bullet shellcasings. Oh my, there's still a bullet
hole in the window. We had a bullet come through.
We talked about this. We had a bullet come through

(02:24:09):
my bedroom window. It's just like this kind of stuff
happens on a regular basis in a city. And then
we get gas lit that crime is down and they
just broadly use that crime is down for who?

Speaker 1 (02:24:20):
Who is crime down for?

Speaker 2 (02:24:22):
Yeah, it's like the Biden and Harris running around talking
about it. No, don't believe your wallet, don't believe your
own eyes when you're at grocery shopping. Believe what we're
telling you that everything is great. Look at the stock market. Yeah,
I'm sure that that really helps a low income inner
city person struggling with rent and grocery bills, that the
stock market happens to the up when they're not invested
in it. Yeah, that's a real winninger. Hold on, we'll

(02:24:43):
continue with Adam Kaylor just after a brief few words,
he'll be right back.

Speaker 6 (02:24:47):
This is fifty five krc an iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 2 (02:24:51):
Hey forty one if you have KARCIT talk station. By
the time is here with Adam Kaylor and studio for
the whole hour. Adam Kayler dot com koe E H
L E R run for kind of commissioner. Over the
break that we were talking about growth in Hamilton County
and where it is, and then a little comparison shopping
as to maybe what some of the surrounding counties are
doing by way of growth, and it doesn't look like
a very pretty picture. You mentioned Claremont County by way

(02:25:13):
of illustration. So where are we in terms of growth?
Clearly needed, we need investment in the county. We need
more jobs and business is yeah, they of course yeah.

Speaker 13 (02:25:24):
I mean you got Hamilton County which has had a
two percent growth rate over the last decade, while some
neighboring counties and I believe it's Claremont has had a
twenty two percent growth rate over the last decade. And
I mean you can imagine where that's coming from. It's
not like people are leaving Pittsburgh or Nashville to come
to Claremont County. Those people are coming from Hamilton County.
And the one problem is you don't have pro growth

(02:25:45):
people in power here. We have a Democrat i'd say
progressive monopoly on city Council and Hamilton County Commission. Yes, right,
We've got a you know this this Black Music Hall
of Fame downtown. Do we spend millions of dollars on
you know, we spend about a million dollars a year
there just cutting the grass. And I heard someone say, oh, well,

(02:26:06):
there's been thirty five thousand people that have come seen
it and over a year. Thirty five thousand people in
a year. Is that a tourist attraction? Does that sound
like a tourist attraction?

Speaker 7 (02:26:16):
Year?

Speaker 13 (02:26:16):
It doesn't work out, right, it doesn't work out, But
we're spending money on stuff like that instead of how
do we get the people who are not participating in
the economy right now to participate in the economy. Half
of Hamilton County's budget goes to criminal justice. That's your
money and my money that we have to spend. If
there's anywhere I think we could save money, it's by

(02:26:37):
not producing criminals in the first place. But we have
school system that There's nothing really I could do about
the Cincinni Public school system as as a Hamilton County commissioner,
except I have a bully poolpit to say, hey, get
your stuff together. You're costing taxpayers a ridiculous amount of
money by not doing your job and keeping kids out

(02:26:59):
of the criminal justice. That's the system that we have
to pay for.

Speaker 2 (02:27:03):
There's so many layers in that, and I don't even
know where to begin at them, because of course, I
typically like to place most of the blame and the
deterioration of the nuclear family.

Speaker 1 (02:27:14):
And if you don't have a new path.

Speaker 2 (02:27:16):
Right the left, Yeah, by not requiring fathers to take
on the responsibility of paying for and supporting the children
they bring into this world and hooking up women in
the umbilical court of government by saying, well, if there
is a man in your life that provides financial support,
you're not entitled to any of this aid, which forced
women to stay away from the other guys so they
can get the money coming from government, which I'll be

(02:27:38):
honest is probably a hell of a lot more reliable
than the baby daddy and trying to track him down
and get him to pay.

Speaker 13 (02:27:44):
And why do you think they're losing the blackmail vote
right now? The blackmail has not been able to participate
in any of those benefits. They're still on the hook,
right They're going to jail for not paying child' sport.
They're dealing with a lot of this stuff. They don't
benefit from a lot of these things. They're looking at
why they've been voting Democrat for the last seventy years,
like what have we been doing?

Speaker 1 (02:28:04):
Is where has it gotten us?

Speaker 13 (02:28:06):
And Hispanics too, they hear this stuff about the families
not important, this and that from the Democrats, and they're like,
wait a minute, families important to.

Speaker 2 (02:28:13):
Us, hugely important among the Latino community.

Speaker 13 (02:28:16):
Huge and more and more of those types of folks
are moving into Hamilton County. I mean my neighborhood, Price Hill.
It's always kind of been a neighborhood for folks like us.
You know, I grew up in a single parent household.
My dad wasn't around, he didn't pay child support.

Speaker 2 (02:28:30):
Right.

Speaker 13 (02:28:31):
We had a lot of the same problems as many
inner city people, right, And that's what Pricehill was. It's
always been kind of a melting pot of folks.

Speaker 1 (02:28:38):
You know.

Speaker 13 (02:28:39):
I grew up with a lot of African American people,
a lot of Appalachians, big Appalachian community, and we didn't
want to be poor. We didn't want crime in our neighborhoods.
But it seems to be a dumping ground for crime.
They just kind of forget about us, right, And people
are starting to wake up to that fact, and they're like,
wait a minute, why do we keep voting Democrat? We
always voted Democrat when I was a kid, and I
finally woke up right paying taxes, start being a productive citizen,

(02:29:02):
and you're like, wait a minute, what are we paying for.
Half the county's money is going to criminal justice right now,
just to keep people in jail. The schools are are
a pipeline to prison. If you are going to save
taxpayers money somewhere. Stop sending US prisoners, stop sending us people,
start creating productive citizens, bring the trades back for God's sake. Oh,

(02:29:23):
put some vocational programs back in these schools like Western Hills.

Speaker 2 (02:29:26):
That right, there is a winning idea. Vocational training. It's
all the rage these days. College education not so much,
especially when you come out of college with two hundred
thousand dollars in debt and nothing but this sort of
liberal arts degree that well, guess what, there are no
jobs that are going to be paying the money that
you need to pay off that student debt with. It's
just it's a pointless exercise. It's like paying two hundred

(02:29:48):
thousand dollars to learn a hobby. A forty six fifty

friend Jeff from Marc on tool says, yeah, you are right.
We have to start teaching the trades again. There are
great jobs out there, no student debt, and of course
you can get paid while you learn. I mean. We
talked with John Morris, formerly the Associated builders and contracts

(02:31:12):
about that all the time. Lots of jobs in the trades,
and probably even more now given all the hurricane damage
and all the rebuilding and the projects that need to
be done. We can go on for hours on that,
Adam Kaylor find them online at Adam Kayler dot com.
Probably a better path for Hamilton County commissioner, offering some
more conservative perspectives, some really pro growth in Hamilton County perspectives,

(02:31:34):
and of course a man who has seen it all.
He's been a resident of the city of Cincinnati and
in a well, very mixed community and grew up very
poor with a single mom, and you know, not anymore,
not anymore. You change your life around and you've been
a very successful businessman. I applaud your record and your
hard work, and you're just proof that it pays off.

(02:31:54):
Hard work and an education is the key to freedom,
the key to yeah, freedom from the umbilical court of government,
which is very addictive. Anyway, Adam, final thoughts where we
part company today? I know, I guess I leave it
to you to decide which direction you want to go.
You got a few minutes here left. Well, I want
to fight for my city. I want to fight for
the county.

Speaker 1 (02:32:12):
I want.

Speaker 13 (02:32:13):
You know, there's there's been a disinvestment I would say
disinterest from Republicans because I mean there's been a flight
of Republicans from Hamilton County out to the suburbs.

Speaker 2 (02:32:22):
Yeah, it's like they almost feel like it feels like
they've almost given up, completely given up.

Speaker 13 (02:32:25):
There's this down trodden attitude. I want to bring some
energy back to the GOP. I want to bring some
energy back. I want to bring you know, more people here,
like I've got to. I went to school in Pittsburgh.
Right A big Bengal sticker on the back of my
car got broke into twice. They they hate me at Pittsburgh, right. Well,
I don't like them either. I want their businesses to
move here. I don't want Columbus to do better than us.
I was in Indianapolis on Saturday. You know, they've got
some growth. There's some things happen, and I was in Carmel,

(02:32:47):
beautiful suburb, you know. I see that stuff happening. And now
I'm like, why can't we have it here? What's going
on in Cincinnati, what's going on in Hamilton County? Let's
bring that back. You've got guys here that have never
stopped working politically in Hamilton County. Guys like Jim for
on the West side. You good friends with Jim. I
mean he gets out there. The guy is NonStop. He's
a guy lives in Pricell, lived in prys O for years.

(02:33:07):
He's seeing what's going on in that neighborhood. He's seeing
what's going on in our communities. And it's like you've
got a Democrat monopoly. One of the biggest problems is
I guarantee you all those guys that on city Council,
on County Commission. I bet you they all got a
teachers union endorsement.

Speaker 2 (02:33:22):
Oh yeah, If I was a betting man, I'd put
it all in on that.

Speaker 13 (02:33:25):
And if you've got a teachers union endorsement, you want
to keep that endorsement, right, So what happens when the
schools start to teach?

Speaker 2 (02:33:31):
I wouldn't wear it as a badger pride, Honestly, I
wouldn't either.

Speaker 13 (02:33:34):
I wouldn't either. But you turn a blind eye to
the failures of the school. You turn a blind eye
to the nineteen percent college readiness rate, the forty three
percent chronic truancy rate, truancy has never been this high
in the public schools. Do you understand, Brian, they're creating
a system of failure in our schools and in our county.
And what's in what's going to happen is is the
next generation is going to be worse than the last one.

Speaker 2 (02:33:55):
Oh, without question, without question, that's what's going to happen.
In couple with that truancy, I imagine this factors into
the whole idea of equitable grade. In other words, you
don't hold anyone back because it's going to hurt their
feelings or something, and you go ahead and advance them
to the next grade when they haven't had a mastery
of the grade that they're currently in meeting. The problem
just keeps getting worse and worse and worse as you

(02:34:17):
move forward.

Speaker 13 (02:34:17):
Well, kids have no idea what they want to do, Brian.
I went to a school for the credit and former Arts.
Everybody at that school, which I sit on the board
of right now, everybody at that school had a vision
for what they wanted to do. They knew they had
a talent. Someone helped them identify that talent at a
young age. I can dance, I can sing, I could
draw in my case I could draw. I've owned an
ad agency for fourteen years, Brian. It got me into
my startup. I've done art the whole time. Like it

(02:34:41):
pointed me in a direction. I'm just a broke kid
from probably selling a single mother household, hanging around with games. Right,
I needed direction. I didn't know how the world worked.
These kids don't have a clue. They rely on older people.
They rely on folks who've been out in the workforce,
who know what's coming. The problem is current leadership's more
worried about their progressive policies then they are.

Speaker 1 (02:35:01):
What's next, gender pronouns, what's coming?

Speaker 13 (02:35:04):
How we're gonna build affordable housing Brian. We don't have plumbers,
we don't have electricians, we don't have HVC guys. Meanwhile,
there's businesses for sale baby boomers, profitable businesses that are
selling that are just gonna go away because they have
no secession plan. And the young people they're not interested
even if they wanted to buy that business. How do
they do it? How do they do it?

Speaker 1 (02:35:25):
There's no plan, We have no plan.

Speaker 13 (02:35:27):
We need to start creating cycles of success, not cycles
of poverty. And that's what we have now. We have
cycles of poverty. And these are long term plans. These
don't happen overnight, so we got to start doing that.

Speaker 2 (02:35:41):
Adam Kaylor represents a great option on Hamilton Kenny Commissioner
Adam Kayler koehlr dot com. Check them out, help support them,
get a yard sign in your front yard, maybe donate
to the campaign. I know the silence is deafening from
your opponent, Adam, so I know you've got some great ideas.
You're enthusiastic about making Hamilton County a better place.

Speaker 1 (02:36:02):
Thank you. They they're gonna win.

Speaker 13 (02:36:03):
That's the problem that nobody's out here fighting so here
I am.

Well, it's been great hearing from you Brett today. If
you didn't get a chance to listen. Christopher Smithman and
congratulations to Christopher smith and now Grandpa Smithmen. He had

angry to get the Smither event also, and of course
