55KRC Monday Show - Smitherman and Empower U

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Five o five. If it's five KRC the talk station,
Happy Monday.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
I like it or not?

Speaker 3 (00:20):
SKay, well.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
It was a vacation.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
I'm the dude, man, I am not.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
I am Brian Thomas hosted fifty five KRC Morning Show,
Just Treckerd Jacob producer Internet Research grew and all round
great guy, with emphasis on that he's gonna have to
give Joe props out loud. He posted a post on Facebook.
It was a very elderly lady in one of those
scooters at the rest at the grocery store, and when
it came time to buy her groceries sixty dollars worth,
none of her cards would work. I guess they'd all

(00:54):
been maxed out. And she was beside herself, expressing some
grief and dismay. And Joe paid it forward. Joe Tracker,
man that does not have a whole lot of extra
money laying around, nonetheless, saw this woman in distress and
paid her grocery bill and she it brought her to tears.
And God bless you, Joe Strecker, what a beautiful, beautiful
thing that you did for that woman. And I I'm

(01:16):
sure you've assured yourself a place in heaven for doing
that little thing. So if you have the resources and
you can help out, there are those in need that
could surely use the help. So that's just one little
may way of doing it. So great job. Joe Stracker
has really moved by your post, so maybe you'll encourage
more people to do that kind of thing from time
to time. Coming up on the fifty five Garcie Morning
You Show, Christopher Smith aman at seven twenty of course

(01:38):
the Smith Event from the former Vice mayor of the
City of Cincinnati. Every Monday at seven twenty we have
an empower Youth seminar to talk about taking play. On
the twenty fifth, Scott Zimmerman joins the program at eight
forty Blue Lights and Human Health. We're going to learn
together at eight forty what that's all about. No other
guests on the run five one three, seven four nine
fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two three talk with
Time five fifty on at and T phone. So let

(02:00):
us start with something that's rather scary to me and
something that you know, probably unrelated anything you were thinking
about talking about in the Morning show right out of
the gate. But I wrote scary exclamation point double on
top of the article, and it's on the heels of
a very comparable article that Tech Friday's Dave Hatter sent
to me. You know, just an excellent segment and Dave
Hatter's been nationally recognized as having one of the top

(02:23):
podcasts hereing the five Case Morning Show with Tech Friday.
Dave Hatter again, congratulations on that award from the million
podcast website. So he sent me an article out of
the Guardian by Miranda Bryant about a week old. Sweden's
Central back had previously predicted by twenty twenty five of
the country would be cashless and now and it's pretty

(02:46):
much come true. Just one in ten purchases are now
made with cash. However, they are pushing back on cashless
in the given the concerns in Europe. You've got, of course,
the Ukraine, Russian War, raging unpredictability in the United States
and fear of Russian hybrid attacks. They say life without
cash is not proving the utopia perhaps once promised to be.

(03:08):
So authorities are now trying to encourage citizens to keep
and use cash in the name of civil defense. Last November,
the Defence Ministry sent every home a brochure entitled if
crisis or war comes, telling people to use cash regularly
and keep a minimum of a week's supply in various
denominations to quote strengthen preparedness. Government published findings of an

(03:33):
inquiry that proposed that some public and private agents should
be required to accept cash. Sweden also moving to cash lists.
I'm sorry, Norway also basically moving cash lists. They brought
in legislation that requires retailers to accept cash or be
fined or sanctioned if they don't. And that's more and

(03:56):
more retailers refusing to do it. So I pivot over
to John Karpey via the Epoch or Epic. It's both
ways pronounces correct. He's a ballb president of the Justice
Center for Constitutional Freedoms, a little food for thought in
his opinion piece. Now this is Canada, but could easily
apply anywhere where they're pushing for a central bank digital currency.

(04:17):
So the Bank of Canada has made no secrets of
an effort to explore a central bank digital currency a
quote digital dollar close quote issued and controlled by the
Central Bank Bank of Canada not alone did eight one
hundred and thirty four countries and currency unions have explored
a CBDC in sixty six countries are already in advanced
stages of implementation be frightened. In twenty twenty three, cash

(04:39):
account for only eleven percent of total payments made by Canadians.
They use their credit cards, debit cards, e transfers, online
banks to pay bills, make investments and donate to charities.
Cash is just a trivial thing completed as basically for
birthday cards. New legislation in Quebec and powers law enforcement.
This is scary and powers law enforce to presume that

(05:03):
cache sums of two thousand dollars or more are the
proceeds of unlawful activity. It's an immediate presumption, no due
process on that. While most consumers seem to appreciate the
convenience and increasingly digital economy, a CBDC is a radical
change from using credit cards in an online banking app. CBDC,
we'll just call it digital currency would likely lead to

(05:25):
a cashless economy in which all financial tractions can be
monitored and controlled by government. A cashless economy would create
severe hardship for people who are homeless, technologically illiterate, or
without ready access to the internet. And think about if
the power shuts down, Just keep that in the back
of your mind. For Canadians who look after the finances electronically,

(05:48):
cash remains essential to protect their rights and freedoms, including
their privacy, security and autonomy, and a cashless economy. All
transactions are digital, subject to surveillance and ultimately subject to
government control. Digital currency opens the door for governments to
reward or penalize Canadians for the personal choices on how
to live, where to go, and what to do with

(06:09):
their own money. Governments can use digital currency to restrict when,
where and what people are allowed to buy, leading to
a level of control resembling Communist China's notorious social credit system,
where they use social credit to reward citizens who support
the Communist Party and its rules and policies. Those who
criticize the party can find themselves unable to order train,

(06:32):
plane or subway, denied a bank loan, or prevented from
enrolling their children of the best schools and universities. Scary stuff.
If I use cash to pay for my gas and
my car, then no bank, credit card company, or government
will know that I was. For example, at a shell
station on Southland, driving Calgary at eight forty five in
the morning on a Monday. Nor will anyone know that

(06:53):
how much I spent on gas that morning, other than
the gas station staff, who likely won't know my name.
Three hours later, I use cash to pay for a
meal at a restaurant in Edmonton. No corporation or government
will know that I traveled from Calgary to Edmonton that morning.
I don't have to be doing anything sinister or legal
in Edmonton to care about my privacy. Why should it
be subject to surveillance simply because I exist? The digital

(07:17):
currency is imposed and the economy goes cashless, government will
know at all times about every purchase, sale, investment, and
donation made by every Canadian or fill in the blank
government of choice. A government, once armed with this knowledge,
can exercise stringent and detailed control over many aspects of
the life of a citizen. Many Canadians don't care about

(07:37):
their privacy being violated when banks or credit card companies
acquire vast amounts of information about the habits, movements, and
preferences of consumers. However, governments are radically different from private
corporations by definition and by their very nature. Governments exercise
course of power over citizens using course of power is
good when governments enforce criminal code prohibitions against murder, theft,

(08:01):
and terrorism. However, governments can also use their course of
power to violate human rights, civil liberties, and constitutional freedoms,
always on the basis of some nice sounding pretext. Power
crupts and absolute power crups. Absolutely, Hence, our Constitution is
intended to protect citizens from tyranny. Some argue we will

(08:21):
never see communist Chinese social credit in Canada, but it
already happened here in February twenty twenty two, when the
federal government froze the bank accounts of hundreds of Canadians
who have not broken any law or committed any crime.
These Canadian citizens were punished by the state for having
donated money to a peaceful protest movement that was hated
by the Prime Minister of the day. They had no

(08:42):
opportunity to challenge, dispute or appeal the severe penalty which
government imposed on them without warning. Cash alone made it
possible for these victimized Canadians to buy groceries, pay their
heating bills in winter, and secure other necessities. If Canada's
economy had been cashless in February twenty to the government's
freezing on bank accounts would have inflicted far more harm.

(09:06):
Governments made the new COVID vaccine mandatory in twenty twenty one,
imposing the penalty of second class citizenship for non compliance.
Governments use QR codes to turn personal private medical records
into quasi public documents that needed to be shown to
complete strangers working at restaurants, gyms, and movie theaters. With

(09:26):
this track record of violating the privacy of citizens, why
would governments hesitate to control what Canadians spend their money?

Speaker 2 (09:33):
On?

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Theory, the digital currency can exist without governments violating human
lights and constitutional freedoms. And theory, they could be designed
without programmable restrictions, just like cash is printed without such restrictions.
After all, paper bills don't spontaneously combust when exchange for
the wrong kind of things. Likewise, the digital currency could

(09:57):
be designed to maximize the privacy of and autonomy of us.
But in practice, what government or what politician or bureaucrat
would resist the temptation to use a digital currency as
a tool to control citizens. If cash is out law
and replaced with a CBDC, the government has a powerful
tool to exercise ultimate and very intimate control over the

(10:18):
life of every Canadian. The digital dollar provides politicians, bureaucrats,
and bankers with intimate access to our inner lives. Therefore,
this digital currency poses a grave threat to Charter rights
and freedoms. It's up to Canadians to make CBDC an
issue in the coming election. Voters should urge their MPs
and their provincial representatives the pass laws that protect cash

(10:41):
and the right to use it. I just, you know,
I just contemplate the realities of all that every single
transaction you engage in monitored and controlled and subject to
the electric flip switch off. If your lords and masters
decide that you're engaged in something that they do not like.
And this has happened before. Banks have canceled bank accounts

(11:04):
because you're engaged in some activity. For example, the Obama
administration didn't like, or the Biden administration didn't like payday
cash loan operations, firearm manufacturers, firearms sales. Bank accounts close
shut down. Now, fortunately they still have cash and they
can still trade in cash. But if we lived under
a country that was controlled by a central bank, digital currency,

(11:26):
as many are trying to push for their lives, are
over their their businesses are over. It's done. It's toast.
Heaven forbid. You run a foul of what your lords
and masters and government want from you. Five sixteen fifty
five KRC Detalk Station. Thanks Againned Dave Hatter for providing
me another spring board off that epic Times article from

(11:49):
the Guardian five on three seven four nine fifty eight
two three takoby right back after.

Speaker 5 (11:54):
These words fifty five KRC.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
It's happy Monday if I went three seven two three
talk on five fifty on eighteen of t funk. You
know these craze leftists going after your tesla's and go
whatever happened to Green? I thought that Tesla was the
darling of the green people, the darling of the uh

(12:21):
you're responsible for, you know, the climate change. Get yourself
a tesla. Don't pollute the world. What are the most
popular cars around for a while now people are afraid
to drive them and own them because there's idiots out
there vandalizing them. I don't all because Elon Musk is

(12:45):
getting rid of fraud, waste and abuse in government, you're
attacking tesla's.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Now.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Elon must point out the the day that social security
is a Ponzi scheme. I think he's not the first
person to observe that. I know I've called it a
Ponzi scheme many times over the past couple of decades.
Because you read the information you know, whether it's from
the CBO or other observers of the situation with Social Security,
you realize at his house of cards, the money that
comes in goes immediately out to pay the benefits of

(13:20):
those who previously paid money in. That's the very definition
of a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme operates by taking
money from new investors to pay current investors. That is
the definition given by the SEC, and that's exactly how
Social Security operates. It is literally a definitional Ponzi scheme,

(13:50):
and it's kind of frightening when you really look at
the numbers. James Ragesti, president of the nonprofit research institute
Just Fact, speaking with Fox News, he explained that Social Security,
believed to be a target of must efforts at DOGE,
doesn't take our money and save it for us, as
many people believe, and then give it to us when
we are older, like many Americans believe. What it does.

(14:12):
It transfers money when we are young and working and
paying into Social Security taxes. That money, to ask Balk
of it, goes immediately out the door to people who
are currently receiving benefits. Just that now there is a
trust fund, but in ninety years of operation, that trust
fund currently has enough money to fund ready two years

(14:32):
of program operation. Trust fund only being able to last
two years is not a result of the fund being looted,
as he explained, but rather it was put in place
to put surpluses in it from money that Social Security
collects in taxes that it doesn't pay out immediately and
pays interest on the interest that's been paid on that

(14:52):
has been higher than the rate of inflation. So the
problem isn't that the trust fund has been looted. The
problem is that Social Security operates like a Ponzi scheme.
He also is concerned, express concerned over all of those
individuals over the age of one hundred and whether or
not the receiving payments or not. But he did remind
Fox when he was talking to him. So it's unclear

(15:13):
to me at this moment whether or not people who
are on the books actually receiving checks. Back during the
Obama administration, there was a stimulus, and the Obama administration
sent out stimulus text via text via Social Security numbers
to eighty thousand people who were dead at about seventy
thousand of them, of them the Social Security Administration knew

(15:35):
were dead. So I don't know if they've remedied the
situation since then, but clearly the system is not keeping
up with the pace of current data, and that provides
the opportunity for fraud. So let Lelon Musk go in
and get rid of the dead people. How is that
a threat to the Social security? To Social Security generally speaking,

(15:56):
he said, there's been a lot of information at that
of late you know, when Doge came in and suggested
that SOCA Security administration cut I think there was about
ten thousand workers. Democrats erupted that this was going to
weaken Social Security. But the fact of the matter is
that Social Security pays those workers who are for administrative
overhead from the Social Security Trust Fund. So by cutting

(16:19):
out the money that they're paying them, you actually strengthened
strengthen the program financially. You point out the current administrative
overhead for Social Security six point seven billion dollars per year,
enough to pay more than three hundred thousand retirees the
average old age benefit. Isn't that a good thing to
be able to pay them? That sounds like it's shoring

(16:42):
up things rather than you freaking out that, oh my god,
he's coming up to social Security once you look at
the reality of how it's set up and the eminent
collapse of Social Security absence something being done to reform
the program. This ergacy guy, if you feel, if you
get to give you a feel of how disconnected socias
security is from a fully funded pension plan. If to

(17:05):
keep the program solvent and put it on the same
firm financial footing as a real pension plan, brace yourself
for this, folks. It would require an extra two hundred
and seventy two thousand dollars in additional payroll taxes from
every person paying payroll taxes. Right now, I think you

(17:26):
got a problem on our hands, folks. And they're going
after Elon Musk for just pointing this stuff out, burning
up teslas and dealership shooting them up, committing acci terrorism
and vandalism and polluting the environment at the same time.
And I'm not talking about just taking a Tesla vehicle
off the road because it has zero missions. I'm talking

(17:46):
about the fires created when they light them on fire.
Get all those toxic battery fumes floating around. That's great
for the environment, great for the neighborhood. Makes you kind
of wonder whether they were really serious about their environment
environmental concerns, doesn't it. Twenty six local stories, including no,
you're not going to get reimbursed for the pothole damage
or the damage the pothole cause your car in the

(18:07):
city of Cincinnati. Unbelievable story locally here. We'll get to
that in a moment.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station Prohibition.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
It is five point thirty on a Monday. Very happy
one to you. Five one, three, seven, four nine fifty
hunty two three talk. I'll ask Mississippi James just to
pause for a minute because I want to get this
local story in, because it's been a regular topic of
conversation here locally in the city of Cincinnati about the
outrageous and terrible conditions of the roads. And we have
been told previously that you'll get reimbursed if your car

(18:37):
is damaged by one of the unrepaired potholes. Ah, thank you.
Rachel Hersheimer from WLWT Local five, reporting one hundreds people
have asked for help with damage from the pothole. City
of since A does allow people to report a pothole,
also allows people to submit a claim if they experience

(18:59):
damage from hit a pothole, but the city confirms nobody
has been reimbursed for a pothole. Clarissa Wright, interviewed, said
she ran over a pothole on West Mitchell Avenue and
Spring Gros saying I hit a pothole pretty hard as
one of the airbags didn't come out. Said everything just
fell down, that all the lights in the car came down,
my tire was my tires were deflating. She had a

(19:22):
flat tire pulled over I seventy five South towed to
a dealership. Total cost to her seven hundred and fifty bucks.
Submitted a reimbursement claim to the City of Cincinnati denied.
Email from the city quote the City of Cincinnati, by statute,
has certain immunities from liability for damage of this nature
regarding the pothole. ORC Section twenty seven forty four point
oh five limits claims to circumstances where the city is

(19:46):
proven to have had prior knowledge of the road condition.
Yet failed to act within a reasonable amount of time. Now,
as a lawyer, I would say proven that means the
obligation is on you to show the City of Cincinnati
knew about the pothole but didn't act. How would you
know if they knew? The city further wrote, both conditions
must be met. Therefore, most accidents caused by a pothole

(20:08):
in the City of Cincinnati are not likely eligible for
reimbursement under Ohio law. The search of records in the
City Service Requests database confirms that pothole repairs were completed
in this area and within a reasonable amount of time
from when they were first reported. City Cincinnati has not
demonstrated negligence in this case. Regrettably, we must deny your

(20:29):
request for damage claim reimbursement. Pursuing to Ohio law. No
reimbursement will be made in this case. This decision is final,
so don't the OLWT reached out of this for a
spokesperson in the City of Cincinnati. To date, they said
the city has received five hundred and sixty four requests
for reimbursement in twenty twenty five, while not all have

(20:51):
been reviewed. Thus far, none have been eligible for reimbursement.
The city says, qualifications remm burseman come down to state law.
I'll blame it on the state law. They'll go. WT
asked the city spokesperson if anyone was available to answer
more questions drivers have on this process. The city said

(21:13):
they do not have anyone to comment. Well, how convenient.
Let's gore to the phones to what Mississippi James, God James,
Happy Monday to you. Welcome back to the show.

Speaker 6 (21:22):
Same here, doctor Brian. I have a question for you.
What's the difference between a ponza scheme and a pyramid scheme?

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Hmm, well, you're throwing me a curveball on that one.

Speaker 7 (21:35):
I know.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Ponzi scheme pays the money out that comes in from
new investors immediately to prior investors. That's by definition of
Ponzi scheme. I'd have to look up pyramid scheme. I'm
sorry you caught me the loss. I'll blame the five
o'clock hour.

Speaker 6 (21:49):
One is illegal and another one is not. So when he
used the word Ponzi scheme, that's that's illegal. Yeah, a
pyramid scheme is illegal. Well, a pyramid and fed a
serve to use pyramids.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Now here's the quote. A pyramid scheme is a fraudulent
investment scheme where participants are primarily paid for recruiting new
members rather than selling products or services, ultimately collapsing when
there are no more new members to recruit. That was
the way Amway worked, if I recalled correctly. So they're
not necessarily legal in that regard, but it's not a

(22:25):
pyramid scheme. It's a Ponzi scheme. Definitionally speaking, the Social
Security program is a legally created by government pon ponzi scheme.
That's again the definition of it is you're paying the
money that new investors that will be workers paying into
Social Security, rather than having that money put away for

(22:46):
their future use and invested or otherwise, you know, at
least kept in an account. It's going immediately out the
door to pay for people who had already paid in
over their lives working. That's just that's your straightforward, plain
old ponzi. There's no extra money laying around to cover
the future obligations that they have incurred based on the
promises made by the Social Security administration.

Speaker 6 (23:09):
Okay, and second, he probably should have came out with
a surgical knife instead of a change saw.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
I'm sticking hearing that chainsaw stuff. He is pretty much
using a surgical knife. Now they've had to backpedal some
of the cuts they've made, but overall he has saved
us a lot of money. And yes, they've gotten rid
of unnecessary employees. That's the point of it. Our government's
too blowed. It's got too many people, and it blew
up in terms of the number of hires during the
Biden administration. If you look at who got hired across

(23:38):
the board, the vast majority of new jobs went too
government workers. Did we really need them? Were we've fallen
behind in government obligations prior to this massive influx of
new personnel, not that I recall.

Speaker 6 (23:51):
And third point, he probably should have found another way
to show his admiration for America instead of his semi
Hitler salute.

Speaker 8 (24:00):
Time.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
God, you're not James, You're smarter than that. There's been
so many pictures of so many people in the in
the Democrat Party and other folks holding their hand up.
You take a picture of it. They weren't saluting in
Nazis style. It wasn't a reference to Adolf Hitler in
the in the National Socialist Party, it was just a
hand gesture while they were busy waving their hands around

(24:22):
and talking. I bet you know, over your lifetime, I
bet you could have had a picture taken to you
doing the same thing, and you had probably been pretty
pissed off of someone called you a Nazi merely because
you were captured in an instant of time with your
hand in that position. I mean, that's been widely that's
been widely debunked. The guy's not a Nazi. Read the
definition of Nazis. You know he's not.

Speaker 6 (24:44):
We can frame it anyway we choose, I know.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
You know what, Yeah, well, framing in a way, framing
in a way that's accurate. And don't buy into this
propaganda that Elon Musk is a Nazi. There's a picture
of Alexandri Casio Cortez doing the same thing. Are you
gonna call her a Nazi too? Because they captured her
on film with her hand and what appears to be
a Nazi salute and.

Speaker 6 (25:07):
Probably to call him a Nazi. I did not call
him a Nazi. You missing my point? You taking an
araka and run and with it. I said he'd probably
been better served if he'd found him another way to
show his admiration for the America system by weighted.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
He waved. I mean he he was captured midwave. Okay,
I meanspoint you want to no, No, I mean that's
the reality if you saw the live footage of that.
That's why this whole thing about him saluting a Nazi
style has been debunked. It was a moment in time
freeze frame capture of his hand gestures that were moving

(25:43):
all over the place, So it can't be framed any
other way than it's been taken out of context that
that was a Nazi salute. That's my point. Appreciate the call,
James as always five point thirty eight. Here fifty five
KRC Detalk station five on three seven fifty two to
three Talk pun five fifty on AT and T phone
stack of stupid coming up.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
This is fifty five KARC an iHeartRadio stations Starry forty one.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
On a Monday and help you one to you five
caarsee dot com whenever you can't listen to Tech Friday
with Dave hat or you want to hear what Corey
Bowman had to say last week, or you want to
get to the Shoemakes series of books. The Dark World
Saga trilogy. It's all right there. If you have cars
dot Com, why are there? Get your Heart media app
so you can listen to the audio in all the
iHeart content wherever you happen to be, regardless of where

(26:28):
you happen to be. Let's see here, speaking of chainsaws,
why not start here in the stack of stupid. We've
got an Illinois police officer shot and killed a man
who was wielding a chainsaw in a nursing home. Why
are you doing that? Daniel H. Escalera shot and killed
inside the Saint Charles, Illinois nursing home December first, last year,

(26:49):
while wielding a chainsaw and asking for his wife. Forty
year old man from Stockwell, Indiana, reports that officials still
do not understand why he was at the Illinois nursing home.
According to Kane County Sheriff's Office attorney in a statement,
officials examined body worn camera audio and video recording, statements
from witnesses to the events, and physical evidence from the

(27:11):
scene of the shooting, and the results of the autopsy,
and based on the investigation, state's attorney's office found no
wrongdoing on the part of the officers, and the review
of the matter is now considered close. Witness called nine
one one after Escalera entered the senior living home with
the chainsaw. Body camera footage shows the first officer took
out a taser when he first encountered Escalera while Esclaire

(27:37):
entered a cafeteria with multiple elderly residents inside. Escalaire was
briefly knocked down by the taser, but got back up,
grabbed the chainsaw, and ran at the officer, who then
shot him with a device. Officer evaded the cafeteria went
back to the hot lobby to regroup with another officer.
As they tried to confront escala again. Escalaire then held

(27:58):
the chainsaw over his head and charged toward the officer.
One of the officers then shot him twice, missing both
times whoops. Third shot hit Esclaire in the left arm
as he fled the room states to talk attorney's office.
Press Leers release said once reaching the hallway, Escalara stopped

(28:18):
to the immediate right of an elderly resident in a wheelchair,
turned toward the officers, and held his hands forward in
a position which appeared to imitate holding a firearm. The
officer fired a fourth shot, hitting Escallera in the chest.
That was the fatal shot. He was pronounced dead. Toxicology
report showed Escallera had the presence of mphetamines, meth n fetamines,

(28:41):
and olanzipine in his system. No doubt, Joe, I didn't
know what it is either. Lanzapine as a drug used
to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia. So presumably a schizophrenic
on n fetamines and methan fetamines. That's a bad combo argue,
At least it sounds like it. You might grab a

(29:03):
chainsaw and run into an elderly nursing home if you
had on that in your system. State's Attorney's Office included
the Saint Charles police officer had the reasonable belief that
the deadly force he employed wasn't necessary to prevent death
or great bodily harm to himself and other individuals. True, now,
who could argue with that? Forty five ifty five carecy

(29:25):
the talk station? More stupid coming up? Hope you can
stick around right back? Fifty five the talk station.

Speaker 9 (29:31):
Did you know even the smallest increase in mortgage rates
can cost you thousands?

Speaker 1 (29:36):
It is five forty nine and it's happy Monday to you.
I'm gonna go over to the phones here before I
get back to the stack as stupid, and I'll take
Luke's call. Luke, thanks for calling this morning. I hope
you're having a decent Monday so far.

Speaker 6 (29:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (29:48):
Hey, we're just getting start of your head into work.
So in reference to Mississippi, James, I'm a Trump supporter.
I've been a Trump supporter for some time now, since
his first presidency. I don't know exactly what address it was.
I've been I've been supporting a long.

Speaker 6 (30:04):
Musk for some time.

Speaker 10 (30:06):
But when I'm watching that, whatever address it was, he
made a heck of a hand gesture. I know he's
not a Nazi because you'd have to be in Germany
and the late thirties, early forties. He's not a Nazi,
that shit. That word is so misused, but he certainly
made a heck of a hand jesture. I'll give him
a simmy James, And I don't know how you want
to say picture. I'm watching him live address when it happened,

(30:27):
and when I saw him do it my own health, Belisa,
my first initial thought was out of the old hand, Jester,
and that's all I got to say.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Not fair enough, But I guess you have to put
it in context. Has he ever uttered things that are
Nazi like? Has he ever, you know, maybe he suggested
rounding up the Jews and killing them. Has he advocated
for the tenets of national socialism? No, So, you know,

(30:54):
regardless of how and under what circumstances it happened, since
he doesn't advocate for things Nazi and has never been
that way, he has a well an easily reviewable record
in terms of politics of what he's done throughout his life.
Means the label just doesn't apply. So, you know, we

(31:16):
live in a We live in a social media world
here where anything can be place, A label can be
placed on anything. You ever heard of a meme? Yeah,
the means go viral. Look, Elon Musk is doing a
Nazi salote? Is he really? How about some contacts for
that one?

Speaker 10 (31:31):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Notorious killer serving life in prison without the possibility of
parole for the murder of four men in Los Angeles
County strangled his wife to death during a conjugal visit.
This happened late last year, and no question about that.
David Brinson was serving four consecutive life sentences, most recently

(31:52):
The place called Mule Creek State Prison in north northern
California's Mdor County, also now accused of killing his wife.
Conjugal visits referred to there as family visits. Yeah, jail,
you got that right. Held in a private apartment like
facility on prison grounds. Visits restricted to immediate family members,

(32:14):
including legal spouses, parents and children. They last between thirty
to forty hours. What that was my reaction officials with
the California Department of cresh and set. Around two am
November thirteenth last year, Benson told police officers his wife's
sixty two year old Stephanie Brinson, had passed out. Prison

(32:37):
staff attempted life saving measures, but she was declared dead
about three am. Quarter of the reporting from the Independent
County Corners confirmed some four months after her death that
she was in fact strangled. At his trial for the sentencing,
He was sentenced to prison back in nineteen ninety four
for the June nineteen ninety murders of four men in

(32:58):
Los Angeles, including a retired tavern overname owner tavern owner
named Robert Marx. Witness has testified Brinson believed the former
tavern owner was a well connected cocaine dealer when he
showed up at Mark's garage apartment with a gun and
two accomplices hoping to rob Marks for drugs and money.
Witness has testified that Brenson, after searching the apartment and

(33:19):
finding only a little bit of marijuana, shot Marks and
three other men execution styled as they lay face down
on the floor of the bedroom, hence his four consecutive
life prisons. Geez all right, listeners, know my dog lover
and Joe get ready to issue an award, because we've

(33:42):
got an award to hand out here this morning we
got to Orlando, Florida. A woman drowned her dog in
an a Florida Airport bathroom and then boarded her international
flight after she was prevented from bringing the white miniature
schnauzer with her because of a paperwork issue. Arrested in
Lake County Wednesday charge of aggravated animal abuse, third degree felony,

(34:04):
she was released on five thousand dollars bail or led.
The police said this act was intentionally resulted in a
cruel and an unnecessary death of the animal. Investigation to
the death of a nine year old schnauzer named Taiwin
started in December. Janitor found the dog in a trash
bag in a bathroom with the stall in the international airport.
He had earlier seen the woman in the stall cleaning

(34:24):
up water and dog food from the stall's floor. Janitor
got pulled away for a cleanup emergency, showed up back
to the bathroom twenty minutes later, and that's when she
found Taiwan in the trash container, along with a companion
vest collar, rabies tag, dog travel bag, and a bone
shaped dog tag with a woman's name and phone number
on it. Surveillance cameras captured the woman speaking for fifteen

(34:45):
minutes to the airline's agent with the dog, walking to
the bathroom near the tickting area with the dog, and
exiting the bathroom without the dog twenty minutes later. Woman
then went outside the terminal building, re entered a short
time later, went through security boarded the Columbia bound plane.
Thorty said the woman had been told she couldn't bring
the dog aboard because she did not have the proper paperwork.
According to the US Department of Agriculture, dogs coming in

(35:07):
from the US to Columbia must be accompanied by a
veteran is or veterinarian issued health certificate and rabies vaccine certificate.
Dog identified by its implanted microchip, and a net cropsy
determined Taiwan had been drowned. US Customs Border Protection also
confirmed two detectives that the woman had boarded the flight
to Bogota, Columbia, and then flew to Ecuador. Let her

(35:29):
have it, Joe.

Speaker 11 (35:31):
Aeris the biggest douche of the universe, in all the galaxies.
There's no bigger douche than you. You've reached the top,
the pinnacle of douche.

Speaker 4 (35:44):
Do good going, douce.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Can your dreams have come true? That's just horrific? Five
point fifty five five K see talk station uh full
our open conversation. Feel free to columns here that are
of the topics I would love to hear from you.
I'll be right back. Joe says no more on Nazi salutes.
Joe's added up to his eyeballs on that one. Fair enough.

(36:10):
Joe exercises editorial discretion because he's the one, is the
call screener. Thank you, Joe, stick around me back after
the news.

Speaker 4 (36:18):
Covering Trump's first one hundred days.

Speaker 6 (36:20):
Every day, America's deadline is over.

Speaker 4 (36:24):
Fifty five krs the talk station. Do you have a
massive I.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Fifty five car sees me talk station, Happy Monday, Brian
Thomas welcoming phone calls five hundred seven nine fifty five

five fifty on AT and T phones, fifty five care
sea dot com. Get your podcasts in my conversation with
Corey Bowman. Of course, running from there, there's a debate
this week with the tab Pervall and others. Steve Schumach's

(36:50):
got a new trilogy series out, or at least he
has a new third version of the trilogy series. It's
called The Dark World Saga apparently has a lot of
religious overtones, but this fantasy series. And he's a local
author and his wife renowned for being a pioneer in homeschooling,
Ta Shue make she's a wonderful lady. So he married,

(37:10):
and he out kicked his coverage with Tea and he
Hey Tech Friday with Dave Hatter and thanks again to
Dave for a passing along the information about the digital
cryptocurrencies and the idea that we should be able to
have some cash to spend money on talked about that
in the opening segment Last Hour. Let us see here
coming up seven twenty with a former vice mayor of

(37:31):
the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smith Aman with a Smith
event we got to Empower you seminar to talk about
with Mark or Scott Zimmerman. It's taking place March twenty fifth,
Blue Lights and Human Health. So if that doesn't sound
like it rings a bell to you, I mean your
category either. It's also I have to read the materials,
but that's all. We'll have Scott for to tell us

(37:51):
all about it at eight forty So lots of free
time to talk with you. If you care to call
and make a comment, I would love that. Let us
see here, you know which direction to go this morning?
Some pulling information out. It's rather interesting now while everybody

(38:14):
screams and yells about Elon Musk and Donald Trump, and
actually Elon Musk is getting more press and criticism and
actually praise in some cases than Donald Trump. But you know,
Donald Trump is the initiator, and of course DOGE is
the entity that's looking for fraud, waste and abuse, and
I applaud that effort. We're finding out, you know, and
it's a real eye opening thing, especially with USAID how

(38:38):
much of that money loops back to support left wing
causes quite a bunch. And I saw this article over
on zero Hedge is apparently a data analyst out there,
Tony Saruga, and he made a post on X the
other day which is really eye opening in a couple
of levels. First, there's the privacy l and it's this

(39:00):
is kind of reflective of the kind of thing that
Dave hat Or talks about all the time. You know,
your devices are tracking you, your devices are watching you,
your devices are recording what you are. But then also
that social media aggregation and the aggregation of all this
data on you, and so in so far as these
Democrat rallies are concerned, and oh my god, thirty four

(39:20):
thousand people out in Denver, largest political rally there since
two thousand and eight, screens US Senator Bernie Sanders, this
sort of organic, you know, resistance to Donald Trump, anti oligarchy,
no oligarchy, no to trump Ism. I don't sure what
they're offering by way of alternative. And there's some polling

(39:41):
data out there that indicates the Democrats themselves don't know
what they want to do. Do we shift further left
and embrace the far left wing of the party. Do
we embrace the moderates in the party. They're kind of
divided down the center on which direction to go. But
with that in mind, there was this big rally out there.
You may have even read about it. So in Tony Sigura,
the data analyst, apparently revealing how much information they've got

(40:03):
about out there, he said there were twenty and eighty
nine devices meaning cell phones. Basically still a large crowd
and not even close to the thirty thousand quoted by
the Denver newspapers of the thirty four thousand quote by
Bernie Sanders. So some argument over how many people actually
showed up, But the real fun fact startup when he
started revealing the number crunching that we're done. Eighty four

(40:25):
percent of the devices presented had attended nine or more
Kamala Harris rallies, Antifat, slash BLM, pro Hamas pro Palestinian protests.
Thirty one percent of the folks there had attended over
twenty of these rallies. Huh, same folks showing up being
toted around to these to show up at these rallies,

(40:48):
he said, for more insight, into what data we also
looked at In addition to GPS location data would be
demographic and psychographic data using over six thousand different database
And this again goes back to what Dave always talking about,
I e. Like the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Pew Research Center,
market research firms like you gov experience specialized tools like

(41:11):
esri's Tapestry segmentation. No, I don't know what that is either,
consumer survey, social media platforms like as Facebook and LinkedIn.
Demographic data includes basic characteristics like age, gender, income, education level, occupation,
marital status, family size, ethnicity, and where people live like

(41:31):
city and state. All this data compiled in your own
personal dossier basically, and they can cross reference it. Once
they figure out where you are from a GPS signal,
then they can determine who you are and understand all
this information. Now moving over to what he car described
as psychographic data, he writes it dives deeper into people's lifestyles, values, attitudes, interests, personality, traits,

(41:56):
social class, activities, and how they make purchasing the decisions.
For example, it might show if someone values sustainability, enjoys
outdoor activities, participates in community activism. He wrote, while democratic
data is straightforward, psychographic data can reveal sensitive personal details
like beliefs even life goals. Additionally, by cross pollinating each

(42:22):
device with other devices regularly within close proximity to the
target device, really able to build a detailed profile of
each target. Ninety percent of those in the above eighty
four percent, the folks that had attended all these events
multiple times were likely working with one of these five groups,

(42:44):
and it is the reason for their presence. Once again,
this is based on very sophisticated algorithm that looks at
the behavioral metrics for each device, including the physical one
to one proximity to leaders and paymasters from these groups
in the past. And here's the groups he identifies. Eruption Project,
Rise and Resist, Individual Project, Troublemakers, and the Democratic Socialists

(43:10):
of America each receives money from Act Blue and at
least three via usaid. Ah, there's the connection, he said.
Disruption Project legal status is unclear, likely operating illegally his conclusion,

(43:31):
and I don't know upon what he based that. I'll
admit that Rise and Resist is a five O one
C four nonprofit individual project. Also five A one C
four nonprofit trouble Makers legal status is for profit Democratic
Socialists of America. I'm not sure that one. So is

(43:53):
it an organic gathering of people who were drawn to
hear Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ziocortes talking about no oligachriy,
no to authoritarianism, no to trump Ism. Or is this
paid organization basically relying upon your taxpayer dollars as funnel
through groups like USAID, or maybe even just a check

(44:14):
written from George Soros's pocket, which he's allowed to do.
I mean, George Soros can spend his money however he once.
But the idea that USAID has been used to undermine
conservative ideology, Libertarian ideology has been used to support left
wing causes, promote and pump up something that clearly is
not popular among the American people, like DEI CRT and

(44:36):
the the left wing transgender agenda. Perhaps this is the problem.
And if you wonder why they're pulling their hair out,
why these organizations, And I'm going to suggest that these
tesla attacks not just sort of you know, one off
people getting a wild hair and seeing a tesla and

(44:56):
decide to shoot it up with a firearm. That's somewhere
behind This seems one of these organizations is pushing for
this and encouraging it and coordinating it, which is going
to give rise to a RICO count. You know, Bondi
has said that we're going to prosecute you folks to
the fullest extent of the law, and to the extent
they can draw a line between any one of these
organizations and organized criminality. That is RICO two or more

(45:22):
people engaged in conspiracy to commit organized crime. It is
organized when you are organizing it, and this is criminal behavior.
And I got a big kick out of the fact
that Elon Musk's vehicles they've got a security feature and
that you can operate and of course, you know people
who owned Teslas know that they have cameras in them,

(45:46):
a multiple cameras. So there's a thing called Centry mode.
And if you want to make sure your car isn't attacked,
and if it is attacked, that you can capture and
identify the people who attacked your car, just turn on
the Sentry mode. It keeps the cameras and sensors the
vehicle powered on and ready to record suspicious activity when
it happens. Corner the manual for the Tesla three. You

(46:07):
think a Center Mode as an intelligent vehicle security system
that alerts you when it detects possible threats nearby. Tesla
vehicles with Center Mode activated will pulse the headlights, sound
the alarm, and display message on the touch screens. Seeing
the cameras may be recording as a warning to those
outside the vehicle if a threat is detected to the
sensors pick up what it is described as jerky movements

(46:29):
like being towed or shaken. It also saves the footage.
It reports the information to the owner's Tesla mobile app
and saves the footage in the event of the event
under a USB drive if installed in the vehicle. So
the only thing is your battery has to be powered
at least twenty percent to make it work when the

(46:49):
car is turned off. So there's an option for Tesla
owners out there, and I just find it absolutely open
on so many levels for all these former environmentalists to
be burning Teslas and attacking them merely because Elon Musk
is trying to save us from ourselves. Ah, I feel

(47:10):
free to call love to hear from somebody five and
three seven four nine fifty five hundred. I got to
wait for Christopher's Smithman to show up at seven twenty.
QC Kinetics maybe the group of your pain. They offer
a free consultation to find out if these natural regenitive
medicine therapies can help you get rid of your arthritic
pain and provide you with lasting relief without drugs and

(47:31):
surgery and downtime. It's in office procedure. So if you're
having problems like, for example, picking up the kids, sleeping, walking,
your day to day movement has been impacted by the pain,
You're not interested in having surgery because it comes with
uncertainty as well as a long recovery time. Maybe you've
talked to your doctor about that angle and you miss

(47:51):
doing things that you love like walking and goffing, maybe
picking up the grandchildren, anyone that happens to be. So
if it's yes, any of the four going, you may
be a great candidates to find out from the people
of QC Kinetics by taking advantage of the free consultation.
Tens of thousand people thousands of people nationally have gotten
relief from their pain with QC Kinetics regenitive treatment. So

(48:12):
here's the number to call schedule that free appointment. Five one, three, eight,
four seven, zero zero one nine five one three eight
four seven zero zero one nine one more time five
one three eight four seven zero zero one nine fifty
five KRC dot Com Tyler six twenty two, fifty five
KRCD Talk Station. What are from now? A little lesson

(48:34):
now hopefully seven twenty with Christopher Smithing and then we'll
find out what blue Light and human health is all
about at eight forty in the meantime over the phones
and God bless west Side Jim Keefer saving me from
myself on a Monday as I try to wake up
Wes Saie. Jim, thank you for calling this morning.

Speaker 6 (48:52):
He shall a little desperate with hit test.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
I you know, I hate and I hate sounding that way,
but you know there's some I just don't like this
sound my own voice. And I don't know if I'm
handing out information that's valuable people or not. But I
know there's a million topics out there, and I, of
course I left of my discretion, it would go down whatever
road I choose to. But I like hearing from my
callers and you know, wanting to know what there's, what's
on their mind and sometimes interesting and sometimes enlightening and

(49:16):
sometimes informative but you know somebody else's voice sometimes like me, yeah, exactly,
and we never know which direction you're going to go.

Speaker 8 (49:24):
Jim, Well, I've got one this morning that you can
maybe help me out on. And I know you dabble
in the political field, but I got something that hit
me over the weekend and has really been bugging the
heck out of me. Trying and keep it clean so
you don't have to hit that dumb button. Well, like
when Corey was on, that was kind of he was

(49:44):
so bad.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Oh my god, you look on his face.

Speaker 6 (49:48):
He said, he's got to learn the rules.

Speaker 8 (49:50):
But I think there's a false platform and maybe you
can either argue with me on this or not with
There's two Republicans and a Democrat for mayor and this
is a there's a seven o'clock debate tomorrow night. Is
a cove Del Theater up on Glenway, right up from
prysl Chile, open to the public and open to the public,

(50:11):
and I'm sure it's going to be packed. But they
do take written questions, but they only usually take two
or three from the crowd. Most of the time it's
ahead of time and then they you know, kind of
go through. But anyway, there might be some shenanigans going
on because this one of our Republican candidates, and he

(50:32):
back in somewhere around twenty sixteen twenty seventeen started donating
money to Democrats and so forth, and he did actually
pull Republican ballots. But now in twenty twenty three, it's
been out now that he has pulled Democratic ballance ballots.
I'm sorry to vote in city elections. And that just

(50:56):
kind of gets to me because there's been rumors behind
the scenes that, you know, Corey's a great candidate, especially
for the Republican side, a breath of fresh air that
we haven't had in a long time. And I'm kind
of feeling that I'm not going to use the word
plant per se, but I don't know if there's something
going on that they're so afraid of Corey Bowman that

(51:20):
they have to actually push And I know he's been
the other gentleman has been talked to about possibly moving
over to the city council race, and that way we
wouldn't have the primary for the mayor and just let
Corey and Purval go after each other, right, which I
think is going to happen anyway, But it takes away
from the Republican as far as donor money and everything else.

(51:44):
But I just got a feeling that there's something going
on the word the man pulls twenty twenty three ballots
for the Democrats, Why what reasoning? And I'm going to
submit that question tomorrow and I and see if they
number one, if they produce it to him, and number two,
if he'll answer it correctly. Because he's been to our
club a couple of times and talked, and none of

(52:07):
the city subjects have come up about purval. He doesn't
talk about it. He doesn't say anything you know, negative, or.

Speaker 6 (52:14):
Brings it up.

Speaker 8 (52:15):
He has talked just real quick about a pothole situation.
But I just have real questions and a real funny
feeling that something's going on here behind the scenes from
the Democratic Party that that is trying to maybe knock
Cory out, which I don't think is.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
Going to happen. Well, see, that was what I was
going to go. Cory's got pretty good name recognition, he's
you know, got He's been out meeting all kinds of
Republicans I think he has. He stands a much much
higher likelihood of winning the primary. This is the top
two vote getters is going to be a have to
have provol and probably Corey Bowman, which means the other
guy is not going to be a contender and can't

(52:53):
split the race when it comes into November or it
comes to the election, right.

Speaker 8 (52:58):
I just don't know understand, And you know, I've been
around politics for a week or two and I just
don't understand why this is being important. Maybe it's just
because my foil hat's getting on there too tight, but
I just don't understand why this is happening.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
I have no explanation for that either. Gem It's as
puzzling to me as it is to you, especially for
a guy who's not on political solid ground, given him
going back and forth between the Democrat support and Republican support,
I don't know how in this day and age you
can run that way. I mean, it doesn't depend which
side of the bet he gets out of the morning,
whether he's a Republican or Democrat. I have no willing

(53:35):
of answering this questions. It always appeared to me to
be really strange though that that information is out there
and exists, and a lot of his ex account, you know,
blurbs also show strong support for some rather controversial Democrat candidates,
at least I would call them controversial, like.

Speaker 8 (53:52):
You Bet Simpson in the payoffs and others.

Speaker 6 (53:55):
Yeah, but it is.

Speaker 8 (53:57):
I just wanted your opinion on a radio so people
could actually hear it. Maybe don't go on X or
hear things like this.

Speaker 6 (54:04):
I wanted them to.

Speaker 8 (54:04):
And if they have to vote in the city, I
want this kind of information out there to make them
go hmm, maybe something is going on and maybe Corey,
if they were going back and forth through to vote
for maybe that will push him over his side for sure.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
Well, Corey's promised to start, I mean, if he wins
the primary, he's promised that he will thoroughly engage Democrats
and thoroughly get out of the neighborhoods that have been
ill served by the Democrats who've been running the city
for the last several decades. And right now his focus
is on interacting with Republicans who will be the one
that will decide whether they're going to vote for him
or somebody else on the in the primary. And I

(54:40):
think if he does that, this type of information that
you are aware of and your fellow engaged Republicans are
already aware of will ensure that Corey does win the primary.

Speaker 6 (54:51):
Let's hope.

Speaker 1 (54:51):
So let's keep spreading the word. Jim. That's what you're
that's the role that you've got and we certainly appreciate
it out here in the world. Thanks for staying on
top of the matters, Jim. I do a pree shade
hearing from you today. As always, New Hampshire garries up next,
New Hampshire if you want to hang on for a
moment five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred,
eight hundred and eighty two to three talk. You know
a Sabri Group of Caloriam seven Hills. I've regularly stated,

(55:12):
and I mean it absolutely and with the utmost sincerity,
only real estate team I would consider hiring of I
was going to buy or sell a home. I know
Peter and I've met many of the agents on his team.
They are superior quality agents. Peter's a genius at what
he does and he's extemied. He's has just assembled this
such wonderful team and they know how life can change

(55:32):
really quickly. One of the programs they offered lets you
skip the hassle of the traditional sales process. Sabri Group
can make a cash offer within forty eight hours of
seeing your home, which means you can close as quickly
as fourteen days after that start to finish. The whole
processes over in virtually no time, and it can happen
that fast. So if you have a property you need
to unload in a hurry, get in touch with the

(55:53):
Sabrine Group to do that. Call them five one three
seven zero eight three thousand. Out to them on the
website seven zero eight three thousand dot com, Schabrie spelled
cha b rs. Find your search engine type in Schabri
group and you'll find them right there as well. Tell them,
Brian said, I when you get in touch with.

Speaker 10 (56:12):
Them, fifty five krc the talk station three fifty five
KRCD talk station going to go jump straight to the
phones and thank you for the calls.

Speaker 1 (56:22):
Apologies for sending a little bit desperate on this. I
did not have a great weekend for reasons that I
have no idea, and I'm still have a sense of
just sort of being out of place this morning, just
I don't know, it's just like this weird. I don't
want to say bad mood, but my wife even noticed
and asked me about it because there's something wrong. I'm like, yes,
yes there is, and I have no idea what, and
trust me, it's not you. So probably for apologies for

(56:44):
the carryover, and I hate to bring whatever is bothering
me the fifty five KRC morning show, but at least
I'm providing you with an explanation for my well, my
behavior this morning. Anyhow, New Hampshire, Gary, thanks for calling
this morning, and a happy Monday to you.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
All is well with Jesus, per fith In Jesus, everything
will be better.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
Brian, I can use them around here to lay hands
right now.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
O'say, Brian, You're deeply loved here. I can tell you
we really there's a whole group. I know for sure
that I appreciate you. I appreciate that man, very thankful.
We're not going to let you retire ever anyhow And anyhow,
so I was I talked to a lot of people

(57:30):
up here in New Hampshire and we're in southern New
Hampshire near Boston. I guess sixty miles it's about thirty
miles too close.

Speaker 12 (57:38):
But there's there's a lot of you just you talk
to people and you're like, what are you taking? What
are you thinking.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
And a lot of them are really thinking that, you know,
Tesla bad Elon Moss really bad for exposing the government corruption.
And they really believe that because to them it's there.
It's almost like it is a religion that government shall

(58:15):
take care of you. And I suppose that a lot
of them are being taken care of because I know
where I work, the engineering department, mostly well educated engineers
that went to really good schools. They're all in their thirties,
none of them are married, none of them have children,

(58:36):
and all of them pledge their loyalty to government and
really the you know, they're they're all Bernie Sanders accolytes.

Speaker 13 (58:45):
For the most part.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
And we've got a couple that AOC would be perfectly
fine with. And you know, I guess they're student loans.
They're the hand that feeds them is all ti up
in government and like they could care less about their
social security. They're like it's always going to be there, yes,

(59:07):
And they really have no sense of money. They're because
they're all socialists. Most are socialists, not all, but most
are socialists, and they really thrive on this, you know,
live and party today. And they to me, they seem
they seem a little lost.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
You know, well, I guess they fail to look behind
the veneer of their socialist ideology to appreciate that it
collapses upon itself. It's like the information I've provided earlier
about the Social Security situation. You know, it's by definition,
it's literally a Ponzi scheme. All the money that comes
in is going right out the door to pay for

(59:48):
those who put in money into the program. There's no
trust fund out there that has all of this money
in that can you know, satisfy the promises made by government.
And it's collapsing. And people have been talking about this
for the last fifteen to twenty years at least, you know,
and the government's own records reflected and you know, Elon
Musk says it out loud, and people accuse him of

(01:00:09):
wanting to get rid of Social Security. He's like, wait
a second, I'm just trying to save it, you know,
and you get mad at him for that. I think
their ideology blinds them to the fiscal problems that this creates.
It's a you know, I just have no other way
of explaining it. You know. Maybe it is like religion.

(01:00:30):
You're talk about having faith in Jesus. You know, you
have to have that leap of faith and they have
a leap of faith that socialism is going to ultimately
work when every time it's been tried it has been
an absolute miserable failure for the financial implications and reasons
that it brings about. You know, it's sad, It's really
really sad. And you know, man diagnosable, you know, psychological

(01:00:53):
problem or something. Gary Todd hang on amount of time
in the segment, but I really truly want to talk
to you. So if you don't mind holding for just
a couple minutes here six thirty eight fifty five K
City Talk station, I can give you an opportunity to
save money affordable imaging services where you do not have
to pay the outrageous price that the hospital imaging department
charges you for echo cardiograms and MRIs and CT scans
and ultrasounds and the like. They use the same kind

(01:01:15):
of equipment that hospitals use, operated by medical professionals. Have
been doing this for decades. I've had several scans. There
absolutely no problem from my doctor's perspective. The board certified
radiologist report comes in the low price that they charge you.
There's little overhead there, But what do you need metal
sculpt or, you know, beautiful marble sculptures and water features
and all the overhead. No, they got low overhead, same equipment.

(01:01:38):
You get your image, You get your report within forty
eight hours, so does your doctor. And it will work,
and it'll be cheap. Cheap by comparison, five hundred dollars
for an echo cardigram thirty five hundred at a hospital.
Could be a little bit more, could be at a
little bit less, but we're talking five hundred versus thousands.
And that's the same thing across the board. And speaking
of deco cartograms, it's your heart health of issue here.

(01:01:58):
They'll get you right. In affordable imaging. You may have
to wait a few weeks to a month at a
hospital imaging department. Don't pay four thousand for an MRI,
get one for four hundred and ninety five dollars at
affordable imaging services. See the scans, ultra scowns, lung screenings,
and cardiac scorings a fraction. You have choice when it
comes to your medical care. Exercise it and be happy
you save that much money. Five one three seven five

and a happy Monday to you, sir Brian.

Speaker 15 (01:03:36):
Top of the money too.

Speaker 7 (01:03:37):
You.

Speaker 16 (01:03:37):
I'm passing positive.

Speaker 17 (01:03:38):
Modio over to you, brother, appreciate it.

Speaker 16 (01:03:41):
Yeah, everybody, yeah, every day, every now and then, you
need a little pick me up, right, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03:45):
And I don't know if it's because I feel like
I need a vacation or I just I don't know.
I just I was in just a foul mood over
the weekend for no reason. I couldn't put my finger
on it again. My wife noticed it, and I just
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 16 (01:04:00):
You know, listen, even the most positive people pill you know,
you're going to have those kind of days. A wes
is just going to happen. So hey, I was calling
about this is our lucky day. President Trump is going
to privatize the post Office. I mean, what an abomination.
You know, these people are the same people that think
Social Security is going to last. Their pension is going
to last through the rest of their lives. You know,

(01:04:21):
I mean, do I need mail six times a week?

Speaker 2 (01:04:24):
No?

Speaker 16 (01:04:25):
What's in the mail?

Speaker 4 (01:04:26):
Junk mail?

Speaker 16 (01:04:27):
I mean, Brian, how many companies could lose eight to
ten billion dollars a year for ten years and stay
in business.

Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
None?

Speaker 16 (01:04:35):
So, thank the Lord, we have people like Trump, who's
a businessman that knows it can't survive.

Speaker 1 (01:04:41):
Well, at least, you know, they could relax in the
rules in terms of the ones they've got in place
that have been a preventative have been preventing rather fixes
to the post office business model. The post Office should
have the flexibility of any other organization to hire people,
fire people, change the businesiness model and practices. And there's

(01:05:02):
an article a Postal Service cut fifty million work hours,
closed a bunch of facilities and saved billions of dollars.
They've been engaged in this ten year action plan called
Delivering for America, and it's actually bearing a little bit
of fruit. They're still losing billions of dollars annually, but
it sounds like that they're at least trying to take
some steps in the right direction. But as the article

(01:05:23):
points out the problem is they are prevented not only
by the union and the collective bargaining agreement with the
Post Office, but by the rules that are in place
from Congress, which prevent them from implementing some substantial changes
to their business model.

Speaker 16 (01:05:37):
It's well, that gets back to the whole Republican Democrats
can't work together, and so on and so forth.

Speaker 17 (01:05:44):
But I just I'm glad he's going to I hope
it works.

Speaker 16 (01:05:47):
Like I said, it's just another bloated government agency with union.

Speaker 7 (01:05:51):
And I don't really think against.

Speaker 16 (01:05:52):
Unions because I think some companies try to scrup people.
So I've never been in the union, but I've been
wrapping laid off. But at the end of the day,
you cannot run a business losing eight to ten million
dollars a year. And I just it's it's twenty twenty
five nine, nineteen seventy where we need mail delivered every day.

Speaker 15 (01:06:08):
Yeah, so hey, I'll let you go.

Speaker 17 (01:06:10):
I'll do a great week.

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
Scott This morning, Tom, thanks for calling the morning show
and a happy Monday to you.

Speaker 9 (01:07:44):
Maryan, What what the sort of made you feel better?
You need to have more of the homemade sourdough bread.
Maybe have some toasts in the morning with the eggs,
and then some sour dough grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
Well, you know, because of my low carbon I have
reduced the amount of cars. I did have some homemade
sourdough bread, thanks to my wife for making another loaf.
She's been making it every weekend and Saturday was no different,
so I did get that and uh, for for whatever reason,
didn't help.

Speaker 9 (01:08:15):
Well anyway, I'm also all for Trump's cutting these programs.
There's way too much government workers and government bloat and waste,
and yeah, it'll get get better.

Speaker 4 (01:08:28):
I hope.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
So and there's a glimmer of hope. But you know,
and as I stare out of this landscape of you know,
left wing activists protesting the getting the elimination is fraud, waste,
and abuse that which is again designed to save these
systems from themselves. And I think maybe all behind all
this agitation is they just realize that their government funded

(01:08:49):
political action money is going to dry up. And that
seems to be the direction. A lot of this information
that we've now been that's now been revealed in the American
public is reflecting usayed. One prime example, the money loop
goes from Washington, allegedly out to foreign countries or maybe not,
and then back into Washington to fund lobbying organizations like

(01:09:09):
the ones that are organizing these big you know, rallies
with with Bernie Sanders and alexandri Ocasio Cortes. Anyhow, back
over to the Postal Service. I had this article that
provided a lot of information on the reality of what's
going on. So they just they announced last Thursday, US
Postal Service you know, through the Postmaster General Lewis de Joy,

(01:09:32):
saying they've already saved billions of dollars annually, cutting fifty
million work hours, closing some unnecessary facilities, and increasing plant productivity,
saying it translated a two point five billion in annual
savings according to their March twentieth statements. Reductions part of
what is described as the Delivering for America initial cap.

(01:09:53):
On that plan, it's a ten year plan to implement
changes to promote their you know, financial efficiency and operational efficiency.
Postmaster Jajoy said that the United States Postal Service had
terminated thirty thousand workers since fiscal year twenty twenty one.
Prior administration, another ten thousand workers expected it laid off

(01:10:16):
within a month, he said. In addition to work hour savings,
Delivering for America has resulted in two point two billion
in annual transportation cost reductions by streamlining networks and optimizing
air and service options. See the business model needed improvement,
and that's what they're struggling to do right now. They said,

(01:10:36):
it's not going to impact your mail service. There may
be some regions that might experience a maybe a one
day delay, but overall delivery speeds for both mail and
package is expected to actually improve. According to the announcement,
refinements in service standards are announced. The claim that will
save the agency a minimum of thirty six billion dollars

(01:10:57):
over the next decade through reductions in real estate, date transportation,
and mail and package costs. The JOY said last month
Postmaster the postal system has long been burdened by rules
that failed to account for changes in mail volume and mix,
which no one can deny has actually came about because

(01:11:17):
of email and the Internet, resulted in costly and ineffective
operations quote for decades, and most specifically during the last
three years, Congress has actively resisted operational solutions and meaningful change,
Congress standing in the way. New ups cost reg reduction

(01:11:40):
plan comes after the agency reported a net loss of
nine point five billion dollars for last fiscal year, three
billion more than fiscal twenty twenty three, in spite of
and how does this happen? Revenues rising going up to
seven hundred and eight or seventy eight point onenty eight
billion to seventy nine point five to three billion, more

(01:12:03):
than a billion additional revenue, and yet three billion dollars
more in loss. How does that happen? Last week, Postmaster
informed congressional lawmakers that the postal system had signed an
agreement with the Department of Governmental Efficiency DOGE and the
General Service Administration to work together on a bunch of
different issues identifying and achieving further efficiencies. Focus on reviewing

(01:12:29):
the mismanagement of our self funded retirement assets and the
actuarial miscalculations of our retirement obligations. They said. The effort
to work look into the mismanagement of our workers' compensation program,
which resulted in four hundred million in excessive annual charges
compared to practices in the private industry. And for those

(01:12:52):
who would argue against this, again, it's much like trying
to save Social Security from itself. There are ways to
fix some of the problems, and they're merely endeavoring to
identify them. If Congress must ultimately approve them, then Congress
should approve them. You want mail delivery to continue, You
want to quit paying billions and billions of dollars every

(01:13:13):
single year in losses to keep it afloat under the
current practices. When some of these current practices are outdated, outmoded,
and just downright inefficient, why would you be against this
type of thing happening? Maybe chime in and after top
of the hour news got a little bit of time
before we get to the former vice mayor of the
City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smith had been coming up at

(01:13:33):
seven to twenty. I'll be right back.

Speaker 18 (01:13:35):
From a full rundown and the biggest ten lines just
minutes away at the top of the hour. I'm giving
you a fact now the Americans should know fifty five rs.

Speaker 1 (01:13:43):
The talk station.

Speaker 5 (01:13:45):
This report is SPONSORBLE.

Speaker 1 (01:14:02):
Seven oh six. Look about KRCD coalk station. Try to
have a happy Monday, but a bit of an emotional
struggle over the weekend and continuing into a Monday. So
no idea why I'm in a state of funk, but
I'll least admit that I am anyhow. Christopher Smith and
puts a smile on my face. We'll be joining the

(01:14:24):
program in about fifteen minutes seven to twenty for the
former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati and the
always interesting and enlightening Smith event. And we're going to
faast forward to eight forty. We have an empower use someone.
It should be really interesting. I was reading up on
the notes on this our blue light environment is degrading
our health. Apparently, the concept of us being normally exposed

(01:14:48):
to sort of red and infrared light and now in
the twentieth century with LED lights which apparently had more
of a blue hue, it's impacting our health. And Scott Zimmerman,
founder of a company called Silas and corporate maker of
nir A Lighting, got more than thirty five years of
experience in the field of lighting displays. He's going to

(01:15:08):
be doing a seminar on this empower You seminar taking
place March twenty fifth. Empower Youueamerica dot org. And thanks
as always the Dan Reagnold for the empower you concept.
We're getting some polling information I wanted to dive on
into because it is. It's enlightening. Thanks to Westside Jim
Keefer who called earlier today to talk about the mayor
oal race. He sent me an article from Sharon Coolidge.

(01:15:30):
It's from the Cincinni Inquirer, headline twenty seven seeking Cincinnati
Council seats so big Field. Twenty seven people have picked
up petitions at the Hamilt County Board of Elections, which
is the first step to run. Youve got to get
five hundred signatures in order to fulfill the qualifications. Eight
current Democrat council members. Former councilwoman Lakita Cole apparently going

(01:15:55):
to be running as an independent former state representative than
Democrat Dale Mallory, brother of yes Mark Mallory. We have
a first transgender candidate, someone named Saul Cercy, an undisclosed
unnamed Republican, a former mayoral candidate and former Cincinnati Public

(01:16:18):
School board member as well. Is Morowski run in Joe,
No idea, anywall, just an interesting It's going to be
a pack field if all these folks actually get the
number of signatures required to run in the race. Anyway.
A couple of interesting polling articles that were out in

(01:16:41):
poll results taken one Atlantis Intel poll, This is shocking
many Democrats, showing voters aged eighteen to twenty nine showing
fifty two point seven percent support for President Donald Trump.
Young men twenty three sent more likely to support Trump

(01:17:01):
than young women. And there's quite a few polls out
lately showing that the most notably college educated women are
really really really really very very very left and some
unhinged on the whole matter. Saw another article about the
state of marriage many women just don't want to get
married anymore, and that's sad. If you're in that category,

(01:17:21):
ask yourself why marriage is wonderful. It can be great.
It's stabilizing, and for those weekends when you're feeling in
a bad mood, you've got a great partner there to
provide you with moral support there for you in the
good times and the bad times. You can enjoy both together.
It's certainly a financial benefit to being married. You aren't
out in the world in this pack of nutcases out

(01:17:42):
there trying to find someone with whom to have a relationship,
and maybe you just choose to spend your time alone,
which sounds really really depressing. Anyway. Over to Quinnipiac University's
annual first quarter congressional polling shows that for the first
time in the poll's history, congressional Democrats are now underwater
with in their own voters in terms of approval rating.

(01:18:03):
Only forty percent of Democrats approve of the job performance
of congressional Democrats compared to forty nine percent who disapprove.
What is described by Quinnipiac as a dramatic change from
this time last year, where seventy five percent of Democrats
approved of their party compared to just twenty one percent
of disapproved, so a huge shift. Democrat discontent apparently not

(01:18:29):
the center around a desire to pull the party to
the left or right. The Democrats simply can't seem to
agree on which direction the party should move. This accorded
a recent Gallup poll that found forty five percent of
the Democrats what did the party become more moderate? With
twenty nine percent feeling it should become more liberal and

(01:18:49):
twenty two percent saying it should stay the same. I'm
not sure what the same is given that the Democrat
Party is made up of some moderate Democrats in an
out loud, loudest squeaky whis of the party, being the
Bernie Sanders and aocs of the party, and they're the
ones that shifted the party way over to the left. Biden,
of course, was asleep on the job the whole time.

(01:19:10):
He didn't have anything to say about it, and just
sort of held up in his basement without pushing the
party in any particular direction and conceding given that he wasn't.
I suppose even signing executive orders are directing the partying
or ceding control of the party to whoever was his
puppet master, which seems to be pretty clearly the far
left wing of the party. They're the ones that are
going after Chucky Schumer for keeping the government open when

(01:19:31):
it used to be their mantra to keep the government
open all the time. Number suggests the anger at least
partly fueled by the Democrats based dissatisfaction with congressional leadership
and its relatively conciliatory approach to Trump this time around,
and their inability to stop him. That would be I
guess capitulation on the continuing resolution. But what would that

(01:19:55):
have left them with. There's never any real follow up
on that. Okay, you're anger with Chucky Schumer for agreeing
to keep the government open again, a position that was
widely held and argued and advocated for by Democrats in
the past when it looked like the government was going
to shut down. Oh my god, the government's going to
shut down. We're all going to die. So now the
far left wing the party is upset that the government

(01:20:15):
stayed open. But if you had left the keys of
the government in control of Donald Trump, right, he could
have been the one deciding what is necessary in terms
of government services remaining in effect, well, he might have
kept open portions of the government that wouldn't have set
real well with you. And recent polls from CNN and

(01:20:40):
Data for Progress. Two separate polls found supermajorities of Democrats
calling for the party's congressional leadership to do more to
oppose the president. Now that sounds again like this Trump
derangement syndrome. The left has done nothing but oppose Donald Trump.
Of course, during his first term, even while he was

(01:21:03):
an elected president, regularly citing Donald Trump as the reason
for bad things happening, and of course, now that he's
been re elected president, in the face of this constant,
constant name calling, Nazi, sexist, racist, homophote, Oh my god,
you know, I just it was just a never ending
drumbeat of just name calling against Donald Trump, which didn't

(01:21:26):
seem to have a very good reaction in terms of
how the voters ended up voting in the presidential election
last November. It didn't work as a practice just outright
saying no to literally everything Donald Trump does. Is that
a strategy? Okay, say no to Trump, but what is
your alternative? Ignoring the problems that have been discovered, like,

(01:21:48):
for example, the work that Doge has done, ignoring the
eminent train wreck that's coming faster and faster with Social Security,
ignoring the thes of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands
of people who are dead on the Social Security roles.
Why would any party be against cleaning up those voter rolls, unless,

(01:22:09):
of course, like Chicago, if I mentioned in a million times,
you know Chicago, everybody knows that the politicians are corrupt,
but because they're all Democrats up there, it's their corruption,
so they don't mind it. I don't know that that's a
platform for success with the American people. I think we're
more and more aware of what is going on. We're
aware of the fraud, wasted abuse. We have the Internet now,

(01:22:30):
we don't have to rely on CNN to provide us
with accurate information, and quite often they didn't. They don't
have to report on this type of fraud, waste, and abuse,
and they didn't. You have alternative forms of media now,
you have access to well transparency, most notably under the
Trump administration, most notably through Department of Governmental Efficiency. Elon
Musk is now a Nazi and people are blowing up

(01:22:52):
his cars and shooting them and destroying dealerships because he's
shedding sunlight of disinfectant on what has been going on
with your hard earned tax dollars. And again, this is
your money. You'll worked for it, they took it out
of your paycheck and you finally find out what it's
being spent on, and you're probably, you know, in the

(01:23:13):
right category if you're staring in disbelief that are you
kidding me? I worked for them to spend the money
on that. Of course, it's going to resonate with American people,
and I think young people are have caught onto the
reality that this is pretty much a house of cards
that we've been working with for a long time. So

(01:23:34):
you know, I would assert that the Democrats are going
to have to come up with some strategy more than
just resist Trump. I thought, anyway, we'll see what a
vice mayor former vice mayor of the city, since Saint
Christopher Smithman has to say, not sure what is on
his mind, but I always find it interesting his commentary

(01:23:56):
always insightful and often entertaining. So Christopher will be up next.
And first though, I get to mention, and I say
get to because I'm honored to be able to refer
you to my friends at Bud Herbert Motors. You know,
I had such a terrible box store experience, and thank you,
thank you to Jim Keefer, my friend for Saint Brian
just called bout Herbert Motors I did. I was treated

(01:24:16):
wonderfully and you will be too. This is a Herbert
family member you'll be working with when you get in
touch with them. They're proud of the more than seventy
five years they've been in business. They're proud of their
family tradition. They're proud of the products that they sell
because they only sell the world class brands like John Deere,
x Mart and Steel and Haunted Power Equipment. They're proud
that they will deliver that product to your door and

(01:24:37):
service whatever it is they're delivering to you. They take
care of it all. And they are so knowledgeable about
what they sell or you know, you can't say that
with a box store employee. Not only are they not
selling the best brands, they don't know as nearly as
much as the Herbert family does, and they're not going
to know how to steer you in the right direction
as they did with me. The last Pushmar I'll ever

(01:24:57):
have to buy, said the Herbert family. I love when
I heard that. That's great. That's the quality I bought
and you will too. Five one three five four one

Chuck kingram on fifty five krs the talk.

Speaker 1 (01:26:18):
Station seven twenty one on a Monday. I always look
forward to this time because you get to hear from
the former life mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smithman,
and the smither event. Welcome back, Christopher Smithvan God bless you,
sir for being on the program.

Speaker 6 (01:26:35):
Oh God bless you.

Speaker 15 (01:26:36):
Brian Thomas and I've been listening today. We've got a
lot going on. Every week I say that to you,
and it's so true.

Speaker 13 (01:26:44):
Yeah, no, from week to week.

Speaker 15 (01:26:47):
You know, last week I touched on some things that
actually happened. But where I want to start off is
that famous quote from Einstein that says insanity is doing
the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
In the context of President Trump signing an executive order

(01:27:10):
shutting down the Department of Education. Now, look, we have
major cities across the United States of America where the
public school systems are in serious trouble, where you have
kids like Cincinnati, approximately thirty seven thousand kids, seventy percent

(01:27:37):
of them, I'm guessing is an estimate, are African American,
and you have so many schools around us that are failing.
And that is true across the United States of America,
meaning our American children. And it doesn't matter whether they're
black or white, are Indian, are Italian, they are American children.

(01:28:01):
The best way out of poverty into a middle class
is getting a great education. So it's a great place
to start. If the federal government is saying, listen, the
Department of Education is not getting it done. They're not
getting it done. Einstein's quote here applied, and sanity is

(01:28:21):
doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
For Thomas, we must change how our children are educated,
empowering our parents to make choices for their families what
is in the best interest for them and their child.
And every school board member who's listening here, if you're

(01:28:45):
not getting it done, move out of the way. Teachers,
if you're not getting it done, move out of the way.
We have to do well here because it's only the
future of America. Our children must be able to do math,
English and reading history. They've got to understand where they

(01:29:08):
are and why they live in this country, and be
able to count and read when they're fifteen and twenty
years old. This is a major problem. I am glad
the President is honing in on it, and anybody who's
a teacher or a union person, if you don't have
an answer or a solution, please move out of the way.

(01:29:30):
Brian Thomas. Our children deserve to get a good education.
I am a product of public education. So anybody listening
to this conversation says, oh, Smitherman went to private schools. No,
I am a product of a public education. Things have
changed so dramatically since I graduated from high school, and

(01:29:51):
most people listening to me who went to a public
a public school, they would say the same Brian Thomas.

Speaker 1 (01:29:57):
Well, I went to public schools my whole life. University
of Cincinnati, no Ivy League school, that one for two degrees.
It all worked out just fine for me. But I
think the reason I was able to succeed is because
I was taught a classic education phonics, you know, traditional
education in mathematics. It worked. It was a proven success story,

(01:30:19):
and they went and they changed all that. Now they
focused so much time on things that have nothing to
do with reading and writing and more to do with
indoctrinating our students. Let's get away from that and get
back to some core classical education because it has proven
the right recipe for success, the key to all education.
Christal's reading. You have to you have to read to

(01:30:40):
learn anything.

Speaker 15 (01:30:43):
Absolutely, And the discipline teachers who are listening to this segment,
I love teachers. My mom is a retired teacher. My wife,
my late wife, was a Cincinnati public teacher. Let me
tell you. She would come home and talk about discipline

(01:31:03):
issues in her classroom. I can't teach because the kids
are so disruptive, Christopher. This is what she would say
to me. I've got kids in my class who are
just talking, running around, throwing books, disruptive, hitting each other,
and I can't get the administration to hold these kids accountable.

(01:31:25):
I can lend them to the principal's office a hundred times,
but they keep coming back to my classroom. Meaning we're
going to have to make sure that students, when they're
in the school understand the teachers. The administrators. There are
the Boston and they need boards of education that will
back them up. This is a major problem for any

(01:31:46):
teacher that is teaching in a public school system, discipline
issues with the kids. That's because what's happening at home
is now pouring out into the school. But the bottom
line of your brothers, we're not going to continue to
do this saying thing. And I appreciate the executive order
from the President because what it says to me, we're
gonna do something different, We're going to try something new,

(01:32:10):
and I think we need it and our children deserve it.

Speaker 1 (01:32:13):
Yeah, that's for sure. Let's pause when Christopher back for

Seven thirty one at fifty five cars de talk station
A very happy Monday too, and join our conversation with
Christopher smythm and observations about the education system. And you
go back to your late wife and God rest her
soul and having deal having to deal with disciplinary problems
in school. And I was thinking about that and I
cannot recall a single instance of something like that happening

(01:34:42):
back when I was in school, Christopher again, I went
to you know, public schools my whole life. But I
know what would have happened to me had I engaged
in that type of behavior. Not only would I been
met with disciplinary action at school, I'd have been met
with disciplinary actions when I got home. My father wouldn't

(01:35:03):
have abided anything like that, nor my mom.

Speaker 15 (01:35:08):
You know, it's clearly a major problem what's happening at home.
And I had the same household. There's no way my
father or mother my again, my mother was a school teacher,
my father was a scientist, but there was no way
that they would ever side with me ever against the teacher.
Matter of fact, they would say, I don't even care.

(01:35:29):
Maybe the teacher is wrong, you're wrong, You're always wrong.
If a teacher is calling my house, doctor Smithland was
going to take care of business.

Speaker 13 (01:35:38):
Yep.

Speaker 15 (01:35:38):
And that's why the sixth of us have the sense
that we have. We appreciate my father and my mother
so much, their long marriage, the love that they have
for each other, but most importantly, the love that we
now fully understanding half of us like, there is no
way we could walk in and this wasn't even a
thing when I was in school, But there was no
way we could walk in with our pants hanging down

(01:36:00):
off our butts. That's just not going to happen, you
know what I mean. Or we're going to be disrespectful
to my mother or my grandmother or tell them that
I'm not gonna do something my wife was sharing with
me is listen, Christopher. The values of our country are
really dropping dramatically. What I'm seeing in these classrooms is
a result of a breakdown in the family, where parents

(01:36:24):
right are losing control of their kids. And we have
school boards across the United States of America, and we've
talked about this, Brian Thomas, who are continuing to castrate families,
castrate parents by telling them, I'm not going to tell
you what's going on with your kids. Your kid can
have a sex change and I'm not going to tell
you that they're going to have a sex change, or
my kid is dying, or he's depressed, or he's thinking

(01:36:47):
about committing suicide. I'm not going to tell you about
those kinds of things. We must have school systems that
empower parents, empower teachers, empower administrators to get to control
of these schools, like the movie Lean on Me. If
we don't do this, our country is going to fail

(01:37:07):
because other countries are surpassing us in that and in science,
and in reading and in English. We have people that
are coming here from other countries who have mastered the
English language better know the history of our country better
as they're scorn in as citizens than American citizens that
are born here. That's a problem, and so we've got

(01:37:29):
to turn back the clock. I want to see the
I want to see the anthem, the Pledge of Legiance
back in the schools. I want to have schools talking
about God and faith. I want all of it because
it's what made me who I am today. Brian Thomas, well,
so I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (01:37:43):
No.

Speaker 15 (01:37:44):
I couldn't get away with any of that stuff with money.

Speaker 1 (01:37:46):
No, not a chance. And I'm not sure if it's
so much. Parents are losing control of their children, and
they are to the extent schools aren't communicating directly with
parents about these very important issues you mentioned, but more
so relinquishing control, allowing their kids, you know, have as
much access to any kind of social media they want,
which is a terrible influence on them. When you think

(01:38:07):
of all the messages that come across on social media,
parents are not real time monitoring that, and yet they
provide that with access to the entire world of information,
including pornography, dangerous political messages, anti religious messages. I mean,
the list just is endless. But letting them have access
to that, Oh, it's okay, Johnny's parked in the corner.

(01:38:27):
I know he's safe from predators outside. He's there on
the couch, But what's he doing? I mean, are you
are you? Are you staying connected with the access and
the information that child is mind is being polluted with?
Or are you just letting sit idly by and thinking
it's okay while you go around your business, or sit
and binge on Netflix or whatever. I think it's more
parents relinquishing control or quite simply just not giving a

(01:38:51):
wit about what's happening to their children.

Speaker 15 (01:38:54):
First, I agree with you, and I will tell you,
in hopefully thirty seconds, this story about my late wife, Pam,
who was a very strong disciplinarian in hospice. In hospice
care to your listening audience, my son, my youngest son,
came into the bedroom and said, Mom and dad, I
want to live a mediocre life. My wife cried a

(01:39:17):
little bit and then got herself together and said, call
a recruiter. I want a recruiter in here as soon
as possible. And a recruiter came and began to talk
to my son, and my wife told him to her
right to his face, you're not going to use my
death as an excuse to live a mediocre life. You're
going in the military. Guess what. She died in January.

(01:39:40):
He graduated in May from a Cincinnati public school. In August,
he was off to the military. Four years. He's back,
he's back in Cincinnati, He's not leading a mediocre life,
and now he wants to be a neurosurgeon. He started
taking classes over at the University of Cincinnati, and he's
doing it on the back of being in in the guard.

(01:40:01):
My point to you is so many of our kids,
when given choices, I hear your guest, vocational education. Every
kid isn't going to college. Going into the military change
my son's life, the direction of his life. Any parent
out here, I tell you, I was scared as out
of my mind when my baby son was saying he

(01:40:22):
was going off in that van to do the military
and basic training. But that process saves his life. And
so anybody out there who has a kid, if they're
listening to us and they're having problems he's seventeen or
she's seventeen years old, looked at the military as a
possible option of vocation as a possible option for your child,

(01:40:42):
because college education and debt is not always the best
option for.

Speaker 1 (01:40:48):
Every time, no doubt about it. We'll bring Christopher back
for a few more closing words this morning for the
Smith event at seven thirty seven, Right now forty five
casit de talk station, and I got a great person
to talk to about mortgages, anything related to mortgage you
want to deal with Suzette Low's camp with Cross Country Mortgage.
She knows everything there is to know about mortgages and
all the related things that go along with it. She

(01:41:08):
can get you through the process very quickly, painlessly find
financing for that house you got your eye on. Maybe
you're a military veteran. You'll get one hundred percent of
your home value with the loan and no monthly mortgage insurance.
I love that program for American veterans. They also have
the Cross Country Mortgage line of duty benefit protecting those
that protect the US or protect us rather design to
provide financial protection for families of first responders. It's a

(01:41:30):
one time benefit covering your outstanding mortgage balance all the
way up to five hundred and twenty five thousand dollars.
Should you fall in the line of duty, you can
get all the details from Suzette and find out if
you qualify for that one license. In all fifty states
and Puerto Rico, she can help, so feel free to
give her a call. She'll get right back with you.
The number to reach her five one three three one

(01:41:53):

get right back with you that way as well. It's

This is fifty five KRC, an iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 1 (01:42:10):
It's seven forty one and happy you have KCV Talk station.
Brian Thomas from Christopher Smithvan I'm doing that thing we
call the Smith ev Smither event every Monday, beginning at
seven twenty. Further thoughts on your mind today, Christopher.

Speaker 15 (01:42:24):
Oh Yes, let me first say, brother, let me give
an honorable beachhit to George Foreman who passed away. Yeah,
seventy six, you know, Hall of Famer, gold medalist, Olympic champion,
two time heavyweight champion, seventy six wins, five loss at
eighty eight knockouts, and worked approximately three hundred million dollars
and twelve children. I just thought he was a classy guy,

(01:42:48):
you know, when he spoke. You know, he was that
guy that represented boxing from when I would watch boxing,
when boxing was boxing, and I just I just had
a I admired him as a five. And people will say, well,
why did he call all of his boys George? I think,
and you know, he never said this. I think he
understood that his name was very powerful and he didn't

(01:43:09):
want to slight any of his boys, so he called
them all George. Everybody has the same name, everybody has
the same kind of kind of right. You can walk
in and say, my name is George Foreman. Now I
could be wrong about that. I don't know, but I
think that he named all his sons that that way
because of that. But I just started he was a
class actor. The George Foreman skillet that he had was

(01:43:31):
a was a big success.

Speaker 2 (01:43:33):
You know.

Speaker 15 (01:43:33):
When he had that final knockout Mike, my dad was
was jumping around my kitchen throwing his hands. I said, Dad,
George Forman is going to get some old dude killed today.
Because you all think anybody can knock anybody out. But
in that last month, that guy did not understand that
George Foreman still, you know, had had hands of steel

(01:43:54):
and he hit him right on the chin and he
was out. I mean, so, anyway, my salute to George Forema,
a seventy six years old, great life.

Speaker 1 (01:44:03):
Yeah, hell of a boxer. He Managine getting punched by
that guy. I'd like to be hit by a truck.
I mean, just the truck, No, sir, No, sir.

Speaker 15 (01:44:13):
He was six four, I don't know how wet, his
weight was, every bit of.

Speaker 9 (01:44:19):
A lot.

Speaker 15 (01:44:20):
I'm not messing with him at all, even at seventy six.
I wouldn't be messing with the George Foreman. But what
I will say to you, what I will say with
you in the end here is that Elon Musk deserves
my gratitude and all Americans gratitude of saving those two
astronauts last week. It was a remarkable thing, to see

(01:44:43):
the landing, to see the dolphins. I salute him his
company and all of the technology and all of the
men and women at NASA and the scientists, the mathematicians.
It was an incredible feat. He makes it look easy,
his team makes it look and this is some of
the greatest technology and coming from one company in the

(01:45:08):
entire world. I don't understand why MSNBC didn't show it.
It blows me away that CNN barely spoke about it.
But that's the world we're living in that we can't
even tell the truth Brian Thomas about what is happening
good around us. You can disagree with somebody on some issue,

(01:45:28):
but still show where America is showing greatness. That was
just a magnificent feat. And by the way, just on
a political note to all those who are listening, former
President Biden left them there for nine months right period.
So the reality of people saying they're angry, maybe it's
an embarrassing thing of why MSNBC wouldn't show it. But

(01:45:50):
if that was my wife, if that was my auntie,
if that was my grandmother, I would want somebody to
save her from the space station. And it was eli
NASA and the United States of America and the President
because he said go get him and bring him home.

Speaker 1 (01:46:06):
Yeah, and Boeing failed in its effort to do it.
So you know, SpaceX outdid Boeing, which I think speaks
volumes in and of itself. And you know, somewhere out there, Christopher,
and I hate to say this out loud because it
is so depressing and disgusting to think about it. I'm
sure there was some of these real vile, anti Elon
Musk people out there that were probably hoping that that
mission to rescue them failed.

Speaker 15 (01:46:30):
You know, it's so sad to say out loud, but
you're you're absolutely right when you see the former candidate
for vice president saying that he wants his stock to
go down, yeah, and and champion that. And the reality
of it is this. Look, I very rarely talk about
what I do for a living as a financial planner,
but look, markets go up and down.

Speaker 6 (01:46:52):
This is just a part of it.

Speaker 15 (01:46:54):
There's there's nothing unusual going on right now with what
we would call correction seen percent. It's what markets do
is the efficienc the efficiency of the market. So this
notion that you're like saying, this is where the stock
kids is insane on his part. You never were always
rooting I was rooting for Biden, rooting for Bush, rooting

(01:47:16):
for Obama. I'm rooting for the United States of America.
I'm always rooting for the United States of America, not
against it. And I just suggest that you're listening, audience,
and I know they are. Let's keep rooting for America.
We've got Russia and Ukraine, We've got Israel and Gaza, right,
We've got parifs, We've got country that has been ripping
us off. We've got to give this president the room

(01:47:38):
and the ability to win. That's what we have to
do right now. This notion that we're going to use
the judicial system to try to lock up him and
keep him locked up for the next four years is
completely outrageous and insane. A circuit federal court judge does
not have the power to hamper the executive arm of

(01:48:01):
the United States of America. And if I were the
president of the United States, I would not have turned
those planes around that had gang members in them and
bring them back to the United States of America. Is
this just crazy?

Speaker 1 (01:48:15):
Many people will say that he is or he's just
a you know, political operative, but you know he does
have judicial powers and that's why we have courts of
appeals and hopefully at some juncture the Supreme Court will
have a say on it and say things in the
right direction that will benefit our country. Again, going back
to your fundamental point, Christopher Smithman, God bless you, sir.
I love when you spend time with my listeners, and right.

Speaker 15 (01:48:38):
Thank you, and please people follow me at vote Smitherman

Speaker 1 (01:51:15):
Coming up on seven fifty three fifty five krs the
talk station. The phone lines are open. Got a minute
here if someone wants to call on maybe comment, perhaps
on something. Christopher said five one, three, seven, four nine
fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three
talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones. And
when I think about the education system, this whole idea
that you can advance a child who do has not

(01:51:36):
mastered the grade level, and I don't understand how anyone
could argue that it's providing a service for that child.
They just want to move on because they're a headachere,
a hassle. That means you've given up on that child,
and you've condemned that child to a life of poverty
or perhaps even crime. And a friend of mine, they
just sent me some statistics on this education problem, and

(01:52:00):
a lot of it has to do with, you know,
not having a dad at home or not having a
nuclear family that provides support. That whole prison to pipeline
thing or pipeline to prison thing, A lot of people
point to the education system. Yeah, if you don't have
an education, the likelihood of your committing crimes because you
can't get a job because you don't know how to

(01:52:20):
read or perform basic fundamental mathematics skills. Of course, that's
going to be a problem. But you know, a little Johnny,
you will feel guilty or bad because he's been held
back and his peers have moved forward. Really, we'll moving
Johnny up to the next grade when Johnny has not
mastered the skills of the grade that he is in,

(01:52:41):
is only going to put him further behind. Because well,
of course, the problem is an obvious one. Every year
the curriculum gets more challenging and harder. It's supposed to
you create this building block, this foundation of knowledge. Every
year more bricks and blocks in that foundation, and then

(01:53:01):
you build further upon it. If your foundation is shaky
or in many cases and not just the statistics are
mind blowing. You've got school districts where not a single
child can read at grade level and get in the
system of education that we live now, this whole idea
that we don't hold people back anymore, we just move

(01:53:22):
them on grade elevation when they haven't actually earned the grade.
How can anyone argue that that's beneficial to the child.
And there's no one size fits all solution to this.
I recognize that it's a simplistic thing to say, well,
we just need to but that one component of the

(01:53:43):
education system should be eradicated and eliminated completely. You must
demonstrate your knowledge of this grade's material before you can
move on, because well, we're not going to graduate people
from high school anymore. They can't read. That's a thing,
doesn't it sound like something from a you know, a

(01:54:05):
dystopian Hollywood movie that we would live in a society
that would do that. I mean, forget about it being
a benefit for the American people, our economy, are our
future as a country to have well educated young people.
But just look at the individual alone. You've left that
person in peril and likely someone who is going to

(01:54:32):
be perpetually hooked up to the umbilical court of government
of some social program because they cannot care for themselves.
It's just it's heartbreaking. It is literally heartbreaking. Feeling like
I'm getting emotional just thinking about it. Although we've been
over this kind of thing so many times over the years.
Looks like I got several callers online, and Jim and

(01:54:52):

glow the red hue. So we're gonna learn together about that.
I've seen some other articles about it, but I've never
paid that close attention to It's an opportunity for us
all to learn a little bit about the seven are
at eight forty and then check out the seminar and
power Youamerica dot Org. Let's go over to the phones.
I appreciate Alan hanging on for the break. Alan, thanks

(01:56:07):
for calling this morning, and welcome to the Morning Show.

Speaker 19 (01:56:10):
Hey Brian, I always like listening to you. I just
I don't know if anybody's ever talked about this phenomenon
that's starting to happen, but kids not tying their shoes,
and it's like the adults around them don't have the
fortitude or the desire to make them tight their shoes.

(01:56:34):
When I grew up, if you had your two shoes untied,
you couldn't move without twenty people telling you, hey, hire shoe,
young man.

Speaker 15 (01:56:44):
Right now.

Speaker 19 (01:56:44):
And I had a soccer game yesterday. You thirty girls,
and this girl's running around with their shoes untide, which
is unsafe. So there's a lull in play, and I said,
young lady, TI your shoes, and so she goes out
tries to tie him for about thirty seconds and then
she gives up and she runs off the joint play

(01:57:04):
and it's like, I'm not going to stop the game
for this, So the coach sub ends up stumping. Around
four or five minutes later, she still has the tighter shoes.
I watched her go over the bitch. I watched the
coach talk to her, I watch her get a drink,
I watch her sit down, and I watch her for
thirty seconds not tying her shoes. So I stopped the game.
I go Coach number seventy is the tire shoes, and

(01:57:25):
the coach actually tight her shoes.

Speaker 15 (01:57:27):
And it's just I.

Speaker 19 (01:57:29):
Don't understand why we don't work at teaching kids things
that might be difficult for them, and we just.

Speaker 6 (01:57:37):
Let them go.

Speaker 1 (01:57:38):
Well, I have this vague recollection of you know, my
mom and dad teaching me how to tie my shoes.
You know, the rabbit runs around the tree and goes
through the hole. Whatever. But I mean, there is a
methodology for teaching your children how to tie shoes. It
isn't that difficult once you learn how to do it.
And that may be just an illustration of a failure
of parenting, But what parent would have let their kids

(01:57:59):
run around with the shoes untied? As you point out,
it's dangerous. Your shoe can easily fall off. How can
you run without your shoes being.

Speaker 19 (01:58:07):
Tied or you could trip over the laces.

Speaker 1 (01:58:10):
Yeah, well there's that too.

Speaker 19 (01:58:13):
Why we had you fifteen boys and they've told me
this is the way I wear my shoes during a
soccer game, and it's like, no, that's not going to
cut it.

Speaker 1 (01:58:23):
Keep up the great work, coach.

Speaker 2 (01:58:27):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:58:28):
I draw a parallel with that with the baggy pants thing,
where the pants are hanging down below the underwear around
the thighs, and you know a lot of time that
that look is associated with criminal behavior, at least I've
read that a bunch of times. Well, if you're going
to commit a crime and your pants aren't tied up
around your waist, I think you're going to have a
difficult time running away if law enforcement enters into the picture.

(01:58:48):
So you know, I just view that it's sort of
a Darwinian reality when you think about it. That's just
my take. So yeah, appreciate that. Alan seven eight hundred
eight two three dog pound five fifty on your AT
and T fund. I think it's Dan Enager, the brilliant

(01:59:08):
auto review guy at the Wall Street Journal. He writes
an outstanding column. I think it's his last name. Don't
don't don't quote me on that. And I should remember
his name because I read his column every week. But
he's talking about the timing on his decision, and he
said he rarely ever mentions any kind of car he buys,
and he gets so many cars to review that I
don't get. I get the impression he really doesn't have

(01:59:29):
to buy one, but he recently acquired a used Tesla,
and he went on to explain all of his reasons
to do it in spite of the fact that this
seems to be the evil choice of cars to buy
now since the left wing has gone all crazy against
Elon Musk. And I'm no fan of evs, and that's
my right to be, and I know how wonderful they are,
and I would never criticize the amazing reality of the

(01:59:53):
electric vehicles, from the acceleration, the immediate torque, the technology
that exists in them. Some call it big brother ish
and I think I could do that, but I know
people who own them and absolutely love them. They think
it's the greatest car ever made.

Speaker 2 (02:00:06):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:00:07):
And then along comes Elon Musk and his efforts to
get out, you know, the fraud, waste and abuse in
government immediately makes him the devil or a Nazi. If
I think that's the most absurd claim you could ever make,
because I do understand the definition of the Nazis and
the national Socialist Party, and I do understand the reality
of Adolf Hitler and his extermination of an entire race
of people, or at least his efforts to do that.

(02:00:28):
Not something that Elon Musk has ever advocated for, but
that you can get one of those automobiles. He bought
a used one twenty twenty two. I think it was
a Model three, maybe low mileage. There's quite a few
of them now, of course, more for sale now than before,
but a tremendous value. I believe he purchased it because
his daughter's needed is getting your driver's license. But he

(02:00:51):
went on and just did this rave review of all
the reasons why it is such an outstanding automobile. And
I think about that in the context of all the
people that went out and bought them because of the reasons.
He articulated that you have all these choices in the
world about what you can buy. You chose to get
an electric vehicle that requires a charger and takes a
little bit longer to charge up and all that, and

(02:01:13):
some of the limitations it comes with, like you know,
mileage limitations, some convenience inconvenience is associated with it. But
what it came across I actually had a better perception
of owning one and how easily they are to be
acquired and affordable. And so I respect the decision that
he made and I have no problem against it. I

(02:01:35):
just don't like to be told I do not have
a choice, as I witnessed the insanity going on with
the left, and they're they're, they're, they're attacking the vehicle
itself and innocent owners of vehicles who may have bought
them for all the right reasons. The reason that he
articulated in the article are enough, but the idea that

(02:01:56):
you think you might be saving the planet on some level,
a lot of virtue signaling going on with Tesla owners.
Maybe he just bought it because you like the performance.
The Tesla plaid is just a little rocket ship and
for someone who likes performance and automobiles zero to sixty
one point nine seconds, McLaren's can't even do that. But

(02:02:18):
there are multitude of reasons to buy them. But why
are these crazed folks attacking people who made the decision
many years ago, made the decision to purchase a Tesla vehicle,
only to go after the innocent purchases of those vehicles
when they bought them for a multitude of right reasons.
They didn't buy it because Elon Musk is doing what

(02:02:41):
he's doing now. They bought him for the technological genius
that they are, or because they think they're saving the
planet that company supports. I think one hundred thousand American
workers pension systems are invested in Tesla. So if you're
like Waltz and you're happy the Tesla stock is going
down very well, be you know, harming your own pension,

(02:03:02):
your own four oh one k. It makes no sense whatsoever.
Do you think you have legitimate criticism against Elon Musk.
That's fine if you choose not to buy one of
his products now because of what he's doing with doge okay,
But to go around and attack, you know, the vehicles
in automobile dealerships, and to attack people who have no

(02:03:23):
connection whatsoever with Elon must they he just happened to
be the guy that created this wonderful product that would
convince them that it was a worthy purchase. I can't
imagine you are doing yourself any favors by way of
making this as a political statement. It just it doesn't

(02:03:44):
make any sense. I just really don't get it, and
maybe that's one of the reasons the Democrat polling numbers
are gone down through the toilet. Federal Bureau of Investigation
even released a public service announcement warning Americans, in their words,
to exercise vigilance and look out for suspicious activities in
areas occupied by Tesla dealerships or Tesla related entities, or
even just Tesla's generally speaking. According to the release the FBI,

(02:04:08):
the Federal Bald of Investigation is informing the public of
recent nationwide incidents targeting Tesla Electric Vehicles, dealerships, storage lots,
and charging stations. Since January twenty twenty five, incidents targeting
Tesla evs have occurred at at least nine states. These
incidents involve arson, gun fire, vandalism, including graffiti expressing grievances

(02:04:30):
against those the perpetrators perceived to be racist, fascists, or
political opponents. Isn't that a rather broad presumption you're making.
Your neighbor's got a Tesla, maybe it's been parked in
his or her driveway. Now since the Biden administration, you're
going to go and attack that one and spray it
with graffiti. When they had Elon Musk had no connection

(02:04:52):
with the federal government or its efforts to pair back
the size and scope of it. A pre elon must
indulge decision that they made. They said, these criminal actions
appear to have been conducted by loan offenders, and all
known incidents occurred at night well thirty. General pam Bondi
has labeled the tax domestic terrorism and announced charges against

(02:05:14):
several individuals engaging these attacks. Recognize that the Tesla vehicle
itself has a security feature on it that is going
to record you. It's called Century Modes, got multiple cameras.
You will be reported to the owner's app and you
will be recorded on a separate disc. They will have
the evidence of the crime occurring. So you're likely to

(02:05:35):
get prosecuted. And as I mentioned before, and I know
Pambondi's mentioned it already, you can be the perpetrators of
this exercise, the ones who car coordinating it. Maybe one
of these left wing organizations, unhinged as they may be,
but if they're coordinating and orchestrating criminal activity, that's plain
old rico right there, and they may find themselves in

(02:05:58):
a crossover recoa action. And I'm sort of sitting here
with my popcorn out waiting for it to happen anyway.
The warning listed possible threat activities, violent threats made online,
referencing specific Tesla properties, inquiring or examining security measures of
Tesla dealerships for photographs of security related equipment or personnel

(02:06:18):
Tesla dealerships, unusual surveillance or interest in Tesla related entities,
and attempts to gain access to restricted areas or bypassed
security measures at Tesla related properties. Again, that relates to
the dealerships, and I guess where they're parked generally speaking,
but in so far as individual Tesla owners, you too
are being attacked because I've seen so many reports on it,

(02:06:39):
and that is absolutely baffling to me. FBI encourage you
to call the FBI field office. You can get in
touch with them if you notice the suspicious activity. It's
eight hundred call FBI. That's eight hundred call FBI. I'm
sort of beside myself this morning that I even have
to bring this up, but it is going on, and
again I'm baffling by the behavior. Eight seventeen fifty five

eric I also think of that movie when the word
automobile is uttered anyway, moving over to a little op
ed piece in the journal, what works and what doesn't
demonstrat demonstrated by the realities of what's going on in

(02:07:34):
California versus that in Texas the numbers do not lie.
Democrats still wake up to the fact that migration from
blue to red states could become a political problem for
winning the House represented. It's going to get worse, judging
by the Department of Labour's latest state jobs reports showing
California lost jobs in nearly every industry in the year

(02:07:56):
before underscore the word before Donald Trump took office. Ure
of Labor Statistics last week released annual revised job numbers
for states based on more complete data. California gained a
net twenty two thousand, four hundred jobs from January twenty
four to January twenty five. All of its new jobs
were in government fifty eighty three hundred, healthcare, social assistance,

(02:08:21):
and private often higher education one hundred and forty eight thousand,
two hundred, which rely to a large extent on government spending.
And if you have an opportunity, please read ALYSSA. Finley's
op ed madness at Columbia was your tax dollars at work?
Jeez lo wise, what a colossally screwed up. And this

(02:08:42):
is the time that I wish FCC compliance rules were suspended,
because I'd have some graphic language to use to describe
what was revealed in that article. But moving back, private
businesses shed jobs in the year. This is again in California.
Construction down twenty eight thousand, six hundred, manufacturing down thirty
three thousand, four hundred, information down eleven thousand, seven hundred,

(02:09:03):
finance down twenty one thousand, eight hundred, professional and business
services down forty nine thousand, leisure and hospitality down twenty
nine thousand, five hundred, retail down forty three hundred. They
say some job losses are a result of small businesses
closing because of high taxes and costs, including sixteen to
fifteen hour minimum wage and twenty dollars minimum wage for

(02:09:25):
fast food restaurants. They say the state's Private Attorney's Generals
Act let trial lawyers extort small businesses by filing dubious
lawsuits for alleged labor violations. Most businesses pay off the
attorneys and settlements because defending against the lawsuits would cost
even more. And yes, I know a lot about that.
That's why they settle. Large companies, also relocating workers to

(02:09:47):
lower tax and cost states. Texas added one hundred and
eighty seven thousand, seven hundred jobs over the same period,
with gains spanning all industries. Construction in nineteen thousand, eight
hundred up forty two hundred, up in manufacturing two hundred,
up in information nineteen thousand, up in finance, professional and

(02:10:07):
business services up nineteen seven, leisure and hospitality up eleven thousand,
three hundred, and retail up thirteen thousand, nine hundred. Texas
added only about one quarter as many jobs in healthcare,
social assistance, in private education as California. They spent fifty
billion on health and human services compared with California's two

(02:10:28):
hundred and twenty eight billion. Democrats in Sacramento can't blame
Donald Trump or the wildfires in January for the state's
part poultry employment growth. Employment declined between January and September
twenty four, surged in November December, as in the rest
of the country after Trump's selection, jobs flat between December
twenty four and this January. One problem for Democrats in

(02:10:51):
Sacramento is the progressive tax regime effective top marginal rate
of fourteen and a half percent on wage income thirteen
point three on investment income that's made the state budget
increasingly dependent on a high earners whose incomes are volatile.
Are you ready The top one percent of earners in
California contribute about half of the state's income tax revenue.

(02:11:14):
How long can those people stay there? Or will they
stay there? California's economy also becoming more dependent on government spending,
including federal funds totaling one hundred and sixty two billion
dollars last year. The stock market correction and slow down
in federal spending could only open gaping budget deficits that
might force cuts in government spending, resulting in layoffs in

(02:11:35):
the few areas that are still adding growth or jobs. Rather,
you won't hear about this in any of the California problems.
On Governor Gavin Newsom's new podcast interviewing Maga men Nor
from the Progressive Land bassing him for reaching out to
Donald Trump supporters. A growing problem for Newsom's national ambitions
and his party is that California epitomizes the left. This

(02:12:00):
policies that harm workers and employers. That's why so many
are leaving for Texas. Thank god we live in this
amazing country we live in. Each state is free to
pursue its own objective, is free to pursue its own efforts. Experiment,
and what works tend to percolate to the top. What doesn't, well,
look at California. That's why I love the one size

Welcome to the morning show.

Speaker 17 (02:14:04):
Yes, sir Byron a long time listening, first time caller
type thing. So, hey, I appreciate anything to do. I
just want to throw something out there, kind of let
folks know what's going on in their neighborhood. I guess
this hands off group of them, the less than learned,
they're having a couple of rallies in the trash State
area on April fifth, which they probably doing on April
the first, but that they're at Washington Park and at

(02:14:27):
the Florence Mall. So if folks see these less than
leunded folks out there, they might just stop buying them
a bottle of water, shake their hands and maybe try
to educate a little bit, or just ignore them and
problem resist. But just letting folks know what's going on
out there, folks sharing them on social media for.

Speaker 1 (02:14:45):
My lesson lightened listeners and including me what is this
group supposedly all about bread.

Speaker 17 (02:14:50):
Oh, they're they're they're letting folks know that they don't
consent to Donald Trump stealing their government from.

Speaker 12 (02:14:56):
Them to give to his billionaire friends.

Speaker 17 (02:15:00):
Okay, pretty much in a nutshifter, those folks sucks at
the list and learned digging themselves hands hashtag hands off.

Speaker 1 (02:15:08):
All right, Well, they might want to take a look
at the state of the finances in this country and
the reality realization that we're already paying a trillion dollars
annually in debt service on what we've already dug ourselves
into by way of whole, and to continue down this
path is a quite literally existential threat to the entire
United States government and literally every program and employment opportunity

(02:15:29):
that they currently enjoy. I don't understand the realities of
what they're arguing. It doesn't make any sense from a
dollars and cents standpoint, from an economic standpoint, but we
have got ourselves into a quite literally perilous state. All
the social welfare programs that they claim that the Trump
administration is going to eradicate will disappear under the weight
of the overspending. Someone's got to ferret out fraud, waste

(02:15:51):
and abuse and pair back these programs or the whole
cost of cards is going to collapse. They want to
continue to advocate for it. They're just revealing their ignorance
from my perspective.

Speaker 17 (02:16:00):
But yeah, absolutely logic and reasoning or missing. So I
just thought to throw that out there. Appreciate your eave
and put on that. I'll hang up and let you comment,
and again thanks for keeping the mind for it.

Speaker 1 (02:16:09):
Thanks fred, I truly appreciate you tuning in and for
your call this morning. Yeah, it just to me, it
reveals a level of ignorance. So just obviously not paying
the attention to the dollars. I don't make these figures up.
Talked about the social security system this morning. Everybody says
Ela mosc is trying to take it away from you.
Look at the numbers. You called it a Ponzi scheme.

(02:16:30):
It definitionally it is. I mean there are definitions for things.
It's like this definition for fascism, the definition for socialism,
definition for communism, definition for capitalism. There's a definition for
Ponzi scheme and it fits the definition. The money coming
in from the new workers is literally going right out
the door to pay the prior for people who work

(02:16:51):
their whole life and the hopes that Social Security is
going to take care of them in retirement. It's an
unsustainable plan because they are only a handful of workers
now for every person drawn so Security and I didn't
make it up. You know, people always criticize the Congressional

(02:17:12):
Budget Office numbers as being some sort of politically biased
or whatever. I mean. The numbers come from them, as
well as a multitude of other sorts. Both the sources,
both left and right, and you'll find the sources on
both the left and right. The numbers all seem to
line up, and that we're on eight townwards, that we're
on a perilous trajectory here. It's it's literally frightening. One

(02:17:33):
local story that I thought worth bringing back up. No
one has been reimbursed for damage they got from running
over potholes in the city of Cincinnati. You're allowed to
report a pothole, you can submit a claim for the
damage your car experience from hitting a pothole. But the
city confirmed not a single human being has been reimbursed
for a pothole this year, and they're blaming it on
state law. One woman had seven hundred and fifty dollars

(02:17:54):
damaged under her car her tire got flat. She had
almost I guess probably almost ran off the road anyway.
Wx WLWT reporting on this thank you to Rachel Hersheimer
when she receives an email it's said in response to
her claim after it was submitted to the City of Cincinnati.
The City of Cincinnati, by statute, has certain immunities from
liability for damage of this nature regarding the pothole in

(02:18:18):
they sight of the hire. Revised code provision limits claims
to circumstances where the city is proven to have had
prior knowledge of the road condition yet failed to act
within a reasonable amount of time. Both conditions must be met. Therefore,
most accidents caused by a pothole in the city are
not likely eligible for reambursement under Ohio law. The search
of records in the City Service Requests database confirms the

(02:18:40):
pothole repairs were completed in this area and within a
reasonable amount of time when they were first reported. City
of Cincinnati has not demonstrated negligence in this case. Regrettably,
we must deny your requests for damage claim reimbursement pursue
into Ohigh law. No embursement will be made in this case.
So when WLWT asked if anybody's claims have been paid,

(02:19:00):
they got five hundred and sixty four requests for reimbursement.
So far in twenty twenty five, none have been eligible
for reimbursement. So we call that what a hollow promise
from the city. Maybe we'll hear about that in the
debate between the mayor Old candidates. Tomorrow Night's eight thirty

blue light? What's wrong with led lights? The man who
knows a lot about that, Scott Zimmerman, doing an empower
You seven, are on that We're going to learn from
him a little bit about the subject matter coming up
next should be interesting. I hope you can stick around
to listen.

Speaker 3 (02:19:32):
This is fifty five KRC, an iHeartRadio statement.

Speaker 1 (02:19:37):
Hey, forty to fifty five KRC Detalk station. As always,
props to Dan Regnold for creating the Empower You seminar series,
wonderful learning opportunities on a whole variety of topics from
politics to you know, gardening to lighting. And today I'm
pleased to welcome to the fifty five KRC Morning show Man.
It knows all about lighting, Scott Zimmerman. He's the founder
of a company called Sila Sinc. Maker of ni are

(02:19:59):
A lighting, which is my understanding.

Speaker 2 (02:20:02):
What near.

Speaker 1 (02:20:04):
What near infrared infrared enhanced lighting, And he'll explain that
in the moment that he has one of the thirty
five years of experience in the field of lighting and displays.
Innovations and inventions have been used commercially in a wide
range of military commercial products, including night vision displays, liquid
crystal displays, back gliding designs, and lighting fixtures, and lately
he's been focused on quantifying the health effects of natural

(02:20:27):
sunlight and the concerns with LED type lighting. Scott Zimmerman,
it's great to have you on the morning show. Your
Power You seminars taking place tomorrow night beginning at seven pm.
Listeners know to log in to empower you the letter
you America dot org and get registered. Welcome to the show, sir.
It's a pleasure having you on today.

Speaker 13 (02:20:47):
Thank you very much, well, I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (02:20:49):
The one common complaint I hear is the modern headlights.
Those brilliant almost blue blasting headlights go down. It's like
the low beams are on, but it looks like you're
getting hit by like five sets of light bulbs, all
intense on high beam. That's one area where I at
least recognize that a lot of people have, at least

(02:21:10):
in my world, have complained about. But that's just one
element of these blue lights.

Speaker 13 (02:21:16):
Yeah, I mean, I totally agree with you.

Speaker 7 (02:21:19):
There are the headlights are really annoying and a problem.
But in general, I don't think people are aware that
what the government has done with very various DOE debardment
of energy mandates is eliminate about ninety percent of what
we get when we walk out and look into up
there or we're in normal outdoor blue sky type of situation.

(02:21:43):
And what we're finding is is I've been lucky enough
to work with a number of world leaders in certain areas,
Bob Jeffries neuroscientists, Bob Fosberry astrophysicists, or Robert Swelt, a
four board certification doctor, and we're fine that what they
took away, the ninety percent of the solar spectrum that

(02:22:03):
they took away from us with LED lighting is actually
affecting our health and it was actually being used for
some very important purposes within the body. So it's been
kind of a very interesting We have probably one of
the most diverse group of people looking at the problem,
and it's something that I think we're trying to get

(02:22:28):
them to change. What's going on, And like I say,
it's a lot more than just headlights. It's also just
what's affecting our kids' ability to learn, our immune system,
a bunch of other things.

Speaker 1 (02:22:39):
Really well, I can understand the evolutionary process. Up until
very very recent in human mankind's development, we relied on firelight,
and of course with the incandescent bulb. Of my understanding
is those did burn on a spectrum that provided this
red and infrared light that we had become used to.
But you know, enter the global warming phenomenon in these

(02:23:00):
compact fluorescent bulbs, which I always absolutely hated. Segue to
LED bulbs, which until recently, and I want to ask
you about them, up until recently, they were really harsh.
You know, the light was intense white light and didn't
have any color to it. There's no warm glow to it.
Now with modern LEDs and I'm hoping you don't tell

(02:23:20):
me that my can lights which are LED or badroom
because they're adjustable and you can get a warm glow
from them. Is that the kind of NIRA technology you're
talking about that's now being developed or have I got
that wrong?

Speaker 7 (02:23:33):
And unfortunately it's not all they've done. The eye has
a very limited only measures about ur can only detect
about ten percent of this whole their spectrum and the
rest of it, it has no idea what's going on.
And so the lighting industry, you know, one of those green,
misguided but well intended, green attempts at saving energy.

Speaker 13 (02:23:58):
They said, well, let's just.

Speaker 7 (02:23:59):
Take the ninety that nature has been providing for millions
of years and the body has adapted to and get
rid of it, and instead we're going to only give
you the part that terry respond to. Well, that sounds
like a great thought. Unfortunately, those other wavelengths were actually
there to actually make it so that you could see safely.

Speaker 13 (02:24:21):
And so what are you seeing.

Speaker 7 (02:24:22):
You're seeing explosion in blue blockers, in red light therapy,
in you know, forest bathing, all these things. The public
is sensing that there is a problem here, and now
we're putting some science behind it, and it's showing that, hey,
you know, those longer wavelengths that we can't see were

(02:24:42):
actually there, so that you could safely be in a
blue sky, or had.

Speaker 13 (02:24:47):
You know, someone immune improve your immune.

Speaker 7 (02:24:50):
Response or the ability of the mitochondria to actually generate energy.
And what's fascinating is that it's this multidisciplined team is
is now getting a lot of people jumping on the
bandwagon saying, hey, you know, maybe maybe we may went
a little too far, and we're actually have a petition

(02:25:11):
now and to try and pull back some of the
mandates that the DOE put in place, especially under the
Biden administration, to say, you know where they were essentially
creating requirements that would make for a toxic environment as
far as all the lighting and you're not going to
die tomorrow.

Speaker 13 (02:25:29):
I'm not saying that the point is is good, you know.
You know, the point is is that, you know, after millions.

Speaker 7 (02:25:36):
Of years of adaptation to the solar spectrum, the body
has developed some amazing optic My field is optical engineering.

Speaker 13 (02:25:44):
So I looked at the optic side of things.

Speaker 7 (02:25:46):
And you see that the body literally collects and localizes
some of these longer wavelengths around the fetus during during
development and or in through the brain structure. You know,
I keep on saying, you know, think about the old
days where you had a flash light and you stuck
it in your mouth and you were telling ghost stories
and you see everything kind.

Speaker 13 (02:26:05):
Of glow red and orange.

Speaker 7 (02:26:07):
Well, the longer wavelengths actually penetrate deep into the body
and they are stimulating various things that we are only
now beginning to understand. But it is clearly something that
is the body expects, and if it doesn't get it,
then there's going to be an adverse effect. It's kind
of like Yin Yang.

Speaker 13 (02:26:27):
You know, you need the visible to see and do.

Speaker 7 (02:26:30):
Your work and all this other stuff, but the longer
wavelengths are there to kind of Okay, well that takes
is as harmful in some ways that we're going to
use this to kind of offset it. So it's kind
of like a on a you know, a like I say,
a Yin Yang type situation.

Speaker 1 (02:26:47):
Well, since we are literally surrounded by these everywhere we
go these days, and I've been working under fluorescent lights
for as long as I've been in a job, I
presume that those also lack these red and infrared spectrums.

Speaker 13 (02:27:02):
That's correct, and you.

Speaker 7 (02:27:04):
Know, and what Glenn's done in particular, he's done a
lot of studies now where he's showing that. You know,
the the reintroducing the longer wavelengths haveving a positive effect
on your eye ability to see color, contrast, or other aspects.
There's a strong a lot of people are doing red
light therapy to increase wound healing. Well, those are real

(02:27:27):
effects and they do add.

Speaker 1 (02:27:29):
Up over time.

Speaker 7 (02:27:30):
And Glenn's done some great work with animal insects and
things like that to show the twenty five percent increase
in lifetime associated with those applies and things of that nature.
But we're just now starting to understand that all these
different longer wavelengths that you can't see with your eye
are just as important and in some ways more important.

(02:27:53):
And unfortunately, there was a time when you may have
been in under a fluorescent light during work, but you
came home to an incandescent and read this story to
your son or your daughter and that was giving you
a plent or you had a fire in the fireplace going,
or things of that nature. So you know, these thermal
sources are broad band emitters that the myth clear out

(02:28:15):
into way out into the longer wavelengths. And as we
dig deeper, we're seeing more and more cases. Where isn't
that a coincidence that this is this is localized near
this particular thing, and then you throw that in and
so in a lot of ways, what we have is
while RFK Junior is focused on processed food, we have

(02:28:35):
processed sunlight and it is negatively impacting our ability for
our kids to learn. And there's you know, and proving
all that will take time and effort, but it's it's
something that's simple to fix and and it still saves
some energy.

Speaker 15 (02:28:54):
You know.

Speaker 7 (02:28:54):
That's what our products are basically showing. But my main
focus is not on our products. My main focus we
tell everybody please just go outside. Don't be stupid outside
I put it, wear a hat. You know, you're not
out there to bake yourself. But simply walking the forest
then enhances the amount of near and for red that
you're getting into your body. And there's a positive effect well.

Speaker 1 (02:29:17):
The production of vitamin D because not of us, all
of us have enough vitamin D in our bodies because
we send so much time in the house. You know,
we're at work for eight hours or more and then
we go home and we sit in front of our laptops.
And I understanding laptops also have this negative effect in
terms of the light that they produce.

Speaker 7 (02:29:33):
Yeah, they are only visible lighting. And you know, you
think about children. This is the first generation where this
is going to have a marked effect, and it already
is having a marked effect, and that you know, it
used to be you and I we would go out
and we'd be building the fort or going and doing something.
Even children's sports nowadays are usually done indoors under artificial

(02:29:54):
lighting that contains none of these longer wavelengths. And you know,
so if we can urge people to safely and you
know it, you're not You're not going to in the
afternoon after school. The kids are not going to get
a bunch of sunburns or things like that in ninety
nine flaming other places. And you know, if they're working

(02:30:15):
under a doing stuff under trees or whatever, that's that's
just more of the positive because if you if you
get a chance. Bob Posberry has some great pictures of
what's going on within the body where he shows how
the near infrared penetrates all the way through your hand
into your internal organs, and.

Speaker 13 (02:30:36):
Then the trees when you're outdoors.

Speaker 7 (02:30:38):
Are reflecting in their infra red so it's kind of
like a pair of nature sunglasses where absorbing the visible
and the UV but reflecting the near infrared into people
when you're outdoors interacting with nature. And so that's sort
of and what's really exciting is is that Bob R.
Roger Swelt is starting to he's a board certified doctor,

(02:31:00):
emergency room doctor, pulmonary doctor. He started to take his
parent patients out and seeing positive results by just simply
going outside with them.

Speaker 13 (02:31:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:31:10):
So one takeaway we get today from Scott Zimerman, who's
doing the seminar tomorrow night beginning at seven pm and
Power you America Dot or get over there and register
and learn more about this. One takeaway today, get outside
and enjoy some sunlight and forest bathing. Ron Wilson, our
gardening expert, would love to hear this. If he was
listening right now, he will be smiling with delight. This
has been fascinating, Scott Zimerman, I look forward to my

(02:31:32):
listeners joining the program tomorrow night at seven pm. Log
in and learn something and get home and get outside
for a change. Thanks for your time today, It's really fascinating.
It's eight fifty two coming up an eight fifty three
fifty five kr CD talk station. Be right back fifty
five the talk station. Hey Gary, Hey fifty four if

(02:31:55):
you five Casey D Talk Station got Jay on the line,
We're gonna let him have the final word here in
the fifty five Carenesday Morning Show. Jay, thanks for calling.
Happy Monday.

Speaker 20 (02:32:03):
Happy Monday, Brian, Hey, wanted to build on your commentary
about what a dumpster fire in California is. Recently, I
got to thinking about, you know, the Wine administration is
growing about the amount of economic development that is occurring
in Ohio and how we're winning bigley using Trump's term.

(02:32:23):
So I got to thinking about that and said, well,
what if we filed with GDP. What if we touch
the top six states in the United States by GDP
and divided the GDP by state budgets, and that would
tell me of what is for every dollar spent on
state government, what are we getting for our economy? And

(02:32:44):
California was ranked number was had the highest GDP at
like one point four trillion. You divided by their state budget,
the ratio is about nine. So for every dollar state spending,
they get nine dollars of products and services. Ohio is six,
and we are in last place out of like the
top ten. Florida is at fourteen, and.

Speaker 15 (02:33:09):
So even as bad.

Speaker 20 (02:33:10):
As that sounds, what we heard from California, unfortunately, based
on that ratio, we suck.

Speaker 13 (02:33:18):
Jay.

Speaker 1 (02:33:18):
I got a hand it to you. Every time you
call it's a cold water dose the reality here. You
are paying attention though, and I certainly appreciate it. You
keep up the good work. You know, you always have
a forum to shed a little lighter reality on what's
going on here. My friend, thanks man, have a great day.
