55KRC Monday Show - Cure Starts Now, Smitherman, Money Monday

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Five o five. I think you have gar see the
talk station Monday, say will this ideal? Yeah, no doubt

(00:33):
about it. Hey, how about those beangles? Thankfully did not
even bother trying to stay up to watch the game.
Hey's some exciting football Yesterdayay, we have you Monday, Bryan
Thomas right here. Sorry it's Monday, but we got to
do with it, deal with it, and today's the day
we deal with it. Coming up at fifty five Care
Morning Show seven oh five, Keith Destrids from the Care
Starts Now got a special opportunity to help, you know,

(00:56):
stop pediatric brain cancer and find a cure for it.
Getting a head of the holiday shopping special days like
Black Friday and Super Saturday or whatever the hell those
things are, maybe give to the charities before you go
out and spend a lot of money on stuff and things.

(01:16):
And every year I see another article gifts for the
person manned woman who has everything. If you've got everything,
do you really need a gift? Just asking out loud anyway,
Christopher Smithman, it is Monday. We hear from Christopher smith
on every Monday seven twenty for the former vice mayor
of the City of Cincinnati and is typically the case.

(01:37):
Don't know what's on is mind? Today we get to
find out together and I always enjoy the discourse with
the former vice mayor, and I hope you do as well.
I always remember fifty five cares dot com and you
can't listen live Monday Monday Brian James eighth five is
is typically the case. Today we'll talk about inflation and tariffs.
Of course, Donald Trump's big guy on tariffs. He keeps
wanting to talk about tariffs. How's that going to impact things?

(01:59):
The Fed going to adjust the rates according to whether
or not tariff's go into place. I've seen a couple
of articles on that. Uh. Brian James commentary on that one,
followed by Social Security receipts upset and the cost of
living adjustment? Are you upset about the cost of living adjustment? Well,
I know the inflation rate's gone through the roof, and

(02:20):
I doubt so this is security has kept up with it.
But Brian James give us an analysis on that, followed
by how much will Thanksgiving cost you this year? I
suppose as much as you want to spend on Thanksgiving,
but I know the cost of things has got up.
So we'll find out how it impacts the cost of turkey,
among other things. Again that begins at eight oh five

(02:41):
with Brian James. You can begin at any time you want.
If you want to give me a call five one, three, seven,
nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three taco
with pound five fifty on at and t phones trying
to see it. Yes, coming up. I do have a
commercial for fastened Pro and I am pleased to announce

(03:02):
I have a future son in law. My daughter got
engaged over the weekend. Eric finally popped the question. Uh,
and he is a hell of a guy. We're glad
we all knew it was gonna happen. I think the
only person who wasn't absolutely positive was gonna happen was
my daughter because Eric had shown a lot of folks
the ring. In fact, I had a launch appointment. It

(03:23):
was a sales lunch appointment with the owners of fast
and Pro Ray and Amanda. I said something about if
you heard anything about Eric may be getting engaged. He goes, oh,
she showed us the ring. It's like he had showed
me the ring about a month ago. So anyway, I
am a very very very very very happy dad. My
wife paulat is very very happy. Apparently Eric's parents also

(03:45):
very happy, so across the board happiness. And I am
just so pleased to announce my daughter has a fiance,
no longer her boyfriend. It's fiance Eric Hansman, my daughter
soon I presume to be Lauren. Not sure when they're
going to get married. Don't really care so much about that.
I just got the hurdle over with, and again I'm

(04:06):
excited for both of them. I really truly am. It's
blessing in the Thomas family. So let me just get
that out of my system right now. Anyhow, over fifty
five caresy dot com mentioned podcasts Freaking Me Out the
Pfizer papers Fizers Crimes against Humanity, a compilation of really
in depth, deep dive review of actual Phizer internal documents

(04:33):
that finally came out as a consequence of litigation. That's right,
they weren't going to hand these papers out to anybody,
but fortunately there's some people that are truly interested in
finding out what in the hell that the deal was
over at Fwiser in connection with the establishment of in
creation of the COVID nineteen vaccine rushed to market and
as doctor Nami Wolf pulls it, puts it in the

(04:53):
rushed to market in spite of the fact that the
clinical trials Fizer was doing work. I don't want to
use the word rig but they overlooked all kinds of
different negative health effects that that COVID nineteen vaccine caused
and adjusted their internal studies. And h just speaking with

(05:15):
doctor Wolf about the content of the book really kind
of wigged me out. And all behind the scenes, you know,
or behind the discussion and the I'm just wondering, why
why did they rush that out in spite of all
of the problems, And doctor Wolf concludes that has something

(05:37):
to do with population control nine. I'm always jaded and
cynical when it comes to people's conspiracy conclusions in that regard.
But if you look at all the apparently behind the
scenes before it came out, very well known problems that
women had after getting the COVID nineteen vaccine, you know,

(05:57):
you can draw a line from point A to point
B on that. So get a copy of the book
and get yourself all freaked out if you want. Maybe
someone somewhere in a future administration Trump administration might figure
out the nefarious realities. Maybe RFK Junior will take a
look at this as well. Maybe RFK Junior has read

(06:19):
doctor Nami Wolf's book. Anyway, you can get a copy
of that there at fifty five care Sea dot Combrian Morella,
her election thoughts, Trump appointments, and still well, lots of
controversies swirling about the Trump appointment. So I'm most excited
about this doge promising to bring sweeping change to bureaucracy.

(06:39):
Viv Grahma swimming along with Elon Musk going to be
in charge of this Department of Government Efficiency, which exists
outside of government, And they keep going back to the
conversation I had with Judge Neapaul Tano about it. I
was excited about it. I brought it up first thing
out of the gate, and he's like, Oh, this is
just another expansion of government, and no, it's not. These
folks are unpaid at least thus far the way it's envisioned.

(07:01):
They're outside of government. They're just going to offer their conclusions,
their opinions, their thoughts on what needs to be cut.
And the interesting background behind this, the Supreme Court has
laid a nice bed for all of these efficiency efforts
to actually move forward with because there's been quite a
few Supreme Court decisions of late which talked about the

(07:22):
overreach of these administrative agencies in creating rules and regulations,
basically writing laws behind the scenes and throwing them out
into the world based upon loosely written legislation that's been passed. Nope,
got to have a clear, articulated basis to make a regulation.
It must exist in the law or you can't do it.

(07:43):
Just summing up a multitude of different cases that have
come down from the Supreme Court of the past year
or two. Anyway, Ramaswami's on Bartaroma Show on Sunday Sunday
Morning Futures with Maria Bartiroma, and he said, this cost
cutting strategy is going to start with an executive action.
He said, the failures of the executive branch need to

(08:04):
be addressed because the dirty little seeker right now is
the people we elect to run the government. They're not
the ones who actually run the government. It's the unelected
bureaucrats and the administrative state that was created through executive action.
It's going to be fixed through executive action, and here
we go, he said, think about the Supreme Court's environment

(08:24):
over the last several years, they've held that many of
those regulations are unconstitutional at a large scale. Those last
four words critical at a large scale, he said. Rescind
those regulations, pull those REGs back, and then give us
the industrial logic to then downsize the size of the

(08:47):
administrative state. And the beauty of all this is it
going to be achieved through executive action without congress some
of the early wins and scurse some early wins, and
then you look at the bigger portions of the federal
government need to be addressed one by one. So because
you have the legal foundation, and you do now with
the Supreme Court's decision narrowing the legitimacy of so many

(09:10):
of these regulations that have come out, and I was
wondering on how this would ultimately turn out. Because you
have the Supreme Court law the predicate to get rid
of all these it's sort of like retroactively going back
for the last god knows how many years and getting
rid of all of the overreach from the regulatory administrators

(09:31):
state because they never had the legal authority to do
it in the first place. That's the point of these
wonderful cases. This will serve as a supreme board for
an executive action. Look, here's the Supreme Court case. Here's
the executive action rolling back all these rags because well,
you didn't have the authority to do it. That may
not be easy, but it's a great place to start

(09:52):
and to like the creativity these guys are bringing forward
in order to bring about this change. And he did
prejudic pledged to bring what he called sweeping change as
early and quickly as possible. In fact, they want this
whole office, this non governmental agency that the two of
them are going to head up looking for volunteers. By

(10:13):
the way, if you're a prominent business person and you
know something about dollars and cents in bottom line and
how to run an efficient business, get involved an unpaid position,
lots of hard work, but to bring about national exposure
and maybe you'll become a hero to the American public. Anyway,
they want this work done to be done though later
than July fourth, or twenty twenty sixth, the two hundred

(10:34):
and fiftieth anniversary of the sunning the declaration of Independence.
So the sweeping changes, Ramaswami said, the sweeping changes expected
to come from initial executive action, laying the groundwork for
Congress then to take meaningful steps in budget reductions. So
if you get rid of a lot of the crap
with executive orders, there's no need to fund it anymore.

(10:56):
You can pair back the size and scope of government spending.
And lord knows, I don't think there's anything more important
than cutting back government spending. Oh look, the Pentagon failed
its seventh straight financial law at one area of government
eight hundred and sixty plus billion dollars worth. They can't
even account for where the money went. Something wrong here,

(11:19):
boy said, I love the American military. I have tremendous
respect for him. But you think there's no fraud, waste,
and abuse in the American military. I got a bridge
or four. I want to sell you five sixteen right
now fifty five care see talk station. Feel free to
call in love to hear from if you've got a comment.
We will continue after these brief words.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Tell the.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Five point twenty on a Monday Monday Monday with Brian James,
preceded by Christopher Smithman with a smither vent and appearance
by Keith Desser. It's care starts now. I'm gonna put
some money together to cure pediatric brain cancer. What a
wonderful organization they are. Anyhow, I falling out coming out
of the last segment, of course, I mentioned the Pentagon

(12:00):
fail epic fail, seventh straight financial audit. Welcome to your government.
And again I go back to the DOGE Department, and
I'm just maybe I have overly high expectations for the
work they might be able to accomplish. But US Department
of Defense again failed its seventh consecutive financial audit budget

(12:23):
eight hundred and twenty four billion dollars. They are unable
to account for a lot of the money that they spend. Yeah,
back in twenty seventeen, they began their first ever agency
wide financial audit. I stopped at that, and I think,
you know what with the billions of dollars that flows
into any organization like that, The first time they ever

(12:43):
did an audit was twenty seventeen. Anyway, since the initial audit,
Pentagon has consistently failed to pass its subsequent audits, the
first of which failed any following year twenty eighteen. Out
of the twenty eight entities audited this year, only nine

(13:06):
received cleanup opinions. Fifteen received what they called disclaimers That
means that they were so disorganized that auditors couldn't even
determine the accuracy of their records. Let's say this to
serve as an incentive for being disorganized, doesn't it? I

(13:29):
mean either in seven audits in a row, there's been
no change being brought about. Hey, just bad. I just
screw up the papers so badly that the auditors can't
even figure out what's going on when just high behind
that one of them received what they called a qualified opinion,
which is described as meaning the financial statements were mostly
accurate but contained certain issues or exceptions that were not

(13:54):
fully compliant with standards. The Idea issued a long winded
nonsense statement, but also which included the following. The Department
is firmly committed and is taking actions to achieve an
unmodified audit opinion on its financial statements by December thirty first,
twenty twenty eight. They just give him four more years

(14:21):
and what would that be? Four more audits, then they'll
finally get it right after well. Starting out in twenty seventeen,
Pentagon Control and Michael McCord did what he what has
described his downplay the audit failure, claiming the process or
progress and rejecting the term failure altogether, he said, and

(14:43):
I quote, despite the disclaimer of opinion, which was expected,
the department has turned a corner in its understanding of
the depth and breadth of its challenges.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
So what does that suggest that they were in denial
prior to the seventh audit failure. Oh no, it's okay.
We now have an understanding of the depth and breath
of our challenges. Our records suck. Auditors can't even determine
the accuracy of the records. They suck so badly. But
we get it now. We we've we've we've, we've turned

(15:24):
around the bend on that one. He emphasized the department's
commitment to achieving a clean audit within the next four years.
I do not say we failed, As I said, we
have about half clean opinions, about half we have half

(15:44):
that are not clean opinions. So you're gonna love this one.
If someone had a report card that is these are
his words, someone had a report card that is half
good good and half not good. I don't know that

(16:04):
you call the student or the report card of failure.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Joe.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
When you were in school, what was a failing grade under?
What percentage was a fail seventy, Yeah, seventy. I know
they locks that up a little bit over the years
to I don't know the name of whatever.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
But.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
I guess he went through a different education process. He said,
we had a lot of work to do, but I
think we're making progress. Think so is twenty twenty eight achievable?
I believe so, he said, But we do have to
keep getting faster and keep getting better. Died. Okay, great,

(16:51):
That's why maybe I have an overly inflated perception of
what this doge can actually accomplish. So much money going
in and out the door that they can't even keep
track of it, And I would like to think I'm
actually inclined to think they don't even want to keep
track of it. Might be rather revealing on where the

(17:12):
money goes. And oh, I have a whole lot of
stuff this morning to talk about in that regard to
it is five twenty five right now, local stories coming
up or your phone calls always welcome, stick around.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
You right back.

Speaker 5 (17:24):
General Trump has done it.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Five nine and a happy Monday to you. Five one, three, seven,
two to three Taco a pound five fifty if you
have an AT and T phone, and don't forget get
your iHeartMedia app. While you're over a fifty five care
se dot com check out the podcast page. You can
stream the audio directly from the website or use your
iHeartMedia app. Anyhow, I got some local stories to dive

(17:48):
on into here. Somebody wrote priorities on this. This looks
like Joe Streker's writing. Since the city Council plans discussion
motion directing the administration to prioritize mental health care funding
for transgender youth. Uh motion brought forward by Counselman Mark Jefferies. Apparently,

(18:14):
according to Sharon Coolidge from The enquire reporting on this,
has a transgender adult son claiming he is concerned about
the mental health of these young people after seeing a
barrage of anti transgender political ads and reading a singular
study about high suicide rates among transgender teens. That study,

(18:36):
apparently by the Trevor Project, published in the Journal of
Nature Human Behavior. Jaell you still getting that one? Oh yeah,
of course he is. Paper copies still anyway. According to
a Journal of Nature Human Behavior, it concluded that state
laws focus on transgender issues have led to an increase

(18:56):
of up to seventy two percent. An attempted suicide by
transgender and gender non binary youth in just the past year.
Motions set to be discussed at the Council's Budget Finance
Committee one pm today. Sitting on signing Jeffrey's motion, Vice
Mayor Jean Michelle lemon Kearney and Council of Victoria Parks,

(19:19):
Jeffries asked all nine council members all Democrats, to sign,
but only two of them did. He said the motion
is aimed at finding gaps in funding. Quote. The mental
health challenge is faced by transgender and gender non bininary
youth in particular, is especially an urgent issue. By making

(19:39):
the mental health and safety services for transgender and gender
non binary youth a priority, whether it's by leveraging existing
programs and or carving out new ones where needed, is
to ensure that this crisis is addressed in an urgent
fashion so all children in our city can thrive and
live to their fullest potential. Now I speak of everybody's

(20:01):
got a list of stuff and things they want government
to fund and deal with. Everybody's got a long list,
and there is a long long list. I guess within
city Council as well. Joe, do you buy any chance
off the top of your head, have any figures on
the backlog of roads that need to be repaired in
the city of Cincinnati too many? That was the figure

(20:25):
that I read as well. Several train cars derailed on
Saturday night in Queensgate, record of the since I Fire Department,
they were dispatched. The train went into the thirteen hundred
block or West merrig Way around nine pm. Train cars
operated by CSX and a whole bunch of folks showed
up since St please o Dot Metropolitan Sewer District and

(20:46):
as well as the Fire Department. They found eight train cars,
which were carrying a shipment of new automobiles derailed. Some
of them struck the support columns for the sixth Street Viaduct.
One actually disconnected and fell into the Mill Creek. No
hazardous waste materials on the train cars, according to what
police told local news WCPO appreciate Martlee Shram and Max

(21:10):
Shillen reporting on it. Nobody was injured as well, which
is great. ODOT Bridges Spector shut down the sixth Street
Viaduct to make sure there were no structural integrity issues.
Excuse me, yes, still struggling. Viaduct reopened roughly three hours
after the derailment. Recording the statement, CSX said the trail

(21:32):
train car that was in the Mill Creek was recovered,
so they said, it's focused on the health and safety
and on site staff and personnel mitigating the risk of
the environment caused the derailment. Still under investigation. Well, thankfully
no hazardous materials. I got some real bright spot in
that one thirty two year old man shot and killed

(21:55):
Saturday evening in the East End. According to Sincin Police Department,
they showed up at the twenty four hundred block of
Callahan Street about six fifteen pm for reports of a
person shot. Once got their, officers found Dustin Colvin suffering
from multiple gunshot wounds. First responders attempted life saving measures,
but he was pronounced dead at the scene. Since they
police has not identified any suspects in the shooting, the

(22:17):
investigation is ongoing. However, if you have any information, the
police would love you to give him a call. Homicide
unit is the number five one, three, three, five, two
thirty five forty two. So there's your local stories thus far.
It's about five thirty five right now. Got stack of
stupid coming up. If you can stick around for that,

(22:37):
or feel free to call if you got a subject
matter you'd like to talk about. I'd love to hear
about it, so feel free to do that. I'll be
right back five thirty nine on a Monday and a half.
He one T you I five won three seven, four
nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three taco
tome Fi fifty. If you have an eight and T,
phone over to the stack. Oh stupid. Kind of like

(22:58):
a stack of gloom and doom here this morning. But
here's one that I added to the stack of stupid
serves as a nice springboard. This is some of the
other conversations we're gonna have this morning, at least some
of the topics I wanted to go on. This is,
I think, definitionally speaking, this is bat crap insanity. There's

(23:20):
a professor a at least singular in this regard. I'm
not quite sure if this is a widespread theory, but
the guy is a professor at British University or I'm sorry,
woman Catherine, yesaw, she lectures. That's what Breitbard describes as
the prestigious Queen Mary University of London. She has determined

(23:44):
excuse me and I apologize again for the cough. It's
just lingering. There's not a thing I can do about it.
Has declared the subject of geology geology. It's racist. The
subject of geology is racist and has been unduly influenced

(24:04):
by colonization. She condemned geology as a subject that was
riven by systemic or systematic racism. Thank you for the bubbling,
bog and stupidity, Joe Stracer, That's exactly what I was
thinking about. Study of prehistoric life through fossils also branded
as an enabler for racism of the professor referring to

(24:26):
the field of paleontology as pale ontology huh. Dalyr Mail
reported that she stated in her book Geologic Life that
the extraction of metals like gold and iron has created hierarchies,

(24:46):
pushed materialism, ravaged environments, and was the root cause of
climate change. Weren't the Incans big on digging up gold, Joe?
The Mayans ancient civilizations? Did the Egyptians also use a

(25:08):
lot of gold anyways? Moving on, claiming that geology continues
to function within a white supremacist practice, she referenced the
theft of land mining and other geological practices having led
to the creation of white supremacy and a resulting geo
trauma left undefined. Her new book focuses on geology between

(25:37):
the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, putting aside all of the
geological realities prior to the seventeenth nineteenth centuries anyway, suggesting
the notion that non white people have a closer relationship
to land than white people. Accord to the Mail Report, broadly,
this is what she said, black, brown and indigenous subjects

(25:59):
having intimacy with the earth that is unknown to the
structural position of whiteness. Countering this ridiculousness, one person at least,
we have one willing to go on record, GIMMI News reports.
Chris McGovern, the chairman of the Campaign for Real Education

(26:22):
Real Education, dismissed the assertions entirely quote, geology is no
more racist than fish and chips. It's an entirely neutral term.
Those seeking to decolonize the curriculum are in fact building
their own sinister empire of thought control and intolerance. He

(26:44):
pointed out that practices like mining are almost as old
as mankind and not race dependent. That's the point I
was suggesting earlier when I mentioned the well the Incoans
and the Mayans.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
Now, who can argue with that?

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Holy people are just if you think it up and
just write it down and say it, then someone's going
to believe you and buy into it at all and
ultimately fund it. As I pointed out earlier, that one
relates to some of the other things I want to
talk about. Lay in the program. Your stupid mouth shut
day Ratliff, You're awesome. Sarasota man arrested last Thursday night

(27:21):
after Palm Beach police said he pulled up to marl
Lago and asked to speak with President elect Donald Trump
while driving a stolen car. Fifty two year old Farbaud Dolat.
That's who was identified as the guy driving the car.
Cord to the rest report, he drove a rental car
listed under a woman's name. Please contacted the woman. She

(27:42):
told him that she and the suspect were planning on
buying a vehicle, but when she went back to the
bank to withdraw the money, he took off in the
rental car without her permission. Sarah Son to Caddy Sheriff
Saw was confirmed to the Palm Beach Police the vehicle
had been reported stolen. He's now facing charge of the
vehicle theft operating a motor vehicle without a valve license.
Apparently the least the third person to be arrested at

(28:04):
mar A Lago since the summer. You're fine, just people thinking,
just drive on in there. Hey, I'm here. That's five
forty five fifty five k se DE talk station call Zimmer.
Zimmer Heating and air Conditioning taking care of folks for
more than seventy five years, third generation. Wonderful folks at

(28:25):
Zimmer Heating and air Conditioning doing a fabulous job and
making sure you're home, safe, efficient and comfortable. They'll keep
your systems running longer, you know. One of the maintenance programs.
They've got a bunch of different programs that they offer.
Come over. I think I guess once a year, maybe twice,
check the system, make sure it's clean, efficiently running, get
ahead of problems that'll extend the life of your air
conditioning and your heating unit. But you know what, sometimes

(28:46):
they just have ended their useful life. It's over, it's
done with. You can't lay hands on it. You need
to replace it. And it's a perfect time to do
that right now. If it's your air conditioning unit. The
folks at Zimmer are now offering a twenty two hundred
dollars cool carrier comfort rebate. That's right, carrier. The folks
that invented air conditioning are offering the wonderful opportunity through

(29:06):
Zimmer to save a heapload of money. I call twenty
two hundred bucks off of heapload of savings. To take
advantage of that while it's still lasts. I figure with
winter coming fast approaching, they're gonna have some different opportunity
for it in terms of heating unit. It's but in
the meantime, if your existing unit's gone belly up, then
Zimmer are the folks that call, and they are always
the folks to call when it comes to heating and

(29:28):
air conditioning service and repair installation, and the leaders in
twenty four hour days, seven day a week emergency service.

(29:48):
Fifty five KRC Don Junior here guys five forty nine
and fifty five KRCD talk station. Brian Thomas in front
of the stack of stupid phone calls, relays well him
from Christopher Smith and at seven and twenty create Keith
Desters from the Caro starts now preseeds him talking about
a wonderful opportunity to help them gather money to cure

(30:09):
a pediatric brain cancer. Someday it's going to happen, and
of course it's Monday, so we get money Monday with
Brian James a datoh five. In the meantime, we go
to Auckland, New Zealand, where what is described as a
randy cuffle a couple little embarrassed they were spotted getting
intimate in the middle of a golf course sixteenth hole,

(30:31):
specifically the Clarks Beach Golf Club. A jogger described as
being so stunned that she took a picture posted the
image on face Graham Facebook, rather claiming that she thought
the duo might have been cheating on their respective partners.

(30:53):
I don't know how you conclude that, but whatever, sharing
the performer, performer, the performance, you can call it performance.
I suppose she captioned it. Hey Romeo and Juliet seven
fifteen on a Monday, really said she documented the act.
I documented the act. A couple appeared to show that

(31:13):
they were aware they were not alone, speaking of local
news out there the jogger air to concern. She said,
I got my phone and just did a quick video,
probably four seconds. But by the time they had stopped moving.
I think they were aware of my presence. After my run,
I did see a man and a woman like in
the distance playing golf, and they looked like they were

(31:35):
in their fifties or sixties, so I had a feeling
it might have been them, but they weren't making eye
contact with me. If there's some way you can work
the mulligan into that one, maybe it'll suffice to just
read the headline on this one. I suppose headline. You'd

(31:58):
be do a phrasing if people exactly what the headline said,
Joe headline, I spent twelve hundred pounds getting my penis tattooed.
Now I can't have sex there. You go better late
than never, you know. It's strange about that. It's the
article itself happens to be like four pages long, and

(32:26):
I'm reminded of my own son, But why are you
doing that? Okay? Residents of a Scottish town woke up
to police outside of home after I heard of cows
took over the street. Police called the Hillford Road in
the historic town of Ayr after five cows spotted grazing
in the gardens. Animals left residence baffled after they were

(32:48):
first seen around eight thirty in the morning when a
neighbor sharing a photo online. Police car and a van
can be seen parked along the street and cows behaving
themselves in the clip, with the animals just calmly standing
by the driveway of the property. Eventually, the police helped
bring the wandering farm animals back home. That's about it.

(33:10):
That's the extent of that one. They talk about instances
that happened earlier in the year where herds of Coyle's
escaped from their fields before being well handed over to
animal rescues rescue crews. Some stacks stupid stories are better
than other. Oh, this is a twisted one. A Georgia

(33:37):
mother of three who killed her two little boys by
placing them in an oven and turning them turning it
on will now be spending the rest of for life
in bars. According with Judge Atlanta ruling on Friday, Lamora
Williams twenty four convicted of a whole bunch of crimes,
including to count some murder, for the twenty seventeen deaths
of her sons, ages one and two, who were killed

(34:01):
roughly an hour apart. The woman had called nine to
one one on the same day. Quote when I came in,
the stove was laying on my son, my my youngest
son's head, and my other son was laid out on
the floor with his brains laid out on the floor.
That's what she said to the dispatcher. I don't know
what to do. I just came home from work bad.

(34:22):
Then in February twenty eighteen, she was indicted on four
counts of fell and the murdered, two counts and murdered,
two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of concealing the
deaths of another, and one kind of making false statement.
Later charged with two counts of cruelty to children in
the first degree, one kind of cruelty to children in
d second degree, one additional kind of aggravated assault, one
kind of obstruction of law enforcement officer, and one kind
of battery resulting in substantial physical harm. Defendant tol poolice

(34:47):
she left all three of her children at home with
the caregiver from noon until eleven thirty pm in the day,
and returned home to find that they had died. Caregiver
was gone sometime between midnight on October twelfth, twenty seventeen,
and eleven pm the next day today. She quote knowingly
and intentionally killed the two toddlers by placing them in
and oven and turning it on. That's according to the
rest warrant issued by the Atlanta Police Department. Autopsy reports

(35:10):
revealed the boys heads were stuck in a tipped over oven.
Medical examiner disagree with the police claims that the children
had been burned. These thermal changes appear to be entirely
from dry heat and changes from prolonged exposure to heat.
According to the medical examiner, it would require an extensive
amount of time to get to this degree. She Prosecutors

(35:33):
stuck by the police department's version of the evidence, contact
of the defendant's narrative to jurors minds, and according to
the court room report, the boy's father also called nine
one one roughly the same times William hesitant to give
the dispatcher her address. Father described the video call in
comments to Atlanta based ABC there, calling it a real

(35:56):
horror movie like Friday the thirteenth. She was convicted of
fourteen counts against her, quickly sentenced to a life term
in prison without the possibility of parol, on top of
which an additional thirty five years. Well, I one may
argue justice was at least served in that one. What

(36:16):
a horrific, horrific reality. Anyhow, I'm usually looking for a
little more humor than that, but what can you say.
It is a Monday. Let's move on to different topics
coming up off top of the hour. Look forward to
hearing from you. You got a lot to go through,
including how is it that Biden has now allowed or
approved Ukraine's use of long range missiles inside Russia. I

(36:42):
don't think the election had anything to do with that.
Stick around. I'll be right back after the news.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
There we go again, another news update.

Speaker 5 (36:48):
We're going to get all the facts.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
An ear full of information at.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
The top of the hour and they'll break it down fast.
Fifty five krs.

Speaker 5 (36:56):
The talk station, First Financial Bank.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
It is so six here if if you five kre
CD talk station. If we're having Monday to you, I
hope you're gonna have one any way, and I hope
you can stick around all morning. Coming up in an hour,
the return of Keith Deserts from the Cure starts now.
Their goal, well, the home run cure figure out how
to cure pediatric brain cancer, may be able to cure
all cancers. And there's been wonderful, wonderful inroads in a

(37:21):
cancer research thanks to the wonderful work of every single
human being who's contributed to the cure starts now and
Keith's gonna be talking about a sort of get ahead
of you know, Black Monday or Black Fridays sales and
all that, by trying to get people to think about,
you know, contributing to charities ahead of time, make your
little contribution before the spending begins on gifts and stuff.

(37:43):
So that's the method they're going with this year. Kei's
gonna explain all that to us coming up in an hour.
Looking forward to having him back on the program. Just
a wonderful, wonderful man. He and his wife, of course,
had to deal with the ultimate challenge, the loss of
a child to geoblastoma, pediatric brain cancer many years ago.
But they didn't just cry about it and wallow and misery,

(38:04):
and they started the care starts now on millions and
millions of dollars. It is now a global organization, so
a great thing to be affiliated with them, and I
appreciate the opportunity to do so. So an hour ahead
of time with Keith, followed by seven twenty Christopher Smith
and former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati with
the Smith Event. We're gonna hear in two hours Monday, Monday,
Brian James. We'll talk about inflation and tariffs, social Security

(38:28):
recipients a little upset about their cost of living adjustment
and how much is Thanksgiving going to cost you this year?
It depends on who's coming over the house right anyway,
we'll talk about that with Brian James. Love to talk
to you if you want to call. I'd certainly appreciated.
Get me out of this lingering ongoing and probably will
never go away cough I'm dealing with, but also another

(38:51):
I'm gonna put a plug in because I'm such a happy,
happy man. My wife and are extremely happy. Yes, is
my daughter has gotten engaged got engaged over the weekend.
So there I said it out loud again. I'm proud,
I'm happy, everybody's happy. It's great looking forward to having
Eric part of the family. Officially feels like he's already
a member of our family right now, but soon to be.

(39:12):
I presume, Lauren Hansman. We really adore Eric. He's a
good man, and everybody's happy when they're on their side
of the family as well, which is a good thing.
You don't want to start off on the wrong foot
on something like that. Anyway. I mentioned at the outset
of the morning show this morning by Viva Gramma Swimming
being on FNC Sunday Morning Futures talking about this new

(39:34):
DOGE Department of Government efficiency, and I hope I'm not
overly optimistic about what they can accomplish. But he, along
with Elon Musk, are going to be you know, pirting
this non governmental organization. No, it's not going to cost
you anything. This is apparently all volunteer work, and they're
going to start cutting and they're going to start with
executive orders. Executive orders predicated on Supreme Court decisions which

(39:56):
have already ruled that so much of the regulatory state
that's in place right now, is illegal, was extra constitutional,
was beyond the law. So you start there and you
go backward, and you look in and do it a
deep dive analysis of all the regulations exceeded the scope
of whatever legislation they sprung from, and a tremendous amount

(40:18):
of work can be accomplished along those lines. And of course,
pivoting over to Congress, Republicans, you're in control. Now, let's
start cutting spending, said, over the last forty years, even conservatives,
we talked a big game for forty years about cutting
the federal government, about reducing the scope of the federal government.
Politicians haven't been able to do it, stating the obvious,

(40:41):
and so Elon and I were not politicians, were businessmen.
Were coming at it from the outside. Sometimes if you
go inside, you become native to this system. Said, I
applaud Trump or setting this up for success. But I
come back to the principle in the early months, score
quick wins through executive action, show it can be done,
and then I think will lay the groundwork for Congress

(41:01):
to have the UH to take the meaningful steps for
the future. A lot of these discussions are theoretical to
do cut different entitlement programs or whatever. Let's just start
with the fact that there is massive waste, fraud and
abuse right now. Federal contractors are really exploiting the federal government.
You could take the haircuts across the board and there
will be no worse off for it. Well, and that

(41:24):
goes back to the article I read about the Pentagon
failing it's seventh straight financial audit, seven in a row.
Looking at this since twenty seventeen, they haven't passed a
single one. Oh, blah blah. But it's okay, Well, we'll
be able to get it all cleaned up by twenty
twenty eight. Just give us four more years. She's got

(41:45):
two words for you, and it ain't happy birthday. As
dad he used to say. You heard about some of
the of the Trump's picks for hadding up the various agencies,
and some folks are a little upset about Pete Hegzeth
and it really kind of irks me quite frankly. The
man served. He's a veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars,

(42:06):
but he is always mentioned as being a Fox News commentator. First, no,
that's not what qualifies him for the job. And you
can argue he's not qualified when we talk all day
long about that versus someone else who has military experience.
But his Fox News commentary is irrelevant but nonetheless across

(42:31):
the board Fox News commentator, oh and parenthetically veteran of
the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Anyway, you got a little
insight into what he's planning on doing, hmmm, most notably
undoing the Diversity Equity inclusion the DEEI and all the
training that goes along that within the military, which has
been put in place of actual military training, you know,

(42:54):
teaching people how to break stuff and kill people. I
always like to boil down the reality of the military
is that what do you want your military to do?
Win wars? Win wars involves what killing people in breaking
things strategically. Anyway, back in late August, Trump said that
if you want to have a sex change or a

(43:15):
social justice seminar, then you can do it somewhere else.
You're not going to do it in the Army, Navy,
Coast Guard, Air Force, Base, Force, the United States Marine. Sorry,
military brass that led to these absurd and insulting initiatives
will likewise be removed and they will no longer be
in command. They're going to be gone, gone so fast.

(43:35):
That was Trump backing it up. He appoints or wants
to a point exet exact. Last week, said on The
Sean Ryan Show, Well, first of all, you got a fire.
You know, you got to fire the Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs, any general that was involved, general, admiral, whatever,
that was involved in any of the dee I woke,

(43:56):
woke s word, it's got to go. He wrote a book,
The War on Warriors, in which he said, our generals
are not ready for this moment in history, not even close.
The next president of the United States need to radically
overhaul the Pentagon's senior leadership to make us ready to
defend our nation and defeat our enemies. Lots of people

(44:20):
need to be fired. You note that at the Pentagon
you can fire generals, unlike say the CIA or Department
of Justice, where it's hard to fire senior officials because
they're protected. According to Representative Chris Stewart, who's also been
working on the transition team for the Department of Defense,
they're considering draft executive order establishing a Warrior Board that'd

(44:43):
be retired military personnel. They have power to review the
various leaders of the American military and figure out whether
they're unfit for leadership or not, then make recommendations over
the president. Much inke that Doge, she's going to make
recommendations of the president on where to cut idea. Pentagon
requested funding to the tune of Fox News reporting one

(45:07):
hundred and fourteen million dollars for DEI initiatives last year
or this calendar year to be used for programs and
initiatives aimed at furthering DEIA and incorporating DEIA values, objectives
and considerations and how we do business and execute our missions. Okay,

(45:30):
let's just put yourself in a position of Ukrainian soldier
fighting on the front lines against the Russians. They're worried
about where they're amos coming from. I'm sure the Russians
feel kind of the same way, whether they're going to
see their families again. Do you think any of them
are thinking about diversity, equity inclusion and do the extent
they're equity hires among the front lines. Maybe they're just

(45:51):
equity hires and they're not trained to be the most
efficient fighting folks anywhere. Isn't that what you want in
his book, Hezeth row DEI amplifies differences, creates grievances, and

(46:13):
excludes anyone who won't bow down to the cultural Marxist
revolution ripping through the Pentagon. Forget DEI the acronym. The
acronym should be d I E or ied. It will
kill our military worse than any Ied ever could. He
went on, the left isn't just interested in purging Trump supporters.

(46:38):
Their ideology is based on marginalizing whatever's normal because they
think normal is always oppressive. By their logic, the military
runs on the most normal and most oppressive things of
all strong men. Just being a guy who hits the
gym means you're oppressing everyone around you. He also said

(47:04):
a big reason for fewer training accidents, which apparently there
are it is because of less training, more time than
ever being spent on social justice, PowerPoint moralizing and meeting
those metrics in today's military is the most important standard
to meet. Every unit knows that social justice, transgender, woke
training is the top priority. Not doing this training or

(47:28):
not doing it properly, we'll get a commander or a
junior leader fired. Not doing real field training become secondary.
His words, So I like that, considering he well is
a venter of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, did a
pretty good job in the American military, is seen at firsthand,

(47:49):
and in spite of the fact that he's Vox News contributor,
I think the guy's got some right ideas, at least
in so far as how to reform the military back
to well a well oiled fighting machine to protect them
America's interest six seventeen. Candy, I will get your call
as soon as I come back. So I just looked
up and saw you there, not to overlook you, but
got in a role there. Want to mention USA Installation,

(48:11):
which is back to ninety nine dollars a month interest
free at any price. USA installation is the right way
to go because it saves your money makes your home
more comfortable. Right, so get your home insulated before the
cold weather really hits in in earnest. You'll save the
heatload of money and your heating bills. Your house will
be much more comfortable with the USA Premium phone in
the exterior walls because the highest R value phone, so

(48:32):
you could either be under insulated or have no insulation,
and a free inspection by USA will determine that and
at ninety nine dollars a month interest free. I have
lots and lots of listeners who saved more than that
monthly on their energy bills. Yeah, your home can be
so poorly insulated more than ninety nine dollars a month
in savings, a lot more in some cases. And my

(48:54):
friend Jeff had the whole thing paid off in just
two years of energy savings. What a wonderful thing. Another
oneful thing, twelve hundred dollars energy tax. Good it when
you're doing your taxes next year, take twelve hundred dollars off.
It's like getting a check for doing what the right
thing all the time. So ninety nine dollars a month
interest free. Give them a call for that free inspection.
Five one three three eight one three sixty two six.

That's three point eight one FOAM. Learn more online, Head
over to the website. That's USA Installation dot Net.

Speaker 5 (49:21):
Fifty five KRC Celebrate six twenty two to fifty five
KRC detalk station, Happy E Monday.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
Try to make it one anyway. I'm going to go
to the phones. I promise Candy should be first. Five one, three,
seven four nine to fifty five hundred eight hundred eight
two to three talk. Thanks for holding Candy, Welcome to
the fifty five KRC Morning Show.

Speaker 6 (49:37):
Good morning, Thank you. I just want to note that
there's I believe sixty three days left in the Biden administration.
Sixty three. I think I'm counting down. I'm wondering what
what they're gonna They did stuff in the first ten
days and quit, and they're gonna urgently do things in

(50:00):
the last ten days.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
Probably like approve Ukraine using long range missiles into Russia.
Uh huh, that's a little frightening.

Speaker 6 (50:12):
The countdown has begun as of November sixth, and Trump
is marching on, so we can't Uh. He's not flacken, No.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
He's not. He's hitting the ground running as fast as
he can. I appreciate that he's rolled out his cabinet
proposals real early on, give him ready a very clear
indication of what he wants to do. I am more
excited about this Doze group than anything because someone needs
a cut government and you got two multi millionaire slash
billionaires running it. They don't need any money. They're doing
it from the bottom of their heart and hope for

(50:48):
a better future for our country. I mean, those are
all real positive signals. And I got a lot of
respect for both Evey Grahma Swimming, Elon Musk for what
they've been on to perform in business. So let's give
it a shot. Let's try to cut we we all
know that there's plenty of areas to cut. We can
probably come on with our own list of book long
worth of areas. I got a bunch of multiple articles

(51:10):
doing exactly that. But let's first get to Rick's call. Hey, Rick,
thanks for calling this morning.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (51:16):
Oh? Is it?

Speaker 3 (51:17):
Nick?

Speaker 1 (51:17):
I'm sorry? Nick, I apologize. Welcome to the morning show.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
Good morning, Brian. I think you might be familiar. I'm
not certain, though. Do you know how every time they
do a continuing resolution at the very last minute, Yes,
they put in the standard boilerplate language says as the
Secretary deems.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (51:41):
And it goes back to that Supreme Court legislation.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
And when that Supreme Court legislation came down, it was
only about ten days after.

Speaker 7 (51:50):
Excellon already filed a suit.

Speaker 3 (51:53):
Against the SuDS over their constraints on anmar VAC has
particular ramifications for freaking. It might be an issue for somebody.

Speaker 1 (52:05):
You know, maybe, but it's not the concept. It's not
Supreme Court legislation and Supreme Court opinions. See that's a problem.
That's okay, But there is Supreme Court legislation. That's when
you get like Roe v. Wade, you know, whole cloth,

(52:25):
you know, actual legislation written by jurists, which is not
their role. So I'm sorry I had to jump on
that little component, but I'm aster, well, I didn't.

Speaker 3 (52:34):
Go to law school.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
That's today.

Speaker 7 (52:37):
I'm allowed to be excused on my igor.

Speaker 3 (52:42):
I don't think I got blonde hair. I got double excuses.
Listen that The whole point is they filed that lawsuit
and that is really gotten by very quietly, and I'm
sure that the Biden.

Speaker 7 (52:58):
Administration has been able to try and slow that down
as best as they're able.

Speaker 3 (53:03):
But that's not going to be able to be stopped.

Speaker 7 (53:05):
No, it's not, because what happens is it's impifications everywhere.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
Yes, every piece of legislation from this point forward is
going to have to very specifically identify the role that
the administrative state has. And if it doesn't administrates, not
an administrative state isn't gonna be able to shoehorn rules
and regulations into some other piece of legislation, which is
what they do all the time. That's how a tablespoon
of water on private land can be considered a navigable

(53:33):
stream or something. It's nonsensical, it's way beyond the pale.
It has nothing to do with what was originally contemplated
by the environmental legislation ergo, it is not valid that
is in place right now. So funny going forward basis. See,
this is where the retroactive look comes from the Doge
group Elon Musk Vive Gramma swimming making executive order suggestions

(53:57):
because that is the law now. So look, we've taken
to look at all these different administrations, all or these
different pieces of legislation and the rules and REGs that
sprung from them. And here is the entire list, volumes,
thousands of pages of regulations that were way beyond the pale,

(54:17):
and their ergo have been deemed by the Supreme Court
to be unlawful, illegal, beyond the scope of the legislation,
outside of their power eradicate all of them. You can
go back decades and do that. The world will be
a completely different place if they're successful with this an
absolutely completely different places. And so to undo the eradication

(54:38):
of those rules which exceeded the authority, the Congress would
have to go back and enact legislation that specifically provides
for those agency rules and REGs. And I don't see
a Republican administration doing that. So we could be free
of a substantial regulatory burden on a going forward basis.

(55:00):
If they stick to their guns and the principles that
they've outlined, it's going to be a beautiful thing. Feel
free to call five one, three, seven, four nine fifty

Feel free to call five one, three, seven four nine

fifty on AT and T phones and at fifty five
case dot com, where you can get freaked out by
doctor Naomi Wolfe's book compilation the Pfeiser Papers Pfiser's Crimes
against Humanity. Talked to her on Friday and just really

(01:02:13):
could not believe what I was hearing from the doctor.
And the good thing about that book, first question out
of the gate to her was the source materials that
comprise that book came directly from Peiser's own records as
a consequence of litigation requests for information FO you and otherwise.

(01:02:34):
Litigation resulted the Infeiser being forced to disclose all of
the research they did leading up to the COVID nineteen vaccine.
And it will freak you out. I mean, just listen
to the podcast. You don't have to believe me. Look
at the researchers who did all the work it comprised
the book that she put together. She's like the editor
of the book. She didn't draft it herself, but this

(01:02:55):
is again source material from Pfiser, just scary and her
conclusions are really what is the most scary about everything
in there? So that's one podcast you should really check into.
My friend Maureen suggest that that should be on the
short list for best of shows down the road when
I'm taking time off or I'm otherwise sick anyhow, and

(01:03:19):
everybody's got a list. Announcement they've been coming ever since.
The Trump you know, transition team has announced this Department
of Government Efficiency to be headed up by Elon Musk
and Viva Gramma Swaman. I know I'm talking a lot
about it this morning, but I'm excited about that. We
need to cut the spending and government and all the fraud,
wasted abuse is just overwhelming. So let's go to the

(01:03:39):
Daily Caller for their list, because everybody's got one.

Speaker 3 (01:03:44):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:03:44):
Right now. The current administration, the Biden Harris administration, apparently
on track to have paid out over one trillion dollars
in improper payments by the time Trump takes office the
end of January. Trillion a thousand billion. I mean, I

(01:04:06):
like to emphasize that, because I did. Everybody's sort of
eyes glaze over when you throw around a trillion here
and a trillion there, and oh my god, it doesn't
mean anything anymore. You're looking out of a landscape of
one thousand stacks of one billion dollars. Each billion dollars

(01:04:28):
represents the stack of one thousand million dollars. It's a
lot of money, and that's well. Improper payments. Improper payments,
defined by our federal government, is any disbursement made by
the government to the wrong person, in the wrong amount
or for the wrong reason. Let's point out regular examples

(01:04:49):
of improper playments includes erroneous payments made through Medicaid and medicare,
misallocated COVID nineteen eight, benefits paid to dead people, and
taxpayer funds to lost lost to fraud. Large sums of
improper payments are not a problem unique to the Biden
Harris administration, of course, go back to the Trump administration.
The government disclosed eight hundred and fourteen billion dollars in

(01:05:13):
inflation adjusted improper payments. You know this could only come
about and the government is so huge and so ridiculously large,
that there's no way in God's green Earth that can
account for all the money that's flowing out the door again.
Going back to the story, I started a morning show
with the pentagons, failed at seventh audit with a promise

(01:05:40):
that they'll get it right by twenty twenty eight seventh
straight financial audit. Anyhow, you can recover some of these
the Biden Harrison administration of the close to one trilling
that will be paid out over the current over the
four year term, they recovered about fifty one billion dollars

(01:06:01):
that of the two hundred and thirty five point seven
billion that it erroneously paid out, and just calending your
twenty twenty three tax dollars funding LGP activism abroad, get
a load of some of the money that you and
I are working each and every day to pay for.
Spokesman for the State Department they previously told explain that

(01:06:22):
promoting LGBT inclusion in other countries is a foreign policy
priority of the current administration. Under Biden, the State Department,
as well as the United States Agency for International Development
USA have spent millions of dollars working to fund transgender surgeries,

(01:06:46):
bankroll LGBTQ activists, and engage pro transgender I guess social
engineering not in our country, although they're doing it here,
but in other country. Court of Reporting USA gave two
million dollars to Associacion Lambda, which is a Guatemalan based

(01:07:09):
organization to engage in pro LGBT activism and provide people
with gender affirming care. This organization attempts to influence elections
in Guatemala and meets with government officials to engage in advocacy. Meanwhile,
State Department funded the production of Again in This One
funded a production of a play in North Macedonia where

(01:07:33):
the play features God as a bisexual that has constant
sex with Hermaphrodeitic, angels and communists are painted in a
positive light. I can only read what's written, folks in
another time, in another place, I would have called a
giant barber streiss and flag on that description. But you

(01:07:53):
know where we are these days. He thanks Jo being
your researcher with a heritage foundation, a more conservative organization.
Simon Hankinson wrote and report a couple of years ago.
Americans are far from agreeing on how to deal with race,
sex and gender, and schools and workplaces that would be Americans.
Even when the US national consensus is there, Restraint is

(01:08:17):
always necessary and attempting to convince other nations that one's
own values should be theirs, like, for example, US trying
to oppose these particular values LGBTQ plus IA whatever on. Oh,
I don't know Muslim countries who don't agree to or
abide by the idea that it's even appropriate behavior. And

(01:08:39):
yet we spend a whole bunch of money alienating those
nations and alienating their citizenry from the United States, who
they look upon as completely batcrap and saying, now you've
got a finite amount of money and you're trying to
curry favor with other nations. Do you really want to
try and change their culture that radically when they do
not abide. That's what's going on going on. That's the

(01:09:01):
point of his comment of the Heritage Foundation. So, I mean,
I could go on for hours and hours on this.
There's a couple of illustrations that the Daily Caller pulled out.

check out his website and a lot of the projects
he's done over the here is not all of them,
mind you, but a lot of them. He's done kitchens
large and small jobs, both large and small, just like
changing out cabinets and countertops as a small job, or

(01:09:43):
completely gutting your entire kitchen space and starting from scratch,
which is what John did for us right there at
the beginning, talking about design, flow form, function, better storage solutions.
He has got at all a really really nice guy

from Keith, destric from the care starts now at top
of the our new special opportunity to help find a
cure for cancer across the board, and it's nearly beginning
with pediatric brain cancer and anytimes going to head over
to the phones, Bobby was kind enough to hold over
the breake there, Bobby, welcome back to the morning show.
It's always good to hear from you, my friend.

Speaker 4 (01:11:39):
Hey, happy Monday, my brother. It's the beginning of the
end and the end of the beginning. Well, I got
a couple of little things for you today, all right.
One thing is we can save a little over five
million dollars by taking the seven twenty four protection from
doctor Fuci. He still has a complete security detail on

(01:12:00):
him five million dollars a year.

Speaker 1 (01:12:01):
Yeah, isn't that weird that he gets protection and literally
nobody else in government other than like former presidents and
vice presidents and people of that level get protection. I mean,
I don't know. Maybe did doctor Fauci do something wrong
to the American people that would lead him to be
subject to some sort of maybe threat. Perhaps, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:12:21):
He did something right, he resigned.

Speaker 1 (01:12:23):
Well that is true. Well he saw the right out
of the wall.

Speaker 4 (01:12:30):
You're still there, really, yes, sir, I'm saying the missile
system that they are deploying in Ukraine, it's being manned
by US troops. People don't know that they haven't been
trained on it yet.

Speaker 1 (01:12:42):
Yes, I did see reporting that we did send troops
into Ukraine to service our equipment, and that is not
a good thing. Remember how the Vietnam War escalated. We
started with advisors, didn't we, Bobby, Yes, sir, Yeah, this
is that ATACAM system. ATACMS, which is army tactical missile system,

(01:13:04):
requires specialized knowledge and of course access to specialized information
and knowledge which requires a US security clearance that only
American Americans can provide. Meaning we are directly involved in
direct warfare with the Russians, including launching missiles deep into
Russian territory.

Speaker 4 (01:13:24):
One other thing too, it's a short walk from Belarus
into Kieo, remember that very short walk.

Speaker 1 (01:13:33):
I don't know quite how I'm supposed to interpret that, Bobby,
I sure appreciate the call. Yeah, it's an really interesting development,
on top of which you know you have the approval,
and why late this late in the game, Biden's been
holding back the approval of Ukraine's use of these long
range missile systems. They apparently go up to like one

(01:13:54):
hundred and ninety miles, which will allow them to hit
the building up of North Korean troops as well as
some other Russian troops. Is fifty thousand troops that Russia
has amassed ten thousand soldiers from North Korea, and they're
outside of the range of I guess what Ukraine has
been using. So you got access to these longer range missiles.

(01:14:16):
They're saying that they could then attack those particular forces.
But astute observers pointed out that well, these Attakams surface
the service missiles strike between one hundred and hundred and
ninety miles away. Russia can simply move most of its
war material further away in many cases has already done so.

(01:14:36):
So maybe well we'll hold we'll hold back authority to
use them until the Russians get the idea that we're
going to allow authority for the Ukrainians to use them,
and by that time they'll have moved everybody out of
the area that could be impacted them impacted by them
rendering them. Well, I guess pointless. I don't know nothing

(01:14:58):
in this entire conflict. It makes any sense to me.

Happy Monday.

Speaker 3 (01:15:54):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:15:54):
One of the nice things about being the host of
the fifty five krsite Morni Show as I finish on
my eighteenth year, as the opportunity to spread the word
on causes that I just think are absolutely wonderful and
to be able to, you know, spread the word and
let people know about it and maybe get people to
help out, maybe inspire people to help out. It's just
been one of the true blessings of this job. And

(01:16:14):
for almost as long as I've been on radio, one
of the organizations that I've been trying to spread news
about is the Cure Starts Now. I was so inspired
when I first met Keith and Brooke Desrich and they're
obviously very sad. Tale that started the Cure Starts Now,
which has just been a wonderful organization. They lost their
daughter to pediatric brain cancer, and you know, as many

(01:16:36):
people do, you can wallow in misery and you can
you know, just sit back and say, oh God help
me a bad hand and woe is me, or you
can learn from it and decide you're going to do
something about it. And that was what the inspiring thing
about it was. They learned, you know, they dealt with
their tragedy and they still deal with it to this day.
But what a wonderful outcome after so many years. The
Cure Starts Now going strong is now a global operation

(01:17:00):
thanks to folks like my listeners who help out and
contribute and participate and this strong community that they've created.
Keith Destertz, Welcome back to the Morning Show, my friend.
It's a real pleasure having you on to talk about
the giving first campaign he got going on right now.

Speaker 10 (01:17:15):
Yes, thank you, Brian. Yeah, it's it's uh, you know,
I know we normally get together. We'll talk about Greater's
Ice cream. We'll talk about, you know, some of the
bourbon raffles and things like that. This is just a
pure opportunity to give thanks effectively.

Speaker 7 (01:17:31):
You know.

Speaker 10 (01:17:32):
It started out as I think everybody knows about Giving Tuesday,
and certainly you know about a Black Friday, small business Saturday,
Cyber Monday, and then we get to giving Tuesday, and
which is after.

Speaker 1 (01:17:47):
Something which as it comes after that after exactly right now,
some of my listeners have said, wait a minute, what
the hell is Giving Tuesday? Oh, I'm serious.

Speaker 10 (01:18:01):
Well, it's recognition that we focus on ourselves, or we
focus on our families, but sometimes we don't.

Speaker 3 (01:18:08):
Focus on those that maybe the.

Speaker 10 (01:18:10):
Less fortunate once and it's a charity.

Speaker 3 (01:18:14):
Day, is what it is.

Speaker 10 (01:18:15):
But even still, it just seems wrong to kind of
put that to the end. And we were kind of
puzzled by that whole concept, and frankly, it felt like
our kids and the fight against cancer was getting leftovers, if.

Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
You would, after Thanksgiving.

Speaker 10 (01:18:30):
And so what we did is we said that has
to change, and so we created a thing called Giving First,
and it puts it at the front of the chain
and effectively is an ask to help us be able
to beat cancer. And help us save our kids.

Speaker 1 (01:18:43):
Well, it sounds a wonderful idea moving it ahead of schedule.

Speaker 3 (01:18:47):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:18:47):
It's funny because I didn't connect the two in regarding
our upcoming now conversation this morning, But this morning, in
the five o'clock hour, I had just seen yet another
article and every year they come out, you know, for
the man who had gifts, for the man who has everything,
gifts of the woman who has everything. Was like, well,
if you have everything that you really need a gift.
You know, if sus squad and struggle in the world

(01:19:09):
to try to find something that's going to be in
some way, shape or form meaningful to someone who's got everything,
or at least you perceive and was having it, how
about a charitable gift in their name. I think that,
to me is the ideal kind of gift where someone
doesn't really need anything.

Speaker 10 (01:19:24):
Well, and not to mention what we're what we focus
on with cure starts nown was we focus on research,
we focus on giving life, We focus on giving time.
You know, these are kids just like my daughter, that
facing cancers that are some of the most difficult cancers
out there, cancers for which there is no cure, cancers
that are almost one terminal. But these are the cancers

(01:19:47):
that the experts believe if we can beat we can probably.

Speaker 2 (01:19:49):
Beat them all.

Speaker 3 (01:19:50):
And so this is what we focus on.

Speaker 10 (01:19:53):
But when you give this gift, what you're doing is
you're giving time, You're giving you the benefit of good
research and hopefully life. And you know, we're seeing some
great results out of it. And this is just us
asking to try to get some folks to get involved
with it and participate on it. And it's not just
local you'd started here, but as you pointed out, it's

(01:20:14):
in even international at this point.

Speaker 1 (01:20:15):
It really is. It's just mind blowing. And how many
years have you has it been since you started the
care Starts.

Speaker 10 (01:20:22):
Now, Well, we lost our daughter seventeen years ago, so
for about eighteen years, been in this fight for about
nine months prior is her battle, and we've helped out
thousands of families. We've been able to double the lifespan
of these kids. That's not much considering we're only talking
still about probably less than two years, but we've already

(01:20:46):
uncovered some very very big things that have changed how
we fight cancer for every type of cancer that's out there.

Speaker 1 (01:20:51):
Well, you know, I talked to the OHC folks all
the time, one because because I'm a patient, but I
have them on the radio program, and they're always talking
about these new car ties, cell therapies, the genetic level therapies.
Has that entered into the pediatric brain cancer, the geoblastoma types.

Speaker 10 (01:21:07):
They they that and even even more beyond it, where
that was something that you know, we're talking about and
still part of of of a bigger strategy. But we're
even talking about brand new types of radiation that's being
developed here at since a children's hospital that we're participating
on that actually is starting to be some effects that

(01:21:29):
are similar to what we see with CARTI and some
of the other strategies. So you know, it's there's some
real cutting egg stuff here that just you won't find
anywhere else we are talking about. We just we just
had a grant. We affectionately called it our uh uh
b f G project, and certainly that.

Speaker 2 (01:21:50):
Means big fat grant.

Speaker 10 (01:21:53):
And what that focuses on is as it focuses on
the idea that we should change how we have effectively
develop some of these therapies and maybe wrap them in
different ways to create a continual effect that you know,
it's more sustaining and more moderate that maybe the body
will tolerate and change how we deal with every type

(01:22:14):
of chemotherapy and.

Speaker 2 (01:22:16):
Various types of treatments out there.

Speaker 10 (01:22:17):
So, I mean there's some real big things that you
get down in the weeds with it, but effectively Give
First is the name of the event, and that's today
we run. It's about four hours long, and we have
hundreds of families worldwide that participated it. And what we're
doing is is we're asking people to learn about their stories,
to learn about this fight, and to help us by

(01:22:39):
funding some very very good research. So we're going to
do storytelling. It's kind of a telethon, but more importantly,
it's stories of promise, of hope, and of great research
that we're going to hope to inspire people to get involved. Well.

Speaker 1 (01:22:53):
And the one thing that I think it's important to emphasize,
you're doing something that nobody else was ever doing because
this pediatric brain cancer is such an aggressive cancer and
does lead to death in a rather short period of time.
It's not something that regularly got any funding. You know,
people and breast cancer is important, it got a lot

(01:23:15):
of funding, but your survival ray. With breast cancers a
lot longer, getting longer every year, of course, but at
least there was time to do clinical trials and focus
on that. You know, with pediatric brain cancer, you know,
by the time you get some child into some sort
of treatment product, if there is any, you know that
their time is up. So it has never been the

(01:23:35):
focus of much funding. You've actually transformed that whole dynamic,
coupled with the idea that you're one of the only
organizations that I'm aware of in terms of cancer research
that has coordinated cancer researchers from around the globe to
share research and come up with something that maybe even
far transcends pediatric brain cancer. The home run cure.

Speaker 2 (01:23:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:23:58):
Well, and I'd like to break it down with folks
that I mean, we all have been touched by cancer.
I've been touched by other types of cancers within our family.
I mean, certainly Brian, you've also been touched by cancer too.
And at the end of the day, what it is
is we're normally presented with you can do this, you
continue participating chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, immunology, and you can have

(01:24:20):
odds of maybe you know, thirty percent forty percent fifty,
although we up to ninety percent. And if you're presented
with those options, certainly you take them because it gives
you some hope, It even gives you some odds with it.
But the type of cancers that we're dealing with are
cancers where they come to you and said, there's nothing
and you're going to die from this. And so what

(01:24:40):
happens is is these families, and sadly enough for our children,
sometimes are forced to try things that.

Speaker 1 (01:24:49):
Are totally new.

Speaker 2 (01:24:50):
So we're actually inventing a new way.

Speaker 1 (01:24:52):
To cure cancer.

Speaker 10 (01:24:53):
Rather than surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunology. We have to
create something brand new to really push the signs along
rather than tweaking our way to treatments. And that's what
cure starts now. He is, it's the hope of a
home run cure. It's the belief that we have to
really revolutionize how we focus on cancer. If we're going

(01:25:14):
to cure it, we're going to get better at treating
it every other way. But this, this is how we
actually cure it for good. And the results are already here.
You know, we would talk about hope eighteen years ago.
We would talk about it even up to fifteen years ago.
Now for the first time, we actually have some brand
new things that no one has ever done, and it's

(01:25:36):
it's strategies that are being used in every cancer out there,
and they're being used worldwide.

Speaker 1 (01:25:42):
And it's all thanks to folks giving to the cure
starts now tens of millions of dollars toward research over
the years, and we can continue that. Your goal for
today is eight hundred thousand dollars globally.

Speaker 10 (01:25:53):
Hundred thousand here to find another BFG project and we
want to be able to cure cancer. And folks can
see it by simply going to give dash first dot org.
Let's give dash first dot org. You can watch it,
you can hear the stories from five to eight. We
hope that you donate to it and participate in it

(01:26:13):
and help us fund some some really good, great research.
And now you're going to learn about families that are
here in the in the United States and Canada and Australia,
even Japan. We just opened up a Japanese chapter this
past week. And what we're trying to do is we're
trying to unify a world to be able to finally
beat cancer.

Speaker 1 (01:26:33):
Because we've talked about it enough.

Speaker 10 (01:26:35):
Now it's the time to actually care it.

Speaker 2 (01:26:37):
And be done with it.

Speaker 1 (01:26:37):
Well, and you've already created some inspiration for folks out
there that previously, as you pointed out, had nothing to
look forward to or nothing to hope for. So you've
already almost at two hundred thousand dollars. I'm looking at
this page right now again. Give dash first dot org.
Just Derekkers put the link on my blog page fifty
five KRC dot com. I mentioned it last Friday. It's
up there again today, Today's today. Check it out, and

(01:26:59):
please you know, five bucks, ten bucks, you got one
thousand dollars, maybe a company out there once the done, eight, ten, twenty,
they'll take whatever you can throw their way and it
will be put to the best possible use. Keith, God
bless you.

Speaker 10 (01:27:11):
Not to mention, we actually even have people who are
matching it, so we actually have a situation. If somebody
donates five dollars, it's going to be the effect of
fifteen dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:27:23):
Oh so three times match, Yeah, three lots.

Speaker 3 (01:27:26):
It's kind of cool and we want to use up
all of it.

Speaker 1 (01:27:29):
That's awesome, and God bless those folks out there, they're
doing that, and God bless you and everyone involved in
the cure starts now. I wish it never had to
have started, but Keith you have done a wonderful job,
you and Brooke and now people have inspiration and hope
where none existed. And thanks to my listeners for in
advance for helping out today give dash first dot or
go to fifty five kresy dot com. I can't remember that, Keith,

(01:27:52):
looking forward to some positive results on the fundraiser today.

Speaker 2 (01:27:57):

what it's all about. I always say the bottom line
of foreign exchange is your bottom line. Because you get
your car fixed to your satisfaction by an ASC certified
Master technician, they'll have data access to your manufacturer technical

(01:28:20):
little bit technical information. Does it matter where your car
came from, if it's traditional foreign manufactured car, even if
it's made in Kentucky, whether it's Japanese or Asian. In tradition,
it is gonna be fixed at foreign exchange with a
full warranty on parts and service for less money, less money,
less money. I love saving money across the board. It's
helped me out through my entire life. You don't want

(01:28:43):

Love having you on the show.

Speaker 3 (01:29:51):
Oh, thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (01:29:53):
Brian. You know, the Lake and Riley case in Georgia
that will be back for the world to see is
one of the reasons President Trump won the election. And
if you remember, Georgia went to Biden by about twelve

(01:30:13):
thousand votes four years ago. But when the Lake and
Riley case broke that somebody who illegally came into this
country made it to Georgia, hunted a college student. Are
looking for a female college student to rape, and came

(01:30:35):
upon Lake and Riley taking a jog, her normal jog,
and he brutally murdered her. It sent a message to
all Americans. It didn't matter whether you were black or white,
or Latino or Asian. It was about your family, your daughters.
And that could have been me and my situation. And

(01:30:58):
people in Georgia, some of them suburban white women, were
thinking most likely the southern border, so far away from me.
This has nothing to do with me, and it has
something to do with all of us that we have
these types of people in our country who are praying
on Americans like this, like what we're listening to. And

(01:31:20):
even though Lake and Riley and no one should forget
her name, she fought for her life and her devices
that she had as a runner, because I was a
long distance runner, that she had really showed her entire
struggle in that fight for eighteen minutes when her heart
ultimately stopped. Every parent in the United States of America

(01:31:45):
could see themselves in that situation and never wanted it
to happen to our babies. And so this election was
everything about in Georgia, the Lake and Riley case, and
it was one of the reasons President Trump wore in
that state.

Speaker 1 (01:32:01):
Well, he certainly, I mean, obviously, we have a stark
contrast and immigration policy between the Trump administration and the
Biden administration, And lots of people are sort of out
loud asking the question, what is with the Biden administration
and its refusal to secure the border. Many think people
are there, you know, population replacement. Oh, we need more

(01:32:24):
workers to do the jobs Americans are not doing. Come
up with their own reason. But open borders means many countries,
and we all know this has happened. It's been well documented,
literally emptied their prisons. This is not the first time
it's happened under Biden's watch. It's happened to the prior
administrations too. You know, the Cubans could overwhelm, empty the prisons,
send them to Florida. It's you're going to get the

(01:32:46):
worst of the worst, especially if a government is helping
facilitate the transfer of those evil people from their country
into the United States.

Speaker 2 (01:32:56):
And the scary thing, Brian Thomas, is that we know
that there are still millions of people like Lake and
Riley's killer still roaming our country, our states, our city,
our blocks. And it's a very serious issue. And it's
been very frustrating to listen to the governor of California

(01:33:21):
who is positioning himself like he does he is not
a part of the United States of America, and that
there is some fight where he has to ignore the
laws of this country. And so whether it's New York
or whether it's California, I'm suggesting to every American, this
is our business no matter your political persuasion. It doesn't

(01:33:44):
matter whether you're a Democrat or Republican or an independent.
Can't we just agree that having people in our country
illegally who are murderers and rapists and thieves that came
from the prisons that you're talking about, that they should
be removed from our country and sit back. Can't we

(01:34:04):
just agree with that basic point in honor and attribute
to the life of Lake and Riley Well.

Speaker 1 (01:34:13):
I think that's why Donald Trump not only won the
electoral College, but the popular vote for the first time
in however many years decades by five million votes. Yes,
I think the vast majority of people agree with everything
you're saying, Christopher Smithman, and the immigration problem and the
one that Biden created for one of the reasons that
Joe Biden's team Kamala Harris did not get elected and

(01:34:34):
they brought back Donald Trump. Evil Orange Man. Will continue
with Christopher smith Aman in one more discussion after I
break for a pause for Susette Loew's camp. You love
Susette Loe's camp, and I know you will because she
is just such a sweet person and for Mortgages, the
only one you want to talk to. She's got more
experience than probably anybody in the business with more than

(01:34:55):
thirty five years, like probably thirty six now. But she's
the sweet as she can be, very wonderful at customer service,
knows everything there is and will help you quickly. That's right,
thanks to my daughter now engaged, I get to throw
that in there again. I'm so happy. First she got
engaged over the weekend, so she and Eric are now engaged,

(01:35:15):
me married. But she helped them get their house. They
are so happy in it. It's just the beautiful thing
to behold. And just a couple of days of working
with Suzette secured financing for those young people, and I
thought it was great. She took my advice. My daughter
even listens to me, and I recommend you did too,
because she's licensed in all fifty states being with Cross
Country Mortgage including Puerto Rico, no junk fees, no application fees,

(01:35:35):
great rates at a low cost. So regardless of why
you need help with mortgage to buy a house, or
maybe refinance yourself into some equity, or whatever the case
may be, she's the one to call five one three,

Happy Monday always made happier because we had Christopher Smithman,
former Vice Manor of the City of Cincinnati for the
smither Vents. Would I like to call it Christopher good
having you on the show? What else is on your mind?

Speaker 2 (01:37:09):
Well, brother, I was listening to your show like I
do every morning from five to nine am in the morning,
and I heard your guest talking about being touched by
cancer so many families. I happened to be come by
a fundraiser yesterday for a young lady by the name
of Elise Vndermeyer, and she has Hopskin's lymphomia foma stage

(01:37:34):
four in her early thirties, two young children, and the
community at Jim and Jack's on the River here on
the west side of town really came together just extended
love and support for her and her children, and her
husband and her family. And so I was just listening
riveting your last guest talking about how cancer is impacting

(01:37:59):
all of us and how we have to continue to
raise money in order to turn back and get better care,
better research for those who are suffering. So it was
a touching and emotional interview that I was listening to
early and I want to thank you for it.

Speaker 1 (01:38:14):
Oh and I think Keith eeschrich because he and his
wife they provide the inspiration. I mean, can you imagine
losing your daughter at such a tender young age and then,
rather than just letting it impact you for the rest
of your life, you decide, you know what, We're going
to do something about this. We're going to do the
hard work. We're going to start an organization and we're
going to figure out a way to prevent this from

(01:38:36):
happening to other families. And wildly successful. Again, they've been
at this for eighteen years. They've raised tens of millions
of dollars, and they've also had demonstrable success. As it
was like, it only takes a couple of people get
an idea going provide the foundation for others to assist you.

(01:38:57):
There's so many people out there that want to help.
They just don't know how to start, They don't want
to start, they don't have the wherewithal, but they got
a check book or they got some extra time. You
give them the ability to help and they will come.

Speaker 2 (01:39:11):
You know what I'm saying, absolutely absolutely, and so I
just want to lift up again a lease Vandermeyer and
her entire family. You're gonna make it. You're gonna beat this,
and we send our prayers out. I want to just
pivot into WHOOPI Goldberg as I conclude.

Speaker 3 (01:39:33):
You know, I used to be a very big fan of.

Speaker 1 (01:39:37):

Speaker 1 (01:42:08):
Chuck Ingrad Month fifty five krs. The talk station seven
fifty five k seed E talks station Happy Monday talking
with Christopher Smith and the Smith event. Had to shut
that conversation down because he was getting ready to dive
into Woopy Goldberg. Of course, On the View not exactly

(01:42:29):
a favorite television program of mind a lot of batcrap insanity,
if I may be so bold, but I read a
few articles about Woopy stepping in it, and I wanted
to give you some extra time to address this one.
Christopher Smithman, go ahead, well you.

Speaker 2 (01:42:43):
Know, will you know, Brian, I'm a small business owner.
There are a lot of small business owners out there,
and for Whoopy Goldberg to first pick on that small
business in the time that we're in, meaning we're in
tough economic times, it was absolutely outrageous, and they clearly

(01:43:04):
no one was slighting her. The owner of the business
of the bakery came out and said, listen, we were
having problems, you know, with our boiler. This had nothing
to do with Wooby Goldberg. It had nothing to do
with her politics, It had nothing to do with her race,
it had nothing to do with her gender. We were
just a business that was struggling, and when she made

(01:43:24):
the order, we couldn't meet it, and so for her.

Speaker 1 (01:43:30):
But she made the order a couple weeks in advance,
and at that time they were trying to manage her
expectations because their boilers were down and they didn't know
if they'd be able to fill it in time, and
they didn't want to disappoint her by saying, well, you know,
we couldn't get the situation fixed, we can't make good
on it. So they were managing an expectation. They were
doing what every good business does.

Speaker 10 (01:43:51):
And they would be She would be crazy to think,
no matter what her political persuasion was, her having those
treats live on TV helps them, doesn't hurt them, right,
So she gets on the she gets on the National
TV and just starts blasting that one hundred and forty
six year old business. But by the way, if boomerang

(01:44:14):
not only on her, if boomerang not only on their
on their show The View, but it enhanced the profile
of a bakery that you and I would not have
even known about if we didn't live on the East,
on the East Coast. And so the problem with all
of this victimization, meaning this is an example of someone
who just bathes in being a victim. They walk around

(01:44:36):
every day thinking somebody is out to get me. And
so no one was out to get Woopy Goldberg. This
was a business that was having a problem, and she
decided she was going to go on National TV and
attempt to destroy them, to smash them like a fly
using her profile to come down hard, and it just

(01:44:58):
blew up in her face.

Speaker 3 (01:44:59):
All of those.

Speaker 2 (01:45:00):
Wonderful uh desserts that were sitting out there just exploded
upon her. And people are calling from all over the
United States of America saying, listen, I'm in Alabama, I'm
in Texas. I want to get whatever you have. Oh,
we can't ship it to you. Hey, I'm making a donation.
Give it to somebody else over the holidays. My point
to you is that this is what was wrong with

(01:45:22):
the media from the beginning, meaning they've always been getting
it wrong. They sat back and called the called ice
through their vice presidential candidate, the KKK. How do you
think it made the Lake and Riley community feel? They
talk about Trump being hitler, they've called the most recent
appointments white supremacists, and now Whoopi Goldberg says they're after

(01:45:46):
me because of my political views. As I try to
buy some dessert, I'm saying, shame on this. On the
on the on the mainstream media, they still have it
wrong and they still have not learned their lessons from
the last two years.

Speaker 1 (01:46:02):
Do you think they will? I guess because you know,
I've seen some reports like for example, the Los Angeles Times,
which I guess refused to endorse the candidate, and the
left within all blew up and like, oh my god,
this is terrible. I quit you needed to endorse Kamala Harris,
and the owner said, no, We're gonna start trying to
take a more fair and balance approach to news these days,

(01:46:24):
because clearly the election reflected that in spite of the
drum beat over the past seven years, eight years, however long,
they've been beating the crap out of Donald Trump, which
has been day one since he threw his hat in
the ring to become president. They have been wailing on
that guy. Obviously it had well, it had an impact.
Perhaps in twenty twenty some people can test the outcome

(01:46:46):
of the election. I'm not one, just let it go.
But look how badly Trump beat Kamala Harris and the
Democrats across the board in this election in spite of
the constant drumbeat and kinda in spite of the crucifixag
crucifixion of Donald Trump at a daily basis hitler, fascist,
xenophobe hubbub, he kicked the living hell out of him

(01:47:08):
and won the popular boat by like five million people.
They've really been kicked back on their heels. So to
the Whoopie Goldberg's of the world and the New York
Times of the world, and to the other press out
there in the mainstream media on television, do you think
they're going to realize the eirr of their ways, that
we the American people, are not as dumb as they

(01:47:28):
take us to be, or are they going to stick
to their current script.

Speaker 2 (01:47:33):
I think they're going to stick to their current script,
Brian Thomas. But I also want to share with you
is what you saw happen at the UFC fight at
Madison Square Gardens in New York where President elect Trump
walks into that stadium with twenty thousand people and it
looks like he's about to get in the octagon himself.

(01:47:55):
You would think he was walking in and he was
about to take off his shirt and fight himself. My
point is that's the disconnect from the media, the mainstream media.
They don't understand that people are hurting out here and
they are tired of being demonized because they say things
like listen, I support the LGBTQ plus community, but I

(01:48:16):
don't want a dude in the swimming pool with my daughter.
That doesn't make people ridiculous who live in Prebo County
in our state are someone who lives in the suburbs
of California. People are tired of all of the identity politics,
and we want to get together and solve the problems
in America, the border, inflation, right housing issues. And they

(01:48:42):
got tired of watching people go, guess what, We're going
to put you up in a hotel. You came here illegally,
but we don't have any money for people in North
Carolina outside of seven hundred and fifty dollars. We were
going through a hurricane and the White House said our
solution for you at the beginning was seven hundred and
fifty dollars. My point to you is if anybody did

(01:49:04):
not see you at the UFC walk in by by
Trump and watch the mainstream media today who won't even
cover the Lake and Riley of cover. They're not even
covering what's happening in that courtroom, with that, with that
American family whose daughter was murdered by somebody who shouldn't
have been here, who was released in New York and

(01:49:27):
came and created hell upon a Georgia resident. I'm saying
to you, to everybody here, we should be demanding that MSNBC,
that CNN, that ABC, that NBC, that all of them
should be showing the Lake and Riley a court case,
just like they did when they when they were showing

(01:49:48):
other high profile court cases around the world. I'm just
saying to you, Brian, I'm tired of it.

Speaker 3 (01:49:54):
Man. That could have been my daughter.

Speaker 2 (01:49:56):
That could have been my baby. Man, that could have
been your daughter. Congrass she's getting married. That could have
been any of our families. That's what this election was about.
My brother and I say, hey, look Woopi Goldberg, goodbye,
We're tired of your craziness. And let me end by saying,
in love to a least Vandermeyer, a fourth stage Hoskins

(01:50:20):
with FOMA patient, we support you and your family and
your two children and your husband, because that's what this
country is about. It's about coming together, no matter your race,
no matter your gender, no matter where you live, and
just support people. And that's where I stopped through at
Jim and Jack's and said, hey, I experienced this. My

(01:50:42):
wide died of breast cancer, and even though she wasn't
a survivor, we're gonna make you a survivor. We're gonna
make you, Brian Thomas, a survivor. We're gonna make anybody
listening today who's laying in their bed saying I don't
have hope.

Speaker 3 (01:50:55):
We're gonna give them hope.

Speaker 2 (01:50:56):
Brian Thomas, thank you so much for allowing me to
come on your show.

Speaker 1 (01:50:59):
Brother, Always a pleasure. I appreciate the opportunity to hear
from you, and I appreciate that passion in your voice,
especially on a topic like cancer and of course illegal
immigration and the tragedy that's that that that illustrates right there, Christopher.

I'm a very happy Monday to you, so starting them
with my cough, and I've been apologizing all morning for that.
There's really nothing I can do about it. Nature's healing
properties aren't working with me. But then again, if you've
had this SRV, you probably know the same thing. It
could be weeks and I'm hoping it's not. Let's see

(01:54:23):
if Top of the Air news is gonna hear from
Money Mondy's Brian James, inflation tariffs, how social Security recipients
are apparently upset about their cost of living adjustments, and
how much is Thanksgiving gonna cost you this year? Tomorrow?
I am very much. I always look forward to Tuesdays
because of the inside scoop with Bright Barton News. But
given the developments going on between Ukraine and Russia, and
just Russia independent of the war with Ukraine, I see

(01:54:47):
they shut off the gas to Austria. They have limited
their exports of enriched uranium to the United States, which
think about that concept. We have to rely on the

(01:55:08):
Russians for enriched uranium. Apparently Russia if had no details
or timeline off for its uranium export restrictions. The announcement
was on Friday. Russian continues apparently leveraging energy as a
geopolitical tool and then pointing out to Austria. Austria actually

(01:55:29):
won a court battle, which is why they didn't pay
the Russians for the current supply of natural gas. They
were awarded like two hundred and fifty million dollars or something.
So rather than you know, I guess, try to go
after Russia to get that money, they just said, well, well,
what does not pay you for what's coming in now?
Until we reached the amount of the settlement or of
the legal resolution, they just shut them off. But that

(01:55:53):
we have to rely on Russia for US enriched uranium.
It's just it's mind boggling. This on the cusp of
what appears to be an opening to the whole concept
of nuclear plants being opened more readily in the United
States of America. It's an interesting quirk to that reality,
isn't it just in time? So supporting the Russian and

(01:56:17):
the build up of their military and apparently the Russians.
Russians ongoing war against Ukraine, doing so with American dollars,
at least up until recently when they suspended the enrich
uranium production. Crazy, impossible to understand world in which we live.
Let's try to understand money matters. After the top of
the our news money money with Brian James coming right up.

(01:56:39):
Ever changing world. There's one constance you can depend on.

at fifty five KRCD talk station. Very happy Monday too.
It is that time of day and time of week
every Monday at this time. Brian James all with financials.
Brian James, help us out with money matters. We're going
to talk a little money Monday. Welcome back, Brian. I
hope you had a nice weekend.

Speaker 9 (01:57:16):
Good morning, and welcome to Red's Hot Stovely right, it's
time to change our focus to that.

Speaker 1 (01:57:21):
I guess, I guess I watched a lot of football.
I said I stially didn't stay out for the Bengals game.
Thank god it didn't bother with that. But it's real
exciting football. But I have to keep pointing out for
listeners who are just now tuning in. I now have
and engaged a daughter. They got engaged over the weekend,
So Eric and Lauren are going to be wet and

(01:57:42):
I'm as excited as I can. We are all excited
about it. So really great news from the Thomas family
this this Monday. So just had you and her and everybody, well,
thank you man. He's a good kid and they seem
to be a great team, which is really inspirational to everybody.
All Right, inflation tariffs. We know Donald Trump's president elect,

(01:58:02):
and he's been talking tariffs for a long time. I
read the Wall Street Journal every single day of my life,
and you get some Some are saying terrible ideas. Some
are saying maybe not a bad idea. Got to be
delicate about it. There's some upsides, there's some downsides. It
seems like opinions are like sphincter's. Everybody's got one, but

(01:58:24):
inflation and tariff's number one on the topic list for you,
Brian James, what's your take on all this? We don't
even really know quite where the tariffs are going to
be imposed yet, do we Brian Hell's bells? Can you

(01:58:44):
try to get him back there? Joe don't know how
to get him back. I don't know how the system operates.
Looks like Joe's cursing. I can't hear what's coming out
of his mouth. It's not shocking at all. Regard anyway.
President elect Donald Trump has promised manufacturing renaissance. Checking out

(01:59:09):
the USA Today reporting on this when he gets back,
pledging terraces to bolster companies and make products in the
United States, drive up prices for imported goods to make
America make products more appealing. And you can see how
this could have a negative repercussions because it's inexpensive to

(01:59:31):
manufacturer stuff in China, which is why everything went to China.
They don't have OSHA, they don't have EPA, they don't
have obligations for the well global warming problems. They have
inexpensive energy. They build coal plants every day while we
cut our throats and cut back on our abundant, inexpensive energy.
It doesn't make any damn set what Oh, Brian you back,

(01:59:53):
I'm here, you there, I can hear you. Now go ahead,
and I was just diving into the article that you
on this tariff issue. I'm not quite sure where we
are on this. What's your take on the concept of
tariffs and basically, how can can we terrify ourselves into
a competitive playing field, because I was just going on

(02:00:14):
over all the reasons all the manufacturing appears to have
moved to China over the years. Well, they don't have
minimum waves, they don't have OSHA, they don't have EPA,
they have abundant cheap energy, they have coal plants churning out,
belching out in carbon, and they don't seem to care
about it. The global warming. People don't seem to tear
about it when they do it, But if Western European
countries do it, then they care about it, and we

(02:00:34):
get spanked and ridiculed and are told to cut our
throats in the name of saving the globe. So can
you create a competitive environment through tariffs?

Speaker 9 (02:00:42):
Brian James, Well, it's tough to say that raising prices
and raising the costs of manufacturing things is actually going
to drive prices down.

Speaker 3 (02:00:52):
So that's another headline.

Speaker 9 (02:00:55):
So what's that stakes here? President like Donald Trump, of
course plans to put in some aggressive tariffs. This range
is from sixty percent to one hundred percent on stuff
coming out of China. Basically Matt saying something that costs
you ten bucks last year will could cost you twenty
bucks this year when it comes to tacking a tariff
onto it. And not only China is in the crosshairs,
it's also he's looking at twenty percent on imports from

(02:01:17):
other countries. So these are if you boil this down
to the most basic elements, putting tariffs on something raises
the price of creating it and shipping it out. So
manufacturers aren't going to generally stand around and simply take that.
They're going to pass the prices. On matter of fact,
we've heard directly from Stanley Black and Decker and AutoZone

(02:01:38):
and some other major manufacturers who have just said they're
going to be they're planning on passing these onto customers.
So whatever the outcome here is, it's hard to see
that this is not an inflationary type of environment. Maybe
over the longer haul, I think that the best possible
outcome over a very long period of time is that
this force is manufacturing to come back home and perhaps

(02:02:01):
creates more jobs and so on and so forth, But
we are not looking at here is a method to
produce prices overall. So this is not something that's going
to battle in place. And that's a whole different approach.

Speaker 1 (02:02:11):
Well, and I tend to agree with that. Logic and
reasons suggests that is the outcome. But even if the idea,
you know, hits something, okay, blocking dectors, all right, all right, right,
all right, right, these tariffs are killing us. Is causing
the price of the drill to go up double And well,
let's bring it back to the United States. Could you
sell a drill I'm just using that as a random example,

(02:02:34):
obviously for less money if it is manufactured here in
the United States. First off, you've got to have you
have the the operation, the manufacturing facility built, because we
don't have those anymore. You need to employ Americans that
probably pretty expensive, maybe even union level jobs. You've got
the problem with electricity being more and more expensive because

(02:02:55):
of the blank and green environment that we have shoved
down our throw so that the Chinese don't have to
deal with. Wouldn't we be better off with a drill
that costs you know, twenty percent more or one hundred
percent more coming from China still save more money than
if it was even manufactured here, because something suggests that
we can't compete even if you throw tariffs on there.

Speaker 9 (02:03:16):
Yeah, So, as I think about this, let's say these
tariffs come in and they cause a Chinese drill or
a Chinese manufacturer drill to cost more than a drill
you know that would be manufactured here. Something tells me
that the consumer is still going to be paying more
no matter what, because in that case, an American based
manufacturer can simply write raise their own prices to fill

(02:03:38):
up that gap, but still leave it just shy of
the cost of the Chinese drill, which gives them the
ability to waive the American flag and say, look, it's
cheaper to buy here, when at the end of the day,
the consumer is still paying more either way. Because remember,
at the at the end of the day of the
decision makers at any publicly traded company, their duties lie
to their shareholders, not their customers. Right, so if the

(02:03:59):
market permits them to charge more, they will do so.

Speaker 1 (02:04:03):
So are we left to just I guess I want
to say allowed China to walk all over is because
of their low regulatory price and their inexpensive labor and
cheap electricity. If we can't compete with that, leaving tariffs
off the table, then we're never going to be able
to bring manufacturing back to the United States.

Speaker 3 (02:04:23):
It's a tough tell.

Speaker 9 (02:04:24):
Remember, there already are tariffs in place. We've had tariffs
in place since the first Trump administration, So that happened
in July of twenty eighteen. We impose tariffs on about
thirty four billion dollars worth of imports, and then in
August another sixteen billion dollars worth. Some of those tariffs
were kept in place by the Biden administration. So at
the end of the day, when we look at the
equation that has created the inflationary environment we're in now,

(02:04:47):
we can't ignore the fact that we've already tried this before.
Tariffs do not battle inflation. They cause inflation. That's a
that's a different fight. We're trying to bring work and
jobs back on shore. But this is something that's going
to make inflation worse before it coul better well.

Speaker 1 (02:05:01):
And the reason that manufacturing these products around the world
now as opposed to hear domestically is i mean, let's
face it, companies are not weed to any particular administration
or any particular country. They're not American companies. They're global companies.
They're going to go where they can maximize their profit.
Going back to the obligation they have to shareholders. If
they can make it in China, make more money, maximize profit,

(02:05:22):
they're going to make it there. They're not beholden to
the United States of America in a patriotic way, like
if you go back and look at the old Soviet
Union versus the United States days when there was actually
patriotism in the air, that seems to have dissipated.

Speaker 9 (02:05:37):
Yeah, I think people won't buy it anymore, and it's
not necessary to try to sell it. I think people
at the end of the day are no longer conclude
that companies are really fighting for the benefit of their
home country. That's just not the case. They fight for
the benefit of profit margin. And if that means they
need to pull up the ten stakes and move to
some other country based on a more favorable tax environment

(02:05:59):
or some kind of inflationary environment or natural resources being
president or whatever, that's what they're gonna do.

Speaker 3 (02:06:05):
So.

Speaker 9 (02:06:05):
One of the companies headlined in here is called Vermont Flannel.
Vermont Flannel came out and said they will be passing
prices onto their customers. I've not heard of Vermont flannel,
but I'm gonna go out on a Limbrian and guess
that they don't make flannel in Vermont anymore.

Speaker 1 (02:06:21):
Probably not all right, let's pause. Apparently Social Security recipients
are not real thrilled about the cost of a living
increase that they get. Maybe not quite enough in this
inflationary environment. More with Money Monday's Brian James after a
word for your safety, Chimneycare, Fireplace and Stove strongly encourage you,
as I have been lately, Please run out today and

(02:06:44):
get yourself a carbon monoxide detector if you don't have one.
Truly a lifesaver. And that's something that I don't even
know if the Chimneycare fireplaces stuff cells, but they would
certainly recommend it. Beyond that, they can check your chimneys
and fireplaces for safety. They did it at my house.
I had to take out the old insert that the
builder put in because it was a fire hazard. That's

(02:07:04):
what an inspection can reveal. I'm glad now I can
safely and confidently and comfortably turn my fireplace on any
time I want, and it's awesome. The insert that I
got is all remote control, total first world. You know,
flame adjustments and lighting adjustments and the venting adjustments and
how much heat you bring into the room, all fully adjustable.
One of the options you got with the Chimneycare Fireplaces stove.

(02:07:26):
They have a multitude of fireplace inserts. They even have
self feeding wood waste pellet stove inserts for your typical
fireplace free standing stoves. They have those as well. Everything
related to fireplaces and chimneys. They do tuck pointing, they
do inspections, courses. Starts with an inspection video camera inspection
of your flu They can check for whether it needs

(02:07:46):

They fix it all, including replacing the linings. Of course
they do that a plus. The better business Fear have

You should have eight twenty if if you have have
krc DE talk station. Brian Thomas talking with Brian James
for Money Monday. Care about this all the time, the
cost of living adjustment for Social Security. I guess every
year and some years it's okay, and some years better

(02:08:31):
than others. And I don't know what what indicator they
base the cost of living on, Brian, because sometimes the
inflation indicators take out things like food and gasoline, which
impact literally every American. But this year, apparently seniors are
not real thrilled with the two and a half percent increase,

(02:08:51):
averaging about fifty bucks a month for the normal average recipient,
not quite enough to cover the grocery bill. Brian, Right,
So this year.

Speaker 9 (02:09:00):
Everybody's looking at a two and a half percent raise
in SOB security. Now I remember this, this is for
people who are already receiving so security. If you haven't
turned on your Social Securities FIGOT yet, you're continuing to
get an eight percent increase, which different story, but that's
a little bit part of the problem. We set that
in stone eight percent increases sixty seventy years ago. But

(02:09:20):
in any case, now for those current recipients two and
a half percent, and a little bit of history. I
think we might have gotten maybe a little bit addicted
to the most recent increases. So twenty twenty four was
three point two percent, and then the whopper was twenty
twenty three, where we hit eight point seven percent of
pay increases for the character recipients. Yeah, so I think
we're kind of back to quote unquote and whatever normal is.

(02:09:42):
We're back to what we usually see. Maybe I'll praise
it that way. And I think you're right that because
I hear my own clients and talking about their parents
in the inflation rates on the increases in so security
don't quite cover without the increases and actual prices are.
It's simply based on off of CPI, and there have
been movements Brian to talk about moving that to something

(02:10:05):
called the CPIE, which is the Consumer Price Index for
the Elderly, which, as you might expect, it focuses more
on the categories that are significant for seniors, and that's healthcare, housing,
and prescription drugs, things like that. Now, unfortunately this has
been kicked around in Congress a few times, and it
was last discussed though February of twenty twenty three as

(02:10:26):
part of the Fair Coola Act, which the House Ways
and Means brought it on the floor, talked about it
and said, hey, let's send it to a committee, and
the committee promptly did nothing with it. We haven't discussed
it since, so I think one of the hard cells
of this is Social Security, as you and I discussed
every now and then, is not budgeted for. It's something out.

Speaker 3 (02:10:43):
There that we are obligated. It has to be paid.

Speaker 9 (02:10:46):
However, we do not account for it. All the budgetary
problems we have going on right now, social Security is
not in there, and I think there's a lot of
hesitance to shine a bright light on that by making
social Security a bigger program than it is. Since we
don't have a plan for it.

Speaker 1 (02:10:59):
We do not have a place for it, and the
numbers on paper look terrible. If you look about funding
and the amount of dollars coming in versus the amount
of dollars rolling out, it's well, it's design has currently
created to fail. But let me ask you one thing.
You mentioned healthcare, housing, and drugs as three very important

(02:11:19):
components of seniors' expenses, and who can argue with that?
I circled housing because if you came up with a
better plan for the cost of living adjustments within Social
Security and ignoring the budgetary implications, how can you deal
with a housing market that has blown up in terms
of the value of real estate, which has had an

(02:11:40):
obviously corollary impact on real estate taxes? And I hear
this all the time. Seniors cannot handle a thirty percent
increase in the price of real estate taxes. Social Security
can't do anything about that because that's all local. It's
all very different state to state. I mean, that's an impossibility,
right there, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (02:12:01):
Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 9 (02:12:02):
There's a big conflict there because Social Security, of course,
is based off of federal numbers, some kind of average
that affects the entire country. While necessarily some of the
expenses that get cited by seniors as being out of
whack are in places they can't control. So the answer
can't simply be you may have to consider moving to
some other area that's more that's a little friendlier fear situation.

(02:12:24):
Housing prices incidentally up about a half a percent in
month over month in October twenty four, four point nine
percent year over year, so we're still seeing these issues
despite you know what we have heard about, you know,
the economy being having a lot of issues and maybe
that will slow things down, but it just simply hasn't happened.
Even mortgage rates being higher than they've been in twenty

(02:12:46):
twenty five years have has not done anything to slow
it down. So, yeah, this does hit seniors pretty quickly. Again, yes,
you're referring to property taxes, but that's the same idea.
As long as there's demand, there will be higher property taxes.
Localities will have to consider do we want to continue
to have send that money toward the you know, the
most of them send those dollars toward the education programs

(02:13:07):
they have in place, but perhaps in the future there'll
have to be some rethinking of.

Speaker 1 (02:13:10):
That well, and considering what you do for a living.
That's financial planning, Brian James. I mean this illustrates even
further younger people, people who are still in working age,
maximizing their savings toward retirement so they can better manage
these fluctuations.

Speaker 9 (02:13:27):
Yeah, I'm sure you've had this conversation with with your
your newly engaged daughter there.

Speaker 3 (02:13:32):
I know you have because you've told me.

Speaker 9 (02:13:33):
But then they yeah, they're at that point of life
where they're just getting started. Anybody else in that situation
staves safe stay from moment one. You know, if you
even if you save more percentage wise in your twenties
and you have to back off when the kids show
up and things get more expensive, then that is absolutely
a far better option than waiting until you're forty to
get started. For these coming generations, I would say, including

(02:13:55):
my own, I'm gen x are, our retirement success is
going to rely a lot, a lot more on our
own savings than that of our predecessors.

Speaker 1 (02:14:03):
Well, continue one more with Brian James. How much is
Thanksgiving going to cost us this year? Should a little
focus on just one meal? Money? Monday's Brian James. It's
eight twenty five right now, fifty five KCD talk station.
Here's an important thing, an important way to save money.
I'll tell you what. You can take all the money,
you say, by getting your imaging done at affordable imaging
services and putting it in your retirement account. I mean, seriously,

(02:14:27):
if you're going to spend three thousand dollars to get
an MRI or a CT scan at a hospital and
you end up saving that amount, ask my friend Jeff
thirty one hundred dollars savings by getting an MRI or
a CT scan rather at affordable imaging services. That was
real money was gonna come out of his real pocket.
That's like found money. So take it and put it
away or do whatever you want with it. The point

(02:14:48):
being you can save that kind of money at affordable
imaging services. The overhead is really really low, not going
to exaggerate it's low overhead. But they have the same
kind of equipment the hospitals have. They've been doing this
for forty years. So get your MRI, CT scan, Echo cardiogram,
ultra sound, lung screening, and cardiac scoring, every one of
which will include the board certified radiologists report along with

(02:15:09):
the low price, no no extra. So MRI at a
hospital thirty five hundred dollars maybe four grand, you get
it with a contrast that affordable it's six forty five,
no contrast needed, get it for four hundred and ninety
five bucks. CT without a contrast four fifty CT with
a contrast six hundred at a hospital five grand, yeah

(02:15:33):
or more. Echo cardigram is only four hundred and ninety
five bucks, And again all of them come with the
board certified radiologists. I had this from one of the
CT scans I got done most recently. You know, my
cancer doctor said, here's the here's the prescription. Go to
the imaging department at the local hospital. I said, I'm
going to Affordable Imaging Services. I do spots for them.
It's like fine. You know what she said about the
image nothing, It was great, it worked fine, she was

(02:15:54):
able to diagnose me or look at the report and everything, well,
didn't go the way I want it, but massive savings.
You got a choice when it comes to your medical care.
Go elsewhere. Go to Affordable Imaging Services five one three, seven,

Speaker 1 (02:17:36):
Hey thirty one fifty five kr CD talk station wrapping
up another Money Money with Brian James, all or Financials,
Brian James and maybe Brian I'm confused. Got this article
from lendingtree dot com by the twenty twenty four Cost
of Thanksgiving report, and everything's gone up. I understand that,
but I guess I don't know. People's perceptions of Thanksgiving
must differ from one place to another, because I'm looking

(02:17:58):
at some really outrageous enses for Thanksgiving, and we'll talk
about that, but I think over I mean, Thanksgiving was
always my favorite holiday. You get gifts at Christmas, but
Thanksgiving in our family, it was always the big holiday
where all the relatives got together. You know, we have
relatives in Lexington and far and wide, and they'd all

(02:18:19):
descend upon someone's house and it would rotate, but everyone
sort of brought something, so not one person was left
with the entire expense of having to cook, prepare and
spread out the bar and the turkey and the dressing
and everything else that goes along with it. It's like Joan,
you're responsible for the turkey and dressing, and Jerry irresponsible
for this, and Brian you're responsible for this. It was

(02:18:40):
never a massive expenditure, even if you had twenty five
thirty people to serve, because it was broken up among
various family members. We all love the pot luck nature
of it, and you know, the camaraderie, the friendship, the
celebratory environment. It's just there was nothing. There was no
downside about it. Or am I just waxing poetic about
time's gone past?

Speaker 2 (02:19:01):
Well?

Speaker 9 (02:19:01):
I think some of that is because we have a
tendency nowadays to look at data because it's available to us.
So when you add up the costs of all those
individual dishes, maybe somebody's only outlaying thirty forty fifty bucks.
Even that's kind of high for one person, one dish.
But when you add it all up this year, what
we're looking at is four hundred and thirty one dollars

(02:19:22):
for food, drinks, de core, all that kind of stuff.
And that's a nineteen percent increase over last year.

Speaker 3 (02:19:28):
But I think you're right.

Speaker 9 (02:19:29):
You break that down across ten people, that's thirty four
bucks a person, really not that big of a deal
and actually still cheaper than eating out for the night. Yeah,
but thirty six percent say that this is actually going
to be a financial stream and fourteen percent regret their
decision to volunteer to host. So I think these people
maybe don't have the same kind of family situation that

(02:19:50):
you and I do, where the load kind of gets
shared a little bit.

Speaker 1 (02:19:53):
Well, I understand the decision maybe regretting the host because
at the end of the day, everyone leaves and then
you got domestic clean up. But that's different. You know,
Let's see, you're one day a year. It's not that
much of a hassle. But I don't know what what's
really gone up the most across the board here. Is
it the turkey or something else, or is just literally everything.

(02:20:13):
The one thing I circled that I figured is probably
the largest financial strain on any family hosting Thanksgiving is
the open bar, because you know, liquor is expensive, and
a lot of people have some really high tastes in liquor,
and expectations may be high about what you serve and
is available at the bar. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (02:20:33):
Yeah, and that's definitely a part of it. You know,
we've been talking about the cost of moving goods across
the country, so that's certainly you know, there's a cost
to get those turkeys from the farms to the to
the grocery shelves there. But let's not forget our old
favorite thing to blame when we talk about inflation, which
is eggs. Eggs are up sixty two percent over the
last twelve months. That comes from bird flu and demand
and things like that. Pumpkin pie filling is up about

(02:20:56):
eighty percent. You know, these are the kind of things
that we I know, I didn't. I didn't see that either,
but that's something we're certainly not going to have. This
is the day we make the excuse that it's okay
to eat that stuff. So eighty percent more, yes, sign
me up anyway. But yeah, there's the little All these
little things, of course add up, and it has everything
to do with just the overall cost of goods sold
and cost of moving and manufacturing things, and of course

(02:21:19):
the ever present need to expand profit margin when we
can get away with it simply because people think things
are more expensive. So let's sneak some profit margin in
there too.

Speaker 3 (02:21:27):
Why not?

Speaker 1 (02:21:29):
Well, I guess one of the nice things you can
do is volunteer ahead of time. Regardless of the situation
that goes on any giving year in your Thanksgiving life,
is at least volunteer to bring something when you come
to offset whoever's having the celebration at their house, whether
they ask for it or not. Bring the good bottle
of bourbon, or bring the wine, or you know, bring
a side dish, or at least offer ahead of time,

(02:21:51):
because I think every little bit counts, and you know,
it's it's also nice to have. Honestly, I get a
great reward when someone enjoys something that I've made, or
when I see the looks on people's faces with what
my wife has baked. She's a wonderful baker, cookies and
pies and everything. I mean, it gives you a tremendous
amount of personal fulfillment, which honestly, I don't think you

(02:22:13):
can put a price tag on.

Speaker 3 (02:22:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (02:22:15):
I can remember recently my family we did a Thanksgiving
dinner around everybody was busy and things were crazy, and
we simply went and got a gigantic bucket of fishes chili,
and that was the focal point of the kind of
apropos this season. May not get able to do a
b a chance to do that here in the future,
but that just made it easier and cheaper for everybody
here in the short run.

Speaker 1 (02:22:36):
That reminds me of the Christmas story and go to
the Chinese restaurant after the Buffins dogs ate the turkey. Right,
it's the family component. It's being together that is the
important thing, perhaps more so than exactly what you're eating
or trying to bring off some Norman Rockwellian image of
Thanksgiving that never quite does manifest itself. Anyhow, I still

(02:22:57):
love Thanksgiving, even though there are going to be a
lot smaller this year than any years compass. I don't
mind a couple extra bucks, and I love the idea
getting together and that outweighs money across the board. Brian James,
