Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Five o five at the five k r C the
talk station.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Happy Monday, say.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Vation, I'm the dude, man, I'm not.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
I am Brian Thomas, host to the fifty five HEREC
Morning Show, and in there s Jafstrekord, executive producer responsible
for the line up, which includes, of course on Monday morning,
former Vice Mayor of the city since Sinny Christopher Smith
and joining the program at seven thirty two event his
spleen in what we call the Smith Vent, and of
course Monday Monday with Brian James, stock saying made a
comeback last week? Why is August volatile? Question mark, I'll

(00:51):
answer that question. Got a couple of articles we've done
to dive on into with Brian James, Every average consumer,
This is sad Reality six nine in credit card debt
and get ready for nasty layoffs topic number three with
Brian James kind of depressing news there. Your phone calls
are always welcome here on the vitybove Kearsey Morning Show.

(01:13):
I appreciate hearing from you if there's something you want
to talk about. Got a situation unfolding in Israel with
the Defense Minister claiming that Aron's ready to make a
large scale attack any day now. We'ren delivering hundreds of
ballistic missiles to Russia. These are the shorter range and
satellite guided ballistic missiles, which apparently are very difficult to
shoot down. Frightening stuff. And we've got a bunch of

(01:36):
rockets landing in Israel from Lebanon, and the big concern
is that Israel is going to be surrounded by the
Huthis and the Hamas and the Iranians and whatever other
entities out there are looking forward to attacking Israel, perhaps simultaneously,
which is truly truly frightening. Anyhow, this one area of
conflict going on in the world. We got the Ukrainians

(01:58):
now in Russia reeling a bit of bit from that.
Not quite sure how they're going to hold that region,
but some viewing it as a well a shot of
inspiration to the Ukrainian citizen rooms since they've now entered Russia,
expanding the field of conflict there. Keep your popcorn out
on that one. Again, not exactly uplifting information, considering the

(02:21):
massive loss of life that's going on in that area,
and also the four of the fact that it has
forced all of these previously disparate interested countries that all
hate us into each other's arms, which is not a
great thing in terms of global politics. As we face
this November election, wondering and wondering and wondering, why are

(02:44):
we going to find out who Kamala Harris is and
what she's going to be running on by way of platform,
because thus far she has no updates to her campaign
site and no information about what exactly it is she
is going to run on, no policies, continues to have
no policies on our website. By being in the president
or race for well more than three weeks in office

(03:05):
about four years, which has drawn some criticisms. You know, oh,
it's kind of funny, some funny things going on in
the world to Kamala Harris. But sadly, in spite of
the fact that we don't know what she's running on,
there's two new polls out which show that she has surged,

(03:27):
and everybody's speculating is this an exhalation of relief among
Democrats that Joe Biden's no longer the nominee or is
it really truly support for Kamala Harris. And I find
it difficult that it would fall into the latter category,
since we don't know about really anything that she is
planning for the country by way of policies in the future.
Is she going to be continuing to bide administration's policies?

(03:49):
Are you at or off now then you are four
years ago? Kind of stuff. We don't know, no idea.
But in spite of that, what do we got here.
One of the first major surveys released since Kamala Harris
took over Joe Biden in that coup, a'tah now leading
Donald Trump by four points in three of the crucial
battleground states. Is the New York Times Siena College poll

(04:11):
one of two that came out that's kind of positive
for Kamala Harris, would asked if the twenty twenty four
election were held today, half fifty percent of respondents in Wisconsin, Michigan,
and Pennsylvania said Harris, forty six went with Trump. The
director of Santa College Research Institute, a guy named Donald Levy, said,

(04:34):
staved it's a new race across the russ Belt background
of battleground states now that former President Donald Trump is
facing Harris instead of Joe Biden. Harris had opened up
a lead of four points in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania
with strong support from women, younger voters, blacks, and those
with college education. However, Trump continues to be seen by

(04:54):
voters better on the economy and immigration, still better than Harris,
but smaller margins than Trump had over Biden. So again,
is this more exuberance over Biden not being on the
ticket or actual support for Harris and her policies. I
find again it difficult to be the latter. Harris leads

(05:15):
according to voters on abortion and protecting our democracy by
wide margins. This guy said, Okay, abortion is not a
federal issue anymore. And the idea that democracy is under threat.
I think you can look to the Democrats for that,
because they're more about controlling every element of your life
than the Republicans. It's a typical party division.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Got it.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Crack up out of this one. On that note, Vice
President Kamala Harris in Michigan, trying to appeal to the
auto workers, She told United Auto Workers inside the United
Auto Workers Local nine hundred hall in Wayne, Michigan, are
you ready? We just want fairness, We want dignity for

(05:56):
all people. We want to recognize the pride all people
have to ready, freedom and liberty to make choices, especially
those that are about heart and home, and not have
their government telling them what to do. Really, the party

(06:21):
of the administrative state and regulation and micromanagement of literally
every aspect of her life she wants. She's running on
the this is what she claims to be running on.
I'm sorry, I have a huge, huge, huge measure of
skepticism on that one. Moving over to the Financial Times,
in the University of Michigan Rash School of Business poll,

(06:42):
the first monthly poll to show Democratic presidential candidate leading
Trump on the economy. This one's kind of a bizarre pole.
All of them are considering. Trump still polls that better
than Harris on the economy, and generally speaking, forty two
percent of voters that they trusted Harris more to handle
the to me compared with forty one point difference there

(07:03):
than Trump. Trump's numbers unchanged from this same polling from
last month, Harris got a seven percent improvement compared to
Biden's numbers. Again, Harris versus Biden. Biden was shot. Everybody
knew it, so just simply changing the names has resulted
in an increase on this one. Accord to Eric Gordon,

(07:24):
professor at the University did the poll. The effect that
voters were more positive on Harris than on Biden says
as much about how badly Biden was doing as it
does about how well Harris is doing Americans In this poll,
still citing inflation is the biggest concern. That sure survey
showed only nineteen percent of voters believe they are better
off today than they were when Biden took office. Again,

(07:46):
has has Does Harris have different policies? No idea, presumably not.
This new survey shows Harris maybe able to distance herself
from Biden on economy issues. Of those surveyed, sixty percent
said she should either are you ready she should, which

(08:06):
she hasn't done yet, either break completely from Biden's economic
policies or make major changes to his platform. Silence is
deafinitly from the Harris camp on that just one in
four registered voters rated economic conditions is either excellent or good.
Forty two percent said they would be much or somewhat

(08:29):
better off if Trump won another four years in White House.
Thirty three percent said they would be much or somewhat
better off under a Harris presidency. So you go over
from her improved numbers regarding trust. They trust Harris one
percentage point more than Trump on the economy, and yet

(08:51):
when you look at economic conditions and whether or not
they'd be better off under Trump, and Harris he clabbers
her by almost ten percent. How do you reconcile those numbers?

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Gordon?

Speaker 2 (09:04):
The polsters said the pole's good news for previously anxious Democrats,
but their worries aren't over yet, because voters still see
themselves off with Trump as president, better off rather, most
Otters think their interests first in grand policy questions second.
Exactly the fools, the one that's not looking out for
his or her own best interest, and apparently Donald Trump,
in their hearts and minds, puts them in a better

(09:25):
position than Harris might. Trump also polling better in this
one than Harris. On some specific economic issues, particularly trade,
forty three percent say voters trust Trump more to handle
economic relations with China, compared to thirty nine percent who
go with Harris on that one issue. So odd numbers strange.

(09:47):
And maybe she'll roll out policy positions that will allow
us to figure out, one way or another whether she's
going to continue with the Biden's words or Biden's policies
rather than come up with their own and here's where
she got it. One of the places she got herself
in trouble. Social media can be harsh a cruel mistress

(10:07):
social media. Kamala Harris ex account at a video of
her on Friday promising to bring down prices if she's
elected president. Here's her post, vice President Harris when I
am When I am president, it will be my day
one priority to fight to bring down prices. I will

(10:28):
take on the big corporations that engage in illegal price godging.
I will take on corporate landlords and unfairly raise rents
on working families, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, to
which the uproar was, you're elected your vice president of
freaking United States of America. You're already positioned of power
and influence. Why don't you do something now? Why do

(10:49):
we have to wait till after January when you get inaugurated?
Legitimate questions one observing a stuteley. If you haven't done
anything about it so far, you won't start.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
Now.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
What has she been doing for the last three and
a half years. Facts don't why, but apparently she does.
Another noted someone tell her she's in office. Now, why
hasn't she done any of this before? Now legitimate and
the other one where she fell into it the other
day being mocked online because she made rally goers present

(11:28):
photo IDs government issued photo IDs in order to gain
access to her rally.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
On Friday, her campaign sent on an email advising that
only confirmed RSVPs would be admitted to her rally. Email
on those RSVPs list must present a matching government issued
photo ID in order to be admitted to the menu.
Many observe that she is anti voter ID requirements, calling

(11:55):
them a racist in the past. This is sort of
a mirror image of what happened here locally when the left, Democrats, etc.
We're all complaining that voter ID was racist, and yet
the end of LACP requires you to show a government
issued photo ID in order to vote in the presidential election.
I did just that back when Christopher Smith and was
president of the local ENDAACP chapter and back when I

(12:16):
was a member. So there you go. How do you
reconcile that? Well, I guess you don't have to if
you hide in your basement and you organize a campaign
strategy that mirrors are that mirrors Joe Biden's twenty twenty
strategy of just simply hiding and not answering some of
the more difficult questions facing you. Let us see here

(12:39):

Speaker 1 (13:38):
As Biden drops out.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
They're making it sound like they believe Kamala Harris is
a great politician.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Klay Travis and Buck Sexton.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
No one really could possibly think that day at noon
on fifty five KRC the talk station, Hey, if you're
listening to me right now, twenty.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
One fifty five per ce DE talk station SAD News
to report this morning, I learned over the weekend the
passing of Elmer Hensler, founder of Queen City Sausage. An amazing,
amazing guy Elmer was. I loved Elmer for the I
just even fausted it online. The man spoke his mind.

(14:23):
You never ever ever had to wonder what was on
Elmer's mind, because he was quick to tell you exactly
what he was thinking, how he felt about it, and
in sometimes very savory and saucy language. But he was
just absolutely wonderful business man. He quit school eighth grade
to get in the meat business, and he had never
turned back. He acquired every one of the independent sausage

(14:46):
makers and meat packing companies over the years and ended
up buying out his competition. Got the the recipe for
the winner of the world to wait it and use
that for the hot dogs, just in his motto. And
this is something that I had so much more spec
for Elmer for. And I've been to that plant so
many times over the years when I was speaking for them,
and I missed doing that. But still a great product.

(15:08):
Still buy it in the Thomas household. Just decisions made
regarding advertising, and I can't fault anybody for whatever reason
they do that. But enjoyed the relationship all that last
soer and I enjoyed the friendship that I made with
all those folks down at Queen City Sausage. But never
cheapen the product.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
We meet.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Prices go up, of course, he might have to adjust
the price of the Queen City Sausage. But he insisted
on superior quality meet inside the sausages. And that was
one of the reasons why he survived after so many
people fell by the wayside, mushy, disgusting, gross, weird tasting
sausages out and hot dogs and things like that out
in the world, never ever, ever with Queen City Sausage.

(15:48):
So he just and the praise for Elmer Hensler and
the man he was all over social media father, husband,
my brother, a heart as big as the sky, described
US Sheriff Jim Neal supported many Cincinnati charities, never sought
the notoriety. He just wanted to help out of course. Uh, well,
I hear on the Morning show. Will miss Omar Hensler?

(16:09):
I know I'll miss him. Felt like he was a
dear friend and enjoyed his company when I had the
opportunity to spend time with them. So rest in peace
and prayers to the the folks at Queen City Sausage
as well as his family and uh and friends five three, seven,
four fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three.

(16:30):
Talk with Pound five fifty on eighteen and t phones
if you care too, love to hear from you. What
else is going on?

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Ben Carson had some interesting comments about Kamala Harris. He
was interviewed the other day bright Bart News Saturday interviewed
doctor Ben Carson. Had doctor Carson on the program many
times here and Uh, they're outspoken black conservative.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
Yes, they do exist.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
So obviously the campaign for Kamala and the Democrat Party
know that they're in bad shape because there was a
reason that Kamala got so a little support she was
running for president during the primary process. Yes, that is correct.
The reason she dropped out is because people found out
who she was. So the lesson that they've learned is,
let's not let people know who you are. No press conferences,

(17:15):
no sit down interviews, not even a softball sit down interview,
a one on one with pre prepared questions na A.
And nothing on her website either. This interview, I guess
over the weekend. It's has been twenty days and it's
longer now. No interview, no press conference. She wants to
stay hidden as much as she possibly can because, as
Trump said last night, she's not really capable of doing

(17:35):
an interview without having all the aids, the teleprompter, and
people will find out very very quickly what's going on.
So they're planning on trying to keep trying to push
and push extend things. He explained, Trump campaign has to
bring out the points about Kamla and about Waltz, about
what they believe, what they think, and what they've said.

(17:55):
Good point from Ben Carson quote, don't just necessarily tell
people what they said, show them what they said. I
think this'd be very powerful to get the point across.
You only need all those things when you're trying to
make something match. It's like when you tell lies, you've
got to try to remember what you said before so
you can make it match. You don't have to do

(18:17):
that when you're telling the truth. Yeah, Matt Boyle asked him,
so do you think the Harris and Walls campaign are
trying to pull a con of the American public basically
like they're trying to lie their way into the presidency.
Carson says, it's quite quite clear that's what they're trying
to do, and so they've done in the past. The
very fact that they tried to hide from the American people,

(18:40):
the condition of Biden tells you all you need to know.
Anybody who would do that is not someone who can
be trusted. And would you trust them in the future
of the country, with the future of your children and grandchildren,
all the people coming after. They've already demonstrated that lying
is their second nature to them. I don't think so close. Quote,

(19:02):

the American voters. Foreign exchange. Something that should sink into

the Railroad Money for property tax relief interesting proposition once
you get six hundred million dollars out of the one
point six billion dollars, so in a separate fund to
generate interest and pay property taxes for every single homeowner
or business owner in the entire city. So sounded strange
to me, but Tom's making a good play for it,

(21:22):
and they're out there gathering signatures I think affected today,
so you will have a say on that. It will
be a ballot initiative and maybe on the November ballot.
So check out the podcast their fifty five care se
dot com. It looks like out of state customers buy
a lot of our weed here in the state of Ohio.
Dispensaries say a large chunk of the recreational sales coming

(21:42):
from out of state. Estimates between forty and fifty percent
of all sales here in the state of Ohio to
out of state buyers went for sale first time ever
yet last Tuesday. Now it's reported and I'll give credit
to the enquirre on that one. Ohio don't track out
of state customers, but dispensaries are required to check state IDs.

(22:06):
So workers contacted by the SINSINNY inquire you know, anecdotal
evidence they say, while most customers do pail from Ohio,
residents from Kentucky and Indiana right behind Ohioans. According to
Jason Lettman, co founder of Brown County based one hundred
Percent Labs, He said some places thought it was about
fifty to fifty or at least forty percent of out

(22:26):
of state customers buying the legal weed here in the
state of Ohio. Details provided to the inquire by a
place called Nectar. Westwood Dispensary made about four hundred sales
last Tuesday alone. Of those Tuesday sales in Westwood, forty
percent of ours were from out of state. Most of
those were from Kentucky and Indiana. Hmm, shocking, probably no one.

(22:49):
So yeah, they expect that to continue. But weed here
in Ohio is more expensive than Michigan's. Separate report from
wcp oh tailor NEMO Thank You Flower here is about
five times more expensive in Ohio, and edibles are almost
double of what's available in Michigan, according to UC blue
Ash Economics professor Kashar Gimmer.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
Close enough anyway.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
According to David Gregg, chief marketing officer of Illicit and
From the Earth Dispensaries, claims that prices will remain elevated
for the next several months. But that's normal based upon
what has happened in other states. As they said, it's
like a blackout dates in terms of like going to
Disneyland on the fourth of July or going to a
cannabis dispensary on four to twenty. This whole first month
or two is going to be feel like four to

(23:35):
twenty and you're going to have all these just huge
rushes as people want to buy cannabis. So what typically
happens cannabis market makes a switch from strictly medical, it's
a recreational. So the demand huge demand, and it is
difficult to keep up with supply. Obviously, economics kick cake
kicks in and that's why prices are higher. But give

(23:57):
it some time, he said. Sometimes it happens three, four
or five months. Sometimes it happened at about a year.
But overall, the trends always go down. The price always
comes down as more suppliers come in. Prices go down
as supply kind of meets demand. So there you have it.
Expensive weed in Ohio not stopping purchases, though driver hospitalized

(24:18):
after a pickup truck crashed into a Butler County vitamin shop.
Fairfield Police sat talking about this one. They responded to
him Mother Earth on Pleasant Avenue about two thirty in

expected to be okay. Fortunately, the business was closed at
the time. Building inspector on the scene and a company

of the crash remain under investigation. One more here at

Joe Florida man killed during your dispute over a handicap
parking space and a disabled homeless thanks and a disabled
homeless men had been charging the slaying. Jonathan Arius gunned
down after he and his wife and friend drove it
into a Sarasota parking lot during a weekend getaway. Arius

(27:37):
of Orlando pulled his truck into one of two handicap
spots in the lot to unload fishing gear. Richard Minor,
sixty six, a disabled amputee, was living in his car
parked in the other handicap space. Minor questioned Arias about
parking in the parking space, asking if they were disabled. Apparently,
the situation escalated when both men exchanged words. According to

(28:00):
local reporting there, Arius's wife and friend left the pier.
Witnesses said Minor began calling after them. At some point,
Arius decided to leave. As he pulled out, Minor yelled
at him for driving in the wrong direction. Arius got
out of his truck, approached Miner's passenger side window, when
more words were exchanged, and Minor doused him with bare spray.

(28:22):
When Arius came around to the driver's side window, Minor
fired several shots at Arius, killing him. Do what the
hell Miner being held in Saracena County Jail on charges
of murder and aggravated his soul with a firearm.

Resident of a Scottish island have been told they have
to travel several miles to get their packages after Every's
sole home delivery driver resigned. Some customers have to make
a forty mile round trip from their homes to collection
points to get their packages. Break down in the Every
delivery service on sky Race and Rang say those are

(29:07):
different Scottish islands, parenthetically, leaving customers with no alternative but
to go get their own packages. Everyell hired a self
employed driver to take packages from companies such as Maitland,
Next Vented and Amazon, as well as others, to customers
homes on the islands. Now they're now being dropped off
at a central collection point post office. Residents only informed

(29:27):
about the change when they started to receive text metches
is asking them to pick up their packages when they
expected them to be delivered. They get thousands of parcels
every day, and when the post office in one area
was closed in the afternoon, many of them were rerouted
to the next nearest post office. A ferry journey away
for folks living on this island. Also reported the one

(29:50):
post office, more than six hundred parcels were still waiting
to be collected. All it's the value of one single employee.
Otherwise sparsely populated area, I guess, but sucks to be
you if you're living there is but I can conclude
from that one go to Philadelphia. Wear a helmet, please. Motorcyclist.
A crash involving a motorcycle and an ice cream truck

(30:13):
left a mandad on Saturday night, please, said. A motorcyclist
was thrown from his bike after colliding with an ice
cream truck at the intersection of H Street and East
Hunting Park Avenue at ten pm. Man pronounced dead at
the local hospital, identified as twenty two year old Ramon Santiago.
Ice cream truck was being driven by a seventeen year
old boy. According to authorities, no other injuries reported, no

(30:34):
charges announced. Crash under investigation. It's kind a question mark.
How it ended up in the stack is stupid. Other
than giving me an opportunity to mention that if you
have at least a ten dollars head, please place it
into at least a ten dollars helmet. Motorcyclists fun times.
Being on a bike is a great thing. Crazy people

(30:54):
out there, and there's also crazy motorcyclists out there, So
I use it as an opportunity to admonish my motorcycle
riding friends. Don't be that guy or gals the case maybe,
although I've never seen a gal riding a motorcycle on
a wheel stand going ninety plus miles an hour down
seventy one like I have on several occasions with guys
riding motorcycles. Yeah, you're the problem, as well as those

(31:16):
well automobile drivers out there who don't pay quite close
enough attention to what's going on around them. By forty

(32:59):
A person snatcher was sentenced to seven years imprisonment for
dragging a person described as a popular California bakery owner
and activist to her death while fleeing away in a
getaway car. Twenty year old Ishmael Jenkins Birch found out
on Friday that in the death of Jen Angel, who

(33:20):
was forty eight, he pleaded no contest of voluntary manslaughter
and second degree robbery court of the family and friends.
In a statement, the sentence was the best possible outcome
oft of the current legal system in this political climate.
We know that Jen would not want someone involved in
her death, whether complicit or not, to waste a waste
away in prison for decades, and we take some comfort

(33:41):
in knowing the Ishmael as a chance to repair some
of the harmoniest caused. Defense attorney and Bells told the
local news there, San Jose Mercury, that her client would
honor her this woman's memory during and after his imprisonment. Ishmael,
his family, and I are so pleased with the compassionate
humanity the Jen Angels community and friends showed toward ishe Mail.
We are so hopeful that the conversation about restorative justice

(34:04):
will continue within the Oakland community. This woman fatally wounded
February sixth last year in downtown Oakland when a thief
broke into a car while she was in it, grabbed
her purse, and then ran to a getaway vehicle. Angel
jumped out of a car ran after the thief, but
was knocked down in a struggle, snagged by the getaway

(34:24):
car door and dragged more than fifty feet before falling
into the street and hitting her head. Birch quickly identified
as a driver linked to a secondary robbery nearby that day.
Angel died three days later at the hospital after losing
all brain function of being takeoff life taken off life support.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Jeez, seven years.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
No Joe, this was Oakland, but it could have been
in Hamilton County. Well, that would have been his bond,
would have been our bond. This was after he played
had guilty to manslaughter. Authorities reportedly announced a criminal case
against a girl for allegedly shooting and killing her sixteen

(35:11):
year old boyfriend. The victim, David Anthony Vargas Acker, fatally
shot July thirtieth when he, the girl, and a friend
were playing with a gun Gordon, Orange County Sheriff's Office
in Florida. Family said a gofund me campaigned to raise
money for the funeral legal fees. He was only sixteen

(35:33):
and had so much more life ahead of him. He
was always full of joy, brought laughter, happiness, enlightened every
room he entered. David had brought the gun to the
home and the eleven hundred block of Easton Street. Deputies
reportedly said that ended in tragedy. In the early morning
of July thirty. He his girlfriend and the gun were
pointing it at each other and posing with it. Girlfriend

(35:54):
pointed it right at him and pulled the trigger. She's
now facing a kind of aggravated man slaughter of a child.
Authorities arrest their last Wednesday. He was the fourth of
six children.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Doing idiot things because they're idiots.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Planning on graduating early from high school and working alongside
his father as a contractor. Oh Chip says in an
instant Facebook message, per snatchers should wear helmets. No, the
victims of perse snatchers should wear helmets. The snatcher is
the one that got seven years. The woman whose brain

(36:32):
got smashed in during being after being drugged by the
car was the woman who should have had the helmet on,
So maybe we should all walk around wearing helmets. Twenty
four to seven, We got to Williamsburg, where a cafe
under siege on social media. The bathroom's wall and door
have dozens of signs warning customers not to poop in

(36:55):
the toilets at this cafe.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
Why are you doing that?

Speaker 2 (36:59):
No poop, No to everything except for tinkle and small
amounts of toilet paper. The pipes can't handle, it, reads
one of multiple gargantuan signs hanging in the Social House cafe.
An artist who works down the block was interviewed said
she had to rush to the store because she had
to make a major to purchase or a deposit in

(37:20):
the toilet, but she saw the signage and she left.
The variety of vocabulary all the way they came up
to say is don't poop in this toilet really hammered
it home for me, this woman told the Post. She
also posted pictures on x which went viral with as
a time of reporting a couple of days ago, over
six point three million views. One user observing a place

(37:43):
that sells coffee but you're not allowed to poop is diabolical?
What are the co owners of this place? The social House?
William Somerville said the idea that customers couldn't let nature
call in his cafes bathroom, well not true, in spite
of the twelve signs up there saying that they can't

(38:04):
do that. He claimed the messages in an effort to
deter people from flushing tampons or other machine made products
down the toilet's pipes. So the toilet repairs cost the
business more than ten thousand dollars last year alone. Apparently
the pipes have reached the end of their useful life.
So in spite of what it says, he says it's
for other reasons. And finally we go to Duncansville, Pennsylvania,

(38:27):
where at a Meadows Family Fun mini golf venue they
had to call animal officials to the scene. When a
mini golf course workers found out that while there was
a live animal in the claw machine, you know you
put money in the claw grabs the stuffed animal. Apparently,
well there was a live one in there. Pennsylvania Game
Commission showed what they found. It was a woodchuck aka

(38:51):
groundhog hiding in with the stuff prizes in the machine.
Court of the news reporting groundhogs live near rocky outcrops
from valley bottoms to alpinut or alpine tundra, but they
avoid dense forest, also described as surprisingly quick and good
tree climbers. Fin approaching the machine to investigate, not play

(39:12):
z sgw zufuto. That will be the officer from the
animal control units saw the stuffed animals move and the
groundhog then popped its head up amongst the prizes. Officials
called the vending machine company to unlock the machine so
they could safely remove the woodchuck and take him back
to his natural habitat unharmed. Now you mentioned Pucksatani Joe,

(39:35):
and that's actually the photograph they add included with the
article from like Getty images. They say, this is not
the groundhog that was found on the machine. This is
actually a photograph of Pucksatani Phil five fifty six fifty

Speaker 9 (41:03):
Kind of.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
Scary sounding topics.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
Now stocks did make a comeback, He'll answer the question
or try to why is August volatile in the stock market?
Sadly average consumer has twenty nine dollars in credit card debt.
And finally, third topic with Brian James, get ready for
nasty layoffs, which suggests I can pivot over to Harris's

(41:29):
speech to the United Auto Workers. I mentioned a quote
from her earlier up there, trying to get the and
there's a lot of them. Detroit based United Auto Workers
has approximately one million active and retired members, obviously carrying
a significant weight of influence. Do they or are they
represented adequately and properly by Sean Fame, the President of

(41:51):
the United Auto Workers, who is full on for Kamala
Harris and Tim Waltz. The so the folks that want
to continue the edicts and mandates to force you into
an electric vehicle. Electric vehicles which don't require as many
automobile manufacturers as an additional internal combustion engine. While the
internal combustion engine is the only thing that's making any

(42:14):
profits for any of the United Auto Workers. They're losing
literally millions of dollars on these vehicles, and yet they
continue to press them. The only reason they are even affordable,
by any stretching the imagination, or even desirable, is because
the government mandates edicts and of course incentives in the
form of tax credits for the manufacturers and of course

(42:35):
the credit for you for buying one. She's out there championing,
in her words, the collective and the right to bargain
for wages and working conditions. Great, you have to have
a going entity and concern for you to effectively bargain
for more wages. Coming out of COVID, all the United
Auto Workers got a huge increase when they renegotiated their
contracts because they're still making internal combustion engines. But oh,

(42:57):
maybe not so much. And I love this quote from Harris.
I mean, this is the exact opposite of what she
stands for. We want dignity for all people. We want
to recognize the pride all people have to freedom and
liberty and to make choices, especially those that are about
the heart and home and do not have their government
telling them what to do. Who's under fire more than

(43:19):
the automobile industry in terms of having the government tell
them what to do. How do we force people into
electric vehicles? Let's make the cafe standards impossible for the
internal combustion engine to meet. Meanwhile, demand for the internal
combustion engine remains significant, and the demand for the EV
market is well, maybe increasing only slightly, but not enough
to make them profitable for the automobile industry. Pivoting over

(43:42):
to Solantis, which is laying off two four hundred and
fifty production workers in Michigan because it's replacing the classic
RAM internal combustion engine truck with evs. How's that working
out for the unions? Congratulations, you got to raise, You're fired.
According to the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal,

(44:02):
Silantis is showing what the real green energy transition looks like. Friday,
the automaker announced plans layoff these twy four hundred and
fifty workers in Michigan while ramping up their electric vehicle production.
As a consolation, the laid off workers will receive a
generous parting gift in the form of some benefits and
some compensation. They point out carmakers are struggling to sell

(44:23):
these higher priced cars as consumers pull back after three
years of inflation. Thank you Bidenomics. What's Harris's going to
do to bring down prices? I just throw that out
there because she says she's going to and people are
making fun of her because she is in elected office
right now and has the ability to drive whatever policy
proposals she plans on implementing if elected president, but apparently

(44:44):
won't do it now. I'll leave it for you to
decide whether there's anything that Kamala Harris as president or
currently vice president can do to lower prices. Rich labor
agreement that stilanis Ford and GM struck last autumn with
the on at autowork workers is raising costs. That's the
benefits they got as a consequence of collective bargaining, which

(45:05):
she's in favor of. But the companies need profits from
gas powered trucks to subsidize the money losing EV line
of cars. Hence Stallan has scrambled to slash costs. Last month,
the company announced BUYOUTCES salary workers in the United States
this past Friday, laying off those twenty four hundred plus
production workers in Warren, Michigan, where it produces the classic

(45:28):
Ram fifteen hundred pickup. As it rolls out the new
electric model, workers can send a thank you card to
the UAW President Sean Fain, And there I go. That's
the point the journal makes that I made before. Are
the workers, those one million active and retired workers really
benefiting from the current administration or would they benefit from

(45:49):
harris administration. Harris is not backing off EV mandates or
cafe standards forcing people into electric vehicles. It's all part
of the grand design. As my listeners know. It's noted here.
Car companies scrap the old models when they come out
with new ones. Makes sense. I've been doing that for years.
But making electric vehicles requires fewer workers than gas powered cars,

(46:11):
SOA is taking advantage of those manufacturing efficiencies. The problem
and tragedy for the workers is that the decisions are
being driven by government mandates rather than market choices, going
back to not having government tell them what to do.
For the American families that Harris seggested to the United
Auto Workers this past Friday, EPA's new emissions rules will

(46:35):
effectively require companies to produce one to two electric trucks
for every gas powered truck as soon as calendar year
twenty twenty seven and a four to one ratio by
twenty thirty two. Look at California alone, those mandates are
even more aggressive, banning the sale of new gas powered
cars by twenty thirty five. You will have no choice
that your government taking away right and telling you what

(46:58):
to do, Kamala Harris. Fifteen states have adopted California's ev quotas.
Minnesota included Tim Wallas, governor there, imposed those over strong
opposition from his own state's auto dealers. And of course,
I think by extension, the workers who make the automobiles,

(47:19):
notwithstanding what the President Sean Fain says on their behalf.
Kamala Harris also support a banning new gas powered cars
nationwide by twenty thirty five. When she ran for president
in twenty nineteen, that didn't go over real well for
her candidacy.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
Now did it? Question?

Speaker 2 (47:34):
Does she still want to get rid of those cars
by twenty thirty five? Will anyone ask? Well, maybe someone
will ask, but she's going to have to give them
the opportunity. Look at the UAW speech this past Friday
where she's talking about freedom for the American family and
not having their government tell people what to do. She,
of course didn't take any questions. Neither did Tim Walls,

(47:58):
So we're going to be left in the dark again,
and continuing this theme that we're observing, Kamala Harris adopting
Joe Biden's hid in the basement strategy of twenty twenty. Democrats,
for their part, claim this green energy transition is going
to create millions of jobs, but the evidence so far
suggests otherwise. The reality is that government will end up

(48:19):
supporting workers who lose their jobs and can't find other work,
which is why the Democrats are pushing to expand the
welfare state. Maybe that's the journal's conclusion, but what other
conclusion can you read? They're invested, the Democrats are in
getting every man, woman and child hooked up to something
from the federal government. This is the reason you continue
to vote for it. Once you get something from the

(48:40):
federal government, no one ever wants it to be taken away.
Even though you were able to manage your life up
until the moment in time government made that money or
service available to you. Gee, what did we all do
before all these programs and plans came into place. It's
going to be doing just quite. I just find on
our own making our own decisions around our own kitchen

(49:00):
tables or dinners, as the case may be. Stillanis is
offering laidoff workers fifty two weeks of unemployment assistance and
fifty two weeks of what they call transition assistance, plus
two years of health coverage on top of the state
unemployment benefits that they'll get already. The journal notes that, yes,

(49:23):
that is generous, and maybe they're capable of doing it.
I don't know how, But what are the employers who
aren't able to afford that type of benefit? Got to know,
there's multiple multiples of tiers of suppliers and manufacturers in
the automobile supply chain, many of which many businesses won't

(49:44):
be needed in an electric vehicle world. I'm sure there's
some company out there that makes alternators. They aren't going
to be needed. So I don't know how this works
within the United Autoworkers Union. And maybe people are just
being quiet. Maybe you're a a bridge autoworker Union guy
realizes orgal realizes the electric vehicles are a pathway to

(50:06):
their unemployment, and they well should. This is something that's
so open and obvious. I don't know anybody could come
to a contrary to conclusion. But the president of the
UAW thinks this is all rosy and great. Who's in

to you. Feel free to call as I suggest, and
I go to the phones right now. I five want
three seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and
eighty two three talk see what Ken's got this morning. Ken,
thanks for calling the program this morning. Happy Monday to you, Oh.

Speaker 11 (51:44):
Happy Monday to you. Hey, I just wanted to give
a call because I was listening to you and I
just wanted to share with you that they're not serious
about this whole green New deal. And the reason why
I say that is I used to work at a
power plum that sold electricity on the grid. However, if

(52:06):
they were serious about us transitioning all of these cars,
that the first thing they would do is they would
update and just absolutely boost the electrical grid right now.
If every car, if every car went on electricity starting today,

(52:28):
the grid could not handle it. You know, it's sort
of like you could California, sort of like California where
they were making all these mandates and during the summer
they had all these blackouts because you know, they couldn't
handle it. They couldn't handle what they're already presently needing.
So this is really just a scam in order to

(52:49):
get everybody to relinquish their rights, their controls, their way
of living. And unfortunately, they want everyone to go into
nice apartments. Nobody should have their own home with land.
Everybody should be using public transit to get around, and
we should have these all little two bedroom apartment type

(53:12):
things for you and your family, which you're only supposed
to have one kid. It's really just control. Because if
I remember a number of years back when I was working,
you know, at the power plant, I thought, if they're
serious about this, they have to seriously, seriously upgrade the

(53:32):
electrical grid, and they're not. They're not.

Speaker 1 (53:36):
Well to the extend tells me, well, well what's your
take on this.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
So, to the extent, anything in the electrical grid is
being upgraded it's just the focus on the power source,
which is you know, solar and wind. So they're trying
to put more green energy onto the grid, but the
grid itself is what is taxed. It can't manage. I mean,
you have to add all this additional power and then
move over. What about all the artificial intelligence farms that

(54:01):
they're building, these giant, massive facilities that consume just in
cities worth of electricity. We can't meet that demand either,
So you're right, I mean, more transmission lines, higher quality lines.
Obviously you're gonna need electric vehicle charging stations. We've already
allocated what eight billion dollars to install charging stations over
the back in twenty twenty one, and they've only done

(54:22):
what eight of them or.

Speaker 3 (54:22):
Something like that.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
I mean they yeah, it's ready fire aim. So maybe right,
more about control, because if you end up with an
e vehicle that you can't charge, you're stuck. You can't leave.
Maybe they're trying to prevent more people from fleeing states
like Minnesota, New York, California, Illinois from the perils of
Democratic administrations which have ruined people's lives when they try

(54:44):
to leave and go to places like Texas, and Florida.
If you can't drive there get there, you're stuck, aren't you?

Speaker 3 (54:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (54:51):
And can you afford a house? It's an excellent point.
Is anybody reminded of Agenda twenty one on us? It's
a it has been mentioned a long time, but that's basically,
if I recall correctly, the plan stuff people in small
living spaces, concentrated population centers, relying solely and exclusively on

(55:14):
public transportation that is purely local. I mean, if you
think you're going to take a train at a dodge
in this new future, look at what California is going through.
They've have all the subsidies and all the ability in
the world to do whatever the hell they want in
terms of building green Agenda items, and billions have been

(55:35):
spent on a high speed rail system that hasn't even
got off the ground. Again, Yeah, they're the victims of
their own you know, regulations and rules and lawsuits. There's
a lot of environmentals out there, you know, throwing lawsuit
roadblocks in the way of having that one built. And
it's you know, it's a joke. You think there's going
to be a return on that investment. Are they going

(55:56):
to end up making money on it or is it
just a big giant hole in which taxpayer dollars are
going to be thrown into support to support it even
if it gets built, or when ultimately it gets built,
if it ever gets built. So, yeah, you're stuck. It
takes me five minutes to refill my tank of gas.

(56:17):
I can go three hundred and fifty miles on one
tank of gas, and if I have to fill it up,
it only takes me a few minutes and I'm on

Speaker 2 (58:06):
I'm doing as well as can be expected. I always say,
you know, everybody's got problems in the world. Yeah, mind
campail in comparisons, so other than the global problems over
which I have little no control, everything's great.

Speaker 12 (58:20):
Well, no, I agree with that. So first I had
a comment about the election. I think Trump's biggest problem
he's going to have right now is not the fact
that people are going to vote for him. It's that,
now that Biden's not in it, Democrats that actually hate
him so much but we're going to vote will vote
for her just because they're low information.

Speaker 2 (58:38):
Yes, and the built in hatred against Trump that the
media is instilled in literally everybody over the past six
plus year.

Speaker 3 (58:43):
Yeah, definitely definitely.

Speaker 12 (58:46):
And then the other thing was, this is a question
and I just wanted to hear your response on it.
You as a lawyer. I've got my own thoughts on this.
But did you hear about the UK Police commissioner I
guess it was Friday of last week going into the
weekend threat main American citizens over social media posts that
he will work to extradite in the UK.

Speaker 2 (59:06):
Yeah, metropol and Police Commissioners, Sir Mark Rowley, he will
extradite US citizens and bring them to London for our
online postings. And we have the right to free speech
that they don't enjoy in the UK, clearly, but as
what I post here in the United States maybe making
its way into the London area generally subjecting me to extradition. God,

(59:29):
that's a frightening prospect, isn't it. And you can really
get arrested for almost anything you say, as long as
it can be perceived by some idiot in the world
as inciting violence or otherwise racist or whatever other list
of damaging posts that they can come up with over there.
And I suppose that'll be just a question of whose
ox is being gored?

Speaker 12 (59:47):
Right, Well, my initial thought on it was you know,
if I'm in London and you know, they have geopen
thing and make a track where your location is and
all that that. If I'm in England as an American
and I post something, okay, sure I don't agree with it,
but their laws are their laws. If I'm here in
the United States and it just so happens to bounce

(01:00:07):
across the pond, yeah, good luck, because we fought that
two hundred and fifty years ago and we sent them back.

Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
Excellent, point man, excellent.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
I'd say bring it, show right well. And you know,
if yeah, bring it, let us see what happens.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
Go ahead and post something rude and obnoxious that would
be protected here in the United States under our First Amendment,
and see if any law enforcement official in London endeavors
to extradite you there. If our United States government does
not work to oppose anything remotely close to that scenario
and work hard to protect the Americans right to the
First Amendment, then you know the fixes in and we

(01:00:47):
are screwed. That's my take, John, Thank you so much, CJ.
Thanks for holding me here. Welcome to the program.

Speaker 9 (01:00:56):
You know, I was not going to call about that,
but kind of fits into what I was going to say,
you could see I don't know if if Trump is
what's going on with Trump right now? It feels like
the last three to four weeks has been very, very
very soft in regards to who Trump is. Trump six
years ago would have been all over that story. That

(01:01:20):
would have been the top of every single pressing that
Trump would have put something out almost challenging that story.

Speaker 13 (01:01:28):
And you just don't see that this time.

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
And the reason why I called.

Speaker 9 (01:01:32):
Is I was not a big jd jd Vance guy
for VP.

Speaker 11 (01:01:37):
It could be perfectly.

Speaker 13 (01:01:38):
Honest, I thought that.

Speaker 9 (01:01:41):
Somebody else would have been a much better candidate, such
as Glen Younkin or somebody else.

Speaker 11 (01:01:46):
But after watching jd.

Speaker 9 (01:01:48):
Vance yesterday, let me tell you something.

Speaker 11 (01:01:51):
You know, you hit the target.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
When there were no.

Speaker 9 (01:01:54):
Harrods x posts running around talking showing this clip of
jd Vance for that clip of jd Vance, those interviews
that he did yesterday were top notch and it was
a really you know the the Democrats like to use
the term masterclass, that was truly a masterclass and how

(01:02:15):
to deal with the media, how to dodge a question
without dodging it and returning back right to the focus
of who the true competition is here, and that is
the crazy beliefs that Harrison walt own.

Speaker 11 (01:02:29):
And he did that time and time.

Speaker 9 (01:02:32):
Again yesterday, and he was very his intelligence really shown.
And he should be on CNN, MSNBC, CBS.

Speaker 13 (01:02:42):
ABC, NBC all the time because.

Speaker 9 (01:02:46):
He does a really really good job of handling media
that is not favorable to.

Speaker 3 (01:02:53):
Him, that was.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
At least stays on message. He gets the policy points
out every single time. And that's one of the things
that I will observe that Trump of late has not
been doing. He's back to name calling. I mean what's
reported anyway, and it's you know, you're not going to
score any points with anybody by just calling her an
idiot or whatever. You need to point out that what
we know about her, and that's her record, it's demonstrably

(01:03:18):
as far left as possible. It's what's ruining the economy.
It is as far away from what she uttered in
front of the United Autoworkers about freedom of choice and
making decisions without government involvement as a person can possibly be.
So yeah, stay on issues, everybody I've ever I've read
so many articles about this over the past since Kamala

(01:03:38):
Harris has come out as the anointed person the coup. A'tah,
everyone say Trump, you need to stay on message, Ben
Carson's talking yesterday. Don't just necessarily tell people what they say,
show them what they've said. He's not think it'd be
very powerful to get the point across. In other words,
you've got documents, you have exhibit, you have a record,
get it out there in front of people. Quit calling names,
quit making fun of her or mentioning her race or

(01:04:00):
all the stuff that doesn't really matter the American voter,
and point out why she's joys going to be miserable
and terrible for our country. In the direction that goes
in more power for government, more control, more people hooked
up to the umbilical court of government, fewer choices when
it comes to things like what kind of stove you by,
what kind of car you drive, all of the above everything.

(01:04:20):
Her record is solid and she can't walk away from it,
as much as she seems to be trying to. Notice
her website doesn't have any policy platforms. Notice Kamala Harris
doesn't do interview. Notice she'll speak to the United Auto
Workers and then turn her back around the mainstream media
or anybody else out there that once ask her a
simple question, she leaves, how long can this last? How
long can it last? How long with American people put

(01:04:43):
up with it?

Speaker 3 (01:04:44):
It's a good question.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
I know she's enjoying this honeymoon because Biden isn't around anymore.
Sigh of relief from the Democrats. So you immediately embrace
someone who is going to adopt or has adopted even
further left wing policies than Joe Biden and real quicker.
I know over and I Corey, hang on, I will
get your call next. This is what Biden said the
other day. They're focusing on, you know, Nancy Pelosi, and

(01:05:06):
Biden admits pressure from Democrats contributed to his decision to
drop out.

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
But I found this more telling.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
When I ran the first time, I thought of myself
as being a transition president. They he talked about. I
can't even say ow old I am. It's hard for
me to get that out of my mouth. But things
got moving so quickly it didn't happen. And the combination
was that I thought it was critical issue for me

(01:05:33):
maintaining this democracy, whatever the hell that's supposed to mean.
But things got moving so quickly it didn't happen. Is
that him speaking to the former Biden, the moderator, the
centrist guy, the guy that could reach across the aisle
and negotiate deals. That certainly isn't the Joe Biden we
got now, isn't He was overwhelmed with leftist agenda and
maybe that was what was moving so quickly. I couldn't

(01:05:56):
be who I wanted to be. My puppet masters basically
pushed out an agenda that was farther the left than
I ever thought could happen. But here we are, and
look what it did to me and my electability, not
only my cognitive decline, but also maybe the policies that
put us in this sorry position. Six point thirty eight

Speaker 3 (01:07:29):
Welcome to the show.

Speaker 11 (01:07:30):
My friend, Hey, good morning, Brian.

Speaker 3 (01:07:33):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (01:07:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:07:33):
One when the other caller said there about the stuff
going on UK for the free speech, do you think
for a minute that Merrick Darlin would love to extradite
a conservative to England for quote hate speech. I think
you'd do that in a heartbeat.

Speaker 2 (01:07:46):
I You see, That's probably where I would come down
to what I anticipate will happen versus what should happen,
which is the full the full Biden administration or Trump
administration or any administration. We have a first Amendment, right,
they sward uphold the Constitution, They swirl uphold on behalf
of all of those whom they represent, meaning they shouldn't

(01:08:07):
cooperate with UK or anything in terms of extradition for speech.

Speaker 7 (01:08:12):
Right.

Speaker 14 (01:08:13):
Well, back to the reason I called earlier. Caller was
talking about the really not serious about the Green New
Deal and the energy and all that. Well they come
out I work for It has something to do with
that Honda plant battery plant being built in Jeffersonville, Ohio.
The the long plan for that plant is only four
years and the only reason that plant is getting built
is from all the subsidies from the government to build it. Right,

(01:08:35):
and also all the finished product, although rails available, will
be shipped by truck. That's ninety semis a day to
go between Jeffersonville to Marysville, Ohio.

Speaker 2 (01:08:47):
Or it's or Corey maybe one hundred and eighty semis
a day if they use electric semis.

Speaker 3 (01:08:52):
Right, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 14 (01:08:55):
But they had the option of rail and they're they're
not going to use the rail, which to me of
the shows that they're not serious about it. Anyway, That's
all I had for you.

Speaker 1 (01:09:03):
I appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
Or they're just interested in maybe trying to keep some
of the union jobs that go along with this EV
transition in the form of union truck drivers, since there'll
be few of those needed when we get rid of
the internal combustion engine as well. Six forty five fifty

Manor of the City of Cincinnati, as we do every Monday.
He'll be on at seven thirty for the Smith event
coming up a little more than an hour. Brian James
for Monday Monday and a variety of topics with him.
We get three segments of Brian every single Monday. I
always enjoy talking to you and sparking Sminster's kind interesting conversation.
I call her about the the United Kingdom, the Metropolitan

(01:11:35):
Police commissioner there, so police will not necessarily confine their
arrests for speech crimes just in the London area. In
the United Kingdom, that'll be extraditing you for your online
postings which make their way into the UK market. Right now,
they've been hit with a whole bunch of violent protests
over immigration policies, including attacks and arson directed at immigration centers.

(01:11:59):
Fueled they claim by false reports spread online that the
person responsible for an attack at a Taylor Swift concert
dance event, leving three girls dead and others wounded, was
done by an illegal immigrant, when in fact it turns
out it was an eighteen year old British citizen born
to Rwandan parents, so second generation immigrant, so it was
not one of the newly arrived illegal immigrants. So if

(01:12:21):
you post something online sturing the pot of division involving
what racial divisions or maybe your anti immigration doesn't matter.
They claiming they're going to throw you in jail because
you've spread disinformation. But what when do you find out
whether the information you've been given is real or not right.
I'm certain that somebody out there in the world posted

(01:12:43):
something saying that this was an illegal immigrant. Now where
did they get that information? Did they make it up?
Had they read it someplace else. It's rather confusing because
you know, the information drips drips very slowly. Consider the
attempted assassination that Donald Trump. We still haven't gotten all
the answers from the United States Secret Service. What about

(01:13:04):
a position on that. I've had listeners call me in
saying there were three gunmen there, that it was, you know,
a coordinated attack that you know, we really you could
get arrested for that if you spread that kind of
thing in the United Kingdom. But we don't really know
yet whether it's true or not.

Speaker 7 (01:13:19):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:13:19):
I don't believe there was more than one shoot there. Personally,
I don't know what happened behind the scenes. Some suggest
maybe that this punk kid murderer was recruited socially isolated,
you know, and his very limited presence on the internet,
you know, sort of raising eyebrows of like, hmm, that's
very unusual for a twenty year old to not have
much of a social media presence, Was it scrubbed, was

(01:13:41):
it erased? Have they not found it yet? We don't know.
So at what point are our utterances considered, you know, speculation, conjecture,
actual factual information. Just throwing something out there to see
how people react. That's what free speech is all about.
And when you get this kind of like, for example,
with the assassination, all of these conspiracy theories popping up,
you'd think the government would be quick to dispel them

(01:14:02):
by releasing information and letting us know what the truth is.

Speaker 1 (01:14:05):
But we don't. So I don't have it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:09):
Analyzing the United United Kingdom's laws on the books, committing
these so called crimes by offering up your opinion online.
What about the fifty one so called experts who said
Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian collusion, Russian disinformation. Rather, there
are people that went online and said, no, that's nonsense,
this is real, And it took about a year, but

(01:14:32):
we all found out within fairly short period of time,
however long it was, that no, in fact, it was
in fact Hunter Biden's laptop. Now, prior to that, maybe
if you're in the United Kingdom and this involved a yacht,
United Kingdom related issue, You might have been arrested for
denying what these fifty one so called experts said. You'd
be arrested and then oh, well, we'll unring that bell
later when we're all told the truth. Same thing goes

(01:14:55):
with the Russian collusion. Donald Trump colluded with the Russians. Well,
we found out that was all fake. It was made
up whole cloth by the Democratic National Committee buying off
the Steele dossier, having it created. Now, if you if
you went online and committed the crime of saying that
Steele dossier wasn't real and that Donald Trump really didn't
do that stuff, maybe if you're in the UK, they'd
arrest you. But then the truth ultimately comes out. So

(01:15:19):
how does one gauge what's criminal in the United Kingdom
and what's not. They hate Elon Musk. Elon Musk does
not post what is on X. He provides a vehicle
for people to offer their assessment of the current climate,
and some assessment may be vitriolic. The mere fact that

(01:15:45):
it's vitriolic that some people might react and believe it
to be maybe a racist statement or a divisive statement.
Musk has no control over that, nor should he. It's
a free speech platform, and we do enjoy the right
to free speech in this country, regardless of what Tim
Waltz might say or Kamala Harris might say. We have

(01:16:05):
a First Amendment, but this United Kingdom it got all
springs from the Public Order Act of nineteen eighty six,
which prohibits any expressions of racial hatred defined as hatred
against a group of persons by reason of group's color, race, nationality, citizenship,
ethnic or national origins. Section eighteen specifically includes any speech

(01:16:26):
that is in their words, threatening, abusive, or insulting circle
the word insulting. Does your intent in your post have
to be insulting or is it just how one random
dude or someone in elected capacity in the UK perceives
to be insulting? But no, And arrest does not have

(01:16:48):
to be based on a showing of intent to stir
up racial hatred, but can merely be based on a
charge that quote, having regard to all the circumstances, racial
hatred is likely to be stirred up thereby in a
world where we have the Internet connection and we can
stir up racial hatred based upon events that never happened.

(01:17:08):
United States, Hands up, don't shoot, It's pretty easy to
stir it up. So the reaction from those easily offended
by something that might not otherwise necessarily stir up racial
hatred stirs up rachel hatred because they want to, so
they can go after the person posting this random not

(01:17:30):
necessarily you know, abusive post. The after effect justifies the
arrest for the prior post. Scary stuff, folks, truly scary stuff.
Six fifty six fifty five KRC DE Talk Station Stick around.
We got plenty to talk about in seven o'clock hour,
including Christopher Smithman joining the program at seven thirty.

Speaker 1 (01:17:50):

Speaker 5 (01:17:53):
Anything stop, Donald Trump.

a Happy Monday, Our Money Monday coming up in an hour,
Brian James, and of course at the bottom of this
hour Christopher Smithmen from our Vice Mayor of the City
Cincinnay with a smither event. We will learn the exact
same time what's on Christopher's mind this morning in about
a half hour. I'm always curious to know what's on
your mind too. If you'd like to call love to
hear from You five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty,

(01:18:23):
five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three Talk
Time five fifty on AT and T phones. Of course,
in the last segment, we were talking about the United
Kingdom cracking down on what they believe to be offensive
speechs and extraditing people from the United States into the
United Kingdom to criminally process them and prosecute them for
breaking the rules that exist in the United Kingdom, which
clearly do not apply to the United States, given that

(01:18:45):
we do have a first Amendment threatening abusive insulting posts
based on a charge that, having regard to all the circumstances,
racial hatred is likely to be stirred up. If someone
is stirred up as a consequence of your post, then
you get to be arrested in the United Kingdom. And

(01:19:06):
it's noted the Biden Harris administration has been a proponent
of censorship in blacklisting for years. So the one two
punch comes. If you go ahead and vote for the
Harris Walls ticket, you're going to get a whole lot
more of the same. Now, they've got a problem here
in the United States because of that tesky Second Amendment
and the Supreme Court precedents multiple of them, which protect
even the foulest of speech. It's a question of time.

(01:19:30):
If there is time for additional speech in between cries
of violence or anger or stirring the pot of rioting, looting, etc.
If there's additional time between the utterance and the time
that the rioting starts, then there's protected speech involved. Go
back to the Brandenburg decision, which I've talked about multiple

(01:19:51):
times here in the Morning Show. Yes, you can inflame
racist clan members with evil, vile, really unjustifiable attacks, and
it's protected. And it's protected because you know, that helps
us figure out who the idiots are in the room,
so we can talk more about their hatred and show

(01:20:11):
how it's wrong as a as a position period, I mean,
for a variety of reasons. More speech comes out when
well utterances are made that some consider to be hateful,
hateful perhaps, but inviting a welcome discussion on that underlying hatred.
That's the beauty of free speech. And John Turley pointed

(01:20:33):
this out in his recent op ed piece, which you
can find over at the Hill. A Harris Walts administration
will be a nightmare for free speech. So on the
heels of the UK locking people up for social media posts.
Back in her failed twenty twenty presidential bid, Turley Rights,
Harris ran on censorship and pledged at her administration in
her words, will hold social media platforms accountable for they

(01:20:54):
hate infiltrating their platforms because they have a responsibility to
help fight against this threat to our democracy.

Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
There's that pesky threat to democracy.

Speaker 2 (01:21:03):
October twenty nineteenth, Harris spoke directly to Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg,
insisting quote, this is not a matter of speech free speech.
This is a matter of holding corporate America and these
big tech companies responsible and accountable for what they are facilitating.
Simply offering a town square platform basically where you can
say what you want and be judged accordingly, and inviting

(01:21:24):
additional speech that might be contrary to whatever to your
utterance is that's bad. They provide a vehicle for that
free flow of communication, and somehow they're supposed to be
held accountable for every utterance on the social media platform.

Speaker 3 (01:21:40):
See.

Speaker 2 (01:21:40):
The only difference is here is you've got this social
media company in between. If that person was standing out
on the street, maybe on a soapbox with a megaphone,
they could do whatever they want and say whatever they
want within some legal guidelines, but that are very, very
very broad. They're all about that though. And again, at

(01:22:06):
any given moment in time, something could be deemed a
lie on social media, only for us to find out later,
usually sometime down the road, when the government is incapable
of keeping the information to itself, it feeds out to
us and we find out what they have been telling
us and what has been censured on censored on social media,
as the truth was in fact the truth, it turtly

(01:22:28):
points out. Benjamin Franklin warned founding Father. In those wretched
countries where a man cannot call his tongue his own,
he can scare, he can scarce call anything his own.
Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin
by subduing the freeness of speech. Without freedom of thought.

(01:22:49):
There can be no such thing as wisdom, and no
such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech, which
is the right of every man, or in modern times,
every person.

Speaker 1 (01:23:04):
That's what we want here in America.

Speaker 2 (01:23:07):
Do you remember the Disinformation Governance Board that was shut
down after the public found out about it? The Orwellian
Ministry of truth is one federal judge described it funding
blacklisting operations, tarting groups and individuals who opposed views. Remember
Lois Lerner and the irs going after conservative organizations, Eric

(01:23:29):
Holder's Department of Justice FBI arresting moms and dads at
school board meetings because they're concerned about their children and
what their children are being taught.

Speaker 1 (01:23:40):
Speech folks.

Speaker 2 (01:23:43):
Biden made censorship a central part of his legacy, accusing
social media companies of killing people his words for failing
to increased levels of censorship. Does he really believe that
Facebook or I mean, I'm not go defend Facebook acts,
any of the social media platforms are responsible for killing people.
That's the same argument they make with firearms manufacturers. Somehow

(01:24:04):
you can make a lawful product that's protected by our constitution,
and the manufacturer is somehow supposed to be responsible for
the unhinged violence someone using a firearm to commit a crime,
which is a crime. It's written there in the books.
You can't murder someone, whether it's with a baseball bat
or a firearm. That's a law in the books. Somehow

(01:24:24):
the firearms manufacturers is supposed to be accountable for that.
Somehow the social media platforms are supposed to be accountable
for some utterance from the literally millions and millions of
people who participate in the social media every single day.
Hell TikTok's got half of every single American on its account.
Not gonna defend TikTok either. Tim Waltz went on NBC

(01:24:53):
supporting censoring disinformation, declared quote, there's no guaranteed a free
speech on misinformation or a hate speech, and especially around
our democracy. No, there is, mister Waltz. I know you're
not a lawyer, and it's reflected in that stupid, stupid,
stupid utterance prior test before Congress on the censorship system

(01:25:17):
un of the Biden administration. The committee's ranking Democrat, Delaware's
Stacey Plaskett, declared, quote, I hope that all members recognize
that there is speech that is not constitutionally protected, referencing
hate speech as an example. That sentiment echoed by Senator VN. Cardon,

(01:25:38):
who is a lawyer. If you espouse hate, you're not
protected under the First Amendment.

Speaker 3 (01:25:44):
Wrong. That is wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:25:45):
Hate is not right, I'll admit, but you're allowed to
espouse it here in a nation with the First Amendment.
The Supreme Court has consistently rejected the claim of Governor
walt and these others. For example, thanks to John Turley,
me of this one because I was not aware of
or remember the twenty sixteen case of Matalvi Tam where

(01:26:06):
the Court stressed that this is exactly the position. This
position strikes at the heart of the First Amendment. The
Court wrote, speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability,
or anyother similar ground is hateful. But the proudest boast
of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the

(01:26:28):
freedom to express the thought that we hate. So no
one defends the hatred, but I'll defend the right to
free speech, and I'll certainly defend your right to remain
out of jail for making what some perceived it to

(01:26:49):
be hateful utterances while others perceive them maybe not so much.
Or even these so called disinformation utterance that Tim Waltz
talked about. What is disinformation? Folks, again going back to
the fifty one so called experts in the fields of
you know, cybersecurity and Russian influence pedaling saying Hunter Biden's
laptop was not Hunter Biden's laptop. Hmmm, disinformation maybe again.

(01:27:12):
The Steele dossier a lie made up by the Democratic
National Committee bought and paid for disinformation for you to
say it was wrong and false. Man, they're still hard
at work, folks. We know that the FBI and other

and U Sad Mornings were all manning the morning the
pas of Elmer Hensler. He's the founder of Queen City Sausage.
Just an amazing life story he had, according to the

(01:29:08):
Queen City Sausage website. He died peacefully at his Cincinnati
home early Saturday morning, at ninety four. They said Elmer's
life theme song was the Sinatra classic Mileway, and he
lived every day with as much vigor and determination as possible.
They say Elmer will continue to be deeply miss. An
amen to that got to know Elmer really well over
the years, and I just thought the world of the guy.

Speaker 3 (01:29:29):
He was hilarious.

Speaker 2 (01:29:31):
And it was one person in the planet who you
knew exactly what he was thinking at the moment he
was thinking, and it was Elmer Hensler, because he would let.

Speaker 3 (01:29:37):
You know he was a great guy.

Speaker 2 (01:29:42):
Heah deal with a saucy tongue, but I don't mind
that kind of dearly miss Elmer Hensler. And don't cheapen
the product was his motto. And I say that out loud,
just sort of hoping and praying that those who've taken
over the management of Queen City Sausage will still live
by Elmer Hensler's motto, do not cheapen the product. You
can find cheaper cuts of beef out there, and other

(01:30:03):
cuts of pork and the ingredients that go into Queen
City Sausage, but Elmer Hensler would never go cheap. He
always insisted on the best. And I hope that continues anyway. Morning,
the passing of a Cincinnati business icon. He started eighth grade,
he quit school, started Queen City Sausage, and then I'm
buying out pretty much every other manufacturer in the city.

(01:30:23):
Over time, he knew how to run a railroad. And yeah,
I was talking earlier this morning. As everybody's observing, Kamala
Harris no policy. She hasn't come out on the record,
she's not tanking questions. This is like day twenty two
on the Kamala Harris Watch. When will she be speaking
with reporters? When will people have a free flow of
back and forth communications with Kamala Harris. Well, if you

(01:30:45):
don't know what she's running on, she's kept you in
the dark. And she may be as far left as
she's lived her life, or she may change gears. I'm
not thinking that that's going to happen. But one thing
we do know about Kamala Harris, she was responsible for
the border and all the cities are doing with this
insanity created by the open border. Thank you, Kamala Harris.
You had control over that for three and a half years.

Speaker 3 (01:31:07):
Nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:31:07):
She's over there talking about how when she's elected president,
she's going to lower the prices of goods out there,
and of course social media blows up and says, wait
a minute. You've been around for three and a half years.
You're an elected capacity right now, why do you why
are you forcing us to wait? You're telling me what
the infirm Joe Biden basically one foot out the door.
If not both, you can't do something about it. You

(01:31:27):
got to these grand ideas you want to elaborate on
exactly how you're going to lower the price of goods
and how are you going to how are you going
to crack down on these so called evil corporations who
you allege that are price gouging. Yeah, the laws of
supplying de man are way outside the realm of any
company's ability to jiggle prices. But on the border of

(01:31:50):
New York is struggling because more and more of their
illegal immigrant prop population is stated to be sixty five
thousand at least. Once they're out of their time in shelters,
and sometimes while they still have time under the current
laws to stay in the shelters, they're moving out and
moving into tent encampments on the street. Some citing the
fact that there's so much violence and drugs, unruly behavior,

(01:32:13):
human traffic, and going on inside the city run shelters
that it's safer for them to be outside in tents,
obviously causing a bigger problem for New York than already has.
I was looking at Brightbart's reporting on this and they
pivot over. Not only is New York having a huge problem,
they try to put limits on migrants that they can.

(01:32:34):
Massachusetts Governor Marra Healy has been trying to limit the
number of right to shelter laws that their state has,
shifting weightless prioritizing actual residents in US military veterans who
are homeless and putting them ahead of migrants, trying They've
been suffering from criticism for several years now because they've
been putting illegal immigrants ahead of their own citizens in

(01:32:58):
the veteran population. Costs to the state shelter system one
billion dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:33:10):
Illy said to local news.

Speaker 2 (01:33:12):
We've been saying for months now that the rapid growth
of our emergency system shelter system is not sustainable. Massachusetts
is out of shelter space and we simply cannot afford
the current size of the system. And that's when I
ran into this fun fact corner to the Center for
Immigration Studies, the population of illegal immigrants in Massachusetts alone

(01:33:32):
three hundred and fifty five thousand. As I mentioned, they
already spent a billion dollars in the state shelter system.
They say the cost is going to start soaring to
one point eight billion annually by twenty twenty six, just
right around the corner. But that's just housing. It doesn't
include the cost of feeding, clothing, educating, giving free medical

(01:33:54):
and legal aid to those in the shelter system. Nor
does it include other social services like food stamps, Medicaid,
and the cost of other such programs. It is blowing
up budgets. It is unsustainable, unaffordable. Thank you, Kamala Harris.

of the City of Cincinnati, man of clear thinking, logic
and reason, and a guy with an opinion which he
offers every Monday at this time, Christopher Smithman and the
Monday Morning smith a Van Christopher, welcome back to the program,
my dear friend.

Speaker 3 (01:36:15):
It's always great talking.

Speaker 13 (01:36:16):
With you, Brian. It's always always good to talk to you,
and I had a great time at listener lunch. Let
me start there, and it was great to see you
and see everybody's faces. I want to say to you
that our friend Elmer Hinsler passed away Saturday morning or

(01:36:38):
Friday night. What a great leader, businessman, A person who
had an eighth grade education, built a one hundred million
dollar company, A legend across the region, across the country,

(01:37:00):
considered him a good friend. I don't think the family
would mind me saying I was with him about a
week ago on August the first we sat on his
back porch, had a cigar, had a great conversation. And
I tell you he will be deeply missed by me

(01:37:22):
and so many other people. And I'll leave this subject
matter with this. This was a great American who built
a company by working hard, something that is thoroughly missed
in this country. It was had nothing to do with race,
had nothing to do with gender, I had nothing to

(01:37:45):
do with anything. He treated everybody fairly. What Elmer Hensler
wanted you to do was work. And one of the
greatest gifts he gave me was teaching me how to live.
Here's a man at ninety four who found himself in
Florida with friends and family, traveling around like he was

(01:38:07):
twenty five years old.

Speaker 1 (01:38:08):
Oh yeah, tough question.

Speaker 13 (01:38:11):
He just showed us how to live.

Speaker 1 (01:38:13):
He did, and he's surrounded himself and I got to
give him prov for this.

Speaker 13 (01:38:16):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:38:16):
Of course Imer a wealthy man, he was, but he
had like a twenty four to seven nursing staff, all
these beautiful nurses that took great care of him. He
would post pictures of him and whatever nurse was with
him on Facebook all the time. Always had that excrement
eating grin on his face like he was just loving
life all the way up to the end. Man, that
was Elmer.

Speaker 13 (01:38:38):
And I know you appreciate all of the advertising that
he has done over the years with your family, with
your father, with you, with the station. He was a
big supporter of your listening audience. And I just extend
my love, my deep gratitude to Donna, Greg, the entire
Queen City Sausage employees, family and friends, well him. You

(01:39:00):
loved him, You're listening audience loved him. I'm going to
continue to eat.

Speaker 1 (01:39:05):
A sausage, continue to promote.

Speaker 13 (01:39:07):
His sausage, and I just want to give him a
salute this morning at the beginning of my screen day.

Speaker 2 (01:39:13):
And I appreciate that because I feel exactly the same way.
And while they haven't advertised on the morning show for
quite a few years now. I still loyally buy the
products because they're the best. I mean, there's no question
about it. I've been through the plant, I know how
they're made, I know what they're made with, and I
confidently buy them and eat them because I know you
can't find a better product. And you know, hell, I'd
speak for them in a heartbeat if they wanted to

(01:39:35):
come back on. But it is a superior product, and
I hope they continue that. Elmer Hensler promise to his
loyal purchasers that he'll never Achiepen the product. That's what
made it so great and that's why people love it
so much.

Speaker 13 (01:39:49):
You are so right. I wanted to just pivot Brian
Thomas into our students or headed back to school. Some
across the country started last week. Teachers definitely started last week.
We'll see students going back this week as our students
go back to school. First, as I said before, the

(01:40:10):
greatest way out of poverty, into the middle class, into
the upper middle class, and into wealth is still getting
a good education period.

Speaker 1 (01:40:21):
In spite of dropping out of school in eighth grade.

Speaker 13 (01:40:26):
That's rights and people, you know, there are people who
can do this, but that's not for everybody. People need
people have to go in young people focus on their grades,
get their own work. But what's missing in our schools
is the pledge allegiance. In my opinion, what's missing in
our school is deference to God. That's what's missing in

(01:40:47):
our school. And these are all things that I had
when I was a student every morning pledge allegiance, right,
So what we're what we're turning out now are people
in my young people who have this disconnect Brian Thomas
to our country. And so I share with schools and
leaders who are listening those private schools in particular that

(01:41:08):
can make sure that their students understand that we live
in the greatest country in the world, that they make
sure that that's a part of their curriculum.

Speaker 3 (01:41:16):
Amen to that.

Speaker 2 (01:41:16):
And it also provides a springboard for discussion. Why are
we saying the pledge of allegiance? You know we did
that when I was in elementary school. I remember a
teacher forced us to sit down, pen in hand and
write out the Pledge of Allegiance as we understood it,
the words to be. And you know a lot of
kids at third grade or whatever had the words wrong,
or they didn't know the whole thing and they couldn't
write it down. That segued into a discussion of each

(01:41:40):
sentence in the pledge and what it means and why
we say it every day. What a wonderful learning opportunity
that is. That's not what the left wants though, they
don't want a strong America. Let's pause, we'll bring Christopher back.
More Smith event coming up after I get to mention
my friends at Affordable Imaging Services who will do an image,
an MRI, CT scan and co cartogram ultrasound lung screening
car already act scoring for a simple fraction of what

(01:42:02):
the hospital imaging department's charge. Nothing more expensive for any
for any one of the scans I just mentioned. The
most expensive you can get is an MRI with a contrast,
and it's only six hundred and forty five dollars, which
includes the board certified radiologist report that you and your
physician are going to get within forty eight hours. That's
the most you can pay. An MRI with a is

(01:42:24):
like thirty five hundred to maybe one thousand dollars. Any
one of these scans can cost you literally thousands of dollars,
and I don't know what your insurance company is going
to pay on that, but most people are stuck with
some form of out of pocket liability or an upfront
deductible you got to cover before the insurance kicks in.
Whatever the case may be. You're going to spend more
on that than you would for the entire image at
Affordable Imaging services. And yes, you have a choice when

(01:42:45):
it comes to medical care. You always have a choice.
Heck and ultrasound it affordable imaging is only two hundred
and fifty bucks. And how about that lung screening ninety
nine dollars. Yes, a much better deal. You're not going
to sacrifice anything by way of image quality or the rate.
I'll just report, So go where you want and save
huge money. Five one three seven five three eight thousand,

This is fifty five KARC an iHeartRadio station for Doug Goode, the.

Speaker 2 (01:43:15):
Fifty five pair c DE talk station. Brian Thomas here
with Christopher Smithlin with the smith Event. Christopher, the mike
is yours have out.

Speaker 3 (01:43:23):
Of my friend brother.

Speaker 13 (01:43:25):
Let me share with you that as students are going
back to school I'm asking parents to do their homework
when it comes to voting. We have too many voters
that are showing up to cast votes early because early
voting starts soon in October in Ohio. So I want
voters to do their homework, learn about the candidates, learn

(01:43:48):
about the issues prior to going to the poll and
casting a vote that is not too much to ask.
Stop being dependent on getting a sample ballot at the
door and just voting straight down. Learn about what's happening
in your community and go informed. So in my scleen

(01:44:10):
event this morning, I think it's appropriate to say, do
your homework, spend some time. Candidates that will not answer
questions read alert. Candidates that candidates that will not answer
questions read alert.

Speaker 1 (01:44:27):
Are you speak about there.

Speaker 13 (01:44:30):
Well, i'm speaking of the vice president, I'm speaking of anyone.
But yes, I'm saying, if you're unwilling to sit down
and just answer questions about your platform, here's what I'm
going to do. Here's my vision for the county, the state,
the city, the federal government of the United States of America.
However you want to paint the picture, if you're unwilling
to answer those basic questions, and I'm going in to vote,

(01:44:53):
I'm saying, read alert Brian Thomas, and I think it's fair.
I believe that my first my First Amendment and Second
Amendment rights are on the ballot. I think inflation is
on the ballot. I think oil expiration is on the ballot.
I think that anti Israeli is on the ballot. There

(01:45:14):
are lots of things that are on the ballot that
I'm saying as a voter times you can be most selfish.
I'm also saying that if you have people around you
who are eighteen and are not registered to vote, register
them to vote. And my last point about this subject
matter is if you don't vote, shut your mouth. I
don't want to hear it. Don't complain on November sixth

(01:45:37):
if you didn't show up and participate in the political process.
And those who say you don't like the outcome and
you're going to leave the United States of America, lead now,
those of you who say you don't like our country,
lead now. Go to Canada if you want to go there.
Go to Poland if you want to go there. It
doesn't matter to me. If you don't like the United

(01:45:59):
States of America, take a one way ticket, get out
of here. That's what I'm saying, Brian Thomas's morning. I
get so frustrated because I talk to people who will say, oh, man,
I'm so fired up, I'm so geeked about the upcoming election.
But I've never voted, or my husband has never voted,
or my family members don't vote. What are we doing

(01:46:20):
if we're only allowing thirty percent of registered voters across
the country. And that's why to cast votes and decide
who the president of the United States is, who's your
county commissioner, who's your Hamilton County prosecutor? Who I support?
Melissa Powers? Who's your sheriff? Which I support? Sheriff Neil
who's running for share? But if you're not doing your homework,

(01:46:40):
Brian Thomas, how can you then turn to the students
who are going back to school and say do your homework?

Speaker 2 (01:46:48):
Well, I, like I often say, Chris, or you can
call me looking for an argument. I agree with you completely.
The only problem is, and here's my just observation of
people in the relationship to politics, is that you know
you and I and folks of our ilk my listening audience,
those who stay in touch with media who serve different
outlets looking for you know, alternative points of view. You know,

(01:47:09):
whether it's it's liberal or conservative. There's a whole mixed
bag of sites you can go to, many of which
you are going to have to go to directly because I
defy people go ahead and post an article, post it
on Brightbart. It could be one hundred percent accurate. If
you put it on Facebook, no one's ever going to
see it. So you got to be able to go
to that site yourself. But you know, people like you
and I we do that all the time because we eat, sleep,

(01:47:29):
and breathe politics, and so it's easier to stay up
to speed and know what people are campaigning on and
knowing what they stand for, or the silent ones who
don't utter a syllable about where they actually stand Kamala Harris.
Most people don't allocate anytime during their week the things political.
I mean, I remember when we had, you know, younger kids,

(01:47:51):
and you got to deal with the school issues, you
got sports after school, you're going back and forth. You know,
you're exhausted after you're eight, ten, twelve, fourteen hour day
or whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:47:59):
You I'm home.

Speaker 2 (01:48:00):
You're lucky if you have a family dinner last thing
you're going to do is sit down and immerse yourself
in politics. Usually you're going to go into Netflix and
binge watch your favorite show for a while to relax,
which I understand. But people need to put time in
their lives to take an active interest in politics. Unless
you do that, you're never going to be truly informed
about where any given candidate stands on the positions.

Speaker 13 (01:48:26):
Absolutely, one hundred percent, Brian Thomas. You know, I'm thinking
about inflation, and I'm thinking about kids going back to school,
Brian Thomas, And I'm thinking about those families out there
that are trying to buy a nice pair of shoes
for the kids, or book bag or lunch pail, or

(01:48:46):
a nice shirt or a nice pair of jeans from
stocks and clean underwear T shirts. They're families out there, brother,
who are really struggling to put food on the table,
and now they're being pressed against the wall to make
sure that their children look nice on the first day,
second day, or third day of school. Look, my hats
go out to American families who get up every day,

(01:49:09):
work two and three jobs to put food on the table,
close on their kids back, and I salute them this
morning as the greatest Americans. But they have to understand
that the public policies that are coming down from the
federal government are absolutely impacting their ability to buy those

(01:49:30):
needed school supplies for their children. And make that connection
on November fifth, and we will have a landslide federally, statewide,
and locally. Meaning I'm watching the federal government pour our
oil reserves onto the market. As you know, I'm a

(01:49:50):
financial planner. I'm watching those oil prices drop, making gas
diesel cheaper as we go into the November fifth election.
The problem is, first of all, we're giving up our
oil reserves. Number two, we're buying We bought that oil,
some of it down at seventeen and twenty dollars a
barrel is now near eighty dollars a barrel. So at

(01:50:11):
the end of the day, when we get on November sixth,
right when we say by low fail high, we'll be
buying high, trying to pull back in those reserves that
we use in order to influence this election coming up.
Don't get hoodwinked by seeing lower prices right now when
you're pumping your gas, because I'm sharing with your listening audience,

(01:50:31):
we've got a federal government that is pouring our oil
reserves out in order to keep those prices.

Speaker 2 (01:50:37):
Lower while denying us access to additional drilling than and
other access to resources that would make us energy independent,
all the name of this so called green New deal.
And yet while they scream about green New Deal and
the earth dying or whatever, here they are pumping in
well oil into the system that we sit on in
case of national emergency simply to make the price go

(01:51:00):
lower when they're the ones that buy design caused the
prices to go up.

Speaker 5 (01:51:04):
Wow, it's.

Speaker 13 (01:51:07):
It's the truth. If you live in Pennsylvania, right, you
live in Ohio, you live in Indiana, you live in Kentucky,
Just give me the West Virginia, you no there and
you go. Man, Which candidate do I think with focused
on oil exploration?

Speaker 12 (01:51:22):
Right?

Speaker 13 (01:51:23):
Would who's gonna not throw coal right out of the window?

Speaker 1 (01:51:27):
No coal?

Speaker 13 (01:51:28):
Which candidate is going to make sure that the people
that are in my state are working in this space
called oil exploration. My point is that look and figure
out which candidates really support these things. So if they're
against racking and you live in Pennsylvania, I don't care
what your governor says. In Pennsylvania, I don't care how
many ways he says it right. They want to say

(01:51:51):
all of these wedge issues like abortion are on the
are on the table for the election. That's what they want.
They want to have wedge is I'm saying, my pocketbook
is on the table. My ability to get up every day,
fill up my tank, go to work, have a job,
pay my basic bills, maybe take a basic vacation with

(01:52:13):
my family, buy clothes, food, shelter, pay my rent, however
you want to define it. That is really what is
on the ballot. And they're trying to put us to
sleep and have us focus on white black issues, LGBTQ
plus issues, things that are not relevant in my opinion,

(01:52:33):
as we're talking about the basic needs of Americans going
into twenty twenty five, people are really hurting. That's not
an exaggeration. People are suffering and hurting because they cannot
buy their medicine, their social Security checks aren't going far enough,
they can't pay their rent, They're having serious at their
grocery bills every week are crisis. That is what is

(01:52:56):
actually on the ballot. If you keep listening to this
nonsense by these politicians that you don't do your homework,
you'll get confused on the election day on November the sixth,
Your life will never get will still not get better
for the next four years.

Speaker 2 (01:53:11):
Well, you hit it out of the park as always,
Christopher Smithlan couldn't agree with you more by you better
off now than you were four years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:53:17):
You can go ahead and ask yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:53:18):

unless we don't talk, I'll look forward to talking to
me again on Monday. And God bless you, sir, have

President Trump says new Clay Travis and Buck Sexton a
solid odds on favorite.

Speaker 7 (01:54:50):
Today at noon on fifty five KRC, the talk station.

Speaker 2 (01:54:56):
Eight oh five at fifty five kr CD Talk station.
A very happy Monday to you. I always enjoyed this
time on a Monday because we get to talk finance
and investments and planning for the future and what in
the hell is going on with the stock market. Welcome
back Brian James from All were Financial for another edition
of Money Monday.

Speaker 1 (01:55:11):
Good to have you back on my friend. Hope you
had a nice weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:55:14):
You too.

Speaker 2 (01:55:14):
I hope it's been good for the Thomas family as well. Absolutely, canning.
We have a bumper crop of tomatoes and others and
we've been canning, so we spent all weekend canning tomatoes.

Speaker 3 (01:55:26):
Good time. I'll get you through the through the next
nuclear fallout.

Speaker 2 (01:55:29):
Absolutely yeah, planning ahead right, homegrown tomatoes stocked away for
down the use, down the road use. And we did
the numbers on this one. I hate to admit because
I always think of things in terms of dollars and cents,
and I looked at it like a regular can of
you know, canned tomatoes, what you would pay at the
grocery store and the court of can tomatoes that we

(01:55:50):
made from our own efforts and labor, and after you
pay for the cans and you spent a couple of hours,
you know, washing and cleaning and the skinning and yah
YadA YadA. I'm not sure the math. It really works
out to the homecanner's advantage. You can get a cad
for a buck fifty at the store.

Speaker 3 (01:56:05):
But but it's about the friends you make along the way.
It's the pride.

Speaker 2 (01:56:10):
It's the pride of growing in and doing it yourself
and all that goes along with it. Anyway, didn't mean
to go down that road necessarily, but stock market. I
thought we were all going to die when the Japan
market crashed and then ours followed. We lost so many
points off the Dow and the various other markets. But
after one week it looks like most of it's been regained.
What is going on with the markets here.

Speaker 3 (01:56:29):
Brian, Brian, what's going on with the markets?

Speaker 6 (01:56:31):
It's the same thing that's been going on forever, which
is a short term terror and then long term met
So we took a big dive on last Monday so
we couldgo today. It kicked off with the NIK then
now the Nick and Japan isn't what it was in
the eighties, right, It's still still a powerful, large economy,
but there was a while where we thought, you know,

(01:56:51):
the post war economy in Japan in thirty forty years
ensuing World War Two through the eighties, we thought that
was going to be the end all be all that
we should all drive for, right, But ever since then,
you know, in the thirty forty years since then, since
that peak, we've seen a very different story. So Japan's
a large economy, but it has a lot of challenges
that the United States economy does not have. But when

(01:57:14):
you know, in a lot of cases when it comes
to investments and market indexes and all those, you know
types of things, when one region gets a sniffle, somebody
else gets a cold. And so we saw a huge
reaction on Monday to the in the overall stock market.
Plus there there's always this underlying sense of doom, right.
We always feel like we're we have two ten toes
over the ledge and we're about to go over the cliff.

Speaker 3 (01:57:35):
And a lot of times you know that the herd.

Speaker 6 (01:57:37):
Is simply looking for a catalyst to say, you know
what this is it that's the gunshot. Everybody panic, And
that seems to have been what happened Monday, because right
if you went to sleep last Sunday and woke up
this morning and didn't read any headlines, you'd think the
market did nothing. The dal Jones is down abou zero
point six percent over the week. The S and P
five hundred is just about perfectly flat as we're sitting

(01:57:58):
here right now. So as long as you didn't read
the headlines, it ended up being a big old nothing burger.

Speaker 3 (01:58:03):
Now, did you have you know?

Speaker 2 (01:58:04):
I know you're a financial planner and you quite often
joke about your job being more about talking people off
the ledge and actually your involvement with you know, actively
managing funds and trading stocks and like, but keeping people
in the mix rather than fleeing when the market has
a tank. That's the worst possible time to sell. You
shouldn't sell when it's down. But do you have any
personal experience with someone saying Nope, had enough, I need

(01:58:27):
to get out of this. It's only going to get
rockier and worse as as as we move forward.

Speaker 3 (01:58:32):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (01:58:32):
Absolutely, And it's natural And as a financial advisor, your
naive if you think you should be able to avoid
those times, that's your job. So yeah, I got the
phone rang a decent amount last week of people just
kind of checking in. Most people simply react to it
is that it's almost like they want to make sure
I'm going to pick up the phone because think we've
talked about these things before. We've built a financial plan

(01:58:53):
and we stress tested it, meaning we put together your goals,
here's what you're trying to accomplish, here's the resources you have,
and here's what it looks like if nothing bad ever happens.

Speaker 1 (01:59:01):
Again.

Speaker 6 (01:59:02):
Now let's do the whole process again, but let's stress
test it, meaning, for example, let's take away twenty percent
of your financial net worth. Doesn't matter how it goes away,
but let's just pretend that that happens on day one
of retirement. The market takes a hit, you gambled it away,
or there are some kind of health problem.

Speaker 3 (01:59:17):
I it doesn't matter. Let's just do the numbers again.

Speaker 6 (01:59:19):
If your plan can handle it, then we can say, look,
we have stress tested you can handle this much pain,
but not that much, so we know where the limit is.
If your plan can't handle that, now we got to
go back to the drawing board and figure out how
to either increase the amount of resources we have, which
means maybe working longer, possibly saving more.

Speaker 3 (01:59:37):
It never means let's look for better performing investments. Right.

Speaker 6 (01:59:40):
We're always in the best performing investments according to someone's
risk tolerance. There's no reason not to be. But it's
just really a matter of having your eyes on the
prize toward the end and understand what it will look
like in the good times, but most importantly, what it
will look and feel like, Brian, in the bad time.

Speaker 2 (01:59:54):
And that's the most important value of a financial planner
from my perspective. You have all the algorithms you can run,
those various now paes, and what the future looks like
based upon any given circumstance. I mean, I had that
done for me, and you know, gives me some comfort
knowing that, yeah, if it takes a big hit, you're
at least going to be able to pay your bills, Brian,
so don't worry about it too much. That's I mean,
that's peace of mind, right, I mean, that's really what

(02:00:16):
you're looking for with in terms of your financial plan
for the future.

Speaker 6 (02:00:19):
Absolutely, And I would say I don't bring much value
in terms of setting people up with investment plans, right.
We put a lot of time and energy into that,
but there's an awful lot of options out there for that.
The value of any financial advisor is more in perspective.
So as I've done this for thirty years, and so
what that means is that I have thirty years worth
of conversations with with terrified clients, crazy situations either related

(02:00:43):
to the market or maybe somebody's personal situation, and the
perspective and the value and an advisor is somebody who
can basically say, hey, look this is how I this
is how other clients got through this. This part stinks,
but here's some levers you can pull, and these are different,
different approaches you can take to address the issue, whatever
that happens to be. I'm not worried about, you know,
artificial intelligence and all that stuff taking over my job

(02:01:04):
because at the end of the day, people still want
to make eye contact with somebody who can make them
feel better about things by helping them see the forest
for the trees exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:01:11):
So, and we have that many years experience. Of course,
you've seen some pretty substantial ups and downs in the
market over the years. Pivoting over what the hell is
it with August? I know that's we were going to
cover this topic in this segment. So why is August?

Speaker 13 (02:01:25):
What do.

Speaker 2 (02:01:25):
They described as one of the most dangerous months in
the financial calendar, according to the Guardians reporting.

Speaker 3 (02:01:30):
Yeah, there's just a.

Speaker 6 (02:01:31):
Lot of things that happen in August, and historically speaking,
this all these these are these headlines are kind of
click baity, right, we want to get five balls on
screen so we can sell advertising. But there's a lot
of history that kicked off in August two thousand and
eight probably being the biggest one.

Speaker 3 (02:01:46):
That's when that's when we started to have a little
bit of chaos.

Speaker 6 (02:01:48):
Of course technically started earlier that year, but that the
roller the top of the roller coaster ride back in
two thousand and eight really started in August, and just
just some different things. Historically, this is when when the
original Gulf War began and that triggered an oil crisis
in you know, thirty forty years ago, and just it's

(02:02:10):
just something for people to grab onto to say it
is August.

Speaker 3 (02:02:13):
I want to control things.

Speaker 6 (02:02:14):
Therefore, here's things that happen in August, and I'm going
to assume they happen again. It's a dangerous way to
think about it. A lot of times nothing happens. Pick
a random year and probably nothing major happened in August,
but there do happen to be a lot of events
out there historically that did have an impact.

Speaker 2 (02:02:28):
Well, it is kind of I mean, you know, did
anybody expect that, I'm just saying to invade Kuwait when
he did? I mean that that August was the date
that he chose to move into Kuwait. I mean, it
seems fortuitous. It has nothing to do with August. It's
just whatever timing he decided at the time. But there
are a lot of It just seems to me, you know,
sort of just perchance that August was a date when

(02:02:50):
something bad happened. It wasn't because it was the month
of August that had happened, correct.

Speaker 3 (02:02:55):
And that's not the only thing too.

Speaker 6 (02:02:56):
I mean, there's August typically has a yes, yeah, that
the historical events are largely coincidence, but some other things
that go along with August. You have lower trading volume,
and this is literally because because there aren't as many
traders moving dollars around. It's vacation time, right, everybody's dealing
with somebody who you got haven't gotten an email back
from because they're on PTO. Well, that happens in the

(02:03:17):
stock market too, meaning that portfolios don't move around as much.
And I'm not talking about you know, I'm talking about
literally globally, across the across the entire world. The stock
market is based in New York City, of course, the
largest chunk of it anyway, So anybody who wants to
trade American stocks is going to deal with the American calendar.
A lot of Americans are on vacation, so little things
like that do have an impact on the market.

Speaker 3 (02:03:39):
There's just less activity. And there are also there's a
number of other economic data releases.

Speaker 6 (02:03:43):
There's a whole bunch of things that come out in
terms of a Federal Reserve reports, and it's just it's
just a bigger quarter for that kind of information to
drive the market, and that can have an impact as well.

Speaker 2 (02:03:54):
Yeah, and that's the article points so that to that point,
the month of August is when strains become a parent
that can lead to crises in September, so the reporting
you're talking about, the red flags that are being waived,
and then you know the aftermath is inevitable and that's
obviously the following month in September.

Speaker 1 (02:04:12):
So let us pause.

Speaker 2 (02:04:14):
We'll bring Brian James back to talk about our credit
card debt not looking real good considering the average consumers
total credit card debt.

Speaker 3 (02:04:22):
One.

Speaker 2 (02:04:23):
Get that and we'll also get ready for nasty layoffs.
That'll be topic number three with Brian James coming up first.
A word for talking about money, a real money issue
is you're in medical insurance. You know how much money
you're paying every month, and you know what your out
of pocket responsibility is, maybe your co pay, and that
is substantial, so substantial. There are a lot of folks
out there that won't even get a monthly or rather

(02:04:45):
pay a monthly premium because they can handle the out
of pocket responsibilibility that they would have, like say, un
an Obamacare plan. There are better ways, and that way
is to work with a team that covers. Since the
John Rolman and his team, they pride themselves on being
experts in healthcare, not just health insurance. They work with
hundreds of insurance companies thousands of different healthcare plans, which

(02:05:05):
allows them to customize a plan best fitting your individual needs.
He's a medical insurance broker, meaning he works for you,
not the insurance companies. And since he has this diverse
group of insurance companies and policies. He can find the
best solution for your specific needs. And I emphasize specific
because they look at every person individually. You, your family

(02:05:25):
all are individuals and each person may in your family
may have a different policy or a package of policies.
Same thing with businesses, they look at each of the employees.
They can even improve your business's bottom line and make
medical insurance affordable to those well your employees who can't
afford it. Talk about employee retention. Can you imagine that
the benefits of having dollar one coverage for your employees. Yeah,

(02:05:48):
that'll create some employee loyalty when they can afford it
and they can. Working with Cover Sinsey, it's just a
phone call. There's no obligation to you. Just initiate the
conversation to find out how much money and better coverag
John and the team can do for you. That's five
one three eight hundred two two five five five to
one three eight hundred call to learn more about cover
Sincy in the team and to fill out a form
to start this process. It's easy to do. The website

(02:06:11):
Coversincy dot.

Speaker 8 (02:06:13):
Com fifty five krc A twenty.

Speaker 2 (02:06:17):
Fifth about KRCD talk station Brian Thomas with always Brian
James do on a Monday Monday Uh, obviously reflective of
something that I can say that you don't have to
agree with me. Necessarily better off now than you were
four years ago. We see that the United States collectively
Americans oh one point one four trillion dollars on the
credit cards, with the average average credit card balance now

(02:06:40):
six three and twenty nine dollars according to TransUnion, UH
and more falling behind on their payments. This is not
a pretty picture, Brian James, considering how high the interest
rates are in credit cards these days, most notably right.

Speaker 6 (02:06:53):
Yeah, it's not an ideal situation if you're one of
those people with the average of sixty three hundred dollars
sitting on a credit card. And the thing to remember, right,
because I get a lot of people confused about this.
People will sheepishly tell me that, well, we have money
on a credit card, but we pay it off every month.
Well good, Then you don't have money on a credit card.
You're just you're using it as a payment vehicle. So
we're talking about people with rotating balances, meaning they don't

(02:07:14):
pay it off and they're paying The article doesn't say
much about interest rates. But the whole reason the credit
card industry exists, of course, is for the banks behind
it to ultimately get loans out there at sixteen, seventeen,
eighteen percent, sometimes twenty seven to twenty eight percent, because
people forget that I got that sign up bonus, I
got my miles or my rewards or my whatever last year,

(02:07:36):
and now it's just a credit card and I'll just
throw somem dobt on it.

Speaker 3 (02:07:38):
No big deal. That's what they're hoping for.

Speaker 6 (02:07:40):
That's why they give you all that upfront stuff, because
they're going to make an enormous amount of money on
the people who cannot pay those balances off. And we're
just at a part of the economic cycle where people
are needing to find money in extra places just to
get the ends to meet correctly.

Speaker 1 (02:07:56):
Well, I guess what to do.

Speaker 2 (02:07:58):
I mean, obviously manage once finances where they can rely
less on credit cards. But it's easy to say, but
practically speaking, when your grocery bill has gone up twenty
percent or whatever the inflationary realities around us, some people
just can't do that.

Speaker 1 (02:08:13):
I imagine.

Speaker 6 (02:08:14):
Yeah, it can be tough, but you know, it all
starts with knowing where your money goes in the first place. Yeah,
sit down, sit down and look at look at your
checking account. This isn't hard to do. Look at your
checking account. And if you're using the credit card for everything,
that actually that's a good thing. It makes it it
makes it easier, at least under to see where things
are going.

Speaker 2 (02:08:31):
Yeah, they do provide those breakdowns, and I know it is.
I'm not much of a credit card user. Obviously, I
use my credit cards you have to, most notably for
online purchases and that. But I like to lean on
cash because it helps me stay within the confines of
a reasonable weekly expenditure. You know, if I have if
I get five hundred dollars out, it's got to last
me the whole week or whatever. That's one of the

(02:08:53):
reasons why I typically pay in cash. But if you
use your credit card, they break it down by category.
It's like, Okay, where am I spend? Where were I
spending that I shouldn't be spending?

Speaker 3 (02:09:02):
Right?

Speaker 2 (02:09:03):
You know, It's like, I know there are luxury items
in here, Let's see where they are and see what
percentage of my monthly expenditures going to things that I
might be able to cut out of my expenditure list.

Speaker 3 (02:09:13):
Yeah, that's exactly right.

Speaker 13 (02:09:14):
Now.

Speaker 3 (02:09:15):
I learned this.

Speaker 6 (02:09:16):
I learned that completely by accident because I'm a little
I'm in the opposite of you.

Speaker 3 (02:09:19):
I'm a bit of a financial hacker.

Speaker 6 (02:09:20):
I want to connect things that I'm going to do
anyway and have it benefit me somehow. And so what
I'm speaking of is rewards. Well, we did twenty years ago.
We set up a credit card. It was through Fidelity
and they still have them, that paid two percent into
a five twenty nine plan, and we used that.

Speaker 3 (02:09:35):
We swiped it for absolutely everything we could.

Speaker 6 (02:09:37):
I've heared that pay for the company lunches and all
that stuff that was going to get expense and everything.
And that ended up being I'm not exaggerating, bright it
was close to forty thousand dollars of rewards plus whatever
the market did on you know, this is two decades
of market growth here too.

Speaker 3 (02:09:52):
So but as I was doing that, that was my goal.

Speaker 6 (02:09:54):
As I was doing that, I realized that the Fidelity
would spit out a little spreadsheet that would say, here's
what you spent at the grocery store, here's what you
spent on streaming stuff, here's the cell phone bill, all
of that stuff. So anyway, the moral of the story
is to get back to our point, understand where you are,
and you may already have the resources you need to
do that we're not talking about. You know, this isn't
the eighteen hundreds where you need to go over the

(02:10:14):
big giant ledgers and dig all these transactions out. You
probably pull it up on your phone, know where the
dollars are going and figure out where you can trim back.

Speaker 1 (02:10:22):
And can I make fun of Starbucks right now?

Speaker 3 (02:10:24):
Of course we knew that every week.

Speaker 2 (02:10:27):
Every week somebody sends something to be off airs, like
you really have a thing about Starbucks, Like, come on,
it's just that I recognize I can get a far
better value and an equally good cup of coffee if
I'm making it myself. I save so much money because
we are coffee drinking in the house. If every one
of the cups of coffee that was drinking our house
was purchased from Starbucks, I'd have to get a second mortgage.

Speaker 3 (02:10:47):
I mean no, I.

Speaker 6 (02:10:48):
Yes, and I'm the same way, have the same thought.
I have to allow for the fact that I can
smell the difference between Starbucks coffee and gas station coffee.

Speaker 3 (02:10:55):
I cannot taste it, so therefore I'm going to save those.

Speaker 2 (02:10:57):
Dollars well and making it home. You get to pick
your own bean. You can go with dark roast or
maybe a regular roast, a Columbian. You get your own choice.
It's all far less expensive. So thank you for yet
another opportunity to point out an easy place to save
a lot of money. Coming up here to get ready
for nasty layoffs. I hope that's a clickbait headline. More

right shoulder southbound seventy five continued slow through Lachman North,
found having as buttermilk into downtown. Delay times have dropped

(02:13:31):
under the ten minute market. Chuck ing ramon fifty five
ker seat the talk station.

Speaker 2 (02:13:37):
AY twenty nine for the goive KCV talk station Brian
Thomas with Brian James, one more segment of money Monday,
and we do it every Monday. And change in the
market conditions at least for workers, saygabye to the four
day work week and remote work, Brian. This is some
of the red flags being waved now since jobs reports
going kind of south on folks.

Speaker 6 (02:13:57):
Yeah, so we're hitting a part of the economic cycle
where things are slowing a little bit.

Speaker 3 (02:14:02):
And this again, this is not at all to be
I hate this headline. Frankly, we're good.

Speaker 6 (02:14:06):
We're not going to work on the weekends, those kinds
of things a little bit feer.

Speaker 2 (02:14:11):
I got a kick out of that Samsung, for example,
telling you executives to show up on Saturday or Sunday
to help boost the company's business. I wrote boo hoo
next to that, because I practice litigation for a Chicago
law firm and you just work at work six days
a week regardless. So we was just you know, telling
people to show up, get your butt into work, and
get some bill will hours on. That's what was all about.

(02:14:33):
And yeah, no sympathy at all. It's all about the.

Speaker 6 (02:14:36):
Profit margin and if the workers are at the machines,
we can make profit.

Speaker 3 (02:14:39):
Now.

Speaker 6 (02:14:39):
The key point there was that in that particular part
of the headline was was Samsung executives.

Speaker 3 (02:14:44):
Well, if you're truly an executive for a big.

Speaker 6 (02:14:46):
Company like that, you're pretty much working nights and weekends anyway,
because the emails come in.

Speaker 3 (02:14:50):
We're not talking nine to five people.

Speaker 6 (02:14:51):
So but any case, what's happening here the things that
the average person might be able to expect.

Speaker 3 (02:14:56):
There's just some reduced flexibility.

Speaker 6 (02:14:58):
So companies are becoming a little bit less accommodating with
these flexible work arrangements, whether that is build your own schedule,
or if it's the location, whether.

Speaker 3 (02:15:05):
You're working from home or remote or so forth.

Speaker 6 (02:15:08):
They're just feeling that companies are no longer feeling like
they have to offer those things in order to hire people.
Since the economy is slowing a bit, there aren't jobs everywhere,
so you're no longer going to have you know, we've
had this situation here where we will have the very
first question out of potential employee's mouth is what's the
schedule like?

Speaker 3 (02:15:26):
And can I work from home?

Speaker 6 (02:15:28):
So if you are truly a career oriented person, you're
going to need to be a little more flexibility on
those kinds of things.

Speaker 2 (02:15:33):
No doubt about it. I was laughing because the market
conditions and the demand for labor was a huge not
that long ago, and we of course had it's extremely
low unemployment numbers United autoworkers. We're able to leverage that
to their advantage and negotiate a huge, huge increase in
their pay and benefits. And I noted that Stilantis just

(02:15:53):
laid off about twenty five hundred of those newly minted
salary increase folks. And that's the reality of what's one
On the autobile industry. They're laying off people who make
internal combustion engines because the because of the EV mandates.

Speaker 3 (02:16:06):
So yeah, and the big industries like that.

Speaker 6 (02:16:08):
Employers get employees get treated a lot like just any
kind of other raw material rights just in time delivery
of human labor, just like steel or coal or anything else.

Speaker 3 (02:16:19):
Well, isn't it funny?

Speaker 2 (02:16:20):
I mentioned Starbucks without consulting the article first before I
mentioned in the last segment, Starbucks said that last week
that traffic to its shops has slumped, especially among customers
who weren't regulars. According to the CEO there hm hmm.
Challenging consumer environment, flexible spending right discretionary spending. That's what
people tend to do.

Speaker 6 (02:16:39):
We don't do as many of those things that you know,
when things slow down a little bit, we do tend
to pull back on those things we don't really need.
So yeah, just like you, just like Brian Thomas, a
lot of people are making coffee at home as opposed
to what they were doing in the past. And we've
seen that elsewhere too. Right, So McDonald's has brought back
some of the cheap items on their menu. These are
the first signs of what I think is this. This

(02:17:01):
is the death knell of the inflationary era that we're in.
Prices aren't going to go back to where they were, right,
We're not going to do that. That's not how things work.
But at the same time, I think we've reached the
point where even the profiteering part of the inflationary cycle,
where companies go, you know what, our costs went up
five percent, but I bet we can raise prices by
ten percent. Nobody's going to complain they were right. But

(02:17:21):
I think we're now seeing the pushback.

Speaker 2 (02:17:23):
Yeah, and you know that that has an impact, and
I think, you know, there may be something positive built
into this and I've joked about it before, but we
all know fast food's not good for us if it
gets priced out or we look at it and we say,
you know, I used to pay three dollars and now
it's eight dollars.

Speaker 1 (02:17:40):
I'm just not going to do it.

Speaker 2 (02:17:41):
And going back to your point about us making our
own coffee and maybe I'll just buy a pound of
hamburger and fry some up at home.

Speaker 6 (02:17:47):
It's not that tough, right, Yeah, and that's again your
house decision. Yeah, and hopefully we will see we will
see that. I hope it remains to be seen whether
people are really willing to take that step.

Speaker 3 (02:17:58):
But yeah, that would be that would be a nice
trade off.

Speaker 2 (02:18:01):
So the boiling this down is that you should expect
fewer concessions from the would be employers or current employers
in terms of whether or not you continue to do
remote work or have to come back into the office,
and getting more concessions from your employer maybe more difficult
in this more challenging environment kind.

Speaker 6 (02:18:19):
Of, Yeah, those are the most Obviously, you also might
be hearing about higher performance expectations. They might be coming
and saying, look, we need a little more, we need
more productivity.

Speaker 3 (02:18:27):
Out of this workforce we need.

Speaker 6 (02:18:28):
We just need more better work, better quality outcome, and
all those kinds of things. You also may hear your
employer be pushing you to pick up new skills. Rather
than going out and hiring a new employee. They may
want the existing employees to learn how to do new things.
You also could hear about potential pay cuts or possible
You might hear your employers start talking about, what we

(02:18:50):
think things are going to get a little stagnant for
a little while, so we need to cut here and there.
No more you know, no more coffee budget for you folks.
You got to pay for your own well.

Speaker 2 (02:18:58):
I guess in terms of making on more responsibilities, that
makes you indispensable to a company, or more so than
if you're someone who's unwilling to take on some new
roles and responsibilities. I mean, the idea is, you want
to become invaluable, you need to secure your job and
be willing to be that person who can be counted on,
especially if you're younger.

Speaker 6 (02:19:17):
Make make them notice that you're not there that day.
That is, that's the only way this isn't you know
In nineteen forty nineteen fifty, where all you had to
do was show up at the factory every day and
work hard and you'd have a pension. That's not how
it works anymore. You have to increase your net worth
by increasing your income, which means you got to know
your worth and increase your worth.

Speaker 3 (02:19:34):
Amen to that.

Speaker 2 (02:19:35):
And finally, I have to ask you this, and I
don't know if you've seen any figures. Over the course
of the pandemic and more and more people working remotely. Now,
I know my wife's productivity has gone up because she
no longer has forty five minutes on either side for
a commute, doesn't have to worry about or enjoy, as
the case may be, the chatter and the banter in
the office talking with friends over a cup of coffee

(02:19:56):
that reduces productivity. So in her experience, her productivity has
gone up. But generally speaking, have you seen any figures
on productivity for remote workers, because I know there's a
lot of concerns that people are just you know, faking
their you know, their mouse movement and buying one of
those mouse mover pieces of equipment you can get on
Amazon for a few bucks and not minding the store,

(02:20:16):
not doing their business, maybe getting you know, home, you know,
cleaning done or laundry done in lieu of actually working.
Have you seen any numbers about that productivity levels.

Speaker 6 (02:20:25):
I can't say specific numbers, Brian, but what I would
say from talking to clients who own companies and are
making these types of decisions, I can confidently say that
if it were pro beneficial, beneficial to productivity, then we'd
be leaning into it. We'd be looking for more ways
to be more flexible. So I got to say, if
I have to choose between are workers more productive when

(02:20:46):
working from home or are they more productive in the office,
I got to lean toward the office because no one's
talking about let's find more ways to keep people working
from home.

Speaker 2 (02:20:56):
Valid point. Plus, you need to FaceTime with the boss.
That helps your future and your career.

Speaker 6 (02:21:00):
Absolutely, And then again that's what it's all about, especially
for you younger folks.

Speaker 3 (02:21:04):
FaceTime is extremely important. Get out there and increase your worth.

Speaker 2 (02:21:07):
Brian James, appreciate all worth loading out every Monday for
a few segments. I always enjoy talking with you. I'll
bring it back next Monday for another edition of Monday Monday,
and between now and then, best of health you and
all your loved ones and the folks at.

Speaker 3 (02:21:16):
All Worth sounds good.

Speaker 2 (02:21:17):
We'll talk to you then, take care of my friend
eight thirty seven fifty five KRCD talk station and something.
I hope you never hear you have cancer. I heard
that from my doctor. Actually doctor is plural.

Speaker 3 (02:21:26):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:21:26):
Once you hear it once and you can't unring that bell,
you got cancer. What are you going to do about it?

Speaker 3 (02:21:30):
Well?

Speaker 2 (02:21:30):
I turned to OHC at the behest of my friend Joni,
who gave me a strong recommendation, Brian, just get in
touch with OHC. And I'm glad I did, because you know, here,
I'm coming up fast on four years cancer free. I
just pray that I make it to four years. You know,
it's a little every little bit counts. But that was
the treatment protocol they put me on and the here
I am and I'm glad that I was in their
care and you will be too. They surround you with

(02:21:52):
everything you need. They're always there with the latest and
leading edge treatments and clinical trials, bringing innovative treatment obents
to the options through their patient. They simply have one
approach that surround you with everything you need to focus
on beating cancer, which is what you and your family
are going to care about the most for more than
thirty five years. They have great cancer doctors there, so
I would recommend you put your health in their hands

(02:22:14):
or get a second opinion. You've already got an opinion.

Had Christopher smithment on the program earlier, as we do
every Monday at seven thirty doing the Smither vent so
always an enjoyable segment. I love talking to Christopher, and
of course started off acknowledging the passing Elmer Hensler, Cincinnati
business icon, an amazing, amazing guy with an amazing story.

Speaker 3 (02:22:56):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:22:56):
Christopher's of course talking about the virtues of education, and
I agree with him whole heartedly. It is the key
to a financial future and success. But if your guy
like Elmer Hensler, you drop out at eighth grade and
you hit the ground running. And that's what he did.
And basically the sausage king here in the city of Cincinnati.
He made the best product and bought out all of
his competitors over the years, ninety four years, and he

(02:23:19):
was at the top of his game all the way
up to the very end, just loving life all the
way to the end. So anybody who knows Elmer or
new rather Elmer, knows the kind of guy he was.
And I always respected Elmer for his candor. I just
guy did not pull a punch ever, and he of
course had a demonstrably superior product with his Queen City Sausage.

(02:23:41):
Never cheap in the product. Elmer Hensler, Rest in peace,
great guy. Anyhow, we're still we still don't know what
Kamala Harris is all about. I started the other the
Morning Show talking about that, and remember what she did
support because we know that, and we don't know where
she is is now. Her campaign website remains completely void

(02:24:04):
of anything by way of policy. Now she promises that
you know, in the coming weeks she's going to be
rolling this out. But we're getting very close to the
election in early voting, so wouldn't it be nice to
know what she's all about before you go ahead and
vote for her? And I don't know how it is.
I mean, we've got a couple of polls. Out of

(02:24:24):
these newer polls, she got slammed on social media. Okay,
here's a policy she could roll out right now. She said,
when I am president. This is on her ex Twitter post.
When I am president, it will be my day one
priority to fight to bring down prices. I will take
on big corporations and engage in illegal price gouging to

(02:24:46):
find that for me, would you please? I will take
on corporate landlords and unfairly raised rents on working families unfairly.
So you're gonna do a deep dive, case by case
analysis of that, In other words, interject due process into
the equation. How complicated would it be. Let's say she
thinks McDonald's price gouging big corporation price gouging. You're gonna
have to prove that. And what is illegal price gouging

(02:25:10):
in a free market where McDonald's is in competition with
literally every other burger chain on the planet. There's only
so much they can do. Corporate landlord's unfairly raising arounds
our working families. Yeah, well, and taking care of their
properties too. They don't do that much. And city Sinceinnat
has been reeling with that problem for decades. Now go
after a corporate landlord. They're out in some other city

(02:25:30):
or even country. It's tough to track them down. And
when you finally track them down, they just simply change
the corporate structure, transferring ownership to a different LLC, and
you get to start the process all over again. Good
luck with that. Imagine doing that on a case by
case basis. But the follow up point on social media was, well,
wait a second. If you're going to bring down prices

(02:25:53):
on day one, if you get elected president, you're already
vice president of the United States of America and effectively
president given where Joe Biden is in terms of the
cognitive ability, how about doing it now? That was such
a slow moving softball that everybody and his brother cracked
it out of the park. What has she been doing
for the last three and a half years. Facts don't why,
but apparently she does. Why wait until you're president to

(02:26:16):
make that happen? If you haven't done anything about it
so far. You won't start now. Another astute observer pointed out,
someone tell her she's in office now, why hasn't she
done any of this before?

Speaker 13 (02:26:27):
Now?

Speaker 2 (02:26:28):
Legitimate question. So you know it's with that background, No,
none of her own policy except what we know that
she has, you know, embraced previously. You know, Medicare for all,
green new Deal, defund the police, banning fracking. All of

(02:26:48):
this was her stated campaign pledge back in twenty twenty,
rather twenty nineteen or twenty twenty. And of course she's
been in office now for three and a half years.
You know what her policies are, the administration's policies, and
she's not moving away from them. And yet we have
two polls out Harris more trusted on US economy than

(02:27:11):
Trump according to the Financial Times, University of Michigan Raw School,
a business poll. And then you pivot over to this
New York Times seeing a college poll with the headlines
New York Times poll Harris leads Trump's in Trump in
three battleground states. I think the polls reflect a little
bit better landscape for Trump than the headlines reflect. But nonetheless,
I mean, considering everything we were talking about with Brian James,

(02:27:33):
credit card bills through the roof. People can't pay their bills.
Christopher Smitha was all over that subject matter this morning.
But poor families out there that can't afford groceries and
they've got to send their kids off to school. They're
struggling to afford you know, the basic necessities for a
kid to get in a school and go to school
each and every day. You know, clean clothes and the supplies.

(02:27:53):
Are you worse off now than you were four years ago?
And yet some people getting duped by this dodge, dip, duck,
dive and dodge strategy the Harris campaign is engaged in.
It was effective for Joe Biden. Are you going to
allow it to be effective for her? Five fifty five

(02:30:25):
to those two polls, which you know, I mean, I
know Kamala Harris is enjoying this honeymoon period, this sigh
of relief from all the Democrats who knew that Joe
Biden wasn't electable. But you know what she stands for
and what she's running on, and none of it, well,
at least we think what she's gonna run on. She

(02:30:46):
does have a record, which is what Trump and his
team should be focusing on. Someone gave Jad Vans huge
props earlier this morning about how he's able to stay
on focus, stay on message, and you know, and and
well get the message out about what the Trump team
stands for, what it is running on, and all the
terrible components of the Biden administration. Donald Trump of late,

(02:31:06):
you know, gets a lot of press form just calling
Kamala Harris names, and of course calling Timmy Timmy Wall's
names as well. And that's not what we need now.
Whether Trump is actually attending these events and actually talking
about policy to the extent he is, he's not getting
any credit for it in the mainstream media, nor should
anyone expect that to happen. But if he doesn't call names,

(02:31:27):
then they won't report on that component of what he's
messaging on. So that's my only criticism right now at
Trump is that he's got so much going for him
in terms of the economy and the record from the
Biden administration that he should be sticking with that. And
apparently Jade Vans is doing a good job of that
right now. But this New York Times Siena College, what
does it say when I asked the twenty four election

(02:31:49):
were held today, fifty percent of respondents in Wisconsin, Michigan,
and Pennsylvania going with Harris. Forty six are going with Trump.
How is this possible? According to the Don Levey, the
director of the Santa College Research Institute, it's a new
race across a Russbelt battleground state now the former president
Donald Trumps facing Harris instead of Biden. Harris has opened

(02:32:11):
up leads of four points in those states with strong
support from women, younger votes, Blacks, and those with college education.
Yet Trump continues to be seen by voters as better
on the economy, better on immigration, but by smaller margins
that he had over Biden. So, knowing nothing about what

(02:32:33):
Harris is actually running on, just merely substituting Harris for
Biden has given people some sort of I guess feeling
that Harris is going to do it better on those
those extraordinarily important issues, most notably immigration. How could you
score Harris better than Biden on an immigration unless you
want to lay the blame for him for putting the
responsibility in her hands. The other one Financial Times University

(02:32:57):
of Michigan Raw School a business poll, forty two percent
of voters say they trust Harris on the economy, compared
with forty one percent who go with Trump. Again the
numbers unchanged for Trump, Harris's standing jumped seven points on
that one, merely because she's not Joe Biden, even though
she hasn't articulated a different vision or path through the

(02:33:20):
future beyond what Biden has given us and she has
given us Americans still citing as inflation as their biggest concern.
Survey showed only nineteen percent of voters believe that they're
better off today than they were when Biden took office,
and you're saying the mere substitution to Harris makes things better.

(02:33:43):
Of those surveys, sixty percent said she should either break
completely from the president's economic policies or make major policy
changes to his platform, proving my point she hasn't articulated
different vision. At this point, we are only running on
what we know about her, which is the antithesis of
