55KRC Monday Show - Smitherman, Bernie Moreno, Money Monday

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It was getting ready for work at all day in
fault and check in throughout the day. Fifty five KRC
the talk station five o five. I think about KRC

(00:21):
the talk station and if you're wait for election.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Days, probably.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
This country is Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
One may come to that conclusion. Seems to be the
feeling of people on both sides of the political ledger
or across the political spectrum. Anyway, Happy Monday to hope
it is anyway. Brian Thomas right here, glad to be
thanks to Joe Strecker for guests lined up in the
morning show. Of course, it's Monday Smithman and Christopher Smith
and former vice man of the City of Sincenay with

(01:02):
the now newly appointed start time of seven twenty. He
used to be seven thirty, but he's been asking for
extra time.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
Give it to it.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Love talking to Christopher, so it's seven to twenty. Pardon me,
I'm I'll explain in a moment Christopher. At twenty after seven,
Barney Moreno his final opportunity to convince you why he
is a better candidate than the man we've been dealing
with now for the past nine thousand years. Shared Brown.
One of the most important races we have to control

(01:32):
the Senate. We need the Republican Party to take over
control the Senate. Otherwise you can just kiss it all goodbye.
They get rid of the filibuster sixty votes required a
pass legislation. You're going to see the left policies, including
packing the Supreme Court, as well as other leftist proposals

(01:54):
in order to change almost permanently, if not permanently, the
United States of America, this socialist utopia that they believe
can possibly exist. Burnham Morino Ato file will get it
for one segment Money Monday's Brian James. He's willing to
wait an extra fifteen minutes to start. We'll hear him
from him at a twenty FEDS pause. Are poised to

(02:14):
cut rates after the election. Got an article here about
more people are shoplifting and the thieves are not who
you think and Warren Buffett odd indication from Warren Buffett,
and you know, I'm not quite sure to make what
to make of this. Brian will of course give us

(02:35):
his take on that he's selling off his stocks.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Warren, I'm Berkshire Hathaway. Warren Buffett one of the most
successful and respected you know, market folks, out in the
world that has ever been is dumping his stocks. I
suspect that that means he thinks something bad is going
to happen, and I hope that's not the case regardless
of who wins the election. But those are the topics

(03:01):
we're going over with this morning with Brian James. Always
love hearing from you as your last opportunity to chime in.
Where do you think we are as we head on
into the election tomorrow? Five one, three, seven, four nine
fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two three Talk goes
pound five fifty on AT and T phones. One of
the polls that came out last couple of days, that
Iowa poll now has Kamala Harris ahead seriously and most

(03:25):
people are saying no, no, not possible. Trump was was
ahead for so long in the Iowa polls and now
magically a fifteen point swing or something along those lines,
now Kamala Harris is ahead by few. I'm a little
yeah datd and cynical regularly describes my attitude about most things,

(03:47):
but that one just really kind of put a bad
stench in my nose. But we do have the final polls.
This is this is it? What the final polls are saying,
Epoch Times doing good summary of it. The polls say
what they say regardless of the source of the information.
So we have multiple final polls released by a multiple

(04:08):
organizations New York Times, Siena College, Morning Consul, Rasmusen, ABC News, Atlas, Intel,
NBC News showing Harrison Trump neck and neck, although they
suggest the picture becomes a little murkier when you look
at the breakdown among swing states, which are of course
going to decide the election. So start with the Morning

(04:30):
Console poll. Final survey shows that Harris is a two
point leader for Trump nationally. Remember, national polls include the vast,
vast numbers of Democrats in really dark blue states yests.
Thank you Joe Strecker for putting a sharp point on that. Anyway,

(04:53):
while she may be ahead of them the Morning Console
poll by two points, Trump is ahead of Harrison North
Carolin one in Georgia, by two one, ahead in Wisconsin,
tied in Arizona, and tied in Pennsylvania. The only swing
state where the well Trump is trailing Michigan. They say
he's down by one. That's the Morning Console poll over

(05:15):
to NBC. Came out over the weekend showing Harris as
forty nine percent support among registered voters and a head
to head matchup Trump also forty nine percent. Two percent
say they don't know. Finally, released over the weekend, the
last New York Times opinion poll, Harris marginal leads in Nevada,

(05:37):
North Carolina, Wisconsin, Trump just ahead in Arizona, close races
in Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, according to the poll serveyed seven
thousand and seventy nine likely voters in the seven states
those over the period of time October twenty fourth and
November twod poll. That poll also shows Harris leading Trump

(05:58):
by three points in Nevada, two in North Carolina, two
in Wisconsin, and one in Georgia. Two candidates allegedly tied
in Pennsylvania Michigan. The survey shows Trump ahead by three
points in Arizona. Over to the ABC News Episodes poll
came out over the weekend as well, Harris forty nine

(06:19):
percent support Trump forty six. Final pulls from Rasniusen boasted
on the first shows Trump as a three point lead
over Harris. Final survey from Atlas Intell Trump had in
all swing states by one point to six and a

(06:39):
half points. The polster said he has significant margins over Harrison, Nevada,
and Arizona, and a model produced by poll analyst Nate
Silver he used to operate the five point thirty eight website,
he's given Trump a fifty three point eight percent chance
of winning over Harris at forty five point eight. Oh,

(07:00):
it takes some comfort in that, although contrasted with the
other ones who suggest Harris's ahead. See where we are
in polling. Gott to leave at the breakdown. And you know,
one of the things about the Iowa pull, if you
saw that and it freaked you out, well the pollster
didn't bother giving you the breakdown the demographics, how many
Democrats were surveyed versus how many Republicans and how many independents.

(07:20):
So there's not a whole lot of faith you can
give in that poll and kill of course they'd provide
that information. Maybe it'll analyze it under the appropriate analysis
that well, they always do in polls. So in terms
of early voting, as of yesterday morning, seventy five million
people already voted. More than forty one and a half

(07:41):
voted in person. And from what I heard over the weekend,
my wife was at the Hamilton County Board of Elections
handing out pink slips and it was packed. I heard
from Westside Jim Keefer too, he was there in the
morning and thousands of people apparently voted. I guess Saturday
they had record day, and I believe Sunday may have

(08:01):
surpassed that record. Lots and lots of folks voting in person.
Thirty four point seven million have returned mail in ballots
so far. Sixty seven million mail in ballots have also
been requested to date, so running out of time. TikTok,
TikTok to get the mail in ballots. I don't know
the rules for each and every state, but you know

(08:23):
there is a cutoff on that.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
See.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Of the two dozen states that report early voting by
party affiliation, Democrats have a slim one point seven percent
lead over registered Republicans, which in and of itself is
not real impressive, even though they have more because Republicans
typically didn't vote early. It's a new phenomenon. Every got
the word out, and of course people heeded the challenge

(08:49):
to get out and vote early. Book you're voting, put
it behind you. Some fourteen point six million Democrats have
cast early ballots, Republicans at thirteen point nine unaffiliated just
under ten million, and big question mark looming over the unaffiliated.
Those are the ones that are going to decide the election.
Which direction are they going to go for the fascism

(09:09):
and dictatorial realities of the Biden administration, Harris administration, Obama administration,
or perhaps lower taxes and a little bit more freedom
from the regulatory abuses we face with the Trump administration.
And I know people hate Trump for the man he is,
but look at the policies, the policies of what matters.

(09:33):
Arizona registered Republicans actually ahead of Democrats one hundred and
eighty thousand votes. Unaffiliated voters in Arizona make up twenty
six point seven percent of the total votes cast, huge
numbers of independents. More and more people are going unaffiliated,
and I certainly understand that if you got the left

(09:56):
wing of the Democratic Party representing the Democratic Party and
completely I don't know which wing of the Republican Party
is now dominating. Seems kind of a bit of a
mystery to me. It used to be you had this
whole evangelical, Christian conservative component of the Republican Party which
was used by the mainstream media to regularly describe the

(10:16):
Republican Party re at large. Since the abortion issues no
longer in play at a federal level, I don't know
how we described the Republican Party. They certainly haven't been
deficit hawks to the extent that I would wish they were.
So that's one big problem I personally have. But again,
if you're looking for a party of fewer regulations, more freedom,
lower taxes, I think the choice is absolutely clear, and

(10:40):
most notably on environmental policy as well. Least you have
you can bank the idea that Republicans are more willing
to provide us with energy independence and the Democrats by
a long shot. I got a couple of updates in
terms of what's going on in California. They got a
couple of propositions out in Washington State. Two people are
collectively saying, no, we need to put our foot down.

(11:03):
This energy policy crap is insane. We're all paying Hey, yeah,
Californias are paying fifty seven I'm sorry. California's energy rates
have risen fifty seven percent in five years. They pay
more than everybody and is absolutely driven by their anti

(11:26):
you know, carbon policies and their dictates and edicts and
mandates about you know, green new deal stuff, windmills, solar panels.
They're taking away the right of individuals to choose if
they want natural gas in their houses by making it
absolutely through regulations and fines and penalties or whatever, unaffordable
to run a gas line into a new home, making

(11:49):
housing far more expensive, which may be part of what
they actually want. You know, when you look at your leftist,
your Marxists, your socialist, they don't believe in private property generally,
and I think they're giddy with excitement about the idea
that nobody can afford a house anymore. Nova, Nevada Republicans

(12:10):
have a forty thousand vote lead in the early vote
total North Carolina. Days after voting open there, registered Republicans
had a slight lead over Democrats maintain that advantage as
of Sunday. According to the tracker, GOP voters have a
four or forty two thousand vote lead over Democrats in
North Carolina. It's one point seven million people voted early.

(12:36):
In Pennsylvania, Democrats have a four hundred thousand ballot lead
over Republicans. According to the tracker. Pennsylvania has about nine
million registered voters. It only reports mail in ballots, so
that figure related to mail le ins. So a strange landscape.
Choose to believe polls or not, and choose to believe

(12:57):
the ones that you like versus the one that you don't.
But many of the folks out there that think that
they're pushing for a fix, the Democrats, obviously, including with
the Department of Justice's assistants, doing everything they possibly can
to allow some shenanigans. They're the party of no voter
iet either are the party of not taking illegal non

(13:19):
illegal immigrants self identified. They're the party of not taking
them off of the ballot and denying them the right
to vote when they don't have the right to vote.
That's the law across the board. Democrats every single opportunity
that they can engage in to allow greater question marks,
more questions about the integrity to vote. That's what they

(13:41):
have been fighting for. Who wants election chaos after tomorrow?
I think the uh the conclusion is an easy one
to draw. It's five eighteen right now, love to hear

The big wireless companies want to limit you to two
choices when it comes to data, unlimited or unlimited, and
guess what both they're stupidly expensive. Now stop overpaying for
data that you're never ever going to use. That's like
paying for a pot of coffee when all you need
is a cup, or filling your entire truck bed full
of gas when you only need a tank. Now, with Puretalk,

(16:56):
my cell phone company, you get to choose how much
data that you actually you want and need. And for example,
for twenty five bucks a month, you'll get unlimited talk

Here it is your nine first morning weather forecasts. We've
got a mostly cloudy day to day turning to partly cloudy.
High seventy five overnight, partly cloudy sky is sixty one
for the low. Election day, partly cloudy late evening rain
is possibly, say just a chance, seventy eight for the
high over nine ten to fifty nine overcast and showers. Wednesday,

(18:01):
partly sunny, mostly cloudy night. Seventy degrees for the high
during the day see right now sixty four degrees at
the five Karasne Cox station five point twenty three here
fifty five Karosene Cox Station. Very happy Monday to you.
One more day, It's gonna all be over. Why do
I feel terrible about the whole thing? Well, the way

(18:25):
we get rid of all the political ads. This is
an article poor Pittsburgh. Say you what about Pittsburgh. My
wife a Pennsylvania native originally, so I'm not gonna diss Pittsburgh.
Apparently it's like they have seen more political ads in
Pittsburgh than any other place in the entire country. So

(18:45):
I'm sure the residence of the city of Pittsburgh would
be really pleased when it's over. For no other reason,
I have to get inundated with those ads all day long,
and real quick. Here I said it explained it. I
am not feeling one hundred percent, and the reason is
it'll be one week tomorrow. I started a keto diet,
and anybody out there has been in a keyto diet,
you ever heard a keto flu? Wow, your body really, really,

(19:10):
really has massive withdraw symptoms when you take away carbs
and sugar from it. So much so I haven't really
eaten more than like five hundred calories of the past
several days because nothing that I'm allowed to eat in
a keto diet even sounds appealing to me so much
so that I'd rather be hungry than force myself to
eat ano. A piece of bacon or a piece of

(19:31):
sausage or eggs or anything along in his lines. And
I'm doing it for two reasons. One because my wife
wants me to lose some weight, and more importantly, I'm
trying it as a mechanism to maybe stop the growth
of my cancer. So I've been a bunch of seen
too much of studies on that, and there's a lot
of different protocols out there, but a lot of them

(19:53):
insist that this keto diet, you're depriving the cancer of
sugar and energy, and since the cancer cells can so
much more energy than regular cells, if you can cut
off the supply of energy, you can shrink the cancers. Now,
whether it works or not, I'm hoping that it'll at
least achieve my weight laws goal. But let me tell you,
it is something that totally screws with your mind. Anybody

(20:16):
out there got some recommendations on how to cope with
a keyto diet and whether it's actually worth going through.
It's not fun first world problem, naturally, but if it
explains mine seemingly lethargic sounding voice today and the fact
that I am struggling with brain fog, there's your answer.

(20:36):
Five twenty five. Right now, I've got local stories coming up.
I hope you can stay right here.

Hey, good to hear from you.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
Brian.

Speaker 14 (23:32):
Hey, I voted yesterday and I got a free brand
new American flag. Guy was giving them out and it's
a nice one, new can. Mine was getting a bit pattered,
and I couldn't believe it. Man, he said, thanks for voting.
Gave me a brand new flag AMERICANSAG. I'm a flag person.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
That's beautiful.

Speaker 14 (23:53):
Oh yeah, it was great.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
I'll poly should.

Speaker 14 (23:55):
Ply, I'll get to my point, and man, what what what?

Speaker 15 (24:01):
Won't any of these people point out that we are
a Republic. Why is it not the even the talking heads,
all of them even it drives me insane there, brother,
I mean, why don't won't anybody point this out?

Speaker 14 (24:21):
I mean, there's a difference, There is a difference. I second,
I know in my second part, man, where is all
I'm here in Melbourne, Kentucky. Where's all these Mexican manner
all these things? And where okay, here's another one. Where
is all the swat team and these police? When you

(24:44):
see on TV, these these gangs from South America has
taken over the apartment buildings where senior cititizens live in.
I mean, and now my gerbils missing, my guineas.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Now I was waiting for that peanut the squirrel no longer.
That's because well, all the resources are being directed towards
sending ten armed squat I guess like individuals into residence
home to gather up a squirrel and a raccoon. I
think that story has made national news over and over

(25:17):
the past couple of days unconscionable. It is, of course,
we can all question the priorities of our authorities in
terms of what they choose to go after and what
they don't. Anyhow, back over to the local stories. Here
we go to Blue Ash. Two missing girls were found
and their mother arrested after a search for them led
by the Forest Park Police and an endangered child advisory

(25:39):
issued for the two young girls who were last seen
in Blue Ash. The advisory issued by the Forest Park
Police Department applied to the Hamilton, Butler, Claremont and Warren counties.
They were believed to be in danger. Girls taken by
their mother, Jasmine Coach and her boyfriend Antonio Gray, who
is the father of one of the girls. Coaching Gray
involved in a domestic violence disputed telling Blue Ash prior

(26:01):
to taking the girls just walk away, Joe, thank you
very much for the exclamation point. Since I please investigated
if the two people were shot in Mount Airy happened
yesterday afternoon, since I police confirmed that two people were
shot in the parking lot of the Kirby Apartments five
thousand block at Kirby Avenue two pm extended. The victims

(26:24):
victories injuries unknown at this time, no information regarding to
the suspect of this time, and wcpo's Max Schillen reporting
saying that they'll update it if they learn more. I
suppose if you don't anything about that crime stoppers the
number three five two thirty forty. UH let us see
here Goshen for two years after Goshen Township fire Station

(26:48):
eighteen was wrecked by a tornado, according to reporting, Friday,
officials finally broke ground to the news station's headquarters. Scotian
fire Chief Edward Myers, I'm sure he was at this.
It's huge, he said. Firefighters have been operating out of
cramp quarters in our temporary station. It's even cramped in
our other satellite station because it wasn't made to house

(27:08):
as many fireman's as is the right as it is
right now. Tornado hitd Gohost in July twenty two, top
speed one hundred and thirty miles an hour, massive damage.
Three people injured in connection with the storm. One hundred
and fifty buildings either destroyed or damage. UH, fire Chief Myers,
it's huge for the citizens of gosh In Township. In
Claremont County. It's important to have quick response times, so

(27:31):
this is going to make a lot of that a
lot more feasible. Claremont County Commissioners David Painter, Bonnie Bachelor,
Representative Jean Schmidt or to Trustees's chair, Dan Hodges, represented
from the Office of how Governor and more all in
attendance at the groundbreaking on Friday. Myers said Jean Schmid

(27:52):
played an integral role in securing the two point five
million in state funding from the latest budget to make
the rebuild possible. Multimillion dollar rebuilds Slater to finish by
the end of twenty twenty five. Prior structure dilapidated. Cruise
leveled it in the fall of twenty three to make
room for the new building, and just now, of course,

(28:15):
is the groundbreaking, so congratulations on at least the project
getting underway. Motorists who use southbound I Force seventy one
need to plan a hend for your commute this morning,
as the interstates remained closed until further notice due to
that fire under the Dan Carter Beard Bridge happened Friday
morning while we're here in the morning show, how A

(28:35):
Department of Transportation said drivers normally using IF seventy one
south to Kentucky should access I seventy one seventy five
south from various streets downtown and follow the Brent Spence
Bridge across the Ohio. For those going eastbound on Pete Roseway,
it's open to Egleson Street. However, motorists may want to
plan alternate routes through downtown to avoid congestion at the intersection.

(29:00):
Voters using riverside drive on the east side of the
bridge approach should reroute to downtown by way of Columbia Parkway.
Contractors for the High Department of Transportation are working on
the bridge approach that has been closed. Officialcy crews have
installed protective fencing around the area, and we'll work on
addressing utility issues as well as developing a design for repairs.

(29:22):
Crews also be swapping out barrels and other barricades to
re establish the work zone enclosures so that one is
seemingly going to be going on for a while. So

(31:54):
do it before we have the election, allie, those supposed tomorrow,
we can do that. And by all counts, the Hemln
County Board of Election was at least packed. I saw
some photographs in the Lion, out the door and around
the block and back and forth. It just it was
a well oiled machine. According to my wife, things moved
in and moved out pretty quickly. But lots and lots

(32:17):
of people early voting over to the stack is stupid.
Let's start in Florida, Florida. Man and a woman behind
bars after they allegedly attacked a man who wanted to
have sex while tied up on the beach. What corner
the problem cause affidavit The a quote frantic close quote.

(32:40):
Man flagged down of Alusa County Sheriff's deputy about eight
thirty pm Wednesday in the nineteen hundred block Ocean Shore,
bleeding heavily throughout his body. The man told a deputy
that he had been jumped by a man and woman
on the beach. He said he and a woman later
identified his eighteen year old Atlanta Cagle, agreed to come
to the beach where she would tie him up and

(33:03):
then have sex. Cago picked him up at his home.
There's no us I think you're right on this one.
Joe picked him up at his home. They drove to
buy Centennial Park, where they parked the car, walked to
the beach. He said. When they got to the beach,
he started to feel odd vibes from Cagle because she
was sitting about five feet away from him. Nonetheless, she

(33:26):
took out a yellow rope that she brought with her
and began to tie him up. At that point, the
victim saw another man approaching him, the Affidavid Cid. He
tried to untie himself, but Cagle jumped on top of
his legs. He was able to fight her off and
began to run away, but the other guy, later identified
his twenty four year old Wayne Streeter, tracked him down
and tackled them. Streeter allegedly began choking him while Cagle

(33:47):
punched him in the face. Accord to the deputies, Cago
then pulled out a hatchet and began with it, hitting
him with it all over his body. Victim, able to
fight out, both suspects ran to get help. He described
Caggle's vehicle, and the deputies pulled her over nearby with
a Streeter inside. Their allegie was also a backpack that

(34:08):
the victim had left behind. Deputies tried speaking with Caggle,
but she requested a lawyer post miranda. She told Dector's
that detectives that he and Caggle are boyfriend and girlfriend.
Streeter said that Cagle picked him up and they drove
to the beach, and then claimed she saw man he
didn't know Pushcaggle down to the beach and he went
to save her. Streeter said there were no weapons used,

(34:28):
but he went admitted to choking the victim. Thank you, Joe.
Deputies went to the beach where they found blood and
the yellow rope used the tie of the victim. He
suffered several lacerations and multiple long cuts to his abdomen.
Paramounts took him to the hospital where he was treated.
Cops arrested Cagle and Streeter on aggravated battery with a
deadly weapon charges. Both posted five thousand dollars bond five grand.

(34:58):
Seems her they're insufficient to me. All right, let's see here,
Harvard Memorial Church Student Program slater to host a reading
Tailor's Swift as Sacred Text event Do what the Hell

(35:19):
event organized by the Memorial Church Student Program Coordinator and
Multi Faith Engagement Fellow. Event description states, and I'll quote
what can reading the text that matter to us as
sacred tell us about ourselves and our lives discover a
new way to engage with the Taylor Swift canon that

(35:41):
honors the important emotional and spiritual role her work plays
in many people's lives. Bring your favorite Taylor Swift song
and we'll bring the sacred reading practices. Accord to the
RSV page, it states, the gathering is open to people
from all religions, ethical, and spiritual backgrounds.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Quote.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
We will be using latitio divinia, an ancient Christian monastic
reading practice, but the insights you gained from this practice
will not necessarily be connection with the Christian traditions or
religious in nature. Students invited and encouraged to bring insights
and wisdom from their own lives, traditions, and backgrounds. Oh wow,

(36:26):
Taylor Swift, the religion of Taylor Swift Tall. You remember
read anything about false tidols or something like that in
the Bible. It's in the back forty five. If I've
seen tungstation Foreign Exchange of the Rescue for your imported cars.

(36:47):
Just take you the foreign exchange, save money and enjoy
wonderful customer service and the benefit of having AC certified
mechanics working on your car men who have access to
your manufacturers technical information. And now the newest development for
an exchange. They service Tesla's. They've all been through the training.
So now you can take your Tesla into foreign exchange,

(37:08):
just the first ev that they're going to be servicing that.
I plan on expanding down the road for the meantime, though,
if you're a Tesla owner, you've got another place to
take it where. Yes, compared to the Tesla dealer, you're
going to save some money. It's the point of foreign exchange,
save any money, but you still get a full warranty
on parts and service. How do they do it? Well,
it is don't charge you as much in my German car.

(37:29):
I know that what the mechanics make over at the dealership. Ah.
I think that's where the insane price for my oil
change at four hundred and fifty bucks comes from. It's
about two hundred dollars less than foreign exchange. Just one
great illustration of the kind of money you can say
by taking it there. Westchester, that's where you should go.

(37:50):

get out and vote. It's like the entire republic is
hanging in the balance on this one, someone who knows
that more than anyone. Let's go to the phones to
hear what west Sie Jim has to say. Jim, thanks
for calling this morning. It's always a pleasure to hear

(39:42):
from you, my friend. Oh, no problem, Brian.

Speaker 18 (39:45):
Yeah, I've been doing this truck commander stuff for a
few years, as you know. And as we got out there,
I've never seen They started coming in and parking around
seven o'clock Saturday morning, and it was unbelievable. When I
got back there at say one fifteen, it was just

(40:06):
absolutely pandemonium.

Speaker 4 (40:09):
I mean they had.

Speaker 18 (40:10):
I'll bet you there was a dozen of fifteen twenty
maybe even cops directing people in traffic around that place.
And the lines that were coming out the doors, like
your wife said, down the block and around the building
was incredible. Now, people for the most part were civil.
They still had the two pens open and I had

(40:30):
to park back by these pens. Excuse my brawl to
my throat. But they I've never seen that many people.
I have never seen that many people at early voting
to begin with. There's usually not even a line, much
less something like this. And nobody looked real happy, but

(40:51):
they didn't, you know, there was no no cheering, no
no going on, and didn't look like anybody was talking
to each other. They just kind of stand there waiting
to get inside because they knew they had long wait.
But it was down the block. I mean, seriously, I
know you've been out the BOE. When you come out
the doors and then go down the block and then
around the corner and then another block, That's that's how

(41:14):
busy they were.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
Yeah, the longest line I've ever stood in at the
Board of Elections was just outside the building onto the
corner there. So the length yeah, the length of the
building was till the te get to the door was
as long. And I always said, you know, it moved
along quite quickly. But man, if I walked around the
corner and saw was that then down around the side
of the building, then back up the other side and

(41:36):
then down the other block, which is the way it
was described to me. And the photographs I've seen me like, man,
do I really want to put up with this? Am
I going to stick exactly?

Speaker 4 (41:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (41:45):
But you know, Saturday they hit a record of one
day of seventy two hundred people and I don't know
what it was yesterday with Sherry Poland was on the
on the news last night talking about how they've had
just a record turnout of over ninety five thou and
the previous turnout was like seventy some thousand people. So

(42:06):
ad in today and I think that you're going to
cross over one hundred thousand without a problem.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
On early voting, I guess the question is what do
we take away from this? Obviously Republicans are voting in
large numbers, are much earlier and earlier than they ever have.
They've got the message out, you know, early votings not
just for Democrats anymore. So you can't say in blue
Hamilton County, that's a bunch of Democrats coming out completely.
It's got to be a lot of Republicans.

Speaker 18 (42:33):
Well, the Democrats that have learned and heard the past
couple of weeks how those Republicans have changed their tune
and started coming out. So even the Democrats numbers have
to be up because that fact before this half of
them didn't probably vote and the other half, you know,
either voted at home or they voted the day.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
Of the election.

Speaker 18 (42:53):
I'm going to be working the polls tomorrow, so I'll
find out how busy the polic are tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
All right, Well, you can feel free.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Do we.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
Call into the morning show if you have the opportunity
in the morning. I'm just I don't know, how are
you feeling about the whole thing, Jim, you positive, negative
or kind of where I am just really in a
state of dismay, not knowing.

Speaker 4 (43:16):
Well.

Speaker 18 (43:16):
The Barbara streisand things from Joe are kind of the
way I feel.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
I feel like with you. I'm not a poll person.

Speaker 18 (43:25):
I come on, but thank you, but I don't believe
in polls for the most part, and that betting poll
has because I used to send you has been coming
closer and closer to the middle. But I think right
now the stuff that I've read, i've read where Donald
Trump will have a landslide. I haven't read that about Harris.

(43:47):
But I still think Donald Trump's going to pull this
thing out. Now that's just my personal opinion, but I
really think that there's.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
A hidden in the media.

Speaker 18 (43:56):
The media is scared to death that Donald Trump's going
to win, and they're just doing everything they can to
detract and tell people not to vote. Basically, if you're
a Republican, that this thing is over for the hair
as side, and I just don't believe that.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
Yeah, I don't believe that either, But then again, I
don't think that Donald Trump has it in the bag.
That means everyone listening to me right now, if you're
in favor of, you know, not going full on socialists
and saving our republic and you need to get out
and hold your nose even and vote for Donald Trump.

Speaker 18 (44:27):
Well, and I know a lady that, as a stout
Republican says she's going to vote down the whole ticket
but won't vote for Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
And I said, what are you kidding me?

Speaker 18 (44:37):
I said, you know, what choice.

Speaker 4 (44:39):
Do you have.

Speaker 18 (44:40):
You got a choice of two people, and you're going
to maybe let this other person get in because of
your feelings because you don't like the way he sounds,
or you don't like the way he talks. Come on,
give me a break, vote him in. And we got
to live with the policies for four years rather than
living with her for four years with the cackle.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
Well, more than the cackle, it's her. She's I go
back to where she was in twenty nineteen bandfracking DEEI woke,
defund the police, all that. It's it's part of her being.
She can't turn your back on who she has been
up until pretty much this moment in time, Jim, thanks.

Speaker 18 (45:16):
For telling everybody way, McBryan. She's telling everybody what they
want to hear right now. Yeah, and it's all on
towards the conservative side.

Speaker 13 (45:25):
But that's not what she is.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
Just like what you just said.

Speaker 18 (45:27):
But I will give a call in tomorrow morning when
I'll be at Saint William's hand it out paint copies.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
Thanks for your work, truck commander. I appreciate your calls
and your friendship.

Speaker 4 (45:36):

Speaker 2 (45:36):
We'll talk tomorrow five fifty seven fifty five kr C

get your call right out of the gate. You can
feel free to call as well. It's five fifty seven.
I'll be back after the news.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
Fifty five krc the talk station at six or six
here at fifty five krs the talk station. Happy Election Day, Eve.
I don't know how you're feeling about it. I'd love
to hear from you on the topic. Five one, three, seven, four, nine,
fifty eighty two to three Talk Pound five fifty on
AT and T phones. Of course, went over some of

(46:24):
the final polling information the last hour. Yes, I am.
I don't know about equally scaled the gold Jada and
Cinical when it comes to polling information. But for those
who think the fix is in the polls, tend to
reflect that Kamala Harris has kind of closed the gap
that has been existing now for quite some time. You
choose to believe it, whether you want or not. Although

(46:45):
in so far as that Iowa poll is concerned, I'd
throw that one right out the door, given the person
who did the pulser didn't provide anybody with any information
about the breakdown on it. So how Donald Trump goes
from plus fifteen to minus three, I'll let you decide
on that. Five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,
eight hundred eighty two to three talk pound five fifty

(47:07):
on AT and T phones. I got a caller online
as promised, CJA. Thanks for holding over the break, my friend.
Welcome back to the morning show.

Speaker 18 (47:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (47:15):
I got a number of comments about the polls, and
the first one is is I was watching a number
of people say last night, if that poll was real,
you would feel it all.

Speaker 4 (47:25):
Over the place, and I would.

Speaker 20 (47:26):
I look at a couple other things at this election.

Speaker 13 (47:29):
Who knows who's gonna win.

Speaker 20 (47:31):
But I do know this is that everybody's worried about
on the Democrat side, the inner city and the minority
vote is not showing up, and that is that is
a real concern for them. I saw Paul in California,
where Biden won in twenty twenty with sixty four percent
of the vote, and Harris is at fifty seven percent.

(47:53):
If that happens, there's a very easy chance that Trump
somehow wins a popular vote and loses the electoral college
vote as that vote get narrows down so much. But
the Republican issue is this is are they really losing
white women as much as they are according to the
polls in Nebraska to and Des Moines. And if he is,

(48:16):
I don't know if he can win the race if
there is at least eighty to ninety percent of the
minority vote showing up and watching all these commercials from Brown.
I had literally commercial full breaks of nothing but commercials
about I need to kill babies. That's what it felt like,
over and over and over and over again. And if

(48:39):
that is penetrating with white college women who are recently graduated,
this could be a bad night on Tuesday night.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
Well, I hear what you're saying, and it's anybody's guest.
In the ever growing larger share of independent voters is
a giant question mark, I think for everybody. CJ Fingers crossed.
Let's see what Joe Dieters has to say. Joe Dieters,
Welcome to the fifty five Cassy Morning Show. It's great
to hear from you this morning.

Speaker 4 (49:07):
Hey, Brian, how's it going there?

Speaker 2 (49:09):
Well, I don't tomorrow. I don't know. That's my problem, Joe.
I don't know. I'm afraid to be optimistic. I felt
optimistic there for about five minutes in time last week,
and other than that, I'd just been floating around and
just in bewilderment. I can't believe this is even a race, sir,

(49:29):
I honestly can't.

Speaker 21 (49:31):
Well, you know, it always narrows at the end. They
always they always say it titans. I don't know it's
you guys in the media, went better ratings or what.
I don't know what's going on. But I feel really
good about Ohio, Ohio. And as you know, Brian, Megan
Shanahan and Dan Hawkins and I are running for Supreme Court. Yes,
and we'll be on everybody's ballot tomorrow. I just want

(49:54):
to make sure your listeners get out and vote. This
is a critical my gosh, it's a critical race. Set
my personal interest aside. If we don't, if we lose
the Ohio Supreme Court, trust me on this, you lose everything.
Because they have demonstrated, the Dems have demonstrated that they

(50:17):
don't care who the legislature is, they don't care who
the governor is. But if they can control the courts,
they can do anything they want. And they and they've
proven that. Three years ago, we had a case out
of Hamilton County where a big murder case I've fled
to Las Vegas was apprehended sent back to Cincinnati. And

(50:42):
in that case, this Ohio Supreme Court ruled. And I
used to carry the decision around with me because it
was superposterous. The overse overturned over one hundred years of
Ohio jurisprudence. They said that judges may not shall not
consider the safety of the community.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
When they set up bail.

Speaker 21 (51:02):
Now, that is the most outrageous decision ever to come
from the Supreme Court. Megan Shanahan, Dan Hawkins, and I,
Dave Yost, the governor, all of us banded together. We
put together a constitutional amendment. That's the only way you
can get rid of a dumb Ohio Supreme Court decision.
It tasked with sixty seven percent of the vote where

(51:25):
people said where people said, you've got to consider safety
the community when he set a bail. So when the
opportunity came, I realized one vote in that Supreme Court
meant everything, and go to DeWine was kind enough to
appoint me. And now we have four Conservatives out of
seven on the Supreme Court, and if we lose one

(51:47):
of these seats, the thing shifts back. The Democrats are.

Speaker 4 (51:51):
Saying Ohio is the only.

Speaker 21 (51:54):
Supreme Court in the nation that they can take back,
which is it's kind of concerning.

Speaker 22 (52:00):
Itself, but it is, that's what they say.

Speaker 21 (52:02):
So we've been working hard. I just wanted to check
in with you, Brian. Thank you for your show. Make
sure your voters, her listeners vote tomorrow. That's the only
thing that can stop this express This what's going to
happen in Ohio tomorrow if people don't show up.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
Joe Dieter, Supreme Court Justice, I can't thank you enough
for calling this morning, reminding folks how important it is
since you held the office before we part company, any
comments about Melissa Powers and the importance of that election.

Speaker 21 (52:35):
You know, the hardest thing about this new job, Brian,
is I'm not allowed to be political. That is right,
I tell you, I can tell you, but I can
tell you in a personal note that office, if that office,
if it's not in the right hands is disastrous for
the community. You have seen what has happened. You know,

(52:58):
when I ran four years ago, George Soros stumped over
a million dollars into that race to beat me, and
he did it in fourteen other states, around fourteen other
cities around the country, and George Soros's group won twelve
out of fourteen races. I won, I survived in the

(53:19):
prosecutor and Phoenix survived. Soros won LA, Portland, Chicago, Atlanta,
and New York Baltimore. They won them all because people
don't pay attention. And once you lose that prosecutor's office
to somebody who won't enforce the law, who decides, you know,

(53:41):
like in San Francisco, we're not going to prosecute any
theft over one thousand dollars. So what happens, honestly, got truth.
People go into the stores with calculators to make sure
they're under the one thousand dollars limit when they steal.
And so CBS, guys, what with shocker. CBS take twenty

(54:01):
plus stores out of San Francisco because they can't survive
in that business atmosphere. People are in fear constantly, and
I just hope that doesn't happen in Cincinnati. I hope
people are smart enough to elect a prosecutor that follows
the law and does the right thing. I wish I

(54:22):
could endorse, I can't, but I hope. I hope your
listeners pay attention to who's running in those races and
votes the right way.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
And votes also for well the appropriate candidates for Supreme Court.
Joe Deaters one of them, you know. I'll tell you, Joe,
I've been happy with your work throughout the years politically.
I appreciate you calling them this morning, offering some sound advice,
and it is a pleasure to have you on the program.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow, my friend, and I.

Speaker 21 (54:50):
Hope Brian have faith. Brother, have faith, because the only
thing that can stop this is complacency, and I hope
people aren't complacent. I hope people take the time to
look at your phone. I mean, today in today's world,
look at your contact list of people that you know
that should be voting, and make sure it's just far

(55:12):
off a group text and say, hey, folks, don't forget
this is a big this is a I've heard it
every year, Brian, this is the most important election in
my lifetime. I really believe this is the most important
election of my lifetime for the United States, and I
hope everybody shows up and votes tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
Couldn't agree with you more, Joe Eaters. God bless you, sir.
Keep up the great world.

Speaker 21 (55:35):
Thanks, thanks, buddy.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
I appreciate the words of encouragement. I truly do, because
nobody needs more than me today six fifteen. If you've
have KCCY talk station, you can feel free to offer
your own words of encouragement or analysis. It's open mic

better way to bank. And how about right now, boost

Six twenty one Election DAE from Thomas right here. Open
the phone calls five one, three, seven nine fifty five hundred,
eight hundred eight two three talk, especially if you have
a new Supreme Court justice. I feel honored by getting
a call from Joe Deaters and some sound information on
that one. Let's go over to the phones right now
before I move on Greg's called Greg. Thanks for calling
this morning and welcome to the program.

Speaker 23 (58:33):
Good morning Mine from Panama City in Florida.

Speaker 2 (58:36):
Oh, welcome, I love. I got a lot of listeners
in Florida. It just makes me happy as I could
be to hear from out of state people. It just
it just tickles me to death. But I just I
know what the Internet is and I understand how it works.
It just still blows my mind when folks like New
Hampshire Gary calls or Mississippi James calls, and just anyway,
thanks very much for tuning in from Florida.

Speaker 23 (58:58):
Well, I moved down here from Cleveland about two years ago,
so it's a lot better.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
Obvious. Greg. Anyway, what's on your mind today, my friend?

Speaker 23 (59:15):
All that Cato saying now, is there sugar substitute or
no sugar at all or anything?

Speaker 2 (59:23):
Monk fruit? I believe there's a name for it, and
that's what I used yesterday. I think it did a
number on my stomach. It's not Stevie, it's something else.
It sounds it sounds like a chemical, but it's monk
fruit based. But it has zero carbs, it has zero
sugar in it. But it is in fact very comparable
to sugar in terms of quantity, Like a teaspoon of

(59:43):
this stuff pretty much equals a teaspoon of regular sugar.
Maybe not quite as sweet, but doesn't have that sickening,
you know, ten times the sweetness of sugar, kind of
artificial thing that that other sweeteners have. But I tried
it anyway, I made some lemonade out of that fresh
lemons and some of this monk fruit and powder, and
it tasted pretty good. But again, I think it wreaked
a havoc on my stomach.

Speaker 23 (01:00:05):
So I'm batting around the idea of that thing.

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
Well, just read read about it, and read about this
so called keto flu, which is what I'm struggling with
right now, since I'm in to be one week tomorrow.
They say the symptoms last for between a few days
and up to a couple of weeks. And I'm hoping
I'm in the former rather than the latter category because
it sucks. And yeah, I thinks I got a Facebook

(01:00:31):
message from Marsha who said, you pick the wrong week
to go on a keto diet. Considered the situations like,
I couldn't agree more so, anyway, I got two reasons
to do it. Hopefully it does influence my cancer for
the better, and hopefully it does make my wife happier
that I lose some weight.

Speaker 23 (01:00:48):
So well, that's a two for on that one or
three for and and prayers are for you on your
cancer thing.

Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
Thank you.

Speaker 23 (01:00:58):
Also talking about the Pull, Rasmussen is the one I
watched the most because he goes through a deep dive
on everything and he saw yesterday's the Mind's Pull and
he just laughed. Yeah, there's no way in hell that
happened at the twall point swing.

Speaker 24 (01:01:18):
And total alphabet.

Speaker 19 (01:01:20):
If that was happening, you.

Speaker 23 (01:01:22):
Would have heard all sorts of alarm belts way before
this check came out with that pole.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
Well, you know there's that. And then when you see
that left wing media organizations, most notably I believe there
was some commentators on CNN also throwing a Barber Streis
and flag on it, then you know that that's not
a reliable poll when up pollster won't really reveal the
waiting how many Democrats versus how many Republicans are they

(01:01:47):
registered voters? Are they not? What the number of independence is.
You know, when you don't get anything like that, how
can you put any confidence in the poll. So I
threw that one out. But then again, I look over
the landscape of all the other ones which I went
through at the outset of the show, and apparently the
gap is tightening, at least among the national pollsters. I
don't understand it. I don't get it. But then again,

(01:02:09):
there's this, like I call a Pavlovian response. You mentioned
Donald Trump among half of Americans, and they lose their
collective minds. Even though the last coming up on four
years have been demonstrably terrible for the United States, You're
going to vote for a Kamala Harris in a continuation
of this left wing socialist nonsense, just because you have

(01:02:30):
a disdain for Donald Trump the person. Look at the
policies and vote policy, don't vote character. I realize we
have a weird choice here. Lesser of two evils Donald
Trump demonstrably lesser of two evils, and in fact, there's
some good, solid reasons to vote for him. Look at
his record into the four years he was presidency, in

(01:02:53):
spite of the onslaught that he faced throughout the entire time.
You know, I would suggest that illustrate that you know,
in spite of your problems with him, he is a
man of character. He can stand up to that. Who
among us could handle that. There are people won't even
get into a political conversation for fear of having to

(01:03:14):
you know, Oh my god, it's going to end up
in an argument. Someone's gonna hate me. Man. He has
been beaten around the head and shoulders constantly, and he
keeps standing back up and fighting back again. I think
that an illustration of solid character. But don't forget the
down ballot races. As Joe Deeters pointed out, we got
some really really important down ballot races. Bernie Marina is

(01:03:37):
going to join the program today at eight o five
to talk about that. Although I don't view a US
Senator as much of a down ballot raise. It's six
twenty six right now. Feel free to call out local
stories in Lilia phone calls. But first st word for

radical and extreme, and they've never wanted to focus on it.
Donald Trump is mean and he's bad, and so they
have not been doing as well as they can and
they just they have now just settled on fascist. They
have settled on Nazi, they have settled on racist. They

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
Six thirty one fifty five KRC DE Talk station, A
very happy Monday to you get out and vote one
more day. And I have to ask out loud before
I get to RJ. Thank you for calling ar JB Well,
hold on one moment. Let we get this out of
my system. Because the I four seventy one bridge closure
as a result of a fire in the park beneath it.
Noticed that it rained that day. At least my recollection

(01:08:23):
was that the ground was a little bit moist. Anyway,
someone it was reported that the malts just what spontaneously
caught on fire? What is it like a drummer from
spinal tap or something. No one has suggested arson yet
I'm saying it out loud because I have my suspicions.
How does a fire that large just happen? Anyway, Moving on, RJ.

(01:08:47):
Thanks for indulging me while I got that out of
my system. Welcome to the Morning Show.

Speaker 19 (01:08:51):
Hello, Brian bo I got on there quick.

Speaker 2 (01:08:56):
Yees, sir, be there, Yeah, waiting for you. Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 19 (01:08:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 25 (01:08:59):
I was talking to you're a screener a little bitter
earlier about the fact that in fact I have I
know you were talking earlier about encouraging people to vote
and to vote early, and also to communicate with their
friends and relatives about voting for particular candidates. I sent

(01:09:23):
some emails out to about seven or eight my family members.
My family's pretty much lives in Cleveland, and I sent
some emails out He's made some phone calls, didn't get
much response. In fact, when I spoke to my mother,
who I had sent an email to, she kind.

Speaker 16 (01:09:44):
Of like, uh, like like it's.

Speaker 13 (01:09:48):
It's like, oh, you can't, you can't talk to people about.

Speaker 4 (01:09:50):
That those things. See.

Speaker 19 (01:09:52):
Yeah, yeah, I'm encouraging people to vote for Bernie Marino
for senator. Honestly, if I ask people a voute for
Trump and my family, they're going to get angry. And
I think he's gonna win Ohio anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
That's the thing that built in anger response. They've been
working on this now for like six years, so that
your media, right, Donald Trump, Oh my god, I can't
talk about talking about really seriously. I mean, we're adults
here for God.

Speaker 19 (01:10:23):
But it's like they don't want they It's like they
don't want you to talk talk about politics with them
and any discussion. You know, maybe there are people that
want to reach that that are open to that discussion,
but I don't know who they are. So I'm making
a general email to send the people. And also I
did make a few phone calls to see if they

(01:10:45):
have read my email, and I got a I got
a couple of my nieces that responded back to me
and said, yeah, we saw that both.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
Why would they want to go on record because someone
might have a record of them saying that they're going
to vote conservative and oh my god, that's going to
put them on some kind of terrorist watch list, right
are Jay?

Speaker 4 (01:11:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 19 (01:11:12):
So I sent two emails. I sent one out on
October seventh suggesting people to vote for Bernie Marino and
indicating his policies, and then I said another one about
it on October the seventeenth, saying I have voted last week,
and I would encourage you to vote for Bernie Dorino

(01:11:34):
and this is why you shouldn't vote for Sherek Brown.
These are his policies and he had actually been a senator,
and these are not things that you would typically like.
So here I have indicated my reasons. Good, and that's
about all I can do.

Speaker 2 (01:11:52):
But you did something. The important thing is you reached
out and you tried. And if everyone did that at
the risk of alienating someone who is a blood relative
and might just decide to cut ties with the over politics,
that's just yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:12:07):
But do it.

Speaker 19 (01:12:08):
And maybe they've listened. I don't know, you know, maybe
they're maybe they've listened. But they but they're not they're
not anxious to get back to me about it.

Speaker 14 (01:12:15):
It's like, okay, well, you.

Speaker 19 (01:12:17):
Know, we don't want we don't want to know that
you're talking to us about this, So I.

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
Don't I know, I do know, r You know.

Speaker 19 (01:12:26):
After this week I'm most to go home for Thanksgiving.

Speaker 13 (01:12:29):
It's too late that.

Speaker 4 (01:12:31):
Yeah, collection's over.

Speaker 2 (01:12:33):
Well hopefully so people people.

Speaker 19 (01:12:35):
Can tolerate me bothering. I'm once every four years for
about two weeks. I don't think that's too much to
ask my family.

Speaker 2 (01:12:44):
No, it's not. And if everybody acted like RJ and
just reached out to maybe six, eight, ten how many
people and just tried. You know, if you don't try,
you don't know if it's going to make a difference.
But by at least trying, you know, someone may say,
oh there's no way, and fine that there's no way,
try or not. But if you try, you may flip someone.

(01:13:04):
You may get them to think about it. I mean,
you know, consider my position. I talk about this every
single day Monday through Friday for four hours, and every
time I'm with people out and about, we're talking politics.
You know what, it's a wonderful thing. It hasn't impacted me.
I mean, if someone wants to draw a conclusion that
they hate me because of my discussion about politics, my

(01:13:26):
endeavors to be logical and reasonable about politics, my concern
over things like the monetary and fiscal situation in our country.
That's a problem whether you're a Democrat or Republican. We
spend too much damn money in federal government, and you
can't tell me that's not the case. And we're paying
almost a trillion dollars in debt service. That's a fact.
And whatever you want from government, that right there stands

(01:13:48):
in the way of what you're trying to accomplish. So
wouldn't you want someone who's maybe a little more fiscally responsible.
And sadly Donald Trump didn't demonstrate as much fiscal responsible
as I would one, But at least to you, you've
got a bar to compare it to. And that's the
last three and a half, coming up on four years
with Biden and Harris, and what it's done from an
inflationary standpoint, and what it has done in terms of
eroding your freedoms and liberties, your choices. One of the

(01:14:11):
great illustrations of erosion of your choice is everyone wants
most of everybody. I know that's broadbrush, but the vast
majority of Americans won an internal combustion engine. They can't
sell the evs. The only reason they're on a lot
is because of government mandates and edicts on carbon emissions.
It's just insane. Who's taking away your freedoms and liberties?

(01:14:33):
Ask yourself that question, and then hold your nose and
vote for Trump, who got rid of a lot of
regulations while he was in public office. Six thirty eight

daughter as the illustration of that. That's the one that I
actually have in front of me. Are twelve? Are twelve? Nope,
that just does not cut it. That's what was put
in the home when it was built late seventies, mid seventies,
early seventies. Nothing would have been in the walls. So
in both cases you need an inspection. If you're under insulated.

Nicky Haley Wall Street Journal. She's basically an open letter
to everybody. I think she makes some valid points. Say
what you want about Nicki Haley.

Speaker 4 (01:17:38):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
She appreciates that we do have a choice here and
that Donald Trump is a better choice, pointing out at
the outset. And millions of people love Donald Trump and
millions of people hate him. Each group's going to vote accordingly.
But there are also millions whose views on Trump are mixed.
They like much of what he did as president, and
agree with most of his policies, but they dislike his
tone and can't condone his excesses, such as, for example,

(01:18:02):
conduct on January sixth, twenty twenty one. Although I disagree
with her on that conclusion because he didn't do anything
that wasn't within his rights of free speech. But beyond that,
this third group of Americans will determine whether the former
president returns to the White House. To that group, I
Niggi HELI. You'll point out that Trump isn't the only
one of the bout. This election isn't a referendum on him.

(01:18:22):
It's a choice between him and Kamala Harris. I don't
agree with mister Trump one hundred percent of the time,
but I do agree with him most of the time.
I disagree with Miss Harris nearly all of the time.
That makes this an easy call. Here are the facts
most relevant to me, Nikki Helly. Americans today, on average,
face some thirteen thousand dollars in higher annual costs than

(01:18:44):
they did four years ago. Prices are nearly everything, food, gasoline,
utility bills, insurance have gone up, and this is the
direct result of the Biden Harris agenda, which stoked inflation
and stuck families with the bill. Americans are stuck with
another bill too, the national debt. It's reached nearly thirty
six trillion, thanks in part to Miss Harris tie breaking
votes on the grossly misnamed American Rescue, Planned and Inflation

(01:19:09):
Reduction Act. Despite its title, the latter is still boosting inflation.
Its estimated price tag has more than doubled since Biden
signed it, and it's found funding prints projects that are
largely stalled, as President Harris will make America's fiscal crisis
even worse. Then there's a national security The Biden Harris

(01:19:31):
agenda has made the world far more dangerous. Our southern
border is our most pressing security threat. Mister Biden and
Miss Harris have made it dramatically worse. The debacle in
Afghanistan not only created a new terrorist state, it also
signaled weakness that sparked Russia's war against Ukraine. Their appeasement
of Iran has enriched that despotic regime and emboldened it

(01:19:52):
to pursue war with Israel through its terrorist proxies. In
the administration's weakness towards China has done nothing to impede
the Communist p ours expansion at our expense. This is
the world that Biden Harris failures have given us for
the for in the last four short years. Trump administration
would be different. It wouldn't be perfect, But I agree

(01:20:13):
with mister Trump that we need to keep taxes low
and cut them more. I agree that we need to
roll back trillions of dollars in special interest handouts. I
agree that we need to expand American energy to empower
our families and job creators while making us less dependent
on foreign energy. It might, i Brian Thomas interjet to
make the prices of our electricity lower. Yes, I agree

(01:20:37):
with mister Trump that Americans should be strong, far stronger
than we are today. When he was president, Russia did
and invade another country around was on its heels trying
to receive serious pushback from for the first time in decades,
and our southern border was more secure. The world is
unsafe under Biden Harris, and we shouldn't expect that to
change under a Harris administration. These are enormous difference that

(01:21:00):
will affect the lives of every American and much of
the world. Will mister Trump do some things I don't
like in the second term. I'm sure he will. If
that was the question before voters, then I imagine mister
Trump would lose. But that isn't the question in any election.
No politician gets everything right. For those of us clear

(01:21:23):
eyed enough to see mister Trump's flaws and honest enough
to acknowledge him, the question is whether we're better off
with his policies or his opponents on taxes, spending, inflation, immigration, energy,
and national security. The candidates are miles apart. Mister Trump
is clearly the better choice. Excellent points from a woman

ultimately result in your house burning down. It's get the
Chimneycare fireplace and stove over there. It starts with a
video camera inspection. They could determine that you have water

Speaker 2 (01:24:14):
Station coming up on six fifty three fifty five KR
City Talk Station. Considering that, let's go straight to the phones.
Thanks you to Nick for holding over the break there. Nick,
Welcome to the fifty five KRC Morning Show.

Speaker 22 (01:24:28):
Thanks Brian. I just want to say for anybody who
still thinks you're about politics. It's timeless account. Democrats, minos
and their allies have borrowed trillions of dollars in your
name and they're spending it to destroy your country and
your freedom on endless wars, abortions, other violent times, environmental
and energy hoaxes, manufactured racial hatred, and drug and child trafficking.

(01:24:52):
They censor what you're reading here, and they're working to
take your guns away in Ohio. Their issue one would
make your right to vote almost worthles. They will continue
on of this until you stop them. But you don't
need to take a bullet or spend a billion of
ye round dollars like Donald Trump has done. You just
need to go them on vote and did time and

(01:25:13):
by the best you can.

Speaker 2 (01:25:14):
Nick Well stated, man, you've been working on that for
a while. It sounds like something to me.

Speaker 22 (01:25:20):
It's like I've been thinking about that a bit.

Speaker 2 (01:25:27):
Well it it's like a closing argument.

Speaker 4 (01:25:29):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:25:30):
That was really good. Thank you, thanks for towing to
the program and sharing your thoughts. I have no argument
with any of them. That's good. Real quick here. I
saw this on Zero Head Dictator. Because everybody says Trump's
going to be dictator. Come on, gonna take away the
democracy to stake here, even though we live in a republic.

(01:25:52):
Here all the times did Harrison Biden administration did exactly
what used you served power from other branches ago government
to enact their own version of what they wanted, in
spite of the fact that this wasn't approved by the rest.
Harris Biden administration extended the eviction moratorium after COVID abusing
their emergency powers at the expensive well private property rights.

(01:26:13):
They use vaccine vaccine mandates for workers because their patients
had run thin. This was struck down by the courts
as unconstitutional. Our constitution gives a legislative branch power to
pass laws. The administration was not able to cancel student
loan debt by getting Congress to voter to Bible to
do so. So Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did exactly
that out of fiat. They did this after the Supreme

(01:26:34):
Court said it was unconstitutional. Twice in violation of our
First Amendment. They tried to enact a disinformation governing board.
A sense of your free speech. Going back to this
last caller's point, Ultimately, the public backlash so great that
they scrapped the project at least for now to executive
FIAT and death by regulation. They have up and our

(01:26:54):
energy policies, making our emergency oil reserves drop to the
lowest they've been since nineteen eighty four. They killed the
Keystone Pipeline. They divide court ruins and continue to opt
out against holding oil drilling sales. They threatened course social
media companies to silence the speech of American citizen because
they didn't agree with the position of the government that
violated the First Amendment. Thement administration this one has absolutely

(01:27:17):
zero respect for property rights and publicly announced that they
pledged to protect thirty percent of land and water by
twenty thirty. Call it a land grab. Very dictatorial. They've
purposely ignored our immigration laws, allowing thirteen plus million people
into the country, willfully fail into uphold deportation orders by
letting them lapse. They've failed to secure our border and

(01:27:37):
have allowed four hundred and twenty five thousand known or
suspected criminals into the country. They've targeted parents were protesting
at their children's school board meetings and violation of the
First Amendment rights of free speech, and have had FBI
place them on a watch list if targeted pro life
demonstrators and thrown them in prison while letting pro abortion

(01:27:58):
activists burn down clinics. Executive branch had to faithfully execute
the laws without bias. They failed to do that, and
finally they were not able to pass any legislation in
Congress to force their transgender agenda into the school system,
so they passed it by executive fiat, and the court
struck down much of that at least at this point.

(01:28:19):
There you have it. Remember when Donald Trump did all that?
Oh that's right, you don't because he did in six
fifty six, coming in six fifty seven. Christopher Smitheman in
the Smith event at seven twenty. We had some time
between now and then. We can stick around.

Fifty five krs the talk station.

Speaker 2 (01:29:11):
Seven six Here at fifty five air seed de talk
station Happy trying to make it any way, Ay Monday
now feeling real happy myself, and I apologize it really
has loss to do with the election, and I had
mentioned this earlier in the program. I'm just trying to
explain myself for feeling the way I do. I started
at Keto diet a week ago tomorrow, and that so
called keto flu kicked in over the weekend. I've walked

(01:29:34):
around in a daze fatigue. I couldn't eat anything that
was supposedly keito friendly. It just nothing appealed to me.
So as one of my listeners was reaching out to me,
said he's been through it himself. He's fighting cancer as well,
and that's one of the reasons I'm trying this out
because of the effect sugar has on cancer cell growth
and that plus I wanted to lose weight. So by
saying it out loud, I'm hoping my out loud words

(01:29:56):
will encourage me to stick this out as I get
through this downside part health benefits. You know, you can
make your own arguments against it, but at least I'm
trying to give it a shot. So if I sound
a little down, don't think it's because I'm disheartened or
believe that the fix is in, although many people believe
it is. Most recent polling started out this morning talking

(01:30:18):
about that show the race is tightening, and of course
the Iowa poll can be completely disregarded. Hell when you
have mainstream left wing media outlets also pointing out that
there was nothing reliable about that one and a fifteen
point swing to Harris over the past couple of weeks. Yeah,
I'm not buying into that nonsense. But most all the

(01:30:38):
other polling does show the race tightening, and you can
believe it if you want, maybe just many you know,
I get this all the time for my conspiracy theorist
or pattern observer friends. Poles tighten. It justifies perhaps some
Shenanigans that they might be able to get away with. Well,
look at the polling. This shouldn't be surprising to you,

(01:30:59):
as the Department of Justice busily works to try to
undermine the efforts that many states have gone through to
ensure the integrity of the election. Just happened yesterday. Pennsylvania
Supreme Court had decided with the Republican Party about this
mail in ballot dispute. I can't believe this has even
gone on. Pennsylvania Supreme Court just shut down and efforts

(01:31:19):
to allow mail in ballots that did not have a
handwritten date to be counted in the election. This ruling
overturns a decision from the Commonwealth Court finding that the
state law requiring state law on the books requires handwritten data.
They said was unconstitutional. So the Pennsylvania GFP appealed to

(01:31:40):
rule into the State Supreme Court and now undated mail
in ballots will not be counted, which is what the
state law requires. That they even went to court on
this is kind of weird, and you know what, the judge,
Kevin Dharty, Justice actually admonished the Commonwealth courts for even
having to go through the process. Quote, this court will
neither pose nor countenance substantial alterations to existing laws and

(01:32:06):
procedures during the penancey e of an ongoing election. We
said those carefully chosen words only weeks ago, yet they
apparently were not heard by the Commonwealth Court, the very
court where the bulk of election litigation unfolds. The Justice
wrote today's order, which I joined rights the ship and
sends a loud message to all courts in this Commonwealth

(01:32:31):
and declaring we would not countenance substantial alterations to existing
laws and procedures during the penance even ongoing election. We
said what we meant, and we meant what he said
or what we said that strong language from the Supreme Court.

(01:32:53):
After the ruling, RNC Chairman Michael Wattley said, you know,
the Pennsylvania Supreme Court upheld of the law, upheld the law,
and the dated ballot requirement will be in effect for
our election. The Democrats have repeatedly tried to eliminate this
important ballot safeguard and we have to stopped them each time.
We are committed to protecting critical ballot safeguards to ensure
every ballot is cast and counted properly, and will continue

(01:33:15):
to fight across Pennsylvania to protect the vote. So you
got there. The law says what it says, and this
isn't COVID nineteen lockdown, a stereo time where Pennsylvania was
one of the most egregious states for literally changing voting
laws without legislative action. I think I railed about that
one more than any other state than engaged in that practice.

(01:33:39):
Who's trying to cheat? Crazy and who's trying to cover
a record? Comin Harris doing the five age of dodgeball
since she was anointed to take over for Joe Biden,
who was so far behind the polls they knew the
writing was on the wall. There was nothing they could

(01:33:59):
do except get rid of Joe Biden and throw Kamala
Harris in the mix. So the other day she wouldn't
say how she voted on the Keep ballot measure in
the state of California, which would reverse criminal justice reforms
that have been approved, those reforms which of course decriminalized
basically shoplifting up the nine hundred and fifty bucks justice.

(01:34:22):
Joe Dieters called the program earlier to point that out,
not about Kamala Harrison where she is on this particular provision.
But you know what, if you lose the Supreme Court
to a bunch of leftists, this is the kind of
thing that comes about. And if you lose a tough
on crime prosecutor, I will fill in the blank because
he's not allowed to endorse. Vote for Melissa Powers here

(01:34:42):
in Hamilton County anyway, when asked about the ballot initiative, nah,
she said, well, just the other day, she said she
had filled out her mail in ballot and was on
its way, and it was on its way to California
meanings she had cast a vote, so they asked her
about this particular provision which would reverse the decriminalization of

(01:35:02):
crime in California. Am I boiled down version of what
it means? Her statement, I'm not going to talk about
the vote on that, because honestly, it's the Sunday before
the election, and I don't intend to create an endorsement
one way or another around it. Really, really, you won't

(01:35:24):
admit how you voted on that particular piece of legislation,
even though you were all about that kind of thing,
defunding the police and you know, funding bailout organizations and
the like, getting rid of crime. Because it was somehow
racist to prosecute people for ripping off stores, Why wouldn't
you say out loud where you are on that, maybe

(01:35:45):
you could just sort of backpel in an effort to
appeal to more conservative minded folks out there, and even
people in your own state who've been dealing with runaway,
rampant crime. The decriminalization, refusal to prosecute drug abusers and users,
and of course this decriminalization of act actual outright theft
if it was bad for California, and this initiative has legs.

(01:36:07):
Maybe you could use your nova or your yes vote
on reform to serve as an illustration that you are
in fact tough on crime. But I think we can
all draw easily a conclusion that that is not the
way she voted, and she likes the status quo in California,
which is will criminal activity run a muck? Proposition thirty

(01:36:27):
six is what we're talking about here. If it would pass,
it will make the crime of shoplifting a felony for
repeat offenders, and increased penalties for some drug charges, including
those involving fentanyl. Would also give judges the authority to
order people with multiple drug charges to get treatment. That
is a valuable component that here in Hamilton County. You know,

(01:36:49):
you can choose drug court. You can choose to go
through treatment, or you can get prosecuted and go to jail.
You got a choice here. Isn't it better to get
people into treatment and therefore off this constant battle with
addiction by getting some good services that will help people
beat the addiction or at least give them a leg

(01:37:09):
up in doing so. You gotta try, or they're going
to be addicted for the rest of their lives until,
of course, the fentanyl finally kills them now. Opponents of this,
including Democratic state leaders, presumably Kamala Harris, social justice groups,
that the proposal would disproportionately imprison poor people and those
with substance used rather than target ring leaders who hire

(01:37:31):
large groups of people to steal goods for them to
resell online. Those ring leaders wouldn't be there if you
didn't decriminalize the theft of things nine hundred and fifty
dollars in the less, you've created the opportunity for well
organized crime. Yes, and they will take advantage of people
on drugs and poor people to their advantage people who

(01:37:52):
might not otherwise rip off stores because well, they're now
organized and they've made it well financially viable to actually
steal things. Because the criminal organizations then take the things
from the people who stole them, drug abusers and people
on lives margins and sell them themselves, as opposed to
forcing those on the front lines that go out and

(01:38:13):
figure out a way to peddle them in the streets.
This is the reality of stupid policy. So they tried it,
and now they're trying to unring the bell. Why because
it didn't work, Which has been happening all across the
left wing states and cities who have well defunded the
police and you know, haven't been prosecuting criminals. They see

(01:38:34):
their cities going to hell in a handbasket, and so
you like, look at Washington State doing the same thing,
trying to unring the bell. They tried it, so you
can say, well, give them props for trying anyway, but
we've come to the realization that those efforts were absolutely
an epic failure and we are all more miserable because
of its shops of clothes businesses as have left. There

(01:38:56):
are fewer job opportunities for people on the front, you know,
like folks who don't have education is to get their
leg up and start with the job. Sorry, those businesses
have closed, and then when you throw inflation on top
of it, it makes it even more challenging, most notably
for well cities that have gone to hell in a
handbasket to even stay open. Kamala Harris won't let you
know where she is on that issue, which allows me

(01:39:18):
to conclude that she's against Prop. Thirty six and the
reforms that will bring back some measure of sanity to
that I feel sorry for that state of many levels
seven sixteen Right now forty five cast the talk station.
Christopher Smithman joins the program next for the smith Event,
former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, And here's
a strong recommendation. You need a mortgage. You buying a house,

(01:39:40):
you want to buy a house, you want to refinance
some credit into your pocket. You want to get a
reverse mortgage. Not my thing, but you know what, if
you're in a position where you think that's the right
thing for all mortgage related issues, you need to get
in touch with my friends who's at Low's of Camp
with Cross Country Mortgage. First off, you couldn't find a
person better at customer service. She's a sweet person, she's
fun to work with. She's quick about getting it through

(01:40:02):
the process. I can point to my daughter who took
her dad's advice and called Susette for her mortgage issues.
She got a mortgage in like two days, or financing
within a couple of days. They close, and they're happily
moving along with their lives. She and Eric, it's a
beautiful thing to behold. We were out there visiting them yesterday. Veterans,
you can get one hundred percent of your home value
with no monthly mortgage insurance. That's one of the programs

(01:40:22):
that Susette knows all about. In terms of where you
are located, people in Puerto Rico and every state in
the United States can benefit from the personal service that
Susette will give you and you'll be glad you got
in touch with her. So everywhere anywhere, Susette loves the
CAMP as the answer to your mortgage related questions. No
junk fees, no app fees, great rates at a low cost,

Seven one Here fifty five KRC DE Talk Station. A
very happy Monday if you try to make it so anyway,
Huge day tomorrow. Terming the future of the country tomorrow
and someone who I love having on the fifty five
KRCY Morning Show consider himself a I consider him a
dear friend. I always appreciate his sage, wisdom and his outlook.
And he is the former vice mayor of the City

(01:41:38):
of Cincinnati. Christopher smitheman for the Monday Morning Smith event. Christopher,
welcome back to the program, Grandpa. I think that's so cool, Grandpa.

Speaker 13 (01:41:49):
Grandpa Man. It's exciting, and I'm so happy for my
oldest son. I love watching him grow every single week,
like understanding what Pamela and I went through.

Speaker 4 (01:41:59):
Yeah him.

Speaker 13 (01:42:00):
So he's going to be a wonderful father and he's
a wonderful husband. And I'm very excited. I am excited
about the race tomorrow, and I hope to give my
best closing argument around a few things and so that
you know voters who are out there, who are going
to be showing up to the polls, like over in
Sailor Park here in Cincinnati, one of our fifty two

(01:42:21):
great neighborhoods. But it's kind of like the Dow Jones
being Sailor Park is the S and P five hundred,
that Russell two thousand. You know, they really give me
kind of a heartbeat on what direction this election is
going in. So it's gonna be very interesting when I'm
talking to voters tomorrow. But here's a couple of things
I want to dive into the lies of the weekend

(01:42:43):
now again, I don't want someone to listen to this
and say, O, Smitherman's on one side or the other.
Look at me as a referee during the most exciting
soccer game of your life. And I'm watching the game
and I'm throwing right now a red card. Red cart
was the mainstream media saying that former Donald Trump tried

(01:43:06):
to say he was going to assassinate Liz Cheney. They
spent the entire weekend promoting this narrative. All I did
is went and listened to what he said, and what
he said was in a nutshell is Look, I'm not
a warmonger, but she is right, and her father is.

(01:43:26):
And here's the bottom line. They won't send themselves to war,
nor will they send their own kids, and so guns
will be pointing at them. They don't have the courage
for that. So guess what, I'm not going to send
the sons and daughters of Americans to war and that's
it's critical. Now, he didn't say it the way I
said it, but that's the context of what he was
talking about. He didn't say he was going to kill

(01:43:49):
Liz Cheney, but the mainstream media spent the weekend saying
that over and over again. We is just a lie.
They get a rit card.

Speaker 2 (01:44:02):
Absolutely, And you know what was really revealing to me,
and I know my listeners know that some years ago
Drudger Report, which used to be a rather conservative leaning
news web dumb site, went all full on liberal. The
headlines in bold caps on the page I believe it
was on Friday, was Trump suggests executing Liz Cheney. I

(01:44:23):
mean was worse. I mean that direct, and he didn't
even suggest any remotely close to that. And yet that's
the way the words got twisted into that argument that
was made over the weekend. It was ridiculous. And again
I'll point out there were even left wing organizations and outlets.
I know that the ones that tend to echo that
comment more and more, but there are even many of

(01:44:44):
them said no, no, no, no, just read what he wrote,
read what he said, or listen to what he said,
and he not suggests Liz Cheney should be executed. Desperate
times call for desperate actions, and maybe Christopher, we can
take some comfort in the idea that they have fallen
back on, rather than arguing policy, rather than arguing we're
better off now than we were four years ago, rather

(01:45:04):
than looking at the economic and practical reality of where
we are now. That name calling fascism, you know, racism,
they just added a bunch of extra that going along
with racist, misogynist, xenophoab homophobe.

Speaker 3 (01:45:17):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (01:45:19):
And they added on he wants to kill people. So
you know you're smart enough to see through that.

Speaker 13 (01:45:25):
Yes, And part of the theme right when you listen
to polls, and I listen to Supreme Court justice soon
to be again Joe Dieters, who I support and I
hope people will vote for him along with Melissa Powers
for Hamilton County Prosecutor. The jury box is in and
tomorrow's vote. Listen, if you call somebody who really supports

(01:45:49):
this is just anecdotally, but if you call somebody who
really supports former President Donald Trump because of what the
mainstream media has done, meaning even when the former president
was almost assassinated, and then the attempted assassination, and then
the loggate regarding his property, and then the prosecution in

(01:46:11):
Manhattan thirty five felonies. The Supreme Court has really thrown
the case out. But if you're a supporter of former
President Donald Trump, you really don't support the government. You
don't trust the government that you have some cloud. So
if somebody calls up a poster said somebody's doing a
poll and they say, hey, man, I want to know

(01:46:33):
how you're going to vote, most likely that person is
going to hang the damn phone up. They're not going
to answer the question. So my point to your listening
audience is that don't really listen to polls in this
election because those people who really support former Donald Trump
have been pushed into the dark corner. They called him hitler,

(01:46:54):
they said that he's a fascist. My point is their
neighbors don't like them to concerned about being fired from
their jobs. They're not out there saying they support him.
At is my point, and I'm sharing with you the
polls are not going to capture what I just described.
Brian Thomas, You're right, not going to capture.

Speaker 2 (01:47:14):
You're right, yeah, And I will comment for a pause
and take a break here, Christopher. Many of the polls
I saw over the weekend, from the final ones that
came out, talked about the response rate and the number
they reach out they call people, and then the percentage
of people who actually answer the question. If I recall
the number correctly, one of them was like two point
nine percent. One of them was like three and change.

(01:47:36):
So you call one hundred people and only three people
actually respond to the poll, you got a problem on
your hands in terms of reliability, that's for sure. And
you are onto something in so far as people actually
out loud supporting Trump, they've been demonized and that means
you get thrown into the category of nazi. Yeah, I
can see how that might induce someone to keep their
mouth shut more with Christopher Smith, aman, pause and let

(01:47:59):
me strongly encourage you continue. Christopher.

Speaker 13 (01:48:03):
Well, look, brother, there's a race tomorrow, There's a local election,
and I just want to give a shout out before
I continue to move forward with my with my vent
and just really respect to all the people that have
put their names on the ballot out there. Uh, Brian
Thomas and and are running for office. But we have
Orlando Sonza who's running for Congress. A good guy. Uh

(01:48:28):
went to West Point, so did his wife, father husband.

Speaker 4 (01:48:34):
Uh.

Speaker 13 (01:48:34):
Smart person.

Speaker 2 (01:48:37):
Prosecutor. I mean his record is phenomenal.

Speaker 13 (01:48:42):
It is, and the and the hope is that Warren Cally,
which is a part of his district. Just to be specific,
if they can hear me really hammer this this race hard.
And if they do, uh, they'll pull them over. Joe
Dieters obviously for the Supreme Court. I've seen a lot
of nonsense out there in his race. I've worked very

(01:49:03):
closely with him for decades when I was the president
of the Cincinnati and Double ACP always fair, always gave
us an opportunity to express ourselves to him, and that's
why you know he was a great prosecutor. But he
also was hard on crime. And there were times that
the Cincinnion Double ACP went to Joe Deats and said,
we want life. He just took this person, took somebody's

(01:49:26):
life in one of our fifty two neighborhoods, and our
families are advocating a hard punishment, and Joe Dieters was
willing uh to do that. Jim Neil, who was running
for sheriff and and great person great wife, you know,
raising two beautiful boys. If you ever went by his

(01:49:47):
home and Sailor Park, you know that this was the
kind of guy you would want running the sheriff's office.
He's not polished with every speech he gives, but that
that's what makes him authentic to me, is why I
trust him being the sheriff. He's just not out there
this this everyday politician that's you know, throwing all these
big words around. He's a good guy and I think

(01:50:09):
we should give him the nod. And then, of course
I want to say Melissa Powers. Look if we if
we lose Melissa Powers, of I'm not exaggerating the counties
in trouble. We we've got to have law and order
and we've got to have somebody that's not going to
play politics with that office. We've seen what has happened
in Manhattan, New York. Prosecutors can go rogue. We've seen

(01:50:32):
what's happened and Georgia. We don't want that kind of
uh political political politicization of the prosecutor's office. And why
I've supported and continue to support Melissa Powers. But I
can say I can give a lot of candidates out
I think the key thing to say here in closing
is when you go in and you vote for president,

(01:50:52):
a lot of people are drawn to the polls, vote
down the entire ballot. Don't just vote for president and
walk out. Don't do what you see these TV shows
that are telling you to not speak to your spouse,
lie to your spouse. I've never seen something so crazy
where the liberals over on the West Coast are running

(01:51:13):
TV ads in the Midwest advocating that their spouse lie
to each other. That's why the divorce rate is sixty
or seventy percent. That's why on the West Coast they've
been married four and five different times, because they would
run a commercial on my TV until a woman or
a man married, or a partner or anybody that's in

(01:51:38):
a relationship to say, I want you to go out
and lie to your partner about your political persuasion. What
kind of craziness is that. Brian Thommons at a partner
of my vent this morning.

Speaker 2 (01:51:49):
And that's a reflection of what they believe about marriage.
I mean, if you can't have just a calm discussion
on the merits of one candidate or another, even if
you're on different sides of the political Ledger, I don't
know what your marriage is built on. If you, I
mean seriously, you're gonna let politics come in the way
of a marriage, a sacred vow, a commitment for life together,

(01:52:12):
for better and for worse. And tomorrow maybe one of
the worst days, but you're supposed to deal with it
and at least be able to talk about it. You're right, man, Lie,
go ahead, Lie. That's gonna get you real far in
terms of the longevity of a marriage. Let's bring Christopher back.
It's already seven thirty seven. I fifty five care see
the talk station. Plumb tight? Plumbing? Is plumbing done?

Speaker 13 (01:52:31):
Rue?

Speaker 2 (01:52:32):
Ifty five care? See the talk station continuing our time
with former Vice mayor of the city since St. Christopher
Smith and the Smith Event. Glad to have you around
on a Monday. Christopher makes a day go better and
I always appreciate your comments. So what else is on
your mind?

Speaker 13 (01:52:46):
Well, it's really about just crashing the polls tomorrow. You know,
the majority of votes, even though early voting has happened,
You know, most citizens are going to cast or vote
tomorrow starting at six thirty am across this country. And
what's most alarming in all of that and that is
not true for Hamilton County. I got to give a
shout out to the Hamilton County Board of Elections. I

(01:53:08):
don't care how many people show up there, and I
listen to my good friend and yours, Jim Key for talk,
and I don't care how how long the lines are,
or how many people voted in person are, how many
ballots were sent from the military or other places. Guess what,
Hamilton County knows how to count votes and that we
will have our results on the election day. And it's
been amazing to listen to the governor of Pennsylvania already

(01:53:31):
send out, well, man, we don't really count vote, so
we don't start county early voting until until we close
the polls, and we don't know whether we're going to
have a result back. These are the kinds of things
that undermine our elections. It's not the people, it's the
it's the process. And so it's amazing to me that

(01:53:53):
you know every four years we have a presidential election,
you know that this elle election is going to be
the most expensive election in the history of the United States,
and you tell me that your board of Elections of
your local local community is not ready and is not
prepared to count the votes and give the results on

(01:54:16):
the same day. Is absolutely shameful, and so I'm going
to watch this. I think that we will get a
result because I don't think the map is going to
look like where the posters are saying the map is
going to go. Actually, I think things like the hurricane
are going to impact the elections in North Carolina. I
think that Lake and Riley's murder by someone who is

(01:54:40):
in this country illegal in Georgia has woke up many
Georgia voters. I think that places like Michigan where you
have the Israeli Palestinian not Palestinian, but the Israeli Harmas War.
But you have the largest population of Middle Eastern people
that live in Dearborn, Michigan, and they voted for the

(01:55:01):
Democrats and the last election. I think they're very, very
concerned about what's happening in this war. They want the
war to end, and I think you're going to see
Michigan really be very very tight based on that. My
point to you is that conversations around cracking are going
to impact Pennsylvania just like the war, just like what's

(01:55:21):
happening with the border, and just like the conversations you
and I have been having about inflation. That's really what's
on the ballot. It's not you as my white brother,
which you are my white brother, me being your black brother,
which is what this most devicest elections attempted to do
is separate us on race so that we don't look

(01:55:42):
at the public policy that impacts our households every day.
We have to go in and vote with a clear
mind tomorrow that it's about the policy, it's about the future,
it's about your household, it's about your neighborhood. It's about
having men swimming in pools with your daughter, it's about
men being in the locker rooms with your daughters. I

(01:56:04):
support the LGBTQ plus community. My son is gay, but
that doesn't mean that I want a transgender person swimming
with my daughter in a pools. And that is on
the ballot tomorrow. And my point is that if they
if we get confused, which is what many of these
candidates want us to do, and make me look at you,
my neighbor, as my enemy just because of your race,

(01:56:27):
they will win the ballot. They will win the ballot
box tomorrow. Focus on the issues that are impacting your life,
and I tell you we will get a great result
tomorrow across all of the United States of America and
specifically in Hamilton County.

Speaker 23 (01:56:41):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:56:41):
I love the passion in your voice, Christopher, I truly do.
And you know you're speaking truth. Man. It's the content
of one's character, not the color of one's skin. You know,
you can get along with anybody of any race as
long as you're not just well a racist. And they've
certainly stirred the pot of racial division in this country
for so long. I mean, go back to the Obama administration.
I just don't understand it. I really don't. We've made

(01:57:03):
so much progress in the area of racial relations, and
so much so that I think anyone of my generation,
at least up until recently, with younger people, who have
been taken over by this idea that we're just a
profoundly irredeemable society and culture that didn't exist not that
long ago. I think we all played it well quite
and played together quite nicely. And look on to the

(01:57:25):
Trump administration. The highest or the highest employment rate for
the African American black community, the lowest unemployment rate that
they've seen. I think in history. That's a plus. That's
an absolute positive.

Speaker 13 (01:57:40):
All of those things are positive. But look on the
issue of immigration. Okay, people come here every single day
the right way, They follow a process, and they are concerned,
meaning those who have come to the country legally, are
concerned about what's happening on the southern border. They're not

(01:58:03):
focused on a comedian who made an off colored comment
at a rally. That's very different than the President of
the United States of America saying that half of America
is garbage. Please do not conflate the two. They're very different.

(01:58:25):
That's what's so alarming where mainstream media rises a comedian
to the level to say this person is the same
as the president of the United States of America and
they aren't. Brian Thomas, half of America is in garbage
and the other half is in garbage. I meaning those
who support the vice president are not bad people. I

(01:58:48):
don't look at them as my enemy. I don't think
anybody should think that the vice president, in my opinion,
is this horrible, bambastic person, just like anybody who is
supporting former President Trump. All I'm saying is for the
in my closing argument for the election tomorrow, and again,
like I said voters over in Sallor Park, in one

(01:59:08):
of our fifty two neighborhoods here in Cincinnati, is focused
on the damn issues, meaning you want to go in
and buy a stake and be able to afford it,
or buy some chicken and be able to afford it,
or buy some eggs and milk. You want to be
able to send your kid to a good school, whether
it's a preschool, whether it's a grade school or a
high school. You want to be able to have a

(01:59:29):
good public system, public school system that works for you. Right.
You want a police department that is solid that you
don't have people saying defund the police department or reimagine
the police department, like my friend Greg Landsman said when
he served with me on city council and is now
running for Congress against Alonzo Sanza. You don't want that

(01:59:53):
kind of stuff out there because that's what keeps us safe.
And you certainly don't want someone who makes comments about capitalists,
which I am, or says things like go to another
rally when someone talks about Jesus Christ. All of these things,
in my opinion, matter when you go and vote tomorrow.
It's not about these wedge issues that mean nothing. Brian

(02:00:14):
Thomas in closing, you are my brother, right your family,
you know you are my sisters. I'm saying to you
as people, let's focus on the issues as Americans and
not let them divide us.

Speaker 4 (02:00:26):
Up.

Speaker 13 (02:00:27):
Vote for Joe Dieters. I appreciated him dancing on the
top of a pen as he described the importance of
the prosecutor's office. I can endorse Melissa Powers. I endorse
her people out there who think that what I'm saying
makes sense. Whether you're a Democrat or an independent like
I am, or whether you're a Republican. Please vote for
Melissa Powers. Jim Neal and uh tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (02:00:52):
Thank you brother, family, and love you brother Grandpa for you.
It's seven fifty right now, fifty five k CD talk station.
We're gonna hear from Bernie Morainer after the top of
the our news and something else we should factor into
the equation the importance of the Senate rate race. Who

(02:01:13):
controls the Senate controls the AIGHTO four here, fifty five
kr CD talk station. Brion Thomas pleased to welcome one
more time to make his case on why he is
a superior candidate over shared Brown. Welcome back to the
fifty five Case Morning Show, Bernie Moreno, it is indeed
a pleasure to have you back on the show, sir,
welcome back, and I must observe and I'll let you
handle this as you see fit, Bernie. But shared Brown

(02:01:36):
seems to have been spending the last couple of months
plus minus however long it's been running away from his
own record and trying to convince the voters here in
Ohio that he is something that he is not. He
is as far liberal as anybody in the Democrat Party,
and yet he's trying to make a case that he's not.
Obviously he's on the wrong side of policies and positions. Bernie.

Speaker 26 (02:01:56):
Well, Brian, you're exactly right. And the reality is the
people of Ohio just aren't going to buy his bs anymore.

Speaker 4 (02:02:02):
You know the reality.

Speaker 26 (02:02:02):
You can imagine if a guy like Bernie Sanders or
Elizabeth Warren ran for Senate in Ohio, I mean, they
would be beaten eighty twenty.

Speaker 4 (02:02:11):
Sharon Brown is right there with him.

Speaker 26 (02:02:13):
He's just as liberal, if not more, than Elizabeth Warren
or Bernie Sanders. But he's been trying to pretend he's
a moderate his time is up. He's a tired old
commie and it's time for us to retire them. And
the people of Ohio get to do that tomorrow. And
if the people of Ohio fire Share Brown, I get
to fire Chuck Schumer.

Speaker 2 (02:02:32):
And one of the things, and I'm sure you'll back
me on this one that we need to keep in mind,
is we need to get you, Bernie Marino elected to
the Senate because the balance of the Senate determines what
gets voted on. You know, the Senate majority leader is
going to be directing the legislation that gets voted on.
And we've seen what's been happening of late under the
current administration.

Speaker 4 (02:02:53):
Yeah. Absolutely.

Speaker 26 (02:02:53):
If you want a secure border, you're going to vote
for me. If you want an open border, you're going
to vote for Sharon Brown. If you want to give
citizenship to all these illegals, you're going to vote for
Sharon Brown. If you want to deport them, you're going
to vote for me. If you want to make certain
that this country becomes an energy superpower that means coal,
natural gas, oil, nuclear, then you're going to vote for me.
If you want the Green New Deal, you want to

(02:03:14):
get rid of your gas stove, drive an electric scooter
to work every day. Then Sharon Brown's your guy. If
you want peace, instability around the world, the end to
all these endless wars, then you're going to vote for me.
If you want instability, if you want endless wars, you
want to send hundreds of billions of dollars to foreign countries,
Sharon Brown's your guy.

Speaker 2 (02:03:35):
Well, and most recently, as we know, the distinction between
the Trump administration demonstrably hard on Iran. Sanctions were working,
they were back on their heels. Now they're threatening to
use perhaps nuclear warheads against Israel. I found that to
be just absolutely beyond troubling. Is we're talking World War
three kind of stuff here, and that's only happened over

(02:03:55):
the past three and a half, coming up on four years.

Speaker 4 (02:03:59):
Yeah. Absolutely.

Speaker 26 (02:03:59):
I mean President Trump, like Ronald Reagan, was about peace
through strength. Sharre Brown, Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden are
war because of weakness. And what you've seen is again
not just the Middle East. The reason Ukraine was invaded
by Russia was because of American weakness from Joe Biden.
To withdrawal from Afghanistan was a disaster. Kamala Harris was
asked if she would have done anything differently than Joe Biden.

(02:04:23):
She said, nothing comes to mind. I mean, she wouldn't
have even said, Hey, we shouldn't have allowed twelve to
fifteen million illegals in this country.

Speaker 4 (02:04:29):
We shouldn't have done the withdrawal from Afghanistan that led
to the death of.

Speaker 26 (02:04:33):
Thirteen Americans, including Max Zoviac from Berlin Heights, Ohio. And
Shary Brown was right there voting with him one hundred
percent of the time when it mattered. In fact, Brian,
you won't even, you can't even and you can't even make.

Speaker 4 (02:04:45):
This up department. Shara Brown's closing.

Speaker 26 (02:04:47):
Argument to the people of Ohio is that if you want,
you reelect him so we can continue to send hundreds
of billions of dollars to foreign countries. That was his
pitch up in Cleveland today. It's just it's totally surreal
that these people don't understand that the job of an
American elected official is so look out for the interests
of America and Americans and nobody else.

Speaker 2 (02:05:10):
And the interest of American Americans includes the preparedness and
readiness of American military. And I have to be I'm
of the mind that these woke military policies and this
woke agenda that they've been shoving down soldiers' throats. Rather
than a cohesive collective you know, step and step military,

(02:05:32):
we have everybody divided by race and sexuality within the military.
That is exactly opposite of what we need. The numbers
in terms of recruiting are down precipitously. And to your
point about funding all these foreign wars, we are desperately
depleted in terms of our own military supplies like missiles
and the like, because we've sold them off to everybody else.

(02:05:52):
We can't even protect ourselves of this juncture. And well,
China is a bit of a problem in Taiwan, you know.

Speaker 13 (02:05:58):
Uh huhuh.

Speaker 26 (02:05:59):
Well, the reality is we have to rebuild our industrial capacity.
We've had decades of leadership that is guided the Midwest,
guided our industrial power and shipped it over to Mexico
and China, put it in and put us in grave
danger from a national security perspective, but also crushed a
lot of working class families, a lot of communities were devastated.

Speaker 4 (02:06:20):
By these decisions.

Speaker 26 (02:06:21):
We're going to turn the tide on that. That starts
with energy dominance, a good tax and regulatory policy for
companies that employ Americans. And in terms of the military, look,
we don't have a woke military. We have a woke
civilian leadership of that military. Point and one of the
key jobs in the United States Senate is that we're
in the personnel business. So we get to get rid

(02:06:42):
of all those civilians that are introducing all these idiotic
programs into our military. It's very simple. We want to
have the most lethal fighting force on the planet with
a diplomatic core that prevents wars and doesn't put us
into a situation where we have to use that lethal
fight force. That strength. That's absolutely peace through strength. That's

(02:07:04):
what we're going to restore. That's on the ballot tomorrow, Brian.
Everybody listening to this early voting is done. It's over
and ended yesterday. There's no voting today. The polls open
at six thirty am. You have thirteen hours to vote.
You need to go out there and cast your vote.
People have died to give you the right to vote.

(02:07:25):
You go out there and do it, and you vote
like this country depends on it, because it does.

Speaker 2 (02:07:29):
It most certainly does. And going back to your comments
about all across the board. Energy policy, which I fully embrace,
isn't an amazing thing to see California, the so called
greenest but yet most expensive state to live in terms
of paying for your energy bill. They're trying to get us,
the American taxpayers, see the federal government to reimburse them
to the hole that they've dug themselves in. It hasn't

(02:07:50):
work electric vehicles. This is something we do not want
as an American people. And yet they're forcing automobile companies
to well go billions of dollars in day we had
to support something that we're not going to buy. These
are piling up on the lots. This is what a
dictatorial government and an all controlling government does, and you're
offering an alternative solution to that. Bernie Moreno, Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 26 (02:08:13):
Look, as you know, I was in a retai automotive business.
I never had a client that came into the showroom
and asked me what kind of car share Brown thought
they should buy. It's their money, it's your money. You
get to decide whatever Darren car you want to buy.
And Sharre Brown is all in for this evy madness.

Speaker 4 (02:08:29):
Which is crazy. It doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 26 (02:08:31):
Again, let the consumers decide, get the government completely out
of the way. Sharon Brown also voted for the American
Rescue Plan, which is actually misnamed. It was the California
Massachusetts in California, I'm sorry, New York Rescue Plan. We
bailed out those budgets. They were billions of dollars in
the hole in California and New York. The US taxpayer,

(02:08:53):
the people of Ohio bailed them out, and now Sharon
Brown wants to do that again. You know, they have
mismanaged their states the point of bankruptcy almost and we
keep bailing them out. Look, they've got to go out
there and realize that if they want to have all
these idiotic policies, then the people of that state are
going to pay the price until they replace their leaders.
And that's what we got to do. And Ohio shouldn't

(02:09:14):
be bailing out California. That's what Sharon Brown wants exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:09:17):
And I know it's one of the lesser issues in
terms of the amount of time dedicated to the media
ab out of it. I have always been in favor
of the idea of parents allowing the choice when it
comes to their children's education. And I know you want
to empower parents to make education choices. I don't see
how that bears a political stripe.

Speaker 26 (02:09:36):
Bernie, Well, let's be honest. School choice exists in America.
It's just for wealthy people. It doesn't exist for everybody else,
which is a total travesty. The reality is Sharon Brown
is supported by the teachers' unions.

Speaker 4 (02:09:49):
He actually had.

Speaker 26 (02:09:50):
Randy Weingarten campaigning with him in Ohio. No woman has
done more to damage education in America than Randy Winingarten.

Speaker 4 (02:09:58):
She's the one that.

Speaker 26 (02:09:59):
Forced us to have schools closed during COVID, which set
us back a generation. So look, the reality is parents
need to be in charge of their kids' education with
schools that actually function properly that they don't, parents get
to leave that school and send their kids to whatever
school's going to do the best for them.

Speaker 4 (02:10:16):
That's what I'm a big believer in.

Speaker 26 (02:10:18):
We're going to get the federal government out of education
block grant all that money to the states to allow
states to do what they need to do to empower
parents and local communities to make educational choices for their kids.
That's what we're going to get done. I am very
optimistic Brian that we're going to get this country back
on track because the American people are just sick and

(02:10:39):
tired of being treated like garbage.

Speaker 4 (02:10:40):
You heard Joe Biden call us that.

Speaker 26 (02:10:42):
Well, it makes sense because that's what we've been treated
like for not just for the last four years, but
for decades, and this election is a rejection of that.
It puts people, the citizens, back in charge of their government.

Speaker 2 (02:10:53):
Well, going back, as we've get in part company here,
Barney Moreno, going back to the initial point, which was
shared Brown, running from his record, you illustrate a great
point in so far as the presidential campaign is concerned.
Kamala Harris is completely running away from everything she stood
for back in twenty nineteen when she was well trying
to become president. And this has just become a simple

(02:11:13):
question of the Democrats calling Republicans' names, degrading them, demeaning them.
And that means, in my estimation, they have nothing to
run on by way of accomplishment. They can't hold anything
out that's been done over the past three plus years
to run on. So this is all a race about
evil Orange man.

Speaker 26 (02:11:34):
Well, you're way too nice because you're saying they're running
away from the positions. They're just flat out lying. You're
just too nice to say that way. They are just
total on complete liars. If you've noticed, of the hundreds
of millions of dollars of TV ads run in this race,
Sharon Brown hasn't done one ad where he says he
disagrees with me on policies. He doesn't say he disagrees

(02:11:56):
with me that we shoul have a secure border, that
we're pro immigration but pro invasion, that we should have
American energy dominance, that we che have security around the world.
He won't attack me from my policies because he knows
of the right policies for Ohio.

Speaker 4 (02:12:10):
He's completely against them and.

Speaker 26 (02:12:13):
Lies about it and instead disparages me. The people of
Ohio deserve better than Shared Brown. Let's fire him tomorrow,
empower me to fire Chuck Schumer. And just know, for
everybody listening to this, Brian, if you advocate for me
tomorrow with your family and friends, and you get me
across the finish line, I will advocate for you and
your family in Ohio for the next six years at

(02:12:35):
the United States Senate.

Speaker 2 (02:12:36):
I know you will. Bernie Moreno dot com in case
you want to know what he's specifically running on in
congratulations on the endless list of endorsements. Clearly a superior
choice to what we've been dealing with with Shared Brown. Bernie,
best of luck, and I look forward to talking with
you when you are Senator Bernie Moreno. Thank you, Brian,

another Monday. And yeah, you're right, get out and vote,
Get out there and share your opinion.

Speaker 2 (02:14:30):
Chance you get to do it, no question about it. Well,
it looks like the Is the Federal Reserve really going
to cut rates again? The reporting suggests it's going to
be post election, which I think that's the right thing
to do, regardless of which way they go, not to
influence the election by their actions. But are we expecting
really another cut? Yeah, so what the Federal Reserve does?

Speaker 27 (02:14:50):
Of course, this is our nation central bank, and they're
one of their goals is to keep the economy moving
in a decent clip. And they have moved the meeting
for those of you who are who attention to a
lot of details, they did bump it back a couple
of days. As you pointed out, they didn't explicitly say this,
but I'd say it's fair to say they don't want
be accused of affecting the election. Right, So the expectation
is that rates are going to drop to four point

(02:15:12):
six percent this coming Thursday.

Speaker 2 (02:15:14):
This follows a half point reduction in September.

Speaker 27 (02:15:16):
And I don't know if you remember this, but but
just a few weeks ago we talked about how maybe
there aren't going to be any more rate cuts for
the rest of this year because the economy at that
time was starting to look like it might not be
cooling off. At the same rate, but those fears have
gone on to be determined unfounded, and so now we're
just trying to get things back to normal Brian.

Speaker 2 (02:15:34):
So normally rate cuts are there to.

Speaker 27 (02:15:37):
Kind of goose the economy, get things going, but now
we're just trying to put things back to where they were.
So with inflation having dropped to two point four percent
in September, that's pretty close to the two percent target
that they want and Sore this is just kind of
hopefully that last push to get us back down to
where we're supposed to be.

Speaker 2 (02:15:52):
Well, did this most recent not very stellar jobs report
have an influence on this? Do you think was it
fourteen thousand? I mean that does seem miserably low.

Speaker 27 (02:16:01):
Yeah, So the expectation was that employers were going to
add one hundred thousand jobs in October. So it's not
sometimes it's not so much the number that resulted, it's
what we thought the number was going to be and
then how far off we were. So but instead of
one hundred thousand jobs, there were only about twelve thousand.
This had to do with a couple of hurricanes. The
Boeing strike knocked out about forty four thousand jobs. And

(02:16:22):
then there was also a revision from the prior to runs. Right,
we always revised this data. We announced here's the initial number,
and then we come back two months later and says
here's what it was supposed to be. So, yes, you're correct.
Where we want jobs, we want growth, and so forth.
But remember it depends on what our goal is. Our
shorter term goal is to get inflation under control and
get interest rates back down to where we prefer them

(02:16:44):
to be, which again is we want a two percent
target on inflation.

Speaker 2 (02:16:48):
And so these job losses, while not good.

Speaker 27 (02:16:52):
In the long run and the short run, it's a
sign that the economy is no longer in an inflationary mode.

Speaker 2 (02:16:57):
Clear enough. And I guess one of the brightsides of
a lower interest rate I means a whole bunch of them,
is it may reduce the mortgage interest rate. Right, Yeah,
that's a big one.

Speaker 27 (02:17:07):
And I've had a lot of conversations just through the
financial planning process of people who had to move for
one reason or another. Right, Sometimes it's because we want
a bigger house, but other times it's because of a
job change, or perhaps you know, maybe somebody's aging and
needs to get into a home that's better, that's a
better fit for them or whatever.

Speaker 2 (02:17:23):
But if a mortgage is.

Speaker 27 (02:17:24):
Going to be involved, and a lot of people have
had to get a mortgage, we've all become accustomed to
the last twenty years of these two and three percent mortgages,
which is the greatest in history. If you look now,
you can get a you can get a thirty year
for about seven percent. Hopefully that'll come down toward the
end of this week. And historically that that feels painful because,
like I said, we're sat oils. But ask anybody won

(02:17:45):
a house in the nearly eighties. Yeah, me, exactly eighties.

Speaker 2 (02:17:48):
I'll tell you again, I keep going back eight in
an eighth on a seven to twenty three balloon. That
was you know, that's not good. But now you were
able to manage and it did come back down. We
refinance ourselves locked in at a much much lower rate,
which anybody can do.

Speaker 22 (02:18:04):
Well.

Speaker 2 (02:18:04):
We're going to find out next more people are shoplifting.
Who are the shoplifters? Is it organized criminal gangs or
is it beyond that? More that was Brian James, stick
around me right back, Shanna nine first one to one,
Ask got clouds today? For the most part seventy five
for the high partly cloudie over nineteen sixty one Election
Day seventy eight partly cloudy rain shows up late evening,

(02:18:28):
so after the polls closed, hopefully overcast over night with
the scattered showers and the low fifty nine Wednesday, partly sunny,
chance of showers all day, and I have seventy right
now sixty four Jason. Time for traffic on the UC
Hell Traffic Center.

Speaker 17 (02:18:41):
Lung cancer screening can save lives if you're fifty year
older and have a history of smoking called UC Cancer
Center five one three, five eighty four.

Speaker 4 (02:18:48):
Long.

Speaker 17 (02:18:49):
Big problem right now is but east bound two seventy
five at Mostellar Cruise have just moved over to the
right hand side. Those lanes were blocked for about the
last twenty minutes. Eastbound traffic backed up past seven forty
seven in northern Kentucky. Not too bad on four seventy
one this morning. Of course, a lot of that southbound
traffic now heading over to I seventy five. So the
northbound lanes that have been trouble off and on slow
from Memorial Parkway on up because of the left lane

(02:19:11):
be had blocked. Jason Earhart on fifty five krc the
talk station.

Speaker 2 (02:19:17):
Hey, thirty fifty five KRCD talk station. Election DAYE I
E Monday. So we're hearing from Brian James from all
Worth Financial on Money Monday. Real quick, before we get
to crazy shoplifting epidemic. I'll throw a little curveball with you.
I'm sure you can handle. I know you saw because
I did that. The IRS now raised the ketchup contribution.

(02:19:38):
They calling you a super catchup for pokes folks sixty
to sixty three years. That's a pretty substantial increase in
the amount of money you can put in your four
to one ks. Yeah, So what the ketchup is.

Speaker 27 (02:19:51):
The concept of a ketchup has been around for gosh,
I think twenty years. Yeah, where it was basically, say,
it was kind of an acknowledgment by the IRS that hey,
people aren't going to be able to afford to retire
because social Security has got some issues, the math doesn't
quite work and so forth. But so the normal catch
up is seventy five hundred dollars, meaning that anybody over

(02:20:14):
fifty can put away thirty thou five hundred into their
four oh one k.

Speaker 2 (02:20:18):
Yeah, it's an extra seventy five hundred over the cap
that's in place for anybody.

Speaker 27 (02:20:25):
Yeah, anybody who can fog them here can put away
about twenty three thousand dollars and then if you're over fifty,
you get an additional seventy five hundred.

Speaker 2 (02:20:30):
This is four oh one k limits.

Speaker 27 (02:20:32):
Now investors age sixty to sixty three can save an
extra eleven two hundred and fifty for catchup contributions. And
that came as part of us the Secure Act two
point zero. The Secure Act is something that pops up
every now and then. It had a whole bunch of
moving parts to it, and one of them again is
the increase in retirement saving. It doesn't quite match what
that Act was about, but whatever, it just helps us

(02:20:55):
kind of make make better progress for ourselves in retirement.

Speaker 2 (02:20:59):
Well, you see, I understand the reality of trying to
max out. When you're a young person. You're not making
as much, so you've missed some opportunities early on. This
does give you a chance to sort of, you know,
catch up, but you are deprived the time value of
money and compounding that you get over the lifetime of savings.
That's the only thing, absolutely and that really is huge,

(02:21:20):
and I try to impress that upon all of my
client's children, my own children too. It's far better to
save a bunch now while you're in your twenties. Maybe
expenses are low because you're still living at home, you
don't have rent or whatever. Put a bunch of that
money into your into your four and K, your fourth
rev your retirement plan. If you can't do that in
your thirties, because then you are you're beginning to raise kids,

(02:21:41):
and you've got a mortgage, you've got some other debts,
that's okay because you built such a big core and
that core is going to snowball for forty years. So
take advantage of whatever you can now. It's okay if
you have to back off later, but you're right.

Speaker 27 (02:21:52):
When you're sixty years old, you know that this whole
point of this is as savers age sixty to sixty
three can put away a total of thirty four thousand dollars.
Flks are going to retire within the next five, six,
seven years, so it's not going to help them as
much as just someone saving by the older limits in
their twenties, but.

Speaker 2 (02:22:08):
At least you get a few years worth of investment,
which is to me certainly worth it all right, pivoting over.
Americans are shoplifting. We've seen it all over California. In fact,
they have a proposition out there to recriminalize thefts under
nine hundred and fifty bucks for recidiviust. But that's not
all the people out there in the world who are
ripping people off, is it now?

Speaker 27 (02:22:27):
So there's this disorganized mob of people who appear to
just be stealing because it's fun. So this article references
the idea that there are people shoplifting who weren't doing
it before. These aren't professional criminals, it's just regular people,
some facing economic hardship, inflation, you know, personal struggles, things
that you wouldn't be shocked if you think about the headlines.

(02:22:47):
Of course, it's been tough for the last however many years,
so people are pushed to that limit, but other people
are sticking it to the man. Many comments from these,
of course, people who are remaining anonymous in this article
talk about going into Whole Foods and grabbing some things
right out of Jeff Bezos's pocket because Whole Foods is
now part of the Amazon Empire. Some of them grow
to great pains to say you know what, I wouldn't.

(02:23:08):
I would never do this to a mom and pop business,
But shoplifting from big, publicly traded companies, that's just accepted.
I think one of the interesting things in here, Brian,
it was the reference to tape measures. Apparently tape measures
are assumed to be free samples. If you walk into
Lowser home depot, you got to go measure that too.
By four you walk out with the.

Speaker 2 (02:23:26):
Tape measure in your pocket. Well, that was complimentary. So
that's an assumption some of these folks are making. Well,
you know, if you just I mean, that is certainly
something that contributes to inflation. If you're cutting into the
any retailer's margins because you're not paying them for the product,
that just means they're gonna have to increase the prices
for everybody else.

Speaker 27 (02:23:42):
So don't do that, Yeah, exactly, And this is that
is definitely the knock on effect if you're pulling stuff
off the shelves. And with regard to the tape measures
on one industry source said that for every three they
put on the shelves, one of them is actually sold,
the other two just vanished into the ether appearance.

Speaker 2 (02:23:58):
I can't believe that any way, whatever happened to ethics
and morality and doubt, shout not steel, right?

Speaker 27 (02:24:06):
I think, yeah, I think people look at what's going
on at higher levels and decide why can't I do
that too?

Speaker 2 (02:24:10):
Indeed, all right, let's pause for rom because the next
story about Berkshire Hathaway selling off stock has got me
a little bit worried. We'll see if Brian James can
alleviate some of my concerns along those lines. Eight thirty
five Right now, stay right here, fifty five K see
the talk station.

Speaker 3 (02:24:24):
Hey everyone.

Speaker 2 (02:24:27):
Nine first morning weather forecast mostly clowns today seventy five,
overnight cloudy sixty one, partly cloudy for election day. Late
evening rain is possible. We'll see high of seventy eight,
overcasts with scattered showers Tuesday night fifty nine. Wednesday is
going to be a partly Sunday day with a chance
of showers all day. I have seventy at sixty five.
Right now, let's hear about traffic from Jason from the

(02:24:48):
U See.

Speaker 17 (02:24:49):
How traffic center mun cancer screening can save lives. If
you're fifty year older and have a history of smoking,
call U see's cancer center at five one three five
A four l U n G seventy five remains a slowgo.
That wreck and moss seller was blocking the right two
lanes for the better part of twenty minutes. The lanes
are open now, but you still slow back to Route
four four to seventy one southbound. Obviously the big back

(02:25:11):
bridge is closed. If you go across to seventy five
that would work, or south seventy five not too bad
heading across the Brent Spencon to northern Kentucky. I'm Jason
Earhart on fifty five KRC the talk station.

Speaker 2 (02:25:26):
Just shout of eighty forty fifty five KRCY talk station
Brian Thomas with Brian James, going a little longer than
normous since we had Bernie Marino on the top of
the hour. Brian James, should I be freaked out about
Burscher Hathaway? Warren Buffett well selling all of his stock
or a lot of his stock? Is he anticipating a
market crash as I've read from some sources. Well, Warren

(02:25:48):
Buffett knows a thing or two.

Speaker 27 (02:25:49):
He's been around the block once or twice, and he
is he is reducing the headline. Is he's reducing some
of his equity positions big companies like Apple Bank of America,
and increasing cash reserves to about three hundred and twenty
five billion dollars.

Speaker 2 (02:26:02):
So this is I know, he's got his concerns.

Speaker 27 (02:26:05):
I mean, he references a little bit about times of
market uncertainty. I don't know when the market is ever
not uncertain. Who am I to argue with Warren Buffett?
But there's never certainty. At the same time, the other
thing that's happening here in the background is capital gains
rates are going to go up for the mere fact
that the Tax Cut Act of twenty seventeen is going
to expire. So in twenty twenty, twenty twenty six, we're

(02:26:28):
going to see capital rates, capital gains rates go up.
He's already at a twenty one percent rate anyway, which
is most people pay fifteen percent on long term capital gains.
But obviously he's got a few more bucks in his file,
so his company pays more than twenty one percent. So
that's more of a reaction to what's coming and a
little bit of a response to what's happening in his business.
So about twenty five percent of his revenue Brian comes

(02:26:50):
from the insurance industry, and obviously with hurricane season, you know,
being in full till a couple of weeks ago, the
company has taken a hit. So he's just moving the
furniture around that that you know that he is the
way he feels he needs to. It's not necessarily something
that is super meaningful for the average person.

Speaker 2 (02:27:06):
But rather than move it to other stocks, he's putting
it in cash. That's true, that's and that's a fair
point too.

Speaker 27 (02:27:14):
He's never been a super aggressive investor, but he is
an extremely long term investor. He's still sitting on companies
such as Coca Cola and again more shares of Bank
of America. There's a significant position in the utility and
energy space, railroads, manufacturing and all that. These are a
couple of it's almost his own mutual fund. So a
couple of the big moves he's made. Apple is still

(02:27:36):
his largest position by a good chunk, even though he's
liquidated a good amount of it this year.

Speaker 2 (02:27:41):
Well, I suppose I just wondered, as anything else beyond
that we can can draw from it. If he thinks
that the tax cuts are not going to be extended,
isn't that a suggestion he thinks Kamala Harris is going
to be elected.

Speaker 27 (02:27:56):
Well, I think it's more of a decision that the
latest studies on that tax cut from twenty seventeen or
that it's pretty much unsustainable and if we simply leave
it alone, that's a few trillion dollars that is not
going to be covered in the budget. So I don't
think there's going to be much talk by either side.
I would point out that we're in the middle of
an election ser season, and nobody has really talked much

(02:28:19):
on either side about that tax Act. So I think
it's going to be a tough sell to keep it
going anyway. Unless Elon Musk is in charge of cutting
government spending. He claims he can cut two trillion dollars,
and who other than Elon Musk can make good on
something like that.

Speaker 2 (02:28:35):
Well, we'll see.

Speaker 27 (02:28:35):
If he's given the reins to the economy, then well
there's probably pros and cons to that. There might be
some whiplash along the way, but I guess we'll find
out maybe tomorrow, maybe December.

Speaker 2 (02:28:44):
Maybe January maybe, But I think it will be a
great exercise just to give it a shot. I mean,
we keep giving other side the more liberal ideas a shot,
and sometimes they don't work out. See California, Washington trying
to backpedal on their decriminalization laws. You know what, maybe
we should backpedal on government spending because last time I checked, Brian,
thirty six trillion dollars in the hole, almost a trillion

(02:29:07):
dollars in an annual interest payment. That seems to be
cutting into maybe other necessary things we need from government.

Speaker 27 (02:29:14):
Yeah, and I'm not optimistic that anytime soon we're going
to get a candidate that wants to run on adult
platforms and tell us and talk to us like we
are adults.

Speaker 3 (02:29:24):
That's what it's going to take.

Speaker 27 (02:29:25):
I think back to the Affordable Healthcare Act, with which
went into place, and then the Republicans were pretty quickly
able to gut the funding mechanism, but they were not
able to cut the expense part of it.

Speaker 2 (02:29:36):
So the teams aren't working very well together to put
us in a better spot, no kidding, state of the obvious,
Brian James. When will we ever have teams that are
working collectively for the American people. I don't know if
it will happen my lifetime, Brian James. Until next Monday,
keep our fingers crossed, whatever side of the ledge you
happen to be on for tomorrow. I hope we have
order and respect and no craziness in the streets. We'll

(02:29:59):
keep our popu corn out. Look forward another money Monday
with you next Monday. Take care of my friend. Have
a great week. Whody, get out there and vote. You
know it man eight forty four at eight forty five.

Coming up an eighty forty nine. If you have kercite

looks over in which they received means Brian, you're first
welcome to the morning show.

Speaker 28 (02:31:36):
Happy Monday, Hey Ran, good morning, Happy Monday. Thank you,
sir so I'm I'm from Florence, Kentucky. Talking about the
you know, the deficits of the federal government level. It's
it's nice to live in a city by Florence that
runs a surplus. Kind of odd to these days, but
it does run a significant surplus, and you know, but

(02:31:58):
it still requires for involvement, for the citizens to keep
an eye on what's going on in government. Two and
a half years ago, the city was going to spend
nine point six million dollars to on a very wasteome
project to eliminate the resource that the city really loves
and enjoys, or police aquatic center and traps the taxpayers

(02:32:21):
with four hundred and fifty thousand dollars debt service, or
to pay that nine point six million dollars off over
twenty years.

Speaker 13 (02:32:29):
I stopped that.

Speaker 16 (02:32:30):
I got involved as a citizen and was able to
launch a campaign with a couple of colleagues and stop that.
Now I'm running for city council and continue to keep
the city whole and as far as financially sound and
making sound decisions. So anyways, I encourage people to get involved.
Vote Sure in Florence, vote King Ross for council. Brian

(02:32:52):
kan Ross for city council. But get involved, and you
know we still have at the local level, we still
have the ability to level It seems a little far
off local level.

Speaker 21 (02:33:04):
We've been doing a lot of good.

Speaker 2 (02:33:05):
You are right, most politics local is what most impacts
our lives, although the federal government loves encroaching on that
local reality by depriving us of our choices, your choice,
fiscal responsibility, which I truly appreciate, Maureen. Welcome to the show.
Happy Monday.

Speaker 29 (02:33:21):
Hi, Brian, I just wanted to talk about at the
Madison Square Gardens rally the President Trump had recently. He
said that he and Matt Gates have a big surprise
that people need to stay tuned for a lot of
speculation on the pattern observer sites where I go that
it could be the Brunson case. I called in about

(02:33:42):
two years ago about this Brunton case. The Trumpeters is
named as Lloyd Brunston, one of the brothers, and they
filed a suit. It's advanced to the Supreme Court where
they come against the majority of the members of Congress,
President Biden, and Harris because they did not use the
ten day pause that you need for the certification to

(02:34:04):
investigate any evidence of possible foreign or domestic interference in
the election before the twenty twenty election. So what happened
was Ted Cruz also called for this ten day pause,
but it was all ignored. Dni Radcliffe came out and
said there was possible Chinese interference. They ignored that, they
didn't take the ten day pause to investigate it, and

(02:34:24):
they certified the election. That information could come out because
there is rumor that that did reach the Supreme Court
and they did vote on it, but they're waiting for
the verdict to come out. If that comes out, we
lose three quarters of the members of Congress because they
it was a treason this act by not respecting that
ten day pause that was necessary for the American people.

(02:34:44):
So I'm saying, look into the Brunston case. It's Brunson,
it's in the Supreme Court. They say it's been dismissed,
but the rumor is that it was not. They were
just holding on to it because it could cause major
chaos when it does come out. Something for people to
look at all.

Speaker 2 (02:34:59):
If thatact, how does one unring the bell of the
last almost four years.

Speaker 29 (02:35:04):
That's what a lot of exposure could come out and along.

Speaker 2 (02:35:08):
With that, well, I think legally it's not feasible you
and I have had this discussion before, Marene my popcorn
remains out. We'll see what happens. I know I'm not
entirely familiar with that particular piece of litigation. I appreciate
the call, though, I certainly do Uh. Andrew Pappus, Welcome
to the program, sir. It's always a pleasure to have
you on the morning show.

Speaker 4 (02:35:28):
Laurten Brian.

Speaker 24 (02:35:29):
I hope you're feeling better here in the next few
days as you get through that wall you gotta go.

Speaker 2 (02:35:33):
Through, Tito Flew. It sucks, man. I'm working on it though. Brother.

Speaker 24 (02:35:38):
There, Brother, and a belated happy birthday to the previous
caller Marine.

Speaker 4 (02:35:43):
Listen. I feel like I'm sitting in.

Speaker 24 (02:35:46):
The green room of a Maury Povich Are You the
Father episode? I'm just sitting on pins and needles about tomorrow.
But I and no matter, and I guess most importantly
the most reason for it is, you know, a lot
of this has to do with stuff that's outside our control.
These are states. You know, We've done our job here
in Ohio, at least at the presidential level. And I

(02:36:11):
hope that you had Bernie on earlier. I was there
yesterday at his rally, met Tucker Carlson, and I will
say that was a great event.

Speaker 4 (02:36:20):
I just hope that everybody.

Speaker 24 (02:36:22):
Nobody leaves it on the field here in Ohio. You know,
you do these local races. You mentioned the prosecutor Melissa Powers.
We have commissioner races that are very important. We have
state rep races and more importantly sheriff and the judicial races.
And you know, please, you know, whatever you're thinking about,
whatever results you see tomorrow coming in early, if you

(02:36:45):
haven't voted, man, get to the polls tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (02:36:48):
Vote.

Speaker 24 (02:36:48):
We have them well staffed. A lot of people are
going to be there working obviously inside.

Speaker 4 (02:36:53):
