Speaker 1 (00:03):
By fifty five k r C, the talk station five
O five thinky five k r C, the talk station
Happy Monday.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Some say.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
It was a vacation and that's the way the news goes. Yeah,
I could use a vacation from welcoming on vacation a
really nice time off. And thanks to Kevin Gordon for
coming for me last week early and then for the
kind words came in during the Best of show. Just
Tracker put together the best of program, handpicking and selecting
some of the interviews, book authors, et cetera that I

(00:57):
had done and I came in and were so emails saying, Oh,
it's so refreshing and wonderful, and where on the hell
is the list of all the books of the authors
that you talk to, because it can easily find you
got to go through. You got to kind of back
scroll through the various podcast pages on fifty five cars
dot com to do that. Let us see here hope
Jostracker had as good of Thanksgiving as I did. Took

(01:20):
a break from the diet, had an awesome time to
ask the rhetorical question because the CONPI get you high.
I think the answer is a definitively yes. After one
month without any process sugar at all in my diet, yes,
I had some and it was off the charts amazing everything.
And then Brian Ibel from the Help Squad, who can

(01:40):
always use your help. You want to help folks out
on the west side or truly on life's margins, the
Help Squad is the place to make a donation. I
saw him post on my response to my Facebook post
asking if the COMPI can get you high? Where did
you buy the pecan pie? Asking for a friend, and
it was like, Bye, what are you talking about? He

(02:05):
clearly has no concept of who I married the best
pie crust maker on the planet and everything goes into
the pie. My wife drops to my dear wife, she
does have a true high level skill set when it
comes to making pie. Oh my god, it was so good. Anyway,
always this and Monday's always good. Here in the fifty

(02:27):
five Kurssey Morning Show, because we get talked to the
former vice mayor of the city. Since St. Christopher's Smitherman
Christopher will join us at seven twenty, we'll get his
reaction to Joe Biden partening his son Hunters that come
as a surprise to anybody out there. Oh, oh, you
believe Joe Biden when he said he would never pardon
his son if you could roll back the clock a

(02:50):
year ago, when I think the first time he made
that kind of statement, and you had an opportunity to
put fifty bucks down, one hundred dollars down on a bet.
Would you love bet that Joe Biden was going to
pardon Hunter Biden? Or would you have believed Joe Biden
when he said, I won't do it, just asking no

(03:10):
from beyond my father? Chiming in, miss your dad, miss
you so much money Monday Brian James after Christopher Smith
been in money Monday, Brian James always at eight o't
five year in the Morning Show. Why are people moving south? Well,
maybe because it's nineteen blanking degrees out right now. Uh
strong recommendation from Brian Thomas where a jacket companies are

(03:35):
scanaling back on DEI. More and more are the racket
that is DEI. You think of all the college educations
that the diplomas that have been issued in the name
of woke ideology and related ideological concepts. They had to
go out into the world and find a job guess what,
There weren't any, So what do they do? They created them. Ah,

(03:57):
we have a new DEI department here at college. We're
gonna hire fifty people. Director is going to be paid
four hundred thousand dollars. Then you find out they don't
accomplish anything except violate the law by having specific mandates
on the number of people of any given particular skin color,
regardless of marriage. Mind you, it's just wait a second.

(04:19):
Are there x number of Asians? Are there X number
of white people? Are there x number of black people?
The answer is no in any of the foregoing then
we're going to hire them, even though someone else in
a different skin color is more eminently qualified for the job.
This isn't good for business, and of course when you're
doing DEI and woke investing, it is not good for
your portfolio. You're looking for a high return on investment

(04:42):
for your investment dollar. That is a sheer violation of
the fiduciary obligations that investors have to you to maximize
the return on your investment so you can maybe a
Ford to eight eight During retirement, they start investing in
companies just because they are woke. That doesn't mean this
company is going to make any money. Hell, was a
poor business decision to create the whole DEEI department in

(05:04):
your company anyway, because it will It is not a
generator of income. I worked in legal departments at companies
like Anthem, for example. Do you think the legal department
generates income? No, of course it doesn't. It's a lost leader.
That is pure profit eating. Now, you can improve your
business's bottom line depending on how the outcome of any

(05:27):
given case, but generally speaking, lawyers are legal department isn't
making money, and the EI department isn't making money either,
just sucking a life out of companies. Anyway, we'll se
where Brian has to go on that. Well, we not
a bit of a tear on that. Why no more
than sixty percent of your retirement should be in stocks.
And finally, this Black Friday broke sales records. You probably
heard that top of the Iron News questions just sort

(05:48):
of out loud, rhetorically speaking, will there even be brick
and mortar stores maybe five or ten years from now?
Just kind of thinking out loud anyway. Five three eight
hundred eighty two to three Taco top five fifty on
at and T phones. Maybe you have something you want
to talk about. I just in reviewing the fact that

(06:09):
President Biden did, in fact pardon his son Hunter Biden
yes yesterday, wiped away his criminal convictions, and probably I
think it's a bigger pardon. I think I read one
of the articles talking about a more in scope and
breath than the parton that Ford gave Nixon. This is
ten years worth of anything that he did, whether you

(06:31):
and I knew about it or not. I mean, he
was convicted. He was convicted for lying on his FFL
firearms for him, he pleaded guilty to tax evasion, pleaded guilty.
He didn't even fight that one. To save them. Well,
I suppose himself as father and all the other corrupt

(06:51):
individuals in the background, the embarrassment of having the facts
come out at trial regarding his tax evasion not anymore,
and then whatever else was in the background. Notably that
this pardon goes back to twenty fourteen, that includes his
time while he was working for Barissima. Remember Barissma Ukrainian

(07:14):
gas company. You remember that, don't you. Wow, that's all
been forgiven too, So don't sweat a bit, don't sweat it.
The sun was said to appear for sentencing hearings later
this month in Delaware and California, where the potential for
lengthy prison times was there. But no, no, no, no.
He had been singled out only because he is my son,

(07:37):
and that is wrong. So saith the president of the
United States of America. He still is, by the way.
I know a lot of people forget that. Joe Biden
still commander in chief. In fact, I liked that some
Democrats were critical of the pardon. Colorad Governor Jared Paulus
said the president put his family ahead of the country

(07:57):
instead of bad precedent that could be abused by LA presidents. Ooh,
I knew they gave Donald Trump a hard time for
the pardons, that he had issued a present of Greg
stand out of Democratic out of Arizona. I respect President Biden,
but I think he got this one wrong. This wasn't
a politically motivated prosecution. Hunter Biden committed felonies. It was

(08:18):
convicted by a jury of his peers. Oh yeah, that's true.
Fell guilty earlier this year, and charges he lied about
his drug use in a federal form he completed as
part of his twenty eighteen gun purchase. I love that one.
And when they talk about this, the Dems do and
Biden's nobody would have ever he prosecuted for that. Wait, no, no,
but he was treated. Now he's different. Lying on an

(08:38):
FFL form. How everybody does it all the time and
nobody's going to go to jail for that all? Really? Yeah? Yeah,
I believe Joe Biden when he said he wasn't going
to pardon his son. Oh, he just pardoned his son.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
I believe the federal government when a spokesperson like, oh,
I don't know, the commander in chief the United States
of America, the leader of the free world, says, ah,
nobody ever gets rescuing for lying on an FFL form.
Head on over to your favorite gun store. Lie on
the form. Find out what will happen to you. I
guarantee it won't be pretty, most notably because they know

(09:11):
what political affiliation you have. Oh yeah, forgot about that too, Yes,
you too have a dossier out there in digital form,
so lying on the federal form. And then several months later,
just as his trial on tax charges was getting readed,
a kickoff in Los Angeles and that's when he pleaded guilty.

(09:34):
And that was the point of pleading guilty was to
well to keep the evidence of reality from the American people,
the what some refer to and not kindly, as the
Biden crime family prosecutors pointed out, bidennovated taxes by claiming
hundreds of thousands of dollars in false deductions, including you

(09:58):
remember that, writing off payments for hookers, dancers, a sex
club membership, his daughter's law school tuition, all business expenses,
all of them. They treated him differently. It was law

(10:20):
there waged against my son, Hunter Biden Ergo, I'm pardoning.
His full statement on the matter is just side splittingly comical.
Five fifteen fifty five car City dok Station John. I
just looked up. You are going to be first, as
long as you don't mind hold it just for a
few minutes here, gotta take quick Greg for some brief words.
I'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
They don't just want to control our healthcare, live to
control our children's minds through their education. Loud, We have
to fight to take America back and.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Logo, you have the luxury of giving your opinion. It's
just being neighborly. Yeah, I've a good agree with the
whole hard like of course most.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
Of the time, bring it back to what the founding
bought is believed in that individual whippie and the individual
responsibility that goes with.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Us fifty five scene being talk station when it comes
to your health five eighteen, coming up at five nineteen
on a Monday, Like it or not five one, eight
hundred and eight two to three talk with Pound five
fifty on eight and T phones and thanks for holding John.
Welcome to the program, and happy Monday to you. Happy Monday, Brian,

(11:25):
and good morning to you.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
Hey.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
I wanted to get in real quick before we got
busy here at work. I wanted to start your week off.
And I'm just calling in to thank you man. Thank
you for your show and what you and Joe put
together and what you guys do for us out here.
It's really more of a service. I just really appreciate it.
I got the iHeartRadio app years ago because I do
a lot of traveling for work and construction. So I

(11:47):
can listen to your show every morning, and I don't
care what city I've been in other shows, there's just
none to compare to your your show.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
The way you.

Speaker 5 (11:55):
Incorporate the national scene with the local stuff. That's important
to everybody down there Cincinnati and your guest and a
couple examples.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Years ago.

Speaker 5 (12:03):
As a kid, I remember the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire,
but growing up, it wasn't like that was a big
thing that I read about. But I don't know, six
seven years ago, and you've had him on a couple
of times. But the guy that wrote the book, I
was listening to your interview one day and I was
so engrossed. I went out and I bought the guy's book,
and then I watched up all the YouTube documentaries and
it was just so enlightening, and you know, learning about

(12:26):
the mob connections down there and everything. It was just,
you know, a really neat thing. And then more recently,
a couple of months ago, my wife decided, Hey, we
need a couple area. Rugs, Oh, yeah, that add to
the great room.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
That'd be nice.

Speaker 5 (12:38):
Well, one of the cats decided that he thought that
was a good idea too. So I'm really stressing out
and I'm like I can't deal with this, and we're
talking about what we're going to do, and then it
hit me, I'm like, all these years I've been listening
to Brian, let's try that odor exit stuff and I'm
telling you what, man, that stuff is like magic and
a bottle. It's unbelievable. It does, man, And so you

(13:02):
know you don't. You haven't sold yourself out. Whether it's
the car repair, the rooking guys, you know their products
that you've used.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
You don't steer us wrong.

Speaker 5 (13:10):
So I just wanted to start your week off.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
I just thanking you.

Speaker 5 (13:12):
And one day I'm going to take a day off
so I can make it to your your listener lunch
because I want to shake your hand, not as a
radio personality, but as a friend and a guy that
I admire most importantly, a guy that I appreciate because
what you do for us is it's such such an
incredible service. And whenever you do decide to hang that
mic up, it's going to be a sad, sad day
in Cincinnati because we need to appreciate who you are

(13:34):
and what you do for us. So you have a
great week. I hope you've got a great holiday.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Brian.

Speaker 5 (13:39):
We love you to death, brother, and uh we listen
to you every morning.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Made month man. That was the nicest thing. God, God
bless you. He brought a tear to my eye. I'm
having an analogy attack. Truly, truly, from the bottom of
my heart, I appreciate that I consider every one of
my listeners a friend. I don't. I hate the idea
of celebrity, and that's why I don't do social media
and get out there and sort of Hey, by the way,
I'm having this for dinner. Take a look. And I

(14:05):
don't know. I just you know, just a guy, just
a guy trying to make sense of life. And I
appreciate that you find some some benefit from the content
I talk about. And I always appreciate Jo Strekker for
getting this great guests lined up because I'm you. I
put myself a position of if I don't know anything
about this guy, what this person's talking about, what's the

(14:27):
book about? What would what would anybody else ask? Where?

Speaker 6 (14:30):
Where?

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Are they inquisitive? The who?

Speaker 7 (14:32):
What?

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Where? Why? And when? I just try to do my
best to answer those questions because I need to know
the answers myself. So it's wonderful being in a position
to talk about this. And you know, over the years,
I met folks like you, and it just man, I'll
tell you what what you said today that's going to
help me get out of bed on those tough days
when the alarm goes off at two thirty and you're like, oh,

(14:53):
and the world seems to be burning around us. God
bless you. I really appreciate it, Mike. Thanks for calling
this morning, and happy Monday to you.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
Oh my pleasure. Brian.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
I like to wish you in yours.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
Happy holidays, Brian.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
They're already off to a great start. I sure appreciated
pyle on man.

Speaker 6 (15:12):
Brian.

Speaker 8 (15:12):
Look this is me and I know, oh boy, most
people are going to disagree with this. I have no
use for Biden, no use at all, but I would
have personally I would have had less use for him
if he wouldn't have pardoned his son. I know he's
a bold face liar, he's this, that and the other,

(15:32):
But as far as the sun goes, I don't blame him.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
Brian, Happy holiday.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Thanks appreciate it, Mike, and I hear where you're coming from.
But you know, it's like Bill Clinton waving his finger.
I did not have sex with that woman. Why did
he even bother lyon in the first place? And if
you're Joe Biden, you were, Yes, he's your son. The
kids got all kinds of problems. I'll be standing in
the shadow of Bull Biden and all the success that

(15:59):
he had. Here there's you know, poor Hunter over in
the background, you know, never getting any attention. Massive drug abuser,
you know, I mean, how many hookers did that guy
go through in his life? How much crack did he smoke?
Terrible example of a father, on and on and on
and on. But you know what, he's got a dad,
and dad's quite often er enablers of that type of behavior,
willing to overlook it or do everything they can in

(16:22):
their power to help them get rehabilitated, which I don't
doubt that they tried over the years, and apparently the
guy's been sober now for five years. Bully for him.
Hope he loves the rest of his life. But why
why would he have said early on in this process,
I will not and I will not and I will
not over and over again he direct me out of

(16:42):
his mouth or through cream, Jean Pierre will not prosecure
a pardon my son. He knew in the back of
my mind he probably was going to be pardoning his son.
I think he wanted to see how things shake out.
Guess what they didn't shake out real well. He was
convicted and then pled guilty, convicted of the firearms charges,
pled guilty to the tax evasion charges. So there he

(17:06):
is stuck with his own prior pronouncements, and then of
course giving everybody the opportunity to reflect back on him
and say, look, Joe Biden lie to you again. So
he should have kept his mouth shut in the first place.
Maybe something along the lines of I'm going to wait
to see how this shakes out. But as a father
and as a forgiving man, in the name of Christian

(17:29):
principles of forgiveness, I can see myself at least considering it.
At least considering it.

Speaker 5 (17:41):
Keep your stupid mouth shut.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
See words of wisdom for my heart MEATIA Aviation expert
Jay Rattler, Thank you just Drecker for putting an exclamation
point on that five twenty five. I mean, if I'm
curious to the detoxation, local stories or more of your
phone calls, which I obviously prefer rather talk to you
than hear the sound of my own voice. But got
interesting things going on in the news, and we'll get
to that. I hope you can stick around. You're right back.

Speaker 9 (18:04):
This is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio station h.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Zug crappy one to you, and yes it does feel
like nineteen degrees. Walk out there and hit you like
a sledgehammer. At least that was my experience this morning. Normally,
don't even put a jacket on because my car's in
my garage. I walk out of my house and get
in the cart and they come to the parking garage.
I got like twenty feet to walk inside of the door.
We're going to open that car door this morning. That's
twenty feet with the wind blowing. Ooh, so put a

(18:32):
jacket on your up, a little bit of asshle. It's
over to the phones and sealed. But Evescot this morning,
Happy Monday. Thanks for calling the program. Hello, Yes, welcome
to the program.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Oh thank you. This is bud It. Somebody just call
you and let you know about many thanks how you
help them with with odor exit. I thanks like that.
So I want to add to that. Over the years

(19:05):
since you started, I've been listening to you since you
started on the radio, and one thing I can say
is that most of the time you are right. I
remember when you predicted that Joe Biden will not be
the candidate this year. I'm one of those that I said,
you are, you would be wrong, but eventually, eventually you're right,

(19:28):
so I give you the credit. So one thing that
confused me. We're talk about Jodge Soro all the time. Yes,
an honest one. Why don't we have donors that are
Republican donors that can actually donate money just like Jodge

(19:52):
Soro don it to be used for the benefit of
projecting certain things that they are publican believe. And that
is one thing. The second thing I wanted to ask
you is why isn't it that whenever the Democrat moved somewhere,
Republicans or this rock and I remember when I thought

(20:16):
moved to Cincinnati, the Democrats are not dominating, the are
the Hamilton County. But now all these three sleep uh
conventioners our Democrat Yes, why why is it that I want.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
To You know what I would love with I would
love to know the answer that question. The reality that
I mean, I've watched I've watched this over my whole life.
I mean I've talked like, for example, Ken Blackwell, Conservative
Ken Blackwell was the mayor of the city of Cincinnati
at one point. I remember a guy named Eugene Roman
Never He's a neighbor of mine, the Roman family, wonderful folks,

(20:57):
really conservative. He was the mayor's of Cincinnati back in
the seventies at one point. Slowly, over time the Democrats
have taken over. Now, maybe it's population shifts, maybe more
and more as you've looked over the decades, it's taken
from Hamilton County to go from really solid red to
completely blue. There have been a lot of developments in

(21:20):
these suburbs and the exuburbs and whatever you want to
call it. Claremont County has gotten bigger Warren County. Everybody
in Hamilton County seems to have moved to Warren County
that it was of a conservative ilk. You've got Butler County,
which is far more conservative. I think what happened is,
you know, as you have this leftward shift in the
in city politics, which was slow, it affected the well

(21:43):
outskirts of the city, which is the right Hamilton County.
Hamilton County folks. They get like maybe the property or
the rather crime went up, Maybe the roads weren't being
taken care of. Maybe there are a couple of administrations
that just were epic failures. I don't know. I can
go back over a number of mayors of the city,
and they didn't exactly do the residents of the city
any help. But every time you got something like that happened,

(22:05):
more and more people consider moving out. In fact, my
friend my wife said that right after what looking with
the outcome of the Hamilton County election was here most
recently in November, it was like the first words out
of her mouth, let's move out of Hamilton County, you
know that, And on so many levels she was serious.

(22:25):
But that's people's response. So you get all the conservative
mind of individuals and all the you know, the folks
that would you know, vote for some sanity or some
at least appropriate prioritization of the use attacks. Now I'm leaving,
go ahead and ask the friends of my friends over
in Anderson Township how they like being well inundated by
all the leftists coming over there. I've heard from former

(22:47):
Anderson Township Commissioner Drew Pappus on that a whole bunch
of times. Hey, get to the point where, well, you
know what, I'm leaving Anderson and I'm going out to
wherever to get away from it. You know, back in
the old day, in racist times, it was called white
flight right now. Bottom line is it's just simple flight
of people that have conservative ideology and know white people

(23:09):
are not the sole carriers of conservative ideology. Look at
the most recent election, we made some great inroads in
many minority communities. Why because people look at the Democrats
as completely backcrap, insane, who gets rid of police departments
and who lets felons on the street, not Republicans, not
people concerned about their communities of whatever political stripe, And

(23:31):
it's backfired on him. So all we can hope is
that over time the pendulum will swing. As my friend
Mississippi James likes to observe during his lifetime, I've seen
the pendulum swing this way, and I've seen it backswing
the other way. We're in maybe a pendulum swing in
a more sane direction. A lot of people would disagree
with me on that, because well, Trump evil orange man,

(23:52):
but you know what, a lot of other people joined
the bandwagon, got the coattails, and now our positions to
change the direct Maybe that change can come back to
Hamilton County. And and yes, I know that'll let statement
right there elicited laughter among a lot of people, but
you can see why it can shift that way. Look
what's happening right now? I just saw yet another article

(24:15):
about the mass exodus of people from New York and
mass exodus of people from California. Why because the policies
don't work and they're running away. The place is like
well like Hamilton County used to be back when it
thread And with that, you can see the pendulum swinging
toward the blue as they enter and move into those

(24:36):
conservative areas. And I hope it doesn't happen. I appreciate
the call, my friend five thirty five. If i've care
see de talk station, and I will ignote although you
acknowledge that sometimes I get it right, I miscall it
from time to time as well. I'm happy to admit
that because everybody makes mistakes. Stick Grett, I've got plenty
to talk about. Especially stack is stupid. If you don't

(24:57):
want to engage in a conversation, that's okay. We can
die money into the stupid. I'll be right back.

Speaker 9 (25:01):
This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
What's up, y'all. It's Ken Monday, and a happy one
to you to the caller who called was so kind
and his words and learned about the Beverly Hills to
supper Club Fire from this guy that wrote the one
book on I just wanted to remind you since I
had Peter Bronson on last week, he's got a brand
new book out if you didn't read Forbidden Fruit since
Cities Underworld and the supper Club Inferno, that is a

(25:27):
wonderful companion piece to the other book that I believe
you're referring about the Beverly Hills supper Club Fire. So anyway,
he's got to write a new book, Promised Land, How
the Midwest was one. Interviewed him a full hour in
studio with He's just a brilliant guy and writes great book.
Just some Christmas press and options for you out there
from a local author about well matters local It's cool

(25:48):
over to the stack of Stupid and yeah, I think
we're gonna have to give an award out right out
of the gate here, Joe, we got a Texas daycare
worker former CATHERINEQE. Gouziche.

Speaker 10 (26:00):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
You helped me out on this one, gus z I
e Jka Smith there. Thanks, Joe. Seems like I don't
know if it's missing consonants or vowels. Anyway, Guziachka, forty
four years old, working at the Punkin Doodles Daycare in Lindell, Texas.

(26:25):
Police were alerted to her alleged abused abusing of children's
by the father of one of the alleged victims. He'd
been told about the assaults by another employee of the
daycare who saw surveillance footage of the abuse. According to
the New York Post, reporting sheriff claimed Gauzich got caught
on film kicking the six children on one hundred and

(26:45):
thirty four separate occasions kicking. She remains in custody and
has been since October thirty three, reth arrest on six
counts of injury to a child with the intent to
cause bodily harm. Kicks dealt over the court some several
months between July and October. One portion of the footage,
she can be seen kicking a defenseless two year old

(27:09):
boy in his lower back while he was laying on
the floor. Footage also reportully show her yanking on toddler's
from their naptime beds. You think that's enough. There's no
big a douche than you standing on some of the
toddler's hands as a form of punishment. Dumb, good going, Doude,

(27:32):
your dreams.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
Have come true?

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Oh my word, Well, I just have to wonder out loud, Joe,
because let's face it, you know, if this was a
man in a man's prison and it was determined that
his other inmates found out that he was committing these
kinds of acts of abuse on two year old children,

(27:56):
it wouldn't work out really well for that guy. Question
would it be worse for a woman in a woman's
prison having committed heinous acts like this? Am I allowed
to say? I hope? So who can argue with that?
Now here's the stuff of nightmares for some people over

(28:19):
in India. The Logical Indian Reporting that's the name of
the newspaper, so you know, jaring to keep the John
Desiahs skepticism alive and well for international news reports along
these lines. Anyway, he was nearly cremated alive in India
after three doctors mistakenly declared him dead. Twenty five year
old Roe tash Kumar neatly rushed back to the hospital

(28:41):
in Rajasthan, India after waking up on the funeral pire.
He then ultimately died a day later from the condition
that initially hospitalized and he described as death and m
You'd been staying at a home for the metal impaired,
began experiencing epileptic seizures. Taken to the hospital after seemingly
so coming to his his condition, three doctors said he's dead.

Speaker 10 (29:04):
I'm not sad.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Without conducting a proper post mortem examination anyway, I spent
three hours prior to his near cremation in freezing in
a freezing cold morgue, according to the UK Daily Mail reporting.
Footage obtained by the Mail reportedly shows him in the
catatonic state just prior to waking up. Health Department currently

(29:29):
investigating the three doctors at the BDK hospital. Yeah, forty five.
I think that's the caskets that they used to have
in the old days that had the little bell on them,
just in case you know, you'll woke up. In the casket,
you can let people know that I'm not dead yet.

his sixteen year old accomplice as they tried to carjack
a guy this last month. I can't believe I drew
that red card from EU Strekker. What for carjack phrasing?

(31:43):
Is that what they're calling it these days? Going to place,
teenagers approached a seventy three year old who was sitting
in a park car, pointing a gun at him and
demanded his keys. The man threw his keys in a
nearby open field. The man in the fourteen year old,
who was holding the gun, then got into a struggle,
during which the teenager fired the gun, shooting the sixteen

(32:05):
year old in the legs. Plural idiots things because they're idiots.
Sixteen year old taken to the hospital. Fourteen year old
taken it to custody. Seventy three year old man suffered
only minor injuries and did refuse medical attention. Instant karma. Okay,

(32:28):
it is the stack of stupid. This seems to be
the stupidest headline of the rest of the mix. Go
to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Got one man dead and another
detained after his wife's city was shot in killed in
a dispute over loud music in Florida on Thanksgiving. Do
what the hell let us see here? Rose McLean says

(32:50):
in agony after his seventy two year old husband, Hurley
Hurley On McLean, was gunned down outside their apartment. You
said it happened after a minor dispute with a neighbor,
rows in the interview. He was just playing his music
today and a guy said he was playing at two louds,
So my husband went down to went down there to him.
Moments later, she said she heard a fatal shot. I

(33:11):
was inside my chain and changing my clothes and I
hear a gun shot boom, So I ran outside because
I knew my husband went outside, and that's when I
go outside and saw him on the floor. Shot the
man with the gun then threatened her as well. He
was being very violent because I was saying, why did
you shoot my husband? Why are you doing that? He
said to me, and just shut your mouth. Hell shoot

(33:33):
me too. I don't even know what that means. Anyway.
Pastor apparently tried to comfort them, pointing out is a
difficult task on the day to give thanks and celebrate family.
No kidding, and let's see here Florida man, but stay
in Florida for this one. Under arrest for two separate

(33:54):
thefts occurring within fifteen minutes of each other. Andrew Silester,
forty two now cues the two county Fellony retail thefts
Court of the press release is see by the Pole
County Sheriff's device. In each instance, the defender allegedly stole
several hundred dollars worth of products from the exact same
public supermarket in central Florida. Court to poke shoff, Sheriff

(34:16):
Grady Judge Sylvester tried to steal not one, but two
carts full of groceries from public well shopping where shopping
is a pleasure. How do you like that little plug?
From the Pole County Sheriff, And he used that in
a commercial for publics. That's start landing him in the
county jail, where assisting criminals is our pleasure. He followed
up on Frazy Joe whove ever twelt. Deputy's called it

(34:40):
the grocery store Route ninety eight in Lakeland, public supermarket
chain employee owned, operates through a majority of southeastern United States.
You haven't been to Florida. You haven't seen the publics.
When deputies arrived, they located Andrew outside of the store
with a shopping cart full of groceries that he had
not paid for. Ord to the statement from the sheriff's
value of the items two undred and forty three dollars
ninety two cents. Storreploy allegedly said the defendant had pulled

(35:03):
off a similar caper less than fifteen minutes earlier and
then just came back to do it again. Idiots doing
idiot things because they're idiots. Value of the items in
the initial cart that he stole two hundred and six
dollars and ten cents. Ergo, he's alleged to attempted to
steal a combined total items valued at two cents over

(35:24):
four hundred and fifty dollars. I don't know if four
hundred and fifty dollars is critical under Florida law, but
that's the number, sheriff said. We tried to talk to him,
he wouldn't talk back. Sarah suggested the case of the defendant
was beyond dispute because store surveillance footage showing Sylvester walking
in and out with two buggies full of stolen property.

(35:46):
Retail theft in Florida criminalized at the basic level, considered
a phony in a third degree, punishable by a prison
term of up to five years. In the defendant's case,
two theft defenses pere likely to come with the potential
for an extended term of imprisonment two separate, unrelated offenses.

it for a day or two, that was just so glorious.
You have no idea how good that felt. Well, if
you ever been on Keto, you know how much the

know that Thanksgiving feast was amazing. Thank you to every
member of the family because everybody participated in it. And
I can only pray and hope that you had even

(37:27):
a fraction of the enjoyment that I had. Just taken
a couple of days off so I got to spend

Hope you can say as much I hope you can

line five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five, eight
hundred and eighty two to three talk pound five fifty
on AT and T phones, And Maureen, you know what

(37:49):
I'm I'm going with. I think you may be onto something.
It's not her idea conceptually, but I opened up the
morning show talking about President Biden, yes, pardoning his son,
and whether you think that's aokay or not, he does
have the power presidential parts. But he said over and
over again, through his own words and through his White
House spokespersons, including Kring Jean Pierre, that he was not

(38:11):
going to pardon his son, his son who was convicted
by a jury in the firearms charge and who admitted
his guilt in connection with the tax evasion charges. He
copped a plea guilty as charged, and that was in
order to avoid a very scandalous trial that might have,

(38:32):
you know, sort of revealed some of the more broader
and perhaps deeper and darker secrets of the Biden crime family.
But whatever Biden previously said, I'm not going to do it,
and then you know, he goes he does it. So
that's the part that really irks me. And as I
said in the last hour, you know, heads your bets
before you make some grandiose statement. I will never ever ever,

(38:54):
you know, it's always nice to say, you know what,
unless someone can convince me a good reason otherwise or whatever.
You know what, I'm gonna see how the thing plays
out with my son. My son's obviously got a heapload
of problems. I'm not inclined right now to say I'm
gonna pardon him, but you know what, I'm president of
the United States of America. Leave that option open. Some
people would have screened up there you go. You know

(39:15):
he's gonna pardon them, But at least he would have
had some measure of credibility to extend. Biden has any
credibility left. Now you look back on him and say, well,
you're a damn liar. Like Bill Clinton waved his finger,
I did not have sex with that woman. If he
didn't say that, you know what I've said before, and
I say it again, I think I would have given
the guy a pass. I'm a man. I'm a man

(39:39):
who could never, under any circumstances be married to a
woman like Hillary Clinton. For a multitude of reasons, not
the least of which I don't find her sexually attractive
at all. But you know what, that's a political marriage,
if that's their arrangement, whatever, But don't lie to me.
Say I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm I'm sorry. Apologies. Yes,

(40:03):
and take a look at the history of presidents of
the United States of America. Not exactly a real you know,
a moral group of people if you want to judge
it from your certain moral standards. But now, liar, President, liar.
But back to Marene. MSNBC is now saying that everyone

(40:27):
in the Biden administration should get a broad pardon, and
you probably pause through it and you think, wait a second,
could he do that? Yeah, he probably could. As I
stare at all of the backlash Trump is getting for
selecting Cash Patel to be the FBI director, the enforcer
of Trump's revenge. Patel has no other agenda but revenge. Okay, Well,

(40:53):
you know, I guess the Biden administration made a pretty
good job out of getting revenge when there was no
legal predicate to do. It's what do you do? You
go up and make stuff up. Steal dossier for example.
That took a while for people to finally come around.
Oh look the Hunter byden laptop. It's a lie. It's
Russia rush or RuSHA Russia. All that turned out to
be lie. So yeah, if there's nothing there, you can

(41:14):
create it and go after it and pretend that if
it's real. But ultimately you're really just going after one
single guy for his politics and the fact that he's
after your job. That's Cash Bettel. Now, will Patel go
out in New World and do this? I don't know.
My popcorns out for all things like that, don't know.

(41:34):
But who's set the precedent for him to do it? Right? Yes, Joe.
They are pissed off because he's the perfect choice. But
see this is Maureene's point. She gave me this little clip.
It's MSNBC saying everyone should get a pardon. And if
you have a corrupt administration, or you're worried about cash
Battel going out and drumming up charges or drumming up

(41:59):
things or making things up, because well they've written the
guidebook for him to do just that, then think about it.
Joe Biden sits down and they steer him in the
direction of the piece of paper in front of them,
which has words written down by someone else here. Put
your mark on this, Joe, and ultimately you've pardoned literally

(42:21):
every person in the entire Biden administration from all things
they may have done criminally or otherwise. And that's the
scope and breath of the pardon that Biden signed for Hunter.
Basically everything wiped away, whether known or unknown, all the
way back to twenty fourteen, which interestingly coincides with a

(42:43):
lot of the crazy behavior that was going on over
yes in Ukraine Baristla holdings, among other shenanigans. Today's got
a free pass. Why can't you do that to everybody?
I think it's conceptually possible. So when Cash Hotel comes in,
he can't go after anyone because Joe Biden's preemptively pardoned

(43:07):
them all. I guess I have to wonder out loud
what the American people's reaction to something like that might be,
because you can already hear the justification from MSNBC. Well,
it's just because Cash Mattel is going to politicize and
engage in lawfare against them. Oh yeah, well, Donald Trump

(43:29):
successfully defended himselves after years and years of charges levied
against him that we all found out weren't true that
we had been lying to us for all that time.
So if Cash Mattel did that same thing, then ultimately
these people would persevere because they didn't do anything, now
did they? Hmm? But WHOA What happens if they did?
What happens if he has probable cause to believe that

(43:51):
actual crimes were committed without parenthetically lying de fis the
court judges in order to get the information, like like
the Biden administration did, then he'd have to go prove
his case in a court of law, wouldn't he They
wouldn't need a pardon if you think they didn't do
anything wrong. I don't know, it's crazy, but it sounds
hilarious from a concept. And again, my popcorn is out, CJ.

(44:12):
Thanks for indulging me while I had to get that
out of my system. Welcome to the Morning Show.

Speaker 6 (44:15):
Happy Monday, Oh, happy Monday to you as well. You
know this weekend, the news this weekend was unbelievable for
Thanksgiving Day weekend between Hunter But what happened over in Syria?
What's going on in Georgia and Belarus? Last night? You
had a train hijacked by rebels that was burned on

(44:36):
supplies going to Ukraine for the Russian troops. Russia is
gaining land in Ukraine. That is one hundred percent true.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 6 (44:43):
There's also another thing going on that we're not paying
attention to, and that is that Putin is very close
to a coup. They have interest rates near thirty percent.
Now you've got inflation at ten percent a month. You've
got the ruble this weekend with taken off the foreign
exchange market by their central banks, so they're not buying anything.

(45:04):
They're not able to buy anything outside of Russia, even
on the black market, because that it has become completely worthless.
What's going on in Syria. They've lost they may you know,
that port there in Syria that they want so bad.
There's a you know, reports that they may have to

(45:25):
move the ships into the Mediterranean, which.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
They may or may not be allowed to do.

Speaker 6 (45:31):
They've lost multiple planes to the Syrian government. Putin is
in real danger. He may take land in Ukraine ultimately,
but I don't know if he can keep his power.
I also think we need to be prepared as a
country that you could have complete chaos with the nation
that holds the most nuclear weapons, with a government south

(45:53):
of them, who will gladly take them all on? Who
wants to take over other lands throughout the Asia for
America first, But we got to pay attention to the
foreign policy.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
Oh, no question, we have chip pay attention to foreign policy.
But I guess I have to wonder the stage has
already been set in Russia. We have history as a
guide for what might happen in the aftermath of a
complete radical change in government system. That of course was
the fall of the Soviet Union. Now we managed collectively
as a globe to get through that period of time,

(46:26):
and I know that at the time there was a
lot of concern or were you know, breakaway nations and
former Soviet Block nations and the fact that they have
nuclear weapons in their in their under their control, and
some of them are crazy and some of are not,
some of the are corrupt or some of them are not.
So Yeah, a scary time in history when that happened,
as well as a joyful and time of elation because

(46:47):
of the fall of the Soviet Union. But you know
a lot of danger looms in the background on that.
And I don't know how a change of government would
even take place, or transition to government even take place
under whatever the hell it is they have now, which
seems just like a dictatorship. I mean, isn't putin basically
a dictator They don't have seemingly really any form of
democratic process there. So I don't know crazy stuff, and

(47:11):
I was not aware of the Ruble melt down. I
have to I'm gonna have to look into that. See,
sometimes my listeners are far more intelligent and astute than
I am, and I'm happy to admit that. That's why
I'm happy I have the smartest listening audience in radio.
Appreciate the call. CJ got New Hampshire, Gary and Candy
on the phone. Hold on a moment, we'll get your calls.
After I mentioned chimney care fireplace in stove. You can

(47:31):
enjoy that warmth and beauty and comfort of that fire
roaring in the fireplace this year, and I hope you do,
and I hope you enjoy it because you know what,
You've already taken care of your safety safety safety safety. First,
your chimney needs to be inspected, notably wood burners because
of the you know, the kreosoat and everything else that
comes off burning wood that cakes up in your fireplace.

Number two apparently is the one that might burn your

a gas fireplace that with a fireplace insert for the
builders special department of the wherever the hell he got it?
Dangerous is what the Chimney Care Fireplace and Stove inspection revealed. Prian,
don't use it. I didn't rather than trying to just
sort of ignore it and not enjoy the warmth and fireplace,

(48:16):
I had the whole thing gutted, relined and beautiful fireplace.
Insert hands selected from the showroom at four thirteen Wards
Corner Road, which is where you'll find the Chimney Care

Thanks for calling and holding there, New Hampshire, Gary. Good
to hear back from you.

Speaker 10 (49:17):
It's good to hear from you, Brian. I hope everybody
had a copy. Thanksgidding. Let me just jump in beat
first on this. Everybody who didn't get the Hunter Biden's pardon.
It's actually a good thing for Republicans, and it shows
a hypocrisy both on the government level level and it

(49:39):
really shows the hypocrisy on every thinking news channel that
preached to us for the last six months. How Hunter,
how Biden's respects the system of justice in the United States,
He didn't and he would never pardon. They got a montage,

(50:01):
of course, everywhere they are everywhere.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
It's hilarious.

Speaker 10 (50:06):
I just think it's actually a good thing. It shows
the hypocrisy of everything that's going on, and then you
could apply that for the wearing us of the masks,
the vaccination, the withdrawal of Afghanistan, never leave Americans behind
to the election integrity that we know malfeasans was going

(50:31):
on even in this election with Democrats just blatantly trying
to ignore the law right even though they didn't care.
They still don't care, and there's still some of them
are trying, you know, taking almost four weeks to decide

(50:53):
an election in California. It makes you wonder. No, it
doesn't make me wonder. It makes you angry. It makes
me angry. This is not justice. This is a two
tier justice system that is being flauted at every level.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
It is. You didn't call me looking for an argument
to himshire Gary and I have been enjoying the montage
of these Biden will never ever, ever pardon listen to him,
but he believes in the rule of law. Of those
statements over and over again from every talking head and
every left wing talking head media outlet, in print and
on film, all right there for all to observe. That's

(51:31):
the beauty of the Internet. We can find it. It's
right there. Look fifteen minutes ago and like sort of
in human time, you know, a moment ago, in human time,
you were on there screaming about how much he believes
in justice, and now you're forgiving him and saying it
was the right thing for him to go ahead and
pardon his son. You can't reconcile those two points of view,
but we sure can. And we know who's lying to us,
and we know who's telling the truth. And thank you

(51:53):
again for the Internet. Let's se what Candy's got. Candy,
thank you for calling this morning, and a very happy Monday.
Forty nine days left, and he did it on the
fiftieth day.

Speaker 4 (52:05):
Of his Uh.

Speaker 5 (52:07):
I'm wondering if he thinks maybe he'll be off, you know,
he'll be.

Speaker 7 (52:11):
He's gonna you know, they're gonna want to have.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
A forty seventh president for Kamala.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Yeah, I've heard that rumor before. I don't think it's
worth going through the exercise of even trying that. But
but you know, he has been very, very frail of health.
It could certainly something might happen to President Biden. God forbid, though,
but a man who's eighty two years old and you know,
wanders away in a Brazilian rainforest and doesn't even know

(52:39):
where he is. Maybe he did want to get it
out of the way. Maybe his doctor has been con
candid and honest with him about his long term prognosis
or something. You see, when we've all been lied to
for so long, it's easy to come up with these conclusions.
It's easy to make these to draw these lines. I
don't think they're gonna waste the political capital just to

(53:00):
say Kamala Harris was the first woman president, because look,
she got her butt handed to her by evil Orange
Man by a substantial amount. They lost House seats, they
lost Senate seeds. That was a totally brutal devastation of
the Democrats thanks to whoever the decision making people were from,

(53:22):
I guess the Obama administration and pulling the plug on
Biden last minute and putting of all people someone who
all of the Democrats soundly rejected in twenty nineteen, not
giving them an opportunity to have their say in it,
and selected her to be the nominee, only to get
their butts handed to them. So is she the greatest?

(53:42):
Is she are they going to really want to annoint
her to the first female president in the United States's history.
I don't think so. They're hoping for a better day
down the road. Six twenty six fifty five krec DE

beings she is and in the mortgage business, I strongly
encourage you to work with a female that person. Susette
loves the camp. She is absolutely a terrific lady. You'll
enjoy working with her. Always took the point out it
seems to be one of the most expensive financial transaction
most anybody ever gets into owning a home, and you

(54:30):
want to get through it with the great understanding of
the knowledge that thirty five plus years in the mortgage
business will bring you with Susett, the wonderful customer service
she provides, and how quickly she can get you through
the whole process start to finish, Boom boom, boom, it's
over and done with with no junk fees, no application fees,
only great rates at low cost. And since she's with

Cross Country Mortgage, she can help you in literally any
state in the Union, including Puerto Rico. Not a state,
but she can help still help you with mortgage related
issues there. It's got great programs to talk to you about,
especially like if you're a veteran for example. Anyway, give
her a call. Please tell her Brian said, Hi. When

Speaker 1 (56:27):
Of course, the wooden playground not near the heat level
that a airplane full of fuel would cause and bring
down the towers. For all you conspiracy theorists out who
have been arguing about that never being possible, a playground
melted the bridge massive structural damage. Sorry, I always like
to throw that in odouts at a project like this

(56:49):
can normally take up to three years to complete, but
the crews should be done in less than four months,
knock Wood crews began repairing concrete pier caps, including seven
new girders, and pouring more than seventy six hundred square
feet of concrete deck once the girders. Arry Fuller said
construction on the bridge begin in January, with all work
expected to begin to be complete by March. Heartbreaking, it

(57:12):
is another round of Frish's Big Boy restaurants facing eviction notices,
including yes, you've probably heard it by now the Frish's
first location, the Mainliner in Fairfax, lots of folks expressing
dismay and court of the website. Mainline restaurant was Sincinny's
first year round drive in named after the first trimotor

(57:35):
passenger airplane, and of course to this day the replica
of the plane is on the sign's logo. There I
guess maybe let up in the sign Museum. December thirteenth,
Court Day will also threaten Frish's Queen's Gate and Sharonville
locations too, already close facing evictions. On the thirteenth, Frish's

(57:59):
West Price still in North College Hill restaurants. New evictions
bring the total number of eviction lawsuits more than twenty
evictions of Frisian's restaurants began in October after property owners
claimed the chain was over four million dollars behind in rent.

(01:00:07):
prompting me to think, I wonder how many more years
it's going to be that we're still going to have
brick and mortar stores. Heyw am talking earlier about, of
course cash Betel and the Dems pulling their heads out
about him being the enforcer of Trump's revenge. He'll be
going back after political opponents and okay, whatever, they got

(01:00:31):
the game plan from the Democrats. I just got the
biggest kick out of this, of course, shared Brown's licking
his wounds after losing to Bernie Moreno. Here in Ohio,
it was fifty point two percent to forty six point
six percent for those who failed to keep track at home.
That was the margin of victory for Bernie Moreno. Jared

(01:00:54):
Brown now shared Brown now claiming he lost the reelection
because Republicans rigged the system him. Last Thursday, on CNN,
Brown alleged Republicans rigged the system after complaining about ads
on transgender issues, including one that featured Vice President Kamala
Harris discussing how she pushed behind the scenes for transgender

(01:01:17):
prisoners to receive sex changes while she was Attorney general
in California, Brown on CNN, they lie about it, and
they put it in this case. They spent forty million
dollars on eight different ads on that issue. They were
talking about how to make Ohio a better state. They're
not doing their job on education, they're not doing their
job on healthcare, they're not doing their job on creating jobs.

(01:01:40):
And I'm reading this some going wait a second, he's
talking about a political attack AD. Has anyone ever learned
anything from a political attack AD other than well, there's
stuff to attack the other guy over. I know there
are positives like vote for Bertie Marina because he will
be able to do the following. Yeah, but they're also
negative attack ads. And of course I know Sharon Brown

(01:02:00):
ran his fair share against Bernie Moreno, or at least
his packs did. And I'm sure shared Brown wasn't drawing
a distinction between his own ad spy buying and spending
where he approved the ad content and the political action
committees that were happily running ads on his behalf. And
I'm sure he was happily enjoying them playing over and
over again about like, for example, how Bernie mistreated his

(01:02:23):
employees or something like that. CNN reporter Manu Raju pointed
out the campaign was successful, Republicans won. Brown's response, Yeah,
but they're winning elections in part because they've rigged the system.
They've made it harder to vote. He is still singing

(01:02:44):
that line. They've changed ballot language in a jer Conian
in a dramatic way. With the last election. They did
that with abortion rights. It didn't work in that case, right, Yeah,
And Ohio we have abortion now pretty much across the
board across So you got your way here in Ohio.
I don't know what you're complaining about there. So Roger

(01:03:09):
asked if Democrats were out of touch with Americans on
those issues, considering the aftermath of the election, Donald Trump
did win by a substantial majority here in the state
of Ohio. Oh, that's right, and the popular vote in
the United States of America, Like we're reminding the Dems
of that. Yes, they spend all this money on you
against you, you guys one, are you out of touch

(01:03:32):
on those issues too? Should you? Guys? Mean the Democrats
have done a better job in pushing back Brown for
his response, I'm not out of touch on those issues.
I go home, I hear people all the time. I
know how they focus group and they lie. I mean,
how do you call me out of touch when they

(01:03:54):
lie about an issue? It's just comical. Blurring of the
distinction between attack ads, political ads, race ads, and you
know a record you can either stand on or not
record that includes a very very, very very almost one
hundred percent left wing shared brown vote with the Biden
administration on literally every left wing policy that clearly did

(01:04:17):
not carry the weight of the day during a presidential
election year, prompting many on the Democratic side of the
ledger if they need to rethink their vision for America.
They lost so poorly, they lost the evil Orange man.
Oh my god, can you image the moment of reflection
that's going through every one of their collective minds. We
had this campaign, this this hate field campaign, and speaking

(01:04:39):
about lying, we have been hitting Donald Trump left and
right about the head and shoulders literally now for the
last four and a half five six years, when he
wasn't even in office. It was always evil Orange man.
He's the one responsible for legislation either being passed or
not being passed. It's all Trump, Trump, from Trump to
Trump just pounded in every man, woman, and child's system

(01:05:00):
now forever. And it didn't work. From their perspective, the
most evil human being on the planet beat their candidate.
They're candidate who also brought down the likes of Shared Brown,
and do we vote out Shared Brown because of well
Donald Trump? Did we vote out Shared Brown because Bernie

(01:05:23):
Marin was a better candidate? Did we vote out Shared Brown?
For who Shared Brown demonstrably was in cantil and still
continues to be the left wing nut job that he is.
I hope he enjoys retirement six forty six if you

Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
Brian, Thank you man.

Speaker 4 (01:08:51):
All right, a couple of things. You was talking about.
That bridge. I guess we call it the McDonald.

Speaker 1 (01:08:56):
Bridge, Yeah, the James Beard Bridge, the big mac bridge.

Speaker 4 (01:08:59):
Yeah, okay, is that northbound lane? Did it reopen or
is it still shut down?

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
Now? I had to be shut down, I guess till
March and I'm getting my north and southbound confused. Yeah,
I think it's the northbound. This is it the southbound
that shutdown today? Nay? Threw me off there, James. Either way, No,
that will be remain remain closed because they have to
get all the supplies to start doing the rebuilding and
apparently they can't find the steel, which is now scheduled

(01:09:28):
to be delivered in January, and they're going to expedite
the work on it. We've been told by O Dot
that the work will be done by March of next year.
So it's going to be a while, okay.

Speaker 4 (01:09:39):
And that leads to my point on that it's a
steel company right here in Meridia, Mississippi that does domestic steel.
I mean they send it to Japan and China build
a large bridges there. And I'm gonna take it up
on myself to go by there today to talk to
the offishes and see have they at any calls or

(01:10:01):
any contact with Cincinnati. And I'm gonna try to and
I may need you to help me to connect some
dots on me once I break it open to him,
because you know, I'm just a little peon down here.
But I'm gonna go into the front office today and
bring this up, yeah, and see if they interested in
looking into it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:19):
Well, tell you what, James get a leg up on
it good At WCPO dot com. That's where the article
from this morning's reporting came from. Jay Shaker wrote it
and the spokesperson is probably the one that needs to
have the question answer for. It's Kathleen Fuller from the
High Department of Transportation. She's the one that says, uh,

(01:10:40):
the biggest hold up is finding enough steel to custom
make new beams and girders. Now, that doesn't sound to
me like it's a specific custom type of steel. It's
just that there are apparently a lot of backlog on
repairs of other places who are ordering steel because the
hurricanes that went through. They say they expect the shipments
to arrive now in mid January because of these delays.

(01:11:02):
So it sounds like it's a multifaceted thing. But if
you've got a company down there that's manufacturing steel and
they're open for business and they can fill the order,
I don't see why not, man, So give it a shot.
But uh, yeah, you can find it. Just search search
for the Dan Beard Bridge and O Dot and Kathleen
fully You'll find a bunch of articles on it. But
I'd love for you, I'd love I bet they would

(01:11:24):
love for you to land the business for him. James
will give you all the credit in the world for
coming up with the idea.

Speaker 4 (01:11:30):
Now, is that is the name of it? The dan Beard. Yes, okay,
and let's do your CTO dan Beard Daniel.

Speaker 1 (01:11:38):
It's actually the full name is Daniel Carter Beard Bridge,
but if you just put Dan Beard Bridge in, uh,
he's the guy that founded the Boy Scouts of America.
So Daniel Carter Beard Bridge. But mac Bridge will probably
find this enough articles on it as well. My friend,
I hope you have a great day. Looking forward to
seeing you get back in town and stay on there

thanks for calling this morning.

Speaker 14 (01:13:44):
Good morning, Brian, uh Mississippi. James doesn't really have anything
to worry about. According to the local news, it's been
on there several times over last week. They had a
company company in Kentucky that's making these steal govers for them,
mac Bridge that it's not the problem that we don't

(01:14:04):
have the steel, it's just that it's not on the
shelf sitting there.

Speaker 1 (01:14:08):
With Yeah, you know, it's actually it does have to
be fabricated to specifications. And our collective friends. Drew Pappas
former trustee anders the township, just sent me a Facebook
message after James called and said, you know, actually turnaround time,
which if you're talking about turnaround time between now and

(01:14:28):
January for a special order fabricated piece of steel, that's
probably not that bad. I don't know. My response to
them was the same thing. I don't know anything about
steel manufacturing or production. I don't know anything about supply chains,
availability anything, so I'm I'm just reporting what I see
read in the papers. And they keep talking about this

(01:14:48):
being a delay. Well it's a big delay because we've
got steel supply chain, steel availability issues. Of course, that
allows one to draw a conclusion that those actually are problems.
Maybe not, Maybe it's just the normal course of buying
specific specified you know, two spec steel pieces. So probably
a good point, Jim and I appreciate coming up and

(01:15:09):
making and so appreciate it. Hearing from Drew on that
one as well. Oh, I don't know if I can't
get it all in today, because there's several different articles
that all just point in the same direction for me
and my absolute outright discussed over how we are just
killing ourselves over alledged carbon output and climate change, and

(01:15:32):
you have the whole thing, just several articles, and I
don't have to dive into the specifics of any one
of them. I can tell you where they came from.
There's Edward ring Uh. Climate Action has California's energy economy
on its knees headline while posturing for coastal progressives. Governor
Newsom punishes Central Valley farmers and industry, and he points

(01:15:55):
out all these ways that California is killing industry and
business and bringing about much much higher prices, driving away
companies and businesses, most notably in the area of patrollum
clearly in pursuit of reaching this net zero carbon emissions
by I guess twenty thirty five or twenty forty five.

(01:16:17):
You got another separate article, Britain is killing its auto
industry editorial board of the Wall Street Journal. Job losses
from ev mandates are manny across Europe. You know, you
can lead a horse to water, but you can't make
them drink. And that's literally what's happening with this ridiculous
forced feeding of electric vehicles down our throat. Stillanis shutting

(01:16:38):
a plant in Looton, north of London, imperiling eleven hundred jobs.
Stillanis also whereas their workers are having problems, Ford announced
it was cutting back eight hundred and fifty three hundred
jobs in Britain. Is part of the European restructuring of
Ford's business model. Nissan doing the same thing. They point

(01:17:01):
out the culprit the forced political march to electric vehicles.
People aren't buying them, so all of these jobs, you know,
people are pulling the plug on all these projects. And
then turn to this as I have been over perhaps overly,
and I will acknowledge perhaps some over optimism in connection
with Eva Gramma swimming Elon Musk in this Doze department

(01:17:24):
about cutting trillions of dollars out of the federal expenditure list.
I'm all in favor of that. And one of the
things that Donald Trump ran on as a candidate now
president elect again, Donald Trump ending President's Biden's Inflation Reduction Act,
i e. The Green New Deal that's cost us all
trillions of dollars. And here you have it, Scott Patterson

(01:17:47):
right into the Wall Street Journal headline, Trump vowed to
kill Biden's climate laws. Republicans say not so fast, sub headline.
Billions of dollars and tens of thousands of jobs are
at stake in red states. And here you go. Taking
me back to my comments about the F thirty five aircraft,
which is stupid. Elon Musk made the point the other
day that it's stupid. It's three billion or thirty five

(01:18:10):
billion dollars a pop, and you can buy gazillions worth
of unmanned drones that can equally, if not more, stealthily
enter into any environment and accomplish the job of a
thirty five billion dollar airplane. Two trillion dollars budgeted for
that particular aircraft. Into the future, everybody's going in the
opposite direction. They go mock one or one point five.

(01:18:32):
That's one and a half times the speed of sound,
and every supersonic hypersonic missile out there, like minimum goes
five times to speed of sound, sometimes north of double digits,
meaning if you can accurately pinpoint one of those on
an F thirty five rocket, whatever it costs to make
a hypersonic rocket, we'll knock down the thirty five billion
dollar F thirty five aircraft. So that's just me just

(01:18:55):
moving over to a point. Why would that program still
be in existence? Well, his jobs insertain states depend upon it. Oh,
you can't take away my project. That's my state. And
that's exactly what this article points out. All these states
are getting the massive infusions of taxpayer dollars and starting
up projects on the backs of you. In fact, even

(01:19:16):
the many oil and gas producing companies have joined on
this bandwagon. They point out this guy, Representative Buddy Carter
out of Georgia. He signed the letter along with eighteen
Republican House Matters members sent to Mike Johnson Speaker asking
him to well stick with the incentives for these clean
energy products and the Inflation Reduction Act. Buddy Carter, sign

(01:19:40):
the letter said that while he thought the IRA was
a bad idea, he doesn't support the full repeal. We
need to just look at it instead of taking a
sledge hammer to it. We need to dissect it carefully
to see what might be in there that's working anthetically.
His home state, Georgia as the highest number of clean

(01:20:04):
energy projects and jobs funded by the IRA, including a
seven point six billion dollar Hundai Motor Group manufacturing complex
to make yes electric vehicles in Buddy Carter's district. The

(01:20:24):
powerful corn lobby also mentioned a peculiar topic I brought
up with Congressman Massy when we were talking about him
maybe becoming the ag secretary. He didn't, But when I
pointed out, maybe he is the cultural secretary. You can
just shut the whole thing down and at least get
rid of the ethanol mandate. North Dakota one of the

(01:20:45):
ARIA America's top producers of ethanol. Yeah, the corn based
gasoline substitute. Question out loud, why wohen we have gazillions
of untapped reserves of oil that could be pulled out
the ground that we are currently pulling out of the ground,
that could go to refineries and turn into gasoline. There
is no shortage. This isn't peak oil time back in

(01:21:08):
the seventies, where every ounce that comes out of the
ground is all we've got left. Wrong, We've proven that
to be a falsehood. So since we've got adequate oil reserves,
and supplies, and how we're doing businesses with countries like oh,
I don't know, Venezuela and others that don't share exactly
our political ideology. Why would we be doing business with
them instead of pulling it out of our own ground

(01:21:29):
where it's done cheaper and cleaner. Don't know. But the
idea of putting corn into your gas tank is born
of this nonsense and it doesn't pull any carbon or
the environment. The corn lobby makes a ton of money
on making us on the mandate that we burn a
certain amount of ethanol in our gas tanks for reasons

(01:21:50):
that I don't quite understand, but because of regulations, that's
what we're doing. And of course North Dakota they're one
of the biggest producers of ethanol. Not really high on
the whole idea of getting rid of the credits for
the ethanol producers, the farmers that grow corn for us
to put in our gas tanks for no reason whatsoever.

(01:22:12):
And then there's all these carbon capture products, which is
really just a way of taking your exhalation out and
sticking it into the ground or something. North Dakota, this
god is going to be one of the big winners
of the Carbon Capture and Sequestration program. Congressmen Bergham's on
this one. He said, the state has the capacity to
store two hundred and fifty billion tons of carbon dioxide underground,

(01:22:35):
and it'll be a boon for the state's coffers from
the revenues. We can't take that away. We can't out
loud point out the stupidity of taking plant food out
of the atmosphere as small of a percentage as it is,
because well, North Dakota is somehow going to suffer financially
because they created whole cloth something called carbon capture in

(01:22:58):
the name of taking a naturally occurring gas out of
the atmosphere and turn it into a money making industry
that makes money only because you, the American taxpayer, are
footing the bill for it. You think Republicans that be
stepping up to the challenge. No, it's time for that
crap to go. Get off the government to teach or

(01:23:19):
umbilical cord if you find that less offensive, but just
get away from it. Nope, Nope, not when it comes
to special interest in money making for states, this is
where uh promises and delivery tend to run headlong. Five

It is seven and a very happy Monday to you.
Always made an extra special happy because could talked to
the former vice mayor of the city since Sinnat, Christopher Smith.
Amen get the Smither event. Welcome back, Christopher. It's great
having you on my program. And I hope you had
a fantastic Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (01:26:18):
I did, brother happy you know, Thanksgiving again to your family.
And I've been listening and you know it was. It
was a relaxing Thanksgiving. I tell you, there's so much
to pick from this morning to talk about. I'm going
to start with President Biden and him doing this part

(01:26:40):
and of his son. It really underscores to me the
level of corruption that has come from this White House.
Anybody looking at this on its face would say, well,
your dad doing a pardon of his son. Is a
conflict of interest to do it, and to go back

(01:27:03):
a decade and basically say, listen, you can't go after
my son anything that he did, maybe with China, anything
he did sitting on the board of one of these companies,
as it relates to contracts, to the gun charges, to
the laptop, it doesn't really matter. And this is why
the everyday citizen Brian out there has all of these

(01:27:27):
feelings about politics and the dardiness of it. Imagine what
they'll say. And I don't know if this will happen.
If President elect Trump on his first day says I'm
going to parton all of the January sixth, people who
are arrested, who are in jail, who are awaiting trial.

(01:27:48):
I mean, what exactly will CNN and msnbcay, MSNBC say
about that? And so that's the frustrating part for me
on the way out. And it was something that clearly
President Biden said he wasn't going to do. But if
the elections had consequences, in his mind, he thought maybe
he would win. He thought maybe Vice President Harris would win.

(01:28:10):
They didn't win. Uh, Trump won, and he understood that
on January twenty. If that Trump would not parton his son,
so he had to do it in his mind to
protect his son from criminal prosecution.

Speaker 1 (01:28:24):
Yeah, I can't disagree at all with the summary in
the way you put it. And uh, you know, I
I pointed out early in the program. Listen, he said
multiple occasions, Joe Biden came out of his mouth. He
had his press secretary reiterate his statements he will not
pardon his son period in his story. You know, he's thought,
you know, uh, that's kind of a dumb thing to

(01:28:44):
say out loud. If you really had in the back
of your mind that you might do it, that some
circumstance might show up that might push you in the
need to need to pardon them category, wouldn't it have
been better to say, you know, I'm gonna take a
wait and see approach. I'm gonna let the wheels of
justice spin out. I'm gonna see how things land and go.
And you know, I believe in law and order, but
I'm just not going to comment on it right now.

(01:29:05):
So how people would have said, oh, he's definitely going
to pardon his son, but so what you know, people
didn't believe him when he said he was not going
to pardon his son. Except for all the talking heads
on CNN and elsewhere. Now they got to eat their
words and don't go on the air now completely contradicting
themselves and talking about how awesome it is and how
appropriate it is for him to pardon Hunter Biden, because
nobody would ever get prosecuted for what Hunter Biden did.

(01:29:29):
No one would go to jail for falsifying an FFL form,
no one would be prosecuted for not paying a million
plus dollars in taxes. And that's just the ones that
they still had him on because they slow walk the
earlier investigation involving literally millions and millions of other dollars. No,
nothing to see here. Yeah, well, now we get to

(01:29:49):
bring it all back up and remind the American people
of how hypocritical they are and how ridiculous this this
thing is, and how much bloody favoritism there is as
long as you are connected and well connected, like the
Biden family is. Hold on, Christopher, I know I went
out there and you got me cranked up. So let's pause,
we'll bring you back, and I'll turn the floor back
over to you for the spleen ben seven twenty six, Right, Now,

(01:30:11):
if you have CARECD talk station or minind folks about
affordable medical imaging because imaging does not have to cost
you thousands of dollars. Talk about it all the time.
How much money you can save by having an MRI,
CT scan, echo cardiogram, ultra sound, lung screening, or cardiac
scoring done at affordable imaging services where the overhead is low.
It's low overhead, the equipment's the same, the experienced level

(01:30:33):
of people operating it is the same as a hospital
imaging department, and it's the demonstrably lower price. CT scan
with a contrast is six hundred dollars. Okay, set you
back five grand and you get a separate bill. You
go to the hospital, you probably get a separate bill
for the board certified radiologist. They have to have a report.
Your doctor needs it, and it it's included. When you

(01:30:54):
go to affordable imaging. Everyone's included has a board certified
radiologist report. MRI with a contrast six forty five. You
don't need a contrast, it's only four in a ninety
five bucks. Echo cardiogram ford at a ninety five bucks
and an Ultra sounds two fifty amazing difference call the hospital,
ask them how much it's gonna cost you. You may
get the run around, but you need to know what
the price is going to be after insurance payment. And

(01:31:15):
I bet it's going to be more out of your
pocket with an insurance payment then the whole thing would
cost you at Affordable Imaging Services, and that doesn't mean
it won't be covered by insurance. Five on three seven,
five three eight thousand. You have a choice, go where
you want five one three seven five three eight thousand.

Speaker 1 (01:32:24):
Station seven fifty five ker CD talk station Right tell
Us with Christopher Smithman doing the Christopher smither and Us
is on your mind today? Christopher, my friend.

Speaker 2 (01:32:36):
Well, the Daniel pennycase out of New York with Prosecutor Braggs.
I'm going to talk about it maybe with with with
two different points. One, I think he's innocent. And when
you think about people, and this is a case for
the public listening where the military vet saved or protected

(01:32:58):
people that were on a Subwaying on how you look
at it, that's how I see it. The man got
on the subway, said he was going to kill people,
didn't care whether what happened to him, if he killed people,
whatever his rhetoric was, it was clear that the people
who testified in that trial said that they're felt like
their lives were in danger. I think that Brags brought

(01:33:19):
this case because the veteran was white and the victim
was black. And see what we're bathing in in this country,
in this identity politics, Brian, is that we can't even
see the truth right in front of us because we're
bathing in race. And so the reality of it is
that you have these jurors who are going to make

(01:33:40):
a decision probably this week. I hope they have the
common sense to come to the conclusion that no security
on these trains, the crime that's going crazy in New
York and somebody getting on a subway saying they're going
to kill people and someone taking action doesn't mean that
they intentionally did anything. That's at the heart of it

(01:34:02):
is did he intentionally mean to kill this person? And
he didn't, And so this is all politically motivated by
the prosecutor, and for me, it's just shameful. And I
tell you, if they find him guilty, no one will intervene.

Speaker 11 (01:34:18):
Dah.

Speaker 1 (01:34:19):
I was waiting for that, no one will intervene. I
was waiting to tell.

Speaker 2 (01:34:23):
You many people across the country will not intervene. So
a lot of people are watching this and they're saying,
you know, hey, you get into it. You know, you're
out there shopping in one of the malls and somebody
starts screaming, they're going to kill somebody, kill somebody. Hey,
don't look for a lot of people to get involved.
If they find this man guilty in New York.

Speaker 1 (01:34:44):
See, I think that is maybe a larger chunk of
what they're trying to accomplish on this. Then the whole
racial thing, that whole racial element may have allowed them
to elevate this case to national attention where it would
have been probably ignored if it was black on black
or white on white. But the broader issue here, as
for example, Second Amendment rights become more and more enshrined

(01:35:09):
in even states where they would love to take those
rights away from you. More and more people are going
to be armed. And if you can't even defend your
fellow human being, your fellow New york or with your
bare hands from an attack, a violent attack, how often
do you think people would actually raise their Second Amendment
right and firearm to defend people from deadly, deadly violence

(01:35:31):
or the threat of eminent apprehension of grievous bodily harm
or death. People are I'm not using my gun, I'm
gonna get prosecuted for that. And you know damn well
that a lot of prosecutors out there would go ahead
and do that. Oh, sure, you saved a life, but
here we're going to break down and analyze every bit
of minutia in this case, forcing you to have to
lawyer up to the tune of I don't know what

(01:35:53):
a lawyer's going to cost you in New York, probably
five hundred plus dollars an hour to defend you. You
can't afford that. You roll over and yet into a
plea agreement, So they get their little prosecutorial feather in
their cab and further reduces someone's potential to defend their
fellow man from a violent attack.

Speaker 2 (01:36:11):
And then at the end of all of this, you know,
this veteran who stepped in to save lives, what was
he supposed to do? Wait until the guy started killing.
Somebody says, I'm going to kill people, and it doesn't
matter to me what happens to me after I kill people.
So he intervenes what happens to his life after this trial?

(01:36:33):
I didn't know who Daniel Penny was. But now you've
got his face everywhere on every major newspaper calling him
essentially a racist, saying that this is a guy who
intervened in a way that he shouldn't have intervened. So
he's going to have to put his life back together.
What's going to be interesting to me is if he
turns around and starts filing some lawsuits against people who

(01:36:55):
put stuff out that just weren't wasn't true. So my
frustration in these case to the public, wait until you
hear the evidence. When I hear are diverse people grid
you know, it wasn't just white people on that dog
on train. There were black and white people on that train.
And everybody who testified said I thought my life was
in danger. I was scared. I was really worried. We

(01:37:18):
appreciate this man coming to our age. And it didn't
matter the gender, it didn't matter the race. It was
about their life, and they were saying my life was
in danger.

Speaker 1 (01:37:29):
See, and that therein lies the point everybody felt reasonably
so that their life was in danger. That is the
point in time at which the use of deadly force
is legally justified. If some guy just looks at you
sideways on the subway train. You can't pull a gun
out or put them in a headlock and crack their

(01:37:50):
neck or whatever happened. You can't do it. But if
your life, you are fearing for your life, then that's
when deadly force is possible. I can't believe this case
is even seen the light of trial. Obviously we talked
about politically motivated cases. What the ultimate reason behind it
is leaves us to speculate, given the facts in the
case and what you just spelled out for everyone. But

(01:38:11):
it seems like a travesty of justice that this poor
man's been drugged through the system along these lines, and
hopefully justice will prevail. He'll walk out a free man,
and everybody that got well, had their lives saved perhaps
from him, can throw them a big party in celebration.
Pauls will bring you right back, Chris, for I know
we got a little bit more to talk about. It
is seven thirty five right now, and speaking of your

(01:38:31):
Second Amendment rights, I was at twenty two to three
firearms ranging gunshop on Friday morning with my neighbor Beth,
and my neighbor Beth wanted to buy a firearm for
her awesome husband, good friends of ours, and see I
can say this out loud, it's not a surprise. He
knew she was going to get it, but she asked
me out front, you know where can I get this

(01:38:52):
particular gun? I said, hold on, let me make a
quick call. So I got in touch with Wendy. About
two days later. It was in the store waiting for
her to pick it up. So we made a nice
out there. She got herself a case of Ammo at
ten percent off on top of the already competitive prices
at twenty two three. I'm not sure if that special
is still going on. It's sure worth or call out there,
because boy, what a great deal on the nine millimeter

(01:39:12):
Ammo she bought, and a great deal on the firearm itself.
So nice purchase for her. She's going to have a
happy husband at Christmas time. At least I know he's
happy already. I'll watched him open it up to make
sure she got the right one back in the box.
It went so andy. Just stare at it underneath the
tree and look forward to the day after Christmas. But
beyond that huge selection of firearms, great indoor range membership options,

(01:39:33):
the prices are always again very very competitive. So it's
on route Route forty two between Mason and Lebanon Route
forty two between Mason eleven. Find them online. You can
learn all about the store and the folks that are there,
who are truly wonderful. It's twenty two three. The number
twenty two by the word followed by the word three

Speaker 1 (01:40:01):
Seven thirty nine coming up on seven forty ifif you've
got Ker City Talk Station. Brian Thomas Swift, former City
of Cincinnati Vice Mayor. That is Christopher Smith with the
Smith Event. Real quick, Christopher, even though I just got
back from vacation, I just want to know you had
a time. I'm off next Monday. Retired Colonel Bob Kattyre.
And I know you've met Bob before. He's done some

(01:40:22):
active shooter safety training classes and some wine care classes
and just a really all round brilliant guy and an
amazing military career he had. I'm going to shoot fifty
caliber rifles with him out at Camp Atterbury in Indiana. Again.
I had a wonderful time doing that. So I've got
a book to do next Monday, so I'm going to

(01:40:43):
be off work next Monday. Just a heads up. I
want to let you know.

Speaker 4 (01:40:46):
Ahead of you got it. Thank you so much, so much. Brother.

Speaker 2 (01:40:48):
Let me let me share with you something that's controversial,
which was the OSU game. I want everybody to know.
I graduated from the Ohio State University and obviously you
know people who are in the sports, like even myself,
but I have family that are saw that game at
the end and saw the fight break out here.

Speaker 1 (01:41:09):
Iched the whole thing. I thought about you multiple times
during that game. First off, the fact that they lost
the game ten and one, what was it six and
five team or something like that, Michigan arch Rivals, and
they still came in and beat Ive State. I was
in a room with fans who are rabbid Ohio State
football fans. Their bad bubble was burst, and then at

(01:41:32):
the end of the game, that's when that flag posting
ceremony tried to take place, resulting in this big brawl.
I was screaming the television, going, what a bunch of
children just behaving like absolute children, And he and my
friend Andy was defending the the teardown of how dare
they plant that flag? How dare they that sacred ground?

(01:41:52):
And I'm going scratching my head, going, oh, come on. Anyway,
that was my experience. I don't want to steal any
of your thunder, but I watched the whole thing, So
go ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:42:00):
You know what I want to say is I think
we're at this place in our culture with these young
people where they just simply don't understand the standard that
the standard bears that they must be even in the
midst of complete cast Let me make it clear what
Michigan did to provoke wrong and most likely authorities that

(01:42:22):
are over these football teams need to stop it, not
allow what to happen. I don't know, but at the
end of the day, right, these young men have to
learn how to conduct themselves. If you look at coaches
forty fifty years ago, they had control of these players,
players would not be out there fighting, punching each other

(01:42:43):
in the face. Ultimately, where people had to be made
in order to break up what was happening.

Speaker 1 (01:42:50):
They were running by on the field coming awful life.

Speaker 2 (01:42:52):
Sorry, and so what I want to say what Michigan did,
in my opinion, was wrong. It was evocative, But we
have to discipline our young people to be able to
handle that type of you know, that type of thing
that's happening, so that their emotional behavior. They're not out there, No,
they're not out there on national TV. Then you saw

(01:43:14):
it happen at the NFL level. It did job it
was it was then then it then just bled over
into the other games. I'm just saying, we're better than this.
It's a football game. It's entertainment at the end of
the day, and we have to make sure that we
are setting an example for the generation behind us. I mean,
we've got football games all over all over our city

(01:43:37):
where where you and I live, all over our county
where you and I live. We don't want to see
young people engaging in this behavior, even when they believe
that something they've been harmed. Let your coach go sort
it out, you know, let the let the the administrators
on the sideline sort it out. Not you go out
there and say I'm going to solve this myself by

(01:43:58):
starting to punch players in the state. I just think
we're getting into a place, Brian Thomas, in our society, man,
where anything goes we can call each other anything. We
can mock each other in any kind of way.

Speaker 4 (01:44:11):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:44:12):
I'm just saying, we've got to get to the point
where we can control ourselves. That's my that's a person civility,
And I want to end by just saying what former
President Biden has done, right in my opinion, is shameful,
and what it's going to do is going to open up.
I don't want to hear anything from the left as

(01:44:35):
an independent when President Trump takes office on January twentieth
and starts sending out the partons that he probably will
send out Brian Thomas, because I see CNN and MSNBC
saluting this behavior, I'm saying this was a bad look
from the White House. There have been a lot of
bad looks, but this was another bad look.

Speaker 1 (01:44:55):
In my opinion, I agree with you completely. And the
predicate for part of it was him, but Joe President
Biden saying this was unfair treatment, that nobody else would
have been drugged through the dirt like this, and if
it wasn't his son, that they would have been given
a pass. He would have been given time to make
good on his tax payments, and he could have unrung
the bell of the form or whatever, and wouldn't have

(01:45:17):
faced prosecution or in prison time. And I'm gonna say, well, okay,
move away from that subject matter and look at the
January sixth protesters. Now, if you go in and you
beat someone over the head with a flagpole, that's a battery.
You deserve to maybe go to jail for something like that.
But just walking into the Capitol building because you were
invited by members of law enforcement who apparently didn't think

(01:45:38):
it was that big of a deal and strolled around
and looked around and didn't do anything that you would
be prosecuted and ended up in jail. Oh, come on,
that is not gonna happen really under any other circumstance
except for the involvement of Donald Trump supporters and this
idea of overturning the election. Those folks have been ill

(01:45:58):
treated and mistreated in their Some people riding away in
jail who would never be there under any other comparable circumstances.
Go ahead, see all of the property destruction and violence
from the anti file folks and the folks who took
over buildings and burned them to the ground, who through
molotov cocktails and frozen water bottles, a member of law

(01:46:19):
enforcement who destroyed police cars. You know, don't know that
any umfaced prosecution. You certainly didn't read about it much.
But wow, you walk around the Capitol Building on January
firsta and you are a hardcore fellon who needs to
be locked up for as long as possible.

Speaker 2 (01:46:34):
And I want to say, if you talk to African
American voters, right, and they would tell you over the
last thirty forty years, there's a sense that there were
people who were over prosecuted for things like low amounts
of marijuana in California, who spent four or five ten

(01:46:57):
years of their life for very small out of marijuana.
As an example, they wake up this morning seeing the
President of the United States, the Democrat, right, who many
of them probably voted for, saying I'm going to partner
my son for things he actually did and I'm not
even going to let him be prosecuted, and I'm going

(01:47:18):
to do it over a ten year window of time.
I'm saying, what do you think Biden is doing? You
think Biden is looking at these on the margin cases
that probably he should really extend some pardons to people
that are not his family members who probably were over prosecuted.
And by the way, what really set this election on

(01:47:39):
fire in many parts of the African American community was
they were saying, look at what they're doing to former
President Trump with this lawgate stuff, this over prosecution. I'm
going to take your property in New York. I'm going
to put you in jail. Whatever the Lawgate cases were,
there were a lot of African American voters that said,

(01:48:00):
if that could happen to Trump, it could happen to me.
Well guess what it was happening to some of them.
And Biden won't even look at those cases. My friend,
my brother Brian Thomas, the only case that he's concerned
about is his son and his son who has broken
the law for at least the last decade and most
likely doing the bidding of his father.

pain once and for all? Can you see kinetics patients
are able to walk up, walk up and downstairs down,
get up with that struggling when they formally had problems
with that. That's right, knee pain, hip pain, shoulder pain.

(01:49:03):
You've been going through that. You got to say goodbye
to it. Try a different way, because right there your
surgeon is standing there with a knife saying surgery time. Well,
you got another option. That's QC kinetics. Medical professionals waiting
to talk to you about treatments in the office with
no downtown events. Protocols in regenerative medicine have helped tens
of thousands of people, apparently with lasting relief. So imagine

(01:49:26):
a new year without the achy joints. Q SE kinetics
healing properties of your own body, and they place them
in the root cause of your pain, right there where
the pain is revalutizing your joints so you can move again.
It's future of medicine. So you've been told surgery is
your only option or you have to stick stuck with
pain pills, and there's another way. And it's a free consultation.

I'll say it doesn't ruin my weekend when they lose.
I'm not that rabbit about it, but it does. Being
from Cincinnati, you just kind of tend to get sucked
into all of the whatever you can grab onto that
may have a shot of winning something.

Speaker 1 (01:50:57):
And yet again here we are well and it was
the prison zumed outcome it. Ohigo State was going to
walk away with that when having a ten and one record,
and obviously that didn't happen. I was in a room
with two of the most rabid Ohio State football fans
you could ever find on the planet, so it was
a rather interesting afternoon for us. Anyhow. Well, though, everybody.

Speaker 13 (01:51:17):
Should remember there is a school fighting for a championship
with the name Ohio in it. The fighting Ohio Bobcats
go against Miami here next weekend. So you Ohio State fans,
if you feel like you're out of it, grab a
green Ohio for a little bit.

Speaker 1 (01:51:30):
And my daughter has two degrees from the Ohio State University,
so it doesn't mean a whit's worth of anything to
me at all. And you're not gonna buy what I
just said. No, no, I'm not going to buy what
you just said. Doesn't matter anyhow, real quick here, I
just mentioned it going to the break, And I'm not sure.
You're obviously a financial planner, but I don't know how
closely you follow futures markets. Apparently, if you were invested
in the futures markets with coffee, coffee prices are up

(01:51:55):
seventy percent so far this year. Apparently they're global problems
with dry conditions and crop yield and all that. But
when I think about coffee, you know, you think about
what I consider an absolute waste of money, spending five
six seven dollars for a cup of coffee the Starbucks.
Can you imagine it going up seventy percent? I mean,

(01:52:16):
is that even possible?

Speaker 13 (01:52:18):
You know, it'll be interesting to see it. And it's been,
like you said, it's been up that way all year long.
And every time I drive by my local neighborhood Starbucks,
the line is out the door. It's not the most
intelligently organized parking lot, so the cars extend almost out
on the Cincinnati Dayton Road. But yeah, so I think
Starbucks for whatever reason, has a hold on society in

(01:52:38):
a way that not a lot of companies do, where
people just say, Okay, I guess that's what it's costs,
and I have to have it, so therefore we're going
to wait in this line and pay a little bit more.

Speaker 3 (01:52:46):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:52:47):
I still go back to the fact that I can
basically brew like thirty five pots of coffee for about
thirteen dollars worth of dark roasted coffee from Starbucks. Make
it at home. It tastes great anyway. Moving over to
migration trends, the top states people are moving to are
Southern states, and immediately bursting the bubble of why I

(01:53:10):
guess people would be moving to Southern states, very tiny
percentage one percent say they're moving there because of the weather.
I walked outside today, you know, walking into eighteen degree
blast the cold there, and I come in and I
see that as your number one topic today is well,
of course they're moving to Southern states. Who what's the
deal with this crap? Nope, that's not it so yet,

(01:53:32):
not for the reasons we're used to it.

Speaker 13 (01:53:33):
And I think the thing the interesting part about this
article is normally when we talk about this stuff, it's
usually under the guise of where are people retiring to? Well,
this article is a little bit different. This is just
talking people in general, where are they moving to? So
this comes from the National Association of Realtors twenty twenty
four Migration Trends report. Only one percent of people who
moved cited climate related reasons for the relocation. The biggest reason,

(01:53:56):
Brian was a forty two percent said housing related reason. Yeah,
twenty six percent said they're going to be closer to family.
Only about sixteen percent said they're moving for job opportunities.
So many many different reasons here, and some of these
I got to look at that. Remember this this survey
covered everybody who moved. So those who moved to be
closer to family, my guess is going to be someone

(01:54:18):
younger in their family already moved to these states because
he's also happened to be where the growth is happening.
And so older folks followed the people who moved for
job reasons.

Speaker 1 (01:54:25):
Which seems like a retirement related trend. And we have
dear friends who've done exactly that. You know, they're retired
and then their sons or daughters end up employed in
Colorado or wherever, and they're like, well, we're moving want
to be closer to the grand should want to be
closer to the children. Understand all day long about that.
But housing and housing is so damn expensive. We know
there's a housing shortage. It just seems to me and

(01:54:46):
I pray for the people in West Virginia all the
time on a theoretical level, just because you know, West
Virginia is never on the top ten in anything except
for bad economic outcomes and numbers. But wow, if you're
looking for housing affordability, I mean, that seems to be
one of the states to go to. But their net
out migration is four thousand people during this survey part,

(01:55:07):
so they're losing more people than gaining them. They are,
but that's.

Speaker 13 (01:55:11):
Where you know, think about the basic principles of economics,
supply and demand. People are demanding houses, and you want
to cheap house with them. That's an area you might look.
Now that's going to come along with some struggles and
some frustrations as some of the amenities you might be
looking for aren't going to exist there because that's what
drives demand for housing in specific areas. But there is
there are reasons to move to those places and that's

(01:55:32):
one of them.

Speaker 1 (01:55:32):
All right, Well, fair enough. Now we're moving over to
something that's kind of quickly going the way to the
dough though it's been around for a while, but a
lot of major companies are getting rid of their diversity
equity inclusion departments. And I know, at least my personal standpoint,
you have a fiduciary obligation as a financial planner to

(01:55:55):
your clients to maximize the return on the money you
are and have invested for them. And moving to woke investing,
investing that looks more at the company's diversity policies. Equity
and inclusion policies is not a recipe for sound financial planning,
and more and more investors are moving away from that

(01:56:15):
because they do view it as a breach of their
fiduciary obligations. But the idea of even having a diversity
equity inclusion department and the problems that brings abound within
these companies isn't a great business model, so they're moving
away from it.

Speaker 13 (01:56:29):
Yeah, So the headline here is a lot of big
companies are swinging back from the focus they've taken on
these DEI, which stands for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives,
and a lot of this is coming from conservative.

Speaker 1 (01:56:40):
Groups, state legislatures, just political pressure. So here's some examples.
Walmart announced that they're no longer going.

Speaker 13 (01:56:46):
To be participating in the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index.
They've also discontinued selling LGBTQ related items on their website
as well as they've stopped a lot of the racial
equity training, and they've limited the term latin X from
from their their their glossary there. Molsen cores similar similar decisions.

(01:57:07):
Ford Motor Company h has removed hiring quotas, Harley Davidson,
and Low's all these companies have actually made active decisions
in very at very recent times here to reduce the
exposure they've got to these initiatives. Now, per what you
just said, Yeah, I very much agree that the you know,
it can be important to investors. And I have clients
for whom DEI is important. It's just their beliefs and

(01:57:28):
we can we can handle that in certain ways. I
also have clients who have the opposite belief and and
feel that there should be you know, restrictions among companies
on some other things.

Speaker 1 (01:57:39):
We can invest that way too.

Speaker 13 (01:57:40):
However, none of it has anything to do with a
decision you would make or your success in in retiring,
because you're simply adding a layer. All that matters when
you're when you're trying to retire really is mass and
it's profitability. You're adding a layer that does not impact
profitability in a positive way.

Speaker 1 (01:57:57):
No matter what you do.

Speaker 13 (01:57:58):
If you're going to add some kind of political beliefs
to the overall managery for portfolio, you are not helping
yourself retire, not necessarily hurting, but it's not going to
put you in a better position. I think a lot
of people feel like if I have a certain type
of portfolio that eliminates this, it will perform better because
those are bad things. That's not the case, right, because
the profitability comes from much different things than that.

Speaker 1 (01:58:18):
Well. Be like, if you want, as a matter of morality,
you can take your money out of Raytheon or any
one of the other military industrial complex companies which seem
to be doing pretty well right now and given the world,
or you can say I don't want to participate in
climate change, so I'm not going to invest in refining
companies or oil companies, although if you had, you might
find that those provide an even better return than something else.

(01:58:40):
So I understand making it as a personal choice, but
it will have an impact on your overall earnings over
the years period. End of story. So you're entitled to
do that.

Speaker 13 (01:58:51):
They're spending money on these programs, and this both emboldens
my faith and the overall stock market and increases my
or reinforces my cynisis in the world as a whole.
Because here's what's happening. Think of how quickly this headline
came up on the headline or on the on the
tail of the presidential election. Here, we've just had a
massive political swing and pretty much notibate about it. The

(01:59:12):
US has swung more conservative and uh, and that that
comes with a lot of thought processes that would eliminate
these types of programs. We are eliminating things that swung
into effect during the Obama administration. So you got to think,
why are companies doing this. Are they doing this because
they think it's good for society or they think it's
good for profitability or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:59:33):
The answer is all profitability.

Speaker 13 (01:59:35):
But every single time that the prevailing wins right now
are conservative, that means get rid of our DEI programs.
And I'm rest assured if ten ten years from now
it swings back the other way, they're going to come
roaring right back.

Speaker 1 (01:59:45):
Yes, they will, no doubt about that. They always roll
with the punches, whatever punches they're dealt with, and they
do as best they can to make money under any environment,
and that's the way it should be. I guess I
just wonder, you know, I'm looking at the history and
what happened to bud Light and how that had totally
blown them out of the water in terms of people's
enjoyment of bud Light as a beverage because of that

(02:00:06):
Dylan mulvainy thing. Jaguar didn't obviously learn a lesson from
that one. With the most recent ad campaign featuring a
whole bunch of people and no product. It was all
woke sort of people in crazy colored clothes and gender
neutral and all this, and the backlash was amazing, sort
of Dylan mulvaney bud Light esque. But the funniest part

(02:00:28):
about it is they didn't even feature any of their cars.

Speaker 13 (02:00:32):
It's funny you mentioned bud Light because with one of
the companies in the list we just highlighted before that
cited in this article is Mulsen Core.

Speaker 1 (02:00:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (02:00:39):
Now that sounds like two relatively smaller brands of beer.
But remember that's also Miller Lite. So Miller Lte learned
a lot more from the bud Light debacle than bud
Light did it. I would say they were able to
quietly say, huh, look what happened to those guys, Well,
let's go nowhere near that, and they never got dragged
in the headlines.

Speaker 1 (02:00:54):
See that's a sound business decision. We'll bring Brian James
back more with Money Monday, we're to talk about your
appropriate allocations in your retirement plan and Black Friday apparently
breaking some sales records. Will there be any more brick
and mortar stores down the road. Let's just excuse me.
This is money money. Let me mention Foreign Exchange because,

(02:01:15):
as I always like to mention, the bottom line is
your bottom line at Foreign Exchange the Westchester locations where
I recommend it. Take your traditional manufactured imported car or Now,
congratulations for all those guys at Foreign Exchange getting certified
to fix Teslas. So you Tesla owners down there have
an opportunity to save some money when you're having your
automobile repaired. Foreign Exchange full warranty on parts and service

(02:01:37):
ase certified master technicians working on your car, and less
money to have it fixed compared to the dealer. It's
always the case. I have learned over the years how
much money I have saved at Foreign Exchange, which I
love recommending them to you. They will treat you great.
Austin has an amazing team at Foreign Exchange. Think about
getting your car service for winter. Have the battery check
to have the fluid levels taken care of. Get ahead

(02:01:59):
of the you're gonna face when you're in a sub
zero condition like oh, eighteen degrees in a parking lot
when you wake up in the morning. You don't want
a situation where your car doesn't function. Get ahead of it.
Have it checked out at Foreign Exchange. So better than
the dealer because you save a heapload of money. Again,
the full warranty on parts and service foreign X. That's
foreign the letter X dot com. Tylersville exit off of
seventy five. Go east Tylersville East off seventy five, two

(02:02:23):
streets hanging right on Kinglin. You are at the Westchester location,
and that is where my wife and I take our cars.
Head on over there. Tell them, Brian said, HOHI whan
you do fifty five car the talk station? Should I
have eight twenty one fifty five PARACD talk station. Brian
Thomas with all Worth Financials, Brian Change doing money Monday. Hey, Brian,
seems to me we talk about this think during our last

(02:02:46):
conversation about your allocations and your retirement plan, and this
Baron's article suggests you should have no more than sixty
percent of your retirement money in stocks.

Speaker 13 (02:02:57):
Yeah, this is another case of read the article as
well as the headline. But the headline is why no
more than sixty percent of your retirement money belongs in stocks?

Speaker 1 (02:03:05):
Now, First off, this was.

Speaker 13 (02:03:07):
Written by a gentleman named Mark Hulbert, who is a
he's a financial analyst. I've seen him before. He is
in his late fifties himself, so he has sneaking up on.
It's not that great of a sacrifice for him to
say that to make this commitment. So, but his argument
is that no one's sixty percent should be invested in stocks,
and he's comparing it to what he calls the glide
pass strategy, which is what a lot of people do.

(02:03:28):
When I'm the younger, I am, the more aggressive I
am and then slowly making that more conservative over time.
His assessment is that his analysis shows that a constant
sixty forty stock bond allocation often outperforms the glide pass
strategy over a forty year period. Now, that doesn't match
anything I've ever read in my thirty years in this industry.
So when you read further into this article, if your

(02:03:50):
eyes haven't glazed over yet, what you see is that
he's using data going all the way back to seventeen
ninety three.

Speaker 1 (02:03:56):
Holy So, which is interesting. I've not seen this study
like this.

Speaker 4 (02:04:00):
Now.

Speaker 13 (02:04:01):
Most of the time we talk about market history, we're
usually looking at data, and you'll see references in the
vineprint that it talks about nineteen twenty six forward, because
that's about as far back as you can go and
have something that kind of sorder resembles the S and
P five hundred with enough stocks.

Speaker 1 (02:04:15):
In it, and also in a time you know prior
to that era, and you know, obviously this takes us
up to the Nixon administration, but back in an era
when money actually was tied to a commodity like gold
or silver. And it seems to me, not having any
experience in all this, that change in the theat currency
might also have had some sort of market impact over

(02:04:37):
the years, so the parallels maybe not exactly the same.

Speaker 13 (02:04:41):
Absolutely, and you just clued into why I'm kind of
discounting this entire article because he's pulling stuff out of
history when the environment was simply different. I think the
biggest point of this, Brian is the large period of
time he's looking at includes all of the nineteenth century,
the eighteen hundreds, where bonds were the way that investors
and businesses got.

Speaker 1 (02:04:59):
Access to capital. It wasn't by stocks.

Speaker 13 (02:05:02):
Stocks were considered speculative and too risky.

Speaker 1 (02:05:05):
Excuse me. Bonds were the way to do it.

Speaker 13 (02:05:07):
If you gave stocks away, if you sold stocks, you
gave up equity in your company. Now we solved that
in the twentieth century by creating share class upon share class.
Upon share class, you had a shares, B shares, C shares,
preferred shares. You didn't have to give up your voting
rights to sell those shares. Nowadays, and it's become clear
that you can make a lot more money by creating

(02:05:27):
an enormous amount of hype around a startup company, getting
the stock to bounce early on, and then flipping it
within the first few years of existence of the company,
versus selling thirty year bonds.

Speaker 1 (02:05:37):
So I'm not buying this article out. I'm with you
on that, and that to me, see that to me
illustrates more than anything that this is. It's not connected
with reality. You know, memes stocks can make people millions
of dollars and the companies aren't worth Jack Squad. We
aren't looking at pe ratios anymore. We're just looking at
like sort of flavor of the moment where you jump in,
take advantage, and jump out. Now, that's the way it works.

(02:06:00):
I'm not saying it's illegal to do it, but you
got to remember what you're doing does not bear any
connection with the reality of the company that you're at
least temporarily investing in.

Speaker 13 (02:06:10):
Yeah, and if you're going to look at an article
like this and decide that this is for you, because
you know, some people will be attracted to this notion
because hey, it sounds more conservative than stock market and
some people are just suspicious till the end of time
about stocks, And that's understandable because it has been crazy.
But the other thing you have to remember is that
in the nineteenth century, we had we had speculative booms.

Speaker 1 (02:06:28):
That's not a new phenomenon.

Speaker 13 (02:06:30):
We had speculative booms and things like tulips in the
Netherlands as well as.

Speaker 1 (02:06:36):
You know, the the original Dutch East India Company.

Speaker 13 (02:06:40):
All those boring things we learned about in grade school
that come up for me fairly often because you know,
just reminding clients that none of the crazy we're going
through is new. It just seems new because things are
just a lot louder with social media and all those things.

Speaker 1 (02:06:53):
Yeah, and real time reported with social media too. So actually,
a market like a meme stock market couldn't necessarily exis
functionally in the old days. You need that quick there.
It is all the hype that pops up on social
media literally everywhere, and then the bubble gets burst and
people move on and take their losses or their winnings
as the case may be. But anyhow, I appreciate your

(02:07:15):
thoughtful analysis on that one, Brian. We'really looking forward to
our next conversation about Black Friday, which isn't anymore one
more with Monday Monday's Brian, James, don't go away. I'll
be right back. The most memorable toy I got for
Christmas skateboard, the easy bake oven.

See the talk station A twenty nine I fifty bot
KRCD talk Station, Happy Monday, Brian James, Monday Monday on
the program right now, moving over to Black Friday, Brian James.
I'm a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas season. Christmas
season in the Thomas household, and I know people feel
differently about this, and quite often strongly. We put the
tree up after Thanksgiving. Should have put it up yesterday.

(02:08:56):
It was a traditional day, but neither of us felt
like it. So it's gonna happen to it. But that's when
the Christmas season for us kicks in. And the Christmas season,
of course also involves holiday gift buying. And you know
it used to be going to the mall and getting
all geared up, and yes, the day after Thanksgiving was
the day it all kicked in. Black Friday. The malls
will be packed, people be fighting, There'll be stories in
the paper about it. And then along came online sales

(02:09:19):
and Black Friday sort of has become this online phenomena.
But it's also lasts longer than just one day. How
Black Friday deals kicked in more than a week ago.
So this black is this Black Friday now going to
become the season, a Black Friday season extending backwards and
forwards for longer periods of time before we get to
the actual numbers that came in. Yeah, so I think

(02:09:43):
you're right.

Speaker 13 (02:09:43):
But Black Friday, it doesn't happen on Friday anymore. And
that's almost not even the centerpiece. It's just just kind
of the label of a general, fuzzy period of time
that we buy a bunch of stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:09:54):
So but still as always as it.

Speaker 13 (02:09:56):
Happens every year, as long as the economy is doing Okay,
we talk about how this year's sales are going to
be record breaking, we're going to see more than we've
ever seen before, and that's the headlines now. So but
I looked, Brian, I remember, you know, fifteen twenty years ago,
which is about how old my kids are. I remember
when they were younger, there was always a toy. There
was tickle Me Elmo, there was the Tamagatchi, and there

(02:10:16):
was all there was all these other things. There was
one big thing everybody had. Half that doesn't seem to
happen anymore because there's just so much stuff out there.
I just did a quick search for the most popular
twenty twenty four Black Friday deals, and it's all stuff
that's been out forever. It's Apple, AirPods, dice and vacuum cleaners, UHD, TVs,
things like that.

Speaker 1 (02:10:35):
It's nothing new, hum but nothing to really dry, anything
but crap. And people don't want to buy figurines that
remind them of crappy movies that they watched. Anyway, sorry
he had to interject that point, But you know, but
online sales have what has gone up rather dramatically, and

(02:10:55):
one would expect that it's easy to purchase online. All
the sales are right there. It's easy to get people
to engage in impulse buying. Most notably, if the extra
fifteen bucks is going to get your free shipping to
your house, you go ahead and add one more thing
to your Amazon basket to get just that. I participated.
We've got a substantial discount and a couple of replacement

(02:11:17):
no stick skillets we needed, and a three pack of
bubble lights which I got for a couple of dollars
off delivered to my front door. So I understand the
ease of it. But I think that's one of the
reasons why online sales are so successful, because Yeah, you
can go right there, you can see the discount, you
can compare to what you were going to pay, but
also that impulse buy probably results in a whole lot

(02:11:39):
more money being spent than otherwise would have.

Speaker 13 (02:11:43):
Yeah, and Christmas season for me, for my family now
consists of let's put the tree up at some point,
and then let's put on Christmas Vacation or Christmas Story
or whatever, and we'll all sit there and watch it.
My wife and I are buying stuff online on our phones,
and the kids have no idea, so we're not going
anywhere near the stores or anything like that. It's the
convenience of it and the fact that you can save
just as much money by doing it online.

Speaker 4 (02:12:03):
Now.

Speaker 13 (02:12:03):
I think another thing that's happening here, Brian, is for
the advent of social media. That's allowing advertisers and businesses
to get access to sellers so much more quickly and
so much more frequently that they can extend past Black
They don't have to wait for Black Friday to make
a big splash. Amazon Prime has their own Day, Walmart
has Walmart Deals that happens in July. Individual companies can

(02:12:24):
go chase a campaign and get away from the noise that.

Speaker 1 (02:12:27):
Is Black Friday.

Speaker 13 (02:12:28):
But we're still putting up records because we are still
a very spendee society and I do not see that changing.

Speaker 1 (02:12:33):
You know, It's strange you mentioned the separate you know,
Walmart deal Day and all that. It tends to illustrate
at least I hope it does, because it does for
me all the time that they're still making a profit.
I would argue, for the most part, even though it's
fifteen percent off or twenty percent off, they're just taking
away their margin a little bit. So throughout the year,

(02:12:53):
if you're not buying it on sale, you just got
to point out to yourself that, well, I am literally
paying at least twenty percent more or than if I
just waited around for one of these deal days to
show up, So why not wait? Exactly?

Speaker 13 (02:13:06):
Can Can you imagine Brian walking into Cohle's without a coupon,
and heaven forbid, nobody pays regular price there. That's Coal's
flavor of it. They've always got double digit coupons out there,
and then there's never not some kind of clearance going on.

Speaker 1 (02:13:18):
That's exactly right. And then finally when what we do
Black Friday, which really isn't as I just tointed it out,
but Cyber Monday is that is that today?

Speaker 13 (02:13:27):
That is today, Cyber Monday, Small Business Saturday a couple
days ago.

Speaker 1 (02:13:30):
Today is Cyber Monday, which is really no different.

Speaker 13 (02:13:32):
If you're an online Black Friday shopper, then there's really
no difference betwet Cyber Monday, Black Friday. But some good
deals out there to be had. I'm gonna pull the
trigger on some Christmas gifts today.

Speaker 1 (02:13:41):
All right, Well, good luck online shopping, and of course,
mind your financial plan when doing so, Brian, I wouldn't
want you to get yourself into a problem financially because
you feel obligated to go out and buy more gifts
than you can actually pay for. I feel like I've
heard that somewhere before. I may have you may have
mentioned that to somebody over your thirty years career as
a financial planner, Brian, looking for I won't be around
next Monday, as I mentioned earlier, I'm off to Fort

(02:14:03):
Adderbury again with my good friend, retired Lieutenant Colonel Bob
Kattire to hit fifty caliber rifles on the long distance range.
So we will talk in two weeks and between now
and then, best to health you and everybody at all
worth financial. Thanks for being on the program. You too,
Happy holidays. Thanks brother eight thirty five ifty five KR.
See the talk stations stick around. We got more to
talk about and I'd love to hear from you. If

(02:14:24):
you've got a comment you want to make, feel free
to call five one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred,
eight hundred and eighty two to three talk or hit
pound five fifty on AT and T phones. Right back.

Speaker 9 (02:14:34):
This is fifty five KRC, an iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 1 (02:14:38):
Hey, it's the talk station. If you're having a decent Monday,
always learned something with Brian James. Monday, Monday tomorrow. Of
course it's Tuesday, meaning we're gonna have the bright part
inside Scoop at Ato five, follow by the Daniel Davis
Deep Dive. Whor'se The situation Ukraine not looking good and
I'm gonna call me earlier to say Rush is having
some real terrific financial problems, probably in part at having

(02:15:00):
to fund a war in Ukraine, but also because of
the ruble. Now I'm going to have to look into
that one, because I didn't hear anything specific, and gosh
darn it, I should ask Brian James all about that anyhow,
I don't know if you think it's a good idea
or not. I was thinking, you know, it sounds like
a good idea, and you know, most people aren't really

(02:15:21):
like lovers of the pharmaceutical industry generally speaking. Obviously very profitable,
but a life saving industry. I mean, I can't mock
what they do. Of course, I do have a copy
of the Pfiser papers now, after interviewing the editor last
a couple of weeks ago, and so my copy it
is a very large hard copy, almost looks like a

(02:15:42):
coffee table book. But you can get that interview and
get yourself a copy of the book from the Pfiser Papers.
It obviously is going to put a stoke a lot
of anger in you, knowing what they know now, what
they've revealed to the general public as a consequence of
litigation and Freedom of Information Act request. You got the
document from inside these pharmaceutical companies who created the COVID

(02:16:03):
nineteen vaccine, knowing full well, based upon their own internal studies,
that it was not this wonderful, you know, silver bullet
for our problems, and in fact problems still exists today
with young people having serious and significant health risks or
health problems, most notably women dealing with menstrual strikeles and

(02:16:23):
their fertility rates dropping. It goes on, so as a
recommended read for you on that one. So with that
sort of background and point being made, I had a
lot of people are very excited about RFK Junior, Robert F.
Kennedy Kennedy Junior heading up the Department of Health and
Human Services, And there are some things I don't agree

(02:16:44):
with about Robert F. Kennedy Junior, but I'm looking forward
to seeing what he does. I'm gonna be fascinated to
see what he does or tries to do in the
face of the overwhelming financeanial and lobbying pressure the pharmaceutical
industry is going to bring to bear about anything he's

(02:17:04):
planning on doing too. I guess in his mind correct
the situation. But being the profound defender of the First
Amendment that I am, as well as other things constitutional
and are God given rights and freedoms, one of the
things they're thinking he is going to do is attempting
to ban direct to consumer drug advertising. These are the

(02:17:27):
commercials that we all suffer through as we're watching television
during the week, if you are so inclined to do that,
and comically include things like don't take filling the blank
drug if you're allergic to fill in the blank drug, Like,
how in the hell would you even know that? You know,
lawyers obviously got involved with that one, but whatever. But
the reason we have so much demand on the pharmaceutical

(02:17:49):
industry is simply because they're marketing the pharmaceuticals directly to us.
Most of us, me included, aren't doctors, don't play them
on TV, don't understand about drug interactions, and maybe gloss
over when they start telling you about the risk of
potential downsides like oh, you could die, or you know,
incidents of liver cancer increase, and all those different things

(02:18:10):
they tell you that are potential problems associated with it,
most notably potential problems that you and I weren't told
about with the emergency use authorization of the COVID vaccine,
sort of bringing things full circle on my criticism on
that one. But how do you feel, generally speaking about
the idea of our government banning the marketing of pharmaceuticals. Now,

(02:18:38):
some may argue, well, they're heavily regulated industry, check lots
of rules. Of course, cost billions of dollars to bring
a drug to market if it goes through the proper process,
unlike the COVID nineteen vaccine, but forever up until just recently,
and I don't know if there was a legal challenge
to it, or if they just decided that the revenue
dollars were worth it. And why did we not allow

(02:19:03):
alcohol advertising on television? Typically never happened ever ever, and
could have been a gentleman's agreement among the industry to
keep from being regulated. I don't know. They obviously have
banned cigarettes from being advertised on television billboards and things
of that nature, and that's gone on for years and years.
I know that that had to have been challenged by litigation.

(02:19:23):
So at some point, your constitutional rights do have a limit,
and the state's interests must be narrowly or the laws
addressing whatever interest the state has must be as narrowly
tailored as possible to achieve the compelling state interest. That's
the legal standard. The interest has to be compelling, and
telling people that cigarettes are going to kill you and then,

(02:19:45):
knowing full well based on the nineteen sixty four Surgeon
General's report and every other report that's been done on
the effects of cigarettes smoking on you, they have a
compelling state interest to perhaps limit your freedoms as a
tobacco manufacturing company to advertise on television that I'm going
to guess has been litigated. But you can't turn on
the TV now anymore without seeing a tequila commercial or

(02:20:07):
what have you. But can you imagine the pharmaceutical industry's
reaction if they were told they weren't allowed to advertise
their product now. Unlike tobacco, which has no merit other
than being a nicotine delivery system that comes with all
kinds of additional problems associated with it, which you can overcome,

(02:20:28):
I suppose by vaping, probably carrying its own separate concerns,
but at least you're not getting the burned tobacco product
and the carcinogenic part of things that come in with
burning cigarettes. But pharmaceuticals, by way of contrast, are there
to help solve a problem. So if you've got fill

(02:20:52):
in the blank medical condition, yes there are risks, and
they have to point them out to you with taking
the pharmaceutical, but there also could be some found benefits.
So could you outrighte ban pharmaceutical direct pharmaceutical advertising to
the general public when it's really unlike in so many
ways cigarettes, there are benefits. They can make the argument

(02:21:17):
that no people need to know about this. Physicians don't
always know that this drug is on the market for
this condition. A certain number of people have this condition
that we found out there are research in ten years
of clinical studies that this actually helps people who have
this condition. And do you want to be deprived of
the opportunity to hear about these new products that come

(02:21:38):
out of the market. I kind of sit on the
fence on this, one of my first Amendment predicates and leanings.
Tend to want to defend the pharmaceutical companies as many
problems as they have with them. So fuel for thought.
It's just fuel for thought because you know, it's easy
to say something and easy for everybody to go yeah yeah.

(02:21:58):
But the broader implications, I don't know, they can be profound.

hundred and eighty two to three talk. I've got Evelyn
on the line. Evelyn, thanks for calling this morning, and
a happy Monday to you. Thanks.

Speaker 7 (02:23:39):
Brian, Well, this is a great topic about medicine being advertised.
Being eighty three years old, I've seen a number of
rather horrible uh situations where medicine basically armed person. And
it's sometimes because doctors don't do a deep analysis of

(02:24:03):
what's really wrong. And with these ads, you make your
own diagnosis and suggest it to the doctor who doesn't
take much time to do his own diagnosis and try it.
It's it's really you know, it's borderline.

Speaker 1 (02:24:25):
Malpractice. The word you're looking for medicine. Yeah, yeah, Well,
with so much research we have available to us these
days on the Internet and elsewhere. There are reliable sources,
and there are unreliable sources, and maybe the pharmaceutical company
itself is not a reliable source. I like the idea
of having the information. Now if I had a particular condition,

(02:24:46):
you know, I could go out into the world and search.
I wouldn't need to have a commercial in front of
my face from Pfizer or anybody else telling me that
this drug is available for your condition, because I'd like
to think I'm going to be a little bit more
proactive about my own health. If my doctor tells me
or got a condition, probably is going to prescribe a
pharmaceutical product. Usually that's the case, even though I've never

(02:25:06):
heard or seen about it on television. Doesn't have to
be there. I don't have any objection to the commercial
in my face. What I have a problem with is
that sort of follow up point you made. Is my
doctor even familiar with it? And if the doctor's not
familiar with it and it's there to treat my condition
at least that's what it says it is, then is
my doctor going to do be a diagnostician? That's kind

(02:25:28):
of what pharmacy pharmacies are supposed to be doing. Will
there be drug interactions? You know, what are the risks
associated with taking everything else you are taking. Somebody's got
to have a whole litany of all the pharmaceuticals you
were on in order to do that kind of analysis
and then move us to one step aside. I don't
know how far of a deep dive the pharmaceutical companies
have to go through in comparing whether or not their drug,

(02:25:51):
the new one they're advertising, has an interaction with any
other class of drugs out there. I think that's part
of the clinical trial research. They find out people who
have reactions and find out what they're on. Are they connected.
I don't know all that's supposed to be done ahead
of time, which allows me to go back to the
fact that apparently most of that was not done in
connection with the COVID nineteen vaccine, and we're all now

(02:26:13):
experiencing the realities of that and finding out, yes, as
we all act as one giant clinical trial with the
rollout and mandate for people to take those vaccines, that
oh lo and behold, a significant and sizable percentage of
people do have interactions and problems. It does have negative consequences,
so much so that the pharmaceutical company under normal circumstances

(02:26:39):
could very well be held liable for the damage that
their drugs caused, but not because of the Emergency Use authorization,
you're deprived of that opportunity, So you're stuck with whatever
condition you're left with from having gotten the JAB, after
maybe having your employment threatened for not wanting to get

(02:27:00):
the JAB. This has got a lot of years left
in it, folks, in terms of a topic, in terms
of the research and analysi that's going to be done
reflecting back on our stupidity in reacting to the COVID pandemic,
Doctor faucis now under the microscope yet again, and it
will be even more so into the Trump administration. Maybe
we'll get to see and have access to more of

(02:27:22):
the information we were deprived of, and maybe then we'll
all be able to make more informed choices down the road,
and we'll be a little more jaded and cynical about
what our lords and masters and elected capacities that have
no medical degree are not pharmacists and are paid handsomely
by the pharmaceutical companies so that the pharmaceutical companies can

(02:27:43):
make billions and billions of dollars, the dangerous, crazy, circuitous
world we live in. And once you throw politics and
money into it, beyond just general profit margins, once you
throw politics and money into it, then the lines get
blurred and you start wondering whether this is truly just

(02:28:04):
about bottom line or are they really trying to accomplish
something along the lines of helping people and saving lives
or bettering the quality of life, while yes, legitimately getting
a financial reward for that, that's the point everyone is
in business for. Or as I was talking about earlier,

(02:28:28):
many times over the program's length, they create scenarios and
then create winners and losers just by virtue of creating scenarios.
Oh look, I read a little bit about ethanol going
into our gas tanks for absolutely no blanking reason. And
with Trump being elected him talking about trying to unring
the bell of the inflation Reduction Actor, the Green New Deal.

(02:28:49):
Now we've got Republicans running up saying no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no no, that no, you can't take away carbon capture programs,
not from my state. Our state's going to make billions
of dollars by going down this road as a consequence
of the IRA. See there you go, a made up thing.
Exhalation needs to be captured and put in the ground.

(02:29:11):
Tax credit serves the incentive to do this, or tax offsets,
and then once those are in place, you can't go
back to the original reality. Wait a minute, why are
we doing this in the first place? What was the
motivation for us to put ethanol in our gas tanks
in the first place. It wasn't a benefit farmers, now,
was it? Or was it a fifty five fifty five
