Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Check you in off for what's developing.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
This is just developing out of the Middle East now.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Right now, it's developing. Fifty five KRC the talk station
five o five.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Nothing about g RC detalk station. Happy Monday, some says.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
V I'm the dude, man, I'm not.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
I'm Brian Thomas. Good morning, Happy Monday to you. I
hope you had a nice weekend. I sure did. And
it's uh, well, it's Monday. I gotta deal with the
reality of a Monday. Oh anyhow, what's coming up?

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Smither Man?

Speaker 4 (00:58):
Of course it is Monday seven twenty with Christophers. I'm
the and former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati.
Every Monday at seven to twenty. Vent's his plane and
I thoroughly enjoy hearing from Christopher. Good friend of mine
and a great man. He's got some insight cases, you know,
handl the pulse of what's going on politically here in
the city of Cincinnati. So valuable opinions from Christopher every

(01:19):
Monday at seven twenty, followed by Money Monday with Brian
James all Worth Financials.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Brian James.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Today we'll talk about the FED chair change looming question
mark and how that might affect the markets. Solid earnings reports,
mask tariff volatility. You know, all the reports are pretty
good economically speaking. Risk of recession is just I've fallen
down completely, so no more concern about that anymore, at
least that's what I've been reading. So we'll see what

(01:44):
Brian James has to say about that, and finally picking
the right financial planner for you. Some practical advice from
Brian James who is a financial planner, and we'll hear
from our friend Deb from oder Acid at the tail
end of the eight o'clock hour, or asked the expert
Gary Jeff Walker's filling in for me tomorrow. My wife's
got a medical procedure and need to pick her up

(02:07):
one that involves anesthesia. You're not allowed to drive after that,
so I'm going to take the morning off and take
care of my better half. And better half she of
course is. I love hearing from you. If you want
to steer the direction of the conversation, as I regularly suggest,
please feel free to do it. It's a Monday. My
brain is not firing on all cylinders this morning, so

(02:27):
if you got something you want to talk about, five one, three, seven,
eight hundred and eight to two three talk or come
stream the audio from fifty five cars dot com or
get your iHeartMedia app and listen wherever you're happen to
have your smart device and listen to Jim Grendle. Talk
to him. He's a retired detective from a uh Springfield township.

(02:49):
I wrote a book, Homicide Investigation Interview. We talked about
that one and his upcoming book, Harr Toltzman don Heinrich
Toltzman book I Am Innocent. He did the translation on that.
It's a German guy that was accused and convicted and
executed for murdering Charles Lindbergh junior that will be the

(03:11):
baby of famous airline pilot Charles Lindbergh. Apparently, according to Don,
he convinced me in a very short period of time
the guy was framed. And he also had a really
really really crappy lawyer. Tech Friday with Dave Hatter every Friday,
very important appointment listening is what I call that excellent
segment from Dave Hatter. Let us see here. Don't really

(03:37):
know where I want to start. Well, let's start with California,
highlighted last week because the Trump administration cut off four
billion dollars in federal grants for that stupid high speed
train that goes literally from point A to point B
nowhere to nowhere. California promised the moon of the Stars

(03:58):
with this multi billion dollar project. It just keep getting
more and more expensive. Not a single track has been
laid yet. And this has been going on for what
seems like forever. I mean, the completion date has coming gone,
and they haven't laid a single mile of track. What
the hell is going on? And California has now sued
the Trump administration because of determination of the funding. They're saying, hy,

(04:21):
everything's fine, Everything's all hunky dory. No, well, we've met
all the expectations. Really you have over the Elissa Finley
at the Wall Street Journal. California Gavin Newsom has shown
these political effects are flexible. He's also showing the ability
to turn rotten grapes into wine. So why isn't he

(04:43):
using the excuse that President Trump handed him. Just pull
the plug on the whole bullet trained boondoggle. Trump Transportation
Department rescinded four billion in funds for the project last week,
pointing out the state's host overruns, delays, and funding shortfalls.
Quote the railroad we were promised still does not exist

(05:06):
and never will close quote corn to President Trump and
true social this project severely overpriced, overregulated, and never delivered.
All true statements. Wright's President's right. Mister Newsom surely knows it.
It's current construction rate, the five hundred mile rail line
between San Francisco and Orange County won't be completed. As

(05:30):
she writes in the Governor's Lifetime, the state as the
last month hadn't begun to lay tracks on the first
one hundred and nineteen miles segment between Madera population sixty
eight thousand and Shafter Shafter population twenty one thousand. Remember,
this is supposed to go from two major cities. Instead,

(05:53):
they chose this narrow, really road to nowhere path just
to get something off the ground and his family rights.
The first leg should have been relatively easy, since the
state's rural central Valley is lightly developed and populated, no
need to raise strip malls and housing developments. A private

(06:13):
company built a two hundred and thirty five mile high
speed train from Orlando to Miami in eleven years for
about six billion dollars. Yet it's taken California more than
a decade to merely bulldozed permitting barriers and clear lawsuits.
Think about that. If all goes according to newsmance plans,

(06:37):
the first leg might be done, and she jokingly says
by the end of his second presidential term in twenty
thirty six, might state last week, sue to restore the
federal funds as I mentioned a moment ago, which could
mean the years of litigation and more delays. According to
Gavin Newsom, Trump wants a hand China the future at

(07:02):
abandoned the Central Valley. We won't let him. And see
I pointed out that statement last week. What the hell
does that mean? How does this stupid leg of track
which goes from point A to point B nowhere to nowhere,
California have any connection whatsoever to China? Now the list
of family rights under the Chinese economic model, here we go.

(07:25):
The government spurs unproductive growth by subsidizing wasteful investment, whether
it be in real estate, electric vehicles, or public works.
China has borrowed some one trillion dollars to build nearly
thirty thousand miles of high speed rail lines, many of
which connect lightly populated towns and carry a few passengers.

(07:50):
That's the future of nuisance bullet train and nowhere companies, companies,
private companies. Here, I am being repetitive for the purpose
of emphasis, routinely cancel and write off bad investments. Why
want mister Newsman his Democratic legislature because they fear voters

(08:12):
will realize they were conned. In two thousand and eight,
Democrats sold the train to voters with fanciful promises, the
same sort they make about free universal healthcare. How's that
working at Parenthetically, your Obamacare premium is going through the roof.
Just bracing you for that one. They cut off the

(08:32):
tax credits. It's now capped. The sixty four thousand dollars
you make sixty four thousand and one dollars, you don't
get a tax credit anymore under Obamacare plan. That's why
people are going with private doctor. My friend John will
Wan to cover Since you about that anyway, separate story,
completely separate cul de sac. I just went down there anyway.
Democrats claim the train would cost a mere thirty a

(08:53):
mere thirty three billion, thirty three billion and be completed
by year is it it's twenty twenty five? Right, would
be completed by twenty twenty. That was a promise in
two thousand and eight, the five hundred mile train trip

(09:15):
from San Francisco to Anaheim would supposedly take only two
and a half hours and costs less than flying. Democrats
also assured voters the train wouldn't need to be subsidized
because it would draw masses of riders BAH and that
new trillion dollar stadium will bring in so much money
that it'll pay for itself. I interject the state high

(09:38):
speed rail authority at the time projected projected here. Let
me pull a figure out of my sphincter, sixty five
and a half million annual riders by twenty thirty, about
five times as many passengers who take Amtrak trains in
the more densely and heavily populated Northeast Corridor. Remember this
is not a heavily populated corridor that they're focusing on
in the Central Valley. Despite such deceptions, lies, Democrats could

(10:04):
have extricated themselves from their big dig had they focused
early train investments on electrifying commuter rail in the Bay
Area in Los Angeles, as many legislators wanted. But the
Obama administration required the state to build the first leg
in the Central Valley as a condition for three and
a half billion dollars in grants. Why the answer to

(10:28):
the question, according to Lyssa, to help. Representative Jim Costa,
a longtime champion of the bullet train, blue Dog Democrat,
faced a tough race in twenty ten owing to his
unpopular vote for Obamacare, but he was able to ride
the subsidy train to victory. Federal dollars, state bonds, and
cap and trade revenue have since kept the project chugging along.

(10:50):
There's that cap and trade magically out of nowhere. Whol
Cloth wasn't there one day and it's there the next.
But the rail Authority is at least seven billion dollars
short of what it needs to complete the first segment.
It needs more than ninety billion to build all five
hundred miles. Remember, the original cost was supposed to be

(11:11):
thirty three billion dollars. Oh Anna was supposed to be
doubly twenty twenty. Couldn't Democrats have spared some change in
the three hundred and twenty one billion dollar budget they
just passed in California? Yes, but have and pretend that
they take money from their government union friends or repair

(11:31):
back health care for undocumented illegal immigrants estimated cost twelve
billion dollars this year, raising the obvious question if Democrats
in Sacramento won't pay for their vanity project out of
their own coffers, here you go, folks, Why should taxpayers
in Cleveland, or Atlanta, or Cincinnati or any other damn
place in the United States. It has nothing to do

(11:53):
with California. Why are we paying for this fresh office
inauguration in twenty nineteen, Gavin Newsom, governor admitted their quote
simply isn't a path close quote to finish the five
hundred mile train, which would, in his words, cost too

(12:13):
much and take too long. He promised to impose more spending, accountability,
no more blank checks. Yeah, the blank checks have continued
for the bulletrain and everything else in the state. Democrats
spend twenty four billion dollars to combat homelessness. The result
more homelessness state k through twelve. Spending has risen fifty

(12:36):
percent since twenty eighteen, yet student test scores have fallen.
Electric rates in California have surged, yet the power has
become less reliable. California's Bulletrained, whether or not it ever
carries passengers, is a monument to the colossal failures of

(12:57):
modern progressive government, from welfare programs the public schools. Democrats
make illusory promises as they shovel out money without regard
for the result. When will California voters decide they're tired
of getting taken for a ride?

Speaker 3 (13:11):
Amen? Amen?

Speaker 4 (13:16):
When will the city of Cincinnati voters decide they're tired
of getting taken for a ride? He asked parenthetically. And
I'm a holy unrelated yet in many ways related Stack
of reasons five eighteen fifty five KRC DE Talk Station
five one three seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight

(13:37):
hundred and eighty two to three Talk found five fifty
on eighteen t phones love to hear from me? Feel
free to call otherwise we'll move along, be.

Speaker 5 (13:43):
Right back fifty five KRC.

Speaker 6 (13:46):
Did you know.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
It's five twenty one on a Monday, Monday, Monday, Monday Monday?
Not if it's twelve on it? Because I don't really
ever talk about celebrities or anything. There's people pulling their
hair out over Stephen Colbert's late show closing down. They're
just shutting the show down. He's gone, the whole show's
shut down. I guess there's multiple reasons for it. I

(14:11):
first gravitated towards the polarization of the of the late
night shows. They used to be funny. David Letterman kind
of steered clear of politics for the most part. That
show became wildly popular college students. I think really made
Dave Letterman who he is or was rather, but apparently
at least acorded the report's Late Show that with Stephen

(14:31):
Colbert losing forty million dollars a year, they say at
least since the twenty twenty one season, when ad revenue plummeted.
Why would ad revenue plummet? You know, do you think
there's any connection between this and Air America? Remember the
radio network that was supposed to be broadcasting left wing
commentary but just couldn't get off the ground because there

(14:54):
were no advertisers to support it. You gotta make money,
that's the point of it. So maybe it was a
little off putting for people. They quit tuning in because
Stephen Colbert was such a left wing loon. You're going
to alienate a sizable chunk of the population when you
just dwell over and over and over and linger on politics, right,

(15:16):
I mean, it's kind of the reality of it. But
also you have to kind of acknowledge that fewer people
are actually watching TV. I saw an article the other
day YouTube. In fact, most people are watching YouTube far
more than they watch regular television, So people's appetites have changed.
You have on demand, watch whatever you want, binge watch programs,

(15:38):
watch as little or as much as you want, pause,
go to the bathroom, come back and hit play. You
never miss anything. A bunch of different dynamics of play here.
But people are going crazy over this Colbert thing. It
just doesn't shock me a bit. And this is a
weird one, pivoting over to nothing related whatsoever and jumping
to immediate conclusions. I don't understand this. Tennessee Titans are

(16:00):
building a stadium, constructing it. It's underway, right. They halted
construction why a noose was found on the site. In
a statement from the Tennessee Builders Association, they say they
suspended work after discovering what they described as a racist

(16:22):
and hateful symbol corner of the Builders Association. We are requiring
additional anti bias training for every person on site, and
work will resume only after a site wide stand down
focused on inclusion and respect. Nashville Police are where of

(16:43):
the incident they're investigating. The Builders Association offered a reward
for information leading to the identification of those involved. We
are outraged and deeply saddened by this act. We were
working in close partnership with our client, trade partners and
unions to ensure every work understands that racism and ain't
have no place here. Everyone deserves to feel safe, welcome,

(17:05):
and treated with respect and dignity. Hmm, I just stopped
to ask out loud. You find one noose on a
big construction site and that is immediately labeled as an
act of racism and hatred anybody else Remember the various

(17:26):
times that we've been lied to that folks of color
or others interested in maybe stirring the pot of descent
and trying to point out that racism is alive and well,
have faked and planted things. Wasn't there NASCAR incident involving
want something to turn out it actually wasn't even a noose,

(17:46):
no intent there to make a statement political or otherwise.
They shut down this entire project because they found what
they claim is a news no picture of it. I
don't know, but now they're going to rehire everyone to
do race training, anti bias training.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Brought to you.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
I'm sure by some non governmental organization paid for by
the taxpayer dollars, maybe Tennessee taxpayer dollars, maybe federal dollars,
because somebody's got to offer the race training program. And
you know, part of me can envision this scenario where
the entities that provide this training might have planted the

(18:31):
news to generate business just saying I'm always jaded. In
Senecal five six fifty five krs DE talk station local

love to hear from you, regardless of.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
You about kersee talk stations. It is five twenty nine.
It is Monday, like it or not. I'm trying to
get a man engine running this morning.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
Do a local story real quick here before we get
the Tom is on the line five one three, seven,
four nine fifty five eight hundred eight two three talk. Yes,
another shooting happened this morning one thirty one thirty. This morning,
police officers found a forty six year old man suffering
from a gunshot wound to his chest and the parking
lot forty five hundred block a rabid Runpike West Price
Hill victim taking a UC medical center and pronounced dead.

(19:51):
No release of further details from the police. Not clear
what led to the violence. They don't have any suspects
we don't know about anyway. Just one more violent incident
in the city of Cincinnati.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Kind of a.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
Common theme anymore, Joe. You're always updating the local stories
in the morning with an email attached with a story
of a fresh shooting. God, we got to find an
end of the violence. See a Tom's guy this morning. Tom,
Happy Monday to you. I hope you're more awake than
I am this morning.

Speaker 8 (20:17):
Yes, yes I am. It sounds like it at least
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (20:22):
First of all, I want to make sure that nobody
got their feeling hurt over the weekend. Everybody good. That
seems to me what's most important now is that nobody
got their feeling hurt. Of course, you know, you me, Joe,
we're straight white males, so our feelings don't matter. But
you know, I'm really talking to everybody else. It's absolutely ridiculous.
This job site thing in Nashville doesn't surprise me at all.

(20:45):
We have a local contractor, in fact, it's it's a
nationwide contractor that's big around here. That their their safety orientation,
which is which common practice when you go on a
job site, you have to go to the general contractor
and and you go through a safety orientation for them
for the job site, so you get a sticker for

(21:07):
your hard head. You're allowed to be on the site. Now,
just one particular contractor, their safety orientation is more about
making sure we don't hurt anybody else's feelings than it
is about safety.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (21:19):
So it's gotten ridiculous, it really is. So doesn't surprise
me at all being in construction, but being in construction.
I could tell anybody who's thinking about being in construction.
If you're worried about your feelings getting hurt, pick a
different job. Your feelings are gonna get hurt multiple times

(21:39):
a day. Yeah, you gotta have some fick skin working
around some rough people.

Speaker 6 (21:46):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
I could both that all day long. You know, it's
like hanging out with the guys, you know, a group
of your closest friends. You are never going to be
thrown into environment that is more, you know, insensitive to
your feeling then hanging out with my best friends in
a group. And I can imagine the construction crew is
exactly like that.

Speaker 8 (22:06):
Oh yeah, and some of us we don't even know.
We don't hardly know anything about each other. We don't
may not even like each other, but we like working
together and yucking it up and calling each other names.
It helps the time go. So I wanted to get
to I wanted to get to what Christopher Smitheman talked
about last week. But I do want to give you kudos.

(22:29):
One of the things my wife and I do when
we drive around is we wonder what's going on with
the people in front of us around us driving and
one of the options is that they just come away
from a procedure where they were under anesthesia. So kudos
to you for taking care of your wife tomorrow, because
Lord knows she takes good care of you.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
Absolutely.

Speaker 8 (22:49):
Yeah, I know I'm going along in this already, so
I'll just get to it. Don't vote Democrats.

Speaker 6 (22:53):
Have a great day, Brian.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
No need to connect that with direct link for not
voting Democrat. But yeah, don't don't drive impaired. I suppose
it's a lesson we can take away from that one. Yes,
I won't be in tomorrow, Gary Jeff Walker covering for
me since the man arrested over the weekend, accused of
reportedly making terroristic threats against the US ICE agents and

(23:20):
a US official Court of Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs,
a Department of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin Fox nineteen digital
staff reporting Anthony Kelly will face federal charges for threatening
to assault, kidnap, murder a.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
United States officials.

Speaker 4 (23:34):
She said Closton posted a picture of a photo of Kelly,
screenshots of an account reportedly connected with him, and threatened
to shoot and kill ICE agents.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
Quote, you come here for me.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
You're getting shot and I'm not looking to disable your
pedo a word. I'm shooting for the kill. I don't
give an effort about your names, who you are, or
anything else. You will be shot. You will be killed.
Close quote. I don't think he pulled any punches on
that one to you, Joe being held out to the Butlic

(24:07):
County Jail records show that those charges are listed as
hold for fed while the other one says holder, No,
we're not going to shut a bridge down for that. Well,
maybe give them time, Joe. Fire in the building that

(24:31):
houses the historic Emery Theater being investigated as suspicious of
the sins. A Fire Department cruise dispatched to the six
story multi use building at eleven twelve Walnut in the
morning six forty one, specifically Saturday morning, for the ports
of smoke coming from the ceiling construction workers nearby a
lord of the fire department. Theaters is under renovation and

(24:52):
closed in the building on one side. Several apartments are
on the other corner of the fire department. When cruise
searched the building, they found a fire in the basement
extinguished in about ten minutes. Fire department said an extensive
effort was then put forth to get rid of the smoke.
Specialized unit called Vent twenty one dispatched to ventilate the smoke,
which filled the entire building. Fire department said there were

(25:14):
no injuries, thankfully to the residents, firefighters orling near by
construction workers. None of the residents were displaced. Estimated twenty
five thousand dollars in damage. Not too bad, I suppose
the grand scheme of thing. Since a fire department does
not know the cause of the fire, they said, the
investigative unit is looking at it as in their words, suspicious.
Speaking with WCPO, president of the CEO of the Children's

(25:37):
Theaters Cincinnati, owning the Emory Theater, says an unknown individual
was responsible for the fire. Kim Kern, the president afore
mentioned yesterday and on an individual gain access to the Emerines,
started a small fire in the basement for unknown reasons.
One of our subcontractors smelled the smoke, called nine to
one one CFD respond within minutes and was able to

(25:57):
put the fire out quickly. Minimal damage from the fire
itself and no water or smoke damage. M All right, well,
thankfully the Emory Theater is in attack. Stack is stupid
coming up five point thirty six right now fifty.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Five k see the talk station.

Speaker 7 (26:13):
This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
It is five point.

Speaker 4 (26:19):
Forty on a Monday, Happy one to you.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
Stack is stupid.

Speaker 4 (26:32):
I got a picture of the mugshot here, Joe that
says it's a woman. I know that's why it's in
the stack of stupid. But see, the visuals don't translate
in radio. But the story in and of itself earns her.
Maybe our award or him says slightly overweight Dave Grohl. Yeah,

(27:00):
shoulder length hair, a beard and a mustache, kind of
a goatee kind of thing going on.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
It's thin. I'll admit this could be a hormonal imbalance.
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (27:12):
But as the Fox nineteen reports, a woman question mark
not the preferred nomenclature, please arrest that every police say
Sy attacked officers as they were questioning her about animals
found in her very hot vehicles. So any Timeship Police
Department responded to a Walmart Central Avenue, Toledo for reports

(27:34):
of a dog locked inside of a vehicle looking distress.
Officers got there found the vehicle with the dog inside.
He was barking and growling through the windows. Officer said.
The vehicle's windows slightly opened, but the dog was panting
profusely and there was no water available. Also in the
vehicle four kittens and two cats in animal crates, two

(27:56):
of which appeared to be not moving.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
Aready, said.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
A dog warden and the owner of fur Angels that's
the organization were then called to the scene take the
animals into their custody. All this was happening, officers went
inside the walmart to locate the owner of the vehicle,
where they found the owner identified as down Weird w
Iard what departman said. She told the officers she just

(28:21):
ran inside to grab a few things and they were
not allowed to take her animals. Oh really, she claimed
the dog was a service animal. Budget Led allegedly ignored
the officers when she was asked about documentation. Ah, now
court authority is weird then put an officer in what
appeared to be a headlocked her in questioning not a
good idea. The officer was outside with weird vehicle, came

(28:45):
inside to assist, grabbed her by the forearm, took her
to the ground, and placed her in handcuffs. Officers said
he had to push Weird's head and neck away as
she was attempting to bite him. What Sylvan Detachment police
learned The kittens in her vehicle about six weeks old,
severely underweight, and had urine scalding on their paws. Cat's

(29:07):
since been taken by the Toledo Humane Society. Weird booked
into Lucas Caddy Jail in seven counts of cruelty the animals,
one kind of assault on a peace officer, and one
kind of resisting arrest bond thirty thousand dollars period.

Speaker 9 (29:23):
Is the biggest douche of the universe.

Speaker 6 (29:26):
Believe it.

Speaker 9 (29:27):
At heat, in all the galaxies, there's no bigger douche
than you. You've reached the top, the pinnacle of douche. Dum,
good going, douce. Your dreams have come true.

Speaker 4 (29:45):
Okay, let's go to uh We get an article from
the New York Post where in Maryland were an angry
firefighter unleashed gallons of water onto a Maryland baseball field
after a ball struck his pickup. Why are you doing that?
Because the ball struck his pickup? Why are you doing that?

(30:06):
Game came to an abrupt halp. Silver spring to come
with Thunderbolts forced to cancel the game due to the
rain on Thursday night, after the field of Montgomery Blair
High School and Silver Spring flooded when a ball flew
over the fence and landed at the neighborhood fire station.
The iright firefighter blasted the field with a fire hose

(30:27):
after the ball struck his personal car parked at Silver
Spring fire Station. Founder and director of the Thunderbolts baseball team.
There are nine other leagues who play here and were
not the only ones that hit home runs. Personnel from
the fire department had been told constantly by the park
staff that this is a dangerous area to park and
leave your vehicle. I went and had to talk with

(30:48):
the captain and he admitted that he did it. He
said he wanted to get our attention. Players caught on
wild footage watching the torrents of water raining down on
the diamond over a nearby fence. Outfielder Aiden Driscoll, speaking
of the news, when our players heard someone from the
firehouse say, hey, watch out, we don't want you to

(31:11):
get wet. Probably two minutes later, all we saw was
a massive stream of water basically just shooting directly onto
center field. I don't think I'll over in my entire
baseball career, get a fire truck, rain out again, just
walk away. According to the reporting, the collegiate summer team

(31:32):
said gallons of water created a pond in the center
of the field. Montgomery County Fire and Rescue since the
shooting an apology for the bizarre incident, working with the
Maryland National Capitol Park Police to investigate what triggered the soaking.
I think we have the answer to that truck got
hit with a baseball. Get off my lawn kind of

(31:53):
response from the fire department five forty six. If you
five care seed de talk station more stupid coming up.

Speaker 5 (31:59):
Be right back fifty five KRC kar CD talk station.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
A happy Monday.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
Five on three seven, eight hundred and eighty two to
three talk or pound five fifty on eight and T
phones So care to call otherwise back to the stack?

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Is stupid. We go to Bangor, Maine.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
Man taking into local police custody after the official said
he would not get off a homeowner's roof frazing.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
I was waiting for that, uh.

Speaker 4 (32:29):
Bangor Police and fire department, as well as crisis negotiators
called to the scene fourteenth street, specifically for those keeping track,
thirty nine year old Stephen Nason apparently climbed onto the
roof and did not come down off the roof. Home
owners speak of local news, and she and her boyfriend
began started hearing something on the roof four o'clock in
the morning. He went to the back deck and saw

(32:50):
a ladder up against the back of the home. They
say that's when they saw Nason on the roof. Never
seen this guy before, so they asked him what he
was doing, and he said he was trying to retrieve
drugs out of the chimney. So they called the police,

(33:12):
and when the bank of fire and police respoted, the
fire department put a basket up near the roof, and
I get a feeling this is one of those, you know,
like armed vehicles. It's got a bucket in it, you know,
like you'd use for maybe a repair of a telephone
line or something, and of course fire department uses them
as well, called a basket. Nason apparently then jumped from
the roof to the basket, grabbed an axe that was

(33:37):
attached to the basket, and then jumped back on the
roof with the axe in hand. Corner Peter Rearden guy
lives at the home. He jumped from our roof. He
jumped from our roof to the basket, retrieved the axe,
and then proceeded to chop holes in our roof.

Speaker 5 (33:54):
Do what the hell?

Speaker 4 (33:56):
You might ask, Why the hell there's an axe attached
to a basket in a crisis situation. Bangor Fire Chief
Jeffrey Lowe speaking with local news. So they use the
basket and attempt to treat someone in crisis with dignity
and respect. But as the ABI phrases it, the plan
went south. Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.

Speaker 6 (34:19):
He said.

Speaker 4 (34:19):
We wouldn't have expected that. It's nothing we would pre plan,
and we certainly don't train for that. It happened, Yeah,
it was unexpected consequence of trying to do something good
for him. Well, something tells me the protocol will be
from now on, if you're going to use a basket
to help somebody in the crisis situation, take the axe
off of the basket before raising it and elevating it
to the person in crisis. Bangor Police called the incident

(34:45):
abnormal court of Sergeant Jason mccamberley. We took the we
look at the people in the street right now, and
the people will call concern about that. And there is
help for everyone out there if they are willing to
accept that. People can make bad decisions. We can't make
them accept assistance if they don't want it. Mason taking

(35:07):
into custody eleven thirty in the after or in the
morning after surrendering. Sent to local hospital for physical and
of course mental health evaluation. Charged with aggravated criminal mischief,
creating a police standoff, and violating probation. Now at the
Panopscott County Jail, waiting for his first court appearance. Okay,

(35:32):
oh Belleville, Illinois, please say Illinois, Please send in Illinois
rather say Shooting at McDonald's injuring two people started with
a teenage employee refusing to take out the trash just
quarter to five and Wednesday PM. McDonald's location one hundred
block of South Belt in Bellville. Forty four year old

(35:54):
Kafe Bloodsoe, the manager on duty, ask a teenage employee
to take out the trash to the dumpster. When teenager refuse,
Bloodsoe told it a clock out and go home. Employee
then contacted her mother, Thirty five year old Tanika McKenzie.
She brought another daughter, described as a juvenile, to the

(36:14):
McDonald's with her. On the pickup trip, a verbal disturbance
happened in the fast food lobby. Police say mackenzie and
her daughter eventually went behind the counter to the office area.
Mackenzie then allegedly hit Bloodsoe in the face and had
During that fight, please say, Bloodsoe pulled out a gun
and fired a shot, hitting McKenzie in the leg. Bullet

(36:37):
also hit another female, but police did not identify the
other one. Bloodsoe arrested at the McDonald's, while McKenzie taken
to the hospital for treatment. After the shooting, the restaurant
was closed at least for the day. Police in a
Facebook post said, it's unfortunate that this incident occurred. Seems
individuals are quick to resort to violence to resolve disputes
without consideration of the impact their actions have on the

(36:58):
community as a whole. This was an unnecessary incident that
could have been mitigated without punches being thrown or a
gun being used. While stating the obvious Bledsoe charge with
one kind of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, McKenzie,
the employees or with a woman, then charge with one
kind of aggravated battery, one kind of mob action. At

(37:20):
least said she is an in custody. Wow, things do
have a tendency to devolve rather quickly these days. Five

with Brian James, and we'll hear from our good friend
dab promoter Exit at the tail end of the eight
o'clock hour. Let's see what's going on, well, the Trump
Russia hawksmitted to the top of the news. Director of

(39:42):
National Intelligence Tulsea Gabbert has unleashed a whole bunch of documents.
Rather incriminating, they are to lays out the steps and
the follow up beginning from the Hillary Clinton administer Hillary
Clinton's effort to cover up her email scandal, all the
way through the Bide administration and the preemptive pardons. So

(40:06):
Greg Jared Obt Fox News reporting on this one. Newly
revealed documents show that in twenty sixteen, then President Barack
Obama and his national security team, in her words Tulsa
Gabbert's words, manufactured and politicized phony intelligence in an effort
to frame Donald Trump as a Russian asset, all the

(40:27):
while knowing it was a lie. Tulsa Gabbert released the
declassified documents Friday, describing it as an egregious abuse of
power amounting to treasonous conspiracy. Those are not subtle or
gentle words, folks. Genesis of the plot Hillary Clinton July

(40:48):
twenty six, twenty sixteen, allegedly approved and illicit scheme to
well sully Donald Trump for klude with Russia to rig
the upcoming presidential election. Remember this is the year that
he beat Hillary Clinton. She was a little burned by that. Anyway,

(41:11):
bogus Smeir intended distract from her own problems, the email scandal.
Maybe one of the reasons she didn't get elected president.
I don't care why she didn't get elected president, just
thank god she didn't. Her campaign commissioned and funded the
Steele dossier, which was a whole collection of lies, ultimately

(41:31):
concluded to be a bunch of lies, lies that they
went and carried around for a long time. Folks and
the Obama administration. CIA discovered what Hillary had done the
fake Steele dossier and immediately alerted the Obama White House.
They had two meetings July twenty eighth and August third,
twenty sixteen. Then CIA Director John Brennan briefed the President

(41:54):
and other top officials, including Joe Biden, Vice president, Director
of National Intelligence James Clapper, and FBI Director James Comy.
John Brennan, then CIA Director's handwritten notes from the situation
room show. He recounted Clinton's plan quote to vilify Donald
Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the

(42:16):
Russian Security Service. Close quote. Nobody came out and said
anything about it. He told him about the plan. It
was all a hoax, and Biden and Clapper and Comy
then launched Crossfire Hurricane, the investigation into Donald Trump, weaponizing

(42:38):
their authority making stuff up in order to persecute Trump
as planned, The fake collusion narrative was.

Speaker 3 (42:44):
Then leaked to the media.

Speaker 4 (42:48):
Yet almost from the outset, the FBI had debunked the
Steele dossier, later firing its author, Christopher Steele, for lying.
Christopher Steele, former British also a paid source for the
FBI that vital information happened to have been concealed. Comy
sought and obtained surveillance warrants from the PISA Court on

(43:12):
carter Page, Trump associate relying on the Steel dossier in court.
No evidence of wrongdoing ever discovered by carter Page because
none existed, And when the Russian hooks failed to prevent
Trump from winning the election, the same adversaries doubled down

(43:32):
on the Clinton inspired scheme. So we go from the
Obama administration over to the Trump administration, where these allegations continue.
Of course, you remember all the hearings they did on this,
the impeachment hearings. New documents released on Friday by Tulsea
Gabbett showed that December eighth, twenty sixteen, draft of the

(43:52):
President's Daily Briefing, Remember this is still Barack Obama assess
that quote, Rush and criminal actors did not impact recent
US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election
infrastructure close quote. So no Russian criminal interference. That's what

(44:15):
she released. That went to the President Barack Obama. But
that conclusion, compiled by top intelligence agencies, did not conform
to the Trump collusion narrative. Wait a second, you guys
can figure out that Russia didn't impact the recent US election.
We've been running around screaming about how the Russians were
working with Trump. Trump was a Russian asset. This doesn't work.

(44:38):
We can't have this. So Comey and others decided to
well put an end to the presidential Daily Briefing circulation
to conduct some alternative narrative, in other words, something involving
the Russians and Donald Trump. So they put to bed
the Presidential Daily Briefings saying no Russian involvement, and the

(44:59):
next day Obama, I'm convened the select Cabinet officials, Clapper Brennan,
FBI Director Andrew McCabe, and new Intelligence Community assessment, what
they call an ICA, was ordered. Give us an intelligence
community asset that undermines the previous determination that Trump was

(45:21):
not in the Russians didn't influence Trump. We need an
alternative document. We need something that says the polar opposite.
Is the bottom line here. The replacement narrative claimed Russian
intervened in the twenty sixteen election to help Trump win
the presidency, even though there's no information that suggests that
the top intelligence agency has concluded that that never happened.

(45:47):
And of course Brennan and Comy made sure that the
Steele dossier was incorporated into this revised Intelligence Community assessment,
the one that's the polar oppice of the previous one,
the Presidential Daily Briefing where they said Russia wasn't involved. Well, look,
the Steele dossier says that we've got all this information
on Trump, all the salacious details. Clearly the Russians were

(46:09):
blackmailing Trump clearly the Russians were involved with this. Comey
then used the Steele dossier to entrap Trump. They were
trying to entrap him into a false confession before the inauguration,
which was why they the speed at which this all
took place. So at that point, the FBI director went

(46:32):
over to Trump Tower with this new whole cloth created
intelligence community assessment, which deceptively alleged Russian interference in the campaign,
and also confronted the president elect Donald Trump with salacious
accusations in the dossier that the bureau knew were fake.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
That didn't work.

Speaker 4 (46:53):
Trump vigorously denied the allegations as utterly preposterous. That that
did not deter Comy and his minions at the FBI.
They escalated their investigation in Trump and propagated the collusion lie.
Clapper leaked the Steele dossier to CNN hmmm, and the

(47:17):
mainstream media spent the next year well convicting the new
president in the court of public opinion no plausible evidence, though.
The only thing they have is a Steele dossier, and
that was a lie. Comy eventually fired. He stole documents
from the FBA out the door and promptly leaked them
to a friend of the media to trigger the appointment
of Special Council that person Robert Mueller. You may remember

(47:40):
that Mueller, his investigation, once concluded, found no evidence of
a criminal collusion conspiracy, so nothing to see here, which
when you go back to the original presidential Daily Briefing,
that's exactly what the intelligence officials told the president those
who were in the room, there was nothing here. Fast

(48:00):
forward several years, multiple investigations, many people's name drugged through
the mud, the Steele dossier everywhere, and people claiming it
was real. Ultimately Mueller, after an investigation, sorry, there's nothing
to see here. So this went on for over a decade,
one succession of events after another, all going after Donald Trump.

(48:22):
Which is an interesting thing because, as I mentioned, I'm
giving credit to Greg Jared of Fox News reporting the
new FBI has already opened a criminal investigation to Brennan
Commy for doing all of this, but as he observes,
they weren't the only ones he should be held to account.
This is a long one and it goes right to

(48:43):
the top Obama and Clinton, who started the whole idea
of Russian collusion from whole cloth, and as and as
Greg Jarrett notes, and there's some strength to this this conclusion.
It all started with the illusion huaks, but it didn't
end there. Trump appears to have been the victim of

(49:04):
an ongoing criminal conspiracy going over nearly a decade, eventually
evolved into the specious prosecutions brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith,
engineered by the Biden administration, and simultaneous cover ups of
suspected illegal activities by the Biden family. Remember Hunter Biden,
how they sat on all the evidence they had about him.
They could have grabbed him at one point, they let

(49:26):
him go. All the information that the FBI had obtained,
a lot of which was confirmed by the Hunter Biden
laptop that ultimately was found. All this going on at
the same time, but the FBI apparently now examining the
possibility of bringing what they call a grand conspiracy case

(49:46):
that would encompass all of the aforementioned folks that were
involved in this over three presidential elections twenty sixteen, twenty twenty,
and twenty four. So if you have you adopt this strategy,
and you try to bring evidence there was a grand conspiracy,
it would extend any expired statute limitations to the date
of more recent overt acts like the raid on mar

(50:07):
A Lago and other events, which if you can relate them,
there you go. It's an ongoing conspiracy. Whether or not
that has legs that can hold the can stand up
in court remains to be seen. But this isn't an
argument I've got to make. It's one for the Department
of Justice, who Telsey Gabbert has referred these documents over
for consideration of prosecution. So isn't it interesting All the

(50:28):
puzzle pieces sort of fall into place when you've got
a new administration who's willing to be transparent with what
they've got behind the scenes. Go back to the original
presidential memo, nothing to see here, No Russians involved. Hillary
Clinton was lying. The Democrat paid for the Steele dossier.

(50:49):
It was fake, it was created whole cloth, and yet
it served to do so much damage to Donald Trump.
They continued to claim that was true and even got
warrants from the Pizer Court based on that teen fifty
five KR see the talk station. Crazy stuff And there's
more to come. First, though, plumbing done right for my
friends at Plumb Type Plumbing, outstanding plumbers. They are they

(51:11):
know you deserve better. They deliver on better, better customer service,
better price, and of course no service fee. There's free
estimates from plumb type plumbing. They enjoy a plus with
the better business payer with good reason. Number one installer
in the Tri State for tankless water heater has been
dwelling on this for a while. Now you get endless
hot water. It never runs out, just flows right through it.
It's hot. On the other side, small too, a lot

(51:33):
smaller than a tank. Took the size of a medium's
and maybe you call it small sized suitcase. Water flows
through it. It instantly heated up and delivered to the
shower or whatever else you're using for hot water, and
again never running out. They last longer than the traditional
tank and of course maybe you're not aware, but lower
energy bills. Traditional water heaters keep a tank water hot

(51:54):
twenty four to seven. Tankless only heats water up when
you need it, meaning less energy waste and true savings
over time. Plump Fight also does trenchless sewer line of repair,

So twenty three fifty five CARCD talk station. Happy Monday.
You're reflecting on all this information is coming out. TELLUSA
GAB to releasing these documents reflecting the Obama administration. Hillary
Clinton launched this Russia collusion lie and an effort to
win the race for Hillary Clinton. Obviously she had that
massive email server problem, right, we all know about that.

(53:47):
But when you think about the lengths to which they,
the collective of these politically biased actors FBI, Department of Justice,
and others. The first they went to undermine Trump and
to try to get him, to try to get Hillary
to win the race. Obviously that didn't happen, but to

(54:07):
undermine anything he wanted to do in his first presidency
by keeping him so busy with legal allegations and charges
of treason, et cetera, trying to impeach the man they wanted.
They so much wanted a continuation of those Obama leftist
liberal years and That's why I said earlier. I was

(54:29):
just thinking, in the back of my mind, what a
beautiful thing that we didn't elect Hillary Clinton, that she
was not elected president. Can you imagine the state of
affairs with this level of corruption if Hillary had four
more years to further enshrine the prior aid of Barack
Obama and all I mean. And you just step back

(54:52):
and listen, you sort of remember the screaming, the whail
and the nashing of tea. Donald Trump, Evil, Donald Trump,
Donald Trump, Oh my god. Well this is because you know,
he stood in the way of this agenda moving forward.
He's the antithesis of the See, they want to convince
you that Donald Trump is the fascist, that Donald Trump's
one wanting to take your rights away from you. Really,

(55:14):
who did more damage to the human rights and the
freedoms and liberties that we enjoy as Americans, as enshrined
in the Bill of Rights than the Obama administration, the
Biden administration and other Democrats. Donald Trump to the rescue.
I suppose she's certainly making the most of it right now,

are people who were around, who were working with the
intelligence community who's so disgusted by what happened. We're starting
to see some of them come out of the woodwork

(55:56):
here because they two like you and I and the
American people want to see justice delivered. So keep your
popcorn out on this one. And maybe one of the
reasons we're all screaming about Epstein documents is to divert
our attention to the information. Tulsa Gabbert is well bringing

(57:44):
Another homicide latest in the city of Cincinnati. Forty six
year old man was found suffering from a gunshot wound
in his chest at the parking lot of the forty
five hundred blocker A rapid Run Pike West Price Hill.
This is about one thirty this morning. Court of Fox nineteen.
Victim taking the UC Medical Center pronounced. No further details
from the police and not clear what led to the
violence or whether or not they have any suspects. Breaking

(58:07):
story from this morning and let us see here since
they man arrested happened over the weekend, accused of reportedly
making terroristic threats against US Immigrations and Customs enforcement agents
and the US official, according to the Assistant Secretary for
Public Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, Tricia McLoughlin.
Fox nineteen reporting on this one, Tricia said Anthony Kelly

(58:28):
will face federal charges for threatening to assault, kidnap, and
murder a United States official. She posted a photo of
this Kelly guy and screenshots of an account connected with him,
one of which has a post you come here for me,
You're gonna get shot and I'm not looking to disable
your pedo.

Speaker 3 (58:48):
A word.

Speaker 4 (58:49):
I'm shooting for the kill. I won't give an f
about your names, who you are, or anything else. You
will be shot. You will be killed. Okay, Kelly now
in the Butler County jail under a hold for FED
meaning I suspect maybe an illegal immigrant or in the

(59:09):
country illegally. Maybe they're holding him for the federal agents
to come and pick him up on federal charges. Either way,
they got the microscope on him. Let's see what Matt's
got this morning. Mike or Matt, Welcome to the Morning
Show and a happy Monday to you, sir.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
Oh morning, Bryan.

Speaker 12 (59:27):
Yeah, I was remembering if when you were talking about
all this evidence coming out now, I remembered back. I
think it was the twenty twenty election when you had
Rudy Juliani and I can't remember the woman's full name,
but I think her first name was Sydney, and they
said we have a fire hose amount of information of evidence,

(59:51):
and that kind of just kind of went away.

Speaker 6 (59:53):
She was like black balls.

Speaker 12 (59:55):
And of course we know what Judy Ruleiani went through,
but to be all that's going to come out now
and then those can be you know, I.

Speaker 4 (01:00:05):
Suspect I suspect it will, at least under a Trump administration.
You know, if the Democrats get control again, this will
all amazingly disappear and nothing else will be said of it.
And you go back to any of the comments that
were made and the fact that they were lambasted and
made fun of based upon their comments. Mainstream media, legacy media,

(01:00:26):
they were all on board on this. Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia.
You heard it over and over again every single day,
parroting what the Biden administration was telling you, parroting what
the Obama administration obviously launched and started before Trump took over.
So yeah, it's easy to sell a lie when everyone's
repeating the lie over and over again. You hear it,
and you say it enough people start to believe it

(01:00:46):
and take it for the truth. Thank God for a
change of administration. It's amazing. The border gets immediately shut down.
No more flooding of illegal immigrants across the border. Why, well,
we got a new administration. Oh look, here's a whole
bunch of documents showing that you are they're all lied to.
Oh thank you, new administration. Appreciate what you're doing for
the American people. No reason I'm jaded and cynical. You

(01:01:09):
know exactly why, Matt. I appreciate the call, my friend,
have a wonderful week. You can call two if I

So you had the other setifaction circum concern of the
Russia collusion. You know, this whole cloth creation that Russian
interfere with the presidential elections benefit Donald Trump. Right, you
had internal sources saying there was no Russian collusion here,
the Russians did not influence elections, and yet brought back
Obama directed them to come up with another narrative saying
that the Russians were in fact involved. And that's where

(01:04:04):
your Steele dossier was brought into play. So they changed
their opinion, they changed the whole narrative on it, just
because they were directed to do so. So ignoring what
the internal intelligence concluded nothing involving the Russians into the

(01:04:24):
Russians were involved. One hundred and eighty degree shift. Well
check this out. We got new documents from America First
Legal is a conservative organization kind of like Judicial Watch,
and they, you know, send Foyer requests out and they
obtained documents, and so that's what they did. So they
obtained all these records from the Department of Justice, Biden

(01:04:45):
Administration's Department of Justice, which was looking for a federal hook,
a federal connection, a federal law for the purpose of
investigating and criminally charging parents that protested school policies regarding COVID, transgenderism,
critical race theory. You remember those the school protests. You know,
you go to the board meetings and you'd have moms
and dads angry about the curriculum, and then there was

(01:05:07):
all this, Oh my god, they're a danger and threat
to humanity. Ah, we better do something about this. These
documents obtained by America First Legal, but they say conclusively
prove a memo from former US Attorney Merrick Gardland, mobilize
the full force of federal government's firepower against concerned parents,

(01:05:29):
not to protect schools, but through silence dissent, and that
the ensuing investigation was politically orchestrated and coordinated with a
Biden Whitehouse. That's according to the charges from America First Legal. Now,
what do we have by way of documentation?

Speaker 2 (01:05:46):
They have?

Speaker 4 (01:05:47):
The emails were produced, the photocopies of the emails and
documents were all published on their website.

Speaker 3 (01:05:52):
One letter.

Speaker 4 (01:05:54):
They obtained, Kevin Chambers, aid to the Attorney General, wrote
to a colleague, this is in October of twenty one.

Speaker 3 (01:05:59):
Quote.

Speaker 4 (01:05:59):
We are are aware aware the challenge here is finding
a federal hook. But White House has been in touch
about whether we can assist in some form or fashion.
This federal hook is is there a federal law in
play here that allows us to charge or go after

(01:06:21):
parents who are interrupting these meetings. It's a simple legal question.
Do we have a law on the books on a
federal level. The FBI was asked to assist local law
enforcement with what they described in this Garland directive as
disturbing spike and harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against
school administrators. So the National School Board Association is the

(01:06:45):
one that brought this to the attention of the administration
Biden administration was asked by the school Board Association to
investigate parents. You may recall when that came out was
rather an amazing revelation that the school National school Board
Association was telling the White House, or asking the White
House to investigate you for your behavior at school boards,

(01:07:08):
claiming that you, if you were protesting, were a domestic terrorist.
That later was was retracted ultimately, yet career Department of
Justice lawyers were concerned about what legal action they could take.
One DOJ attorney wrote to colleagues and an email dated
October of twenty one. Listen, He said, I read the

(01:07:29):
letter from the National school Board Association and looked at
the links for a handful of footnotes, and it appears
to me that the vast, vast majority of behaviors cited
cannot be reached by federal law. In other words, nobody
violated federal Well, there's no federal law in the books

(01:07:49):
that could be asserted that they violated.

Speaker 6 (01:07:52):
He said.

Speaker 4 (01:07:53):
I saw three stories that involved what sounds like possible
true threat. Almost all the language used is protected by
the First Amendment. The main issue to me, it seems
to be the disruption and obstruction of school board meetings,
which can be reached by local trespassing laws or disturbance
of the peace laws, but nothing remotely in violation of
federal law. So it seems we're ramping up an awful

(01:08:17):
lot of federal manpower for what is currently non federal conduct.
There's your internal memo from someone on the front lines
investigating whether it's appropriate for the FBI to even be
involved in this. The answer clearly no. And yet we
learned later from a whistleblower that the FBI launched dozens
of investigation in the parents after Garland directed the agency

(01:08:38):
to do it. Hmm, chilling effect much. Now, ultimately, what
you take away from this is, Okay, listen, there's nothing
to see here.

Speaker 6 (01:08:50):
Though.

Speaker 4 (01:08:50):
We don't have a federal law in the books to
go after these parents. Leave it to local law enforcement.
We're a limited resource agency. We got the stuff to
look into. We've got lots of crimes out there in
the world that actually are federal crimes. So why are
we spending all these allocating all this money and resources
when it doesn't involve federal law. Good question, But they

(01:09:12):
did it anyway, and it was widely reported. Obviously a
chilling effect intended here. The follow up on this ultimately
would have been the Feds had no nothing to hang
their hat on, but they did an investigation. Can you
imagine an FBI agent coming to your front door and
asking you questions about what you said in the school

(01:09:32):
board meeting and that word gets out, Oh my god,
if you say anything in the school board meeting, the
federal government via the FBI is going to come on
your front porch, knock on your door, and want to
have a conversation with you about your activities at the
school board meeting. Now, if you fought them, I guess
you would have backed them in a corner because there

(01:09:53):
was no federal law at play here. Could they have
worked with local law enforcement to the extent you violated
a state law? Yes, they could have worked with them,
But why would they allocate the resources to do that?
How much work can it possibly take for local law
enforcement to review the footage of the school board meeting,
see what you or somebody else did by way of
disruption and determine if they the local law enforcement can

(01:10:16):
figure out whether you broke a state law that doesn't
require federal agents. And they knew they were wasting their
time and spending their wheels at the outset because internal
guidance from the lawyers said that no federal laws were broken.

About KRCG Talk Station Monday, Like It or Not, Get
you True quickly coming up seven twenty Christopher Smith and
meantime over the Finals The Switch. Jay's got to say
this morning, Jay, thanks for calling on a Happy Monday
to you.

Speaker 13 (01:11:49):
Happy Monday, Brian, Hey, I applaud you for reporting out
on the FBI and their involvement in the in the
school board.

Speaker 1 (01:11:56):
But I think there's a bigger.

Speaker 13 (01:11:57):
Story than than even that, is that if you listen
closely to local news, and I know that you do,
every time there is any kind of crime that goes
on inside the borders of Ohio, it doesn't seem like
the Ohio State Police handle it anymore. It's always that
the FBI is involved is the tagline at the end.

Speaker 6 (01:12:17):
Of the story.

Speaker 13 (01:12:18):
FBI is now involved. And there was a radio show
up in Northeast Ohio where they had a state cops
seem like a nice guy, you call in and ask
him anything.

Speaker 14 (01:12:29):
So I called in and asked him about.

Speaker 13 (01:12:31):
This and said, why is it that the FBI seems
to be involved in all all the crimes that are
being committed within the borders of Ohio. I don't It's
very infrequently that I hear that the FBI is not involved.
It seems like they're always involved. Did the state police
need to have the FBI on every single crime scene?

(01:12:51):
And he was very supportive as oh no that he said,
it's actually a really good thing because there's been times
we've had bad guys and we were going to lock
them up for two years, but if we get the
FBI involved, they can throw them away for seven years. Now,
are we still a sovereign state with state laws?

Speaker 6 (01:13:06):
See?

Speaker 4 (01:13:07):
That goes to the point of that That goes to
the point that the internal lawyer was saying, Listen, if
you are want to investigate the local school boards and
this activity that you claim is terrorist activity, there isn't
a federal law that they've broken. So the question is
in any given circumstance involving something that happens here in
the state of Ohio, Yes, there's a law in the

(01:13:27):
book in the state of Ohio, and that's what local
law enforcement is supposed to deal with. But is there
a parallel law something that is covered by federal law
as well? Quite often they are redundant. So in local
law enforcement likes using the FBI's resources. Why because, well,
they usually have limited resources themselves, and the FBI has
access to more information, databases, and resources that local law

(01:13:50):
enforcement quite often does not have in place. It's called,
you know, working collaborative Italy. I used to have Sheriff
Neil in the program we're talking about working collaboratively. The
Hamilton County Sheriff's office along with regional law enforcement and
the FBI all working together, sharing the information and the
services they have and helping each other solve crime. So
I understand the motivation for wanting to work with the

(01:14:12):
FBI because of those resources that are available. But you
make your question is a legitimate one. Are they working
on a federal law that has been violated? And quite
often I imagine no, like investigating parents that protest at school.
Boards investigated it, but there was no violation of federal law,

(01:14:33):
which that parallels your stated concerns, Jay, and I appreciate
them very much. Federalize the law enforcement and we do
lose our sovereignty as a consequence of that. Do appreciate
your raising that. Jay, Feel free to call. We got

Speaker 14 (01:16:28):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:16:28):
Moving over to energy policy, I saw I had a
couple of articles with that energy policy, and I appreciate
the Wall Street journals comment on this. It just illustrates
how twisted people's normal reactions will come. When you throw
in government subsidies and mandates and edicts, you end up

(01:16:48):
with crazy, crazy outcomes. I mean, I appreciate capitalism and
it's the free market reality of it. You know, build
something that people want, they will buy it. The better
mouse trap. You're going to become well wealthy, and you'll
employ people. You'll evaluate things based upon you know people's needs,

(01:17:08):
the realities of your market, what the competition is. You'll
do the best you can. If nobody's telling you what
to do and how to do it, and that's where
the government comes in and ruins everything. So I saw
this one article over at zero Hedge Green Agenda. Fallau
Democrat led Northeast now has the highest electricity prices in
the nation. They've been retiring a stable, affordable fossil fuel power,

(01:17:33):
closing down their gas plants, of course, getting rid of
nukes to the extent they had any in the first place,
in favor of of course, so called green projects, solar
and wind. They are not as stable. You end up
with blackouts when the wind ning blowing in the sun
nane shining, you're not generating power. This disrupts the grid.
It's unreliable, and it's more expensive to build these in

(01:17:55):
the final analysis than it is a gas plant. So
why are the folks in the worth He's paying more
because they've been pushed over into these green projects to
the exclusion of things that work and are efficient and
generate power constantly. We move over to the editorial board
of the journal. The real risk to the electric grid
power shortages are coming thanks to wind and solar subsidies.

(01:18:17):
Here's how they distort energy investment democrats attacking the GOP's
budget bill for phasing out subsidies for wind and solar power,
claiming this is going to cause power shortages and higher
electric rates. The evidence suggests the opposite.

Speaker 3 (01:18:29):
This.

Speaker 4 (01:18:30):
According to a new Energy Department study, Journal, WILL points out,
as we've been writing for years, the reliability of the
US electrical grid is in trouble. Energy report projects potential
power shortfalls in twenty thirty as one hundred and four
gigawatts of base load power retire in the next five years.
That's your reliable energy generation. But here's a really bad

(01:18:52):
Newsday write that shortfall will exist even if that production
is replaced as expected, with two hundred and nine gigas
of mostly solar and wind generation that's under development thanks
to subsidies and credits. Americans would lose power in twenty
thirty for an average of thirty four days, assuming typical

(01:19:13):
weather condition. If heat waves or storms stress the grid out,
it just could reach fifty five days. Even without plant shutdowns,
Americans will lose power for eleven days. Amid demand growth
like your artificial intelligence demand, the power shortages will be
worse in Middle America, where demand is growing fast is
owing to yes AI data centers and renewables that are

(01:19:37):
displaced in colon gas. How can this be the answer
is that the Inflation Reduction Act turbocharge subsidies for wind
and solar in ways that are distorting energy investment. Because
the subsidies can offset more than fifty percent of a
project's cost, solar and wind became more profitable to build
the new baseload plants gas plants. The credits enable wind

(01:20:02):
and solar to underprice coal and gas plans in competitive
power markets. That paragraph alone points the problem out. Would
this happen? Would we have unreliable wind and solar power
that would cost so much more to build than traditional
gas plans.

Speaker 14 (01:20:18):
No.

Speaker 4 (01:20:18):
The only reason we have it is because the ill
name ridiculously named Inflation Reduction Act. They created the ability
for wind and solar to be profitable. Built on you,
the whole we are continuing to dig in turn of
the national debt. I mean, these credits don't just come
out of nowhere. I mean you just it's written into

(01:20:39):
the law, and it actually is real money, real money
that's being paid but offset by the federal taxpayer.

Speaker 6 (01:20:45):
That's you.

Speaker 4 (01:20:48):
To the profitability of the energy producers who well take
the careative incentive and move in that direction only because
of the Inflation Reduction Act into the solar, wind, and batteries,
which also qualify for Inflation Redeption Act. Subsidies are projected
to make up ninety three percent of new utility scale

(01:21:08):
electricity capacity this year. Colon nuclear and gas plants are
still needed to back up solar and wind, but they
can't make a profit running only some of the time.
Thus many have been closing, thus jeopardizing grid reliability. The
renewable lobby claims that new gas plants can't be built
in time to meet.

Speaker 3 (01:21:29):
The power demands that are rising.

Speaker 4 (01:21:30):
Ergo, the argument goes, taxpayers must subsidize wind and solar
in need electric demand. But what if? But if what
they say is true, why do wind and solar need subsidies?
There will be a market incentive to build wind and
solar anyway, right, Well, you can't build the gas plants
of the new plants in time we have rising demand,

(01:21:51):
so great point, What the hell is the subsidy all about?
They acknowledge there's a shortage new gas turb owing to
the surging global demand, but turbine manufacturers are expanding production
and the phase out of the Inflation Reduction Acts. Tax
credits will provide them with more certainty to make investments

(01:22:12):
in new capacity welcome to the renewed demand for gas turbines.
Turbine makers expanded production in the early two thousands as
demand for new gas plants rose, but they were left
with the excess capacity when demand weekend last decade, in
part because federal subsidies and state renewable mandates encourage utilities

(01:22:34):
to buy power from solar and wind instead of gas.
Of course, that'll drive down demand for these turbines. You
forced it on us. You took away our choice, which
had the ripple effect of impacting I'm sure job losses
over in the turbine production companies. Nobody wept for those

(01:22:54):
people losing jobs because you mandated the adoption of wind
and solar. Wind and solar projects also face long weight
times to connect to the grid from four to nine years.
According to a recent study, the Inflation Reduction Act increased
delays by increasing the projects in the pipeline through the incentives,

(01:23:15):
So the phase out of the tax credits could benefit
renewable projects that don't need subsidies to be economic. The
claim that tax credits reduce electric rates is contradicted by experience.
Go back to the article about the Northeast power costs.
Wind and solar must be backed by peak or gas
plants or batteries, which both cost more than three times

(01:23:36):
as much as base load power. Renewables also cause price
spikes when there are power shortages, and they require more
transition investment or transmission investments to balance fluctuations and loads
and frequencies.

Speaker 3 (01:23:46):
Think about that.

Speaker 4 (01:23:47):
You're forcing people to off wind and solar, but at
the same time, because it doesn't work all the time,
you got grid problems due to under the lack of
reliability on those, and then you have to have the
backup plant sitting there waiting to kick. When the sun
doesn't shine, the wind doesn't blow. You don't need a backup.
When you've got the gas plant or the nuke plant.
It works twenty four to seven, assuming there isn't some

(01:24:10):
major disaster there. You don't back up and turn to windmills.
In solar because you never have a problem having to
turn to those. It provides constant, reliable power. So we're
creating a grid here just in an effort to so
called b green that requires backup generators to kick in
when the wind isn't blowing and the sun isn't shining.

(01:24:31):
They say, all of this is why Texas's residential power
prices have risen some forty percent over the last seven years.
The Renewable Lobby says the financial benefits of the tax
credits are passed on to electric customers, which may be
true when state regulated utilities build projects, but the credits
usually pad the profits of the independent generators. The best

(01:24:53):
way to make the grid reliable again is to let
supply and demand work in energy markets without distortions or
of man dates and subsidies. The GOP budget bill takes
a step in that direction, and that should be welcomed. Amen,
maybe we'll start acting rationally and reasonably. I know someone
out there is in the audiogoing, well, the reason we're

(01:25:13):
doing this is because of global warming. Really, really go
back through the supply chain, at the manufacturer and cost
and transportation and all the rare earth minerals and elements
and everything else that's involved in this so called green revolution,
you will find that there's nothing green at all about it.

(01:25:34):
Not to mention the fact that it props up the
Chinese Communist Party in China. It's a vast majority of
this so called green technology is generated in China. Fifty

It's the highest R value foam on the market. And
what they do is injected into the exterior walls of
your home, those who are under insulated and those who
have no insulation in the exterior walls. You folks are
the target audience because you're going to really enjoy the
energy savings so much savings that you probably'll cover the
cost of the insulation, which is still only ninety nine
dollars a month interest free, ninety nine a month interest free.

(01:26:20):
I always think about it in terms of like just
just don't go out to dinner one night a month,
and you've got the cost of the insulation cover But
then when you get the energy savings, it may cover
the cost. So eh, nothing but money to be made here,
guaranteed return on investment. And it's a free inspection, so
find out if you're under insulated. If you are, they'll
tell you. If you're not, you're in the best place
you can be. They'll say, no, we don't need USA's

(01:26:40):
foam in the exterior walls. You'll get a twelve undred

I listen, man, I can't imagine why they wouldn't. You
know you're heavily involved in politics. You stay on top

your opinions matter and are valuable, most notably as we
approach November with an election for council and the mayor.

dropping the ball here. And I don't know all the
circumstances surrounding it. But here are some of my thoughts
about it. First, this was a heinous crime. This wasn't
this wasn't prostitution. No, this was grown people having sex
with minor children. Yes, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen year

(01:29:05):
olds and then those who were older in quotes were eighteen, nineteen, twenty,
and twenty one. And so any girl dad out there,
you know, any girl in your life, and you're thinking,
these are grown men having sex with our daughters and
exploiting them. And so this was about the rich and

(01:29:29):
the famous, and everybody knows it. We know that the
people that are on that list that I do believe
exists that we know that those are the rich and
the famous, and in their mind they have everything to lose.
This isn't the one percent, This is less than half

(01:29:50):
of percent. And the people that were involved in this
are monsters. They're walking around us in big positions, going
to black tie events, still lecturing us, most likely on
societal morality, and we don't know who they are. Why

(01:30:11):
haven't we given a voice to the girls who are
now women to tell us who these people are that
they were having sex with because they know and a
grand jury release isn't gonna give us the details. You're
the lawyer, Your beautiful wife is the lawyer. You know,
the prosecution doesn't put their entire case on so you're

(01:30:34):
gonna only get a glimpse into it. We know that
there are people out there, and I'm gonna name some
of them that could come and tell a story to
the American public, who's very interested in this because the
everyday guy out here, the everyday person out here doing
basic criminal stuff that's crazy. I'm talking traffic tickets. We

(01:30:57):
don't get these kind of breaks. Everybody tell who we are,
they post our information up. You got a traffic ticket,
you have to show up to court. What is it
about this case that it seems like the White House
and even President Trump might not want this information to
make it into the hands of the American people.

Speaker 3 (01:31:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:31:17):
Well, and even an announcement that the you know, we
can't give you the information because it's the subject of
ongoing Department of Justice criminal investigations. A statement to that
effect would sort of address what you're talking about. Will
these these terrible people, these molesters of you and what
you and I would call children will they be held accountable. Well,

(01:31:38):
you don't know yet, but they're investigating that, they're looking
into it. That may be bringing possible criminal charges against
the people who did this. And so that's why I
can't give you the Epstein files as they currently exist.
That would satisfy me to some degree, Christopher, but that's
not what was said. He just said, there's really nothing
there there.

Speaker 14 (01:31:57):
And everybody knows that the woman who is now serving
twenty years miss Maxwell, that she has all the information.
The President of the United States, I'm not the smartest
guy in the room that he could legally provide her
the pardon, the space to tell her story on the

(01:32:20):
open mic in front of Congress without incriminating herself. If
the White House really wanted to know what girls were
being molested by what famous rich men, and I think
that we deserve to know the whole story. We can't
keep covering these things up. And that's why seventy percent

(01:32:40):
of Americans when they do these polls, want to know
what happened here. It is a very big mistake from
the White House. And I'm telling you, politicians overstep their
boundaries here. This is a very big mistake by the
White House. It's a big mistake by BONDI it's a
big mistake by by the president. And you're seeing dissension

(01:33:03):
in the cabinet. When you see that kind of dissension,
Brian Thomas, it means there's something there, may have more
information than we have. And you have people saying I
want to resign over the decisions that are being made.

Speaker 4 (01:33:18):
Yeah, and you have the Democrats now screaming for the
release of the Epstein documents when they're president Joe Biden's
sitting on him for four years in his term of office,
and not a people was uttered about it while all
the same things were swirling around in terms of allegations
and demands for information and you know, wanting people to
be held accountable.

Speaker 14 (01:33:34):
I mean, this is incredibly fair, crossing political lines, It
crosses all of this crosses all political lines. This is
about the rich and the famous, and you and I
would not be surprised if Biden's son was on the list, right,
And so everybody seems to be trying to cover for everybody.

(01:33:57):
I know him, I have a relationship, I know you,
I played golf with you. I don't want to destroy
your life. The American people deserve to know the truth.
And that's the beginning of my segment. And the White
House and specifically President Trump, they are making a mistake
that conservatives out here who really believe in the Constitution

(01:34:20):
are not going to turn a blind eye because he's
deciding that he doesn't want to release information for whatever reason.
This story is not going away, actually getting bigger.

Speaker 3 (01:34:30):
I think you are right.

Speaker 4 (01:34:33):
If you have KROCD Talks Station Money Monday is Brian
James up at the top of the Art News. The meantime,
Christopher Smitheman's on the phone venting the spleen. Christopher have
Adam my friend.

Speaker 14 (01:34:42):
Well, look, Dan Bongino out in here with this part
of it, you know, is saying that he might step
aside over it. And these are people that have more
information than the public, than the people listening than you,
and I that is serious. Dan By, you know, has
a lot of credibility out here with his podcast prior

(01:35:04):
to joining the administration and his service to the country.
The other thing I want to say in conclusion is
that you have to believe in Santa Claus and the
tooth Fairy. And I'm not a conspiracy person. If you
think that Estein committed suicide, meaning this notion that this
guy is it is still by himself and hangs himself.

(01:35:26):
And there's video that kind of just disappears for a
little bit old. The video is always in the loop
in this kind of in this period. We just missed
this part of the video. Look, you've gotta believe in
Santa Claus coming down your chimney and the tooth fairy
if anybody out here believes that he committed suicide. So
all of this is kind of cascading over the White
House and President Trump and Bondie and I just am

(01:35:49):
saying publicly they should all be careful, meaning they think
they have loyalties that extend beyond what anybody would think
is misinformation, corruption or cover up by conservatives. They're absolutely
did wrong about it, right, meaning Conservatives are coming and
they're still going to talk about it, and they're going

(01:36:09):
to demand the transparency that the Trump campaign said that
they were going to provide yea prior to his election.

Speaker 4 (01:36:17):
See, there's your problem right there. There's Trump's problem. It
doesn't his his pronouncements of late and most notably his
going on full on attack against people in his own
party for demanding the documents that I just find to
be completely bizarre behavior given his prior comments on this subject.
It's one hundred and eighty degrees the opposite direction and

(01:36:38):
with no explanation. And that's what's feeding and fueling a
lot of the conspiracy theories like whoa, whoa, whoa? What
is going on here? He was making demands, he was
promising the release of all this information, along with the
JFK documents and the MLK documents everything else. But here
he is putting the brakes on him, saying not nothing
moving on and quick complaining about it. I don't even

(01:36:58):
want to hear from you people anymore. I don't even
I disavow you. And it's bizarre. It's just totally bizarre,
and he.

Speaker 14 (01:37:07):
Can't disavow anybody. The public is going to continue to clamor,
and they're even going to clamor more. There'll be more
social posts, there'll be more demands for the information. And
I want to conclude by saying, look, there's a woman
sitting in jail. Her last name is Maxwell for twenty years.
She got a twenty year sentence. She's second in command

(01:37:28):
the White House. I'm not a lawyer, could legally protect
her so that she could come to Congress and say
everything that she knows by name. So we don't need
a list. If the list doesn't exist, the person exists.
And why is it the White House demanding that level
of transparency. They're partning everybody else. Let's parton her to

(01:37:51):
the extent. You don't have to pardon her so she
doesn't have to go back to jail, but you can
protect her testimony so that she is not retried for
any thing that she's saying to Congress. So we actually
find out what happened to these girls, because at the
end of the day, they're victims. Here there are twelve
and thirteen and fourteen and fifteen and sixteen and seventeen
year old girls who were being raped and manipulated by

(01:38:16):
grown people who were famous and rich.

Speaker 3 (01:38:20):
That's the problem it is. It is different rules.

Speaker 14 (01:38:24):
For different people, different for different people.

Speaker 4 (01:38:31):
Here Prettybouve KCD Talk Station Brian Thomas with Christopher Smithman,
pioting away from the Epstein Gate realities and moving over
to matters related to the upcoming election.

Speaker 6 (01:38:42):
Christopher, you got the floor, my friend, little brother.

Speaker 14 (01:38:45):
Another shooting last night, right Hill. You know rapid run
park and another young person did yeah. And you have
a council that remains on summer break. You have a
council either one or two things are happening. It's either
they don't care or they don't have a solution, or

(01:39:08):
maybe both.

Speaker 10 (01:39:10):
Yeah, maybe both.

Speaker 14 (01:39:12):
And so the reality of it is we have a
mayor that most people have never seen. They don't even
know who he is. There no reason even saying is
name right. And we have members of council that just
seem disconnected by this senseless violence that's happening almost every day.
It's not isolated to a neighborhood. It's not isolated to

(01:39:32):
a week day or weekend. It's seven days a week,
including Sunday. It includes the banks, it includes outer parts
of downtown, it includes our fifty two neighborhoods. People are
being slaughtered out here. And here are some of the
thoughts in the solutions when I was serving as the
vice mayor. One re coordinated with the share meaning we

(01:39:56):
ask the shriff to come in and help us with
extra patrols in our in the air, give us some
visibility in places, just dry and be present. Number two
reaching out to the governor the state of Ohio saying,
bring in your helicopter, bring in your state highway patrol.
These are state routes, bring in them. Let them patrol.

(01:40:17):
These areas down places like fifty like Reading Road, their routes,
our state highway patrolman. But I guarantee you you have
a city hall that doesn't want the help. It's not
the police department, it's not the command staff. It's the
mayor and members of council who do not want to
show in their minds the rest of the fifty two neighborhoods.

(01:40:40):
We really don't have a solution. Look asking for help.
Saying you don't know is what intelligent people do. They
reach out to their partners and say, listen, man, we've
got a situation that's happening. Young people are being slaughtered.
Adults are not choosing to go downtown and hang out
in the Dora because they don't want to be shot.
Like you saw a mainstream somebody just drove by Ryan

(01:41:02):
Thomas and sprayed the street with bullet. Nobody is going
to go down there with their right mind when they
can go somewhere else, right out in the suburbs where
the shootings aren't happening. And so I'm the former vice
mayor of the City of Cincinnati, and I'm not going downtown,
and I'm not going to allow my daughter to go downtown,
and I'm not going to allow my children, at at

(01:41:23):
least I'm sharing with my adult children. Please stay out
of downtown. There's something going on with the leadership at
city Hall. The upcoming election elections are local. I'm focusing
in on Stephen Gooden. He's running as a child right,
common sense guy running for city council. A lot of
people might not know him. I served with him for

(01:41:46):
a while. Incredibly smart, well thought, came to council prepared,
didn't introduce crazy resolutions that had nothing to do with
the business the council. A solid guy, a lawyer, very smart.
We would do the city great good if all of us, collectively,
no matter what your political party, was, voted for Steven

(01:42:07):
good I like a Linda Matthews. Linda Matthews is running,
lives in Avondale. Great person, thoughtful, common sense.

Speaker 6 (01:42:17):
Vote for her.

Speaker 14 (01:42:18):
My point to you is that we've got to As
I go through the list, I'm going to continue to
identify to the public who I think are good candidates
that they should hone in on places like Sailor parks
who don't take a sample ballot, They write on a
piece of paper. They know where they're voting before they
get there, they do their homework. I'm sure there are
lots of other neighborhoods like that, but Saylor Park is

(01:42:40):
really like that. Places like College Hill very much like that.
If you're a candidate, you got a shout out in
College Hill. The point is that we can't just keep
voting for the same people and think we're gonna get
a different outcome. The guy running Bowman, who's running for mayor,
it's one of the reasons I'm supporting him, right, is saying,
this is somebody that wants to roll up his sleeves.

(01:43:02):
This notion of me talking about who.

Speaker 8 (01:43:04):
His brother is.

Speaker 14 (01:43:05):
That's like I've got four older brothers. Yeah right, we're
all different. You're acting like I'm the same as my
brother Albert, or I'm the same as my brother Herbert.
Or I'm the same as my brother Joe. Or I'm
the same as my brother James. Or I'm the same
as my only sister may We're all very different. This
democratic campaign, This is who his brother is therefore this

(01:43:28):
disqualifies him. This is pure insanity. And these are the
kinds of things that democrats do at the end of
the day to try to keep power. The reality is
African Americans, young people with guns are killing each other
in our city, and we need to elect people that
actually care about making sure that that stops.

Speaker 4 (01:43:49):
Yeah, and it's a difficult challenge from someone in elected
capacity to solve the problem that I think is an
issue of a problem at home, and that's lack of
parents who care. I've mentioned a million times, Christopher, I
know you would have gotten your butt whipped if you'd
have gone out and hung out at three o'clock in
the morning in downtown Cincinnati with a gang of fellow teenagers.
I knew you had curfews growing up. I certainly did.

(01:44:11):
We had some measure of discipline and some expectations at
homes on how to conduct yourself properly. And let's face it,
getting a hold of a firearm and just unloading into
a group of people, in what possible way does that
benefit anyone at all? How is that manifesct Like if
someone on the left would say, well, it's because they
grew up in a bad neighborhood and they're victims of racism.

(01:44:32):
How does unloading on a group of innocent people, how
is that a product of a racist environment or some
poor upbring I don't I can't draw a line between
the two. It doesn't make any sense. If they targeted,
they sympathize.

Speaker 3 (01:44:47):
Go ahead.

Speaker 14 (01:44:47):
I'm emphasizing to you, Brian Thomas, that there was absolutely
a time in our society where poverty had no connection
with poor values. Right, It's notion that someone is poor
and therefore it doesn't have good values. Look, there are
single moms out here, there are families where mom and
dad are there. You've got grandparents that are out there

(01:45:09):
raising kids, and they know where.

Speaker 8 (01:45:11):
Their teenagers are.

Speaker 14 (01:45:12):
And so what I'm trying to tell city Hall is
just because you open up a rec center, which I
think is good, or you open up a swimming pool,
the bad guys aren't going there. Here's how you solve
the problem. We need police visibility over time. We need
to make sure they're officers in uniform, in position, with
their cars and their lights on. You've gotta build confidence

(01:45:34):
with your officers that if something happens there that's on
the margin, that you're gonna stand with your officers when
one of these young people walk up with a block
and they're shooting at somebody, and the officer decides, I
have to end this with force that you're not going
to try to destroy the officer, his family, his parents,
and his whole world are her old world. City Hall

(01:45:56):
has a problem with with with managing a police apartment
and in energizing them to do proactive policing because they
don't trust City Hall. That's the issue. And the chief,
as good as the Chief DG is, there's no way
she can substitute the mayor coming to a roll call,

(01:46:17):
or the mayor going on a ride along, or the
mayor having a press conference surrounded by police officers saying
I support the men and women in blue. He'll never
do it because he's interested in a primary where he
knows his base will not support him. Because they want
to reimagine the police department. They want to defund the
police department, and they want to send counselors out when
we need cops on police runs. Black men and women

(01:46:41):
are losing their lives out here, and I'm tired of
these democrats at City Hall allowing it to happen with
their silence, spending time on summer break. These are Americans.
You care about them, Brian Thomas, your listeners care about them.
You're not focused on their race. These are Americans, and
they're dying in our streets, and we have a mayor

(01:47:02):
and a council that are accent. I'm never going to
let him off the hook. I'm never going to let
him off the hook.

Speaker 1 (01:47:08):
Your summer ice chests of information.

Speaker 2 (01:47:12):
It's essential to know what's going.

Speaker 1 (01:47:13):
On inside KARC the talk station.

Speaker 3 (01:47:19):
Eight o five, the fifty five KRCD Talk station. Happy Monday,
by the time's right here.

Speaker 4 (01:47:25):
Always looking forward to this segment because we get to
hear from all Worth Financials, Brian James, talk Money Matters.
You call it Money Monday with Brian James. Welcome back,
Brian Hope. You had a nice weekend.

Speaker 15 (01:47:34):
Good morning, nice hot, sweaty weekend, as we've become used
to over the past several weeks.

Speaker 4 (01:47:38):
Well, I know my grass is as high as an
elephant's eye. Going back to Oklahoma the musical, I got
to get the grass cut and he keeps raining on me. Anyhow,
moving away from that and talking that matters financial now,
I know Trump's been complaining about the FED chair. He
wants interest rates lower. Powell says, no, obviously hasn't lowered

(01:47:59):
the end or straight Jerome Powell currently head of the FED. Now,
Trump has already said he wouldn't fire Powell. Powell said
he'd never leave the job absent dying. So we have
until May. I guess there's going to be a natural
changing in the of the guard next May.

Speaker 15 (01:48:13):
Yeah, I may have twenty twenty six. And let's not
forget that. Trump himself did a point this particular FED chair,
which is kind of funny. He was a comment from
President Trump the other day last week sometime that he
was surprised when he was appointed. Well the words came
out of your mouth. So yeah, not sure exactly where
that surprise comes from, but anyhow, Yeah, so he's he's
pushing for pushing for a replacement. Trump says he will

(01:48:36):
not remove him. That we'll we'll see if that if
that actually sticks. But that doesn't mean we're not gonna
go ahead and have the conversation about who might replace
in May of twenty six when this current term is up.

Speaker 4 (01:48:45):
Right, I did in quite a few names being thrown
around and Scott Dissent, for example, is one of them.
But he's happy where he is as the Treasury Secretary,
so he's already said no, I don't want the job.
But beyond that, we could talk about some of the
other names that are thrown around. But let's as a
fundamental thing, if Powell was out, whether he got fired
or he died or he quit, just because you name

(01:49:07):
a new chairman of the Fed, doesn't mean they're going
to lower interest rates, does it, right?

Speaker 2 (01:49:11):
And the.

Speaker 15 (01:49:13):
Problem is that President Trump super super super once interest
rates to come down, and he has he said that
all through his first term, and he said that all
through the campaign, and of course he's still trumpeting those ideas.
Those are that's obviously an extremely business friendly proposition. If
rates are lower than it's cheaper to do business, and
we would get an immediate pop in the stock market,
a little possibly a little bit of a sugar high.

Speaker 6 (01:49:33):
Because the concern.

Speaker 15 (01:49:34):
Behind that, and the reason we don't necessarily want to
do this, is because that can quickly trigger inflation, which
we've just spent however, many years trying to tamp down
from the COVID process. So at this point, the concern
is that if he if he is able to get
what he wants by simply putting a puppet or a
mouthpiece in there, then that the long term chaos that

(01:49:55):
could come out of that would be pretty dangerous in
terms of overall inflation spikes. Plus, the FED has always
been famously independent politically. Yeah, that's one of the departments
that really has not been impacted by politics so much.

Speaker 6 (01:50:08):
There is a little bit of history there.

Speaker 15 (01:50:09):
Nixon got involved in it and it did create some
chaos and inflation and played a role in the stagflation
era of the seventies. So there is precedent we can
look at to see what happens when we get too
much political control. But you know, historically that area has
stayed relatively free of political interference.

Speaker 4 (01:50:26):
Well, I recall Carter screaming and yelling about Paul Volker
because he one of the interest rates lowered back when
Vulkar was head of the chair ahead of the FED
and Volker refused to relent.

Speaker 3 (01:50:37):
So the other way on it.

Speaker 4 (01:50:38):
Yeah, exactly, We've been down this road before, so I
appreciate the independence of the FED. Now, how independent is
the FED chair in decision making? Because there are all
kinds of you know, governing board members, they all have
a say in it or is the chairman exclusively responsible
for making the decision?

Speaker 6 (01:50:56):
Well, the buck stops with the chairman.

Speaker 15 (01:50:58):
But of course there's a lot of in put from
the various Fed governors and who are regional as well
as the board itself. And as matter of fact, that
Trump is trying to stay ahead of that too as
well by saying not only should should should Shair Powell
step down, he should also remove himself from the board
so that we don't have a situation of.

Speaker 6 (01:51:16):
A shadow chair.

Speaker 15 (01:51:18):
So there's I'm sorry there was Scott p Ascent that
said that, but regardless, though, the whole point is they
want Jerome Powell's opinion out of the mix entirely. So, yes,
there is a lot of input, but at the end
of the day, the decision rests with the chair.

Speaker 3 (01:51:31):
Well, this is a direct impact on treasury bills, right, Oh.

Speaker 15 (01:51:35):
Of course, yeah, I mean treasury builded. The Fed will
set rates. We know how that works, right, They'll come
out and they say rates go up. We're going to
up a quarter percent, up, a half percent, down a
quarter percent, whatever. But the market has an impact too,
And because the market will of course, try to anticipate,
and I'm referring to the bond market here. The bond
market will try to anticipate what the moves are going
to be. And so for example, you know, one of

(01:51:56):
the popular things that people want to pay attention to
this for is because maybe you're in a situation where
you bought a house in the last three four years
and you're paying six, seven, maybe even eight percent on
a thirty year mortgage. Obviously that's something that's that's not
the norm. We're happier when we're in the three to
four percent range there. I'm not sure we're go all
the way down there again, but the lower the better.

(01:52:17):
But you want to look at the ten year Treasury
that's what most mortgage mortgage rates are are tracking. So
the Federal Reserve will make the moves too, but the
market will also anticipate which way bonds are going to go,
and that itself can have impact on what where interstrates
are going to go.

Speaker 4 (01:52:33):
But you got to look past the veneer of a
lower mortgage rate, don't you, Because you mentioned inflation being impacted.
When the rates come down, you worry about inflation, there
could be a spike and business activity gets generated, et cetera.
But people keep talking about, gosh, we want the interest
rates lower because I want a lower interest rate from
my home. Now, that's all well and good if you're
going to refinance and stay where you are, but that's

(01:52:55):
not going to increase the stock of housing. In fact,
we can consider inflation. The lower it is the charge
to borrow money, the rate at which you borrow. It
seems like the demand would go up, putting upward pressure
on the price of a home.

Speaker 6 (01:53:09):
Yes, absolutely, and we haven't had that much downward Prince right.

Speaker 15 (01:53:13):
We all stories, we hear kind of anecdotal stories about
how there's less activity, fewer housing starts, that kind of thing,
but the prices have not yet dropped. That's how strong
the demand has been. So yes, you're absolutely right. I
think it depends on what situation you're in. If you
already bought a house, then you really really want a
rate cut so you can refinance, because you heard all
the awesome stories when you were younger, of the prior

(01:53:34):
fifteen twenty, when refinancing was something you did every six months.
You know, on date night, you don't go out for
dinner after work. It was just a regular routine. But
on the other hand, if you are shopping for a house,
you may not want that. You arguably might even want
rates to tick up higher, so it'll finally break the
back of housing demand and things will pull back a
little bit. Now, all of those are very short term

(01:53:54):
in nature, and it really just depends on what your
own individual situation is. But these are all things, and
we will not have a perfect situation. Somebody is going
to end up on the short end of the stick clearly.

Speaker 4 (01:54:04):
Now, moving away from just the housing industry because you know,
obviously that's governed purely by supply and demand. If there's
not enough houses out there, the price is going to
go up. It's the greatest illustration you can have of that.
What about other areas of the how it would impact
from an inflationary standpoint, other areas of businesses? Generally speaking,
Why is it that a lower interest rate wo would

(01:54:26):
have an inflationary reaction Outside of the housing market.

Speaker 6 (01:54:29):
It generates a lot more hats being thrown in the ring.

Speaker 15 (01:54:32):
So in other words, if if rates are low, that
means I can get money for cheaper than I could before.
And the best type of money to invest with is
somebody else's. So that's where you hear about all these
things about companies borrowing to invest or or you know,
the fabulously wealthy set borrows against their holdings and simply
wants to pay down the debt rather than liquidate those

(01:54:55):
actual holdings to pay for their bills. This isn't something
the average person gets to do, but that is we've
set up a system in this country where that is
a very profitable thing to be able to take advantage of.
So that generates a lot more activity, and it generates
just people going out and doing things and buying more
products and so on and so forth because they're cheap,
especially now, because we will when that happens, Brian, we
will convince ourselves of scarcity. These rates that aren't going

(01:55:18):
to stay low forever. I better do things right now.
We saw this with products and imports in the first
quarter of the year, where we saw a big spike
in imports, but in anticipation of the coming Yeah, so
anticipation will itself drive prices up.

Speaker 4 (01:55:34):
Well, you know you've got an opportunity to borrow for less.
Of course you're gonna jump on that. That makes perfect sense. Now,
let me just get a common or two from you
on this comical notion that you need a what is it,
two and a half billion dollar reserve office upgrade?

Speaker 2 (01:55:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:55:49):
What the hell.

Speaker 8 (01:55:52):
This one?

Speaker 15 (01:55:53):
It really feels like this is one that you know,
the the government is operating out abilities that are hundred
to two hundred years old, So I'm sure they need
upgrades and things here and there, But yeah, two and
a half billion dollars later on the price the end, However,
Chair Powell hasn't ever been someone who is a ostentatious,
look at me type of a person, So I can't

(01:56:14):
I can't simply lay the blame at his feet to
say that this was a mistake from the beginning. It
does really seem to be what's what is anything? Go
find anything that we can point at him and point
out the weakness of him. And I'm speaking of you know,
those who are on the warpath to get rid of him. Sure,
if that's what they came up with, I'm feeling a
little more confident about Chair Powell.

Speaker 3 (01:56:32):
No, and I'll agree with you all day long on
that conclusion.

Speaker 4 (01:56:35):
And I don't I personally, I know Trump's been pointing
the finger of Powell over this renovation cost. But to me,
it exists beyond who's responsible for making the decision two
and a half billion dollars. It's you can build a
brand new Bengals Stadium for that kind of money.

Speaker 15 (01:56:54):
Yeah, absolutely, And there seems to be obviously, we need
a lot more context behind this to understand exactly where
that fails. I cannot imagine Taraf Powell spends a lot
of time looking at marble samples with the job that
he Yes, I'm pretty sure there are people to do this,
And I have a feeling that kind of came out
of left field when he realized he was going to
have to have a bigger opinion on it and be

(01:57:16):
more vocal than than he had.

Speaker 4 (01:57:17):
Well, you know, you'd expect some measure of fiscal responsibility
from the head of the Fed. That's all I'm saying.
You know, that's fair, that's a fair assessment. All right,
I just yell out loud. I'm putting my foot down.
There's no way of office renovations should ever cost this much.
You're going to get lesser expensive chairs.

Speaker 3 (01:57:32):
Live with it. It's say fifteen right now. More with
Brian James.

Speaker 4 (01:58:48):
Hey nineteen fifty five air CD talk station Happy Monday,
Monday Monday with Brian James, ma all financial, Let's talk
about earnings. Says earnings beats might mask tear of aliatility
these two weeks. And I'm looking at the Wall Street
Journal top of the scroll. There Dow, Jones, S and
P and Nasdaq all ticking up at about a quarter

(01:59:08):
percent up. So futures are up. This morning headline front
page Wall Street Journal of the US economy is regaining
its swagger, evidence mounting the companies and consumers who held
back during the spring's tariff chill are starting to splurge again.
And yet we have Donald Trump saying he's going to
implement some new tariffs beginning August first, most notably in

(01:59:29):
the European Union, a minimum of fifteen to twenty percent tariffs.
So I'm having a difficult time reconciling what all this
actually means.

Speaker 3 (01:59:36):
Brian James.

Speaker 4 (01:59:36):
It seems like we got good information over here, but
oh my god, those evil tariffs are coming, And is
that going to change people's buying habits? Are people going
to stop buying. I don't doesn't seem to be bothered
anybody right now anyway, Brian.

Speaker 6 (01:59:48):
Yeah, it's not really spooking the herd.

Speaker 15 (01:59:49):
And we've been through this before, of course, in early
April that was the first round of all the tariff chaos,
and the market took an absolute beating, dropping in some
cases close to twenty percent depending on the index you're
looking at. And so we're going through this again. However,
the headlines are no different. It's the same headlines. We're
picking on a country and here's a percent number that
we're gonna throw at them, and we're gonna give them
a deadline.

Speaker 6 (02:00:09):
That same thing we did in April. But the market
is now used to this.

Speaker 15 (02:00:12):
So where we're looking at now, August first, a fifty
percent tariff on copper imports. This is purportedly for national
security reasons. This is mostly gonna hit Chile with a
significant impact of construction, electronics, auto energy.

Speaker 6 (02:00:26):
You know, it used to be that copper was used
in plumbing and construction. That was kind of it.

Speaker 15 (02:00:30):
But now just about everything we touch nowadays, since everything
has to have data moving across it, copper is just everywhere.
So copper is almost a better indicator of overall economic
activity than crude oil, you know, kind of crude oil
used to be the more the more oil we buy,
the more activity we must have. Well, now it's copper,
and so there's gonna be a fifty percent tariff coming
on August first, depending on how those other countries react,

(02:00:51):
and thirty percent on EU and Mexico. And that's that
one's I think, probably the most well known that we've
got hanging out there, although with Mexico some of the
USMCA compliant goods might sneak out of that. And then
on again twenty five to thirty five percent on Canada, Japan,
South Korea, and a few more so August first, that's
the we're playing chicken right now.

Speaker 6 (02:01:09):
We'll see who's going to swerve here in a week
or so.

Speaker 4 (02:01:12):
So the goal of the tariff, like for example, copper,
we buy the copper right, we need it here. We
don't have a giant copper mind where we're manufacturing our own.
So there is an idea to re shore American copper production.
It's just to teariff the country that we're buying it from, correct, Yeah.

Speaker 15 (02:01:29):
The only way that we can if if we could
find something in our own dirt that did the same
thing that copper did, but you know, maybe even better
than we would do that instead. We wouldn't be talking
about terif we would throw it out here. But some
things we simply cannot produce at home.

Speaker 4 (02:01:41):
Now, in so far as Chilean copper production, We're okay,
we can get it now. It's going to be fifty
percent more when the tariff goes in effect. What are
we asking from them that we would harm ourselves so
much because there is such a huge demand for copper.

Speaker 15 (02:01:53):
Brian James, Well, we are simply asking we're asking them
to pay up. You want to do business here, and
we're in We're are kind of you know, uh taking
a flyer on this, thinking that we are such a
big market.

Speaker 6 (02:02:05):
We're just throwing our weight around.

Speaker 15 (02:02:06):
We are the United States is the largest market by far,
not even close to many many other markets that might
be buying these products.

Speaker 6 (02:02:12):
And we're we're simply looking for a better deal.

Speaker 15 (02:02:14):
It's really no different than we used to We used
to hear the stories about, uh, you kind of still
do about Walmart driving small mom and pop shops out
of business, uh, because they were looking for every to
save every possible penny they possibly could. They're the biggest,
you know, the biggest knife in the drawer, so they're
going to use their weight. That's the same thing the
United States is doing here across all these countries.

Speaker 3 (02:02:34):
All right.

Speaker 4 (02:02:35):
Well, another thing I saw in this report that you
provided to me some it looks like pretty good news
to me. Upbeat start to the earning season helped to
quell off these tariff fears. Around eighty three percent of
the S and P five hundred companies that are reported
earnings have exceeded expectations. That's pretty damn good, right there, Brian, he.

Speaker 6 (02:02:55):
Is, we're on a good run.

Speaker 15 (02:02:56):
And uh and this is uh, you know again, this
is what we're what we always talk about here is
what did the analyst think was going to happen versus
what did happen? And we talked about this last week
United with a handful of different companies, but this week
it's Alphabet, which owns Google and YouTube, stronger than first
quarter growth. On Thursday, Intel was up. So it was
a lot of technology stocks this week. And again those
are the ones that benefit a lot from Copper with

(02:03:18):
all the data houses and things that they have to
build out there. So we're just continuing this role of
companies being in a good spot and earning more than
that cost them to sell their products, which is the
core of everything we want to do, and so that's
a sign of a stable economy.

Speaker 6 (02:03:33):
Inflation is currently.

Speaker 15 (02:03:34):
Not an issue. I agree with President Trump there. It
is currently, as we're sitting here, not an issue. Some
of the decisions he would prefer that we make may
with regards to tariffs, as well as interest rate decisions
that he would very much like to see Fedchair Powell
put in place that could trigger inflation. Those are concerns
and the market is a little bit hesitant on that.
That's why we haven't seen it going through the roof.
It's up a little bit every day, which is good,

(02:03:56):
but at the same time, we haven't seen any huge
spikes that you might normally expect when we have such
positive earnings reports coming.

Speaker 3 (02:04:02):
Out, all right.

Speaker 4 (02:04:02):
Unlike copper, which is obviously a mandated necessary you know,
you can't live without a type of item given all
of the applications you put copper in. What is it
that we buy from the European Union that is a
must have item? Like copper? I mean, I understand lumber
coming from Canada that impacts housing. You gotta have lumber,
Gotta have copper for the pipes, gotta have copper for
the electrician, electritricity transmission lines, et cetera. You can't do

(02:04:25):
without it. Honestly, as much as I love Scotch, I
can do without it. If the price goes up too high,
I just won't buy it. So it's discretionary versus mandatories.
Where really the rubber hits the road, And what are
we getting from Europe that we consider mandatory or desperately needed.

Speaker 15 (02:04:42):
Yeah, well, well, obviously, you know, Scotch's deliveries to the
West side of Cincinnati are a major major indicator that
we watch to see, you know, exactly what's.

Speaker 6 (02:04:49):
Going on between our relationships there.

Speaker 15 (02:04:51):
But now a lot of pharmaceuticals, medicinal products that's about
one hundred and twenty seven billion dollars last year, a
lot of nuclear equipment, boilers in things like that. And
then of course there are vehicles Mercedes BMW that there's
still plenty of those on the road over here. So
it's much more industrial types of things that's happened to
be based elsewhere. But again, pharmaceuticals are being the bigger one.

(02:05:13):
Think of companies like Sanofi and Bayar, and we know
we do not manufacture a lot of our own drugshare.
That's one of the things the current administration would like
us to.

Speaker 4 (02:05:21):
Yeah, well, maybe we'll have some activity in that direction.
Let's Pauseibleh and Brian James back about picking the right
financial planner. He's biased in that regard being a financial planner.

Speaker 4 (02:06:38):
If if you got KRC Decalks Station one more segment
with Brian James from Ailworth Financial. A financial planner he is,
so let's talk about financial planning. It's really important to
have someone in your corner working on your side of
the table and not for somebody else when it comes
to financial planning. Isn't that a premier thing to think
about when you're looking for a financial planner?

Speaker 15 (02:06:57):
Brian James, Well, yeah, and you're right, I am a
little bit biased here. There's a reason I chose to
get into this industry. And if the topic is what
we look for in a financial advisor, you want to
make sure that you're you're gonna learn something right. You
don't need the old approach, you know from twenty thirty
forty years ago, was somebody who can sell me some
kind of product. And I remember my dad and his
uncles and my uncles, uh trading these these these people

(02:07:21):
they knew, and it was always whoever got them the
most recent you know, good good hot stock tip. This
is in the eighties when there was really nothing more
than I want to throw money into something and watch
it grow. There wasn't a lot of thought of how
do I, how do I plan for taxes? How do
I you know, put all the puzzle pieces together. So
you want to make sure you're talking to somebody who
is who is going to teach you something, who's gonna
look at your situation and show it to you from

(02:07:42):
a different point of view, so that you can think
about things that you hadn't thought about before.

Speaker 4 (02:07:45):
That's really the key, okay, And I think one of
the things that's always recommended by financial planners is get
a handle on what you spend money on throughout the year.
That's actually become a lot easier because you know, I'll
get for example, from my MasterCard at the end of
the year breakdown month to month and categories about everything
that I use my credit card for. It's very eye opening,

(02:08:07):
but it makes it really easy to figure out how
much you charge in a year, and that you can
apply to your once and your what your needs might
be in retirement.

Speaker 15 (02:08:15):
Yeah, that could become one of your goals, and that
should be one of your goals. Obviously, we all have
our own ships. We need to keep a float. That's
where everything starts. And once you've got a handle on
what your current cash flow is and you kind of
nailed it if you're using credit cards, I think that's
a great idea. By the way, if you're somebody who's
responsible with credit cards, then get your rewards, pick something
that works for you, and then use the tools that

(02:08:35):
the credit card companies provide. But not everybody looks at
They're buried in that website somewhere. Every time you swipe
that card, whatever that is is going to get categorized
as a restaurant, as a gas station, as whatever, So
you'll know exactly what it costs you just to keep
that ship afloat. Then, in addition to that, there are
other things you're doing. You've got a mortgage, you've got
some other things. There are places like Duke that don't
allow you to use your credit card. You're going to

(02:08:56):
look at your checking account for that. But that'll give
you your basic, your baseline of here's how much an
income we need to just keep the ship afloat.

Speaker 6 (02:09:04):
On top of that, you can.

Speaker 15 (02:09:05):
Layer the things that you'll want to do in retirement
because you have more time. Perhaps that's more travel, or
maybe it's supporting the kids, grandkids, so on and so forth.

Speaker 4 (02:09:12):
All right, and obviously things change over time. You hopefully
maybe once you reach retirement, don't have a mortgage that
you have to pay for.

Speaker 6 (02:09:20):
Well, give me a decision.

Speaker 15 (02:09:21):
Right, if you're somebody who's you've got one of those
two and a half three percent mortgages, then you may
want to maintain them. Matter of fact, I would advise
maintaining that, just make the cash flow work for you
and some people a lot of people hesitate on that
because we kind of get in our heads that well,
someone else has to give me money so that I
can survive. Therefore, my entire budget has to be squished
into my Social Security check. Meanwhile, I'm going to ignore

(02:09:42):
the two million dollar nest egg that I've set aside.

Speaker 6 (02:09:44):
Rather than paying off the.

Speaker 15 (02:09:45):
Mortgage in a lump, which would probably cost you a
good amount of taxes by liquidating the resources you would
need to do that, then simply start taking at least
that mortgage payment out. Just take it out on a
monthly basis, five days before the mortgage payment is due.
All you've done is build a money machine. And then again,
this is if you've got one of those two and
a half three percent mortgages, then maybe needs another five
to ten years to get paid off. Now a different

(02:10:06):
situation if you just moved somewhere in the last three
four years, now you've got a twenty five years left
on a six percent mortgage, that's a different discussion. But again,
this is where a financial advisor can help you see
the impact of paying it all off in a lump,
or perhaps meeting the middle ground and paying a little
more so that it's only got seven years versus fifteen
or something like that.

Speaker 4 (02:10:25):
Fair enough, And I know one of the points in
the article about choosing a financial planner, and this person's
initial is walking through the process of arranging with the
financial planner. Paragraph caption. Advisors aren't just for rich people.
You will meet with people just starting out in their careers,
but they don't have a giant stack of two hundred

(02:10:45):
thousand dollars that they're ready to invest.

Speaker 15 (02:10:47):
Correct, Brian, Absolutely, we'll talk to anybody because the education
part of that's frankly what I enjoy the most. That
doesn't mean we necessarily have to have a formalized relationships necessarily,
but a lot of times all people really need is
to some basic understanding. And I'll have many meetings with
my client's kids who are just getting started, and they hit,
you know, they hit on the big topics of I'm

(02:11:09):
putting money in my four one k am I putting
in enough? How do I decide whether to put you know,
money on the traditional side versus the roth side. And
should I pay off this mortgage? There is a notion
that I shouldn't have any debt. All debt is evil.
Should I pay off this mortgage? Should I spend you know,
twenty years not saving anything because I want to get
this house paid off?

Speaker 6 (02:11:25):
The answer to that is a hard no.

Speaker 15 (02:11:26):
We got to do a little bit of everything, but yes,
some of these things are basic just understanding what is
the impact of long term savings and what should I
expect out of the market in terms of ups and downs.
If I can arm somebody with that and they go
off for thirty years, they'll come back with a much
bigger puzzle for me to solve.

Speaker 4 (02:11:41):
Yeah, and I know we've had this conversation before. Going
back to the mortgage. Yeah, I did have a like
like three percent mortgage, but ended up paying extra each
month to get it paid off. I hate debt, and
a mortgage to me is just one more debt I
owe somebody money. I don't like being in that position.
I know I could have made more in the market
had I left the market. I could like to you
guys to invest or something more than the three percent

(02:12:03):
that I'm being charge in interest. But just from a
comfort standpoint, I'm that weird guy that I just I
can't abide owing someone money man now, And.

Speaker 15 (02:12:11):
There's a I wouldn't call that weird. That's just it's
just a point of view, and there's nothing wrong with it.
I also happen to know that you have a financial
advisor behind you, and I know you went through the
process of Okay, if we pay it off sooner the
mortgage goes away.

Speaker 6 (02:12:22):
Sooner in our in our.

Speaker 15 (02:12:23):
Overall assets look like this versus if we if we
simply let it all go and pay off the mortgage
as minimally as possible, looks like that, And then you
made an educated decision that you were more comfortable with
not having the mortgage in place. And that is perfectly
that is a perfectly rational way to do it. It's
not always about what what's the biggest number that falls
out of the bottom of the spreadsheet.

Speaker 4 (02:12:42):
Well, and the smartest thing you can do from a
financial standing standing plan point, standing our financial planning standpoint,
Brian out kick your coverage with your choice of spouse.

Speaker 6 (02:12:52):
That is that I've done that as well myself, and yeah,
that is a huge impact. If you're on the same.

hearing that well.

Speaker 4 (02:14:41):
And you stand by your products with one hundred percent
satisfaction guarantee. So let's talk about summertime. It's obviously been
very rainy out there. I have actually it's usually two dogs.
We have our dog and our grandpuppy, Dohlia. She spends
most of the every day at our house. So I
got animals coming in and out in with the rain.
On the things that you point out, not only do

(02:15:03):
they have muddy feet, but they can kind of give
off a sort of a funky odor when they come
in back from outside in the rain.

Speaker 3 (02:15:09):
And the heat.

Speaker 2 (02:15:11):
Yeah, that's their protection so that they're not so hot
or in the winter not so cold. But yeah, it's
to us it smells, and to us we want to
give them a bath, and too many baths dry out
their skins, so we have a better solution. It's called Magic.
It's actually a product of odorative product of water and

(02:15:35):
essential oils. Ideally, spray your hands with it and you
pet your dog with it. Yeah, they're not spraying them specifically.
You could, but sometimes I don't like that spray sounds.
What it does is absorb those smells coming off your dog,
and it's going to last for oh, depending on how
much you put on a week, maybe two weeks.

Speaker 1 (02:15:56):
Yeah, and you don't have.

Speaker 2 (02:15:57):
To bathe them. They're not going to get that mel
on their furniture when they jump up to love on
you and your lap. It's really an amazing product on
how it works that way, but it gets rid of
lots of other odors too, like the food.

Speaker 4 (02:16:12):
Odors that the magic is. The Magic is the one
I keep in my glove box in my car, right,
that's for the fast food carry out stuff.

Speaker 3 (02:16:18):
I don't want my car smell like Indian food or
something exactly exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:16:24):
Yeah, people who smoke, they sprints themselves when they get
out so that people think they don't smoke.

Speaker 3 (02:16:33):
It's oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:16:34):
I have a friend who her husband calls it, get
that Houdini spray because we're going to we're going out
in the car tonight. So they sprit themselves and it
smells like they don't smoke.

Speaker 3 (02:16:46):
Oh that's funny.

Speaker 14 (02:16:48):
And that.

Speaker 4 (02:16:50):
Magic ix ues for food odors and for your dog
and you on the dog when the dog enrolled. And
I've used this to support your your your products in
the past. The concentrate that you sew, that you mix
with water, the concentrate and it's all natural, right, I mean,
we're talking about all natural ingredients in this. That dog,

(02:17:10):
I don't know what in the hell liam rolled around it,
but it reaked. It must have been something dead or
some kind of unknown beast feces out there. But we
washed him, you know, we gave him a back, and
you still smelled it. So I put that concentrate on
a rag and I rubbed it all over his head
and it disappeared instantly.

Speaker 2 (02:17:32):
And that's what it does. It goes after the source.
So it's a different product than the magic Yeah, still
water in the central oils, but a different combination. And
it needs to be placed on, sprayed, applied just like
you did on a ragr wash cloth, directly to the
source of the odor, and it breaks it down and

(02:17:53):
stops it from ever smelling again. It just kind of
changes the composition and it won't it won't come back
unless he rolls in that again.

Speaker 4 (02:18:03):
Oh god, I hope not about that. It's a flashback
kind of moment here because it was just, oh, it's awful.
I've never well anyway, don't beat a dead horse, Thomas.

Speaker 3 (02:18:13):
But it worked.

Speaker 4 (02:18:13):
I guess that's a fundamental point, nasty. And I use
skunk spray as an example all the time because I've
had listeners email me on that one. And for skunk
you use which product if your dog comes home smell
like a got hit with a skunk?

Speaker 2 (02:18:26):
That same one that eliminator concentrate. The eliminator comes in,
are ready to use too where we already mixed it.
So it's got a sprayer on the bottle, but then
it comes and a concentrate where you can eat to refill. Well,
you can refill any sized spray bottle actually true. So
it's four ounces to a gallon of water, so that
it's going to last quite a long time.

Speaker 3 (02:18:48):
It'll last a while well.

Speaker 4 (02:18:50):
And then the other thing people have a problems with
with all the rain, Like I you've got a moist
basement mold and you got a problem for the mold
or a product for the mold too. We have total four.

Speaker 2 (02:19:01):
Separate products and that's why our range of odors is
so wide that we can actually eliminate. We have two
products for the mold. One. They're both the same chemical
chlorine dioxide, which isn't natural, but it's very safe. The
way our products are packaged and the instructions, I guess

(02:19:21):
when you follow the instructions, just like everything else. But
the one puts a gas in the air and you
put it behind a fan. It's a safe gas. It's invisible.
It smells a little bit like chlorine.

Speaker 4 (02:19:35):
Yeah, like walking into anadatorium, a little bit, just that
background in the background, you'll have that little tiny chlorine smell.

Speaker 2 (02:19:44):
Yeah, and it actually is chlorine, but with an extra
oxygen molecule added, which is why it's so super at
getting rid of the odors. That extra oxygen and it
oxidizes those things. So it oxidizes the mold spores in
the air, It oxidizes cigarette smoke smell, attar and nicotine

(02:20:07):
that maybe somebody smoked in their house for five or
twenty five years. It's going to get rid of that
because again it's going after the source of the odor.

Speaker 3 (02:20:15):
Yeah, and actually and the second one go ahead.

Speaker 4 (02:20:19):
Oh, I was going to say, I had a little
battery operated fan and I can't remember under what circumstances,
but I put the small package of the AQM you're
talking about that releases the gas in a car because
the inside of the car smoke, and so just closed
all the windows up, had a little tiny battery operated
fan that last, I mean, nothing goes for twelve hours
or more, and so I just attached it to that

(02:20:41):
and let it sit for a whole day and eliminated
everything in that car. Whatever the odors were, it was gone.
So that's just one way you can use that. So
you got mold, you got mildew, you got coup of
human odors, pet oders, every kind of odor you can
come up with as a product on your website for
that and looks like there's a great time to buy
it because you've got a discount going on right now.

Gary Jeff Walker covering from me tomorrow. Thank you, Gary Jeff,
if you're out there listening right now. Christopher Smithing was
on the program early with a smith event on a
tear as usual, Money Monday's Brian James, and then of
course deb from Oter Eggs at fifty five kr SE
dot com. The podcast Page uh started out this morning

(02:23:55):
I believe it six o'clock hour, talking about the new
revelations the Russian collusion hoax that was manufactured by the
Obama administration after being told by their experts in the
Department of Justice and or FBI whoever that was looking
into this, that there was no involvement with the Russians

(02:24:16):
going into the twenty sixteen election, none period. Obama didn't
like that, so he ordered a new directive, one that
Well concluded that the Russians were somehow involved with Donald Trump,
and that of course led to four years of investigations
in Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, and now we come to
find out it was all a lie, a lie built
on by the Biden administration when he was reelected, so

(02:24:38):
one that they claim exists until this day, some referring
to it as an attempted coup, undermining Donald Trump's authority,
undermining the will of the American people. Some people are
thoroughly convinced that the twenty twenty election was rigged. When
you can make that argument, and I understand the reasons why.
But now we have former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn

(02:25:00):
calling on the Department of Justice to confiscate the passport
a former President Barack Obama, Yes, Barack Obama's passport Flynn
Keith figuring the Trump administration made this request after this
newly declassified presidential briefing document show how the Obama well
was involved directly with the Trump Russia collusion narrative built
entirely on lies created by Hillary Clinton, the DNC, the

(02:25:23):
Steele dossier, for example, documents released by the Director of
National Intelligence Telsea Gabbett on Friday Show, Obama knew the
Russian collusion narrative was a hoax and was involved in
manufacturing and politicizing the intelligence to create the narrative. Flynn
also targeted by the Obama administration during the Russia Collusion,
which Hunt was on with Steve Bannon, noted Conservative to

(02:25:46):
discuss these documents. Flynn also suggested that other officials from
the NSA, FBI, and CIA may have been involved in
this what he calls coup attempt and could face prosecution.
And that's exactly what many are calling for now, prosecution
for the wrongdoings they committed and the lies that they
created and manufactured and sold in the American public. Complicit was,

(02:26:11):
of course, your legacy mainstream media in parroting this narrative
over and over again, layer upon layer upon layer of coruction. Yeah,
you don't even get over to like, for example, the
lies that were told about Hunter Biden's laptop. Yeah, lies
outright lies. They sold that bill of goods. You look,

(02:26:34):
fifty one experts say this is a Russian disinformation.

Speaker 3 (02:26:37):
Now, that was a lie.

Speaker 4 (02:26:38):
They knew way ahead of that letter coming out that
that was genuine Hunter Biden laptop. So distrust a little
bit jaded, little bit cynical about government. Yeah, I know,
