Speaker 1 (00:06):
Five o five.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
If you give out k r C the talk station,
happy Monday. I'm the dude, man, I am Brian Thomas,

(00:31):
not the dude, and happy Monday to you.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Did you get it all out of your system? Over
the weekend there they had no King's protests. Still scratching
my head over what the hell that was about. I'm
going to talk about that a little bit gy. A
lot going on from local stories including police chief three
CATEGI hiring an employment lawyer looks like summer, suggesting maybe
even today's our last day? And why are they terminating
her for following the directives of Mayor athtab Purval and

(00:54):
city Manager Cheryl Lung. She did what they told them
to rethunk police or rethought police and will be sacrificed
for it. I drew a parallel between her and a
Boxer from animal Farm Orwell's animal Farm. You know Boxer,
the man or the horse behind the loyal horse, behind
the revolution, the loyal Marxists, And once he was all

(01:17):
used up, they put him in a cart and sent
him off to the glue factory. Thanks for your service.
Kind of parallels could be drawn there any I'll come
up with fifty five Cassee Morning show. It's going to
be a rather interesting morning and I feel so sad
for this woman. Ronda Win's going to join the program
at seven oh five. Ronda is the mother or was

(01:38):
rather Krishan de Sierra Winn, thirty four year old mother
of five, fatally shot and over the rhine. This was
back in the sixth day of August, just walking across
the street on Republic Street. Described and confirmed as an
innocent bystander, Kashana was shot in the back by a
gunman who squeezed off fifteen to twenty rounds from a

(02:00):
drive by passing vehicle. Ten minutes after nine in the evening.
She passed away UC Medical Center. Her mother has been
out there stirring the pod, demanding answers, publicly vocal about
her daughter's gra a death, of course grief, calling for
action from city leaders to address the violence in the area.

(02:21):
Get it together. She said previously. Ron is going to
be on the program to you know, get that message
out here at seven oh five. It's so sad. I mean,
add that to the list of horrific crimes that have
been in downtown Cincinnati, and I mean it's not just downtown,
it's elsewhere anyway Rondo seven O five, followed by Christopher Smithman.
He'll have few comments on that, I'm sure, Christopher Smithman

(02:43):
from her vice mayor vote smith Aman early voting going
on right now. You can change the direction of the city.
You happy with the way aft have par balls running things?
Are you happy with the way the current city managers
running things? Imagine a downtown Cincinnati under the management of
Todd Zinzer for example. If you're not familiar with Todd's work,

(03:04):
I check out my podcast page fifty five cares dot com.
We had an hour with him last week. God's guy.
He is brilliant. It is Monday after Christopher smith when
we get money money with Brian James. Shut down is
affecting you? Or is it it shutdown? With me? We'll
talk about how it impacts. Sois security bonds in four
oh one case, also another topic with Brian more for

(03:24):
oh one k's or tied to the stock market than
ever before? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
And finally, Americans get a D grade when it comes
to saving for retirement. Actually surprised that it's as high
as a D. Patty from Hart for Seniors joins a
program at eight forty wonderful organization for all of your
senior needs, for example, wound Care. They have these amazing products.

(03:46):
You can get them right from Hard for Seniors Heart
number four Seniors dot org, along with a whole host
of other services for folks that are in assisted living communities,
seniors that are being helped at home with family members
or some outside care. They're all stuck in the same boat,
a lot of overlapping problems, and they Heart for Seniors

(04:06):
folks are absolutely fantastic at helping you overcome the challenges
that are face we all face when our loved ones
are in assisted living or struggling with some sort of
mental decline or physical decline eight forty with Hard for Seniors.
So I hope you can stick around for all of that,
and I hope you can call. I'd love to hear
from you. Five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,

(04:28):
eight hundred eighty two three talk DONI fifty on AT
and T phones. I actually drove by the No King's
rally was in Loveland, and I thought it was kind
of funny to hear No King's Rally in Loveland. Anyway,
but if you look at the No Kings dot org website.
These rallies were everywhere and they're touting this morning and

(04:48):
a lot of swirling comments about the accuracy of this figure. Now,
you know, ask the Gosins how many of the Palestinians died?
And then ask the Israelis how many of the UH
and by the way, the ceasefire doesn't seem to be
in a f anymore, and how many Ask the Israelis
how many Palestinians died or how many Israeli forces died.
You're going to get a huge difference. Ask Ukraine and

(05:08):
then ask Russia how many people dying in the field
each and every day or in the war that's going
on each and every day. You get wildly wide differences
in opinion, cause, well, no one really knows how many
people show up to the No Kings rally. It's one
of the figures floating around, according to No Kings, right
seven million right there on the front page of This Morning.

(05:31):
On Occover eighteenth, more than seven million of us rose
up at more than twenty seven one hundred events in
all fifty states, DC and cities worldwide to say America
has no Kings and the power belongs to the people,
all right, So they'd like you to join in their
site today to have like some sort of online call
to discuss, in their words, what comes next. So I

(05:53):
guess they didn't get it fully out of their system.
The government's still shut down. You think the government will
now reopen since they were all we presume, waiting around
for at least this weekend's events and to move forward
and pass it doesn't seem to be any resolution, and
they're running out of time. You know, the subsidies in
at the end of the year, and this extension only
goes into November. Last time I checked, it's already what

(06:13):
October twenty twentieth today, TikTok, TikTok. But when I was
looking at the folks that were at the No Kingside
again driving through Loveland, there were some younger people there.
But as the pictures emerged from across this great land
of ours, one observation kept coming through from everyone, what's
with all the old people? And since I'm the first,

(06:38):
you see the last year of the baby boom general
sixty five, my year birth, and I think that's the
last year they even include in baby boomers. So there's
a bunch of people that are older than me, and
I mean large quantities of bunch of people older than me.
I guess I'm just wondering how that turned out to be.

(07:00):
They have free time, many of them in retirement, and
so I know it was on a Saturday, so it
shouldn't have an impact with people who were employed. And
there's a lot of discussions out there these multi billionaires
and all the money that flowed into organizing this no
King's rally and actually paying people to show up. It's

(07:22):
grassroots if people voluntarily go to it and attend it.
And I guess the broader thing I want to know
is what was all this anger about. Is this was
just really purely an anti Donald Trump rally. And I
know that's the quote unquote king that they're referring to,
but he's not a king, is he. I think it

(07:47):
was kind of funny. House Baker Mike Johnson a really
great way of pointing out the collection of folks that
I listened were part of it. He was talking about Antifa.
You have all of these Tides Foundation, all these other
multi billionaire funded organizations to throw money into this thing.
So you're out there screaming about oligarchs and billionaires, and
yet you're there because the very oligarchs and billionaires you're

(08:09):
screaming about, the ones that prompted you and organize this
so we would show up for it. Okay, make some
sense out of that for me, would you please? I
don't get it anyway, jarn say, if President Trump was
a king, the government would be open right now. If
President Trump was a king, they would not have been
able to engage in the free speech exercise on the Mall,
which was open because President Trump hasn't closed it. Remember,

(08:33):
we're in a shutdown, Johnson pointed out in the last
shut down twenty thirteen, President Obama closed the National Mall.
The National Parks didn't allow people to engage in all
of this. They needed a stunt, they needed a show.
It's a valid point. Now, you and I can disagree
or agree, as the case maybe, on whether or not
Donald Trump has the executive branch authority to do some

(08:55):
of the things he's doing. One of the things I'm
outspoken on in that regard is I don't believe he
is the has the right ability, legal or otherwise, without
congressional approval, to start blowing up boats in the Caribbean
right off coast of Venezuela. Happened again over the weekend.
He blew up a submarine. This time Senator Ran Paul
declared out loud in a statement, he was on a
news program not legal. So I disagree with on that

(09:20):
unilateral waging of war. But in so far as everything
else is concerned, we do have a constitution that's still
in place, and it's the checks and balances we need
in a republic, which is what we've got here. It
hasn't gone away. So, you know, evil orange man Trump
arrangement syndrome all on full display. But really, if you
ask him what they want, what are you looking for

(09:43):
other than Trump just resigning and walking away. I'm really
left completely puzzled by it, most notably amid not just
the age of the people there, but the way everyone
was well, honestly, not everyone. How they were dressed. It
looked like a carnival side show. It looked like a

(10:06):
comic con event. It's like some sort of furry convention.
Now that's okay, you do what you want, man, you know,
the little libertarian Brian Thomas, I don't care how you
dress up, but I just scratching my head over the
mixed bag of fruits and nuts. They're all standing around
screaming about no Kings and whatever. All right, so you
hung out together for a few hours on a Saturday

(10:27):
and you all went home. Some people online and I
know I get it observing the sort of mass exodus.
It's like people leaving a ballgame after the ninth inning's over.
They just sort of leave at the same time. A
lot of people just sort of departing the premises at
the same time, some speculating that that's when the clock
ran out on their well hourly rate, that they were

(10:49):
being paid to be there in the first instance. So
what is next? No Kings join us October twenty first
at eight pm to talk about what comes next. Maybe
one of my listeners are going to register to join
that call. Steve's on the phone, speaking of calls. I'm
looking forward to talking with you, Steve. You don't mind
holding for a moment. Other calls are all welcome. This
morning five on three, seven, four, nine, fifty eight and

(11:12):
eight two to three talk Pound five fifty on eight
and T phones. I'll be right back fifty five KRC.
Waking up this morning to realize the Internet has crashed
or something. First indications, Joe tried to set up a
video link between he uses a regular site that did
not work, so he's incapable of getting that. Amazon Web

(11:33):
Services apparently has an outage causing widespread internet disruptions this morning.
I had a listener just let me know that the
streaming audio is not working from the iHeart media app
although for some reason the commercials are coming in. Joe's
going to see if you can confirm that it's the
case or not. Regardless, it's out of our hands. And
apparently apparently nothing's going on over at my sister's station

(11:53):
next door at seven hundred. Anyway, it's what Steve's gott Steve,
thanks so much for holding over the break. Welcome to
the Morning Show.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Good morning. I kind of took my thunder with all
the correct information to get you gave about the constitutional
Republic seventeen seventy six and not having a king. This
is a failed attempt by the public education system once
again not telling people what the past history was, and
they're ignorant because they haven't been educated. Is that the way?
And then they get educated and they're not ignorant anymore.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah, I suppose yeah, yes, Orwellian ring about it. The
ministry of truth is, you know, do it.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
We need to do some about these judges. My idea is,
I mean they poppy won't because they're all in cahoots.
Is your third strike as a judge, the third person
that you let go without well, you know, being convicted
and punished, the judge has the third time the person
commits a crime, the judge has to fulfill the maximum

(12:52):
sentence on the people they let go. I think, I mean,
that's the only thing we can do besides them. Obviously
they wanted popularity contest. They are not good people of judgment.
Therefore they cannot do their job. So this should be
put in jail and have to finish the sentence of
the people they let go.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
I personally am going to disagree with you on that.
I think it's up to the people to wake up
and vote in better judges. If you're unhappy with the
way the judges are operating and you know, maybe not
being harsh enough on crime, you want tough on crime judges.
Elect one his idea that you're going to hold a
judge personally accountable for the activities and criminal behavior of
someone over whom they have no longer any control. I

(13:30):
think that seems kind of a bit from my perspective,
not plausible or reasonable.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
But you said elect people election, but people elect idiots.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
So that's how right exactly, Steve. And you continue to
elect idiots, your society will fall apart, and then you'll
have no one to believe it yourself. That's the beauty
of being in a republic. And we vote the people
in or not. We're not told who gets elected. We
get the freedom at choose. Sadly, only twenty five percent
of the city's population is going to even bother showing
up on November to vote. Sadly, are the number of

(14:00):
people that control the destiny of our future in this
country is limited only a small percentage compared to the
general population that's old enough to vote and registered to vote,
even show up to bother to do it. We have
no one to blame but ourselves.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Well, I mean, it's you've got to remember the prosecutors
aren't even bringing charge against people. And if they do,
then the judges.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Who elected Connie Pillow, I mean, who voted for contacts,
That's right, I know. Well, that's the thing they pay people.
They do what's illegal.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
They pay them to show up to vote, They propagande them.
These are ignorant people that never made it through college
or school. And I mean, you know the school.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah, we don't have we don't have an education test
to vote. I'm not I'm not disagree with the fundamental points,
but I mean you can't. You can't start holding the
elected official personally accountable for something over which over whom
they have no control. I mean, you know they do.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
They have total control of the judges.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
I mean, they have total In your scenario, Steve, they've
passed sentence, even if it's a light one, they have
passed sentence. You're yuilty, here's your here's your penalty. Six
months of pro bation or whatever. Cases closed.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
That's not that's not a punishment.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
That's I mean a minute regular. You're g mean conclusions.
You don't even know the hypothetical case that I just mentioned.
You don't even know what the what the defendant did.
Maybe they stole a candy bar. They're on probation for
six months. That seems reasonable, you know, I mean, look.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
What California did. Three strikes and you're out with California
and everybody agreed to that.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
I believe, wasn't that found on constitutional that concept.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
Finally finally, yeah, okay, but in the meantime a lot
of people suffered. So if it's constitutional, I mean, would
that be something the state of state votes for.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Or federal depends on whether it's state or federal law. Play.
We have control over criminal laws in the state, but
we don't have control over the federal laws. That's the
federal government. That's you're Congress and you're right, completely different set.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
So how about if they do considered a lawyer, do
they have a law degree?

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, they're also judges. You have to be a lawyer
to be a judge, if I recall correctly.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
So that can they get the law I agree to
be vote for having mission.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Only if you can show a breach of the judicial
canons or the canons of ethics. And then they would
be gone before the Supreme Court where they would have
a hearing and there would be representation the lawyer where
or the judge of the lawyer would get a counsel.
They would make their argument, and then the Supreme Court
would decide what disciplinary a measure to levey down upon
them or disciplinary punishment to levy upon them based upon

(16:22):
the circumstances. But what you're talking about here, I don't
in spite of the fact that I am disappointed as
I can be with some of the judges, and they're
being so light on criminal behavior, especially recidiv as criminals.
You know, I wish it were not so, But that
does not translate into a violation of the judicial canons
of ethics. They are vested. These judges are with a
tremendous amount of discretion. They have a ton of discretion.

(16:47):
You want to hang them, high judge, Vote for a
hang ofm I judge, you want someone who's soft on
crime because you believe, well, you know, we can't hold
these people accountable. You don't have any understanding of how
bad they had it over their lives, and to punish
them because they grew up an impoverish circumsis dances and
turned into a life of crime, you just ignores the
reality this social element on this. They have no control
over their own lives. Vote for a judge that's really

(17:08):
led on crime because we don't want to hold an
individual accountable for the behavior. This is the argument that's made.
Apparently that's a winning political argument in dark blue cities
like the city of Cincinnati. Now, look what happens you
vote down that path. Look what happened at Portland. Look
what happened in San Francisco. Look what happened in California. Generally,
you pursue that path to your detriment, and after a

(17:28):
while people start seeing, geez, little wheeze. These people have
been in front of a judge like nineteen times. They've
allwn all kinds of things. How come they're back out
on the streets. How come all these businesses have closed?
How come the city's economy has trashed? Why has everyone
packed up and left? Hmm? Maybe it's our fault for
voting in idiots who pursue these policies and lo and behold,
what do you see? They're turning around. They're getting rid

(17:51):
of the policies that led to all this chaos and
this decline in living conditions and brought and rike tavoc
on their city's Wow, I guess that social experiment didn't work.
Let's choose a different path. Never too late, learn from
your mistakes five twenty six. Right now, if you have
KCD talk station, Jeff, your next Patrick as well? Stick around?

(18:14):
Got more calls coming up. Welcome to the morning show,
larn Brian.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
We were up at the No Kings protest in Mason.
Kind of interesting.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
And what were your observations? And I guess first off,
what was your motivation for going? Just curiosity? Were you
protesting No Kings or just sort of.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
Counter protesting Trump Trumps?

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Okay, so you're just there checking it out and seeing
what it was all about, yes.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
Sir, And we noticed quite a few gender confused protesters
with their rainbow flex.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Sure, I would expect that probably some pro Palestinian or
pro Hamas folks in the mix as well, if you
can find those in Mason. Of course, Democrats, sociality say what.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
I wouldn't surprise.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Us, right, it's a loose knit collective of angry people.
So it's basically, you know, it's a questionnaire, are you
really angry? Are you pissed off at the current administration?
If your answer is yes, it doesn't matter for what reason.
Just show up at the No King's rally and scream
and yell and make sure you dress like a furry
or something.

Speaker 4 (19:25):
Show show up at the polls and you get one vote.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, you get to vote, which means we have no Kings, right,
Jeff on one vote, one vote, emphasize that we can
only dream of the day where you only get one
vote and there's no gross no running amuck collecting ballots
and stuffing ballot boxes with other people's ballots. Who's next?

(19:49):
It is, Patrick Patrick, Welcome in the Morning Show, Tom,
hang on, you're after Patrick.

Speaker 5 (19:53):
Hey, good morning, Brian. I just had some Monday humor
about this whole no Kings thing. First of all, yeah,
the no King's ro test brought to you by individuals
that can't identify what a woman is, but by God,
they have clairvoyance to know what a king is. And secondly,
I think that the Trojan would be a great sponsor
for this because they're advertising slogan could be see what

(20:15):
you wind up with when you don't wear protection. So
have a good day, Brian, I.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Like that, proud sponsor of the No Kings rally. Tom,
Welcome Morning show, Happy Monday to you.

Speaker 6 (20:29):
Good morning, Thank you Patrick for a little levity that half.
I'm always much appreciated on a on a nice chilli
Monday morning. Gonna be a great week, sound like I hope?
So uh yeah, we were talking about this over the
weekend about the whole note Kings thing and what it's
all about. And I'll keep you short this morning. I actually.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Tom, and Tom apparently you dropped out, so you said
you'll keep it short this morning, and then I heard nothing.
So you're gonna have to restate the point you were making.

Speaker 6 (21:03):
Oh well, I just I was saying that I U.
I drove by one of those rallies on Saturday on
my way home from work, and uh and uh on
Hamilton Avenue, right between north Side and College Hill. And uh, yeah, loose,
like you said, a loose collection, and and uh I
rolled the window down and and uh, of course I

(21:25):
hollered at him. Don't vote Democrat. Have a great day, Brian.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Good for you, Tom as I was driving through the
one in front of the the middle school in Loveland,
cross the street from the Strip Mall, you know where
it is. Anyhow, I was driving buy them away from
doing an air and and all the signs, and you,
if you are a responsible driver, don't don't try to

(21:49):
read the signs. I mean, some of them are very
easy to read, but some of them, you know, with
single line magic marker, and they got nine thousand words
on a sign you're supposed to, you know, absorb the
information on an you go buy at twenty five miles
an hour. It is ain't gonna happen. But they're all
asking you to honk if you want No Kings, or
honk if you hate Trump or whatever. And as I

(22:11):
was cruising down the very beginning of the role of
No King's protesters, there's this sign honk if you support
Trump or something along those lines. See. I can't even
remember specifically what the sign said, but it was clearly
not the message that the No Kings folks who are
looking for a honk for. So I just beat my horn.
No one knows for whom my horn was beeped, but

(22:33):
there you go. Oh my god, victory, we got a
horn beep. Can we go home now? Five one, three, seven, four,
nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three taco
a town five fifty on eight T and T phones. Oh,
this is so sad. On the heels of the sad
situation involving Sarah Herringer getting her husband stabbed to death
in their apartment, you know about the event at Sarah

(22:56):
on the program, She's looking for some sort of criminal
justice reform the guy who killed her husband cut off
his ankle monitor and was running a buck out in
public for months before he killed her husband. Local stories here.
Gun in charge with killing a man in what police
call a drive by shooting in downtown wearing an ankle
monitor on an illegal gun charge. Corn to court records,

(23:17):
Robert Shaw fifty a Westwood charge with murder after police
say he shot a thirty four year old Justin Johnson,
three hundred block of Sycamore Street, October seventeenth, two o'clock
in the morning, wearing an ankle monitor at the time
of his arrest for outstanding charges of carrying a concealed
weapon and illegally possessing a gun. Allen County Common Please
Judge dnkle Locker released Seawan June for those charges twenty

(23:40):
thousand dollars bond with electronic monitoring lockdown, meaning he was
restricted to where he could go and when he could go.
According to Dinkell, a dink Locker approved adjusting Shaw's monitoring
to allow for him to seek employment while the case
was ongoing. Apparently, this guy's got a criminal history going
back to nineteen ninety eight two thousand and three, convicted

(24:01):
a caring concealed weapon, illegally possessing a gun, receiving stolen property.
Sentenced another six months in prison. Back in twenty eleven
and twenty fifteen, convicted of illegally possessing a gun and
sentence the prison time. Police use Shaw's ankle monitor data
to identify him as a suspect in Johnson's shooting death.
According to court records, Shaw arraigned before Hamilton County Municipal

(24:21):
guds Jackie Ginocchio on the eighteenth last week. Remains in
custody the Hamilton County Justice Center now on a two
million dollar bond. How How are those ankle monitors working
out for you? I don't blame d ink Locker on this.
I guess blame the people that are responsible for monitoring
the ankle monitors. Eight thirty five fifty five KRC Detalk Station.

this is gonna work and really find it rather weird.
Charman Yes, the toilet tissue manufacturer introducing what it calls
the Forever roll, not something you get at a sushi restaurant.

(25:55):
The Forever role described as a seventeen hundred sheet roll
of paper which is meant to last up to a month. WHOA,
that's a lot of feces. That is a month in
a two person household. Roll reportedly thirty two times larger
than a standard role, making it impossible to put on

(26:15):
your standard toilet paper rollholder. What it is available online,
ins and in stores including Walmart, Target and Amazon. I
I just said he would check Amazon, but he can't
because Amazon crashed this morning. I hope you're able to
stream the media. Joe Strecker checked the iheartmediapp on his
cell phone and it's working. So one of the listeners

(26:37):
said it was not working. I don't know basically what
the state of the internet is this morning. But what
the hell is this I'm reading from the CNN reporting
on this Sharman toilet paper massive role the company. This
is a quote. The company is even offering a thirty
day money back guarantee. That's a challenge, Joe. What's being

(27:04):
guaranteed here? The length of time the role will work?
What toilet paper tissue do you have to return? If
you're going to seek the money back guaranteed, you have
to return the used or just the balance of what's
left on the role and what will be your predicate.
I'm just not gonna be able to find out the
answers to those questions, and quite candidly, it's in the
stackers too, but I really don't care.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Let us see an article that might be talked about
by Tech Friday's Dave hatter Man in Florida claimed to
be Elon Musk, still nearly six hundred thousand dollars from
a woman. Authority say Jeffrey moynihan pleaded no contest to
charge it against him, getting one year behind bars and
thirty years of probation. Investigators say moynihan impersonated Elon Musk

(27:46):
and befriend of the seventy four year old woman from Texas.
This's happened on Facebook, exchanging messages for months. Prosecutors say
he scammed her out of the six hundred grand, promising
to pay her fifty six million dollars in return. M hm.
The police have get dedicated in Elder Fraud Unit in
response to these types of crimes. Gotta be careful out there,

(28:09):
my senior friends, eeries. The biggest douche of the universe,
in all the galaxies, there's no bigger douche than you.
You've reached the top, the pinnacle of dude. Them good
going due, Your dreams have come true? All right?

Speaker 4 (28:34):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Do you believe in fortune tellers?

Speaker 7 (28:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (28:38):
I know you shouldn't itches to me. No, they're fraudsters.
Two people arrested in Montgomery County and this is in
Pennsylvania for running a fortune telling scheme defrauding victims out
of again six hundred thousand dollars fifty zero. Rold Gina
Marks of Huntingdon Valley and Steve Nicholas forty facing multiple

(28:58):
fellty charges. Investigators say they operated a business called Jenkintown
Psychic Visions where they convinced victims that they were cursed.
Court of Montgomery County District Attorney's Office. First victim contacted
the business for a psychic phone reading, told she was
plagued by a powerful curse that would destroy her marriage, business,

(29:20):
and family unless, of course, it was removed. Apparently, over
the course of eleven months between September of twenty two
and August twenty three, Marx and Nicholas allegedly demanded large
sums of money and luxury items to cleanse the curse
that included jewelry, cash, clothing, concert tickets, and gift cards.
All right, you're being duped, and you think you have

(29:41):
a curse because these idiots told you do. Why would
you think that giving them jewels and cash and clothing
and of all things, concert tickets, maybe even an Apple
card would cure your curse.

Speaker 8 (29:57):
God.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
I feel so sorry for people who are this dim
that they would believe in this kind of nonsense. Victim
handed over personal belongings for rituals, which investigators say never returned.
Oh well, it disappeared. The spirits took it. I guess.
Another victim came forward during the investigation, detective to say
Marx instructed the victim to provide personal photos and details

(30:20):
that made increasingly unorthodox requests, including a Chanel purse and
additional money red flag much. Marx allegedly threatened the victim
with reputational damage if her instructions were not followed. Second
victim lost eighteen thousand dollars. Financial records from cash app,

(30:42):
zill and Credit Union confirmed the funds from both victims
were transferred into accounts belonging to these Two fraudsters arrested,
charged with corrupt organizations, dealing in the proceeds of unlawful activities,
theft by unlocka, unlawful taking, and multiple other offenses that
they roasted on top of that five point forty six
right now fifty five kre see he talks for well

(31:04):
to stay on the Internet and to stream and Jos
STREGGERD just told me Channel five is not working today.
Apparently they have a connection with Amazon and the internet outage.
So struggling along we are. And my guest for seven
oh five Ronda win tragedy. Tragedy. Her daughter got killed
and over the Rhine random drive by shooting. She was
a total innocent victim and mother of five. Ronda's got

(31:25):
a sick child She's taken care of in Joe and
I's surmise that it's so one of her daughter's children
that she left. So sad. Anyway, Ronda, hope that everything
works out for you. Will have you back on the program,
hopefully sometime real soon. Let's get her to Corey and
see what he's got. Corey, thanks for holding Welcome to
the show.

Speaker 9 (31:45):
Hey morning, Brian. Yeah, the Internet. I had to uninstall
my iHeart and app and reassault and then work after
I'm listening from in the end of this morning.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Appreciate that.

Speaker 9 (31:57):
I just wanted to call the whole note kings enough
the people doing that or some of the I will
call the dumbest people on our society, and no other
excuse for him. I spend my Saturday with other things.
Probably had a day off on the weekend not doing anything.
So I chose to watch college football and indulges some
golf beverages instead of partaking and.

Speaker 8 (32:22):
No kame.

Speaker 9 (32:23):
But anyway, that's really all I have. More just want
to say, don't vote, write, don't.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
Vote the progress.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
There you go, Corey, appreciate it, and I guess I
can observe since just watching football and sucking down cold ones, really,
I mean, doesn't accomplish anything but to provide you with
relaxation and entertainment on a beautiful saturday. You probably accomplished
about as much as they did, but you had a
hell of a lot better time doing it, just didn't.

(32:49):
All those old people have grand children that could have
been spending time with. I just I don't know who
am I to to make decisions like that on behalf
of people. I can just judge them right in my
own subjective way. Content of character, judged by people's actions
and what they do and how they speak, what they say,
how they dress. Yeah, there's that, back into the stack

(33:13):
of stupid. Alternatively, phone calls are always welcome here on the
fifty five KC Morning Show. Got a routine go to Davenport, Florida.
I gotta have a Florida story in the Stacker Stupid
Routines Amen Routine Sunday at Davenport McDonald's apparently escalated into
a dangerous situation involving a firearm after an argument about
a food order. Of course, Poul kind of Sheriff Grady

(33:35):
Judge said the incident started when the restaurant started getting
slammed with orders, ended up with three arrests, one injury,
and the folks involved being charged. According to the sheriff,
they threatened to attack a man who said, we're busy,
we can't take any more orders, and he did that
because the manager told him to. It started as the

(33:55):
disagreement drive through turned into a face to face violent act.
Sheriff's dead, but he said the men involved reportedly came
into the restaurant and threatened them with violence. One of
them mentioned quote, I got a switch, I got a
thirty clip. Now, that for folks in the know, means
he was probably carrying a glock with a thirty round

(34:18):
magazine and has a glock switch, which means he converted
into fully automatic, which means that firearm is illegal. The
manager attempted to intervene, but the situation escalated. According to investigators,
Guy aimed his firearm. Jojuan Soto pulled the gun out,
aimed it at the two men who threatened him, ultimately
firing and striking one of them. Identified mister Peter's story

(34:39):
shot him in the neck, although it was described as
a minor injury. After that shot, So did not remain
at the restaurant. Apparently, according to the deputies, he grabbed
his gun, the casing and projectile on the floor and
ran because he's scared. We at least he had the
fourth site that trapped the spent casing fingerprints. Anyway, that shot,

(35:00):
Soda fled the scene, taking his gun in a shellcasing.
Sheriff's office later charged him with tampering with evidence and
removing the shellcasing. The two men involved, Nicholas Jones Peter Storry,
charged with trespass after warning and disorderly conduct. Both bonded
out over an order five five fifty five KERR CD

inviting me to stick around all morning, although our seven

for reasons I totally understand Ron to win. He lost
her daughter in a random gun fire, shooting it over
the Rhine earlier this summer. It's got a sick one
she's got to take care of. So hopefully we'll have
Ronda back on the program at some future date. Christopher Smith,

Jim Kiefer for holding over the brag. Welcome back, Good morning.

Speaker 10 (36:43):
Brian Thomas. Channel nine finally covered this story that I'm
going to talk about yesterday. It's the only station I
saw cover at so far, which one with random shooting
with Corey Bowman's his church took a potshot. I think
they're trying to send the message that they're not particularly

(37:04):
happy with him running for mayor against pervol so they
found a bullet hole through one of the glass panels
at his church. I think that's pretty stupid, pretty low there.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
Buddy, Yes it is, and uh, you know, I was
pleased to see that. I guess Fox nineteen at least
carried the article this morning, a slightly update from the
article they released yesterday. But Corey did issue his statement
on Saturday about this bullet hole that he found. And
also remember Signal ninety nine and again props the Signal
ninety nine, whoever you happen to be. I think either

(37:37):
a current or former police officer. She has got the
inside scoop on literally everything. It's pretty mind blowing. And
she had commented she had commented about people that she's
following online who had engaged in doxing of Corey Bowman,
and they told us they announced his address as a
church's address, obviously with his suggestion that someone should do

(37:58):
something about Corey Bowman as if he represents some sort
of threat to the city. The only person who represents
a threat to is the current administration, which is failing miserably.

Speaker 10 (38:08):
Yeah, it's pretty pathetic though, And I mean, you can
go down, let's just say, you can throw an orange
or throw a can of paint or something like this,
But when you're talking about even though maybe it was
after hours, you never know if there's a custodian in there,
right or something like that. To take a pot shot
and do something like that, it's pathetic. But of course,

(38:29):
if this person would ever brag about it and get
caught and get in front of a liberal judge, they're
just going to probably put it off as a prank.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
A prank, yeah, and they probably have a that's tongue
in cheek on that one. Several priors for having firearms
under disability most likely. I mean, anybody who's willing to
do this is probably not lawfully carrying a firearm in
the first place. That's ignorant.

Speaker 10 (38:51):
I mean, it's totally ignorant. Yeah, I just thought i'd
I got up late this morning, so I didn't hear
you talking about it yet, so.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
I thought I didn't bring it up. I was kind
of holding off to the six o'clock hour because I
figured these local issu would be a nice segue to
Christopher Smithman smither Band at seven twenty.

Speaker 10 (39:08):
So yeah, maybe maybe he'll talk about it. I wonder
if anything like that's happened to him when he was running.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
No kidding, you know, something tells me no. Something tells
me no. But it's a good question to ask Christopher
real quick here which no King's rally? Did you attend
west Side, Jim Kiefer.

Speaker 10 (39:24):
I actually flew to DC and it was front and
the line holding the banner with the helmet on in
a kind of macrophone. Yeah, I was there.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Brian. Well, you're in the right either. You're in the
right age group for the vast majority of people who
showed up, So just just ask.

Speaker 10 (39:36):
That's real nice, that's real nice. Yeah, I wouldn't talk
somebody else had just hit that six.

Speaker 4 (39:42):
I know.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
I brought that up this morning. I said, I'm you know,
the last year if they even count nineteen sixty five
as part of the baby boomers, it's the last year
that they're counted in. Yes, I know that. I would
have not looked out of place at a No King's rally.
I drove past one, but I didn't partici because again,
what question mark? What did they accomplish?

Speaker 10 (40:05):
I have absolutely no idea.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
But they did get they did.

Speaker 10 (40:08):
Get media out of it, you know, and oh yeah,
if you want to, but they so they accomplished that,
I guess. But other than that, I have no idea.
I mean, I guess there's a waste of time for
a day. Let them do what they want to do.
It doesn't mean anything.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
At least it gets you out in the open air. Well,
maybe they're going to talk about what comes next today,
and I've been pointing out that no Kings dot org
is the place to go if you're interested in this
kind of crap, join us today at APM to talk
about what comes next. I don't know that they even
know what comes next. Jim, I just hope that the
billion this effort apparently a lot of fount to Christ
they realized they were basically criticizing the organizan. But I

(40:43):
really kind of hope they keep spending millions and millions
and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of dollars
at efforts live because if they get no retriatment, then
they just with all their money.

Speaker 10 (40:54):
So that doesn't I don't know what they're investing in
unless they're signs. I guess there's signs are maybe sending
a TIFA in or whatever they're doing. Of course, everybody's
going to point back to Sorows and in that little group,
but I guess we'll see. But you think Trump really
sat back and worried about these people, I sincerely doubt it.

Speaker 9 (41:17):
No.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
And if you believe the seven million figure, considering there's
three hundred and forty or fifty million people in the
United States, it only represents a small tiny sliver of
humanity here.

Speaker 10 (41:27):
So and that's spread across the whole nation.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
Across the entire nation. Amen, brother correct, good to hear
from you, Janks, Brian, stay well, keep fighting that cancer. Pete,
thank you for calling this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show.

Speaker 8 (41:40):
Good morning, Brian, thanks for taking my call.

Speaker 10 (41:42):
Hey, I saw where they found a sniper nest in
line a side of Air.

Speaker 8 (41:47):
Force one on.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Well, there's maybe a deer stand. A couple of reports
I read they say they believe it has been there
for several months, so it could have been a hunter
that put that up. Of course that I'm glad they
found it, and of course it could be connected with
an attack on Donald Trump. But as of right now,
the investigation is still going on. And I did read
that suggestion. Whether it's true or not, we're all going
to find out down the road I spoke.

Speaker 8 (42:11):
I wonder why they didn't just stake it out instead
of announcing it the sea who showed up.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
Yeah, that'd be a good idea, That's what I would Pete.
Maybe you should be a member of law member of
law enforcement. No no, no, no no, don't say anything to
the public about it. Put a camera on it.

Speaker 8 (42:29):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
Thanks Pete, appreciate it. Man, have a good day. Seven
four fifty five hundred eight hundred eighty two three Talk
or go with pound five point fifty on at and
t punds now that it's wildly reported this morning and
over the weekend. The police Chiefdiji, who's struggling with her
relationship with they have to have purvol and city Manager
Cheryl Long, the two people that hired her. She may

(42:53):
be out of a job and some respectulator maybe as
early as today. So she's lawyered up. She's has attorney
Steve m now representing her and what she I guess
she anticipates will be an employment related dispute. Steve m
one of the attorneys get a load of this representing
former Cincinnati fire chief Michael Washington in his wrongful termination
lawsuit against the city and the city manager Jarrel Long.

(43:18):
So she's facing her legal struggles and by all accounts,
since former since an A fire chief Michael Washington has
an outstanding case for wrongful termination, some are saying that
he should return his chief of the fire department. Anyway,
apparently got a good legal team. So, uh, we don't

(43:39):
know what's going to happen to Dji, but she's of
course one of the focuses of this attack on crime
and policing in downtown the city is the residents at
least are upset they say they've perceived crime to be rising.
They know crime is rising in certain neighborhoods. Some are
accusing the police department and maybe this is the administration
of fudging the day to make crime look lower than

(44:01):
it actually is. There's some evidence of that, but the
perception that we've got some serious violence going on and
the police department is understaffed and they haven't allocated resources properly.
They've funneled resources over to people who aren't even capable
of issuing citations or stopping crime. These community activist types
that are out and about. Some of that money could
be going to the police department to hire more police officers.

(44:23):
We all know the old argument. But what did Police
Chief Diji do? Did she go her own way do
what she wanted with resources for law enforcement or did
she follow the instructions of AFTAB, Parl Ball and Cheryl
Long Again, her employers, the folks that hired her and
have the ability to fire her. If you're in that position,
do you do what they tell you to do in
terms of police force operations and law enforcement measures or

(44:48):
do you do what you've been trained to do. She's
got decades of experience in law enforcement. Shouldn't she know
where the allocation of resources should go. I don't know
she was able to chime in on that, but apparently
she followed what they wanted. And now, well, it looks
like she's got a target on her back from the
very people who hired her after a perval. Trying to
blame others for perhaps his own policies. He was one

(45:11):
of those rethink the police kind of guys. He campaigned
on defunding the police, going back over to Signal ninety
nine's observation. He politicized the department, stripped officers discretion, micromanaged enforcement,
lied about crime stats, claiming Cincinnati was safer than ever
while shooting stabbings in homicide Skyrocket, denied the gang crisis
that has neighborhoods terrified and officers overrun. Tried to replace

(45:33):
trained police officers with community responders who can't arrest anyone,
can't pursuse suspects, and certainly can't protect you. Well, that's
her summary. She sounds about right, and who's going to
be blamed for the failure of those particular policies. Apparently
Police Chief Fiji. I think she probably knows where the

(45:54):
bodies are buried and skeletons are summer call. I know
Todd Zenzer is saying, do not enter into a non
disclosure agreement. If you're signing a settlement, retain the right
to speak to the public about what's going on behind
the scenes. Six seventeen right now fifty five K see

(46:17):
the talk station right No. Six twenty one, Happy Monday,
to feel free to coffee life five one three, seven
hundred eight two to three talk of both Tom five
fifty on eighteen and two phones. Yeah, I keep giving
credit to the signal ninety nine for having her her
finger on the pulse of you know. Background information has
yet to be reported in local news motive we can

(46:40):
apparently Connie Pilitz over the Hamilin County prosecutors always file
fired at two long term career prosecutors, apparently for political reasons.
So that's one thing that has not been reported locally. Thankfully,
local news finally reported on the bullet hole that was
found in Corey Bowman's church, which she had reported on
as well. And here's the other thing on police Chief

(47:02):
Thiji and what her future is. Some suggesting maybe as
early as today that they let her go. We'll see
but here's a rumor that apparently is swirling according to
Signal ninety nine. If you're out there, good morning, rereck
follow her on Facebook. Meanwhile, at the Sheriff's office, whispers
are growing louder. Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey thinks she's next in
line to be the chief of this insane police department. Okay,

(47:27):
let you decide whether that's going to solve anything. How
things going to the sheriff's department. Yeah right, okay, maybe
you know a sheriff. They'll tell you exactly how things
are going. And over to Corey Bowman. Here's his statement,
Corey Bowman dot com consider him from mayor. Early voting
is open. You might want to consider him if you

(47:48):
want to go a different direction. I know I've been
saying that a lot lately. I'm running out a number
of weeks to do that, anyway, he says. On Saturday,
October eighteenth, twenty twenty five, during our preparation for service
of our church five oh three Clark Street, we discovered
a bullet hole that had penetrated an exterior window at
the Clark Street side of the building. An official report
been filed with the Sin sint Police Department, who had
been very helpful. As the building was unoccupied during the incident,

(48:12):
It's been classified as property damage. It is worth noting
that over the past week, there have been several negative
social media posts specifically regarding my family, are my family's
personal residents and the church's address posts that are made
due to the nature of our current mayoral campaign. Throughout
this campaign, we've encountered negativity, unfortunately, including threatening messages directed

(48:37):
at our church, businesses, and family. Despite these challenges, we've
adopted and made decisions to continually prioritize the safety and
security of my family and those around us. This Sunday,
that will be yesterday, I'll be attending a previously scheduled
deployment in another local Cincinnati church. Will not be present
for our morning service. However, our associate Pastor Bobby Simms
and my wife, Pastor Jordan, will deliver powerful man messages

(49:00):
of faith said. I want to assure our congregation anyone
planning to attend tomorrow's main service, we will have the
proper security measures and personnel in place. Safety of families
and individuals that our church has always been and will
continue to be a top priority. We will not be
intimidated or deterred by any obstacles. Our life's work is
to positively impact the people of Cincinnati, and that commitment

(49:22):
remains unwavering. We love you and look forward to seeing
you at the River Church and Cincinnati attendam for the
main service. By all accounts, I guess it went okay.
But as it was previously pointed out, Corey has been
getting death threats, and the day before the building was shot,
his church was shot. There were several people on Facebook
Signal ninety nine identified him by name Anthony or Amy

(49:45):
Toath and someone named big keV. She said they have
been dosing Corey Bowman online. I don't know how you
can justify it. The man is a virtuous man. Listen
to what he says. He's not divisive, he's not angry.
I mean, he certainly is not engaging in the same

(50:07):
type in the activities and the evil that are coming from.
What I would argue, I suppose is the AFT tab
parlvall side of the campaign. I'm not suggesting for a
moment aftabs out there telling people to docs Corey Bowman.
But in these times, obviously the Internet provides an easy
vehicle to do just this. You don't believe in a

(50:28):
change in downtown Cincinnaty. Perhaps you're part of one of
these radical left wing organizations who appreciates the decline of civilization.
Then you get online you do things like this. Certainly
doesn't make it right. Local stories or phone calls either
way you want to go, be back after a brief
word here from my friends at six thirty fifty five
KRC Detalks Nation fifty five KRC Dot Comedy podcasts when

(50:49):
you can't listen live. Christopher Smithman coming up at seven
twenty money Money with Brian James, and we'll hear from
Patty Hertford Seniors just an outstanding organization if you're caring
for a senior, has got disabilities, has cognitive issues, memory
care problems, and maybe they're an assisted living facility. Hardfore
Seniors is an organization you need to reach out to.

(51:09):
They are there for you. Let us see here over
the local stories. Suspect from Monday nine double shooting a
Fountain Square turned to self into police yesterday evening. Hmmm,
let's see Fox nineteen reporting they were outside since I
Police Department's District one headquarters when a led shooting suspect

(51:30):
Shakielle Ferguson and his attorney, Clyde Bennett, showed up to surrender.
Ferguson's attorney said his client did nothing wrong, claiming it's
a right. It's a case of self defense, Bennett by
Bennett in Ohio, you have the right to defend yourself.
So I think there's some other videos out there that
will show that the individuals in that restaurant were actually
armed and pointing a gun at well. His client, ben

(51:52):
It says the only reason one video has been released
because the political climate in the city and, in his words,
the agendas of certain individuals. He says, this is a
random act of a person defending themselves. Bennett says the
twenty four year old is being charged with flownius assault
for the shooting. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

(52:14):
Everybody gets his day in court. Two people arrested Saturday
night after police received the report of a shot fired
into the air that led to a police pursuit in Newport.
Police arrested Devanta Pettis, who's eighteen, and James Fields, who's twenty,
both from Cincinnati and connects with the Incident's officer said
he's got a report of a gun shot in the
air and the one hundred block of East third Street

(52:35):
near the levee. Plumber. Investigation showed the shot fired into
the air was likely to cause public alarm. There's one thing,
police said. There are no reports of injuries or property damage,
though officers said they saw black Ford Fusion attempting to
flee the area, but because of heavy traffic, the suspect
hit three cars stopped at a traffic signal, vehicle occupied

(52:57):
by four men, police said, all of whom exited the
car and ran on one foot. Officers only able to
arrest two of the individuals who fled into the Levy garage.
Pattison Fields being held with the Campbell County Detention Center
facing charges of conspiracy to receive stolen property, possession of
a stolen handgun in fleeing innovating police in the third degree.
Police also recovered a forty caliber shell casing, as well

(53:18):
as a firearm. Officer state the car was confirmed stolen
from Covington. Ten people hospitalized, including one person now in
critical condition. This after a balcony collapsed on Friday Friday
night near at the University of Cincinnati. Fire department set
an eight by twelve foot porch and an apartment complex

(53:39):
on Stetson Street collapsed twenty feet to the ground below
too many people on it. Of those injured, fire departments
said one is in critical condition, the rest of non
life threatening injuries. Police said that seven of the victims
were taken to UC Medical Center. Two people with it
went to Good Samaritan Hospital, one to christ Fire department
said other victims may have self transport to the hospitals. They

(54:01):
called it a very chaotic scene. Early on in the incident,
folkesperson for the university, sent a statement saying, well, we're
working to identify and provide support to all students directly
affected by last night's event. It's your generic university issued statement,
probably applud by the legal department. Anyhow, they are continuing
to investigate. The fire department is no concern for other

(54:22):
units in the apartment complex right now. And finally we
go to the gunman who's been charged with killing a
man what police call a drive by shooting. The gunman
happened to be wearing an ankle monitor in connection with
a prior gun charge at the time he shot his firearm.

(54:43):
Fife year old Robert Shaw Westwood charged with murder after
police say he's shot a thirty four year old named
Justin Johnson near the three hundred block of Sycamore Street
two o'clock in the morning August seventeenth, at the time
wearing an ankle monitor in connection with outstanding charges of
carrying a concealed weapon in illegally poss sing your gun
according to court records, how many times you're gonna have
to go back to the well on this? I guess

(55:04):
now that these committed murder. This may be the final
straw that broke the Campbell's back. I'm not blaming Hamilton
County Common Please Judge dinkle Locker, who released him in
June for the earlier gun charges a twenty thousand dollars
bond with electronic monitoring. The judge approved adjusting Shaws monitoring
to allow for him to seek employment while the case
was ongoing. But this was two o'clock in the morning

(55:29):
on October seventeenth. I doubt he was out seeking employment.
He's gotten multiple weapons charges over multiple years. How's the
Mankel monitors working for you? Six thirty five fifty five
car Seedy talk station coming up on six forty fifty

(55:49):
five carosit Talk station looking forward to Christopher Smithman joining
the program at seven to twenty every Monday for the
smither Man. I hope you can look forward to that
and hope you can stick around for it. Remember when
you can't go to fifty five care and well, you
can stream the audio right from fifty five care Sea
dot com. It wasn't I guess it was kind of
sporadically working this morning. Passion nationwide, we were having some
internet struggles as a consequence of Amazon. So hopefully all

(56:12):
that's been resolved by now. I know our streaming service
is back up at least by several listeners accounts, so
that's working. And Joe Strecker finally got the zoom feed
to work so I can actually see him now. So
problems this morning. Kind of a weird Monday for everybody here. Uh,
let us see. I'm gonna pivot over to this one
because I'm a huge fan of Congressman Thomas Massey. Listeners

(56:33):
know that had him on the program regularly. He is
a constitutional purist. He knows what the highest law of
the land says and he sticks to it. You know how,
He's going to vote on any piece of given legislation
based upon what the Constitution says. President Trump, however, not
pleased with Congressman Massy, and he's previously gone on attack
against Congressman Massy. I think was earlier in June he

(56:55):
woned a lengthy tirade and said he was going to
back a challenger in the twenty twenty sixth primary, creating
days later, at least three billionaires created what is called
the Maga Kentucky Pack for the purpose of throwing out
Thomas Massey. They're the ones behind that negative ad campaign

(57:17):
referring to Congressman Massy as I guess a rhino or something,
and that's what Donald Trump was doing on Friday. So
do I always agree with Donald Trump. No, Here's what
he had to say on Friday. Third rate Congressman Thomas
Massey a weak and pathetic rhino from the Great Commonwealth

(57:39):
of Kentucky, a place I love and one big six times,
must be thrown out of office, Asaph Trump apparently now
supporting failed state level X candidate Ed Gowering. I hope

(58:00):
Ed gets into the race against Massey. Unlike lightweight Massey,
a totally ineffective loser who has failed us so badly.
Captain Ed Galleryin is a winner who will not let
you down should he decide to challenge Massey. Captain Ed
Gallrain has my complete and total endorsement. Run Ed run
close quote hmm. So we started out with this Kentucky Kentucky,

(58:27):
this mega Kentucky pack, and they had a combined two
million dollar contribution from some multi multi millionaire folks Miriam Addlson,
Paul Singer, and John Paulson three. Those three and Congress
from Massey has been on this program to mention them
by name as well, and as a observed, got a

(58:47):
real problem with this Gallerying guy, apparently a former Navy seal,
and salute him to a service for our country. Political
career consists only of a single primary loss on a
state Senate race level. Massey response had this to say,
after having been rejected in every elected official in the

(59:08):
fourth district, Trump's consultants clearly pushed the panic button with
the choice of a failed candidate, an establishment hack ed
Gallering Ed been begging them to pick him for over
three months now.

Speaker 11 (59:24):
Now.

Speaker 1 (59:24):
It's kind of interesting because as soon as they launched
this anti Thomas Massey pack, these multi multi millionaires or billionaires,
as the case may be. People came out swinging and
supported Congressman Thomas Massey by well donating to his campaign.
The anti Massy pack spurred followers to write checks to
Congressman Massy. He had his best ever fundraising quarter ever

(59:48):
between July and September. He racked in north of three
quarters of a million dollars. Over the weekend his campaign
well highlighted an interesting problem gallery and apparently has well
looky here. They wrote the hack Trump just endorse to

(01:00:08):
run against me is a Lindsey Graham donor. Of course,
that goes back to the reference of Donald Trump calling
Congressome Massey a rhino. Does anybody in my listening audience
truly categorize Congressom Massy as a rhino? I would hope not.
He opposed the two trillion dollars COVID nineteen relief package
back in twenty twenty. That's the subject matter of this well,

(01:00:30):
the supplements that are expiring at the end of the year,
because that's what the Democrats wrote in there. He voted
against the Big Beautiful Bill because he was going to
increase borrowing four point one trillion dollars that's a principled vote.
I know we get some benefits from the big beautiful
bill that it does increase the spending he introduced legislation
to in the US involvement Israeli's war on Iran. And
he's also I think this is probably critical of Donald

(01:00:53):
Trump's criticism of Congressom Massy, that pesky discharge petition that
he's behind. Oh that's right there already, Jeff Epstein, documents
that were promised for well years ahead of the election
of Donald Trump, and now we can't have them. Nothing
to see here, Relax, draw your own conclusions. But I'm

(01:01:16):
sticking with Congress from Massy, and I know my dear
friends in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, i'd like to suspect
also are quite happy with their choice. Six forty five.
Right now, Bobby's inna line. Bobby, I'll hang on, brother.
I'll take your call in a second. Here, folks, you
can feel free to call as well. That aption. It's
a six fifty year if you have care see decalk station.

(01:01:38):
I hope you're having a happy Monday, be some Monday anyway.
You enjoy your new King's rally. What do you feel
you accomplished, and what's with all the jeriatrics. The one
theme that that's come clearer the No Kings rallies. There's
a lot of old people out there that are sort
of angry about something or they were receiving a paycheck.
Either way, it doesn't matter to me, but predominantly baby boomers. Anyhow,

(01:02:01):
let's find out what Bobby did. It is No King's
rally over the weekend. Bobby, welcome back, my friend. Which
No King's rally? Did you attend?

Speaker 9 (01:02:09):
No?

Speaker 11 (01:02:09):
Sure, they didn't come down my street this weekend. I
don't know where they were at it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
Well, you would have fit right in. I know how
old you are. We've met before, we've launched before. You
may fall into the category of a Grantifa, which was
the grandparents version of Antifa that showed up over the weekend.

Speaker 11 (01:02:28):
There's an awful lot of peak haired women out there
I know today.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
Yeah, no question about it. Do you figure out what
they were fighting about? Do you know why they were there?

Speaker 6 (01:02:38):
No?

Speaker 11 (01:02:38):
No, they had no reason to be fighting. They just
want to be out there and be seen and heard.
And you know it was a beautiful day for him,
So you know they're gone.

Speaker 1 (01:02:47):
Well, they are gone. That's why I'm sort of scratching
my head wondering what they felt they accomplished on Saturday.
Anyhow would you call for today, Bobby? I mean to
interject my thoughts and comments over the reason you called
so let's hear it.

Speaker 11 (01:02:59):
Well, it has to do with the stat between Congress
and Massey and the President. I thought Trump was a
deal maker. If we're going to do something to try
to move forward, let's put the money in the effort
to get honest Greg out of the first congressional district.

(01:03:20):
Let's put our efforts toward things like that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:22):
You know what, You make a good point, Bobby, I
just recind of remember David Hogg, the guy that took
over the Democratic Party and immediately promised to allocate and
fund I think it was twenty million dollars of money
to run against Democrat primary candidates like that they aren't
left wing enough to meet David Hogg's personal litmus tests

(01:03:44):
that he would use Democratic Party money to fight them
in primary. This is kind of what Donald Trump is doing,
allocating valuable resources to fight against a guy who I
think my friends in Kentucky really appreciate and continue to
bring back to office time and time again. I mean,
how many times has MASSI been I'm married unsuccessfully.

Speaker 11 (01:04:03):
They wanted him in his district district. We need to
get these Democrats individuals, and that's what's next to their name,
a big D. You can call them, socialist, Marxist, whatever
their beliefs are in their ideologies. Get them out. If
we can't get a Republican to run against them, get
somebody in primary them out that we can work with. Yeah,

(01:04:26):
we need Yeah, money where it goes.

Speaker 1 (01:04:29):
We are responsible. Going back to a call this morning,
guy was having to go at judges and I'm disappointed
with the judiciary or the bench right now, most notably
in the Hamilton County. They're soft on crime, a lot
of woke judges out in the world, and he wanted
to hold them accountable by requiring the judges to somehow
serve some sort of prison term for someone that they
treated light handedly. And I thought of a bunch of
reasons why that wouldn't work out, But and ultimately I said,

(01:04:51):
you and I are responsible. I mean, if we vote
in liberal judges, we fail to pay attention, or we
don't go up and show up and vote, that's the fault.
Of the electorate that that is not the fault of
the liberal judge. They've got so much discretion sitting on
the bench that they can be light on crime. Many
of them are woke ideologically. They don't want they don't
think that the prosecuting people to the full suctent of

(01:05:12):
the law is the right thing to do. Why well,
because of some social issue out of the world, this
bent world that we live in, brought about by this
injustice and inequality and racism or whatever that's to blame
for an individual's choice to commit a crime. So they
don't want to hold that individual responsible for the bad
things that befell them throughout life, even though none of
us have gone through life without bad things befollowing us

(01:05:34):
from time to time. That's the basis for the well
their mentality with regard to criminal justice system. Now, should
they be held accountable for that? No, you and I
are we're the one to put them on a bench,
or we're the one that chose not to not to
go vote. We got an election in downtown Cincinnati, and
by all accounts, I mean Sherry Poll and God lover,
she's been at the board of Elections now for decades

(01:05:56):
she's seen more elections than you and I can think
about attention to them, and has an expectation it could
be wrong, but based upon the way things are right now,
her belief is that this is a guest, but it's
guest based upon lots of years of experience that only
about twenty five percent of the voters that are eligible
in the city of Sinceinna are going to cast a vote.

(01:06:17):
Seventy five percent of the city residents who are eligible
to vote aren't going to show up or they're not
going to cast an early vote, which is open right now.
You have an opportunity to change the direction of the bench.
There's some great judges on there that are should be
elected to the bench or retained on the bench. Why
wouldn't you engage in that effort if you want to

(01:06:37):
be tough on crime. If you think that's the part
of the problem, that the breakdown of the judicial system
is part of the problem, maybe Connie Pillach has something
to do with it. I don't know, but I think
there's a lot of Hamilton County prosecutors who are still
employed in the Prosecutor's office who are interested in right
going after these bad guys in prosecuting to the fullest
extent of the law, end up in front of a
woke judge. That's not going to happen. Can you hold

(01:06:58):
the judge accountable for that? No, not, given amount of
discretion they have as long as they haven't breached the
judicial canons or done something you know, illegal, immoral, or
ethically challenging, You're stuck with it. Wake up, vote better
next time. Say that about a multitude of representative senators,
and some people would argue even President sixty eighty five
fifty five care City, Thetalxation Joey I seven oh six

(01:07:33):
here fifty five care Se Detoxation, Happy Monday always made happy,
at least in my perspective, and I hope yours as well.
Seven twenty Every monody we hear from the former vice
mayor of the City of Sincinanti, Christopher smith Aman, Yes
he is running for council. Go vote Smitham, and you
can do it right now because early voting is going
on up until up until the well election day of November.
Just check your Board of Elections hours and make sure
they're open when you go cast a vote and get

(01:07:54):
it out of the way so you're not one of
the seventy five percent who probably won't vote in the election,
at least in the city of Sinceinnai. Over to the phones.
I promised Joey, we take him first. Joe you hold,
We got a Joey and and Joe Joey, thanks for
holding over the break. Welcome to the show.

Speaker 12 (01:08:09):
Hi, Brian, good morning.

Speaker 8 (01:08:10):
How you doing.

Speaker 1 (01:08:11):
I'm pretty well for a Monday. I feel like I
woke up a parallel universe.

Speaker 12 (01:08:16):
That is good, my friend, Hey, I just wanted to
bring up something there hasn't been much talk about that
really kicked me off personally, and that is a drug
cartel putting bounties on our American ice officers, And to me,
I think, how dare you and they are so beneath

(01:08:38):
us for us to take any trash or garbage of
such stumps to threaten our citizens for doing their job.
I'm surprised Trump hasn't thought.

Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
Of it yet.

Speaker 12 (01:08:50):
Of hopefully stuff that's coming, but he needs to put
out a bounty on some of these chapons and their
head henchmen. And he you know, there could pop do
some handy mercenaries around that would enjoy doing that job.
But he should put something out about them, and furthermore,
a couple of the top dogs. He should let them know,

(01:09:12):
not the fool around with them. I suggest that he
should put them on notice. And they've got glorious mansions
that they live in. He should give them twenty four
hours to get out and just come over and level them.
What in the pressure on them?

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
The ones in Venezuela, well, no, I'm.

Speaker 12 (01:09:33):
Not sure which cartels, but from what I understood from
what I heard, the Mexican cartels, well, we put this
bounties on our ice ag.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
That's kind That's kind of why I said that, Joey,
because of course we've got drug cartels in Mexico, we
got drug cartels in Colombia, we got drug cartels in Venezuela,
and probably more places that have drug cartels. We have
the Chinese Communist Party facilitating the fentanyl that's just inundated
our country and killing one hundred thousand people plus a year.
So there's lots of targets out in the world. I

(01:10:04):
just I personally have a fundamental problem with unilaterally deciding
who you're going to blow up and who you're not.
In countries with whom we have no declaration of war,
we have no congressional authorization to use of military force.
And you know that's kind of Senator Paul's point. He
was asked about this just the other day after Donald
Trump blew up a submarine which allegedly contained drug cartel
members and narco terrorists or whatever the label as you

(01:10:26):
put on them. And they, I guess they have intelligence
which says, yes, that submarine does in fact have drugs
on it, so blow it up. But by what authority?
I mean, where does it say that the President of
the United States has the unilateral authority to take these
actions against folks with whom we have no declaration of
war or even authorization to use the military force.

Speaker 12 (01:10:44):
Uh, you've got a real palid point too, And I
agree with you, but but I don't agree with him
docs and in America.

Speaker 1 (01:10:52):
Absolutely, Joey absolutely, you know, I you know, this should.

Speaker 12 (01:11:00):
Be a mat on a wall compared to having to
go deal with somebody and go into a country and
get the lobby. Well, I think you need to make
an example out of a couple of them.

Speaker 1 (01:11:08):
With bin Laden, you had authorization for use of military force.
It goes back to nine to eleven, so that one
was used for like basically two decades worth of warfare
against terrorist organizations. At least you could try to hang
your hat on that for the justification of going after him.
But how do the Venezuela and drug cartels enter in
any existing authorization for use of military force? They don't.

(01:11:29):
So maybe go back to Congress get some level of
authority to go after them, but I doubt you're going
to be able to get it in this unbelievably divided
environment we find ourselves in. So this lends itself to
that idea of expedience. You know what, screw those guys
if they're issue in boundies on our guys and we
need to go after them wholeheartedly. Let's get some people
out there that are on a missionaries you know, Oh yeah,

(01:11:52):
you know the word the Merson, thank you very much
for reminding me of a word you just used. Mercenary's
that's my part.

Speaker 12 (01:12:01):
There are some professionals out there which might enjoy this, well,
reward them.

Speaker 1 (01:12:07):
Well, the CIA's got these mercenaries effectively under the under
color of the CIA. They're the ones that are blowing
them up right now. So that's actually going on. But
that you're you're the idea of a bounty in the
internet world in which we find ourselves. I mean, look here, locally,
Corey Bowman's church got shot. They're online doxing him. Go
to the church. They're saying, they're giving us his home address.

(01:12:29):
He's got a wife and children there. It's the same
kind of concept on a smaller level. It's local politics.
The drug dealers see that their their their livelihoods can
mean come after by Donald Trump and the people. Of course,
a lot of the drug dealers are being arrested by
ICE agents. They're peddling the wares in these various neighborhoods.
They're getting thrown out of the country around it up.
This is impacting the ability for them to make money.

(01:12:50):
So of course they're going to issue death threats. And
add the death threats from the drug lords to the
death threats from all the other crazies out in the world. Here,
let me just add this, eh, hold on, hold on,
here we go, ready, Joey, hang on, you got this
article here? Don Lemon, Yes, that Don Lemon, formerly of CNN.

(01:13:10):
He was on a Fox He was apparently quoted his
saying this on the left hook with quadjeit Ali program.
His here's this quote. If you believe in the Second Amendment,
you believe in the Constitution, black people, brown people of
all stripes, whether you are an Indian American or a
Mexican American or whoever you are, go out in your

(01:13:31):
place where you live and get a gun legally, get
a license to carry legally, because when you have people
knocking on your door and taking you away without due
process as a citizen, isn't that what the Second Amendment
was written for? He asked rhetorically, they said fight back
against ice. It will knock some sense into the heads
of these people who are saying, WHOA, it's all great.

(01:13:52):
I don't believe they're doing it without due process. He's
basically telling people to take up arms against ice age
just knocking on the door. So I know, see Joey.

Speaker 12 (01:14:01):
Hey, yeah, well I will tell you this though, with
the drug cartel specifically maybe the ones that are that
are sending these messages out. I've been advocated this for
a long time, and I quit this in every war
and everything because christ is wealthy or violence only understands violence,

(01:14:22):
and they should do something to them.

Speaker 1 (01:14:23):
Might think ultimately, somehow, somehow, and again from an expedient
standpoint from a hatred of drug cartels and organized criminals.
That's me. I'm with you all day long on my
feelings about them. But again going back to that Congressman
Thomas Messy position, we do have a supreme law of
the Lent. It does not allow this reckless use of

(01:14:43):
force without some sort of check and balance. That's what
our constitution is all about. Let our elected officials give
Donald Trump the authority to do this. You can all
hash it out in court on whether it's appropriate or not,
but at least you'd have some mix of executive power
and congressional authority, which is exactly what I think is
required when it comes to using force in countries where

(01:15:05):
we don't have a declaration of war. Joe, thank you
for holding. Welcome to the show, Happy Monday.

Speaker 13 (01:15:11):
Yes, sir, as far as as our teen Jeffries and
Chucky Schumer beller about tik already two onions about how
good Obama Care is. Why does it need to be
subs andized to start with?

Speaker 1 (01:15:25):
They wrote the rules on it, Joe. No truer words
could have been spoken. You're exactly right. They wrote the language,
They wrote the subsidies subsidies captain at four hundred percent
of poverty level, which captured basically sixty eight hundred dollars
if I recall correctly, those subsidies extended without any income
tabs because of Yes COVID nineteen with an expiration on

(01:15:46):
those subsidies the end of this year. They wrote it,
they put it in there. They're living the reality of it.
I don't understand how any Republicans, which they are, are
now starting to waver on that concept, and there are
some There are some Republicans that are There is no
free lunch Bamacare. Obamacare's is it's a laugh. The only
thing that's keeping it alive or the general revenue is

(01:16:08):
from the American taxpayer. That's where the subsidies go. It
keeps it afloat, and if you take it away, Obamacare
is revealed for the nightmare it is. It'll collapse under
the weight of itself because it's just simply unsustainable. Appreciate it.
Joe got a run I'm gonna hear from Christopher Smithman
coming up in next seven to fifteen. Right now, I
fifty five kre CD talks things from one fifty five
KR seat the talk station seven nineteen fifty five kre

(01:16:34):
CD talk station. I just look forward to this time
of week time for the smith Van former vice mayor
of the City of CINCINNTI currently writing for us Sincinny
City Council. Please vote for Christopher Smithment. Early voting is
going on, and maybe consider Lynda Matthews, Liz Keating, Gary Favors,
Steve Gooden, Seth Walsh, and of course judges are important.
You got Josh Berkerwitz, Betsy Sunnyman, Michael Pack and Gwen

(01:16:54):
Bender to choose from, and I encourage you to go
in that direction. Welcome back, Christopher Smithman. It's always a
pleasure to have you on the show.

Speaker 8 (01:17:01):
Oh brother, thank you so much for having me on.
Brian and I hope you had a great weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:17:07):
I did, thank you very much. It was quiet. It
was a quiet, empty nester weekend of the Thomas household.
My son was out of town in a camping trip
with my daughter's fiance, so it was a very nice weekend.

Speaker 8 (01:17:18):
Okay, all right, you know, our kids never believe that
there's life after them.

Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
No smarter than that.

Speaker 8 (01:17:29):
Oh they're smarter than that. Yeah that's right. Oh yeah,
but let me let me share this with you. Man.
The hottest story out here right now locally is the
firing of our police chief. And I want to I
want to publicly weigh in on this, and it might
take me two segments getting into my vent, but I

(01:17:53):
want to set this up for your listening audience. Let's
remember that this entire summer, from the time that the
governor offered their services, governor might DeLine to this mayor,
he has said, we don't need them, we don't need them.
And then somewhere in the summer he went to twice

(01:18:13):
a month, and now he's at four times a month,
which makes no sense right to the governor's office or
to rational people.

Speaker 1 (01:18:21):
And you are referring, of course, to the governor's offer
of Ohio State Patrol officers every day of the month.
It started out with provol accepting two two days a month,
and then he said, oh, okay, we'll take four days
a month, in spite of the fact that governor made
the resources available for every day of the month.

Speaker 8 (01:18:41):
That's exactly right. And during this whole time, the mayor
has been saying crime is down, crime is down. This
is our perception, not the reality. And he would always
start with the stacks. He did it in both debates
against Corey Bowman. Matter of fact, he said Corey Bowman
didn't have experience. If they're seeing I think Corey Bowman

(01:19:03):
in his way, said that the mayor doesn't have common sense.
This is a race about common sense, but not going
to get into that. Why would you need to fire
the police chief two weeks before the election if crime
is down, which is what this police chief and any
police chief in any major city or any small city,

(01:19:24):
their number one job extruction is crime down. So if
the crime fighter is doing a good job, why would
you need to fire them? So people have to think
through what is actually going on. And this is more
about escapegoat. This is saying I need a scapegoat before
the elections so that I can act like I'm doing

(01:19:44):
something because I'm under pressure. Places like Hyde Parking Mount Lookout,
places like Westwood and Priceville into Damsville for example, places
like bond Hill, Rose, London, Evingston might not be voting
for me because they're very concerned about crime. And so
now his reality, his political reality is starting to hit

(01:20:06):
him and he's saying I've got to do something. I've
got to show something. What I'm going to do is
find escapegoat. I'm going to fire Chief Fiji. But let
me share something with you.

Speaker 1 (01:20:18):
Yes, didn't aren't we all under the impression and it's
been widely reported police Chief Fiji who answers to Purvol
and Cheryl Long, the ones that hired her and are
in a position to fire her at will. Wasn't she
following their crime fighting directives? Wasn't he mayor afta pervle
a guy that campaigned on reimagining or defunding the police.

(01:20:40):
He's the one that put these community responders on the
streets as opposed to police officers. I mean she was
just doing what she was told or implementing the strategies
that he ran on. Wasn't she?

Speaker 8 (01:20:51):
Absolutely? Brian Thomas, I pray that your listeners are listening
to what you just said. It is critical exactly. I mean,
even to the detail of I want two officers here,
I want an officer there, even when the police chief
is saying no, no, no, I don't want that, or

(01:21:11):
even to the point of hiring a consultant, meaning it's
not like the police chief was like I need a consultant,
I need the kind of the federal oversight, which there
is no federal oversight over our police department. But I
need to hire this consultant to kind of direct us
and tell us how to do policing. None of that
is coming from the police chief's office. And so what

(01:21:36):
I want to highlight here, though, is her record because
between Monday and Tuesday, and maybe we'll come back to
the next segment here set this up. There's going to
be a deal on the table right now. We have
a police chief. But because of how sure long our
city manager handled this, pulling her back from a conference
that she's attending with her husband, they're landing, and all

(01:21:59):
of a sudden they get a call get back to Cincinnati.
She's standing there with all police chiefs from around the
United States of America and some from around the world.
And now you just after thirty seven years with Cincinnati PD,
thirty seven year career, you call her back like a

(01:22:19):
principle from a conference from Denver and say, I just
want you've got to come back here right now. Why
couldn't they wait three or four or five days or
whatever the lenk of the conference to have this public discussion.
It was humiliating for the police chiefs, humiliating for those
who want to be the police chief, and humiliating for

(01:22:41):
the rank and file. And this is why there's the morale.
The morale in the Cincinnati Police Department is so low.
If you treat the fire chief, which they treat it
very poorly, and you treat the police chief like this,
it makes everybody. It creates an uncertainty within the police
depart and it does nothing but really confirm what pops

(01:23:03):
already know. You guys don't support me, you don't respect me,
you don't value me.

Speaker 1 (01:23:08):
Let's pauseibring Christopher back to continue the event for this morning.
First word for a cross country mortation Monday, we're doing
that smith event thing. Christopher Smithman running for Sincai City Council.
Strongly encourage my listeners to consider voting for Christopher Smithman
and get out and vote. It's time for early voting,
just during the open hours from the Hamlin County Board
of Elections. Just don't show up after hours. Christopher, you

(01:23:30):
have the floor, my friend. We were continuing a theme
or a thought or a discussion topic along the lines
of Police Chief Teresa Thiji kind of on thin ice
right now. She has lawyered up too.

Speaker 8 (01:23:42):
She's lowered up, and it makes sense she's hired the
finny law firm to represent her. And you can anybody
listen to this knows that this is going to be
resolved this week. As a matter of fact, it probably
will resolve in the next forty eight hours.

Speaker 1 (01:23:59):
That's what I've.

Speaker 8 (01:24:00):
Because correct, because the police department, right, you have to
know who the leader is and who's making decisions. If
you don't, it puts all of us at risk. And
so you've seen a mayor and a city manager. Again
one of the reasons I got in the race, and
many other people got in the race, like a Keeting
you've talked about, or you know, like a Matthews. You know,

(01:24:24):
lots of people have got in this race because they're
concerned about what they're seeing at city Hall. And we
just saw a major blunder. It didn't have to happen
that way. Here's a person that is given, let's just say,
thirty five years of their life to the city. Does
anybody believe listening to me that she can't retire? Meaning

(01:24:46):
this is not about like can she retire? Can she
move on? I mean, treat the lady with dignity. Think
about this right, and I got I have this data.
So Chief Terry Fiji thirty seven years CPD. This is
her family, the family. Captain Gary Neville her dad, fifteen

(01:25:07):
years with the Cincinnati Police Department. Lieutenant Roger Hildebrand thirty
years with the Cincinnati Police Department. Lieutenant Mark Hildebrand twenty
eight years with the Cincinnati Police Department. Captain Russ Neville
thirty four years with the Cincinnati Police Department. Captain Mike
Neville thirty four years with the Cincinnati Police Department. In

(01:25:31):
the Hamilton County, Hamilton County, Captain Rick Neville thirty years.
Specialist Joyce Neville Lips thirty four years. This family has
two hundred and forty two years working in law enforcement
in our community. And they have now nephews and sons

(01:25:52):
are who are now serving and that adds up to
another fifty years. So you're talking two hundred and ninety
two years years. And this is how this mayor and
this manager treats this chief. It's undeserving community and it's
an indication of what's broken at city Hall. Why not

(01:26:13):
only I'm running, but why a goodness is running?

Speaker 11 (01:26:16):
Right?

Speaker 8 (01:26:16):
Why keating is running. People have really good choices. And
by the way, you haven't heard from anybody from city
council trying to reel in this bonker's behavior. Look, Chief
Washington has run his legal case. You know better than
me as a lawyer. The city has appealed it. This

(01:26:36):
is the fire chief. They lost. The judges said, stop
screwing around and settle the case. Anybody listening, I'm going
to give a range one million to five million, some
say ten million, meaning they treated the fire chief so badly,
they were wronged so badly what they put in the paper.

(01:26:59):
As tries to apply for other jobs, he can't get
them because it looked like they went after him for
sexual misconduct with nothing but so far further further from
the truth. It was a debacle record. Now we have
a police chief and a fire chief. Really here where
the manager and the mayor have these two cases now

(01:27:22):
where both sides meeting, the fire and the police are
both suing this administration. Think about that police and fire
are both suing and and by the way, in a
Chief Washington's case, so the judge said that the chief
could go after the city manager personally just from her

(01:27:45):
capacity with the city but he could go after her personally,
So this thing isn't over. They might settle this case
and and and she and there he is using the
Fitny law firm. They also might decide to now turn
and sue Cheryl Long personally for how she treated him.

Speaker 1 (01:28:04):
Well. My understanding is that the fire chief, Michael Washington,
has already filed suit not only against the city but
also Cheryl Long. Question remains if Teresa Thiji is going
to have to file a lawsuit. I don't believe she
has filed one yet, But if she gets terminated, I
think the writing's on the wall. We can all count
on that happening. I think most likely resolution is, and
people are concerned about this, that she'll settle with the city.

(01:28:27):
She will take a voluntary retirement and step down from
her position. She'll get paid, She'll get a check written
to her, and probably that will be a company by
a gag order, meaning that Chief Theiji won't be able
to say anything about what she was instructed to do,
the relations with maybe Iris Rowley or the city man.
It doesn't I mean all those facts and details behind
the scenes, you and I will not be able to

(01:28:48):
get If they get a gag order.

Speaker 8 (01:28:52):
You're very correct, and that's going to be we should
all be watching that today and Tuesday. I just can't see.
And you know, your sister retired Cincinnati police officer, you
know she'll have even better insights than me. But I
just can't see them dragging this out an entire week
because you essentially you don't know who's running the department.

(01:29:12):
I mean, the chief is still making decisions because she's
the chief, but like you've said, you're going to fire her.
You don't want her there, right, you know who's listening
to those directions? Right? It's and so this decision that
the city manager and the mayor have placed us, meaning
the citizens, you and others, they've made it. They put

(01:29:35):
our lives on the line because they're creating again this
uncertainty within this department called the police department that we
all depend on to keep us safe. This is so reckless, unnecessary,
it's unbelievable. And why when people say, because you know,
we've been knocking on doors and people are like, oh,
you know, I don't vote in the city elections. You know,
like in Hyde Park there might be sixteen thousand registered voters,

(01:29:58):
but maybe three thousand or thirt five hundred or four
thousand show up. We need citizens who are listening because
voter turnout right now, Brian Thomas, is so low. Right now,
we need people to hear our voices. Right The jury
now is in the box the people. It's time for
us to show up and vote and vote in a

(01:30:20):
very high number so that we can change the complexion
the people that are serving on city council and change
who's sitting in that mayor seat. We can do it
if people show up and vote. The question is our
places like Hyde Parking Mount Lookout and Bond Hill and
rolls On in Evan City. We can go through the
list into Damsville Price Hill. Are they going to actually

(01:30:41):
show up? I don't know right now. The voter turnout
is low, and don't you know. I encourage people. This
is a very critical election and they should vote like
their life depends on it.

Speaker 1 (01:30:53):
They should seven thirty seven right now, one more with
Christopher Smith and I have this quick word for USA installation.

Speaker 7 (01:30:58):
This Talk Safe.

Speaker 1 (01:31:03):
Seven one the fifty five Karracdi Talks Station. Bryan Thomas
with Christopher Smith. Aman wrapping up another Monday Morning Smither
vent Christopher Issue five is the reason Mary have to
have Purvol on Cheryl Long we're able to decide who
the police chief is going to be. I know the
Since Saint Police Department union did not want Charmaine McGuffey
has been widely reported so over the objections of the

(01:31:24):
members of the Sin Saint Police Department. Long and Purvol
put Fiji in that role. She obviously has been following
their instructions and directions. We talked about that earlier in
the segment. There's now rumors that if the inevitable happens,
which we expected to happen, she'll step down and probably
take some sort of check from the city and walk away.

(01:31:44):
They're Signal ninety nine reporting that Charmaine McGuffey believes she
may be next in line to be the chief of
the Sin Saint Police Department. So I'm not quite sure
that the union members would want or elect Chief Fiji
if they had the ability to do so. But do
you think we need to revisit the idea of issue
five and taking away the choice from the police officers

(01:32:06):
and giving it to the city manager and the mayor
is a good idea?

Speaker 8 (01:32:10):
Yeah, I think that we have to look at issue five.
They're good parts and bad, but this is the bad
part I will publicly share with you. What I hope
to do is look at our charter and make it
impossible for the city manager to fire the fire chief
or the police chief without the consent of council. So

(01:32:34):
right now, the mayor cannot fire the city manager without
the consent of council. You have to have seven members
of council to say yes to that termination. I think
that same streshold should be the same for police and fire.
That would clear it up because we wouldn't be having
these discussions if the Board of Directors, which we call

(01:32:57):
nine members of city council had to make that decision
on whether the city manager could terminate or not, it
would have it would have put a backstop on the
fire chief. It would have put a backstop on the
police chief. So that's the direction I'd like to go in,
and I've been I've started those those private discussions with
both unions seeing how they feel about a charter amendment

(01:33:20):
in twenty twenty six that does just that. Uh, the
city manager no longer would have the power of termination.
It would be in the hands are they are the
are the final confirmation by seven members of Council, which
is a very high threshold. It get you, it is
I don't think seven members. I don't think seven members
of Council right now would vote to terminate Chief Fiji.

(01:33:43):
By the way, you know, she she could retire at
any time. You know, you just go to her and
you say, hey, we're we're looking at moving in a
different direction. Sometimes people ask me, well, Smidelman, what would
you do differently? I would communicate, I would be respectful.
I would call the Chief. I wouldn't do it in
the middle of conference in Denver. I'd wait for her
to return. I'd sit down and say we're going to

(01:34:04):
hit in a different direction, and we want to do
it with the dignity that you've given us your thirty
thirty plus years of service. Let's walk out together, say
we're changing directions starting January first, as an example, and
then there isn't a need to hire Chris Finny. You're
not going to have to take a million or two
million dollars from taxpayer money to give to her, you know,
as a parachute to walk away and sign some type

(01:34:26):
of an agreement. But when you treat her like trash
and you drag her reputation through the mud when the family,
meaning that Neville family, is giving you two hundred and
forty two years of service, and their and their nephews
and their grandchildren are serving across the county in the
city in another fifty years. They've got almost three hundred
years in And you've got a guy from Dayton, Ohio

(01:34:48):
rolling in saying, hey man, I'm just going to throw
you out like you're the trash. You better believe this
family is gonna fight. And by the way, community, they've
hired one of the best law firms to do it
that we have. He's incredibly successful. So the reality is
she might not, which I hope that if the family
is listening, I hope she doesn't sign an agreement. I

(01:35:08):
hope she fights to get the money and doesn't have
to sign the agreement so we can hear her voice,
so she can come on the Brian Thomas Show. Brian
can interview her and talk about her experience, her lustrous
experience with the Cincinnati Police Department, particularly over the last
four years. I think the public deserves to hear from
this police chief, and I hope she doesn't have to

(01:35:30):
sign any kind of an agreement.

Speaker 1 (01:35:32):
Yeah, I agree with you on that. I guess, you know,
going back to your original point, the timing of this
is just crazy. Have to have provo going on and
on and on and on and on and on and
on about how safe it is in the city of
Cincinnati under the leadership of police Chief three soy Thigi,
and then the next breath, by the way, we're going
to fire her or we're going to get rid of
her because well, we're not happy with how crime is

(01:35:53):
being fought here in the city of Cincinnati. It's it's
just batcrap crazy. If I could boil it down to
a phrase.

Speaker 8 (01:35:59):
It really is. And we have we're in the middle
of an election, which you have been stating and I
hope and I know you've been standing and I hope
you continue to say. Look, the most important thing when
you're voting for council is who you're voting for and
knowing how to vote in a nine X system. I
like to repeat this to the community. You never should
vote for nine people for city council, right, you should

(01:36:21):
vote for one, two, three, four or five people. Five
people is the majority. These are the five people that
I want to lead the council and lead the city
of Cincinnati and put a check in balance on the
mayor's office, which is the strong mayor system. So when
you're going in there, if you're in there voting for
nine people, you're already making, in my opinion, a mistake.

(01:36:41):
There aren't nine people in the field to vote for.
And by the way, if you want those five people
to win, why would you have four competing votes against
those five. So only vote for one, two, three, four
or five people. And when you go and vote, never
take a simple ballot, get no talk to your family
before you vote, walk in prepare you know. When I'm

(01:37:03):
over in a Sailor Park, man, you should see the
people in Sailor Park come with their own piece of paper.
Clearly they have talked about it and they're ready to vote.
All of us, as adults eighteen and above, should come
and come prepared that we've done our homework, the same
thing we tell our kids to do. Know who you're
going to vote for, and be prepared when you show up.

(01:37:26):
But this is a critical election. I've never seen anything
out like it. I've never seen so much chaos down
at city Hall. It's why I got in the race.
We need common sense and experience, and there's some good
candidates out here that we can say yes to. Brian Thomas.
We don't have to accept this behavior, but we can't
just have fifteen or nineteen or twenty percent of the electorate,

(01:37:46):
meaning eight out of ten voters stay home and think
we're going to make change at the end of the day.
Shame on us. It's our responsibility if we allow this
craziness to happen and we don't put a check in
balance on it.

Speaker 1 (01:37:58):
Yeah, and look what the New kingsfolks able to accomplish.
You know, these organize a left wing rally and a
whole bunch of people show up. And if that group
of people is highly motivated to vote because they love
the left wing, woke reality that is the city of
Cincinnati it's current leadership, then they're going to show up
at the polls. You can guarantee that. So why wouldn't
you want to act as a voice to counter that?
I mean, why would anyone stay at home? Recognizing the

(01:38:20):
force that these well funded political operatives have out in
the world. You know, the Irish rolly types who apparently
have a lot of connection with a lot of very
influential people who don't seem to want to vote in
the best interest of the residents of the city of Cincinnati.

Speaker 8 (01:38:34):
Well, you know what's so awesome about when I'm knocking
on doors is Democrats are saying they're not voting for
this council. They say things so consistently like the party
has left me. I don't know. I don't even recognize
the Democratic Party anymore. I don't know if they understand
this disconnect that's happening out there with Democrats. Democrats are

(01:38:55):
out there telling me I'm voting for Charter rights, I'm
voting for independence, I'm voting for report Republicans. I'm just
voting for people who have common sense, who can just
run the city. Okay, I am getting that kind of
feedback when I'm out there knocking on doors.

Speaker 1 (01:39:08):
All right, as long as they say they're going to
vote for that group of people as opposed to I'm
not voting for Democrats, and which can be translated into
I'm not going to go vote because I can't bring
myself a lifelong Democrat, I've always voted Democrat. I can't
bring myself to vote Republican or even Charter right. I'm
not going to vote, period. I'm staying at home. That's
what concerns me. Christopher Smithman votes Smithman. He's one of

(01:39:30):
the many that is quite a few out there that
you have an option for that do have common sense,
logic and reason. He obviously has a great record to
run on and don't forget the Hamilton County Municipal Court judges.
My recommendations Berkerwitz, Sunderman, Pack and Bender. Christopher, thank you
so much for your time and keep fighting, good fight.

Speaker 8 (01:39:47):
Ryan Thomas, thank you, sir.

Speaker 1 (01:39:49):
We'll talk on Monday next seven to fifty. Right now
if you about krosd Tolloring, We've been hiring of a
police chief or fire chief out and an extra set
of eyes, and maybe if we get a different mix
of counsel, a different political viewpoint when looking at these
maybe we should hold back. Maybe we shouldn't fire the
fire chief Michael Washington without taking a real close look
at his record and realizing he has a stellar record

(01:40:10):
and maybe there's nothing to these claims behind the scenes
that he was somehow sexually harassing people. Yeah, we're gonna
have to write a check. I got to point out
I knew Christopher is all about compensating these people for
their obviously significant damages. You know, write a check maybe
between a million and five million to Michael Washington. He
might very well deserve that for how he was treated.

(01:40:31):
You're paying for that. City taxpayers will be paying for that.
Let that sink in. Now, if you had better leadership,
a man wouldn't have lost a job in the first place,
and you wouldn't be out the multiple million dollar settlement
we all presume is going to happen down the road.
Elections are so dang important money money. With Brian James

(01:40:52):
coming up at the top of the air news, how's
this shutdown affecting you? Is it? We'll talk about socials,
security bonds and four A one k's and how the
impact is on them for a one case apparently tied
to the stock market more than ever before. Is that
a good thing? And finally not a good thing? Americans
get a grade letter D when it comes to saving
for retirement plus patty from Hart for Seniors returns of

(01:41:12):
the program at eight forty been hearing the commercials being
run an outstanding nonprofit organization providing some wonderful support for
those out there that are caring for seniors, seniors in
uh in long term care facilities, or who are receiving
care in their homes. Lots of issues being in that position.

Speaker 2 (01:41:32):
From place a little less haunting than join us at
fifty five KRC dot.

Speaker 1 (01:41:36):
Comtick around Money Monday's next Today Monday. It is that
time every Monday. This time we need to talk with
Brian James from all Worth Financial East Financial Planner. He
knows about Monday Money so that's why we call this
money Monday with Brian James. Welcome back, Brian. I hope
you had a good weekend.

Speaker 7 (01:41:52):
Good morning, happy fall and cold weather to you. Brian Thomlinson.

Speaker 1 (01:41:56):
Hey, look, the federal grument still shut down. Brian like that.

Speaker 7 (01:41:59):
I think they they figured out that the weather was
not going to be warm today, so we're just not
going to get out of bed.

Speaker 1 (01:42:04):
Yeah. Well, they got no kings out of their system
over the weekend. Not quite sure what that was all
about or what they hope to accomplish, but the government
is still shut down. I think one of the reasons
it was still shut down is because they knew that
event was coming. I want to show how angry and
upset American people are, generally speaking, it was top of
the article or a news report about all the different
reasons people might have shown up, and they're disparate and
diverse reasons for showing up. But the government still remains

(01:42:27):
shut down and there doesn't seem to be any end
in sight, I think, at least from a political standpoint.
It's been noted in the Wall Street Channel reported on
this about running out of time to figure out how
to solve this problem. If they have enough time. So
many people got on Obamacare when the premiums were waived
and was considered free, and a lot of Republicans in

(01:42:49):
Republican states also. They also suggest that there's polling out
there showing strong support for continuing these so called enhanced subsidies,
notwithstanding the fact that it's going to set us into
the even what three hundred and fifty plus billion dollars
over the next ten years these were set to expire. Brian,
I don't understand what the problem is. The Democrats wrote
in the original language, the subsidies are the cap on

(01:43:14):
premiums was waved because of COVID nineteen and they put
an end date that's this year. This had to come
at some point, Brian, so I don't understand. It doesn't
make any sense to me to continue to keep the
government shut down.

Speaker 7 (01:43:28):
Yeah, I think that's where we are. We set up
a program that was very popular and made it easy
to be a part of it, and didn't really set
up the funding mechanism, but we did that. We did
have the funding mechanism set up, but that was the
first thing that the Republicans were able to unwind years ago.
But they were not able to unwind the program itself.
So we have the expense without the ability to cover

(01:43:49):
that expense the way it was originally designed.

Speaker 1 (01:43:52):
So yeah, the thing that they got rid of was, well,
the Supreme Court said you can't force someone to buy
something they don't want to buy. So the whole funding mechanism,
which is every American must buy a health insurance policy,
welcome to Obamacare in the market plans that was supposed
to support all of the pre existing people that we're
going to jump on and obviously create a tremendous claims demand.

(01:44:14):
You know, actuarily, it was a nightmare as the outset.
But once you were once you were legally told that
you can't use the commerce clause to force someone to
do something, then all the people that weren't forced to
buy it didn't buy it, So the rest were a
bunch of people with high claims exposure. That's a rescue disaster.

Speaker 7 (01:44:30):
We go and said, there's a fancy insurance word called
adverse selection, which basically means if you make it this
easy for everybody to get but it's not required, then
essentially what you're going to get is the people who
need the insurance most and are the most expensive risks, right,
And you're not going to get the funding from the
people who would have just been writing the checks but
otherwise would be healthy and not funding the system. So ironically,

(01:44:50):
like you said, we can't force anybody to buy something
they don't want to buy, but we can force the
government to buy a lot of stuff that it doesn't
want to buy.

Speaker 1 (01:44:56):
We didn't really talk about that, No, we didn't. All right,
there's the genesis behind the shutdown. We are, regardless of
the reasons why, still in a shutdown. The question is
is it impacting the American people generally speaking? So in
my experience in my circles, no, because I'm not friends
with or acquainted with or close to anybody at least

(01:45:17):
that's working for the federal government, although I do have
a niece that's currently unemployed in Washington, DC, so there's one.
But is this a large and looming problem? And I
suppose ultimately it is going to impact services that more
and more people do rely on. So where is this
taking us?

Speaker 7 (01:45:33):
Brian James, Well, it's already is impacting services that people
rely on, as evidence by the fact that Washington is
actually recalling staff just to print the CPI number because
that's how many dominoes came out of this one report.
So social Security, cost of living adjustments, inflation link bond,
next year's four to one K caps are all things
that are impacted by inflation, and somebody has to make

(01:45:55):
these decisions. So yeah, they actually are bringing people back
off of fur to make these decisions so that we
can move forward. I don't know that maybe maybe we
didn't think this one was going to last very long.
We're on day thirty that by the end of this
week we will be I believe this will be the
longest shutdown in history. If I recall correctly, I think
it was thirty four days. So end of Friday we

(01:46:17):
will be looking at the longest shutdown since that They're
not even in the same room. I feel pretty confident
we're going to break that record.

Speaker 1 (01:46:23):
So the further workers that do the Consumer Price Index
are being brought back, so I guess they're essential and
critical to the extent they need to be there to
figure out so security checks, bonds and four one K issues.

Speaker 7 (01:46:34):
Yeah, that's exactly right. I mean, there are some things
we just cannot get away with just not doing so
in some of those things are the Bureau Labor Statistics
is going to publish the September CPI eight thirty am
on Thursday, the twenty fourth, that's this Thursday, doing that anyway,
despite the shutdown. That's why they recalled the staff. No
other reports though until the service is resumed back to normal,
So that's going to keep statutory deadlines for programs that

(01:46:56):
depend on CPI. In other words, we have things codified
in the law that say we have to do this. Yeah,
so there really is no choice except to bring these
people back. So that does mean the FED and the
markets overall are kind of flying a flying blind, flying
by wire, if you will, during this shutdown. That raises
policy uncertainty heading it and there's a FED meeting October
twenty eighth and twenty ninth, Well, they're going to be

(01:47:17):
struggling a little bit to get the complete picture. And
of course Social Security COLA timing as mentioned, that is
supposed to be October twenty fourth, that'll come quickly after CPI.
That's the plan right now. We'll see how this works out.

Speaker 1 (01:47:28):
Which I'm guessing has the effect of taking some of
the sting out of the government being shut downs. If
those you know, like for example, the coal of the
cost of living adjustment for Social Security, if our seniors
get that, then they're not going to be feeling the
sting of the government shutdown, right.

Speaker 7 (01:47:44):
And would I would assume that the depending on the
side of the aisle you're on, as always, actually probably
both sides are hoping for this, that people would feel
some pain, so they would push for resolution one way
or another. Well, this is a reason for a large
chunk of the population to go, eh, this doesn't affect.

Speaker 1 (01:47:59):
Me right, Well, in that pain, I suppose going back
to the issue that's really keeping the government shut down,
these supplements for Obamacare. Twenty million or so folks getting
that right now, I mean.

Speaker 7 (01:48:10):
That's the big, big number, absolutely for sure, and so
so we're hung up on these these the subsidies out there,
and because there are a normal enormous amount of people
who are going to go without health insurance under the
current path, and I would find it hard to believe
that there aren't some people that, no matter what happens,
aren't going to lose it, because this is going to
have to come down to some kind of begrudging compromise,

(01:48:31):
which means some people are going to sacrifice the health insurance.
Those people are going to get very loud, very soon,
and I suspect many of them were out marching over
this past weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:48:39):
Well, it's kind of funny in a certain way. If
it's four hundred percent of poverty level, which is the
cap that's going to go back into effect, this fault
the people who are getting supplements that make more than that.
Basically they're probably paying federal income tax.

Speaker 7 (01:48:53):
You would think so, right, So they've got enough income
coming in it's the issue.

Speaker 1 (01:48:57):
Yeah, And so ultimately they're getting a ten xpair supported
supplement to make it look like they don't have a premium,
but they're ultimately paying the costs of that because they
pay federal income tax. Because all of this is coming
out of the federal income tax revenue.

Speaker 7 (01:49:10):
Yeah, that's that's about right. So that's why we're are
doing so much about it. It's going to move the
needle for a lot of folks, for sure, and both
sides are going to use that to their advantage.

Speaker 1 (01:49:19):
All right, So I understand the col and so security
with the CPI, I guess I get the bond component.
But what of the four how does this impact the
CPI index? How does it impact four one K?

Speaker 7 (01:49:28):
Yeah, so four oh one K and I and IRA
limits too. So the IRS uses Q three CPI in
their fall announcements to decide what the four oh one
K limits are going to be. Now, I can't say
this is going to Nobody is protesting because they can't
put enough into their four oh one ks. And I
think that's a pretty tiny swath of the population. But
so so, the the early actuarial calls are looking at

(01:49:48):
a deferral amount of twenty four five hundred for twenty
six Now that would be up one thousand dollars. That's
the amount that everybody under the sun can put in.
If you're fifty plus, you could put in another eight
thousand dollars. So that would total thirty two and a
half for those over fifty. And then don't forget the
Secure Act two point zero put a super catchup in

(01:50:09):
for those age sixty to sixty three, and that would
likely if you're in that window, you're likely around thirty five,
seven hundred and fifty. So again those numbers are going
to depend on September CPI. I don't imagine there's gonna
be a whole lot of protesting over that particular.

Speaker 1 (01:50:24):
No, no, And I suppose you're an mbuable position if
you can afford to do that super contribution right basically
hand over thirty four thousand dollars right exactly.

Speaker 7 (01:50:33):
And that's the the concessions that we're given. We for
a long time have been making decisions to allow people
to make it more attractive for people to fund their
own retirements. And that's what this is all about. That
this goes back to when I first started in the
in for a bank in the late nineties. The big
hue and cry was that they were eliminating the original

(01:50:53):
pension that had cost the head inflation and all that
stuff built into it, and I didn't know what it meant.
I was young, I was twenty three and stupid. Now
I kind of get it, but the whole point of
that frustration was that was just a well, we're going
to take the pension away, but we're going to make
it better for you. We're going to increase the match
on the four oh one k and all those kinds
of things to make it more attractive for you to
fund your own retirement as opposed to relying on your

(01:51:14):
employer or the government. That works great as long as
people have the money to do it and know how
and understand how important it is, and that keeps me employed.

Speaker 1 (01:51:22):
Well, and maybe we're not doing so well. We'll probably
go out of order and just use this opportunity as
a segue to the report card Americans get when it
comes to saving for retirement, another topic we'll talk about
with Brian James coming up. Four to one k's are
directly tied to the stock market more than ever or
is that your financial planner's problem is at the right
place to be. We'll continue with Brian James Money Monday.
It's eight sixteen right now, if it's five KC the

(01:51:43):
talk station speaking of money matters for her and see
the talk station Hey twenty on a Monday We're doing
Money Monday with Brian James from all Worth Financial. All right, uh, Brian,
I said, I want to take a little bit out
of order since you mentioned about financial are about preparing
for retirement, and we have the CPI that's coming out important,

(01:52:05):
I guess, necessary government work. So no worries about your
coal adjustment for Social Security, But what of our own grade,
the report card grade when it comes to Americans preparing
for retirement, generally speaking, it does not look good.

Speaker 7 (01:52:18):
Brian, Well, yeah, and a lot of this is because
it's just hard to do this with prices being where
they are, There's only so much money left over. And
we've made the as I was saying a little bit
a little bit ago as a country, as a society,
we've made a pivot toward pull yourself up by your
own bootstraps. So you need to save your own money.
But if people don't have the ability to have a
little surplus at the end of every month, and there's

(01:52:40):
not much that's going to be able to go in.
But so investors are and savers are banking up for
that by being really really aggressive in their four oh
one case. So this is a study coming from Vanguard
and Morning Star coming through the Wall Street Journal. So,
workers in their late thirties now hold about eighty eight
percent of their four oh one K assets in stocks
or a stock fun equivalents, and that's up from about

(01:53:01):
eighty two percent a decade ago. That makes logical sense
to me. I'm not concerned about that. I don't think
you can be too aggressive if you're in your late
thirties when you're talking about a four oh one K.
And what we're really talking about here, Brian, is these
people who have eighty eight percent of their four to
one K assets and they're in their late thirties, that
means they got twelve percent on the bond side, on
the fixed income side, There's only so much you can

(01:53:22):
do with a four oh one CA. Soough there aren't
exotic holdings out there, I personally believe if you're in
your thirties, you shouldn't have any bonds. What point, what
difference does it make? You're looking at a thirty plus
year timeframe to touch these assets, and if you're handling
things the right way, then you shouldn't be panicking when
the market wobbles anyway. So, frankly, I think if you're
in your thirties, be one hundred percent stocks. I'm fifty one, Brian,

(01:53:43):
and I myself am one hundred percent stocks. I don't care.
The market's going to kick me around two or three
more times before I actually retire in the next ten
to fifteen years, and I'm not going to panic because
I know how the market works and know my market history.
So I think people are simply looking at what do
I need to do to make this ship float for
me because they don't have a pension anymore. If I'm
in my late thirties, then social Security. The best way
to plan for that is probably that it's going to

(01:54:04):
be reduced by about twenty five to thirty percent, because
that's unless we actually fix that funding mechanism and tax
people more somehow. So if I have to grow my
own assets, I may as well do it the best
way possible, and that is stocks, not bond. So I'm
not concerned about that particular point.

Speaker 1 (01:54:19):
Okay, Now when it comes to the folks that are
looking at a very small amount left over after the
necessary bills are concerned, is there a recommendation you can
give to those folks in order to at least start
the process. I mean if you have just a little bit,
it's better than doing nothing in further in so of
your retirement. I mean, I fortunately was really not placed

(01:54:40):
in that position too much, most notably because I married
out of my element. Both of us had a salary
that we could afford to put there collectively some portion
of our total pile of money toward retirement. So not
everybody has the benefit of that.

Speaker 7 (01:54:52):
Yeah, that's absolutely true, and those are the people. Unfortunately,
they're going to be struggling because our our retirement system
we have chosen as a society by the leaders we've
put in office. We have chosen to build it all
based off of the success of publicly traded companies. That's
and investors are simply reacting to what is put in
front of them. There just isn't much else out there
that you can do when when prices are rising as

(01:55:13):
fast as they are, when it's as expensive to live
as it currently is, you just need something that's going
to keep up with it, and stock market is just
about the only thing out there to do that and
go ahead.

Speaker 1 (01:55:24):
I was just going to say, wasn't it designed for
that purpose? To boast in bolster capitalism and hopefully to
encourage investment in American companies because we started this process.
You know, the best place to invest in the world
in terms of return on investment is going to be
American companies.

Speaker 7 (01:55:40):
Yeah, and it still is and will be for a
long time to come because just because of what we
have spent hundreds of years building. But what that does,
that's what this is why I always refer to us
as the we're the United States of profit margin. That
means every decision that we make, it has an eye
toward making sure that our publicly traded companies that feel
like they can make a profit to keep them here
because there's nothing stopping a company. And this could happen

(01:56:03):
right for for those who are worried about you know,
the United States is going to need to tax itself
to death and so forth. So I don't want to
be in the US stock market, Well why wouldn't you?
Because there's no entity more able to pick up and
move than the richest ones on the face of the earth.
So if our tax policies become such that it's unattractive
to do business here, then they simply won't. They'll pick
up and move to another company keep or to another country,

(01:56:23):
keep selling the same products and services that they do
in a more taxable or a more tax efficient manner.
So I would still say the US stock market is
the safest growth oriented type of market to be in
because of that flexibility, those companies won't they don't have
to stay US. And I'm not saying this is going
to happen anytime soon. I'm just saying that I don't
think they're sweating it too much that they'd be painted
into a corner and simply have to pay more taxes

(01:56:44):
without some kind of a reaction.

Speaker 1 (01:56:45):
All right, Brian James, I'll hold you over for one
more segment, and I want to address something else that
I know people can invest in relative comparative or compared
to the stock market, but I'm scratching my head over
whether or not people might already be invested in it.
Stick around more with Brian James from Allworth Finanti. Well,
it's eight twenty five right now, fifty five KR CD
talk station, fifty five station he twenty nine, fifty five

(01:57:06):
care CD talk station. Brian Thomas and Brian James, Money Monday.
Getting that one more segment in Brian James, we don't
talk about very often and I think when we have
talked about it as an investment vehicle, I think you've
kind of and I don't want to put words in
the mouth. That's what you're there for to correct me
if I'm wrong, But considering it probably not a good idea,
but one of the things I'm looking at. Since January
at twenty twenty three, the price of gold has gone

(01:57:30):
through the roof. I mean, it was trading at eighteen
hundred dollars in January twenty three and it's at right
now forty three hundred dollars an ounce. So people who've
been in that investment for the last couple of years
have obviously seen a pretty significant return, at least in
so far as a component of a four oh one
K or retirement investment vehicle. Is that something you can
you should consider. I mean, the idea of sitting on

(01:57:52):
physical gold always looked stupid to me because you can't
eat it. In a bad situation, the fiat currency goes
belly up. It may be worth something, but you can't
eat it. You can't slice off a piece of it
to buy something. I wouldn't accept it as payment for anything.
I'd be looking for food and ammunition and whatever else,
hell else it is, I'd find myself needed in a
desperate situation. But in terms of an investment vehicle, Brian,

(01:58:15):
where are you on gold and why has it gone
up so much?

Speaker 7 (01:58:18):
Well, gold gold, yeah, is gaining a lot of attention.
As you mentioned, it's over four thousand bucks per troy
ounce for the first time, and this is about the
strongest year since the late seventies. Because of that rise,
and of course there are other there are new ways
to get a hold of it as well, so that's
driving demand. It used to be you can only buy
gold bullion and stick it in the safe for the
safety deposit bus forever, but now you can use exchange

(01:58:40):
traded funds. Gold backed exchange traded funds saw their largest
semi annual inflow in several years this year. Of course,
not too surprised to hear that. With everything, so the
reason this is happening is all of of course, when
gold runs whenever, there's instability in the wind. So geopolitical
macroeconomic uncertainty. These are the weakening dollar, inflation concerns, central
bank diverse fy cation, and just sort of the general

(01:59:03):
chaos that our current government is in for a lot
of reasons. So gold can be appealing as a hedge
or kind of a safe haven when when interest rates
are low, when confidence and major currencies kind of falls
apart a little bit. But but to your point, it's
not an entity. It's not a vehicle that you can use.
You can't expect it to come out with a new product.

(01:59:23):
It's not going to generate dividends, it's not going to
find a new market. It's simply something. It's a commodity.
It's it's worth what people think it's worth. So those
are the most dangerous kinds of investments to invest in
after the run has happened, meaning that since it's only
worth what people think it's worth, the herd is eventually
gonna peter out. There's going to be fewer people rushing

(01:59:43):
into it.

Speaker 1 (01:59:44):
Well, let me ask you this. There is I mean
ignoring the demand for jewelry, gold and jewelry whatever. That's
that's a luxury item that people can do with that.
I guess what do we know what like some idea
of what the global demand is for industrial use in
other words, this stuff that we really need to use
gold for. If we knew that number, we could kind
of separate the week from the chaff and remove some

(02:00:05):
of that flexibility out in there.

Speaker 7 (02:00:07):
Yeah, and it is, of course used. When we talk
about it, we're usually talking about the herd stampeding into
it because of the general uncertainty that's out there, right, So,
but to give give some numbers, So in twenty twenty four,
for example, in jewelry, technology and other industrial that there's
a lot. It's used a lot in dentistry and non

(02:00:28):
electronic types of things exactly. Yeah, so there's plenty of
uses out there, but that was only seven percent of
total demand in twenty twenty four. Oh really, yeah, back
those types of electronics and that kind of thing. The
demand largely comes from people kind of wanting to hoard it.
That's there's not as much gold as you might think
out there too.

Speaker 1 (02:00:45):
Well, And that's the thing that always bother me about
it as an investmentry, because it is volatile in the
sense that there are the gold bugs out there who
do believe the fiat currency is going to collapse. It's
like bitcoin, though it's always expressed in fiat currency value.

Speaker 7 (02:01:01):
That's right, And that's one of the reasons if you're
buying gold, you're kind of resistant to fiat currency in general,
you're wanting to go back to, you know, something that
had some kind of standard besides a general agreement of
what something is worth. But ironically that's the same thing
that gold is. That's what a commodity is. Everybody agrees
it's worth this particular amount, and that causes price wings
that will trigger runs in that same asset as well

(02:01:23):
as you know, runs in and runs out. And so
that would probably be the next step is when does
the herd decide that this this demand cycle is over
for it and goes the other way.

Speaker 1 (02:01:31):
Well, and it's one of a seemingly unlimited multitude of
items that are used, you know, every single day in
manufacturing or otherwise, like platinum and you know, rare earth
minerals are obviously in high demand now. So there's a
whole bunch of things that could sort of you could
you could choose other than gold is something to invest in,
right if you're just paying attention to where the demand.

Speaker 7 (02:01:51):
Is, right. Negilzig said that the gold is not used
in that many industrial type uses such as some of
the other things like that all the devices of the
stuff that goes into cell phones that we always argue
about right, gold is just not a thing. Copper, on
the other hand, copper is everywhere. Copper is an indicator
of economic feast or famine based on how much copper

(02:02:11):
we're consuming. That usually drives the economy. But gold doesn't
show up anywhere except for in the overall investor sentiment.

Speaker 1 (02:02:17):
And going back to my let's say my financial planner,
a good you know, fee based financial planner that does
a fuiary obligation to you. Are they including typically one
of these mixed mutual funds that you mentioned that it
contains some of these industrial needed always in demand gold, platinum,
and other minerals and items. Are am I invested in

(02:02:39):
that for example?

Speaker 7 (02:02:40):
Yeah, probably a small percentage, but it's not going to
be gold, because again, gold is just it's just functioning
like a commodity. But for those other types of things,
and there's lots of ways to do it. You don't
have to invest strictly in that asset, and you might
invest in a in a miner of whatever that asset is,
some company that produces it, pulls it out of the ground,
and processes it, makes it ready for industry. That's different
then simply buying gold bullion and sticking it in a

(02:03:02):
box somewhere and declaring what it's worth on a daily basis.

Speaker 1 (02:03:05):
All right, well, I'm glad I asked you the question.
Brian James. Always appreciate you coming on the show, and
you want to say good morning to your group of
secret female Money Monday fans.

Speaker 7 (02:03:14):
Hello ladies. I hope you enjoyed our special edition last
week of tanje of questions from the audience. That kind
of came out of the blue, but that was fun
to do and I hope you found that useful.

Speaker 1 (02:03:24):
Thanks versus Federal credit unions. Go ahead and check out
the podcast from last week's discussion with Brian James. We'll
get another one next Monday. Buddy Monday, Brian James, thanks
for what you do. Appreciate all worth learning you out.
We will have another discussion again on Monday. Have a
great week.

Speaker 7 (02:03:35):
Thanks for the microphone. Talk to you next week.

Speaker 1 (02:03:37):
Looking forward to it's eight thirty five right now. I'm
always looking forward to talking about a thirty eight here
fifty five k CD talk station. A very very happy
Monday to you. I was so pleased when I came
into the morning show find out that Patty Scott from
Heart for Seniors is going to be on the show
this morning to talk about that wonderful organization's a five
point one three CE nonprofit helping seniors deal with, of course,

(02:03:58):
senior issues, a lot of difficult these they face, and
they have some amazing, amazing technology and I recommend everybody
go to Heart the number four Seniors dot org if
you have a senior in your world or someone else
who's disabled and you're caring for them. Lots of iss Patty,
welcome back to the morning show. Appreciate having you on
and thank you so much for becoming the most recent

(02:04:18):
Fafty five Caresy Morning Show sponsor. I'm so pleased to
spread the news about your wonderful organization.

Speaker 14 (02:04:25):
Well, we love you, Brian, and we appreciate you, and
more importantly, we know you care a.

Speaker 1 (02:04:30):
Lot about Every time I talk to you, Patty, I
think of my father. I mean, how could I not
you know, I know he was in the same position
that so many folks that you've helped out were in,
notably and it's difficult for me to, you know, acknowledge
that my father had to deal with incontinence issues. But
when you are a severely disabled Alzheimer's person. That is

(02:04:52):
a common, common, almost ubiquitous thing you're going to face,
and so you struggle with that. And he was taken
care of so well my mom, I mean she was
there all the time to make sure that he was
dealt with. But move down to the next room and
find out what's going on there. You find out someone
has been wallowing in their own filth now for four hours.

Speaker 14 (02:05:11):
Yeah, it's just they're part of the issue we're dealing
with right now is spapping issues. You know, in long
term care facilities, they don't really have the technology or
the resources unless they have the biling system, which is
something that we of course sponsor and provide. But technology

(02:05:31):
for seniors is just it's so incredibly important. I mean,
there are just a few major factors. Number one, the incontinence.
You know, why is it that it's right for somebody
to sit in there, urin in their feces for even
over an hour, much less eight to twelve hours.

Speaker 1 (02:05:48):
Oh I can Number one, I can't let that pass
without energetic in a dose of levity and disdain for
those people who diaper up and head on over to
the casino and wallow in their own filth voluntarily because
they don't want to leave the slow machine. Sorry, had
to say it, Patty, you can go on and take
back over the conversation.

Speaker 14 (02:06:05):
Oh wow, okay, well they do that that I.

Speaker 8 (02:06:10):
Did not know that.

Speaker 1 (02:06:11):
Yeah, well welcome to knowledge.

Speaker 14 (02:06:13):
Yeah. But secondly, you know, as you get older, there's
so many things that occur with regards to the pull sox.
You know, my dad last December, his pull sox started
dropping below ninety and then he would pass out, and
then he would fall and then that would you know,
create so many other issues. And so we actually have
this reswearable that is the only five to ten k

(02:06:36):
FDA approved reswearable in the United States, even the Apple
Watch and the other the Whoop and all the ones
that are out there because I've had them, I've tried them.
They don't go below ninety. Like they don't detect seniors.
Seniors are different, Like my dad can't even get a
pull sox on his finger, you know, the only thing
he can capture is the wrist and the ear. So

(02:06:58):
it's very important that this technology is built for seniors,
not for like professional athletes or people like you or
me or anything like that. It's got to read appropriately
and most recently on the last show that we did, Brian,
we didn't realize this was such an issue. You know,
I mentioned about the skin tears that my dad and

(02:07:18):
the technology that we have with regards to our bandages
and the silicon composite dressings, and I mean there's not
any other dressing in the country. It's number one woundcare
and orthopedics. Surgeons all over the country use them. They're
actually made by a local company out of Monroe, So
again another Ohio based company. And when I mentioned it's

(02:07:41):
the only technology that we partner with at Hartford Seniors,
it's the only company that came forward and said, hey,
we have a product that we want to be able
to give you all, to be able to get to seniors.
I've used them on my dad. I mean even just
this weekend we were at a family wedding and he
bumps into a golf cart getting on it to write
it and his entire shin is bleeding everywhere because that's

(02:08:05):
what happened.

Speaker 1 (02:08:06):
Skin.

Speaker 14 (02:08:07):
Yeah, tissue paper skin. So since your last since the
last meeting we were on, we actually have had so
many seniors. God Loves Charlene and her husband in over
and Earlinger, Kentucky who listen to you faithfully. Her and
her husband have immaculate degeneration and they can't get out,

(02:08:28):
so we ship them. Some Debbie called about her dad
who is in the keys. The paper skin senior issue
is tragic, and we got boxes out to everybody and
they are calling and they are beyond grateful that one
doesn't care their skin. It's not causing any other issues.

(02:08:50):
So those are actually up on our website now I
see now, yes, different sizes. If somebody he's a bleeder,
we have super absorbent. And then the other thing in
the nursing home is if somebody's bedridden and they're just
sitting and they're not getting up to walk or anything,

(02:09:12):
that sacral bone in that back you know area, they're
going to get a bed sore. So it's there now.
If a loved one that wants to go visit them,
can buy them and take them and put them on.
But the most exciting piece of this, Brian, is we
can actually go into homes now. So if somebody is
caring for their family at home versus the nursing home,

(02:09:35):
please contact us because we want to help you. We
want to get the technology set up in your home.
We want to get the skincare products to your home
and really help make your life so much better.

Speaker 1 (02:09:46):
And to do that it's hard. Number four Seniors dot
Org right there, Click on the product link and you'll
see all the available skin tear silicone bandages. And you know,
I was thinking, and I don't want to suggest something
out of school here, but you talk about you know
you're going to get a bedstore. You are disabled, you're
not getting up and moving around. Do you think you
could place one of these larger bandages sort of as
a preventative for that, on the backside of a patient,

(02:10:09):
just asking we do.

Speaker 14 (02:10:11):
No, I actually have one of my mom and dad
because even though they are they live at home, they
are active, They sit more than any mus two, right,
So we actually do have one on them just because
it's tender skin. It breaks down. It's right at that
tailbone and anything will just break that.

Speaker 8 (02:10:30):
Well.

Speaker 1 (02:10:31):
I'm sure there's a lot of folks in the listening
audience right now going, oh yeah, absolutely. The last time
I used a band aid, for example, when I pulled
the band aid off, I got a whole bunch of
skin along with the pad that was covering the wound.
Yet you don't have to go down that road. Heart
number four Seniors dot org. Check it out and get
all the skin tear silicon bandages that you need. We'll
continue with Patty from Heart for Seniors. Let's pause for

(02:10:53):
a moment. We'll talk about some additional technology they have
after these brief words. Fifty five KRC can you hear
them facial A forty eight if you have carc de
talk station June in tomorrow for the bright bart Inside
Scoop and the Daniel Davis Deep Dive. Fifty five care
sea dot com if you get a chance to listen
to Christopher Smithman and the Monday Monday and in the meantime,

(02:11:14):
there's more information at fifty five care sea dot com
along with the link that I know Joe will add
to Heart Number four Seniors dot Org. Go directly to
it right now, click on the link. Later in today,
Patty Scott's on the phone from Hartford Seniors. Is so
impressed with the work that they're doing and just amazed
by this technology. Patty, and I wanted you an opportunity,
and also I have to put you on the spot

(02:11:34):
because I am looking at all the different wound care
treatments you have over on the website. But the incontinence
care system and the wellness Screening watch that you alluded
to earlier, they're presently not available or is there a
way for folks to get those? And as we yet
approach the incontinent care system go ahead.

Speaker 11 (02:11:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (02:11:52):
The reason why we put on there we want people
to call us. It is available, but it's not something
that you can just purchase and just know how to
use it. We want to, you know, actually come to
your home. Help you make sure that your parent or
loved one or someone that's disabled. So we want you
to make the phone call. It is available. We can

(02:12:13):
make sure that we get it to you. I'm actually
wearing one of the watches now. I wear it around
twenty four to seven because I want people to see it.
I want them to ask about it. You know, I
was in Target the other day and I overheard a
conversation and I walked right up to someone and said,
I think this can to help you because they were
stressing over their mother being on oxygen coming home from

(02:12:36):
a facility. You know, my dad a year ago in December, Brian,
if you remember, was on oxygen because of pneumonia he
had caught and we were able to use this watch
wearable to get him off of oxygen. I'm happy to
say he has beneficially off his oxygen now. He has
congested part failure and he also had COPD and we

(02:13:00):
were able to get him off his oxygen. He's been
off a month now, and let me tell you why.
Because for him, it was about distance. You know, he
had no clue after he'd walk a certain period of
time that his pull sox would drop oh and then
he would fall right. And so what this has done
is it allows it is it alerts the cell phone,

(02:13:21):
It alerts him, It alerts me, It alerts my son,
it alerts to my daughter. Because I've set up like
a whole army around him on the phone and we're
able to actually call and say bad or you okay,
and he's like, oh yeah, I'm fine. But he's realized, now, okay,
maybe he can only go one hundred and twenty five
feet before he needs to sit down and regain his breath.

(02:13:42):
But you talk about quality of life, my dad, I mean,
he always said he felt like a hog tied to
a tree with the oxygen concentrator all over his house
tangled up, and it was just at eighty eight years old,
you work so hard. My mom would always say, the
only thing about golden years is my urine. And you know,

(02:14:05):
it's just it's dignity. You know, it's dignity.

Speaker 1 (02:14:09):
It certainly is. So the watch itself is monitoring the
oxygen level in your dad. You have it set up, sure,
oh go ahead, yeah, what else?

Speaker 14 (02:14:18):
It also it does temperature. So, for example, a couple
of weeks ago, I got an alert that is templing up,
and I was like, what's going on with that? And
we caught a UTI before it became really really bad.
Oh didn't realize, but it was most people going to realize.
Temperatures can spike pretty quickly. So and you know, if

(02:14:42):
you're not there, and you know, if you're like my parents,
they act like they're superwoman and Superman and they just
don't you know, they might feel bad, but they don't
really take their temperature anymore. Sure you know what I'm saying.
So it does temperature, it does heart rate, it does
pulse socks. It's soon to do. We're in the process
of testing a real true F five ten K blood pressure,

(02:15:07):
which that's a whole other animal in itself. The one
we am now does not, but we're testing it and
the current new watch that we have will eventually be
able to do that. But right now, heart rate, temperature
pul sox to a t. It's amazing.

Speaker 1 (02:15:21):
Right to whoever's phone you want to set up to
join up, and that's what harts.

Speaker 14 (02:15:24):
For scond I can set people up to have your
phone ring on my mom and dad.

Speaker 1 (02:15:30):
Great, that's funny. So and you're there to help. That's
why it says it's not available to just call the number.
It's right there in the little call the number.

Speaker 8 (02:15:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:15:38):
Now, the same thing goes with the incontinence care system,
which is how you and I were first met, blown
away by this amazing technology. It was one hundred bucks,
and then you will know exactly when there has been
an accident. The diaper reflects the moisture or whatever else.
Reading it alerts you the same way the watch alurts you.
And that's what's so great about it being in long
term care facilities and dementia care facilities because the staffing issues.

(02:16:01):
It goes back to that a handful of staff can't
cover one hundred rooms in a building. They're just doing
it on a schedule. They're going into that room every
four hours or whatever it says. But you know what,
they walk out of that room and that's when mom
or dad soils themselves, leading them to wallow in it
for the next four hours until they get back on
the schedule. No in content's care system, alarm goes off.
D lars the nurse. We got an issue in room fifteen.

(02:16:23):
Get over there right now. Done. Problem solved one hundred percent.

Speaker 14 (02:16:26):
And so that just to reiterate, it does doom moisture.
It also tracks if someone has not urinated, so we
can determine if there's potentially the hydration issue because if
let's think about it, if somebody hasn't urinated in six hours,
that might need to indicate you might need to push
some fluids because there could be a dehydration issue. A

(02:16:47):
lot of seniors don't drink. They just it's just not
a part of their it's you know, they just it's
an effort. You know. Alsovm it records VMS, so if
someone hasn't had to be again, that could constitute potentially,
you know, a f ecal impaction potentially. But again we're
not there to diagnose. We're just there to get a

(02:17:09):
professional there.

Speaker 8 (02:17:10):
To diagnose it.

Speaker 14 (02:17:12):
And this is just alert response technology. It also does temperature,
so the brief system does temperature as well. Again, spiking
a fever immediately could be pneumonia, It could be all
kinds of different things that you just don't know because
you're not there, and the sooner you can get that
detected and get somebody on an antibiotic. I mean, pneumonia

(02:17:34):
especially could make a difference of a hospital visit literally
if you can catch it in time. And then turning
and positioning. You know our attorney Barbara Applegate who set
up our nonprofit, who was so passionate, were so grateful
to her for that. At cors Bassett, you know, her
mom died in a nursing home because she'd had hip

(02:17:55):
surgery and they left her on her left side where
she'd had hip surgery and she had a stage for
wound and it went to the bone and it killed her.
So turning and positioning, so if someone has a wound
on their back or their side or someplace and they're
not to be there, you can set the system to
alert that if they roll on to that side. Everybody

(02:18:16):
has a favorite side. If you roll on to the side,
it'll alert so they can roll them back over.

Speaker 1 (02:18:22):
Amazing. You got it all and you can keep getting
better every single time. I mean you're working on it constantly,
always improving. But it's available for my listeners, it's available
for everyone. If you're in a hospital facility, our nursing facility,
get in touch with Heart for seniors. If you're home,
you're caring for someone that's dealing with these issues, you're
going to know real time, right away, all these very
important things to get out in front of the problems

(02:18:43):
before they end up well maybe killing your loved one.
Heart Number four Seniors dot Org, Patty. God bless you
and everyone involved in the organization for what you're doing
to help us all out here well help our loved ones.
God bless you well.

Speaker 8 (02:18:55):
Brian.

Speaker 14 (02:18:56):
We appreciate you. We appreciate your listener so much. Importantly,
we appreciate the businesses listen. We welcome any local business
that wants us to come by and show them the
technology and dimmo it because let me tell you, their
employees are sandwich generations. The majority of them are not
just raising their children, but they're literally taking care of

(02:19:17):
their parents as well. And you know what, if you
have this technology at least gives you peace of mind
at work, they're not taking off as much and it
really we'd be more than happy if you have companies
out there that care for seniors all love.

Speaker 1 (02:19:35):
To come by, let them do it, help them, help time,
help them, help you. Pattie out of time, Heartforseniors dot Org.
God love you. We'll have you back on real soon,
and keep up the great work. It's coming up. In
eight fifty seven, fifty five cares of the talk station,
excuse me,
