55KRC Monday Show - Smitherman, Money Monday, Betsy Sundermann

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Five o four.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
At thirty five k r C The Dog Station, Happy Monday.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yeah, well you gotta cut that off. Tony Bender, the
Big Dog, covering for Joe Strecker, took ill this morning,
and uh prayers for Joe Strecker this morning. I'm not
quite sure what's going on, but I sure hope he
uh gets a speedy recovery and a happy Monday too.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
You.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Notwithstanding, I was kind of excited to have Tony Bender
covering for him. It's been a long time the big
dog's little rusty behind the board. How many years has
it been, Tony Bender since you've been behind the board.
I know you're always behind the board, just not producing
the fifty five KRC Morning Show. I think you got
to go back to my dad's era when uh Tony
the Big Dog Bender was doing that every day. So

(01:02):
it's good to have you there, Tonya. I feel like
I'm in good hands, even though I'm never quite as
comfortable when Joe Strecker is not here. So please hope
Joe is okay. Coming up in the fifty five Carency
Morning Show. Of course it's Monday. Christopher Smitheman, former Vice mayor.
Of course, he's a candidate for since a city council.
Early voting's going on and the election is the week
from tomorrow, fast approaching. Oh, look, an op ed piece

(01:28):
VI or an opinion piece by contributor after have purvall
right and into the Inquirer talking about everything he's done.
We'll get to that in a little bit. I found
the article to be rather empty in terms of overall accomplishments.
Lots of words, but when you look at the city
of Cincinnati where we are versus four years ago, I
don't think he's really delivered. The administration hasn't delivered. Time

(01:49):
for a change, that's my perspective. And you've got an
opportunity for a change. Quit doing the same thing over
and over and over again expecting a different result. Coming
up in the Morning Show after Christopher smith'man at seven
twenty of one day, We've got money Monday with Brian James. Shutdown.
How it's affecting well, literally everything. We'll also talking about
gasoline prices. US airports have been hit with some delays
because of staff and issues that brought about by the

(02:11):
government shutdown. Of course, the air traffic controllers are necessary employees.
They are valuable, but they're not going to get paid.
And when you're not getting paid, you tend to decide
you're sick and you call in sick. So the ripple
effect from that is having some problems across this country
military pay. The backstop eight billion dollars of Donald Trump

(02:31):
had sort of reallocated from other areas and funding sources
of government that's ready to expire. The one hundred and
thirty million dollars that one private donor was kind enough
to contribute to keep the American military paid not going
to go a real long way. We're talking billions of
dollars here in terms of military pay, and one hundred
and thirty million dollars, while an exceptional amount of money

(02:53):
from my perspective, isn't enough in terms of dealing with
keeping the men and women in uniform paid. Snap benefits
plum and to expire. For people forty one million Americans
relying on snap benefits, that could be a problem. Of course,
this is the reason I think the Democrats are clinging
to the shutdown, in spite of the fact that they
are wholly and solely responsible. They want pain. Those folks

(03:14):
are always talking and lamenting and wailing about the poor
downtrodden masses and how they're the party that's going to
help them and don't worry, we're here to help you. Well. Yeah,
all these programs designed to quote unquote help folks on
life margins, you're hooked up to them. That means they're
dysfunction results in you not eating. Perhaps, Yeah, national parks

(03:36):
still open, but the garbage is piling up, and of
course people are doing bad things in national parks like
base jumping, which is otherwise ver Bowden. When the parks
are actually open and fully staffed. VA benefits will still
go out during the shutdown, So my veteran friends out there,
they're relying on the VA. That's okay. Oh and it's
all right. You should rest assure lawmakers will you will

(04:00):
continue to receive their paychecks during the shutdown because Article one,
section six of the US Constitution protects their pay. Of course,
the Constitution protects their pay. Anyway, more on that with
Monday Monday's Brian James. I love hearing from you. If
you feel free to we want to feel free to call.
You are free to call five on three seven four

(04:21):
nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three
talk pound five fifty on eighteen and two phones. Hey
how about that, Bengals. Jeez, wiez man, We're feeling really
good about ourselves up till like the third quarter. What
in the hell anyway? Over to the Democrats losing their
collective minds. In most recent illustration and iteration of this,

(04:43):
representative Eric Swalwell, Democrat from California, had this to say
in his ex post the other day. Are you ready
over the weekend? Don't even think of seeking the Democratic
nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking
ball to the Trump ballroom on day one. Hmm. So

(05:09):
Donald Trump's building a ballroom apparently much needed. This has
been something that's been a problem for all presidents for
quite some time. They want to have big state dinners,
and whether you and I care or think that's a
good thing or not, you get more than one hundred
people together, they have to put a giant tent outside
the White House. Trump's ballroom paid for by his own
personal funds and private contributions, not talk accosting the American

(05:32):
taxpayer a dime. You've seen renderings of it. It looks pretty nice.
If you're into ballrooms, let's say you can have big
balls in a big ballroom, right, Tony Bender, You should
dust off that ACDC song they sang about this. Say what, honey, Yeah,

(05:52):
they did sing about it. And over to Roger Kimball,
who I thought I had some great editorial words about
this hit hysteria got quite an impressive background. Roger does
editor and publisher of The New Criterion, President publisher of
Encounter Books, author and editor of a whole bunch of books. Anyway,

(06:13):
some great observation standing on the shoulders of maybe not
a giant, but at least someone with some great observations
about this ridiculous hand ring from the Democrats. Is this
what they have left to complain and cry about? A ballroom? Anyway?
And I know exactly why they are complaining is because
every single moment in time, from the minute it's completed

(06:34):
until the minute they have their first function, and any
other administration thereafter is going to have to deal with
Trump derangement syndrome. He is going to live inside their
head thanks to the ballroom forever long after Donald Trump
has left. This has freed from his mortal coil. As
I previously said, anyway, Roger rates the Democrats appear to
have been to be a never ending source of pitiable

(06:55):
entertainment these days. Last week, it was the pathetic No Kings,
which some mischievous wag called no Brains rallies across the
country that was him. Those twenty seven hundred anti Trump
therapy sessions for aging and cephalic bloomers, funded to the
TUNA two hundred and ninety four million dollars by such

(07:16):
public spirited individuals as entities like Arabella Advisors, the Tides Foundations,
George Soros and Warren Buffett.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
Hmm.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Such dreams of cash fun of millions through dozens of
left leaning entities including the American Civilbrities Union, National LGBTQ
Task Force, Sierra Club Foundation, the Democracy Forward Foundation, and
other havens of the perpetually aggrieved. It was a noisy
but preposterous temper tantrument full of sound and fury signifying stupidity.

(07:45):
The union of kumbayad gestures with rage filled pantomimes was
both inadvertently, while it's comical, the innswermountable problem all those
protesters face was the incontrovertible fact that Donald Trump is
not a king. The duly elected president who handily won
both the electoral college and popular vote campaign precisely on
the issues. Then unhappy podbangers and sign waivers bewailed closing

(08:09):
the border, expelling illegal migrants, dismantling the woke dei apparat
in academia and the federal government, and resuscitating the americanizing
the US economy. He scored a lot of victories along
every single one of those platform plans promise that campaigned
on it. If Trump or O Kane, why would he
not simply outlaws such puerile displays them maliciousness as the

(08:32):
no Kay's rallies. Why wouldn't he simply decree the government
open again? Now, the whole thing was ridiculous. I doubt
that even the participants could have taken their make believe
protests seriously, but they probably feel they have to do
something to make themselves heard these days, in the face
of the perpetual motion machine that is Donald Trump. What
is an underemployed Democrat to do. It's just the nature

(08:55):
of horrors, a vacuum. So the werkarat abhor the absence
of outrage. It's an addiction, a sickness, craving that cannot
be denied outrage or burst. That's their motto. So no
sooner had the hangover of the No King's Fiasco behun
to dissipate, than a new draft was necessary. Trump supplied
it with the news that he was going ahead with

(09:17):
his plans to add a new ballroom, paid for with
private funds, to the White House. In fact, Trump's been
promising to do just this, build a beautiful ballroom so
large that gatherings in the White House would not have
to be held under a tent, at least since twenty sixteen.
But some of the Democratic Central Committee pretended to canvass
the focus groups and decided the engine of outrage could

(09:40):
be primed with the Trump is desecrating this sacred place
public monument meme. Again, the outpouring of manufactured outrage was
both hilarious empathetic people who suddenly became hyper sensitive architectural
preservationist that spent the last decade hearing on the people

(10:00):
who tore down or desecrated important historical statues, smashed or rips,
sullied artworks, and substituted their noxious, woke fantasies for the
clear light of historical truth. Such walk marauders also completely
ignored the actual history of the White House and its
many reconstructions, editions, renovations, and renewals. Comedy was endless. Hillary

(10:21):
Clinton shouldn't know better than to wax and the moralistic
about anything having to do with the White House. Pretended
to be outraged and posted it's not his house, it's
your house, and he's destroying it, to which Trump replied,
I may name it the Monica Lewinsky Ballroom. Kind of

(10:43):
seers that the Clinton libido little savor of the double entendre.
Great Scott Adams, remember him, comic book or comic illustrator,
had fun with the trade. Everyone agrees the ballroom of
the White House is needed, he notes, but Dems just
demonstrated that they can get their base to go insane.
Oh anything. Quote all they have to do is say
it over and over close quote. All of a sudden,

(11:05):
quote Trump is going to renovate the White House becomes
Trump's going to destroy the White House. One said, it
feels almost the same as when I saw the Pentagon
damage on nine to eleven. Yes, really it is insane,
but Adams was loving it. Quote. I think you should
respect that the Democrats are willing to take on the

(11:26):
challenge of living in a country where there's a building
being renovated heroes. The White Elf itself posted a helpful
timeline of significant renovations and events and residents throughout the years.
By now many readers will know that in nineteen oh two,
Teddy Roosevelt added the West Wing to the White House.
Nineteen oh nine, William Ouer Taff expanded the West Wing

(11:46):
and added the original Oval Office. Nineteen thirties and forties,
FDR moved the Oval Office to its current location, built
the East Wing, and added an indoor swimming pool. FDR
successor Harry Truman got it and totally rebuilt the interior
of the White House. Richard Nixon converted the White House
swimming pool into oppressed briefing room and added a bowling alley.
Barack Obama desecrated a tennis court to build a basketball court,

(12:10):
but that pedestrian inventory does not include some of the
more piquent items that the White House included in its record.
He said, my favorites were the slides regarding the discovery
of cocaine and the Transgender Day celebration at the White House.
If you've seen that meme, it is absolutely hilarious, and
by the way he writes, most renovations stuck the taxpayers
with a tab. Trump's new ballroom costs the taxpayers nothing

(12:33):
entirely privately funded. Among other things, this week's Democrat exercise
effeckless melodrama reminds us that all the political initiative now
is with Donald Trump, not just the Democrats are wholly reactive,
responding like pavlogs dogs an he bell that Trump might ring.
There is also the fact that Trump has consumed all

(12:53):
the political auction available in the body politic, his maga
agendas shaping everything from his peace initiatives on the world
stays to his efforts at the border and with the
economy and cultural fabric of the country. All the Democrats
have now is the screech of Elizabeth Warren and her
tribe loll resounding like a gigantic set of fingernails drawn

(13:16):
harshly across the blackboard of the nation's attention. It's a horrible,
disagreeable sound. No one heeds it, everyone recoils from it.
It's not much, but it's all the Democrats have now,
A sort of endless re enact him of Edward Munch's
The scream in lieu of any constructive action, well stated

(13:37):
Roger Kimball yep. Eric Swallwoll great demonstration of exactly what
he pointed out. Pledge to take a wrecking ball to
the Trump ballroom, day one of the new administration, should
a Democrat occupy the Oval office five eighteen fifty five.
Care see detalk station be right back. After these brief words,

(13:59):
what's happening?

Speaker 5 (14:00):
They placed wagers on.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
It is time for Channel nine first morning weather. It's
forecast so later today we got partly to mostly cloudy skies,
highest sixty three, overnight, mostly cloudy, a slight rain chance.
Most will not see rain. So you can just scratch
that out of the weather forecast. I guess forty eight.
The overnight low fifty eight are high tomorrow with overcast
skies and isolated chance rain in the afternoon. It'll remain overcast,

(14:24):
overnight spotty showers possible forty to five. The overnight low
Wednesday is going to be welp. They save prepare for
widespread showers. Quote a true washout day close quote from
Channel nine fifty for the high they say Halloween's going
to be dry though, forty six degrees right, now fifty
five kr SV talk stations. How about that Dangle five

(14:46):
twenty I thinky five krc BE talk station five one, three, seven,
four nine, fifty five hundred eighty two to three talk
now on Fight fifty on eight and Chief Phone. Wonderful
having Sarah Heringer in studio last week on Frida, spent
a whole hour with Sarah. Get an update on how
she's doing, how she's recovering in the wake of her
husband being slaughtered before her very eyes and her over

(15:07):
the Rhine apartment. That's progress there. I have to have
per of all Dad's progress. Anyway, She's the one that
ultimately allowed us to reveal the failing nature of the
angle monitoring system. Sarah Herringer, or rather the Patrick Herringer
Act floating round up someplace in Columbus, and the call
to action was just call your elected officials here in

(15:27):
Ohio and tell them to move that forward so we
can actually have a system that works. Private citizen Brad
Weinsterpin Studio for an hour talk government shutdown, among other
things with Brad of course Tech Friday with Dave Hatter,
very important segment that one and I saw this Rather
than go some other direction. Why not go this direction?
I don't rely on AI powered chatbots for medical advice. Yeah,

(15:55):
and I mentioned my experience just trying chat gpt for
almost the first time. I had done it for comedic
purposes previously, but I was using it for an introduction
for Corey Bowman. Just trying it. I wasn't going to
read the introduction, but after typing in a very detailed explanation,
I wanted chat gpt to spit out for me, which
was an introduction to Corey Bowman talking about his platform

(16:16):
and his background. I had a whole cloth made up
version of what chat GPT thought Corey Bowman, mayoral candidate
early voting's open choose him Corey Bowman is, and what
he's all about. Since I know him, I knew the
whole thing to be packed full of lies, most notably
Corey Bowman's not all about the Green Agenda, which the
chat GPT said he was pivoting over At New York

(16:40):
Post reporting the rise of AI chat box, people are
turning to it to get medical advice and getting some
really really bad advice. Here you go. One particularly shocking
case that some bright Bard props involved a thirty five
year old Moroccan man who sought help from chat gpt

(17:00):
for a cauliflower alike. Are you ready anal lesion? Chatbot
suggested the growth could be hemorrhoids, and I proposed elastic
or elastic ligation as a treatment. He did that himself
using a thread, resulting in intense pain, landing in an
emergency room. Further test and reveal the growth had been
completely misdiagnosed by AAI. They got a sixty year old

(17:22):
man with a college education and innutrition asked the AI
platform how to reduce his intake of table salt. Chat
gpt suggested using sodium bromide as a replacement. He did
follow that device, and while the consumption of sodium bromide
caused him well to reach a level of toxicity, developing
bromide poisoning. Hospitalized for three weeks with symptoms including paranoia, hallucinations, confusions,

(17:48):
extreme thirst, and a skin rash. And then there are
also more severe demonstration got a Swiss guy who experienced
double vision after a mentally evasive heart procedure. When the
double vision return, he consulted chat gpt, which reassured him
that that well was a temporary thing. That would improve
on its own. He didn't seek medical help, and twenty

(18:10):
four hours later ended up in the emergency room suffering
a mini stroke. So three cautionary tales out there. I
think it's aokay to at least take a look and
see what it says. But maybe take that information to
your primary care physician and say, look, I was curious.
Maybe it was after hours I couldn't reach you. Do

(18:33):
you think this has anything to do with it? Uh? No,
get to the hospital right like and now you're dying.
Chat GPT had it wrong like it does so so
many times. Jay's on the throw Jay, You're next, Tom.
If you're out there, you can go after J love
hearing from anybody who wants to call five on three

(18:54):
seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty
two three talk First QC Kinetics, because I went to
QC Kinetics on Friday, a bit of a salesman, get
the whole presentation. I actually watched the QC Kinetics thing happen.
The PRP platelet rich plasma. I watched the extraction from it.

(19:15):
It comes from your own body, so they're pulling blood
out of your own body. They put it in this device.
It's centrifusion down and you get this platelet rich plasma
which is then injected in the taste of this particular
patient right into the neil me. This woman has had
wild success with the QC Kinetics will dealing with pain,
and it isn't just arthritis pain. That's one thing I learned.

(19:36):
Any kind of pain you have, like muscular pain, a
tissue damage kind of pain, these are advanced cellular treatments
that help your body heal and restore the damage to
your joints and the areas that are damaged. Healing it
not just covering up with the steroid injection. It's truly amazing.
I was wowed by it, and they'll take great care
of you, and they'll also tell you if it's not
something that'll work for you, will QC Kinetics work for

out five one three eight four seven zero zero nineteen.

Speaker 6 (20:10):
This is fifty five krc an iHeartRadio station Monday, Like.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
It or not. Five one three seven fifty five hundred
eight hundred eight two three, Top half five fifty on
AT and T phones, fits five cars dot Com podcast
when you can't listen, and I've also got that iHeartMedia
app stream the audio head over to the phones. Tom
hang on, Jay's first, Jay, thanks for holding over the break.
Welcome back, my friend. Happy Monday to you.

Speaker 7 (20:35):
Hey, Happy Monday, Brian, and congratulations to all the listeners
on this glorious government shut down. We're up to one
hundred and thirty three billion dollars saved, assuming that it
doesn't get spent, which I think is probably an unsafe assumption.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
I think it is.

Speaker 8 (20:51):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (20:51):
You know, the second point is on the Trump ballroom.
Underneath the heading of nothing is free. I see that
the big tech bros through a lot of money at
this thing, and we'll see a section two thirty UH
continues to remain in place, protecting social media companies from
the UH, the standards that all the rest of the

(21:13):
media companies have.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
To Tom yea or Jay. You think they're buying favors
by throwing in some money for the big, beautiful ballroom.

Speaker 7 (21:22):
No, No, I think these I think these huge businesses
just you know, it's it's getting close to Christmas, and
I think that your heart.

Speaker 9 (21:30):
Just got softened.

Speaker 8 (21:30):
That's that's what I think it is.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Like all their tech bros who showed up after Trump
got elected were praising him and standing around him and
taking his hand, when five seconds prior to that they
were standing around Joe Biden or whoever happened to be
in the office at that moment in time. Yeah, they
know where they're Their bread is buttered, that's for sure.

Speaker 10 (21:51):
Sure.

Speaker 7 (21:52):
They were throwing millions at his inauguration because the thing
that this country absolutely can afford is inauguration. And I
guess that's my point is it's kind of and I
like most of what Trump's doing, but there's a time
to read the room. Whenever we're thirty some trillion dollars
in debt, you just pick the fight with the ranchers

(22:14):
and told the ranchers that they need to lower the
price of beef. How about to lower the get rid
of the regulation off of all ranchers and farmers who
allow them to return to the free market. And then
see what happens.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Yeah, there's that. And then also you got to remember
the number of head of cattle that are out in
the world. I mean that takes a while to rebound,
and it's at the lowest level it's been since what
like the nineteen fifties. That's been a problem we've been
facing for a long time. Supply and demand.

Speaker 11 (22:40):
Absolutely.

Speaker 7 (22:41):
I have a neighbor who raises cattle.

Speaker 8 (22:43):
He'll sell.

Speaker 7 (22:44):
If you go to a private farmer, you can buy
half of beef for about five bucks a pound. How
in a world do you make money raising that animal
with the price of feed and then turn around and
sell it for five bucks a pounds. That's not what
you pay Kroger's. Oh no, that's what the that's what
the rancher is putting in his pocket. So so the
thing about Trump in the quote free ballroom and is

(23:07):
kind of in a midterm election coming is kind of like.

Speaker 5 (23:11):
Read the room, slow it down by.

Speaker 7 (23:15):
Your time, and you know, I just refuse to find
that the convention space is that a you know, you
just can't find any in Washington, d C. If you
want to have a meeting, and uh that you know,
the tail of this thing, just like every good government project,
is this going to be free? Is it going to
be maintained and paid for? All the maintenance and upkeep
over the next thousand years by the tech ros.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
I doubt it not.

Speaker 7 (23:38):
Sooner or later it's going to fall in the back
of the taxpayers to take care of the gold plated
room or whatever it is.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
But I guess, I guess the point, the broader point,
whether or not it's actually needed. And I don't know
if you could hear the tone of my voice when
talking about it, what do I know? I mean, listen,
you talk about state dinners and things. I'm never going
to be invited to one. I don't care. It's a
bunch of pomp and circumstance, a bunch of hu has
rubbin elbows together. I don't care. If it gets something
accomplished on behalf of the American people, that's fine. But

(24:05):
in the final analysis, you know, looking at the list
of all the things that have been done by way
of modifying the White House, is it really the oh
my god, the Trump is destroying history moment? I mean
that he engages in this project, go ahead and be
critical that there are more important things out in the
world to do. But at least the project itself isn't
coming out of your in my pocket future costs? Absolutely Yeah,

(24:27):
I mean, are we still complaining about the basketball cart
court that was put in by Obama. I don't ever
hear anybody complaining about it or any of the other projects.
So what the problem is? They got Trump Derangement Center,
and this is going to be a symbol of Donald
Trump that they won't be able to erase. Wallwell saying
that you got to be the litmus test to become

(24:49):
the next presidential candidate, nder the Democratic monitors. You've got
to promise to destroy the thing. That would be a
colossal waste of taxpayer dollars, wouldn't it tearing some him down?
That's fully functional and arguably needed. If you look at
the arguments that have been made for wanting this thing
in the first place. Do you want it to be
inside part of the White House? If you think you

(25:11):
can make an argument for that, then fine, it's being done.
We're not having to pay for it at least right now.
Is this like the is this gonna sway elections? Oh
my god, I can't vote for Donald Trump. I can't
vote for a Republican next week because Donald Trump's building
a ballroom. Doesn't that sound dumb as an argument? It's
not a policy argument, It's not don't vote for that
guy because he's gonna take away something, or because he's

(25:34):
gonna put a new program in, or he's gonna deregulate.
Oh my god, we're all gonna die. This is about
a blank and ballroom. This is about a building that's
not gonna impact anybody.

Speaker 7 (25:45):
Don't miss underestimate the ability of dumb to sway an election.
But in closing, don't vote Democrat, don't vote Rhino.

Speaker 10 (25:54):
Looking forward to hearing from Tom.

Speaker 8 (25:56):
Thanks Brian.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
He will be next out for the break. I have
confidence that Thomas willing to hang out for a couple
of minutes because you've got to get some more messages out.
Keep the lights on and give Let me give you
some really sound advice. USAir Installation. I've been I'm coming
up on twenty years in radio. I've been talking about
USA the entire time. It's a great product, the ultimate
no brainers. I've always described it. Your only regret is
not getting it in your home sooner, because you would

(26:18):
have been saving money and enjoying the huge increase in
comfort all the time. Well, you'll notice it for the
moment you put it in, But do you need it?
First off, starts with the free inspection, which comes with
a free quote if in fact you need it, USA
I will tell you if you don't, so you could
be under insulated or without any insulation at all. In
either case, get the phone ninety nine dollars a month
interest free. If you act now, they will discount it

(26:41):
by five hundred dollars and then act this year. Because
the tax credit expires after this year. You'll get twelve
hundred dollars energy tax credit next year again last year available.
Lots of reasons, the call on the most important, which
is improving comfort and energy savings in your home, and
you probably will save more than ninety nine bucks a
month on your energy bill. Winter time is coming. Three

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Job, well oiled machine. He hasn't forgotten anything over the years.

Speaker 10 (28:00):
First of all, I wanted to comment on the ballroom.
It gets hilarious. How anythink Trump does just just freaks
these people out. I love it, and I think, you
know what, I think that's part of the reason, if
not all, the reason why he does some of the stuff.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yeah, like negotiating negotiating peace in war torn countries who've
been at war with each other for decades. Yeah, that
that sucks because Trump did it.

Speaker 10 (28:22):
Yeah, what a horrible human being he is. Uh, what
do you remember the women that remember all the women
that Trump had at that Hillary Clinton debate that the
women that had had issues with her husband Bill. Uh,
wouldn't it be cool? If all of those women plus
Monica Lewinski was there for the ribvit cutting ceremony for
the new ballroom.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
And Monica's got to be there because he's gonna name
it after her.

Speaker 10 (28:48):
That's that's such a true several minutes of laugh out
loud moment on that one. That's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
He does know how to have a good time, and
it really I think it does most of the time.
He's he really is joking. I think the they're only
designed to get a response from the apoplectic Democrats. It's
just you can see him doing it. I had a
conversation with a relative who will remain unnamed, but I
had to walk her down that path too. It's like,
you're you're taking it was something that really set her

(29:17):
off and no Trump fan. She I said, you're you're
taking that seriously. I said, he's got you. He asked
you just in full reactive mode constantly. You know, you're
you're you're letting a joke cause you to react in
an angry fashion. I said, he knows he's doing that
to you because you can't take a joke, right.

Speaker 10 (29:39):
Yeah, yeah, but I'm sure they Oh yeah. I wanted
to touch on the NBA Betty standers. Oh yeah, I
don't know how much that matters to you.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
But we're just at the tip of the iceberg. I mean,
I read this article on the Wall Street Journal from
sportswriter Jason Gay, and the one thing I took from
it was really a frightening thing that the individual players
are getting harassed. Now they're not involved in cheating. They're
not involved in the scandal. But you know, you're in
the NBA and you miss a point and somebody's bet

(30:13):
on your personal performance, they immediately think that you're cheating,
and they pile on social media wise, they threaten you
and say you just ruined my life or whatever. So
the ballplayers themselves are free from the scandal, and yet
they're fully embroiled in it just because they're playing the game.

Speaker 10 (30:30):
Right. Well, my take on it is we watch sports
as well, at least those of us who are not
directly connected to a league or a team or whatever.
We watch it for entertainment purposes. It's a diversion from
reality for true. Frankly, whether my team wins or loses
has no direct effect on my life indeed, but it's
entertainment and so and at The core of watching sports

(30:55):
is whether you go to your your kids little league
game or where you're watching the super Ball is we're
watching these people play a game and they're trying to
win a championship. That's that's what when we get behind them,
we root for them. You're trying to win, you're doing
the best you can, and we know you're gonna fail,
we know you're gonna do something stupid, but you know

(31:16):
what you're trying and we're behind you. We're rooting and
cheering you on. When as soon as we realize or
we even think that you're not trying your best, you don't.
You don't run out of ground ball in the infield
or or whatever. And even worse, what these guys are
being excused of, you're intentionally sitting out a game or
you're intentionally not trying your best because you've got buddies

(31:39):
with with money on you to not do so well.
Now now you cross the line and you have a
we have a serious problem with that. We want you
to try to win. We're we're we want to root
for somebody trying to win, not trying to lose. That's ridiculous.
So turning this to politics, when when we have people
and politicians, people in leadership who are clearly not trying

(32:01):
to help their constituents win. They're they're going out of
their way for selfish reasons, or or they're trying to
make money for their buddies, or or you know, you
brought up to something that's dumb. I mean, if I
can't think of a policy the Democrats have that actually
make sense and actually what helped the American people. If

(32:23):
everything they come up with causes us to lose. And
so when when you have people like that, we don't
want to root for you. You're a problem, You're causing issues,
You're causing us to lose. We're not going to root
for you. We're not going to cheer you on because
your your ideas are dumb and all you want to
do is is hurt somebody else who're not really trying
to help anybody. So with that in mind, don't vote Rhino,

(32:46):
don't vote Democrat. Have a great day, Ryan, you have
a great day too.

Speaker 8 (32:50):
Tom.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
We all know what opinions are like, right, we've all
got one. Feel free to chime in if you care to.
Five three D two three talk and Wednesday's Today. Can't
wait for it, because I'm going head on out and
hopefully catch most of the application of the Galaxy Concrete
coatings to Lauren and Eric's patio. Got the confirmation this

(33:12):
is going to take place on Wednesday. This is going
to be beautiful. They're patio currently, I would say not beautiful.
We're gonna have before and after pictures. I'm going to
take and post them up when I get them. But
I am confident this is going to look absolutely amazing
because that's what Galaxy Concrete coatings is. It's truly amazing
versus plain old concrete or deteriorating concrete. If you got that,
that's even worse than regular plan old plan old concrete

(33:32):
for your garage floor, basement floor, driveway, walkway, pool deck, patio,
indoor flooring as well. Get a free quote Galaxy Concrete Coatings.
These folks have been at it for more than twenty years.
The product itself dries rather quickly, so you don't have
you're not dealing without the space and the use of
the space for a long time. I think it's twenty
four hours, but I'll find out on Wednesday for sure,

(33:55):
and I know I'm going to be wowed by it.
More than one hundred and forty colors and all kinds
of different coating looks. Galaxyconcrete Coatings dot Com is where
you go to get that free quote. I recommend you do.
You'd be glad that you did it. Galaxyconcretecoatings dot Com.
Fifty five KRC the talk station. Hey Bengals fans from
Game Day to Getaway. It's five fifty on a Monday, cribbage. Mike,

(34:21):
my submarine a friend. Thank you for the heads up.
I just realized. And the pouring down rain on Wednesday,
maybe the Galaxy Concrete Coatings project isn't going to move forward.
I have no idea what. The porch is not there,
the patio porch is not covered, so probably delayed. I
doubt anybody's sitting on the edge of their seat waiting
to hear about that. But it is a cool product,

(34:44):
and don't forget. Honor Flight is tomorrow. That was the
main motivation behind Mike's message to me this morning. It
is Honor Flight Eve, so make sure you put around
your county at CVG tomorrow evenings. Show up around eight thirty.
It should be a couple of thousand folks along with
you that are going to show up there to welcome
home the America veterans from their honor flight. It is
a truly patriotic and quite moving experience. So if you

(35:05):
need some uh well an uplifting message about America generally speaking,
that's the place to get it. Let's see here I
mentioned relying on chatch ept for medical advice. Don't do that,
and I don't understand why you want your butt bigger,
But don't go to Columbia for a butt injection. You're
gonna die or you could. New York Police are of

(35:27):
a detective loving Mama three, now dead after receiving a
butt lift liposuction procedure in Columbia. Detective Alicia Stone forty
taken to some hospital I can't pronounce after discovering being
discovered unresponsive in her hotel room again Columbia. Thirteen year
old New York Police Department veteran part of the department's

(35:47):
Internal Affairs Bureau, pronounced dead just over an hour later
after being found cause of death unspecified, cardiac arrest. Her
husband is a little uh concerned about it, launching an investigation.
She'd undergone a lipos and gluteal fat transfer procedure. In
the country. He recalled that his wife was perfectly fine

(36:08):
just before the procedure and told relatives the day before
her death that she was feeling all right. Gluteal fat
transfer This is something that I really don't understand, known
as the Brazilian butt lift, involves transferring fat from other
parts of the body to increase the size of the buttocks.

(36:30):
I'm wrestling with that. I'm old enough to remember the
time when nobody wanted their butt to be bigger. They
wanted it to be smaller. So this woman is now
dead because she wanted a bigger butt. That just does
not make any sense. Let's see what Steve's got this morning. Steve,
thanks for calling. Welcome to the Morning Show.

Speaker 8 (36:47):
Well, good morning, Brian. Hey.

Speaker 13 (36:48):
I wanted to first talk about QC kinetics. My experience
with QC is going to outstand.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Oh that's great, the most incredible to you.

Speaker 8 (36:58):
Like I said, I can.

Speaker 11 (36:59):
Walk this morning.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
Oh cool. I saw, like I said before, Steve, when
I was throwing the commercial, I saw the procedure being
done for the first time on Friday, and I was
pretty amazed by it and all the success stories. All
the people that were working there are like I work
here because it works so great for me. It's like
I want to spread the love. So good for you, Steve.
I'm really happy for you.

Speaker 8 (37:17):
Yeah, it was good.

Speaker 11 (37:18):
I mean they did.

Speaker 13 (37:19):
I mean they did the bone marrow esperate.

Speaker 11 (37:22):
I've been in paying for so long.

Speaker 8 (37:24):
That I needed I needed to do something.

Speaker 13 (37:27):
And you know, I have a degree in pharmacy, so
I'm a big farmer guy.

Speaker 11 (37:31):
At least they used to be.

Speaker 13 (37:32):
For without days and it worked.

Speaker 8 (37:36):
They are I mean, I've been.

Speaker 13 (37:38):
Forty years of experience working with healthcare professionals. They are
very good at answering questions, pleasant team, great, knowledgeable, and
they did my bone mare esperate.

Speaker 8 (37:55):
It's fairly.

Speaker 13 (37:56):
Maybe I've been in pain for so much. I'm I
haven't little piece us is left. They were, they were
very confident.

Speaker 11 (38:07):
And they're they're all.

Speaker 10 (38:08):
They're all very pleasant.

Speaker 8 (38:09):
They're good looking. They're good looking, they are.

Speaker 9 (38:12):
They're beautiful inside.

Speaker 8 (38:13):
Now, all right, you might have noticed that.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
I did pay attention to that. I am a man, Steve,
So yeah, I.

Speaker 13 (38:22):
Am too, and I'm I'm gonna.

Speaker 9 (38:27):
Go ahead.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
I'm glad. I'm happy as I can be for you, man,
I really really am.

Speaker 13 (38:31):
It's a good I can get back into doing some
of my gardening stuff.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Good for you, anything else like your mind for we
part company because we're almost at the time in the segment.

Speaker 8 (38:41):
Steve, Okay, I did want to say one thing.

Speaker 13 (38:45):
Eric Swallow, who I refer to as Ankire, I believe
needs to be put on a PolyGram and we need
to do details of his intimate relations with.

Speaker 12 (38:54):
That Chinese spy.

Speaker 13 (38:55):
If in fact what I believe is true is true,
he should be in in jail for the rest of
his life for trees.

Speaker 8 (39:04):
Is there any way you can dispute that I didn't call.
I didn't call for an argument on this one.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
No, no, no, you aren't looking for an argument.

Speaker 10 (39:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
There there is that problem floating around in his background.
And now I'm glad you brought that back up because
I had forgotten Eric Swalwell was the guy that was uh,
you know, involved intimately. What was her name, Feng Thang? Right,
wasn't that her name?

Speaker 13 (39:24):
Yeah, it's like Christina Wang or something like that. I
just prefer yeah, yeah, and and the name I can't
use anyway.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
Well, I appreciate that. It's okay. Don't need to get
on that road, Steve. I don't want to have to
utilize the dump button on a Monday morning. Out of
the game, Steve, I congratulations on your success and I
can't thank you enough for at least giving the sponsor
a chance and supporting a sponsor. And I am so
pleased it worked out to your benefit. And you know,
maybe somebody else is going to try it. Now to

(39:57):
five fifty six fifty five KRC detalk station. Your calls
are always welcome. Five and three seven four nine two
three TA coming up smith Aman at seven twenty. We
got time in the six o'clock hour to talk about
other topics. I've got some of those to do, but
I'm happy for you to steer the direction of the conversation.
Just give me a call, be right back after the news.

Speaker 14 (40:15):
Today's tough headlines coming up at the top of the hour.

Speaker 15 (40:18):
Something always happens when you leave to expected fifty five
KR see the talk station.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
You're one stop for advertising. Call it Ofughcare CD talk station.
Try to make it a happy Monday if you can't
figure around all morning at Christopher Smithman coming up at
seven twenty for the smith Event. Early voting's going on.
We've got one week laugh now from tomorrow obviously the
one week mark er till election day next week. Going
to be at a listener lunch on Wednesday. I hope

(40:47):
you can make it. Should be a good time, well, hepe,
we have a celebration to engage in at the listener lunch.
I mean, you know, one can hope, you still have hope.
Do you think there's a opportunity for change here? Anyway?
We'll be at High Grain Brewery in Brentwood. They have
a couple of locations from my understanding, but the Brentwood
location is where we're going to be for listener lunch

(41:09):
next Wednesday, hopefully in a celebratory mood. Gotta do something
about the direction of the city of Cincinnati, and I
don't believe that, in spite of his best efforts in
his op ed piece to the CINSINNI inquired, I don't
believe they have to have pro ball spelled out a
lot of accomplishments, and thinking about diving on into that
before we get to Christopher Smithman, who may very well
have something to say about that. I'll dive on any

(41:29):
topic you want, if you feel free to call five one, three, seven,
four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two
three talk Tom five fifty on eight and t phones.
I guess I'm inclined to start with this absurd, absurd
response from Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. He got really angry

(41:50):
at a reporter on Friday because the reporter used the
term quote illegal aliens close quote when asking about city spending.
You can find the video. There's an official transcript to
the kind of the Chicago may floating around out there.
A reporter asked the mayor about a report on city spending.

(42:11):
The question is about spending, but he said spending related
to illegal aliens, which, of course the mayor, rather than
address the topic of city spending, immediately attack the reporter
for being a racist because he used the term illegal aliens.
So we never got the answer to the question, but
we did get a tongue lashing from Johnson. We don't

(42:33):
have illegal aliens. I don't know if that's from some
sort of sci fi message that you wish you've had. Well, listen,
the legal term for my people were slaves. Oh okay, uh,
you want me to use that term too, So look,
let's just get the language right. We're talking about undocumented

(42:53):
individuals that are human beings well, pesky Brian Thomas and
looked at the definition of alien from the Oxford Dictionary.
Belonging to a foreign country or nation is not inherently
racist to anybody. You're a member of a you belong
to a foreign country or nation. You are a citizen

(43:15):
of a foreign country or nation. You are not an
American citizen. Did you come into the country pursuat or
immigration laws legally? No, you broke the immigration laws, so
you would be here unlawfully, illegally in the country because
you didn't comply. You are definitionally an alien. Even if
you are here legally, you'll be a legal person that

(43:38):
belongs to a foreign country or nation. You haven't obtained
US citizenship yet. If you got US citizen, if you
would be a US citizen and no longer definition definitionally
an alien. Ah, this kind of thing just drives me
out of my mind. Johnson said he would not accept,
in his words, accept that type of racist, nasty language

(43:58):
to describe human beings. Well, since definitionally alien is not racist,
still refers to a human being. Because alien definitionally is
a person from another nation or country, I guess it
can also be an extraterrestrial, that would be a person
from another world. But in terms of the topic of conversation,

(44:22):
in terms of the line of questioning, where clearly Johnson
not talking about some sci fi message. We're talking about
human beings who came into this country and are apparently
overwhelming city spending in the city of Chicago. So you
see the deflection of the diversion and the people get
away with this really just angers me to no end.
And if I was that reporter's like, all right, strike

(44:42):
illegal alien. Can you get back to the spending questions, sir,
because he certainly wouldn't entertain a definitional breakdown in the
middle of a press conference. I don't have time for you. You
can see him doing that. Of course, he do that
kind of stuff all the time. So that just goes
along with this whole fascism thing and this Nazi thing.
You know, I'm just tired of reminding democrats the definition

(45:06):
of fascism. Does Donald Trump want to micromanage every aspect
of your life through regulation or laws or anything else. No,
the answer is no, he is doing an effort to deregulate.
In fact, he'd liked to fire all the employees who
have been let go from the federal government, or at
least on lee from the federal government during the shutdown.
It's not working out so well. I know he originally

(45:29):
was going to say that this vote guy was going
to start firing people. That hasn't happened. Obviously, some challenges
of editing the equation, much in the same way challenges
entering to the equation when you thought Doze was gonna
cut two trillion dollars out of the federal government. That
it's a little more complicated to that we're all finding out.
But as a scream fascism, fascism, it just hurts my

(45:51):
brain that they're so dumb that they utter that word
and try to link it to Donald Trump. It's a
reflection of the ignorance of the Democrats, I suppose. And
if I was among the crowd of people who are
clearly struggling with trump arrangement, sister sindrome. But if I
was on that side of the political ledger, and I
was trying to fight for my socialist ideology, which I

(46:12):
could easily label fascist ideology, the Nazis were in fact
the Socialist Party controlling the means of production right anyway,
I would try to make some policy argument, and much
in the same way I have criticized the idea that
the mainstream media over the years loves to pick and
choose some representative from among the black community at large

(46:36):
and say that their voice represents the voice of all
people in the black community. I would be really angry
if I was a person of color, because no, no
one speaks for me. You can't paint with a broad brush.
What's more racist than saying all black people are the
same politically? Joe Biden did say that, didn't he. If
you don't vote Democrat, you're not black. So I guess,

(46:58):
my black friends and listening audience, you know the answer
to that question. Look in the mirror. Does your political
ideology change the color of your skin?

Speaker 8 (47:06):
No?

Speaker 1 (47:07):
But going back to this whole idea of fascism, if
I thought I had better ideas, if I thought that
my ideas compared to those policies of Donald Trump were better,
I could make an argument for them, then I would
be doing that. But I also would be thoroughly embarrassed
and the first person to raise my hand up saying,
you know what, We're not all this definitionally stupid. Quit

(47:29):
saying fascism. If you don't understand the definition of the word,
don't lump me into the group of morons that you hold.
You know, you broad brush into this corner saying, yeah,
we all believe this. This guy's a fascist. No, I
don't like him, but he's not definitionally a fascist. You're
making me look stupid. Sorry, it's Monday and I had

(47:52):
to get that out of my system. I you may
feel differently, feel free to call five one three, seven,
five hundred, eight hundred and eight to two three talk
found five fifty on AT and T phones. Everybody's trying
to get to the bottom of this, the whole riot gear.
I saw yet another article about how well organized these
anti file folks are. Yeah, these stoner, woke hipsters or

(48:14):
whatever you want to characterize them, mass the radicals living
on the streets. It didn't work out real well the
first go around with Anti five. They all packed up
their bags and left the occupation of the streets. I
guess because Joe Biden got elected. But they're of course
back this time. They're having to go not at just
the system. Generally speaking, these anti fascist folks again a

(48:37):
whole collection of morons that have it wrong, But who's
funding them? I saw this article by a guy named
Gregory Leikhoff, and you've seen other articles talking about the major,
big donors behind it. But he looked at these massive
purchases of gear and was able to there all some conclusions.

(49:01):
He said, these are not small individual purchases made by
college students pulling money for protests. Rather, the volume the
scale I mean BALK orders exceeding one thousand items like
for example, ski masks or specialized respiratory equipment, some orders
exceeding ten thousand units. He said, These items are not expensive.

(49:24):
The sheer volume of the orders goes beyond anything that
can be characterized as personal use, whether through established left
wing nonprofits, international benefactors, or wealthy ideologues. Money is clearly
moving into the hands of these radical groups who are
determined to disrupt civil life. Balk procurement of riot gear,
I don't know. Do you view that as part of

(49:46):
a broader pattern. Is this in some way, shape or
form illegal. I can't say that it necessarily is. Each
of the items that's being purchased is not illegal in
and of itself, but when you're buying ten thousand, three
m multi purpose performance respirators. It makes one kind of wonder,

(50:08):
most notably since they're all evenly distributed among the anti
file folks and the no Kings rally folks, making it
appear as though each of them has its own uniform.
And as I see in my mind's eye of the uniform,
black mass, you've got, black clothing, you've got, well, it

(50:28):
reminds me of the Cameer rouge. Maybe that's the look
they're trying to achieve. And they are, of course trying
to normalize political violence, normalize violence against federal law enforcement agents.
The answer to the problem that you are facing, to
the extent you see of the federal ice agents enforcing

(50:52):
federal law, not the job of state police to enforce
federal law, although assistance is always welcome. They're doing their job.
If you've have a problem with federal law, appeal to
your elected officials. Oh wait a minute, the great American
people in electing Donald Trump and a let's see a
Republican House and a Republican Senate campaigning on cracking down

(51:14):
on illegal immigrants. Ooh, Thomas is eracius because he used
the definitionally accurate statement illegal alien. Anyway, that's what we
voted for. The answer is to change the law. I
don't believe the American people issued a message that they

(51:34):
wanted the law to change, they wanted the law enforced,
and now that the law is finally being forced in
stark contrast to the Biden administration, the left starts pulling
its hair out and can find nothing more to go after, say,
for example, Mayor Johnson, than to complain about his use
of the word illegal alien six sixteen fifty five krc

(51:57):
neat talk station Call me please, something you want to
talk about. Otherwise I have to let Tony the big
dog bender just heer the direction of the conversation, covering

What's happening they please?

Speaker 1 (53:12):
Sixty twenty on a Monday. I'm glad to see if
Pearlwell's got to crack down the violence from the city
of Cincinnati. Oh well, maybe maybe not. Large police presence
right this morning in East Wannut Hills, NASOM came out
just before the morning show started. Local WLWT arrived on
the scene at four am. Apparently a neighbor said they

(53:32):
heard several shots fired before cop showed up place with
a K nine units searching the area, and they also
put a drone up. Just one of multiple incidents going
on in the city of Cincinnati. As we wake up
this morning, over to the phones we go, see what
Chris is. God, Chris, thanks so much for calling. Happy
Monday to.

Speaker 16 (53:51):
You, Happy Monday to you always a great morning.

Speaker 17 (53:55):
When I hear fifty five one hundred's I had a
question today about the electoral college and it's you know,
is it relevant for today as elections are a little
bit far off, But however, I would love to hear
your perspective as a libertarian to hear where we find

(54:21):
the electoral college relevant.

Speaker 1 (54:23):
Well, I've always thought it was important given the allocation
of humanity in the United States, considering New York and
California obviously overwhelmingly size or compared to the rest of
the state's huge in population. The electoral college has an
impact of allowing states like oh flyover a country to
have some say in representative government, which I think is
the reason that's important. But who knows. As we move forward,

(54:45):
more and more people flee New York and California and
some of the other major metropolitan areas like Chicago because well,
they've been run into the toilet, making life difficult for
the citizens who actually pay taxes. You may see a shift.
I've seen a lot of that, people move into red states,
So the balance of power may be shifting over Even
in the absence of an electoral college, you might stand

(55:06):
a chance of winning. But I'm comfortable with the way
the Founding Fathers set up the system to protect everyone
and give everyone a saying representative government. So I've never
heard an effective argument to just completely get rid of it.
Now you can make the argument, and I'm happy to
talk about that. But as I see it, I think
things are fine the way the Founding Fathers put it together.

Speaker 17 (55:25):
Chris, absolutely, yeah, absolutely, So when I think about electoral college,
the power of you know, individuals to.

Speaker 1 (55:33):
Be able to have their voice heard in their voote.

Speaker 17 (55:35):
Counted, it seems a little bit diluted when it comes
to like grouping them together by state rather than one
voice as a nation.

Speaker 8 (55:45):
You know, That's just my opinion though.

Speaker 1 (55:47):
Right well, you know, and that balance of power is
driven I think largely by us. I mean, we live
in a representative form of government, so we're not in
a true democracy. So the majority does not decide. So
we know that. So we're already diluting the democracy concept,
and a democracy concept if you put it in play

(56:08):
is well not it doesn't work out real well. I mean,
are we going to vote literally on every piece of
legislation that comes out of some committee in Congress?

Speaker 8 (56:16):
No?

Speaker 1 (56:17):
Are we going to vote on every little local issue
as a democracy. I mean, it just gets That's why
we have a representative form. So that that to me
is certainly a watering down, but it allows the process
to actually work a little bit more efficiently. And as
far as you know, Red states, Blue states, that's the
people we decide that. And think about the number of

(56:38):
people who actually decide that, the number of people who
actually vote, Chris, look at the election of the city
of Cincinnati. By all accounts, we're expecting a voter turnout
of twenty five percent. Now, if every single human being
in the city of Cincinnati actually cast the vote, would
it be that overwhelmingly blue? I don't know. Not everybody votes.

(56:59):
We're left to toy. I know, polls go out there
and people presume, based upon polling information, that it is.
But if push comes to shove and people get off
their butts and say, you know what, I'm not happy,
I'm no longer vote I'm going to vote blue, things
might change, but most of them will just wash their
hands of the whole process, or in many cases not,
even though there's an election next Tuesday, and the whole

(57:20):
thing will fly by and they'll miss it. Yeah, we
are the biggest problem, whether you have an electoral college
or not, whether it's representive former democracy or not, it's
ultimately the people that actually cast the votes that are
most important. And sadly, too many people do choose not
to participate in the democratic process. So thank you, Chris.

(57:41):
Very true well said, I appreciate it, but I appreciate
your call, I really do. It's something you know, we
don't always talk about, but I'm quick to remind everyone.
You know, it's like they're blowing up votes in the
in the Caribbean over by Venezuela. And you know, I
might be against that conceptually, but who's to blame for
the damn boat coming to the United States. We are

(58:02):
we got a drug problem in this country. They're not
the only country. But hey, if you're upset about drugs
being deliver in the United States, I don't think you
necessarily have to be upset about those who are, you know,
feeding the supply. They have to eat too. Oh my god,
they would be starving if they didn't have the drug
industry because there's literally nothing else going on in Venezuela
that makes money. These people are driven to dealing drugs.

(58:25):
These poor people, maybe they need a government program. And
if that was the argument, we'd be pointing to the
citizens of the United States of America who while basically
fuel the entire profit making endeavor six twenty five fifty

Foreign Exchange experience last week. Got the Kiya in there. Yeah,

(58:48):
that's the replacement for the Honda, which is in well
good hands with my son. But we had Kia now
and I had the oil. Change did a great job,
did a multipoint inspection as I head into winter. But
since it's not that old, it came through with flying colors.
That's because Foreign Exchange did the checkover. I know it
came through with flying colors, and of course the price
was great. That's what Foreign exchange is all about to

As I go into local stories, which has no reference
to Bengals law. You're in a good mood up until
that fourth quarter. Weren't you anyway? Uh, what do we
got here? We got a thirty nine year old guy
jumped off the Purple People Bridge. October twenty fourth, about

(01:00:18):
six thirty in the morning. Marymount Police officers dispatch of
the thirty eight hundred block of Homewood and report of
a report of an assault impossible stabbing. When they got there,
they found a woman forty one years old had been
stabbed multiple times, Fortunately non life threatening injuries. That guy
who did the stabbing left the scene in his vehicle
right before the officers showed up. After he fled. According

(01:00:38):
to release, he was encountered by the Newport Police Department
in the Newport's South Bank Bridge aka Purple People Bridge.
He jumped into the Ohio River after the Newport police
got into an interaction with him. Don't know what the
extent of the interaction was, but over the brail he went.
Since a fired apartment said thirty seven firefighters were dispatched
to the bridge to try to rescue him. He was

(01:00:59):
pulled out out of the water, successfully taking to UC
Medical Sin with non life threatening injuries. Now charged with
felonious sault and domestic violence. Mary Mount Police Polkson said
his identity is not being released at this time. That
would be the time of the Cincinnati Empiryor's reporting on
the matter. Policia looking for an armed and dangerous guy
west Price Hillman who's been accused of fatally shooting another

(01:01:22):
man in mount Airy earlier this month. Edinson Anthony Guacia Ascanio,
thirty years old, got a worn out facing murder charges,
hasn't been arrested, should be considered armed in dangerous. According
to the police news release, Escanello's charges in connection with
the death of a twenty six year old Johnny Jesus

(01:01:44):
Mercado Perez, both of them have foreign names anyway, who
was killed after being shot in the five thousand block
Hawaiian Terrace on October twelfth. Court document show on Mercado
Perez and Ascanillo were at a birthday party. They got
into a verbal fight, leading to Escanio shooting Mercado Perez.
Witness positively identified Ascanio as a shooter and apparently Mercado

(01:02:08):
Perez was not even armed at the time. Homicide Unit

you can call the homicide department. But I just say
with crime stoppers, it's easy to remember five one, three, three,
five to two thirty forty ah, but crimes dan here

(01:02:32):
at the conclusion of this article, According to police data,
there have been fifty five reported homicides citywide this year.
There have been fifty seven reported homicides this time a
citywide last year. We call that a success. Two men,
prosecutors say put a thirty thousand dollars bounty on a

(01:02:55):
victim among four suspect charge and a killing that happened
well almost a decade ago. Brandon Webster thirty three Romelo
Stephen Wheeler thirty accused of offering thirty grand to kill
Kareem Howell back in twenty sixteen. Hamilton County Prosecutor's Offices
said Charlie Day twenty nine and Darius Holly thirty two
led Howell into a wooded area in Westwood and then

(01:03:16):
fatally shot him. Howl was targeted because he was involved
in at least one home invasion in robbery where Webster's
mom was terrorized. After Daily and Holly presented proof of
the killing, Webster and Wheeler paid the bounty. According to
the prosecutor's office, three of the four men were in
custody when they were indicted October twenty third by the
Hamilton County Grand jurand multiple charges and connected with the

(01:03:37):
killing of Howell Wheeler, now in federal prison serving a
twelve year sentence for drug trafficking. Federal prosecutors have described
him as a career drug trafficker who, along with his dad,
used a luxury apartment in Pendleton to store drugs and
conduct drug transactions. Daly previously has drug convictions, been in

(01:03:57):
the Hamilton County Justice Center since October of twenty five,
twenty two, after being charged in connection with a killing
from the summer of that year. Holly in state prison
serving one and a half years for drugging gun convictions.
That's a quality cast of characters involved in that, and
le's see we get one more in here in the

(01:04:18):
remaining time. Construction worker injured after being hit by a vehicle,
leading the driver to being arrested. This according to the
Kenton County Sheriff's Departments, who said they were called to
the Madison Pike to Madison Pike near Waynman Drive for
reports of a pedestrian hit by a car. It happened
Saturday at almost two o'clock in the afternoon, construction worker
directing traffic when a man driving a pickup hit him,

(01:04:39):
causing what is described as injury. Construction worker taking a
ec medical center for treatment. His condition listed his stable
driver the pickup truck arrested shortly after the incident, being
charged with felonious assault, and at the time of the
reporting from Fox nineteen's digital staff was being held in
the Kenton County Detention Center. Real quick here, I was

(01:05:00):
so sad to see this, you know, I got Tom
Brenneman within twenty feet of me, and I saw the
Cincinna Reds and now have to investigate the recently unveiled
Marty Brenneman's statue. The microphone, of course, Marty, you know
I did the commentary for the Reds for forty six years.
Microphone part of the statue is broken off. They say
it's not clear whether the damage was due to vandalism

(01:05:22):
or not, but something tells me they probably have cameras
in the area. Sorry to see that, though. At six

to eight oh five Money Money with Brian James, how

(01:07:10):
the shutdown is affecting well, maybe not everything, but a
lot of things. Gas prices remain flat eighty two dollars
and eighty cents or something the other day for regular gasoline.
That's amazed at that. Betsy sentnamon We're gonna hear from
Betsy Judge Sentnomon eight thirty liberal judges. If elected one
to en act smart justice, she is going to let

(01:07:32):
everyone know what the hell smart justices. She'll be on
the program at eight thirty, and then we're gonna hear
from the Cincinna via Joe Beeth Akerson with some incent
information about the Cincinnava, whose services apparently have not been
impacted by the shutdown. Let's turn to Christy Nome. Christy Nohome,
US Secretary of Homeland Security, in an open letter to everyone,
stating the obvious but hammering home some great points. Fast

(01:07:54):
forward past her. Charlie Kirk comments and boiling down the
reality of leftists dream is, who, she says, are waging
war on the rule of law, liberty, and our way
of life. I can't agree with her. More on that
terrorist gang members and rioters routinely attacking federal law enforcement
officers working to reimpose order after years of chaos under
the Biden administration. Remember they're doing their job, she writes.

(01:08:20):
Our officers have been shot and assaulted. They face death threats, dosing,
and confrontations in their homes. Spot Her networks in Chicago,
linked to street gangs and Mexican cartels, track the movements
of officers for customs and border protections as well as
immigration customs enforcement, relaying locations and enabling ambushes during routine

(01:08:41):
enforcement operations. This run, by interjecting here, run by street
gangs and Mexican cartels who're trying to keep ahead of
the ICE agents who will pick them up and send
them out of the country. This kind of effort also
coordinated by our elected members of Congress and encouraged by

(01:09:03):
certain governors. I mean, I feel like we're at a
moment of crisis here in our country. Stating it lightly anyway,
she points out this month, a member of the Latin Kings.
That's a gang charged with putting a bounty on him,
the life of a border patrol commander, a guy named

(01:09:24):
a large, Gregory Bovino or Gregory Bovino, he's the border
patrol commander at large. The illegal alien. Oh, she's a
racist because she definitionally is accurate by saying illegal alien. Sorry,
going back to my comments about Brandon Johnson. Anyway, the
illegal alien charge of placing a bounty was arrested, pleaded
not guilty, facing justice. The incident shows how enormous risk

(01:09:47):
law enforcement officers are facing to make our cities safe again.
The self styled anarchist website in Portland, Oregon, encouraged supporters
to use high powered laser pointers to bring down federal
helicopters in the air that can blind a pilot and
Dallas and an anti ICE terrorist opened fire on ICE facility,

(01:10:08):
intending to kill the officers. I know you remember about this.
One ended up killing two of the detainees. Alorado, Texas,
at if A terrorists ambushed ICE officers and a detention facility,
wounding a local police officer in the neck. Despite all
this pro crime, politicians seemed intent on dismissing the violence,
even encouraging it by stripping protections from law enforcement officers.

(01:10:30):
That is why our officers wear a mask. Protecting their
identity is one way to prevent bad actors from targeting
their homes and threatening their families. Some politicians wanted to
prive officers of this protection, knowing that doing so puts
their lives in grave danger. They tell local police to
stand down while federal law enforcement officers fight for their lives.

(01:10:54):
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law purporting to ban
federal law enforcement from wearing masks on duty. Illinois Governor J. B.
Pritzker has threatened federal officers with prosecution for enforcing immigration law.
Federal law on the books. ANTIFO continues its attacks on

(01:11:15):
law enforcement and innocent civilians in Portland, while quote unquote
leaders hamstring the local police. Let me think about that.
We live in a country where our local law enforcement
officers are being told not to help brother officers, yes,
a different uniform, but law enforcement officers working for the
federal government enforcing federal law who are victims of state

(01:11:39):
law crimes. If some ANTIFA guy throws a brick and
hits a federal officer, yes they may be charged with
a federal crime. But a local police officer who witnesses
something like that owes it to the community to arrest
the person throwing the brick because they violated state law
in accosting someone in doing grievous bodily armed to them.

(01:12:03):
State law still applies regardless of who that person is
being hit with a brick. Christy nolemans that she met
with Portland Mayor Keith Wilson last month to requests more
security measures for our law enforcement officers, federal ones who've
been under attack for months in his city. Mister Wilson
responded by publishing an op ed attacking federal law enforcement

(01:12:23):
officers for doing the job he refuses to do. Nol
interjecting stateum is known that it's not necessarily the local
folks job to protect federal property and to protect federal officers.
There are federal laws with US government, but because it's
property and people, state law applies to it as well.
And if this weird period in time wasn't going on,

(01:12:46):
rewind to an era when Donald Trump was not president.
I assure you that the Portland law enforcement officials, if
you're spray painting a federal building or throwing a Molotov
cocktail out of it, would have arrested you for violation
state law. And then maybe some ecal local US attorney
would have charged you with federal law for doing that.
But at least the local police department would have done

(01:13:07):
their job. Not anymore, they've been told not to. How
colossally screwed up is that Portland's problems go well belong
beyond me. Refuse to enforce it the law, Its city
council continues to cut police bureau's budget. Portland ranks forty
eighth among the America's fifty largest cities in the ratio

(01:13:29):
of policing staffing the population. Meanwhile, leftists, rioters, antifah, terrorists,
and violent criminals run wild. That's why the federal government
must step in and force the long stand up to
the violence that these politicians cannot or will not confront,
as it did in Memphis, Tennessee, Chicago, and the District
of Columbia. President Trump is tackling the crisis head on,

(01:13:52):
including designating ANTIFAD domestic Terrorist Organization. Meanwhile, the mainstream media
continues to demonize ICE and Department of Homeland Secure the officers,
contributing to the one thousand percent increase in assaults on
officers this year compared with last year. Shouldn't be surprised
Democrats won't anounce Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones text

(01:14:12):
messages wishing violence on his political opponents and their young children.
At No King's rallies, many Democrats gave speeches and made
common cause with protesters, reveling in violent symbolism, mocking Charlie
Kirk's assassination, and calling for ICE agents to be gunned down.
The threat goes beyond criminals, rioters, and terrorists themselves to

(01:14:34):
their enablers, including a network of nonprofits the support extremist ideology,
recruit pro crime district attorneys, and pay to release violent
criminals on bond. This climate of political violence is against
everything our founders wanted, and let me stop right there
and just say, you know what, isn't that a revealing thing?

(01:14:55):
And doesn't that answer the question on why they're doing this. Yes,
they're against anything our founding fathers want. Their belief system
is predicated on the notion that our founding fathers were
inherently racist and evil. The mere fact that they were
white people and some of them had the audacity to
own slaves. Not something that I'll forgive, but something that

(01:15:15):
was a real thing going on back then. Hearts and
minds of people have changed. We have a different perception
of reality. We know black people are human beings and
they always should have been perceived that way, Thank God
for evolution. But because of that background fact everything they
did was inherently evil and wrong, and that we should
undo everything that they did. They created the greatest, most powerful,

(01:15:38):
most economically successful country in the world has ever known.
They created a place where a table has been set
for literally anyone who chooses to participate and sit down
at the table and enjoy the benefits and fruits of
their own labor and merit. That's what they want to
tear down. That's the point of all this against everything
our founders wanted six forty nine to fifty five k

maybe ultimately bring the house down. You don't want any

got an ipt piece from AFT Pervol trying to tell
you what he accomplished and all the great things he
accomplished in the last four years. Really yeah, I can
get into the details on that because I have a
feeling Christopher may want to comment on that. Early voting
is open, saying again what everyone should already know. But

(01:17:52):
since Christopher told me, a lot of people didn't even
realize we have an election next week as he goes
knocking door to door in the various neighborhoods. I found
that to be a very fri frightening, frightening and kind
of bubble bursting reality for me. Like to think more
people pay attention to politics than they do. But if
you don't even know in elections coming up, most important
election for the city of Cincinnati, given it's going to

(01:18:14):
determine who's going to be running the city for the
next few years, yeah, that we have a major problem
on our hands. Anyhow, So you can vote today, make

One week from tomorrow the election, anywall described as an
opinion contributor as opposed to the mayor of the City
of Cincinnati, A have to have Parvall getting some print

(01:21:19):
in the Cincinnati Inquirer. Let's see what Aftab has to say,
and you can draw your own conclusions on whether there's
anything to show for his last four years. He starts
out four years ago, this city Council and I entered
office amid historic crises. We faced the city rock a
city hall rocked by corruption. In case you don't know

(01:21:41):
what he's referring to, because he didn't break it down
too much, that'll be the Gang of five, including Greg Lansman,
all Democrats, meeting behind the scenes, making decisions before they
were in public, before their comments were reflected in public,
knowing full well in advanced what was going to pass
and what wasn't because they all coordinated the refferens behind
the scene, which violates the open meeting records. That's the
corruption he's referring to, notably all Democrats. He goes on

(01:22:07):
a budget gutted by the pandemic. Well, he didn't mention
anything about the millions and millions of dollars the federal
government gave to the county as well as the City
of Cincinnatian form of pandemic relief. But we'll ignore that
community is devastated by COVID nineteen. We knew we had
to rebuild trust, trust in our institutions, and trust in
a system that had already left so many of us behind.

(01:22:30):
You know, I did a quick survey and looked back
over who ran the city of Cincinnati. You can go
all the way back forty full years. Last time we
had someone who wasn't a Democrat running the city. It
was a charter right named Arn Boords. You remember Arn.
Thereafter Charlie Luke and Democrat, David Mann Democrat, Dwight Tillery Democrat,
Rock stand Qualls Democrat, Charlie Luken Democrat, Mark Mallory Democrat,

(01:22:52):
John Cranley Democrat, and then have to have Purwall Democrat.
So where did the trust in leadership, trust an institution,
in trust in a system that had left so many
people behind after forty years. I think the errors point
pretty clearly. The Democrats run in the city of Cincinnati.
Where did the trust go? I didn't have control of
the situation. Clearly, Republicans didn't anyway back to aff debt

(01:23:16):
opinion contributor. We didn't just promise progress, he's referring now
to himself and the current administration. We delivered laying the
foundations for a city built for the people who make
it great. Yeah, that doesn't say anything. This council and
I didn't just talk about affordability. We freed a third

(01:23:39):
of our city from medical debt. And don't even get
me started on that. When his medical debt that had
been written off, the medical providers were not going after
the citizens who incurred this debt had been written off,
and yet he went ahead and took credit for money
that had already been written off. So there's that one
hundred and ten thousand people who are now free to
build families, unburdened by over two hundred million dollars of debt,
the cost of simply staying healthy. You know, if you're

(01:24:04):
a weed dweller in the city of Cincinnati, if you
knew there was an election next Tuesday. You could read
that sentence and see right through it like I did.
It's easy to investigate the backstory on that one as well.
Back to Alften. This Council and I invested in our
city's next generation, creating baby bonds, savings accounts for underserved
preschoolers to one day pay for higher education. We even

(01:24:28):
the playing field, empowering citizens of any background to build
a generational wealth regardless of incomer zip code. Kind of
hollow in that explanation. Do you feel the playing field
has been even regardless of your incomer zip code? This
Council and I protect on our most vulnerable children, creating

(01:24:50):
access to legal counsel and emergency of victim fund, eviction
funds for housing insecure families. Tonight, over six hundred and
fifty families and hundreds of children and sleep safely in
homes secured through our interventions in that town full of
three hundred thousand or so people. There's six hundred and
fifty votes, I guess. But we didn't just to secure.

(01:25:14):
We didn't just secure our safety nets. We transformed our
antiquated systems to build a growing greater Cincinnati this council
took historic action slashing through the red tape, constricting growth
by comprehensively rezoning our city. I think he's referring to

(01:25:34):
connected communities, which a lot of neighborhoods weren't real thrilled
about because he didn't bother consulting with any given neighborhood
about what they might want for the direction of their
neighborhood development. Remember that whole High Park thing, the whole
Bond Hill thing, and then every other neighborhoods is now
covered by connected communities when they might not want to
follow the directors of connected communities that would be have
to have pur Ball taking credit for putting a one
size fits all solution to the entire city of Cincinnati

(01:25:57):
without regard for what the residents might want. And if course,
issuing a waiver when it came to connected communities being
applied to Hyde Park. No, No, they get a waiver,
I guess because it's a well connected developer doing the project. Okay,
and did they slash through red tape? Ask Corey Bowman
about that. How easy it is to get some new

(01:26:17):
project done in perhaps the West at here Right back
to purvol Not only are new residents arriving at the
fastest rate in decades. But we are also the first
city in Ohio to implement structural changes to accommodate our
growing population. Now, I'm going to ask someone out there
in the world. Are new residents arriving at the fastest

(01:26:42):
rate in decades into the city of Cincinnati? That runs
contrary to my anecdotal you know information from people who
just generally say they either fled or are planning on
fleeing the city of Cincinnati crime, What are the issues?
Back to AFTAB, this council and I didn't just promise
how development. We tripled the rate of affordable housing construction.

(01:27:05):
I can't answer whether that's sure or not. I don't
recall reading anything along those lines anyway. He pivots over
to our goal forty thousand new units in the next
ten years. Yeah, and what zero carbon emissions in the
next ten years. I have a goal too. Do I
think my goal is gonna come true? Yeah? Right, No,
I don't, But I've got a goal for the first

(01:27:29):
time in decades. He says, we are seeing positive momentum
towards that goal throughout our neighborhoods. But it's not just homes.
Thanks to our work rezoning, we took even boulder action
reimagining our city's cornerstone landmarks. This council invested in the
six hundred million dollar Convention Center renovations, solidifying Cincinnati as

(01:27:52):
the prime destination for global business and entrepreneurship. I think
a project that's been going on and preceded aftab Pervalls administration.
But that's okay. He also has taking credit for the
Brent's Brent's Bedge construction project. In the next sentence. We
won the single largest infrastructure granted American history, one point
six billion dollars to build the Brent Spence Companion Bridge.

(01:28:14):
By renovating a key rd re for the American commerce,
the path over two billion dollars of trade every day.
We also reclaim two city blocks of land and continue
renewing our urban core. Might I remind my listening audience
who probably remembers this already, Barack Obama is campaigning in
front of the Rens Benz Bridge project, promising to get
that thing done. This has been a glean and political

(01:28:37):
politician's eyes now for years and years. It happened to
have happened on his watch. You're gonna give have to
have pervall the credit for all of the groundwork and
all the trips back and forth to Washington, and all
the phone calls at all the politicians in Hamilton County,
Northern Kentucky, governors in both states have made to get
that project done over the years. Trump campaign in front

(01:28:59):
of it, Biden campaign in front of it. There's they
have to have coming in to take credit for the win.
And then over to this, we didn't just unleash the
engine to development. We funded growth in every single neighborhood. Fred,
you're out there, do you feel that way? Thanks to
this council's courage, we created the Railroad Trust Fund, seating

(01:29:23):
it with one point six billion dollars in more than
doubling our yearly investment into our city's renovation, our roads,
parks and facilities. Well, I'll give him credit for selling
the railroad as bad as I think that idea is,
and of course chrism And shares my criticism on that.
But how do you feel about the roads and parks
and facilities being renovated? Has anything been done yet? Has
Sunset been repaved yet?

Speaker 8 (01:29:46):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:29:46):
Cincinnati has an ongoing increase stream of dedicated funds. Yeah,
apparently they're not using for Cincinnati to grow, he writes,
we must, we must be free to build beyond just
bridges and businesses, but communities and families. We'll get rid
of the regulatory burden that's standing in the way, maybe
even connected communities we might feel free to build. And

(01:30:06):
then crime. That's why most of all this council and
I didn't just talk about crime. We tackled the public
safety concerns had on as a standalone statement. Some people
may be laughing right now. We are modernizing our public
safety system, investing nearly fourteen million to train new firefighters
and police officers, over four point five million to provide

(01:30:29):
them with state of the art equipment, at over eighty
million towards fleet renovation and facility modernization for our trucks, cruisers,
and stations. Those problems existed when he took office, and
only now is he saying that he is doing something
about him. You know, it's kind of funny. I went
and looked at all the COVID money that came in,
and it was a quote by Christopher Smithaman then vice mayor,

(01:30:53):
and then Councilman Steve Gooden, both whom we may bring back.
With regard to the OVID money coming in, we got
federal aid twenty twenty one two hundred and ninety one
million dollars. We got fifty one point two million dollars
in twenty twenty. Smithman and Goodin at the time said
they wanted the city to recruit more police with the
money and provide additional training for police to deal with

(01:31:14):
people that have mental issues. They signed a motion calling
for the funding, reminding people that the city police officers
had the contingent had already dipped below one thousand for
the first time in a decade. This is back in
twenty twenty one. Has anything happened. Has the contingent of
police increased or decrease sent since then? If you're not
paying attention, it's gone down. Seven eighteen fifty five kc

to the former vice mayor of the city. Since I
soon to be a counselman again, I'm praying and I'm
hoping the city is Cincinnati residents show up in for
us to vote for at least Christopher smithment for council
next Tuesday. Welcome back, Christopher. It's pleasure having you on
as always.

Speaker 8 (01:32:40):
Oh thank you so much for having me on. Just
to share with you my voice is a little shanky
a little weak, but that's just because we're working really hard,
a lot of order to or work. But let me
share this with you. Brian. First, thank you for acknowledging
the work that council Member Good and I were doing
pre emptive, being preemptive of what you're talking about, meaning

(01:33:01):
we saw the decline and police officers. This is what
is very important for your listening audience to digest. This
is a defund reimagine as a collective council. So they're
not interested in getting more officers because through attrition being

(01:33:24):
silent on the issue, they're getting what they want. They
want fewer officers, they want counselors responding to nine to
one calls. And clearly they've been sitting in the message
that they don't support cops. And so we've seen this
going on over the last four years with his mayor,
we've seen it with the members of council, and so

(01:33:44):
none of us should be surprised. I just want you
to know that they don't have to tell you it.
They're just allowing attrition to get them where they'd wanted
to be, which was defund in their minds. Reimagine higher
insultants higher counselors for nine one one calls and really
just undermine our law enforcement. And what has happened as

(01:34:08):
a result of that is we've see longer times response
times for our officers to get to you when you
need when you need help. We've seen youth take over
our downtown right where officers we don't have enough officers,
and then those officers that are there are really being
told not to do proactive policing, don't ask questions. This

(01:34:31):
mayor has just discovered in the last two weeks law enforcement.
Notice that you're saying, man, now it's the police chief.
She has become the scapegoat for his failure and this
city manager who is the CEO. So the reality of
it is is this has been a councilor sight this.
Really appreciate you highlighting that. Council Member Good and I

(01:34:52):
were trying to get ahead of what you see now
with attrition with our officers.

Speaker 1 (01:34:57):
And it's worse now than it was when you introduce
them to allocate the funds to hire police officers, isn't
it It is? I mean, we lost more than what's happening.

Speaker 8 (01:35:06):
Is we have because our officers are in drop two
hundred of them are saying I want to retire. I
know they can retire right now. To the community. We
can go from nine thirty to seven hundred and thirty overnight.
They can all walk away if they want to. And
if we keep harassing them and not allowing them to
do their job and not supporting them, You're going to

(01:35:28):
see a high attrition. You're going to see me if
God puts me in a position to be elected, you're
going to see me. Immediately focus on retention. How do
we retain those two hundred officers that are in drop
because we need them to help train the new officers
that we're bringing in. We don't want to just have

(01:35:49):
a young police force. They need those older trained officers
to do those that six months of training that's so
important for our officers. Well, this is a scary time community.
I'm hoping that citizens across the fifty two neighborhoods are
really thinking and they're voting right like their lives dependent

(01:36:09):
upon it, because we're seeing that it really does. Here's
the good news, Brian Thomas, you are really loved in
this community. I knock on doors and I'm not just
like shiny light on you in a way, just a
say it. It's the truth. You know. Whether I'm in Oakley,
which I was yesterday, I had a woman and she's listening.

(01:36:30):
She said, I always listen to Brian Thomas. And she
now has moved, I believe, to Tennessee, but she was
here visiting her son in Oakley. She took my literature.
She said, I always listen to Brian Thomas. I'm going
to take your literature into the house. Tell my son
that I want him to vote for you. I'm telling you,
I get this kind of I was in Columbia, Tusculum

(01:36:52):
couple came out, Oh yeah, I listened to Brian Thomas
all the time. He makes sense, he has comments, and
it doesn't matter where I go. And let me also
tell you one other thing, this notion that African Americans
who live in our city aren't listening to your show
because they're saying the same thing. Right. So the reality

(01:37:12):
of it is, we just have to do better with
participation because right now I've been told that only seven
people have voted. If that's true, that that is a
dismal number. Community. We've got to do better. We can't
just talk our way out of this. Love is a verb,
and if we really want to change things down in

(01:37:33):
city Hall, we really want to change what's happening in
the Mayor's office, You've got to hear my voice, you
got to hear Brian Thomas's voice. You gotta hear your
family and friends, and you got to get out and vote.
If you have somebody that's sick or shut in, somebody
that needs help getting to the ballot to go vote,
that you are obligated to make sure that those kinds

(01:37:53):
of things happen before the election on November fourth, are
on that day. And the last thing that I know,
because we're going to break there are so many traditional voters,
voters who do not believe. In thirty days, I heard
that on so many doors, whether it's Hyde Park or
Mount Lookout or Mount Washington, they're waiting to vote on
November fourth. If that happens, we're going to see a

(01:38:17):
major shift in what's happening here on council. If the
voter turnout continues to be very low and then all
of a sudden on November fourth, you see all the
traditional voters come out and say, you know what, I'm
going to weigh in on this election because many of
them are registered from the election last year. There's not
an issue of registration, Brian Thomas. This is an issue

(01:38:40):
of participation, amen. And so you can't talk, you can't
show up at your neighborhood pub and say you're frustrated
with what's happening, and then you don't vote.

Speaker 1 (01:38:52):
Christopher Smillman couldn't have said it any better. That's typically
the case. Bring back just a minute, don't go away
for me. Kind of been eighty years and we'reheating and cooling.

give you a list of candidates I'd vote for if
I was in the city of Cincinnati, but one thing
is for certain, I would definitely vote if given the opportunity. Christopher,
and I don't want to interject, but you've told me
that you've knocked on doors where people aren't even aware
that there's an election next week.

Speaker 8 (01:41:18):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (01:41:18):
I just that is mind blowing. That really is just impossible.
That shows that that particular could be voter never ever
doesn't even watch a local news show. I mean, you
couldn't watch Fox nineteen or something. And I know there's
an election coming up at some point, So not even
that amount of political input is in their life. So

(01:41:40):
that's a frightening reality.

Speaker 8 (01:41:43):
Yeah, it is. But the reality is that when I
knock on that door and I talk to the voter.
That's why it's so important to do some of the
door to door work that we do, is it does
inform them. They say thank you to us, thank you
for coming by and reminding, and thank you for personally
being here. It almost shocks them when they open the

(01:42:05):
door and there's somebody standing on the other side and
they're saying, hey, my name is Christopher Smitherman and I'm
I'm here knocking on your door asking you for your
vote and explain what my platform is, so that when
you go to the polls you vote, you're informed at
least about my candidacy. So the good news is it's
not like they're slamming the door going I'm not going

(01:42:27):
to vote. It's just that I don't know there's an election.
And some of you been said I don't know who
you are, which is which is a great hubbling experience
to pop my little bubble. Hey guy, who are you? Yeah, now,
i'd love to hear your story. I view that as
a as a as a as an opportunity because they're
not approaching me with this preconceived notion of who I am.

Speaker 1 (01:42:46):
That's a good point.

Speaker 8 (01:42:47):
I take that opportunity to share it, you know, and uh,
and then I keep it moving. But your show is
very popular across the city, and I just you know,
just the nice things they say about you and your
show and how they're informed about what is happening in
the news because they don't feel like our local paper,
The Inquirer, does a good job, and so they're searching

(01:43:09):
for places to get their local news. And you're one
of the places people are turning to. And it's not
just that they're turning to you because you're giving them news.
Here's what I want to say, is they trust you.
It's not that you're just giving them the news. Is
they're trusting what you're saying because there's so much distrust
out there about the news that they've been getting over

(01:43:29):
the last decade. And so it's very very interesting. People
are listening to you for local news. They're not going
to their Sunday paper anymore. They're saying, hey, man, let
me turn this radio station on at five or six
o'clock in the morning as I'm getting ready to figure
out what's going on in my city. And that is
not an exaggeration.

Speaker 1 (01:43:50):
Well, I sure appreciate it, Christopher. I mean I hear
that from you, and I hear it in almost absolute disbelief.
It's a pleasure knowing that you're talking to people who
listen to the program. Trust me, man, my only goal
is to search for and try to find truth amid
all of the what I would characterize as bs that's
floating around in the world. I want one's best for everybody.

(01:44:10):
I really truly do. And and I'll be critical, you
know me. I'd be critical of you if you started
running a foul of my.

Speaker 10 (01:44:20):
Past.

Speaker 8 (01:44:21):
You have been. We haven't always agreed, and that's what's
so healthy and we and we we are good friends.
But here's what I'll also share with you is that
people will say, you give them the facts, then they
can inform there they feel informed. Then you say, hey, okay,
here's my opinion about the fact. Path right. It's not
like you're like telling them just all your opinions. You're

(01:44:42):
like saying, here are the facts, here's my opinion about
the facts. What are yours? And I think that's the
difference that people are getting is just like that puff
piece that you're talking about that the mayor just wrote
right and put it in the paper. It's nothing but lies.
You're reading that and you're going there, this is nothing
but lies that the mayor has put in the paper

(01:45:03):
as a puff piece trying to convince. But guess what,
because the news journalism they're either lazy because they're not
challenging what he's written, or they are literally colluding with
his campaign to try to undermine the person he's running against,
Corey Bowman. But it's bad either way. That's why you're
reading that. So we could listen to the hypocrisy and

(01:45:24):
all the lives.

Speaker 1 (01:45:25):
Yeah, I you know, if someone had a lot to
show for their administration, this article or this op ed
piece from Mary after that parvow would have sounded a
hell of a lot different. I mean, he could have
just listed one after another all of his major accomplishments
that have happened over the last four years. And all
I see is, you know, we've you know, we rebuilt trust.
Did you mean what does that mean? Our goal is

(01:45:50):
forty thousand the units over the next ten years. Well
wait a second, you haven't built any because he did
you say, we've already built this many units. Our goal
We just he just set that goal. Most recently, so,
I mean again, it's just this. It's almost like a
dodge or a dodge dib duck, dive and dodge kind
of five to use a dodgeball kind of thing. It

(01:46:10):
sounds like he's actually done something, but it's just a
fluffy statement we delivered laying the foundations for a city
built for the people who make it great. What does
that mean? What specifically did he do that makes the
city great for the people who live there. I'm sort
of it. I'm waiting for it, looking for it. I
still can't find it, even after reading his own words.

Speaker 8 (01:49:24):
That is absolutely right. I want to really before I
get off, just talk about again the termination of police
Chief Figi. It was very it was done in a
very disfunctional way. And to have this is a detail
last Wednesday when all members of council came together after

(01:49:49):
the termination. This was on Wednesday, not one member of
council set a thing. Not a thing, community, how is
your police? She fired in this kind of way, and
you don't ask one question. Nobody. It's as silent on
the issue as if it's not happening. This is like

(01:50:09):
Procter and Gambles CEO is terminated and the border directors
get together and nobody talks about it. Well, if it's
a private company, it's behind closed doors. But this is
a public body, and so the public body right, there's
a demand for them to speak to the issue of
one of your top directors. Anybody in any city would say,

(01:50:32):
who are your top directors? Police and fire? You just
terminated your police chief in the most grotesque way, and
not one member of council had a question for anything.
Speak to it. What's happening. Reassure us about what's going on, Briant.
This is what is so dysfunctional about having all nine

(01:50:52):
Democrats a Democratic mayor, because you're getting this group think
and this mayor is hurting them. When I say heard,
I'm saying in a figurative way, he's basically saying, Hey,
don't say anything about this before the election. We're gonna
deal with this after the election. We're going to pay
her a lot of money after the election, because that's

(01:51:14):
what's going to often ultimately happen. But no reassuring that
they are providing the oversight, that that's why we elected
them to be there.

Speaker 1 (01:51:23):
Well, you're I think you're right in anticipating a check
will ultimately be written to Police Chief Fiji forget her wrongful.
You know, administrative lead placement are ultimately firing. We don't
know what struction it's going to go. But this is
Act number two. They did this to the police chief
or fire chief Washington. They set themselves up wrongful termination.
Was that not under our current administration's watch? Christopher?

Speaker 8 (01:51:47):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:51:47):
Yeah, how about that.

Speaker 8 (01:51:48):
That's the same city managers terminating now the fire chief
and the police chief. And you're telling here's the other
thing members of council could have done this week. Two
members of council could emotion to call a special session
of council immediately convenience. It only takes two, you're telling me.
Out of nine members of council community with the firing

(01:52:11):
up your police chief, there are two members of council
that are willing to call a special session to bring
the city manager in and say what is going on?
Make it make sense? Explain it to us, Christmas. Not one,
I mean we don't have two.

Speaker 1 (01:52:28):
Well, we all know how it's set up. Remember Issue
five that gave the power of hiring and firing to
the city manager and the mayor exclusively. They are exclusively responsible.
In other words, they're the two people to home treatment.
Any police chief or any fire chief reports to. They
are their respective bosses. Correct, Okay, they take the reactive
from their bosses just like we all do out here

(01:52:49):
in the real world. We do what our bosses tell
us to even if we think it's stupid. This is
a rethink, reimagine defund the police administration. Gee, I can
only imagine what direct is purvoll and long game to
police Chief Diji in the doing of her business or
her job, and ultimately, within a couple of weeks of
him standing arm in arm in him praising her and
how great a job that she's been doing for the city,

(01:53:11):
ends up placing your administratively because while things are bad,
but he just woke up to three out. He's been
telling us for the last three years how crime is
not a problem, only to wake up right in events
of the election, to realize maybe the people think crime
is a problem, maybe crime actually is a problem. I
gotta find somebody to blame. It must be the police chief.
She's running the system wrong, huh okay? And who's directed

(01:53:34):
was she operating under? And whose instructions was she following.
It's like, look in the mirror. I have to have
the reason you're firing her is because she was doing
what you were telling her to do.

Speaker 8 (01:53:42):
Right there lies a million dollar check. They're going to
have to write her right, and so then you you
insult us by saying you're now going to hire an
outside consultant to bury her right. She has nothing in
her record community for thirty five years, nothing in her file.
Think about your self, any but professional out there who's working,

(01:54:03):
there's nothing in your file. You've given the institution thirty
five years, and now they're going to hire some outside
person to come in and evaluate her job after I've.

Speaker 1 (01:54:13):
Wired her Hindsight's twenty twenty, isn't it, Christopher? Oh, look,
we found a skeleton from twenty five years ago. She
should have done something, but she did something differently, and
so in spite of the fact that didn't make it
into her permanent record, and she wasn't reprimanded otherwise held
accountable for what she did back then, we're gonna do
it now. That's that's a setup for disaster, right there,

(01:54:36):
a setup for it.

Speaker 8 (01:54:37):
And Westside voters are fired up, buddy, I can tell
you that. Now. I don't know if that translates to
them coming out and participating in the political process and voting,
but I can tell you that places like Saddamsville and
Price Hill, and places like Western Hills, which is where
she was to high school and Westwood. Look, buddy, they

(01:54:57):
are fired up and they're watching it. We just don't
know if it's going to translate to that registered voter
actually taking the action and taking five to ten minutes
out of their schedule and coming in voting on November
the fourth. We don't know, but I can tell you
they are very, very concerned about this council. The other
news that I can share with you is I heard

(01:55:18):
this all over Columbia, Tusco. I heard it in a
mount lookout or hide Park. I'm just want to make
sure bond Hill or Roselan, I'm a Democrat, listen. I'm
not voting for any of them on council. The Democratic
Party has left me. I don't even know this party.
I can't tell you how frequently I heard that from

(01:55:42):
people in Cincinnati. So some people are saying I'm not
showing up, which I encourage them to make sure they
do show up, you know, whatever's going on. You know,
we need you to show up however you're going to vote, participate.
But they are telling me they're very concerned collectively about
this administration, this Democratic administration and Democratic council and they're

(01:56:04):
saying it is the worst they have ever seen. Now
I can tell till the community. I am not exaggerating
when I tell you we've been working hard. We've been
knocking on a lot of doors, and we're talking to
people who are very wealthy, people who are middle class,
working every day, people who don't have a lot of resources.
And the message is could have a silent majority of

(01:56:26):
a drum beat that they are very concerned about the
direction of this city. And I think that those voters
that are coming out are going to come out and
send a message everybody isn't going to return on this council.
I really believe that, And I think if more voters
come out, we could have a major upset in the
mayor's office. Harder to do, but we can have it

(01:56:46):
because people are fed up with like like this uphed
that you're that you're reading, which is so disconnected from
the reality of the voter. They don't get it, they
don't understand.

Speaker 1 (01:56:57):
Sounds like you have a note of optimism in your
voice on turnout, Christopher. I can only pray that you
are right in that regard. And again, one final effort
to get the listeners to go out and vote, and
for those outside, listen real quick here Christomer Corey Bowman
had the biggest fundraiser so far of his campaign. That
event I spoke about in Wyoming. Wyoming isn't even part

(01:57:17):
of the city of Cincinnati, but their lives are so
impacted by what happens in the city. And one of
the messages to the group was listen, if you don't
live in the city, and you don't, you're here in Wyoming,
you have businesses there, and the people raise their hand. Yes,
you have friends that live in the city. People raise
their hands and said, yes. Everybody knows somebody that's in
the city of Cincinnati and lives there. Call them up
and encourage them to vote. It's the only thing you

(01:57:39):
can do with you're outside. You don't have an ability
to really sway anything other than write a check. And
we're fast approaching the election, so maybe those efforts are
really kind of gone by the wayside. But you can
still make a phone call and express a few words
of encouragement and hope for a change in the direction
of the city of Cincinnati. It'd be good for everyone
in the try, including my friends out in Warren County

(01:58:02):
and Claremont County and Boone County and northern Kentucky. We're
all impact of what these guys on council do. Christophers
there are we are.

Speaker 8 (01:58:10):
Hey, Brian, let me just say this to you. I
was invited that this past week to go to OTR
and Mohawk, those two communities came together and had a
meet and greet. Okay, they are very impacted by crime,
just like you said. They're investing heavily in property there
business that are businesses that are located there. And they're

(01:58:32):
all telling me listen to me. I mean, one guy
held up his phone and used some profanity and I
won't disclose that. But they're so angry that they feel
like this council, in this mayor they completely abandoned them
after they've invested so much money in the OTR and
in Mohawk, and they feel like they've just been completely abandoned.
And so I'm sharing with you them inviting me into

(01:58:54):
their home. And this was a large swath of people
who lived the business owners, people that live in those neighborhoods. Boy,
they are really hot and they are not casting votes
for collectively for this, for this, for this particular council.
Thank you for allowing me to have a voice here.
Brian Thomas, you're the man.

This is a Bloomberg Money minute. The strike continues at
Boeing factory. Workers in Saint Louis rejected a new five
year contract that would have boosted pay by twenty four percent.
The nearly three month walkout has disrupted Boeing's main military
manufacturing hub. Boeing has fallen behind on some fighter jet deliveries.
Turning to the markets, a feder Reserve is expected to

(02:02:36):
deliver a second straight interest rate cut this week to
support a wobbly job market. Plus, we get a pulse
check on tech as we get earnings results from the
likes of Apple and Amazon.

Speaker 4 (02:02:46):
How did that?

Speaker 15 (02:02:46):
Stock futures are seeing gains This past Friday. Data showed
inflation rose in September at its lowest pace in three months,

It's time for a Monday Monday with Brian James, brought
to you well by loan all were Financial giving him
a half hour off every Monday to give us some
great information about money management and of course breaking down
how all the ways to shut down is killing us.
Brian James go. Bengals, snatchy day, snatching defeat from the
jaws of victory once again. Sorry head to start there.

(02:03:54):
We kind of do that every once in a while,
you know, and it tends to be against the Jetsy.
I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. I think it was
two thousand and nine, and it happened right after they
lost to the Jets in the playoffs. So I have
a lot of bad associations with the Bengals and the Jets.

Speaker 20 (02:04:09):
Even putting my health at risk. Fair enough, I'm blaming
them for that.

Speaker 8 (02:04:14):
Wow.

Speaker 12 (02:04:14):
Something game.

Speaker 1 (02:04:16):
I think you were too connected to the game if
your health is impacted by it, Brian James got to
start taking care of yourself. Ignore sports. Don't let it
bother you to ignore this. Yeah, that's right. You got
to live in Cleveland, where the state of oho taxpayers
will give you an extra six hundred million dollars to
enjoy a football game. Anyway, that's not why we're talking today.
We're talking today mostly about the shutdown, and there's like

(02:04:37):
nine ga jillion articles out in the world floating around
about what's impacted, what's not. What we do know is
hit over the weekend. Staffing issues prompted some shutdowns at
airports hours worth not you know, like day's worth. But
it's not that they've been fired. The Federal Aviation Administration workers,
air traffic workers. I guess we'd like to have a paycheck,

(02:04:57):
and when they're not getting one, they call in sick.

Speaker 9 (02:05:00):
Yeah, that is what happens.

Speaker 10 (02:05:02):
You know.

Speaker 20 (02:05:03):
It's amazing that when the illness tends to spread around
the office, when when the employer has decided not to
pay you for a while and kind of expects that
to just be a patriotic thing that you take on,
But that's kind of where we are at the moment.

Speaker 9 (02:05:14):
There's a little bit of history in this.

Speaker 20 (02:05:15):
Of course, this happened in the early eighties under the
Reagan administration, where the air traffic controllers went on strike
and we're effectively told it was illegal and forced to
come back to work.

Speaker 9 (02:05:25):
And so we do have that. It's not that there's
nobody working at all.

Speaker 20 (02:05:28):
There's about thirteen thousand air traffic controllers that are still
coming and doing the job, but they're not being paid
during this and the FAA is already short about thirty
five hundred and four thousand controllers before this shutdown. So
of course, yes, as you mentioned, we're seeing sick calls,
staffing shortages. The union has warned that these conditions are
introducing safety and operational risks. This is all fairly predictable,

(02:05:50):
you know, kind of responses here. And it's not that
they got nothing. There was about a ninety percent paycheck
earlier in October, but as at the end of October,
they'll they'll face a zero paycheck during the shutdown.

Speaker 9 (02:06:01):
At this drags on.

Speaker 1 (02:06:03):
Okay, if it news right, how great, it's great news. Well,
looking at some of the other things air traffics one thing,
their critical employees. They're paychecks building up in the background.
They'll ultimately get it all back, as is the case
with most But what about people out in the real world.
I see the USDA is telling people that SNAP benefits
are going to expire. Forty one million people get SNAP benefits,

(02:06:26):
and I guess that deadline or a cutoff is fast approaching.
So are they going to get in front of this?
Is this actually happening for SNAP benefits?

Speaker 20 (02:06:37):
Well, so the USDA, that's the Apartment of Agriculture, they've
warned that Snap's got funding through October twenty five, just
through this month, but if the shutdown drags on, then
the money will not be there to pay full benefits
in November, and that's going to affect about forty two
million people. There are some states out there, notably Pennsylvania
and Texas, that have started kind of calling everybody's attention
that hey, this November may not be guaranteed. If you're

(02:06:59):
truly lying on this, you may may want to start
coming up with plan B. But Brian got to be honest.
If a lot of these folks had a Plan B,
they're probably not on SNAP.

Speaker 1 (02:07:07):
To begin with.

Speaker 9 (02:07:07):
But who knows.

Speaker 20 (02:07:08):
For those of me not know, SNAP is a fully
federally funded program. That's where the benefits themselves come from.
It's a little bit like Medicaid, where the money comes
from the federal government, but it's administered by the individual states.
So that means the timing and the ability to distribute
those benefits depend heavily on the states receiving the funds
and then being able to deliver them themselves.

Speaker 1 (02:07:29):
All right, well, what about military pay? I know Trump
kind of finagled eight billion dollars away from other areas
of government in order to keep the military folks paid. Obviously,
they rejected the concept and failing to pass the bill
that would have kept military paid, among other folks who
are critical to our nation, decided not to go down
that roadty or fifty four to forty five against the

(02:07:50):
Republican bill by John Johnson and Wisconsin active duty members
would have been paid. I thought that might have gone through,
but Democrats want to keep all the hostage taking in play.
But at some point America's military is going to be
paid in this one hundred and thirty million dollar donation,
and say what you will about it, whether or not
it's lawful. Does this person have some you know, issues

(02:08:11):
he wants to be dealt with politically, and by giving
one hundred and thirty million dollars to help pay the military,
is he trying to buy favors or not. I don't
even want to address that. I just want to point
out to the fact that one hundred and thirty million
dollar gift, while admirable and something that you and I
probably couldn't do, that ain't gonna last very long.

Speaker 20 (02:08:27):
Yeah, that sounds like a lot of money until you
realize that the military payroll is about six and a
half to seven and a half billion dollars every two weeks.
That's how much goes out in paychecks during the shutdowns,
so that one hundred and thirty million dollars looks like
an eye popping number, but it's really not. It's not
going to move the needle very much. It's more of
a political headline. So there is There was a govern
a bill introduced, the Pay Our Troops Act of twenty

(02:08:49):
twenty five that that is supposed to guarantee pays basically
intended to remove military pay from the kinds of things
that can be that go away during these shutdowns, but
that has not been enacted yet, and so it's not
going to help us during this particular time. So the
Department of Defense, though, has stated that service members are
going to receive back pay once the funding comes back.
In those are words. You know, we'll see how the

(02:09:10):
timing and the certainty of all this remains. But at
least the words were said that back pay will be coming.
But you know, to be honest, Brian, I've heard the
opposite about other parts of government as well. And yeah,
we'll see what actually comes to play, won't we.

Speaker 1 (02:09:22):
Yes, we will. And the apparently that the what are
they calling him vote, the guy that was going to
fire little everybody do the work that Doge was supposed
to do. Apparently that's not happening either. I went into
a couple of wrinkles. They tried to fire people and
then found out what, we can't fire.

Speaker 20 (02:09:37):
Them, right, And then we've mysteriously top talking about Doze
at all, because it turns out the US federal government
is a little more complicated than He's just eliminating stuff wholesale.

Speaker 9 (02:09:47):
Let Who saw that coming, Brian? Why didn't they tell us?

Speaker 1 (02:09:51):
I just yeah, it's like the peace of God, that
one's another one that just passes all human understanding for me.
Out in the private sector, our jobs are not secure.
We're usually considered employment and subject to the whim of
whoever is our boss or manager. Anyhow, what about my
VA fends out there? I understanding is VA benefits are
going to continue, And since I have this, since ANYVA
coming up at the end of this hour, I'd like

(02:10:12):
to know whether or not that's got some truth to it.

Speaker 9 (02:10:14):
Well, yeah, so the VA.

Speaker 20 (02:10:16):
Of course is tied to this as well. And so
this is just give everybod a little bit background. So
VA benefits, the core benefit payments, disability compensation, pension, education benefits,
like the post nine to eleven GI bill, that kind
of stuff. Those are considered mandatory spending and those are
expected to continue uninterrupted during the shutdown.

Speaker 9 (02:10:34):
Now, remember nothing is guaranteed anymore.

Speaker 1 (02:10:37):
A lot of times we.

Speaker 20 (02:10:37):
Just read words on paper and assume that that's the case.
So healthcare services through the VA knocking on wood furiously here,
medical centers, outpatient clents, and vet centers remain open and operating.
What is truly being affected and suspended. The VA outreach
program has been suspended already career counseling under the Veteran
Readiness and Employment Program that's been paused for new enrollments

(02:11:00):
and delayed for current participants. And then there are some
regional VA benefit offices closing down certain hotlines such as
the g I Bill hotline closed down now uh cemeteries.
While burials are continuing, uh there are there are some
other things being delayed such as headstone placements, grounds maintenance,
and some pre burial application type things. So definitely starting
to affect the VA as well, but it hasn't hit

(02:11:22):
those knock on wood core services yet.

Speaker 1 (02:11:24):
That's good retirees, veterans that are receiving some sort of
uh retirement benefit from from the federal government, their their
their pay is going to continue as well.

Speaker 20 (02:11:36):
Correct, Yeah, at the moment that that again, that's that's
part of those core types of services that that that involves.
If that happens, then obviously we're going to have a
massive hue and cry. It's one thing not to pay
the you know, the the currently military people serving the military.
It's another entirely to take the ones who have taken
their shots literally speaking and are not getting paid. So

(02:11:56):
that hasn't come up yet uh, that those are classified
as mandates spending. So I think it would be a
ways down the road that we would start start worrying
about retireee pension for military folks.

Speaker 1 (02:12:06):
And I saw the announce a cost of living increase
for folks out there on Social Security with two and
a half percent increase for cost of living that went through,
and the Social Security checks are going to continue to
go through as well, right, Brian, That is sure.

Speaker 20 (02:12:18):
We did have to recall some of those furloughed employees
to do the mask the number crunchs exactly.

Speaker 9 (02:12:23):
Yeah, cheers out, we need those after all.

Speaker 20 (02:12:25):
Okay, bring these folks back in because we got we
turned out they actually do do something. So yeah, they
came in and reworked those numbers, and yeah we'll be
The number itself isn't too shocking. We'll get a couple
percentage points, no big deal, that's not too surprising. Inflation
has been relatively tame. Remember when we talk about inflation
in this manner, we're talking year over year, not how
expensive stuff was six years ago versus now, So year

(02:12:47):
over year inflation hasn't been all that bad. Therefore it's
not filtering through to a huge soci security increase.

Speaker 1 (02:12:52):
It's about a point higher though they than they really hopeful. Right,
it's been hanging around at three percent when they're really
ideally looking for two.

Speaker 20 (02:12:58):
Yeah, and that two percent number that filters through to
a lot of different things that the federal government would like.
Two percent seems to be the well accepted kind of
happy medium of we got to have some inflation, otherwise
the world doesn't grow. But at the same time, if
we have too much, that's not good. So the happy
place is about two percent. We are currently somewhere two
and a half three percent.

Speaker 1 (02:13:17):
All right, Well, I don't know what they're waiting for.
I keep going back to the idea that the Republicans
didn't cut in passing the continuing Resolution. They left everything
in place at full Biden era spending levels, and that
was order to avoid the argument that it's the Republicans
and their evil cuts who are causing this shutdown. We
Democrats can't abide that. What they're arguing over is the

(02:13:40):
extension of the premium subsidies under Obamacare, which are and
in the law that they rode and they passed into law,
set to expire at the end of this year. I
really truly believe, and I don't think it's a big
jump to go to this conclusion that they expected that
the Democrats would still be in power, that Donald Trump
would not get elected, and they would extend those supplements

(02:14:01):
indefinitely to make Obamacare appear as if it's working when
and ultimately the American taxpayers shouldering the burden of the
premiums that are ultimately still going out to the health
insurance or the medical providers out there.

Speaker 20 (02:14:12):
Yeah, and for the past several decades, that's how we've
gotten things to pass. Everything has to have a sunset
on it. There were the second President Bush put some
tax cuts in place that expired, and that that's when
we first started talking about the sunset provision. Fancy word
to say this is going away at a certain date.
So that's the only way we can get stuff pushed
across the finish line anymore.

Speaker 9 (02:14:31):
And I think you're right.

Speaker 20 (02:14:32):
The gamble is always by the party in power that
gets it done, that they'll be in power to be
able to push that through. That happened for President Trump
because one of the features of the OBBB was to
lock in the twenty seventeen tax cuts, So that was
a little bit of a gamble. He basically threw himself
a Hail Mary from one administration, a second over the
Biden administration, and to himself in the third administration. And

(02:14:54):
so we're simply seeing the same thing. But it didn't
work out for Democrats the way they'd hoped.

Speaker 1 (02:14:58):
Fair enough. One more with Brian James to talk about gasoline.
I think in a positive light. I know I had
a good, positive gasoline full tank experience just the other day.
Will it stay at a reasonable price? More with Brian
James after I mentioned again Galaxy concrete coatings, and I said,
thank you Mike who point him out that because of
the torrential rain we're supposed to get on Wednesday, maybe

(02:15:19):
my daughter and our fiance's project won't get done, but
it's gonna get done. Getting that amazing Galaxy concrete coating
surface applied to their right now doesn't look very good
patio if you got it, doesn't look very good. Concrete service.
You want to change the diet of the way it looks.
You want to make it pop. You want to make
people go wow, gorgeous. That's why you want Galaxy concrete coatings.

(02:15:39):
Whether it's your garage floor, your driveway, a patio, a
pool deck, something like that. There's also commercial applications galore.
The products come in one hundred and forty plus different colors,
multiple different surfaces to choose from life time guarantee. I
think that's the coolest thing about it, because it's going
to look that great forever. That's the guarantee from Galaxy

(02:16:02):
Concrete Coatings. These folks have been out for more than
twenty years. The surfaces dry really quickly. You can use
them fairly soon after the application. But then again, I
don't know if they can apply it in the middle
of a downpour. So hopefully my daughter and Eric will
get it done on Wednesday, but if not, it's coming fast.
I'll be sure and put up before it after pictures
because it's going to look great. I know that upfront.
For you to get a creete free quote to see

(02:16:22):
the products, go to Galaxyconcrete Cotings dot com. That's Galaxyconcretecoatings
dot com.

Speaker 5 (02:16:28):
What's happening? They placed wagers on.

Speaker 1 (02:16:30):
Morning You fifty about parised talk stations, very very happy
Monday to Monday Monday. Brian James, So the world's gonna
all die. We're all gonna die because the government shutdown.
We heard what is going to close, what is not
going to close, what's getting held up? And the uh, well,
the ys and wherefores go along with the government shutdown.
Hopefully it'll end soon. But in the meantime, we do

(02:16:50):
have some good information out there in the form of
gasoline prices. I maybe you can answer the question here's
the fundamental question, because it's been asked of me, and
again I refer to it's like the peace of God.
I have no idea how a price of gasoline that
a local gas station can be, you know, three dollars
one day and then jumped to three dollars and fifty
cents the next day, and then be down to two

(02:17:11):
dollars and eighty cents maybe a week later. But that's
what's going on out there. But right now, nationally, at
least if you're not in California one of the other
crazy states, gasolinees comparatively affordable. Brian, what's going on?

Speaker 9 (02:17:23):
Yeah, we haven't talked about it in a long time.

Speaker 20 (02:17:24):
And I don't know about you, but I haven't seen
any of those I did that stickers on bumps from
either president.

Speaker 9 (02:17:30):
The old ones are gone. There's no new ones.

Speaker 20 (02:17:32):
We're not talking about gas right now. And we went
through you know, summer wasn't that long ago. You and
I went through the whole summer travel period without talking
about it at all.

Speaker 9 (02:17:40):
It just wasn't a topic.

Speaker 20 (02:17:41):
So the US national average price right now is about
three dollars and seven cents, and that's the demand is flat,
about eight and a half million dollars per day, So
we're just kind of hanging loose where we are. Of course,
as you mentioned, it's not that way everywhere. California, Hawaii, Mississippi,
and Tech I'm sorry, at California hawaii're in.

Speaker 9 (02:17:59):
The mid wars for gas.

Speaker 20 (02:18:01):
On the lower end, you've got Mississippi and Texas at
about two fifty. I guess that's because they're closer to
the gas that's where all the refineries are, and less
taxes and all that fun stuff. But the demand simply
has not pushed it that high at all this year,
and we were actually were below three dollars a gallon
earlier this year. There's some analysts out there cautioning that
this could be a warning sign of a slowing economy.

Speaker 9 (02:18:23):
I mean, that kind of makes.

Speaker 20 (02:18:24):
A little bit of sense, and the economy is slowing
just a bit, so not too shocking, but that's nothing
going on that it would make me change, you know,
what I'm doing on a daily basis.

Speaker 9 (02:18:32):
But that'said you have.

Speaker 20 (02:18:33):
Fuel prices have been in a place where we can
be very confident that that's not going to be the
top thing we're going to talk.

Speaker 1 (02:18:38):
About, right And that's a great thing. After so many
years of being at dominating the conversation, I'm pleased that
this is the direction we're on right now. I guess,
more broadly speaking, if the price of the regular gallon
of gasoline has gone down, has diesel gone down as well?
Because that impacts everybody, and that might be something that
could provide a measure of relief with all the inflation
we're dealing with.

Speaker 9 (02:18:57):
That's a great point.

Speaker 20 (02:18:58):
And for those of you who say, well, my car
takes on leaded I don't need diesel fuel, well, guess what.

Speaker 9 (02:19:02):
Everything you buy comes to you via diesel.

Speaker 20 (02:19:05):
So the US Energy Administration is expecting the average diesel
price to be about three sixty five a gallon in
twenty twenty five, three forty six and twenty twenty six,
so that the assumptions for that are relatively benign too.
We're not really worried that diesel prices are going to
go through the roof anytime soon. You know that said,
things change, As you mentioned in this area, things change

(02:19:25):
very very quickly. One hurricane hits a refinery somewhere and
all of a sudden, that causes a spike that circles
and circulates all the way through the.

Speaker 9 (02:19:32):
Entire supply line.

Speaker 20 (02:19:33):
So bear in mind that that there is always that risk,
but at the moment that's not high on the on
the radar of things.

Speaker 9 (02:19:39):
To be worried about.

Speaker 1 (02:19:40):
So nice to hear that, Brian James. Any other good
news you want to pass along before we part come
to this morning.

Speaker 20 (02:19:45):
You know, I'll just say that as I'm sitting down
with people doing for their financial plan reviews and all that,
everybody kind of sighs and says, I wish we were
in a more stable political environment. I didn't have to
be angry all the time. And this is people from
both sides. Brian, Oh yeah, but oh yeah. What they
come with the conclusion they come to is, Hey, I
can't control this, and b I need to not throw
a temper tantrum. And I need to make smart financial

(02:20:06):
decisions for myself and just exist in the world as
it is and not try to really think about trying
to change it because I cannot do that from my
standpoint with my own four O oneka, my own investments.

Speaker 1 (02:20:16):
So right now, you can fight to change the world.
You can talk about it. It's important to discuss the
issues that are largely out of our hands, but don't
let them ruin your day, right, Brian.

Speaker 20 (02:20:27):
That's exactly, and that's the point of doing a plan
in the first place. Just understand what position you yourselves
are currently in. Do not worry about what other people
are doing, except maybe your own family.

Speaker 9 (02:20:35):
Have a discussion with them.

Speaker 20 (02:20:36):
But at the same time, just control what you can
control and then you'll find the rest of it kind
of doesn't seem as intense.

Speaker 1 (02:20:42):
Brian James, appreciate your willingness come on the show, appreciate
all we're financial learning out every week, and take an
early break rather than take you over for another segment
because Judge Betsy Sunnimon's gonna come on. She's gonna tell
us what smart justice means. I don't know. I get
to find out something and learn something like I do
every day on the morning show. Brian, it's always great
talk with you have a great my friend will do
this again next Monday.

Speaker 9 (02:21:01):
I look forward to hearing her too. We'll talk to
you next week.

Speaker 1 (02:21:03):
Thanks brother. It'say twenty five ifty five cares of the
talk station. And before I mentioned odo exit, which I'm
going to shout out to Jack Morgan. I just read
a post that Jack Morgan put up on the Cincinnati
Then and Now site, and he put it up a
couple of days ago, and I didn't see it until now.
It is the most beautiful, allergy inspiring tribute to my dad.

(02:21:27):
I'm at a loss for words. Jack Man. I cannot
thank you enough. He did mention me, and I just
I'm ignoring what he the very very kind words he
wrote about me. But man, he went through my dad's
life and just under the caption I still think Granny
was real. You have an opportunity to head over to

(02:21:48):
the CINCINNTI Then and Now and look at Jack's post
from October twenty fourth at two eleven pm. I would
be honored if you did that. And it's just really
just the best summation of my father's legacy and his
commitment to the community and everything he did that I
think I've ever read really move me, Jack really did.
It's a twenty five right now now, I'll mention ODO

(02:22:09):
exit gets rid of everything except the stench of politics.

of them for years. There're are four different I think
it's four specific different oto exit products, and I've had
need for every single one of them over the years.

human oders, skunk, mold, mildew, smoke, some general odor, it's

Ingram fifty five kr and C the talk station. Hey
thirty one Here fifty five KRCD talk station. Very happy
Monday to you, Judge Betsy Sunderman.

Speaker 1 (02:24:27):
Elections have consequences, and we need Betsy's Sunderman in office.
She's got more experience than pretty much intoing in the bench,
got a great record. She cares about the city of Cincinnati,
and she understands crime, and she understands about bad guys
and what needs having to bad guys. Welcome back, Betsy Sunnerman.
It's great to have you on the morning show. And
I'll let my listeners know it's Betsy Sunderman with two

(02:24:48):
ends dot com. That's where you can figure out what
her policies are, a little opportunity to donate, get involved,
whatever you can do to get her elected. Election day
is next Tuesday. Betsy, welcome back.

Speaker 11 (02:24:59):
Thank you for having It's.

Speaker 1 (02:25:00):
Always a pleasure. I hope the campaign's going well for you.

Speaker 3 (02:25:04):
Yeah, I mean we're all exhausted, but it's only a
week left, so keep.

Speaker 1 (02:25:09):
Going, right, I know, amen, coming into the finish line
hopefully delivering a big win for the city. We could
use more people like you on the bench. So we
don't have smart justice. That's initial cap smart justice? What
the hell is that? And why would voting for you
prevent us from going down that road?

Speaker 5 (02:25:26):
Betsy Sunderman, Right, it sounds good.

Speaker 3 (02:25:28):
Smart is a good word, right. So our opponents are
publicizing this platform called smart justice. And I asked my
two little girls last night. I said, what do you
think smart justice means? And my twelve year old said,
I don't think you can add an adjective before the
word justice and have it mean the same thing.

Speaker 1 (02:25:47):
And I said, exactly from the mouths of babes, that's beautiful, right.

Speaker 11 (02:25:53):
So what is smart justice?

Speaker 3 (02:25:56):
Smart justice is a liberal, progressive movement in the court system,
and the main goals are to reduce mass incarceration and
to promote kind of a social worky style for the
judges instead of our traditional style. So, first of all,

(02:26:19):
mass incarceration is definitely not happening in Hamilton County anymore.
So I don't know why we need to promote the
reduction of mass incarceration. The jail's completely empty. We have
two hundred beds available all the time with no one
filling them.

Speaker 11 (02:26:37):
So if anyone's running on.

Speaker 3 (02:26:40):
The position of needing to lock people.

Speaker 11 (02:26:42):
Up less, I don't think that's possible. At this point.

Speaker 3 (02:26:45):
Nobody's really getting locked up anymore except by the few
Republican judges who are left. So that's a strange talking point.
And then as far as the social worky stuff, I'm
sure your listeners have heard about our probation departments now
in the criminal courts are rewarding criminals for good behavior.

(02:27:08):
They're giving them reds, tickets and different little prizes and right,
so this is part of the social workie. Someone referred
to it as the hug a thug philosophy, And instead
of rewarding someone by saying you are now off probation,
we are rewarding them with little prizes that regular citizens

(02:27:31):
don't set when they don't commit crimes. Right, right, These
are the kind of things I used when I was
trying to potty train my kids, and I would say,
you get a sticker, or you get an EM and
M or something. These are not things that should be
used in the court system. So, and we've seen this
in other cities. These kind of policies have gone into

(02:27:53):
place like New York City is a mess, Philadelphia, Chicago,
San Francisco, Austin, Texas.

Speaker 11 (02:28:01):
I mean, this stuff does not work.

Speaker 3 (02:28:02):
The crime has gone way up in these areas. People
are moving out in mass numbers. People don't want to
live where these policies are happening.

Speaker 1 (02:28:11):
Clearly, well, you know, insofar as toilet training is concerned,
you are born without the knowledge of how to use
a toilet. It is part of the human process to
learn how to use it when you're an adult. If
you start defecating in public, you will be held accountable.
You can be arrested, you can be given a citation,
public exposure if you know, defecating in public, if it's
all crimes. So at some point you get past the

(02:28:32):
learning process into the punishment stage. You can't buie by
society's rule. Do you get punished. You were convicted of
a crime. That's why you're on probation. Why would we
be rewarding someone for showing up and visiting the probation
officer or not cutting off their ankle monitor or something
along those lines, when they should full well know that
there are consequences for violating the terms of probation, which
should mean guess what, probation's over. It was a temporary

(02:28:55):
gift to allow you to remain free subject to being revoked.

Speaker 3 (02:28:59):
Right, more out of It's even more out of control
than that, because a lot of the Democrats judges now
are terminating people on probation when they haven't even done
half of the requirements. They're saying, Okay, well you you
did kind of a enopso we're going to terminate probation
because they want their stats to show that people are

(02:29:19):
not on probation as long, and that shows their method
is succeeding because people must be succeeding more on.

Speaker 11 (02:29:25):
Probation, right because they're not on probation. That's just not
how it works.

Speaker 3 (02:29:30):
So the biggest, the biggest problem here is this no
cash bail reform nationally. So I was talking to some
of the other judges and they were saying, if it
weren't for mandatory sentences and some of these guns crimes
and things, we don't think some of these judges would
ever lock anyone up. We think some of the judges

(02:29:53):
would not lock anyone up pre trial or even after conviction.
I mean, right, thank god, we have some mandatory sentences,
some types of crimes.

Speaker 1 (02:30:06):
But this is all coming from the This is all
coming from the woke side of the political ledger, the
same side of the political ledger, the ones to take
away our second amend of right to keep them bare
arms and who thinks that. You know, firearms have to
be the biggest existential threat to the world, but they
won't punish someone for actually committing a crime with a firearm.

Speaker 3 (02:30:22):
Okay, exactly, And what is the deterrence if you're committing
these violent crimes and the worst thing that can happen
to you is you get some free Red tickets or something, right,
I mean, where is any of the punishment.

Speaker 1 (02:30:38):
It's that insteative only works for reds fans.

Speaker 3 (02:30:44):
Oh that's a good point. That's a good point. But
when I worked in juvenile court as a prosecutor, juvenile
court is focused on rehabilitation. We are trying to rehabilitate juveniles,
you know, all the social working type things for them.
That's appropriate, But in adult court. There has to be
some sense of punishment. Of course, if someone's incarcerated, we're

(02:31:08):
going to try to rehabilitate them. There are tons of
programs for that, but the main goal cannot just be
to rehabilitate everyone. There have to be some sense of
punishment in there for bad actors.

Speaker 1 (02:31:22):
Yes, it's how the criminal justice system functions. It's the
core key leg to the criminal justice system. I'm not
going to commit a crime because I don't want to
be punished. I don't want to lose my liberties. I
don't want a record. That should be enough sentence center
for everyone to not want to go down that road.
Soften that blow, make it something that you're not charged
for or held accountable for. People are going to engage

(02:31:43):
in that behavior. Thus it has ever been Betsy Sunderman,
Judge Betsy Sunnerman. Let's keep it, Judge Betsy Sunamon. Go
to Betsysonamon dot com. Help her out in any way possible.
Get out and vote. Vote Early voting is going on
right now, as we all know. By now. I hope, Betsy,
I wish you the best of luck. I'm keeping my
fingers crossed, my prayers head in your direction.

Speaker 3 (02:32:04):
Thanks so much. I really appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (02:32:05):
I appreciate what you have done so far and what
I hope you continue to do for the citizens of
the city of Cincinnati. It's a thirty nine right now,
let's help out the VIA KRS does Care. It's a
carseee care se section with Joe Beth Akerson from the
Cincinnati VIA. What is the Federal Electronic Health record and

this morning, who's head about of illness this morning. So
praying for Joe Streker speedy recovery. Take a break, now
come back. Maybe you open the phone lines to the
extent and then we can't get Joe Beth on the phone.
Because I was curious that on behalf of my veteran friends,
what the hell is the federal election health record? And
when is the schedule to go live? Anyway, if we
can't do it today, we'll get to it at some point.

I love hearing from you.

Speaker 16 (02:34:39):
Good morning, Brian.

Speaker 10 (02:34:40):
As always, you guys.

Speaker 12 (02:34:41):
Are true patriot.

Speaker 1 (02:34:43):
Appreciate that Tony Bender included even when he's covering for
Joe Strecker.

Speaker 5 (02:34:48):
Right right, right.

Speaker 16 (02:34:50):
I was just wanting to it's been a while, so
I just wanted to thank you. It's so important to
have you on the air because you're just a really
balanced voice and you don't let people tell you you
know things that you know is wrong and it's not
even close to being the truth. And uh, and I

(02:35:12):
just wanted to say that to all my Democrat friends
out there. You know, you can still say you're a Democrat,
you can still talk badly about anybody you want, but
when you're in the voting boots, you need to remember
who you're voting for, not only your pocket, but your

(02:35:33):
kids and your grandkids, in your in your community. And
it's just, you know, not working out for the left
right now. And and I honestly think that no matter
how many you know troops you put in cities, you're
not going to have any long term fixes until you
fix the justice department. And we've just got way too

(02:35:57):
many judges and magistrates that don't want to puny me.
I mean, yes, you and I know that the police
can only do so much. I mean they can only
arrest somebody. They can't make them all.

Speaker 8 (02:36:11):
To where you know, you go easy on them and.

Speaker 16 (02:36:14):
Let them out twenty or thirty times and then expect
something different to happen.

Speaker 1 (02:36:19):
It's like voting for a Democrat administration in downtown Cincinnatia
for the last forty years and expecting a different result. Sorry,
I had to go down that road. Yeah, I know
it's not the d because you're to your point and
it's a valid one. Don't reject a concept merely because
it comes from the other side of whatever political affiliation
you find yourself on. Look at your own political landscape.

(02:36:41):
If you are a Democrat, what kind of Democrat are you?
Are you a far left Alexandria Casio Cortez Democrat, or
do you think as a Democrat that that's the wrong
direction for your party to go. You're you're a moving target.
You're on a spectrum somewhere. Just because it says D
doesn't mean it's going to always make sense. And just
because it says D doesn't mean it's always bad. Same

(02:37:02):
thing goes through the Republican suggestions. And how about Christopher Smith.
If it comes from an independent as a concept, will
you be quick to reject it? Or might you pause
and say, wait a minute, what's this independent labeled guy
saying about this given issue. Maybe you pay more attention
because from it comes from an independent, you haven't been
indoctrinated into believing the other side is always one hundercent wrong.

(02:37:24):
Look at the world we're living in right now, Jeff,
because the entire Democrat party is in total anti Donald
Trump mode. Anything he does, even if it's peace in
the Middle East, is rejected out of hand by Democrats
because they hate evil Orange man.

Speaker 16 (02:37:39):
That was crazy, Yeah, I mean that was crazy and
it's just And I tell people all the time, I said,
you know, I am not, you know, only a Republican
or a conservative. You know, I feel that a lot
of things. I'm much more libertarian. There you go, ye
and Au maybe this will get true to him. You know,

(02:38:04):
I don't know if anyone that has ever been known
to be perfect yet for some reason, the pitty. If
your initial is the same as initial that I follow,
you're either perfect or every single thing that comes out
of your mouth is wrong. And I'm pretty sure I've
never met a perfect person. I mean, if any Democrat
or Republican can tell me which one of them is perfect,

(02:38:27):
I'd really like to meet him, because I've met a
perfect person before. But if they both work together and
get over this stuff, I mean, it's pretty sad when
a person likes Fetterman, who has had a lot of
health issues and God blessed him.

Speaker 8 (02:38:43):
At least he's.

Speaker 16 (02:38:44):
Talking common sense. I mean, he's not talking like a Republican,
he's just common sense.

Speaker 1 (02:38:49):
Yeah, I know, when f has to be a bellweather
for sanity within the Democratic Party, you know you've reached
a real milestone. Jeff, that was the guy we were
all collectively called bat crap insane until he proved that
he isn't bat crap insane. Who'd ever thought we'd see
that day. It's a great point. Take care, Jeff. I

(02:39:09):
appreciate your call. I really do. And as far as
not knowing anything, I made this coming about politicians all
the time, we just kind of assume, whoa Joe. They're
a representative, they're a senator, they must know about all
the things that are legislating over. Yeah, and and Guam's
gonna capsize. Yes you've heard me use that one before,
but it's true. Somebody thought Gwam's going to capsize. Step

(02:39:30):
back from it and realize you are an amazing expert
at something but not everything. John Gardner's out there somewhere,
John Gardner, God bless you. He was kind of waxing
poetic at home coming up. Thomas's smartest man ready. I
can't believe how smart he is. He seems a dude.
I'm not smart. You're the commercial real estate genius, I

(02:39:50):
said on a Jack squad about commercial real estate. You
are the one that's smart depending upon the subject matter.
I said, you think I'm smart because I pay attention
to politics just means that you're not the ones sitting
in front of a weed dwelling stack of articles related
to politics all day long, every single day, for eight
to ten hours a day. Maybe I should have chosen

(02:40:11):
commercial real estate. I don't know, but remember when you're
talking about it and people of the mindset we need
to put our decision making in the hands of someone else.
That is a dangerous, perilous path to go down. They
don't know your life, You don't live your life, you
don't walk a mile in your shoes, and they sure
us all the further away from your house that they're

(02:40:35):
passing laws and regulations and rules and edicts and mandates.
The further the way they are from their house, the
less they know about your lived experience, and the less
likely it is they're going to do something that's beneficial
for you. It's why I reject that notion out of hand.
This is why I believe in the criminal justice system.
If it was painful to commit crimes, you wouldn't commit crimes.

(02:40:55):
It's what's kept me out of jail my entire life.
I don't want to lose my freedom in liberty. That
scares the living hell out of me. The punishment. I
want to enter into a conversation again about what's a
fascist anyway. Yeah, I don't believe Donald Trump is telling

(02:41:18):
me how I need to live my life. It seems
to me Donald Trump is doing everything and he can
in his power to get us away from that. Cutting regulations,
cutting red take, cutting the size and scope of government.
What does that do? Oh my god, I'm not gonna
get No, maybe you're not gonna get fill in the blank.
You'll be a hell of a lot better for it.
The American taxpayer won't be throwing bood good money after

(02:41:40):
bad for another failed program filled with fraud, waste, and
abuse in the name of something that started out to
be altruistic. Five fifty five fifty five k CD Talk Station.
