And reactions in people are going to lose their freaking mind.
The big story of the week fifty five KRC the
talk station eight oh five on a Friday and a
Happy one tea as well as Happy Valentine's Day. Brian
Thomas want to point out at the bottom of the hour,
it's going to be a great conversation with the author
(00:21):
Mary and Ben's the name of the book, You were
Still Dancing. It's about her subtitled Unforgettable Journey through Alzheimer's.
Both her grandmother and her mother struggle with it, but
it is emotional, sometimes sad, but also extremely uplifting book
explaining how she dealt with and dealt with the challenges
(00:42):
associated with Alzheimer's, which I know my mom more than anybody,
is painfully aware of that as our everyone in my family.
Without further ado, that'll be the bottom of the hour
eight thirty. The meantime, George Brenneman from Restore Liberty dot
Us check it out. Welcome back, my friend. It's always
good to talk with you.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
How you been Hey, great, Brian, Thanks for having me
and thanks for reminding me it's Valentine's Day.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
You get the hell to pay if you forgot it.
It's the anniversary of my engagement thirty three years ago,
so oh wow, extra special dish my wife and me.
But no, she won't be getting flowers. My wife is
a very frugal woman and she doesn't have expectations like
that for me, which is good because it frees me
of the obligation to have to remember to go out
and do it. She's listening right now, so I'm not
saying out loud anythings she doesn't know already. Anyway, you
(01:29):
want to start with the Restora Liberty dot Us event
at the farm because I have your website up right
now and I know you have a meeting coming up.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yes, this is actually a really great opportunity for everybody.
So we're teaming up again with Americans for Prosperity. Oh great,
they're big push right now. Is something called protect Prosperity.
So the idea is the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
that was in effect from twenty eighteen that Trump passed.
(02:00):
And you keep hearing that it's tax cuts for the rich.
But I'll know some insight on that in a sec
But they want to make that permanent, and I think
that's a fantastic idea. So the meeting is going to
be focused on getting people to sign petitions and to
take action, to call Congress and basically say, hey, let's
make this tax cuts permanent, not you know, another four
(02:23):
years so that we have to go through this nonsense again.
Let's make them permanent. And in return, af he's going
to buy your dinner. Oh wow, you get some free
farm food at it, so oh Man, February twenty sixth. Yeah,
it's a great deal.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
It is the farm, a west Side institution. If you've
ever been there, I understand they have some outstanding chicken.
I've been to quite a few wedding receptions there the
old west Side keg and pretzels and chips, wedding wet receptions. Anyway,
fond memories of the farm. So the farm on the
twenty sixth, doors open at five point thirty free food.
Thank you to Americans for prosperity. I talked to Donald
(02:59):
and Neil Roy in the week about the Rains Act,
which they're trying to push through here in Ohio, because
every state needs a Rains Act as well as we
need one on the federal government level. You're familiar with
that effort in Ohio.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Tell me again what it is. I know, I am,
but I can't.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Remember the acronym any I can't remember what it stands for.
But any regulation created by a regular Tory body pursuing
to some law that's passed that has a financial impact
of more than a million dollars needs to be specifically
approved by the legislative branch. It's a way of honing
in the runaway administrative state.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah, yeah, I remember that. Yeah, definitely. So Donovan's going
to be there, He's going to be our host for
the podcast. I was just talking to Joe before game
on that we're probably going to record it in advance
and play it live at the at the at the
meeting while people were eating, so we don't have to
deal with the noise behind, but they still get to
(03:51):
see the podcast. So we'll be talking to Donovan about that.
You know, at the federal level, they're concentrating on this
Tax Cuts Act, making it permanent. At the state level,
they're working on the effort to get rid of the
income tax, and of course my push is always before
you get rid of that, let's get rid of the
(04:13):
property tax, because at least income tax is a percentage
of what you've got coming in, whereas a property tax
is a percentage is something you've never seen. Yeah, it's
unrealized gains, it is. And now that I am on
a fixed income, it's like, holy cow, every time they
raise property taxes, I'm less likely to be able to
afford my house, you know. Crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I think of my conversation with Breitbart's Joe Pollock from
earlier in the week. He actually lives in Pacific Palisades
where the wildfires raged in California, and he made an
interesting point because he says, I'm sick of hearing that
it's just a bunch of these wealthy millionaires that live there.
He said, there have been people that living there for decades.
When they got their house, they probably paid like forty
or fifty grand for it, and then it's now worth
(04:55):
three and a half million dollars simply by virtue of
the real estate that is sitting on. They can't afford
to rebuild that, they can't afford to, you know, buy
what they were previously living in. A lot of people
on fixed incomes, a lot of seniors there, a lot
of people's lives just been completely devastated. But that's the
same effect these property tax increases. Have you know, you
buy your house twenty thirty years ago, you paid one
(05:15):
hundred grand for it, and then the assessor comes in
and said, oh, by the way, since COVID and the
real estate shortage is not worth like six hundred thousand dollars,
we're going to calculate your real estate tax based on that.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I mean, yeah, I think we need to keep the
focus on property taxes. You know, over here in Coloring Township,
they're getting ready to raise them again. Oh they've failed
to police levies. It's just nonsense. And you know, to
Todd Zenser's point, and I don't know how Todd says
state so soft spoken. Some of the stuff he's.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Described cool at que cover around.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
There's all these added things that they want to buy
and do. We just got slock cameras here in Coloring.
I hate those things. It's like snooping on everywhere you
go your car. But you know, they just keep planning
more things to spend, and they're totally forgetting the stuff
they're supposed to do. Police, fire roads. That's it. I
(06:10):
don't know why we've got anything else what. I think
we need to keep up that focus.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I would say so. I mean, you know, when Todd
Zinzer says we got four hundred and fifty million dollars
worth of outstanding obligations for infrastructure already on the books,
I mean, and I look back and I think, huh,
let's see here, when's the last time Republicans ran the
city of Cincinnati. Not that it's a party stripe, because
Republicans are terrible in overspending and spending as well, but
(06:38):
Democrats have been in charge of the city for so long.
And my favorite illustration here comes again. Sunset. You drive
on Sunset, you need an alignment carry down to Story.
It's like a road from Gaza. It's been falling apart forever.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
It used to be like that too, for decades.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah, and they don't take care of what they got,
and they want to bring us all on all kinds
of brand new, shiny stuff and things which literally tends
to only benefit one particular neighborhood. I'm thinking of the
street car along those lines, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Oh golly, yeah. Meanwhile, the Western Hills, Vinoc is literally
falling down, quite literally, but they at least haven't they
already addressed that in terms of allocating funding or am
I being overly optimistic about the status of that one.
I think you're being optimistic. You're reacting to the headlines
and not the content. I haven't seen anything. As far
(07:25):
as I know. The concrete still falls down from the
top to the bottom.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Well, that's the way it does work. It's nona.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
So Wednesday's meeting at the end of the months focused
on taxes. The March twenty six meetings can be all
about restore wellness. And boy do we have stuff to
celebrate today. I cannot believe RFK made it through. I
know that is such a huge, huge thing.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah, and you know, I got a lot of Republican
friends like you're letting them, you know, the wolf into
the henhouse kind of thing. He's nefarious, And I'm like, yeah,
I'm aware of his record. I know what he has
supported in the past. I know how he feels about,
for example, like climate change and stuff. But he's on
record is demonstrably interested in and worried and concerned about
the nation's health. I mean, oh, that is a consistent
(08:12):
position he's had in his role. His role is limited
to that kind of thing. You know what I'm saying.
He doesn't have any control over you. EPA doesn't have
any control over the Green New Deal or anything. So
bringing some focus and clarity to what's going into our bodies,
giving us the information so we can make informed decisions
(08:32):
or choose to turn our backs on the information as
long as we've got it, that's his point.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yet, Yeah, there are certain events that are significant for
symbolic reasons, like I think having RFK Junior, someone with
the Kennedy name, at the front of the AHHS is
a great symbolic significance. But there's also the idea that
this is going to be an agent of change, truly
(09:00):
transformative significance. His effort is going to turn the food
pyramid upside down. It's going to turn this whole industry
now that's focused on mRNA. I can't call them vaccines.
They're not vaccines. They're basically rewriting your operating system. Excuse
me for your body. These things are horrible. I could
(09:21):
see how they could treat maybe some kind of genetic
disease or some kind of you know, where your body's
not manufacturing a certain chemical. mRNA is great for that.
Going after something like a virus that mutates constantly, it's
just not made for that, and I don't think anybody
was told that at the beginning certainly, nor the risks,
nor the fact that it's going to be a permanent
(09:43):
part of your DNA after they injected in your arm.
I think he's going to bring a lot of light
down on that, and his focus on just giving you
the information is great. The problem we've had is the
information has always been out there, but it was hidden
until Twitter became a free platform. X. Yeah, you know
(10:03):
you couldn't find this information, but now you can. You know,
all of the studies that talk about the effect on
the hearts, the effect on you know, sudden death and
the turbo cancers and all these things that are coming
out posts COVID, you can now get that information. You
can also get the historical stuff. I'm kind of looking
at the Restore Wellness Twitter feed right now.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Well, i'll tell you what on that recording on Hey George,
on that note, let's pause because we're to break and
then because I wanted to elaborate on your Restore Wellness
initiative and bring people's attention to that. So we'll dive
into the details on that and a little more about
the the RFK thing right right after these brief word
be right back. Fifty five KRC channel on the forecast
(10:46):
says we're going to start out sunny, turn partly cloudy
and cloudy. Sky's rolling fully tonight breezy conditions in a
high on thirty six a day. Rain will be around
by five o'clock tomorrow morning. They say over night go
thirty two, all day rain tomorrow with a floodwatching effect
beginning of one pm tomorris High forty seven down to
thirty overnight. They say rain will continue. Two to three
inches of rain possible, and I hope that's just not
(11:08):
I hope that's collectively no clarity on that point. High
A thirty nine on Sunday, the rain moves out and
the floodwatch ends in the afternoon. Time for traffic update
from the U see how Traffic Center. For more than
two hundred years, the experts you see health have been
giving heart patients and chance and better outcomes. That's boundless care.
You can trust, expect more and you seehealth dot com
(11:28):
step bound seventy five. That's those for a couple of
extra minutes through Lachland. Otherwise, highway trafficking pretty good. Shape,
there's a wreck and Harrison that's on kilby Ed Simonson
truck into a utility poll Chuck Ingram on fifty five
KR see the talk station a twenty fifty five KR
(11:55):
s DE talk station. I didn't mention all morning. I
guess I should have because quite a I get text
on my phone quite a few times during the morning
show from listeners chiming in. I also get email. Well,
I left my phone at home again, so I didn't
get any text, and I can't get into my email
because I have two factor authentications. So basically I'm screwed.
So apologies, I'm not being rude. I just don't know
until I get home if somebody's reached out to me.
(12:17):
Without further ado, let's continue our conversation on health with
George Renaman at George Brunman, you launched a Restore Wellness initiative,
and we talked about this last time you were on
the program, and so on the heels of your comments
about RFK Junior being confirmed by the Senate as a
Health and Human Services Secretary, which you and I both
you is a good thing. How's the wellness effort going?
(12:38):
And remind my listeners what the Restore Wellness effort is
all about.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
So the Restore Wellness dot org is a website that's
meant to give you information to help you take care
of yourself. So the whole focus similarly, you know, our
Restore Wellness was always a restored liberty, was always focused
on personal responsibility. You know, you've got to take personal responsibility.
Don't count on the government. Right here, we're taking a
(13:03):
really similar thing where your health should be your personal responsibility.
So we're trying to provide resources, meetings, we're working on podcasts.
We're supposed to get the first one soon to tell
you here's the information. So the best spot we've got
right now on the page is if you go to
the homepage, we've got our Twitter feed at the top.
(13:26):
We've got some suggestions, and then we have the resources
that you can take a look at the books that
are coming out. There's a whole block of them now
that are just super informative on giving you real clues
on why it is that you feel like you're overweight,
Why is it that you have eye blood pressure, Why
is it that your pre diabetic or got type two diabetes?
(13:50):
And wow, of course all of these seem to come
to very similar conclusions. You got to get back to
what your body was designed for. We weren't designed to
eat carbs, you know. Cave men didn't have carbs laying around.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
They also didn't have processed sugar and corn syrup summer.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
But that was about it, George, And so your body's
just not made for it.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
They also didn't have processed sugar and corn syrup, right right.
I don't know if you.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Saw my face high fruittose corn syrup alone, and I
just hope that ourf cake can just get rid of
that entirely.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah, well, won't you talk to some of the Republicans
and farm states and the farm bill, George, because they're
the ones that push corn down our necks because the
farmers benefit from it. Not that I'm against the American farmer,
but Lord Almighty, they manipulate the system to give all
kinds of subsidies to manufat or to grow corn, which
we then have to burn in our gas tanks and
convert into corn syrup, and it goes into literally every
food that we've got. It really that really angers me,
(14:47):
really angers me.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
And most of it's Republicans crosses over with the health
because the whole reason we have high fruitose corn syrup
is because the United States skirt gets a ton of
subsidies for corn would be cheaper. Ah. Yeah, there's there's
all these insidious interconnections. So the whole food pyramid. Do
(15:09):
you know who responsible for that?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I don't know, doctor Fauci, No, Senator McGovern, George mc yes.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
He got fed up with all of the conflicting information
and he basically said, hey, you know, the Quaker oats
and the grains industry really will benefit from this if
we say that carbs are the source of your mainstay
in the diet. Had nothing to do with health data.
It had to do with who was giving him the
most money, wolarly with just about everything else. You see,
(15:42):
why are we taking all these cholesterol drugs? Well, nobody
gets to talk about the side effects of statens, but
you know it's a number you can track. Well, it
turns out, you know, going after cholesterols like going after
fire trucks for causing fires. You know, the cholesterols there
after or the injury, not before, Just like firemen don't
(16:03):
show up until after there's a fire.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Well, in you, since your brain an.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Entire industry concentrating on getting rid of it.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
And since your brain has comprised the FATS, something tells me,
and I know there's been wide speculation, maybe even research
studies on it, the statins having an impact on your brain. Ergo,
maybe having a connection with Alzheimer's, leading to my next
conversation with my guest on her book You Were Still Dancing,
which relates to Alzheimer's. Hey, real quick, I can't let
you go. You're talking about the vaccines, I guess, and
(16:30):
I presume you saw the article about Children's hospital not
allowing a transplant patient to move forward with her transplant
because she didn't get the COVID vaccine. Isn't it rather
strange since heart conditions are one of the problems that
they've cropped up as a relationship to COVID nineteen we're
talking about a heart transplant pation m hm I.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
And on top of that, you know, one of the
main side effects of all those vaccines and boosters is
reduced immune system. And when you're seeing a transplant, holy cow,
I mean, do you want to have out on top
of having a transplant? It's just the fariest beyond words.
I like the idea that they need to step back
and say, listen, you know this isn't working. COVID doesn't
(17:12):
affect young people in the first place. And I think
that's what we can look for is we've got at
the national level started addressing these big questions, but Reshore
Wellness is here for the local level to say, hey,
there are things we can do. We're trying to get
some events put together where we bring in you know,
local practitioners, you know like chiropractors, nutritionists, you know, massage therapists,
(17:37):
all of these things that you have a hard time
getting your insurance to cover, but actually help you more
than the little pill that they want to give you
at the doctor's office. I just think this is a
huge opportunity to get better. And I've heard you're having
some success with Keto. Yeah, fantastic news.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Well, I just I put a post on Facebook the
other day just to let folks know that I was
recommending to them because I've had such great success feeling
better because I cut sugar out of my diet. And
in putting this post up, I just randomly because I
know Mountain Dews got all kinds of sugar and I
found o'skuy like forty seven grams of sugar and one
can a mountain dew forty five grams, right, and that's
(18:18):
an insane amount. It's like eleven teaspoons. And if you're
crazy enough to drink a sixty four ouncer, that's more
than a full cup of sugar. And people drink a
mountain dews all day long. I'm like, it's killing you.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Man.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
You're gonna feel so much better if you get it
out of your diet. So and forty five grams of
sugar is more than I have an entire week anymore.
And I just feel so much better for it. And
I'm praying it has an impact on my cancer because
cancer loves sugar. Do your own research on that, or
maybe find it over on restore wellness dot com someday.
George Brenhaman, keep up the great work. Thanks for looking
(18:51):
out for everybody. Remember to get to the farm. February
twenty six, five point thirty free meal thanks to Americans
for prosperity. George will have you on again real soon.
Have wonderful Valentine's Day and weekend YouTube Marian, Thank you
so much, thanks brother. It's a twenty seven coming up
on Mary Ann Ben's with her book You Were Still Dancing.
She's a former Westsider will we will forgive her for
(19:12):
moving to Georgia, but she's got a great book to
talk about experiences, what she had with her grandmother and mother.
You Were Still Dancing, The Unforgettable Journey through Alzheimer's that's
up next.

This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station during taxi
