1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: See the Talk Station five o five.

2
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 2: And fifty five KRC, the Talks Station, Happy Monday, end

3
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: of the shutdown.

4
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 3: I'm the dude, man, I'm not.

5
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas is who I am, host of the fifty

6
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: five KRS Morning Show. Hope you had a wonderful weekend,

7
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: and hope you can stick around all morning. Of course,

8
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: just because he didn't get elected to council. As disappointing

9
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 2: as that is. Christopher smith haman former vice mayor of

10
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: the City of Cincinnati, joins the program at seven twenty.

11
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 2: That segment's not going anywhere. We call it the Smither Event.

12
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: He's got great observation, he's got experience on council, he's

13
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: got a great lay lay of the political landscape, and

14
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: of course knows a whole lot of people in town.

15
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: But you know, running is an independent. If you're not

16
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 2: on the blue sheet, uninformed voters tend to just vote

17
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: the way they normally do, which is just like sheeple

18
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: click click click, click, blue blue, blue, blue blue. Anyway.

19
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: Christopher at seven twenty, not sure what he wants to

20
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: talk about, but there's certainly plenty going on. I'm getting

21
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: a kick out of Joe Streker given the crime over

22
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,279
Speaker 2: the weekend. He's got all the local stories involving crime.

23
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: So Joe's been referring back to The Enquirer's political landscape

24
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: map that shows which are how various neighborhoods fifty two

25
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: neighborhoods within the city of Cincinnati voted in last week's election.

26
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: I know you're going to keep doing it. I appreciate it, Joe.

27
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: That's why I'm saying it out loud. So you got

28
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 2: a murder or a shooting, or a criminal action in

29
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: any given neighborhood. He's writing down how overwhelmingly they voted

30
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: for a have to have pervoll in the current administration.

31
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: It's like eighty five percent to one hundred percent per

32
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: of all. Then you maybe you have yourself to blame

33
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: for the crime. I don't know, but we do know

34
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: that Corey Bowman ran a strong on crime campaign and

35
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: up until about five minutes before the election after perval

36
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: didn't care about crime and thought you were all delusional

37
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: in thinking there was a crime problem in the city Cincinnati. Anyway,

38
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: So Monday, Monday, Brian James coming up. Of course, you

39
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: know the shutdown is over, is it really there's a

40
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: couple procedural hurdles. We have to get through here before

41
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: we find out whether or not the proposal that was

42
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: agreed upon by sixty total senators is going to go forward.

43
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 2: But if the shutdown is over, what does it mean

44
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: Brian James talk about that, we'll also talk about low

45
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: cost EFTs in four oh one case. What the hell

46
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: does that mean? That's why we have Brian James. Everyone

47
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: gets two thousand dollars from tariffs. That's Trump's recent proposal.

48
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: He wants to keep the tariffs in place. He knows

49
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: he's in legal jeopardy after the Supreme Court's or the

50
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: oral arguments before the Supreme Court, which indicated a lot

51
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: of skepticism on the part of even the most conservative

52
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 2: justices on whether he has the authority to issue these tariffs.

53
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: But he wants to give you two thousand dollars back,

54
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: so by bribing the American people, giving them the return

55
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: on the tariff investment. Will that have any impact on

56
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court's decision? Probably not, But I don't think

57
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: anyone would have a problem getting some cash back directly,

58
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: or would you rather have a go to paydown the

59
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 2: national dat One quarter of Americans didn't take all their

60
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: vacation days. That's topic final topic with Brian James. That

61
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: happens quite frequently around here anyway. Speaking of vacation days,

62
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: I'm off this Friday and next Monday. Smoke them if

63
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: you got them, or smoke them why you've got them,

64
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: because around here at iHeart Media, your vacation days don't

65
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: carry over, do they. Joe just taking like half the

66
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: rest of the month off, or at least the month

67
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: of December. Anyway, I got quite a few vacation days

68
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: lined up, and I'm looking very very forward to exhaling

69
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: since we got past the election. So phone calls are

73
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: free Auschwitz not long ago, not far away. That was

74
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: the subject of a discussion last week with the director

75
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: of the CEO for the Holocausting Humanity Center and the

76
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: Museum Center had the two CEOs there and they've got

77
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 2: this wonderful exhibit which supplements the Center for Holocausting Humanities

78
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 2: will always presence at the Museum Center, but until the

79
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: second week of April. This global exhibit, the Traveling Exhibit

80
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: with more than five hundred artifacts from Auschwitz is going

81
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: to be there, so you can see the Holocausting Humanities exhibit.

82
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: You can watch this one separately, two separate tickets again

83
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 2: which is typically the case at the museum center, but

84
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: you get a discount. So all the details on that,

85
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 2: and we're going to looks like we're going to do

86
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: a listener lunch hopefully it's the first week or first

87
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: onesday of April at the Center for Holocaust in Humanity

88
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 2: that allows us to have a box lunch together and

89
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: then tour the exis. It's the last, like just one

90
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: more week left of the exhibit, so giving us all

91
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: an opportunity to go there and enjoy the fellowship and

92
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: see this amazing, amazing display. Of course, Restore Wellness last

93
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 2: week with George and Keith George Breneman and Keith Tennenfeld,

94

Speaker 2: great information about how to we'll improve your diet, your

95
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: lifestyle and I've really tried to take a lot of

96
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: the tips that they have passed along the well more

97
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: than a year we've been talking to them. Restore Wellness

98
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 2: dot Org is where you find those guys and all

99
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 2: the tips and information they have, including podcasts, So it's

100
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: all there. Fifty five Cassy, now kind of get youryheart

101
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 2: MEDIAPP while you're at it. It will well allie to

102
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: stream content wherever you happen to be. It's also good

103
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: for the show. Got to be honest with you on

104
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: that real time numbers, and thank you to everyone who listens.

105
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: Sixty to forty vote on the measure to take up

106
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: the House past spending legislation. Of course, that requires sixty

107
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 2: votes in the Senate filibuster procedure. I'm sure you all

108
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 2: know that. By now. We now have eight members of

109
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: the Democratic Causes Caucus joining with the Republicans well with

110
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 2: one notable exception, Ran Paul voting in favor, which allow

111
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: the build and move forward on the heels of what

112
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 2: fourteen rejections of an almost identical proposal. So they say

113
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 2: the next big step is for the Senate to amend

114
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: the measure send it back to the House. But apparently

115
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: that can't happen unless the Senate unanimously agrees to dispense

116
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: with other procedural steps that would delay action, and I

117
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 2: can expect there will not be one hundred percent consent

118
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: on that. So whatever procedural steps it has to go through,

119
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 2: presumably given the sixty votes to advance this legislation, whatever

120
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: procedural steps are not going to pass the sixty vote threshold.

121
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: Keep your popcorn out. Dick Durbin, Senator, second in line Democrat.

122
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: He joined with the what are described as Center as

123
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 2: voting for the legislation. Tim Kaine negotiated some well what

124
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: they are considering concessions from the Republicans. I'll let you

125
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 2: decide how big they are. They don't seem to be

126
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 2: that much of a big deal to me. So what

127
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: they agreed to provisions reversing the firings of the federal

128
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: workers that Trump initiated after the shutdown, described as thousands

129
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: of people that were let go. They'll be welcome back.

130
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: Number two, forbid additional firings at least through January thirty first,

131
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: which is what this resolution will keep the government open

132
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: until you got it this much time, and the idea

133
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: is to vote on the appropriations bills. Okay, So forbid

134
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 2: additional firings, fine, no big deal concession wise, also some

135
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: legal questions whether the firings were well legal in the

136
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: first place, So we'll see bill also ensure back pay

137
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: for federal workers. Trump had suggested that they weren't going

138
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: to get back pay, although I think there's legislations on

139
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: the books which guarantees federal workers back pay if they've

140
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: been placed on furlough, So that's not much of a

141
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 2: concession from my standpoint. So there's your three. They also

142
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: agreed to vote on an extension of the Obamacare tax cuts,

143
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 2: just to vote, which the Republicans have been offering for

144
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: well since the first cr came out, keeping funding levels

145
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 2: at last year's level, which is exactly what this does.

146
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: Offering to negotiate and discuss the extension of the afford

147
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: tax credits after the government is reopened. They've been offering

148
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 2: that now for a long time, so at least now

149
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: this has been memorialized, we will vote on the Affordable

150
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 2: Care Act. There's a date certain within the agreed upon

151
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: extension here, So I thought that was rather interesting. I

152
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: was trying to figure out what would have led to

153
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: the breaking of the logjam. If you're a Democrat, is

154
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: that your constituents feeling pain. Snap benefits were a big

155
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: issue here, and they were arguing that the poor people

156
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: who are on snap benefits are going to be starving

157
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: and that carries some weight. That's a real life thing

158
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 2: for a lot of people, well over the weekend. In fact,

159
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: timing is everything. A few hours before midnight last night,

160
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: a appeals court said, no, you can't shut down SNAP Benefits. Yeah,

161
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: Federal Appeals Court late Sunday deny the administration's bid to

162
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 2: avoid fully funding federal food assistance program for November, ruling

163
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: that the means the government will have to make the payment.

164
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: That means the government have to make the payments within

165
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: forty eight hours unless the Supreme Court intervenes. So last

166
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: night is when they reach this agreement. So if you

167
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: take this Snap argument out, this actually appeals court decision

168
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 2: benefits the Trump administration on that, Well, it's out of

169
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 2: our hands. We got a fundament one hundred percent, even

170
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 2: though I think logistically it becomes difficult. You only have

171
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 2: certain amount of funds and certain number of piles, and

172
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: how does the judicial branch interfere with the congressional power

173
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: of the perse authority? And I'll let others argue about that.

174
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 2: But if SNAP must be paid, then and will you

175
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: take away the anger from those receiving SNAP? What are

176
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 2: you left with, you're left with, well, I would argue,

177
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 2: so that would be the poor lower echelon folks, although

178
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 2: that number is getting bigger. The air traffic which has

179
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 2: been ground to a screeching hault. Not because the air

180
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: traffic controllers aren't invited to continue working. They are essential workers.

181
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 2: It's just calling in sick. And you saw over the weekend.

182
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: I hope you didn't have to travel over the weekend.

183
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 2: Thousands of flight they had twenty five hundred flight scans

184
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 2: at least on Saturday. It just got worse yesterday. So, oh,

185
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: that's right. Holidays are coming. Don't you think the senators

186
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: want to go home for Thanksgiving? You think that had

187
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: any imvidus behind the six senators who were previously hold

188
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: out saying you know what, I'm gonna go ahead and

189
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: move forward this proposal. I'm hearing it from the left,

190
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 2: I'm hearing it from the snap folks. I'm hearing it

191
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: from my wealthy business people that they need the air

192
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 2: traffic back. And you know, gosh darn it, my wife

193
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: or my husband is demanding that I'm home by Thanksgiving.

194
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: Would you open the damn government back up so we

195
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 2: can have a nice family holiday. Together that may have

196
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 2: had an impact on it, maybe, but maybe more the

197
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: break in the logjam because some now are suggesting and

198
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is embracing this. If you're gonna send money

199
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: out into the world for healthcare, funny, why not give

200
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: it directly to people? This is along the lines of

201
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: maybe some flexibility with your school education choice. Why do

202
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 2: we send the education dollars directly to schools? Why not

203
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 2: send them to the parents who then have a choice. Hmmm,

204
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: hold on, we may be onto something. And as I've learned,

205
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: and I hope you've paid attention John Roman to cover

206
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 2: since he is painfully aware because it's his job of

207
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: all of the private healthcare insurance companies that are out

208
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: there in the world where you can get the type

209
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 2: of policy you want that fits your circumstances with lower

210
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: out of pocket liability and better coverage for less money.

211
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 2: You mean, we don't have to go with the Obamacare

212
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 2: And it's outrageous structure and design that I have to

213
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 2: buy insurance that well. As a single young person male,

214
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 2: I'm never gonna need maternity insurance at least until my

215
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 2: circumstances changed. Why am I paying for it? Right? So

216
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 2: if I'm if rather than the subsidies which do go

217
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: directly to the evil insurance companies. Right, we've all been

218
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: demonized in the medical insurance companies. They're the ones getting

219
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 2: paid directly. Huh. And that's to mask the cost of Obamacare.

220
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: If you could turn that model around, let people have

221
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 2: the money not in the form of a tax credit

222
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: that went directly to do with medical insurance companies, but

223
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: in the form of a check in their own pocket,

224
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 2: or maybe a tax deduction or however that would work

225
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 2: when doing taxes. The money would be in your pocket

226
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 2: and you would be in a position to go out

227
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 2: into the world and find something else. Competitors with Obamacare. See,

228
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 2: the Democrats all along have been wanting to rope you

229
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: in the idea that Obamacare was actually affordable, that affordability

230
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 2: masked because they've been supplementing it. Even for people who

231
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 2: make a million dollars a year, you were getting a

232
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 2: tax credit if you went down the Obamacare road. So

233
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 2: I'm thinking there may be something to this and that idea,

234
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: while it hasn't been fully baked, and of course there's

235
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 2: no legislation that would allow it to come to fruition

236
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 2: right away. Maybe have the Democrats sweating, Oh my god,

237
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: this will be the end of Obamacare. If we're not

238
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 2: forcing people into Obamacare by making it appear to be affordable,

239
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: people are going to react, and they're going to look

240
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: out into the world, and all these John Rouman types

241
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: are going to be popping up talking about, Hey, there's

242
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 2: a million alternatives out here in the private sector that

243
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 2: costs you less money and get you better coverage. Huh.

244
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: That is competition. Competition which, like you know, green subsidies,

245
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 2: masks the true cost to the consumer. If you're the consumer,

246
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: and you must face the true cost, but you've been

247
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: given a pile of money which allows you an incentive

248
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 2: to go out into the real warl old to shop around.

249
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 2: You're going to do it. And for those who don't

250
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 2: apply that money directly to an insurance plan, and I'm

251
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 2: sure there's going to be some obligations to do that,

252
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 2: but let's just say they go off and spend it

253
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 2: on Mountain dew and you know, funions or something, then

254
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: they have no one to blame but themselves. Look, you

255
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: had an opportunity to buy insurance. Here's all the ways

256
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: in which you could have afforded a medical insurance policy.

257
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: You chose not to, it's your fault. I kind of

258
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: like it. Five nineteen Right now, fifty five KRCD Talk Station,

259
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 2: feel free to call me right back after these briefds.

260
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: Fifty five KRC be here for you about Karosite Talk Station.

261
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what not quite ready for this cold weather.

262
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: Usually don't mind it a whole lot, but man, it

263
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 2: hit me like a ton of bricks walking out of

264
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: the garage this morning, and to clean off the Kia

265
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: and scrape the windows and all that. Really wasn't prepared

266
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 2: for that. And I felt so badly finding out over

267
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: the weekend that you know, this stupid, stupid war between

268
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: Russia and Ukraine. Russia have been attacking Ukraine's infrastructure and

269
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 2: hitting primarily their power generation plans, so widely reported complete

270
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: and total zero production of energy from certain plants. And

271
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 2: I think about this, poor people, and how cold it's

272
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 2: going to be very soon. There war rings about pain,

273
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 2: sometimes the pains designed to bring about the end of conflict.

274
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 2: And since we've got Brian James coming up here at

275
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: eight five, fun fact and the remaining moment of time

276
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: I have in this segment house speaker Nancy Pelosi and

277
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: her husband, Paul. Let's see when she started out in Congress.

278
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: Before entering office, Pelosi and her husband reported between six

279
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: hundred and ten thousand and seven hundred and eighty five

280
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: thousand dollars in their collective stock portfolio. It's not in a

281
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 2: financial disclosure form they file, so let's give them the

282
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 2: high number, seven hundred and eighty five thousand dollars. I'd

283
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: be nineteen eighty seven. Well, she has announced her retirement,

284
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: she'ld be leaving and, much to disagree of literally No one.

285
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: Polio portfolio now valued at one hundred and thirty three

286
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 2: point seven million dollars today, according to the New York

287
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 2: Post reporting UH that is a profit of sixteen thousand,

288
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: nine hundred and thirty percent the Dow Jones during the

289
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: same period. I know they're S and P and there

290
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: are you know, other market. You know they've markers out

291
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: there or reflective of value, But twenty three two thousand,

292
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 2: three hundred percent, if you hadn't invested in the Dow

293
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: over that period of time, you would have gotten two thousand,

294
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: three hundred percent return. I don't know what it would

295
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 2: have been like in the SP five hundred nastak, but

296
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: the point being a sixteen and thirty percent versus twenty

297
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: three hundred percent. That well the average run the mill

298
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 2: Joe out here at you and I would normally expect

299
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 2: to get. We don't have inside baseball to rely on.

300
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 2: Pelosi's now worth an estimated two hundred and eighty million dollars.

301
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 2: I don't know that she really made more than one

302
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy six grand or something along those lines

303
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 2: in her period of time over the years in elected capacity.

304
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: How is it that she was able to do so well?

305
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 2: I know you know the answer to that question. Five

306
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 2: twenty five right now, local stories. Phone calls are always welcome,

Speaker 2: I hope you are as well. Lots to be thankful for.

313
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: Just got to find it and look for it and

314
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 2: pay attention to that, not the other gloom and doom

315
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 2: crap going on in the world. Let's go to the phone.

316

00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 5: Uh?

320
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, really did. We went out to a neighbor's house

321
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 2: for dinner on Saturday. It was absolutely fantastic and got

322
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 2: a lot done, got you know, the winterization stuff done,

323
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 2: got the outdoor umbrellas taken away and put away, and

324
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 2: got the outdoor furniture covered up, and wife worked in

325
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 2: the garden, got the ranch of things cleaned up. So

326
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 2: real productive weekend addition to being fun. I sure hope

327
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 2: you can say you had a good weekend as well, Tom.

328
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I'm working every weekend down at Caves Center

329
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 4: trying to get that thing finished up for here about

330
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 4: the end of the year.

331
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 2: Is that the completion schedule for the end of the

332
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: year for the project to be done or is it

333
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 2: just your part?

334
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 4: Well, the completion time is what it could be the

335
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 4: day before Cavalcadea Customs. That's the drop dead date. Because

336
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 4: Cavalcada Customs is coming and there's nothing you could do

337
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 4: about it.

338
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 2: You better be done when ISCA.

339
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 4: I frankly don't know I'm going down there on the weekends.

340
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 4: I just know that it's coming to January and better

341
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 4: be ready.

342
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 2: Just said to being a January boy, you say Cavalcada customs.

343
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 2: This just reminds me of the seventies and we had

344
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 2: a neighbor's brother who would take us down there. And

345
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: that was remember when the vans custom vans were real

346
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 2: big and they had a whole huge convention full of

347
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 2: all these custom vans. Wow.

348
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 4: Anyway, I know, I know that the the ice rink

349
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 4: is pretty much put together. They've got got the platform

350
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 4: up there and they got the handrails and everything. Zamboni

351
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 4: is sitting down there. So that's where the ice rinks

352
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 4: getting moved to, is out in front of the remodeled

353
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 4: convention center. In case anybody likes to go go downtown

354
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 4: to the ice rink. You're not going to Fountain Square

355
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 4: for that anymore, at least not at least not this year.

356
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's I saw yesterday. It's I don't. I

357
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 4: don't think I saw ice yet obviously, but I definitely

358
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 4: saw the rink itself built. And uh So, to switch

359
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 4: gears back to what we were talking about, my wife

360
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 4: and I have had the discussion about our big trip

361
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 4: at the end of the year, and we're starting to

362
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 4: do a little hand ringing and uh because we're we're

363
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 4: flying uh and we don't we don't need that hassle.

364
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 4: We we put too much planning and stuff into this trip.

365
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 4: So okay, yeah, it's definitely something that is on our mind.

366
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 4: So I'm quite certain that everybody's been thinking about that,

367
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 4: and that's got at least be a reason holidays are

368
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 4: coming up.

369
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: Could not agree more?

370
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 4: Right, you want to piss off a bunch of constituents, Right,

371
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 4: that's a that's a way to do it.

372
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: Well, that's the time. That's the reason I said. This

373
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 2: court's decision ordering the government to fully fund SNAP. That

374
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 2: decision came out last night, right around the time the

375
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 2: Democrat Moderate Democrats decided to go with the Republicans and

376
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 2: Events's funding bill. Because no longer do they have angry

377
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 2: SNAP recipients. If they're going to get their full amount,

378
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 2: that chorus of anger disappears, leaving you with what the

379
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 2: course of anger brought to you by the air traffic

380
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 2: being effectively shut down because the controllers aren't showing up

381
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 2: to work. That impacts a lot of people, you know,

382
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 2: from hardworking Tom to all the elite the business people.

383
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 2: Can you imagine the phones ringing off the hook in Washington,

384
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 2: DC from angry of business executives about how they can't

385
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 2: get to where they need to go. They've got vacation

386
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: plans are some little more weight than others. But absolutely, Tom.

387
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, and uh, they're gonna need a week or two

388
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 4: at least to get this thing straightened back out. As

389
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 4: far as the air traffic, because it's already a mess.

390
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:18,239
Speaker 2: It is.

391
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 4: Well, it's too early to congratulate the Republicans, but but

392
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 4: as of right now, it looks like they're all standing

393
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 4: firm and and they've they've they've grown a spine. It

394
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 4: does appear that So I'm I'm a little hopeful that,

395
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 4: you know, did these concessions that they talk about. It's

396
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 4: basically what what the Democrats would have gotten had they

397
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 4: agreed to this thing. What at the end of end

398
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 4: of the fiscal year in September.

399
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 2: Right from the moments the Republicans, from the moment the

400
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 2: House sent over the fully funded Continuing Resolution maintaining last

401
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 2: year's level of funding, what they got through these concessions,

402
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 2: and again hasn't been firmly done. I mean, it's we're

403
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 2: looking positive, but not complet done yet. But that's exactly right.

404
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 2: They would have gotten this regardless. Republicans kept saying the

405
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 2: whole time, we're willing to discuss the extension of the subsidies,

406
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 2: but after the government runs open is open now they've

407
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 2: agreed to vote on an extension of the subsidies before

408
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 2: the end of the year. But do you think they're

409
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: gonna vote yes.

410
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 4: Tom, I certainly hope not. What a waste of time

411
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 4: this would have been. Huh So. Yeah, the two big

412
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 4: lies that caught me this morning reading through it was

413
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 4: one from Schumer, who's I don't know, he could go

414
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 4: on record as the biggest lying politician ever. But that's

415
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 4: a long list too. But his thing about how the

416
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 4: demoter the Republicans aren't even interested in healthcare reform, Well,

417
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 4: of course they are. They want to reform healthcare. They

418
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 4: don't like Obamacare. Isn't getting rid of Obamacare or or

419
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 4: messing with it? Isn't that healthcare reform? Of course, It

420
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 4: is that he doesn't want to admit dad, he wants

421
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 4: to say no, they don't want to do any And

422
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 4: then of course Bernie Sanders, he's he's all full of

423
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 4: just some great wisdom, isn't he? So he his lie

424
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 4: about it. All this does is uh has help Trump

425
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 4: with authoritarianism. Now, when when you have to make a

426
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 4: deal to get eight senators to come over and vote

427
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 4: with you know, make a total of sixty, that is

428
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 4: literally against the definition of authoritarianism. You need people to

429
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 4: vote on things if it was authoritarian.

430
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 2: But he disappear on this, Jeff.

431
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 4: Authoritarianism crap is nothing but a bunch of lies.

432
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 6: And by the way, you know it's funny because regular

433
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 6: listeners right know exactly what Tom's saying in part of

434
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 6: the fact that his phone dropped out.

435
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 4: Don't vote Democrat.

436
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 2: There you go, you finished up for him. Heavy Monday

437
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,479
Speaker 2: stack a stupid time. Alternatively, phone calls five, one, two three,

438
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 2: you talk may war to give out. This just to

439
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 2: me is a reflection of how stupid voters are. Why

440
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 2: would you elect someone with this background? Anyway, we go

441
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 2: to Stacy Marie laughmon Lofton, former underscore New Hampshire lawmaker,

442
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 2: believed to be the first elected openly transgender lawmaker in

443
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 2: the United States, has just recently pleaded guilty to child

444
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 2: sex abuse charges in federal court court. To local news

445
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 2: w M you are forty one year old. Former politician

446
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 2: recently entered a plea in a Boston federal courtroom on

447
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 2: charges that include sexual exploitation of children involving child sexual

448
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 2: abuse materials. Mister Laughton, who authorities say identifies using female

449
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 2: pronouns which I'm not going to bother with, accused of

450
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 2: working with his ex girlfriend Lindsey Groves to exploit children

451
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 2: at a daycare center called Creative Minds in Massachusetts. Grobbs,

452
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 2: former employee of the daycare center, took nude photographs of

453
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 2: the children and sent them to Laughman Lawton in twenty

454
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 2: twenty to while Lawton served as a member of the

455
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 2: New Hampshire House of Representatives. Court of the Affidavid filed

456
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 2: that year, authority said that Gross took four photos of

457
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 2: children under the age of five. Cording to the filing,

458
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 2: Lawton Gross exchanged thousands of text message around that time.

459
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 2: At the end that the images were sent messages. According

460
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 2: to the reports, in those, Lawton expressed interest in having

461
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 2: sex with the children, who let me again remind you

462
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 2: were under the age of five. When Lawton was elected

463
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 2: as a representative of twenty twelve, he she was considered

464
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 2: to be the first openly transgender person elected to a

465
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 2: state legislature. Yeah right, I know who cares courting the reporting.

466
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 2: Lawton's political career marked by complications in legal troubles. After

467
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 2: he was elected in twenty twelve, he announced that he

468
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 2: would not serve due to previous felony level credit card

469
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: fraud convictions. All right, so elected in the No, I'm

470
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 2: not going to take the post. He tried to run

471
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 2: again at twenty fourteen, but the New Hampshire Ballot Law

472
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 2: Commission denied the request on the basis of the suspended sentence.

473
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 2: Then twenty twenty, Boughton ran to represent New Hampshire's House

474
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 2: representatives for District thirty one and after in spite of

477
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 2: when he she registered after being arrested over a stalking incident.

478
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 2: Have fun in prison, Perio is the biggest douche of

00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 2: the un under the age of five, at all the galaxies,

Speaker 2: the pinnacle of douche dom. Good goingdue your dreams have

482
00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 2: come true. CoP's important port Saint Luci say, forty four

483
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 2: year old peacher Rera fired shots last week outside of

484
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 2: Harper's Pub. Why are you doing that? Police body camera

485
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 2: footage obtained by a news showed Rera being taken into

486
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 2: custody court to the police, Rieira got into an argument

487
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 2: with three people outside the pub went who he claimed

488
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 2: were trying to con him. Now court of the reporting,

489
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 2: he raises chickens and the dispute. The dispute, here's the

490
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 2: answer to the question, Joe. The dispute was about how

491
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 2: many eggs chickens can lay amen brother. For some reason,

492
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 2: the argument got heated. Riira allegedly fired four shots from

493
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 2: a forty five caliber glock. Idiots doing idiot things because

494
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: they're idiots, Corda cops. RIrA was paranoid and thought the

495
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 2: folks were he was arguing with were out to get him.

496
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 2: Cops say everyone involved was drinking and fortunately nobody was injured.

497
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 2: Rare also being held without bond, facing multiple criminal charges,

498
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 2: and two of them the people he allegedly shot at,

499
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 2: ended up getting arrested during the police response. Why for

500
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 2: resisting arrest? Don't do that? Five care see Detalk Station USA. Installation.

501

504
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 2: the American Veteran as we are at Veteran Veterans Day,

505
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:36,479
Speaker 2: elderly Vietnam War veteran turned the tables on a naked

506
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 2: crazy guy who broke both of this veteran's legs as

507
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 2: tradition his last act as a living human being on

508
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 2: this planet. The Vietnam War veteran shot this guy dead.

509
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 2: Happened in Los Angeles. Maniac went from went to the

510
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 2: suburban block of Tejunden Avenue. This happened on Friday morning.

511
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 2: Before he stripped down naked on the sidewalk, then started

512
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 2: screaming a bunch of nonsense and broke into a woman's home.

513
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 2: Security camera footage from the house across the street shows

514
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 2: the man trying to break into the house while holding

515
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 2: a garden sign and yelling unintelligibly. He managed to break

516
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 2: into the home chased the terrified tenant out her landlord.

517
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: Seventy nine year old Vietnam veteran heard the screams and

518
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 2: ran out of his home to help court to the

519
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Police Department Captain Castillo. In an interview, he

520
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 2: tells the suspect to leave. He told him I have

521
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 2: a gun and that I will shoot you. Nonetheless, the

522
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 2: naked guy slammed the veteran onto the ground, fracturing both

523
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 2: of his legs, and at that point, the veteran opened

524
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 2: fire as the attacker approached him. A neighbor speaking with

525
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 2: local news, I looked over and the naked guy was

526
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 2: on the ground, and the older guy was on the ground,

527
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 2: and he shot him two more times. Veteran taken to

528
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 2: the hospital underwent successful surgery. Cour to the Police Department

529
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 2: Captain Castillo, he makes it out of there without being

530
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 2: any wheelchair for the rest of his life. The neighborhood

531
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: hailing him as a hero. One neighbor, I think it's

532
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 2: a textbook example of self defense and I really really

533
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 2: hope he does not face charges. Amen. If that he

534
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 2: is charged, it'll be a consequence of La County District

535
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 2: Attorney Nathan Huckman. I wouldn't expect charges to be filed. Okay,

536
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: Iowa woman arrested last Wednesday after police says she was

537
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,680

Speaker 2: They cleared the scene after no other noises could be heard.

546
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 2: About fifteen minutes later, the business owner reported hearing more

547
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 2: suspicious noises coming from a different area of the business.

548
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 2: Officers showed back up began checking not only the complaint's business,

549
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 2: but also the other businesses in the same area. They

550
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: heard whispering and movement coming from inside the building around

551
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 2: them when they were searching. Now about six thirty, officers

552
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 2: spoke with a person they figured was in the interior walls.

553
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 2: Genesco firefighters responded to help remove the person from in

554
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 2: between the walls. Investigators show that the business on the

555
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 2: South State Street areas sustained damage to a potential access point,

556

Speaker 2: to property and criminal trespass. They are still investigated to

559
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 2: germined whether other people may be involved or perhaps remain

560
00:31:54,760 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: inside the walls idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. Yes, yes, Oh,

561
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 2: I'd love the headline on this because you may have

562
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 2: seen the viral video I did headline Michigan woman appears

563
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 2: to throw coffee at McDonald's manager. Warrant issue appears.

564
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 5: Now?

565
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 2: Is that a suggestion that we can't believe our own

566
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: eyes when we see a video surveillance video which we've

567
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 2: got Michigan a woman caught on camera throwing a hot

568
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 2: coffee at a manager in a McDonald's. Video on social

569
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 2: media released by the Buena Vista Police Department show's the

570
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: woman arguing with the manager inside the McDonald's. It ended

571
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 2: with the suspect appearing to throw coffee at the manager

572
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 2: as she walked away. Police told local news the suspect

573
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 2: has identified as Kashara Brown. Victim requested that she not

574
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 2: be identified. Happened last Tuesday after Brown ordered food on

575
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 2: the McDonald's app but did not provide her name or

576
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 2: payment information when submitting the order. Brown, unhappy with the

577
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 2: two sandwiches she hit, ordered and began to speak to

578
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 2: the manager. Brown was offered a coffee in an attempt

579
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 2: to calm her down, Gratis coffee. Brown was not satisfied.

580
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 2: The argument apparently then became heated. Video shows Brown removing

581
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 2: the lid from the cup and throwing the hot coffee

582
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 2: at the manager just as the manager. Just as the

583
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 2: manager herself turned to walk away, Brown hurled obscenities of

584
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 2: the manager, then left the building as the manager screamed

585
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 2: in pain from being hit with scalding coffee. Described as

586
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 2: having minor injuries not treated at the hospital. So fortunately

587
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 2: she was not a recipient of third degree burns, which

588
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 2: I guess happens when you go through a drive through

589
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 2: McDonald's and then spilled the hot coffee in your lap,

590
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 2: netting you several hundred thousand dollars in compensation. What it is,

591
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 2: The police said, the warrant for Brown's arrest has been

592
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 2: issued in authorities of working to apprehender court to the

593
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 2: police quote, we know where she lives. Presumably by now

594
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 2: they've already got her five to six fifty five care

595
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 2: City Talk Station. Plenty to talk about in the six

596
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 2: o'clock hour. Hope you can stick around. Government looks like

597
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 2: it may open up more than that. No coming up

598
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 2: and your phone calls are always welcome. I'll be right back.

599
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 2: Today's top headlines, Got me talk station. I'm Thomas right here.

600
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 2: Wish never bren a very happy Monday. Are we in

601
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 2: a celebratory mood? Sintead of here? As they move forward

602
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 2: to get the government reeleden? Are you happy with it?

603
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 2: If you're a Democrat? Probably not. Here's some of the

604
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 2: uh well, the anger expressed as a consequence of this.

605
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 2: What I would argue is a positive step forward and

606
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 2: some craziness in connection with some of those comments. Five

607
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 2: on three seven four nine fifty five eight hundred eight

608
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 2: two three talk go with pound five fifty on your

609
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 2: AT and T phone. You care to call in comment,

610
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 2: Love to hear from you on that or anything else

611
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 2: we're talking about. Of course, the developments last night the

612
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 2: Appeals Court said no, you've got a fund snap benefits

613
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 2: and completely. Now the Supreme Court's going to comment on

614
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 2: this at some point, but as of right now, it

615
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 2: seems that that angry Knapp recipient argument has been thrown

616
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 2: out that I thought was a rather interesting wrinkle late

617
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 2: last night, in so far as this that was late

618
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 2: last night, in so far as this sort of suggestion

619
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 2: that well, let's not give insurance companies the money directly

620
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 2: these Obamacare subsidies that have been in the heart of

621
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 2: the government shutdown. Now the real quickly here the agreement

622
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 2: that they entered into which advanced this, I guess Senator

623
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 2: Dick Durbin. Dick negotiated these reverse the firings of the

624
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 2: federal workers that Trump had already fired, so bring them

625
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 2: back forbid additional firings at least through Ary January thirty. First, Now,

626
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 2: this new spending interim spending measure expires at the end

627
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 2: of January, keeping the government open. Remember, originally I think

628
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,280
Speaker 2: it was set to expire this week, so they wanted

629
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 2: some extra time to work on the appropriations bills. They

630
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 2: got three full year appropriations bills announced yesterday, Veterans Programs,

631
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 2: Military Housing, Agricultural Department, and Legislative brands. So three more

632
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 2: of the appropriations bills also queued up, so you got

633
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 2: the return the fired federal employees, no firing through January

634
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 2: thirty first, and sure back pay for the federal workers

635
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 2: that were fired, which I don't think was ever truly

636
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 2: in jeopardy in spite of what Trump suggested. And then

637
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 2: a guarantee to vote on the extended healthcare subsidies, but

638
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 2: not a guarantee of passage, which was noted in the

639
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: last hour. Was pretty much status quo from the original

640
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 2: vote on the continuing resolution. That was always going to

641
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 2: be the case. If they had voted on the original

642
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 2: continuing resolution, then the government wouldn't have shut down and

643
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 2: those employees would have been fired, so that wouldn't have

644
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 2: been an issue worthy of discussion. So scratch that one

645
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 2: off as really nothing gained, nothing lost. Snap benefits wouldn't

646
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 2: have been suspended because we kept things funded at the

647
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 2: last year's long They would have continued to work on

648
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 2: the funding bills, so I thought, though maybe one of

649
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 2: the things that advanced this the Democrats probably pretty freaked

650
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 2: out over the idea of giving these subsidies rather than

651
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 2: to the insurance companies, but allowing the subsidies to flow

652
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 2: into your pocket. The parallel I drew in the last hour,

653
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 2: it's like education choice. If the money isn't going directly

654
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 2: to the school districts and it went into your pocket.

655
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 2: Isn't that good for you as a consumer of education?

656
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 2: Many people have noted me include them, Me included among them.

657
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 2: If the dollars are floating around there, as if they

658
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 2: were earned dollars by you through your job, and you

659
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 2: had discretion on where you were going to spend those

660
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 2: hard earned dollars, you might choose something better for you

661
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 2: based upon your circumstance. So in the case of education,

662
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 2: would you go to the public school perhaps, or would

663
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 2: you perhaps allocate those dollars to some alternative education maybe? Fundamentally,

664
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 2: though you get a choice now, the same thing would

665
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 2: apply logically and reasonably here. And I think this is

666
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 2: what's got the Democrats who have been I mean behind

667
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 2: the scenes, all of this subsidy stuff as being about

668
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 2: just enshrining Obamacare as the only form of medical insurance

669
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 2: like Medicaid for all when you master the premium which

670
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 2: have gone up and up and up by providing a

671
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 2: subsidy which basically provides you the medical insurance for free

672
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 2: and basically offloading it to the American taxpayer. But you

673
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 2: force people into Obamacare only the only subsidy you get

674
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 2: is if you get an Obamacare policy. So what if

675
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 2: that subsidy, rather than supporting insurance companies via Obamacare, went

676
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 2: into your pocket? Enter another commercial. Well it's not it's

677
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 2: just a reality. John Roman, he's on the program all

678
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 2: the time, and he's not the only one that does this.

679
00:38:56,280 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 2: But there's a gazillion private insurance companies there. You don't

680
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 2: have to get Obamacare, and ultimately you can get a

681
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 2: better policy for less premium dollars, better coverage for less money.

682
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 2: So the money's in your hand. Are you gonna go

683
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 2: with a crazy, outrageous Obamacare plan with its high premium

684
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 2: and massive deductible or might you take that money and

685
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 2: get something better for you, maybe a smaller policy. If

686
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 2: you're a young person who's healthy, there's an insurer out there.

687
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 2: There'd be more than willing to write you, you know,

688
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 2: just perhaps a catastrophic policy. I'll never go to the doctor. Fine,

689
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 2: you talk about that with John or an independent insurance

690
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 2: broker who knows about all these private insurance markets out there.

691
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 2: The problem is in some of the statements reflected by

692
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 2: elected officials, it's just they don't either know that this

693
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 2: private market exists out there or they don't want you

694
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 2: to know about it. I mean, Senator Chris Murphy. This

695
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 2: is unsurprisingly nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and

696
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 2: giving people a few thousand dollars instead? No, he's not.

697
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 2: If you gave a subsidentity to people rather than giving

698
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 2: a subsidy to the insurance companies, effectively what is going on.

699
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 2: They will wake up to their eyes and realize that, no,

700
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 2: I have insurance options. Donald Trump didn't do anything to

701
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 2: eliminate the concept of medical insurance. He just eliminated the

702
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 2: single choice you have to get the subsidy, which is

703
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 2: having to go to an Obamacare plan. This is brilliant.

704
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 2: Donald Trump doesn't get treaded for the concept that was

705
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 2: done in the Senate. Some of the Senate republic or

706
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 2: some of the Senate Republicans came up with this great idea.

707
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 2: Now you can't solidify this. This is going to require

708
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 2: a lot of work. It's very complicated because of the

709
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 2: different ways that these health savings accounts and flexible spending

710
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 2: accounts in all work, which is exactly where it's been suggested.

711
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 2: This money will go goes in your health savings account,

712
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 2: your flexible spending account. You then can use that money

713
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 2: to buy health insurance. Again, there or limitations on being

714
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 2: able to actually do that right now, but that's why

715
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 2: you create new legislation and you address the current limitations

716
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 2: on this happening. But I think it's a brilliant suggestion.

717
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 2: And what will this bring about market reform? Yeah, because

718
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 2: all the insurance companies out there are going to be

719
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 2: competing for the dollars that are now in your pocket. Now,

720
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 2: moving aside from my normal libertarian philosophy, and I don't

721
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,479
Speaker 2: think anybody should be getting direct checks from the federal

722
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 2: government probably for anything, But that's just a political leading

723
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 2: of political philosophy into philosophy and a default position I take.

724
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 2: But if this money is going to flow out into

725
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 2: the world, this is a much much better scheme. And

726
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:39,919
Speaker 2: how will the Democrats ultimately react to this? Are they

727
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 2: going to defend the concept of the money going directly

728
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 2: to those evil insurance companies that they've been demonizing for

729
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 2: years and years? Insurance companies who stock prices have gone

730
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 2: through the roof since Obamacare got enacted. They're the ones

731
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 2: who pay in process the clas of course they get

732
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 2: the premium they're paying and processing the claims, take away

733
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 2: the premium dollars. You've got to collapse on your hands,

734
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 2: at least in so far as that structure is concerned

735
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,919
Speaker 2: no longer, you know, built on the mandate of Obamacare

736
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 2: and the fact that these subsidies are limited to Obamacare. Yeah,

737
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 2: you might want to look at your insurance, your portfolio

738
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 2: in terms of investment in medical insurance or medical insurance companies,

739
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 2: because I think that dynamic may change if this gains

740
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 2: traction and this concept it gets a foothold. So keep

741
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 2: your popcorn out and look forward to the concept of

742
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 2: it happening, because I really do believe invest for every

743
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 2: by everybody. So what Bobby's got this morning? Bobby, welcome

744
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 2: to the program. Happy Monday to you.

745
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 5: Happy Monday, my brother. Wish everybody well today. Today's a

746
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 5: great day. Just like to thank you and Joe. You're

747
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 5: number one in the nation for being talk stations because

748
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 5: you let people talk.

749
00:42:58,320 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 4: Well.

750
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate your acknowledgment that that's why I

751
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 2: thoroughly appreciate the idea of people calling in. Who am

752
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 2: I to know what you want to talk about? Where

753
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 2: the questions lie or where the arguments contrary to what

754
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 2: I'm saying, are right, it's a feel free to bring

755
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 2: them on.

756
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 5: Well, one thing we discussed in the last three and

757
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 5: a half or four years was the DNC bombing. We

758
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 5: went ahead and found all the information, sending information about individuals,

759
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 5: a lot of a lot of it, and it came

760
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 5: out that we were correct on everything. The individual suspect

761
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,919
Speaker 5: that put the bomb there at that location. I used

762
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 5: the word suspect. She was born in Hamilton A kidding

763
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 5: see police officer conspiracy. I can tell you a lot

764
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 5: of the specific details.

765
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 2: No, I've read the articles. I've read the articles, and

766
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 2: remember it has not been definitively proven that this person,

767
00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 2: this Capitol Hill police officer, is the person. They've used

768
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 2: artificial intelligence. They looked at her gate, they looked at

769
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 2: her height, all the information, and they say, with ninety

770
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 2: four to ninety eight percent accurately accuracy, they do believe

771
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 2: that they have identified this person. So you know, I

772
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 2: think it's great, Well it is.

773
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 5: It shows conspiracy because Kamala Harris was in the DNC

774
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 5: with her detail, and there was three other police officers

775
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 5: with Capitol Police there at the time.

776
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 2: Well on video and I saw over in a couple

777
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 2: of news outlets that the federal authorities shut down the

778
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 2: counting of the electoral votes that were going on in Congress,

779
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 2: not because the J six protesters were running them up

780
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 2: in the hallways, but was after the news broke that

781
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 2: these bombs had been found at the RNC and DNC headquarters.

782
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 2: So if question mark speculation acknowledged, if these bombs had

783
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 2: not been delivered by whoever perha probably this Capitolhill police officer.

784
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 2: But had they not been delivered and not been discovered,

785
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 2: would the vote have gotten shut down? Which is kind

786
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 2: of the lynchpin for the Democrats saying that the Republicans

787
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 2: and the J six protests is responsible for trying to

788
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 2: take over the government.

789
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 5: Well, I think it's all great. It's all will come out,

790
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 5: and it always does. It just takes a long period

791
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 5: of time when you have somebody in office that weren'table

792
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 5: it to come out right. And I appreciate everything you do.

793
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 5: If I just talk about things, well I think people

794
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 5: don't understand it. But when it comes out, it's nice

795
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 5: to be vindicated in.

796
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 2: A way it is, And if you have an administration

797
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 2: that's interested in finding justice, then we'll take that even

798
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 2: though it takes a long time. It's one of the

799
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 2: many points I've made about Let's say, for example, after

800
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,720
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty vote, I was stolen. It was stolen,

801
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 2: It was stolen. Look at all the lawsuits have been

802
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 2: fat well, none of them were decided on the merits.

803
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 2: They were all dismissed for lack of standing. Never did

804
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 2: we ever get to the discovery phase where the information

805
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 2: might have been produced showing it was stolen or not,

806
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 2: as the case may be. So I said, these things

807
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 2: take time. They take a lot of time in litigation

808
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 2: to get all the documents, all the information out to

809
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 2: be put in to a format that's understood, understandable by

810
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 2: the judge and the jury. That never had a chance

811
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 2: to happen. Same thing with this federal investigation can take

812
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 2: a long time. You don't want to reach knee jerk

813
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 2: reactions and conclusions. You want to wait till the evidence

814
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 2: comes out. We are almost fully there on this one, Bobby,

815
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 2: And yes, indeed, it's going to be quite interesting to

816
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 2: see how it all shapes up. Good to hear from you,

817
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 2: my friend. Have a wonderful week six eighteen. Right now,

818
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 2: Steve's next. You don't mind holding for a moment, Steve,

819
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 2: I want to steer you in the direction of Cullen.

820
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 2: It's six twenty two cut up with six twenty three.

821
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 2: If if you have care City Talk station five one, three, seven, four, nine,

Speaker 3: You, Thanks to Joe and Tom and you for all

00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 3: you do, especially that last segment you had about the

828
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 3: Dumbo care Can we get more like is it mass

829
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 3: that you bring on and have him delve deeper into

830
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 3: that and other scams that are going on the government.

831
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 2: Oh and also yeah, Steve, as often as I can

832
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 2: get Congress with Massey on the program. Guys got a

833
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 2: job to do and he only has so much time.

834
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 2: People want to interview them all the time.

835
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 7: That's what jose best underling can he sent his best

836
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,399
Speaker 7: underling And with the topic you want to talk about,

837
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 7: with information they can gather. And the pipe bombs, So

838
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,320
Speaker 7: where the pipe bombs are at the Republican and Democratic

839
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 7: were they actually viable bombs or is it just the

840
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 7: ones that Republicans just as questions you got to ask them.

841
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: I'm deeper true.

842
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 2: And in so far as the bombs were reportedly controlled

843
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 2: blown up, so I don't know if that is a

844
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 2: confirmation they were actively or they were actual explosives that

845
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 2: could have been detonated.

846
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 8: Or evidence destroyed.

847
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 2: There you go.

848
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 7: Well, the things saying uh tinfoil hats well, there's a

849
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,800
Speaker 7: saying of loyal to the foil. Right now, I'm almost

850
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 7: a thousand with everything that's happened.

851
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 9: This is a great scandemic.

852
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 4: It's just uh.

853
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 7: But thanks for having the air for people to come

854
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 7: on and talk about it and putting up with us all.

855
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 3: Thank you.

856
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 2: I'm happy to Steve listen. I appreciate it. I really do.

857
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 2: I don't have all the answers in this in this world,

858
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 2: and quite often I do. I'm hesitant to embrace anything

859
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 2: until I got all the evidence of going back to

860
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 2: this pipewarmer. It is widely reported again, the evidence suggests,

861
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 2: based upon facial recognition and all this artificial intelligence that

862
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 2: law enforcement uses all the time, that they've narrowed this

863
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:26,760
Speaker 2: down to one person. They haven't. No one has definitively

864
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 2: stated it. It's all qualified. I think we all appreciate now,

865
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 2: notably since Donald Trump has been very successful going after

866
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 2: news ATHLETs who lied about him modified stuff that they

867
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 2: showed the public about him. Don't do that. There's a

868
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 2: thing called libel, and this thing called slander. You print

869
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 2: it in the newspaper and you accuse someone of criminal activity,

870
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 2: it's libel per se, unless, of course you are right.

871
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 2: So that's why there's qualifications building all this. And I

872
00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 2: am not going to hang myself or my hat on

873
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 2: an ninety four to ninety eight percent verification. I'm in

874
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 2: a way till they definitively say this is the person.

875
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 2: Now it is looking that way. Isn't it interesting that's

876
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 2: taken five years for them to get to the bottom

877
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 2: of this. This all sounds like something since the FBI

878
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 2: maybe was spending too much time running around looking for

879
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 2: every man, woman, and child, including elderly people who were

880
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 2: taking a stroll through the Capitol Building, to ensure that

881
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 2: they got locked up or otherwise were held accountable for

882
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 2: the so called crime that they committed. Well, now that

883
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:33,399
Speaker 2: those efforts have been exhausted and they got everybody there after,

884
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:35,800
Speaker 2: well maybe it freed up the resources at the FBI

885
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 2: had to actually look at this video evidence, which they've

886
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 2: had for a long time, only too recently, determined that

887
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 2: the person happened to be five foot six inches tall. Now,

888
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 2: in the modern world, with modern technology, that seems to

889
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 2: be something they could have figured out, like within the

890
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 2: first week of looking into it. Did they look into it?

891
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 2: I suppose it's a legitimate question to ask it was

892
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 2: the Biden administration plum type plumbing plumbing done. I call

893
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 2: my friends at Plump Tight for the best play. It's

894
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,720
Speaker 2: six thirty here fifty five care City talk station. Happy

895
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 2: Monday calls are always welcome five one, three, seven, four,

896
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 2: nine to fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two

897
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 2: to three talking to local stories. And I want to

898
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 2: shout out to everybody, beginning with Corey Bowman on election

899
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 2: Day who texted me to say, Hey, there's construction crews

900
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 2: sitting on Sunset. Wasn't quite sure whether that meant Sunset

901
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 2: was going to be repaved, but they were there. I

902
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 2: just kind of assumed they were staging for some other

903
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 2: project a mile around the corner or something. Followed by

904
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 2: I guess Todd Zinzer let me know that Sunset was

905
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 2: going to be paved, and then apparently it got confirmed

906
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 2: in local news. So to all those folks, let me

907
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,720
Speaker 2: know my favorite pet peeve and illustration of the failure

908
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 2: of the current city council and administration to keep the

909
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 2: roads paved. Sunset has looked like it currently looks for

910
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 2: like the last fifteen to twenty years. Word got out.

911
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 2: I'm not taking credit, but I'm happy that at least

912
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 2: is getting done. So if corveovn't got elected mayor, they

913
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 2: would have done a memorial street designation after my dad,

914
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 2: at least he said he was going to do that,

915
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 2: and speaking to my father and tomorrow is the was

916
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 2: my dad's birthday, November eleventh, along with the Veterans Day,

917
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 2: which of course I know takes priority among my listeners.

918
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 2: But I was just talking with my mom about that.

919
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 2: She's planning on going to visit my father at the

920
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 2: at the cemetery, and just kind of feeling the reality

921
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 2: of that here personally. Anyway, we got a man dad

922
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,280
Speaker 2: after a shooting in the West End. Happened last Friday afternoon.

923
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 2: According to since A Police department, they responded to the

924
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 2: intersection of Poplar Street and Central Avenue two thirty in

925
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 2: the afternoon after getting a shot spot or notification that's

926
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:45,160

Speaker 2: good to hear from me. Welcome back, hey, Brian.

984
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 8: Hey, just a couple of questions, that's all. Uh, what

985
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 8: do you think do you think they they purged all

986
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 8: the dead people off the social security roles as a

987
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 8: part of this government shutdown deal? You know, it was

988
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 8: a very interesting I was watching Joe Rogan podcast at

989
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:20,439
Speaker 8: elon Moscon and they said one of the number one

990
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:26,320
Speaker 8: reasons why the roles were not going to be purged

991
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 8: were the Democrats were fighting to keep illegal immigrants on

992
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 8: even though they know that they're using the dead social

993
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 8: Security numbers on there as a proxy. Because while it's

994
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 8: against the law for them to collect any form of

995
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 8: Social security, the government used your social Security number as

996
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 8: a virtual government ID, and they hook you up for

997
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 8: everything else e B T, government housing, and snap benefit

998
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 8: programs and Medicaid medical which is where most of the

999
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 8: fraud is right. So I don't think any of that

1000
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 8: was taken care of at all, you know, And I

1001
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,759
Speaker 8: think that the Democrats are just gonna sit back and

1002
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:16,320
Speaker 8: they're gonna wait to flip this big machine on after

1003
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 8: Trump Lee's office. And I think the Republicans are not

1004
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 8: all but a lot of Republicans are going to be

1005
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 8: more than happy to oblige them.

1006
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about your latter point, but they've

1007
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:30,719
Speaker 2: got several years to wait before they get to get

1008
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 2: rid of Trump. He is, of course, officially a lame

1009
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 2: Doug president, not being eligible to run for a third term.

1010
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 2: You got midterm elections next year. I guess that based

1011
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 2: upon your perception, they're not holding out any hope that

1012
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,440
Speaker 2: they're going to take over the House and senatoring the

1013
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 2: midterms where they could get something accomplished along the lines

1014
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 2: of what they want. Yes, I know Trump would have

1015
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 2: to sign it into law, but I don't know in

1016
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:53,800
Speaker 2: terms of purging the dead people from the Social Security roles,

1017
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:55,760
Speaker 2: I mean, does that seem to even be an argument

1018
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 2: that should be had. It's just a simple matter of

1019
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 2: looking out for them. Can taxpayer dollars? Do you want

1020
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 2: money to go to people who are not lawfully entitled

1021
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 2: to get it and that have had to have perpetrated

1022
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,880
Speaker 2: a fraud on the American people? The government in violation

1023
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 2: of law in order to obtain the social Security number

1024
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 2: in the first place. If that social Security number had

1025
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 2: been identified as connected to a dead person, then as

1026
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 2: soon as someone tried to use it, they would know

1027
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 2: that no, you're not this is not your number, and

1028
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 2: you're trying to use it is an actual offense. I

1029
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 2: don't know how anybody could be against that other than yeah,

1030
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 2: the nefarious reality that the Democrats want illegal immigrants to

1031
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 2: take a slice of the American people's hard labor in

1032
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 2: funding that program.

1033
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 8: So exactly what you want.

1034
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's exactly what Gary, That's exactly what this

1035
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 2: whole argument and the shut that was all about, was

1036
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 2: keeping these subsidies which were unquestionably going to illegal immigrants.

1037
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 2: It's one of the reasons. I mean, that's is that

1038
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 2: what that one point five trillion dollars comes from. I mean,

1039
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 2: if you could beggar pardon.

1040
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 8: Think they solved that problem.

1041
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 2: Well, as of right now, they're going to vote on

1042
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 2: the extension of the subsidies the Democrats have been clamoring

1043
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 2: to lock in, so they vote to open the government

1044
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 2: back up and incorporate it into the most recent proposal,

1045
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 2: which has sixty votes the Republicans have offered and guaranteed

1046
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 2: that they will vote on the democrats proposal to extend

1047
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 2: the subsidies in whatever form that shows up in before

1048
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 2: the end of the end of December. Yeah, we'll vote,

1049
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 2: but voting is not saying we're going to vote for it.

1050
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 2: This is again the same place we've been since the

1051
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 2: government got shut down. Republicans kept saying we'll talk with you,

1052
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 2: we'll negotiate with you, we'll hear your proposals, but we're

1053
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 2: not going to do that and lock something in before

1054
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 2: the government's back open. This is where the Chicken game

1055
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 2: showed up.

1056
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's great. I really hope that happens. All right, Brian,

1057

Speaker 8: you have a good week you Yeah, all.

1062
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 2: on at and T Founds. Yeah, I remember. They just

1063
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 2: that it's opening back the government up with returning the

1064
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 2: fired employees, a promise not to fire anymore, This promise

1065
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 2: to vote on the subsidies before the end of the

1066
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 2: year so boiled down. That's pretty much what the uh

1067
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 2: if you can call it a victory for Democrats. Those

1068
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 2: are the concessions Republicans provided in return for the vote,

1069
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 2: all of which, with the exception of rehiring the fired

1070
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 2: federal workers, were in play had they kept the government open,

1071
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 2: and as I pointed out last hour, I believe it

1072
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 2: was if they hadn't shut the government down in the

1073
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 2: first place over the extension of these tax subsidies that

1074
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 2: went to even people making millions of dollars a year,

1075
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 2: none of those federal employees would have been furloughed, and

1090
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 2: Pelosi's return on her investment rate over the course of

1091
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 2: time she was in Congress at sixteen thousand percent return

1092
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 2: rate compared to if you were invested in the Dow

1093
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 2: a twenty three hundred percent return. Yeah, she did a

1094
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 2: lot better than regular folk. Let's see what Nick's got

1095
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 2: this morning, Nix, thanks so much for calling. Happy Monday

1096
01:00:58,880 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 2: to you.

1097
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 8: Hey, Brian, how you doing.

1098
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:01,919
Speaker 5: Hey?

1099
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 10: I just wanted well, sorry, I.

1100
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 2: Thought you wanted an answer thing. No, no, he doesn't.

1101
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Oh my go ahead.

1102
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:12,919
Speaker 10: Sorry, hey, hey, but I wanted to say thank you,

1103
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 10: thank you very much to you and Joe for naming

1104
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 10: the percentage of votes that that Corey got versus pure

1105
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 10: evil on the on this election, because that's really what

1106
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 10: defined what happened during the election. With almost eighty percent

1107
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 10: going for our mayor and and only you know, close

1108
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 10: to twenty percent going for Corey, you know, that really

1109
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 10: defines what happened and I spent a lot of time

1110
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 10: campaigning on this election, and I stood on corners talking

1111
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 10: to people and handing out flyers. But when I handed

1112
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 10: out the flyers, I had The one that I'm holding

1113
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 10: in my hand right now is the one that I

1114
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 10: was handed out. It had Corey Bowman on it. It

1115
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 10: had Linda Matthews, Harry Favors, Liz Keating, Christopher Smitherman, and

1116
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 10: Brandon Nixon. It was all the people that I wanted

1117
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 10: for mayor and council members. So all of those, all

1118
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 10: of those would have benefited if they would have handed

1119
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 10: out cards like this. The Democrats did that. The Democrats

1120
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 10: handed out cards that had all the Democrat candidates on

1121
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 10: them for the mayor and for council members. And in

1122
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:28,440
Speaker 10: this case, you know, I think most of our candidates,

1123
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 10: most of our Republican candidates, just handed out cards for themselves.

1124
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you, helped you think that would

1125
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 2: have driven more people to the polls to the polls

1126
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 2: had something like that been widely circulated. See my concern,

1127
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 2: And I hear what you're saying, and I'm not disagreeing

1128
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 2: with you so much to the extent of Republican Party

1129
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 2: or the candidates dropped the ball and didn't hand out.

1130
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 2: That's fine, but that only one out of four voters

1131
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 2: in the entire registered voters in the entire city bothered

1132
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 2: to show up. What caused them to go to the polls?

1133
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 2: And what caused three quarters of the registered voting population

1134
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 2: to sit on their hands and basically ignore the election?

1135
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 2: Is it because it's already built into the pie that

1136
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 2: Democrats are going to win, So getting up and voting

1137
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 2: for someone other than a Democrat is a wasted effort?

1138
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 2: Or do they not care? I know, see that. See

1139
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 2: to me, it's more that, and I believe, and I

1140
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 2: have nothing to back it up, that if every single

1141
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 2: registered voter had shown up, that the outcome would have

1142
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 2: been different. But you've got this hardcore group of activists.

1143
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 2: Think about it. All the NGOs that are funded by

1144
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 2: city taxpayers, they all have groups of people who are

1145
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 2: committed to ensuring that money continues to flow. They have

1146
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 2: a vested, a straightforward, direct vested interest in the status quo.

1147
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 2: Other people are saying, well, I'm going to vote for

1148
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 2: an alternative, But what's that going to mean to me?

1149
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 2: I don't know. For the NGOs and the other political activists.

1150
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 2: It means drying up of funding and drying up of

1151
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 2: efforts to extend their political goals. That gets people to

1152
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 2: the polls. Direct influence and direct impact. Now, sadly, I

1153
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 2: would argue that every voter in the city has a

1154
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 2: direct impact based upon who in the hell's running government.

1155
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 2: Whether it's a direct impact on you real time or

1156
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 2: that over time you're going to see the city going

1157
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 2: a different, perhaps better direction, you gotta wait for that.

1158
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 2: There's no instant gratification. But for the one in four

1159
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 2: voters who are registered that show up, I'm guaranteeing you

1160
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 2: at least as sure as I'm sitting here, my belief

1161
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 2: is they got instant gratification. If my people get elected again,

1162
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 2: my money's going to continue to flow. My policies are

1163
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 2: going to be continue to be supported. Like the defund police.

1164
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 2: The rethinking of the police department woke judges and slaps

1165
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:44,919
Speaker 2: on hands for crime because these poor people, well they

1166
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 2: just are victims, not perpetrators of crime. They don't need

1167
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 2: to be punished, They need to be coddled and embraced.

1168
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 2: So that's my theory. Anyway, Nick and I do underscore

1169
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:57,760
Speaker 2: theory well, and what opinions are like and I have

1170
01:04:57,840 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 2: one as well. That's why the fund lines are open.

1171
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 2: Five seven fifty eight hundred eight two three talk. Feel

1172
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 2: free to give me a call. We've got some time

1173
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 2: between now and Christopher Smithman coming up at seven twenty.

1174
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 2: I sure hope you can stick around Today's top headlines

1175
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 2: coming up seven oh six. I'm laughing obviously, I'm gonna

1176
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 2: get to Tom, who's on the phone here at five

1177
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 2: point three day two three talk. First off, it's Joe Strecker,

1178
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 2: who gets props from doing the crime voting the neighborhood

1179
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 2: voting record in the most recent election in the Cincinnati

1180
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 2: relative to where crime has been committed. I'm just reading him.

1181
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:49,480
Speaker 2: Joe Strecker has been relying on the Enquir's reporting on that.

1182
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 2: He just drew it to my attention this morning. He

1183
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 2: said he's going to continue to do that. So that aside.

1184
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 2: I was laughing because Joe Strecker threatened to instead of

1185
01:05:58,360 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 2: my typical bumper music there at the top of the

1186
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 2: are to play the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, threatening

1187
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:07,280
Speaker 2: to unleash an earworm on my entire listening audience, which

1188
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 2: I quickly said, thank you, dad, whose birthday heavenly birthday

1189
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 2: is tomorrow. Got I love you, Dad, I miss you

1190
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 2: so much. So he exercised his right as executive producer

1191
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 2: to not do that. Not because he cared that you

1192
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 2: or I might get an earworm. He didn't want to

1193
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 2: give himself one. Yeah, it was fifty years ago, either

1194
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 2: yesterday or today, And I remember when that song came out.

1195
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 2: You couldn't turn the radio on and avoid it. As

1196
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 2: a ten year old or eleven year old at the time,

1197
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 2: I actually thought the story was written about some event

1198
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 2: which happened like fifty sixty years ago. But no, he

1199
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 2: wrote that song I suppose within one year of the tragedy.

1200
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 2: So there's your history. Lesson today anyhow, Tomorrow Veterans Day.

1201
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 2: Looking forward to salutes and shout out to the American

1202
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 2: veteran tomorrow, and of course again remembering my father's heavenly birthday.

1203
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 2: Tom Thank you so much for calling this morning and

1204
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:54,160
Speaker 2: waiting for me to get that out of my system.

1205
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Morning Show.

1206
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 11: Thanks Brian, thanks for having me. I work in the

1207
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:02,960
Speaker 11: city Incinnati as a public health nurse for years, retired

1208
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 11: in the real estate had a large low income real estate.

1209
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 8: Business in the city.

1210
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 11: And I tell you the problem I see is the

1211
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 11: messaging with tough on crime. When the Republicans we talk

1212
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 11: about tough on crime the inner city families here, that is,

1213
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 11: they're contributing to getting their kids locked up. And I

1214
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 11: tell you right now, they'd rather see the whole city

1215
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 11: burn that have one percent chance they're locking their own

1216
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 11: child up.

1217
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 8: Uh.

1218
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 11: So they have to change that messaging to something like

1219
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 11: and you've heard it, you know, safer street or you know,

1220
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 11: let the citizens know that they're going after the gangs

1221
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 11: that they need to lock up so they can enjoy

1222
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:43,440
Speaker 11: their life. But they're superstitious and they will not contribute

1223
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 11: at all if there's a one percent chance of putting

1224
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 11: their shown or daughter into the system.

1225
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 2: Well wait a second time. Let me ask you this

1226
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 2: because as a parent, and I'm speaking for the truth here,

1227
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 2: as a parent, if I was not able to get

1228
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:01,600
Speaker 2: my own child in life, inspite efforts to get them

1229
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 2: to come in at whatever a curfew I established as

1230
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 2: a parent, you're home by eleven o'clock on a Friday night,

1231
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 2: or you're in trouble, you will be grounded, you will

1232
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 2: be punished, you won't get an allowance whatever the case

1233
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:13,840
Speaker 2: may be, this is the kind of reality that I

1234
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,719
Speaker 2: live growing up. I think my parents would have embraced

1235
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 2: the same philosophy. I'm going to tell you right now,

1236
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:21,920
Speaker 2: I would want the police to arrest and lock up

1237
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:24,439
Speaker 2: my child if they were so unruly that they wouldn't

1238
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 2: listen to me. That I had so much concern for

1239
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:28,280
Speaker 2: them that I wanted them to set themselves on the

1240
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 2: right path that being locked up might do, that it

1241
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 2: might bring about my own personal hope that they might

1242
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 2: get reformed. I just can't imagine there are so many

1243
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 2: parents out there in the city of Cincinnati who believe

1244
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:44,639
Speaker 2: their children might be facing law enforcement because well, they're

1245
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:47,759
Speaker 2: involved in crime, that they would vote for liberal woke

1246
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:51,559
Speaker 2: forgive everybody for the ink any crime they commit kind

1247
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 2: of a police policy because well it just might rope

1248
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 2: in my child. Is your child that much at risk

1249
01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:00,560
Speaker 2: of engaging in law enforcement? And if you're answer to

1250
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 2: that question is yes, then you've got a problem on

1251
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 2: your hands with regard to your own child.

1252
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 11: I agree, and I know that theory about you know,

1253
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 11: lock my child up, but we hear you know, please

1254
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 11: for keep you overnight and let you out in these good,

1255
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:18,719
Speaker 11: nice little neighborhoods teach a kid a scary lesson there

1256
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 11: in the inner cities.

1257
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 12: They see as their kid getting put into.

1258
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 11: The system, and they'll roll the dice all day long.

1259
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:26,920
Speaker 11: I'd rather my kid being crime and be out of

1260
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:29,799
Speaker 11: prison than be in crime and have a fruitful path

1261
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 11: that they can learn, not skill and jail and order.

1262
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 4: Like back on track or Tom.

1263
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 11: That's how it works.

1264
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 2: They're operating from the perception, and many people do that

1265
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:44,679
Speaker 2: the system is inherently racist, and that my child there's

1266
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:46,680
Speaker 2: no way he or she would have been locked up

1267
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 2: or it not for an inherently racist system. Now that

1268
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:51,719
Speaker 2: assumes that the person you're talking about is a person

1269
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 2: of color. Uh, but that I suppose to apply to everybody, right, it.

1270
01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 8: Should, it could.

1271
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:01,200
Speaker 11: But uh, I just want I see down there, and

1272
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 11: I hear it a lot in my travels being in

1273
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 11: the inner city, you know, for my entire career thirty

1274
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:07,559
Speaker 11: three years.

1275
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:08,879
Speaker 12: That's what I see.

1276
01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 2: I do believe you do see that, Tom, And it's

1277
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 2: a shame that we are at that point in time

1278
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:14,760
Speaker 2: in our history. Appreciated.

1279
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 13: Tom.

1280
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well that helps, and just again reminding people, as

1281
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 2: I regularly do, the point of the criminal justice system

1282
01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 2: is to punish those who commit crime, to send a

1283
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:26,639
Speaker 2: message out to the rest of the world that you're

1284
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:30,480
Speaker 2: not going to get a pass. Lord Almighty, look at California.

1285
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 2: They eradicate criminal behavior criminal consequences. If you steal less

1286
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:37,679
Speaker 2: than what, nine hundred and fifty bucks pick a number,

1287
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 2: whatever number that happens to be. You're giving people a

1288
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:45,240
Speaker 2: free pass on crime. Huh. Let's see, if I go

1289
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:47,600
Speaker 2: into Walmart and steal a bunch of stuff, I'm not

1290
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 2: going to get prosecuted. Maybe I'll give it a try. Well,

1291
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:55,080
Speaker 2: we all know that's exactly what happened and what happens

1292
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 2: after that. Businesses can make a profit. They're already on

1293
01:10:57,280 --> 01:10:59,640
Speaker 2: slim profit margins. Anyway they is close shop, they leave

1294
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:03,519
Speaker 2: the neighbor, you know, Bob, Welcome to the Morning Show.

1295
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:04,479
Speaker 2: Thanks for calling this morning.

1296
01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 14: Happy Monday, Great Monday morning.

1297
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:13,080
Speaker 2: I can say, Brian, glad you feel that way anything? Yeah,

1298
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 2: wow on Monday.

1299
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:18,280
Speaker 14: I'll tell you. I'll tell you what. The long game

1300
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:21,360
Speaker 14: for the Democrats, I have seen this over most of

1301
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:23,920
Speaker 14: my life is way better than the long game for

1302
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:27,600
Speaker 14: the Republicans. They we take the short term wins and

1303
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 14: don't think about it. Well, Trump needs to stop talking

1304
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:35,880
Speaker 14: about ending the filibuster because as soon as Republicans lose

1305
01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:39,639
Speaker 14: the hut right, you know what's gonna happen. Puerto Rico

1306
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:42,840
Speaker 14: and DC are going to be enshrine with state. They're

1307
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:45,799
Speaker 14: going to increase the number of justices, all of these

1308
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:47,759
Speaker 14: things that we're gonna hate.

1309
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 2: Couldn't agree more and I do reject Trump's called in

1310
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:54,120
Speaker 2: the filibuster. Unfortunately, yesterday it appears that we've got a

1311
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:56,559
Speaker 2: negotiated agreement to open the government back up and it's

1312
01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:58,840
Speaker 2: not going to hurt the American taxpayer. The Democrats will

1313
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 2: get their vote on extending Bombacare tax credits in December sometime.

1314
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 2: Do I think that's going to happen. No, I think

1315
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 2: the Republicans are going to say, no, we don't want

1316
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 2: to do that. That's what we've been telling you for

1317
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 2: a long time. But we did promise a vote, So

1318
01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 2: here's your vote. But question, because this is one I'm

1319
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 2: a little confused on, Bob. If Republicans right now could

1320
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 2: end the filibuster numbers so a straight full majority will

1321
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:25,839
Speaker 2: allow legislation to pass out of committee and move forward

1322
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 2: if they can do it, when they don't have presently

1323
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:31,680
Speaker 2: the sixty votes to get things out of committee. Then

1324
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:34,479
Speaker 2: that means if the Democrats gain a majority in the Senate,

1325
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:37,760
Speaker 2: that they could automatically change that threshold on their own.

1326
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:40,559
Speaker 2: Just because the Republicans won't do it. Doesn't it mean

1327
01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:43,439
Speaker 2: the Democrats could maybe eat just as easily flip the

1328
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:48,880
Speaker 2: switch when they are in power. Agreed, Yeah, that's the

1329
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:51,040
Speaker 2: excerent I have. And then it's going to be repuns

1330
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:53,080
Speaker 2: of Republicans were screaming at each other, how come we

1331
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 2: didn't do this? Why do we let the opportunity pass

1332
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:57,320
Speaker 2: us by? It was destined to be eliminated anyway, and

1333
01:12:57,360 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 2: here the Democrats did it and they got their will.

1334
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 2: So I don't know what the future has in store

1335
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 2: for us, but I don't like the end of the

1336
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 2: sixty votes because it does kind of keep things a

1337
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:11,080
Speaker 2: little saner and it prevents crazy legislation like you imagine

1338
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:13,080
Speaker 2: the Democrats would put forward in the Senate from moving

1339
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:17,200
Speaker 2: forward easily. So but at least we have perhaps what

1340
01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:19,760
Speaker 2: looks like a reopening of the government. And I'm going

1341
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:24,400
Speaker 2: to part of me wants to say, well, it's Senate Democrats,

1342
01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 2: at least eight of them being selfish. They have a

1343
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:28,479
Speaker 2: spouse at home, they have a family at home that

1344
01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:30,880
Speaker 2: is screaming at them because they're going to miss Thanksgiving.

1345
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:33,160
Speaker 2: And if you don't hurry up and turn around this situation,

1346
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:35,679
Speaker 2: the air traffic control problems aren't going to get resolved

1347
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:37,600
Speaker 2: in short order. It's going to take a while for

1348
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:39,920
Speaker 2: that to get solved. Nobody's going to be able to

1349
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:44,040
Speaker 2: go for Thanksgiving, including you. Of course, the Senate Democrats

1350
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:50,840
Speaker 2: were kept in session until the government reopened, unlike the Republicans,

1351
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:53,000
Speaker 2: which apparently have been given forty eight hours notice that

1352
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 2: they're going to be called back to move this process forward.

1353
01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:59,800
Speaker 2: Maybe exciting some of my listeners, because when the Republicans

1354
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:04,040
Speaker 2: reach turn and the recess is over, I know Congressman

1355
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:06,600
Speaker 2: Massi is waiting in the wings with the bill to

1356
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:11,639
Speaker 2: advance the Epstein files being released, and he's got enough

1357
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:15,040
Speaker 2: vote for that. I have one more reason to be

1358
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 2: a little bit optimistic on a Monday, Well from my perspective, anyway,

1359
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:21,840
Speaker 2: seven fifteen right now, fifty twenty, and think about Karrosites

1360
01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:24,679
Speaker 2: talk station right Thomas, hoping everybody had a wonderful weekend

1361
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:27,560
Speaker 2: and always looking forward to this time of day. A

1362
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:30,880
Speaker 2: little worried that maybe last week's election might impact Christopher Smithman,

1363
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:33,000
Speaker 2: former vice mayor of the City Sincinnight's willingness to come

1364
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,799
Speaker 2: on the morning showing off for his sage wisdom logic

1365
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:39,599
Speaker 2: for the Smither vent and here he is. So thank god, Christopher,

1366
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:41,599
Speaker 2: your willingness to continue going forward. You know I love

1367
01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:43,640
Speaker 2: the segment. I know my listeners love hearing from you.

1368
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 2: Welcome back, my friend, oh.

1369
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 12: Brother, thank you for having me on. There's no way

1370
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:51,760
Speaker 12: I love coming on. And there's so much to talk about.

1371
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:54,559
Speaker 12: I don't know where I start, but I've been listening

1372
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 12: to your show. I'm gonna start with some of the

1373
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:00,360
Speaker 12: things you've been talking about, which is the shut down,

1374
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:03,439
Speaker 12: which is really a political government shut down by the

1375
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:07,120
Speaker 12: Democratic Party. And I've been thinking this morning as I

1376
01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:10,639
Speaker 12: have been trying to pull together my thoughts about how

1377
01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:14,640
Speaker 12: to make this plane for anybody who's listening to me,

1378
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:18,280
Speaker 12: those who are pushing to shut the government down, it's

1379
01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:21,759
Speaker 12: just Senator Schumer in the Senate. They're one hundred senators.

1380
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:25,680
Speaker 12: They did not like the outcome of the election, and

1381
01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:28,720
Speaker 12: so what they decided to do was take it out

1382
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:32,160
Speaker 12: on the American people and say you know what, We're

1383
01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:36,120
Speaker 12: going to shut this government down. We're going to undermine democracy.

1384
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:40,479
Speaker 12: We didn't get what we wanted. We don't like the

1385
01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:44,680
Speaker 12: legislation that's coming from the Congress and the Senate. So

1386
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:46,880
Speaker 12: what we're going to do is shut the government down

1387
01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:50,559
Speaker 12: and say we're going to fight, fight, fight. The fight

1388
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:54,240
Speaker 12: is on election day, and then you govern. The fight

1389
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:57,080
Speaker 12: is when you vote, and the vote is over, and

1390
01:15:57,120 --> 01:16:00,599
Speaker 12: now the mature adults come to the table and create

1391
01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:04,320
Speaker 12: public policy, compromise and do what is best for the

1392
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:08,320
Speaker 12: American people. That doesn't mean shut the government down and

1393
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:11,759
Speaker 12: make sure that our military across the world aren't paid.

1394
01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:14,840
Speaker 12: It doesn't mean that you shut the government down so

1395
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:19,679
Speaker 12: that welfare are snap benefits aren't paid out. You don't

1396
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 12: shut the government down so TSA agents aren't paid that

1397
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 12: protect us from terrorists. You don't shut the government down

1398
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:31,879
Speaker 12: and then say, hey, man, I'm worried about controllers, traffic

1399
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:35,680
Speaker 12: controllers that are already down. That's not what you do.

1400
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 12: When you're a mature adult. You accept the election and

1401
01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:41,840
Speaker 12: move on to the next election it's called the midterms,

1402
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:45,960
Speaker 12: and you fight there. What you have here are Democrats

1403
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 12: who had a temper tantrum and decided we're going to

1404
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 12: shut the government down and it doesn't matter who we hurt.

1405
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 12: You then have a senator named Senator Schumer who is

1406
01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:59,799
Speaker 12: up for our primary, and you have the AOC knocking

1407
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:02,360
Speaker 12: on door in New York saying I'm going to take this.

1408
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:07,360
Speaker 12: It was clearly indicated by the political thermometer or the

1409
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:10,759
Speaker 12: mayor that was elected in New York that they're waiting

1410
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 12: for Senator Schumer. And that was the confirmation that he's

1411
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:17,320
Speaker 12: not going to make it to a primer period. And

1412
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:19,840
Speaker 12: what he was attempting to do is signal I'm willing

1413
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:22,799
Speaker 12: to do anything to keep my job if it even

1414
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:28,280
Speaker 12: means undermining the entire faith of the United States economy.

1415
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:31,840
Speaker 12: Because they seek power that much the public. You don't

1416
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:36,400
Speaker 12: understand how much an elected official wants to hold on

1417
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:39,600
Speaker 12: to power. They're willing to do anything for it. And

1418
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:43,400
Speaker 12: all we've done over forty days and seen an exercise

1419
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:46,760
Speaker 12: of Democrats who did not like the outcome of the

1420
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 12: election and decided they were going to hold all of

1421
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:49,880
Speaker 12: us hostage.

1422
01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:53,320
Speaker 2: And think about this, Christopher. Before the election, anybody who

1423
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 2: was willing to pay attention knows that these subsidies that

1424
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:58,200
Speaker 2: were the predicate for the shutdown, were going to end

1425
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:01,720
Speaker 2: the end of this year. Why because that's the way

1426
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:04,960
Speaker 2: the Democrats wrote the legislation. It was in their COVID

1427
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:07,479
Speaker 2: Relief bill. We're going to extend these subsidies to people

1428
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:10,840
Speaker 2: making gazillions of dollars. Literally, that happened, and we're going

1429
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:13,599
Speaker 2: to put a deadline on that. And if you voted

1430
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:16,679
Speaker 2: Democrat in the last election, you would be voting perhaps

1431
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:19,120
Speaker 2: to have those extended. Of course, that's what the Democrats

1432
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:22,439
Speaker 2: thought was going to happen, permanently, enshrined subsidies which mask

1433
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 2: the full cost of Obamacare and offload those premiums which

1434
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:29,160
Speaker 2: go directly to insurance companies on the American people. So

1435
01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:32,200
Speaker 2: if the American people were listening and paying attention to

1436
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:34,559
Speaker 2: all the issues, then they would have voted. Then they

1437
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:37,840
Speaker 2: voted for Republicans who were not going to extend these subsidies.

1438
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 2: They knew it was going to happen, and they were

1439
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:42,640
Speaker 2: We had no problem with that collectively, So they're the

1440
01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:44,519
Speaker 2: ones that created the deadline. They're the ones that created

1441
01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:46,400
Speaker 2: the subsidies in the first place. In the American people

1442
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:47,920
Speaker 2: had a decision to make one way or the other

1443
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 2: last fault. We went toward Trump in sizable numbers. So yeah,

1444
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:52,280
Speaker 2: you're right.

1445
01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:56,400
Speaker 12: I don't think I don't think people are that deep.

1446
01:18:56,840 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 1: No, of course.

1447
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:03,360
Speaker 2: Not neither do I. But if you want to be

1448
01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:07,280
Speaker 2: realistic about it, the information was there, and you can't

1449
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 2: say the American people didn't know about that and maybe

1450
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:13,720
Speaker 2: considered it in their voting choice. Do I believe that

1451
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:15,439
Speaker 2: was the vast majority of people to know? This is

1452
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:18,559
Speaker 2: very complicated Weed dwelling. We're in here, right, Christopher. But

1453
01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:20,640
Speaker 2: it was there.

1454
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:24,960
Speaker 12: For everybody to see and know. And all I'm suggesting

1455
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 12: as you talk about that is even the Democrats that

1456
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:31,760
Speaker 12: they understood that they were trying to push money into

1457
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:37,679
Speaker 12: the hands of large insurance companies HMOs, who most would

1458
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:40,280
Speaker 12: say make enough money. We're not trying to give them

1459
01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:43,439
Speaker 12: more money. But this is even in their favor, it's

1460
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:46,840
Speaker 12: under it would be in their mindset well, dates to say, hey,

1461
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:49,479
Speaker 12: we don't want to give more money to health insurance

1462
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:52,880
Speaker 12: companies in order to subsidize premiums for everybody else. It's

1463
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:54,960
Speaker 12: not what we're in the business of doing. We want

1464
01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:58,800
Speaker 12: the HMOs to lower the costs in order for because

1465
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:02,240
Speaker 12: we know that a profit margins are already phenomenal. I

1466
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:05,639
Speaker 12: hear your commercials all the time. Go to this location,

1467
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 12: go to this location. This is a way for you

1468
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:11,000
Speaker 12: to save money by going to this location. That's why

1469
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:14,080
Speaker 12: you've seen doctors move away from HMO's and saying, hey,

1470
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:15,880
Speaker 12: I just want you to come in and privately pay

1471
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:18,920
Speaker 12: because guess what, my premiums are two thousand dollars a month.

1472
01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:21,639
Speaker 12: It's easier for me just to pay the doctor out

1473
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:24,200
Speaker 12: of my pocket. This is happening all over the United

1474
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:28,400
Speaker 12: States of America. The reality go back to me, Brian Thomas,

1475
01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:32,559
Speaker 12: is this Democratic Party did not like the outcome of

1476
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:35,280
Speaker 12: the election, and they are attempting to do what they

1477
01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:39,559
Speaker 12: did ten years ago, which is undermined the president that

1478
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:42,759
Speaker 12: they didn't like getting the getting elected, so they're willing

1479
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 12: to shut down the entire government. This is why so

1480
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:49,160
Speaker 12: many people have become independents like me, because you're frustrated

1481
01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:52,840
Speaker 12: at times with both sides, the Democrats and the Republicans.

1482
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:58,800
Speaker 2: Will continue with the enraged Christopher Smithman, which I love

1483
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:04,639
Speaker 2: coming up, don't cod See seven thirty fifty five kersee

1484
01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:07,800
Speaker 2: the talk station bry Thomas with Christopher Smidelman, former Vice

1485
01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:11,200
Speaker 2: Maaron Don Smitherman Christopher Smithman on fire this morning. Brother,

1486
01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:12,080
Speaker 2: you know I love that.

1487
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:16,360
Speaker 12: Well well, Brian, it just it gets my goat because

1488
01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:20,760
Speaker 12: we've we continue to go through these exercises where it

1489
01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:25,120
Speaker 12: seems like even on both sides, I mean Republicans have

1490
01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:28,360
Speaker 12: have have danced around this issue of shutting down the

1491
01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:32,200
Speaker 12: government because they don't like, you know, in my opinion,

1492
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:35,040
Speaker 12: the outcome of the election and the results had you know,

1493
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:37,800
Speaker 12: the government out of control and spending, so oh, we're

1494
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:39,680
Speaker 12: going to shut the government down. I don't think this

1495
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:43,400
Speaker 12: should ever be on the table in my opinion, shutting

1496
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:47,960
Speaker 12: our government down. But let me acknowledge Senator Mastow, I

1497
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:53,960
Speaker 12: will pronounce their names right, Senator Dermott, Senator Fetterman, Hassan Cain, King,

1498
01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:58,839
Speaker 12: Rosen and Shaheen who all voted to open up our government.

1499
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:03,439
Speaker 12: Those Democrats who crossed the line, and we appreciate that.

1500
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:06,479
Speaker 12: I'm sad that it took them forty days to do it,

1501
01:22:07,320 --> 01:22:10,479
Speaker 12: but they've done it. The damage has already been done

1502
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:13,479
Speaker 12: to the public. We have no idea how this is

1503
01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:16,920
Speaker 12: going to impact our GDP. We see that our airline

1504
01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:20,160
Speaker 12: CVG is a mess. It'll be a mess today. Chicago

1505
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:21,680
Speaker 12: is going to be a mess. New York is going

1506
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:24,160
Speaker 12: to be a mess because guess what the government still

1507
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:27,439
Speaker 12: today isn't open, Like there's still there's still votes that

1508
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:30,479
Speaker 12: have to take place between now and Wednesday. And what's

1509
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:34,519
Speaker 12: so insane is that the senators think we're crazy. Where

1510
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:36,519
Speaker 12: they think they're trying to like what do you say,

1511
01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:39,919
Speaker 12: say faith, where they're like, oh, we got a promise

1512
01:22:40,439 --> 01:22:43,439
Speaker 12: that we're going to vote on this healthcare bill sometime

1513
01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:47,120
Speaker 12: in December. A promise. Right, they don't have the vote

1514
01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 12: to pass it. There's this up or down vote. They're

1515
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:53,559
Speaker 12: gonna lose anyway. That right, that's what you were. Yes,

1516
01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:56,639
Speaker 12: they already know it, but that's that language is in

1517
01:22:56,720 --> 01:23:00,639
Speaker 12: there to try to confuse the electric as if they

1518
01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:04,439
Speaker 12: gained something by locking out our shutting our government down

1519
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:07,719
Speaker 12: for the last forty days. All they did is hurt

1520
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:12,479
Speaker 12: people right, undermine our economy, and make us look silly

1521
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 12: on the national stage. And so I don't get all

1522
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:18,160
Speaker 12: of it, you know, and I and I share again,

1523
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:22,479
Speaker 12: I'm glad that those moderate Democrats finally cross over. They

1524
01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:25,639
Speaker 12: were the adults in the room. Senator Schumer is sitting

1525
01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 12: around this morning having a temper tantrum. And guess what,

1526
01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:30,719
Speaker 12: he's going to have a primary. He's got to face

1527
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:33,960
Speaker 12: the AOC. She's probably gonna beat him because she wants

1528
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 12: to be a senator. That's why she endorsed the the

1529
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:41,439
Speaker 12: socialist mayor in New York who just got elected, because

1530
01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:44,559
Speaker 12: he's going to endorse her for Senate and he's going

1531
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:47,240
Speaker 12: to lose his seat. He's been there over fifty years.

1532
01:23:47,240 --> 01:23:48,880
Speaker 12: It's time for him to go anywhere. I don't want

1533
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:51,439
Speaker 12: to see a socialist elected, but it's time for him

1534
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:57,840
Speaker 12: to go anywhere anyway, a position who's been in a

1535
01:23:57,840 --> 01:23:59,280
Speaker 12: position all his life.

1536
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:02,160
Speaker 2: I know you would think that I want to enjoy

1537
01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:05,200
Speaker 2: some of my retirement. I mean, Lord Almighty, but they

1538
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:08,760
Speaker 2: just get so overwhelmed and so just filled with this

1539
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:11,759
Speaker 2: power that they think that the world can't exist without

1540
01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 2: them at the helm, which is just preposterous.

1541
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:14,600
Speaker 6: You.

1542
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:16,639
Speaker 2: I mean, Nancy Pelosi's on our way out, and thank God,

1543
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:18,839
Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll be able to survive without her. Okay, Christopher,

1544
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:22,000
Speaker 2: I loved the idea that I think had a lot

1545
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:25,439
Speaker 2: to do with this decision to reopen the government. This

1546
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:28,160
Speaker 2: suggestion that these subsidies as big or small as they

1547
01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:32,200
Speaker 2: may be, go directly to the individual, which will allow

1548
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:35,719
Speaker 2: them to decide what maybe going to the private market.

1549
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:37,679
Speaker 2: Like I talk about with John Roman all the time,

1550
01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 2: some people think that only Obamacare is out there and

1551
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:41,720
Speaker 2: that's the only thing you can get, and that is

1552
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:44,599
Speaker 2: absolutely not true. There are affordable plans in the private

1553
01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 2: market that would work better for most people than Obamacare

1554
01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:50,760
Speaker 2: with a ten thousand plus dollars out of pocket liability.

1555
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:54,240
Speaker 2: If we had the money in our pockets and could decide,

1556
01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:56,559
Speaker 2: market forces would come to bear. And I think the

1557
01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:58,760
Speaker 2: biggest concern for the Democrats is that would be the

1558
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:01,000
Speaker 2: beginning of the end of Obamacare.

1559
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 12: Well, look the healthcare spending accounts where employees all across

1560
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:11,240
Speaker 12: this country are able to take money and defer it

1561
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:16,000
Speaker 12: into those programs before taxes, so they're lowering their overall

1562
01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:19,160
Speaker 12: agi and at the end of the day, that's good

1563
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:23,400
Speaker 12: for their taxes. But hey, the Republicans are saying, you

1564
01:25:23,439 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 12: can use those dollars x to actually use that towards

1565
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 12: what your monthly premiums are, not just for reimbursement for expenses,

1566
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:35,360
Speaker 12: but we can also use those dollars in those plans

1567
01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:38,800
Speaker 12: in order to offset the expenses, and that's what you're

1568
01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:42,280
Speaker 12: talking about. But it also lowers your AGI. Just like

1569
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:43,880
Speaker 12: your four oh one K or your four to oh

1570
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 12: three B, or your KEO or your Simple or any

1571
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:49,000
Speaker 12: other kind of retirement program that you have. You can

1572
01:25:49,080 --> 01:25:52,400
Speaker 12: just use that money now to offset those monthly premiums.

1573
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:57,719
Speaker 12: Bottom line is the Democratic Party would rather those dollars

1574
01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:01,640
Speaker 12: go directly to the agent. But saying, this morning, the

1575
01:26:01,760 --> 01:26:03,719
Speaker 12: insurance company instead of.

1576
01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:08,320
Speaker 2: Us, while they celebrate, while they celebrate the murder of

1577
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:13,519
Speaker 2: insurance company CEOs Christopher Wow. Uh huh oh wait a second,

1578
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:15,640
Speaker 2: we can get back at those evil insurance companies by

1579
01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:17,880
Speaker 2: depriving them the direct dollars they get for the American

1580
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:21,200
Speaker 2: taxpayers via Obamacare. Wow. We can get back at those

1581
01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:24,360
Speaker 2: evil insurance companies and impact their bottom line and profit margin.

1582
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:27,479
Speaker 2: That's a wonderful idea. Sadly we can't embrace it because

1583
01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 2: it came from the Republicans.

1584
01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 12: I'm not suggesting I don't want anybody to believe that.

1585
01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:36,360
Speaker 12: I'm suggesting that, you know, there could be some downward

1586
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:39,760
Speaker 12: pressure on some of these publicly traded companies, these h

1587
01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 12: tomos as we debate whether they get the money or

1588
01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:44,240
Speaker 12: we get the money.

1589
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:47,920
Speaker 13: You think I'd rather us get some money. That's where

1590
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:49,920
Speaker 13: I am. Well, you know, I'm one of those people

1591
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 13: that say, let's invest our social security. Turn it over

1592
01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 13: to me with with very serious handcuffs on it, but

1593
01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:58,800
Speaker 13: allow me to make the decisions on how those dollars

1594
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:01,640
Speaker 13: are invested. And in this notion that the government can

1595
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:03,680
Speaker 13: do better than you and I is insane.

1596
01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:07,760
Speaker 2: Well, it's the same argument Conservatives, Republicans, independence, whatever, make

1597
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:11,080
Speaker 2: for school choice, Let the child, let the money follow

1598
01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:13,599
Speaker 2: the child, let the family decide where the money goes.

1599
01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:16,679
Speaker 2: This is the exact same concept applied to medical insurance.

1600
01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:20,840
Speaker 2: Why should there only be one basically default Obamacare plan?

1601
01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:23,800
Speaker 2: There shouldn't be, But that's the only plan that gets

1602
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:26,360
Speaker 2: the subsidies. Right now, Christopher, how about just making it

1603
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:29,439
Speaker 2: a direct payment to the taxpayer and let them decide.

1604
01:27:29,520 --> 01:27:32,679
Speaker 2: Let's continue with Christopher Smithman one more. It's a time

1605
01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:34,719
Speaker 2: for me to mention the Peter Shabrie group, Keller William

1606
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 2: seventy Monday. Glad here Christopher smith is going to continue

1607
01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:41,639
Speaker 2: on smither vent I feel like it's therapy for you, Christopher,

1608
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:42,920
Speaker 2: get it out of your system. What else do you

1609
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:44,040
Speaker 2: want to talk about this morning.

1610
01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:44,240
Speaker 5: Sir.

1611
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:51,800
Speaker 12: Look, I'm frustrated with conservatives flash Republicans that live in

1612
01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:54,200
Speaker 12: the proper of the city of Cincinnati, in our fifty

1613
01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:58,759
Speaker 12: two neighborhoods. You know, I'm tired of them complaining about

1614
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:02,080
Speaker 12: sample ballot and the loss of the election. This is

1615
01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:05,600
Speaker 12: outside of your listening audience, because I'm sure they all participated.

1616
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:08,479
Speaker 12: They're informed in voters. I've come to the listener lunch.

1617
01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:11,680
Speaker 12: I know they get it. But let me share with you.

1618
01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:14,760
Speaker 12: Only sixty six thousand people are so voted over two

1619
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:18,360
Speaker 12: hundred thousand registered voters. So let's just be fair here

1620
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:21,439
Speaker 12: and say about one hundred and thirty four thousand people

1621
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:26,599
Speaker 12: didn't vote who were registered to vote, they didn't participate, right,

1622
01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:28,720
Speaker 12: And we can't say that one hundred and thirty four

1623
01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:33,360
Speaker 12: thousand all those people are all Democrats, were liberals, right,

1624
01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:36,280
Speaker 12: There were a lot of Republicans and Conservatives who sit

1625
01:28:36,360 --> 01:28:40,599
Speaker 12: around bars, sit in restaurants, go to Thanksgiving dinners, go

1626
01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:44,200
Speaker 12: to Christmas, and they complain about the city of Cincinnati

1627
01:28:44,479 --> 01:28:47,519
Speaker 12: and how they just can't stand it. The reality of

1628
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:52,599
Speaker 12: it is, elections have consequences. So I tell people, if

1629
01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:56,160
Speaker 12: you didn't vote, it's public information, meaning I don't know

1630
01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:58,360
Speaker 12: who you voted for. But if I know your name

1631
01:28:58,400 --> 01:28:59,680
Speaker 12: and I know your address, I can go to the

1632
01:28:59,720 --> 01:29:02,200
Speaker 12: Border elections and look it up and go you didn't vote.

1633
01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:05,000
Speaker 12: You voted last year, but you didn't vote in this election,

1634
01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:09,400
Speaker 12: So shut your mouth. Shut your mouth. I don't want

1635
01:29:09,400 --> 01:29:12,360
Speaker 12: to hear it. You're a zero as it relates to

1636
01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:15,040
Speaker 12: this election. I'm not bitter about the outcome. I just

1637
01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:17,560
Speaker 12: don't like hypocrisy. I don't like people coming up to

1638
01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:20,839
Speaker 12: me saying they're complaining about whatever election they're not registered

1639
01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:22,920
Speaker 12: to vote, or they are registered to vote and they

1640
01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:27,920
Speaker 12: didn't participate. Shut your mouth. The violence is going to continue, right,

1641
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:30,799
Speaker 12: They're going to be blowing people away downtown. That's already

1642
01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:33,880
Speaker 12: happening as you indicate it. We've got people on a

1643
01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:37,439
Speaker 12: bus shooting. We got people on a metro and the

1644
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:41,400
Speaker 12: bus is caught in the cross fire. But guess what,

1645
01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:45,240
Speaker 12: we had all that information before the election. Corey Bowman

1646
01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:48,920
Speaker 12: told everybody what was going down. You didn't listen. He

1647
01:29:48,920 --> 01:29:51,360
Speaker 12: said they're shooting. We said this. Mayor said he didn't

1648
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:55,080
Speaker 12: care about development in the fifty two neighborhoods, including Hyde Park,

1649
01:29:55,160 --> 01:29:58,840
Speaker 12: High Park, overwhelmingly voted for this mayor. That's the reality

1650
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:03,439
Speaker 12: of where we are. Guess what elections have consequences. So

1651
01:30:03,479 --> 01:30:06,040
Speaker 12: if you live in Hyde Parker Mount Lookout and you

1652
01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:09,120
Speaker 12: decided to sit the election out, don't complain about how

1653
01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:15,120
Speaker 12: this development goes down. That's what frustrates me. Brian Thomas. Okay,

1654
01:30:15,160 --> 01:30:18,559
Speaker 12: we spend time talking about how did African Americans vote,

1655
01:30:18,600 --> 01:30:21,559
Speaker 12: how did the sample ballot go? They use that they

1656
01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:25,200
Speaker 12: just are uninformed. What about the one hundred and thirty

1657
01:30:25,240 --> 01:30:28,160
Speaker 12: two thousand people who didn't show up at all?

1658
01:30:28,280 --> 01:30:30,200
Speaker 2: Okay, do you have any theories about why we were

1659
01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:33,559
Speaker 2: talking about that? Earlier? Someone suggested that, you know, parents

1660
01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:37,040
Speaker 2: don't want tough on crime criminal justice because their own

1661
01:30:37,080 --> 01:30:39,360
Speaker 2: young person in the home might get locked up. And

1662
01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:41,799
Speaker 2: I don't buy that that there are that many voters

1663
01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:43,479
Speaker 2: that were driven to the polls out of fear that

1664
01:30:43,560 --> 01:30:46,400
Speaker 2: their own young person might get arrested. That suggests to

1665
01:30:46,439 --> 01:30:48,000
Speaker 2: me that they got a problem with their young people,

1666
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:50,160
Speaker 2: that they might be involved in the criminal justice system.

1667
01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:52,559
Speaker 2: So I don't believe that for a moment. Do you

1668
01:30:52,560 --> 01:30:55,479
Speaker 2: think it's just this built in apathy from voters thinking

1669
01:30:55,479 --> 01:30:57,559
Speaker 2: there is no way my vote can have a difference

1670
01:30:57,600 --> 01:31:00,080
Speaker 2: in this blue city. They keep going blue over and

1671
01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:03,240
Speaker 2: over again. Why bother? I mean, I just don't understand

1672
01:31:03,280 --> 01:31:04,400
Speaker 2: why you wouldn't vote.

1673
01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:08,679
Speaker 12: That's why. That's why Brian. Look in the national election,

1674
01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:12,280
Speaker 12: all of the major parties, meaning each side raises about

1675
01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:15,679
Speaker 12: two billions. I think President Barack Obama raised the first

1676
01:31:15,720 --> 01:31:18,280
Speaker 12: billion dollars for the election. So to be the president,

1677
01:31:18,360 --> 01:31:21,840
Speaker 12: you've got to raise over a billion dollars in order

1678
01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:24,400
Speaker 12: to compete in this space. So just look at the

1679
01:31:24,439 --> 01:31:27,679
Speaker 12: presidential race. There's going to be you know, four billion

1680
01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:30,760
Speaker 12: dollars four years from now spending that election. What do

1681
01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:34,200
Speaker 12: they do? They spend that time educating you, robo calling you,

1682
01:31:34,479 --> 01:31:37,400
Speaker 12: sending lit to your house, putting TV commercials up so

1683
01:31:37,560 --> 01:31:41,559
Speaker 12: everybody's informed. You have to have the lightbulb going on

1684
01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:44,720
Speaker 12: in your head that there's a local election, because you're

1685
01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:48,200
Speaker 12: not watching your TV telling you there's an election going on. So,

1686
01:31:48,320 --> 01:31:51,120
Speaker 12: by the way, both parties focus on the national stuff

1687
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:53,880
Speaker 12: and they play down the local. They all want to

1688
01:31:53,880 --> 01:31:57,520
Speaker 12: control the local game, and so they don't over advertise,

1689
01:31:57,560 --> 01:32:00,800
Speaker 12: they don't over emphasize that there is there is even

1690
01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:02,719
Speaker 12: an election. I cannot tell you the number of doors.

1691
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:04,599
Speaker 12: I knocked on and people said to me, I'm glad

1692
01:32:04,680 --> 01:32:07,519
Speaker 12: you not. I didn't know there was an election period.

1693
01:32:07,560 --> 01:32:10,120
Speaker 12: I didn't know what was happening. People are that busy,

1694
01:32:10,160 --> 01:32:13,599
Speaker 12: they're that disconnected from what is going on around this.

1695
01:32:13,600 --> 01:32:17,480
Speaker 12: This has nothing to do with the criminal justice. They

1696
01:32:17,600 --> 01:32:19,840
Speaker 12: believe they want to be hard on crime. But you

1697
01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:22,000
Speaker 12: have to be informed. You have to be the things

1698
01:32:22,040 --> 01:32:24,280
Speaker 12: that we tell our children. We've got to do our homework.

1699
01:32:24,280 --> 01:32:26,080
Speaker 12: It's time to do your homework. It's time for you

1700
01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:27,840
Speaker 12: to be ready. It's time for you to put your

1701
01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:30,280
Speaker 12: code on this cold outside. It's like if you're not

1702
01:32:30,479 --> 01:32:33,960
Speaker 12: telling these voters that there is even an election, because,

1703
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:36,400
Speaker 12: by the way, you have two presidential candidates that are

1704
01:32:36,400 --> 01:32:39,839
Speaker 12: spending four billion dollars to tell you there is an election,

1705
01:32:40,160 --> 01:32:42,080
Speaker 12: come out and vote. They don't show up.

1706
01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:44,400
Speaker 2: Now and see you stumbled upon the reality here why

1707
01:32:44,439 --> 01:32:47,439
Speaker 2: people didn't vote. They must be informed. People must be informed.

1708
01:32:47,479 --> 01:32:51,240
Speaker 2: The only reason that billion or two billion has any

1709
01:32:51,240 --> 01:32:54,559
Speaker 2: influence whatsoever. And if you asked me, Brian Thomas, do

1710
01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:58,080
Speaker 2: you need someone spending advertising dollars for you to make

1711
01:32:58,080 --> 01:32:59,960
Speaker 2: a determination on who you want to vote for? But like, no,

1712
01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:03,000
Speaker 2: I follow those stuff every damn day. If I didn't

1713
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:05,639
Speaker 2: see one mail or one flyer, one ad, I'd still

1714
01:33:05,680 --> 01:33:06,800
Speaker 2: know who I was going to vote for in the

1715
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:09,040
Speaker 2: election because I pay attention to the issues. This is

1716
01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:12,559
Speaker 2: exactly why that money matters, because what they do with

1717
01:33:12,680 --> 01:33:16,400
Speaker 2: the money is not inform people. They dupe them. They oh,

1718
01:33:16,479 --> 01:33:18,360
Speaker 2: look at the little monkey every day. Oh do you

1719
01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:21,439
Speaker 2: pay no attention to the behind the current? It's behind

1720
01:33:21,479 --> 01:33:24,479
Speaker 2: the curtain. It's maga, it's evil, It's Trump's half brother.

1721
01:33:24,520 --> 01:33:25,080
Speaker 2: Bye b bra.

1722
01:33:25,360 --> 01:33:25,519
Speaker 4: Oh.

1723
01:33:25,680 --> 01:33:28,040
Speaker 2: That message only works for people who don't get the

1724
01:33:28,040 --> 01:33:31,759
Speaker 2: bigger picture and study the weeds. That's why that money matters.

1725
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:34,640
Speaker 2: It just breaks my heart matters. It just breaks my

1726
01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:35,360
Speaker 2: heart matters.

1727
01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:38,160
Speaker 12: And we and we pay the prices that people so

1728
01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:41,400
Speaker 12: we're actually not informed. We're not doubting. We know that.

1729
01:33:41,479 --> 01:33:44,360
Speaker 12: By the way, there'll be billions of dollars stint next

1730
01:33:44,439 --> 01:33:47,280
Speaker 12: year in the two year elections, So everybody will be

1731
01:33:47,320 --> 01:33:50,719
Speaker 12: gearing up, everybody will be registering. Everybody will be knocking

1732
01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:53,519
Speaker 12: on your doors, meaning the parties will have volunteers out

1733
01:33:53,720 --> 01:33:55,760
Speaker 12: going door to door saying did you vote today? Did

1734
01:33:55,760 --> 01:33:58,120
Speaker 12: you vote today? Robo calling, Hey, I see you. I'm

1735
01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:00,280
Speaker 12: talking about on election day. I'm want to know I

1736
01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:01,760
Speaker 12: didn't see you show up and vote. Will you show

1737
01:34:01,800 --> 01:34:04,840
Speaker 12: up and vote? The local the National Party spend all

1738
01:34:04,920 --> 01:34:07,600
Speaker 12: kinds of money to make sure that you know. And

1739
01:34:07,640 --> 01:34:09,559
Speaker 12: when you don't vote at six point thirty in the morning,

1740
01:34:09,640 --> 01:34:11,400
Speaker 12: they begin to call you and remind you on your

1741
01:34:11,400 --> 01:34:13,800
Speaker 12: cell phones and on your landline and any way could

1742
01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:16,000
Speaker 12: get you to say, I need you to show up.

1743
01:34:16,160 --> 01:34:18,479
Speaker 12: Here's what I want to explain to your public before

1744
01:34:18,520 --> 01:34:20,639
Speaker 12: we you're listening artists, Before we get off here, I'm

1745
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:23,080
Speaker 12: gonna talk a little bit about PG sitten Field locally,

1746
01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:26,519
Speaker 12: very rarely talked about, and I'm gonna connect these dots

1747
01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:30,840
Speaker 12: for you. PG Sittenfeild was the guy who everybody thought

1748
01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:33,200
Speaker 12: was going to be the next mayor. Right, They thought

1749
01:34:33,200 --> 01:34:35,679
Speaker 12: he was going to be the next governor. They thought

1750
01:34:35,720 --> 01:34:38,880
Speaker 12: he was gonna be whatever, a congressional member. He got

1751
01:34:38,880 --> 01:34:42,200
Speaker 12: caught up with an FBI seeing up in a hotel

1752
01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:46,040
Speaker 12: room in Columbus buying selling votes. The reality of it,

1753
01:34:46,280 --> 01:34:48,959
Speaker 12: Listen to this, listen to this detail is so critical.

1754
01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:53,599
Speaker 12: You have the MAGA people meeting, you have this this

1755
01:34:54,400 --> 01:34:58,240
Speaker 12: mayor mayor APTAP polling and figuring out if I just say, Maga, maga, maga.

1756
01:34:58,320 --> 01:35:00,439
Speaker 12: We're gonna make sure that the Democrats show and vote

1757
01:35:00,479 --> 01:35:04,000
Speaker 12: against Corey Bowman by just emphasizing that this is JD.

1758
01:35:04,120 --> 01:35:08,040
Speaker 12: Vance's half brother. But they don't say that PG Sidon

1759
01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:15,439
Speaker 12: Failed hired Donald Trump's lawyer. He then negotiated a full

1760
01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:21,440
Speaker 12: pardon by this president, Donald Trump. You haven't seen one editorial.

1761
01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:26,120
Speaker 12: You haven't seen that Democratic party. Nobody say that PG

1762
01:35:26,240 --> 01:35:30,559
Speaker 12: Sidon felt, who was the biggest Democrat locally, who actually

1763
01:35:30,680 --> 01:35:35,919
Speaker 12: hired Trump's lawyer and negotiated a full pardon in his situation.

1764
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:38,879
Speaker 12: Look for PG Sittenfield to come back, run for city council,

1765
01:35:39,160 --> 01:35:42,240
Speaker 12: run for mayor, run for Congress, run for governor, and

1766
01:35:42,360 --> 01:35:45,479
Speaker 12: watch the Democrats, in their hypocrisy vote for him. They'll

1767
01:35:45,479 --> 01:35:48,439
Speaker 12: tell us, don't vote for Corey Bowman to have brother

1768
01:35:48,520 --> 01:35:51,240
Speaker 12: of the Vice President of the United States of America.

1769
01:35:51,439 --> 01:35:55,160
Speaker 12: But they'll say, vote for PG sidon Fail, No problem.

1770
01:35:55,880 --> 01:35:58,240
Speaker 12: This is the guy that went directly to Trump and

1771
01:35:58,360 --> 01:36:00,280
Speaker 12: asked him to pardon me. So I have a.

1784
01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:33,320
Speaker 2: it mean to shut down? Probably over low cost EFTs

Speaker 2: don't didn't take all of their vacation days. Also may

1789
01:36:45,200 --> 01:36:47,240
Speaker 2: get a word or two in from him about Pelosi's

1790
01:36:47,960 --> 01:36:50,639
Speaker 2: return rate on her investments while she was an elected capacity,

1791
01:36:50,640 --> 01:36:52,080
Speaker 2: a little bit better than you and I would have done.

1792
01:36:52,080 --> 01:36:55,519
Speaker 2: That's for damn sure. Anyway, real quick here, Trump suggested

1793
01:36:55,600 --> 01:36:57,479
Speaker 2: fifty year mortgages is a way to deal with the

1794
01:36:57,520 --> 01:37:00,959
Speaker 2: housing struggle because people can't afford a mortgage, so traditionally

1795
01:37:00,960 --> 01:37:03,519
Speaker 2: thirty year mortgages and it's been that way since the

1796
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:07,599
Speaker 2: Roosevelt's New Deal era nineteen thirties, thirty year fix came

1797
01:37:07,640 --> 01:37:12,360
Speaker 2: into being. Tell people to deal with affordability. Fine. Some

1798
01:37:12,560 --> 01:37:14,880
Speaker 2: are saying, no fifty year mortgage, Well, this is going

1799
01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:19,519
Speaker 2: to be a saddle families with lifetime debt. Oh Marjorie

1800
01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:21,600
Speaker 2: Taylor Green, I don't like fifty year mortgages as a

1801
01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:24,639
Speaker 2: solution to the affordability crisis. Will ultimately reward the banks,

1802
01:37:24,680 --> 01:37:27,599
Speaker 2: mortgage lenders, and home builders while people pay far more

1803
01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:29,679
Speaker 2: in interest over time and die before they ever pay

1804
01:37:29,680 --> 01:37:32,479
Speaker 2: off their home in debt forever, in debt in life,

1805
01:37:32,479 --> 01:37:34,960
Speaker 2: to which I say, well, isn't that what rent is?

1806
01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:39,120
Speaker 2: If you are in a fifty year mortgage, Not that

1807
01:37:39,160 --> 01:37:41,160
Speaker 2: I necessarily would recommend it, but if it's a vehicle

1808
01:37:41,160 --> 01:37:43,920
Speaker 2: for you to buy something and start building equity, you

1809
01:37:43,960 --> 01:37:46,559
Speaker 2: at least have equity. Do you have to stick with

1810
01:37:46,600 --> 01:37:48,920
Speaker 2: a fifty year fixed mortgage? No, you can refinance it.

1811
01:37:49,840 --> 01:37:51,240
Speaker 2: At one point my wife and I went from a

1812
01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:53,240
Speaker 2: thirty year fix to a fifteen year fix. You know what,

1813
01:37:53,320 --> 01:37:56,320
Speaker 2: You can also pay a head. You can apply your

1814
01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:59,160
Speaker 2: extra payment, even as small as ten bucks or whatever

1815
01:37:59,200 --> 01:38:03,360
Speaker 2: a month. Principle, of course, your equity or your your

1816
01:38:03,400 --> 01:38:05,559
Speaker 2: interest is front loaded on a mortgage payment, But that

1817
01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:07,880
Speaker 2: doesn't mean you can't start shaving away the ech or

1818
01:38:07,920 --> 01:38:10,320
Speaker 2: the I start applying money to equity by just paying

1819
01:38:10,320 --> 01:38:13,280
Speaker 2: a little bit more than the monthly nut. And then again,

1820
01:38:13,320 --> 01:38:16,839
Speaker 2: you know, once your situation improves from young person to older,

1821
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:21,320
Speaker 2: more you know, more established in the career, presumably making

1822
01:38:21,360 --> 01:38:25,040
Speaker 2: more money, the opportunity to refinance or put money toward

1823
01:38:25,400 --> 01:38:31,200
Speaker 2: the equity increases. So and one more to that point.

1824
01:38:31,560 --> 01:38:34,759
Speaker 2: If thirty year fixed mortgages were great in the nineteen

1825
01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:37,080
Speaker 2: thirties as a way to help with affordability, do you

1826
01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:39,720
Speaker 2: know how old you lived? I looked it up statistically,

1827
01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:42,320
Speaker 2: between nineteen twenty nine and nineteen thirty one, average lifespan

1828
01:38:42,400 --> 01:38:46,360
Speaker 2: for a man fifty seven point seven years. Do the

1829
01:38:46,400 --> 01:38:49,280
Speaker 2: math on that. With a thirty year fixed mortgage, average

1830
01:38:49,320 --> 01:38:52,639
Speaker 2: lifespan now in the eighties. So is there really any

1831
01:38:52,680 --> 01:38:55,599
Speaker 2: difference in terms of being saddled with a lifetime mortgage

1832
01:38:55,640 --> 01:38:58,280
Speaker 2: then versus now? Hell, you only lived a sixty one

1833
01:38:58,320 --> 01:39:00,040
Speaker 2: and a half years old between nineteen thirty nine in

1834
01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:04,000
Speaker 2: nineteen forty one, so this hole saddled with debt for

1835
01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:06,600
Speaker 2: the rest of your life. Situation has been in appliciing

1836
01:39:07,200 --> 01:39:13,040
Speaker 2: in reality effectively since the nineteen thirties, so possible. Yeah,

1837
01:39:13,160 --> 01:39:17,280
Speaker 2: it will not solve though the supply problem. Well, it

1838
01:39:17,320 --> 01:39:21,400
Speaker 2: may put the concept of affordability within people's range. Just

1839
01:39:21,920 --> 01:39:24,040
Speaker 2: because that option is available doesn't mean there's going to

1840
01:39:24,080 --> 01:39:27,640
Speaker 2: be an additional influx or increase in housing availability. And

1841
01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:31,479
Speaker 2: that's the real challenge right now. Maybe Money Monday's Brian

1842
01:39:31,560 --> 01:39:33,280
Speaker 2: James will chime in on that. We'll find out together

1843
01:39:33,320 --> 01:39:34,519
Speaker 2: after the top of the hour news. I hope you

1844
01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:35,160
Speaker 2: can stick around.

1845
01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:41,400
Speaker 7: Today's top headline socialist New York City longest shutdown.

01:39:58,720 --> 01:40:02,559
Speaker 2: for a few segments for a listening audience. Enjoyment and edification.

1852
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:04,960
Speaker 2: Welcome back, Brian James. Hope you had a nice weekend.

1853
01:40:05,200 --> 01:40:08,679
Speaker 15: I am here again to provide enjoyment and edification. I'm

1854
01:40:08,680 --> 01:40:09,479
Speaker 15: going to tell my.

1855
01:40:09,439 --> 01:40:14,479
Speaker 2: Wife that there you go as I do, right, and

1856
01:40:14,520 --> 01:40:16,840
Speaker 2: we don't have to lament another Bengals loss since it

1857
01:40:16,880 --> 01:40:17,799
Speaker 2: didn't play yesterday.

1858
01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:20,360
Speaker 15: So I wasn't going to ruin things by bringing that up.

1859
01:40:20,439 --> 01:40:22,000
Speaker 2: But there you become tradition.

1860
01:40:22,320 --> 01:40:25,280
Speaker 15: Brian, it's Monday, it's time to gripe, all right, your

1861
01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:28,880
Speaker 15: reaction to the apparent shutdown being over. I guess I

1862
01:40:28,920 --> 01:40:31,680
Speaker 15: saw what the Democrats got by way of quote unquote concessions.

1863
01:40:31,680 --> 01:40:34,160
Speaker 15: Not a tremendous amount, notably the return of the federal

1864
01:40:34,160 --> 01:40:36,120
Speaker 15: eployees had been laid off. They never would have been

1865
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,160
Speaker 15: laid off had the government not shut not gotten shut

1866
01:40:38,160 --> 01:40:39,600
Speaker 15: down in the first place, So I don't view that

1867
01:40:39,640 --> 01:40:42,200
Speaker 15: as much of a concession by the Republicans. But kicking

1868
01:40:42,200 --> 01:40:45,520
Speaker 15: the vote on the extension of the supplements and promising

1869
01:40:45,520 --> 01:40:48,120
Speaker 15: a vote in December does not mean those extensions are

1870
01:40:48,120 --> 01:40:51,840
Speaker 15: going to get increased or extended. I firmly doubt that

1871
01:40:51,880 --> 01:40:55,360
Speaker 15: they will. So what does this mean. I think it

1872
01:40:55,439 --> 01:40:57,960
Speaker 15: means more that they get to go home for vacation.

1873
01:40:58,040 --> 01:41:01,520
Speaker 15: They're hoping there's enough time between now and holidays, notably Thanksgiving,

1874
01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:03,960
Speaker 15: to get the air traffic control situation worked out. I'm

1875
01:41:03,960 --> 01:41:06,080
Speaker 15: sure they were hearing from the constituents about that. Given

1876
01:41:06,120 --> 01:41:08,840
Speaker 15: the thousands of flights that got canceled. They too want

1877
01:41:08,880 --> 01:41:11,479
Speaker 15: to go home for vacation. But maybe it has more

1878
01:41:11,479 --> 01:41:16,240
Speaker 15: to do with perhaps offering Obamacare subsidies directly to individuals

1879
01:41:16,240 --> 01:41:18,639
Speaker 15: so they can select on the free market what plan

1880
01:41:18,720 --> 01:41:21,320
Speaker 15: they want. Given the massive number of opportunities in the

1881
01:41:21,320 --> 01:41:24,200
Speaker 15: private insurance market to get policies for less money and

1882
01:41:24,240 --> 01:41:27,000
Speaker 15: a policy that's tailored to your specific needs. I think

1883
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:29,479
Speaker 15: that's frightened them because that means to me, the end

1884
01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:32,800
Speaker 15: of Obamacare. Well, that could be, and that would be

1885
01:41:33,360 --> 01:41:36,920
Speaker 15: a major push for Republicans that's gone on. We're sneaking

1886
01:41:36,960 --> 01:41:40,639
Speaker 15: up twenty years now on Obamacare. Maybe not quite that many,

1887
01:41:40,640 --> 01:41:42,519
Speaker 15: but still that was That's how far back you have

1888
01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:46,080
Speaker 15: to go to when the administration occurred. So the headline

1889
01:41:46,120 --> 01:41:49,280
Speaker 15: is that Yester, the Senate voted sixty forty to advance

1890
01:41:49,280 --> 01:41:51,720
Speaker 15: a funding measure known as a procedural vote. We've done

1891
01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:52,360
Speaker 15: this before.

1892
01:41:52,520 --> 01:41:54,120
Speaker 2: This is how we get away.

1893
01:41:53,840 --> 01:41:55,800
Speaker 15: With just extending it out. We're going to kick the

1894
01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:58,080
Speaker 15: can just a little bit longer. That's going to allow

1895
01:41:58,160 --> 01:42:00,599
Speaker 15: some debate and move the bill forward. Is a stop

1896
01:42:00,640 --> 01:42:04,280
Speaker 15: gap funding resolution that's basically going to temporarily fund the

1897
01:42:04,320 --> 01:42:07,000
Speaker 15: government through January thirtieth. This is what when we see

1898
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:08,880
Speaker 15: these procedural votes, this is what it is. It's about

1899
01:42:08,960 --> 01:42:12,280
Speaker 15: kicking the can. Let's address the immediate issue without solving

1900
01:42:12,320 --> 01:42:17,439
Speaker 15: the primary issue. So involved in this is reversing the

1901
01:42:17,439 --> 01:42:20,080
Speaker 15: firings and layoffs of federal workers done during the shutdown

1902
01:42:20,240 --> 01:42:22,640
Speaker 15: and guaranteeing their back pay. That's part of the compromise.

1903
01:42:22,960 --> 01:42:24,720
Speaker 15: And then a commitment, this is really the big thing,

1904
01:42:24,760 --> 01:42:27,280
Speaker 15: a commitment to hold a future vote on extending the

1905
01:42:27,320 --> 01:42:30,400
Speaker 15: health insurance premium tax credits that are available under the

1906
01:42:30,479 --> 01:42:33,920
Speaker 15: Affordable Care Actor Obamacare. But that's no guarantee that those

1907
01:42:33,960 --> 01:42:37,639
Speaker 15: ACA subsidies are going to be extended in this bill. Basically,

1908
01:42:37,640 --> 01:42:39,479
Speaker 15: it's got to get through the Senate completely, and then

1909
01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:41,599
Speaker 15: it'll go to the House like allways, and then finally

1910
01:42:41,720 --> 01:42:44,400
Speaker 15: to be signed by President Trump and that will officially

1911
01:42:44,520 --> 01:42:47,080
Speaker 15: end the funding gap. So, you know, I think you're right,

1912
01:42:47,120 --> 01:42:49,840
Speaker 15: that's probably what they're shooting for. But I don't know.

1913
01:42:49,960 --> 01:42:53,200
Speaker 15: I'm looking at these at the recent results of the

1914
01:42:53,200 --> 01:42:54,960
Speaker 15: midterms here, and I wonder if they're going to have

1915
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:56,799
Speaker 15: the support that they'll need to push it through.

1916
01:42:56,880 --> 01:42:58,760
Speaker 2: Well, whether they know they have the support or not,

1917
01:42:58,840 --> 01:43:00,840
Speaker 2: we were talking earlier about you kind of have to

1918
01:43:00,840 --> 01:43:04,679
Speaker 2: be a real weed dweller to understand the connection between

1919
01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:08,880
Speaker 2: all these ins and outs and different legislation. I think

1920
01:43:08,920 --> 01:43:12,000
Speaker 2: collectively can agree most people probably do not have all

1921
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:14,800
Speaker 2: that information. For example, they wouldn't even understand right now

1922
01:43:14,800 --> 01:43:17,360
Speaker 2: because most people don't that there is a private medical

1923
01:43:17,360 --> 01:43:20,880
Speaker 2: insurance market out there that's thriving, something that offers an

1924
01:43:20,880 --> 01:43:23,599
Speaker 2: alternative to Obamacare. I talk about this with John Rohman

1925
01:43:23,600 --> 01:43:25,120
Speaker 2: all the time. I speak for him. I do a

1926
01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:27,720
Speaker 2: weekend show on the whole idea. There's a lot of

1927
01:43:27,720 --> 01:43:31,120
Speaker 2: better options out there. Even insurance agents aren't aware of

1928
01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:33,559
Speaker 2: this reality. But if you give people the money themselves,

1929
01:43:33,640 --> 01:43:35,400
Speaker 2: much in the same way I'm an advocate for letting

1930
01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:38,120
Speaker 2: the money follow the student as opposed to go directly

1931
01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:41,840
Speaker 2: to the school, you have a great argument. You're not

1932
01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:45,680
Speaker 2: giving money to the evil insurance companies. And Democrats hate

1933
01:43:45,720 --> 01:43:48,240
Speaker 2: these big insurance companies. They celebrate when the United Way

1934
01:43:48,320 --> 01:43:50,640
Speaker 2: CEO got his head blown off. I mean, you know

1935
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:52,599
Speaker 2: they're going to have a tough erd of home marketing.

1936
01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:55,240
Speaker 2: The whole idea of not going down this road, even

1937
01:43:55,280 --> 01:43:57,560
Speaker 2: though it would it would be the demise of Obamacare

1938
01:43:57,600 --> 01:43:59,040
Speaker 2: from my perspective.

1939
01:43:58,600 --> 01:44:00,600
Speaker 15: Well, let me ask you this, because maybe you know

1940
01:44:00,760 --> 01:44:02,240
Speaker 15: more than I do about this. Matter of fact, I'll

1941
01:44:02,240 --> 01:44:04,600
Speaker 15: go ahead and say you do, because you've shared some

1942
01:44:04,640 --> 01:44:06,400
Speaker 15: details you kind of educate me a little bit. So

1943
01:44:06,439 --> 01:44:09,519
Speaker 15: my question to you, Brian Thomas is the insurance companies

1944
01:44:09,560 --> 01:44:12,320
Speaker 15: are still all behind this. So if their motivations are

1945
01:44:12,600 --> 01:44:14,680
Speaker 15: you know, profit and all these other things that I

1946
01:44:14,760 --> 01:44:17,599
Speaker 15: that both sides are speaking that they hate, then how

1947
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:20,640
Speaker 15: does it change when the funding mechanism changes. Aren't we

1948
01:44:20,720 --> 01:44:23,559
Speaker 15: still going to be slaves to companies that are still

1949
01:44:23,560 --> 01:44:26,160
Speaker 15: basically focused primarily on profit margin and not the end

1950
01:44:26,160 --> 01:44:27,520
Speaker 15: results competition.

1951
01:44:28,160 --> 01:44:32,280
Speaker 2: Obamacare is supported. It's the only insurance option out there,

1952
01:44:32,360 --> 01:44:36,000
Speaker 2: government controlled, it may be that is eligible for these subsidies.

1953
01:44:36,680 --> 01:44:40,599
Speaker 2: That way, if you give money to people directly, every

1954
01:44:40,840 --> 01:44:43,800
Speaker 2: insurance company is eligible for subsidies. And there are some

1955
01:44:43,960 --> 01:44:47,120
Speaker 2: far better policies out there, far more competitive, far less

1956
01:44:47,120 --> 01:44:50,640
Speaker 2: out of pocket liability and responsibility. Monthly premiums can be

1957
01:44:50,640 --> 01:44:53,759
Speaker 2: more affordable. It's just knowing how to stack your insurance policies,

1958
01:44:53,760 --> 01:44:56,000
Speaker 2: which there are people well again like my friend John Roman,

1959
01:44:56,040 --> 01:44:58,280
Speaker 2: who I do advertise for that do this all the time.

1960
01:44:59,080 --> 01:45:02,320
Speaker 2: Just allowing that to go really anywhere, like allowing the

1961
01:45:02,800 --> 01:45:05,240
Speaker 2: school funding not just to go to public schools, but

1962
01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:09,000
Speaker 2: to go to any school of the parent's choice. Competition

1963
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:11,600
Speaker 2: gets built and created. It forces people to run a

1964
01:45:11,640 --> 01:45:15,120
Speaker 2: better well oil machine. It forces policy prices to come

1965
01:45:15,160 --> 01:45:18,320
Speaker 2: down because they're in market competition with everybody else for

1966
01:45:18,320 --> 01:45:18,919
Speaker 2: a change.

1967
01:45:19,439 --> 01:45:22,599
Speaker 15: Is it flexible enough? I mean, I'm sure we don't

1968
01:45:22,640 --> 01:45:24,720
Speaker 15: know these things yet, but I'm just wondering if it's

1969
01:45:24,720 --> 01:45:27,599
Speaker 15: flexible enough to cover and are people in a position

1970
01:45:27,680 --> 01:45:30,160
Speaker 15: yet where they know what they need and how to

1971
01:45:30,240 --> 01:45:30,960
Speaker 15: navigate through it.

1972
01:45:31,320 --> 01:45:34,640
Speaker 2: That's why you have an expert like you in financial

1973
01:45:34,720 --> 01:45:37,920
Speaker 2: planning to answer the questions on behalf of the clients

1974
01:45:37,920 --> 01:45:41,120
Speaker 2: that you represent, Like for example, you are sitting in

1975
01:45:41,160 --> 01:45:44,200
Speaker 2: a fiduciary capacity for those who are relying on your

1976
01:45:44,280 --> 01:45:47,639
Speaker 2: services to invest their retirement funds. You owe them an

1977
01:45:47,680 --> 01:45:50,800
Speaker 2: obligation to explain all this now if you don't understand it.

1978
01:45:50,880 --> 01:45:53,840
Speaker 2: John Ruhlman is working for you, for example, he has

1979
01:45:53,880 --> 01:45:56,320
Speaker 2: to explain it all and tell you exactly why what

1980
01:45:56,439 --> 01:45:59,040
Speaker 2: happens under this option, what it's ultimately going to cost you,

1981
01:45:59,080 --> 01:46:02,040
Speaker 2: factoring in monthly premiums out of pockets here if we

1982
01:46:02,080 --> 01:46:04,240
Speaker 2: look at this option over here in the private sector,

1983
01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:06,360
Speaker 2: we can put it together this way, and here's the

1984
01:46:06,400 --> 01:46:09,760
Speaker 2: real cost benefit or the real cost to you. Here's

1985
01:46:09,800 --> 01:46:11,280
Speaker 2: what you're going to be paying out of pocket. Here's

1986
01:46:11,280 --> 01:46:14,000
Speaker 2: what your exposure is from a liability perspective in your

1987
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:16,280
Speaker 2: monthly premiums. So it's all spelled out on paper.

1988
01:46:16,640 --> 01:46:18,920
Speaker 15: Yes, I agree. Now here's a weakness in what you

1989
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:21,719
Speaker 15: just described though, that is not the term fiduciary doesn't

1990
01:46:21,760 --> 01:46:24,160
Speaker 15: exist in health insurance industry. This isn't you know, to

1991
01:46:24,200 --> 01:46:25,679
Speaker 15: bash anyone industry, but it's.

1992
01:46:25,600 --> 01:46:29,519
Speaker 2: Not a little different. That is correct operates that way.

1993
01:46:29,640 --> 01:46:31,960
Speaker 2: He operates that way. He may choose to.

1994
01:46:32,120 --> 01:46:34,040
Speaker 15: That's one guy. And this is a frustration I've had

1995
01:46:34,080 --> 01:46:36,360
Speaker 15: with the insurance industry for a very, very, very long

1996
01:46:36,400 --> 01:46:38,880
Speaker 15: time because there isn't a massive amount of money you

1997
01:46:38,960 --> 01:46:42,120
Speaker 15: can make by placing a policy. But you don't have

1998
01:46:42,160 --> 01:46:43,880
Speaker 15: to sign up to say I'm doing this for you.

1999
01:46:44,240 --> 01:46:48,040
Speaker 2: Not because if you work for United Healthcare and are

2000
01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:51,040
Speaker 2: selling United health Care policies, the only policy you're going

2001
01:46:51,120 --> 01:46:53,479
Speaker 2: to sell is United Healthcare because you're not going to

2002
01:46:53,520 --> 01:46:55,960
Speaker 2: make any money selling any other premium or another policy.

2003
01:46:56,080 --> 01:46:59,000
Speaker 2: John Roman doesn't work that way. His profit is made

2004
01:46:59,040 --> 01:47:02,160
Speaker 2: working by selling any insurance policy to any individual. The

2005
01:47:02,160 --> 01:47:04,360
Speaker 2: advantage he has is because he's giving you sound advice

2006
01:47:04,439 --> 01:47:06,120
Speaker 2: on the difference between them.

2007
01:47:06,400 --> 01:47:06,800
Speaker 8: I get that.

2008
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:08,960
Speaker 15: It's still a commission based business, and I'm not bashing

2009
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:10,879
Speaker 15: John at all. It's just the way that that industry

2010
01:47:10,880 --> 01:47:13,480
Speaker 15: has always market.

2011
01:47:13,200 --> 01:47:16,680
Speaker 2: Sign It creates market incentive for others to operate the

2012
01:47:16,720 --> 01:47:18,559
Speaker 2: same way. You're never going to get that with an

2013
01:47:18,560 --> 01:47:21,120
Speaker 2: insurance agent who works exclusively for one company.

2014
01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:21,479
Speaker 5: Yah.

2015
01:47:21,520 --> 01:47:24,080
Speaker 15: Yeah, you were talking about captive versus independent. I totally

2016
01:47:24,200 --> 01:47:27,160
Speaker 15: understand that. I'm talking about the compensation methodology. How do

2017
01:47:27,200 --> 01:47:29,720
Speaker 15: I know for a thousand percent sure that somebody's not

2018
01:47:29,760 --> 01:47:32,280
Speaker 15: picking one insurance company because it's paying them more than

2019
01:47:32,320 --> 01:47:34,360
Speaker 15: another one that could be appropriate for me. That's the

2020
01:47:34,439 --> 01:47:37,200
Speaker 15: risk in any fiduciary versus non fiduciary discussion.

2021
01:47:37,200 --> 01:47:39,160
Speaker 2: Well, knowing John and the team there and what they've

2022
01:47:39,200 --> 01:47:41,439
Speaker 2: done for all my listeners so far, that is a

2023
01:47:41,520 --> 01:47:44,639
Speaker 2: risk we're worthy of taking because that's exactly what he does.

2024
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:47,559
Speaker 15: I get it, And again, I'm not bashing John at all.

2025
01:47:47,600 --> 01:47:49,879
Speaker 15: I'm just saying that's that's a weakness of that industry

2026
01:47:49,920 --> 01:47:52,080
Speaker 15: and that's what I used to sell life insurance when

2027
01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:55,799
Speaker 15: I was younger and didn't understand this stuff quite as clearly.

2028
01:47:55,960 --> 01:47:58,320
Speaker 15: And that was a huge conflict I saw with the banks.

2029
01:47:58,080 --> 01:47:59,720
Speaker 2: That I worked for. Yeah, you were who are you

2030
01:47:59,720 --> 01:48:00,280
Speaker 2: working for.

2031
01:48:01,320 --> 01:48:01,840
Speaker 7: In a bank?

2032
01:48:02,479 --> 01:48:05,599
Speaker 15: See it was National City up and Dayton and National

2033
01:48:05,680 --> 01:48:07,479
Speaker 15: City became P and C and for those who don't know,

2034
01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:10,559
Speaker 15: P and C stands for previously National City. Under Stallo's

2035
01:48:10,600 --> 01:48:13,080
Speaker 15: humor from the day that that was announced.

2036
01:48:12,800 --> 01:48:14,559
Speaker 2: To understand, and I don't mean to turn this into

2037
01:48:14,600 --> 01:48:16,160
Speaker 2: be commercial for him, but he's not the only one

2038
01:48:16,160 --> 01:48:18,720
Speaker 2: of the world that does this. So once we're and

2039
01:48:18,760 --> 01:48:20,920
Speaker 2: you can tell by the comments from our elected official

2040
01:48:20,960 --> 01:48:22,880
Speaker 2: senators on both sides of the Ledger, they're really not

2041
01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:26,760
Speaker 2: familiar with this concept at all. They've come brainwashed into

2042
01:48:26,760 --> 01:48:29,200
Speaker 2: the idea that Obamacare can't be replaced and there's no

2043
01:48:29,360 --> 01:48:30,599
Speaker 2: other option out there.

2044
01:48:30,800 --> 01:48:31,360
Speaker 1: Huh huh.

2045
01:48:31,479 --> 01:48:34,360
Speaker 2: Wrong. There is. There are a multitude of them, and

2046
01:48:34,479 --> 01:48:36,160
Speaker 2: quite often it's better to go down that road and

2047
01:48:36,240 --> 01:48:37,800
Speaker 2: check into it at least look out for your own

2048
01:48:37,840 --> 01:48:40,519
Speaker 2: best interests, because the fool is the one who's not

2049
01:48:41,240 --> 01:48:42,920
Speaker 2: all right. We'll get back to your list of topics,

2050
01:48:43,040 --> 01:48:45,080
Speaker 2: bringing oh, wait real quick, I wanted to ask you

2051
01:48:45,400 --> 01:48:48,880
Speaker 2: how this apparent end of the shutdown, not that we're

2052
01:48:48,920 --> 01:48:51,519
Speaker 2: there yet, how's it impacting the market. I'm looking at futures,

2053
01:48:51,520 --> 01:48:53,679
Speaker 2: they haven't really been impacted by this. Was this already

2054
01:48:53,680 --> 01:48:54,479
Speaker 2: baked into the cake?

2055
01:48:54,880 --> 01:48:57,000
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean I think with shutdowns with them, the

2056
01:48:57,040 --> 01:48:59,400
Speaker 15: market kind of always knows that it's never going to

2057
01:48:59,479 --> 01:49:02,920
Speaker 15: last for ever because nobody, no politician, is going to

2058
01:49:03,040 --> 01:49:06,479
Speaker 15: benefit and make their constituents happy by completely shutting down

2059
01:49:06,520 --> 01:49:10,400
Speaker 15: permanently and totally walking away. So the market hasn't done

2060
01:49:10,400 --> 01:49:12,960
Speaker 15: a whole lot of anything. D We've seen this before too.

2061
01:49:13,479 --> 01:49:13,640
Speaker 8: You know.

2062
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:16,600
Speaker 15: And the thing I think that is become the you know,

2063
01:49:16,600 --> 01:49:19,599
Speaker 15: with the new political third rails is the publicly traded markets.

2064
01:49:19,880 --> 01:49:23,880
Speaker 15: We're simply not going to permanently anger the leaders of

2065
01:49:23,920 --> 01:49:27,160
Speaker 15: our largest publicly traded companies because there's literally nothing stopping

2066
01:49:27,240 --> 01:49:29,679
Speaker 15: them Brian Thomas from picking up and moving to another

2067
01:49:29,720 --> 01:49:32,719
Speaker 15: country that is more favorable to business. That's an extreme outcome,

2068
01:49:32,960 --> 01:49:35,040
Speaker 15: but I think that's always kind of in the background

2069
01:49:35,120 --> 01:49:37,120
Speaker 15: of yeah, we just can't take, you know, take the

2070
01:49:37,120 --> 01:49:39,680
Speaker 15: ball and go home and expect good outcomes. Therefore, the

2071
01:49:39,680 --> 01:49:41,479
Speaker 15: market kind of goes, Yeah, whatever, we're going to get

2072
01:49:41,479 --> 01:49:43,080
Speaker 15: through this and we can still make a profit during

2073
01:49:43,080 --> 01:49:43,519
Speaker 15: this time.

2074
01:49:43,840 --> 01:49:46,040
Speaker 2: Always the case, Brian James will continue to find out

2075
01:49:46,080 --> 01:49:48,320
Speaker 2: what in the hell is a low cost EFT and

2076
01:49:48,320 --> 01:49:50,519
Speaker 2: how does relate to four to oh one k's plus

2077
01:49:50,880 --> 01:49:52,559
Speaker 2: what's going to happen if we all get two thousand

2078
01:49:52,600 --> 01:49:55,360
Speaker 2: dollars from tariffs? And how might that work? And apparently

2079
01:49:55,439 --> 01:49:58,280
Speaker 2: not everybody's taken all of their vacation days. Those topics

2080
01:49:58,280 --> 01:50:00,519
Speaker 2: coming up with Brian James Molworth Financial. You can stick

2081
01:50:00,520 --> 01:50:02,920
Speaker 2: around and also take care of yourself. It's cold out there.

2082
01:50:04,600 --> 01:50:07,080
Speaker 2: Eight nineteen. If you have k CIT talk station, it's Monday.

2083
01:50:07,120 --> 01:50:08,960
Speaker 2: We're doing that money Monday thing with Brian James from

2084
01:50:08,960 --> 01:50:11,400
Speaker 2: ALLWAD Financial. All right, do you have to break this

2085
01:50:11,479 --> 01:50:13,920
Speaker 2: down for me? Ignorant? I am on a lot of topics.

2086
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:15,400
Speaker 2: Is happening to be one of them? Brian James, that's

2087
01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:18,800
Speaker 2: who bring you on the show? Low cost ETFs in

2088
01:50:18,920 --> 01:50:22,160
Speaker 2: four to one k retirement plan? What's this all about?

2089
01:50:22,200 --> 01:50:22,880
Speaker 2: Brian James?

2090
01:50:22,960 --> 01:50:26,160
Speaker 15: So, yeah, Exchange traded funds are the cool kit on

2091
01:50:26,160 --> 01:50:27,599
Speaker 15: the block now. They kind of have been for about

2092
01:50:27,680 --> 01:50:29,800
Speaker 15: almost thirty years, I think, So they're not brand new,

2093
01:50:29,840 --> 01:50:32,880
Speaker 15: but these are vehicles that are They're very much like

2094
01:50:32,960 --> 01:50:36,479
Speaker 15: mutual funds in the traditional sense. These are investments that

2095
01:50:36,520 --> 01:50:38,800
Speaker 15: you can own, that will that you buy one thing

2096
01:50:38,840 --> 01:50:40,519
Speaker 15: and it owns a bunch of under things underneath it.

2097
01:50:40,960 --> 01:50:43,080
Speaker 15: And that's not all that crazy.

2098
01:50:42,720 --> 01:50:43,320
Speaker 2: To talk about that.

2099
01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:46,320
Speaker 15: The headline today though, is that State Street, which is

2100
01:50:46,360 --> 01:50:48,120
Speaker 15: one of the big providers. They have about one point

2101
01:50:48,160 --> 01:50:51,760
Speaker 15: seven trillion dollars in ETFs and if you ever if

2102
01:50:51,760 --> 01:50:53,720
Speaker 15: you've heard of spiders, that's the S and P five

2103
01:50:53,800 --> 01:50:57,000
Speaker 15: hundred ETF that is a State Street product. But what

2104
01:50:57,000 --> 01:51:01,280
Speaker 15: they're pushing for is to get more et like structures

2105
01:51:01,320 --> 01:51:03,680
Speaker 15: into four to one case. There's been a shift for

2106
01:51:03,720 --> 01:51:06,880
Speaker 15: a long time in traditional mutual fund offerings, you know,

2107
01:51:06,960 --> 01:51:10,839
Speaker 15: think Vanguard to change there to offer in an ETF

2108
01:51:10,960 --> 01:51:13,760
Speaker 15: chassis something that their mutual funds already do well. This

2109
01:51:13,800 --> 01:51:15,599
Speaker 15: one's kind of going in the other direction because State

2110
01:51:15,640 --> 01:51:18,519
Speaker 15: Street kind of started with ETFs, so they're pushing their

2111
01:51:18,520 --> 01:51:20,599
Speaker 15: ETF structures into mutual funds.

2112
01:51:21,120 --> 01:51:21,879
Speaker 2: This is really.

2113
01:51:21,760 --> 01:51:24,160
Speaker 15: About cost and I can't I'm kind of scratching my

2114
01:51:24,160 --> 01:51:26,120
Speaker 15: head a little bit to look for other benefits here.

2115
01:51:26,520 --> 01:51:28,880
Speaker 15: The benefits to an ETF over to mutual fund is.

2116
01:51:28,920 --> 01:51:30,960
Speaker 15: They tend to be dirt cheap, right in terms of

2117
01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 15: something called an expense ratio. For those who don't know,

2118
01:51:33,400 --> 01:51:36,120
Speaker 15: you're paying for your mutual funds every single day via

2119
01:51:36,120 --> 01:51:37,960
Speaker 15: a little payment that comes out of the share price.

2120
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:40,120
Speaker 15: You'll never see it, but rest assured it's there. It's

2121
01:51:40,160 --> 01:51:42,479
Speaker 15: called an expense ratio, and you want that percentage to

2122
01:51:42,479 --> 01:51:44,880
Speaker 15: be as low as possible. So that's one of the

2123
01:51:44,920 --> 01:51:48,519
Speaker 15: big reasons. ETFs are simply technologically more efficient. Therefore they

2124
01:51:48,520 --> 01:51:50,679
Speaker 15: can be cheaper to run. That has triggered this race

2125
01:51:50,760 --> 01:51:54,720
Speaker 15: to the bottom in terms of low expense ratios. But

2126
01:51:54,840 --> 01:51:57,559
Speaker 15: beyond that, the rest of it is tax efficiency. They

2127
01:51:57,560 --> 01:52:01,200
Speaker 15: are much more tax efficient than additional mutual fund However,

2128
01:52:01,240 --> 01:52:03,000
Speaker 15: that does not matter in a four oh one K

2129
01:52:03,200 --> 01:52:05,640
Speaker 15: or an IRA because those are tax sheltered. Anyway, I

2130
01:52:05,680 --> 01:52:08,160
Speaker 15: am not super excited about this headline, so I hope

2131
01:52:08,200 --> 01:52:12,080
Speaker 15: nobody out there is really really hoping their company offers

2132
01:52:12,120 --> 01:52:14,519
Speaker 15: this and is banking their future on It. Is not

2133
01:52:14,520 --> 01:52:17,400
Speaker 15: going to be that impactful. It's simply a big financial

2134
01:52:17,479 --> 01:52:20,679
Speaker 15: institution looking to get a hold of the twelve trillion dollars.

2135
01:52:20,760 --> 01:52:23,320
Speaker 15: Because remember, State Street does ets primarily that means they're

2136
01:52:23,360 --> 01:52:25,200
Speaker 15: not really in a four oh one k market.

2137
01:52:25,240 --> 01:52:27,160
Speaker 2: They're the ones. They're doing this for their own benefit,

2138
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:28,439
Speaker 2: is what you're really trying to say.

2139
01:52:28,600 --> 01:52:30,400
Speaker 15: I've been digging this morning trying to figure out why

2140
01:52:30,479 --> 01:52:32,960
Speaker 15: is this a headline? So what a company wants into

2141
01:52:33,000 --> 01:52:33,400
Speaker 15: a market?

2142
01:52:33,439 --> 01:52:36,240
Speaker 2: I get it, But why why would they not be

2143
01:52:36,360 --> 01:52:39,280
Speaker 2: a part of the mutual fund options already?

2144
01:52:39,840 --> 01:52:42,479
Speaker 15: Because well, they don't run mutual funds. They primarily run

2145
01:52:42,520 --> 01:52:45,120
Speaker 15: exchange traded funds. So what they're doing is they're taking

2146
01:52:45,120 --> 01:52:47,800
Speaker 15: their popular exchange traded funds. And they are good ones.

2147
01:52:47,800 --> 01:52:49,960
Speaker 15: I'm not bashing them at all, but they're just not

2148
01:52:50,160 --> 01:52:52,280
Speaker 15: built to be inside a four oh one K. You

2149
01:52:52,280 --> 01:52:53,479
Speaker 15: want to be in a four oh one k, you

2150
01:52:53,600 --> 01:52:56,840
Speaker 15: have to be very flexible, flexible with fractional shares, so

2151
01:52:56,920 --> 01:52:59,679
Speaker 15: you know, because somebody might be putting fifty bucks every

2152
01:52:59,680 --> 01:53:02,000
Speaker 15: page into their four oh one K and then that's

2153
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:05,639
Speaker 15: got to get split seventeen ways. ETFs are not efficient

2154
01:53:05,680 --> 01:53:08,400
Speaker 15: to be broken down into fractional shares. Mutual funds are

2155
01:53:08,400 --> 01:53:11,360
Speaker 15: built for it. I see, Okay, I'm not excited about

2156
01:53:11,360 --> 01:53:11,640
Speaker 15: this one.

2157
01:53:11,640 --> 01:53:13,320
Speaker 2: Well that the sounds like it. I think you made

2158
01:53:13,360 --> 01:53:16,040
Speaker 2: that point really clear. All right, Well, let's talk real

2159
01:53:16,080 --> 01:53:17,679
Speaker 2: quick here because there's a couple of talks talk about

2160
01:53:17,720 --> 01:53:20,320
Speaker 2: like not taking vacations and also the two thousand dollars

2161
01:53:20,360 --> 01:53:22,120
Speaker 2: from tariffs. Will do that in the next segment. Real

2162
01:53:22,200 --> 01:53:26,080
Speaker 2: quick here. Why I saw the statistic and while I

2163
01:53:26,160 --> 01:53:29,320
Speaker 2: may not use all of my vacation days, the weird

2164
01:53:29,360 --> 01:53:33,479
Speaker 2: statistic in the article that you have from CNBC. Though

2165
01:53:33,520 --> 01:53:36,840
Speaker 2: the majority have access to paid time off, the report

2166
01:53:36,880 --> 01:53:39,559
Speaker 2: found that twenty three percent of employees didn't even take

2167
01:53:39,600 --> 01:53:42,880
Speaker 2: a single day of vacation even though they had it.

2168
01:53:43,800 --> 01:53:46,360
Speaker 15: Yeah, you know, and I think that's a cultural thing, Brian.

2169
01:53:46,400 --> 01:53:48,439
Speaker 15: I mean, there's a lot of people around who still

2170
01:53:48,520 --> 01:53:50,120
Speaker 15: kind of wave that flag. If I'm a hard worker

2171
01:53:50,160 --> 01:53:51,960
Speaker 15: and that's what I'm known to be, what I will

2172
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:54,240
Speaker 15: speak to is what I see on the other side

2173
01:53:54,280 --> 01:53:55,920
Speaker 15: of that, because I see a lot of people who

2174
01:53:55,920 --> 01:53:57,920
Speaker 15: that was their lifestyle. It's just what they do. Those

2175
01:53:57,960 --> 01:54:00,519
Speaker 15: to the grindstone, Yeah take oh sure, wear it like

2176
01:54:00,520 --> 01:54:03,639
Speaker 15: a badge of pride. Those people are not happy during retirement.

2177
01:54:03,640 --> 01:54:05,559
Speaker 15: Pride they don't know what to do with themselves. Oh,

2178
01:54:05,640 --> 01:54:08,160
Speaker 15: it's very scary. It's scary enough to see somebody who

2179
01:54:08,160 --> 01:54:11,320
Speaker 15: can't afford retirement. It's almost scarier to see the mental

2180
01:54:11,360 --> 01:54:13,960
Speaker 15: impact on somebody who never thought about what that was

2181
01:54:14,000 --> 01:54:16,360
Speaker 15: going to feel like, to have that huge expanse of

2182
01:54:16,439 --> 01:54:17,120
Speaker 15: time to fill.

2183
01:54:18,200 --> 01:54:20,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, that makes sense. I do know

2184
01:54:20,200 --> 01:54:23,320
Speaker 2: a guy who never missed Not only did he never

2185
01:54:23,400 --> 01:54:26,320
Speaker 2: miss a single day of K through twelve education or

2186
01:54:26,360 --> 01:54:29,439
Speaker 2: college education, he never missed a single day of work,

2187
01:54:30,240 --> 01:54:34,160
Speaker 2: and he built up a massive, massive retirement savings just

2188
01:54:34,240 --> 01:54:36,960
Speaker 2: because he never took any time off. He didn't have

2189
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:39,000
Speaker 2: anything to do after work. It's the kind of person

2190
01:54:39,040 --> 01:54:41,920
Speaker 2: you're talking about right now. Work is their life, and

2191
01:54:41,960 --> 01:54:44,200
Speaker 2: from all accounts, I think he's done pretty well in retirement.

2192
01:54:44,200 --> 01:54:46,480
Speaker 2: I guess he found something to do. But yeah, I

2193
01:54:47,200 --> 01:54:48,640
Speaker 2: know people like that, and I.

2194
01:54:48,560 --> 01:54:50,480
Speaker 15: Hope he did, but I'm sure he had a lot

2195
01:54:50,600 --> 01:54:52,080
Speaker 15: of soul searching moments for that.

2196
01:54:52,120 --> 01:54:52,960
Speaker 2: What is that going to feel like?

2197
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:55,000
Speaker 15: That first day that the alarm doesn't go off and

2198
01:54:55,040 --> 01:54:57,120
Speaker 15: I don't have to go anywhere. That's great for twenty

2199
01:54:57,160 --> 01:54:59,840
Speaker 15: four hours, but then that next week, especially in February,

2200
01:55:00,080 --> 01:55:02,160
Speaker 15: when it's cold and terrible outside, what am I going

2201
01:55:02,240 --> 01:55:03,959
Speaker 15: to do today?

2202
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:05,680
Speaker 2: Well, and after we're talking with you guys for long

2203
01:55:05,760 --> 01:55:07,320
Speaker 2: enough to realize that I'm at least in a position

2204
01:55:07,320 --> 01:55:10,280
Speaker 2: where I can retire. The whole idea of retirements scares

2205
01:55:10,320 --> 01:55:12,080
Speaker 2: the hell out of me because I don't know what

2206
01:55:12,200 --> 01:55:12,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to be doing.

2207
01:55:13,040 --> 01:55:15,240
Speaker 15: There, you go, that is the big mountain behind the

2208
01:55:15,240 --> 01:55:18,120
Speaker 15: little mountain. The little mountain to climb is the financial part.

2209
01:55:18,160 --> 01:55:20,160
Speaker 15: We all hide behind that and go I don't have enough.

2210
01:55:20,160 --> 01:55:22,040
Speaker 15: I don't have enough. I guess I'll just keep working.

2211
01:55:22,200 --> 01:55:23,960
Speaker 15: But then one day, and it sounds like this happened

2212
01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:25,800
Speaker 15: to you, one day we realize that, oh my gosh,

2213
01:55:25,880 --> 01:55:27,560
Speaker 15: I do have enough. I can do whatever I want.

2214
01:55:27,920 --> 01:55:29,440
Speaker 15: Oh my god, what do I want to do? I've

2215
01:55:29,480 --> 01:55:30,400
Speaker 15: never thought about that.

2216
01:55:31,000 --> 01:55:33,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Scar, it's a scary future for me. I do

2217
01:55:33,720 --> 01:55:36,640
Speaker 2: see sloth and lethargy playing a huge part of that,

2218
01:55:36,680 --> 01:55:38,800
Speaker 2: and that is not good for my health or the relationship.

2219
01:55:38,800 --> 01:55:40,440
Speaker 15: To have goals, at least you defined your goal.

2220
01:55:40,560 --> 01:55:42,320
Speaker 2: I well, that's it. I know what the goals are

2221
01:55:42,400 --> 01:55:45,280
Speaker 2: right now, but these shouldn't be those goals. Find something

2222
01:55:45,360 --> 01:55:47,280
Speaker 2: to do, and why you're at it, use up your

2223
01:55:47,320 --> 01:55:50,360
Speaker 2: retirement or your vacation days. I might find some good

2224
01:55:50,400 --> 01:55:52,160
Speaker 2: in that. Just to exhale for a couple of minutes

2225
01:55:52,200 --> 01:55:54,760
Speaker 2: and take some relaxing time. Brian James will talk about

2226
01:55:54,800 --> 01:55:57,440
Speaker 2: the two thousand dollars maybe coming our way? How's that

2227
01:55:57,480 --> 01:55:59,360
Speaker 2: going to work? And I want a word or two

2228
01:55:59,360 --> 01:56:01,000
Speaker 2: on what you and I might expect by way of

2229
01:56:01,040 --> 01:56:04,280
Speaker 2: investment return over the lifetime of our investment strategy, because

2230
01:56:04,280 --> 01:56:06,440
Speaker 2: I'm not sure I ever expected, nor would I hope

2231
01:56:06,440 --> 01:56:11,080
Speaker 2: to expect, a sixteen thousand percent return. Nancy Pelosi got

2232
01:56:11,080 --> 01:56:13,680
Speaker 2: that one more with Brian James. Money Monday, coming up

2233
01:56:14,040 --> 01:56:16,800
Speaker 2: fifty five a twenty eighty nine to fifty five car

2234
01:56:16,880 --> 01:56:18,960
Speaker 2: City tax station. Brian time with Brian James from all

2235
01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:22,880
Speaker 2: Worth Financial talking Money Monday, and what's the story in

2236
01:56:22,880 --> 01:56:25,560
Speaker 2: this two thousand dollars tariff check. I know that Supreme

2237
01:56:25,600 --> 01:56:28,720
Speaker 2: Court and hearing oral arguments about the legality and authority

2238
01:56:28,760 --> 01:56:31,360
Speaker 2: of Donald Trump to levy taxes or tariff's a rather

2239
01:56:31,400 --> 01:56:34,760
Speaker 2: individually is not looking good for the Trump administration basedupon

2240
01:56:34,800 --> 01:56:37,839
Speaker 2: the comments and questioning of the justices, But that decision

2241
01:56:37,880 --> 01:56:40,200
Speaker 2: hasn't come down yet. In the meantime, tariffs are still

2242
01:56:40,240 --> 01:56:43,400
Speaker 2: out there. Of course, we've entered into some trade negotiations

2243
01:56:43,440 --> 01:56:46,240
Speaker 2: as a consequence of him unilaterally doing the tariffs but

2244
01:56:46,560 --> 01:56:48,680
Speaker 2: putting aside his authority to do it. It has worked,

2245
01:56:48,760 --> 01:56:51,640
Speaker 2: so unringing the bell, if they indeed have to, is

2246
01:56:51,680 --> 01:56:54,360
Speaker 2: going to be extremely complicated matter. But it seems like

2247
01:56:54,360 --> 01:56:56,600
Speaker 2: Trump's trying to pivot, telling the American people that know,

2248
01:56:56,680 --> 01:56:59,120
Speaker 2: you're going to benefit from this, and we're going to

2249
01:56:59,160 --> 01:57:02,920
Speaker 2: give you two thousan dollars more maybe less directly as

2250
01:57:02,920 --> 01:57:05,560
Speaker 2: a consequence of the billions and billions of dollars we're

2251
01:57:05,560 --> 01:57:09,040
Speaker 2: bringing in in tariffs. Do you see this is actually happening.

2252
01:57:09,080 --> 01:57:10,960
Speaker 2: If the Supreme Court says it's okay for him to

2253
01:57:10,960 --> 01:57:13,320
Speaker 2: do this, I suppose really is a critical element to

2254
01:57:13,320 --> 01:57:14,520
Speaker 2: know whether this is going to go forward.

2255
01:57:14,600 --> 01:57:17,160
Speaker 15: Brian, Well, he's tying it too, as we were talking

2256
01:57:17,160 --> 01:57:19,440
Speaker 15: about earlier. He's tying it a little bit to the

2257
01:57:19,480 --> 01:57:23,560
Speaker 15: health insurance discussion over a dismantling Obamacare. And then you know,

2258
01:57:23,560 --> 01:57:25,400
Speaker 15: why not just give people money and let them choose

2259
01:57:25,400 --> 01:57:27,520
Speaker 15: their own or do or buy an HDTV or whatever

2260
01:57:27,520 --> 01:57:29,400
Speaker 15: they're going to do with their couple thousand dollars, just

2261
01:57:29,400 --> 01:57:31,640
Speaker 15: you know, freedom to spend whatever you want. Yeah, And

2262
01:57:31,760 --> 01:57:33,880
Speaker 15: and I think he's really just kind of laying the

2263
01:57:33,920 --> 01:57:37,840
Speaker 15: groundwork to make people aware that if you support this,

2264
01:57:37,880 --> 01:57:39,960
Speaker 15: there could be money showing up in your mailbox. I mean,

2265
01:57:40,000 --> 01:57:43,960
Speaker 15: what better way can a politician ever get gain favor

2266
01:57:44,040 --> 01:57:44,800
Speaker 15: for any one?

2267
01:57:44,920 --> 01:57:48,120
Speaker 2: Does this buying votes? Brian James, are you kidding me?

2268
01:57:48,560 --> 01:57:48,880
Speaker 15: Quite?

2269
01:57:48,960 --> 01:57:49,400
Speaker 2: Literally?

2270
01:57:49,440 --> 01:57:50,400
Speaker 15: Money in your mailbox?

2271
01:57:50,480 --> 01:57:50,600
Speaker 4: Right?

2272
01:57:50,640 --> 01:57:50,960
Speaker 2: We can do.

2273
01:57:51,040 --> 01:57:52,560
Speaker 15: Then there's a little bit of history for this. It

2274
01:57:52,560 --> 01:57:55,000
Speaker 15: would it would effectively work like a stimulus payment, which

2275
01:57:55,000 --> 01:57:57,720
Speaker 15: we've seen before. Ye March of twenty twenty, we had

2276
01:57:57,760 --> 01:58:00,520
Speaker 15: the Cares Act and that was twelve hundred dollars per adult,

2277
01:58:00,520 --> 01:58:03,040
Speaker 15: five hundred bucks per child. That actually did happen. This

2278
01:58:03,160 --> 01:58:05,080
Speaker 15: was early in COVID, so you know, there were such

2279
01:58:05,160 --> 01:58:08,000
Speaker 15: chaos and people don't really remember it. Then later that year,

2280
01:58:08,000 --> 01:58:09,960
Speaker 15: December of twenty twenty, there was another push for two

2281
01:58:09,960 --> 01:58:12,000
Speaker 15: thousand dollars checks that kind of just came and went.

2282
01:58:12,800 --> 01:58:15,480
Speaker 15: And earlier this year, remember we had the dozed dividend

2283
01:58:15,480 --> 01:58:16,880
Speaker 15: that we were supposed to get that was going to

2284
01:58:16,920 --> 01:58:19,680
Speaker 15: be five thousand dollars per household, except that just kind

2285
01:58:19,680 --> 01:58:21,320
Speaker 15: of went away. When that whole dose thing didn't move

2286
01:58:21,320 --> 01:58:23,120
Speaker 15: the needle very much, Elon Musk got.

2287
01:58:22,960 --> 01:58:23,560
Speaker 2: Bored with it.

2288
01:58:23,800 --> 01:58:26,440
Speaker 15: So we'll see what comes of this, you know, But

2289
01:58:26,840 --> 01:58:28,800
Speaker 15: really I feel like it's just greasing this kid, so

2290
01:58:28,840 --> 01:58:30,760
Speaker 15: there will be there will be less of a public

2291
01:58:30,840 --> 01:58:32,640
Speaker 15: hue and cry over the things that he really wants

2292
01:58:32,680 --> 01:58:35,600
Speaker 15: to get done. And because as we've seen very very

2293
01:58:35,640 --> 01:58:37,680
Speaker 15: recently with the Snap payments, it only takes one or

2294
01:58:37,680 --> 01:58:40,240
Speaker 15: two judges to throw a monkey wrench in the works

2295
01:58:40,840 --> 01:58:41,560
Speaker 15: in both directions.

2296
01:58:41,600 --> 01:58:42,680
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, we had it.

2297
01:58:42,680 --> 01:58:44,800
Speaker 15: Overturned and then it was unoverturned, and I don't know

2298
01:58:44,800 --> 01:58:45,720
Speaker 15: where we are now.

2299
01:58:45,680 --> 01:58:48,320
Speaker 2: It's been They were ordered to pay one hundred percent

2300
01:58:48,320 --> 01:58:51,960
Speaker 2: of the SNAP benefits beginning today. It unless the Supreme

2301
01:58:52,040 --> 01:58:55,480
Speaker 2: Court pronounces otherwise. Now, they allowed Trump to move to

2302
01:58:55,640 --> 01:58:58,520
Speaker 2: keep things in place with the freeze on Friday evening,

2303
01:58:58,520 --> 01:59:00,640
Speaker 2: but that was a single judge. We're going to leave

2304
01:59:00,640 --> 01:59:04,160
Speaker 2: its status quo until this decision comes out. This decision

2305
01:59:04,240 --> 01:59:06,600
Speaker 2: was what came out last night, and the Appellate Court

2306
01:59:06,640 --> 01:59:07,920
Speaker 2: said you got to pay one hundred percent of the

2307
01:59:07,920 --> 01:59:11,080
Speaker 2: SNAP benefits, which I think helped the Republicans in these

2308
01:59:11,120 --> 01:59:14,760
Speaker 2: negotiations yesterday because you've taken Assuming that court order stayed

2309
01:59:14,800 --> 01:59:18,520
Speaker 2: in place, maybe the administration doesn't appeal it, then all

2310
01:59:18,560 --> 01:59:20,360
Speaker 2: of the people who are going to get harmed because

2311
01:59:20,360 --> 01:59:23,360
Speaker 2: of Snap stopping no longer can complain. So there's a

2312
01:59:23,480 --> 01:59:26,520
Speaker 2: giant chunk of people forty million or so who no

2313
01:59:26,560 --> 01:59:29,839
Speaker 2: longer care about the shutdown as having impacted their bottom line.

2314
01:59:30,000 --> 01:59:32,440
Speaker 2: So you've taken that out, leaving I guess those who

2315
01:59:32,440 --> 01:59:35,080
Speaker 2: are traveling on airplanes and looking forward to holidays to

2316
01:59:35,160 --> 01:59:37,480
Speaker 2: be screaming and yelling. And that includes a lot broader

2317
01:59:37,560 --> 01:59:40,600
Speaker 2: number of people who actually might influence elections, including corporate

2318
01:59:40,640 --> 01:59:43,720
Speaker 2: business owners, individuals with enough money to go on vacation

2319
01:59:43,880 --> 01:59:48,200
Speaker 2: and actually utilize air traffic. That's my theory on that matter.

2320
01:59:48,600 --> 01:59:50,240
Speaker 15: No, I think I think you're probably right. What's the

2321
01:59:50,320 --> 01:59:52,680
Speaker 15: largest segment of the population that's going to be the loudest,

2322
01:59:52,680 --> 01:59:54,520
Speaker 15: and it's the ones that are getting directly hurt by Well,

2323
01:59:54,600 --> 01:59:56,880
Speaker 15: you've just taken that away, and a little sugar on top,

2324
01:59:56,920 --> 01:59:59,160
Speaker 15: here's a chance at a two thousand dollars check. Now

2325
01:59:59,200 --> 02:00:01,520
Speaker 15: he has also indicated this is this is going to

2326
02:00:01,600 --> 02:00:04,880
Speaker 15: exclude high income individuals. I'm not sure exactly what high

2327
02:00:04,920 --> 02:00:07,200
Speaker 15: income means. Who knows this is None of this isn't

2328
02:00:07,200 --> 02:00:09,200
Speaker 15: writing yet, so we'll see what comes down the pipe.

2329
02:00:09,280 --> 02:00:11,240
Speaker 15: And we have talked about this before again that that

2330
02:00:11,280 --> 02:00:13,800
Speaker 15: whole doze dividend here's the thing that this government is

2331
02:00:13,840 --> 02:00:15,400
Speaker 15: doing that's going to result in money in your pocket.

2332
02:00:15,440 --> 02:00:18,280
Speaker 15: While that didn't exactly happen. So we're gonna see. You know,

2333
02:00:18,320 --> 02:00:20,600
Speaker 15: here's the thing the government's doing. We're bringing in tariffs,

2334
02:00:20,640 --> 02:00:23,920
Speaker 15: and here's a chunk of the action for taxpayers. Yeah,

2335
02:00:23,960 --> 02:00:25,920
Speaker 15: you know, allow through and see what happened that.

2336
02:00:25,920 --> 02:00:28,200
Speaker 2: Was in the detail. Because I would think money flowing

2337
02:00:28,200 --> 02:00:30,440
Speaker 2: into government with U through tariffs or taxation or any

2338
02:00:30,440 --> 02:00:33,280
Speaker 2: other mechanism, would be part and parcel of the power

2339
02:00:33,360 --> 02:00:37,000
Speaker 2: of the purse. Unless Congress and acts legislation to allow

2340
02:00:37,040 --> 02:00:39,040
Speaker 2: the return of these tariffs to us in any way,

2341
02:00:39,040 --> 02:00:41,120
Speaker 2: shape or form. That it's going to require congressional action

2342
02:00:41,200 --> 02:00:41,720
Speaker 2: and approval.

2343
02:00:42,240 --> 02:00:44,080
Speaker 15: You would think, you would think. And with all the

2344
02:00:44,160 --> 02:00:47,440
Speaker 15: talk too, just over the over this administration, the prior administration,

2345
02:00:47,600 --> 02:00:52,120
Speaker 15: all the bluster about the deficit, I would love to

2346
02:00:52,160 --> 02:00:54,800
Speaker 15: see one ounce of these dollars go toward paying down

2347
02:00:54,840 --> 02:00:57,160
Speaker 15: the debt we already have, yes, as opposed to encouraging

2348
02:00:57,240 --> 02:00:58,280
Speaker 15: us to go make more of it.

2349
02:00:58,360 --> 02:01:01,320
Speaker 2: Thank you, Brian James. You and I I agreement completely

2350
02:01:01,360 --> 02:01:04,600
Speaker 2: on that. That's a pesky challenge for generations to come.

2351
02:01:04,640 --> 02:01:07,360
Speaker 2: That death wish they were more of us in agreement. Really,

2352
02:01:07,400 --> 02:01:09,160
Speaker 2: we'd rather have our checks in our mailbox. All right. Well,

2353
02:01:09,200 --> 02:01:11,360
Speaker 2: I'm an agreement on the idea of earning sixteen nine

2354
02:01:11,440 --> 02:01:13,440
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty percent rate to return on my investments.

2355
02:01:13,440 --> 02:01:16,200
Speaker 2: Brian James. That's not a regular occurrence with all Worth Financial,

2356
02:01:16,320 --> 02:01:18,440
Speaker 2: is it? Because that sounds extraordinary to me. I mean,

2357
02:01:18,480 --> 02:01:20,839
Speaker 2: I'm of the mind that you know I should expect

2358
02:01:20,920 --> 02:01:26,240
Speaker 2: around eight percent, hopefully more. But I Nancy Pelosi back

2359
02:01:26,240 --> 02:01:30,080
Speaker 2: in eighty seven, which she took office, had roughly eight

2360
02:01:30,080 --> 02:01:32,720
Speaker 2: seven hundred and eighty five thousand dollars total portfolio between

2361
02:01:32,720 --> 02:01:35,640
Speaker 2: her and her husband. She announced the retirement and apparently

2362
02:01:35,720 --> 02:01:37,880
Speaker 2: she now has one hundred and thirty million thirty three

2363
02:01:37,880 --> 02:01:40,800
Speaker 2: million she's sitting on, which was calculated as a sixteen

2364
02:01:41,320 --> 02:01:44,760
Speaker 2: nine hundred and thirty percent rate to return the Dow

2365
02:01:44,840 --> 02:01:47,560
Speaker 2: Jones over the same period of time two thousand, three hundred.

2366
02:01:47,560 --> 02:01:49,120
Speaker 2: Now they didn't put the SMP in there, but I

2367
02:01:49,120 --> 02:01:51,440
Speaker 2: can't imagine the s and P being closer to sixteen

2368
02:01:51,520 --> 02:01:53,120
Speaker 2: thousand than twenty three hundred.

2369
02:01:53,440 --> 02:01:55,600
Speaker 15: Well, yeah, story, let me put pen to paper. No,

2370
02:01:55,680 --> 02:01:57,400
Speaker 15: the S and P five hundred is not close to

2371
02:01:57,440 --> 02:02:00,800
Speaker 15: sixty thousand percent, they'll carry the one on and then

2372
02:02:00,840 --> 02:02:04,360
Speaker 15: this goes over here and no, that's not a close number. Yeah,

2373
02:02:04,360 --> 02:02:07,200
Speaker 15: And so it is a very very very lucrative gig

2374
02:02:07,480 --> 02:02:10,760
Speaker 15: to be tied to the US Congress because you get

2375
02:02:10,800 --> 02:02:13,720
Speaker 15: a whole boatload of insider information and there's just not

2376
02:02:13,800 --> 02:02:15,440
Speaker 15: a lot of law. We just don't have the structure.

2377
02:02:15,480 --> 02:02:18,600
Speaker 15: We've never had the political will to stop this from happening,

2378
02:02:18,640 --> 02:02:20,680
Speaker 15: because of course the ones who would decide to make

2379
02:02:20,680 --> 02:02:22,440
Speaker 15: the laws are the ones who would who would be

2380
02:02:22,520 --> 02:02:25,120
Speaker 15: hurt by them. So guess what's not gonna happen anytime?

2381
02:02:25,400 --> 02:02:27,840
Speaker 2: Fox watching the hen House, Sir Brian James, Although you

2382
02:02:27,880 --> 02:02:31,120
Speaker 2: and I are not allowed to inside trade, Yeah, well exactly,

2383
02:02:31,120 --> 02:02:34,400
Speaker 2: we would get that thrown into jail if we insider trade, correct.

2384
02:02:34,440 --> 02:02:37,280
Speaker 15: I mean like when we we we manage portfolios here,

2385
02:02:37,280 --> 02:02:39,320
Speaker 15: we do move exchange traded funds around. There's a there's

2386
02:02:39,320 --> 02:02:41,320
Speaker 15: a no fly list, but advisors are not allowed to

2387
02:02:41,320 --> 02:02:43,840
Speaker 15: touch this CTF or at that ETF because we're about

2388
02:02:43,880 --> 02:02:46,600
Speaker 15: to move money around at a portfolio level for our

2389
02:02:46,760 --> 02:02:49,560
Speaker 15: entire firm. And but that's not does not apply if

2390
02:02:49,600 --> 02:02:51,760
Speaker 15: you are in a member of Congress. Now, this does

2391
02:02:51,800 --> 02:02:54,680
Speaker 15: both Pelosi's numbers are eye popping for sure, and she's

2392
02:02:54,720 --> 02:02:56,200
Speaker 15: always had her hands in a whole lot of things.

2393
02:02:56,280 --> 02:02:58,040
Speaker 15: She's not the only one. I got a list here

2394
02:02:58,360 --> 02:03:00,360
Speaker 15: all the different names, and they're both flavor. It's on

2395
02:03:00,400 --> 02:03:01,120
Speaker 15: both sides.

2396
02:03:00,880 --> 02:03:01,200
Speaker 2: Of the aisle.

2397
02:03:01,440 --> 02:03:04,600
Speaker 15: Absolutely, the game works, happens on both sides. It would

2398
02:03:04,640 --> 02:03:06,560
Speaker 15: be great if we would put a law in place,

2399
02:03:06,760 --> 02:03:08,720
Speaker 15: and we did. There's the Stock Act that came out

2400
02:03:08,760 --> 02:03:12,520
Speaker 15: in twenty twelve that limits the some limit somewhat how

2401
02:03:12,600 --> 02:03:14,920
Speaker 15: much these people can do. But the fine can be

2402
02:03:15,040 --> 02:03:18,320
Speaker 15: like two hundred bucks, and nobody's ever been prosecuted under it.

2403
02:03:18,680 --> 02:03:19,920
Speaker 15: That's why you've never heard of it.

2404
02:03:20,040 --> 02:03:23,480
Speaker 2: Let's see two hundred and fifty bucks or sixteen thousand

2405
02:03:24,320 --> 02:03:26,360
Speaker 2: percent return. I'm gonna go with the ladder, knowing full

2406
02:03:26,400 --> 02:03:28,360
Speaker 2: well that I can cover the nut on the any

2407
02:03:28,640 --> 02:03:29,600
Speaker 2: any claims.

2408
02:03:29,280 --> 02:03:31,440
Speaker 15: Against you, net that out if you met out the

2409
02:03:31,440 --> 02:03:33,360
Speaker 15: two fifty dollar fee. Gonna work in your.

2410
02:03:33,240 --> 02:03:36,600
Speaker 2: Favorite Brian James lab we got in with a little

2411
02:03:36,640 --> 02:03:38,280
Speaker 2: bit of smile on her face and a couple of

2412
02:03:38,320 --> 02:03:40,480
Speaker 2: points on agreement. Brian James, look for to next Monday,

2413

Speaker 2: Since we did have a brief moment of talking about

2428
02:04:10,640 --> 02:04:13,200
Speaker 2: sports are since the Bengals didn't play Brian James and

2429
02:04:13,240 --> 02:04:15,840
Speaker 2: I always been kind of lamenting the outcome of the

2430
02:04:15,880 --> 02:04:22,560
Speaker 2: Bengals games during the segment, does anyone adn't believe in

2431
02:04:22,800 --> 02:04:26,839
Speaker 2: the legitimate outcome of professional sports anymore or even college

2432
02:04:26,880 --> 02:04:30,480
Speaker 2: level sports. I saw this article just the other day.

2433
02:04:30,600 --> 02:04:32,480
Speaker 2: It was in the Journal, but it's been widely reported

2434
02:04:32,480 --> 02:04:34,440
Speaker 2: and these allegations have been known for a while. But

2435
02:04:34,760 --> 02:04:37,360
Speaker 2: with sports getting and betting in these prop bets with

2436
02:04:37,920 --> 02:04:41,680
Speaker 2: online gambling apps, prop bets Okay, will he, you know,

2437
02:04:41,760 --> 02:04:45,360
Speaker 2: scratch his crotch? Well, the pitcher scratches crotch in the

2438
02:04:45,440 --> 02:04:48,800
Speaker 2: ninth inning of the game between you know, the Reds

2439
02:04:48,800 --> 02:04:51,240
Speaker 2: and the Brewers or whoever. Yeah, you can make bets

2440
02:04:51,280 --> 02:04:56,120
Speaker 2: like that, and so it's easy for the professional ballplayers

2441
02:04:56,160 --> 02:05:00,200
Speaker 2: to get caught in these gambling scambals. Like listen, I'll

2442
02:05:00,240 --> 02:05:03,680
Speaker 2: give you five grand if in the ninth inning you

2443
02:05:03,720 --> 02:05:09,160
Speaker 2: scratch your crotch. That's an easy money bet, right, there

2444
02:05:09,200 --> 02:05:10,640
Speaker 2: isn't it. I don't know if you can bet on

2445
02:05:10,720 --> 02:05:13,200
Speaker 2: minutia like that, How likely is it someone's going to

2446
02:05:13,280 --> 02:05:17,360
Speaker 2: find out? No more allegations of game ribbing are rigging.

2447
02:05:17,520 --> 02:05:20,880
Speaker 2: Cleveland Guardians pitcher Lewis Ordes and Emmanuel Clays charged with

2448
02:05:21,040 --> 02:05:27,200
Speaker 2: fraud for allegedly manipulating their pitches, their individual pitches in

2449
02:05:27,280 --> 02:05:31,160
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball games for the purpose of gambling. Now

2450
02:05:31,160 --> 02:05:33,040
Speaker 2: they've already been suspended by the league. Again. If you're

2451
02:05:33,040 --> 02:05:35,280
Speaker 2: a sportsman, you probably know about this going on behind

2452
02:05:35,320 --> 02:05:37,200
Speaker 2: the scenes. This is the first time I've seen this,

2453
02:05:37,320 --> 02:05:40,760
Speaker 2: but it really really troubles me that it's so easy

2454
02:05:40,920 --> 02:05:42,640
Speaker 2: for them to get caught up in this, And then

2455
02:05:42,640 --> 02:05:50,600
Speaker 2: I have to ask myself why Guardians held a ten

2456
02:05:50,680 --> 02:05:53,040
Speaker 2: million dollar option for Clas for twenty twenty seven and

2457
02:05:53,080 --> 02:05:57,960
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight. Orties on his own earned three quarters

2458
02:05:57,960 --> 02:05:59,800
Speaker 2: of a million dollars in twenty twenty five. They're making

2459
02:05:59,840 --> 02:06:03,960
Speaker 2: a lot of money, and the indictment charges both of

2460
02:06:04,000 --> 02:06:06,920
Speaker 2: these guys that they agreed in advance with their co

2461
02:06:06,920 --> 02:06:12,520
Speaker 2: conspiratuals conspirators to throw specific pitches. This allowed gamblers to

2462
02:06:12,560 --> 02:06:16,680
Speaker 2: place hundreds of fraudulent prop bets i e. Those based

2463
02:06:16,720 --> 02:06:19,240
Speaker 2: on specific events occurring within a game rather than the

2464
02:06:19,280 --> 02:06:22,120
Speaker 2: overall outcome. They don't care about that. This makes it

2465
02:06:22,160 --> 02:06:26,120
Speaker 2: really easy to cheat. Prosecutors allege the betters wagered on

2466
02:06:26,240 --> 02:06:31,160
Speaker 2: whether certain clays pitches would be balls or strikes. They

2467
02:06:31,200 --> 02:06:34,000
Speaker 2: also bet on the speed of pitches. This began back

2468
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:37,680
Speaker 2: in May of twenty three, now twenty seven year old

2469
02:06:37,720 --> 02:06:42,080
Speaker 2: Clays three all three time All Star. They say, often

2470
02:06:42,160 --> 02:06:45,360
Speaker 2: threw these rig pitches on the very first pitch at

2471
02:06:45,400 --> 02:06:48,879
Speaker 2: bat in order to ensure that certain pitches were called balls.

2472
02:06:49,920 --> 02:06:56,080
Speaker 2: He threw them in the dirt, say Clayer receive bribes

2473
02:06:56,120 --> 02:06:58,800
Speaker 2: and kickfacts for participating in this scheme. Authorities claimed that

2474
02:06:59,200 --> 02:07:02,680
Speaker 2: he sometimes for money to the betters in advance to

2475
02:07:02,800 --> 02:07:05,520
Speaker 2: fund the scheme. As far as Ortiz, twenty seven year

2476
02:07:05,560 --> 02:07:07,040
Speaker 2: old or twenty six year old right hand or starting

2477
02:07:07,080 --> 02:07:09,520
Speaker 2: pitcher for the Guardians, joined the team around twenty twenty five,

2478
02:07:09,880 --> 02:07:12,760
Speaker 2: they say that our scheme. Rather, he's been involved since

2479
02:07:12,760 --> 02:07:15,280
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. They say he agreed with Clays that

2480
02:07:15,360 --> 02:07:19,560
Speaker 2: he would throw pre arranged balls instead of strikes on

2481
02:07:19,640 --> 02:07:23,000
Speaker 2: pitches in two games in exchange for these bribes and kicksbacks.

2482
02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:28,120
Speaker 2: Are you ready? They claimed before June fifteenth game this year,

2483
02:07:28,920 --> 02:07:31,920
Speaker 2: Ortiz agreed to throw a ball on a particular pitch

2484
02:07:32,040 --> 02:07:38,360
Speaker 2: in exchange four five thousand dollars. Clays also five thousand

2485
02:07:38,440 --> 02:07:43,480
Speaker 2: dollars for arranging the rigged pitches, and other other games

2486
02:07:43,480 --> 02:07:46,680
Speaker 2: were arranged as well. So here you are as a

2487
02:07:46,680 --> 02:07:50,960
Speaker 2: professional ballplayer. Big brother is watching. They can watch these

2488
02:07:51,040 --> 02:07:53,680
Speaker 2: prop bets, and I'm sure every one of these sports

2489
02:07:53,760 --> 02:07:56,080
Speaker 2: betting sites is looking for this because they may be

2490
02:07:56,160 --> 02:07:58,440
Speaker 2: on the hook for the gambling liability. You got to

2491
02:07:58,480 --> 02:08:01,200
Speaker 2: pay off when you win, right, so they see spikes.

2492
02:08:01,600 --> 02:08:03,560
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, how is it that we've seen a

2493
02:08:03,600 --> 02:08:06,240
Speaker 2: massive increase in the number of prop bets on this

2494
02:08:06,320 --> 02:08:10,200
Speaker 2: particular pitcher throwing a ball? In this particular part of

2495
02:08:10,200 --> 02:08:14,960
Speaker 2: the game red flag. So I would like to think

2496
02:08:14,960 --> 02:08:17,120
Speaker 2: that these guys are smart enough to kind of understand

2497
02:08:17,120 --> 02:08:24,320
Speaker 2: that concept, even though they're making fat bank playing the game,

2498
02:08:25,240 --> 02:08:28,280
Speaker 2: and their careers are in jeopardy? Are they if they

2499
02:08:28,320 --> 02:08:32,280
Speaker 2: are caught as well as criminal liability that will extend

2500
02:08:32,280 --> 02:08:37,400
Speaker 2: to them for engaging in fraud, in fraud, illegal gambling

2501
02:08:39,000 --> 02:08:42,320
Speaker 2: for five grand. I don't know what corner these guys

2502
02:08:42,360 --> 02:08:44,640
Speaker 2: are backed on into, but if I'm looking at, oh,

2503
02:08:44,760 --> 02:08:47,280
Speaker 2: let's see here, final guarantee you five year, twenty million

2504
02:08:47,320 --> 02:08:50,400
Speaker 2: dollar contract. Okay, there's that, and then there's the extra

2505
02:08:50,440 --> 02:08:52,920
Speaker 2: five grand I might get for throwing one particular pitch

2506
02:08:52,960 --> 02:08:56,120
Speaker 2: in one particular game. Is it really worth that? I mean,

2507
02:08:56,160 --> 02:08:58,320
Speaker 2: the answer seems to be logically and reasonably no. So

2508
02:08:58,400 --> 02:09:01,680
Speaker 2: you wonder kind of what they have hanging over these guys'

2509
02:09:01,720 --> 02:09:04,560
Speaker 2: heads to get them to capitulate or otherwise enter into

2510
02:09:04,600 --> 02:09:10,160
Speaker 2: this scheme, this criminal enterprise. And then pause for a minute,

2511
02:09:11,240 --> 02:09:13,040
Speaker 2: just say, Okay, these guys are idiots, but have we

2512
02:09:13,160 --> 02:09:16,120
Speaker 2: seen as we've seen from the prior gambling scandals most

2513
02:09:16,160 --> 02:09:20,200
Speaker 2: recently revealed a lot of them are in big trouble

2514
02:09:20,360 --> 02:09:23,800
Speaker 2: financially sometimes from gambling, sometimes maybe for some other reason.

2515
02:09:24,080 --> 02:09:27,160
Speaker 2: Let's say you got something on a particular player. Hmm,

2516
02:09:27,400 --> 02:09:29,360
Speaker 2: do you want your family, your wife, your girlfriend to

2517
02:09:29,400 --> 02:09:32,040
Speaker 2: know about filling the blank thing that we know about

2518
02:09:32,080 --> 02:09:34,560
Speaker 2: and we will make public if you don't throw the

2519
02:09:34,600 --> 02:09:38,880
Speaker 2: game for us and move away from professional sports and

2520
02:09:38,880 --> 02:09:41,640
Speaker 2: start considering whether or not that might happen in politics

2521
02:09:41,640 --> 02:09:44,720
Speaker 2: with our politicians kind of makes you wonder, given how

2522
02:09:44,720 --> 02:09:46,920
Speaker 2: they vote, sometimes like, wait a second, this person never

2523
02:09:47,000 --> 02:09:49,840
Speaker 2: voted along the lines that they just voted. Why did

2524
02:09:49,840 --> 02:09:54,200
Speaker 2: that come about? Maybe just maybe It certainly puts a

2525
02:09:54,200 --> 02:09:57,400
Speaker 2: reasonable amount of suspicion in my head and probably should everybody.

2526
02:09:57,440 --> 02:09:58,920
Speaker 2: So when you're watching the game and you got your

2527
02:09:58,960 --> 02:10:01,680
Speaker 2: popcorn out and you drink and your beer and you're wondering, humhm,

2528
02:10:03,040 --> 02:10:04,800
Speaker 2: is this really the outcome of the game? Did my

2529
02:10:04,920 --> 02:10:08,520
Speaker 2: team just lose because some almost have said an FCC

2530
02:10:08,640 --> 02:10:12,480
Speaker 2: non compliant word? Some jerk was righting around for a

2531
02:10:12,520 --> 02:10:16,000
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars paycheck eight forty six fifty five KR

2532

2542
02:10:46,800 --> 02:10:48,680
Speaker 2: move forward with a Smither event. I think he needs it.

2543
02:10:48,680 --> 02:10:51,520
Speaker 2: It's good therapy for him, and I certainly appreciate his

2544

2545

Speaker 2: right there at fifty five KR see dot com. Auschwitz

2546
02:10:57,520 --> 02:11:00,320
Speaker 2: not long ago, not far away, the exhibit currently at

2547
02:11:00,360 --> 02:11:02,240
Speaker 2: the Museum Center. If you didn't get a chance to

2548
02:11:02,280 --> 02:11:05,600
Speaker 2: listen to the Museum Center CEO and the CEO of

2549
02:11:05,720 --> 02:11:08,760
Speaker 2: the Center for Holocaust and Humanity kind of combined efforts

2550
02:11:08,800 --> 02:11:11,360
Speaker 2: on this one. And as a consequence of our conversation

2551
02:11:11,480 --> 02:11:14,000
Speaker 2: together on that this past Friday, it looks like we're

2552
02:11:14,040 --> 02:11:18,560
Speaker 2: probably going to have the April Listener lunch at the

2553
02:11:18,640 --> 02:11:21,160
Speaker 2: Museum Center. Now, we did this a long time ago,

2554
02:11:21,320 --> 02:11:23,360
Speaker 2: and I had completely forgotten about it, but they have

2555
02:11:23,400 --> 02:11:26,680
Speaker 2: catering service there. We could do a box lunch, enjoy

2556
02:11:26,760 --> 02:11:30,200
Speaker 2: some fellowship, and then visit the Auschwitz exhibit because it's

2557
02:11:30,200 --> 02:11:31,920
Speaker 2: only there for a limited time and that would be

2558
02:11:31,960 --> 02:11:34,240
Speaker 2: the last month it's available because it's moving out the

2559
02:11:34,280 --> 02:11:37,000
Speaker 2: second week of April. So I'm hoping that gets squared

2560
02:11:37,000 --> 02:11:39,720
Speaker 2: away because I think that'd be fascinating. Plus it's the

2561
02:11:39,800 --> 02:11:44,560
Speaker 2: Museum Center. What just an amazing, amazing building. What else

2562
02:11:45,000 --> 02:11:45,680
Speaker 2: we got here?

2563
02:11:45,760 --> 02:11:45,880
Speaker 4: Oh?

2564
02:11:45,920 --> 02:11:48,120
Speaker 2: Theah? The iHeartMedia app. Always got to put a plug

2565
02:11:48,160 --> 02:11:49,840
Speaker 2: in for that because they encourage you to download that

2566
02:11:49,880 --> 02:11:52,040
Speaker 2: app and listen to the content wherever you happen to be,

2567
02:11:52,120 --> 02:11:55,280
Speaker 2: all of the iHeartMedia content. Plus it's good for the show.

2568
02:11:55,760 --> 02:11:57,600
Speaker 2: I assure you of that, and thanks to everybody who

2569
02:11:57,600 --> 02:11:59,640
Speaker 2: listens on the app. Over to the finals. Let's see

2570
02:11:59,640 --> 02:12:02,000
Speaker 2: what Bob's this morning. Bob, welcome to the program. Happy

2571
02:12:02,040 --> 02:12:02,560
Speaker 2: Monday to you.

2572
02:12:03,360 --> 02:12:05,440
Speaker 9: Hey, send to you, Brian, How are you.

2573
02:12:05,400 --> 02:12:06,880
Speaker 2: Doing pretty good for Monday?

2574
02:12:08,320 --> 02:12:12,880
Speaker 9: Okay, good listen. I'm just calling because I listen to

2575
02:12:13,360 --> 02:12:16,640
Speaker 9: a lot. I'm out more here, Indiana. I've got a

2576
02:12:16,680 --> 02:12:20,040
Speaker 9: farm out here, and I hear Christopher Smitherman on there

2577
02:12:20,080 --> 02:12:21,840
Speaker 9: from time to time and I think he should be

2578
02:12:21,880 --> 02:12:29,000
Speaker 9: on there every damn day. He's got some great common

2579
02:12:29,080 --> 02:12:32,200
Speaker 9: sense and if I was him, I'd moved to Columbus

2580
02:12:32,200 --> 02:12:34,880
Speaker 9: and run for office up there and get the hell

2581
02:12:34,880 --> 02:12:35,840
Speaker 9: out of Cincinnati.

2582
02:12:38,440 --> 02:12:40,720
Speaker 2: He's got a very he's a financial planner, he's got

2583
02:12:40,720 --> 02:12:43,040
Speaker 2: a very successful business. He's one of those guys like

2584
02:12:43,160 --> 02:12:45,520
Speaker 2: I don't need this job. I want the job to

2585
02:12:45,600 --> 02:12:48,880
Speaker 2: help the city, and I know I just and it

2586
02:12:48,920 --> 02:12:50,440
Speaker 2: breaks my heart when a guy like that, who's so

2587
02:12:50,480 --> 02:12:52,440
Speaker 2: committed to the city he loves, wants to run to

2588
02:12:52,480 --> 02:12:55,680
Speaker 2: make a positive change for everyone, doesn't quite make it.

2589
02:12:56,240 --> 02:12:58,280
Speaker 2: And I'm glad you like to hear from them as

2590
02:12:58,360 --> 02:13:00,160
Speaker 2: much as I do. I agree with you, and you're

2591
02:13:00,320 --> 02:13:02,800
Speaker 2: the in terms of the vast majority of listeners who

2592
02:13:02,880 --> 02:13:05,000
Speaker 2: get back with me on his segment on the show.

2593
02:13:05,560 --> 02:13:08,560
Speaker 2: Everyone seems to love hearing from Christopher. So include yourself

2594
02:13:08,600 --> 02:13:09,960
Speaker 2: in some great company there, Bob.

2595
02:13:10,360 --> 02:13:13,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, if he ever wants to go fishing, just put

2596
02:13:13,240 --> 02:13:15,440
Speaker 9: my last name down there and count the come on out.

2597
02:13:17,160 --> 02:13:19,880
Speaker 9: There's always good conversation over a fishing line.

2598
02:13:19,920 --> 02:13:22,160
Speaker 2: You know, hey, man, brother also helps you got a

2599
02:13:22,200 --> 02:13:25,160
Speaker 2: cold one in your hand too, isn't that why you fished? Bob,

2600
02:13:25,280 --> 02:13:27,760
Speaker 2: thanks very much for the call. Yeah, the big story

2601
02:13:27,760 --> 02:13:30,240
Speaker 2: this morning. Of course, the Democrats, at least a handful

2602
02:13:30,280 --> 02:13:32,320
Speaker 2: of them come jumping over the Republican side of the

2603
02:13:32,360 --> 02:13:35,200
Speaker 2: ledger and in return for some very minor concessions, have

2604
02:13:35,240 --> 02:13:37,840
Speaker 2: agreed to open the government up, advancing the bill out

2605
02:13:37,840 --> 02:13:42,840
Speaker 2: of committee. Provisions one negotiated by Senator Tim Kaine, A

2606
02:13:44,360 --> 02:13:46,960
Speaker 2: reversing the firings of the federal workers that will trump

2607
02:13:47,000 --> 02:13:49,640
Speaker 2: let go because the government was shut down. Note that

2608
02:13:49,680 --> 02:13:52,480
Speaker 2: would not have happened if the government was not shut down.

2609
02:13:52,920 --> 02:13:56,880
Speaker 2: Forbid additional firings through January thirty first, which just keeps

2610
02:13:56,880 --> 02:13:59,400
Speaker 2: the government open until January thirty first, allegedly to get

2611
02:13:59,440 --> 02:14:04,520
Speaker 2: them enough to to pass the continuing resolutions. Fine, there

2612
02:14:04,520 --> 02:14:06,920
Speaker 2: wouldn't be any additional firings if the government was not

2613
02:14:06,960 --> 02:14:10,200
Speaker 2: shut down. Also ensuring that the federal workers who were

2614
02:14:10,280 --> 02:14:13,000
Speaker 2: let go are actually going to get their paychecks. That

2615
02:14:13,200 --> 02:14:15,560
Speaker 2: I think was guaranteed by statute or legislation, but at

2616
02:14:15,600 --> 02:14:18,440
Speaker 2: least that's a written provision in this bill. So basically

2617
02:14:18,480 --> 02:14:20,840
Speaker 2: status quo. Had the government not shut down, all of

2618
02:14:20,840 --> 02:14:22,680
Speaker 2: those things, well, none of those things ever would have happen.

2619
02:14:22,680 --> 02:14:25,360
Speaker 2: They wouldn't have had been addressed. Then there's the promise

2620
02:14:25,520 --> 02:14:28,919
Speaker 2: of the vote in the resolution or in the agreement

2621
02:14:30,320 --> 02:14:34,760
Speaker 2: they agree the Republicans do to vote on whether or

2622
02:14:34,800 --> 02:14:38,680
Speaker 2: not the health care subsidies will be extended. Now, I

2623
02:14:38,680 --> 02:14:40,800
Speaker 2: think you and I and the Democrats could togall along

2624
02:14:40,840 --> 02:14:43,120
Speaker 2: that that's not going to happen. I can't see the

2625
02:14:43,120 --> 02:14:45,800
Speaker 2: Republicans capitulating when it's just a single vote on whether

2626
02:14:45,840 --> 02:14:49,000
Speaker 2: to extend healthcare subsidies they've been on record as opposing

2627
02:14:49,040 --> 02:14:52,920
Speaker 2: for so long, notably again healthcare subsidies that the Democrats

2628
02:14:53,320 --> 02:14:56,120
Speaker 2: own hand set to expire at the end of December.

2629
02:14:57,600 --> 02:15:01,960
Speaker 2: So all this for that, and again I'll point to

2630
02:15:01,960 --> 02:15:04,160
Speaker 2: the appellate court decision that came out last night saying

2631
02:15:04,160 --> 02:15:06,360
Speaker 2: you got a fun snap at one hundred percent. Democrats

2632
02:15:06,360 --> 02:15:08,640
Speaker 2: saw that, going, oh, there's a bunch of angry people

2633
02:15:08,640 --> 02:15:11,920
Speaker 2: that aren't going to be angry anymore, leaving them with

2634
02:15:12,040 --> 02:15:18,040
Speaker 2: the chaos of airports being shut down. I don't know

2635
02:15:18,080 --> 02:15:22,960
Speaker 2: the number of constituents impacted by the delays and cancelations

2636
02:15:22,960 --> 02:15:25,560
Speaker 2: of airline flights, but I imagine they're a little more well

2637
02:15:25,560 --> 02:15:27,920
Speaker 2: connected and a little more well healed than the snap

2638
02:15:27,960 --> 02:15:30,400
Speaker 2: recipients who the Democrats were more than willing to throw

2639
02:15:30,480 --> 02:15:32,240
Speaker 2: under the bus in the name of creating pain and

2640
02:15:32,320 --> 02:15:34,400
Speaker 2: chaos to get what they ultimately wanted.
