WEBVTT - 1-22-26 Scott Sloan Show 0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:06.480 We show seven hundred WLW waiting on the White Death 0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:09.560 but you six to ten maybe is what they're saying. 0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:11.600 Now, we'll see, we'll see, let's say, we'll see. 0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:15.640 Stuff going on in the world. Every week we wait 0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:17.520 for the Supreme Court to come up with the rulings. 0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:18.720 They don't tell you ahead of time what they're going 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:20.920 to be, what they're gonna be deciding. But three came 0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:22.680 out this week, and not one of them had to 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:24.960 deal with tariffs. And as you may or may not know, 0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:29.160 these Supreme Courts, probably the busiest under the Trump administration. 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:32.760 With these rulings, are going to determine how much flexibility 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:37.559 the president has to levy tariffs. And the early indication 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:40.600 on this is the Supreme Court is leaning towards disagreement, 0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:42.080 but that could all change. 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:43.600 They hold it very close to the vest. 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.040 Obviously, let's bring in Ilias Shapiro on this or the 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:47.520 Manhattan inst to Welcome to the morning. 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:49.720 How are you good morning, Scott? 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:53.880 Yeah, not quite sure what theory they're going to rest on, 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:57.480 but a majority of the justiceses definitely seemed skeptical that, 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.600 at least under this particular statute, which has never been 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:03.040 used for tariffs that the president could do what he's doing. 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:05.920 Yeah, the bottom line here, so we saw that at 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:07.960 least two of the likely swing by the Conservatives, it 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:12.399 be John robertson Justice Barrett Gamy Comy. Barrett indicated that 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.080 maybe they're not inclined to see Trump's side of this thing. 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:20.000 Roberts quote was, the vehicle is in position of taxes 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.160 on Americans, and that's always been the core power of Congress. 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:25.560 Even one of Trump's attorneys admitted, I believe it was 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:27.800 attorney admitted that this was a tax. The fact of 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:29.280 Texas this undermine the whole thing. 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:35.760 Yeah, the Congress cannot delegate its power to tax, and 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:40.160 presumably that includes the power to tariff, although other statutes 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.800 that are more narrower have not been challenged in the past, 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:47.600 and presidents going back, you know, decades have used it. 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.280 In fact, the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett later said, well, 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:54.520 the Supreme Court and validates this. We have other ways 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.560 of accomplishing pretty much the same thing, and that is 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.520 more or less correct. If the tariff from or targeted, 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:04.240 you know, China for national security reasons, other countries for retaliation, 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.520 or whatever the case might be, there are ways of 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.440 running a tariff re jream through the executive office, but 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.560 probably not this particular statue. 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:17.399 The Solicitor General Sauer read a letter from James Madison 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.600 that it felt like, as I mentioned, undermined their argument 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:24.320 in saying that, well, a tariff is attacks. Has that 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.600 been overblown that quote or is that something that is 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:28.840 going to weigh in the minds of the justices. 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.359 Well, it's all part of the same puzzle. So the 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:36.640 first level analysis is the text of this statute, the 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:40.840 International Economic Emergency Prevention Act IIPA as it's called, and 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.560 which lists a whole bunch of things that the president 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:49.880 can do in an emergency block embargo, do various but 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.800 the tax is not listed. And so lawyers, there's a 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:54.720 tool of interpretation that says, if you have a big 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.680 long list and what you want to do is not included, 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.000 well that's a pretty good indication that that there's no 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:02.400 authority for that particular thing. 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.400 So that's especially what Justice Barrett was skeptical about. 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:11.600 And then beyond that is this constitutional delegation of taxing 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:15.200 authority that we just discussed that for example, Justice Gorsich 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.920 was particularly skeptical about. In Chief Justice Roberts, he just 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:25.080 thought of, as you just mentioned, this is a major 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:30.079 question of economic significance, and unless Congress speaks explicitly, he's 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.520 going to be doubtful that the executive can just assume 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:34.079 that power. 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:38.560 Ellie Shapiro, Manhattan Insteed, one of the legal framework questions 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.600 you're going to hear thrown around during this decision. It's 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.920 a big one too, because this is a lovely cornerstone 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.480 of his second administration, the tariffs, and as struck down 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.360 by the Court, that's certainly going to have implications to 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:52.080 the markets and everything else. It's called the Major Questions Doctrine, 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.600 which I understand is a relatively new piece of judicial framework. 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.000 Can you explain what it is and how they developed 0:03:58.040 --> 0:03:59.119 it and wide applies here? 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.200 Apparently I got way ahead of you because that's what 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:07.880 I was describing that. You know, that's I was trying 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.320 to kind of break it down. Yeah, it's called development. 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.920 This is especially the developed in the last decade or so. 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:20.000 When there's a question of major political social economics significance, 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.520 unless Congress has specified it, they're not going to defer 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.679 to the executive branch about that. At Chief Justice Roberts, 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:32.720 the middle of the Court, Roberts, Barrett Cavanaugh are especially 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:37.040 concerned about that, although in this case, Cavanaugh, who's thought 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:40.960 as a median vote, seemed to be more towards the 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.800 government side, more deferential to executive power. 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.839 Okay, got it sounds like jeopardy there. The answer was 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:51.560 a question Elly Sapiro at Manhattan Institute on the show 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.320 This Morning on seven hundred w LW it is it 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.000 tough to read the tea leaves and saying, well, you know, 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:00.560 Justice Amy Coney, Barrett said this, and Justice on Roberts 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.360 said this, and you go and you start to how 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.400 often does that turned out to be true? Because their 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.760 job is to ask probing questions. Is it presumptuous to 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:10.400 kind of read into that like we're doing right now? 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.479 Well, I mean, my prediction is worth what you're paying 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:19.120 for it. And you know, I have a quote unquote expertise. 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.200 I followed the court. I filed briefs myself. I have 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:25.080 written a book about the Supreme Court, Supreme disorder, about 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:29.000 judicial nominations and the politics there. You do your best, 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:33.040 and the justices in the end can surprise. Oral argument 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.000 is the tip of the iceberg. It's what we see. 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.640 But you know, the briefs are important, and the justices 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.560 discussions and the drafts of the opinions going back and forth. 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.400 So nobody's ever going to give you one hundred percent certainty. 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:45.720 Right. 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.280 It wasn't long ago that the court struck down Biden's 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:54.640 student loan forgiveness. And does that factor into this is 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:56.479 a shadow of the upcoming decision? 0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:58.839 I think it does. I think it does. 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.800 And a lot of commentators have compared it to that 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:06.040 and and other ways in which the Court has gone 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.000 against the executive brands the last couple of presidencies. 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:10.760 Uh. 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.440 You know, they're they're deferential to a point. Uh. 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.640 And you know that's why the Solicer General, the government's lawyer, 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.360 kept pressing about that this is a foreign policy issue 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.159 because the president typically gets more difference from courts on 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:28.360 foreign policy national security. But there's this important statute involved. Uh, 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:33.480 And you know, just like Biden's reading, his administration's reading 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.840 of the relevant statute for student loans or for the 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:41.680 the vaccine mandate for private employers, the court said that 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.200 that was stretching the statute, reading into it things that 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:44.760 weren't there. 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:46.960 It seems to be that's what they're going here. 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.160 Yeah, we mentioned the Solicitor General tried to distinguish the 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.800 terrorist and taxes, but you know, the economists and apparently 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:57.080 several justices see them as is the same thing. And 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.520 how does that how does that work with this court 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:03.680 and constant social interpretation and also looking at well economic reality, 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.440 because there's a new study out from a highly regarded 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.240 think tank been around a long time and said that 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.480 out of every dollar, American consumers and businesses pay ninety 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.880 six cents on each dollar for the cost of traff 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.200 So we have absorbed the cost of the tariffs. Made 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:19.800 that change down the line, We don't know, but you know, 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.720 clearly he's losing support among business owners and the American 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.240 people because the high cost of goods with the tariffs. 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.520 You know, the market's obviously watching this very very closely. 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.600 The I mean, the President himself sort of undermines his 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:33.840 own case because he brags about all the revenue that's 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.480 being brought in by the tariffs, and the legal definition 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:44.400 of a tax is a legislative action that raises revenue. 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:49.600 So you know, I'm even less of a good predictor 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.800 of the markets, otherwise I'd be helping other than prostitutional lawyer. Right, 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:59.280 But it seems like large employers have already large large manufacturers, producers, 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.760 companies already priced in the cost of the tariffs and 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.880 pass them along to consumers. That's why these cases have 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:10.080 been brought by small businesses. And so how the markets 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.400 will react, I don't know. Is all of this already 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:15.520 priced in? Will getting rid of the tariff? The uncertainty 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.680 over that, will that harm the markets versus not having 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:22.520 this extra tech to liberate the tax liberate the markets. 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.360 That's unclear. Plus there's the remedial points. 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:26.600 So it's not just that the Supreme Court rules the 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.720 tariff is invalid and all of a sudden everybody instantly 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.400 gets a refund. There's a whole big question of how 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:35.880 you would you reverse that. Does each company that's paid 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.360 a tariff have to make a new claim? Do the 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:42.040 lower courts have power? Almost certainly, the Supreme Court is 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:43.760 not going to enter a remedial order. They're going to 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.719 leave that remand that back to the lower course to 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:47.640 figure out well. 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.480 Even bigger than that, do justices look at the after 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.040 effects of the decision in that you know, the businesses 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.480 have already paid these tariffs. What does that what's the 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:57.800 refrun process look like, or do we keep their money 0:08:57.880 --> 0:08:59.599 or do they get to the nuances of that or 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.160 they just on this decision and let everyone else sort 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:02.760 that out after. 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:05.920 Yeah, it's a it's a it's a separate issue. There's 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.040 the issue of remedies and there are you know, the 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:12.520 government when when it was asking for a stay of 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.480 the lower court rule and blocking the tariffs, said oh, well, 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.079 if we turn out to be wrong, we can always 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:20.640 refund the money. So they kind of hurt their own 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:24.360 long term interest by by arguing that in the in 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.680 the short term and theory, in this digital age, everyone 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:29.240 has records of who paid what, and you should be 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.600 able to if there's a court order to for all 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:35.280 the customs inspectors and whatnot, to just reverse the charge 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.320 and you know, make the make the wire go in 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:39.720 the other direction, that that should be done. I mean, 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.559 it's it might be more complicated than certain other things, 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.439 but it's not an impossible task. 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:48.840 Hilly Shapiro, Manhattan Institute on the Supreme Court weighing Trump's 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.080 tariffs right now, and it is it's hanging in the balance. 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:52.800 Uh. 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.800 The early indication seemed that at least a couple of 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:59.560 more conservative members of the panel are leaning towards knocking 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.880 this thing down. But we'll see again as they contemplate this. 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:05.560 And there's also the precedent here too. If the court 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:09.560 rules against Trump, what does that mean for future presidents 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.320 or parties or who want to use that executive authority 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:13.520 on economic policies. 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.680 That question came up that if we allow this, would 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:22.120 a future president be able to declare an international emergency 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:27.040 for climate change and therefore tax car companies and other 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:32.280 manufacturers that contribute to climate change. And the Socier General 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.400 said potentially yes. So I don't think that's going to 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:36.200 sit very well. 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.520 Gillia Shapiro on from Manhattan Institute on Scoontserland Show, seven 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:44.320 hundred WLW. The Supreme Court three cases announced the sweet decisions. 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:45.959 Three cases, none of them had to deal with Tariff's. 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:47.839 That's kind of the big one we're waiting on right now, 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.760 simply because we're starting to feel well, we have been 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:51.600 feeling the effects of it. 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:51.800 Now. 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:55.120 The researchers caught up with it that American consumers are 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.760 response for ninety six percent of all the costs passed 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:01.120 down to us from this tariff plan. And is it 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.440 worth the pain that we're seeing. That is what we 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.520 decide is consumers, But the Supreme Court is said to 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.080 decide whether that's is entirely legal, and that would be 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:10.559 a mess to unravel as well. 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:11.680 Uh, the early. 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:15.080 Indications, again going back to what November I believe, are 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.160 that the Supreme courts some of the questions asked the 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:18.680 leans towards knocking this thing down. 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:22.120 Again, that's the that's the conventional wisdom as we've been discussing. 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:27.000 But and there are I think polymarket or some some 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.080 there there's some way you can bet on court opinions. 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:30.760 It might be offshore or something like that. 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.120 So you know, that's not not a bad way of 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.120 checking what the wisdom of clouds might be. But uh, 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.360 you know, the just like in the NFL, the reason 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:42.120 you know, any given Sunday, anything can happen. And so 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.760 that's why the reason we play these games is you know, 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.559 they could they could take it in a completely different direction. 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.440 All due respect, but you know, we we often defer 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.480 to the pundit class. Like for example, Trump is going 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.680 to you know, Summer is going to strike down gay marriage, 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:55.840 and of course they went, now, we're not we're not 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.600 doing that. And was that a pleasant surprise. Not really, 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:02.000 It wasn't a surprise at all that that would that 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.640 would be almost impossible to do out side of your 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:06.880 scope of what we're talking about here. But I think 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:08.680 that applies to some degree as well. They're not going 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.160 to go there. You know, the idea that somehow they're 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:12.880 just going to do everything Trump wants to do is 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:13.800 it's rather silly. 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:16.360 Yeah, that's absolutely right. 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:18.719 And and there's all these media narratives gend up that 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.439 this is Trump's court and that's just not true. What 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:26.760 they've been ruling is to allow the president to reorganize 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.079 the executive branch. He's the head of the executive branch. 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:34.679 He controls it. When he steps over into violating individual 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:40.520 rights or or or stepping into legislative territory, that's when the. 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.040 Administration has taken its losses. 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.400 And they've been strategic about which case is to to 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.280 bring up to the Supreme Court, which is why they 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.000 have a very high win rate thus far in the 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:50.840 second Trump administration. 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:52.920 Yeah, i'd be interesting we're all following this case because 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.000 this is the cornerstone of a second administration, is the tariffs, 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.640 and you know, it's as we said, it's gonna take 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.760 a long time. But if the strikes us down, it 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.360 also gives him cover, I think to politically speaking, if 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:07.040 the Supreme Court tries to pull back on his what 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:08.560 he's trying to do here, he has now a little 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.480 bit of cover and excuse going. Well, it would have 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.080 worked if it wasn't for the damn meddling Supreme Court. 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.319 Like scooby doo, that's right, that's right. 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:18.800 And it also there's two economists are correct that the 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:19.880 tariff has hurt our. 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.240 Economy, hurt consumers. 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:25.640 Then you know, then the markets will be up, things 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:29.600 will be better economically, while he still gets to rail 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.880 against these enemies and to help him politically. 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:34.720 So even if he might not like it. 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.880 It might be beneficial, especially ahead of the midterms. 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:41.560 Director of con Social Studies and Senior filthy in Manhattan Institute, 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.560 Ilia Shapiro on this great analysis. 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.920 I appreciate it. Have a wonderful day, my pleasure. 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:46.280 Scott. 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:50.440 Yeah, so the court decided three cases. 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.959 This so weak, and I think I saw the next 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:56.080 time maybe I want to say right around in the February, 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.600 maybe like February twentieth. For some reason, six in my mind, 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:00.840 their schedule be back on the bench, I believe that 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.160 day and another round of oral arguments, and so that's 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:06.480 when they'll hear the arguments from next opinion. But regardless, 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.960 we're still waiting for this decision. Supreme Court holds their 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:10.640 cars very close to the best and these things we 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:12.720 don't know ahead of time what they're going to rule on, 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:16.319 if all, we'll find out. So and I know the 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.920 administration wanted to be a quick decision on this one, 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.400 and it's been going on since what November, I believe, 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:24.120 So yeah, they will do things at their own pace. 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:27.960 And to iliash point, everyone thinks that because of the 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.080 conservative lean of this court that they're all in Trump's pocket. 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:32.360 It's just simply not true. 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.040 Because every time they rule something you think is God 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:36.680 They're just going to give this a Trump and they don't. 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.600 Then people were shocked and surprised. Well, yeah, the Supreme 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.720 Court has always been that way. So as we talk 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:45.120 about loading the courts and things like that, that's more 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.120 political than it is reality. If you look at the 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.120 results of this thing. Certainly they do lead conservative of 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.920 their decisions, but you know, to the victor belong the spoils. 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.000 If you're in office and you get to a point 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.360 a Supreme Court justice, it's a huge win for not 0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:58.560 only your term but your party. 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.000 That's just how it is. We'll find out how it 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:01.520 plays out. 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:03.960 But I keep getting back that study, and it feels 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:08.000 that way that ninety six cents of every dollar is 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.240 paid for in these terrorists by me and you and 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.080 business to some degree, it can only absorb the. 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:13.600 Cost so much. 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:15.760 That's where you're seeing the price things go up, and 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.000 inflation being kind of sticky, it ticked down a little bit, 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:20.800 and you know, businesses in Wall Street kind of factor 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:23.080 that in the future, but doesn't make it easier for 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:24.520 us when you go to the store to get some 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.120 ground beef, make some tacos, and you cringe at the 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.400 price of you know, just simple ground beef. That is 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:33.480 a problem, inflation and tariffs together making everything more expensive. 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:33.880 For sure. 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:35.720 We've got news on the way, of course, the big 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:39.040 story around around these parts. In the snow that's coming 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.240 late yesterday, I heard, ah, okay, we feel comfortable maybe 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.240 in the three to six inch window, and now we're 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.800 like in the six to ten inch window. And if 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:49.920 the storm keeps track of this way, we could, you know, 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.960 six to ten maybe a moderate guess. At this point, 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.400 we'll find out what happens. Now it's still yeah, and 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:57.520 they've hedged thereabouts. I will give the climate terists a 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.640 lot of care credits saying, listen, if the warm pushes 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:02.680 down or up or wherever the hell of war mare's 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:04.440 coming in from, I guess from the south, that's going 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:08.280 to cause more sleep less accumulation. It all depends how breaks. 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:10.400 We're literally right on that line, as you know in 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.520 the past. So with each passing hour we get a 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:15.280 little bit more clear what that forecast is going to 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.520 be, because they're extremely accurate when about thirty six hours, thirty six, 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:20.920 forty eight hours. But outside of that, it's it's kind 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.000 of like a crapshoot to some degree, and the further 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.360 out you are, the bigger crapshoot it is. In this case, though, 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.040 we're kind of getting close to that window where it 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:31.040 looks like it's almost a guarantee. So have the shovels ready, 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:34.520 get ready to go. I feel a Kroger run going 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.920 going on today. People probably tomorrow tomorrow, and be like, okay, 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:39.960 we're really getting this Friday's gonna be diverus. 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.120 Get your milk and batteries now to get through those 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:42.640 two days. 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:45.480 Anyway, we'll get a news update in full, forecast traffic 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.520 all that, just to havead Scott sloan on this Thursday morning, 0:16:48.560 --> 0:17:03.480 seven hundred WLW song stills, still's good, sloany here, seven 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:09.720 hundred WLW all right, awaiting the White Death. The White 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:12.760 Death is imminent here. Typically, don't we rip on the 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:15.080 forecasters when they're trying to predict it ten days out 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:16.720 and there's no way they can accurately do that, But 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.119 when you get into the about forty eight hour model 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:22.240 and they're pretty damn good, And right now we're getting 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:25.399 very close to that window, being pretty close to ninety 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.120 percent accuracy there. So the winter Star March are looking 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.040 at six to ten now six to ten and higher 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.240 snow totals can't be rolled out. It just depends on 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:36.159 where this line is moving, you know, fifty miles either way, 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:38.240 you still got it. He will get some snow and 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.760 we'll see how extreme it is. But right now, as 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.359 it stands, we are going to get blasted, absolutely blasted. 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.360 Creek Steward at ten oh seven, you may know him. 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.560 He's I call him like, not a survivalist because I 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:52.000 don't know that. That's kind of cringey preparedness guy. He's 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:53.520 also with the Weather Channel, so he's a little bit 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.520 more moderate to that thing. I don't need the guys, 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:59.159 the people who are out there waiting for the apocalypse. 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:02.159 I'm ready for the I'm ready for it. Like I 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.000 don't know if I die because the apocalypse has come 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:07.119 in good. I don't need to survive bloodthirsty zombies and 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:10.880 everything else like nuclear winter, and like, I'm good. 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:11.440 I'm good. 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:14.080 You guys handle that. I'm fine on that. It's my time. 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:15.439 It's my time. It's why I look at it. 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:16.919 Hopefully. 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.320 It's after the AFC NFC games anyway, so Creek is 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.120 coming up. We'll talk about just preparedness and stuff like that. 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:24.680 And you know, what are you gonna do? You we're 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.480 stuck at home. So today's the day. Tomorrow's a day 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.480 go to Kroger and load up on your batteries and bread. 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:33.720 It's gonna be uh, this stands up. It's gonna be 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:35.719 a good few days for you. So it's always good 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:37.480 to check that stuff again. You know, you can be 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.280 extreme about it, but yeah, when you go like, wow, 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:41.720 I guess I should have went the stir because I 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.119 don't have any water, or you know, what do you 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:45.080 do if the heat goes out? 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:46.560 Or something like that. They're good questions. 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:48.640 He's got answers for you anyway, about a half hour 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.200 from now, because it is a topical thing, speaking of which, 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:56.760 speaking of which, you know, intersecting reality and politics for 0:18:56.840 --> 0:19:00.800 a second. If Governor Andrew Basher of Texas ran for president, 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:04.560 I wouldn't vote for him for one time, for one 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:06.199 reason only you go, well, because he's a Democrat. 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:08.960 No no, no, no, no, no, not at all. He seems 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:09.680 more of a moderate. 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:12.160 But the reason I would governor be sure, because this 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:17.200 guy gets sworn in and it's a non stop chain 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:20.479 of emergencies he has to govern. I know he has 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.480 no control over this stuff. It just it happens. But 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.520 if that's the kind of luck you're bringing to Kentucky, 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:30.120 I don't know about the United States of America. One 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:33.240 year ago, Governor Basher declared the state of emergency for 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.880 the winters storm we had last January, and that very 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:38.520 well happened again. If this stands up, I would expect 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:41.480 to occur again. But I was thinking of this this morning. 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.240 I actually had to look it up. Of all the 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:49.480 disasters and emergencies that Andy Basheer has presided over through 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:53.000 no fault of his own obviously, you know, and the 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:55.360 job chooses the man to some degree here. But if 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:56.960 that's kind of streaky you bring with you, I'm not 0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:00.399 quite sure. We work through a lot right now, you 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:02.399 go back to it. I mean, he came into office 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:06.240 from you know, COVID obviously had to do that. And 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:10.280 then we had tornadoes in twenty twenty one, eighty one 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:13.280 deaths there and that was in December twenty twenty one. 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:16.479 In July twenty twenty two, he had the Eastern Kentucky flooding, 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:18.440 another forty five deaths. There was a one in one 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:22.200 thousand year rainfall event with over six hundred helicopter rescues. 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:28.120 Then in twenty twenty five February last year, we had 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:33.000 the Eastern Kentucky floods where twenty two people died. And 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:35.600 then in April twenty twenty five we had more flooding 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:39.920 and thirteen counties there were affected by this, including McCracken 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:40.720 and Mercer. 0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:42.600 And ohen Hardin counties. 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:46.880 May twenty twenty four, We had tornadoes in western Kentucky 0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:49.800 in November twenty twenty three, there were the Eastern Kentucky 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:54.679 wildfires where he declared a state of emergency on November ninth, 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.800 right after being re elected. Or you had thirty one 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:03.400 active fires burning twenty thousand acres, three hundred plus firefighters 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:07.879 deployed across the commonwealth and those are just natural. Then 0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:10.680 you had the shooting in Louisville in April of twenty 0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:12.960 twenty three. Five people dead there, so it was a 0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:17.480 mass casualty event. One of his closest friends and senior 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:19.160 vice president the bank was one of the people who died, 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:22.800 and he was pretty emotional. Remember that is talking about 0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:25.720 one of his friends being murdered. Horrible thing for the 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:29.199 governor to go through. We had the Baptist church shooting 0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:33.159 in Lexington, two people killed, three injured there. We had 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:37.320 the Kentucky State University shooting happening just last year November, 0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:40.399 I'm sorry, December, a month ago. He had one student 0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:42.159 killed in the person critically injured. And of course the 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:45.080 Louisville plane crash ups plane going down as well. All 0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:50.440 of that happening in the Bisher's term. That's a lot going. 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:52.240 That's a you know, a couple of those things. Not 0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:54.399 for anybody. It was like a steady drumbeat. I'm just 0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:56.919 some people just draw that. I don't know what it is, 0:21:57.240 --> 0:22:00.199 had why it's all happening on his watch, but that 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:02.960 go damn. So I'm ready for another Andy Bsheer press 0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:05.680 conference where he's wearing the you know, they wear that jacket, 0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:07.480 it says Governor Andy b Sheer, and then they've got like 0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:10.320 the the I don't know what is that, the security 0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:13.680 logo or the Department of Oh my god, the OMG 0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:17.200 logo on it. The governors have that jacket in their arsenal. 0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:19.760 I'm wonder how much they travel with those. The wine 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:21.360 has it too, So if it's you know, if it's 0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:23.320 a very serious thing, they've got that, they've got the 0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:25.960 it's like a lightweight. This time of year, you think 0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:27.800 you'd want a big I don't know, like the north 0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:29.879 Face parka with the logo on it. But it's like 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:32.320 the little jacket. It's like the jacket the president has 0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:35.000 on Air Force one. You know, Trump has that jacket, 0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:37.760 says you know, President Trump whatever, and then the presidential 0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:39.359 seal on it. It's the only time they really have 0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:41.680 that jacket I put my I got I got a 0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:45.280 jacket for this. Actually, like my wife Michelle, she's got 0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:48.200 jacket for everything. I got a jacket for that. Going 0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:51.800 to a random I don't know, nk U Norse game, 0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:54.560 I got a coat. What got a hat for that? 0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:59.000 I got a hat. We're good, We're good. I'm gonna 0:22:59.000 --> 0:23:01.160 have to ask her about this. I just saw this online. 0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:05.800 She's on eleven thirty this morning TV show Houses the 0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:08.800 famous to you think of the famous houses from TV shows. 0:23:09.560 --> 0:23:13.479 For the first time in almost fifty years, the Fresh 0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:16.439 Prince of bel Air Mansion is now for sale thirty 0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:17.680 million dollars. 0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:19.560 And I didn't know this. 0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:23.560 It's actually about two blocks away from where OJ didn't 0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:28.399 kill his wife in Brentwood, California. It was built nineteen 0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:31.400 thirty seven, six bedrooms, seven and a half bath, ten 0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:34.160 thousand square feet. It's a corner lot and the lot 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:36.080 itself is about forty thousand square feet. 0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:36.800 That's pretty big. 0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:39.359 And it's actually I guess the footprint is a little 0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:43.080 smaller than the Banks family home from the show and 0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:44.520 that one's said. I have ten bedrooms and four and 0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:47.280 a half bathrooms, but that's a pretty sonsable state. They're 0:23:47.280 --> 0:23:50.040 thirty mil for that bad boy, thirty mil, which I 0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:52.080 think up to this point has been AIRBNBD. 0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:53.320 I think it was like a verbo. 0:23:53.359 --> 0:23:56.280 You could actually stay in the Fresh Prince House, the 0:23:56.320 --> 0:23:59.159 French Prince Mansion, I should say. I'm not sure if 0:23:59.160 --> 0:24:01.320 that includes the Stinky Cabby or not. I have no idea. 0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:04.119 It's like the folks here in Sincey where they had 0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:06.359 the Seinfeld apartment that they rent. I think that's that's 0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:08.720 still fantas. The Friend's apartment and the Seinfeld department. 0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:09.600 They still have those. 0:24:10.119 --> 0:24:11.720 It's a couple of years ago, I'm sure they do, 0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:14.600 probably making good bank off that. You gotta have a gimmick. 0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:17.280 You got to have a hook, as Blues Traveler said, 0:24:17.600 --> 0:24:23.480 it's the hook that brings you back. Also happening today 0:24:23.480 --> 0:24:28.040 the House Oversight Committee moving forward with the impeachment. I 0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:30.199 don't know what's going on. It's hard to say. Someone 0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:32.160 called it impeachment yesterday. I think that's quite right because 0:24:32.160 --> 0:24:34.800 you're no longer president. But I've just called the prosecution 0:24:34.880 --> 0:24:39.680 bill bill and Hillary Clinton for condemned to Congress, and 0:24:40.200 --> 0:24:43.320 this is over the Epstein files, and you know they 0:24:43.320 --> 0:24:46.040 subpoened him to testify and he said, I'll send you 0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:48.960 a letter instead, And it harkens back to the ODA 0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:50.879 when he was in office. Even it's a dancing or 0:24:50.920 --> 0:24:52.560 you're a lawyer kind of know what the law is. 0:24:53.800 --> 0:24:56.000 You know, if they say you've got to you gotta testify, 0:24:56.040 --> 0:24:58.199 you gotta testify, you can show up and you do that. 0:24:59.280 --> 0:25:01.040 And I think when you know nearly half of the 0:25:01.080 --> 0:25:04.760 Democrats on the Oversight Committee voted with the Republicans on 0:25:04.800 --> 0:25:07.080 this one, which shocked a lot of people, including the leader, 0:25:08.119 --> 0:25:11.199 to hold them in contemptive congress. I think there's I 0:25:11.200 --> 0:25:13.520 think that's a smart move, putting politics aside. 0:25:13.520 --> 0:25:13.560 Go. 0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:15.560 No, we want, we want answers. 0:25:16.000 --> 0:25:19.320 Back to yesterday, we're we're talking a little bit about 0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:22.199 the guy I'm talking to this with Julie blockare crusher 0:25:22.320 --> 0:25:28.600 about the dude who was protesting protesting he yelled pedophile 0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:32.159 protector the president at in Detroit when he present was 0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:35.239 touring a auto factor there and UW workers suspended for that. 0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:37.840 So I was a job topic. But you know, same thing. 0:25:37.880 --> 0:25:40.640 It's like people want answers with this, We we don't want. Ah, 0:25:40.640 --> 0:25:42.119 there's nothing to see here. We're going to have this 0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:43.880 big exposa and then you have this report and everything 0:25:43.920 --> 0:25:46.240 and what's in there A nothing? Yeah, well you're going 0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:48.000 to release that. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, no, no, we're 0:25:48.000 --> 0:25:50.679 not gonna And then enough people were outraged by this, 0:25:50.760 --> 0:25:52.240 like okay, yeah, we're going to release stuff, and now 0:25:52.280 --> 0:25:54.439 the DJ is like, well, we're just going to redact 0:25:54.440 --> 0:25:57.920 pretty much everything other than pretty much only thing left 0:25:58.080 --> 0:26:01.919 our conjunction, you know, And there's a lot of hands here. 0:26:01.920 --> 0:26:05.639 I don't see any names, any details. Yeah, well, at 0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:08.400 some point you really have to release that information. That's 0:26:08.400 --> 0:26:11.080 your campaign on. Let's do it. But and I get 0:26:11.080 --> 0:26:13.920 why Clinton's fighting because he feels he's a Democrat, He's 0:26:13.920 --> 0:26:15.720 the one getting There's a lot of Republicans there too, 0:26:15.760 --> 0:26:17.199 So it looks like, I don't know, it looks like 0:26:17.200 --> 0:26:19.680 all the wealthy, rich people who are both on the 0:26:20.119 --> 0:26:22.280 left and the right, and a much of other famous 0:26:22.320 --> 0:26:25.840 folks supporting either party seem to be swept up in this. 0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:27.800 And so if you have the reports out, it seems 0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:30.680 I don't think it's issue had that it's national security. 0:26:30.680 --> 0:26:32.720 That's what Nixon tried with Watergate, and it wasn't. It 0:26:32.760 --> 0:26:35.919 was just like we're breaking into this place because of 0:26:35.920 --> 0:26:38.520 the Pentagon papers, and we want to find out about 0:26:38.520 --> 0:26:40.760 the guy Daniel Olsberg who wrote the Pentagon papers and 0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:42.679 get dirt on him. And he's saying, Okay, that's not 0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:45.000 national security, that's an election. That's you trying to get 0:26:45.000 --> 0:26:48.800 elected or reelected, as the case may be. So I 0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:51.560 don't think it applies here too way, way too broad. Anyway, 0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:54.920 we'll find out what happens with Bill Clinton on a 0:26:54.960 --> 0:26:57.919 Second Amendment kind of topic here. I think this is small, 0:26:57.960 --> 0:26:59.520 but I think it's important. A lot of people are like, 0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:01.640 oh my god, here we go to the courts. This 0:27:01.680 --> 0:27:03.320 is the worst thing ever, just to show you we're 0:27:03.320 --> 0:27:06.120 going to protect these cop killers, which are cops anyway, 0:27:06.280 --> 0:27:07.959 that are killing people. And I think this is going 0:27:08.000 --> 0:27:10.560 to give the folks, i'd imagine in Minnesota a lot 0:27:10.600 --> 0:27:14.160 more ammunition to use against ice to see. 0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:14.320 How they do. 0:27:14.440 --> 0:27:16.359 They just protect the cops, they protect, you know, the 0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:18.320 fin blue line of the courts, and it's all a 0:27:18.400 --> 0:27:23.560 conspiracy to protect bad cops. I'm talking, of course about Uvalde, 0:27:23.680 --> 0:27:27.399 Texas and Adrian Gonzalez. He was a cop who delayed 0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:30.119 his response in the rob Elementary School shooting back in 0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:33.000 May of twenty twenty two in Uvaldi, and after one 0:27:33.040 --> 0:27:37.240 hour of deliberations, the jury returned innoculate guilty verdict on 0:27:37.280 --> 0:27:39.639 all twenty nine counts of child and days. Remember his 0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:42.520 response was it was you know, took seventy seven minutes 0:27:42.560 --> 0:27:46.240 for law enforcement could counter assault the shooter in which 0:27:46.320 --> 0:27:48.280 nineteen students and two teachers were killed. 0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:49.640 And you know that, I'm. 0:27:49.440 --> 0:27:51.560 Sure today, well, they got to get the protest done 0:27:51.600 --> 0:27:53.560 because it's going to snow. This is one thing to 0:27:53.600 --> 0:27:56.160 shut the protest down is sub zero temperatures in a blizzard. 0:27:56.440 --> 0:27:58.600 That'll do it. You've got to be really dedicated to 0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:03.600 be out there protesting in this kind of weather. But 0:28:03.680 --> 0:28:08.320 relative to Uvaldi, I look at that went so, what 0:28:08.359 --> 0:28:10.480 they're saying is this is going to be an indictment 0:28:10.520 --> 0:28:12.760 against police again right now. Now what they're saying is 0:28:13.080 --> 0:28:15.919 police officers really don't have a duty to help you. 0:28:16.960 --> 0:28:19.280 That's what I took out of that, going okay, and 0:28:19.320 --> 0:28:21.320 we've seen the court's side with that before, going yeah, 0:28:21.440 --> 0:28:24.359 really the cops just kind of show up and it 0:28:24.600 --> 0:28:25.720 happened in Florida. 0:28:25.359 --> 0:28:28.720 Too, like yeah, you know, we're really not we really don't. 0:28:28.520 --> 0:28:30.679 Have to protect you. I mean, that's kind of our 0:28:30.720 --> 0:28:33.159 modoling is what we do. But how far are you 0:28:33.200 --> 0:28:34.520 willing to go risk your neck when you got a 0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:36.679 lot of shooter in there and little backup, and so 0:28:36.760 --> 0:28:39.160 we need a plan. And I get it, I get it. 0:28:39.200 --> 0:28:43.040 But if this, if people are using this to go 0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:48.360 and essentially denounce law enforcement, I don't look at it that. 0:28:48.480 --> 0:28:49.880 I look at this as going at the end of 0:28:49.920 --> 0:28:54.280 the day, it's up you to protect you. Another way 0:28:54.280 --> 0:28:56.200 to examine this is taking the segment of an entirely 0:28:56.200 --> 0:28:59.400 and go, Okay, we have what six to ten to 0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:01.680 twelve or more or inches of snow coming in this weekend. 0:29:02.560 --> 0:29:06.959 We've seen that's certainly not a natural disaster. But we've 0:29:07.000 --> 0:29:10.120 seen natural disaster in the past where people expect the state, 0:29:10.360 --> 0:29:14.360 the government to show up and rescue us immediately. You know, 0:29:14.440 --> 0:29:16.640 flash floods and the light come to my hurricanes come 0:29:16.680 --> 0:29:18.760 to mind, things like that, Well, where the hell are 0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:21.000 that they should be here? Like, No, that's not how 0:29:21.040 --> 0:29:24.280 this works. It takes time for people to do things, 0:29:24.720 --> 0:29:28.680 especially the government. Music glacial speeds. The first few days, 0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:32.080 it's incumbent upon you to make sure you can take 0:29:32.120 --> 0:29:34.240 care of you and maybe if you have enough to 0:29:34.280 --> 0:29:36.080 take care of those around your neighbors. 0:29:35.800 --> 0:29:36.160 Et cetera. 0:29:36.240 --> 0:29:39.520 Right, so when disaster hits, you know, we have to 0:29:39.600 --> 0:29:42.400 see these commercials and we see presidents. I mentioned Bashir 0:29:42.480 --> 0:29:46.680 with his governor's tragedy, his tragedy slash emergency jacket that 0:29:46.680 --> 0:29:50.760 he wears that all governors have. But it takes time 0:29:50.960 --> 0:29:53.480 to mobilizing all that stuff in. You know, for the 0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:55.400 first few hours, for a few days, you may have 0:29:55.440 --> 0:29:57.640 to take care of yourself. And it gets back to 0:29:57.680 --> 0:29:59.680 that central tenant. We can't farm all that stuff up. 0:30:00.320 --> 0:30:02.479 I think people expect law enforcement to be there when 0:30:02.520 --> 0:30:04.800 the bad guys are there. Sometimes they get lucky and 0:30:04.880 --> 0:30:09.800 apprehend them in the act. Sometimes they get lucky and 0:30:10.600 --> 0:30:14.560 stop them before something bad happens. But all too often, 0:30:14.680 --> 0:30:19.520 almost exclusively, they respond to tragedies that already occurred and 0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:22.080 then try to investigate and find out and bring to 0:30:22.200 --> 0:30:26.080 justice those responsible. To be proactive and stopping serious crime 0:30:26.120 --> 0:30:30.040 is shooting an example, extremely rare. You know, we need 0:30:30.080 --> 0:30:32.680 a lot more police officers and investigators to do that. 0:30:33.360 --> 0:30:36.160 The fear you have Cincinnati, you just simply respond from 0:30:36.280 --> 0:30:37.880 run to run to run, and there's no time to 0:30:37.880 --> 0:30:40.520 be proactive. It's all reactive if you don't have enough 0:30:40.520 --> 0:30:43.880 police officers, if you don't have enough investigators. And so, 0:30:44.080 --> 0:30:47.200 I mean a lesson from Uvalde to me is that 0:30:47.360 --> 0:30:49.120 not everything is preventable. We're not going to be able 0:30:49.160 --> 0:30:51.000 to stop all bad guys. We're just not going to 0:30:51.680 --> 0:30:54.280 am I saying we should accept young kids from dying. No, 0:30:54.520 --> 0:30:56.960 But I think what's reasonable, though, is to try and 0:30:57.000 --> 0:31:00.600 mitigate that, to try and reduce that as much possible. 0:31:00.640 --> 0:31:03.280 And certainly mental health comes into that. Gun's come into that, 0:31:03.680 --> 0:31:07.480 policy comes into that. Human nature comes in that as well. 0:31:08.120 --> 0:31:10.240 You know, leaving the doors propped open, her door is 0:31:10.280 --> 0:31:12.560 unlocked or broken, lot, whatever it might be. There's only 0:31:12.600 --> 0:31:15.320 so many doors you can put up. If someone is 0:31:15.360 --> 0:31:19.240 hell bent on committing a mass casual event like this, 0:31:19.320 --> 0:31:21.240 they're going to find a way around that security. There's 0:31:21.280 --> 0:31:23.280 just no doubt about it. Literally, the only way you 0:31:23.280 --> 0:31:25.800 can protect yourself. The thin line is, and we did 0:31:25.800 --> 0:31:28.080 this in Ohio not long ago, is that like we 0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:32.840 allow teachers to carry guns. Now, we've had that law 0:31:32.880 --> 0:31:34.480 in Ohio for a long time, and you know what 0:31:34.520 --> 0:31:37.480 tells me it works is the fact we haven't had 0:31:37.480 --> 0:31:41.000 one occurrence where a teacher who is armed in a 0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:44.120 school has allowed the weapon the fall in the hands 0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:46.800 of a kid and shoot someone. I think there's been 0:31:46.800 --> 0:31:49.080 some cases where the kid has discovered the gun and 0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:51.720 the like and nothing bad happened. But you know, the 0:31:51.760 --> 0:31:53.280 idea was these teachers are going to bring guns in 0:31:53.280 --> 0:31:55.520 school to start shooting their own students for day. It's 0:31:55.520 --> 0:31:58.000 like pilots. We can't ar on pilots. Why well, because 0:31:58.000 --> 0:32:01.440 they may take hostages. They're the ones lie in the plane. 0:32:01.920 --> 0:32:04.480 They already have you hostage. They don't need a gun. 0:32:05.680 --> 0:32:08.440 AKA died eleven right. Uh, they could do these things 0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:10.120 if they want. There's been cases in history where the 0:32:10.160 --> 0:32:12.920 pilots have taken a plane and flown to another country 0:32:12.920 --> 0:32:14.720 with it. It's like, I'm the pilot. I could do 0:32:14.760 --> 0:32:16.040 what the hell I wanted to. I don't need a 0:32:16.080 --> 0:32:21.239 gun to do this. And so you know, and as 0:32:21.240 --> 0:32:23.040 someone who's are at pro Secondmendment, I see it that way. 0:32:23.040 --> 0:32:25.440 I see this Uvaldi thing is you know, the officer 0:32:25.440 --> 0:32:28.240 didn't respond. He's a coward. And I'd say it is 0:32:28.320 --> 0:32:30.960 like again, cops look at this and go, here's how 0:32:31.040 --> 0:32:33.040 much money I make? And I know I took an oath, 0:32:33.360 --> 0:32:34.840 but how far am I willing to go? And some 0:32:35.000 --> 0:32:36.880 you know, sometimes you have heroes are willing to put 0:32:36.880 --> 0:32:39.760 their put their bodies in the way of others harming 0:32:39.760 --> 0:32:41.840 and that that's why they're That's why you know, we 0:32:41.840 --> 0:32:46.560 should use that word hero very restrictively because I think 0:32:46.560 --> 0:32:48.840 that's thrown around too much. But when someone does that, 0:32:49.000 --> 0:32:51.680 you know, a teacher, for example, well taking a bullet 0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:54.320 for their student, that's a hero, right, But should have 0:32:54.320 --> 0:32:56.840 come to that And you know, the the the idea 0:32:56.880 --> 0:32:59.280 that we don't allow teachers arm themselves. I mean, this 0:32:59.320 --> 0:33:01.680 is more evidence of that to me. Instead of going 0:33:01.680 --> 0:33:02.840 we got to get rid of the gun that the 0:33:02.840 --> 0:33:04.440 problem is the guns. We get rid of the guns. We're 0:33:04.440 --> 0:33:05.959 not gonna do that. We've got too many and too 0:33:05.960 --> 0:33:10.360 many people that use them responsibly, that's the problem. And 0:33:10.400 --> 0:33:13.160 when they're irresponsible, I think sometimes we don't go far enough. 0:33:13.160 --> 0:33:14.719 And there's another case out there you may have heard 0:33:14.760 --> 0:33:17.600 today that involves an eleven year old kid from Pennsylvania 0:33:17.920 --> 0:33:20.640 who his dad took away his Nintendo switch, told him 0:33:20.640 --> 0:33:22.840 to go to bed, and the kid came in his 0:33:22.840 --> 0:33:25.680 bedroom and put a bullet in his head and. 0:33:25.680 --> 0:33:26.920 Go my god, that's horrible. 0:33:28.160 --> 0:33:29.920 I don't know if eleven year at that age were 0:33:29.920 --> 0:33:31.840 making good decisions and going I'm just mad at my 0:33:31.880 --> 0:33:33.760 dad instead of just you know, yelling at him or 0:33:33.880 --> 0:33:36.959 throwing a tantrum. I shot him. Fortunately, that's extremely rare, 0:33:37.000 --> 0:33:39.840 and that's why this made news. But how is how 0:33:39.880 --> 0:33:41.560 does an eleven year old kid have access to a 0:33:41.600 --> 0:33:44.560 weapon like that? You know, that's not the gun. That 0:33:44.680 --> 0:33:46.560 is a decision of a parent to leave it where 0:33:46.600 --> 0:33:49.480 an unloaded weapon or a loaded weapon is in grasp 0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:51.720 an eleven year old kid. I may teach an eleven 0:33:51.800 --> 0:33:54.080 year old kid the basics about hunting or target shooting, 0:33:54.120 --> 0:33:55.760 but I'm gonna let nothing them have free access to 0:33:55.800 --> 0:33:59.200 a gun. Sorry, So you know, don't cloud the argument 0:33:59.240 --> 0:34:00.960 with things like that. Got to get a news update 0:34:00.960 --> 0:34:02.560 when a return of the show Creek Stewardess here I 0:34:02.560 --> 0:34:04.880 mentioned we are experiencing the White Death is coming in 0:34:04.960 --> 0:34:07.280 six to ten twelve, we may get fourteen feet of snow. 0:34:08.360 --> 0:34:10.359 How do you navigate through all that stuff if indeed 0:34:10.440 --> 0:34:12.960 we have a natural disaster? I mentioned Andy Basheer, And 0:34:13.000 --> 0:34:14.800 if you live in Kentucky especially, maybe you want to 0:34:14.800 --> 0:34:16.480 look because we've got a streak down there. You may 0:34:16.520 --> 0:34:18.600 want to listen to this next segment coming up. He's 0:34:18.640 --> 0:34:22.920 with the Weather Channel and is a influencer in the 0:34:22.960 --> 0:34:25.200 realm of well survival. But I think it's more about 0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:27.399 just being prepared preparedness, let's call it that. Right after 0:34:27.440 --> 0:34:30.080 news update full fourcast seconds away on the Home of 0:34:30.080 --> 0:34:36.040 the Red seven hundred w WT Cincinnati, What is up, friend, 0:34:36.080 --> 0:34:40.399 Scott Slim Show, seven hundred w LW. As we get 0:34:40.440 --> 0:34:42.760 ready for you know what, the white death is coming? 0:34:44.160 --> 0:34:46.960 Driving in the driving this morning, completely clear by the way, 0:34:46.960 --> 0:34:49.520 and I saw people driving like there was snow on 0:34:49.600 --> 0:34:52.520 the ground already. I saw one person with their flashers on. 0:34:52.640 --> 0:34:55.320 Maybe they're having some sort of medical or auto emergency. 0:34:55.320 --> 0:34:57.919 I don't know, but that is preparing. I'm getting ready 0:34:57.960 --> 0:35:01.000 to drive like a knucklehead. The storm is going to 0:35:01.080 --> 0:35:05.760 be latest models, fry. I think there's like an American 0:35:05.760 --> 0:35:08.680 and European model on this one. I tend to like 0:35:08.719 --> 0:35:11.040 the American models a little bit, a little bit bustier. 0:35:11.400 --> 0:35:16.040 Wait what what so catch Mark is over nine is 0:35:16.080 --> 0:35:18.279 saying that like six to ten inches right now, and 0:35:18.680 --> 0:35:21.760 as we get closer to Saturday, which you're fairly closer 0:35:21.840 --> 0:35:24.080 right now inside that twenty four to thirty six hour window. 0:35:24.120 --> 0:35:26.360 You're pretty they're pretty dead on accurate know what's going 0:35:26.400 --> 0:35:28.399 to happen at this point. So we're expect in six 0:35:28.440 --> 0:35:31.040 to ten right now, and of course sub zero temperatures 0:35:31.040 --> 0:35:33.799 as well. It is a snow crisis. The white Death 0:35:33.880 --> 0:35:37.799 is here in Cincinnati. And when you roll home and 0:35:38.000 --> 0:35:40.319 Jim Cantore is set up on your front lawn, damn it. 0:35:40.360 --> 0:35:41.760 You know it's bad our old. 0:35:41.600 --> 0:35:44.080 Buddy Craig Stewart back on the show this morning from 0:35:44.120 --> 0:35:49.240 the aforementioned Weather Channel, and he's a preparedness influenced, revival influencer. 0:35:49.280 --> 0:35:50.560 Creek what do you know, Well. 0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:50.960 I'll tell you what. 0:35:51.160 --> 0:35:53.759 That sounds like an end of the world type. So 0:35:54.120 --> 0:35:57.279 it's always a good idea to carry an emergency kit 0:35:57.440 --> 0:36:01.360 in your car for a variety events in the Midwest. 0:36:01.440 --> 0:36:04.880 Snow is obviously a huge concern, huge here. Maybe not 0:36:04.960 --> 0:36:08.760 so much one inch, but it happened, and there are 0:36:08.960 --> 0:36:12.279 there are backups, and you know, we just saw where 0:36:12.400 --> 0:36:16.000 was it in Virginia? Yeah, High ninety five right, yeah, yeah, 0:36:16.440 --> 0:36:16.799 that was a. 0:36:16.719 --> 0:36:18.799 Couple of years ago. But still that's crazy though. 0:36:19.320 --> 0:36:19.920 Who would have. 0:36:19.840 --> 0:36:21.120 Thought that would have ever happened. 0:36:21.160 --> 0:36:24.239 So, but again, didn't they get like a couple of 0:36:24.280 --> 0:36:26.359 feet of snow ten inches of snow and it hit 0:36:26.480 --> 0:36:28.840 suddenly and it was like four or five inches an hour. 0:36:29.200 --> 0:36:30.719 I know in the Northeast, you know they got a 0:36:30.760 --> 0:36:33.200 couple of feet of snow in some spots maybe where 0:36:33.200 --> 0:36:35.719 you are. But you know, in Cincinnati, Ohio, we get 0:36:35.760 --> 0:36:37.879 like five six inches of snow. That's a huge weather 0:36:37.920 --> 0:36:39.680 event for us. And it's not like we live in 0:36:39.719 --> 0:36:43.719 Atlanta or Dallas or Memphis. In Cincinnati, we do get snow. 0:36:43.719 --> 0:36:45.920 We get several inches of snow a year. But but 0:36:46.040 --> 0:36:48.400 when we watched the people on TV doing live reports 0:36:48.400 --> 0:36:50.799 from the Salt Dome and talk about making sure you've 0:36:50.800 --> 0:36:53.960 got bottled water and snacks with you in a blanket, 0:36:54.080 --> 0:36:57.319 and make sure your cell phones charged, it's it's in 0:36:57.360 --> 0:36:59.719 They're forecasting maybe two inches of snow. It's a little 0:36:59.760 --> 0:37:03.440 bit daclobs. Don't people then tend to go, you know what, what, 0:37:03.520 --> 0:37:06.120 am I stupid? I don't need to bring bottled water 0:37:06.160 --> 0:37:08.080 and snacks with me if there's two inches of snow 0:37:08.080 --> 0:37:10.520 on the highway, if I'm traveling in the off country 0:37:10.640 --> 0:37:13.240 or I'm in Maysville, Kentucky on a roller road, maybe 0:37:13.280 --> 0:37:15.400 if they're getting seven inches of snow. But you know, 0:37:15.440 --> 0:37:18.080 in Cincinnati, inside the belt Wave, we're getting two inches. 0:37:18.200 --> 0:37:20.920 You're not gonna die and be stranded in two inches 0:37:20.920 --> 0:37:22.919 of snow. It's just it's not gonna happen. Or either 0:37:22.920 --> 0:37:24.840 that or the world's worst driver. And I think that 0:37:24.960 --> 0:37:26.799 Darwin is calling the herd if that's the case. 0:37:27.680 --> 0:37:28.680 Yeah, who knows. 0:37:28.760 --> 0:37:32.839 But regardless of how much snow might be coming, it's 0:37:32.960 --> 0:37:35.640 always a great idea to have an emergency kit in 0:37:35.680 --> 0:37:39.600 your car with some with some extra clothes, some walking 0:37:39.640 --> 0:37:42.800 shoes that may not be your work shoes, and some 0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:46.560 power bars, some snack bars, just really common sense type, 0:37:46.800 --> 0:37:50.480 just really common sense type stuff for a vehicle. Now, 0:37:50.600 --> 0:37:53.920 being being trapped in your house or for an uncertain 0:37:53.960 --> 0:37:56.680 amount of time, now that's a whole different conversation all 0:37:56.719 --> 0:38:01.160 together with an entirely unique set of UH preparedness steps 0:38:01.480 --> 0:38:08.280 from food to heating and water and ways to manage 0:38:08.280 --> 0:38:11.960 sanitation and everything. So, you know, being trapped in your 0:38:11.960 --> 0:38:14.160 car and being being stuck at home for a while 0:38:14.440 --> 0:38:16.440 are two certainly different circumstances. 0:38:17.000 --> 0:38:18.959 Yeah, so with a storm, we're going to have ice 0:38:19.000 --> 0:38:21.520 you're gonna have a little snow, and if you're out 0:38:21.560 --> 0:38:24.000 and your driving, maybe you get stuck. We've seen this before, though, 0:38:24.000 --> 0:38:25.960 people getting trapped in their cars. I think you mentioned 0:38:25.960 --> 0:38:28.959 that thing out in Virginia not long ago, where people 0:38:28.960 --> 0:38:31.160 are stuck in their car for ten fifteen hours at 0:38:31.160 --> 0:38:32.840 a time. I mean, you know, I look at the 0:38:32.840 --> 0:38:35.080 first ten hours as bonus time away from my wife, 0:38:35.760 --> 0:38:38.360 like a little vacation. After that, maybe I get a 0:38:38.400 --> 0:38:40.120 little bit bored. But you know, I figure I got 0:38:40.120 --> 0:38:42.200 my phone, I probably got a charger. Hopefully I got 0:38:42.239 --> 0:38:45.400 a full tank of gas. What's the strategy. Let's say 0:38:45.400 --> 0:38:47.800 you're stuck somewhere and you got a quarter tank of gas? 0:38:47.880 --> 0:38:49.759 What should you do? How do you preserve that? 0:38:49.800 --> 0:38:51.560 Because you got to worry about heat, but you also 0:38:51.600 --> 0:38:53.920 don't want to run a gas well. 0:38:53.640 --> 0:38:56.520 In cold weather environments. You definitely want to run that 0:38:56.840 --> 0:39:01.520 run that run that vehicle intermittently throughout the you know, 0:39:01.600 --> 0:39:03.880 throughout the time that you might be stuck, and that 0:39:04.080 --> 0:39:06.440 is probably when you would be tapping into some of 0:39:06.440 --> 0:39:09.000 those preps that you made in your vehicle ahead of time. 0:39:09.320 --> 0:39:12.080 And I can guarantee you one thing that every single 0:39:12.160 --> 0:39:16.080 person in stuff on that I ninety five situation. They 0:39:16.320 --> 0:39:19.680 all none of them ever thought in a million years 0:39:19.680 --> 0:39:22.440 that that would happen, but it did. And that's and 0:39:22.480 --> 0:39:24.440 that's the and that's the common theme that I think 0:39:24.520 --> 0:39:28.160 is the big takeaway is that you know, so oftentimes 0:39:28.280 --> 0:39:32.640 disasters strike to people who who never saw them coming. 0:39:32.719 --> 0:39:34.640 And the fact of the matter is is that they 0:39:34.640 --> 0:39:37.640 happen all the time to to people all over, in 0:39:37.800 --> 0:39:41.080 all walks of life, in every in every state, and 0:39:41.200 --> 0:39:44.160 every circumstance, and it's just it's just a reality in 0:39:44.200 --> 0:39:46.200 our lives these days. You can you know, I have 0:39:46.239 --> 0:39:48.400 a saying that it's not if, but when you're going 0:39:48.480 --> 0:39:51.480 to be faced with natural disaster one day, and and 0:39:51.560 --> 0:39:52.319 I believe. 0:39:52.040 --> 0:39:53.120 That to be true. 0:39:53.960 --> 0:39:56.080 Kreik Stewards on the show Creek is with the Weather 0:39:56.160 --> 0:39:58.680 Channel and the author of the disaster Ready Home, a 0:39:58.680 --> 0:40:01.200 step by step emergency for pared orniessmantle for sheltering in 0:40:01.239 --> 0:40:03.440 place now generally in the Midwest. That's why I love 0:40:03.480 --> 0:40:06.040 living in Cincinnati. When we talk about maybe weather events, 0:40:06.080 --> 0:40:08.080 the biggest thing we got to worry about is an 0:40:08.080 --> 0:40:10.400 inch or two of snow, but mainly tornadoes. 0:40:11.360 --> 0:40:12.440 There's really not you can do. 0:40:12.520 --> 0:40:15.719 You know, we talk about hurricane disaster preparedness or you know, 0:40:15.800 --> 0:40:18.560 living off the grid or something like that. Those aren't 0:40:18.560 --> 0:40:20.880 your wildfires, man. But you know, in the event of 0:40:20.920 --> 0:40:23.160 a tornado, there's not a lot you can There's nothing 0:40:23.200 --> 0:40:24.680 you can do to prepare a head for that, can you, 0:40:24.680 --> 0:40:26.640 Because if you get your house gets hit by a tornado, 0:40:27.040 --> 0:40:28.840 that kit that you made is probably gone. 0:40:30.160 --> 0:40:32.799 Yeah, you're right as far as the tornado goes. And 0:40:32.840 --> 0:40:35.200 that and that would be a circumstance where you'd really 0:40:35.239 --> 0:40:37.640 be leaning in on what's called a bug out bag, 0:40:38.120 --> 0:40:41.200 which is a seventy two hour disaster survival kit that 0:40:41.239 --> 0:40:44.440 you would grab in the event of an evacuation. And 0:40:44.760 --> 0:40:47.799 people use bug out bags and disaster survival kits all 0:40:47.840 --> 0:40:50.680 the time when they have to evacuate. And so we 0:40:50.719 --> 0:40:52.919 think about the same type of supplies in a bug 0:40:52.920 --> 0:40:55.759 out bag that we might have in our home, but 0:40:55.920 --> 0:40:58.360 only on a smaller scale. So we want to be 0:40:58.440 --> 0:41:03.360 able to last for three days if we absolutely had to. 0:41:03.600 --> 0:41:06.640 So we want all the food, water, and tools and 0:41:06.680 --> 0:41:11.759 supplies and important paperwork, especially in tornado territory, you want 0:41:11.760 --> 0:41:15.680 to make sure that you've got your important papers especially 0:41:16.040 --> 0:41:18.200 ready to grab to put into your bug out bag, 0:41:18.280 --> 0:41:21.239 because if something does happen to your home, whether it's 0:41:21.239 --> 0:41:24.520 a wildfire or a tornado, and you lose all of 0:41:24.560 --> 0:41:29.759 those important documents, it becomes exponentially more difficult to. 0:41:29.719 --> 0:41:31.000 Put your life back together. 0:41:31.080 --> 0:41:35.600 Interesting, So just that one step alone, grabbing those important 0:41:35.640 --> 0:41:38.440 documents and stuffing them into your bug out bag last 0:41:38.440 --> 0:41:41.680 minute in the event of an evacuation, can make a 0:41:41.920 --> 0:41:44.600 huge difference in your life should. 0:41:44.440 --> 0:41:45.320 Something like that happen. 0:41:45.680 --> 0:41:46.439 Yeah, it makes sense. 0:41:46.760 --> 0:41:50.200 Cash probably that medics whatever, you know, your prescriptions, that 0:41:50.280 --> 0:41:50.800 kind of stuff. 0:41:51.600 --> 0:41:52.600 But most people don't think that. 0:41:52.760 --> 0:41:55.080 I remember right after nine to eleven, that was the 0:41:55.120 --> 0:41:59.320 fear that you know, people were hoarding things like plastic 0:41:59.320 --> 0:42:02.560 sheeting and tape and having a safe room and getting 0:42:02.560 --> 0:42:04.480 their bug out bag, writing all this stuff, and then 0:42:04.520 --> 0:42:06.440 we kind of lost interest because we never think it's 0:42:06.480 --> 0:42:06.959 going to happen. 0:42:07.880 --> 0:42:10.320 Yeah, well, I mean I think I think that's a 0:42:10.400 --> 0:42:13.240 common that's a common mentality with you know, most people 0:42:13.239 --> 0:42:15.759 who experience a disaster is you know, it's never going 0:42:15.800 --> 0:42:18.440 to happen to me, but but it does, you know, 0:42:18.760 --> 0:42:20.960 it does. It's just it's the reality. And when I 0:42:21.000 --> 0:42:23.600 talk about disaster, Scott, you know, I'm talking about the 0:42:23.600 --> 0:42:26.480 ones that actually happened on a regular basis. You know, 0:42:27.080 --> 0:42:30.160 I'm not talking about Yellowstone explosion or an alien in 0:42:30.200 --> 0:42:32.919 baigion or anything like that. You know, I'm talking about 0:42:32.960 --> 0:42:33.520 the real. 0:42:33.400 --> 0:42:35.640 Stuff that happened, which is which is why I'm having 0:42:35.640 --> 0:42:37.759 you on Creek Stewart because you know, I mean, it's 0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:40.120 not like, you know, you're a you know, end of 0:42:40.120 --> 0:42:42.920 the world apocalyptic survivalist kind of guy. Right where you're 0:42:43.000 --> 0:42:46.799 you're preparing for armageddon, nuclear winter. You know, the kind 0:42:46.800 --> 0:42:49.319 of people that listen to Bill cunningham Sunday Night Show 0:42:49.320 --> 0:42:52.160 here on seven hundred WRW, or they're buying pounds of 0:42:52.200 --> 0:42:54.839 gold and fifty five gallon drums of freeze dried line 0:42:54.880 --> 0:42:57.560 of beans for the for the apocalypse because they want 0:42:57.600 --> 0:42:59.279 to survive the apocalypse. And then you look at the 0:42:59.280 --> 0:43:00.880 people who do that and I go, I don't know 0:43:00.960 --> 0:43:03.320 if you're you're gonna be a good representation of breeding 0:43:03.480 --> 0:43:05.120 in the kind of people. I'm just going to die 0:43:05.239 --> 0:43:06.840 when it when it comes. I don't really care too 0:43:06.920 --> 0:43:09.120 much about fifty five gallon drums. If I'm gonna eat, 0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:10.960 if I'm going to need nothing but a diet of 0:43:11.320 --> 0:43:15.160 purified water and line of beans and sitting on piles 0:43:15.160 --> 0:43:17.759 of gold. Uh, so that I can emerge like a 0:43:18.120 --> 0:43:20.160 like a cockroach from the end times. I don't know 0:43:20.200 --> 0:43:22.359 if I want to be the person replicating society. I'll 0:43:22.400 --> 0:43:23.759 be honest with you. I don't think I want to 0:43:23.760 --> 0:43:25.239 live through that. I'm good to check out. 0:43:26.480 --> 0:43:30.759 Yeah, So it's definitely a lot more practical approach to 0:43:30.760 --> 0:43:34.279 to think about the disasters that actually happen and and 0:43:34.400 --> 0:43:37.880 some of those disasters do keep us inside for at 0:43:37.960 --> 0:43:40.960 least a short period of time, and being prepared, being 0:43:41.000 --> 0:43:45.240 prepared to deal with those circumstances from food and water 0:43:45.400 --> 0:43:49.279 and heating and you know, off grid cooking and uh, 0:43:49.480 --> 0:43:52.360 dealing with human waste for at least a short period 0:43:52.360 --> 0:43:55.440 of time a few days, possibly even a few weeks. 0:43:55.760 --> 0:43:59.120 I mean this day and age, having those pressed in 0:43:59.200 --> 0:44:02.840 place is no longer a conversation that he had in 0:44:02.880 --> 0:44:06.640 the basement amongst preppers, I mean, especially since this whole 0:44:06.680 --> 0:44:09.839 pandemic popped off the past couple of years. You know, 0:44:09.920 --> 0:44:12.600 this is a conversation that you know, you're really average 0:44:12.640 --> 0:44:15.080 person is having, Like it made a lot of people 0:44:15.200 --> 0:44:18.200 really think about, you know, do I have the things 0:44:18.200 --> 0:44:19.960 at home that I need at home. 0:44:20.440 --> 0:44:21.359 Should I have to. 0:44:21.560 --> 0:44:23.640 You know, thin for myself for a while. 0:44:24.400 --> 0:44:24.800 Yeah. 0:44:24.880 --> 0:44:26.719 Yeah, I think you bring up an interesting point too, 0:44:26.760 --> 0:44:29.919 because you talk about, you know, you need you need air, 0:44:30.000 --> 0:44:32.759 you need heat, you need water, you all these things. 0:44:32.760 --> 0:44:34.520 You need food and then you're good. 0:44:34.920 --> 0:44:36.960 No one ever, when they're hunkered down in their end 0:44:36.960 --> 0:44:39.359 of the world bunker creek Stewart, I've never seen them 0:44:39.360 --> 0:44:42.279 worry about the biggest problem with that, and that is 0:44:42.360 --> 0:44:44.919 human waste. Dealing with the human waste problem right there, 0:44:44.960 --> 0:44:47.399 because I think you'll agree with me. You can only 0:44:47.400 --> 0:44:50.360 hold it for so long, you know, I mean, And 0:44:50.400 --> 0:44:52.400 I think by the way you talk about muscle building 0:44:52.440 --> 0:44:53.680 this time of year, I'm gonna get on a plan, 0:44:53.760 --> 0:44:56.480 go to the gym, workout, build my biceps, triceps, lats, 0:44:57.440 --> 0:44:59.560 all those things. I think the sphincter is the most 0:44:59.600 --> 0:45:00.920 underrated muscle the whole body. 0:45:01.920 --> 0:45:02.520 Yeah, there you go. 0:45:02.560 --> 0:45:04.640 Well, let me solve that problem for you once and 0:45:04.680 --> 0:45:08.360 for all. It's going to cost you about twenty bucks. Okay, 0:45:08.400 --> 0:45:10.239 You're going to go to your local hardware store and 0:45:10.239 --> 0:45:13.640 grab a five gallon bucket, and then on Amazon you're 0:45:13.640 --> 0:45:16.760 going to order a snap on five gallon bucket toilet 0:45:16.800 --> 0:45:19.320 seats for about fifteen dollars, and then you're going to 0:45:19.360 --> 0:45:21.720 go to your local hardware store, your local wood shop, 0:45:21.760 --> 0:45:25.879 and after the leftover saw dust four in about one 0:45:25.920 --> 0:45:27.960 inch of saw dust in the bottom of that bucket, 0:45:28.160 --> 0:45:30.480 go number one and number two right on top, and 0:45:30.480 --> 0:45:33.440 when you're done, cover it back up with sawdust about 0:45:33.440 --> 0:45:36.400 another inch or so, and that bucket's going to slowly 0:45:36.520 --> 0:45:38.560 filled up, and once it gets to the top, you 0:45:38.719 --> 0:45:41.000 just put a solid lid on top, slide it over 0:45:41.040 --> 0:45:42.640 in the corner of your shed or your yard, and 0:45:42.719 --> 0:45:44.640 in a couple of months that is going to be 0:45:44.880 --> 0:45:46.480 one hundred percent composted. 0:45:46.600 --> 0:45:47.160 Humaneure. 0:45:47.920 --> 0:45:53.240 That simple solution right there can safely contain and deal 0:45:53.280 --> 0:45:58.480 with humid waste that otherwise could potentially be a very 0:45:58.600 --> 0:46:01.560 dangerous scenario if you're trapped at home for an uncertain 0:46:01.560 --> 0:46:02.320 period of time. 0:46:02.360 --> 0:46:04.640 Even with the sawdust an inch or to of sawdust 0:46:04.719 --> 0:46:07.120 on top of your number one and number two, are 0:46:07.120 --> 0:46:09.960 there unpleasant odors that arise even if the uplid is 0:46:10.000 --> 0:46:11.759 locked down. Un Let's say, next time you go, does 0:46:11.800 --> 0:46:13.200 it smell like sawdust or worse? 0:46:14.080 --> 0:46:14.480 It is? 0:46:14.640 --> 0:46:18.680 It is shocking how the sawdust will trap any of 0:46:18.719 --> 0:46:23.000 those odors inside. It is not a disgusting operation. It 0:46:23.120 --> 0:46:28.920 is not stinky. It is surprisingly clean and effective. Composting 0:46:28.920 --> 0:46:32.280 toilets have been used for gezo I mean hunt thousands 0:46:32.320 --> 0:46:35.640 of years a different parts of the world, and quite frankly, 0:46:35.680 --> 0:46:37.839 you'll probably wonder why in the world did we move 0:46:37.880 --> 0:46:39.160 the flush toilet to begin with. 0:46:39.320 --> 0:46:41.320 That's a good I mean, that's a that's an interesting premise. 0:46:41.360 --> 0:46:44.040 However, the problem with that, though, is you know you 0:46:44.040 --> 0:46:45.400 could do it every once in a while. Now I 0:46:45.440 --> 0:46:47.840 have a wood shop and I do, and I know 0:46:47.880 --> 0:46:50.400 what you're talking about with the sawdust, because when you know, 0:46:50.440 --> 0:46:52.759 the first thing you learn in first grade, when you know, 0:46:52.960 --> 0:46:55.399 I don't know when when a little bosifis yacts up 0:46:55.920 --> 0:46:58.319 your spoiled milk that he drank on a dare and 0:46:58.360 --> 0:47:00.960 if the janitor comes and thrust through sawdust on it, 0:47:01.000 --> 0:47:02.719 and it like takes care of everything the smell, I 0:47:02.800 --> 0:47:04.880 wipe it up. Everything is good. The fact of the 0:47:04.920 --> 0:47:07.239 matter is that the five gallon bucket, though, is too 0:47:07.239 --> 0:47:09.399 low to the ground for people of a certain age 0:47:09.400 --> 0:47:10.919 to be able to get down and get back up again. 0:47:10.960 --> 0:47:12.840 We need taller five gallon buckets, don't. 0:47:12.680 --> 0:47:15.319 You think, Yeah, well, you know what, I've got a 0:47:15.320 --> 0:47:17.680 solution for that too. They make those kind of bold 0:47:17.680 --> 0:47:21.560 out potty chairs nice and you can actually just fold. 0:47:21.280 --> 0:47:23.920 One of those five gallon bucket. 0:47:24.160 --> 0:47:26.279 It's gonna you know, it's gonna be a it's gonna 0:47:26.280 --> 0:47:28.680 break the bank for about forty five dollars instead of 0:47:28.719 --> 0:47:29.520 twenty not bad. 0:47:29.760 --> 0:47:31.719 How much food and water you should you should the 0:47:31.760 --> 0:47:33.960 average I'm not talking here in Cincinnati, OHI. I'm not 0:47:34.000 --> 0:47:37.520 talking about some god forsaken place like uh, Sri Lanka 0:47:37.920 --> 0:47:41.680 or the plains of Africa or Pittsburgh. I'm in Cincinnati, Ohio, 0:47:41.760 --> 0:47:44.360 Creek Stewart, so, uh, you know this isn't in the 0:47:44.360 --> 0:47:47.760 far off regions. I got I have stuff accessible. That said, 0:47:48.040 --> 0:47:51.080 how much stuff do I need to have around just 0:47:51.120 --> 0:47:54.280 in case? I mean, so, we got significant amount of snow, 0:47:54.320 --> 0:47:57.600 we got ice, we got some zero temperatures. That's all 0:47:57.600 --> 0:47:59.799 in play. But what do I need like a day's 0:47:59.800 --> 0:48:02.239 where of stuff? Yeah, I already bought all the milk 0:48:02.239 --> 0:48:03.080 and Branda Kroger. 0:48:03.160 --> 0:48:05.000 So well, it's a great question. 0:48:05.120 --> 0:48:08.840 So FEMA recommends two weeks, and I believe that's an 0:48:08.920 --> 0:48:12.319 absolute bare minimum of two weeks worth of food. So 0:48:12.360 --> 0:48:15.560 there's a popular phrase that America is about nine meals 0:48:15.600 --> 0:48:18.799 away from anarchy, and what that means is that your 0:48:18.840 --> 0:48:23.279 average American has about nine meals worth of food in 0:48:23.440 --> 0:48:27.040 their home right now, and it's just not enough. So 0:48:27.280 --> 0:48:31.080 two weeks absolute minimum. I'd like to see most people 0:48:31.239 --> 0:48:34.520 be prepared with around a month's worth of backup food 0:48:34.560 --> 0:48:38.440 and water. And I can give you some really great 0:48:38.520 --> 0:48:41.520 pointers for getting there where you don't have to change 0:48:41.520 --> 0:48:46.160 your lifestyle. It's very simple and really really easy on 0:48:46.200 --> 0:48:46.640 the budget. 0:48:46.719 --> 0:48:48.360 All right, So real quick, how do you do? What 0:48:48.400 --> 0:48:49.080 are you talking about? 0:48:49.640 --> 0:48:50.000 Okay? 0:48:50.040 --> 0:48:52.279 So with the food department, you make a list of 0:48:52.320 --> 0:48:55.440 your top twenty the top ten or twenty items that 0:48:55.480 --> 0:48:58.160 you eat all the time, okay, and you want to 0:48:58.200 --> 0:49:00.400 make sure these items have a shelf life of about 0:49:00.480 --> 0:49:02.760 one to three years. So we're looking at the items 0:49:02.760 --> 0:49:06.239 on the inner aisles of grocery stores. So can goods, 0:49:05.760 --> 0:49:10.759 dried pastas, box meals. And when you get that lift, 0:49:11.000 --> 0:49:14.120 you want to on your next trip to the grocery store, 0:49:14.239 --> 0:49:16.719 you want to buy a few extra items of those 0:49:16.719 --> 0:49:18.719 items on that lift, and you want to do that 0:49:18.880 --> 0:49:21.360 every time you go to the grocery store. And so 0:49:22.000 --> 0:49:24.040 over the course of five or six trips to the 0:49:24.040 --> 0:49:27.319 grocery store, you are beginning to build what we call 0:49:27.440 --> 0:49:30.200 long term food storage pantry. It's going to put those 0:49:30.200 --> 0:49:32.560 items in a closet or on a shelf in the basement, 0:49:32.880 --> 0:49:35.399 or in an extra room, and as you run out 0:49:35.440 --> 0:49:37.640 of them in the kitchen, because you know you already 0:49:37.640 --> 0:49:39.319 eat them, you're going to just. 0:49:39.360 --> 0:49:39.960 Pull those in. 0:49:40.280 --> 0:49:44.280 It's called rotation. Rotation from our long term food storage pantry, 0:49:44.800 --> 0:49:48.840 and that's the easiest way to build up two weeks, 0:49:48.840 --> 0:49:51.360 three weeks, one month worth of food that you know 0:49:51.400 --> 0:49:52.000 you're gonna eat. 0:49:52.120 --> 0:49:54.399 Pretty easy. Yeah, you just rotate it down. New stock 0:49:54.440 --> 0:49:56.160 goes to the basement and in the front of the 0:49:56.200 --> 0:49:57.399 line goes upstairs. 0:49:58.200 --> 0:49:59.400 Right, yeah, okay, I got it. 0:49:59.440 --> 0:50:03.200 Got and you you eat, you buy it, you store 0:50:03.280 --> 0:50:05.920 what you eat, and you eat what you store. Versus 0:50:06.200 --> 0:50:08.760 this idea of going to the grocery store and stocking 0:50:08.880 --> 0:50:11.839 up on something because it's on sale, and then you 0:50:11.880 --> 0:50:13.920 just end up with a big shelf full of limejello 0:50:14.080 --> 0:50:14.879 that is just. 0:50:14.760 --> 0:50:15.319 Gonna go away. 0:50:15.480 --> 0:50:15.719 Yeah. 0:50:15.960 --> 0:50:17.360 What about water? What about drinking? 0:50:17.400 --> 0:50:19.680 I mean, you got enough if you had to, you 0:50:19.719 --> 0:50:21.799 can drink water from the tank, not the bowl, but 0:50:21.880 --> 0:50:24.640 the tank of your toilet, there's a couple of gallons there, 0:50:24.680 --> 0:50:27.319 depending on how many toilets you have, plus the pipes in 0:50:27.320 --> 0:50:28.920 the house another maybe five gallons. 0:50:29.000 --> 0:50:30.640 So you got more water than you think. 0:50:31.520 --> 0:50:34.520 Yeah, that's right, But we want we want a real 0:50:34.600 --> 0:50:38.120 plan in place. So the first thing people need to 0:50:38.200 --> 0:50:41.320 understand is that the average American uses over eighty gallons 0:50:41.360 --> 0:50:45.239 of water per day. Okay, that's a lot of We 0:50:45.280 --> 0:50:48.400 are very dependent on water in all facets of our lives. 0:50:48.480 --> 0:50:50.000 So the very. 0:50:49.960 --> 0:50:51.760 Minimum that you want to be able to get away 0:50:51.760 --> 0:50:54.439 with is two gallons of water per person per day, 0:50:55.040 --> 0:50:57.680 and you want to have that in fresh storage, whether 0:50:57.680 --> 0:51:01.759 it's bottled water or gall judge, you want to have 0:51:01.800 --> 0:51:04.440 two gallons per person per day to get you through 0:51:04.480 --> 0:51:08.839 about two weeks. Okay, it's a little unrealistic for most 0:51:08.920 --> 0:51:12.640 people to store more water than that. Okay, if you 0:51:12.800 --> 0:51:15.000 buy the water at a grocery store, it's going to 0:51:15.040 --> 0:51:17.120 have a shelf life of up to five years, so 0:51:17.160 --> 0:51:19.279 you don't have to worry about it going bad anytime soon. 0:51:19.400 --> 0:51:21.120 Just put it away and forget about it, just. 0:51:21.080 --> 0:51:22.279 In case you ever use it. 0:51:23.080 --> 0:51:26.280 But on top of fresh water storage, so that's super simple. 0:51:26.320 --> 0:51:27.200 Anybody can do that. 0:51:28.160 --> 0:51:30.520 On top of fresh water storage, you want to have 0:51:30.560 --> 0:51:33.520 a filter in place. The one I recommend is called 0:51:33.520 --> 0:51:37.239 a big burkie. It is a gravity fed filter that 0:51:37.280 --> 0:51:39.919 will solve all of the problems you could ever think 0:51:39.960 --> 0:51:44.360 of when it comes to bad things in water. Bacteria, 0:51:44.440 --> 0:51:49.200 protozoon syss viruses, chlorine, plastics, you know anything. You can 0:51:49.280 --> 0:51:51.960 imagine the thin water you're that big burkey's going to 0:51:52.000 --> 0:51:54.520 filter it out. And so if you have a filter, 0:51:55.040 --> 0:51:56.640 then there's a lot of water down there. 0:51:57.040 --> 0:52:01.280 Yeah. Yeah, there's all kinds of stuff. 0:52:01.719 --> 0:52:03.439 I mean, heck, you could go to the Ohio River 0:52:03.520 --> 0:52:06.360 and pour it into your big burkey and it would 0:52:06.400 --> 0:52:09.720 be totally clean to drink coming out the other side. 0:52:09.800 --> 0:52:14.319 So investing in a filter not only for daily use. 0:52:14.400 --> 0:52:16.400 I mean heck, you'd be shocked if you knew what 0:52:16.480 --> 0:52:16.919 was in your. 0:52:17.400 --> 0:52:18.279 Oh I believe it. 0:52:18.360 --> 0:52:20.719 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know a lot of people use 0:52:20.840 --> 0:52:22.439 the Brita filter even though we got city water. 0:52:22.440 --> 0:52:22.480 So. 0:52:22.600 --> 0:52:24.799 Kreik Stewart is on the Weather Channels a host. It's 0:52:24.840 --> 0:52:28.400 been on many shows too as well, obviously, and has 0:52:28.400 --> 0:52:30.000 a book called The Disaster Ready Home, a step by 0:52:30.040 --> 0:52:33.240 step emergency preparedness Manual for sheltering in place. This conversation 0:52:33.320 --> 0:52:36.279 began with when the forecasters give you the one inch 0:52:36.360 --> 0:52:38.400 of snow and tell you to have an emergency blanket 0:52:38.400 --> 0:52:40.359 and food and water in your car and first aid 0:52:40.440 --> 0:52:42.840 kid and a fire starter kit with an axe and 0:52:42.920 --> 0:52:45.040 a gun in case that inch of snow and you're 0:52:45.080 --> 0:52:49.280 stuck on it all off of Rybolt Road. You're seventy 0:52:49.280 --> 0:52:52.400 four something like that, and acting as if you're driving 0:52:52.440 --> 0:52:54.680 through the wilderness like it's a Jeep commercial or something 0:52:54.719 --> 0:52:56.719 like that. You know, chances are you don't need a 0:52:56.760 --> 0:52:59.759 gun and a survival kit, but again, fore warned is 0:52:59.800 --> 0:53:01.680 four arm Creek All the best, good luck with the book. 0:53:01.680 --> 0:53:03.040 Thanks for coming on the show. I appreciate you. 0:53:03.520 --> 0:53:04.239 Hey, thanks s good. 0:53:04.280 --> 0:53:05.400 Appreciate the opportunity. 0:53:05.440 --> 0:53:06.040 Man right. 0:53:06.080 --> 0:53:08.759 I always love having you back on specially Jerseys weather 0:53:08.800 --> 0:53:10.520 events like this. Now you're not getting an inch of snow, 0:53:10.520 --> 0:53:13.040 We're getting what's maybe six to twelve, who knows six 0:53:13.080 --> 0:53:16.200 to ten? Anyway, good news. This happens on a weekend, 0:53:16.239 --> 0:53:17.759 so chance of being stuck in your car on the 0:53:17.800 --> 0:53:19.120 side of the road. I was looking it up as 0:53:19.120 --> 0:53:21.000 he was finishing there, because I couldn't remember a year 0:53:21.040 --> 0:53:22.839 it was. We were talking about the I ninety five thing 0:53:22.880 --> 0:53:26.160 that was in Virgil Fredericksburg, virgin in January twenty twenty two. 0:53:27.480 --> 0:53:29.279 So four years ago I fellt like two years ago. 0:53:29.520 --> 0:53:32.439 People are stuck there for like thirty hours because they've 0:53:32.480 --> 0:53:35.839 got snow seven to fourteen inches and it came down 0:53:35.880 --> 0:53:37.399 a lot harder and a lot faster than they thought 0:53:37.400 --> 0:53:39.480 it did, so a lot of people were stuck. And 0:53:39.560 --> 0:53:41.880 I remember growing up in western New York when the 0:53:42.040 --> 0:53:44.480 big blizzard hit in seventy seven, people were actually died 0:53:44.480 --> 0:53:46.560 in their cars. So not that we're expecting that here 0:53:46.600 --> 0:53:48.839 because I know we've got a lot more information and 0:53:49.320 --> 0:53:52.120 also contacting people is a lot easier today than it 0:53:52.160 --> 0:53:55.040 was then. But nonetheless, just some information to keeping the 0:53:55.080 --> 0:53:56.880 back of your head, hopefully you never have to use 0:53:56.920 --> 0:54:00.680 it anyway. Full forecast update is looking more like reality here. 0:54:00.719 --> 0:54:03.120 This big storm we're going to get starting on Saturday. 0:54:03.480 --> 0:54:06.640 All that and more just ahead on seven hundred wls 0:54:06.640 --> 0:54:07.239 golbody here. 0:54:07.160 --> 0:54:08.680 On seven hundred wl W. 0:54:08.880 --> 0:54:10.960 Boy, if there's a weekend you ever gonna need more calories, 0:54:11.000 --> 0:54:12.440 it's going to be this one, because you go be 0:54:12.480 --> 0:54:13.560 out shoveling. 0:54:13.160 --> 0:54:14.200 A little bit, a little bit. 0:54:14.920 --> 0:54:19.000 Every Thursday morning we bring in son Jay Shavacrimani, eer 0:54:19.080 --> 0:54:21.960 physician but also an expert in fitness and health, and 0:54:22.320 --> 0:54:24.439 he's our guy we talked to every Thursday about those things. 0:54:24.440 --> 0:54:26.120 Good morning, how are you. It's been a minute. How's 0:54:26.160 --> 0:54:28.440 your vacation. Vacation was good, Sloan. 0:54:28.480 --> 0:54:31.759 It was ninety degrees every day over in Vietnam, and 0:54:31.800 --> 0:54:33.960 you know, pretty much the same here. So I was 0:54:34.280 --> 0:54:35.879 working on my shoveling skills over there. 0:54:36.120 --> 0:54:38.880 I bet you were ninety degrees. It's really it's pretty 0:54:38.880 --> 0:54:40.839 hot over That's a bucket. Let's kind of play were 0:54:40.840 --> 0:54:41.200 you there? 0:54:41.600 --> 0:54:41.799 Now? 0:54:42.400 --> 0:54:46.040 I'm watching this mini series that Ken Burns thing catching up, 0:54:46.080 --> 0:54:48.919 but I'm halfway through it on the Vietnam War. Don't 0:54:48.920 --> 0:54:51.800 tell me how that ends, because right now it seems 0:54:51.800 --> 0:54:54.239 like it's going okay because the generals are saying Wes 0:54:54.280 --> 0:54:56.960 Moreland says everything's good. So don't don't don't ruin it 0:54:57.000 --> 0:54:59.760 for me. Let's jump into this this morning on the show. 0:55:00.080 --> 0:55:03.879 And we have new federal dietary guidelines coming out from 0:55:03.880 --> 0:55:06.960 our FK Junior that bumps protein up to the top 0:55:06.960 --> 0:55:10.040 of the list. And we also have full fat milk 0:55:10.160 --> 0:55:12.080 coming back to schools, and we got rid of full 0:55:12.120 --> 0:55:14.480 fat milk. And of course the I guess the anti 0:55:14.520 --> 0:55:17.359 Trump crowd and everything's political these days, even food now 0:55:17.360 --> 0:55:19.880 of all things are angry as we're gonna you know, 0:55:19.880 --> 0:55:22.719 we're gonna kill more Americans. But I don't know if 0:55:22.760 --> 0:55:24.960 I totally agree with that thing. Let's let's start. Let's 0:55:24.960 --> 0:55:26.440 start with the milk thing before I look at the 0:55:26.440 --> 0:55:29.040 whole pyramid, because that is the latest information we have 0:55:29.120 --> 0:55:29.560 out here. 0:55:29.880 --> 0:55:31.040 So whole milk is back. 0:55:31.080 --> 0:55:34.040 New guide, dietary guidelines for the next five years four 0:55:34.120 --> 0:55:37.200 years anyway, recommend full three servings of full fat every 0:55:37.400 --> 0:55:40.840 day and they're going to serve whole and two percent 0:55:40.920 --> 0:55:41.560 milk at school. 0:55:41.600 --> 0:55:41.799 Again. 0:55:41.840 --> 0:55:44.759 That reverses the Obama area low fat restrictions, which is 0:55:44.800 --> 0:55:46.600 like learning more about fat. Fat used to be the 0:55:46.840 --> 0:55:49.520 worst thing ever, right, And remember when like snack Whales 0:55:49.560 --> 0:55:51.839 came out, I was like fat free, everything's fat free, 0:55:51.880 --> 0:55:54.440 but they just loaded up with sugar. So it's your 0:55:54.440 --> 0:55:56.320 training one bad thing for another exactly. 0:55:56.360 --> 0:55:58.919 And that's that's what a lot of the research has 0:55:59.120 --> 0:56:03.000 looked at is you know, it's not just eliminating one thing, 0:56:03.320 --> 0:56:05.719 it's what you do to replace it. And so a 0:56:05.719 --> 0:56:08.960 lot of the effects that we're seeing are negative by 0:56:09.120 --> 0:56:11.480 by reducing fat. I mean, certainly there's a lot of 0:56:11.480 --> 0:56:14.399 benefit to it, but it all depends on what you're 0:56:14.400 --> 0:56:15.120 substituting with. 0:56:15.440 --> 0:56:18.799 Right, There's been what is the benefit of the fat? 0:56:18.840 --> 0:56:20.759 I think for one? For me anyway, it seems like 0:56:20.840 --> 0:56:21.960 it's sat shade, it's satisfied. 0:56:22.640 --> 0:56:24.319 That's a huge say it, right, I mean, you know, 0:56:24.480 --> 0:56:26.960 there there are a ton if we're just going to 0:56:27.040 --> 0:56:30.359 talk about eating. Yeah, I mean, if you're if you're 0:56:30.400 --> 0:56:32.719 drinking skim milk, it's I don't enjoy it? 0:56:32.760 --> 0:56:32.960 Do you? 0:56:33.080 --> 0:56:36.120 Do you like skim You know? I'm I'm a two 0:56:36.160 --> 0:56:36.680 percent guy. 0:56:36.800 --> 0:56:39.760 Same And the thing about skim milk is it's like water, 0:56:39.920 --> 0:56:42.680 and after I drink it, I'm like, I still need 0:56:42.719 --> 0:56:45.960 something substantial, So I probably eat some snacks after it too. 0:56:46.120 --> 0:56:46.239 Ye. 0:56:46.640 --> 0:56:49.319 The nice thing about you know, the higher percentage fat 0:56:49.400 --> 0:56:52.040 milks is that you don't have to eat something afterwards. 0:56:52.080 --> 0:56:54.359 You may be more satiated, you may be more full, right, 0:56:54.360 --> 0:56:57.040 and so you're not kind of taking more calories in 0:56:57.160 --> 0:56:57.600 after that. 0:56:58.440 --> 0:56:59.840 That's one big thing, right. 0:56:59.760 --> 0:57:02.240 Right, And there's a sense to that too. It it's somebod. 0:57:02.320 --> 0:57:03.960 The whole milk, it just tastes better. I remember one 0:57:04.040 --> 0:57:08.000 time we were I was backpacking, right, and we got done, 0:57:08.160 --> 0:57:09.719 like the only thing they had was whole milk in 0:57:09.760 --> 0:57:11.560 the cafeteria, and I crushed like five. 0:57:11.719 --> 0:57:13.279 It was like the best tasting milk ever. 0:57:14.400 --> 0:57:14.600 Yeah. 0:57:14.719 --> 0:57:16.560 Right, it's just like something about whole milk. But you 0:57:16.560 --> 0:57:18.840 don't need a lot of it. It's it's it's so 0:57:19.040 --> 0:57:21.760 rich and satisfies you your your taste, Budge, there's a 0:57:21.800 --> 0:57:23.680 trigger inside he says, Okay, you're good on the fat 0:57:23.720 --> 0:57:24.080 and the milk. 0:57:24.120 --> 0:57:25.680 That's all you need. Need a little bit. You don't 0:57:25.720 --> 0:57:26.840 need a half gallon. 0:57:26.680 --> 0:57:28.800 No, you don't. And and the thing is, it's to 0:57:28.840 --> 0:57:32.160 your point. It tastes good. And milk consumption's actually gone 0:57:32.240 --> 0:57:34.960 down markedly in the last fifty years, so like since 0:57:35.000 --> 0:57:38.080 the seventies, it's gone down like fifty percent as far 0:57:38.120 --> 0:57:40.440 as people drinking. It's probably because we've switched to lower 0:57:40.480 --> 0:57:43.680 fat and you know, health concerns for sure, but there 0:57:43.720 --> 0:57:46.240 is definitely a decrease in milk consumption since all the 0:57:46.240 --> 0:57:47.120 warning started coming out. 0:57:47.160 --> 0:57:48.800 Yeah, and sign you on top of that, I think 0:57:48.840 --> 0:57:51.400 back to eggs, right, egg o, tony, Oh, cholesterol, And 0:57:51.440 --> 0:57:52.760 now we're like, well eat eggs. 0:57:52.920 --> 0:57:56.880 Well yeah, and that's the it's cholesterol one for you, right, 0:57:57.120 --> 0:57:58.160 it is good for you. 0:57:58.160 --> 0:57:58.680 You need some. 0:57:58.760 --> 0:58:01.720 I mean, everything's good in modern but it's just like 0:58:01.800 --> 0:58:03.760 everything else, we keep learning more and more. And I'll 0:58:03.800 --> 0:58:05.440 tell you when I was going through med school, it 0:58:05.520 --> 0:58:09.160 was saturated fats are the devil, you know, and it's 0:58:09.200 --> 0:58:11.240 just a black and white that's given to you. And 0:58:11.280 --> 0:58:13.360 there are a ton of shades of gray in this 0:58:13.480 --> 0:58:16.360 and as we learn more, we're introducing more shades of gray. 0:58:16.400 --> 0:58:19.560 But we're also getting more clarification about why some people 0:58:19.640 --> 0:58:22.120 have good effects with things and other people don't. 0:58:22.440 --> 0:58:24.760 Oh well that's the other You don't know till you 0:58:24.840 --> 0:58:28.400 get a diagnosis, right, if your body tolerates it exactly. 0:58:28.440 --> 0:58:30.560 And so you know, as much research as we do, 0:58:30.600 --> 0:58:33.480 everybody's an individual body is also going to react differently. 0:58:33.520 --> 0:58:36.920 But we are seeing larger population things that that are 0:58:37.000 --> 0:58:40.760 speaking to saturated fats and what effects are good and 0:58:40.760 --> 0:58:42.960 what effects are bad and who it's good for. And 0:58:42.960 --> 0:58:44.600 that's where this milk change came from. 0:58:44.680 --> 0:58:48.800 Yeah, Okay, so I think the research said that dairy 0:58:48.880 --> 0:58:52.120 fat may be at worst neutral, Is that an accurate 0:58:52.120 --> 0:58:53.000 assessment in your opinion? 0:58:53.080 --> 0:58:56.120 Yeah, at worst neutral is confusing a bunch of words. 0:58:56.120 --> 0:58:58.720 But so the worst thing is the worst thing it 0:58:58.840 --> 0:58:59.640 happened for is nothing? 0:58:59.760 --> 0:58:59.960 Is that? 0:59:01.040 --> 0:59:01.480 Essentially? 0:59:01.560 --> 0:59:03.600 I mean, that's what we're seeing right now, and I'll 0:59:03.600 --> 0:59:06.320 always qualify things with that as far as findings in 0:59:06.360 --> 0:59:08.360 the literature, things are always bound to change, just like 0:59:08.600 --> 0:59:10.480 our two glasses of wine good or one glass of 0:59:10.480 --> 0:59:12.800 wine good. It's the same thing with this, but it's 0:59:12.840 --> 0:59:16.040 it's evolving. And so what we're learning is that dairy 0:59:16.160 --> 0:59:18.800 saturated fats, so the saturated fats that are included in 0:59:18.880 --> 0:59:25.040 things like yogurt, in milk and cheese, those are kind 0:59:25.080 --> 0:59:27.720 of they behave differently in our bodies, both with the 0:59:27.800 --> 0:59:30.480 absorption and what they do in our bodies, and so 0:59:30.520 --> 0:59:33.640 they have a different effect in our bodies than the 0:59:33.720 --> 0:59:36.439 saturated fats that we take in from meats and other 0:59:36.520 --> 0:59:38.800 things that have been demonized for so long. 0:59:39.520 --> 0:59:43.440 All right, so I'm still confused by this, Sanjay, Can 0:59:43.480 --> 0:59:45.160 I still have a whole stick of butter for lunch? 0:59:45.760 --> 0:59:47.680 You can have two sloan but no one else, no 0:59:47.720 --> 0:59:49.960 one else listening can But I don't see. 0:59:50.440 --> 0:59:52.880 The whole Butter tastes great and bread whatever it is 0:59:52.880 --> 0:59:54.960 like it just you know, margarine and we've got this 0:59:54.960 --> 0:59:57.160 this avocado oil butter and stuff like. 0:59:57.480 --> 0:59:58.479 Just have a little bit of butter. 0:59:58.640 --> 1:00:00.840 Yeah, so we'll be we'll be at the pyramid in 1:00:01.160 --> 1:00:03.560 a little bit, or at least the new guidelines right 1:00:04.480 --> 1:00:07.160 that butter. There's a picture of butter right in that triangle. 1:00:07.240 --> 1:00:10.840 And so you know, butter is fine to a certain amount, 1:00:10.880 --> 1:00:14.040 and again everything is good in moderation. It is not 1:00:14.400 --> 1:00:17.520 you know, butter is classified as dairy, but it's not 1:00:17.560 --> 1:00:19.960 the dairy we're talking about here with the really healthy 1:00:20.360 --> 1:00:24.720 saturated fats that will that could potentially improve your health. 1:00:25.480 --> 1:00:28.720 So again it's the yogurt, it's the cheese, it's the milk. 1:00:28.840 --> 1:00:32.800 Those those saturated fats in there maybe beneficial to health. 1:00:32.880 --> 1:00:34.760 And that's what we're seeing in a bunch of studies 1:00:34.760 --> 1:00:35.320 in the last. 1:00:35.200 --> 1:00:37.520 Decade, Wow, that it's actually good for you so or 1:00:37.600 --> 1:00:39.800 versus twenty something years of science that we thought, oh, 1:00:39.800 --> 1:00:40.520 it's all bad for you. 1:00:40.640 --> 1:00:40.920 Exactly. 1:00:41.000 --> 1:00:42.520 It's kind of like the meat debate, you know, and 1:00:42.760 --> 1:00:44.440 the environment and all will get to that in a second. 1:00:44.520 --> 1:00:47.720 But when they rolled out impossible burgers and you try that, 1:00:47.760 --> 1:00:50.120 you go, oh, what actually tastes because in the past, like, yeah, 1:00:50.120 --> 1:00:54.720 that tofurky stuff like us nasty? Like why if you 1:00:54.840 --> 1:00:57.240 like tofu, eat the tofu? But why do you try 1:00:57.280 --> 1:00:59.480 to trick you into thinking it's something that it's not. 1:01:00.000 --> 1:01:01.480 You know, it's just it's like, well. 1:01:01.320 --> 1:01:03.320 It's mental gymnastics. 1:01:03.360 --> 1:01:06.360 There always something because you know, my daughter when she 1:01:06.400 --> 1:01:07.960 was kids, she went through the I'm going a vegan 1:01:08.200 --> 1:01:09.720 and then you buy this crap and she'd eat it 1:01:09.720 --> 1:01:11.400 because it tastes like crap, of course, and she eat 1:01:11.440 --> 1:01:12.000 my nuggets. 1:01:12.000 --> 1:01:14.120 So we got problems. We're gonna tell we're gonna throw down. 1:01:14.520 --> 1:01:14.760 Uh. 1:01:15.040 --> 1:01:16.720 But but you look at this and go, okay, that 1:01:16.720 --> 1:01:19.720 that aside, when you get back to eggs and meat 1:01:19.720 --> 1:01:21.640 and dairy and just just have a little bit of 1:01:21.680 --> 1:01:25.160 the good stuff and you're satisfied and you're fine. Let's 1:01:25.360 --> 1:01:26.480 I mentioned the impossible burger. 1:01:26.520 --> 1:01:27.560 Same thing. It's like you're training. 1:01:27.600 --> 1:01:29.480 Okay, hey, that's a little cholesterol, but it's got to 1:01:29.480 --> 1:01:31.120 help a lot of sodium in it. 1:01:30.680 --> 1:01:33.280 Yea, it's the sodium, but it's also the other stuff 1:01:33.840 --> 1:01:36.680 and that's not yeah, exactly, the chemicals and that's the 1:01:36.920 --> 1:01:39.160 that's the other part of this new guideline from the 1:01:39.160 --> 1:01:42.440 government is you know, eat real food. That's there, that's 1:01:42.480 --> 1:01:45.120 their three words. It's just real food as opposed to 1:01:45.200 --> 1:01:48.120 things that have been ultra processed, which we're finding that 1:01:48.280 --> 1:01:50.720 is that is the enemy. That's that's where we really 1:01:50.720 --> 1:01:53.320 should be focusing our attention as opposed to you know, 1:01:53.720 --> 1:01:56.160 the saturated fats and eliminating fat, et cetera. 1:01:56.320 --> 1:01:57.960 How many days a week or how many times can 1:01:58.000 --> 1:01:59.560 we could I I mean have a process. I mean, 1:01:59.560 --> 1:02:01.760 if you're really you want a you know, carry out 1:02:01.800 --> 1:02:04.440 cheeseburger or a pizza or something like that, there's going 1:02:04.520 --> 1:02:06.760 to be you know, process glue all that stuff. How 1:02:06.840 --> 1:02:08.120 many times? How often? 1:02:09.040 --> 1:02:09.680 It's hard? 1:02:09.840 --> 1:02:12.240 I like sticking to the eighty twenty rule general in 1:02:12.280 --> 1:02:14.400 my life as far as you know, do eighty percent 1:02:14.400 --> 1:02:16.080 of the time do it well? Twenty percent of the 1:02:16.080 --> 1:02:18.640 time not so well? Loose Obviously as a physician, I 1:02:18.640 --> 1:02:20.440 have to say never do it. But who's going to 1:02:20.480 --> 1:02:22.840 follow that? Not even myself? Yeah, because I love a 1:02:22.880 --> 1:02:25.840 good burger, right, and so I would say, you know, 1:02:25.960 --> 1:02:28.800 as long as five days out of the week you're 1:02:28.840 --> 1:02:32.560 eating healthy and watching all of that ultra processed food. 1:02:33.440 --> 1:02:36.080 You know, treat yourself, okay, once or twice. 1:02:35.880 --> 1:02:38.360 A week, but sometimes like the junk food is like, 1:02:38.560 --> 1:02:40.920 for example, I like wings, So if I have chicken wing, 1:02:41.040 --> 1:02:43.560 it's a chicken wing and it's Frank's red hot, which 1:02:43.600 --> 1:02:47.280 is just you know, peppers and vinegar and salt. Essentially, 1:02:48.000 --> 1:02:50.920 there's nothing really processed about all that is there. 1:02:51.000 --> 1:02:52.400 But it's still bad for men. 1:02:52.600 --> 1:02:54.840 It depends where you're getting your wings. If you're going 1:02:54.880 --> 1:02:56.720 out to a chain, you don't know what they're frying 1:02:56.760 --> 1:02:58.880 it in. You don't know what extra ingredients they're putting 1:02:58.880 --> 1:03:01.560 in it. Yeah, to your point, if you're making them 1:03:01.600 --> 1:03:05.680 at home and baking them especially, you can Yeah, you. 1:03:05.640 --> 1:03:06.080 Can do that. 1:03:06.240 --> 1:03:08.200 Okay, all right, let's talk about the food minter again. 1:03:08.360 --> 1:03:11.480 It's our resident physician and health guy Health Food and 1:03:11.560 --> 1:03:15.400 Fitness coming together with Sanjay Shevacrimani. Let's talk about the 1:03:15.440 --> 1:03:18.880 new guidelines that rolled out recently for the food pyramid. 1:03:18.920 --> 1:03:20.840 And obviously the dairy element comes and have the whole 1:03:20.880 --> 1:03:23.120 fact coming back and so how much different is it? 1:03:23.160 --> 1:03:23.760 What are they calling for? 1:03:24.240 --> 1:03:27.440 So what they're calling for is increased amount of protein. 1:03:27.600 --> 1:03:30.560 So one and a half grams per kilogram to one 1:03:30.600 --> 1:03:32.800 point seven grams per kilogram of body weight. 1:03:32.880 --> 1:03:33.680 So for the for. 1:03:33.720 --> 1:03:36.360 Me, I'm an American English. 1:03:36.480 --> 1:03:40.600 That's the funny part is you know we have again 1:03:40.640 --> 1:03:42.840 and then we get kilograms in there, come on, come on. 1:03:43.440 --> 1:03:47.440 But yes, basically for a you can come down to 1:03:47.560 --> 1:03:52.720 basically half a pound per sorry half u zero point 1:03:52.760 --> 1:03:55.640 five grams of protein per pound of body weight. And 1:03:55.720 --> 1:03:58.800 so for me, it's a little over one hundred that 1:03:58.880 --> 1:04:02.120 I should be at. As far as protein andras protein, yeah, 1:04:02.320 --> 1:04:04.560 a lot of protein. It is a lot, and you 1:04:04.560 --> 1:04:06.560 know it's it's much higher than what it was before. 1:04:06.600 --> 1:04:08.840 I think it was point eight to one. And so 1:04:08.880 --> 1:04:11.680 we're increasing by a scale of you know, almost seventy 1:04:11.680 --> 1:04:14.960 five percent increase, and so there is a lot to 1:04:15.000 --> 1:04:18.320 it as far as protein, not just satisfying your hunger, 1:04:18.360 --> 1:04:20.800 but what it does to our you know, our body 1:04:20.800 --> 1:04:24.320 mass and how we metabolize things and burn calories. And 1:04:24.360 --> 1:04:27.040 so what we're finding more and more is protein is 1:04:27.040 --> 1:04:29.000 is golden as far as its intake. 1:04:29.120 --> 1:04:32.240 Yeah, yeah, I mean, especially the very lean proteins, chicken breast, 1:04:32.240 --> 1:04:34.880 things like that. You can't go wrong cooking that stuff 1:04:34.920 --> 1:04:38.160 for sure. So and you are his said, well, your 1:04:38.160 --> 1:04:40.160 body only needs a certain amount of this thing. But 1:04:40.200 --> 1:04:41.760 then you know, you look at bodybuilders. You know, you 1:04:42.040 --> 1:04:44.680 own a gym and guys there. You know back in 1:04:44.720 --> 1:04:46.680 the day when I would lift it. See, you need 1:04:46.720 --> 1:04:49.040 more prote than the guidelines recommend. You're taking a way 1:04:49.040 --> 1:04:51.240 more protein than that. Now your body just excreachs. It's like, 1:04:51.280 --> 1:04:54.120 you know, vitamins or just makes her p expensive. But 1:04:54.200 --> 1:04:57.960 every successful bodybuilder I've ever seen or talked to, they 1:04:58.040 --> 1:05:00.840 eat incredible amount of protein. So there's some truth today, 1:05:00.960 --> 1:05:03.520 and it's more about the it's about the science, and 1:05:03.560 --> 1:05:04.640 I see better than I hear. 1:05:04.880 --> 1:05:06.960 Yeah, there's a lot. I mean, especially if you if 1:05:07.000 --> 1:05:08.920 you do want to get stronger and stronger. Now, if 1:05:08.960 --> 1:05:11.880 you want to maintain, you don't have to pound the protein, 1:05:11.960 --> 1:05:14.280 but if you do want to get stronger, bigger, et cetera, 1:05:15.080 --> 1:05:18.120 increasing your protein intake is one of the cornerstones. 1:05:18.320 --> 1:05:22.640 Okay, so yeah, the new guidelines are increasing protein. It 1:05:22.640 --> 1:05:25.840 doesn't necessarily mean though, because often people confuse that protein 1:05:25.880 --> 1:05:28.320 thing with either I've got to drink you know, liquid 1:05:28.720 --> 1:05:31.880 aminos and all the or now I'm eating you know, 1:05:32.040 --> 1:05:33.160 hamburger every meal. 1:05:33.240 --> 1:05:34.840 That's not true at all that's funny. 1:05:34.840 --> 1:05:37.160 A lean pork always got a bad rap because it 1:05:37.200 --> 1:05:38.919 was fatty, but pork is extremely lean. 1:05:38.960 --> 1:05:40.160 Now pork is pretty lean. 1:05:40.640 --> 1:05:43.200 I'm still very much a fan of poultry and fish 1:05:43.240 --> 1:05:46.080 in general, especially fish coming through with the Omega threes, 1:05:46.440 --> 1:05:49.560 stuff like salmon, I even you know, mackerel is one 1:05:49.560 --> 1:05:52.040 of those things that really comes up. And then sardines, 1:05:52.040 --> 1:05:54.760 which I'm weird and I love them. 1:05:54.080 --> 1:05:56.120 But I'm a sardine guy. I like sardine. 1:05:56.400 --> 1:05:59.120 I'll put those things on my toast or my bagels 1:05:59.160 --> 1:06:02.439 in the morning. Le fiance, you know, turns their nose 1:06:02.520 --> 1:06:03.920 up or just walks away when I do that. 1:06:04.000 --> 1:06:04.920 Yeah, the seas are salid. 1:06:04.960 --> 1:06:09.080 I'm having to start there was don't fall on the 1:06:09.080 --> 1:06:11.960 list so much. Start the entire little healthier. But anchovies 1:06:12.000 --> 1:06:14.640 do have their health benefits too, gotcha all right? 1:06:14.680 --> 1:06:17.600 Son? Jay? So we know protein is is it the 1:06:17.600 --> 1:06:18.440 top of the pyramid? 1:06:18.640 --> 1:06:18.800 Now? 1:06:19.120 --> 1:06:22.760 So it they They've actually not It's not really called 1:06:22.760 --> 1:06:25.080 a pyramid so much anymore. It's actually drawn as an 1:06:25.160 --> 1:06:30.760 inverted pyramid. And overall, the the idea is balance, get 1:06:30.800 --> 1:06:33.440 a certain amount of a lot of healthy things and 1:06:33.680 --> 1:06:36.480 real foods, and so what you'll see is the picture 1:06:36.560 --> 1:06:40.080 depicted with vegetables and proteins up top, and then you'll 1:06:40.080 --> 1:06:42.160 have whole grains on the bottom, which is again a 1:06:42.200 --> 1:06:45.240 different change. It's you know, carbs are not the devil. 1:06:45.640 --> 1:06:45.760 Uh. 1:06:46.080 --> 1:06:49.000 You know, however many years ago keto is all the rage. 1:06:49.080 --> 1:06:50.840 I know some people still do it. But what we're 1:06:50.880 --> 1:06:53.480 finding is balance is good and then paying more attention, 1:06:54.080 --> 1:06:57.000 uh to the protein intake especially and then your fruits 1:06:57.000 --> 1:06:57.720 and vegetables. 1:06:57.920 --> 1:07:00.560 Is this all change, this whole protein thing because of 1:07:00.600 --> 1:07:02.960 the keto rage and the fact that actually worked it rocks. 1:07:03.120 --> 1:07:04.840 I wouldn't be surprised if that was part of it. 1:07:04.880 --> 1:07:07.280 I mean, you know the keto craze was that was 1:07:07.600 --> 1:07:10.800 that diet actually originally came from treating patients with seizures, 1:07:11.520 --> 1:07:14.720 and then they found out, like these kids are getting gains. No, 1:07:15.240 --> 1:07:18.480 it is more like the weight loss, and that's what happened, 1:07:18.520 --> 1:07:20.920 and people kind of jumped onto that. So we're going 1:07:20.960 --> 1:07:23.200 to continue to learn about this stuff, and I wouldn't 1:07:23.240 --> 1:07:26.000 be surprised. I have well, I have a little idea 1:07:26.000 --> 1:07:28.720 about what might be the next protein, which is fiber, 1:07:28.840 --> 1:07:31.320 which has been ignored for a long time. But fiber 1:07:31.440 --> 1:07:34.840 is probably going to be have more attention coming up 1:07:34.920 --> 1:07:39.360 to So normally think fiber, you think carbohydrates. You don't 1:07:39.400 --> 1:07:43.320 think protein, right, and you know it is carbs, but 1:07:43.360 --> 1:07:47.200 they're usually not absorbed carbohydrates, So you don't have to 1:07:47.200 --> 1:07:49.640 worry so much about all the calories you're getting in 1:07:49.640 --> 1:07:51.320 because they're just kind of kind of pushed through your 1:07:51.520 --> 1:07:55.840 your intestines and leave the body. And so fiber is 1:07:55.880 --> 1:07:59.800 like a toothbrush or your colon, exactly power washing out there. 1:08:00.040 --> 1:08:03.160 And that's actually a great metaphor. It's you know, it 1:08:03.240 --> 1:08:06.640 really kind of moves things along and keeps you healthy. 1:08:06.760 --> 1:08:09.200 And we'll see where that goes. I don't have a 1:08:09.240 --> 1:08:10.760 lot of data to back that up, but I know 1:08:10.840 --> 1:08:12.440 that fiber is really getting more attention. 1:08:12.480 --> 1:08:16.120 Sanjay Shavacromani here on Scottslone show on seven hundred wlwuh. 1:08:16.160 --> 1:08:19.479 He's a physician, gym owner, he's a health guy. We 1:08:19.479 --> 1:08:21.439 talk about all that stuff on Thursday mornings. Anyway, Where 1:08:21.439 --> 1:08:22.559 can people find you? What's your handle? 1:08:23.280 --> 1:08:25.720 Dine Well Doc or doctor sun Jay Sinc. Those are 1:08:25.760 --> 1:08:27.479 my two instagram right at dine welld Doc. There you 1:08:27.520 --> 1:08:28.600 go appreciate it, brother, Thank you. 1:08:28.600 --> 1:08:32.400 We'll talk next week Scott's Loan Show, seven hundred w welwig. 1:08:31.880 --> 1:08:33.360 Check that's check. 1:08:33.800 --> 1:08:34.719 Enter it now. 1:08:37.640 --> 1:08:40.799 Floaning here on seven hundred w W A Trump hurricane, 1:08:40.840 --> 1:08:42.160 Trump blowing the Switzerland. 1:08:42.200 --> 1:08:45.400 Mister Davos is all upside. I don't know what to bay. 1:08:45.400 --> 1:08:46.720 They're like, what do we make of this guy? We 1:08:46.720 --> 1:08:48.639 don't know. You got tariffs, you got Greenland, we got 1:08:48.640 --> 1:08:49.200 so much more. 1:08:49.720 --> 1:08:49.800 Uh. 1:08:49.880 --> 1:08:52.280 The big question, of course, then is how this impacts US. 1:08:52.479 --> 1:08:55.759 And a new study shows US tariffs anyway not good. Dominic, 1:08:55.880 --> 1:08:59.760 mister Rendino on the show Retail techmedianexus dot com is 1:08:59.800 --> 1:09:00.360 what site? 1:09:00.400 --> 1:09:01.719 Dominic? Good morning, How are. 1:09:01.600 --> 1:09:03.400 You doing well? How are you doing that? 1:09:03.439 --> 1:09:05.519 I'm doing well. There's a lot going on. You've got 1:09:05.520 --> 1:09:10.160 trumpet Davus, You've got terrorists back and forth. It's a mess. 1:09:10.760 --> 1:09:11.880 So you know, the. 1:09:12.080 --> 1:09:14.959 Baseline ten percent tax on all imports for certain countries. 1:09:15.439 --> 1:09:15.960 We saw that. 1:09:16.000 --> 1:09:19.519 We saw Brazil saturday hits ten percent or threats anyway 1:09:19.640 --> 1:09:22.519 against members of the EU, which may fracture that as well. 1:09:23.160 --> 1:09:25.400 There's a lot going on relative to the terroriffs. And 1:09:25.439 --> 1:09:28.320 of course the study comes out that I will share 1:09:28.400 --> 1:09:31.280 right now that said, and it's from a think tank 1:09:31.320 --> 1:09:32.880 that's been around for a long long time, like one 1:09:32.920 --> 1:09:36.800 hundred years, very respected in many circles. I'm sure the 1:09:36.840 --> 1:09:39.000 President will disagree with the Day to say and it's fake. 1:09:39.080 --> 1:09:42.439 But ninety six percent of tariff costs fall on American 1:09:42.479 --> 1:09:46.080 importers and consumers, and so foreign exporters who the terroriff's 1:09:46.080 --> 1:09:48.800 target absorbab only about four percent of that. We've seen 1:09:48.800 --> 1:09:52.519 about two hundred billion dollars come into customs last year. 1:09:52.520 --> 1:09:54.120 I believe it was two hundred bion close to it. 1:09:54.920 --> 1:09:57.120 But most of that is an effectively at tax paid 1:09:57.120 --> 1:10:00.719 by by most Americans. So given that, how are retailers 1:10:00.720 --> 1:10:02.920 adjusting their pricing strategies to cope with all this? 1:10:04.760 --> 1:10:10.760 Well, first, thanks for the questions all that intro. You know, 1:10:11.280 --> 1:10:13.519 one has to consider what is a tariff? And the 1:10:13.560 --> 1:10:16.840 tariff is tax on the goods coming in the door. 1:10:17.680 --> 1:10:20.960 It's not as if the other country is paying it 1:10:21.080 --> 1:10:25.400 or the other person sending it over. It's the importer. 1:10:25.680 --> 1:10:29.000 And if an importer is receiving this goods and going 1:10:29.080 --> 1:10:31.120 to sell them on, he's getting his T shirts in 1:10:31.160 --> 1:10:34.880 for ten bucks or his coffee in, he's not likely 1:10:35.600 --> 1:10:39.400 going to say I will just absorb that tax right, 1:10:39.720 --> 1:10:41.160 and enjoy it for the fun. 1:10:41.000 --> 1:10:43.280 You can for a while, but it's not sustainable in 1:10:43.280 --> 1:10:45.720 the long term. 1:10:45.120 --> 1:10:47.479 Not at all. And in certain cases, not only that, 1:10:48.200 --> 1:10:52.040 the margin just isn't there. When you're buying your fifteen 1:10:52.160 --> 1:10:55.439 dollars for a pound of coffee, at one point just 1:10:55.479 --> 1:10:57.120 have to pay the guy to pick the coffee, grow 1:10:57.200 --> 1:11:00.639 the beans. It's not as if it's dock on dollar 1:11:00.720 --> 1:11:05.120 and yet magically it's fourteen dollars for profit. So when 1:11:05.160 --> 1:11:09.920 you do have these tariffs, generally speaking, they're higher than 1:11:09.960 --> 1:11:12.640 the profit margin. So if you're running a business and 1:11:12.680 --> 1:11:14.960 your job is importing coffee beans and you have a 1:11:15.080 --> 1:11:17.840 tariff slapped on that, you're going to raise the price. 1:11:17.880 --> 1:11:19.280 There's just no other choice. 1:11:20.120 --> 1:11:22.880 Yeah, and you have to. And that's why inflation is 1:11:22.880 --> 1:11:24.519 where it is. I mean, it's sticky. 1:11:24.560 --> 1:11:26.639 They I think the Chairman of the Fed, Jerom Powell, 1:11:26.720 --> 1:11:28.960 said that they expect things to maybe level off here 1:11:28.960 --> 1:11:31.120 and it's starting to go down slightly slowly, but it's 1:11:31.120 --> 1:11:33.639 going to be in long slog until we burn off 1:11:33.640 --> 1:11:35.439 some of this tariff stuff. So on that when it 1:11:35.439 --> 1:11:37.800 comes to the retail environment that we all have to 1:11:37.840 --> 1:11:41.479 participating as American consumers. If you do a deep dive 1:11:41.520 --> 1:11:43.800 on this study that came out that said ninety six 1:11:44.040 --> 1:11:47.719 cents of every dollar's paid for paid by American consumers 1:11:47.720 --> 1:11:51.040 and the tariffs, I guess you see trade volumes. The 1:11:51.120 --> 1:11:53.880 volume collapses, but the price is stay high. So does 1:11:53.920 --> 1:11:58.920 that simply mean that certain product categories have been discontinued 1:11:59.080 --> 1:12:00.720 or limited because of the tar aras and we just 1:12:00.760 --> 1:12:03.640 like we dwindled the supply, maybe not of quantity, but 1:12:03.760 --> 1:12:05.719 of choices. Does it eliminate choices? 1:12:07.920 --> 1:12:11.840 Consumers still love choices, but it eliminates choices in terms 1:12:11.840 --> 1:12:15.240 of demand. If you're going to go to Starbucks, you're 1:12:15.280 --> 1:12:20.040 not necessarily going to buy that coffee where the beans 1:12:20.040 --> 1:12:21.120 are so super rare. 1:12:21.840 --> 1:12:23.360 When it's forty five dollars a pound. 1:12:23.400 --> 1:12:26.719 After awhile, right, you're going to start choosing. You saw 1:12:26.800 --> 1:12:33.120 this recently with the car manufacturers saying, you know, the 1:12:33.320 --> 1:12:36.360 importing the luxury cars because the average consumer is going 1:12:36.439 --> 1:12:40.479 to say, I don't want to spend that much. Once 1:12:40.560 --> 1:12:43.880 that price goes up, the choice of luxury starts getting 1:12:43.920 --> 1:12:44.320 hit too. 1:12:45.080 --> 1:12:47.719 Yeah, some of this stuff feels luxurious. I've just seen 1:12:47.760 --> 1:12:49.920 some of you. Well, our buddy John John from our 1:12:49.960 --> 1:12:52.280 sisters stition kiss Oo seven. I saw him yesterday and 1:12:52.280 --> 1:12:55.080 had a bag of the mushroom coffee. I've heard about it, 1:12:55.080 --> 1:12:56.920 I've never seen it live in the real world before. 1:12:56.920 --> 1:12:59.439 And I said, ah, man, I'm coffee so expensive right now? 1:12:59.520 --> 1:12:59.960 Is that a go to? 1:13:00.280 --> 1:13:00.360 If? 1:13:00.400 --> 1:13:03.160 He said no, it's like forty five bucks a bag 1:13:03.320 --> 1:13:06.040 for some mind what the I'm like, I guess there's 1:13:06.040 --> 1:13:08.400 still some first ball problems out there despite the economy. 1:13:10.320 --> 1:13:12.599 Well, you know, people will still do it. 1:13:13.000 --> 1:13:15.200 Will he do it every day? Will he do it 1:13:15.200 --> 1:13:15.679 every week? 1:13:15.760 --> 1:13:17.200 It's kind of dumb. He probably will. 1:13:18.520 --> 1:13:21.720 Well, it's a different story, you know. Then that's an 1:13:21.720 --> 1:13:26.479 intelligence issue going on. But and that, But there is 1:13:26.520 --> 1:13:29.320 a truth to that. If there is somebody who has 1:13:29.360 --> 1:13:33.040 the budget for such things, yes they are not impacted. 1:13:33.160 --> 1:13:35.920 If you are a billionaire, you're not really worrying about 1:13:36.439 --> 1:13:39.479 the type of coffee you're buying. The average guy covering 1:13:39.479 --> 1:13:42.879 the average bills, he's worried. And some of these paraffs. 1:13:42.960 --> 1:13:47.960 Keep in mind, the premise normally is please get manufacturings 1:13:48.000 --> 1:13:50.200 back to the United States. 1:13:51.120 --> 1:13:54.080 Okay, But but that's not happening right now because I 1:13:54.080 --> 1:13:57.200 mean it's gotten away from that. That was the campaign promise, like, hey, 1:13:57.240 --> 1:13:58.800 we need to get manufacturing jobs back. 1:13:58.840 --> 1:13:59.840 Yes, it's all the union guys. 1:13:59.880 --> 1:14:01.559 You support him, and they're like, hey, well you're right, 1:14:01.640 --> 1:14:04.160 let's get And I'm a very very protragous guy. That's 1:14:04.160 --> 1:14:07.160 what I do when I'm not here. However, now we're 1:14:07.280 --> 1:14:10.000 you know, he's at Davos talking about hitting retali tray 1:14:10.520 --> 1:14:14.040 or tarifsts and the Europeans will retaliate because we want 1:14:14.040 --> 1:14:16.400 to take over Greenland. What the hell's that got to 1:14:16.479 --> 1:14:19.320 do with bringing manufacturing back to the United States. 1:14:19.560 --> 1:14:25.120 And exactly that's one of many problems I think that 1:14:25.160 --> 1:14:29.120 we're seeing is that Number one, is it the direct modus? 1:14:29.200 --> 1:14:32.400 Number two, are we hitting products that we can even 1:14:32.439 --> 1:14:35.519 bring back to the United States? Coffee? I keep on quoting, 1:14:36.120 --> 1:14:39.200 because you can't bring that back. There's just there's no back. 1:14:39.280 --> 1:14:44.760 There's no way to do it. No, there's certain chemicals, 1:14:44.800 --> 1:14:49.040 are certain manufacturing. I remember being an article of people 1:14:49.040 --> 1:14:52.439 in West Virginia saying, we don't want to have our 1:14:52.439 --> 1:14:56.599 grandkids working in the minds that we we did. That's 1:14:56.600 --> 1:14:59.679 the different mindsets and sometimes you don't want it back. 1:15:00.439 --> 1:15:05.639 And also keep in mind Tariff's smooth hole like, there's 1:15:05.680 --> 1:15:09.880 been historical precedent where people don't really love tariffs. They 1:15:09.880 --> 1:15:13.880 don't work out so well historically speaking. But it was 1:15:13.880 --> 1:15:17.680 a campaign promise, right, So now it's being used for 1:15:17.840 --> 1:15:21.479 multiple motives, and when you don't know what that motive is, 1:15:21.640 --> 1:15:25.600 it's very hard for the markets to readjust which. 1:15:25.360 --> 1:15:27.519 Is why we see all this volatility, the Green one, 1:15:27.520 --> 1:15:29.719 everything else. We just don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, 1:15:29.760 --> 1:15:33.280 and markets hate that. They like certainty, inconsistency, They hate 1:15:33.479 --> 1:15:36.960 what's happening here relative to volatility. If you have a 1:15:37.000 --> 1:15:40.160 product like Brazil any other countries with a fifty percent 1:15:40.200 --> 1:15:43.720 plus tariff, right you kind of touched on a little bit, 1:15:43.760 --> 1:15:48.120 But are there domestic alternatives or non tariffs suppliers from 1:15:48.120 --> 1:15:49.559 other countries? Are We starting to find. 1:15:49.400 --> 1:15:54.559 That depends on the product And the other minor issue 1:15:54.680 --> 1:15:57.880 is depends also on the complexity of the product. You're 1:15:57.920 --> 1:16:02.880 talking about supply chains and a very elaborate supply chain 1:16:03.000 --> 1:16:10.080 system that has been created over years. So car manufacturing, 1:16:10.160 --> 1:16:15.280 we've discussed that that takes years to build a factory. iPhones, 1:16:15.520 --> 1:16:19.040 you don't necessarily hear about new iPhone factories being made 1:16:19.080 --> 1:16:22.559 in the us because it takes a good degree of time. 1:16:23.520 --> 1:16:27.880 So with that in mind, it is a mechanism that 1:16:28.000 --> 1:16:32.360 requires a good degree of time, and people do want 1:16:32.400 --> 1:16:35.160 to be aligned to know why are we doing this? 1:16:35.600 --> 1:16:36.120 Essentially? 1:16:36.280 --> 1:16:39.920 Yeah, what about something like clothing? For example? Is that 1:16:40.000 --> 1:16:41.720 I mean we have cotton? Where are we able to 1:16:41.800 --> 1:16:43.800 manufacture clothing? Take some of this stuff back? 1:16:45.240 --> 1:16:49.599 All this in theory could be done because the other 1:16:49.720 --> 1:16:53.560 question begs, we're used to going on Amazon buying a 1:16:53.640 --> 1:16:57.679 shirt for five dollars? How are you going to possibly 1:16:57.720 --> 1:17:01.719 do that in America fifteen to twenty dollars hour minimum 1:17:01.760 --> 1:17:06.080 wage in most areas, it's not gonna happen. So the 1:17:06.120 --> 1:17:12.320 cost on the consumer. We're used to this Amazon team world. 1:17:13.600 --> 1:17:14.280 Way? Does that go? 1:17:14.760 --> 1:17:17.920 Yeah? Well, some of us might say, go, well, you 1:17:18.000 --> 1:17:19.479 go back to the old days. We made everything. 1:17:19.520 --> 1:17:21.840 It was larger because of World War two, right, we're 1:17:21.880 --> 1:17:25.040 the only giant left stand. We became a giant and 1:17:25.560 --> 1:17:28.160 everyone else, you know, the European economy was in shambles 1:17:28.160 --> 1:17:30.920 because of the war. Russia was not a player, India, 1:17:31.040 --> 1:17:33.840 China and they were all prehistoric colonies. But at that 1:17:33.880 --> 1:17:36.600 point a lot of people haven't got anywhere near so 1:17:36.600 --> 1:17:38.599 we made everything for the rest of the world because 1:17:38.600 --> 1:17:41.679 the infrastructure was wiped out. So we got fat, happy 1:17:41.720 --> 1:17:44.839 and complacent in the fifties, in a part of the sixties, 1:17:44.880 --> 1:17:46.360 and then all of a sudden by the seventies, like 1:17:46.360 --> 1:17:48.559 the Japanese came around with the auto industry. We started 1:17:48.560 --> 1:17:51.040 to see that turn. So it's easy to unravel it 1:17:51.120 --> 1:17:52.840 and go, hey, you know what we're gonna We're gonna 1:17:52.960 --> 1:17:54.439 bring up the rest of the world. We're gonna see 1:17:54.479 --> 1:17:57.080 prices drop resultless. But now we got to the point 1:17:57.080 --> 1:18:00.120 where dependent on those foreign goods, you can go one way, 1:18:00.439 --> 1:18:01.800 but you can't go back to the way it was. 1:18:01.800 --> 1:18:03.519 You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube and 1:18:03.560 --> 1:18:05.960 bring those jobs back here because the cost of a 1:18:05.960 --> 1:18:07.719 T shirt would be like four hundred dollars. 1:18:10.400 --> 1:18:13.000 Well, the next question to me is do we want 1:18:13.080 --> 1:18:19.439 that we had manufacturing here? Did we necessarily love having 1:18:20.720 --> 1:18:22.280 factories all over? Right? 1:18:22.640 --> 1:18:28.479 We turned into a service tourism economy, and you know, 1:18:28.560 --> 1:18:31.679 we turned into the brains of the world developing stuff. 1:18:31.720 --> 1:18:33.600 If you look at the top biggest. 1:18:33.200 --> 1:18:40.760 Companies, Facebook, Twitter, you know, all social media, our movie industry, 1:18:41.439 --> 1:18:47.439 we're not necessarily building stuff. But that said we are 1:18:47.479 --> 1:18:52.680 the guys organizing and creating that service, does that and 1:18:52.760 --> 1:18:56.719 want to change? Do we truly want to have more 1:18:57.040 --> 1:18:59.680 coal factories or more this? 1:19:00.040 --> 1:19:04.000 What do we enjoy ordering that stuff in the door? 1:19:05.040 --> 1:19:09.599 And yet you know, having that privilege so to speak. 1:19:11.680 --> 1:19:14.599 Yeah, I think that that's also reflect that's also reflected back. 1:19:14.680 --> 1:19:16.120 Like kids, for example, used to be well, what do 1:19:16.160 --> 1:19:17.080 you want to be? I want to be? 1:19:17.439 --> 1:19:19.360 I don't know, I want to be an astronaut, right, 1:19:19.600 --> 1:19:20.800 be a firefighter on being? 1:19:21.040 --> 1:19:23.400 Okay? What kids want to be influencers today? 1:19:24.040 --> 1:19:24.200 Right? 1:19:24.280 --> 1:19:27.439 Those are other service jobs to to agree, But largely 1:19:27.439 --> 1:19:28.960 it was like and no one says, hey, you don't 1:19:28.960 --> 1:19:30.920 want to to dig ditches from my life? Okay, it 1:19:31.000 --> 1:19:33.599 just happens. But and we need those two to quote 1:19:33.760 --> 1:19:36.879 judge mails. But nonetheless, kids today want to be influencers. 1:19:36.920 --> 1:19:39.160 I'm not quite sure you're that's a reflection of our 1:19:39.160 --> 1:19:40.920 culture right now. We don't want to work harder, we 1:19:40.960 --> 1:19:41.639 want to orc smarter. 1:19:43.360 --> 1:19:47.120 Yes, and that's what also is it change too, where 1:19:47.160 --> 1:19:51.480 we became the country that people are immigrating to educating 1:19:51.520 --> 1:19:55.719 our population. Now we're having a brain drain of people 1:19:55.720 --> 1:19:57.679 saying I'm not going to America. I'm not going trade 1:19:57.720 --> 1:20:02.280 to America, and that in turn does effect people trying 1:20:02.280 --> 1:20:05.479 to learn or people trying to trade. If you're running 1:20:05.479 --> 1:20:09.559 a business based on service, trade and the ability to 1:20:09.640 --> 1:20:12.439 go country to country is vital to that. 1:20:13.880 --> 1:20:16.960 It was said about Greenland. Mister Rendino. 1:20:17.040 --> 1:20:19.559 By the way, Dom is CEO of Retail, Tech, Media 1:20:19.560 --> 1:20:22.880 and Exus, so he's in the retail sector here too, 1:20:22.920 --> 1:20:25.519 in the impact at the tariffs and presidents are talking 1:20:25.520 --> 1:20:27.800 at Davos and then taking some Q and A from 1:20:27.840 --> 1:20:30.400 the audience at all factors and still leaning towards wanting 1:20:30.439 --> 1:20:33.839 to take over Greenland at this point our European allies 1:20:33.880 --> 1:20:35.639 we need the markets there. By the way, the European 1:20:35.680 --> 1:20:38.879 allies and the EU declared an end to the US 1:20:38.960 --> 1:20:41.640 led global order. Essentially, that's what they said without saying it, 1:20:41.760 --> 1:20:43.280 or maybe some of them did say that, I don't 1:20:43.280 --> 1:20:46.639 know what does that actually mean from a consumer standpoint 1:20:46.640 --> 1:20:47.280 here in America. 1:20:49.840 --> 1:20:52.880 Oh right, And how it's a ripleffect. 1:20:53.439 --> 1:20:58.920 And the more we demand things, for example Greenland, et cetera, 1:20:59.520 --> 1:21:03.520 you're having other countries say can we trust America? 1:21:03.640 --> 1:21:04.759 Can we deal with America? 1:21:04.840 --> 1:21:09.880 Is America the lead? How does America say please don't 1:21:09.880 --> 1:21:16.320 invade Taiwan. We're discussing this. But in addition trade, One 1:21:16.360 --> 1:21:20.240 of the most successful campaigns I think America did during 1:21:20.280 --> 1:21:22.879 trade was when we World War two. We gave about 1:21:23.640 --> 1:21:28.599 bubblegum as soldiers and everyone tasted Wrigley in Hershey's and 1:21:28.640 --> 1:21:31.960 became a brand name. It wasn't as if the product 1:21:32.200 --> 1:21:35.160 was better nor worse, but the brand was there and 1:21:35.360 --> 1:21:37.440 everyone wanted to feel American. 1:21:38.080 --> 1:21:39.400 What happens when that changes. 1:21:39.479 --> 1:21:43.240 You're seeing it now in Kentucky whiskey is going down 1:21:43.640 --> 1:21:45.280 because people do not want that. 1:21:45.800 --> 1:21:47.120 That has that ripple effect. 1:21:47.160 --> 1:21:49.639 One interesting David rattling affects the other. 1:21:50.200 --> 1:21:52.400 Yeah, yeah, kind of the verse is true. I guess 1:21:52.479 --> 1:21:54.559 you know, back the soldiers coming home from World War Two, 1:21:54.640 --> 1:21:57.240 they brought like Italian pizza wasn't a thing until they 1:21:57.280 --> 1:22:00.560 came back from overseas and Italian food. I mean, just 1:22:00.640 --> 1:22:02.519 a small example, but you know, it works both ways 1:22:02.520 --> 1:22:06.000 if you your culture influences others. Coca Cola took off 1:22:06.000 --> 1:22:08.000 globally for that that same reason. 1:22:09.920 --> 1:22:13.920 And these products that take off Coca Cola, McDonald's, Taco Bell, 1:22:15.160 --> 1:22:21.400 spam in the Bland, spam in Asia, right, Yeah, exactly, 1:22:22.160 --> 1:22:26.000 but are they necessarily the best product? Meaning are you 1:22:26.040 --> 1:22:28.479 going to eat McDonald's coke and taco bell and become 1:22:28.520 --> 1:22:32.080 the healthiest human in the planet or are we. 1:22:32.040 --> 1:22:34.240 Doing it because we want to feel good? 1:22:34.800 --> 1:22:39.519 And if that feel good is gone or affected, maybe 1:22:39.520 --> 1:22:42.120 the feeling changes. Maybe you have a negative feeling and 1:22:42.120 --> 1:22:46.200 you're seeing that Kentucky whiskey that is down. 1:22:46.320 --> 1:22:48.519 Yeah, it is, well, start with Canada and elsewhere. 1:22:49.080 --> 1:22:52.719 Uh So the research in this the study by the way, Dominicus, Erandino, 1:22:52.840 --> 1:22:56.560 ninety six percent of tariff costs fall on US American consumers. 1:22:56.880 --> 1:22:59.920 So ninety six cents of every dollar when it comes 1:22:59.960 --> 1:23:02.040 to these tariffs are falling on the Americans consumably in 1:23:02.160 --> 1:23:04.120 fourth sense of that dollar, four percent. 1:23:04.600 --> 1:23:06.240 Are observed by foreign exporters. 1:23:06.439 --> 1:23:09.000 And so we're seeing that two hundred billion in customs 1:23:09.080 --> 1:23:11.120 revenue come back to us, and it's our money to 1:23:11.120 --> 1:23:14.000 begin with, according to the study. Whether you agree or disagree, 1:23:14.040 --> 1:23:16.160 I'll go with the research. And it also shows its 1:23:16.160 --> 1:23:18.880 supply chains are sticky, so you know, we'll just hey, 1:23:18.880 --> 1:23:20.800 we'll just switch supply. You can't really do what's the 1:23:20.840 --> 1:23:23.040 real last time on for fors switch and suppliers. I mean, 1:23:23.080 --> 1:23:27.519 you're in that business dominic. It's it's from I understand, 1:23:27.520 --> 1:23:28.600 it's damn near impossible. 1:23:30.120 --> 1:23:35.920 It's it depends on what I know. Some situations are impossible. 1:23:35.960 --> 1:23:39.240 I know a sunglasses manufacturer that once. 1:23:39.120 --> 1:23:41.719 The artisans who are based in Italy. 1:23:42.240 --> 1:23:44.720 So she's like, I can't get them to come over 1:23:44.760 --> 1:23:48.639 and magically teach those skills to people here in America. 1:23:49.240 --> 1:23:50.280 That's not going to work. 1:23:51.000 --> 1:23:54.760 Other cases, yes, but we go back to that example 1:23:54.880 --> 1:23:56.120 of coffee. 1:23:56.560 --> 1:23:57.880 Yeah, that is impossible. 1:23:58.000 --> 1:24:04.120 You cannot magically make coffee appear and grow in places 1:24:04.160 --> 1:24:06.920 it can't grow. You're not gonna grow coffee in the Midwest, right. 1:24:07.320 --> 1:24:08.120 Not going to happen. 1:24:09.080 --> 1:24:14.400 So it does depend entirely on the product itself. But 1:24:14.439 --> 1:24:17.040 the other challenge is one thing relates to the other. 1:24:17.520 --> 1:24:21.120 So if you're building cars, you might have a factory here, 1:24:21.160 --> 1:24:22.840 but you still need to get the rubber in. 1:24:23.560 --> 1:24:26.240 We're not growing rubber trees in Ohio. You know, it's 1:24:26.280 --> 1:24:27.480 just not going to happen. 1:24:27.479 --> 1:24:31.360 Right, Yeah, And it's kind of a slow slog here, 1:24:31.400 --> 1:24:33.200 and you hope, like at some point you see it payoff. 1:24:33.240 --> 1:24:36.160 And of course we demand instant gratification here in the West. 1:24:36.160 --> 1:24:38.320 That's another part of the problem too. You know when 1:24:38.360 --> 1:24:40.640 the president on the trail says on day one, I'm 1:24:40.640 --> 1:24:41.960 going to fix all the stuff, and here it is 1:24:41.960 --> 1:24:45.600 a year later, and it's not. You know that that 1:24:45.760 --> 1:24:48.479 just feeds that instant demand on demand side, whereas a 1:24:48.520 --> 1:24:49.880 lot of the rest of the world, not all of it, 1:24:49.960 --> 1:24:52.120 but they are more of a slowpl I mean, you 1:24:52.120 --> 1:24:54.679 look at the Middle East right though, China, everything else, 1:24:54.680 --> 1:24:56.880 it's a long slow boils what it is. That's a 1:24:56.920 --> 1:25:00.000 whole different mindset. And you know, our on demand society 1:25:00.000 --> 1:25:01.320 you're in America doesn't mesh up with that. 1:25:03.040 --> 1:25:06.560 Well, keep in mind, we have moved from our regional 1:25:06.640 --> 1:25:11.400 economy to a global We are used to getting goods 1:25:11.600 --> 1:25:14.840 that we really should not normally have gotten. If you're 1:25:14.840 --> 1:25:18.360 sitting in Ohio, you're sitting in the Midwest, you're used 1:25:18.400 --> 1:25:23.400 to getting products on Timu in three minutes. 1:25:24.000 --> 1:25:24.839 But if you think. 1:25:24.880 --> 1:25:29.439 Historically, that's not a norm that you would just go online, 1:25:29.520 --> 1:25:33.160 press a button. It was revolutionary when we did this 1:25:33.240 --> 1:25:37.599 year a Zobach catalog fifty years ago, and you could 1:25:37.680 --> 1:25:40.840 ship something over in weeks. And we moved from that 1:25:41.439 --> 1:25:45.799 to an economy where we're getting it in hours. At times. 1:25:46.560 --> 1:25:51.920 It's a very elaborate system we've gotten used to, and 1:25:51.960 --> 1:25:55.880 the challenge with that begs we're used to it. What 1:25:56.080 --> 1:26:01.400 are we as American consumers willing to to accept? You know, 1:26:01.439 --> 1:26:02.360 I'm walking around. 1:26:03.320 --> 1:26:03.439 Uh. 1:26:03.840 --> 1:26:06.040 If you walk around one's own home and you see 1:26:06.080 --> 1:26:11.640 simple things chemicals or cleaning products, that is the global economy. 1:26:12.000 --> 1:26:14.200 And which of those products that you see in your 1:26:14.240 --> 1:26:18.280 home are not based in the middle? 1:26:18.320 --> 1:26:21.920 Not many, not many? And we'll leave it at that dominic. 1:26:21.920 --> 1:26:24.759 Miss Rendino's the CEO of Retail Tech Media and Axis 1:26:24.840 --> 1:26:28.679 Rtmnexus dot com. Uh, following everything in the retail sector 1:26:28.720 --> 1:26:30.320 relative to the terrafs I'm gonna call the best. 1:26:30.320 --> 1:26:33.040 Thanks for jumping on this morning. I appreciate you amazing. 1:26:33.120 --> 1:26:33.880 Thank you so much. 1:26:34.280 --> 1:26:36.360 That forecast the big story. We'll get to it in 1:26:36.439 --> 1:26:38.320 seconds on seven hundred WLW. 1:26:40.080 --> 1:26:42.840 The buying and selling of homes isn't for the timid 1:26:43.000 --> 1:26:46.040 or meek. The real estate world can be a vicious 1:26:46.160 --> 1:26:51.479 jungle playing with dangers and pitfalls. Thank god we've got 1:26:51.560 --> 1:26:57.040 Remax time agent Michelle Sloan, the fearless realtor of Sloan 1:26:57.160 --> 1:27:00.280 sells Homes dot com and the Queen of the real 1:27:00.400 --> 1:27:04.760 estate chunkle, it's real estate time, which Michelle Sloan on 1:27:04.960 --> 1:27:08.400 seven hundred della weljewy. 1:27:07.400 --> 1:27:10.240 Good morning, what's going on? Life of mine? 1:27:10.680 --> 1:27:13.719 How are you? I am just you know what. I 1:27:13.760 --> 1:27:17.400 am getting ready for the big storm. So I'm doing 1:27:17.479 --> 1:27:22.479 my search of the internet and the innerweb for the 1:27:22.520 --> 1:27:26.920 best crack pot soup recipes, and right now I'm sort 1:27:26.960 --> 1:27:30.280 of fixating on like a Keethburger soup. Ever heard of that? 1:27:34.320 --> 1:27:37.000 I gotta say this on the heels because you are 1:27:37.040 --> 1:27:42.160 a notorious for a woman of your age, notorious TikTok aficionado. 1:27:42.360 --> 1:27:45.160 And I get home the other day and she is, 1:27:45.760 --> 1:27:47.360 what do we have for dinner? I thought I'd make 1:27:47.439 --> 1:27:49.400 some sushi. Now, looked at her, kind of gave her 1:27:49.400 --> 1:27:52.120 the side. I like, well, first of all, I sushi's awesome, 1:27:52.120 --> 1:27:54.640 but I've never seen you roll sushi. You don't have 1:27:54.680 --> 1:27:56.599 a sushi met you don't have the tools, you don't 1:27:56.640 --> 1:28:00.080 have the knowledge, like I don't. I don't know if 1:28:00.080 --> 1:28:02.000 I eat sushi that you made, I don't think that's 1:28:02.000 --> 1:28:02.519 a good idea. 1:28:02.800 --> 1:28:03.640 It's like no, no, no no. 1:28:03.720 --> 1:28:06.240 I saw this recipe on TikTok and I went, oh 1:28:06.320 --> 1:28:07.519 my god, not not this. 1:28:07.640 --> 1:28:10.840 It's called it's called a sushi bake, And you have 1:28:11.000 --> 1:28:13.400 to admit you were very very skeptical. 1:28:13.120 --> 1:28:16.920 Was extremely skeptical of it because like, what, what's what? 1:28:16.960 --> 1:28:19.360 My god, what's in a tune to bake? Well? You 1:28:19.439 --> 1:28:20.800 cook some rice like like. 1:28:20.760 --> 1:28:23.800 It's a sushi baked rice, plain. 1:28:23.560 --> 1:28:24.679 White rice like okay? 1:28:24.920 --> 1:28:27.400 Then what then you get some tuna fish, oh dear lord, 1:28:27.960 --> 1:28:30.439 and then some fake what is the artificial crab? 1:28:30.520 --> 1:28:30.720 Leg? 1:28:30.720 --> 1:28:31.280 Okay? 1:28:32.160 --> 1:28:35.160 And then well then you bake it like holy hell, 1:28:35.760 --> 1:28:38.360 this is going to be awful, and actually was It 1:28:38.400 --> 1:28:38.960 wasn't bad. 1:28:39.120 --> 1:28:41.760 It wasn't bad, right, it was not bad. Although the 1:28:41.880 --> 1:28:45.679 problem is there's just two of us and there's only 1:28:45.760 --> 1:28:47.760 so much sushi bake that you can eat. 1:28:47.920 --> 1:28:51.160 Correct. Yeah, yeah, your portion control. That's why I'm fat. 1:28:53.720 --> 1:28:56.200 So I'm thinking we might try this. You know, we're 1:28:56.200 --> 1:28:59.680 going to be locked in, so you you, along with 1:29:00.000 --> 1:29:03.639 every other person in the entire tri state area, you're 1:29:03.680 --> 1:29:06.800 going to be at Kroger or Meyer or wherever you're 1:29:06.840 --> 1:29:10.680 going to shop today because everybody's getting ready for the biggest. 1:29:10.840 --> 1:29:12.960 Well, the other thing is literally we have went to 1:29:12.960 --> 1:29:14.840 make dinner last night. I had cereal because we have 1:29:14.880 --> 1:29:18.280 nothing in our house, so my my bad friend, because 1:29:18.320 --> 1:29:19.720 you're still laid up with the knee thing. 1:29:19.760 --> 1:29:21.080 So I got to go out and maybe get a 1:29:21.080 --> 1:29:22.040 little some groceries. 1:29:22.880 --> 1:29:23.559 I'm still not. 1:29:23.520 --> 1:29:29.200 Quite driving yet, so that causes some issues with getting 1:29:29.240 --> 1:29:30.280 some more food in the house. 1:29:30.360 --> 1:29:33.599 You want to cheer a change and cheeseburger soup sounds stupid. 1:29:34.720 --> 1:29:37.479 No, it's not. I don't think it is. I'll send 1:29:37.479 --> 1:29:43.360 you the recipe. It's really not that hard. 1:29:43.680 --> 1:29:45.800 Like, I don't know. It seems like chicken seems the 1:29:45.840 --> 1:29:50.080 way to go. I like chicken soup, chicken soup, practice 1:29:50.960 --> 1:29:53.040 some chili. I don't know what to do some it 1:29:53.040 --> 1:29:54.639 feels like a crock pot kind of weekend. 1:29:54.640 --> 1:29:55.519 For sure, you got it. 1:29:57.880 --> 1:29:59.559 I'm good with it. I'm good with all right now. 1:29:59.680 --> 1:30:02.639 Looking actually, I love the storms on the weekend because 1:30:02.640 --> 1:30:06.280 there's there's you haven't a reason not to do anything, 1:30:06.320 --> 1:30:07.960 not to go up, Like, I don't feel as bad 1:30:08.000 --> 1:30:09.840 sitting inside in front of a TV. 1:30:09.880 --> 1:30:10.799 Although you got football. 1:30:11.080 --> 1:30:11.919 It is perfect. 1:30:12.000 --> 1:30:12.160 Yep. 1:30:12.320 --> 1:30:19.080 We can snuggle up, have some soup, watch Net for 1:30:19.160 --> 1:30:21.840 ex or some things something to give in. 1:30:22.200 --> 1:30:26.280 Yeah, go out and shovel the driveway a few dozen times. 1:30:26.320 --> 1:30:27.960 It should be good. So we got all this cold 1:30:27.960 --> 1:30:31.320 air moving in. We've got the latest models here. The 1:30:31.400 --> 1:30:34.280 latest models are showing uh maybe I don't know, in 1:30:34.360 --> 1:30:36.519 excess to ten inches of snow possible here. 1:30:36.600 --> 1:30:40.320 So six inches is what I saw too, depending on 1:30:40.400 --> 1:30:40.840 the area. 1:30:41.080 --> 1:30:42.759 All right, so what are we talking about. I'm guessing 1:30:42.760 --> 1:30:45.559 it's related to the storm besides your your recipes for. 1:30:45.880 --> 1:30:48.280 Oh yeah, rice casserole. 1:30:51.040 --> 1:30:54.639 It's a sushi breake. Get it right, it's a sushi 1:30:54.720 --> 1:30:55.519 b I was. 1:30:55.439 --> 1:30:57.840 Talking to Krumbley's a food eat Jack Crumley, and he's like, 1:30:58.560 --> 1:30:59.519 he goes man, I had the best aner. 1:30:59.520 --> 1:30:59.760 What do you have? 1:30:59.840 --> 1:31:02.759 I a rose? I mean you be chicken and rice? 1:31:03.200 --> 1:31:05.479 Yeah, well yeah, but it doesn't sound as good as 1:31:05.640 --> 1:31:07.240 a rosoil. 1:31:08.760 --> 1:31:11.760 Okay, and chicken and rice. It's pretty basic. I got it. 1:31:11.760 --> 1:31:12.040 Thanks. 1:31:12.439 --> 1:31:15.200 I Actually, so I do have some good information. I've 1:31:15.200 --> 1:31:18.439 got information from deep energy. A lot of people are 1:31:18.479 --> 1:31:23.679 struggling because the bills. We had a really cold snap 1:31:23.800 --> 1:31:27.679 in December, and with that cold snap, your January bill 1:31:27.840 --> 1:31:32.439 was bad. The relation, honestly, it was not good. And 1:31:32.520 --> 1:31:35.680 so a lot of people are really struggling. And you know, 1:31:35.720 --> 1:31:37.640 I thought i'd go over some of the things you 1:31:37.720 --> 1:31:41.519 can do. You know, I saw online somebody saying that 1:31:42.600 --> 1:31:45.519 they put on their parker to watch TV. So they 1:31:45.880 --> 1:31:49.479 just because the first thing that duke, the first thing 1:31:49.520 --> 1:31:53.360 that Duke says is a just or program your thermostat 1:31:53.439 --> 1:31:57.639 to the lowest comfortable setting. Well, the lowest comfortable setting. 1:31:57.640 --> 1:32:00.599 Our nephew, I think, what did he say? He turns 1:32:00.640 --> 1:32:04.760 his heat down to like sixty three years? 1:32:04.760 --> 1:32:06.599 Oh no, it's fifty five. 1:32:06.760 --> 1:32:07.160 He had it. 1:32:07.240 --> 1:32:08.880 I'm like fifty five. 1:32:11.560 --> 1:32:15.360 Okay, that's too low. You do have a risk of potentially, 1:32:15.960 --> 1:32:18.759 you know, some frozen pipes, which we want to avoid 1:32:18.800 --> 1:32:22.799 at all costs. Leave your doors open, on your cabinets 1:32:22.800 --> 1:32:25.160 if you're on an outside wall. Those kinds of things 1:32:25.160 --> 1:32:26.040 are very important. 1:32:26.400 --> 1:32:28.400 Might as well just go sleep out under the bushes. 1:32:28.439 --> 1:32:31.200 At that point, with that, you can make an egg 1:32:31.240 --> 1:32:32.840 gloo maybe. 1:32:33.280 --> 1:32:35.200 And it retains heat, believe it or not. A snow 1:32:35.240 --> 1:32:36.679 cave will it does? 1:32:36.720 --> 1:32:36.760 It? 1:32:36.840 --> 1:32:37.080 Does? 1:32:37.280 --> 1:32:37.759 It does? 1:32:38.520 --> 1:32:38.640 So. 1:32:38.840 --> 1:32:42.160 A couple of other helpful tips are manage your water heater. 1:32:43.120 --> 1:32:46.360 And you probably know this more than I do. You know, 1:32:46.439 --> 1:32:49.880 normally we cut our water heater at what one hundred 1:32:49.880 --> 1:32:55.519 and twenty degrees? Sure sounds about right. You can lower 1:32:55.560 --> 1:32:58.320 it just a little bit. That way, you're not constantly 1:32:58.400 --> 1:33:01.880 regenerating and keeping that hot water in your tank. You 1:33:01.880 --> 1:33:03.400 don't want to turn it down too low because you 1:33:03.400 --> 1:33:05.479 don't want to mess with the plane if you've got gas, 1:33:05.920 --> 1:33:07.360 So you know, be careful there. 1:33:08.040 --> 1:33:08.880 I don't know about that. 1:33:08.920 --> 1:33:10.400 You know about those things. 1:33:11.760 --> 1:33:14.080 Yeah, you default to me, is what you're saying. 1:33:14.160 --> 1:33:17.120 I do, I do. But you can definitely turn that down, 1:33:17.240 --> 1:33:17.839 just to scoach. 1:33:19.200 --> 1:33:21.960 Checking your windows and doors, like you know exactly what 1:33:22.000 --> 1:33:23.040 the temperature is. 1:33:23.320 --> 1:33:24.880 You know, it's hard unless you got. 1:33:24.720 --> 1:33:26.519 Th Mom, I don't think you can can you. 1:33:26.600 --> 1:33:29.000 Yeah, I mean you can get up to one forties, 1:33:29.360 --> 1:33:32.400 but yeah, anything higher than that you start to you know, 1:33:32.439 --> 1:33:35.160 you start to risk burns and stuff like that. 1:33:35.240 --> 1:33:39.559 But I mean that's what you can trigger down. Here's 1:33:39.560 --> 1:33:42.280 something that you did in the last week. You actually 1:33:42.280 --> 1:33:45.519 added some weather stripping to one of our doors that 1:33:45.680 --> 1:33:49.840 was whistling like crazy with the high winds. And I 1:33:49.880 --> 1:33:53.759 can tell already you know that cuts out. It will definitely. 1:33:54.320 --> 1:33:58.000 Even Duke says that calking ceiling weather stripping leaks can 1:33:58.040 --> 1:34:02.639 say ten to twenty percent in heating costs, So that's 1:34:02.680 --> 1:34:05.879 a big deal. Close the rooms that you're not using 1:34:06.680 --> 1:34:09.599 and turn you could turn off those events in rooms 1:34:09.600 --> 1:34:11.479 that you're you know, like bedrooms if you're not using 1:34:11.520 --> 1:34:14.519 all the bedrooms and that sort of thing that can 1:34:14.560 --> 1:34:18.519 help the other thing, which I've always been really skeptical about. 1:34:18.680 --> 1:34:22.479 But you know, who am I to? You know, I 1:34:22.520 --> 1:34:25.000 don't know challenge this, but. 1:34:25.200 --> 1:34:28.599 Your entire life has been about challenging everything. I could say, wow, 1:34:28.640 --> 1:34:31.840 the sunrise is nice to you say, no, it's not you. 1:34:32.320 --> 1:34:35.000 But yeah, who are you to, Chale? I never challenge 1:34:36.320 --> 1:34:36.959 the experts? 1:34:37.120 --> 1:34:37.960 Holy crap. 1:34:39.680 --> 1:34:42.479 The woman who continually tries to reinvent stuff like, No, 1:34:42.560 --> 1:34:44.679 they've been doing it this way. There's a reason why 1:34:44.800 --> 1:34:47.559 you do it this way is because well I think 1:34:47.600 --> 1:34:50.120 they're wrong. Yeah, literally hundreds of years of them doing 1:34:50.120 --> 1:34:52.559 it this way. You're the one who's going to reinvent 1:34:52.600 --> 1:34:55.200 this thing. You know nothing about it. Let me sit 1:34:55.280 --> 1:34:57.200 back and let me sit back and watch how this 1:34:57.240 --> 1:34:57.720 works out. 1:34:58.000 --> 1:35:01.800 Okay, So how about unplus electronics and they're not in use. 1:35:02.640 --> 1:35:05.959 We have a lot of stuff plugged in, right, especially 1:35:06.000 --> 1:35:08.920 appliances in our kitchen that you don't use every day. 1:35:09.680 --> 1:35:14.799 So the experts, I do get it. You say, unplugged 1:35:14.840 --> 1:35:18.519 the electronics that are not in use. And again this 1:35:18.720 --> 1:35:20.840 is to me, you're not going to unplug your TV 1:35:20.960 --> 1:35:21.920 every time you turn it on. 1:35:23.640 --> 1:35:23.920 Charge. 1:35:27.080 --> 1:35:29.000 I said, there's settings in your TV if you don't 1:35:29.000 --> 1:35:30.760 want the phantom power on as much. 1:35:30.800 --> 1:35:36.640 But yeah, coffee maker first us. But then if you 1:35:36.720 --> 1:35:40.639 have a coffee maker like ours that has it's got 1:35:40.680 --> 1:35:44.120 a reservoir that's heated, you know it's always running. So 1:35:44.400 --> 1:35:47.920 but you have to decide if you have appliances that 1:35:48.000 --> 1:35:50.559 you don't use all the time and you have on 1:35:50.600 --> 1:35:54.160 your counter or plugged in in your bedroom or wherever, 1:35:54.840 --> 1:35:57.360 you can unplug that when you're not using it. Just 1:35:57.439 --> 1:35:59.920 remember then when you go to use it, you're like, first, 1:36:00.080 --> 1:36:01.439 kind of this thing doesn't work. 1:36:01.600 --> 1:36:03.839 Right, it's because it's not plugged. 1:36:03.840 --> 1:36:06.360 The check that that's the first. 1:36:06.560 --> 1:36:06.760 First. 1:36:07.160 --> 1:36:08.400 Everything draws a little bit of power. 1:36:08.400 --> 1:36:09.600 I mean, you know, if you have a printer in 1:36:09.640 --> 1:36:13.759 your home office, you have that you mentioned TVs. 1:36:13.040 --> 1:36:14.559 Yeah, they're just a little bit of trickle. 1:36:14.560 --> 1:36:16.680 But again, if you have so many devices plugged in 1:36:16.840 --> 1:36:19.120 you it's the old adage of you got enough crumbs, 1:36:19.160 --> 1:36:21.320 you make a loaf, and you want to do why's 1:36:21.360 --> 1:36:22.000 my electric bill? 1:36:22.040 --> 1:36:22.360 So hight. 1:36:22.400 --> 1:36:24.400 Well, you've got all these little to draw very little 1:36:24.439 --> 1:36:28.200 amverage that are all kind of on standby mode that 1:36:28.240 --> 1:36:30.080 are causing that power bill. But I don't know if 1:36:30.080 --> 1:36:32.280 I want to round run around unplugging stuff all the 1:36:32.320 --> 1:36:32.800 time either. 1:36:32.840 --> 1:36:36.760 So no, you have to decide what's important. And it's 1:36:37.240 --> 1:36:38.960 a lot of people like you said, I don't want 1:36:38.960 --> 1:36:40.840 to make light of this, because there are a lot 1:36:40.920 --> 1:36:43.559 of people who are struggling. Oh yes, sir, and looking 1:36:43.880 --> 1:36:48.120 and looking for ways to cut back. That's important. And 1:36:48.160 --> 1:36:51.120 then maybe you need some serious assistance because you can't 1:36:51.160 --> 1:36:54.559 pay your bills. So there are definitely some things that 1:36:54.640 --> 1:36:58.519 you can do, call your electric providers a stup or whoever. 1:36:59.439 --> 1:37:03.439 That oftentimes there's an installment plan. You can get an 1:37:03.479 --> 1:37:06.680 extension up to ten days. That may not help you. 1:37:07.200 --> 1:37:10.320 If your bill went from two hundred and fifty dollars 1:37:10.360 --> 1:37:13.559 to five hundred and fifty dollars, which I've seen that 1:37:13.760 --> 1:37:17.680 happen over the last month, you know that little ten 1:37:17.760 --> 1:37:20.680 day extension may not make a big difference if you're 1:37:20.720 --> 1:37:24.800 on the if you have a limited income. So, but 1:37:24.920 --> 1:37:28.160 budget billing could very well help because there are sometimes 1:37:28.160 --> 1:37:30.160 of the year where your bill is not as high 1:37:30.600 --> 1:37:32.720 as it maybe it is in the winter. So if 1:37:32.760 --> 1:37:35.439 you have budget billing and even things out a little bit, 1:37:35.520 --> 1:37:38.960 it doesn't you know what to expect each and every month, 1:37:39.360 --> 1:37:41.479 and that's something that you have to ask for. It 1:37:41.520 --> 1:37:45.320 doesn't just happen automatically, so you may have to do 1:37:45.400 --> 1:37:48.280 a little bit of research. There are also some payment 1:37:48.320 --> 1:37:53.439 assistance programs which I think are really helpful. The very 1:37:53.439 --> 1:37:55.760 easiest one that you can do is to go to 1:37:56.040 --> 1:38:00.040 two one one org. It's a free service that I 1:37:59.840 --> 1:38:03.120 can identify community agencies that help like. 1:38:05.640 --> 1:38:07.680 It's the number two, the number one, the number one 1:38:07.720 --> 1:38:10.720 two eleven dot org correct two one one. 1:38:11.400 --> 1:38:14.000 It's actually through the United Way. You can also call 1:38:14.160 --> 1:38:17.240 to one one and you'll get United Way one of 1:38:17.280 --> 1:38:20.880 the quickest ways because they obviously have a number of resources. 1:38:21.560 --> 1:38:24.120 But the problem is too, just like food banks, a 1:38:24.120 --> 1:38:27.200 lot of our resources are depleted. So a lot of 1:38:27.240 --> 1:38:30.360 these salvation armies and the different kinds of places that 1:38:30.439 --> 1:38:34.240 are available to Catholic charities, they only have a limited 1:38:34.240 --> 1:38:38.360 amount of assistance to go around, and they will do 1:38:38.479 --> 1:38:41.080 their due diligence. I've had I've had a couple of 1:38:41.160 --> 1:38:44.799 companies call me because our renters were having a difficult 1:38:44.800 --> 1:38:48.439 time making ends meet, and again I understand this, but 1:38:48.520 --> 1:38:51.160 they will check to see, hey are they really behind, 1:38:51.400 --> 1:38:54.160 do they really have income, do they really you know, 1:38:54.439 --> 1:38:57.840 are they telling the truth. And that's the thing. There 1:38:57.880 --> 1:39:00.240 some people out there that are looking to scam get 1:39:00.240 --> 1:39:04.280 this free money and or the free assistance, and they 1:39:04.320 --> 1:39:07.320 don't really need it, so it's really hurting the people 1:39:07.720 --> 1:39:12.320 who need the assistance. So to me, that really kind 1:39:12.360 --> 1:39:14.559 of breaks my heart. But I'm going to have all 1:39:14.640 --> 1:39:20.400 of the lists that's the different local assistants, companies, charities, 1:39:20.520 --> 1:39:23.200 things like that available. I'm going to put it on 1:39:23.200 --> 1:39:25.760 my website and on my Facebook page so you can 1:39:25.760 --> 1:39:29.240 take a look at those and you know, contact your provider. 1:39:29.520 --> 1:39:33.280 That's really important. But there I definitely some serious things 1:39:33.280 --> 1:39:38.280 you can do. Thankfully, we're in Cincinnati, so the cold 1:39:38.320 --> 1:39:41.160 weather we're going to have a stretch of the next 1:39:41.200 --> 1:39:44.280 what at least couple of weeks. It's winter after all. 1:39:45.680 --> 1:39:47.960 But the other thing is too if you are you 1:39:48.000 --> 1:39:50.000 want to be a good neighbor. This is part of 1:39:50.080 --> 1:39:54.839 being a person. A good person. Check on your people 1:39:54.960 --> 1:39:57.840 that are next to you, the older people in your lives. 1:39:58.200 --> 1:40:01.000 If they're not your relatives. So what if you have 1:40:01.120 --> 1:40:04.000 the means and the ability to help somebody out, ask 1:40:04.080 --> 1:40:06.600 them if they have food, make sure that they're not 1:40:06.760 --> 1:40:09.760 using their oven for heat, you know, things like that, 1:40:10.040 --> 1:40:13.760 or the space heaters. There's a lot of fires this 1:40:13.880 --> 1:40:16.280 time of year, and over the next weekend. I'm sure 1:40:16.320 --> 1:40:19.960 there's a lot of firefighters who are really really concerned 1:40:20.560 --> 1:40:23.240 because it's dangerous for them. It's also dangerous for the 1:40:23.280 --> 1:40:25.320 people in their homes who are trying to eat with 1:40:25.360 --> 1:40:30.240 the alternative heat sources that may not be as safe 1:40:30.560 --> 1:40:33.519 as just your conventional. 1:40:34.520 --> 1:40:35.040 Right, right. 1:40:35.160 --> 1:40:39.240 So the important thing here is again the list. As 1:40:39.240 --> 1:40:41.200 you said, this is an exhaustive list you put together. 1:40:41.280 --> 1:40:43.280 I'm looking at right now. It's actually really really well done. 1:40:43.479 --> 1:40:46.720 Good job on that help people out who you know 1:40:46.800 --> 1:40:48.000 may not have the means to do this. And I 1:40:48.000 --> 1:40:52.360 think pride sometimes also ignorance are two factors where you go, hey, listen, 1:40:52.360 --> 1:40:55.479 if I just throw this dukebill out and kick the cary, 1:40:55.560 --> 1:40:56.960 I don't want to talk about it. I want to 1:40:56.960 --> 1:40:59.040 think about it. I will address it. It's not going 1:40:59.080 --> 1:41:01.840 to turn out well. And again, they will work with you, 1:41:01.960 --> 1:41:04.400 and I think they're required to do so. If you 1:41:04.439 --> 1:41:07.000 can't pay your bill, and you know, simply turning it 1:41:07.040 --> 1:41:09.479 off is not an option, especially with this implement whether 1:41:09.520 --> 1:41:11.040 the deep cold we're about to get with a little 1:41:11.080 --> 1:41:13.439 snow in that too, So you know you have to 1:41:13.479 --> 1:41:15.880 be able to proactive and go, hey, listen, you know, 1:41:15.920 --> 1:41:17.800 maybe I lost my job, or there's health issues or 1:41:18.040 --> 1:41:19.599 money I don't have enough. 1:41:20.400 --> 1:41:21.519 What should I do? Where could I go? 1:41:21.560 --> 1:41:23.160 There's plenty of people that want to help you, but 1:41:23.200 --> 1:41:25.519 you got to ask and maybe put the pride aside, 1:41:25.520 --> 1:41:28.120 but also the fact you simply can't ignore it. It's 1:41:28.160 --> 1:41:29.920 not going to make it go away. To make it worse, 1:41:29.960 --> 1:41:35.320 you get a disconnect this weekend. It's certainly not advantageous 1:41:35.320 --> 1:41:35.799 for anybody. 1:41:35.800 --> 1:41:36.880 They don't want to do that. 1:41:37.920 --> 1:41:38.120 Now. 1:41:38.120 --> 1:41:40.720 It's easy to vilify big companies, but if you work 1:41:40.760 --> 1:41:41.400 with them, they'll. 1:41:41.280 --> 1:41:43.679 Work with you exactly. 1:41:43.720 --> 1:41:45.200 You don't want to just bury your head in the 1:41:45.680 --> 1:41:49.639 snow drift as it were a work And yeah, that's right, 1:41:49.680 --> 1:41:50.000 all right? 1:41:50.479 --> 1:41:52.840 So all this is up on your page? Where is it? 1:41:54.040 --> 1:41:56.360 I'm going to have it on soon sell homes dot 1:41:56.400 --> 1:41:59.800 com and I'll do it on my Facebook page.
