WEBVTT - Rocky & Jason -- 12/2/25 0:00:02.080 --> 0:00:02.440 Here we go. 0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:05.239 It is Eddie and Rocky Show. Eddie's out. I'm alongside 0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:08.119 Jason Williams. And Jason, you brought this to my attention 0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:11.200 yesterday and I thought it was interesting, and uh so 0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:13.560 we're going to talk about it. I didn't know this. 0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:16.880 I've been a lot of folks that live in Cincinnati 0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:20.239 did not know this. But uh, there is uh you know, 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:24.919 the new Convention Hotel, a big, big project right. Well 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:27.880 apparently it's just I guess gone through a committee here. 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.680 A proposal is going to add a one percent fee 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:36.560 to bills at some downtown Cincinnati restaurants to help fund 0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:39.199 the new hotel. That's not just a dollar on you. 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:41.760 It's a one percent if you're eating at a really 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:45.400 nice restaurant, that's that's a chunk of change there. And 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:47.519 why did I bring this to your attention, rock Because 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:51.280 anytime there's an extra fee or a tax, it's raised. Man, 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:56.279 and I learned the same things, especially on things like this. 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:59.440 It's like and I know, like people will say, well, 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:02.320 we did figure out how to pay for it. Uh 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:07.800 you know, they'll say, this is a user fee. So yeah, 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:09.800 I know, I know, I know what they're thinking. I 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:12.160 know they who are the folks who are you know, 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.920 who are the leaders who are thinking this are like, oh, well, 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.160 out of towners will pay this, you know, it's like 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.800 the hotel tax, like, well, those are mostly out of town, 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:23.560 those are convention goers. Those are people coming in from uh, 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.000 you know, Columbus to go to a Bengals game. Like 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:27.959 they won't even notice it on their bill. And most 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:32.440 people don't really notice these things. Yeah, I can kind 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:34.399 of see the argument on both sides on this. Just 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:38.040 so it's not an extra, it's not another tax. Well 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:42.000 it's on you, and well it could be though. He's 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.440 coming up here right uh. And then yeah, we're gonna 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:46.720 bring on our good friend Jim mooreing. Of course we 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:47.200 love him. 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:50.760 He's an owner of purveyor, dominator of the Holy Grail. 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:55.000 He's a good down he's good to us, Santa You, Cincinnati, 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.800 there's no doubt about it. And Jim, welcome on the program, buddy, 0:01:57.800 --> 0:01:59.480 how are you? 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.280 We don't gents on this snowy Tuesday. 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.440 We're good. We are good. So now I don't I 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:09.120 don't believe that this is going to affect your businesses 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.760 because it's just a certain area. So the district boundaries 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:16.000 where they're gonna potentially add this one percent taxes Central 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.120 Avenue to Main Street and Third Street to Seventh Street. 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:21.640 So I believe you're out of that, but I mean 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.079 you've seen things like this, you know, kind of come 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.160 your way and include you what's your thoughts on this? 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:33.119 So you know we are not in this district, we're 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:33.840 outside of it. 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:38.080 But you know what, we we essentially have the exact 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.880 same program that we did down the banks, but we 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:44.880 did it voluntarily, So we essentially have a one percent 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.160 you know, you can call it tax, you can call 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.760 it a up charge, whatever you want to say. We 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:56.520 enacted this back six years ago now, so in nineteen 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.680 I think it was as a marketing aspect of it, 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.760 and we did it as hey, we want to capture 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:07.160 some dollars to market our area, get the exposure going. 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.800 And you know, once we started doing. 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.120 It, we realized that we had, you know, a very 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.720 good synergy amongst all the businesses down there to enact 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:21.040 a bunch of different things. A couple of them are 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.320 you know, we brought the Saint Patrick's Parade back to 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:28.480 the banks. We philanthropically will give money away to you know, 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:32.200 the full of air plunge. You know, we spread it 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.080 out amongst the things that we want to do. But 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.800 there's also a marketing aspect to it, in a marketing 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.960 arm that all of us embraced and said, you know, 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:44.640 as one as the saying goes, you know, tides raise 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:45.240 all boats. 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.520 And what we wanted to do was elevate the banks. 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:51.400 And how we enacted it is I would assume what 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.320 these guys are going to try to do up there. 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:58.040 We voluntarily decided, okay, we can either put it on 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:02.360 a check or we just eat it. Some of us us, 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.160 you know, being the holy Grail, we just eat it. 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.960 We understand it to cost doing business. We approved that, 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:13.120 we understood it. Other places didn't have that same luxury. 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.800 And if you're a publicly traded company, I found out 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:20.080 through this process you can't just quote unquote eat it. 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.480 You have to be fully full disclosure. 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:24.880 So they put it on checks. 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.200 So some of the places down to the banks have 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:28.400 to put it on people's check. 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:34.600 I've noticed, I think you what's the yard house? I 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:35.520 think puts it on there? 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:35.839 Right? 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.000 Yeah, so your house a part of garden. They have 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:42.360 to has to a couple of other ones. 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.599 We you know, we understood what it was, know what 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.880 it was, so we stopped, never passed it along. We 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.440 just understood it as one percent that we think expands 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.960 all the businesses down there, you know, for the hotel. 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:02.120 I understand it, and I understand people's trepidation with it, 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:07.760 but the reality is these businesses will expand if this 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:11.960 project moves forward. There's a funding gap here, and I 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.080 think there's been a funny gap for it for a while. 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.720 It's innovative, it's creative, and depending. 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.200 On what side you want to fall on, you can say, hey, yeah, 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:21.600 you can. 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:25.880 See it as another tax, or if you're a prospective business. 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.120 Looking at it, saying, you know what, I think. 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.919 The hotel, if it's two blocks away, three blocks away, 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:34.040 associated with the convention center, is going to bring our 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:37.760 business up another twenty twenty five, thirty forty percent or 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:42.200 my businesses based on this, then it makes sense. So 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.240 I think I think the voluntary side of this, to 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.200 me makes all the sense. 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.960 In the world. You know, on that standpoint, they're not 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:50.280 they're not jamming it down. 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:53.240 Anybody's broke the say hey you want to help out, 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.839 help out. If you don't, don't we understand it and 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:58.840 they already have some businesses committed. 0:05:58.520 --> 0:05:58.920 To doing that. 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.560 Jim, that's good stuff, good perspective, and you know, not 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.080 only I mean you've you you're you're one of the 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.760 great business owners in downtown. With the holy Grail you've done. 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:13.440 You've been working in downtown for a long time. You've seen, uh, 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.320 with the work you've done over at the arena, you've 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:20.360 seen anything and everything proposed. When it comes to these 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:25.240 types of things, generally does you don't probably don't get 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:31.720 a lot of pushback right from customers slash uh you know, uh, 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.960 you know, I guess taxpayers or in this case it's 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:38.240 be more customers, but there's probably not a lot of 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:39.160 pushback right. 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:41.160 Well. 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:45.880 You know, I think as we've seen creep and things. 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.040 Coming at our back door get more and more expensive, yep, 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:50.400 people start to look at it more and more. 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.400 And that's you know, unfortunately happened over the last couple 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:53.839 of years. 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:59.120 But you know, we try to keep ourselves affordable, so 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.160 we we're kind of a different business model. I think 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.560 the higher end place is the ones where you know, 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.000 to your point, I don't think anybody's going to notice 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:11.600 that our five dollars beer you know is have we 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:12.120 raised it? 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.560 We went to five oh five for a beer. It's 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:15.760 not like the old days. 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.360 You know, when I first started in its industry at paddies, 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:19.920 everything was cash. 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:21.440 And you know. 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.160 When you're at two dollars a beer and somebody had 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:27.440 twenty dollars bill and you're giving them back, you know, seventeen, sixteen, 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:32.160 eighteen dollars, whatever it is. People noticed it, I personally 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:35.440 and my family. I was actually with my brother Mike, 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.800 consistant multeen a little bit ago, and I was trying 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:42.760 to give this analogy the younger set. These days, it's 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:47.080 almost like the casino theory. You're right, casinos used to 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.559 be cash. They went to chips. They went to chips 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.840 because it's an inanimate object and you're placing that in 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.080 front of you and you don't equate it to what 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:56.520 it is. 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.920 Yeah, I certainly understand what you're saying. I think that 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.480 I always make that argument for why I like to 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:09.160 pay cash for certain things versus a car, because it 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.960 does it doesn't feel real. It's like, well, sure, if 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.760 it's ten dollars or twenty dollars, what's the difference. I'm 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.160 just gonna be the same swipe that the pain, Yeah, 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.760 the pain of actually pulling an extra ten bucks or 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.320 twenty bucks out of my wallet, that'll actually hit you. 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:29.120 So I guess my question for this instance, and we're 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:32.760 talking about you know, there's some business is adding a 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:36.280 one percent charge on their bill to pay for the 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:41.160 convention Hotel if you live within this district's boundaries in 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:45.520 some businesses. Again, according to this six downtown property owners 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.520 in about twenty eight of their tenants have signed up 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.319 and said, yes, we'll put that one percent charge on there. 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.040 They'll have to disclose that, but if you live in 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.679 that or your businesses within that area, you don't have 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.480 to write. So technically you could enjoy the benefits of 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:04.520 the hotel getting built faster and better without actually contributing 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:04.720 to this. 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:08.160 Right, that's correct, And I think one of the bigger 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.720 drivers I saw that, you know, Steve Lofton over at 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.800 the Aaronoff Center, agreed to put on a dollar per ticket. 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.160 I think that's big, you know, I think that for 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.360 the amount of people that they that they turned through there. 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:23.360 But you have to, you know, from my perspective, if 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:26.160 you want to see this hotel and the convention center, 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.880 look the County and the amount of money that they 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:34.040 spent on this is is mind boggling. But I think 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.640 the driver to it is real. So if you have 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:40.760 a business close by, specifically a restaurant, you know you're 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:42.360 going to look at it and say, my business is 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.360 going to grow. I want to do this right and 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:50.000 you know, but it is voluntary. I get it, but 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.559 it's not surprising to see the people who've already signed 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.760 up for it are good stewards for. 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:55.720 Our city to begin with. 0:09:56.280 --> 0:10:01.600 So you know, I literally when this came up, we 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.120 were there's a text chain going on amongst us, so 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.480 it's down the banks and my first thing was, Hey, 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:08.880 you think we can do one of these for them? 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:13.240 Re Ena and I got a bunch of thumbs ups, 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:14.079 So you. 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:17.240 Know, it's it's hey, if you're you want skin in 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.200 the game and you want to be responsible and you 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.600 want to drive something like this, you. 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:24.640 Know, I'm gonna say it's the cost of business, but 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.280 a lot of ways it's the cost of business. It's 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:30.000 in the end. Do I think the's got the folks. 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.280 Who are supporting are going to win without a doubt? 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:34.640 Is it maybe a tack? 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:36.400 Maybe maybe it is a tax. 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.040 I don't see it that way because of the way 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.800 we do things, but you know, you could, you could, 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:43.559 you could definitely say that that's the case. 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.000 Jim Moore is our guest, the owner of the Holy 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:49.400 Grailed Downtown, and I guess just to play the other side, Jim, 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:53.199 I mean, your industry, in my opinion, has it harder 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:56.800 than any industry out there, especially since COVID. I mean, 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.240 it's it was you know, people can't you can't go 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.400 and eat and rest your and then it was the 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.880 price of food and the price of chicken wings, and 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.520 then it was this. It was that. I mean, at 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.920 some at what point or if you ever noticed at 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:10.800 any point in your career a point where people are 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.040 just like, you know what, that's it. I can't do 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:17.040 this anymore. I can't do or you, as a business owner, say, 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.840 got just every little add on you know that this fee, 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:24.240 that fee. Is there ever a saturation point where people 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:26.040 that you've seen us say, you know what, Nope, I'm 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.040 not doing I'm not eating there, I'm not drinking there. 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:33.160 Yes, And I think I think everybody in our industry 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:37.920 is frustrated by it. You've watched your margins continually get crushed. 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:40.960 You know, the old adage of you're chasing dollars to 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:44.760 make pennies in the restaurant industry is true where it's 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:48.160 really frustrating. It's an independent restaurant when you see the 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:51.240 chain to have the buying ability and the buying power 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:52.800 to be able to do the things that they're doing. 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:54.720 Yeah, it does get frustrating. 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:55.640 It is. 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.439 You know, you're you're constantly combating. 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.880 It on every level that you can, and you try 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.800 to do everything you can and push every to every 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.080 level that you can to make sure that. 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:08.920 Your business is successful. 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:12.240 And I would not I'd be lying to you if 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.120 I didn't say, yeah, there's been more than a couple 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.319 of times I'm like, what am I doing? 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.400 Gimeral? Oh go ahead, go ahead? 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.200 No good, No, sorry, real quick, I want to ask 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.800 you just what it was the last week, couple of 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:31.719 weeks ago that there's an announcement of some an idea or 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.880 a proposal to complete the banks and do other things. 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.760 Not asking you to comment on that necessarily, but as 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.760 a successful business that has withstood the test of time 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.839 and all the challenges at the banks, what's the most 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:47.400 important thing that needs to be built at the banks 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:51.439 to then help sustain all everybody else, including Holy Grail. 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:59.240 I would like there to be our priority number one, 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:02.240 and I think the city understand that is security. 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:09.360 Right now, hands down security, building wise, Anything that brings 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:14.360 density to our area is fantastic, and it doesn't matter 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:19.520 what that is. You know, there's different proposals. Unfortunately I 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:20.600 wasn't in on any of those. 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.640 I didn't get to see that or have input into that. 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:28.040 I understand what everybody's trying to do, anything that they 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.320 can do to bring density to the area. 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:32.520 Sustainable density. 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:34.839 And I don't know if that's apartments, I don't know 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:36.040 if that's condominiums. 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:38.839 I truly you know at once, you know, I. 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.080 Had this happen prior to twenty twenty one to said 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.319 off the buildings, we need more office buildings, We need 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:47.680 the office tenants, get the density going. And obviously that 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.840 is not the case these days, or at least you don't 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:52.920 feel like it is unless you you know, you see 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.160 a crower that's going back to work five days a week. 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.120 Fifth third, you know that the companies in Cincinnati that 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.480 are saying, hey, we understand we need a thriving downtown 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:03.560 and to support that we're going to have our folks 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.040 go back to work, you know, five days, four days 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:06.360 a week. 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:07.319 That's been great. 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:11.960 To answer your question bluntly, anything that's sustainable that brings 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:13.920 people down there, I think it's great. 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:14.160 Yeah. 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:16.720 And one of the biggest, uh, I think factors for 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.480 a man and a woman has a family is we 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.720 want to make sure wherever we go it's safe. So 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:24.000 that makes uh, that makes it tough to live there 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:26.920 or you're visiting there, right right? Great stuff?

Oh yeah, 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:56.200 it's there's no school. 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:58.960 It's a big doing. Okay, So you guys are kids 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:00.800 school age kids.

But yeah, so I'm fine with 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:29.240 it as long as it isn't all the time. And 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:31.639 to your point, yeah, I wonder if is it like 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:34.400 a bus thing where like the one two hour delay thing, 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:36.720 as it affects the bust scene and they just sound 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:38.080 heck with it, you know. 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:38.520 I don't know. 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:41.560 Maybe it messes up parents who have to get to work. 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:43.760 They'd rather just feel like just cancel the day. I 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:46.520 don't I don't know, Yeah, I know, like my coaker 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:49.280 Adrian said that his son was outside playing this all day, 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:50.800 and I'm like, well, he's going to sleep well to 0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:53.480 night and that is sort of a benefit. Don't you 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:56.679 think they get some good fresh air running around in snow. 0:19:56.960 --> 0:20:00.320 It's like it's good.

And I grew up in southeast Ohio in 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:19.320 the foothills like windy country roads, so like when it's 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:21.080 snow because I had to ride a bus for forty 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:25.200 five minutes to school, so when it's snows, right, yeah, backwards, 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:27.199 so when it's snowed there you got it because they 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:29.240 didn't get some of our back roads for a while. 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:33.400 But you know, we live in civilization here in Cincinnati, 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:38.760 And uh, I mean, are we is it just my imagination? 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:42.199 I did live in Minnesota for three years, and or 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:44.879 are we just bigger whimps about it nowadays? 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:47.800 Is it just me? Or is this a real thing? 0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:50.359 I mean I went to freaking Town High School? 0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:53.360 Okay, Yeah, so there were no like if there were 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:55.879 buses to any town. I'm sure some kids road buses, 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:58.600 but we didn't. We had to either walk or get 0:20:58.600 --> 0:20:59.040 a ride. 0:20:59.240 --> 0:20:59.440 Right. 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.080 It was just it's like a bedroom community.

It's no doubt. Well, 0:31:15.720 --> 0:31:18.880 Happy Birthday to the King and how the News seven 0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:22.920 hundred WLW News, Traffic and Weather. 0:31:23.520 --> 0:31:28.800 News Radio seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati. 0:31:28.840 --> 0:31:33.120 Talking money. The full rollback this year means just partial 0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:36.360 next year. With the four o'clock report, I'm Jack Crumley 0:31:36.440 --> 0:31:40.920 breaking now. Hamilton County commissioners met today finalizing the decision 0:31:41.240 --> 0:31:45.200 about how much of a property tax rollback or PTR 0:31:45.520 --> 0:31:47.760 homeowners are going to get next year in the deal 0:31:47.800 --> 0:31:51.880 that pays for the Stadium's County administrator, Jeffaludo, we would. 0:31:51.760 --> 0:31:56.360 Prefer to recommend a full PTR every single year. However, 0:31:56.400 --> 0:32:00.160 our primary concern has been ensuring that the county's general fine, 0:32:00.640 --> 0:32:03.360 which pays for sheriff's deputies, election workers and I'm one 0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:08.520 one operators, does not ultimately need to support the operations 0:32:08.520 --> 0:32:11.280 of Paper Stadium or Great American Baulpark, especially when the 0:32:11.280 --> 0:32:13.160 general fund is as strained as it is. 0:32:13.240 --> 0:32:16.080 He says, because the full rollback of thirty percent was 0:32:16.120 --> 0:32:18.719 given this past year, the reserves and the fund are 0:32:18.760 --> 0:32:21.480 now under fifty percent. To get them back up. Aludo 0:32:21.560 --> 0:32:24.320 says four and a half percent is all he can recommend. 0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:27.400 Commissioner Alisha resee, if you're fighting for the Bengals to 0:32:27.520 --> 0:32:30.720 keep their commitment, I'm fighting for the taxpayers to keep 0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:34.000 their commitment. It was irresponsible to give a commitment to 0:32:34.040 --> 0:32:37.480 the homeowners that it was an irresponsible commitment. 0:32:37.240 --> 0:32:38.400 To give to the stadium. 0:32:38.480 --> 0:32:40.840 She's now introduced a county wide petition for people to 0:32:40.920 --> 0:32:43.400 voice their support for the full rollback if that's what 0:32:43.440 --> 0:32:46.720 they support, though Reese hasn't said how both the stadium 0:32:46.760 --> 0:32:49.440 fund and the full rollback would be paid for. The 0:32:49.480 --> 0:32:52.160 other two commissioners voted in favor of giving back four 0:32:52.160 --> 0:32:54.960 and a half percent next year, with hopes of more 0:32:55.000 --> 0:32:57.680 in years to come. Reese will be Scott Sloan's guests 0:32:57.680 --> 0:32:59.920 tomorrow morning on the Big One.

And 0:36:50.040 --> 0:36:52.160 that was kind of your next bag, you know, that 0:36:52.360 --> 0:36:55.480 was you put some equity into it, and you improved it, 0:36:55.600 --> 0:36:57.680 and then somewhere down the line you'd be able to 0:36:57.680 --> 0:36:59.520 sell that and make a little bit of more money 0:36:59.560 --> 0:37:01.839 and then they'd buy a bigger house or a different house. 0:37:02.239 --> 0:37:02.439 Yep. 0:37:02.920 --> 0:37:05.080 But that doesn't seem the case to be the case 0:37:05.120 --> 0:37:08.240 anymore for a lot of reasons. And uh, I'm reading 0:37:08.239 --> 0:37:12.440 a lot about how younger folks gen zers are foregoing 0:37:12.840 --> 0:37:16.440 home and ownership to invest in the stock market. On 0:37:16.440 --> 0:37:18.759 one hand, the stock market's been on fire for the 0:37:18.800 --> 0:37:21.880 most part, but it's also very volatile. So is this 0:37:22.000 --> 0:37:25.480 a good strategy or not? And join us right now. 0:37:25.520 --> 0:37:27.799 We're pleased to be joined by Ron Glass guy. He's 0:37:27.840 --> 0:37:30.680 a financial strategist. He knows all about such things. Ron, 0:37:30.800 --> 0:37:32.239 Welcome to the program. How are you? 0:37:33.320 --> 0:37:35.080 I do great? Thank you very much for having me. 0:37:35.239 --> 0:37:38.040 All right, so first question, navigate the big one here. 0:37:38.120 --> 0:37:41.840 Is this a trend that you would recommend to people 0:37:42.400 --> 0:37:45.239 put off home ownership and instead just throw your money 0:37:45.239 --> 0:37:46.880 in the stock market and see what happens. 0:37:48.400 --> 0:37:48.640 Yeah? 0:37:49.080 --> 0:37:51.319 No, I mean the number one, everyone's different. Everyone has 0:37:51.360 --> 0:37:52.920 to write to do whatever they want with their money. 0:37:53.000 --> 0:37:57.000 So if someone wants to rent that invests, then then 0:37:57.120 --> 0:37:58.960 you know, I can make a case that that supruval 0:37:59.200 --> 0:38:02.319 are that makes sense for that particular person. But the 0:38:02.400 --> 0:38:04.759 thing that kind of concerns me about this is it 0:38:04.800 --> 0:38:07.280 looks like a lot of the gens years are getting 0:38:07.280 --> 0:38:08.160 going back to this sort. 0:38:08.000 --> 0:38:09.320 Of a day trading mentality. 0:38:09.760 --> 0:38:11.560 So I started my career at two thousand and one 0:38:11.760 --> 0:38:13.319 right at the very tail end of the tech wreck. 0:38:13.360 --> 0:38:15.799 If you remember that, and you know, it was devastating, 0:38:15.880 --> 0:38:19.280 and you know, people everyone thought that stocks just couldn't 0:38:19.280 --> 0:38:22.360 go down, particularly tech stocks, and everyone quit their jobs 0:38:22.440 --> 0:38:23.799 or day trading, and you know. 0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:25.279 Those things typically come to an end. 0:38:25.520 --> 0:38:28.520 So that concerned me a lot more is how they're investing. 0:38:28.800 --> 0:38:30.719 More than that they're investing versus buying home. 0:38:32.520 --> 0:38:34.480 And again, on the surface here I'm a novice on 0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:37.799 this stuff. But it's so you're gonna put money in 0:38:37.840 --> 0:38:40.480 the stock market as a gen zer, but you're not 0:38:40.520 --> 0:38:44.360 gonna buy a house, but you're gonna pour basically probably 0:38:44.400 --> 0:38:47.799 more money into rent. Right, it doesn't the math doesn't 0:38:47.800 --> 0:38:50.359 seem to at the end of the day, right work 0:38:50.400 --> 0:38:52.720 out long term for you. 0:38:52.960 --> 0:38:53.200 Yeah? 0:38:53.360 --> 0:38:55.239 Well, I mean how many twenty five year old kids 0:38:55.320 --> 0:38:56.759 plot out a self spreadsheet on. 0:38:56.960 --> 0:38:58.920 You know, the pros and cons of investing money? Right? 0:38:59.000 --> 0:39:01.840 You know I certainly didn't. So that's part of me. 0:39:02.040 --> 0:39:04.759 But another big piece of it, I think it's two fold. 0:39:04.800 --> 0:39:06.799 I think one, the cide MARKT has been on this 0:39:06.880 --> 0:39:08.120 terrific bowl run forever. 0:39:08.840 --> 0:39:09.520 It is led by the. 0:39:09.480 --> 0:39:12.600 Magnus at seven, and that generation really identified to those 0:39:12.600 --> 0:39:16.040 stocks in those companies. Also, it's very easy to invest. 0:39:16.080 --> 0:39:18.279 You know, when I opened my first investment town, I 0:39:18.280 --> 0:39:20.640 had to call make an appointment, go in see the 0:39:20.680 --> 0:39:22.799 guy open you know, thought the forums. Now you can 0:39:22.880 --> 0:39:24.480 literally do it on your phone in a few minutes 0:39:24.520 --> 0:39:27.399 and you're trading away. So I think that's one half 0:39:27.440 --> 0:39:29.440 of it. The other half is that real estate is 0:39:29.520 --> 0:39:31.600 getting out of control. You know, I moved from the 0:39:31.640 --> 0:39:35.680 Midwest originally very modest real estate, moved to Dallas. 0:39:35.239 --> 0:39:36.520 Area about eight years ago. 0:39:36.800 --> 0:39:39.080 And even here at that time, you know, Dallas was 0:39:39.120 --> 0:39:40.200 known as a moodus. 0:39:40.000 --> 0:39:41.160 Real estate market. 0:39:41.640 --> 0:39:44.279 Now it's it's gotten very expensive. So if you're twenty 0:39:44.320 --> 0:39:46.600 five thirty years old, you know, and your house is 0:39:46.640 --> 0:39:48.719 half a million dollars, that's part of about with one 0:39:48.760 --> 0:39:50.680 hundred grand for that twenty percent that payment. 0:39:51.239 --> 0:39:53.759 Yeah, I think you nailed it right there. I mean, yeah, 0:39:53.760 --> 0:39:56.560 I remember, you know, twenty years ago you could buy 0:39:57.440 --> 0:40:01.440 a very nice house in the Midwest one hundred and 0:40:01.480 --> 0:40:04.000 eighty grand, brand new and had all kinds and I 0:40:04.000 --> 0:40:06.600 mean all kinds of features anything like that. And those 0:40:06.680 --> 0:40:11.200 days are are completely over on that point right there. Ron, 0:40:12.040 --> 0:40:16.279 Do you see housing prices going down at all or what? 0:40:16.400 --> 0:40:16.440 What? 0:40:16.600 --> 0:40:19.480 What's going to cause that to happen? Because I feel 0:40:19.480 --> 0:40:20.480 like it certainly needs to. 0:40:22.080 --> 0:40:23.799 Yeah, well, you know it. 0:40:24.080 --> 0:40:25.920 Is sort of you're talking sort of longer term or 0:40:25.960 --> 0:40:29.600 shorter terms. So here in Texas we were in just 0:40:30.040 --> 0:40:33.279 the most booming of real estate markets. Tons of tons 0:40:33.280 --> 0:40:35.560 of people are moving down here as you know. 0:40:36.400 --> 0:40:38.839 The market was just crazy. Well that has called out 0:40:38.880 --> 0:40:39.239 quite a bit. 0:40:39.560 --> 0:40:41.480 It's it's pretty lean. I think it's a lot more 0:40:41.560 --> 0:40:43.680 lean than the media sort of let on kind of 0:40:43.680 --> 0:40:46.399 they want to protect it, and you know, everyone wants 0:40:46.400 --> 0:40:46.879 to beat their. 0:40:46.760 --> 0:40:49.600 Home prices up. But you know, I know a lot. 0:40:49.480 --> 0:40:52.319 Of realtors things have been extremely slow. Some people haven't 0:40:52.320 --> 0:40:53.920 even been getting a deal or maybe one deal a 0:40:53.960 --> 0:40:57.240 whole year. So houses are just sitting a lot longer. 0:40:58.040 --> 0:40:59.880 But that goes all on. Prices will come down. So 0:41:00.680 --> 0:41:03.080 but I think that's very much sort of a short 0:41:03.160 --> 0:41:05.520 term trend. And to find short term how you will 0:41:05.560 --> 0:41:08.799 one year, two year, or three years whatever. But over 0:41:08.840 --> 0:41:11.840 the long term, howsing is just going to continue to 0:41:11.840 --> 0:41:14.080 get more and more expensive. And a big reason for 0:41:14.120 --> 0:41:16.360 that is, you know, people in my industry and financial 0:41:16.360 --> 0:41:20.480 services have largely invested in commercial real estate historically, and. 0:41:20.360 --> 0:41:23.120 Now that's that's gone. Now they're going in and buying 0:41:23.440 --> 0:41:23.719 you know. 0:41:23.960 --> 0:41:28.520 Huge tracks and building residential homes and investment properties, and 0:41:28.560 --> 0:41:31.600 that sort of sets an artificial price that just is. 0:41:31.560 --> 0:41:33.080 It what it would be if it was the old 0:41:33.080 --> 0:41:34.080 way of the Bear Country. 0:41:35.040 --> 0:41:37.719 Well, and along those lines too, is you hear about 0:41:37.719 --> 0:41:39.040 a housing shortage? 0:41:39.520 --> 0:41:41.520 Number one? Is that? Is that really true? 0:41:41.640 --> 0:41:43.600 And number two, if it is, like, is that what's 0:41:43.719 --> 0:41:46.680 driving the cost of houses up higher? And is that 0:41:46.719 --> 0:41:49.400 what's keeping some of these gen zers away? 0:41:50.840 --> 0:41:53.400 Yeah, I mean, you know, it's all with real estate especially, 0:41:53.400 --> 0:41:57.200 it's always the location and the market. You know, for example, 0:41:57.200 --> 0:41:58.960 everybody said, you know, office was. 0:41:59.000 --> 0:42:00.160 Dead coming out of Covid. 0:42:00.200 --> 0:42:02.480 Well, if you look at Frisco, which is a suburb 0:42:02.480 --> 0:42:04.680 of north of Dallas, I think they're on pace in 0:42:04.800 --> 0:42:06.520 the next six or seven years. They have more office 0:42:06.520 --> 0:42:08.880 space than downtown Dallas has, which is insane to me. 0:42:09.640 --> 0:42:11.080 So location does matter. 0:42:11.480 --> 0:42:14.319 But you know it's the millennials, I think, you know, 0:42:14.360 --> 0:42:17.640 it's a combination of not having the down payment, it's 0:42:17.680 --> 0:42:19.600 you know, both of them sort of live in more 0:42:19.600 --> 0:42:21.960 major metros, you know, downtown versus the suburbs. 0:42:22.120 --> 0:42:23.719 They're younger, so you. 0:42:23.640 --> 0:42:24.960 Know it's kind of hard to buy to some of 0:42:24.960 --> 0:42:26.759 those hiring condos and maybe you don't want to be 0:42:26.760 --> 0:42:28.040 there forever. You just want to be there a couple 0:42:28.080 --> 0:42:30.239 of years. But then I think, you know, people read 0:42:30.239 --> 0:42:33.040 the headlines. You know, the interest rates just kicked up 0:42:33.520 --> 0:42:36.920 quite a bit. It was very unreasonable that I had 0:42:36.960 --> 0:42:39.560 a mortgage at three point one eight at one point. 0:42:40.440 --> 0:42:42.440 It's very normal that I have a mortgage at five 0:42:42.440 --> 0:42:44.200 of the quarter, although it's still stinks. 0:42:44.239 --> 0:42:45.880 I would much whether it be in my old grade. 0:42:46.000 --> 0:42:47.600 But you know, I remember, I want to say, my 0:42:47.680 --> 0:42:51.520 dad bought our house in eighty one for like eighteen 0:42:51.520 --> 0:42:53.920 percent interest. So these things do go up and down. 0:42:54.000 --> 0:42:57.719 Unfortunately, Ron Glasgow is our guest. He has a Glasgow 0:42:57.840 --> 0:43:01.279 Investment Solutions, He's a financial strategy and Ron, let me 0:43:01.400 --> 0:43:03.919 let me switch gears all this topic because I saw 0:43:04.000 --> 0:43:06.240 this and I thought it was amazing. I love your thoughts. 0:43:06.800 --> 0:43:10.239 So everything I hear, and frankly I believe is that 0:43:10.440 --> 0:43:13.640 you know, there's it's a tough economy right now. I mean, 0:43:13.800 --> 0:43:16.759 certainly go to the grocery store and things cost a 0:43:16.760 --> 0:43:19.400 lot more than they than they used to. But but 0:43:19.400 --> 0:43:22.839 then I see this Ron Black Friday, all right, Black 0:43:22.880 --> 0:43:28.279 Friday consumers spent eleven point eight billion dollars online, up 0:43:28.400 --> 0:43:32.000 nine percent from last year and then Cyber Monday, which 0:43:32.040 --> 0:43:33.800 would be this Monday or was that? 0:43:34.160 --> 0:43:35.000 Was that a couple of days? 0:43:35.320 --> 0:43:39.240 I'm sorry, Yeah, yeah, they spent fourteen point two billion 0:43:39.360 --> 0:43:42.160 dollars in one day. So what is it? Are we 0:43:42.200 --> 0:43:45.040 going to struggling economy ron or and and or do 0:43:45.080 --> 0:43:46.160 people have money to burn? 0:43:46.200 --> 0:43:49.279 What is it? Yeah, you know, it's something to figure out. 0:43:49.320 --> 0:43:52.279 I actually did a radio show last week and the 0:43:52.360 --> 0:43:54.920 study said that people are going to spend less money 0:43:55.440 --> 0:43:57.680 between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. 0:43:57.680 --> 0:43:57.800 It was. 0:43:57.960 --> 0:43:58.760 There was a several. 0:43:58.600 --> 0:44:00.520 Articles about it. Yeah they were wrong. 0:44:01.000 --> 0:44:04.600 I think I think people feel the pain or see 0:44:04.640 --> 0:44:06.080 the pain that they haven't felt it yet. 0:44:06.360 --> 0:44:07.719 That's not everybody. Some people had. 0:44:08.160 --> 0:44:09.920 But you know, I notice it too when I when 0:44:09.920 --> 0:44:11.800 I it's just me and my wife, we don't have kids, 0:44:12.080 --> 0:44:13.719 and we go to the store. I've never noticed the 0:44:13.719 --> 0:44:15.800 price of groceries. Have to sound snobby, I just you know, 0:44:15.920 --> 0:44:18.520 the only two of us. Now, it's it's mind bigling 0:44:18.600 --> 0:44:20.360 to me how much things cost. And I always go 0:44:20.440 --> 0:44:22.320 back to sort of remember that that goody jingle, A 0:44:22.400 --> 0:44:24.879 five dollars five dollars foot long on the subway. Yeah, 0:44:24.920 --> 0:44:26.600 I mean I don't know how much that how long 0:44:26.640 --> 0:44:27.759 ago that was, but. 0:44:27.840 --> 0:44:29.080 I just had to have my oil change. 0:44:29.080 --> 0:44:30.680 So I stopped at the subway for the first time 0:44:30.680 --> 0:44:32.800 in a long time, and the cheapest sub on the 0:44:32.840 --> 0:44:35.200 menu was a Vengeance out of ten dollars and twenty cents. 0:44:35.440 --> 0:44:37.799 So I can't remember exactly when that jingle stopped, but 0:44:37.840 --> 0:44:39.560 I know nobody's incomes doubled at that. 0:44:39.640 --> 0:44:41.560 Time, and that's the problem. 0:44:41.680 --> 0:44:44.239 But credit is very loose right now too, and so 0:44:44.320 --> 0:44:46.680 that's that's the real problem that people are just barming. 0:44:47.040 --> 0:44:50.440 Well, yeah, yeah, that's good. What is going to bring 0:44:50.920 --> 0:44:51.719 prices down? 0:44:51.800 --> 0:44:52.000 Ron? 0:44:52.560 --> 0:44:54.640 I hate to say it. Is it a recession? Does 0:44:54.640 --> 0:44:56.239 this thing have to kind of blow up a little 0:44:56.280 --> 0:44:58.960 bit in order for things to reset a little bit? 0:44:59.000 --> 0:45:00.480 I mean, no one once that, But is that the 0:45:00.520 --> 0:45:02.520 thing that's going to get prices back under control? 0:45:03.680 --> 0:45:03.879 Yeah? 0:45:03.920 --> 0:45:05.960 I don't think prices ever get under control. 0:45:06.040 --> 0:45:06.719 You know, I did one. 0:45:06.760 --> 0:45:10.520 I did a media spot and that day in place 0:45:10.560 --> 0:45:12.440 you came in, it's three percent. 0:45:12.560 --> 0:45:13.400 It's got a three. 0:45:13.239 --> 0:45:15.480 Point one and the mark is hit it all time 0:45:15.520 --> 0:45:17.560 of high. It's in ridiculous if we nobody cares about 0:45:17.600 --> 0:45:21.080 that except heads like me. Right, So three percent, three 0:45:21.120 --> 0:45:21.440 point one. 0:45:21.480 --> 0:45:22.600 That doesn't matter to anyone. 0:45:22.840 --> 0:45:25.200 It's because you've had this massive run up and now 0:45:25.200 --> 0:45:28.960 it's under control, but you've already heard tug control on 0:45:29.040 --> 0:45:31.080 top of that run up, so people are gonna hurt. 0:45:31.080 --> 0:45:34.200 I don't see prices coming down significantly, especially with some 0:45:34.280 --> 0:45:36.600 of the tariff news. I think that could be beneficial 0:45:36.600 --> 0:45:38.480 long term to pining on the strategy, but the short 0:45:38.560 --> 0:45:40.960 term that's that's gonna certainly pitch a little bit too. 0:45:41.440 --> 0:45:43.520 Yeah, you alluded to it there, And this is kind 0:45:43.520 --> 0:45:45.640 of as we talk about this, like it makes me 0:45:45.719 --> 0:45:49.160 wonder if people just, hey, are they Are they just 0:45:49.239 --> 0:45:53.080 willing to go in debt more nowadays, or be they're 0:45:53.120 --> 0:45:56.320 just willing to not save as much moneys now like you're. 0:45:56.160 --> 0:45:58.080 Going in debt and now it's like everybody is so 0:45:58.880 --> 0:46:00.359 big deal god question. 0:46:01.840 --> 0:46:02.000 Yeah. 0:46:02.040 --> 0:46:03.480 I mean even in my career, you know, starting in 0:46:03.520 --> 0:46:05.920 two thousand and one, I've seen a massive shift. 0:46:05.680 --> 0:46:06.839 On the thoughts on debt. 0:46:07.560 --> 0:46:08.520 Feel a lot of people just. 0:46:08.480 --> 0:46:12.080 Have it, you know, they do. Another thing is sometimes. 0:46:11.760 --> 0:46:14.279 People are taking money out that they earned. Real estate 0:46:14.320 --> 0:46:17.400 has been a huge boom, you know for years and years, 0:46:17.440 --> 0:46:19.759 So if people have their own home or they take 0:46:19.800 --> 0:46:22.080 a whole equity line or if they have the rental properties, 0:46:22.560 --> 0:46:25.239 certainly there's money there that they can access. And the 0:46:25.280 --> 0:46:27.960 stock market as well. I mean, basically everything is at 0:46:27.960 --> 0:46:30.960 an all time high, which makes it very difficult for 0:46:31.000 --> 0:46:32.680 someone like me. It's hard to know what to put 0:46:32.680 --> 0:46:34.320 people in interesting. 0:46:34.600 --> 0:46:37.480 Well, Ron, listen, we appreciate your time. Ron Glasgow.

All 0:46:59.480 --> 0:47:01.920 spendings going to be down this year and the amount 0:47:01.960 --> 0:47:04.799 of deals they're offering aren't as good as they've been 0:47:04.800 --> 0:47:07.040 in years past and break records. 0:47:07.160 --> 0:47:11.160 Oh and then last week, last wild week, Yeah you you, 0:47:11.280 --> 0:47:14.080 they were lined up on the highway right outside here 0:47:14.400 --> 0:47:17.000 to get into to go to Kenwood Town Center. I 0:47:17.000 --> 0:47:19.960 mean the traffic was backed up on seventy one at 0:47:20.000 --> 0:47:22.400 the exits.

I did see this during 0:59:23.680 --> 0:59:28.880 the break here, Jason. President Trump has just announced quarany 0:59:29.000 --> 0:59:32.520 ud quote no more Somalions in the United States. He's done. 0:59:32.520 --> 0:59:36.200 Their country stinks, they contribute nothing quote unquote. I don't 0:59:36.200 --> 0:59:38.840 want them. Some say it's not politically correct.

Understanding Simulions ripped off Minnesota 0:59:46.320 --> 0:59:49.960 for billions of dollars. The welfare is like eighty eight percent, 0:59:50.640 --> 0:59:52.840 and you have some stats on that as well. How's 0:59:52.840 --> 0:59:54.120 how you really feel, President Trump. 0:59:55.880 --> 0:59:59.000 I think this is probably in the wake of the 0:59:59.040 --> 1:00:04.240 cabinet meeting today which Homeland Security Secretary Homeland Security Secretary 1:00:04.240 --> 1:00:08.360 of Christy Nome revealed in that cabinet meeting with President 1:00:08.360 --> 1:00:13.680 Trump that half of all Minnesotans have submitted fraudulent visa applications. 1:00:15.080 --> 1:00:17.960 I don't know if that's a typo or in the 1:00:18.520 --> 1:00:22.560 New York Post story or half of all folks who 1:00:23.280 --> 1:00:25.280 I don't know if that's half of all Somali of it, 1:00:25.840 --> 1:00:27.800 because it seems like that's a lot like half of 1:00:27.880 --> 1:00:31.480 everyone who lives in Minnesota. Anyway, that's what the story says, 1:00:31.560 --> 1:00:35.880 quote from Nome, quote, you told me to look into 1:00:35.880 --> 1:00:39.360 Minnesota and they're fraud on visas in their programs. Fifty 1:00:39.400 --> 1:00:43.160 percent of them are fraudulent, which means that wacko governor 1:00:43.200 --> 1:00:46.000 Walls either as an idiot or he did it on purpose, 1:00:46.080 --> 1:00:49.560 and I think he's both. Sir Nooam told the President 1:00:50.000 --> 1:00:55.520 and other cabinet members, he brought people in there illegally 1:00:55.640 --> 1:00:58.120 that never should have been in this country. Said they 1:00:58.160 --> 1:01:01.400 were somebody that they're not. They said they were married 1:01:01.400 --> 1:01:05.720 to somebody who was their brother or somebody else, Nome said. 1:01:05.760 --> 1:01:08.040 And then the story said that was a possible reference 1:01:08.040 --> 1:01:13.160 to accusations against the representative elon Omar squad member as 1:01:13.200 --> 1:01:17.320 we as well, well, who's a representative there in Minnesota. 1:01:17.720 --> 1:01:20.000 Well, I mean there's a big what they call it, 1:01:20.040 --> 1:01:26.160 little mogadishue there in Minnesota. And this is all statistics 1:01:26.200 --> 1:01:28.480 and fact based, and you can't deny it. I mean 1:01:28.800 --> 1:01:33.520 enormously high unemployment rates there, okay, and it's long been 1:01:33.560 --> 1:01:37.160 a hot spot for like terroristic recruitment and things like that. 1:01:38.080 --> 1:01:42.880 And it's a community that has zero desire to assimilate 1:01:42.960 --> 1:01:47.040 into American culture, zero none. They don't want to, like, 1:01:47.240 --> 1:01:49.200 you know, learn the American way and learn the American 1:01:49.520 --> 1:01:51.680 And that's always been my biggest problem. Has nothing to 1:01:51.720 --> 1:01:53.920 new with skin color or anything like that, but if 1:01:53.960 --> 1:01:56.760 you come to this country, you should assimilate what it 1:01:56.840 --> 1:02:00.400 is to be American in the American tradition and the 1:02:00.440 --> 1:02:02.960 things that we do here and holidays we celebrate and 1:02:03.040 --> 1:02:07.000 things we find important and and all that. I always think, Uh, 1:02:07.160 --> 1:02:10.040 former Governor Honors Horzenegger says the best he goes, you 1:02:10.120 --> 1:02:13.000 got to realize because he's I think, does it the 1:02:13.080 --> 1:02:16.120 right way. He is not obviously a natural American citizen, 1:02:16.720 --> 1:02:18.800 but he says, look, if you were coming here, you're 1:02:18.800 --> 1:02:21.480 an immigrant. You are a guest. You're a guest in 1:02:21.520 --> 1:02:26.120 someone's house. So if I invite you into my home, 1:02:26.240 --> 1:02:29.160 or if someone comes in your home, they're expected to 1:02:29.240 --> 1:02:32.320 kind of go with the flow. Yep, Right, you don't 1:02:32.360 --> 1:02:34.760 walk in that into my house or your house or 1:02:34.760 --> 1:02:36.960 anybody's house and started saying, well, I don't like the 1:02:37.000 --> 1:02:40.760 couch over there, And I understand why you have that 1:02:40.840 --> 1:02:42.760 picture on the wall, and I understand why you guys 1:02:42.760 --> 1:02:45.600 are eating dinner at steven whoa, whoa, whoa. You're a 1:02:45.640 --> 1:02:47.600 guest here, you kind of just go along with the 1:02:47.640 --> 1:02:51.520 flow and you assimilate into how we're doing things here. 1:02:51.520 --> 1:02:54.960 That's always been been my thing. And I don't want 1:02:55.320 --> 1:02:58.280 any immigrant in here that doesn't want to assimilate into 1:02:58.280 --> 1:02:59.120 American culture. 1:02:59.160 --> 1:03:01.280 Well, and that's the beauty of America is that we are. 1:03:01.400 --> 1:03:04.360 We are a country of immigrants in our generations of 1:03:04.400 --> 1:03:08.680 your family, my family, most people's family, you know, us 1:03:08.720 --> 1:03:10.840 from another country that can't be a taker. 1:03:10.920 --> 1:03:11.960 My grandparents weren't. 1:03:12.120 --> 1:03:12.440 Correct. 1:03:12.760 --> 1:03:15.760 It's a lot of these folks, you know, they're they're takers. 1:03:16.240 --> 1:03:20.160 They take and they don't want to assimilate in. 1:03:21.560 --> 1:03:26.160 And that problem that that right, And then if you 1:03:26.280 --> 1:03:28.800 throw on top of that that it's you know, you've 1:03:28.920 --> 1:03:33.360 and again this is the accusation against Walls, who I 1:03:33.400 --> 1:03:38.080 tend to think is not a good politician, and and 1:03:38.280 --> 1:03:41.400 who knows that you know, certainly some of this is 1:03:41.480 --> 1:03:43.720 political bluster and hyperbole. 1:03:43.360 --> 1:03:43.520 But. 1:03:46.600 --> 1:03:50.440 Like right where where is the I think the challenge 1:03:50.480 --> 1:03:53.840 with this is that you know you're you're abroad here. 1:03:54.720 --> 1:03:57.800 You know, you didn't you didn't come here illegally necessary 1:03:57.920 --> 1:04:01.000 obviously through the you know you you jut you went 1:04:01.040 --> 1:04:04.240 through the border. You came here as part of a 1:04:04.280 --> 1:04:10.120 program of that some politicians set up to eventually, you know, 1:04:10.600 --> 1:04:15.600 have have a community of folks from some country, uh, 1:04:15.720 --> 1:04:20.640 whatever country that is. And but then you wonder like 1:04:20.760 --> 1:04:26.120 where where where's the then process of becoming uh you 1:04:26.160 --> 1:04:32.000 know the way you said assimilating into America, like American culture, 1:04:33.040 --> 1:04:35.360 you know, just learning you know, civic I guess basic 1:04:35.400 --> 1:04:40.040 one on one civics, which is an individual to America. 1:04:40.440 --> 1:04:43.120 You go through all those those courses that and again 1:04:43.160 --> 1:04:44.880 I don't I don't know, I'm not I don't know 1:04:44.960 --> 1:04:49.320 this well enough to know, like in terms of like 1:04:49.360 --> 1:04:52.360 when you bring is it refuge, Like I don't even 1:04:52.400 --> 1:04:55.120 know the whole story of this, Like the Somalians that 1:04:55.160 --> 1:04:58.040 went to Minnesota, like where you did were there then 1:04:58.080 --> 1:05:03.200 a whole was there a whole citizenship process when folks 1:05:03.680 --> 1:05:07.600 and again that there are other countries, when pockets around 1:05:07.600 --> 1:05:10.240 the country where people are from a certain country, whether 1:05:10.320 --> 1:05:13.320 you know they'll come to an area or neighborhood. 1:05:13.680 --> 1:05:17.200 Are they are there programs there's Italian parts of town 1:05:17.280 --> 1:05:21.520 and general ruts down and you can still celebrate your country. 1:05:21.520 --> 1:05:22.600 Are their programs? 1:05:22.680 --> 1:05:27.120 But are their programs in terms of American citizenship programs? 1:05:27.160 --> 1:05:30.440 Like there may be programs where they have no desire 1:05:30.520 --> 1:05:34.880 to to actually you know, partaken the like for real, 1:05:34.960 --> 1:05:38.280 and maybe you go through it, Okay, you read the paper. Sure, fine, right, 1:05:38.440 --> 1:05:41.720 there's no effort at all whatsoever, no effort to do 1:05:41.760 --> 1:05:46.480 assimilate and and then there's no desire to be a 1:05:46.520 --> 1:05:49.560 productive member of society. I mean, the welfare rates there 1:05:49.560 --> 1:05:51.800 and the amount of you know, the money that is 1:05:51.840 --> 1:05:55.800 spent and spent and spent and spent is crazy. And 1:05:55.840 --> 1:05:58.280 that's money that could be spent on people and hard 1:05:58.360 --> 1:06:00.400 times that are here in America that want to be 1:06:00.440 --> 1:06:02.200 a part of the you know, but a neat little 1:06:02.200 --> 1:06:04.640 hand up. I don't think anybody has any problem with that. 1:06:04.800 --> 1:06:07.160 And you think about I don't know, again, I don't 1:06:07.200 --> 1:06:11.480 know the statistics or whatever, but I assume there are 1:06:11.520 --> 1:06:15.080 tens of thousands of people probably throughout the course of 1:06:15.120 --> 1:06:18.040 a year, if not a week or whatever, they were 1:06:18.120 --> 1:06:21.480 looking to come to this country legally and you know, 1:06:21.520 --> 1:06:25.080 either via a legal visa or become a legal citizen, 1:06:25.320 --> 1:06:29.080 you know, And so how's that fair to those folks 1:06:29.120 --> 1:06:31.320 and again from all over the world trying to come 1:06:31.360 --> 1:06:35.160 here and want to go through the process of trying 1:06:35.200 --> 1:06:39.000 to be just like you know whatever. You know, folks 1:06:39.000 --> 1:06:41.560 that came to Ellis Island and became you know, went 1:06:41.640 --> 1:06:43.320 through all the processes of doing that. 1:06:43.800 --> 1:06:46.080 There there's but it's also I mean we're talking you know, 1:06:46.760 --> 1:06:47.560 many many. 1:06:47.320 --> 1:06:49.560 Many years we are. But I mean, I think there's 1:06:49.600 --> 1:06:52.160 a different world. But the principle of coming to the 1:06:52.160 --> 1:06:53.240 country a. 1:06:53.200 --> 1:06:56.160 Welfare system when people came over from Ellis Island, you you. 1:06:56.200 --> 1:06:58.840 Had to had to produce or But that's the point. 1:06:59.240 --> 1:07:01.520 That's the point I'm making. Sorry I wasn't clear about it. 1:07:01.680 --> 1:07:03.760 Are those folks who are currently trying to come into 1:07:03.760 --> 1:07:06.720 the country, they're not coming here. I'm going to go 1:07:06.720 --> 1:07:09.320 out on a limb and assume they're not coming here 1:07:09.360 --> 1:07:12.560 to try to live on welfare. They're coming here because 1:07:13.000 --> 1:07:15.160 they they are looking, they know this is a country 1:07:15.160 --> 1:07:19.280 that has jobs or there's a specific I think there's 1:07:19.320 --> 1:07:21.560 I think there's some that that look at it like 1:07:21.600 --> 1:07:25.400 that you talk, the stats would tell you the Simonian population. 1:07:25.440 --> 1:07:27.800 I'm talking about people wanting to come to this country legally. 1:07:28.200 --> 1:07:32.400 They want to go through the process of legally. Okay, yeah, no, I. 1:07:32.280 --> 1:07:34.280 Think they desire to do that and that, and that 1:07:34.320 --> 1:07:37.000 the system gets wrecked by the ones that just want 1:07:37.000 --> 1:07:39.919 to take and have no desire to are those flks 1:07:39.960 --> 1:07:42.320 who want to come here legally. Here here's the thing, Like, 1:07:42.440 --> 1:07:46.840 if you're not from this country, you don't you don't 1:07:46.960 --> 1:07:49.080 value some of the things that that have been a 1:07:49.080 --> 1:07:51.840 part of our like like take the Second Amendment. Whatever 1:07:51.840 --> 1:07:53.920 you feel about the Second Amendment, Like, there's a history 1:07:53.920 --> 1:07:56.280 there of why hey, because you know, a couple hundred 1:07:56.320 --> 1:07:58.720 years ago we had to pick up arms and and 1:07:58.720 --> 1:08:01.520 and and overthrow a tyrannical government. But if you're from 1:08:01.560 --> 1:08:03.680 a country or you never had that where your country 1:08:03.720 --> 1:08:06.800 lived under a king or something forever, you have, no, 1:08:07.760 --> 1:08:11.160 you don't understand what it's like to why that's something 1:08:11.200 --> 1:08:12.520 that people value here. 1:08:12.600 --> 1:08:15.800 But that's what you see if you seek if you 1:08:15.880 --> 1:08:19.800 seek legal citizenship, that's all part of the civics process 1:08:19.880 --> 1:08:23.080 that you go through that you are those are all 1:08:23.120 --> 1:08:28.519 there are courses that you take legal citizens dam but 1:08:28.600 --> 1:08:30.640 then I mean, and then that's when it's determined whether you. 1:08:33.360 --> 1:08:36.799 Show me that you actually crosses are are are actually 1:08:37.680 --> 1:08:39.920 you're considering them and want to do with them and 1:08:39.960 --> 1:08:41.880 follow through with them. I don't I don't think you 1:08:41.920 --> 1:08:45.680 see that with especially in in like these some all 1:08:45.680 --> 1:08:46.320 your communities. 1:08:46.320 --> 1:08:48.720 Well, and then well that's I mean, I think we're 1:08:48.720 --> 1:08:51.720 talking about two separate things because and then what what 1:08:51.800 --> 1:08:55.519 Gnome is saying here is that her claim is that 1:08:56.560 --> 1:08:59.439 a big chunk of half of them, half of the 1:08:59.560 --> 1:09:07.519 visa applications are fraudulent, and so she's now accusing Walls basically, 1:09:08.600 --> 1:09:10.960 you know, faking the whole thing to. 1:09:11.360 --> 1:09:15.320 Just bring people here illegally. Essentially is the vote and 1:09:15.720 --> 1:09:19.800 you know, throw the American system, which is that that's 1:09:19.840 --> 1:09:21.120 a that's a game plan. 1:09:21.160 --> 1:09:24.000 But see, so there's the difference there, and like I feel, 1:09:24.040 --> 1:09:26.840 whether yeah, right or whether you're literally trying to seek 1:09:26.880 --> 1:09:30.599 coming into this country the right way, and you know, 1:09:30.760 --> 1:09:33.240 what are your motives for wanting to come into this 1:09:33.280 --> 1:09:34.120 country the right way? 1:09:34.200 --> 1:09:35.800 Your motives should be when you come to this country 1:09:35.880 --> 1:09:37.400 is I want to be a productive sism. I not 1:09:37.439 --> 1:09:39.920 only want to let my life in my family's life, 1:09:39.920 --> 1:09:41.840 but I also want to lift up this country. That's 1:09:41.880 --> 1:09:44.800 that should be the requirement period. 1:09:44.479 --> 1:09:47.679 I completely agree with you, and I think probably people 1:09:47.680 --> 1:09:51.599 that do seek to come to this country legally, I 1:09:51.600 --> 1:09:54.760 think probably have that motive in my sorry. 1:09:54.479 --> 1:09:57.839 But they get pushed aside for you know, the millions 1:09:57.840 --> 1:10:01.240 and millions of illegal immigrants. I fear up to me like, 1:10:01.320 --> 1:10:03.080 there will just be a total pause on the whole 1:10:03.120 --> 1:10:05.720 deal for a year, and let let's let let's let 1:10:05.720 --> 1:10:08.240 our society absorb and let's let's figure it out and 1:10:08.240 --> 1:10:11.120 we're allocate resources and all that instead of just bringing 1:10:11.120 --> 1:10:13.400 millions and millions a year. And that's what Trump is doing. 1:10:13.560 --> 1:10:15.840 And I applaud yep I apploid.

Let's keep going. I saw this and 1:12:37.320 --> 1:12:41.120 this kind of relates to the topic we discussed to 1:12:41.160 --> 1:12:43.880 open the show at three o'clock, and that was that 1:12:44.240 --> 1:12:48.000 to build a new convention hotel downtown YEP. There's a 1:12:48.000 --> 1:12:52.080 certain district down there that's going to that's being asked 1:12:52.080 --> 1:12:55.080 and going to put on a one percent tax that's 1:12:55.120 --> 1:12:56.960 going to help just going to go directly to help 1:12:57.240 --> 1:13:00.000 pay for this bill seven hundred room Marion. And look, 1:13:00.200 --> 1:13:02.800 I applaud the fact that it's not being forced on them. 1:13:02.800 --> 1:13:05.320 They're they're asking these businesses and I guess they do 1:13:05.439 --> 1:13:08.479 the They think it out and go, well, you know, 1:13:08.560 --> 1:13:11.160 if this thing gets built, this means more foot traffic, 1:13:11.200 --> 1:13:13.840 more people going to come to our our restaurant or 1:13:13.920 --> 1:13:17.800 bar or whatever. It's so fine, yea, I will say, yeah, 1:13:18.080 --> 1:13:22.360 I find that really it's interesting dynamic there. And what 1:13:22.439 --> 1:13:26.320 I would wonder is when that hotel was built, does 1:13:26.320 --> 1:13:29.280 that tax come off those bills or is it any 1:13:29.439 --> 1:13:31.600 they hang on for a little bit longer? You know 1:13:31.680 --> 1:13:34.599 the answer that right exactly. That's I guess my issue. 1:13:34.640 --> 1:13:37.040 But uh, here's I talk about this one though. This 1:13:37.120 --> 1:13:40.080 is in Chicago, which is dead broke, right they uh, 1:13:40.880 --> 1:13:45.040 Chicago facing roughly one point one five billion dollar projected 1:13:45.120 --> 1:13:49.120 shortfall for this upcoming yearash, so you're a billion dollars 1:13:49.160 --> 1:13:52.600 shortfall for their city in twenty twenty six. How do 1:13:52.640 --> 1:13:54.720 you keep electing the same folks if you're in the 1:13:54.800 --> 1:13:56.120 hole that big. 1:13:58.400 --> 1:13:58.679 Again. 1:13:58.960 --> 1:14:03.040 I mean again, that's where polical question it. Apparently there 1:14:03.040 --> 1:14:06.960 hasn't been enough paid. Apparently there needs to be more 1:14:07.080 --> 1:14:08.760 because people just works it the same way. 1:14:09.320 --> 1:14:09.479 Um. 1:14:09.840 --> 1:14:13.519 So you know, Governor Johnson ther he proposed a sixteen 1:14:13.560 --> 1:14:17.599 point six billion dollar budget to close the shortfall by 1:14:17.640 --> 1:14:20.720 a significant aspect of his plan and proposed twenty one 1:14:20.760 --> 1:14:24.799 dollars monthly tax per employees for companies with one hundred 1:14:24.840 --> 1:14:28.320 or more workers. That was, thank god, struck down by 1:14:28.320 --> 1:14:31.400 the Finance Committee over concerns that would you know, drive 1:14:31.479 --> 1:14:32.840 corporations out of the city. 1:14:33.200 --> 1:14:35.439 So they won the So there there, you worked in 1:14:35.479 --> 1:14:39.559 a in a company in Chicago. You were, you were? 1:14:39.600 --> 1:14:42.680 He wanted to tax an extra twenty one dollars one 1:14:42.720 --> 1:14:45.559 hundred more workers. Then that's an extra twenty one bucks 1:14:45.560 --> 1:14:47.600 a month per employee. 1:14:47.800 --> 1:14:50.639 Oh my gosh. Yeah. So but that again that got 1:14:50.680 --> 1:14:53.880 shot down. So but again they're trying to trying to 1:14:53.920 --> 1:14:56.799 bridge a gap of one point one five billion. Okay, 1:14:56.880 --> 1:15:01.000 so it's a pretty tall order and fifty two dollars 1:15:01.040 --> 1:15:03.600 a year right there, or for one employee. Here's with 1:15:03.800 --> 1:15:10.320 somebody a council member Alderman Gilbert Vilagas proposed an initiative 1:15:10.320 --> 1:15:14.439 that would potentially charge residents a dollar twenty five for 1:15:14.520 --> 1:15:18.519 every package delivered. So Amazon pulls up your door and 1:15:18.560 --> 1:15:21.719 delivers a package that you bought a dollar and twenty 1:15:21.760 --> 1:15:24.960 five cent tax on it? What? Yeah? 1:15:25.479 --> 1:15:26.200 For Like. 1:15:27.800 --> 1:15:29.479 Where does that even come? Like where would you even 1:15:29.520 --> 1:15:31.160 come up with that idea? Like what would be the 1:15:31.240 --> 1:15:35.240 extra charge for animal? Because they need it and they 1:15:35.240 --> 1:15:38.760 don't have it? But it makes no sense, Like it 1:15:39.000 --> 1:15:43.080 doesn't right of course it doesn't. Like what what does 1:15:43.120 --> 1:15:46.360 it cost for the Amazon which pulls up to my 1:15:46.439 --> 1:15:47.759 house way too often? 1:15:47.880 --> 1:15:51.160 Yeah? For the Amazon on tin bucks a day? Yeah, 1:15:51.560 --> 1:15:51.760 for the. 1:15:51.800 --> 1:15:54.080 Amazon to literally pull up in front of your house 1:15:54.280 --> 1:15:56.840 in there most of the time at they're an electric van. 1:15:56.960 --> 1:16:01.400 I don't think that even matters. And lady or the 1:16:01.439 --> 1:16:03.439 guy get out come up to my porch either. If 1:16:03.439 --> 1:16:05.760 I'm there, they hand it to me. If not, they 1:16:05.800 --> 1:16:07.120 just set it on the front of the door. Like 1:16:07.240 --> 1:16:11.200 what what's the expense in that? They're not They just 1:16:11.240 --> 1:16:12.920 need the money and they don't have any other ways. 1:16:13.640 --> 1:16:17.320 And they know that everybody orders packages, everybody gets things 1:16:17.320 --> 1:16:18.719 delivered to their house anymore. 1:16:18.800 --> 1:16:20.639 So this is the way that I get it brutal. 1:16:20.800 --> 1:16:24.040 It got shot down or got rejected, as you say, 1:16:25.960 --> 1:16:29.320 and folks are claiming it would need state approval to implement, 1:16:29.439 --> 1:16:31.599 but the guy who introduced it says that it does 1:16:31.640 --> 1:16:36.479 not need state approval. Other things that they've put in 1:16:36.520 --> 1:16:41.759 place along with they have a grocery delivery fee, another 1:16:41.840 --> 1:16:44.639 fee on top of the grocery fee, okay, that goes 1:16:44.680 --> 1:16:48.000 directly to the city. A group of suggested nearly doubling 1:16:48.000 --> 1:16:51.360 the city's garbage collection fee, which has been nine to 1:16:51.400 --> 1:16:54.040 fifty per month since it was implemented in twenty fifteen. 1:16:54.080 --> 1:16:56.680 So they would take that thing up to nineteen bucks 1:16:57.120 --> 1:17:00.720 to get your garbage collected. Okay. So now again all 1:17:00.720 --> 1:17:02.360 this so you got that, you got that, You got 1:17:02.360 --> 1:17:04.920 the proposal of a dollar and twenty five cent uh 1:17:05.120 --> 1:17:09.200 charge for every package delivered. This is just months after 1:17:09.240 --> 1:17:12.599 the city dropped nearly six hundred and forty million dollars 1:17:12.720 --> 1:17:17.479 on illegal immigrants. I mean, if you live there, you 1:17:17.479 --> 1:17:23.360 can go huh what right? The pushback on this is 1:17:23.840 --> 1:17:26.439 you would think would be incredible, But again, these same 1:17:26.479 --> 1:17:30.840 people get elected. I just crime there. I mean, where 1:17:30.880 --> 1:17:34.480 is the benefit, Where's the benefit of living in Chicago 1:17:34.760 --> 1:17:36.840 and no. Look, if you're wealthy and you got a 1:17:36.880 --> 1:17:40.840 two million dollar penhouse you know somewhere there, you know, 1:17:41.439 --> 1:17:44.680 in Lincoln Parkers, Okay, whatever, fine, perfect, that's great. You're 1:17:44.720 --> 1:17:48.439 not gonna none of this affects you, right, and even 1:17:48.479 --> 1:17:50.439 a package fee wouldnt affect you. But for the normal 1:17:50.479 --> 1:17:54.080 person living around there, there's no way you could This 1:17:54.160 --> 1:17:55.519 is sustainable. 1:17:54.960 --> 1:17:57.200 And you can you can get bringing it back to 1:17:57.240 --> 1:17:59.880 the you know, the fee. You know, like you get 1:17:59.920 --> 1:18:03.120 the restaurant fee. Well, ultimately a lot of a big 1:18:03.200 --> 1:18:04.559 chunk of the folks are going to eat in the 1:18:04.560 --> 1:18:08.000 restaurants or you know, there's a calculation there are going 1:18:08.080 --> 1:18:10.200 to be staying in that hotel. So it's almost like 1:18:10.240 --> 1:18:12.479 a user fee, right, so you get that. 1:18:12.439 --> 1:18:15.439 You get that this one. There's no collection connection out 1:18:15.640 --> 1:18:17.960 all right, we're way late for the break.

Breaks for 1:37:18.360 --> 1:37:21.760 Less is what we do We know back with Rocky 1:37:21.800 --> 1:37:24.920 alongside Jason Williams for just a little bit longer here, 1:37:25.040 --> 1:37:28.320 and there's a big push within the last couple of years, 1:37:28.439 --> 1:37:33.240 Jason for the awareness of what's in our food right 1:37:33.400 --> 1:37:36.840 A lot the dies and the ultra process stuff that's 1:37:36.880 --> 1:37:39.360 out there. A lot of people are asking questions, which 1:37:39.400 --> 1:37:41.400 I think is a good thing is in wondering how 1:37:41.439 --> 1:37:44.519 these things have been affecting our health over the last 1:37:44.560 --> 1:37:46.640 to hover many years. But right now, I guess San 1:37:46.720 --> 1:37:51.160 Francisco is going to sue ultra processed food companies. I 1:37:51.240 --> 1:37:53.839 feel like San Francisco has a lot of other issues, 1:37:53.880 --> 1:37:57.599 but nevertheless, Alex Stone from ABC is joining us Alex, 1:37:57.640 --> 1:38:00.800 What is the latest with San Francisco gonna sue these 1:38:00.920 --> 1:38:02.439 ultra processed food companies. 1:38:03.160 --> 1:38:05.720 Yeah, and this is a rare moment when liberal San 1:38:05.760 --> 1:38:10.000 Francisco and the Trump administration agree on something. And what 1:38:10.200 --> 1:38:13.320 Robert Kennedy has been doing on ultra process foods and 1:38:13.560 --> 1:38:15.760 all of these efforts, but on this they do. And 1:38:15.960 --> 1:38:17.800 I got to say that the fun police came out 1:38:17.840 --> 1:38:20.559 today during this announcement that there is a big table 1:38:20.640 --> 1:38:22.800 of things that a lot of us have eaten, you know, 1:38:22.880 --> 1:38:25.519 growing up, and a lot of people eat on the 1:38:25.600 --> 1:38:28.799 regular like wheat thins and neutral grain bars and special 1:38:28.880 --> 1:38:32.200 k bars and Cheerios and lean cuisine, along with other 1:38:32.280 --> 1:38:35.680 things like Oreos and craft Mayo and Chef Boyard and 1:38:35.760 --> 1:38:38.800 Launchables and Cheetos and hot pockets and fun set of 1:38:38.840 --> 1:38:41.760 yelf on the shelf, Billsbury cake frosting. But all of 1:38:41.840 --> 1:38:44.800 these items and a lot more. San Francisco's to the 1:38:44.840 --> 1:38:48.000 attorney David Chu, saying today they are making us fat, 1:38:48.600 --> 1:38:51.720 disease prone, and making us overall unhealthy. He put it 1:38:51.800 --> 1:38:52.400 like this, Our. 1:38:52.360 --> 1:38:56.639 Case is about companies who design food to be harmful 1:38:56.840 --> 1:39:02.280 and addictive and marketed their products to maximize profits like 1:39:02.360 --> 1:39:06.160 the tobacco industry, They knew their products make people very sick, 1:39:06.840 --> 1:39:10.919 but hid the truth from the public, profited from untold billions, 1:39:11.360 --> 1:39:14.280 and left Americans to deal with the consequences. 1:39:14.320 --> 1:39:17.120 So the allegation in the San Francisco lawsuit is that 1:39:17.240 --> 1:39:20.000 this started with tobacco companies back in the sixties and 1:39:20.120 --> 1:39:24.080 seventies buying food companies, and that the food companies today 1:39:24.400 --> 1:39:29.080 use tobacco industry tactics and now use chemicals to get Americans, 1:39:29.120 --> 1:39:33.080 especially children, especially low income Americans, addicted to these high 1:39:33.120 --> 1:39:35.680 processed foods, and that it is those chemicals that make 1:39:35.760 --> 1:39:39.240 you unknowingly. The allegation is addicted to them like it 1:39:39.479 --> 1:39:43.040 was to tobacco or anything else that's been addictive, where 1:39:43.120 --> 1:39:44.920 you don't know that you need more of it. And 1:39:44.960 --> 1:39:47.920 they're claiming that what's being produced is sold as food 1:39:48.040 --> 1:39:50.240 but is not really food because it's got the chemicals 1:39:50.240 --> 1:39:50.400 in it. 1:39:50.439 --> 1:39:53.200 They added this, the industry has created thousands of new 1:39:53.320 --> 1:39:58.960 chemicals which the body metabolizes and craves differently, and they 1:39:59.000 --> 1:40:00.679 are designed to be addictive. 1:40:01.320 --> 1:40:01.719 Addiction. 1:40:01.880 --> 1:40:04.120 This is a feature, not a bug. 1:40:04.360 --> 1:40:06.479 So they're naming a bunch of companies, including Craft and 1:40:06.600 --> 1:40:09.200 posts and Coca Cola and others, And the allegation is 1:40:09.240 --> 1:40:11.479 that these companies have taken part in unfair and deceptive 1:40:11.520 --> 1:40:14.759 practices lying about the foods being healthy in some cases 1:40:14.840 --> 1:40:17.519 like wheat thins and nutri grain bars, and have not 1:40:17.640 --> 1:40:21.080 disclosed chemicals that they put in them to make them addictive. 1:40:21.320 --> 1:40:24.120 And we heard from one doctor today she says seventy 1:40:24.240 --> 1:40:27.160 percent of what the calories the kids eat now are 1:40:27.280 --> 1:40:30.040 coming from these foods, and fifty percent of what adults 1:40:30.040 --> 1:40:33.360 eat or more, leading to type two diabetes and cancer 1:40:33.439 --> 1:40:35.760 and depression and a bunch of other diseases. And they 1:40:35.800 --> 1:40:38.000 say this is decades in the making, that we don't 1:40:38.000 --> 1:40:40.600 even really realize that some of the foods that we 1:40:40.720 --> 1:40:44.120 are eating are these highly produced foods because we grew 1:40:44.200 --> 1:40:46.120 up with them. You think you're making a healthier choice 1:40:46.760 --> 1:40:48.720 and that these foods are in there. We reached out 1:40:48.800 --> 1:40:51.920 guys to the companies that are named in this, and 1:40:52.080 --> 1:40:55.439 their industry trade group responded on their behalf saying that 1:40:55.520 --> 1:40:58.360 they support making healthier choices, that they have worked increased 1:40:58.400 --> 1:41:02.919 protein and fiber, sugar and sodium, takeout synthetic color addatives. 1:41:03.200 --> 1:41:06.240 But they argue there is no agreed upon definition of 1:41:06.400 --> 1:41:09.160 what is ultra processed food. And they say that their 1:41:09.200 --> 1:41:13.320 food is being demonized by ignoring the nutrient content, just 1:41:13.400 --> 1:41:16.120 saying that it's highly processed and not looking at at 1:41:16.160 --> 1:41:17.479 what the nutrients. 1:41:17.000 --> 1:41:17.439 Are in there. 1:41:17.479 --> 1:41:21.040 But San Francisco this lawsuit, they're letting these companies know 1:41:21.200 --> 1:41:23.880 their food is making us sick, but have sold it 1:41:23.960 --> 1:41:27.479 anyway and continue like tobacco did, to make money off 1:41:27.520 --> 1:41:30.240 of it. And so we'll see where the lawsuit goes 1:41:30.360 --> 1:41:31.679 and if it has any legs. 1:41:33.000 --> 1:41:35.439 This is pretty wild, Nick, You mentioned all the company 1:41:35.439 --> 1:41:37.639 I mean it's a who's who of a food food 1:41:37.760 --> 1:41:40.880 processing companies. I mean you throw in Pepsi and Coke 1:41:41.000 --> 1:41:45.120 and General Mills and Hines and craft And is the 1:41:45.400 --> 1:41:48.040 is the end goal here, Alex? That these companies will 1:41:48.080 --> 1:41:51.639 then put almost like a cigarette type of related thing, 1:41:52.280 --> 1:41:54.360 you know, warning on their front of their package. 1:41:54.400 --> 1:41:55.400 You know what is it? 1:41:55.479 --> 1:41:58.879 You know for cigarettes? It's this this product may cause cancer? 1:41:59.880 --> 1:42:02.800 Is this the thing where hey, this this product has 1:42:02.960 --> 1:42:08.160 processed foods that may cause you know whatever whatever, you know, 1:42:08.320 --> 1:42:10.800 cancer and heart disease and blah blah blah. 1:42:11.120 --> 1:42:11.640 Is that the end? 1:42:11.800 --> 1:42:12.760 Is that the end goal here? 1:42:13.439 --> 1:42:14.960 Well, I think their end goal is that this stuff 1:42:15.040 --> 1:42:18.240 isn't sold, that the food companies find other ways to 1:42:18.360 --> 1:42:20.559 make it, or that they don't make it an America, 1:42:20.680 --> 1:42:23.559 especially in low income areas, where that is the food 1:42:23.600 --> 1:42:27.960 that is available and can be affordable to Phillip bellies 1:42:28.000 --> 1:42:30.439 at home, that that that is not what is there. 1:42:30.560 --> 1:42:33.040 But the reality is that that would take a big shift. 1:42:33.160 --> 1:42:34.960 They said this, this has been going on since the 1:42:35.040 --> 1:42:38.120 sixties and growing to where we are today, that it 1:42:38.160 --> 1:42:42.040 would take a lifetime to to make it wind back 1:42:42.160 --> 1:42:45.360 down if they were able to do it. But otherwise, yeah, 1:42:45.560 --> 1:42:49.840 warning labels or changing the ingredients or taking out these 1:42:49.880 --> 1:42:53.080 alleged chemicals that they say are in there just to 1:42:53.240 --> 1:42:55.760 make you addicted to it without you knowing they're even 1:42:55.840 --> 1:42:58.439 in there. That all of that, So it's kind of 1:42:58.439 --> 1:43:00.479 all of the above. Their ultimate goal, though, would be 1:43:00.520 --> 1:43:04.920 that we're eating greens out of the garden and lean 1:43:05.040 --> 1:43:08.240 proteins and and that sort of thing. But the reality 1:43:08.280 --> 1:43:10.439 of it is in the mass that these companies have 1:43:10.600 --> 1:43:14.160 to make it that that's not really possible and getting 1:43:14.200 --> 1:43:17.160 into every grocery store across really around the world, but 1:43:17.400 --> 1:43:20.599 across the country to be able to feed that there 1:43:20.640 --> 1:43:24.200 are still going to be foods that you get it 1:43:24.360 --> 1:43:26.960 at seven eleven or you at the grocery store that 1:43:27.040 --> 1:43:29.200 are in boxes and they've got to be shelf stable. 1:43:29.520 --> 1:43:33.040 So that's not something that that's really realistic. But ultimately 1:43:33.080 --> 1:43:34.280 they want us to stop eating them. 1:43:34.680 --> 1:43:37.000 All right With that, Alex, we appreciate your time on this. 1:43:37.120 --> 1:43:37.720 Thank you so much. 1:43:38.560 --> 1:43:38.920 You got it. 1:43:38.960 --> 1:43:39.840 Thanks guys, thanks saw it. 1:43:40.680 --> 1:43:44.600 I applaud this, And I mean just take a go 1:43:44.720 --> 1:43:47.200 to your cupboard and take out a box of cereal, 1:43:47.400 --> 1:43:49.560 some brand flakes. You're like, oh, okay, it's got to 1:43:49.600 --> 1:43:51.680 be wheat and you know flour and you know some 1:43:51.800 --> 1:43:55.320 sugar is not like forty different ingredients things you don't 1:43:55.320 --> 1:43:55.639 even want? 1:43:55.720 --> 1:43:55.880 Is that? 1:43:56.200 --> 1:43:59.840 What's about basic food? And yeah, most of the names 1:43:59.840 --> 1:44:02.160 are are four syllables and you have no idea what 1:44:02.240 --> 1:44:04.519 they are. It's it's it's really as amazing. So I 1:44:04.880 --> 1:44:08.120 hope something happens that the change, because it was what 1:44:08.360 --> 1:44:10.760 we are eating right now is killing it. And I 1:44:10.840 --> 1:44:12.960 saw this thing too where it's like everyone says, oh, 1:44:13.080 --> 1:44:15.240 I eat that as a kid. It's to say no, 1:44:15.880 --> 1:44:18.439 they're different, like oreos, Now, what's in those things and 1:44:18.520 --> 1:44:20.439 what they make? Oreos? Out of now is different than 1:44:21.040 --> 1:44:23.400 than when you and I were kids. It's a lot 1:44:23.520 --> 1:44:26.280 more chemicals and this and that and that sort of thing, 1:44:26.479 --> 1:44:30.320 so things that ultimately they can make them, to make 1:44:30.400 --> 1:44:34.320 them on the cheap, right exactly, Keep on, all Right's 1:44:34.320 --> 1:44:35.960 go and check some trafficking weather. How are we looking
