Speaker 4: Well blame bah Board.

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 5: Thanks for tuning in as we wind up our week

12
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 5: here on America's Trucking Network. Start off quickly with a

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 5: little bit of a weather report updating you on Tropical

14
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 5: Storm Jerry, expected to be near the Northern Leeward Islands

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 5: later tonight. Tropical storm warning issued for Barbuda. The way

16
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 5: this is looking again, it doesn't look like it's going

17
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 5: to be coming near the United States.

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 4: You know.

19
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 5: The path of this thing looked like it was going

20
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 5: to head towards the you know, Caribbean, Cuba, Haiti, those

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 5: areas there, Dominican Republic. As it started approaching that, it

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 5: seems to be taking a northerly turn. It's going to

23
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 5: go across some of the islands itself, but the way

24
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 5: it's projected, it's going to take an actual easterly, almost

25
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 5: like a right turn the way the pattern is going,

26
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 5: and it's more and more apparent that that's going to happen.

27
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 5: We may see a little bit of storm surge on

28
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 5: the east coast, and those people in North Carolina, low

29
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 5: lying areas, South Carolina and so on may see some

30
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 5: swells there, but not much, which is good news considering

31
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 5: we have not had knock on Wood a direct hit

32
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 5: and during this hurricane season. Yesterday morning, when we were

33
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 5: on the air, it was started the news started to

34
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 5: break about a possible signing of a peace treaty between

35
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 5: Hamas and Israel. I didn't want to talk about it

36
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 5: right away because so many times there has been well,

37
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 5: it appears as though this is going to happen, and

38
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 5: then it kind of fades away and somebody backs out

39
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 5: at the last minute. But apparently there has been a

40
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 5: deal struck between Israel and Hamas, broken by Donald Trump,

41
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 5: I might add, which is interesting because once again something

42
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 5: that people said couldn't be done is being done. The

43
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 5: details need to be worked out now. Yesterday morning, when

44
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 5: we were on the air, they talked about that the

45
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 5: hostages could possibly be released as early as Monday. That

46
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 5: has now been pushed up to as possibly as early

47
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 5: as Saturday.

48
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 4: And forty eight remaining hostages.

49
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 5: They believe are still alive, and there are some twenty

50
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 5: that are possibly dead, and they're going to be returning

51
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 5: those bodies as well. But the fact that they actually

52
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 5: got to this point is absolutely astounding, given the fact

53
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 5: that how entrenched Hamas is and a lot.

54
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 4: Of the.

55
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 5: Surrounding Arab countries signed off on this and said, we

56
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 5: think this is the path forward, this is what we

57
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 5: think Hamas ought to do. Now, I'm taking this with

58
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 5: a grain of salt, because as we've seen in the past,

59
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 5: every time there's been some sort of a peace tree,

60
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 5: it's been when the well, the Palestinians or whoever has

61
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 5: attacked Israel has gotten their butt kicked so severely that they.

62
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 4: Say, all right, we want to have peace.

63
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 5: We want to have peace, you know, we want to

64
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 5: establish a piece of cord. And all that does is

65
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 5: the only thing that does is give them an opportunity

66
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 5: to retool, re arm themselves so that they can come

67
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 5: back and strike again. Hopefully this will annihilate or eliminate

68
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 5: Hamas and keep them in check, and hopefully the other

69
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 5: Arab countries will say enough is enough, let's stop this crap.

70
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 4: But according to.

71
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 5: What's come out, Israel Palestinian militant group Hamas signed an

72
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 5: agreement on Thursday to cease file fire and free Israeli

73
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 5: hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in the first phase

74
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 5: of the US Donald Trump. The first phase of US

75
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,239
Speaker 5: Donald Trump's attempt to end the war in Gaza under

76
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 5: fighting under the let me see fighting will Under the agreement,

77
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 5: fighting will cease, Israel will partially withdraw from Gaza, and

78
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 5: Hamas will free all remaining hostages. It captured the attack

79
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 5: that precipitated the war back on October seventh, twenty twenty three.

80
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 5: Now again looking at this and seeing how this has

81
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 5: unfolded and the way Hamas, the Palestinians, etc. Have treated

82
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 5: their neighbor. You know, in the past, Israel has been

83
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 5: willing to give up. I mean there was a time

84
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 5: back in what was at the early two thousands, when

85
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 5: you had the West Bank, you had Gaza, and you

86
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 5: had the Goal on Heights. Israel made an effort to

87
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 5: give away ninety eight percent of the territory that the

88
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 5: Palestinians wanted, and they turned the offer down. And every

89
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 5: time there has been an opportunity for peace, the Palestinians

90
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 5: have chosen war. They have chosen to continue attacks, continue

91
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 5: to fire rockets into Israel, and especially there after October

92
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 5: the seventh, once they invaded, killed over twelve hundred and

93
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 5: thirteen hundred Israelis.

94
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 4: Israel had had enough. I have heard the Israelis say.

95
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 5: More often than not that they are willing to give

96
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 5: up as much land as they can in exchange for peace.

97
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 5: They are willing, and in this deal they're going to

98
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 5: want the Palestinians are going to wind up with hundreds

99
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,679
Speaker 5: hundreds of prisoners return, people who've been captured during the war,

100
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 5: people who are known terrorists, people who, if you had

101
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 5: a trial, would probably.

102
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 4: Get a death sentence.

103
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 5: These people are terrorists, but they're going to release them

104
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 5: because they value their citizens' lives more than the Palestinians do.

105
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 5: So in order to get their hostages in Israel, Israel's

106
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 5: hostages back, they will do anything they can. As a

107
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 5: matter of fact, You've got the holiest city in the world, Jerusalem.

108
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 5: Jerusalem is the is the birthplace of Judaism or the

109
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 5: home of Judaism, the home of Catholicism, and has been

110
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 5: one of the biggest homes for the Muslim world. Israel

111
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 5: has been willing to split that city in half and

112
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 5: give half of it to the Arabs in their own

113
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 5: country in order to obtain peace, and every time the

114
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 5: olive branches turned out there, it's been slapped away. Hopefully

115
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 5: there is something in this deal that keeps Hamasid, keeps

116
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 5: them under wraps, keeps them out of power, and forces

117
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 5: the leadership into exile into other countries, and hopefully the

118
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 5: other Arab countries will say enough is enough. We've had

119
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 5: it with you people. We want peace in this area.

120
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 5: So we'll see how this all turns out. In the

121
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 5: matter of the government shutdown, it's amazing. We're now in

122
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 5: the tenth day by the way of the government shutdown,

123
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 5: and I would say for the average citizen, you probably

124
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 5: don't even know that there is a government shutdown because

125
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 5: some of the stuff that you do on a normal

126
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 5: basis doesn't really rely on the federal government for any

127
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 5: of this. Although that doesn't stop a lot of the

128
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 5: stories that come out as to well, what's going to

129
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 5: be affected and how's this going to be treated and

130
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 5: what numbers are we going to have problems as far

131
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 5: as payment's going out.

132
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 4: Now, what I will say is that.

133
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 5: There are a lot of federal workers that will have

134
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 5: been furloughed that because there's not a funding mechanism that

135
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 5: was put into place.

136
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: Before the furlough or before.

137
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 4: The shutdown, these people are not going to get paid.

138
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 5: It outrages me that Congress is going to continue to

139
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 5: get paid because they, quote unquote are considered essential workers.

140
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 5: Which that's a story for another day, but the air

141
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 5: traffic controllers are not considered well, they're considered essential.

142
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 4: I don't know.

143
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 5: Supposedly you've got the essential workers that get paid the

144
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 5: non essential workers that don't get paid. Air traffic controllers

145
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 5: must be some sort of a hybrid because they're they're

146
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 5: essential workers, but they're not getting paid during this period

147
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 5: of time. And we're starting to see a lot of airlines,

148
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 5: a lot of air traffic being tied up because people

149
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 5: have been calling in sick. There's a high turn there's

150
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 5: a high incidence of people calling in sick. Now, this

151
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 5: bothers me from the standpoint that first of all, there

152
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 5: should be funding mechanism in there, that the air traffic

153
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 5: controlers should be considered paid essential workers and they should

154
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 5: not have to show up to work without getting a paycheck.

155
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 5: The other thing is is that even though they're not

156
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 5: getting a paycheck, I just can't imagine that my job

157
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 5: is responsible for these air traffic safety in a particular airport.

158
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 5: And I'm as a little protest. And we all know

159
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 5: that this is one of those things where my wife

160
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 5: always tells me that I'm in the process of a

161
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 5: thought and I interrupt myself. But this is a situation

162
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 5: where the people that are furloughed, they are going to

163
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 5: get when they come back. Not only are they going

164
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 5: to get paid, but they're going to get their back

165
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 5: pay during the period that they were off. At this

166
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 5: point in time, can collect unemployment insurance, and I would

167
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 5: think that these air traffic controllers, if they're not getting paid,

168
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 5: should be able to receive some compensation from unemployment.

169
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 4: I'll finish my thought on this coming up.

170
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 5: I'm Kevin Gordon America's Struck A Network seven hundred WLW.

171
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: I need this the.

172
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 3: Breathing Reward on America's drug A Network on seven hundred WLW.

173
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 6: NASCAR President Steve O'Donnell was a special guest on Dirty

174
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 6: Moe Media podcast with dyl Earnhardt Jr. To announce it

175
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 6: some tracks coming up in twenty twenty six cars will

176
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 6: have the seven hundred and fifty horse power and an

177
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 6: offseason test at North Wilkesboro is played.

178
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 7: So why seven fifty one out eight hundred one out

179
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 7: of thousand? So if you look at where we are today,

180
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 7: where we can go without completely changing over the industry,

181
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 7: and so whatever you do, you want to make sure

182
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 7: that if you're going to change horsepower within the car,

183
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 7: you got to match it up with the arrow. You

184
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 7: got to match it up, and you're breaking all these

185
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 7: different things come into play.

186
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: We hear the fans.

187
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 6: Also, o'donna will asked about the current charter lawsuit against

188
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 6: NASCAR by twenty three eleven Racing and Front Row Motorsports.

189
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 7: All I can say is when you get sued for

190
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 7: something and you want a settlement with things that have

191
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 7: nothing to do with what you sued for, it's hard

192
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 7: to make sense of that. So that's the struggle right now.

193
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 7: And I can tell you that listen, willing able, nobody

194
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 7: wants to go to court from the NASCAR side, we

195
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 7: want to concentrate on racing, and that's all I can say.

196
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 6: Looking ahead to the racing weekend, Las Vegas has the

Speaker 9: share with you some of their experiences. I'm stuck between

224
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 9: paying for medications or paying for food. John for Maine.

225
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 9: After paying my bills, I can buy groceries. It's sad

226
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 9: to say food comes last. Alice from Oregon. I thought

227
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 9: pantries were for less fortunate people, but anybody could be

228
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 9: less fortunate in a day or even a second. Claire

Speaker 2: four four iHeart.

237
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 5: I'm Kevin Bran and Americastruck a network seven hundred WLW

238
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 5: I was talking about out the government shutdown and how

239
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 5: that's going to affect different workers and so on, and

240
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 5: I kept interrupting myself with a different thought. I'd start

241
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 5: a sentence and then interrupt myself and go off on

242
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 5: a tangent. But the bottom line is is that one

243
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 5: of the areas that is extremely important is air traffic controllers.

244
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 5: The fact that they are considered essential workers and have

245
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 5: to show up for work, but they're not going to

246
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 5: get paid. While we've got Congress that never does anything,

247
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 5: but they're considered an essential worker and they do get paid.

248
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 5: That I don't understand when during the government shutdown, Congress.

249
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 4: Shouldn't get paid either.

250
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 5: Maybe that would put them back to work a lot sooner,

251
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 5: and maybe they'd be a little bit more interested in compromise,

252
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 5: in coming up with some sort of an agreement to

253
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 5: actually pass a budget and to balance the budget at

254
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 5: some point in time.

255
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 4: But that's the story for another day.

256
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 5: But I can't imagine because we're hearing there's situations where

257
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 5: air traffic controllers are calling in sick. It's disrupting a

258
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 5: lot of the flights around the country. It's backing things up, delays, cancelations,

259
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 5: and so on.

260
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 4: I understand not wanting.

261
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 5: You know, if you're not getting paid, then you know

262
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 5: how happy you're going to be to go to work.

263
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 5: But I can't imagine a situation where my job is

264
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 5: to be an air traffic controller where I have hundreds

265
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 5: of people, thousands of people per day whose lives depend

266
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 5: on me watching the radar screen and getting them off

267
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 5: the ground safely and return to the ground safely, and

268
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 5: the fact that somebody would call in sick as kind

269
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 5: of a protest because I'm not getting paid. So if

270
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 5: I'm not getting paid, I don't care about my job.

271
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 5: I don't know that I could rest easy or feel

272
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 5: comfortable knowing that the possibility of my not being there

273
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 5: could actually lead to an air crash or a plane crashing,

274
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 5: something along those lines, two planes colliding or whatever. I

275
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 5: just don't know how they do that and how they

276
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 5: rationalize in their head they are going to get their

277
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 5: pay when they come back. They're not losing anything. The

278
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 5: way unemployment is set up, it's set up that if

279
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 5: you're not getting a paycheck, if you're not getting cash

280
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 5: that week, you can file for unemployment. So even though

281
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 5: these guys are actually these people air traffic controllers are

282
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 5: on the job, they're not getting paid, so they would

283
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 5: qualify for unemployment insurance. It's not matching their salary, but

284
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 5: it's something. It's not like they're going to not get anything.

285
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 5: So that whole thing's going on. But when we see

286
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 5: these stories about well, what's going to be affected? What's

287
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 5: not going to be affected? And I love this headline

288
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 5: because when I read it, you know, when you pull

289
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 5: up a story, and especially on your phone, sometimes it'll

290
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 5: only have a certain number of words and then there'll

291
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 5: be that dot dot dot dot dot at the end

292
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 5: that means there's something more to it. Now, could you

293
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 5: have stretched this headline out far enough to make it

294
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 5: seem like it's something that it's not?

295
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 4: Here is the headline government shut down.

296
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 5: Could delay Yearlysocial securitypayment dot dot dot. If you'd see

297
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 5: that on your phone, what's what would to be missing

298
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 5: is announcement. The whole headline is government shutdown could delay

299
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 5: yearly Social Security payment announcement. So that's a very long headline,

300
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 5: but it puts in your head that the shutdown could

301
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 5: delay Social Security checks. And all this is saying is

302
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 5: that one they determine, you know, every year that the

303
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 5: Social Security. You know, when somebody's on Social Security. Every

304
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 5: year they have what's a COLA. It's a cost of

305
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 5: living index, cost of living allowance. So they calculate that

306
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 5: during the year and usually in the third quarter by

307
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 5: mid October thereabouts, whatever the inflation rate is at that

308
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 5: point in time, that's what the number is in terms

309
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 5: of what the cost the increase would be. And they

310
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 5: make this out that this is a big deal, that

311
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 5: the fact that this is being delayed is going to

312
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 5: result going to halt this and going to delay when

313
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 5: that goes into effect. All right, again, situation where the

314
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 5: curtain gets pulled back on our federal government gets pulled

315
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 5: back on how things are done. I mean, are they

316
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 5: sitting there at their desk with just a pencil and

317
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 5: an adding machine and then that's what they're doing, and

318
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 5: then that's got to go over to this person, and

319
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 5: then they've got to check the math, and then that's

320
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 5: got to go to a supervisor and they have to

321
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 5: check the math. Then it's got to go to somebody

322
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 5: else before it's actually implemented.

323
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 4: They don't have any computers that would do this.

324
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 5: I'm sure you've seen when you make a credit card payment,

325
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 5: I always find it interesting that when you make a

326
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 5: credit card payment, you do that online and the money

327
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 5: almost immediately comes out of your account, but the balance

328
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,239
Speaker 5: of when you've paid that doesn't get applied to your

329
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 5: account until like the next day, comes out of my

330
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 5: account real quick, but they don't credit it to my

331
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 5: account with the utility or the subscription service, you know,

332
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 5: the cable service or something like that. And what's interesting

333
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 5: too is that on a credit card payment with the

334
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 5: same bank, make the payment, and you can see the

335
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 5: money coming out of your account, but not applied to

336
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 5: the credit card which is sitting right next to it.

337
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 5: That generally takes about eight hours or so to show up.

338
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 5: But again, in the era of computers, I mean, we've

339
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 5: had computers around since probably the early seventies, and now

340
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 5: it seems like the government can't just flip a switch

341
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 5: adjust this and it goes into the system. Is there

342
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 5: some sort of major programming thing that has to be

343
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 5: done anyway?

344
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 4: Talking about the particular story.

345
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 5: As the government shut down reaches day ten today, the

346
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 5: agency that produces economic data may have to delay the

347
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 5: release of its annual cost Living adjustment, or known as COLA,

348
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 5: planned for the next Social Security payments generally. Solid Security

349
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 5: Administration SSA released its COLA on the upcoming for the

350
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 5: upcoming years sometime in mid October after it calculates the

351
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 5: Consumer Price Index for urban wage earners measure of inflation

352
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 5: for July au TI in September. Last year's announcement by

353
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 5: SSA was on October the tenth for the twenty twenty

354
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 5: five payments. However, Department of Labor said a shutdown contingency

355
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 5: plan released indicates that this will be suspending all their operations.

356
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 5: Any of the information, the numbers that they're going to

357
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 5: be released are all on hold until they come back open.

358
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 5: There is a delay in the CPI release during October

359
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 5: of each year, might have an impact on the cost

360
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 5: of living adjustments announced by the Social Security Administration. Labor

361
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 5: Department also noted in their plan is this some sort

362
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,959
Speaker 5: of a scare tactic where they want to kind of

363
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 5: get the idea that built well, you know, you're not

364
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 5: going to get that pay raise, You're not going to

365
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 5: get this, You're not going to get that as far

366
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 5: as the Social Security check is concerned, and kind of

367
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 5: laying the lines are not allowed, you know, not putting

368
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 5: to rest that you know, you have to look into

369
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 5: the story that no, that SOCI security checks will go out,

370
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 5: but the adjustment may not be done. But again, if

371
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 5: they do this in October, if the government is shown,

372
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 5: I mean the longest government shutdown was like thirty days.

373
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 5: So if it began on October, the first October thirty first,

374
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 5: they got plenty of time for September, for November December

375
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 5: to get this done for the checks to go out

376
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 5: in January. I see no reason that this couldn't be

377
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 5: done and done quickly.

378
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 4: Again. But again, you know we're talking about the federal government,

379
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 4: and we know how slowly they work.

380
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 5: But I think it's just a scare tactic that they

381
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 5: put out there and indicate that well, because of the

382
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 5: government shutdown, these these adjustments may be delayed. Coming up

383
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 5: normally on Thursday, we usually have during the Thursday, during

384
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 5: the day they would have the initial jobless claims. We

385
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 5: have those, but it's not from the federal government and

386
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 5: it's probably a little bit more accurate than that we

387
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 5: were talking about that coming up. I'm Kevin Gordon, America's

00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 10: the night at Cincinnati's mayoral debate with your twelve thirty report,

392

396

Speaker 11: When someone moves here four years ago has no idea

397
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 11: about the history of this city and starts accusing the

398
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 11: collaborative Agreement of making us less safe. I could not

399
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 11: disagree more strongly.

400
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 10: Pear of All said he's committed to upholding the agreement.

401
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,120

402
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 10: The election for Cincinnati mayor is November fourth, thirty minutes ago.

403
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 10: I said it was November fifth. That was a mistake.

Speaker 2: My name is John David Carpton, Doctor Kim Lee Stegmeier correct.

473
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm a medical oncologist and I focus on cancer prevention.

474
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: People are always asking me why why do I do

475
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: this work? Two words come to mind for me. One

476
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: is responsibility, the other's purpose.

477
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 3: There was a child that you know, I took care of,

478
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 3: an adored and she said to me, doctor Kim, you know,

479
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 3: will you remember me forever?

480
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: Sorry, it's been hard year.

481
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 3: Every day I think of the faces of patients when

482
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 3: I say their smiles when I tell them that new

483
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 3: treatments are helping their lives.

484

511
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 14: up the Southeast and an Atlantic coasts over the next

512
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 14: few days.

513
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 5: Seven hundred wlw im Kevin Gordon is as America's struck

514
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 5: In network on Thursday and then we report you know

515
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 5: on our show Friday Mornings like we are today. The

516
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 5: fact that initial job of claims are always reported on Thursday.

517
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 5: This week again with the government shutdown, they said that

518
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 5: the initial job of claims for the second week in

519
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 5: a row is going to be delayed or not be

520
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 5: released at all because because the Bureau of Labor Statistics

521
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 5: is not in, they're not working, they're not doing any

522
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 5: of their reporting, which means that grow domestic product, the

523
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 5: consumer price index, producer price index, all these things that

524
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 5: come in that would actually even affect the Federal Reserve

525
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 5: because they're meeting that I think it's the twenty eighth

526
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 5: and twenty ninth of this month, to determine where they're

527
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 5: going as far as interest rates and their monetary policy

528
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 5: and all that. But those evolve in delayed, and for

529
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 5: some reason, I figured, well, all right, if they're not

530
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 5: releasing it, there's probably not any thing. So I didn't

531
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 5: do any you know, at first, I didn't even look

532
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 5: at it because the chart that says, okay, here's what's

533
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 5: going to be released this week, every one of the

534
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 5: statistics said next to it delayed because of the shutdown.

535
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 5: But I just threw in initial jobless claims just for

536
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 5: the heck of it to see where it would pop up. Amazingly,

537
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 5: and as I mentioned, I think it was Tuesday morning

538
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 5: on the program that there are other agencies out there,

539
00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 5: there are job recruitment sites, there are companies that do outplacement.

540
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 5: There is the ADP that the processing payroll processing because

541
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 5: they have a number of clients that they process their

542
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 5: payroll for. There's another company. There's several different companies that

543
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 5: actually do payroll service. The payroll service is not usually

544
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 5: done in house by the company themselves. It is farmed

545
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 5: out because again all the rules and regulations. As a

546
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 5: side note, when there is a change as far as

547
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 5: how taxes are withheld or whether there's state, city, county

548
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 5: taxes withheld, and there's certain compliance that has to be

549
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 5: done as far as reporting FAIKA and all this sort

550
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 5: of stuff. If those aren't implemented properly at the company level,

551
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 5: there are huge finds that come out as a result

552
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 5: of that. So a lot of companies farm that information

553
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 5: out to other companies like ADP and some of these

554
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 5: other companies. Well, Bengals Stadium used to be Paul Brown

555
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 5: Stadium is now called pay Corps. Pay Core is a

556
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 5: is a big company that actually does payroll processing and

557
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 5: HR services. So they have data in terms of how

558
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 5: many checks they're issuing this week versus how many jobs,

559
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 5: how many they process previous week, last year, all that

560
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 5: data they have that data. ADP does too. That's why

561
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 5: on Tuesday, when we were talking that the normal jobs,

562
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 5: the jobs report, how many jobs were created for a

563
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 5: particular month, that number was reported by ADP and some

564
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 5: other services Challenger, Gray and Christmas, which is a recruiting firm,

565
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 5: and they actually recruit and they're an out they're recruiting

566
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 5: firm and an outplacement firm. So if somebody loses their

567
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 5: job in a well, they lose their job, they go

568
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 5: to them and then they take care of outplacing that

569
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 5: person and maybe finding them another job. So they see

570
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 5: throughout the country how many jobs are being lost, how

571
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 5: many people are being hired, and that so they reported

572
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 5: that information, which is general. You know, their boots on

573
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 5: the ground, they're right there where the rubber meets the

574
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 5: road and they would have the information. Well, same thing

575
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 5: with the jobless claims. On Thursday, Wall Street firms see

576
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 5: hardly any increase in jobless claims during the government shutdown.

577
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 5: The most and now they call this the most accurate

578
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 5: tool to take to track job losses in the economy.

579
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 5: Has been postponed for a second week in a row,

580
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 5: but a little legwork finds that layoffs are still surprisingly low,

581
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 5: even though these economically uncertain times. There has been two

582
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 5: Wall Street firms, Goldman Sachs and Oxford Economics, that drew

583
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 5: up their estimates after looking at publicly released data.

584
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 4: Now, again, as I said before, what we're.

585
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 5: Seeing unusually during Trump's second term is that stuff comes

586
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 5: up and then people dig into it, pull the curtain

587
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 5: back and say, why was this being done this way

588
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 5: instead of this way? How is this available? Why is

589
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 5: the government providing this information? If there's other agencies that

590
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 5: can provide that, why duplicate the efforts. If you've got

591
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 5: bureaucrats in Washington that are basically gathering the data from

592
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 5: these different organizations, why can't these other companies do that

593
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 5: as a service and outplace that. What Again, this is

594
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 5: a situation when they're talking about the unemployment all the

595
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 5: states individually compute what the unemployment because obviously the claims

596
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 5: that the initial jobless claims that are filed that week,

597
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 5: the state would have that information because they're having to

598
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 5: process those claims and pay the checks out. So it's

599
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 5: a simple situation. What making fifty phone calls or whatever

600
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 5: to get to the different states to see, all right,

601
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 5: how many people filed for unemployment? This week, how many

602
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 5: people applied for this. You know, you can probably do

603
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 5: that in the day. And what these Wall Street firms

604
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 5: were doing, we're doing that. I don't know that that

605
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 5: put a big workload on them. But if we've got

606
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 5: the bureaucrats in Washington doing that and this is available

607
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 5: through the individual states, maybe the individual states could get

608
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 5: on a regular basis of reporting to a particular company.

609
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 5: I don't care whether it's a bank, whether it's the

610
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 5: Federal Reserve. I mean, after all, the Federal Reserve has

611
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 5: twenty three thousand employees. I think one of those could

612
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 5: be assigned to maybe collecting this data from all the

613
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 5: fifty states and then reporting that instead of having this

614
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 5: bureaucracy in Washington. But it's interesting Goldman Sachs and Oxford

615
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 5: Economics drew from their estimates. Nearly all states publicly report

616
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 5: the data, but not until after the US Labor Department

617
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 5: releases the official report on Thursdays. So these other companies

618
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 5: get a hold of this data on their own and

619
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 5: compute it after the release is done. The states don't

620
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 5: release their numbers after the federal after the Bureau of

621
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 5: Labor Statistics reports that data. If that number is available

622
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 5: on Wednesday or Tuesday, release the data to somebody so

623
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 5: that they can have it.

624
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 4: For thirty I don't you know, it's like once.

625
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 5: They get into doing things a certain way, it's like

626
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 5: trying to, I don't know, turn a aircraft carrier in

627
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 5: the middle of the ocean as opposed to what should

628
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 5: be being able to turn a speedboat anyway.

629
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 4: Again, nearly all.

630
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 5: States publicly report the data, but not until after the

631
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 5: US Labor Department releases the official report on Thursday. So,

632
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 5: in other words, all these states reports of the Labor Department.

633
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 5: Oxford added that actual or unadjusted job as claims fell

634
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 5: slightly in the seven days end in September twenty seventh,

635
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 5: according to a.

636
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,240
Speaker 4: Rent around one hundred and eighty thousand.

637
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 5: It's extremely low number which has only been matched by

638
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 5: a smattering of time since nineteen sixties. Now there's another

639
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 5: group that looked at this data and said that the

640
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 5: unemployment had gone up to around the previous week had

641
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 5: been two hundred and eighteen up to two hundred and

642
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 5: twenty four thousand, and again this is important. You're probably

643
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 5: asking Kevin Way, why are you dwelling on this and

644
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 5: all this sort of thing, because This is the data

645
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 5: that they use to determine whether or not how the

646
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 5: economy is doing. If the economy is doing poorly, then

647
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 5: you're not going to be going out. You're not going

648
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 5: to be delivering as much good as if people are

649
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 5: out of work. People are unemployed, they're not going to

650
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 5: be buying stuff, which means that the companies aren't going

651
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 5: to be ordering stuff, which means that you're not going

652
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 5: to be delivering stuff. And the fact that we don't

653
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 5: want to operate in a vacuum.

654
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 4: I want to make sure that.

655
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 5: Everybody is aware how strong this economy is, because you're

656
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 5: not going to get it from the spoon fed regurgitators

657
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 5: in the mainstream media. We here on America's struck A

658
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 5: network have been more accurate than some of these so

659
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 5: called economic experts have been. All along again, they kept

660
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 5: talking about unemployment was going to go through the ceiling.

661
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 5: They talked about that there was going to be a recession.

662
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 5: At the beginning of the year, they started talking about

663
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 5: that there was going to be rampant inflation.

664
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 4: We haven't seen rampant inflation.

665
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 5: We have the story yesterday the chicken prices are coming

666
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 5: down eighteen percent and if you look at some of

667
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 5: the stuff, and it depends on when they do their survey.

668
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 5: In terms of inflation, we were just to my wife

669
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 5: and I were just talking the other day that we

670
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 5: were looking at certain prices at the grocery store and said, well,

671
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 5: wait a minute, this number last week was at this number,

672
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 5: and this week it's up here, and then the following

673
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 5: week it was back down to where it was. So

674
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 5: if you're doing your gauge on inflation based on that

675
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 5: middle week where the prices are up, you're going to

676
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 5: get a bad number. And if you don't know what's

677
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,959
Speaker 5: causing these underlying things, like with meat prices, the fact

678
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 5: that our cattle herds are down around the rate that

679
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 5: they were back in the fifties and sixties, you're going

680
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 5: to think inflation is going crazy because of some other

681
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 5: factor other than the fact that it's a matter of

682
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 5: we don't have enough supply. We have very little supply

683
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 5: and the demand is still high. So again, I talk

684
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 5: about these economic data so that your mind's at ease,

685
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 5: so that you know that the economy is not falling

686
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 5: apart the way people would like you to think. Coming up,

687
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 5: we'll talk a little bit more about this. I'm Kevin Gordon.

688
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 5: America struck a Network seven hundred WLW.

689
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 2: Run a business and not thinking about podcasting, Think again,

690
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 2: More Americans listen to podcasts than add.

691
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 3: Support live from the seven hundred WLW studios driven by

692
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 3: Mike Cashtrecy Jeep in Fair Facts now recognized as the

693
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 3: largest volume JEP dealer in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

694
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 3: Mike CASHTRECYJB is the number one jeep dealer in the

695
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 3: tri State. That's Mike CASHTRECJB in Fairfacts.

696
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 5: This is america'struck a Network, seven hundred WLW. I'm Kevin Gordon.

697
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 5: And she got this discussion on the jobos claims. And

698
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,720
Speaker 5: again I find it amazing that, you know, everybody waits

699
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 5: for the numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, but

700
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 5: when those aren't available, they somehow are able to get

701
00:38:55,960 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 5: them on their own. And so I question what or

702
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 5: not we actually need the Bureau of Labor Statistics putting

703
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 5: this information together in the first place. If it's readily

704
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 5: available and other people can tap into it, then let's

705
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 5: do that. Having a massive bureaucracy in Washington doesn't do

706
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 5: us any good.

707
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 4: As as we've seen in the past. They go into the.

708
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 5: Story and they talk about people file for job as

709
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 5: claims when they lose a job. Really, I didn't know

710
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 5: that number of people already collecting unemployment checks meanwhile, likely

711
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 5: hovered around the four year high of one million or

712
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 5: one point nine to three million, which is where it

713
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 5: has been for the last year or so. The fact

714
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 5: that unemployment is still in the range of one hundred

715
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 5: and eighty thousand up to two hundred and fifty thousand

716
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 5: on a weekly basis indicates that the market is strong,

717
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 5: that there's not been rampant unemployment, that there's not been

718
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 5: massive layoffs, and that the doom and gloom that has

719
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 5: been predicted as a result of tariffs and the economic

720
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 5: policy the Trump administration, that this is going to lead

721
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 5: to massive layoffs. But what's interesting is that they keep

722
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 5: saying the same thing week after week after week. The

723
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 5: fact that businesses are in a no hire, no fire position,

724
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 5: and I keep stressing the fact that they're probably in

725
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 5: that position because they are seeing that they have the

726
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 5: number of employees that they need in order to keep

727
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 5: their operations open. They may have, in some cases a

728
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 5: little bit more employees than they need. But after having

729
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 5: gone through the pandemic and had to fire everybody or

730
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 5: terminate everybody because their businesses were shut down, they saw

731
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 5: what it was like to rehire those people and bring

732
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 5: them back to the point where their business has suffered.

733
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 5: The first few months and even up to a year

734
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 5: after the pandemic and businesses were back to normal or

735
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 5: some semblance of order. So they saw all the lost

736
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 5: business opportunities during that period of time, and they're thinking

737
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 5: in terms of when things turn around. And it appears

738
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 5: that every month it seems like we're getting closer and

739
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 5: closer to things exploding in the US economy. For the good,

740
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,439
Speaker 5: they're holding onto their employees. They're not hiring and they're

741
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 5: not firing. And I tie this all to interest rates.

742
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 5: People in the consumer level, if we're paying higher interest

743
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 5: rates on our credit cards, on our cars, the monthly

744
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 5: payments on our cars, monthly payments on your trucks, Companies

745
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 5: paying interest on their fleet, any of the new trucks

746
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 5: that they purchase. Also in terms of any expansion, all

747
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 5: that's being held back because of high interest rates, if

748
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 5: those interest rates were down, And I can't stress this enough,

749
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 5: the fact that the borrowing rate established by the Fed

750
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 5: at four percent, compared to the rest of the industrial

751
00:41:55,160 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 5: world around two percent. We are putting ourselves at a disadvantage.

752
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 5: These other countries are not doing great, but their problems

753
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 5: over there are different than ours. Ours, in my opinion,

754
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 5: is the higher interest rates you free that capital up.

755
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 5: Because every time, let me just we're not going to

756
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 5: get to the story here, but as far as the

757
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 5: oil and gas prices, every time they talk about oil

758
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 5: and gas prices, the one news service agency, Reuters, talks

759
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 5: about that. Okay, With the Federal Reserve dealing with interest rates,

760
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,720
Speaker 5: they always say, there's always.

761
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 4: The sentence in there.

762
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 5: Lower interest rates means there's more money available for consumers.

763
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 5: Consumers spend more and they buy more gas because they're

764
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 5: consuming more energy. Again, they recognize that, they put that

765
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 5: in their story day after day after day, and yet

766
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 5: the knuckleheads at the Federal Reserve can't get that into

767
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 5: their thick skulls, that lowering interest rates actually spurs the economy.

768
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 5: Do they think that by sitting on the sidelines and

769
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 5: doing nothing that something is going to happen. If you

770
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 5: sit on the side and don't do anything, nothing is

771
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 5: going to happen. So anyway, unemployment numbers are all you know.

772
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,280
Speaker 5: They talked about that it may have gone up slightly

773
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 5: from two hundred and eighteen thousand to two hundred and

774
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 5: twenty four thousand. There's a report that it could possibly

775
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 5: the jobs claims be below two hundred thousand for the week,

776
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 5: and we'll see we're not In other words, what the

777
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 5: economists and what people have been predicting from the beginning

778
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 5: of the year, there'd be high unemployment, high inflation, and

779
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 5: a recession, none of which are even on the radar

780
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 5: screen at this point. And so the fact that they

781
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 5: continue to talk about this and keep pushing it forward,

782
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,760
Speaker 5: I think is remarkably stupid in my opinion.

783
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 4: This was interesting. I saw this the other day.

784
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 5: States we saw that situation week or a couple of

785
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 5: weeks ago where Sean Duffy indicated that the Department of

786
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,879
Speaker 5: Transportation was going to take a look at these non

787
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 5: domiciled driver's licenses that have been issued in California and Washington,

788
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 5: and I think in New York also during the time,

789
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 5: there was a story that came out that talked about

790
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 5: that there were actually people that had been pulled over

791
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 5: and they were making what hit the news that the

792
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 5: driver's license said no name given on it. Now, a

793
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 5: lot of that has been looked at and determined that

794
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 5: in some cultures, and honestly, I don't know many cultures

795
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 5: where they just use one name. So if they put

796
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 5: that name on the driver's license by itself, then the

797
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 5: other slot, whether it's the given name or the surname

798
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 5: or whatever, that name is going to show as no

799
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 5: name given rather than as opposed to just leaving it blank.

800
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 5: But a lot of these driver's license had been issued. Also,

801
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 5: Sean Duffy at when we go back to May, remember well,

802
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 5: first of all, in August we had that tragic accident

803
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:09,439
Speaker 5: down in Florida where that illegal alien from India who

804
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 5: who couldn't pass the English Language proficiency exam, made that

805
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 5: illegal u turn and killed three people in Florida. And

806
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 5: that shined a light on how many of these people

807
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:26,720
Speaker 5: have not had English language proficiency, and they started clamping

808
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 5: down on that again that Sean Duffy made the announcement

809
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 5: back in May that they were going to look at this,

810
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 5: that the implementation had to be done by June twenty fifth.

811
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 5: This guy had been pulled over in July in New

812
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 5: Mexico and wasn't pulled out of service and then in

813
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 5: August killed that family down in Florida. Since then, state's

814
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 5: commercial vehicle dragnets snag ELP and CDL violations. Three states

815
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 5: recently ramped up enforcement of federal English Language proficiency rules

816
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:03,320
Speaker 5: and roadside x of immigration status in response to renewed

817
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 5: US Department of Transportation attention to these issues. In a

818
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 5: joint drag net operation, the Colorado State Patrol and Wyoming

819
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 5: Highway Patrol on September thirtieth place sixteen drivers and twenty

820
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 5: four vehicles out of service for a variety of violations

821
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 5: of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rules. In addition, four

822
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 5: arrests were made. Wyoming troopers arrested two commercial drivers vehicle

823
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 5: drivers for repeated offensive driving without a CDL and one

824
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 5: for repeated violations of ELP rules. Colorado troopers arrested one

825
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 5: commercial driver who was on subject.

826
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 4: Of a statewide warrant.

827
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 5: In addition, so you've got these people that have been

828
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:50,959
Speaker 5: issued a citation for violation of ELP or not having

829
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 5: a valid driver's license, and that is reported, That is

830
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 5: public information and is reported back to the company.

831
00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 4: How in the hell.

832
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 5: Are these companies allow allowing these people to go out

833
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 5: and drive. Are these independent truckers that have their truck.

834
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 5: If somebody has been issued a violation for CDL and

835
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,720
Speaker 5: their truck has been pulled out of service, that truck

836
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 5: should be pulled out of service parked somewhere so that

837
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 5: they don't have access to it. And why this is

838
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,479
Speaker 5: continuing to go on, and if this is done by

839
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 5: a company that has hired these people, that needs to

840
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:27,959
Speaker 5: be done. We'll probably have to pick up a little

841
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,399
Speaker 5: bit about this next week when we talk because there's

842
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 5: been some other things that have happened in terms of

843
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,760
Speaker 5: things that have happened as far as non domiciled workers

844
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 5: and how that's being treated and where these things are

845
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 5: popping up in different states around the country. But in

846
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,640
