00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: for Brian James. I'm sure he will come ready to

00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: things the VA is offering for the American veteran. God

00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: chooses to call in this morning. Struggling to decide where

00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to start this morning five on three, seven

33
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,680

00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: five kres. The Morning Show heard from Congressman Taylor joined

41
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: the program. Last week we learned about the Meals on

42
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: Wheels Bust Across campaign got a brand new Meals on

43
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: Wheels facility. I just was overwhelmed with what those Meals

44
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: on Wheels folks does. This is one of the largest

45
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: in the entire country with more than five thousand Meals

46
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: on Wheels locations around the country. We have the one

47
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: of the biggest just the number of meals that they deliver,

48
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 1: one point three million in a facility that was only

49
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: designed to I think prepare what was it three hundred

50
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: or six hundred thousand annually. At bottom line is that's

51
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: why they need a new facility. They're going to be

52
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: able to make three million meals with the new facility.

53
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: And I got the biggest kick out of it. Isn't

54
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: just seniors at home that they're delivering meals to. Those

55
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: seniors quite often have little furry friends, so they also

56
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: deliver a dog and cat food. It's a wonderful things

57
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: seniors with pets. Great way to keep you well around,

58
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: giving you company, giving you companionship, giving you something to

59
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: care for and love. It's a great idea. Heart for

60
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: seniors was on as well. We got the elder care technology.

00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: number yet already? Anyhow, what's legal? I'm confused. I'm sure

66
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: you probably have heard a few days ago. Last week

67
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: we had half a dozen members of Congress that had

68
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: served in the military or intelligence committee urging service members

69
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: and intelligence officials that will be the CIA to disobey

70
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: illegal orders that President Trump may issue. They posted a

71
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: video on X last Tuesday, you had Elisa's Slotkin, who's

72
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: got the big X owner back on this. He's recently

73
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: commented on it. She's not even aware of any illegal

74
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: orders that Donald Trump is issued, but I got a

75
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: comment or two on that anyway. Mark Kelly, Jason Crow,

76
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: Maggie Goldlander, and Chris Deluzio and Chrissy who I am

77
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: all had some military or intelligence experience. All Democrats said

78
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: that threats to our constitution are coming from right here

79
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: at home, and urge military and intelligence community members to

80
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: refuse illegal orders. Quote. No one has to carry out

81
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: orders that violate the law or our constitution. Know that

82
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: we have your back. Don't give up the ship.

83
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: Now.

84
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: Donald Trump came out and called this treason traders a

85
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: told the American military to disciby my orders. Should be

86
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: in jail right now, not roaming the fake news networks

87
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: trying to explain that what they said was okay, it

88
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: wasn't and never will be. Was sedition at the highest

89
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: level and sedition as a major crime. There can be

90
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: no other interpretation of what they said. All right, well,

91
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: you can be on either side of the equation on

92
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: this one, though other interpretation of what they said. He

93
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: is interpreting what they said. I have a question for you,

94
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: answer it. All this revolves around Venezuela one. Do they

95
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: represent an immediate threat to the United States? These drug

96
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: dealers there. Keep going back to the fact they're fifteen

97
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: hundred and two thousand miles away in a boat. That

98
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like an eminent threat to the United States

99
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: to me. They're not storming the border, they're not going

100
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: back to the entire Biden administration, we don't have an

101
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: authorization for US military force. The best of my knowledge,

102
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: there isn't one. You want to try to take the

103
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: one for what nineteen ninety one the invasion of Iraq

104
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: or Afghanistan. I know there isn't one out there, the

105
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: best of my knowledgy it even can closely apply to this.

106
00:05:53,320 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: Congress has not declared war, and in fact, the Senate

107
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: defeated a resolution disapproving of the strikes under the War

108
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: Powers Act fifty one to forty nine vote. So they

109
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: haven't disapproved the strikes, but they haven't approved them either.

110
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: I would say we're in a state of flux, state

111
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: of limbo. Maybe what is lawful and unlawful under our

112
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: constitution as this, you know, refusally illegal order video suggested

113
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: do we even know? And Sloughtin doesn't even know? Been

114
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: an interviewed yesterday on the Sunday Shows this Week with

115
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: host Martha raddits quote from Slockin. So, I think the

116
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: reason we put that statement out is because the sheer

117
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: number of frankly young officers who are coming to us

118
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: and saying, I'm not sure what do I do? You know,

119
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: I'm in South and I'm involved in the National Guard.

120
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what do I do? Slot can claim

121
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: these multitudes of service members coming to them and asking

122
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: the what should I do? Question? We have report after

123
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 1: a report of legal officer JAG officers coming forward and saying, look,

124
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: I push back on this. I'm not sure that this

125
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: is legal. There is such things as illegal orders. Is

126
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: a little sick there, because of course grammatically that was incorrect. Anyway,

127
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: you get to just what she said. That's why it's

128
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: in the Uniform Code of Military Justice going back to Nuremberg, right,

129
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: And it's just that it's totally benign statement, and if

130
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: the president is concerned about it, then he should say

131
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: stay deeply within the law. But I think it's important

132
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: to no, it's not hypothetical, radit's the host. Let's talk

133
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: right now. Do you believe President Trump has issued any

134
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,239
Speaker 1: illegal orders? Slockin's response, to my knowledge, I'm not aware

135
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: of things that are illegal, but certainly there are some

136
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: legal gymnastics that are going on with these Caribbean strikes

137
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: and everything related to Venezuela. Okay, enter Congress, how far

138
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: can a president go? I'm asking for myself and for

139
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: under the constitution, which requires, you know, declaration of war.

140
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: And then we've got the Warpowers resolution, which I don't

141
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: know constitutionally that is constitutional. It's never been tested, but

142
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: at least you've got that, which would require congressional action. Right,

143
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: What does our country do when faced with a challenge,

144
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: in this particular case, massive quantities of drug coming across

145
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: our border? What does our country do when we are

146
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: faced with a challenge like this and we have a

147
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: gridlock deadlock Congress. They can't even agree on what time

148
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: of day it is that The Republicans say it's five

149
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: thirteen or five fourteen on a Monday morning in advance

150
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: of Thanksgiving. The Democrats are going to say, no, it's not.

151
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: I think we could all agree we have a real

152
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: problem with drugs flown into our country. Where does that

153
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: problem spring from? I be first and foremost pointing to

154
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: the people in the country here are using drugs. If

155
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: there was no demand, we wouldn't be dropping bombs on

156
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: boats over in Venezuela. We wouldn't even yeah, in Venezuela,

157
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have this conversation. Trump's talking about doing land strikes?

158
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: Is that lawful flocking? Doesn't know? A couple of sources

159
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: said covert operations in Venezuela likely to be part of

160
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: a new action against Maduro. Nicholas Maduro, president of the Venezuela,

161
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: while two US officials speaking with Reuters said the new

162
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: operations under consideration, including attempt to overthrow the Dureau. This

163
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: is the kind of stuff the CIA engages in all

164
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: the time, screwing around with foreign elections and what's going

165
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: on in foreign governments. We don't do that, Yes we do.

166
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: Cordon Reuters are the official speaking on a condition of anonemity.

167
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: President Trump is prepared to use every element of American

168
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: power to stop drugs from flooding into our country and

169
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: bring these people responsible to justice. Fair enough, what's lawful

170
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: and what's unlawful? If you listen to Slocke and something's

171
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: going on that may be unlawful. These obviously, if you

172
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,479
Speaker 1: take her at her word, these individuals, these young officers

173
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: who are apparently en masked, coming to her asking is

174
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: it lawful? She can't even answer the question yesterday on

175
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 1: the Sunday Show. How far can a president go if

176
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: you have a basically an ineffective gridlock Congress who can't

177
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: do anything, and a threat that doesn't seem to be imminent,

178
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: but obviously a threat is doing vast amounts of harm

179
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: to the United States. I'm at a loss on this

180
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: one Senator round Paul thinks it's going to be a

181
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: problem for the Republican Party. I'm not quite sure about that.

182
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: Talking to Margaret Brennan about the invasion of Venezuela, the

183
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 1: the eminent threat of invasion of Venezuela suggests it might

184
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: splinter or the Republican Party. So, I like a lot

185
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: of people, including myself, were attracted the president because of

186
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: his residence to get us involved in foreign war.

187
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 2: Right.

188
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: But Trump has been launching this campaign designed to eliminate

189
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: the drug traffickers, Paul said, I think by doing this,

190
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: referring to officially designating Venezuela as Cartel de los Solz

191
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: as a foreign terrorist organization. By doing that, Paul says,

192
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: they're pretending as if we are at war. They're pretending

193
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: as if we've gotten some imprimature to do what they

194
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: When you have war, the rules of engagement are lesson.

195
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: But I don't know that designating them a terrorist organization

196
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: allows you to start launching bombs and dropping bombs on

197
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: a country against whom you have no declaration of war. Anyway,

198
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: That's why I'm asking for your breading on this. Apparently

199
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: the troops don't know I don't know about that, but

200
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: put yourself in a position. Are we to do nothing?

201
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: Senator Paul suggests we work here at home to deal

202
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,479
Speaker 1: with the demand problem, which I mentioned a moment ago.

203
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: We should be trying to work on the demand side,

204
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: treating it as a health problem, as an addiction problem

205
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: in our country, and trying to lessen demand. And that

206
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: is part of the overlall solution. Well, I concur with

207
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: you on that. But how many years have been fighting

208
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: the war on drugs? How many programs are out there

209
00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: to help people struggling with drug addiction. It's boiled down,

210
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: I would say complicated. It is confusing. But when it

211
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: comes down to the law and what is lawful and

212
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: what isn't, I think we've run into a colossal train wreck.

213

Speaker 1: Five eighteen right now. Fifty five kr CD talk station

00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: in part an exciting game, which seems unusual for the Bengals.

225
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow walking around on the sidelines. So you want

226
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: to talk to guys, Is Bobby you have anything to

227
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: say today on the fifty five care Morning Show, Sean,

228
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: do you just want to talk to you? Does he

229
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: want to talk? Is you just want to chatter in

230
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: your ear? Because he does that to Strecker all the time. Bobby,

231
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show. Happy Monday to.

232
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 4: You, Happy Monday, monk friend.

233
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: What's going on?

234
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 4: Same thing?

235
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: What you got an answer to my question? Is it lawful?

236
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 4: In the last fifty years? At that was a Vietnam

237
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 4: War ended in nineteen seventy five.

238
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: I was hoping somebody would come up, yes, and North

239
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: Korean's South.

240
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 5: For you.

241
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 4: Prior to that, We've been fifty years and I can

242
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 4: give you a list of seventy some countries that we

243
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 4: went ahead and had military actions in YEP, that's it.

244
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: But does that make it lawful or right? You know me,

245
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: I've said a million times, and I've talked to Napolitano

246
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: about this. I am of the mind that you can't

247
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: just start dropping bombs on people in foreign lands against

248
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: and we have no military conflict. I mean, I don't

249
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: know how we've gotten to this point, Bobby, that I

250
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: really don't. I mean, I could see it. I understand

251
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: about history and what people can get away with. Going

252
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: back to Vietnam, there was no declaration of war. How

253
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: many years are we in there? Fifty thousand plus lives

254
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: lost and not go ahead? Bobby explained it to me.

255
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,119
Speaker 4: No, We've lost fifty some thousand in Vietnam in my lifetime.

256
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 4: I'm older than you, and we have not had a

257
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 4: declaration war in my lifetime.

258
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: Nope.

259
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 4: But I can go all the way to small you

260
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 4: and everywhere in the world that we went ahead and

261
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 4: had military action in and why hasn't Congress done something

262
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 4: about that? It's a great talk.

263
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: It is all talked, all talk fast, all fast, and

264
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: those with the rules for expedience purposes. Because the rule

265
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: the Constitution requires a declaration of war, War Powers Act

266
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: at least requires an authorization for use military force. President

267
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: can use military action as a commander in chief for

268
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: eminent threats to our citizenry here and uh and our

269
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: and our land. But that isn't going on. Like I

270
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: go to the Venezuela and boat drug dealers. They're two

271
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: thousand miles away. You're going to drop a bomb on them.

272
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: You don't know ultimately where they're going to go. You

273
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: can speculate, but we.

274
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 4: Went ahead and declare the individuals as enemy combatants. An

275
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 4: enemy combatant are groups that do not wear the uniforms

276
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 4: of their country. And the way our country is there,

277
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 4: you know they're open, open to take offense against.

278
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: Well, I guess where where does it say just by

279
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: declaration of someone is an enemy combatant? And what is

280
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: the definition of that? And does Congress pass or thumb

281
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: up or thumb down on that? The answer is no,

282
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: of course. Doesn't that make it kind of fast and loose?

283
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: Any given president sitting in the office can declare some

284
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: organization and enemy combatant then draw bombs on them. Look

285
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: what we just did with Syria.

286
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 4: President hit of Syria ahead of tam I I mean,

287
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 4: he doesn't end.

288
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: I know, I just think maybe I sound stupid. I'm not.

289
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to be contradictory or or you know,

290
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,719
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be caging or anything. That it

291
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: has happened doesn't answer the question of where the authority

292
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: comes from and how far and broad is the authority.

293
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: I mean, we're in a moment where, I mean, we're

294
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: in a moment where we really need to ask ourselves

295
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: this question. So that's why I'm raising it. And this

296
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: slot Can issue is kind of cropped up. And even

297
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: she doesn't know she's now telling troops to you know,

298
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: ignore illegal orders. You can't even put her thumb on

299
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: one that she claims is currently illegal. Here, I am

300
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: raising the possibility that some of these actions may be

301
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: illegal for lack of congressional authorization. But she doesn't even

302
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: go down that road. No one seems to know. I

303
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: guess is ultimately where I am on this. That's troubling

304
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: to me. Five twenty five Right now, Scott and Corey

305

00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: great plans for Thanksgiving, and I hope it involves family,

312
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: and I hope it does not involve a political discussion.

313
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,239
Speaker 1: But I love political discussions here on the fifty five

314
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: Jersey Morning. So we'll see what Scott's god got a

315
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: few callers online. Hang on, Tom and Corey, you get

316
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: right with you. Scott, thanks for calling. Happy Monday to you.

317
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: Happy Monday.

318
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 2: Brian.

319
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: Thanks.

320
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 7: I'll just say, desperate times call for desperate measures, and.

321
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 2: I believe you've got everything all.

322
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 7: You're dancing around everything. So Trump empowered through an executive

323
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 7: order to look into the election, those that panel heads

324
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 7: their findings, and so I say that these drug broad

325
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 7: strikes and Cartel de la souls, it's more about what's

326
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 7: about to happen with the findings of the election in

327
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 7: the Venezuelan being in on the dominion and smartmatic the

328
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 7: fest of our elections, which goes back probably at least

329
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 7: a decade, maybe twenty years.

330
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: A second ago. You're referred to the to thecrats. Hold on,

331
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, Scott, hold on,

332
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: I gotta understand what you're talking about. You're referring to

333
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: the Venezuelan elections or our elections, because there's been declarations

334
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: of shenanigans in both. Let me use that term loosely both.

335
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 7: It all starts in Denizwel. They were the results, the

336
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 7: results of the the paneled executive order, the investigation are

337
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 7: going to come out. So that's what these democrats are doing.

338
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 7: They they're following the Podesta Plan and your your viewers

339
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 7: can look that up. So these Democrats, they are an

340
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 7: open sedition and they are at war with the American government.

341
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 2: So that's what I mean.

342
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 7: Desperate times called for desperate measures. So through this the

343
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 7: finding that are about to be released, that's why they're

344
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 7: going on That's why they're going on air telling our

345
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 7: service members to disobey these orders. Since I starts arresting

346
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 7: these conspirators, that's when this is all going to kick off.

347
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 1: Well, it seems to be a rather convoluted chain of circumstances.

348
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: I don't know what this report you're referring to says.

349
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it myself, and based upon your comments,

350
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: it hasn't been released yet, so I don't know where

351
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: you got the information. But how does you know I

352
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: don't know how we are in a position to determine

353
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: whether or not there's been fraud in the event azuel

354
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: In election. We can't even figure it out our own

355
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: system of government here, I mean, and how does Venezuela

356
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: and election interference translate into our using military action? Wouldn't

357
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: you still need And here's my point, going back to

358
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 1: congressional authorization, whatever predicate it is to justify, I mean,

359
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: to the extent military force can be justifed, what is

360
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: the predicate for it? And where is the congressional action

361
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: authorizing an example, authorization for use of military force, declaration

362
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: of war. This is the part that's absent from me,

363
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: regardless of whatever issue justifies or at least makes an

364
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: argument for military justification. So why it's confusing to me?

365
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: And maybe I'm just confused on a Monday morning as

366
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: we go into a long week, I don't know, a

367
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: long weekend. I don't know. Let's see what Corey's got Tom,

368
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: hang on you next, Corey, welcome to the program. Thanks

369
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: for calling. Can you make sense out of this for me?

370
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: Or you want to call up talk about something else?

371
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 8: Well, I can see both sides of it. First song,

372
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 8: I'm calling from Finley, Ohio this week. Hey, good morning Finley,

373
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 8: app But anyhow, I can see both sides of it. One,

374
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 8: I think Trump is technically legal to do what he's

375
00:21:55,359 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 8: doing because the War on Terror still stands, has not

376
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 8: been repealed. So I think that's what gives him the

377
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 8: justification to declare anybody a terrorist group and go after

378
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 8: anywhere in the world the same way Obama used drones

379
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 8: to kill Americans in another country. But about that, no,

380
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 8: I know it's the same thing, the exact same thing,

381
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 8: and Trump is using it for his benefit that it

382
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 8: has a country he could argue.

383
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: But okay, Tom, go ahead. The quote war on terror? Close? Quote?

384
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: Have we declared and authorized a war on terror? And

385
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: isn't that, in and of itself an extraordinarily convoluted argument.

386
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: If a president merely has to sign an executive order

387
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: designating any given group as a terrorist organization, that puts

388
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: them into the fold as an enemy under the umbrella

389
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: of war on terror. Where's the document legal authorization for

390
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: waging a war on terror, which necessarily means waging a

391
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: war on individual groups that are not under color of

392
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: a state flag. That's where the problem unfolded. I guess

393
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: when our framers of the Constitution were contemplating war. You're

394
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: thinking about war between nations, armies fighting armies, and so

395
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,479
Speaker 1: you can certainly see that. Okay, we have a flag.

396
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: They are fighting us, our system of life. They want

397
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: to overthrow the United States. There you go, there's a

398
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: declaration of war. But if you have little fringe elements

399
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: within sovereign nations that the sovereign nation doesn't necessarily support,

400
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: or maybe it does tacitly, but regardless, it isn't there

401
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: foreign policy to go after the United States. How do

402
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: we start launching missiles, dropping bombs and otherwise eradicating people

403
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: that belong to a group within a larger state.

404
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 8: I don't know there's of action after nine to eleven,

405
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 8: which people like Rampaul at the time Senator his father

406
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 8: Rom Paul argued against it, which more people would not

407
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 8: vote a Democrat.

408
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: We wouldn't be in the situation today.

409
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: Okay, as we fast approached Tom's call, appreciate the call man, Tom,

410
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: hang on at a time in the segment, but you

411
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: know I can't cut you off earlier, So we'll take

412
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,800

413
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,720

414
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: pound five fifty on eight and t funds. Friends will

415
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: be on Facebook, and I don't know that you necessarily are.

416
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: I do have, like I'm maxed out of like five thousand. Anyway,

417
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: I kept promising Galaxy Concrete Coatings. I would post them

418
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: before and after pictures. Well there they are. Finally we

419
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: finally had some sunny skies so I can actually show

420
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: you what the project looks like. Amazing, and of course

421
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: I'm talking about maybe not. Of course, if you're hurt

422
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: for the first time my daughter and her fiance's patio,

423
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: you can see how terrible it looked before Galaxy Concrete

424
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: Coatings got involved. WHOA, what an amazing transformation. It just

425
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: looks absolutely beautiful. And that surface they chose from among

426
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty different colors and different surface patterns.

427
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: They picked what they want. They got what they want

428
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: and it looks great. That surface comes with a lifetime guarantee,

429
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: so it's gonna outlive them. And it's so easy, I

430
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: mean pluck one day application, it dried within twenty four hours,

431
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: even though we had a little bit of rain overnight.

432
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: The first day they applied it didn't impact the surface

433
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: looks again fantastic. Get a free quote. Whether you're looking

436
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,720

437
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: in the shape my daughter's and Eric patio look like black.

438

450
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: welcome back, my friend, Happy Monday to you.

451
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, good morning. And I agree with Corey. If

452
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 9: people wouldn't be voting Democrats so much, we wouldn't be

453
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 9: having a lot of these problems.

454
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, but in the context of my out loud,

455
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: I don't understand question when it comes to the legality

456
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: of military strikes. I'm gonna I'm gonna fog here. The

457
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: Republicans also not in complete uniform agreement on what it

458
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: is is necessary to start dropping bombs. I mean Brand

459
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: Paul's run, Thomas Massey's another. I mean, it's not as

460
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: if the Republican Party has locks the immunity. And is

461
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: it okay if the party's locks the immunity for the

462
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: President of the United States of America to start dropping

463
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: bombs where they he damn well pleases. It's a legitimate question,

464
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: Republican or Democrat. Does it make it right if you

465
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: have uniformity in agreement within the party.

466
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 9: No, the law is the law, and it's either right

467
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 9: or it's wrong based on the law. Now, I have

468
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 9: made this next statement multiple times and I'll say it again.

469
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 9: The Constitution is only as good as the people who

470
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 9: are charged with upholding the constitution. So it's like any

471
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 9: law in any city or state or county or whatever.

472
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 9: You know, there is what prosecutorial discretion. You got to

473
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 9: be willing to do something about it. A person, even

474
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 9: if you're filing a personal suit, someone has to be

475
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 9: willing to step up, pork the money over for the

476
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 9: lawyers or what court costs or whatever. Somebody has to

477
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 9: be willing to step out there and say, no, I'm

478
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 9: not going to tolerate this. I'm going to try to

479
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 9: do something about it. And of course, as you know

480
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 9: in Congress, trying to do something about anything is a

481
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 9: very tedious task, and it was intentionally made that way.

482
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,239
Speaker 9: But if enough people are not going to step up

483
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 9: and get in the way of any president's decisions, then

484
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 9: who's going to do anything about it? You know, the

485
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 9: Supreme Court just jump in. They have to have a

486
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 9: case brought to them. Correct, So it's again, who's gonna

487
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 9: do something about it?

488
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: Right?

489
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 9: And I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with it. My answer

490
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 9: is I don't have a freaking clue. I mean, it

491
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 9: sure looks like it's not according to the Constitution, But

492
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 9: I'm no constitutional scholar, but I have enough common sense

493
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 9: to know that if there are plenty of people sitting

494
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 9: in Congress and their staff who know the answer to

495
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 9: this question, and so if they're not gonna do anything

496
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 9: about it, well what are we gonna do? Call it

497
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 9: okay now doesn't mean it's right. It just means that

498
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 9: nobody's gonna do anything about it. And you know, there's

499
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 9: political questions that are usually more important to the people

500
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 9: who should do something about it. Usually operations become more important,

501
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 9: and that's a problem that should not be going on.

502
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 9: But you know, we were dealing with human beings. So

503
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 9: I don't I don't like the way this whole thing

504
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 9: is going. You know, when you can sit there and go, well,

505
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 9: somebody's got to do something about it, Okay, I'll agree

506
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 9: with that, But it doesn't mean you have to do

507
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 9: something illegal.

508
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,719
Speaker 1: You know, this is back to the legality question. This

509
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: is where the gray area is Slotkin screaming about telling

510
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: people to ignore illegal orders, and yet she can't even

511
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: put her thumb on one that she believes to be illegal.

512
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm just questioning the the overall reality of

513
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: where we are. It's complicated. We're dropping bombs on Venezuela,

514
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: and boats were getting ready to drop bombs on Venezuela.

515
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: The country going after the designated narco Terrorist's fine, but

516
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: if some other country decided that they they're gonna label

517
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: Antifa to Oh, I'd love Antipah to be labeled terrorist group,

518
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't you, Tom, I mean they're terrorist organization. Fine, what

519
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: if some other country decided to start dropping bombs on

520
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,959
Speaker 1: Antifa encampments here in the United States? Would we scream

521
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: our heads off about how we've been violated? I think

522
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: we probably would. It's a two way street.

523
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 2: I agree, and you.

524
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 9: What you have here is that you have politicians who

525
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 9: don't want to come out and be specific about what

526
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 9: they're what. They have a problem with the fact that

527
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 9: it's Donald Trump. Now, he he's an easy target. Hey,

528
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 9: they go after him, they fire their arrows and bullets

529
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 9: at him and whatever, and he's still standing. Literally we're

530
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 9: talking about literally and figuratively here. So I don't agree

531
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 9: with everything he does. He kind of makes himself a

532
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 9: target by the way he runs his mouth. One of

533
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 9: the few things I don't like, and well, actually there's

534
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 9: more than to you there's I don't like some things

535
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 9: that he does and decisions that he makes, but he

536
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 9: runs his mouth. I don't like how personal he gets.

537
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 9: He's supposed to be a you know, he's the president

538
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 9: of the United States. Why you got to take make

539
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 9: everything so personal and be insulting. But that's his style

540
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 9: and it's God and where he is today. So you know,

541
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 9: I'm just that's my opinion on it. But these Democrats,

542
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 9: they don't want to really stick their neck too far

543
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 9: out because they're hoping they're Yeah, they don't want.

544
00:30:59,000 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 2: To do that.

545
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: Just like Barack Obama drop bombs on people in foreign countries,

546
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: they don't raise a finger or an eyebrow in in

547
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: argument against it. At the same point, how far are

548
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: you vos?

549
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 9: Illegal orders is a very vague term. It could mean something. Look,

550
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 9: it could mean these Venezuelan things. We don't know. They

551
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 9: won't come out and say exactly what. And I think

552
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 9: it's intentional. They're intentionally not saying, but they are sowing

553
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 9: seas of division and undermining stuff in the military. That

554
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 9: is wrong. It is no doubt that's wrong. Everybody sees

555
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 9: that's wrong, right, and that's Democrats doing that. So add

556
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 9: it to the list. One more reason don't vote Democrat.

557
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 9: Have a great day.

558
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: Always good to hear from you, Tom. Yeah, but the

559
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: Democrats getting even idente for what's legal and illegal see

560
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: It'll be better if they had come out with that

561
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: statement telling do not abide, do not follow this particular

562
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: order and for the following reasons. It's the following reasons

563
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: is what I'm trying to dive down on. Get to

564
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: get to Yes, this is us during the pot of division.

565
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: I understand go after evil Orange man any way you can.

566
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: But there is a large question looming behind this current spat,

567
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: and one that I don't think anybody can answer. Phone

568
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: lines are out, but if you can answer it, I

569
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: love to hear from you. Stick around. We got more

570

Speaker 1: service fee. They do not well. They provide free estimates,

596
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: Brian on the line. Brian, welcome in the morning show.

597
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: Happy Monday to.

598
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 10: You, Happy Monday to you too, Brian, and I bid

599
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 10: you a happy Thanksgiving thanks man you too, Thank you.

600
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 10: You were talking about there was some confusion about on

601
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 10: the Democrats side about what would constitute a legal order,

602
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 10: and I was just wondering would it really make their

603
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 10: heads explode if that order came from a woman, because

604
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 10: they don't know how to define what a woman is.

605
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, the extra confusion to it. And I don't think

606
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: it's just the Democrats are confused. I think the Republicans

607
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: are confused as well. It's a question of his boxes

608
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: being Gordon in terms of this military involvementor military use

609
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: and author and force use. Appreciate my Brian extra complication

610
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: on that one.

611
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 2: Here.

612
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: Let me give props to Mike who sent me an

613
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 1: email earlier. So if someone gave the military illegal orders

614
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: to take a dangerous experimental medical treatment that also violated

615
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: the First Amendment protected religious convictions, can they refuse it?

616
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: Well played, Mike, over to the stack of stupid got

617
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: the blase? An Iowa man has a well an idea

618
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: to help you shake off the blues. Twice last month,

619
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 1: police say danan Airy, thirty years old, stood against the

620
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: rear of his twenty twelve Chevy Impala. And here's in

621
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 1: the rest report quote with his pants and underwear removed

622
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: to his ankles and shirt lifted to casually expose his

623
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: genitals and abdomen to oncoming traffic. Close quote this in

624
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: Iowa City. One question by police, mister Dana and Ari

625
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: reportedly confessed to the indecent exposure criminal complaint. Says Aary

626
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: explained that this behavior was fulfilling his excitement that was

627
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: currently missing in his blah life. That, of course is

628
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: a quote. Investigators say he knew that this behavior was

629
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: inappropriate and unacceptable, as well as offensive to others within view,

630
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: but he did it anyway, apparently as a lengthy rap sheet.

631
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 1: Arrested last week on two indecent exposure counts, being held

632
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: to the Johnson County jail in law of a five

633
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: thousand dollars bond. Interesting jail name for that particular story too,

634
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: if you think about it, just don't think about it

635
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 1: too hard. Portland police last ones they released body camera

636
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: footage of an armed incident happened in Lloyd District. Say

637
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: naked man with a gun seen running before firing a

638
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: shot from a police investigator said an officer hit forty

639
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 1: three year old Robert Hatley with his patrol car after

640
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: officers saw him fire the weapon. Hattleie kept running when

641
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: in an apartment building, was eventually taken into custody after

642
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,959
Speaker 1: officers used a stun gun off and police. Portland Police

643
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: beer reviewing the use of the patrol car as a

644
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: deadly force event. Hattie was taken to the hospital, was

645
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 1: treated and released. Then he went to jail for unlawful

646
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: use of a weapon and fell in possession of a

647
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: firearm dan. Finally, after a planned sexual threesome didn't materialize,

648
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: Florida woman became angry and pummeled her boyfriend in the face.

649
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,720
Speaker 1: The attack witnessed by the woman who had been invited

650
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: to the couple's residents for the three way not Cincinnati

651
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: style Court of Investigators Angeline Court. Forty seven and a

652
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: boyfriend invited his female friend a Clearwater apartment to engage

653
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: in sexual activity. However, this plan was interrupted, police say

654
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: when all parties to find to participate in the sexual activity.

655
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: Rest Hafideva doesn't reveal why the whole idea of the

656
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: threesome was aborted.

657
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:11,959
Speaker 3: That does not make sense.

658
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: Nothing today makes any sense. After this declination of the activity,

659
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: Curly allegedly became angry and repeatedly struck the forty seven

660
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: year old victim in the face as he was seated

661
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: in the couple's living room couch. The female invites he

662
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: accorded to the police, watched Curl strike the victim in

663
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: the face with the closed fists multiple times. After being

664
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: read or Rit's, Curl denied hitting the man. Curl arrested

665
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: about quarter after one in the morning on Sunday for

666
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,919
Speaker 1: domestic battery misdemeanor, and she was released from custody later

667
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,720
Speaker 1: that day on her own recognizance. Of course, the judge

668
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 1: or to Curl to have no contact with the victim.

669
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: That okay, that's why it's in the stack of stupid

670
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: FI fifty six fifty five Kirsteve Talk Station plenty to

671
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: talk about in the six o'clock hour. I would enjoy

672
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: hearing from you. Maybe one of us can ultimately figure

673
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: out the answer to the question, where does the military

674
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: force use come from? By way of approval congressional? Does

675
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: the executive have this power on his own to do it?

676
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: I didn't read it in the Constitution, so I'm puzzled,

677
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: and apparently everyone else is and has been since post

678
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: World War two. Don't go away, I'd be right back after

679
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: the words and uh. Top of the air News w

Speaker 1: eight to two three talk or poundify fifty on AT

690
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: and T phones. Don't know which direction I'm gonna go,

691
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: although I do sud a kind of laughing over the

692
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: un Climate Ox which ended over the weekend. I got

693
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: a couple of comments about that. Segue into well reality

694
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: has drug Home. But real quick here Christopher Smithmen coming

695
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: up at seven twenty with the Smith a vand we

696
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: Got Money Money with Brian James. Fast forward to eight

697
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: oh five for that and casee Cares with Chris Kluke

698
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: from the Insane via about relocating two outpatient clinics in

699
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: the eye Center. Where would the locations be, what are

700
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: they going to offer? We're going to learn about that

701
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: toward the tail end of the program, feel free to call.

702
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, so real quick here. Oh and in

703
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 1: the five o'clock hour, I'm asking the question out loud.

704
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: It would be an ongoing question because I don't think

705
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: anybody can answer it. On the heels of this, slocking

706
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: and other elected officials saying disregard illegal orders obviously put

707
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 1: Donald Trump in a tizzy. She over the weekend can't

708
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: identify any order that Donald Trump is issued that she

709
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: deems to be illegal. So we're in kind of a

710
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: gray area here. But it all swirls around Venezuela. Where's

711
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: the authority come from to start dropping bombs on Venezuela.

712
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: We get an entire carrier group down there. Mean, I

713
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: know they're evil people. I'm not on Maduro's side. I

714
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: think guy's an idiot. He's obviously driven his entire country

715
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: into the toilet. He's probably in bed with an ARCO terrorist.

716
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 1: But I'm looking for a sense of law and order

717
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: in all of this, And you know, I kind of

718
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: leave on the side of Senator Ran Paul. It's like, whoa, whoa,

719
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: what is going on here? And will this fracture the Republicans?

720
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: The attacks on Venezuela and drug boats. I'm not quite

721
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: there yet, but you got Democrat presidents dropping bombs on

722
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: people in countries against whom we have no authorization for

723
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: you some military force and no declaration of war. I

724
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: was against that. I'm against it. If Trump does it,

725
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: tell me where the legal authority comes from, point to something.

726
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: All this stems from, in my estimation, congressional inaction. The

727
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: world continues to move. Our constitution has certain legal requirements

728
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: built into it really don't allow for the dysfunction that

729
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: are we currently have with elected officials. If Congress is

730
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: not going to act, the president's hands seem to be

731
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: tied from a constitutional perspectives, that mean that we just

732
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: have to sort of lay back and take it anyhow.

733
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 1: Moving on, So every leader in the world flies to

734
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: Brazil for this climate Concrience conference, COP thirty flying in

735
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: their private jets, and I read a couple of times

736
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: that they cut down like six hundred thousand acres of

737
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 1: rainforest to build roads and hotels for these idiots. Whether

738
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,760
Speaker 1: or not that figure is accurate, it remains to be seen.

739
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 1: But no one gives a damn when these people fly

740
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: in their carbon dioxide pollutant, belching private jets to Venezuela

741
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: at a rump for a week and a half at

742
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: great expense, and then do nothing, really, which is exactly

743
00:41:54,840 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: what they did when reality hits climate change. The agreement

744
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: that they did reach calls for well tripling the financing

745
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: for climate adaptation. Go ahead and make some sense out

746
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: of that. All I know is foreign governments want to

747
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: tap into the wealthy Western countries to fund whatever it

748
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: is that they need to do by way of adaptation.

749
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: This is a global wealth redistribution scam. I've been saying

750
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,479
Speaker 1: it for years, and I'm wed to that proposition until

751
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: someone can show me something different. Because when the citizenry

752
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: starts demanding power and wind and solar doesn't provide it,

753
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,399
Speaker 1: then you got to start looking someplace else. And that's

754
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: what everybody's doing. In fact, one of the things that

755
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: the European Union was doing was border fees, border fees

756
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: on carbon intensive GOODSS goods well part of the so

757
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: called agreement from the COP thirty conferences. No, No, you

758
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: can't do that. Climate policies should not constitute a means

759
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: of arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination or a disguised restriction on

760
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 1: international trade. So I guess the European Union thought that

761
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: basically taxing carbon intensive goods somehow is going to take

762
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 1: the carbon dioxide out of the air. We all know

763
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 1: what a laugh that kind of proposition is. But now

764
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: here's Cop thirty said, no, you can't do that. You

765
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: know why, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, among others,

766
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 1: expressed what they called implacable opposition. Why because, well, their

767
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,479
Speaker 1: countries are fueled on fossil fuels and they don't want

768
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: these policies to interfere with the sale of their fossil fuels,

769
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 1: revealing a bitter conflict at the heart of the global

770
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: climate politics. Gordon, what are the folks there? It's between

771
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: those who accept the science, laugh about that statement, and

772
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: recognize that the world must wean itself off fossil fuels

773
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,479
Speaker 1: over the next two or three decades man too, maybe three,

774
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: maybe ten, who knows, and those who are actively resisting

775
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: this in order to produce even more of them, in

776
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: other words, fossil fuels. Why are they continuing to produce

777
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: even more of them? Well, because the people need energy.

778
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: That's where we move her to New York, New York

779
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: Governor Kathy Hockel approved a natural gas pipeline that has

780
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: been opposed by the climate lobbying up until a moment

781
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: of time ago. Opposed by Governor Kathy Hockel. Why, well,

782
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 1: that's because they need natural gas to keep the power

783
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 1: running tennds away, and your governor got Shapiro, Josh Shapiro

784
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 1: bailed out of cap and tax program as well last week. Hm,

785
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: what's going on here with these democrats? Ball Street journalm

786
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: and Shapiro showed is or. Mister Shapiro showed his pragmatic

787
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: streak when he used a budget deal with the Republican

788
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: legislators as an excuse to pull out of the regional

789
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: greenhouse gas initiative. Apparently a dozen of so states in

790
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: the northeast of join in this what the journal refers

791
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: to as climate suicide pack, which involves taxing the CO

792
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 1: two emissions of fossil fuel power plants. Ask a question,

793
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: amid rising energy prices, will taxing CO two emissions from

794
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: fossil fuel plants raise or lower your energy bill? Right?

795
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: Apparently the money taking in this stupid proposal would allow

796
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: the states to spend the money on climate boondoggles, as

797
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 1: the journal describes them. The goal is to raise the

798
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:36,800
Speaker 1: cost on fossil fuel plants and make them less competitive

799
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: in the wholesale market against wind and solar power. That's

800
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: the laugh in all of this, isn't it the throat

801
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: cutting that we engage in in an effort to rid

802
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 1: the world of plant food. You artificially increase the price

803
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: of something that works twenty four to seven and can

804
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: be acquired cheaply. That will be the fossil fuel production

805
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: of energy. No, we can't have that. We need to

806
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 1: make it less affordable, So let's start taxing the hell

807
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: out of it. God, these people are insane. This pointed out.

808
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: Fossil fuel plants might have to then shut down. If

809
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: they forced the price to go so high, then well

810
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: they can't do business. General notes. Climate activists will cheer,

811
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,879
Speaker 1: but the result will be a less reliable electric grid

812
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 1: and higher rates for consumers. Blackouts and soaring utility bills

813
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: in the state won't help Shapiro if he runs for

814
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: president in twenty twenty eight. MM tens of eighties and

815
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: other Northeastern states come close to suffering widespread power or

816
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 1: can close to suffering wide spread power outages during the

817
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two Arctic blast the main prout power producer

818
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: PJM interconnection they oversee. The mid Atlantic grid responded to

819
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: the close run catastrophe by increasing payments to fossil fuel

820
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: generators to keep them running. Payments, of course, contribute to

821
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,359
Speaker 1: the contribute to the rising electric rates, and the Cap

822
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: and Trade program would have raised them even more. Well,

823
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: here's fun Residential electric rates have risen by fifty percent

824
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania over the last five years. Now compare that

825
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: to twenty nine percent on average nationwide. Still awfully high,

826
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: artificially high, I might interject. They say. Some estimates suggests

827
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: the Cap and Trade plan would have increased Pennsylvania's electricity

828
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:21,800
Speaker 1: bills between twenty four and thirty six percent by twenty thirty. Meanwhile,

829
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 1: Hopeles approved the pipeline he carried natural gas fracked in

830
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania to New York City and Long Island. Her predecessor,

831
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo blocked that pipeline. Now, the state desperately needs

832
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: more natural gas to keep the lights and heat on.

833
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: Winter times coming state grid operators one blackouts could happen

834
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: as soon as next summer, and as a result of

835
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: the nuclear and gas plant retirements. Yeah, see the European

836
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: Union on hell. Well that's working out. Germany is nearly bankrupt.

837
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: Gas plans sometimes have to run on oil during heat

838
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: waves of frigid weather. But this is this is expensive

839
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 1: and violate state emission standards. So go back to the pipeline.

840
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: Hoko may fear an even bigger catastrophe gas shortage, which

841
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: happened back in twenty twenty two Christmas freeze nearly caused

842
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,760
Speaker 1: the city's pipes to lose pressure. Apparently, had that happened,

843
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 1: the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission warned that the entire gas

844
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: system would have to be shut down, maybe for months,

845
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: leaving natural gas customers without heat in the middle of winter.

846
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:33,240
Speaker 1: Somebody wrote wtf after that comment, going back to reality,

847
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: how do we stop that from happening? Governor Hochol MSS,

848
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: former Green champion, says we need to build a damn pipeline.

849
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,919
Speaker 1: New York's environmental regulators, who previously rejected the pipeline, said

850
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: in September it is needed to maintain a reliable gas system. Quote,

851
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:54,800
Speaker 1: we need to govern in reality. Miss Hokeel said after

852
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: approving the pipeline, kind of like Cop thirty we need

853
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: to well Haram In reality, Saudi Arabians are a little

854
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: upset we're going to tax their products, so we can't

855
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: have that. Let's not mention really carbon dioxide in any

856
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: COP thirty agreement that comes out. Why well, people keep

857
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 1: building gas plants and coal plants in this world to

858
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:21,720
Speaker 1: keep up with the with the demand. Their citizenry needs electricity.

859
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 1: And then there's this pesty ai facilities out there which

860
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,240
Speaker 1: the entire world is clamoring for, which is up massive

861
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: quantities of power. So reality runs headlong into this green

862
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: alarmist nonsense, and it appears that reality is winning the day.

863
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 1: Makes me happy. Stephen Chris, I see you are on

864
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 1: the phone. I will be happy to take your calls

865
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: when I get back. I said, to get that out

866
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: of my system, maybe stir the pot of conversation here

867
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: on the fifty five Cassing Morning Show. Don't go away,

868
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: be right back, fifty five car Detox station, wany I

869
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: figure out Cassite talk station and going to go straight

870
00:49:58,239 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: to the phone. It's got a couple of callers. We're

871
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,879
Speaker 1: kind of up this there on hold there while I yack.

872
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 1: And in the last segment, we're going to order which

873
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: they receive, which means Steve is first. Chris hang on, Steve,

874
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: welcome to the show, and thanks for holding.

875
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:16,280
Speaker 11: So you did start the conversation. Pot let's see first topic.

876
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 2: So it was.

877
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 11: The military in the UH about South America. Well, just

878
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 11: because they're doing something somewhere doesn't mean that's why they're

879
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 11: in the area. Maybe something else is going on in

880
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 11: this Commander in chief I think he has a powered

881
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 11: moving military around and has to yas Congress after so

882
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 11: many days. So that topic, I mean, just because they're

883
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 11: doing something, it's like a rodeo clown. So over here,

884
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 11: look over here.

885
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: Point acknowledge and well taken, Steve. Just because we move

886
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 1: a carrier group to any place, any given place, it

887
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: happens all the time. Obviously it's done to show a

888
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: military flex of muscle. There hasn't been a missile launch

889
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: into the interior vent as well. Those ships can be

890
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 1: sent anywhere. As commander in chief, he absolutely has that authority.

891
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,720
Speaker 1: My bigger point is the actual blowing up of boats

892
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,320
Speaker 1: and the what seems to be imminent launching of strikes

893
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: into the interior Venezuela and the designation of that group

894
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:07,320
Speaker 1: as a terrorist Organization questioned whether that gives the President

895
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 1: of the United States of America the authority to launch

896
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: military strikes. And that's where my puzzle, my being puzzled

897
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: comes from. I don't know that it does. I don't

898
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,760
Speaker 1: think it does. No one seems to know. Even Slotkin,

899
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: who's telling American military forces in the CIA to disregard

900
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 1: illegal orders, can't even put her thumb on what she

901
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: believes to be an illegal order or identifying one that

902
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is issued yet, so everyone seems being a

903
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: state of confusion.

904
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 2: Steve Correat, that's right now.

905
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 7: Data centers.

906
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 11: A small data center has about ten megs a backup

907
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 11: diesel fuel energy. The one in Elebanon has like fifty megs,

908
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 11: and so up northeast Northeastern states. They wanted all these

909
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:45,800
Speaker 11: data centers up there until they found out the backup

910
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 11: was diesel fuel, and so they canceled all their all

911
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 11: the stuff. They didn't want them up there.

912
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 1: Seriously.

913
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, in Lebanon, Ohio, you're talking about the natural gas

914
00:51:56,360 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 11: line didn't have the power to compress the gas. Well,

915
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 11: the bill one eleven in right now. But the Union's

916
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 11: around here to love and big, you know. Construst is

917
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 11: love the fact that all this construsting being done. But

918
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 11: the data center after built has like ten people in it,

919
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 11: so you have a lot of supporting, you know, trades

920
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 11: keeping this building running.

921
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but as.

922
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 11: For hiring people to come in and work, it's not

923
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,280
Speaker 11: a factory computers.

924
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 1: In a dark room. In my mind's eye, I can energy.

925
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,399
Speaker 1: I can only concede Steve, that's exactly right. I mean,

926
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,479
Speaker 1: how many people do you need to run an AI

927
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 1: FA soley, I don't know, but it's not like an Amazon,

928
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, fulfillment center where you need a whole bunch

929
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: of people to process the goods. So, but I guess

930
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: that's where we are. Where at phase one, which is

931
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,720
Speaker 1: construction jobs and building and this this this quote unquote

932
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 1: investment of billions of dollars to do exactly that. Phase two,

933
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 1: of course, will be the role out of the artificial

934
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 1: intelligence facilities. What is Phase three? Is it profit or

935
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: is it the elimination of our jobs? I certainly know

936
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: that Phase three will involve massive quantities of electricity consumption.

937
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 1: And the only golden thing I can see in all

938
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: of that is it may lead to all of us

939
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:08,839
Speaker 1: having nuclear plants, small modular reactors which never go out

940
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,359
Speaker 1: and provide us with abundance of electricity and allow us

941
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 1: to move forward with a booming economy that isn't contingent

942
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,919
Speaker 1: upon capturing carbon dioxide. Thank you, Steve, appreciate it. Let'sen

943
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: what Chris has got. He was kind of the whole Chris,

Speaker 8: for keeping me company on my drive. I'm driving to

947
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 8: Florida this morning.

948
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: So, oh, you're right, you're on your way to Florida. Chris.

949
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 1: Sean put up that you were heading to Lexington. I

950
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: thought that was your destination, but that's just to stop

951
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 1: off on the way to the to the Sunshine State.

952
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: Where are you heading in Florida? If I can ask? Enviously, Chris,

953
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: I'm going down to the north side of Orlando, going

954
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: to spend Thanksgiving with.

955
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 8: My family and also doing some work down there.

956
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 1: So good for.

957
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 8: Nice seeing these two dollars and fifty six cent gas prices.

958
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 8: UH as well, But but no real quick, I was

959
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 8: listening to your uh several of the callers where you

960
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 8: were talking about, you know, the UH unlawful orders in

961
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 8: the video that several of these democrats, you know, politicians

962
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 8: did Uh. Your point is spot on, you know, talking

963
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 8: about the legal ramifications, and if you look at the

964
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 8: clandestine stuff that the CIA has done over the years,

965
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 8: you know there there's always a number of different angles

966
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 8: that where you ask why, But for government officials to

967
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 8: do a video to proactively talk about president and unlawful

968
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 8: orders when they themselves can't even tell you what was

969
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 8: unlawful is beyond the pale.

970
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 2: Uh.

971
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 8: And I got to tell you for all of the

972
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 8: talk that we've heard in the last you know, four

973
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,839
Speaker 8: and a half years about January sixth, and how we've

974
00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 8: had that cram down our face and how that is

975
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:06,320
Speaker 8: seditious behavior for a politician to go out and say.

976
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:07,240
Speaker 2: What they did on that video.

977
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 8: I mean, it really makes me want to barf. And

978
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 8: kudos to you for stating that when challenged, you know,

979
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 8: some of these same people about what was the name

980
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 8: and on lawful order and they can't do it right

981
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 8: On all of these news programs, they have not been

982
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 8: they've not said that, So it is it is beyond

983
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 8: the pale, And kudos to you for stating that they

984
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 8: you know, they can't even say what it was right.

985
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 1: Well, but see, to me, I agree with you. I

986
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 1: think it's terrible. I don't like the division of this country.

987
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 1: I don't like the idea of underminding American military. But

988
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,479
Speaker 1: it invites the question that I've been asking all morning, Chris,

989
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: and that is, okay, they can't even identify what is

990
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 1: quote unquote unlawful, and I step back from this current

991
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 1: issue the slot can you know pronouncement with the other Democrats,

992
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: and that started this conversation, and I think it's a

993
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 1: worthy discussion to engage in because the question of lawful

994
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: when it comes to the use of military force is

995
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: one that remains open now. I mean, for me, the

996
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 1: Constitution says declaration of war period, end of story. There's

997
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 1: nothing in there called a War Powers Resolution which was passed,

998
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,720
Speaker 1: and I know that that gives them some apparent flexibility.

999
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 1: We could argue all day long about whether even that

1000
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: is constitutional, but that hasn't been used to provide Trump

1001
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: with the authorization to drop the bombs at least right

1002
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:33,280
Speaker 1: now on ships. I anyway, I don't mind the discussion

1003
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 1: to talk about lawful and unlawful when it comes to

1004
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: the use of military force. It's just something that I

1005
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,799
Speaker 1: think should be used only only only when we are

1006
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,839
Speaker 1: I think under attack six twenty six and what does

1007
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 1: it mean to be under attack? Chris? Thank you so much.

1008
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,240
Speaker 1: Safe travels man. I hope you enjoy yourself in Florida

1009
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: and you have a wonderful, wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.

1041
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 1: couldn't serve food that was actually sold at rallies. I'm

1042
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 1: thinking drugs here. Maybe facing now a number of charges

1043
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,880

Speaker 1: involved in the incident. Police identified the decedent no longer

01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 1: with his forty five year old David Leonard from Aberdeen.

01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 1: They're investigating the incident. No meption of drugs or alcohol

1081
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: or aairman being related. Ripley County, Indiana, we have an

1082
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 1: Aurora man now facing an attempted murder charge after driving

1083
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 1: into another man after a crash this passed week. According

1084
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 1: to Indiana State Police, troopers from the Sales Post, alongside

1085
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 1: deputies from the Ripley County Sheriff's Office and Jefferson County

1086
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 1: Sheriff's Officer, responded to the crash on US four to

1087
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 1: twenty one near Michigan Road. Jefferson County. Troopers found the

1088
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 1: driver of a ninety one Chevy truck, forty six year

1089
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 1: old Larry Webster. The second rear ended another vehicle while

1090
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 1: traveling northbound on US four twenty one. After the other

1091
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 1: driver exited his vehicle, Webster allegedly intentionally struck the vehicle

1092
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 1: a second time and struck the driver who was standing

1093
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: next to the vehicle. Webster then fled the scene in

1094
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 1: his truck. Indiana State Patrol troopers located him in an

1095
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 1: abandoned truck on Old Michigan Road in Ripley County. Webster

1096
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 1: was located walking nearby. When taking Webster into custody, and

1097
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 1: altercation occurred and a trooper was injured, treated and released

1098
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 1: at a local nearby hospital. The troopers was driver of

1099
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 1: the vehicle that Webster struck, also injured and transported to

1100
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 1: a nearby hospital. Webster was taken to hospital in Madison

1101
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 1: before being taken to a second hospital for additional evaluation,

1102
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: later released and then booked finally into the Jefferson County

1103
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 1: jail charged with attempted murder six thirty six. Right now,

1104
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 1: fifty five KRC, the Talk station calls our welcome, other

1105
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:26,960
Speaker 1: topics in front of me. Whichever way you want to

1106
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 1: go is a okay with me? Regardless, We'll be right

1107
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 1: back after these brief words.

1108
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 6: This is fifty five KRC, an iHeartRadio station, Give Hope, Give.

1109
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 1: At six forty at fifty five KRC, the Talk Station,

1110
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 1: and a Happy Monday, T five one, three, seven, nine,

1111
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:50,200
Speaker 1: fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three

1112
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 1: talk two pound five fifty on eighteen T phones. I'm

1113
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 1: a big proponent of cash. I find it a great

1114
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 1: way of managing finances. If you, you know, set yourself

1115
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 1: an allocated limit, you withdraw some cash at the beginning

1116
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 1: of the week, and you use that to fund your purchases.

1117
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 1: It's built in budget control. You've limited the amount of

1118
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 1: money it's in your pocket. Credit cards. I know how

1119
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 1: easy it is to grab a credit card and just

1120
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 1: buy something. So it's just a way that I, throughout

1121
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 1: my wife, have tried to manage my finances. So I

1122
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:21,919
Speaker 1: still I am a big fan of cash these days.

1123
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 1: The other component of it is and I'm not paranoid.

1124
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 1: I don't think really big brother is watching me in

1125
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighty four cents, although it's easy to come

1126
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 1: to that conclusion these days, but well, you know, I don't.

1127
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 1: I really don't like the idea of credit card companies

1128
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 1: just assuming or you know, compiling all of this data

1129
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 1: on what I buy and don't buy. You know, my

1130
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 1: second amendment, loving friends, is special designation for when you

1131
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 1: use your credit card at a lawful business that sells

1132
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 1: firearms and related products and services. You know, why do

1133
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,880
Speaker 1: they need to know that? So just a little extra point.

1134
01:03:55,920 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 1: But I like the cash, and I don't like places

1135
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 1: that don't take cash. I mean, read your currency for

1136
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 1: all debts public and private. It is legal tender. So

1137
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 1: I kind of like this thing going on. Ohio. We well,

1138
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:15,480
Speaker 1: if the legislators passed what this called the currency Access

1139
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 1: to spend here. Obviously cash currency access to spend here.

1140
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 1: That would require businesses and government offices to accept cash

1141
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 1: for payments up to five hundred dollars. I don't know

1142
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 1: why the cap is there. The bill will require businesses

1143
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 1: and government entities to provide at least one point of

1144
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,200
Speaker 1: sale location that accepts cash whatever, as long as they

1145
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 1: accept cash. Also bans them from charging those using cash

1146
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:45,680
Speaker 1: for a transaction at a higher price than those using

1147
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 1: other payment methods, and I found that actually laughable. The

1148
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 1: businesses have to pay a percentage of the transaction to

1149
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 1: the credit card companies, so you know they're losing out

1150
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 1: on to a certain degree if they accept credit cards.

1151
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 1: So the idea that they might charge you more for

1152
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 1: using cash kind of mix just just makes that absurd.

1153
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 1: I had lunch with my mom over the weekend and

1154
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:14,919
Speaker 1: then we were at a small little Greek place over

1155
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 1: on the West side and shivvy it real nice place,

1156
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:21,960
Speaker 1: and they give you a discount for paying cash in

1157
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 1: amount of a little over a dollar on our small tab,

1158
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 1: So I liked that anyway. O High State Representative Dave

1159
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:31,120
Speaker 1: Thomas behind this. He introduced it its House Bills five

1160
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:33,960
Speaker 1: point fifty four he said, It's simple. Cash is the

1161
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 1: basis for business in America. Our taxpayers should always have

1162
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 1: the ability to use cash in their daily lives. I

1163
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 1: hear from residents who may not trust virtual payment options

1164
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:42,840
Speaker 1: or just prefer to use physical cash.

1165
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 8: Me.

1166
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 1: This bill balances the needs of government and businesses to

1167
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 1: be efficient with the ability to still rely on physical currency. Yeah,

1168
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:54,919
Speaker 1: and you can still use just work them me here

1169
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 1: talking about the power going off, and the last segment

1170
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 1: about the people waking up these global war alarm is

1171
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 1: waking up to the reality that oh okay, yeah, well

1172
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 1: we need regular, always running power. Doesn't matter where it

1173
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 1: comes from. If the electricity goes off, we got a

1174
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 1: problem on our hands. We being the elected officials worrying

1175
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 1: about their jobs, You and I worrying about how cold

1176
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:17,920
Speaker 1: it is outside. We don't want windmills and solar panels

1177
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 1: providing the basis for our life. Literally, But if the

1178
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 1: power does go out, I can take my cash and

1179
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 1: I can go someplace and buy stuff with it. You

1180
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:30,439
Speaker 1: can't do that with a credit card if the powers off.

1181
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 1: Can you just an extra wrinkle in this? Apparently, Target, Walmart,

1182
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:39,000
Speaker 1: and Costco are moving towards self checkout methods that don't

1183
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:42,040
Speaker 1: accept cash, And of course, I'm sure you've run into

1184
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 1: this in many occasions. I've been to the Krugger and

1185
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: I've seen those you know, self checkout aisles where you

1186
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 1: must use a credit card. There's a little cash thing

1187
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:53,480
Speaker 1: right there, but it apparently is inoperable the most times,

1188
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 1: or maybe it's not operable at all by design. So

1189
01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 1: what say you about cash as an option? And I

1190
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 1: appreciate businesses and their ability to have some flexibility when

1191
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 1: it comes to how they want to run their business.

1192
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 1: Nobody is more profound believer in the rights of businesses

1193
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 1: to decide their practices than me. And I think refusing

1194
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 1: cash in yours not to the business's benefit because it's

1195
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 1: just one more payment option that is available to there

1196
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:28,160
Speaker 1: would be customers. But the currency is legal tender for

1197
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 1: all debts, public and private. I'm going to hang my

1198
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:34,480
Speaker 1: hat on that from a legal perspective, and I would

1199
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 1: encourage businesses to continue to honor cash for the transactions.

1200
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:41,720
Speaker 1: Your thoughts, maybe you want to deal with that cash.

1201
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:46,439
Speaker 1: I don't like that. It's just in this Well, I'll

1202
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 1: go back to the Orwellian world in which we live

1203
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: and in the massive accumulation of all this data about

1204
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 1: you the individual. Just depriving them of one more method

1205
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 1: just puts a smile on my face. Six forty five

01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 1: Hatter's gonna be talking about some cool tech gadget, sounds

1231
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 1: like stuff he doesn't object to. You know, parents really

1232
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 1: need to watch out for artificial intelligence toys. There was

1233
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 1: an advisory issued by a group out there, an advocacy

1234
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 1: group called fair Play, warning you parents against buying artificial

1235
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:27,680
Speaker 1: intelligence toys for the children. This advisory endorsed by more

1236
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:30,600
Speaker 1: than one hundred and fifty child development and digital safety experts.

1237
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 1: AI toys, they say, are chatbots that are embedded in

1238
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 1: everyday children's toys like plus these dolls, action figures, or

1239
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:41,440
Speaker 1: kids robots, and use artificial intelligence technology designed to communicate

1240
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:44,880
Speaker 1: like a trusted friend and mimic human characteristics and emotions.

1241
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 1: And they gave a bunch of examples, a bunch of

1242
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:49,719
Speaker 1: toys that I'm not familiar with, but they're all out there,

1243
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:51,519
Speaker 1: and the more and more, these toy makers are going

1244
01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 1: to be incorporating AI into the toys, and they market

1245
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:58,559
Speaker 1: these to children as young as infants, which is scary stuff. Now,

1246
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:00,320
Speaker 1: recently there's a lawsuit five you ma, we have heard

1247
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 1: about a fourteen year old committed suicide after engaging with

1248
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 1: an artificial intelligence entity out there that triggered suicidal thoughts.

1249
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:12,519
Speaker 1: We'll see how the litigation works out on that. But

1250
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:18,639
Speaker 1: some frightening stuff revealed by this particular advocacy group one

1251
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:21,320
Speaker 1: page advisory a bunch of different reasons why you should

1252
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:24,360
Speaker 1: not indulge your children with AI toys. They're typically powered

1253
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:26,880
Speaker 1: by the same intelligence that has already harmed children, which

1254
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 1: we have these suits about, we have all these reporting about.

1255
01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:36,639
Speaker 1: They suggest the toys prey on children's trusts, disrupt healthy

1256
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 1: relationships and the ability to build resilience, invade family privacy

1257
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:44,599
Speaker 1: by collecting sensitive data, and displace key creative and learning activities.

1258
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,160
Speaker 1: Accord to the advisory. You know, because when children play

1259
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:51,439
Speaker 1: with a standard Teddy Bear, it's pointed out they use

1260
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 1: their imagination and engage in pretend play, supporting critical foundational development.

1261
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 1: But artificial intelligence substitutes that your kid becomes basically a

1262
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 1: mindless entity absorbing this back and forth communication designed to

1263
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 1: build your child's trust, and may end up sending them

1264
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 1: off in some crazy direction. And we've got lots of

1265
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 1: illustrations of that crazy direction. After collecting private details about

1266
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:25,640
Speaker 1: family and children, the advisory said, AI toy companies can

1267
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,639
Speaker 1: use all of this intimate data to make their AI

1268
01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:33,679
Speaker 1: systems more lifelike, responsive, and addictive, allowing them to build

1269
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:38,200
Speaker 1: a relationship with the child and ultimately sell products and services. Well,

1270
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 1: you hope it's only ultimately designed to sell product and services.

1271
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:43,720
Speaker 1: All that's nefarious in and of itself. Your children do

1272
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:49,200
Speaker 1: not have the educational and you know, foundational ability to

1273
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:53,439
Speaker 1: cope with this. This isn't an adult sitting and you know,

1274
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 1: using logic and reason going, well, I can see through

1275
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:57,720
Speaker 1: this crap. You know, they're just trying to sell me

1276
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:07,840
Speaker 1: a product. Children don't have that. Rachel Franz, director of

1277
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:11,759
Speaker 1: Fairplace Young Children Thrive Offline Program, companion AI is already

1278
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 1: harm teams. Stuffing that same technology and acute kid friendly

1279
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:19,120
Speaker 1: toys exposes even younger children to risk beyond what we

1280
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:23,760
Speaker 1: currently comprehend. She said, it's ridiculous that these toys are

1281
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:26,960
Speaker 1: unregulated and being marketed to families with the promise of safety,

1282
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:29,800
Speaker 1: learning and friendship promises that have no evidence behind them,

1283
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:34,719
Speaker 1: while mounting evidence shows that similar technology can do real harm,

1284
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:37,720
Speaker 1: just suggesting the risk is simply too great. Let your

1285
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 1: children develop their minds without this AI involvement. It's bad

1286
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:45,640
Speaker 1: enough we give them smartphones at a young age, but

1287
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:49,160
Speaker 1: when you have artificial intelligence telling children to do really

1288
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:52,639
Speaker 1: kind of bizarre things. And there's been some crazy stories

1289
01:12:52,680 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 1: about this, notably when kids commit Suicidekids who are on

1290
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:05,160
Speaker 1: life's psychological margins obviously are at a greater risk of

1291
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 1: being impacted by this. So it's Black Friday coming up.

1292
01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:15,720
Speaker 1: Do the responsible thing you've got young children. Maybe get

1293
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 1: them the plain old Teddy Bear and not the AI

1294
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:20,880
Speaker 1: teddy Bear. It'd be good for him in the long run.

1295
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:22,640
Speaker 1: Maybe Dave Hatter will be talking about this. I know

1296
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:24,840
Speaker 1: we talked about the Internet of Things devices all the time,

1297
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:29,960
Speaker 1: and I can't imagine Dave Hatter embracing this as a

1298
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:33,639
Speaker 1: great concept. Buying them that is for your children. Embracing

1299
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:37,200
Speaker 1: that is a great concept for your child's development. Be

1300
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:39,120
Speaker 1: wary out there. Six stifty five. Don't go away. We

1301
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 1: got Christopher smith and coming up after the top of

1302
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 1: the air news at seven twenty with the Smither event.

1303
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:45,840
Speaker 1: I'll take phone calls between now and then, and I'll

1304
01:13:45,880 --> 01:14:03,840
Speaker 1: be right back after the news seven oh six here

1305
01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 1: at fifty five k ror CD talk station. That's something

1306
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:08,840
Speaker 1: you want to talk about, you feel free to call me.

1307
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:11,719
Speaker 1: Joe Strecker on vacation today, Sean McMahon behind the board

1308
01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:15,719
Speaker 1: building phone calls, making sure everything's well oiled, and looking

1309
01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:17,800
Speaker 1: forward to Christopher Smithman coming up at seven twenty. I

1310
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:19,880
Speaker 1: always look forward to hearing Christopher on the program for

1311
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:21,479
Speaker 1: the Smither Van, and I don't know what he wants

1312
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:22,800
Speaker 1: to talk about today. I don't even know what the

1313
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:24,920
Speaker 1: topics are with Brian James Day, although I did exchange

1314
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:27,920
Speaker 1: emails with Brian Sincetreker is gone. He's going to be

1315
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:30,080
Speaker 1: shooting me the topics before eight oh five, one hour

1316
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:33,360
Speaker 1: from now, when we do money Monday. Uh care see cares.

1317
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:35,760
Speaker 1: We're going to hear from the Cincinni VA's Chris Clue today.

1318
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 1: Apparently they've got a couple of new outpatient clinics and

1319
01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:39,800
Speaker 1: an eye center that are opening. We're going to find

1320
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:41,760
Speaker 1: out about those locations. What they are for, and of

1321
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:44,559
Speaker 1: course get an update on veterans enrollment of the VA.

1322
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 1: Take advantage of everything you earned. It is the right

1323
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:49,880
Speaker 1: thing to do, some great medical care. And we've got

1324
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:52,799
Speaker 1: some good people at the Cincinni VA, so love supporting

1325
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:55,320
Speaker 1: the American veteran Just remind you you got benefits out there,

1326
01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:56,800
Speaker 1: so the details coming up at the end of the

1327
01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:59,320
Speaker 1: next hour. Feel free to call five one, three, seven,

1328
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two

1329
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 1: to three top pound fix fifty on AT and T phones.

1330
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 1: Remember to Mar's lineup, including a special Tuesday edition of

1331
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 1: Tech Friday, we'll call it Tech Tuesday tomorrow, plus Warren

1332
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 1: Davidson among others on the show tomorrow. Okay, I know

1333
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:16,880
Speaker 1: you got this whole thing swirling around Representative Marjorie Taylor

1334
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:19,640
Speaker 1: Green's resignation from Congress, and of course she had a

1335
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:22,720
Speaker 1: bit of a spat with Donald Trump. And you know,

1336
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:25,920
Speaker 1: to my always Trump thumbs up listening audience, in this

1337
01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:29,400
Speaker 1: particular case, I don't think Trump's really his response was

1338
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:34,559
Speaker 1: necessarily appropriate. Tends to fly off the handle a little bit,

1339
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:36,400
Speaker 1: but one of the things she was talking about is,

1340
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:38,719
Speaker 1: you know, he's emphasis on foreign policy. He's not paying

1341
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:41,200
Speaker 1: attention to domestic issues. And I know he promised to

1342
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:44,879
Speaker 1: bring that inflation. Ask yourself, how can any present president

1343
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 1: bring down inflation? You just wave one. The printing press

1344
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 1: is still running. You thank the Bideny administration for plumbing

1345
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:57,160
Speaker 1: in trillions and trillions and trillions of additional dollars into

1346
01:15:57,200 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 1: the economy. A lot of it went to fraud, waste,

1347
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:02,400
Speaker 1: and abuse, which is always in number one in my

1348
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:07,080
Speaker 1: mind in terms of what Congress should start with. Eliminate

1349
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 1: the possibility of fraud, waste, and abuse. Well, in the

1350
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:10,679
Speaker 1: area of healthcare is one of the things she's critical

1351
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:12,400
Speaker 1: about the Trump administration. We got to do something to

1352
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:16,519
Speaker 1: fix the problem with healthcare. Yeah, I'll agree with that. Well,

1353
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:19,280
Speaker 1: apparently the Trump administration is supposed to roll out a

1354
01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:23,519
Speaker 1: new plan that's aimed at curbing rising healthcare costs. What's

1355
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:29,639
Speaker 1: in this one Healthcare Price Cuts Act. This proposed legislation

1356
01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:33,639
Speaker 1: again could come out as early as today. It would

1357
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:38,719
Speaker 1: prevent premium spikes under Obamacare. We only have a general

1358
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:43,479
Speaker 1: framework on this apparently today, as early as today, we're

1359
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:46,679
Speaker 1: gonna hear from Trump, doctor Mendment Oz and the Centers

1360
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 1: for Medicare and Medicaid services corner of the officials. Scott Mescent,

1361
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:52,800
Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary, was on the meet the press over the

1362
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:56,040
Speaker 1: weekend yesterday in fact, saying that there's gonna be announcement

1363
01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:59,800
Speaker 1: on this about tackling healthcare costs. Drum roll, maestro, what's

1364
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:05,920
Speaker 1: gonna be John's proposed legislation again, the Healthcare Price cuts

1365
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:08,679
Speaker 1: Actor Court of both White House and other officials would

1366
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:13,160
Speaker 1: seek to end what they referred to as quote surprise

1367
01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 1: premium hikes generated by the ACA. Now, the painful reality

1368
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:28,120
Speaker 1: of Affordable Care Act is it's not affordable and it's

1369
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:31,360
Speaker 1: becoming like the insurer of last resort. Like any insurance

1370
01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:33,679
Speaker 1: company in this particular case is not a private insurance

1371
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:36,480
Speaker 1: company which has got all kinds of rules and regulations

1372
01:17:36,479 --> 01:17:38,640
Speaker 1: about how many how much money they must keep in

1373
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 1: reserves to pay claims. And if the reserve money is

1374
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 1: going down and the claims experience is going up, you

1375
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 1: got to raise premiums to cover the payment of claims. Well,

1376
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:56,280
Speaker 1: is kind of turned on its head with Obamacare. So

1377
01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 1: you have the American taxpayer shouldering the burden on all this. Well,

1378
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 1: it seems to be under the health insurance companies get

1379
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 1: the premium dollars, they process and pay the claims. Bottom

1380
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:06,080
Speaker 1: line is, this is why the price is going up.

1381
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:09,160
Speaker 1: Everybody who's sick goes on Obamacare, and when you have

1382
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:12,840
Speaker 1: insurance payments covered by the American taxpayer, it hides it.

1383
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:16,479
Speaker 1: Remember the subsidies that drove us to shutting the government down, right,

1384
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:18,680
Speaker 1: those are subsidies that we're going to people making more

1385
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:21,640
Speaker 1: than sixty five hundred dollars a year. The people who

1386
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:23,960
Speaker 1: make less than that don't get any claim or don't

1387
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:26,680
Speaker 1: get any have to pay any premium. So one of

1388
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 1: the things that I like that I think is a

1389
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 1: good idea in this it would eliminate what they call

1390
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 1: zero premium subsidies. Well, if you aren't paying any premium whatsoever,

1391
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:43,200
Speaker 1: but are receiving the benefits of Obamacare, this invites fraud.

1392
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:46,400
Speaker 1: The fraud that I mentioned before. They call them ghost beneficiaries.

1393
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:55,640
Speaker 1: So if you require some at least small minimum payments,

1394
01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:58,280
Speaker 1: it acts as a way of verifying eligibility for those

1395
01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:01,799
Speaker 1: of receiving benefits. So a fake person or a computer

1396
01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:05,800
Speaker 1: generated AI type of individual who's claiming benefits, or maybe

1397
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 1: some illegal immigrant more likely they're at least going to

1398
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:10,320
Speaker 1: have to write a check to the government to make

1399
01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:12,559
Speaker 1: a premium payment, even if it's a small one, just

1400
01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:19,680
Speaker 1: one little extra check in there. Plan also contains what

1401
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 1: they're calling a deposit program. This one's a little puzzling

1402
01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:26,000
Speaker 1: to me. It would incentivize lower premium options on the

1403
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:30,200
Speaker 1: Obamacare exchange for individuals who downgrade coverage. The difference in

1404
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:34,839
Speaker 1: costs would be deposited into a health savings account funded

1405
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:39,640
Speaker 1: with taxpayer dollars. No, that's more government involvement. How do

1406
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:43,639
Speaker 1: we get here anyway? Government involvement. That's what the sixty

1407
01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:48,920
Speaker 1: two to five subsidy when it went away, you had

1408
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:51,240
Speaker 1: to look at the premium. You're actually exposed to the

1409
01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:56,160
Speaker 1: reality of what it costs to operate Obamacare. Those dollars

1410
01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:59,360
Speaker 1: were being fund being paid out. It isn't as if

1411
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:02,360
Speaker 1: there was no premium that Obamacare just suddenly became free. No,

1412
01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:04,479
Speaker 1: the money was continuing to dig us a hole in

1413
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:07,919
Speaker 1: terms of the federal government making the payments. The system

1414
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:11,280
Speaker 1: is broken. This is why the one thing that I

1415
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:16,040
Speaker 1: like that the Trump administration had thrown out at least casually.

1416
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:19,720
Speaker 1: If this money is in fact going to be coming

1417
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:23,880
Speaker 1: from the federal government, landing in the pocket of the

1418
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:27,559
Speaker 1: American taxpayer, with of course some obligation that that money

1419
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:30,920
Speaker 1: be used to buy health insurance or pay health claims.

1420
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:38,519
Speaker 1: That would force competition. If all the insurance companies that

1421
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:41,360
Speaker 1: provide medical insurance from the biggest two, you know, the smallest,

1422
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:45,120
Speaker 1: had to compete against each other and buy for those

1423
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:49,800
Speaker 1: dollars that are in the hands of the individual, you

1424
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:52,479
Speaker 1: can see a situation where capitalism works, the laws of

1425
01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:54,320
Speaker 1: supply and the man work, and of course there's going

1426
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:56,200
Speaker 1: to be a big supply of medical insurance companies out

1427
01:20:56,240 --> 01:20:58,680
Speaker 1: there looking to get your business versus someone else. You

1428
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 1: lower premiums to deal with that. At least that's the

1429
01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:07,120
Speaker 1: way it's supposed to work in a free market economy.

1430
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:15,000
Speaker 1: So if you've got a mechanism, if you have a

1431
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:21,080
Speaker 1: proposal to deal with the rapidly increasing cost of health

1432
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:23,240
Speaker 1: care in this country, what do you think it would be.

1433
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:33,719
Speaker 1: How can the federal government control the price of health care?

1434
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:37,360
Speaker 1: Or we're going to go full on Zorhan MUNDHAMI and

1435
01:21:37,439 --> 01:21:40,479
Speaker 1: just say it will be no more than this, We

1436
01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:43,639
Speaker 1: will not have a premium spike in excess of this.

1437
01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:47,559
Speaker 1: You can say it, but does it change the underlying

1438
01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:50,559
Speaker 1: dynamic that drove the price of medical insurance up. In

1439
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:54,519
Speaker 1: other words, the claims experience the increasing cost of medical

1440
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 1: care generally speaking, and how do we get to the

1441
01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 1: providers and lower the price of medical care. Say, in hospitals,

1442
01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:05,280
Speaker 1: they seem to have free reian to do whatever they want.

1443
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:07,839
Speaker 1: Market forces don't really seem to apply to a hospital.

1444
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:10,799
Speaker 1: And how they derive or come up with some price

1445
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 1: for anything you do? It commercials for affordable imaging services

1446
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:16,960
Speaker 1: there for a long time, and they only charge a

1447
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:19,400
Speaker 1: few hundred dollars for something that'll cost you thousands of

1448
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:22,839
Speaker 1: dollars in a hospital imaging department. Why are they charging

1449
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:29,920
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars in the imaging department medical insurance they

1450
01:22:29,960 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 1: negotiate the price. So it's a system colossally screwed up.

1451
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:38,320
Speaker 1: And I think the Trump administration as well as everybody

1452
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:40,600
Speaker 1: else could use some advice or guidance on how to

1453
01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:43,719
Speaker 1: best curb the costs because as of right now, I mean,

1454
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:46,240
Speaker 1: we're not going to get anto relief from this anytime soon.

1455
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:49,840
Speaker 1: I cannot imagine it. And going back to my problems

1456
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:52,080
Speaker 1: earlier this morning and dealing with this whole is it

1457
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:55,240
Speaker 1: lawful what's lawful, what's unlawful when it comes to striking

1458
01:22:56,640 --> 01:23:02,200
Speaker 1: the Venezuela or any other country with military hardware. At

1459
01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:04,599
Speaker 1: some point, you know Congress is going to have to act.

1460
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:10,599
Speaker 1: Does anybody think Congress is equipped? In this divided government?

1461
01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:13,559
Speaker 1: We have to fix or solve or otherwise offer rational

1462
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:16,760
Speaker 1: solutions to the healthcare situation. We have the problem we

1463
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 1: have with healthcare. Democrats are full on socializing medicine. That's

1464
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:26,000
Speaker 1: more government, more fraud waste than abuse, and not raining

1465
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:30,280
Speaker 1: in premiums. Somewhere the answer lies in the private sector.

1466
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 1: I'm convinced it's just how do we get back to

1467
01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:36,040
Speaker 1: private sector? I think anybody my age remembers when you

1468
01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:38,360
Speaker 1: know your pediatrician would show up at the house and

1469
01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:41,400
Speaker 1: give you your your injection in your living room, do

1470
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:43,639
Speaker 1: house calls, and it didn't cost your parents that much

1471
01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:45,800
Speaker 1: money at all. Could we ever go back to that?

1472
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:52,640
Speaker 1: Probably not. But somewhere we went off the rails, and

1473
01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:55,200
Speaker 1: we need to fix it. Seven sixteen fifty five Krocite

Speaker 2: Once a week I can share with you and the

1488
01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:38,080
Speaker 2: rest of the world what's happening.

1489
01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:39,400
Speaker 1: I call it therapy for me.

1490
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:44,160
Speaker 2: And I don't have to burden you know, my dear

1491
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:47,200
Speaker 2: friends around me. I can just give it, give it

1492
01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:48,840
Speaker 2: to you and the rest of the world. Brother. So

1493
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 2: you just sit back on the couch and look at me.

1494
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:53,200
Speaker 1: Put my feet up, and let you go, hey real

1495
01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:55,639
Speaker 1: quick here for you dive in. What's what's what's burning

1496
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:58,400
Speaker 1: on your head, and what's causing your spleen to be invented?

1497
01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:00,519
Speaker 1: You have some good plans for things giving. I mean,

1498
01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:02,719
Speaker 1: you have such a big family, and I can envision

1499
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:05,160
Speaker 1: the Smitham and family gather around and enjoying each other's

1500
01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:08,120
Speaker 1: fellowship and some great times on Thanksgiving. You have something

1501
01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:08,519
Speaker 1: good plan.

1502
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:12,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty years, thirty five years or so, we've been

1503
01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:15,080
Speaker 2: doing the same things brother in thirty five years, and

1504
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 2: we get together with my oldest brother. So our whole

1505
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:20,880
Speaker 2: family does not get together for Thanksgiving. People are in

1506
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:24,719
Speaker 2: different places, and so I won't have all my kids.

1507
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:28,200
Speaker 2: They have their significant others or other things that they're doing.

1508
01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 2: But I have some of them. And that's all cool, man,

1509
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:33,479
Speaker 2: you know, It's just a part of life and rotating.

1510
01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:36,680
Speaker 2: But I've always been at these thirty five years, I've

1511
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:39,600
Speaker 2: been with my oldest brother, and so that's what we'll do.

1512
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:41,759
Speaker 2: We'll sit down and have some turkey.

1513
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:42,360
Speaker 1: That's great.

1514
01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:47,320
Speaker 2: I want to share. I want to share with you brother,

1515
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:50,600
Speaker 2: as I wish happy Thanksgiving to you and everybody. What

1516
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:54,639
Speaker 2: happened in Chicago when they were putting up a Christmas tree.

1517
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:58,320
Speaker 2: And I'm going to tie it to Cincinnati. Okay, we

1518
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:02,720
Speaker 2: as a city in Cincinnati are moving towards Chicago if

1519
01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:06,479
Speaker 2: we're not already there per capita, per population, as far

1520
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:09,519
Speaker 2: as violence is concerned. But they are just too many

1521
01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:12,560
Speaker 2: things that are paralleling here that I just want to

1522
01:26:12,680 --> 01:26:16,679
Speaker 2: raise some attention. You can't even go into the heart

1523
01:26:16,760 --> 01:26:22,400
Speaker 2: of Chicago with the raising of their Christmas tree and

1524
01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:26,240
Speaker 2: not deal with a mass shooting. That's when you know

1525
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:30,880
Speaker 2: your city is completely off the rails. You have a

1526
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:34,760
Speaker 2: democratic mayor, you have a democratic council, you have a

1527
01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:39,640
Speaker 2: democratic school board, right, and you have criminals in Chicago

1528
01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:45,040
Speaker 2: that are being cradled by the electeds, and they are

1529
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:50,880
Speaker 2: neutering and have been neutering their police department with the reimagination,

1530
01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:56,000
Speaker 2: with the defund the cops, and what you have is

1531
01:26:56,040 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 2: a city that is completely out of control. And the

1532
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaker 2: saddest thing is that those who are experiencing the violence

1533
01:27:03,439 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 2: are African Americans. African Americans are being murdered or shot

1534
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:13,080
Speaker 2: or made We don't hear about those people who are paralyzed, right.

1535
01:27:13,160 --> 01:27:15,080
Speaker 2: We don't hear about the person who was shot and

1536
01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:18,719
Speaker 2: had to be put back together like the bonic man.

1537
01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:21,120
Speaker 2: I used to watch that as a kid. We don't

1538
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:24,120
Speaker 2: hear about those people. We just hear about those who

1539
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:28,760
Speaker 2: are dead. But we don't understand the horrific life that

1540
01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:32,400
Speaker 2: people are living in these urban cores. And it is

1541
01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 2: coming and has arrived at the doorsteps of Cincinnati. I

1542
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:41,160
Speaker 2: continue to wake up and hear in our OTR, in

1543
01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:45,720
Speaker 2: the core of our city shootings, a mass shooting by

1544
01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:49,799
Speaker 2: the FBI four or more. We had three shot in OTR.

1545
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:53,559
Speaker 2: We were one short from the definition of a mass

1546
01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:57,800
Speaker 2: shooting in our downtown right by the same bar that

1547
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:01,320
Speaker 2: we all know is a problem that city council and

1548
01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:05,640
Speaker 2: this mayor and this manager refuse to deal with. And

1549
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:09,640
Speaker 2: the people that are dying around us are African American

1550
01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:14,240
Speaker 2: males who are being murdered every single or every other

1551
01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:18,040
Speaker 2: day or every weekend in our core, in Cincinnati and

1552
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:21,240
Speaker 2: places like Chicago. I would guess that six hundred people

1553
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:24,840
Speaker 2: have been shot in Chicago or in this year as

1554
01:28:24,880 --> 01:28:28,040
Speaker 2: we close out the year. Imagine that. Think about your

1555
01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:32,439
Speaker 2: high school graduating class and think about six hundred people

1556
01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:36,439
Speaker 2: being shot in one year. These are extraordinary blood baths

1557
01:28:36,479 --> 01:28:39,400
Speaker 2: that are happening in our core. And to have this mayor,

1558
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:43,040
Speaker 2: who happens to be African American to stand up, look

1559
01:28:43,080 --> 01:28:46,120
Speaker 2: people on the eye in Chicago and say everything is cool,

1560
01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:49,000
Speaker 2: everything is all right. I got it under control. He

1561
01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:52,639
Speaker 2: has nothing under control. He does not care about African

1562
01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:56,839
Speaker 2: American life. I am concerned about this mayor and this council.

1563
01:28:57,160 --> 01:29:00,000
Speaker 2: My voice will continue the weigh in that they don't

1564
01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:03,280
Speaker 2: don't care about the violence, because if they cared about it,

1565
01:29:03,360 --> 01:29:06,200
Speaker 2: they'd be doing something different. They wouldn't be holding and

1566
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:09,200
Speaker 2: coddling our cops. They let them do their jobs, They

1567
01:29:09,320 --> 01:29:12,559
Speaker 2: let them do proactive policing. They wouldn't be talking about, oh,

1568
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:17,040
Speaker 2: we cannot do community based policing and proactive policing at

1569
01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:19,559
Speaker 2: the same time, when every time I turn on my

1570
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:23,840
Speaker 2: dog on a TV, I'm looking at almost a mass

1571
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:28,080
Speaker 2: shooting every single weekend in our downtown. Here's the closure

1572
01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:33,040
Speaker 2: closing on this one. Guess what that area not. Everybody

1573
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:37,960
Speaker 2: overwhelmingly voted for this council and this mayor in OTR.

1574
01:29:38,439 --> 01:29:43,840
Speaker 2: So guess what. Elections have consequences. And this is what

1575
01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:47,080
Speaker 2: you get where you continue to vote for these kind

1576
01:29:47,120 --> 01:29:50,679
Speaker 2: of mayors, these kind of councils, these kind of school boards.

1577
01:29:50,880 --> 01:29:54,200
Speaker 2: You have failing schools. You have a city that is

1578
01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:58,639
Speaker 2: violently being coddled by the criminals. The criminals are running.

1579
01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:01,640
Speaker 2: They're more worried about the criminals then they are the

1580
01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:05,320
Speaker 2: law abiding citizens, whether you're black or white. Wake up

1581
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:08,720
Speaker 2: Cincinnati and wake up Chicago. But if you continue to

1582
01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:11,840
Speaker 2: vote the same way you continue to vote. Guess what

1583
01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:15,040
Speaker 2: look in the mirror, Take your turkey out, eat your

1584
01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:18,800
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving and don't complain. This is what you'll wanted.

Speaker 1: is what we call the segment every Monday, beginning at

1638
01:33:00,160 --> 01:33:03,719
Speaker 1: seven to twenty. Game for a few and Christopher, whatever

1639
01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:05,000
Speaker 1: else is on your mind. I got a couple of

1640
01:33:05,040 --> 01:33:08,840
Speaker 1: questions this this three shot outside the over the Rhine

1641
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:10,360
Speaker 1: bar of the weekend, and of course this has been

1642
01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:12,680
Speaker 1: a real problem. The name of the establishment Privy on

1643
01:33:12,720 --> 01:33:15,400
Speaker 1: Elm Street. It's been identified as having noise complaints and

1644
01:33:15,800 --> 01:33:18,599
Speaker 1: prior shootings outside the establishment. I guess I have to ask,

1645
01:33:19,640 --> 01:33:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a little reluctant personally to blame the

1646
01:33:23,560 --> 01:33:28,479
Speaker 1: establishment because you know, I'm guessing it's operating during lawful

1647
01:33:28,560 --> 01:33:31,680
Speaker 1: business hours. It is not doing something illegal by way

1648
01:33:31,720 --> 01:33:35,280
Speaker 1: of providing you know, unlawful substances or you know, a criminal.

1649
01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:37,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on in there, but is

1650
01:33:37,160 --> 01:33:39,160
Speaker 1: it the bar that's the problem. Seems to me it's

1651
01:33:39,200 --> 01:33:41,200
Speaker 1: the people that either hang out in the bar and

1652
01:33:41,240 --> 01:33:43,160
Speaker 1: then go out and commit crimes after they leave it,

1653
01:33:43,280 --> 01:33:45,920
Speaker 1: or the people hanging outside the bar and maybe not

1654
01:33:45,960 --> 01:33:48,679
Speaker 1: even going in that are causing the problems. But I mean,

1655
01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:51,160
Speaker 1: are we right in looking at the bar as the

1656
01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:53,559
Speaker 1: source of the problem or is it really And I

1657
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:56,120
Speaker 1: think it more fundamentally boils down to it's people that

1658
01:33:56,200 --> 01:33:57,639
Speaker 1: are the problem.

1659
01:33:58,320 --> 01:34:01,479
Speaker 2: We are right to look at the bar problem. They

1660
01:34:01,520 --> 01:34:05,920
Speaker 2: have a responsibility to hire off duty details outside of

1661
01:34:05,920 --> 01:34:08,559
Speaker 2: that bar at eighty five or one hundred dollars an hour,

1662
01:34:08,720 --> 01:34:11,840
Speaker 2: whatever they need to do to make sure if they

1663
01:34:11,880 --> 01:34:16,080
Speaker 2: are attracting that population with whatever they're doing, they have

1664
01:34:16,120 --> 01:34:19,000
Speaker 2: a responsibility to make sure everybody around there is safe.

1665
01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:22,200
Speaker 2: So whatever you're doing, right, the problem is if you've

1666
01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:24,360
Speaker 2: got to hire three or four officers out there, but no,

1667
01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:25,760
Speaker 2: they're not going to do that because they don't want

1668
01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:27,320
Speaker 2: their margins. They don't want to pay two or three

1669
01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:29,880
Speaker 2: thousand dollars whatever it takes in order to make sure

1670
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:32,719
Speaker 2: that people are saying so, yes, I think they are respired.

1671
01:34:32,760 --> 01:34:34,320
Speaker 2: I don't think they say, well, they left my bar,

1672
01:34:34,439 --> 01:34:36,320
Speaker 2: and whatever they were doing in the bar they go

1673
01:34:36,360 --> 01:34:38,920
Speaker 2: out of the bar is no longer my responsibility. I

1674
01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:41,760
Speaker 2: want to see heavy off duty details. I would have

1675
01:34:41,880 --> 01:34:46,720
Speaker 2: already had a plan in place with the establishment. I

1676
01:34:46,720 --> 01:34:49,360
Speaker 2: would have voted for it on the floor of council.

1677
01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:52,480
Speaker 2: So we sat, we met, We put together a community

1678
01:34:52,520 --> 01:34:55,000
Speaker 2: plan and action plan, which at the top of it

1679
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:58,720
Speaker 2: would be hiring off duty details. Wouldn't matter to me

1680
01:34:58,760 --> 01:35:01,559
Speaker 2: whether they were Cincinnati pl police or sheriffs to make

1681
01:35:01,600 --> 01:35:05,160
Speaker 2: sure that as their bar let out, I was safe.

1682
01:35:05,320 --> 01:35:07,840
Speaker 2: There's so many people that have invested so much money

1683
01:35:07,920 --> 01:35:10,600
Speaker 2: around there, they're living there, those are their homes. That

1684
01:35:10,760 --> 01:35:14,280
Speaker 2: is what the city council wanted, so the people are

1685
01:35:14,280 --> 01:35:16,959
Speaker 2: pouring out and then shots are fired. You're in your bedroom,

1686
01:35:17,040 --> 01:35:19,639
Speaker 2: or you're hosting somebody in your living room, you're watching

1687
01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:22,800
Speaker 2: and bullets are flying through your dog on window. So yes,

1688
01:35:22,960 --> 01:35:24,960
Speaker 2: I think that that owner, whoever it is, I don't

1689
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:27,360
Speaker 2: know who it is. I'm not connected. I'm not even

1690
01:35:27,400 --> 01:35:29,639
Speaker 2: trying to find out at this point. I'm just sharing

1691
01:35:29,680 --> 01:35:33,599
Speaker 2: with you. City council and this mayor continue to have

1692
01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:37,320
Speaker 2: the same problem over and over again. And I bet you,

1693
01:35:37,360 --> 01:35:40,680
Speaker 2: if you and I look into this establishment, in some

1694
01:35:40,880 --> 01:35:43,160
Speaker 2: way they're connected to this council.

1695
01:35:44,200 --> 01:35:45,800
Speaker 1: Oh really, I don't know that.

1696
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:51,439
Speaker 2: I bet you in some way they are connected through

1697
01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:55,759
Speaker 2: some type of relationship financially making contributions to the campaign.

1698
01:35:55,880 --> 01:35:58,439
Speaker 2: I don't know this for sure. I'm just saying I've

1699
01:35:58,439 --> 01:36:00,960
Speaker 2: been around a long time. Guy. You don't have an

1700
01:36:01,080 --> 01:36:04,360
Speaker 2: establishment like this where you constantly have the same problem

1701
01:36:04,439 --> 01:36:07,920
Speaker 2: every single weekend and then all of a sudden, city

1702
01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:10,840
Speaker 2: council and the mayor are saying nothing about it. There's

1703
01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:14,840
Speaker 2: something going on politically between these Democrats and whoever owns

1704
01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:19,000
Speaker 2: this establishment. They're all connected. It's one big happy family,

1705
01:36:19,160 --> 01:36:23,080
Speaker 2: is my speculation. And they care more about the criminals.

1706
01:36:23,120 --> 01:36:25,720
Speaker 2: The owner and not the people that are living down there.

1707
01:36:25,720 --> 01:36:27,559
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas, that's the ugly truth.

1708
01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:30,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just seems strange that, you know, how is

1709
01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:32,960
Speaker 1: it that this particular establishment is the one that draws

1710
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:34,080
Speaker 1: the criminal element?

1711
01:36:34,640 --> 01:36:38,320
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know, brother, It's not my bars,

1712
01:36:38,400 --> 01:36:42,160
Speaker 2: not my establishment. But guess what. All the people in OTR,

1713
01:36:42,360 --> 01:36:45,040
Speaker 2: not all of them, voted for this council. But it's

1714
01:36:45,200 --> 01:36:50,240
Speaker 2: very blue. And we go back and say elections have consequences.

1715
01:36:50,280 --> 01:36:53,080
Speaker 2: They were complaining about this before the election. They went

1716
01:36:53,120 --> 01:36:57,160
Speaker 2: in overwhelmingly as a community and voted for this mayor,

1717
01:36:57,200 --> 01:37:01,479
Speaker 2: this council and this manager anddministration. And you get what

1718
01:37:01,520 --> 01:37:05,080
Speaker 2: you vote for. It's not that I'm upset or frustrated

1719
01:37:05,080 --> 01:37:07,559
Speaker 2: by it. It's your life. Yeah. And so if you

1720
01:37:07,640 --> 01:37:09,200
Speaker 2: want to go down and continue to vote for the

1721
01:37:09,240 --> 01:37:11,679
Speaker 2: same people, guess what, you're going to get the same result.

1722
01:37:11,720 --> 01:37:13,400
Speaker 2: All right, But since wee man, here's what I want

1723
01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:14,679
Speaker 2: to talk about. Go ahead, go ahead.

1724
01:37:14,720 --> 01:37:16,120
Speaker 1: Now, I'm just going to say, since we don't have

1725
01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:17,800
Speaker 1: an upcoming election, we got to wait a little bit

1726
01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:19,439
Speaker 1: for that next one to show up and give people

1727
01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:21,639
Speaker 1: an alternative. Whether or not they choose a different path

1728
01:37:21,680 --> 01:37:23,920
Speaker 1: remains to be seen because we've been down this road before.

1729
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:28,040
Speaker 1: But there is something that these citizenry can do in

1730
01:37:28,040 --> 01:37:32,600
Speaker 1: spite of who they voted for, is organize and do

1731
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:35,720
Speaker 1: like a Hyde Park Uprising City Council does one thing.

1732
01:37:35,760 --> 01:37:37,760
Speaker 1: The residents of Hyde Park say, damn it, there is

1733
01:37:37,840 --> 01:37:39,880
Speaker 1: no way we're going to abide by this zoning thing.

1734
01:37:39,880 --> 01:37:41,519
Speaker 1: We're going to get a petition on the ballot. We're

1735
01:37:41,520 --> 01:37:43,799
Speaker 1: going to go after them. That seemed to have worked.

1736
01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:47,320
Speaker 1: So you know, if you're really worried and angry about crime,

1737
01:37:47,439 --> 01:37:50,040
Speaker 1: elevating that to that kind of level, maybe the way

1738
01:37:50,080 --> 01:37:52,280
Speaker 1: to go and force the administration to do something the

1739
01:37:52,360 --> 01:37:54,360
Speaker 1: otherwise might not do. That seems to be the only

1740
01:37:54,400 --> 01:37:55,200
Speaker 1: recourse right now.

1741
01:37:55,240 --> 01:37:59,320
Speaker 2: Christopher Well, I would say that after the election, that's

1742
01:37:59,360 --> 01:38:02,680
Speaker 2: all they have. They had an election, right yeah, and

1743
01:38:02,720 --> 01:38:05,559
Speaker 2: that is where the that's where you actually do that work.

1744
01:38:05,880 --> 01:38:09,519
Speaker 2: What they did was they affirmed the direction of the

1745
01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:12,519
Speaker 2: mayor and the council and said we like the direction.

1746
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:15,360
Speaker 2: You don't get eighty five ninety percent of the vote

1747
01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:18,200
Speaker 2: in an area and walk away going I'm doing a

1748
01:38:18,200 --> 01:38:23,360
Speaker 2: bad job. The mayor like raising your children. If you continue,

1749
01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:25,519
Speaker 2: you say, hey man, I'm going to reward the bad behavior,

1750
01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:27,920
Speaker 2: which is what they did. The child continues to do

1751
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:31,280
Speaker 2: exactly what they were doing, and so there's no motivation.

1752
01:38:31,439 --> 01:38:35,360
Speaker 2: This mayor is is what we call in the college world,

1753
01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:39,560
Speaker 2: a tenured member of the institution. He's never going to

1754
01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:42,640
Speaker 2: run for mayor again. He got four years. He is

1755
01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:45,559
Speaker 2: termed out. He can do whatever the heck he wants.

1756
01:38:45,760 --> 01:38:49,120
Speaker 2: It makes him even more dangerous because he's not even

1757
01:38:49,120 --> 01:38:51,120
Speaker 2: thinking about the city. He wasn't thinking about it four

1758
01:38:51,200 --> 01:38:53,840
Speaker 2: years ago and he's not really not thinking about it now.

1759
01:38:54,240 --> 01:38:56,839
Speaker 2: Let me say this to you, brother, these Epstein files

1760
01:38:56,920 --> 01:39:00,719
Speaker 2: nationally that are coming out. I'm a person as an independent.

1761
01:39:02,600 --> 01:39:05,400
Speaker 1: You're changing topic. So let's just pause because we're out

1762
01:39:05,400 --> 01:39:07,320
Speaker 1: of a past the break. We'll let you start on

1763
01:39:07,360 --> 01:39:10,840
Speaker 1: that when we come back. More with Christopher Smithman on Fire.

1764
01:39:10,880 --> 01:39:12,360
Speaker 1: He is at seven thirty six right now. If you

1765
01:39:12,439 --> 01:39:15,160
Speaker 1: have KERCD talk station, this is.

1766
01:39:15,080 --> 01:39:19,719
Speaker 6: Fifty five karc an iHeartRadio station LBL long.

1767
01:39:23,240 --> 01:39:25,960
Speaker 1: Seven thirty nine. Here about kerr CD talk station. Brian

1768
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:29,599
Speaker 1: Thomas with Christopher Smithman. I mean erupt you as you're

1769
01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:31,000
Speaker 1: getting ready to go on another train of thought. But

1770
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:32,720
Speaker 1: I thought since the subject was moving over to the

1771
01:39:32,720 --> 01:39:34,760
Speaker 1: Epstein file. So I did just go ahead and take

1772
01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:37,200
Speaker 1: that much need to break, Christopher, so you have the

1773
01:39:37,280 --> 01:39:39,240
Speaker 1: floor back, have at it, my friend.

1774
01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:45,280
Speaker 2: Look, man, anybody who's out having sex with minor children,

1775
01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:48,760
Speaker 2: you're a pedophile, yep. And I want to know who

1776
01:39:48,800 --> 01:39:52,000
Speaker 2: you are. I don't care what your political affiliation is.

1777
01:39:52,640 --> 01:39:54,920
Speaker 2: I don't care how old you were when you did it.

1778
01:39:55,360 --> 01:39:58,200
Speaker 2: When you're having sex with twelve and thirteen and fourteen

1779
01:39:58,240 --> 01:40:03,880
Speaker 2: year old girls and boys on an island, you're sick, right,

1780
01:40:03,960 --> 01:40:07,040
Speaker 2: And we've got to own this as a community, and

1781
01:40:07,080 --> 01:40:10,360
Speaker 2: we want to out anybody and everybody. It doesn't matter

1782
01:40:10,360 --> 01:40:12,640
Speaker 2: how much money they have, or what their power is

1783
01:40:12,760 --> 01:40:14,960
Speaker 2: or what they're doing. And so what you see on

1784
01:40:15,160 --> 01:40:21,679
Speaker 2: both sides of the aisle, Republicans and Democrats are out

1785
01:40:21,720 --> 01:40:25,559
Speaker 2: there trying to protect the elites. That is what I

1786
01:40:25,680 --> 01:40:29,200
Speaker 2: believe is happening. And so I'm not speculating who's on

1787
01:40:29,240 --> 01:40:31,800
Speaker 2: the list, but I can tell you, as the Democrats

1788
01:40:31,840 --> 01:40:35,960
Speaker 2: were saying, all we've got to have this released, I

1789
01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:37,720
Speaker 2: want to say a couple of things about it. So

1790
01:40:37,720 --> 01:40:42,880
Speaker 2: we're real clear. President Biden and his administration could have

1791
01:40:43,040 --> 01:40:48,799
Speaker 2: released this information during his term YEP. Period and he didn't.

1792
01:40:49,439 --> 01:40:52,680
Speaker 2: He didn't do it for a reason. So this outcry

1793
01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:58,160
Speaker 2: by the Democrats is all fake. Right, But guess what

1794
01:40:58,800 --> 01:41:02,719
Speaker 2: I think the the Trump administration did the rope dope

1795
01:41:02,760 --> 01:41:06,160
Speaker 2: on on the on the Democrats saying, okay, you guys,

1796
01:41:06,320 --> 01:41:07,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to, I don't know

1797
01:41:07,720 --> 01:41:12,000
Speaker 2: this for sure. But Epstein was a Democrat. Epstein was

1798
01:41:12,040 --> 01:41:17,120
Speaker 2: a financer of the Democratic machine. That's where he spent

1799
01:41:17,200 --> 01:41:21,719
Speaker 2: his money public right, So you're gonna find disproportionately most

1800
01:41:21,760 --> 01:41:26,559
Speaker 2: likely his friends are what democrats. The first person when

1801
01:41:26,600 --> 01:41:30,920
Speaker 2: the Epstein vote happened in Congress was Larry Summers. Who

1802
01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:34,880
Speaker 2: is Larry Summers. Larry Summers is the former treasurer under

1803
01:41:34,920 --> 01:41:40,040
Speaker 2: Clinton and Obama, very powerful person, former president of Harvard

1804
01:41:40,160 --> 01:41:45,160
Speaker 2: University and current faculty member at Harvard University. And he

1805
01:41:45,280 --> 01:41:48,919
Speaker 2: sat on some AI board, on the on some publicly

1806
01:41:48,920 --> 01:41:52,400
Speaker 2: traded company. As soon as that vote happened, Larry Summers

1807
01:41:52,439 --> 01:41:57,040
Speaker 2: resigned a Democrat. Notice how the major news outlets, whether

1808
01:41:57,080 --> 01:42:02,360
Speaker 2: it's CNN or MSNBC, really didn't deal with it. Right,

1809
01:42:02,439 --> 01:42:06,439
Speaker 2: We're no different than Russia. Our media isn't telling this truth.

1810
01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:11,000
Speaker 2: They hide information in politics is not just what you say,

1811
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:13,000
Speaker 2: it's what you don't say. So there are a lot

1812
01:42:13,040 --> 01:42:14,760
Speaker 2: of people right now who are listening to you and

1813
01:42:14,840 --> 01:42:18,080
Speaker 2: I talk or who is Larry Summers. Larry Summers resigned

1814
01:42:18,120 --> 01:42:21,200
Speaker 2: related to the Epstein files. Yes he did. Harvard has

1815
01:42:21,280 --> 01:42:24,160
Speaker 2: launched an investigation to try to figure out what his

1816
01:42:24,320 --> 01:42:28,599
Speaker 2: involvement was with Epstein and why he said I'm gonna sell.

1817
01:42:29,040 --> 01:42:31,920
Speaker 2: Didn't It wasn't like his information came out as soon

1818
01:42:31,960 --> 01:42:34,040
Speaker 2: as the vote happened that I'm out. Now. This is

1819
01:42:34,040 --> 01:42:37,240
Speaker 2: a guy who's been very vocal on CNN, on MSNBC.

1820
01:42:37,600 --> 01:42:40,479
Speaker 2: He's been going after the Trump administration for a year,

1821
01:42:40,600 --> 01:42:44,200
Speaker 2: for the last ten years, he's the first person to resign.

1822
01:42:44,680 --> 01:42:48,760
Speaker 2: I'm sharing with everybody, hold your power. Let's wait and

1823
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:52,240
Speaker 2: see as a public no matter whether you're a Democrat

1824
01:42:52,360 --> 01:42:56,080
Speaker 2: or Republican, please don't make this partisan. We have got

1825
01:42:56,120 --> 01:42:59,639
Speaker 2: to know what happened with these pedophiles who are out

1826
01:42:59,680 --> 01:43:03,840
Speaker 2: having sex with twelve and thirteen and fourteen year old girls.

1827
01:43:04,040 --> 01:43:07,120
Speaker 2: This is something that we deserve to know. I want

1828
01:43:07,120 --> 01:43:07,320
Speaker 2: to know.

1829
01:43:07,479 --> 01:43:10,880
Speaker 1: I agree completely, and look what the discharge petition is.

1830
01:43:10,920 --> 01:43:14,120
Speaker 1: It almost was completely unanimous across both the House and

1831
01:43:14,160 --> 01:43:16,679
Speaker 1: the Senate. When it finally pushed came to shove. Everybody,

1832
01:43:16,720 --> 01:43:19,200
Speaker 1: with the exception of one representative, voted to release the

1833
01:43:19,280 --> 01:43:23,640
Speaker 1: damned documents. Interesting question for you, Christopher Smithman, what the

1834
01:43:23,680 --> 01:43:27,200
Speaker 1: hell's with Trump changing his mind? You're right, Democrats had

1835
01:43:27,200 --> 01:43:30,479
Speaker 1: four years to release these documents. They obviously didn't want

1836
01:43:30,520 --> 01:43:32,920
Speaker 1: to do it. We all kind of wondered, I wonder

1837
01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:35,479
Speaker 1: what's in them that the Democrats are afraid to release them?

1838
01:43:35,520 --> 01:43:39,280
Speaker 1: Pivot over to Trump campaigning on releasing them, only to say, nah,

1839
01:43:39,360 --> 01:43:42,040
Speaker 1: there's nothing there. DJ looked at it. There's nothing there,

1840
01:43:42,040 --> 01:43:44,320
Speaker 1: there's no list, there's nothing to see, there's nothing to release.

1841
01:43:44,320 --> 01:43:45,559
Speaker 1: Where did that come from?

1842
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,240
Speaker 2: And of course I think that he I think he

1843
01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:52,519
Speaker 2: has friends that are on that on that list. He's

1844
01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:55,240
Speaker 2: a New Yorker, he's a New Yorker. Wouldn't he have

1845
01:43:55,320 --> 01:43:56,880
Speaker 2: known probably some of those people.

1846
01:43:57,439 --> 01:43:58,800
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you have known that when he was saying he

1847
01:43:58,800 --> 01:44:00,720
Speaker 1: wanted to release him I mean, his buddies calling her.

1848
01:44:00,760 --> 01:44:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying quick campaigning on releasing these documents, you know,

1849
01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:04,920
Speaker 1: damn well, my name's in there. You're gonna get me

1850
01:44:04,960 --> 01:44:07,000
Speaker 1: and brought in a controversy. And I never touched the

1851
01:44:07,040 --> 01:44:08,559
Speaker 1: fourteen year old or whatever.

1852
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:12,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, the reality of it is they didn't know whether

1853
01:44:12,160 --> 01:44:13,920
Speaker 2: he was going to be elected, and so many people

1854
01:44:13,960 --> 01:44:15,840
Speaker 2: didn't even see the landslide that was coming in the

1855
01:44:15,920 --> 01:44:18,320
Speaker 2: last election. So he's out there saying I'm gonna do this,

1856
01:44:18,360 --> 01:44:19,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do this, and then

1857
01:44:19,920 --> 01:44:22,479
Speaker 2: he got elected. And so I don't know all of

1858
01:44:22,479 --> 01:44:26,120
Speaker 2: the details around it, but my speculation is that some

1859
01:44:26,280 --> 01:44:29,920
Speaker 2: of his allies are on this list, and they're Democrats,

1860
01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:34,400
Speaker 2: are Republicans, and both Biden and Trump were trying to

1861
01:44:34,479 --> 01:44:37,360
Speaker 2: protect the list. What I want to also say, and

1862
01:44:37,360 --> 01:44:39,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go into this with Trump and just say,

1863
01:44:39,760 --> 01:44:43,360
Speaker 2: I don't know who this representative Marjorie Taylor Green is,

1864
01:44:43,640 --> 01:44:46,360
Speaker 2: and the woman who was saying, hey, I want these

1865
01:44:46,400 --> 01:44:49,240
Speaker 2: Epstein files to come out, I just know that she

1866
01:44:49,360 --> 01:44:52,400
Speaker 2: was an ally of his. It was something she was saying.

1867
01:44:52,680 --> 01:44:57,360
Speaker 2: And I don't understand why President Trump then turns and

1868
01:44:57,439 --> 01:45:00,479
Speaker 2: starts attacking her. I think that's where you're getting. That

1869
01:45:00,640 --> 01:45:03,160
Speaker 2: was a part of the narrative, right, and so you

1870
01:45:03,280 --> 01:45:06,200
Speaker 2: try to destroy her, you say all these horrible things

1871
01:45:06,240 --> 01:45:09,799
Speaker 2: about her. She's been loyal to you. So if somebody

1872
01:45:09,800 --> 01:45:12,439
Speaker 2: stands up and they're loyal to Trump, and Trump can

1873
01:45:12,479 --> 01:45:14,240
Speaker 2: just turn on a dime and just say, no, you've

1874
01:45:14,280 --> 01:45:16,280
Speaker 2: lost your way. I'm going to try to destroy you.

1875
01:45:16,520 --> 01:45:19,360
Speaker 2: I don't know what that is about his emotional intelligence,

1876
01:45:19,439 --> 01:45:22,040
Speaker 2: but I can tell you it is incredibly frustrating for

1877
01:45:22,160 --> 01:45:25,679
Speaker 2: me for any president. Look, whoever gets elected, whether it's Obama,

1878
01:45:26,160 --> 01:45:29,280
Speaker 2: whether it's Clinton, you know, whether it is a Trump,

1879
01:45:29,960 --> 01:45:33,680
Speaker 2: whether it's Bush, I'm voting for America. I'm voting for

1880
01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:38,320
Speaker 2: our executive to be successful in this world. Right. This

1881
01:45:38,360 --> 01:45:41,719
Speaker 2: world is very ugly. We've got some bad characters out here,

1882
01:45:41,880 --> 01:45:44,560
Speaker 2: and I'm rooting for America, whether it's a Democrat or

1883
01:45:44,640 --> 01:45:48,920
Speaker 2: Republican in that office. I don't understand this president at times,

1884
01:45:48,920 --> 01:45:52,720
Speaker 2: with his emotional intelligence so low, that he's so emotionally

1885
01:45:52,840 --> 01:45:55,559
Speaker 2: charged that whatever comes to that brain of his, he

1886
01:45:55,720 --> 01:45:57,840
Speaker 2: just starts opening up his mouth. And whether you're a

1887
01:45:57,880 --> 01:46:01,800
Speaker 2: supporter of Trump or not, be call this president out.

1888
01:46:02,120 --> 01:46:04,320
Speaker 2: Would he lacked discipline with that mount?

1889
01:46:04,479 --> 01:46:06,680
Speaker 1: I agree. He went after Congress and Massey again too,

1890
01:46:06,720 --> 01:46:10,280
Speaker 1: the same thing, beloved Congress from Massey folks in northern Kentucky.

1891
01:46:10,320 --> 01:46:12,439
Speaker 1: I mean, they keep voting him in regardless of what

1892
01:46:12,439 --> 01:46:16,280
Speaker 1: Trump says, I mean Donald Trump spends and these other millionaires,

1893
01:46:16,280 --> 01:46:19,080
Speaker 1: billionaires spending all kinds of money trying to primary Thomas Massey.

1894
01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:22,639
Speaker 1: Why because Thomas Massey was behind the discharge petition, among others.

1895
01:46:23,080 --> 01:46:26,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he's at least on solid constitutional ground with

1896
01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:29,920
Speaker 1: what he says. Is there uniformity in the Republican Party,

1897
01:46:29,960 --> 01:46:32,439
Speaker 1: of course not. Is there uniformity in the Democrat Party

1898
01:46:32,479 --> 01:46:34,120
Speaker 1: of course not. They don't even know which direction they

1899
01:46:34,160 --> 01:46:36,800
Speaker 1: want to go. There's a lot of different stripes within

1900
01:46:36,880 --> 01:46:40,280
Speaker 1: each party. And you know, I would argue that Marjorie

1901
01:46:40,280 --> 01:46:43,519
Speaker 1: Taylor Green I think had some sound points she was making.

1902
01:46:43,560 --> 01:46:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm a little upset about him focusing on foreign policy.

1903
01:46:46,280 --> 01:46:48,120
Speaker 1: I'd like for him to be here and focus on

1904
01:46:48,200 --> 01:46:51,640
Speaker 1: domestic issues. I was behind releasing the Epstein files, and

1905
01:46:51,640 --> 01:46:53,720
Speaker 1: that apparently is what set Trump off, and he had

1906
01:46:53,720 --> 01:46:57,479
Speaker 1: some outrages and outlandish statements about her. And I agree

1907
01:46:57,520 --> 01:47:00,280
Speaker 1: with the points you're making on that. But does he

1908
01:47:00,360 --> 01:47:04,360
Speaker 1: expect one hundred percent fidelity among the Republicans for the

1909
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:08,800
Speaker 1: Strump specific agenda? And I think that's what he is

1910
01:47:08,840 --> 01:47:11,679
Speaker 1: demonstrating by going after til Marjorie Taylor Green, going after

1911
01:47:11,680 --> 01:47:14,360
Speaker 1: Congress from asking others promising the primary them if they

1912
01:47:14,400 --> 01:47:15,560
Speaker 1: get out of line.

1913
01:47:16,040 --> 01:47:16,200
Speaker 2: Yo.

1914
01:47:16,520 --> 01:47:20,200
Speaker 1: This feeds into that whole dictatorial narrative the Democrats are peddling.

1915
01:47:20,200 --> 01:47:23,679
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a good look. Honestly, I don't.

1916
01:47:23,720 --> 01:47:27,120
Speaker 2: And I'm a girl dad. You know, four boys, rub girl?

1917
01:47:27,520 --> 01:47:30,400
Speaker 2: If this was one of my babies, right, I want

1918
01:47:30,439 --> 01:47:31,920
Speaker 2: to get to the bottom of it. I want people

1919
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:35,400
Speaker 2: to go to jail. And I think sometimes as men, right,

1920
01:47:35,800 --> 01:47:39,479
Speaker 2: we missed the point of Marjorie Taylor Green is a woman.

1921
01:47:40,120 --> 01:47:42,000
Speaker 2: She's saying, I want to get to the bottom of it.

1922
01:47:42,280 --> 01:47:46,600
Speaker 2: She understands this innately as a woman. This is what

1923
01:47:46,680 --> 01:47:49,840
Speaker 2: I believe. I'm obviously not a woman. Trump needs to

1924
01:47:49,920 --> 01:47:53,320
Speaker 2: learn to take advice from everybody around him. He campaigned

1925
01:47:53,320 --> 01:47:55,360
Speaker 2: on it. He said, this is what I'm going to do.

1926
01:47:55,840 --> 01:47:59,000
Speaker 2: She took him literally on his face and did not

1927
01:47:59,160 --> 01:48:02,120
Speaker 2: understand why he was going in about face about these

1928
01:48:02,160 --> 01:48:05,360
Speaker 2: Epstein foulets. But ultimately, guess what happened. He had to

1929
01:48:05,400 --> 01:48:09,240
Speaker 2: submit to the power of the people who probably inundated

1930
01:48:09,240 --> 01:48:12,320
Speaker 2: his office, saying what in the heck is going on? Right?

1931
01:48:12,720 --> 01:48:15,120
Speaker 2: So now he's shutting his mouth about it. But the

1932
01:48:15,160 --> 01:48:17,960
Speaker 2: woman has already been harmed because she's been saying, I'm

1933
01:48:17,960 --> 01:48:21,439
Speaker 2: gonna primary you. He's been saying all these outlandish themes

1934
01:48:21,439 --> 01:48:24,200
Speaker 2: about her, and I'm saying, if you're a Trump supporter,

1935
01:48:24,600 --> 01:48:29,040
Speaker 2: you cannot support blindly any leader. You've got to be

1936
01:48:29,080 --> 01:48:31,479
Speaker 2: able to call him out when they're wrong and they're

1937
01:48:31,479 --> 01:48:34,080
Speaker 2: off step. And I say, right here, he was wrong,

1938
01:48:34,160 --> 01:48:37,120
Speaker 2: he was off step, And I'm just so frustrated with

1939
01:48:37,320 --> 01:48:41,120
Speaker 2: why his emotional intelligence is so low. Why can't he

1940
01:48:41,600 --> 01:48:44,360
Speaker 2: just preside as the president. You're the president of the

1941
01:48:44,400 --> 01:48:45,320
Speaker 2: free world.

1942
01:48:45,160 --> 01:48:49,920
Speaker 1: Act like it, Christopher Smitherman. Always enjoy your thoughts and comments.

1943
01:48:50,080 --> 01:48:53,680
Speaker 1: Agree with you on this one completely A little embarrassed.

1944
01:48:53,800 --> 01:48:56,120
Speaker 1: But let us see if we can't find, uh, well,

1945
01:48:57,960 --> 01:48:59,240
Speaker 1: a little greater sanity in.

1946
01:48:59,240 --> 01:49:02,519
Speaker 2: Those follow me people can follow me brother on at

1947
01:49:02,600 --> 01:49:06,200
Speaker 2: vote Smitherman right. I want to stay connected. People who

1948
01:49:06,200 --> 01:49:09,080
Speaker 2: are listening, they can follow me there. I'm going to

1949
01:49:09,120 --> 01:49:11,639
Speaker 2: continue to put my voice out there so people can hear.

1950
01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:15,280
Speaker 2: And obviously, Brian, happy Thanksgiving to you and your family,

1951
01:49:15,520 --> 01:49:17,160
Speaker 2: and thanks for giving me a voice.

1952
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:19,200
Speaker 1: Brother, love hearing from you. I'm happy to provide the

1953
01:49:19,280 --> 01:49:21,360
Speaker 1: voice for you, and I look forward to next Monday.

1954
01:49:21,360 --> 01:49:24,720
Speaker 1: In another edition of this particular segment. Enjoy your thanksgiving,

1955
01:49:24,840 --> 01:49:26,680
Speaker 1: much love to you and your family. It's coming up

1956
01:49:26,720 --> 01:49:28,439
Speaker 1: at seven forty nine right now if you have ker

1957
01:49:28,520 --> 01:49:31,559
Speaker 1: Cite talk station, Money Monday with Brian James, got some

1958
01:49:31,600 --> 01:49:35,160
Speaker 1: interesting topics to talk with him. Middle class buckling under

1959
01:49:35,240 --> 01:49:39,599
Speaker 1: almost five years of persistent inflation. There's that I word again.

1960
01:49:39,760 --> 01:49:41,680
Speaker 1: That's one of the topics with Brian James coming up.

1961
01:49:41,680 --> 01:49:42,559
Speaker 1: I hope you can stick.

1962
01:49:42,400 --> 01:49:46,320
Speaker 3: Around fifty five KRC Hi, it's Brian Thomas with.

1963
01:49:51,439 --> 01:49:54,160
Speaker 1: Seven fifty three if you have Kerseite talk station. Yeah, Alan,

1964
01:49:54,240 --> 01:49:58,320
Speaker 1: I don't know instant message. I think all this Epstein

1965
01:49:58,360 --> 01:50:01,160
Speaker 1: STFF is just this shiny object. They're trying to distract

1966
01:50:01,200 --> 01:50:02,640
Speaker 1: us from something. What do you think that might be

1967
01:50:03,600 --> 01:50:08,639
Speaker 1: good point? Allen chaos, general chaos. I don't know it's

1968
01:50:08,680 --> 01:50:11,880
Speaker 1: an important issue as a standalone one, but yeah, I

1969
01:50:11,880 --> 01:50:14,519
Speaker 1: do believe you're right. It is a major distraction that's

1970
01:50:14,560 --> 01:50:16,760
Speaker 1: going on right here in America. We're going to hear

1971
01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:18,400
Speaker 1: him from Brian James after the top of the our

1972
01:50:18,520 --> 01:50:21,759
Speaker 1: news all with Financials. Brian James question, in the middle class,

1973
01:50:21,840 --> 01:50:26,000
Speaker 1: is it buckling at her almost five years persistent inflation? Probably?

1974
01:50:26,280 --> 01:50:27,800
Speaker 1: You know, I've seen a bunch of articles about this,

1975
01:50:27,920 --> 01:50:31,840
Speaker 1: and you're not going to get any traction with me

1976
01:50:31,920 --> 01:50:36,840
Speaker 1: complaining about inflation, which is a worthy complaint, when part

1977
01:50:36,840 --> 01:50:39,120
Speaker 1: of your complaint talks about how much your Starbucks coffee

1978
01:50:39,120 --> 01:50:41,639
Speaker 1: has gotten. I saw one article woman complaining about meeting

1979
01:50:41,640 --> 01:50:44,479
Speaker 1: her financial needs and then was grumbling about an eight

1980
01:50:44,520 --> 01:50:47,439
Speaker 1: dollar cup of coffee at Starbucks. I know coffee's gone

1981
01:50:47,439 --> 01:50:49,080
Speaker 1: through the roof for a multitude of reasons. Yes, there

1982
01:50:49,080 --> 01:50:52,360
Speaker 1: are tariff implications that may increase the price, of course

1983
01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:55,160
Speaker 1: it can, but you also have a problem with the

1984
01:50:55,200 --> 01:50:59,040
Speaker 1: growing season and issues with regard to the available coffee

1985
01:50:59,040 --> 01:51:02,120
Speaker 1: on the Marketplying to mankicks in regardless of tariff. So,

1986
01:51:02,800 --> 01:51:10,200
Speaker 1: but are we focusing on what's truly important? And another

1987
01:51:10,520 --> 01:51:13,439
Speaker 1: topic America's happiness at a record low? Are we just

1988
01:51:13,640 --> 01:51:17,160
Speaker 1: using our money the wrong way? Ah? That's topic number

1989
01:51:17,160 --> 01:51:19,280
Speaker 1: two with Brian James kind of going to a point

1990
01:51:19,280 --> 01:51:22,800
Speaker 1: that I just made there. And then finally, is Thanksgiving

1991
01:51:22,800 --> 01:51:25,519
Speaker 1: dinner actually twenty five percent less this year? As Donald

1992
01:51:25,560 --> 01:51:32,280
Speaker 1: Trump suggests his numbers are misleading according to the headline. Anyway,

1993
01:51:32,360 --> 01:51:34,720
Speaker 1: Brian James on those topics from Allworth Financial, He'll be

1994
01:51:34,760 --> 01:51:36,200
Speaker 1: up next, and we're gonna hear from the VA. Chris

1995
01:51:36,280 --> 01:51:38,639
Speaker 1: Clue is going to join the program. The KRC Care

1996
01:51:38,720 --> 01:51:42,000
Speaker 1: segment at eight forty about the new two outpatient clinics

1997
01:51:42,000 --> 01:51:44,160
Speaker 1: and the Eye Center where they are, what they're going

1998
01:51:44,240 --> 01:51:47,479
Speaker 1: to offer, and also other benefits that you veterans can

1999
01:51:47,479 --> 01:51:49,799
Speaker 1: get when you roll in the Cincinniva and take advantage

2000
01:51:49,800 --> 01:51:51,960
Speaker 1: of what you earn thanks to your military service. God

2001
01:51:51,960 --> 01:51:54,519
Speaker 1: bless the American veterans. Stick around Brian James. Up next,

2002
01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:55,920
Speaker 1: the events.

2003
01:51:55,520 --> 01:51:57,880
Speaker 3: Of the day, Portland, Chicago violent crime.

01:52:23,960 --> 01:52:25,200
Speaker 1: week to you, mister Thomas.

2012
01:52:25,280 --> 01:52:28,000
Speaker 12: And let's not start this week by talking about stuff

2013
01:52:28,000 --> 01:52:30,759
Speaker 12: that happened at Peycourse Stadium unless we're gonna talk about

2014
01:52:30,760 --> 01:52:35,040
Speaker 12: the Instant Classic. Not yesterday, but Friday night, between Santax

2015
01:52:35,080 --> 01:52:39,400
Speaker 12: and Elder What an awesome game. I love my Santex Bombers,

2016
01:52:39,680 --> 01:52:41,600
Speaker 12: but the pit is one of the awesomest places to

2017
01:52:41,640 --> 01:52:43,840
Speaker 12: go see a game, only left out by the fact

2018
01:52:43,840 --> 01:52:46,360
Speaker 12: that the clearview no longer exists, so you can get

2019
01:52:46,360 --> 01:52:49,160
Speaker 12: a fish log and a plastic picture of Hoodie any clearview.

2020
01:52:49,200 --> 01:52:50,960
Speaker 12: Tamer and we used to go there after Little League

2021
01:52:50,960 --> 01:52:53,200
Speaker 12: baseball games. They buy us a picture of cooker coal

2022
01:52:53,240 --> 01:52:55,679
Speaker 12: and a and at a bowl of pretzels and chips,

2023
01:52:55,680 --> 01:52:57,920
Speaker 12: and the and the dads would sit around the table

2024
01:52:57,920 --> 01:53:02,080
Speaker 12: and chug down pictures of beer, so memories, plastic pictures. Absolutely,

2025
01:53:02,160 --> 01:53:03,599
Speaker 12: that was a great place. And you could order some

2026
01:53:03,720 --> 01:53:05,880
Speaker 12: gastro and Tessina regrat for the next day. Yes, I

2027
01:53:05,960 --> 01:53:07,960
Speaker 12: ended up missing it unfortunately though, because we could. We

2028
01:53:07,960 --> 01:53:09,759
Speaker 12: were going to go to the game, but the weather

2029
01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:11,559
Speaker 12: screwed up traffic and all that, so we ended up

2030
01:53:11,640 --> 01:53:13,880
Speaker 12: up at Liberty Collective up in Liberty Township. That's another

2031
01:53:13,880 --> 01:53:15,639
Speaker 12: great place to watch a game on the big screen.

2032
01:53:15,760 --> 01:53:18,160
Speaker 12: They've been putting high school games on there all all

2033
01:53:18,160 --> 01:53:19,760
Speaker 12: seasoned long. So if you get a chance, come up

2034
01:53:19,800 --> 01:53:21,760
Speaker 12: here to Lakota East High School and give it a

2035
01:53:21,800 --> 01:53:24,400
Speaker 12: watch oh starting off on a positive note and happy things.

2036
01:53:24,640 --> 01:53:26,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about the Bengals. I know,

2037
01:53:26,400 --> 01:53:28,639
Speaker 1: I know, I know, although I did. The defense did

2038
01:53:28,680 --> 01:53:30,519
Speaker 1: show up for a while there during the game, Yeah

2039
01:53:30,600 --> 01:53:33,479
Speaker 1: they did. I was impressed. Man, they held them at

2040
01:53:33,479 --> 01:53:35,960
Speaker 1: the line a couple of different times, and I kept think,

2041
01:53:36,040 --> 01:53:38,360
Speaker 1: what's a foregone conclusion. We've got another touchdown coming our way?

2042
01:53:38,400 --> 01:53:40,800
Speaker 1: But now so anyway, there was some positive light in

2043
01:53:40,880 --> 01:53:43,720
Speaker 1: that game, but obviously a sad overall outcome. So we're

2044
01:53:43,760 --> 01:53:45,320
Speaker 1: just gonna have to live with it. And we're gonna

2045
01:53:45,320 --> 01:53:47,639
Speaker 1: have to live with inflation too. I don't know where

2046
01:53:47,720 --> 01:53:49,760
Speaker 1: you want to start. I know where you got the FED.

2047
01:53:49,880 --> 01:53:52,599
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe not cutting the interest rate this fall. We've

2048
01:53:52,640 --> 01:53:56,200
Speaker 1: got middle class buckling under persistent inflation. Maybe we should

2049
01:53:56,200 --> 01:53:58,599
Speaker 1: start with that one, then segue over to whether we're

2050
01:53:58,640 --> 01:54:00,639
Speaker 1: using our money the right or wrong way. But yeah,

2051
01:54:00,680 --> 01:54:02,880
Speaker 1: we have persistent inflation. It's going on for years now.

2052
01:54:02,920 --> 01:54:05,840
Speaker 1: Everything's more expensive than Brian James. How likely is it

2053
01:54:05,880 --> 01:54:08,400
Speaker 1: that prices are going to be rolled back to, say,

2054
01:54:08,479 --> 01:54:10,920
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine at any time in the future.

2055
01:54:11,040 --> 01:54:14,040
Speaker 12: Well, I wouldn't be holding our breath on that particular topic.

2056
01:54:14,080 --> 01:54:16,320
Speaker 12: Mister Thomas, I don't think that's the way it works.

2057
01:54:16,360 --> 01:54:18,799
Speaker 12: But yeah, So what we're seeing now is we're really

2058
01:54:18,920 --> 01:54:21,479
Speaker 12: starting to see the strain of inflation. So after five

2059
01:54:21,560 --> 01:54:24,599
Speaker 12: years of being the way it is, lots of middle

2060
01:54:24,600 --> 01:54:29,280
Speaker 12: class households are really showing some concern about it. Headline

2061
01:54:29,320 --> 01:54:31,800
Speaker 12: inflation has fallen from twenty twenty two, so we're not

2062
01:54:31,800 --> 01:54:34,200
Speaker 12: at the nine percent crazy inflation that we used to be.

2063
01:54:34,360 --> 01:54:35,600
Speaker 1: But it's still up right.

2064
01:54:35,840 --> 01:54:38,960
Speaker 12: So the inflation doesn't generally go back to the way

2065
01:54:39,000 --> 01:54:41,600
Speaker 12: it was, It just stops increasing at the same rate.

2066
01:54:41,680 --> 01:54:44,360
Speaker 12: So where we did have nine percent inflation, we've dropped

2067
01:54:44,400 --> 01:54:47,120
Speaker 12: back to three. We would very much appreciate if we

2068
01:54:47,160 --> 01:54:49,160
Speaker 12: could get back to two percent, that would be nice,

2069
01:54:49,160 --> 01:54:50,320
Speaker 12: but that's probably not in the.

2070
01:54:50,240 --> 01:54:51,120
Speaker 1: Cars anytime soon.

2071
01:54:51,440 --> 01:54:55,080
Speaker 12: So households earning sixty six thousand to maybe two hundred

2072
01:54:55,080 --> 01:54:57,400
Speaker 12: thousand or part of this survey and just lots of

2073
01:54:57,440 --> 01:55:01,440
Speaker 12: them claiming that they know purchasing power has declined and

2074
01:55:01,480 --> 01:55:03,360
Speaker 12: really starting to see the numbers come through in their

2075
01:55:03,400 --> 01:55:04,080
Speaker 12: checking accounts.

2076
01:55:04,120 --> 01:55:07,280
Speaker 1: Well, doesn't this serve as a moment of reflection to

2077
01:55:07,720 --> 01:55:10,560
Speaker 1: pause and really think about whether or not this is

2078
01:55:10,600 --> 01:55:13,200
Speaker 1: the way I've lived my life, Brian James. Do I

2079
01:55:13,280 --> 01:55:16,000
Speaker 1: really need it now? I occasionally bend the rule and

2080
01:55:16,080 --> 01:55:18,000
Speaker 1: give myself a little paut of the back or gift

2081
01:55:18,040 --> 01:55:20,200
Speaker 1: as a consequence of my hard work, But a lot

2082
01:55:20,200 --> 01:55:21,680
Speaker 1: of times, you know, while stand there, it's like, no,

2083
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:23,760
Speaker 1: don't need it. I don't really need to buy that.

2084
01:55:23,840 --> 01:55:25,760
Speaker 1: It's an impulse by If I wait five minutes, I'm

2085
01:55:25,800 --> 01:55:27,480
Speaker 1: really it's gonna clear my head. I'll move on with

2086
01:55:27,520 --> 01:55:29,720
Speaker 1: my wife and I won't regret not buying whatever it

2087
01:55:29,760 --> 01:55:32,480
Speaker 1: is I'm contemplating. But it's been a real check on

2088
01:55:32,880 --> 01:55:35,360
Speaker 1: managing money over the years of my wife and I.

2089
01:55:35,360 --> 01:55:37,480
Speaker 1: I'm lucky enough to have married a very frugal woman

2090
01:55:37,520 --> 01:55:39,280
Speaker 1: who kind of goes through life the same way. Do

2091
01:55:39,360 --> 01:55:41,400
Speaker 1: I really need it? The answer is not really? Then

2092
01:55:41,760 --> 01:55:44,240
Speaker 1: you just do it out. It's like Starbucks coffee. Anytime

2093
01:55:44,280 --> 01:55:46,520
Speaker 1: I read an article about someone complaining about inflation then

2094
01:55:46,600 --> 01:55:49,600
Speaker 1: turns to their eight dollars a cup Starbucks, I'm sorry,

2095
01:55:49,640 --> 01:55:52,200
Speaker 1: I've got no love for that. You buy aunt two

2096
01:55:52,240 --> 01:55:54,880
Speaker 1: pounds of coffee at costco. Yes, it's now eighteen ninety

2097
01:55:54,960 --> 01:55:57,000
Speaker 1: nine for the two pounds, but you can make fat

2098
01:55:57,160 --> 01:56:00,520
Speaker 1: tons of coffee pots pot's worth of coffee that are

2099
01:56:00,560 --> 01:56:03,520
Speaker 1: less money than the eight dollars one single cup at Starbucks.

2100
01:56:03,560 --> 01:56:05,680
Speaker 1: It's just one of many things to get into my skin, Brian.

2101
01:56:05,720 --> 01:56:08,360
Speaker 1: But then again, you choose what you want to spend

2102
01:56:08,400 --> 01:56:10,840
Speaker 1: money on. But there are ways that we can all trim.

2103
01:56:11,080 --> 01:56:13,520
Speaker 1: Do we need to reflect on what's important? Brian James?

2104
01:56:13,840 --> 01:56:16,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it's been a few decades really since

2105
01:56:16,600 --> 01:56:19,240
Speaker 12: we've had since the country as a whole has been

2106
01:56:19,280 --> 01:56:22,720
Speaker 12: really forced to choose this. But not that because we've

2107
01:56:22,760 --> 01:56:26,360
Speaker 12: been so successful economically that we've many people really just

2108
01:56:26,440 --> 01:56:29,280
Speaker 12: haven't been forced into that situation. And like you just raised,

2109
01:56:29,360 --> 01:56:31,800
Speaker 12: you're not either, and neither am I, except that we

2110
01:56:31,960 --> 01:56:34,320
Speaker 12: notice it. So you know, in the conversations I have

2111
01:56:34,440 --> 01:56:37,120
Speaker 12: with my clients, you know, there's really two worlds out there.

2112
01:56:37,120 --> 01:56:39,600
Speaker 12: There are people who are forced and have to cut

2113
01:56:39,640 --> 01:56:41,560
Speaker 12: back and it's just the way it is, and there

2114
01:56:41,600 --> 01:56:43,800
Speaker 12: are people who are just annoyed by it. It seems

2115
01:56:43,800 --> 01:56:46,320
Speaker 12: like everybody is in one of two groups. And unfortunately,

2116
01:56:46,560 --> 01:56:49,480
Speaker 12: we're just in a situation where the country has been

2117
01:56:49,560 --> 01:56:52,520
Speaker 12: so successful economically that we can afford to get away

2118
01:56:52,520 --> 01:56:53,960
Speaker 12: with it for now, and that hurts a lot of

2119
01:56:54,000 --> 01:56:56,440
Speaker 12: people that are on the lower end of the economic spectrum.

2120
01:56:56,480 --> 01:56:58,160
Speaker 12: Those are the ones that are getting hurt. The rest

2121
01:56:58,200 --> 01:57:00,640
Speaker 12: of us are just annoyed. So be said, if you're

2122
01:57:00,640 --> 01:57:03,280
Speaker 12: in that ladder group, be thankful on Thursday that that's

2123
01:57:03,320 --> 01:57:05,080
Speaker 12: the case for you. If you can choose not to

2124
01:57:05,120 --> 01:57:07,440
Speaker 12: do something because it annoys you that it's too expensive,

2125
01:57:07,680 --> 01:57:09,640
Speaker 12: that's one thing. If you have to do it and

2126
01:57:09,680 --> 01:57:12,760
Speaker 12: you have to sacrifice something else important, that is another thing.

2127
01:57:12,880 --> 01:57:15,600
Speaker 1: Entirely. Well, Yeah, and your last word is the most

2128
01:57:15,600 --> 01:57:19,200
Speaker 1: important thing, an operative word in the sense if it's important.

2129
01:57:19,600 --> 01:57:22,320
Speaker 1: Very surely we are priorities about what is truly important.

2130
01:57:22,320 --> 01:57:23,720
Speaker 1: I think are kind of out of whack. And I

2131
01:57:23,760 --> 01:57:26,120
Speaker 1: agree with you completely for the reasons that you stayed.

2132
01:57:26,200 --> 01:57:29,280
Speaker 1: We've just had it so wonderful in this country for

2133
01:57:29,320 --> 01:57:31,960
Speaker 1: so long you really pretty much have to go back

2134
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:34,160
Speaker 1: to I don't know if whether it was the tech

2135
01:57:34,200 --> 01:57:36,120
Speaker 1: bubble to burst and the housing bubble to burst, but

2136
01:57:36,120 --> 01:57:38,680
Speaker 1: I think more fundamentally, the entire decade that was the

2137
01:57:38,760 --> 01:57:41,400
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies to get to a point where things were really,

2138
01:57:41,480 --> 01:57:44,960
Speaker 1: really crappy and everyone pretty much felt it, including the

2139
01:57:44,960 --> 01:57:45,920
Speaker 1: house I grew up in.

2140
01:57:46,560 --> 01:57:48,560
Speaker 12: Yeah, And I would say all all of the different

2141
01:57:48,640 --> 01:57:50,720
Speaker 12: things that have happened. And I've mentioned this before, but

2142
01:57:51,040 --> 01:57:52,920
Speaker 12: over the last say fifty years, like you mentioned, the

2143
01:57:52,960 --> 01:57:55,360
Speaker 12: seventies touched everybody, not a lot of you know, you

2144
01:57:55,400 --> 01:57:58,280
Speaker 12: couldn't really find corners of the economy they were doing

2145
01:57:58,280 --> 01:58:01,720
Speaker 12: well Versus two thousand, in two twenty eight, and twenty

2146
01:58:01,720 --> 01:58:04,280
Speaker 12: twenty two. All of those came along with crazy stock

2147
01:58:04,320 --> 01:58:07,360
Speaker 12: market and economic swings, but those each one and each

2148
01:58:07,440 --> 01:58:09,120
Speaker 12: one of those became a catalyst.

2149
01:58:09,480 --> 01:58:09,640
Speaker 2: Right.

2150
01:58:09,720 --> 01:58:11,760
Speaker 12: So so two thousand and two we had the tech

2151
01:58:11,760 --> 01:58:13,880
Speaker 12: bubble burst that cleaned up the tech industry and then

2152
01:58:13,920 --> 01:58:15,680
Speaker 12: it went on to the great heights that we've seen now.

2153
01:58:15,960 --> 01:58:19,040
Speaker 12: Two thousand and eight we saw the financial backbone of

2154
01:58:19,040 --> 01:58:21,840
Speaker 12: the country almost collapse, cleaned that up and went on

2155
01:58:21,880 --> 01:58:25,240
Speaker 12: to greater heights too. Twenty twenty two was the COVID pullback,

2156
01:58:25,280 --> 01:58:27,480
Speaker 12: and that ended up becoming a tech boom because everybody

2157
01:58:27,560 --> 01:58:30,200
Speaker 12: had to go get a second desktop worth of technology

2158
01:58:30,240 --> 01:58:33,160
Speaker 12: to bring it home. All those things drove the market higher,

2159
01:58:33,200 --> 01:58:34,360
Speaker 12: and I would say, I agree with you. In the

2160
01:58:34,360 --> 01:58:36,600
Speaker 12: seventies that really wasn't the case. We had ten years

2161
01:58:36,600 --> 01:58:39,480
Speaker 12: of stagnancy. Even if you were doing okay, it meant

2162
01:58:39,520 --> 01:58:41,960
Speaker 12: you were treading water. The rest of the country was

2163
01:58:42,040 --> 01:58:44,440
Speaker 12: kind of occasionally bobbing up and down below the surface.

2164
01:58:44,480 --> 01:58:47,160
Speaker 12: So yeah, it's been a long time since we've had

2165
01:58:47,160 --> 01:58:49,840
Speaker 12: to sacrifice. And when I look back, I feel like

2166
01:58:49,920 --> 01:58:52,800
Speaker 12: the eighties and the nineties were the anomaly because really,

2167
01:58:52,800 --> 01:58:56,160
Speaker 12: nothing bad, nothing crazy happened. We had twenty years worth

2168
01:58:56,160 --> 01:58:58,120
Speaker 12: of solid markets, and there's I think there's a whole

2169
01:58:58,120 --> 01:59:01,080
Speaker 12: generation of people who feel like that every pullback has

2170
01:59:01,120 --> 01:59:03,520
Speaker 12: been since then has been a mistake, something went wrong.

2171
01:59:03,720 --> 01:59:05,680
Speaker 12: But if you look back over history, that's not the case.

2172
01:59:05,720 --> 01:59:08,760
Speaker 12: It's the opposite. There's usually chaos. The eighties and the

2173
01:59:08,840 --> 01:59:11,120
Speaker 12: nineties were too quiet, and that led a whole generation

2174
01:59:11,200 --> 01:59:13,480
Speaker 12: plus of people to think that that was the norm.

2175
01:59:13,760 --> 01:59:16,280
Speaker 12: So that gave us kind of a bit of a

2176
01:59:16,560 --> 01:59:20,640
Speaker 12: mistaken underpinning of what we think the economy is supposed

2177
01:59:20,640 --> 01:59:23,080
Speaker 12: to be. But I believe over the last quarter century

2178
01:59:23,160 --> 01:59:24,920
Speaker 12: or so, we've been reminded that it don't work.

2179
01:59:24,800 --> 01:59:26,360
Speaker 1: That way all the time. Yeah, And you know, one

2180
01:59:26,400 --> 01:59:28,600
Speaker 1: of the points it was made in this American Happiness

2181
01:59:28,680 --> 01:59:30,640
Speaker 1: is that a record low are we just using money

2182
01:59:30,680 --> 01:59:32,600
Speaker 1: the wrong way? Article that's kind of served as the

2183
01:59:32,600 --> 01:59:35,680
Speaker 1: impetus for this discussion. Some degree. Anyway, and you know,

2184
01:59:35,720 --> 01:59:38,400
Speaker 1: back to my complaint about Starbucks coffee. I love this

2185
01:59:39,040 --> 01:59:41,280
Speaker 1: woman who's quoted in the article. You know, she cried

2186
01:59:41,360 --> 01:59:44,080
Speaker 1: every day after buying a five thousand square foot house

2187
01:59:44,120 --> 01:59:47,000
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, and she's lamenting that, Oh, it was my

2188
01:59:47,160 --> 01:59:49,200
Speaker 1: dream to have, you know, grow up in a big

2189
01:59:49,240 --> 01:59:52,920
Speaker 1: house or you know, raised my family in a big house. Well,

2190
01:59:53,200 --> 01:59:56,000
Speaker 1: maybe the dream was misplaced. I mean, I think about this.

2191
01:59:56,080 --> 01:59:58,320
Speaker 1: She reckonized. Okay, we had cleaning the house was a big,

2192
01:59:58,360 --> 02:00:00,520
Speaker 1: massive undertaking that her mom showed up and says, you

2193
02:00:00,520 --> 02:00:02,480
Speaker 1: don't have any window treatments. You need window treatments. So

2194
02:00:02,560 --> 02:00:05,600
Speaker 1: she's like, okay, now I spend my time doing window treatments.

2195
02:00:05,720 --> 02:00:07,879
Speaker 1: You know, Furnishing a big home like that is expensive,

2196
02:00:07,920 --> 02:00:11,880
Speaker 1: cleaning it, heating it, you know, a cooling of the summertime.

2197
02:00:12,440 --> 02:00:14,760
Speaker 1: What are you using it for? Is this? Keep up

2198
02:00:14,760 --> 02:00:16,960
Speaker 1: with the Joneses? Are you a victim of so much

2199
02:00:17,040 --> 02:00:19,320
Speaker 1: marketing that you feel that unless you have something that

2200
02:00:19,440 --> 02:00:22,760
Speaker 1: is extraordinarily large, too large for your even your basic needs,

2201
02:00:23,440 --> 02:00:26,120
Speaker 1: that that's the right way to go. Do you need it?

2202
02:00:26,200 --> 02:00:28,680
Speaker 1: That's going back to my fundamental question do you really

2203
02:00:28,720 --> 02:00:29,280
Speaker 1: need it?

2204
02:00:29,480 --> 02:00:29,640
Speaker 2: Right?

2205
02:00:29,680 --> 02:00:31,640
Speaker 12: And I think that's where we've convinced ourselves that we

2206
02:00:31,720 --> 02:00:34,440
Speaker 12: deserve certain things, and then certain things are just expected

2207
02:00:34,440 --> 02:00:36,360
Speaker 12: to be. As you said, it was always her dream

2208
02:00:36,440 --> 02:00:38,520
Speaker 12: to raise a family in her you know, in a

2209
02:00:38,600 --> 02:00:40,600
Speaker 12: large house. So I think back to the books that

2210
02:00:40,680 --> 02:00:42,760
Speaker 12: John Steinbeck wrote about the Great Depression.

2211
02:00:42,880 --> 02:00:45,240
Speaker 1: It was somebody's dream to raise a family in a house.

2212
02:00:46,600 --> 02:00:48,440
Speaker 12: I don't think anybody's going to be writing any classic

2213
02:00:48,480 --> 02:00:50,720
Speaker 12: American literature about not being able to get the window

2214
02:00:50,760 --> 02:00:51,960
Speaker 12: treatments you want.

2215
02:00:52,320 --> 02:00:56,280
Speaker 1: I know, that's exactly my point. I mean, we need

2216
02:00:56,320 --> 02:00:58,480
Speaker 1: to step back and just adjust a little bit. I

2217
02:00:58,480 --> 02:01:01,480
Speaker 1: know we have a consumer driven a me, but come on.

2218
02:01:02,040 --> 02:01:04,160
Speaker 12: Really, you know, a great week to do a little

2219
02:01:04,200 --> 02:01:07,040
Speaker 12: introspection and make sure that you're you're focused on the

2220
02:01:07,120 --> 02:01:09,720
Speaker 12: right things. And that goes for me too, right, We're

2221
02:01:09,800 --> 02:01:11,800
Speaker 12: we're fortunate to not have some you know similar I know,

2222
02:01:12,080 --> 02:01:13,920
Speaker 12: I know I not havet too many concerns, but at

2223
02:01:13,920 --> 02:01:16,480
Speaker 12: the same time, that also causes me to gripe about

2224
02:01:16,520 --> 02:01:18,000
Speaker 12: things that I really should be thankful about.

2225
02:01:18,280 --> 02:01:22,760
Speaker 1: Exactly, but you see, and you're right, I'll acknowledge my privilege.

2226
02:01:22,840 --> 02:01:24,600
Speaker 1: My wife and I worked very, very hard to get

2227
02:01:24,640 --> 02:01:26,600
Speaker 1: to a point where you know, we're comfortable and I

2228
02:01:26,600 --> 02:01:29,280
Speaker 1: don't see any envision any problems. But then again, I

2229
02:01:29,360 --> 02:01:31,640
Speaker 1: never was I went I never went down this road.

2230
02:01:32,280 --> 02:01:34,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be where I am today if I had been,

2231
02:01:34,280 --> 02:01:38,560
Speaker 1: you know, uh, captivated by keeping up with the Joneses,

2232
02:01:38,680 --> 02:01:41,600
Speaker 1: or it's just m we did. Maybe this is a

2233
02:01:41,600 --> 02:01:45,680
Speaker 1: good time to readjust maybe start reflecting on priorities, being

2234
02:01:45,720 --> 02:01:47,960
Speaker 1: thankful for what we have, and maybe saying, you know what,

2235
02:01:48,560 --> 02:01:50,760
Speaker 1: I don't care what that guy on the street's got,

2236
02:01:51,120 --> 02:01:53,160
Speaker 1: what he's spending it on. In fact, I remember that

2237
02:01:53,280 --> 02:01:55,480
Speaker 1: my favorite commercial was the guy driving the lawnmower and

2238
02:01:55,520 --> 02:01:57,960
Speaker 1: he's in this front of this massive, gorgeous house and

2239
02:01:58,000 --> 02:01:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, brand new Lahmer and he's driving. He's had

2240
02:01:59,640 --> 02:02:01,560
Speaker 1: this big we're in on his face, and all he's

2241
02:02:01,600 --> 02:02:04,120
Speaker 1: thinking about is how underwater he is for all the

2242
02:02:04,160 --> 02:02:05,800
Speaker 1: stuff that he had cut acquired.

2243
02:02:06,520 --> 02:02:08,640
Speaker 12: Probably can't fit that long more back in the garage

2244
02:02:08,680 --> 02:02:10,160
Speaker 12: because of all the other craft that's in there.

2245
02:02:10,200 --> 02:02:13,560
Speaker 1: Exactly your possessions will own you. Maybe we need to

2246
02:02:13,600 --> 02:02:16,640
Speaker 1: start thinking about that little bit. Brian, All right, let's

2247
02:02:16,640 --> 02:02:19,280
Speaker 1: be thankful for what we have and let's move on

2248
02:02:19,360 --> 02:02:20,920
Speaker 1: to find out, well, what's the fed gonna do about

2275
02:03:34,280 --> 02:03:37,480
Speaker 1: call money Monday. Here's a rhetorical question for you there, Brian,

2276
02:03:37,520 --> 02:03:40,960
Speaker 1: as it was waiting for the commercial break to be over,

2277
02:03:41,520 --> 02:03:44,040
Speaker 1: would you turn down a proposal from your true love

2278
02:03:44,200 --> 02:03:46,720
Speaker 1: for want of the diamond that you had in mind

2279
02:03:46,800 --> 02:03:47,520
Speaker 1: that you wanted.

2280
02:03:48,480 --> 02:03:50,760
Speaker 12: Oh, and we'd be looking at lab diamonds all day

2281
02:03:50,760 --> 02:03:53,720
Speaker 12: every day because I'm a financial planner and she is

2282
02:03:53,760 --> 02:03:57,600
Speaker 12: extremely frugal too. See lab diamonds there.

2283
02:03:57,760 --> 02:04:00,640
Speaker 1: They'll pick the frugal woman that's what you need, or

2284
02:04:00,720 --> 02:04:01,560
Speaker 1: frugal mete.

2285
02:04:02,760 --> 02:04:05,440
Speaker 12: He just pick somebody who's yeah, who isn't who is

2286
02:04:05,480 --> 02:04:07,040
Speaker 12: doesn't have a wing it mentality?

2287
02:04:07,280 --> 02:04:07,440
Speaker 2: Right?

2288
02:04:07,720 --> 02:04:09,800
Speaker 1: You know you can always upgrade down the road too

2289
02:04:09,920 --> 02:04:11,960
Speaker 1: when you get more money. If you're financially you're talking

2290
02:04:11,960 --> 02:04:14,960
Speaker 1: about the diamond or the spouse. No, the diamond, Yeah,

2291
02:04:15,040 --> 02:04:17,840
Speaker 1: I forgot you well, because that's what I did. I

2292
02:04:18,240 --> 02:04:19,960
Speaker 1: bought the diamond of the day. We just I decided

2293
02:04:19,960 --> 02:04:22,400
Speaker 1: I was going to ask her to be my wife,

2294
02:04:22,440 --> 02:04:23,800
Speaker 1: and went out and bought it. And I went to

2295
02:04:23,840 --> 02:04:26,040
Speaker 1: the you know, the jewelers row there in Chicago, and

2296
02:04:26,120 --> 02:04:28,840
Speaker 1: that's where I went, and I got what I could afford.

2297
02:04:29,360 --> 02:04:31,560
Speaker 1: But it was a plain simple you know, I think

2298
02:04:31,640 --> 02:04:33,960
Speaker 1: the setting where it was like one hundred dollars for

2299
02:04:34,040 --> 02:04:36,720
Speaker 1: the gold band, that's all. It was a diamond in

2300
02:04:36,720 --> 02:04:39,320
Speaker 1: a band. Well, several years later, you know, things have

2301
02:04:39,400 --> 02:04:41,160
Speaker 1: gotten a little better for us financially. I bought her

2302
02:04:41,160 --> 02:04:43,000
Speaker 1: a new setting and it's got diamonds in it and

2303
02:04:43,040 --> 02:04:44,800
Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff, so it acts censorring and

2304
02:04:44,840 --> 02:04:47,240
Speaker 1: she loves it. You know, didn't get it all at

2305
02:04:47,240 --> 02:04:48,880
Speaker 1: the first. That waited a little bit.

2306
02:04:49,000 --> 02:04:51,240
Speaker 12: That's ironic. That's the exact same place that that we

2307
02:04:51,240 --> 02:04:53,640
Speaker 12: did our kidding working up there at the time. And yeah,

2308
02:04:53,680 --> 02:04:55,360
Speaker 12: she she the only thing she gave me was she

2309
02:04:55,400 --> 02:04:56,960
Speaker 12: had there, was she had a shape that she wanted.

2310
02:04:57,000 --> 02:04:59,240
Speaker 12: Nothing else mattered, and we talked about upgrading it down

2311
02:04:59,240 --> 02:05:00,800
Speaker 12: the road, but by the time time we got there,

2312
02:05:01,000 --> 02:05:02,960
Speaker 12: the other things just had become more important that we

2313
02:05:02,960 --> 02:05:04,640
Speaker 12: were working on together, family and house and all that

2314
02:05:04,680 --> 02:05:06,840
Speaker 12: other stuff, and so she still got the same one

2315
02:05:06,840 --> 02:05:07,800
Speaker 12: that she used.

2316
02:05:07,640 --> 02:05:10,480
Speaker 1: That and you know what it has now sentimental value.

2317
02:05:10,520 --> 02:05:12,720
Speaker 1: There you got that. I didn't get everything I wanted.

2318
02:05:12,760 --> 02:05:14,800
Speaker 1: But you know what, here we are today after all

2319
02:05:14,840 --> 02:05:16,880
Speaker 1: these years, and I have something to look at and

2320
02:05:16,920 --> 02:05:19,400
Speaker 1: reflect on and think, you know what, it isn't the

2321
02:05:19,480 --> 02:05:23,320
Speaker 1: ring that matters? Right, we are still here. Heymen, brother

2322
02:05:23,520 --> 02:05:25,640
Speaker 1: over to the Federal Reserve. Now, one thing I have

2323
02:05:25,680 --> 02:05:28,520
Speaker 1: to observe. If the Federal Reserve cuts rates, that's fine.

2324
02:05:28,560 --> 02:05:30,720
Speaker 1: People may get a little giddy with excitement. It would

2325
02:05:30,720 --> 02:05:35,040
Speaker 1: be fine because presumably interest rates for home purchases would

2326
02:05:35,040 --> 02:05:37,960
Speaker 1: go down, but that does not alter the supply landscape.

2327
02:05:38,000 --> 02:05:39,720
Speaker 1: And it doesn't mean the price of homes. Mean is

2328
02:05:39,720 --> 02:05:41,720
Speaker 1: going to be more affordable. I would argue maybe less

2329
02:05:41,720 --> 02:05:43,480
Speaker 1: so since more people might be in the market.

2330
02:05:43,920 --> 02:05:47,280
Speaker 12: Yeah, and we've actually had some conversations on our with

2331
02:05:47,600 --> 02:05:50,280
Speaker 12: with other experts in the real estate space, basically saying

2332
02:05:50,320 --> 02:05:54,240
Speaker 12: that we we could swing back into the seller's market

2333
02:05:54,440 --> 02:05:56,760
Speaker 12: a little bit with this because of that just yeah,

2334
02:05:56,840 --> 02:05:58,520
Speaker 12: I mean not a whole lot just but it's just

2335
02:05:58,560 --> 02:06:00,960
Speaker 12: not the steady march you know, downward in terms of

2336
02:06:01,000 --> 02:06:02,600
Speaker 12: pricing and all that, because of what you just said,

2337
02:06:02,760 --> 02:06:04,480
Speaker 12: there are people who have been sitting on the sidelines

2338
02:06:04,480 --> 02:06:06,720
Speaker 12: who don't have to buy a house, maybe would really

2339
02:06:06,720 --> 02:06:09,440
Speaker 12: really like to, but we're pausing waiting on interest rates. Well,

2340
02:06:09,440 --> 02:06:11,560
Speaker 12: we've had some interest rate cuts and that is bringing

2341
02:06:11,560 --> 02:06:13,800
Speaker 12: people back in the fold. If you've got a mortgage

2342
02:06:14,120 --> 02:06:16,440
Speaker 12: a few years ago, then you might be looking currently.

2343
02:06:16,480 --> 02:06:18,280
Speaker 12: We've had some upticks too, but over the last several

2344
02:06:18,320 --> 02:06:19,680
Speaker 12: weeks you might have been able to get in it,

2345
02:06:19,680 --> 02:06:21,880
Speaker 12: maybe a full one to one and a half percent

2346
02:06:22,080 --> 02:06:25,000
Speaker 12: a lower refinance rate to knock down that close to

2347
02:06:25,000 --> 02:06:26,880
Speaker 12: eight percent mortgage you were forced to get a few

2348
02:06:26,920 --> 02:06:30,520
Speaker 12: years ago. So we're still on that path, but it's

2349
02:06:30,560 --> 02:06:34,520
Speaker 12: not as likely than it was for another rate cut

2350
02:06:34,520 --> 02:06:37,040
Speaker 12: here in December. So we've got some of the comments

2351
02:06:37,080 --> 02:06:38,560
Speaker 12: that came out at the end of October from the

2352
02:06:38,640 --> 02:06:42,839
Speaker 12: various Fed governors basically are indicating a completely split opinion.

2353
02:06:42,880 --> 02:06:45,240
Speaker 12: There are those who want to go ahead and cut

2354
02:06:45,760 --> 02:06:49,760
Speaker 12: because of the labor situation. That's we want the lower rates,

2355
02:06:49,760 --> 02:06:51,720
Speaker 12: and the other half things that we need to remain

2356
02:06:51,720 --> 02:06:53,800
Speaker 12: at current levels because inflation is still a little higher

2357
02:06:53,840 --> 02:06:56,120
Speaker 12: than we want. Like we said earlier, we're way down

2358
02:06:56,120 --> 02:06:58,400
Speaker 12: off the nine percent peak but we would very much

2359
02:06:58,400 --> 02:07:00,680
Speaker 12: prefer to be closer to two percent currently a little

2360
02:07:00,680 --> 02:07:03,960
Speaker 12: above three. So it depends on what camp you're in.

2361
02:07:04,080 --> 02:07:05,880
Speaker 12: We may or may not be looking at a rate

2362
02:07:05,920 --> 02:07:07,880
Speaker 12: cut here in December, but it's not as likely as

2363
02:07:07,880 --> 02:07:08,600
Speaker 12: it once appeared.

2364
02:07:09,120 --> 02:07:12,600
Speaker 1: Well, I know the labor report was was pretty good,

2365
02:07:12,840 --> 02:07:16,760
Speaker 1: but what is this, this persistent inflation. It seems to

2366
02:07:16,760 --> 02:07:19,360
Speaker 1: me that at some point employers are going to have

2367
02:07:19,400 --> 02:07:21,600
Speaker 1: to start, you know, ratcheting up the salaries so people

2368
02:07:21,600 --> 02:07:23,840
Speaker 1: can afford to buy things, because again, as you point

2369
02:07:23,840 --> 02:07:25,720
Speaker 1: it out, the prices are never going to come down.

2370
02:07:25,760 --> 02:07:29,120
Speaker 1: They're just going to either just increase by less if

2371
02:07:29,120 --> 02:07:30,880
Speaker 1: the if the rate of inflation drops.

2372
02:07:30,920 --> 02:07:32,440
Speaker 12: But well, I mean, I don't I don't know if

2373
02:07:32,440 --> 02:07:33,760
Speaker 12: you meant it this way or not, but you kind

2374
02:07:33,760 --> 02:07:35,880
Speaker 12: of said that what you what I heard you say,

2375
02:07:36,000 --> 02:07:39,600
Speaker 12: was that employers will have to look at raising wages, well,

2376
02:07:39,640 --> 02:07:41,960
Speaker 12: not necessarily, as long as people keep showing up to work,

2377
02:07:42,040 --> 02:07:44,040
Speaker 12: and if they've got the option to start using AI

2378
02:07:44,120 --> 02:07:45,720
Speaker 12: to wipe things out. So I think over the long

2379
02:07:45,880 --> 02:07:48,720
Speaker 12: over the longer homes, Yeah, opposite, So it's going to

2380
02:07:48,760 --> 02:07:50,600
Speaker 12: be a little harder to hang on to that job

2381
02:07:50,640 --> 02:07:52,200
Speaker 12: for all those reasons. But at the end of the day,

2382
02:07:52,200 --> 02:07:54,200
Speaker 12: if they can make the same profit or heaven forbid,

2383
02:07:54,200 --> 02:07:56,520
Speaker 12: actually raise it a little bit and hide the profit

2384
02:07:56,600 --> 02:07:59,360
Speaker 12: margin under the blame of inflation, then they're absolutely going

2385
02:07:59,400 --> 02:08:01,640
Speaker 12: to do that because we are the United States of

2386
02:08:01,680 --> 02:08:02,320
Speaker 12: profit margin.

2387
02:08:02,480 --> 02:08:05,600
Speaker 1: We are, indeed, and another reason you just chimed in

2388
02:08:05,640 --> 02:08:09,200
Speaker 1: there artificial intelligence versus so maybe a career in the trades,

2389
02:08:09,240 --> 02:08:13,880
Speaker 1: which I don't see artificial intelligence replacing anytime soon. Brian Nould.

2390
02:08:13,880 --> 02:08:17,040
Speaker 12: I would absolutely agree with that, and that's that kind

2391
02:08:17,040 --> 02:08:20,920
Speaker 12: of work and working with people healthcare, you know, in

2392
02:08:21,000 --> 02:08:23,760
Speaker 12: home care, those kinds of things, dealing helping people, aging,

2393
02:08:23,760 --> 02:08:26,080
Speaker 12: those kinds of things. I think where you are truly

2394
02:08:26,120 --> 02:08:29,480
Speaker 12: have a personal connection that is absolutely there's great opportunities

2395
02:08:29,480 --> 02:08:31,280
Speaker 12: there and that should not be overlooked. Maybe you had

2396
02:08:31,280 --> 02:08:33,320
Speaker 12: a dream of something larger, but be real careful and

2397
02:08:33,440 --> 02:08:36,080
Speaker 12: understand what artificial intelligence is going to be doing to

2398
02:08:36,120 --> 02:08:38,160
Speaker 12: a lot of different industries. Doesn't mean don't pursue it,

2399
02:08:38,400 --> 02:08:41,480
Speaker 12: but go in eyes wide open, Turkey dinner as an

2400
02:08:41,480 --> 02:08:43,440
Speaker 12: indicator of inflation, among other things. We're going to one

2401
02:08:43,480 --> 02:08:46,000
Speaker 12: more segment here with money, mondays Brian James, Brian hang On,

2402
02:08:46,080 --> 02:08:47,280
Speaker 12: get right back with you just a.

2403
02:08:47,240 --> 02:08:49,720
Speaker 3: Minute, fifty five KRC.

2404
02:08:49,920 --> 02:08:53,000
Speaker 1: Service to America. Just I have a thirty fifty five

2405
02:08:53,080 --> 02:08:56,520
Speaker 1: KRC DE talk station. Gots some love for the veterans

2406
02:08:56,560 --> 02:08:58,520
Speaker 1: coming your way. In the next segment, Carsee cares and

2407
02:08:58,600 --> 02:09:02,040
Speaker 1: it does. Chris clif got a couple of new outpatient clinics,

2408
02:09:02,040 --> 02:09:04,680
Speaker 1: a new ie center, and we'll find out about those locations,

2409
02:09:04,680 --> 02:09:06,760
Speaker 1: what they're offering and other things that the VA can do,

2410
02:09:06,880 --> 02:09:08,960
Speaker 1: and we'll do for the American veteran. God bless each

2411
02:09:09,000 --> 02:09:11,440
Speaker 1: and every one of them. Brian James flipping over to

2412
02:09:11,720 --> 02:09:13,720
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner, Donald Trump said it is gonna be twenty

2413
02:09:13,760 --> 02:09:17,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna be twenty five percent less this year. Some

2414
02:09:18,080 --> 02:09:21,040
Speaker 1: raising a John Desci of skepticism. Where are you on

2415
02:09:21,120 --> 02:09:24,640
Speaker 1: the realities of Thanksgiving? At least it doesn't usually involve beef.

2416
02:09:25,800 --> 02:09:26,240
Speaker 2: This is true.

2417
02:09:26,240 --> 02:09:28,520
Speaker 12: We can we can not talk about beef and eggs

2418
02:09:28,560 --> 02:09:30,560
Speaker 12: aren't the star of the show either this time around.

2419
02:09:30,600 --> 02:09:32,680
Speaker 12: So yeah, it's the time of year where we talk

2420
02:09:32,720 --> 02:09:34,440
Speaker 12: about how much it costs to lay out a table

2421
02:09:34,480 --> 02:09:36,920
Speaker 12: for your loved ones for Thanksgiving, And the survey we

2422
02:09:37,040 --> 02:09:40,280
Speaker 12: normally talk about comes from the Farm Bureau and.

2423
02:09:40,160 --> 02:09:41,120
Speaker 1: To me, that's the one that counts.

2424
02:09:41,120 --> 02:09:42,520
Speaker 12: If you're gonna look at data, you know, over a

2425
02:09:42,520 --> 02:09:43,880
Speaker 12: long period of time, it really kind of has to

2426
02:09:43,880 --> 02:09:45,440
Speaker 12: be the same data, or you're just kind of making

2427
02:09:45,480 --> 02:09:48,960
Speaker 12: stuff up. So the Farm Bureaus one is, this is

2428
02:09:49,000 --> 02:09:51,240
Speaker 12: forty years old now. In their estimate is that the

2429
02:09:51,440 --> 02:09:54,440
Speaker 12: Thanksgiving feast for ten will be about fifty five dollars

2430
02:09:54,480 --> 02:09:56,840
Speaker 12: and eighteen cents. For twenty twenty five, now that is

2431
02:09:56,880 --> 02:09:59,360
Speaker 12: about five percent lower than twenty twenty four. So I

2432
02:09:59,400 --> 02:10:02,760
Speaker 12: think it's fact to say that, yes, costs have declined,

2433
02:10:02,800 --> 02:10:05,080
Speaker 12: and this is the third straight year of declines after

2434
02:10:05,160 --> 02:10:09,120
Speaker 12: previous record highs. Go figure the Farm Bureau survey peaked

2435
02:10:09,120 --> 02:10:11,879
Speaker 12: about three years ago when we had crazy nine percent inflation.

2436
02:10:12,320 --> 02:10:14,880
Speaker 1: Well the way, didn't the bird flu have an impact

2437
02:10:14,960 --> 02:10:16,280
Speaker 1: on that as well, because all everything does.

2438
02:10:16,320 --> 02:10:18,680
Speaker 12: Yeah, the bird flu comes and goes. You know, we

2439
02:10:18,680 --> 02:10:20,840
Speaker 12: hear about it every few years. So absolutely that was there,

2440
02:10:20,880 --> 02:10:24,120
Speaker 12: plus just a cost of hauling cranberry goop across the

2441
02:10:24,200 --> 02:10:24,640
Speaker 12: you know, in.

2442
02:10:24,560 --> 02:10:28,760
Speaker 1: A truck coop. Maybe being a little cynical, but it

2443
02:10:28,840 --> 02:10:29,360
Speaker 1: is what it is.

2444
02:10:30,640 --> 02:10:33,080
Speaker 12: So we're contrasting that though with what you mentioned, which

2445
02:10:33,120 --> 02:10:35,400
Speaker 12: the White House wanted to latch onto a claim that

2446
02:10:35,640 --> 02:10:37,760
Speaker 12: the Thanksgiving dinner basket is going to be about twenty

2447
02:10:37,760 --> 02:10:40,440
Speaker 12: five percent less this year compared with last. Now, that's

2448
02:10:40,520 --> 02:10:43,040
Speaker 12: not untrue. They're not making it up. But what they're

2449
02:10:43,040 --> 02:10:47,560
Speaker 12: looking at is the promotional basket from Walmart, which at

2450
02:10:47,560 --> 02:10:50,720
Speaker 12: that point of that's forty bucks for ten people. Last

2451
02:10:50,800 --> 02:10:53,200
Speaker 12: year was about fifty six dollars for eight people. But

2452
02:10:53,680 --> 02:10:56,320
Speaker 12: that itself is not apples to apples. The Walmart twenty

2453
02:10:56,360 --> 02:10:59,200
Speaker 12: twenty five basket only had fifteen things in it. We're

2454
02:10:59,200 --> 02:11:01,000
Speaker 12: in twenty twenty four had twice as many.

2455
02:11:01,080 --> 02:11:03,200
Speaker 1: So there's laxflation.

2456
02:11:04,120 --> 02:11:06,080
Speaker 12: You can eat less for half the cost.

2457
02:11:06,280 --> 02:11:09,400
Speaker 1: It's in size basket. It's just got less stuff in

2458
02:11:09,920 --> 02:11:12,000
Speaker 1: Look at the size of the basket. Everybody focus on that.

2459
02:11:12,440 --> 02:11:15,480
Speaker 12: So you know, again it's not untrue that the costs

2460
02:11:15,560 --> 02:11:18,160
Speaker 12: have come down, but it is also not true that

2461
02:11:18,240 --> 02:11:19,839
Speaker 12: it came down twenty five percent.

2462
02:11:19,960 --> 02:11:22,000
Speaker 1: That's not a thing. Well, and you know you can't

2463
02:11:22,000 --> 02:11:24,200
Speaker 1: get things on sale. And here's a fun fact. It's

2464
02:11:24,240 --> 02:11:27,440
Speaker 1: a money tip for everybody who has a dog. Yams.

2465
02:11:27,760 --> 02:11:30,040
Speaker 1: Yams were like forty seven cents a pound, which is

2466
02:11:30,040 --> 02:11:32,400
Speaker 1: a significant drop from the normal price of yams. Plain

2467
02:11:32,520 --> 02:11:34,720
Speaker 1: old uncooked yams in a back. I think they were

2468
02:11:34,760 --> 02:11:37,160
Speaker 1: even maybe less than that. My wife bought like twenty pounds.

2469
02:11:37,160 --> 02:11:39,560
Speaker 1: Why because if you slice them up thin and you

2470
02:11:39,600 --> 02:11:42,360
Speaker 1: dehydrate them, the dogs love them. It is the most

2471
02:11:42,400 --> 02:11:44,920
Speaker 1: inexpensive dog treat you can buy. And your dogs will

2472
02:11:44,960 --> 02:11:48,600
Speaker 1: be happier eating the dehydrated crispy crunchy yams than they

2473
02:11:48,600 --> 02:11:53,320
Speaker 1: would anything you could buy from a manufacturer. Wholesome, nutritious,

2474
02:11:53,360 --> 02:11:56,040
Speaker 1: no preservatives, no additives. There's your money tip for the day,

2475
02:11:56,040 --> 02:11:57,240
Speaker 1: Brian James.

2476
02:11:56,960 --> 02:11:59,920
Speaker 12: And up thirty seven percent according to the Farm Bureau.

2477
02:12:00,040 --> 02:12:02,960
Speaker 12: Sweet potato spiked last year. So you're you're you're gonna

2478
02:12:03,000 --> 02:12:05,200
Speaker 12: need to kind of sacrifice some things. You want to

2479
02:12:05,240 --> 02:12:06,160
Speaker 12: keep that tradition going.

2480
02:12:08,120 --> 02:12:10,840
Speaker 1: Hate to burse your bubble sat Me Thanksgiving eighteen dollars

2481
02:12:10,880 --> 02:12:14,400
Speaker 1: a bag dog treats from the manufacturer. No thank you,

2482
02:12:14,480 --> 02:12:16,360
Speaker 1: no thank you. This makes us a great tip. Oh

2483
02:12:16,400 --> 02:12:19,880
Speaker 1: and I passed along to the youthful Sean McMahon who's

2484
02:12:19,920 --> 02:12:22,040
Speaker 1: covering the show for Joe's Tracker, And I wanted to

2485
02:12:22,040 --> 02:12:23,760
Speaker 1: ask you this because this is a point that came

2486
02:12:23,840 --> 02:12:25,680
Speaker 1: up back in the day. I basically thought them to

2487
02:12:25,680 --> 02:12:28,440
Speaker 1: Mary smart, right, I mean, if you got a good spouse,

2488
02:12:28,480 --> 02:12:30,560
Speaker 1: your life will be more stable. You're on the same

2489
02:12:30,600 --> 02:12:33,400
Speaker 1: page in terms of finances. It's easy for two incomes

2490
02:12:33,440 --> 02:12:36,320
Speaker 1: to afford than one, obviously, so getting married to me

2491
02:12:36,360 --> 02:12:41,560
Speaker 1: has always been a valuable thing from a financial stability standpoint.

2492
02:12:41,600 --> 02:12:43,840
Speaker 1: But Nathan and Ed used to say, you know, if

2493
02:12:43,880 --> 02:12:46,120
Speaker 1: you want to, you know, get a nice nested egg

2494
02:12:46,200 --> 02:12:48,760
Speaker 1: and be comfortable and happy in life, then get married,

2495
02:12:48,800 --> 02:12:51,840
Speaker 1: but never ever get divorced, because that'll send you the

2496
02:12:51,880 --> 02:12:54,680
Speaker 1: exact opposite direction. So ultimately you're left with the choice

2497
02:12:54,680 --> 02:12:57,400
Speaker 1: of making sure you find the right person up front

2498
02:12:57,560 --> 02:12:58,920
Speaker 1: or never get married.

2499
02:12:59,520 --> 02:13:02,280
Speaker 12: Yeah, that very much. You want to get that decision

2500
02:13:02,360 --> 02:13:04,440
Speaker 12: right to begin with. And it's a team sport from

2501
02:13:04,960 --> 02:13:06,720
Speaker 12: start to end. And I would throw out the most

2502
02:13:06,760 --> 02:13:09,920
Speaker 12: awkward client situations I have, or where maybe only one

2503
02:13:09,960 --> 02:13:11,760
Speaker 12: of the two will show up to a meeting where

2504
02:13:11,760 --> 02:13:14,560
Speaker 12: we review their finances. That means one person has absolutely

2505
02:13:14,600 --> 02:13:16,880
Speaker 12: no idea what's going on, and I just assume that

2506
02:13:16,880 --> 02:13:19,680
Speaker 12: there's little to no conversation. Those are the ones that

2507
02:13:19,720 --> 02:13:21,160
Speaker 12: I know I'm going to be coming back three, four

2508
02:13:21,200 --> 02:13:22,600
Speaker 12: or five years ago and we're going to be splitting

2509
02:13:22,640 --> 02:13:23,280
Speaker 12: up the assets.

2510
02:13:23,600 --> 02:13:25,840
Speaker 1: It's a shame to see that, or alternatively, try to

2511
02:13:25,880 --> 02:13:28,440
Speaker 1: be a little positive in it. The other person trusts

2512
02:13:28,480 --> 02:13:31,680
Speaker 1: the spouse so completely that he or she is making

2513
02:13:31,720 --> 02:13:34,240
Speaker 1: the right financial decisions, there's no need for the other

2514
02:13:34,280 --> 02:13:36,760
Speaker 1: person to show up, particularly if they're not interested in it.

2515
02:13:36,800 --> 02:13:39,960
Speaker 1: Although trust me, I see the pitfalls associated with that.

2516
02:13:40,080 --> 02:13:42,040
Speaker 12: Yes, that is true, and the pitfalls you're referring to

2517
02:13:42,200 --> 02:13:43,880
Speaker 12: is we don't get to call all of our shots

2518
02:13:43,880 --> 02:13:45,840
Speaker 12: in life one day. If you are the spouse who's

2519
02:13:45,840 --> 02:13:48,280
Speaker 12: been trusting, then that's great, except you may need to

2520
02:13:48,280 --> 02:13:48,960
Speaker 12: make the decisions.

2521
02:13:49,000 --> 02:13:50,840
Speaker 1: You've got to have an idea roughly of.

2522
02:13:50,760 --> 02:13:52,880
Speaker 12: Where things are or who the advisor is that's going

2523
02:13:52,920 --> 02:13:54,320
Speaker 12: to help you through it, at least be able to

2524
02:13:54,320 --> 02:13:55,160
Speaker 12: pick them out of a crowd.

2525
02:13:55,240 --> 02:13:57,040
Speaker 1: And I would argue most people are not capable of

2526
02:13:57,120 --> 02:13:59,480
Speaker 1: going through that exercise, which is exactly why you need

2527
02:13:59,480 --> 02:14:02,520
Speaker 1: to help of a financial planner who has a fiduciary

2528
02:14:02,560 --> 02:14:05,640
Speaker 1: obligation to you. And that's what Brian does each and

2529
02:14:05,640 --> 02:14:07,080
Speaker 1: every day. And I appreciate you coming to the show

2530
02:14:07,080 --> 02:14:09,680
Speaker 1: every Monday and indulging me with my ramblings Brian James,

2531
02:14:09,720 --> 02:14:12,080
Speaker 1: but also passing along some great information will do this

2532
02:14:12,120 --> 02:14:14,760
Speaker 1: again next Monday, and again Happy Thanksgiving to you and

2533
02:14:14,760 --> 02:14:16,240
Speaker 1: the family and everybody at all Worth and.

2534
02:14:16,200 --> 02:14:19,440
Speaker 12: I appreciate you tolerating my ramblings. Thank you for that opportunity,

2535
02:14:19,480 --> 02:14:20,640
Speaker 12: and we will talk to you next week.

2536
02:14:20,760 --> 02:14:22,760
Speaker 1: Mutual exchange of ideas, that's what it's all about. Here

2537
02:14:22,800 --> 02:14:24,680
Speaker 1: on the fifty five KRC Morning Show eight thirty five.

2538

02:14:26,920 --> 02:14:29,760
Speaker 1: help him out. Krsee care segment with Chris Kluk from

2540

2541
02:14:32,320 --> 02:14:33,320
Speaker 1: hope you can stick around.

2542
02:14:33,920 --> 02:14:37,240
Speaker 6: This is fifty five KARC an iHeartRadio station.

2543
02:14:40,080 --> 02:14:42,960
Speaker 1: It's eight thirty eight. Here fifty five KRS the talk station.

2544
02:14:43,440 --> 02:14:45,800
Speaker 1: Please to welcome fifty five KRSE Morning Show from the

2545
02:14:45,840 --> 02:14:48,760
Speaker 1: CINCINNTI DA. Chris Kluk also a veteran himself. He served

2546
02:14:48,760 --> 02:14:50,520
Speaker 1: between O three and oh seven in the US Army

2547
02:14:50,560 --> 02:14:52,560
Speaker 1: on hundred and first Airborne. It was getting some interesting

2548
02:14:52,560 --> 02:14:55,760
Speaker 1: stories from him. Was there for the Saddam Hussein trial,

2549
02:14:55,840 --> 02:15:03,320
Speaker 1: but also involved in combat operations overseas. Yeah, here, move

2550
02:15:03,360 --> 02:15:05,520
Speaker 1: that mic up there, you go right into that. He's

2551
02:15:05,560 --> 02:15:07,640
Speaker 1: on four there, Sean. Make sure you got a number

2552
02:15:07,680 --> 02:15:10,760
Speaker 1: four on Anyhow, I can't thank you enough for your service.

2553
02:15:10,840 --> 02:15:14,920
Speaker 1: And as I was talking with you about that, I mentioned,

2554
02:15:15,520 --> 02:15:17,320
Speaker 1: since we're talking about the VA and the benefits you

2555
02:15:17,360 --> 02:15:18,760
Speaker 1: have to offer there, and we're gonna talk about the

2556
02:15:18,800 --> 02:15:21,080
Speaker 1: new outpatient centers and the iclinic, which are a great

2557
02:15:21,120 --> 02:15:24,839
Speaker 1: development for the VA. But I said that something effecting.

2558
02:15:24,960 --> 02:15:28,440
Speaker 1: I think I understand post traumatic stress disorder or just

2559
02:15:28,440 --> 02:15:30,280
Speaker 1: post traumatic stress is well I like to call it.

2560
02:15:30,320 --> 02:15:31,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a disorder. I think it's just

2561
02:15:31,680 --> 02:15:35,040
Speaker 1: a reality if you've got to get up every day

2562
02:15:35,240 --> 02:15:39,040
Speaker 1: at a moment's notice and go around kicking indoors where

2563
02:15:39,080 --> 02:15:41,840
Speaker 1: there are in many cases terrorists behind them waiting to

2564
02:15:41,840 --> 02:15:43,840
Speaker 1: start shooting at you. And I've heard enough stories from

2565
02:15:44,160 --> 02:15:47,040
Speaker 1: men that did this, you know, kicking indoors of Falluja's

2566
02:15:47,080 --> 02:15:49,160
Speaker 1: what I used to kind of call it, stories about

2567
02:15:49,160 --> 02:15:52,200
Speaker 1: guys getting shot at with anti aircraft guns from underneath

2568
02:15:52,280 --> 02:15:54,640
Speaker 1: the floor right when they walk in. And then you

2569
02:15:54,680 --> 02:15:56,480
Speaker 1: got to do it again. Once you leave that place,

2570
02:15:56,520 --> 02:15:58,480
Speaker 1: clear that place, you move down the road, do it again,

2571
02:15:58,520 --> 02:15:59,920
Speaker 1: do it again, do it again. Get up the next

2572
02:16:00,080 --> 02:16:02,320
Speaker 1: they do the same damn thing. The weight of that

2573
02:16:02,640 --> 02:16:06,160
Speaker 1: on your melon has got to be overwhelming, the idea

2574
02:16:06,160 --> 02:16:09,440
Speaker 1: that you have that much adrenaline flowing at all times.

2575
02:16:09,640 --> 02:16:12,240
Speaker 1: It's just how do you go back to normal if

2576
02:16:12,240 --> 02:16:14,400
Speaker 1: you can even call what we're living in this world normal.

2577
02:16:14,960 --> 02:16:17,640
Speaker 1: I think that's the issue. And I didn't have the issue.

2578
02:16:17,640 --> 02:16:20,400
Speaker 13: Like while you're over there, going through that experience is

2579
02:16:20,440 --> 02:16:22,360
Speaker 13: one thing, like you don't really think about it.

2580
02:16:22,360 --> 02:16:23,839
Speaker 1: It's just your day to day life.

2581
02:16:24,240 --> 02:16:26,760
Speaker 13: But once you get home and not adrenaline stuff, that's

2582
02:16:26,880 --> 02:16:29,360
Speaker 13: that's where the PTSD kicks in and you start to

2583
02:16:29,400 --> 02:16:31,280
Speaker 13: think about it, like all that.

2584
02:16:31,200 --> 02:16:31,800
Speaker 1: Type of stuff.

2585
02:16:31,800 --> 02:16:34,320
Speaker 13: And yeah, mental health is the most important thing, and

2586
02:16:34,360 --> 02:16:37,039
Speaker 13: I think talking about it is the most helpful thing.

2587
02:16:37,080 --> 02:16:39,440
Speaker 13: That's what's helped me over the years. And the VA

2588
02:16:39,520 --> 02:16:44,160
Speaker 13: has a phenomenal mental health program, and I encourage all

2589
02:16:44,320 --> 02:16:47,240
Speaker 13: veterans to come in and just if you even need

2590
02:16:47,280 --> 02:16:48,200
Speaker 13: somebody to talk to.

2591
02:16:48,640 --> 02:16:50,240
Speaker 1: You don't have to go through the full program.

2592
02:16:50,360 --> 02:16:52,000
Speaker 13: Just come in and talk to somebody if that's going

2593
02:16:52,080 --> 02:16:54,760
Speaker 13: to help you or someone in your family exactly.

2594
02:16:54,840 --> 02:16:58,240
Speaker 1: And that's fundamentally really the reason I brought it up,

2595
02:16:58,240 --> 02:17:00,320
Speaker 1: because you know, over the years, I've learned about all

2596
02:17:00,320 --> 02:17:03,119
Speaker 1: the programs you have and who knows better about that

2597
02:17:03,240 --> 02:17:06,240
Speaker 1: type of scenario, the scenario the American veteran deals with

2598
02:17:06,920 --> 02:17:10,520
Speaker 1: after service than the American veterans and the folks of

2599
02:17:10,560 --> 02:17:10,880
Speaker 1: the VA.

2600
02:17:11,120 --> 02:17:14,280
Speaker 13: Yeah, the VA has some like the best mental health

2601
02:17:14,320 --> 02:17:18,240
Speaker 13: care program in the world because that's the majority of

2602
02:17:18,280 --> 02:17:21,120
Speaker 13: our patients that we see, and so we've recruited the best,

2603
02:17:21,200 --> 02:17:23,480
Speaker 13: do the best research, and come up with the best

2604
02:17:23,480 --> 02:17:24,840
Speaker 13: solutions to help our veterans.

2605
02:17:24,920 --> 02:17:27,279
Speaker 1: And you do every single day. And I was so

2606
02:17:27,280 --> 02:17:29,360
Speaker 1: so sad to learn that how many men did you

2607
02:17:29,440 --> 02:17:32,520
Speaker 1: have in your in your was it platoon? In our platoon?

2608
02:17:32,840 --> 02:17:34,600
Speaker 13: I don't know the exact number, but I would say

2609
02:17:34,600 --> 02:17:37,679
Speaker 13: it was roughly thirty five thirty six guys in our platoon.

2610
02:17:37,480 --> 02:17:39,360
Speaker 1: And fast forward to right now. You know, six of

2611
02:17:39,400 --> 02:17:42,160
Speaker 1: them committed suicide. Six of them committed suicides. We can't

2612
02:17:42,200 --> 02:17:44,840
Speaker 1: let that happen. You know, every veteran out there, I'm

2613
02:17:44,840 --> 02:17:47,000
Speaker 1: sure has at least someone in their world who has

2614
02:17:47,040 --> 02:17:49,560
Speaker 1: close connection with them, knows how they are, can see

2615
02:17:49,600 --> 02:17:52,879
Speaker 1: these signs of perhaps mental stress and maybe steer them

2616
02:17:52,879 --> 02:17:54,600
Speaker 1: in the right direction, get them signed up for the

2617
02:17:54,680 --> 02:17:57,480
Speaker 1: VA benefits. D two to fourteen discharge is all you're

2618
02:17:57,480 --> 02:17:57,960
Speaker 1: gonna need.

2619
02:17:58,160 --> 02:18:01,039
Speaker 13: Yeah, just talk to them, ask them if they need help,

2620
02:18:01,200 --> 02:18:02,640
Speaker 13: ask them if they want somebody to talk to you,

2621
02:18:02,840 --> 02:18:04,360
Speaker 13: even if they don't want to go to the VA,

2622
02:18:04,800 --> 02:18:06,880
Speaker 13: ask them if they'd like to talk to you personally.

2623
02:18:07,040 --> 02:18:09,360
Speaker 1: Well, just let them get whatever they need to off

2624
02:18:09,360 --> 02:18:11,160
Speaker 1: their chests. And a shout out over to my friends

2625
02:18:11,160 --> 02:18:13,920
Speaker 1: at Patriots Landing in northern Kentucky. It's the wood shop.

2626
02:18:14,000 --> 02:18:17,280
Speaker 1: They make these wonderful craft products, but they serve as

2627
02:18:17,400 --> 02:18:21,040
Speaker 1: exactly that that lifeline for connection among the American veterans.

2628
02:18:21,040 --> 02:18:23,640
Speaker 1: They go, they commiserate together. It gives them a safe space,

2629
02:18:23,680 --> 02:18:26,080
Speaker 1: they can talk about their trials and tribulations, what's on

2630
02:18:26,120 --> 02:18:28,600
Speaker 1: their mind, and it benefits everybody. Yeah, I know Pete

2631
02:18:28,640 --> 02:18:31,080
Speaker 1: over there, that's a great program. It is really an

2632
02:18:31,120 --> 02:18:34,240
Speaker 1: awesome program. So Patriots Landing folks, all right. Didn't mean

2633
02:18:34,280 --> 02:18:35,920
Speaker 1: to take you down that road right out of the gate, Chris,

2634
02:18:35,959 --> 02:18:37,640
Speaker 1: but I thought was really important to bring it up.

2635
02:18:38,040 --> 02:18:40,200
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people struggle with depression and

2636
02:18:40,520 --> 02:18:44,200
Speaker 1: sadness around the holidays too. Stating the Auvius, Now, what

2637
02:18:44,400 --> 02:18:46,760
Speaker 1: is going on the VA. I hear you're in the

2638
02:18:46,800 --> 02:18:49,920
Speaker 1: process of relocating the two outpatient clinics as well as

2639
02:18:49,920 --> 02:18:53,039
Speaker 1: the Eye Center. What's this all about? Yeah, the Eye.

2640
02:18:52,840 --> 02:18:58,440
Speaker 13: Center is we're supposed to have a new opening that

2641
02:18:58,560 --> 02:19:01,840
Speaker 13: is now slated for December twenty sixth of this year

2642
02:19:02,040 --> 02:19:06,520
Speaker 13: at twenty ninety Florence Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio four five two

2643
02:19:06,640 --> 02:19:09,840
Speaker 13: zero six. And now that's going to have optometrists to

2644
02:19:10,000 --> 02:19:17,759
Speaker 13: just offer routine nine exams, preventing, preventative screening, glaucoma. Ophthalmologists

2645
02:19:17,840 --> 02:19:21,320
Speaker 13: can diagnose and provide medical and surgical care for conditions

2646
02:19:21,320 --> 02:19:24,880
Speaker 13: like cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration.

2647
02:19:25,400 --> 02:19:26,200
Speaker 1: And a lot more.

2648
02:19:27,400 --> 02:19:31,519
Speaker 13: That center is also going to offer general optomet optometry

2649
02:19:31,560 --> 02:19:35,760
Speaker 13: and ophtalmology, low vision and traumatic brain injury services to

2650
02:19:35,840 --> 02:19:41,600
Speaker 13: go into the mental health, contact lenses, retina and cornea services,

2651
02:19:41,760 --> 02:19:46,000
Speaker 13: medical surgical glaucoma. I mean, I've taken a tour of

2652
02:19:46,080 --> 02:19:49,880
Speaker 13: this facility. It's more than doubled the footprint of the

2653
02:19:49,920 --> 02:19:51,920
Speaker 13: old one. They're going to offer a lot more and

2654
02:19:51,959 --> 02:19:55,320
Speaker 13: it's we're looking forward to this place opening now. Are

2655
02:19:55,360 --> 02:19:58,640
Speaker 13: these vision services is just a new feature for being

2656
02:19:59,080 --> 02:20:01,480
Speaker 13: a first sighting for VA benefits or have you always

2657
02:20:01,520 --> 02:20:04,440
Speaker 13: done it? Just outgrew the demand the space. Yeah, We've

2658
02:20:04,480 --> 02:20:08,560
Speaker 13: always offered it. We've just outgrown the space because we recently,

2659
02:20:08,600 --> 02:20:10,879
Speaker 13: I would say over the past two and a half years,

2660
02:20:11,879 --> 02:20:14,440
Speaker 13: our veteran population of the VA has gone from forty

2661
02:20:14,480 --> 02:20:18,040
Speaker 13: three to close to fifty thousand people. So veterans are

2662
02:20:18,080 --> 02:20:20,720
Speaker 13: recognizing the care we offer it the VA and they're

2663
02:20:20,760 --> 02:20:21,480
Speaker 13: starting to come in.

2664
02:20:21,760 --> 02:20:23,920
Speaker 1: I am so glad to just play a tiny little

2665
02:20:23,959 --> 02:20:26,560
Speaker 1: part in that, Chris, I really am, because I listened

2666
02:20:26,560 --> 02:20:29,520
Speaker 1: when I remember when Bob McDonald was running things. They

2667
02:20:29,520 --> 02:20:31,960
Speaker 1: couldn't keep appointments and people were they felt like they

2668
02:20:31,959 --> 02:20:34,240
Speaker 1: were getting the backstab. You know, I served my country

2669
02:20:34,280 --> 02:20:36,760
Speaker 1: and look at how I'm being treated. Boy, it's just

2670
02:20:36,879 --> 02:20:38,119
Speaker 1: dramatically turned around.

2671
02:20:38,200 --> 02:20:40,160
Speaker 13: Yeah, things have really changed in the VIA over the

2672
02:20:40,200 --> 02:20:42,560
Speaker 13: last I would say five to ten years. I mean

2673
02:20:42,680 --> 02:20:45,280
Speaker 13: even for the CINCINNATIVA and the last I would say,

2674
02:20:45,280 --> 02:20:47,240
Speaker 13: if you haven't been to the CINCINNTIV in the last

2675
02:20:47,400 --> 02:20:49,680
Speaker 13: nine months, you should come in and check us out

2676
02:20:49,680 --> 02:20:53,880
Speaker 13: because we have just revamped the whole VA. It's new everything.

2677
02:20:53,920 --> 02:20:56,640
Speaker 13: We're building a new primary care center in there. It's

2678
02:20:56,720 --> 02:21:00,360
Speaker 13: just we've we've gone far and above to try and

2679
02:21:00,400 --> 02:21:05,160
Speaker 13: create the best space for veterans to feel the most comfortable.

2680
02:21:04,720 --> 02:21:07,760
Speaker 1: Giving them what they deserve. Yep, exactly. Chris Klube will

2681
02:21:07,760 --> 02:21:09,840
Speaker 1: continue right after these brief words. Don't go away.

2682
02:21:10,720 --> 02:21:13,600

Speaker 1: some updates and what's available there. And thank you to

2694
02:21:47,640 --> 02:21:50,760
Speaker 1: all those folks at the CINCINNIVA serving the American veterans

2695
02:21:50,760 --> 02:21:53,120
Speaker 1: and doing such a great job with it. Chris, you

2696
02:21:53,160 --> 02:21:55,840
Speaker 1: had met, you were talking about the Vision program, lots

2697
02:21:55,840 --> 02:21:57,879
Speaker 1: of services. I want to double down on the glau

2698
02:21:57,959 --> 02:22:01,600
Speaker 1: coma thing because he's Brian Thomas Glaucoma head of surgery

2699
02:22:01,600 --> 02:22:04,120
Speaker 1: for that, it'll make you go blind. And do you

2700
02:22:04,200 --> 02:22:06,320
Speaker 1: have high eye pressure right now? If you haven't seen

2701
02:22:06,320 --> 02:22:08,840
Speaker 1: a doctor, do you know the answer is no, you don't.

2702
02:22:09,160 --> 02:22:10,760
Speaker 1: It's not something you can feel. Do you want to

2703
02:22:10,800 --> 02:22:11,240
Speaker 1: go blind?

2704
02:22:11,240 --> 02:22:11,280
Speaker 2: No?

2705
02:22:11,480 --> 02:22:13,680
Speaker 1: So this is great because a lot of people don't

2706
02:22:13,680 --> 02:22:15,240
Speaker 1: take care of their vision. They just kind of let

2707
02:22:15,240 --> 02:22:18,080
Speaker 1: it go. Yeah, something pesky could be lurking behind the scenes,

2708
02:22:18,120 --> 02:22:21,200
Speaker 1: like glaucol something serious happens and then brother, so let's

2709
02:22:21,240 --> 02:22:24,520
Speaker 1: double down on that and a freebie. Yeah the VA.

2710
02:22:24,680 --> 02:22:27,840
Speaker 13: If you, I would say, the majority of veterans that

2711
02:22:27,959 --> 02:22:30,879
Speaker 13: use our I Center, we'll qualify for free eyeglasses as well.

2712
02:22:31,000 --> 02:22:34,000
Speaker 13: So come into business check it out. I mean, what's

2713
02:22:34,000 --> 02:22:35,720
Speaker 13: the worst that could happen? You get to walk away

2714
02:22:35,720 --> 02:22:39,039
Speaker 13: with a pair of free glasses. But also hearing aids

2715
02:22:39,040 --> 02:22:41,520
Speaker 13: that's something else. Hearing a's are also free through the

2716
02:22:41,600 --> 02:22:44,240
Speaker 13: VIA as well. So if you're at home and you

2717
02:22:44,240 --> 02:22:47,000
Speaker 13: know your husband or wife is spending seven thousand dollars

2718
02:22:47,040 --> 02:22:48,640
Speaker 13: on hearing aids, check us out at the VA.

2719
02:22:48,680 --> 02:22:50,560
Speaker 1: See if you can't get them for free. That's why

2720
02:22:50,600 --> 02:22:52,280
Speaker 1: you serve for that little bit of money. While you

2721
02:22:52,320 --> 02:22:54,800
Speaker 1: were there getting all these extra benefits, so take advantage

2722
02:22:54,840 --> 02:23:01,280
Speaker 1: of them. Pivoting back over to oh, telehealth. I asked

2723
02:23:01,280 --> 02:23:03,680
Speaker 1: you off air about the mental health services that you

2724
02:23:03,760 --> 02:23:06,680
Speaker 1: offer at the VA. Obviously very popular and thankfully so.

2725
02:23:06,800 --> 02:23:09,560
Speaker 1: But you do telehealth with mental mental health?

2726
02:23:09,720 --> 02:23:13,039
Speaker 13: Yeah, we telehealth since COVID has become extremely big through

2727
02:23:13,080 --> 02:23:17,240
Speaker 13: the VIA and the majority of our veterans that see us,

2728
02:23:17,280 --> 02:23:19,320
Speaker 13: a lot of them want to see like for mental health,

2729
02:23:19,560 --> 02:23:21,280
Speaker 13: want to do telehealth. They don't want to come down

2730
02:23:21,320 --> 02:23:24,480

02:24:34,200 --> 02:24:36,440
Speaker 1: Able to serve even more veterans. You know, I'm glad

2756
02:24:36,440 --> 02:24:39,920
Speaker 1: you have a nutrition program. I say, we want to

2757
02:24:40,080 --> 02:24:43,240
Speaker 1: about OURFK Junior. I think at least he is bringing

2758
02:24:43,240 --> 02:24:46,520
Speaker 1: it to our attention the importance of diet and nutrition

2759
02:24:46,600 --> 02:24:48,080
Speaker 1: and how much of an impact it has on our

2760
02:24:48,120 --> 02:24:50,120
Speaker 1: overall health. I mean, if you want to stay the

2761
02:24:50,120 --> 02:24:52,240
Speaker 1: hell away from a doctor, really focus on what you're

2762
02:24:52,280 --> 02:24:55,000
Speaker 1: putting in your bodies, what it boils down to anymore, Yeah, for.

2763
02:24:55,040 --> 02:24:57,960
Speaker 13: Sure, especially around this time. You know, with New Year's

2764
02:24:57,959 --> 02:25:01,080
Speaker 13: coming up, everybody wants to lose some way and all

2765
02:25:01,120 --> 02:25:06,920
Speaker 13: that's you know, it is the worst the food. Yeah,

2766
02:25:06,920 --> 02:25:09,160
Speaker 13: but if that's something you're interested in doing going into

2767
02:25:09,160 --> 02:25:10,760
Speaker 13: the new year, you know, you don't have to buy

2768
02:25:10,760 --> 02:25:13,280

Speaker 1: That's griest thing to come talk to one of us.

2773
02:25:21,959 --> 02:25:23,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people out in the world that

2774
02:25:23,200 --> 02:25:26,000
Speaker 1: are charging for that service, a lot of money for that. Yeah,

2775
02:25:26,000 --> 02:25:28,800
Speaker 1: I'm so good good nutrition as well. All right, now,

2776
02:25:28,879 --> 02:25:30,720
Speaker 1: let's make it easy. There's a lot of veterans out

2777
02:25:30,720 --> 02:25:32,720

02:25:43,680 --> 02:25:45,800
Speaker 1: county that also will help to the extent you run

2783
02:25:45,800 --> 02:25:48,800
Speaker 1: at any difficulties. But in the final analysis, you can

2784

Speaker 1: do it. It's pretty easy to do. Generally, it's super easy.

02:26:17,120 --> 02:26:20,640

2811
02:27:02,760 --> 02:27:05,360
Speaker 1: You must bring it to their attention. To do that,

2812
02:27:05,440 --> 02:27:08,320
