Speaker 1: very happy Monday to you. Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

Speaker 1: Hey go Bengals. That work out for us. All we

00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,000

Speaker 1: be okay. Apparently not anyhow, Hope you enjoyed your day

9

Speaker 1: of football yesterday and feel free to call me this morning.

10
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: Got something to talk about, man, I'll tell you what.

11
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: Chalk up another win for Donald Trump going on in

12
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: the with the red tentative tentative resolution, the situation between

13
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: Hamas and Israel. That's the living hostages free this morning,

14
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of celebration going on. A lot

15
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: of people really very thankful that the ceasefires at least

16
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: in place for now. Hostage is being released. They're busily

17
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: trying to find the dead hostages, which is a real

18
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: strange thing for me. In any event, I got to

19
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: talk about that just a moment here. We got a

20
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 1: great show line down thanks to Joe Strecker, Executi producer.

21
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: I hope you had a good weekend, Joe. Christopher Smithman

22
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: coming up at seven twenty, I'm going to get him

23
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: to respond to this. This keep mag at a Cincinnati

24
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: crap that I have to have parwalls floating around. Joe,

25
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: do you've believe this to be a sign of concern

26
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: from the Parvoll campaign or do you think it's just

27
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: typical efforts to fundraise. Probably a mixed bag of both.

28
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: Yet I haven't seen any polling to really know. All

29
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: we have is early voting, which Republicans have a bit

30
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: of an advantage in downtown CINCINNTI is early voting, and

31
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: it is early voting, So get out and cast your vote.

32
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: How Unkindy Board of Elections, check the hours of operation,

33
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: make sure you cast your vote. And of course Christopher

34
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: will tell you when he comes on at seven. Only

35
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: vote for the candidates you really want elected. Don't fill

36
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: in all nine council don't put a vote in for

37
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: all nine council members. And of course I hope you

38
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: choose Corey Bowman. But anyway, keep MAGA out of Cincinnati,

39
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: real leuct have to have Pervall And he goes on

40
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: and on about you know, we have to protect what

41
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: we've accomplished. Don't undo what we've achieved together. And I

42
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: love this one. My opponent, Comma, you know what's next?

43
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: Of course JD Vance's brother, which is why it flies

44
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: under the moniker keep MAGA out of Cincinnati. As if

45
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman represents Donald Trump or JD Vance. He has

46
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: a name, it's Corey Bowman, not Jade Vance's brother. Didn't

47
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: put half brother in there anyway. I love this my opponent.

48
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: Jdvance's brother has already put us on the national stage.

49
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: And it's back by billionaires whose only goal is to

50
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: reverse our hard won victories for their own game. All right, Okay,

51
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: on and on. He keeps referring to what they have

52
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: accomplished under his administration. The hard run victory is that

53
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: they've accomplished what are they beatdowns in July. That's what

54
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: I was thinking of, Joe, because what puts Cincinnati on

55
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: the national stage was all of its great accomplishments under

56
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: the Purval regime. No, I don't think so. It was

57
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: Holly getting punched in the face and Sarah Heringer's husband

58
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: getting killed in their own apartment, where we find out

59
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: that you can cut off an ankle monitor and no

60
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: one will be looking after you or looking for you

61
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: after you've cut your ankle monitor off. Not exactly a

62
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: gold Star award winning reality that one. So, if anything's

63
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: been putting us on the national stage, I don't think

64
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: it's idea that Corey Bowman is running for mayor. I

65
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: do believe it's uh, well, a bit of a negative

66
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: image on the city of Cincinnati. Yeah, a couple of

67
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: the beatdowns in the national reporting on Holly and the

68
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: terrible situation unfolding the end of July and that beat down.

69
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: Add that to it the well Bengals record. Yeah, we're

70
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: on the national stage all right, but not for some

71
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: positive things Anyway, Christopher, I'm sure we'll mention the election.

72
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: He might address that. I'm gonna see if he will,

73
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna ask him about it. That's a seven twenty,

74
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: follow by money money of Brian James Tariff's up interest

75
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: on debt topping one trillion dollars and Doge didn't do much.

76
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: We'll also get an update on so is the security

77
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: plus credit unions versus banks? That conversation, or rather the

78
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: interest in that distinction brought up by the mysterious group

79
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: of ladies. As we found out Brian James and I

80
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: that listens intently to Brian James every Monday, Monday. Good morning, ladies,

81
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: if you're listening right now. What else is going on?

82
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: Eric Trump? That's right, Eric Trump? That Eric Trump, Donald

83
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: Trump's Son's written a new book Under Siege. Eric's gonna

84
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: be on the program at eight forty. We'll talk about

85
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: that together, and I'm looking forward to that, and I

86
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: hope you are as well. Five one, three, seven, four,

87
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three

88
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: taco pound five fifty on AT and T phones.

89
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 3: And yes, our long away.

90
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: To return of the twenty hostages that are still alive

91
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: in Gaza underway this morning as I was coming in.

92
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: Everybody's happy those hostages have been returned. I guess Red

93
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: Cross got them first and I did a health check

94
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: on them. But the families are obviously elated. World leaders

95
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: are very excited about the developments that are going on,

96
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump's actually getting credit for it, much to

97
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: the chagrin of the lefties who apparently refused to open

98
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: the government up. Yes, that's right, who's done something and

99
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: who's done nothing? Look at four years of the Biden

100
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: administration of what he was able to accomplish, if you

101
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: can find anything, and then look at the first all

102
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: ten months of the Trump administration. Remarkable distinction between the

103
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: accomplishments of one and the other. Amazing. Now, I'm a

104
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: little reluctant to call this an overall success because these

105
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: things have fallen apart before and I've got a little,

106
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: you know, sort of the side story on this. But

107
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: what's this current situation right now? All the hostages that

108
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: are held are going to be released, plus the dead ones,

109
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: So bodies of about twenty eight hostages who died or

110
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: have are to be handed over later. They suggest it

111
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: could be a drawing out process because Hamas has already

112
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: told everybody, including the mediators in Israel, that it doesn't

113
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: know the location of some of the diseased hostages. They

114
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: have a multinational task force now being set up helped

115
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: find the missing remains wherever they happen to be. Once

116
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: those hostages are released by Hamas, Israel then will release

117
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty Palestinians that are in Israeli prisons,

118
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: as well as seventeen hundred Palestinians who've been detained in

119
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: Gaza during the conflict. Some of them pretty bad people.

120
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: One big name prisoner identified specifically Marwan Barghouti, ben in

121
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: jail in Israel over his role in the Palestinian uprising

122
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: in the early two thousand. So just a whole bunch

123
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: of them, a lot of them very dangerous people. But

124
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: if you return them to a defeated, depleted, perhaps disarmed Hamas,

125
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: what can they do? It's a good question. Now we

126
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: have US troops arriving in israelis past Thursday, about two

127
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: hundred of them to support the ceasefire and to be

128
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: part of it, I guess, being formed in a national

129
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: team that's supposed to provide the implementation of the ceasefire

130
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: while they transition into a civilian government. Troops also will

131
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: help facilitate the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza, which

132
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: I understand has started already, making people very happy. Starving

133
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: people are very happy when the humanitarian aid finally can

134
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: get through, maybe without Hamas intercepting it and taking it

135
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: for themselves. So celebrations are upting in Gaza and Tel Aviv.

136
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: Mediators and civilians both sides holding their breath to see

137
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: if the ceasefire will hold again, noting that these things

138
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: have well fallen apart and give away to renewed fighting

139
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: in Gaza. Oh, look, renewed fighting in Gaza. Here's where

140
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: I think this is quite revealing the complexity of the problem.

141
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: Revealed yesterday dozens dead in Gaza after violent fighting within

142
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: hours of the release of the hostages. So we got

143
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: to sign sealed agreement the twenty point plan, with obviously

144
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: some hills and humps and speed bumps to iron out,

145
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: but so it's announced. Clashes between local militias came ahead

146
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: of the television a televised address for Benjaminett and Yahoo

147
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: talking about the imminent release of the hostages. Wait a minute,

148
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: what are they fighting over? Well, it's because they're not

149
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: a well oiled, all organized machine. You have militias in

150
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: various areas. Some of them are like pro Hamas, some

151
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: of them are sometimes pro Hamas. Some of them probably

152
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: don't want a peace agreement with the Israelis, some of

153
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: them want to continue fighting. They're fighting amongst themselves now

154
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: reminds me of Monty Python Life of Brian with splitter organizations.

155
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: They can't agree accepted what the People's Front of Judea

156
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: was the unified enemy of all of these splitter groups,

157
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: right Joe. Or is it the Popular Front or was

158
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: it the campaign for Free Galilee. I get them all

159
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: mixed up. That's kind of thing that's going on right now.

160
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: Court of Reports at Israel. The violence in Gaza erupted

161
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: when Hamas militants raided the neighborhood of Sabran, Gaza City,

162
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: home to a clan referred to as the dagh Mush,

163
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: reports Mas Interior Ministry and accused the militia of hacking

164
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: its forces, while members of the dog Bush clan said

165
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: Hamas had exploited the ceasefire to target them over alleged

166
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: cooperation with Israel. Fighting amongst themselves. Local news reported fifty

167
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: two members of the Dogmush clan were killed. Twelve Amas

168
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: militants also killed. Say amid the bloodshed, three anti Hamas

169
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: militias publicly declared their support for Trump's peace proposal and

170
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: rejecting Hamasa's authority in the Gaza Strip. So we may

171
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: see a day when Hamasa's authority in the Gaza Strip

172
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:24,599
Speaker 1: has been quick completely removed, And this negotiated settlement requires,

173
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: at least from Israel's perspective, Hamas to disarm, and I

174
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: think Hamasa's it's got a cold water do reality thrown

175
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: on it. In spite of the pro Palestinian protesters which

176
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: are all over the streets of various US cities with

177
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: a little hint of pro Hamas built in there, I

178
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: think the international community is not on Hamasa's side. World

179
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: leaders from all over praising the peace deal as we

180
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: move forward, hopefully worrying about a lasting resolution of the

181
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: pain that has been Gaza so for how many decades now?

182
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: Five sixteen fifty five KRC DE Talk station. Feel free

183
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,120

Speaker 1: five nineteen Monday. Like it or not, it is five

Speaker 1: one three, seven fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two

190
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: three talk five five fifty on eight T and T

191
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: punds now not in the stack is stupid, but maybe

192
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 1: it should be. Considering the subject matter of the back

193
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: and forth between Paris Morgan and Zach Polanski, who's the

194
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: Green Party leader expressing and revealing the bat crap in

195
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: sanity to the left and one of the reasons and

196
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: I I can't remember who I talked to last week

197
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: about the growing majority of young people, young most notably

198
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: young men, returning to faith, returning to you know, core values,

199
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: returning to more conservative leanings. I gus specifically why that

200
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: might be and suggested perhaps maybe the day the left

201
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: went off the rails was when they started telling you

202
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: that you couldn't disagree with their interpretation of what it

203
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: means to be a man or a woman, which according

204
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: to the left, is a self individual saying I am

205
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: who I am, and you must acknowledge that and accept it.

206
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas, I'm a guy, right, Okay, I can look

207
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: down and prove that I know that it's scientific fact.

208
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: If I did it looking at my chromosomes, I'd know

209
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: that X and Y are in my bodys because men

210
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: have X and Y, women have accent and ax. Aha,

211
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: pure plain, simple fact fact fact. Somewhere somewhere along the

212
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: lines of the left one completely off the blank and rails

213
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: dying you the biological reality and as I always point out.

214
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: I don't care. Just don't suggest that you can force

215
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: me to adopt your viewpoint. There's never gonna be to

216
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 1: day when that can happen. But they want everybody to

217
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 1: adopt their viewpoint. We live in this we gotta be

218
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: quiet world. You must use the appropriate gender pronouns, even

219
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: though they're all made up. And you can look down

220
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: and see very clearly that that well person claiming to

221
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: be a woman's got the whole twig and berrys things

222
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: going on, so you don't even know do a chromosomal

223
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: analysis analysis of it. Right back to Piers Morgan Zach Plancy,

224
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: Green Party leader. I don't know how they got down

225
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: this road, but Morgan pressed them on whether a woman

226
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: can have a penis? This is where this I mean

227
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 1: that this conversation, even it was a serious conversation, that

228
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: it even took place, rewind fifteen years ago or how

229
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: wherever wait, and by pulling into a moment in time,

230
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 1: the left adopted this backcrap in saint philosophy. And if

231
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: you said out loud, can a woman have a penis?

232
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: The whole world would have erupted in laughter, like what

233
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: that's even a thing? Apparently it definitely is now the

234
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: Green Party leader. In response, can a woman have a penis? Yes,

235
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: he said, and endeavor to institute a bit of humor

236
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: regard to the National Health Service. Yes, it's going to

237
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: take them a long time on the National Health Service

238
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: to get rid of it, suggesting like the National Health

239
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: Service paying for the gender transition surgery, where it gets

240
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: lopped off and replaced by something artificially created. He noted,

241
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: but that's a separate problem, Morgan trying to conclude the

242
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: issues that I think we'll leave it on. A woman

243
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: can have a penis, according to the Green Party leader.

244
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: Plasky respond tried to push him back, saying he lacked

245
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: nuance and complexity on this complicated issue. Is it complicated?

246
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: You're laughing at it, which I think demeans trans people.

247
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: He thinks mister Planski has a subjective opinion on behalf

248
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: of trans people. He just articulated it anyway, Morgan retorted,

249
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: I think it's an absolutely ridiculous response, Amen, peers. Plaski

250
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: then demanded, well, what if you got against trans people,

251
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: why are you punching down? Why are you not saying

252
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: the real problem? It sounds like you have a huge

253
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: problem with trans people. This is how they try to,

254
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, engage a bit of subterfuge. No, that's not

255
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: what Piers Morgan saying. He doesn't have anything against him.

256
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: It's just whether or not women can have a penis,

257
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: and the answer is definitively no. A court of the

258
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: the UK Supreme Court has already issued a decision on this.

259
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: United Kingdom's highest court there right unanimously decided in the

260
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: case for Women's Scotland Limited versus the Scottish Ministers that

261
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: sex under their version of what Title nine or whatever

262
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: title we've got, it's the Equity Act of twenty ten

263
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: refers to. According to the Supreme Court, biological sex at birth,

264
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: not gender identity arly have a gender recognition certificate. You

265
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: can claim one of these if you believe yourself to

266
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: have turned into the opposite sex. They'll issue one of those,

267
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: which says you're a sex that you weren't born with.

268
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: But according to the Supreme Court, this g RC does

269
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: not trump reality. Your biological sex that birth determines whether

270
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: you're a man or a woman. Right, Pulaski believes he

271
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: is smarter than the United Kingdom's Supreme Court. Uh, Morgan,

272
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: there's not a cat in hell's chance of you ever

273
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: becoming a prime minister if you don't know what a

274
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: woman is. Morgan interjecting what is described as a sarcastic jab,

275
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: why don't you go out tomorrow with your big campaign

276
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: that women can have penises? See how you get on

277
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: when people see you say to me, women have a penis?

278
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: See how it plays out? Right? Pulansky to accused more

279
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: going of trying to divert attention for more pressing issues

280
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: like can we talk about inequality? Can we talk about

281
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: something other than this? Because you're embarrassing me. I've made

282
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: a fool of myself. Basically, Pierce said, yeah, you're a

283
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: fast emerging politician in this country. I'm perfectly entitled to

284
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: ask you what you believe, and you have been crystal clear.

285
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: Isn't this great? Plansky? People are not worried about the

286
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: trans people. Let's have a conversation about women's right, but

287
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 1: let's not talk about trans women, especially Morgan. Will not

288
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: let it go. You said women have penises, and then

289
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: Pulanski tries to clarify, saying, well, if a woman is transitioning,

290
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: then they can have a penis until someone lops it off,

291
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: I guess. Morgan then called it complete barber streisand not

292
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: his phrase mind because of the SCC. Plansky then said,

293
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: since when are you a doctor or an expert in

294
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: women's rights or UK science. That's when Morgan put it

295
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: out with the Supreme Court there said hey, the UK

296
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: Supreme Court has made at Crystal Claire what a woman is.

297
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: Then Plansky suggested it wasn't the Supreme Court's job to

298
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: do that. Morgan says, well, to lay down the law

299
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: of the land, so you know more than the Supreme Court.

300
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: And of course Polanski said, yes, I actually in this case,

301
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: I do. Okay, sure you do. Is that the hill

302
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: you want to die on? Is that the one? Maybe?

303
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: It is five twenty seven fifty five krc DE Talk

304
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,479

Speaker 1: three talk local stories or phone calls are will either way.

306
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: I'd be right back.

Speaker 5: So it's it's pretty cool. Yeah. If I didn't if

00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 5: I didn't work this weekend, I wouldn't have broke as

321
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:27,520

322
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, and it's my weekend officially begins on

00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: Friday morning at nine when the microphone goes off. I

324
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: got great, a great day on the rifle and pistol

325
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: range with my daughter and her fiance, just an outstall day.

326
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 5: That's cold, little family bonding.

327
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, expensive day. I will point out.

328
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: I think I put five hundred rounds a nine millimeter

329
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: through my new handgun just to gott me used to it,

330
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: and you know, among other firearms that we shot that day.

331
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 5: So now I know you've you've waxed eloquently about your

332
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 5: future son in law there and uh talk good about

333
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 5: him and all that, But was there was there any

334
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 5: anything in there about hey son? What's what I could

335
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 5: do with this gun oh that going on.

336
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: He's he's quite aware.

337
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 5: That's already been set in stone already, right, yeah.

338
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, well a long time ago. But he and he

339
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: and I see eye to eye on the whole second

340
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: amend of concept. So that's one of the reasons why

341
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: I approve of them so much.

342
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh good, all right, well you're yeah, you're bringing

343
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 5: up some topics this morning and more proof about how

344
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 5: crazy the left is. And yeah, they they pushed the

345
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 5: limits and I I believe there's something sinister behind all this,

346
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 5: but it's just I mean, even if you don't want

347
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 5: to go that far, it's just common sense stuff. And

348
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 5: it's not because it's tradition, these things that we believe

349
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 5: that you know, men are or women and one can't

350
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 5: become the other, and yeah, it's it's it's not because

351
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 5: we believed it for so long. We believed it for

352
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 5: so long because it's true.

353
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, okay, a chicken egg thing. Okay, So yeah,

354
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: religion does talk about men and women, you know. Okay,

355
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: but what came first the science of the X and

356
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: the Y, the double X, the reality that men and

357
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: women exist separately. The one has a twigging of areas. O.

358
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: It is not that men need to have sex with

359
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: you know, women. There has to be an egg and

360
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: there has to be uh, you know, there's firm to

361
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: make children. All of that preceded like, for example, Christianity,

362
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: it preceded the God of Abraham. It preceded literally everything,

363
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: go back to the dawn of mankind. Religion developed on

364
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: top of the science adopting the it's I mean, there

365
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: was no argument about it. It's just the simple fact

366
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: of nature and reality. Of course it got incorporated into

367
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: the religious text.

368
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 5: Yes, and of course it has become incorporated into common

369
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 5: every day lingo. And this we accept it because it's true,

370
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 5: not because we just accept it. There are things that

371
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 5: get accepted over time which we realize, you know what,

372
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 5: maybe this is such a good idea. But they're going

373
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 5: after stuff that is that's just based truth. And because

374
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 5: what you're dealing with is a side that operates with lies.

375
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 5: They lie about virtually everything they talk about. What they're after,

376
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 5: what they're trying to accomplish.

377
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: It's the very Porwellian ministry of truth. Two and two

378
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: is not four and damn it. We are going to

379
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: pound it into your head until we're blue in the face.

380
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: We're going to brainwash you into believing that two and

381
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: two is whatever the state says it is. Right. There

382
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: isn't a man or a woman. It's whatever we say

383
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: it is. We the state, that's it. There is no

384
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: religion to trump what the state has to say.

385
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 5: That's you know, Thank god, thank god our forefathers set

386
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 5: up a government that allows us to be able to

387
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 5: stand up against this stuff and do something about it.

388
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 5: And when we see people on one side just killing

389
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 5: too far off the rails, as you say, we can,

390
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 5: we can replace them. And that's exactly what we need

391
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 5: to do more and more. We need to replace people

392
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 5: who are doing all this crazy stuff and trying to

393
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 5: take us down a road that we don't have any

394
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 5: business going down. We need to stay as best we

395
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 5: can in line with the truth and reality, and so

396
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 5: that means we need to get rid of the rhinos.

397
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 5: Don't vote for them, and of course, don't vote Democrat.

398
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 5: Have a great day with.

399
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: Thanks Tom, all's a pleasure here from you. You can

Speaker 1: Talk station. Always enjoy hearing from listeners, So we're going

404
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,479
Speaker 1: to turn to the phones right now before I get

405
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: to the stack of stupid, beginning with Hey, Jay, thanks

406
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: for calling Happy Monday to you.

407
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 6: Hey, Happy Monday, Brian Hey wanted to put a call

408
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 6: out to the listening audience that this past weekend I

409
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 6: finally got off off my butt and decided to go

410
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 6: sign the petition to end property tax in Ohio to

411
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 6: get it on the ballot or I believe November next year, right,

412
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 6: And so I called a couple buddies in the neighborhood

413
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 6: and friends, and I think we had five of us

414
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 6: show up, but I got to tell you I wish

415
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 6: and then I got some petitions and walk them around

416
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 6: the neighborhood. I was shocked to find out very smart,

417
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 6: capable people really had no idea about this, and so

418
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 6: that really kind of got me going. And I think

419
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 6: we maybe got fifteen signatures ready to go. I would

420
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 6: encourage everybody, do not think that somebody else is going

421
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 6: to do it. Do not believe that everybody knows about this.

422
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,959
Speaker 6: So if you can like minded people in your neighborhood,

423
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 6: we are in the final push here as Ohiolans that

424
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 6: are just getting slammed with these property taxes. There's no

425
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 6: end in sight, so now is the time to go

426
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 6: out and get it done. And the thing that scares

427
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 6: me the most when I hear voices on the right

428
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 6: and not necessarily you, Brian, but a friends in my

429
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 6: in my own group, they start talking about well, what

430
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 6: concerns me is, well, you know what are they going

431
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 6: to replace it with?

432
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 7: Well?

433
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 6: Nothing? If if I had eight to ten thousand dollars

434
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 6: that goes into my pocket for property tax I no

435
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 6: longer have to pay. I suppose I can make all

436
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 6: kinds of educational decision for my children that I otherwise

437
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 6: couldn't make, as far as private schools or homeschooling. That

438
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 6: pays for a lot of homeschooling. We homeschooled, it was

439
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 6: about a one thousand to fifteen hundred dollars a year.

440
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 6: If I get ten thousand dollars, that pretty much pays

441
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 6: the full vote for you know, eight to ten years.

442
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 6: So I don't need them again to replace it with anything.

443
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 6: What I need them to do is spend a whole

444
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 6: lot less money, especially when you take a look at

445
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 6: state's adjacent to us again. Pennsylvania annual budget of forty

446
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 6: five billion dollars and has a one trillion dollar one

447
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 6: hundred million dollars greater GDP in Ohio forty five billion dollars.

448
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 6: We're at one hundred and twenty billion. I think they

449
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 6: have enough, so we don't need to replace it with anything.

450
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 6: They just need to spend a hell of a lot

451
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 6: less money and figure it out. So whatever you do,

452
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 6: don't vote right on and don't vote, don't vote Democrat.

453
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 6: Did Tom miss it today? By the way, I didn't

454
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 6: hear him say that tagline?

455
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 1: He did. He said it at the end. All us

456
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: right with the world? Jay, He's on record, and so

457
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: are you. In addition to that recommendation, also sign a petition.

458
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: Let's see what happens. Get your popcorn out and watch

459
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: it all unfold. And I'm glad it's going to be

460
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: on the ballot in next November. Is this year is well.

461
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the reaction from the well elected

462
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: officials in Columbus on how they plan on dealing with

463
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,000

472
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: Hampton didn't thank her for holding the door open, triggering

473
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: an argument. Simpson and her daughter went into their car

474
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: drove to Pet Smart, which was in the same plaza

475

Speaker 1: all for not saying thank you, Okay, we got to Toledo, Ohio.

492
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: They were accused of breaking into the hum of a

493
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: person she knows and cutting his testicle. Do what he

494
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: turned herself into Judge Friday facing a judge this past

495
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: Friday morning court show. Janny and Jenneta Hoppings, who's forty

496
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: five from Toledo, had her warrant cleared on Friday morning

497
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: when she appeared in court and charges of folonius assault

498
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: and aggravated burglary. A court of the charging record. She

499
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: kicked the door open to the victims Toledo home came

500
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: in without permission. Victim told investigators that he heard someone

501
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: break in and ran downstairs to see who it was.

502
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: He did not have any clothes on when he ran down.

503
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: After David alleges this Hoppings assaulted the man by cutting

504
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: his testicle sack with an unknown instrument, causing it to

505
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: be in the words of the report, clearly exposed as

506
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: the result of the laceration.

507
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 5: Just away.

508
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: She was released on her own recognizance after the court appearance,

509
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: placed on electronic monitoring. Yeah, we all know how that

510
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: works out. The judge ordered to have no contact with

511
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: the victim. Well, not Hamilton County, but it does sound

512
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: remarkably similar to an outcome coming from a Hamilton County judge.

513
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: Good the talk station, It's five fifty coming up at

00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: a one million dollar bond. What do what? Judge was

528
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: in front of after prosecutors say he shot a woman

529
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: in the chest during a card game. This happened to

530
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: win in him bills. October fifth, police called a King's

531
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: Run court about quarter to eleven in the evening when

532
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: they discovered twenty three year old Rachel Counts dead at

533
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: the scene. Officers the next morning arrested in charge twenty

534
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: three year old o'marian Horn with her murder in court.

535
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: October tenth. Prosecutor say Counts, Horn and other friends gathered

536
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: at a home on King's Run. They were playing cards

537
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: when Horn pulled out a revolver. Prosecutor said Horn removed

538
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: all the bullets but one and said let's play rush

539
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: and rule that while he'd only be a bigger idiot

540
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: if he used a semi automatic, Joe Horn poned the

541
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: gun and it Counts then pulled the trigger, single bullet

542
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: and the gun fired, hitting her in the chest and

543
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: killing Herron. Prosecutors read the allegations against him, Horn began

544
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: to cry in court. Judge Allen Triggs agreed with prosecutors

545
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: that a high bond was warranted and said Horn used

546
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: a firearm as if it were a toy. It certainly isn't,

547
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: noted Judge Triggs, stating the obvious defense attorney had requested

548
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars bond, telling the judge the shooting

549
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: was not intentional, and then horneh had no criminal history,

550
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: no juvenile record, insignificant ties to the community. That argument

551
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: obviously did not prevail. Here we go to Florida as

552
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: this tradition. Florida man hit with federal charges. He allegedly

553
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,239
Speaker 1: stole seven thousand dollars in scratch off lottery tickets from

554
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: a convenience store and then showed up to the same

555
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: convenience store mere hours later for the purpose of redeeming

556
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: the scratch offs. What forty three year old Justin Farley.

557
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: He pulled into Saint Petersburg Circle K beginning of May

558
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: and opened multiple cabinets, took and he taking the scratch

559
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: off lottery tickets and then fleeing the scene in his

560
00:32:54,440 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: Sunday a Lantra. Forty minutes later, Farley arrived in an

561
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: Area seven eleven to redeem seven thousand dollars worth of

562
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: scratch offs You're dumbass. After an unsuccessful attempt, the idiot

563
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: returned to the same circle K and tried to cash

564
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: in on seven ticket books that he had stolen from

565
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: the store. That failed again. I guess two separate stores

566
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't redeem them for him. He left and returned to

567
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: the circle K minutes later, only to come up empty

568
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: handed a third time. Finalley then drove back to the

569
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: seven to eleven and a black mass yellow shirt, black

570
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: nikes and pointed a replica glock at the clerk, demanded

571
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: the staff or opened up the cash register, successfully stealing

572
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty dollars from the register before escorting

573
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: the clerk to the back of the store and taking

574
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: a pack of Newport's cigarettes. Of course, lots of evidence

575
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: his license plate plus surveillance footage all led police to

576
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: pull him over and book him on commercial burglary and

577
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: grand theft charges. After his arrest, Fairley told the cops

578
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: that he needed money while getting rine.

579
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 5: Who can argue with that.

580
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: He did admit to committing the Circle K and seven

581
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: to eleven robbery and a recorded interview with police Farley

582

Speaker 1: and died to by Tampa grand jury. Charged with a

583
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: charge federally now faces a kind of interference with commerce

584
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: by threat or violence, a federal charge against under the

585
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,720
Speaker 1: or rather under the Hobbs Act, and that prohibits robbery

586

618
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: took at the outset. It's such a sad, sad state

619
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: of affairs that only twenty remain alive. They've been released

620
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: by all reports, and the twenty eight hostages which they

621
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: say have dead, which are still held by Hamas someplace

622
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: can't be located. Hamas has already explained to folks, mediators

623
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: and the other officials that are riding heard over this

624
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: ceasefire that Israel they don't know the locations of some

625
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: of the deceased hostages, resulting in the formation of a

626
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: multinational task force to try to find them missing remains.

627
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: So a lot of families are anxiously awaiting to return

628
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: of the remains and Israel's releasing a lot of currently

629
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: captive Palestinians two hundred and fifty in Israeli prisons. There

630
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: were seventeen hundred Palestinians detained in Gaza. Those will all

631
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: be released after the remains and the well the twenty

632
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: hostages that are living are secure. So I think that

633
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: latter part has already happened as this morning and again

634
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,280
Speaker 1: huge celebration and world leaders and many from the Middle

635
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 1: East praising Donald Trump and his efforts to bring about

636
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 1: this peace agreement, and everybody is aware there's a lot

637
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: of details and the devil's always in the details. Will

638
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: Hamas disarmed, that's an outstanding question. Twenty point proposal said

639
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: they have to. And as I read this morning, Jimas

640
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: isn't apparently in control of all these various militias. And

641
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: it was reported that yesterday there was fighting among some

642
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: of these militias in Gaza. So different sects and factions

643
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: beneath the loose Hamas Umbroa, and some of them are

644
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 1: busily shooting at each other. So a lot of problems

645
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: to iron out. Ceasefire has gone into effect. There was

646
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: much rejoicing over that US troops have shown up. They

647
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 1: showed up last Thursday, two hundred of them who are

648
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: going to support the ceasefire and be part of an

649
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: international team that is I believe yet to be formed.

650
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: There's going to be folks from various different countries again

651
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: presiding over the peace deal and the reformation of Gaza

652
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: in whatever format comes out on the other side. So

653
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: again celebrations erupting in Gaza and Tel Aviv. You've got

654
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: all sides happy about this ceasefire. No more bloodshed let's

655
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: see here humanitarian aid already flowing into Gaza. Apparently the

656
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: Egyptian Read Cross sent four hundred trucks containing nine thousand

657
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: tons of humanitarian aid in Gaza. Israel officials put have

658
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: six hundred trucks carrying aid that have already entered Gaza. Food,

659
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: flower fuel, medicine supplies like tents, blankets, and mobile bathrooms,

660
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 1: much needed stuff for those poor Gozzans Palestinians. I should

661
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: point out precise details though remain unclear now this big

662
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 1: issues are days ahead, getting Israel and Hamas to agree

663
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 1: on the exact lines for Israel's military withdrawal. Hamas wants

664
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: Israel out of about seventy percent of Gaza in return

665
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: for the release of the hostages. Israel wants to vacate

666
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,760
Speaker 1: less territory in the two sides still negotiating that detail.

667
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: And of course the critical detail for me is is

668
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: a mosqueing to disarm and the Rafa crossing with Egypt open.

669
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 1: That's long been a source of a problem because Egypt

670
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: said it would not allow the flow of humanity into

671
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 1: its countries. So that's one more detail that got ironed out.

672
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: And you add this development to what Trump was able

673
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: to accomplish during his first term in the Abraham Accords.

674
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to be overly optimistic, and

675
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: how can you be, given the history of the various

676
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: factions and the fighting among the various countries and the

677
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: religious divisions that exist. But a note of optimism I've

678
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: never felt, I suppose, in my life about negotiating peace

679
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 1: with the Middle East. There was Carter administration was successful

680
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 1: with regard to Egypt. We know how that turned out

681
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: for the president of Egypt at the time. Yes, blown

682
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: up by an assassin, But these countries seemed to want

683
00:40:55,920 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: to I mean, they put aside their religious differences. They

684
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: all have a vested interest in their own gross domestic

685
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: product to secure some form of peace. How many resources

686
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: have been thrown by these various Arab countries into military

687
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: into you know, acquiring weapons and bombs, and actual loss

688
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: of human life fighting amongst themselves a lot. Hmmm. Gee,

689
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: if we could just play nicely together, think of how

690
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: great it would be. We wouldn't have to worry about

691
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: each other. We decided that we're going to take a

692
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: peaceful approach of this for the benefit of everybody. Yeah, okay,

693
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: you're a different religion. You're a different sact among the

694
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 1: broader categories of religion. All right, you know what, We're

695
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: just going to ignore that crap. Could we see peace

696
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 1: in the Middle East in our lifetime? At least we're

697
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: a step closer things to well, I suppose to some

698
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 1: degree Donald Trump's willingness to exercise and flex his military muscle.

699
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: What Arab country could not take into account, well, the

700
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: United States response to Iran and dropping those bunk or

701
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: buster bombs on the Iranian nuclear facility, blowing into Hellan

702
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: back and setting back their nuclear weapons acquisition operation. How

703
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: long has it been set back depends on what's talking

704
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: head you listen to, but it has been set back significantly.

705
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: Make a note of it, and I'm sure the Arab

706
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: countries have made a note of it, and maybe even

707
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: Hamas took that into account. Of course, the United States

708
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: led Israel free to go after and pursue Hamas in

709
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: any way, shape or form it it saw to. And

710
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: what was Donald Trump's final warning before the peace agreement

711
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: was reached, before Hamas decided to say, yep, we're going

712
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: to sign on to this, even though we don't know

713
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: all the details. We're a little reluctant about this whole

714
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: disarming thing. But they're getting well slaughtered. I suppose there's

715
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,720
Speaker 1: the word I could use by the Israeli defense forces

716
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: in Gaza. They're losing ground every single day. Yes, the

717
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: conditions for the human for the you know, the civilian

718
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 1: population have been catastrophic, you know, the collateral damage of war.

719
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,280
Speaker 1: But if you're making inroads and you're busily killing hamas

720
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: leaders and they're always announced the you know, leader of

721
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: a mass, the most recent leader of a mosas, the

722
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: man who has just designated as leader of a mass

723
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: ends up getting blown up. And you factor into that

724
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: the United States obvious willingness, in spite of a lack

725
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: of congressional authorization, to make big military strikes in places

726
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: like your on I think you realize you got a

727
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: problem on your hands. And to my final point on that,

728
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: Donald Trump said all hell was going to be unleashed

729
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: if a Moss didn't sit down at the table and

730
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: agree to this flexing his military might. If you're Amas,

731
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: do you think he's serious about it? Is this one

732
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 1: of those fake Barack Obama lines in the sand that

733
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: he ignores when the line in the sand has been crossed. No,

734
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 1: I think the message got out. Donald Trump puts a

735
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: line in the sand. I think he means it. We

736
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 1: might want to consider this peace thing. It's not going

737
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: real well for us, and the world rejoices six fifteen

Speaker 1: He'll join the program today at eight forty to talk

751
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: about under siege. Looking forward to that, and I hope

752
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: you are as well. Uh, mass layoffs had begun well,

753
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: the government's still shut down. Donald Trump promised to do

754
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 1: this and Donald Trump delivering on yet another promise. Oh,

755
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 1: I'm shocked that the White House has started to cut

756
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: jobs and they're largely focused on Democrat priority shocking.

757
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 7: No One.

758
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: White House said on Friday it started la mass layoffs

759
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: because of the government shutdown. White House Office Management Budget

760
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 1: Director Russell Vault. Are the riffs have begun, he said,

761
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: He's new one b had. He characterizes the retrenchments as substantial.

762
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: Thousands of federal workers are going to be losing their jobs.

763
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 1: President Trump from the Oval Office said it will be

764
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: a lot, and it will be Democrat oriented. They started

765
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: this thing. So far, more than four thousand employees across

766
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: the federal government issued layoff notices. Department of Health and

767
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: Human Services, Energy and Homeland Security, Education, Treasury, Commerce, Housing

768
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: and Urban Development all taken some hits. More than eleven

769
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,280
Speaker 1: hundred workers at Health and Human Services multiple different divisions,

770
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 1: got the reduction enforced notices on Friday. Some who lost

771
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: their jobs over the weekend deemed quote at odds with

772
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: the Trump administrations make them America Healthy Again agenda. That

773
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 1: statement from Andrew Nixon, a spokesman for that department. Now

774
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: it's noted over and over and over again in the

775
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: reporting that previously during shutdowns. Layoffs have not been part

776
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 1: of the resolution. And of course there's already lawsuits filed.

777
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 1: Got some senators, Democrat senators saying that reductions in force

778
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 1: are not a new power to these bozos get in

779
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:33,320
Speaker 1: a shutdown. We can't be intimidated by these crooks. Patty Murray,

780
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: Senator said, And of course there are going to I

781
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 1: mentioned illegal challenges. Also, the White House has previously cut

782
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: funding for democratic run states and cities. Omb put on

783
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: a hold on eighteen billion dollars going to New York

784
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,760
Speaker 1: City for infrastructure work. City of Chicago, well two point

785
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: one billion dollars was allocated. There has been well cut

786
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: off and the moves described to impose pain on Democrats

787
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: and their programs. And why not use the shutdown to

788
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 1: engage in this. We'll find out from the courts whether

789
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: or not it's lawful and legal. But I always go

790
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: back to the fact that you know, the rest of

791
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 1: us out here in the real world face this kind

792
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: of like issue every day. We're all subject to get

793
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: in the acts. Everybody, is your job going to be

794
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: impacted by artificial intelligence? Can your job be saved in

795
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: the face of artificial intelligence?

796
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 4: Maybe not.

797
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: Are you gonna be upset if you get laid off,

798
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: of course, but nobody's gonna weep for you, and nobody's

799
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 1: gonna run into court saying I'm sorry, you can't fire

800
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 1: this person spite of the fact that this artificial intelligence

801
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: has rendered their job to be pointless. I doubt that

802
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: a court of law is going to entertain that argument.

803
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: How is it then it works for the federal government employees.

804
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: Do they have extra protections? I know they've unionized with

805
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 1: their in line. Part of the challenge of getting ridy

806
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: and rid of and right sizing a government that just

807
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:06,919
Speaker 1: grows and rows and grows every single year. And going

808
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: back to something that Brian James is going to talk about,

809
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:13,320
Speaker 1: our interest payment on the National Bet has exceeded a

810
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: trillion dollars. We've got mandatory spending programs that takes up

811
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: to I guess two thirds of all the government outlays.

812
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 1: But there is a third out there that apparently is

813
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: not mandatory, which means it's discretionary, which means maybe there's

814
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: some areas of government we can resize. How many times

815
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: has your business gone through a reorganization to stream line,

816
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 1: to get rid of the fat quite often middle management

817
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: of the ones that are the target of these reorgs.

818
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,280
Speaker 1: When I was over at Anton, Blue Cross and Blue Shield,

819
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: I think I went through three of them and lots

820
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: of people lost jobs. And I'm sure they've gone through

821
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 1: more of those since then. I've seen countless articles about

822
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: reorganizations and private corporations with thousands of people, quite often

823
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: in the tech sector, losing their jobs. They're not guaranteed employment.

824
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,280
Speaker 1: And the reason the private sector does that is because

825
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 1: they realize they have inefficiencies. And when your goal is

826
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 1: profit and improving your bottom line, quite often a duty

827
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,280
Speaker 1: that's a fiduciary duty owed by the board of directors

828
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:22,760
Speaker 1: to you, the shareholder, that has to happen. Why doesn't

829
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: it happen in government? Don't we want the most, the

830
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 1: leanest and most efficient government we can. This is our

831
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: money that keeps it going. And you know, I'm sorry.

832
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 1: The thirty seven trillion and growing national debt shows that

833
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 1: it's way too big. Six twenty five, I know state

834
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,359
Speaker 1: in the obvious local stories coming up absent phone calls,

835
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: We're going to go with local stories. I want to

836
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 1: first go with USA Instilation, this talk station. It's six

854
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 7: They don't check any cars. And you say like that,

855
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 7: let alone the stabbings and the couple shootings we had

856
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 7: over the weekend.

857
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,320
Speaker 1: Well, according to a have tab provol and his re

858
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:53,359
Speaker 1: election for mayor materials our safety is under attack by

859
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 1: MAGA bullies. Bobby, didn you realize you were safe down there?

860
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: And that if we went with Corey Bowman, who apparently

861
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: has been designated as a member of MAGA by AFTAB

862
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: pro Ball, he might get in touch in control of

863
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 1: the things, and this safety that we're enjoying right now

864
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,959
Speaker 1: might be torn apart. According to AFTAB pro.

865
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 7: Ball, I wouldn't listen to one word Man said.

866
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 1: No, I'm not listening to him. I'm not believing him.

867
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm just using the phrasing of his own words against

868
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: him because it doesn't make any damn sense. We're gonna

869
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: be talking about this out at the top of there

870
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:32,479
Speaker 1: news before we get to Christopher Smithman. Thank you brother,

871
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 1: Thank you, Bobby. Have a great day. Oh and there's

872
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 1: a glock article out of a California Maybe I'll get

873
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 1: a chance to take a look at it. Since you

874
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:45,720
Speaker 1: are a fellow Second Amendment fan exercising that right. Keviner

875
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 1: Newsom just signed a law banning the sale of new

876
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 1: glock pistols, the most ubiquitous handgun around. He's got an

877
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:58,399
Speaker 1: interesting and bizarre reason for claiming he has the right

878
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 1: to ban them. Just get your popcorn out wait for

879
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: the litigation that will ensue. Councilman Greendale, Indiana arrested on

Speaker 1: penning his first court appearance. Trust in public officials, It

893
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 1: is a funny kind of a funny article in these

894
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 1: I guess you see dot edu reporting on their website,

895
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: but they did a price index on inflation on our

896
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 1: local called local favorites, iconic brands, specifically like Skyline Chili. Hey, Joe,

897
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: do you ever you e to go grocery shopping? You

898
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: ever pay attention to the cost of a can of

899
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: Skyline Chili in these inflationary times? Not really. That's one

900
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 1: of the ones I kind of keep an eye on.

901
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: Oh my god, mind blowingly expensive compared to what it

902
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: used to be just a couple of years ago. I

903
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: guess price of beef has dramatically increased the cost of

904
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 1: Skyline Chili. That's one of the ones that was identified

905
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: in this You See Enquirer Price Index. They track costs

906
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: the thirty local goods, and they have since the spring

907
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty three. There's a professor Rashimi Advol who

908
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: follows this. He said, overall trend is up for most

909
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: items on the list. Prices are finally beginning to bite

910
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:03,799
Speaker 1: and showing over increase. Latest data shows prices for certain

911
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: items that Skyline the Roses are well catching up to

912
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: or out pacing inflation. So this you See enquire Price

913
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: Index with these thirty specific local favorites jumped nine point

914
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: nine percent since twenty twenty three. The national average of

915

00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: threatening injuries, one per sadly pronounced dat and arrival. Officers

927
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: say that two others were then flowing to Miami Valley Hospital,

928
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 1: where one person later died. Other person remains in critical condition.

929
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: Please say they do not believe speed and impairment played

930
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,800
Speaker 1: a factor in the crash, at least presently. It is

931
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 1: still under investigation, but if you have information, I guess

932
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: Middletown Division to police, the folks to call Sergeant Rogers

933
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:27,879
Speaker 1: specifically six point thirty five right now, a fifty five

934
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: KRCD talk station and something you want to do before

935
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 1: the winter time. I mentioned USA's phone getting ahead of

936
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 1: wintertime on that, but how about your chimney Chimney Care

937
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:40,280
Speaker 1: fireplace in Stow Now is the best RCD talk station.

938
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 1: I can't wait to talk to Christopher Smithman about after

939
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 1: Purvoll's latest effort. I don't know if he's worried or not.

940
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 1: His materials are just side splittingly funny. He doesn't even

941
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,319
Speaker 1: refer to Cory Bowman. He refers to his opponent JD

942
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 1: Vance's brother, of course, and then keeps going Maga magam

943
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: magham mega, maga macamega as if that has any impact

944
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:04,800
Speaker 1: on Corey Bowman or what he has envisioned for the

945
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati. If you don't leave my boiled down

946
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 1: recitation along those lines, listen to what he has to say.

947
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,399
Speaker 1: Go to my podcast page fifty five Carecy dot com

948
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 1: and feel free to call me like Tom did. Tom.

949
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning show and a very happy Monday

950
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:17,800
Speaker 1: to you.

951
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 8: Hey, good morning, Brian. How are you.

952
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. I hope you can say the same.

953
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 8: I can thank you a great show today. Thank you sir,

954
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 8: I just thought it was I just thought it was

955
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 8: funny and very interesting about the whole mayorial race right now.

956
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 8: A group that I belong to in Madisonville, we have

957
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,800
Speaker 8: been reporting potholes as a quality of life issue and

958
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 8: a lot of other things besides that. But lately I

959
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 8: have not had to report a pothole in over thirty days.

960
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 8: All the potholes are repaired.

961
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 1: Interesting, and they tell you.

962
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 8: They tell you that when you called that. They don't

963
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 8: send people out to look for potholes anymore. They rely

964
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 8: on the public to do this. But I have not

965
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,760
Speaker 8: had to report one in over thirty days. It's probably

966
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 8: more like forty forty five. I thought that was very unusual.

967
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 1: You think this has anything at all to do with

968
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 1: the upcoming election?

969
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,320
Speaker 8: Oh, I'm not sure about that.

970
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 1: Has anybody dropped the dime on and reported Sunset Avenue

971
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 1: my favorite illustration, deteriorating road.

972
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 8: I hear you, I hear you talk about that all

973
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 8: the time.

974
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 1: Something you know, somedaytime they're going to fix it, and

975
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 1: then I won't have that to complain about it anymore.

976
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 1: I don't know why it has been fixed. It has

977
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 1: looked like that for years and years and years. There's

978
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 1: gotta be a reason for it.

979
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 8: The real because maybe it's because the city doesn't listen

980
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 8: to you.

981
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 1: Well, true, repair them, but so many people have to

982
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: break down. You do the same, Tom appreciate that going back. Yeah, progress, Hey,

983
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: that's some of the progress that after that probably gonna

984
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 1: hang his out on. Now you had to wait for

985
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: it until the month before the election, but hey, look

986
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: you had a month without having to report a pothod

987
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:58,439
Speaker 1: a bottle in your neighborhood. What how has the years

988
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: got the attention and real quick care. I just want

989
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:01,920
Speaker 1: to let you know about something. You know, we have

990
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 1: Keith Tenfeld and George Brownman on on the on the

991
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 1: the Health episode, we spend an hour talking about health trends.

992
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: He got Maha movement in RFK Junior and a lot

993
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 1: of people starting to really pay attention to consider what

994
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 1: they're eating. And we've taken a go at that. In

995
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 1: my house preservatives and additives. Now ever since I won

996
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 1: on my diet the whole you know, we haven't been

997
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: buying any processed foods. But I like breakfast sausage, and

998
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 1: you eating the old Bob Evans breakfast sausage and I

999
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 1: know that's got preservatives, additives and nitrates and all that

1000
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. And I thought to myself, you know

1001
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 1: what breakfast sausage. It's just ground pork and spices. You

1002
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: can look it up. There's a recipe for you know,

1003
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 1: breakfast sausage spices out there. So I bought two pounds

1004
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 1: of just plain old ground pork, got them for four

1005
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 1: dollars and twenty cents or something a pound. That's two pounds.

1006
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: It made twelve, maybe sixteen breakfast patties after I seasoned them,

1007
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 1: put them in a cryback bag, frozen, had them for

1008
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: breakfast over the weekend. It was outstanding and saved a

1009
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: ton of money. I looked up bob Evans. It's ten ounces.

1010
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 1: If you get those links or the patties, ten ounces

1011
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: is going to set you back like six dollars ten ounces.

1012
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: So I get a pound of ground port for four

1013
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 1: to twenty nine and about two cents worth of spice

1014
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 1: is thrown in there. I've got a pound of breakfast

1015
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:25,919
Speaker 1: sausage for a little over four dollars versus the six

1016
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: I would have paid for ten ounces of bob Evans.

1017
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: So I'm just throwing it out there and little trick

1018
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 1: of the trade I found out when I made it.

1019
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 1: The recipe I saw said add if you would like

1020
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:39,920
Speaker 1: a little sweetness to it, maple syrup or some brown sugar.

1021
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 1: I chose the former because we have maple syrup that

1022
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 1: we got out of our trees or maple trees on

1023
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 1: the in the yard. Last year. It made fantastic maple syrup.

1024
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: And boy, that sausage turned out great. So save yourself money,

1025
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 1: get rid of the preservatives. And added is make your

1026
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 1: own just thought I mentioned that, and buy bulk coffee

1027
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 1: and don't go to Starbucks if you're saving trying to

1028
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 1: save some money. Coffee has gone through the absolute blanket roof.

1029
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you something you already know. Son, take

1030
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 1: a break here. Coming up, I just I do want

1031
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: to mention this. Gavin Newsom having a go at the

1032
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 1: Second Amendment again, this is crazy. Before we get to

1033
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: the top of the air, News followed by Christopher Smitheman

1034

Speaker 1: with the Smither vent It's six forty nine at fifty

Speaker 1: and eight two three talk or pound five fifty on

1038
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: AT and T phones. Please feel free to call I

1039
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 1: just got a kick out of this. You know that's

1040
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: Democrats desperate to take away your guns and and so

1041
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 1: trying to take away your guns. They never really take

1042
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: them away, because, let's face it, there are hundreds of

1043
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: millions of firearms out there, ones that never were subject

1044
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 1: to a band, and ones that will still be out

1045
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 1: there even in the aftermath of the glock band legislation,

1046
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 1: which Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law on Friday, Assembly

1047
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 1: Bill eleven seven, labeled by the National Shooting Sports Foundation

1048
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 1: as a glock ban, This will take effect July of

1049
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 1: next year, which means probably a whole bunch of people

1050
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 1: running around buying clocks right now before the band goes

1051
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 1: into effect. And I'm sure this will be stopped by

1052
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 1: some court, but it bans the sale of new Glock

1053
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 1: brand pistols on the heels of glock days over twenty

1054
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 1: two three this past Saturday, Did you go and get one?

1055
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: Glock band? Described as a Democrat sponsored legislation fashioned as

1056
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: a response to the use of illegal glock switches. You

1057
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 1: buy a little piece of plastic, you apparently can easily

1058
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 1: install it on a glock gun and it turns into

1059
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: fully automatic even who loves these gangsters, most notably gangsters

1060
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 1: who have no idea to hit what they're aiming at.

1061
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 1: It's spray and pray, and of course the prayer by

1062
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 1: the gang banger is to maybe hit something that they're

1063
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 1: aiming at. I find these things to be ridiculous and stupid.

1064
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,919
Speaker 1: I'd never own one, but they are illegal, so I would.

1065
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 1: I can own one anyway, I'm not inclined to break

1066
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:12,919
Speaker 1: the law. They are federally prohibited block switches, popular among

1067
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: gangs and street criminals. As I point out, democrats are

1068
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 1: banning new sales of one of the most popular handguns

1069
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 1: in the world because some are fitted with glock switches.

1070
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 1: They are machine gun convertible. You go and buy a

1071
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:34,560
Speaker 1: glock handgun. It complies with all laws. It is not

1072
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 1: a fully automatic firearm. It is semi automatic. One trigger

1073
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 1: pull shoots one bullet, repeat process to shoot another. Clock

1074
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 1: switches unload a hole magazine in a matter of a

1075
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 1: moment's time. They're really stupid fast and makes a handgun

1076
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 1: very difficult to control too my subjective opinion, You can

1077
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 1: draw your own conclusions. Go ahead and try one. Out

1078
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 1: sometime if you want to run the risk of getting

1079
01:02:57,080 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 1: arrested for having one. Court to the legislation, a machine

1080
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 1: gun convertible pistol, in other words, one that has not

1081
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 1: been converted into a new machine gun. They define it

1082
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 1: as any any semi automatic pistol with a cruciform trigger

1083
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 1: bar that can be readily converted by hand or with

1084
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 1: common household tools into a machine gun by the installation

1085
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 1: or attachment of a pistol converter as specified, and pistol

1086
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 1: converter as any device or instrument that, when installed or

1087
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 1: attach to the rear of a slide of a semi

1088
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 1: automatic pistol, replaces the backplate interfering with the trigger mechanism,

1089
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 1: enabling the pistol to shoot automatically. The point of all

1090
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 1: that is you're doing something and converting a legal firearmy

1091
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: into something illegal. Already illegal to own one of those,

1092
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 1: it's on the book. So that's not quite good enough.

1093
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: So let's see if we can get rid of all

1094
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 1: of them. This is the reaction banning the most popular

1095
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: handgun in the world because it can be made illegal.

1096
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 1: It makes the mind kind of wonder how many firearms

1097
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: out there can be turned into something unlawful because you're

1098
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: tinkering with it, and then so tinkering subject yourself to

1099
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 1: federal prosecution. This bill would expand the above definition of

1100
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 1: machine gun to include any machine gun convertible pistol equipped

1101
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:37,479
Speaker 1: with a pistol converter. So basically, boil down a brand

1102
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:42,680
Speaker 1: new semi automatic block pistol in the mind of Gavin

1103
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: Newsom and the Democrats in California, is actually a machine gun.

1104
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 1: So we're talking about orwell and sort of rename and

1105
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 1: relabeling the world in which we find ourselves, sort of

1106
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 1: upending the traditional norms and understanding definitionally of what is

1107
01:04:56,960 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 1: and what isn't a machine gun. This one just change

1108
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 1: the definition anyway. I think we'll see that one in

1109
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:12,360
Speaker 1: court very very quickly with good reason. Ah, but they're

1110
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 1: coming for your guns. Just always remember the reason the

1111
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:17,600
Speaker 1: founding fathers incorporated the right to keep him bare arms

1112
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 1: into the Constitution. It wasn't for hunting. Coming up, Christopher Smith,

1113
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: well you got to dive onto some of the details

1114
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 1: of aftab Purvols. I don't know. Is it an act

1115
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 1: of desperation, is a reflection of him worrying about where

1116
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 1: he is relative to Cory Bowman, Does Corey Bowman have

1117
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 1: a chance? See may don't know if there's any internal

1118
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 1: polling out there that's been released. Also, if you have

1119
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 1: any information on early voting. I know the Republicans were

1120
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:44,439
Speaker 1: ahead in Hamilton County and early voting. Is that still

1121
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 1: the case. If you have that kind of information, I

1122
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:48,920
Speaker 1: love to hear from you. But you know, the idea

1123
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 1: that aftab Purvole has launched this maga campaign, I think

1124
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:56,840
Speaker 1: maybe he is reflective of the fact that he may

1125
01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 1: be in a little bit of concern about his job.

1126
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 1: But don't worry. Everything's fine in the city. Says they

1127
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 1: have to have PERVALL. We don't want those evil Maga

1128
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 1: folks upending all of this progress that's been made under

1129
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 1: the Pervall administration. So, in addition to that other information

1130
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking for, can you come up with something that

1131
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 1: you would hang your hat on if you are AFT

1132
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:26,919
Speaker 1: have PERVALL that demonstrates progress considering how many lane miles

1133
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 1: were behind in terms of repaving, Considering the equipment problems

1134
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 1: we face, lack of fire department equipment, the lack of

1135
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 1: snow removal equipment, the fact that a lot of this

1136
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:37,440
Speaker 1: stuff is out of commission. We could go on and

1137
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 1: on and on about the problems that you and I

1138
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 1: have identified in downtown Cincinnati, but can you come up

1139
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:46,800
Speaker 1: with something that you would characterize as true progress. A

1140
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 1: note in his materials asking you for money. He didn't

1141
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 1: specifically say anything, which is kind of puzzling. Six fifty

1142
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 1: five fifty five K sit the talk station. Be back

1143
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:58,320
Speaker 1: with that plus Smithman coming up at seven to twenty.

1144
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:14,600

1150
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 1: over a trillion dollars in Doge apparently didn't do much.

1151
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 1: That's topic one or topics one. Update on Social Security

1152

Speaker 4: Thank you.

01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 9: How are you doing this morning?

1163
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 1: For a Monday? I can say I'm pretty good shape.

1164
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 1: I hope you can say the same.

1165
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:10,919
Speaker 9: Yeah. Well, just like you say that, maybe Newsom, since

1166
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 9: he likes to ban things that you know are illegal,

1167
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 9: maybe he should ban all cars because they kill more

1168
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:22,920
Speaker 9: people every year than guns to and the fact that

1169
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:26,840
Speaker 9: you can also break the law with a car by

1170
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 9: pushing your foot too hard on that gas pedal. Yes,

1171
01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 9: and then you are breaking the law. Yeah, maybe every

1172
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 9: every car should just be equipped with it has to

1173
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 9: keep reading those.

1174
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:42,440
Speaker 5: Signs and say fifty five, twenty.

1175
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 9: Five whatever it is, and you could not push it

1176
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 9: the pedal and go any faster.

1177
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:50,799
Speaker 1: You know, trust me that technology exists.

1178
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 8: Rich.

1179
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:54,639
Speaker 1: A speed limitter. We all know about those, even around forever. Yeah,

1180
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:57,080
Speaker 1: all you have is a used manufacturer car that cannot

1181
01:08:57,120 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 1: exceed the highest posted speed limit in any given state. Yeah.

1182
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:04,599
Speaker 1: Why because people can go faster and break the law

1183
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 1: with the car. Yes, people can buy a clock and

1184
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,400
Speaker 1: then break the law when you turn it into the

1185
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 1: fully automatic firearm. Yes, you can kill somebody with a

1186
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 1: baseball bat and a bass guitar at some point, just

1187
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:15,519
Speaker 1: swing it hard enough and hit them in the head

1188
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:17,599
Speaker 1: with it. That's a crime. We don't need to ban

1189
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 1: guitars or baseball bats or anything else you can murder

1190
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 1: someone with, including cutlery see England. Yeah, it's just control, control, control, control,

1191
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 1: and dumb, dumb efforts to control. And then you can't

1192
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 1: unring the bell. The fact that the glock handgun is

1193
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 1: the most popular one out there. I would love to

1194
01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:40,600
Speaker 1: know how many glockhandguns exist in California alone, you know,

1195
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean, are you gonna take them off the streets

1196
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:48,000
Speaker 1: or no? All those can be converted fully automatic, but

1197
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 1: they're still out there. Why because you bought them when

1198
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:53,479
Speaker 1: they were legal. Yeah, that's going nowhere. Rich, it's going nowhere.

1199
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're right. Added to the list. Since here's

1200
01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:01,200
Speaker 1: the message from as we approach christ Smithlman. I. I

1201
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:02,960
Speaker 1: was scratching my head over this, and we'll see if

1202
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,919
Speaker 1: we can't find reasons to degree or disagree with AFTAB

1203
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 1: pur Ball re lucked AFTAB for mayor keep MAGA out

1204
01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. It's like a blaring headline in bold, dear friend,

1205
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:20,960
Speaker 1: Cincinnati stands at a crossroads. Everything we've remember. This is

1206
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,680
Speaker 1: Aftab pur of Ball speaking, or maybe friends of par

1207
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:26,760
Speaker 1: Ball or someone representing the interest of Aftab pur Ball.

1208
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 1: Everything we've fought for, our progress, our unity, our safety

1209
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 1: is under attack now as I was doing I was

1210
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:44,840
Speaker 1: stopping as I read through this and going back to

1211
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:47,439
Speaker 1: the comments at the close of the last hour. What

1212
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:53,519
Speaker 1: is he talking about? What specific progress? And don't look

1213
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:57,000
Speaker 1: to the materials to identify anything. He just states things

1214
01:10:57,080 --> 01:11:00,160
Speaker 1: in broad language without any specific support for what he's

1215
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:03,560
Speaker 1: referring to. I don't know what progress he's referring to.

1216
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 1: I certainly don't know what unity he's referring to. And

1217
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 1: of course safety a real problem for the residents of

1218
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati. We have a safety problem. I

1219
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 1: don't believe it's just a perception. As I read about

1220
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 1: fatal stabbing in bond Hill yesterday and one person died

1221
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 1: in a shooting in mount Airy yesterday, he goes on, Maga,

1222
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 1: bullies are trying to tear apart the community we've worked

1223
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 1: so hard to build, and I will not let that

1224
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 1: happen all right, Well, clearly he is referring to Donald

1225
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 1: or JD. Vance's brother because he brings that up. And

1226
01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 1: I know politicians been the truth or flat out why

1227
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 1: but you know, ahead, listen to last week's conversation with

1228
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman. Where does he come across as maga. When

1229
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:56,040
Speaker 1: has he said he embraces Donald Trump's policies or when

1230
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 1: has he gone around and actually campaign the fact that

1231
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:01,880
Speaker 1: he happens to be Corey JD Vance's half brother. He

1232
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:03,800
Speaker 1: tries to avoid that. He does not want to be

1233
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:06,720
Speaker 1: mixed up with JD. Vans or Donald Trump. He's his

1234
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 1: own man, He's got his own vision for the city. Anyway,

1235
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:17,160
Speaker 1: back to pervol our city has always been defined by respect, inclusivity,

1236
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:26,639
Speaker 1: and fairness. I thought we live in an inherently racist,

1237
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:31,920
Speaker 1: irredeemable city nation. I thought the police were a vile,

1238
01:12:32,479 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 1: racist force that need to be dealt with and rethought,

1239
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:41,439
Speaker 1: reimagined or defunded. He goes on, but those values are

1240
01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:44,439
Speaker 1: under a threat from forces both near and far, intent

1241
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:47,760
Speaker 1: on undoing what we've achieved together. I go back to

1242
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:50,640
Speaker 1: my out loud question, what specifically is he referring to

1243
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 1: that he's so proud that his administration has brought to

1244
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:57,160
Speaker 1: the residents of the city. He goes on my opponent, JD.

1245
01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:00,800
Speaker 1: Vance's brother has already put us on the stage and

1246
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 1: is backed by billionaires. His only goal is to reverse

1247
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 1: our hard won victories for their own gain. Well, considering

1248
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:08,880
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman's campaign raising, I'm not quite sure that there

1249
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 1: are multi billionaires or billionaires out there funding his campaign.

1250
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:15,599
Speaker 1: Maybe you can identify someone who has written him a check.

1251
01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 1: I think Provol's got a nice padded account himself. But

1252
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:28,679
Speaker 1: what of these hard won victories. If we let them

1253
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 1: gain a foothold, we risk our safety there it is

1254
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 1: again that safety word, our community and everything that makes

1255
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:40,000
Speaker 1: Cincinnati the place we love. He's leaving it to your

1256
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:44,320
Speaker 1: imagination what specifically he's talking about. The moment for action

1257
01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:46,880
Speaker 1: is here. The moment is now. Let's stand together, fight

1258
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 1: back and protect what we've built. Early voting started yesterday

1259
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:54,320
Speaker 1: and we are building a unified defense with my grassroots

1260
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:57,800
Speaker 1: supports like you can you rush a contribution now of

1261
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:00,320
Speaker 1: twenty five dollars to show that Team AFT we will

1262
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 1: mobilize and band together and refuse to allow Magga to

1263
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 1: destroy what we have built. We have built. There's those

1264
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 1: words again. Actually in one paragraph he used that twice

1265
01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:16,479
Speaker 1: oh paragraph following that sounds a little familiar to We

1266
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:18,720
Speaker 1: must come together as a community and refuse to let

1267
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:23,200
Speaker 1: division and fear take rout. What we have built is

1268
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 1: valuable and worth protecting, and we will not allow it

1269
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 1: to be sacrificed to those who thrive on chaos and control.

1270
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 1: The pot called the kettle black a little bit who's

1271
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 1: thriving on chaos and control. We would be antifi Black

1272
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:39,880
Speaker 1: Lives Matter groups, the defund the police folks, the iris

1273
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,880
Speaker 1: Rawley's getting out and interfering with police officers doing their

1274
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 1: job and looking out for the community. That team aft

1275
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:51,080
Speaker 1: to have will mobilize and band together and refuse to

1276
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:54,280
Speaker 1: allow Maggot to destroy what we have built. Didn't realize

1277
01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:57,280
Speaker 1: we were in the throes of a Maga assault. Folks

1278
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:00,680
Speaker 1: didn't quite understand that. So I'm going what I've been

1279
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:03,759
Speaker 1: saying this morning, What in the hell is he talking about?

1280
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 1: Look out your window, how's your road doing? Do you

1281
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:15,080
Speaker 1: have gunfire in your neighborhood regularly? Is there a lack

1282
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:17,479
Speaker 1: of police presence in your neighborhood? A problem that's been

1283
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:20,240
Speaker 1: brewing for a long long time, one which Aftab Purbo

1284
01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:23,639
Speaker 1: only recently came out to try to address, at least verbally,

1285
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:27,720
Speaker 1: in the aftermath of the late July brutal beatings that did,

1286
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:31,680
Speaker 1: in fact put Cincinnati in the national spotlight. Wasn't so

1287
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:37,200
Speaker 1: much jd Vance's half brother that one made headlines across

1288
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:40,800
Speaker 1: the country. The video of Holly getting punched in the

1289
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:44,440
Speaker 1: face is what brought Cincinnati to the national focus AFTAB

1290
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:50,160
Speaker 1: seven fifteen if five care City Talk station, I suspect

1291
01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 1: Christopher might have a word or two about that. We

1292
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:55,479
Speaker 1: will collectively learn what's on Christopher's mind. With the Smith

1293
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:58,280
Speaker 1: event coming up next. First, no odor exit won't get

1294
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 1: rid of the stench of politic hegar. Not only is

1295
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 1: it the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the birth

1296
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:08,559
Speaker 1: of the United States Navy. More importantly, it's Joe Strecker's birthday.

1297
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 1: Happy birthday, Joe Strecker, and welcome back also an important

1298
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:13,800
Speaker 1: day every Monday, it's this time we hear from the

1299
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 1: former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, candidate for

1300
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:19,800
Speaker 1: SININNY City Council worth the vote, Christopher Smitheman. Welcome back,

1301
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:21,559
Speaker 1: my friend's always great having you on the show.

1302
01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:25,920
Speaker 4: Oh, thank you so much, Brian. I'm honored to be

1303
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:29,720
Speaker 4: here every morning or every Monday to talk to you.

1304
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:34,719
Speaker 4: And what a historic day to listen to our president,

1305
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 4: President Trump addressing the Parliament of Israel saying we have

1306
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:45,120
Speaker 4: peace and that a peace deal has been broken in

1307
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:50,160
Speaker 4: hostages as you and I are having this conversation are

1308
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 4: coming home. Twenty of them still alive, and the bodies

1309
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:59,719
Speaker 4: if it were my daughter or my son Christopher Malcolm Isaac,

1310
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:03,800
Speaker 4: I want their body back so that I could have

1311
01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 4: closure and put my child to rest. And that also

1312
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 4: is happening, which is a part of his peace deal,

1313
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:15,280
Speaker 4: which is dignity, and Israel is releasing prisoners. I think

1314
01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:19,720
Speaker 4: over two thousand of them back in there being reunited

1315
01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:23,360
Speaker 4: with their families, and you see joy on that side.

1316
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 4: And this is about peace. And you know, I've been

1317
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 4: amazed at watching Brian Thomas former administrations, and I'm going

1318
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 4: to name them who've just been unwilling to say, good

1319
01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 4: job America, good job President Trump, good job his administration.

1320
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:46,519
Speaker 4: When you're brokering peace in the world. Have we gone

1321
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:51,719
Speaker 4: so far community where we can't even say good job

1322
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 4: to a president and his administration, no matter who they are,

1323
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:58,800
Speaker 4: an American president who is brokering a piece that has

1324
01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 4: eluded me any previous administrations. What's wrong with us? And

1325
01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:07,880
Speaker 4: how far have we thought? I was disappointed when I

1326
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:11,360
Speaker 4: saw some of the statements from the different leaders. I mean,

1327
01:18:11,439 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 4: I was glad to see, for example, Hillary Clinton, former

1328
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 4: Secretary of State, say President Trump did a great job.

1329
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 4: I was proud to see Condalisa Rights say good job,

1330
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 4: this was a great scenario. I don't know what her

1331
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:29,479
Speaker 4: position is on President Trump, because Condollisa Rights has always

1332
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:33,120
Speaker 4: been very guarded and very cautious. I think she'd make

1333
01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:36,560
Speaker 4: a great president, by the way, but I was disappointed

1334
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:40,080
Speaker 4: when former President Barack Obama didn't just say he had

1335
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:42,680
Speaker 4: a beautiful statement about peace. It was wonderful, but he

1336
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:46,720
Speaker 4: didn't say congratulations to this administration. I don't know what

1337
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 4: is going on out here in the political atmosphere of

1338
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:54,120
Speaker 4: the ecosystem, but we have got to change direction and

1339
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 4: get some civility in this country. Our neighbors are not

1340
01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 4: our enemies. Other communities on our enemies. We have to

1341
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 4: be able to day in this moment for Israel and

1342
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:10,759
Speaker 4: for the Palestinian people, not Hamas. Hamas is different. Hamas

1343
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:15,040
Speaker 4: is a terrorist organization, and anybody who's unwilling to say

1344
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:17,960
Speaker 4: that needs to get their heads screwed on rights. We're

1345
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:21,880
Speaker 4: not talking about Hamas. We're talking about the Palestinian people

1346
01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:25,439
Speaker 4: are getting peace today, and so are the Israelis, and

1347
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:30,280
Speaker 4: we should commend this administration, commend America for brokery peace

1348
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:30,920
Speaker 4: in this country.

1349
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean I even gave credit to Jimmy Carter

1350
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 1: with the Camp David peace Accords. He negotiated a settlement

1351
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 1: between Israel and Egypt which ended a lot of bloodshed

1352
01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:43,519
Speaker 1: and ANDed to some land occupation by Israel. Widely supported

1353
01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:46,599
Speaker 1: except for the terrorists who are upset about the peace agreement.

1354
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:50,360
Speaker 1: Then they blew up uh when it was at Monock

1355
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:52,160
Speaker 1: and bag and they blew up anwar sadad if I

1356
01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:54,760
Speaker 1: recall correctly, but any of it, I mean there you

1357
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 1: give credit where credits due. Do I like Jimmy Carter? No,

1358
01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:00,320
Speaker 1: But he didn't negotiate a framework for peace there, you know,

1359
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:02,680
Speaker 1: I mean you got to give credit where credits due.

1360
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:05,559
Speaker 1: Does Donald Trump deserve all this credit? Well, he wasn't

1361
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 1: sitting there at the table. He had his appointees to it,

1362
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:10,760
Speaker 1: but it's within the realm of the Trump administration, so

1363
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:12,840
Speaker 1: his people were able to go over there and do it,

1364
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:15,840
Speaker 1: and the world leaders are all giving him damn credit

1365
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 1: for it. So yeah, the silence from some folks, and

1366
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:21,439
Speaker 1: I guess the ongoing criticism from some is never going

1367
01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:23,840
Speaker 1: to go away. Christopher. You know they all have TDS

1368
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 1: Trump arrangement syndrome.

1369
01:20:26,520 --> 01:20:28,640
Speaker 4: But here's what I'm saying to you, Brian Thomas. What

1370
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:32,800
Speaker 4: leaders do is they a point people around them that

1371
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:33,880
Speaker 4: are smarter than them.

1372
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1373
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:37,240
Speaker 4: Good leaders are like, hey man, I've got to put

1374
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:40,160
Speaker 4: the right people in place in order to make the

1375
01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:44,240
Speaker 4: things happen for this country a world. That's what good

1376
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 4: leaders do. And that's why I give and I said,

1377
01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:51,840
Speaker 4: the Trump administration and the President get credit for this

1378
01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:54,960
Speaker 4: historic peace deal. They've been at war for two years, man,

1379
01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:58,200
Speaker 4: Kyla Sini and kids are getting killed every single day.

1380
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:02,479
Speaker 4: Let's stop the bloodshet it. And people elected him. There

1381
01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:03,840
Speaker 4: are a lot of people that have said to me

1382
01:21:04,120 --> 01:21:06,599
Speaker 4: they elected him because they wanted the wars to stop.

1383
01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 4: They wanted peace. These are Americans who were saying they

1384
01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:12,640
Speaker 4: didn't want this more get deeper into wars and be

1385
01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:16,000
Speaker 4: this global police. He saying, this president is saying I

1386
01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:19,639
Speaker 4: want peace. I don't want more war. All I'm saying

1387
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:21,760
Speaker 4: to you is that to the public, if you're a

1388
01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:24,960
Speaker 4: person that is waking up and you just can't say,

1389
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:29,240
Speaker 4: I give this administration and this president credit for this

1390
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:34,240
Speaker 4: historic moment, there's something wrong with your politics. I'm trying

1391
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:37,839
Speaker 4: to love on you right now and say, please, please,

1392
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:40,600
Speaker 4: when you go out on social media, be willing to

1393
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:43,439
Speaker 4: just say, this is a great day for our country.

1394
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:46,679
Speaker 4: We showed leadership in the world. This was a great

1395
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:49,519
Speaker 4: peace deal. It's a first step. We don't know whether

1396
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:51,680
Speaker 4: there's going to be other steps here, you know, I

1397
01:21:51,760 --> 01:21:54,640
Speaker 4: mean something that break out and things go awrived. Oh,

1398
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:57,280
Speaker 4: but at least give them credit in this moment. That's

1399
01:21:57,320 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 4: all I'm saying, Brian Thomas, and I don't see why

1400
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:00,000
Speaker 4: that is difficult.

1401
01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 1: Bullets are not flying, people are being reunited with their families.

1402
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:07,320
Speaker 1: The border with Egypt is open to allow humanitarian relief

1403
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 1: and aid and also for Palestinians to either re enter

1404
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:13,479
Speaker 1: Gaza or exit Gaza, as the case may be. They

1405
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:15,439
Speaker 1: got the devil in the details to work on. How

1406
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:18,000
Speaker 1: much land is going to is Israel going to vacate

1407
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:20,840
Speaker 1: from who's going to be the arbiters of peace as

1408
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 1: we move forward with the rebuilding effort, A lot of

1409
01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:28,280
Speaker 1: details and will Hamas disarm. As of right now, bullets

1410
01:22:28,280 --> 01:22:31,679
Speaker 1: are not flying, people are not losing lives, and people

1411
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:35,080
Speaker 1: have been reunited on both sides of the war. I

1412
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 1: think we can all and I want to.

1413
01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:39,160
Speaker 4: Embrace that we can't Brian, And let me say this,

1414
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 4: this move right here for anybody and everybody that's listening,

1415
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:45,680
Speaker 4: please listen to me what I'm saying. This piece, this

1416
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:50,479
Speaker 4: is a great step for also Russia and Ukraine. Meaning

1417
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 4: when Russia and Ukraine they're watching this peace right here,

1418
01:22:53,920 --> 01:22:56,280
Speaker 4: don't you want a little of this piece? I see

1419
01:22:56,320 --> 01:22:58,720
Speaker 4: a lot of Ukrainian flags as I go door to

1420
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:01,600
Speaker 4: door and talk to shit. There's lots of Americans that

1421
01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:05,720
Speaker 4: are very concerned about that war. I'm saying. They might

1422
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:09,120
Speaker 4: not understand, or they do understand and appreciate this is

1423
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:13,000
Speaker 4: momentum also for peace in other parts of our of

1424
01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 4: our world, starting with Russia and starting with Ukraine. This

1425
01:23:17,200 --> 01:23:18,960
Speaker 4: might be their step two to say, you know what,

1426
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:21,240
Speaker 4: we want a little piece of that love. We want

1427
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:23,760
Speaker 4: a little piece, We want a little a piece of

1428
01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:27,599
Speaker 4: peace for our communities, and maybe Brian Thomas they take

1429
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:30,120
Speaker 4: the step. I'm just saying, let's get to the point

1430
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:34,480
Speaker 4: in our country where we can say vote yes for America,

1431
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:38,400
Speaker 4: Yes for momentum in our country. No matter who is

1432
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:40,760
Speaker 4: the President of the United States, no matter who the

1433
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:44,760
Speaker 4: administration is, I'm rooting for this country. I'm rooting for

1434
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 4: our progress. And if you don't like that, you got

1435
01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:51,519
Speaker 4: to kind of re examine your own head because this

1436
01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:54,320
Speaker 4: is a this is this is historic and it's going

1437
01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:57,439
Speaker 4: to go down historic in the history books, whether someone

1438
01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:00,599
Speaker 4: gives him the Nobel Peace Prize or not. I'm sharing

1439
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:04,639
Speaker 4: with our community this moment in this day is historic.

1440

Speaker 1: my friend.

1451
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:38,439
Speaker 4: Look, brother, I watched the debate this past week for

1452
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:44,200
Speaker 4: mayor and probably one of the most important elections because

1453
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:47,040
Speaker 4: our city is on the wrong track and no matter

1454
01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:50,240
Speaker 4: what door I knock on, whether it's in Mount Lookout

1455
01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:52,120
Speaker 4: or High Park, or whether it's in bond Hill or

1456
01:24:52,200 --> 01:24:56,840
Speaker 4: Rosebonn or Evingston, there's a consensus out there that the city,

1457
01:24:57,280 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 4: the City Council and the Mayor's office are on the

1458
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:04,719
Speaker 4: wrong track. This is really important because the mayor most

1459
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:09,080
Speaker 4: likely is out there doing polls and he's finding out

1460
01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:12,720
Speaker 4: people do not like the direction of the city. The

1461
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:16,560
Speaker 4: tabs are showing there's concern. So what you see this

1462
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:20,120
Speaker 4: mayor doing is going into the culture war. This is

1463
01:25:20,439 --> 01:25:25,160
Speaker 4: really important community, meaning he can't run on the substance

1464
01:25:25,280 --> 01:25:29,320
Speaker 4: of potholes not being fixed, or your snow of failure

1465
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:32,400
Speaker 4: of its removal this last winter where you couldn't get

1466
01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 4: your kids to school. Our garbage pickup are the number

1467
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:41,720
Speaker 4: one issue crime, whether somebody's getting carjacked, are the possibility

1468
01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:45,160
Speaker 4: of being carjacked in Hyde Park? Are the murders every

1469
01:25:45,240 --> 01:25:48,720
Speaker 4: other day in our community? Of black men shooting each other,

1470
01:25:48,960 --> 01:25:52,400
Speaker 4: whether it's in downtown, whether it's in Price Hill, whether

1471
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:56,719
Speaker 4: it's in Bond Hill or Roseline, whatever neighborhood, Avondale. We've

1472
01:25:56,760 --> 01:25:59,160
Speaker 4: got a murder rate and a murder problem, and the

1473
01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:02,679
Speaker 4: ages are ropping, thirteen and fourteen year olds walking around

1474
01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:05,920
Speaker 4: with guns. A mayor with no plan at the beginning

1475
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:08,800
Speaker 4: of the summer to abate the crime that we know

1476
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:11,679
Speaker 4: is going to happen in our summer months in our cores.

1477
01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:15,160
Speaker 4: We've got shootings down on Fountain Square. None of these

1478
01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:18,679
Speaker 4: things are lies. Brawls downtown where a woman almost lost

1479
01:26:18,760 --> 01:26:20,680
Speaker 4: her life by the name of Holly punched it in

1480
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:24,320
Speaker 4: the faith. You know. We've got a woman whose daughter,

1481
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:27,639
Speaker 4: this is Cassandra, when we haven't even caught the guy

1482
01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:30,519
Speaker 4: who shot her daughter in the back, just walking at

1483
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:34,160
Speaker 4: nine o'clock at night. Five children left for Grandma Ronda

1484
01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:37,479
Speaker 4: Win to raise on her own. My point view is

1485
01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:40,840
Speaker 4: I could go list a Sarah Henry Jerk and her

1486
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:44,760
Speaker 4: beautiful husband Patrick who was murdered in otr fitting in

1487
01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:48,120
Speaker 4: their home, laying in their home sleep. Guy comes in

1488
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:51,680
Speaker 4: kills her husband. He's done two tours, he's a military vet,

1489
01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:56,439
Speaker 4: Patrick did two tours Brian Thomas and lost his life.

1490
01:26:56,920 --> 01:26:59,800
Speaker 4: We had a mayor in a debate that wanted to

1491
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:03,679
Speaker 4: boil it all the way down to MAGA. He started

1492
01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:10,160
Speaker 4: talking about MAGA and Trump and all of this divisive language.

1493
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:13,800
Speaker 4: If we take the bait community, that tells you just

1494
01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:16,880
Speaker 4: how scared he is. He doesn't have a record to

1495
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:19,479
Speaker 4: run on. So now what he's doing is he's trying

1496
01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:25,120
Speaker 4: to tie the federal national politics to our local politics.

1497
01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:28,920
Speaker 4: That is a very dangerous thing community. And it turned

1498
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:31,960
Speaker 4: me off so much, Brian Thomas, because it was an

1499
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 4: opportunity for this mayor to stand before us and say,

1500
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:38,960
Speaker 4: at best, here's what I'm going to do different, here's

1501
01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:42,080
Speaker 4: my plan for this, here's the direction I want to

1502
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:45,160
Speaker 4: take the city of Cincinnati. Here's my hopeful message. It

1503
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:48,080
Speaker 4: wasn't that at all. It was let's divide us culturally.

1504
01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:51,479
Speaker 4: Let's make our neighbors even more suspicious of each other,

1505
01:27:51,920 --> 01:27:55,479
Speaker 4: don't like each other because of where your political persuasion is.

1506
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:58,640
Speaker 4: It was insane to me, and I was so disappointed

1507
01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:01,840
Speaker 4: in him, his team and anybody that had him go

1508
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:04,200
Speaker 4: out there and do that to us. Brian Thomas, we

1509
01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:07,639
Speaker 4: don't need more division in our city. We need somebody

1510
01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:10,960
Speaker 4: who's wanting to bring us together and make things good

1511
01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:13,960
Speaker 4: and then solve the big problems that we have in

1512
01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:19,920
Speaker 4: our city. To compromise hard work, thoughtfulness, kindness, that kind

1513
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:23,479
Speaker 4: of stuff. That's my observation, and I think that the

1514
01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:27,200
Speaker 4: inquirer here got it wrong. I think they opened up

1515
01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:30,919
Speaker 4: with it's our perception that crime is bad. It's our perception.

1516
01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:33,800
Speaker 4: The numbers are down. What are they talking about? Man,

1517
01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:36,960
Speaker 4: If you talk to anybody in our fifty two neighborhoods,

1518
01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:40,080
Speaker 4: no one believes what is happening is a perception. This

1519
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:44,559
Speaker 4: is our reality, Brian Thomas. The crime is out of control.

1520
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:47,800
Speaker 4: It is spreading like cancer out of our core and

1521
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:51,080
Speaker 4: pouring into the other fifty two neighborhoods. And anybody that

1522
01:28:51,200 --> 01:28:53,559
Speaker 4: is watching this knows it. I'm telling you, if you're

1523
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:56,080
Speaker 4: on the sidelines and you're a registered voter and you're

1524
01:28:56,120 --> 01:28:58,920
Speaker 4: listening to this conversation and you don't get up off

1525
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:03,160
Speaker 4: your couch, go in and vote for somebody, make a choice,

1526
01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 4: make a decision. You are part of the problem. Elections

1527
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:11,240
Speaker 4: have consequences, and it takes people who do things, take actions.

1528
01:29:11,479 --> 01:29:14,000
Speaker 4: They're not just on the radio talking about this and

1529
01:29:14,120 --> 01:29:17,680
Speaker 4: talking about that we have an election, Brian Thomas, it's

1530
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:20,479
Speaker 4: time now for the jury box. Those are the citizens

1531
01:29:20,520 --> 01:29:23,920
Speaker 4: of Cincinnati, to say, what's the record of this current administration,

1532
01:29:24,439 --> 01:29:27,200
Speaker 4: what is the record of this current council, and let's

1533
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:30,599
Speaker 4: make a decision to take a different direction in our

1534
01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:33,080
Speaker 4: city that's better for all of us. I don't care

1535
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:36,639
Speaker 4: about what the national politics are when it comes to potholes.

1536
01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:39,320
Speaker 4: I don't care what the national politics are when it

1537
01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:42,280
Speaker 4: comes to making sure that our police officers have what

1538
01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:44,720
Speaker 4: they need and the support that they need to get.

1539
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:48,000
Speaker 4: I don't want four more years of defunding the police,

1540
01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:51,960
Speaker 4: reimagining the police, sending counselors out on nine to one

1541
01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:55,280
Speaker 4: one calls, making sure that our fire department their support.

1542
01:29:55,479 --> 01:29:57,840
Speaker 4: I don't want an FP that has to take a

1543
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:01,160
Speaker 4: vote saying we don't trust the mess, meaning they have

1544
01:30:01,280 --> 01:30:04,639
Speaker 4: taken a no confidence vote in our current mayor. If

1545
01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:06,920
Speaker 4: you were listening to that debate, you would think that

1546
01:30:07,040 --> 01:30:10,639
Speaker 4: this mayor was cozy with President Kober. You would think

1547
01:30:10,680 --> 01:30:13,479
Speaker 4: that he was lined up with our Cincinnati Police department.

1548
01:30:13,840 --> 01:30:18,080
Speaker 4: He's not. The Cincinnati Police Department has said we have

1549
01:30:18,400 --> 01:30:22,720
Speaker 4: no confidence in this mayor and no confidence in this administration.

1550
01:30:23,080 --> 01:30:25,160
Speaker 4: If you're a voter out there and you're hearing that,

1551
01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:28,800
Speaker 4: and crime is your number one issue, why wouldn't you

1552
01:30:28,920 --> 01:30:30,439
Speaker 4: say I want to do something different.

1553
01:30:30,479 --> 01:30:33,720
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas A great question. Will pause, bring Christopher back

1554
01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:36,840
Speaker 1: for a few more words. Let's give me an opportunity

1555
01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:38,880
Speaker 1: to mention Zimmer heating and cooling for more than I'm

1556
01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:46,080
Speaker 1: a box station right at seven point two here fifty

1557
01:30:46,120 --> 01:30:50,799
Speaker 1: five care City Talks station, enjoying my conversation with Christopher Smithman.

1558
01:30:50,840 --> 01:30:54,360
Speaker 1: Always do at Christopher. I'm sure I had commented on

1559
01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:57,920
Speaker 1: this keep Maga out of Cincinnati campaign. I have to

1560
01:30:57,960 --> 01:31:00,840
Speaker 1: have purvols out there with a need to send him

1561
01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:05,559
Speaker 1: twenty five dollars to support his campaign. He keeps referring

1562
01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:08,519
Speaker 1: to that our safety is under attack. We all this

1563
01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:13,640
Speaker 1: progress that we've we've reached so far, we've achieved it,

1564
01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 1: and he's gonna and jd Vance's brother is gonna do

1565
01:31:16,360 --> 01:31:20,080
Speaker 1: undo it. He's going to reverse our hard won victories.

1566
01:31:20,360 --> 01:31:22,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna risk our safety. I mean, I'm just pulling

1567
01:31:22,920 --> 01:31:26,200
Speaker 1: out his words. We need to protect what we've built,

1568
01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:29,479
Speaker 1: and he mentions what we have built multiple times, lacking

1569
01:31:29,680 --> 01:31:33,519
Speaker 1: in this this campaign solicitation, Christopher is anything of substance.

1570
01:31:33,600 --> 01:31:36,679
Speaker 1: What the hell is he talking about? He doesn't incite,

1571
01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:39,200
Speaker 1: he's I mean, Brian, this.

1572
01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:42,240
Speaker 4: Is what I'm saying. They're sending this literature all across

1573
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:46,200
Speaker 4: the all across our city, meaning like there's an ultra

1574
01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:49,800
Speaker 4: reality meaning the mayor can't run on his record, so

1575
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:54,920
Speaker 4: now he's running on cultural divisive or divisive seems it's

1576
01:31:54,960 --> 01:31:58,240
Speaker 4: a bad sign if you're a voter out there, Brian,

1577
01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:00,519
Speaker 4: You've got to be going, oh my god, I'm dodging

1578
01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:02,920
Speaker 4: potholes so bad in our city that I look like

1579
01:32:03,040 --> 01:32:05,840
Speaker 4: I have a duy. You're just running around trying to

1580
01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:09,639
Speaker 4: miss a pothole around our city. There's just a tremendous failure.

1581
01:32:09,680 --> 01:32:11,760
Speaker 4: And that is after the cell of the railroad, which

1582
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:15,320
Speaker 4: was a terrible decision that the mayor got behind. All

1583
01:32:15,360 --> 01:32:18,560
Speaker 4: I'm saying public all the things that Brian Thomas just

1584
01:32:18,680 --> 01:32:21,800
Speaker 4: read is showing you that at the beginning of my

1585
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:26,680
Speaker 4: screen that I wasn't lying, I wasn't exaggerating, right, am

1586
01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:28,960
Speaker 4: I lying? Brian Thomas? This is where this guy is

1587
01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:31,560
Speaker 4: taking the election because he has nothing to run on,

1588
01:32:32,280 --> 01:32:34,760
Speaker 4: and we all have to be concerned about it. That's

1589
01:32:34,800 --> 01:32:37,280
Speaker 4: why I'm so fired up this morning. And I tell

1590
01:32:37,320 --> 01:32:39,639
Speaker 4: you we have a nine X system. That's what it's called.

1591
01:32:39,920 --> 01:32:42,880
Speaker 4: I've been preaching, I've been begging. Look, we can do,

1592
01:32:43,120 --> 01:32:47,760
Speaker 4: we can change council. Here under vote, don't vote for

1593
01:32:47,880 --> 01:32:51,559
Speaker 4: nine people, vote for four or five people and stop

1594
01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:55,000
Speaker 4: whoever your four or five people are right. But if

1595
01:32:55,040 --> 01:32:57,960
Speaker 4: you want to see a difference in city council, you

1596
01:32:58,040 --> 01:33:00,360
Speaker 4: can't go in there voting for nine people. There aren't

1597
01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:02,960
Speaker 4: nine people out of the twenty something people that are

1598
01:33:03,040 --> 01:33:05,840
Speaker 4: running to vote for. Just vote for four or five

1599
01:33:05,920 --> 01:33:09,160
Speaker 4: and watch what happens if High Park comes out. For example,

1600
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:12,200
Speaker 4: most turnouts right now in the city, Brian Thomas is

1601
01:33:12,280 --> 01:33:15,960
Speaker 4: twenty percent right. That means eight out of ten voters

1602
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:19,160
Speaker 4: are staying home. No, this is about voter turnout. You

1603
01:33:19,280 --> 01:33:21,960
Speaker 4: and I talk about this. We have one hundred million

1604
01:33:22,040 --> 01:33:26,000
Speaker 4: dollars bond issues that are being determined by thirteen percent

1605
01:33:26,040 --> 01:33:28,960
Speaker 4: of the voters who are showing up and participating. This

1606
01:33:29,160 --> 01:33:31,840
Speaker 4: is an issue of participation. So it doesn't matter whether

1607
01:33:31,880 --> 01:33:35,000
Speaker 4: you're in Westwood or High Park, or Clifton or Price Hill,

1608
01:33:35,360 --> 01:33:38,000
Speaker 4: our camp. It doesn't matter what part of the city

1609
01:33:38,040 --> 01:33:41,240
Speaker 4: you're in North Side. We have an issue with voters

1610
01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:44,919
Speaker 4: who are unwilling to show up. They're registered, they're focused

1611
01:33:44,960 --> 01:33:48,400
Speaker 4: on the national They show up for the national elections,

1612
01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:51,400
Speaker 4: but they don't show up for the local elections. And

1613
01:33:51,560 --> 01:33:55,360
Speaker 4: then wonder why crime is spiking potholes, your snow isn't

1614
01:33:55,400 --> 01:33:58,880
Speaker 4: being removed, garbage issues. We have a very dirty city.

1615
01:33:59,120 --> 01:34:02,120
Speaker 4: In my opinion, I travel, I admire cities when I

1616
01:34:02,240 --> 01:34:05,040
Speaker 4: go around. I'm not exaggerating here. You go under our

1617
01:34:05,160 --> 01:34:09,200
Speaker 4: underpasses and it looks crazy. The city of Cincinnati is

1618
01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:11,720
Speaker 4: so dirty. My point to you is that I want

1619
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:14,479
Speaker 4: to change the direction of this city. We have to

1620
01:34:14,560 --> 01:34:17,360
Speaker 4: vote smart. They're good people that are running. Their hearts

1621
01:34:17,400 --> 01:34:20,400
Speaker 4: are in the right direction. They're passionate about local politics.

1622
01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:23,760
Speaker 4: They just want to serve you public. But you have

1623
01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:26,559
Speaker 4: to do a better job of not trying this maga

1624
01:34:26,680 --> 01:34:30,120
Speaker 4: craziness that the mayor is pushing to divide us from

1625
01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:33,000
Speaker 4: our neighbors. Brian Thomas, it has nothing to do with

1626
01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:36,240
Speaker 4: this local election. It is such a disappointment to me

1627
01:34:36,560 --> 01:34:39,000
Speaker 4: that that's where he took this debate. It made my

1628
01:34:39,160 --> 01:34:39,960
Speaker 4: stomach sick.

1629
01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:42,679
Speaker 1: Well, I can only hope that a lot of people

1630
01:34:42,760 --> 01:34:45,080
Speaker 1: watched that debate or went back and watched it, you know,

1631
01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:48,439
Speaker 1: after the debate and saw it online, and you know,

1632
01:34:48,800 --> 01:34:50,920
Speaker 1: by all accounts, Corey Bowman did a really great job

1633
01:34:51,080 --> 01:34:55,479
Speaker 1: and he's got great character. In this whole push to

1634
01:34:55,640 --> 01:34:59,519
Speaker 1: label him MAGA and JD Vens's half brother, it's just

1635
01:34:59,560 --> 01:35:02,240
Speaker 1: so obst heard. If you've got a record, run on it.

1636
01:35:02,360 --> 01:35:05,120
Speaker 1: If you want to talk about your accomplishments, state them,

1637
01:35:05,400 --> 01:35:08,080
Speaker 1: articulate them. If it wasn't for me Mayor have to

1638
01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:10,920
Speaker 1: have provo, then you wouldn't have fill in the blank.

1639
01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:13,360
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything that you could use. And

1640
01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:15,680
Speaker 1: to fill that sentence, Christopher, what is he going to

1641
01:35:15,760 --> 01:35:19,280
Speaker 1: say that he accomplished in this past four years? And

1642
01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:20,960
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be a complete jerk. I know

1643
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm on the opposite side of the political spectrum, but

1644
01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm hard pressed to come up with something.

1645
01:35:25,920 --> 01:35:29,439
Speaker 4: I mean, he's how many interviews did this Mayor give

1646
01:35:29,479 --> 01:35:30,639
Speaker 4: you over the last four years?

1647
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:33,479
Speaker 1: Yeah? Zero? How many times are you trying to take

1648
01:35:33,520 --> 01:35:35,880
Speaker 1: credit for the Brents Ben's Bridge project? I mean, how

1649
01:35:35,960 --> 01:35:38,479
Speaker 1: Barack Obama campaign in front of that? People have been

1650
01:35:38,560 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 1: in elected officials and people behind the scenes have been

1651
01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:44,160
Speaker 1: working to get the funding for that now for literally decades.

1652
01:35:44,640 --> 01:35:46,680
Speaker 1: He shows up and just happens to be mayor when

1653
01:35:46,680 --> 01:35:50,080
Speaker 1: they finally put the final you know, puzzle pieces together

1654
01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:52,360
Speaker 1: on it move forward with it. He can't take credit

1655
01:35:52,439 --> 01:35:52,600
Speaker 1: for that.

1656
01:35:53,840 --> 01:35:58,120
Speaker 4: He took credit for the for the fire training center, which,

1657
01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:02,040
Speaker 4: by the way, John Cranley and I negotiated works with

1658
01:36:02,240 --> 01:36:04,960
Speaker 4: Local forty eight, very hard on them to get the

1659
01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:08,280
Speaker 4: first ten million dollars of capital money. Anybody from Local

1660
01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:10,560
Speaker 4: forty eight who's listening to this, they know that what

1661
01:36:10,720 --> 01:36:13,560
Speaker 4: I'm saying is true. He cut the rimon acts like

1662
01:36:13,680 --> 01:36:15,839
Speaker 4: it was his project and it was really John Crawley.

1663
01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:18,400
Speaker 4: And the reality for me, what made me so frustrated

1664
01:36:18,439 --> 01:36:21,360
Speaker 4: is he blamed the previous administration. He was blaming the

1665
01:36:21,439 --> 01:36:24,360
Speaker 4: city manager, Paula Balks Music in the last debate, and

1666
01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:27,800
Speaker 4: the previous administration, who he said handed him a very

1667
01:36:27,840 --> 01:36:31,000
Speaker 4: bad situation. What is he talking about. We left him

1668
01:36:31,040 --> 01:36:34,120
Speaker 4: flush with money, We left a balanced budget. We left

1669
01:36:34,200 --> 01:36:38,040
Speaker 4: him sixteen point twenty five contributions to the Cincinnati retirement system.

1670
01:36:38,280 --> 01:36:41,720
Speaker 4: We were on a pathway of recruitment. Morale was up

1671
01:36:41,760 --> 01:36:45,880
Speaker 4: within the police department. He inherited a great situation for

1672
01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:48,920
Speaker 4: four years because he's a show horse and not a workhorse.

1673
01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:52,120
Speaker 4: He has just been sitting back watching our city perish.

1674
01:36:52,640 --> 01:36:56,479
Speaker 4: That's the problem with this guy. It's incredibly dangerous stuff.

1675
01:36:56,560 --> 01:36:58,880
Speaker 4: In my opinion, We've got to get out and vote

1676
01:36:58,920 --> 01:37:02,160
Speaker 4: and be serious. Look whether whoever you're voting for mayor

1677
01:37:02,520 --> 01:37:05,080
Speaker 4: right in your mind, you better think about a checking

1678
01:37:05,200 --> 01:37:08,599
Speaker 4: balance at city Hall with a council. So we could

1679
01:37:08,640 --> 01:37:12,080
Speaker 4: elect five members of council that will check him like

1680
01:37:12,160 --> 01:37:16,000
Speaker 4: a good'n or a Linda Matthews are a Keeping, a

1681
01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:20,479
Speaker 4: Lakita Cole, a Dreehouse, a Smitherman. There are lots of

1682
01:37:20,560 --> 01:37:22,720
Speaker 4: good people that are running that are not on this

1683
01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:25,439
Speaker 4: current council. Matter of fact, I would say there's an

1684
01:37:25,560 --> 01:37:28,040
Speaker 4: argument not to vote for any of them. Look for

1685
01:37:28,160 --> 01:37:30,960
Speaker 4: somebody doing something different. I mean, what do you have

1686
01:37:31,160 --> 01:37:34,719
Speaker 4: to lose, Brian Thomains. My point is we can do better.

1687
01:37:34,960 --> 01:37:37,400
Speaker 4: The election is here. The polls are not open today

1688
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:40,879
Speaker 4: because of this holiday, but they will be open again tomorrow.

1689
01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:43,439
Speaker 4: Brian Thomas, and I'm just suggesting with people are walking

1690
01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:45,960
Speaker 4: in there to vote, that give us the thumbs up.

1691
01:37:46,680 --> 01:37:49,080
Speaker 4: Us show the people that are out there standing that

1692
01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:51,680
Speaker 4: you've got a thumbs up there that you're willing to

1693
01:37:51,760 --> 01:37:56,320
Speaker 4: take a chance and do something. Please different, Brian Thomas.

1694
01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:56,800
Speaker 1: I love you.

1695
01:37:56,960 --> 01:37:59,000
Speaker 4: I know that I am way beyond my time, and

1696
01:37:59,080 --> 01:38:02,360
Speaker 4: I appreciate you. I'll be watching the debate this Wednesday.

1697
01:38:02,600 --> 01:38:05,080
Speaker 4: It's on Channel twelve, It's going to be on TV.

1698
01:38:05,479 --> 01:38:09,120
Speaker 4: This is going to be another mayorial debate. I suggest

1699
01:38:09,320 --> 01:38:13,519
Speaker 4: everybody sit back and listen to the mayor's language. Is

1700
01:38:13,600 --> 01:38:15,800
Speaker 4: he going to give us solutions or is he going

1701
01:38:15,880 --> 01:38:19,360
Speaker 4: to use divisive language just to divide us. I don't

1702
01:38:19,400 --> 01:38:21,519
Speaker 4: need any more division. I don't want a division in

1703
01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:23,840
Speaker 4: my home. I don't want it in my neighborhood where

1704
01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:26,160
Speaker 4: I live, and I certainly don't want it in my politics.

1705
01:38:26,200 --> 01:38:28,840
Speaker 4: I want somebody who has solutions, who's willing to work,

1706
01:38:28,960 --> 01:38:30,800
Speaker 4: not a show horse. I don't want to see more

1707
01:38:30,880 --> 01:38:32,840
Speaker 4: moose in his hair. I don't want to see a suit.

1708
01:38:33,080 --> 01:38:34,760
Speaker 4: I don't want to see a tie. I don't want

1709
01:38:34,800 --> 01:38:36,479
Speaker 4: to see a guy that wants to go to Washington,

1710
01:38:36,600 --> 01:38:38,880
Speaker 4: DC and not really be the mayor of the city.

1711
01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:41,920
Speaker 4: I want somebody like a John Cranley who wants to

1712
01:38:42,040 --> 01:38:45,400
Speaker 4: roll up his sleeves make hard decisions. Listen to our

1713
01:38:45,479 --> 01:38:48,000
Speaker 4: fifty two neighborhoods and get us on the right direction.

1714
01:38:48,160 --> 01:38:49,680
Speaker 4: That's what I'm looking for. And I don't care where,

1715
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:52,720
Speaker 4: what corner of the earth I get that on. I

1716
01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:55,800
Speaker 4: love Cincinnati. I've been raised. Here is where I grew up.

1717
01:38:56,040 --> 01:38:57,680
Speaker 4: I love the city and I want to see us

1718
01:38:57,720 --> 01:38:58,360
Speaker 4: on a better path.

1719
01:38:58,479 --> 01:39:03,160
Speaker 1: Love you, Brian, Thank you, Love you too. Five KRCD

Speaker 1: talk station. Uh get.

1721
01:39:05,200 --> 01:39:07,080
Speaker 5: I want to know what's happening. I know what's going

1722
01:39:07,120 --> 01:39:08,759
Speaker 5: on around town, around the country.

1723
01:39:09,080 --> 01:39:11,519
Speaker 4: I need to know the weather in traffic.

1724
01:39:11,840 --> 01:39:15,639
Speaker 1: Listen and you'll know. On fifty five KRC the talk

1725
01:39:15,720 --> 01:39:22,360
Speaker 1: station Shabato sit here at Pig five kr CD talk station.

1726
01:39:22,600 --> 01:39:26,439
Speaker 1: It's Monday. It's that time all our financials. Brian James

1727
01:39:26,520 --> 01:39:29,200
Speaker 1: giving us another edition of Money Monday, and of course

1728
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:32,040
Speaker 1: it's appointment listening for that secret group of women out

1729
01:39:32,080 --> 01:39:33,960
Speaker 1: there that Brian and I learned about. You tune in

1730
01:39:34,120 --> 01:39:37,679
Speaker 1: regularly just to cling to Brian James words on investment

1731
01:39:37,760 --> 01:39:41,200
Speaker 1: strategies and today about tariffs being up, the interest on

1732
01:39:41,240 --> 01:39:44,559
Speaker 1: our national death Doge apparently didn't accomplish much, Social Security

1733
01:39:44,680 --> 01:39:47,920
Speaker 1: and the topic we've been waiting for credit unions versus

1734
01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:50,040
Speaker 1: Banks a lot to pile in for a few segments,

1735
01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:53,000
Speaker 1: Brian James, Welcome back and Happy Monday in spite of

1736
01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:53,760
Speaker 1: the Bengals loss.

1737
01:39:54,040 --> 01:39:57,760
Speaker 10: Happy Monday, and go Mariners, including all the former Reds

1738
01:39:57,800 --> 01:39:58,880
Speaker 10: who are still playing.

1739
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:01,000
Speaker 3: That's all we have to at this point.

1740
01:40:01,320 --> 01:40:04,120
Speaker 1: Hey, you got something there, Brian, go, Luis.

1741
01:40:03,880 --> 01:40:07,760
Speaker 10: Castillo and Auhanio Suarez and a handful of other ones.

1742
01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:09,920
Speaker 3: Right, it's something that's better than nothing. Will hang on

1743
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:10,120
Speaker 3: to that.

1744
01:40:10,400 --> 01:40:13,040
Speaker 1: It is something, and something that is tariffs. I know

1745
01:40:13,560 --> 01:40:16,960
Speaker 1: so far, you know, I mean draw your conclusions whether

1746
01:40:17,120 --> 01:40:20,439
Speaker 1: we have been collectively scathed in our economy. But apparently

1747
01:40:20,479 --> 01:40:22,120
Speaker 1: at some point they say they were going to catch

1748
01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:24,240
Speaker 1: up to us, and it looks like they may be

1749
01:40:24,400 --> 01:40:27,200
Speaker 1: catching up. And I know China has just put some huge,

1750
01:40:27,439 --> 01:40:31,439
Speaker 1: huge prohibitions on the trading of the rare earth minerals

1751
01:40:31,479 --> 01:40:34,200
Speaker 1: that we rely on them almost exclusively for. So what's

1752
01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:35,639
Speaker 1: going on with the tariff Brian?

1753
01:40:36,240 --> 01:40:39,400
Speaker 10: Well, the tariffs have had their impact. So interestingly, our

1754
01:40:39,479 --> 01:40:42,519
Speaker 10: deficit is basically flat at one point eight trillion. Now

1755
01:40:42,560 --> 01:40:46,519
Speaker 10: that would be a fantastic headline in any other environment. However,

1756
01:40:46,600 --> 01:40:49,799
Speaker 10: what's happening is it's just the surge from the tariffs.

1757
01:40:49,800 --> 01:40:52,439
Speaker 10: So the cash that's coming in from that, that's keeping

1758
01:40:52,479 --> 01:40:57,000
Speaker 10: the deficit from running up. So on one hand, anytime

1759
01:40:57,080 --> 01:40:59,000
Speaker 10: the deficit doesn't increase, that would be I can't remember

1760
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:01,479
Speaker 10: the last time that was a headline. But all it

1761
01:41:01,640 --> 01:41:03,800
Speaker 10: is is the cash that's coming from these tariffs, which

1762
01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:07,880
Speaker 10: is probably somewhat temporary as the market continues to settle

1763
01:41:07,880 --> 01:41:10,799
Speaker 10: itself out as countries decide whether they're willing to continue

1764
01:41:10,880 --> 01:41:13,200
Speaker 10: or if they fight back, or if they find different

1765
01:41:13,200 --> 01:41:17,120
Speaker 10: markets entirely to sell to. So customs duties hit almost

1766
01:41:17,160 --> 01:41:20,519
Speaker 10: two hundred billion dollars, that's more than double last year,

1767
01:41:20,640 --> 01:41:23,759
Speaker 10: and it's still only three point seven percent of federal revenue.

1768
01:41:24,080 --> 01:41:27,000
Speaker 10: So Trump had the President Trump had this big goal

1769
01:41:27,080 --> 01:41:31,240
Speaker 10: of we're going to reduce income taxes, reliance on income taxes,

1770
01:41:31,280 --> 01:41:34,840
Speaker 10: and increase reliance on external taxes, meaning these tariffs. That's

1771
01:41:34,880 --> 01:41:37,240
Speaker 10: how we're going to run the country. So these tariffs,

1772
01:41:37,240 --> 01:41:40,439
Speaker 10: even now at two hundred billion from these duties, is

1773
01:41:40,479 --> 01:41:43,640
Speaker 10: still only three point seven percent of federal revenue. Individual

1774
01:41:43,720 --> 01:41:46,280
Speaker 10: income taxes still make up fifty one percent of it.

1775
01:41:46,360 --> 01:41:48,200
Speaker 10: So we got a long way to go if these

1776
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:51,120
Speaker 10: tariffs are going to truly remove our income taxes.

1777
01:41:50,800 --> 01:41:54,080
Speaker 1: Which I have bad news. They are not fair enough

1778
01:41:54,160 --> 01:41:59,080
Speaker 1: on that. I guess tariffs, by all arguments, can raise

1779
01:41:59,160 --> 01:42:01,800
Speaker 1: the price of it's here in the United States. So

1780
01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:05,040
Speaker 1: one could argue if your income tax does stay down,

1781
01:42:05,720 --> 01:42:08,040
Speaker 1: the money still has to be collected some way. This way,

1782
01:42:08,080 --> 01:42:10,519
Speaker 1: at least, anybody who buys something is kind of sharing

1783
01:42:10,560 --> 01:42:13,160
Speaker 1: in the responsibility. It's kind of like a increase in

1784
01:42:13,280 --> 01:42:15,760
Speaker 1: sales tax that deal with fewer tax dollars coming in

1785
01:42:15,800 --> 01:42:16,679
Speaker 1: by way of income tax.

1786
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:17,760
Speaker 3: It's quite literally that.

1787
01:42:17,880 --> 01:42:21,520
Speaker 10: I mean, it's no there's nothing that says that any

1788
01:42:21,720 --> 01:42:24,799
Speaker 10: company or country that is selling into the United States

1789
01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:27,160
Speaker 10: has to eat these tariffs. There are no rules that

1790
01:42:27,280 --> 01:42:29,640
Speaker 10: say that they must keep their prices the same and

1791
01:42:29,800 --> 01:42:32,400
Speaker 10: just eat the tariffs. There's really no way to put

1792
01:42:32,439 --> 01:42:34,280
Speaker 10: that in place. They can simply decide to walk away

1793
01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:36,479
Speaker 10: from the market, or they can raise their prices. It's

1794
01:42:36,520 --> 01:42:38,800
Speaker 10: really no different than you know, if you're renting an

1795
01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:42,560
Speaker 10: apartment and you feel like the landlord is going to

1796
01:42:42,600 --> 01:42:45,800
Speaker 10: bear the brunts of the property tax increases, that is

1797
01:42:45,880 --> 01:42:47,720
Speaker 10: not the case. They're simply going to raise the rent.

1798
01:42:47,960 --> 01:42:50,639
Speaker 10: The renter is the one who ultimately pays everything. That's

1799
01:42:50,680 --> 01:42:52,920
Speaker 10: why they call us consumers. We're at the bottom of

1800
01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:54,720
Speaker 10: the at the bottom of the chain, and we are

1801
01:42:54,760 --> 01:42:57,080
Speaker 10: the ones who consume all the goods and services that

1802
01:42:57,160 --> 01:42:59,479
Speaker 10: are out there, and that means we have to eat

1803
01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:01,760
Speaker 10: whatever is. The only way you can avoid these price

1804
01:43:01,840 --> 01:43:04,479
Speaker 10: increases is to truly change your lifestyle and not need

1805
01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:06,680
Speaker 10: these things anymore. And that's simply not an option for

1806
01:43:06,760 --> 01:43:08,200
Speaker 10: most of the stuff we have to deal with now.

1807
01:43:08,280 --> 01:43:09,800
Speaker 1: For most of the stuff, there are a lot of

1808
01:43:09,880 --> 01:43:12,880
Speaker 1: things on I think our collective budget margins that if

1809
01:43:12,880 --> 01:43:15,000
Speaker 1: we really gave a long, hard thought, we know we

1810
01:43:15,040 --> 01:43:17,719
Speaker 1: could do without them. So that's up to an individual

1811
01:43:17,760 --> 01:43:19,880
Speaker 1: families choices, and people are going to be forced to

1812
01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:23,360
Speaker 1: make those kind of choices. Interest revealing that the interest

1813
01:43:23,439 --> 01:43:26,400
Speaker 1: rate on our debt is now over one trillion dollars,

1814
01:43:26,560 --> 01:43:29,479
Speaker 1: meaning that is I guess more than even defense spending

1815
01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:32,600
Speaker 1: usually coming into like number one. But that's because we

1816
01:43:32,680 --> 01:43:34,759
Speaker 1: have a spending problem in government. I know Donald Trump's

1817
01:43:34,760 --> 01:43:38,240
Speaker 1: done some took some steps with the OMB on Friday

1818
01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:40,760
Speaker 1: to start firing people. But when they fire people that

1819
01:43:42,040 --> 01:43:44,200
Speaker 1: whether it impacts you and me in our day to

1820
01:43:44,280 --> 01:43:46,400
Speaker 1: day lives, it's certainly not going to be a sizable

1821
01:43:46,479 --> 01:43:49,040
Speaker 1: enough chunk of government cuts to actually accomplish something. So

1822
01:43:49,160 --> 01:43:52,240
Speaker 1: let's talk about that. But also, we had huge hopes

1823
01:43:52,320 --> 01:43:55,479
Speaker 1: for the Doge Department, and that apparently is kind of

1824
01:43:55,520 --> 01:43:57,640
Speaker 1: fizzled out. So where are we with this debt? And

1825
01:43:58,160 --> 01:43:59,479
Speaker 1: of course the DOGE cuts.

1826
01:44:00,160 --> 01:44:04,280
Speaker 10: So yeah, the big concern there with the size of debt.

1827
01:44:04,360 --> 01:44:06,760
Speaker 10: So debt is it's just like anything else. You have

1828
01:44:07,040 --> 01:44:08,439
Speaker 10: a mortgage out there, you have a bunch of credit

1829
01:44:08,479 --> 01:44:11,479
Speaker 10: card debts, then you are impacted directly by interest rates.

1830
01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:14,839
Speaker 10: And now that we're literally writing checks for a trillion

1831
01:44:14,960 --> 01:44:18,280
Speaker 10: dollars as a country, that's just for the interest. Remember

1832
01:44:18,320 --> 01:44:20,120
Speaker 10: some if we're writing a check for a trillion dollars,

1833
01:44:20,160 --> 01:44:22,320
Speaker 10: somebody might go, oh, great, we're paying down a principle.

1834
01:44:22,439 --> 01:44:22,920
Speaker 3: No we're not.

1835
01:44:23,120 --> 01:44:25,840
Speaker 10: We're simply maintaining what we already have. We are treading water.

1836
01:44:26,360 --> 01:44:29,080
Speaker 10: So that net interest of a trillion dollars is now

1837
01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:33,559
Speaker 10: bigger than medicare or defense. Based on some calculations, roughly

1838
01:44:33,600 --> 01:44:36,120
Speaker 10: about a dollar of every five dollars in revenue. And

1839
01:44:36,160 --> 01:44:38,559
Speaker 10: again remember half of that comes from our own income taxes.

1840
01:44:38,760 --> 01:44:41,160
Speaker 10: A dollar out of every five dollars goes to these

1841
01:44:41,200 --> 01:44:43,920
Speaker 10: interest payments. This is coming from the higher rates and

1842
01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:45,920
Speaker 10: the fact that we have just more debt than we've

1843
01:44:45,920 --> 01:44:49,439
Speaker 10: ever had before. Of course, so the issue here, the

1844
01:44:49,560 --> 01:44:51,920
Speaker 10: concern is that we were likely going to head into

1845
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:55,799
Speaker 10: a higher for longer type of a situation with regard

1846
01:44:55,880 --> 01:44:58,280
Speaker 10: to interest rates staying where they are. Remember, we're not

1847
01:44:58,360 --> 01:45:01,200
Speaker 10: always only talking about the Federal and what it wants

1848
01:45:01,280 --> 01:45:03,880
Speaker 10: to do with interest rates. We're often talking about what

1849
01:45:03,960 --> 01:45:06,120
Speaker 10: the market. The market has an impact on rates too,

1850
01:45:06,240 --> 01:45:10,080
Speaker 10: whatever it's sensitive to, whatever the market thinks of the

1851
01:45:10,280 --> 01:45:12,479
Speaker 10: credit quality of the United States, can it continue to

1852
01:45:12,520 --> 01:45:14,840
Speaker 10: pay its debts and so forth, that will also have

1853
01:45:14,920 --> 01:45:18,400
Speaker 10: an impact on interest rates. That means Washington is going

1854
01:45:18,479 --> 01:45:20,840
Speaker 10: to be super sensitive to interest rate moves. Even if

1855
01:45:20,880 --> 01:45:24,439
Speaker 10: the Fed makes gradual cuts, Brian, the rolling over debt

1856
01:45:24,520 --> 01:45:26,679
Speaker 10: that's still out there is going to keep these average

1857
01:45:26,720 --> 01:45:29,240
Speaker 10: interest costs elevated. And that means we need to make

1858
01:45:29,280 --> 01:45:32,040
Speaker 10: some cautious mortgage and refi assumptions, and we need to

1859
01:45:32,080 --> 01:45:34,400
Speaker 10: be stress testing our budgets for these higher rates. For

1860
01:45:34,479 --> 01:45:36,280
Speaker 10: those of you what that means out there, For those

1861
01:45:36,320 --> 01:45:39,600
Speaker 10: of you perhaps on an adjustable rate mortgage, you need

1862
01:45:39,720 --> 01:45:41,360
Speaker 10: to take a look at what that might be if

1863
01:45:41,400 --> 01:45:43,479
Speaker 10: you did it five years ago at a really low rate. Well,

1864
01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:45,320
Speaker 10: that's going to be sneaking up on you very soon.

1865
01:45:45,920 --> 01:45:47,800
Speaker 10: You need to make sure you can handle whatever the

1866
01:45:48,400 --> 01:45:50,479
Speaker 10: increased payment is going to be when that adjustable rate

1867
01:45:50,560 --> 01:45:51,360
Speaker 10: mortgage adjusts.

1868
01:45:51,520 --> 01:45:53,679
Speaker 1: Well, doesn't the interest rate that repair, I mean, doesn't

1869
01:45:53,720 --> 01:45:56,439
Speaker 1: the debt interest which we have to pay more than

1870
01:45:56,479 --> 01:45:59,880
Speaker 1: a trillion year and that keeps growing. Doesn't that necessarily

1871
01:46:00,120 --> 01:46:03,320
Speaker 1: have a restrictive force on the growth of government. I mean,

1872
01:46:03,360 --> 01:46:05,479
Speaker 1: if they're not bringing in any additional tax dollars, you

1873
01:46:05,600 --> 01:46:07,839
Speaker 1: run the risk of digging us further into a deficit

1874
01:46:07,920 --> 01:46:10,920
Speaker 1: hole which increases that trillion dollars to something north of it.

1875
01:46:11,520 --> 01:46:13,720
Speaker 1: Or you have to say, listen, we got all this

1876
01:46:13,840 --> 01:46:15,840
Speaker 1: debt service we've got to pay. We no longer can

1877
01:46:15,920 --> 01:46:18,360
Speaker 1: afford to fill in the blank. Maybe we need to

1878
01:46:18,400 --> 01:46:20,479
Speaker 1: reduce the size of that department. Maybe we just say

1879
01:46:20,560 --> 01:46:22,400
Speaker 1: no to something new by way of you know, oh,

1880
01:46:22,439 --> 01:46:25,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, expanding health care for illegal immigrants or something.

1881
01:46:25,520 --> 01:46:27,040
Speaker 1: But something's got to give. Brian.

1882
01:46:27,800 --> 01:46:30,559
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's true for any household as well as it's

1883
01:46:30,600 --> 01:46:32,800
Speaker 10: true for the for our country as a whole. And

1884
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:35,360
Speaker 10: that's that's what Doge was intended to do. Yeah, that

1885
01:46:35,439 --> 01:46:37,840
Speaker 10: didn't really quite you know, a little segue into that

1886
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:41,360
Speaker 10: topic since you mentioned it. When DOZE was originally set up,

1887
01:46:41,360 --> 01:46:44,640
Speaker 10: remember this is the Department of Governmental Efficiency run by

1888
01:46:44,680 --> 01:46:47,160
Speaker 10: Elon Musk briefly that was going to come in and

1889
01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:49,920
Speaker 10: just clean house and figure out exactly where all the

1890
01:46:49,960 --> 01:46:51,519
Speaker 10: waste is and get rid of it all. And they

1891
01:46:51,560 --> 01:46:54,720
Speaker 10: were going to achieve two trillion dollars in savings. That

1892
01:46:54,880 --> 01:46:57,439
Speaker 10: was the brochure that we all read. But so far

1893
01:46:57,560 --> 01:46:59,320
Speaker 10: that hasn't been the case. Not to mention, Elon Musk

1894
01:46:59,320 --> 01:47:01,479
Speaker 10: stepped down a few months ago and we really haven't

1895
01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:04,960
Speaker 10: heard much ever since. So total spending excluding interest rose

1896
01:47:04,960 --> 01:47:07,599
Speaker 10: about two hundred and twenty billion dollars or four percent

1897
01:47:07,720 --> 01:47:10,479
Speaker 10: for that entire year. That would have been bigger except

1898
01:47:10,479 --> 01:47:14,439
Speaker 10: for in September twenty five when the Trump administration put

1899
01:47:14,479 --> 01:47:17,920
Speaker 10: in a non cash spending reduction based on modifications to

1900
01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:18,479
Speaker 10: student loans.

1901
01:47:18,479 --> 01:47:19,599
Speaker 3: That knocked it down a little bit.

1902
01:47:19,880 --> 01:47:22,439
Speaker 10: But other than student loans, the only the only major

1903
01:47:22,479 --> 01:47:26,200
Speaker 10: categories where the Congressional Budget Office said spending actually declined

1904
01:47:26,280 --> 01:47:28,640
Speaker 10: was the FDIC, which, if you think about this, all

1905
01:47:28,720 --> 01:47:31,360
Speaker 10: that means is we didn't have scary headlines about banks failure,

1906
01:47:32,280 --> 01:47:34,000
Speaker 10: which is that's a good thing. But we can't count

1907
01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:36,720
Speaker 10: it as a victory small Business Administration because we had

1908
01:47:36,760 --> 01:47:39,080
Speaker 10: a similar situation where we didn't have to lay out

1909
01:47:39,120 --> 01:47:41,479
Speaker 10: the kind of money that we normally do for disaster

1910
01:47:41,600 --> 01:47:44,200
Speaker 10: related loans that do come out of the Small Business Administration.

1911
01:47:44,520 --> 01:47:47,160
Speaker 10: So so far, we can't really say that DOJ has

1912
01:47:47,200 --> 01:47:49,960
Speaker 10: had all that much of an impact despite the blusters

1913
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:51,000
Speaker 10: coming out of that department.

1914
01:47:51,360 --> 01:47:53,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really had some hope for that department up right.

1915
01:47:54,040 --> 01:47:56,360
Speaker 3: It made sense, right, didn't it. It sounds like something

1916
01:47:56,600 --> 01:47:58,920
Speaker 3: responsible countries do. It still does.

1917
01:47:59,240 --> 01:48:02,560
Speaker 1: I guess the question is why isn't it accomplishing what

1918
01:48:02,680 --> 01:48:04,960
Speaker 1: we had expected? It just seems so strange.

1919
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:06,799
Speaker 3: But I'll give you my opinion.

1920
01:48:06,960 --> 01:48:10,200
Speaker 10: I think my opinion is because anything that's truly going

1921
01:48:10,280 --> 01:48:13,920
Speaker 10: to fix anything involves necessarily someone telling us as a

1922
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:17,160
Speaker 10: society that we must sacrifice. I don't think that our

1923
01:48:17,200 --> 01:48:19,840
Speaker 10: current political leadership believes that we have that in us,

1924
01:48:20,080 --> 01:48:22,680
Speaker 10: And I definitely don't believe that anybody who is in

1925
01:48:22,760 --> 01:48:25,200
Speaker 10: that position to make those types of changes thinks that

1926
01:48:25,240 --> 01:48:27,599
Speaker 10: they can win a reelection the next time around.

1927
01:48:27,840 --> 01:48:32,280
Speaker 1: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the third rails of politics will

1928
01:48:32,320 --> 01:48:35,000
Speaker 1: continue with Brian James. While worth financial we'll talk about

1929
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:37,360
Speaker 1: an update on socis is security, speaking of which as

1930
01:48:37,400 --> 01:48:40,639
Speaker 1: well as credit unions versus bank topic by demand more

1931
01:48:40,720 --> 01:48:43,880
Speaker 1: with Brian James. After I mentioned Cullen Electric family in

1932
01:48:43,920 --> 01:48:47,440
Speaker 1: an operated Colin Electric Andrew Cullen is outstanding team of electricians.

1933
01:48:47,439 --> 01:48:49,040
Speaker 1: So do great work for you. They have for me

1934
01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:52,120
Speaker 1: over the years, many many, many projects, and of course

1935
01:48:52,160 --> 01:48:54,080
Speaker 1: I got a tenure wiring warranty for what they did

1936
01:48:54,120 --> 01:48:56,439
Speaker 1: for me. So will you. You'll find the customer service

1937
01:48:56,520 --> 01:48:58,479
Speaker 1: to be superior and the price is always right. So

1938
01:48:58,680 --> 01:49:01,720
Speaker 1: big projects, small project, anything in between. If it comes

1939
01:49:01,760 --> 01:49:05,760
Speaker 1: to residential electric projects, call Cullen to do that. It's

Speaker 1: Cullenelectriccincinnati dot Com. Fifty five krc It's AD eighteen here

1944
01:49:21,280 --> 01:49:24,240
Speaker 1: fifty five KRCD talk station doing that money Monday fame

1945
01:49:24,479 --> 01:49:28,000
Speaker 1: with all of financials. Brian James. All Right, I mentioned

1946
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:29,920
Speaker 1: one of the third rails of politics, something that could

1947
01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:32,040
Speaker 1: probably stand to use some reform in the name of

1948
01:49:32,120 --> 01:49:34,960
Speaker 1: saving our financial future. Here in the United States of America,

1949
01:49:35,479 --> 01:49:38,240
Speaker 1: the third rail social Security, and people always argue, I

1950
01:49:38,320 --> 01:49:40,519
Speaker 1: paid into what I paid in when I'm entitled, I'm entitled.

1951
01:49:40,560 --> 01:49:43,439
Speaker 1: But the structure of social Security doesn't really work out

1952
01:49:43,520 --> 01:49:46,519
Speaker 1: in the taxpayer's favor because people now live a hell

1953
01:49:46,680 --> 01:49:49,200
Speaker 1: a lot longer than they used to. You retire at

1954
01:49:49,320 --> 01:49:52,080
Speaker 1: say sixty two or sixty five, you're around until like

1955
01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:55,240
Speaker 1: eighty five. Now, when its Social Security started, most people

1956
01:49:55,280 --> 01:49:57,840
Speaker 1: didn't live past like late sixties, so you were only

1957
01:49:57,920 --> 01:50:00,519
Speaker 1: on it for a few years. They're also fifteen I

1958
01:50:00,560 --> 01:50:03,760
Speaker 1: think workers to every one person receiving it. That number

1959
01:50:03,800 --> 01:50:06,479
Speaker 1: has dropped precipitously, So the money that's going into the

1960
01:50:06,520 --> 01:50:08,920
Speaker 1: program is a lot less than it used to. It

1961
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:11,240
Speaker 1: sounds like it needs some sort of reform. Brian James.

1962
01:50:11,320 --> 01:50:12,959
Speaker 1: Where are we on social security?

1963
01:50:14,280 --> 01:50:16,600
Speaker 3: So where we are on social Security? There is a

1964
01:50:16,680 --> 01:50:18,040
Speaker 3: hole in the bucket. Brian Thomas.

1965
01:50:18,280 --> 01:50:21,320
Speaker 10: The math doesn't quite math very well. And this has

1966
01:50:21,360 --> 01:50:24,080
Speaker 10: everything to do with what you had mentioned, of course,

1967
01:50:24,120 --> 01:50:26,160
Speaker 10: with people living longer and so forth. It used to

1968
01:50:26,200 --> 01:50:28,800
Speaker 10: be you'd live maybe three five years and get soci

1969
01:50:28,800 --> 01:50:31,960
Speaker 10: security payments. Now there's thirty years worth of that. Along

1970
01:50:32,040 --> 01:50:34,920
Speaker 10: the way, we have added enhanced benefits for spouses, which

1971
01:50:34,920 --> 01:50:37,080
Speaker 10: I don't think is a bad thing, because you can't

1972
01:50:37,120 --> 01:50:39,960
Speaker 10: ice your spouse out or your ex spouse or whatever.

1973
01:50:41,200 --> 01:50:44,240
Speaker 10: We have to have some kind of safety net for

1974
01:50:44,320 --> 01:50:47,360
Speaker 10: those folks who maybe didn't have their own earnings record

1975
01:50:47,360 --> 01:50:49,320
Speaker 10: because they were home raising kids and then a divorce happened,

1976
01:50:49,320 --> 01:50:51,160
Speaker 10: all that kind of stuff. Those kinds of things, as

1977
01:50:51,200 --> 01:50:54,519
Speaker 10: well as the eight percent increase in delayed retirement credits,

1978
01:50:54,560 --> 01:50:57,240
Speaker 10: which simply means if you don't file for it, you

1979
01:50:57,320 --> 01:51:00,080
Speaker 10: get an eight percent increase. Before nineteen seventy seven, and

1980
01:51:00,160 --> 01:51:04,200
Speaker 10: that was one percent per year, and then in nineteen

1981
01:51:04,240 --> 01:51:06,960
Speaker 10: seventy seven through nineteen eighty three they basically locked in

1982
01:51:07,040 --> 01:51:09,479
Speaker 10: an eight percent increase for anyone who was born in

1983
01:51:09,560 --> 01:51:12,120
Speaker 10: nineteen forty three or later, which is essentially everybody who's

1984
01:51:12,120 --> 01:51:15,000
Speaker 10: thinking about this right now. So basically, by two thousand

1985
01:51:15,040 --> 01:51:18,160
Speaker 10: and eight, everybody reaching seventy aged seventy had access to

1986
01:51:18,240 --> 01:51:21,840
Speaker 10: that full eight percent annual delayed retirement increase. Remember this

1987
01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:23,800
Speaker 10: is if I'm sixty two and I choose not to

1988
01:51:23,920 --> 01:51:26,040
Speaker 10: file for it, my payment's going to go up by

1989
01:51:26,080 --> 01:51:28,360
Speaker 10: a full eight percent. That has nothing to do with inflation,

1990
01:51:28,560 --> 01:51:30,880
Speaker 10: nothing to do with interest rates. It's just a codified,

1991
01:51:31,040 --> 01:51:35,000
Speaker 10: concrete eight percent mathematical increase. So those are the reasons

1992
01:51:35,040 --> 01:51:37,280
Speaker 10: that the math don't math. But let's talk about where

1993
01:51:37,280 --> 01:51:39,840
Speaker 10: we are right now. So we've had a we get

1994
01:51:40,160 --> 01:51:42,760
Speaker 10: every so often we get a new Trustees report, and

1995
01:51:42,880 --> 01:51:46,080
Speaker 10: earlier this year, the twenty twenty five report showed that

1996
01:51:46,280 --> 01:51:48,640
Speaker 10: the full benefits are projected to be payable only for

1997
01:51:48,720 --> 01:51:52,040
Speaker 10: about nine more years without adjustments, trust funds expected to

1998
01:51:52,080 --> 01:51:54,360
Speaker 10: be depleted by twenty thirty four. Now I want to

1999
01:51:54,439 --> 01:51:57,360
Speaker 10: unpack that because somebody just heard me say that Social

2000
01:51:57,400 --> 01:51:59,760
Speaker 10: Security is going away in twenty thirty four.

2001
01:52:00,120 --> 01:52:02,320
Speaker 1: Is not No, they didn't hear that. They weren't listening

2002
01:52:02,400 --> 01:52:04,679
Speaker 1: to the words you use, Brian James exactly.

2003
01:52:04,760 --> 01:52:08,400
Speaker 10: Words are important, aren't they, Brian Thomas. So what this means, though,

2004
01:52:08,600 --> 01:52:11,360
Speaker 10: is the trust fund reserves. What that means is that

2005
01:52:11,400 --> 01:52:13,800
Speaker 10: we're simply bringing in more than more than we're paying

2006
01:52:13,840 --> 01:52:15,680
Speaker 10: out currently, and that situation is going to last for

2007
01:52:15,800 --> 01:52:17,960
Speaker 10: nine more years. I will be sitting in this chair

2008
01:52:18,680 --> 01:52:21,360
Speaker 10: in twenty thirty four, and my paycheck at that time

2009
01:52:21,479 --> 01:52:23,519
Speaker 10: will have a FIKA entry on it which is how

2010
01:52:23,640 --> 01:52:27,280
Speaker 10: taxes are extracted from my paycheck and sent directly to beneficiaries.

2011
01:52:27,520 --> 01:52:29,680
Speaker 10: The point of all that is that FICA taxes right

2012
01:52:29,720 --> 01:52:32,200
Speaker 10: now are more than what is actually being paid out

2013
01:52:32,200 --> 01:52:35,200
Speaker 10: to beneficiaries. But that amount that surplus goes down every year.

2014
01:52:35,439 --> 01:52:38,320
Speaker 10: It's got nine years left, so is it going to zero?

2015
01:52:38,640 --> 01:52:38,680
Speaker 5: No?

2016
01:52:39,040 --> 01:52:41,720
Speaker 10: But if they change nothing, then the current estimate is

2017
01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:44,559
Speaker 10: that Social Security is incoming revenue from those FICA taxes

2018
01:52:44,680 --> 01:52:47,000
Speaker 10: or otherwise known as payroll taxes, that's going to cover

2019
01:52:47,160 --> 01:52:50,240
Speaker 10: only about eighty one percent of scheduled benefits. Meaning if

2020
01:52:50,320 --> 01:52:53,360
Speaker 10: you go to SSA dot gov and set up your

2021
01:52:53,479 --> 01:52:57,599
Speaker 10: my Social Security profile, then you should knock off, say

2022
01:52:57,680 --> 01:53:00,479
Speaker 10: twenty percent of whatever that report tells you if you

2023
01:53:00,560 --> 01:53:01,599
Speaker 10: want to adjust your plan.

2024
01:53:01,640 --> 01:53:02,439
Speaker 3: I would do it both ways.

2025
01:53:02,479 --> 01:53:04,519
Speaker 10: Run your plan with the original numbers and then run

2026
01:53:04,600 --> 01:53:06,840
Speaker 10: it again with a twenty percent reduction in your Social

2027
01:53:06,920 --> 01:53:09,200
Speaker 10: Security just so you can see what the impact might be.

2028
01:53:09,439 --> 01:53:12,240
Speaker 1: Well, and a financial planner will do those number crunches

2029
01:53:12,280 --> 01:53:14,160
Speaker 1: for you, right. I mean, you can put any scenario

2030
01:53:14,240 --> 01:53:16,920
Speaker 1: into your like thousand point you know what the future

2031
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:18,479
Speaker 1: might look like program correct?

2032
01:53:18,640 --> 01:53:18,760
Speaker 5: Oh?

2033
01:53:18,800 --> 01:53:21,360
Speaker 10: Absolutely, this is just one topic. You know, we might

2034
01:53:21,439 --> 01:53:23,400
Speaker 10: even rephrase this and just say, hey, look, look what

2035
01:53:23,479 --> 01:53:25,719
Speaker 10: if you spend twenty percent more than you think you're spending.

2036
01:53:25,920 --> 01:53:27,040
Speaker 3: This is just the math part.

2037
01:53:27,439 --> 01:53:30,080
Speaker 10: The things that the little stories and anecdotes that trigger

2038
01:53:30,200 --> 01:53:32,280
Speaker 10: the math is what gets our attention. But the math

2039
01:53:32,400 --> 01:53:33,200
Speaker 10: is still just math.

2040
01:53:33,479 --> 01:53:36,759
Speaker 1: Well, and we've all been warned about this. That sheet

2041
01:53:36,880 --> 01:53:39,400
Speaker 1: you get annually from Social Security telling you what your

2042
01:53:39,920 --> 01:53:43,680
Speaker 1: expected payment will be given when you retire, whether it's

2043
01:53:43,720 --> 01:53:46,160
Speaker 1: sixty two, sixty five, or you hold off till later.

2044
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:48,680
Speaker 1: It always it says right there on the front, this

2045
01:53:48,800 --> 01:53:50,719
Speaker 1: is not a guarantee you're going to get the money.

2046
01:53:51,040 --> 01:53:53,559
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, hey, here's a flag you might

2047
01:53:53,600 --> 01:53:55,839
Speaker 1: not want to count on this because our elected officials

2048
01:53:55,880 --> 01:53:57,799
Speaker 1: don't do anything to try to salvage the program.

2049
01:53:58,080 --> 01:53:59,960
Speaker 3: That's right, So let's talk about that a little bit.

2050
01:54:00,160 --> 01:54:03,640
Speaker 3: So it's it's not that we don't try to fix it.

2051
01:54:03,760 --> 01:54:05,680
Speaker 10: It's that it's that we just are not in a

2052
01:54:05,760 --> 01:54:07,800
Speaker 10: political mood and I don't see it coming anytime soon

2053
01:54:07,920 --> 01:54:10,759
Speaker 10: where we are willing to make the sacrifices that are necessary.

2054
01:54:11,120 --> 01:54:14,120
Speaker 10: So there were we did this a study of just

2055
01:54:14,160 --> 01:54:16,880
Speaker 10: a few weeks ago, and there have been one hundred

2056
01:54:16,920 --> 01:54:19,600
Speaker 10: and forty three different attempts to that have hit the

2057
01:54:19,640 --> 01:54:22,840
Speaker 10: floor of Congress to hopefully fix this problem. But every

2058
01:54:22,960 --> 01:54:25,519
Speaker 10: last one of them is some flavor of either reducing

2059
01:54:25,600 --> 01:54:29,320
Speaker 10: benefits on current retirees or increasing taxes on workers. There's

2060
01:54:29,360 --> 01:54:31,920
Speaker 10: a million ways you can do that, but that's all

2061
01:54:31,960 --> 01:54:33,920
Speaker 10: we're all we're doing here. You have to trust adjust

2062
01:54:33,960 --> 01:54:36,520
Speaker 10: the inflows or the outflows period, end of story. We

2063
01:54:36,640 --> 01:54:39,120
Speaker 10: are not at a place where we're willing to allow

2064
01:54:39,320 --> 01:54:41,520
Speaker 10: either side to win. It's very easy to shoot this

2065
01:54:41,560 --> 01:54:44,080
Speaker 10: stuff out of the sky. Democrats come with, let's raise

2066
01:54:44,120 --> 01:54:46,720
Speaker 10: taxes on workers. Republicans say, you can't do that. These

2067
01:54:46,760 --> 01:54:49,920
Speaker 10: people work too hard. Republicans come with, let's lower the benefits,

2068
01:54:49,960 --> 01:54:52,080
Speaker 10: and Democrats say, you can't do that. These people work

2069
01:54:52,120 --> 01:54:55,120
Speaker 10: for these dollars, and it gets shot down instantaneously. That's

2070
01:54:55,160 --> 01:54:57,000
Speaker 10: the cycle that we're in, and I'm going to predict

2071
01:54:57,040 --> 01:54:58,200
Speaker 10: we're going to be in it for most of the

2072
01:54:58,280 --> 01:55:00,720
Speaker 10: next decade until our backs are again the wall. Brian,

2073
01:55:00,920 --> 01:55:03,560
Speaker 10: and we have no choice except to elect somebody who

2074
01:55:03,640 --> 01:55:05,280
Speaker 10: will actually speak to us like adults.

2075
01:55:05,360 --> 01:55:06,160
Speaker 3: We're not ready to do that.

2076
01:55:06,360 --> 01:55:08,440
Speaker 1: We're not ready to do that. Eight twenty four. Right, Now,

2077
01:55:08,520 --> 01:55:10,360
Speaker 1: take a minute early break because we're going to get

2078
01:55:10,360 --> 01:55:13,919
Speaker 1: two credit unions versus bank by request. Topic will continue

2079
01:55:13,960 --> 01:55:17,320
Speaker 1: with Brian James after these brief words. Fifty five krc

2080
01:55:17,960 --> 01:55:18,720
Speaker 1: the simply.

2081
01:55:18,480 --> 01:55:21,280
Speaker 4: My five KRCD talk station.

2082
01:55:23,440 --> 01:55:27,200
Speaker 1: Eight twenty eight to fifty five KRCD talk station buy

2083
01:55:27,360 --> 01:55:30,960
Speaker 1: request topics you can do those and a lot of

2084
01:55:31,000 --> 01:55:32,600
Speaker 1: folks wanted to know what the difference is between a

2085
01:55:32,640 --> 01:55:34,800
Speaker 1: credit union and a bank, and Brian James from all

2086
01:55:34,840 --> 01:55:37,080
Speaker 1: Worth Financial is gonna dive on into the details on that.

2087
01:55:37,160 --> 01:55:39,760
Speaker 1: I've always enjoyed banking with Emery now share facts over

2088
01:55:39,760 --> 01:55:42,800
Speaker 1: the years, Brian, most notably the wonderful experience of being

2089
01:55:42,800 --> 01:55:45,680
Speaker 1: able to refinance my house by just signing a single

2090
01:55:45,720 --> 01:55:48,480
Speaker 1: sheet of paper, not going through the whole process of refinancing,

2091
01:55:48,560 --> 01:55:50,920
Speaker 1: not having to pay a dime. The rates dropped. They

2092
01:55:51,000 --> 01:55:53,080
Speaker 1: had a paper that said, okay, you went from what

2093
01:55:53,400 --> 01:55:56,440
Speaker 1: four down to three? My signature, boom, my rate was

2094
01:55:56,480 --> 01:55:59,160
Speaker 1: down to three. They keep the paper in house at

2095
01:55:59,240 --> 01:56:02,000
Speaker 1: least at in share facts and I like that. That's

2096
01:56:02,080 --> 01:56:03,919
Speaker 1: one thing that I know from personal experience.

2097
01:56:04,320 --> 01:56:07,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, simplified processes, those kinds of things, there's pros and

2098
01:56:07,400 --> 01:56:10,240
Speaker 10: cons to each one of them. Of course, but I

2099
01:56:10,280 --> 01:56:12,120
Speaker 10: do want to shout out a quick thanks to our

2100
01:56:12,240 --> 01:56:16,520
Speaker 10: our mysterious listener group of females who are interested in

2101
01:56:16,680 --> 01:56:18,800
Speaker 10: financial topics and apparently have been listening to us for

2102
01:56:18,840 --> 01:56:22,080
Speaker 10: a long time. And good lady Pacific question, thank you

2103
01:56:22,160 --> 01:56:25,080
Speaker 10: again for listening, and let's dive into this. So, okay,

2104
01:56:25,240 --> 01:56:27,360
Speaker 10: banks versus credit unions. At the end of the day,

2105
01:56:27,600 --> 01:56:30,360
Speaker 10: if you need loans, checking accounts, savings depository, you're not

2106
01:56:30,360 --> 01:56:33,240
Speaker 10: going to notice much difference. Functionally, they are pretty much

2107
01:56:33,320 --> 01:56:35,760
Speaker 10: the same. So the difference is between them. So a

2108
01:56:35,840 --> 01:56:38,960
Speaker 10: bank is a for profit entity. They're owned by the shareholders,

2109
01:56:39,000 --> 01:56:41,280
Speaker 10: and the goal, like any other business, as a generator

2110
01:56:41,320 --> 01:56:44,640
Speaker 10: return for those owners. Having spent two fifteen years in

2111
01:56:44,680 --> 01:56:47,280
Speaker 10: the banking industry, I can assure you that the customers

2112
01:56:47,360 --> 01:56:51,280
Speaker 10: come third, shareholders first, regulator second, and then we'll get

2113
01:56:51,320 --> 01:56:53,400
Speaker 10: around to worrying for the customers. This isn't I'm not

2114
01:56:53,720 --> 01:56:56,959
Speaker 10: painting the banks and a bad bed light. It's just reality.

2115
01:56:57,360 --> 01:56:59,480
Speaker 10: If you've got shareholders out there, they come first. Because

2116
01:56:59,520 --> 01:57:03,000
Speaker 10: we are the United States of profit. Profit margin credit unions,

2117
01:57:03,040 --> 01:57:05,880
Speaker 10: on the other hand, are nonprofit financial cooperatives. They are

2118
01:57:05,920 --> 01:57:08,080
Speaker 10: owned by their members. The members do want their profits,

2119
01:57:08,120 --> 01:57:11,320
Speaker 10: but they come in the form of the dividends. That's

2120
01:57:11,360 --> 01:57:12,760
Speaker 10: why if you if for those of you who have

2121
01:57:12,800 --> 01:57:15,200
Speaker 10: a credit union account and a bank account, the way

2122
01:57:15,280 --> 01:57:18,400
Speaker 10: that they label those interest payments is a little bit different. Yeah,

2123
01:57:18,440 --> 01:57:21,040
Speaker 10: the banks will call it a you know, an interest payment.

2124
01:57:21,440 --> 01:57:23,480
Speaker 10: Credit unions will call it like a share or something

2125
01:57:23,560 --> 01:57:25,520
Speaker 10: like that. Exact are the owner of it as an

2126
01:57:25,520 --> 01:57:28,360
Speaker 10: account holder. So that's why the difference. Now, if any

2127
01:57:28,400 --> 01:57:33,080
Speaker 10: one of them was mathematically, you know, identifiably calculably more

2128
01:57:33,160 --> 01:57:35,520
Speaker 10: beneficial than the other in terms of really low interest

2129
01:57:35,600 --> 01:57:37,920
Speaker 10: rates and really high depository rates, then the other would

2130
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:40,240
Speaker 10: not exist. It doesn't work that way, So don't look

2131
01:57:40,320 --> 01:57:42,560
Speaker 10: for massive opportunities one direction or the other.

2132
01:57:43,480 --> 01:57:46,200
Speaker 3: So, but let's talk about what is the difference here.

2133
01:57:46,280 --> 01:57:49,000
Speaker 10: So first and foremost, safety first, if you've got a

2134
01:57:49,080 --> 01:57:50,600
Speaker 10: pile of money somewhere, you want to know it's going

2135
01:57:50,640 --> 01:57:52,600
Speaker 10: to be there. If you're holding money in a bank,

2136
01:57:52,680 --> 01:57:55,720
Speaker 10: that's of course ensured by the fdi C. But at

2137
01:57:55,720 --> 01:57:58,280
Speaker 10: a credit union there is a similar organization that most

2138
01:57:58,280 --> 01:58:01,920
Speaker 10: people aren't familiar with. It's called the ENDS, the National

2139
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:05,640
Speaker 10: Credit Union Association, and it pretty much serves the same purpose.

2140
01:58:05,360 --> 01:58:05,960
Speaker 3: As the FDI.

2141
01:58:06,080 --> 01:58:08,960
Speaker 10: See, even those coverage limits are pretty much the same.

2142
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:12,120
Speaker 10: It's two hundred and fifty thousand dollars per institution, per

2143
01:58:12,280 --> 01:58:14,960
Speaker 10: account category. Right, there's lots of games you can play

2144
01:58:14,960 --> 01:58:17,320
Speaker 10: with that. On both sides. You can have an individual account,

2145
01:58:17,360 --> 01:58:19,360
Speaker 10: you can have a joint account with your spouse, you

2146
01:58:19,440 --> 01:58:22,360
Speaker 10: can have accounts that are have your kids listened as beneficiaries.

2147
01:58:22,440 --> 01:58:24,040
Speaker 10: Each of those has its own two hundred and fifty

2148
01:58:24,040 --> 01:58:26,680
Speaker 10: thousand dollars coverage. But the point is your money is

2149
01:58:27,160 --> 01:58:30,160
Speaker 10: largely no more safe in one versus the other. It's

2150
01:58:30,240 --> 01:58:33,320
Speaker 10: just different organizations that are backing that up.

2151
01:58:34,480 --> 01:58:37,400
Speaker 1: Well. And I know the credit union, you're considered an owner,

2152
01:58:37,560 --> 01:58:40,000
Speaker 1: a shareholder. Going back to your point about shares, that

2153
01:58:40,680 --> 01:58:43,680
Speaker 1: that that's your slice of the part. That's how like,

2154
01:58:43,760 --> 01:58:47,680
Speaker 1: for example, in my refinancing situation, yes, the credit union

2155
01:58:47,880 --> 01:58:52,560
Speaker 1: collective is making less money and interest payment on the loan,

2156
01:58:52,720 --> 01:58:55,720
Speaker 1: but everybody benefits from the lower interest rate, which is

2157
01:58:55,800 --> 01:58:58,160
Speaker 1: why you're making less of a profit. So you're getting

2158
01:58:58,160 --> 01:58:59,920
Speaker 1: three percent when you used to get four or five.

2159
01:59:00,640 --> 01:59:02,960
Speaker 1: The mortgage would have required you to continue to pay

2160
01:59:03,040 --> 01:59:05,200
Speaker 1: that higher interest rate, which of course in yours to

2161
01:59:05,280 --> 01:59:07,840
Speaker 1: the bank's benefit, which is why. I guess they charge

2162
01:59:07,880 --> 01:59:10,840
Speaker 1: you to go through the refinancing process. But it's just

2163
01:59:10,880 --> 01:59:14,120
Speaker 1: a nice little perk being a quote unquote shareholder or owner.

2164
01:59:14,640 --> 01:59:14,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2165
01:59:14,880 --> 01:59:17,800
Speaker 10: Absolutely, And if if you're truly about the if you

2166
01:59:17,880 --> 01:59:22,240
Speaker 10: want to know where the money's flowing, you got me,

2167
01:59:22,360 --> 01:59:24,040
Speaker 10: Mike died there. Y, Yes, you said flowing.

2168
01:59:24,120 --> 01:59:26,440
Speaker 1: I got all that. Where the money is flowing, go ahead.

2169
01:59:26,320 --> 01:59:27,280
Speaker 3: Where the money's going.

2170
01:59:27,360 --> 01:59:29,720
Speaker 10: And you can literally participate if you if you want,

2171
01:59:29,800 --> 01:59:31,840
Speaker 10: you can run to be a trustee of the of

2172
01:59:31,920 --> 01:59:33,720
Speaker 10: the credit union and you could really get into the

2173
01:59:33,800 --> 01:59:35,320
Speaker 10: into the dirt of how this stuff works.

2174
01:59:35,360 --> 01:59:37,240
Speaker 3: You can't really do that with with your big publicly

2175
01:59:37,280 --> 01:59:38,160
Speaker 3: traded banks.

2176
01:59:38,080 --> 01:59:39,120
Speaker 1: Unless you buy shares.

2177
01:59:39,800 --> 01:59:41,440
Speaker 10: Yes, but you've got to buy an awful lot of shares.

2178
01:59:41,600 --> 01:59:43,080
Speaker 10: You're going to get invited to that table.

2179
01:59:44,360 --> 01:59:45,560
Speaker 3: So so and this isn't you know.

2180
01:59:45,640 --> 01:59:47,520
Speaker 10: I feel like we're leaning toward the credit union side

2181
01:59:47,560 --> 01:59:50,280
Speaker 10: pretty strongly there and that those are the good reasons.

2182
01:59:50,320 --> 01:59:52,400
Speaker 10: A little more transparency and you can be you can

2183
01:59:52,480 --> 01:59:54,920
Speaker 10: be a little lot more comfortable that the decisions that

2184
01:59:54,960 --> 01:59:57,120
Speaker 10: are being made are really for your benefit because they're

2185
01:59:57,120 --> 01:59:59,840
Speaker 10: being made by other members just like you versus a

2186
02:00:00,040 --> 02:00:02,680
Speaker 10: board of directors who is really only focused on the

2187
02:00:02,800 --> 02:00:05,480
Speaker 10: on the shareholders. Now, So what's the downside of a

2188
02:00:05,520 --> 02:00:07,720
Speaker 10: credit US. Well, in a lot of cases, you're going

2189
02:00:07,800 --> 02:00:10,320
Speaker 10: to be giving up some on say technology. They're not

2190
02:00:10,360 --> 02:00:14,200
Speaker 10: going to have the flashiest internet interfaces and mobile apps

2191
02:00:14,200 --> 02:00:16,480
Speaker 10: out there, and that's I do enjoy that use. I

2192
02:00:16,640 --> 02:00:18,480
Speaker 10: use my mobile banking apps all the time because I

2193
02:00:18,520 --> 02:00:20,600
Speaker 10: don't want to see the inside of a bank branch. Ever, again,

2194
02:00:21,480 --> 02:00:24,600
Speaker 10: bigger banks, of course, will have wider branch and ATM

2195
02:00:24,760 --> 02:00:28,520
Speaker 10: networks where credit unions often will will participate in some

2196
02:00:28,680 --> 02:00:30,800
Speaker 10: kind of shared arrangement with some other network that you

2197
02:00:30,880 --> 02:00:31,680
Speaker 10: might not be familiar with.

2198
02:00:31,760 --> 02:00:32,800
Speaker 3: Don't let that rule it out.

2199
02:00:32,920 --> 02:00:35,200
Speaker 10: Do the research if you if it's a little tiny

2200
02:00:35,280 --> 02:00:38,080
Speaker 10: credit union that you're not all that familiar with, understand

2201
02:00:38,200 --> 02:00:40,720
Speaker 10: what that ATM network looks like and you can figure out.

2202
02:00:40,760 --> 02:00:42,520
Speaker 10: You know a lot of them will have places in

2203
02:00:42,880 --> 02:00:47,280
Speaker 10: random store chains like UDF or or that's P and C.

2204
02:00:47,440 --> 02:00:50,040
Speaker 10: But but some of the gas station chains will have

2205
02:00:50,240 --> 02:00:53,800
Speaker 10: some financial organization you've never heard of, and your local tiny,

2206
02:00:53,880 --> 02:00:55,600
Speaker 10: little credit union may be a member of that. So

2207
02:00:55,880 --> 02:00:57,920
Speaker 10: you don't necessarily have to rely on all they've only

2208
02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:00,080
Speaker 10: got three branches, so therefore I only have three eighty.

2209
02:01:00,360 --> 02:01:03,120
Speaker 10: That's not how that works. But on the other hand,

2210
02:01:03,880 --> 02:01:08,200
Speaker 10: you're not going to have as much flexibility on promotional bonuses,

2211
02:01:08,280 --> 02:01:10,760
Speaker 10: right because banks are publicly traded entities. They want to

2212
02:01:10,800 --> 02:01:12,880
Speaker 10: be able to show they're bringing on new customers all

2213
02:01:12,880 --> 02:01:15,320
Speaker 10: the time. You'll get better bonuses for opening new accounts.

2214
02:01:15,640 --> 02:01:18,880
Speaker 10: We talked about the more sophisticated online stuff, you're never

2215
02:01:19,000 --> 02:01:23,160
Speaker 10: going to see, for example, a fantastic credit card reward

2216
02:01:23,320 --> 02:01:25,520
Speaker 10: program coming out of a credit union. You won't get

2217
02:01:25,560 --> 02:01:27,600
Speaker 10: that that's going to come out of your publicly traded banks,

2218
02:01:27,600 --> 02:01:29,840
Speaker 10: who have a lot more resources to do things like

2219
02:01:29,920 --> 02:01:33,040
Speaker 10: that to drive business, and they have different incentives to

2220
02:01:33,160 --> 02:01:35,520
Speaker 10: go drive new business and bring in new customers than

2221
02:01:35,560 --> 02:01:37,480
Speaker 10: a credit union does. So the different things that there

2222
02:01:37,520 --> 02:01:39,320
Speaker 10: are differences in the things that they will do to

2223
02:01:39,400 --> 02:01:40,520
Speaker 10: attract you in the first place.

2224
02:01:40,640 --> 02:01:42,720
Speaker 1: Great, so you've given out a list of items, do

2225
02:01:42,800 --> 02:01:45,040
Speaker 1: your work, do your homework, do the math, and figure

2226
02:01:45,040 --> 02:01:47,360
Speaker 1: out what is in your best interest because it could

2227
02:01:47,360 --> 02:01:48,720
Speaker 1: be a big bank, but it also could be a

2228
02:01:48,760 --> 02:01:52,280
Speaker 1: federal credit union, depending upon you know where your desires

2229
02:01:52,400 --> 02:01:54,480
Speaker 1: lie and you know the interest rates that you're paying

2230
02:01:54,480 --> 02:01:57,080
Speaker 1: in that kind of thing. Appreciate the breakdown Brian James

2231
02:01:57,160 --> 02:01:59,720
Speaker 1: is very helpful exercise. And of course I appreciate the

2232
02:01:59,760 --> 02:02:02,080
Speaker 1: comment station we have every week, and salute to the

2233
02:02:02,160 --> 02:02:05,440
Speaker 1: ladies group that listens every Monday and Monday intently to

Speaker 3: I appreciate it. Thanks for the time, and thank you ladies.

Speaker 1: Casey Morning Show. You know him, I know him, and

2241
02:02:24,320 --> 02:02:26,480
Speaker 1: he is now an author of the book Under Siege,

2242
02:02:26,560 --> 02:02:29,600
Speaker 1: My Family's Fight to Save the Nation by my guest.

2243
02:02:29,760 --> 02:02:33,240
Speaker 1: Eric Trump, Yes, the executive vice president of the Trump Organization,

2244
02:02:33,440 --> 02:02:35,960
Speaker 1: leading the global operations one of the most iconic real

2245
02:02:36,080 --> 02:02:40,360
Speaker 1: estate empires in the world overseas. The expansive portfolio including

2246
02:02:40,400 --> 02:02:42,360
Speaker 1: the Trump Hotels, Trump Golf. You can go on and

2247
02:02:42,440 --> 02:02:44,720
Speaker 1: on and on about the real estate holdings. He is

2248
02:02:44,800 --> 02:02:48,000
Speaker 1: responsible for the company's expansion into emerging industries. He also

2249
02:02:48,160 --> 02:02:50,480
Speaker 1: happens to be the target of a lot of political

2250
02:02:50,560 --> 02:02:52,800
Speaker 1: attacks and just by virtue of his membership of the

2251
02:02:52,800 --> 02:02:55,080
Speaker 1: Trump family. That's what the book about. At least I

2252
02:02:55,120 --> 02:02:56,760
Speaker 1: understand Eric Trump. It's great to have you on the

2253
02:02:56,800 --> 02:03:01,520
Speaker 1: fifty five Casey Morning shows. I sat here and contemplated

2254
02:03:01,720 --> 02:03:04,760
Speaker 1: the last say ten years, and I guess you've lived

2255
02:03:04,840 --> 02:03:08,800
Speaker 1: with this microscope focus your entire life. I mean, would

2256
02:03:08,840 --> 02:03:11,480
Speaker 1: that be accurate before the Trump political era came in?

2257
02:03:11,840 --> 02:03:14,760
Speaker 11: Yeah, but never anything like this. Brian and a'moso honored

2258
02:03:14,760 --> 02:03:16,760
Speaker 11: the book. You know, Underseags went to number one on Amazon.

2259
02:03:16,840 --> 02:03:19,320
Speaker 11: It's doing incredible. And then clearly people are you know,

2260
02:03:19,400 --> 02:03:21,240
Speaker 11: clearly people in the country and making a statement because

2261
02:03:21,280 --> 02:03:22,520
Speaker 11: so many of us have been targeted. It's not just

2262
02:03:22,560 --> 02:03:24,480
Speaker 11: Trump family. I mean, Underseage is kind of the story

2263
02:03:24,520 --> 02:03:27,040
Speaker 11: of this entire country, the entire Magat movement, all of us,

2264
02:03:27,040 --> 02:03:29,760
Speaker 11: I mean all of us were deep platforms, debanks, and

2265
02:03:29,840 --> 02:03:31,880
Speaker 11: mean the second my father went down that escalator, it

2266
02:03:31,920 --> 02:03:34,640
Speaker 11: took twelve minutes before the Washington Post wrote wrote an article,

2267
02:03:34,720 --> 02:03:37,600
Speaker 11: this is when the impeachment of Donald Trump began. And they,

2268
02:03:37,960 --> 02:03:40,320
Speaker 11: I mean they did everything right. They impeached him twice.

2269
02:03:40,360 --> 02:03:42,880
Speaker 11: They made up the dirty dot CAAs they you know,

2270
02:03:43,280 --> 02:03:45,560
Speaker 11: accused us of having secret servers in the basement of

2271
02:03:45,600 --> 02:03:49,680
Speaker 11: Trump Tower communicating with the Kremlin in Russia. They weaponized

2272
02:03:49,680 --> 02:03:52,280
Speaker 11: every DA and every age, whether it's in New York

2273
02:03:52,320 --> 02:03:56,240
Speaker 11: City or Washington, Dcor or Fulton County, Georgia, they weaponized

2274
02:03:56,280 --> 02:03:58,400
Speaker 11: all of them against our family and my father. I mean,

2275
02:03:58,440 --> 02:04:00,720
Speaker 11: they took him off the ballot in Maine, they took

2276
02:04:00,800 --> 02:04:02,800
Speaker 11: him off the ballot in Colorado. They stripped him of

2277
02:04:02,800 --> 02:04:05,240
Speaker 11: all his social media. I mean, if you tried to

2278
02:04:05,320 --> 02:04:07,720
Speaker 11: type in Trump into YouTube, you couldn't find him. And

2279
02:04:07,760 --> 02:04:09,640
Speaker 11: they threw him off of Twitter, and threw him off

2280
02:04:09,680 --> 02:04:12,040
Speaker 11: of x and threw him off of Facebook. I became

2281
02:04:12,080 --> 02:04:14,720
Speaker 11: the most impement person in American history. I've never gotten

2282
02:04:14,720 --> 02:04:17,880
Speaker 11: so much as a traffic ticket. They did everything they

2283
02:04:17,960 --> 02:04:20,640
Speaker 11: could to destroy our family. They raided mar Alago, they

2284
02:04:20,720 --> 02:04:24,640
Speaker 11: raided Milania's room, they raided Baron's room, and then they

2285
02:04:24,720 --> 02:04:26,600
Speaker 11: tried to kill him in Butler, Pennsylvania. And then they

2286
02:04:26,640 --> 02:04:28,800
Speaker 11: tried to kill him again, you know, eight weeks later

2287
02:04:29,000 --> 02:04:31,760
Speaker 11: at the golf course in Florida. They tried to put

2288
02:04:31,800 --> 02:04:34,400
Speaker 11: our family and our country under siege because they didn't

2289
02:04:34,480 --> 02:04:36,080
Speaker 11: like what my father was saying, and they didn't like

2290
02:04:36,120 --> 02:04:38,200
Speaker 11: the fact that we had created the greatest political movement

2291
02:04:38,240 --> 02:04:41,200
Speaker 11: in history. And Brian, the story had to be told.

2292
02:04:41,320 --> 02:04:43,600
Speaker 11: It had to be told from kind of an insider view,

2293
02:04:44,160 --> 02:04:45,840
Speaker 11: as a guy sitting in the courtroom, as a guy

2294
02:04:45,920 --> 02:04:49,360
Speaker 11: receiving those subpoenas, as a guy fighting like hell for

2295
02:04:49,440 --> 02:04:52,160
Speaker 11: our entire family and really holding that family together outside

2296
02:04:52,200 --> 02:04:54,480
Speaker 11: of Washington, DC, because I was in charge of you know,

2297
02:04:54,560 --> 02:04:56,920
Speaker 11: everything that you just listed, you know, and the story

2298
02:04:56,960 --> 02:04:59,080
Speaker 11: had to be told to the American people. And by

2299
02:04:59,120 --> 02:05:01,360
Speaker 11: the way, the greatest part of this Ryan, we won.

2300
02:05:01,560 --> 02:05:04,320
Speaker 11: I mean, we beat the mainstream media. We beat them

2301
02:05:04,320 --> 02:05:07,680
Speaker 11: in embarrassing fashion. They're totally irrelevant and independent voices like

2302
02:05:07,760 --> 02:05:09,320
Speaker 11: yours are all of a sudden, you know, winning the

2303
02:05:09,400 --> 02:05:11,520
Speaker 11: day where you know, ten years ago, I think that

2304
02:05:11,600 --> 02:05:15,840
Speaker 11: was very different. NBC and ABC and CBS were the

2305
02:05:15,920 --> 02:05:18,560
Speaker 11: trusted voice of this nation. They are no longer. And

2306
02:05:19,120 --> 02:05:21,680
Speaker 11: you know, and we had the greatest victory in political history,

2307
02:05:21,760 --> 02:05:25,560
Speaker 11: winning the popular vote, winning every swing state and so on.

2308
02:05:25,720 --> 02:05:27,640
Speaker 11: And so it's a beautiful story, but man, was it

2309
02:05:27,680 --> 02:05:28,280
Speaker 11: a hell of a fight.

2310
02:05:28,600 --> 02:05:30,800
Speaker 1: Do you take any comfortable at the big win? Because

2311
02:05:31,240 --> 02:05:33,520
Speaker 1: to me, that sort of suggested that, you know, We're

2312
02:05:33,640 --> 02:05:36,680
Speaker 1: smarter out here in the unwashed masses than the Democrats

2313
02:05:36,760 --> 02:05:39,960
Speaker 1: perceived us to be. We saw what happened to Donald Trump.

2314
02:05:40,080 --> 02:05:42,240
Speaker 1: We knew that Steele dossier was paid for by the

2315
02:05:42,280 --> 02:05:45,520
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, created whole cloth full of lives for the

2316
02:05:45,520 --> 02:05:49,040
Speaker 1: purpose of keeping Donald Trump from getting elected. Enter Hillary

2317
02:05:49,080 --> 02:05:51,560
Speaker 1: Clinton's debacle. She lost her own campaign. I think on that.

2318
02:05:51,880 --> 02:05:54,480
Speaker 1: Then they used that Steele doci to continue to perpetuate

2319
02:05:54,560 --> 02:05:56,600
Speaker 1: this myth that the Russia was involved in the collusion,

2320
02:05:56,640 --> 02:05:58,680
Speaker 1: to go through the whole investigation find out there is

2321
02:05:58,880 --> 02:06:01,640
Speaker 1: nothing there. This was all a lie, that was all

2322
02:06:01,720 --> 02:06:04,960
Speaker 1: done to undermine your dad getting anything accomplished in his

2323
02:06:05,080 --> 02:06:08,880
Speaker 1: first four years. And Lord Almighty, it was non stop

2324
02:06:09,080 --> 02:06:12,560
Speaker 1: under siege. It was the biggest political distraction from getting

2325
02:06:12,640 --> 02:06:14,840
Speaker 1: work done that I've ever witnessed in my sixty years

2326
02:06:14,880 --> 02:06:15,200
Speaker 1: of life.

2327
02:06:16,160 --> 02:06:17,680
Speaker 11: You know what, I'll never forget thinking of my desk

2328
02:06:17,720 --> 02:06:19,280
Speaker 11: at Trump Tower and I get a call, and the

2329
02:06:19,360 --> 02:06:21,240
Speaker 11: first calls from the New York Times, the second calls

2330
02:06:21,280 --> 02:06:23,920
Speaker 11: from the Washington Post. Eric, I hear you have secret

2331
02:06:23,960 --> 02:06:26,320
Speaker 11: servers in the basement of Trump Tower that are communicating

2332
02:06:26,360 --> 02:06:28,200
Speaker 11: with the Kremlin. I almost spit my drink out on

2333
02:06:28,280 --> 02:06:30,320
Speaker 11: my desk. I was laughing so hard, right, I mean, like,

2334
02:06:30,360 --> 02:06:32,640
Speaker 11: give me a secret servers is. We hardly knew what

2335
02:06:32,800 --> 02:06:35,040
Speaker 11: a delegate was, Brian. You know, we're real estate people.

2336
02:06:35,160 --> 02:06:37,400
Speaker 11: You know, we had gotten into the political thing. I mean,

2337
02:06:37,440 --> 02:06:39,040
Speaker 11: you want to talk about winging it, We were like

2338
02:06:39,120 --> 02:06:40,880
Speaker 11: the definition of winging it. We weren't smart enough to

2339
02:06:40,920 --> 02:06:44,320
Speaker 11: communicate with with with Russia or collude with Russia. I

2340
02:06:44,360 --> 02:06:46,520
Speaker 11: mean I started laughing and I said to them, you

2341
02:06:46,560 --> 02:06:47,760
Speaker 11: want to come over here right now, and if you

2342
02:06:47,840 --> 02:06:49,440
Speaker 11: over here in five minutes, I'll give you a I'll

2343
02:06:49,440 --> 02:06:50,840
Speaker 11: give you a tour of the basement of Trump Tower.

2344
02:06:50,920 --> 02:06:53,280
Speaker 11: You can look for the quote unquote secret servers.

2345
02:06:53,400 --> 02:06:53,520
Speaker 4: Right.

2346
02:06:54,040 --> 02:06:56,520
Speaker 11: They knew it was a lie. The FBI knew it

2347
02:06:56,680 --> 02:07:00,360
Speaker 11: was a lie, and they led it percolate for three years.

2348
02:07:00,440 --> 02:07:02,360
Speaker 11: At first, they wanted it to be our October surprise

2349
02:07:02,400 --> 02:07:04,840
Speaker 11: so Hillary Clinton could get three extra votes, you know,

2350
02:07:04,920 --> 02:07:06,800
Speaker 11: and hopefully win the election. And they even defined the

2351
02:07:06,840 --> 02:07:10,520
Speaker 11: October surprise as something that is so damaging, you know,

2352
02:07:10,720 --> 02:07:13,480
Speaker 11: but somebody doesn't have enough time to disprove, so the

2353
02:07:13,560 --> 02:07:16,040
Speaker 11: damage is done by the time they disprove it. Right then,

2354
02:07:16,120 --> 02:07:19,160
Speaker 11: after they lost in such embarrassing passion against a group

2355
02:07:19,240 --> 02:07:22,080
Speaker 11: of quote unquote misfits who didn't know anything about politics

2356
02:07:22,120 --> 02:07:24,920
Speaker 11: and were at a five to one fundraising deficit. They

2357
02:07:25,040 --> 02:07:28,480
Speaker 11: continued the narrative to allow Hillary to stay faced, and

2358
02:07:28,680 --> 02:07:31,760
Speaker 11: by doing so, they literally pitted the two biggest nuclear

2359
02:07:31,840 --> 02:07:35,560
Speaker 11: superpowers against each other, which hampered communication for a three

2360
02:07:35,640 --> 02:07:37,320
Speaker 11: year period of time. I mean, you know how awkward

2361
02:07:37,320 --> 02:07:40,200
Speaker 11: those conversations were as they were accusing us of Russia

2362
02:07:40,280 --> 02:07:43,720
Speaker 11: collusion between my father and and and Putin and again

2363
02:07:44,000 --> 02:07:47,160
Speaker 11: also Hillary, you know, some greedy woman could get could

2364
02:07:47,160 --> 02:07:49,560
Speaker 11: get you know, three extra votes in a campaign which

2365
02:07:49,560 --> 02:07:51,880
Speaker 11: he otherwise lost, or try and stay faced. Why why

2366
02:07:51,920 --> 02:07:54,920
Speaker 11: the Clinton dynasty, you know, who actually knew something about

2367
02:07:54,960 --> 02:07:58,960
Speaker 11: politics and had actually been to Washington, DC before, you know,

2368
02:07:59,200 --> 02:08:02,120
Speaker 11: lost to effectively my father and myself and Don who

2369
02:08:02,160 --> 02:08:03,920
Speaker 11: are really the only three people who were standing on

2370
02:08:04,000 --> 02:08:05,840
Speaker 11: that stage at that time, because no one else believed

2371
02:08:05,880 --> 02:08:08,360
Speaker 11: in us. And that's how damaging this is. And they

2372
02:08:08,480 --> 02:08:10,960
Speaker 11: knew it, and they allowed it to continue for the

2373
02:08:11,000 --> 02:08:13,440
Speaker 11: sake of the Democratic Party, even though everybody knew who

2374
02:08:13,520 --> 02:08:13,880
Speaker 11: was a lie.

2375
02:08:14,920 --> 02:08:17,360
Speaker 1: My guess said, Hey, Eric Truv, author of Underseieged My

2376
02:08:17,440 --> 02:08:20,320
Speaker 1: Family's fight to save our nation. Eric got to ask

2377
02:08:20,360 --> 02:08:23,480
Speaker 1: you what was rather perplexing for me the entire time,

2378
02:08:23,520 --> 02:08:26,440
Speaker 1: Although I can understand him just sitting back and saying,

2379
02:08:26,440 --> 02:08:27,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going to touch this with a ten foot

2380
02:08:27,840 --> 02:08:30,600
Speaker 1: poll let me watch them self destruct. How come Vladimir

2381
02:08:30,680 --> 02:08:33,120
Speaker 1: Putin didn't chime in at any given time? Since we're

2382
02:08:33,120 --> 02:08:35,480
Speaker 1: talking about him and what he did, you'd think maybe

2383
02:08:35,680 --> 02:08:38,560
Speaker 1: just maybe he'd interject, maybe a comment or two, but

2384
02:08:38,720 --> 02:08:39,320
Speaker 1: never happened.

2385
02:08:39,520 --> 02:08:41,800
Speaker 11: Yeah, there's chaos and other countries that our adversaries are

2386
02:08:41,840 --> 02:08:44,920
Speaker 11: probably beneficial to Russia and China, right, I mean, I think,

2387
02:08:45,480 --> 02:08:47,560
Speaker 11: I think if you look at the playbook of most

2388
02:08:47,640 --> 02:08:50,200
Speaker 11: adversaries to the United States, right, And I don't want

2389
02:08:50,240 --> 02:08:51,880
Speaker 11: to try and pitch two countries against each other right

2390
02:08:51,920 --> 02:08:54,480
Speaker 11: now by saying this, But no, I mean they're not

2391
02:08:54,600 --> 02:08:57,200
Speaker 11: exactly you know, China doesn't exactly want harmony in the

2392
02:08:57,360 --> 02:09:00,720
Speaker 11: United States, right, They don't want exactly sunshine and lollipops

2393
02:09:00,760 --> 02:09:03,760
Speaker 11: and rainbows. You know, these guys are popping the popcorn

2394
02:09:03,920 --> 02:09:07,000
Speaker 11: watching us tear each other apart, you know, based on

2395
02:09:07,640 --> 02:09:10,080
Speaker 11: Miss Trews and probably laughing all the way to the bank.

2396
02:09:10,160 --> 02:09:12,440
Speaker 11: I mean, that's how that's how real life works as

2397
02:09:13,040 --> 02:09:15,840
Speaker 11: as sick and deranged as that is. And so you

2398
02:09:15,920 --> 02:09:17,920
Speaker 11: know that's why he didn't say anything. And you know, Harraham,

2399
02:09:17,920 --> 02:09:18,800
Speaker 11: I probably won't say anything.

2400
02:09:18,840 --> 02:09:21,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. I figured that was a direct answer to the question.

2401
02:09:21,280 --> 02:09:23,480
Speaker 1: Of course, we know the Chinese Communist Party is stirring

2402
02:09:23,560 --> 02:09:25,880
Speaker 1: the pot of division in this country through social media, though,

2403
02:09:25,960 --> 02:09:28,200
Speaker 1: and actively engage in that. Yeah. One of the more

2404
02:09:28,240 --> 02:09:31,080
Speaker 1: troubling issues of are illustrations of lawfare. And you know,

2405
02:09:31,160 --> 02:09:34,000
Speaker 1: I practice laws of litigation attorney for sixteen years before

2406
02:09:34,000 --> 02:09:35,240
Speaker 1: it came on the Morning Show, so I have a

2407
02:09:35,280 --> 02:09:38,280
Speaker 1: little bit of background in terms of the uh, the

2408
02:09:38,360 --> 02:09:40,400
Speaker 1: straight face test that you have to pass when you

2409
02:09:40,520 --> 02:09:43,560
Speaker 1: file a lawsuit the real estate claims against Donald Trump

2410
02:09:43,640 --> 02:09:46,720
Speaker 1: in New York that somehow he overvalued the real estate.

2411
02:09:46,800 --> 02:09:50,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking about major banks that have their

2412
02:09:50,320 --> 02:09:53,200
Speaker 1: own legal departments, that do their own real estate valuations.

2413
02:09:53,240 --> 02:09:56,120
Speaker 1: They are experts at this. This was an arms length transaction.

2414
02:09:56,520 --> 02:09:58,840
Speaker 1: If your dad said the place is worth a trillion dollars,

2415
02:09:58,880 --> 02:10:00,400
Speaker 1: they would have laughed and said, no, we did our

2416
02:10:00,400 --> 02:10:02,760
Speaker 1: own evaluation. It's worth acts and they can haggle over that.

2417
02:10:03,200 --> 02:10:06,640
Speaker 1: But they either accepted his calculations, recognizing that there was

2418
02:10:06,800 --> 02:10:08,680
Speaker 1: enough this, I mean, he was going to pay it back.

2419
02:10:08,960 --> 02:10:14,040
Speaker 1: They weren't damaged. There was no justiciable controversy that that laws.

2420
02:10:14,400 --> 02:10:16,480
Speaker 11: And I could go into this for four hours because

2421
02:10:16,520 --> 02:10:18,320
Speaker 11: this is what I do. I run the Trump organization.

2422
02:10:18,720 --> 02:10:20,800
Speaker 11: Not only were they not damaged, they made hundreds of

2423
02:10:20,800 --> 02:10:23,320
Speaker 11: millions of dollars and they testify saying that they were

2424
02:10:23,360 --> 02:10:25,800
Speaker 11: we were the best borrower they've ever had, meaning you know,

2425
02:10:26,040 --> 02:10:27,920
Speaker 11: they were literally they had emails which is, how do

2426
02:10:28,000 --> 02:10:30,640
Speaker 11: we loan Trump more money? Because he's literally the best borrower.

2427
02:10:30,680 --> 02:10:33,400
Speaker 11: They called us the big whale and the platinum borrower, right,

2428
02:10:33,720 --> 02:10:36,120
Speaker 11: and then letsitsie James comes in and says that we

2429
02:10:36,240 --> 02:10:39,640
Speaker 11: somehow defrauded banks. We defrauded Deutsche Banks, the most sophisticated

2430
02:10:39,720 --> 02:10:43,320
Speaker 11: real estate lender on planet Earth. And the great irony

2431
02:10:43,400 --> 02:10:45,520
Speaker 11: of it is they did every year they did their

2432
02:10:45,520 --> 02:10:48,040
Speaker 11: own appraisers, you know, appraisals on the assets, and they

2433
02:10:48,080 --> 02:10:51,520
Speaker 11: had to meet some LTV test and every single year

2434
02:10:51,600 --> 02:10:53,520
Speaker 11: they plot, you know, they passed with flying colors, so

2435
02:10:53,600 --> 02:10:58,120
Speaker 11: that collateral to the actual loan was the property itself.

2436
02:10:58,240 --> 02:11:01,400
Speaker 11: With every year they were appraise and it was passing

2437
02:11:01,480 --> 02:11:04,000
Speaker 11: the very test. There was never a default. There was

2438
02:11:04,040 --> 02:11:07,040
Speaker 11: never a mispayment. There was never There wasn't there was

2439
02:11:07,120 --> 02:11:10,320
Speaker 11: never a breach of contract. You know, there was nothing.

2440
02:11:10,760 --> 02:11:12,600
Speaker 11: There was nothing. And they came in and they literally

2441
02:11:12,680 --> 02:11:15,000
Speaker 11: testified in court. I was sitting there ten feet away

2442
02:11:15,000 --> 02:11:17,040
Speaker 11: from the guy from Deutsche Bank. These are some of

2443
02:11:17,040 --> 02:11:18,520
Speaker 11: the best real estate as, these are some of the

2444
02:11:18,560 --> 02:11:20,520
Speaker 11: most honest people. We've never had a problem with them,

2445
02:11:20,520 --> 02:11:23,600
Speaker 11: We've loved the relationship. We consider them a platinum borrower.

2446
02:11:24,120 --> 02:11:25,560
Speaker 11: And then all of a sudden, the verdict comes down

2447
02:11:25,600 --> 02:11:28,800
Speaker 11: five hundred and sixty million dollars paid immediately, you know,

2448
02:11:28,880 --> 02:11:31,760
Speaker 11: and and let Dan, Eric and Don and Donald Trump

2449
02:11:31,840 --> 02:11:33,880
Speaker 11: from ever doing business in New York City again.

2450
02:11:34,360 --> 02:11:35,040
Speaker 1: It was insane.

2451
02:11:35,080 --> 02:11:38,040
Speaker 11: Now, thankfully, Brian, the Appellate Court through the thing out,

2452
02:11:38,080 --> 02:11:40,720
Speaker 11: including the presiding Judge of New York States, through the

2453
02:11:40,920 --> 02:11:43,920
Speaker 11: entire thing out at a five zero decision. But this

2454
02:11:44,120 --> 02:11:46,440
Speaker 11: is the lawfare that we were against. But they didn't care.

2455
02:11:46,800 --> 02:11:49,600
Speaker 11: They found a crooked judge and they wanted to try

2456
02:11:49,680 --> 02:11:52,840
Speaker 11: and bankrupt our company, bankrupt our family, no different than

2457
02:11:52,880 --> 02:11:54,960
Speaker 11: the gag orders they put on my father every single day,

2458
02:11:55,000 --> 02:11:57,560
Speaker 11: which is why I was on the courthouse steps yelling

2459
02:11:57,600 --> 02:11:59,360
Speaker 11: and screaming because you know, in some of the cases

2460
02:11:59,400 --> 02:12:01,600
Speaker 11: I wasn't so I was the only Trump voice who

2461
02:12:01,600 --> 02:12:03,960
Speaker 11: could go out there and communicate a message. It's what

2462
02:12:04,080 --> 02:12:05,880
Speaker 11: they wanted to do. They wanted to silence us. They

2463
02:12:05,920 --> 02:12:08,240
Speaker 11: wanted to destroy us. They wanted to ruin the company.

2464
02:12:08,400 --> 02:12:10,840
Speaker 11: They want to bankrupt our family. They wanted to take

2465
02:12:10,920 --> 02:12:13,680
Speaker 11: my father out using any means possible, which is the

2466
02:12:13,760 --> 02:12:16,120
Speaker 11: exact definition of a siege. That's why I called the

2467
02:12:16,160 --> 02:12:18,560
Speaker 11: book under Siege, because you know they lay siege to

2468
02:12:18,720 --> 02:12:21,080
Speaker 11: not only our family, but to all of us and

2469
02:12:21,160 --> 02:12:21,880
Speaker 11: our entire nation.

2470
02:12:22,360 --> 02:12:25,240
Speaker 1: I can't imagine the emotions you had to go through.

2471
02:12:25,320 --> 02:12:27,080
Speaker 1: I mean, basically, from the moment he walked down the

2472
02:12:27,080 --> 02:12:29,720
Speaker 1: steps of pronouncing his presidency, you woke up and are

2473
02:12:29,840 --> 02:12:31,360
Speaker 1: living a Kofka novel.

2474
02:12:31,920 --> 02:12:32,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe worse.

2475
02:12:32,720 --> 02:12:35,080
Speaker 11: Honestly, if you were to ask you if you read

2476
02:12:35,200 --> 02:12:37,400
Speaker 11: Under Siege, you know at the end of it you'd say,

2477
02:12:37,960 --> 02:12:40,240
Speaker 11: it almost can't be true. But we know it is

2478
02:12:40,360 --> 02:12:44,000
Speaker 11: because every American lived parts of it in their own life.

2479
02:12:44,080 --> 02:12:46,800
Speaker 11: I mean, if somebody did it in a fictional novel,

2480
02:12:46,800 --> 02:12:48,640
Speaker 11: you'd say, you know, that's a little extreme, but this

2481
02:12:48,800 --> 02:12:50,480
Speaker 11: is what they did. I would have never thought that

2482
02:12:50,520 --> 02:12:52,240
Speaker 11: could have been the United States of America. I mean,

2483
02:12:52,800 --> 02:12:55,040
Speaker 11: I could have never thought that an FBI director Tomey

2484
02:12:55,640 --> 02:12:57,600
Speaker 11: and it was spending his time leaking memos to the

2485
02:12:57,640 --> 02:13:00,960
Speaker 11: New York Times. I mean, aren't FB eye directors. You know,

2486
02:13:01,040 --> 02:13:03,240
Speaker 11: maybe I'm old school, but like I want an FBI

2487
02:13:03,320 --> 02:13:05,880
Speaker 11: director to focus on, you know, not having planes fly

2488
02:13:05,960 --> 02:13:09,040
Speaker 11: into buildings, make sure terrorists aren't shooting up subway stations,

2489
02:13:09,160 --> 02:13:11,080
Speaker 11: making sure that our streets are safe, making sure that

2490
02:13:11,120 --> 02:13:14,040
Speaker 11: they're no serial killers. Like even that what most people

2491
02:13:14,080 --> 02:13:16,879
Speaker 11: think of an FBI director as doing, meaning protecting the homeland.

2492
02:13:17,440 --> 02:13:19,560
Speaker 11: Instead this guy, you know, this guy's buddies with everybody

2493
02:13:19,600 --> 02:13:22,360
Speaker 11: over at you know, in your Times, leaking memos every

2494
02:13:22,360 --> 02:13:25,560
Speaker 11: single day involving conversations that he had with the President

2495
02:13:25,560 --> 02:13:27,880
Speaker 11: of the United States. Like do we not as a

2496
02:13:27,960 --> 02:13:30,400
Speaker 11: country deserve so much better than that, you know, And

2497
02:13:31,440 --> 02:13:34,080
Speaker 11: it's it's it's crazy, Like this isn't the best of government.

2498
02:13:34,120 --> 02:13:36,200
Speaker 11: This is the worst of government. This is the worst

2499
02:13:36,240 --> 02:13:38,400
Speaker 11: way you could spend your task. Pare money and and

2500
02:13:38,960 --> 02:13:41,680
Speaker 11: just all of us, everybody listening, every civilian in this

2501
02:13:42,000 --> 02:13:44,560
Speaker 11: in this nation, demands better from these people.

2502
02:13:45,160 --> 02:13:47,400
Speaker 1: Eric Trump, you and of course, your father, Donald Trump,

2503
02:13:47,440 --> 02:13:51,120
Speaker 1: showed the value of sticking it out, fighting against this nonsense,

2504
02:13:51,560 --> 02:13:54,560
Speaker 1: constant attack regularly twenty four to seven a day. They

2505
02:13:54,640 --> 02:13:57,840
Speaker 1: managed to persevere. And I really truly salute you and

2506
02:13:58,280 --> 02:14:01,720
Speaker 1: your father for sticking it out and you know, showing

2507
02:14:01,760 --> 02:14:04,080
Speaker 1: the strength. It was necessary because very few among us

2508
02:14:04,520 --> 02:14:06,560
Speaker 1: could show it. But then again, very few among us

2509
02:14:06,600 --> 02:14:09,720
Speaker 1: could afford the legal charges and fees that you got

2510
02:14:09,800 --> 02:14:11,840
Speaker 1: build monthly to deal with this lawfair It would have

2511
02:14:11,920 --> 02:14:14,320
Speaker 1: broken the average American. So it's a red flag for

2512
02:14:14,400 --> 02:14:16,440
Speaker 1: everybody there. But for the grace of God, go i.

2513
