Speaker 1: All right, the great American is out, the average American
Speaker 1: is in, and here we go, Here we go, here
Speaker 1: we go on this Wednesday. Great to have you along
Speaker 1: with us. And I say that not capriciously, as you know,
Speaker 1: because whether you're listening on the great medium of terrestrial
Speaker 1: radio or perhaps on the iHeartMedia app, we welcome you
Speaker 1: on in here to seven HUNDREDLW. Well, the government shutdown continues,
Speaker 1: That's what everybody seems to be talking about in town, nationally,
Speaker 1: or whatever. But how many people have actually been affected
Speaker 1: by the government shutdown? Have your has your life been
Speaker 1: affected by it yet? And if it hasn't, when do
Speaker 1: you anticipate it will be? And with all due respect
Speaker 1: to those that work for the federal government and have
Speaker 1: not received a paycheck in or at least once and
Speaker 1: maybe another one coming up here at the end of
Speaker 1: the month, how much sympathy do you feel for them?
Speaker 1: And quite frankly, it's starting to get serious. If our
Speaker 1: true hoops and our air traffic controllers and other people
Speaker 1: that we rely on on a day to day basis
Speaker 1: for a safety if they're not getting paid, I mean
Speaker 1: they got to pay bills too, And so we play
Speaker 1: the game of politics in Washington, d C. And when
Speaker 1: politics comes into the equation, there's only one voice I
Speaker 1: want to hear. There's only one person I think we
Speaker 1: should listen to because his voice is always a voice
Speaker 1: of reason. This is a man who is largely referred
Speaker 1: to as a Reagan Republican, somebody that understood that all
Speaker 1: sides need to be heard and then a decision has
Speaker 1: to be made. Kind of a winsome man. And because
Speaker 1: of that he has written some winsome books, The Winsome Way,
Speaker 1: the Winsome candidate, the winsome politics. The winsome Man is
Speaker 1: here in our presence right now, and it's a good
Speaker 1: day here on seven hundred W welwd to welcome in
Speaker 1: Dan Snell. How are you on this glorious Wednesday?
Speaker 2: I am dandy, ken Brew, Thank you for all those words.
Speaker 2: I hope I can live up to this where ken
Speaker 2: Brew on day twenty two that rhyme day twenty two
Speaker 2: of the shutdown, who's going to blink first? That's the question, right.
Speaker 2: It's sad for America some of the things you were
Speaker 2: talking about. It's true. I think we're really reaching that
Speaker 2: stage now where paychecks aren't being made and it's going
Speaker 2: to get a little bit antsy even in the farming.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm out here in Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Ohio's
Speaker 2: like in the top ten, I believe, still in farming
Speaker 2: and agriculture. And I know that they're talking about maybe
Speaker 2: some support there for that. And there's just so many
Speaker 2: things going on right now in America. It's always great
Speaker 2: to be on the ken Brew Show. Here we are.
Speaker 1: Listen. Look, I'll have you on every day. If you're
Speaker 1: going to be like this, thank you. Okay. So here's
Speaker 1: what the facts are. There was a clean CR that
Speaker 1: was passed by the House. When it got to the Senate,
Speaker 1: that's when the problem began. And a clean CR, for
Speaker 1: those that don't know, is a continuing resolution that funds
Speaker 1: the government we came to keep. We seem to get
Speaker 1: kicking this budget thing down the road, down the road,
Speaker 1: down the road. But the Dems have already have always
Speaker 1: been in favor of a clean CR. Just get it done,
Speaker 1: just the biding error. Just get it done. This federal
Speaker 1: government gets funded. We'll figure all these other details out. Well,
Speaker 1: all the other details don't get figured out here and
Speaker 1: now here we are Dan in October and the Dems
Speaker 1: don't want to clean cr They want to add things
Speaker 1: in about healthcare, about provisions for Obamacare that are set
Speaker 1: to expire at the end of the year. The Republicans
Speaker 1: are saying, look, let's just get the federal workers paid
Speaker 1: and we will talk about those things, and then you
Speaker 1: have the whole issue about illegal aliens. The Dems say, no,
Speaker 1: we're not asking for that. The GOP says yes. And
Speaker 1: we just saw something on the internets a couple of
Speaker 1: minutes ago the Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith,
Speaker 1: a Republican representative from state not too far from yours,
Speaker 1: the great state of Missouri, and he outlines exactly what
Speaker 1: is going on here about government funding for illegal aliens
Speaker 1: in healthcare, and he says Democrats shut the government down
Speaker 1: in order to put illegal immigrants ahead of Americans. My
Speaker 1: point at all of this is that both sides are
Speaker 1: dug in. What's the folkrum in your opinion, that moves
Speaker 1: this thing one side or the other. There has to
Speaker 1: be a blink moment, and I'm just wondering when you
Speaker 1: think that might occur.
Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, there's a lot there, And to me, the
Speaker 2: blink moment should be the moment when leadership rises up
Speaker 2: into the hearts of from the White House to the
Speaker 2: halls of Congress, House and Senate. Is everybody is sounding
Speaker 2: good with the sound bites and the microphone when you're
Speaker 2: in the hallways and at the media conferences. But what
Speaker 2: I want to see, and I think most Americans in
Speaker 2: Cincinnati and wherever we are, we want to see the
Speaker 2: wisdom be in a room of closed doors where they
Speaker 2: get together and put it together and say, Okay, we
Speaker 2: can't have everything that we want from the Democratic side,
Speaker 2: but this is the one bottom thing. But they're not
Speaker 2: even talking. It disappoints me when I hear leaders say
Speaker 2: we're not going to talk unless you know what. We
Speaker 2: send them as the American people to go and do
Speaker 2: the job to make the place we call home better Ohio, Kansas, Nebraska,
Speaker 2: wherever it is. And I just simply believe my belief
Speaker 2: the Winsome approach is the ass of Winsome stands for
Speaker 2: be a solutioneer. Right now, everybody's digging their heels in
Speaker 2: make great sound bites, but let's get to the into
Speaker 2: the room. The one thing, the only thing the Democrats
Speaker 2: I think have to stand on is because it's really
Speaker 2: not the end of the year. It takes place now
Speaker 2: because of next year and the way insurances are is,
Speaker 2: the subsidies for the Healthcare dot Gov do need to
Speaker 2: be approved now otherwise it will kicking. I personally know people,
Speaker 2: including my daughter, that would be affected almost double by
Speaker 2: those subsidies if they're not there.
Speaker 1: You're talking for healthcare dot gov. You're talking about Obamacare.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Obamacare. It's Healthcare dot Go Obamacare yet.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right. So the latest is Thune is considering
Speaker 1: ending the filipbuster, which would require only a majority of
Speaker 1: the votes to get the troops paid. In other words,
Speaker 1: the troops, the ATC folks, and all of that to
Speaker 1: get to get them paid. And that could come according
Speaker 1: to Tommy Tubberville, Senator from Alabama, who may or may
Speaker 1: not have coached football here at the University of Cincinnati
Speaker 1: a few years ago. And they believe me, there are
Speaker 1: plenty of people here Dan that think may not have
Speaker 1: coach football at the University of Cincinnati a few years ago.
Speaker 1: But any event to end to end the Philipbuster, the
Speaker 1: Republicans have been reticent to do that and just require
Speaker 1: a majority of fifty That though, would require the House
Speaker 1: of representatives under leadership Mike Johnson to bring everybody back
Speaker 1: to washing in DC. And here again is a winsome question,
Speaker 1: what the hell are all these representatives doing home in
Speaker 1: their districts for an inordinate amount of time. Why aren't
Speaker 1: they in Washington, DC trying to figure out how to
Speaker 1: solve this thing that to me is mind baffling. Is
Speaker 1: someone that you know, presents that as a nonpartisan question
Speaker 1: Democrats and Republicans? What are you do at home?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think both parties have responsibility here and a little
Speaker 2: bit disappointed and Speaker Mike Johnson, because he's his stances
Speaker 2: keep everybody at home. We don't know that there is
Speaker 2: a reason why behind the scenes or that you know,
Speaker 2: there's always talk of that, but there are things that
Speaker 2: yet their staff isn't there, and there may not be
Speaker 2: all the people in the Capitol, but you know what, hey,
Speaker 2: hey can suck it up and lead the country. And
Speaker 2: there are other issues besides the budget that need to
Speaker 2: be taken care of the national debt. There are all
Speaker 2: kinds of things that Mike Johnson could have the House
Speaker 2: working on, and he does need to bring them back in.
Speaker 2: And I believe John Thune of all the people in
Speaker 2: the arena is probably the adult in the room when
Speaker 2: it comes to trying to reason through things. So I'm
Speaker 2: hopeful that John Thune is going to rise up to
Speaker 2: be a leadership role that we're all going to pay
Speaker 2: attention to, because I think he wants to be a solutionneer,
Speaker 2: not just follow what the talking points or the bullet points.
Speaker 2: You know, you hear both sides have their talking points,
Speaker 2: and it's time to end the talking points and get
Speaker 2: into a room until something has worked out.
Speaker 1: You know, Dan Snell, It's been my contention since twenty
Speaker 1: fifteen that the Democrats are a party devoid of any policy.
Speaker 1: Their whole strategy since twenty fifteen has been stopped Trump,
Speaker 1: Get Trump, Orange Man Bad, And that's exactly what we're
Speaker 1: seeing at every turn here. And I think it's beyond
Speaker 1: disappointing for a party that at one time and not
Speaker 1: so long ago, had some really good ideas and the
Speaker 1: difference between Republicans and Democrats back then it was basically
Speaker 1: funding the dollars in cents, how to make dollars and cents.
Speaker 1: But now we see nothing from that party really for
Speaker 1: the last eleven years, and now the big point of
Speaker 1: contention is a ballroom that Trump wants to put on
Speaker 1: the White House. And if you listen to the Democrats
Speaker 1: argue with this is this is the greatest and most
Speaker 1: despicable defacement of anything that's ever been erected anywhere in
Speaker 1: the world. But it's all being paid for by and
Speaker 1: large with Trump money from his pocket and from people
Speaker 1: that he knows and trust, big, big, big donors. Lucky
Speaker 1: Martin a settlement from his case against YouTube, he sued
Speaker 1: YouTube for censorship. He won like twenty four and a
Speaker 1: half twenty five million dollars. From that, twenty two million
Speaker 1: is going to go to this ballroom renovation Google alphabet.
Speaker 1: They're all kicking in money. I don't understand why that,
Speaker 1: why this is? These are the hills that Democrats continually
Speaker 1: want to die on. Why why are they doing this?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: I think I think the whole let's get Trump agenda,
Speaker 2: stem Trump, and God bless him. He's the president of
Speaker 2: the United States. We should all support him as president
Speaker 2: or campaign for somebody else. But sometimes he gets himself
Speaker 2: in trouble with the words that he uses. He does
Speaker 2: a lot of good things on policy, and America cheers
Speaker 2: him on. He takes nine steps forward, but then he
Speaker 2: takes five steps back. I think with his ballroom thing,
Speaker 2: he allowed himself in this situation specifically to get pointed
Speaker 2: at because he said, we won't touch the existing building.
Speaker 2: And then of course you have media and photos that
Speaker 2: show the whole East Wing and the First Lady's offices
Speaker 2: being torn down. So I think what happens is when
Speaker 2: he makes a statement as if it's fact, and then
Speaker 2: that fact has proven that it's not fact. It's a
Speaker 2: small thing, but it just gives the opportunity. And I
Speaker 2: think what happens is Donald Trump says things that then
Speaker 2: open up opportunities. Like he said, oh, I've got the
Speaker 2: next meeting with Putin planned already and it's going to
Speaker 2: be in Hungry. We're all set to go, and then
Speaker 2: that happened the day before, and then we have Ukraine
Speaker 2: come and then the Putin meeting is off. So there
Speaker 2: are things that he gets himself in trouble with. It
Speaker 2: would be like if I came on your show and said,
Speaker 2: you have low ratings, ken Brew has the lowest, like
Speaker 2: trump Oy said, for every reporter he doesn't, you have
Speaker 2: the lowest ratings ever. Terrible ter you know you wouldn't
Speaker 2: have me back on I love you, I love Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: I'd have you back on. No. Absolutely, you just have
Speaker 1: to tell the truth.
Speaker 3: The uh.
Speaker 1: I'm just amused. Teddy Roosevelt built the West Wing, FDR
Speaker 1: put in a pooled Truman gutted the entire White House
Speaker 1: and rebuilt the thing from the inside out. But it
Speaker 1: just seems like that the Democrats to me are just
Speaker 1: like they're losing at every place. They want to plan
Speaker 1: a flag and it's it's kind of baffling. I don't
Speaker 1: know how much you think this is at work, but
Speaker 1: you know you've got Chuck Schumer is the wrath of
Speaker 1: the Republicans right now, and Schumer appears to be vulnerable
Speaker 1: somewhat from the left. In fact, the left seems to
Speaker 1: be coming at a lot of the established Democrat representatives
Speaker 1: and senators right now that the left wing of their
Speaker 1: party are coming at them. And so I think there
Speaker 1: are a lot of Democrats that are afraid to vote
Speaker 1: for something like a cr right now, that they are
Speaker 1: afraid that they can keep doing that than in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six, in twenty twenty eight, or whenever they're up,
Speaker 1: they're going to be in a lot of trouble. I
Speaker 1: really think that a lot of these people, including Schumer,
Speaker 1: although he hasn't directly admitted it, are afraid of getting primary.
Speaker 1: My god, they asked AOC about it at some meeting
Speaker 1: she was at with Bernie Sanders, some conference she was
Speaker 1: at with Bernie Sanders last week. Then and the minute
Speaker 1: they asked her, Bernie jumped in and tried to put
Speaker 1: that fire out. I think it's I think the far
Speaker 1: left primarying the middle left is a real problem in
Speaker 1: that party right now? Would you agree?
Speaker 2: I degree one hundred percent? Can they The Democratic Party
Speaker 2: right now seems to be floundering.
Speaker 3: They really don't have.
Speaker 2: A go to leader. You know, as history is recording.
Speaker 3: It's funny.
Speaker 2: I have a lot of Republican friends, and my friends
Speaker 2: are saying what a reasonable president Bill Clinton was and
Speaker 2: if you you know, five years ago, ten years ago, oh,
Speaker 2: you're so bad. But really, when it came to the
Speaker 2: economy and successful things, Clinton moved to the center. And
Speaker 2: if the Democratic Party doesn't learn that where the American
Speaker 2: people were, seventy percent of the American people, not the
Speaker 2: fifteen percent that are extreme on either side, is in
Speaker 2: the in the middle. We just want the place we
Speaker 2: call home to be better, and that's common sense. And
Speaker 2: in the middle, and Schumer's in trouble. I get a
Speaker 2: kick out of the talking points because I listen all
Speaker 2: across the country to media, and I hear every single
Speaker 2: House of representative they say. I think they're told to
Speaker 2: say it three times because they always say Schumer shutdown,
Speaker 2: shumor shutdown, humor shutdown, I mean class copy point and
Speaker 2: on both sides. But the Democrats, you know, they attacked Trump,
Speaker 2: and both sides need to get in a room and
Speaker 2: be leaders. You know, it's not about the greatest quip
Speaker 2: in front of a microphone, but it's the greatest success
Speaker 2: of wisdom in behind closed doors.
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, you want to win the SoundBite of the day,
Speaker 1: and you want to get on TV. And but I
Speaker 1: want one more question, and you alluded to it just
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago. I don't have a lot of time.
Speaker 1: But Trump's meeting with Putin is off. Says he mayo
Speaker 1: goes he may go to China and see she next week.
Speaker 1: I guess he's got a plane ticket he's got to
Speaker 1: cash in on. I don't know, but he uh, But
Speaker 1: the meeting with Putin is off, and Zelensky said he
Speaker 1: was going to be at the meeting. Look, let's just
Speaker 1: say that you have infinite powers, and you've been appointed
Speaker 1: by President Trump to settle the war between Ukraine and Russia.
Speaker 1: Tell us in thirty seconds, Dan Snell the win some candidate,
Speaker 1: tell us in thirty seconds, how you would settle that
Speaker 1: so that all sides are happy.
Speaker 2: I would simply say to Putin that we have twenty
Speaker 2: one days to solve this, or we are going to
Speaker 2: provide the horsepower, the firepower to Ukraine to make it
Speaker 2: a fair war. And I think Putin understands power in
Speaker 2: twenty one days is fair enough. And it's time. It's time,
Speaker 2: enough enough, let's get this done right.
Speaker 1: He's a bully, and the only thing bullies understand are
Speaker 1: is power. And I think you're right. And he may
Speaker 1: be marching down that road. Now you might see tomahawks
Speaker 1: in the Ukraine. Might have to send into Poland too,
Speaker 1: but you're going to see tomahawks in Ukraine if this
Speaker 1: thing doesn't come, if Putin doesn't come to heal quickly
Speaker 1: on this thing. Well, you know, I've always I've always
Speaker 1: looked forward to our talks, and you know, we've settled
Speaker 1: a few things here. I'm not sure if the world's
Speaker 1: a better place, but I know I'm in a better
Speaker 1: place right now after talking to you, Dan Snell. And
Speaker 1: until we talk again, you stay well because, as I
Speaker 1: tell you all the time, we need to hear your voice.
Speaker 2: Well Ken love Cincinnati, love you, and you all stay
Speaker 2: winsome out there.
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, dance now all right, we're coming up on
Speaker 1: twelve twenty four. It's the average American in for the
Speaker 1: Great American and it is seven hundred WLW twelve thirty six,
Speaker 1: and welcome back to seven hundred WLW. It's the average
Speaker 1: American in for the Great American on this Wednesday. Windy Wednesday,
Speaker 1: I think falls here. I think the days of those
Speaker 1: eighty degree temperatures are blowing in the wind. As they say,
Speaker 1: coming up at one o six, I'm going to have
Speaker 1: on guests that I have on a lot, it seems
Speaker 1: like these days. And for good reason. Michael Letts is
Speaker 1: someone who is one of the biggest and most vocal
Speaker 1: supporters of what police are doing coast to coast, and
Speaker 1: in particular what's going on with ice agents and lack
Speaker 1: of cooperation from police departments. It is absolutely outrageous the
Speaker 1: attacks that are going on with these ICE agents. It
Speaker 1: is absolutely outrageous. Now local police departments in major cities
Speaker 1: like Portland are not at least protecting these people from
Speaker 1: doing their jobs. We saw yet another example the other
Speaker 1: day when it appeared that Portland police officers were protecting Antifa.
Speaker 1: The visual was them protecting Antifa from ICE agents trying
Speaker 1: to do their work. And a little history lesson. You know,
Speaker 1: everybody is not everybody, but the left is all up
Speaker 1: in arms as to what's going on with ICE and
Speaker 1: apprehensions and deportations. Just take a little look at history
Speaker 1: and what kind of numbers there were of illegal aliens
Speaker 1: in this Coindy deported under Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: Just take a look at the numbers and take a
Speaker 1: look at the numbers of the amount of illegal aliens
Speaker 1: that entered this country under Joe Biden, and then maybe
Speaker 1: we can have a civil discussion anyway, that's coming up
Speaker 1: at one o six two oh six. Stay healthy until
Speaker 1: you die. You know a lot of people the final
Speaker 1: years of their lives are spent in health hell and
Speaker 1: they're just being propped up by devices and medication and
Speaker 1: they're not healthy, Well, how do you achieve a long
Speaker 1: life and live healthy until you die? It is what
Speaker 1: medicine is basically working towards and on the cusp of
Speaker 1: and it's starting to figure out that it's a lot
Speaker 1: less expensive to do that than to just keep pumping
Speaker 1: pills and putting people on machines to keep them alive
Speaker 1: in their final five or six or seven years. All
Speaker 1: that before we're done today. The big story, of course
Speaker 1: around Cincinnati is that the police chief is out. She's done.
Speaker 1: She's trying to keep her job. The city manager wants
Speaker 1: her out. She's on paid administratively, she's trying to sue
Speaker 1: to get her job back. And for whatever the the
Speaker 1: security lapses that have been in this town, and that's
Speaker 1: a nice way of putting it, They're going to hang
Speaker 1: on on Teresa Thiji, the Cincinnati police chief. Whether she
Speaker 1: belonged there in the first place, I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: not a policeman, I don't know police work. I know
Speaker 1: she comes from a long line of police officers. The
Speaker 1: mayor doesn't have any confidence in her. Of course, the
Speaker 1: mayor was the guy that disappeared for what six days
Speaker 1: while the city was being hammered by the largest and
Speaker 1: most watched news organization on the planet, Fox News. Of course,
Speaker 1: he disappeared on a family vacation. Now he's trying to
Speaker 1: wheezel out of it by saying, well, this is the
Speaker 1: city manager's problem. It's not my manager, it's not my problem. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: maybe technically, but it's a weasel answer. We've had Ken Kober,
Speaker 1: the FOP spokesman, on a lot, I mean a lot
Speaker 1: on this radio station. I had him on last Thursday,
Speaker 1: and I asked him basically, look, is she just a
Speaker 1: scapegoat for what are really failings of the underpinnings of
Speaker 1: this particular city government and its relationship with its police force.
Speaker 1: And this, I think is the most significant thing that
Speaker 1: Cober has said on this radio station when asked, is
Speaker 1: she just a scapegoat? And are there other problems?
Speaker 4: Oh, without a doubt, I mean, this is the problem.
Speaker 4: And I've told other media outlet's the same thing. Is
Speaker 4: getting rid of her is not fixing the problem. It's
Speaker 4: just not You have a mayor that is telling her
Speaker 4: what to do, and she does it perfect excuse me,
Speaker 4: perfect example, the chief has asked the mayor for the
Speaker 4: last year to go meet with CPS, figure out what
Speaker 4: we're going to do with these kids that are coming
Speaker 4: down her to these bus stops, and he just refuses
Speaker 4: to do it. She's gone to them and said, listen,
Speaker 4: you've got to do something with these judges. Put pressure
Speaker 4: on these judges to give high bonds. Put pressure on
Speaker 4: these judges to lock these violent people up and keep
Speaker 4: them locked up because the police are doing what they're
Speaker 4: supposed to be doing. And the bottom line is the
Speaker 4: marriage hasn't done it. So to use her as escapegoat
Speaker 4: when she's done anything that the mayor has asked her
Speaker 4: to do, it's not going to fix the problem. We're
Speaker 4: going to continue in this until we have either a
Speaker 4: chief that works independently of elected officials, or we have
Speaker 4: a mayor that's going to fully support protecting the city.
Speaker 1: That's the bottom line. You know, the city government, the
Speaker 1: mayor and the council, city manager. They put the fund
Speaker 1: in dysfunctional government. So what they'll all be re elected,
Speaker 1: those that are up for really, they'll all be re elected.
Speaker 1: Elections have consequences. Who said that. Anyway, we're on top
Speaker 1: of the story. You hear it update every every half
Speaker 1: hour here, But really, and truly, we've had a lot
Speaker 1: of these voices on a lot and I thought that
Speaker 1: was the most significant thing that I've heard that Ken
Speaker 1: Cober has said. I saw this. This is disturbing as
Speaker 1: much as anything else, and I think it speaks to
Speaker 1: where we are as a society and where we are
Speaker 1: with regards to how we take care of the people
Speaker 1: that are younger. There's a lot of crime, A lot
Speaker 1: of crime is committed by young men. Whenever there's a shooting,
Speaker 1: invariably it's a young male that does the shooting. Young Men,
Speaker 1: especially those with college degrees, are struggling to find work
Speaker 1: because there has been a major shift in the job
Speaker 1: market and it's more of a female more of a
Speaker 1: female drug I would say, more of a female driven
Speaker 1: job market right now, because that's those where those are there,
Speaker 1: where the jobs are healthcare, social services, and the way
Speaker 1: the whole government, of the whole industry has shifted from
Speaker 1: college degrees to working in jobs that require a skill HVAC,
Speaker 1: electrical plumbing. But it is a fact, it is not
Speaker 1: a fantasy that a young man is with a college
Speaker 1: degree has a more difficult time finding a job than
Speaker 1: a young woman with a college degree. David Kathy is
Speaker 1: someone who knows all about that. David Kathy is someone
Speaker 1: who understands that finding work for younger people, male and
Speaker 1: female is a problem, but particularly for men. He is
Speaker 1: with Unity Search. He's with a company that is a
Speaker 1: career building company, and his job there is basically to
Speaker 1: help people find jobs and build careers. And when I
Speaker 1: saw this, and I saw the amount of people that
Speaker 1: are out of work in this country anyway, and it
Speaker 1: is a significant number. It's not an overwhelming number, but
Speaker 1: it's a significant number. I wanted to get him on
Speaker 1: to talk about this, and he's kind enough to give
Speaker 1: some time here on seven hundred WLWL David Taffy, how
Speaker 1: are you on this glorious day?
Speaker 5: Fantastic? Can fantastic?
Speaker 3: Happy to be here?
Speaker 1: Well, you're fantastic, you're employed. A lot of people in
Speaker 1: this country, aren't. Seven point two million unemployed in the
Speaker 1: US seven point eight million job openings, But as you
Speaker 1: and I both know, those job openings are really a
Speaker 1: little I think deceptive companies can post openings, it does
Speaker 1: not necessarily mean they're going to fill those openings, right.
Speaker 6: That is correct, and we've seen that quite a bit
Speaker 6: recently and it's been impacting new grads and people who
Speaker 6: are trying to begin their career one, two, three years
Speaker 6: in significantly. And the interesting thing, ken is it's impacting
Speaker 6: males more than it is impacting females.
Speaker 1: And this would be why why would it be gender
Speaker 1: balanced that way?
Speaker 5: Yeah, great question.
Speaker 6: So there's a couple of reasons that just talking to
Speaker 6: some of my clients and looking at some of the
Speaker 6: statistics that we can come to that conclusion. And so
Speaker 6: two of those that are probably the most prominent ones
Speaker 6: is number.
Speaker 5: One, males still dominate.
Speaker 6: Graduating with technology, computer science in business, and the business
Speaker 6: market has cooled.
Speaker 5: It's cooled for different reasons, a.
Speaker 6: Little bit of economic instability, it's cooled for care for reasons.
Speaker 6: It's actually cooled, interestingly enough for housing reasons. People don't
Speaker 6: want to move. There isn't as much movement in the
Speaker 6: United States because they've got a really low interest rate
Speaker 6: on their current house. They don't want to pay seven
Speaker 6: eight percent on a new house, and so they're staying
Speaker 6: put in their job. The other reason is that females
Speaker 6: in their category is a lot of them are graduating
Speaker 6: with degrees that service the healthcare community. And when you
Speaker 6: think about the healthcare community in the United State. We've
Speaker 6: got an aging baby boomer generation, and so that's going
Speaker 6: to require a lot more healthcare. In addition to that,
Speaker 6: we in the United States spend the most out of
Speaker 6: any country on healthcare, but yet we are one of
Speaker 6: the sickest countries and that trend has continued. So while
Speaker 6: the mix between men and women in the healthcare industry
Speaker 6: has even out slightly, it is still heavily dominated by females.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm looking at this. It was some research that
Speaker 1: was done by the Bipartisan Policy Center. A good luck
Speaker 1: finding bipartisan anything in this country, but apparently Democrats and
Speaker 1: Republicans are involved in what this research is all about.
Speaker 1: It says it kind of supports what you just said.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent of the labor force growth over recent months,
Speaker 1: and according to this spokesperson, maybe the last couple of
Speaker 1: years essentially has been coming from the healthcare industry, and
Speaker 1: that industry is overwhelmingly female. So it would stand to
Speaker 1: reason that women are a little bit more employable right
Speaker 1: now than men and men, as you mentioned, go into
Speaker 1: a lot of jobs that are based in the tech industry,
Speaker 1: and here we go around one hundred and thirty two
Speaker 1: thousand tech industry workers have been laid off just this
Speaker 1: year alone. So I mean there probably is the problem
Speaker 1: right in a nutshell, right.
Speaker 6: That's exactly right. And I can speak from firsthand experience.
Speaker 6: I'm married to a lady in the healthcare industry. Both
Speaker 6: of my daughters are in the healthcare industry, and they
Speaker 6: get calls all of the time.
Speaker 5: Of course, I own my.
Speaker 6: Own business with my business partners, and we serve clients
Speaker 6: in business, and we've seen that market cool. So I
Speaker 6: have firsthand experience in exactly what we're talking about.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we know what the problem is, the problem
Speaker 1: specifically here male female. I think the overriding problem is
Speaker 1: is there's great hesitancy for a lot of these companies
Speaker 1: to expand or even fill what's open. And I think
Speaker 1: the hesitancy may come from the fact that we're not
Speaker 1: really sure economically where this country's going right now. The
Speaker 1: President's got tariffs. We don't know if tariffs are going
Speaker 1: to work, and if they don't work, then what happens
Speaker 1: to us here at home. I get the feeling, I
Speaker 1: know you may feel differently, David. I get the feeling
Speaker 1: that it was either tariffs or taxes that he had
Speaker 1: to go down to start addressing some of the things
Speaker 1: that we're wrong economically with this country over the past
Speaker 1: five years. He chose tariffs, but I think everybody is
Speaker 1: kind of holding their powder, keeping it dry until they
Speaker 1: can figure out exactly whether or not these tariffs are
Speaker 1: going to work. That's how I see it. How do
Speaker 1: you see it?
Speaker 5: I would agree with you, Ken, But here's the thing.
Speaker 6: We know that these things take a long time to
Speaker 6: manifest and work its way through our system. So what
Speaker 6: do we do in the interim? What's the advice that
Speaker 6: we give to college graduates coming out of school right now,
Speaker 6: particularly men?
Speaker 5: And here's what we've seen. We've seen three things. We've seen.
Speaker 6: Number one, and they go back to school and they
Speaker 6: further their education and whatever discipline it was, and hope
Speaker 6: that increases their value. Number Two, we've seen a pivot
Speaker 6: to healthcare. So, yeah, I got a business degree, but
Speaker 6: I see that this if I had a healthcare job,
Speaker 6: I'm much more employable. So I'm going to pivot and
Speaker 6: I'm going to go healthcare or social work or nonprofit
Speaker 6: or something like that. The third thing is what is
Speaker 6: not going to be taken over by AI. You still
Speaker 6: got to have a plumber come out and fix your toilet.
Speaker 6: You still got to have an electrician come out and
Speaker 6: put some lines in so you can rev up that
Speaker 6: new fancy toy you got that you.
Speaker 5: Bought that's battery powered.
Speaker 6: And so the trades, we've seen a lot of people. Yeah,
Speaker 6: you have a four year degree, and that's great, but
Speaker 6: those trades are increasing in value significantly.
Speaker 1: Sure, and if you go back to school, all you're
Speaker 1: doing is running up your debt. Chances are you're probably
Speaker 1: borrowing money to go there, and your debt is going
Speaker 1: to be significant when you get out of whatever school
Speaker 1: you go back to. I saw a statistic the other
Speaker 1: day that was staggering. Less than forty percent of the
Speaker 1: people that go to law school actually work in the
Speaker 1: law profession. Yet they have all of this debt that
Speaker 1: they've got to retire in somehow, some way, and nobody
Speaker 1: wants to declare personal bankruptcy. So, yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 1: But for the longest time, it was, you know, it
Speaker 1: was imbued in kids by parents. You got to go
Speaker 1: to school, you got to get an education, you got
Speaker 1: to go to college. Well not anymore. You don't if
Speaker 1: you want to work and get a decent paying job.
Speaker 1: So I think maybe the American dream here is shifting
Speaker 1: a little bit, and I think it's a good thing.
Speaker 1: I think it's a good thing because, as you said,
Speaker 1: those kinds of jobs are always going to be there.
Speaker 1: So maybe that's maybe that's the direction all of this
Speaker 1: is going in, David, And I'm not sure that's a
Speaker 1: bad thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And if you think about it, yeah, the American dream.
Speaker 3: Might be shifting. We see we saw that.
Speaker 6: Start with COVID, and we haven't seen it really slowed down.
Speaker 6: And now it's not driven by COVID. It's actually driven
Speaker 6: by AI and our economic conditions.
Speaker 5: And we're kind of coming full circle.
Speaker 6: Because that was what was the American dream long ago.
Speaker 6: You can open up your own business. It's a capitalistic market,
Speaker 6: and now we're seeing that come full circle with this
Speaker 6: trade industry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, David, how do people get a hold of you?
Speaker 1: Because you are a hiring expert and people want to
Speaker 1: get hired. So how do we get a hold of
Speaker 1: the Unity search group?
Speaker 6: Yes, you can go to unitysearch dot com and me specifically.
Speaker 5: You can find me most commonly on LinkedIn.
Speaker 1: Where everybody seems to be these days. David, thanks for
Speaker 1: your time man, good insight to all of this. Stay well.
Speaker 1: We need to hear your voice.
Speaker 3: Always appreciate it. Ken, have a great day, No.
Speaker 1: Worries, Kathy c at h E Y. I mean, just
Speaker 1: look the tech industry, which is by and large male dominated.
Speaker 1: The tech industry already this year has laid off about
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty five hundred and fifty thousand workers.
Speaker 1: That's on top of two hundred and forty thousand that
Speaker 1: were laid off last year. And right now, if you
Speaker 1: just look at young men ages twenty to thirty with
Speaker 1: bachelor degrees, unemployment has jumped to six percent, just three
Speaker 1: and a half percent for young women. So you got
Speaker 1: to really think is college worth it? And then you
Speaker 1: also have to think, well if it isn't, where can
Speaker 1: I make some do? I mean the whole thing about
Speaker 1: plumbing that he talked about and HBACA and all that,
Speaker 1: it's exploding with work and workers needed some to think about.
Speaker 1: If you think all you should do when you graduate
Speaker 1: from high school is go to college, it's coming up
Speaker 1: on twelve fifty three, on this Wednesday, this Wednesday, one
Speaker 1: day closer to Bengals Sunday, one day closer against the Jets. Well,
Speaker 1: the Jets are awful. Just the kind of game that
Speaker 1: the Bengals have had trouble with in the past. See
Speaker 1: that there's Cincinnati thinking right there. We hope for the best,
Speaker 1: but we brace for the worst. Twelve fifty three News
Speaker 1: Radios seven hundred WLW. It is one oh eight in
Speaker 1: the christ State and welcome fact. The average American in
Speaker 1: for the great American on this Wednesday. The DHS, the
Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security, has arrested nearly a half million
Speaker 1: illegal aliens in the last nine months, almost a half
Speaker 1: a million. Seventy percent of those. According to DHS Secretary Christinomes,
Speaker 1: seventy percent of those nearly five hundred thousand, have criminal
Speaker 1: charges against them or have been convicted of criminal charges.
Speaker 1: That is en root to be on a record shattering pace.
Speaker 1: Six hundred thousand criminal aliens will be arrested, according to
Speaker 1: projections from the DHS in calendar year twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: File that under, if you voted for Donald Trump, this
Speaker 1: is exactly what you voted for. And of course it
Speaker 1: is sparking great protest from the far left. How much
Speaker 1: of it is legit. How much of it is sponsored
Speaker 1: financially by far left groups, we don't know. Apparently the
Speaker 1: DJ is about to dig in and find out. How
Speaker 1: much of it represents the real feelings in the country.
Speaker 1: We don't know, but we can only guess by the
Speaker 1: way Donald Trump promised what he was going to do
Speaker 1: during the campaign for the presidency in twenty twenty three
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty four, and what he said he would
Speaker 1: deliver on if elected. Well he was elected. And now
Speaker 1: here it goes. But all over in a lot of
Speaker 1: blue cities, the local authorities, the police, state authorities, whatever,
Speaker 1: are being placed at odds with the ICE agents that
Speaker 1: are going in and getting rid of people that just
Speaker 1: came into this country illegally and have been here for
Speaker 1: a while. For example, there was a Cuban that was
Speaker 1: in this country illegally by the name of Eric Carlos
Speaker 1: Artius Romano. He was convicted of homicide, kidnapping, robbery, armed carjacking,
Speaker 1: and drunk driving, ordered deported by a federal immigration judge
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight, but was not picked up
Speaker 1: by ICE agents until just two months ago. And a
Speaker 1: lot of what ICE is doing is cleaning up judgments
Speaker 1: that have been dropped on a lot of these people
Speaker 1: that have simply not left the country. Standing by the
Speaker 1: way in on all of this is a man who
Speaker 1: is doing God's work when it comes to law enforcement
Speaker 1: and police. We have Michael lets On a lot on
Speaker 1: my show because simply his job is to protect police
Speaker 1: office coast to coast. One of his passions is raising money.
Speaker 1: So every police department, be it local, be it state,
Speaker 1: and even at the federal level, have bulletproof vests because,
Speaker 1: believe it or not, there are people out there that
Speaker 1: want to do harm to police officers. Imagine that concept
Speaker 1: and imagine why that concept exists. But that's the goal
Speaker 1: of his company, his organization, invests dot Org. We'll get
Speaker 1: into how you can help out about that in just
Speaker 1: a moment, but for now, let's welcome in Michael. Let's
Speaker 1: how are you on this glorious Wednesday?
Speaker 3: Jan has always approved to be on your show. We
Speaker 3: thank you for what you're doing for America and we
Speaker 3: can't do without you. God bless you, Kin, says a Pervid.
Speaker 3: You should be with you.
Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate that, Michael. Look. President Barack Obama deported
Speaker 1: two point five million people during his eight years, not
Speaker 1: including self deportations. Joe Biden just in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: This is a stag stat but in twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: deported two hundred and seventy one thousand people in his
Speaker 1: last year, and Bill Clinton in his two terms eight years,
Speaker 1: twelve point three million illegals were deported a lot of
Speaker 1: those self deportations. But still those are three Democrat presidents
Speaker 1: that did what seemed to be their job. On Biden's case,
Speaker 1: not necessarily so, but still a number that is of significance.
Speaker 1: And yet now it seems like the far left is
Speaker 1: up in arms over what the Trump administration and in
Speaker 1: on the ground the ICE agents are doing. Why is that?
Speaker 1: I mean, all they have to look at is their
Speaker 1: own history. Why are they so bent out of shape
Speaker 1: right now?
Speaker 3: Well they have a reason where being been out of
Speaker 3: shapecy before when the Clinton's, when Obama and the rest
Speaker 3: of them their deportations, they knew the borders were open,
Speaker 3: they knew that they could have them come right back.
Speaker 3: It still keep those numbers, and still keep in fact
Speaker 3: it worked out to their advantage because they probably already
Speaker 3: been counted once in a sensus. They send them back
Speaker 3: out let them come by gaining you counted twice plus
Speaker 3: they already had addresses for them. They knew that the
Speaker 3: mailand ballots were going to come to that portion of
Speaker 3: people they were deporting. Hopefully they from their standpoint, they
Speaker 3: could get back. They get two ballots from them. So
Speaker 3: it was all about maintaining power and control. And that's
Speaker 3: what it's always been for them. They regulations to make
Speaker 3: sure they keep that. Well, what has happened. We've got
Speaker 3: a new administration. The American people saw what was going on,
Speaker 3: wanted to change, kicked them out, came in with the
Speaker 3: Trump administration to drain all that, remove all that remove
Speaker 3: them from power, and boy, they just don't like it,
Speaker 3: can and they can't stand it. They're searching for every
Speaker 3: way to get back into power. So what does it
Speaker 3: mean to search every way? Or, first of all, anything
Speaker 3: positive that the Trump administration doing, we can't say it's
Speaker 3: positive that automatically say it's negative. To find a way.
Speaker 3: So when you take a look at what the President
Speaker 3: filling with his policies on closing the borders, removing illegal
Speaker 3: criminal immigrants, a reduction the crime. Because of that, we
Speaker 3: got to find a way to criticize that, so what
Speaker 3: are we doing now? Because of the fact that during
Speaker 3: the by administration and the Obama administration, we began to
Speaker 3: lose so many officers, whether it was because of defund
Speaker 3: the police, Black lives matter, whether it's because of the
Speaker 3: COVID madate. You know we're gonna use it a guinea pig.
Speaker 3: You don't take it, you got to get fired. So
Speaker 3: many things happened that we lost basically half of our
Speaker 3: law enforcement force across the country. That's how far down
Speaker 3: we are. Though. There's no way we could accomplish keeping
Speaker 3: you safe hand and the rest of America unless we
Speaker 3: start doing some matrix gay deporting these criminals. But we
Speaker 3: don't have the resources. That's why we had to declare
Speaker 3: a national emergency, which the President did. By the way,
Speaker 3: that's why we had to declare that. The car tells
Speaker 3: that the gang members Tread and Agueta, the Heete Tex traffickers,
Speaker 3: were all domestic terrorists, which then made them qualified them
Speaker 3: as enemy combatants. The Tenth Amendment has a provision to
Speaker 3: provisions either if you declare a national emergency or if
Speaker 3: you have enemy combatants on American soil, the president is authorized.
Speaker 3: That's funny about it if your regional language. That doesn't
Speaker 3: even have to go to the judiciary, and he's immediately
Speaker 3: authorized to go ahead and implement and bring in active
Speaker 3: troops to take care of the situation as deemed necessary.
Speaker 3: That is what the president has been doing because we
Speaker 3: don't have the resources, but have enough cops. We're not
Speaker 3: trying to be a military state. We're going to simply
Speaker 3: bring it back into order, bring our law enforcement numbers
Speaker 3: back up, and the military will pull out. They won't
Speaker 3: be involved. But because of having to do that, what
Speaker 3: are they doing now? All so we can discredit the
Speaker 3: Trump administration on the positive issue of reducing crime. Oh no,
Speaker 3: he's not a reducing crime. He's a military dictator. He's
Speaker 3: overthrowing and making himself the dictator and king for the
Speaker 3: rest of his life. And that's what they're to do.
Speaker 6: It.
Speaker 3: It's stupid, can it's no facts to it, but they've
Speaker 3: got to do something. So the first thing they have
Speaker 3: to criticize. Second thing they have to do is they
Speaker 3: have to find some kind of an alot to make
Speaker 3: it look like there are doing something. And why are
Speaker 3: they coming up to be handed their kid?
Speaker 1: Yeah no, they are, Michael, And you know the No
Speaker 1: King's Day was a joke by there. The Left Zone
Speaker 1: estimate there were seven million people. That number is in
Speaker 1: you know, in great question. Well, let's say it's right,
Speaker 1: seven million people. There are three hundred and forty million
Speaker 1: people in this country. Seven million decided that they were
Speaker 1: going to go to New King's Day. By my math,
Speaker 1: that's two percent of the population, which which doesn't even
Speaker 1: cover every Democrat that there is out there. So I just,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's crazy. But yet, what what happens
Speaker 1: in a lot of these cities, particularly I'll take Portland
Speaker 1: as an example, is you have this mob that comes out,
Speaker 1: probably funded by a particular group, because they all seem
Speaker 1: to be chanting the same thing. They all appear to
Speaker 1: be holding the same signs, and their method of attack
Speaker 1: seems to be the same thing said confront police officers.
Speaker 1: The local police out there is not in sync with
Speaker 1: what Ice and the National Guard is trying to do.
Speaker 1: So the President sends in the National Guard. Of course,
Speaker 1: it was challenged in court, but amazingly, the Ninth Circuit,
Speaker 1: about as liberal as you can get, sided with Trump
Speaker 1: two to one that said the National Guard can come
Speaker 1: in there, and let they come in there and we
Speaker 1: get reports, now this is coming from Hermit Dillon, who
Speaker 1: is the top civil rights chief in the Department of Justice,
Speaker 1: that the city police have protected Antifas and their attackers
Speaker 1: on the federal facility. They've been protecting ANTIFA as it
Speaker 1: tried to go after the National Guard. To me, that's
Speaker 1: absolutely outrageous. Now you've pitted What you've done in essence,
Speaker 1: if you're Portland is you've pitted your local police against
Speaker 1: what is right and right and yet what you're devolving
Speaker 1: into there if you do that is complete chaos. So
Speaker 1: what's going on there? In your opinion? And if you're
Speaker 1: a local cop in Portland, what must you be thinking
Speaker 1: right now?
Speaker 3: You've got to be saying how fast you can get
Speaker 3: out of there? Because there's another elent we've just discovered
Speaker 3: that has not been made public. Kid, we're going to
Speaker 3: make a public now and you're show ten and the
Speaker 3: President is aware of this, that we are content playing
Speaker 3: a reaction. What steps should we need to be taken.
Speaker 3: There was a warehouse we thought was suspicious in Portland
Speaker 3: that we put a bead on bead udic simply track
Speaker 3: it located. Toure out what's going on? With it discovered
Speaker 3: that its owner was a member of the Chinese Communist Party.
Speaker 3: I notice what I said. He's not just a Chinese citizen.
Speaker 3: He is actually part of what they called the pulp
Speaker 3: of Buer. He is one who determines war events for China, Okay,
Speaker 3: for the government of China. Puts a member of the
Speaker 3: companies trying this party they had in that warehouse. We
Speaker 3: decided to wait on rating it to see who came.
Speaker 3: I guess who came? Antify all their members dressed in
Speaker 3: black pull up. They open them doors.
Speaker 2: What's inside?
Speaker 3: Bulletproof shields, bulletproof, best tactical gear, ordinances, ammunition. They're outfitting
Speaker 3: these people. We now have a communist country who is
Speaker 3: attacking the very sovereignty of America on our soil. Is
Speaker 3: a very serious situation.
Speaker 1: Michael. Who discovered this? Who you said there was.
Speaker 3: A homeland security.
Speaker 1: They discovered this warehouse in Portland? When was this? When
Speaker 1: did this happen?
Speaker 3: Twenty four hours ago?
Speaker 1: So they discover a warehouse in downtown Portland that when
Speaker 1: it was what was it rated?
Speaker 3: Did?
Speaker 1: How did they actually get inside?
Speaker 3: We just rated it when they were starting to hand
Speaker 3: out the ammunition. Open. This is an all going story.
Speaker 3: Just I know the mainstream media is not going to
Speaker 3: say a word about it. But what sparked our curiosities.
Speaker 3: We got a tip, Homeland Security got a tip, We
Speaker 3: ran it, found out this is in our thing. He's
Speaker 3: actually owned. But I remember of the Communist Polka Bureau
Speaker 3: gone with a Chinese party. Let's wonder what they're doing
Speaker 3: with it one, what they got inside. Let's go in
Speaker 3: there and get a warrant bustet. Now, why don't we
Speaker 3: wait and see who are there to hit? The warehouse
Speaker 3: has always got to be something in that they're giving out.
Speaker 3: Let's see what they're gonna get. Actually, let's put on
Speaker 3: a surveillance. Sure enough here because the caravan and ANTIPA
Speaker 3: members and somebody meets them. That opens it up and
Speaker 3: we began to see and then we move in and
Speaker 3: that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 1: And this is in Portland in the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 3: That is correct.
Speaker 1: It's in a sense it's shocking. In another sense, it's not.
Speaker 1: There were an inordinate amount of military aged Chinese nationals
Speaker 1: that came through the southern border of the United States
Speaker 1: during the Bible administration. One hundred thousand and uh, all
Speaker 1: you need to know is that China is not a
Speaker 1: country that allows military age men out of their country
Speaker 1: without their blessing. So everybody seemed to think, well, what
Speaker 1: are they doing here? Well, the communist Chinese were buying
Speaker 1: up farmland. They were buying up land next to or
Speaker 1: close to military establishments, close to infrastructure, electric water and whatnot.
Speaker 1: So on one hand, what you're saying is shocking, but
Speaker 1: on the other hand not so much. I mean, these
Speaker 1: people came into our country for a reason, and it
Speaker 1: wasn't because they were you know, great National Football League fans.
Speaker 1: There was a reason why they came into this country here.
Speaker 3: You're right, jenn And I think what's so shocking is
Speaker 3: they're not doing it by the self departing. Let me
Speaker 3: give you another quick info that we just got in
Speaker 3: the last few hours, last couple hours, out of homeland security.
Speaker 3: We begin to track the money. We found out we
Speaker 3: have just run the map two hundred and forty six
Speaker 3: million dollars that's with yeah, a million, two out of
Speaker 3: forty million was contributed and spit for King's Day alone,
Speaker 3: for the last two days, for Sunday, Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 3: We've got a list of the people that did it. Uh,
Speaker 3: you know you're everybody. You suspect Sorrows, anvil Gates, I mean,
Speaker 3: were Ford Foundation out and I broke my heart. So
Speaker 3: he used to love for police cars. But I mean,
Speaker 3: it's just as shocking when you begin to look at
Speaker 3: how much money millions, ten and twenties and thirty seve
Speaker 3: millions of dollars were donated by these foundations to undermine
Speaker 3: and to try to fund these rallies and the fund
Speaker 3: Antifa to try to overthrow the government.
Speaker 1: Michael Letz is our guest invest dot Orgusts Company, and
Speaker 1: we're talking about ice and attacks on ice officers and
Speaker 1: who's behind a lot of this this unrest in this country. Okay,
Speaker 1: So we know about Portland, we know that Trump has
Speaker 1: gone into Memphis, and we know he's got it sets
Speaker 1: on Chicago. There's only a finite number of troops that
Speaker 1: he has to work with. So where is his next
Speaker 1: hot spot? And where do you think he goes? And
Speaker 1: how successful do you I mean this is a three
Speaker 1: point question and I apologize for it, but how successful
Speaker 1: do you think he is? Knowing that there are these
Speaker 1: activist judges all around the country just lying in the
Speaker 1: weeds waiting for one of these cases to wind up
Speaker 1: in their court.
Speaker 3: Well, here's what we're at. Quite frankly, he is, let's
Speaker 3: work our way backwards. Where are we going, Uh, Chicago,
Speaker 3: You just try to hanging out of Chicago. We're coming
Speaker 3: and we're going to be there, probably before we can
Speaker 3: get done with this broadcast. Second of all, we're going
Speaker 3: to California. Any other state doesn't make answer the red
Speaker 3: or blue. So we think that there is a criminal
Speaker 3: element that the local officials are not willing to deal with.
Speaker 3: It's not that they can't, it's that they won't. We're
Speaker 3: going to go in all across the country, he said.
Speaker 3: We should have a limited number. Oh yeah, but we
Speaker 3: had the active We can bring an active military as well.
Speaker 3: And you're gonna start seeing that. Why because now we're
Speaker 3: looking at the Insurrection Act. When you begin to see
Speaker 3: there's a foreign government involved financing this as well, it
Speaker 3: now becomes a horse of a different color. And if
Speaker 3: the president needs to and he's he's looking at it seriously,
Speaker 3: of declaring and enacting the Insurrection Act, we don't need
Speaker 3: to go to the judge anymore. Very clear, he said,
Speaker 3: why do you not need to go to the judge anymore.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you why the Interaction Actor is done.
Speaker 3: If there becomes an uprising, okay, and people are in
Speaker 3: the streets marching and shooting and you know, losing and killing,
Speaker 3: et cetera, you don't have to say, hey, cause you don't.
Speaker 3: Wait for a minute, I'm gonna bring an army there
Speaker 3: to oppose you. But I got to check with a
Speaker 3: judge first to make sure he's gonna sign off on it.
Speaker 3: That's why the Insurrection Act is written. The President doesn't
Speaker 3: not accountable to anyone of that situation at first. He's
Speaker 3: accountable for one thing. Put an end to it. The
Speaker 3: president's sakes for reaching to that point. Now that we're
Speaker 3: going to have to declare on the Insurrection Act across
Speaker 3: the country, notre th in just one area, and put
Speaker 3: it into all the schoolishins's going on.
Speaker 1: Michael, your company is invest dot org. I outlined what
Speaker 1: one of its major purposes is, and that is to
Speaker 1: provide every single police officer, state, federal, local, but particularly local,
Speaker 1: with bulletproof vests. Invest dot org is easy to find.
Speaker 1: You'll take any amount of donation. Correct.
Speaker 3: That is correct, And let me tell you why it's
Speaker 3: so pertinent. Well, you and I are talking about Ken.
Speaker 3: Now this is probably about three days old, four days old.
Speaker 3: We now have the intel from the cartels in southern Mexico.
Speaker 3: We have now put a bounty on ice border patrol
Speaker 3: and basically, anyone who wears a badge in the United
Speaker 3: States ten thousand dollars ahead, you kill one, we'll pay
Speaker 3: ten thousand dollars. And that has just gone out in
Speaker 3: the last twenty four hours. Now, what are we going
Speaker 3: to do about it? You remember, I think I was
Speaker 3: on your Showken, and we talked about where the Northern
Speaker 3: cartels in northern Mexico. Yes, had said, you know, if
Speaker 3: you come across here, we're going to We're going to
Speaker 3: hurt you. And we let them run their mouth until
Speaker 3: they killed the tortured night American college students. And you know,
Speaker 3: you haven't hear anything else out of the Northern cartel
Speaker 3: war has been clear. I told you we were going
Speaker 3: to god advertise it, but we've got the best special
Speaker 3: forces in the world. We're going to eradicate the problem. Well,
Speaker 3: guess what, Southern Mexico. You just made a threat on
Speaker 3: American lives and we took notice. So you can expect
Speaker 3: a little visit. So to the President of Mexico. We
Speaker 3: took care of northern Mexico. We're going to take care
Speaker 3: of southern Mexico. Is there anything else who need to
Speaker 3: take care of while we're down there, because we won't
Speaker 3: be there long because trust me, when we get there,
Speaker 3: we move in it out very quickly.
Speaker 1: Invest dot org is the organization. Okay, Michael, good to
Speaker 1: hear your voice, good information on this show today. You
Speaker 1: stay well and we'll be in touch.
Speaker 3: Thank you, God, bless you, God bless America. Can't keep
Speaker 3: telling them the truth. God knows we needs you.
Speaker 1: Oh and it's amazing how many officers in our police
Speaker 1: departments coast to coast are not outfitted with bulletproof vest.
Speaker 1: So whatever you can, if you believe in it, you should.
Speaker 1: Without them, there's absolute chaos to protect police officers coast
Speaker 1: to coast. It is one twenty seven. It's the average
Speaker 1: American in for the great American seven hundred wylw. Now
Speaker 1: I'm looking at some of the people that work here
Speaker 1: at seven hundred Wylw, and I would put myself at
Speaker 1: the top of the best, looking very close to the
Speaker 1: top of the best, looking people that work here. I
Speaker 1: would at least put Bill Cunningham in the top five.
Speaker 1: I think Bill would be in the top five. But
Speaker 1: I think i'm I'm I'm in that upper stratosphere. Hello, quiet,
Speaker 1: I'm broadcasting.
Speaker 7: That was before I had my cataract surgery. Does that mean,
Speaker 7: I mean, here, are you the hunk of the big one?
Speaker 7: Then don't listen to the bar is pretty low on
Speaker 7: that one. Oh, that's true.
Speaker 1: You know, every day is good because you're alive, but
Speaker 1: you know you look in the mirror every day and
Speaker 1: you see wrinkles and crevices and things that just weren't
Speaker 1: there like the day before.
Speaker 7: That's for sharing. Yeah, yeah, I know what you're saying.
Speaker 1: And there are a lot of people that they age gracefully,
Speaker 1: and you just say, well, how do these people look
Speaker 1: when they're like seventy, like they're forty again? And you know,
Speaker 1: obviously there's plastic surgery, but I wonder if it's a lifestyle.
Speaker 1: Maybe if you drank a lot of beet juice when
Speaker 1: you're I don't know, am I just something I could
Speaker 1: have done? Because I just you know, I was you know,
Speaker 1: I've had a lot about his prune juice. Big well,
Speaker 1: it is on you know, certain times in my life
Speaker 1: it's been huge, but it helps. Yeah. Yeah, If you
Speaker 1: gave news anchors prune juice, they'd all weigh three ounces.
Speaker 1: So I suppose there might be something to that.
Speaker 7: Ken Brew The Stood Report as a proud service of
Speaker 7: your local tame Star Heating and air Conditioning dealers Tamestar
Speaker 7: quality you can feel in beautiful Southeastern Indiana called Joe
Speaker 7: Eckstein at Xstein Heating and Cooling at eight one two two,
Speaker 7: twenty twenty six spots. Those Bengals are on the practice
Speaker 7: field today, get ready against those winless New York Jets.
Speaker 7: The Bengals Update brought to you by Good Spirits and
Speaker 7: Party Town with thirteen convenient locations in Northern Kentucky. Bengals
Speaker 7: wide receiver Jamar Chase is the AFC Offensive Player of
Speaker 7: the Week with that Bengals single game record of sixteen receptions,
Speaker 7: one hundred and sixty one yards and one TV in
Speaker 7: the Pittsburgh victory last Thursday. Fifth time in his career
Speaker 7: he's won this award. How about this? The Jets quarterback
Speaker 7: Tyrod Taylor, who had a chance to start Sunday against
Speaker 7: the Bengals, now considered day to day with a knee injury.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 7: Reports are Joe namath Or or Richard Todd come Richard
Speaker 7: Todd will come back? And uh and quarterback for the
Speaker 7: Jets on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Maybe they could get well, swing a deal with the
Speaker 1: Bengals and get Jake Browning for this game. There you go,
Speaker 1: let's see junior Jets. They stunk, you know that?
Speaker 3: Amen?
Speaker 7: The Jets corner and former UC standout Sauce Gardner, he's
Speaker 7: in concussion protocol.
Speaker 1: Who knows who what he's going to be doing or
Speaker 1: what he's thinking about it this week.
Speaker 7: The National Football League is not considering dropping Bad Bunny
Speaker 7: as its Super Bowl halftime headline. Performer commissioner Roger Goodell
Speaker 7: said today.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, seg You know, I I don't really
Speaker 1: have a problem with that because I don't watch halftime acts.
Speaker 1: I never have, you know. But nevertheless, the only problem
Speaker 1: I had he doesn't sing any of his songs in English, right,
Speaker 1: I don't say.
Speaker 7: I don't know, I've never heard in one of his songs.
Speaker 7: I think I think all of his songs.
Speaker 1: So I would literally have to take a course just
Speaker 1: to understand what he's singing. And I realized that's a
Speaker 1: problem for people all over the world if they don't
Speaker 1: speak English, and these American acts are out there, but
Speaker 1: it would for me. It's just involving too much work
Speaker 1: if I have to go somewhere to understand what somebody
Speaker 1: is singing about. I just that's why, you know, halftimes
Speaker 1: at Super Bowls, you know I, you know, I take
Speaker 1: care of whatever eliminations I need for my body and
Speaker 1: just put in more stuff than I'm going to have
Speaker 1: to eliminate later.
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying. I know what you're saying.
Speaker 7: The Pro Bowl Games, Ken Brew, I know you're a
Speaker 7: big fan of that.
Speaker 1: I can't wait.
Speaker 7: The Pro Bowl Games are also going to move to
Speaker 7: Super Bowl Week, so it would be Tuesday, February third.
Speaker 1: Oh for the Pro Bowl Games. Will that involve any
Speaker 1: kind Will that be up against Dancing with the Stars
Speaker 1: or I think yeah, I think yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1: Who wants to clean my gutters? Willie Anderson on TV.
Speaker 1: Willye Anderson and Louke Keikley are among fifty two modern
Speaker 1: era players that advanced in the voting process the Pro
Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame Class of twenty twenty six, Hinkley's
Speaker 1: in Yeah, I don't know. I don't know about Willie.
Speaker 1: I'm not just bad money.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no's I mean but he says, I mean it's not.
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, you can get into it. I
Speaker 8: like the you know, the the rhythm and everything, but
Speaker 8: I just don't know what the hell is saying. You know,
Speaker 8: if he's got his thing, i'd have.
Speaker 1: To I would have to go to I'd have to
Speaker 1: know what his act is, what the songs are right,
Speaker 1: right right, and then I would have to see what
Speaker 1: the lyrics are, and then I would have to learn.
Speaker 1: And it's just for like ten minutes. It's just too
Speaker 1: much work for me. I just I'm sorry.
Speaker 7: I'm just college basketball, ken Brew. You can get the
Speaker 7: latest on those Bearcats tonight the basketball team on The

Speaker 1: you know, I had your back all these years and
Speaker 1: now you're telling me this. Come on.
Speaker 7: Also, this year's National League slug Silver Slugger Award finalists
Speaker 7: were revealed is Key Briant Hayes and not a single
Speaker 7: player from the Reds are on the roster. Wow, not
Speaker 7: even La Da La Cruz.
Speaker 1: Oh, they didn't hit the ball very well.
Speaker 7: This San Francisco Giants already to announce their next manager
Speaker 7: Universe of Tennessee baseball coach Tony Vaitello. That's a first,
Speaker 7: which is a first and being a big league manager
Speaker 7: being taken from a college program without any experience as
Speaker 7: a professional coach, but the Giants are apparently going to
Speaker 7: the pull the do the deal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know how that's going
Speaker 1: to translate, sake and the translate like like some of
Speaker 1: those bad Bunny songs. I just don't I just don't
Speaker 1: know that kid.
Speaker 7: Also ken Brew in high school sports, Congrats to Dayton
Speaker 7: Carroll boys soccer coach Scott molefenterd.
Speaker 1: He broke the.
Speaker 7: OHSAA record for most wins all time in the state
Speaker 7: of Ohio. He got career win number five and seventy
Speaker 7: seven last night.
Speaker 1: Wow. Congratulations. And he didn't have Evander on his team.
Speaker 7: I know he didn't or Pele or Messi or or
Speaker 7: Diego or Kaka or anybody Omar.
Speaker 1: Cummings or any of those.
Speaker 7: Now you didn't have any of those, Now, seg I
Speaker 7: got to get out of the stewag'e report. I'm going
Speaker 7: to tell you how to not not to just live long,
Speaker 7: but how to live healthy. Yeah, people want to live long.
Speaker 7: If you look, you know, you said to yourself many times,
Speaker 7: I'd love to live to one hundred and ten. Right, Yeah, Well,
Speaker 7: a lot of people that live long. The last few
Speaker 7: years are just an absolute hell. It's it's pills, and
Speaker 7: it's machines, and it's everything keeping them alive. Well, how
Speaker 7: can you eliminate that? So the day you die, you
Speaker 7: die healthy.
Speaker 1: You're in the middle of a sentence here on seven
Speaker 1: hundred w wel w and then like that you're gone,
Speaker 1: but you live healthy right to the end. Who would
Speaker 1: want that?
Speaker 7: Ken Brew and honor of a beautiful day here in
Speaker 7: the tri State. We leave you with the immortal words
Speaker 7: of the Stewed report. Because I suck up the Republicans,
Speaker 7: I get the goodies.
Speaker 1: Good boy. He probably said that on the fifteenth Green
Speaker 1: today as he was stealing wait a minute from their
Speaker 1: social Security.
Speaker 7: And then in line and a bunch of Morrison's cafeteria.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, because today is soft food Wednesday at Morrison's
Speaker 1: in Naples.
Speaker 7: I mean him, is any here in line right now?
Speaker 1: Because they can pop their dentures like the night before
Speaker 1: and just kind of moosh the food together.
Speaker 7: Oh it's unbelievab Yeah, and everything everything, everything. They just
Speaker 7: throw everything in the mashed potato corn and just yeah,
Speaker 7: just just purate it. Say guy, gotta go, yes, or
Speaker 7: me too, I'll see in an hour. I want to
Speaker 7: talk to Ben Roethlisberger thinks the Bengals cheated last week
Speaker 7: when they played.
Speaker 1: The bad I'm gonna talk about I'm going to talk
Speaker 1: about that. I need your thoughts right on seven hundred
Speaker 1: wyl W all right, two nine News Radio seven hundred
Speaker 1: wyl W the average American into the Great American on
Speaker 1: this Wednesday. We all want to live longer, right, that's
Speaker 1: the goal in life. I want to live as long
Speaker 1: as I can, and I want to get as much
Speaker 1: out of life as possible. But of course, does longer
Speaker 1: always mean healthier? And as anybody want to just kind
Speaker 1: of hang around, be a potted plant in the corner
Speaker 1: of the room, and in other instances maybe even being
Speaker 1: a burden on their family, where do we Where do we?
Speaker 1: Where do we draw the line between living longer and
Speaker 1: living healthier? And then what does the gap look like
Speaker 1: in between living longer and living healthier. A lot of
Speaker 1: people are trying to shorten that gap so that you
Speaker 1: don't die, just as somebody that's barely existed for five years,
Speaker 1: but you do want to go. I think that you have.
Speaker 1: You have taken everything possible out of life and given
Speaker 1: back as much to those you love in life. Well,
Speaker 1: there's a couple of new studies out about this, and
Speaker 1: a lot of research going on about what keeps the
Speaker 1: brain sharp. Super Agers are what they're called superagers eighty
Speaker 1: years old or older with cognitive function that's on par
Speaker 1: with say, somebody who's forty or fifty. How do you
Speaker 1: do that? How do you keep the brain sharp? Standing
Speaker 1: by a somebody that understands a lot of this because
Speaker 1: his brain has never faltered. He's somebody who, to my
Speaker 1: knowledge at least he was the last time I saw him,
Speaker 1: cognitively sharp and really engaged, and someone who has written
Speaker 1: maybe the definitive work on healthcare in the United States
Speaker 1: and how we can solve its ongoing problems. He's our
Speaker 1: good buddy, Todd Furnace. How are you on this glorious Wednesday.
Speaker 9: Ken, How the heck are you now?
Speaker 10: I got to tell you that the short answer this
Speaker 10: question is you go to the Cincinnati Open.
Speaker 1: Todd, of course, is heavily involved in tennis. In fact,
Speaker 1: he has one of the major major licensing ordeals that's
Speaker 1: with the Cincinnati Open for your your company LS, the
Speaker 1: Great Peril Company LS. Yes, exactly saw that all over
Speaker 1: Mason at the tournament this year. But you're a guy
Speaker 1: that you're not young, you're not old, You're sharp. I
Speaker 1: want to think I'm still sharp. I want to think
Speaker 1: if I'm lucky enough to make it into my eighties,
Speaker 1: I'll statementtally sharp. But it doesn't just happen, and it
Speaker 1: does not necessarily have everything to do with what you've
Speaker 1: got going on from a family history, does it.
Speaker 10: It is not, And I want to I want to
Speaker 10: frame the conversation with a shout out to an epidemiologist
Speaker 10: named Chris Linley out at Veil Health, who's a buddy
Speaker 10: of mine and who's coined the term health span. So
Speaker 10: he wants to change the dialogue or change the conversation
Speaker 10: from life span, which is how long your body remains animated,
Speaker 10: to health span, which is how long you have a
Speaker 10: high quality of life, which then also necessarily incorporates things
Speaker 10: like cognitive capability, to which.
Speaker 3: You earlier heard.
Speaker 10: And there are a couple of things here that are
Speaker 10: really really interesting. The studies are now showing that people,
Speaker 10: particularly those people who are very social later in life
Speaker 10: and throughout their life, have done very well on these cognitive.
Speaker 9: Tests, you know, and the in their eighties.
Speaker 10: And the part of that is addressed by the release
Speaker 10: of oxytocin, which is a neuropeptide. And then, of course
Speaker 10: don't mean which makes you kind of happy, but if
Speaker 10: you And then the other aspect of this is, which
Speaker 10: is that socialization necessarily includes a bunch of sensory auditory
Speaker 10: sensory inputs and what I would call multidimensional thinking perceptions,
Speaker 10: if you will.
Speaker 9: So if I said to you, Hey, Ken.
Speaker 10: How are you and we're talking only on the telephone
Speaker 10: as we are now, that would be a different experience
Speaker 10: than when I say, Hi, Ken, how are you and
Speaker 10: your wife doing? And I see you in the sweet
Speaker 10: the Cincinnati open. I've got context, I've got visual cues,
Speaker 10: I've got auditory cues. And so the brain is working
Speaker 10: on every in a bunch of different ways as a
Speaker 10: result of that.
Speaker 9: So the socialization is helpful as.
Speaker 10: Well as it feeding into neuropeptides a chemical response, and
Speaker 10: couple the coupling that further with the multidimensional aspect of
Speaker 10: the engagement itself.
Speaker 1: So you're talking, it's interpersonal communication, is what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: The ability to communicate develop relationships that will carry you
Speaker 1: on through a majority of your life. But where you
Speaker 1: are as you just mentioned you are sitting there talking
Speaker 1: to someone, which I think raises a whole different conversation
Speaker 1: about the current generation and texting and doing things that
Speaker 1: way as opposed to meeting in person. We'll leave that
Speaker 1: for another time, but that's one of the ways that
Speaker 1: you can avoid becoming an old old man. That's what
Speaker 1: you're saying.
Speaker 10: I think, well, yes, And what they're saying in some
Speaker 10: of these studies is that isolation is can be as
Speaker 10: bad for you as smoking, which is a big that's
Speaker 10: a big, tall order, right, and it is actually not
Speaker 10: a step too far to say, hey, we need to
Speaker 10: address this issue in terms of how young people are
Speaker 10: growing up. And what we're seeing is a whole lot
Speaker 10: of challenges for young people as it pertains to interpersonal interactions,
Speaker 10: ranging from dating to you know, to longer relationships to
Speaker 10: the sense of isolation. There are a number of factors
Speaker 10: weighing in here that we need to be mindful of.
Speaker 9: And I can tell you right now.
Speaker 10: You know, my wife is babysitting our grandchildren, and she's
Speaker 10: observing as a result of our our children limiting their
Speaker 10: screen time to good things occurring as a result of that.
Speaker 10: And I think that the tendency is to go the
Speaker 10: other way because it's you know, it's very convenient and
Speaker 10: easy to simply give your child or grandchild a screen
Speaker 10: have them play quietly for a long time. But the
Speaker 10: problem is that has a bunch of deliterious effects on
Speaker 10: the individual child's cognitive capabilities, and we got to be
Speaker 10: mindful of that.
Speaker 1: No, one hundred percent on that. I think limiting screen
Speaker 1: time and the availability to get to tablets or the
Speaker 1: laptop or whatever is not only great parenting, it just
Speaker 1: makes sense on a number of different health levels. In
Speaker 1: addition to your fine book the sixty percent Solution, I've
Speaker 1: read another book called Outlive, The Science of Art and
Speaker 1: Longevity by doctor Peter Attaya, and it's fascinating. The four
Speaker 1: things that this is his theory. There are four things
Speaker 1: that are going to get you and kill you in life.
Speaker 1: One is heart disease, the other is cancer, the third
Speaker 1: one is diabetes, and the fourth is Alzheimer's. And if
Speaker 1: you understand that going into your life, it will make
Speaker 1: you live your life. He would hope, I would hope
Speaker 1: better so that those four horsemen come to you later
Speaker 1: in life. Then he talks about medicine one point, oh
Speaker 1: medicine two point oh, which is more than just giving
Speaker 1: somebody pills and saying go take a test. Medicine three
Speaker 1: point oh attacks the problem before it becomes a problem,
Speaker 1: so that you can live not just longer, but you
Speaker 1: can live a normal, healthier life longer. And I think
Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about here, your work with your
Speaker 1: doctor in Colorado and whatnot. It just is it's attacking
Speaker 1: one of those horsemen. And you do it by just
Speaker 1: simple ways again, being social, being attached to groups, volunteering,
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, just when you have I always
Speaker 1: tell people, I don't know if this is this makes
Speaker 1: sense to you, but I hear people say, well, I'm
Speaker 1: going to retire, I'm done, I'm done next year, I'm
Speaker 1: going to go. And my my question is, well, what's
Speaker 1: your plan? What are you going to do? And invariably
Speaker 1: it kind of strikes people they said, well, I going
Speaker 1: to play a lot of golf. Well, no, you're not.
Speaker 1: You're not that good. You have to have a plan
Speaker 1: for what you do later on in life. And you
Speaker 1: better formulate that plan when you're in your forties and fifties,
Speaker 1: not just financially but from a lifestyle standpoint.
Speaker 10: Absolutely my my wife married me for better or for worse,
Speaker 10: but not for lunch.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 10: So I think you're spot on, and you know, you
Speaker 10: recall ken in the past, we've talked about this.
Speaker 3: You can distill my.
Speaker 10: Book down into, you know, largely a couple of points,
Speaker 10: which are you know, basically that living a good, healthy
Speaker 10: life boils down and having good healthcare boils inn to
Speaker 10: a few things that likely your mother told you, which
Speaker 10: there is you know, eat right, sleep right, and go
Speaker 10: out and play. The only thing I would amend as
Speaker 10: result of this conversation is play with others, right, don't
Speaker 10: just play. You know, you can't throw the football with yourself.
Speaker 10: You can't play baseball by yourself. But you know, the
Speaker 10: idea is you have to take care of those two things.
Speaker 10: If you do that, then you're likely to take care
Speaker 10: of at least three of the four horsemen.
Speaker 1: Right. Well, the good news is there was a study
Speaker 1: done by United Healthcare that says that the premature death rate,
Speaker 1: which kind of came down, went up quite a bit.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the number of years lost before the age
Speaker 1: of seventy five. It decreased in the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: So hopefully we're coming back to pre pandemic rates on that.
Speaker 1: But you mentioned sleep. Sleep is so important. Sleep is
Speaker 1: a killer if you don't get enough of it, and
Speaker 1: I think that's a major factor as well. Why aren't
Speaker 1: we more attentive to sleep? Why do we think that
Speaker 1: there's something so important at one am in the morning
Speaker 1: that it can't wait until eight am in the morning?
Speaker 1: Are we Why are we wired like that as people?
Speaker 10: Well, I'm afraid that that question is designed for our
Speaker 10: good lord and not me, So I catch above.
Speaker 9: Well, you're very generally above my pay grade. But I
Speaker 9: think that we haven't medically this.
Speaker 1: Ain't they haven't hit line Todd. Yeah, well, it's it's
Speaker 1: a it was a serious question. I I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a pondering more than a question. I
Speaker 1: suppose we'll go ahead.
Speaker 10: No, I think it's it's it's exactly the right question.
Speaker 10: And unfortunately, are our good friends in the medical community
Speaker 10: haven't figured it out because they don't study sleep very much.
Speaker 3: You know, the things that I.
Speaker 10: Mentioned earlier are actually the three things almost least studied
Speaker 10: in medical school.
Speaker 9: But there are emerging disciplines around sleep, uh that are important.
Speaker 10: But what most people don't realize and this is very
Speaker 10: much on your point, which is that you actually will
Speaker 10: will die faster from lack of sleep than you will
Speaker 10: from lack of food or water.
Speaker 1: Wow. Uh, and that that is that is a fact,
Speaker 1: not fixed, right.
Speaker 3: That's correct.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Todd furnas our guest, he of the author of
Speaker 1: the sixty percent Solution rethinking healthcare. This is anecdotal. It's
Speaker 1: certainly it's certainly not based in any fact, but it's
Speaker 1: from observation, and it goes back to what we initially
Speaker 1: talked about about staying active, but staying active on an
Speaker 1: interpersonal basis that will increase your life and make it
Speaker 1: a healthier life. I think when someone is married for
Speaker 1: a very long time and their spouse dies, I think
Speaker 1: it's easier, and I think statistics would bear that women
Speaker 1: live longer than men do when that happens, simply because
Speaker 1: women are more social than men. They have a lot
Speaker 1: of friends. Men traditionally don't have a lot of friends.
Speaker 1: You're not going to go out and have a beer
Speaker 1: with a guy or a couple of guys and bemoan
Speaker 1: the fact that your wife passed away. I think it's
Speaker 1: easier for women because they live a more social lifestyle
Speaker 1: than a man does. Now, tell me I'm crazy when
Speaker 1: I said that place.
Speaker 10: Now, I don't think that I could argue with the logic.
Speaker 10: I think it sertainly makes sense to me. And I
Speaker 10: think that men are are very much more tended I
Speaker 10: tended to being isolated than that women are for that
Speaker 10: very reason.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So this is good stuff, and if you're not
Speaker 1: familiar with it, it's up there. Why the brains of
Speaker 1: super agers tell us about what they tell us about
Speaker 1: staying sharp and healthy for a longer life. I think
Speaker 1: we're making progress, Todd, I do. I really do think that. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: maybe because of a medicine more than anything else than lifestyle.
Speaker 1: We're making progress of people living longer. But it's making
Speaker 1: that curve of living healthy closer to when you die,
Speaker 1: as opposed to being this large gap of when you're
Speaker 1: merely surviving through medication and otherwise. I'd like to hope
Speaker 1: that I think we are. Do you think we are?
Speaker 3: I think so.
Speaker 9: And here's another example of that.
Speaker 10: When we started social security, the security benefits kicking at
Speaker 10: sixty five, the life expectancy was sixty three.
Speaker 1: Well that's why I sted at sixty five.
Speaker 9: Exactly.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so we found a lot of people and then
Speaker 10: the life expectancy made got all the way to sixty seven,
Speaker 10: and we've found a lot of people actually started passing
Speaker 10: away about two years after they retired. So I'm circling
Speaker 10: back to your original point, which is, hey, if you
Speaker 10: think you're retiring, you better have a plan for how
Speaker 10: you're going to spend your time. And it ought to
Speaker 10: be social and all you ought to include, you know,
Speaker 10: a bunch of other good, healthy habits in order to
Speaker 10: be successful in living a good life and having a
Speaker 10: longer health span than life span.
Speaker 1: Well, one of my habits is having you on this
Speaker 1: show as much as possible. Todd Furnace again his book
Speaker 1: The sixty Percent Solution rethinking healthcare. All right, my friends,
Speaker 1: stay well, and you will we will talk down the road.
Speaker 9: Thanks, great visit with you, Ken, Thanks so much.
Speaker 1: Bet you bet. Yeah, it is one of these four
Speaker 1: things are going to get you. I mean it, it is.
Speaker 1: It is almost a statistical one hundred percent fact that
Speaker 1: one of these four things you're going to get you.
Speaker 1: But some people say, well, old age, he died a boat.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, maybe not your heart cancer, diabetes or Alzheimer's.
Speaker 1: If you can stay active and interpersonal. It'll probably take
Speaker 1: care of the fourth one, not not completely and certainly
Speaker 1: not genetically, but it'd probably take care of the fourth one.
Speaker 1: The other three it's all lifestyle. And by the way,
Speaker 1: the other thing the other book I talked about again
Speaker 1: was and this was one of my doctors told me
Speaker 1: about this book. And it's a terrific raay little medical ease,
Speaker 1: but other if you can get through it, it's okay.
Speaker 1: Outlive the Science of Art and Longevity.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And it's doctor Peter Attire, Attia, doctor Peter Attire in
Speaker 1: the rumored I want to be around a long time
Speaker 1: just to torment people to twenty three news Radio seven
Speaker 1: hundred wylwt age and in.
Speaker 7: My Beckoning Sphere of Delight, Hello buyet, and I'm broadcasting.
Speaker 10: God.

Speaker 7: I think that guy was supposed to be in the
Speaker 7: Hall of Fame with a cool ghoul and Bob Shreve
Speaker 7: and Skipper Ryle and Tony Pike and Larry Smith and
Speaker 7: his puppets. Yes, of course, who could forget the puppets,
Speaker 7: that's true. Paddy the Witch, Patty the Witch did you
Speaker 7: mention Bob Shreve? Yes, I did you know? I passed
Speaker 7: passed prime playhouse. I've always felt guilty about this. The
Speaker 7: day that Bob Shreve died, Uh, he was like on
Speaker 7: page a ten of the Inquirer, and I was front
Speaker 7: page because I had just left Channel five to go
Speaker 7: to Channel twelve. And I'm thinking to myself, you know,
Speaker 7: that's not fair to Bob. Bob should have been front page,
Speaker 7: not me, all those years ago.
Speaker 1: That's one of the things. One of the things I
Speaker 1: live with, Seg is guilt. That's one of the guilt.
Speaker 1: Part of the guilt. Gotta get over it. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been through therapy. It doesn't work.

Speaker 7: The keg Blew they ran out, ran out, They're gonna
Speaker 7: have no popular it ran out.
Speaker 1: They're going to have another one named after me here shortly.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what's going to be. We know one thing,
Speaker 1: it will not be thc and anything like that. Bengals up.
Speaker 7: They brought to you by Good Spirits and Party Town
Speaker 7: with thirteen convenient locations in northern Kentucky. Bengals right now
Speaker 7: on the practice spot, getting ready for the Jets. Speaking
Speaker 7: of the jets they have, Well, the Jets aren't saying
Speaker 7: if it's going to be Tyrod Taylor or mister Justin
Speaker 7: Fields on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Let's hope it's both.
Speaker 7: May you know what I was looking. I looked up
Speaker 7: the names. I can't believe we forgot. You know, we
Speaker 7: mentioned Joe Namath, Richard Todd about Ken O'Brien in the eighties. Yeah,
Speaker 7: and Boomer Aliason, Well.
Speaker 1: He's going to be here. Boomer's going to be here
Speaker 1: because it's it's Laps getting inducted into the Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame with the Lesa Lamar Parrish. There you go, and
Speaker 1: they you know, they wouldn't give Boomer a hotel room,
Speaker 1: so he bought. He bought hotel rooms. So he's going
Speaker 1: to be here. There you go. I think that could
Speaker 1: be what said play here say is I think this
Speaker 1: whole thing is geared towards Boomer suiting up for the
Speaker 1: Gests on Sunday. Meanwhile, to see this, Ben Roethlisberger's on
Speaker 1: some sort of podcast that and he said that, well,
Speaker 1: he said the Bengals white uniforms and white paint on
Speaker 1: the field or the blame for all those interceptions by
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. The Roethlisberger's quote. I know it sounds crazy.
Speaker 1: With Aaron, he's incredibly good, he sees everything. But the
Speaker 1: Bengals were all white. They painted the middle of the
Speaker 1: field white. And I think there's a chance that the
Speaker 1: safety was camouflaged in the middle and Aaron didn't see him.
Speaker 1: So because the Bengals were out in white. They painted
Speaker 1: the field white. Roethlisberger thinks that's one of the reasons
Speaker 1: why Aaron Rodgers threw two interceptions in this game.
Speaker 7: No disrespect for the former Miami Redskin great, but he
Speaker 7: might have had too many icy lights that night.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, this is what the man is saying
Speaker 1: and podcast.
Speaker 7: Willie Anderson and Louke Keighley are among fifty two modern
Speaker 7: era players advancing in the voting process. Now with the

Speaker 1: asked Joe Biden. Because he knows the Easter Bunny. So
Speaker 1: maybe the Easter Bunny knows Bad Bunny and they can
Speaker 1: communicate with each other.
Speaker 7: I think one of them is for a famous Formula
Speaker 7: one race in Monaco. Oh yeah, yes, I didn't know that.
Speaker 7: I guess I think he has max Erstappen Lewis Hamilton
Speaker 7: and Fernando Alonso backup singers.
Speaker 1: Wow, no, here we go. Here's a little bad bunny.

Speaker 1: told you the last hour, I said, these guys that
Speaker 1: sing in English. You know, you go to other places
Speaker 1: in the world, South America, you go to like to
Speaker 1: Germany and France. Those people are probably saying, what the
Speaker 1: hell are they saying? You know, so it's don't see me, seg,
Speaker 1: I got something bet to listen to here? Do you
Speaker 1: know this song.
Speaker 7: I love as a Beach Boys?

Speaker 1: Fifty nine years ago to day this song was number
Speaker 1: one in the USA. How about that The Beach Boys
Speaker 1: and good Vibrations. It's it's called hitting the floats. By
Speaker 1: the way, I wonder.
Speaker 7: If wonder if Fad Bunny's gonna do this one at
Speaker 7: halftime in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, if he did, he could sing
Speaker 1: it in his native language and I know what he
Speaker 1: was saying because I know that the words that are here,
Speaker 1: that's true.
Speaker 7: How about this ken Brew? In high school sports? Yeah,
Speaker 7: the OHSAA is going to conduct an emergency reference to
Speaker 7: vote regarding nil within the next forty five days. Wow,
Speaker 7: eight hundred and fifty member high school principals will vote
Speaker 7: this fall. That's in accordance to that tro issued Monday
Speaker 7: and by a Franklin County judge allowing nil for high
Speaker 7: school athletes in the Buckeye State.
Speaker 1: So you know, let me just say this right here,
Speaker 1: and I say this right here, and there right ahead.
Speaker 1: I'm just going to say this right here now that
Speaker 1: if there was nil money available in his time, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think Rocky Boyman would be a multi millionaire, right,
Speaker 1: you're not kidding? Instead of what he is. He's in
Speaker 1: Delaware tonight, for God's sakes, doing a football game with
Speaker 1: the Blue Hens with I don't know whose hens he has.
Speaker 1: He may have a bunch of chickens. I don't know.
Speaker 7: Dunzager play them every year, the Delaware Blue Hens.
Speaker 1: If they had nil money, but he was in a
Speaker 1: high school at St X, he would be a multi
Speaker 1: millionaire and he'd probably be living somewhere. What about water?
Speaker 1: What about Tony Pike?
Speaker 7: Tony would have made good you see Hall of Famer Friday,
Speaker 7: that's right, that's right. What kind of money would he
Speaker 7: be making? Ready the home of the Blue Devils if.
Speaker 1: There was nil money available when Ken Griffy Junior played
Speaker 1: baseball and Barry Larkin, imagine the kind of money that
Speaker 1: would have been involved in. Well, now, one of these
Speaker 1: So you gotta have eight hundred and fifties principals. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a zoom. Yeah, I guess that a
Speaker 1: swinging affair.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was gonna say, I guess they're gonna rent
Speaker 7: some hall someplace, and I guess principals are going to
Speaker 7: vote on this, and you know it's it was I
Speaker 7: think it was from it was. The suit was brought
Speaker 7: by a player at Dayton Wayne High School.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred and fifty principals in a room talking about
Speaker 1: slide rulers. Oh boy, can I get a ticket to that?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: Sure you can. Yeah. Yeah, they're lined up to hear
Speaker 1: what those cats are going to say. Say. Let me
Speaker 1: ask you this go ahead. I don't I You know again,
Speaker 1: I think about these things. I have a lot of
Speaker 1: time on my hands. You know I told you about this, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: think about a lot of these things. So what would
Speaker 1: happen if indeed the Jets went like they just had,
Speaker 1: like like people volunteer from the stands to play quarterback
Speaker 1: this week? Do you think there would be anybody that
Speaker 1: would come down from the stands and play quarterback for
Speaker 1: them this week?
Speaker 7: The idea wouldn't be anybody in a Bengal out there,
Speaker 7: But you know.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be gonna be Jets fans the area with
Speaker 1: a fire helmet and all that goes on. You know,
Speaker 1: do you do you think that if they did that,
Speaker 1: do you think fans would It's kind of like what
Speaker 1: was going on here before we before the town knew
Speaker 1: the beauty of Joe flackhaw right. Do you think anybody
Speaker 1: that pays money to go to those games? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Bengals were to have gone to them and said, look,
Speaker 1: we know what we got in Jake Browning, it's not working.
Speaker 1: Would anybody like to volunteer to quarterback this team? Do
Speaker 1: you think there'd be the fan would volunteer. There'd be
Speaker 1: hundreds of them jumping out of the stands. Do you
Speaker 1: think so? Exactly?
Speaker 7: I don't think there'd be anybody for the NFL. For
Speaker 7: the glory of the National Football League. Yeah, we'll play
Speaker 7: in a game and just just a hand off.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah? No, absolutely. Why don't you come down here
Speaker 1: and get your brains beaten in by Aiden Hutchinson because
Speaker 1: he's got nothing else better to do right now except
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 7: You just hand it mess up the Bengal Rock. Just
Speaker 7: hand it off to Chase Brown and get out of
Speaker 7: the way. Nobody would, I think they would. Nobody would.
Speaker 7: Bengal gym would.
Speaker 1: Would you.
Speaker 7: What else we got here also ken Brew. It's about
Speaker 7: that time.
Speaker 1: What was it going home?
Speaker 7: No, well almost, but Christmas is right around the corner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. I said that the other day.
Speaker 7: And the Wish Tree Program is celebrating forty one years.
Speaker 7: And if you want to, if you're a business and
Speaker 7: you want to help out the needy children and adults
Speaker 7: in our area, get yourself a tree. The wish line
Speaker 7: is five one three eight five two eighteen ninety five
Speaker 7: or email the Wish Tree Program the wish Tree Program
Speaker 7: at gmail dot com give from more info.
Speaker 1: We should probably explain what that is, right, what is
Speaker 1: the wish Tree Program.
Speaker 7: It's it's a program for the holiday season, forty first year,
Speaker 7: as I said, and this is a dedicated space in
Speaker 7: your business or office to display the wish Tree and
Speaker 7: they would drop off the tr your They would drop
Speaker 7: off tags this month and you you pick up the
Speaker 7: the tag and go buy a gift and bingo. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 7: so that's so that's not the people around the area.
Speaker 1: Now here's another problem that I've I've discovered here in
Speaker 1: the last half hour forty five minutes. Okay, Redsfest is
Speaker 1: in January this year.
Speaker 7: It's just run January it's the first event at the
Speaker 7: new convention center.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. This Sega Clause shows up
Speaker 1: or has shown up at every Reds Fest when it
Speaker 1: was in December. So are we being led to believe
Speaker 1: that Sega Clause will not be at Reds Fest in January?
Speaker 7: Sega Claus has not been at Reds Fest ken Brew
Speaker 7: for the last three or four years.
Speaker 1: You've got to be kiddingmed. They got somebody else. I
Speaker 1: swear to god, I thought you were there.
Speaker 7: Nope, used to be, but you used to have a
Speaker 7: big display with the station and everything else got banned
Speaker 7: not anymore. What happened, I don't know. I guess I went.
Speaker 7: I think I went free agency and demanded money. I
Speaker 7: went nil money for Santa Claus.
Speaker 1: This year I've had.
Speaker 7: I've had no same image and likeness for Santa Claus.
Speaker 7: I'm getting I'm gonna get rich. I saw somebody running around.
Speaker 7: It looked like the Sega clause, and you need a
Speaker 7: Santa I'll do it.
Speaker 1: Okay, I didn't. I didn't know. But anybody need a
Speaker 1: sand at their business or something, you'll do it. Why not? Okay,
Speaker 1: seg This has been informative, if not chaotic, and I
Speaker 1: appreciate your time here as always. I'll be in tomorrow.
Speaker 7: So it was like it's like a regular day around here,
Speaker 7: ken Brew.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Let's think about this. Has volunteers
Speaker 1: coming out of the stands to quarterback the Jets. I
Speaker 1: think people would line up. Yeah, it might be the Jets.
Speaker 1: Management may line up. Put him in Green, put green Sey.
Speaker 1: Get us out of the Stewge report before we liabel anyone.
Speaker 7: Else, ken Brew, and honor of a beautiful day here
Speaker 7: in the Tri State, we leave you with the immortal
Speaker 7: words of the Stooge Report.
Speaker 5: At some point, the foolishness has got to stop.
