Speaker 2: on the seventh we're gonna have listener lunch Blue Ash,

10
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: Mad Tree, Blue Ash location. When I found out this morning,

11
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: and I'm sad the Brown Dog Cafe is closed. Blue

12
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: Ash location, Brown Dog Cafe, Really sorry to see that.

13
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: Love that spot and we went there for listening to

14
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 2: lunch quite a few times and always enjoyed it. And

15
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: followed that restaurant from where it used to be to

16
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: the Blue Ash location there for ten years and they

17
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: just closed the doors. I guess the owner is retiring

18
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: or something. But saw that in local stories when we

19
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,960

Speaker 2: a whole lot there coming up. It's Monday, fifty five

00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: pass along. Just guessing along those lines. Brian James, it

37
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: is Monday. We do money, Money with Brian James every

38
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: Monday at eight oh five. Today, the same inflation two

39
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: point seven percent? Is it's good news? Correct?

40
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 5: Not?

41
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: Maybe?

42
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 2: Maybe not? Got a word or two about California and

43
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: some other Blue states on that one. Social Security facing cuts?

44
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: Who will save it? I presume that it refers to

45
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: Social Security. No one has the will to save social

46
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: security third rail of politics, which means you don't do

47
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: anything to try to save it, you just to let

48
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 2: it collapse. That's the only conclusion I can reach on

49
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: that one. It's a pressing issue everybody out there that

50
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 2: relies on Social Security. I mean this is this is

51
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: fundamentally important to people, even eating down the road. In

52
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: addition to that topic, one third of Americans believe social

53
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: security won't exist when they retire. Why because no one's

54
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: working to save it. Brian James may have a different

55
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: conclusion along those lines. That's what we talked to him.

56
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: And then finally with Brian James, the SEC gives the

57
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 2: okay to tokenize stocks de scritted as a move toward blockchain.

58
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,040

63

Speaker 2: then a round out the show, and then tomorrow the

64
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: final show of the year, the Christmas episode, and I

65
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 2: look forward to that for no other reason that rob

00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: ryders in studio with his guitar. We try to have

67
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: some fun. I welcome all kinds of calls on the

68
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: Christmas Show and encourage you to consider calling in on that,

69
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: but also concerns you urging you to consider calling in

70
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: this morning. Okay, first question, why is this trip really necessary?

71
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: And maybe it is a big distraction. Distraction. I've been

72
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: kind of thinking in the back of my mind for

73
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: a long time, this whole Epstein file disclosure is kind

74
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: of a distraction, and maybe, oh, stop you from thinking

75
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: about us going after oil tankers off of Venezuela. We're

76
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: pursuing a third one. We may have captured it by now,

77
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: I don't know, but they start pursuing tanker number three

78
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: because they want to win four sanctions. And that's going

79
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 2: on in the world. I love this. Just a couple

80
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: of headlines going on in the background. Pentagon fails an

81
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: audit for the eighth consecutive year. Pentagon has now been

82
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: able to complete an audit. They were initially mandated to

83
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 2: do independent audits across the Department of Defense back in

84
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen. The department since that time has failed to

85
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: pass a single full audit. Where in the hell is

86
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 2: the money going? Apparently, the Department of Defense now known

87
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 2: as the Department of War lists four point sixty five

88
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: trillion in assets, overshadowed by its listing of four point

89
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 2: seventy two trillion dollars in liabilities through fiscal year twenty

90
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 2: twenty five. Now I'm puzzled by that one, and it's

91
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 2: beyond my comprehension what the liabilities are in the Department

92
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 2: of Defense. I mean, they funded annually substantial amounts but

93
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: can't pass an audit. Maybe that's where the problem lies.

94
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: They identified twenty six material weaknesses to significant deficiencies and

95
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: the financial report practices this year. They rendered adverse opinions

96
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: in ten of twenty eight subaudits contained within the overall

97
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: Pentagon audit for the year listed further disclaimers of the opinion,

98
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 2: meaning the auditors could not be certain one way or

99
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,799
Speaker 2: another whether the balance sheets of certain funds of programs

100
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 2: are actually are accurately reported. Reports of the disclaimers of

101
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 2: opinion cover programs and funds that comprise a combined forty

102
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: three percent of the US military's total assets and at

103
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: least sixty four percent of the military's total budgetary resources

104
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 2: red flag. Maybe not to be overshadowed by Joni Ernst.

105
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 2: I hate to laugh about this, you know. Look, hey,

106
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: it's Minnesota. Look at the frog going on in Minnesota.

107
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 2: Look what Minnesota did in terms of the allowing the

108
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 2: Somali community to exploit these federal programs. Look over there,

109
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 2: Look over there. Jony Earnst demand in the United States

110
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: Postal Service account for its building usage. She sent a

111
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: letter on Friday. Of course, in the background of that one,

112
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: the United States Postal Service lost more than eighteen billion

113
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: dollars over the last two fiscal years. Ernst, in her letter,

114
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: demanded the Postmaster General David Steiner, answered questions about the

115
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: facilities owned and leased by the United States Postal System

116
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: give the info to me by January ninth, twenty six,

117
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: saying IG found that the USPS had no zero reliable

118
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 2: data on how it uses its buildings, no comprehensive strategy

119
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 2: to reduce waste, and no recorded space assessments for over

120
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 2: twenty one thousand, five hundred of its buildings. Said, if

121
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: you're wondering how the US Postal Service loses billions every year,

122
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: look no further than the fact that they self admittedly

123
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: have no clue if they're using the buildings they pay for.

124
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: Moving away from just the USPS, she said, well, you know,

125
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 2: unfortunately this isn't rare in Washington, with your tax dollars

126
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: paying for seven seven hundred completely vacant buildings. And of course,

127
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: she claims she's going to be leading the charge to

128
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 2: evaluate the federal government's real estate portfolio and get rid

129
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: of unneeded and obviously costly office space. The Postal Service

130
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: owns or leases more than thirty four thousand buildings in

131
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: the country, of which more than ninety five percent have

132
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: either been not reviewed at all since twenty twenty. You know,

133
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: we're kind of on a theme here, no accountability for

134
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: the money that goes out the door. Here's the check USPS,

135
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 2: here's the check Pentagon. Now they're supposed to be inspector

136
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: general following up on this, this is what leads to

137
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: these reports. Well, the follow up at least in terms

138
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: of the Pentagon is the audit that was done. Fail

139
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: FAILFAILFALF fail failfail. You do FAY eight failures in a row?

140
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: So what what is there a penalty associated with this?

141
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: You failed? Okay, sorry, I'm sorry. What does that mean,

142
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: are you gonna get your act together? Is there's gonna

143
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 2: be some accountability on this to the American taxpayer. We

144
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: just gave them a trillion dollars almost in the most

145
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: recent defense budget. Like to think that the the impetus

146
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: behind handing them that kind of money would be that

147
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: they have completed an audit and we know the money

148
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: is not being misspent. Can't say that. One other independent,

149
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: separate program, the United State's postless Service, supposed to be

150
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 2: running in a profit, or at least not at a

151
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 2: total loss. How do you continue as an entity when

152
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: you lose billions and billion two years they lost eighteen

153
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: billion dollars. Anybody wonder where that went? Well, Jody Urnest

154
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 2: may be onto something. You got too many day inn buildings.

155
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: I mean, if you own thirty four thousand and you

156
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: can't account for a space in twenty one thousand, that

157
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: I would say is a major blanket problem. Whatever the

158
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: Epstein thing, the law that was passed ordered all all

159
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: now subject to reactions, reactions that might identify victims that

160
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 2: well already haven't already outed themselves. They were all supposed

161
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: to be produced. They weren't, why you know, and ran

162
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 2: Paul made a good point about this. Listen, you know

163
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: it's a huge mistake. He was on a Sunday show yesterday,

164
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 2: ABC's Sunday Show. And of course Massey, along with one

165
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 2: of the Democrat is moving to hold Attorney General Pambondi

166
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: and inherent contempt the Congress because of the release of

167
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 2: partial files. Massey has already told everybody he is I

168
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: got a list of a whole bunch of names that

169
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: I know are in and among the documents that are

170
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 2: in there. How come those names weren't president? We're born president?

171
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: Because if somebody from JP Morgan was one of them

172
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: and his name is not among the documents that were

173
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: where are those documents? Why do we continue to have

174
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 2: questions swirling around this? This implicates the Trump administration. Democrats

175
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: are all coming out of the woodwork to accuse the

176
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 2: Trump administration of using the Department of Justice to undermine

177
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: the law and protect him. Well, if there's nothing there

178
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: to protect him from, and the Trump administration keeps saying

179
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 2: there's nothing there there, well we won't know that until

180
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 2: all of the documents are produced. Please, why do you

181
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: create this controversy stating the obvious policy yesday. I think

182
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: that trust in government is at a low EBB, and

183
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: that people need to trust that justice is the same

184
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 2: whether you're rich or poor, and the people tend to

185
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 2: believe that some rich people got off scot free in

186
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: this In the Epstein case, yeah, well, most notably moving

187
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 2: back even earlier, the FBI reportedly ignored early warning signs,

188
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: but of Epstein's possession a child porn for nearly a decade,

189
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: what is the Justice Department charged with new release Records

190
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: from the Justice Department show the FBI was warned in

191
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety six by Maria Farmer and artists who work

192
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: with Epstein filed a complaint in September third of nineteen

193
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 2: ninety six alleging Epstein stole explicit photos of her underage sisters,

194
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 2: sought images of young girls, and threatened to burn her

195
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 2: house down as she spoke out. That complaint surface publicly

196
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: for the first time last week. Why because of the

197
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 2: court ordered release of the Epstein files transparent under the

198
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: Epstein Files Transparency Act, which Massey and of course Senator

199
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 2: Ran Paul are both saying, red flag, red flag, he

200
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: didn't produce all the damned documents. Rand Paul relying our

201
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: pointing primarily to the political downside of all this one

202
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 2: more thing to give to the Democrats as we move

203
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: forward rapidly so to the no member election, saying this

204
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 2: is going to be swirling around for months, and I

205
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: don't know where he came up with a month's thing.

206
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: Is it not possible for the Justice Department to get

207
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: its act and produce all the documents? Oh, let's say

208
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 2: in a matter of days, or she wouldn't have been

209
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: better by the deadline of last Friday. You saw it coming,

210
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 2: you knew it was coming. Oh, we're busy back in

211
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: the background redacting. It takes time, and we'll just produce

212
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 2: the documents when we can produce them, says the Justice Department. No,

213
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 2: the law says Friday, which you know that results in

214
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 2: someone try to take action and hold the Justice Department accountable.

215
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 2: Enter Senator Rand Paul or Congressman Thomas Massey, among others.

216
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 2: But this child born warning, why didn't they look into it? Why?

217
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 2: Maria Farmer the one that turned into a complaint back

218
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety six, and this is a New York

219
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: Times reporting, since she felt vindicated since she was long

220
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: accused of fabricating her claim. She's maintained for years that

221
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: the federal authorities failed to act despite her warnings. The

222
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: FBI document, which was initially had initially redacted her name

223
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: can afirms the allegation but is not mentioned Gislaine Maxwell

224
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: or Epstein associates. But I don't think matters, she said,

225
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 2: she received no meaningful response from the Bureau from nearly

226
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 2: a decade before Epstein ultimately faced federal scrutiny that led

227
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 2: to his plea deal in twenty or in two thousand

228
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 2: and eight, admittedly and confirming that he was indeed a

229
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: child pervert, giving rise to even further allegations of well

230
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 2: favorable treatment for a well connected pedophile out in the world.

231
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: Now we needn't investigate that it's just little children anyway.

232
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: Why would we care about the molestation of little children?

233
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: God almighty five nineteen fifty five krc DE talk station,

234
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 2: A whole lot more to talk about it? Who you

235
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 2: can give me a call or alternatively, I'll go where

236
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 2: I want to go when we get back from the break.

237
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 2: Thanks please skep inful time cars the talk station. It

238
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: is five twenty two here fifty five CARCA talk station.

239
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 2: Fived e two three pound fay five to fifty on

240
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: AT and T Funds. I needed an interesting reaction and observation.

241
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 2: I saw this op ed piece criticizing the Trump administration

242
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: for cracking down and putting up restrictions from people from

243
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 2: a whole variety of countries out in the United States.

244
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: This after the attack on two National Guard members. Afghan

245
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 2: immigrant Raminola Lockhaan Nawi now facing murder and charged an

246
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: attack that killed National Guard member Sarah Baxter. You may

247
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: recall that one happening. You also know that most recently

248
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 2: we had the attack shooting at Brown University two students dead,

249
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: followed by the shooting at MIT some it was it

250
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 2: Portuguese immigrant Claudia Nuevea is Valente in that one found

251
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 2: dead in the storage locker killed himself. Trump's this and

252
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: this author Scott Bolden, opinion contributor, it's Politico, so it's

253
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: going to be left leaning. And this one, of course,

254
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: is Trump's collective punishment of millions of people for the

255
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 2: alleged actions of two immigrants makes no sense. You're talking

256
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: about this collective punishment that everybody suffers because of the

257
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 2: actions just these two people, and how unbelievably, horrifically bad

258
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 2: it is. The overwhelming majority of immigrants coming into the

259
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 2: United States are grateful for the opportunity to want to

260
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: work hard, play r for the rules, and achieve the

261
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: American dream. About fifty two million immigrants live in the

262
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 2: United States, fourteen million unauthorized together, making up nineteen percent

263
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: of the nation's workforce. And he waxes poetic about all

264
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: the benefits they're bringing to the United States of America. Okay, fine,

265
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 2: I immediately thought of the Second Amendment. Well, this left

266
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: winger says, this is a terrible policy. It's harming all

267
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 2: of these people who had nothing to do with the shootings.

268
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 2: One may argue Donald Trump is trying to protect the

269
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: American population because, as we've seen with the unchecked, unmitigated

270
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 2: flow of immigrants into our country illegally, a lot of

271
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: them are from prisons in Venezuela and other places where

272
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: they're just emptying out the worst of the worst, sending

273
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 2: them here and of course allowing them to go out

274
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: their merry way committing crimes here in the United States.

275
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 2: It's been presented a real problem. Do all illegal immigrants

276
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 2: or migrants generally speaking, commit crimes. Absolutely not. Going back

277
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: to the Second Amendment, do all firearms owners commit crimes

278
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: to have their firearms taken away when some Gloaco crazy

279
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: nut job goes all shooty on everybody. But no, the

280
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: Democrats will scream out loud, we need to take guns away.

281
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 2: Look at having in Australia the most draconian gun ownership

282
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: laws on the planet. Almost they make them even harder. Now,

283
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 2: why because somebody went all shooty obviously in an anti

284
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 2: Semitic murder spree, we got to go after the gun.

285
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: So let's see this guy apply the same logic and

286
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: reason to the left demand that all firearms we shouldn't

287
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: be allowed to have them. The vast majority how many

288
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: firearms in the United States, where they kind of like

289
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: six hundred million or something along those lines, there's enough

290
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: for every man, woman and child to own like three

291
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: or four of them. And yet, in spite of the

292
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: gun violence that we see in our country, we know

293
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 2: the vast majority of people who extra exercise their Second

294
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: Amendment rights are not criminals. They do not commit crimes.

295
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 2: And you have the Left at every single instance of

296
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,479
Speaker 2: a gun, every single instance where a gun has been

297
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 2: used in the Commission of Violence. They scream and yell

298
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 2: that our rights need to be infringed upon. Okay, Scott Bolden,

299
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 2: op Ed contributor to Politico reconcile that for me. Will

300
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: you please six five twenty six if fIF you have

00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 7: so really looking forward to a nice vacation.

312
00:17:58,960 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: Good.

313
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 7: I'm out here, back out here in northwest of Indianapolis,

314
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 7: and as usual when I'm out here, I'm using the

315
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 7: iHeartMedia app to listen to fifty five KRC.

316
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: Appreciate it and of.

317
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 7: Course I get when I'm driving home, driving back to

318
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 7: the hotel whatever, I get to catch up on stuff

319
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 7: I missed with the listening to some of the episodes

320
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 7: on the app, and and I'll even go back and

321
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 7: listen to the first hour to see how stupid I sound.

322
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 7: And I know last.

323
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 2: Week don't do that. I never ever ever go back

324
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 2: and listen, because I probably would quit my job if

325
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: I listened to what I say on the radio during

326
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: the day, because I was embarrassed about how I characterized

327
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 2: something or how stupid I sounded on any given topics.

328
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 2: So that's why I steer clear of that. So what's

329
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 2: the point for today, Tom?

330
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 7: I noticed, well, I noticed last week you said something

331
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 7: at the after my phone call about you didn't hear

332
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 7: a gas price update updates. So without further ado, Saturday,

333
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 7: I'm back home in Cincinnati and I live in Cora,

334
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 7: as you know. And the Kroger at North Gate was

335
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 7: two dollars and nineteen cents. Yeah, and of course we

336
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 7: had some leftover fuel points, so we got it for

337
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 7: a buck seventy nine. It's been a while since we

338
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 7: got that, but that was that was kind of nice.

339
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 7: Nice to see the gas prices coming down, uh, and

340
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 7: then they'll go back up and then they'll come down,

341
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 7: so the highs are a little bit lower and the

342
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 7: lows are a little bit lower, and that's a good thing.

343
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 7: And this whole affordability issue, it's it's a real thing

344
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 7: because it affects everybody. And unfortunately we got to get

345
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 7: some of these other prices of stuff. You walk in

346
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 7: the grocery store and and it's not quite the same

347
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 7: feeling you still some of these prices are up, diesels

348
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 7: up that that has a big effect on it. So

349
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 7: it's understandable that the Democrats are using affordability to beat

350
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 7: the Republicans over the heads pactly Trump, I get it,

351
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 7: good political tactic, but we have to remind people that

352
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 7: things are improving. They're way better than they were just

353
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 7: you know, two years ago, maybe not even that they're

354
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 7: way better and they're getting better, and all the signs

355
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 7: are pointing for things to get better. And you got

356
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,719
Speaker 7: some nice tax cuts that will come into effect when

357
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 7: you do your taxes early next year, and you'll see

358
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 7: start seeing some of that. There's a reason for that,

359
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 7: and that's because there are people who are doing things

360
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 7: to actually help the American people and help the economy,

361
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 7: and we need to keep that going and we can't

362
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 7: go backwards. So we got to remind people of this stuff,

363
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 7: and we got a course remind them, don't vote Democrat.

364
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 7: Have a good day, Brion.

365
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: Thanks Tom, you do the same. Yeah, maybe we'll get

366
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 2: to it a little bit later. There's a list of

367
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 2: Finley article on the Wall Street Journal. You can see

368
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 2: it this morning. Why the affordability crisis is most severe

369
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 2: in California. Going back to his claim that the Democrats

370
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 2: blaming Donald Trump for inflation. When you see the prices

371
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 2: in California, what's that caused by? Yes, the unbelievably horrific

372
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 2: overregulation in the state. And it's across the board. It's

373
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 2: not just energy, it's housing and a variety of better factors,

374
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: all self inflicted injuries. Yeah, go ahead and blame Donald

375
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 2: Trump for inflation. Now, getting inflation down is a slow process.

376
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 2: You're going to have to wait for it. You can't

377
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: magically flip a switch and make it not happen. Over

378
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: the local local stories, Governor of winsign Senate Bill fifty

379
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 2: six into law, but vetoed a provision that would allow

380
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: have let certain bars and breweries sell thh infuse drinks

381
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 2: in Ohio. They're now ver boat and or at least

382
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 2: they will be. The bill changed to Ohio marijuana hemp

383
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 2: laws passed the Senate twenty two to seven back on

384
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 2: the ninth of this month. Block provisions would have allowed

385
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 2: bars and breweries to sell drinks with small amounts of

386
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 2: THHC until the end of next year. I guess that's

387
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 2: because Congress and President Trump enacted a federal ban on

388
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: intoxicating help which begins November of next year, so Dwine said.

389
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 2: In exercising his line aight in veto provision, he said,

390
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 2: Ohio is making good on public policy by enacting its

391
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 2: own ban earlier than federal law. However, allowing the sale

392
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 2: of intoxicating hemp averages for most of twenty six would

393
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 2: create confusion for consumers. When I first read that, I'm like,

394
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 2: are you that dumb if someone tells you the federal

395
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: law is going to ban the sale of this stuff

396
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 2: beginning in November twenty twenty six, smoke them while you

397
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 2: got them. In this particular case, drink them while you

398
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 2: can buy them. I think we can manage the in

399
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 2: them disappearing from the shelves on next November, as opposed

400
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 2: to immediately or when this one kicks into effect, which

401
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 2: I think is after the first of the year anyway.

402
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 2: New law creates restrictions on marijuana products, including reducing THHC

403
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: levels a lot of products, limiting its use in public spaces,

404
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 2: banning its consumption or growth in childcare facilities. No problem

405
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 2: with that ban. Restrictions apply to all intoxicated marijuana products,

406
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 2: including edibles and beverages, and limit the sale of THHC

407
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 2: products to dispensaries. So if you're buying your THHC beverage

408
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 2: at your local liquor store, apparently no longer. I don't

409
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 2: When does VV get sworn in? Joe ask? Not soon enough.

410
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 2: Law also requires products with more than it's just a

411
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 2: small amount of THHC to be sold only at licensed

412
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 2: marijuana dispensaries, So those little THHC gummies that you find

413
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: at your local convenience store, those apparently will be gone too.

414
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 2: But for those people who have been convicted of offenses

415
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 2: that are now legal, it also expunges your records. So

416
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 2: that's a step I believe in the right direction for

417
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 2: those who were incarcerated for something that most people widely

418
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 2: seem to embrace these days. And I mentioned it before,

419
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 2: but real quick and have a local story. I'm sad

420
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 2: to see Summit Park. The Brown Dog Cafe, Yes has closed.

421
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 2: They announced the sudden the Sudden retirement Facebook post on

422
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 2: the nineteenth. Ownership has decided to retire at the end

423
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 2: of our tenth year. We sincerely thank all of our

424
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 2: customers and the further patronage and friendship throughout the years.

425
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 2: Boycemail also thanked customers for their patronage. Opened in nineteen

426
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 2: ninety eight on five for Road, and my wife and

427
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 2: I've been going there since after it opened in nineteen

428
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 2: ninety eight. Then it moved over to Summit Park in

429
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. Sadly it's now I guess closed. I don't

430
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 2: know where doctor j is going to be playing his guitar.

431
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's another venue out there for him. That

432
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 2: was his venue, though, wasn't it. Oh well, sad to

433
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: see it go. Five thirty six fifty five kr CD

434
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 2: talk station. Let's dive into a stack as stupid coming

435
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: up after these words. This is fifty five karc an

436
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio station station. It is five A forty here fifty

437
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 2: five KARSD talk station. Monday. As we head on into Christmas,

438
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 2: I'm really excited about enjoying some time with family and Christmas,

439
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 2: and you know gasoline prices. We went and visited my

440
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 2: sisters or my wife's sisters in the Greater Pittsburgh area.

441
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 2: I paid two dollars and thirty cents for a gallon

442
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 2: for refill and went as high as north of three dollars.

443
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 2: I believe that was in the greater Downtown Pittsburgh area.

444
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 2: I saw some signs, so depending on where you're sitting,

445
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 2: that will determine your gas prices. Anyway, why not start

446
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 2: with this one since I mentioned Christmas and we are

447
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 2: fast approaching Christmas. It is the stack of stupid what

448
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 2: are described as progressive churches. Red flag on that one. Anyway.

449
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 2: In Colorado and Washington are hosting a great drag fiend

450

Speaker 2: Neither? Or neither do I? Do you have to add

460
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 2: another letter to the lgbt A group of letters when

461
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 2: you refer to this collective community. Just a symbol? What

462
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 2: symbol will magical queer be? Will they a question mark? Okay,

463

Speaker 2: that the show contains adult themes and is recommended for

465
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 2: ages sixteen and older. Oh, that's exactly what you think

466
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: about when you think about a Christmas. Tiny Tots. Reverend

467
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 2: Shane Neil Barron, described as a queer identifying minister at

468
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: Foothills Unitarian It doesn't, they don't. They don't label him

469
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 2: as a magical queer identifying speaking with Colorado Public Radio, Yeah,

470
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: he's a splitter. He created the man a couple of

471
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 2: years ago in response to what he described as an

472
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 2: anti LGBTQ legislation that had been introduced there. I was

473
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 2: kind of sitting with that reality and also being a

474
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 2: queer person myself, I was just realizing what the church

475
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 2: needs to step into this gap and say something. What

476
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:29,719
Speaker 2: if we created this little queer oasis, this little queer

477
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 2: sacred space at the holidays for folks to come to

478
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 2: see their lives and their community lifted up as worthy.

479
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 2: Which is so Needa right now, huh, I thought the

480
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 2: teachings of Christ were kind of, you know, neutral. He

481
00:27:51,800 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 2: called the magi quote outside figures close quote in this

482
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 2: biblical story, which he said, help inspire the idea to

483
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 2: incorporate dragon LGBTQ themes into the different Nativity story, which

484
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 2: he made up whole cloth. Ah, because the three Wise

485
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 2: Men were from the east, parallels can be drawn to

486
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 2: the LGBTQ community. What is there any reference in the

487
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 2: Bible about how the Magi were rejected by the folks

488
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 2: in Bethlehem when they came to visit Jesus after his birth.

489
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 2: Did they ride them out on the rail? Did they

490
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 2: tarn feather the magi? Did they imprison them? Did they

491
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 2: throw them off the top of a building? Because well,

492
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,719
Speaker 2: maybe they were part of the LGBTQ plus community. No,

493
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 2: thank you, dad, mischieon Dad. The minister went out to say,

494
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 2: what if they embodied this search for queerness, meaning the

495
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 2: three Wise Men, instead of just finding Jesus. What if

496
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 2: they actually stumbled upon queer people coming alive, being born

497
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 2: again and claiming joy, claiming hope, and claiming resilience close

498
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 2: quote I don't even know what that means. Colorado Church

499
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 2: not the only one. MS Table e Maiyas Table in Seattle,

500
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: Washington described itself as a spiritual community that is LGBTQ

501
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 2: affirming and is connected to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America,

502
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 2: hosting quote a Christmas Carol that was inspired by a

503
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 2: drag event on December twelfth called quote Drag Church The

504
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 2: Yassification of Ebenezer Scrooge that does not make s well wait.

505
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 2: According to the event description, quote the Yassification of Ebenezer

506
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 2: Scrooge is a traditional Christmas pageant reimagined through a queer

507
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 2: lens based on Charles Dickens classic of Christmas Carol. The

508
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: audience follows Ebenezer Scrooge as he's guided by three drag

509
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 2: queen's spirits on a transformative journey. Together they help him

510
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 2: release shame and anger, embraces true self, and discover the

511
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 2: joy of the community. So I'm glad to believe that

512
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 2: I guess Ebden's or Screws was such a jerk, and

513
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 2: so mean is because he was in denial about his

514
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 2: own sexuality. I've read a Charles Dick and Christmas Carol.

515
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 2: I didn't see that message in there. Although listen, I

516
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 2: loosely use the term art in all of this. Art

517
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 2: is art, and you can do whatever the hell you want,

518
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 2: and that's fine. But I just find it seemingly, well

519
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 2: maybe objectionable this time of year. They obviously do not

520
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 2: embrace the Charlie Brown Christmas version of the meaning of

521
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 2: Christmas five forty six. At least that's my take. You

522
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: can have a different one, of course. Fifty five caresit

523
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,400

Speaker 2: theme discussion here jetway Jesus and also occurrences of miracles

570
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 2: in flight, accusing more and more airline passengers scamming the

571
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 2: travel system by using wheelchairs to lines and board planes early,

572
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 2: then magically walking off of the plane without the need

573
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 2: of a wheelchair. People fake mobility issues arrive at the

574
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,440

576
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 2: these travelers leave the plane unassisted and don't need wheelchairs.

577
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 2: In effect, the flights miraculously cure these people. One said,

578
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 2: I have my grandma wheeled around when I take her

579
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 2: to the airport so she doesn't get lost on the

580
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 2: way to the gate. No mobility issues whatsoever. Airlines recorded

581
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 2: a thirty percent yearly increase in wheelchair assistant assistance requests

582
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 2: at bigger airports. Court to the trader that represents airlines

583
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,720
Speaker 2: around the world, the considerable increase in wheelchairs assistance requests

584
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 2: is the key issue for the aviation industry. Court of

585
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 2: the organization, I understand the scale of the problem. We're

586
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 2: looking at the issue through surveys and studies. Airlines again

587
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 2: thirty percent increases what they're reporting also said, many assistance

588
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 2: requests may come from passengers who do not have physical disabilities,

589
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 2: but do not feel confident in navigating through a busy airport.

590
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 2: So stupid is a justification to use a wheelchair, And

591
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 2: might I ask if you have difficulty navigating around an airport,

592
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 2: maybe because you don't know where you're going, how does

593
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 2: a wheelchair improve that process? There are only so many

594
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 2: contract workers assisting with wheelchairs in each airport, so frivolous

595
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 2: requests hurt those with a real need. Now, if this

596
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 2: is you and you would do this, I have an

597
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 2: award I'd like to give out to you, not one

598
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,560

00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 2: Nobody's willing to do that. Segue to topic number three.

620
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 2: One third of Americans believe Social Security won't exist when

621
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 2: they retire. Why because of the foregoing Who will save it?

622
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 2: No one's willing to try third rail of politics. But

623
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 2: we can't deal with that. It's not like people are

624
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 2: planning on living off of it when they retire. Finally,

625
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 2: with Brian James, the SEC gives the ok to tokenize stocks,

626
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 2: described as a move toward blockchain. Then we hear from

627
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 2: the wonderful, the compassionate, the humanitarian, Patty Scott Heart number

628
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 2: four Seniors dot org is where you find Patty the

629
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 2: Heart for Seniors organization. They're doing wonderful things for the

630
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 2: senior community in the greater Cincinnati area. And I love

631
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 2: being able to speak on behalf of heart for seniors

632
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 2: and Patty Scott is just an absolute treasure for the

633
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 2: seniors in our community. Fast forward to right now five

634
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 2: on three, seven four nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred

635
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 2: and eighty two to three talk pound five fifty on your

636
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 2: AT and T phones before we move on topic, why

637
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 2: is the suit in New Hampshire? Gary's guy? Welcome back Gary,

638
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 2: Happy Monday and Merry Christmas.

639
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 5: Hey, Hey, Merry Christmas. I wanted to list you and

640
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:12,240
Speaker 5: Joe and everybody out in listening sphear a very merry

641
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 5: Christmas and be thankful for everything that we have and

642
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 5: that we're bussed that we really do live in a

643
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 5: wonderful country. With that, I'm going to disagree with you

644
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 5: on the gun bloat blowing up of the drug runners vote.

645
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,919
Speaker 5: I find it well within authority of Trump or any

646
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 5: other president to conduct this because I am a thirty

647
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 5: four year member of the military. I've been a numerous

648
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 5: conflicts over the years and where I supported those conflicts,

649
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 5: and I did a little search on AI with and

650
00:38:54,160 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 5: if you look under the all actions not declared war,

651
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 5: that war has only been declared in the United States

652
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 5: five times by the United States not even the Civil

653
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 5: War was considered a war officially by Congress because it

654
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 5: was more of a police internal action because they didn't

655
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 5: recognize the states. But then you get into the quasi war,

656
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 5: the Banana War, the Gunboat diplomacy, which is numerous wars

657
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 5: between US, Cuba, the Philippines, Hawaii, also the North. You know.

658
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 5: Then you get post war, the Korean Expodus, the Vietnam Operation,

659
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 5: Urgent Fury, and the Russian Civil War interventions, the Barbarie Wars,

660
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 5: the Banana, the Panama, the Boxer, the Banana Wars, the

661
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 5: punitive expeditions. Again with Mexico, we've been at war or

662
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 5: executive actions or the command or chief has taken executive actions,

663
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 5: and we have killed hundreds of thousands of people. Yeah,

664
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 5: as to protect our shores.

665
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 2: I understand history, man, I know, recite the same list

666
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,280
Speaker 2: you'd recited as well.

667
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 5: Okay, but this gives the president, as a commander in chief,

668
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 5: the absolute right to blow the ships out of the

669
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 5: water without court action.

670
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: That's it.

671
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 2: Like a legal argument, like a stopple or latches. If

672
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 2: you allowed a conduct to go on for an indefinite

673
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 2: period of time, you can no longer assert the legality

674
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 2: of it down the road if you've been complicit in

675
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 2: allowing it to go on. I'm playing a little fast

676
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 2: and loose with that parallel though. But in all the

677
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 2: conflicts you've discussed, yes, TACIT approval from our elected officials,

678
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 2: either through silence or in some cases authorizations for you,

679
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 2: some military force, which I would at least appreciate in

680
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 2: this particular context, considering we're in a completely different hemisphere

681
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 2: than the so called war on terror in the Middle

682
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 2: East designed to focus on life bomb fundamentalists terror. And

683
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 2: I understand your position, and I know many elected officials

684
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 2: and are in current administration, the Trump administration, are relying

685
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 2: on arguments that you are making. Currently, there are counter

686
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 2: arguments that I have agreed with, like the likes of

687
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 2: Thomas Massey and Senator Rand Paul and others who think

688
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,240
Speaker 2: that there should be some congressional approval of some sort,

689
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 2: either by way of authorization for you, some military force,

690
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 2: and a declaration of war I think will be needed

691
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 2: if we start bombing the country of Venezuela. You know,

692
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 2: it's a little bit different when you're talking about drug

693
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 2: boats that are heading for our country, although again I

694
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 2: don't think they represent an imminent threat because you don't

695
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 2: know really where they're going until they get close to

696
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 2: our territorial waters, in which case don't you still have

697
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 2: plenty of time to stop them. So you know, there

698
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 2: are different opinions about the Constitution. You know, some people

699
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 2: will view it as this ever leaving a living and breathing, expanding,

700
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 2: malleable document. Others are strict constructionists and believe that what

701
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,959
Speaker 2: the founders wrote in the Constitution, it's what the founders meant.

702
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 2: I tend to lean to that side of the equation.

703
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean I'm necessarily right, but it doesn't mean

704
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 2: my opinion is unfounded or wrong. This is why we

705
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 2: have discussions and debates and why I welcome calls like

706
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 2: you're scary. Yeah, you disagree with me, and that's fine,

707
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 2: But we need to get to the core at the

708
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 2: root of things. You know, is it a question of

709
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,879
Speaker 2: whose ox is being gored? You know, if the Barack

710
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 2: Obama starts launching missiles and blowing people up, and I

711
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 2: can be critical of that. I can be critical of

712
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 2: it when it's a Republican doing it as well. George Bush,

713
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 2: you know they all have done it. Again. It's tascit

714
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 2: approval since no one stops to question the legality of it,

715
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 2: or stops to question, Wait a second, what are we

716
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 2: trying to gain here? What is the ultimate goal? We'll

717
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 2: be happy to give you approval if we can all

718
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,399
Speaker 2: wrap our heads around what we're dealing with and trying

719
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 2: to accomplish. At least it provides a strategy moving forward

720
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 2: to perhaps limited, you know, very broad strikes, random strikes

721
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 2: on oh, like, for example, Bill Clinton blowing up an

722
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,879
Speaker 2: aspirin factory in order to take the attention away from

723
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 2: him and Monica Lewinsky's little issue going on. You see,

724
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 2: there are abuses of that kind of power that do

725
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 2: go on in the world, and that's that's all I'm

726
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:09,240
Speaker 2: rallying against.

727
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 5: So that's why I understand there has been abuses of it.

728
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 5: I think that's that's that's a valid point. But you know,

729
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 5: I think the commander in chief has a very strong

730
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 5: action to take action against foreign foes as he seems fit,

731
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 5: because that's why we elected him, you know, and if

732
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 5: you don't like it, you can unelect him.

733
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 2: Well, let me just throw at an interesting thought exercise

734
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 2: at you. There are a lot of people, even in

735
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 2: our elected capacity, members of Congress, members of the Senate

736
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 2: that think that Israel is waging a war of genocide

737
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 2: in Gaza, and of course genocide bad. And there may

738
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 2: be an administration, perhaps the next one, if we get

739
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,720
Speaker 2: a Democrat in who abides by that philosophy, labels Israel

740
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 2: a terrorist organization, one that engages in genocide, and then

741
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 2: chooses to start going after targets in Israel. For that.

742
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 2: I know it's a wild thing to suggest, considering the

743
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 2: nature of our very very deep relationship with Israel, something

744
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 2: that Democrats and Republicans would all agree we have. But

745
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 2: if you give the president that much leeway an authority,

746
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 2: it is certainly within the realm of conceivable that they

747
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 2: could go down that road. Why well, because they're committing

748
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,760
Speaker 2: acts of genocide, which we don't approve of as a

749
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,240
Speaker 2: concept here in the United States.

750
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 5: So well, thank you, no, thank.

751
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 2: You, Hey, listen man, I love you too. I like

752
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 2: the decid listen. I like to engage in these back

753
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 2: and forth discussions. I am not saying ultimately that you

754
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 2: are wrong. In the final analysis, someone say, see New Hampshire,

755
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 2: Gary was right, this is how this is where we

756
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 2: ended up, or that the status quo is okay with everybody.

757
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 2: We're going to allow this sort of fast and loose

758
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,720
Speaker 2: with dropping bombs to go on because we can make

759
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 2: an argument that these are, you know, existential threats. They're

760
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 2: inevitable there. You know that we need to stop them

761
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 2: as early as possible because they're going to hurt us.

762
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 2: I know those arguments. I hear them all day long.

763
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 2: But again, we just look at blowing up a speedboat

764
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 2: fifteen hundred miles away from US, and you say that

765
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 2: they represent an imminent threat. That word eminent tends to

766
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 2: be a problem for me because I don't see a

767
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,720
Speaker 2: speedboat moving forty miles an hour toward US fifteen hundred

768
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 2: miles away as an eminent threat. Look, there it is,

769
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 2: we're tracking it. We can track it as long as

770
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 2: it's in the water, and we can blow it up

771
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 2: anytime we damn well please. And I prefer it pretty

772
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 2: much confirmation that they're heading here with whatever's on the

773
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 2: boat before we blow it up, because it's heading to oh,

774
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 2: I don't know, some other country that's it. I appreciate Gara,

775
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 2: I really do. Man, Merry Christmas if we don't talk

784
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 5: Yeah.

785
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 2: People are having the same argument about Donald Trump getting

786
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 2: these going after these oil tankers. There's were chasing a

787
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 2: third one, We've already seized two of them. Trying to

788
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 2: impose the sanctions. They're using these sanctioned oil tankers. They're

789
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 2: putting different flags on them to make the appear that

790
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 2: they don't fall within the sanctions. It's false flag, literally,

791
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 2: is what that is. And so the Trump administration is

792
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 2: going after the sanctioned oil tankers and the Democrats are

793
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 2: pulling their hair out of this because well Trump's doing it,

794
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 2: but along perhaps the same lines as my conversation with

795
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 2: the amster Gary, you know what authorities he have to

796
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,919
Speaker 2: do this? And Senator Tim Kine of Virginia point out

797
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 2: the Democrats problem with this. He's on the meat the

798
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 2: press yesterday says Trump used the military to mount pressure

799
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 2: on Maduro, runs contrary to his pledge to keep the

800
00:46:55,160 --> 00:47:01,720
Speaker 2: United States out of unnecessary wars. Perhaps quote, we should

801
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 2: be using sanctions and other tools at our disposal to

802
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 2: punish this dictator who is violating the human rights of

803
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 2: his civilians and has run the Venezuelan economy unto the ground.

804
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 2: But I tell you we should not be waging war

805
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 2: against Venezuela. We definitely should not be waging war without

806
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:20,399
Speaker 2: a vote of Congress. Now, is the seizure of the

807
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 2: oil tankers is that war? It could be a component

808
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 2: of an active war. But his point is, and this

809
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 2: is where we get into this need to perhaps confiscate

810
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 2: or grab these oil tankers who are flying under false flags,

811
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 2: violating without question. Let's assume for the sake of discussion,

812
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 2: there is no factual dispute that these tankers violate international sanctions.

813
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 2: So he says, we should be using sanctions and other

814
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 2: tools to punish the dictator. Well, those sanctions are already

815
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 2: in place. That's the vehicle, the sanctions for our military

816
00:47:55,760 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 2: to grab the tankers. Now, if you take that that vehicle,

817
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 2: that measure of enforcement, this seizure out of the equation,

818
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 2: we're left back where we are, where they're using false

819
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 2: flag tankers to ferry out their oil and keep their

820
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:15,439
Speaker 2: economy afloat. Seventy percent of the revenue that Venezuela relies

821
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 2: upon comes from these well unsanctioned illegal shipments of oil.

822
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 2: And they're going, of course to China, and they were

823
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 2: were apparently going to Cuba, and there was a whole

824
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 2: article on how colossally screwed up Cuba's economy already was

825
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 2: before the sanctions went in effect, before this military blockade

826
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 2: kicked in, which is largely successful. They say, most of

827
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 2: these sanctioned boats are just sitting there in the harbor

828
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 2: and they're not going anywhere. Why because they know that

829
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 2: we're going to pull them over and confiscate the oil.

830
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 2: And the other cover that I find on this one,

831
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 2: at least it appears that the Trump administration is getting

832
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:58,800
Speaker 2: legal authority to do it. After we confiscated the first tanker,

833
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 2: it was done pursuing to a warrant, and then they

834
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 2: said they were going to go to court and get

835
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:08,399
Speaker 2: authorization or have authorization rejected by the court to take

836
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 2: the oil, to seize the actual oil and sell it

837
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 2: off or otherwise let it a nearer to our benefit.

838
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 2: But at least it's going to go through a separate

839
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 2: legal challenge. But you know, go back to Senator Kine.

840
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:25,720
Speaker 2: I understand what he's saying. But if the sanctions aren't

841
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 2: working and they continue to violate the sanctions, what are

842
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 2: we going to is it? Is it double secret sanctions

843
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,800
Speaker 2: that we're going to impose something at a la animal house.

844
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 2: Is there something out there that we haven't used by

845
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 2: way of a sanctioned tool or a non warfare leading

846
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 2: to tool that we still have in our arsenal of tools.

847
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 2: You need a firmly stated letter from Hans blicks right,

848
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 2: Joe that would do it, expressing the unhappiness of the

849
00:49:55,600 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 2: Trump administration for their violations of sanctions. Another strong letter

850
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 2: to follow, and if you don't follow our what we demand,

851
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 2: then then we're going to get really really angry. And

852
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 2: we'll use explatives in the third follow up letter to

853
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 2: prove how angry we are. Yeah, I mean, at some

854
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 2: point you get well, watching the same way in New

855
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,879
Speaker 2: Hampshire Gary's talking about, you go through everything you can

856
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 2: to stop it from happening, and then you're kind of

857
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 2: left with the last resort, which seems to be use

858
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 2: of the American military. There's no question is an extraordinarily

859
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 2: complicated issue. But I do have much less of a

860
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 2: problem with enforcing these sanctions on the oil tankers because

861
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 2: they're out there, they're in place, Venezuela knows about them.

862
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 2: Obviously they are doing everything they can to violate the

863
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 2: sanctions or otherwise get around them. That has to come

864
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 2: with some kind of repercussions. And of course, it wouldn't

865
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 2: it be nice if Congress said, a violation of these

866
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 2: sanctions allows the American military to seize these boats and

867
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 2: their contents. If it was written that way and was

868
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 2: approved that way, I take much greater comfort in it.

869
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 2: Fast and pro roofing can take great comfort calling fast

870
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 2: and pro roofing. There couldn't be talk station. It's sex

871
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 2: thirty right now in fifty five KERR CD talk station

872
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 2: fun number again five one, three, seven, four nine fifty

873
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 2: five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three talk or pound

874
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 2: five fifty on AT and T phones. Have local stories here,

875
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:27,399
Speaker 2: and let's start here with sadly three people dead after

876
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 2: a multi vehicle crash happened in Hamilton where Hamilton Police

877
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 2: and fire departments responded to the area River Road about

878
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,359
Speaker 2: four thirty in the afternoon for a multi vehicle crash.

879
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 2: Crash resulted in three fatalities being investigated by the Butler

880
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 2: County Serious Traffic Accident Reconstruction Team and the Hamilton Police

881
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,399
Speaker 2: Department Detectives. Stretcher River Road between Laurel Avenue and Hayes

882
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 2: Avenue was closed anyway with information called the Hamilton Police

883
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 2: Department Investigation Section. That number, if you can remember it,

884
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 2: five one, three, eight six, eight fifty eight eleven, So

885
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 2: that was awarded this morning. So it is possible that

886
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 2: it's still closed. I don't know what the current status is.

887
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 2: So just listen for Chuck. Excellent point, Joe. But you know,

888
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:15,399
Speaker 2: I'm always reading something when Chuck's doing his traffic. It's

889
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 2: like people tell me about commercials that are running on

890
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 2: the morning show, and they'll say something to me about it.

891
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, I you know, honestly, I'm busy reading something

892
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 2: for the next segment. I told I'm not paying attention. Sorry,

893
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 2: It's just the way my day works. Wilmington, where officials

894
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 2: there have delayed the final approval of a four billion

895
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 2: dollar Amazon data center. This after weeks of intense opposition

896
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 2: from the Wilmington Residence facility, described as spanning four hundred

897
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 2: and seventy one acres off US sixty eight community members

898
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 2: flooding council meetings and organized town halls to voice concerns

899
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 2: about the impact. One resident at THURSDA last Thursday's meeting,

900
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 2: there is not a facility like this anywhere else to

901
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 2: compare to. You have no idea what the harm effects

902
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 2: will be. Someone who well lives directly up next to

903
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 2: the proposed site hadn't been built yet, leading efforts. Her

904
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 2: name's Jeka Jessica Sharp, leading efforts to stop the project.

905
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,919
Speaker 2: We just moved into our homes four or five months ago.

906
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 2: Nobody told us this was going on, that this was

907
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 2: in the works. You build what you think is going

908
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 2: to be your forever home, and then you find out

909
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 2: this is not going to be a farmer's field behind

910
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 2: you anymore. Well, I found that out today. It was devastating.

911
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,240
Speaker 2: There were lots of tears to be shed. I certainly

912
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 2: appreciate that sentiment. My wife and I were looking to

913
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,280
Speaker 2: buy a house when we first moved back from Chicago,

914
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:38,439
Speaker 2: and there was a parcel or there was a very

915
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,240
Speaker 2: very nice house, and we thought, boy, this has everything

916
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 2: we need, the right size yard, the right and I

917
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 2: looked out over the hill behind the house and there

918
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 2: was this massive, massive field close to a you know,

919
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:55,439
Speaker 2: pretty heavily traveled intersection. And you know what I looked

920
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 2: down and what I saw in my mind's eye development

921
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 2: of some sort. But my first thought was, there's going

922
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 2: to be a big box store there. Someday. It's going

923
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 2: to be a massive amount of traffic coming in and

924
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 2: out of there, and then I'm going to be looking

925
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 2: out over my backyard into a box store parking a

926
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,280
Speaker 2: lot of box store. That was what was the deciding

927
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 2: factor in us up buying that. Guess what happened. Yeah,

928
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 2: they built one. So you got open space. And it's

929
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,720
Speaker 2: not a park that's owned by the state of the county.

930
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 2: It can be developed anyway. Council Member Jamie Knowles casts

931
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 2: the only descending vote with the project. When the project

932
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 2: came before the council December fourth, you said that too

933
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 2: many questions remain unanswered about the data center's impact on

934
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 2: the community. Clinton County Port Authority, which supports the project,

935
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 2: says it will bring economic growth and create one hundred

936
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:42,719
Speaker 2: permanent jobs. Miss Sharps of the data center, it moves

937
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 2: forward that it should be built with care, saying if

938
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 2: we do have to have the center, needs to be

939
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 2: responsibly built, needs to be mindful of the residents that

940
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 2: are already here and respectful of this land in the community.

941
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 2: Don't know what that ultimately means. They have additional town

942
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 2: halls planned for early January, which will allow residents more

943
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 2: opportunities to ask questions outside of the regular city council meetings.

944
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,320
Speaker 2: And this delay allows city officials more time to study

945
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 2: the project and then also aggress those adjust to those

946
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 2: community's concerns before making the final decision. So certainly understand

947
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 2: those concerns. And again, sadly Browndog Cafe at Summit Park

948
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:22,479
Speaker 2: has closed. They've been open twenty seven years, ten years

949
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 2: at the Summit Park location. A little heartbroken over that,

950
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 2: considering how much I love that restaurant. But you know,

951
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 2: to the folks at Browndog Cafe, thank you for all

952
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 2: the wonderful meals that I dine earth was served there

953
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 2: over the years, and thank you for allowing us to

Speaker 2: touch with me. You know, regularly over the years, I

967
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 2: regularly call out Maureene. Used to call her conspiracy theorists.

968
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 2: Now I call her a pattern observer marine. I know

969
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:17,760
Speaker 2: you're out there listening earlier, passing along comparable information relating

970
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 2: to Epstein on the heels of my sort of agreement

971
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 2: with Massey about why didn't the FBI give all give

972
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 2: us all the damn documents on Friday, the date the

973
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 2: law said they had to. Instead, it's a trickle, trickle

974
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:34,320
Speaker 2: trickle inviting all kinds of speculations during the pot that

975
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 2: trip is not necessary. Give us the damned documents. That's

976
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:43,360
Speaker 2: what the legislation was overwhelmingly passed bipartisanship. Anyway, back to Marine,

977
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:44,839
Speaker 2: she was the one that first told me to believe

978
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 2: the election was stolen the twenty twenty election. We're rolling

979
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 2: the calendar back five years, and I asked her what

980
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 2: evidence she had, And of course, being a lawyer, I

981
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,319
Speaker 2: know how long it takes to gather evidence. When you

982
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 2: file the suit, you have the discovery period where you

983
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 2: get the documents, you get the information to either support

984
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,439
Speaker 2: or refute your claim. Many of those cases never got

985
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 2: to that state, so it was an allegation of election

986
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 2: interference without any supporting information. So many of those cases

987
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 2: got dismissed. But that does not mean it's over. We

988
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 2: had a bet on that one. I'm like, it's never

989
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 2: gonna happen. The election will not be overturned. There won't

990
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 2: be enough time. Biden will have been in office for

991
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 2: far too long for them to endeavor to unring the bell.

992
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 2: How do you unring the bell? I don't know, never

993
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:31,920
Speaker 2: happened before. So with that, you wait long enough, the

994
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 2: evidence starts to come out. Fulton County, Georgia. This is

995
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 2: pretty amazing now Earlier this month, Fulton County admitted admitted

996
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 2: that about three hundred and fifteen thousand early votes from

997
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty election were illegally certified. However, they were

998
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 2: still included in the final tally. What December ninth hearings

999
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 2: when this admission came was before the Georgia State Election Board.

1000
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 2: This from a challenge filed by a guy named David Cross,

1001
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 2: which is it calls himself a local election integrity acrifice.

1002
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 2: Activists across ellectioned Fulton County violated Georgia statute in the

1003
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 2: handling of advanced voting early voting folks. This ahead of

1004
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty November election, counting hundreds and thousands of votes,

1005
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 2: even though poll workers did not sign off on the

1006
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 2: vote tabulation tapes, which is required by law, and Fulton

1007
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 2: County admitted it. And Brumbaugh, attorney for the Fulton County

1008
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 2: Board of Registration and Elections, told the Elections the Georgia

1009
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 2: State Election Board at the hearing that although she hadn't

1010
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 2: personally seen the tapes, the county does not dispute that

1011
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 2: the tapes were not signed. It was these are her words,

1012
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 2: there's lawyer words. It was a violation of the rule.

1013
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 2: We since twenty twenty have new leadership and a new building,

1014
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 2: a new board, and a new standard operating procedure, So

1015
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 2: since then the training has been in handed. But we

1016
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 2: do not dispute the allegations from the twenty twenty election.

1017
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 2: Three hundred and fifteen thousand Secretary of State's Office substantiated

1018
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 2: the findings at Fulton County violated official election record document

1019
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 2: process as an initial cap when they discovered that thirty

1020
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 2: six out of thirty seven advanced voting precincts in Fulton

1021
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 2: County did not sign the tabulation tapes as required by

1022
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:33,400
Speaker 2: the statute. In addition to probing the unsigned tabulation tapes,

1023
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 2: the investigation also determined that officials at thirty two polling

1024
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 2: sites failed to verify what are described as zero tapes. Now,

1025
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 2: voting law in Georgia requires poll workers to begin every

1026
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 2: day of voting by printing and signing a zero tape.

1027
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 2: What that means It shows the voting machine is starting

1028
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 2: at zero. Sometimes they leave the information on. If they

1029
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 2: don't reset it, they are a whole bunch of previously

1030
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 2: tabulated votes that are still pre isn't on the system,

1031
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 2: which means of course they'd end up getting recounted if

1032
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 2: they didn't reset it. If you don't have a verification

1033
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 2: that it's set at zero, you don't know what it

1034
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 2: was set at. And again, thirty two polling sites did

1035
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 2: not provide these zero tape validations, and there's no record

1036
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 2: of whether the tabulator was set at zero to the

1037
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 2: start of the polling, no way of telling whether the

1038
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 2: ballots from previous elections were left on the memory card

1039
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 2: and later counted. Its reporter that notably this happened in

1040
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 2: Montana as well, where officials discovered more votes than were

1041
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 2: cast and believe the votes were leftover sample data that

1042
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 2: hadn't been cleared. There's your answer to how you could

1043
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 2: end up with oh, maybe fifty thousand people voting in

1044
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 2: a county that only has forty five thousand people.

1045
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 1: Humph.

1046
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 2: Now, this activist cross these sign tapes are this sole

1047
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 2: legal certification that the reported totals are authentic. Fulton County

1048
01:00:55,520 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 2: produced zero signed tabulator tapes in early voting. This guy

1049
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 2: looked at seventy seven made megabytes of election records that

1050
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 2: he got through a freedom of information court request or

1051
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 2: an open records request. These included one hundred and thirty

1052
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 2: four tabulator tapes. That's where the three hundred and fifteen

1053
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 2: thousand votes come from. Those total tapes equal that amount.

1054
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 2: Each signature block on those tapes was left blank. Again,

1055
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 2: this has been admitted by the officials in response for

1056
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 2: the election oversight. They were not signed off on. He

1057
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:34,919
Speaker 2: also pointed out what he called additional irregularities, polling locations

1058
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 2: being opened at, in his words, impossibly late hours like

1059
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 2: two nine a m. Also found duplicated scanner serial numbers

1060
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 2: that were in the memory devices removed from one scanner

1061
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:52,479
Speaker 2: and printed on an alternative scanner alternate scanner. He says,

1062
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 2: these aren't clerical errors, they are catastrophic breaks in the

1063
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 2: chain of custody and certification because no tape was ever

1064
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 2: legally certified. Full County had no lawful authority to certify

1065
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:04,919
Speaker 2: the advanced voting results of the Secretary of State, Yet

1066
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 2: it did, and the results were accepted and folded into

1067
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 2: the uncertified numbers and Georgia's election total. Court to the

1068
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 2: Secretary of Raffensberger's office. When the law demand's three signatures

1069
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 2: on tabulator tapes, he said, and the county fails to

1070
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 2: follow the rules, those three hundred and fifteen thousand votes are,

1071
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 2: by nef definition, uncertified. What might that mean? The integrity

1072
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 2: of the election is in question, isn't it?

1073
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 5: Now?

1074
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:35,480
Speaker 2: Can you un ring the bell court of the final tally?

1075
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 2: Biden beat Trump in Fulton County by less than twelve

1076
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 2: thousand votes out of nearly five million casts, which allowed

1077
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 2: him to grab the Georgia's sixteen electoral votes. Now, if

1078
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 2: he gave Donald Trump the sixteen electoral votes that he

1079
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:56,280
Speaker 2: probably should have gotten in Georgia, if this was, if

1080
01:02:56,280 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 2: this in fact, they negate these votes, then he still

1081
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 2: wouldn't have won. He was more than sixteen votes electoral

1082
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 2: wise short. However, of the five hundred and twenty thousand

1083
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 2: ballots cast in Fulton County, Biden won more than seventy

1084
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 2: two percent. So, of course, if you apply that seventy

1085
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 2: two percent favorability in Fulton County to Biden across the

1086
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 2: entire three hundred and fifteen thousand, you obviously come up

1087
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 2: with a conclusion that more than twelve thousand the margin

1088
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 2: of victory by Joe Biden, Well just wasn't there. So

1089
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:41,960
Speaker 2: how about that? Oh, look, Maureen's on the line Maureene

1090
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 2: hang on, will take your con to a second six

1091
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:46,480
Speaker 2: forty eight fifty five cares Tike fifty two to fifty

1092
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 2: five care City Talk Station, Michael, U are right, no

1093
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 2: effect on Trump and Georgia, But what the impact on

1094
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 2: the Georgia Senate race in twenty twenty. That one also

1095
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:57,919
Speaker 2: impacted profoundly and probably would have gone a different direction.

1096
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 2: The Republican probably would have won if throughout the three

1097
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 2: hudred and fifteen thou votes that we were just talking about.

1098
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:05,960
Speaker 2: And Maureene is there. I was hoping you're out there

1099
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 2: listening to Mariene. Welcome back to the Morning Show.

1100
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 3: Happy Monday, Good morning, Brian. Okay, I want to talk

1101
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 3: about our bet. I did relinquish on that and pay

1102
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 3: up only because you are smart me out, smarter me

1103
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 3: by making me put a date on when it would occur,

1104
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 3: which was in that period of Trump's administration. So I said, fline,

1105
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 3: even though I knew because of the strategic militantary operation

1106
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:35,320
Speaker 3: that we're in and the thing operation same thing that

1107
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 3: it is going to be overturned and the way that

1108
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 3: the bell is going to be unwrung is through the

1109
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 3: autopen They're going to go backwards in time and undo

1110
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 3: all the things of that administration. So, whether it's the

1111
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 3: autopin on.

1112
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 2: You're saying across the board, any auto pen sign will

1113
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 2: be rejected, not just the ones that he didn't provide

1114
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 2: specific authority for.

1115
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 3: Oh no, No, the ones that he didn't provide they

1116
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 3: can show where he was the time.

1117
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 2: But you can do that regardless of the whether or

1118
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 2: not the vote was stolen. Let's say Joe Biden won

1119
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 2: by a landslide. There's no questioning the integrity to vote.

1120
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 2: This didn't happen in Georgia. Everything was up and up.

1121
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 2: If he used the if they used the executive auto

1122
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 2: pen without his specific authority, that bell can be unwrung

1123
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 2: because it invalidates the signatures just as a matter of

1124
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 2: law on its own, without any other issue being present.

1125
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 2: So we didn't vote on autopen use. We didn't even

1126
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 2: know that was going on. But if we bet on

1127
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 2: autopen use, yeah, the relief is still possible. You just

1128
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 2: just act as if it never happened, and then we

1129
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:37,480
Speaker 2: go back to the reality of the way it existed

1130
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 2: before Biden used it.

1131
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 3: But all the damage that he caused through all his

1132
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 3: orders and different things like that that people behind the

1133
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:48,760
Speaker 3: scenes were actually doing makes them invalid.

1134
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 2: But okay, let's just look at it. Let's look at

1135
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 2: the Green New Deal, the Inflation Reduction Act. He signed

1136
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,920
Speaker 2: that into law. If he wasn't president, he wouldn't have

1137
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 2: signed it into law. And if somebody else was President Trump,

1138
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 2: you know, Trump wouldn't have signed that in law. Howse,

1139
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 2: you aren't going to to terminate that particular piece of

1140
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 2: legislation based upon the voting issues, are you?

1141
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:14,960
Speaker 3: Well? Here as we go with here we go with

1142
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 3: talking about who is actually president. Okay. Trump always says

1143
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:22,400
Speaker 3: we've got it all, meaning from the very beginning, and

1144
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 3: as soon as that election was called for Biden he knew.

1145
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 3: They knew through this sixty thousand NN Army. You can

1146
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 3: look it up in a Newsweek article that has been

1147
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 3: watching everything that's going on via Space Force satellites and

1148
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 3: everything else. That's why I keep calling the sustaining operation.

1149
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 3: They've known every move they've made, and they've given themselves

1150
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 3: enough rope to hang themselves. They gave them that rope,

1151
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:47,120
Speaker 3: and they indeed hung themselves.

1152
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:49,960
Speaker 2: I haven't seen and the public hasn't seen that. It

1153
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 2: hasn't been packaged into a definitive action plan like here,

1154
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 2: we're going to open a Senate commission, a committee, and

1155
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 2: we're going to ultimately do this, that or the other

1156
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,920
Speaker 2: thing in order to unring the bell injustice that was

1157
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:04,000
Speaker 2: perpetrated on the American people. So that's still floating around

1158
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 2: back in the background somewhere. I haven't seen.

1159
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 3: It, but you will. It will come out right And here, you.

1160
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 2: Know, what do you do that? See this gets back

1161
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 2: to the original question, Well, then what do you do?

1162
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 3: Well, then you change all those things, undo them, and

1163
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 3: start on a clean path. And what he's going to

1164
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 3: do is the meeting had the other night that everybody

1165
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 3: tuned into that was just one of many to come

1166
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 3: in the next I don't know if it's the exact

1167
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:31,840
Speaker 3: next one or one that's going to come down. He's

1168
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 3: going to declare a national election emergency, and therefore that

1169
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 3: gives him unique powers, and then he will find an

1170
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:43,440
Speaker 3: executive order outlining new election rules, which will be paper ballots,

1171
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 3: water marked in person, one day voting counts of votes

1172
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:50,840
Speaker 3: where they were cast, nothing by mail under extreme circumstances perhaps,

1173
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 3: but that's can't take us.

1174
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 2: Which we relate to federal elections, which means on a

1175
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 2: going forward basis, we'll have greater election integrity, but it

1176
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 2: doesn't change the reality of what happened previously. I mean,

1177
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:04,560
Speaker 2: go back to my Green New Deal. Is everybody who

1178
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 2: got a subsidy under the Green New Deal going to

1179
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 2: have to return it? If we unring that bell, the

1180
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:12,160
Speaker 2: subsidy would be invalid from the outset ergo. Someone who

1181
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:16,800
Speaker 2: received the subsidy under an unauthorized, invalid administration should not

1182
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:18,720
Speaker 2: be able to enjoy the benefits of what would be

1183
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 2: an invalid piece of legislation.

1184
01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 3: Well, maybe there's executive orders already in place where you

1185
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 3: confiscate things that were that were obtained.

1186
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 2: God object boring. We're out of time just showing how

1187
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 2: blank and complicated this would be. That's just one bill

1188
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:37,040
Speaker 2: and one bell that you would need to be unwrung

1189
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:41,280
Speaker 2: at massive and horrific chaos and expense. I just can't

1190
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 2: see it happening.

1191
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:42,640
Speaker 1: You know.

1192
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 2: I love you, Maury, have a very I'm practical, practical,

1193
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 2: all right when it happens, say I told you so,

1194
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:54,720
Speaker 2: Love you, Maury, and Merry Christmas. Stick around, folks, A

1195
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 2: little more to talk about before we get the Christopher

1196
01:08:56,240 --> 01:09:00,560
Speaker 2: Smithman at seven twenty. Today's top headlines may up to

1197
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 2: the talk station. It's seven oh sisters here at fifty

1198
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:25,599
Speaker 2: five cases talk station. Very Merry Christmas Day, every bring one.

1199
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:28,000
Speaker 2: Gotta do the Christmas Special tomorrow. Rob Rider in city

1200
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:30,559
Speaker 2: with his guitar and we'll take all kinds of calls,

1201
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 2: hopefully with well wishes and the holiday spirit and whatever

1202
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:35,439
Speaker 2: else Rob and I can decide to do tomorrow. I

1203
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 2: am looking forward to that. It's got an Ottle family

1204
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 2: or it's a fifty five car Sea tradition, and I

1205
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 2: always think of my dad when we do the Christmas show.

1206
01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 2: So that'll be tomorrow morning. And today coming up at

1207
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:48,559
Speaker 2: seven twenty Christopher Smithman with a Smither event one hour

1208
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:50,599
Speaker 2: from now Monday Money with Brian James. We'll talk about

1209
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 2: whether two point seven percent inflation is good news or not.

1210
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:56,439
Speaker 2: So it's a security facing cuts and who's gonna save it?

1211
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:00,080
Speaker 2: Keep going back to that continuing theme, no one will.

1212
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 2: They don't want to touch it. And then the follow

1213
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:04,879
Speaker 2: up topic with a third of Americans believing social security

1214
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 2: will not exist when they retire, probably a good mentality

1215
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 2: to have considering the foring of the prior topic. Who's

1216
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:13,639
Speaker 2: going to save it, because well, we've got a real

1217
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 2: train wreck on our hands with that one, plus the

1218
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:20,360
Speaker 2: SEC giving clearance for tokenized stocks. If you don't know

1219
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:21,960
Speaker 2: what that is, you and I will learn together to

1220
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:24,960
Speaker 2: move towards block Jane Brian James for that. And then

1221
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:28,519
Speaker 2: the wonderful humanitarian she is, Patti Scott returns Heart number

1222
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:32,639
Speaker 2: four Seniors dot Org Heartforce Seniors, and Patty will comment

1223
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 2: on the generosity of the listening audience every time she's on.

1224
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 2: She does, and I can't thank you enough for being

1225
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 2: so generous, not only just for donating to Heart for

1226
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:42,519
Speaker 2: Seniors and the wonderful work they do locally for the

1227
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:46,960
Speaker 2: senior community, but for all the charitable responses that I

1228
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 2: hear about from my listening audience. It was just last

1229
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:51,759
Speaker 2: week I was talking to I heard me the aviation

1230
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:54,640
Speaker 2: expert Jay Ratliffe, and before I started with him on

1231
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 2: his topics, I mentioned the just beautiful gift. A woman

1232
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 2: I believe her name was Sharon donated one one thousand dollars.

1233
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,639
Speaker 2: I had Brian Ibold on for the Help Squad, which

1234
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 2: you can find online at the Help Squad, since he

1235
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:09,519
Speaker 2: with a y sin Help squadsincey dot com and there

1236
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 2: are Christian Faith Collaborative helping folks on the West Side

1237
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,720
Speaker 2: that are dealing with struggles Shivia, Coleraine, Dell High and

1238
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:18,840
Speaker 2: Green Townships, and they really do a great job. And

1239
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 2: I started off by mentioning the thousand dollars contribution this

1240
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:24,640
Speaker 2: woman made and I just was so moved by that

1241
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 2: I had to thank her for that. And then Jay Ratliff,

1242
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:29,120
Speaker 2: who does not want me to say this out loud,

1243
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:31,520
Speaker 2: I'm sure because I didn't even learn it from him,

1244
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 2: he wrote down the website and low and behold, guess

1245
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 2: who got another thousand dollars contribution After I talk with

1246
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 2: Jay Ratliffe. God bless you, Jay Ratliffe. He is an

1247
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 2: unbelievably humanitarian guy. So helping folks who really truly need

1248
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:47,559
Speaker 2: the help, that's what the Help Squad does. That's what

1249
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:49,720
Speaker 2: folks like Jay do, and that's what folks like you do.

1250
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 2: And you are all just tremendous, tremendous in your compassion,

1251
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 2: your willingness to give to those truly in need. And

1252
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:00,640
Speaker 2: it just that brings me more joy than anything for

1253
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:03,880
Speaker 2: just to be in a position to let folks know

1254
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:06,960
Speaker 2: about these organizations and the charitable work that's being done,

1255
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:10,639
Speaker 2: and so you can fulfill your personal mission to engage

1256
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:14,080
Speaker 2: in some measure of help and assistance and compassion for

1257
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 2: folks that are on life's margins. So God bless each

1258
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:20,719
Speaker 2: and every one of you. And moving over this pesky

1259
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:22,920
Speaker 2: topic of inflation. And I had mentioned earlier in the program.

1260
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:25,799
Speaker 2: You know we talked with Tomacallt earlier about gas prices

1261
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 2: and depends on where you're standing, how much gas is

1262
01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 2: went to Pittsburgh over the weekend visit my wife's sisters

1263
01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:33,800
Speaker 2: north of three dollars in the greater Pittsburgh area, but

1264
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 2: we only paid two dollars and thirty cents to fill

1265
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:37,760
Speaker 2: the tank on the way back after we re entered

1266
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:42,639
Speaker 2: the state of Ohio. Massive difference. So location, location, location,

1267
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:44,439
Speaker 2: But why is it cheaper here in Ohio than it

1268
01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:47,799
Speaker 2: is in California? Interesting op at piece by Elissa Finley

1269
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:51,599
Speaker 2: in the Journal dated the twenty first yesterday. So it

1270
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:53,760
Speaker 2: starts out trivia question for your holiday road trip in

1271
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 2: which five metropolitan areas did consumer price index rise? Since

1272
01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 2: we're talking with Brian James later about inflation by less

1273
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:05,080
Speaker 2: than two percent over the preceding twelve months. The answer

1274
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:08,280
Speaker 2: Detroit Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Atlanta, all coming in less than

1275
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 2: one point seven percent inflation, Detroit with only point seven

1276
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:14,479
Speaker 2: percent now pivoting over the four metro areas where the

1277
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:17,599
Speaker 2: price on average have increased by more than three percent

1278
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 2: Philadelphia three point three, La three point six, San Diego

1279
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 2: four in Riverside, California jump four and a half percent.

1280
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:27,640
Speaker 2: M Here's the point, Milton Friedman, she says, Observe the

1281
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:33,040
Speaker 2: inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon. Think about

1282
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:34,880
Speaker 2: the printing press. The more dollars in the world, the

1283
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:41,240
Speaker 2: less valuable they are. However, affordability, what any given item costs,

1284
01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:44,840
Speaker 2: is a lot different and is very much a local phenomenon.

1285
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:47,080
Speaker 2: This goes back to the whole idea of self inflicted

1286
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:49,680
Speaker 2: wounds that I talk about incessantly, and I apologize for

1287
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:53,240
Speaker 2: folks sick of hearing about it. The entire Europeion has

1288
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:57,400
Speaker 2: killed a European Union has killed itself by rendering inexpensive

1289
01:13:57,439 --> 01:14:03,160
Speaker 2: reliable fuels ver Bolten Anyway, She points out housing. Among

1290
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 2: the reasons for the higher CPI rate readings in California's

1291
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:09,080
Speaker 2: metro area are fast rising housing costs that riverside where

1292
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:11,760
Speaker 2: they had four and a half percent inflation, described as

1293
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:14,080
Speaker 2: an exurb of LA. A lot of people moved out

1294
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 2: of the Greater LA area because they can't afford to

1295
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:18,280
Speaker 2: live there, so they went out to places like Riverside,

1296
01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 2: and well, the supply housing hasn't kept up with demand,

1297
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:23,519
Speaker 2: not because the demand isn't there, not because they couldn't

1298
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 2: make money. It's the state's litigation friendly environmental laws and

1299
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:30,920
Speaker 2: strict zoning laws which shoot construction costs up through the

1300
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:35,800
Speaker 2: roof and suppressed development. Housing prices up four point four

1301
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:38,920
Speaker 2: percent in Riverside, five point six in San Diego over

1302
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:44,720
Speaker 2: the preceding twelve months, Dallas up only point one only

1303
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:49,080
Speaker 2: one point one percent in Houston, Phoenix declination a point

1304
01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 2: one percent in housing prices. Wow, now she realizes in

1305
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:55,080
Speaker 2: points out well housing prices and a lot of Sun

1306
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:57,719
Speaker 2: Belt cities also asserged. You know, after the pandemic, people

1307
01:14:57,760 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 2: moved out of New York and went straight down to Florida.

1308
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:04,599
Speaker 2: But more permissive permitting and zoning allowed the housing developers

1309
01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 2: to bring on additional supply quickly. So you look in

1310
01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, where they have a metro population of twelve

1311
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 2: point eight million people, only one hundred and eighteen thousand

1312
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:20,599
Speaker 2: building permits were issued between twenty twenty one and twenty

1313
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 2: twenty four. And you think, Okay, that figure doesn't mean

1314
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:26,479
Speaker 2: anything to me. One hundred and eighteen thousand billion permits

1315
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:28,760
Speaker 2: for twelve point eight million people. Find will give me

1316
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:31,679
Speaker 2: a comparison. Here you go, Atlanta with a six point

1317
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:35,560
Speaker 2: three million population, issued one hundred and sixty three thousand,

1318
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:40,120
Speaker 2: five point one million population, Phoenix issued one hundred and

1319
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:44,040
Speaker 2: eighty seven thousand. Over in Houston, where the population is

1320
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 2: seven point five million, they issued two hundred and sixty

1321
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:49,599
Speaker 2: seven thousand permits over the same period of time, two

1322
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:52,760
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty one thousand in Dallas, where the population

1323
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:55,720
Speaker 2: is only eight point one million, compared again to Los

1324
01:15:55,760 --> 01:16:00,200
Speaker 2: Angeles twelve point eight what's going on with that? Now?

1325
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 2: She does take a stab at Jadvans, blaming illegal immigrants

1326
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:05,160
Speaker 2: for making housing unaffordable, and I do believe there is

1327
01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:06,960
Speaker 2: a component of that in there. How do you absorb

1328
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:09,360
Speaker 2: twenty million people when you don't have twenty million additional

1329
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 2: housing units? Good question, But pointing to Florida, housing prices

1330
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:18,799
Speaker 2: remain stubbornly high. Why well, the lack of construction workers

1331
01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:20,880
Speaker 2: Now they have great zoning laws down there, and you

1332
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 2: can easily get a permit to build something in Florida,

1333
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 2: and they regularly build houses. But state law that requires

1334
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:29,480
Speaker 2: companies with twenty five or more employees to use everify

1335
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 2: to check the authorization of the worker, in other words,

1336
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:36,280
Speaker 2: ferret out the illegal employees. That's resulted in a substantial

1337
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:40,760
Speaker 2: reduction of construction labor. Why well, apparently forty percent of

1338
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 2: Florida's construction labor force is foreign born, with a good

1339
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:47,519
Speaker 2: share of them undocumented. There's your downside for cracking on

1340
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 2: imgran cracking down on immigration. Are there people out here

1341
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,160
Speaker 2: in the United States that are here lawfully or citizens

1342
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 2: that can do drywall work and construction work? Hell, yes

1343
01:16:55,000 --> 01:17:00,000
Speaker 2: there are. That's called a trade job. On the other hand,

1344
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:02,840
Speaker 2: and moving over to Democrats in California, they don't want

1345
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:06,720
Speaker 2: to build, not a lack of construction workers. It's also

1346
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:08,839
Speaker 2: they don't want to drill for oil either of states.

1347
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:13,479
Speaker 2: Milannge the climate policies driving energy prices up eight percent

1348
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 2: eight point seven percent in San Diego Riverside Poor Riverside

1349
01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:21,320
Speaker 2: up almost eight percent la seven percent, while prices fall

1350
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:25,719
Speaker 2: every place else two point three percent. Down in Atlanta,

1351
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:28,679
Speaker 2: down almost a percent, in Phoenix, down three percent.

1352
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:29,160
Speaker 1: In Detroit.

1353
01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:32,040
Speaker 2: Houston's dropped three point four percent. Going in the right way,

1354
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:37,200
Speaker 2: they don't ban fossil fuels, five point one percent jump

1355
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia for energy prices. They shut down of Colon

1356
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:44,519
Speaker 2: nuclear plans, drove up electric rates. Self inflicted wound. She

1357
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:48,599
Speaker 2: also points to legal abuse which impacts insurance premiums, another

1358
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:51,280
Speaker 2: business costs that ultimately you pay in the form of

1359
01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:56,000
Speaker 2: increased premium. Los Angeles described by the American tort Reform

1360
01:17:56,040 --> 01:18:02,519
Speaker 2: Foundation as a in their words, judicial hellhole. This group,

1361
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:05,519
Speaker 2: called the Periman Group, estimates the total local tortue tax

1362
01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 2: that will be the money imposed on businesses as or

1363
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 2: consequence of settlements or judgments to be three thousand, six

1364
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:18,080
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty eight bucks per person. Mandatory insurance costs

1365
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:22,760
Speaker 2: get a load of this an uber fare in Los Angeles.

1366
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 2: The mandatory insurance costs imposed by legislation in California make

1367
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:34,599
Speaker 2: up forty five percent of the average uber fare, compared

1368
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 2: to about ten percent in most other places in the country.

1369
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:41,200
Speaker 2: She said taking an uber across LA can cost more

1370
01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:45,639
Speaker 2: than a flight to Miami. Higher state mandated minimum wages

1371
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:48,040
Speaker 2: also increase the price of food when you're eating out.

1372
01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:51,439
Speaker 2: Cost of eating out there fourteen point four percent increase

1373
01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 2: in San Diego twelve point four percent. Those poor folks

1374
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:59,200
Speaker 2: in Riverside. Since twenty twenty three, they make it fast

1375
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:01,679
Speaker 2: food employees earn at least twenty dollars an hour. Restaurant

1376
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:05,320
Speaker 2: prices nationwide jumped eight point three percent compared to again

1377
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:09,040
Speaker 2: to fourteen point four in San Diego. Hmmm, I guess

1378
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 2: legislation has consequences. So Donald Trump's busily trying to do

1379
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 2: whatever he can to stop the inflation. Democrats are blaming

1380
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:18,800
Speaker 2: Donald Trump for inflation. Now go ahead and blade Trump

1381
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:21,599
Speaker 2: for printing four or five trillion during his administration, which

1382
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:24,680
Speaker 2: increased the problem that Milton Friedman observed. But you can

1383
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:27,080
Speaker 2: blame the Democrats for doing it to themselves in every

1384
01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:34,320
Speaker 2: other place where they make doing business almost impossible. Simple reality.

1385
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:37,679
Speaker 2: Christopher smithmen up next seven to sixteen, Right now, fifty

1386
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:41,000
Speaker 2: five KRCD talk station. I know it's the twenty second

1387
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:44,120
Speaker 2: of December. I still think you can get seven twenty

1388
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:46,800
Speaker 2: and fifty five KCD talk station on a Monday. That

1389
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:49,839
Speaker 2: means former Vice mayor of the city since Saint Christopher

1390
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:52,760
Speaker 2: Smithman provides us with an opportunity, or gives we give

1391
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 2: him an opportunity to ventist fleen, we call it the

1392
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:56,360
Speaker 2: smith Van on the heels of my father and the

1393
01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:59,479
Speaker 2: Monday morning spleen vent. Welcome back, Christopher. Great to hear

1394
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:02,680
Speaker 2: from you, and a very very happy Merry Christmas to

1395
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:03,800
Speaker 2: you and your family, my friend.

1396
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:07,960
Speaker 9: Oh, Merry Christmas to you, Brian Thomas and your whole family,

1397
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:13,200
Speaker 9: And Marry Christmas to your very loyal listening audience. You know,

1398
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:16,840
Speaker 9: I am appreciative that they tune in to your show

1399
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 9: like I do, and they give me an opportunity, you know,

1400
01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:24,200
Speaker 9: on Monday mornings to express things to them. So Merry

1401
01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 9: Christmas to all of them, and I thank you for

1402
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:31,080
Speaker 9: the opportunity to share my thoughts.

1403
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:32,559
Speaker 7: Brian.

1404
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:37,040
Speaker 9: The first thing that's on my mind is an autopsy

1405
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 9: of the local election that we just went through, and

1406
01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:42,680
Speaker 9: I'm going to hone in on one specific part of it,

1407
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:46,200
Speaker 9: and I want to reiterate this to the public. We

1408
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 9: were all lied to in Cincinnati as we went into

1409
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:54,680
Speaker 9: the local election. This is not about Christopher Smitherman, This

1410
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:58,280
Speaker 9: is not about Corey Bowman, this is not about Liz

1411
01:20:58,360 --> 01:21:03,519
Speaker 9: Keating or Steve Gooden as some examples. This is about

1412
01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 9: a corrupt government at City Hall. I mean everything that

1413
01:21:09,200 --> 01:21:16,320
Speaker 9: I'm saying now. The public deserved to know that we

1414
01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:21,719
Speaker 9: were in settlement talks for eight point one million dollars

1415
01:21:21,760 --> 01:21:27,519
Speaker 9: to give to protesters downtown. There is no way that

1416
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:32,240
Speaker 9: the city manager, the mayor, the entire city solicitor's office,

1417
01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:36,000
Speaker 9: whomever you want to talk about, and the media should

1418
01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:38,680
Speaker 9: have known. They should have been digging, They should have

1419
01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:41,160
Speaker 9: been asking questions, They should have been trying to say,

1420
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:46,480
Speaker 9: what should we know going into this election. This administration

1421
01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:50,439
Speaker 9: hid that from the public. Do I believe that it

1422
01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:54,680
Speaker 9: would have changed the outcome of the election. No, But

1423
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 9: we deserved to have that information because Brian Thomas, as

1424
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:02,360
Speaker 9: a person, a mediate personality, would have done a deep

1425
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 9: dive into that would have educated voters prior to voting

1426
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 9: that City Hall was about to settle eight point one

1427
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:12,639
Speaker 9: million or total of maybe ten million, because the lawyers

1428
01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:15,280
Speaker 9: are getting two million, and that the city was going

1429
01:22:15,320 --> 01:22:19,280
Speaker 9: to have to issue judgment bonds, by the way, in

1430
01:22:19,439 --> 01:22:22,200
Speaker 9: order to pay that debt, because they weren't going to

1431
01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:25,839
Speaker 9: pay the debt. We are paying the debt. We forget

1432
01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:28,840
Speaker 9: we act like Mayor pure vall is going into his

1433
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:33,759
Speaker 9: pocket with his repolled cars, taking the money and paying

1434
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 9: out the ten million. He's not the people that are

1435
01:22:37,240 --> 01:22:40,280
Speaker 9: in the city who are paying that income tax. We

1436
01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:44,559
Speaker 9: are the ones paying this bill. We deserved to know

1437
01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:49,400
Speaker 9: that information prior to the election. There is no media

1438
01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:52,880
Speaker 9: outlet in this town that has put that in black

1439
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 9: and white for us to see. I'm not focused on

1440
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:58,880
Speaker 9: the eight point one. I'm focused on the corruption. I'm

1441
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:03,559
Speaker 9: focused on hit that from us. And this is what's

1442
01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:07,479
Speaker 9: wrong with our local government's public that we don't do

1443
01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:09,519
Speaker 9: a deep dive and we don't look back and we

1444
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:12,760
Speaker 9: don't think why didn't they tell us that prior to

1445
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:15,160
Speaker 9: the election. It was right after the election. Oh, we've

1446
01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:18,160
Speaker 9: got this settlement. We're not going to trial, We're not

1447
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 9: gonna fight this. We're gonna surrender, and we're just gonna

1448
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:23,880
Speaker 9: give out ten million dollars of your money, pay the

1449
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:26,519
Speaker 9: lawyers two million, and then send out eight point one

1450
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 9: million dollars to everybody else. And we're gonna issue judgment

1451
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:32,799
Speaker 9: bonds in order to do that. While we're in settlement

1452
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:36,400
Speaker 9: talks with Chief Washington, while we're in settlement talks with

1453
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:39,760
Speaker 9: Chief CG. Meaning we know there's gonna be other settlements

1454
01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:42,519
Speaker 9: that were coming. We were aware of those things. We

1455
01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:45,759
Speaker 9: were absolutely unaware of this. And this is big because

1456
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:49,799
Speaker 9: it absolutely impacts our police department. It impacts our budget,

1457
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:54,840
Speaker 9: It impacts our trust of them, meaning we were to

1458
01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 9: weigh in and said, no, we don't want you to

1459
01:23:56,320 --> 01:23:59,120
Speaker 9: settle that case. We want this to go to trial.

1460
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:02,280
Speaker 9: What are our options? That's the taxpayers. The taxpayers were

1461
01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:05,840
Speaker 9: never brought in where there were any public hearings, any

1462
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 9: discussions for us other than them voting on the settlement.

1463
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:12,240
Speaker 9: But we didn't have an opportunity to weigh in. Those

1464
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:16,080
Speaker 9: who are paying the bill had no opportunity to weigh

1465
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,400
Speaker 9: in and say we want to go to trial. I'd

1466
01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:20,960
Speaker 9: rather pay fifty million dollars and say we had our

1467
01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:23,599
Speaker 9: day in court. They give them a point one million.

1468
01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 9: Is that fair, Brian Thomas.

1469
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:28,200
Speaker 2: It's fair that you hold that opinion, Christopher. I understand

1470
01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:31,720
Speaker 2: where it's coming from all day long, and you know,

1471
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 2: to the extent they were able to reveal what was

1472
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:37,519
Speaker 2: going on in settlement negotiations, I don't know it could

1473
01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:40,080
Speaker 2: have been governed by the attorney clan privilege or but

1474
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 2: the reality that the lawsuit was filed and where we

1475
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:45,560
Speaker 2: were in the lawsuit and what the subject matter of

1476
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:48,280
Speaker 2: the lawsuit was should have been a topic of regular conversation.

1477
01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 2: So we're at least all aware. And this settlement didn't

1478
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:53,280
Speaker 2: come out of the right field, which it seems to

1479
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:54,559
Speaker 2: have come out of right field.

1480
01:24:54,640 --> 01:25:00,640
Speaker 9: Christopher, that's that right field that you describe is the

1481
01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:04,000
Speaker 9: corruption that their lives, their lives, the corruption you and

1482
01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:07,200
Speaker 9: I understand it didn't come from rightfield. And if we

1483
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:11,479
Speaker 9: had a paper of record that was willing to do

1484
01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:15,840
Speaker 9: their job to ask the tough questions that the way

1485
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:18,680
Speaker 9: they used to do thirty or forty years ago, we

1486
01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:22,599
Speaker 9: would have had this information. And right now there's no

1487
01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 9: opinion that's going in the paper saying this was wrong.

1488
01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:28,960
Speaker 9: The way it was handled was wrong. We were in

1489
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 9: the middle of an election and this government should have

1490
01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:36,040
Speaker 9: provided this information to the public. Where is that article.

1491
01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:41,680
Speaker 9: It doesn't exist. Everybody seems to be working together, Brian Thomas,

1492
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:44,800
Speaker 9: to undermine the people. And this is what is so

1493
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:48,000
Speaker 9: frustrating and why I wanted to start my spleen bit

1494
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:50,479
Speaker 9: this morning say I'm not focused on the eight million

1495
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:53,559
Speaker 9: eight point one million. I've already talked about that. I'm

1496
01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:56,759
Speaker 9: this morning talking about the corruption of the eight point

1497
01:25:56,800 --> 01:26:00,919
Speaker 9: one million, and that's all tied into the Irish contract

1498
01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 9: that just happened to happen right after the election. Let's

1499
01:26:05,240 --> 01:26:08,320
Speaker 9: just drop down another six hundred and fifty plus thousand

1500
01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:13,320
Speaker 9: dollars to her, by the way, right after the election.

1501
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:16,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, two days later to call corruption, hold on corruption. Well,

1502
01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:18,599
Speaker 2: I know he has more on his mind. We're out

1503
01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:21,639
Speaker 2: of time. In the segment seven twenty seven, me mentioned

1504
01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:24,639
Speaker 2: very quickly, my friends are calling electric for residential electric needs.

1505
01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:26,760
Speaker 2: It's calling electric and I don't know, but I have

1506
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:27,680
Speaker 2: a really strong.

1507
01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:29,360
Speaker 1: Curency Deep Dog Station.

1508
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:33,280
Speaker 2: Seven thirty one fifty five Ker City Talk Station Bryan

1509
01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:35,080
Speaker 2: Thomas with former vice mayor of the city since Saint

1510
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:37,839
Speaker 2: Christopher's Smithman and maybe back Christopher.

1511
01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:38,000
Speaker 9: You know.

1512
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:39,760
Speaker 2: One of the interesting things I talked to Andre Ewing.

1513
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:41,640
Speaker 2: Brother Drey was on the program last Friday, and I

1514
01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:44,439
Speaker 2: asked him specifical about I Iris Rowlie, who's been has

1515
01:26:44,720 --> 01:26:49,640
Speaker 2: very influential, and he said, and I'm boiling down his

1516
01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:52,000
Speaker 2: comments too, And I asked him directly along the lines

1517
01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:56,200
Speaker 2: of well, if Iris Rawley had been against aftab per

1518
01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:58,639
Speaker 2: vol for whatever reason, if he rubbed her the wrong

1519
01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:01,800
Speaker 2: way or didn't agree to this contract for another However,

1520
01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:04,120
Speaker 2: many years the six hundred and fifty thousand dollars contract

1521
01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:07,000
Speaker 2: we learned about after the election. Would it have changed

1522
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 2: the election? I specifically said, would Corey Bowman have won?

1523
01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:15,360
Speaker 2: And he said yes. Now, he's one man with one opinion,

1524
01:27:15,400 --> 01:27:19,400
Speaker 2: But that suggests that Iris rolely wields a tremendous amount

1525
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:21,240
Speaker 2: of power among those who show up to vote in

1526
01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:22,280
Speaker 2: the city of Cincinnati.

1527
01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:27,879
Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't think. I don't agree there, but that's okay.

1528
01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:32,320
Speaker 9: I really have high respect for Andre. He's in his

1529
01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:37,120
Speaker 9: service to our city. But what I will say, and

1530
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:40,240
Speaker 9: I think the both of us, Andrea and I would

1531
01:27:40,280 --> 01:27:46,080
Speaker 9: agree that she actively campaigned for him. So you have

1532
01:27:46,160 --> 01:27:51,720
Speaker 9: a contractor that's getting lots of money, and she's actively

1533
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:57,760
Speaker 9: following Corey Bowman around, screaming at him, shouting at him

1534
01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:02,720
Speaker 9: during the debate or any event that he might go to.

1535
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:07,720
Speaker 9: She's showing up and clowning. She was an arm of

1536
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:12,360
Speaker 9: his campaign. The public doesn't understand that if you're a

1537
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:15,760
Speaker 9: city employee, you're not supposed to do that. But what

1538
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:19,360
Speaker 9: they've done, is they're slicing this thing. Well, she's not

1539
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:22,600
Speaker 9: an employee, she's a ten ninety nine er, she's a contractor.

1540
01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:26,120
Speaker 9: So therefore, as she takes our money, she can engage

1541
01:28:26,160 --> 01:28:32,360
Speaker 9: directly in politics. She had a nepotism by giving fifty

1542
01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:34,840
Speaker 9: eight dollars an hour to family members and hooking up

1543
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:38,720
Speaker 9: friends down there. And by the way, we had a

1544
01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:43,200
Speaker 9: whole discussion publicly about invoices that were submitted, lack of

1545
01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:49,439
Speaker 9: transparency on what our roi, our roi helping young people.

1546
01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:52,240
Speaker 9: A lot of us believe that that money could be

1547
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:56,640
Speaker 9: spent very differently with better outcomes. But why after the

1548
01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:59,519
Speaker 9: election do you give her the contract? It was a

1549
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:03,960
Speaker 9: reward public. You did your job, soldier, You went out

1550
01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:07,840
Speaker 9: there and campaigned for me I want, and now you

1551
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:13,360
Speaker 9: get your money. That's what we call corruption. We should

1552
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:15,639
Speaker 9: have had all of this information. And by the way,

1553
01:29:15,800 --> 01:29:19,760
Speaker 9: the city manager isn't asking any more questions about what

1554
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:24,800
Speaker 9: she's doing, how she's submitting her invoices, who's getting paid what,

1555
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:29,479
Speaker 9: knowing that family members are getting paid, friends and family

1556
01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:33,280
Speaker 9: are getting paid, no questions at all public. But guess

1557
01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:37,439
Speaker 9: what elections have consequences. We knew that going into the election,

1558
01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:41,200
Speaker 9: and many in the city just didn't care. They were

1559
01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:42,640
Speaker 9: just so for Oh, I'm not going to vote for

1560
01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:46,240
Speaker 9: Corey Bowman. I'm going to vote for this guy right here.

1561
01:29:46,680 --> 01:29:50,240
Speaker 9: And then we find out after the election that his

1562
01:29:50,360 --> 01:29:53,760
Speaker 9: cars are being repolled, that you and I know as

1563
01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:59,000
Speaker 9: just financially literate people, that when your cars are being repolled,

1564
01:29:59,439 --> 01:30:02,640
Speaker 9: that they're you writing you, reaching out to you, your

1565
01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:04,920
Speaker 9: payment isn't made. He asks like, oh, this just fell

1566
01:30:04,920 --> 01:30:06,600
Speaker 9: out of the sky. They just came and refold my

1567
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:09,320
Speaker 9: car in front of the city hall public. That is

1568
01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:13,400
Speaker 9: absolutely untrue. This is a guy that doesn't even know

1569
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:18,400
Speaker 9: how to manage his own checkbook, and he's now taught

1570
01:30:18,600 --> 01:30:22,400
Speaker 9: now in charge of managing a billion dollar budget, which,

1571
01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:25,000
Speaker 9: by the way, we have a massive deficit that this

1572
01:30:25,080 --> 01:30:28,679
Speaker 9: city's going to have to resolve because COVID dollars are gone.

1573
01:30:28,720 --> 01:30:31,360
Speaker 9: There's no more offsets, so they're gonna actually have to

1574
01:30:31,600 --> 01:30:34,519
Speaker 9: roll up their sleeves and actually do some work down there.

1575
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:37,160
Speaker 9: But at the end of the day, this election was

1576
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:40,880
Speaker 9: let me pay everybody off. Here's your eight point one million,

1577
01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:43,679
Speaker 9: two million dollars to the lawyers. And by the way,

1578
01:30:43,880 --> 01:30:49,759
Speaker 9: the lead lawyer is Irish Rolly's total best friend, meaning

1579
01:30:50,080 --> 01:30:53,760
Speaker 9: al Gerhardstein in Irish Roly are tied at the hip.

1580
01:30:54,040 --> 01:30:57,600
Speaker 9: They're all this is the guy that brought the collaborative

1581
01:30:57,600 --> 01:31:00,800
Speaker 9: agreement to the City of Cincinnati. He wrote it. So

1582
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:04,840
Speaker 9: Iris and him are on the same team, right, this

1583
01:31:04,960 --> 01:31:07,840
Speaker 9: is all the same thing. I would not be surprised

1584
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:10,160
Speaker 9: that she wasn't even at the table for the negoti

1585
01:31:10,240 --> 01:31:13,599
Speaker 9: is because they will bring Iris into the room if

1586
01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:16,880
Speaker 9: you talk to the president, the FOP president, they bring

1587
01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:19,960
Speaker 9: her into meetings that there's no way in hell she

1588
01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:24,200
Speaker 9: should be in the room discussing anything. But my point is,

1589
01:31:24,280 --> 01:31:25,720
Speaker 9: at the end of the day, it boils down to

1590
01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:28,519
Speaker 9: one feed corruption and the second thing it boils down

1591
01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:31,640
Speaker 9: to is there what is the ROI the violence and

1592
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:35,040
Speaker 9: skill happening throughout the winter. The violence will continue in

1593
01:31:35,040 --> 01:31:37,800
Speaker 9: the summer and all of these people will continue to

1594
01:31:37,840 --> 01:31:38,680
Speaker 9: get paid.

1595
01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:42,280
Speaker 2: And that's the what results do we get from our

1596
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:44,960
Speaker 2: money question that no one seems to be asking or

1597
01:31:45,040 --> 01:31:47,640
Speaker 2: following up on. Christopher Smith and hold On will come

1598
01:31:47,640 --> 01:31:49,240
Speaker 2: back just a moment here I want to mention.

1599
01:31:49,680 --> 01:31:50,800
Speaker 1: De talk station.

1600
01:31:56,360 --> 01:32:00,000
Speaker 2: Here at fifty five Karrose de Talk Station, Christopher Smith

1601
01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:03,200
Speaker 2: been on the phone doing an admirable job pointing out

1602
01:32:03,240 --> 01:32:07,400
Speaker 2: the fraud corruption going on in downtown Cincinnati. Christopher, what

1603
01:32:07,439 --> 01:32:08,719
Speaker 2: else is on your mind today?

1604
01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:13,920
Speaker 9: Look what is happening in Minnesota with the corruption. We

1605
01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:16,519
Speaker 9: have to keep our eye on that. There were thirteen

1606
01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:20,720
Speaker 9: people charged this week for medicaid fraud. Now, what is

1607
01:32:20,840 --> 01:32:29,559
Speaker 9: medicaid right? Medicaid is that safety net service that provides free,

1608
01:32:30,040 --> 01:32:36,920
Speaker 9: low cost health coverage for millions of people Americans who

1609
01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:41,200
Speaker 9: are in the category of low incomes. Why wouldn't the

1610
01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:48,439
Speaker 9: Democrats be really angry to hear that someone from other

1611
01:32:48,520 --> 01:32:56,880
Speaker 9: countries we're taking advantage of Americans who deserve and need

1612
01:32:56,920 --> 01:33:00,519
Speaker 9: the safety net services in the tune of eight billion

1613
01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:06,200
Speaker 9: dollars of corruption coming out of one state. So you

1614
01:33:06,360 --> 01:33:10,960
Speaker 9: know they're not serious because they're trying to explain this away.

1615
01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:14,479
Speaker 9: Put it on the back pages, No real articles, no

1616
01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:18,720
Speaker 9: deep dives. Thirteen people's were thirteen people were charged for

1617
01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:23,160
Speaker 9: medicaid fraud. Fifth week? Oh there going to be more?

1618
01:33:23,240 --> 01:33:24,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's that's on top of the ones that

1619
01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:27,360
Speaker 2: were already charged. I mean, it's we're entering into the

1620
01:33:27,640 --> 01:33:30,479
Speaker 2: billions of dollars stolen in fraud, waste, and abuse.

1621
01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:35,160
Speaker 9: Right, not one billion, not one billion that they started with. Right,

1622
01:33:35,200 --> 01:33:37,760
Speaker 9: you and I know this thing might hit eight nine,

1623
01:33:37,840 --> 01:33:43,000
Speaker 9: ten billion dollars. This is a deep hole showing that

1624
01:33:43,040 --> 01:33:47,320
Speaker 9: the governor should have known or did know that congressional

1625
01:33:47,400 --> 01:33:53,280
Speaker 9: members should have known or did know they were at

1626
01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:58,560
Speaker 9: campaigns events getting money from these people who were defrauding

1627
01:33:58,720 --> 01:34:03,920
Speaker 9: our government, taking money from the poor, from medicaid, the

1628
01:34:03,960 --> 01:34:08,800
Speaker 9: people that Democrats say they care so much about, and

1629
01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:12,679
Speaker 9: then took the money and sent it to their country, right,

1630
01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:18,880
Speaker 9: took lavish trips, traveled all around the world full first class,

1631
01:34:19,240 --> 01:34:25,519
Speaker 9: spending our precious federal dollars for the poor. That is

1632
01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:29,000
Speaker 9: what is so crazy about this public that that you

1633
01:34:29,080 --> 01:34:32,760
Speaker 9: have Democrats that are turning because they're more interested in

1634
01:34:32,880 --> 01:34:37,679
Speaker 9: gaining power in the mid term elections. They're more concerned

1635
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:41,360
Speaker 9: about that than they are in exposing this fraud. So

1636
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:44,200
Speaker 9: what they're trying to do is act like the federal government.

1637
01:34:44,320 --> 01:34:49,519
Speaker 9: Trump is on some rage, he's trying to undermine something.

1638
01:34:50,520 --> 01:34:53,160
Speaker 9: All he's doing is showing us here's a here's a

1639
01:34:53,240 --> 01:34:57,360
Speaker 9: state that is that is absolutely a deep state that

1640
01:34:57,479 --> 01:35:02,919
Speaker 9: is engaging in fraud against the poorest people in our country,

1641
01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:07,800
Speaker 9: Our Americans who need this medicaid, these Medicaid dollars that

1642
01:35:07,880 --> 01:35:11,360
Speaker 9: they've been taking, siphoning that money off for their own

1643
01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:15,439
Speaker 9: personal gain in order to help political candidates, and sending

1644
01:35:15,479 --> 01:35:18,760
Speaker 9: the money to Somalia. And by the way, Somalia is

1645
01:35:18,840 --> 01:35:22,920
Speaker 9: on that list consistently ranked as one of the most

1646
01:35:22,960 --> 01:35:27,719
Speaker 9: corrupt countries on the globe. So we already know meaning

1647
01:35:27,920 --> 01:35:32,360
Speaker 9: people who are the world knows that Somalia's government doesn't

1648
01:35:32,360 --> 01:35:35,280
Speaker 9: have it together. And now all of a sudden we're

1649
01:35:35,320 --> 01:35:38,720
Speaker 9: seeing eight billion dollars of fraud, Medicaid fraud. We've got

1650
01:35:38,760 --> 01:35:42,960
Speaker 9: to keep saying medicaid fraud. That tells you that they

1651
01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:46,760
Speaker 9: were stealing from the poor. The thing that the Democrats

1652
01:35:46,840 --> 01:35:49,880
Speaker 9: say they care so much about, Brian salm Well.

1653
01:35:49,760 --> 01:35:52,919
Speaker 2: And you can focus on, yes, the program is designed

1654
01:35:52,920 --> 01:35:55,280
Speaker 2: to help the poorest out there, and yes, the Democrats

1655
01:35:55,280 --> 01:35:57,360
Speaker 2: typically hold the mantra of the party in favor of

1656
01:35:57,360 --> 01:36:01,839
Speaker 2: helping the poor. But this is an insult to every

1657
01:36:02,120 --> 01:36:05,720
Speaker 2: taxpayer taxpayers out there, because I'm glad part of my

1658
01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:08,080
Speaker 2: taxpayers dollars go to Medicaid program because I want to

1659
01:36:08,080 --> 01:36:10,040
Speaker 2: help those in life's margins. Well, you know what, they

1660
01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:12,559
Speaker 2: don't care about monitoring the program so much so that

1661
01:36:12,840 --> 01:36:15,760
Speaker 2: you know they're they're wasting billions and billions of the

1662
01:36:15,840 --> 01:36:18,240
Speaker 2: dollars that you earn going to work every day and

1663
01:36:18,320 --> 01:36:20,960
Speaker 2: not doing anything about it. They can't admit that this

1664
01:36:21,040 --> 01:36:23,200
Speaker 2: is a good thing, the Democrats, because it exposes a

1665
01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:26,719
Speaker 2: weakness in the program. It's built to not find fraud

1666
01:36:26,720 --> 01:36:29,360
Speaker 2: wasted abuse, or if it's run by an administration that

1667
01:36:29,400 --> 01:36:31,800
Speaker 2: doesn't care to look into it, they just ignore it.

1668
01:36:31,840 --> 01:36:35,320
Speaker 2: And the fraud wasted abuse continues and probably increases because

1669
01:36:35,400 --> 01:36:38,240
Speaker 2: word gets out that there aren't going to be any repercussions.

1670
01:36:38,720 --> 01:36:42,120
Speaker 2: Look new sheriffs in town. Donald Trump, he gets doge going.

1671
01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:44,599
Speaker 2: They start looking out into the world and all these problems,

1672
01:36:44,600 --> 01:36:47,559
Speaker 2: the PPP loans, the COVID relief money, everything else. They

1673
01:36:47,560 --> 01:36:52,080
Speaker 2: discover fraud, fraud, fraud, fraud, and every American taxpayer should

1674
01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:54,320
Speaker 2: be pissed off, if I may be so bold to

1675
01:36:54,400 --> 01:36:58,479
Speaker 2: use that phrase. They can't acknowledge it, they can't admit it,

1676
01:36:58,520 --> 01:37:02,560
Speaker 2: they can't concede it's a victory for the American taxpayer

1677
01:37:02,840 --> 01:37:05,160
Speaker 2: that we found all this. And you know what, they're

1678
01:37:05,200 --> 01:37:08,840
Speaker 2: not even done yet finding all this, Christopher.

1679
01:37:09,439 --> 01:37:11,720
Speaker 9: They're not and the reality of it is you and

1680
01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:15,120
Speaker 9: I understand you're on the right nerve here, Brian Thomas,

1681
01:37:15,120 --> 01:37:19,559
Speaker 9: because these programs they're taking money from us, and they're

1682
01:37:19,600 --> 01:37:22,240
Speaker 9: saying they're helping the poor, and what you and I

1683
01:37:22,280 --> 01:37:25,679
Speaker 9: are finding out they're not. That they're taking our money

1684
01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:29,439
Speaker 9: and they're siphoning that money off of their own personal gain.

1685
01:37:30,320 --> 01:37:34,320
Speaker 9: That is so frustrating. Because our federal tax rates are

1686
01:37:34,400 --> 01:37:37,280
Speaker 9: so high, they keep taking more and more money. They

1687
01:37:37,360 --> 01:37:39,479
Speaker 9: keep saying they got to tax the heck out of

1688
01:37:39,560 --> 01:37:42,360
Speaker 9: us because there's not enough money. We need more money

1689
01:37:42,360 --> 01:37:45,680
Speaker 9: for safety net services. And what the President and the

1690
01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:48,599
Speaker 9: administration is saying is no, we don't. All we have

1691
01:37:48,680 --> 01:37:51,479
Speaker 9: to do is identify where the corruption is. They're splitting

1692
01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:54,760
Speaker 9: of money. People are taking the money and using it

1693
01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:57,200
Speaker 9: for their personal gain. Let's get that out of the

1694
01:37:57,240 --> 01:37:59,760
Speaker 9: system and then see if we can lower taxes because

1695
01:37:59,760 --> 01:38:05,480
Speaker 9: we don't need as much. This just has me so

1696
01:38:05,880 --> 01:38:08,800
Speaker 9: angry because we have so many single moms out there,

1697
01:38:08,840 --> 01:38:11,120
Speaker 9: we have so many people who have disabilities, We have

1698
01:38:11,280 --> 01:38:14,880
Speaker 9: veterans out there who are depending on Medicaid as a

1699
01:38:14,920 --> 01:38:19,120
Speaker 9: safety net service for them. This hits everybody out here

1700
01:38:19,200 --> 01:38:22,639
Speaker 9: who needs safety net services. Democrats out here who do

1701
01:38:22,720 --> 01:38:25,559
Speaker 9: not understand where you and I are talking about. We

1702
01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:29,960
Speaker 9: are finding out that a governor and administration knew all

1703
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:33,200
Speaker 9: about this most likely, or should have known, that eight

1704
01:38:33,320 --> 01:38:36,960
Speaker 9: or nine billion dollars was being taken out of medicaid

1705
01:38:37,400 --> 01:38:39,439
Speaker 9: in order to help that state and those the poor

1706
01:38:39,479 --> 01:38:42,600
Speaker 9: people there. Many they were not getting the services they

1707
01:38:42,640 --> 01:38:46,160
Speaker 9: should have gotten because the money, the money was being stolen.

1708
01:38:48,120 --> 01:38:50,040
Speaker 2: You get the nail on the head on that one, Christopher,

1709
01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:53,200
Speaker 2: just one of a multitude. I started out this morning

1710
01:38:53,280 --> 01:38:55,639
Speaker 2: having a go at the federal government itself. Joni Ernz

1711
01:38:55,680 --> 01:38:58,240
Speaker 2: asking for why the United States Postal Service can't account

1712
01:38:58,280 --> 01:39:01,600
Speaker 2: for twenty one thousand bills. USPS doesn't even know what

1713
01:39:01,600 --> 01:39:04,880
Speaker 2: they're using them for, pivoting over the Pentagon, failed its

1714
01:39:04,920 --> 01:39:07,800
Speaker 2: audit for the eighth consecutive year. They can't pass an audit.

1715
01:39:07,840 --> 01:39:09,719
Speaker 2: They don't have the records to show where the money's going.

1716
01:39:09,920 --> 01:39:12,639
Speaker 2: See this exists in every area of government. I want

1717
01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:16,080
Speaker 2: accountability from the folks within government. Trump administration, Biden administration

1718
01:39:16,200 --> 01:39:18,600
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. I want accountability for all these programs. I

1719
01:39:18,680 --> 01:39:21,600
Speaker 2: want some follow up. I want some people like inspectors

1720
01:39:21,640 --> 01:39:24,800
Speaker 2: general minding the shop and looking to see. First off,

1721
01:39:24,840 --> 01:39:28,080
Speaker 2: one is the program doing what it's supposed to do,

1722
01:39:28,200 --> 01:39:31,559
Speaker 2: actually helping those on life's margins? Too, is the program

1723
01:39:31,600 --> 01:39:34,000
Speaker 2: being abused by fraud? And the answer, at least in

1724
01:39:34,040 --> 01:39:36,439
Speaker 2: Minnesota was yes on that one. Wait for it for

1725
01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:39,559
Speaker 2: the Pentagon. Maybe someday they'll pass an audit. We'll find

1726
01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:40,360
Speaker 2: out what they did.

1727
01:39:40,800 --> 01:39:42,679
Speaker 9: Give me one more minute. This will get your blood

1728
01:39:42,720 --> 01:39:45,320
Speaker 9: boiling real quick, because this is why this Okay, this

1729
01:39:45,400 --> 01:39:48,160
Speaker 9: is what happens. They then go to race and they

1730
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:50,920
Speaker 9: want to make you a racist and everybody a racist

1731
01:39:51,200 --> 01:39:54,200
Speaker 9: for talking about what's happening with Somalia. So you're a

1732
01:39:54,200 --> 01:39:57,320
Speaker 9: Somalian you now you say you're talking about the fraud.

1733
01:39:57,520 --> 01:39:59,880
Speaker 9: Now all of a sudden, you're a racist because you're

1734
01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:03,040
Speaker 9: you're identifying the fraud. I want the public to know,

1735
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:05,960
Speaker 9: you've got to not allow them to get it to

1736
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:09,280
Speaker 9: the identity politics and get us away from the subject

1737
01:40:09,360 --> 01:40:10,360
Speaker 9: matter of the corruption.

1738
01:40:10,640 --> 01:40:13,760
Speaker 2: Stipid argument to do that. It's just stupid.

1739
01:40:14,240 --> 01:40:15,720
Speaker 1: They do it because people are doing it.

1740
01:40:15,680 --> 01:40:17,800
Speaker 2: Because people cower in the in the act, in the

1741
01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:20,760
Speaker 2: face of the accusation when it's not supported by any

1742
01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:24,880
Speaker 2: evidence whatsoever. I don't care if it's the Remulakians coming

1743
01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:28,439
Speaker 2: from the planet of Remulac. It started stealing. It doesn't matter,

1744
01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:32,439
Speaker 2: it's the people who stole it. They stole what defines

1745
01:40:32,479 --> 01:40:39,200
Speaker 2: my and your anger. People stealing money, anyone an American money.

1746
01:40:39,280 --> 01:40:42,080
Speaker 9: It doesn't matter what country they came from, It doesn't

1747
01:40:42,120 --> 01:40:44,400
Speaker 9: doesn't matter what part of the world they live in.

1748
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:46,840
Speaker 9: But this is what they're doing right now. They're going

1749
01:40:46,880 --> 01:40:48,800
Speaker 9: to Democrats are going to continue to try to do it.

1750
01:40:48,960 --> 01:40:51,920
Speaker 9: They're trying to call anybody that calls attention to this

1751
01:40:52,479 --> 01:40:55,519
Speaker 9: a racist or an uncle Tom or someone who is

1752
01:40:55,600 --> 01:40:58,920
Speaker 9: not connected. And I say stay on this bone, follow

1753
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:01,920
Speaker 9: this story, and to make sure we get Minnesota all

1754
01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:05,240
Speaker 9: cleaned up here and this eight billion and nine billion dollars,

1755
01:41:05,400 --> 01:41:07,720
Speaker 9: we follow the money all the way to Congress and

1756
01:41:07,760 --> 01:41:10,840
Speaker 9: figure out who was involved, put them in handcuffs and

1757
01:41:10,880 --> 01:41:11,840
Speaker 9: hold them accountable.

1758
01:41:12,479 --> 01:41:14,879
Speaker 2: You got my vote. You got my vote. Christopher.

1759
01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:17,400

1777
01:41:59,479 --> 01:42:00,960
Speaker 2: to buy about it of the weekend. And yeah, I

1778
01:42:00,960 --> 01:42:02,880
Speaker 2: did use Amazon much of the ciagrete. A lot of

1779
01:42:02,880 --> 01:42:05,240
Speaker 2: people don't think I should chop on Amazon, but to

1780
01:42:05,240 --> 01:42:09,360
Speaker 2: get my daughter's fiance something. So I got a care

1781
01:42:09,439 --> 01:42:12,960
Speaker 2: package put together for Eric and that was it. We're done.

1782
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:14,160
Speaker 2: So I was glad to see that. I know a

1783
01:42:14,200 --> 01:42:16,360
Speaker 2: lot of people wait till the last minute, almost intentionally.

1784
01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:18,679
Speaker 2: It's almost like it's like a sport. For some reason,

1785
01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:21,519
Speaker 2: I'll be damned if I'm running out on the Christmas

1786
01:42:21,520 --> 01:42:22,200
Speaker 2: Eve going to.

1787
01:42:22,160 --> 01:42:25,040
Speaker 8: The ball or see if I find that greatest idea

1788
01:42:25,080 --> 01:42:26,839
Speaker 8: ever or the greatest deal ever.

1789
01:42:26,840 --> 01:42:29,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, or the most ridiculous gee, just see it in

1790
01:42:29,720 --> 01:42:32,880
Speaker 2: the impulse by last minute shopping with no foresight or

1791
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:34,880
Speaker 2: thought into that gift you have to get for a

1792
01:42:34,920 --> 01:42:37,759
Speaker 2: loved one. They're supposed to be a loved one. So anyway,

1793
01:42:37,840 --> 01:42:39,200
Speaker 2: I got a kick out of this time of year,

1794
01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:42,000
Speaker 2: and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas holiday Brian

1795
01:42:42,080 --> 01:42:45,240
Speaker 2: in the great New Year as well. All Right, question

1796
01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:47,080
Speaker 2: for you first. Now we're going to talk about the

1797
01:42:47,160 --> 01:42:53,200
Speaker 2: latest CPI report showing that the inflation jump two point

1798
01:42:53,360 --> 01:42:56,040
Speaker 2: seven percent over the past year. We think that's the figure,

1799
01:42:56,080 --> 01:42:57,000
Speaker 2: and correct me if I'm wrong.

1800
01:42:57,280 --> 01:42:58,679
Speaker 1: I have some of the data.

1801
01:42:58,720 --> 01:43:02,040
Speaker 2: But okay, now that sort of stumbles upon to the

1802
01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:04,040
Speaker 2: issue I had to ask you sort of as a

1803
01:43:04,080 --> 01:43:07,080
Speaker 2: setup for this discussion, I just read excerpts from an

1804
01:43:07,160 --> 01:43:10,280
Speaker 2: article by Elissa Finley why the affordability crisis is more

1805
01:43:10,320 --> 01:43:13,880
Speaker 2: severe in California, and she pointed out, you know of

1806
01:43:13,920 --> 01:43:17,640
Speaker 2: Milton Friedman saying, listen, inflation is always in everywhere, A

1807
01:43:17,840 --> 01:43:23,040
Speaker 2: monetary a phenomenon. Okay, that's inflation, but affordability, that is,

1808
01:43:23,080 --> 01:43:26,320
Speaker 2: the price for particular things can vary depending upon locale.

1809
01:43:26,640 --> 01:43:30,040
Speaker 2: California's paying north of five dollars heading towards maybe eight

1810
01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:32,880
Speaker 2: to twelve dollars gasoline because they shut down the refineries,

1811
01:43:33,080 --> 01:43:35,439
Speaker 2: So the price of gas way out of whack compared

1812
01:43:35,479 --> 01:43:37,400
Speaker 2: to here where just over the weekend, I pay two

1813
01:43:37,560 --> 01:43:41,240
Speaker 2: thirty a gallon to fill my tank. Now, energy is

1814
01:43:41,320 --> 01:43:47,400
Speaker 2: part of the consumer price calculations, right, yeah, if we

1815
01:43:47,520 --> 01:43:49,920
Speaker 2: report it, if we report Oh.

1816
01:43:49,640 --> 01:43:51,599
Speaker 8: These are these are leading comments that I'll make.

1817
01:43:51,760 --> 01:43:55,120
Speaker 2: They are I understand, So I guess I just kind

1818
01:43:55,120 --> 01:43:58,040
Speaker 2: of want to know, listen to the difference in just

1819
01:43:58,120 --> 01:44:03,719
Speaker 2: the regulatory environment in any given state could be wildly different,

1820
01:44:03,840 --> 01:44:07,719
Speaker 2: impacting the price and throwing you know, the whole idea

1821
01:44:07,760 --> 01:44:10,479
Speaker 2: of well, what is inflation, you know, like as a

1822
01:44:10,520 --> 01:44:13,880
Speaker 2: monetary phenomenon versus what is inflation by based upon what

1823
01:44:14,040 --> 01:44:16,599
Speaker 2: you in your area are paying for any particular good

1824
01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:19,120
Speaker 2: and service. They may be pulling their hair out screaming

1825
01:44:19,120 --> 01:44:20,960
Speaker 2: about the price of gasoline or the price of bee

1826
01:44:20,960 --> 01:44:23,000
Speaker 2: for the fact that fast food so much more expensive

1827
01:44:23,040 --> 01:44:25,720
Speaker 2: in California because the mandatory twenty dollars minimum age law.

1828
01:44:25,920 --> 01:44:28,000
Speaker 2: But it's not that way when you go out into

1829
01:44:28,040 --> 01:44:30,240
Speaker 2: the world elsewhere. So some people are feeling it a

1830
01:44:30,240 --> 01:44:31,400
Speaker 2: lot harder than others.

1831
01:44:31,680 --> 01:44:33,680
Speaker 8: Oh absolutely, So I have a little bit of a

1832
01:44:33,720 --> 01:44:34,920
Speaker 8: personal experience with us.

1833
01:44:35,040 --> 01:44:35,599
Speaker 1: Very recently.

1834
01:44:35,600 --> 01:44:39,200
Speaker 8: I'm helping a friend who's trying to navigate a new world,

1835
01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:43,160
Speaker 8: new living situation out in California and just kind of

1836
01:44:43,200 --> 01:44:45,439
Speaker 8: helping her understand what is the difference. And one of

1837
01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:48,120
Speaker 8: the little things she went through as a person who

1838
01:44:48,120 --> 01:44:50,960
Speaker 8: went through a divorce unfortunately and wound up buying a

1839
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:54,320
Speaker 8: car from her spouse as just part of the divorce settlement, right,

1840
01:44:54,520 --> 01:44:56,600
Speaker 8: and she had to pay a bunch of taxes on that,

1841
01:44:57,040 --> 01:44:58,640
Speaker 8: And I knew that was going to happen, but the

1842
01:44:58,720 --> 01:45:00,800
Speaker 8: percentage that she had to pay really caught my eye.

1843
01:45:00,800 --> 01:45:02,639
Speaker 8: And I think it wound up being like nine percent

1844
01:45:02,800 --> 01:45:04,800
Speaker 8: just to buy a used car from her spouse. She

1845
01:45:04,840 --> 01:45:07,280
Speaker 8: paid nine percent including all the fees and all the

1846
01:45:07,280 --> 01:45:10,280
Speaker 8: crazy stuff you got to go through, whereas here it's

1847
01:45:10,360 --> 01:45:12,639
Speaker 8: just sales tax of you know, a normal sales tax

1848
01:45:12,720 --> 01:45:13,599
Speaker 8: more like six percent.

1849
01:45:13,880 --> 01:45:15,680
Speaker 1: So it's a little things like.

1850
01:45:15,640 --> 01:45:18,120
Speaker 8: That that you know, that all add up. Yeah, we

1851
01:45:18,160 --> 01:45:20,960
Speaker 8: hear all the headline things of gas, you know, in

1852
01:45:21,320 --> 01:45:24,280
Speaker 8: the just the overall taxation out in California, for example,

1853
01:45:24,280 --> 01:45:26,240
Speaker 8: but there's all kinds of little extra fees and all

1854
01:45:26,280 --> 01:45:28,479
Speaker 8: these other things. Yeah, to live in a beautiful place,

1855
01:45:28,479 --> 01:45:30,559
Speaker 8: don't get me wrong, but that state tries to.

1856
01:45:30,520 --> 01:45:32,880
Speaker 2: Eat people, no question about it.

1857
01:45:33,040 --> 01:45:33,439
Speaker 5: All. Right.

1858
01:45:33,479 --> 01:45:36,960
Speaker 2: Now back to the you know, the hints thing you

1859
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:39,479
Speaker 2: were making in so far as what this actual report

1860
01:45:39,640 --> 01:45:41,599
Speaker 2: does show and maybe some of the data they left

1861
01:45:41,600 --> 01:45:43,160
Speaker 2: out of it when considering it was a two point

1862
01:45:43,200 --> 01:45:43,879
Speaker 2: seven inflation.

1863
01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:46,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's talk about that a little bit.

1864
01:45:46,600 --> 01:45:49,439
Speaker 8: First off, when I'm not sounding any alarm bells here,

1865
01:45:49,439 --> 01:45:51,920
Speaker 8: I talked with Andy Stoutter, chief Investment Officer, and he

1866
01:45:51,920 --> 01:45:54,360
Speaker 8: gave us all an update on this, but which is

1867
01:45:54,360 --> 01:45:56,679
Speaker 8: that the economists are not really thrilled with us latest

1868
01:45:56,720 --> 01:45:59,439
Speaker 8: CPI are released because it just contains so little data.

1869
01:45:59,680 --> 01:46:03,599
Speaker 8: I'm looking at on the BLS Bureau of Labor Statistics page,

1870
01:46:03,640 --> 01:46:08,120
Speaker 8: I am looking at the CPIU report that literally has

1871
01:46:08,800 --> 01:46:12,360
Speaker 8: three categories of data for October and November. It's got gasoline,

1872
01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:15,160
Speaker 8: it has new vehicles, used cars, and trucks. Everything else

1873
01:46:15,160 --> 01:46:15,719
Speaker 8: has a hyphen.

1874
01:46:15,800 --> 01:46:17,559
Speaker 1: There's no data for food at home.

1875
01:46:17,600 --> 01:46:21,400
Speaker 8: Food, away from home, energy commodities, electricity utilities. It's just

1876
01:46:21,439 --> 01:46:24,280
Speaker 8: plane not there. So that's where our two point six

1877
01:46:24,320 --> 01:46:28,040
Speaker 8: percent number is coming from. And the economists are looking

1878
01:46:28,040 --> 01:46:30,960
Speaker 8: at this saying, okay, it's not that good. They're not

1879
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:33,080
Speaker 8: thrilled with this release, but we're all the most are

1880
01:46:33,160 --> 01:46:35,599
Speaker 8: kind of holding their tongues, it seems, until December, because

1881
01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:38,160
Speaker 8: we feel like December will be back online. The reason

1882
01:46:38,240 --> 01:46:40,920
Speaker 8: for this, of course, is the shutdown. We weren't collecting data.

1883
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:42,800
Speaker 8: We can to the head of the BLS a while

1884
01:46:42,800 --> 01:46:45,680
Speaker 8: ago too, it made some major changes to it. So

1885
01:46:45,920 --> 01:46:48,719
Speaker 8: you know, on one hand, again not time for alarm,

1886
01:46:48,760 --> 01:46:50,600
Speaker 8: but let's not get too excited that we actually have

1887
01:46:50,640 --> 01:46:52,360
Speaker 8: a two point seven percent CPI print.

1888
01:46:52,360 --> 01:46:53,679
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the case all.

1889
01:46:53,640 --> 01:46:55,680
Speaker 2: Right, But wheneverbody gets back online and they get all

1890
01:46:55,680 --> 01:46:58,200
Speaker 2: the data points. Going back to here, you mentioned energy,

1891
01:46:58,280 --> 01:47:00,559
Speaker 2: I know the Northwest is struggling with the energy. It's very,

1892
01:47:00,640 --> 01:47:03,240
Speaker 2: very expensive. They haven't done pipe projects that would have

1893
01:47:03,240 --> 01:47:06,320
Speaker 2: helped bring natural gas in lower and provide some relief.

1894
01:47:06,320 --> 01:47:10,360
Speaker 2: They're all full on green and they're they're struggling with

1895
01:47:10,479 --> 01:47:13,320
Speaker 2: really high energy prices. Of course, not as bad as Germany,

1896
01:47:13,320 --> 01:47:16,559
Speaker 2: who went, you know, full on green and has destroyed

1897
01:47:16,560 --> 01:47:19,559
Speaker 2: its own economy doing that. But you know, where you're

1898
01:47:19,560 --> 01:47:24,439
Speaker 2: producing energy less expensively. Elsewhere in the world, the price

1899
01:47:24,520 --> 01:47:27,080
Speaker 2: of energy hasn't gone up as much or shouldn't now.

1900
01:47:27,160 --> 01:47:30,080
Speaker 2: And when they do calculate energy prices as a component

1901
01:47:30,080 --> 01:47:34,920
Speaker 2: of the CPI, they don't take into account the regulatory reality.

1902
01:47:34,960 --> 01:47:37,040
Speaker 2: It's I mean, I like to look at inflation as

1903
01:47:37,040 --> 01:47:40,800
Speaker 2: a purely monetary thing. No I would agree with that,

1904
01:47:40,840 --> 01:47:43,120
Speaker 2: I mean, and that's really what we should be focusing on.

1905
01:47:43,160 --> 01:47:46,080
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what the where the components of the

1906
01:47:46,120 --> 01:47:48,240
Speaker 2: costs are coming from. The cost is the cost, because

1907
01:47:48,240 --> 01:47:49,679
Speaker 2: it's got at the end of the day, it's coming

1908
01:47:49,680 --> 01:47:52,599
Speaker 2: out of our pockets. The C and CPI stands for consumer.

1909
01:47:52,880 --> 01:47:54,320
Speaker 2: We are the ones who pay for it. So yes,

1910
01:47:54,360 --> 01:47:56,840
Speaker 2: we absolutely should be measuring that. Now, you can see

1911
01:47:56,920 --> 01:47:59,920
Speaker 2: numbers in the same report for electricity they do.

1912
01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:03,400
Speaker 8: You have unadjusted twelve months ending November twenty to twenty five,

1913
01:48:03,960 --> 01:48:06,519
Speaker 8: which again this isn't perfect, but year of a year,

1914
01:48:06,560 --> 01:48:09,920
Speaker 8: electricity is currently showing at six point nine percent and

1915
01:48:10,080 --> 01:48:12,960
Speaker 8: piped gas is nine point one percent. Now again that's

1916
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:15,439
Speaker 8: not including October and November because there's just no data,

1917
01:48:15,800 --> 01:48:17,600
Speaker 8: so those numbers are still a lot higher than we

1918
01:48:17,640 --> 01:48:20,839
Speaker 8: would want them to be. But hopefully again this December

1919
01:48:20,880 --> 01:48:22,720
Speaker 8: number will clear things up and maybe we'll have maybe

1920
01:48:22,720 --> 01:48:24,719
Speaker 8: you and I be having a different conversation in January.

1921
01:48:24,800 --> 01:48:26,759
Speaker 2: We'll see how this works out. We keep our fingers

1922
01:48:26,760 --> 01:48:28,720
Speaker 2: crossed that it's even lower than two point seven once

1923
01:48:28,760 --> 01:48:29,519
Speaker 2: to get all the data in.

1924
01:48:29,840 --> 01:48:31,160
Speaker 1: But do they do they.

1925
01:48:31,160 --> 01:48:33,880
Speaker 2: Provide going back to my point, do they provide regional

1926
01:48:33,960 --> 01:48:37,040
Speaker 2: inflation numbers? Like, you know, folks in this particular area

1927
01:48:37,040 --> 01:48:39,760
Speaker 2: of the country are paying ten percentage points more for

1928
01:48:39,920 --> 01:48:42,960
Speaker 2: energy versus say, I don't know, pick a state out

1929
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:45,519
Speaker 2: in the Midwest here, this's got some reliable, abundant power

1930
01:48:45,560 --> 01:48:48,160
Speaker 2: resources where we're paying less. Do they show it in

1931
01:48:48,200 --> 01:48:51,479
Speaker 2: that form, like maybe an advertisement for states with lower

1932
01:48:51,520 --> 01:48:54,000
Speaker 2: regulatory schemes and thus better affordability.

1933
01:48:54,560 --> 01:48:56,760
Speaker 8: Not in the reporting that I'm looking at that they

1934
01:48:56,840 --> 01:48:59,080
Speaker 8: do get pretty in depth, but they don't report that

1935
01:48:59,120 --> 01:49:01,639
Speaker 8: at the national level because they're speaking to a national audience,

1936
01:49:01,640 --> 01:49:03,960
Speaker 8: and I think they really normally, I think we really

1937
01:49:03,960 --> 01:49:06,200
Speaker 8: want to be super quiet about this until we actually

1938
01:49:06,240 --> 01:49:07,519
Speaker 8: get to a point where we've got.

1939
01:49:07,360 --> 01:49:08,080
Speaker 1: Good news to share.

1940
01:49:08,120 --> 01:49:10,720
Speaker 8: I think this administration has been very willing to be

1941
01:49:10,800 --> 01:49:12,680
Speaker 8: loud about the good news and very quiet about a

1942
01:49:12,720 --> 01:49:13,960
Speaker 8: lot the more frustrating news.

1943
01:49:14,040 --> 01:49:16,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just kind of am harping on it, a

1944
01:49:16,479 --> 01:49:19,280
Speaker 2: dwelling on it because I know Donald Trump, everybody's looking

1945
01:49:19,320 --> 01:49:23,160
Speaker 2: at him to do something about inflation. I mean that's

1946
01:49:23,200 --> 01:49:25,439
Speaker 2: a big challenge. Of course, you got the FED involved

1947
01:49:25,439 --> 01:49:27,519
Speaker 2: with that, but you also have the realities, like there's

1948
01:49:27,720 --> 01:49:31,559
Speaker 2: the lowest beef herd head count since the nineteen fifties.

1949
01:49:31,560 --> 01:49:33,320
Speaker 2: Your price of beefin is gonna go down, and Donald

1950
01:49:33,360 --> 01:49:36,960
Speaker 2: Trump can't wave a wand and produce like double the

1951
01:49:37,640 --> 01:49:39,960
Speaker 2: heads of cattle on any given farm. So that seems

1952
01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:43,680
Speaker 2: to be out of a quick fix relief. You know,

1953
01:49:43,880 --> 01:49:46,840
Speaker 2: energy prices are far more expensive in California because they're

1954
01:49:46,840 --> 01:49:49,360
Speaker 2: shutting down refineries and coal plants left and right. And

1955
01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:52,080
Speaker 2: I mean they're just some things that are completely out

1956
01:49:52,120 --> 01:49:54,599
Speaker 2: of a president's hand. That's why I raised this as

1957
01:49:54,640 --> 01:49:56,960
Speaker 2: an issue. He's got a challenge on his hands. People

1958
01:49:57,000 --> 01:50:00,120
Speaker 2: want him to do something, but he can't in many cases.

1959
01:50:00,280 --> 01:50:03,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, Now I did did just locate the for

1960
01:50:03,520 --> 01:50:05,760
Speaker 8: so it does break down into four regions. Oh and

1961
01:50:05,840 --> 01:50:08,120
Speaker 8: this is again this is fuzzy numbers because it's still

1962
01:50:08,120 --> 01:50:10,120
Speaker 8: in it's including the data that we just talked about.

1963
01:50:10,080 --> 01:50:10,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't exist.

1964
01:50:11,320 --> 01:50:14,160
Speaker 8: But then there's four regions Northeast, Midwest, and West. Every

1965
01:50:14,200 --> 01:50:16,040
Speaker 8: one of them is three to three point one percent.

1966
01:50:16,120 --> 01:50:18,400
Speaker 8: The South is two point two percent. So if you're

1967
01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:21,559
Speaker 8: looking purely for inflation, inflation to be lower, I guess

1968
01:50:21,880 --> 01:50:23,680
Speaker 8: move north. But I would still hold off until we

1969
01:50:23,720 --> 01:50:25,960
Speaker 8: get some of these blank spots filled in on this report.

1970
01:50:26,080 --> 01:50:28,640
Speaker 2: So security facing cuts, who's gonna save it? And some

1971
01:50:28,840 --> 01:50:30,880
Speaker 2: Americans don't believe it's even going to be around when

1972
01:50:30,880 --> 01:50:33,719
Speaker 2: they retire those topics coming up with money, mondays Brian James,

1973
01:50:33,760 --> 01:50:36,519
Speaker 2: I hope you can stick around fifty five KRC dot

1974
01:50:36,560 --> 01:50:38,759
Speaker 2: com for more and from the program at eight forty

1975
01:50:38,760 --> 01:50:41,800
Speaker 2: for our hair seat care sit helping folks out there

1976
01:50:41,840 --> 01:50:43,680
Speaker 2: in the senior community. Is doing a great job every

1977
01:50:43,720 --> 01:50:46,680
Speaker 2: single day, doing a great job for financial planning for

1978
01:50:46,720 --> 01:50:49,960
Speaker 2: his clients. Brian James, talking money matters. Let's move over

1979
01:50:49,960 --> 01:50:52,680
Speaker 2: to soci's security. The giant train wreck that's been We

1980
01:50:52,720 --> 01:50:54,519
Speaker 2: have seen the light at the end of the tunnel,

1981
01:50:54,600 --> 01:50:57,120
Speaker 2: and it is a train It's not a beautiful light

1982
01:50:57,200 --> 01:50:59,840
Speaker 2: of relief. So Security is on a train wreck, and

1983
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:02,040
Speaker 2: we've all known it. Nobody is willing to touch. It's

1984
01:51:02,040 --> 01:51:04,960
Speaker 2: the third rail of politics. And I saw this study

1985
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:08,599
Speaker 2: you have from the Cato Institute. Shocking no One, Fifty

1986
01:51:08,640 --> 01:51:11,200
Speaker 2: three percent of Americans under thirty say they'd rather cut

1987
01:51:11,200 --> 01:51:15,200
Speaker 2: benefits of those currently receiving Social Security. By contrast, eighty

1988
01:51:15,240 --> 01:51:17,880
Speaker 2: nine percent of seniors age sixty five and older say

1989
01:51:17,880 --> 01:51:21,880
Speaker 2: younger workers should pay higher taxes to keep it benefits steady. Yeah,

1990
01:51:21,920 --> 01:51:25,000
Speaker 2: but everybody voting for them, so I vote for me,

1991
01:51:25,160 --> 01:51:27,920
Speaker 2: go meet, And that's exactly why they are elected. Officials

1992
01:51:27,920 --> 01:51:30,000
Speaker 2: won't touch so as security. They want to be re elected,

1993
01:51:30,040 --> 01:51:32,679
Speaker 2: and by touching it, it usually means having to control

1994
01:51:32,760 --> 01:51:35,840
Speaker 2: the expenditures because we're running out of money. Brian James,

1995
01:51:35,880 --> 01:51:37,360
Speaker 2: please unfold this for us.

1996
01:51:37,720 --> 01:51:40,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, So, Cato Institute did a survey to confirm what

1997
01:51:40,800 --> 01:51:43,080
Speaker 8: we all kind of know, which is social security doesn't

1998
01:51:43,080 --> 01:51:45,400
Speaker 8: actually work and people are mad about it. So now

1999
01:51:45,439 --> 01:51:48,640
Speaker 8: social security in general is highly supported. Eighty three percent

2000
01:51:48,400 --> 01:51:51,120
Speaker 8: of Americans do say that, Yeah, that's probably a good idea.

2001
01:51:51,640 --> 01:51:54,599
Speaker 8: It's seventy percent of people think that social Security benefits

2002
01:51:54,640 --> 01:51:56,519
Speaker 8: are going to be reduced in the future. This is

2003
01:51:56,560 --> 01:51:58,840
Speaker 8: a drum beat that I hear all the time, Brian Thomas.

2004
01:51:58,880 --> 01:52:01,400
Speaker 8: People will always make the well, I can't count on

2005
01:52:01,439 --> 01:52:03,400
Speaker 8: Social Security because it's going away.

2006
01:52:03,520 --> 01:52:03,960
Speaker 1: No, it's not.

2007
01:52:04,320 --> 01:52:06,719
Speaker 8: It would have to be voted out of existence because

2008
01:52:06,760 --> 01:52:08,280
Speaker 8: right now there is an entry on the top of

2009
01:52:08,280 --> 01:52:10,080
Speaker 8: your pay stub, on the top of my pay stub

2010
01:52:10,360 --> 01:52:13,519
Speaker 8: that says FIKA. FIKA is social Security taxes. So as

2011
01:52:13,560 --> 01:52:15,840
Speaker 8: long as they keep pulling taxes off the tops of

2012
01:52:15,840 --> 01:52:18,840
Speaker 8: our pay stubs, that's going to fund Social Security. If

2013
01:52:18,840 --> 01:52:22,400
Speaker 8: they do absolutely nothing, then benefits on retirees in the

2014
01:52:22,439 --> 01:52:24,599
Speaker 8: future will have to drop bay about twenty five percent,

2015
01:52:24,640 --> 01:52:26,680
Speaker 8: but the program will be still solvent, so it's not

2016
01:52:26,800 --> 01:52:30,280
Speaker 8: going anywhere. However, thirty percent believe that it won't exist

2017
01:52:30,320 --> 01:52:30,679
Speaker 8: at all.

2018
01:52:31,040 --> 01:52:34,120
Speaker 2: Well, okay, you're a financial planner. You're sitting there with

2019
01:52:34,160 --> 01:52:36,559
Speaker 2: your client and they're off the mindset that it's not

2020
01:52:36,600 --> 01:52:38,559
Speaker 2: going to be there, and that their goal then is

2021
01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:41,280
Speaker 2: to plan financially for a time when they will not

2022
01:52:41,400 --> 01:52:44,360
Speaker 2: be able to get a Social Security check or maybe

2023
01:52:44,400 --> 01:52:47,320
Speaker 2: even though it'll be a lot smaller. Isn't that a

2024
01:52:47,400 --> 01:52:50,439
Speaker 2: healthier perspective when it comes to trying to save and

2025
01:52:50,479 --> 01:52:52,760
Speaker 2: manage for retirement thinking it's not going to be there,

2026
01:52:52,800 --> 01:52:54,880
Speaker 2: and then magically when it shows up and you do

2027
01:52:54,960 --> 01:52:57,960
Speaker 2: get that additional benefit, assuming it's still around, that that's

2028
01:52:58,040 --> 01:53:00,479
Speaker 2: just gravy on your retirement depends.

2029
01:53:00,479 --> 01:53:02,160
Speaker 8: I mean, some people just aren't going to be able

2030
01:53:02,200 --> 01:53:04,439
Speaker 8: to make it period without social Security. So if you're

2031
01:53:04,479 --> 01:53:06,519
Speaker 8: really going to try to plan without it, well, then

2032
01:53:06,560 --> 01:53:08,880
Speaker 8: you need to find a buddy to live with, find

2033
01:53:08,920 --> 01:53:10,200
Speaker 8: another retired comple.

2034
01:53:10,160 --> 01:53:12,120
Speaker 1: Share housing with. Maybe you already are.

2035
01:53:12,120 --> 01:53:14,240
Speaker 8: I mean I'm referring to married couples here too. It

2036
01:53:14,320 --> 01:53:16,280
Speaker 8: can just be too big of a hurdle to get over,

2037
01:53:16,640 --> 01:53:19,000
Speaker 8: you know, to completely assume. Now, now I do encourage

2038
01:53:19,439 --> 01:53:21,280
Speaker 8: let's run the numbers. I always say, let's run the

2039
01:53:21,320 --> 01:53:23,680
Speaker 8: hunky dory scenario of your financial plan, of your cash

2040
01:53:23,720 --> 01:53:26,280
Speaker 8: flow projection. You know, nothing bad ever happens again and

2041
01:53:26,280 --> 01:53:28,800
Speaker 8: everything you whatever promise comes to you. Here's how that looks.

2042
01:53:28,840 --> 01:53:32,120
Speaker 8: That's your baseline. Now, let's run it again and reduce

2043
01:53:32,200 --> 01:53:35,040
Speaker 8: social Security by twenty five to thirty percent. And if

2044
01:53:35,040 --> 01:53:37,240
Speaker 8: that doesn't work, what changes do we need to make

2045
01:53:37,320 --> 01:53:39,559
Speaker 8: right now? And that's always either going to be save

2046
01:53:39,680 --> 01:53:43,639
Speaker 8: more work longer, or expect less spending. If you can

2047
01:53:43,680 --> 01:53:45,800
Speaker 8: manipulate those three things, you can make it work. And

2048
01:53:45,840 --> 01:53:47,720
Speaker 8: then sometimes, yeah, I'll do a third one with if

2049
01:53:47,720 --> 01:53:49,840
Speaker 8: somebody is truly kind of paranoid, let's do a third

2050
01:53:49,840 --> 01:53:52,000
Speaker 8: one with social Security not in the mix at all.

2051
01:53:52,120 --> 01:53:54,040
Speaker 8: And for some people it's not on the table. That

2052
01:53:54,120 --> 01:53:56,560
Speaker 8: means you simply can't afford to retire. So if you

2053
01:53:56,600 --> 01:53:58,240
Speaker 8: want to plan for that, that's fine, but you are

2054
01:53:58,320 --> 01:53:59,760
Speaker 8: kind of planning for, you know, kind of the end

2055
01:53:59,760 --> 01:54:01,519
Speaker 8: of the word world, and the math does not show

2056
01:54:01,560 --> 01:54:02,160
Speaker 8: that at this point.

2057
01:54:02,280 --> 01:54:04,519
Speaker 2: Well, and that's the beauty of having a financial planner.

2058
01:54:04,560 --> 01:54:07,120
Speaker 2: You've got these programs that do all those number crunching

2059
01:54:07,160 --> 01:54:10,400
Speaker 2: in scenarios. Doesn't it run like through a thousand different

2060
01:54:10,400 --> 01:54:13,080
Speaker 2: scenarios of where the market could and might go from

2061
01:54:13,120 --> 01:54:15,519
Speaker 2: the worst case scenario to the best case scenario.

2062
01:54:15,640 --> 01:54:18,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's the big variable is always what are my

2063
01:54:18,240 --> 01:54:20,400
Speaker 8: investments going to do? Right, we can figure out what

2064
01:54:20,439 --> 01:54:22,799
Speaker 8: spending is going to do, We can attach inflation figures

2065
01:54:22,840 --> 01:54:24,200
Speaker 8: to all that. You know, we can look pretty deep

2066
01:54:24,240 --> 01:54:27,200
Speaker 8: in somebody's lifestyle. Those numbers are kind of sort of fixed.

2067
01:54:27,240 --> 01:54:29,400
Speaker 8: They don't tend to waver too much. But we don't

2068
01:54:29,400 --> 01:54:31,439
Speaker 8: know when the market is going to take chunks away.

2069
01:54:31,479 --> 01:54:33,400
Speaker 8: All that we know is that it will, so we

2070
01:54:33,480 --> 01:54:36,440
Speaker 8: do something called Monte Carlo analysis, which basically means, let's

2071
01:54:36,440 --> 01:54:38,280
Speaker 8: figure out what kind of cash flow you're going to

2072
01:54:38,360 --> 01:54:41,800
Speaker 8: need over the remaining decades of your life, and then

2073
01:54:41,880 --> 01:54:44,960
Speaker 8: let's run it literally a thousand different times. And across

2074
01:54:44,960 --> 01:54:48,320
Speaker 8: those thousand times. Is you know, the market takes a

2075
01:54:48,360 --> 01:54:50,560
Speaker 8: hit upfront, the market takes a hit later in life,

2076
01:54:51,000 --> 01:54:52,760
Speaker 8: somewhere in the middle, all those kinds of things, and

2077
01:54:52,760 --> 01:54:54,720
Speaker 8: then the outcome of that is a batting average. How

2078
01:54:54,760 --> 01:54:56,480
Speaker 8: many times out of a thousand do I make it

2079
01:54:56,520 --> 01:54:57,920
Speaker 8: all the way to the end with at least a

2080
01:54:57,960 --> 01:55:00,480
Speaker 8: dollar in the bank. That's called Monte Carlo analys and

2081
01:55:00,560 --> 01:55:02,680
Speaker 8: it doesn't. There's nothing there has nothing to do with

2082
01:55:02,720 --> 01:55:04,480
Speaker 8: guarantees or anything like that. We're not trying to bat

2083
01:55:04,520 --> 01:55:07,000
Speaker 8: a thousand. We're just trying to understand how far in

2084
01:55:07,000 --> 01:55:09,360
Speaker 8: our direction can we lean the odds by the tweaks

2085
01:55:09,360 --> 01:55:09,920
Speaker 8: we are making.

2086
01:55:09,960 --> 01:55:13,400
Speaker 2: Now, that's good and again another value having a financial planner,

2087
01:55:13,440 --> 01:55:16,320
Speaker 2: and one that is, uh, it was a fiduciary obligation

2088
01:55:16,400 --> 01:55:18,040
Speaker 2: to you. That is, not trying to sell you something

2089
01:55:18,040 --> 01:55:20,320
Speaker 2: and not charging u a fee for their work, So

2090
01:55:20,480 --> 01:55:23,080
Speaker 2: got that in for you, Brian. Now what about fixes

2091
01:55:23,080 --> 01:55:25,320
Speaker 2: the Social Security? I mean, I've heard a million different

2092
01:55:25,320 --> 01:55:31,200
Speaker 2: ones at income based eligibility maybe, I mean, I don't know.

2093
01:55:31,200 --> 01:55:34,320
Speaker 2: There's a variety of different things extending social Security out

2094
01:55:34,360 --> 01:55:37,720
Speaker 2: to later retirement time. People are living a lot older

2095
01:55:37,720 --> 01:55:39,880
Speaker 2: than they used to be. I mean when it's first

2096
01:55:39,880 --> 01:55:42,920
Speaker 2: started under FDR, how many workers did they have for

2097
01:55:42,960 --> 01:55:46,080
Speaker 2: every recipient? It was like fifteen or twenty or something,

2098
01:55:46,160 --> 01:55:47,760
Speaker 2: or we're down to single digits.

2099
01:55:48,440 --> 01:55:52,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, the pressures here again, we've seen this train wreck

2100
01:55:52,080 --> 01:55:54,560
Speaker 8: coming in slow motion as you reference, yeah, for decades now,

2101
01:55:54,560 --> 01:55:56,960
Speaker 8: and it was simply because there were so many more workers,

2102
01:55:57,320 --> 01:56:00,720
Speaker 8: you know, when we had the greatest generation, the Baby Boomers,

2103
01:56:00,960 --> 01:56:04,720
Speaker 8: largest generations, all working at full tilt and generating money

2104
01:56:04,720 --> 01:56:05,440
Speaker 8: into the system.

2105
01:56:05,640 --> 01:56:06,400
Speaker 1: Where now we're on the.

2106
01:56:06,360 --> 01:56:08,680
Speaker 8: Back end of that, where less is being earned. There

2107
01:56:08,680 --> 01:56:11,080
Speaker 8: are smaller generations out there and less is being earned

2108
01:56:11,080 --> 01:56:12,640
Speaker 8: by them on average, just because of the way the

2109
01:56:12,680 --> 01:56:16,680
Speaker 8: demographics have worked out. And so there's just less money

2110
01:56:16,680 --> 01:56:18,800
Speaker 8: flowing into the system. Now, there's a million ways we

2111
01:56:18,840 --> 01:56:21,520
Speaker 8: can change this. We can raise taxes on workers, we

2112
01:56:21,560 --> 01:56:24,320
Speaker 8: can cut benefits. It's really we either have to put

2113
01:56:24,320 --> 01:56:26,400
Speaker 8: more money into the system or take less out. Now,

2114
01:56:26,440 --> 01:56:28,360
Speaker 8: there's a million ways that can happen. You can make

2115
01:56:28,400 --> 01:56:31,160
Speaker 8: people work longer. We've already done that. The sociecurity age

2116
01:56:31,200 --> 01:56:33,800
Speaker 8: has moved forward. There were major reforms done in the eighties.

2117
01:56:34,120 --> 01:56:37,320
Speaker 8: We also began payroll taxing or not pay wel. We

2118
01:56:37,360 --> 01:56:40,040
Speaker 8: also began taxing social security benefits for those of you

2119
01:56:40,080 --> 01:56:43,400
Speaker 8: don't know, you do indeed pay taxes on Social Security benefits.

2120
01:56:44,120 --> 01:56:47,040
Speaker 8: And again we can change the ages that you're eligible,

2121
01:56:47,120 --> 01:56:49,400
Speaker 8: all those kinds of things. I mean, I think truthfully,

2122
01:56:49,440 --> 01:56:51,640
Speaker 8: the answer is going to have to be some combination

2123
01:56:51,720 --> 01:56:54,840
Speaker 8: where everybody sacrifices something otherwise we're just gonna end up

2124
01:56:54,840 --> 01:56:55,720
Speaker 8: with a generational war.

2125
01:56:55,880 --> 01:56:59,600
Speaker 2: Well, it would be a fairness element along those lines.

2126
01:57:00,080 --> 01:57:01,920
Speaker 2: Body had to tighten their belt a little bit. Then

2127
01:57:01,960 --> 01:57:04,680
Speaker 2: you could at least sell it as a package that

2128
01:57:05,000 --> 01:57:09,680
Speaker 2: everyone gets impacted, not just one group or another. Complicated, absolutely,

2129
01:57:09,720 --> 01:57:12,040
Speaker 2: and the of the worst part about this, Brian has

2130
01:57:12,080 --> 01:57:13,680
Speaker 2: come up now for the third time that we have

2131
01:57:13,800 --> 01:57:17,000
Speaker 2: seen this problem unfold, and people have been ringing alarm

2132
01:57:17,040 --> 01:57:20,000
Speaker 2: bells about it for so long, and yet nothing really

2133
01:57:20,000 --> 01:57:21,880
Speaker 2: has been done by way of you know, a really

2134
01:57:22,120 --> 01:57:23,640
Speaker 2: solid fix Yeah.

2135
01:57:23,440 --> 01:57:25,760
Speaker 8: And I think the reason for that is because no

2136
01:57:25,880 --> 01:57:28,640
Speaker 8: politician can stand up on their soapbox and promise to

2137
01:57:28,760 --> 01:57:32,840
Speaker 8: give somebody something. This is all taking away by fixing this.

2138
01:57:32,920 --> 01:57:35,560
Speaker 8: There's no there's no way that anybody benefits other than

2139
01:57:35,600 --> 01:57:38,600
Speaker 8: the the Maybe we can maintain the status quo if

2140
01:57:38,640 --> 01:57:41,880
Speaker 8: everybody sacrifices a little bit but nobody gains anything. So

2141
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:43,680
Speaker 8: that person is going to have to stand on their

2142
01:57:43,680 --> 01:57:47,320
Speaker 8: soapbox and champion fixing social security by convincing three hundred

2143
01:57:47,360 --> 01:57:50,040
Speaker 8: million people that they all need to sacrifice something that

2144
01:57:50,080 --> 01:57:52,040
Speaker 8: will make them a sitting duck for their next election.

2145
01:57:52,240 --> 01:57:54,400
Speaker 2: Well, maybe you need a lame duck president to advance

2146
01:57:54,440 --> 01:57:57,200
Speaker 2: that agenda. That'd be nice that we have those every

2147
01:57:57,240 --> 01:58:01,040
Speaker 2: few years. Nobody rings it up, Brian James. Hold on,

2148
01:58:01,040 --> 01:58:02,920
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about the sec You're gonna have to

2149
01:58:02,920 --> 01:58:04,960
Speaker 2: explain this one to me. I admit my ignorance on

2150
01:58:05,320 --> 01:58:09,480
Speaker 2: tokenized stocks and how that is a move toward blockchain.

2151
01:58:09,520 --> 01:58:11,480
Speaker 2: That's what we have, Brian James, or will continue just

2152
01:58:11,520 --> 01:58:15,320
Speaker 2: a minute. Hang on fifty five KRC, the talk station

2153
01:58:15,680 --> 01:58:19,120
Speaker 2: Doctor with all with financials, Brian James doing Money Monday,

2154
01:58:19,200 --> 01:58:22,960
Speaker 2: and every time we start talking about bitcoin blockchain. I'm

2155
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:26,240
Speaker 2: just my eyes glaze over, Brian, I've had to explain

2156
01:58:26,280 --> 01:58:28,200
Speaker 2: to me a million times, listen, how that's how, that's

2157
01:58:28,240 --> 01:58:30,800
Speaker 2: how valuable a membership in mensa is. I can't even

2158
01:58:30,880 --> 01:58:33,120
Speaker 2: understand blockchain, So, yeah, go ahead and make fun of

2159
01:58:33,120 --> 01:58:36,240
Speaker 2: somebody who's got that, all right, It's just I know

2160
01:58:36,360 --> 01:58:39,320
Speaker 2: it's a security thing, blockchain, and I understand it's it's

2161
01:58:39,440 --> 01:58:41,960
Speaker 2: pretty darn good when it comes to security. But how

2162
01:58:42,000 --> 01:58:44,480
Speaker 2: does this mix in with what we're talking about today,

2163
01:58:44,520 --> 01:58:48,760
Speaker 2: the idea of tokenizing stocks as it relates to block

2164
01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:49,880
Speaker 2: I actually.

2165
01:58:49,560 --> 01:58:50,320
Speaker 1: Like this update.

2166
01:58:50,400 --> 01:58:52,560
Speaker 8: So so I've done a decent amount of reading on

2167
01:58:52,640 --> 01:58:55,360
Speaker 8: how this works, and I'm not an expert by any stretch,

2168
01:58:55,400 --> 01:58:56,920
Speaker 8: but I do know a little bit, and then having

2169
01:58:56,920 --> 01:58:58,640
Speaker 8: thirty years of being a financial planner.

2170
01:58:58,360 --> 01:58:59,160
Speaker 1: It all kind of makes sense.

2171
01:58:59,200 --> 01:58:59,560
Speaker 2: That helps.

2172
01:58:59,800 --> 01:59:01,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that does add a little bit.

2173
01:59:01,360 --> 01:59:04,400
Speaker 8: So the basic core function of the blockchain, which everybody

2174
01:59:04,440 --> 01:59:06,640
Speaker 8: associates with crypto, that's kind of where it came from.

2175
01:59:07,000 --> 01:59:10,680
Speaker 8: It's one what underlies bitcoin, the entire Bitcoin network, and

2176
01:59:10,680 --> 01:59:12,680
Speaker 8: really most of crypto nowadays. But the whole point of

2177
01:59:12,720 --> 01:59:15,360
Speaker 8: it is it's just a record keeping structure where there

2178
01:59:15,440 --> 01:59:18,640
Speaker 8: is a copy of the Ledger on every computer on

2179
01:59:18,640 --> 01:59:20,880
Speaker 8: the face of the earth, and if you're gonna fake it,

2180
01:59:20,920 --> 01:59:23,600
Speaker 8: then you have to manage to change every single copy

2181
01:59:23,600 --> 01:59:26,280
Speaker 8: out there across the universe. That's what makes it secure.

2182
01:59:26,320 --> 01:59:28,520
Speaker 8: Everybody sees the same information. It has to be changed

2183
01:59:28,560 --> 01:59:29,000
Speaker 8: all over.

2184
01:59:28,840 --> 01:59:31,760
Speaker 2: The place, so it's the ultimate transparency exactly.

2185
01:59:31,800 --> 01:59:33,000
Speaker 1: And you can see these things.

2186
01:59:33,840 --> 01:59:36,040
Speaker 8: You actually can look in and see what wallet owns,

2187
01:59:36,040 --> 01:59:37,960
Speaker 8: how many bitcoin and all that other stuff, because it's

2188
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:39,080
Speaker 8: all publicly available.

2189
01:59:39,080 --> 01:59:40,480
Speaker 1: So that's where the security comes from.

2190
01:59:40,480 --> 01:59:40,560
Speaker 9: Now.

2191
01:59:40,600 --> 01:59:41,440
Speaker 1: The reason we're talking.

2192
01:59:41,280 --> 01:59:43,960
Speaker 8: About it today though the SEC has approved a plan

2193
01:59:44,080 --> 01:59:48,480
Speaker 8: to tokenize US stocks. Now this has nothing to do with cryptocurrency.

2194
01:59:48,520 --> 01:59:51,080
Speaker 8: Stocks are not becoming crypto or anything like that. All

2195
01:59:51,120 --> 01:59:54,040
Speaker 8: it is is that the Ledger program is being updated

2196
01:59:54,080 --> 01:59:55,760
Speaker 8: technologically speaking, to make.

2197
01:59:55,640 --> 01:59:58,280
Speaker 1: It more efficient. Now why this is important.

2198
01:59:58,280 --> 02:00:01,720
Speaker 8: When I started this industry, settlement time for a stock

2199
02:00:01,760 --> 02:00:04,400
Speaker 8: trade was something called T plus three, which means time

2200
02:00:04,440 --> 02:00:07,520
Speaker 8: of trade plus three business days. If I sold something

2201
02:00:07,520 --> 02:00:09,440
Speaker 8: on a Friday, my money wasn't going to be available

2202
02:00:09,480 --> 02:00:12,320
Speaker 8: until the following Wednesday, three business days. Then it went

2203
02:00:12,360 --> 02:00:16,560
Speaker 8: to T plus one in about twenty seventeen, and this

2204
02:00:16,600 --> 02:00:20,600
Speaker 8: will hopefully make it almost instantaneous because of the way

2205
02:00:20,640 --> 02:00:23,720
Speaker 8: the blockchain infrastructure works, so you could have access instant

2206
02:00:23,760 --> 02:00:25,800
Speaker 8: access to your money. What this means is that if

2207
02:00:25,800 --> 02:00:28,320
Speaker 8: you're calling me needing a distribution from your IRA or

2208
02:00:28,320 --> 02:00:30,720
Speaker 8: your investment account, I might be able to send it

2209
02:00:30,720 --> 02:00:33,360
Speaker 8: out the same day, oh, versus telling you wait until

2210
02:00:33,400 --> 02:00:34,760
Speaker 8: tomorrow or maybe the next.

2211
02:00:34,640 --> 02:00:36,720
Speaker 1: Day, you know, barring holidays and all that kind of stuff.

2212
02:00:36,720 --> 02:00:38,120
Speaker 8: So I do think this is a good thing. I

2213
02:00:38,160 --> 02:00:39,760
Speaker 8: just don't want people to get worried that stocks are

2214
02:00:39,800 --> 02:00:41,440
Speaker 8: becoming crypto. That's not what's happening.

2215
02:00:41,640 --> 02:00:45,640
Speaker 2: Okay, But I wrote down the word privacy when you

2216
02:00:45,720 --> 02:00:47,920
Speaker 2: were talking about that. Because everybody in the world has

2217
02:00:47,960 --> 02:00:51,240
Speaker 2: this blockchain, they know what's in the wallets. They can

2218
02:00:51,320 --> 02:00:54,600
Speaker 2: they trace a particular wallet to a particular individual. Because

2219
02:00:54,880 --> 02:00:58,480
Speaker 2: if that's the case, then they Tokenizing your stocks would

2220
02:00:58,480 --> 02:01:00,680
Speaker 2: allow people to have a clear understan of what your

2221
02:01:00,680 --> 02:01:01,640
Speaker 2: stock portfolio.

2222
02:01:01,720 --> 02:01:03,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this is a little different.

2223
02:01:03,240 --> 02:01:05,200
Speaker 8: I mean what I was referring to there is the original,

2224
02:01:05,200 --> 02:01:07,400
Speaker 8: because remember bitcoin does not exist on a network. It's

2225
02:01:07,440 --> 02:01:09,720
Speaker 8: just out in the universe, right, everybody can see it.

2226
02:01:09,960 --> 02:01:12,040
Speaker 8: This is still going to be behind closed doors. It's

2227
02:01:12,080 --> 02:01:16,160
Speaker 8: just allowing the big custodians to move things more quickly

2228
02:01:16,200 --> 02:01:18,200
Speaker 8: because they're going to be synchronizing all of their ledgers

2229
02:01:18,200 --> 02:01:19,840
Speaker 8: across the whole universe. But it doesn't mean that the

2230
02:01:19,880 --> 02:01:22,400
Speaker 8: general public can see it. That is definitely a Bitcoin thing.

2231
02:01:22,640 --> 02:01:24,280
Speaker 8: It's not as private as you might. There's some great

2232
02:01:24,280 --> 02:01:27,080
Speaker 8: books out there about how unprivate that actually is, really,

2233
02:01:27,240 --> 02:01:27,600
Speaker 8: but that.

2234
02:01:27,640 --> 02:01:29,800
Speaker 1: Is not what's happening here. I really want to stress.

2235
02:01:29,520 --> 02:01:32,720
Speaker 8: That this is this is literally as big as you

2236
02:01:32,720 --> 02:01:35,520
Speaker 8: know in the sixties and seventies when big brokers just

2237
02:01:35,520 --> 02:01:38,360
Speaker 8: went from paper certificates to electronic and things got a

2238
02:01:38,360 --> 02:01:39,280
Speaker 8: heck of a lot faster.

2239
02:01:39,400 --> 02:01:40,800
Speaker 1: This is another iteration like that.

2240
02:01:41,040 --> 02:01:44,400
Speaker 2: So I guess the ledger in this particular case is

2241
02:01:45,040 --> 02:01:48,600
Speaker 2: everyone who has any interest in any given stock, So

2242
02:01:48,760 --> 02:01:51,040
Speaker 2: they would all know what's been sold. I mean, because

2243
02:01:51,080 --> 02:01:53,400
Speaker 2: there's a finite amount of shares available for any given

2244
02:01:53,480 --> 02:01:56,800
Speaker 2: company that's traded, right, sure, everybody who's trading in that

2245
02:01:56,840 --> 02:01:59,160
Speaker 2: particular stock on behalf of people, they would all know

2246
02:01:59,320 --> 02:02:02,720
Speaker 2: real time what trades have happened and how much stock

2247
02:02:02,840 --> 02:02:04,760
Speaker 2: is out there or how much has been withdrawn.

2248
02:02:05,080 --> 02:02:07,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, well that's true, but that that's available anyway, I mean,

2249
02:02:07,320 --> 02:02:09,320
Speaker 8: that's just trading data on a daily basis, so that

2250
02:02:09,360 --> 02:02:11,400
Speaker 8: doesn't change things. And there's gonna be rules and that

2251
02:02:11,440 --> 02:02:14,560
Speaker 8: this is they're building this out now. There will be

2252
02:02:14,680 --> 02:02:16,640
Speaker 8: rules in place to say who owns what. But remember

2253
02:02:16,640 --> 02:02:19,000
Speaker 8: these are publicly traded security so the information as to

2254
02:02:19,040 --> 02:02:21,400
Speaker 8: who owns how much that's definitely out there. You've always

2255
02:02:21,400 --> 02:02:23,360
Speaker 8: been able to find that stuff. You can see who

2256
02:02:23,360 --> 02:02:25,720
Speaker 8: the you know, the major shareholders are in the perspectus

2257
02:02:25,760 --> 02:02:27,680
Speaker 8: is you can look on websites and see who owns what.

2258
02:02:27,920 --> 02:02:30,680
Speaker 8: That's what publicly traded means. So that part is not

2259
02:02:30,720 --> 02:02:31,960
Speaker 8: really going to change.

2260
02:02:31,760 --> 02:02:34,720
Speaker 2: All right. So just the speed with which we can

2261
02:02:34,760 --> 02:02:36,760
Speaker 2: get access to the money that we've put away.

2262
02:02:37,160 --> 02:02:39,040
Speaker 8: For sure, And again I do believe this is a

2263
02:02:39,040 --> 02:02:40,720
Speaker 8: good thing. I know from my day to day and

2264
02:02:40,720 --> 02:02:42,680
Speaker 8: our operational folks here at all worth it will be.

2265
02:02:42,800 --> 02:02:44,600
Speaker 8: It will be helpful to reduce the amount of time

2266
02:02:44,640 --> 02:02:46,480
Speaker 8: that we can promise somebody, Hey, your money's going to

2267
02:02:46,520 --> 02:02:47,800
Speaker 8: be in your checking accounts so you can go pay

2268
02:02:47,800 --> 02:02:48,160
Speaker 8: your bills.

2269
02:02:48,600 --> 02:02:50,600
Speaker 2: Okay, if that's ultimately what we get out of it.

2270
02:02:50,600 --> 02:02:53,160
Speaker 2: And there's not any pitfalls that I haven't created on

2271
02:02:53,200 --> 02:02:55,240
Speaker 2: a whole cloth in my mind, for lack of understanding

2272
02:02:55,280 --> 02:02:57,560
Speaker 2: on how this works, and they do have a decent

2273
02:02:57,560 --> 02:03:00,960
Speaker 2: regulatory environment that actually makes sense in place. All right,

2274
02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:03,560
Speaker 2: I'll go for that as a concept anyway, Brian, we'll

2275
02:03:03,560 --> 02:03:06,560
Speaker 2: probably talk about it as we closer approach the launch

2276
02:03:06,640 --> 02:03:08,520
Speaker 2: date of this happening. Right, I bet this will be

2277
02:03:08,520 --> 02:03:11,160
Speaker 2: a topic in twenty six big time. And in twenty

2278
02:03:11,160 --> 02:03:13,320
Speaker 2: six you and I'll be talking on Mondays again. I

2279
02:03:13,400 --> 02:03:16,560
Speaker 2: pray we will. We will, indeed, wonderful Brian James, for

2280
02:03:16,680 --> 02:03:20,480
Speaker 2: my entire listening audience, my family to yours, wonderful Merry

2281
02:03:20,560 --> 02:03:22,920
Speaker 2: Christmas to you and all the folks over at all Worth.

2282
02:03:23,080 --> 02:03:25,440
Speaker 2: I hope you enjoy the holiday season, and I wish

2283
02:03:25,440 --> 02:03:27,280
Speaker 2: you in advance of happy New Year as well.

2284
02:03:27,240 --> 02:03:27,680
Speaker 5: You as well.

2285
02:03:27,720 --> 02:03:30,480
Speaker 8: I'm mery Christmas. Do all happy belated Hanikah and so

2286
02:03:30,520 --> 02:03:32,600
Speaker 8: on and so forth. All that to all the families.

2287
02:03:33,160 --> 02:03:37,680
Speaker 2: Take care of my friender it's Patty, Patty Scott Heart

2288
02:03:37,720 --> 02:03:39,680
Speaker 2: for seniors. I love having her in the program. So

2289
02:03:39,680 --> 02:03:42,520
Speaker 2: she just provides me with so much uplifting information and

2290
02:03:42,600 --> 02:03:45,880
Speaker 2: really illustrates the value to me of the morning show,

2291
02:03:46,000 --> 02:03:49,080
Speaker 2: allowing me the opportunity to provide some great information about

2292
02:03:49,120 --> 02:03:51,800
Speaker 2: these wonderful charitable organizations out there trying to do right

2293
02:03:51,840 --> 02:03:54,720
Speaker 2: by people, and as far as the senior community is concerned,

2294
02:03:55,000 --> 02:03:56,440
Speaker 2: you're not going to find a better group of people

2295
02:03:56,480 --> 02:03:59,200
Speaker 2: than Heart for Seniors Foundation, which you can find online

2296
02:03:59,240 --> 02:04:03,000
Speaker 2: at Heart That I'm dot org five o' one c

2297
02:04:03,160 --> 02:04:08,839
Speaker 2: three nonprofit. Thank you to the very very very wonderful

2298
02:04:08,880 --> 02:04:12,040
Speaker 2: listening audience for the contributions you've made to the organization.

2299
02:04:12,200 --> 02:04:14,320
Speaker 2: But also, and Patty's going to be talking about it,

2300
02:04:14,360 --> 02:04:16,720
Speaker 2: the seniors out in the audience who've been able to

2301
02:04:16,760 --> 02:04:19,480
Speaker 2: get the assistance they need by reaching out the Heart

2302
02:04:19,520 --> 02:04:22,520
Speaker 2: for Seniors And apparently the response, Patty Scott, good to

2303
02:04:22,560 --> 02:04:25,040
Speaker 2: see a response has been rather overwhelming.

2304
02:04:25,600 --> 02:04:29,280
Speaker 6: Good to see, Brian. We love your listeners, we love Cincinnati,

2305
02:04:29,360 --> 02:04:32,360
Speaker 6: we love Kentucky. I'll tell you what. You go from

2306
02:04:32,480 --> 02:04:36,800
Speaker 6: north to south, and those followers are are near and

2307
02:04:36,840 --> 02:04:40,839
Speaker 6: dear to our heart. The senior population is just ignored.

2308
02:04:41,120 --> 02:04:43,720
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just it's sad. The resources are just scary,

2309
02:04:43,840 --> 02:04:46,840
Speaker 6: especially for those of us that are Sandwich generation that

2310
02:04:46,880 --> 02:04:49,640
Speaker 6: are taking care of our parents and still taking care

2311
02:04:49,680 --> 02:04:51,560
Speaker 6: of our kids. So we just want to be there.

2312
02:04:52,480 --> 02:04:55,200
Speaker 6: I got to tell you, it's been obviously our technology.

2313
02:04:55,280 --> 02:04:58,000
Speaker 6: If you've got a parent or a neighbor that's incontinent,

2314
02:04:58,080 --> 02:05:00,360
Speaker 6: if you have someone who has COPD or and justin

2315
02:05:00,400 --> 02:05:04,280
Speaker 6: heart failure, we have the technology that can help. But

2316
02:05:04,440 --> 02:05:07,160
Speaker 6: what has just been so overwhelming are the wounds.

2317
02:05:07,760 --> 02:05:09,000
Speaker 1: The you mad.

2318
02:05:09,280 --> 02:05:11,240
Speaker 2: You're the first person to make me aware that seniors

2319
02:05:11,280 --> 02:05:14,640
Speaker 2: have problems with their skin. It gets so frail that

2320
02:05:14,720 --> 02:05:16,560
Speaker 2: it tears. It's like so bad.

2321
02:05:16,920 --> 02:05:19,680
Speaker 6: It's it's so bad, like they could just bump into

2322
02:05:19,760 --> 02:05:23,080
Speaker 6: a wall and the skin breaks open, and then if

2323
02:05:23,120 --> 02:05:26,919
Speaker 6: it's not caught or saved, it could be very very dangerous.

2324
02:05:26,960 --> 02:05:29,280
Speaker 2: Oh, infections, infection.

2325
02:05:29,680 --> 02:05:31,600
Speaker 6: And then the problem is is the bandages that are

2326
02:05:31,600 --> 02:05:35,000
Speaker 6: out there now tear the skin even worse. So listen,

2327
02:05:35,240 --> 02:05:39,400
Speaker 6: we are here, We will send samples, we have boxes.

2328
02:05:39,480 --> 02:05:41,160
Speaker 6: We have people who continue to come back. They go

2329
02:05:41,160 --> 02:05:43,920
Speaker 6: to the dermatologists, get stuff cut out, and then they

2330
02:05:43,920 --> 02:05:47,600
Speaker 6: have bigger problems and issues. So listen. The holidays are

2331
02:05:47,600 --> 02:05:50,560
Speaker 6: around the corner. If you haven't gotten your neighbor, your

2332
02:05:50,640 --> 02:05:55,240
Speaker 6: loved one, your grandmother, your mother, your father, anything, call us.

2333
02:05:55,400 --> 02:05:58,280
Speaker 6: Let us help you package the most beautiful gift ever

2334
02:05:58,400 --> 02:06:01,360
Speaker 6: to give them, Give them the gift of skin, save

2335
02:06:01,440 --> 02:06:06,160
Speaker 6: their skin. But more importantly, you know, we're so excited

2336
02:06:06,160 --> 02:06:10,440
Speaker 6: we were able to get several organizations out Santa Shoe

2337
02:06:10,440 --> 02:06:13,480
Speaker 6: Boxes to be able to get some home bound seniors.

2338
02:06:13,720 --> 02:06:16,280
Speaker 6: If you know any homebound seniors, let us help you.

2339
02:06:16,360 --> 02:06:18,560
Speaker 6: Let us get some something out there to help them.

2340
02:06:19,000 --> 02:06:21,720
Speaker 6: But more importantly, we're here for a resource. We had

2341
02:06:21,720 --> 02:06:24,480
Speaker 6: people last week who had parents and hospitals and they

2342
02:06:24,480 --> 02:06:28,160
Speaker 6: didn't know what to do. They were they long term

2343
02:06:28,200 --> 02:06:30,120
Speaker 6: care facilities. Do we send them here? Do we send

2344
02:06:30,120 --> 02:06:31,400
Speaker 6: them there? Just call us.

2345
02:06:32,800 --> 02:06:36,560
Speaker 2: You're our phone. And we're not just a technology, not

2346
02:06:36,640 --> 02:06:39,000
Speaker 2: just a band aids. So it's not band it's bandied.

2347
02:06:39,040 --> 02:06:43,160
Speaker 2: These are specifically designed skin tear related bandages, special design.

2348
02:06:43,640 --> 02:06:47,120
Speaker 2: But you're more than that. You're a resource education dealing

2349
02:06:47,360 --> 02:06:50,120
Speaker 2: with people who either in that position or you know

2350
02:06:50,240 --> 02:06:52,320
Speaker 2: somebody one of the family members who's struggling with it.

2351
02:06:52,400 --> 02:06:53,600
Speaker 2: What do I do? What do I do?

2352
02:06:53,840 --> 02:06:56,480
Speaker 6: Yes, Yes, we'll help you be an advocate. Will help

2353
02:06:56,520 --> 02:06:59,200
Speaker 6: you be an advocate to speak on behalf of your mother,

2354
02:06:59,280 --> 02:07:03,000
Speaker 6: your father, and your neighbor. It's amazing. We've been talking

2355
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:05,560
Speaker 6: to a lot of firefighters recently. I can't tell you

2356
02:07:05,560 --> 02:07:07,400
Speaker 6: how many, nine to one one calls they make out

2357
02:07:07,400 --> 02:07:10,280
Speaker 6: to the homes strictly just because of cuts and tears,

2358
02:07:10,760 --> 02:07:13,560
Speaker 6: and what's sad. This is what's sad. We talked to

2359
02:07:13,600 --> 02:07:17,080
Speaker 6: the police chiefs and the fire chiefs. They have gauze tape,

2360
02:07:17,400 --> 02:07:22,440
Speaker 6: they don't really have the actual skin tear mechanisms to

2361
02:07:22,480 --> 02:07:24,480
Speaker 6: be able to put so, and that's a lot of

2362
02:07:24,520 --> 02:07:27,320
Speaker 6: their calls. Or just somebody bumps into the wall and

2363
02:07:27,440 --> 02:07:31,120
Speaker 6: something just breaks open. So I know, I know.

2364
02:07:32,040 --> 02:07:34,480
Speaker 2: That's why. I mean, if you have the knowledge, like,

2365
02:07:34,480 --> 02:07:36,320
Speaker 2: wait a second, there's a product out there that deals

2366
02:07:36,360 --> 02:07:38,600
Speaker 2: with this, Yes, there is, Yes, Oh my god, we're

2367
02:07:38,640 --> 02:07:41,360
Speaker 2: not gonna have this problem anymore. There you go. These bandages.

2368
02:07:41,880 --> 02:07:44,400
Speaker 2: I've used the parallel before. It's like when you pull

2369
02:07:44,440 --> 02:07:46,520
Speaker 2: a post it note off whatever it's stuck to, it

2370
02:07:46,640 --> 02:07:49,480
Speaker 2: just comes right off. It sticks there all day until

2371
02:07:49,520 --> 02:07:52,160
Speaker 2: you gently pull it off, and it doesn't have any problem.

2372
02:07:52,200 --> 02:07:54,960
Speaker 2: No adhesive sticks to the wall it's hanging from. It

2373
02:07:55,040 --> 02:07:57,600
Speaker 2: just tears right up. That's the way these bandages work

2374
02:07:57,600 --> 02:08:01,000
Speaker 2: on senior skin. Yes, that delicate skin will not tear

2375
02:08:01,080 --> 02:08:02,360
Speaker 2: when you pull the bandage off.

2376
02:08:02,440 --> 02:08:05,240
Speaker 6: Correct. And for those families taking care of their loved

2377
02:08:05,240 --> 02:08:08,480
Speaker 6: ones at home, you know, We know the burden, especially

2378
02:08:08,520 --> 02:08:13,320
Speaker 6: when they're incontinent. Just the thought of your loved ones

2379
02:08:13,360 --> 02:08:16,480
Speaker 6: sitting in their urn, in their feces, you know, and

2380
02:08:16,560 --> 02:08:19,520
Speaker 6: for a long period of time that generates skin break down.

2381
02:08:20,000 --> 02:08:22,320
Speaker 6: And we have the technology that can help you. We

2382
02:08:22,480 --> 02:08:25,360
Speaker 6: have the technology that can it's alert response technology that

2383
02:08:25,400 --> 02:08:27,840
Speaker 6: can help you while you're caring for your loved one

2384
02:08:27,840 --> 02:08:28,200
Speaker 6: at home.

2385
02:08:28,520 --> 02:08:30,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the first technology that you brought to

2386
02:08:30,760 --> 02:08:32,640
Speaker 2: light when you first came on the Morning Show. That

2387
02:08:33,400 --> 02:08:36,480
Speaker 2: the monitor for the adult garments that send you an

2388
02:08:36,520 --> 02:08:40,080
Speaker 2: alert to your smart device, both like in facilities where

2389
02:08:40,080 --> 02:08:42,240
Speaker 2: they're taking care of seniors. Yes, it goes to the

2390
02:08:42,280 --> 02:08:46,320
Speaker 2: nursing station. They know who has soiled themselves and who doesn't.

2391
02:08:46,360 --> 02:08:49,640
Speaker 2: So the schedule isn't a schedule. It's more dealing with

2392
02:08:49,680 --> 02:08:52,560
Speaker 2: the problem on an as needed, immediate basis. It just

2393
02:08:52,800 --> 02:08:54,640
Speaker 2: it's a well oiled machine.

2394
02:08:54,200 --> 02:08:58,280
Speaker 6: It is. And we're excited in twenty twenty six thanks

2395
02:08:58,280 --> 02:09:00,600
Speaker 6: to your donations, and we can tell you to need

2396
02:09:00,640 --> 02:09:03,280
Speaker 6: the donations. One of the things we heard back from

2397
02:09:03,280 --> 02:09:06,520
Speaker 6: your listeners are fall risks. Falls are scary.

2398
02:09:06,640 --> 02:09:08,440
Speaker 2: All right, well'll tell you what since it Tate forty

2399
02:09:08,440 --> 02:09:10,960
Speaker 2: five will pause and we'll talk about the new technology

2400
02:09:11,040 --> 02:09:15,400
Speaker 2: to deal with falls as well as the upcoming advancement

2401
02:09:15,480 --> 02:09:19,160
Speaker 2: or enlargement of the wrist wearables. You folks out there

2402
02:09:19,200 --> 02:09:22,200
Speaker 2: with Apple watches come in your directions, so you don't

2403
02:09:22,200 --> 02:09:24,680
Speaker 2: need to even buy a new piece of equipment to

2404
02:09:24,680 --> 02:09:28,400
Speaker 2: get this wonderful technology. Heart Number four Seniors. There's a

2405
02:09:28,440 --> 02:09:31,040
Speaker 2: little donate button up there. I've used that before. You

2406
02:09:31,080 --> 02:09:33,800
Speaker 2: too can provide some help for this wonderful organization so

2407
02:09:33,840 --> 02:09:37,560
Speaker 2: it can achieve these noble, noble objectives. More with Patty

2408
02:09:37,600 --> 02:09:39,320
Speaker 2: Scott just pause from Romide.

2409
02:09:39,000 --> 02:09:43,320
Speaker 6: Right back fifty five KRC Drowning an IRS debt if

2410
02:09:43,360 --> 02:09:44,080
Speaker 6: you can't.

02:09:43,800 --> 02:09:50,560
Speaker 2: Afford eight forty nine. Happy Monday made happier because Patty

2412
02:09:50,560 --> 02:09:53,800
Speaker 2: Scott from Heart for Seniors in the studio and just love, love,

2413
02:09:54,080 --> 02:09:56,800
Speaker 2: love what they are doing for the senior community out there.

2414
02:09:56,840 --> 02:09:59,400
Speaker 2: Whether you're in an assisted living facility or you were

2415
02:09:59,440 --> 02:10:02,320
Speaker 2: at home getting care from a loved one, they're trying

2416
02:10:02,320 --> 02:10:05,240
Speaker 2: to make your life a lot easier. And so we've

2417
02:10:05,280 --> 02:10:08,440
Speaker 2: talked about the bandages. They come off, they work great.

2418
02:10:08,840 --> 02:10:11,520
Speaker 2: I was thinking about your comment about emergency medical services.

2419
02:10:11,720 --> 02:10:14,920
Speaker 2: They use regular gauze and just so they have the problem.

2420
02:10:14,960 --> 02:10:18,560
Speaker 2: They're creating the tear problem by attending to the wound.

2421
02:10:19,720 --> 02:10:22,720
Speaker 2: If there's an EMS person out in the listening audiences,

2422
02:10:22,720 --> 02:10:26,120
Speaker 2: wait a second, how come we don't have that they

2423
02:10:26,200 --> 02:10:28,600
Speaker 2: what do they do? I mean you're talking about a municipality,

2424
02:10:28,640 --> 02:10:31,920
Speaker 2: a township EMS. That's a funding question. You know, they

2425
02:10:31,920 --> 02:10:34,200
Speaker 2: need the resources to get the bandages to avoid all

2426
02:10:34,200 --> 02:10:37,000
Speaker 2: these problems that they're creating using the old school methodology.

2427
02:10:37,560 --> 02:10:39,880
Speaker 6: Call us. We can help them, we can direct them,

2428
02:10:39,880 --> 02:10:42,200
Speaker 6: we can get them exactly what they need, and ironically

2429
02:10:42,240 --> 02:10:45,280
Speaker 6: what we have is less expensive than what they're currently buying.

2430
02:10:45,320 --> 02:10:45,600
Speaker 7: We have.

2431
02:10:48,360 --> 02:10:51,400
Speaker 2: Do this for seniors and for the municipal tack pair.

2432
02:10:52,240 --> 02:10:54,440
Speaker 2: It's the right thing to do. Hard number four seniors

2433
02:10:54,480 --> 02:10:56,400
Speaker 2: dot orgs where you find them. Is there a phone

2434
02:10:56,440 --> 02:10:57,320
Speaker 2: ever you want to give out?

2435
02:10:57,360 --> 02:11:00,959

Speaker 6: Let us get samples out to your neighbor, let us

2438
02:11:07,040 --> 02:11:08,960
Speaker 6: get the technology. I get to tell you we have

2439
02:11:09,040 --> 02:11:12,640
Speaker 6: exciting things coming for twenty twenty six. Thanks to your donations,

02:11:13,480 --> 02:11:15,600
Speaker 6: we add a lot of your listeners. Tell us that

2441
02:11:15,760 --> 02:11:20,400
Speaker 6: outside of incontinence, outside of COPD, outside of congestive heart

2442
02:11:20,400 --> 02:11:23,960
Speaker 6: failure outside of skin tear. One of the biggest concerns

2443
02:11:24,240 --> 02:11:25,880
Speaker 6: and fears they have are false.

2444
02:11:26,080 --> 02:11:31,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely, the statistics are insane with broken hips.

2445
02:11:30,840 --> 02:11:35,080
Speaker 6: Falls and UTIs and UTIs too. Yeah, UTIs can go

2446
02:11:35,160 --> 02:11:38,000
Speaker 6: so bad, so quick. So we have some really cool

2447
02:11:38,040 --> 02:11:40,760
Speaker 6: technology that we're hoping by first quarter we'll be able

2448
02:11:40,800 --> 02:11:45,840
Speaker 6: to release on the existing technology that can alert us

2449
02:11:45,960 --> 02:11:49,400
Speaker 6: alert response technology to potential false.

2450
02:11:49,280 --> 02:11:52,760
Speaker 2: All right, so currently your alert response technology alerts the

2451
02:11:53,000 --> 02:11:53,720
Speaker 2: blood pressure.

2452
02:11:53,960 --> 02:11:58,120
Speaker 6: So currently we can do incontinence, which is moisture or

2453
02:11:58,160 --> 02:12:01,200
Speaker 6: bowel movement, or if some but he doesn't have moisture,

2454
02:12:01,280 --> 02:12:05,120
Speaker 6: it could potentially mean they're dehydrated, or if they haven't

2455
02:12:05,120 --> 02:12:08,240
Speaker 6: had a bow movement, that's really severe and could potentially

2456
02:12:08,280 --> 02:12:11,040
Speaker 6: alert to a fecal impaction, which is boo related and

2457
02:12:11,080 --> 02:12:14,640
Speaker 6: not good. On the wrist, we can do heart rate

2458
02:12:15,040 --> 02:12:20,520
Speaker 6: pulse socks, which is major and we are testing a

2459
02:12:20,640 --> 02:12:25,280
Speaker 6: real blood pressure, so we'll see where that goes. We

2460
02:12:25,280 --> 02:12:29,480
Speaker 6: don't like to release anything until it's tested and really confirmed, right,

2461
02:12:29,800 --> 02:12:33,240
Speaker 6: but that's something that obviously is near your and temperature

2462
02:12:33,600 --> 02:12:37,480
Speaker 6: right temperature can alert to UTIs, pneumonia, things like that

2463
02:12:37,560 --> 02:12:38,120
Speaker 6: ahead of time.

2464
02:12:38,320 --> 02:12:41,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, spy contemperature red flag in pretty much all cases.

2465
02:12:41,520 --> 02:12:44,560
Speaker 2: And that is the wrist wearable that you're currently.

2466
02:12:44,760 --> 02:12:46,360
Speaker 6: As well as the incontinent smart breath.

2467
02:12:46,760 --> 02:12:49,480
Speaker 2: Then you sell those on the heart for Seniors dot org.

2468
02:12:49,680 --> 02:12:52,520
Speaker 6: Or donate them, or donate donate them. I mean everything

2469
02:12:52,560 --> 02:12:55,120
Speaker 6: that comes in is a donation. Everything is a donation.

2470
02:12:55,200 --> 02:12:58,440
Speaker 6: So we can get it out too, friends, families, doesn't matter.

2471
02:12:58,440 --> 02:13:00,000
Speaker 6: It's all five on one C three donations.

2472
02:13:00,320 --> 02:13:05,960
Speaker 2: Wonderful. So you've got though an even larger technological development

2473
02:13:06,000 --> 02:13:08,160
Speaker 2: coming and I'm really excited about this one, and I

2474
02:13:08,200 --> 02:13:10,800
Speaker 2: really hope it works out because you know, in your

2475
02:13:10,840 --> 02:13:13,560
Speaker 2: particular case, no big deal given what you get in

2476
02:13:13,600 --> 02:13:16,360
Speaker 2: return for purchasing the or or getting or receiving a

2477
02:13:16,400 --> 02:13:19,800
Speaker 2: donation of the wrist wearable. It's your wrist wearable. It's

2478
02:13:19,840 --> 02:13:24,000
Speaker 2: not Apples. But you know, dang that technology has to

2479
02:13:24,080 --> 02:13:26,320
Speaker 2: exist an Apple, can you expand it to gather the

2480
02:13:26,360 --> 02:13:30,600
Speaker 2: information that you want, pul sox, heart rate, et cetera.

2481
02:13:31,440 --> 02:13:32,280
Speaker 2: Is it coming? So?

2482
02:13:32,640 --> 02:13:34,920
Speaker 6: So for us it was about accuracy. We know ours

2483
02:13:34,960 --> 02:13:37,400
Speaker 6: is accurate. The watches that were we had a lot

2484
02:13:37,400 --> 02:13:39,640
Speaker 6: of people ask about the Iway. The problem with it.

2485
02:13:39,640 --> 02:13:43,520
Speaker 6: It wasn't accurate with this new eleven that has come out,

2486
02:13:43,560 --> 02:13:47,040
Speaker 6: we've been able to partner with them and we're doing

2487
02:13:47,080 --> 02:13:50,280
Speaker 6: some testing by being able to put our actual alert

2488
02:13:50,360 --> 02:13:54,680
Speaker 6: response technology ecosystem onto the actual watch itself.

2489
02:13:54,360 --> 02:13:55,760
Speaker 2: Like an app loading an app.

2490
02:13:55,840 --> 02:13:58,200
Speaker 6: You get your start sort of kind of. Yeah, hey, listen, I'm.

2491
02:13:58,080 --> 02:14:02,240
Speaker 2: Boiling it down. It boiling it down to Thomas understandable. Yeah,

2492
02:14:02,400 --> 02:14:02,760
Speaker 2: sort of.

2493
02:14:03,120 --> 02:14:07,320
Speaker 6: And so so far, based on the new technology that

2494
02:14:07,360 --> 02:14:11,320
Speaker 6: they have, we have shown some very good signs.

2495
02:14:11,400 --> 02:14:12,920
Speaker 2: Oh wonderful that it's.

2496
02:14:12,800 --> 02:14:18,080
Speaker 6: Working, and we're hoping by January we can have that available.

2497
02:14:18,120 --> 02:14:21,280
Speaker 6: So if somebody doesn't want to use our technology, but

2498
02:14:21,360 --> 02:14:24,360
Speaker 6: they have a current up to date has to be

2499
02:14:24,400 --> 02:14:28,280
Speaker 6: a special one of the elevens AR alert response technology

2500
02:14:28,320 --> 02:14:30,920
Speaker 6: would work on that. Okay, and you are, We're so excited.

2501
02:14:31,720 --> 02:14:34,720
Speaker 6: Let me know we will. We will because with that

2502
02:14:35,240 --> 02:14:38,160
Speaker 6: comes a whole slew of some other really cool things

2503
02:14:38,520 --> 02:14:41,960
Speaker 6: from sleep to falls, to a whole lot of other

2504
02:14:42,000 --> 02:14:43,320
Speaker 6: things that we can incorporate.

2505
02:14:43,600 --> 02:14:46,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, the whole fall thing is just that just wigs
