Speaker 1

A smell that fresh money news is being served. This is the Bloomberg Money Minute on seven hundred WLW.

Speaker 2

Right directors with us this morning. We got another report here. Let's talk about Tesla this start. Their sales outlook darkens despite Musk's self driving euphoria. That's right, Steve.

Speaker 3

Tesla's expected to report today that it delivered just under four hundred and forty one thousand vehicles in the fourth quarter. That's down eleven percent from last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg and Tesla ended last year on a roll, with investors increasingly buying into elon Musk's excitement over autonomous vehicles, But winning over actual car buyers is another story.

Speaker 2

Yeah, okay, we got gold, silver, platinum. They've all been surging. But now the price of aluminum is going up.

Speaker 3

Yeah. Aluminums climbed above three thousand dollars a ton for the first time in more than three years on tightening supply outlook and long term demand bets. A cap on Chinese smelting capacity and constraints to European production due to higher electricity prices have chipped away at global inventories, while the demand outlook from the construction and renewable sectors remain robust. Copper, nickel, and iron ore futures also seeing gains, with copper resuming its gains as well.

Speaker 1

So that's what that looks like.

Speaker 2

Okay, less than ninety minutes to open. We haven't been opening the stock market since Wednesday, New Year's Eve.

Speaker 1

What are you seeing right now?

Speaker 3

Well, it looks like market future is pointing to a higher open right now. Dow futures up one hundred and eighty two points, NASTAC futures up two forty five, SMP futures up thirty nine from Bloomberg. Erica Herschowitz on news radio seven hundred WLW.

Speaker 1

Already, thank you so much.

Speaker 2

Eight eleven on seven hundred WLW, Steve Hawkins in for Tom Brenneman. We get to talk to Matt Rausch on Fridays. Hey, Matt, how are.

Speaker 4

You pretty good? Happy to be here?

Speaker 2

Yeah, I hope you had a great New Year and stayed up till midnight partying.

Speaker 4

That's I certainly had a very fun night.

Speaker 5

Yes, I did that to night that I stay away from the TV, although there's a lot of great TV that's happening. And Diana Ross ringing in the new Year on ABC, which would have been a lot of fun. But no, the night that I do some very New Yorky things here, but I stay far away from Times Square.

Speaker 4

If I can possibly do it, you.

Speaker 1

Have to, all right, let's kick it off.

Speaker 2

Fox is wasting no time to get the shows on the air this week, right.

Speaker 5

Yeah, including one that's going to be a lot of very familiar to people who have seen a show, a long running British show on that was syndicated to PBS stations. The show they're titling Best Medicine, which premieres on Sunday. It basically is an American version of a show called Doc Martin that has run for like ten years, and many people who've.

Speaker 4

Watched this show, it's one of those sort of.

Speaker 5

Cozy medical dramas with a lot of comedy in it. But the show is about this doctor and the doctor's name is Martin Best, and it's played by Josh Charles. And Josh Charles is a very familiar TV face. He's been in shows like The Good Wife and The Handmaid's Tale all the way back to Sports Night as an early Aaron Sorkin show. But he plays this guy Uh. But he doesn't like to be called Doc Martin for obvious reasons, because he don't want to say that this

is not Doc Martin. This is a show called Best Medicine.

Speaker 1

But the idea here is.

Speaker 5

That he is relocated from the big city of Boston into a small town in Maine. He becomes the small town's doctor. And the reason he had to leave the big practice is because he has developed some very bizarre and you'll find out later why, a diversion to blood. So when he sees blood, he gets really kind of shaken, which is not good for a doctor, I imagine. But but but the idea is that he is also this not He's not a people person, so to for him to become the town doctor is an odd fit for him.

He does, and as he gets close to this town with all these quirky people, he'll he'll soften up and they'll get to like him.

Speaker 4

But it takes a while. But the series begins on on on on.

Speaker 5

Sunday on Fox, and uh, and so the people who have watched Doc Martin over the years, Uh, they're going to understand that this is basically the same show, only with an American accent. But it is a show that ran for a long time in England and the Fox is lucky they'll have a.

Speaker 4

Hit on their hands as well.

Speaker 5

And it's a very it's more of a comedy than a drama sometimes that there is a lot of medical stories. So anyway, that's the new show. Fox is going to have a lot of new shows on this week. But also Sunday, I should point out that there's a new episode of The Simpsons, which is going to be hitting its eight hitdredth episode in a couple of weeks. But this is a spoof of Severance, the hit show that's up for a lot of awards.

Speaker 1

On the Apple TV.

Speaker 4

But Severance.

Speaker 5

In this episode, Homer goes to work for this secretive company that screws with your mind, which if you know the show Severance, it's the show. But people when to go to work, their outside selves are separated from their inside selves, so the people at work don't know who they are on the outside. People on the outside don't know what they do on the inside. So we'll see

how this works in the world of Homer Simpson. So anyway, that's happening, and then later in the week, Fox is going to give us a new season, the fourteenth season already of The Masked Singer, which is of their big hit shows where celebrities or people who are supposed to be celebrities are hiding inside these huge, crazy costumes while they're singing songs and you're trying to figure out who's

inside the costume. And some of the costumes this season include egg Plant, a couple based on dogs like Queen Corgy and Pudcasso, so I guess that's a pug that looks like Picasso, scare of which is as big big spider. And then there's a sometimes they do it and like teams, and there's something to be called the Croissants. So those are some of the people that you meet in this new season of.

Speaker 4

The Massive Singer.

Speaker 5

Very silly show, but again the reality TV is upon us and it's going to be a flunt of it as we head into January. You know, the holiday hiatus is over, so there's a lot of new stuff coming on already in January.

Speaker 2

Yeah, what very little I've watched with the masks Singer. I've never guessed any of those people. I always feel like an idiot.

Speaker 5

Well, and when they unmask them, it's like, oh, what an anti climax Sometimes I go, is that supposed to be a famous person? Kind of like what happens on Dancing with the Stars anymore? Though you never know, You never.

Speaker 1

Know, all right.

Speaker 2

For fans of reality competitions, we had some more of that coming up this week's streaming.

Speaker 5

Yeah, two of the biggest shows on streaming. The two of the biggest reality competitions on streaming are back this week. Amazon Prime Video they launched us a second season of Beast Games, which became right away their most popular non

scripted show ever. These Games comes from a guy called Mister Beast, famous YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson who creates these crazy stunts on YouTube, but now he's turned it into a game show where he brings on a hundred of the smartest people and one hundred of the strongest people to play opposite each other.

Speaker 4

They whittle it down.

Speaker 5

Of course, you have to have alliances because you never know what the next challenge is going to be. Sometimes it's going to be about brains, sometimes it's going to be about braun And so these teams kind of have to work together and the team and the teams get little down pretty quick. There is a point at which almost half the contestants are gone, like right away. But they're playing for five million dollars, so the stakes are really high. The stunts and the games are really wild.

And so Beast Games begins on Wednesday, and I think with three episodes, and so that became a big hit for them, and then one day later on Peacock they're going to launch the fourth season of The Traders, which has become a big hit with the Emmys. And this is a series where it's all very devious and there's people who's working against this the group's best interests, and who's the trader and who's the hero You never really know again until the end of the series. But the

cast includes a lot of reality TV veterans. You got several Real housewives, You've got people who've you known from Survivor and Love Island and Bachelor and Dancing with the Stars and Top Chefs.

Speaker 4

So these are like.

Speaker 5

People who become famous on reality TV and now they come together in this show. And then of course what I've also seen happen is people who become famous on The Traders go on to be on shows like Dancing with the Stars.

Speaker 4

So these things they.

Speaker 1

Feed each other.

Speaker 5

So you're going to get people like also Tera Lipinski and Johnny Weir. You're going to see later on this year at the Olympics. They're going to be in this season, Football Mom, donnic Kelcey and lots more people. So anyway, The Traders is a lot of fun. Out on coming is the host. And so that's happening on Peacock on Thursday.

Speaker 1

And we got a new year here.

Speaker 2

The dawn of a new year comes the beginning of Awards season.

Speaker 1

Yeah.

Speaker 5

Yeah, every week you're just about going to give us a new awards show. But the first up is the Critics Choice Awards, and I guess out of the full disclosure, I sit on some of the nominating committees for the TV categories. They do both TV and film, but Film gets most of the attention right now because everything is a build up to the Oscars later this year. But the Critics Choice Award is going to be airing on USA Network and the E Channel on Sunday night, and it's the.

Speaker 4

First big Hollywood Awards show.

Speaker 5

So you're going to see Sinners, the movie, the big hit movie from last year that's leading the movie pack with seventeen nominations. One battle after another with Leonardo DiCaprio.

That's close behind the fourteen. So those are again going to tell you that these are the movies that are probably going to be up for the Oscars ater on when those nominations come out, and on the TV side, I would expect you'll see sort of a repeatable what happened at the Emmy's last year, because The Pit is up for Best Drama, at the Studio is up for Best Comedy. Adolescents from Netflix is a limited series favorite, so they'll probably have their They'll probably do very well

at the Critics Choice Awards as well. I was really happy that Alien Earth, one of my favorite shows from last year, got nominated for Best Drama. Probably won't win, but I'm glad that it's in there. And when you see these nominations Nape nominations for both movies and films, sometimes you're thinking for movies and TV, you're thinking, maybe these are things I ought to check out. So again that's what good I guess Critics Choice Awards are.

Speaker 4

We will see.

Speaker 5

But anyway, the Golden Globes are a week away.

Speaker 4

So TV is back with us right now.

Speaker 2

Good Matt Rouse, talking TV, how do we connect with you.

It's coming up on eight thirty nine, seven hundred WLW Steve Hawkins and for Tom Burnham, and he's back on Monday morning at five oh six to get you into twenty twenty six. I thought we would look back on twenty twenty five with Brian Combs from our newsroom.

Speaker 1

Thanks for stopping by.

Speaker 2

Absolutely the biggest stories of twenty twenty five that you guys covered is a big snowstorm last January.

Speaker 11

One of how it started twenty twenty five saw the holiday break for many kids extended by three or four days. The city and the Tristate area hit by up to a foot of snow in spots, and for Cincinnati it was parallel. I mean there were parts of Mount Adams, you could not get through other neighborhoods locked in the snow hit. Then the cold locked in that snow before the crews could get to it. Come to find out that the city had all kinds of issues trying to

handle the snow, including equipment that was broken down. Investigation later revealed that about twenty five percent of the fleet wasn't working. They didn't have adequate plans to use city workers for overtime to get them in trucks and get out there were in the past they would take people from other departments, kind of making it all hands on deck

thing when a snowstorm like that hit. But they found out that those other department workers were not trained for the job or they were just not willing to do it, didn't want to volunteer, and the city didn't want to force them. They went through six months at city Hall of studying the issues they had with snow, removed and hired a new public services director from Cleveland and the guy who was used to dealing with big snows, and so far since the storms that we've had, city seems

to have done a much better problem. But part of a big part of the early part of twenty twenty five was marked by the City of Cincinnati's failure to be able to do basic things like remove snow from

the neighborhoods. Councilman Seth Walsh pretty much campaigned on it, and he was a frequent guest on Scott Sloan's show talking about his frustrations dealing with the city manager and other people in the city who had neglected snow removal in part because we really hadn't been hit by a big storm in a while.

Speaker 1

I mean, those of us.

Speaker 11

Who grew up here know what it's like to go through the winners of seventy seven and seventy eight, But at that point the city leaders had not all right.

Speaker 1

Another story that you guys covered, you.

Speaker 11

Know, crime in the City of Cincinnati certainly has been one of the major themes throughout the year. Had the tragic death of the Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy Detective Deputy Larry Henderson, who was directing traffic near uc He was killed and what we come to find out was apparently a revenge style murder over the death of the suspect's son who was shot by Cincinnati police. That was the

Ryan Hinton case that dominated the headlines. After that all played out in May, we had several cases during the summer and that were very high profile, including the over the Rye murder of Patrick Herringer and his wife. Then became really the poster child for demanding action from city hall. She was quite vocal in her frustrations with the City of Cincinnati leadership over things that were not being done

to secure the neighborhood. Really started a city wide crackdown on crime that brought state police into town, you know, new partnerships with the federal government to try and get violent criminals off the streets for the year, and it looks like violent crime and Cincinnati will end up being down in the neighborhood of seven and a half to eight percent. Final figures are not in yet. One casualty of all the issues with crime with Cincinnati Police Chief

Teresa thigi Oh. She was suspended by the City of Cincinnati an investigation launch, saying they questioned whether or not she was effective in leading the department to deal with such a big issue as the crime problem in Cincinnati. We found out just a couple of days ago that that investigation is not yet complete. They haven't found out the reason why to fire her exactly, and the city is going to have the investigators work for two more

months to keep looking for issues. The crime issue became the big issue of the campaign of twenty twenty five. Cincinnati Mayor aftab Perval was challenged by a West End minister, Corey Bowman, who was the Republican candidate. Puval, in spite of the issues with crime and snow removal and other things that the city was criticized for, won in a landslide, wasn't close, and all eight of the incumbents who were on council who ran for reelection were re elected. They

were every one of them in the November elections. The other interesting thing that happened in Hamilton County at the same time was gains that we saw the Democratic Party make in places that were considered incredibly blue incredibly red that went blue, like Anderson Township. Republican incumbents lost two trustee races there. The Republican Conservatives lost control of the Forest Hills school Board. Democrats scored gains in Springfield Township.

Also outside Hamilton County, Mason saw Democrats win council races there, and Westchester saw a trustee races where Democrats that the question is that some kind of referendum back against Donald Trump. One big story that's going to play out in January of this year goes back to July, and that was the brawl that happened downtown after the music festival and the assault charges that followed in what appeared to be

a dispute between white and black people. The one white person who was charged in the case after the fact, long after the fact, the Russian Alex Stravinsky, is set to go on trial in the coming weeks. Trialing is supposed to happen in December. He's only charged with the sword of the conduct, but that'll be the first of these cases to hit the courts. Other big things that happened in the tri State in twenty twenty five include

a number of immigration raids. The Butler County sheriff, as he has been for a long time, very vocal about supporting the administration's policies. We had the iman who was a counselor at Children's hospital locked up in Butler County for several months, so i'man Solomon was released after seventy three days in jail. When the government said they really didn't have any case against him, and you talk about racial issues and unrest. The thing that caught the headlines

this summer. It happened and even actually in February, but then went on into the summer when the KKK took over an overpass on seventy five and Evendale and the people of Lincoln Heights took great offense and started patrolling their own streets and standing up to the protesters who were there. That has led the county this summer to take a look at issues about how the Sheriff's department

and others respond. The Evendale Police Department continues to look at how they will handle dealing with those kind of demonstrations in the future. There were a number of people who were very upset that the Sheriff's department kind of helped the demonstrators who caused the controversy get out of there and escort them on their way.

Speaker 1

Big sports stories of twenty twenty five.

Speaker 11

Yeah, Joe Burrow's healthy now, but we know what happened when he got hurt and Bengals failed to make the playoffs for the third straight year. The Reds got to the playoffs first time in a while only to be

swept by the Dodgers. Unfortunately, the big news on the side with the Hamilton County and the Bengals settling the lease, so we know the Bengals are in town for at least eleven more years, as they signed that lease a new lease to play a pay Corse Stadium that includes four hundred and seventy five million dollars worth of improvements, and I understand that as soon as the Bengals finish Sunday afternoon's game, they will start the process immediately of

taking that money and making improvements. A lot of the seats have to be torn out and replaced. The elevators are going to get a makeover. Those escalators that never seem to work to the upper tack are are scheduled to be replaced. And that has worked that They tell me we'll start on Monday as soon as the Bengals season's over.

Speaker 2

Thanks for recapping twenty twenty five. I appreciate it all Right, Brian comes in the newsroom. The biggest stories that they covered this year eighty eight now, and we need Chuck Ingram's in here covering the biggest traffic stories of today.

Speaker 1

I would think of today. What was last year's biggest one?

Speaker 6

Well, I was thinking I was looking more to the future and coming up in the next couple of weeks, actually next week, and things are going to get a little bit more hectic, trying to go from Covington to Newport. All right, as work on the fourth Street bridge is going to start, and the schedule to start on the twelfth, they'll close it over the Licking River, and that it will be until twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 2

I want to get an end depth report next week from you on Friday. All right, I'll do that, all right? What are you dealing with today? From the uc Health Triumphing Center. From non evasive to surgical treatments. The uc Health Backneck and Spine Center offers every option to improve quality of life with convenient locations across Greater Cincinnati and

northern Kentucky. Learned more at ucehealth dot com. Not so bad this morning cleaning up cup over rex Easpound on two seventy five after Winton and eastbound one twenty nine at Cincinnati Dayton.

Speaker 7

I haven't had one, but these have been really good cellar for them, and hopefully they get it all straightened out where they still remain legally allowed to be sold in Ohio after a couple of days.

Speaker 2

That's good cherry limade sounding good to me. Urban artifact they've got is it a meat raffle? Is that what that is?

Speaker 4

Speaker 7

And that's tonight from seven to ten pm with what's great special it's going on.

Speaker 2

Speaker 2

Later this month, let's go to West Sixth Brewing is celebrating their one beer anniversary at the Covington House location. As they said, one beer anniversary.

Speaker 7

Yeah, it's hard to believe that they've already they've already made it a year. And that's in that old mcknolls Covington House, the firehouse down there by Mother God's Church, and they're they're going to be celebrating that on January fifteenth through the seventeenth, so in a couple of weekends.

Speaker 2

All right, So we got that going on to what am I missing here? Barley Corns.

Speaker 7

We've got the Yeah, we've got a Barley Corns brew house. They're opening up there. They're expanded big location out there Independence at the downs of Nicholson Development, and they're they're hoping to have this ready early springtime. So I would think by March we'll be uh, we'll be talking about a new location out here in Independence and looks to be like, it's going to be quite the place.

Speaker 2

And that's gonna be if I'm not mistaken. That's their second location, Is that right correct?

Speaker 7

That'll be their their second location, and it should be an expanded brewing operation. So they should be able to make a little more beer now.

Speaker 2

And that's what we need. We need more beer. Tell me about Bockfest. It's already on the calendar, isn't it.

Speaker 7

Yeah, so they've they've released the dates. So it'll be March sixth through the eighth coming up. And that's always a rite of spring around here. I mean I always you always know that we're pretty much finished with with with the snow and the cold and that once Bockfest rolls around. So I thought be a positive way to welcome in the new year with the Bockfest dates for this on a.

Speaker 2

Year, Okay, for people new to Cincinnati and never been, how do you how do you explain Bockfest.

Speaker 7

It's a it's sech a unique celebration of the bock beer style, and you've got a lot of the breweries that participate, a lot of the bars and stuff, and it's just it reaches back to the brewing history in the area with a lot of different things.

Speaker 1

But the amazing thing is they do.

Speaker 7

A parade with big big goats and everything and stuff.

Speaker 1

That's incredible.

Speaker 4

It's it's it's.

Speaker 7

Like an october Fest, but for bock beer in the.
