55KRC Monday Show - Cure Starts Now, Smitherman, Money Monday

we deal with it. Coming up at fifty five Care Morning Show seven oh five, Keith Destrids from the Care Starts Now got a special opportunity to help, you know, stop pediatric brain cancer and find a cure for it. Getting a head of the holiday shopping special days like Black Friday and Super Saturday or whatever the hell those things are, maybe give to the charities before you go out and spend a lot of money on stuff and things. And every year I see another article gifts for the

person manned woman who has everything. If you've got everything, do you really need a gift? Just asking out loud anyway, Christopher Smithman, it is Monday. We hear from Christopher smith on every Monday seven twenty for the former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati and is typically the case. Don't know what's on is mind? Today we get to find out together and I always enjoy the discourse with the former vice mayor, and I hope you do as well.

I always remember fifty five cares dot com and you can't listen live Monday Monday Brian James eighth five is is typically the case. Today we'll talk about inflation and tariffs. Of course, Donald Trump's big guy on tariffs. He keeps wanting to talk about tariffs. How's that going to impact things? The Fed going to adjust the rates according to whether or not tariff's go into place. I've seen a couple

of articles on that. Uh. Brian James commentary on that one, followed by Social Security receipts upset and the cost of living adjustment? Are you upset about the cost of living adjustment? Well, I know the inflation rate's gone through the roof, and I doubt so this is security has kept up with it. But Brian James give us an analysis on that, followed

by how much will Thanksgiving cost you this year? I suppose as much as you want to spend on Thanksgiving, but I know the cost of things has got up. So we'll find out how it impacts the cost of turkey, among other things. Again that begins at eight oh five with Brian James. You can begin at any time you want. If you want to give me a call five one, three, seven, nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three taco with pound five fifty on at and t phones trying

to see it. Yes, coming up. I do have a commercial for fastened Pro and I am pleased to announce I have a future son in law. My daughter got engaged over the weekend. Eric finally popped the question. Uh, and he is a hell of a guy. We're glad we all knew it was gonna happen. I think the only person who wasn't absolutely positive was gonna happen was my daughter because Eric had shown a lot of folks

the ring. In fact, I had a launch appointment. It was a sales lunch appointment with the owners of fast and Pro Ray and Amanda. I said something about if you heard anything about Eric may be getting engaged. He goes, oh, she showed us the ring. It's like he had showed me the ring about a month ago. So anyway, I am a very very very very very happy dad. My wife paulat is very very happy. Apparently Eric's parents also

very happy, so across the board happiness. And I am just so pleased to announce my daughter has a fiance, no longer her boyfriend. It's fiance Eric Hansman, my daughter soon I presume to be Lauren. Not sure when they're going to get married. Don't really care so much about that. I just got the hurdle over with, and again I'm excited for both of them. I really truly am. It's blessing in the Thomas family. So let me just get

that out of my system right now. Anyhow, over fifty five caresy dot com mentioned podcasts Freaking Me Out the Pfizer papers Fizers Crimes against Humanity, a compilation of really in depth, deep dive review of actual Phizer internal documents

that finally came out as a consequence of litigation. That's right, they weren't going to hand these papers out to anybody, but fortunately there's some people that are truly interested in finding out what in the hell that the deal was over at Fwiser in connection with the establishment of in creation of the COVID nineteen vaccine rushed to market and as doctor Nami Wolf pulls it, puts it in the rushed to market in spite of the fact that the

clinical trials Fizer was doing work. I don't want to use the word rig but they overlooked all kinds of different negative health effects that that COVID nineteen vaccine caused and adjusted their internal studies. And h just speaking with doctor Wolf about the content of the book really kind

of wigged me out. And all behind the scenes, you know, or behind the discussion and the I'm just wondering, why why did they rush that out in spite of all of the problems, And doctor Wolf concludes that has something to do with population control nine. I'm always jaded and cynical when it comes to people's conspiracy conclusions in that regard.

But if you look at all the apparently behind the scenes before it came out, very well known problems that women had after getting the COVID nineteen vaccine, you know, you can draw a line from point A to point B on that. So get a copy of the book and get yourself all freaked out if you want. Maybe someone somewhere in a future administration Trump administration might figure out the nefarious realities. Maybe RFK Junior will take a look at this as well. Maybe RFK Junior has read

doctor Nami Wolf's book. Anyway, you can get a copy of that there at fifty five care Sea dot Combrian Morella, her election thoughts, Trump appointments, and still well, lots of controversies swirling about the Trump appointment. So I'm most excited about this doge promising to bring sweeping change to bureaucracy. Viv Grahma swimming along with Elon Musk going to be in charge of this Department of Government Efficiency, which exists outside of government, And they keep going back to the

conversation I had with Judge Neapaul Tano about it. I was excited about it. I brought it up first thing out of the gate, and he's like, Oh, this is just another expansion of government, and no, it's not. These folks are unpaid at least thus far the way it's envisioned. They're outside of government. They're just going to offer their conclusions, their opinions, their thoughts on what needs to be cut.

And the interesting background behind this, the Supreme Court has laid a nice bed for all of these efficiency efforts to actually move forward with because there's been quite a few Supreme Court decisions of late which talked about the overreach of these administrative agencies in creating rules and regulations, basically writing laws behind the scenes and throwing them out

into the world based upon loosely written legislation that's been passed. Nope, got to have a clear, articulated basis to make a regulation. It must exist in the law or you can't do it. Just summing up a multitude of different cases that have come down from the Supreme Court of the past year or two. Anyway, Ramaswami's on Bartaroma Show on Sunday Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiroma, and he said, this cost cutting strategy is going to start with an executive action.

He said, the failures of the executive branch need to be addressed because the dirty little seeker right now is the people we elect to run the government. They're not the ones who actually run the government. It's the unelected bureaucrats and the administrative state that was created through executive action. It's going to be fixed through executive action, and here we go, he said, think about the Supreme Court's environment over the last several years, they've held that many of

those regulations are unconstitutional at a large scale. Those last four words critical at a large scale, he said. Rescind those regulations, pull those REGs back, and then give us the industrial logic to then downsize the size of the administrative state. And the beauty of all this is it going to be achieved through executive action without congress some of the early wins and scurse some early wins, and then you look at the bigger portions of the federal

government need to be addressed one by one. So because you have the legal foundation, and you do now with the Supreme Court's decision narrowing the legitimacy of so many of these regulations that have come out, and I was

wondering on how this would ultimately turn out. Because you have the Supreme Court law the predicate to get rid of all these it's sort of like retroactively going back for the last god knows how many years and getting rid of all of the overreach from the regulatory administrators state because they never had the legal authority to do it in the first place. That's the point of these wonderful cases. This will serve as a supreme board for

an executive action. Look, here's the Supreme Court case. Here's the executive action rolling back all these rags because well, you didn't have the authority to do it. That may not be easy, but it's a great place to start and to like the creativity these guys are bringing forward in order to bring about this change. And he did prejudic pledged to bring what he called sweeping change as

early and quickly as possible. In fact, they want this whole office, this non governmental agency that the two of them are going to head up looking for volunteers. By the way, if you're a prominent business person and you know something about dollars and cents in bottom line and how to run an efficient business, get involved an unpaid position, lots of hard work, but to bring about national exposure

and maybe you'll become a hero to the American public. Anyway, they want this work done to be done though later than July fourth, or twenty twenty sixth, the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the sunning the declaration of Independence. So the sweeping changes, Ramaswami said, the sweeping changes expected to come from initial executive action, laying the groundwork for

Congress then to take meaningful steps in budget reductions. So if you get rid of a lot of the crap with executive orders, there's no need to fund it anymore. You can pair back the size and scope of government spending. And lord knows, I don't think there's anything more important than cutting back government spending. Oh look, the Pentagon failed its seventh straight financial law at one area of government eight hundred and sixty plus billion dollars worth. They can't

even account for where the money went. Something wrong here, boy said, I love the American military. I have tremendous respect for him. But you think there's no fraud, waste, and abuse in the American military. I got a bridge or four. I want to sell you five sixteen right now fifty five care see talk station. Feel free to call in love to hear from if you've got a comment. We will continue after these brief words.

And again I go back to the DOGE Department, and I'm just maybe I have overly high expectations for the work they might be able to accomplish. But US Department of Defense again failed its seventh consecutive financial audit budget eight hundred and twenty four billion dollars. They are unable to account for a lot of the money that they spend. Yeah, back in twenty seventeen, they began their first ever agency

wide financial audit. I stopped at that, and I think, you know what with the billions of dollars that flows into any organization like that, The first time they ever did an audit was twenty seventeen. Anyway, since the initial audit, Pentagon has consistently failed to pass its subsequent audits, the first of which failed any following year twenty eighteen. Out of the twenty eight entities audited this year, only nine

received cleanup opinions. Fifteen received what they called disclaimers That means that they were so disorganized that auditors couldn't even determine the accuracy of their records. Let's say this to serve as an incentive for being disorganized, doesn't it? I mean either in seven audits in a row, there's been

no change being brought about. Hey, just bad. I just screw up the papers so badly that the auditors can't even figure out what's going on when just high behind that one of them received what they called a qualified opinion, which is described as meaning the financial statements were mostly accurate but contained certain issues or exceptions that were not fully compliant with standards. The Idea issued a long winded

nonsense statement, but also which included the following. The Department is firmly committed and is taking actions to achieve an unmodified audit opinion on its financial statements by December thirty first, twenty twenty eight. They just give him four more years and what would that be? Four more audits, then they'll

finally get it right after well. Starting out in twenty seventeen, Pentagon Control and Michael McCord did what he what has described his downplay the audit failure, claiming the process or progress and rejecting the term failure altogether, he said, and I quote, despite the disclaimer of opinion, which was expected, the department has turned a corner in its understanding of the depth and breadth of its challenges.

I do not say we failed, As I said, we have about half clean opinions, about half we have half that are not clean opinions. So you're gonna love this one. If someone had a report card that is these are his words, someone had a report card that is half good good and half not good. I don't know that you call the student or the report card of failure.

what this doge can actually accomplish. So much money going in and out the door that they can't even keep track of it, And I would like to think I'm actually inclined to think they don't even want to keep track of it. Might be rather revealing on where the money goes. And oh, I have a whole lot of stuff this morning to talk about in that regard to it is five twenty five right now, local stories coming up or your phone calls always welcome, stick around.

like Joe Streker's writing. Since the city Council plans discussion motion directing the administration to prioritize mental health care funding for transgender youth. Uh motion brought forward by Counselman Mark Jefferies. Apparently, according to Sharon Coolidge from The enquire reporting on this, has a transgender adult son claiming he is concerned about the mental health of these young people after seeing a barrage of anti transgender political ads and reading a singular

study about high suicide rates among transgender teens. That study, apparently by the Trevor Project, published in the Journal of Nature Human Behavior. Jaell you still getting that one? Oh yeah, of course he is. Paper copies still anyway. According to a Journal of Nature Human Behavior, it concluded that state laws focus on transgender issues have led to an increase of up to seventy two percent. An attempted suicide by transgender and gender non binary youth in just the past year.

Motions set to be discussed at the Council's Budget Finance Committee one pm today. Sitting on signing Jeffrey's motion, Vice Mayor Jean Michelle lemon Kearney and Council of Victoria Parks, Jeffries asked all nine council members all Democrats, to sign, but only two of them did. He said the motion is aimed at finding gaps in funding. Quote. The mental health challenge is faced by transgender and gender non bininary

youth in particular, is especially an urgent issue. By making the mental health and safety services for transgender and gender non binary youth a priority, whether it's by leveraging existing programs and or carving out new ones where needed, is to ensure that this crisis is addressed in an urgent fashion so all children in our city can thrive and live to their fullest potential. Now I speak of everybody's got a list of stuff and things they want government

to fund and deal with. Everybody's got a long list, and there is a long long list. I guess within city Council as well. Joe, do you buy any chance off the top of your head, have any figures on the backlog of roads that need to be repaired in the city of Cincinnati too many? That was the figure that I read as well. Several train cars derailed on Saturday night in Queensgate, record of the since I Fire Department, they were dispatched. The train went into the thirteen hundred

block or West merrig Way around nine pm. Train cars operated by CSX and a whole bunch of folks showed up since St please o Dot Metropolitan Sewer District and as well as the Fire Department. They found eight train cars, which were carrying a shipment of new automobiles derailed. Some of them struck the support columns for the sixth Street Viaduct.

One actually disconnected and fell into the Mill Creek. No hazardous waste materials on the train cars, according to what police told local news WCPO appreciate Martlee Shram and Max Shillen reporting on it. Nobody was injured as well, which is great. ODOT Bridges Spector shut down the sixth Street Viaduct to make sure there were no structural integrity issues. Excuse me, yes, still struggling. Viaduct reopened roughly three hours

after the derailment. Recording the statement, CSX said the trail train car that was in the Mill Creek was recovered, so they said, it's focused on the health and safety and on site staff and personnel mitigating the risk of the environment caused the derailment. Still under investigation. Well, thankfully no hazardous materials. I got some real bright spot in that one thirty two year old man shot and killed

Saturday evening in the East End. According to Sincin Police Department, they showed up at the twenty four hundred block of Callahan Street about six fifteen pm for reports of a person shot. Once got their, officers found Dustin Colvin suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. First responders attempted life saving measures, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. Since they police has not identified any suspects in the shooting, the

investigation is ongoing. However, if you have any information, the police would love you to give him a call. Homicide unit is the number five one, three, three, five, two thirty five forty two. So there's your local stories thus far. It's about five thirty five right now. Got stack of stupid coming up. If you can stick around for that, or feel free to call if you got a subject matter you'd like to talk about. I'd love to hear

about it, so feel free to do that. I'll be right back five thirty nine on a Monday and a half. He one T you I five won three seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three taco tome Fi fifty. If you have an eight and T, phone over to the stack. Oh stupid. Kind of like a stack of gloom and doom here this morning. But here's one that I added to the stack of stupid serves as a nice springboard. This is some of the other conversations we're gonna have this morning, at least some

of the topics I wanted to go on. This is, I think, definitionally speaking, this is bat crap insanity. There's a professor a at least singular in this regard. I'm not quite sure if this is a widespread theory, but the guy is a professor at British University or I'm sorry, woman Catherine, yesaw, she lectures. That's what Breitbard describes as the prestigious Queen Mary University of London. She has determined excuse me and I apologize again for the cough. It's

just lingering. There's not a thing I can do about it. Has declared the subject of geology geology. It's racist. The subject of geology is racist and has been unduly influenced by colonization. She condemned geology as a subject that was riven by systemic or systematic racism. Thank you for the bubbling, bog and stupidity, Joe Stracer, That's exactly what I was thinking about. Study of prehistoric life through fossils also branded as an enabler for racism of the professor referring to

the field of paleontology as pale ontology huh. Dalyr Mail reported that she stated in her book Geologic Life that the extraction of metals like gold and iron has created hierarchies, pushed materialism, ravaged environments, and was the root cause of climate change. Weren't the Incans big on digging up gold, Joe? The Mayans ancient civilizations? Did the Egyptians also use a

lot of gold anyways? Moving on, claiming that geology continues to function within a white supremacist practice, she referenced the theft of land mining and other geological practices having led to the creation of white supremacy and a resulting geo

trauma left undefined. Her new book focuses on geology between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, putting aside all of the geological realities prior to the seventeenth nineteenth centuries anyway, suggesting the notion that non white people have a closer relationship to land than white people. Accord to the Mail Report, broadly, this is what she said, black, brown and indigenous subjects having intimacy with the earth that is unknown to the

structural position of whiteness. Countering this ridiculousness, one person at least, we have one willing to go on record, GIMMI News reports. Chris McGovern, the chairman of the Campaign for Real Education Real Education, dismissed the assertions entirely quote, geology is no more racist than fish and chips. It's an entirely neutral term. Those seeking to decolonize the curriculum are in fact building

their own sinister empire of thought control and intolerance. He pointed out that practices like mining are almost as old as mankind and not race dependent. That's the point I was suggesting earlier when I mentioned the well the Incoans and the Mayans.

while driving a stolen car. Fifty two year old Farbaud Dolat. That's who was identified as the guy driving the car. Cord to the rest report, he drove a rental car listed under a woman's name. Please contacted the woman. She told him that she and the suspect were planning on buying a vehicle, but when she went back to the bank to withdraw the money, he took off in the rental car without her permission. Sarah Son to Caddy Sheriff Saw was confirmed to the Palm Beach Police the vehicle

had been reported stolen. He's now facing charge of the vehicle theft operating a motor vehicle without a valve license. Apparently the least the third person to be arrested at mar A Lago since the summer. You're fine, just people thinking, just drive on in there. Hey, I'm here. That's five forty five fifty five k se DE talk station call Zimmer. Zimmer Heating and air Conditioning taking care of folks for

more than seventy five years, third generation. Wonderful folks at Zimmer Heating and air Conditioning doing a fabulous job and making sure you're home, safe, efficient and comfortable. They'll keep your systems running longer, you know. One of the maintenance programs. They've got a bunch of different programs that they offer.

I think I guess once a year, maybe twice, check the system, make sure it's clean, efficiently running, get ahead of problems that'll extend the life of your air conditioning and your heating unit. But you know what, sometimes they just have ended their useful life. It's over, it's done with. You can't lay hands on it. You need to replace it. And it's a perfect time to do that right now. If it's your air conditioning unit. The folks at Zimmer are now offering a twenty two hundred

dollars cool carrier comfort rebate. That's right, carrier. The folks that invented air conditioning are offering the wonderful opportunity through Zimmer to save a heapload of money.

for it in terms of heating unit. It's but in the meantime, if your existing unit's gone belly up, then Zimmer are the folks that call, and they are always the folks to call when it comes to heating and air conditioning service and repair installation, and the leaders in twenty four hour days, seven day a week emergency service.

and fifty five KRCD talk station. Brian Thomas in front of the stack of stupid phone calls, relays well him from Christopher Smith and at seven and twenty create Keith Desters from the Caro starts now preseeds him talking about a wonderful opportunity to help them gather money to cure a pediatric brain cancer. Someday it's going to happen, and of course it's Monday, so we get money Monday with

Brian James a datoh five. In the meantime, we go to Auckland, New Zealand, where what is described as a randy cuffle a couple little embarrassed they were spotted getting intimate in the middle of a golf course sixteenth hole, specifically the Clarks Beach Golf Club. A jogger described as being so stunned that she took a picture posted the image on face Graham Facebook, rather claiming that she thought the duo might have been cheating on their respective partners.

I don't know how you conclude that, but whatever, sharing the performer, performer, the performance, you can call it performance. I suppose she captioned it. Hey Romeo and Juliet seven fifteen on a Monday, really said she documented the act. I documented the act. A couple appeared to show that they were aware they were not alone, speaking of local news out there the jogger air to concern. She said, I got my phone and just did a quick video,

probably four seconds. But by the time they had stopped moving. I think they were aware of my presence. After my run, I did see a man and a woman like in the distance playing golf, and they looked like they were in their fifties or sixties, so I had a feeling it might have been them, but they weren't making eye contact with me. If there's some way you can work the mulligan into that one, maybe it'll suffice to just

read the headline on this one. I suppose headline. You'd be do a phrasing if people exactly what the headline said, Joe headline, I spent twelve hundred pounds getting my penis tattooed. Now I can't have sex there. You go better late than never, you know. It's strange about that. It's the article itself happens to be like four pages long, and I'm reminded of my own son, But why are you doing that? Okay? Residents of a Scottish town woke up to police outside of home after I heard of cows

took over the street. Police called the Hillford Road in the historic town of Ayr after five cows spotted grazing in the gardens. Animals left residence baffled after they were first seen around eight thirty in the morning when a neighbor sharing a photo online. Police car and a van can be seen parked along the street and cows behaving themselves in the clip, with the animals just calmly standing by the driveway of the property. Eventually, the police helped

bring the wandering farm animals back home. That's about it. That's the extent of that one. They talk about instances that happened earlier in the year where herds of Coyle's escaped from their fields before being well handed over to animal rescues rescue crews. Some stacks stupid stories are better than other. Oh, this is a twisted one. A Georgia mother of three who killed her two little boys by placing them in an oven and turning them turning it on will now be spending the rest of for life

in bars. According with Judge Atlanta ruling on Friday, Lamora Williams twenty four convicted of a whole bunch of crimes, including to count some murder, for the twenty seventeen deaths of her sons, ages one and two, who were killed roughly an hour apart. The woman had called nine to one one on the same day. Quote when I came in, the stove was laying on my son, my my youngest son's head, and my other son was laid out on the floor with his brains laid out on the floor.

That's what she said to the dispatcher. I don't know what to do. I just came home from work bad. Then in February twenty eighteen, she was indicted on four counts of fell and the murdered, two counts and murdered, two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of concealing the deaths of another, and one kind of making false statement.

Later charged with two counts of cruelty to children in the first degree, one kind of cruelty to children in d second degree, one additional kind of aggravated assault, one kind of obstruction of law enforcement officer, and one kind of battery resulting in substantial physical harm. Defendant tol poolice she left all three of her children at home with the caregiver from noon until eleven thirty pm in the day,

and returned home to find that they had died. Caregiver was gone sometime between midnight on October twelfth, twenty seventeen, and eleven pm the next day today. She quote knowingly and intentionally killed the two toddlers by placing them in and oven and turning it on. That's according to the rest warrant issued by the Atlanta Police Department. Autopsy reports revealed the boys heads were stuck in a tipped over oven. Medical examiner disagree with the police claims that the children

had been burned. These thermal changes appear to be entirely from dry heat and changes from prolonged exposure to heat. According to the medical examiner, it would require an extensive amount of time to get to this degree. She Prosecutors stuck by the police department's version of the evidence, contact of the defendant's narrative to jurors minds, and according to the court room report, the boy's father also called nine one one roughly the same times William hesitant to give

the dispatcher her address. Father described the video call in comments to Atlanta based ABC there, calling it a real horror movie like Friday the thirteenth. She was convicted of fourteen counts against her, quickly sentenced to a life term in prison without the possibility of parol, on top of which an additional thirty five years. Well, I one may argue justice was at least served in that one. What

a horrific, horrific reality. Anyhow, I'm usually looking for a little more humor than that, but what can you say. It is a Monday. Let's move on to different topics coming up off top of the hour. Look forward to hearing from you. You got a lot to go through, including how is it that Biden has now allowed or approved Ukraine's use of long range missiles inside Russia. I don't think the election had anything to do with that. Stick around. I'll be right back after the news.

all cancers. And there's been wonderful, wonderful inroads in a cancer research thanks to the wonderful work of every single human being who's contributed to the cure starts now and Keith's gonna be talking about a sort of get ahead of you know, Black Monday or Black Fridays sales and all that, by trying to get people to think about, you know, contributing to charities ahead of time, make your little contribution before the spending begins on gifts and stuff.

So that's the method they're going with this year. Kei's gonna explain all that to us coming up in an hour. Looking forward to having him back on the program. Just a wonderful, wonderful man. He and his wife, of course, had to deal with the ultimate challenge, the loss of a child to geoblastoma, pediatric brain cancer many years ago. But they didn't just cry about it and wallow and misery, and they started the care starts now on millions and

millions of dollars. It is now a global organization, so a great thing to be affiliated with them, and I appreciate the opportunity to do so. So an hour ahead of time with Keith, followed by seven twenty Christopher Smith and former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati with the Smith Event. We're gonna hear in two hours Monday, Monday,

Brian James. We'll talk about inflation and tariffs, social Security recipients a little upset about their cost of living adjustment and how much is Thanksgiving going to cost you this year? It depends on who's coming over the house right anyway, we'll talk about that with Brian James. Love to talk to you if you want to call. I'd certainly appreciated.

Get me out of this lingering ongoing and probably will never go away cough I'm dealing with, but also another I'm gonna put a plug in because I'm such a happy, happy man. My wife and are extremely happy. Yes, is my daughter has gotten engaged got engaged over the weekend. So there I said it out loud again. I'm proud, I'm happy, everybody's happy. It's great looking forward to having Eric part of the family. Officially feels like he's already a member of our family right now, but soon to be.

I presume, Lauren Hansman. We really adore Eric. He's a good man, and everybody's happy when they're on their side of the family as well, which is a good thing. You don't want to start off on the wrong foot on something like that. Anyway. I mentioned at the outset of the morning show this morning by Viva Gramma Swimming being on FNC Sunday Morning Futures talking about this new DOGE Department of Government efficiency, and I hope I'm not

overly optimistic about what they can accomplish. But he, along with Elon Musk, are going to be you know, pirting this non governmental organization. No, it's not going to cost you anything. This is apparently all volunteer work, and they're going to start cutting and they're going to start with executive orders. Executive orders predicated on Supreme Court decisions which have already ruled that so much of the regulatory state that's in place right now, is illegal, was extra constitutional,

was beyond the law. So you start there and you go backward, and you look in and do it a deep dive analysis of all the regulations exceeded the scope of whatever legislation they sprung from, and a tremendous amount of work can be accomplished along those lines. And of course,

pivoting over to Congress, Republicans, you're in control. Now, let's start cutting spending, said, over the last forty years, even conservatives, we talked a big game for forty years about cutting the federal government, about reducing the scope of the federal government. Politicians haven't been able to do it, stating the obvious, and so Elon and I were not politicians, were businessmen. Were coming at it from the outside. Sometimes if you go inside, you become native to this system. Said, I

applaud Trump or setting this up for success. But I come back to the principle in the early months, score quick wins through executive action, show it can be done, and then I think will lay the groundwork for Congress to have the UH to take the meaningful steps for the future. A lot of these discussions are theoretical to do cut different entitlement programs or whatever. Let's just start with the fact that there is massive waste, fraud and

abuse right now. Federal contractors are really exploiting the federal government. You could take the haircuts across the board and there will be no worse off for it. Well, and that goes back to the article I read about the Pentagon failing it's seventh straight financial audit, seven in a row. Looking at this since twenty seventeen, they haven't passed a single one. Oh, blah blah. But it's okay, Well, we'll be able to get it all cleaned up by twenty

twenty eight. Just give us four more years. She's got two words for you, and it ain't happy birthday. As dad he used to say. You heard about some of the of the Trump's picks for hadding up the various agencies, and some folks are a little upset about Pete Hegzeth and it really kind of irks me quite frankly. The man served. He's a veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, but he is always mentioned as being a Fox News commentator. First, no,

that's not what qualifies him for the job. And you can argue he's not qualified when we talk all day long about that versus someone else who has military experience. But his Fox News commentary is irrelevant but nonetheless across the board Fox News commentator, oh and parenthetically veteran of

the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Anyway, you got a little insight into what he's planning on doing, hmmm, most notably undoing the Diversity Equity inclusion the DEEI and all the training that goes along that within the military, which has been put in place of actual military training, you know, teaching people how to break stuff and kill people. I always like to boil down the reality of the military is that what do you want your military to do?

Win wars? Win wars involves what killing people in breaking things strategically. Anyway, back in late August, Trump said that if you want to have a sex change or a social justice seminar, then you can do it somewhere else. You're not going to do it in the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, Base, Force, the United States Marine. Sorry, military brass that led to these absurd and insulting initiatives will likewise be removed and they will no longer be

in command. They're going to be gone, gone so fast. That was Trump backing it up. He appoints or wants to a point exet exact. Last week, said on The Sean Ryan Show, Well, first of all, you got a fire. You know, you got to fire the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, any general that was involved, general, admiral, whatever, that was involved in any of the dee I woke,

woke s word, it's got to go. He wrote a book, The War on Warriors, in which he said, our generals are not ready for this moment in history, not even close. The next president of the United States need to radically overhaul the Pentagon's senior leadership to make us ready to defend our nation and defeat our enemies. Lots of people need to be fired. You note that at the Pentagon you can fire generals, unlike say the CIA or Department of Justice, where it's hard to fire senior officials because

they're protected. According to Representative Chris Stewart, who's also been working on the transition team for the Department of Defense, they're considering draft executive order establishing a Warrior Board that'd be retired military personnel. They have power to review the various leaders of the American military and figure out whether they're unfit for leadership or not, then make recommendations over the president. Much inke that Doge, she's going to make

recommendations of the president on where to cut idea. Pentagon requested funding to the tune of Fox News reporting one hundred and fourteen million dollars for DEI initiatives last year or this calendar year to be used for programs and initiatives aimed at furthering DEIA and incorporating DEIA values, objectives and considerations and how we do business and execute our missions. Okay, let's just put yourself in a position of Ukrainian soldier

fighting on the front lines against the Russians. They're worried about where they're amos coming from. I'm sure the Russians feel kind of the same way, whether they're going to see their families again. Do you think any of them are thinking about diversity, equity inclusion and do the extent they're equity hires among the front lines. Maybe they're just equity hires and they're not trained to be the most

efficient fighting folks anywhere. Isn't that what you want in his book, Hezeth row DEI amplifies differences, creates grievances, and excludes anyone who won't bow down to the cultural Marxist revolution ripping through the Pentagon. Forget DEI the acronym. The acronym should be d I E or ied. It will kill our military worse than any Ied ever could. He went on, the left isn't just interested in purging Trump supporters. Their ideology is based on marginalizing whatever's normal because they

think normal is always oppressive. By their logic, the military runs on the most normal and most oppressive things of all strong men. Just being a guy who hits the gym means you're oppressing everyone around you. He also said a big reason for fewer training accidents, which apparently there are it is because of less training, more time than ever being spent on social justice, PowerPoint moralizing and meeting those metrics in today's military is the most important standard

to meet. Every unit knows that social justice, transgender, woke training is the top priority. Not doing this training or not doing it properly, we'll get a commander or a junior leader fired. Not doing real field training become secondary.

His words, So I like that, considering he well is a venter of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, did a pretty good job in the American military, is seen at firsthand, and in spite of the fact that he's Vox News contributor, I think the guy's got some right ideas, at least in so far as how to reform the military back to well a well oiled fighting machine to protect them America's interest six seventeen.

But let's first get to Rick's call. Hey, Rick, thanks for calling this morning.

It has nothing to do with what was originally contemplated by the environmental legislation ergo, it is not valid that is in place right now. So funny going forward basis. See, this is where the retroactive look comes from the Doge group Elon Musk Vive Gramma swimming making executive order suggestions because that is the law now. So look, we've taken to look at all these different administrations, all or these different pieces of legislation and the rules and REGs that

sprung from them. And here is the entire list, volumes, thousands of pages of regulations that were way beyond the pale, and their ergo have been deemed by the Supreme Court to be unlawful, illegal, beyond the scope of the legislation, outside of their power eradicate all of them. You can go back decades and do that. The world will be a completely different place if they're successful with this an

absolutely completely different places. And so to undo the eradication of those rules which exceeded the authority, the Congress would have to go back and enact legislation that specifically provides for those agency rules and REGs. And I don't see a Republican administration doing that. So we could be free of a substantial regulatory burden on a going forward basis. If they stick to their guns and the principles that

they've outlined, it's going to be a beautiful thing. Feel free to call five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight to two three talk Fasten pro Roofing.

And the good thing about that book, first question out of the gate to her was the source materials that comprise that book came directly from Peiser's own records as a consequence of litigation requests for information FO you and otherwise. Litigation resulted the Infeiser being forced to disclose all of the research they did leading up to the COVID nineteen vaccine. And it will freak you out. I mean, just listen

to the podcast. You don't have to believe me. Look at the researchers who did all the work it comprised the book that she put together. She's like the editor of the book. She didn't draft it herself, but this is again source material from Pfiser, just scary and her conclusions are really what is the most scary about everything in there? So that's one podcast you should really check into.

My friend Maureen suggest that that should be on the short list for best of shows down the road when I'm taking time off or I'm otherwise sick anyhow, and everybody's got a list. Announcement they've been coming ever since. The Trump you know, transition team has announced this Department of Government Efficiency to be headed up by Elon Musk and Viva Gramma Swaman. I know I'm talking a lot

about it this morning, but I'm excited about that. We need to cut the spending and government and all the fraud, wasted abuse is just overwhelming. So let's go to the Daily Caller for their list, because everybody's got one.

one thousand stacks of one billion dollars. Each billion dollars represents the stack of one thousand million dollars. It's a lot of money, and that's well. Improper payments. Improper payments, defined by our federal government, is any disbursement made by the government to the wrong person, in the wrong amount

or for the wrong reason. Let's point out regular examples of improper playments includes erroneous payments made through Medicaid and medicare, misallocated COVID nineteen eight, benefits paid to dead people, and taxpayer funds to lost lost to fraud. Large sums of improper payments are not a problem unique to the Biden Harris administration, of course, go back to the Trump administration. The government disclosed eight hundred and fourteen billion dollars in

inflation adjusted improper payments. You know this could only come about and the government is so huge and so ridiculously large, that there's no way in God's green Earth that can account for all the money that's flowing out the door again. Going back to the story, I started a morning show with the pentagons, failed at seventh audit with a promise that they'll get it right by twenty twenty eight seventh

straight financial audit. Anyhow, you can recover some of these the Biden Harrison administration of the close to one trilling that will be paid out over the current over the four year term, they recovered about fifty one billion dollars that of the two hundred and thirty five point seven billion that it erroneously paid out, and just calending your twenty twenty three tax dollars funding LGP activism abroad, get a load of some of the money that you and

I are working each and every day to pay for. Spokesman for the State Department they previously told explain that promoting LGBT inclusion in other countries is a foreign policy

priority of the current administration. Under Biden, the State Department, as well as the United States Agency for International Development USA have spent millions of dollars working to fund transgender surgeries, bankroll LGBTQ activists, and engage pro transgender I guess social engineering not in our country, although they're doing it here,

but in other country. Court of Reporting USA gave two million dollars to Associacion Lambda, which is a Guatemalan based organization to engage in pro LGBT activism and provide people with gender affirming care. This organization attempts to influence elections

in Guatemala and meets with government officials to engage in advocacy. Meanwhile, State Department funded the production of Again in This One funded a production of a play in North Macedonia where the play features God as a bisexual that has constant sex with Hermaphrodeitic, angels and communists are painted in a positive light. I can only read what's written, folks in another time, in another place, I would have called a giant barber streiss and flag on that description. But you

know where we are these days. He thanks Jo being your researcher with a heritage foundation, a more conservative organization. Simon Hankinson wrote and report a couple of years ago. Americans are far from agreeing on how to deal with race, sex and gender, and schools and workplaces that would be Americans. Even when the US national consensus is there, Restraint is always necessary and attempting to convince other nations that one's own values should be theirs, like, for example, US trying

to oppose these particular values LGBTQ plus IA whatever on. Oh, I don't know Muslim countries who don't agree to or abide by the idea that it's even appropriate behavior. And yet we spend a whole bunch of money alienating those nations and alienating their citizenry from the United States, who they look upon as completely batcrap and saying, now you've got a finite amount of money and you're trying to

curry favor with other nations. Do you really want to try and change their culture that radically when they do not abide. That's what's going on going on. That's the point of his comment of the Heritage Foundation. So, I mean, I could go on for hours and hours on this. There's a couple of illustrations that the Daily Caller pulled out. Bobby's on the phone, Bobby, hang on, I'll get you

your call just a second. I want to mention John Ryan pressed Ees interiores because if you want your kitchen done right, you want John on your side or at your side for your kitchen and modeling project.

American Americans can provide. Meaning we are directly involved in direct warfare with the Russians, including launching missiles deep into Russian territory.

some other Russian troops. Is fifty thousand troops that Russia has amassed ten thousand soldiers from North Korea, and they're outside of the range of I guess what Ukraine has been using. So you got access to these longer range missiles. They're saying that they could then attack those particular forces. But astute observers pointed out that well, these Attakams surface the service missiles strike between one hundred and hundred and

ninety miles away. Russia can simply move most of its war material further away in many cases has already done so. So maybe well we'll hold we'll hold back authority to use them until the Russians get the idea that we're going to allow authority for the Ukrainians to use them, and by that time they'll have moved everybody out of the area that could be impacted them impacted by them rendering them. Well, I guess pointless. I don't know nothing in this entire conflict. It makes any sense to me.

Six fifty six fifty five Krsity talk station. Tomorrow we'll get the deep dive with Daniel Davis. I feel pretty certain that Daniel Davis will offer some of his personal insight into that retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis.

Then former Vice Mayor Christopher Smithman with the smith Event at seven twenty.

been one of the true blessings of this job. And for almost as long as I've been on radio, one of the organizations that I've been trying to spread news about is the Cure Starts Now. I was so inspired when I first met Keith and Brooke Desrich and they're obviously very sad. Tale that started the Cure Starts Now,

which has just been a wonderful organization. They lost their daughter to pediatric brain cancer, and you know, as many people do, you can wallow in misery and you can you know, just sit back and say, oh God help me a bad hand and woe is me, or you can learn from it and decide you're going to do something about it. And that was what the inspiring thing about it was. They learned, you know, they dealt with their tragedy and they still deal with it to this day.

But what a wonderful outcome after so many years. The Cure Starts Now going strong is now a global operation thanks to folks like my listeners who help out and contribute and participate and this strong community that they've created. Keith Destertz, Welcome back to the Morning Show, my friend. It's a real pleasure having you on to talk about the giving first campaign he got going on right now.

You know, if sus squad and struggle in the world to try to find something that's going to be in some way, shape or form meaningful to someone who's got everything, or at least you perceive and was having it, how about a charitable gift in their name. I think that, to me is the ideal kind of gift where someone doesn't really need anything.

anywhere else we are talking about. We just we just had a grant. We affectionately called it our uh uh b f G project, and certainly that.

do storytelling. It's kind of a telethon, but more importantly, it's stories of promise, of hope, and of great research that we're going to hope to inspire people to get involved. Well.

of funding, but your survival ray. With breast cancers a lot longer, getting longer every year, of course, but at least there was time to do clinical trials and focus on that. You know, with pediatric brain cancer, you know, by the time you get some child into some sort of treatment product, if there is any, you know that their time is up. So it has never been the

focus of much funding. You've actually transformed that whole dynamic, coupled with the idea that you're one of the only organizations that I'm aware of in terms of cancer research that has coordinated cancer researchers from around the globe to share research and come up with something that maybe even far transcends pediatric brain cancer. The home run cure.

although we up to ninety percent. And if you're presented with those options, certainly you take them because it gives you some hope, It even gives you some odds with it. But the type of cancers that we're dealing with are cancers where they come to you and said, there's nothing and you're going to die from this. And so what happens is is these families, and sadly enough for our children, sometimes are forced to try things that.

You know, we would talk about hope eighteen years ago. We would talk about it even up to fifteen years ago. Now for the first time, we actually have some brand new things that no one has ever done, and it's it's strategies that are being used in every cancer out there, and they're being used worldwide.

even Japan. We just opened up a Japanese chapter this past week. And what we're trying to do is we're trying to unify a world to be able to finally beat cancer.

up there again today, Today's today. Check it out, and please you know, five bucks, ten bucks, you got one thousand dollars, maybe a company out there once the done, eight, ten, twenty, they'll take whatever you can throw their way and it will be put to the best possible use. Keith, God bless you.

go to fifty five kresy dot com. I can't remember that, Keith, looking forward to some positive results on the fundraiser today.

In tradition, it is gonna be fixed at foreign exchange with a full warranty on parts and service for less money, less money, less money. I love saving money across the board.

and he brutally murdered her. It sent a message to all Americans. It didn't matter whether you were black or white, or Latino or Asian. It was about your family, your daughters. And that could have been me and my situation. And people in Georgia, some of them suburban white women, were thinking most likely the southern border, so far away from me. This has nothing to do with me, and it has something to do with all of us that we have these types of people in our country who are praying

on Americans like this, like what we're listening to. And even though Lake and Riley and no one should forget her name, she fought for her life and her devices that she had as a runner, because I was a long distance runner, that she had really showed her entire struggle in that fight for eighteen minutes when her heart ultimately stopped. Every parent in the United States of America could see themselves in that situation and never wanted it

to happen to our babies. And so this election was everything about in Georgia, the Lake and Riley case, and it was one of the reasons President Trump wore in that state.

and we all know this has happened. It's been well documented, literally emptied their prisons. This is not the first time it's happened under Biden's watch. It's happened to the prior administrations too. You know, the Cubans could overwhelm, empty the prisons, send them to Florida. It's you're going to get the worst of the worst, especially if a government is helping facilitate the transfer of those evil people from their country into the United States.

laws of this country. And so whether it's New York or whether it's California, I'm suggesting to every American, this is our business no matter your political persuasion. It doesn't matter whether you're a Democrat or Republican or an independent. Can't we just agree that having people in our country illegally who are murderers and rapists and thieves that came from the prisons that you're talking about, that they should

be removed from our country and sit back. Can't we just agree with that basic point in honor and attribute to the life of Lake and Riley Well.

they brought back Donald Trump. Evil Orange Man. Will continue with Christopher smith Aman in one more discussion after I break for a pause for Susette Loew's camp.

thirty five years, like probably thirty six now. But she's the sweet as she can be, very wonderful at customer service, knows everything there is and will help you quickly. That's right, thanks to my daughter now engaged, I get to throw that in there again. I'm so happy. First she got engaged over the weekend, so she and Eric are now engaged, me married. But she helped them get their house. They are so happy in it. It's just the beautiful thing

to behold. And just a couple of days of working with Suzette secured financing for those young people, and I thought it was great. She took my advice. My daughter even listens to me, and I recommend you did too, because she's licensed in all fifty states being with Cross Country Mortgage including Puerto Rico, no junk fees, no application fees,

cancer so many families. I happened to be come by a fundraiser yesterday for a young lady by the name of Elise Vndermeyer, and she has Hopskin's lymphomia foma stage four in her early thirties, two young children, and the community at Jim and Jack's on the River here on the west side of town really came together just extended love and support for her and her children, and her

husband and her family. And so I was just listening riveting your last guest talking about how cancer is impacting all of us and how we have to continue to raise money in order to turn back and get better care, better research for those who are suffering. So it was a touching and emotional interview that I was listening to early and I want to thank you for it.

Christopher Smithman, go ahead, well you.

to do with Wooby Goldberg. It had nothing to do with her politics, It had nothing to do with her race, it had nothing to do with her gender. We were just a business that was struggling, and when she made the order, we couldn't meet it, and so for her.

six year old business. But by the way, if boomerang not only on her, if boomerang not only on their on their show The View, but it enhanced the profile of a bakery that you and I would not have even known about if we didn't live on the East, on the East Coast. And so the problem with all of this victimization, meaning this is an example of someone who just bathes in being a victim. They walk around every day thinking somebody is out to get me. And

so no one was out to get Woopy Goldberg. This was a business that was having a problem, and she decided she was going to go on National TV and attempt to destroy them, to smash them like a fly using her profile to come down hard, and it just blew up in her face.

through their vice presidential candidate, the KKK. How do you think it made the Lake and Riley community feel? They talk about Trump being hitler, they've called the most recent appointments white supremacists, and now Whoopi Goldberg says they're after me because of my political views. As I try to buy some dessert, I'm saying, shame on this. On the on the on the mainstream media, they still have it wrong and they still have not learned their lessons from the last two years.

this is terrible. I quit you needed to endorse Kamala Harris, and the owner said, no, We're gonna start trying to take a more fair and balance approach to news these days, because clearly the election reflected that in spite of the drum beat over the past seven years, eight years, however long, they've been beating the crap out of Donald Trump, which has been day one since he threw his hat in the ring to become president. They have been wailing on

that guy. Obviously it had well, it had an impact. Perhaps in twenty twenty some people can test the outcome of the election. I'm not one, just let it go. But look how badly Trump beat Kamala Harris and the Democrats across the board in this election in spite of the constant drumbeat and kinda in spite of the crucifixag crucifixion of Donald Trump at a daily basis hitler, fascist, xenophobe hubbub, he kicked the living hell out of him and won the popular boat by like five million people.

They've really been kicked back on their heels. So to the Whoopie Goldberg's of the world and the New York Times of the world, and to the other press out there in the mainstream media on television, do you think they're going to realize the eirr of their ways, that we the American people, are not as dumb as they take us to be, or are they going to stick to their current script.

They don't understand that people are hurting out here and they are tired of being demonized because they say things like listen, I support the LGBTQ plus community, but I don't want a dude in the swimming pool with my daughter. That doesn't make people ridiculous who live in Prebo County in our state are someone who lives in the suburbs of California. People are tired of all of the identity politics, and we want to get together and solve the problems

in America, the border, inflation, right housing issues. And they got tired of watching people go, guess what, We're going to put you up in a hotel. You came here illegally, but we don't have any money for people in North Carolina outside of seven hundred and fifty dollars. We were going through a hurricane and the White House said our solution for you at the beginning was seven hundred and

fifty dollars. My point to you is if anybody did not see you at the UFC walk in by by Trump and watch the mainstream media today who won't even cover the Lake and Riley of cover. They're not even covering what's happening in that courtroom, with that, with that American family whose daughter was murdered by somebody who shouldn't have been here, who was released in New York and

came and created hell upon a Georgia resident. I'm saying to you, to everybody here, we should be demanding that MSNBC, that CNN, that ABC, that NBC, that all of them should be showing the Lake and Riley a court case, just like they did when they when they were showing other high profile court cases around the world. I'm just saying to you, Brian, I'm tired of it.

country is about. It's about coming together, no matter your race, no matter your gender, no matter where you live, and just support people. And that's where I stopped through at Jim and Jack's and said, hey, I experienced this. My wide died of breast cancer, and even though she wasn't a survivor, we're gonna make you a survivor. We're gonna make you, Brian Thomas, a survivor. We're gonna make anybody listening today who's laying in their bed saying I don't have hope.

Let's hear about traffic conditions from Chuck Ingram from the UCL Traffic Center.

could be weeks and I'm hoping it's not. Let's see if Top of the Air news is gonna hear from Money Mondy's Brian James, inflation tariffs, how social Security recipients are apparently upset about their cost of living adjustments, and how much is Thanksgiving gonna cost you this year? Tomorrow? I am very much. I always look forward to Tuesdays

because of the inside scoop with Bright Barton News. But given the developments going on between Ukraine and Russia, and just Russia independent of the war with Ukraine, I see they shut off the gas to Austria. They have limited their exports of enriched uranium to the United States, which think about that concept. We have to rely on the Russians for enriched uranium. Apparently Russia if had no details or timeline off for its uranium export restrictions. The announcement

was on Friday. Russian continues apparently leveraging energy as a geopolitical tool and then pointing out to Austria. Austria actually won a court battle, which is why they didn't pay the Russians for the current supply of natural gas. They were awarded like two hundred and fifty million dollars or something. So rather than you know, I guess, try to go after Russia to get that money, they just said, well, well, what does not pay you for what's coming in now?

Until we reached the amount of the settlement or of the legal resolution, they just shut them off. But that we have to rely on Russia for US enriched uranium. It's just it's mind boggling. This on the cusp of what appears to be an opening to the whole concept of nuclear plants being opened more readily in the United States of America. It's an interesting quirk to that reality, isn't it just in time? So supporting the Russian and the build up of their military and apparently the Russians.

Russians ongoing war against Ukraine, doing so with American dollars, at least up until recently when they suspended the enrich uranium production. Crazy, impossible to understand world in which we live. Let's try to understand money matters. After the top of the our news money money with Brian James coming right up. Ever changing world. There's one constance you can depend on. Fifty five krc the talk station.

this this Monday. So just had you and her and everybody, well, thank you man. He's a good kid and they seem to be a great team, which is really inspirational to everybody. All Right, inflation tariffs. We know Donald Trump's president elect, and he's been talking tariffs for a long time. I read the Wall Street Journal every single day of my life, and you get some Some are saying terrible ideas. Some are saying maybe not a bad idea. Got to be

delicate about it. There's some upsides, there's some downsides. It seems like opinions are like sphincter's. Everybody's got one, but inflation and tariff's number one on the topic list for you, Brian James, what's your take on all this? We don't even really know quite where the tariffs are going to be imposed yet, do we Brian Hell's bells? Can you try to get him back there? Joe don't know how to get him back. I don't know how the system operates.

Looks like Joe's cursing. I can't hear what's coming out of his mouth. It's not shocking at all. Regard anyway. President elect Donald Trump has promised manufacturing renaissance. Checking out the USA Today reporting on this when he gets back, pledging terraces to bolster companies and make products in the United States, drive up prices for imported goods to make

America make products more appealing. And you can see how this could have a negative repercussions because it's inexpensive to manufacturer stuff in China, which is why everything went to China. They don't have OSHA, they don't have EPA, they don't have obligations for the well global warming problems. They have inexpensive energy. They build coal plants every day while we cut our throats and cut back on our abundant, inexpensive energy. It doesn't make any damn set what Oh, Brian you back,

I'm here, you there, I can hear you. Now go ahead, and I was just diving into the article that you on this tariff issue. I'm not quite sure where we are on this. What's your take on the concept of tariffs and basically, how can can we terrify ourselves into a competitive playing field, because I was just going on over all the reasons all the manufacturing appears to have

moved to China over the years. Well, they don't have minimum waves, they don't have OSHA, they don't have EPA, they have abundant cheap energy, they have coal plants churning out, belching out in carbon, and they don't seem to care about it. The global warming. People don't seem to tear about it when they do it, But if Western European countries do it, then they care about it, and we get spanked and ridiculed and are told to cut our

throats in the name of saving the globe. So can you create a competitive environment through tariffs?

other countries. So these are if you boil this down to the most basic elements, putting tariffs on something raises the price of creating it and shipping it out. So manufacturers aren't going to generally stand around and simply take that. They're going to pass the prices. On matter of fact, we've heard directly from Stanley Black and Decker and AutoZone and some other major manufacturers who have just said they're going to be they're planning on passing these onto customers.

So whatever the outcome here is, it's hard to see that this is not an inflationary type of environment. Maybe over the longer haul, I think that the best possible outcome over a very long period of time is that this force is manufacturing to come back home and perhaps creates more jobs and so on and so forth, But we are not looking at here is a method to produce prices overall. So this is not something that's going to battle in place. And that's a whole different approach.

the United States. First off, you've got to have you have the the operation, the manufacturing facility built, because we don't have those anymore. You need to employ Americans that probably pretty expensive, maybe even union level jobs. You've got the problem with electricity being more and more expensive because of the blank and green environment that we have shoved down our throw so that the Chinese don't have to

deal with. Wouldn't we be better off with a drill that costs you know, twenty percent more or one hundred percent more coming from China still save more money than if it was even manufactured here, because something suggests that we can't compete even if you throw tariffs on there.

you know that would be manufactured here. Something tells me that the consumer is still going to be paying more no matter what, because in that case, an American based manufacturer can simply write raise their own prices to fill up that gap, but still leave it just shy of the cost of the Chinese drill, which gives them the ability to waive the American flag and say, look, it's cheaper to buy here, when at the end of the day,

the consumer is still paying more either way. Because remember, at the at the end of the day of the decision makers at any publicly traded company, their duties lie to their shareholders, not their customers. Right, so if the market permits them to charge more, they will do so.

were kept in place by the Biden administration. So at the end of the day, when we look at the equation that has created the inflationary environment we're in now, we can't ignore the fact that we've already tried this before. Tariffs do not battle inflation. They cause inflation. That's a that's a different fight. We're trying to bring work and jobs back on shore. But this is something that's going to make inflation worse before it coul better well.

they're going to make it there. They're not beholden to the United States of America in a patriotic way, like if you go back and look at the old Soviet Union versus the United States days when there was actually patriotism in the air, that seems to have dissipated.

the benefit of profit margin. And if that means they need to pull up the ten stakes and move to some other country based on a more favorable tax environment or some kind of inflationary environment or natural resources being president or whatever, that's what they're gonna do.

Truly a lifesaver. And that's something that I don't even know if the Chimneycare fireplaces stuff cells, but they would certainly recommend it. Beyond that, they can check your chimneys and fireplaces for safety. They did it at my house. I had to take out the old insert that the builder put in because it was a fire hazard. That's what an inspection can reveal. I'm glad now I can safely and confidently and comfortably turn my fireplace on any time I want, and it's awesome. The insert that I

got is all remote control, total first world. You know, flame adjustments and lighting adjustments and the venting adjustments and how much heat you bring into the room, all fully adjustable. One of the options you got with the Chimneycare Fireplaces stove. They have a multitude of fireplace inserts. They even have self feeding wood waste pellet stove inserts for your typical fireplace free standing stoves. They have those as well. Everything

Care about this all the time, the

cost of living adjustment for Social Security. I guess every year and some years it's okay, and some years better than others. And I don't know what what indicator they base the cost of living on, Brian, because sometimes the inflation indicators take out things like food and gasoline, which impact literally every American. But this year, apparently seniors are not real thrilled with the two and a half percent increase, averaging about fifty bucks a month for the normal average recipient,

not quite enough to cover the grocery bill. Brian, Right, So this year.

a half percent, and a little bit of history. I think we might have gotten maybe a little bit addicted to the most recent increases. So twenty twenty four was three point two percent, and then the whopper was twenty twenty three, where we hit eight point seven percent of pay increases for the character recipients. Yeah, so I think we're kind of back to quote unquote and whatever normal is. We're back to what we usually see. Maybe I'll praise

it that way. And I think you're right that because I hear my own clients and talking about their parents in the inflation rates on the increases in so security don't quite cover without the increases and actual prices are.

It's simply based on off of CPI, and there have been movements Brian to talk about moving that to something called the CPIE, which is the Consumer Price Index for the Elderly, which, as you might expect, it focuses more on the categories that are significant for seniors, and that's healthcare, housing,

and prescription drugs, things like that. Now, unfortunately this has been kicked around in Congress a few times, and it was last discussed though February of twenty twenty three as part of the Fair Coola Act, which the House Ways and Means brought it on the floor, talked about it and said, hey, let's send it to a committee, and the committee promptly did nothing with it. We haven't discussed it since, so I think one of the hard cells of this is Social Security, as you and I discussed

every now and then, is not budgeted for. It's something out.

I circled housing because if you came up with a better plan for the cost of living adjustments within Social Security and ignoring the budgetary implications, how can you deal with a housing market that has blown up in terms of the value of real estate, which has had an obviously corollary impact on real estate taxes? And I hear this all the time. Seniors cannot handle a thirty percent increase in the price of real estate taxes. Social Security

can't do anything about that because that's all local. It's all very different state to state. I mean, that's an impossibility, right there, isn't it.

Housing prices incidentally up about a half a percent in month over month in October twenty four, four point nine percent year over year, so we're still seeing these issues despite you know what we have heard about, you know, the economy being having a lot of issues and maybe that will slow things down, but it just simply hasn't happened. Even mortgage rates being higher than they've been in twenty twenty five years have has not done anything to slow

it down. So, yeah, this does hit seniors pretty quickly. Again, yes, you're referring to property taxes, but that's the same idea. As long as there's demand, there will be higher property taxes. Localities will have to consider do we want to continue to have send that money toward the you know, the most of them send those dollars toward the education programs they have in place, but perhaps in the future there'll have to be some rethinking of.

get started. For these coming generations, I would say, including my own, I'm gen x are, our retirement success is going to rely a lot, a lot more on our own savings than that of our predecessors.

services and putting it in your retirement account. I mean, seriously, if you're going to spend three thousand dollars to get an MRI or a CT scan at a hospital and you end up saving that amount, ask my friend Jeff thirty one hundred dollars savings by getting an MRI or a CT scan rather at affordable imaging services. That was real money was gonna come out of his real pocket. That's like found money. So take it and put it

away or do whatever you want with it. The point being you can save that kind of money at affordable imaging services. The overhead is really really low, not going to exaggerate it's low overhead. But they have the same kind of equipment the hospitals have. They've been doing this for forty years. So get your MRI, CT scan, Echo cardiogram, ultra sound, lung screening, and cardiac scoring, every one of which will include the board certified radiologists report along with

the low price, no no extra. So MRI at a hospital thirty five hundred dollars maybe four grand, you get it with a contrast that affordable it's six forty five, no contrast needed, get it for four hundred and ninety five bucks. CT without a contrast four fifty CT with a contrast six hundred at a hospital five grand, yeah or more. Echo cardigram is only four hundred and ninety five bucks, And again all of them come with the board certified radiologists. I had this from one of the

CT scans I got done most recently. You know, my cancer doctor said, here's the here's the prescription. Go to the imaging department at the local hospital. I said, I'm going to Affordable Imaging Services. I do spots for them. It's like fine. You know what she said about the image nothing, It was great, it worked fine, she was able to diagnose me or look at the report and everything, well, didn't go the way I want it, but massive savings. You got a choice when it comes to your medical care.

at fifty seven. Right now, let's see about traffic from Chuck.

but I guess I don't know. People's perceptions of Thanksgiving must differ from one place to another, because I'm looking at some really outrageous enses for Thanksgiving, and we'll talk about that, but I think over I mean, Thanksgiving was always my favorite holiday. You get gifts at Christmas, but Thanksgiving in our family, it was always the big holiday

where all the relatives got together. You know, we have relatives in Lexington and far and wide, and they'd all descend upon someone's house and it would rotate, but everyone sort of brought something, so not one person was left with the entire expense of having to cook, prepare and spread out the bar and the turkey and the dressing and everything else that goes along with it. It's like Joan, you're responsible for the turkey and dressing, and Jerry irresponsible

for this, and Brian you're responsible for this. It was never a massive expenditure, even if you had twenty five thirty people to serve, because it was broken up among various family members. We all love the pot luck nature of it, and you know, the camaraderie, the friendship, the celebratory environment. It's just there was nothing. There was no downside about it. Or am I just waxing poetic about time's gone past?

The one thing I circled that I figured is probably the largest financial strain on any family hosting Thanksgiving is the open bar, because you know, liquor is expensive, and a lot of people have some really high tastes in liquor, and expectations may be high about what you serve and is available at the bar. Yeah.

eighty percent. You know, these are the kind of things that we I know, I didn't. I didn't see that either, but that's something we're certainly not going to have. This is the day we make the excuse that it's okay to eat that stuff. So eighty percent more, yes, sign

me up anyway. But yeah, there's the little All these little things, of course add up, and it has everything to do with just the overall cost of goods sold and cost of moving and manufacturing things, and of course the ever present need to expand profit margin when we can get away with it simply because people think things are more expensive. So let's sneak some profit margin in there too.

it's it's also nice to have. Honestly, I get a great reward when someone enjoys something that I've made, or when I see the looks on people's faces with what my wife has baked. She's a wonderful baker, cookies and pies and everything. I mean, it gives you a tremendous amount of personal fulfillment, which honestly, I don't think you can put a price tag on.

lot smaller this year than any years compass. I don't mind a couple extra bucks, and I love the idea getting together and that outweighs money across the board. Brian James, always a pleasure having you on the program. We'll look forward to next Monday, another edition of Monday Monday.
