55KRC Monday Show - Ken Kober, Jennifer Gross, Smitherman, Money Monday

all accounts, pointing a firearm at a police officer. And we all know what happened on that one found that out last week eighteen year old no longer with US. Ey body camera footage released. If I don't know if you've seen it or not, it's not crystal clear, and therein lives of challenge as we move forward, worried about

protests and obviously dad didn't take it real well. But you know, you got to ask yourself out loud, what's an eighteen year old doinger with a forty caliber glock handgun with an extended magazine and it is stolen car. I imagine that's lots of process. As a parent, I'm not quite sure how I would process it, but don't think I would react the way that it all fell up came in so can Colbert joined us at six point thirty off for his thoughts and comments on that tragedy.

Coming up, also seven oh five up State Representative Jennifer gross on why you should vote no on issue too. Quite a few listeners have gotten in touch me you have cared. We'll talk about issue too. I brought it up from time to time. It just the problem that problem is it's a constitutional amendment which we will enshrine. This what I'm calling slush fund. But we'll allow Jennifer to offer her thoughts and comments on that. Coming up

at seven oh five Christopher Smithman, it is Monday. We do the Smither event every Monday at seven twenty former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, and I have a feeling he'll also have some a thing or two to say about the the murder of the sheriff's deputy, but also that this details about what led up to it, and maybe a comment or two about why an eighteen year old be caring a glock twenty three forty caliber

firearm with an extended magazine Monday. Monday, Brian James. Today, we'll talk about consumer confidence being low in spite of the fact and jobless claims up actually at a decent jobs a new jobs report filed last week. You at least it exceeded expectations. Young workers report burnout and living paycheck to paycheck. Plus Starter Home is beginning at one million dollars. That seems to be a little out of everyone's reach, at least that's my perception. Finally cares, he cares.

Maybe question marks since a VA may join the program at eight forty so I hope they do. But if not, we'll muddle through and talk about, well what you want to talk about, which you can steer the co direction of the conversation. I always invite listeners to call five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three Taco with pound five fifty on at and T phone

over the weekend. Haven't kind of Sheriff's office release identity of that deputy that was killed in the crash Friday by the father of the man whose son was killed and the officer involved shooting eighteen years old with the glock twenty three forty caliber hang on with an extended magazine. It was Deputy Larry Henderson, sheriff's deputy for thirty three years,

served in multiple specialized units. Listen to this. He was not always the Academy instructor, dive Team member, HCPA SWAT, FBI task for officer, and he was with the bomb unit as well at some point HCSO Bomb Unit. Helvin County Sheriff charlel MANE McGuffey said in a statement on Saturday. In Deputy Henderson's early tenure as a Sheriff's deputy, I recognized his talent for teaching and presentation. Larry began his journey as a Sheriff's office trainer early in his career,

developed the expertise and became an excellent trainer. Subsequently trained divisions on a Hemlon County Sheriff's Office that include hundreds of deputy sheriffs. His ability to relate to and touch officers' lives was extraordinary. We will continue to honor Larry's life of service and his badge is going to be retired. Badge number one twenty nine will be retired from the Hemmon County Sheriff's Office. Least accorded information from the spokesperson there, Jase,

it's a shame. Governor Line, for his part, is ordered flags to be flown at half staff across the state in honor of the late Hemlon County Sheriff's Deputy Larry Henderson. Order takes took place Sunday night last night and last until sunset on the day of his funeral. Take place all across Hamilton County, in addition of the Ohio State House, the Verne Rifle Center, and Rhodes State Office Tower. Additionally, all other public buildings in the state will be permitted

to five flags his staff at their discretion. I'd like to see a lot of them being flown at half staff in honor of this well. Obviously he had a great career at the Sheriff's office. No announcement got on the funeral arrangements, but Charmie McGuffey said that they would

be publicly announced soon then. So far as what the court documents explain about what led to the fatal crash, Fox nineteen reporting Hamilton County municipal court affidavit states that based on numerous witness statements and evidence found at the scene, Rodney Hinton Junior, that's the father of the kid who had the gun jove eastbound across oncoming lanes through the intersection of Martin Luther King Drive and Burnout Wood's Drive and directly at the deputy, who was wearing a uniform

as well as a bright fluorescent vest. According to court documents, the deputy was standing on the sidewalk at the corner of the intersection, outside of the lanes of travel, doing traffic control. A statement from the attorneys representing the Hinton family explained that the day of the crash, the families, along with the now incarcerated without bond, Rodney Hinton Junior, met with CINCINNT Police Department watched the body cam footage

involving Ryan Hinton. That's the eighteen year old kid with the glock twenty three to forty caliber with the extended magazine. See I keep bringing that up. I mention you was eighteen. Family attorneys said that the family was understandably disraw as they watched the video. The attorney statement goes on to say that after the meaning Rodney, Brian's father left in his own vehicle and had not been heard from until

the news of the crash. In the statement, they say on behalf of Brian Hinton's family, we offer our heartfelt condolences to the family and college of the officer who was just killed yesterday. This is an umaginable tragedy for this community. Ryan Hinton's family is heartbroken by this tragic turn of events, and we're all devastated for the family

and the officer who was killed. So Rodney, for his part, he's now in jail without bond, as I mentioned, charged with aggravated murder in the death of the deputy, and he's being held in the Claremont County jail. I guess for looking looking out for his own safety. I suppose it's understandable that the attorneys would put him there that Judge tyrone Yates County Municipal Court Judge tyrone Yates, who was presiding over the suspects arraignment last week, put in

the Claremont County jail. This was an agreement made between the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office and Claremont County for what I described as the defendant safety. That's according to Judge Yates, they did not want to have any questions about him being held in Hamilton County as a matter of safety because the officer had been a Hamilton County deputy sheriff. It makes perfect sense. You see how many the sheriff's deputy showed up for that arraignment. Place was packed with

sheriff deputies. Obviously one of their own was murdered, intentionally run over. By all accounts, that's a strong showing of force. And of course the Hamilton County Sheriff's office runs the jail, so one can understand there might be a little bit of concern expressed by the Hinton family on him being

locked up there. Yates and the arrayment asked the sheriff's deputy if they have a safe environment in Claremont County of whether they'd returned to return Hinton to Hamilton County in May for his bond hearing, and the deputy responded yes to both questions. That w the Clairmont County deputy. Apparently the younger Hinton had no record eighteen year old Ryan Hinton no criminal history. Enquire looking it up found no records related to him. Rodney Hinton, No Dad Rodney

Hinton Junior went to Purcell Marrion. According to his Facebook post, he pled guilty to assault and aggravated menacing in Middletown Municipal Court in twenty twenty three. He sentenced to one year of probation order to have no contact with the victims.

It's all we know about his background, although he did share a post about a couple of officers involved killings, and he called for the rest of an officer who shot a Titania Jefferson, a twenty eight year old black woman in Texas, while responding to a call for a wellness check. I'm not sure what you can draw by overall conclusions on that, but we all know what happened.

And again I'll point to and salute the Sheriff's deputies, the Cincinni Police Department, and other police officers out there. We're in the uniform every day for the benefit of our safety and the fact that they have to deal with armed eighteen year olds running amock and stolen vehicles every single day or sometimes even worse. It's a tough job.

It's worthy of our respect, and I wish our public officials would do more to support the police or all the folks in uniform, shriff's deputy's police department, and do more to advance the interest of those organizations because they do protect us, they do serve us. They're a pillar of the criminal justice system. Laws need to be enforced. We need an arm to enforce those laws in the police.

I know they quite often are showing up after the tragedy's hit, but someone to be held accountable, to be held up in front of society as an example of what will happen to you if you engage in criminal conduct. That's the point of having the sheriffs and the police out there. You remove that pillar, it falls apart. No one has any incentive follow the law. Five sixteen fifty

five kr SE Detalk station, Feel free to call. I got plenty to talk about this morning until we get to State Representative Jennifer Gross Well actually Ken Coober on this issue at six point thirty, followed by State Representative Gross and Christopher Smithman at seven o'clock hour. I'll be right back after these brief words.

podcast form. Speaking of law enforcement and our brave men and women in uniform who are working to enforce the law which hopefully leads to prosecutions if guilt beyond a reasonable doubt is established and the jail time is necessary, we have a place to put them. I know that's been a problem here in Havldon County for a while because the overcrowding in the lock up. I'm not quite sure the current situation, but apparently nationally we have a problem.

I was kind of chuckling over this. Donald Trump's solution to the problem. We've been sending these illegal immigrant criminals to Guantanamo Bay as well as the El Salvadoran Seacot prison. El Salvador is willing to take a bunch of them, and I know that's through people the wrong way and there's ongoing litigation over that. But moving aside from whether it's appropriate or prudent to send them there need to send them someplace to have them blocked up because they

are criminals. Donald Trump proposed yesterday he wants to reopen and rebuild Alcatraz Prison off San Francisco Coast, true social media posts last evening. For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, repeat criminal offenders, the dregs of society who will never contribute anything other than misery and suffering. That's a bold statement when we are a more serious nation. In times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals and keep them far away from

anyone they could harm. That's the way it's supposed to be. No longer will we tolerate these serial offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets. We will no longer be held hostage to criminal thugs and judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals who came into our country illegally. The reopening of Alcatraz will serve as a symbol of law, order and justice.

maintain the prison to keep it open. That was nineteen sixty three, and I think that's nineteen sixty three dollars a buck ain't what it used to be. And considering you look at that California rail project, they haven't even laid a single track and they've already blown through billions of dollars. Hey, Joe, if it cost two billion dollars to build a modern football stadium, how much you think it would cost to build a brand new prison out in the middle of the water tree fitty that's close enough.

They'll be tree fitty billion, right anyway. Of course, it's been closed more than sixty years. It's now a National Historic Landmark and people tour it all the time. Apparently that's very popular. It's been in a lot of movies too. They get more than a million visitors around the world visiting Alcatraz every year a quarter of the Bureau of Prisons. Trump was pressed by the media on the proposal. It's just an idea I've had. It's long been a symbol Alcatraz.

It's a sad symbol, but it's a symbol of law and order. Well yeah, but practically speaking, I can only imagine what the price tag on that would be to continue to rebuild. For what, you know, building anything on an island. You know, the transportation costs for all the materials, moving the workers out there and bringing them home every day. It's just a nightmare scenario. Good point, Joe, and the

fact that it's California. I'm sure there's probably some environmental lawsuit filed to stop it at its tracks, among other lawsuits to be filed. Although there's an argument to be made that'd be some good union our work. Going back to how much it would cost to rebuild Alcatraz Island. Anyhow, I think Trump stepped at it the other day he said he didn't know whether he was duty bound to

uphold the Constitution. This is going to inflame the left and provide further arguments that Donald Trump wants to be a fascist dictator. He was asked whether the non citizens are entitled to due process. The Fifth Amendment does require it before any person within the US territory maybe deprived of life, liberty of property. Quote, I don't know. I'm not a lawyer, he said, I don't know. On meet

the protest over the weekend. While the Fifth Amendment might say that, Trump said compliance would require a million or two million, or three million trials. He said, I was elected to get them the hell out of here, and the courts are holding me from doing it. Well, therein lies the challenge. He's right, we're talking millions of trials. But if they are in fact entitled to do process, that's what you got to go through. I mean, it's

a challenge. And if the courts ordered Trump to go through that process, the host asks, don't you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president? His response, I don't know, And that puts you in a tricky position when you've already sworn to uphold the constitution. He fell back with I have to respond by saying, again, I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said, so a little bit of a backpedaling on that, but

you know the SoundBite is, I don't know. So you know, like you got guy like Richard Blomouth thought, big Democrat senator out of Connecticut, President who doubts his most fundamental duty, his sworn oath to the Constitution is unfit for office, defiance the laws becoming this administration's hallmark, threatening irreparable damage. And there you can see the beginning of the next wave of sound bites criticizing Donald Trump for uh well

found upholled his oath of office. I don't think it's all played out yet, though, but he may have gotten ahead of himself on that one. I think he more definitively said guess I swore to pull the Constitution and I will, and then the lawyers and the court system will ultimately determine what the Constitution requires. Five twenty six fifty five KERCD talk station got more local stories to dive on into. You feel free to call though, I'd like that if you did, but we can muddle through

even without. Got a stack of stupid coming up, of course, following the local stories. I'll be right back.

matter to them. It matters to them whether or not women can have the right to kill babies. It matters to them whether or not men could play in women's sports. It matters to them whether or not someone who is in this country illegally should be allowed to stay. These are the things that matter to them. These are the things that they give a crap about. And if you notice people from you know, politicians and all the way down to some of us unwashed masses, what we give

a crap about affects everybody else around us. And the Democrat Party is affecting us in very terrible ways. And they are They have been slowly but surely destroying this country, at least trying to, and especially if it's picked up speed over the last oh, i don't know, ten twelve years of them affecting us with all their all their garbage and everything like that, and all the news stories pretty much say it. But it all comes down.

District School District Board of Elections. They have a proposed levey six point six y' one mill It's on the ballot. It's going to generate twelve point eight million annually. How much is it going to cost the homeowner? Two hundred and thirty one dollars for each one hundred thousand dollars the county auditors appraised home value for a period of

ten years. The board claims that the current revenue sources, including existing tax levies and funds from state and federal governments will be insufficient to maintain the district's operation without additional funding, so that particular issue will be on weal. Of course, the areas where Princeton City Schools operates pretty much all over the place, portions of the Hamilton, Butler,

Maybe you got a comment on that one five, one, three, seven, nine, fifty eight to two three talk. I'm a firm no on issue too as well, So I'm on record. Let's see here smoking gun reporting on this one. Love that site. Tale of two identities.

This one made national news and appearing to the smoking gun again just days after claiming a one hundred and sixty seven point three million dollar powerball jackpot. Kentucky man now behind bar, charged with kicking a cop in the face during a fight at an

ocean front hotel in Florida. Do what the hell court records reflect. James Farthing, a fifty year old ex convict, rested on feloningy and midemeanor ture in connection with the fracas at the Trade Winds Resort in Saint Pete Peach. Farthing at the resort with Jacqueline fight Master. Interesting connection there, that's his forty two year old girlfriend who was with him when he accepted the one and sixty seven point

three million dollar power ball win. Farthing, who won the April twenty six powerball drawing, bought the winning ticket at Clark's Pumpin' Shop in Georgetown Phrasing, just north of Lexington.

Courted reports from the New York Times on that one. Art Institute of Chicago confirmed the report, saying that Rondo has returned to Chicago, currently on voluntary leave

Clayton County Jail, Jonesboro, Georgia, went to lockdown after officers could not find a missing inmate convicted of murder, only for cops to discover that they had left him at the courthouse holding cell overnight for about twelve hours, Julian Brooks Deloche missing from the county jail, where he was on loan from the state prison due to a recent misdemeanor. Deloche, convicted of murder in nineteen eighty four, granted pearl in

twenty ten. Cl Sheriff lebon Allen, speaking of local news, the jail went on lockdown as officers search for him, but the next morning they realized he'd accidentally been left in the holding cell at the courthouse, which is attached to the jail. Holding cell located in the secure area, but they're not intended to hold people overnight. No beds in those cells, only benches, sinks and toilets, also unsupervised after court hours, so no one was there after six pm.

Farri fallons they searched every cell in every area of the jail, searching for a month. Ultimately by the time we reviewed cameras and backtrack and took us back to the courtroom where he was at Ultimately, of course, hours had passed. Discovered around seven am the following morning me he had been in the holding cell for twelve to

thirteen hours. As a consequence, sheriff said he's thinking about two correctional sergeants being demoted and two deputies assigned to the Court division being suspended.

business operations. Many times a single practitioner's licensed there and we discovered that there were multiple individuals advertised or operating at the facility, one of the problems with the licensure issues. Additionally, Ying Qui failed to disclose a felony prostitution conviction in twenty twenty two hunder state application for a license. Darius not alerted to the conviction until she attempted to renew her license and marks one of those kind of massage

parlors eh see here. Quarter Officials Town of Dairy in ordinance back in twenty twenty three to regulate massage parlors and other associated businesses. This was a new process which required the owners and ropractitioners to obtain a license from the Town of Dry and embedded within that they had to show proof of valid state license as a massage therapist. Apparently didn't do that, quarter to one official for whatever

reason at the state level, either staffing or otherwise. I'm not sure, but if you go to the state website, there's no record of what happened in Delaware. The fact that an investigation was done at the state level, that's a very difficult pill for us to swallow. Phrasing say, I read that line just for you, Joe. Anyway, not much on that one, but it does conclude today's status. Tuka Cinco de Mayo stack is stupid, which is interesting.

Apparently they don't even really celebrate it in Mexico. It celebrates Mexico's victory over the French army at the Battle of Puebla May fifth, eighteen sixty two. Popular here in the United States, particularly among Mexican American communities. Not a national holiday in Mexico, primarily celebrated only in the city of Puebla, gets a lot of attention here, though, is this cultural appropriation sticker. It is an excuse to drake, which is probably why we adopted it as a holiday.

Joe ken Cober, or FLP President, on the recent murder of the sheriff's deputy and what led up to that. We'll get his thoughts and comments at six point thirty. Got some time to talk between now and then, feel free to call. I'll be right back after the news.

rate of speed in his automobile. Of course, Rodney Hinton Junior arrested being in the He's in the Claremont County Lockup rather than the Hamilton County Lockup because of reasons for his safety and concerns by the judge that I

don't know you might have with an Epstein situation. Since the Hamilton County Sheriffs run the Hamilton County Lockup, I can appreciate why they might have wanted him moved, although I imagine there's sort of a fraternal bond between the Claremont County Sheriff's deputies and the Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy, so well remains to be seen what happens anyway. Rodney obviously upset about the shooting of his son Ryan, who was carrying a glock twenty three to forty caliber with

an extended magazine. I brought up again and again and again because he's only eighteen years old and had he not been brandishing the weapon, he would still be with us today. I hate to hear about officer involves shootings. Obviously you have a concern that you know certain element of the population will end up rioting in the streets, whether or not it was appropriate action by the police

officer or not. I wish the video was a little more clear if you watch it it's not as clear that the gun was pointed directly at the officer as the officers suggests happened. So we're left to draw our own conclusions. But well, hear what kan Kover has to say the bottom of the r fast forward one hour. State Representative Jennifer Gross on why you should vote no on issue too. I've been telling people to vote no. I call it a slush fund, but it's a constitutional amendment.

And ask yourself since all this is for infrastructure projects, you know, they point out and all the pro issue too, folks, all your roads or roads are falling apart. Well, where in the hell's the gasoline tax money been going? How come municipalities haven't been taking a stock in their own roads and you know, taking care of them, City of Cincinnati, That's what tax dollars are for, first and foremost, take care of the infrastructure you've all he got before we

start building more stuff and things. This is just an ever growing fund. Bonds will be issued and interest will be paid upon them. So I'm not in favor of it. We'll hear the reasons Jennifer's against it. At seven oh five, Christopher Smithman, I have a feeling he may mention the death of Deputy Larry Henderson, and he probably will mention Ryan Hinton, the eighteen year old walking around with the clock twenty three to forty calib with an extended magazine Monday. Monday,

Brian James eight oh five. Consumer confidence low, jobless claims are up, young workers reporting burnout and living paycheck to paycheck and starter homes beginning at one million dollars. Geez, clemen doom. The last couple of weeks with Brian James anyway cares Maybe with this cincinnt VA, we have little we We're kind of up in the air on whether that's going to take place anyway. I mentioned in the last hour, I thought Donald Trump shouldn't have gone there.

But when he was asked about whether he would uphold the the Constitution, listen to what the judges are saying particular situation, whether the Fifth Amendment requires before any person within the United States may be deprived of life, liberty, or property. I don't know, he said, I'm not I'm

not a lawyer. I don't know. Talking with Kristen Welker on NBC News Meet the Press, and he points out while the Fifth Amendment might say that due process compliance will require a million or two million, or three million trials, which again there's the problem we've got. But the Constitution says what it says. Courts are in the position to interpret what it means, and ultimately the Supreme Court will

have a say on this. But the way my understanding reads, and the way the law is currently being applied, you got to give them due process. Now with that, you know, it's a slow process, it's expensive, it's time consuming. Millions of court cases must be their hearings must be held. You know, the the we all demand an instant gratification, and sometimes, you know, we sacrifice our confidence constitution for political expedients, something judgment Politana and I talk about all

the time. In the context of waging war. We just willing nearly launched missile strikes and rockets and engage in authorization for use of military force, and that would allow us to go into combat what Afghanistan was for but ten years with no declaration of war. It turns a constitution on top of the head. Now, listeners know, I am no fan of Alexandrio Casio Cortez at all. I stand for almost anything that comes out of her mouth,

although I got to defend her on this one. Now she dared Tom Holm and the Borders are to get her arrested for what she claimed was providing legal advice she was giving immigrants on how to avoid being deported. Holman said he had already referred her antics to the

US Department of Justice. The dare from Alexander Casio Cortes came at a pack town hall in Queen's after Homan previously suggested that her hosting of a know Your Rights webinar this was back in February that it impedes Immigrations and custom Enforcement from carrying out Trump administration's deportation of illegal aliens. Tom Humman said he was going to refer me to the DOJ because I'm using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections.

To that, I say, come for me. Do I look like I care? Said? There was nothing illegal about it, and if they want to make it illegal, they can come and take me. Now. For the webinar that's being referred to here, recommended illegal aliens ask for warrants and deploy cell phones to record ICE searches also provided tips on how to differentiate between different warrants and authorities that

are likely the authorities are likely to carry. Homan, for his part, thinks that she ventured into illegal territory with providing that advice. So he said, I'm working back and I guess recently said talking to Fox and he said, I'm working with the Department of Justice and finding out where is that line they cross? So maybe AOC is going to be in trouble now. Now I have to defend what she was doing. And going back to Tom's point in the last hour, what do you care about

when you're evaluating your politicians? What do they care about? And Tom made some excellent contrast. Do they care about the US citizen defending our rights and our freedoms and our interests, or do they care about something else like a wide open border that is jeopardizing US I mean for safety reasons, but from a financial standpoint, it's putting a tremendous burden on our limited resources. So what does Alexander of Casio care to Cortes care about? So this

is why we have free speech. She's providing information that is I suppose truthful on some level. You can record with your cell phone. Hell that's like a default mechanism for most people these days, and pull their cell phone up before they do anything to even protect their own best interest. She's allowed to tell illegal immigrants that they should ask for a warrant. She's allowed to provide them information about how to differentiate between what type of official

is there with the warrant. That's all information that's on the books. That's all information that the illegal immigrants went out into the world. They would be able to find if they went to an attorney to talk about them in advance. What happens, attorney, if the Immigrations and Customs officials show up? What should I do? An attorney could provide this advice. So you're on shaky ground when you

attack people for freedom of speech. I mean, remember the anarchist cookbook written back in the early nineteen seventies, around nineteen seventy had bomb making information in it. I mean even the FBI evaluated that and said, well, you know, there's nothing we can do about it. Yeah, the guys at left wing radical loan, but this is information that free speech rights protects.

you know, calls for immediate violence. If there's an opportunity for more speech to be interjected into the discussion, then you have the free speech right to sort of incite violence. That's that Brandenburg case we've talked about all the time from here in Hamlin County where that was the clan

members of the Nazis were encouraging the extermination of black people. Horrific, Yes, protected, Yeah, we turned the main when you're post, reported Waterville's senior high school English teacher, here's an argument for free school choice. Joanna Saint Germain went on Facebook last week demanding the Secret Service coordinate and kill every single one of Trump's fans along with the president. Quote, the Secret Service has the perfect opportunity if they choose to step up and

take it. You are the ones with the power coordinate take out every single person who supports Trump's illegal, immoral, unconstitutional acts. So here she's making a statement to the Secret Service. If they're right next to the president, their arms, so they should kill him. Outrageous, Yes, should be she be fired, yes, But as of this week, she's not been fired yet. She claims she was not talking about assassinating a president. That's a person duly elected by the

American people. She wrote, quote, if you step up, we can avoid a civil war. I'm not talking about assassinating a president. A president, he's a d person duly elected by the American people. Trump has shamelessly bragged openly about stealing the election. I told you she's unhinged. He's making plans to give himself a third term. No, that point was negated by the President over the weekend. I'm talking about Americans recognizing a fascist dictatorship and standing against it.

If I had this skill set required, I would take them out myself. So that includes many of my listeners in a listening audience who are big Trump fans. And she knows that she may get in trouble. She posted this, I knowing I'd likely lose my job and benefits. I'm not backtracking a single thing. I believe Trump and every

sycophant he has surrounded himself with needs to die. This is a person who has a tremendous amount of control over your children, at least while they're in her classroom at Waterville Public Schools, where the superintendent said they are looking into it, but they have not fired her yet. Well, I suppose she's got the free speech right to say something like this that is running well, really close to

the margins though. Plum type plumbing. Get in touch with plumb type plumbing, which is always plumbing done right to all the rain we've been having lately. Sewer lines may be backed up.

You're right, Eric, Eric made an interesting observation. Was talking about that unhinged teacher who's calling for the murder of a lot of my listening audience, as well as Donald Trump egging the Secret Service on to assassinate the President, even though she said that she didn't necessarily want the president assassinated because he was duly elected. I mean, the woman obviously is emotionally disturbed. Call it Trump derangements syndrome,

if you will, but that people carry these views. You know, there's not a single leftist out there, including the aforementioned Alexander Ocasio Cortes, that I would ever, ever, ever call to be murdered. I mean, you're entitled to your own viewpoints as part of my libertarian philosophy, you know, have them and speak out loud upon them. Which is the point that I'm making about alex aoc Listen to what she said, listen to what she's advocating for, and make

an informed decision before you reelect her. She wasn't on record with these types of opinions when she got elected, originally after being a bartender. But Eric makes a good point. If she had said that about Obama, his point, she'd be in custody right now. And I you know, in my response to him, Yeah, even though I'll argue the speech is protected. And whoever said this about Obama? If there was a circumstances where this happened, that person gets arrested,

what would they have to do? Lawyer up incur massive defense costs being represented in a proceeding that shouldn't take place. Because we have the First Amendment and ultimately the case being thrown out or her person her in this case, being found not guilty because we have a First Amendment in the speech is protected. But they would go through the exercise and they use that in order to chill

speech in the world. Look what's going to happen to you if you say something like this, You're gonna get arrested, You're gonna have to go through the process, and it doesn't matter that you're ultimately found not guilty. Who wants to go through that headache in hassle? And I know how much lawyers cost, and it's a hell of a lot of money to get a defense lawyer to take you

through this process. Can you afford it? So you can hang your First Amendment out there all day long and ultimately you will be defended by it, but it can be extremely costly. It's always a question of whose ox

is being gored here. That's why I'm not I'm thinking Tom Homans shouldn't go down the road that the leftists go down and try to get the Department of Justice to prosecute this loon Alexandrio Casio Cortes or providing information to illegal immigrants on what they're on the on the book's rights happen to be, or at least her interpretation

that the gun was pointed at the officer. Are we missing some details on that the shooting incident?

some point in society. You know, we've got to get back to we're going to believe what a police officer says, an officer that is sworn to take an oath that is is the epitome of integrity. We've got to start believing that if this officer says this just because it's not captured because the video is blurry, when are we to decide that we're gonna believe what a police officer says instead of saying, well, if it's not on camera, if it's not so clear on this camera what happened,

then we're not going to believe it. It's true. That's what we have to get back to in society.

on alert the kid. The kid's got a gun. For God's sake, my life is in peril, and the community's life is in peril. My other officer's lives may be in peril. So you got a heightened sense of awareness and adrenaline flowing and concern that coming around that dumpster is a kid with a gun.

specifically that that he pointed it at him. But when you watch the video, if you slow it down, you can see you know where the officer or where the suspect is, what he's doing, and in fact, he was shot in the chest. Now, I don't know in what world people live, but if you shoot someone in the chest, it's hard to say that they were running away from you.

That's a fantastic police officer that in that time he thought that his life was in danger and he did exactly what he should have done. And instead of you know, these community members that are all up in arms about this. Instead of them going did this offs act reasonable? Which is absolutely true, the blame should be put on this eighteen year old kid that's running from a stolen car with a gun that decided to make a decision that

forced this officer to take his life. That's where the blame is, not on this police officer who is protecting his.

was probably stolen. Anyway, I'll hold your comment and thought on that, Ken, because we're out of time in this segment, I want to bring you back for a few more words from Ken Cover FOP President on this absolute tragedy.

in his hand. As we know, Budyo camera footag our body video from the Sheriff's deputies proved that that was indeed the case, and as kenn has pointed out, you know, you don't have to have the gun directly aim with the melon of the police officer. If you have an eminent apper, a reasonable eminent apprehension of reasonable bodily harm or grievous bodily harm, you're allowed to use deadly force. It's the law. And of course Ken defends the officers shooting.

So Ryan Hinton's dead. How in the hell is it that an eighteen year old was carrying around a glock? And you face this kind of thing each and every day in the police department, don't you, Ken?

and points it at a cop. It's like, why did he do all these things? All he did to do is get out of the car and run. You'll leave the gun in the car. You know, once you drop the gun, just leave it and run, you know, if that's what you want to do. I mean, that's that's exactly what we expect from these criminals that are stealing cars, stealing guns. Just run from the police. And this never happens.

I mean, these were just fatal mistakes that were made by an eighteen year old kid that either either wasn't taught, you know, growing up, how to be a respectful human being, or he just decided to make bad decisions. You know, this is this is one of these things where the police are certainly you feel terrible, terrible that this happened.

a tragic all around. I mean, trying to process this, you talking to sheriff's deputy's talking to you know, city police officers that I work with, and you know, trying to process this mess right now is just it's it's been very, very difficult.

I mean, everybody comes to work every day going and I hope today is just a really nice, easy day to be able to get through.

And then you know, you have a face to face fifteen to twenty minute interview with a psychiatrist that evaluates your body language, all of these things, what you say, how you're saying it to determine whether or not you seem like you would be some that would be fit to do this job well.

They're probably grieving too. There's some of them that are just there for nefarious reasons that could give two hoots about whether you know, it's the hitt And family or the police that just want to try to stir up a mess.

found out that there's a lot of money. But I have to tell you, after listening to that previous section about this terrible situation, it literally takes my breath away, and I can think of nothing other than it appears that the father, you know, the son the apple didn't fall far from the tree in this hate that really is in destructive to society.

He's a retired Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy. He's not a Cincinnati police officer. I mean, I know, you can't make an argument that would have been more justified if Ronnie Hitton Junior had run over and killed a Cincinnati police officer. But at least you can make the argument it's coming from the same force. In this case, Larry's his mine in his own business, you know, in his retirement working as an assistant you off, you know, not an active deputy,

but doing deputy work. Because he's got the skill sets and agreed to volunteer to do it. It's it's insane, man.

local projects because our highways were in great disrepair. The highway system had been utilized more often for manufacturing, and we had lots and lots of projects, largely local, a lot of those too. But the transportation budget is also another revenue stream that we use. So we already had the transportation budget and they said, well, we need a bump of money, so Celeste put it on the ballot for five hundred million dollars. Now it's they're asking for

two point five billion. And the projects were supposed to be basically, you know, we had a backlog of local infrastructure needs back then in nineteen eighty seven. And yet every ten years we keep renewing this. So just a little bit of the history.

insufficient revenue source? And if so, doesn't that require elected officials to allocate additional funds for the roads, maybe to the exclusion of some other fun new stuff and things the state might take on.

And you know, I just but it's debt.

So I'm frustrated by this happening in Ohio, but I'm used to it by now with Columbus the way it operates now. Allegedly, the grants that are dealt with in this cover roads, bridges, water supply, wastewater treatment, stormwater collection, and solid waste disposal. Now, since I live in the Greater Cincinnati area, if city council had control over any one of these given projects with the money that are coming from these bonds being issued, it will be some

outrageously outlandish green focused projects. So we're going to deal with wastewater, but we're not going to do it in the most energy for the most efficient way, mining the taxpayer dollars. We're going to do something really crazy and far more expensive in the name of I don't know, climate change or something, and only by the way it's going to be mandated at all. This is being done by union scale wage and all the extra do deads, and so I'm just looking at.

get the contracts and all of that. The other thing that's to concern to me is this, there's no clear direction as to who would get those projects, is it the biggest project? Because I had someone not in my district, but I had someone call me and say, you know, it's been two decades and we have this bridge we'd have we've had to lower load on because we can't get it fixed. So even though we keep approving all this money, we're not getting the project. And they're in

a small rural county in Ohio. So how how are the projects being spent? How are they divvied out? How do we determine? And it is my understanding that once again, when we spend this money, we also then draw down additional funds from the federal government. I don't know if you're if everybody understands what that means. What does draw

down from the federal government mean. It means that if you're telling me that you think the federal government is blowed and bloated and overgrown, that Ohio has to stop spending money locally just to get more money from the federal government. So, for instance, for every dollar we spend,

four dollars comes back from the federal government. In some of these projects, we have federal highway funds and things like that that we then when we spend the money the federal the federal government matches us a certain amount. The federal government has to spend more money at the federal level when we spend money, and that's an agreement that we've made which makes Ohio dependent on federal funds.

give you a dollar tomorrow. I'm tired of of us. Our revenue stream is very, very strong, and yet we keep spending the people's money with no property tax relief. We solve an income tax and so to me, yes, if this is not passed, it requires your legislature to make some hard choices on how we're spending our dollars.

I mean, what we do in our society, unfortunately, Brian Thomas, is we dehumanize our peace officers, all six hundred thousand plus of them across the United States of America, and we do that by talking about things like defunding the police department, or reimagining the police department, or Tuesday Morning quarterbacking split second decisions that your sister, who is a former Cincinnati police officer, had to make or saw her

colleagues have to make in her career. And so part of this lack of common sense, you know, you see it permeating out on social media as the officer who is our administrative lead, which is just a part of the process as he goes through counseling, as if this doesn't impact his life, meaning someone who has to take the life of someone, but to deal with this father who decided the next day to randomly select choose this assassination of Deputy Larry Henderson is absolutely outrageous. It's so

over the top. And I heard the FOP president say, or I heard one of your callers say, I don't know of this happening anywhere else in the country.

and went to work. And this is what you and I talk about over and over again, how peace officers deserve to come home to their families. And we know that they're targets and uniforms because we're seeing it in New York, we're seeing it in Chicago, We're seeing it in our major cities like LA where people are just walking up officers or in their cruisers and they're targeting them. And so to find anybody on the planet who thinks

that this is okay, it's a major problem. Brian Thomas, I feel so bad this morning for Deputy Larry Henderson, who gave thirty three years of service to our county to end his to have his life ended this way, and to have anybody think it's okay. It's so over the top and outrageous.

And yet people are out there defending this guy and singing his praises. We live in a crazy world. Christopher

Smithman absolutely unhinged seven twenty nine. If at about Kersee talk station and talking with Christopher Smithman, former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, doing that smither vent thing, Christopher interrupted, You were going to make another comment that we're talking, of course, about this unbelievably horrific tragedy where Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy was intentionally killed by the father of the eighteen year old who was carrying a glock

twenty three forty caliber with an extended magazine. Footchase with the police after getting out of a stolen car, officers talking to each other. Sinceint police officers were involved in that shooting, they were aware that he had a firearm and he was the officer that shot the kid was told that he was around on his right and kid pops out of nowhere, and there he is with the

gun in his hand, and he responded accordingly. He had imminent apprehension of grievous bodily harm, which is the standard you need to justify a deadly force, and he got deadly force. You know, why was he carrying around a glock eighteen years old? Why did he run from deputies in the first place. Why did he just not drop the weapon and run? You heard all that from FFP President Ken Cover. I did.

There's so many distractions for our children. But I didn't play as a father, Brian Thomas, I didn't play my four kids even any of them could have been in that situation. The intervention in all of this is great parenting. I always wake up every day and say, I want to be the Michael Jordan of being a dad. Being a parent, that means you gotta be there, you gotta be present, you gotta make tough decisions. You got to invest in your kids. You just can't just have kids.

And I don't know what this kid's situation is, but all I can tell you is I worked hard to make sure that my children did not end up in this situation. And guess what, it doesn't matter whether you're white or your Latino, are your African American, are your Asian? Any of our kids could end up in a situation like this if as a parent, and particularly a father, you are not on top of your children. So I brag about being a great parent because there's been It's

been great sacrifice. And so when I hear things like this, someone stole a car, someone is in a stolen car, someone has a weapon, someone has extended ammunition on that firearm. Someone gets out of a car running, picks it up, goes somewhere and points it at a police officer. It is a recipe like oil and water for something really bad to happen, Brian Thomas. And so our common sense has to lend here and go listen. Our officers up out there have very complicated, serious jobs every single day.

And I'm talking about not you, Brian Thomas. I'm a small I go out there. I haven't hunted in a long time, but I do like hunting small games. If you've ever been walking next to someone who doesn't know how to handle a firearm, anybody listening knows what I'm talking about. A new person right, and that firearm comes in your direction, You're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, Come on, you gotta know pick that firearm down to the ground. My point is the fear that you have as a

firearm is coming towards you up in a direction. You're not waiting for the firearm tape we pointed at you. You're already terrified as it comes in your direction. Am I exaggerating?

doing it. The circumstances on this don't even remotely resemble that this is kid craying from a stolen car with police officers buying. I'm telling them to stop. I mean, correct, it is.

doesn't mean that. It just diminishes how I feel so strongly about his deputy being killed.

other entity or organization. There's already been some pretty awful, awful online post as you heard Ken Kober talk about, but at least as of right now, they don't anticipate anything but that that's of course, like the weather can change at any time. What would be your advice and your prayer to our elected officials in the city should that happen.

I always spoke out about these issues no matter what was happening. George Floyd violencing, downtown fires being set, shops being robbed, I've made myself available. My point is that we have elected officials right now who are quiet, right, who are not clear, like their voices are piercing through

the nonsense. That's the problem, right. So first of all, my advice to them is to is to come out with something that is so clear that you support your law enforcement officer, not just your prayers to the sheriff, which I absolutely think is the right thing to do, but that you support your officer who unfortunately had to use his firearm in order to protect his life, which

ultimately is protecting all of our lives. You don't hear that clarity, Brian Thomas coming from city Hall, And I'm connecting it directly to the election that we're involved in right now, meaning the primary, as you've been talking about throughout the morning, is tomorrow. The polls open at six thirty am, they close at seven thirty pm. Taylor Park good turnout, We need them showing up. But will Hyde Park Mount Lookout in Oakley, based on what happened with

their development, will they show up? Will other parts of our community bond Hill, Rose On, will they show up? I'm unsure about that. Voter turnout as like twelve percent right now. So what we need is a community who says, listen, I've got to send a message to city Hall. Write a message. That's why I'm supporting Corey Bowman, who's running for mayor, because I'm supporting change. I don't want to keep doing the same thing when we have situations like this.

We need a mayor and a council that will come on your show and speak the way I'm talking right now, saying I support my officer, I support my commands there. I don't want the chief just out there by herself. Chief Fiji, who's doing a great job, comes from a great law enforcement family. I don't want to just hear from our sheriff. I want to hear from the elected Brian Thomas, and so when you ask me what they can do and what they should be doing, that's it.

But here's the bottom line. We have to have a zero tolerance people come into our community from the outside of the inside and decide that they want to start writing, they want to start blocking our roads, they want to start setting things on fire. We've got to support our police department and holding those people accountable fast, right, We've got to have their back. If we do that, we won't have the problems. There should be no one out

here destroying property. Now, if somebody gets a permit, if somebody says they would like to have they want to display their First Amendment rights, I have no problems with that, Brian Thomas. People have the right to do that. We allow them to do that peacefully. But that has nothing to do with destruction of property, that has nothing to do with blocking streets, that has nothing to be throwing things at our police officers. That has to be stumped out.

And we need elected officials in this election that will hold our community accountable. Anybody who's engaging in that kind of bad behavior. It's so sad to me, as the former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, we just do not have a strong elected body and a mayor in these crisis situations. It's okay to show up for the ribbon cutting. I can sit there with my Knight's outfit on, my hair done perfect right while I'm trying to go to my next gig. I'm trying to step

and go somewhere else. But when the rubber meets the road, when that officer is at home right now maybe listening to us, I want him to know I support you, brother, Thank you so much for your service. There are lots of good people out there that have your back, your wife's back, your children's back, your community's back. That's what a good mayor would be saying right now. That's what a strong council would be saying. Not resolutions about what's

happening in Israel and Hamah. I don't care about that from my council. I care right now, right now, in this moment, right now in Cincinnati, let's hear the clear message from city hall. And we your crickets, Brian Tartment's crickets.

is wrong or mischaracterized. So the predicate for rioting in the street is something that the police shouldn't be held responsible for. But yet nonetheless they're out there protesting it, and they, I think by the acts of violence are are done to invite more police involvement, to create more scenarios where they can say, see, look what the police did to me. All I was doing was exercising my

free speech rights. And I get arrested, I get busted, I meah blah blah blah blah blah, it's and you know that that obviously really has I think a profound impact on officer's psychology and how they're supposed to approach and maybe even the commands and directors that have been given to the police department and how they're supposed to approach these agitators. Let them go, I think has been the default determination. It's not worth it. We don't want

to elevate the situation. To just let them get it out of their system. It'll be over in no time and we'll move on with our lives. And I think that's how we got to where we are today.

the brown and black community. And these same elected officials right will be out here hob nobbing and talking about that with some kind of cookout, but not getting their arms around what's happened in our public school systems across the United States of America. Supporting our teachers who are trying to deal with these kids. Guarantee you they are teachers out there who taught this young man who saw him on TV and said, man, I probably could have

guessed that. My point is that when are we as former elected and elected officials, going to put our rate on the right side of the scale. The reality of it is, Black Lives Matter is nowhere to be found when our black and brown kids are being murdered every single weekend across the United States of America. Our streets are red, and our cops are the only thing out

there that's keeping it peaceful. I am so frustrated by these voices out here who want to identify a police officer who happens to be white, who's engaging an African American young person who says, this is my opportunity to riot, or this is my opportunity to protest protests our brothers and sisters that are being murder every single weekend in our streets in Cincinnati, in Dayton, no matter where, Detroit, Chicago,

you name it. That's what gets my skin boiling, my blood boiling, and that's that is the real issue that you and I as as my white brother me as your black brother. These are American children, a generation that we continue to lose, and we put our cops right in the middle of it and act as if there's not going to be a problem. If they come to the party with a gun, expect something bad to happen. We need parents and teachers, brother, that's what we need.

And I'm not gonna stop talking about it because there's people out there says Will Smitherman. You know he's not African American. You know he's a He stands apart, he's really not black. I am absolutely black. I'm African American, whatever you want to call me. I'm a dad out here who's concerned about the real issues. Those are our children who are dying in the streets with gun violence every single day. Hope Dutley, in conclusion, this is an

African American woman. She is an absolute patriot. And our Sharf's Department should be working with Hope Dutley to get those cards that she has of victims in those jails. Right now. We need Hope Dutley and our sheriff on the same page getting those cards inside of those jails in these prisons so we can solve these crimes. Of these families, these mothers who are listening to my voice right now, who are mourning in their living room because no one has solved the crime of why their baby

was murdered in the street. Thomas, thank you. I appreciate you giving me your voice.

He's on fifty five KRC, the talk station Stato six Here I pittybove Gar CD talk station. It being Monday, it's that time of week where we do the thing we call money Monday with all what financials. Brian Jane financial planner he is, and he's bringing us up lately some bad news. Jeez, Brian, can you can you put a smile on my face one of these weeks. Welcome back, my friend. It's always good to have you on the show.

things we need to know. I mean, you, of course focus towards the financial and try to get us to have the attitude that we need to take care of ourselves and how to do so, and how to properly plan for our retirement and how to manage things. So I think it's all valuable. Although you know what negative news gets the clicks, and that's kind of what's been

going on of late in the financial markets. I saw that weekly jobless claims jump to two hundred and forty one thousand, the latest sign of economic trouble in CNBC's headlines. So when you file for unemployment this is for first time filings? What does that specifically mean that the person who is filing for unemployment has never filed for unemployment before.

one thousand first time filers. That's up eighteen thousand from the week before, and the now Jones organization was estimating two hundred and twenty five thousand. Remember, everything in the financial markets, in the economic analysis has to do with what did we think was going to happen and then what actually happened. So a little above the estimates. But

I don't think it's a shock to anyone. Most people know somebody who is directly impacted by the decisions that our administration is currently making, which in the very short run here, there's no way to for everyone to withstand all of these tariffs, all these extra challenges without some kind of reaction. So you're seeing companies say, you know what, we got to pull in for just a little for a little bit, and hopefully we'll make it through the other side and bring everybody back on.

to be backing off on other things. So maybe there's some some smaller product they sell or something like that that's just not all of that viable, and therefore they may have to shut down that division or at least mothball it for a little while. That costs people jobs, and they may be looking for opportunities to save just so we can buy some time. And I've got I've got clients, I've got some personal friends who are talking about we need to be able to bring in part

raw materials from overseas. Didn't see these tariffs coming, you know, last year, so we didn't exactly plan for it right, And we can't afford to double overnight or cost of good soul, which is basically what's happening here. Things got twice as expensive as they were last year. Nobody planned for that. The ones who have the you know, who have the deepest pockets and the best ability to weather the storm are the ones who are going to be

here on the other side of it. But if you're not in that situation, then there's a lot of pain out there.

that and how. That's why I'm kind of shocked that it has this immediate effect, because the tariffs have only been in place now for what six weeks or two months?

started to rejigger and shuffle things. That's why we're seeing we're seeing we saw a decline in the overall GDP of the United States. It wasn't because demand fell or anything like that. It was because businesses were holding off on US based purchases of supplies and things that they need in favor of buying a bunch of stuff that they all they knew they would need, kind of stocking up before the tariffs hit. So we saw a much bigger trade imbalance due to that.

industries in certain areas. But he said he has a lot of customers that wouldn't do business with him because of the price of his gloves now coming to him and saying, hey, we need these gloves, and they're placing orders with his company because now his price is actually competitive with the tariff in place.

China's economy into depression. Now, whether or not that's true, can you guess what that global ramification might be if China were to actually go into a depression, but that have a profound impact or any impact on the United States?

trade imbalances changing. There will definitely be ripple effects from that, because whether you're rooting for them or rooting against them, they still factor into the equation. So if they're suffering and they're not spending as much money, then that means there are other other impacts that will happen to other countries. There's just a great reshuffling of the decks. This is again globalization as how we got here. Everybody's connected to

everybody else. So if one sneezez, everybody else gets a cold. That's kind of how it's been for a while now. So I would very much say that any any effect on such a large economy, such a large supplier of purchasing effectively, is going to have an impact for sure.

mind blowing starter home prices. We'll talk about those subjects coming up with all Worth financials. Brian James. I hope you can stick around fifty five KRC the talk station for more information about contests on this station. Channel I says, we got falling for the weather body. Day to day chances spotty afternoon showers of storm fifty seven overnight little forty eight, forty six with clouds and isolated showers, isolated showers and cloudy tomorrow with the highest sixty five, same

in the situations that they bring about. But at the same time, logic dictates that the decisions that are happening there, decisions that are coming out, are going to have a short term impact here, and the President himself has said that many times. So five months of declining confidences, people began to anticipate that these kinds of things are going

to have an impact. So lots of pessimism around there, just future business conditions, employment prospects, I'm worried about my income, so on and so forth, and this is all kind of natural. This is the part of the cycle when we're rejiggering exactly how we present ourselves as a country to the rest of the world. We are making it

more expensive to do business with us. That is, you know, the administration's goal here is long term gain for some short term pain, and so right now we're in the middle of the short term.

we can kind of get back to normal. So we are seeing some pretty steep declines in these confidence numbers, and we'll have to see where they go over the next few weeks. Well, and this might very well translate over to the leading industrial indexes S and P five hundred doubts that are.

down about seven percent. Everything bounced in early April. And as we've talked about before, if you are a diversified portfolio holder, meaning you got a little bit of everything, you got a horse in every race, then you're actually doing okay. Well, a lot of diversified portfolios are actually up for the year, believe it or not, because there are other things out there. Then the S and P five hundred. I'm speaking specifically of international companies, which again

are up fourteen percent year to date. If you're somebody who abandoned everything but the US over the past fifteen years because of how the S and P five hundred had performed, then you are now missing out on a more stable portfolio because of all this. So but yes, about a month ago, things bounced back up because the market is simply anticipating that these tariffs are going to come and go. Eventually, cooler heads will prevail and everybody will find their new position in all of this, and

the market will go forward. Underneath, things are relatively healthy. There is still demand. We don't have a two thousand and eight type situation. The economy wants to go up and the market does too. We just need the fog.

that things are going to get better. At some point in potentially or possibly the near future, if the markets were tanking, all these smart people are saying, no, it's going to be it's going to hit the fan and it's going to be terrible. So that's a little bit of optimism built into this. If you're not even if you're not invested in the market, well they're saying things will probably be better.

thousand and nine. If you go back and read headlines, Brian, you will not see positive headlines until around June of that year. So the headlines are always going to trail reality. The market wants to go up. It anticipates the good news coming, but it also makes a lot of false head starts.

I mean, it's just it's hard to find a bright spot in terms of what people's perception of how things are out in the world. But we're not the experts really, we're just sort of living our lives day today. And that's you know, I think people a lot of people are quite off and influenced by, of course what they read, and it's maybe has no connection with necessarily a reality.

But that's just not happening in California. It's happening all over. We'll get a little bit on that from Brian James as well. One more with Money Monday, All with Financial Brian James.

get to retirement. They feel their hill is a lot steeper because they're not going to have you know, they they're they're bombarded with the fact that social security is going to go away. It's not, but there's still the mental component that they're that sociecurity might take a hit, that things are more expensive, inflation and all of this, and they're they're among some of them, there's a feeling of hopelessness. Why does it matter that I have that I want to grind because I'm not going to be

able to afford it anyway. The deck is so stacked against me. That doesn't mean they've done the math to analyze it, but that's the drumbeat that's out there again. Because of social media they have, they have a lot more to contend with in terms of the loudness of all of the.

Can I can I put myself in a better spot, or it leads to quiet.

local environment. That still has an impact, of course, But this is this is highlighting the affordability crisis in the housing market. And this is another thing I can't like we just got done talking about. I'm unhappy with my job. I don't get paid enough. Why am I bothering to do all this? I just can't make things go. And part of this can be because of the mortgage payment that stares somebody in the face on the first of every month.

two hundred and thirty three cities are in California. That speaks volumes New New York, New Jersey right behind. To me, none of this is a shock because these are the places we always hear about is being more expensive with regard to real estate. So this is also revealing that the United States is short by about four and a half million homes. In other words, if we had four and a half million more homes available for purchase, the purchase price would be down closer to a normal level.

That's why you're still seeing subdivisions. We live up here in Butler County's new subdivision going up in a cornfield every other week. It seems like we've got some catching up to do.

Happy to talk about at five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones. It's eight thirty six. I'll be right back.

and sixteen hundred events. The athlete been making national headlines in Maine. The same athlete dating back to fo what was it February anyway, jumping from fourth place in the five k division in the girls category after previously finishing one hundred and seventy seventy second in the boys competition. This athlete made national headlines for competing in the Nordic skiing and taking a podium spot in Mainz High School State Nordic Skiing Championship in the past February that was

the February reference that I was thinking about. So at this Portland Seacoast Meet, Friday athlete won the sixteen hundred meters with a time of five fifty seven to twenty seven the second place runner six six teen thirty two. It's like a nineteen second rough difference between the two.

The male beat the female by about nineteen seconds. A bit closer in the and the other competition, the eight hundred meter two forty three thirty one, about a second better than the second place finisher to forty forty seven, proving yet again the cold hard reality that men have a competitive advantage over women in sports. Go ahead, look up records, and that this is even a hill that the Democrats thinks worth dying on. And they're in the

middle of litigation with the Trump administration. I mean State Representative Laurel Libby. She's been in trouble for making comments about this before. She pointed out today, a biological male won the eight hundred and sixteen hundred the girls division at the main track meet. Every girl who plays second, third, and fourth and further in those races was pushed aside so a boy could win. This is not fair. Our

girls deserve a fair, safe and level playing field. Now she had done this before, commented on a transathlete who won a girl's pole vaunting comics competition getting her a censure from the legislature's Democrat majority, and she's in a lawsuit over that one. Now, as to that Nordic skiing event, one of the main female athletes who had to compete against the trans athlete in that event said, the defeat that comes with that in that moment is heartbreaking. I'm

just in shock in a way. I didn't believe it. I didn't think it was happening to me. So for its part of the Department of Justice and now allows a lawsuit against the State of Maine for its continued defiance of the Executive Order to keep biological men out of girls and women's sports and alleged violations of Title nine. So this will all get hammered out in court. But again the governor there, Janet Mills, is like, bring it.

I'm happy to go to court and litigate the issue that are being raised in this court complaint, she said

in reaction to the Department of Justices action. Again, and you know this, I guess Democrats don't care about polling because the vast majority of folks in the state of main the vast majority of folks on the republic are and at least on the Republican and independence side of the Ledger are overwhelmingly against this, and a whole good sizable chunk of Democrats are against this concept as well. It's simply a question of fairness and in sometimes safety.

There's been a lot of those cases where the transgender athlete has harmed a female. I mean, think about a boxing competition. I mean, seriously, one thing to swimming. At least it's not a contact sport. It's one thing for running, at least it's not a contact sport. But that doesn't change the reality of the simple, objective unfairness of what's going on. Let's see what Maureene's got. Hey, Maureen, thanks for calling this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show.

a buzz at the gates. Is when we used to live in Hamilton County and lived in the kind of the middle of a forest on a few acres, and they were at at one of our gates, and they buzzed up and said that they needed to come in and it was on marked car and they needed to surveil our property for possible drug of being grown on the property. And so it's sure, come on up. I'd like to know about that. Yeah, so I said, but you'll need to come up the other gate because then

you'll have access to look around more. The other one was to the garage, so he said, okay, fine, he went to the other gate. I'm walking out the window, and I buzzed up that gate, and as soon as he started pulling through, four other police cars came from around the corner, two of them, one mark, two marked, and so they all came out, heavily armed and questioning

about surveilling the property. They see a significant amount They received the tip apparently from Duke Energy that did an aerial view of the power lines, the guest line and they lost a lot of marijuana growing. So I said, fine, go find out what's going on. Never for one minute did I think that they weren't being heavy handed they were doing their job, and I felt I didn't feel

like I was being profiled or targeted or anything. And as it turns out, that on we'd put a fence around our property and at the time we got anonymous letter from our neighbors saying, how can you put up the fence in a beautiful forest? Anyway, long story short, Now we know why they wrote that letter because they've been growing that for quite some time. But anyway, yeah,

so they did. I turned out thanking them for their service, and they sent us pictures of what they were able to take away, and they took care and handled it very professionally. But it can be skared at that time. But I feel like if you're not doing anything wrong, then then you might want to help them do their job.

I guess now it might be legal depending on the number of plants that are being grown, but still I would want to find that out and take some steps to eradicate the even possibility of that happening down the road. So I'm in your corner on that one, Maureen. A lot of people don't share that perception. They're like, the Constitution is what it is, and if you don't have a warrant, I'm not letting you on my property, And I think that just sets you up probably for something bad to happen.

fifty three right now. Time for final traffic chuck ingram.

many times that I've had conversations with him. So let's go to the phone and see what Jay's got this morning. He Hey, thanks so much for calling. Welcome to the show.

And you you are the first person I've heard that asked the great question of who in the hill is going to service this debt? If not for the Ohio taxpayersh is this Columbus government. Are they creating a product or service that we don't know about? I mean, they're definitely you're stepping into the banking role, in the financing role. I don't know why Ohio banks aren't coming on glued saying how are we going to compete with the state

of Ohio. They're going to be issuing bonds to give six hundred million dollars to a private business like the Cleveland Browns. I would think that their their stock would start to tank, and at fifth third and Chase and and the rest of them, which would start maybe banding together and saying if you're going to have to start competing with Ohio, you're in deep trouble. But I'm sick of the Republicans Party saying, don't worry about it, your taxes aren't going.

It's like putting on a credit card tab. So it becomes wine an ongoing line item in the in the in the annual budget that must the debt service has to be paid for, so that takes money away from some other project. But Jennifer Gross said that they don't have a revenue problem in Columbus. They have a spending problem.

And that's kind of what was boiled down. They don't want to make the tough decisions and say no, we can fund the broad roads, bridges and infrastructure, because that comes to the cost to other stuff they want to do well.

called infrastructure projects. And do you know if your infrastructure structure project is going to be covered by this new money that's going into this fund. The answer is no. And the idea that you're gonna have any control over it. That's going to go to your neighborhood, your committee, that bridge that needs servicing that has been falling apart, or that you had to reduce your load on, like one in Giagara County. She pointed out, Man Columbus has never

heard of Jeaga County. They don't have enough population to fund campaigns. All the big money is going to go to the larger communities, at least that's my perception. That's the perception of Jennifer Gross. Why we reward them and give them greater flexibility and well and you less make him go after the gas tax and and fix the roads with that. That's tough for work to do though

it makes their jobs more difficult. Coming up at eight fifty five, Kenkober FLP President on the tragedy of that deputy getting mowed down by the father of the the eighteen year old with a clock twenty three to forty caliber the extended magazine, who ran from police out of a stolen car and brandished the firearm at the police officer.
