55KRC Monday Show - Sharon Coolidge, Smitherman, Money Monday

Apparently not windfall, and that's not unusual. Although this year's sixty five million dollar leftover money going to a bunch of projects hand selected by the mayor and the city manager. And the balance of the money apparently you're not going to get any say on where it's going to go. Details from Sharon on that one, and then the updates the signs to give Kamala Harris credit for projects done around the city under the Inflation Reduction Act. Previously it's

Biden who's getting credit for Biden Harris. I'm going to change the signs, hurry up and change them, because I guess the messaging is so important in advance of the election next week that we're going to pay I don't know how many millions of dollars or whatever. Sharon have the details on that to change the signs. Biden Joe is Joe Biden still president. They haven't kicked him out yet, have they. Strecker now right, so the signs are still accurate.

That's shameless anyway. Apparently not everybody likes a new pick for since city council. A white heterosexual man reply a person of color in the LGBTQ community. So what white men are incapable of representing the constituents of the city of Cincinnati. Huh yeah, I end of Lacy if he was a little pissed off about that one, as are others. So Sharon Cooler's reporting and we'll see what she has to say. There's not anything you can do about it.

She was he was properly appointed. Pursue it to the process set up in the City of Cincinnati to replace folks who step down. So anyhow, but somebody's always complaining. Of course, Sharon's reporting on the complaining anyway, Christopher Smithvent an early start with Christopher Smithman. I guess he's got

a lot in his mind. We're gonna begin with Christopher's Monday Morning Smith event at seven point twenty, followed by Money Monday Brian James and seeing the number really hurts inflation and how it's hitting your grocery card groceries up twenty eight percent in just five years. I know you know that he knows that. That's why Kamala Harris can run around and talk about how awesome things are. We all go and fill our grocery carts every week or so.

I know we did it over the weekend again, my wife and I never ceases to amaze me how expensive things have gotten. So that one is in the queue there for Monday Mondy's Brian James fall by two in five US cardholders that be credit card holders are maxed out. That's not a good sign. And plus another unconstitutional student debt relief plan with an editorial comment from Joe Strecker Eye Roll heard that one before heavy Joe, I love

hearing from you. Five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk pound five fifty on eighteen and t phones, Hey, how about those Bengals can't win at home? Well, it was a sad, sad game, and we'd tell you what looked so great out of the gate, and just slowly and surely viraled into oblivion. So well, I was gonna say, we'll live to fight another day. But I don't know what The record that we've got right now anyway doesn't impact my

world directly? Now does it question? Whether it impact the stadium negotiations? Will the Bengals record have anything to do with the terms conditions negotiated by the upcoming council or other commissioners? And who will those commissioners be? Obviously got some choices over the trifecta Democrats controlling the county commissioners, and I certainly hope you consider the Republican options when you go in to vote next week or early vote as the case may be. A lodd of people have

been early voting lots. Apparently Republicans up pacing Democrats in the swing states as well. In that regard, how about that it's just yesterday that Democrats owned early vote voting, but apparently Republican voters have taken an early lead in critical swing states. Early voting data from Arizona, Nevada, and North Carolina showing a higher turnout among registered Republicans than Democrats. This is accorded reporting from Bloomberg Now. They say, and

point out the obvious. It cannot alone early voting predict election outcomes, but it does show voter enthusiasm, which was on full display in New York the other day at the Madison Square Gardens. They packed the place, sold out Madison Square Gardens, twenty thousand people. By all accounts, there was an equal number of people, if not more outside, sort of a two rallies going on at the same time in New York City. Oh my god, nineteen thirty nine all over again. You know what. That kind of

stuff just blows my mind. There was a rally in nineteen thirty nine in support of Adolf Hitler and the was it the National Socialist Party, wasn't it happtly name actually not fascism, but regardless dictatorial control from the top. Yeah, there were a lot of folks, I guess, in favor of Adolf Hitler and what he was trying to accomplish

in Europe. They did have a rally back in nineteen thirty nine, and the Democrats in their desperation pointing out the realities we're living in, going back to the massive amount of inflation just in the area of food, among other things, national death, the interest payments on that, the fact that we have just an ever expanding this bureaucracy that's overwhelming business with the regulatory state, on and on and on about all the defects and problems we have

in our country. They have to point to Donald Trump being a fascist. Just absolute stupidity. Read the damn definition. Please, I just you know, and that's insulting to you. For anybody out there has actually read the definitions of fascism and socialism and capitalism the various other forms of government quickly realized, you know, Donald Trump not a fascist. He's the one that wanted to get rid of the deep state.

He wanted to get rid of massive regulations. He was the one that drill baby, drill all across you know it up, dot, close it down, open it up. These are the exact opposite things that the Democrats want to do and have done. Literally, So read your definitions and point to the Democrats who accused Donald Trump of being a fascist that they're an ignorant when they make statements

like that. And speaking of prices of gasoline and oil, you know, California, Gavin News some recently signed some legislation and requiring refineries to sock away refine gasoline and store it. Now, do the refineries have the capability of doing that to the extent the legislation requires it? No, they don't. This is going to be a massive increase in cost of doing business for refineries in California. So what do they do.

They're going to stay and suck it up and abide by the legislation, or are they going to do what so many people in California and other Blue states have done, just pack up their bags and leave. Well, they're choosing the latter option. Phillip sixty six already announced they were closing its law Los Angeles refinery. That's eight percent of California's refining capacity. That's after the passage of this very expensive regulation requiring them to do all this additional storage.

Now it's Valero they say they may shut down two of their California refineries, which is fourteen percent of the state's gasoline production. And of course it's related to the potential closes because of the regulatory powers granted during a special legislative session, which again resulted in this law requiring

them to soock away extra refined petroleum California. California pays like, way, much, way, way more than you and I pay for gasoline, even though what you and I pay for it has probably perceived to be way too much, notably considering the price of gasoline. When Aham Joe Biden took office, California's oil production has been cut in half. Since two thousand and eight, was two hundred and forty nine million barrels, thirty eight

percent of what the state needs. Now it's down to one hundred and twenty four million barrels, which is only twenty three point four percent of the state's needs. Resulting in California, what are they running their cars on windmills and solar panels hydroelectric power. No, they still have the cars. So as the production domestic production, which means domestic jobs, union jobs too, I might point out for you union members out there considering which direction you want to vote.

Imports have surged sixty one percent of the refined I guess petroleum gasoline comes from countries like they say Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Ecuador, and Colombia. It was only forty eight and a half percent in two thousand and eight. Again going back to what Donald Trump proposes domestic production, stick refining and domestic employment. Why would we want to fund the East saudiast, Ecuadorians, Colombians and Iraqis if we can do it here and do it cleaner and do it safer

and without those pesky shipping costs. Yeah, I guess you know. They never take into account the cost the ship refined gasoline to the United States. They put them on a tanker. Tankers that maybe being shot at by Houthi rebels anyway.

Joe Patterson, a Republican of Rockland in California, When California Governor Gasam Neussen said in twenty twenty one he didn't see a future for oil in California, I didn't know twenty twenty four would be the year he ended it at lightning speed, said today, another refiner said all options are on the table with refiners here. We can thank Newsom's legislation exactly. You want inexpens of gasoline, you could

get it. You could get it right here. But folks like AVENUESOM and the Lufties in California decide no, you're not going to have it, and you know, the vehicle to get the price of gasoline to go up and for you to well find it yourself in an unaffordable, untenable position because they have manipulated the market via regulation. Right sounds a bit fascist to me. Five sixteen five cares DE talk station five one three seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three Taco

with TOME five fifty on at and t funds. Love to hear from you. Maybe you got something you want to talk about. I would love to hear about that. Regardless, I hope you can stick around right here at fifty five care CD talk station time for than nine first warning wealer forecast partly cloudy day today high seventy one oh night, partly cloudie sky, low of fifty eight. Tuesday is going to be a breezy, partly cloudy day, seventy eight overnight down to fifty nine with partly cloudy skies

and Wednesday mostly Sunday. I have eighty three right now, thirty seven degrees fifty five Careceiving talk Station five twenty A happy Monday to year five one three two three talk from our Next Wednesday, the day after the election, We're going to be at ron Zergus for listener to lunch. Oh my, you know, and I I think about that, and I want to be really, really positive. But I

hope we're there in a festive mood. You know, we can talk about the future any positive light or you know, deal with the aftermath to the extent Kamala Harris wins. You know, misery does love company, and it'd be nice to perhaps sharing a Dolt beverage with folks as we assess the aftermath of a blown outcome that didn't go in our direction, assuming that the vast majority of listener

lunch attendees want Trump to win, which I can only presume. Anyway, Ronzo is always good, So let's see the celebrator commiserate regardless together next Wednesday. I hope to see you there. And I know one of the concerns lots of people are expressing, and everybody I talk to, you know, more off the record than on the record, although people are feel free to call in. I know Bobby has his beliefs about what's going to happen in the aftermath of

the election. But many are expecting violence, and that really is very troubling and worrisome because what have we seen in the past. Violence where to come from? The vast majority of it from the left. Go through your litany of groups outside funded and otherwise that took to the streaks. You've got ANTIFI, Black Lives Matter, you know, the Palace

to Antiower, Anti Israeli camps. Many are expecting this is something I predicted a long time ago, and I hope to hell it and everything I've got, I hope it is not true that the illegal immigrants, you know, Donald Trump yesterday just over in Madison Square Gardens, I'm here, he said, I'm here by conk with a death penalty or any migrant that kills an American citizen law enforcement officer.

I will rescue every city in town that's been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail. Going to kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible, and expedite removals of Tredy Iragua and other savage gangs like MS thirteen, which is equally vicious I will invoke the alien enemy

zac As seventeen ninety eight. Now, obviously he is focusing on the criminal element of the illegal immigrant population, but you know, there's a whole lot of them, and if Donald Trump is threatening deportation on any level, that makes a huge number of folks who are by many people's accounts, probably going to become highly organized if Trump gets elected and take to the streets. It isn't a shocking prediction. I hope it's not true, though. Rass Newsen did a poll.

How likely is that there will be violent reaction after the election of Kamala Harris? Fifty one percent likely, twenty six percent very likely that will there will be a violence if Harris is elected. Rassmussen found this no the thirty eight percent not likely, eleven said they are not sure. Flipping it over, what about if President Donald Trump wins the White House? Forty seven percent said violence is likely, noted that's actually lower, twenty three percent said very, forty

four percent not likely, eight percent not sure. They also asked voters whether most this is a good good one here at least there's some bipart is an agreement out in the world generally, Whether most news media outlets report about politics in a way that tends to make America more united or more divided. Only ten percent said more united,

seventy nine percent said more divided. In terms of party breakdown, not too far away, you got eighty four percent of Republicans, seventy percent of Democrats, and eighty three percent of unaffiliated voters say the way that most news media outlets report about politics tends to make America more divided. See look

at that a whole full expression of bipartisanship. Now, if you ask the Democrats versus the Republicans, you put them in separate rooms, I'm sure they'd have different perceptions about how the media makes it more divided. Democrats are probably pointing over to Fox News, while Republicans can literally report to almost every other news media outlet to well prove

their point. Among those who said they planned to vote for Harris, seventy one percent said it's at least someone likely there'll be a violent reaction if the vice president wins, and fifty six percent of Trump voters says it's likely there'll be a violent reaction if the former president wins.

So a little more pessimism when it comes to Harris, when now that suggests that I suppose that all this baked into the media argument that these Republicans are violent extremists, are the ones going to be taken to the street. I haven't really seen any evidence of that. And there's somebody out in the audience going what about January sixth? And I say, yeah, what about January sixth? Did the election not get certified?

after living with it for so long. And rat News in terms of race, rast News and survey found of black voters more likely to expect violent reactions if Harris wins the election. Hispanics are more likely to think a Trump victory would provoke a violent reaction, So lots of folks anticipating it. Sadly, I'm one that's kind of leaning on that. I don't really truly believe that if Harris wins, that the Trump supporters will actually take to the streets.

But time will, in fact tell. Five six fifty five ko City Talk Station got some local stories to dive on into coming up next day right here, fifty five Karo City Talk Station.

me a little bit upset, certainly do me. Anyway, Let's go to the phone before we get the local stories. Thank you for calling this morning, Jeff, and a happy Monday to you. Happy thank you brother.

elements from Venezuela have taken over entire hotel buildings. That's a scary situation right there. I mean, that is scary. Thank you, thanks to the Biden Harris administration, a amber hunt since they enquired don't steal yard signs, Okay, it's illegal. She write's penalties are somewhat minor or less. The theft is on a broad scale, I guess coordinated efforts or one person going out and stealing hundreds of signs or something. Ohio thefts of the yard signs are misdemeanors until they

reached the one thousand dollars limit. Kentucky, most political sign thefts we classified as Class B misdemeanors. According to a piece written in twenty twenty two by Campbell Catty attorney Steve Friends and relied upon by Amber Hunt reddit thread this week discussing Cincinnati area thefts, some people are being a little creative on how to stop it from happening.

She referred to them as unsavory homemade options in an effort to mark, embarrass or inconvenience thieves, including coating yard signs with vasolene and glitter, spraying them with fox or deer yarine ooh, attaching trackers to them. It was a case from Missouri where someone did that, put an apple little tracker on it and was able to track down the person who stole the signs, as well as motion activated lights or cameras near the signs. So in the

final analysis, don't be that person stealing yard signs. You may be held accountable, and of course if you are, you're at least going to be revealed as perhaps someone who qualifies for the Biggest Duche of the Universe award. Here on the fifty five Case Morning Show, we got one person hospitalized early Saturday morning after his shooting. It over the Rye Corn of SINCINNTI. Police it was happening around one am and the fifteen block of fifteen hundred

block of Vine Street near Liberty Street intersection. Police set a person at life threatening injuries after the shooting. Didn't say if they had any suspects or what led up to the shooting. That's the most recent reporting we have on that seven year old is dead after police say they were hit by a forklift on private property in Carthage. Happened Friday afternoon. Said since a police officers responded the area of the two undre block or West North Bend

about three pm again Friday for the reported accident. Police says seven year old was hit by a forklift. Child was pronounced dead. I appreciate the WCPO reporting that sad tragedy. Here's another one. A five year old win Hills Academy student dead after he was shot during a drive by shooting in Winton Hills. Happened last Thursday morning. Courts in Saint Police on Holland Drive five o'clock in the Thursday morning, boy identified as Adogas stand for the third taking it

since Ay Children's Police said he died on Saturday. Since Say Public Schools issued to statements of the district's crisis response team is at the school on Thursday for students and needed additional support. Police haven't released any suspect information or any information about the vehicle used in the drive by shooting. It is still an investigation. If you have any information, please call crime Stoppers five one three three five two thirty forty three five two thirty forty You

remain anonymous. You're eligible for a cash reward if for Tipley's to unrest and Lord, do you need any incentive like a cash reward to get a drive by murderer of a five year old off the streets? Dennis, you're first out of the gate when I come back. If you don't mind holding for just a moment, I'll give you some good information Affordable medical imaging for CT scans, echo cardiograms, ultrasounds. You know it's just insane with the hospital imaging department charges. You know you got out of

pocket responsibility. You've got minimums you have to pay out of pocket, and let's just say, because it's open rollming, you're gonna be kicking in the beginning of the year your doctor as a CT scan. Do you have five thousand dollars in your bank account to just write a check to the hospital for that? Why you exhaust your nine thousand plus dollars of out of pocket responsibility? Of course, who does and who wants to and you don't have to. You have a choice when it comes to your medical care.

You can get a CT scan and affordable imaging services for four hundred and fifty dollars and it includes the radiologist report. You got a board certified radiologist report that you and your doc will both get within forty eight hours, exactly like mine did. Yes, the overhead is extraordinarily low, but you've got the same equipment and affordable imaging services professionals who've been doing this for forty years. And the image is gonna be fine. Mine was except for the

fact that revealed my cancer was growing again. But there's nothing wrong with the image of the report. Your doctor will say the same thing when they get it back, So don't pay two thousand dollars for an ultrasound, pay two hundred and fifty including the radiologist report. It's that way across the board. MRIs again, CT Scans, Eco, Cardigram's ultrasounds choice, call him up, schedule appointment five one three seven, five three eight thousand, five and three seven five three

eight thousand online. You can find them at Affordable Medimaging dot com.

And I noticed that the ballot was printed with a little bit of what looked like pen marks, like you might get with a pen that ran out of ink on the alternative candidate. So it kicked the ballot out, and I was told, first, oh, you can just let it go through. Everything else will be counted. Don't worry about the prosecutor's office at a provacation. Tell me about that.

I filled it out, and they just destroyed the old ones. So that, to me is a sign that the system is working. That the ballot had been printed with a flaw is terrible. And if it didn't catch it and they processed it and didn't count your vote like the apparently the poll workers suggested that's a problem, but at least it got kicked out.

I don't know. One is left to speculate in these trying times that perhaps that was done intentionally, But in the final analysis, you got one that worked that was not printed that way. So I think, you know, as long as you're willing to wait around for another few more minutes to get your ballot and do it again, that's the direction I go. So I kind of view it as a sign that the system actually worked for the most part, but for the ballot printing part. Pete,

welcome to the program. Happy Monday to you.

wait for Trump to get sworn in. They're going to hit this streets, they get the people all ginned up. There will be law fair. The Democrats have lawyers and thousands of them in every single state, and they will certainly run into court claiming the vote has been stolen. Sound familiar, Yeah, but it only depends on whose ox is getting gord. So I think you'll see a build up and then that will lead to a huge amount

of problems right around the certification time. And as we all know, as Vice President Kamala Harris will be responsible for certifying the vote, there's a lot of question marks swirling around out there whether she'll do it or not, Pence did it, will Kamala Harris do it? And a lot of protests and violence in the street would probably lead to the point where they're going to come up with some justification for her. Maybe not certify the vote.

Wait for the chaosk if your popcorn out, be prepared, folks. Just consider that so many people in the know are talking about it happening that you can almost guarantee that something is going to happen, and it will probably be life of disrupting for quite a few folks. Sha the call, my friend, I truly do. You can feel free to call us well, I'll be right back. When I mentioned Chimneycare fireplace and stove first, always thinking about safety before

equipment or along those lines. You can take that for what it's worth. But the other thing was was recently, I guess last week they are short on Republican poll watchers, and whoever was conducting the training or the meeting, whatever you want to call it, asked if there was any Democrats that would pose as Republicans as a poll watcher, so that there were will do that poll watcher not worker difference, right, Ye, exactly, yeah, there.

what end? I suppose you'd have to have, you know, some shenanigans go on that would require them or invite them to perhaps make interject themselves into the equation. But that's what the poll workers are supposed to deal with. That is a job of a poll worker to resolve any disputes there. I suppose maybe they'll be there in case a brawl breaks out, who knows, But yeah, I've got to maintain that distinction between watcher and worker. So it doesn't shock me though to hear that you that

someone said that. Anyhow, thank you very much for the call. Let's see, we got stack a stupid got a woman killed into what they describe as a freak accident and having at a Kansas airfield after she backed into a running airplane propeller while taking photos two what three pm Saturday over the weekend, says we kind of dispasto se to report about the accident. Having a Cook Airfield in Derby, Kansas.

Deputies got to the scene, they located the woman, believed to be in her thirties, who have been critically injured while taking photographs of people getting on and off planes that at the time, she backed into an active airplane propeller. She died at the at the site, taking to the local hospital in extremely critical condition, and later succumbed to

her injuries. Authorities currently investigating. Everybody expresses their condolences, of course, a go fund me page and another cautionary tale about paying attention to your surroundings when you're taking photographs, especially

when there are propellers around.

According to The Washington Post, her husband survived, taking into the Nepaul hospital

It seems that people have this warped idea of vegans being malnourished and weak, she said. By climbing in the seven Summits, we want to prove that vegans can do anything and more. No, thank your dad.

Sharon Cooleidge, good you have back on the program. I hope you're well. Good morning, Cincinatti dot COM's refriend share.

not it's inappropriate use of art taxpayer dollars. But what you point out in the article is a little disturbing to me is that they, I mean, as you describe it, this carryover creates a quasi fall budget process without the special evening budget hearings where counsel, even where council invites the community to find out what the constituents want, they just kind of go on their own and decide on their own where this money goes.

a presentation that you can find in the system. This is a lot of money and has a lot of plans with this, taking the city in different directions, and I think that people really have a right to know.

was supposed to be an overhaul of commercial development abatements. Meanwhile, because everyone else is paying property more property Texans than ever before, stop me if you've heard that one before, ye, so come at that time. Then they never do anything. The residential abatements was so hard to get through and approve and change anything. They do nothing with the commercial abatements. Then the futurest Commission comes out and that really says

we need one hundred million dollar fun housing. Housing. Housing is, of course, you know, very business friendly, and we do need housing. I will never not say that I get that we need affordable housing, meet all kinds of housing, but this is not what the citizens have said. They want that. They want to give it to developers just to build housing. And on top of that is I'm big into transparency. I want to know every time they give money to developers.

ability to meet ones. You know, day to day expenses is something that happens to every single resident in the city of Cincinnati largely.

It's not going to guarantee that it's coming here. So the money's gone whether or not Cincinnati gets the Sundance.

are secrets, you know. They kind of come from the jobs, entities and things like that. And so they're trying to so we all spend that money and less Sundance gets here. And they are talking about a gigantic economic impact. And an interesting thing about Sundance is just not the film festival. But they moved their whole headquarters here and all of the regular jobs to come with Sundance, and so I think there's a lot more to explore here on that,

but it goes with the same thing. It's like, just say, just say when you're putting forward to spending.

windfall for Green Project Fund. I got a million dollars to help citizens, you know, make their homes more energy efficient, a quarter of a million for training workers to do green focused home assessments. And what disturbed me most was a half a million dollars to create a green Bank, which you described as an office that will serve as a pass through for federal money given to the state.

So we have another layer of bureaucracy and another layer of employee salaried workers to help facilitate federal money getting out into the community.

Five hundred million dollars is going to be given to the state, and he wants Cincinnati to be up and ready to go. So you have to have all this preparatus kind of like requirements related to the money from the state and the federal government. And he's like, will be the only one ready to go, and so that first bite of the apple, we could stand to get a lot of money from it. Is kind of his point.

wonderful folks. Will take great care of you. It all starts with a free roof inspection, and they'll do that if you call them up to do some different projects, like I want new siding on my house. That's what my friend Steve said. They inspected his roof when they were over there and lo and behold, oh you got some problems up here. Obviously you couldn't see them, but those latent problems could have gotten really bad for Steve. So if they were able to take care of that

for him, he was so pleased. Referred them to his son who was gushing water down during that most recent torrential downpar You know, he told call fast and Pro Roofing. After you put the bucket underneath it, get the water. He figured, yeah, you're going to take you break, maybe three days for them to get out there. They were out there in the rain taking care of that leak. I mean, that's just immediate customer service and that's the kind of thing you can expect from these folks. A

plus with a better business. Beeer locally owned and operated, probably serving the area since nineteen ninety nine. They do gutters, gutter guards. We'll clean your gutters out.

and commercial. And it's superior work. I assure you of that, including custom metal work five one three seven seven four ninety four ninety five for that free inspection five one three seven seven four ninety four ninety five. Online it's fasten FST and Fastenproroofing dot Com.

over talk about political perspectives, this is shameless. It doesn't matter which side of the political edge you're on in terms of spending taxpayer dollars to change the naming of the signs crediting Joe Biden for upcoming road projects and substituting that with Kamala Harris's name. Sharon, I must observe Joe Biden's still president, and if he's still president, does shouldn't he still get credit for the projects being done,

even if it's necessary to give someone credit for it? Sharon, So, I.

And this was really flowing down and nobody really made any secret about this. They all the US Department of Transportation, the White House itself, like spokespeople for these agents. You feel like, this is about transparency, this is what we're going to do.

We know that, but you know, when you're reading these messages coming in from different sources, there was a lot there.

But that really irks some people, including folks on the NAACP, expressing disappointment and profoundly disheartened by her decision to appoint apparently a white guy. It's a harmful message. Are we looking for competence and capability. By all accounts, he does have the competence and ability to be council member.

twenty twenty one, this is the overhaul of council. Right, they're on the heels of corrupt. Everybody's going to be all new, everyone's term limited out. The citizens for the very first time chose a majority black city council and that was very important in the black community. But then you look at the makeup of who council is and it almost is like the slaves kind of carried the day. So this was a very interesting mix of people put

forward by the Democratic Party, a very balanced council. But when you look at what citizens did when they went in the ballot box, the top five vote getters were the black members of council and that, and so they're kind of like, this is what citizens said, Meika, and by the way, you benefited from the slate yourself, and so that's kind of their points. They're like, we are interested in this, but we are representing the citizens, and this is what the citizens said. So that's kind of

the argument that's being made. However, Meka is the sole decision maker, and I think we're going to see a change in how appointments this company, you know, for some reason can't fulfill their duties. I think that we will see a change to that process.

A million dollars for pedestrian safety and a bike program initiatives to be used when needed safety problems arrived half a million dollars to help pay for a mortar headquarters building, apparently more to provides training and support from minority owned businesses. It's building a new headquarters in Walnut Hills. Seems we have a lot of empty buildings in space that might be utilized. I don't know. I don't know who's riding their bike to the ballet, Joe,

I really don't. I don't think people wear tuxes to the ballet anymore. It's twenty twenty four. I imagine you see a lot of jeans and sweaters these days. A million three in capital Reserve projects. So you got more than half a million dollars for repairs of Cincinnati parks, quarter of million dollars for keep Cincinnati Beautiful so they

can acquire their own headquarters. On top of a quarter of million dollars they got last year speed cushions for Coleraine Avenue, more than three hundred thousand for City Hall

They're going to be used that money to create a break room for say, the staff, and to revamp a presentation room where they hold press conferences half a million dollars now that we have to pay that we don't we didn't used to have to pay because rather than sell the new police firearms back to Smith and Wesson, Uh, they're going to be destroyed now at a cost of a half a million dollars for acquiring

new police handguns uh and not reselling them. So they dug you into the whole half a million dollars to virtue signal about gun violence or something one point four million for Talburt House, which I guess I can understand, and a whole multitude of others, including funding for CINCINNT police officer pay, firefighter pay. They've thrown some money at the pension, although I don't know that it is anything

Whether it's fishing or hacking or you know, denial of service attacks or just outright manipulation, it's possible. And because it's possible, it shouldn't be part of the equation or the voting process. Dnash. Always appreciate you staying on top of this, my friend. I appreciate you calling

this country. It's the one great equalizer literally for every person out there in the world. I usually, you know, regularly you think about that ninety pound woman who was attacked and she had a firearm, and guess what she was able to fend off a six foot plus couple of plus hundred guy. That's what we need, the ability to defend ourselves. And by taking that away, of course, you have to turn to government and local law enforcement

resources in order to have safety. You're gonna wait around for nine to one one to call up somebody's kicked in the front door of your house. I don't want to be in a position like that. But it's the ridiculous part, though, is what you've glombed onto. They focus on gun violence because they want to take away your guns. It's really the ultimate great equalizer and why they want to do that. And we live in a country of what five hundred million or so firearms, more firearms than

every man, woman, and child in the United States. Compare to the number of firearms to the number of you know, crime committed with them, you can see very clearly that the vast, vast majority of firearm owners are law abiding citizens, either using those firearms for hunting, for the shooting sports like I use, and or personal protection bus You know, millions of armed citizens are a little difficult thing to put the hammer down on if you are an oppressive government.

Check the number of military resources there are, the number of people serving in the military plus the National Guard collectively all added together, and assuming they would all be on the rights on the side of government oppressing you, you still way outnumber them. And know, it doesn't matter that they have f sixteen fighter jets, because I really seriously doubt they're going to be dropping bombs on large neighborhoods. You know what I'm saying.

Sea dot com. Yes they had a windfall and extra sixty five million dollars left over from the budget. It's worthy looking into what a council has decided to spend it on and of course they didn't consult with you. What else is coming on? A lot of people talking about voter fraud this morning, quite a few calls related to it, and a couple of stories connected with that. Nothing to do with electronic vot but of course voter registration forms to go to Pennsylvania, very important, all critical

state for the election. Investigators found twenty five hundred voter registration forms submitted in two massive batches, sixty of which the investigators say are fraudulent. All of these batches were submitted to Lancaster County, apparently the largest county in Pennsylvania, at least in terms of voter numbers. Official say the work of a large scale canvassing operations. Not yet revealed who's behind it. I'll let you draw your own conclusions

on that. Roughly twenty five hundred applications hit near Pennsylvania October twenty first registration, near the twenty first registration deadline, so it was a big application ballot gathering effort. People were out, It was paid folks going out and getting people to submit applications. Application processors were immediately alarmed when they saw all these massive batches showing up multiple applications

with the same handwriting and signatures. Red flag. Many forms filled out on the same day, and applications were previously registered voters whose signatures on the forms didn't match the ones on file, prompting a police investigation. Lancaster County detectives confirmed many of the applications were indeed fraudulent, indications of fraud including inaccurate addresses, false personal identification information, false names, names that didn't match the social Security numbers on the forms.

Some cases, many they say forms had accurate data, but the supposed applicant told detectives that they had neither requested nor completed the forms. Also confirmed the signatures were not there as an all against sixty percent vetted so far found to be fraudulent, Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams

in a statement LASO Friday during a press conference. It's believed that the fraudulent voter registrations are connected to a large scale canvassing operations for voter registrations that date back to June. The majority of the applications received or dated August fifteenth and after those canvassing for voter registrations were employed and paid to obtain voter registration applications. She noted the canvassing operation primarily took place at shopping centers, parking lots, parks,

grocery shores, sidewalks, and businesses. The fraudulent activity took a variety of forms, from completely bogus applications, the ones where real voter had started to register but then decided not to go forward with that, but ended up having their applications submitted for them anyway. Hmmm. District attorney said forgery of an application, which we have seen evidence of, would be a felony of the third degree, punishable laptist seven

years in prison in a fifteen thousand dollars. Frimeh also said the fraud appears to be an organized effort at this point, and noting that two other Pennsylvania counties investigating similarly suspicious batches of registration applications showing up. Now it could be a RICO charge. You got organized criminal activity is a third degree felling. That's criminal. You've got multiple people working together to achieve the project applications turning in.

Maybe someone will get prosecuted. I'm not going to hold my breath for it, but at least they're on it, which gives me some measure of comfort. The question is what other states are doing and are they paying well as close attention to things like this happening as they were in Lancaster County and also in terms of election security.

The Chinese hackers, as well as other international hackers apparently added again reported that the hackers targeted the phones of Donald Trump JD Vance along with Vice President Kamala Harrison people that are affiliated with her. Hackers believe to be tied to the Chinese Intelligence Service. Wall Street jenneral. Reporting on this one, investigators notified a bipartisan group of politicians

targeted by the hackers. A number of prominent Democrats in Congress among the targets, including staffers Senior Majority Leader Chucky Schumer Huh. They said the scope of the attack has grown substantial, at least what they know about has grown in the recent weeks as their investigation expands. Investigators now believe those hackers gained access to US telecommunications infrastructure and targeted or compromised at least several dozen companies and people.

They called their activity unusually aggressive since being discovered last month. Hackers have attempted to re enter patched systems after being kicked out of them previously. So we discover a hack, we eradicate it, and then they're back at it again. This is something they've had. It brings up all the time. This is twenty four hour day, seven day week operations the Chinese Communist Party has in place, but they're not

the only ones, said. The boldness of the hackers' activities, the vast of the espionage, and the timing of the attacks weeks before the presidential election has some officials worried about the possibility of a far more significant effort to interfere or disrupt with the election. Experts tracking foreign influence efforts say the day's right before the election are the most vulnerable to attack is the proximity to voting leaves

little time to mount a response. Going back to Danesh's comment, we've known about these problems, well, at least that he was referring to now, for more than a decade. It sounds like anything been done to fix the coding issues and the electronics software. That's a field that I'm not naturally necessarily familiar with, although I do read the reports that people have posted out there, Doctor Corsi and others. Does ra a significant amount of concern in my brain.

I wish I had more computer programming wherewithal to understand the nature of the problem. But that it is a problem is what bothers me. One person in the response to this Chinese hack, they're taunting us. What is the diplomatic messaging behind them doing them showing us that they're doing it and continuing to do it after they're caught. The brazenness of the operation, the person said, marked a new frontier and how the Chinese government is leveraging cyber

activity against the United States. FBI, in a separate statement Friday, confirmed it was investigating what they called unauthorized access to commercial telecommunications infrastructure by Yes the Chinese Communist Party. Statement was the first formal acknowledgment by the US government about this massive breach, so I say. Recently, the White House has convened what they're calling highly confidential meetings to assess the damage of the compromises, which include intrusions into Verizon

AT and T and Lumen Court. To the statement from Verizon, spokesman Rich Young said, we're aware of the highly sophisticated Nation State actor has reportedly targeted several US telecommunications providers to gather intelligence so that their company was working with law enforcement to assess and remediate any potential impact. No conclusive statement on whether it has been fully addressed and

fully remediated. We all know one thing's for sure. They're out there, and to the extent I'm not saying they can because they don't know, but to the extent they could get into the computer voting and manipulate the vote, I think it's a pretty safe thing to say that

they will. But going back to the point that was made earlier, that I made earlier, if the vote can be manipulated, and our US lettered agencies are saying that the Russians want Trump to win, and we don't know necessarily what the Iranians want, Probably they want him to lose, and we don't know what the Chinese want. I think they just want to stir dissent and maybe confusion about the outcome of the election. If it can be manipulated,

it could go either way. So if Trump has declared the winner, are you going to take comfort in that? Or do you think the thousands of Democrat lawyers in literally all fifty states are going to hit the ground running with their lawsuits in court to attack the integrity based upon what we know about the potential maybe even ability for the systems to be hacked.

And I think that's why people like yourself and me and others are saying bank your vote, vote early, so we can identify who those low propensity voters might be, move move out of the way, so that campaigns who are interested, like a Melissa Powers, you know, she was running for Hamilton County prosecutor life support, she can knock on your door and say, hey, it's the Monday before the election.

And that's why you see people crawling over mudpiles down in North Carolina, coming out of the hills, doing anything and everything that they can do to get to the polls. They are serious. In North Carolina, people were like, oh,

we don't know whether they're going to vote. Oh, they're voting in North Carolina, and they're voting in places like Georgia. They remember the Lake in Riley situation. You don't have to tell them about open borders and what happens. One of their citizens was murdered just jogging from a college campus. So this election is very different. People are motivated for

a lot of different reasons. I think this conversation you and I are having about bank votes, you're seeing most likely more conservative voters who are saying I'm a traditionalist, I'm going to vote on election day, changing their minds saying I'm going to vote early, bank to vote and allow the campaigns to know who voted and who didn't.

in every corner waiting for the clan to come. For these politicians to lower themselves to use political points to talk about a terrorist organization that put terror on African Americans in the South with the Dixiecrats is absolutely insane and outrageous. I am, I can't believe how low these people are willing to go to divide us around race and identity politics. It's an election. Half of America aren't KKK members and Nazi members, And the people that went

yesterday were incredibly diverse, Latinos, African Americans. People had the Israeli flags for Hillary Clinton. And any talking point on any of these mainstream media outlets to describe what happened yesterday other than some political rally, which is what it was, and to describe it as a KKK met place, a KKK gathering, or a Nazi gathering. Now, let me be

clear what anti Semitic people look like. They look like the college kids that were on these liberal college campuses marching around with Hamas flags, climbing, taking the American flag down, raising the Hamas flag, putting tints up everywhere. And we didn't hear from Hillary Clinton, she did not denounce that behavior. As a matter of fact, we didn't hear from Bill Clinton, former president. We didn't hear from any of the talking boys.

We didn't hear from former President Barack Obama. When these people on the college campuses, the Ivy League campuses that they attended, were flying Harma's flags and saying anti Semitic things, there was nothing yesterday that equated to Hitler. And so to call another candidate Hitler is so outrageous and so over the top. Every American should be denouncing it this morning.

No matter what your political affiliation is, no matter who you like or you don't like in this election, half of America are not KKK members and Hitlers.

understands who the KKK were. That makes no sense. It's one thing to say I don't like former President Trump because I think he's arrogant, because I think he says things that are outrageous. Right that you can there's enough material out there for you to criticize, in my opinion, former President Trump. There's enough material for you to sit back and and look at the Vice President Harris and

criticize her on the marriage. Maybe thinks that she did when she was the Attorney general are things she didn't do regarding the southern border. But to start putting putting things into races and calling people hitler and KKK members, it is absolutely outrageous, and by the way, it puts former Donald Trump's line more on the line today when they come out with that rhetoric, what are they gonna

do when somebody tries to assassinate him again? When you start doing what are they gonna do on November the sixth if he wins the race? So on January twentieth, are you gonna now say you're now swearing in a

KKK member or you're swearing in hitler. Many they don't understand that their rhetoric matters, and their leadership is absolutely in the gutter this morning, and I have to respond to it with the strongest language that anybody could ever hear me, say, go out vote, participate in the political process, bank your vote, make sure your your language is matching

what is really happening. The United States is having an election and the world is watching we are not going to elect on either side a communist or Hitler or a fascist. It's in a damn election and half of the country is supporting one candidate and the other half of supporting the other. And at the end of the day, we will have an orderly transition of power like we always have had. But I want to speak to this former Donald Trump is not Hitler and he's not a KKK member.

go through a primary hand selected. She's got nothing to run on. She is running away from little everything she once strongly stood for. And now every time she's gone on television since she was anointed or has it, has been interviewed by anyone, she can't even give you a straight answer on any topic. Whatsoever. Every time she comes

on her poll numbers fall. Why because someone out there in the world is actually expecting her to answer a question, how is your administration going to be different from what we've been living under four years, which right now sucks for literally everybody? No response? You know, where are you on immigration? Where are you? I mean it's fracking is another joke issue you can't get.

this run. People are hurting right now. Look, brother, you know that I'm a financial planner and I can tell you my clients are being laid off quietly across a number of industries, and they're taking distributions from their IRA accounts to live and they are not fifty nine and a half and going out there and trying to find a six figure job once you're a middle manager and

you've been laid off, is very difficult. I have situations where both the husband and wife have lost their jobs, and so whether they're getting a six month separance or not, or a three month separance. When you get your January of next year, those Americans who've been laid off are going to be struggling. They're voting their posablek Brian Thomas, that's all their voting. They're trying to figure out how

they're going to pay their bills. And they understand that this government is releasing their reserves in order to bring down oil prices. And we know what's going to happen to fuel on November sixth as we go into January. I mean, we're not dumb. We understand there's an election and all of a sudden, Unletted gat its gases down to two point fifty five a gallon. Come on, man, you're releasing all of the oil, all of our reserves that were supposed to use for an emergency for an election.

We're smart.

rather our carbon producing products like gasoline engines. See, they create the problem and then they come to the rescue to try to solve it by tapping into the strategic padrolling oilserve and putting us in greater jeopardy if there is in fact something that goes on in the world that makes us need our own oil reserves just to buy votes, it's so obvious.

energy prices would be a lot low. That's why Donald Trump's promising to drill baby. It's an old line, drill baby, drill. But the point being, we've got it, let's access it, let's bring the price down. Nothing is going to stop us from using petroleum products in the near future at all. I mean, you want a plastic bottle, guess what, you need oil out of the ground to make that, among thousands of other products, including gasoline.

environmentally conscious while you do it. But to say I'm just gonna shut it down has us in a precarious situation. And I think that most people out there Brian, when they're thinking about this, they understand that the way food and goods get to us is still our truck drivers out there. And guess what when when diesel is that six and seven dollars a gallon. By the way, if you're riding around and you're listening to me right now, we need you to participate and vote, make sure that

you vote and participate in the process. But those truck drivers that are out there, they know that they were paying six dollars a gallon for diesel. What do you think they're gonna eat it? No, they pass it on. That's what we call inflation. And that's what you hear. That's what you hear the candidate saying, I'm gonna lower the prices of fuel. And by the way, when I do that, it's going to impact the economy in so many different ways. We're gonna be able to bring down

inflation at a much lot more of a rapid pace. Chris, really what you hear with that articulation.

it's the truth. So I draw the parallel between the abortion issue Ohio as the same as the gambling issue. Most people don't care if you gamble, why not have gambling? Vegas has had it for years, Rena has got it. Look, they got it over in Southeast India. How about us?

They don't look behind the window dressing of what it was, which was establishing specific casinos and basically a cartel thing like that original marijuana legalization bill which we rejected because well it handed over the money to a hand select people ahead of time. But they want abortion, so like, okay, I think they vote for abortion now. So far as Issue one's concerned, completely different thing people will usually and we did. There was a research analyst from UCE on

last week on my show. If it's really complicated and people don't know anything about it, they tend to vote no, just as a knee jerk reactions like I don't get it, So I'm going to keep the status quo. But maybe a lot of people on that one. But there's been a lot of advertising coming in talking about how awesome Issue one's going to be, and people may be swayed by that and not have read the language or understand the ramifications for it in Ohio, and Issue one isn't

necessary at least on its face. A blue or red thing. Oh, it's about Jerry Manning. It's about Jerry Manning. We've been to court so many times. He's jerremanding these politicians and you know, favor in their own best interests. Blah blah blah. Well that's all this this independent committee's going to be, except they won't be accountable to the voters of the state of Ohio. Voters should rejected for that reason alone.

But then when you read it, you're like your eyes glazed, They're like, what the hell, how complicated the process is, and how all kinds of nefarious opportunities exist within it? And then move away from it and you find out, yes, in fact, is a real solid blue backed issue. We've got foreign money from the Swiss guy that's whatever the

hell his name is. Sorry, Marien, I forget it, but you know, twenty million dollars of his money, all the Stark money coming in, all the Democrat organizations, from teachers' unions across the board support it. Why because we live in a red state in Ohio. Now, they can't win at the voting box. So what they want to do is change the district so that better benefits the Democrat candidates and gives them a better shot of winning when

they otherwise couldn't lose. So that one, it's sort of a political on its face, but it is very political when you look who's behind it and the motives behind it.

So that's my analysis, Wayne. So yeah, you know, abortion isn't an R or D issue, and I know you know people on the Republican side of the ledger that do favor some access and rights to an abortion and the Democrat Party, oh that's the that's the first that's what they run on, which is really eerie, ghoulish and weird, but they do own the party of protecting abortion rights and Republicans historically have owned trying to protect the interest

of life. So that's again, it's a far more political issue, but in terms of crossing political boundaries, abortion quite typically does. That's my take and I gotta stick with it, Wayne, That's all I got. Were out of time in this segment. Sorry, Carl, can't get to your call. We got money Monday with Brian James coming up after the top of the Our News. I hope we can stick around every day. The most

important day is election day. You're going to hear every single bit of information when you we like to listen fifty five KRS this report talk about what they're doing keeping him in court all day on fifty five KRC. Heyto five. If you're a fifty five cars Get Talks station. Very happy Monday to you. Except for Bengals fans or a little upset or that snatching defeat from the jaws of victory yesterday, Welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show. It is Monday, which means this time for

money Monday, all Worth Financials. Brian James returns to talk about food prices. To start with, Welcome back, my friends. Always good talk having you on the show.

price increase for eggs. I don't know that there's hands that can be laid on that problem, but that seems to be one of those active God things which is out of the hands of politicians. The price of diesel fuel, however, is within the realm of fixability. And of course, the price of diesel impacts the price of literally anything that has to be shipped, like food, and it has increased

dramatically twenty two percent since twenty twenty. And if we drilled more or refined more, the price wouldn't necessarily go down. But let's talk about some of these other factors. Brian James.

around the country. Obviously, fuel cast fuel cost more, as you just reference to. Beef prices were driven up, for example, by drought and high green prices. Rising interest rates have also reduced it reduced the size of cattle herds because you know, farmers tend to mortgage their cattle just like we mortgage our homes to just as a way of doing business. Supply chain disruptions, of course, have been a thing. We don't need to be beat that to death anymore.

Other than the one big point to remember is I remember this from fifth grade social studies. Ukraine was always known as the bread basket of the world. Well that's a thing now of course, because it's the bread basket isn't as big as it used to be thanks to the war over there, so that's going to drive things up. But I think, Brian, I think that the big one out there that we don't talk about much because I think we're really too scared to deal with it, is corporate profitability.

the movement of prices. But at the same time, I can't help but wonder if every time there's a scary headline, somebody in a boardroom somewhere says, you know what, I bet we can squeeze some profit margin into this and people won't notice.

It's not necessarily nutritional. But people can make choices and just choose not to buy it, which, of course that's according to the data that's in here. People have done. It's like I will not abide. And then they go back to, well, if we can't get people to buy it at that, we'll just shrink the number of ounces from a twelve ounce bar down to a nine and a half ounce bar. It it'll appear as though the price has gone down, but actually you're getting less quantity

from the money paid. I mean, we're smarter than that. We can see that. It doesn't take rocket sciences figure that that shift in packaging size.

I can give you a quick example just from our house. Now, this is a while ago, back when the kids were eating baby food, these little fruit bar things that they loved, well, one of them fell behind the shelves and sat there for several years, and then when we finally cleaned it out, I found it and I realized that the fresh ones from last week that were sitting on the shelf were literally about two thirds the size of the one that had fallen behind the shelves and sat there for three years.

But to the point did we stop buying them? No, because that was a convenience factor for us. We grumbled about it, for sure, but the kids liked them. We didn't have to argue. It was a quick snack for them, and it wasn't the normal garbage that they that they usually want. So we swiped their credit card anyway. And that's that's kind of you know, if you've got the ability to do it, you may not want to, but

you still do it anyway. And I think that's a way for that the companies can lean into again continuing to squeeze that profit margin out because they know we're not going to change drastically. Americans aren't too excited about sacrifice.

get so big. Right, You don't have mom and pop grocery stores anymore for the large part, because they simply can't afford it to compete with the Kroger's and the Walmarts of the world that can function and declare success at a two to three percent profit margin. So profit margins doubling it doesn't look like a big number. But again, my only point of this, like you said, you already referenced it is that the profit margin is the American way. I often use the phrase United States a profit margin

because we are all about the stock market. We're all about what are the investments we're making worth and all that kind of thing. Uh and and this is what drives it so and I don't and I will make no you know, no bones about it. I personally have benefited from the stock market what it has done over the last you know, several decades, and that's a core part of it. But it's just like anything else, we can take it too far and it leaves a mark.

on you. They're they're working for you, they're they cost more now too. So restaurants have seen it from both directions.

personally from a twenty five dollars per hour salary. But that means that the particular restaurant's going to have to increase the price of what they're selling to cover the increase in.

has been over. The quantities are lower, the price is much higher, and I got to tell you, the quality almost across the board has really suffered. I don't know if it's the workers that are cooking it or what that's coming from, but I have been really, really disappointed in a whole lot of carry out over the over quite some time.

the same. I'm not at the point yet where I'm willing to abandon the ones I've found that are still okay, But I feel like that I feel like the clock's ticking.

full warranty on parts and service. You want a highly trained ASU certified Master technician working on it, someone that has data access to your manufacturer's technical ability. But you don't want to pay what the dealer charges for it. And like Brian and I were talking about, prices of parts for repairs have gone up as well, supply chain issues and disruptions and all that. So you want to

look at your bottom line. That's why you want to consider, and I strongly recommend taking your car into foreign exchange. I choose the Westchester location where Austin and his highly highly trained skilled mechanics work on my various cars, my wife's mind, my daughter's and since she just acquired a Nissan to replace her destroyed thank you dear jumping out on an expressway Mazda, She too will be experiencing the foreign exchange difference getting a car fixed happily so with

that warranty and paying a lot less money. That's what it's all about, save money foreign X dot com form the letter X dot com Westchester to find Austin and the crew. That's a Tylersville exit off of seventy five. Go east to Kingland Drive which is just two streets. Hang a right, you're there. That's thirty eight thirty seven

the bridge. Chuck Ingram on fifty I had Karos the talk station.

both of them lost their jobs. He was talking about how difficult you know, let's say you're you're not at fifty nine and a half, you can't retire. Yet, let's say you're fifty, you lose your situation, a little difficult to go out and find a six figure job at age fifty after you've gotten a customer that kind of salary. And it's even worse when both both a husband and wife or partners as the case may be, of lost

their situation due to down economic times. And that's got to be a difficult situation for someone as a financial planner because you always caution, as do all of them do anything but dip into your four oh one K savings because of the penalties that can be you can be hit with, and of course your lost opportunity to continue enjoying the time value of money and compounding interest.

But I think reflected in this story that you want to bring up people maxing out their credit cards in order to get around that situation.

expenses have increased. About thirty eight percent of them said that it was some kind of emergency that they had to stick on a credit card. Well, what do we talk about there all the time, Brian. You got to make sure you got oil in the engine. That's the emergency fund. Got to have liquid cash on the side so you can avoid this. About a quarter of them said it was related to a job or some form of income that disappeared unexpectedly and they had to shift

their normal expenses to your credit card. And then about twenty two percent say it was medical costs. So all of these things though, Brian, or there are things that are unavoidable. Stuff is going to happen. That's the way life works, every inch of it, Every single one of these topics can be addressed with that emergency fund making sure there's cash off to the side. That's a conversation

I have with every single one of my clients. And more importantly, they're kids who haven't been through a lot of the crazy yet that older people have seen, so they haven't seen the full economic cycle and what can happen. But it is extremely important to make sure you know, and I always tell people, figure out what you spend over a six month period, and it's not that hard. I'm not asking you to put together a budget frequently. I'm just saying, hey, let's look at your take home pay.

If you're married, let's look at your take home pay of your spouse to what hits the bank. That's your input, and then your output is everything that that moves around and leaves something behind, the difference between what comes in and what's left over. That's what you spent. Multiply that by at least three or six something like that months, and then you'll have a good amount for emergency fund. Stick it in a highyield savings account. Check that box

that you've accomplished that goal. Then you can think about the longer term pace.

was the environment I grew up in as well. So we have always always put off buying stuff that we think we want if we really couldn't quite afford it, or you were going to have to put them on a credit card and pay these outrageous credit card debts. You know, another day we'll come down the road when it within the realm of affordability. But always ask that question,

do you really truly need it? Whatever it is. I know we live in a consumer driven economy and it's easy to get caught up in things like designer bags or whatever. I'd love to pick on those, But do you really need it? And you can find a lot of ways in places in your budget where you can save that money and have that padding, just because you don't react in a consumptive way as your immediate reaction. Yeah, I think if that's a habit that's a healthy habit

to put in place. It's no different than eating better, exercising regularly. Once you've built the habit, it's less of a challenge to achieve in the future. So I think back when you know, when we were young and just getting started. Yeah, I wanted the nicer car. I wanted you know, making money. I should do these things right, it can afford it.

we eventually almost kind of hit delibrium. I'll be honest, I can't remember the last time we had a discussion where, you know, where is this do we really want to stretch to do this? It just doesn't come up. We've kind of settled into our routine and we don't really have money conversations or arguments.

I know, searching for a lower inch credit card and transferring a balance as one, But anything else you have a recommendation on.

And what I'm hearing more and more is people who have maxed this stuff out, but it's still they still have a strong credit score, and they still are getting these zero percent balance of balance transfer offers while they're paying twenty five twenty seven percent.

balance transfer offer if that's your situation. Keep the interest rate down and you'll be able to get back on top of it. If you let it get to twenty five twenty seven percent like the banks are hoping, you'll never get out from under that burden.

hard at work running the printing press. Of course, that money translates it to speaking of credit card debt, the amount of money we have to pay a debt service which is now more than we spend on military. So as long as they're running the press, our money doesn't go nearly as far. So I think that is a valuable point worth bringing up as we pivot over to, oh, look, something that might run the printing press more. For giving four point five billion dollars in student debt for public

service workers. That's kind of insulting, isn't it.

have said it by now. But I don't hear anything from Donald Trump about cutting sufficiently government spending or outlays in that regard, so pivoting over they are trying to buy some votes on I can't characterize it any other way than this, you know, as someone who did go to college, and I think my parents, every single all the time, is the gift of life, the best gift they ever gave me, And the gift of education comes

in right at number two. I was fortunate enough to have them there to cover my college debt, but they paid it off and I still feel as though if I hadn't gone to college, and my tax dollars are being used to forgive other people's going to college. You know, what about people who went in the trades? What about those who paid off their loan, you know, properly and under the contract that they signed promising to do it. It seems to me this is something that would alienate

more people than actually bring them into the fold. But what do I know?

people who are just outside that window? Aren't we going to have to have having set that precedent, Aren't we going to have to have that conversation again and again

and again. Now all of a sudden, we're ultimately offering free college education, which was never the goal, of course, But if we've set the precedent that the government is going to pick it up and wipe the debt away, we're completely ignoring where the problem comes from in the first place, which is runaway tuition cost the cost of getting an education.

As always, Brian, I'll look forward to another conversation next week. Yeah, sir, talking in one week. Have a great week eight thirty six. Right now if you have Kcity toxation phone lines are open. If you got a comment, feel free to call. Don't know which direction I'm going to go we get back from the break, but some direction and you can feel free to steer at five one, three, seven, eight hundred eighty two three talk pound five fifty on AT and

T phones. I'll be right back after these brief words.

over by any stretch of the imagination. So we'll get him back next week. Go to the phones and see what Carl's got. Hey, Carl, thanks for calling this morning. Happy Monday to.

And of course real estate agents have sold many homes in Clifton due to the gas lights. Now Clifton's gas lights are on the National Register of Historic Places. Yes, it's gonna be interesting. They try to get rid of them when they are on the National Register of Historic Places.

gas lights. Oh, here's one. Is air pollution a concern of yours? But one of the questions that really stood out was, here's the question to divide everybody. All tax payers pay for the operation of gas lights. Do you think that all residents should pay for the operation of gas lights? And I put down yes, because all residents already pay for the electricity and the maintenance of the street light. Some years ago, I saw the cost associated

with every electric street light out there. You know, the city of sincat he has to write a check every so often to doke energy for the electricity and the maintenance of those street lights. So it's going to be interesting to see where that goes from.

replacing gas and subsisting with an LED conversion. How much that is going to cost. What is the daily or monthly or annual operating costs for gas versus these similar operating costs for an LED solution lighting, which I'm going to presume that at least is less expensive than a traditional incandestion operation. So that's the thing you need to

look at. How dear and near and dear to the hearts and minds of the folks that live in gaslight districts are actually having an actual gas bulb if you can mimic it enough to subsid it out with something that's cheaper. Question is would it ultimately be cheaper given the replacement costs and operating costs questions which I don't know.

run by uh, of course carbon producing products. Then ask yourself, Carl, where does the electricity come from that runs the converted street lights, and I think you will find pretty quickly that it does not come from green resources or sources. Appreciate the call man five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty eight hundred and eighty two to three. Talk got one more segment to go through. If you want to call,

feel free to do so. Otherwise I can give you a couple legal updates, and I think I'll put a smile on my listeners faces. Stay right here. If if you have k SE the talk station, What do you need to know today?

Wilmington this Sunday, November third. Doors open at noon, rally at one, so you'll see Tucker Carlson and Bernie Marino hopefully unless they change it again in they're running out of time for that one vote Moreno, whether you go to the rally or not, I appreciate that. Thanks Mareene for helping my listeners stay on top of that moving target. Anyway, I want to mention real quick here if I can get both of them in. For those folks, you gotta

remember it takes a long time litigation. I've mentioned this so many times over the years, not that it comes as shock to anybody, but from complaint to final adjudication can be years. The case of COVID nineteen, people who were fired because they had legitimate religious objections getting a vaccination or finally getting their due and getting their day in court. We got another victory here Bay Area Rapid

Transportation District employees mc bart out in San Francisco. It's the I guess their version of the streetcar public transportation. Six of them are each going to be receiving more than one million dollars. This was a federal case. The jury sided with the fired employees seven point eight million dollars total verdict, again only six employees. After a dispute over Bart's twenty twenty one mandate requiring folks to get vaccinated or lose their job, they argue it violated the

religious police First Amendment. First point the First Amendment freedom free exercise of religion. The government cannot interfere with that. Guess what it did. Attorneys wrote, of the one hundred and seventy nine religious objector employees, not one received an accommodation. Exclusion to religious people from the enjoyment of a right stands in violation of the First Amendment's religious clauses and federal and state anti discrimination in employment laws. Thank you

to the Pacific Justice Institute. They're the ones that well manage the altigation expenses bringing this lawsuit on behalf of the six employees. Their lead attorney said, the you know, renal employees chose to lose their livelihood rather than deny their faith. That in and of itself shows the sincerity and depth of their convictions after nearly three years of struggle. These essential workers feel they were heard and understood by the jury and are overjoyed and relieved by the verdict.

I can only imagine that they are and moving over to Judicial Watch. I've had them in the program many times over the years. Another organization that can handle the cost of litigation in behalf of them well cases they want to advance. Judicial Watch announced last week the US Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has issued an opinion reversing a lower court ruling in Mississippi's election law that permitted absentee ballots to be received as late

as five business days after the election. So Judicial Watch fil the civil rights lawsuit against them, and that's because it conflicted with federal law. According to the Fifth Circuit opinion, Congress statutorily designated a singular quote day for the election close quote. Members of Congress and the appointment of presidential electors. Text, precedent and historical practice confirmed this quote day for the election close quote is the day by which ballots must

be cast by voters and received by state officials. Because Mississippi's statute allows ballot receipt up to five days after the day of election. It is preempted by federal law. We reversed the district Court's contrary judgment and remand for further proceedings. So good news. Maybe we will know on Wednesday the outcome of the election. Maybe we won't. George, welcome to the program, Thanks for calling today, and a happy Monday to you, sir.

want to be an engineer. That's a good value they seem to be smart, they've got great grades. They'll make great engineers. Engineers usually do pretty well. Okay, that passes underwriting approval. What if the kid wants to get into an art major or a I don't know, some sort of social sciences major where there are no employment opportunities, George, then the college would have to reflect on that.

that Sharon Cooley has joined the program this morning. It's worth looking into her article from the Inquire sixty five million dollar windfall in the City of Cincinnati's budget and what they decided to spend the money on. We didn't even can't get a chance to scratch a whole lot of the surface of that one. So do a little research on that one and see the rest of it.

Sharon said she's gonna be doing some follow up reporting on that because sounded to me like a bit of a Shenanigan's declaration, considering, Oh my god, the dire predictions.

happen between now and next Tuesday. At least you'll have it done and you know your vote will be counted at least that is our initial presumption. And of course Money Monday with Brian James, how inflation is hitting your grocery cart, US card holders have maxed out on their credit cards in too many cases. And finally that student debt relief that will provided the impetus for that last college I appreciate tune in tomorrow we get the Bright

Part inside Scoop at eight oh five. Daniel Davis on vacation this week, so we'll have another opportunity for a different guest or more phone calls, which I really enjoy. Thanks for the conversation we had this morning. I truly appreciate it. I appreciate you tuning into the morning show, and I of course appreciate Joe Strecker, executive producer, for doing all he does to make it work right. Have

a wonderful day, folks, I hope you do anyway.
