55KRC Monday Show - Smitherman and Money Monday

answer that question. Got a couple of articles we've done to dive on into with Brian James, Every average consumer, This is sad Reality six nine in credit card debt and get ready for nasty layoffs topic number three with Brian James kind of depressing news there. Your phone calls are always welcome here on the vitybove Kearsey Morning Show. I appreciate hearing from you if there's something you want

to talk about. Got a situation unfolding in Israel with the Defense Minister claiming that Aron's ready to make a large scale attack any day now. We'ren delivering hundreds of ballistic missiles to Russia. These are the shorter range and satellite guided ballistic missiles, which apparently are very difficult to

shoot down. Frightening stuff. And we've got a bunch of rockets landing in Israel from Lebanon, and the big concern is that Israel is going to be surrounded by the Huthis and the Hamas and the Iranians and whatever other entities out there are looking forward to attacking Israel, perhaps simultaneously, which is truly truly frightening. Anyhow, this one area of conflict going on in the world. We got the Ukrainians now in Russia reeling a bit of bit from that.

Not quite sure how they're going to hold that region, but some viewing it as a well a shot of inspiration to the Ukrainian citizen rooms since they've now entered Russia, expanding the field of conflict there. Keep your popcorn out

on that one. Again, not exactly uplifting information, considering the massive loss of life that's going on in that area, and also the four of the fact that it has forced all of these previously disparate interested countries that all hate us into each other's arms, which is not a

great thing in terms of global politics. As we face this November election, wondering and wondering and wondering, why are we going to find out who Kamala Harris is and what she's going to be running on by way of platform, because thus far she has no updates to her campaign site and no information about what exactly it is she is going to run on, no policies, continues to have no policies on our website. By being in the president or race for well more than three weeks in office

about four years, which has drawn some criticisms. You know, oh, it's kind of funny, some funny things going on in the world to Kamala Harris. But sadly, in spite of the fact that we don't know what she's running on, there's two new polls out which show that she has surged, and everybody's speculating is this an exhalation of relief among Democrats that Joe Biden's no longer the nominee or is

it really truly support for Kamala Harris. And I find it difficult that it would fall into the latter category, since we don't know about really anything that she is planning for the country by way of policies in the future. Is she going to be continuing to bide administration's policies? Are you at or off now then you are four years ago? Kind of stuff. We don't know, no idea. But in spite of that, what do we got here.

One of the first major surveys released since Kamala Harris took over Joe Biden in that coup, a'tah now leading Donald Trump by four points in three of the crucial battleground states. Is the New York Times Siena College poll one of two that came out that's kind of positive for Kamala Harris, would asked if the twenty twenty four election were held today, half fifty percent of respondents in Wisconsin, Michigan,

and Pennsylvania said Harris, forty six went with Trump. The director of Santa College Research Institute, a guy named Donald Levy, said, staved it's a new race across the russ Belt background of battleground states now that former President Donald Trump is facing Harris instead of Joe Biden. Harris had opened up a lead of four points in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania with strong support from women, younger voters, blacks, and those

with college education. However, Trump continues to be seen by voters better on the economy and immigration, still better than Harris, but smaller margins than Trump had over Biden. So again, is this more exuberance over Biden not being on the ticket or actual support for Harris and her policies. I find again it difficult to be the latter. Harris leads according to voters on abortion and protecting our democracy by wide margins. This guy said, Okay, abortion is not a

federal issue anymore. And the idea that democracy is under threat. I think you can look to the Democrats for that, because they're more about controlling every element of your life than the Republicans. It's a typical party division.

their government telling them what to do. Really, the party of the administrative state and regulation and micromanagement of literally every aspect of her life she wants. She's running on the this is what she claims to be running on. I'm sorry, I have a huge, huge, huge measure of skepticism on that one. Moving over to the Financial Times, in the University of Michigan Rash School of Business poll, the first monthly poll to show Democratic presidential candidate leading

Trump on the economy. This one's kind of a bizarre pole. All of them are considering. Trump still polls that better than Harris on the economy, and generally speaking, forty two percent of voters that they trusted Harris more to handle the to me compared with forty one point difference there than Trump. Trump's numbers unchanged from this same polling from last month, Harris got a seven percent improvement compared to

Biden's numbers. Again, Harris versus Biden. Biden was shot. Everybody knew it, so just simply changing the names has resulted in an increase on this one. Accord to Eric Gordon, professor at the University did the poll. The effect that voters were more positive on Harris than on Biden says as much about how badly Biden was doing as it does about how well Harris is doing Americans In this poll,

still citing inflation is the biggest concern. That sure survey showed only nineteen percent of voters believe they are better off today than they were when Biden took office. Again, has has Does Harris have different policies? No idea, presumably not. This new survey shows Harris maybe able to distance herself from Biden on economy issues. Of those surveyed, sixty percent said she should either are you ready she should, which she hasn't done yet, either break completely from Biden's economic

policies or make major changes to his platform. Silence is deafinitly from the Harris camp on that just one in four registered voters rated economic conditions is either excellent or good. Forty two percent said they would be much or somewhat better off if Trump won another four years in White House. Thirty three percent said they would be much or somewhat better off under a Harris presidency. So you go over

from her improved numbers regarding trust. They trust Harris one percentage point more than Trump on the economy, and yet when you look at economic conditions and whether or not they'd be better off under Trump, and Harris he clabbers her by almost ten percent. How do you reconcile those numbers?

one than Harris. On some specific economic issues, particularly trade, forty three percent say voters trust Trump more to handle economic relations with China, compared to thirty nine percent who go with Harris on that one issue. So odd numbers strange. And maybe she'll roll out policy positions that will allow us to figure out, one way or another whether she's going to continue with the Biden's words or Biden's policies rather than come up with their own and here's where

she got it. One of the places she got herself in trouble. Social media can be harsh a cruel mistress social media. Kamala Harris ex account at a video of her on Friday promising to bring down prices if she's elected president. Here's her post, vice President Harris when I am When I am president, it will be my day one priority to fight to bring down prices. I will take on the big corporations that engage in illegal price godging.

I will take on corporate landlords and unfairly raise rents on working families, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, to which the uproar was, you're elected your vice president of freaking United States of America. You're already positioned of power and influence. Why don't you do something now? Why do we have to wait till after January when you get inaugurated? Legitimate questions one observing a stuteley. If you haven't done anything about it so far, you won't start.

them a racist in the past. This is sort of a mirror image of what happened here locally when the left, Democrats, etc. We're all complaining that voter ID was racist, and yet the end of LACP requires you to show a government issued photo ID in order to vote in the presidential election. I did just that back when Christopher Smith and was president of the local ENDAACP chapter and back when I was a member. So there you go. How do you

reconcile that? Well, I guess you don't have to if you hide in your basement and you organize a campaign strategy that mirrors are that mirrors Joe Biden's twenty twenty strategy of just simply hiding and not answering some of the more difficult questions facing you.

just absolutely wonderful business man. He quit school eighth grade to get in the meat business, and he had never turned back. He acquired every one of the independent sausage makers and meat packing companies over the years and ended up buying out his competition. Got the the recipe for the winner of the world to wait it and use that for the hot dogs, just in his motto. And this is something that I had so much more spec

for Elmer for. And I've been to that plant so many times over the years when I was speaking for them, and I missed doing that. But still a great product. Still buy it in the Thomas household. Just decisions made regarding advertising, and I can't fault anybody for whatever reason they do that. But enjoyed the relationship all that last soer and I enjoyed the friendship that I made with all those folks down at Queen City Sausage. But never cheapen the product.

So he just and the praise for Elmer Hensler and the man he was all over social media father, husband, my brother, a heart as big as the sky, described US Sheriff Jim Neal supported many Cincinnati charities, never sought the notoriety. He just wanted to help out of course. Uh, well, I hear on the Morning show. Will miss Omar Hensler? I know I'll miss him. Felt like he was a dear friend and enjoyed his company when I had the

opportunity to spend time with them. So rest in peace and prayers to the the folks at Queen City Sausage as well as his family and uh and friends five three, seven, four fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three. Talk with Pound five fifty on eighteen and t phones if you care too, love to hear from you. What else is going on?

let's not let people know who you are. No press conferences, no sit down interviews, not even a softball sit down interview, a one on one with pre prepared questions na A. And nothing on her website either. This interview, I guess over the weekend. It's has been twenty days and it's

longer now. No interview, no press conference. She wants to stay hidden as much as she possibly can because, as Trump said last night, she's not really capable of doing an interview without having all the aids, the teleprompter, and people will find out very very quickly what's going on. So they're planning on trying to keep trying to push

and push extend things. He explained, Trump campaign has to bring out the points about Kamla and about Waltz, about what they believe, what they think, and what they've said. Good point from Ben Carson quote, don't just necessarily tell people what they said, show them what they said. I think this'd be very powerful to get the point across. You only need all those things when you're trying to

make something match. It's like when you tell lies, you've got to try to remember what you said before so you can make it match. You don't have to do that when you're telling the truth. Yeah, Matt Boyle asked him, so do you think the Harris and Walls campaign are trying to pull a con of the American public basically like they're trying to lie their way into the presidency. Carson says, it's quite quite clear that's what they're trying

to do, and so they've done in the past. The very fact that they tried to hide from the American people, the condition of Biden tells you all you need to know. Anybody who would do that is not someone who can be trusted. And would you trust them in the future of the country, with the future of your children and grandchildren, all the people coming after. They've already demonstrated that lying is their second nature to them. I don't think so close. Quote,

Tom Brankman take on the Railroad Money for property tax relief interesting proposition once you get six hundred million dollars out of the one point six billion dollars, so in a separate fund to generate interest and pay property taxes for every single homeowner or business owner in the entire city. So sounded strange to me, but Tom's making a good play for it, and they're out there gathering signatures I think affected today,

so you will have a say on that. It will be a ballot initiative and maybe on the November ballot. So check out the podcast their fifty five care se dot com. It looks like out of state customers buy a lot of our weed here in the state of Ohio. Dispensaries say a large chunk of the recreational sales coming from out of state. Estimates between forty and fifty percent of all sales here in the state of Ohio to out of state buyers went for sale first time ever

yet last Tuesday. Now it's reported and I'll give credit to the enquirre on that one. Ohio don't track out of state customers, but dispensaries are required to check state IDs. So workers contacted by the SINSINNY inquire you know, anecdotal evidence they say, while most customers do pail from Ohio,

residents from Kentucky and Indiana right behind Ohioans. According to Jason Lettman, co founder of Brown County based one hundred Percent Labs, He said some places thought it was about fifty to fifty or at least forty percent of out of state customers buying the legal weed here in the state of Ohio. Details provided to the inquire by a place called Nectar. Westwood Dispensary made about four hundred sales last Tuesday alone. Of those Tuesday sales in Westwood, forty

percent of ours were from out of state. Most of those were from Kentucky and Indiana. Hmm, shocking, probably no one. So yeah, they expect that to continue. But weed here in Ohio is more expensive than Michigan's. Separate report from wcp oh tailor NEMO Thank You Flower here is about five times more expensive in Ohio, and edibles are almost double of what's available in Michigan, according to UC blue Ash Economics professor Kashar Gimmer.

rushes as people want to buy cannabis. So what typically happens cannabis market makes a switch from strictly medical, it's a recreational. So the demand huge demand, and it is difficult to keep up with supply. Obviously, economics kick cake kicks in and that's why prices are higher. But give it some time, he said. Sometimes it happens three, four or five months. Sometimes it happened at about a year. But overall, the trends always go down. The price always

comes down as more suppliers come in. Prices go down as supply kind of meets demand. So there you have it. Expensive weed in Ohio not stopping purchases, though driver hospitalized after a pickup truck crashed into a Butler County vitamin shop. Fairfield Police sat talking about this one.

spots in the lot to unload fishing gear. Richard Minor, sixty six, a disabled amputee, was living in his car parked in the other handicap space. Minor questioned Arias about parking in the parking space, asking if they were disabled. Apparently, the situation escalated when both men exchanged words. According to local reporting there, Arius's wife and friend left the pier. Witnesses said Minor began calling after them. At some point, Arius decided to leave. As he pulled out, Minor yelled

at him for driving in the wrong direction. Arius got out of his truck, approached Miner's passenger side window, when more words were exchanged, and Minor doused him with bare spray. When Arius came around to the driver's side window, Minor fired several shots at Arius, killing him. Do what the hell Miner being held in Saracena County Jail on charges of murder and aggravated his soul with a firearm.

A person snatcher was sentenced to seven years imprisonment for dragging a person described as a popular California bakery owner and activist to her death while fleeing away in a getaway car. Twenty year old Ishmael Jenkins Birch found out on Friday that in the death of Jen Angel, who was forty eight, he pleaded no contest of voluntary manslaughter and second degree robbery court of the family and friends.

In a statement, the sentence was the best possible outcome oft of the current legal system in this political climate. We know that Jen would not want someone involved in her death, whether complicit or not, to waste a waste away in prison for decades, and we take some comfort in knowing the Ishmael as a chance to repair some of the harmoniest caused. Defense attorney and Bells told the local news there, San Jose Mercury, that her client would

honor her this woman's memory during and after his imprisonment. Ishmael, his family, and I are so pleased with the compassionate humanity the Jen Angels community and friends showed toward ishe Mail. We are so hopeful that the conversation about restorative justice will continue within the Oakland community. This woman fatally wounded February sixth last year in downtown Oakland when a thief broke into a car while she was in it, grabbed

her purse, and then ran to a getaway vehicle. Angel jumped out of a car ran after the thief, but was knocked down in a struggle, snagged by the getaway car door and dragged more than fifty feet before falling into the street and hitting her head. Birch quickly identified as a driver linked to a secondary robbery nearby that day. Angel died three days later at the hospital after losing all brain function of being takeoff life taken off life support.

it home for me, this woman told the Post. She also posted pictures on x which went viral with as a time of reporting a couple of days ago, over six point three million views. One user observing a place that sells coffee but you're not allowed to poop is diabolical? What are the co owners of this place? The social House? William Somerville said the idea that customers couldn't let nature call in his cafes bathroom, well not true, in spite of the twelve signs up there saying that they can't

do that. He claimed the messages in an effort to deter people from flushing tampons or other machine made products down the toilet's pipes. So the toilet repairs cost the business more than ten thousand dollars last year alone. Apparently the pipes have reached the end of their useful life. So in spite of what it says, he says it's for other reasons. And finally we go to Duncansville, Pennsylvania, where at a Meadows Family Fun mini golf venue they

had to call animal officials to the scene. When a mini golf course workers found out that while there was a live animal in the claw machine, you know you put money in the claw grabs the stuffed animal. Apparently, well there was a live one in there. Pennsylvania Game Commission showed what they found. It was a woodchuck aka groundhog hiding in with the stuff prizes in the machine.

Court of the news reporting groundhogs live near rocky outcrops from valley bottoms to alpinut or alpine tundra, but they avoid dense forest, also described as surprisingly quick and good tree climbers. Fin approaching the machine to investigate, not play z sgw zufuto. That will be the officer from the animal control units saw the stuffed animals move and the

groundhog then popped its head up amongst the prizes. Officials called the vending machine company to unlock the machine so they could safely remove the woodchuck and take him back to his natural habitat unharmed. Now you mentioned Pucksatani Joe, and that's actually the photograph they add included with the article from like Getty images. They say, this is not

there's a lot of them. Detroit based United Auto Workers has approximately one million active and retired members, obviously carrying a significant weight of influence. Do they or are they represented adequately and properly by Sean Fame, the President of the United Auto Workers, who is full on for Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz. The so the folks that want to continue the edicts and mandates to force you into an electric vehicle. Electric vehicles which don't require as many

automobile manufacturers as an additional internal combustion engine. While the internal combustion engine is the only thing that's making any profits for any of the United Auto Workers. They're losing literally millions of dollars on these vehicles, and yet they

continue to press them. The only reason they are even affordable, by any stretching the imagination, or even desirable, is because the government mandates edicts and of course incentives in the form of tax credits for the manufacturers and of course the credit for you for buying one. She's out there championing, in her words, the collective and the right to bargain for wages and working conditions. Great, you have to have a going entity and concern for you to effectively bargain

for more wages. Coming out of COVID, all the United Auto Workers got a huge increase when they renegotiated their contracts because they're still making internal combustion engines. But oh, maybe not so much. And I love this quote from Harris. I mean, this is the exact opposite of what she

stands for. We want dignity for all people. We want to recognize the pride all people have to freedom and liberty and to make choices, especially those that are about the heart and home and do not have their government telling them what to do. Who's under fire more than the automobile industry in terms of having the government tell them what to do. How do we force people into electric vehicles? Let's make the cafe standards impossible for the

internal combustion engine to meet. Meanwhile, demand for the internal combustion engine remains significant, and the demand for the EV market is well, maybe increasing only slightly, but not enough to make them profitable for the automobile industry. Pivoting over to Solantis, which is laying off two four hundred and fifty production workers in Michigan because it's replacing the classic RAM internal combustion engine truck with evs. How's that working

out for the unions? Congratulations, you got to raise, You're fired. According to the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal, Silantis is showing what the real green energy transition looks like. Friday, the automaker announced plans layoff these twy four hundred and fifty workers in Michigan while ramping up their electric vehicle production. As a consolation, the laid off workers will receive a generous parting gift in the form of some benefits and

some compensation. They point out carmakers are struggling to sell these higher priced cars as consumers pull back after three years of inflation. Thank you Bidenomics. What's Harris's going to do to bring down prices? I just throw that out there because she says she's going to and people are making fun of her because she is in elected office right now and has the ability to drive whatever policy proposals she plans on implementing if elected president, but apparently

won't do it now. I'll leave it for you to decide whether there's anything that Kamala Harris as president or currently vice president can do to lower prices. Rich labor agreement that stilanis Ford and GM struck last autumn with the on at autowork workers is raising costs. That's the benefits they got as a consequence of collective bargaining, which she's in favor of. But the companies need profits from gas powered trucks to subsidize the money losing EV line

of cars. Hence Stallan has scrambled to slash costs. Last month, the company announced BUYOUTCES salary workers in the United States this past Friday, laying off those twenty four hundred plus production workers in Warren, Michigan, where it produces the classic Ram fifteen hundred pickup. As it rolls out the new electric model, workers can send a thank you card to the UAW President Sean Fain, And there I go. That's

the point the journal makes that I made before. Are the workers, those one million active and retired workers really benefiting from the current administration or would they benefit from harris administration. Harris is not backing off EV mandates or cafe standards forcing people into electric vehicles. It's all part of the grand design. As my listeners know. It's noted here. Car companies scrap the old models when they come out with new ones. Makes sense. I've been doing that for years.

But making electric vehicles requires fewer workers than gas powered cars, SOA is taking advantage of those manufacturing efficiencies. The problem and tragedy for the workers is that the decisions are being driven by government mandates rather than market choices, going back to not having government tell them what to do.

For the American families that Harris seggested to the United Auto Workers this past Friday, EPA's new emissions rules will effectively require companies to produce one to two electric trucks for every gas powered truck as soon as calendar year twenty twenty seven and a four to one ratio by twenty thirty two. Look at California alone, those mandates are even more aggressive, banning the sale of new gas powered

cars by twenty thirty five. You will have no choice that your government taking away right and telling you what to do, Kamala Harris. Fifteen states have adopted California's ev quotas. Minnesota included Tim Wallas, governor there, imposed those over strong opposition from his own state's auto dealers. And of course, I think by extension, the workers who make the automobiles, notwithstanding what the President Sean Fain says on their behalf.

Kamala Harris also support a banning new gas powered cars nationwide by twenty thirty five. When she ran for president in twenty nineteen, that didn't go over real well for her candidacy.

of course didn't take any questions. Neither did Tim Walls, So we're going to be left in the dark again, and continuing this theme that we're observing, Kamala Harris adopting Joe Biden's hid in the basement strategy of twenty twenty. Democrats, for their part, claim this green energy transition is going to create millions of jobs, but the evidence so far

suggests otherwise. The reality is that government will end up supporting workers who lose their jobs and can't find other work, which is why the Democrats are pushing to expand the welfare state. Maybe that's the journal's conclusion, but what other conclusion can you read? They're invested, the Democrats are in getting every man, woman and child hooked up to something from the federal government. This is the reason you continue

to vote for it. Once you get something from the federal government, no one ever wants it to be taken away. Even though you were able to manage your life up until the moment in time government made that money or service available to you. Gee, what did we all do before all these programs and plans came into place. It's going to be doing just quite. I just find on our own making our own decisions around our own kitchen

tables or dinners, as the case may be. Stillanis is offering laidoff workers fifty two weeks of unemployment assistance and fifty two weeks of what they call transition assistance, plus two years of health coverage on top of the state unemployment benefits that they'll get already. The journal notes that, yes, that is generous, and maybe they're capable of doing it. I don't know how, But what are the employers who

aren't able to afford that type of benefit? Got to know, there's multiple multiples of tiers of suppliers and manufacturers in the automobile supply chain, many of which many businesses won't be needed in an electric vehicle world. I'm sure there's some company out there that makes alternators. They aren't going to be needed. So I don't know how this works within the United Autoworkers Union. And maybe people are just

being quiet. Maybe you're a a bridge autoworker Union guy realizes orgal realizes the electric vehicles are a pathway to their unemployment, and they well should. This is something that's so open and obvious. I don't know anybody could come to a contrary to conclusion. But the president of the UAW thinks this is all rosy and great. Who's in

If every car, if every car went on electricity starting today, the grid could not handle it. You know, it's sort of like you could California, sort of like California where they were making all these mandates and during the summer they had all these blackouts because you know, they couldn't handle it. They couldn't handle what they're already presently needing. So this is really just a scam in order to get everybody to relinquish their rights, their controls, their way

of living. And unfortunately, they want everyone to go into nice apartments. Nobody should have their own home with land. Everybody should be using public transit to get around, and we should have these all little two bedroom apartment type things for you and your family, which you're only supposed

to have one kid. It's really just control. Because if I remember a number of years back when I was working, you know, at the power plant, I thought, if they're serious about this, they have to seriously, seriously upgrade the electrical grid, and they're not. They're not.

cities worth of electricity. We can't meet that demand either, So you're right, I mean, more transmission lines, higher quality lines. Obviously you're gonna need electric vehicle charging stations. We've already allocated what eight billion dollars to install charging stations over the back in twenty twenty one, and they've only done what eight of them or.

They've have all the subsidies and all the ability in the world to do whatever the hell they want in terms of building green Agenda items, and billions have been spent on a high speed rail system that hasn't even got off the ground. Again, Yeah, they're the victims of their own you know, regulations and rules and lawsuits. There's a lot of environmentals out there, you know, throwing lawsuit roadblocks in the way of having that one built. And it's you know, it's a joke. You think there's going

to be a return on that investment. Are they going to end up making money on it or is it just a big giant hole in which taxpayer dollars are going to be thrown into support to support it even if it gets built, or when ultimately it gets built, if it ever gets built. So, yeah, you're stuck. It takes me five minutes to refill my tank of gas. I can go three hundred and fifty miles on one tank of gas, and if I have to fill it up, it only takes me a few minutes and I'm on

And she's got like thirty five years in the mortgage business. Never a junk fee, never an application fee, great rates at a low cost.

And you can really get arrested for almost anything you say, as long as it can be perceived by some idiot in the world as inciting violence or otherwise racist or whatever other list of damaging posts that they can come up with over there. And I suppose that'll be just a question of whose ox is being gored?

Thanks for holding me here. Welcome to the program.

It is as far away from what she uttered in front of the United Autoworkers about freedom of choice and making decisions without government involvement as a person can possibly be. So yeah, stay on issues, everybody I've ever I've read so many articles about this over the past since Kamala Harris has come out as the anointed person the coup. A'tah, everyone say Trump, you need to stay on message, Ben Carson's talking yesterday. Don't just necessarily tell people what they say,

show them what they've said. He's not think it'd be very powerful to get the point across. In other words, you've got documents, you have exhibit, you have a record, get it out there in front of people. Quit calling names, quit making fun of her or mentioning her race or all the stuff that doesn't really matter the American voter, and point out why she's joys going to be miserable

and terrible for our country. In the direction that goes in more power for government, more control, more people hooked up to the umbilical court of government, fewer choices when it comes to things like what kind of stove you by, what kind of car you drive, all of the above everything. Her record is solid and she can't walk away from it, as much as she seems to be trying to. Notice her website doesn't have any policy platforms. Notice Kamala Harris

doesn't do interview. Notice she'll speak to the United Auto Workers and then turn her back around the mainstream media or anybody else out there that once ask her a simple question, she leaves, how long can this last? How long can it last? How long with American people put up with it?

But things got moving so quickly it didn't happen. Is that him speaking to the former Biden, the moderator, the centrist guy, the guy that could reach across the aisle and negotiate deals. That certainly isn't the Joe Biden we got now, isn't He was overwhelmed with leftist agenda and maybe that was what was moving so quickly. I couldn't be who I wanted to be. My puppet masters basically pushed out an agenda that was farther the left than

I ever thought could happen. But here we are, and look what it did to me and my electability, not only my cognitive decline, but also maybe the policies that put us in this sorry position.

I call her about the the United Kingdom, the Metropolitan Police commissioner there, so police will not necessarily confine their arrests for speech crimes just in the London area. In the United Kingdom, that'll be extraditing you for your online postings which make their way into the UK market. Right now, they've been hit with a whole bunch of violent protests over immigration policies, including attacks and arson directed at immigration centers.

Fueled they claim by false reports spread online that the person responsible for an attack at a Taylor Swift concert dance event, leving three girls dead and others wounded, was done by an illegal immigrant, when in fact it turns out it was an eighteen year old British citizen born to Rwandan parents, so second generation immigrant, so it was

not one of the newly arrived illegal immigrants. So if you post something online sturing the pot of division involving what racial divisions or maybe your anti immigration doesn't matter. They claiming they're going to throw you in jail because you've spread disinformation. But what when do you find out whether the information you've been given is real or not right. I'm certain that somebody out there in the world posted something saying that this was an illegal immigrant. Now where

did they get that information? Did they make it up? Had they read it someplace else. It's rather confusing because you know, the information drips drips very slowly. Consider the attempted assassination that Donald Trump. We still haven't gotten all the answers from the United States Secret Service. What about

a position on that. I've had listeners call me in saying there were three gunmen there, that it was, you know, a coordinated attack that you know, we really you could get arrested for that if you spread that kind of thing in the United Kingdom. But we don't really know yet whether it's true or not.

So at what point are our utterances considered, you know, speculation, conjecture, actual factual information. Just throwing something out there to see how people react. That's what free speech is all about. And when you get this kind of like, for example, with the assassination, all of these conspiracy theories popping up, you'd think the government would be quick to dispel them by releasing information and letting us know what the truth is.

in fact Hunter Biden's laptop. Now, prior to that, maybe if you're in the United Kingdom and this involved a yacht, United Kingdom related issue, You might have been arrested for denying what these fifty one so called experts said. You'd be arrested and then oh, well, we'll unring that bell later when we're all told the truth. Same thing goes with the Russian collusion. Donald Trump colluded with the Russians. Well,

we found out that was all fake. It was made up whole cloth by the Democratic National Committee buying off the Steele dossier, having it created. Now, if you if you went online and committed the crime of saying that Steele dossier wasn't real and that Donald Trump really didn't do that stuff, maybe if you're in the UK, they'd arrest you. But then the truth ultimately comes out. So how does one gauge what's criminal in the United Kingdom

and what's not. They hate Elon Musk. Elon Musk does not post what is on X. He provides a vehicle for people to offer their assessment of the current climate, and some assessment may be vitriolic. The mere fact that it's vitriolic that some people might react and believe it to be maybe a racist statement or a divisive statement. Musk has no control over that, nor should he. It's a free speech platform, and we do enjoy the right to free speech in this country, regardless of what Tim

Waltz might say or Kamala Harris might say. We have a First Amendment, but this United Kingdom it got all springs from the Public Order Act of nineteen eighty six, which prohibits any expressions of racial hatred defined as hatred against a group of persons by reason of group's color, race, nationality, citizenship, ethnic or national origins. Section eighteen specifically includes any speech that is in their words, threatening, abusive, or insulting circle

the word insulting. Does your intent in your post have to be insulting or is it just how one random dude or someone in elected capacity in the UK perceives

to be insulting? But no, And arrest does not have to be based on a showing of intent to stir up racial hatred, but can merely be based on a charge that quote, having regard to all the circumstances, racial hatred is likely to be stirred up thereby in a world where we have the Internet connection and we can stir up racial hatred based upon events that never happened. United States, Hands up, don't shoot, It's pretty easy to

stir it up. So the reaction from those easily offended by something that might not otherwise necessarily stir up racial hatred stirs up rachel hatred because they want to, so they can go after the person posting this random not necessarily you know, abusive post. The after effect justifies the arrest for the prior post. Scary stuff, folks, truly scary stuff. Six fifty six fifty five KRC DE Talk Station Stick around.

We got plenty to talk about in seven o'clock hour, including Christopher Smithman joining the program at seven thirty.

Time five fifty on AT and T phones. Of course, in the last segment, we were talking about the United Kingdom cracking down on what they believe to be offensive speechs and extraditing people from the United States into the United Kingdom to criminally process them and prosecute them for breaking the rules that exist in the United Kingdom, which clearly do not apply to the United States, given that we do have a first Amendment threatening abusive insulting posts

based on a charge that, having regard to all the circumstances, racial hatred is likely to be stirred up. If someone is stirred up as a consequence of your post, then you get to be arrested in the United Kingdom. And it's noted the Biden Harris administration has been a proponent of censorship in blacklisting for years. So the one two punch comes. If you go ahead and vote for the Harris Walls ticket, you're going to get a whole lot

more of the same. Now, they've got a problem here in the United States because of that tesky Second Amendment and the Supreme Court precedents multiple of them, which protect even the foulest of speech. It's a question of time. If there is time for additional speech in between cries of violence or anger or stirring the pot of rioting, looting, etc. If there's additional time between the utterance and the time

that the rioting starts, then there's protected speech involved. Go back to the Brandenburg decision, which I've talked about multiple times here in the Morning Show. Yes, you can inflame racist clan members with evil, vile, really unjustifiable attacks, and it's protected. And it's protected because you know, that helps us figure out who the idiots are in the room, so we can talk more about their hatred and show how it's wrong as a as a position period, I mean,

for a variety of reasons. More speech comes out when well utterances are made that some consider to be hateful, hateful perhaps, but inviting a welcome discussion on that underlying hatred. That's the beauty of free speech. And John Turley pointed this out in his recent op ed piece, which you can find over at the Hill. A Harris Walts administration will be a nightmare for free speech. So on the heels of the UK locking people up for social media posts.

Back in her failed twenty twenty presidential bid, Turley Rights, Harris ran on censorship and pledged at her administration in her words, will hold social media platforms accountable for they hate infiltrating their platforms because they have a responsibility to help fight against this threat to our democracy.

utterance is that's bad. They provide a vehicle for that free flow of communication, and somehow they're supposed to be held accountable for every utterance on the social media platform.

very broad. They're all about that though. And again, at any given moment in time, something could be deemed a lie on social media, only for us to find out later, usually sometime down the road, when the government is incapable of keeping the information to itself, it feeds out to us and we find out what they have been telling us and what has been censured on censored on social media, as the truth was in fact the truth, it turtly

points out. Benjamin Franklin warned founding Father. In those wretched countries where a man cannot call his tongue his own, he can scare, he can scarce call anything his own. Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech. Without freedom of thought. There can be no such thing as wisdom, and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech, which is the right of every man, or in modern times, every person.

blacklisting operations, tarting groups and individuals who opposed views. Remember Lois Lerner and the irs going after conservative organizations, Eric Holder's Department of Justice FBI arresting moms and dads at school board meetings because they're concerned about their children and what their children are being taught.

That's the same argument they make with firearms manufacturers. Somehow you can make a lawful product that's protected by our constitution, and the manufacturer is somehow supposed to be responsible for the unhinged violence someone using a firearm to commit a crime, which is a crime. It's written there in the books. You can't murder someone, whether it's with a baseball bat or a firearm. That's a law in the books. Somehow the firearms manufacturers is supposed to be accountable for that.

Somehow the social media platforms are supposed to be accountable for some utterance from the literally millions and millions of people who participate in the social media every single day. Hell TikTok's got half of every single American on its account. Not gonna defend TikTok either. Tim Waltz went on NBC supporting censoring disinformation, declared quote, there's no guaranteed a free speech on misinformation or a hate speech, and especially around

our democracy. No, there is, mister Waltz. I know you're not a lawyer, and it's reflected in that stupid, stupid, stupid utterance prior test before Congress on the censorship system un of the Biden administration. The committee's ranking Democrat, Delaware's Stacey Plaskett, declared, quote, I hope that all members recognize that there is speech that is not constitutionally protected, referencing hate speech as an example. That sentiment echoed by Senator VN. Cardon,

who is a lawyer. If you espouse hate, you're not protected under the First Amendment.

position strikes at the heart of the First Amendment. The Court wrote, speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or anyother similar ground is hateful. But the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the

freedom to express the thought that we hate. So no one defends the hatred, but I'll defend the right to free speech, and I'll certainly defend your right to remain out of jail for making what some perceived it to be hateful utterances while others perceive them maybe not so much. Or even these so called disinformation utterance that Tim Waltz

talked about. What is disinformation? Folks, again going back to the fifty one so called experts in the fields of you know, cybersecurity and Russian influence pedaling saying Hunter Biden's laptop was not Hunter Biden's laptop. Hmmm, disinformation maybe again. The Steele dossier a lie made up by the Democratic National Committee bought and paid for disinformation for you to say it was wrong and false. Man, they're still hard at work, folks. We know that the FBI and other

lettered agencies were embedded inside social media companies. It's one of the reasons Elon Musk bought Twitter and turned it into X fifteen excuse me fifty five KRC, the talk station.

on the Kamala Harris Watch. When will she be speaking with reporters? When will people have a free flow of back and forth communications with Kamala Harris. Well, if you don't know what she's running on, she's kept you in the dark. And she may be as far left as she's lived her life, or she may change gears. I'm not thinking that that's going to happen. But one thing we do know about Kamala Harris, she was responsible for the border and all the cities are doing with this

insanity created by the open border. Thank you, Kamala Harris. You had control over that for three and a half years.

If not both, you can't do something about it. You got to these grand ideas you want to elaborate on exactly how you're going to lower the price of goods and how are you going to how are you going to crack down on these so called evil corporations who you allege that are price gouging. Yeah, the laws of supplying de man are way outside the realm of any

company's ability to jiggle prices. But on the border of New York is struggling because more and more of their illegal immigrant prop population is stated to be sixty five thousand at least. Once they're out of their time in shelters, and sometimes while they still have time under the current laws to stay in the shelters, they're moving out and

moving into tent encampments on the street. Some citing the fact that there's so much violence and drugs, unruly behavior, human traffic, and going on inside the city run shelters that it's safer for them to be outside in tents, obviously causing a bigger problem for New York than already has. I was looking at Brightbart's reporting on this and they pivot over. Not only is New York having a huge problem, they try to put limits on migrants that they can.

Massachusetts Governor Marra Healy has been trying to limit the number of right to shelter laws that their state has, shifting weightless prioritizing actual residents in US military veterans who are homeless and putting them ahead of migrants, trying They've been suffering from criticism for several years now because they've been putting illegal immigrants ahead of their own citizens in the veteran population. Costs to the state shelter system one billion dollars.

They say the cost is going to start soaring to one point eight billion annually by twenty twenty six, just right around the corner. But that's just housing. It doesn't include the cost of feeding, clothing, educating, giving free medical and legal aid to those in the shelter system. Nor does it include other social services like food stamps, Medicaid, and the cost of other such programs. It is blowing up budgets. It is unsustainable, unaffordable. Thank you, Kamala Harris.

Nothing more expensive for any

for any one of the scans I just mentioned. The most expensive you can get is an MRI with a contrast, and it's only six hundred and forty five dollars, which includes the board certified radiologist report that you and your physician are going to get within forty eight hours. That's the most you can pay. An MRI with a is

like thirty five hundred to maybe one thousand dollars. Any one of these scans can cost you literally thousands of dollars, and I don't know what your insurance company is going to pay on that, but most people are stuck with some form of out of pocket liability or an upfront deductible you got to cover before the insurance kicks in. Whatever the case may be. You're going to spend more on that than you would for the entire image at Affordable Imaging services. And yes, you have a choice when

it comes to medical care. You always have a choice. Heck and ultrasound it affordable imaging is only two hundred and fifty bucks. And how about that lung screening ninety nine dollars.

I'm also saying that if you have people around you who are eighteen and are not registered to vote, register them to vote. And my last point about this subject

matter is if you don't vote, shut your mouth. I don't want to hear it. Don't complain on November sixth if you didn't show up and participate in the political process. And those who say you don't like the outcome and you're going to leave the United States of America, lead now, those of you who say you don't like our country, lead now.

the country. And that's why to cast votes and decide who the president of the United States is, who's your county commissioner, who's your Hamilton County prosecutor? Who I support? Melissa Powers? Who's your sheriff? Which I support? Sheriff Neil who's running for share? But if you're not doing your homework, Brian Thomas, how can you then turn to the students who are going back to school and say do your homework?

whether it's it's liberal or conservative. There's a whole mixed bag of sites you can go to, many of which you are going to have to go to directly because I defy people go ahead and post an article, post it on Brightbart. It could be one hundred percent accurate. If you put it on Facebook, no one's ever going to see it. So you got to be able to go

to that site yourself. But you know, people like you and I we do that all the time because we eat, sleep, and breathe politics, and so it's easier to stay up to speed and know what people are campaigning on and knowing what they stand for, or the silent ones who don't utter a syllable about where they actually stand Kamala Harris. Most people don't allocate anytime during their week the things political.

I mean, I remember when we had, you know, younger kids, and you got to deal with the school issues, you got sports after school, you're going back and forth. You know, you're exhausted after you're eight, ten, twelve, fourteen hour day or whatever.

stocks and clean underwear T shirts. They're families out there, brother, who are really struggling to put food on the table, and now they're being pressed against the wall to make sure that their children look nice on the first day, second day, or third day of school. Look, my hats go out to American families who get up every day, work two and three jobs to put food on the table, close on their kids back, and I salute them this

morning as the greatest Americans. But they have to understand that the public policies that are coming down from the federal government are absolutely impacting their ability to buy those needed school supplies for their children. And make that connection on November fifth, and we will have a landslide federally, statewide, and locally. Meaning I'm watching the federal government pour our oil reserves onto the market. As you know, I'm a

financial planner. I'm watching those oil prices drop, making gas diesel cheaper as we go into the November fifth election. The problem is, first of all, we're giving up our oil reserves. Number two, we're buying We bought that oil, some of it down at seventeen and twenty dollars a

barrel is now near eighty dollars a barrel. So at the end of the day, when we get on November sixth, right when we say by low fail high, we'll be buying high, trying to pull back in those reserves that we use in order to influence this election coming up. Don't get hoodwinked by seeing lower prices right now when you're pumping your gas, because I'm sharing with your listening audience, we've got a federal government that is pouring our oil reserves out in order to keep those prices.

They want to have wedge is I'm saying, my pocketbook is on the table. My ability to get up every day, fill up my tank, go to work, have a job, pay my basic bills, maybe take a basic vacation with my family, buy clothes, food, shelter, pay my rent, however you want to define it. That is really what is

on the ballot. And they're trying to put us to sleep and have us focus on white black issues, LGBTQ plus issues, things that are not relevant in my opinion, as we're talking about the basic needs of Americans going into twenty twenty five, people are really hurting. That's not an exaggeration. People are suffering and hurting because they cannot buy their medicine, their social Security checks aren't going far enough, they can't pay their rent, They're having serious at their

grocery bills every week are crisis. That is what is actually on the ballot. If you keep listening to this nonsense by these politicians that you don't do your homework, you'll get confused on the election day on November the sixth, Your life will never get will still not get better for the next four years.

the numbers on this one. I hate to admit because I always think of things in terms of dollars and cents, and I looked at it like a regular can of you know, canned tomatoes, what you would pay at the grocery store and the court of can tomatoes that we made from our own efforts and labor, and after you pay for the cans and you spent a couple of hours, you know, washing and cleaning and the skinning and yah YadA YadA. I'm not sure the math. It really works

out to the homecanner's advantage. You can get a cad for a buck fifty at the store.

we couldgo today. It kicked off with the NIK then now the Nick and Japan isn't what it was in the eighties, right, It's still still a powerful, large economy, but there was a while where we thought, you know, the post war economy in Japan in thirty forty years ensuing World War Two through the eighties, we thought that was going to be the end all be all that we should all drive for, right, But ever since then, you know, in the thirty forty years since then, since

that peak, we've seen a very different story. So Japan's a large economy, but it has a lot of challenges that the United States economy does not have. But when you know, in a lot of cases when it comes to investments and market indexes and all those, you know types of things, when one region gets a sniffle, somebody else gets a cold. And so we saw a huge reaction on Monday to the in the overall stock market. Plus there there's always this underlying sense of doom, right.

We always feel like we're we have two ten toes over the ledge and we're about to go over the cliff.

here right now. So as long as you didn't read the headlines, it ended up being a big old nothing burger.

to get out of this. It's only going to get rockier and worse as as as we move forward.

talked about these things before. We've built a financial plan and we stress tested it, meaning we put together your goals, here's what you're trying to accomplish, here's the resources you have, and here's what it looks like if nothing bad ever happens.

so don't worry about it too much. That's I mean, that's peace of mind, right, I mean, that's really what you're looking for with in terms of your financial plan for the future.

So as I've done this for thirty years, and so what that means is that I have thirty years worth of conversations with with terrified clients, crazy situations either related to the market or maybe somebody's personal situation, and the perspective and the value and an advisor is somebody who can basically say, hey, look this is how I this

is how other clients got through this. This part stinks, but here's some levers you can pull, and these are different, different approaches you can take to address the issue, whatever that happens to be. I'm not worried about, you know, artificial intelligence and all that stuff taking over my job because at the end of the day, people still want to make eye contact with somebody who can make them feel better about things by helping them see the forest for the trees exactly.

And I'm not talking about you know, I'm talking about literally globally, across the across the entire world. The stock market is based in New York City, of course, the largest chunk of it anyway, So anybody who wants to trade American stocks is going to deal with the American calendar. A lot of Americans are on vacation, so little things like that do have an impact on the market.

There are a lot of folks out there that won't even get a monthly or rather pay a monthly premium because they can handle the out of pocket responsibilibility that they would have, like say, un an Obamacare plan. There are better ways, and that way is to work with a team that covers. Since the John Rolman and his team, they pride themselves on being

experts in healthcare, not just health insurance.

He can find the best solution for your specific needs. And I emphasize specific

because they look at every person individually. You, your family all are individuals and each person may in your family may have a different policy or a package of policies. Same thing with businesses, they look at each of the employees. They can even improve your business's bottom line and make medical insurance affordable to those well your employees who can't afford it. Talk about employee retention. Can you imagine that

the benefits of having dollar one coverage for your employees. Yeah, that'll create some employee loyalty when they can afford it and they can. Working with Cover Sinsey, it's just a phone call.

and more falling behind on their payments. This is not a pretty picture, Brian James, considering how high the interest rates are in credit cards these days, most notably right.

You're just you're using it as a payment vehicle. So we're talking about people with rotating balances, meaning they don't pay it off and they're paying The article doesn't say

much about interest rates. But the whole reason the credit card industry exists, of course, is for the banks behind it to ultimately get loans out there at sixteen, seventeen, eighteen percent, sometimes twenty seven to twenty eight percent, because people forget that I got that sign up bonus, I got my miles or my rewards or my whatever last year, and now it's just a credit card and I'll just throw somem dobt on it.

the first signs of what I think is this. This is the death knell of the inflationary era that we're in. Prices aren't going to go back to where they were, right, We're not going to do that. That's not how things work. But at the same time, I think we've reached the point where even the profiteering part of the inflationary cycle, where companies go, you know what, our costs went up five percent, but I bet we can raise prices by

ten percent. Nobody's going to complain they were right. But I think we're now seeing the pushback.

Never cheap in the product. Elmer Hensler, Rest in peace, great guy. Anyhow, we're still we still don't know what Kamala Harris is all about. I started the other the Morning Show talking about that, and remember what she did support because we know that, and we don't know where she is is now. Her campaign website remains completely void of anything by way of policy. Now she promises that you know, in the coming weeks she's going to be

rolling this out. But we're getting very close to the election in early voting, so wouldn't it be nice to know what she's all about before you go ahead and vote for her? And I don't know how it is. I mean, we've got a couple of polls. Out of these newer polls, she got slammed on social media. Okay, here's a policy she could roll out right now. She said, when I am president. This is on her ex Twitter post. When I am president, it will be my day one

priority to fight to bring down prices. I will take on big corporations and engage in illegal price gouging to find that for me, would you please? I will take on corporate landlords and unfairly raised rents on working families unfairly. So you're gonna do a deep dive, case by case analysis of that, In other words, interject due process into the equation. How complicated would it be. Let's say she thinks McDonald's price gouging big corporation price gouging. You're gonna

have to prove that. And what is illegal price gouging in a free market where McDonald's is in competition with literally every other burger chain on the planet. There's only so much they can do. Corporate landlord's unfairly raising arounds our working families. Yeah, well, and taking care of their properties too. They don't do that much. And city Sinceinnat has been reeling with that problem for decades. Now go after a corporate landlord. They're out in some other city

or even country. It's tough to track them down. And when you finally track them down, they just simply change the corporate structure, transferring ownership to a different LLC, and you get to start the process all over again. Good luck with that. Imagine doing that on a case by case basis. But the follow up point on social media was, well,

wait a second. If you're going to bring down prices on day one, if you get elected president, you're already vice president of the United States of America and effectively president given where Joe Biden is in terms of the cognitive ability, how about doing it now? That was such a slow moving softball that everybody and his brother cracked it out of the park. What has she been doing for the last three and a half years. Facts don't why, but apparently she does. Why wait until you're president to

make that happen? If you haven't done anything about it so far. You won't start now. Another astute observer pointed out, someone tell her she's in office now, why hasn't she done any of this before?

she's not moving away from them. And yet we have two polls out Harris more trusted on US economy than Trump according to the Financial Times, University of Michigan Raw School, a business poll. And then you pivot over to this New York Times seeing a college poll with the headlines New York Times poll Harris leads Trump's in Trump in three battleground states. I think the polls reflect a little

bit better landscape for Trump than the headlines reflect. But nonetheless, I mean, considering everything we were talking about with Brian James, credit card bills through the roof. People can't pay their bills. Christopher Smitha was all over that subject matter this morning. But poor families out there that can't afford groceries and they've got to send their kids off to school. They're struggling to afford you know, the basic necessities for a kid to get in a school and go to school

each and every day. You know, clean clothes and the supplies. Are you worse off now than you were four years ago? And yet some people getting duped by this dodge, dip, duck, dive and dodge strategy the Harris campaign is engaged in. It was effective for Joe Biden. Are you going to allow it to be effective for her? Five fifty five hundred eight hundred two three talk odor Exit great products.

you five kr sea dot com. Get that iHeartMedia, a fc can stream wherever you happen to be and back to those two polls, which you know, I mean, I know Kamala Harris is enjoying this honeymoon period, this sigh of relief from all the Democrats who knew that Joe Biden wasn't electable. But you know what she stands for and what she's running on, and none of it, well, at least we think what she's gonna run on. She does have a record, which is what Trump and his

team should be focusing on. Someone gave Jad Vans huge props earlier this morning about how he's able to stay on focus, stay on message, and you know, and and well get the message out about what the Trump team stands for, what it is running on, and all the terrible components of the Biden administration. Donald Trump of late, you know, gets a lot of press form just calling Kamala Harris names, and of course calling Timmy Timmy Wall's names as well. And that's not what we need now.

Whether Trump is actually attending these events and actually talking about policy to the extent he is, he's not getting any credit for it in the mainstream media, nor should anyone expect that to happen. But if he doesn't call names, then they won't report on that component of what he's messaging on. So that's my only criticism right now at Trump is that he's got so much going for him in terms of the economy and the record from the

Biden administration that he should be sticking with that. And apparently Jade Vans is doing a good job of that right now. But this New York Times Siena College, what does it say when I asked the twenty four election were held today, fifty percent of respondents in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania going with Harris. Forty six are going with Trump.

How is this possible? According to the Don Levey, the director of the Santa College Research Institute, it's a new race across a Russbelt battleground state now the former president Donald Trumps facing Harris instead of Biden. Harris has opened up leads of four points in those states with strong support from women, younger votes, Blacks, and those with college education. Yet Trump continues to be seen by voters as better on the economy, better on immigration, but by smaller margins

that he had over Biden. So, knowing nothing about what Harris is actually running on, just merely substituting Harris for Biden has given people some sort of I guess feeling that Harris is going to do it better on those those extraordinarily important issues, most notably immigration. How could you score Harris better than Biden on an immigration unless you want to lay the blame for him for putting the

responsibility in her hands. The other one Financial Times University of Michigan Raw School a business poll, forty two percent of voters say they trust Harris on the economy, compared

with forty one percent who go with Trump. Again the numbers unchanged for Trump, Harris's standing jumped seven points on that one, merely because she's not Joe Biden, even though she hasn't articulated a different vision or path through the future beyond what Biden has given us and she has given us Americans still citing as inflation as their biggest concern.

Survey showed only nineteen percent of voters believe that they're better off today than they were when Biden took office, and you're saying the mere substitution to Harris makes things better. Of those surveys, sixty percent said she should either break completely from the president's economic policies or make major policy changes to his platform, proving my point she hasn't articulated

different vision. At this point, we are only running on what we know about her, which is the antithesis of what the surveyed folks sixty percent of one, which is moving away far away from the current economic policies of this administration. So, you know, confusing results built into the poll. I'm just surprised that just merely subsidiing Harris for Biden has resulted in as much of a jump as it has.

We'll wait and see how things move forward and if she comes up with any policy points she wants to actually run on.
