55KRC Thursday Morning Show -- 4/10/25

an approval. Yes tomorrow we'll have him on. I believe what was it seven thirty is what you got seven thirty, So we'll still get that update on what's going on in Ukraine and Russia, which is kind of fallen off the map at least in terms of reporting on it. You know, it was dominating the news and back and forth. It's amazing how the news cycle changes. I know that ward in the conflict is still going on, just don't

really have quite a handle on where it is. I think the latest news I read as Russia was making further inroads into Ukrainian territory, which I think that's what Daniel Davis has been pointing out for the last several months, not full year anyway.

Speaker Johnson also delayed the vote on the Senate budget resolution. A lot of conservative Republicans holding out for promises of greater cuts to government spending, which if you're going to hold out for something, I think that's a worthy holdout. And the Senate has a paltry four billion over ten years, which is they spill more than that on a daily basis in the federal government. But anyway, we'll hear from Congressman Davidson on a variety of topics. Of course, we

have no shortage of topics to talk about. Brian Resider with the book Landridge, Cash Poor, My Family's Hope and the Untold History of the Disappearing American Farmer. Brian's going to join the program in eight of five talk about that book. And of course I have a lot of farmers in my lineage, including the fact that I married out of my element OutKick my coverage with my wife,

daughter of a dairy farmer. And while I have never you know, you can't fully appreciate the life of a small farmer, especially a dairy farmer, until you see what it requires. And oh my word, it is the toughest job. They're all, I mean, they're proud of what they do, the work that they put in on the farm. And you know, again, dairy farmers you got to milk those cows twice a day, or they don't produce and you

don't get any income. You can't leave, or you have to have other people there to take over the job of milk and cows every day. It's just amazing how much work's involved in that. And it's not exactly a fat bank job either. My wife did not grow up in the lap of luxury at all, but she understands the value of hard work. And I always like to point out it's an interesting thing. You know, they never really had much. Her dad built their house with his

own two hands. You might think, oh, it's probably a ramshackle house. No, you know, not large ranch shaw house. But I was always amazed at the brick work. The man was not Amazon. But you you could take a ruler with millimeters on it and go around the entire house and measure the width of the mortar between the bricks that he laid himself, and you couldn't. It wouldn't be a millimeter off. Everything was absolutely perfectly laid. And again,

he wasn't amazing. He wasn't a trained brick layer. I don't know how he figured it out, but he did. That's the kind of thing you had to do. She grew up in a small, small house, three total bedrooms, her her twin brother, and her two sisters. You spend most of your time outside. There wasn't a whole lot of room to roam around inside the house, canning your own food and the interesting story, you know, when you

get it used to a lot of amenities. And then the nineteen seventies, stagflation comes in and people are struggling, and people are without jobs, and people are you know, complaining over the prime I remember people complaining of the price of coffee. A gasoline with shortage. You had lines around the corner rationing of gasoline and things like that. You know, you had your if your license play ended in an odd number or an even number, you were allowed to fill up or you weren't, in order to

keep the lines of traffic down. For gas stations, I actually had gas. They didn't know any that was going on, really, I mean, maybe aware of it because of the news, but their life didn't change. They went on with their lives day to day. Nothing changed, you know, they didn't struggle or suffer more because of what was going on in the world. But then again, you know, when things bounce back, their lives didn't bounce back any greater than it was. It was a sort of a static line.

And it's kind of an interesting and you know, I think fascinating, a neat concept. But when you're pretty much self sufficient, that's the way it is. You up happy. I don't know. Anyway, we'll talk about the American farmer eight to five started golf on that tangent. Jay Ratle, fireheart media aviation expert. I always looked forward to Thursdays at

ay thirty. Today, unruly passenger causes a sixteen hour delay, calls for a boycott after airline is selected for ice deportation flights naturally and an emotional support animal mix up strand as a passenger and her emotional support support animal in Puerto Rico. Good stories of Jay. So what happened yesterday? Wow?

Because more than seventy five countries have already reached out to the White House to negotiate a solution on the new duties, he said, those countries also have not retaliated in any way, shape or form against the US, which was what he said up front. Here, I'm gonna here's all these tariffs are gonna throw on you. Seventy five percent for you, thirty five percent for you, depends on what their tariffs were on US goods. Of course they weren't as high as some of the countries had on

our goods. But he said, hey, you want to negotiate, come on, let's negotiate. You don't want to negotiate, We're gonna leave it that way, or maybe even get worse, which is exactly what happened with Beijing. China now facing one hundred and twenty five percent tariff that hours after Beijing said it would be imposing higher tariffs on US products. I think they bumped theirs up eighty five percent, so not wanting to play ball, you get worse tariffs, or

it's going to remain the status quo. You want to play ball, you get a tariff pause. Now, all this argument in this discussion exists outside of the realm whether any of this is within the executive branches authority. And of course we had these conversations yesterday, of course with Judge Ednita, Poloitano and others have also observed, like Congressman Massey, that you know, this may be extra constitutional, but ignoring the legal realities of what's going on, it's literally going

on before our very eyes. And what happened. The stock market blew up in a good way. Everybody's screaming and moaning, yelling, oh my god, we're all gonna die. We're gonna go into a recession. And I don't know what's gonna happen today,

But futures are up. If I'm looking at this correctly, and I'm staring at the top scroll of the Wall Street Journal, which has futures, they're all up for this morning after yesterday, huge jump after Trump's announcement on this pause yesterday, Jones Industrial Average jump more than two thousand points five point seven percent, and I think if I'm looking at this morning's futures, it looks like seven point eighty seven percent up this morning NASDAK eight point seven

percent bump, and right now I'm staring at twelve point one point six on the future scroll up. S and P five hundred probably the best indicator of the you know, at least business health as opposed to the S and P or as opposed to the Dow Industrial Average. We hear that about that from Brian James all the time as well as others. S and P up six point eight percent yesterday, at least as of the reporting on

the article I'm looking at. But across the board, the markets went through the roof, erasing all of the losses that people struggled with over the last several days after the TERFF announcements. So negotiations in play. Maybe we'll come up with some free trade that would be good for the global economy, I would argue, And look Canada, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Karney pledged yesterday to negotiate new economic

and security relationship with the United States. This after he announced the pause, the pause and reciprocal terrence and now by President Trump. He said, is a welcome reprieve for the global economy. As President Trump and I have agreed the US president and a Canadian Prime minister will commence negotiations on a new economic policy and security relationship immediately following the federal election. That is what Canadian Prime Minister

Carney said. He goes, you know, after the federal following the federal election in which he is projicted projected now to win again, So.

China Chop attitude. Yeah, maybe bold. Could any other president have tried to accomplish this?

trade relationship. Could be that that toaster may be manufactured in oh, I don't know, India or some other country. We're not making them, that's for sure, but it may be that we can get those items and goods from some other countries that we have established a better trade relationship with. I know that would create a trade imbalance with those countries because we'd be buying all this stuff

rather than from China from them. But at least of the countries that come immediately to mind, that might have a less expensive manufacturing position because for all the reasons China does you know, no osha, no EPA, no regulations, cheap labor. At least they don't want to destroy us, which of course the Chinese Communist Party has hell bent

on doing. Five eighteen fifty five Cacity Talk station five on three seven four nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three Talk Crabbage.

In fact, there's a beautiful over hang like a balcony that's filling up more because really during the whole Horseshoe parade route, they're about five or sixty and just a thunderous applause because we start to parade all the way in the entrance to the ticketing area and of course throw all the way down the other end. I mean, they can hear the bagpipes and it's just you know, I know what's coming, you know, And like you say that,

they're glad to be home. So there's a little bit of rejuvenation when they get off that plane, but as soon as they really realize what's waiting for them, just like you said, allergy moment. But oh yeah, spring flights are so special in DC because you get a lot of eighth grade and high school trips to our nation's capital, right and on three different on three different occasions, there was a eighth grade from Columbus that went out of their way to shake their hands when we were at

the World War Two Memorial. When we were at the Marine Memorial, the Regima, you know iconic flag raising statue, there was a group a high school cliffs from Los Angeles and the one father said that as we were breaking up from our picture, he said, could a couple of the vet's stand with our students? He said, because my father fought in Vietnam and I want to be able to tell them what these men did.

K through twelve. I'd say that maybe fifth grade, sixth grade come up and shake their hands and it was like it just, you know, at no prodding from an adult, they just seem to wander over and shake the hands of the veteran I was accompanying. And how about in the welcome home ceremony where they're young people there as well.

for providing the update. I really was looking forward to hearing from you this morning because I honestly, if I had to put all my money down on something, I would have put it down on exactly what you just got done, saying that it was a huge turnout and that you know a lot, and that young people actually

showed up. I try to encourage that, Mike, because it's a great opportunity for young people to experience something they probably rarely experience, and that's a healthy dose of patriotism and respect for the American military and those who have served, so including you, Mike.

The Board of Elections, which he referred to as pathetic with an exclamation point. City of Cincinnati residents, it's early voting time. Let's get out there and cast a vote for Corey Bowman, good Man.

Finance Chair Brian Stewart of Ashville said that the two twenty six is actually an increase from the amount that the school's got in twenty twenty five. Some the Democrats argue, say that's misleading. I don't know what the reality is on that one. But the reason I bring it up.

twenty five years. Browns are asking the state to borrow six hundred million for the new stadium by issuing bonds that the state would then repay. That will be you repaying with interest including increased sales tax revenues, income tax revenues, and commercial activity tax revenues from this what they call Brook Park project. The stadium total costs two point four

billion dollars just just blows my mind. Cour to the team, they say half of that's going to come from private sources and the public meaning the taxpayer is going to put the rest of the bill Kuihoga County taxpayers, among others, six hundred million going to be coming from them. The remaining six hundred million dollars from this date, which means that's you and me feel good about that.

and Kenwood Road. So they were routing people off Montgomery and having them reroute around to Kenwood Road and then get back on seventy one at Kenwood. No injuries reported, No cheese spilled onto the highway. Chan drove past that the high speed lane going northbound. It was the semi and the accident had intruded into the northbound lane, but he didn't stop and get cheese. Let's shut down about eleven thirty pm last evening, according to Sergeant Robert May

of the Hamilton County Sheriff's Officers. So I guess it's still being cleaned up. I have no idea because I can't look out a window because I don't have one. In other local stories, a Green township man's been accused of following a senior citizen home and robbing him of his car at gunpoint, leading police on a chase. Twenty seven year old Mark Adam's now facing charges of aggravated burglary,

aggravated robbery, and fleeing police. Green Township Police say Adams followed an elderly man home from a Kroger on Glenway Avenue Tuesday. When the victim parked his car in the attached garage, Adams pointed a gun at them and stole the car. Victim called nine to one one police started following. The officers said they had to stop chasing at it because he was driving recklessly and putting people's lives at risk.

They later found the stolen car parked behind a house Adam's estate at Police said they also found documents with the victim's name on them inside the home. Adams now at the Hamilton County Detention Center on a three hundred thousand dollars bond. Obviously did not appear in front of Judge Silverstein. Five thirty five fifty five care see the talk station you an I have any problem?

off the market? Nope, So just one of the topics he's going to be talking about during the seminarch and I should be fascinating anyhow. Over the stack is stupid. A teenage customer was choked by a McDonald's worker after the girl walked behind the counter to take some ranch dipping sauce after not being helped by an employee. This, according to Florida Police, seventeen year old return to McDonald's lobby when a Keen Samson, thirty one years old, grabbed

her arm. According to the police report, when the teen tried to break free, Sampson allegedly grabbed her neck and took her to the ground, then, according to the complaint, choked the victim again while they were on the floor. This in Saint Petersburg, Florida. As his tradition. Criminal complaint doesn't reveal how much a many ranch packages, if any, were secured after the victim crossed the McDonald's front counter threshold.

to the felony count. Judge ordered Samson not to have any contact with the victim and directed her to stay away from the area of the defense, which as this smooking gun accurately observes will likely impact her tenure at McDonald's. E Let us go to Wayne Kunny, Kentucky. Monticello man arrested and is facing numerous charges of the police say he was found walking naked on a highway court to

the recitation. Deputies at the Wayne County Sheriff's Office responded to a report of a nude guy walking down Kentucky thirty two eighty six. There they located James K. King, who told deputies he was quote going to get some pants close quote. Officers said he appeared to be under the influence of a controlled substance and became disorderly, repeatedly kicking the door of the patrol car while being taken to jail.

related incident. Probably not, right, King been charged with indecent exposure second degree, public intoxication, controlled substance, and disorderly conduct second degree. Also arrested on six outstanding Wayne County District Court warrants, including multiple counts of contempt of court, failure to appear, public intoxication, criminal trespassing, and possession of drug paraphernalia and again probably not a bong. Court record show King left rehab on an agreed order related to several

of the underlying charges. He was taken to the Wayne County Detention Center where I'm suspecting probably still less, stick around more stupid five fifty one at fifty five per CD talk station number five karosee dot com. Bet your podcast in your iHeartMedia app. Tha can listen wherever you happen to be, like my wife is listening right now in Chicago for her.

of March March thirty. First criminal complaint says the momb called police while she was waiting for her child to finish dance lessons that she spotted this naked guy in the playground, saying his genitals were fully exposed. When police got there, she showed him a video of the guy running away. Had a witness helped direct police to where he ran off to. Police found pants on the playground that had a wallet and ID for Nicholson in the pocket.

Nicholson quickly found and detained. According to the charging documents, he was placed into a police cruiser so no one else had to look at him. Also reportedly belligerent after being put into custody and taken to the Altuna police station. Police noted that they had to physically remove the shoes from his feet, which was the only thing he was actually wearing. They also saying the charging documents that he

refused to give them an address. Placed in the Blair County Prison thirty five thousand dollars bail with a hearing schedule for the sixteenth set, Wanda go drugs on that one too. Enraged therapist. Oh my god, an enraged therapist. That's next level stuff. Anyway, She got arrested after finding her daughter in bed with a naked guy. Doctor Kimberly bird Rider, fifty eight arrested on a charge of battery

in her home in the community of Oxford. I don't think that's our Oxford, to be quite honest with him.

man friend. That's how he's described to the article. Bird Writer's struck her daughter in the face with an open hand. The man fled. Bird Writer was successful in kicking him prior to the quick exit, although it does not describe where she kicked him. Bird Writer told police that her daughter quote meets strange men on the internet and brings them back to their residence to have sex with them.

Close quote said she doesn't know the men and is not comfortable with them staying at the residence, a position which I understand. But apparently this woman is of age. Bird Writer said she's asked her daughter several times not to bring the men into the house. Bird Writer booked into the sumter kind of detention center where she was initially held without bond. Well kick her out of the damn house. He's obviously an adult. This isn't a case that involves child molestation.

journal belonging to Guerrera, which contained the incriminating entries. On the same day of the ford's owner discovery that the vehicle is missing. Guerrera road quote totally stole a car today, something I never thought of doing. Effings, super freaking out about it. Close quote. Guerra denied knowing that the vehicle was stolen when she was first confronted by Officer Kaneki or Sheriff KANECI, please obtain the journal from her mom, with whom Guerrera and her boyfriend had once resided. Prior

to the rest. She'd been working as a door dash driver, previously convicted of theft, driving with a suspended license, driving without insurance, and was on probation when she stole the van.

this morning. It is again in Chicago at a conference. So there's a couple of hearts showing her that I love her and telling her that I'm thinking about her. Thank you for indulging me on that. Getting out of my system while I move over to let you know. One hour from now, George Brunneman returns to the studio. He's gonna be talking about the Restored Liberty dot Us event. We talked touched on that yesterday with Americans for Prosperities

Donovan O'Neil. The event is on Sunday and everybody's welcome. It's a tax event. So George of Restore Liberty dot Us at seven oh five fall by Congressman Warren David. So we certainly have a lot to talk about with him, including tariffs and Oh my god, the world was going to end up until yesterday when Donald Trump announced a ninety day pause because seventy so far seventy five countries have stepped up to tell Donald Trump and the Trump

administration that they want to haggle. They're willing to sit down and negotiate better trade terms. So he said, okay, I'll pause for everybody who's willing to sit down with us and talk about it. We're gonna, you know, stop

these tariffs from taking effect. China, however, went the opposite direction, so you know, they added eighty four percent tariff on US goods that are in the country after Donald Trump imposed one hundred and twenty five I don't number which back and forth, but they're going the exact opposite direction. But the market reacted quite favorably to Trump's pause and

so great illustration. As I mentioned the last hour, Jim Keefer had lost a substantial amount during the sell off, and of course if you looked at your four oh one k or whatever else you had your stockholdings, you probably lost a significant amount as well. He got it all back and then some yesterday they described it as the third biggest sort market across the board market surge ever,

or at least since World War two or something. But it was a massive reclaiming of the losses that had occurred, because, of course, the people are sitting down in the suggestion that we might engage in some open and free to way trade that's going to be good for everybody, so happy to see that, and again ignoring whether or not any of this is legal or within the executive powers.

That's the conversation I had with Judgent in apo Altana yesterday, and you can feel free to look that up and listen to what he had to say, because it's probably not and I share his constitutional analysis of that. But this is the reality we live in. There is that nineteen seventy seven law that allows an emergency emergency authorization to use these tariffs, and that's what Trump asserted it under.

And whether or not there is an actual emergency, because the fentanyl crisis was the original pretext for the Mexican Canadian increase of twenty five percent, and that apparently was interpretedly too. It was interverted too broad, and it impacted things far beyond Canada and Mexico. So he had to shift gears and claim we have an emergency which authorizes

him to impose tariffs because of the trade imbalance. Well, the politano and the statistics pointed all out rightfully noted that the trade imbalance has existed since the nineteen thirty so not necessarily in an unforeseen unexpected event, which is what constituted it's an emergency. Plus, there's some question looming around there as to.

I don't think that's ever been tested in court. It may under these circumstances, But after yesterday's rebound, and if things keep going along swimmingly, there's not going to be a whole lot of I guess probably willingness to attack and go after these negotiations because they may lead to

a better place for everybody. So I'm just trying to keep that in mind rather than you know, putting my constitutional and lawyer hat on and wondering whether any of this is actually legal or not, but you can rest assured at least as of yesterday, you got your money back if you didn't flee the markets. And Brian James

on Money Monday would tell you never do that. Stocks go down, stocks go up, recessions happen, then they come out of them, and over time you always end up on top with long term investments.

that couldn't possibly be the reason, could it. That was a post he put on X earlier this week, and so Schumer had to respond to that, of course, because of course the Department of Government Efficiency has been exposing all the fraud, waste, and abuse, including social Security, and Schumer has been accusing of the Department of Governmental Efficiency of sabotaging his word social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, which is an absolute, outright lie.

lot of fraud involved in Medicaid. Millions of illegal immigrants now hooked up to the Medicaid system, which people are claiming that the Trump administration is trying to harm. If you get rid of them and take them off Medicaid because they're not eligible to be on in the first place. And you get take these folks off the rolls of taking money out of the Social Security funds, which really

honestly don't exist. That's saving the system. So it's an outright lie when you say that they are trying to destroy those systems. They're doing more than any other administration prior to help save and salvage them by getting rid of well fraud. So Sumer fires back to this suggestion, sort of you know, tongue in cheek suggestion that hey, you're on the take. Could that possibly be the reason that you're against us doing what we're doing? Sumers responds,

another elon lie. He wants you to think that anyone who dares to stand up to him is committing fraud. Here's the salient part. Meanwhile, he's taking tens of billions from the government. Close quote, Oh, so you went to work today and yesterday and then he passed. However long you've been in the work world paying federal taxes. He's taking tens of billions from the government because it's the government's money. In the hearts and minds of most leftists

like Chuckie Schumer. Anyhow, it's an obvious lie, and you know, someone gets in your face and starts telling you that you know just well how to ask them how it is that the Trump administration or Elon Must specifically, or anybody involved in ferreting out all this crap is taking something away from you when every dollar they save that does not go out the door in fraud is actually a dollar that's going to actually go to someone who

is within the legalities of Medicare, Medicaid social Security lawfully taking the money authorized to eligible for it. Meanwhile, over a socias security, the Social Security Administration announced this week that it's planning to perform an anti fraud check at least on claims filed by phone and walk back services

over the phone quote beginning on April fourteenth. The agency announced on x the Social Security Administration will perform an anti fraud check on all claims filed over the telephone and flag claims that have fraud risk indicators. This after a DOGE findings of waste fraud abuse, such as non citizens getting the Social Security numbers and payments to accounts said to be one hundred two hundred and even three

hundred years old. Again, how is eradicating those names off the active ranks something that's bad, unless, of course, if you believe Elon Musk's tongue and cheek comment that some of our politicians are benefiting from that. Why else would a politician reject the idea of getting rid of those active social and security numbers when these people clearly do not exist at least any longer. Don't you find something

openly and obviously nefarious about that? I mean, they's so wed to the anything Trump or his administration does is bad position. That's something that they used to out loud advocate for. They're on tape, they're on video, they're on record. This campaign promises we're gonna ferret out the fraudways and bus over in the Social Security Department. But they never did anything about it. So it was okay when they said it and promised it, even though they didn't follow

through on it. But now that the Trump.

good thing for the country. They're so wed to their anti Trump, evil orange man position that they can't even give him credit for something that should have been done a long time ago, something that should have been part of the core mission of all of these government entities to have a fiduciary obligation perspective on the dollars they have taken from you, to responsibly manage them to efficiently run their individual lettered agency. Doesn't that sound like something

that's good for everybody? Isn't that it like an apolitical thing, something that lacks a partisan stripe. I mean, why can't we all embrace that concept?

sixty sixteen fifty five KRCITY talk station. Feel hed to call five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three talk found five fifty on AT and T phone. I am pleased to recommend to you, and so many listeners have taken me up on my recommendation ussay insulation for better comfort in your home and energy savings. Of course, energy saving is a tough thing to accomplish these days, giving the electric bills keep going up and up and up. Maybe the

Trump administration will do something about that. I can't guarantee that, but what I can guarantee you is six two fifty five krc DE Talk station, get a ready to go straight to the phone.

But I think Trump has actually come to reality that he's not God. He and he has to work with these people instead of sitting up there playing the puppet manster.

the markets reacted quite favorably. I mean the markets went through the roof of his record day of teff trading yesterday, and you didn't lose any money. If you didn't sell anything, you didn't lose anything. Because a financial plann would be quick to tell you that it's like what's my house worth. It's worth what it's worth the day you close, not before.

You don't know what's my portfolio worth. Well, right now, at this moment in time, it's worth X, but tomorrow may be worth something less than X, and the day after maybe X plus.

all these instantaneous transactions done by computers stuff. It's not like the old days where you had to call up your broker and people looked at actual things that are important, like pe ratios. Sometimes people just trade on a whim, you know, meme stocks and things like that. It's a crazy thing out there. That's why I'm not involved with financial planning. I don't think about it. I never look at my four to one K until I have my sort of semi annual meeting with my financial planner and

get a lay of the landscape. So that's why I don't get anxiety because I don't look. I don't know how much I lost two days ago, and I'm sure it was a good chunk. But I feel pretty confident, like you, Jim, that you made it all back yesterday. What's gonna happen today? Don't know, Dot Dallas Trading. Look at futures are down point smps down point one point four NASDAK futures one point six down. So we might lose a little bit of today. What will happen the

next day, God only knows. Pat, hang on, I'll take your call in a minute, I'd say, already out of time. Here at six twenty six to fifty five KR City Talk Station. If one called six thirty two fifty five CAR CIT DE Talk station five one three seven four nine fifty five hundred eight hundred DY two three, you talk Brian Thomas here inviting me to call like Pat did. Pat, thanks for calling this morning. Welcome on the morning show.

so it's easy to do. Hammon Kenny Bard of Elections has all the information posted on the website, which is vote Hamilton Countyohio dot gov, so you can probably find out the answer to your question right there. I'd vote Hamilton County, Ohio dot gov.

this morning. When I was pulling in to the Montgomery Road exit, and thankfully that's where they were diverting people, so I got diverted right off or where I normally divert anyway, moving people down to Kenwood and then Kenwood back on to seventy one. So they're cleaning it up.

Wreckord was on the scene and my producer for Today Covin for Joe Strekker, Sean McMahon said he drove past the coming northbound the northbound lanes were closed because most of some of the wreck had, you know, crossed over the dividing strip Therehile House passed the budget and you're not going to be happy about it. Ignoring everything else, Let's focus on stupid six hundred million dollars from for bonds for the grand and glorious mega complex for the

Cleveland Browns. While makers agreed to put six hundred million in bonds toward the new Brown Stadium, a one hundred and seventy six acre mixed use project filled with stuff and things, they asked the state to borrow six hundred million for the new stadium by issuing bonds debt the state would then repay with interest using increased sales tax revenues, income tax revenues, and commercial activity tax revenues from the entire Brook Park project. Taxpayers basically on the hook for that.

They say it would cost the state one billion dollars to pay off that debt over twenty five years. Stadium cost two point four billion. Every time I read that, it just puts bile up in my throat. Half of it from private sources, they claim, the public footing the rest of the bill six hundred million coming from local

governments like Cuyahoga County taxpayers. So they're going to feel the sting that Hamilton County taxpayers did with the Paul at the formerly known Paul Brown Stadium, and then the remaining six hundred million coming from the state.

If you have Karcite talk station, maybe feel differently about that one. You're not going to change my mind on taxpayer funded stadiums. Six forty one fifty about kars De talk station.

top of the R News. So there is the correct answer to the question posed by Pat and apologies, I didn't have that in the forefront of my mind. But then again, you know, I got limited random access memory going on up there, and the older I get, the less space there is in there. It's like when you choose to commit to something to memory, you've got to like throw something out that's in your hard drive. I've

I think this is kind of way my life goes. Anyway, I'll read this real quick here because if you weren't listening this morning, in the five o'clock hour, we heard from Curbage Mike my submarine, her friend who is very very much involved in Honor Fly Try State. Dianne Benicki, the ambassador for Honor Fly Try State, issued this to everyone. She just quick note to say thanks to all to made the trip out to CVG for the all caps best welcome home ever, which is kind of the way

Mike described it. The ambassadors and the sales tables scattered throughout. We're able to answer questions. Thanks to the Essaar and Dar and others who made up the color guard. Thanks to the Hibernians and the Emerald Society pipes and drums who so wonderfully led the parade. Thanks to the staff at CVG for loading as part of their space for the celebration. And a heartfelt thank you to those who gave handshakes and kisses to those veterans returning from the

trip of a lifetime. Most of these returning last evening did not receive this kind of welcome upon the return from duty. And of course she's referred to the Vietnam vetters, which made up the mass of the majority of those there. She writes, I saw a great deal of emotion in the eyes as well as amazement at the size of the crowd. Thanks again, remember we do this again. Put it on your calend Wednesday, May twenty first. Hope to see you then. It is a wonderful event to attend

the return home celebration. So thanks to everybody, he was able to make it. And I got a big chuckle out of this. I guess this masa make America's showers great again. Donald Trump did another executive order yesterday repealing a ruling by the prior administration and the Obama administration

restricting water flow from shower heads. Back in twenty twenty one, the Department of Energy under Biden reversed a Trump era rule that had removed the Obama administration's limitations on the flow of water from your shower head at two point five gallons per minute. So one administration, you know, screws you over, and another one comes in and gives you the freedom to choose, and then, of course the following administration, under a different political persuasion, takes the right to choose

away from you. And in terms of shower head, I would much prefer a higher flowing shower head. And that's kind of how I got a chuckle out of this article, because apparently Donald Trump likes it too. So yesterday in the Oval Office, Trump recented the Biden air's standards and said this, he's so goofy. Sometimes in my case, I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair, I have to stand under the shower for fifteen minutes until it gets wet. It comes out, drip, drip, drip.

It's ridiculous. And he'd made prior statements to that effect before, but apparently in connection with this executive order, they called how and they called out how much legal ease was used to define, you know, a showerhead, saying the Biden administration was a The Biden definition was a staggering thirteen thousand words the Oxford English Dictionary, by contrast, to find

showerhead in one short sentence. So the order apparently impacted other limitations done by the Obama and Biden administrations for everyday utilities such as gas stoves, water heaters, washing machines, furnishes, and dishwashers, noting that this administration will aim to end quote Biden's dumb war on things that work. Close quote amen to that, listen. I'm all about choice. If there's a more efficient product out there and it's available, fine,

but don't take away ones that work from us. Quite often, they these so called more efficient products cost you a lot more money to acquire, and this is another illustration of you know, who's the fascist, the government that's telling a manufacturer they must limit their product to do x, Y or z and it may not exceed some random arbitrary figure like two point five gallons per minute. Where did that come from? Why isn't a two point eight

or two point one? I don't know. Oh, I'm sure they've got statistics that you and I paid for some random government study to say two point five is about all the people can tolerate. But offering one that uses less water, you can market that saying, you know, if your water bill is really high, why don't you choose one of these lower flowing shower heads or do what the vast majority of us do. There's that little restrict in there, that piece of plastic that's about, I don't know,

a quarter inch wide. You stick a little knife or a pin or something in there, and you pop that guy out, and you magically turn a two point five gallon per minuted shower head into something that actually works.

I mean, I got a blower right above mind that pulls all that out of the house. But even if you don't have one, the amount of pollutants that come out of it are very, very minimal. And of course people aren't dropping dead left and right because you use

a gas stove. But that's just one cliance among many trying to take away your furnace from you, trying to take away you'r hot or your hot water heater from you, micromanaging industry and limiting the American people's choice in the name of some religion out there that many people don't believe in, including me. Offer it as a choice, let the consumer decide, much in the same way I argue about electric vehicles. Some people love them, some people don't.

Let us choose and let the market forces decide. It's been a successful mechanism and a successful concept for almost as long as our country has been around, well up until the last couple of administrations. Anyway, six forty eight fifty five ker CD talk station, a forty six fifty three to fifty five pair CD talk station, and a very happy what a Friday eve to you?

be taking care of roads and it doesn't. So we're supposed to allow the state to borrow two point five billion dollars to further fund something that's supposed to have already been funded. I'm sorry, I gotta go a hard no on that one. And well, I know George Runham has already told me to say vote no on issue too, but I take him at his word. But you know,

having read the language, which you can find yourself. Just search Ohio Issue to twenty twenty five in your search engine and you two can read the lange, we'd and jar your own conclusions about that. I haven't seen the arguments for or against, but you know, I thought roads were supposed to have been paid for.

check out what's going on there. George Brunneman. It's always a pleasure of seeing you in person and talking with you.

Early voting has already started. It's not just City of Cincinnati, which I've been focusing on because you know, Corey Bowmen's been on the program, you know, like what freshing alternative to the current you know, Democrat runs city with all the problems and all the issues, and so issue too

flew completely under my radar, to my embarrassment. But I'm happy to admit that, yeah, even I don't know everything that's going on, but a statewide issue, and it's a two point five billion dollar general obligation bond basically for infrastructure, including fifty six point seven percent of it apparently directed to roads.

billions of dollars in a slush fund. So it's a bond saying we're going to have this bond out there that they can use whenever they want for whatever projects they want, as long as it fits in that you know, infrastructure category. But bonds are basically future taxes. So if you're going to have this two point five billion dollar bond, it means at some point we're going to pay ten x that because it's a loan and you got interest

rates and they're sky high now. So I mean, not only is it the wrong time to be taken a loan because of the instru it's just learn how to spend within your budget money well, and if.

They actually did that too, I forgot, did they. Yeah, so my hybrids, my cars are both hybrids, and so I got an extra I think it's like seventy five fifty bucks or something like that that I have to pay for my license plates because I don't use enough gas. Okay, Well to me, that's fair. You use the roads, pay for the wear and tear on the roads. Okay, but I live on the West Side, so like, like Corey likes to say, his speech is, we don't need speed bumps, we got potholes.

to well connected developers and contractors. Absolutely absolutely, all right, Well, we had a Donovan and Neil for Americans for Prosperity. Who's teaming up with you for the Sunday event? Yes, the Restore Liberty US Sunday event at Double Tree Suite's Blue Ash sixty three hundred East Kemper Road.

You know, computer systems that don't talk to each other, and therefore we got millions of migrants on our Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. It's like, this is ridiculous. So the focus is going to be on the on the spending side of it. So why are we spending so much? How do we make these permanent and how do we push it down to the local level. You know, the state

budget increased twenty percent. What the heck are they thinking other than I've heard part of that is the cask thank you of expanded Medicare, and now the federals aren't kicking in everything, so we have to pay that of Medicare and Medicaid, Medicaid Medicaid Medicare you pay for Medicaid, you get exactly. But and it was all funded by the federal government, so that made it a okay, like

ninety percent covered by the federal government. But I remember arguing against that, saying that this day was coming that they were going to take that funding away.

You know, be an electrician, become a plumber, you contrary construction work. There are literally thousands of jobs available out there, and it's an interesting skill. I mean there's a difference between, you know, sitting in a desk using your brain all day and sitting at a job site using your hands and arms. I find both of them fulfilling. I don't know why they treat one differently than the other either. Of course, I grew up with a dad that you know,

was a handyman. Did everything I didn't. I suggested, joke, black electrical tape or WD forty. If either of those didn't fix it, Dad, that would hire somebody out. And you know, necessity is the mother of invention. So when my wife and I bought our first house, we lived in oak Park, just outside of Chicago. While I was practicing up there, the house was one hundred and twenty five years old and it had been mostly updated by the prior owners. For that twenty percent that still need

to work. That was before the internet. I would go to the library and I'd get a book on electrician you know really, yeah, I ran wire. I did hardwood floor work either. I even did plaster and lathe work. I had all kinds of woodworking projects and you know, I learned a lot because, you know, I didn't have a lot of extra money to hire somebody out to do it, and it's expensive to hire a contractor in Chicago.

You think it's bad now here, Lord Almighty. You know, it's just was like, well, honey, we're either going to put that one off or I'm gonna have to.

We got Adam Matthews Rodney Creech coming in from Columbus. Uh, Columbus is a big deal right now? Is income tax? Getting rid of the income tax? Yeah?

digs in there. But every time we talk it he outranks you. No offense to my west side further out or that was a joke, But we actually got news yesterday that Vivek is going to be sending us a video message for the for the thing tomorrow, as is Bernie Marino to I mean Sunday Sunday. Sorry, Sunday Sunday. So if you come to the if you come to the Double Tree, you'll hear from Bernie Marino, you'll hear

from Viveake. We're still trying to get Warren Davidson to send us something, but we'll give him a shout out when he's on here. Coming up on the program at seven forty this morning. Cool. But then we also have Mark Pokita. Have you ever interviewed Mark. He's with the Grassroots Freedom Initiative. He's going to give us sort of the facts on what's going on fiscal wise in Ohio. So he's going to talk a little bit about issue too. He's going to talk about the new budget, what they're

doing with property taxes versus income taxes. So it should be a you know, a fairly eclectic presentation.

textbooks as the example of the worst public private ever. Well, it's because both people negotiating were sitting on the same side of the.

that's Sunday, Sunday rather Palm Sunday. Was just getting ready to say that's why I can't either. Mom's having a radio for dinner, looking forward to that. Double Tree Suites, Blue ash doors open at four thirty. Complimentary buffet dinner five o'clock speakers at six, So nice opportunity to hear all the folks that he already went through.

in my lifetime. Although I guess I live through the late sixties without being ware of the politically, I wasn't old enough to understand what was going on. So it's not a violence isn't a new phenomenon. But all of this, you know, attacking people's car, you know, I mean these the Tesla's were like the darling of the green folks, the zero missions, unbelievably efficient and and amazing electronic wonders.

Right in my engineering world, my last gig was actually modeling every electric car made in the world, and nobody can touch the efficiency of a Tesla the guy is just so far out there, and you watch what his team is doing. He's brought in these whiz kids and the nerds have just been let loose, and they're finding all these you know, just crazy connections and lack of connections, all of this you know, fraud, waste and abuse. And suddenly he is ground zero four. He's a Nazis. He's

stealing your money. It's like, I don't understand it. And my main concern is, you know, especially Schumer, they're going out there lying about everything. Hey, he's lying, you know, I mean literally lying.

going on and saying, wait, a minute, he's talking about social security. I haven't heard a word about that. He's got to be lying. So if the lies don't work, are they really going to keep going down this route of we need to kill Trump, we need to kill Musk, we need to go after and attack his business so he's bankrupt. I think that's a horrible path. And if you think back to the summer of twenty twenty and all of the violence that happened then compared to January sixth,

which is always the you know what about that? January six was a was a show. I mean, they had so many plants in there that this was just a show.

Republicans looked at that and said that's wrong. Democrats look at what happened in twenty twenty and what's happening now with the cars that are saying no, that's that's an actual reaction to the current problem. We should be destroying Tesla's right. And you also notice that January sixth was one day, one day and a couple hours. Actually this is an ongoing day after day phenomenon. The rallies over the weekend, the attack of Tesla showrooms, the organized protest

against Elon musk and and the Trump administration. People spray painting private property. These Tesla vehicles that were once great and now are somehow Nazi mobiles.

And one of the problems we face, and I know you wanted to put a plug in for your other online and health related effort. George So, and they're remaining a couple of minutes, why not shift.

table there for Restore Wellness. We're going to be having a raffle for a set of the books where you've got the lies I taught in medical school, lies your doctor tells you, and the Casey means book Good Energy. Those are a fantastic trio book, so we'll be you can get them for a dollar instead of the fifty five or whatever costs for the set. Yeah, we had a lot of people ask about the books you recommend,

and there is a link. There is a link on the web page and we're going to have all of those books on at least the sheets for all of them on display so you can read through it. We'll give you the key R code, so it's real simple to just point your phone at it and you can order it off Amazon. But yeah, every sore. Well this has been going great. We're going to try and you know, get that rolling out as well to throughout the area. But I just wanted to make sure people were where

it's still going on. It's it's gaining strength. Yeah. Well, and so I got to ask, how's it going with the working out while you're watching television? Well, thanks you for kicking me in the butt.

is sit and watch Netflix after the show. So I want to because I want to clear my mind of the colossal craft that we deal with every day. So I did get a set of adjustable weights, and so now I pull them out and I do reps and I feel there, and I'll wait a half hour and I'll do another set, and so you know, I'm obviously not ripped, and you can see through my sweater here, but it's I'm doing something well and every the whole point of all that it helps, Every little bit helps,

and it's amazing how little steps make a difference. So, you know, get rid of the high frucos corn serrup that's been done for a month now, and that's that's why how I lost weight.

money back. Yesterday when Donald Trump said he was sitting down with what seventy five countries expressed the desire to negotiate and work out something, including Canada, that sounded like, you know, they wanted to push down for maybe open free trade, open trade, and maybe just get rid of tariff's all together, but at least sitting down at the table and talking about it resulted in this ninety day pause, which the markets exhaled and went through the roof. Your reaction to all this going.

as he was meeting with them. Since June of twenty twenty three, he put out a video in June of twenty twenty three, saying exactly what he was going to do on his campaign website, and then he got an office and people acted surprise that he did it. It's like why would you. I mean, he says he's going to do things, he does them in his campaign promises, and this is one of them. And the big thing that people didn't get about, why are you putting tariffs

on our allies? Well, one, they're not treating as fairly, that's true, but the biggest thing is they refused to help with China. So what happened is China misplayed this badly, and now we've built a coalition. We've set up the opportunity to get the allies, our supposed allies, and the people that came forward and said, well help. Part of helping isn't just fixing your trade relationship with us, it's

fixing our collective trade relationship with China. China's been taking advantage of everyone, stealing our intellectual property, blocking market access, and part of why China has no leverage they don't allow us access to their market. So, okay, put your tiarfs at whatever you want, but it's not going to hurt us as much as our tears are hurting you. And that's what you're seeing turmoil in the bond market because China needs to keep selling off things to create

liquidity to hold their currency pegged low. It's their currency manipulation practice. So this is a well crafted play. It's a big part of why Scott Bessant became the Secretary of Treasury.

have credible audits. But China's stocks are essentially tracking stocks because they're not going through the same level of scrutiny, And so you could easily just hold the Chinese companies to the same standard as everyone else, and while they would be delisted. We've got nearly three hundred thousand students in the United States from China. America has about thirty thousand students in China. So we go ahead and say, well,

you know, you can't study here. And honestly, China expects their students to spy on Americans in order to be eligible for the student visa. So you know, there are all kinds of tools that we could use here. And look, I think honestly, Donald Trump, Scott Besant, myself, and most of my colleagues, we would love to have a friendly relationship with the people of China. Chisha Ping, that's he's not that kind of guy. He's not the same guy that Doung Chaoping was. And that's the kind of deal

that happened. It opened up China is you had kind of this mindset that we can engage and bring China into the fold. Now they may have been in dishonest the entire time. But culturally, the phenomenon in China is just radically different under Chijuping than it was under Hu Jentao. And you know, if you follow anything much about China, who Jintao was the guy that Chijiping purp walked out

of their People's Congress at the last time. He was the former president, former leader, chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, and just a very different kind of approach to foreign engagement. And Chijiping is essentially like Mao mal Or.

Oh that maybe that's why he wrote nineteen eighty four. Anyway, turning over to the Senate budget resolution, which I saw, Speaker Johnson canceled a vote yesterday evening on the Senate budget proposal. Apparently there's some good holdouts in Congress that want to, you know, get more promises of cuts. And my understanding is the Senate proposal only cuts four billion over ten years, which is like how much we spill on a daily basis, and House Republicans were looking for

more like two trillion in cuts. Where are we on this?

don't find the votes three months from now. Find the votes now. And you know, they're having a hard time getting people in the Senate to commit to promising to save money, let alone on final passage. When all the deals put together, then there'll be a lot of pressure to get it done because the tax cuts will have been negotiated, the spending cuts will have been negotiated, the

debt ceiling limit will have been agreed to. And here's the thing the House said, look in exchange for one and a half trillion as a floor, we will raise the debt limit by four trillion dollars. Now, when are

you going to normally make a loan? For the loan officers out there listening, when are you going to make a loan of four trillion dollars when somebody promises to only find a way to come up with one and a half trillion, and you know darn well that they actually over a ten year period don't need four trillion, they need eighteen trillion, right, who's going to make that loan? Well, that's what basically Congress is doing with either of these bills.

So even the House bill isn't very good. But instead at one and a half trillion dollar floor, the Senate bill said, we'll see your four trillion, we'll raise it. We want five trillion, and we're only going to commit to four billion in savings, which is like a day of interest payments exactly. That's insane. That's insane, and you know there's there's no Now. They promised privately in the Senate. Part of how they got some of these good senators

to go along with it. They promised privately, Well, we're really going to come up with two to three trillion, put it on paper exactly press conference, in publicans say it at least, but they're all, well, with the quiet whispers behind the closed doors, you know, we really think we can come up now we're done with the hollow promises stuff.

of the fraud wasted abuse in government. These are hard earned taxpayer dollars taken from our wallets because we labored for it, and they don't seem to care a whit about where the money goes. That message has been projected loud and creative the American public.

guys are great. It's with the Senate the Senate always fails us, and you look at it like where's the pressure. There's always like pressure on House conservatives, and you know the reason we can't have nice things is conservatives in the House. Right when was their pressure on the Senate? I mean, there's not even a cross word to a senator. When was their pressure on the Senate when they were negotiating this crap deal of four billion dollars in savings

that's crazy. As they were doing that, where was the pressure being applied to the Senate? So right now, I think that's the thing that's like, You've got a couple dozen of us that are just like, look, I can't vote for this thing without something further. And then you know, there's there's jet fumes out here and everybody wants to get out of town for Easter break and Passover and all that. You know, maybe that'll make everybody come come

together and do a reasonable deal. But I think those of us that are dug in on we're bankrupting America and I'm not going to participate in it, are in for the fight. And it's like, look, we don't want to be obstructionist in the sense of you know, getting the agenda done, but we do want to be obstructuralist. If you're planning on driving to the crash site colassing us in a dip bomb, we don't want to participate in that.

so truly. Like the idea that the United States could have problems with our economy in the world economy be okay is crazy. I mean it is, and that's kept us propped up for a long time things that everybody knows isn't sustainable, and that's led people to falsely believe that, well, we can keep doing this. We can just print money. You know, we have the reserve currency. We can just spend more money and defits don't matter, and think, well,

a def sit don't matter, why bother collecting taxes? I mean, I used to be part of the reason why why people said, well, we want to hold the taxes low because they'll hold down the size and scope of government. But they've blown way past that. There's not even a talk about balancing the budget at this point.

business and business journalism and public policy. He has been published in like every single publication you can think of, USA Today, Newsweek, Yahoo News, Wisconsin Public Radios, Wisconsin Life. I could go on Real Clear Politics and go to

that site all the time. He also is an award winner Nationalist newspaper Calmness, first place in Seven Hills Literary Contrast Contest, and the Saul Sword And I could go on, but today we're going to talk about his very first book, Land Rich, Cash Poor, My Family's Hope and the Untold History of the Disappearing American Farmer. Brian, Welcome to the Morning Show. It's a real pleasure to have you on today.

When you hear the stories and the hardships that go along with it. It's not an easy life at all.

that we've been leaving our family farmers behind. That's what we do in the book. We dive into the hidden airs of history that are driving that disappearance. Why is it happening, and what's the consequence to all of us? And then we leave out with my family's story, and those are stories that are probably like the ones you heard from your wife's family stories. Is survival of you know,

weather farm accident. Second, iic up people from the depression to today, and you know, it's definitely a unique thing. It's a life deals with with both beauty and hardship that goes hand in hand.

how much one of those massive tractors costs. There are hundreds of thousands of dollars, and I just I can't imagine a situation where my my now late father in law, he lived in ninety three, I think years old, the idea that he could ever afford something that costs so much in order to just sort of just try to

keep up in terms of competing. I mean it, it's just it represents such a colossal challenge for small farmers to compete with, you know, somebody who's got tens of millions of dollars because they're backed up by major corporations.

So you get farms, whether they're a big, small, or medium, they are all trying to keep up with the jones and everybody has that pressure to get bigger or get out. A lot of our bigger farmers got that way trying to survive a lot of our medium and smaller farms. You ended up not making it because that we do still have a lot of family farms left in this country.

But it's truly against the odds. It's people like your father in law who are continue to work trying to figure a way to be competitive, to be efficient, to be resourceful, even though the economic crises and government policies you hit them in unique ways that people don't understand. And even though so much of our technology, to your point, has been leaving family farms behind. It doesn't have to

be this way, but it certainly is this way. With the deck stacked against our family farmer who's whatever their type or size, fighting to keep going well.

or the United Kingdom. But Clarkson's farm, you know, Jeremy Clarkson has this farm, and every show really illustrates the insanity of the micro management of government authorities over you know the types of crops that are grown, where they can be grown, you know the amount of moisture contact content in a rape seed, and it's almost as if they want to drive amount of business with rules and regulations. Then you keep on the whole idea of this climate change, religion,

col flatulence. We need to regulate that, we need to regulate how much space your chickens have or your pork has. I mean, it just adds so much additional cost burden and I guess paperwork on the small farmer.

who care about environment and farmers to work together. But the problem is our political debates divide everybody and we've got government that's really stamping out family farmers. I give you a one brief, perfect example. This happens. This stuff happens every single day, but there's really really serious times

in our history, or escalated in the farm crisis. The government was pushing more debt on farms to make them get bigger, and then within a few years they raised interest rates because they were trying to deal with inflation. You can argue forour or against the government trying to encourage farmers to expand you can argue forour or against

changing interest rates. But when you push debt on them with the government, and then you use that same government to make that debt more expensive, you wipe out tens of thousands of farms. My parents, we tell the story in the book. They just barely survived that they had been dealing with a drought and almost had to take out a bunch of debt right before the farm crisis hit.

They didn't have to do that because they've banded together with neighbors to get through that drought year, and they avoided taking on debt which would have wiped them out. In the nineteen eighties, just like happened to tens of thousands of farms, all at the hand of our government.

So I got farm stock on both sides. But the idea of community, and this is one of the more positive things and one of the realities of you know, when you ask yourself when you hear about you and I talking about all this crisis and the problems and the difficulties of being a farmer. There are so many rewards to being a small farmer. And part of it is that sense of community. Because the entire region where

my wife grew up, they're all farmers. They're all engaged in the dairy business or you know, or at least some aspect of farming. And when the hard times hit, when people you know, struggle with difficulties, they all step up to the plate and help each other out.

your point on neighbors banning together. You're absolutely right. That neighbor that I mentioned that helped my parents get through the farm crisis in nineteen eighty is what happened. Is he was an elderly man, didn't need all the crops in his field. My dad was a young man starting out and had fields that were barely putting up the crops. He needed to feed his animals. So they went what they call halves, and you might know this from your own family background, when you go have one guy does

the work and then they split the crop right. Well, the old man the name was Leo, and he refused to take his fair share. He gave my dad more of the crop than he ought to have, and my dad kept on going down there trying to pay him money. And you walked into the guy's cigarette, you know, filled living and trying to hand him money there after dame time, the guy said, you just got married. You don't know

me nothing. To take it and go. And we get emotional just thinking about what we've been gone for a number of years now. But if he hadn't done that, my parents would have taken out a load of debt, potentially just before the farm crisis hit. And it was that working together and that sense of local community that

really got people through. And by the way, you know, my dad was able to help this guy, but he put in extra hours, working around the clock to get the crops off this guy's field, and so it was people helping people, you know.

remained static. They continued to live at the same level, which was enough to feed them and satisfy them and pay the bills, and they it was sort of if they didn't have a newspaper, they didn't even realize the rest of the world was going through this turmoil.

at play? And it's so true that you know, when you're on the ground and the farm, you don't necessarily have a way to see the bigger forces affecting you. And then vice versa. Right the rest of the country that's living out some of those forces doesn't necessarily get a chance to see what's on the farm. And that's really the challenge. That's the core reason that our farms

are disappearance, because that disconnects. And here's the thing. It impacts not only our rural communities like where I'm from and like where your family has roots that are getting hollowed out, but it impacts every single American dinner table because when we're losing our farms, we're impacting the price, the health, the security of the food supply for every single American.

to corporate sized farms, Can they survive? And if there's something if the answer may be leaning toward no, because of all the things that we sort of scratch the surface of that you dive deep to deep two in your book, what would you change that might need to a better life for them or a more successful, lasting farm life.

jobs to keep things going. So these are families nearly two million families that are you know, continuing to fight forward even though we haven't you know, made the economics work in this country. Imagine if we made the economics work again. And so we do need to change things, and there's moves we can make that can inject new

entrepreneur opportunity out there for our farmers. We need to research and development revolution so that all of our technology is bringing farms of all sizes, medium and small as well as large along. We need to change our policies to make sure we've got fair markets for small businesses in this country. And we need to make sure that consumers who care about where their food comes from take steps toward buying from local farmers, buyack from a farmer down the road, you know that kind of thing.

I'm a huge fan of it. Is he has his own farm, and you know he is a big fan of you know, raw milk or some health benefits of that. My wife grew up drinking it, you know, straight from the Couch's as healthy as she could possibly be. So, you know, but maybe this RFK junior emphasis towards health might give that much needed infusion for the local farmer.

for consumers. We've got to make sure that we make those transitions. Understand that farms are small businesses. Then I have a whole lot of money sitting around to invest in new things, but they can make change over time. And if we can get focused on that and every consumer takes a step toward the farmer. I know the farmers are ready to take more steps toward the consumer.

you today. I appreciate you spending time with my listeners of me and for writing the book, which is now available on my blog page at fifty five KRC dot com so people can easily get a copy of it, and I strongly encourage them to do that because you will have a much more profound appreciation for the hard work that these men and women put in every single day. Brian, you take great care of yourself.

know Trump's you know, tariffs are issue. The mark goes crazy, trillions of dollars, dogs and cats, let me together, We're all gonna die and then lo and behold after him pausing it because so many countries stepped up to the plate and said no, we want to negotiate. We don't want to do retaliatory tariffs. We'd rather sit down and work something out with you. So he said, all right, we'll go ninety day pause. And one of my listeners, and you may have heard me mention it before, west Side,

Jim Keefer. He lost a substantial amount of his portfolio, but gained all of it back plus some additional yesterday.

The two emotions that I teach my students about are fear and greed. And if you can get the emotions out of the equation, you can make a lot of money consistently on Wall Street. But the problem is when people allowed the headlines and all the panic and things of this nature to start to, you know, influence their decisions.

You had people that were making some really rash and ill advised decisions based on what was taking place, convinced the market was going to continue to go down and it you know, you just got to stay away from the emotion part. And Warren Buffett, if I may, the guy that was being chastised at an investor conference in I want to say it was February because people were telling the fifth richest man on the planet that he was making a mistake because he had three hundred and

forty four billion dollars on the sidelines. They said that money should be in the market, come on, get it, and he's like, nope, I wait for stocks to go on sale, then I make my call. So I always think it's fun when somebody tells the fifth richest man in the world, he's doing something wrong, because you get to that point by doing a lot of things right. He doesn't panic when the market drops. He's just looking for stocks that go on sale and buys him.

On my success blog, I talked about how to survive and thrive when one of these market corrections take place. And they happen all the time, so if you can be prepared when it takes place, it doesn't catch you off guard. Be you don't panic, and see you've got a predetermined plane of action you're going to follow. Even if it means don't do anything and then do what

the big guys do. That the Warren Buffets and others look for stocks to go on sale, and I warrant obviously holds them for longer periods of time than our eight, ten and fifteen minutes that we flip stocks. Right, it's the same concept. You look for stocks and it's the specific point. If they reach that point, you buy them and you know exactly where you're going to sell them.

president from doing what he's doing. In fact, in the last little bit, it's about the only thing that they've really had to jump up and down on to point at. But it's also the president Trump's own doing, because remember he talked about when he was campaigning, if the market wasn't doing well, look under me, it did great, blah blah blah blah blah. So now that he's president, he's got to own anything if it goes up or down.

Now it's you know, you don't enjoy travel, you endure it to get where you're at, and it's almost like, you know, full contact rugby or something when you're trying to do it. So these stories, now that we've got social media, they tend to get out there more often, and there's a tendency to think, well, it's just because you know, we have the ability to get him out there.

But the numbers are up a bit. The problem is a lot of times when these people are involved in assault, they don't share that information with other airlines, And that remains one of my biggest pet peas, because if you assault somebody on American well you should not be allowed to fly in United where you could assault a flight attendant or another passenger, there should be some sort of consequences. And boy, what a headache we had on that American flight leaving JFK on his way to Milan. And that

just sounds so nice. Just get on a plane and you're going to Milan. You just sit back, relaxed, and you're gonna have a good time. Until four hours into the flight, you've got a passenger who gets into a heated argument with a flight attendant over what his meal wasn't what he had ordered, Lord Ques did, oh yes.

So the verbal argument then becomes a physical situation where he's actually shoving some of the flight attendants, and then he makes a dash towards the cockpit because of course the captain is going to be very interested in his particular problem, and they stop him, and then all of a sudden they turn that airplane around. They're four hours into flight over the Atlantic Ocean back to JFK's It was closest airport they could get to so for American airlines.

So you come back, you land, the demand is taking off, detained, I hope, arrested, and passengers will put up overnight. Sixteen hours after they left the first time, they're back on the airplane and then headed back to Milan. So it just goes to show it takes, you know, and there's people in Italy that are waiting for that aircraft to get there for them to take to wherever that next

segment was going to be. So you've got somebody that's not only impacting everybody that's on a flight, but people that are waiting on that aircraft at the next destination. And think of the people that were on their way to a wedding or reunion or you know, my family members on life support. I've got to get there before they pass away. And you've got this absolute moron, this acting up on this flight that is causing every other passenger on board to suffer as a result.

first to contain the individual. And every time I fly, I'll say hello to the lead flight attendant and let her let he or see know where I'm seated, just in case he needed an extra set of hands, because a lot of times you don't want to announce over the intercom, you know, do we have any law enforcement because I mean that's going to really start to bring

people out thinking something's wrong. And if they can just come back and whisper if it's a medical emergency to a doctor or nurse, or if they've got someone on their law enforcement or whatever that can help a situation, they want to do that. So it's a little bit, you know, let's telegraphed across the cabin, but they were calling for help to try to get this guy subdued

and restrained. They were able to do so. And then, of course because of that one person, I mean, vacations and all those kinds of things.

And you have the airline that flies to several cities that you have where the democratic leadership of those cities are saying, look, we're giving this airline some subsidies and assistance in order to be here, and we want those subsidies to be removed because we don't like what they

are doing. And of course the CEO for the airline says, look, if it's not us, as someone else, we're going to take the business because it's going to help our business and allow us to continue to help you know, people around the country as we fly because they're regularly scheduled airline. But if it wasn't, then would be somebody else. Yeah, so yeah, they've got a boycott and you know, I

we'll see where it goes or doesn't go. But it seems like the CEO is pretty much a look, I don't care, but this is what we're going to do because A it needs to be done and be you know, if it's not us, it's going to be someone else.

It clearly states that no large birds can be accepted as you know, emotional sport animals, so you just have to leave it behind. And she's like, I'm not leaving my pet slash emotional support animal behind. So she was looking a Frontier to do something about the situation that they created. And yeah, the last word I've not heard if they've got it worked out. But she was in essence staying in Puerto Rico till they got it worked out.

jerk the handle. Now, if people are not aware of the fact that the door can't be opened, obviously you're gonna have people freaking out thinking they're about to die. So you've got people diving on the individual trying to make sure that they stay away from the door. And yeah, in fact, we had one guy in a flight that tried to do it. They moved him to a seat away from it, and he tried to do it twice

on the same flight. So you know, it's just people that are acting this kind of way induce panic, and of course they'll never be allowed to fly on that particular airline again, and they could be charged for inciting panic. But most of the time the airlines do not even pursue that. All they're told is, you know, you're not

gonna be flying us again, and they leave it. And other than that, they may and should be getting a fine from the Federal Aviation miministration for failure to abide by the instructions of a uniform crew member, which can be ten or twenty thousand dollars, if not more. So, it's not gonna be something they're not gonna have some consequences for. But obviously you wish it was more than what it was.

some some rough weather, not dangerous, just uncomfortable. Make sure you've got your seatbelt fastened about you and get to the airport early if you're flying to or through the Northeast, because we will see some delays that are going to be kind of plaguing us for the rest of the day.
