7-25-23 Steve Hawkins

Hey, good morning there. It's five or six on seven hundred w l W. Steve Hawkins in for Mike McConnell. Liam in here this morning producing. We got you covered all morning long. Jay Ratliff will be here, he's our aviation expert. In the first half hour, we get Earl Pitts also right here on seven hundred wl W. And I hope you know what happened in the Reds Brewers game last night, because we're gonna need that for the Cincinnati Children's Change the outcome play of the game later on this morning,

so you can win a couple of tickets to a future Red's game. And you know it's gonna be hot, the heat wave coming to town. That means you need some ice cream. And what flavor ice cream are you? Based on your zodiac sign? Did you see this latest story from the New York Post. I'll tell you about that in just a little bit on news radio seven hundred wl W. Okay, if you're headed out to one of the fairs like Butler County Fair this week, gonna be hot. We've got

your hot heatwave forecast. It's all coming up in a couple of minutes right here on seven hundred w l W Baseball's trade deadline Tuesday, August first, Will the Ridges make a move? Who are they willing to deal away? Who are you willing to deal away? Listening for about latest trade news, rumor and analysis on the Home of the Reds seven hundred w LW Craftsman Electric Craftsman Electric Dot Com Attorney CPA Joe Cordell. Business owners and professionals face special

challenges. It means we need ice cream. You know. Last week was National ice Cream Day, as it is also National ice Cream Month since nineteen eighty for President Ronald Reagan had a thing for ice cream, so he declared that and this article came out in the New York Post. I don't know if you saw it or not. What ice cream flavor are you? Based on your zodiac sign aries? Is cookies and cream, So they say aries fights to be first. We'll go to battle for over the most noble or

utterly inane insane causes. Likewise, cookies and cream is a flavor embroiled in controversy and claims. Also, South Dakota State University maintains they invented the flavor in nineteen seventy nine. Eighties says that they were the professional first to have cookies and cream In nineteen eighty two, blue Bell on their website says they invented it. Also sounds kind of crazy right there, but back in the day aries goes all the way back to the Romans, would they would eat

honey covered ice sourced from a volcano? Did not know that? Taurus butter pecan, just like the average tourist, is devoted decadent uh Taurius rules the second house of values and procession, possessions and bulls, and are notable and notoriously weak for rich things, not the least of all foods that give them gout, and partners that they can provide financials suitability suitably. The pecan is also among the most densely caloric and highly fattening of all nuts and butter,

well you know, butter is butter. So there's a couple of I have these for you this morning. I guess the next one there is cancer? Is that right? I have to get that one here in just a second of what does zodiac sign are you? And ice cream flavor? Which which which zodiac sign are you? Brian? Here? I am virgo virgo. Yes, I'll have it for you here? Where do you guys going on? The City of Cincinnati is looking at the idea of bringing back speed and

red light cameras. You may recall the fight several years ago over whether or not they should be used in the city. Voters actually had a referendum on the ballot that banned their use so that the city couldn't use them to clock somebody's speed or send a ticket if they caught you going through a red light. Jeff Kramerton on Council has been pushing a number of different traffic safety measures to improve you know, crossing the street for pedestrians and to make the streets

more safe to walk and bike. And he thinks this is something that needs to be done, he says. As he talks to people in the city, he continues to hear the traffic enforcement is one of their number one concerns. I feel like police just can't do enough. Don't do enough really started during COVID when they didn't want to get out of the cars as much and pull people over. And now he thinks it's time to change the law and

maybe bring those cameras back. So he wants to see it put on the ballot in nove to have voters give the city the right to do it. He says, it's not about money. It's not about revenue. That was the complaint when we had this fight fifteen years ago, that it was just a money grab. He says, this is truly about safety and point to statistics. He says it chose it helps cut the number of accidents. And the money grab he says, No, okay, what are you gotta go

down? Five thirty Mike Brown says he wants to stay in Cincinnati the Bengals least. Negotiations with the county are coming up, and he's not sure what direction those talks are going to take. What we'll have details? Five thirty News Radio seven. I found Virgo here. Are you ready? Yeah? Virgo is strawberry. What flavor here? Here? It is? What ice cream flavor? Are you? Based on your zodiac signs? I mean I'm more of a cherry guy, but I guess that's closed. It's this earthy

and vaguely healthy. Does that sound like you? Oh? No, okay. Some guy named Alfred Crale invented the ice cream scoop and thereby improved the clean efficiency of the daily lives of his fellow man, and he was a virgo. Also, I appreciate that prudish, puritanical, or plain punishing. When it comes to their food habits, Virgos are most akin to strawberry ice cream, the flavors just healthy enough to be admitted into the temple of their

bodies and close enough to the source to qualify as quote unquote earthy. How about that? Okay, there you go, I can deal with that. Well, it's some more of this morning as we roll into rush are what ice cream flavor are you? Based on your zodiac sign this morning? Five eighteen. Your hot forecast is coming up next. Listening to Scott Sloan cleared up my sorrisis. People have made some strange claims about the Scott Sloan Show.

Listening to Scott Sloan protects me from space aliens. We can promise you that Sloane he takes on the real issues that affect you when your family has the interviews you want to hear, and always has a good time doing that. Listening makes cheese taste better. Anything else is a Sloany bonus. Listening got me a not guilty verdict. Scott Sloan I swear it's true. This morning at nine on seven hundred WLW, this is Barry Larkin. Let's talk

about heroes, people who make a real difference in the world. You can be a hero by registering as an organ I and tissue dogs. Today, maybe a thunderstorm or strong windshiale possible. It's kind of like yesterday. High today ninety sixty seven to night, and then ninety one tomorrow. As we get into Thursday, Friday, ninety three, Thursday, ninety four Friday, it is going to be a heat wave. Already is sixty four at your severe weather station. News Radio seven hundred W l W. Here said with

Sports seven hundred WLW, thank you, Stephen, Good morning. I Red's update. Kristin yellows hits at walk off homer or walk off single excuse me in the ninth inning off of All Star closer Alexas Diaz. The Brewers beat the Reds last night, three to two, despite going to for sixteen with runners in scoring position. The first place Brewers now own a game and a

half lead over the Reds in the NL Central. As the Reds had their five game win streak snapped at a tough loss last night game started at Lady La Cruz at the third pitch at a game to deep center, only to be robbed by the home run by former Cincinnati Bearcat Joey Weemer. But boy in the ending later day, La Cruz hit one to Oshkosh completely out of the Brewers Stadium for a two to one lead, but it couldn't hold up. So tonight it's a good old pitching matchup Andrew Abbott against Ace Corbyn Burns.

Coverage begins at six ten with Sports Talk Rouse American Grill, Inside Pitch at seven ten Kelsey Chevrolet Extra Inning Show after the game. Bengals Update. Bengal players report to training camp today. Workouts start tomorrow. Don't be late. Seven undred WLW alright now, seven hundred w l W. J Ratliffe is our aviation expert this morning and as always, how you doing, Jane? Well? They pushed the right button to see, hey how are you Jane? Dude? Well, I got I got a couple of fun topics

today. You want to hear him? Yes, they do. We got a passenger that tried to upgrade his coach seat. He didn't like sitting there. He wanted to send business class. Yeah, it was. It was a United Airlines flight headed to Taipei. And he gets up after the flight is left, Waltz is up to business class and says, hey, I like it up here better, and then he turns around. They played a

tenant escorting back Steevie did this on and off for two hours. I got to the point that the flight turned around, went back to San Francisco, really landed so they could get this guy off the airplane. I bet he was very, very popular with everybody on board that flight. Maybe alcohol induced that or crazy, I don't know, or somebody just felt like, look, you got an empty seats up here, why can't I sit here?

That's the case. And yeah, the second thing I was going to throw at you today was that Americans are soon going to need permission to travel to Europe. A passport is no longer going to be enough. We can use our passport for one one hundred and eighty four countries right now around the globe, but Europe is gonna start requiring us to fill out an online application for us to be approved to travel. Now, see this comes with a cost

of about eight bucks. So do you think this is maybe just a way to get money from us, but I don't know, probably so, But it's an application you fill out online. As far as when you're going to be traveling, it's good for ninety days within one hundred and eighty day period of time. So if you're going to be headed there in the near future,

check out my blog for additional details. All of that made possible by our friends at the Greater Cincinnati North to Kentucky International Airport, which now offers round trip fairs to Orlando for just forty nine dollars. You can find that many more great deals as always at CBG Airports dot com. You know what come to mind right there is, like you said, a money grab. But all the other countries in the world will start doing this. For if

Europe's going to do it, everybody else will start doing it. You know when you go to certain countries that visas are required depending on your lengths of stay in different types of things, and that's an additional around of paperwork, documentation and fees and what have you. But you know they're saying this is on a security side of things, where they're going to have acts or have a better data for people they're gonna be flying in and out of the country.

I don't see it as tied into any sort of an immigration issue or problem as I review all the reports when they're talking about this, it's something

that this authorization is going to be something that I don't know. It's it's going to kick off in twenty twenty four, and it just appears to be like airports when they started saying, Hey, we're going to charge passengers a dollar a piece coming through the airport, calling it a passenger facility charge at the PFC, which sounds really nice, and of course that dollars continue to

rise over the years. What about hub delays around the hot nation? Gonna have issues in Seattle and Tampa, those two airports could see delays, And of course late in today, Steve, we're gonna pop up thunderstorms. It gives us havoc all across the country. We ran into that last night at CBP with the ramp being closed for two hours because of lightning. All right,

Jay, thanks so much, Jay Ratler for our aviation expert. On seven hundred WLW, about four minutes away from the five thirty newscast, Mike Brown, owner of the Bengals, says he wants to stay in Cincinnati. Is that going to happen? We'll find out right now though with flag waving and right thinking all ticked off this morning, it is Earl Pitts American. You know what makes me sick? You know what makes mess about. I won't shove a weasel down my shorts and didn't get chased by monkey around the

mulberry bush. I know that image we're sticking you're in for a while. Today I won't talk about bragging because yesterday I was asking how come so many people like to brag on their bad luck the old times, going well with my luck blah blah blah, and they going to bragging by some calamity that would make them the sorriest pup on the earth. Well, anyhow, I

got thinking about bragging in general. There's two different categories, as far as I can tell, women bragging and men bragging on account we bragg on different stuff. Here's what women like to brag about their kids, how much weight they just lost, and who they could have married if they hadn't married the

loser they did. Oh, did I tell you my little Sally want a ribbon At the end of the year at the Science Fair, and I didn't mind going to Scoop for that fair because I fitted in pants I like so much again since I lost all that weight, and that it was sweet because Bob was there. You remember me and Bob had a thing in high school. Number one, It was a part ticipation ribbon. All the dumb kids got one. Number two. You might have squeezed into them pants, but

your butt looked like two armadillas fighting in a sack. Not a pretty sight. By the way, Bob is gay now. Man bragging, he ain't bragging out his kids because he'd been paying that much attention less they're in sports or something, in which case he's got the mental stats in his brain. Man bragging is mostly how quick they can get somewhere, how good they used to be when they played sports, and different good looking women that checked them

out. Runt Wilson said one time he drove cleaned across the state in three hours. Double Maker said three hours. I've done it in two and a half hours. Junior Maker said he done it once in an hour and forty five minutes. And he took the back road and I said, well, I just drove there and back while you it's his arguing about it. Wake up, Oh Marica, look at it. Woman in your corner of the ball and they're chicking me out. She's undressing me with her eye and I

go, yeah, by the way, that's Bob. He dresses like a woman. Sign. Other old pitch American Candice McGraw is the CEO of the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport, a job, she says, it's something to keep you I sometimes he eats something to keep you cool. Better look at now, though, Dave's got something. You tell what it is. I'm your ice cream man Stimm Bass thirty seven seven hundred WLW, the ice cream man for ice cream month going on. Did you see this? We've been

talking about it this morning. What ice cream flavor are you? Based on your zodiac sign? I have to ask Chuck ingramall about this in a little bit. I'm up to Gemini so far. Spumoni is what they say. They say the kaleidoscopic flavor profile. Spumoni recalls the chaotic brain man better of a Gemini. Hey, I'm just reading it. I'm not making it up.

Geminis are terminally indecisive, more than a little nutty, and statistically speaking, pretty into threesomes, making this trifecta of pistachio, cherry and chocolate studded with fruits and nuts utterly apt for this sign. There you go, Gemini, and one more this time. All right. Cancer is a cookie monster, they say. Cancers are seeking comfort seeking cookie monsters. They're regularly blue, comfort seeking, chock full of crumbling elements, cookie monster, ice cream

and cardinal water. Sign cancers share some commonalities. Cancer rules the fourth House and the ancestry and the broken poetry of the incorrigible, Eat your feelings, cookie monster himself. Home is where the heart is, and heart is where the cookie is. So the math means home is cookie. So if your sign is cancer, you are cookie monster flavor ice cream in this Gracious it

is hot out there, isn't it? All right now, we'll get your forecast coming up, and also another Bloomberg Market minute coming up next seven hundred WLSW Cincinnati, available everywhere with the iHeartRadio app now number one for podcasting seven hundred WLW and iHeartRadio station Money money, money, making sure you get your piece of the pie.

The Fed kicks off a two day interest rate setting meeting today. A quarter percentage point rate hike is expected after a pause in the long running rate

hiking campaign last month. The Fed is still working to bring inflation down to its two percent target, and stocks started the week with moderate gains, ranging from two tenths percent for the NASDAC to one half of one percent for the DOWE. Gina Servetti Bloomberg Radio WLW. The topic of the day, Chuck, I'm listening what ice cream flavor you are based on your zodiac sign, and your zodiac sign is aries, so it should be like cookies and cream

if it's gonna match me. I already did that one because I'm an aries. Also it's it is cookies and cream. There you go, forget about that. Well, I can't even remember in thirty minutes what I was. Well, I'm gonna think of it. There's not too many ice cream flavors that don't. Yeah, I was looking this morning when I saw this for aries, I marked out cookies and cream and just put all I am all ice cream flavors. Really, there's not a whole lot of them that I

won't. I won't partake absolutely roads of Cincinnati. You see anything a little bit of trouble early on, not on the highways.

Thank you Stephen Good morning. It was Christian Yellow with a walk off a single and they not bottom of the ninth inning off All Star closer Alexis das As. The Brewers beat the Reds last night, three to two, despite going two for sixteen with runners

in scoring position. The first place Brewers now own a game and a half lead over the Reds, who had their five game winning streaks snapped. Here's Reds manager David Bell. We faced this before him and won. And this team does have good pitch from our guys and won. Maybe what they want to be in the fight with these guys, and you continue to um to overcome the situation we're in. You know, the season was gone against this

team. He has entered the ninth inning and didn't get it out. He walked Blake Perkins and then allowed a single to pinch hitter and pinch hitter and former Red Jesse Winker before Yellows drove a grounder into right field for a seventh walkoff hit of his career. Yellowch on Ballet Sports Wisconsin. Yeah, I mean, we left a lot of guys um the scorn position to night just couldn't break through. We had a lot of traffic and then we don't finally

came through there at the end. Game started with led look who's hitting the third pitch of the game to deep center field only to be robbed by a homer off of a home run by former Cincinnati Bearcat Joey Weemer. But in the third inning, day La Cruz got to revenge, hitting one to Oshkosh, Wisconsin completely out of the Brewers Stadium for the Reds lead, but they

couldn't hold it. The series A series continues tonight. Great pitching matchup Andrew Abbott, the young left hander going for the Reds five and two two to end ERA. He'll be opposed by the Milwaukee Ace Corbyn Burns nine and five three three forty nine ERA seven Up to wllw's coverage six ten with Sports Talk Ralph's American Grill Inside Pitch at seven ten Kelsey Chevrolet Extrinning Show after the game. Bengals Up Day. Bengal players report to training camp today, first work

out tomorrow. Head coach Zach Taylor's ready. Yeah, We're ready to go. You know, I think when you get the rookies back on the fuel, there's always that signal that it's upon us and obviously hoping it's gonna be a long season. That's the plan, and so mentally we're all checked back in and ready to tack. How about Bengals owner Mike Brown, you got a Joe Burrow contract update? We would agree you and I that Joe Burrow

is the heart of the football team. But I have agreed and Katie as well, my daughter, that we are not going to talk publicly about the negotiation with Joe Burrow. His agent has agreed to that, and he has stood by it, and I plan to stand by it as well. So much as I would like to answer that, I fully understand why you ask

it, I'm going to have to just say not this time. Tennis two hometown pros have an awarded wild card for the wild cards for the upcoming GUSS and Southern Open next month, and Mason JJ Wolf and Peyton Stearns, Bill Dennison seven ter tell me about U Sports I Major League picture Hunter Green for your next new card, go to Jake Sweeney Chevrolet Fine New Roads and get up to sixty two fifty off silver Audo crew Cap fifteen hundreds only at Jake

Sweeney Chevrolet. Yes, running a small business takes grit and determination and a communications provider that's got your back. That's spectrum business fast We're not going to take to keep the Bengals here. That's a good question. Mike Brown was asked yesterday the one time all year, Only once during the year does Mike Brown talk to the media in a formal way, and that was yesterday.

Most of the discussion centered on signing Joe Burrow, sure, as you might expect, and he said that's their number one priority, but they are also starting the process of negotiating a new lease with Hamilton County. The commissioners have made it very clear that they are not going to spring for many of the things that are in the current lease if they feel like the county got sold a bill of goods when that deal was done when the Paul Brown sta Adium

at the time was built. Mike Brown yesterday saying that the negotiations have started, it says he knows it'll be difficult, but says the Bengals want to stay in Cincinnati, there's no doubt about that. He said that a couple things that they're not asking for. Says they don't want a dome stadium, They're not asking for anything like some of the other teams have started building, like in Buffalo where they're doing a two billion dollars stadium, because they don't

want a dome. He said. They are not asking for a billion dollars to stay as some people have reported. Budd He says that they want to be on par with the other teams in the NFL in terms of facilities. It says, they don't own the stadium, they don't control it, so it's up to the county to make the Bengals home, you know, suitable for the team and suitable so that they can compete going into the future. Didn't really talk much more beyond that, said that there's a hard push on

their end now to get underway with the stadium talks. The current lease goes to twenty twenty six and after that, who knows. The Bengals have made some improvements on their own for this season. Now. They're going to show those off a little bit later this morning and we'll have that cover for you. They didn't say kind of the stuff that they would want. I mean, it's all like infrastructure there. It's it's I mean, the stadium needs

bones, structure, kind of improvement, elevators, stuff like that. Then beyond that is what we're waiting from the county. They've got a consultant who's doing work on what kind of other enhancements are needed. One thing that's clear the Bengals want is a lot more areas inside the stadium where you can watch more informally. Okay, so you know, the Breads have a lot of different like standing areas and plazas and stuff like that. That will be a

huge part of this design. You know, the the infrastructure improvements are going to be close to a half million dollars or half billion dollars and then whatever you know, cities and little parks. She had on from there. It was just gonna make the bill keep going up. All right, what are you working on? At six, we'll talk about the heat. That's about the Grip to Trice date has it scripted much of the nation this month? Those details and ten minutes News Radio seven thanks so much. The latest on

Yeah, that was a detour that I had to take this morning, that one in Anderson. You're talking about law. You're being blocked off road closed signs up at Royal Woods and I'm assuming across to Newtown Road for a tree down. I'm still working and trying to

find out exactly why the road is closed. The big point there is that there's no warning that those road closed signs are coming up, So you have to take an alternative.

Looks like North Korea? Added again, I understand they fired two short

range ballistic missiles into the Eastern Sea today. Yeah, that's the latest. They've gone about about two hundred fifty miles they're about and it's it's very very predictable. Um. You know, we had what last week, we had the USS Kentucky, a nuclear armed submarine, a dock on an import in South Korea. Now we have a nuclear powered USS Annapolis sub arriving as well. Yung Yang pyeng Yang does not like that. It's you and I know,

so what do they do? They fire some more missiles and this was the third round of missiles in a week, so it's just you know, increasing the tenches. What is the motivation for the US administration to do this right now? Knowing fully well that guess what, the North is going to fire some more missiles. But we are where we are, and it's interesting to find out the take maybe some of the National Security team that would be you know, trying to make these decisions and figuring out, you know,

what did you expect from the North when you do this? If I remember correctly, in the last couple of days, South Korea and maybe the US told North Korea that if they did fire or were provocative with these nuclear weapons that it would be the end of their administration. Is that correct? Well, yeah, yeah, they think Again, the rhetoric is being amped up, and you would think that the objective is try to amp down some of the rhetorics, but we're not hearing that right now from the Biden team.

Any negotiations or diplomacy going on or will be going on. No, hasn't for a long long time. And of course we have this tertiary issue of the private who has jumped over high pailed it into North Korea. Finally, yesterday we found out from the Deputy Chief of the UN Command at least the communication channel is open now with the North. But again, these things can drag out. We've seen from past experience as far as getting the person back

from the North, it's not snap your finger stuff. It's it could take weeks, maybe months, or maybe never, well possibly never, but generally in the past that they are eventually released. But isn't It doesn't happen quickly. Yeah, Tom, thanks so much for your report this morning. I appreciate it. Tom Rivers, our ABC News corresponded in London on seven WLW.

So now they're saying they could lose anywhere between four billion dollars and twenty billion dollars in value. Well, I mean it is the name going to be

called X instead of Twitter. It's the company's already declined when you think about it, significantly in value since Musk purchased it back in October for forty four billion dollars. All the changes losing people, a lot of celebrities, you know, Flew the coop. Technically, no pun intended for you know, other things. They're just for threads. Even though Threads seems to be having some starting problems coming out of the gate a bit. People don't care.

They just are just turned off by what's going on to some degree at Twitter. All right, And Adidas is doing a delicate dance. They're trying to make some money off of those piles of easy sneakers following last false counseled partnership with YEA formerly Kanye West, over his anti semitic marks. So Adidas is forecasting and operating loss of just under half a billion dollars this year, and that's better than the loss of nearly three quarters of a billion It warned if

it should lose its entire Yeasy line, it shouldn't be written off. So it's selling the shoes and giving an undisclosed amount to charities. All right, And American Wireless Network hikes their prices again, Verizon. This time they're doing it for the home Internet. The company already raised the monthly price for its phone that was a while ago last year, So now the company's hiking the

prices by ten dollars. If you use that home Internet service at the broadband it'll jump thirty five dollars a month later this summer, combined with top tier unlimited wireless plans and an autopay agreement. By the way, the company is expected to report Tuesday that it added two hundred and fifty more than two hundred and fifty six thousand home wireless subscribers in the second quarter, according to Annaly's

estimates. All right, and your futures look like well, we've got the downtown twenty five points SUPs up and the nasdeck is up sixty points from Bloomberg.

All right, it's six sixteen on seven hundred WLWE. Bryant Combs in here working on the six thirty newscasts. So this morning the city parks need money. Yeah, yesterday we talked about how road maintenance was so far behind in the city of Cincinnati. They need a fifty million a year, they say, just to catch up and to get roads in

decent shape. Today we're hearing that the parks department is facing similar maintenance issues. For years, the city is deferred maintenance, put off doing basic things that would keep the parks in great shape. Now the bill to catch up for that is some seventy three million dollars. Eden Park needs the most work, about eight million, just to bring it up to date and to take

care of the roads and the lake and other things there. The Parks Department not sure how they're going to pay for it, but they say that it's important to start to address the poor condition some of their assets. All of this seems to be coming out in advance of the issue that will be on the ballot in November as to whether or not the city should sell the railroad.

Oh, the money from the railroad sale, which would go into the billions, would be put into a trust fund basically that they would use the INFRAU every year to fund infrastructure projects. So it could take care of road maintenance, it could help update the parks. It could you fix up some of the buildings in the city that have fallen into disrepair because city council hasn't budgeted the money over the years to take care of the basic maintenance and the

lease that they're getting out from that railroad is not enough. That would generate much more money, they say, if they sold it and lived off the interest and what they get paid every year by Norfolk Southern to use it, and if you vote for it, it will come. What's going on at six thirty, we'll talk about the Bengals ready to start negotiations with the county over a new stadium Leaves. They say they're ready to talk, they're just

this is something we're monitoring and it's very concerning for us. Crypto has been in the headlines for a long time now, but several major asset managers like Blackrock and Vestco and some others have applied to essentially allow you to choose a fund in your four oh one K that includes bitcoin. So Franklin Templeton, another big mutual fund company, says cryptocurrencies can become regular parts of people's portfolios once regulations become clear in the U S. All right, would that make

investing in crypto less dangerous? It's nice that it's more accessible in a way. However, it doesn't take the danger out of it. It's still a speculative asset. So the same concept applies. Cryptocurrencies are not tangible if they're worth what they're worth. They're priced like commodities. They don't produce anything,

they don't pay dividends. It's all unpredictable, which makes it a risky speculative investment that's really not appropriate for a four oh one K. And the all Worth advice is we still believe crypto is something to stay far away from. All right, seven hundred w l W. Let's go to the phones right now and see if we can get a winner.

It's part of a bigger push by the Biden administration to improve mental healthcare in the US, something he brought up in he stated a union address a couple of months ago, trying to live up to a pledge that he made to get Americans the mental health services they need. And what this is going to do.

So they're going to propose a rule. There'll be a sixty day comment period where people can weigh in on this, but they're going to try to

enforce compliance from insurers with a two thousand and eight law. There's already something on the books that requires equality between the way insurers cover mental health and physical health, but interestingly it's hardly ever adhered to, and White House officials said yesterday that the law was passed to ensure that mental health was treated by healthcare, the healthcare system just like physical care, but insurance or so that insurance

can make you pay more for a visit to a mental health provider than your doctor. But it's not worked out that way. Ensures, they say, have evaded the mandate of the law. So they're just trying to crack down on violations of this and try to get more health professionals to mental health professionals

to offer in network care. Now, how do you try and make sure that this works, Like the effectiveness of this new rule is going to be based on how you do the compliance of this, and of course mental health advocations will be watching it very closely. When will this all come through? They say a sixty day comment period before implementation, so it's at least two months away, but it's something that the mental health community and advocates are saying

it's long overdue. And also today is Biden going to sign that historic proclamation about Emmett Till yes, today, we will hearing him driver remarks around noon and sign the proclamation establishing the Emmett Till and Mayne Till Mobilely National Monuments in Illinois and Mississippi. Today mars what would have until eighty second birthday, and the White House says that this monument will protect places that tell the story of

kills two short life. He's killed of course at fourteen years old, and his racially motivated murder, as well as the equill of his murderers, and the activism of his mother who brought attention to this case and sparked a big moment in the civil rights movement.

All right, it's about seven twenty three now, and Mike McConnell in the morning. Steve Hawkins filling in talking to Jay Ratliffe, our aviation expert to jam read your blog right there at seven hundred ww dot com where the passenger, once the upgrade in the airline says,

no, what a what a great story. We call them self upgrade. Steve. You know, here, I am back in this coach seat that I paid for, but I'd like to sit in a much bigger seat that they didn't pay for. So why not. Let's just what happened with this guy. I mean they actually turned the airplane around for it. I guess he thought it wasn't fair that people were sitting in nicer seats than him.

But it was a San Francisco to type flight. And the guy keeps going up to first class or business class, the flight tense keep sending him back. Well, it got to the point that it became just too much, and the flight attends told the captain. Captain turned the airplane around two hours into flight back to San Francisco, they land, they get the guy off, and then they continue on the flight. Hopefully he will get a bill for that fuel and diversion. It could be like, I don't know,

twenty twenty five grand or so, maybe more than that. I'll have to wait and see. But goodness gracious, I say it's ridiculous. I say, billing for the business class seedy one. And also, oh, well, that's true. You're up there this amount of the time. So hey, I like that idea, Steed, American, I do not like this. All right, Americans are going to need permission to travel to Europe soon.

A passport's not going to be good enough anymore. No, And I'm hearing a cash register somewhere in the back that keeps ringing, because what they're saying is starting next year, we're gonna need to fill out an online application form with a sea of seven euros or seven dollars and seventy nine cents USD to get permission to travel to through within the confines of Europe. It's going to be good for I think a ninety day period of time under naty day

window. Blah blah blah. Bottom line is they're seeing the demand for travel really start to pick up, and they're thinking, what's a really good way for us to generate some additional revenue. This is just Jay's opinion, but I'm right. It's a tax, it's a fee. It's something that they're gonna yet it's it's not to make airplanes better, it's not to combat global warming or whatever. It's just, you know, it's just the government's trying to get more from us. And if you don't agree with me, that's

fine. You can check out the aviation blog make up your own mind. But the blogs made possible. But the Greater Cincinnati North the Kentucky International Airports now offering round trip fairs to Orlando for forty nine dollars and you can find that more great deals at CBG airport dot com. What bothers me about this is Europe does it, and then every other country and continents and every airline is going to start doing it. Then right, well, you know some

places around the world you have to have a visa to come in. We get that, we understand why but this this online, I just it's stupid. Now. I'd love to say it's going to go away, but it's a lot like when the fuel prices used to go up years ago. An airline said reluctantly they had to charge us a fuel surcharge. But when the fuel dropped by seventy eight percent, Nope, crickets, they don't drop. We kept paying that same fee. Absolutely what our hub delays around the nation.

You're seeing Seattle and Tampa right now are the obvious problem children of the day. But see, we could have some late day issues with some thunderstorms which can slow things down at a moment's notice. So hopefully you're flying early in the day and you can beat some of those afternoon thunderstorms. All right, takes so much. Jay Ratler for Aviation Expert. This time every morning

My brand Comes is in here this morning working on the eight o'clock news. So what does Mike Brown want to stay here in Cincinnati? Good question. We found out yesterday a few things he doesn't want, Okay, says he doesn't want new multibillion dollar dome stadium. Doesn't need a billion dollars

to stay here. He said. The county has not started the process yet of formally negotiating the new lease to keep the team at PAYCRE stadium. Brown says, they're pressing them to start, but the talks haven't begun yet. We've got the twenty twenty six so a little bit of time before the Bengals lease would end. The current terms the county has said are unacceptable. Nay

want changes. Mike Brown says he is still looking for the same thing that this contract guarantees, and that is that the Bengals facilities stay up to date with the majority of the facilities in the league. He wants what the other teams has, He said, you know, I don't need the you know, the fancy new dome stadium like the one going in in Tennessee, or

you know, massive up grades like Buffalo's doing. Buddy wants to be taken care of, and once says, the whole foundation of this team is based upon that lease, whether it's the economics moving forward or you know, having a home. He says, you know, they don't own the stadium themselves, so they're kind of dependent on the county to take care of their home and keeping it up to NFL standards. We'll see how this all proceeds.

The county is in the midst of doing a study with architectural firm to determine the costs, and we know what it's going to cost, about a half billion dollars. Just fix the skeleton of the stadium to take care of necessities, and then whatever the Bengals want in terms of improvements, they'll go up and above that four ninety million. All right, what's going on? At

eight? We'll talk about the heat. We're finally going to start to experience the kind of temperatures and conditions that have been plaguing the South and west.

face claims it collected personal information of Edge Internet browser users. I use this without our consent. It's yeah, it's obviously in violation of privacy. Laws. The proposed class action claims that Microsoft programmed several versions of the Edge browser to gather a wide range of data relating to users internet browsing activities, internet searches, online shopping behavior, that sort of thing. The company hasn't yet commented on the case. All Right, farmers, I never thought about this.

They're working to keep their livestock cool. Yeah, get this, so you know, we know that livestock and crops are sweltering under this high temperature across the US, and it's adding to the agriculture industry's costs and threatening production. We've got chicken and port producers in southern States. They're using mists and foggers to keep birds and hogs cool. And cattle they're eating less feed in the heat, so's they're packing on fewer pounds and potentially costing producer's money.

And by the way, ranch hands and they're working, they're tackling tasks before the sun gets too strong or after dark. So it's really jumbling up a lot this extreme heat, all right. And the extreme heat is also threatening Europe's two trillion dollar tourism industry. And yeah, the frequency of extreme events in southern Europe pushing travelers and could to destinations in the northern part of the continent. The idealic summer vacation abroad that turned into a nightmare, remember,

for thousands of people evacuated from that Greek island hit or wildfires. So summers have been getting more intense than Europe, and the wildfires are just a grim repeat of the deadly fires that devastated the country back in twenty twenty one. The unbearable heat this year has forced authorities to shut down Acropolis and driven tourists on the Italian island of Sardinia indoors, and scientists say it could get worse.

Mortman with his latest book is The Fuzzy Pink Bathrobe and Other Tales of Law. He's an experienced attorney. J D. Thanks for joining us

this morning. Well, my pleasure to be with you. Your latest book is Crazy Story Worries from the Courtroom. First of all, you've been around long enough. You've got a lot of crazy stories to tell, right, Yeah, about fifty years of experiences. Well, tell us some of the strangest stories in your career in the courtroom. Some of the funnier ones are strange ones. Where do you want to start, Well, let's start with my favorite story. I was involved in as a JAG officer in New York

City and I was appointed to represent Private Hicks. Now, Private Hicks had been a serviceman in Korea and he was being evaluated after five years to see whether his disability was permanent or not. My commanding officer said he was obviously disabled. I went over and looked at the medical records and he had been a wire layer in Korea and had suffered a partial traumatic amputation of the brain and he had a metal plate in his head. So I felt that this

was going to be no brainer. But I met with him on a Friday. He came in. His shoes were spit signed, his trousers were increased, his fly was open, blouse was creased. But he hadn't shaved him for a couple of days. So I couldn't figure out whether he was schizophrenic or whether he was a soldier of the month. He seemed to be both of those. So I introduced myself and told him what it was about. He said, there's nothing wrong with me. I want you to fight for

my good name. Now that was interesting, because if he was competent, that's what I should do. He instructed me, as his lawyer to fight for his good name, but if he was disabled, I should do what was best for him. And who was I to decide whether he was competent or not. I I went on with the interview. I said, tell me a bunch of life. He says, there are two movie theaters in my town. Now I'm beginning to think this ski's crazy. I asked him

about his life and he's talking about movie theater. He says, I have two girlfriends, neither of who know about the other. One. One comes in on Thursday, cleans my house, does my laundry, washes the dishes, cooks me a meal, and I take her on to one movie theater. The other homes in on Sunday does the same thing. I can't take her to other movie theater. So now I'm really perplexus to where this guy's coming from. He seems to have his life put together than mine at that

time. So anyway, we go into a five member board of officers. The colonel introduces us. He's interrupted by Major Mike, the army psychiatrist, who says, private, I'm going to ask you, or tell you a few stories. Tell me what they mean if you can. He sneers, yes, sir. He says. The first one is don't count your chickens before the hatch, and Hicks, without hesitating, says, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. I said, that's very good.

He says, all right, let me And now the Major doesn't understand the answer. He's not able to comprehend what the story is about. So the next story is, let's say no stitch in time save nine, and Hicks says, unce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and then there's an embarrassing silence. The Major doesn't understand the answer. Then he says, well, bless me. Another one, don't judge a book by its cover, Picks says, all that glitters is not gold. So let me

see another one, mighty yokes from small acorns grow. Picks says, large rivers for a small seamed flow. And at this point I'm convinced that he is both very well read and so on. Then the final question is don't cry over spilt milk, and Hicks says, he tells the story. He doesn't have an answer. We have a problem for that. Anyway. They we leave the courtroom, and he turns to me afterwards and says, well, freest water over the dam, which was a great response. Yeah,

so that's my favorite story, the crazy in the courtroom. That's right, that's right he was. But if the psychiatrist is crazy, you're gonna flunk in your book. We're talking to a lawyer any more. In the Fuzzy Pink Bathroom and other tales of law crazy stories from the courtroom, a couple divorced and remarried every single year just for tax breaks. Yeah, that was a clever scheme. What happened is they was a second marriage for both of

them. They decided that if one took all the itemized deductions mortgage and the other took a standard deduction. They would be better off. But they had to be divorced. Oh, they had to be single at the end of

the tax here. So every year they'd fly down to Haiti or Mexico and they get a divorce, a quickly divorce, and then January first they get remarried and worked this scheme and they the amount of savings for taxes was enough to finance the vacation in Florida or in Mexico or so that works very well for fifteen years. And by the way, the husband earned twice wood a wife learned a woman comes from. But you know, I've got a problem. My husband refused to marry me at this last January. What are my

remedies? And that's an interesting situation because you have to anticipate what a judge would say. Yeah, and I said, well, the judge might say, one thing, you've been playing a tax game with the IRS. I'm going to report you to the IRS. More likely the judge would say, well, you got divorced in Mexico. You go down there and let them straighten it out. Okay, there you go. JD. Mormon.

The fresh scent of Irish Spring and those sensational Irish Spring SuDS are just the reset you need to own the day. Irish Spring seven hundred w l W. Let's talk to a Jim Rider,

ABC News correspondent in Dallas this morning. Jim, the US Department of Justice is not happy with the State of Texas Phillison on the background, so we can talk about this story. Well, yeah, it was last month in June when Governor Greg Abbot of Texas announced that a barrier was going to be placed in the Rio Grand. The Rio Grand separates the United States from Mexico

along the twelve hundred mile border with Texas. He said that about a thousand feet of these buoys would be strung together and placed in the river at Eagle Pass. Is kind of a pilot program. If it works there, Abbott

says he would intend to extend it beyond that point. But the Biden administration the Justice Departments say that they have humanitarian concerns about that, not only the buoys, but also the razor wire that has been strung along the US side of the Rio grand And at two o'clock this afternoon Eastern time, the administration says that unless those buoys are gone out of the river, a lawsuit will

be filed. It's the second federal lawsuit filed against this program. The kayak business operator on the river says he doesn't have access to his business anymore because of the booies, and so he's wild suit. And you're also here complaints

from the Mexican government. I've seen pictures that these are big booies strung out in the middle, so people can't either swim over or crawl over them to get from Mexico to the United States, right, correct, Yeah, And you can't go under them because they're they're sort of tethered to the river bottom by a mesh. So you can't just swim under it. You can't crawl over it because if you do, I mean, he's a big it's just a big four foot ball, essentially a plastic ball. So if you try

and it's it's it's free spinning. So if you try to climb over it, it just rolls forward and keeps you from doing so, advocate Simmigrant advocates say that people are gonna drown out there because of this. You already have a lot of people who do drown in the river. The concern is that others will drown strictly because of the booies. What has Governor Greg Abbott and text responded with, mister President, we will see you in court. That

was his tweet on Friday after the administration announced this lawsuit was coming. So he remains defiant. I suspect that those buoys will still be in the river at two o'clock this afterday and when the federal deadline for a lawsuit comes.

So this has nothing. I mean, I guess part of Texas and Mexico is Land and the other part is the Rio Grand right, No, the Rio Grand is the defining line between Texas and Mexico all along that twelve hundred mile Aco from yeah, from El Paso, all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico. So so that's the problem with immigrants in that state as

they're coming by water. Yes, there are, and in some places the Rio the river is quite narrow and it dries up at certain parts of not completely, but it's fairly easy to just sort of walk and swim across the river and get into the United States. Between the border patrol checkpoints. Abbott is urging people migrants who are coming to the country and seeking asylum to turn themselves in at the Customs and Border Protection checkpoints. That's how this is done.

You make your asylum application there. His concern is that too many people are coming through between the checkpoints doing so illegally. In other words, so it's kind of the state of Texas versus everybody right now, well more or less. And I think that's how Abbott likes it. He likes to see himself as crusading against the Biden administration. The Republican governor has won his third term in office and you know, has general support among Texas voters. Here

Jim, thanks so much for your time this morning. Take care all right. Jim Ryan with us from Dallas and seven hundred WLW. Hey is college costs too much? We're gonna find out after the news eight thirty now on the home of the Cincinnati Reds. News Radio seven hundred WLW News Traffic and Weather. News Radio seven hundred wl Cincinnati, trying to get all the deals

done. With the thirty report, tom Ricky Huccino breaking now, Bengals owner Mike Brown says he wants to keep the team in Cincinnati for many years to come. The current stadium lease expires in twenty twenty six, and Brown says the Bengals are ready to go to the negotiating table to hammer out a deal that best works for the city, county, and fans and that upgrades pay Course Stadium to help keep the Bengals competitive with the rest of the league.

Look around that what the other teams are doing. That's our competition in this area and we want to keep up. We don't expect to lead the race. We're not going to end up with the Dome stadium here.

Hundred ww sedem, thank you. Yeah, We'll see you. Tom All Kimberly Adams with us in seven hundred wl W. Is your college education still worth it?

We're talked to an expert here joining us this morning, Alicia Moore, CEO of Strategic Impact Solutions with us and the author of the number one best selling book Crushing It in College, Your seven step Guide to an Awesome experience. Hey, good morning, Alicia, Thanks for joining us. Good morning, Thank you for having me. Yeah. According to stuff that I got that you sent out here, parents and students can can spend two hundred and

fifty thousand dollars I guess or more for college. The average student is thirty seven thousand in debt after graduation, and thirty percent drop out in the first year. So I guess my first question, college is so expensive. Many people are questionings value, but you say college is worth it. Why do you say that college is absolutely worth it. It's it's much more than the degree that you get. It's the entire experience that it can be so valuable.

So it's not like you said, a lot of people dropping out. Those thirty percent are doing something without college experience for the rest of their life, they're losing out. In fact, right, absolutely. Statistics recent statistics have shown that people with a college degree earn an average of a million dollars more over their lifetime than people that don't have that degree. But it's and it's more than just the earnings. People with college degrees tend to live longer,

healthier and self reported happier lives. Really, college students did that. I did not our college grads. I did not know that. When I was eighteen years old, I didn't know what I wanted to study, so I waited to go full time. Do I need to know my major or passion at age eighteen read out of high school to go to college. No. In fact, that's one of the benefits that a college environment can give you. An opportunity to learn about yourself, an opportunity to learn about others.

Where else other than in the military, do people have an opportunity to go through a common experience with people from such diverse backgrounds. You have people that come from all over the world. You have people that have had background, background experiences in their own lives that have informed their experiences and their worldviews, and you have an opportunity to go through a common experience with them.

Unlike anywhere than say, the military. Right where else do you have such an opportunity for a melting pot to meet people that you otherwise maybe never would other would have cross paths with. Do I need to be an engineer or a lawyer or a doctor to make college worthwhile? No? In fact, one of the primary skills that you get from college is learning how to learn, and the confidence that comes with competence in that particular area will stand you

through the rest of your life. Nothing is certain but change. So even engineers, computer scientists, they all have to learn new skills throughout their lives. It isn't just in getting the degree. Think about the disruptions for example, that chat GPT has wrought. Right, People that graduated with English degrees now find themselves with a whole new lane of opportunity becoming prompt engineers. Right,

The nuances of language are critical in chat GPT. So one of the things that college, one of the games that you get from college is both learning how to learn, knowing that you can learn, and the confidence to pivot when you need to. All Right, we're talking to Alicia Moore, CEO of Strategic Impact solutions, talking about college still being worth it for you given the expenses. Some more tips just to make the most out of our investment. As we close up here, well, Warren Buffett says, price

is what you pay. Value is what you get. So position yourself to get the most value out of your experience orients. First by taking ownership of your own journey. Know what your goals are. If you don't know what your major is, choose to gain skills in say communication or marketing. Those things are valuable life skills that will take you along the way. But once you are clear about what's most valuable to you, use that as your north

star as you move forward. The second is don't start your journey without mapping a route to get you there. Paraphrasing Ben Franklin and later Winston Churchill. Failing to plan is planning to fail, So plan ahead. And the third is plan not to fail. Anticipate obstacles and think about your recipes for recovery

and evance. What if power goes out in your dorm, what if your computer crashes, What if you get sick and have to miss a class, Have a plan to recover and just by anticipating some of the crises that you might experience up ahead, having a plan for how to recover from them. That planning alone will give you the confidence that you can overcome things as they arise and finally be open to new roads. As the Buddhists say, there are many paths up the mountain. There's not just one way to get to

your destination. If you're persistent and take consistent steps towards your goal, you can achieve it all right. Alicia Moore with this this morning. The book is called Crushing It in College.

I thought We talked to Mike Tubusky from ABC News, our technology reporter in

New York. Mike, good morning, Welcome to the show. Hey, good morning. See. Um, a couple of things. You're gonna have to treat me like I'm a fifth grader here. Uh. Twitter, Elon must buys it for forty four billion. It's almost like buying McDonald's and changing the name if you ask me. But he buys this big name Twitter, and he is now transitioning changing the name to X. Yes, So this

is a rebrand that was started over the weekend by Elon. Musky tweeted that if anyone comes up with a good X logo, which is a new name of the company, then that will be the logo for the company. And they selected one. And right now, if you go to Twitter, in the upper left hand corner where you once saw the iconic blue Twitter cartoon bird,

you now see a stylized X logo. But it's worth mentioning that this transition is still very much underway because if you look at the upper right hand corner of the Twitter desktop site right now, it still says search Twitter. So are we calling it X? Are we calling a Twitter? There's a lot of questions about what tweets are called now, are they x's, Are Twitter users xers? A lot of that's still left to be decided right now.

And they've taken in San Francisco. Did they take down the Twitter sign that's been outside there for many, many years, Well, they tried to yesterday in an attempt to apparently rebrand the building under its new X sort of

branding. They did start to disassemble the Twitter sign that hangs outside the Twitter headquarters in San Francisco, but apparently they did not get the proper permitting to do that, and San Francisco police intervened and stopped them before they could get to the E and the R. So I'm not sure where it stands this morning, but as of late yesterday it was just er. But yeah, that's kind of where they stand right now. They had been projecting an X

onto the side of the building sort of in celebration of this. Elon Musk has changed his Twitter profile picture to an X. Linda Yaccarino, who's the CEO of Twitter, changed her header image and tweeted or X. I guess about sort of the transition as well. So it seems like company leadership is on board, but again there's some of this little stuff signage. It seems to still be a problem. Yeah, it's kind of just kind of odd. As I said earlier, he owns it. He spent forty four billion.

It must have been broke, so he's got to fix it. He's planning on turning into it, turning it into what is own as a super app. What on earth is that? Yeah, so that's interesting to talk about because we don't really have a super app analog here in the United States. Superapp just for its definition, it's an app that integrates everything you use apps for. So if you think about your smartphone right now, you probably have a ride sharing app, an uber or a lift. You probably have

an e commerce app something like Venmo or PayPal or Zell. Messaging services, social media apps obviously, streaming video apps like YouTube and Netflix, even banking apps exist likely on many people's phones. A super app is this idea that all of that functionality will be bundled under one umbrella, a one stop shop for your app experience. As I mentioned, this is not something that we really have taken to in the United States, and there's some interesting reasons for

that. But in other markets, namely China. They are very popular. Rechat is an app that might ring a bell. Back in twenty twenty, President Trump attempted to ban this I needs app alongside TikTok. That attempt did not really go through. But wee Chat is very popular and it is a super app. More than one and a quarter billion people use it around the world. Started as a messaging service, but has since grown to include e commerce, functionality, gaming, streaming, video, all this other stuff.

Even its own app store within wee chat, so you can download sort of mini apps within this app, kind of like an app sception, Elon Musk seems to think that Twitter now x is going to be his platform to build one of these in the United States. And what are the technology people like you guys, what are you hearing behind the scenes? Successful or not successful? I think what I've been hearing is that it's going to be very difficult.

Again, the reason that many point to as the reason that a super at never developed in the United States is because we got on the Internet a lot sooner in the development of the Internet than other markets did. We many people in the United States had broad access to the Internet before the rise of the smart phone, so we got used to going to different websites for different purposes. You went to map quests to get your directions, for instance,

Google to do your searches other parts of the world. In China, widespread access to the Internet didn't come about until the rise of the mobile phone and the mobile internet, so the habits for using the Internet developed differently and became People became more used to going to one app to do sort of everything. We're going to have to hear in the United States unlearn a degree of our Internet usage and then relearn this new thing. Also, there's plenty of regulatory

challenges lawmakers already. You want to crack down on tech companies that they see as too big. You can imagine that something called the everything app will also raise their eyebrows. Twitter itself has laid off a lot of people. There are some questions about their ability, just from a brainpower perspective, to spin up totally new functionality like streaming video and payment platforms and that sort of thing. And of course there's also the lingering questions Steve of just do people trust

Twitter anymore? I think it's fair to say that Elon Musk's tenure at the company has been rocky. Do users really want to hand over their credit card information to this company? That's something that everyone's going to have to just decide for on their own. But I think it's going to be a pretty tough hurdle to clear, especially as many advertisers have left this platform. Content moderated and decisions are still ever present, and a number of users appear to be

leading as well. So a lot of hurdles to clear before super app comes to be Mike, Thanks so much, Mike Dubuski and New York from ABC, It's nine o'clock.
