• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Five o five at fifty five k r C the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: talk station.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Friday, some say, I hope we will.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: A vacation.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: There is Friday Eve. Gonna woo for that in advance
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: because tomorrow I'm gonna be off. It's a I heard
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: media holiday, the official celebrator holiday for the fourth of July.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Independence days. I like to point out, yeah, I try
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: to say Independence Day. Don't say you're celebrating fourth of July. Celebrate,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: say you're celebrating Independence Day. And I hope it's a celebration.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Lord Almighty, You've got a great, great feel good piece
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: about that very point here just a second, get to that.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: First coming up, tech Thursday, because Friday is the best
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: of show tomorrow subjective quote unquote best of anyhow tomorrow
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: in the absence of me being here and a best
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: We're gonna do tech Thursday with Dave Hatter. Interest it's
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Dave Hatter. Hackers can brick your car. Got a commentar
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: choll on that coming up. Just assume you have been hacked.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And finally, major infrastructure hacking is inebitable, inevitable. Anyhow, We'll
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: get to that coming up at six point thirty, followed
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: by Congressman Warren Davidson. Question, Joe wrote on the rud Down,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: is anything happening in Congress or just cruising into the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: holiday the they're already gone. So I know the answer
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to that question, now, nothing's happening. All has to do
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: with the Save Act and its merger with the National
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Defense Authorization Acts. Got some people rubbed the wrong way,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: so rather than do anything, they just walk home and
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: went on vacation. So I know Congressman David's is gonna
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: have something about that, and they're still wrestling with that
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: whole merger. Over in the Senate, Susan looking and she's
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: running against Judge Bloom for juvenile court. She is a
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: superior candidate, and she's not woke, and she believes in
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the criminal justice system and well charging and sort of
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: you know, at least a sentencing individual's responsible for criminal activity,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: not just let him go off into the streets. This
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: is how the criminal justice system works. That whole element
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: of deterrence which I keep talking about, it's the key
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: element of a criminal justice system that works. You know,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: you might be punished or will be punished if you
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: commit a crime. Yeah, well, you know, my old man
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Dad would say, if you do this, you're gonna get
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a spanking. You don't do it, or there's the follow
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: through and you get the spanking and you're like, oh,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: that sucked, I'm not going to do that again, whatever
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: that happened to be. Fortunately, I avoided spankings for the
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: most part because the threat of it and the pain
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: that resulted from his banking sucked wasn't worth violating the
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: rules anyway. Sorry, Susan Lucan, if you're out there, I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: went off on a tear on that. Maybe not your philosophy,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: but at least I know you have a much better
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: perspective of the criminal justice system and how we deal
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: with juveniles. You'll hear it from her at seven thirty
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Bernie Moreno, we talked about Bernie Morino, Americans for Prosperity's
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Donovan O'Neil yesterday talking about Bernie Moreno Elizabeth Warren's at
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: least effort to save Social Security and I will although
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I think I'm leaning with Americans for Prosperity on their
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: analysis of the Social Security reform proposed by those two,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: which is eliminating the cap, Yes, eliminating the cap, the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: one and eighty four thousand, five hundred dollars social Security
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: payroll tax cap. Now, since the vast majority of us
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: out here don't make one hundred eighty four thousand, five
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars, you never see the end of the withdrawal
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: from Social Security. But what if you have a pass
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: through business? A lot of small businesses are passed through,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: So if you're gonna have to continue to pay that
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: high rate of Social Security payroll tax, you're going to
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: continue to do a pass one hundred and eighty four
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to five. And AFP made a good argument that that
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: would have a profound impact on small businesses, maybe resulting
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: in fewer of them. Anyhow, the more you take from
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: small business, the more or less, the less they have
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to hire people, the less they have to invest. So
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: while I applaud them for at least getting the message
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: out there that Social Security is broken and we need
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to fix it, at least they're getting that, they're starting
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the conversation. So we can and analyze anybody's proposal for
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: saving Social Security and run it through the litmus tests.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: We'll talk with Bertie Morino coming up an eighty oh five.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Jay rattlif I Heart media aviation expert Jay Ratliff closing
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: out the show as we do every Thursday, which I
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: just love. Let's see here, this is the feel good
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: piece I wanted to mention because it really is just
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: an illustration of how awesome America is and without us,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the world will be a different place. And as I
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: as I go into this, just consider one thing in
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the back of your mind. If you and like the leftists,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the green folks, the people who think that we are
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: exhaling ourselves or otherwise burning petroleum to the demise of
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the entire planet, consider a world without petroleum. Just go ahead,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: look around, consider but what petroleum is in literally everything?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: And if you just went ahead and gave them their
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: wish and eliminated it completely, we would the world would
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: grind to a screeching halt. We would starve to death.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: There wouldn't be containers to bring things home in, drink
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: your water from. At pharmaceuticals, Yes, some have petroleum products
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: in them. You can just go on forever. So they're crazy.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: And there's no concern apparently about getting barrels of oil
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: out and even less so. Now Eric Melito, Fox News,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: We'll go ahead and read the article if you want
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: to find it. I'm just gonna go ahead and do
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: that right now. How American engineers unlock the impossible. Beneath
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the Gulf of America. July fourth is more than a
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: marking of America's independence with patriotic flags, parades, and fireworks.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: It's about celebrating American ingenuity, our firm belief that our
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: country can engineer solutions to achieve the impossible. From launching
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the modern age of aviation the landing a man on
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the Moon, some of the most compelling evidence of American
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: exceptionalism today is happening thousands of feet beneath the surface
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: of the Gulf of America FKA Gulf of Mexico, where
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: our offshore industry has spent more than a decade solving
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: one of the hardest hardest engineering problems in the history
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: of energy. More than one hundred miles offshore from the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Gulf coast, sits a geological layer of sandstone and shell
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: rock deep beneath the seabed called the Paleiagene that holds
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: tens of billions of barrels of oil. For years, most
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: of it was considered unattainable. The reservoir pressures up to
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: twenty thousand pounds per square inch, equivalent to an elephant
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: standing on a quarter, exceeded anything existing technology could handle.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: No equipment had ever been built to work under those conditions.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: The solution was engineered here in American waters by the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: people who know them best. American Ingenuity. Transocean developed the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: first drill ships in the world built to work in
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: these high pressure conditions, their deep Water Titan and Atlas.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: These devices are currently operating the Gulf of America. Trendsseeter
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: engineering design subse systems and manifolds capable of operating reliably
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: at pressures once considered beyond reach offshore. Other offshore companies
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: have developed similar equipment that has unlocked the palaeogen tens
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: of billions of barrels of oil. Folks, the results speak
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: from themselves. Chevron's Anchor project came online in twenty twenty four,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: representing roughly five point seven billion dollars in development spending.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Those evil corporations spending that profit on development, and oh wow,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: how evil they are Beacons Offshore Shenandoah is also producing
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: oil and natural gas. BP development plan for its five
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: billion dollar project has secured federal approval, moving toward toward
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: its first production. Together, these projects mark the opening of
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: a new chapter of American offshore capability. The people who
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: did this work aren't household names. Their engineers, subc specialists,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: vessel crews spread across the Gulf Coast part of a
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: remarkable expertise that shows up when an impossible problem needs solving,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and our people have proven this equipment is safe and reliable.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Safety and containment systems were purpose built, independently verified, rigorously
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: tested under federal oversight before a single well was drilled. Offshore.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Consortiums HWCG and Maritime Well Containment Company both maintain twenty
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: thousand PSI containment systems that can be deployed rapidly in
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the event of an incident. Federal regulations require operators to
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: demonstrate access to containment resources, submit detailed response plans, conduct robust,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: recurring training exercises before drilling even begins. The Bureau of
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Safety and Environmental Enforcement requires third party certification on every
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: major high pressure component, blowout preventers, subseed trees, wellheads, and
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: component equipment. Nothing goes offshore without that. This achievement that's
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: producing more American energy is worth celebrating today, especially during
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: a time when we take stock of what this country
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: is built on. The Paleagen wasn't unlocked by a single
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: mandate or government program. It was unlocked by an ecosystem
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: of companies, engineers, regulators, suppliers and workers who collectively decided
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: a problem was worth solving and spent years doing it.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: And I will interject billions of dollars on a project
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: that they didn't know necessarily what's going to pay off.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: When you think about that, that is a distinctly American model,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and it works. The Gulf of America supply is roughly
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: fifteen percent of US oil production. Offshore projects support shipyards, manufacturers, ports,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: marine operations, and skilled trades across the country. There are
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: jobs and investments in all fifty states. The paleagen represents
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the next chapter of that output, backed by existing infrastructure
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and experience, workforce, and decades of hard one operating knowledge.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: The economic and national security benefits don't happen without the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: long term investment decisions and long term confidence that makes
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: them possible. At two point fifty, America is still a
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: country that does seemingly impossible things. The palogene in the
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Gulf of America is proof amen isn't that an amazing reality?
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Evil oil companies, in pursuit of down the road profits
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: are willing to sacrifice literally billions of dollars investing in
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: new technology never before invented or created to overcome a
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: challenge that no one thought was ever possible, and it
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: didn't necessarily it was no guarantee that it was going
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: to pay off. They could have thrown five seven twenty
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: billion at something and come up empty. But they took
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the gamble, and we're all going to benefit from it well,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: and I include everybody in the world. More supply on
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the market, since oil and petroleum is a global market.

  Speaker 1: Jay sixth prisoner. He's running for Florida's nineteenth congressional districts.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: He's got a book called Patriot Plead, The j sixth
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Journey of a political Prisoner in the Divided States of America.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Pressive guy that one. He stood up to the weaponized
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Department of Justice. They offered him a real great plea
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: deal and he turned it down because he's innocent. Let's
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: see what curbage Mike's got this morning. Mike, welcome to
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the program, my submarine or friend. Thank you for your
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: service to our country.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Brian. As we come into this weekend, we
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: should all always remember the men and women of our
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: armed forces that are standing to watch around the world,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: but especially in the off because for the past two
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: hundred and fifty years, that's what makes this weekend possible.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: And listening to that forecast, we got a couple of
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: Army members on our memorial team who served in the
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: Gulf w and Iraq and weather like this they call Tuesday,
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: and just imagine, you know, carrying around their pack.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Another day ending and why, hey, look at one hundred
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: twenty degrees in the shade. Welcome to the Middle East.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: Heat.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, no humidity, that's no problem.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Just another reason why I like my sixty eighth degrees
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: of comfort board of submarine. And speaking of submarines, yxtend
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: an invitation.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I okay, you went the direction I was going to
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: go because you mentioned the memorial team, but you didn't
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: specify what memorials. So you're getting to it now, Go ahead.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: Uh So this weekend, if if you don't have any plans,
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: or you want an hour or two, if you haven't
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: been out to Voice of America Part in Westchester myself
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: in about fifteen other submarine veterans will be on site
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: to give tours or to answer any of your questions Friday,
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: Saturday and Sunday. The museum or the submarine itself was
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: set up as a self guided tour with all the
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: placards and posters, but having us out there to maybe
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: answer your question or if you would like, we could
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: give you a full tour from bow to stern of
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: what it was like aboard a submarine what the USS
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Cincinnati did to win the Cold War along with the
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: rest of our armed forces.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: We'll be out.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: There very prominently wearing either a red vests, red T shirt,
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: red ball cap, and please take advantage come out there.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Maybe even Lauren Davidson hasn't been out yet. And then
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: there's a lot going on in Voice of America Part four,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: the fourth of July, so an hour or two, clearly
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: come over and see it once again. I want to
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: reemphasis eyes that when you look at that, some of
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: it was manufactured to give you the actual length of
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: that submarine, right three hundred and sixty two feet, But
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: the actual conning tower, the diving planes, the top portion
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: of the rudder, and the emergency diesel generator are actual
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: parts of the USS Cincinnati Fast Attack submarine that served
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: valiantly for eighteen years.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Well, I slute you and your ongoing service of our
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: country with inconnection with the memorial, and your willingness to
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: let everybody know what it's like to be in a submarine.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: You personally six full years underwater during your service, I
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: have that is not a job for Brian Thomas. So
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: thank God for folks like you do want to do it.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: And you know, the thing I think is the coolest
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: thing about you and your crew being out there the
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Voice of America park to offer these personalized explanations. You
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: can provide your own personal stories. You know, your unique
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: experience on what it's like in your day to day
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: experiences on the submarine. Maybe some of the missions you
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: went on I don't know, but there's always something better
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: when you hear it directly from someone who serves mouth
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and what they have been through in connection with broader exhibit.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: So that's fantastic, Mike, and I can't thank you enough
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: for that, And I know my listening audience will be
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: happy to go out the Voice of America Park and
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: check it out. Thanks for bringing, Thanks for bringing to
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: our attention. Man, you have a wonderful Independence Day weekend.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Let us see here. Maybe I can get this in
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: real quick here New York Mayor Man Dami the Kami Momdami.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: This is insanity and I don't know how he can
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: even get away with He's not getting away with here
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: on the Fify five Krcy morg And of course I'm
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: not the only one calling him out on this, claiming
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: his socialist policies are to credit for the balanced budget
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: in New York City. Really, quote in January, our administration
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: inherited a twelve billion dollar budget deficit, a fiscal crisis
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: greater than the Great Recession. We balanced the budget by
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: taxing the rics and making government more efficient. We did
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: not balance this budget on the backs of the working people,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: and we never will wrong. First off, who brought you
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the twelve billion dollar budget deficit greater than the problems
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: of the Great Recession. Right, Democrats who've been running New
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: York City forever and the state, they did that to you.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Check out Pritzker in Illinois. He's jack. He's taxing literally
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: everything that is, even stuff that doesn't move because it
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Democrats ran the place into the toilet. But pivoting over.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: The city was given billions of dollars by the State
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: of New York. That's where the balance budget came from,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: part of a multi year plan to bail out in
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: New York City. In late May, the city received four
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: billion dollars hmm. Five billion was directly earmarked for the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: city to address fiscal measures. This includes allowing city government
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: to defer pension contributions and close the budgetary gap. So
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: you pour pensioners out there regular working class stiffs, expecting
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: the pension sucks to be you screw the workers. I
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: guess is Mondami's plan. But it's New York State that
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: handed this money over to the City of New York
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: to bail it out. One commentator, You balance the budget
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: by borrowing billions of dollars from the New York State government,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: which pushed back pay payments, So you literally took money
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: from the backs of hardworking people a student observation. One
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: other mom Dommy balanced the budget by taking money from Albany,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: New York, who in turn taxed Rochester and Buffalo. That's
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: who's paying for all of mom Dommy's free crap. Yep.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: And since he hasn't been office that long and he
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: hasn't yet delivered on any one of his promises free
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: bus rides, free this for you, that still building a
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: thirty million dollar free grocery store or whatever, he is
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: suggesting that his common socialist policies have given you this
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: result in New Yorkers. Man, if you believe this, you
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: better put down whatever it is you're smoking five twenty
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: six fifty five. Oh and what built all that? Where
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: did the success of New York City come from? Those
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: evil Wall Street bankers? Most notably?
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: Wow?
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Local stories or phone calls coming up next to be
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: right back fifty five krc hey neighbor, Oh my gosh,

• 18:04
  Speaker 1: what Tom's got this morning? Tom, thanks for calling a
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Happy Friday Eve to you.
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, good morning, and uh kudos and much thanks
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: to uh uh sub Mariner Mike and everyone like him
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: that served our country. I never got the pleasure. I
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: had a I had a physical issue that kept me
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: from uh from joining the service many many moons ago
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: when I tried, and so but I have buddies that
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: that went. And obviously we all know people that served
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: our country and and uh I I I have no
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: way of really thanking them properly, but except just to
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: say thank you. Your your story about social security. And
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: it's amazing that somebody like Elizabeth Warren Is is going
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: to be involved in fixing social Security. That's just That's
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: an octymoron, isn't it. So I can't help but laugh
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: when a Democrat is claiming to fix something when they
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: were probably instrumental in breaking it in the first.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Place or bringing it about. I mean, you know, you could, yeah,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: run back to the genesis of the whole thing and
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: try to peel apart, whether or not it was the
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: right thing to do at the time. And I know people,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: especially in their senior years, were you know, sometimes off
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: in destitute and that was the answer to it, but
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: they didn't set it up structurally or at least didn't
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: foresee the future where we'd only have a few workers
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: for every single person on Social Security. I guess they
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: didn't also foresee that American modern medicine and technology would
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: allow people who otherwise would have died by sixty eight
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: to live well into their eighties.
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: Right and well, I think the biggest to start with
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: the idea that the government is there to be your
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: mom or dad and take care of you is that's
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: problem number one. If I if I decided to save
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: some money and then at some point I decided, you
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: know what, I'm gonna take that money and do something
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: else with it instead of saving it for what I
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: plan to do with it, well, yeah, that might not
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: be the smartest move, but the important part is it's
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: my money. I decided to do with it what I
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: wanted to do with it. And what the federal government
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: decided to do is we're gonna make you say we're
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: gonna save your money for you. And then they just
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: couldn't keep their Gruvvy pauls off of it. They had
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: to dip into it. It's the same idea you kind
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: of started with the whole Social Security thing, and then
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: the last thing you talked about before your last break
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: was was the whole thing with Mom Dommy in New York,
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: you're doing the same thing. There's a pot of money
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: in the pension and they can't keep their grubvy paws
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: off of it. You cannot. You cannot assume that the
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: federal government, state government, city government is gonna be able
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: to be trusted with a big pot of money. That's
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: I believe that is why they come up with the
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: idea of having the big pot of money in the
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: first place, so that they have a big pot of
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: money that they can't put their grubby paws into it.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: And Tom and Tom, what's the problem? Okay, that is true,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: it's never enough, right. It's this situation I mentioned with Mamdami.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: They've got they've built all this crap, they've made all
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: these promises, and they have to dig deeper into the
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: taxpayer coffers or borrow money from Albany, New York to
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: keep the whole thing just going as it exists. It's
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: doomed to failure, and then they'll continue to add on
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: to it. That's what's wrong with the federal government. They
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: take in trillions of dollars of American taxpayer money labor,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: and then they spend four, three, two, ten, whatever amount
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: of trillion dollars more than that, because well, we need
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: more stuff and things. We need to continue to build
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: the size of government. We need to expand programs and plans,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: and we need to ignore all of the features in
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: those plans that allow people, including foreign nationals, to rip
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: us off.
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and we're just giving money away at giving art
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: the kindness of our heart. We're telling the American taxpayers
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: that that these people oversees they deserve your money, they
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: need your help. Well, you know, there's all kinds of
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: funds out there, and there's all kinds of TV commercials
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: out there asking me for money. If I want to
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: help take my money and help them overseas, that's up
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: to me to do. But now the government decides, now
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: that's up to us to do, and we're gonna take
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: your money from you. That whole concept all by itself
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: is wrong. And then and of course there's Republicans involved
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: in that too, of course, So I'm not I'm not
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: dumping this all on the on the Democrats. The Republicans
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: are very much involved in taking your money out of
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: your pocket and using it for something that you probably
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: don't even agree with, and it's ridiculous. So we you know,
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: there's there's all kinds of fiscally irresponsible people. And maybe
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: there's a handful of them that people in there in
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: the have off that have an office, that are doing
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: it right or trying to do it right, but most
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: of them are all greedy and they got all they
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: got all their grubby paws in your money. So we
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: got to watch out for that. We got November coming up.
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: Let's watch out who we vote too late on the primaries.
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: Primaries are pretty much over, but when we when we
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: look forward to know November, we got to make sure
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: we're not voting for people who are going to just
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: rob you blind and spend money on crap that that's
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: useless and a waste and basically steal from you and
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: the summon All up, don't vote Democrat. Have a great weekend, Brock.

• 25:32
  Speaker 1: he reportedly grabbed a door dash driver while naked. What
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: this Court of the Coco, Florida Police Department. According to
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the probable cause affidavit, Police said they were initially called

  Speaker 1: Returning to the stack. Is stupid? Who is watching or

  Speaker 1: teaching your children? Got a couple of stories along those lines.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Perverts and people who have a special place in Hell
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: reserve for them. We'll start with this guy. These are
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: these two are going to share the award? Joe, why
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: don't you cue up the award because we've got a
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: couple of worthy recipients here. We start in Berkeley, California.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Private school music teachers sentenced to prison for sexually assaulting
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: and an autistic high school boy last year. Alameda kenned
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: DIA's office originally charged Jason Hoops with twenty three felony
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: sex crimes arranging to me a minor with the intent
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: to commit a sex crime, eight counts unlawful sexual intercourse,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: five counts oral copulation with the person under the age
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: of eighteen, ten times forty nine year old Hoops or
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: he was forty nine at the time of the assaults,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: which took place in abandoned buildings at a naval base
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: in Alameda between March and May of last year. Student
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: sixteen years old. He entered no contest please to four
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: counts arranging to me a minor with the intent to
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: commit the sex act, oral copulation, lawful sexual intercourse with
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: the person under eighteen. Was sentenced to six years and
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: four months in prison. Due to sentencing calculation rules including
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: time served, he's likely to be out and closer to
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: two years. During the hearing, students mother and father each
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: read the victim impact statements. Before the judge accepted the
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: plea deal. More than a dozen friends and family members
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: also joined in to support the student hold on. The
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: student was fifteen when he met Hoop's first time found
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: a teacher who felt safe, someone said, someone he could trust,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: according was mom. Hoops chose to weaponize that trust, Mom said,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: sending thousands of text messages to her son and deliberately
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: grooming him and then abusing him. The boy's father, who
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: discovered the abuse after finding sexually inappropriate text messages from
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Hoops on his son's phone, father reported the message of
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: the police. Police intervene and this is what ultimately happened.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: It goes on, but let it in an effort to
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: get the other one in as well. Because I got
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: four pages of disgusting testimony about what this music teacher
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: did to the again autistic child. I hope he enjoys
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: prison former day. And here we go someone maybe in
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: the near jail cell. Fresno, California. Former Fresno Unified Elementary
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: school teacher accused of inappropriate conduct with multiple students. Aaron Butler,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: the co Award winner standing there on the top of
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: the podium, charged with nine council Ludelsibius acts involving five girls.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: During the preliminary hearing, a teenage girl described her experience
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: she had to testify Jeez in Butler's classroom when she
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: was a student at Lane Elementary School in South Fresno.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: All of the alleged victims were under the age of
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: fourteen at the time. Girl testified that Butler would have
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: her and other students sit on his lap during class.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: She said she was in second grade when the alleged
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: in a roper your behavior began. She said she felt uncomfortable,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: didn't really know how to react to what to do.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: I felt like since he was, since he did it,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: when he's teaching, no one's thinking nothing of it. I'm
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: just there. I really don't know what to do or
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: what to say, and what child in that position wouldn't
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: feel that way confused perhaps. She also described an incidence
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: in which she said Butler picked her up and threw her,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: resulting in an injury. He said, She said, he picked
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: me up and like threw me. He was trying to
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: throw me on top of somebody. I felt wrong, and
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: I remember I busted my chin up and the victim
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: said Butler worked there for more than twenty years. As
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: employment ended after his arrest. Proscu is expected to continue
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: calling more witnesses, presenting more evidence before the judge determines
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: whether there's enough for the case to proceed to trial.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing there is. Let him have it, Joe.
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: Peri is the biggest douche of the universe, in all
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: the galaxies. There's no bigger douche than you. Each the

• 33:12
  Speaker 1: they're going to be feeling for the next I don't
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: know decade or two. And finally California and one to
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: grow on. California man charged with twelve misdemeanor counts of

• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Forty year old Grover Beach resident Kyle Comes allegedly recorded
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: twelve different women inside the tanning booths. According to the DA.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: There San Louis Obispoke County DA criminal complaint ludges that
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: at a fitness center and the Royal Grande, Comes secretly
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: use device to view or record women while they were
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: nude inside the tanning boos at a place where any
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: person would reasonably expect complete privacy. Sadly, it's time for
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: a law, James, under californ orn your law doing this
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: secretly recording a nude victim in private is a misdemeanor
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: absent additional circumstances like the videoed person being under the
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: age of emancipation. DA's officeite if the public believes this
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: conduct should be punishable as a felony here, let me
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: raise my hand on that the change must come from
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: the California legislature, and residents may contact their state Assembly
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: member and state senator through the official Representative look up page.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: He also provided a link to that DA's office is.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: In other words, light the phones up. We need this
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: to be a felony. California law prohibits using a device
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: to view a private area, including addressing room, more tanning booth,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: with the intent to invade a person's privacy. But because
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: combs crimes did not involve any underage victim and he
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: has no qualifying priors, that limits it to misdemeanor charges.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: An investigators still working to determine if there are more victims,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: and of course asking the general public if you were
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: using these tanning beds at the Arroyo Grande Planet Fitness
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: at that period of time, you might want to give
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: him call at bail bail said at fifty thousand dollars
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: again apparently not in front of Judge Silverstein in Hamlin County,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: would have been no bond five fifty six fifty five
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: care See talk Station Tech Thursday coming up with Dave
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: hatter and I got some actually a really funny yet
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: dystopian tech related story, a couple of tech related stories
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: preceding Dave Hatterer. But if you'd like to give me
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: a call, I'd prefer that and love to hear from you.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Be right back Thursday Slash Friday. My name is Brian Thomas.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to bottom of this hour because it's
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: tech Thursday. Today. I'll be off the bar for the
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: iHeartMedia celebration of Independence Day. Get a day early there
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: and a day off. Congressman Noaron Davidson is going to
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: come up after Tech Friday's day hat at the bottom
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: of this hour, we'll find out what's going on and
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: the situation with the Save Act I know they're having
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: they're duking it out in the Senate, and I think
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: everybody's gone home for vacation since they canceled all legislative activity.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: He'll correct me the rec correct the record on that.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Coming up at seven oh five. Get his thoughts and
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: comments about other things going on in DC. Susan Logan
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: and yes, she is running for a judge against Judge Bloom.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Judge Bloom who's currently in charge of the Juvenile Court
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: and largely to blame for all the not even risk
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: slapping light treatment of juveniles who've been well recidivious defenders
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: in committing crimes in downtown Cincinnati, no bond, Judge Bloom,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: and actually not even taking them in if they're out
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: with an outstanding warrant. Apparently the Juvenile Court doesn't even
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: bother allowing the police officers to hand them over. But
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: they all get library cards, right, Joe, I you know
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: what we should focus on that library cards? Eddie vote
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: look and we'll talk to her at seven thirty. Coming
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: to Bernie Mareno. Eight oh five talked with Americans for Prosperities,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Donald and Neil not Real Thrilled with Bernie's plan with
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Senator Warren to, you know, to try to save the
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Social Security program. And I don't really, you know, agree
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: with Marina's suggestion, but what I do agree with is
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: their out loud effort to draw everyone's attention to the
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: ever growing problem of the unstability and failure of the
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Scurity program, which is going to run out of money
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: coming up in twenty twenty three. In fact, actually not
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: run out of money, but they're not going to be
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: living off and paying dividends out of principle or out
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: of interest. They're going to be diving into the principle,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: which means you're going to get twenty percent or more
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: less a month in your Social Security payment that needs
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: to be fixed. So applaud his efforts for moving in
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: that direction and maybe elevating the idea to a discussion
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: level among other politicians who may have better ideas. Bernie
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: at eight oh five, Jay Ratliffe, I heard mediavsh expert
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: at a thirty Let us see here before I get
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: to my comical and yet dystopian article, here, let me
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: see what Steve's God, Steve, thanks for calm this morning,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: happy Thursday.
• 37:39
  Speaker 9: Yes, sir, I was on vacation, so I missed things
• 37:42
  Speaker 9: last week and a half or so. Did the wedding
• 37:46
  Speaker 9: go well with your daughter?
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: I sitting here, thank you for your prayers to the
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: extent you helped out with the power prayer. We had
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: great weather other than the humidity, but whatever it did
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: not rain. It was beautiful. Everyone was happy. The band
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: was great, the food was great. Everything was great, perfect wed.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 38:02
  Speaker 9: Now the the the father of the bride, Yeah, I.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Had an emotional outbreaker or two.
• 38:12
  Speaker 9: Yes, Well, somebody, somebody's got to wear the pants in
• 38:14
  Speaker 9: the house. It can't always be the father.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: I don't listen, I don't have you. Emotional showing of
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: emotion when my daughter is getting married is something not manly.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: I think it's a sign of humanity in the fact
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: that I care and I love my daughter and I
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: was happy for it. Those are tears of joy. The
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: guy's a good guy.
• 38:30
  Speaker 9: I'm just I know on you. I'm happy to walk
• 38:34
  Speaker 9: around in a pink shirt and and I am confident
• 38:37
  Speaker 9: in my masculinity, So it doesn't bother me. Amen, brother,
• 38:41
  Speaker 9: But first of all, Comane's having a funeralative, Well, why bother?
• 38:46
  Speaker 9: At this point, hasn't been dead for like four months
• 38:49
  Speaker 9: or five months now.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, whateverous we usual.
• 38:55
  Speaker 9: We usually and I try. I did stream your show
• 38:58
  Speaker 9: a couple of times. When we woke up the hotel
• 39:00
  Speaker 9: in the morning, we were out in Mount Rushmore and
• 39:03
  Speaker 9: worked our way all the way to Yellowstone. Usually we
• 39:06
  Speaker 9: go out of the country. I'm going to have to
• 39:08
  Speaker 9: go out of the country again. It's expensive traffic. Oh
• 39:11
  Speaker 9: yeahed states my.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Goodness, maybe more expensive elsewhere. But I'm glad you got
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: to go to Yellowstone. I was blown away by the
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: beauty of that place when we.
• 39:18
  Speaker 9: Were it is it is amazing that three of three
• 39:22
  Speaker 9: of our nights we stayed in hotels in the park.
• 39:25
  Speaker 9: And the really the reason for the call, other than
• 39:28
  Speaker 9: to wish you a happy Independence Day, a long weekend
• 39:31
  Speaker 9: and check on the wedding, was to and this this
• 39:35
  Speaker 9: has just seemed odd to me. Go ahead, when you
• 39:37
  Speaker 9: when you stayed in the National parks, in the hotels,
• 39:41
  Speaker 9: you can't use cash. Everything is cashless. And I'm thinking
• 39:44
  Speaker 9: this is doesn't the federal government issue our currency? I mean,
• 39:48
  Speaker 9: I just I thought it was weird, but it is
• 39:51
  Speaker 9: what it is. Yes, it was like and I'm like,
• 39:53
  Speaker 9: isn't this illegal?
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: All that's public and privates. My perspective, I prefer cash.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: And you know, maybe some employees at the National Parks
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: have sticky fingers. I don't know, but I reject that
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: as a concept. I want to pay cash. I should
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: be able to pay cash legal tender for all debts
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: public and private. That should be the benchmark right there,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: and you don't need to go any further than that.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Appreciate the well wish to Steve. Thanks for calling, and
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: thanks for tuning into the Morning Show using your heart app.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: All right, so we got this article by Jeffrey Tucker
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: involving tech as we get toward Tech Thursday at the
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: bottom of the hour. It's and you can find it yourself.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Go to Epic Times. Surveillance State on Wheels is the
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: article by Jeffrey Tucker. It's commentary. It's like this kind
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: of fast forward through a lot of I don't know
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: to read a word for word, but anyway, he goes
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: out rents an SUV, which she said, you always like
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: getting out on the road and enjoy it, but this
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: was the end of my enjoyment of driving. Basically, he
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: notes that traditionally cars explained themselves, everything was obvious, but
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: he got into an SUV with his massive control panel,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: two big screens, and hardly any knobs, which he pointed out,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: essentially means you got to learn to operate us to
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: the software. So he's driving down the road in this
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: rental and there's a a radio program and he wants
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: to change the station. He says, I'm trying to drive
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: at the same time looking at the screen with peripheral vision,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: and that's when the car caught me. It sensed distraction.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Red flag for folks out there that think you're going
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: to have to have this mandated in your car coming
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: to a theater near you. Up popped the notification alongside
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: five extremely annoying alarm beafs with a blaring warning consider
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: taking a break with a coffee cup. Emoji says, that's
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: kind of weird because I'm not tired and I just
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: started driving. Why should I take a break? My car
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: was correcting me, not only that, it was diagnosing my biology.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: I was drifting. You know why he was drifting because
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: he was looking at the damn screen, So clearly I
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: did not have enough caffeine in my system and need
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: it more so, said my car called it my introduction
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: to the new smart car, more monitoring than helper, more
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: surveillance than service, more sense than safe. I grabbed a
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: tissue while searching for the off switch to the radio.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Again the warning sign popped up. So this was only
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: a few minutes later. He said, I wonder how long
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: this was going to go along. He GA's got two
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: and a half hours ahead of me. It could be miserable,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: and of course it was. It was. In fact, my
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: car monitored, hector and lectured me for my entire trip.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: It more closely tracked my venial sins than a Puritan
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: preacher in the seventeenth century Plymouth Colony. At least, in
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: that world, privacy was possible. It is not possible in
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: this new car. You're under the gun, tasked with the
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: impossible feeds a digital management which you are destined to fail,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: says the ever pious, self satisfied, immaculately conceived robos Scold.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: Seems gleeful to call out every infraction, even when a
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: gust of wind causes a two inched drift, says, the
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: car's rooting against the driver. It's watching you constantly, but
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: you don't know where the eyes are or why. Precisely
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: it's making the judgment it's making. This is while still
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: fussing around with the radio. Big message appeared on the screen,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: which I tried to read while driving. Great pointy makes
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: here another sin. As best as I could make out,
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: it said not to attempt this while driving because it's unsafe.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: And if I have read this message and understand the
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: risk and accept the terms of the software app, I
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: should click approve, which I did while driving. Ali clockwork
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: up appear to demand that I stop and drink another
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: cup of coffee. He said, I'd have had a gallon
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: of coffee in me and had to be taken to
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: the hospital for hospital for caffeine overdose if I'd have
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: followed his advice every time that warning popped up, he said.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: The roadside signs all say not to text and drive
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: or otherwise look at your smartphone, But this entire car
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: is far more distracting than my phone would otherwise be.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: I'm only mentioning a few of these notifications so far.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: So I got into traffic on a very fast Texas Highway.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: Cars are following close behind it into the right and
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: to the left, and of course the navigation systems monitoring
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: all that. He said. Mister Carr did not take this
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: scene and begins, mister car did not take like this scene,
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: rather and began screaming at me as if I'm entirely
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: unaware of what's going on around me. Of course I was,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: but now with this squawking car, it was hard to focus. Buzzing, blaring, screeching,
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: the disapproval things screaming at him. He said, you think
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: of backseat driver's annoying, try dashboard with biometric monitoring skills
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: and the ability to speak in bleeps, dings, and buzzes.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: It's miserable and absolutely makes driving less safe and more
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: scary for all. And he waxes a little poetic about
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: what it used to be like. Listen to your favorite
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: road music songs about driving down the road and enjoying cars.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: All these songs celebrating unity and the freedom of driving,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: which I certainly enjoy. New models not so. They're the opposite.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: They turn the freedom of driving into a panopticon of
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: behavioral monitoring and correction. Your rats in this mobile library library,
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: the pigeon in a Pavlovian cage, variously poked, prodded, fed,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: and star I know it. It's hard to know who
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: could have invented these systems and why car's been mainstream
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: for a century and somehow people have gotten away without
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: these supposedly smart systems. Before amen, indeed, people learned how
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: to drive via experience and enlighten human consciousness and intelligence.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: The new systems disable all intelligence and experience and feed
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: into the most paranoid suspicion that these machines are trying
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: not to help us, but replace us. Instead of flattering
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: your mastery and volitional powers, they condescend with the presumption
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: that you're reckless and sinful and very likely a danger
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: to yourself and others, desperately in need of being adulted
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: by digital pedagogy. You know, and I'll have to pause
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: on that since coming up on a break. And you know,
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: all of this monitoring, as we've learned from tech Friday's
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Dave Hatter soon to be tech Thursday's Dave out of
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: the Air, all of this data is being collected. So
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: every time you lean over and grab your soda from
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: the soda from the drink holder in your car, and
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: you may deviate a couple of inches and your car
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: responds by admonishing you and tell you you must be
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: drunk or impaired or sleepy, get off the road and
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: drink a cup of coffee. Don't you think that every
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: one of those data points is monitored and filed into
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: a database related to your car? Yes, your specific then number,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: your ownership of that car. I can imagine all that
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: would be factored into maybe upcoming tomorrow, perhaps in terms
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: of how fast we move. You're insurance premium fast forward
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: today when they're to be monitoring your speed and issuing
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: speeding tickets by remote control. Another data point that that
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: car will collect about you. This is and you're paying
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: for it. Why is an average new car cost north
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: a fifty thousand dollars? And he wonders who could have
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: invented these systems? And why? I think the why is
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: pretty obvious. You got your elected officials that want to
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: mandate some sort of like breathalyze before you can even
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: turn your car on. In every car, you may be
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: a teetotal I don't touch the stuff. I'm not a drinker.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: I don't use drugs. So what you gotta buy it?
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Six eighteen fifty five K see the talk station, give
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: me a call and call fast and pro roofing the
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: outstanding roofers at fast and pro. You go straight to
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: the phone. It's got Jay on the line. Jay, thanks
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: for calling. Happy Thursday to you.
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: Say Happy Thursday.
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: Brian.
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: Hey, before I lament on my next thing, I just
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: want to take a pick a pause and thank you
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: and Joe for being on every morning. I think you
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: guys are seems like they're gonna be the last guy
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: standing for local talk radio. Seems like, uh, it's going
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: away of the Dodo bird unfortunately. And we'll just hear
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: Sean Hannity said the same damn thing that he's been
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: saying for twenty years, unfortunately, or somebody like him. So
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: we appreciate you guys being out here. It really means a.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: Lot think and hell, you know what, maybe you know,
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: maybe syndication won't go the way that the corporate folks think,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: and maybe that will cause them to go back to
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: the idea of live people dealing with local stories as
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: well as other stories and interacting with the listeners, which
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: is one of the greatest parts about my jobs. Like
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: when folks like you call on, I really like to
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: hear what other people are saying, their perceptions on things,
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: and you know they don't know. Yeah, people don't have
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: to have to have to agree with me. But the
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: idea to engage in a conversation about a given topic,
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: I think that adds something. And I appreciate your comments
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: and your kind words. Man, I really do well.
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: It's a gift to every one of us to get
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: to call in and talk to this many people, So
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it. Hey, So for today's topics. The reason
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: for the call, You know, I did a little research
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: on behind the times on this Bernie Marino social Security.
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: When I listened to Americans to Prosperity yesterday.
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: Lay it out.
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: I was irate the Bernie Marino, a conservative so called
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: senator again from Ohio, one of our concerns, it's failing us,
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: has decided that he would focus on social Security. Fine,
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: he's going to come up with a solution to a problem.
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: Fine.
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: He decided to partner up with Elizabeth Warren. Of anybody
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: who could partner up with, he chose her. And this
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: is not what's called a compromise. This is called a
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: surrender of conservative principles. When it is the way we're
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: going to fix is this progressive policy that's ninety one
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: years old, started up by FDR during the New deal
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: communism is we're going to get everybody to pay more
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: into it instead of going after.
• 49:33
  Speaker 5: Fraud, waste and abuse.
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: Why is it that their first reaction and is Republican
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: Party isn't to go after fraud, waste and abuse. I mean,
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: Vance's the frauds are. I haven't heard an update in
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: thirty days or forty or fifty.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: No, I've updated stories on going after fraud. The Department
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: of Justice is largely responsible for that. They're on it night.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: There's been a bunch of stories over the last several days.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Just because JD. Vance is not specifically named doesn't mean
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: that there's not some effort with him pushing forward with
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: the Department of Justice or suggesting that that should be
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: a area of priority. And that's obviously where it is now.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: So that's a good thing.
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: Well, anyways, back to Bernie, we can maybe agree to
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: disagree that we're getting anything out of this frauds are
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: and froud task work. I haven't seen anybody go to prison.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: Well get your point, because we're almost at it, we're
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: out of time. Go ahead and get to your point.
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: Well, this is just you know, here's what I'd like
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: to call to action is get nine more people. I
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: send him an email yesterday, and nine more people send
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: him an email telling him how dissatisfied.
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: We are, because the one thing we learned from Mass
• 50:36
  Speaker 5: is that.
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: You get ten people send you an email that's statistically significant.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: It does.
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: Don't vote Rhino, don't vote Democrat.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Brian, Thank you again, Jay, And yeah, you
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: know the other component of this. My first reaction wasn't
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: you know it's Elizabeth Warren. I thought maybe he joined
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: with Warren to create some measure of bipartisan credibility. And
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: I understand that from a political perspective, but it's increasing
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: the withholdings of earnings. Is anybody ever considered in Washington,
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: d C. Just cut overall spending m living within one's means.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: There's an interesting concept tech Friday with Dave Hatter and
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: early tech Friday. We'll call it tech Thursday. Coming to
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: next Chimney Care fireplace and stuff. They do it all
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: when it comes to you. Six point thirty one. I
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: think about CARSD Talk Station. He's very happy Thursday slash Friday,
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: E looking forward to Independence Day. Going to miss tomorrow,
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: but you'll have a best of show tomorrow and today
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: because tomorrow and no one's going to be here except
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: the tape we get. Dave had her for an early
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: version of Tech Friday. Dave Hatter from interest it sponsors
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: to segment interest it dot com, where you find his
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: company for all your business computer needs. According to Business Courier,
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: they are the best. Dave Welcome back man. Perfect for
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: the first story too, bricking of cars. On the heels
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: of that article, I read about the surveillance state that
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: is your new car. Welcome back.
• 51:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, thanks, Brian. Always good to be here.
• 51:53
  Speaker 10: Uh, you may recall it's been several years, and I'll
• 51:57
  Speaker 10: bring it up every once in a while. Mozilla, the
• 51:59
  Speaker 10: people that may the Firefox web browser, which I have
• 52:02
  Speaker 10: one of my favorites, frankly better rather than Google's Chrome.
• 52:06
  Speaker 10: They have a site called Privacy Not Included. Because your
• 52:10
  Speaker 10: car really now is just another so called Internet of
• 52:13
  Speaker 10: Things device. Are using my finger quotes for you over
• 52:16
  Speaker 10: the radio? Smart device right, Mozilla and their Privacy Not
• 52:22
  Speaker 10: Included a website looks at the privacy and security features
• 52:26
  Speaker 10: of these things, and they pointed out several years ago
• 52:30
  Speaker 10: in a big expose specifically focused on cars, not just
• 52:34
  Speaker 10: smart coffee makers and doorbells, specifically focused on cars. How
• 52:38
  Speaker 10: almost all modern cars are really rolling computers. They collect
• 52:44
  Speaker 10: all kinds of data, all kinds of data that really
• 52:46
  Speaker 10: is not necessary for your car to take you from
• 52:49
  Speaker 10: point A to point B. So they raised this concern,
• 52:53
  Speaker 10: and other people have raised it along the way. But
• 52:55
  Speaker 10: the article that you're referring to, I thought was very
• 52:58
  Speaker 10: interesting because it speaks to something I've been trying to
• 53:02
  Speaker 10: raise awareness about for a long time, which is our
• 53:06
  Speaker 10: digital society. When I say digital society, think about it
• 53:09
  Speaker 10: for a second. What do you use now in a
• 53:12
  Speaker 10: daily basis that's related to let's say your finances, your work,
• 53:17
  Speaker 10: your education, that is not a computer of some sort
• 53:21
  Speaker 10: or is not connected to the internet. Somehow, I think
• 53:24
  Speaker 10: people still have kind of a hard time connecting that. Okay,
• 53:29
  Speaker 10: if I have a smart doorbell, or a thermostat, or
• 53:31
  Speaker 10: coffee maker or fill in the blank, it's it's really
• 53:35
  Speaker 10: just a computer, right. That device now has software in it.
• 53:37
  Speaker 10: It's a computers. It's doing something ideally that supports the
• 53:42
  Speaker 10: functionality that device. And you know, you can make all
• 53:45
  Speaker 10: kinds of rationale for why your car should have all
• 53:48
  Speaker 10: these sensors and collect all this data and do all
• 53:51
  Speaker 10: these things. There's all kinds of reasons for it, many
• 53:53
  Speaker 10: of which you know are beneficial to you as the
• 53:55
  Speaker 10: owner of the car, the driver of the car, et cetera.
• 53:58
  Speaker 10: But as we keep making things small, we keep increasing
• 54:02
  Speaker 10: the risk that something will go wrong. And this car story, again,
• 54:07
  Speaker 10: I thought it was really interesting. They mentioned there's a
• 54:09
  Speaker 10: huge increase in the rise of vulnerabilities in the software
• 54:12
  Speaker 10: in cars. Did you have to catch the story, Brian
• 54:14
  Speaker 10: that Ford recently issued a recall for four point four
• 54:17
  Speaker 10: million vehicles due to faulty software.
• 54:19
  Speaker 6: I did see that, okay, So that that plays into
• 54:23
  Speaker 6: this right again.
• 54:24
  Speaker 10: Headline Automotive Cybersecurity News Q one, twenty twenty six Vehicle
• 54:28
  Speaker 10: vulnerabilities double year on year vulnerability, meaning the software in
• 54:33
  Speaker 10: the vehicle has some kind of flaw right. And then
• 54:38
  Speaker 10: one of the things they point out in this article
• 54:40
  Speaker 10: is that, apparently, and they didn't mention the manufacturing here,
• 54:43
  Speaker 10: a lot of vehicles were bricked. Brick is a computer nerd,
• 54:46
  Speaker 10: someone like me's term for the device doesn't work anymore
• 54:50
  Speaker 10: because of bad software. Probably many people in your audience
• 54:53
  Speaker 10: have done an upgrade of something and it didn't work anymore.
• 54:56
  Speaker 10: They're basically saying that these vehicles you couldn't unlock door,
• 55:00
  Speaker 10: she couldn't start the vehicles. So, and the point I
• 55:04
  Speaker 10: guess I'm trying to draw together is as we add
• 55:07
  Speaker 10: software into things, it creates vulnerabilities, it creates right to
• 55:10
  Speaker 10: repair issues, do.
• 55:11
  Speaker 6: You really own it?
• 55:12
  Speaker 10: Intellectual property, all that sort of stuff. But as this
• 55:15
  Speaker 10: article points out, what if those were police cars that
• 55:19
  Speaker 10: were bricked. What if those are fire trucks that are bricked.
• 55:21
  Speaker 10: What if they're bricked because of a bad software update?
• 55:24
  Speaker 10: Remember a few years ago, the CrowdStrike thing, Brian, Yeah,
• 55:27
  Speaker 10: CrowdStrike is a company that makes anti virus software. They
• 55:29
  Speaker 10: bricked ten million Windows computers accidentally with a software update.
• 55:34
  Speaker 10: Or what if they're bricked because an adversarial nation like
• 55:36
  Speaker 10: China flips the switch and turns them off or turns
• 55:39
  Speaker 10: them into weapons. You're driving along in your autonomous vehicle
• 55:42
  Speaker 10: and suddenly it decides that here's the nearest chemical plant,
• 55:46
  Speaker 10: I'm going to drive Brian into it.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: Or the parade celebrating America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday.
• 55:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a good point. I know this sounds crazy
• 55:56
  Speaker 6: to people, it's not. I always encourage folks.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: No, no, let me clariful. You always say that, Dave.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: If you think this sounds crazy, you are misinformed.
• 56:06
  Speaker 10: It's just it's I think it's hard for people to
• 56:08
  Speaker 10: connect the dots on this stuff. And again to realize
• 56:10
  Speaker 10: that once something has software in it and then it's
• 56:13
  Speaker 10: connected to the Internet, whether it's back doors built into
• 56:17
  Speaker 10: the software explicitly to allow remote control. You know, sometimes
• 56:21
  Speaker 10: you want remote control over something, but you don't want
• 56:23
  Speaker 10: an adversarial nation like China to have remote control over it. Yeah,
• 56:28
  Speaker 10: whether it's just flaws in the software that make it
• 56:30
  Speaker 10: work incorrectly or or brick it, or it's again hackers,
• 56:36
  Speaker 10: not necessarily a nation state, but hackers who decide that
• 56:39
  Speaker 10: they want to take this thing, take control of it,
• 56:42
  Speaker 10: take it out, steal data, use it as an entry
• 56:45
  Speaker 10: point to your other devices. And you know, Brian, I'm
• 56:48
  Speaker 10: no luddite, but we've got to get serious about critical infrastructure.
• 56:52
  Speaker 10: We've got to slow down on all of this everything
• 56:54
  Speaker 10: being digital and think about the possible ramifications. When all
• 56:59
  Speaker 10: the from a specific manufacturer don't work anymore, what's.
• 57:03
  Speaker 6: Going to be bad.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: It's going to be bad. And continuing a theme, assume
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: you've been hacked plus major infrastructure hacking is inevitable. The
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: next two topics with Dave. But it's smile on your face.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: Don't go like USA Installation's premium phone. I bet you wish.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: See the talk station six krc DE talk station Happy
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: Friday Eve doing a special edition It's tech Thursday with
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: Dave Hatter. All right, so we just need to assume
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: we've been hacked. I think that sounds like a logical
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: presumption to spring from Dave.
• 57:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 57:34
  Speaker 10: Well, I want to want to slide back into this
• 57:37
  Speaker 10: topic after a few more points on the last one,
• 57:40
  Speaker 10: because I think it's it's it's all related, Brian.
• 57:43
  Speaker 6: It's all related.
• 57:44
  Speaker 10: When they say assume you'll be hacked in this Atlantic article.
• 57:49
  Speaker 10: It's not just your computer anymore. It's not just your phone,
• 57:52
  Speaker 10: it's not just your online accounts. It's your again smart refrigerator,
• 57:57
  Speaker 10: your smart doorbell, your car. So I just go back
• 58:00
  Speaker 10: to the well, Yeah, if I can, if I could
• 58:03
  Speaker 10: take over your Wi Fi router or internet cable modem,
• 58:06
  Speaker 10: however you want to think of it. Sometimes it's two devices,
• 58:09
  Speaker 10: sometimes it's one. I can potentially intercept all the traffic
• 58:12
  Speaker 10: going into and coming out of your house or your
• 58:14
  Speaker 10: business for that matter, you hopefully you have a firewall
• 58:18
  Speaker 10: in your business. But again, don't want to get too technical.
• 58:21
  Speaker 10: But let me just read from this article and then
• 58:23
  Speaker 10: I'll come back to this other article. One of the
• 58:25
  Speaker 10: most disruptive incidents highlighted now this is the car hacking
• 58:28
  Speaker 10: we just talked about, involves a telematics provider compromise that
• 58:31
  Speaker 10: led to a mass bricking event. So telemannicx provider telematics
• 58:36
  Speaker 10: is just the data coming off these cars. And it
• 58:38
  Speaker 10: also illustrates the idea of third party risk. Right, your
• 58:43
  Speaker 10: device might not get hacked, but it might depend on
• 58:46
  Speaker 10: a service, some cloud based service, and then it gets hacked. Right,
• 58:50
  Speaker 10: So the telematics provider as a third party service, says
• 58:54
  Speaker 10: attackers infiltrated the provider's network, disabling mobile app functions for
• 58:58
  Speaker 10: unlocking and starting viahicles across multiple brands. Owners were stranded
• 59:03
  Speaker 10: for nearly two weeks, revealing severe dependencies on cloud services
• 59:06
  Speaker 10: for basic vehicle operations. Additionally, the report site say twelve
• 59:10
  Speaker 10: point four million record breach at a major online auto marketplace,
• 59:14
  Speaker 10: executed through AI assisted voice fishing targeting help desks. The
• 59:19
  Speaker 10: point I'm trying to make is when they say, Assume
• 59:22
  Speaker 10: you will be hacked is every as I was saying
• 59:25
  Speaker 10: in the last segment. Everything has software in it. Everything
• 59:28
  Speaker 10: is connected to the Internet, and in many cases, things
• 59:32
  Speaker 10: are interconnected in ways that aren't even obvious to you
• 59:34
  Speaker 10: as the consumer slash user. There are all these dependencies
• 59:38
  Speaker 10: between things. You know, your car might be sending data
• 59:41
  Speaker 10: to some third party company that built the app that
• 59:44
  Speaker 10: makes your car work.
• 59:45
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 59:46
  Speaker 10: Maybe, and I'm not trying to point the finger in
• 59:48
  Speaker 10: any specific car manufacturer, but maybe you have a Volvo,
• 59:52
  Speaker 10: let's say, and maybe the app that allows you to
• 59:55
  Speaker 10: control your Volvo or your Lexus or fill in the
• 59:57
  Speaker 10: blank wasn't even made by Alexi or fill in the blank,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 10: and it's got some connectivity to some cloud based things somewhere.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 10: If that gets hacked, it might shut down your car,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 10: even though it's not the car manufacturer's problem. So getting
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 10: back to this Atlantic article, assuming will be hacked, I
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 10: encourage folks go read this thing. The subhead is AI
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 10: is enabling a deluge of cyber attacks, the likes of
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 10: which we've never seen before. And again it's now it's
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 10: not just okay, someone was able to get into through
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 10: my firewall, into my computer.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 6: They got them.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 10: I'm just talking to Businessman's got to my server, encrypted
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 10: all my data.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 6: Now we got to pay ransom. That's bad.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 10: Happens all the time. But all of us are now
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 10: so dependent on this technology. Everything is being enabled with technology,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 10: if you want to think of it that way. And
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 10: that's the point they're trying to make there, right, It's
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 10: I'm not against this stuff, Brian, this is what I
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 10: did my whole life, you know. I'm just trying to
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 10: point out that we are now so reliant on this
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 10: and so increasingly reliant on it. You have this idea
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 10: again of third party risk. You're using some device or
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 10: some app or some software or whatever that relies on
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 10: some other thing that you don't even know about, and
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 10: when it goes down, it potentially takes your thing down.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 10: And when I say down, I don't even necessarily mean
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 10: cyber attack. It could be bad software, it could be
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 10: natural disaster. Again, we as consumers, as people who rely
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 10: on this stuff, as a society that is now highly technical.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 10: You know, most of the time, the focus on this
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 10: technology is not privacy, security, resilience. It's speed to market,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 10: ease of use, market share, profit margin, and collect as
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 10: much data as possible because it allows me to sell
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 10: you more stuff and increase my profit market. We are
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 10: not focused on the right things from a consumer perspective
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 10: or frankly, from a societal perspective, and we just keep
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 10: coming up with more and more articles that illustrate these
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 10: kinds of problems.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: Yours is a plea to the industry, and I get it.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you were the industry Dave had was
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: responsible for software development, all that he would be thinking
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: first and foremost about the things that you talk about
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: every week on this program and this segment, putting security
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: and privacy and all that at the forefront, and then
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: building the product right behind all of the firewall, if
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: I can use that term loosely, that's been designed to
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: protect all of us from the nefarious things you bring
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: up every week. Please industry wake up to this because
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: the next segment is huge in terms of concern. Yeah,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: major infrastructure. Don't go away. More with Dave Hatter see
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: the talk station sixth if you want to pick about
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: KROCD talk station tech Thursday. Intrust dot Com found Dave
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: and the crews are the best in the business for
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: business computer needs. You know, I was thinking about this
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: next story here, infrastructure hacking inevitable. When you're talking about
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: the last segment, you know, I try to move the
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: steer clear of all this these apps in this modern
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: technology day because in my perception, you know, it's like
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: the smart cars. I've gone this far in my life
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: without any incident. I do fine without the technology. I
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: don't even need it. I don't want it. It might
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: make my life a little easier, but you know what,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: my life's not difficult now, but it will fail. Are
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: you prepared, like, do you have a fire planned to
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: escape your house in the event you have a fire?
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: What happens if this stuff fails? And apparently our government's
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: starting to look at that reality.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 10: Yeah, and it's long overdue. And I think that's the
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 10: way you describe it is the right way to think
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 10: about it, Brian. You know, in the old days, you
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 10: went out and we stick with the car for a second.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 10: You went out and you bought a car, and yeah,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 10: it had different systems in the car, but it was
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 10: still mostly just a mechanical device, right, it had a car,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 10: Bret gas when in the cylinder's explosions happened, that sort
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 10: of thing you know, I think back to when I
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 10: was a kid, right, and in the seventies, your average
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 10: car was not very technologically advanced. It had an electrical system. Again,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 10: it had different systems that provide a different functionality, but
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 10: it wasn't that advanced. Most anybody could work on it, right.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 6: Now now your car is a rolling computer.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 10: Everything is digitalmtically sealed too.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 10: Well, this whole right to repair thing, right And you
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 10: know Ford recently caused some controversy talking about that, and
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 10: we've talked about that before. The idea of well, this
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 10: device has our software in it. So even though you
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 10: quote bought it, even though you quote own it, you
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 10: don't really own it because you can't take it apart,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 10: you can't work on it. It's our intellectual property, you know,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 10: you don't really own it. Right to repair again, it's
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 10: a whole separate thing. But your analogy is right on
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 10: the money, you know.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 6: And what SISS.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 10: SISS is the Cybersecurity, Infrastructure and Security Agency. It's a
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 10: Department of Homeland security agency focused on primarily on cybersecurity
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 10: around critical infrastructure. The FBI has defined sixteen critical infrastructure sectors,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 10: things like transportation, water, power, that sort of things right,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 10: and so at a conference there, the interim director is
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 10: talking about this and they say right. In recent years,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 10: US government has reordered its cybersecurity strategy away from prevention
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 10: and towards resilience. I would argue that's because A we
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 10: increasingly are adding software to things, making them smart, opening
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 10: up the possibility for attack. B As we've already discussed
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 10: now for some time, software just has inherent flaws in it.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 10: And see things fail, whether it's a solar event, whether
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 10: it's an attack from an adversary o nation state actor,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 10: whether it's a bad software update that bricks millions of devices,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 10: a LAH crowd strike a few years ago. Things fail.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 10: And this is something we've been trying to convince customers
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 10: of for a long time. It's not just about protecting.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 10: That's still important. You still need to defend these things.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 10: There are still bad actors out there trying to break
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 10: into your systems, shut down your business, steal your money,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 10: steal your data, all that stuff around the clock and
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 10: the attack are accelerating thanks to AI is that Atlantic
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 10: article pointed out. But all of that said, eventually, as
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 10: you mentioned, Brian, things break right. Mechanical failure happens to
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 10: a server, the Internet goes down for some reason, solar flare,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 10: electromagnetic pulse, whatever, and you know, the focus on we
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 10: need to think about resiliency because we are so dependent
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 10: on this stuff. Now, you know, thirty forty years ago,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 10: I think we've talked about the Carrington event before. In
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 10: the late eighteen hundreds, a solar flare hit the Earth
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 10: that was so strong it set telegraph wires on fire
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 10: and bleu out telegraph stations. But we weren't that technologically
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 10: advanced then. You know, a steam engine didn't have electrical
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 10: systems that could be knocked out by a solar flare
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 10: and permanently destroyed. It'd have to be totally replaced.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 10: Well, now, if you had something like that, it'd be
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 10: a huge problem. So again the idea of resilience, right.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 10: And Nick Anderson says in this article for arount of time,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 10: each and every one of us is operating right now
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 10: in the front line of a war that is never
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 10: going to be cleared again. He's the acting director of SISA,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 10: and this was at a conference he said, we are
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 10: going to see an adversarial disruption of our critical infrastructure.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 10: It's going to have significant, not just technical impact, and
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 10: it's going to have a significant psychological impact on the
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 10: safety of the American people. We need to start operating
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 10: like that's the reality of where we're at, that we're
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 10: not going to be able to keep everything persistently online
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 10: and available as much as we would like. And that's
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 10: I agree wholeheartedly with what he's saying. Again, look at CrowdStrike.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 10: This is a company that's making software to defend your
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 10: devices and a software update and oversimplifying, but a software
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 10: update they put out took out roughly ten million devices.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 10: It was running on speed. You know, all the reasons
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 10: why things are done the way they are, I understand them,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 10: But we have we've crossed the rubicon now where we're
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 10: so dependent on this stuff that we have got to
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 10: slow down and we have got to think about resilience
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 10: and what happens when this stuff failed, and the larger
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 10: impact on society.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 6: And I'm glad folks.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 10: Like mister Anderson here are raising these points and that
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 10: we're talking about it here so they can so that
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 10: people can talk to their friends, talk to their elected
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 10: offacials and say, hey, what about this and what are
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 10: we going to do when these systems go out for
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 10: whatever reason.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: Important point, and I'm glad you brought it up. And
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: again you know the idea is you bring this up here.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: I know this program, this show here is rather successful
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: according to the ratings that you provided me, so a
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: lot of people listening it beyond the greater Cincinnati area.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: And I'm glad you auditioning out some great advice, Dave
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: Heed Dave's warning, let's go all get on the bandwagon,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: Dave Hatter, Thank you so much for what you do.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: Thank you for your company interest it dot com and
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: all the work that you do for greater Cincinnati companies,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: and for your willingness to come on the show every
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: week with this valuable information. Brother. I hope you have
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: a great Independence Day and I'll look forward to talking
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: with you next Friday.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 10: Always my pleasure, Brian. A happy Independence Day to you
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 10: and Joe and all your listeners, and I'll look forward
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 10: to chatting with you next week.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: Thanks my friend. Coming up next, Congressman Warren Davidson, don't
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: go away seven six for a happy Thursday to you.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas here, host of the fifty five prese Morning Show.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: Always looking forward to an opportunity to talk with Congressman
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: Warren Davidson, and we're gonna do it right now. Welcome back,
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson. I truly appreciate you being on the program,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: and as we fast approach the two hundred and fiftieth
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: birthday of America, I want to thank you for your
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: service to our country and everything that you continue to
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: do in your capacity is elected official. Good to have
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: you back on the show.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 11: Hey, thanks Brian. What a great time to celebrate America's
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 11: birthday and it's always an honor to be able to
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 11: join you.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, And you know, I just real
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: quick here, and I know this is compared to everything
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: else going on in the world and all the concerns
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: we have global issues, local issues. This nonsense about the
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool and Donald Trump is really obviously
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: with the help of all kinds of workers, but the
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: DC apparently has been scrubbed clean. Monuments that are have
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: been cleaned up, graffiti fountains have not flowed since the
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: Obama administration are now cleaned up and flowing. Everything apparently
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: is looking great. I've seen multiple videos from residents of
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: d C, probably all Democrats, since that's the political makeup
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: all just raving about how wonderful this is. And yet
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: he fixes the reflecting pool. It doesn't say Donald Trump
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: in the paint on the bottom of the pool. There's
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: no connection with Donald Trump. He just has to be president,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: and yet vandals are tearing it up because he's taken
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: the steps to improve what was really a cesspool of water.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson is it hasn't improved that much. Are people
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: really enjoying it? And what's your reaction to this Trump
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: derangement syndrome that they're dealing with.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 11: Well, yeah, I mean start with Trump derangement syndrome. Normally,
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 11: it would be a no brainer. Everyone go, yeah, it
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 11: looks beautiful. You cleaned it up, it looks nice. That
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 11: would be a rational, normal reaction. But when Donald Trump
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 11: tries to take credit for doing any of this, Trump
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 11: derangement syndrome kicks in and look, I introduced to Bill
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 11: and I would love to see Anish National Institutes of
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 11: Health do it. It directs them to study Trump arrangement
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 11: syndrome as a psychological condition. I mean, people are wrecking
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 11: their lives. There are people that are I mean divorces
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 11: over one spouse likes Trump. And the other doesn't. I know,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 11: people that didn't go to their son or daughter's wedding
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 11: because one of the spouses likes Donald Trump. Er both
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 11: do and they don't. I mean this case, you know,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 11: it just blows my mind and the amount of energy
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 11: we've spent talking about this reflecting pool, you know, versus
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 11: other substantive stories. It's like, why does this become the
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 11: shiny object that the media fixates on, right instead of,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 11: you know, explaining all the other things that we could
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 11: Another one, he's got a mock up at the State
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 11: Fair Park portion of the displays. Look, you got fifty states.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 6: They get these booths.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 11: Out there where you can come and highlight your state,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 11: and Ohio's got a nice set up. States decided not things.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 11: We won't promote tourism or our state or anything Donald
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 11: Trump as president. We won't be celebrating America two fifty
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 11: on the National Mall. And they sent nothing, I mean
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 11: absolutely nothing. So there's like empty chairs there to be
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 11: put in there in case somebody wants to put a
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 11: brake and TDS is real. I mean people, if anybody
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 11: else did this, they would go, oh, it's a great
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 11: way to highlight our state. But they won't participate well.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: And it's also part and parcel of this idea that
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: America can't be celebrated. Now maybe TDS has something to
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: do with that, but this division that is perpetually, you know,
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: stirred up and fueled by social media and of course
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: outside influencers like the Chinese Communist Party, it's well documented
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: they feed off this division, they encourage it, and it
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: just it's kind of strange because don't we all collectively
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: have something to be extraordinarily proud of in spite of
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: the country's wards, everything that we have done, and all
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: the improvements and advancements technological and otherwise that we have
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: brought the world. The fact that we have demonstrably been
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: the most successful economically country in the world, We have
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: the right business model. Aren't these things that should be
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: celebrated and mimicked. Just the rejection of all this, I
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: don't get it. And maybe that in and of itself
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: is a form of DSM five diagnosable mental illness.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean you look objectively, America is the most
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 11: successful country ever. We've been incredibly benevolent around the world,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 11: and instead people are like, oh, how dare you turn
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 11: off all free stuff for people in Africa, and which
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 11: other country was given all this stuff? Anybody? You know,
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 11: we've done amazing things around the world, a country to
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 11: be celebrated, and admittedly not perfect, I mean even in
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 11: the constitution to form a more perfect union. You know,
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 11: we're striving and you know we've done great things. But
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 11: that is the whole left narrative. It says you couldn't
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 11: come into America two fifty and celebrate America if you
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 11: had elected a Democrat, you know, Democrats, socialist surging communist
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 11: momentum over there, and the left wing, you know, you'd
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 11: be over there trying to spend America two fifty repenting
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 11: for every imperfection and perceived or real in America's history.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 11: And that would be you know, America two fifty. You know,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 11: feel shame because you're an American.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 11: Nevertheless, everyone in the world wants to be here.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, therein lies the challenge we face with unregulated, unchecked,
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: open borders and immigration. That's the whole world wants to
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: come to this grand and glorious place. And of course
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't be if we kept open borders, which is
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: what the Democrats wants. We'd be so overwhelmed the social
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: welfare safety that would literally collapse, and all people who
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: are currently here would see everything evaporate. There's only so
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: much this country can sustain, and that's why we need
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: a regulated immigration system. But just let me ask real quick,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: in so far as Trumps arrangement syndrome or Donald Trump
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: generally speaking, do you think that there is and I
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: do believe there is a direct connection between this just
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: absolute hatred, unhings, hatred for the man Donald Trump, and
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: the rise of the Democratic Socialist Now, I know this
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: DSA rise has a real it puts. It has a
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: real problem for the Democratic Party. They're struggling to cope
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: with it. But do you think there's a corollarya between
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: the those that won elections in the primaries and for example,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: the actual election of Zorhan Mamdami is mayor in New
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: York City, which puzzles me that that has something to
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: do with TDS.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I think it's a little bit related, because you know,
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 11: for the Democratic Party, the party itself, their whole message
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 11: was Trump is bad. And you know for a lot
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 11: of people, you know, they're looking at it going with okay,
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 11: but what are you for? And they couldn't agree on
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 11: anything else in terms of what they're for. They just
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 11: agree Trump is bad. I mean, you know, you think
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 11: about this. Prior to twenty sixteen, moral relativism was something
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 11: we talked about, you know, your truth and all this stuff.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 11: That the whole relativism idea has kind of gone away
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 11: because they've agreed that there is one thing in the
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 11: world it's bad. It's Donald Trump. And I think for
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 11: a lot of people left of center, they said, well,
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 11: we got to have something.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 4: Other than that.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 11: What do we actually want? And the only people that
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 11: we're getting my time that we're crowding the news and
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 11: frankly not accidentally in terms of the controlled media's attention
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 11: to them, were the you know communists, you know Mondomies
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 11: of the world that are out there pushing sure that
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 11: they had a real grassroots movement and now it's working
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 11: and they're there are people that are ready to embrace
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 11: it because they're giving an answer. I mean, it's a
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 11: wrong answer, but it's a it's a con game that works.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 11: Often they highlight some problems in the world and they
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 11: say that, you know, look, the reason you're poor is
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 11: somebody else is rich, right, you know, this guy doesn't
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 11: pay enough taxes and that's why things are bad for you.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 11: And you know this this somehow works. It works in
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 11: a lot of.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 5: Places in the world.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 11: The socialism itself never works, but the offer of social does,
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 11: and it produces power for the people selling it. And
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 11: then when they get in power, well they don't have
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 11: a tool that will work, and.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 5: You know, they have to adapt.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 11: And that's why China is like, oh, well we have
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 11: communism with Chinese principles. Well, real communism produced total poverty, right,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 11: So then they said, well, let's do communism with Chinese principles,
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 11: which is capitalism with our party in control. But then
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 11: state sponsored capitalism and that's faltering now too, and so
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 11: you know, I think in a way that makes China
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 11: more dangerous because they're not able to sustain what was working.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: Right, and neither is New York I saw mom Domini
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: just beaming with pride to claiming that his socialist policies
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: resulted in a balanced budget or at least closing the
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: billions the twelve million dollars budget deficit that he inherited.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: He inherited it from a bunch of Democrats. Pivot over
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: to Illinois, the governor there dealing with the same problems.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: He's got a massive problem with the pension program as
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: well as everything else in terms of economics. Because of
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: demos have run Illinois now unchecked for decades. That led
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: to the problems. What do they have to do? They
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: have to reach out to somebody else's pocket and steal
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: more money from them in order to try to fix
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: the problems that they created. Those deficits didn't come from
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: some form of conservative minded, principled government. They came from
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: runaway government spending. And you're always going to need more money, right,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: Margaret Thatcher pointed it out long time ago. The problem
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: with socialism you'll eventually run out of other people's money.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: That seems to be the trajectory we are on. Congressman Davidson.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: Is there anything happening in DC now? I understand Tuesday
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: had a little meltdown on the floor and some of
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: the House Conservatives ultimately blockaded the protest over the Save
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: America Act. I want to find out where this Save
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: America Act is and where Congressman Davidson is on the process.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: Let's do that next. First, a word for it, and
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: let me before I mentioned zimmer heating and air conditioning,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: which has for eighty years. We have Congressman Warren Davidson
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: as we head on into the two hundred and fiftieth
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: anniversary of the founding of our country, and proud we
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: should all be. Congressman Davidson, My understanding is on Tuesday,
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: there was a procedural vote got blocked by what they're
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: calling the House Conservatives that froze the legislative business for
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: the foreseeable future because of the Save America Act. And
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: I understand that some want to merge the Save America
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: Act as a freestanding Act into the National Defense Authorization Act.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: I know that's being discussed over in the Senate. Well
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: can you break this down for my listeners as well
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: as me, because I'm a little confused. And why hasn't
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: it been voted on across the board?
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 11: Well, the House has passed it three times, so you
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 11: know a lot of people are like, find, we can
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 11: pass it every day if you want, but like, it
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 11: doesn't put pressure on the Senate. They've already succeeded in
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 11: ignoring it. It's an eighty percent issue. They're ignoring the world,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 11: the people. The President's been somewhat clear about his views
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 11: on the subject. You know, so John Thune seems immune
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 11: to this. I mean, maybe the voters in South Dakota
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 11: can get his attention, I'm not sure, but nothing else
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 11: seems to be getting their attention there where they're going
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 11: to take the floor and actually hold the debate and
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 11: force a vote on Save America. And you know, a
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 11: lot of us are frustrated on that. In a number
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 11: of other issues where we've worked hard to get stuff done,
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 11: we have very narrow majorities in the House frankly, no
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 11: bigger than theirs in the Senate, but with two hundred
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 11: and twenty people in the Republican Party here versus fifty
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 11: three in the Republican Party in the Senate, so it's
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 11: been tough. And so you know where the American people
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 11: are frustrated. I think a lot of my colleagues are
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 11: at least that frustrated. And so the procedural vote you're
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 11: talking about the week kind of starts. You have some
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 11: things that are suspension votes, which are two thirds have
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 11: to agree, and you don't go through a rule for that.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 11: Leadership just gets to notice them and put them on
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 11: the floor for them to pass. Since it takes two thirds.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 11: Theft to generally be pretty non controversial. I don't always
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 11: agree with that verdict, but they usually pass with two
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 11: thirds votes. And then there's a rule vote, and that says,
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 11: here's what we're going to vote on this week. Here's
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 11: the you know, the bill topic. Here's how much time
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 11: we're going to devote to debate on these bills. And
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 11: then here's whether or not we're going to allow amendments
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 11: to be made in order and which which amendments will
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 11: be made in order. So it sets the term for
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 11: the debate. And so that rule has to pass for
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 11: us to really have an agenda. And that's the procedural vote.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 11: Most people are like, well, we voted on this, that
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 11: or the other thing the rule Most people don't really track,
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 11: but that's the procedural leverage that in a narrow majority,
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 11: it tends to be party line Republicans and Democrats. Democrats
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 11: don't even agree with our agenda. Of course, they don't
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 11: want to vote on our agenda, right, so you have
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 11: to essentially have you can lose two or three and
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 11: otherwise you won't be able to pass.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 5: So we had to.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 11: I think five or six that voted against the rule
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 11: might have been more, but by the end, but five
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 11: or six were driving the objection in a lot of
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 11: it was well, we're not voting on anything until we
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 11: can make the Senate vote on Save America. And I
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 11: think for a lot of us who are like, well,
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 11: how is us doing nothing going to put pressure on
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 11: the Senate? You know, yeah, let us let us we
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 11: only have so much time on offense. Let us play
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 11: offense while we can, as my view, and you know,
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 11: shame on the Senate for not doing it there. So
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 11: in my view, we should come back, hit the ground
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 11: running and deal with birthright citizenship. I mean, I should
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 11: be on the agenda right away. We should bring up
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 11: a bill, we should talk about it, vote about it,
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 11: and and do something substantive to address to meet the moment.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 11: And instead we are out here talking about appropriations and
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 11: defense authorization in a way that is going to need
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 11: every Republican vote, frankly, and we haven't built the consensus
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 11: and so you know, those are decisions that are tough
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 11: in this leadership challenge. But that's that's the way the
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 11: debates being framed.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I suppose I have to ask because the world
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: has seen through the Democrats arguments against say, which is
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: it's racism, it's Jim Crow too. But that's all nonsense.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: It's absolute nonsense, and no one buys into it. Everybody
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: needs a photo ID. It's not that big a deal.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: It's federal law. You've got to be a citizen to
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: vote in federal election. So what's the harm. There's no foul.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: Here are the Democrats willing to die on that hill
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: and nix the National Defense Authorization Act, which is described
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: as a must pass defense bill because a lot of
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: them are in favor of defense. If SAVE is incorporated
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: in it, where are they willing to say, notice save
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: because of Jim Crow or something and tank the NDAA
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: as well, or do you think they would swallow and
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: just let them move it forward.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 11: Well that's the question, right, And that's that's part of
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 11: the details that really are meaningful, is you could include
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 11: SAVE as part of the Defense Authorization Act. It really
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 11: isn't quote germane. It's a different topic. So it is
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 11: a stretch of the House rules to do that. And
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 11: so what the leadership put on the floor was something
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 11: called a MERV. It's an acronym, but they're going to
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 11: merge two things. So with one rule, they're going to
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 11: send two bills over, Well, that doesn't combine them. It
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 11: wouldn't make the Save America Act part of the Defense
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 11: Authorization Act. It would just send Save America over again,
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 11: since it's already passed with the NDAA. And so for
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 11: the hardliners that we're pushing this play, well, that doesn't
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 11: really do anything. They're going to continue to ignore the
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 11: Save America Act. So like your concession, mister speaker, is meaningless.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 11: So no, and that's that's why the floor shut down.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: Well, the only thing I have to observe is a
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: little chuckle here to the idea that while will the
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: NDAA and SAVED don't really have any connection with each other,
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: and how could they be in one bill? Isn't that
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: what Congress does all the time? A mixed bag hodgepodge
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: of all kinds of stations.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 11: Totally, and yeah, totally, they do it all the time.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 11: And so one of the frustrations is is, look, I've
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 11: a I've got a bill. It's got one hundred and
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 11: ninety three co sponsors, right, they're all Republicans, and so
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 11: you can't get it through the sixty vote rule in
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 11: the Senate as a standalone build so I wanted to
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 11: include that in the NDAA. And the reason I wanted
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 11: it in the NDA is what it undoes something that
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 11: the Democrats imposed through the NDAA, and our current leadership
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 11: team wants to unilaterally disarm and say, no, no, our
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 11: stuff's going to be pure. It's going to be related
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 11: to defense. We'll leave the shanigans to Democrats. We're not
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 11: going to govern that way. And it's like the British saying, oh,
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 11: we're going to march out here in this open field,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 11: and the Democrats saying we're going to hide behind rocks
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 11: and trees and eat you up right. And that's what
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 11: this is why a lot of us are frustrated, are like, look,
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 11: we're on offense. Let's freaking play some offense and get
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 11: some stuff done. Because the sixty vote rule, it guarantees,
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 11: no matter how far left, you can elect communists to
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 11: the Democratic Party and they'll still be you know, a
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 11: handful of Republicans trotting out to say, oh, it's bipartisan,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 11: and the sixty vote rule in the Senate guarantees that
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 11: it's going to be bipartisan. So you're going to keep
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 11: turning left like Nascar, and it's driving us nuts. You're like,
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 11: when can we do this stuff we said we would do?
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 11: And I think that's the despair.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 6: That a lot of voters feel.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 11: They're like, why aren't we doing the things that we
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 11: promise to do in Congress? Right Exactly, most people who
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 11: voted for President Trumper generally happy with the policies. They're
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 11: doing what they can with executive action, at least that
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 11: which can survive the judges.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Doris, when Davidson, I certainly appreciate your willingness to
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: talk to us each and every week. I look forward
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: to next Thursday, and I hope you able to see
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: the talk station seven thirty three. If if you've have
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: KCV talkstation a little bit long with Congressman Davidson, we'll
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: have some time to spend with Susan Lucan. Susan Lucan
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: for Juvenile Court Judge. Find her online Lucan l u
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: k E N four not the number of the word
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: for four, Juvenile court dot com. Learn about who she is,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: her experience and she's got a lot of it, and
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: why she wants to be the juvenile Court judge. Welcome
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: Susan Lucan. It's a pleasure to have you on the program.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 12: Thanks Brian, it's great to be back.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 4: Thanks for having me.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 12: I appreciate it.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: I'd love to ask you all kinds of questions about
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: advisory opinions, but we all know you can't do that.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about your motivation for wanting to run
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: for judge against I guess it's Judge Bloom who's at
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: least in terms of my listening audience and all the
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: comments I've heard, kind of a bit of a disappointment
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: because when it comes dealing with juveniles in the criminal
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: justice system, she doesn't seem to want to meet on
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: any punishments and that's I think what's sadly missing from
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: Hamilton County criminal justice these days. But why juvenile court
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: Judge Susan.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 12: Yeah, you know that that is a big concern, and
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 12: that's definitely one of the big motivators too. So you know,
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 12: and I've been on the show before and we talked
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 12: quite a bit about my background and you are very
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 12: generous and covering it and doing your research like you
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 12: always do. So I'm currently a magistrate in probate Court
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 12: and I've been there for a few years, but I
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 12: was also a magistrate in Juvenile Court as well, and
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 12: between those two courts, I've been on the bench for
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 12: about six years now. I also have experienced as a
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 12: court administrator too, but I have a passion for helping
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 12: children and family. One of the things that I'm finding
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 12: so frustrating right now about juvenile court is just the
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 12: revolving door that we see on juvenile justice and just
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 12: the inability or the lack of willingness to use detention
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 12: as a means to deal with some of the problems
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 12: that we're seeing. And when we don't use detention as
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 12: an intervention, we're really failing to protect kids, because what
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 12: we're seeing is that very often kids are the victims
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 12: of a lot of the offenses that are going on.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 12: I mean, we just saw nineteen year old that was
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 12: arrested for the assassination style shooting of a fifteen year old,
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 12: and you know, there's a City of SINSNI report I
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 12: think I mentioned this last time I was on the
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 12: air that said that children or child victimization went up
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 12: in twenty twenty three by seventy percent. And so we
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 12: have to ask our we have to ask ourselves when
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 12: we're not using detention as an intervention, who are we
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 12: choosing to protect And it's certainly not other children, so
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 12: you know, and I just I'm trying to keep track
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 12: of all the shootings that are going on, you know,
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 12: and it's just like, what'sie know, what's going on in
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 12: our city right now is amazing. A close friend of
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 12: mine said that he was downtown literally on a Tuesday,
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 12: and he saw what couldn't have been older than a
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 12: fifteen year old walking around on Walnut Street with AK
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 12: forty seventh style weapon by daylight around six pm. So
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 12: it's just it's crazy, what's going on right now. But
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 12: I think that what we're yeah, and I think that
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 12: what we're seeing is a lot of judges came in
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 12: at the beginning of twenty twenty, including my opponent, Carry Boom,
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 12: and she became the administrative judge in twenty twenty three,
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 12: and these administrative judges are setting the policy for the court.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 12: And I think that what we're seeing is just the
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 12: effect of that. And it is certainly a policy that's
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 12: been set on in the adult court on bond but
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 12: also on detention, and you know, and we're seeing a
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 12: lot of delays in the courts as well, and we're
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 12: seeing the aftermath of that, and you know, we're seeing
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 12: these kids just growing up knowing that there are going
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 12: to be no consequences, no accountability. And you know, and
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 12: I don't know what's going on with all of these
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 12: shootings that are happening, and you know want of Hills.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 12: You know we have them in North College Hill. I
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 12: don't know if they're related, but you know that fifteen
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 12: year old was just picked up for the you know,
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 12: aggravated murder, for the aggravated murder charges for the fifty
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 12: year old.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: I reel over that every time that the how young
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: these children are that get firearms and murder their fellow
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: I mean usually it's their neighbors. I mean, Christopher Smith
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: has been on the program multitude of times talking about listen,
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: in most of the cases, the shootings and the murders
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: are black on black crime. You know, where are the
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: black community and demanding some sort of control over this
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: or some efforts by the criminal justice system to bring
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: these children account to some accountability. It's just disappeared. And
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: on that note, pause, I want to bring it back Susan,
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: looking to see if you think city hall, maybe the mayor,
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: maybe the city manager have some policy or some control
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: or influence over the decision making in the direction the
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: administrative judges are taking pause Online you'll find her and
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: you should lucan Ford Juvenile Court dot com. And we're
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: talking about Susan Lucin's on the program today to talk
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: about her race against Judge Bloom and going back to
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: what seemingly just ignoring the key element as I call it.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: You don't have to agree with me. The punishment is
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: a key on the criminal justice system. There needs to
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: be that deterrent effect. You know, all my buddy down
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: the street got picked up, he was committing a crime.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: He ended up going to the juvenile detention center, had
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: to spend some time there. It sucked. I'm not going
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: to go down that road without punishment. You're going to
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: have repeat offenders. Of course, recidivius is a recidab isn't
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: a problem. But Susan, the police are in the sort
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: of like why bother mode. I've had FOP President Ken
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: Kober on the program. I'm talking about, Listen, we can't
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: take kids of the curfew centers because well then we'll
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: be understaffed on the ground when all these youths run
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: them up in downtown Cincinnati. We can't sacrifice the officers
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: making a trip to the center. Only four kids were
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: even dropped dropped off at the curfew center last year
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: in the entire calendar year, so those are unused. And
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: we find out from him and others that it's not
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: even worth taking into the juvenile court system because nothing's
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: going to happen to them. Is this the breakdown or
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: is there something more nefarious going on behind the scenes,
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: which I've always blamed, which is lack of a family
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: life and parents who care well.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 12: I mean, I think it's multifaceted, but I think that
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 12: that's certainly part of it. I mean, I think that
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 12: there's just there's a huge system breakdown. There's so much
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 12: to it, and and I think that you had mentioned
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 12: too something about you know, city hall, and there are
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 12: so many different elements to this and just just had
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 12: to remain independent and they're thinking. But I think that
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 12: there's a common audiology that's shared here. And I do
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 12: think that there's certainly a breakdown in the home too,
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 12: and so there, you know. But on the other hand,
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 12: we did they have I believe in that kid of
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 12: the fifteen year old, there was a family member that
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 12: turned that that that you'th over right, So you know,
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 12: you know, you know, and that's that's what you need.
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 12: You need more people to step up. And I guess
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 12: when it gets bad enough people maybe we'll do that.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 12: But I think Ken is absolutely right, and you need
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 12: city hall, we need for police officers. How bad does
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 12: it have to get before people start taking this seriously?
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 12: And you know, I mean we had someone was telling
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 12: me the other day we had what fifty cars that
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 12: were broken into and Mount Adams the other night, and
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 12: it took it took police forty three minutes to be
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 12: able to respond to that. And it's not just in
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 12: our It's not just in the inner city city anymore.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 12: It's spreading everywhere.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, red, white, and blue ash.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 12: They're shutting down you have to be if you're under eighteen,
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 12: you can't get in without adult supervision. Right, Like our
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 12: whole all the Hamilton County is changing in reaction to this,
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 12: like our way of life is changing in reaction. And
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 12: so it's just I think it's a question of how
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 12: bad does it have to get, how far does it
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 12: have to go? How much does it have to reach
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 12: before people decide Okay, enough.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: Is enough, right, Well, clearly there are right, yeah, okay,
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: and Ken's on, Ken's behalf. You know, you got to
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: defend the police department. They're understaffed and they have then
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: they are tired and worn out, and they also morale
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: is struggling because of course they do all the effort
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: to deal with these crazy youths and juveniles and anywhere
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: everybody else that's involved in the criminal justice system, only
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: to find out the breakdown is either the Hamilton County
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: Prosecutor's office or in front of one of these woke
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: judges who does not believe in punishment is an appropriate
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: response to well violencer law breaking. So three areas police
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: Prosecutor's office and the and the bench. But then go
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: to area number four, which is of course the home
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: life and over the city Hall, where they have embraced
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: this sort of woke ideology as well. Whether it's rubbed
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: off and is responsible for the way that the h
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: the judges respond to criminal actions by most notably juveniles,
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. There are multiple elements here, all of
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: which seem to be broke.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 12: Right right, and and but you've got to start somewhere.
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 12: You've got to address every every element in the system,
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 12: and that's why we've got to start, and we've got
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 12: to start with our races, and we really do think
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 12: we have a shot. And it's such an important race,
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 12: and it's such a big area, the juvenile aspect and
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 12: the way that it's affecting our community is so important.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 12: And I really do believe in this race, and that's
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 12: why I'm doing it. And we need your help and
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 12: we need to help your listeners, and so we really
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 12: appreciate that. Go to the website, check it out, if
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 12: you want to volunteer, whatever you want to do, we
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 12: really appreciate it.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what, I'll take and make a pleasure
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: right now. I rarely donate to politicians, but I'm feeling
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: frisky and I'm going to donate to your campaign. At
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: the website looking for Juvenile Court dot com. Get the
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: help out, help her knockdoors, participate in the campaign. There's
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: a little get involved link. You can get involved, walk
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: the streets. And I think it will be really easy
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: to convince, because I believe in my heart of hearts,
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: based on everything I've heard from a variety of different
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: people living in a variety of different neighborhoods, The idea
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: that people don't want police around. The idea that people
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: think the police are inherently evil or wrong and they
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: represent some threat to society is a small fraction. People
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: want peace, calm and stability and law enforcement in their neighborhood.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: And I know you embrace the concept.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely. And who doesn't want to live in a
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 12: safe neighborhood. Who doesn't want to be safe in their home?
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: Amen? No one period. That's why I find it crazy
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: that this whole idea of getting rid of the police
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: is all the rage, at least in the last several years. Judge. Look,
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: and it's been great. Thank you so much. I wish
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: you all the best in your race as we approach November.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: You have an open spot here on the fifty five
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: Carsey Morning Show. Anytime you want to talk about the
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: campaign and the race.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 12: I appreciate it.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: Anytime. Keep up the great work.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 12: I appreciate it.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: We'll be praying for you for everyone in the city
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. The talk station seven fifty three are fifty
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: five carsdy talk station Congressmen or rather a center. Bernie
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: Rainer top of there, new has got an idea about
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: the illegal immigration going on. Also we're talking about him
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: his efforts maybe to propose saving social security subject matter
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: again with yesterday's Donald and neo Americans for prosperity. Not
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: thrilled with Americans for prosperity, but I at least got
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: to give the guy credit for bringing the subject up
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: and trying to do something about it. The vehicle to
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: do it, maybe not, but he'll be on to talk
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: about that. And also the birth tourism thing that we
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: have a real problem with here in the country. A
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: lot of Chinese Communist Party members taken advantage of birth
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: tourism and of course has now been entrined as affirmed
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: law under the Supreme Court decision from the other day.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: It's a reality we need to deal with on a
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: going forward basis. And speaking of Chinese Communist Party, I
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: saw this article and you folks who have gotten caught
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: up in this anti Artificial Intelligence Data Center's argument, you
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: were being really influenced by the likes of Neville Singham,
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: who is a known Marxist and linked to China in
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: big ways. Multi multi multi millionaire chucked in a lot
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: of money in the anti AI campaign trying to gin
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: up anti AI sentiment. Even though the reality is and
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: Sam Lyman, who authored the study that looked into all
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: this is studied by Bitcoin Policy Institute. You know, a
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: lot of people think that this is a choice between
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: AI or no AI. It's actually a choice between American
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: AI or Chinese AI. Who controls AI will control the
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: information layer of the global economy. And this is the
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: point I've been making all along. It's not going away.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: Water usage and sound and noise and all these things
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: that could be addressed and have been addressed. You reject
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: these things, it's gonna end up in the hands of
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party. They ultimately control it. And that's
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: the vehicle or that's the argument that this snebble Signam
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: is making through his money thrown at the anti AI campaign.
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: And the efforts against artificial intelligence have already resulted in
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: ten local moratory a one permanent ban, that one a
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: modern park California, four rejected or scrap projects, which include
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: a one billion proposed by Google for Indiana, twelve billion
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: dollar Blackstone Data Center Wisconsin gone because people think it's
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: gonna use the ba all the water. Yeah, And Lyman said,
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: you know, he has the same play for pretty much
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: every wedge issue in America referring to any divisive issue
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: which can be used to drive a wedge between groups
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: of people who divide him. That's everything, And this is
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: all again something I've been pointing out. Social media has
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: allowed the influence from outside nefarious actors to divide you
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 1: and to convince you that Trump is evil Orange man,
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: that you should hate your family members because they, I
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: don't know, embrace some Trump policy or like the man.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: This is all built up over time. AI. The next
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: one say no to the technology, keep it out of
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: the United States, and welcome to a CCP dominated AI.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine what your search results would look like
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: under that rule? Seven fifty six fifty five krsit detalk
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: Station and Bernie Moreno up next fall by Yes, Jay Ratliff,
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: It is Thursday, jail, come on at eight thirty celebrating

• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: I mean everyone has something really important and fun and
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: celebratory to do on Independence date coming up this weekend.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: Without further ado, I am pleased as I can be
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: to welcome to the fifty five Cascy Morning to Morning
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: show have Senator Bernie Moreno, and it's good to have
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: you back on. So it's been a while, and appreciate
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: your willing us to come on the show and talk today.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: Good to have you go ahead, Good to be on
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: your show, and thank you for having me.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 5: It's been a while, and look forward to the conversation.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: I do too. Can we start? I had Congressman Warren
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: Davidson on earlier to break them down where we are
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: and try to get the Save Act pass, something wildly popular.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: If you look at the polls, everyone feels no, there
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: is no issue getting a photo ID, and sure we
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: should try to maintain the integrity of the elections and
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: ensure it's accurate and keep people who are not lawfully
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: eligible to vote from voting in a federal election that
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: requires citizenship. Now one of the mechanisms to try to
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: get this through and I scratched my head over that's
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: going on in the Senate. That's why I'm glad you're
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: here to explain it. Merging the Save Act into the
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: National Defense Authorization Act. Now I know they're incompatible from
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: a subject matter, but I mean, isn't this what Congress
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: does all the time, but would it pass if that
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: was done? In other words, is the National Defense Authorization
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: Act important to enough Democrats that they'd ignore the Save
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: Act component and go ahead and vote for it, or
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: would they not vote for the NDAA simply because it
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: has something that everyone once built into it, i e.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: The Save Act.
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 5: Senator Marino Well sadly no that Democrats would not vote
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 5: for the NDAA of the Save America actors in there,
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 5: because they've actually absolutely hunkered down in this idea that
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 5: you shouldn't have to prove who you are and you
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 5: shouldn't have to prove your citizen to vote things that are,
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 5: by the way, popular with seventy percent of Democrats, ninety
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 5: percent of Republicans, of course, eighty percent of independence. So
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 5: they would just trip it for the bill or not
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 5: pass it at all. They've consistently forty seven out of
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 5: forty seven Democrats, we've put this to a vote five
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 5: or six times. Every single time we get fifty votes,
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 5: they get zero votes from Democrats. We need sixty, I think, Brian,
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 5: the answer is what we really need to do is
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 5: build up public pressure. I was down in Columbia, South America.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 5: I was asked to be an election observer. We're going
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 5: to have a hearing when we get back where we're
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 5: going to bring in the people from Colombia and also
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 5: bringing Gavin Newsom. In Colombia's single day election, all paper ballots,
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 5: proof of citizenship is required. You actually have to be
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 5: fingerprinted to get the ballot. The ballots are counted by hand,
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 5: and by the way, they deliver the election results within
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 5: an hour and have a higher participation rate than we
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 5: do in the US. So evidently Hispanics that Colombia can
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 5: find their voter ID, but when they get to the
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 5: United States they forget how to find their driver's license.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 5: So it's we got to build up the public pressure.
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 5: We're also going to introduce a bill to that is
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 5: actually a build Harry Reid introduced that talks about the
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 5: Immigration Normalization Act that does a lot of things, one
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 5: of which is clarifies that birthright citizenship is not intended
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 5: for illegals or people who come here just to have
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 5: a baby. It's a bill that Harry Reid proposed, and
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 5: I think what the end goal of all this is
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 5: to show that the Democrats of today do not resemble
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 5: the Democrats of the nineties. And the only choice we
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 5: really have as a Republican conference to actually save this
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 5: country is to get rid of the filibuster.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: And I think that's the only way.
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 5: And then we just get legislation done with fifty votes
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 5: fair enough.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: And can we not go with the regular for the
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: talking filibuster. You don't have to go nuclear and get
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: rid of the sixty vote requirement. You can just start
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: talking and hold out until the Democrats finally have to
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: capitulate because you only get two speeches on the floor. Yes,
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: it could go over a number of days, but you know,
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: let's go through the pain of that for a while
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: and hit the ground running with a fifty one vote
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: on the Save Act.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 5: I just re remembo about that too, Rex Scott, as
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 5: the chairman of the Steering Committee, which is a group
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 5: of Conservatives and the Senate, we would have to tweakttle
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 5: two rules number one and the men would have to
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 5: count as a speech because otherwise, every time they offered
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 5: an amendment, even if the amendment failed, the clocks the
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 5: shot clock starts over again. So there are a lot
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 5: of two speeches in the same legislative day, and we
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 5: can keep a legislative day going on forever, but every
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 5: time they submit an amendment, it would start over. So
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 5: this would be an infant love. So we have to
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 5: make it so an amendment counts as a speech and
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 5: restrict speeches to one hour before cloture, just like we
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 5: have now after culture. If we can do those tweaks,
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 5: those two tweaks, You're exactly right, we can. Instead of
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 5: voting to end debate, debate would end automatically once every
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 5: senator has spoken twice for no more than one hour,
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 5: and then we can call the question and we can
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 5: pass it with fifty votes. So that is the path
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 5: that I'm going to suggest to my colleagues is really
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 5: the only viable path. If we don't do that, Brian,
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 5: then the only choice we have is just to capitulate
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 5: and say the Democrats will just hold the country hostage.
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 5: And these are very popular things that get done. These
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 5: are these are not you know, coin cost things. These
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 5: are very popular things we will get done.
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the will of the people, as demonstrated by every
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: single poll has been taken on this. No one believes
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 1: this is somehow Jim Crow two point zero or somehow
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: disenfranchis everybody. And you mentioned the South American countries do everybody.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: I think every other country in the world except for
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: two requires a photo ID to vote. This is not
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: some crazy uh phenomenon that we're working on trying to
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: get here.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 5: No, this is not a right wing priority that you
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 5: know five percent of country wants. This is common sense
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 5: they give you. Ask most people. Now, people in Ohio
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 5: get confused. I get this from constituents all the time.
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 5: They're like, why are you pushing a bill that has
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 5: a voter ID. We already have that in Ohio, Yes
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 5: we do. But in eighteen states they do not have
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 5: any form of voter ID, and they have universal mail
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 5: and mail out ballots. So you could be living in
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 5: a place in California that maybe two or three people
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 5: lived in the past five or six years, and they
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 5: mail you just ballots unsole list. So one apartment where
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 5: one person lives will get six, seven, eight, nine ballots.
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 5: They can fill them out and return them. Nobody knows
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 5: who whether that is real, really the voter or By
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 5: the way, Bran, can you imagine you just walk up
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 5: to a polling place and say, hey, I'm here to vote. Oh,
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 5: here's your ballot. You don't have to show who you
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 5: are it's insane.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: It is, without question, all right pivoting over talk with
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: Americans for Prosperities Donovan and Neil the other day, based
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 1: upon your springing from your essay Bernie Marina and Elizabeth
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: Warren our plan to save Social Security. Odd that you
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: teamed up with Elizabeth Warren from the Democrats, not real
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: popular figure in a fifty five carcity Morning Show audience.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: But I understand I think your motive. If you present
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 1: a bipartisan potential solution to save Social Security which needs
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: to be saved, you're at least willing to step up
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: and grab a hold of the third whale and propose something. Now,
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: AFP rejects it as a proposition, which is get rid
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: of the payroll tax cap, so you continue to pay
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: them the Social Security be one hundred and eighty four
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: to five. But they mentioned the ripple effects small businesses,
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: for example, quite often operate has passed through entities, and
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 1: the number that they ran suggest that this is going
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: to result in too high taxation and will cost a
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 1: lot of jobs and shrink the economy. Your reaction, Bernie Marino, Well.
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 5: First and foremost, you're exactly right. This is an op ed,
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 5: not a bill for one simple reason. We have to
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 5: start the conversation. We have to be responsible and say, hey,
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 5: social Security is going to be in deep trouble in
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 5: five years.
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: Five years a blink of an.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 5: Eye at our age, unfortunately, and if we don't do
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 5: something now, we're going to have seniors that are going
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 5: to be in real trouble. I'm not going to allow
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 5: that to happen. So from my perspective, I'm willing to
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 5: take on the tough issues. So this is about starting
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 5: a conversation and respect to small businesses. Most small business
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 5: owners who actually employ people. As you know, there's a
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 5: lot of what's considered a small business that are self proprietors.
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 5: That's a totally different category that people actually employ people.
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 5: Most small business owners, like myself do not take very
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 5: high wages, so this really doesn't affect them because the
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 5: distributions of profit are not taxed for the socialecurity. That's
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 5: just a false flag. Look at the end of the day,
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 5: I think what we should do is take a look
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 5: at how we can make certain that Social Security is
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 5: there for the people who need it and count on it.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 5: It is a program that's been very effective. If there's
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 5: people out there who want to say that Social Security
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 5: should be eliminated or gone, let them campaign on that.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 5: That's not going to be me, So we figure out
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 5: processes to fix it. We can also look at lowering
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 5: rates overall and combating waste, fraud, abuses are Vice President
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 5: is doing. There's trillions of dollars in savings that can
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 5: come from that. So lower the overall rate of taxation
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 5: and at the same time do something to save Social
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 5: Security for the long run. And there's lots of other ideas,
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 5: but I'm not willing to disengage from a conversation. I
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 5: think it's important.
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: It is an important conversation. The numbers do not lie
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: in this particular case. They have been consistent. They kept
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 1: telling us when this thing was going to tap out,
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 1: when we're going to start dipping into principle. It's been
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: going on forever. It needs to be addressed. So how
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 1: about and here's a fun idea we have of fraud,
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: waste and abuses being revealed more and more every day.
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 1: Go directly after that, so the outlays are smaller, leaving
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: you with more money, maybe reducing the deficit spending, but
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 1: also how about cutting spending from government generally speaking, it's
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: gotten too big. It's unsustainable. Look at our national debt.
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 1: We spend too much.
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, if we just went back to twenty nineteen spending levels,
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 5: we'd be in great shape. I totally agree with you. Again,
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 5: the challenges goes back to the original conversation. We can't
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 5: do that and get Democrat support.
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 1: They just won't do it.
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 5: So we have to look at it and say, what
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 5: is it that we really want to do. Let's get
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 5: these things done now. By the way, the President has
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 5: done a lot of this already. We've reduced the federal
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 5: workforce head account by three hundred and fifty thousand people. Right,
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 5: that's an incredible accomplishment. But we can do so much
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 5: more legislatively. But we can't do it begging these lunatic
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 5: Democrats that are being elected at Brian. These are not
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 5: Harry Reid and Tip O'Neil and afk. These are radical
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 5: anti American anarchists, actually, people who want to destroy fundamentally
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 5: this country. You can't have a process that says, well,
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 5: you got to work with them and figure it out.
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 5: It doesn't work. That's an antiquated concept. So if we
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 5: can get rid of the philibuster. We can get a
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 5: lot of these things on safe social security, reduce spending
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 5: past the save America eyes actually have a sovereign situation
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 5: on our border where we decide who comes in into
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 5: what terms. Those are things we can do.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, I and I know you're out of time.
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: You got to run for other events. But Bernie Marino,
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: I heard you mentioned nuke getting rid of the philibuster.
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 1: Would you vote to nuke the filibuster that nuclear option
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 1: or get rid of the filibuster?
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 5: I talked about this a year ago. I was there first.
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 5: I'd say either my idea, which is tweaked these two
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 5: these two rules, or just get rid of it overall.
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 5: But we got to get things done.
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: Brian, fair enough. I like the tweaking part. That sounds
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: good and unobjectable because most people won't even notice it.
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: Congressman are sorry. Senator Bernie Marina, thank you so much
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: for spending time by listeners. I love coming up the
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: next segment. We're thoroughly enjoy my conversations with Jay. He's
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: a hell of a great guy. And of course it
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 1: was great talker with Tech Friday's Dave Hatter this morning
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: doing a Thursday edition of that. You really got to
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: pay attention and plan ahead. One of those things in
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 1: a major infrastructure will be will be hacked, lights will
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 1: go off. It seems to be inevitable. All the experts
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 1: are saying so because we don't pay enough tention to
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: preventing that. But in spite of all of our efforts,
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: not enough emphasis being placed on what do you do
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: after something like the electric grid gets hacked? You had
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 1: plans for that, And I drew an analogy, dude, like
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 1: having a plan to get out of your house if
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: the fire the house that catches on fire, Will it happen?
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: Probably not? Might it? Yeah, So think about it in advance.
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: Check that out fifty five KC dot com. Of course,
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 1: again my conversation with Congressman Warren Davidson. Comments there from
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: Susan Lucan running for a judge against running for judge
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 1: against Judge Bloom for juvenile Court. Judge Bloom seems to
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: be part of the problem and identified quite a few
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: of the problems we have. We have a city hall
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 1: that's woke and doesn't believe in law enforcement. We have
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: a low continue of police officers. Nobody wants to be
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 1: a cincinn police officer apparently wonder why that might be hmm,
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: if a prosecutor's office, it doesn't seem to be interested
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 1: in prosecuting crimes. I have multiple layers here, and isn't
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 1: it telling when you talk about cutting government and cutting
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 1: the size and scope of government with Bernie Moreno, you
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 1: run into the same challenge we all face right now.
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: Democrats don't want to do it.
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 1: If you're a homeowner, if you have a family budget,
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 1: X comes in and only X should go out. Now
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: we have credit cards covered a little bit more right,
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: you keep growing that credit card building. I know Man's plaining.
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 1: You run into a problem which maybe down the road
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: you can say, well, at least I can declare bankruptcy.
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: Rather than stopping the spending habits. You just run yourself
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: into a hole of ground, and then you get to
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 1: reset it. Now, of course, bankruptcy will be on your record,
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: it will ruin your credit score. But so many people
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: have climbed out from that and started over again. We
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: don't have that option. If you want to think about
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: an existential threat facing our country, it's the credit card bill.
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: The world not only benefits from our mighty economy, and
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 1: what we spend out. What we spend out and throw
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 1: out into the rest of the world as part of
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 1: the reason we find ourselves in a forty trillion dollar
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: hole with a one trillion plus dollar credit card bill
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 1: every month, interest only, no principle being paid down. It
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: is truly an existential threat because at some point people
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: are gonna quit buying bonds. They may choose to disengage
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: from the United States currency as a default currency for
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: the globe. You think that might have an economic ripple
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: effect on us. Someone's got to save us from ourselves.
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 1: And every time you keep going over to the polls
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: and voting for someone who's promising more stuff and things
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: in your pocket, you're part of the problem. I don't
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: care really here you will at some point unless you
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: get to be of a certain age where you think
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna to be able to I'll be dead before
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 1: this happens. The clock will run out on me before
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: the clock runs out on America's fiscal problem. But what
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 1: are you leaving for your children and your grandchildren and
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: your great grandchildren. What are you leaving by way of
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: future for America that has been so wildly successful for
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty years, so much so that we
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: relied on this massive economy and our abundance and our
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 1: ability to make money and build new things that people
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 1: around the globe want. If that's not gonna happen again,
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna have another one hundred years led or
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: even fifty years. Maybe because you kept spending more and more,
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: because that economy has roared along so long, you thought,
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 1: no problem, we'll be able to pay it off. Like
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 1: someone who has a family budget, keep racking the credit
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 1: card bill up, thinking no problem, I'm gonna get a
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 1: raise next year. Can you count on that anyway? Something
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: to think of, something to think of. I worry, and
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 1: I think it's okay for to worry about it. Walk
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: station A twenty nine if if you have CASD talk station,
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm sliding into home with a big
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 1: grin on my face, having scored a run because we
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: get it. This time of the week. I heart meet
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: the aviation expert Jay Ratliff, Jay, welcome back man. It's
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 1: great to close the week out for me going on Vaca.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 1: Got a vacation day because of iHeart tomorrow, but finishing
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: out the week with you because I always love talking
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 1: with you. Man, you bring some great subject matter and
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: it's it's a lighter topic too, aviation.
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 5: We can have some fun with it.
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 13: Absolutely, And yeah, on the eve of our nation's birthday,
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 13: the big one. Yeah, I think it's it's extraordinary. So
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 13: I think this little experiment they started two hundred and
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 13: fifty years ago has a shot it.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: Well, it does, as long as we don't kill ourselves
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 1: with stupidity. Jay and I don't. I'm with you, brother,
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: Don't go there. Don't go there, because we're gonna have
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 1: some fun. What the hell is shark technology?
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 13: Shark technology is something that started with scientists for a
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 13: number of decades studying the movements of sharks through the water,
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 13: and they thought, you know, the way that they kind
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 13: of glide, they are able to reduce the drag as
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 13: they moved through the water. Wouldn't it be really neat
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 13: if we could find a way to make that happen
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 13: with aircraft. So a number of years ago a company
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 13: came out with this shark technology. It's an Australian aerospace company,
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 13: and they've developed a microscopic textile, a little texture that
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 13: you can actually put these microscopic riplets, as they call them,
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 13: on certain parts of the aircraft to increase their aerodynamic capability.
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 13: Lu Fonsas started this number of years ago where this
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 13: thin sheath, if you will, very light weight covering goes
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 13: over the parts of the wing as well as the
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 13: vertical stabilizer, and they found they could save about about
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 13: a person percent off of or cut the drag by
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 13: one percent. That ended up on a larger scale helping
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 13: the airlines on these long flights save as much as
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 13: four hundred tons of fuel. Oh wow, Obviously that adds
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 13: up quick. So now we're seeing a lot of other airlines,
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 13: especially as fuel prices have been at least of late
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 13: going up, and we're seeing other airlines like Delta being
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 13: one of the first in the United States to kind
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 13: of invest in this technology, trying to see if hey,
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 13: can we use this as well, because look, if you
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 13: can convince the airlines there's a way to save money
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 13: on fuel, which is their second biggest cost, which is
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 13: roughly thirty some percent of their bottom line, they're going
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 13: to listen. The only issue was if this technology was
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 13: going to weigh so much that you would you kind
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 13: of be not saving much because of the additional fuel
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 13: you'd have to take on board to carry it on
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 13: the outside of the aircraft. Yeah, but ran the early
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 13: indications are very promising. So I think we're going to
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 13: be hearing more and more about this shark technology that's
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 13: being used and has been for a number of years,
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 13: but it's becoming much more mainstream in the industry. We'll
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 13: see where it goes.
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: Is it costly, I'm sorry incorporating the shark technology. Is
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 1: it costly?
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 13: Not so much that the airlines aren't willing to look
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 13: into it. It's a lot like the electric vehicles that research.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 13: We see airlines spending tens of millions of dollars in
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 13: research there convinced that you know, they're not going to
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 13: be able to use it as a long haul flight,
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 13: but can I shuttle people in a big city from
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 13: the surrounding areas to the airport making it easier for them.
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 13: We also see the same sort of technology on the
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 13: sustained aviation fuels. You and I talk about the sas
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 13: where they try to make fuel from vegetable oil and
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 13: other types of renewable products. They can do that, They've
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 13: done a successfully, They've had flights on it commercially, but
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 13: the cost is just too high. So until you reach
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 13: that point that it's cost attractive for the airlines and
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 13: I both know they're not going to do it, but
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 13: if they can grab something that saves them some money
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 13: and make them more money, yeah, I mean, I'm not
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 13: exactly holding my breath waiting for these savings to be
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 13: passed down.
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 1: To us, but yeah, well, at least the bottom line
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 1: might be improved, and therefore the share price will go up.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: And if people are invested in the technolo, if people
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 1: invested in the airlines to adopt that, maybe their shares
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 1: will go off.
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 13: That's one way of Delton United just tit I think
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 13: all time highs so wow, which said, well, you know
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 13: they're charging a lot for the summer because they jack fares.
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 13: Fuel prices are dropping. They've been asked if they're going
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 13: to lower fares, ha, Nope, They're going to let the
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 13: demand for travel dictate it, which is their way of saying, heck, no,
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 13: we're not going to lower fares. So yeah, they're going
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 13: to be reaping the benefits if fuel prices continue to
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 13: drop of making more money than ever because they jacked
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 13: the fares. They had to, of course because a fuel
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 13: and now that the fuel prices are dropping. Yeah, it's
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 13: like that temporary tax in DC we talk about all
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 13: the time.
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just temporary, just temporary.
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 5: It's not great.
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, ANDIE have like a temporary protected status permanent.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: That's what temporary means, permanent anyway, pivoting over, got one in.
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 1: We got a what's the problem with taking a guitar
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 1: on a flight? We'll get this one in before we
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 1: take a break.
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 13: Yeah, there's a passer on south West flight shows up.
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 13: She flies all the time, she's a professional musician, has
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 13: her guitar, and she approached the gate and the gate
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 13: agent said, you can't carry that on board, and she says, well,
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 13: I have to and I can't check it. They said, no,
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 13: you have to. And there was this dispute that got
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 13: going between this musician, who the videos show her is
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 13: rather calm, and the gate agent was a little bit testy,
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 13: saying you should be ashamed of yourself. She said, wait,
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 13: I've done this repeatedly, many many times on Southwest, never
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 13: had a problem, And the issue was she was not
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 13: able to get on the flight. The guy called the
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 13: police owner wanting her to be arrested, and the police
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 13: are there, kind of talking to her like, well, there's
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 13: nothing here, but she misses her flight, she has to
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 13: catch her later. And the kicker is, if you go
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 13: to the Southwest Airlines website, Brian, it says, if you're
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 13: a musician, you can carry your bag with you as
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 13: long as there's available space in the overage storage compartment,
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 13: which there was apparently. And it was just a situation
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 13: where this agent I don't know was picking a fight
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 13: or what have you, but it.
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 7: Will was an issue.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 13: There was one land Fling United a number of years
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 13: ago that had the same scenario. They forced him to
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 13: give up his very expensive guitar. He checked it at
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 13: the gate, they destroyed it. So he wrote a song
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 13: called United Breaks Guitars. The last I checked it had
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 13: like forty eight million views, So yeah, if you want
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 13: to chuckle, he threw a bunch of names in there.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 13: But United Breaks Guitars is a great short video that
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 13: pokes a lot of needed fun at the airlines.
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 5: I love it.
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize the guitar could sit in an overhead
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 1: storage bend. Maybe it was a ukulele or something.
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 13: Some of the bins are large enough, and you know
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 13: they're normally not that thick. It's going to take the
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 13: bulk of the overhead storage compartment. But look, I've seen
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 13: people that have reserved the seat next to them so
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 13: that they can simply have it next to this if
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 13: they've got a violin, sallow things like that, because there's
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 13: no way they can if they're in an orchestra, professional musician,
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 13: what have you. They're ever going to turn that over
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 13: to anybody. No, that's their baby.
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 1: I'm reluctant to turn bags over the baggage handlers. They
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 1: know nothing valuable or sentimental or anything along those lines.
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 1: Plus pausible.
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 13: When we come back, I can give you a baggage
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 13: horror story you won't believe.
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, it's not, but I'll throw it in anyway. One
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 1: one extra baggage storage story. And idiots flying business jets
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 1: and other crazy near MISSUS airports. They'll go away. We'll
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 1: be right back with Jay fifty five the talk station.
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: The talk station. Have you ever been in the cockpit before?
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 1: Jay Ratliff has he is? iHeartMedia eight h nextpert you
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to talk with Jay every Thursday here in
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 1: the fifty five KC Morning Show, and you can hear
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 1: him elsewhere on the iHeartMedia radio stations. He's literally everywhere.
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 1: He's nationwide, and he has another fun story about baggage
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 1: storage bins. Jay Ratliff, springing from the last one, what's
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 1: this all about?
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 13: Orlando? We have an international series of flights coming in
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 13: a lot of these people are having big time issues
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 13: with weather in Europe. Three Virgin American flights come in
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 13: at Virgin Atlantic flights come in to land in Orlando,
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 13: and to get through customs, you have to have your luggage.
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 13: So the passengers came in late at night. After multiple delays,
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 13: they finally get there bright. It took them five hours
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 13: to get the passengers their bags so they could begin
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 13: then to proceed through customs and immigrations. Coming in the
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 13: United States. They had issues with all kinds of issues
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 13: in Orlando. And if you will, a perfect storm with
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 13: everything that was going on, And I mean, can you
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 13: imagine you're already exhausted after being delayed multiple times in Europe.
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 13: You finally get your international flight to the United States.
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 13: You're in Orlando. You're ready to step into the great
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 13: country of the United States, only to have a five
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 13: hour delay because you can't proceed until you get your luggage,
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 13: and it took that long to get all those people
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 13: their luggage. Yeah, I think they have a bad day
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 13: add up those hours.
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a law long time for those people.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 1: That's kind of thing I can't abide, which is why
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 1: you know, I like to drive when I can. I'm
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 1: in charge of the baggage and there's nobody impeding me
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 1: other than maybe traffic. But you know what, I can
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 1: pull over and get a cup of coffee or something.
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 1: You can't do it on an airplane either. Anyway, moving
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 1: over to well, a business jet apparently almost causing a
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 1: serious problem in Miami.
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 13: Yeah, we had the American Airlines jet in Miami cleared
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 13: for take off. They begin their role. They are about
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 13: sixty miles an hour. They've got to get to let's
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 13: say one hundred and fifty hundred and sixty for rotation
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 13: speed to leave the ground. So they've just kind of
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 13: begun their run. A business jet was on the ground
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 13: coming in with instructions from air traffic control to hold
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 13: short of that active runway, giving priority for the American departure.
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 13: For some reason, this business jet pilot misinterpreted his instructions
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 13: turned onto the active runway, so what happens now is
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 13: you've got this jet in the way of this departing
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 13: American Airlines flight. Thankfully, the American crew spotted it immediately
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 13: boarded their takeoff. They were able to stop in plenty
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 13: of time. Air traffic controllers going nuts on the guy
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 13: and the jest saying, what are you doing? We told
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 13: you old short and he just said, I thought my
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 13: instructions were otherwise. So you'll get in trouble with the FAA.
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 13: There'll be an inspection. We'll try to figure out what
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 13: happened and try to reduce the likelihood of this. But
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 13: you know, pilot air is something that happens a lot.
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 13: And we had the situation in Vegas where we had
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 13: two airplanes, one cleared to take off, one clear to land,
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 13: and they were going to be occupying the same spot
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 13: at the same time as well, and the Delta flight
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 13: coming in noticed the departing American flight. They deviated off,
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 13: went around before air traffic control even could realize what
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 13: was going on. Okay, their investigation will continue. And probably
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 13: the most frequently asked question I get on all of
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 13: this is are we just hearing more of this now
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 13: or are these actually more than the norm, right, and
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 13: I would say that it's probably a little bit more
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 13: than the norm. But the scariest part is, excuse me.
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 13: The head of the International Air Transport Association IYADA, who
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 13: kind of helps oversee represent three hundreds of airlines around
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 13: the world, says that the near misses that are being
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 13: reported are a small number of the actual ones that
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 13: take place. And his point was, look, we have the
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 13: technology to put at airports, to put in the cockpit
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 13: to try to help reduce the number of these these
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 13: types of situations. But I don't care how much technology
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 13: you've got in airports, in the air traffic control tower,
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 13: in the cockpit. If you we're still you know, susceptible
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 13: to human air that happens then sadly, when it happens
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 13: in a situation like that, it can cost lives. So fortunately,
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 13: right now, none of these things have involved a disaster.
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 13: But you know, in fact, the head of the IADA
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 13: group said that had we have the technology that we
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 13: needed that's been available for a number of years, he
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 13: cites that the DC crash between helicopter and the American
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 13: Airlines jet wouldn't have happened. Now, there's no way to
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 13: really prove that obviously, But the point is, wouldn't it
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 13: have been nice to have had that in place maybe
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 13: to give the helicopter crew and all the passengers on
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 13: board that American flight a chance. So again, it just
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 13: comes down to the technology is there, and it's always
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 13: a slow implementation. And sadly, the National Transportation Safety Board,
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 13: at the conclusion of every investigation that they'll spend eight,
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 13: ten to twelve months on Brian, they'll give the FAA
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 13: a list of recommendations on things that they make to
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 13: help make things safer. This is what we learn, this
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 13: is how to improve aviation blah blah blah, And only
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 13: a small percentage if any of those are ever put
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 13: into place, sadly because of a money cost. And yeah,
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 13: so it's the NTSB, I've got the highest regards for.
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 13: Too often they're just kind of ignored.
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 1: Well, the money costs usually end up with the lab
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 1: of the consumer. And I don't know that I necessarily
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 1: as a consumer, would be too bothered by having to
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 1: pay a little bit more for a flight. If it's
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 1: going to guarantee a larger amount of safety.
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 13: J Well, you know they there, you go, you give
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 13: them an idea they're gonna have a safety tax now,
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 13: a safety They've got fourteen different taxes at the end
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 13: of every ticket. And you know, if they charge us
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 13: five bucks a ticket, which we would be willing to pay,
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 13: what thirty eight cents of that whatever?
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 1: Make it to where it was go I do? You're right,
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 1: you're right, I'll withdraw my David. Let's continue. Drones they're
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 1: flying around airports. That sucks, but we also have it
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 1: looks like a positive story. To end the segment on
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 1: with a soldier card. Jay is going to talk about
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 1: that just a second. Don'tk away fifty five krc dot com.
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 1: If you run a business and need to get your
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 1: message to your next customers eight forty eighty forty nine
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 1: to fifty five ktsit detalkx station in one more time,
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 1: another segment. Anyway, I heard needy aviation expert Jay Rattler.
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 1: I've kind a couple of stories here involving drones. This
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 1: is becoming more and more of a problem. People flying
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 1: drones around airports. That is not lawful, right, Jay, Hopefully
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 1: it's not.
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 13: It's restricted airspace, supposed to keep them five hundred feet
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 13: in under line of sight. Blah blah, blah, whole bunch
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 13: of rules that operators are supposed to abide by, and sadly,
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 13: in both Newark and at Kennedy, we had situations where
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 13: drones were involved in flying around this restricted airspace. Going
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 13: into Newark, he had a unineted Airlines flight that reported
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 13: one is the highest two thousand feet and yeah, and
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 13: they didn't impact anything, but it was there shouldn't have been.
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 13: So they're trying to find out what was going on
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 13: there and who was flying it. And yet Jet Blue
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 13: flight coming into Kennedy that actually hit a drone, So
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 13: you understand that we were worried about birds, and birds
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 13: weigh whatever they weigh, drones thirty thirty five to forty
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 13: pounds on. Some of these bad boys can cause some
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 13: serious damage, obviously to an aircraft at a critical moment
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 13: of flight. So I guess I'm surprised, Brian, in the
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 13: number of drones that we've had over the years the
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 13: UN not talk more about this. I really thought when
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 13: these things fired up, we would be having a This
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 13: Week in Drones segment just based on what was going
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 13: to be taking place, but it's it's not been the
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 13: story over the last several years now Look, there've been
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 13: activists in Europe around the London's Heathrow Airport that have
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 13: used drones to disrupt air traffic, where they will bring
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 13: in dozens and dozens and dozens of drones so much
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 13: in fact, they can't safely operate aircraft. It shuts the
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 13: airport down. And it's been shut down for eight, nine,
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 13: ten hours at a time, so it's happened before. So
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 13: that's one of the things you look at.
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, that's terrible, and you know it as easy.
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, if I had enough money, I'd go on
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 1: to Amazon right now and buy a thousand of them, you.
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 13: Know, and the technology is increasing significantly, and you know,
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 13: they still get to you know, drop my pizza, you know,
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 13: my lane in my driveway. But we're moving in that direction.
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 13: And as quickly as this is ongoing, I tell you,
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 13: it's it's going to really be a further issue for
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 13: the Airtraft, for the Federal Aviation Administration because of what
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 13: they've got going on, because they're going to have to
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 13: help continue the oversight of all this, and they're overseeing
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 13: commercial airlines, they're overseeing private airlines, they're seeing overseeing helping
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 13: on the military side. Of things as they intersect. You've
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 13: got all the medical emergency flights you have. Oh yeah,
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 13: now we have to get get involved in monitoring and
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 13: sitching with space exploration and launches.
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 7: Has it.
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 13: So the FAA's got I mean, their plate is full
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 13: and running over. And the idea of the drones, Yeah,
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 13: they were kind of late to the party on it.
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 13: They're a little bit where they need to be. They've
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 13: had people register those drones and do things so that
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 13: in the event a drone does get hit and you
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 13: can find the registration number, you know who to throw
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 13: in jail. But you know, from a terrast standpoint, obviously
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 13: there are some concerns.
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 1: Terror standpoint is obviously what was going on in the
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 1: back of my mind, simple, inexpensive and potentially devastating. Okay,
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 1: Alaska lines unveiling a fallen soldier cart Jay, Yeah, the
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 1: uh they have.
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 13: A anytime that there's a soldier that that comes in
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 13: that's deceased, killed in action, or they're transporting remains. They
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 13: have in Cincinnati that Delta's got a cart that's only
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 13: used and it's painted in military colors with US flag
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 13: that's used for the when those remains arrive or when
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 13: they're being sent out. So in Salt Lake City, a
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 13: Last Airlines now has one of these carts, and it's
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 13: it's great to see. I'm embarrassed to see not every
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 13: airport has one, because they should because there's always a
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 13: ceremony involved with the arrival of the human remains of
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 13: a fallen soldier. It's a very emotional moment. A lot
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 13: of times the captain will to ask people on board
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 13: the plane to please remain seated until those remains are
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 13: removed from the aircraft. Occasionally you've got idiots who have
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 13: issues with it, but most people are are are very
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 13: respectful and they understand that may family, certainly, the military
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 13: escort on board the flight, and yeah, but having that
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 13: those carts that are never used for luggage, never used
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 13: for baggage or cargo, only to receive the remains of
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 13: the fallen soldier. You hope it's never used, but when
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 13: it is, it really adds a touch of respect.
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 1: Respect amen, and they're well, they're deserving that respect. As
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 1: we always dot. Let's finish up on hub delays. What's
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 1: it like to travel? I think a lot of travel
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 1: going on is a holiday weekend.
• 2:13:30
  Speaker 13: Yeah, we've got issues right now with up near Minneapolis,
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 13: but it's kind of south of Minneapolis. It's north of Chicago.
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 13: If it stays out of the way, we're gonna have
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 13: a really good day to fly. So it's gonna be hot.
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 13: Other than that, no, it looks like today it could
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 13: be just a beautiful day to take to the skies,
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 13: take to the roads, or whatever might happen.
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 1: To be well, if you gotta fly. Certainly ending on
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 1: some positive note there, Jay Ratliff, hope you have a
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 1: fabulous Independence Day you in your better half, and look
• 2:13:56
