  Speaker 1: Hartford Seniors. Patty Scott looking out for the well-being of

  Speaker 1: seniors with new technology. She's going to unveil some new
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: technology they have at 7.30 here on the 55 KRC
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Morning Show. Good morning, Patty. She'll be in studio to
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: talk about that. What an amazing organization. They're the ones
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: that came up with the technology to deal with incontinence
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: for folks like struggling with Alzheimer's and assisted living facilities
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: where there are insufficient numbers of bodies of human beings
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: taking care of your loved ones. That is, I am so,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: how they find people to work in those facilities is
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: just beyond my, my understanding. And I don't want to
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: cast dispersions on workers in these facilities because God love
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: you to every one of you, but you know, your
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: job is going to, here, here you go. What does
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: my job entail? Said an applicant for work there. Well,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you're going to be cleaning up feces and urine from
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: people who are incontinent every single hour of every single day.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Oh, really?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: How much am I going to get paid for that?
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: But Patty Scott and folks at Hearts for Seniors have
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: figured workarounds, and it's all for the betterment of your
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: seniors and improvement of their living conditions wherever they happen
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to be, including in the home. It's real exciting technological stuff.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: That is 7.30. Jay Ratliff. I heard media aviation expert
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Jay Ratliff always close a shot on a Friday evening
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: with Jay. We've got lots to talk about today, plenty
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: of stories, including just this morning. There was an article
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: that was published yesterday in, of course, the Wall Street Journal.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Talking about rogue pilots. This is the headline. Rogue pilots
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: have become one of the biggest threats to airline safety.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Pilots that want to kill you. They say at least
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: 800 people worldwide have died since 2005 in airline crashes
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that have been suspected by our officials or confirmed to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: be intentionally caused by pilots. You know, there's a lot
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: of bat crap and sane people out in the world.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: You know, put one behind the stick of an airplane. Yeah.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: A little 9-11 or maybe just fly it into a
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: mountain like happened. Yeah. Anyway, flying has increased 37% over
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the past 20 years. Yet the number of commercial aviation
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: fatalities between 2005 and 2025 dropped by 35%. So we're
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: going in the right direction now. You've got to find
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the loonies and keep them from, well, piloting aircraft. Loonies.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Religious fundamentalists, too.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: Sorry.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Not all of them, I guess. But it does provide
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: a motive. Anyway, Blink's this weekend, huge festival. This is
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: going to be a great time for the folks, and
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I hope you have a great time. We went one
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: year and really enjoyed it, my wife and I and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the kids. Going back quite some time, though, the 2024
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Blink Festival, 2 million people were there among the various days.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: So collectively, I guess they determined that 2 million people
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: were able to experience the Blink event. It's really neat.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Then they've got it broken up into zones this year.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: And I strongly encourage you, if you're planning on going,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: if you're planning on being around downtown Cincinnati, check out
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the road closure information because a lot of them are
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: going to be closed. In fact, it starts today. And
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the earliest closure, let's see, I think starts at 4 p.m.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Central Parkway, Magnolia Street, 15th Street, Odeon Street, Wade Street.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Those are the ones on the list for today anyway.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: So beginning at 4 p.m. and lasting through 9.30 p.m.,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: there will be some road closures. So you've been forewarned.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: So check out which roads are going to be closed
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: before you head on down. So the various zones, you
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: start at Finley Market. And as you go down south,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: you've got Finley Market Zone, OTR Zone, Fountain Zone, the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Banks Zone. There we are at the river. And then finally,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: over in my friends in Covington. The Covington Zone, each
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: one has its own unique things. There are maps out
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: there to show you where you need to be and
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: what specifically you're going to be experiencing when you're walking by.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Opening ceremony is today between 4 and 9 p.m. on
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Central Parkway between Liberty and 14th in front of the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: TQL Stadium. So that's a place to be. It's called Ready, Set, Blink.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: They say it's going to include interactive installations, live performances,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: hands-on creative experiences, and even an opportunity for you to
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: create And wear your own light art. Here's the important part.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Multiple bars and food trucks all lined up and down
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Central Parkway.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Yay.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: DJs, music, free concerts, drone shows. Oh, these things are
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: so wild. Amazed at the drone shows that they do
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: these days. And frightening. Yeah, it doesn't take much imagination
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to go, if they can do that with all these
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: thousands of drones here in this festival environment, I wonder
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: what they can do militarily.
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Anyway, the Dementias of Wonder drone show is going to
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: be taking place over the Ohio River on Friday and Saturday,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday. There's also an
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Asian Natty Night Market where you can get Asian cuisine,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: which I absolutely love. So, again, do your homework before
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you head on down and enjoy it. It should be
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Remember, strength in numbers. I do
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: not personally, if I was a betting man, Bobby, you're
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: out there, you want to do an over and under,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: that's fine. But if I was a betting man, I
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: would say, Probably not a whole lot of crime going
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: on in the blink event. I am certain there will
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: be many officers on patrol. And the only thing I'm
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: going to counter that by is if you're not in
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: that central business area, the whole blink zones, any of
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: those areas where I do believe the numbers of people
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: will prevent you from dealing with any harm. What about
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: all the other neighborhoods in the city of Cincinnati who
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: will not have as many police officers available because they're
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: all working blink? So stay frosty out there. Keep your
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: head on a swivel. And let me just get this
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: out of my system. I was appalled, sickened, shocked. So
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: was my wife. Watching this body cam footage from a
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: police officer of the six-year-old who shot his teacher in
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: a classroom. It happened at Richnick Elementary School in Newport
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: back in January, back January 6, 2023. So, going back
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: a couple of years, you may remember the specific shooting.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, how many six-year-olds are packing heat and shooting
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: their teachers? So, there's video of it. There's this punk kid,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: and I feel sorry for him. Officer Brian Torres, cameras,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: walking into the room, recording a reading specialist, Amy Kovac,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the teacher, holding this boy and she's got her arms
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: wrapped around him described by some as a bear hug
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: but on her lap and she's just holding him and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the kid at one point shot out a shot he
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: stole his mom's nine millimeter he even said it out
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: loud to the cop my mom had that i stole
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that from my mom and let me tell you this
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: kid is a punk in terms of that his attitude
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: at six years old this is what's so damn horrific
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: about it said he didn't care if he went to
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: jail he taunted the police officer Saying, among other things,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: including a whole pile of F-bombs and other expletives, if
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: you want a piece of me, come and get it on, B-word.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I don't care if you call back up. I don't
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: care if I go to jail, B-word. That's a six-year-old
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: screaming at a cop. Mrs. Kovac, and I struggled to know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and you're a teacher out there, what do you do
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: in these circumstances? This kid is telling her to F off.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: She tries to verbally discipline this kid. And that's not
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the kind of language you use that Mrs. Kovacs, not
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: happy with that. The reply basically F U B word,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: a six-year-old to his teacher. And this kid is not
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: pulling any punches, man. He is out loud.
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: Bold.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Doesn't seem to care. A wit obviously doesn't care about
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: going to jail and screaming at the cops. but what
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: does a teacher do in these circumstances she just just
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: is kind of kid glubby with him you know we
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: just don't like that and then just lets him continue
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: i mean you know in a parental environment in the
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: family home man i would have gotten smacked into the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: next year which is exactly the way i felt about
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: this kid when he was dropping all these f-bombs at
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: his teacher but This is the kind of thing I imagine,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: maybe not on this level or this scale, but if
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: you're a public teacher and you've got a whole lot
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: of unruly kids in your class, how in God's name,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: if they're doing this every single day, could you ever
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: hope to get someone educated? And what about all the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: other kids in the room who don't behave like this?
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the boy admitted he had the gun as i read
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: that statement before and it's over there whore is what
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: he said to the police pointing to where the gun
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: was across the room mrs kovac Stop. That's not how
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: we speak to each other. His reply, the six-year-old, F-U, F-U, F-U, B-word. Also,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: she previously testified, because remember this is going back a
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: few years, the boy had punched her and knocked her
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: glasses off. What do you do about that as a teacher? Now,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: get a load of this timeline. I'm reading from the
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: red state's report on this. Administrators had been warned earlier
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: in the day of this incident that a student had
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: a gun, including a report that it might be in
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: his pocket. Here you go.
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: 1115 a.m.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: The teacher who got shot told school authorities the boy
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: had threatened to beat up another student and nothing was done.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Hour later, second teacher said she had searched his bag
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: and feared that a gun was in his pocket. The
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: administrator brushed it off with the line, quote, well, he
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: has little pockets, close quote. Fast forward to 1 p.m.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: A third teacher reported another student was crying after the
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: boy showed him the gun and threatened him if he told.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Staffer who offered to search the boy, ready? The staffer
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: offered to search the boy was told to wait because
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the school day was almost over. The teacher later sued
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the district because of the warnings that were ignored. A
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: jury awarded her $ 10 million. $ 10 million. Who's educating your children?
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Former assistant principal Ebony Parker was originally charged with eight
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: felony counts of child neglect, but the judge determined that, well,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: you had to dismiss all those. Her interaction or inaction, rather,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: was not a crime under Virginia law. So maybe the
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: authorities in Virginia need to create a law on that one.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: The mom, also charged, she bought the 9mm gun. And
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: in the morning, the boy took it from her purse
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: that was sitting on her dresser, put it in his backpack,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: and then again, of course, the rest is known. She
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: got 21 months for lying on the gun purchase form
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and for possessing a firearm as a marijuana user. Wonderful
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: home life there, huh? Multiply that by multiples. Multiply it
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: by multiples. And imagine yourself in a classroom. Let's just
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: say 5% in that classroom have behavior and problems like
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: this kid. I still think it would be an insurmountable challenge.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: At least when I was a kid and I spoke
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: out in class, I obviously didn't cuss. That would have
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: incurred my dad's wrath. And you didn't want to do that.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: But I had some respect for authority figures. And concerns
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: over maybe me getting punished were enough to get me
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: to shut the hell up.
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: 517.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: It's just so sad. 55K RCV Talk Station. Good morning, Maureen,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: who has let me know that she's concluded that kid
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: was possessed demonically. She believes in demonic possession, which she
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: asserts is real. I saw the video. She said, this
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: is a spiritual battle. Well, I said, if it's ever
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: a case to be made, that's the one. And to
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the extent you find it, it's easy to find six-year-old
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: body cam video of shooting or something. Your search terms
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: have to be really rudimentary and you'll run into the video.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I recommend you watch it. It's a real eye-opener. Scary, frightening,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: but this is going on in this world. And again,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I can only imagine. Can we have some cameras in classrooms, please?
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Don't you think it's a good idea? I'm no fan
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: of the Orwellians in our state, but you know what?
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: As a parent these days, if I knew that that
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: kind of crap was going on in my kid's classroom,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: pull them out of school. I want to be able
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: to see what's going on in the classroom each and
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: every day as a parent. Yeah, but what about people
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: who would hack in? Yeah, what about people who hack
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: in literally everything every single day? Put some security measures
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: in place. Give some people reasonable assurance. But who would
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: stand in the way of having cameras in classrooms? As
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I stared at an article about Randy Weingarten of the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: teachers union picketing in front of an ICE detention facility.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Stay in your lane, Randy. Something tells me the teachers
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: would probably object to that. All right, well, and good
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: morning to everybody who made the list for lunch. I
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: forgot to mention that at the top of the hour.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Terrific time. Thanks to everybody at Jim and Jack's. We
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: had a really nice turnout yesterday, and I lost to Mike. Mike,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: good morning, my submariner friend. Congratulations. Six-point victory. Anyway, fantastic
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: seeing everyone. Here's some good news, though. Yesterday, 70 million
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: United States children have now been enrolled on the tax
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: advantage investment accounts, the Trump accounts. Treasury Department has created
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: automatic enrollment. Milliken Institute did some number crunching on this.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: $ 1, 000 accounts could grow on average to $ 8, 000 after 20
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: years and after 40 years could be up to $ 69, 000.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: That's if you just don't touch them. Let the beauty
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: of compounding interest work its magic. However, if you have
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: friends and relatives and others who want to contribute to those,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: it could grow by huge amounts. White House for itself
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: estimates using average stock market returns over time, the values
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: of these accounts could exceed $ 1 million if parents maximize
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: their contributions by the time the child turns 28. So
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: it's a great thing to do. I don't like the
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: idea of handing out money. I don't know where this
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: money necessarily came from. I don't know if this is
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: a deficit-creating thing. But what I do know is if
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: you have one of these accounts, just the idea of it,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and you know it's there, And from time to time,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: you're going to get a report showing you, oh, look,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: it's got more in it now because the market has
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: gone up and because I got compounding interest. There's a
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: little incentive to maybe throw some more at it.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: If I can make X over one year, if I
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: put more money in, that would be, yeah, a lot more.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: So mom, dad, grandparents, philanthropists give to these accounts and
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: they've already started to do that. I think it was
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the Gates Foundation or the Dells. One of those evil
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: billionaires throwing $ 250 million divided among these accounts. The Trump
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: accounts can receive up to $ 5, 000 in contributions every year.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: The child's name is on the account, but it's managed
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: by the parents or guardian until that child turns 18.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: We'll see if you trust them with the cash when
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: they're 18, but you'll have no say over it. They're
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: an adult at that point in time. That's the way
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: they're set up. Uh, parents, you have to download the
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: official Trump account on Android or iOS, verify the identities,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: confirm the relationship, go through the process because if you
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: don't do that, you can't control it and nobody can
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: be able to add to it. Parents or guardians have
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: to claim the child's account to manage it and establish
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: contributions or rather enable contributions for relatives, friends, and employers.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Only accounts that are claimed will receive the $ 1, 000 seed deposit.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: So this is a great time to get on it.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Who qualifies? Children born between January 1st, 2025 and December 31st, 2028.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Narrow window, but those are the eligible folks. If that's
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: your wheelhouse, then get on, find the app, set it up,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: and let your relatives know about it. Yeah, Susan and
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Michael Dell are the ones that committed $ 250 million to
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: the $ 25 million accounts. Those deposits are planned by the
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: end of the week, which means if you'd like a
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: slice of the Dell evil billionaire money, you better establish
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the account. So there you go. 525 at 55KRC Detoxation.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: It is 529 Friday Eve and a happy one to you. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: pound 550 on AT & T phone. Yes, I saw
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: that article too, Maureen. Yeah, there was an Iowa City
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Council meeting where they had an invocation where they, well,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: I guess it was like pledging loyalty to Satan or
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: something along those lines. What the hell? Iowa City Council
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: meeting erupts after former member opens meeting with satanic prayer
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: and hail Satan. Embrace the Luciferian impulse to eat from
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: the tree of knowledge.
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Some folks not very happy about it. And I don't
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: know whether they're really truly Satanists in that particular case,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: but some people do this to make a point. We
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be using any particular faith when opening up a meeting, invocation.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Quite often, as I've always experienced, it involves Christian, maybe
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: references to Jesus, or at least Christianity. So there are
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of people out there that hate that, and
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: they hate Christians and don't like the idea that a
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: meeting is going to be open with a prayer. So
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: what do they do? They say, well, if you get
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: to do it, then I get to do it. This
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: is like the public spaces where you have a critch
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: at Christmastime, and then someone comes up with their graven
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: image of Lucifer that they want to put there because,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: You can't have a monopoly in a public space. I
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: get it.
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: Whatever.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Nobody can have any fun, I think, is ultimately what
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: this comes down to. Anyway, parents. Oh, here we go. Look,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about the six-year-old with a gun. Look, we
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: go right here. Parents in West Claremont School looking for answers.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: A student brought a gun to Westchester Claremont Middle School
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: last month. Now we got a petition. It was signed
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: by about 1,400 people asking for a response from the leader.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: School board meeting last week. Parents voiced their frustration and concern.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Districts laid out a timeline of the events, a series
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: of reported social movements. threats and rumors about guns at
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the school started on September 23rd, but investigators couldn't find
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: any credible threats. September 25th, apparently that changed. A student
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: reported seeing a gun in a classmate's backpack. Officials say
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the weapon was quickly recovered and no threats were made.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Superintendent Fultz, not available for interview by, what do you
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: got here? Jay Shackor over at WCPO, if I recall correctly.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Jay. But a district acknowledged concerns, of course,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: about communication and said it's changing its approach to get
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: information out to the families while still working with the investigators.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: According to the statement, Erfoltz said to parents during a
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: school board meeting last week, at the end of the day,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: we all want the same thing for kids. We want
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: them to be in a safe environment, learning and growing
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: into those amazing adults that will make us proud. All right.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: He said the district has heard consistently from families, and
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: they want more detailed communication. That's what they're working to provide. So,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: areas under review to deal with the safety issues promised
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: by the superintendent. Weapons detection technology, which says it includes
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: traditional detection systems, I'm sure, like metal detectors, as well
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: as newer technologies incorporating artificial intelligence and other advanced detection capabilities. So,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: scanners of some sort. Classroom protection devices described as providing
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: additional layers of protection within the building, meaning that whole
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: sentence about classroom protection devices doesn't provide us any information whatsoever.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Locker and backpack practices and procedures and additional school resource officers.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: So that's coming because middle school kids, middle schools are
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: packing heat. Aggravated murder investigation underway after the death of
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: an inmate at Lebanon Correctional Institute after an alleged altercation
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: with the cellmate. According to Ohio State Highway Patrol, they
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: identified the inmate as Maurice Vinson, 29 years old. He'd
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: been arrested in Summit County in July on a parole violation.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Incident summary report provided again. Yes, WCPO Channel 9. Ohio
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: State Highway Patrol said they suffered serious injuries during a
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: fight between two cellmates, The morning of October 3rd, taken
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: to Atrium Medical Center, died from his injuries. Death marks
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: another inmate fatality at the Warren County Prison within the
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: past year. That's two. Back in November last year, LaSalle Allen,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: he was an inmate there. He died after suffering severe
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: injuries and an altercation with his cellmate.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: Hmm.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Prison bad. Prison sucks. Don't want to go to prison.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: You might get killed by your cellmate. Ward needs to
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: get out. Some people need to be held accountable. I'm
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: not saying we don't want to ratchet up security for
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: the people that you're responsible for watching over, workers at
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: the correction facility, but.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Maybe some of these young people, these violent, angry six-year-olds
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: with nine millimeters shooting their teachers might want to experience
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: a little time incarcerated in a juvenile court jail. Just
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: a thought. Good luck trying and getting that to happen.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Don't throw pineapples. Thinking of Signal 99 on this one. Westchester.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Four people facing criminal charges after the Westchester police say
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: a pineapple was thrown at a Tesla on Westchester Road.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Happened on October 1st. Police arrested 18-year-olds Bronson Moore, Danden Shacky, Shlacky,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: or Shlake, and Jacob Braun, plus a 17-year-old who obviously
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: wasn't identified because of his age. All in connection with
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: the incident, they said... According to Lieutenant David Tiven with
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: the police department, one of a few incidents reported to
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the police last week. He said they had several reports
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: of eggs being chucked at moving vehicles and hitting cars.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Pineapple incident, they say, started around 11 p.m., 7500 block
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: of Westchester Road. They have video captured by the Tesla.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Of course, it's got 9,000 cameras on it. Shows somebody
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: throwing a pineapple out of the rear driver's side window
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: of a gray Chevy onto the Tesla as it passed by. Braun, Moore,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: and the 17-year-old charged with vehicular vandalism and complicity schlake, schlacky,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: facing complicity charge. And, of course, the danger of this
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: is so damn obvious. Tesla sustained $ 1, 500 worth of damage,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: windshield and a little bit of the body damage. And
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: insofar as the other incident is concerned, an egg was
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: thrown from a moving car earlier, I guess previously, bounced
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: off another vehicle and sent a piece of eggshell into
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: a woman's face. Reportedly, she's okay. Don't throw stuff at cars.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: 535-55-KRC-D Talk Stadium. A few articles here. Man walking nude
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: on the MKT Trail. Finally identified and arrested by Columbia
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Police Department agents. Apparently these incidents started all the way
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: back in May of this year, and they'd received five
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: reports of this naked guy walking around in public. Police
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: quickly able to identify the suspect using flock cameras, which
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: led police to identify Dark Kwan Jennings, who's 32, from Columbia,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: or of Columbia. Arrested on suspicion of four counts of
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: sexual misconduct after flock cameras identified his vehicle in the
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: 800 block of Stadium Boulevard. Police are continuing to investigate. Hmm,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: flock cameras. And props to dogs. You know, anybody knows me.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan of dogs, and I have seen
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: police dogs in action. Those police canines are amazing. So
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: let's give a big round of applause to Canine Loki
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: from Colorado Springs, California. Canine Loki helped the Colorado Police
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Department track down and catch a suspect who allegedly smashed
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: the door of a business and entered it while naked.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Happened early this week on Tuesday. 7.30 in the morning Tuesday,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: officers showed up to a burglary in progress on North
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Park Drive. In which a caller had reported a man
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: with no clothing smashed through the door and went inside
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: the business. Officers got there, they secured the location, started
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: looking for this guy, but they couldn't find him and
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: nobody said he left the building, so... Enter Loki, the canine.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Officers had a drone in the area looking for him again.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: When no one came out, canine Loki went in and
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: immediately found the suspect who was arrested and taken to
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: the El Paso County Criminal Justice Center. I wonder if
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: the dog had used his.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Teeth.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: The guy was naked. Envision that. Kill, Loki.
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: Kill.
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: Kill.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Rose, I will take your call when I come back.
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: It's 545.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: I've got to take a quick break. It is 541
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: on 55KRCD Talk Station. Time for the Stack is Stupid.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Looking forward to Congressman Davidson returning to the program at 7.05.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Doing some love for seniors at 7.30 with Patty Scott
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: from Heart for Seniors and Jay Ratliff at 8.30. That's
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: the guest lineup this morning. You can feel free to
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: give me a call if you'd like. I'd love to
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: hear from you. Beyond that, hey, look, a new survey.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Survey Center on American Life. This is hilarious. described as
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: offering a glimpse into the perceptions of young women, generally speaking,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: but specifically Democrat women. Ask yourself this. Between the ages
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: of 18 and 29, the women surveyed, 66% of them,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Democrats specifically, believe that the challenges they face in American
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: society are, in the quotes, in a great deal due
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: to the behaviors or actions of men. Close quote. Good
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: morning to my beautiful wife. Only 18% of Republican women
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: feel the same way about those problems. They're not going
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: to blame the guys. 54% of Democrat women between the
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: ages of 30 and 49 believe that they, well, men
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: are responsible for the challenges they face. Their behavior or actions. Specifically,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: only 23% of women in that age range agree with that.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Republican women, that is. And I love this. disparities generally
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: shrank as women grew older with finally waking up women understanding,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: even Democrats, that they shouldn't be blaming men for their problems.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: So the older you get, the less likely it is
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: you're going to be pointing at the opposite sex for
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: your trials and tribulations. Now, if they ask the question,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: do men see the same thing or feel the same way?
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: When men were asked whether women were to blame for
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: their troubles, only 16% agreed. Republican men agreed. More likely
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: than Democrat young men to blame women for the challenges
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: they face, but only by 26. And I laugh about that.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: How many times you talk to a conservative guy talking
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: about some, you know, well, we'll just say rather rotund,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: blue haired woman screaming, you know, with a nose ring
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff.
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Draw your own conclusions and wear what you want from
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: a fashion statement standpoint. But most guys, that's not a
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: good look. We're not into it. So, yeah, conservative men
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: might be more likely to blame their, at least, Democrat
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: women for that stuff. Nude people. It's not Friday, but
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I do have a few articles here. Man walking nude
• 28:49

  Speaker 1: welcome to the program. Thanks for calling this morning.
• 32:21
  Speaker 8: Yes, Brian.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: I was just thinking, what do you think about all
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: the mental institutions who closed? And that's where these people belong.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: They belong in mental institutions.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no question about it.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: Get them off the street.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Get them off.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: The people that are causing all the riots and everything,
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: they're mentally disturbed.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: They are.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: And they're walking around.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Well, this is a phenomenon in the 60s that took place.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I think everybody and his brother bought a copy of
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey and
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: read it and thought that every single institution was not
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: redeemable and therefore should be shut down. And so this
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: is the price you pay for letting people that have
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: serious illnesses You know, psychosis, there's a real problem. You've
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: got psychotics running around. They need to be institutionalized. They
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: need to be on their medication, and quite often they
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: don't take it. I don't know what you do with
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: a six-year-old boy who's got a terrible attitude. I don't
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: know that he necessarily suffers from mental illness. We don't
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: know if he's psychotic or not. He just probably has
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: a horrific home life. His parents brought him up in
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: an environment where they regularly curse each other out and
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: drop F-bombs. So maybe he just needs some counseling in
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: a different environment. I'm certain he's been removed from his
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: prior environment. No idea who's taking care of him now,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: but massive problem. Now, if he's speaking in tongues and
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: mutilating himself or doing something like that, maybe you can
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: conclude he's got some sort of DSM-5 diagnosable problem. But
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: right now, I just think it's terrible parents problem. And
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: maybe a judicial system that doesn't treat him harshly enough.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Going to Baltimore on that note, 12-year-old kid driving a
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: stolen car on September 30th, blew a red light, ran
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: into an elderly motorist named Barry Wright, not White, of
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Baltimore City. The 69-year-old died at the scene. Boy in
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: the car with a 15-year-old passenger. Again, he was 12.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: What's going to happen to him? Well, according to the reporting,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: he will be facing no criminal charges in the incident.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Here's an idea for the six-year-old. How about this? Instead,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: police submitted a child in need of supervision. That's an
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: initial cap on that, C-I-N-S, referral, and met with the
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Maryland Department of Juvenile Services. As for the 15-year-old, she
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: was arrested and charged with motor vehicle theft. She's not
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: the one that killed the motorcyclist. They say they're not
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: sure what comes next for the 12-year-old. It could be
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: counseling or court-ordered supervision for the child, which is where
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: I got my comments to pass along to Rose because
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: I had previously read this. See, that's the course of
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: action for a six-year-old, I guess, counseling. A 69-year-old woman
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: arrested for drunkenly doing donuts on an Indiana courthouse lawn
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: earlier this week on Monday. Woman described as intoxicated at
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: the time of the arrest.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Of course, this video was shared by the Jennings County
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Sheriff's Department, and they did put out a statement. Yesterday afternoon,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: a 67-year-old woman arrested for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: along with a bunch of other charges after the incident
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: at the courthouse. If you've had a few too many
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: margaritas with dinner, please don't get behind the wheel and
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: definitely don't do donuts on the courthouse lawn, said the
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Jennings County Sheriff.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: Release.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Let's go to LaGrange, Illinois. We had a fight at
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: the James Beard State Park ending with the arrest of
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: a nude guy in LaGrange. Troopers said they showed up
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: to a call about an ongoing altercation almost 3 o'clock
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: in the afternoon. They got there, found an individual physically
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: restraining 51-year-old Paul Roberts. Police say Mr. Roberts naked and
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: reportedly seen engaging in lewd conduct. Don't have to use
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: much imagination on that one, do you, folks? Charged with
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: public lewdness, exposure of a person. I love these charges.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: And harassment. 5.55, coming up at 5.56. Plenty to talk
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: about at the 6 o'clock hour. France is burning, among
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: other things. But feel free to give me a shout
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: at the topic you'd like to talk about. Lots of eclectic.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: stories surrounding me so i'm sure we'll find something to
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: talk about i'll be right back it's 605 at 55

  Speaker 1: followed by patty scott good friend from heart for seniors
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: which is amazing technological advances to help uh Some elderly seniors,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: folks struggling with Alzheimer's, dementia, folks that are in facilities
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: as well as people at home, technology to help care
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: for them in a whole host of different ways. It
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: started out as an incontinence thing. So health care providers
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: or family members know immediately when that senior in your
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: world needed to have their diapers changed because otherwise they
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: get infections and it's just a downward spiral. And you
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: never know when you need to do that. Well, welcome
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: to modern technology. And Heart for Seniors is bringing that.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: So it's an immediate alert. They got apps now. They
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: got smart watches for seniors. Everybody gets to know what's
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: going on with the loved ones. So we'll get some
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: new details on some new technology at 7.30. And then

• 37:58
  Speaker 1: video of the six-year-old cursing out cops. It is just unimaginable. Bobby,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: welcome to the program. I guess it's Thursday. We're going
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: to get it over and under. I mentioned you earlier
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: in the program because Blink is going on this weekend.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Last time they had Blink in 2024, they said two
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: million people came downtown, so I suspect And this is
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: bigger this year. There's more going on. There's going to
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: be even more people downtown. But, Bobby, I take that
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: as a sign of safety because there are strength in numbers.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: I just wouldn't want to be in any other neighborhoods
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: without police during the Blink event. Welcome back, my friend.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: I agree with you 100%. Oh, okay. Faith Flags family,
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: and I tell you what, it's going to be handicap Thursday.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: I agree with you. It's going to be beautiful weather.

  Speaker 4: I am.

  Speaker 1: Call it every week. Call your polymarket, folks, or make
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: your polymarket bad because Bobby's called it. Bob, thank you,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: my friend. Always good to hear from you. Have a
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: great day. Let's see what Carl's got this morning. Hey, Carl,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: welcome to the show, and happy Friday Eve to you.
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: Happy Friday evening.
• 39:49
  Speaker 8: Say, besides being fall in Cincinnati, it's survey time in Cincinnati.
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: The city of.
• 39:55
  Speaker 8: Cincinnati wants its residents to fill out a survey and
• 39:58
  Speaker 8: let them know about what they think about the potholes
• 40:02
  Speaker 8: and the trash collection and stormwater management and traffic calming measures,
• 40:08
  Speaker 8: et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, Carl, you just rattled off a whole
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: list of things I'll be going through. This sucks. I mean,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: you know, boil down to its most basic terms. Potholes suck,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: and it's terrible. Water system's problematic. My basement still is
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: filled with sewage. I mean, you could get on the list,
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't sound to me like they really have
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: done anything that makes life better. Those damn speed bumps are, oh,
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: I just don't.
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:34
  Speaker 8: Anyway.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: So where's the survey?
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Nothing.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, where?
• 40:39
  Speaker 8: It's cincinnatisurvey.org. Being sponsored by or conducted by ETC Institute
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: out of Olathe, Kansas. And the media contact, I guess,
• 40:59
  Speaker 8: would be the project manager, Ryan Murray at.
• 41:05
  Speaker 7: Ryan, R-Y-A-N, dot M-U-R-R-A-Y.
• 41:08
  Speaker 8: How much did.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: The ETC Institute get paid to do this?
• 41:18
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 41:19
  Speaker 8: That's not listed in the letter here. The city manager,
• 41:24
  Speaker 8: Cheryl Long, wrote the introduction letter. There are 39 sections
• 41:29
  Speaker 8: of this survey with approximately 10 questions each. Many of
• 41:34
  Speaker 8: the questions are ambiguous. For example, Section 7, Question 5
• 41:40
  Speaker 8: talks about street lighting. Rate each of the following. Well,
• 41:43
  Speaker 8: I think there are plenty of street lights in the city. However,
• 41:47
  Speaker 8: many of them are burned out. They never seem to
• 41:49
  Speaker 8: get replaced unless you report them. And as I mentioned before,
• 41:54
  Speaker 8: the one section... You know, police services, what do you
• 41:58
  Speaker 8: think about the police? Well, I think the police, you know,
• 42:00
  Speaker 8: are trying to do a good job. However, they're understaffed.
• 42:07
  Speaker 8: Section 15, question 16 talks about traffic calming measures located
• 42:13
  Speaker 8: throughout the city, speed cushions, humps, raised intersections, crosswalks, dedicated
• 42:19
  Speaker 8: on-street parking. Do you rate that as very satisfied, satisfied, neutral, dissatisfied,
• 42:26
  Speaker 8: very dissatisfied, or you don't know? So it's kind of ambiguous.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: It sure is.
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 42:34
  Speaker 8: Question seven in that section talks about congestion management and
• 42:38
  Speaker 8: flow of traffic on city streets in your neighborhood.
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: You know, they want you to rate that.
• 42:44
  Speaker 8: Well, I feel that there's too much congestion.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: They're not doing enough, but.
• 42:50
  Speaker 6: How do you.
• 42:50
  Speaker 8: Put this down?
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 42:55
  Speaker 8: It's similar to the one they did last year.
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: And you know what? You rattled off a whole bunch
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: of things, and I'm just focusing on the streetlights. They're
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: burned out. What a simple fix. And I do believe, Carl,
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: you can feel free to argue with me if you want.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: That's existing infrastructure. I mean, how much money could it
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: really take to fix a damn streetlight overall? I mean,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: if less than 100 of them are out, I mean,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: get a crew to go around and drive around, use
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: some of the railroad money, and fix the damn streetlights. Oh,
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: and look, there's a pothole there on the road. Why
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: don't we fix that while we're at it, too, because
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: we've got thousands of lane miles that haven't been touched
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: in years. Oh, this kind of thing angers me, Carl.
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll see what happens with the survey, but I
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: don't know that you can necessarily hang your hat on
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: the results, because going to your very profound and excellent
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: point on the police... What do you think of your
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: police department? I think the Cincinnati Police Department does a
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: bang-up job. I think they do a wonderful job. We
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: drop the ball occasionally. Of course, every human being does
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: from time to time. But overall, they are challenged. They
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: are overworked. They're tired. They don't get any love from
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: the administration. Nothing positive is said about them. They don't
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: even have a police chief, interim police chief. How long
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: is that going to go on? Cheryl Long? Cheryl Long,
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: side-by-side with Iris Rowley, who detests the police. My perception, anyway. Yeah,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: things are bad for the Cincinnati Police Department, but I
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: want to give them high marks. I'm staring at a survey.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: It doesn't let me qualify what I want to say.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: How about a fill-in-the-blank segment? Do you care to elaborate
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: on why you said satisfied or not satisfied at all
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: to whatever answer? Yeah, that might be some help. Do
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: they have a separate question regarding the city manager and
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: her performance? Probably not. Anyhow, let's see. I'm running out
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: of time in this particular segment, and I got a great,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: great article, which I will characterize as schadenfreude. So I'm
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: feeling very good about the misery that has befallen Massachusetts,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: and most notably, Democratic Governor Maura Healey. who is a
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: perfect illustration, her bat-crap Green New Deal, green energy insanity,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: finally coming home to roost. Like I've been saying, if
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: you go out and you vote Democrat because you're angry
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: at Donald Trump because of the price of gasoline, price
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: of diesel, price of heating oil, you're only inviting more
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: pain because they haven't. They, the Democrat Party, and the
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Democrat socialists within them have not walked away from their
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: green energy policies. That's because they don't want us to
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: be wealthier. They don't want us to be a successful nation.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: They don't want us showing the rest of the world
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: what success looks like. They don't have control over the
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: people that live in a free society. And we're one
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: of the few left, and those freedoms are gradually being
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: eroded each and every day. So this is something we
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: need to be ever vigilant about. And don't be angry
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: and sit on your hands. Get out and vote. And
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: sure as hell, Tom, if you're out there, don't vote Democrat.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: 615 right now. 55 KRC, the talk station. This just
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: cracks me up again. Voting for Democrats is a vote
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: for climate change and CO2 elimination, green energy projects that
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: obviously are extraordinarily expensive and do not provide you with any,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: if not much, if any return on investment, you get
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: lack of reliability, you get a higher cost for energy production.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: And yet this is what they push. artificially creating problems
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: so we feel the need to shift over to something
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: that does not work as well as what we're using
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: right now, which is a whole lot of petroleum products
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: in this world, along with natural gas. So let us
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: pivot over to the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Climate reality hits Massachusetts. While campaigning for governor of Massachusetts
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: four years ago, Maura Healey, she's the governor, boasted that
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: as state attorney general, she had, quote, stopped Two gas
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: pipelines from coming into this state, close quote. She's crowing
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: about it. Pivot over to today where she's pleading with
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration to expedite permits for a pipeline expansion.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: Add Governor Healy to the list of Democrats mugged by
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: energy reality. Enjoy the shot in Florida, folks. She wrote
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Energy Secretary Chris Wright last week. beseeching the administration to
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: move quickly and with urgency on the federal review. Damn,
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: damn federal regulations standing in the way. Oh, look, the
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: pipeline was ready to be built, but you stood in
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: the way, ma'am. That was a little while ago. I
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: guess your position has changed. Your constituents are angry, and
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: they're going to be cold this winter. Any federal delay
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: could put those consumer benefits at risk. Preceded by this,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: together with other recent expansions, would have provided enough gas
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: capacity on this line to meet total household heating needs
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: this past January. It could have saved 600,000 utility customers
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: $ 40 million a year. This is something that she wants
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: now that she absolutely outright prevented from happening when she
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: was running for governor. Back in 2015, she claimed, we
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: do not need increased gas capacity to meet electric reliability needs.
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: Boom!
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: She wanted the state to, in her words, embrace energy
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: efficiency and demand response programs. Yeah, that'll do it.
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: Eh, not.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Well, those programs, utilities urge people just to use less
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: electricity by, of course, using their smart thermostats to throttle
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: the air conditioners from working. Better the voters swelter than
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: generate CO2 emissions. Props, editorial board. Fast forward 10 years,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: several nuclear and coal plants in New England collapsed. that
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: once provided reliable baseload power have, of course, been closed,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: leaving Massachusetts and the entire region more reliant on not windmills,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: not solar, natural gas for electricity, which made up half
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: of New England's power generation last year. Pivoting over to
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: solar and wind, you know, my favorite things to get
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: energy from, how much do you think it was for
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: the entire region? New England, 8%.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: Half of.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: Massachusetts households also rely on gas for heat. Due to
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: the pipeline constraints, which could have been avoided 10 years ago,
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: the state has to import liquefied natural gas from overseas,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: which has got its own complicating factors. Plus, the cost
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: is expensive. Grid operator, speaking the truth, solar can't fill
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: the winter power gaps because of snow, clouds, and shortened
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: daylight hours. Grid operators said winter storms that limit solar
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: power can also significantly limit the output of wind generation.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: This is so funny, people. Winter storms, okay, so the
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: sun ain't shining, significantly limit the output of wind generation
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: if high wind speeds force plant operators to shut down
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: in order to protect the windmills. I guess when you
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: pay for these big expensive windows, they weren't designed to
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: handle well, gusty winds. So you can't generate power with
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: this seriously with, with serious wind speeds. That's just, they
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: got to shut it off or you got to buy
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: a new window or something. I guess it gets burned out.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: You think you can engineer something that might manage that
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: and still generate electricity. But the point being, this is
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: not working to generate sufficient electricity needs for the new
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: England region. It's also pointed out during frigid weather, gas
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: plants without adequate supply start burning oil, which maybe you
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: got the memo, is really expensive these days.
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: Oil.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: Price of heating oil in Massachusetts, $ 6. 12 a gallon. Last year,
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: it was $ 3. 53. Go ahead and scream about evil orange man,
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: but you can also scream about the Democrats and their
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: stupid energy policies denying them the access to the natural
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: gas that would probably flow a lot freer and for
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: less money had they built the pipeline. Now, how much
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: more expensive, for example, do you think this pipeline is
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: 10 years later, just on inflation alone? So not only
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: did she screw her constituents out of a lifeline that
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: would have provided regular and even uninterrupted power for the region,
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: she's now wanting a pipeline that that she turned on
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: before that's going to cost a heap load more. Getting
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: screwed both ways. They say a paucity of natural gas
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: is one of the reasons Massachusetts has the fourth highest
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: electricity rates in the country. The only people that have
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: it worse are Hawaii, California, and Maine. And they're expecting
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: the power bills to jump higher in the middle because
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: there's going to be a higher LNG in oil prices
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: from the war in Iran. That's already had a ripple effect.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: You know that more than I do or as much
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: as I do. Importing LNG, speaking of the cost, six
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: times more than United States natural gas, which, again, would
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: be flowing into the region if it wasn't for nutcases
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: like Marahili, who are able to pivot 180 degrees and
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: go the opposite direction from their global warming concerns. We're
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: all going to die. We've got to do this until, well,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: trouble hits. And then you're like, well, okay, maybe I
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: was kidding on that. Maybe it's not that big of
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: a problem. Maybe it isn't an existential problem for the globe. Hell,
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: nobody else is working on it. The Chinese don't do anything.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: The Turks don't do anything. The Indians don't do anything.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: Why in the hell are we bothering? 625 right now, 55KRC.

• 52:50
  Speaker 1: Here's an interesting post. Ohio pastor, and I'm going to
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: qualify by saying I'm trusting the post as it is written,
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: and I believe it actually happened. I could be wrong,
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: but even if it is not a real post, artificial
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: intelligence created or something, Makes a great point to my
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: friends out there who upset that Vivek Ramaswamy is a
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: person of color. Sorry, that makes you a racist. If
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: you're not voting for him because he's a person of color,
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: then you obviously have a problem with the person looking
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: at you.
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: In the mirror.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: Now, beyond that, I know a lot of Christians are
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: not happy that he's Hindu. He's entitled to his own
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: religious choices. That's the way his family raised him, but
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: he's profoundly successful. Obviously, he does not need this job,
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: but he does love the state of Ohio, and he
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: loves his hometown here in Cincinnati. But this Ohio pastor.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: Said the following. It was apparently in the Columbus Dispatch.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: Neil Darien of Fresno wrote in a letter to the
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: Columbus Dispatch, as a Christian and a pastor, I would
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: prefer to have a Christian on the ballot for governor
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: in Ohio this year. He was thinking, reflecting on his
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: father's recent death and the fact that his dad would
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: write in a candidate rather than voting for someone who
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: didn't share his values that was actually on the ballot.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: And his point, none of them ever won. And he
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: goes on to argue that those elections, the choices can
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: help by doing that. that can help elect a candidate
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: that you least prefer, i.e. Amy Acton. He said King
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: Cyrus wasn't a believer, but God used him. Quote, I
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: pray Ohio Christians will show up in force and vote
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: biblical values. Ramaswami holds my Christian values. I'm voting for him.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: In other words, he's a good man. And I asked
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: this of a very religious friend of mine a long
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: time ago. Now, this is hypothetical. We were talking philosophy,
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: and I said, listen, man, If I was the perfect Christian,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: at least by all outward appearances, I didn't violate any
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: of the Ten Commandments. I treat my fellow human beings
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: with love and respect and decency. I took care of
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: my family, took care of my kids, honored my father
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: and mother, went up and down the whole Ten Commandments,
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: honored every one of them. I was a decent person.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: Would I get in if I wasn't declared a Christian?
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: Of course, get into heaven. But if what you're looking
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: for is living by Christian values, even if a person
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: isn't a declared Christian, he's not running around trying to
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: kill you. He's not trying to blow you up in
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: the name of whatever God he or she believes in.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: He's walking the Christian walk. Just not talking the Christian talk.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: But I think you can objectively say Vivek Ramaswamy has
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: lived his life honorably. And he's been wildly successful. And
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: why do we in this country think it's appropriate to
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: demonize people who are so dang successful? And, yes, I'm
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: going to make the point again. I've never owned a business.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: I've never run one. I have relied my entire 61
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: years on this planet, as long as I've been working anyway,
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: with the exception of grass-cutting jobs. First job, W-2 employee
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: at IGA, stock and shelves, when I was 16. And
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: I have been a W-2 employee ever since then. And
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: I don't mind that a bit because I need and
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: I do rely on smarter people than me that were
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: capable of building something so wildly successful that they do
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: something noble like hire a whole bunch of people who
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: can then go on and feed their families and live
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: and prosper in this country. What a novel concept. What
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: is wrong with that? Why is it so bad that
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: a billionaire would run for the governor of the state
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: of Ohio? You don't have to worry about corruption with Ramaswamy.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: He doesn't need the money. Wouldn't it be awesome, you know,
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: I'm never going to be in the position, but when
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: a lobbyist comes in knocking on your door and said, hey,
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: you know, I can do this, I can do that,
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: I can pad your campaign coffers, give you heap loads
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: of money, to say, no, I don't need it. Matter
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: of fact, I don't need your money at all. I
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: don't want to be tainted by your money. I don't
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: want to have the perception that your money influenced any
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: vote I had. Oh, parenthetically, I'm going to fund my
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: own campaign. Huh. I like that option better. And then,
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: When you start hearing what the platforms are and you
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: start listening to the messages that are conveyed and you
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: consider that Amy Acton will not debate Vivek Ramaswamy. She's
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: hiding like Joe Biden in her cave. The choice is obvious.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: So put aside your religious differences if you can. And
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: you racists out there, I'm sorry. I don't know how
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: you end up in that position. But, you know, wake
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: the hell up. 645. For seniors, Patty, with some new
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: technology to help seniors out there. In the meantime, I'm
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: going to go over to the phones. Got a few
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: callers online. We're going to start with Mike. Hey, Mike,
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning. Happy Friday Eve.
• 57:24
  Speaker 6: Hi, Brian.
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: Hi.
• 57:26
  Speaker 10: A couple things about Vivek Ramaswamy. Last I checked, Hinduism
• 57:31
  Speaker 10: was like one of the most peaceful religions out there.
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 57:35
  Speaker 10: And then, you know, they don't, they promote, you know,
• 57:37
  Speaker 10: level with each other and be peaceful.
• 57:40
  Speaker 7: Turn the other cheek.
• 57:41
  Speaker 10: Kind of like Christianity does the same thing.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they have multiple gods, but, you know.
• 57:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: Is there a such thing as a hardcore, murderous, Hindu
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: religious fundamentalism, Mike? Is there a subset of that religion?
• 57:55
  Speaker 10: No, I don't think there is.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: I've never heard of one either.
• 57:58
  Speaker 10: He graduated from.
• 58:01
  Speaker 9: St. X.
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: There's that. A Jesuit high school. At least he was
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: surrounded by it. You might have heard a few things
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: at Xavier, too. Yes, a wonderful learning institution. There are
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: some out there. Mike, appreciate the call, brother. Dave, welcome
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: to the show, and happy Friday Eve to you.
• 58:21
  Speaker 5: Yes, I wanted to talk about the other lack of
• 58:23
  Speaker 5: leadership of the candidates from the Democrats, and we're looking
• 58:27
  Speaker 5: at a true leader in Vivek Ramaswamy. Leadership is an actual...
• 58:33
  Speaker 5: Combination of personality, training, and skills that you use to
• 58:37
  Speaker 5: manage the people and the organization that you are going
• 58:40
  Speaker 5: to run. They have none of that. It's a choice
• 58:42
  Speaker 5: between leaders and lackeys. And guess who the lackeys and lick, spittle,
• 58:46
  Speaker 5: toadies are? Yep.
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a good point.
• 58:49
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: He's demonstrated his successful leadership by, well, running wildly successful businesses.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: They have organizational structures. He's responsible for a hierarchy of people. And,
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: of course, making money. So that, you know, all wonderful points.
• 59:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, one more point. For the Christians out there, I
• 59:08
  Speaker 5: would like to remind them. of the parable of the
• 59:11
  Speaker 5: good Samaritan. Our government is lying, lying left for dead
• 59:16
  Speaker 5: by the side of the road. After being robbed, the
• 59:19
  Speaker 5: good Christians haven't come up, but the Samaritan is there.
• 59:22
  Speaker 6: To rescue him.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: Well stated entering a theology discussion here on the 55
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: KRC morning show. And with that, I can say out
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: loud again, and you know the answer to this question
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: is no. Do we live in a theocracy? People say,
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: this is a Christian nation. No, if it was a
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: Christian nation, the Constitution would say, like the Church of England,
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: we have a designated formal affiliation with a church. It's
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: the country's church. Founding fathers rejected that because they lived
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: under that concept and they hated it. Why am I
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: paying taxes for a church that I don't even go to?
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: Some of them asked. Talk to Ben Franklin. Read books
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: about the time period and why those principles are embodied
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: in the Constitution of the United States of America. Freedom,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: free exercise of religion. It's the first in the First Amendment.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: In front of free speech, free exercise. But the idea
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: that we don't have a theocracy means they can't like, oh,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: say the Iranians, lop your head off because you violate
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: their perception of what the norms are. You know, and
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: a perception of the norms that isn't even shared by
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: the entire Muslim community. I mean, this is crazy. James,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: welcome to the program, Mississippi. James, your name came up
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: yesterday at listener lunch. I guess it's flip phone Tom
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: you had commented on last time, and he said, tell
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: him I said hi. He actually turned out to be
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: a pretty decent guy, James, but he insisted like eight
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: times that if you called that I should mention his name.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: So there you go, flip phone. I mentioned your name.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: Welcome back, James.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: Appreciate that, sir. And I come in peace. Love everybody.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: And there's nothing you can do about it. Mighty Christian
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: principles there, sir. Hey, man, you tell my three in
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: the needle. We really looking at three in the needle
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: in this governor race. Hindu India, you know, a people
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: been so indoctrinated to think one way with one religion.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: And if it don't match up to them, they don't
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: want it.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: So we got some ways to go. We getting there,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: but we still got some ways to go. So we'll
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: just see there. And then probably a lot of people,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: you know, they look at him as a billionaire. Is that,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: is he the greedy old man made billionaire? He's a
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: successful businessman. Which one you gonna, you know, connect yourself to?
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: See, I'll latch on to that statement. Greedy billionaire or,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: you know, evil. You know, anytime you couch billionaire in
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: the pejorative, You are engaging in what I like to
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: call class warfare, which is a favorite thing for the
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: left wing to do. Yeah, they've got more than you.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: They don't spend their money appropriately. Look at all this
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: stuff they've got. They've got more.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: So what? It's America. You get choice in America. You
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: can be successful. You can work your butt off and
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: fail or succeed. But whatever you do with your money
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: is your own damn issue. Now, I disagree with the
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: way a lot of these billionaires spend their money. Do
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: you think I would own six houses? Six 10,000 square
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: foot houses and a half a billion dollar yacht. Hell no.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: I don't care if I got a trillion dollars in
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: the bank, Elon Musk. I wouldn't own all that stuff.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: I think it's stupid. I didn't go to the house
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: where you have way too much space. How many rooms
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: do you actually use in your house? I think about
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: this all the time. I got friends that bought really
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: big houses. You know what? There's two people living in it.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: Whatever their money, they get to make the choice, but
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: don't let that fuel anger and resentment. You know, you
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: have an opportunity in this country to succeed. And if
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: you're in my position, you have an opportunity to get
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: a job with one of these successful folks, and thank
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: God they're there employing people. It's a good point. Go
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: ahead and look at Ramaswamy. Has he done something demonstrably evil?
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: I know he didn't shut down the schools and deny
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: our children education. On a whim, 655-55-KRC, the talk station.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: Phones on to my guests in studio. It's Roger King,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: and of course... Patty Scott. It's Heart for Seniors Day
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: again here on the 55KRC Morning Show. It's so uplifting
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: to have these folks in the studio and learn about
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: this amazing technology. Of course, I need to remind my listeners,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: my father struggles with Alzheimer's, and he was in Alzheimer's facility,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: and not always the greatest conditions going on, and it's
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: tough to get people to work there. It's difficult for
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: people to get hired for a job where they have
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: to spend a lot of their day cleaning up after
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: seniors and diaper changes and things like that. So, There
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: are better ways to care for our seniors, and that
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: is exactly what Heart for Seniors is all about. So
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: check out the website, heart4seniors. org, and learn about this technology. Welcome,
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: Roger and Patty. It's always a pleasure to see you
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: and hear about the work that you're doing.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 9: Thank you, Brian. We appreciate you. We, of course, appreciate
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 9: your listeners.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: They're great, aren't they?
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 9: They're amazing. And a lot of this technology has been
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 9: created because of their feedback. Obviously, our number one goal
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 9: is to keep people at home.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 9: As long as they possibly can. I mean, it's what
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 9: they want.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: And going back to our situation with dad, you know,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: you could see it in mom how difficult the job was.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: And you just get to the point where you cannot
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: manage the work. It's 24-7. And for a spouse, you know,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the night, you got to get up.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: In the middle of the day, there's no time to
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: sleep or rest when someone is in that condition.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 9: So obviously, as you know, we have all the watch
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 9: with the metrics. Some of the latest updates that we're
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 9: so excited with Apple is they noticed how critical the
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 9: senior health AI was. They've now given us critical alert
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 9: status and time-sensitive alert status. So that in its.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: To provide an example of what that is.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 9: So normally if you just get a text message, it
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 9: just comes through and you actually just hear just a bing.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 9: Critical alert status is where it actually comes up on
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 9: your main screen page and it will not stop until
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 9: you stop it. So it's a different hierarchy of alerts.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: Kind of like an amber alert.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 9: It's kind of like an amber alert.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: Very much like an amber alert. In fact, what's... Interesting
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: about it is it overrides. Sometimes the data flow will
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: slow down. When you get that status, it's immediate. It
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: overrides everything and you get the alert. And with some
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: of the metrics we are now monitoring, the heart rate variability,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: blood oxygen levels, pulse ox, ECG, walking asymmetry, some of
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: these kinds of things, You want to know right away
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: if something really critical is happening. And the way we
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: built this device is, you know, once you download the app,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: you can also designate three or four family members to
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: get your alerts so that they're in the loop on
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: your data, right?
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: So we can set your individual thresholds. So if your
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: heart rate drops below 40 or it goes above 100
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: in a resting situation, you want to be alerted, right?
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: Those kinds of things. Or blood oxygen level maybe drops
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: below 85. You want to know right away if that's
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: happening with your mother at home, and you'll get the alert.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: You can be in Cleveland, and she's in Cincinnati, and
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: you're still going to know.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: And then we built the reporting system around that so
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: that you can get up to 30 days of data
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: with dates and times to share with your cardiologist, with
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: your physician. They can see you over time.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: Versus just seeing you in the office. Yeah, one blood
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: pressure check, one temperature check. This paints the picture of you.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: And we built internally into the system. artificial intelligence. So
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: you can go in there every day if you want,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: and you can do a key findings report on a
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: daily basis, and you can see what AI is saying
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: about all these various metrics that are being created by
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: the watch going through our app. And how you report
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: and configure that data tells your story.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 6: Indeed.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: And artificial intelligence... One hell of a diagnostician. It's amazing
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: what it can turn out. My son walked me through
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: some of the things he did in his job with AI.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: Lord Almighty, it is absolutely revolutionary, and that's not an
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: overstatement without question. Don't go away. We've got more to learn.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: Geofencing is one of the new things. Fire a call correctly,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: but we get more details about the services they offer.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: Just head to the website and check it out. You'd
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: be glad you did. Heart4Seniors. org. 740 at 55KRCD Talk Station.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: Happy Friday Eve. Smiles galore given the work that Heart No.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: 4 Seniors, heart4seniors. org is doing for the senior community. And
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: it only gets better and better and better. It started
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: off with the wound care, the bandages that don't stick
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: to the very delicate senior skin. Those things are absolutely
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: a game changer for folks that have wounds. So that's
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: what the start was. And then they started branching out
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: the technology to determine when the diapers have been soiled.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: So you can get efficient allocation techniques. of limited staff
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: or family members who know exactly when the diaper needs
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: to be changed as opposed to coming in every so
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: often and checking on it amazing technology the addition of
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: the app and roger you were going over the app
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: a little bit more on the break there and it
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: sounds like patty just scratched the surface of what parameters
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: you can put in there including hydration levels drug interactions
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: and things like that so if they're on say three
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: different drugs and they have a A stomach problem or whatever,
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: the AI can say, well, your senior is on this
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: drug and it may be responsible, that kind of thing, right?
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: When you set up your app, you give the information
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: about what medications you're taking and also what your medical
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: diagnoses are. So our AI system knows everything about your
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: medical history. And what we are finding in our pilot
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: that we did, we did an extensive pilot, and it's
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: been extremely beneficial, lots of hydration issues. Heart rate variability
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: is kind of a mystery zone, you know. Because we
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: know so little about it. But what we're seeing with
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: heart rate variability is it can be a good indicator
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: that somebody needs hydration. Seniors lose 15% of their body
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: water anyway when they get to, you know, in their
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: late 70s or early 80s. So hydration is a real
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: sensitive area and can cause UTIs. It can cause dizziness
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: and falls.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: We've also found iron levels are associated with a lot
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: of people's low oxygen levels. So a simple iron supplement,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: you know, when we're triggering people to go get a
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: lab test, you know, have your iron levels checked. Medication
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: side effects, we have, and in the pilot, a lot
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: of people have either had decreased or discontinued medications because
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: the side effects are showing up in the metrics.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: You're catching it.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: We're catching it.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 9: We're catching it.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: That's great. Oh, that's what was causing it. HeartForceSeniors.org. That's okay.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: Now let's talk about an even bigger game changer. Patty,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: I know how excited you were. You had so many
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: people clamoring for your version of geofencing. Let my listeners
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: know about this one. This is great.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 9: The scariest thing ever, and we hear it every day.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 9: We get all the Amber Alerts, and we see when
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 9: somebody has– just gone out to get the mail. And
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 9: all of a sudden they lose focus of where they
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 9: are and they start wandering. And imagine in the heat
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 9: that we've had or in the dead of winter, I mean,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 9: seconds matter, honestly. I mean, you can't even get away
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 9: five minutes. And then especially it's just, it's scary. So
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 9: we heard the listeners and we went deep. We thought,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 9: surely there's an app out there we can partner with
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 9: that already has it. And there wasn't. So we created it.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 9: And it's geofencing. You can set five different safe zones.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 9: So let's say you have your own home. And you
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 9: want to set that as a safe zone. So it
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 9: will alert immediately with a critical alert when they have
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 9: breached that barrier. So think of like an invisible fence.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: So it's like your loved one has one of those
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: air tags on it.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 9: Except it's right here. All they have to do is
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 9: just wear this.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: It's the watch she's referring to.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 9: I'm referring to the watch.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: It's radio, Patty. They can't see it. This is it
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: right here.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 9: So when they breach the safe zone, they get an alert.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 9: And what's great about it is you can see here
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 9: on the screen, and they can see this if they
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 9: go to our website.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: Definitely.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 9: You actually, when you breach it, it continues to follow
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 9: you live. And there's satellite coordination that if you have
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 9: to call the police to get them, all you have
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 9: to do is give the satellite location right at the bottom.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 9: What's even greater, though, is let's say you happen to
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 9: take them to get their hair done or you happen
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 9: to take them and you drop them off at adult daycare.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 9: You can set multiple safe locations online. So that when
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 9: they go in and out of the safe locations, you're notified.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 9: They've breached the safe location or they've returned to the
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 9: safe location.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: So you're not stuck with any of the selected. You
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: can change it at any time.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 9: You can change them at any time that you want.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: And you can have up to five family members getting
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: notified that somebody breached a safe zone. You can go
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: to the app and find them if they're in the
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: middle of a field. Or wherever they are, you're going
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: to find them.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, and that's critical. It's a widely known phenomenon. If
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: folks are struggling with Alzheimer's, dementia, they will wander away.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: I remember my dad staring across the street before he
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: was in the facility, and he was pointing at some
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: house we had no connection with or anything. He goes,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: I want to go home. That's not his home. And
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: so you're just dealing with just absolutely incomprehensible struggles and problems.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: This is a.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: So many problems solved. So many people will get relieved
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: of anxiety knowing that they know exactly where their loved
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: one is at any given time.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 4: That's great.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 9: And let me tell you something we didn't expect to get.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 9: So here we're thinking we're doing it for dementia. And
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 9: all of a sudden we had a family member call
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 9: us that has been testing it and said, hey, I
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 9: just noticed because we have 24 hour routes and it
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 9: shows literally where you've been second by second, time by time.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 9: And they said, my mom's going to the bank every
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 9: single day and she doesn't go to the bank. I
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 9: don't understand why she's going to the bank. And long
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 9: story short, her neighbor actually was in trouble and had
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 9: her going to the bank pulling out money every single day.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 9: So that, what was supposed to be a wandering issue,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 9: literally turned into figuring out that there was some... And
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 9: it wasn't mischievous in any way, shape, or form. But again...
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 9: They didn't know. It sure as hell could have been.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 9: It could have been. It could have been fraud.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: And real quick, because we're going to the break. The
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: other thing I'm thinking about is every senior, you know,
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: we always end up talking about the talk, you know,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: or sorry, you're just not capable of operating a motor
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: vehicle safely anymore. But there's a transition period before you
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: get from driving all the time to that. Sorry, the
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: keys have been taken away. So there's no option there.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: But if they're on a downward slide, they may lose
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: track of where they are on the road in a car.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: No longer an issue with that.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 9: No longer an issue. You can track live. You know
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 9: exactly where they are. And if, again, they go out
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 9: of that safe zone, you're alerted.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: 751-55-KRCD Talk Station. Check it out. HART, number4seniors. org. Some amazing
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: new technology. It keeps getting better and better and better.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: Helping you help take care of your loved ones. And
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: this geofencing thing with the app. Now, we've got the
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: app we talked about. It's free. The service is available
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: for free to caregivers. Have I got that correct? But
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: if you are not a caregiver, what is the subscription fee?
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah, so the actual app, because of all the reporting
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 9: and because of all the tracking and everything like that,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 9: we're keeping it as low as we can, $ 39. 99 a month,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 9: which for peace of mind and for all the reporting
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 9: and the geos, it's nothing. If we had more donors,
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 9: it would be free.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: That's right. Their goal is to all be free. And,
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: you know, you talk about how generous my listeners have
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: been in the past. And here's a shout out to
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: everybody who embraces this concept, wants to make life easier
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: for everyone and maybe wants to help those who might
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: not be able to afford thirty nine ninety nine. There's
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: a donate now button upper right hand corner at Hartford
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: Seniors dot org. And implore you to do that. All right,
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: real-world example. This could have been nefarious. It turned out
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: not to be. But tell my listeners about how this
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: geofencing worked for the woman who was going out to
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: the bank every day.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 9: Yeah, totally didn't expect this. But the family actually was
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 9: watching this person, not because they're early dementia, but they
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 9: just were concerned. She's older, and where is she going
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 9: and driving and all of that. All of a sudden,
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 9: they started looking at the 24-hour routing. and realized that
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 9: she was showing up at the bank every day.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: Every day.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 9: Every day. Like for the past three days, she was
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 9: showing up at the bank. So had the hard conversation.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 9: Long story short, the neighbor actually was in some trouble.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 9: And so she didn't want to go to her family members.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 9: So she went to the neighbor and she was going
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 9: to the bank withdrawing money every single day. And it
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 9: was just not a good situation at all. But they
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 9: wouldn't have known it had they not seen the route
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 9: because they knew it was they were like, why is
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 9: she going to the bank? Like they knew she was
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 9: going to the grocery or they knew she was going
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 9: to bingo. Didn't know she was going to the bank.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: Well, another practical application, I was thinking of my mom,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: and I am saying this out loud on the air
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: because she has two guys that live next to her.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: They are God sent. They help her out. I'm getting
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: emotional about it. But they could be on the app.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: They live right next to her.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 9: Right next to her. So if she happens to go
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 9: out at three o'clock in the morning and she's not
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 9: supposed to be outside for whatever reason, my mom gets
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 9: confused about what hour of the day it is sometimes.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 9: The alert goes off. You're 30 minutes away. I'm five
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 9: hours away. You know, they're right there. They get up,
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 9: they walk outside. And instead of her walking down the
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 9: street in the cul-de-sac or out on a busy street,
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 9: they get her, they escort her back in. I mean,
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 9: it's just, it's the safe zone, right? We want to
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 9: be safe. We want to stay at home.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: If Savannah Guthrie's mother were wearing this watch, they would
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: have found her.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: Good point.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: They would have found her. That's bringing that tragedy into it.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: But it's another valid point. That kind of thing happens
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: every day.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: She lived alone. She's an elderly woman, right? This is
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: so sensitive that we have one of our pilot patients
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: go into an assisted living facility. And we could see
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: that he wasn't leaving his room and going to therapy.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: We set his room up as a safe zone. They
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: weren't getting him up and taking the therapy. He was
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: there for rehab, and the family was watching it.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: And you had the therapy room geofenced as well, and
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: you could see that he never went into that room.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: We could. And the family was all over it and
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: was able to intervene and make sure that this facility
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: did its job. You know, at 1030 at night …
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: He was right by the front door ready to leave,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: and the alerts were going off, and the son called
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: the facility and said, hey, my dad's at the front
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: door going out. You need to go get him. So
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: it's very, very good. There's nothing like this anywhere else.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: In the world. This is an amazing geofencing system.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: Like the pervasive cameras around crime has gone down a lot.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: And I think a lot of it has to do
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: with people realizing that they're on camera. But you know what?
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: Maybe overall health care in these various facilities will get
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: much better because they are thinking to themselves, hmm, they
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: got one of those watches. So they're going to know
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: whether or not we're doing. our job. You can't be
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: with them 24-7. Heart4Seniors. org allows you to be there 24-7.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: Amazing technology. Please donate if you can. Get in touch
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: with all the services and technology they offer at Heart4Seniors
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: and Help you help yourself, and thank you for what
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: you're doing every day.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 9: Well, thank you. And by the way, go to the website.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 9: We're giving away a watch. We're giving away an Apple 12. Oh, cool.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 9: So all they have to do is register, and we're
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 9: giving that away, and we're going to get your mom
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 9: or dad or neighbor or loved one or whatever on
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 9: the system for you.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: And we're ready to expand.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: We're through the pilot. But we're through the pilot. We're
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: ready for new people to come in. Unlimited number. We're
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: absolutely ready.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: My friend that was in Virginia could not get the
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: something or I don't know what the behind the scenes
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: details are, but he's probably listening right now because he
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: knew you were going to be on the program.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 9: Absolutely. We any state doesn't matter where complete expansion.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 6: Great.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: Phone number's there.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 9: I guess you can read it.

  Speaker 9: Nonprofit.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 6: Thanks.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: I think we got it all in.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but this is great stuff. We'll have
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: you back in the 55KRC Morning Show studios. Anytime you've
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: got some new tech to let us know about, you're
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: always welcome here. And God bless both of you for
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: what you're doing for our senior community. It's 757-55KRC-TALKSTATION. Got
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: some time to talk between the top of the hour
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: news and the bottom of the hour in the next hour,
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: which is time for iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Ratliff. Stick around.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: 806 and 55KRC, the talk station.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 6: Friday Eve.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: Bottom of the hour. Yay for Friday Eve. Thursdays mean
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Ratliff. So love talking with Jay
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: about the aviation topics and have some really interesting ones,
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: which is always the case with Jay Ratliff. Plus the
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: worst airport in America. I can do that for you
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: real quick here. Dallas-Fort Worth. It's the most stressful, I
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: should properly phrase it, most stressful. They did a survey,
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: some company did, that tracks airports, and apparently Dallas-Fort Worth,
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: nearly 28% of flights out of Dallas-Fort Worth were delayed,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: 2.76 canceled, and it used 2025 data for that. So
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: he wasn't going to comment on that, and I don't
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: expect him necessarily to do so, but stay out of
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: Dallas-Fort Worth.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 6: Anyway.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: That's coming up at the bottom of the hour. In
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: the meantime, I started the program talking about this. I'm
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: bringing this up because I want to remind you the
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: video is linked on my blog page at 55KRC. com. Thank you, Danny,
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: covering for Joe. Just unbelievable that a six-year-old would bring
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: a gun to school, swallow that, that he would shoot
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: his teacher. But the video from the police officer who
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: showed up in the aftermath of this shooting of the
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: six-year-old and the stream of profanities that come out of
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: this kid's mouth. The defiance this six-year-old kid displays toward
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: law enforcement officers. The seemingly unlimited number of F-bombs that
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: came out of his mouth directed toward the teacher as
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: well as the police officer. It is just... Well, I
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: say impossible. Try to get your head around it if
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: you're able to. It's right there at 55KRC. iHeart. com and recommend
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: you do that. And I only bring that up kind
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: of as a pivot to this whole Lindsay Clancy concept
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: where a mom can kill her three kids. And but
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: for one juror, she'd be free to walk in essence.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: And I know that she would have been in a
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: mental institution or something because she admitted to murdering them.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: So it's a question of whether she was of sane,
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: sound mind before she murdered them. So was it reasonable?
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: One guy said, yeah, I'll tell you what, she's guilty.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: I don't buy into this psychological nonsense that she couldn't
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: appreciate good from bad, right from wrong at the time
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: she murdered her kids. And there was some evidence to
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: suggest she planned it. But the idea that anybody would
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: murder their children, it's almost impossible to believe unless you know, wow,
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: they were crazy when they did that. Who does that? Well,
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: apparently a lot of mothers do this. And whatever happened
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: to the value of life, the respect for life, and
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: it's all this, oh, my God, she was psychologically traumatized.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: What about the children? You're excusing murder because life is stressful?
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: North Texas mother now facing what they say a trio
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: of charges after the North Lake Police Department said she
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: assaulted her husband and then stabbed her two children. Happened
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday. According to a policeman called 911, said his wife,
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: Holly Leanne Flores, had a knife and stabbed him, but
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: then they said she stabbed his two kids. They got there.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: They found the two children inside, a three-year-old girl, 10-month-old boy.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: Both had stab wounds in their chest, were rushed to
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: the hospital for treatment. August 10th, this year, 22-year-old Kaylee Earhart,
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: police quote, found the bodies of her three children, all
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: of whom had cuts across their necks. Earhart's three-year-old and
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: her five-month-old pronounced dead in local hospitals. The one-year-old survived
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: after ongoing surgery. August 13th, this year, Abilene Toddler, the
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: city of Abilene Toddler, rushed lifeless It was revealed that
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: her mother, 35-year-old Annam Khan, had strangled her and stabbed
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: her multiple times. September 5th, Corey Walsh, 40 years old, Frankfurt, Illinois,
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: very invested, quote-unquote, in the, oh, look, Lindsay Clancy trial.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: According to the report, she's been charged with murder of
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: her two-year-old son. September 5th, I guess. Her two-year-old son,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: Barrett Walsh, found hanging in the basement while Walsh was
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: in a bathtub upstairs attempting suicide. September 26th, Taylor Gosnell, 35,
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: charged with attempted murder for allegedly stabbing her children, three-year-old
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: and a six-year-old, more than 50 times, in her Spartanburg
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: County home. October 1st, family of four-year-old Vivian Savella, Mourning
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: the death of a little girl after Houston police say
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: she was shot and killed by her mom. Of course,
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: hours after a custody hearing. I'm sure that had nothing
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: to do with it. Police believe Vivian's mom shot her
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: daughter before turning the gun on herself. There's a little
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: happy ending to that one. Hard to believe. No, it's
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: not happy. Nothing here. So what is with it? Are
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: children so much of a burden that you just don't
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: want to deal with it anymore? Maybe adoption. Give them
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: to Child and Family Services. Of course, we all know
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: murdering a baby, as long as that baby's head has
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: not popped out of the womb, if it's still in there,
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: you can kill it, even if it's nine months gestated,
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: fully ready to go to hit the ground running, but
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: for the water breaking and contraction starting. I always love
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: to bring that up when I point out both of
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: my children were born at eight months. And yet, some
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: places in this country, you can kill them. And then
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: this victim status crap. I just don't understand it. Sinus aside, okay, maybe,
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: a little bit, perhaps. Now, fortunately, in pivoting over, I'm
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: glad to read this, but it's also very frightening when
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: you consider we have a real problem in this world. Notably,
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: if we're at war with the Iranians, there are fundamentalist
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: Muslims who have a problem with that. And we have
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: had our experience with fundamentalist Muslims, but also crazy people
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: generally who seek to do harm on us in schools,
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: in malls, in parades. Yeah, they're all over the place,
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: and we've got FBI working on this 24-7. They got one.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: According to newly filed federal court documents, Sheikh Dun Abdullah Mohammed,
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: an 18-year-old from Minnesota, apparently pledged allegiance to ISIS and
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: discussed carrying out a mass shooting at the Mall of America.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: They set him up. He was busted after buying an AK-47, magazines,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: and ammunition from, yes, an undercover FBI employee. According to
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: the press conference, Mohammed met with somebody believed to be
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: a loyal member of ISIS to attempt to purchase an AK-47,
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: knowing it would be used in a felony or federal
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: crime of terrorism. Mohammed planned to use the gun he
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: bought in a high-traffic public area in just a few weeks'
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: time in support of a designated foreign terrorist organization, which
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: of course was ISIS. He'd been charged with knowingly receiving
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: a firearm and ammunition without knowing or having reasonable cause
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: to believe that they would be used to commit a
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: felony or federal crime. Kash Patel had this to say,
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: once again, the FBI is moving more effectively than we've
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: ever had before in stopping terrorists before they can attack Americans.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: With over 1,100 individuals prevented from conducting attacks, 4,000 foreign
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: terrorist organizations related disruptions and arrests, 38% increase and more,
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: we will continue to use every resource we have to
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: direct and prevent acts of terrorism and wipe out their
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: networks all over the country. And he gives praise to
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: the FBI Minneapolis field office for the great work that
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: they did. They said that investigation began in December of 24,
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: involved a confidential human source who communicated extensively with this
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: ISIS fan using encrypted messages, social media platforms. Hey, what
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: are your children doing online? Apparently, they centered originally on
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: Mohammed's allegedly wanting to leave the U.S. and join al-Shabaab.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: Told the source he was so excited to make a hiraj,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: wanted to go to Somalia to get married and fight
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: the enemies of Allah. They started working. He wanted to
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: get enough money for a plane fare, but he said, well,
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: I got to change my plans. I don't have enough
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: money to get to Somalia, so I will do attack here.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: His verbiage, not mine. Started talking about purchasing guns and
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: going to the Mall of America. allegedly discussed attacking the
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: Mall of America with an assault rifle, the AK-47, as
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: I mentioned. He told the source, the FBI informant, he
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: could drive straight to the crowded place and start shooting. So,
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: amid concerns over the politicization of various lettered agencies in government,
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: at least in this particular case, I'm going to give
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: them props. That would be quite an election, a pre-November
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: election surprise, wouldn't it? A massive terror attack. This is
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: what we're up against, folks. Going back to the conversation
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: we had earlier with Congressman Warren Davidson about the immigration,
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: the unchecked, unflowed stream of humanity under the Biden administration,
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: and all these gotaways that we have no idea quite
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: who they are. And then you step back from those,
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: I wonder who they are, and you look at the
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: ones that we have let in and have documented, and
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: then you find out, well, a whole bunch of them
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: are criminals, and some of them are even terrorists.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 3: Great.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: Thank God Donald Trump got elected. 815-55-CARE-CITY-TALK-STATION. It is 819
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: here at 55KRC. com. Don't forget, 55KRC. iheart. com. If you're inclined, check
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: out that six-year-old video that I was talking about. I
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: still can't get over that. My wife and I were
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: just in absolute state of disbelief. But you can find
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: it there along with a podcast. You didn't hear Judge
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: Anapolitano the other day. He's right there. The Phantom, the
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: untold story of the American Marine the Nazi could not kill.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: What a great conversation it was and an amazing story.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: It was one of like thousands and thousands of untold
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: stories out there, but really terrific books. So you can
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: get a copy of that while you're there as well.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: Randy's on the phone. Hey, Randy, thanks for calling this morning.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: Happy Friday Eve to you.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 7: Hey, good morning, Brian.
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 6: How are you?
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 5: Love your show.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: Thank you, man.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 7: You know, 61 years old now. And I'm just wondering
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 7: how long it's going to be before some Democrat senator
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 7: or congressman or even a governor comes up and proposes
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 7: the Lindsay Clancy law and calls it post-birth abortion.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: Well, they're killing people left and right in Canada, right?
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 7: It's crazy.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: Assisted suicide, it's green light all day long until someone's eroded.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's the demise of religion and people no longer
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: believing in a higher power or something that is feeding this,
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: that we're all just a bunch of expendable cockroaches, and
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: why not just kill the kids? Why not? Ah, they're
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: a pain in the ass anyway. That seems to be
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: where we are. I think it is.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 7: Very much to do with it, I believe it wholeheartedly.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: It could very well be.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 3: Appreciate you, man.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: Hey, brother, I appreciate you. Vintage 61 years old. He's
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: my age. Anyhow, what else we got here? How about
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: this one? I was going to have Danny do the
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: plague update theme song, but we need to go down
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: that road. So you've heard about the pneumonic plague. We
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: got one person dead working at a conference similar to
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: the Wuhan Institute of Virology. But this is, of course,
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: in Siberia, Russia. Russian media, and trust me, I'm only
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: bringing this up. Just because it red flagged in my
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: head this, you know what, okay, we know we've confirmed
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: that one person did die. The Russians claim it wasn't
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: pneumonic plague, but the problem with pneumonic plague is because
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: you basically breathe the air the person exhales, and you're
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: going to get it. It's deadly. You can get cured.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: You've got to use the antibiotics or whatever course of
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: treatment they've got that will solve the problem, but it
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: is very deadly. On the heels of COVID, which seems
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: like a moment in time ago, people are a little
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: bit concerned. Well, look, Russian media, at least one outlet,
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: reporting that a second person has died in the Irkutsk region,
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: which is exactly the place where that other 28-year-old researcher
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: at the anti-plague laboratory died. Russian media claims a second
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: individual died in that area. Second death has not been
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: independently confirmed. I'm going to underscore that. Russian authorities haven't
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: yet acknowledged that another person died from the plague, but
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: would you think the Russian authorities would do that? But
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: it's starting to freak people out because they had 200
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: people in contact with the 28-year-old who dropped dead. They
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: were put under medical observation. That suggests the Russians were
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: pretty damn concerned that this was perhaps a plague that
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: got released out into the world. We live in a
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: world where they are doctoring and modifying the genes in
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: these things to make them more contagious, to make them
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: immune from whatever medical treatment that you can get that
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: would save your life. No, let's genetically engineer it so
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: people won't live. On the heels of talking about the
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: erosion of the value of life. I understand our hands
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: aren't clean on this. I know we did chemical research
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: and nerve agent research and the Russians did it. You
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: could go on and on and on. This is the
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: danger that exists in the world. But a hard lesson
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: was learned out of COVID. I guess maybe bringing this
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: up just to say we were there at the outset.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: I remember when it was one person. Go back to COVID.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: How quickly did it come out of the Wuhan lab
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: and spread to the world? It seems like just a
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: moment in time. So if you're a prayerful person, if
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: I can say the word correctly, which I'm having a
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: struggle doing this morning, you might want to ponder this one.
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: And try to elect better officials, too. I know you
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: don't have that ability in Russia or China. But I
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: don't trust any of them. And I sure as hell
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: don't want to go through anything remotely like COVID. But
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: if this is a real thing, it's going to make
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: COVID look like just a plain old head cold for everybody.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: 8.30 on a Friday eve. Love this time. On the
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: 55KRC Morning Show, the return of iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Ratliff. Jay,
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: welcome back, my friend. I always love having you on
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 6: The pleasure is always mine, my friend.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Hey, if you've got a couple minutes today,
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: I know it's not on your list of topics, but
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: a headline from the Wall Street Journal, I believe October
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: 7th dateline, rogue pilots have become one of the biggest
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: threats to airline safety. These nutcases that are committing suicide
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: and taking the whole plane with them for whatever motivated reason,
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: I find it hard to believe. That's one of the
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: biggest threats, but the article gives you pretty decent detail
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: on breaking down the numbers. With the pilot shortage, I
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: guess you get desperate times call for hiring pilots who
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: are emotionally and mentally unstable.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 11: Well, you know, the Wall Street Journal did not check
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 11: in with me before this particular article.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 6: I would have told them, is it an issue? Yes.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 11: I'm far more worried about the million people a month
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 11: that touch airplanes here in the United States on the
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 11: tarmac that are not screened before they get to it.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 6: That's always been one of my.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 11: Biggest issues, plus the security on aircraft that remain overnight.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 11: Those are the two glaring holes, I think, in security
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 11: here in the United States. Now, If we're going to
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 11: talk international world stage, you have a lot of airlines
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 11: that are– some foreign carriers that are growing at just
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 11: incredible rates, and they are hiring pilots quickly. And sometimes
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 11: the vetting process is not as deep as we would like.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 11: You and I discussed that with Pakistan International Airlines a
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 11: number of years ago when a third of their pilots–
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 11: were discovered to have fake pilot license. So when you
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 11: have this kind of scenario taking place, the idea that
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 11: somebody with a terrorist intent could actually get hired, train,
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 11: and then begin flying for an airline with the ultimate
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 11: goal of one day flying that airplane into a target
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 11: of some kind, I mean, it's a real threat. Now,
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 11: is it something that we can spot coming in advance?
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 6: No, normally not.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 11: Now, the two situations that we've had, the fly-to-buy plane situation,
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 11: this guy did have some very radical posts. that were
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 11: out there in social media that was a known event.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 11: That could have been the red flag we needed. The
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 11: German wings flight 11 years ago when the captain left
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 11: the cockpit, co-pilot locked the door and then flew the
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 11: airplane into a mountain, killing everybody on board. That situation,
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 11: the guy had some suicidal tendencies. that were displayed a
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 11: time before but he was cleared to return to service
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 11: so that was a red flag so i think brian
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 11: the things are there that would give us the opportunity
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 11: to maybe not totally prevent this type of thing but
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 11: maybe to see it coming in advance um and certainly
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 11: erring on the side of caution when those situations.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: Arise i'm laughing jay because the entire country of oman
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: refused to let this guy fly he was a security
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: risk and he was flagged by the country You'd think
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: word would have gotten out about that. It might have
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: landed on somebody's lap someplace. Hey, should we issue like
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: an Amber Alert to the rest of the world? This
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: guy's a danger.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 11: You know, there's some people say, well, we can't give
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 11: a bad word.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 6: We would get sued.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 11: Well, you know, the other thing is, yeah, look, I
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 11: don't want Israel to be mad at me ever for anything. So, yeah,
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 11: I don't know that I would be, you know, I
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 11: don't know. The whole situation is just. We didn't see
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 11: it coming, Brian. It's a lot like when the attacks
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 11: of 9-11 happened.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 6: We were on alert. We knew it was Obama.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 11: We knew something or Obama, bin Laden, excuse me, was
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 11: going to attack in some sort of spectacular fashion. We
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 11: were getting our monthly updates, but we thought. surface-to-air missiles,
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 11: bombs and luggage, something. But when it happened, it was
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 11: a totally different scenario than what we had anticipated. And
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 11: this same sort of situation as well. Now we have
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 11: to step back and say, how many other pilots are
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 11: flying for other airlines around the world, with the intent
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 11: that when they have the opportunity, they're going to crash
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 11: that airplane into a target.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 6: It's a real thing.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: They may just be waiting for the command to do
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: just that. It's like sleeper cells.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 11: Well, and then the idea is, okay, as an airline,
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 11: how do you prepare your pilots for that eventual possibility
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 11: that the person you're flying with is going to try
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 11: to take over the airplane? Now, here in the United States,
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 11: when a pilot leaves the flight deck to go to
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 11: the laboratory, the lead flight attendant steps in and the
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 11: door shuts. You always have two people in the cockpit.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 11: Other airlines adopt that same policy. In fact, after the
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 11: German wings thing 11 years ago, most carriers did. So
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 11: at least you've got a second person there. But if
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 11: that person was unsuspecting, was easily overcome, or somebody could
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 11: knock them out or whatever, then they've got, again, the
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 11: cockpit to themselves.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 6: Now we have a total.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 11: fortress of a reinforced cockpit door dog on it that
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 11: we put in there that nobody could get in that
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 11: we can't get into in the event of an emergency. Oh,
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 11: it's just one thing after another as far as the
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 11: scenario here.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 6: And look, back to that fly Dubai thing.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 11: Thank God the pilot, the captain, was able to, as
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 11: he was being attacked, bloodied and beaten with that crash accident,
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 11: he could reach up, unlatch and open that door so
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 11: others could come in and render aid if that did
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 11: not happen. the Israelis would have blown that airplane out
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 11: of the sky before it was able to hit its
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 11: target because they already knew because of the transponder that
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 11: the captain was somehow able to activate that they were
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 11: under a hijacking situation.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 6: That told everybody, we've.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 11: Got a problem, we have a serious problem, and if
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 11: that airplane doesn't respond, yes, we could have had a very,
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 11: very serious situation.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: No doubt about it. And that was the first of
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: many miracles, like a plane going the speed of sound
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: that wasn't designed to go that fast, pulling out in action. Oh,
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: Jay Ratliff. Don't go away. He's been in the aviation
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: industry basically his entire life. Jay Ratliff, I heard, media
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: aviation expert and stock trader extraordinaire. I always like to
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: put in a plug for you on that one, Jay.
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it. You can find it at Day Trade Fund.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: Jay has a fun time trading stocks. So anyway, he's
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: got a great method to do it too. Let's pivot over.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: Let me randomly select number seven from your list. American
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: Airlines forced to land over what is described here as
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: a potty emergency.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 3: Jay?
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 11: Yeah, they were taking that stuff seriously because it was
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 11: a Madrid to Dallas flight. 287 passengers on board, about
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 11: a 10-hour flight. Six of the eight lavatories stopped working.
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 7: Oh, no.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 11: Yeah, not the kind of thing you want to have
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 11: on an international flight. They didn't declare an emergency, but
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 11: they did request priority handling as they came into New York.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 11: They were able to land. They got the lavatories repaired.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 11: It took like three hours, and then they continued.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 6: On to Dallas.
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 11: One or two lavatories in op, that is not a
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 11: no-go item. They could continue to operate. But when you're
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 11: down that many with that number of passengers, no, no, no,
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 11: not going to happen. So they were able to land. And,
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 11: of course, when you're over the Atlantic and something like
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 11: this happens, you know, it's like, okay, is Iceland nearby?
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 6: Are we going to land in Greenland?
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 11: I mean, you've got these different places that you might
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 11: be able to, depending on the positioning of the aircraft.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 11: But they were close enough to the United States, came in, landed,
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 11: and got that fixed. And I suspect that a lot
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 11: of passengers on board were glad.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 6: That that took place.
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God, yeah. Jeez Louise.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 11: Not the worst lavatory story, but since it's breakfast time,
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 11: I'm not going there, but I'm just saying that I'm
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 11: glad they took care of this.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: Just imagine how overwhelmed the lone bathroom was by the
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: time they landed that plane. Anyhow, it makes me uncomfortable
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: just even imagining I'm stuck in that circumstance, Jay. Another
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: reason I might want to avoid flying. Excuse me. Excuse me.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: Now let's start all over.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 6: Jay. I could have kept talking. I'm sorry.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: It sucks to be us. It's a United flight to nowhere.
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: What do you get in compensation when they don't do
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: anything for you after making you sit around for half
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: a day, Jay Ratliff?
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 11: Well, they had a United flight, an international flight. They're
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 11: getting ready to leave, and they had a light issue
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 11: in the cockpit. Okay, so they call maintenance in. They
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 11: spend some time. They finally get it fixed. Then thunderstorms
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 11: roll in.
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 6: Okay. Then we can't go anywhere.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 11: Well, then the flight's delayed so much that the pilots
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 11: time out. So they have to bring in a replacement crew.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 11: And they're like, okay, finally that happens. And then the
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 11: tug won't work. Now, I'm thinking at a certain point
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 11: you reach the, this flight is destined.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 6: To go nowhere. Right.
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 11: But, yes, after 12 hours, you said nights is enough.
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 11: Took care of the passengers, put them overnight, and as
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 11: kind of the compensation, it was $ 175. And I suspect
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 11: that people probably were expecting a little bit more than that,
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 11: having been on that airplane longer than the 10-hour flight
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 11: time it was going to take to get.
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 6: I think that was an eight-and-a-half-hour flight time. So, yeah.
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 11: You were on there four hours longer than the flight
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 11: would have been, and you went absolutely nowhere. So typically
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 11: they'll throw a few freaking flyer miles at you to
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 11: kind of appease you, knowing that most people aren't going
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 11: to use those miles. It's like giving people a check
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 11: that they know that most of them aren't going to cash.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 11: It's kind of a hollow apology.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: It seems to be. Knowing that, if that's kind of
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: where people are in default mode, they might as well
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: make it a little bit more, at least visually. How
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: about $ 250? Maybe take less of the sting out of it.
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 11: Because a lot of times they understand problems happen. And
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 11: in customer service, and you know this, it's how a
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 11: company responds when they drop the ball because everybody's going
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 11: to make a mistake. And that's really, I think, when
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 11: companies have the opportunity to shine. When they make a
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 11: mistake and you see how they recover from that or respond,
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 11: that tells me what a company is all about.
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: Amen to that. Paul, we'll bring him back and we'll
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: talk about things like, oh, I don't know that guy
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: and don't be that guy. Making me rethink my belief
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: that the death penalty, that the government shouldn't be able to, well,
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 1: kill people. As penalty, maybe this should be an exception.
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: It is 849-55-KRCD Talk Station, Friday Eve. One more segment
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 1: here with iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Ratliff. Jay Ratliff, don't
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: be that guy. I mean, I saw this disruptive passenger
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: not getting off the airplane, ruining everybody else's lives. You know,
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: this makes me rethink my opposition to the death penalty.
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 1: I'm just kidding on that. But Lord Almighty, these people
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: are just, I don't understand.
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 11: Well, it's like people that upgrade themselves because the plane's
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 11: about to leave. Nobody's sitting in that first class seat.
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 6: I go sit in it. And they go up and
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 6: sit in it and refuse to leave.
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 11: And in this case, you had a passenger that was
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 11: in the wrong seat on a frontier flight. It was
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 11: discovered he was politely asked to relocate to another seat.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 11: He refused to do so.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 6: Not going to do it. Well, they asked and asked.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 11: And in the old days, we would simply have law
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 11: enforcement come on the plane, talk to the person involved.
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 6: And if needed.
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 11: assist them out of their seat, and assist them off
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 11: the airplane. Well, after we had the United Airlines doctor
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 11: dragging flight with all the pictures and everything else, because
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 11: it was the same thing. He was told to leave
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 11: the aircraft, refused to do it. So now what we
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 11: do is we leave that one person there. and we
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 11: take every single other person off the plane, get them off,
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 11: and then law enforcement can come in and do whatever
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 11: law enforcement needs to do, absent of a zillion cameras, recorders,
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 11: and anything else that might be blasted all over social
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 11: media when the event takes place. So because of that,
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 11: the individual did leave, but caused an incredibly long delay.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 11: They'll be banned from flying Frontier forever, as they should,
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 11: but they'll be allowed to fly on any of the
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 11: other U.S. carriers since They don't share that information, which
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 11: is unfortunate. But, yeah, all it takes is one person.
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 11: It didn't only delay that flight. But keep in mind,
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 11: if that's an hour delay, all told, well, now you've
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 11: got an aircraft that is supposed to be coming back
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 11: from another city.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 6: Well, that flight's going to be delayed.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 11: And if it's one of the first flights of the day,
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 11: every flight, the segment that aircraft's scheduled to operate is
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 11: now going to be running late, all because of one person,
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 11: hundreds and hundreds of people impacted.
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 3: See?
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 1: Don't be that guy. What is it? What is with the– well,
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: let's go over the man at John Wayne Airport. Let's
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: do number two on the list here.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 11: Well, I think if we had Pee Wee Herman music,
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 11: this would work out great because it fits. Because this
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 11: guy is a Delta passenger waiting to flight. He goes
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 11: through one of the security doors, the kind you push
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 11: on 30 seconds later it opens, and he's out on
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 11: the ramp.
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 6: And here comes.
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 11: Law enforcement trying to track him down. Well, I know
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 11: I'll jump on a tug and get away. Well, this
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 11: is one of those tugs that go like five miles
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 11: an hour. So the idea that he's going to outrun
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 11: the police is not going to happen, and it's very clear,
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 11: very fast.
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 6: He picked the wrong getaway vehicle.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 11: So then he jumps into, appropriately, a lavatory truck, the
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 11: one that we use to dump the labs, and he
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 11: tries to take off in that.
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 6: Well, again, not too much further.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 11: He's apprehended and taken to a hospital for very much needed,
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 11: I believe, mental health examination to see exactly what's going
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 11: on before he faces whatever charges he's going to be facing. Obviously,
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 11: trespassing a fine from the FAA, Delta Airlines might say, look,
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 11: if this was supposed to be our passenger, he's not
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 11: going to be flying us ever. So he's banned from
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 11: flying Delta.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 6: That may happen.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 11: So, yeah, it just, it was, if you're watching it
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 11: from up top, because you can watch everything from the airport, Brian,
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 11: it would almost be like.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 6: A comedy skit.
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 11: You know, I'm going to jump on this tricycle and
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 11: outrun this police officer that's on a motorcycle.
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 1: It's like the OJ low speed chase.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 11: Somebody got hurt, delayed a couple flights, but if you
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 11: had some popcorn, sit back and watch.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: You mentioned Pee Wee Herman music, and in my mind,
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: I'm hearing Yakety Sax. You know what I'm saying? All right.
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 6: Well, let's pivot over.
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: Why in the hell would they want anybody to be
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 1: able to order their meal in advance on an American
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 1: airline flight? I'm usually thinking airline or airplane food sucks
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: to start with. You give what choices between two sucky alternatives,
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: so you let them know in advance?
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 11: Well, American Airlines and Coach have been talking to their customers,
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 11: and it's always good when you do that, to find
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 11: out what can we do to improve things. And I
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 11: don't know if we would call it meals. Maybe more
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 11: food would be an appropriate term where the idea is
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 11: if you want one of the wraps that they have
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 11: or a certain cheese plate or something like that. And, Coach,
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 11: you can actually order it 20 to like seven days
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 11: in advance so that they know that you as a
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 11: passenger is going to want that when they get on
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 11: there in hopes that they don't run out. Because a
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 11: lot of times they'll give a menu to a passenger
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 11: and they'll be like, well, I like this or this.
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 6: Sorry, I had both of them.
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 11: And American thought, man, it's difficult for us to try
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 11: to anticipate what customers would like.
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 6: So instead, let's.
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 11: Ask them so we can order that, have ample supplies
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 11: of whatever dish so that when it's requested, we have enough.
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 11: And I think that that's a really good idea. American
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 11: Airlines and others are really trying to use the IT
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 11: side of things to try to help passengers to have
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 11: a more pleasant experience. America needs every single repeat customer
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 11: they can get. And the thought is if we can
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 11: take care of people this way, it might work well.
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 11: It's like United has an app now that if your
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 11: flight's canceled and they've got to wait list you on
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 11: another flight, they'll wait list you on three different flights.
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 11: And whichever one clears first, you get to go on.
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 11: It used to be just one flight, pick it and
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 11: good luck on it. Now it's three flights. So all
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 11: this technology, if it's American, Delta, United, they're always looking
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 11: for ways that they can try to make our travel
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 11: experience a little bit more maybe stress-free in certain regards,
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 11: and I like the direction they're going.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: Well, and that benefits them, too, because they're not facing
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 1: an angry mob, right?
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 11: It's the stay away from the counter app, and we'll
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 11: take care of you.
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: We've got an app for that. Go over there. Go
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: sit in the corner.
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 6: We don't want to talk to you.
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: It's better than anything I, as a human being, could
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: have delivered for you. So go over and use the app.
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: Jay Ratliff, we always end with hub delays when we
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 1: can get them in. Let's find out how it's looking
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 1: out there to fly today.
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 11: Nothing today, Brian, but I do think the issue is
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 11: obviously in the Gulf Coast. We're looking at some really
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 11: serious weather, getting ready to hit the Gulf Shore there,
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 11: New Orleans. Maybe Houston might get a glancing blow.
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 6: We'll keep an eye on that through the weekend.
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 11: But if you're scheduled to fly through the south, especially
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 11: the Gulf area this weekend, make sure the airlines have
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 11: a way to get a hold of you.
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 1: Jay Radliff, best of health and much love to you
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 1: and your better half. We'll do this again next Thursday.
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 1: I'm already looking forward to it, my friend. Have a
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 1: great week between now and then.
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 6: You too.
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 5: Thanks.
