• 0:26
  Speaker 1: old that was tested positive for meth after allegedly consuming
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: it as a daycare ran by a local elected official?
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: The Minnesota Department Human Services ordered an immediate temporary suspension
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: of the daycare because a mom was speaking out after
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: her three year old son tests a positive up for
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: meth after coming home from the daycare. Did you hear

  Speaker 1: about the Victoria Kane had received a call from her
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: son's at home daycare provider letting her know that he
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: had vomited and needed to be picked up, and while
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: they were riding home, she noticed her son's unusual behavior.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: He talked the whole ride home, which was out of
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: character for him, so he would not stop talking and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: was fidgeting these so she decided to take into the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Children's Minnesota in Mindieapolis, and an hour later they got
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the results back. They came back as relates to meth
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: being in his system during his intoxicated state. Kaine says
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: her son mentioned eating onion crumbs in the daycare's bathroom,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and her and her husband didn't know what to make
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: of that statement. They did some research and learned that
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: look resembled a small piece of onion. And the mom
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: said that she trusted that elected official because she was
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: like a mom tour. But when she learned what had
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: happened to her son under her care, that lady's care,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: that elected officials' care, it changed. Seniors, Have you heard
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: some things that you should know about the Medicare advantage
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: plan that you're not sure is right for you? Because
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you remember now from January the first through March the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: thirty first, twenty twenty five, the enrollment is open. Medicare
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: advantage plans are offered by private companies, and they can
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: be different from original Medicare and from each other when
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: it comes to you know, key things like in network coverage,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: out of pocket costs, and referral policies for specialists. Have
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you heard about it? Do you know that you're able
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to switch from your current Medicare advantaged plan to another
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: one which can also drop your Medicare advantage plan and
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: return to original Medicare and join a separate Medicare drug plan.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Did you know about that? You sure? Have you confirmed
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: what you're really getting? Are you keeping records? Are you
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: getting any type of help comparing your Medicare costs, coverage
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and plans? Why not? And if you think you made
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the wrong plan choice because an agent broke on an
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: agg gave you some misleading information, then go ahead, put
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the pride aside and call one eight hundred Medicare and
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: tell them what happened so that they can share what
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: options you have. Did you hear about the urgent warning
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: that's been issued to more than one million Americans after
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the medical records were stolen in a data breach. You
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: haven't heard. A community health center that's based in Connecticut
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: began emailing one million with sixty nine hundred and thirty
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: six patients to let them know that it found a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: skilled criminal hacker had got into the system and took
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: some data. Your data, Your data, Your data which might
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: include your personal information, you know, like your data, birth
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: your name, your address, phone number, email which you was
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: treated for, the details, the results of your test, your
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: social Security number, and health information. You know all that
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: which is private. Did you know that it occurred October
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to twenty October fourteenth, twenty twenty twenty four? You know
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: it's February twenty twenty five. Did you know that it
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: impacted current and former patients and all individuals who have
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: received a COVID test or vaccine at one of their clinics.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Did you hear about it? Well, Murphy Law Firm is
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: currently investigating the breach to determine if a class acts
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and lawsuit can be filed against CHC. But in the meantime,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: those cyber criminals may have already placed your information for
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: sale on the dark web or using information to perpetrating
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: identity theft using you did you hear about it? How
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: about those scammers who are lying and pretending to be
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: somebody there or not just to trick you into giving
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: them money or have access to your accounts or your
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: personal information. And what they're doing they're pretending to be
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: from a business that you know about them, from a
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: government agency and sometimes from both. Recently they had involved
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a scheme that they were claiming to be the FTC,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you know, Federal Trade Commission chairman. And what they do
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: They often to start with an unexpected call or message
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: about some type of problem like a ledged suspicious purchase
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: on your Amazon account, or maybe there's been a virus
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: on your computer or an account breach. And then what
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the scamera do they transfer you to somebody to they
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: claim is what the government can probably help you with
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the problem, and think about it. They even go to
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: greatness to gain your trusts. And some of them make
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: up government agency names that sound real but they're not,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and others impersonate real government agencies, including the Federal Trade Commission.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: And some of these skimmer use up made up employee
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: names and fake employee ID badges, while others have the
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: nerve to use the names of real FTC officials. Think
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: about that, but irrespectful of who they say they are.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: They don't work for the government. They're not there to
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: help you. They're in on the scam. So just remember,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: if you get an unexpected call or message about a
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: problem with one of your accounts and you think it
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: could be real, once you go ahead, lay your pride aside,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: verify the story, go ahead and contact your bank or
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: your broker, or your investment advisor or your credit card company.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: You don't use the number you find or your account statement,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: or go ahead and log into your account, but don't
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: whatever you do, don't use contact information that you've got
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: in an unexpected message or the call, and why you're
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: doing it. Go ahead and report that imposture scam and
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: other attempts to steal your money a personal information to
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the FTC at Report Fraud dot FTC dot gov. Go ahead,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and while you're doing it, did you receive a one
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: ring cell phone call? You did? Did you ask the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: question who's calling now? Did you take a look at
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the number and do you recognize that the number didn't
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: ring a bell? Well, thedn't hold the phone, says the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Federal Trade Commission. You know why because you could be
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: a potential victim of the growing one ring cell phone
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: scam that's been in existence known existence since twenty fourteen.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Now you know it's twenty twenty five. And what they do,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the scammers, they use these auto dieters to call your
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: cell phone number across the country. And what happened is
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: they let the phone ring once just that's enough for
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: a miscall message to pop up on your phone. Because
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: what they're doing, they're hoping you call them back because
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: you believe a legitimate call was cut off, or you'll
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: be curious about who called. If you do, the chances
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: are you're gonna hear something like hello, you've reached the operator.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Please hold. And while you're holding, guess what they're doing.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: They're making sure that permitted charges. Especially from an international standpoint,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: it's being raked up on your phone. And if you
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: really pay attention to the numbers, there are three digit
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: area codes. They look like they're from inside the United States,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: and some of them actually are, but they're really associated
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: with international phone numbers, often in the Caribbean. So again,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: but prior to side, don't pick it up when a call.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Don't call the number back. There's no danger in getting
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the call, the dangers in calling back. All of a
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: sudden you look around and your phone buildess one billion dollars.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Then you know them exaggerary with the amount. But if
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: you're attempted a call back, do yourself a favor and
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: check the number through your directories first, your online directories,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: because they can tell you whether the phone number is registered,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: and if you've already been a victim, try to resolve
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the charges with your cell phone carrier. If that doesn't
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: work for other complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: the Federal Communications Commission. Okay, you sure all right? We
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: know time is running out down for millions of Americans
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: affected by another data breach to claim their share of
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: a large settlement. Victims. Maybe that's you of the Arthur J.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Gallagher and Company data breach, which exposed sensitive personal information.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: You have now until February the tenth to submit your
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: claim for up to six thousand dollars the Arthur J.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Gallagher and Company global insurance brokerage and risk management firm.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: They reached a twenty million dollar twenty one million dollar
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: settlement following the breach that compromised data from June to
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: third to September the twenty sixth two thousand and twenty.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Now you knows two thousand and twenty five. And the
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: reason why it matters, it's because the breach not only
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: exposed sense of the data, but look how long it
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: took the company to notify the affected customers. Think about
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: that delay could have compounded the risk of adenity theft
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: in fraud. Nearly three point five million people were impacted
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: by the data breach, which included social security numbers and
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: credit card information. And you gotta understand. I remember I
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: used to put out a while helping the poor, the helpless,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the hurting, the hopeless, the homeless, a newsletter called just
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the Facts Facts, and it talked about all these things
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and talked about how you can be helped and so
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: forth and so forth and so forth. But I put
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: these out disinformation for you and you and you, you know,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: having been a victim, and continues the individuals trying to
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: do a dentity theft have done adnity theft, have used
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: you know, pretending like they were employees and all of
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: that stuff. And you wish that individual you know, entities,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: including state governmental bodies, we'll let you know when that
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: is happening to you. You have some of them. They'll
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: wait twelve thousand years just to let you know. One
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: of the things I am personally appreciative of now I
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: don't mind saying that is other different agencies within the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: federal government that have always notified me to let me know.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't twelve billion years later. Did you hear
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: about the East Hampton officials that's reassuring the wealthy residents
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: that police officers won't deport illegal migrant maids landscapers and nanny's.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I want you to think about that. The East Hampton
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: government officials, you know, individuals with temporary titles, it should
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: be held accountable. Think about aren't you being held accountable
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: where you live? You live it you live in, whether
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: it's township, local, state, federal, province wise, village wise. But
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the government officials are trying to quell wealthy residents' fears
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: that the local police could deport ill legal migrants from
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: their tony town and many of whom work as maids,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: landscapers and nannies to support the luxurious lifestyles of the
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: well off locals. Do you hear about that? Village and
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: town leaders held a not just a meeting, a special
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: community meeting to assure citizens of Long Island's exclusive navee,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: where the medium property value is two million dollars, and
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: that their hired help are not on their radar when
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: it comes to importation. Are you listening to this? I
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: want you to think about that, and I don't you
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: honestly look at the motives of individuals who come along
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: talking about I want to help you. What's your motive?
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: A Connecticut middle school teacher who was fired from her
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: classroom for refusing to take down a crucifix that she's
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: long displayed near her death. Has sued school district leaders,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: accusing him of violating her rights to free speech and
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: religious expression. The teacher, Marisol Rio Castro, a seventh grade
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: teacher at Dealertteau Elementary and Middle School. She's been an
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: employee for more than twenty years and it's hung the
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: same CRUCIFIXI near her death in her classroom for a decade.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Do you notice during that time nobody said anything? Again,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: we come back to motives, So what is the motive?
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: What was the motive or whoever the person was? And
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: it turned out to be one person. I wonder if
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: they revealed themselves, you know, because you know that the
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: accused have a right to meet their accuser. But school
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: leaders directed her to remove the crucifix after receiving a complaint.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: But what appears to be another employed and the superintendent,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Tony Cash, reclaimed in an email that allowing Castro to
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: keep the crucifix displayed near her death and fringes on
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: the religious freedom of our diverse student population. Oh okay,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: now blaming on the student. But what if in reality,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the person that made the complain or the superintendent. And
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying here, I don't know, but what if
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: they're hiring their own belief system, maybe their non belief system. Well,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: hopingy the motives will be found out, but in the meantime, Castro,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: who refused to take down the cross, has been suspended
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: for insubordination, and her lawyers, with a public interest law
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: firm that defends religious freedom and the Wilmer Held Law Firms,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: send a letter to the district leaders last month demanding
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: that Castro be reinstated and be allowed to continue to
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: displaying the CRUCIFIXX by her desk. So far they've declined
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: to do so, and that's probably because they're waiting for
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the course of design. Jeff King over at the International
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Christian Concern he shared how that a respected fifty four
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: year old leader of the Celestial Church of Christ in
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Nigeria was shot during the morning service by gunmen reportedly
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: affiliated with the Cook group targeting Christian committees. You've heard
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: me talk about this the last couple of years. Again,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Christians internationally and in the United States continually being persecuted
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: and harassed and targeted at what's the motive? But especially
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: in Nigeria. Pray for peace and comfort for the pastor's
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: loved ones and for the authorities to catch those who
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: committed the act. And then also pray for those who
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: committed the actor they come to know Christ in their
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: life and change from the inside out. Did you hear
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: about the pastor over in China who had been sentenced
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: the two years in prison that is now scheduled to
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: be released in May because they had already served more
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: than eighteen months, and Pastor Dean joins four other members
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: of his house church who had been in prison for
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: charge of ties to the church's publications, including think about It.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Those of you who take this for granted daily Bible
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: readings and interpretations which were sold and distributed to locals,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: pray for all the unjust charges against this group to
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: be dropped and pray for their fellowship to stay strong
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: in their faith and for the encouragement of Christian prisoners
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: across China and then over in India you get a
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Christian evangelist couple that were convicted for the mass conversion
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: of a delay community members under the anti conversion of law.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: And by the way, is the first time that such
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: a conviction has occurred in India. Pray for the charges
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: against this couple to be dropped and for anti conversion
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: of laws in India to be overturned. And while you're
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: doing that, pray for the protection of India's Christian minority community.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: That's important. And the closing verse for the day in
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Psalm fifty nine, verse sixteen, But I will sing of
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: your power. Yes, I will sing a loud of your
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: mercy in the morning, for you have been my defense
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: and refuge in the day of my trouble.
