0:10
Speaker 1: to having a couple of days off. And I know
0:12
Speaker 1: you're in good hands. Gary Joff Walker covers for me
0:14
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning, and then you get Dan Carroll on Monday.
0:16
Speaker 1: Hold on that pause thanks to the cough button. It's
0:22
Speaker 1: five o'clock. Didn't realize what was going on in my
0:24
Speaker 1: throat to you open your mouth and start talking. That's
0:27
Speaker 1: reality for me and I love hearing from you. Maybe
0:29
Speaker 1: you want to respond to Thank you, Joe respond to
0:32
Speaker 1: the government opening. Yay, we're back on track five one, three, seven,
0:37

0:49
Speaker 1: Friday Dave Hatter Today, Wow, that is awesome. Thanks Joe
0:53
Speaker 1: for lyning up Dave. Thanks Dave for doing it early Today.
0:56
Speaker 1: User revives dead smart vacuum custom hardware Internet of things
1:04
Speaker 1: devices Entering into the conversation again with Dave had a
1:06
Speaker 1: bluetooth exposing millions of vehicles to remote code execution. That
1:12
Speaker 1: sounds sinister. Plus artificial intelligence agents get office tasks wrong
1:17
Speaker 1: about seventy percent of the time. So the human element
1:20
Speaker 1: apparently is still necessary in certain cases, although more and
1:23
Speaker 1: more these days we're learning were not necessary. Congressman Warren
1:26
Speaker 1: Davidson seven to oh five with Congressman Davidson returns talk
1:29
Speaker 1: about the shutdown being over, Now what do we do?
1:32
Speaker 1: The Epstein files are coming out. I got a couple
1:34
Speaker 1: of comments on that. Isn't it funny if you've seen
1:36
Speaker 1: all the articles about all the documents that just came
1:38
Speaker 1: out when they voted on the discharge petition, And it
1:41
Speaker 1: was pointed out that, you know, just because the discharge
1:43
Speaker 1: petition was voted on, it doesn't mean Donald Trump's got
1:46
Speaker 1: ultimately signed in lot. It's got to go through the
1:47
Speaker 1: Senate like any other piece of legislation. So okay, you're
1:51
Speaker 1: going to force the vote and release in the Epstein files. Ultimately,
1:54
Speaker 1: maybe it doesn't, I mean, it doesn't ultimately end up
1:57
Speaker 1: in some legal mandate to release them. Where in the
2:02
Speaker 1: hell did all the ex Epstein documents come from in
2:04
Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours, Joe, have you noticed that Democrats,
2:07
Speaker 1: you know, released like two documents suggesting Donald Trump at
2:11
Speaker 1: least since spent some quiet time with one of the
2:14
Speaker 1: victims who's already been identified as the All you think
2:22
Speaker 1: is from the same person in the Russian dossier, the
2:25
Speaker 1: Steele dossier, you know, but the Gumphrey girl, the one
2:31
Speaker 1: that killed herself, had already been sworn and testified under
2:36
Speaker 1: oath that Donald Trump was really nice and never laid
2:39
Speaker 1: a hand on her. That is the now redacted documents
2:43
Speaker 1: the Democrats have rolled out to suggest Donald Trump was
2:45
Speaker 1: implicated in all this. And I was talking to my
2:48
Speaker 1: wife about this last night. I said, I'm not worried
2:52
Speaker 1: that there's really anything in there at all. And here's why,
2:54
Speaker 1: because Donald Trump knows what he did and did not do,
3:00
Speaker 1: and he said he never engaged any you know, untoward activities.
3:02
Speaker 1: But he was friends with Epstein for a while. It's noted,
3:05
Speaker 1: and it's been widely recognized that he booted Epstein out
3:08
Speaker 1: and told him he no longer had privileges at his
3:10
Speaker 1: club a long time. This is before Epstein got busted
3:13
Speaker 1: for childborn or whatever. But the timeline reflects there was
3:17
Speaker 1: this cutoff in activity. And so you're going back and
3:19
Speaker 1: looking at these documents. They handpicked two of them to
3:23
Speaker 1: leak to the public. And the person that they're pointing
3:27
Speaker 1: to that apparently spent hours or a couple of hours
3:30
Speaker 1: with Donald Trump alone or whatever the comment was. I mean,
3:33
Speaker 1: I got the quote in here somewhere, but that's the
3:36
Speaker 1: one who's already on record saying he didn't do anything.
3:38
Speaker 1: And now that she's dead, I don't think you can
3:40
Speaker 1: unring the bell of her sworn testimony. So there's no
3:43
Speaker 1: real there there. But what are the twenty thousand documents?
3:46
Speaker 1: And the Republicans leaked out? Huh? I thought we needed
3:50
Speaker 1: some legislation to get this stuff out in the public. Anyway,
3:56
Speaker 1: going back to my point about Trump, I mean, he
3:57
Speaker 1: had said previously multiple times, nothing there, I didn't do anything.
4:01
Speaker 1: I'm innocent, blah blah blah blah blah, And he used
4:03
Speaker 1: to say on the campaign trail before he got elected
4:06
Speaker 1: he wanted to release the documents. Now, if you knew
4:11
Speaker 1: that you actually really did something, that there was some
4:16
Speaker 1: culpability in your record related to Jeffrey Epstein. Would you
4:20
Speaker 1: have been so well pointed in your statements about releasing
4:24
Speaker 1: the documents and professing your innocence. I don't know. I've
4:27
Speaker 1: never had been put in that position. But I don't
4:30
Speaker 1: think the guy with the most attention in the world
4:34
Speaker 1: on him, the guy that wants the highest office in
4:36
Speaker 1: the land, ultimately got it. I can't imagine him going
4:38
Speaker 1: out that far on a limb, knowing if there's something
4:41
Speaker 1: in his background that's probably going to come out, Lord
4:43
Speaker 1: knows what's in the documents, and not fully knowing what's
4:47
Speaker 1: in those documents that you would well take such a
4:50
Speaker 1: stand on it. So, which is really the struggle I
4:53
Speaker 1: had with his reversal of position after getting elected, that well,
4:57
Speaker 1: we're not going to release the Epstein document. So today
4:59
Speaker 1: is finally, I mean, we didn't really have to wait
5:01
Speaker 1: for the day to finally come to deal with the
5:02
Speaker 1: discharge petition or any legislations might come out. The documents
5:05
Speaker 1: are all coming out anyway, suggesting they were all sitting
5:08
Speaker 1: on them. Congressman war Davidson, did you know they were
5:10
Speaker 1: out there? Did you review them? Were you part of
5:12
Speaker 1: the folks that apparently had access to all these documents? Ah?
5:18
Speaker 1: Oh Lord Almighty Empower you some on ar tonight talked
5:21
Speaker 1: about that last night, Donald Emil, the feature speaker. But
5:24
Speaker 1: they do this thing called Take twenty, and tonight's take
5:27
Speaker 1: twenty Eric Conroy, and I had a special request from
5:30
Speaker 1: my friend Steve, who proudly served his country as a
5:34
Speaker 1: career officer in the military. Anyway, Steve, yes, yes, he
5:38
Speaker 1: will be on the show today, Eric Conroy. He's running
5:43
Speaker 1: against Congressman Greg Lansman. This is why peek Steve's curiosity,
5:46
Speaker 1: because Steve's got a problem with Landsman is looking forward
5:49
Speaker 1: to having him replaced, hopefully by elder high school grad
5:52
Speaker 1: Eric Conroy, who well was with the CIA. He was
5:55
Speaker 1: a decorator a Directorate of Operations, served as a case officer,
6:01
Speaker 1: the agency's most prestigious role, managing clandestine operations in the
6:06
Speaker 1: war and dealing with I guess operations in Europe should
6:11
Speaker 1: be fascinating. To get a little glimpse of what is
6:13
Speaker 1: going to be talking about at tonight's seminar, either show
6:15
Speaker 1: up at three hundred Great Oaks drive at the Empower
6:18
Speaker 1: Use seminar, or log in from the convenience to r
6:22
Speaker 1: own hone at Empower Youoamerica dot org. So there's your
6:25
Speaker 1: guest today. Oh, no, one more. This is going to
6:28
Speaker 1: be fun. Thankfully, it's like a Friday. We're going to
6:30
Speaker 1: end the show in a real happy note. I'm sorry
6:32
Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe is not going to be on at eight thirty.
6:34
Speaker 1: It is Thursday. It's his traditional time. And please prayers
6:37
Speaker 1: for Jay Ratliffe, who's going through therapy to deal with
6:40
Speaker 1: his bell's palsy. Hopefully he'll get his speaking ability back
6:42
Speaker 1: with the ground running, hopefully as early as next week.
6:46
Speaker 1: But today we'll still have some fun at ay thirty.
6:48
Speaker 1: Coming to Cincinnati. There's is a little feather in the
6:52
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's cap the twenty twenty five US National Steinholding Championships.
7:01
Speaker 1: Yes there is one of those. We get the finals
7:03
Speaker 1: here in the city of Cincinnati. Joining the program at
7:06
Speaker 1: eight thirty. Mike Kaisel, you know who those German guys
7:10
Speaker 1: are on Facebook. He's one of them. Plus Brett ben Hoffman,
7:14
Speaker 1: he's the executive director of the sincint Regional Sports Commission.
7:17
Speaker 1: That will be at eight thirty. Should be fun in
7:19
Speaker 1: games with that. Joej you ever participated one of the
7:22
Speaker 1: steinholding competitions? Only when I'm drinking. It gets lighter and
7:30
Speaker 1: lighter and lighter very quickly when you're drinking it. So yeah, anyhow,
7:37
Speaker 1: at student observations from Barton Swain, I don't need to
7:39
Speaker 1: dive into the entire op ed piece, but why Schumer
7:43
Speaker 1: had to do it, And I thought this was brilliant
7:45
Speaker 1: because I believe this all day long. So he talked
7:51
Speaker 1: about the government shutdown, generally speaking, draw some parallels, tries
7:54
Speaker 1: to figure out what's behind it. Maybe people are going
7:55
Speaker 1: to blame Donald Trump. Maybe people are going to look
7:57
Speaker 1: and blame Donald Chucky Schumer. But he said, count me
8:01
Speaker 1: skeptical the likely premium increases. This is the the Chucky
8:05
Speaker 1: Schumer falling on the sword to shut the government down
8:08
Speaker 1: in the name of extending these premium increases or these
8:12
Speaker 1: rather subsidies. So Barnes says, you know, count me skeptical.
8:16
Speaker 1: The likely premium increase without subsidies are significant, but not
8:19
Speaker 1: apocalyptic and certainly not worth the political risk of five
8:22
Speaker 1: week shutdown. Are we seriously to believe that mister Schumer
8:25
Speaker 1: and his party felt so strongly about pandemic year emergency
8:30
Speaker 1: funding that they were willing to crash the US government
8:33
Speaker 1: to extend it. He says, Come on, so why did
8:37
Speaker 1: the Democrats do it? He asked. So from the beginning
8:41
Speaker 1: of dispute, everyone seemed to have understood that Schumer's forced
8:43
Speaker 1: the shutdown because he needed to show his states progressive
8:46
Speaker 1: voters that he could take it to mister Trump and
8:48
Speaker 1: so avoid a primary challenge from the left. Maybe AOC says,
8:54
Speaker 1: the Senate Democrat colleagues went along with the shutdown for
8:56
Speaker 1: a parallel reason. The whole quote was about Trump's authoritarianism,
9:03
Speaker 1: close quote, wrote Esracline New York Times Monday, was about
9:06
Speaker 1: showing their base and themselves they could fight back. That
9:09
Speaker 1: said Jad Blanchard of Politico, also, who said Democrats achieved
9:13
Speaker 1: their primary political objectives, showing the furious base that they
9:17
Speaker 1: can actually work together effectively and are prepared to fight
9:20
Speaker 1: with every tool in their arsenal. This is all for show.
9:25
Speaker 1: And here's where he gets to the real point. And this,
9:27
Speaker 1: I think is the same thing. While the Democrats were
9:29
Speaker 1: pulling their hair out over Doge going after USAID, you know,
9:33
Speaker 1: the USAID program that funds transgender movements in Zimbabwe or whatever.
9:38
Speaker 1: Pick your favorite goofy program that you worked to pay for.
9:43
Speaker 1: And why were the Democrats screaming out loud about those
9:45
Speaker 1: cuts of those programs. Many of the ones that came
9:47
Speaker 1: out were totally indefensible, so Martin Swain. But what or
9:56
Speaker 1: who is that base to which Messrs Client and Blanchard
10:02
Speaker 1: refer poke around, you'll find out it consists mainly of
10:06
Speaker 1: cash flesh, foundations, unions, and activist groups. The American Civilities Union,
10:15
Speaker 1: the Sunrise Movement and other environmental and climate groups. Planned
10:19
Speaker 1: Parenthood and other abortion rights outfits. An array of immigrant
10:22
Speaker 1: rights organizations, some of them so radical as to be
10:24
Speaker 1: almost insurrectionists, the American Federation of Teachers, a national education association,
10:30
Speaker 1: the Southern Poverty Law Center, Black Lives Matter and other
10:34
Speaker 1: racial justice organizations, the Human Rights Campaign and a sort
10:38
Speaker 1: of LGBTQ activist groups. Scores of foreign connected, Palestinian rights
10:43
Speaker 1: and otherwise anti Zionist organizations, the George Soros funded network
10:47
Speaker 1: known as the Open Society Foundations, and on and on
10:53
Speaker 1: those groups impacted by the actions of the Republicans in Congress.
11:00
Speaker 1: And of course, what did Schumer and the Democrats appealing
11:03
Speaker 1: to their work base want to do in terms of
11:05
Speaker 1: getting the government back open one point five trillion dollars
11:09
Speaker 1: in additional spending. Plus we're getting excising from the one
11:13
Speaker 1: big beautiful bill. Some of the cash vehicles that these
11:16
Speaker 1: organizations utilize to get an American taxpayer dollars doc taxpayer
11:20
Speaker 1: dollars that are directed there by the Democrats who fund
11:22
Speaker 1: these leftists crazy organizations. But the other point on this,
11:28
Speaker 1: and this is an interesting and excellent observation. He says,
11:30
Speaker 1: this ganglion has no counterpart on the right. All of
11:32
Speaker 1: these groups who are supportive of these leftist crazy causes.
11:38
Speaker 1: He says, there's nothing like the right doesn't have anything
11:42
Speaker 1: like this organization, Heritage Foundation, Coke Network, Turning Point USA,
11:47
Speaker 1: have nothing like the influence over elected Republicans that left
11:50
Speaker 1: wing nonprofits have over Democrat colleagues. This is Harry Reid
11:55
Speaker 1: when he, when he led the Senate Democrats in the
11:57
Speaker 1: twenty tens, delivered many a diet about the Koch brothers
12:01
Speaker 1: supposed hold on the Republican Party. Twenty sixteen, York's Jane
12:04
Speaker 1: Mayer published a fat book making the same allegation. Even
12:07
Speaker 1: the GOPED drifted away from the Koch's libertarian doctrines. The
12:11
Speaker 1: word for what mister Reed and Ms Mayor engaged in
12:16
Speaker 1: is projection, same sort of projection that led Senator Sheldon White,
12:24
Speaker 1: House Democrat wrote Island to indulgent a delusion that the
12:27
Speaker 1: federalist society manipulates American society by some furative scheme of
12:32
Speaker 1: money and influence. Why shouldn't he think so? That's the
12:35
Speaker 1: way things work in his world. Otherwise, smart liberals have
12:39
Speaker 1: for decades assumed that the gun lobby achieved its goals
12:44
Speaker 1: by spending and covert bullying. In fact, gun groups, which
12:49
Speaker 1: contrary to liberal myth, spend less on lobbying than some
12:53
Speaker 1: other industries, only had power because millions of Americans backed
13:00
Speaker 1: their cause. You voluntarily reached into your pocket and you
13:03
Speaker 1: funded the NRI for the work they did, the gun
13:05
Speaker 1: training programs, the fight that they fought for the Second Amendment.
13:09
Speaker 1: They didn't have multi billionaire donors to the extent like
13:12
Speaker 1: Soros is funding these leftist organizations and any pivots over
13:18
Speaker 1: which is pointedly not true of the radical groups currently
13:21
Speaker 1: pushing around Democratic lawmakers. Here's what I love about it.
13:25
Speaker 1: Ordinary Democratic voters weren't clamoring for Schumer to shut of
13:31
Speaker 1: the government, just as they weren't outraged when he chose
13:34
Speaker 1: to keep it open in March. Go further back, rank
13:37
Speaker 1: and file Democrats didn't tell the Biden administration to keep
13:40
Speaker 1: the southern border wide open for three years. They didn't
13:43
Speaker 1: threaten to burn down the twenty twenty four Democratic Convention
13:45
Speaker 1: because the president more or less took Israel's side against
13:48
Speaker 1: Hamas Oh. No, nor did they require liberal politicians to
13:52
Speaker 1: give squishy non answers to questions about men playing in
13:56
Speaker 1: women's sports. These demands issued from progressive nonprofits led by
14:05
Speaker 1: ideologus and staffed by young, busybodies. Liberal politicos frequently accused
14:14
Speaker 1: of Republicans as slavishly catering to the whims of mister Trump.
14:17
Speaker 1: There is some truth to that charge, but Trump will
14:19
Speaker 1: leave office in three years. Progressive nonprofits aren't going anywhere.
14:23
Speaker 1: There's the source of their power and fury, loud, squeaky,
14:26
Speaker 1: really well organized so called non governmental organization, so called nonprofits.
14:32
Speaker 1: Probably every one of the members of their boards make
14:34
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of dollars in salaries. But they're peddling
14:37
Speaker 1: this Marxist, leftist nonsense and it's being done on your back, thankfully.
14:43
Speaker 1: And this is where the outrage from the Dems comes.
14:45
Speaker 1: From those days may be over. Let's excise that kind
14:48
Speaker 1: of expenditure from the federal budget. Make them fend for themselves.
14:52
Speaker 1: How many people are going to write a check to
14:53
Speaker 1: the LGBTQ plus organization that wants some forty five year
14:57
Speaker 1: old man's genitalia because he says he's a gal floating
15:01
Speaker 1: around the locker room with your twelve year old girl
15:04
Speaker 1: five twenty Right now, if you five KRC, the talk
15:06
Speaker 1: stay should be right back. This is fifty five KRC
15:09
Speaker 1: and iHeartRadio Haby FRIDAYE five want three seven four nine
15:14
Speaker 1: fifty two three pound five fifty on eight and T phones.
15:19
Speaker 1: Let's see here, it's a City of Cincinnati voter devance
15:21
Speaker 1: curve curfew for the Coreyville area. I'm just kind of
15:24
Speaker 1: chuckling over this. I mean, I think it's a terrible thing.
15:27
Speaker 1: We've got crime, we have concentrated crimes in certain areas
15:29
Speaker 1: around town, and they're trying to struggle with dealing with
15:31
Speaker 1: this with these curfews. And I guess we have a
15:36
Speaker 1: new two block curfew.
15:39
Speaker 2: Yeah.
15:40
Speaker 1: Curfew ordinance was in the Sinsinne Council Public Safety and
15:42
Speaker 1: Governance meeting the other day and they voted out of committing,
15:47
Speaker 1: and today they're supposed to a vote on a vote
15:49
Speaker 1: on the new curfew area, which is again a two
15:54
Speaker 1: block radius according to you See Police chefl. We had Isaac,
16:00
Speaker 1: former PEP of the Insaint Police Department for him. He's
16:03
Speaker 1: up with the uc now, he said. From talking to
16:05
Speaker 1: both CPD and UCPD officers, they have mentioned that they're
16:08
Speaker 1: seeing a larger than normal amount of juveniles mixed into
16:12
Speaker 1: the crowd. These are later evening hours around short Vine
16:14
Speaker 1: in Coryville, said they've reported teens young as fourteen to
16:17
Speaker 1: fifteen years old in the area. Mom and dad or
16:20
Speaker 1: either of you, where in the hell are you guardians
16:22
Speaker 1: whires your kid out there in the middle of the night. Anyway,
16:26
Speaker 1: So the rules on Shortvine now proposed. They're going to
16:28
Speaker 1: vote on this proposal today, probably will pass. The same
16:31
Speaker 1: as the special curfew district in place in downtown and
16:35
Speaker 1: parts of over the Ride. So anyone under eighteen not
16:39
Speaker 1: allowed in the area during the specified time unless a
16:41
Speaker 1: company by an adult over the age of twenty one.
16:44
Speaker 1: And there of course exceptions of this we've talked about before,
16:47
Speaker 1: like a miner who's exercising First Amendment rights protected by
16:51
Speaker 1: the US Constitution, one of many carve outs. Anyway, according
16:54
Speaker 1: to the ordinance, tees the teams are going to be
16:57
Speaker 1: asked to go home. If they refuse take to a
16:59
Speaker 1: curfew center in the West End, minor could be given
17:01
Speaker 1: a closed referral, which is not a citation or criminal charge,
17:05
Speaker 1: it's a warning. The new proposed short Vine curfew two
17:10
Speaker 1: blocks wide between Daniel Street and Easy East Cory Street
17:17
Speaker 1: two blocks now. I mentioned yesterday I had an agreement
17:21
Speaker 1: with Mark Jeffries on a point, and I have further
17:23
Speaker 1: agreement on a comedy made yesterday speaking with WVX you.
17:26
Speaker 1: I believe I'll give them credit because that's whose article
17:28
Speaker 1: I'm reporting. Part of my question is, okay, we solve
17:32
Speaker 1: these two blocks. Are they just gonna go over to Calhoun.
17:39
Speaker 1: Are they gonna go up to Clifton Gaslight? Are these
17:42
Speaker 1: kids gonna gather the North Side or another neighborhood. It's
17:46
Speaker 1: just a whack a mole game where okay, we solve
17:49
Speaker 1: this and then we're gonna go somewhere else, which was
17:51
Speaker 1: our initial concern with the curfew downtown, that they would
17:53
Speaker 1: just go to another neighborhood. And it looks like that's happening,
17:57
Speaker 1: Yeph the nail on the head there, Mark, So you
18:01
Speaker 1: secured two blocks, they move fifteen feet away from that
18:07
Speaker 1: two block corridor and they're no longer subject to the curfew.
18:11
Speaker 1: That sound right. Feel free to chime in other local
18:14
Speaker 1: stories coming up at bottom of the hour, or it
18:16

Speaker 1: on Monday, and to the phones will go. Tom's on
18:33
Speaker 1: the line, Tom, welcome back. My friend's always going to
18:35
Speaker 1: hear from you.
18:38
Speaker 3: Apologies to those people that don't want to hear from
18:40
Speaker 3: me yet. Tom called in, Oh well you'll.
18:43
Speaker 1: Be all right, so I don't mind it.
18:46
Speaker 3: Tom.
18:47
Speaker 1: You know that it is open phone lines on the
18:49
Speaker 1: fifty five krsee morning show. That you choose to exercise
18:52
Speaker 1: your right as every caller has to go for an
18:56
Speaker 1: open phone bank and grab one of the lines. That's
18:59
Speaker 1: your prerogative, and I'm happy to entertain the conversation we
19:01
Speaker 1: have because I always enjoy it.
19:02
Speaker 3: Tom, that is definitely a very enjoyable, a very enjoyable
19:07
Speaker 3: part of your show.
19:09
Speaker 4: Too.
19:10
Speaker 3: Jeez, to touch on the you don't have a cost
19:12
Speaker 3: on to touch it? Yeah, to touch on the curfew
19:16
Speaker 3: thing real quick. It sounds like what Dean Warmer did
19:19
Speaker 3: an animal house. Oh, they're on probation now, they're on
19:22
Speaker 3: double secret probation. Like whoop do you do? What do
19:25
Speaker 3: you these people when they break the law, they need consequences,
19:29
Speaker 3: not another law that they're going to break anyway. I mean,
19:33
Speaker 3: it doesn't make any sense, but that's that's how democrats
19:37
Speaker 3: do think. Oh let's just make another law.
19:38
Speaker 1: Well pause for a cause for a moment. Does it
19:41
Speaker 1: really even have any teeth if you're trying to change
19:44
Speaker 1: something for the deterrence effect, it gives officers the opportunity
19:48
Speaker 1: to get rid of the underage kids from the area.
19:51
Speaker 1: But they're not suffering any penalty. They're just either told
19:54
Speaker 1: to go home and if they agree to do that,
19:55
Speaker 1: they're let go. They're taking to a detention center where
19:58
Speaker 1: they wait around for mom or dad or someone to
20:00
Speaker 1: pick them up, or they're issued this warning it's not
20:02
Speaker 1: a citation, it's merely a warning. So you know, once
20:05
Speaker 1: word gets out on that and you're contemplating, what is
20:08
Speaker 1: it worth me going up the short Vine and Coryville
20:10
Speaker 1: and hanging out with the older people and getting into trouble? Well,
20:13
Speaker 1: first off, what's the likelihood they're gonna catch me? Second
20:16
Speaker 1: of all, even if they do, what's the big deal?
20:19
Speaker 3: Right? All I got to do is say I'm going home,
20:22
Speaker 3: and I walked to block and I'm good. Yeah. I mean,
20:25
Speaker 3: like you said, there's no teeth to it. It's just words, words, words, wars, streats, streats, stress,
20:30
Speaker 3: wors nothing. I mean, well, I mean they I don't know,
20:33
Speaker 3: it's it's crap. The main reason I called in is
20:36
Speaker 3: because you touched on the subject of how these how
20:39
Speaker 3: these left wing groups stay afloat with our money, and
20:43
Speaker 3: that's the thing I wanted to key on. Yeah, people
20:45
Speaker 3: who are listening. People if you're in a union, and
20:48
Speaker 3: I could speak to this because I've been in a
20:50
Speaker 3: union for twenty eight years now, and if I'm gonna
20:53
Speaker 3: do what I'm doing, I'd rather be in a union
20:55
Speaker 3: than not. I'd make more money. Uh, But you know,
20:58
Speaker 3: we have fride benefit. It's and I got health and
21:01
Speaker 3: welfare benefits. It's not coming out of my check. It's
21:04
Speaker 3: something that my employer pays into a fund on my behalf.
21:08
Speaker 3: It is pre tax or not. It's not even I
21:11
Speaker 3: don't even see it on my paycheck. I get statements monthly,
21:14
Speaker 3: so they they somebody, some group of people makes a
21:18
Speaker 3: decision on how much that is. And I you know,
21:21
Speaker 3: it's it's not cheap. It's not like it's it's, Oh,
21:25
Speaker 3: we get a really great deal. Because there's five thousand
21:28
Speaker 3: carpenters in the area. We're getting a sweet deal. Now
21:31
Speaker 3: we're not. Now it might be better than some of
21:34
Speaker 3: these Obamacare plans, sure, but it's that's a lot of money.
21:38
Speaker 3: I mean it is. I think we're up to U
21:42
Speaker 3: thirteen dollars a month premium something like that. And because
21:46
Speaker 3: we're not writing a check for it, Oh, it's I
21:49
Speaker 3: guess it's no big deal. Well, it's still your money.
21:52
Speaker 3: It's still part of your your wage packet's so if
21:56
Speaker 3: you don't agree with what's going on with your money,
22:00
Speaker 3: what you gonna do about it? You're just gonna turn
22:01
Speaker 3: your head and go, I don't care. It's not coming
22:04
Speaker 3: out of punch check or you know what can you
22:07
Speaker 3: do about it? Well, you can get involved in the
22:09
Speaker 3: union and you could become one of these people that
22:11
Speaker 3: makes these decisions and maybe do something about it. The
22:14
Speaker 3: other thing you can do is is deal with how
22:18
Speaker 3: you vote. If you continue to vote for Democrats, you're
22:21
Speaker 3: going to continue to get this craft because money is
22:24
Speaker 3: what makes the wakes everything go. And so they're getting
22:28
Speaker 3: their money from somewhere and they're taking it from you.
22:31
Speaker 3: They're they're taking it from you. They're they're not like
22:35
Speaker 3: asking you for it, and depending on on donations, they're
22:39
Speaker 3: taking your money. And then they're getting the even more
22:43
Speaker 3: money because they're getting your alleged representatives to give them
22:48
Speaker 3: even more money out of the federal Conference, out of
22:51
Speaker 3: your taxes. Your money is being used to further these causes.
22:55
Speaker 3: And if you're not happy about it, do something about it.
22:59
Speaker 3: Don't vote Democrat. Have a great day, Brian, have a
23:02
Speaker 3: great time off.
23:03
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, I truly appreciate it. Yeah, there's yet
23:06
Speaker 1: another op ed in the sense I enquire for this
23:09
Speaker 1: one from Tracy Gragston, a little upset Bonhill resident. And
23:12
Speaker 1: there you go, and it's the very point that he
23:15
Speaker 1: made that Tracy Gragston is making in this Bonhill's election
23:20
Speaker 1: ballot was the last real bait and switch bond Hill
23:24
Speaker 1: homeowners played themselves. Tracy writes, that was my thought after
23:30
Speaker 1: reading the October twenty sixth opinion piece titled city must
23:33
Speaker 1: pull support from bond Hill Bayton Switch. Plan points out
23:38
Speaker 1: the November fourth election results in bond Hill, over eighty
23:43
Speaker 1: five percent of bond Hill voters re elected have to
23:45
Speaker 1: have perv all the eight incumbent members of the council
23:47
Speaker 1: and a Democrat who doesn't have any sort of background,
23:50
Speaker 1: but one Democrats Tracy Gragston, yet another bond Hill resident
23:56
Speaker 1: asking the million dollar question is why would city hall
23:58
Speaker 1: withdraw it support for the develop near the village? Is
24:00
Speaker 1: the daybreak? When Bonhill just re elected most of the
24:03
Speaker 1: city council members who supported the deal. Just a week ago,
24:06
Speaker 1: Bonhill voted for the city leadership that gave them a
24:08
Speaker 1: beaten switched development near the village is a daybreak. It
24:11
Speaker 1: defies logic to ask city called to draw a city
24:14
Speaker 1: Hall to drop support for any deal in your neighborhood
24:16
Speaker 1: when your neighborhood just re elected the politicians who shoved
24:19
Speaker 1: the deal you didn't want down in your throat. There's
24:22
Speaker 1: more to it. You can find it yourself. Cincinnati dot
24:24
Speaker 1: com yeap Elections have consequences doing the same thing over
24:27
Speaker 1: and over again expecting a different result. The actual definition
24:31
Speaker 1: of stupidity. There you go, Stacker stupid coming up. Although
24:34
Speaker 1: I feel like I just stuck my toe in it.
24:37
Speaker 1: USA's premium foam the only way to go. It's the
24:39
Speaker 1: highest forty one fifty about krcdtalk station. Happy Friday Eve.
24:43
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to be here to marro Joe
24:44
Speaker 1: Strecker of course, does a lot of the stack of
24:47
Speaker 1: stupid stories Friday morning to deal a lot of crazy
24:49
Speaker 1: people who are performing criminal acts naked as this tradition,
24:53
Speaker 1: and we have quite a few of those here this morning. However,
24:55
Speaker 1: in honor of iHeart media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe, I
24:58
Speaker 1: put one on the top. This guy is worthy of
25:01
Speaker 1: the award. A man described as a British businessman, Solomon
25:08
Speaker 1: if a car anyway, Salomon thirty seven years old, traveling
25:13
Speaker 1: first class from London Heathrow Heathrow to Lore with with
25:17
Speaker 1: his three children and one of his wives. We go
25:23
Speaker 1: back to February of twenty twenty three when this incident happened.
25:26
Speaker 1: Apparently he was drinking champagne and he also got up
25:28
Speaker 1: and helped himself to ice from the on board bar.
25:30
Speaker 1: They told him to return to his seat. The crew
25:32
Speaker 1: member did, but when he was told to stop, the
25:34
Speaker 1: defendant became irate. This, according to the court, defendant became
25:38
Speaker 1: irate started a film cabin crew with his phone, telling them,
25:42
Speaker 1: don't tell me what to do, you b.
25:44
Speaker 5: Word, Keep your stupid mouth shut.
25:48
Speaker 1: Hold on, Jay, it gets worse. So of course the staff,
25:51
Speaker 1: a lord of the pilot seatbelt signs turned on and
25:54
Speaker 1: he told him to sit down. Court to the court documents,
25:56
Speaker 1: as well as yes, there are video footage, there is
25:59
Speaker 1: video footage of this ific. Car guy started screaming abusive
26:04
Speaker 1: language and threatening the senior flight attendant, a woman named
26:06
Speaker 1: Angie Walsh, telling Walsh Walsh rather that she would be
26:12
Speaker 1: dragged from her hotel room and in his words, gang
26:17
Speaker 1: raped and set on fire.
26:19
Speaker 6: Keep your stupid mouth shut.
26:22
Speaker 1: And in addition to that, he threatened to blow up
26:24
Speaker 1: the hotel floor where the cabin crew were supposed to
26:26
Speaker 1: stay when they got to Pakistan. Much as I suppose
26:29
Speaker 1: the destination the captain even considered diverting the flight to
26:33
Speaker 1: Turkey because this became so volatile. Ms Walsh, who was
26:38
Speaker 1: a thirty seven year veteran in the airline, has suffered
26:40
Speaker 1: some significant emotional problems with that and she apparently had
26:43
Speaker 1: to take fourteen months off in spite of the fact.
26:45
Speaker 1: He said, he oh, I'm strong, I'm brave, happy stewardess
26:47
Speaker 1: and love my job, but this incident has broken me.
26:51
Speaker 1: So psychological impact. So this clown pleaded guilty to threats
26:56
Speaker 1: to kill and racially aggravated harassment in court, with the
27:02
Speaker 1: court hearing that he had already had six previous convictions
27:05
Speaker 1: for fifteen other offenses, including common assault and drunken driving.
27:11
Speaker 1: So in August of this year, the court sentenced him
27:14
Speaker 1: to fifteen months in jail, which prompted one of the
27:20
Speaker 1: one of the MPs, a guy elected a capacity named
27:22
Speaker 1: Chris Philip. He referred the case to the Attorney General
27:25
Speaker 1: on what is called the United Kingdom's unduly lenient sentencing scheme.
27:30
Speaker 1: Maybe we need one of these here. At the time
27:35
Speaker 1: one of these guys, two wives posted a message pleading
27:39
Speaker 1: to well cut her husband a break. Mental health is
27:42
Speaker 1: not a joke. Before judging, try to understanding, be kind,
27:47
Speaker 1: be kind of the guy who threatened to have this
27:49
Speaker 1: woman gang raped and burn a hotel down. Anyway. Following
27:54
Speaker 1: the review the Court of Appeals after it was referred
27:57
Speaker 1: over to this special you didn't sentence him to enough
28:01
Speaker 1: time court, they increase this jail time to four years
28:05
Speaker 1: and three months, with the Solicitor General saying it better
28:09
Speaker 1: reflected the gravity and sustained nature of his threats and
28:13
Speaker 1: the lasting harm it caused. Walsh, Nice job.
28:16
Speaker 7: Perios, the biggest douche of the universe, in all the galaxies,
28:23
Speaker 7: There's no bigger douche than you. You've reached the top,
28:28
Speaker 7: the pinnacle of doue them. Good going, Douce, Your.
28:34
Speaker 1: Dreams have come true, while his wives breakout in the
28:39
Speaker 1: chorus of stand by your man, or in their case,
28:42
Speaker 1: stand by our man. Five forty five fifty five KRC
28:45
Speaker 1: DE talk Station. I want to mention box station by
28:51
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty five cars Detalk Station, Happy Friday Eve. Yeah,
28:56
Speaker 1: I got a couple more stack of stupid stories of callers.
28:58
Speaker 1: Hold on a moment here prioritization, especially since I'm now
29:02
Speaker 1: in full vacation mode, and notwithstanding in the fact that
29:04
Speaker 1: I have a few hours ahead of me on the
29:05
Speaker 1: morning show. Hope you forgive me for that, trying to
29:07
Speaker 1: have a little bit of fun, getting that that four
29:09
Speaker 1: day weekend mode as a fast approach to Thanksgiving, one
29:12
Speaker 1: of my favorite, my favorite holiday. And we got a
29:15
Speaker 1: man left bleeding and screaming in the street. This after
29:18
Speaker 1: his jealous mistress sliced off his penis while they were
29:21
Speaker 1: having sex. Dow, what the hell, following which the woman
29:25
Speaker 1: said she was satisfied and wanted to teach him a lesson, Windy.
29:30
Speaker 1: I know these are poor relationship choices, much like that
29:34
Speaker 1: last one. Indeed, Windy Cynthia, who is twenty eight, confessed
29:41
Speaker 1: to cutting off her married lover, a guy named Carcelon
29:47
Speaker 1: who Tommy's genitals, in a fit of jealousy. This is
29:50
Speaker 1: in Indonesia. A couple began dating in early twenty nineteen.
29:54
Speaker 1: Carsilian married another woman late twenty nineteen. Here's the order
30:00
Speaker 1: of things, you see, and he continued to affare with
30:03
Speaker 1: this Windy woman who knew about the marriage. The guy
30:06
Speaker 1: said he finally he financially supported Wendy, giving her some
30:09
Speaker 1: rupees every month, but when the payments started to dwindle
30:13
Speaker 1: while the guy bought a new motorcycle for his legal wife.
30:18
Speaker 1: This windy woman allegedly plotted the attack jealous after the
30:21
Speaker 1: legal wife posted about the new motorcycle on social media.
30:25
Speaker 1: Lured Carsilian to a secluded field in Bandar Lumpung, Sumatra,
30:31
Speaker 1: October nineteenth. She allegedly used a penknife from her bag
30:35
Speaker 1: to cut off his well apparently very alert penis while
30:39
Speaker 1: they were having sex.
30:42
Speaker 5: Phrasing.
30:43
Speaker 1: He has then said to have fled naked into the
30:45
Speaker 1: city streets, bleeding and screaming. Locals helped him out took
30:48
Speaker 1: him to a hospital. Surgeon's managed to reattach his unit.
30:53
Speaker 1: Wendy allegedly threw the penknife away went home before police
30:56
Speaker 1: showed up and arrested her. Later, when the confessor the
31:00
Speaker 1: crime at a press conference, she said quote, I felt
31:02
Speaker 1: a little regret for what I did, but mostly satisfaction.
31:05
Speaker 1: I'm finally satisfied. She accused them of cheating on both
31:08
Speaker 1: her and his wife with other women and which caused
31:11
Speaker 1: her heartbreaking anger. She went on to say she did
31:15
Speaker 1: it to teach him a lesson, adding our relationship was
31:17
Speaker 1: like husband and wife, but he kept lying and cheating
31:20
Speaker 1: and I was angry disappointed. Yeah, you walked into it,
31:25
Speaker 1: just walk away. Indeed, here's a quick one from Baton Rouge.
31:29
Speaker 1: Rest warrant been issued for a man who was allegedly
31:31
Speaker 1: sexually gratifying himself on a parking lot of a Baton
31:34
Speaker 1: Rouge store. Warret says fortys I know got in a
31:38
Speaker 1: penalty box. Joe forty three year old Kevin Mormon sitting
31:40
Speaker 1: naked in his truck outside the Baby Gap on Corporate Boulevard,
31:46
Speaker 1: Please said Mormons.
31:47
Speaker 8: Yes, what hell?
31:50
Speaker 1: He stared at a woman while committing this indecent act.
31:52
Speaker 1: The woman ran back inside of the store, caught the
31:54
Speaker 1: truck's license plate before it left. He was booked on
31:57
Speaker 1: a felony obscenity charge. Of course he was. And finally,
32:00
Speaker 1: before I get to Pat Douglas County Sheriff's office asking
32:03
Speaker 1: for public selp to find out more about a naked
32:05
Speaker 1: guy that was taken into a custody accord to the
32:07
Speaker 1: police Department from Omaha's report, neighbors reporting a naked guy
32:11
Speaker 1: roaming in the area of one hundred and forty streets
32:13
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty fourth and Ida knocking on doors
32:17
Speaker 1: debut he's able to find a guy, calling him uncooperative.
32:21
Speaker 1: They used the fingerprints kinda to identify him. He was
32:23
Speaker 1: taken a local hospital for evaluation. Corner to the post,
32:25
Speaker 1: there is no ongoing threat to the public. They want
32:29
Speaker 1: to know if you encountered a naked guy to please
32:31
Speaker 1: let them know about it. Apparently naked guy showing up
32:34
Speaker 1: in a lot of places in Omaha, Nebraska. Pat, let's do
32:36
Speaker 1: what Pat's got this morning. Pat, thanks for indulging me
32:38
Speaker 1: on that. Welcome to the show.
32:41
Speaker 9: Oh, Brian, that's enough. I gotta tell you when I
32:46
Speaker 9: heard about Caloun Street, I lived right next door to
32:52
Speaker 9: the Saint George's School, and I mean we walked everywhere,
32:59
Speaker 9: and we all had.
33:01
Speaker 10: A b cop.
33:03
Speaker 9: The guy that would walk the neighborhood his name was Tom,
33:07
Speaker 9: and I invited him even to my wedding Wow and
33:11
Speaker 9: as we you know, as kids, my husband and I
33:15
Speaker 9: we walked everywhere.
33:16
Speaker 5: Nobody had cars, of course, and.
33:20
Speaker 1: Tat wait a second, hold on, the world's a completely
33:22
Speaker 1: different place. I used to walk with my sister down
33:24
Speaker 1: Devil's Backbone. People know about Devil's Backbone back when I
33:27
Speaker 1: mean there are no sidewalks, know nothing of Whiney Road.
33:29
Speaker 1: Where people sped a mile and a half to two
33:31
Speaker 1: miles to walk down to the King quick. You think
33:33
Speaker 1: some parents will let their eight, you know, six seven
33:35
Speaker 1: year old kid do that. Maybe I was even younger.
33:38
Speaker 1: So yeah, we all recognize the world's a much more
33:40
Speaker 1: dangerous place than it used to be.
33:43
Speaker 9: But I just it just blows my mind. I mean,
33:47
Speaker 9: I worked at Good sam after school part time and
33:51
Speaker 9: we would walk down Clifton Avenue from Hughes and Yeah,
33:56
Speaker 9: it's just a shame that the neighborhood is this literally
33:59
Speaker 9: calm to pop.
34:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a shame that parents don't care about where
34:02
Speaker 1: their children are. It's a shame that children we are
34:05
Speaker 1: disobedient to have no morals and ethics. It's a compound problem.
34:08
Speaker 1: It keeps sending growing more and more each year, and
34:10
Speaker 1: I look to the generation above to blame. A kid
34:13
Speaker 1: needs a structured environment and responsibility needs to be taught
34:16
Speaker 1: those specific things, and there's got to be some accountability
34:19
Speaker 1: for what they do. And if you're not providing that foundation,
34:22
Speaker 1: you're gonna have unruly kids. A lot of people kicked
34:25
Speaker 1: up and put their feet up and ignored the idea
34:27
Speaker 1: of parenting of what goes along with it and allow
34:29
Speaker 1: these children to run am up and become well moral less.
34:33
Speaker 1: So yeah, a lot of them, and a lot of
34:35
Speaker 1: neighborhoods you used to be able to walk in are
34:36
Speaker 1: a lot more dangerous than they used to be. The
34:38
Speaker 1: world is an ever changing place, so I'm not quite
34:41
Speaker 1: sure where you're going with this, pat, unless you've got
34:42
Speaker 1: a suggestion for how to properly engage in law enforcement. Yeah,
34:47
Speaker 1: I agree with you. It's a shame. Five fifty six

Speaker 1: going to take over the helm, and I know you're
35:09
Speaker 1: in good hands with Gary Jeff Dan Carroll and thanks
35:11
Speaker 1: to him and Gary Jeff Dan Carroll covering for me
35:14
Speaker 1: on Monday. I'll be back on Tuesday, hopefully refreshed. Five
35:17
Speaker 1: one three, seven, four, nine fifty eight two three taco
35:20
Speaker 1: with pound five fifty on eight and t phones. Before
35:22
Speaker 1: I jump over to the phones, got one collar online
35:23
Speaker 1: will remind you comeing to the bottom of this hour
35:25
Speaker 1: special edition and a Tech Friday Tech Thursday Dave Hatter.
35:29
Speaker 1: Today we'll be talking about user reviving dead smart vacuum
35:32
Speaker 1: with custom hardware, Internet of Things Bluetooth, exposing millions of
35:38
Speaker 1: vehicles to remote code execution. That's kind of scary if
35:43
Speaker 1: it is what I think it is. That's why we
35:44
Speaker 1: have Dave to explain what it actually is. Artificial intelligence
35:47
Speaker 1: agents getting office tasks wrong, thankfully for you and me,
35:52
Speaker 1: at least for the time being, seventy percent of the time.
35:54
Speaker 1: So you can't rely on AI completely. You need a
35:57
Speaker 1: human element in there to get things accurately. Fast forward
35:59
Speaker 1: one seven five with Congressman Warren Davidson. Now they ask
36:02
Speaker 1: the shutdown is over. Donald Trump signed the legislation into law,
36:06
Speaker 1: and of course dove into a little bit of details
36:07
Speaker 1: on why exactly there was a shutdown at the last
36:10
Speaker 1: hour with it, with the astute observation of Barton Swain,
36:14
Speaker 1: it was the NGOs out there in the world, all
36:16
Speaker 1: these leftist organizations that are funded by government were the
36:19
Speaker 1: ones that were pestering the Democrats to keep this government
36:22
Speaker 1: shut down because they're stopping the flow of money. And
36:26
Speaker 1: the connected point on that was he used it by
36:28
Speaker 1: way of illustration to contrast the reason the NRA, as
36:32
Speaker 1: evil as you think it may be, is even a thing.
36:35
Speaker 1: They don't wield that much power, but their power, to
36:38
Speaker 1: the extent they've got it, to the extent they engage
36:39
Speaker 1: in lobbying, which they do, all comes from people who
36:42
Speaker 1: make voluntary contributions, regular run of the mill folks like
36:45
Speaker 1: you or me who join it to support the Second Amendment,
36:48
Speaker 1: and the work that they do, which includes a lot
36:50
Speaker 1: of training work. I mean, it's a safety organization, not
36:54
Speaker 1: just this militant right wing gun organization whatever. But all
36:59
Speaker 1: these left organizations, if they're not funded by multi billionaires,
37:02
Speaker 1: they're funded by you through things like USAID. And there's
37:06
Speaker 1: the reason for the breakdown. They don't have a funding
37:09
Speaker 1: source other than evil politicians who think it's aoka for
37:12
Speaker 1: them to route your taxpayer dollars into these crazy organizations.
37:16
Speaker 1: So there's that. Maybe we'll see what Congressman David has
37:20
Speaker 1: to say about Davidson has to say about that empower
37:22
Speaker 1: unnied Eric Conroy. He is running against Greg Landsman. He's
37:27
Speaker 1: a former CIA operative and he's doing the Empowered seminar.
37:31
Speaker 1: They take twenty chunk of the seminar that takes place
37:34
Speaker 1: tonight at seven pm and sounds like a really cool guy.
37:38
Speaker 1: And I am going to ask him because I keep
37:40
Speaker 1: meaning to ask a CIA person. Did the CIA get
37:43
Speaker 1: paid during the shutdown?
37:45
Speaker 2: You know?
37:45
Speaker 1: My my initiory action is I bet they did. No
37:48
Speaker 1: one ever mentions the CIA employee. Should we feel sorry
37:50
Speaker 1: for him during the shutdown? I know we felt sorry
37:53
Speaker 1: for a lot of other folks.
37:54
Speaker 10: Uh.
37:55
Speaker 1: So that'll take place to day doh five and then
37:58
Speaker 1: coming to Cincinnati repaired Cincinnati lands on the global map
38:03
Speaker 1: with the twenty twenty five US National Steinholding Championships eight
38:07
Speaker 1: thirty with Mike Kisel, one of the guys from those
38:10
Speaker 1: German Guys on Facebook. Mike's one on the program before
38:13
Speaker 1: he'll be joined by Ben Huffman, who's the executive director
38:15
Speaker 1: of the Cincinni Regional Sports Commission, to talk about how
38:17
Speaker 1: great this Steinholding Championship is going to be. Now, without
38:22
Speaker 1: further ado, jump back over the phones got Bobby on
38:24
Speaker 1: the line. Bobby, welcome to the Morning Show. Good to
38:25
Speaker 1: hear from you.
38:27
Speaker 5: Good morning, my brother.
38:29
Speaker 11: Hey, it's a happy handicap day today.
38:33
Speaker 1: Yeah.
38:35
Speaker 5: Yeah.
38:35
Speaker 11: With the shutdown and the curfew change and everything, we're
38:39
Speaker 11: putting a handicap shooting at three and a half of
38:42
Speaker 11: the day.
38:44
Speaker 1: Can you can you place a wager on one of
38:46
Speaker 1: the sports bet sites for that?
38:48
Speaker 12: Bobby, Well, it's an underground sports betting games. Ok, we
38:54
Speaker 12: got you know, but we're putting it at three and
38:57
Speaker 12: a half this weekend on the shooting, So suggest.
39:00
Speaker 11: To take the over even though we got to shut
39:03
Speaker 11: down and the curfew changing and everything, but we got
39:07
Speaker 11: a ball game this weekend, so we're hoping to put
39:10
Speaker 11: it three and a half over all.
39:11
Speaker 1: Right, the first rule of betting on shootings is you
39:15
Speaker 1: don't talk about betting on shootings. It's an underground operation, Bobby,
39:18
Speaker 1: not I supposed to let people know that that's going
39:20
Speaker 1: on out there.
39:21
Speaker 5: Correct.
39:22
Speaker 1: Does the slice of the gambling revenue go to support
39:25
Speaker 1: the the Ohio Public Schools.
39:29
Speaker 11: Charity?
39:32
Speaker 1: Bobby, thank you man. You're gonna do your tagline faith, Family, Flag, firearm,
39:37
Speaker 1: Freedom and three and a half.
39:41
Speaker 11: When you got those you always got freedom and three
39:43
Speaker 11: and over.
39:43
Speaker 5: Three and a half.
39:45
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if I if I'm wishing you
39:48
Speaker 1: luck on the accuracy, then does that mean I'm wishing
39:51
Speaker 1: for people to get shot. I don't want to go
39:53
Speaker 1: down that road. Bobby, you deal with your own.
39:56
Speaker 11: We don't want it, we don't want it to happen.
39:57
Speaker 11: We just got to clean the city up. But you
39:59
Speaker 11: know you got I have a little bit of fun.
40:01
Speaker 1: Then, well it is. It is out of your hands.
40:04
Speaker 1: It's something you have zero control over, so why not
40:08
Speaker 1: turn it into a sporting activity. Thanks Bobby, appreciate the
40:11
Speaker 1: high level of comedy going on this morning. CJ, your
40:14
Speaker 1: next CJ, Welcome to the Morning Show. Thanks for calling.
40:17
Speaker 13: Good morning to you. You know, I'm I was reading
40:20
Speaker 13: a lot about this stuff yesterday, with this Epstein Trump stuff.
40:23
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, and I'm not going to say.
40:24
Speaker 13: Trump's been a perfect man, but that email yesterday was really, really,
40:30
Speaker 13: and I could say really about fifteen more times deceiving
40:34
Speaker 13: because the Democrats and the press went along with it
40:37
Speaker 13: and redacted names out of it.
40:38
Speaker 1: Virginia.
40:39
Speaker 13: That has been out for a number of years, yes, unredacted,
40:43
Speaker 13: and that email.
40:44
Speaker 14: Has been out.
40:45
Speaker 13: We know who the victim is. And guess who wrote
40:48
Speaker 13: a book saying that Donald Trump was the was not
40:51
Speaker 13: involved and was did.
40:54
Speaker 3: Everything to try to help her.
40:56
Speaker 15: Was a person's name.
40:56
Speaker 1: Who was redacted Virginia government.
40:58
Speaker 15: It's such mouth.
41:00
Speaker 13: Of the press and of the Democrats in order to
41:03
Speaker 13: do this just to get a story. And I still
41:05
Speaker 13: think that there's a possibility you do see Trump's name
41:07
Speaker 13: in some pretty in some stuff that we don't want
41:10
Speaker 13: to know about. But on this particular story, if you
41:14
Speaker 13: want to create division and really get everybody thinking, you
41:18
Speaker 13: know what, we're going to take our own side and
41:21
Speaker 13: not listen to anybody else, this is a perfect way
41:24
Speaker 13: to start it.
41:24
Speaker 2: It is.
41:25
Speaker 1: But to the extent you take the bait and run
41:27
Speaker 1: with it, then you're ignoring the fact that Virginia Guphrey
41:29
Speaker 1: is the one who is in the redacted emails that
41:31
Speaker 1: the Democrats are claiming prove Donald Trump was engaged in
41:34
Speaker 1: some sort of you know, I guess illicted activity. Not
41:38
Speaker 1: just quite sure what they're saying, but they certainly are
41:40
Speaker 1: suggesting it. Virginia Gufhrey was previously exposed in these emails
41:45
Speaker 1: produced unredacted form. She was deposed on it. She did
41:48
Speaker 1: write a book, but we have her sworn testimony saying
41:51
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump didn't do a damn thing and was,
41:54
Speaker 1: in fact a really nice guy. So yeah, and to
41:57
Speaker 1: your point, ot CJ, if there were any better documents,
42:00
Speaker 1: if there were documents that had even more salacious suggestions,
42:04
Speaker 1: if not proof, that Donald Trump was engaged in some
42:07
Speaker 1: untoward activity in connection with Epstein, don't you think they
42:10
Speaker 1: would have released those documents as opposed to this sketchy
42:14
Speaker 1: one with the now redicted Virginia Guffrey as the victim
42:17
Speaker 1: who already pointed out that Trump was a nice guy
42:19
Speaker 1: and didn't touch her. Wouldn't you go for the cream
42:22
Speaker 1: of the crop? In other words, CJ? Right, so.
42:27
Speaker 13: With you on that, And it's really shows how the
42:31
Speaker 13: press really is no longer a press, but just a
42:33
Speaker 13: talking point for one side of the political spectrum.
42:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the counterpress to all of this, and remember
42:41
Speaker 1: the mainstream media wields less and less control and dominance
42:45
Speaker 1: in every day that ticks by. This was met with
42:48
Speaker 1: an immediate response along the lines of what we're talking
42:50
Speaker 1: about you want to be why don't you provide some context?
42:53
Speaker 1: You know, Dan Well, who victim, the capital victa the
42:58
Speaker 1: victim is it's guphery. Why don't you look at her
43:01
Speaker 1: real testimony? Why don't you look at the words out
43:03
Speaker 1: of her mouth? Why don't you read the books she wrote?
43:05
Speaker 1: Because that provides far more context and accuracy about her
43:09
Speaker 1: connection with Trump than any suggestion from an email exchange
43:13
Speaker 1: between Epstein and his well, his what do you call
43:18
Speaker 1: Geslaine Maxwell? Anyway? Is madam?
43:23
Speaker 3: Yeah?
43:23
Speaker 1: Close enough. Yeah, you're gonna be what are you gonna believe?
43:26
Speaker 1: You're gonna read into something between those two text exchange
43:29
Speaker 1: years after the factor. Are you gonna read the actual
43:31
Speaker 1: words that came out of the victim and her mouth,
43:35
Speaker 1: her book and her testimony. I'm going with the latter.
43:37
Speaker 1: It makes much more sense. It's far more credible, and
43:40
Speaker 1: it's actually the real words that she used.
43:43
Speaker 2: C J.
43:43
Speaker 1: Good point, My friend, appreciate it. You see it. Everybody
43:46
Speaker 1: else that will is willing to take the time sees
43:51
Speaker 1: that there's no there there And again to my point previously,
43:55
Speaker 1: Donald Trump said over and over again years ago and
43:58
Speaker 1: when he promised to release the documents that he wanted
44:02
Speaker 1: them released, he knows better than anybody what he did,
44:06
Speaker 1: Like I said, if he knew something in his background
44:08
Speaker 1: was terrible, and that would be terrible for him if
44:11
Speaker 1: it got out. I doubt he would have taken such
44:13
Speaker 1: a strong stance in connection with this prior to being
44:16
Speaker 1: sworn into presidency when he suddenly changed his mind about
44:19
Speaker 1: releasing the documents. That's what always bothered me. Six fifteen
44:22
Speaker 1: fifty five krs DE Talk Station Cover Sincy, thirty five
44:25
Speaker 1: KRSIT detalk Station, Happy Friday, Eve Tech Friday with Dave
44:29
Speaker 1: had Her in an early day Tech Thursday. Coming up
44:31
Speaker 1: bottom of the hour after this segment, and thank you
44:33
Speaker 1: Joe Strecker, who I always call him Internet research Guru.
44:36
Speaker 1: An answer to my question, Yes, you can vote on
44:38
Speaker 1: things like number of shootings in a given jurisdiction. You
44:41
Speaker 1: can literally vote on anything. And these are private sites.
44:45
Speaker 1: They are not regulated sites. But if you want to
44:47
Speaker 1: get a payoff because you're able to name Times person
44:50
Speaker 1: of the Year for twenty twenty five, for example, they
44:53
Speaker 1: give you two choices. You get to choose from one,
44:55
Speaker 1: and then there's the you know, the statistics Jensen or
45:00
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence in that particular case. I don't even know
45:02
Speaker 1: who Jensen Wang is, but I presume an AI kind
45:05
Speaker 1: of guy. Anyway, highest temperature in New York City, takes
45:08
Speaker 1: photos of the parking lot. Joe, is that what it
45:10
Speaker 1: is is that you're going full on caddyshack on that
45:14
Speaker 1: one nice highest tempered to New York City today. You
45:21
Speaker 1: can vote on that one as well. So I suppose, Bobby,
45:23
Speaker 1: if you want to set up one of these, feel
45:25
Speaker 1: free to do so. Frightening reality going on out there.
45:28
Speaker 1: But apparently Joe said they do pay off. It's kind
45:30
Speaker 1: of like paying into an insurance premium pool. You know,
45:32
Speaker 1: the money you pay insurance premium goes to cover claims.
45:35
Speaker 1: So if you want to vote on the Kansas City
45:38
Speaker 1: or Philadelphia, you can do that right there. Thirty two
45:41
Speaker 1: million dollars in the pile. That's just so the tech
45:49
Speaker 1: world we live in today. All right, back to the conversation.
45:51
Speaker 1: Virginia Guffrey. We know she's the one who's been identifying
45:53
Speaker 1: in the email with Democrats. Know that when the issue
45:55
Speaker 1: the email redacted, they want to make you think Donald
45:57
Speaker 1: Trump is engaging some shenanigans with her Q and A.
46:00
Speaker 1: Guffrey asked specific questions about Donald Trump during the deposition
46:04
Speaker 1: November twenty sixteen as part of her lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell.
46:12
Speaker 1: You remember that she went to jail. She's still in jail,
46:16
Speaker 1: all right. What's inaccurate about the last statement on that page, Guphrey,
46:21
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was also a good friend of Jeffreys. That
46:25
Speaker 1: part is true. He didn't partake in any of any
46:28
Speaker 1: sex with any of us, but he flirted with me.
46:31
Speaker 1: It's true that he didn't partake in any sex with us,
46:34
Speaker 1: but it's not true that he flirted with me. Donald
46:36
Speaker 1: Trump never flirted with me. The next sentence is he'd
46:42
Speaker 1: laugh and tell Jeffrey, you've got the life close quote.
46:45
Speaker 1: I never said that to her. Question from the lawyer,
46:50
Speaker 1: when you say he didn't partake in any sex with
46:53
Speaker 1: any of us, who is us? Virginia Guffrey's response. Girls
46:59
Speaker 1: Just then he terjet, how do you know who Donald
47:01
Speaker 1: Trump had sex with? Guphery Oh. I didn't physically see
47:05
Speaker 1: him have sex with any of the girls, So I
47:07
Speaker 1: can't say who he had sex with in his whole
47:08
Speaker 1: life or not. But I just know it wasn't with
47:11
Speaker 1: me when I was with other girls. Question, and who
47:15
Speaker 1: were the other girls that you're with when Donald Trump's presence?
47:17
Speaker 1: Guffery none there pause. I worked for Donald Trump, and
47:23
Speaker 1: I met him probably a few times. Question when have
47:26
Speaker 1: you met him? Her answer at mar A Lago. My
47:29
Speaker 1: dad and him. I wouldn't say they were friends, but
47:31
Speaker 1: my dad knew him and they would talk all the time,
47:33
Speaker 1: well not all the time, but when they saw each other.
47:37
Speaker 1: Question have you ever been in Donald Trump and Jeffrey
47:39
Speaker 1: Epstein's presence with another? Her answer, no, What is your
47:44
Speaker 1: basis for your statement? Donald Trump is a good friend
47:46
Speaker 1: of Jeffreys? Her response, Jeffrey told me that Donald Trump
47:50
Speaker 1: was a good friend of his. Or Jeffrey told me
47:54
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is a good friend of his. Question but
47:56
Speaker 1: you never observed them together? Her response, No that I
48:00
Speaker 1: can actually remember. I mean not off the top of
48:03
Speaker 1: my head. No, when did Donald Trump flirt with you?
48:06
Speaker 1: Her response, He didn't. That's what's inaccurate. Again, he's got
48:10
Speaker 1: the statements from the prior testimony. He's reading them to her.
48:13
Speaker 1: So she flagged that as an inaccurate statement. He did
48:16
Speaker 1: not flirt with her, He did not have sex with her.
48:18
Speaker 1: She said this repeatedly. Did you ever see Donald Trump
48:21
Speaker 1: at Jeffreys' home? Her response, not that I can remember.
48:26
Speaker 1: So I never flirted with her. I had relations with
48:28
Speaker 1: Virginia Guffrey. She never saw Trump at Epstein's presence or
48:30
Speaker 1: at his residence. She never saw Trump or met with
48:32
Speaker 1: Trump outside mar A Lago, and certainly not at Epstein's home.
48:35
Speaker 1: So what's the point of releasing these two documents and
48:40
Speaker 1: redacting her name when it was widely known it was
48:43
Speaker 1: her making these statements. I'll leave that to you. You
48:45
Speaker 1: can talk with your Democrat friends about that. Anything they
48:48
Speaker 1: can do to try to undermine Donald Trump, they're going
48:50
Speaker 1: to do it, whether it makes them look really, really,
48:53
Speaker 1: really stupid or not. Six twenty five, Tech Thursday with
48:57
Speaker 1: Dave had her coming up next First share Factor Talkdation. Ooh,
49:01
Speaker 1: what's that music? That's bumper music, suggesting it's Friday morning,
49:04
Speaker 1: Time for Tech Friday with day Patter. No, it's not,
49:06
Speaker 1: but I'm off tomorrow. So Joe and Dave got together
49:08
Speaker 1: and decided to do an early edition. We're going to
49:10
Speaker 1: call it tech Thursday, brought to you still by Intrust.
49:13
Speaker 1: It final on line at interrust dot com, where Dave
49:15
Speaker 1: and the crew are there to help you and your
49:17
Speaker 1: business get out of trouble, keep you out of trouble.
49:20
Speaker 1: If you have computers and I know you do. They're
49:22
Speaker 1: the team to rely on. Don't need to rely on me,
49:24
Speaker 1: even though I know Dave very well and he's a
49:26
Speaker 1: brilliant man, as is his team. Business Courier says they
49:28
Speaker 1: are the best in the business. Dave, thanks you so
49:30
Speaker 1: much for doing the segment early. I love this segment,
49:33
Speaker 1: so I'm glad we could do it today.
49:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, my pleasure, Brian, and well we could fit it
49:36
Speaker 2: in h phrasy.
49:38
Speaker 1: This is this first one is a really revealing I
49:42
Speaker 1: find it comical on some levels, but it is a
49:44
Speaker 1: very revealing article which goes back to your whole criticism
49:48
Speaker 1: of Internet of things regarding, in this case, a smart vacuum.
49:52
Speaker 1: Tell my listeners about what the manufacturer did after this guy,
49:55
Speaker 1: this smart man got in touch with his smart device
49:58
Speaker 1: and kind of tinkered around a little bit with it.
50:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a crazy story, and it's just one of
50:03
Speaker 2: the many reasons why I'm constantly warning folks about so
50:07
Speaker 2: called smart devices aka the Internet of things. You know,
50:10
Speaker 2: it's not only a privacy and security dumpster fire. It
50:13
Speaker 2: really gets to the heart of digital rights management. And
50:16
Speaker 2: I think we've talked about this over the years, you know,
50:18
Speaker 2: with people like John Deere, telling you that you can't
50:20
Speaker 2: fix your own tractor and that sort of thing. You know,
50:23
Speaker 2: it gets to this idea of who really owns this
50:25
Speaker 2: stuff once it has sulfware in it and it can
50:27
Speaker 2: be remotely controlled. So in this particular case, this guy
50:31
Speaker 2: was a fairly technical he bought and I'm surprised despite
50:36
Speaker 2: the nature of his technical background, he would buy something
50:39
Speaker 2: like this. But he bought an I life ale even
50:42
Speaker 2: smart vacuum think ruma for people that know what a
50:44
Speaker 2: rouma is. And what he found after doing some digging,
50:50
Speaker 2: was that it was sending a lot of information back
50:52
Speaker 2: to the company that made it. Now, that in and
50:54
Speaker 2: of itself is not necessarily a bad thing, but when
50:58
Speaker 2: he started looking into the data was sending back, like,
51:00
Speaker 2: you know, it mapped his house, which I get, it's
51:02
Speaker 2: got to know where it's going, but it was sending
51:05
Speaker 2: all kinds of other data back. And he said, you know,
51:07
Speaker 2: I don't know that I really appreciate all of this
51:10
Speaker 2: data that it's sending back. And you know, Brian, I've
51:13
Speaker 2: talked about this so many times with you, and just
51:15
Speaker 2: in general, if you buy something like this and you
51:18
Speaker 2: read all the terms of service and the privacy policy,
51:21
Speaker 2: and all that stuff, which is usually like an eighty
51:22
Speaker 2: page confuse a believe that no one can understand. I
51:25
Speaker 2: would argue on purpose then, and you still decide to
51:30
Speaker 2: proceed when you understand what it's doing, how it's doing it,
51:33
Speaker 2: the data it's collecting, who that can be sold to,
51:35
Speaker 2: et cetera. Okay, fine, you have fully informed consent. But
51:39
Speaker 2: in most cases that stuff is very deep down inside there.
51:42
Speaker 2: You don't understand any of that, and you know ultimately
51:45
Speaker 2: you sign up for these things, right and it starts
51:48
Speaker 2: sucking up all kinds of data. That's one of the
51:50
Speaker 2: reasons why these things are often inexpensive. They make more
51:53
Speaker 2: money in the long run off the data they can
51:55
Speaker 2: collect from you, your environment, your family, et cetera, than
51:58
Speaker 2: they do from the device itself. So he decided to
52:02
Speaker 2: basically shut down by blocking one of the servers that
52:07
Speaker 2: was sending data, to just basically turn that data off. Now, again,
52:11
Speaker 2: you also have to understand your smart device. It has
52:13
Speaker 2: solfwaur in it. One of the things we talk about
52:16
Speaker 2: almost every week is software updates. Why it's important to
52:19
Speaker 2: get the updates for vendors. Another reason why I don't
52:21
Speaker 2: like these things is because in many cases, after a
52:24
Speaker 2: relatively short period of time, they'll move on to a
52:27
Speaker 2: new model and they stop making software updates, which then
52:29
Speaker 2: makes the model you currently have vulnerable. So again, you
52:33
Speaker 2: need some amount of two way communication with the people
52:36
Speaker 2: that make these things because you want to get the
52:38
Speaker 2: software updates. He turns off this telemetry data it's collecting,
52:42
Speaker 2: and they basically remotely brick that's fancy nerds speak for
52:46
Speaker 2: disable the sweeper itself. So again this kind of I
52:50
Speaker 2: know I've gone on a circuitous route here, but I'm
52:52
Speaker 2: getting back to you. If you purchase at this device, right,
52:55
Speaker 2: you spend your hard earned money on this, and then
52:58
Speaker 2: they can turn it off simply because they don't like
53:00
Speaker 2: the way you're using it. In this case, he disabled
53:03
Speaker 2: some of the information they were able to collect from it.
53:05
Speaker 2: Do you really own that device? Apparently not, I'm going
53:08
Speaker 2: to say no. Yeah, I'm going to say no. Now,
53:10
Speaker 2: he was eventually able to keep hacking at it, and
53:13
Speaker 2: you know, again, this is a very technical guy, well
53:16
Speaker 2: beyond the capabilities of the average person, was able to
53:22
Speaker 2: make it work despite this. But yeah, you know, if
53:26
Speaker 2: you read the article here, I'm reading directly from furthermore
53:28
Speaker 2: the engineer made one disturbing discovery. Deep in the lungs
53:30
Speaker 2: of his non functioning smart vacuum. He found a command
53:33
Speaker 2: with a time stamp, that stamp that matched exactly the
53:36
Speaker 2: time the gate had to stop working. This is clearly
53:38
Speaker 2: a command, a kill command. And after he reversed it
53:40
Speaker 2: and rebuted the appliance, it roared back to life. Now
53:43
Speaker 2: you know, they turned it off again once that he
53:48
Speaker 2: stopped the data collection again. He's kind of worked around
53:52
Speaker 2: it and it works. But you know, this is a
53:54
Speaker 2: three hundred dollars device. How much time do you want
53:56
Speaker 2: to spend trying to hack your three hundred dollars device?
53:58
Speaker 1: Well, and I don't want to spend Any ignorant person
54:00
Speaker 1: that unlike you, wouldn't be in a position to even
54:02
Speaker 1: go in and tinker with it. I mean, it's like
54:04
Speaker 1: the peace of God for me this computer stuff. I'm
54:06
Speaker 1: not a program and I would even know what to
54:07
Speaker 1: look for. But this points out that I think the
54:10
Speaker 1: greatest thing about it is it's like people who are
54:12
Speaker 1: arguing about property tax. You really own your property. If
54:15
Speaker 1: you continue to have to make payments or have your
54:18
Speaker 1: property then foreclosed on, you don't this device. If you
54:22
Speaker 1: don't allow it to steal your take your data, steal
54:24
Speaker 1: your data, even though you've been warned ahead of time
54:25
Speaker 1: with the agreement you enter into, which you never read.
54:32
Speaker 1: It's not yours if they can shut it off. Period.
54:35
Speaker 2: Oh well, and one out of the point, you know,
54:36
Speaker 2: going back to my security and privacy dumpster fire comment
54:39
Speaker 2: that I'm making over and over and over about these things,
54:41
Speaker 2: let me just let me just read one last statement
54:44
Speaker 2: from this. From this, you looked at it software and
54:47
Speaker 2: operating system, and that's where he discovered the dark truth.
54:49
Speaker 2: The smart vacuum was a security nightmare in a black
54:51
Speaker 2: hole for his personal data. First off, it's andrei dbug Bridge,
54:55
Speaker 2: which gave him full root access to the vacuum, wasn't
54:58
Speaker 2: protected by any kind of password or so Again, it's
55:03
Speaker 2: not just that do you really own it. They can
55:06
Speaker 2: remotely disable it if they don't like what you're doing.
55:08
Speaker 2: If it's on a subscription service and you decide to
55:11
Speaker 2: stop paying the subscription, it's again you offer. These things
55:15
Speaker 2: almost always have the wrong consumer incentives. They're designed for
55:18
Speaker 2: speed to market, market share, ease of use. They're not
55:21
Speaker 2: designed for your privacy and security. And again I would
55:24
Speaker 2: argue in most cases they are doing the exact opposite.
55:27
Speaker 1: Right of that. And in the case of these rheumbo
55:30
Speaker 1: type vacuums, they're now equipped with cameras, as you pointed
55:33
Speaker 1: out previously on the Morning Show, cameras that have photographs
55:36
Speaker 1: of people showing up on the Internet, sitting there on
55:38
Speaker 1: the toilet or in other compromising positions. Because they're creepy
55:42
Speaker 1: vacuum cleaner as hoovering up all this data, I guess
55:45
Speaker 1: and sending it out into the world. Scary stuff. Don't
55:47
Speaker 1: do it, that's my default position. I listened to Dave
55:51
Speaker 1: Hatter and more sprite see the talk station six forty.
55:56
Speaker 1: If you've have krcdtalk station interest id dot it dot com,
56:00
Speaker 1: we find Dave Hatter and his amazing crew of computer experts.
56:03
Speaker 1: Your business computer needs sponsoring the segment we call tech Friday.
56:06
Speaker 1: Doing it in a day early doesn't change the dynamic.
56:08
Speaker 1: The topics are still crazy interesting. And here's another scary one.
56:11
Speaker 1: What is this remote code execution that people can can
56:16
Speaker 1: hack into or use.
56:18
Speaker 2: Yes, so when you hear the term remote code execution,
56:21
Speaker 2: basically what that's saying is that you could remotely access
56:25
Speaker 2: the system and execute commands on it. That's sort of
56:29
Speaker 2: the layman's terms explanation of what that means. It's a
56:32
Speaker 2: little more technical than that, but suffice it to say,
56:36
Speaker 2: if I can get to your system, and thanks to
56:40
Speaker 2: now everything being connected and full of software as we
56:42
Speaker 2: just discussed with the sweeper in the last story, I
56:45
Speaker 2: mean this is sort of another example of why we
56:48
Speaker 2: are increasingly creating problems in society by adding software to
56:54
Speaker 2: everything now. And Brian, you know I'm no luddite, and
56:56
Speaker 2: I spent twenty five plus years as a software engineer,
56:59
Speaker 2: so I'm not against this stuff per se. My issue is,
57:03
Speaker 2: again we are always trying to move fast and break things.
57:07
Speaker 2: We're not focused on privacy and security, as I mentioned before.
57:10
Speaker 2: We're focused on things like speed to market, ease of use,
57:13
Speaker 2: market share, convenience, and you know, your modern car. We've
57:17
Speaker 2: talked about this before. I encourage people to go see
57:19
Speaker 2: Privacy not Included from Mozilla again, Privacy not Included. Look
57:23
Speaker 2: it up. It's easy to find. They explore these kinds
57:28
Speaker 2: of systems, rank them, rate them, that sort of thing,
57:30
Speaker 2: and they did a big expos on modern cars. I
57:33
Speaker 2: think it was probably at the end of twenty twenty
57:35
Speaker 2: three and about you know, they're all basically rolling computers
57:39
Speaker 2: now with all kinds of sensors and.
57:40
Speaker 1: Data, Internet of things, with devices that we don't have
57:42
Speaker 1: any choice to buy one that's not Internet connected or
57:45
Speaker 1: connected to the cloud in some way, shape or form,
57:47
Speaker 1: connected to the manufacturer in some way, shape or form.
57:50
Speaker 1: They don't have an opt out provision for that day, not.
57:53
Speaker 2: That I'm aware of, no, And they talk about that
57:56
Speaker 2: in Privacy Not Included, And you know that's that's one
57:59
Speaker 2: of the problems with everything you buy now theoretically is
58:02
Speaker 2: smart Anyhow, this just goes to show you again why
58:06
Speaker 2: this is not such a good idea. And I'm not
58:08
Speaker 2: saying there won't come a time where all of this
58:10
Speaker 2: will make sense, but until the people building this stuff
58:13
Speaker 2: are focused on privacy and security, especially the security piece
58:17
Speaker 2: and especially the robustness and resilience piece. Right. The fact
58:21
Speaker 2: that these things won't go down when you need them,
58:23
Speaker 2: The fact that they can't be exploited and then used
58:26
Speaker 2: to exploit other devices in your system that lead to
58:29
Speaker 2: money and shutting ransomware and that sort of stuff. That's
58:32
Speaker 2: my concern. So here four flaws in open Synergies Blue
58:37
Speaker 2: SDKSDK means Software Development Kit Blue two stack that I's
58:41
Speaker 2: successfully exploited could allow remote code executions on millions of
58:45
Speaker 2: transport vehicles from different vendors. Now this stop before I
58:49
Speaker 2: even go and think about that millions of vehicles from
58:52
Speaker 2: different vendors. So theoretically, what this is telling you is,
58:56
Speaker 2: for anyone who has used open Synergies Blue Software Development
59:00
Speaker 2: IT in their vehicles, because of these vulnerabilities, at least
59:03
Speaker 2: until they're patched, someone could remotely control those vehicles. Now
59:08
Speaker 2: it doesn't necessarily mean they could use the throttle for
59:11
Speaker 2: the brakes. Maybe they could. I think that, you know,
59:15
Speaker 2: you've got to really dig into some of these things
59:17
Speaker 2: to understand just how widely exploitable they are. But it
59:22
Speaker 2: goes on to say, then fashion together exploit chained and
59:27
Speaker 2: run arbitrary code on cars from at least three major automakers, Mercedes, Benz, Volkswagen,
59:32
Speaker 2: and Skota. I don't I'm not familiar with Skoda. I
59:34
Speaker 2: guess that's a European brand. And then it says outside
59:38
Speaker 2: of these, fourth unnamed original equipment manufacturer has been confirmed
59:42
Speaker 2: to be affected as well. So again, to think about this,
59:49
Speaker 2: almost every car made today probably everyone is full of software,
59:53
Speaker 2: software made by human beings. Human beings make mistakes, you know, bugs, vulnerabilities,
59:58
Speaker 2: call it whatever you want. And when you think about
1:00:01
Speaker 2: the possibility that a nation state adversary, on the day
1:00:05
Speaker 2: they decide to bring it all down or whatever, could
1:00:08
Speaker 2: suddenly take control of these vehicles and possibly, at the
1:00:12
Speaker 2: very minimum at least make them stop. Yeah, you know,
1:00:14
Speaker 2: perhaps they can't turn them into guided missiles by taking
1:00:17
Speaker 2: over the GPS and directing them to run into something,
1:00:20
Speaker 2: but they could probably at least take them, make them
1:00:24
Speaker 2: stop or behavior radically cause problems. Now imagine if those
1:00:28
Speaker 2: were in you know, police vehicles, fire trucks, ambulances, semi trailers. Yeah,
1:00:36
Speaker 2: it's it's not good. And you know, further on in
1:00:39
Speaker 2: here they say perfect Blue allows an attacker to achieve
1:00:42
Speaker 2: remote code execution on a vulnerable device considered an endpoint
1:00:46
Speaker 2: to the target system, which is critical. Speaking about vehicles, further,
1:00:49
Speaker 2: lateral movement within the vehicle depends on its architecture and
1:00:52
Speaker 2: might involve additional vulnerabilities. But the fact is, as we
1:00:58
Speaker 2: just continue to make things smarter quote unquote, in many cases,
1:01:03
Speaker 2: we're making them dumber because we are not focused on
1:01:06
Speaker 2: the right things again, privacy and security trying to build
1:01:10
Speaker 2: systems that can't be hacked or are incredibly difficult to hack,
1:01:15
Speaker 2: as opposed to, Hey, let's just jam this stuff out there,
1:01:18
Speaker 2: sell as many of these things as possible, and then
1:01:20
Speaker 2: move on to the next model without any thought about
1:01:24
Speaker 2: how all of the software inside these things to potentially
1:01:27
Speaker 2: be exploited to steal your data, steal your money, shut
1:01:31
Speaker 2: them down, shut your business down, cause chaos.
1:01:35
Speaker 1: I'm just left with Listen, I got a choice on
1:01:37
Speaker 1: whether I'm going to buy a room, but or not
1:01:39
Speaker 1: if I go out and buy a modern automobile, I'm
1:01:41
Speaker 1: stuck with this and I don't know what they've done
1:01:43
Speaker 1: by way of security. I don't know, and I will
1:01:45
Speaker 1: not know until somebody that takes over the damn car
1:01:47
Speaker 1: you come on the show and announce that, well, your
1:01:50
Speaker 1: car is capable of being hacked, and here's how they
1:01:52
Speaker 1: did it, or something terrible happens. We don't have a
1:01:55
Speaker 1: choice in the matter, and I wish we did. I
1:01:57
Speaker 1: don't want a car hooked up? Can I buy one those? Presently?
1:02:00
Speaker 1: The answer is pretty much no. We'll continue more.
1:02:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, for new cars. That's pretty much true. Privacy included. Folks.
1:02:07
Speaker 2: There you go take it out.
1:02:08
Speaker 1: Artificial intelligence is not what it's cracked up to be.
1:02:10
Speaker 1: That coming up next with Dave Hatter. But if you're
1:02:12
Speaker 1: looking for a world class smile.
1:02:16
Speaker 2: Six.
1:02:16
Speaker 1: If you want fift about KCD talk station Brian Thomas
1:02:18
Speaker 1: with interest, its Dave Hatter, it's his company interest it
1:02:21
Speaker 1: dot com is reaffinded And this one actually put a
1:02:25
Speaker 1: smile on my face, Dave. Artificial intelligence is not all
1:02:27
Speaker 1: it's cracked up to be. Although I see this as
1:02:30
Speaker 1: being a temporary phenomenon that look much like the Internet
1:02:33
Speaker 1: of Things devices. They'll probably try to iron it out
1:02:35
Speaker 1: and get more efficient and more accurate. But at least
1:02:38
Speaker 1: as of right now, we can't fully rely on AI.
1:02:40
Speaker 1: I suppose can we?
1:02:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, And there's a finer point of distinction here, Brian.
1:02:46
Speaker 2: First off, I'm going to be clear. You know, folks
1:02:48
Speaker 2: should go try these tools for themselves. Oh yeah, they
1:02:51
Speaker 2: can be extremely beneficial and productive when you understand what
1:02:54
Speaker 2: they can and can't do.
1:02:55
Speaker 1: You can also write a number one country music song too.
1:03:00
Speaker 1: Yeah did you see that?
1:03:01
Speaker 2: But I did not.
1:03:03
Speaker 1: The number one country music song in the land is
1:03:07
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence created, and it's also performed by a holy
1:03:11
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence quote unquote artist number one song in country music. Okay,
1:03:18
Speaker 1: millions millions of clicks.
1:03:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, miss that. But this gets to something called
1:03:26
Speaker 2: agentic AI or AI agents. Some would argue there's a
1:03:29
Speaker 2: small distinction between those two things, but ultimately, for the
1:03:33
Speaker 2: average person, they mean the same thing. And this article
1:03:36
Speaker 2: from the Register does a pretty good job explaining that.
1:03:39
Speaker 2: One of the examples they give, for example, is when
1:03:42
Speaker 2: astronaut Dave Bowman orders how nine thousand the computer in
1:03:45
Speaker 2: two thousand and one to open the pod bay doors.
1:03:48
Speaker 2: How that's an example of agentic AI. You're asking the
1:03:51
Speaker 2: AI to actually take some action in the real world, right, So,
1:03:55
Speaker 2: and they're pointing out because there's been a lot of
1:03:57
Speaker 2: hype around I mean, obviously it's been a lot of
1:03:59
Speaker 2: hype around AA in general, but there's been a lot
1:04:01
Speaker 2: of hype around agentic AI in particular. And this idea
1:04:05
Speaker 2: that more more than I can just go down and
1:04:07
Speaker 2: type something in and it gives me some data or
1:04:09
Speaker 2: creates a video or a song or whatever, that I
1:04:12
Speaker 2: can ask it to do something right, perhaps do some work.
1:04:16
Speaker 2: And this is where you know, folks start to get
1:04:18
Speaker 2: concerned about at some point in the future job loss
1:04:22
Speaker 2: and such, because these agents can perform tasks, and you know,
1:04:27
Speaker 2: we've seen some success with certain things like this and
1:04:30
Speaker 2: interest in certain fixed spaces. Right. So again I'm not
1:04:35
Speaker 2: saying this can't work or there's not some value in it.
1:04:37
Speaker 2: I'm just saying I think that there's so much hype
1:04:39
Speaker 2: around this stuff, and you've got to remember that people
1:04:43
Speaker 2: behind it, of course, are going to hype it up
1:04:45
Speaker 2: because they want you to buy it, right, So they
1:04:49
Speaker 2: get into some things in this article that I thought
1:04:53
Speaker 2: were quite interesting. For example, they mentioned that researchers at
1:04:59
Speaker 2: CMU have developed benchmark to evaluate how AI agents perform
1:05:02
Speaker 2: when given column knowledge common knowledge work tasks like browsing
1:05:06
Speaker 2: the web, writing code, running applications, and communicating with coworkers.
1:05:10
Speaker 2: They call it the Agent company. A simulation environment, a
1:05:13
Speaker 2: simulated environment designed to mimic a small software firm and
1:05:16
Speaker 2: it's business operations. So this is, you know, again, a
1:05:19
Speaker 2: test and environment. Goes on to say they did sort
1:05:22
Speaker 2: of help clarify the debate between AI believers, who argue
1:05:24
Speaker 2: that the majority of human labor can be automated, and
1:05:26
Speaker 2: AI skeptics, who see such claims as part of a
1:05:29
Speaker 2: gigantic AI drift. The gap between these two positions, they
1:05:33
Speaker 2: argue detailing their project is due to the lack and
1:05:36
Speaker 2: the way of how these things are tested at common
1:05:39
Speaker 2: workplace activities, thus their benchmark. And then they go on
1:05:43
Speaker 2: to list a bunch of different AI platforms that can
1:05:47
Speaker 2: perform these kinds of tasks at best. Google Gemini two
1:05:51
Speaker 2: point five pro performed thirty percent of the tasks.
1:05:55
Speaker 1: Directly as in seventy of the time they did it
1:05:59
Speaker 1: raw on yes.
1:06:01
Speaker 2: And it goes down pretty precipitously. From there, it drops
1:06:06
Speaker 2: off all the way to Gwinn two point seven to
1:06:08
Speaker 2: two b at one point one percent, and they say, quote,
1:06:13
Speaker 2: we find in experiments that the best performing the model
1:06:15
Speaker 2: was able to autonomously perform thirty point three percent of
1:06:18
Speaker 2: the provided test to completion and achieve a score of
1:06:21
Speaker 2: thirty nine point three percent on our metric that proves
1:06:24
Speaker 2: provides extra credit for partially completed tasks.
1:06:27
Speaker 1: That's still an f.
1:06:29
Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, can you really for any sort of critical task?
1:06:34
Speaker 2: And you know, one of the big concerns I have
1:06:35
Speaker 2: about all of these things, and it's not often talked
1:06:38
Speaker 2: about in this context, is if you have an agent right,
1:06:42
Speaker 2: and again by agent, I mean it can do something
1:06:45
Speaker 2: on your behalf. Well, it's going to have to act
1:06:47
Speaker 2: as you or with some sort of online identity. It's
1:06:51
Speaker 2: going to have to have a username and password, that
1:06:54
Speaker 2: sort of thing. If that information is not secured, or
1:06:58
Speaker 2: if you give an access to your bank count for example,
1:07:01
Speaker 2: or a credit card, are you going to trust it
1:07:03
Speaker 2: to be wrong seventy percent of the time with that information?
1:07:07
Speaker 1: Uh No, especially when they're nefarious actors outside of your
1:07:09
Speaker 1: business operation. They're trying to hack in and get and
1:07:12
Speaker 1: take over control of that.
1:07:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's and that's my point again, I want people
1:07:17
Speaker 2: to understand. I'm not saying that you should never use
1:07:20
Speaker 2: these things. You shouldn't check them out, you shouldn't try
1:07:22
Speaker 2: to figure out how they can work for you. But
1:07:25
Speaker 2: if you're going to use them, you need to test
1:07:27
Speaker 2: them very thoroughly, or use them for tasks where there's
1:07:30
Speaker 2: limited risk and or you really have to be thinking
1:07:33
Speaker 2: about security. You have to be thinking about, Okay, am
1:07:37
Speaker 2: I gonna how am I going to manage the credentials
1:07:39
Speaker 2: this thing is using it? The username of password MFA,
1:07:43
Speaker 2: How am I going to make sure that someone can't hack.
1:07:47
Speaker 2: It can't steal those credentials, or it can't go wrong
1:07:50
Speaker 2: and cause a catastrophic impact.
1:07:52
Speaker 1: Well, exactly, that's where I'm thinking the opening and closing
1:07:55
Speaker 1: of any given valve at any given power plant or
1:07:58
Speaker 1: water facility treatment plan or Yeah, that's the kind of
1:08:01
Speaker 1: stuff that that really scares me.
1:08:03
Speaker 2: Dave. I'm concerned about critical infrastructure in general, but especially
1:08:08
Speaker 2: those kinds of things, because again, one wrong decision could
1:08:13
Speaker 2: be catastrophic in some cases.
1:08:15
Speaker 1: So oh, and you're going to get a wrong decision
1:08:17
Speaker 1: two thirds of the time according to this article Carnegie
1:08:19
Speaker 1: Mellon study. Check it out in Dave's notes over at LinkedIn.
1:08:24
Speaker 1: Find Dave Hatter at LinkedIn. He always posts notes up there,
1:08:27
Speaker 1: and he's a good man to follow on LinkedIn as well.
1:08:29
Speaker 1: Dave Hatter wish we had more time. We are out
1:08:31
Speaker 1: of it. I'll look forward to back to our regular
1:08:34
Speaker 1: order of business next Friday with another edition of tech
1:08:36
Speaker 1: Friday with Dave Hatter, And again, salute to you and
1:08:38
Speaker 1: your company, Interest it Online at interest dot com for
1:08:41
Speaker 1: doing great work for area businesses, but also for sponsoring
1:08:44
Speaker 1: the segment. Man, have a great weekend, brother.
1:08:47
Speaker 2: Oh, where's my pleasure? Brian, thanks and you and Joe
1:08:50
Speaker 2: and all your listeners do thanks mine.
1:08:51
Speaker 1: Six fifty seven. Congressman Warren Davidson up next, don't col Way.
1:08:56
Speaker 1: Today's top headlines coming up at the top of it.
1:09:08
Speaker 1: Seven oh six. Here at fifty five KRCD talk station
1:09:17
Speaker 1: pause long, pregnant pause, pause, pause. Chose trying to get
1:09:23
Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson hasn't been unsuccessful so far. If you're
1:09:27
Speaker 1: near or next to Congressman Warren Davidson right now, just
1:09:30
Speaker 1: poke him and say, hey, you're supposed to be on
1:09:31
Speaker 1: the morning show, or send out a search barn search
1:09:34
Speaker 1: party for him. So I hope Congressman Davidson gets to
1:09:37
Speaker 1: join us. Obviously, the shutdown is an effect, or the
1:09:40
Speaker 1: is no longer an affect. Donald Trump signed the bill
1:09:42
Speaker 1: reopening the government, UH yesterday, and I don't know what's next,
1:09:46
Speaker 1: but I have thoughts and ideas about that. Of course,
1:09:50
Speaker 1: the Democrats taking it on the chin as a consequence
1:09:52
Speaker 1: of the shutdown, no one to blame but themselves. They
1:09:56
Speaker 1: were able, they weren't able to successfully blame the Republicans.
1:09:59
Speaker 1: Clearly they really didn't get anything at all in return
1:10:02
Speaker 1: for bringing you and forcing you to go through all
1:10:04
Speaker 1: this pain, and to the extent you weren't listening to
1:10:08
Speaker 1: me earlier on the program, I will refer you to
1:10:10
Speaker 1: Barton Swain's op ed piece. Y Schumer had to do it,
1:10:13
Speaker 1: And really it boils down to all of these non
1:10:16
Speaker 1: government organizations and these political activist groups out there really
1:10:20
Speaker 1: just burning up the phones and pressuring Democrats to keep
1:10:25
Speaker 1: support coming in there in the form of taxpayer aid
1:10:28
Speaker 1: to their NGOs for crazy stuff, you know, Democratic base.
1:10:32
Speaker 1: And they, he pointed out, we weren't asking for you know,
1:10:35
Speaker 1: Joe Biden to leave the border wide open. They weren't
1:10:38
Speaker 1: asking for that at all. It wasn't a top priority
1:10:40
Speaker 1: for them. Neither was letting men play in women's sports.
1:10:47
Speaker 1: That wasn't number one of most Democrats hit parade. These
1:10:50
Speaker 1: were all the pressuring from non government organizations. Men aren't women.
1:10:54
Speaker 1: That was a lot of pressure from taxpayer funded, non
1:10:56
Speaker 1: government organizations trying to convince the America and the world that, yeah,
1:11:00
Speaker 1: all you got to do is say you're a girl,
1:11:01
Speaker 1: and then you're a girl. We all knew that wasn't true.
1:11:04
Speaker 1: We all knew that wasn't right. You just had to
1:11:07
Speaker 1: fight this messaging that was going on in the world.
1:11:09
Speaker 1: And of course democrats that come to all that pressure
1:11:11
Speaker 1: and they realized that a lot of their goals politically
1:11:15
Speaker 1: are supported by these various fringe elements, and he rattles
1:11:19
Speaker 1: off a whole bunch of them, from Planned Parenthood, ACLU,
1:11:21
Speaker 1: the American Federation of Teachers, National Education Associations, Southern Poverty
1:11:25
Speaker 1: Law Center, Black Lives Matter, Human Rights Campaign, LGBTQ, activist groups,
1:11:31
Speaker 1: Foreign Connected Palestinian rights others like that. And these aren't
1:11:36
Speaker 1: winning propositions, they're not getting money from you and I
1:11:39
Speaker 1: to support these causes. It's coming from the George Soros
1:11:43
Speaker 1: types of the world. But also again things like entities
1:11:47
Speaker 1: like USAID. I keep going back to the original work
1:11:51
Speaker 1: that Doge did and sadly didn't come out and amount
1:11:54
Speaker 1: to a whole lot compared to what we were promised.
1:11:56
Speaker 1: But do you think really anybody was clamoring for politicians
1:11:59
Speaker 1: to fund crazy research projects involving transvestite lesbians in China
1:12:05
Speaker 1: or whatever. That may be an overstatement of the absurdity,
1:12:08
Speaker 1: but you can pick your own really genuine absurd program
1:12:10
Speaker 1: that was in fact being funded by your taxpayer dollars.
1:12:13
Speaker 1: So that maybe he may be onto something there part
1:12:16
Speaker 1: and swam, so I'll let you read it for yourself.
1:12:19
Speaker 1: Since we don't have Congressman Davidson, I'm kind of left
1:12:22
Speaker 1: reeling over which direction I want to go right now.
1:12:24
Speaker 1: So the phone lines are open, Why don't you call
1:12:25
Speaker 1: and tell me what you want to talk about? Five one, three, seven, four,
1:12:28
Speaker 1: nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and eight two three
1:12:29
Speaker 1: talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones fast
1:12:32
Speaker 1: forward one hour. Actually, yeah, Take twenty speaker tonight, Empower
1:12:36
Speaker 1: Youamerica dot Org. Now, we heard from Donaldan O'Neil yesterday
1:12:39
Speaker 1: about we have too many little subgovernments in the state
1:12:42
Speaker 1: of Ohio. Some people agree, some people disagree. Devil is
1:12:46
Speaker 1: clearly in the details. He makes some good points, but
1:12:48
Speaker 1: he'll elaborate on that. AFP's Donovan O'Neil tonight at seven pm.
1:12:52
Speaker 1: But that Take twenty segment they do in Empower You seminars.
1:12:55
Speaker 1: That's Eric Conroy today, and we have some hope here
1:12:59
Speaker 1: in the form of Eric Conroy, who's running against Greg Landsman.
1:13:04
Speaker 1: Eric spent a lot of time with the CIA Directorate
1:13:06
Speaker 1: of Operations, served as a case officer. Apparently the agency's
1:13:10
Speaker 1: most prestigious role managing these clandestine operations. Elder High school
1:13:17
Speaker 1: grad from my West Side friends as well, So thanks
1:13:20
Speaker 1: a little. Well, no, I'm not going to hold it
1:13:23
Speaker 1: against them. Every time hear about Elder High School, I
1:13:26
Speaker 1: think about the time my dad told me I was
1:13:28
Speaker 1: not allowed to go there. God rest of my dad. Yes,
1:13:32
Speaker 1: dad was an older high school graduate, thought I was
1:13:35
Speaker 1: spending a little bit too much time with my elder
1:13:38
Speaker 1: high school age friends and didn't want to see that
1:13:41
Speaker 1: go throughout the day. That's the answer I got, Dad.
1:13:43
Speaker 1: Can I go to Elder No, you got two choices,
1:13:48
Speaker 1: son Oakhill's High schoolers Javier University. I chose the former.
1:13:52
Speaker 1: Did not hurt me a whit getting through life. So
1:13:56
Speaker 1: we'll hear from Eric Conroy coming up in eight OZHO
1:13:58
Speaker 1: five and then Special Style. I ain't holding championships. The
1:14:01
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five US Nationals right here in the city
1:14:04
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. Mike Kisel one of those German guys on Facebook.
1:14:08
Speaker 1: He is one. Mike KUIs has been on the show before.
1:14:10
Speaker 1: He along with Ben Huffman, who's the executive director of
1:14:12
Speaker 1: the Cincinnate Regional Sports Commission, I'm gonna talk about this
1:14:15
Speaker 1: prestigious event right here in the city of Cincinnati, with
1:14:18
Speaker 1: profound ties to Germany. Generally speaking, how long can you
1:14:23
Speaker 1: hold up a style? Let's see what Lawrence has got. Lawrence,
1:14:26
Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show.
1:14:29
Speaker 5: Hey, thanks for having me, Brian. I was calling. Yeah,
1:14:33
Speaker 5: I was calling because I.
1:14:35
Speaker 10: Vote they of course my name is Lawrence, I Liddle
1:14:38
Speaker 10: named Florence, but my government name is on this op
1:14:40
Speaker 10: ed I think you referred to I'm glad you talked
1:14:43
Speaker 10: about it.
1:14:44
Speaker 5: Oh yes, expounded upon it a little bit.
1:14:46
Speaker 1: Please do I did. There were two op eds recently,
1:14:49
Speaker 1: both from what sounded to me like discrontal Bond Hill
1:14:52
Speaker 1: residents who all overwhelmingly voted for mare aftab Per of
1:14:56
Speaker 1: all the prior council members all re elected, with the
1:14:58
Speaker 1: exception of the one seat was over and which also
1:15:00
Speaker 1: went Democrat. And there's this project, and you guys were
1:15:03
Speaker 1: the focus of like Hyde Park going up to the election,
1:15:07
Speaker 1: a community that was ignored by the representative government. Am
1:15:10
Speaker 1: I right on that? Generally speaking? Before you dive into
1:15:13
Speaker 1: the details, Lawrence, that's true, all right, so have that it.
1:15:19
Speaker 5: Well, here's the thing, Brian.
1:15:21
Speaker 10: We see the election results, right and I was shocked
1:15:24
Speaker 10: when I seen this obed as well from a bond
1:15:29
Speaker 10: Hill resident. So I was confused, Like, why do you
1:15:35
Speaker 10: tell the politicians to respect you if you feel disrespected
1:15:39
Speaker 10: the week after the election? Like you're supposed to show
1:15:42
Speaker 10: that type of energy before the election to hold them
1:15:45
Speaker 10: accountable for the bad choices that they have been making. Yeah,
1:15:50
Speaker 10: but so to ask them on the back end of
1:15:52
Speaker 10: an election, Hey, you need to respect us, although we
1:15:55
Speaker 10: gave you all our votes. To me, is Asini, it
1:15:58
Speaker 10: makes no sense. And this is how the Democratic Party
1:16:01
Speaker 10: gets away with Robin the African American community political We don't.
1:16:05
Speaker 5: Hold them accountable like we should.
1:16:08
Speaker 10: I just vote straight down a Democratic ticket and it's
1:16:11
Speaker 10: to our own demands.
1:16:13
Speaker 1: Now, why do you think someone would do that? Lawrence?
1:16:15
Speaker 1: And I guess the question is I sort of were
1:16:18
Speaker 1: people who actually voted, and I know there's a sad
1:16:20
Speaker 1: reality there only about one in four of the registered
1:16:22
Speaker 1: voters in the city voted. But to the extent they
1:16:24
Speaker 1: were thinking about this, did they think, well, if I
1:16:27
Speaker 1: vote for the current administration again, we put them back
1:16:30
Speaker 1: in that in return for that, they will see that
1:16:32
Speaker 1: my neighborhood, in this case bond Hill gave them the
1:16:35
Speaker 1: love they needed. They overwhelmingly re elected them, so we
1:16:37
Speaker 1: will get what we are looking for, as opposed to
1:16:41
Speaker 1: getting what you're looking for up front and then voting
1:16:43
Speaker 1: to reward them. So they apparently got it backwards.
1:16:45
Speaker 10: Lawrence, Absolutely, Brian, they got it backwards.
1:16:50
Speaker 5: And here's the point I wanted to make.
1:16:53
Speaker 10: We got to stop voting out of fear as a community,
1:16:56
Speaker 10: as an Afromeric community, we have to stop voting out
1:16:59
Speaker 10: of fear. And I feel like.
1:17:03
Speaker 5: That Corey Bowman was.
1:17:06
Speaker 10: Used as a punching bag to scare black folks into
1:17:10
Speaker 10: voting down the Democratic ticket by saying, oh, this is J. D.
1:17:13
Speaker 10: Vance's brother. And the media is part of the blame too,
1:17:16
Speaker 10: because every time Corey got some ink on him, they
1:17:19
Speaker 10: always mentioned the vice president.
1:17:22
Speaker 1: I know, but Lawrence, let me ask you a more
1:17:24
Speaker 1: basic question. You're absolutely right in how they and how
1:17:27
Speaker 1: they characterize Corny Bowman as JD. Vance's brother. But let
1:17:31
Speaker 1: me ask you this. That's apparently toxic to members of
1:17:34
Speaker 1: the black community. As you say, why would the black
1:17:37
Speaker 1: community have any fear or worry about JD. Vance? I mean,
1:17:41
Speaker 1: what threat does he represent to you or anybody else
1:17:44
Speaker 1: in the black community, Lawrence.
1:17:46
Speaker 10: I mean, for me, jd Vance, the current Vice President
1:17:49
Speaker 10: of the United States, is not a threat to me.
1:17:52
Speaker 1: Right.
1:17:53
Speaker 10: I believe that a lot of times the Afrimair community
1:17:58
Speaker 10: has been groomed to vote Democrats. The civil rights the
1:18:01
Speaker 10: voted rights that excuse me, in the sixties, way before
1:18:04
Speaker 10: my time. So as I grew up as a young man,
1:18:07
Speaker 10: the city is Cincinnati, because I was born and raised here,
1:18:09
Speaker 10: Democratic politics was always something that was pushed on our community,
1:18:15
Speaker 10: something that we still have yet to break free from
1:18:18
Speaker 10: as a community. And until that happens, we get these
1:18:22
Speaker 10: bad results, like you know, straight Democrats, no opposition our
1:18:27
Speaker 10: city council, no accountability for the mayor although we've seen
1:18:31
Speaker 10: the entire year in the last four years, rather that
1:18:34
Speaker 10: he has been ineffective.
1:18:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, and several decades of ineffective Democratic administrations, I might
1:18:41
Speaker 1: point out, Lawrence. Do you feel like your neighborhood has
1:18:44
Speaker 1: improved over the same past ten years, fifteen years or so?
1:18:48
Speaker 1: Is your are your roads? Have they been paved? Is
1:18:51
Speaker 1: your neighborhood does it feel safe or maybe less safe
1:18:53
Speaker 1: than it used to be? I mean, what reward and
1:18:56
Speaker 1: benefit did your particular community or you individually Lawrence get
1:18:59
Speaker 1: by virtue of voting Democrat in the city of Cincinnati
1:19:03
Speaker 1: for the past forty I guess it's been like forty years.
1:19:06
Speaker 10: I mean my community, the black community, we have not
1:19:10
Speaker 10: benefited from it. It's like, you know, there's some people
1:19:14
Speaker 10: who push this Democratic agenda just to keep control with
1:19:18
Speaker 10: the Black community. It's not the better it you know,
1:19:21
Speaker 10: it's to keep control. It's to make sure that Democrats
1:19:24
Speaker 10: keep getting elected vocally. And the reality is that is
1:19:28
Speaker 10: to the detriment of our community. Time example, like I
1:19:31
Speaker 10: vote about Bond Hill, Like you didn't want high density
1:19:36
Speaker 10: and near these homes where people are invested trying to
1:19:39
Speaker 10: get generational wealth for their family, majority African American people,
1:19:42
Speaker 10: but you vote.
1:19:43
Speaker 5: For the folks who are destroying your home values.
1:19:47
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, it's like like this is this is craziness,
1:19:50
Speaker 10: and I just, I just I want to continue to
1:19:53
Speaker 10: work in Cincinnati to try to break people's minds free
1:19:58
Speaker 10: of that Democratic ticket. I'm I like to call it
1:20:01
Speaker 10: crack Oka. You know, it's addictive and it's destructive and
1:20:06
Speaker 10: hopefully at some point we understand that lexis have consequences
1:20:10
Speaker 10: and maybe while he will get that message.
1:20:12
Speaker 1: You know what Lawrence. Honestly, I really thought this might
1:20:15
Speaker 1: have been I tried my best to be optimistic that
1:20:17
Speaker 1: that realization would have finally dawned on at least the
1:20:21
Speaker 1: residence of bond Hill or at least the residence of
1:20:24
Speaker 1: Hyde Park, because those are the two most egregious examples
1:20:26
Speaker 1: of this particular council in this particular mayor basically ignoring
1:20:30
Speaker 1: what you want. I mean, look what Hyde Park was
1:20:33
Speaker 1: able to get a ballot initiative on to reverse that
1:20:35
Speaker 1: ridiculous project that the city approved over the will of
1:20:38
Speaker 1: the residence of hyde Park, only to see Hyde Park
1:20:41
Speaker 1: goes seventy five percent to have to have perv all
1:20:43
Speaker 1: the balancer council. In the aftermath, they rewarded.
1:20:47
Speaker 5: So this apartment of white community.
1:20:48
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
1:20:52
Speaker 10: I'm just I mean, I'm glad you pointed Hot Park
1:20:55
Speaker 10: out by He'll triggered me because of the op ed.
1:20:58
Speaker 10: But you point out what High Park is, right. You know,
1:21:00
Speaker 10: they fight so hard to protect the character the community,
1:21:04
Speaker 10: only to give power back to the politicians who try
1:21:06
Speaker 10: to destroy it.
1:21:07
Speaker 1: It's crazy.
1:21:08
Speaker 10: It's a Stockholm syndrome type of mentality. Well, the white community,
1:21:12
Speaker 10: it's like the Democrats are good, Republican bad and it's
1:21:16
Speaker 10: like zombies.
1:21:18
Speaker 1: Well I couldn't as summed it up any better. And
1:21:19
Speaker 1: I'm glad as a member of the black community, Lawrence,
1:21:21
Speaker 1: you see it, and I'm glad you're out there fighting
1:21:23
Speaker 1: to wake people up. You mean, simple questions need to
1:21:26
Speaker 1: be asked. Are you better off now than you were before?
1:21:28
Speaker 1: What has JD. Vans ever done to you that you
1:21:30
Speaker 1: view them as any kind of threat to you or
1:21:33
Speaker 1: your neighborhood in Cincinnati over which Jdvan says little or
1:21:36
Speaker 1: no control. Ah, there's a billionaire.
1:21:39
Speaker 10: If And I appreciate you pointing out the high Park
1:21:42
Speaker 10: that the same problems going.
1:21:44
Speaker 5: On in the white community.
1:21:45
Speaker 10: It's just a it's a political thing, and we can't
1:21:49
Speaker 10: just paint people in the corners locally as it relates
1:21:54
Speaker 10: to politics like it just it has to change at
1:21:57
Speaker 10: some point in time otherwise you're going to continue to
1:21:59
Speaker 10: get bad policy. I look for the next two years,
1:22:02
Speaker 10: we're gonna get bad policy out of city.
1:22:04
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, Well wait for it, Lawrence. You may get yourself
1:22:07
Speaker 1: a second leg of the street car too, Lauren.
1:22:13
Speaker 14: That might be on that.
1:22:14
Speaker 2: We'll see though, We'll see.
1:22:15
Speaker 1: And yeah, lead the charge, Laurence, somebody's got to do it.
1:22:18
Speaker 1: You sound like a good man for the job. Thanks
1:22:20
Speaker 1: for calling in. I really appreciate it. You have a great
1:22:23
Speaker 1: weekend Man seven, twenty fifty five car City Dog Station.
1:22:26
Speaker 1: Feel free to call five one three, seven four nine
1:22:28
Speaker 1: fifty seven twenty four Fast Proaching seven twenty five fifty
1:22:32
Speaker 1: five care City Talk Station. We have a moment here
1:22:35
Speaker 1: I had. I alluded to it when I was talking
1:22:37
Speaker 1: to Dave Hatter, and I just my mind is blown,
1:22:39
Speaker 1: although really not overly surprised. I mentioned the fake cowboy
1:22:44
Speaker 1: and fake artificial intelligence created music that is number one
1:22:48
Speaker 1: country charts. Walk My Walk, performed by someone named Breaking Rust,
1:22:53
Speaker 1: number one of Billboard's Country Song Sales Chart Digital Song Sales.
1:22:58
Speaker 1: I don't know who's making the money off of this,
1:23:00
Speaker 1: but artificial intelligence wrote the song, artificial intelligence performed the song.
1:23:04
Speaker 1: This is not a human being, does not exist in
1:23:07
Speaker 1: the flesh, nonetheless pulling in more than two million monthly listeners.
1:23:15
Speaker 1: Apparently the hit performed by the artificial intelligence breaking Russ
1:23:19
Speaker 1: this quote unquote guy living on borrowed times streamed more
1:23:22
Speaker 1: than four million times at least as of reporting from
1:23:26
Speaker 1: two days ago. Is probably ten million by now, So
1:23:32
Speaker 1: it's it's weird, and I think I know some musicians
1:23:39
Speaker 1: and some artists out there, and I just scratched my
1:23:42
Speaker 1: head and wonder how maybe they can compete against something
1:23:46
Speaker 1: like this that literally in a moment's time, insofar as
1:23:49
Speaker 1: lyrics are concerned. I've done this before. I'm jokingly did
1:23:52
Speaker 1: it on the radio program. I did write a punk
1:23:54
Speaker 1: rock song about I can't remember Greta Thunberg or whatever.
1:23:58
Speaker 1: It turned it out in a matter of five seconds.
1:24:00
Speaker 1: I'm great. The lyrics were great, it was comical, it
1:24:02
Speaker 1: was funny, and as I was reading it in my head,
1:24:04
Speaker 1: I actually came up with a tune that went right
1:24:06
Speaker 1: along with it. So this is the the call it creepy,
1:24:11
Speaker 1: or just call it dealing with with with modern reality
1:24:14
Speaker 1: and who cares who wrote it and who cares who
1:24:16
Speaker 1: performed it? If it entertains us and it say, okay,
1:24:18
Speaker 1: I don't know. I really can't view it that way,
1:24:23
Speaker 1: not at all. And then you get that looming question,
1:24:26
Speaker 1: you know, is this really the work of any work
1:24:30
Speaker 1: anybody out there, an author, an artist, an artist of
1:24:35
Speaker 1: any type? Did they personally do this and thus are
1:24:41
Speaker 1: worthy of my respect for their brilliance and their genius
1:24:44
Speaker 1: and composing or or painting or whatever it happens to be.
1:24:50
Speaker 1: You know, it's like sort of equity hires. You know,
1:24:54
Speaker 1: you're a doctor, you're awesome, you legitimately performed, you got
1:24:57
Speaker 1: a great education, you're brilliant by contrast to some of
1:25:01
Speaker 1: your peers. And you're out and you're a doctor, and
1:25:04
Speaker 1: someone looks at you and says, must be a diversity
1:25:07
Speaker 1: hire or something like that. It taints the whole air.
1:25:11
Speaker 1: Did that person really prepare that? Are they worthy of
1:25:14
Speaker 1: my respect for the eloquence that the words that are
1:25:17
Speaker 1: coming out of their mouth suggest? Or they just get
1:25:20
Speaker 1: in front of a computer with their mouth hanging open,
1:25:22
Speaker 1: little drool coming out of the court of their mouth,
1:25:24
Speaker 1: and say, make me a song that's about Greta Thunberg Right.

1:25:47
Speaker 1: welcome to the morning show, my meme loving friend. How
1:25:50
Speaker 1: are you today, Eric?
1:25:53
Speaker 4: I am, well, how are you?
1:25:54
Speaker 1: Brian doing fine?
1:25:55
Speaker 2: Man?
1:25:56
Speaker 1: I enjoy your Facebook posts.
1:26:00
Speaker 4: I figured, hey, since you got time on the air,
1:26:03
Speaker 4: I figured i'd i'd just call in and say I
1:26:07
Speaker 4: appreciate the things that you do, the things that you
1:26:10
Speaker 4: talk about, the perspective you have on just pretty much everything.
1:26:15
Speaker 4: You know, we disagree on certain religious aspects, and I
1:26:19
Speaker 4: don't hold that against anybody. I'm all about people believing
1:26:22
Speaker 4: what they want to believe, as long as they're not
1:26:25
Speaker 4: you know, picking my pocket, breaking my leg, or you know,
1:26:28
Speaker 4: generally keeping it away from my grandkids.
1:26:30
Speaker 1: But true to litarian philosophy, Eric, I know that.
1:26:35
Speaker 4: Absolutely. I mean I've been listening to the KRC Morning
1:26:38
Speaker 4: Show since probably two thousand and three, two thousand and four,
1:26:43
Speaker 4: so back before you were, you know, the main stay
1:26:46
Speaker 4: on the show. But I don't know, You've got your
1:26:50
Speaker 4: ups and downs and in and outs and whatnot. I
1:26:52
Speaker 4: just wanted to express my appreciation that, you know, you
1:26:56
Speaker 4: take the time. I don't know you're getting paid for it,
1:26:58
Speaker 4: but there's also a certain amount of dedication to the
1:27:02
Speaker 4: things that you do. And you know, you can tell
1:27:04
Speaker 4: when somebody's he's just phoning it in and they just
1:27:07
Speaker 4: you know, mouthing the words to uh, well, keep it
1:27:11
Speaker 4: on the air.
1:27:12
Speaker 1: Well, thank you. I appreciate that. You know, this is
1:27:15
Speaker 1: I've said it before. It I have a set of
1:27:17
Speaker 1: principles and convictions, my own ethics and morals, my own
1:27:21
Speaker 1: belief systems, and I'm so firmly wed to them and
1:27:24
Speaker 1: believe in them so firmly that I'll take all comers.
1:27:27
Speaker 1: You don't have to agree with me one hundred percent,
1:27:28
Speaker 1: but I'll defend my belief systems and my perspective, which, again,
1:27:32
Speaker 1: you know, given my little L libertarian leanings, I trust
1:27:35
Speaker 1: you with your decision making. Don't let your decisions interfere
1:27:39
Speaker 1: with my own and my own you know world, my money,
1:27:42
Speaker 1: my pocketbook, and my my sex life. I trust you
1:27:45
Speaker 1: with your zipper and your wallet, like any true liberty
1:27:47
Speaker 1: little L libertarian or capital L libertarian typically does. That's
1:27:51
Speaker 1: what freedom's all about.
1:27:52
Speaker 4: Eric, right, absolutely, And as a as a dear friend
1:27:57
Speaker 4: of mine used to say, his name's Charlie. He's actually
1:28:01
Speaker 4: the guy that got me into listening.
1:28:02
Speaker 16: To your show.
1:28:04
Speaker 4: He used to say, you know, there are choices, challenges
1:28:08
Speaker 4: and changes. You know, you make choices, and those choices
1:28:11
Speaker 4: present challenges. Thouse the way we deal with those challenges
1:28:15
Speaker 4: bring about changes. You know, he's a much wiser man
1:28:19
Speaker 4: than I ever will be. But you know it's you
1:28:22
Speaker 4: have to be prepared to deal with the consequences of
1:28:25
Speaker 4: your decisions.
1:28:26
Speaker 1: Amen. Brother. That's why I start the morning show with
1:28:28
Speaker 1: the song I start with learn to Swim.
1:28:30
Speaker 4: Right here, Learn to Swim. Meet you out in Arizona.
1:28:34
Speaker 1: Bay, Amen, Eric.
1:28:37
Speaker 4: And before I go, I just wanted to say, similar
1:28:41
Speaker 4: to what Tom says, you know, you don't have to
1:28:45
Speaker 4: be a you don't have to be a Republican, but
1:28:49
Speaker 4: you just can't be a Democrat.
1:28:51
Speaker 1: Mirroring a theme that brought up by Lawrence just a
1:28:54
Speaker 1: few moments ago. Eric, God bless you, sir, Appreciate you.
1:28:57
Speaker 1: Seven thirty five Corey, hang on, brother, I know you
1:28:59
Speaker 1: got good things to say say, but I'm seven thirty nine.
1:29:02
Speaker 1: I think you have KARSD talk Station. Happy Friday, Eve,
1:29:07
Speaker 1: just tuning in. We're maring me from early today. Garret
1:29:10
Speaker 1: Jeff Walker is coming for me tomorrow. I'm taking a
1:29:12
Speaker 1: vacation day tomorrow and Monday with Dan Carroll covering for me.
1:29:15
Speaker 1: You are going to be in great hands. It's typical
1:29:18
Speaker 1: Gary Dan. Thanks in advance. I appreciate Corey holding over
1:29:21
Speaker 1: the break. Corey, Welcome to the Morning Show.
1:29:24
Speaker 8: Hello Brian Hey, going off with your last caller said,
1:29:29
Speaker 8: I listened to you every day. I do think you
1:29:32
Speaker 8: have great content. I travel all over the Midwest. I'm
1:29:34
Speaker 8: currently going through ann Arbor on the way to Sagonhall, Michigan,
1:29:39
Speaker 8: and I said, I listen to you if I heart
1:29:42
Speaker 8: app every single day.
1:29:44
Speaker 3: And you guys with me in.
1:29:45
Speaker 8: The truck they listened to you as well.
1:29:47
Speaker 1: But I can't thank you enough for that. And I
1:29:50
Speaker 1: always find it really cool. And somebody calls it from
1:29:52
Speaker 1: out of state with the iHeart I don't know. I
1:29:54
Speaker 1: just I'm I haven't ever gotten use to that concept,
1:29:57
Speaker 1: so it's awesome though. I really think that's cool.
1:30:00
Speaker 8: Well, the reason of my call you're talking about AI.
1:30:06
Speaker 8: I've been playing music since I was eleven. My dream
1:30:08
Speaker 8: has always been to be a professional physician, you know,
1:30:11
Speaker 8: tour all that good stuff, played in front house with people.
1:30:14
Speaker 8: I've larded with the opportunity a couple of times. I've
1:30:17
Speaker 8: never really got there. I'm still trying, But as far
1:30:20
Speaker 8: as the AI thing goes, I don't see really any
1:30:23
Speaker 8: issue with it, because most of your pop music today anyway,
1:30:27
Speaker 8: is so artificially produced. Yeah, somebody writes their songs, their
1:30:32
Speaker 8: voice is so manipulated, and the radio stations, the radio programmer,
1:30:38
Speaker 8: the artists, record company pays the radio stations to play
1:30:43
Speaker 8: the music you hear. That's why it's the same ten
1:30:46
Speaker 8: songs constantly on rotation. And people ask me why do
1:30:50
Speaker 8: I listen to talk radio, and I always tell them
1:30:52
Speaker 8: because I get tired of hearing the same ten songs
1:30:54
Speaker 8: every single hour of every radio station.
1:30:58
Speaker 4: Idio, mainstream radio is.
1:30:59
Speaker 14: So that's why I.
1:31:03
Speaker 1: Well, I really appreciate the kind words, and I'm honored
1:31:06
Speaker 1: that you would choose my radio program to listen to
1:31:08
Speaker 1: among the I don't know how many thousands or maybe
1:31:10
Speaker 1: out in the world that you could stream through an app.
1:31:14
Speaker 1: So that to me, I'm honored by that reality. But
1:31:16
Speaker 1: I will correct you because Joe Streker was shaking his
1:31:18
Speaker 1: head and I was shaking my head. No, that's not
1:31:21
Speaker 1: how the financial reality works. If we play a song,
1:31:25
Speaker 1: we have to pay the artist, So nobody's paying us
1:31:28
Speaker 1: to play a particular song. That's a banned by the FCC.
1:31:31
Speaker 1: It's called playola and you can't do that, so we
1:31:37
Speaker 1: would get fined. Yeah, find big time. I think that
1:31:39
Speaker 1: is a gross understatement. Streker, Yes, it would subject us
1:31:43
Speaker 1: to massive financial penalties. When you hear that same song
1:31:46
Speaker 1: over and over again, I guess it's like that artificially
1:31:48
Speaker 1: intelligence created country music song that people are going wild
1:31:51
Speaker 1: for even though it isn't created by a human being,
1:31:54
Speaker 1: that people would just want to hear it. I mean,
1:32:00
Speaker 1: I'm sure we can all remember periods of time in
1:32:03
Speaker 1: our lives when you turned on a radio you couldn't
1:32:05
Speaker 1: get away from a song. Why because it was the
1:32:07
Speaker 1: Billboard top ten or something like that, and if you
1:32:09
Speaker 1: were playing it that people would stay tuned into your
1:32:12
Speaker 1: show because the song was popular. And you get into
1:32:15
Speaker 1: this death spirl coupled with programming that uses those sort
1:32:20
Speaker 1: of research numbers and artificial intelligence, let's say, kind of
1:32:23
Speaker 1: operation where it used to be a human being like
1:32:25
Speaker 1: a randomly and picking songs that the jockey of the
1:32:28
Speaker 1: disc jockey used to like back in the day. He
1:32:30
Speaker 1: gets like pirate radio sort of concepts where man, I've
1:32:33
Speaker 1: never heard that anywhere, nobody's playing that that's how a
1:32:35
Speaker 1: lot of people were introduced to different types of music.
1:32:37
Speaker 1: Well that's been taken away now. It's sort of one
1:32:39
Speaker 1: size fits all programming. They figure out what most popular
1:32:43
Speaker 1: songs are, they put them in a rotation regularly, and
1:32:46
Speaker 1: you hit play and you're stuck with it. So that's
1:32:48
Speaker 1: my perception of how things are working. And again, the
1:32:51
Speaker 1: FCC strictly prohibits playing things in return for compensation, so
1:32:57
Speaker 1: it tends to work the opposite way. But Dan, you're
1:33:00
Speaker 1: dissatisfaction with it, And yes, I share your belief about
1:33:02
Speaker 1: modern music sucking. You got harmonizers and fake voices and
1:33:06
Speaker 1: any idiot standing there and what they do it's oh,
1:33:09
Speaker 1: let us, let us go way back. Here's a blast
1:33:13
Speaker 1: in the past. You've got to get a chuckle out
1:33:15
Speaker 1: of some of these people. You remember the Brady Bunch
1:33:17
Speaker 1: episode where Mike, the oldest Brady kid, what was his name, Mike?
1:33:23
Speaker 1: That was the husband Greg Greg Remember anybody remember Johnny Bravo.
1:33:29
Speaker 1: I think it was some music company. They had a suit.
1:33:32
Speaker 1: It was sort of like a matador's uniform, and he
1:33:36
Speaker 1: thought he landed this great musical gig, this record gig,
1:33:39
Speaker 1: and it turns out the only reason they hired him,
1:33:41
Speaker 1: as opposed to any other human being, was because he
1:33:44
Speaker 1: fit the suit. And that's even more true these days.
1:33:50
Speaker 1: I need a good looking person standing there on stage. No,
1:33:54
Speaker 1: I don't care whether they can sing or not. Just
1:33:56
Speaker 1: give me a really good looking person. We can sell
1:33:58
Speaker 1: based upon their image, will create image around them, will
1:34:01
Speaker 1: sell it massively, infuse on social media, and we'll just
1:34:04
Speaker 1: use some sort of mechanical device to make them sound
1:34:06
Speaker 1: like they actually can carry a tune when maybe they can't.
1:34:11
Speaker 1: They pulled that off with Millie Vanilli way way back,
1:34:14
Speaker 1: a long time before we even had artificial intelligence. Walking
1:34:18
Speaker 1: down memory lane five one three, seven, four nine fifty
1:34:20
Speaker 1: five hundred eight hundred eight two three talk found five
1:34:23
Speaker 1: fifty on AT and T phones. And since I mentioned
1:34:26
Speaker 1: memory Lane earlier this morning, Pat was called dismayed by
1:34:30
Speaker 1: how dangerous it is now in certain neighborhoods where she
1:34:33
Speaker 1: remembered when she was a kid that she could walk
1:34:35
Speaker 1: around and feel safe even as a child. And well,
1:34:38
Speaker 1: thus it has ever been. You know, there's all kinds
1:34:40
Speaker 1: of neighborhoods that have changed dramatically. The question is what
1:34:42
Speaker 1: do we do about crime?
1:34:43
Speaker 2: Now?
1:34:43
Speaker 1: This was in the context of the new curfews that
1:34:45
Speaker 1: are being put in place by pervol and city Council,
1:34:49
Speaker 1: and I set out loud. I remember when I was
1:34:52
Speaker 1: a really little kid walking down to the king Quick store's,
1:34:56
Speaker 1: the one on Knee Road there near Rapid Run. I
1:34:59
Speaker 1: used to walk down there Devil's Backbone. If you're not
1:35:01
Speaker 1: familiar with that, doesn't mean anything to you. Devil's Backbone
1:35:04
Speaker 1: not necessarily a safe road because of the way it
1:35:08
Speaker 1: used to be back then. It's still windy, it's still twisty,
1:35:10
Speaker 1: but back then it was just an undivided two lane road.
1:35:13
Speaker 1: Country kind of road, very country kind of road. I
1:35:15
Speaker 1: don't matter what. My sister and I were able to
1:35:16
Speaker 1: walk about two miles to go down to the king
1:35:18
Speaker 1: Quick by ourselves, and we loved it. Go down and
1:35:23
Speaker 1: buy Penny candy. My friend Curbbage Mike, I've mentioned him
1:35:28
Speaker 1: many times. He's a retired submarin er guy military. He said.
1:35:33
Speaker 1: My dad sold a family grocery store back in nineteen
1:35:36
Speaker 1: sixty eight and over the road went to be the
1:35:38
Speaker 1: manager at king Quick's stores. Generally speaking, he said, the
1:35:41
Speaker 1: store at and even Rapid Run was his first store.
1:35:44
Speaker 1: I thought, wow, that's a small It's just an amazing
1:35:47
Speaker 1: coincidence there. But then that reminded me, when do you remember,
1:35:50
Speaker 1: Since inflation is a real problem these days and it's
1:35:53
Speaker 1: on everybody's lips, when do you remember your first encounter
1:35:58
Speaker 1: with inflation? Mine was at King Quick because my sister
1:36:03
Speaker 1: and I would walk down there to buy penny candy
1:36:06
Speaker 1: and you get those little tiny white paper bags and
1:36:08
Speaker 1: you have the guy behind the counter, and I want
1:36:10
Speaker 1: one of those. I want one of those. They were
1:36:11
Speaker 1: a penny apiece. I remember how shocked and heartbroken I
1:36:15
Speaker 1: was when they went up to two cents apiece, and
1:36:17
Speaker 1: then not that long thereafter, they went up to five
1:36:19
Speaker 1: cents apiece. This was during the seventies when we were
1:36:22
Speaker 1: dealing with massive inflation along with the stagnant economy. So
1:36:26
Speaker 1: thanks for that blast from the past. My first experience
1:36:28
Speaker 1: with inflation. King Quick run by Cribbage Mike's dad seven
1:36:34

1:36:36
Speaker 1: feel free to give me a call. Monday is today.

Speaker 1: I hope the weather holds. I haven't even looked at
1:36:40
Speaker 1: forecast from Monday, but I'm talking about galaxy, concrete cuttings
1:36:43
Speaker 1: and the surface app seven fifty two five gar C
1:36:50
Speaker 1: detalk station. At the top of the hour, news Eric Conroy,
1:36:53
Speaker 1: he'll be the Take twenty speaker, and y empower use
1:36:55
Speaker 1: some of our former CIA operative running for Congress against Greig.
1:37:00
Speaker 1: We'll learn about what Eric's all about. Well, here about
1:37:02
Speaker 1: what he's going to be talking about tonight. The Empower
1:37:03
Speaker 1: You America Seminar. Go to Empower You America dot organ
1:37:06
Speaker 1: either show up in person or log in from home.
1:37:08
Speaker 1: Just make sure you register ahead of time. Jay, thanks
1:37:11
Speaker 1: for calling this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show.
1:37:14
Speaker 17: Hey, good morning, Bryant. I am calling in.
1:37:17
Speaker 8: It's bittersweet.
1:37:19
Speaker 17: I am sad that the government shut down is over.
1:37:22
Speaker 17: I am proud that the American people found out that
1:37:26
Speaker 17: how painless it is to shut down the government for
1:37:29
Speaker 17: ten percent of the year and almost you know, if
1:37:32
Speaker 17: we want to cut government spending, that's the only way
1:37:34
Speaker 17: to do it. Maybe we need to just do that
1:37:37
Speaker 17: every year. Is just figure it into the system of
1:37:41
Speaker 17: running the federal government that forty days a year, you're
1:37:44
Speaker 17: going to shut this thing down until we have this
1:37:47
Speaker 17: budget balanced and then they can make all the you know,
1:37:51
Speaker 17: all the arrangements and change what they need to change
1:37:53
Speaker 17: to make sure that the people that need to work
1:37:56
Speaker 17: get paid. But second point, as if people think that
1:38:01
Speaker 17: this air travel is going to go back to normal,
1:38:04
Speaker 17: I got news for him. I've been I travel a lot,
1:38:07
Speaker 17: and it's been severely broken since May I stopped air travel.
1:38:12
Speaker 17: I'm driving everywhere. I'm just on my way back from
1:38:15
Speaker 17: Rhode Island. I've driven down to Florida. And here's the
1:38:20
Speaker 17: here's the truth. Whenever you fly versus drive, you're saving
1:38:25
Speaker 17: yourself only a couple hours from Rhode Island CVG to
1:38:29
Speaker 17: Rhode Island or CVG to to Florida, Northern Florida. You're
1:38:36
Speaker 17: really not gaining much, but you sure are taking a risk.
1:38:39
Speaker 17: And I think it goes back and nobody's talking about this.
1:38:41
Speaker 17: It goes back to the COVID era, whenever air traffic
1:38:44
Speaker 17: controllers and pilots were told you either take this experimental
1:38:48
Speaker 17: job or you're not going to have a job, and
1:38:51
Speaker 17: we lost a ton of people. Plug the infrastructure being
1:38:55
Speaker 17: nineteen seventies floppy discs that I learned by listening to
1:38:58
Speaker 17: your program.
1:38:59
Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah it is.
1:39:01
Speaker 6: It is bad.
1:39:04
Speaker 17: So we think we needed to turn this government back
1:39:07
Speaker 17: on so we could all start traveling again. Brace yourself.
1:39:11
Speaker 5: Folk.
1:39:11
Speaker 17: So this Thanksgiving and Christmas season, if you think it's
1:39:14
Speaker 17: going to be like it was two years ago, three
1:39:17
Speaker 17: years ago, five years ago, good luck for me. I'm
1:39:20
Speaker 17: going to contain it to drive until they can prove
1:39:22
Speaker 17: that they can get made from point A to point being,
1:39:25
Speaker 17: not hang me out to drive every fricking week.
1:39:28
Speaker 1: I understand the decision making, Jay, but I am sure
1:39:31
Speaker 1: that you are a confident driver that doesn't mind being
1:39:33
Speaker 1: behind the wheel. If we had all the people who
1:39:35
Speaker 1: choose air traffic as to fly as opposed to driving,
1:39:40
Speaker 1: and the reason many of them fly is because they
1:39:42
Speaker 1: are not competent drivers who feel comfortable behind the wheel
1:39:46
Speaker 1: and shouldn't be on the road anyway, that you've got
1:39:48
Speaker 1: a bigger problem on your end if we turn our
1:39:50
Speaker 1: back on air traffic. Point well taken note, Jay, I'm
1:39:54
Speaker 1: with you. But the other thing I got to interject,
1:39:57
Speaker 1: did we really save anything by having the government shut down?
1:40:02
Speaker 1: You saw what was negotiated. Return all the fired employees
1:40:05
Speaker 1: to their job, give everybody the back pay that we
1:40:07
Speaker 1: anticipated they were going to get. Anyway, we obviously had
1:40:10
Speaker 1: the debt service on all the real estate government owes
1:40:13
Speaker 1: the property tax pills that are doing everything else that
1:40:16
Speaker 1: goes along with ownership of any property. They had to
1:40:19
Speaker 1: deal with that, they continued to have to deal with that,
1:40:21
Speaker 1: and of course that's an ongoing expense. It never does
1:40:23
Speaker 1: go away so effectively, while most of our lives weren't
1:40:28
Speaker 1: impacted by it, wor to some degree, we didn't save anything. No,
1:40:35
Speaker 1: so just making a point on that. Seventy five coming up,
1:40:39
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to having Eric Conroy on the show.
1:40:42
Speaker 1: He's goin to come on the Empower You Summonar tonight again.
1:40:44
Speaker 1: Empoweroamerica dot Org. Eric Conroy with the CIA for a
1:40:47
Speaker 1: long time. Yes, I'm going to ask him if the
1:40:49
Speaker 1: CIA got paid during the shutdown. But beyond that, we're
1:40:52
Speaker 1: going to learn who Eric is because I'm thinking, based
1:40:55
Speaker 1: upon what I've read about him, he's a hell of
1:40:58
Speaker 1: a lot better choice than Greg Landsman. That'll be next
1:41:01
Speaker 1: Today's Tough Headlines coming eight six at fifty five Garric
1:41:06
Speaker 1: de Talk Station. Friday Eve, last day of the week
1:41:10
Speaker 1: for me. He got Gary Jeff Walker covering for me
1:41:12
Speaker 1: tomorrow on Monday's vacation day be covered by Dan Carrier
1:41:15
Speaker 1: in great Hands and Thanks to both of those guys,
1:41:17
Speaker 1: and thanks for joining the fifty five Carcy this morning
1:41:19
Speaker 1: to do the Take twenty seminar and empower Youoamerica dot org.
1:41:22
Speaker 1: You'll find out some information about what's going on tonight.
1:41:24
Speaker 1: Empower You Studios located at three hundred Great Oaks Drive.
1:41:28
Speaker 1: You can show up live and in person at seven
1:41:30
Speaker 1: pm when the kickoff time begins. We heard from Americans
1:41:32
Speaker 1: were prosperity Donovan o'eil yesterday. He'll be talking about while
1:41:35
Speaker 1: Hiowa's government is so overpriced compared to other state governments,
1:41:38
Speaker 1: with some ideas from AFP on that. But you'll also
1:41:41
Speaker 1: get the Take twenty which is a shorter little segment
1:41:45
Speaker 1: by my guest this morning, and I'm so pleased to
1:41:46
Speaker 1: have him on the morning show, Eric Conroy. He grew
1:41:50
Speaker 1: up on the West Side, went to Elder High School.
1:41:52
Speaker 1: I know that pleases my West Side friends. Apparently comes
1:41:55
Speaker 1: from a military family. His grandfather, World War Two veteran,
1:41:58
Speaker 1: convincing was the right thing to serve his country and
1:42:00
Speaker 1: his community. He did so. After nine to eleven, he
1:42:03
Speaker 1: graduated from the US Air Force Academy near the top
1:42:06
Speaker 1: of his class, rose to the rank of Captain in
1:42:09
Speaker 1: Special Operations Unit. Then he went on to this CIA
1:42:13
Speaker 1: as a case officer, and that's what he's going to
1:42:15
Speaker 1: be talking about tonight for the Empower You America Seminar
1:42:18
Speaker 1: his time as a CIA case officer. Welcome to the program.
1:42:21
Speaker 1: It's a real pleasure to have you on and thank
1:42:23
Speaker 1: you for your service for our country.
1:42:24
Speaker 14: Eric Conroy, Hey, good morning, thanks for having me.
1:42:28
Speaker 1: Happy to a lot of my Westside friends are really
1:42:31
Speaker 1: excited about I hate. A couple of people actually text
1:42:33
Speaker 1: me yesterday and say, are you going to be talking
1:42:34
Speaker 1: to Eric Conroy to Mark because he's doing an Empower
1:42:36
Speaker 1: You seminar tomorrow and I'm like, okay, I think we are,
1:42:38
Speaker 1: And of course Joe Strecker lined yup. First, I got
1:42:41
Speaker 1: a couple of questions for you before we get I
1:42:43
Speaker 1: want to deal a little bit with your campaign. You're
1:42:45
Speaker 1: running against Greg Landsman, and all my listening audience, at
1:42:48
Speaker 1: least the vast majority of them, are looking for an alternative.
1:42:51
Speaker 1: So I'm going to give them your campaign website. It's simple,
1:42:55
Speaker 1: Ericconroy dot com. Boom right there, Meet the man, meet
1:42:59
Speaker 1: the issues, learn all about him, and yes, you do
1:43:01
Speaker 1: have a better alternative to Greg Landsman. But moving over
1:43:04
Speaker 1: to your time with the CIA, I got a quote,
1:43:06
Speaker 1: and you may take this the wrong way, Eric, I
1:43:08
Speaker 1: have to ask you during the shutdown which just ended
1:43:11
Speaker 1: last night, were the members in the CIA and the
1:43:13
Speaker 1: CIA operations were they being funded or did they have
1:43:16
Speaker 1: to take up pay freeze?
1:43:19
Speaker 14: It really depends on what part right, And you're you're dedicated.
1:43:23
Speaker 3: You're dedicated.
1:43:23
Speaker 14: People in the field are working and.
1:43:25
Speaker 5: Defending this country.
1:43:26
Speaker 14: So it's not much different than how the military operates
1:43:30
Speaker 14: in that regard, all.
1:43:31
Speaker 1: Right, it's just more covert. And yeah, and while you
1:43:33
Speaker 1: were with the CIA, because I have I know people
1:43:35
Speaker 1: who worked for the CIA. I have a current I
1:43:39
Speaker 1: will call him a distant relative by marriage who walks
1:43:42
Speaker 1: around and says he's with the State Department, but he's
1:43:45
Speaker 1: actually with the CIA. Did you go around telling everybody
1:43:47
Speaker 1: with the State Department?
1:43:48
Speaker 14: Eric, Yeah, Brian, I did some very great work for
1:43:53
Speaker 14: our country overseas. I defended this country and it's it's
1:43:57
Speaker 14: been a terrific experience of work for the c i
1:44:00
Speaker 14: A the last well god seven years, and then the
1:44:02
Speaker 14: Air Force for seven years before that. So there are
1:44:06
Speaker 14: great dedicated men and women doing that work in harms
1:44:10
Speaker 14: way overseas and I was really just proud and privileged
1:44:12
Speaker 14: to be a part of it. It was a tremendous experience.
1:44:15
Speaker 1: Fair enough, as a litigation attorney, I'm going to say,
1:44:17
Speaker 1: move to strike, non responsive. I'm just giving you a
1:44:19
Speaker 1: hard time. Eric, just I know, let's CIA get I'm
1:44:22
Speaker 1: with the State Department. I had a college professor who
1:44:24
Speaker 1: literally worked for the CIA said that you hear's somebody say,
1:44:27
Speaker 1: with the State Department, you can pretty much bank on
1:44:29
Speaker 1: the fact of the CIA. All right, moving away in
1:44:32
Speaker 1: your time as a CIA case off operator, what will
1:44:35
Speaker 1: your tasks? And I don't know how much detail you
1:44:38
Speaker 1: can get into And you're gonna be talking about this tonight,
1:44:40
Speaker 1: the empower you seminar, But how much detail you can
1:44:42
Speaker 1: get into some of the type of operations you're involved in.
1:44:44
Speaker 1: But I think everyone views the job is filled with
1:44:47
Speaker 1: intrigue and you know, spying and all this. So what
1:44:51
Speaker 1: did the job entail?
1:44:52
Speaker 5: Eric?
1:44:53
Speaker 14: It is, Well, Hey, what the CIA primarily does is
1:44:56
Speaker 14: this is old school espanage, right, this is meeting people.
1:45:00
Speaker 14: That's kind of like being a special journalist, Right. You
1:45:02
Speaker 14: need to go out in the streets, meet people, understand
1:45:05
Speaker 14: who they are and what they might have, and that
1:45:07
Speaker 14: could be anyone from our foreign adversaries or tyrorist groups.
1:45:11
Speaker 14: And you need to build relationships with people to get
1:45:14
Speaker 14: information that will help protect this country. And I was
1:45:18
Speaker 14: able to do that overseas, both in Eastern Europe and
1:45:20
Speaker 14: in war zones. And it is very much different than
1:45:24
Speaker 14: maybe other ways that the intelligence community may gain information,
1:45:28
Speaker 14: such as pictures from satellite. So this is very old school. Yes,
1:45:31
Speaker 14: it's very romantic, and there are a lot of great
1:45:34
Speaker 14: movies on it as well. You might have seen Zero
1:45:37
Speaker 14: doct thirty or maybe Bridge of Spies, of people going
1:45:40
Speaker 14: out and building relationships and trying to convince people to
1:45:44
Speaker 14: hopefully provide information. And I did that for about seven years.
1:45:48
Speaker 14: It was absolutely amazing.
1:45:50
Speaker 1: Well, there's that it's human versus sigan. You got signal intelligence,
1:45:53
Speaker 1: which is electronic gathering, electronic scooping up of information doesn't
1:45:57
Speaker 1: involve human interaction. And that human intelligence component, which is
1:46:00
Speaker 1: the old school way you're talking about, that's where you
1:46:02
Speaker 1: were involved.
1:46:04
Speaker 14: Exactly right, and you know the line, that's exactly right.
1:46:07
Speaker 14: Human intelligence, which means they're using people as sources of information.
1:46:11
Speaker 14: It's really not much different than being a journalist. Instead
1:46:14
Speaker 14: of asking about you know, Joe Burrows tow you might
1:46:17
Speaker 14: be asking someone about Iranian nuclear missiles. So when those
1:46:21
Speaker 14: are the topics that are involved, the dynamics become much different.
1:46:25
Speaker 14: And that's when you need to really start thinking about
1:46:27
Speaker 14: what you're doing and how you're meeting people, because you
1:46:29
Speaker 14: need to protect the safety of both yourself and whoever
1:46:32
Speaker 14: you're talking to as a source to get that information
1:46:35
Speaker 14: and keep everyone safe.
1:46:36
Speaker 1: Doesn't this require the target of your efforts to develop
1:46:41
Speaker 1: these relationships for them to let their guard down, Because
1:46:44
Speaker 1: if I'm in your role, I'm going to be painfully
1:46:46
Speaker 1: aware of what I'm doing, which is I'm trying to
1:46:48
Speaker 1: get my foot into the door in this person's world
1:46:51
Speaker 1: so they trust me enough to hand off some information.
1:46:53
Speaker 1: Aren't they in that position aware of people like you
1:46:56
Speaker 1: out in the world trying to do that and so
1:46:58
Speaker 1: their guard is perpetually up Or is this easier than
1:47:01
Speaker 1: I might anticipate?
1:47:03
Speaker 14: Well, you know, it's a people business, right, and it
1:47:05
Speaker 14: takes getting to know people and relating to people and
1:47:08
Speaker 14: understanding what their life is like and what they might
1:47:11
Speaker 14: need and where they're at with their personal journey. So
1:47:15
Speaker 14: it's no different than you know, pulling up to a
1:47:17
Speaker 14: bar and talking to your buddies or talking to your friends. Right,
1:47:20
Speaker 14: you have to be a good guy to be able
1:47:23
Speaker 14: to talk to people like that, and people know, right,
1:47:25
Speaker 14: it's really not rocket science. If you can build friends
1:47:28
Speaker 14: as a salesman or as a really just a friend
1:47:32
Speaker 14: and being a good family member and a good person,
1:47:34
Speaker 14: you're probably actually going to be pretty decent at talking
1:47:38
Speaker 14: to people from the other side to find out what's
1:47:41
Speaker 14: going on.
1:47:41
Speaker 1: How do you hone an awareness skill that like, for example,
1:47:45
Speaker 1: I there's a double agent concept that person, let's say,
1:47:48
Speaker 1: becomes aware or new from the get go that you
1:47:51
Speaker 1: Eric Conroy, were actually a CIA operative of trying to
1:47:53
Speaker 1: get your foot in the going to get information that
1:47:55
Speaker 1: they don't feed you intentional wrong information or maybe give
1:47:58
Speaker 1: you a little bit of accurate information which use some
1:48:00
Speaker 1: comfort that they're speaking truthfully only to steer you in
1:48:03
Speaker 1: the wrong direction. That kind of thing goes on all
1:48:05
Speaker 1: the time as well, doesn't it.
1:48:07
Speaker 14: Well, you know, the intelli dis community as a whole,
1:48:09
Speaker 14: think of it as like building a jigsaw puzzle, right,
1:48:12
Speaker 14: and maybe me meeting somebody and finding out one piece
1:48:17
Speaker 14: of information is going to go into a jigsaw puzzle
1:48:19
Speaker 14: combined with a bunch of other sources like you mentioned
1:48:22
Speaker 14: from sigan or imagery to con pile a picture on
1:48:25
Speaker 14: a topic. So that is the goal of the intelligence
1:48:28
Speaker 14: community is to gather information from a range of ways
1:48:32
Speaker 14: and sources to build that picture on a topic. So
1:48:36
Speaker 14: it's really never like a single single point of failure.
1:48:39
Speaker 14: It shouldn't be right. It should be building that nosaic,
1:48:42
Speaker 14: that jigsaw puzzle from a bunch of different angles to
1:48:44
Speaker 14: find out what's really going on.
1:48:46
Speaker 1: Well, and to the extent you were able to. And
1:48:48
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're still bound by some secrets or confidential
1:48:51
Speaker 1: audity rules or correct me if I'm wrong, if you're not,
1:48:53
Speaker 1: But can you put an illustration together of how this
1:48:56
Speaker 1: works a particular operation maybe you were involved with, or
1:48:59
Speaker 1: how you got from point A to point B where
1:49:01
Speaker 1: you can say, yes, I was successful in achieving the
1:49:03
Speaker 1: goal that I was assigned to. Is it possible for
1:49:05
Speaker 1: you to do that in a real context.
1:49:08
Speaker 14: I'll talk about it in a round about way. And
1:49:10
Speaker 14: what what it is is, it's it's no different than
1:49:13
Speaker 14: really being a salesman. Right, you have a sales process.
1:49:16
Speaker 14: Let's say you have you have a lead for a
1:49:19
Speaker 14: maybe to make a particular sale, and you meet that
1:49:22
Speaker 14: person and you cultivate a relationship and you be friends
1:49:24
Speaker 14: with them, and you try to figure out if one
1:49:27
Speaker 14: you're you're going to be good friends, because that's first
1:49:29
Speaker 14: and foremost how anything else in life works. But also
1:49:33
Speaker 14: you figure out there's a good professional fit. So it's
1:49:36
Speaker 14: really not much different than a sales cycle in a
1:49:39
Speaker 14: lot of ways.
1:49:41
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to imagine this scenario. How you would
1:49:43
Speaker 1: you would start this process. Are you placed in a
1:49:45
Speaker 1: particular business or industry where you're assigned to a role as, oh,
1:49:50
Speaker 1: he's the director of you you know, HR or something
1:49:54
Speaker 1: which puts you in a position to interact with the
1:49:55
Speaker 1: folks you're trying to spy on. Is this just like
1:49:58
Speaker 1: running into someone at a bar kind of thing? You
1:50:00
Speaker 1: know where they're going to be and you show up
1:50:01
Speaker 1: and you're like, hey, can I buy you a beer?
1:50:03
Speaker 1: I guess contextually speaking, I'm wondering how this process begins.
1:50:09
Speaker 14: Well, I mean, I'm not going to talk about too
1:50:11
Speaker 14: many specifics because I can't go into too many details,
1:50:14
Speaker 14: but it can arise in a very varied, varied ways. Right,
1:50:20
Speaker 14: There are many different ways, so you can hopefully build
1:50:21
Speaker 14: a relationship with someone and move it to the next level.
1:50:25
Speaker 1: This is I am thoroughly convinced, Eric, and I have
1:50:27
Speaker 1: a feeling you're not gonna be able to answer this
1:50:28
Speaker 1: one or all. But it seems so obvious to me.
1:50:30
Speaker 1: We keep spending billions of dollars to keep the UN open,
1:50:34
Speaker 1: and I keep wondering what we can show for the
1:50:36
Speaker 1: money that we've spent, And the only thing I can
1:50:38
Speaker 1: conclude is that it's a wonderful source, a resource for
1:50:41
Speaker 1: us to gather secrets and information from foreign nationals, and
1:50:44
Speaker 1: that's why we pay the bill. It's a spy operation.
1:50:47
Speaker 1: Any truth that Are you going to dodge that one?
1:50:49
Speaker 14: Eric, The UN is a radical leftist institution that we
1:50:54
Speaker 14: maybe consider cutting some funny for so I'm in that camp.
1:50:58
Speaker 14: The UN has been particularly in did a lot of
1:51:00
Speaker 14: things over the years. You probably use less funding as
1:51:04
Speaker 14: opposed to more funding.
1:51:06
Speaker 1: All right, So I'm going to go with a yes
1:51:07
Speaker 1: on that one as well. Like this, like the estate
1:51:10
Speaker 1: Department answer, and now moving over to your campaign, ericconroyd
1:51:14
Speaker 1: dot com. People get all the information and I hope Eric,
1:51:16
Speaker 1: you and I'll be talking quite a few times before
1:51:18
Speaker 1: next year's election because my listening audience and I would
1:51:21
Speaker 1: like to unsee Greg Lansman and you may be demand
1:51:23
Speaker 1: for the job. So if you really had to pinpoint
1:51:26
Speaker 1: something that is near and dear to your heart, what's
1:51:28
Speaker 1: driving you to run for Congress? Among all these issues transportation, infrastructure,
1:51:32
Speaker 1: border security, neighborhoods, jobs, economy, what's Eric Conroy's main goal
1:51:36
Speaker 1: to at once elected to Congress?
1:51:39
Speaker 2: Sure?
1:51:39
Speaker 14: Well, I have become concerned and passionate about the economic
1:51:43
Speaker 14: and social trajectory of this region for some time and
1:51:46
Speaker 14: believe we need the common sense representative to take it
1:51:49
Speaker 14: into the future. Right, we just saw our incumbent Democrat
1:51:53
Speaker 14: vote no to reopen the government along with this radical
1:51:57
Speaker 14: leftist Cronius to gain really very little if any political
1:52:01
Speaker 14: leverage in the process to appease their radical leftist base.
1:52:05
Speaker 14: And to me, you just demonstrate that Greg Lansman is
1:52:08
Speaker 14: not the moderate he claims. It's not the moderate Democrat
1:52:12
Speaker 14: he claims, and he is unfit to lead. What we
1:52:14
Speaker 14: need here is we need a leader to make common
1:52:16
Speaker 14: sense decisions for this region and I hope to bring
1:52:18
Speaker 14: that next year.
1:52:19
Speaker 5: And this is not Great Landsman.
1:52:21
Speaker 1: I agree completely with that. So as we move forward
1:52:23
Speaker 1: toward the election, hopefully get Eric ond you get to
1:52:25
Speaker 1: come on the program again. We'll talk about issues as
1:52:28
Speaker 1: we move forward toward next year.
1:52:30
Speaker 14: Eric, Yeah, thank you so much.
1:52:33
Speaker 1: That's yes, all right. Got an ask out of Eric
1:52:35
Speaker 1: Conroy Ericconroy dot com and log in tonight from home
1:52:38
Speaker 1: or show up at three hundred grede Oaks drive to
1:52:40
Speaker 1: the Empower Youth Seminar where you can hear Eric with
1:52:42
Speaker 1: his take twenty plus again Donald and Neil from Americans
1:52:46
Speaker 1: for Prosperity about overpriced government here in the state of
1:52:48
Speaker 1: Ohio tonight at seven pm. Make sure you're registered though
1:52:52
Speaker 1: eight seventeen right now fifty five KRC the talk station
1:52:55
Speaker 1: don't go way fifty five KRC after sixty years. So
1:53:01
Speaker 1: did you hear? Yes? And those answers? I did. Hated
1:53:05
Speaker 1: me to give him a hard time though, but come on,
1:53:08
Speaker 1: State Department, Kaddy said, yeah, that's what we call ourselves,
1:53:11
Speaker 1: members of the State Department. I had no doubt that
1:53:14
Speaker 1: he would conclude that the CIA serves the American interest
1:53:17
Speaker 1: in some capacity or another. Anyhow, fun stuff with Eric Conroy,
1:53:21
Speaker 1: and we'll give him a fair shake since he is
1:53:23
Speaker 1: running against Landsman, and I checked out his issues. He
1:53:25
Speaker 1: seems to me in the right space, our right page
1:53:27
Speaker 1: in terms of all the issues my listening audience cares about.
1:53:30
Speaker 1: UH five. On three seven and two three Talk, we'll
1:53:34
Speaker 1: be talking about the twenty twenty five US National Steinholding
1:53:38
Speaker 1: Championships in the next segment with Mike Kisel, one of
1:53:40
Speaker 1: the those German guy guys. Mike Kaisel is going to
1:53:43
Speaker 1: return to the program along with Ben Huffman, the executive
1:53:46
Speaker 1: director of the Cincinne Regional Sports Commission, putting Cincinnati on
1:53:49
Speaker 1: the map. We don't need the Olympics now, we don't
1:53:53
Speaker 1: need an NC two A final. We've got the twenty
1:53:57
Speaker 1: twenty five US National Steinhold Holding Championships going on. It's
1:54:02
Speaker 1: far more important and something that's frightening, truly frightening. I've
1:54:06
Speaker 1: seen quite a few articles of late about grades. For example,
1:54:14
Speaker 1: one that just recently showed up, just a couple of
1:54:16
Speaker 1: days ago. Harvard says it's handing out too many a's students.
1:54:19
Speaker 1: A little upset about that grade inflation a massive problem.
1:54:23
Speaker 1: Harvard just one of just any number of schools, if
1:54:26
Speaker 1: not all of them, who've inflated grades so sixty percent
1:54:30
Speaker 1: of every graduate out of Harvard has got basically straight a's.
1:54:36
Speaker 1: Harvard report on its undergraduate college found that about sixty
1:54:38
Speaker 1: percent of grades were a's during the twenty twenty four
1:54:40
Speaker 1: to twenty five high school year. Our school year, I
1:54:42
Speaker 1: jumped from only twenty five percent a mere twenty years ago.
1:54:49
Speaker 1: That's a problem. If you find Elisa Finley's off that
1:54:54
Speaker 1: piece from the ninth of November, grade inflation produced Mom
1:54:57
Speaker 1: Domni's proletariat. She had an interesting sort of thing.
1:55:00
Speaker 5: Too.
1:55:00
Speaker 1: Many young college graduates are unemployed. They aren't willing or
1:55:03
Speaker 1: able to do the jobs that are available. They went
1:55:05
Speaker 1: and got a degree that is valueless in society, and
1:55:08
Speaker 1: they realize they can't get a job, their dream job,
1:55:11
Speaker 1: but they're unwilling to lift a finger of work. And
1:55:13
Speaker 1: she says, you know, a lot of these young people
1:55:15
Speaker 1: their parents pay for college and they can go work
1:55:17
Speaker 1: in their live in their parents' house. But some of
1:55:19
Speaker 1: them are going to have to actually go out and
1:55:21
Speaker 1: work and it's really angering them. So, according to her
1:55:28
Speaker 1: analysis October twenty twenty four, to thirty point four percent
1:55:33
Speaker 1: of young people age twenty to twenty nine years old
1:55:35
Speaker 1: who earned bachelor's degrees. We're not working. That isn't we're
1:55:41
Speaker 1: not working in the field of their degree. It's they
1:55:44
Speaker 1: just were not working compared with twenty one point nine
1:55:48
Speaker 1: percent of those who had earned their associate degrees during
1:55:51
Speaker 1: the same period, a lesser degree of course, more people
1:55:53
Speaker 1: working though anyway. And then this figure that I read
1:56:02
Speaker 1: article yesterday from David Storm. You see San Diego University
1:56:08
Speaker 1: of California, San Diego incoming students can't do basic math.
1:56:12
Speaker 1: Headline on that one, they says math professors are ringing
1:56:15
Speaker 1: alarm bells about the disastrous decline in students' ability to
1:56:18
Speaker 1: do even basic math. Get a load of this one.
1:56:23
Speaker 1: Almost fifteen percent of incoming students, this is college incoming
1:56:29
Speaker 1: college You see San Diego students cannot perform math at
1:56:34
Speaker 1: a first grade level. Doubling down, Fewer than one in
1:56:42
Speaker 1: five can even perform math at an eighth grade level.
1:56:48
Speaker 1: Fewer than one in five. Now, going back to grade
1:56:54
Speaker 1: inflation within colleges, isn't this an indication of grade inflation
1:56:59
Speaker 1: in high school? If you got a diploma, which obviously
1:57:01
Speaker 1: is a is a necessary thing to get into a college,
1:57:04
Speaker 1: whether it's UC, San Diego, University of Cincinnati. You gotta
1:57:07
Speaker 1: have that high school certificate. It suggests that you've done
1:57:10
Speaker 1: work that brings you up to a grade twelve level understanding.
1:57:14
Speaker 1: You know, you got acd's and SATs that used to
1:57:16
Speaker 1: weed people out who didn't have that, But they don't
1:57:18
Speaker 1: even use those anymore. So that's how you can have
1:57:20
Speaker 1: college age kids who can't even perform math at a
1:57:23
Speaker 1: first grade level. That there's one of them is insane
1:57:26
Speaker 1: to me. How did that person get into college? We
1:57:31
Speaker 1: are dumbing down America's young people. That may be intentional,
1:57:36
Speaker 1: because you know, a domb young person who's afraid of working,
1:57:39
Speaker 1: like the other articles suggested, who doesn't like the idea
1:57:41
Speaker 1: of even working at all. That is a mechanism. As
1:57:45
Speaker 1: she concluded, Great Inflation produced mom Dommy's proletariat the headline,
1:57:50
Speaker 1: you end up voting for someone who promises to give
1:57:52
Speaker 1: you free stuff and things because well, so far, I
1:57:55
Speaker 1: guess things haven't worked out real well for you. And
1:57:57
Speaker 1: sometimes the reason it didn't work out real well for
1:58:00
Speaker 1: you look in the mirror. That's what high school was
1:58:05
Speaker 1: four learning basic math. How did you make it even
1:58:09
Speaker 1: to a freshman in high school if you can't perform
1:58:11
Speaker 1: math at a grade one level. A twenty six fifty
1:58:15
Speaker 1: five KR city talk station, beer Steinholding, the Nationals coming
1:58:20
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati. Mi Kaislin Ben Hoffman up next, that we
1:58:22
Speaker 1: can stick around fifty five. It's a thirty here, fifty
1:58:28
Speaker 1: five krsity talk station. Something German must be going on
1:58:30
Speaker 1: strek or putting on the German bumper music. Oh, that's right,
1:58:34
Speaker 1: putting Cincinnati on the global Matt, Welcome to the fifty
1:58:38
Speaker 1: five KRSSEE Morning Show. Welcome back, I should say, Mike
1:58:40
Speaker 1: Kaisel from one of those German guys. Just search those
1:58:43
Speaker 1: German guys on Facebook. You'll run into them and all
1:58:45
Speaker 1: the German stuff that they're all about. And Ben Hoffman,
1:58:47
Speaker 1: executive director of the Cincinnati Regional Sports Commission, joining the
1:58:50
Speaker 1: morning show today to talk about the twenty twenty five
1:58:53
Speaker 1: US National Steinholding Championship. Welcome gentlemen, it's great to have
1:58:57
Speaker 1: you on the show today. Good Thomas en Ecaba, definitely man.
1:59:09
Speaker 15: Thanks for having us on. I appreciate it. It's always
1:59:11
Speaker 15: good to get with you and talk about a little
1:59:13
Speaker 15: bit in German heritage. And like you said, this is
1:59:16
Speaker 15: more special than the Olympics.
1:59:18
Speaker 1: It is. Who needs the NC two A or the Olympics.
1:59:21
Speaker 1: It costs a whole lot of money. You're left with
1:59:22
Speaker 1: a bunch of complexes you paid for that no one
1:59:24
Speaker 1: uses anymore. And this does not require much beyond I guess,
1:59:28
Speaker 1: just some space and some beer steins and of course
1:59:31
Speaker 1: the beer that goes in it. But this is not
1:59:34
Speaker 1: for novices. This actually is a difficult, difficult, challenging thing specifically. Okay,
1:59:39
Speaker 1: let's talk about first. The US Steinholding Association. Is that's
1:59:44
Speaker 1: actually a thing and it exists. Is this a global organization?
1:59:49
Speaker 15: It's a national here in the United States.
1:59:51
Speaker 1: Okay, hence the name.
1:59:54
Speaker 5: Yep.
1:59:54
Speaker 15: So this German guy started with them.
1:59:56
Speaker 16: In twenty twenty one, we did the original State of
1:59:59
Speaker 16: Ohio champions we've run it ever since then.
2:00:03
Speaker 15: Now you know, we've kind of moved around venue to venue.
2:00:05
Speaker 15: The last two years we've been down at the beautiful
2:00:08
Speaker 15: multi million.
2:00:09
Speaker 16: Dollar Moreline Launderhouse facility with Greg Hardman, and he really
2:00:13
Speaker 16: helps us put on a show.
2:00:14
Speaker 15: It's fantastic.
2:00:15
Speaker 1: Well, and then we got go ahead, are you team
2:00:18
Speaker 1: double them again this year for the event? Correct?
2:00:21
Speaker 5: Correct?
2:00:22
Speaker 16: We did the state championship twenty twenty four, twenty twenty five,
2:00:26
Speaker 16: and then we put our hat in the ring because
2:00:29
Speaker 16: there are other states that wanted the national championship, but
2:00:32
Speaker 16: well and we were fortunate enough to land that here,
2:00:36
Speaker 16: to bring that to the Cincinnati and Ben.
2:00:38
Speaker 5: Huffman was a big.
2:00:39
Speaker 15: Part of that with the Cincinnati Regional Sports Commission.
2:00:43
Speaker 1: I appreciate Ben your work on that. And of course,
2:00:45
Speaker 1: did our German heritage have anything to do with or
2:00:48
Speaker 1: a lot to do with our getting this championship here
2:00:50
Speaker 1: this coming up?
2:00:53
Speaker 15: Yeah, that to a degree, it does.
2:00:55
Speaker 16: I mean, you know they look at everything, you know,
2:00:58
Speaker 16: Willie and I am this Terman guys, and.
2:00:59
Speaker 3: Then sleep with Greg.
2:01:01
Speaker 15: You know, we've really done a good job putting on
2:01:03
Speaker 15: the state championship.
2:01:04
Speaker 16: So coupled that with the German heritage here in Cincinnati,
2:01:08
Speaker 16: I mean, you know, it's kind of a win win,
2:01:10
Speaker 16: and how can you go into place else? All?
2:01:12
Speaker 5: Right?
2:01:12
Speaker 1: Now, how does this competition work? It's taking place again
2:01:15
Speaker 1: at the Moreline House on Saturday the twenty second are
2:01:21
Speaker 1: the Is this a team sport? Is it an individual sport?
2:01:25
Speaker 1: Are the different components of that? Are people still able
2:01:27
Speaker 1: to participate? Let's get all the details of how this
2:01:29
Speaker 1: actually works. I guess what does the event? Let's start
2:01:32
Speaker 1: with what the event entails.
2:01:34
Speaker 5: Okay, so.
2:01:37
Speaker 16: We've had state championships all across the United States. There's
2:01:41
Speaker 16: fifteen states that compete in this, and they've had people
2:01:45
Speaker 16: that you know, qualified to compete at the state level,
2:01:49
Speaker 16: and then the winners of the state competitions then proceed
2:01:53
Speaker 16: to come here for the national championship. So this is
2:01:55
Speaker 16: an individual sport. We have a women's division and a
2:01:59
Speaker 16: men's division.
2:02:00
Speaker 15: So the winner of that here on.
2:02:03
Speaker 16: The twenty second for the national championship. This is the
2:02:05
Speaker 16: inaugural national championship to us seineholding.
2:02:08
Speaker 15: This is the first one they've thought, so it's kind
2:02:10
Speaker 15: of a big deal that we got at it as well.
2:02:12
Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome.
2:02:13
Speaker 15: Whoever wins that.
2:02:14
Speaker 16: Yeah, men and women they get bragging rights as national
2:02:17
Speaker 16: championship trophies and each the men and the women first

Speaker 16: places four thousand dollars.
2:02:23
Speaker 1: Oh cool, So boiling this down. If we show up
2:02:28
Speaker 1: at this event, this is like showing up at the
2:02:30
Speaker 1: first super Bowl. It is wow. Well, my dad had
2:02:36
Speaker 1: a pennant from that one. He was at the first
2:02:37
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and that was kind of bragging, right, So
2:02:39
Speaker 1: are you guys gonna have T shirts for this event?
2:02:41
Speaker 1: So we can all prove that we were there for
2:02:42
Speaker 1: the first super Bowl of Steinholding.
2:02:46
Speaker 15: We do have T shirts available.

2:03:08

Speaker 6: No, not quite.
2:03:19
Speaker 1: I expect to see it there though. Hold on, I'll
2:03:22
Speaker 1: tell you it because it is my version of the
2:03:25
Speaker 1: final day of the week. Since I'm taking some vacation time,
2:03:27
Speaker 1: I like to talk about this fun event. I would
2:03:29
Speaker 1: have find out. Actually what the competition involves is where
2:03:32
Speaker 1: a world record for this kind of thing? Let's pause
2:03:34
Speaker 1: if you guys, don't mind them and bring it right in.
2:03:37
Speaker 1: You've read about it in Obscure Sports Quarterly, you watch
2:03:40
Speaker 1: it on the OCHO or of course talking about the
2:03:42
Speaker 1: Steinholding events and coming up with the twenty second of
2:03:47
Speaker 1: this month, the first Super Bowl of Steinholding, the twenty
2:03:51
Speaker 1: twenty five US National Steinholding Championships. Joining me to talk
2:03:56
Speaker 1: about this one of those Germans guys you can find
2:03:58
Speaker 1: them on Facebook, Mike Heisel and Ben Huffman, who's the
2:04:01
Speaker 1: executive director of the Sinceinn Regional Sports Commission. They've all
2:04:04
Speaker 1: teamed up along with some other folks like, for example,
2:04:07
Speaker 1: the more Line House and since Ant Chris Kendallmark to
2:04:10
Speaker 1: do this championship, which we're all going to want to attend.
2:04:13
Speaker 1: Before we can break down the events in the order
2:04:15
Speaker 1: of things that are taking place on the twenty second, guys,
2:04:17
Speaker 1: I got to ask, is there first a regulation? There
2:04:20
Speaker 1: has to be a regulation sort of size weight stein.
2:04:24
Speaker 1: It's uniform correct, correct?
2:04:27
Speaker 15: This your typical one leader.
2:04:29
Speaker 16: Glass templed stein, so those are all weigh the same
2:04:33
Speaker 16: approximately when it's full of beer, it's five pounds. So
2:04:36
Speaker 16: if your listeners aren't familiar with this, I know I've
2:04:39
Speaker 16: been on before talking about it, you have to. You're like,
2:04:42
Speaker 16: you have the leader stein sitting in front of you
2:04:44
Speaker 16: on a table, the competitors standing behind the table. They
2:04:46
Speaker 16: have to stand upright, pick up the beer steining with
2:04:49
Speaker 16: either their left or right hand and hold it straight out.
2:04:51
Speaker 15: They're not allowed it been back they you know, can't
2:04:54
Speaker 15: move the stein.
2:04:55
Speaker 16: It has to be you know, pretty much arm straight
2:04:57
Speaker 16: holding that leader of beer steined out. One interesting thing
2:05:01
Speaker 16: about this is Kim Planner has won the state championship
2:05:05
Speaker 16: here in Ohio the past five years that we've done it.
2:05:08
Speaker 15: He also won this year, and he is qualified.
2:05:11
Speaker 16: He's representing he's from Cincinnati here and he's representing more
2:05:14
Speaker 16: Line Loggerhouse in the national championship. So come down and
2:05:18
Speaker 16: cheer Kim on and hopefully he can bring him the
2:05:20
Speaker 16: national championship here to Cincinnati.
2:05:22
Speaker 1: Well do you And I hate to put you on
2:05:23
Speaker 1: the spot, but I got to ask because I'm looking
2:05:24
Speaker 1: at what is described, at least in terms of the
2:05:26
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence response. I got on Google the US record,
2:05:30
Speaker 1: what is his steinholding time? Do you recall buy any
2:05:34
Speaker 1: bunny chance?
2:05:36
Speaker 16: Kim usually goes between nine and twelve minutes. They've had
2:05:40
Speaker 16: some people in Texas go for as long as you know,
2:05:43
Speaker 16: twenty twenty four minutes.
2:05:45
Speaker 5: But with the.
2:05:47
Speaker 16: US stineholding with they're pretty strict on the regulations on
2:05:50
Speaker 16: your form, so they don't you know, allow you to
2:05:53
Speaker 16: deviate as some of the other organizations do. So some
2:05:56
Speaker 16: of the organizations are looking for time and they don't
2:05:58
Speaker 16: really care about form. So the US Stineholding Association's pretty strict.
2:06:03
Speaker 5: On the judging with your form.
2:06:04
Speaker 1: That's great that they have these kind of rules. It
2:06:06
Speaker 1: just cracks me up, guys, it really does. Now there
2:06:09
Speaker 1: are steinholding or actually stein carrying events, and I noted
2:06:16
Speaker 1: that at least online they say the Guinness War Record
2:06:19
Speaker 1: for the most steins carried over forty meters, and you
2:06:22
Speaker 1: mentioned they're five pounds each. Twenty nine steins is the
2:06:28
Speaker 1: record for men and nineteen steins for women, and that's
2:06:31
Speaker 1: a carrying. I just can't imagine that because I'm looking
2:06:36
Speaker 1: at photographs of these guys with all these bunched up
2:06:38
Speaker 1: steins that that can't be easy, but neither can the
2:06:40
Speaker 1: competition you guys are doing, so it's not a carry contest.
2:06:44
Speaker 1: Moving over to the twenty second I see that things
2:06:46
Speaker 1: start kicking kicked off around ten am. Walk my listeners
2:06:50
Speaker 1: through what they're going to be able to see and
2:06:51
Speaker 1: participate in during the day.
2:06:54
Speaker 16: So we are going to have the FC Byron match
2:06:56
Speaker 16: on from sc Byron's Munich soccer team. We're going to
2:06:59
Speaker 16: have that in the fest tent. Greg is putting up
2:07:02
Speaker 16: a huge festent. Like we said, this takes place during
2:07:05
Speaker 16: the opening weekend of Cincinnati Chris Kenelmark.
2:07:08
Speaker 15: So I mean that's an event in and of itself
2:07:10
Speaker 15: that you don't.
2:07:11
Speaker 16: Want to miss because they have German booze and food,
2:07:14
Speaker 16: and you know, there's a bunch of stuff going on
2:07:16
Speaker 16: with the Christmas market. You know, come down to your
2:07:18
Speaker 16: Christmas shopping and enjoy the stiny. But we have the
2:07:22
Speaker 16: Byron Match starting at nine point thirty. We also have
2:07:25
Speaker 16: a riverfront volks March. Of volks March is just a
2:07:27
Speaker 16: leisurely walk. You can sign up to do that. It's
2:07:30
Speaker 16: five dollars per person to walk. It's about like a five.
2:07:33
Speaker 10: K on that.
2:07:35
Speaker 16: Then noon to two we had the Byron Games. We
2:07:38
Speaker 16: did that when FC Byron came to town, and since
2:07:40
Speaker 16: we're running the Byron Match.
2:07:42
Speaker 15: On TV, we're going to do that afterward. If your
2:07:45
Speaker 15: listeners would like to participate in that, they can do that.
2:07:47
Speaker 1: This is great.
2:07:48
Speaker 16: Before noon, there's three events. It's a beer decal flip,
2:07:53
Speaker 16: you know, like the little beer coasters you stack those
2:07:56
Speaker 16: up and you flip those and catch them, and whoever
2:07:59
Speaker 16: catches the most without it hitting the table wins that event.
2:08:02
Speaker 15: Well, we're gonna do it as a team event. And
2:08:05
Speaker 15: then we have that hammer slogging.
2:08:07
Speaker 16: That's where there's a stump and you take a hammer
2:08:10
Speaker 16: and drive the nail into the.
2:08:13
Speaker 5: Stump.
2:08:13
Speaker 16: Fewst hits wins that. And then we also have a
2:08:16
Speaker 16: team steinholding.
2:08:17
Speaker 15: So you don't really you can get a little bit
2:08:19
Speaker 15: of a taste of it, being it's a team sport,
2:08:23
Speaker 15: you know, the one person goes as long as they
2:08:25
Speaker 15: can with the stein.
2:08:26
Speaker 16: When they're done, they set it down and their teammate
2:08:28
Speaker 16: behind them kicks it up and goes on. And then
2:08:30
Speaker 16: the winner of that will get bragging rights for the
2:08:33
Speaker 16: Fyron Championship. Then after that, two to three we have
2:08:36
Speaker 16: a ceremonial kaya of course you do, of course we do. Yeah,
2:08:41
Speaker 16: of course, right, Greg is drilling his Chris Kendle beer,
2:08:45
Speaker 16: so we're gonna tap that down at more Line.
2:08:48
Speaker 15: That's exclusive to Moreline Lockerhouse.
2:08:49
Speaker 16: It's a fantastic Christmas beer, so you're not gonna want
2:08:53
Speaker 16: to miss that. Three to four we have the Celebrity

Speaker 16: have local celebrities go head to head, just in a
2:09:05

2:09:33
Speaker 15: Now, Greg is putting up a huge fest hint.
2:09:36

2:09:39
Speaker 16: gonna be cozy inside the fest tent. I mean, this
2:09:43

2:09:45
Speaker 16: got a wooden floor and everything to it. It's gonna
2:09:48
Speaker 16: have a bar inside. We have a planter from Munich

2:09:54
Speaker 16: food boots inside the tent as well, so you're not
2:09:57
Speaker 16: gonna wanna miss it.
2:09:57
Speaker 1: It's a fantastic combat well, and I asked, just you're
2:10:00
Speaker 1: to put all the details up at fifty five cars
2:10:01
Speaker 1: dot com, the links how people can get the rundown,
2:10:05
Speaker 1: and also helping you out in that event, help my
2:10:08
Speaker 1: listeners out because it's going to be a hell of
2:10:09
Speaker 1: a good time. Ben Huffan's been kind of quiet there
2:10:11
Speaker 1: as a Cincinnati Regional Sports Commission executive director, do you
2:10:15
Speaker 1: market this kind of thing? I mean, there's always little
2:10:17
Speaker 1: things that point out that Cincinnati is a unique place,
2:10:20
Speaker 1: it's a fun place. You might want to investigate it.
2:10:22
Speaker 1: This is such a fun event, and I know it's
2:10:25
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily done in Jess, but the Super Bowl
2:10:27
Speaker 1: of Steinholding. Is this a good marketing effort for you?
2:10:31
Speaker 1: And what other kinds of things do you engage in
2:10:33
Speaker 1: throughout the year as Cincinnai Regional Sports Commission executive director
2:10:36
Speaker 1: to put Cincinnati on the mac.
2:10:38
Speaker 6: Ben, Yeah, thank you so much so. The Cincinnai Sports
2:10:41
Speaker 6: Commission started just this summer. We're brand new, we're six
2:10:44
Speaker 6: months in. First week on the job. Greg Hartman called
2:10:47
Speaker 6: me and talked about this event and our concept here
2:10:50
Speaker 6: is to kind of own something on the banks of
2:10:52
Speaker 6: the Ohio that is a tradition for the city and
2:10:55
Speaker 6: there is a sports component, so we got involved. We
2:10:57
Speaker 6: look at an event like Nathan's Hot Dog, like local
2:11:00
Speaker 6: what they've done out there, that's been a you know,
2:11:02
Speaker 6: recurring event that happens every year where people come in
2:11:04
Speaker 6: and check it out. So we're trying to help blow
2:11:05
Speaker 6: this up with those German guys, with the Moreland lagger House,
2:11:09
Speaker 6: with the Steinholding folks truly make this a unique opportunity.
2:11:13
Speaker 6: And then obviously on the back end from the sports
2:11:15
Speaker 6: commission side, we do all sorts of amateur events. So
2:11:18
Speaker 6: we have a big fencing event coming to the convention
2:11:20
Speaker 6: Center in February, a volleyball tournament come to the comvention
2:11:23
Speaker 6: Center in March, and then we're going after some large,
2:11:25
Speaker 6: high impact events like the Rugby World Cup that just
2:11:27
Speaker 6: got announced as we're an applicant city now for that,
2:11:30
Speaker 6: so we are going up to those large impact events,
2:11:32
Speaker 6: but unique opportunities like this to showcase our city is
2:11:36
Speaker 6: a place that can host large events helps us long
2:11:39
Speaker 6: term go after other things as well.
2:11:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I suppose once that convention Center work it's done,
2:11:43
Speaker 1: that's going to even create greater opportunities for folks to
2:11:45
Speaker 1: consider Cincinnati.
2:11:47
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's great, and that's actually a good tie in
2:11:50
Speaker 6: with this event. So the Elm Street Plaza opens that weekend,
2:11:53
Speaker 6: so the ice rinks moving from Fountain Square to Elm
2:11:55
Speaker 6: Street Plaza. You know, this weekend, while the Steinholding's going
2:11:59
Speaker 6: on Sunday, we have the Bengals at one, we have
2:12:01
Speaker 6: Messi coming to play FC at five on Sunday, We've
2:12:04
Speaker 6: got signholding on Saturday, We've got the Winterhouse at Fountain
2:12:07
Speaker 6: Square opening, and just the Cities Beer Live. That whole
2:12:10
Speaker 6: weekend really showcase what we can do as a community
2:12:12
Speaker 6: to host guests and I think help us both on
2:12:15
Speaker 6: the tourism side, but then on the sports mission side
2:12:17
Speaker 6: as well.
2:12:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, and can I ask you FC Cincinnati. I'm a
2:12:20
Speaker 1: no soccer football fan of I. I mean this just me,
2:12:24
Speaker 1: but when the whole concept started, I was pleased that
2:12:26
Speaker 1: didn't involve a tremendous amount of tax for your dollars.
2:12:28
Speaker 1: But I you know, it's a little skeptical that was
2:12:31
Speaker 1: going to work out. Apparently it has blown up. That
2:12:35
Speaker 1: has Has it been more successful than you anticipated it
2:12:39
Speaker 1: to be?
2:12:39
Speaker 6: Just from your perspective, Ben, Yeah, I mean I think
2:12:43
Speaker 6: there was a definite need for a soccer team in town.
2:12:47
Speaker 6: I mean, we have so many young professionals that that's
2:12:48
Speaker 6: their passion. Yeah, and the ability for that team to
2:12:52
Speaker 6: win and invest and grow and do things up a
2:12:55
Speaker 6: Tequel stadium is amazing. I mean, and then they host
2:12:57
Speaker 6: so many other events. I had the opportunity to go
2:12:59
Speaker 6: see the women's national team come in. You know, we're
2:13:02
Speaker 6: working from the sports mission side with the folks at
2:13:05
Speaker 6: TIQOL and FC on other opportunities to use that venue
2:13:08
Speaker 6: to again drive people downtown, spend money in businesses, and
2:13:12
Speaker 6: they're definitely a community partner. So it's been They've been great.
2:13:14
Speaker 1: Oh it spurred some investment in the West End too,
2:13:17
Speaker 1: so it's all, it's all been good. I am. You know,
2:13:19
Speaker 1: I'm willing to take back some of the sort of
2:13:22
Speaker 1: negative comments I made about it conceptually, because who am
2:13:24
Speaker 1: I I'm just again, I'm glad it seems to be
2:13:27
Speaker 1: working out, and I'm glad we are hosting the Super
2:13:29
Speaker 1: Bowl of steinholding Championships again. All the information fifty five
2:13:32
Speaker 1: carecy dot com. I hope you have as good a
2:13:34
Speaker 1: time doing the event, and I hope the event goes
2:13:37
Speaker 1: off as well as I anticipated. It just sounds like
2:13:39
Speaker 1: so much fun, Mike and Ben, and can't thank you
2:13:42
Speaker 1: enough for sharing all the information with my listeners and
2:13:44
Speaker 1: I today, and we'll be doing we'll be talking about
2:13:45
Speaker 1: this again next year, although given now that there's going
2:13:48
Speaker 1: to be more competition, this super Bowl will be moving
2:13:50
Speaker 1: around from two different venues as it has before, as
2:13:54
Speaker 1: these competitions for or we're keeping it.
2:13:56
Speaker 6: We've actually locked it in. We've locked it in for
2:13:58
Speaker 6: a three year guarantee, three year right a versious usual
2:14:01
Speaker 6: after oh again. Our concept here is to own this
2:14:04
Speaker 6: in Cincinnati for as long as it makes sense for us.
