• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Maybe the topic is burning in the back of your head,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: you want to bring it out, Let's talk about it.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty two to three
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Talk Time five fifty on AT and T phones. Tracker
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: is going to be taking a couple of days off
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: early next week. Good for you, Joe, using up the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: vacation days. Mine begins Wednesday week and I'll be out
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the rest of the week because why not. I love
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and of course got vacation days. And if you
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: don't smoke them, you don't smoke them. If you got
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: them with iheard media, use them up or lose them. Joe,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: would you prefer a policy that allows you to take
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: a cash payment in lieu of vacation days that are
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: not used, or a rollover. Either way, you can probably
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: take like three months and next year off if they
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: allow you to roll them over. Joe just saying, don't
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: bite the hand that feeds you. Oh, why not Tech
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Friday a Dayve Hatter Every Friday at six point thirty
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: we get the pleasure of Dave Hatter's company and warnings
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: and things we need to pay attention to. Of course,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: interest i T is the best in the business. Interest
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Ie sponsors. It sponsors the Tech Friday segment today. What
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: caused the cloud flare outage this past Monday. We're kind
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: of scratching our head wondering if the empower you America
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: site got hit by that because it was not working
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: during that cloud fair outage. We just speculated on that.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: We'll find out the extent of what happened. Social media
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: fueling the fake weight loss, drug boom and deep fake
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: videos are getting increasingly more realistic. We now have the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: new Sora to AI app, which apparently is going to
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: prevent you from determining what is real and what is fake.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: There's nothing good that can come from that. Heart for seniors.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I love heart for seniors. What they're doing for the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: seniors out in the community. Patty Scott behind Heart for Seniors,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and she'll be back in studio at seven thirty talk
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: about what's going on with Hard for Seniors and all
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the wonderful benefits they are providing our senior community, for
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: folks at home that are undersisted living for folks and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: folks in assisted living facilities, all kinds of problems, and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Heart for Seniors is working to iron out those problems
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: and make everyone who's in that situation's life easier, from
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the caregiver to the of course person being cared for.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Just love that organization, so happy to give them a
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: segment here on the fifty five Cares Morning Show. That'll
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: happen at seven thirty. The return of Congressman David Taylor
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: got him talking about well Epstein, of course the dominant
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: topic right now. Interesting if you go out in the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: world and read some of the commentaries on whether or
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: not it's going to be a good thing for us
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to get the Epstein documents, there's some interesting points counter
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to us actually getting them. Although I'm on the side
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: of transparency, regardless of what happens. Commercial Motor Vehicle English
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Proficiency Act. Should commercial motor vehicle drivers be required to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: understand and be at least proficient in English. Sadly, many
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of our even our American and K through twelve educated students,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: don't even have English proficiency themselves. You have to ask
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: him about that. I believe that they should be able
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to speak English. You know, the road signs here in
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the United States of America are not in multiple languages,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: so you can have you know, like a Zimbabwean, a
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: semi tractor trailer driver who gets his commercial vehicle license
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: in California, for example, where they give them out like
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: pez and not be able to read the road signs. Hmm,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: is it legal to do a U turn on an expressway?
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I wonder. Oh, I don't know. There's no sign at
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: least one that I can read.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty damn good idea. David Taylor
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: on that subject. And plus, now that the government's back
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: open the Epstein file issues behind this sort of kind
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: of what is going to happen? I ask Warren Davidson
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: about that. Just the other day. I was hoping that
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: they would do something along the lines of some policies,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: changes or whatever they can come up with to deal
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: with medical and the insurance problem. We're facing here in
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the United States with medical insurance Obamacare a colossal failure.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Look at what the premiums are, look at what you're
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: out of pocket, liability is, and responsibility is before insurance
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: even kicks in. Can you even call it insurance. I'm
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: on the side of no, something's got to give. Will
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: there be anything that they come up with which will
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: provide the American people relief? And then we get meals
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: on Wheels As we quickly approach Thanksgiving holiday season, we're
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: gonna be talking about the Bust a Crust campaign. Mike
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Cogan and Natalie Cochin going to be in studio for
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Meals on Wheels to talk about that in the ways
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you and I can help out a lot of people
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: in need. I understand that, especially when we come up
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving, and you know, I waxed poetic just yesterday
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: about Thanksgiving what it means to me. And you know,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: as much as I loved the food and I always
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: still love the food, Mom's dressing and gravy and the
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: turkey and just all that, for me as a child,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: it was always just this big, awesome family gathering where
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: everyone was having fun. You got to see relatives that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you only saw once a year, and you know, I
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: just have so many great memories from Thanksgiving, and you know, yeah,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the food was a draw, but it was just the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: family getting together. So I'm trying to put a positive spinner.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of negative news out in the world.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Inflations obviously a real problem for everybody, affordabilities and the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: hearts and minds of everybody, and it seems to be
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: just getting worse and worse. But you know what doesn't
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: cost anything, spending time with family, trying to make the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: most of it, trying to appreciate it while you've got them.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: And don't be that guy I mentioned yesterday, that person
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: who wants to stir the potted division or bring up
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: some hot button topic in the middle of a joyous celebration.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: let's not how about that. How about we just choose
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: up front to make a family rule today in the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: name of peace and harmony and putting a smile on
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: everyone's face. There will be no politically charged conversations over
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving table. How's that everybody got a rand raise
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: on that one? Can we all agree? Yes? Wouldn't that
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: be great my perspective anyway, and that's the way I
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: intend to present myself. You know, I deal with politics
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: every single day. Quite often people want to talk about
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: politics with me in social environments. I don't mind it
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: for the most part, but if it's going to ruin
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: my Thanksgiving holiday, I will mind it. So there you've
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: been warned anyhow. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk fifty
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: on AT and T phones. There's your lineup for today.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if you got the memo, uh,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the collaboration, the kind of the Sheriff's office. So we
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: had got Charmie mcguffy pulled out and got out of
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: her cave. Where has Charmie McGuffey been well. She showed
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: up yesterday for the first time in quite a while.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Also since at Police Interim Chief Adam Henny and the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: State Patrol Colonel Charles Jones together in a joint conference
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: about reducing crime in the City of Cincinnati, the first
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: time Charmie McGuffey has spoken directly about the Sheriff's Office's
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: contributions to safety. The safety initiative that was rolled out
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: in the aftermath of the violence that we all saw
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: over the summer, violence that forced the mayor to actually
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: acknowledge that we have a crime problem in the city,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: in spite of the fact he'd been spending months saying
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: there's nothing to see there. You're imagining crime as a problem. Well,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: we are all smarter than that. It took a couple
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: of really horrific incidents, Sarah Herringer one of them, and
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: of course Holly in the end of the beatdown, all
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: on videotape to bring it to the public attention. Sadly,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: quite often takes something as tragic as that to do so.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: So they all got together and rolled out some new policies,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and yesterday they were sort of doing a I don't
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: want to call it a post mortem. I'm going to
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: put a Paul over the whole thing. So what they
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: say they have been collaborating as they have in the past.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: They said, the most recent effort to target specifically areas
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: in downtown Cincinnati A courted to Police Chief Adam Hanny.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Please please know that we have been doing this probably
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: as long as I've been in law enforcement here in Cincinnati,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: he said, speaking of working in collaboration. This is something
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I've talked about with Sheriff Neil many times on the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Sheriff Show. We used to do in the morning show.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: He's all about collaboration, so this isn't a new concept.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: So apparently, in the past fifteen days, operating as a
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: targeted collaboration, these three entities city, Police, State and the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Sheriff's Office, McGuffey said, the collaborative agencies gave almost are
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: you ready, here's your stats? Two hundred warnings to people.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: What's your reaction to that? Joe warnings? Anyway, they did
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Smike Hans Blicks strong letter to follow, right, Joe boy,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: you're really going that's blast from the past kind of
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: stuff there, Hot Ricks. I'm sorry you threw me off.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: McGuffey said. Law enforcement agencies made seven misdemeanor arrests, eight
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: felony arrests, recovered three stolen vehicles, and recovered six guns.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Apparently in the past fifteen days in this collaborative agreement,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many came from her car at least.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, when you leave your car unlocked
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: and you have firearms in there, that is a target.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I remember the old keep your junk in your trunk campaign.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: That was you got to go back to Chief Tom
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Striker on that listen. And I know my friends over
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: on the West Side. There's an article about West Pricele
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: neighbors fed up with repeated car break ins. And I
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: noted one of the guys had medication and air pods
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: stolen from his vehicle overnight, and I feel sorry for
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: that person. Got to deal with the aftermath. Get you know,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: the glass people to come in and fix the glass
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: on your car. You got to refill your prescription and
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: buy a new AirPods. Don't leave anything in your car,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: anything of value. Just don't do that. Now, someone may
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: nonetheless break the window of your car and rummage through it,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: but end up with nothing and move on to the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: next vehicle. It's so easy to break a window in
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: a car. It takes a fraction of a second. It's
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: done almost silently. So while you may not be able
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: to avoid the repairing the window situation, because someone wants
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: to see if there's anything in your car. If there's
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: nothing in your car, then you're not going to get
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: it stolen. I do sound preachy or anything like that,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: but it's the simplest solution to minimizing your potential property loss.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: So just you know, that's one way of minimizing the damage.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: And I'm not quite sure if this is a group
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: of people that are organized. They've been repeatedly breaking into
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: cars in these various neighborhoods over on the West Side.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: But it's a problem and one that could be minimized
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: to a certain degree. So anyway, back to the law enforcement,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: McGuffey also revealed something that I thought was rather interesting
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and a bit frightening. Going back to I mentioned a
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: moment ago Sarah Herringer, the guy who was on the
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: ankle bracelet that nonetheless for months he was out and
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: about ended up stabbing her husband to death in their
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: apartment and over the rhine. Now that guy was on
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: probation and an ankle monitor. But McGuffey said, there are
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: thousands of outstanding warrants in the city in county, thousands. Now,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: she did point out that many of them are traffic related,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: and she said some of them or many of them
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: are minor misdemeanor or mistermeanor warrants. And what we have
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: collectively sat down and talked about with judges. She meant
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: it mentioned that the three agencies worse speaking with judges,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and that was the initial paragraph in the reporting. Thank
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: you to Felicia Jordan and Valerie lines Over at WCPO
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: for the reporting. But I was thinking maybe they sat
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: down with the judges and encouraged them to issue higher
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: bonds and it's tougher sentencing. No, they apparently sat down
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: with the judges to talk about an amnesty program for
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: these minor misdemeanors. She said, you know type of amnesty day,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: a program a week where people who have minor misdemeanor
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: warrants that are almost or that are more than ten
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: years old. She said, as many of these are age
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: and let's get those things cleared up for people without
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: the consequences of incarceration, without the consequences of fine and
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: people having to lose money in this arena. Okay, Now,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the point being, if we have an amnesty day, everybody
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: who's got an outstanding warning field flee to come. Come
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: on in. We're going to eradicate it. You're not going
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: to have a record, we're not going to charge you
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: any fine. We're just going to clean up all these
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: minor issues. And I just have to go back I
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: guess her concern is that people with outstanding warrants, even
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: minor ones, will run away from police and cause bigger
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: problems as a consequence of running away, because of course
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the police are going to run after them, so a
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: greater police interaction. But the initial charge, the initial warrant
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: was issued because of a violation of the law. And
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: if we're going to get rid of fines after a
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: certain amnesty period, doesn't that potentially encourage people to just
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: walk away from those Yeah, run the risk of the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: outstanding warrant. But if you wait around long enough, amnesty
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: is going to show up. I don't know. I don't
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: know if this is an appropriate strategy. Maybe you have
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: a comment on that. And some of these efforts, they
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: say because they're doing targeted enforcement in certain neighborhoods, and
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: that has been announced over and over again. Yeah, we're
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: going to be in Government Square, we're going to be
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: targeting the West End, We're going to be targeting areas
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: and over the Rhine. We're going to put more police
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: presence in this neighborhood or that neighborhood. And some are
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: finding a problem with that. Efforts to face criticism residents
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: and community leaders, saying that there was too much focus
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: on downtown and over the Rhine, there happened to be
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: fifty two neighborhoods in the city of Cincinnati. Hey, where's
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the love for our neighborhood while you're protecting the urban
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: hits pictures in the gentrified over the Rhine. They also
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: accused officials of cherry picking data to highlight success since
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: anti announcement. They claim overall crime dropped thirty one percent
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: in July from June in the peak of June, and
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: it's been steadily declining every month since. Where's that data
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: come from? And from what neighborhoods? Ask some five nineteen
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: right now if you have k see the talks dation,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: We've got a lot more to talk about. Bottom of
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: our news. Maybe Tom will call, Maybe you'll call. I'd
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: love to hear from you. I'll be right back fifty
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: five KRC dot com. Do you improve this message? Take
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: you down and thank you lending me for that phenomenal
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: base riff and for some words they'll get you out
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: of bed. Maybe, Hey, let me doesn't even think of
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: a sports betting absolute that one, Joe, do you think
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Lemmy's life would have been a different trajectory. Rather than
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: sit in a bar and play video poker hours and
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: hours and hours back to back to back, he'd be
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: sitting at home, staring at his Nazi daggers and playing
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: our betting sports betting. No, no, he'd still be at
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the Rainbow grill, staring at the video machine. Apparently all
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: right for those who have no idea about Lemmy or
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: who he is or was, I'm sorry for the rambling.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: There.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: There's a trend they call it jugging. And just on
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: the heels of that meeting in downtown about the crime
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and the break ins that are going over in West
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Price Hill and everyplace else, something else you need to
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: worry about. Article from Fox News, call it's called jugging.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: This is the reason you would be paying close attention
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: to your surroundings if you are buying stuff, if you
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: are pulling money out of an ATM, if you're a
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: technician working on an ATM. Apparently those guys have a
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: lot of concern about him too, because what happens is
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: these criminals will follow you. You're being the mall, you're
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: buying some cool stuff. They want that stuff, They follow
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: you and they steal it from you. Sometimes quite violently.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Jugging is what it's called. But the point being from
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the officers that were quoted in this article, the FBI
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: notably telling you, the shopper or ATM user, look around
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: for anybody who may appear to be suspicious before approaching
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the ATM or getting out of your vehicle in a
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: parking lot, do a quick survey of the area. I
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: do this every morning, pulling into the Towers of Kenwood
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: parking lot. Look three o'clock in the morning. It's dark,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: There's like two cars in the entire parking lot. Just
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: do a look around. Every once in a while, there'll
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: be someone inside a car in the parking lot, which
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: is unusual here because hardly anybody's in the building at
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: that hour. Be prepared. I learned my boy scout lesson.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: But so they also urge people to vary their banking habits.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: So I think business this might apply to if you
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: have a regular schedule where you're making deposits or withdraws,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: vary that, stay away from traceable routines, and conceal the
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: cash when leaving the ATM or a store. That sound
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: information right there, It seems pretty obvious, But let me
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: just double down by reading it out loud. The officers
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: urge urge buyers to keep their personal safety at the
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: forefront of the mind as you buy gifts or use ATMs.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: It says around the holiday season, of course, a noticeable
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: spike in this kind of activity. But at all times
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: and in all places. You hate to have to live
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: life looking over your shoulder. But a little bit of
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: looking over your shoulder may avoid a much, much bigger problem.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Just saying five twenty six right now, local stories or
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: phone calls either way you want to go, say okay
• 17:45

  Speaker 4: Oh okay cool?
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: So I gotta five I share that a five day weekend.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I got a couple more vacation days use up in
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: December before the traditional Christmas holiday as well.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: So yeah, you had you had a you had a
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: four day weekend recently. Now you're gonna get a five
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: day weekend. I mean somebody might start calling you a slacker.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: I don't know, not me. I wouldn't call you that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: You've a right appreciate that, you know I do. My
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: contract does allow vacation days and I haven't used all
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: my vacation time up so far. So the way I
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: look at it is I'm maybe a harder worker than
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: than some I don't know, man.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: Some people some people. Last Why do you why do
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: you take days off of because they give it to me,
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: They're gonna give me a.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: So yeah, everybody needs some time off. You got, you
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: gotta rest your brand.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: You got there, your your your subject. You're talking about
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: this morning? Uh you know the list you just read
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: before the last break there of what we should do
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: when we go to the ATM or the store or whatever.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: The reason why that kind of list has to be
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: made public is because of the stuff you talked about
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: before that. The reason why we have to be so
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: bid nothing only there's gonna be crime. There's gonna be criminals.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: But the reason it is the way it is is
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: because we're letting these people off easy. In fact, if
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: you give them amnesty, you're basically rewarding them for evading
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: arrest for as long as they did. Hey, good job,
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: you went ten years without being arrested for this, here's
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: your reward. We're gonna let you go. Oh, we just
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: want to make you come in. Yeah, right, I mean,
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: what kind of garbage is that. I've told the story
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: about about the child and the parent in the store
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: and the child is throwing a fit as a child
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: want a candy, gum whatever, and in the end the
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: parent gave in. Well, what did the child learn? If
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: I keep throwing a fin, I'll get what I want.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: If I keep evading the police, I'll get what I want.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: If I make a big stink, And if I make
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: this too much trouble for you to handle, You're going
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: to give in. And that's that's the message we're sending,
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: and that that is the wrong message. No, in fact,
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: what it should be is the more where you fight,
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: the worst the punishment is going to be. I'm sure
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: your mom and dad talks to you that, didn't they.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Brian Dude reminded me of a viral video I watched
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: the other day. It was a woman who was in
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: court in front of a judge and she just was being,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, absolutely outright belligerent, dropping the F bomb, cursing
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: at the judge, and the judge like thirty days contempt.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: And she kept it up that sixty days, kept it
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: up ninety days.
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: Yo.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: He went up to like six months worth of prison
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: before they finally hauled her out. That's what should happen.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: You know, keep it up, you're gonna get punished more.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Does anybody punish their children anymore? Does anyone say no
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: to their children anymore?
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: I'm just gonna wonder if some dude, some do but
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: not enough. And to be fair, we all would like leniency.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: I don't disagree with that. Look, you come before a judge,
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: and the judge looks at all the information, looks at
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: your situation. So you cannot reward people for doing even
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: more wrong than they've already done. You can't give them
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: a reward for that. And it's the same way with politics.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: You got these elected officials in office, whatever office that
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: may be, and they're doing stupid stuff, and you keep
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: re electing them, like all these Democrats on city council,
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: they keep getting elected. Well, why would they change their behavior?
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: What wouldn't make them think that, you know what, we
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: need to start doing this differently. Now they're getting elected
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: by overwhelming margins, so they're just gonna keep doing the
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: same thing. So if you want things to change, you
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: want the behavior of these criminals to change, you have
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: to change the way you deal with them, you have
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: to hold them accountable. Same thing for elected officials, you
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: have to hold them accountable. Don't vote Rhino, don't vote Democrat.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: Have a great weekend and have a great vacation.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Joe, thanks Man, appreciate it. Joe giving on to you
• 22:46

  Speaker 1: Smile Joe, Wow, oh it is Friday, so obviously We're
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: going to start in Florida with a buck naked man.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Is it butt naked or buck now naked? Joe, You're
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: gonna go with Buck. I've always thought it was buck,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: but I've heard people used the term butt naked. Whatever.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: We got one of those guys in Florida, which is
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: a typical Friday story, so over the stack and stupid.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: A guy was claiming to be part of a TikTok challenge,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: got arrested and of course caught on camera, because everybody
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: is these days walking around. In the replice report, it
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: just says it says buck with a K buck naked,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: not button naked anyway. This is on Polk County on
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: the street man. He was driving to work unbroken Errow trail.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: He spotted a man walking down the road naked, in
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: spite of the fact it was only thirty six degrees
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: outside taking He was captured on of course, the driver's
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: tesla camera. They got like nine hundred cameras on a tesla.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Sheriff Grady Judd there and Pole County said, you know
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: what buck naked means. He's not even wearing any socks.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: You can be naked and wearing socks but buck naked
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: means you don't have anything on. Well, there must be
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the definition as perceived by Polpe County Sheriff Grady Judge.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: The driver called the Sheriff's office. Sheriff Judd said, we
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: asked him, are you cold not bitch? What are you doing? Well,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: it's a TikTok challenge you have. You don't even have
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: your cell phone. He said, you're really naked when you
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: don't have your cell phone. So under his definition, if
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: you're carrying a cell phone, you are no longer buck naked.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: You are partially clothed. What sheriff said that when deputies
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: asked him for his name, the man gave a false
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: name in wrong address. Sheriff said, so we addressed him
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: for obvious violations of the wall. He went to the jail,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: and after all, he went there without any clothes on.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: That's how he arrived at bookend. We said, here he
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: comes buck naked. Well, since he gave a false name,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: do you think they just marked him down as a
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: man named buck naked? Apparently his real name. Anthony Day
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: charged with this eardly conduct, resisting officer with evidence and
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: exposure of sexual organs. Not clear why he was walking
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: naked down the street because investigator said he did not
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: have a camera to video the TikTok challenge that he
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: was claiming he was involved.
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: With idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.

• 32:00
  Speaker 1: occur between April and October this year, Solana Police said
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: a news release. The Texas Penal Code divides sexual performance
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: as a crime that lures a child younger than eighteen
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: years of age to perform an act that is visually
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: that visually depicts the leut exhibition of the private area,

  Speaker 1: three of you. Yes, you're right.
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: Jobs the pinnacle of Douche, good going, Douce.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Your dreams have come true. They're all on the top
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: of the podium sharing the gold together. On that one, Joe,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: We'll let my listening audience exercise a subjective assessment to
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: see who is most worthy of the top tier status
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: fivefty five fifty five krcit talks days. I hope you
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: can stick around tech Freddy with Dave hat or what
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: caused that cloud fare cloud flare outage? How social media
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: is fueling the fake weight loss drug boom. A couple
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: of topics with Dave Hatter at the bottom of the
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: next hour. I'd love to hear from you. Feel free
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: to call otherwise we'll dive into some other stories. There
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: are a multitude of them. Be right back.
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: Today's top headlines scars the talk station.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Six or six fifty five kr CD talk Station Tomas
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: fishing everyone a very very happy Friday. IPE got some
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: good plans for the weekend, thankfully. It looks like we
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: got some sun both Saturday and Sunday. Anybody else need
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: to cut their grass? Coming up bottom of this hour,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: as is the case every Friday, Tech Friday with Dave Hatta.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: This morning, we'll be talking about the cloud flare outage
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: happened on Monday. I'm not sure if you were impacting
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: it out. We're going to hear what the cause of
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: it was, the extent of the damage, if any, and
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: maybe they got the root causes of its. Social media
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: apparently fueling what he has described as a fake weight
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: loss drug boom. And finally, topic number three, deep fake
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: videos getting increasingly more realistic. There's a new one out
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Sora to ai app, So go ahead and make a
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: fake video. No one'll be able to tell the truth
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: from the fiction anymore, you know, go to that. I
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: worry about the future of society most notably, and I
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: mentioned this before, guilt beyond reasonable doubt in a criminal trial.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: We talked the other day with FOPP president Ken Kober
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: about the video cameras that they're using. They're upgrading their
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: video cameras and getting some more technology, all of which
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: he said is outstanding technology. It's a good thing for
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: everybody in the city of Cincinnati to benefit from it.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: But if you're presenting an officer recorded camera video to
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: a jury and someone defense counsel can suggest perhaps it's
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: been altered by artificial intelligence and it may not be real,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: just putting a little bit of suspicion in it, because
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: we've all seen deep fake videos and boy, aren't they
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: getting to be well imperceptibly. I mean, the blur between
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: real and fake has just disappeared, reasonable doubt hard for seniors.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Patti Scott returns. I love that organization helping out seniors,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: whether they're in an assisted living facility or you are
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: caring for them at home, which is indeed the direction
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: most people have to go because assisted living facilities are
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: so expensive. But regardless where that senior is. We got
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: the issue with the very frail skin and the tearing
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: and the bleeding. They got the bandage things for that.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: They got the wonderful monitors for incontinent, so your senior
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: is not sitting and wallowing in their own and you know,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: you know, and a whole bunch of technology, and all
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: of it is extraordinarily affordable. They facilitate your you know,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: getting these technology into your hands so you can improve
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: your life in the life of that person you're caring for.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Awesome what they do every day of the week. So
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Patty Scott returns at seven thirty, followed by Congressman David Taller.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: We'll talk a little bit about Epstein, what that means
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: going forward. Looks like JP Morgan was hiding some of
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: his transactions. Someone suggested one point two billion dollars in
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: suspicious Epstein transactions. Huh. Yesterday, Senator Ron Wyden called for
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: an investigation on whether JP Morgan deliberately concealed these suspicious
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: transactions by Epstein. Huh between twenty two and twenty sixteen.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: What they describe as a flurry of almost one point
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: three billion insuspicious transactions. So there's one more entity or
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: maybe in digitals, getting caught up in the potential Epscene scandals.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Get ready for it. It's going to be a never ending
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: flurry of he said, she said, He's guilty, She's guilty. Look,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. That's after the documents have
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: come out, So you haven't even seen a full taste
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: of what we're going to be dealing with. Congressman David
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Taylor on that plus, Yes, the Commercial Motor Vehicle English
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Proficiency Act. Why would anyone have a problem with requiring
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: someone to speak English if they're driving a well, extraordinarily
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: deadly weapon in the form of a semi. I hope
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: you're already familiar with some of the problems we've encountered
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: with illegal immigrants driving around with an inability to speak English,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: driving in these giant semis and causing massive problems. Finally,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: what's next now that the government's back open? Congressman David
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Taylor eighth five, followed by meals On Wheels. We're going
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: to help out this holiday season Mike Cogan and Natalie
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Cooking of meals On, Will's going to be in studio
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: talking about and we'll find out together what it is
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: the Bust a Crust campaign. Love to hear from you
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: five one, three, seven, four nine, five, five hundred, eight
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two to three talk pound five fifty
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: on at and T fund. You know, and since it
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: is Tech Friday, and since the stack is stupid involved
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: yet even more. It's a weekly, if not daily, occurrence
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: of people in authority positions, most notably teachers, and alarmingly
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: for me, the number of the increased number of young
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: female teachers molesting eleven year olds and twelve year olds.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: These are your children, They're in your schools. In your churches,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: in your organizations. What the hell is wrong with people?
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Of course, social media largely behind a lot of this.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, a day doesn't go by the teachers nude pictures,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: they exchanged, nude pictures, they engage in sexual activity recorded
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: on What the hell? There are eight point two billion
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: people in the world, And I'm thinking of Dave Chappelle's
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Ain't No Flag for Us comment about his sexual proclivities
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: and feeling marginalized because he has a weird sexual proclivity
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: that no one embraces or celebrates or supports in the
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: point of a in the name of a flag. There
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: are some weird, weird people. And your child is connected
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: effectively to all eight point two billion people in the world.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: And I know that not everybody's connected to the Internet,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: but hey, do a fraction of it. Yesterday, FBI director
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Cash Bettel giving you get another warning. Parents, get your
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: kids social media connections and find out who they are
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: communicating with, what are they doing, what are they saying,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: who's talking to them. They're busy taking The FBI is
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: busy taking down what they call the seven to six
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: four network, described as an organization that grooms and courses
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: miners on gaming and social media platforms. The question is
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: your child using a gaming or social media platform? I
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: think the answer is probably yes. They have hundreds of
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: active investigations into these criminal acts. Group described as Heinous Betel,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: urging parents to monitor their chill drun's Internet activity more
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: closely to limit the opportunities these perverts have to get
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: in touch with your kids and hurt them. And I
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: use the word hurt advisedly because some of these crazy, sick, twisted,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: perverted individuals get off on your children hurting themselves. Network
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: investigators say began in twenty twenty one with a Texas
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: teenager linked to a broader extremist online ecosystem that pushes
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: children towards self harm, animal abuse, sexual exploitation, and even suicide.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: They say they're working day and night to destroy the network.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Prosecutors in Arizona allege one at pervert targeted at least
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: nine victims between the ages of eleven and fifteen, child
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: sexual abuse, material production distribution, cyber stalking, animal crushing content,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: as well as conspiring to provide material support to terrorists.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Turning General Pamela Bondi said that the man's alleged crimes
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: are unthinkably depraved and reflect the horrific danger of seven
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: sixty four. If convicted, it'll face severe consequences of work
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: to dismantle the evil network. Again, she also urging parents
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: to remain vigilant about the threats of their children face online. No,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: not my child. My child's equipped to deal with this
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Really. Federal officials warned that this seven
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: sixty four, And you know, I got to point out
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: that maybe stating the obvious seven sixty four, I don't
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: know how affiliated or loosely affiliated this organization is, if
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: it even is an organization that has like communication among
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: the members of seven sixty four. But even if it isn't,
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: it's just one organization of like the I go back
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: to the eight point two billion people on the planet.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: If there's a pervert out there, that pervert is going
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: to utilize all the materials in technology available to him
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: or her, as we find out more and more often,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: to find your children and use them for their individual
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: sick purposes. Recent advisories FBI describe predators who build trust
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: or romantic grooming relationships before escalating too extortion like threats
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: to share images, threats to swat a victim's home, publicly
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: docks them. And you can't understate the element of doxing.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Remember when you were going through let's say the puberty years,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: and how tough it was. You got social interactions, clicks
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: that get formed in schools. I feel left out. I'm
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: not part of the in crowd. It's tough enough to
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: be a kid playing alone. But when you got social
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: media out there, the idea of doxing and to expose
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: or to say, I'm going to go online, I'm going
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: to say all this stuff about you. I'm going to
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: make photos with AI showing naked or and compromise physicians
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: if you don't do what I want. The psychological weight
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: of the threat of you're already stressed out child of
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: that age. I cannot imagine bad enough growing up without
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: digital technology. He said. Some of the violent actions or
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: actors in these online networks are motivated by a desire
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: to cause fear in chaos through their criminal conduct. However,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: the FBI said motivations are here's my point on eight
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: point two billion people, highly individualized, saying some threat actors
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: may be engaging in criminal activity solely for sexual gratification,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: social status, or a sense of belonging, or for a
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: mix of other reasons that may not be ideologically motivated
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: or even sane. From an individual who's, Sayn's perspective, what
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: would drive an adult human being to want to see
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: a child harm him hers herself? These are sick, twisted
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: people who are in your kid's phone. They say, this
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: seven sixty four group thrived by infiltrating online spaces where
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: are children already gathering, especially the platforms that appeal to
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: the youth. They also specifically identified, based on recent investigations
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: in lawsuits, Roadblocks and Discord described as among the platforms
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: where many victims have first encountered the seven sixty four
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: linked predators. Your kids on Roadblocks or Discord? Are you
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: using them? Welcome to the vehicle that puts them in
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: touch with your children? What's your child doing right now now?

• 45:12
  Speaker 1: about those things along really good terms six twenty one
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: right now, five and three seven fifty two to three talk
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: among the multitude of well articles I gotten topics of conversation,
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: a little anecdotal relationship with this one. I wanted to
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: mention this because when we were preparing for our weekend
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: to go visit the Bourbon Distillery, and we had this
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: home that we it was a charity auction, thanks all
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: the six of us to two other couples and my
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: wife and I we allocated responsibility for meals, and Paul
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Att and I had responsibility for lunch. So we bought ham, turkey, rust, beef,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: and salami. And that's where I kind of fell off
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: my dietary restrictions. I've really been trying to focus on
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: eating natural, healthy foods. Ultra process foods apparently a massive,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: massive problem. Fox News reporting on this. Apparently there's a
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: series of papers that were released this week by The
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Lancet and they reviewed multiple studies forty three public health
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: and nutrition experts led by some huhas at big universities,
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: using what they call the Nova system, which identifies what
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: qualifies as ultra processed food foods made largely from ingredients
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: rarely used in home cooking, such as refined starches, protein isolates,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: modified oils, additives, flavors, colors and multifiers, artificial sweeteners, et cetera,
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: et cetera. Examples soft drinks, energy drinks, cookies, chips, flavored yogurts,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: instant noodles, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, packaged desserts, diet shakes, bars.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: The list goes on and on. Problem sugar fat content.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Also that they are engineered to well get you to
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: become addicted to the much in the same way drugs
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: find drugs will make you addicted. The taste in the
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: flavor has been engineered to make you like desire, are
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: even more triggering compulsive eating, they say, exactly like tobacco use.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: So you know regulation is coming based upon the research
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: on this, whether you want regulation or not. At least,
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: I like JFK Junior for bringing this kind of thing
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: to America's attention and this kind of story being reported
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: because of the new focus on our diets thanks to
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: RFK Junior's work. In large part, the review linked ultra
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: processed food diets to a greater risk of are you
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: ready obesity, diabetes, heart, kidney, and gut disease, depression, early death, dementia,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: also a multitude of additional calories people are eating because
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: of ultra processed diets, which tend to pack in the
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: calories upfs, they say now make up more than half
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: of the calories consumed in the United States also United Kingdom,
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: in the same realm, more than half. Doctor Memnent Oz,
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: he's the administrator at the Center for Medicare or Medicaid Services,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: said it's sixty percent of our diet is ultra processed foods.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: And going back to my point, salami and other deli
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: needs men that Oz said are some of the worst offenders.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: And I did look at the labels, and if you
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: look at the labels for the ham, the roast beef,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: and the turkey, fairly innocuous. Yes, there's a couple of
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: one additional ingredient there that I would say makes it
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: not fully natural, but beyond that pretty much vanilla kind
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: of stuff. Go ahead and read the salami label and
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: the ingredients in the salami, which I literally did yesterday
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: after reading this article. Yeah, you might not want to
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: eat it. So one of the papers they released recommended
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: here we go a government playbook to cut back on
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: our eating upf's warning labels.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: Here you go.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: You ready, taxes, limits on marketing to kids, and healthier
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: school meals, better access to affordable healthy food. Latter seems
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: to be the most complicated issue. But see you pivot
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: over to start calling them just like tobacco. They're addictive,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: they're dangerous, they cause all these health problems. You know
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: what's next. I would argue, we all have it within
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: our control to read labels and try to find something
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: that's better for us, and maybe we should start doing that.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: We can avoid the well food Nazis coming our way
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: with all kinds of rules, regulations, bands, et cetera. Six

  Speaker 1: them a call and help you unring the bell of
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: it hitting the fan. Dave Hatter, welcome back, my friend.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: Thanks to interests It your company for sponsoring the segment.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: Business Courrier says, you guys are the best in the business.
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: Always my pleasure, Brian.
• 49:59
  Speaker 9: You know our our tagline is would like to help
• 50:01
  Speaker 9: people ensure their environment is productive, resilient and secure.
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: You get all three at once, amen.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: I just read an article about this pervert crime network
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: seven six four network the FBI is busily dealing with.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: There's all kinds of crazy people out there trying to
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: harm children and for whatever reason, they find some like
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: perverted glee and seeing young people, you know, mutilate themselves
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: or crush animals, I mean, just twisted stuff that's sick.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: And roadblocks was one of the ones that I mentioned.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: Is apparently a real problem. I don't know what it is.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: But after I mentioned roadblocks and the other one, I
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: had a buddy who's in the know on this kind
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: of stuff, and he had specifically said mention roadblocks, and
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: I hadn't mentioned it. He followed up, I don't know
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: anything about rodblocks, but apparently that is a terrible terrible
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: place for young people to be. And I know this
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: isn't on your list. We're gonna talk about cloud flare outage,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: but I just I had had to bring it up date.
• 50:54
  Speaker 9: Well, you know, it's funny you mentioned that, Brian, so
• 50:57
  Speaker 9: Roadblocks is a video game. It's very propuler and you
• 51:01
  Speaker 9: would have no reason to notice since you live in Ohio.
• 51:04
  Speaker 9: But the Kentucky Attorney General has filed a lawsuit against
• 51:07
  Speaker 9: Roadblocks for some of the issues you've mentioned. Here's a
• 51:10
  Speaker 9: headline for you. Kentucky ag calls Roadblocks a quote playground
• 51:14
  Speaker 9: for predators unquote and lawsuit against the gaming platform. Now
• 51:19
  Speaker 9: this this article is from October sixth of this year,
• 51:22
  Speaker 9: and you know, just so yeah, I know where this
• 51:24
  Speaker 9: wasn't originally on our list, but I think it's worth
• 51:26
  Speaker 9: talking about, especially for parents, our grandparents out there who
• 51:29
  Speaker 9: have kids.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: That's who I was trying to talk to in the
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: last segment, man, because you know, we are the ones
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: that have control. We can stand up and say no,
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: we can look and find out what our children are
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: looking at.
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: So here's what the article says.
• 51:43
  Speaker 9: Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman has seen the gaming and
• 51:45
  Speaker 9: social media platform and a lawsuit filed Monday. Again, this
• 51:49
  Speaker 9: article is from early in October. Coleman accuses Roadblocks of
• 51:52
  Speaker 9: knowingly creating a playground for predators to distribute child sex
• 51:55
  Speaker 9: abuse material and grooveen child victims. It says nearly two
• 51:59
  Speaker 9: thirds of all kids in the US between the ages
• 52:01
  Speaker 9: of nine and twelve play games on the platform.
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: Quote.
• 52:04
  Speaker 9: Public reports have shown roeblocks has become an environment for
• 52:07
  Speaker 9: predators and other bad actors, including so called assassination simulators
• 52:11
  Speaker 9: bowing the horrific killing of Charlie Kirk, as well as
• 52:14
  Speaker 9: with extremists extortion groups that have extorted, threatened, and even
• 52:16
  Speaker 9: conspired to kill children as young as eight. According to
• 52:20
  Speaker 9: Attorney General Coleman's news release, that's what they're alleging. Yeah,
• 52:26
  Speaker 9: so again, I'm not that familiar with it myself. I
• 52:31
  Speaker 9: don't play it, none of my kids. You know, they're
• 52:33
  Speaker 9: way too old for this sort of thing at this point.
• 52:36
  Speaker 9: You know, I can only go off what I've read
• 52:38
  Speaker 9: and it's been reported, But I will say this, Brian,
• 52:42
  Speaker 9: any platform where kids can interact with other people has
• 52:47
  Speaker 9: this potential. You know, anyone can go online and easily
• 52:51
  Speaker 9: create a fake profile. They can now use AI to
• 52:54
  Speaker 9: create fake avatars and you know, fake voices and do
• 52:57
  Speaker 9: all kinds of things. So I think it's really important
• 53:01
  Speaker 9: to warn your kids that on any platform they're using again,
• 53:04
  Speaker 9: it doesn't matter whether it's a game, social media, or whatever,
• 53:08
  Speaker 9: there's certainly the possibility you're going to run into bad
• 53:10
  Speaker 9: people who want to do bad things to them. Again, sextortion.
• 53:14
  Speaker 9: We've talked about it before. That's explicitly mentioned in here.
• 53:19
  Speaker 9: Kids should be warned about this stuff, and you know,
• 53:22
  Speaker 9: warned that there are bad people online looking for them,
• 53:25
  Speaker 9: will pretend to be someone else, the sextortion thing. You know,
• 53:30
  Speaker 9: many kids have killed themselves.
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: I know this.
• 53:33
  Speaker 9: I'm actually glad you brought this up because I think
• 53:35
  Speaker 9: it's an important topic and it's not just roadblocks. It'll
• 53:40
  Speaker 9: be interesting to see how this lawsuit plays out. Again,
• 53:44
  Speaker 9: these are strong allegations. I have no firsthand knowledge. I
• 53:47
  Speaker 9: can only tell you what I've read about it. But
• 53:50
  Speaker 9: kids and their parents and grandparents need to know about
• 53:52
  Speaker 9: this so that hopefully if they are going to use
• 53:55
  Speaker 9: these sorts of platforms, games, tools, etc. They at least have,
• 54:00
  Speaker 9: you know, have some degree of education and awareness about it,
• 54:02
  Speaker 9: and some level of skepticism about the people they meet online.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: There no question about it. The other one, in addition
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: to roadblocks, which you've talked about, discord, is the other
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: one that the FBI specifically pointed to in this release
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: about the so called seven six y four predator group.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: I just it brought a bile in the back of
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: my throat to hear what some of these perverts are
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: asking children and getting children to do through these through
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: this manipulation.
• 54:27
  Speaker 9: Dave, Yeah, I'm not familiar with the seven sixty fourth thing.
• 54:31
  Speaker 9: I don't know if that's news that just recently broke.
• 54:33
  Speaker 9: I have not heard of that before.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: They've got hundreds of active investigation. That's why the release
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: was made yesterday. I mean, who knew about this? I mean,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: who knew about it unless you were part of these
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: pervert this pervert organization. That's the other thing. The Internet
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: allows these people to gather together and congregate and commiserate
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: together and sort of support their twisted ideas. It's like
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: getting into an echo chamber filled with twisted minds.
• 54:56
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's uh. The Internet, for all all of the
• 55:00
  Speaker 9: things it does to make life better, can be a
• 55:02
  Speaker 9: scary place, especially for children. Now Here it's interesting, Brian.
• 55:06
  Speaker 9: While we were talking, I found an actual press release
• 55:10
  Speaker 9: from the Attorney General's Office here and it mentions seven
• 55:13
  Speaker 9: six four. Earlier this year, twenty five year old Kentucky
• 55:16
  Speaker 9: mammoth ties to an extremist sex stortion group called seven
• 55:19
  Speaker 9: sixty four pleaded guilty as part of the plot to
• 55:22
  Speaker 9: groom extort, threatned, and even conspired to kill children as
• 55:24
  Speaker 9: young as eight using various on PLNE platforms.
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: The group seven sixty.
• 55:29
  Speaker 9: Four is known to utilize roadblocks among other platforms. So again,
• 55:34
  Speaker 9: this is what they allege. I don't know. This is
• 55:37
  Speaker 9: a press release. Anyone that's interested can find it at
• 55:40
  Speaker 9: ky Kentucky dot gov.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: Kentucky dot gov and then go ahead and search for
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: seven sixty four network and look at the FBI said
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: about it and all the criminal investigations that have been launched,
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: all the prosecutions that I mean, you got to have
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: probable cause to go after someone. Dave, there apparently is
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: a lot a lot this activity going on. Let's continue
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: with Dave Hadter some in thirty seven fifty five KCD
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: talk station. I'll mean to mention something great, which is
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: twenty two twenty two three fire Talk station six forty
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: one on a Friday, doing that tech Friday thing with
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: interest dot COM's Dave hat or get in touch with
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: the interest. I let us pivot over, you know, considering
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: the prior topic. Let's skip the cloud flare outage moment
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: and talk about social media again fueling what you were
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: describing as a fake weight loss drug booms just like
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: an ozempic kind of thing.
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: Dave Yes.
• 56:35
  Speaker 9: And you know, this is a combination of the things
• 56:39
  Speaker 9: we've talked about for years, you know, online scams and fraud.
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: Social media being able to move.
• 56:45
  Speaker 9: Things at large scale and rapidly, and then using AI
• 56:51
  Speaker 9: to create celebrity endorsements and things like that. Right with
• 56:54
  Speaker 9: products out there now like Sora Vio three from Google,
• 56:58
  Speaker 9: it's it's incredibly easy. Again, I encourage people to go
• 57:01
  Speaker 9: see for themselves so you can understand the full gravity
• 57:04
  Speaker 9: of this. It's incredibly easy to get online, find tools
• 57:08
  Speaker 9: that will create extremely realistic videos with little skill and
• 57:14
  Speaker 9: you know, in many cases free, So.
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: You've got a perfect storm.
• 57:19
  Speaker 9: And whether it's you know, a zembi except bound, other
• 57:21
  Speaker 9: weight loss drugs which are very popular now, or you know,
• 57:25
  Speaker 9: anything someone would want to try to sell.
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: I don't want to just limit this.
• 57:29
  Speaker 9: To this weight loss topic, because you know this could
• 57:31
  Speaker 9: be used for anything someone wants to sell quote unquote,
• 57:35
  Speaker 9: and you know sometimes what they're selling, you're never going
• 57:37
  Speaker 9: to get it.
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: It's just a complete straight up scam.
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 57:40
  Speaker 9: That's bad enough, But I would argue in other cases,
• 57:42
  Speaker 9: you know you're going to get some fraudulent knockoff type
• 57:46
  Speaker 9: product which you know could be dangerous depending on what
• 57:49
  Speaker 9: it is, including some sort of drug, whether it's you know,
• 57:54
  Speaker 9: a placebo or filled with god knows what. You know,
• 57:58
  Speaker 9: folks need to be very careful when they're buying things online.
• 58:02
  Speaker 9: You know, the old thing is true, Brian, if it
• 58:04
  Speaker 9: seems too good to be true, it probably is.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: Well, except for ozempic and those similar category and class
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: weight loss drugs, which are sound too good to be true,
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: but apparently it makes it pretty easy to lose weight,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: so the concept is out there, which makes them so
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: wildly popular. But that allows others to use the success
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: of those drugs for obviously nefarious purposes.
• 58:27
  Speaker 9: Yes, so here's a stat related just specifically to the
• 58:31
  Speaker 9: weight loss category. Interpol says weight loss drugs accounted for
• 58:35
  Speaker 9: a growing share of counterfeit and unapproved medicines intercept the nationwide.
• 58:39
  Speaker 9: In October of twenty twenty five, authorities in the UK
• 58:42
  Speaker 9: reported the largest seizure of traffic weight loss medicines ever recorded,
• 58:45
  Speaker 9: valued at a quarter of a million pounds and included
• 58:48
  Speaker 9: thousands of injectable pens containing something called retar retried or
• 58:55
  Speaker 9: something apparently some drug fit's being tested and you know
• 58:58
  Speaker 9: it hasn't been proven, that sort of thing. So again
• 59:02
  Speaker 9: I would remind folks that it's not just that you
• 59:06
  Speaker 9: might it might just be a straight up scam. You're
• 59:08
  Speaker 9: never going to get anything for the money. You know,
• 59:11
  Speaker 9: you might get some kind of weird knockoff thing that's
• 59:14
  Speaker 9: not very good, or you could get something that's actually dangerous.
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, who knows what's in this case.
• 59:19
  Speaker 9: It sounds like it's some other drug that may or
• 59:21
  Speaker 9: may not work, may or may not be safe. Who knows.
• 59:25
  Speaker 9: But I mean this, this article here has a quick
• 59:28
  Speaker 9: comparison so with goov. This is prices in dollars in
• 59:32
  Speaker 9: the US. It's one thousand and thirty one thousand, three
• 59:36
  Speaker 9: hundred and forty nine dollars Manjarro and that's for four
• 59:42
  Speaker 9: doses Manjaro. Four doses one thousand, two hundred ninety four dollars,
• 59:47
  Speaker 9: sax Indo, which I've never even heard of, five doses
• 59:50
  Speaker 9: one thousand, three hundred and forty nine dollars. So if
• 59:52
  Speaker 9: you go online and find a site that reports to
• 59:54
  Speaker 9: be selling you, you know, willgovy at three hundred bucks
• 59:58
  Speaker 9: or something, you can almost guarantee it's a scam, right yeah,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 9: and then throw in some celebrity endorsement, very very you know,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 9: probably ninety nine point nine nine nine percent chance it's
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 9: a scam. So yeah, folks need to be aware of
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 9: these scams. They need to be aware of how easy
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 9: it is to use these AI tools to create these
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 9: celebrity endorsements or whatever. Oh yeah, and again it seems
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 9: too good to be true. It probably is.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: No doubt about it. Jees like James Earld Jones is
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: trying to convince you to buy three hundred dollars Rosidompic
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: that is probably a fake six forty five right now,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: or with tech Friddy's Dave Hatter, speaking of deep fake,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: it's six fifty to fifty five kir Se detalk station
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: revealing my age. Is it live or is it memoracs?
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: We are in the modern times. Now in twenty twenty five,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: am I seeing something that's real? Or is it artificial
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: intelligence generated? We're talking about video here, deep fake videos?
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: How about the deep fake fever dream as this article
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: refers to this new technology. Dave Hatter, I hate this stuff.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 9: It's it's interesting, Brian, because just like in the last segment,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 9: you know, these these tools that can now create very
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 9: very realistic video. And this isn't something in a lab somewhere.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 9: This isn't something you need to be an mit to access. Right,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 9: you can go online right now and try these things out.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 9: And I guess there's a couple of terms I wanted
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 9: to throw out. You know, first off, you might hear
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 9: the term spoofing, which is sort of a catch all
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 9: term for creating things that look legitimate that aren't, whether
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 9: it's an email, a text message, a video, whatever. Right,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 9: So if you hear spoofing, that's generally what they're talking
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 9: about in the digital world, creating something that looks real
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 9: that isn't. And it's a real problem because as technology
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 9: is increasingly entwined in our lives and everything that we do,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 9: and it's these tools that make it easier to create
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 9: very authentic looking things that are actually spoofed. You know
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 9: that the possibility for fraud is just skyrocketing. It's been
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 9: one of my concerns about these things, really since it
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 9: became a known thing, is it's now really easy to
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 9: clone someone's voice, to take a photo or a video
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 9: of someone and make another video that's completely fake. And again,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 9: whether it's used for some sort of fraudulent purpose like
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 9: a celebrity endorsement, or it's used to create a video
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 9: of your boss telling you to do something that you know,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 9: transfer phones or whatever. This stuff is now everywhere, and
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 9: you know, the Internet is increasingly full of what's now
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 9: known in the business as AI slop, all these crazy
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 9: AI videos of weird things that are clearly not real.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 9: But I'm much less concerned about that than I am
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 9: the fact that anyone can go online use one of
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 9: these tools to make things that are extremely realistic looking.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 9: And you know, we've talked about this off and on
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 9: for years now, whether it's okay, I want to frame
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 9: a person we're saying or doing something that they didn't do.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 9: I want to use these tools to try to get
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 9: myself out of a problem because you said I did X.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: But no, here's a video of me. Why. I mean,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: you know, this is creating impact.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: Creating an ALBI. I mentioned the idea of creating reasonable
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: doubt in the hearts and minds of the jurors. You know,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: just by casting aspersions on a real video, like a
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: police video, they could, you know, the defense attorney could say,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: you know what this day and age check it out.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: Listen to Dave Hatter on The Thomas Show. This sora
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: AI program which allows you to create genuine they look
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: like real videos. I don't know what this video is,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: but you know, we got to worry about that. Here
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: this man could be convicted and I don't know, I
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: have a doubt that this is even real.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 9: Right, Yes, now, you know, ideally you'd have metadata.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: Like no, I understand there's it's a complex evidentiary change
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: can be proven by the prosecutors.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: And but but your general point is correct.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 9: Yes, I mean, all you really need is one juror
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 9: that doubts it, right, And at that point, and as
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 9: this stuff gets more complex and more capable of generating
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 9: incredibly realistic thing, you know, it's going to be hard
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 9: for the average person to really understand all that mumbo
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 9: jumbo about exit data and this, that and the other,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 9: you know.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: And like you said, a political video that's made. It
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: shows Donald Trump, I don't know, molesting some child, and
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: it gets traction and people aren't thinking, you know, more
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: than a second in front of their heads, and oh,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: look at that area is there's the.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 6: Proof he is a perverb.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: Look at it, you know. And by the time the
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: fires put out and it's brought to everybody's attention. No,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: this is artificially created. You know, there's already a lot
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: of damage that's been done. That's just a random musing
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: from my head on the fly. Here, Dave, you can
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: see how bad this could be.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 9: There's so many different ways that this can cause issues.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 9: And I know the average person thinks, okay, well, how
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 9: is this going to affect me? And I just want
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 9: to I want to point out and I'll send it
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 9: to you guys.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: Maybe we can do it next week.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 9: I recently did an interview I don't think we talked
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 9: about this with a reporter out of Columbus where we
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 9: deep faked his voice. And I've done this with several
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 9: other reporters. You can kind of watch on TV how
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 9: it works, how easy it is, how anyone can do it.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 9: But you know what, I'll tell people all the time
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 9: because I'd be like, well, I'm not Brian Thomas, I'm
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 9: not John Matta Reeves. How would you get my voice?
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 9: How do you have a voicemail greeting on your phone?
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 9: Because if you do, I can call it and record
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 9: your voice. And we did that with Steve Levine from Columbus.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 9: We literally called his phone, recorded his voice, fed it
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 9: into a free tool I found online, and you can
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 9: literally watch me type and his voice come out to speakers.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 9: So it's real, it's absolutely real.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: Well, and the word gets out on this just generally speaking,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: you know, Okay, there's fake stuff out that looks real,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: there's fake audio out there that sounds real that obviously
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: the I think the majority of people know that that
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: concept exists. Then we start doubting literally everything.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 9: That's you You certainly need to have a healthy dose
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 9: of skepticism now right, anything that you see or hear,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 9: because it could be fake. It's never been easier to
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 9: fake it. And you know, that's the best defense against this.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 9: Now there are you know, there are people working on
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 9: watermarking technologies and ways to try to determine if something
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 9: is fake. But when things can happen very quickly, you know,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 9: do you when you get a call from your son
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 9: who's in jail and needs money to get out of
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 9: jail in the middle of the night and you're not
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 9: thinking clearly because it's three am and they're upset and
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 9: you're upset, are you really or your boss leaves you
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 9: a voicemail telling you to transfer funds? You know, are
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 9: you really going to question that? If you don't understand,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 9: this is very real now and easily accessible to any
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 9: criminal out there. And that's why you know that, the awareness,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 9: the skepticism. If you don't operate with that approach, you
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 9: are eventually going to get scammed. I mean, it's just
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 9: a matter of time till they find you. And I'm
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 9: not suggesting they're going to target you for five hundred
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 9: dollars in gift cards. But people have to understand so
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 9: much of this isn't really targeted, right, It's not like
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 9: they're thinking of out sound Cindy Lou who down the street.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 9: She just happens to come up on a list. They
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 9: make a call, Oh, here's a voicemail, let's record it.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 9: Let's see what we can do. Now, there are plenty
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 9: of targeted attacks, Don't get me wrong. I think we
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 9: talked about the voice cloning attack on the CEO of
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 9: Ferrari and how they tried to get the CFO of
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 9: Ferrari to transfer some funds that you know was thwarted.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 9: So yeah, it's real. You got to be skeptical. You
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 9: got to understand that you should act with caution anytime
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 9: anyone is asking you to do something unusual, anytime there's urgency,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 9: anytime there's pressure applied to you to do something, especially
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 9: if it's financial, you know, those are all strong red
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 9: flags that you're getting scammed. I would advise people don't
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 9: take any phone call from a number you don't know.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: It's important.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 9: They'll leave a message. The local sheriff is never going
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 9: to ask you to buy gift cards. Your bank is
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 9: not going to tell you to transfer funds to another
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 9: bank or the irs to protect them. I mean, it's
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 9: just sadly all common. SCAN on NBI Day of warns
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 9: about these things all the time.
• 1:08:03

• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: that's floating down the around the world is on your mind.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: Feel free to give me a rang. Let's talk about it.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: Five one three, seven four nine to fifty five hundred,

  Speaker 1: eight hundred eight to two three talk go with pound

• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: seven thirty bottom of this hour the return of Patty
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: Scott Heart for Seniors. I think is probably my one
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: of my least favorite organizations, doing just so much wonderful
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: work for seniors that are being cared for by loved
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: ones or in assisted living facilities. Life is not easy
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: for those folks, not easy for the caregivers, not easy
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: of course for the seniors. And Patti Scott in her
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: organization have so many wonderful tools, items, things that can
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: help everyone deal with the problems go along with caring
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: for folks that are dealing with, you know, mental issues
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: and senior issues generally speaking, like the bandages that they
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: offer through Heart for seniors that do not stick to
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: the skin but remain a fixed so you don't have
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: that skin tearing problem. We'll hear from her bottom of
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: the hour, Congressman David Taylor. One hour from now, turn
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: a Congressman Taylor, we'll talk a little bit about Epstein.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about something that I think is very important.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: The Commercial Motor Vehicle English Proficiency Act. Just seems like
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: simple common sense. You should need to be able to
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: speak English, or at least read the road signs and
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: understand them before you get behind the wheel of a
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: semi tractor trailer. No, nothing can go wrong with someone
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: who's not English.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: The funniest part about that, We're talking about this in
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: the context of illegal immigrants, and you know, California issuing
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: commercial driver's licenses to people, even if they're not illegal,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: who can't read. I don't know how you get through
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: a commercial driver's license exam without being able to read,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: because the exam itself, Oh, that's right, they provided in
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: different languages. In any event, That's one thing. But then
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: consider the state of the education system in this country
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: and realize that there are a lot of children out
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: there in K through twelve, regardless of their immigrant status,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of them born in the United States of
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: America to Americans citizens can't read. Are they going to
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: be able to get a driver's license? Maybe I'll ask
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: Congress from David Taylor about that. Finally, what's next? Now
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: the government's back and open. Uh, And well, the Epstein
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: files have been released, Although that topic of conversation is
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: going to survive long, long beyond the release of the documents.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: That only has just begun from my perspective. Then, following
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: David Taylor, we're gonna get Mike Hogan and Natalie Cooking
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: in studio. They're with meals on wheels. It's the Bust
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: a Crust campaign going to help out folks on life's
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: margins through the Meals on Wheels program, getting folks meals
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: delivered to their homes, Folks in need like the seniors
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: I just mentioned. So they'll be on at eight thirty
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: closing out Friday on a positive note. Five one, three, seven,
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred eight hundred two three talk
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: Remember fifty five krsee dot com for podcasts and you
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: can't listen live and get your iHeart media apps. You
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: can listen to stuff and things wherever you happen to
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: be on the iHeart platform. We heard from Jay Ratliffe
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: and thanks to Jay getting back and overcome his bell's
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: palsy diagnosis, our iHeartMedia Aviation XI Bird returned yesterday and
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: what a great thing that was. It was Abraham Lincoln
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: Day yesterday. I don't know if you saw the empower
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: Use seminar, but we had the Abraham Lincoln in person
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: impersonator last night and also had Tim McGrath on the
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: show yesterday. Three Roads to Gettysburg sound like a fascinating book,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: and Congressman Warren Davidson, it's all at fifty five KRC
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: dot com. Let's see here. I thought this was a
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: good development. As I read, I've read a multitude of
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: articles about the fraud, waste, and abuse in every government program.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: I know they haven't fallen below your radar. There was
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: a report out of Minnesota about the Somali population up
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: there committing massive fraud in the medicaid program and the
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: money being sent to Al Shabab, the terrorist organization. That's right,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: your American taxpayer dollars is a consequence of massive fraud
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: has resulted in the funding of terrorist organization. And there's
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: just one story after another, and weirdly, a lot of
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: its centers around autism diagnoses. Now I know it's probably
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: made it to your radar as well. Autism's on the rise.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. What causes autisms? Is it vaccine? Is
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: it our diet? Is it processed food? Is it just
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: because we have a keener awareness of what is autism
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: and what isn't, has the definition of autism change? Perhaps
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: every single one of those factors is part of the
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: reason we have a greater discussion about the problems of autism.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: But that can lead to the formation of non governmental
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: organizations designed to deal with the problems of autism. And
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened in Minnesota the tune of hundreds
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: of millions of dollars. Yeah, random Somalis create these individual
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: NGOs that are going to help facilitate children getting the
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: autism treatment they need. They set up facilities and clinics
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: to purposefully, yet fraudulently identify children as being autistic. So
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: a doctor and they connive with other family members. Hey,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: just go to the clinic, take your child in. We're
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: going to give you a slice of the pie, maybe
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: fifteen hundred dollars. If you have this doctor diagnosed as
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: your child is autistic, Well that doctor will get paid
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: MM through the federal government, and then you'll send them
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: over to one of these NGOs where they're going to
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: get some assistance in treatment. Yes, the NGAA is going
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: to get a lot of money for each of the
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: children they treat, and of course they package that money
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: up and send it overseas. That's a boiled down version.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: You can read the bright Bart article. It's a Minnesota
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: Somali medicaid fraud investigation reveals terrorist link. Largest funder of
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: Al Shabab is the Minnesota taxpayer. So with that in mind,
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: I was pleased to see the Treasury Departments announcement yesterday
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: explaining that, well, there's a new regulation out there barring
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: individuals with unlawful status in the United States from accessing
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: tax credit benefits.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 6: Huh.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: Treasury proposed rule making is going to cover the refunded
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: portions of individual income tax credits like, yes, the Earned
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: Income Tax Credit, additional Child Tax Credit, American Opportunity Tax Credit,
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: something called these savers match credit. Now, are illegal immigrants
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: entitled any of this? Apparently right now they get it.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: None of these proposals. Those credits are going to fall
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: plainly within the definition of quote federal public benefits, and
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: because they are federal benefits under the current state of law,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants are not entitled to them. Treasury Secretary Scotts said,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: under President Donald Trump's leadership, we are enforcing the law
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: and preventing illegal aliens from claiming tax benefits when intended
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: for American as citizens. Treasure officials of tax policy and
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: the irs have worked tirelessly to advanced as initiative and
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: ensure it's successful implementation. So you know what you know,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: you basically fill out a tax form, you claim these credits.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe you line your income. You know your quote unquote
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: eligible if you're an American citizen to claim these, they
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: send you a check. The IRS send you a check.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: Child tax credit, I send you a check. It's like
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: shooting fish in a barrow to get money out of
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: the American taxpayer, isn't it well? This rule would change that.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: Treasury stated of the Department of Justice has recently issued
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: an opinion supporting their interpretation of the law. Final regulations
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: beginning next tax year twenty twenty six. So the bell
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: has not been unwrung for this tax year. Obviously, tax
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: has been fired's filed so far, But at least next year,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: we're going to prevent the opportunity for people to builk
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: the system. Every single one of these programs is just
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: overwhelmed with fraud. If you create a government program and
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: you promise handing out money, whether it's COVID money or
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: any other form of money, someone's going to take advantage
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: of it. We sit idly by and let this happen. Well,
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: at least a Trump administration is going to deal with
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: these various tax credits. Isn't that a positive step in
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: the right direction? Seven fifteen, Jay and John, you guys, next,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: hold on, take your call right out of the gate
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: when I get back after Face Ship seven, nineteen fifty five,
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: Karri City Talks Station Hard for Seniors coming up next
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: to Patty Scott's in house. Real quick here before I
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: go to the funds, Jay, one moment here bear with me.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: So here here you can see the pattern here. According
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: to the sources autism claims in for Medicaid in Minnesota,
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, there were three million dollars for autism
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: claims to medicate. Fast forward a few years in twenty
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: twenty three, that had jumped to three hundred and ninety
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: nine million dollars providers. In twenty twenty there were forty
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: one business providers related to autism in the entire state.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: That number jumped to three hundred and twenty eight by
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: this year, all of them applying for receiving Medicaid funding.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: One in every sixteen Somali four year olds in Minnesota
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: has been officially diagnosed with autism, triple the state average. No,
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: there's nothing to see here, Jay, thanks for calling this morning.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Showy.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 10: Good morning, Brian. I read that same article, yeah, and
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 10: the only thing I could think of was as far
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 10: as I know from the federal government's latest last report,
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 10: which they are way late. That's supposed to be a
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 10: mandatory annual report laying out date by state who which
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 10: state is worse. We are still worse than Minnesota. No, really,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 10: Americans for Prosperity. When the ones that brought a delight
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 10: that said it was a forty five percent improper payment
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 10: rate for the state of Ohio, which means you take
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 10: the right now, our state budget, forty five billion out
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 10: of one hundred and twenty billion dollar budget is in Medicaid.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 10: Forty five percent of that is improper payment. I have
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 10: not heard that that number got any better. And due
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 10: to your good work, you and Joe, we've heard over
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 10: the years, Auditor Keith Faber come on and talk about
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 10: it's hard, it's complicated. There's eighty eight counties, there's computers.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 4: You know it.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 10: It smells like work and rather not do any We
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 10: have a joint Medicaid Oversight Committee up in Columbus. Who's
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 10: supposed to be watching this? I think it's equal number
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 10: of Republicans and Democrats. They all get paid to be
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 10: on this committee. It's been around for decades. Jennifer Gross
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 10: to her credit, came on your program maybe a year
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 10: ago and talked about how much incentive there is in
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 10: state money to get able bodied people on Medicaid and
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 10: it is just a disaster and it's the most underreported
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 10: and lack of accountability. Where is the Attorney General, Dave yost.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 3: Is?
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 10: This is right at the feat of the Ohio Republican Party.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 10: And I'll go back to one of my favorite recent targets,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 10: these are your people, Central Committee. Do you put your power,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 10: your backing, and all the money and influence if the
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 10: Ohio Republican Republican Party has and we are worse until
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 10: somebody shows up with the data that says we're not.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 10: And where is this annual report that's supposed to come
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 10: out of the CMMs? Last time it served was because
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 10: of a Foyer request from Americans for Prosperity, not because
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 10: the Republican Party in the state of Ohio is demanding
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 10: to know if we are still in last place out
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 10: of fifty states.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: That right in of itself is rather interesting.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 5: Jay.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: They're supposed to put the report out and they didn't.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: A Foyer request from judicial wa Wash only is the
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: only reason they actually did put out the information. Why
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: is it that no elected official in the state of
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: Ohio isn't at least curious about what the current status
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: is with regard to the Medicaid payments.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 10: I mean, Jennifer Gross can answer that. Jennifer Gross can
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 10: answer that question better than anybody. And my memory from
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 10: my recollection, she came on and talked about that the
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 10: state money and then the incentives that come from putting
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 10: able bodied people on Medicaid. For every person they get
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 10: on Medicaid, State of Ohio gets a kick back from
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 10: the federal government. So you know, Mike de Wine doesn't
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 10: look at it like we're all paying federal tax. We
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 10: pay that and then we pay state tax.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 4: He holds up a.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 10: Bill, but he had a when he got his record
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 10: setting budget, he held it up and like he did
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 10: some amazing thing that our budget in Ohio is one
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 10: hundred and forty billion. Next door neighbor Pennsylvania's forty five billion,
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 10: and they have a GDP that's bigger than ours. They
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 10: have a one trillion dollar GDP and weren't nine hundred million.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 10: And if Republicans are acting like Democrats in this state,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 10: and where is the where is the joint Medicaid Oversight
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 10: Committee they have a chairman, might be good to invite
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 10: them onto the program and say, what the hell are
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 10: we paying you and everybody else sitting on that committee
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 10: to do for all these years. I asked if I
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 10: could attend the hearing. Answers negative, No, that's not open
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 10: for the public. They did send me some link to
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 10: where I can watch the committee hearing go on, But
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 10: I would love to know what the hell are they
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 10: talking about in these meetings and what are we paying
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 10: them for.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: If you heard me chuckle when you said that about
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: get them on the program, Joe uttered in my head
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: said in slim just left town.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 4: Well, Jennifer Gross has been on.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: She's on there, she has she's not the chairman. I
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: don't know chairperson. No, not to chermyally correct. Okay, yeah,
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: I understand that. Maybe we get it back on to
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: talk about if there's been any developments or any new
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: information on that. I know this is this is like
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: your hot button topic. I just mentioned medicaid. I know
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get a call from you.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 3: Jay.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 10: I would have never heard about it. If it wasn't
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 10: for you and Joe and your program.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: Then Americans for Prosperity they do great work, they really do,
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: and I appreciate it.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 10: Kind of backed off of it. He backed off of
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 10: it last time.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: He was ad.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 10: He said, yeah, we don't really you know, if we
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 10: did an audit, it would probably only yield a million bucks,
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 10: because you were using that to say, can't we can't
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 10: we lower a property tax by getting the medicaid fraud
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 10: And he said, well, it'd only be about a million
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 10: bucks if we did an audit. Well, how in the
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 10: hell do you know what the audit is going to
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 10: be before you do an audit?
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: Valid point. Let's let's get the information right, And that's
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: what it comes down to. And you know what, wouldn't
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: it be great if what we got was a clean
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: bill of health that the program was in fact run
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: efficiently and there was very little, if no fraud, wasting abuse.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: I would love to hear a report card like that.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: I'd be jaded and cynical it was true or not.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: But if you get the information, that's what's important. It's
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: like the autism information, dude, vaccines cause it maybe we
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: don't know, but AT want you to be aware of
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: the fact that there could be a link of connection there.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: Our ultra process food is responsible for our crazy diabetic problem,
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: to ec problem, et cetera, et cetera. They're finding research
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: out there, They're putting the information out there. It's for
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: you to absorb and consume. We need information. We need
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: to have some measure and showing of responsibility, like a
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: fiduciary obligation by our elected officials with the money we
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: hand them over. You know, they take the money from
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: us under threatened, under prosecutions, under prosecution in jail. You
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: must pay your taxes. Well, damn it. If I have
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: to pay my taxes will end up in jail. If
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: I don't, you better damn well be responsible in spreading
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: that money around. There shouldn't be any fraud, waste and abuse.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: It's like I think a Dave had Ter and Internet
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: of Things devices, they should have security as the first
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: and foremost thing on their minds when they're sending something
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: out in the world. Right, how about we start with
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: the impossibility of committing fraud, waste and abuse on any
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: given program in government. Let's make it impossible, if not
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: onerously difficult. Shouldn't that be job one? I think we
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: should make that the new focus. Jay, Thank you very much.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: John apologize out of time. I got Patty Heart standing in.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 6: The talk station.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: Seven thirty one, fifty five KRSD talk station. Even listen
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: to the fifty five KRC Morning Show for a while.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: You know that I adore the work that Heart for
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: Seniors is doing for folks living in assisted living facilities
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: as well as being cared for by family members or
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: other caregivers in the home. Wonderful services and they're trying
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: to make life a lot easier in so many ways.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: They have. Welcome back, Patty Scott Heart for Seniors. Find

  Speaker 1: them online, you'd be glad you did. Heart the word

  Speaker 5: Patty.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: It's good to have you back in studio on a Friday.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 11: Thank you, Brian, Thank you so much, and we love
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 11: your listeners. First of all, considering next week's Thanksgiving, we
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 11: are beyon grateful, amen so grateful that number one, we
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 11: have our seniors living amongst us. Yes, whether they're in
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 11: a facility, whether they're at home. There's no reason why
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 11: you should age without any dignity, and so we're just
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 11: so grateful that your listeners care. I'll tell you it'll
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 11: be almost a year next month that you had us
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 11: on your first show. Oh no kidding, Yes, yes, a.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: Year next month goes by so quickly.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 11: It does, and we just are so grateful. We couldn't
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 11: have done any of this or expanded or touched any
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 11: of these lives without your listeners. So we're very, very grateful.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: Well, I am grateful for you, I really am. And
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: it's why I'm so happy that you came on the show.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: At the outset, I didn't realize that these, you know,
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: the problems that you deal with and address even existed.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: I was painfully aware of the situation my father was
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: in when he was with Alzheimer's and the Alzheimer facility.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: But Mom was there all the time, you know, I
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: mean most of the time anyway, But you nonetheless saw
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: the struggles. It is not easy being you know, I
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: will describe it as in an invalid condition, in an
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: invalid state, impossible to care for yourself and reliant among
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: about a reliant on others who, if they're not a
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: family member, probably don't have the care and concern first
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: and foremost in the mind that a loved one would.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: And when it comes to the diaper, changing that to me,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: it's just wow, you're in air tract infections. You know,
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: Dad went through some of those wallowing in that because
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: they're on a schedule. Rather than knowing immediately when there's
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: a continence and incontinence issue, you have the technology that
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: you know, boom right there, you know, the minute it happens,
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: you can assign the person to that room right away,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: not a schedule where you're just sort of waiting around.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: Just the first you're the one that introduced the technology
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: to me, and all the realities that go along with
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: the problems of not having that regular.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 11: Assystem alert response technology. You know, at the end of
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 11: the day, all we need to know is we need
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 11: to be alerted. And there's all kinds of alert devices
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 11: out there, but none that other than our system that
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 11: shows you that there's been an incontinence episode. You know,
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 11: why should somebody have to sit in there yurn in
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 11: their feces. It just goes to skin breakdown and so
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 11: many other things. And then we heard from your listeners
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 11: that they weren't just in nursing homes. They were at
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 11: home right and they needed help because they're working. There
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 11: are other places, and so we stepped up to the call,
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 11: and we created an app so that they could have
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 11: the technology at home. You know this little device right here,
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 11: Alert Response Technology, it's heart rate, it's pull socks, you know,
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 11: it's that's the risk monitors, that's the risks where Yeah,
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 11: the smartwatch. Yeah, and it alerts and tells you if
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 11: it goes below ninety if it alerts if I mean,
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 11: I can just tell you the heart rate alone. Somebody
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 11: got an alert the other day. Family member got it.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 11: They were able to determine what was going on and
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 11: there and father had forgotten to actually take their heart medication.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 11: No kidding, Brady cardia heart rate drop. Couldn't figure out
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 11: what had happened. Alert Response Technology realized the medicine had
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 11: not been taken.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: Just scratching the surface. Here with Patty Scott from Heart
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: for Seniors, Heart the Number four Seniors dot or we'll continue,
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: got more things to talk about, all positive here on
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: a Friday, as we had segue into Thanksgiving week seventh
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: seen seven fifty five Kroosity Talk station fifty five Carosee
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: getting out there. Some love for my senior friends in
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: the audience and those who care for them. Heart for
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: Seniors word Heart the Number four seniors dot Org, Patty
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: Scott's in studio, and a shout out to my friends
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: Charlotte and Bob. Charlotte and Bob, good morning to both
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: of you. Apparently they may very well be listening. Charlotte
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: told me that she was. I had the pleasure of
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: being introduced to her a few weeks ago and when
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: Patty was in the studio, and apparently she is there
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: every morning to hear me say five oh five. So
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: good morning Charlotte and Bob. And I understand you know
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: you mentioned to me the move over to the bandages,
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: and I've been doing some commercial See these things are amazing, amazing.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: First off, you're the one that made me realize that
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: a regular band aid on a senior with thin skin
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: will literally pull the skin off.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 11: It pulds the skin. A band aid, a bandage.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: She had these wonderful bandages, and props to the company
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: that brought that helps provide you with them. You are
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: a five ozho one to three c nonprofit organization. You're
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: there for the sole purpose of helping seniors. These bandages
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: actually stick, but they act like a post it note
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: on a wall. It's easy to tear off. It's just
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: so simple, and yet it remains the fixed until you
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: decide to pull it off. You had told me that
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: that seniors end up in urgent care because of bandage wounds,
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: like we're talking about urgent care in hospitals.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 11: It would amaze taking off a bandage. Taking off a bandage,
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 11: or they bump into a wall and a normal bandage
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 11: won't and they call the fire department. I can't tell
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 11: you how to talk to your local firefighters. They'll tell
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 11: you how many calls they make to seniors that just
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 11: have bummed into a wall and they can't stop bleeding
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 11: because there's nothing to put on them. They themselves don't
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 11: even have the right proper bandages that don't tear the skin.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 11: There's nothing out there like it. We please get in
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 11: touch with us, go to Hard for Seniors. We will
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 11: send you samples. We've sent so many samples out to people,
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 11: so many organizations. Steve Wilson, one of your followers, came
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 11: in with the American Legion in Lovelin and they donated
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 11: so many boxes to the community, to the veterans that
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 11: were in need. He himself just has wound after wound
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 11: on his arms, scratches, and here's the deal if you've
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 11: got to be so careful with that thinning skin, because
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 11: if it rips and it tears, you've got other issues.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 11: I mean, it could turn into skin breakdown, which then
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 11: turns into sepsis, which turns into other things. So it's
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 11: just so important to pay attention. Kelly Bird, I know
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 11: she's out there listening. She's one of your followers. She
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 11: contacted us last time. Westchester is taking care of their
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 11: seniors that are homebound, and we actually are pulling together
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 11: some donations to be able to throw into some shoeboxes
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 11: for those seniors. They call it Seniors and Shoeboxes. So
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 11: anyone with a giving spirit that wants to donate some
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 11: wound bandages, they just need to go to our site
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 11: and we're filling up those boxes next week to be
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 11: able to get out. There's so many people homebound. Seniors
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 11: are homebound. Yeah, they're just home bound well.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: And as bad as maybe being in an assisted facility
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: assisted living facility may be, most people just simply can't.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, it may be a better option for folks
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: in terms convenience, the twenty four to seven care that
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: might exist there, the meals that are prepared and all that.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: It's all good, but most people really can't afford that.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: It's just outrageously expensive. And that's why there are so
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: many seniors being cared forward home.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 11: In our region alone, there's sixty six thousand in a
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 11: long term care facility. There's two point three million at home.
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: Holy and boy has to strain the resources of the
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: homes that did the deals with that. But you know,
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: I guess went on balance, I would rather be in
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: a situation where a family member is taking care of
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: me the being in a assisted living facility. But it
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: just gets beyond.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 11: They need resources, they need to huh.
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, I think of my poor mom. You know,
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: it was her and my dad. It was going to
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: kill her. She was exhausted after caring for him for
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: a couple of years NonStop, twenty four to seven. You're
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: up at night, you're up during the day. You're trying
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: to get them fed, you want to make sure they're hydrated,
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: you have to clean them up regularly. I mean, it's
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: on and on and on and on, and at some
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: point there's a breaking point.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 11: So but we're here's a resource. We're here to help.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 11: We even even if we're just an advocate. We've had
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 11: a lot of people contact us. They're in a hospital,
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 11: they're family members in a hospital. They don't know whether
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 11: to send them to what facility. They don't even realize
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 11: that if just for a couple more days, we call
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 11: it treat them and streat them. Hospitals are really good
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 11: at treating them and straighten them versus just keeping them
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 11: a couple of extra days. And you can push back,
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 11: you can appeal the discharge process. We've helped so many
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 11: people appeal the discharge process just to keep their loved
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 11: one in the hospital for a couple more days to
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 11: where they could take him home, versus them just being
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 11: thrown out into a facility that, by the way, struggles
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 11: with staffing. Yeah, just completely.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: And you're dealing with Medicare, Medicaid often in these situations,
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: and they're looking at, believe it or not, trying to
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: save money by doing that early release or quick release turnaround.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 11: But treat them and STREATOM.

• 1:37:10
  Speaker 11: We are grateful for you because if it weren't for you,
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 11: we wouldn't be where we are today. It's been almost
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 11: one year, and it's your listeners who trust you. They
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 11: listen to you because they trust you, and because of
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 11: that they come to us.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't lie to any of them. My approach to
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: this program and everything that I do is they know
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: that you know. I mean, you are thin lying. How
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: do you perpetuate a lie? Come on, why would I
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: steer somebody in the wrong direction.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 11: We've heard that from so many people that have come
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 11: to the office. Is I heard you on the Brian
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 11: Tobis show. I've heard you on the Brian and they
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 11: trust you for everything.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: I truly appreciate the trust and I like to think
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: that I maybe have earned it. You know, I'm not
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: a perfect human being by any stretch of the imagination.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 11: But you're an amazing You're an amazing man.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: I'm not here to have my bad back pat it.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: I'm here to support hard for seniors dot Organ the
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: work that you're doing. You're showing just the positivity that
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: can come from it every single day.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 11: But you care about you care about them.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: I do, and you know what, I'll give props my
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: mom and dad for that. Yes, you know, having lived
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: through it, you see it, you become aware of it,
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: and then you hear about how much worse things can
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: be and are for so many people. And these are
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: honestly like the bandages. You think, well, that's an it's
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: easy solutions. Come on, come up with the bandage. It
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't tear people's skins off. And know that this is
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: not widely available technology that is mind blowing.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 11: To me now, or they can't afford it. We've had
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 11: so many people that have come in and we're just
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 11: like we hand them to them. We're just handing them
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 11: to them. They can't afford them, we're just handing them
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 11: to them.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: Well, if you're looking for something to be thankful for,
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: you have Patty Scott hard for seniors, at least in
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: that particular area. But you don't have to look very
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: far beyond that to see some great things to be
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: thankful for. We live in such a divided time in
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: this world, and everyone's seeking to divide us. No one
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: seems to be able to stop and smile and find
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: something to be thankful for. As we fast approach Thanksgiving,
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: let's all pause and try to do that. It'll change
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: your attitude. You know, I think life can be heaven
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: or hell. You don't know what's coming afterwards. Want to
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: try to make your life heaven right, that's up to you.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: You know you got this, don't know what's coming. But
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: your attitude has a tremendous amount, tremendous amount to say
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: over whether or not you're going to be happy or
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: you're going to be sad. You want to dwell on
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: all the negative. You want to be in a fight
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: with someone all day. You want to walk around like
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: some of the Greta Thunberg, for example, the perpetual frown
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: and anger on your face or do you want to
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: make the most of this life? Just try to find
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: something to smile about. As we fast approach again Christmas
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: as well on the other holidays. I'm sorry a little
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: wax poetic there. I get kind of sentimental patty when
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: it comes to a.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 11: Thanksgiving is lit. You said it's your favorite holiday.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: It's legit, mind, it really is.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 11: And we have so many things to be grateful for,
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 11: and especially the lives that are around us. I mean,
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 11: I thought I was going to lose my mom and
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 11: dad this year and they are thriving at eighty eight
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 11: right now.
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: Isn't that great?
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 11: Thriving?
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: And my mom's doing really weird?
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 11: I know, I love your mom.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: I love your mom still.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 11: By the way, for all the donations, the Cunningham Sisters
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 11: are still going out and singing.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: So they're still doing it.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 11: They're still doing it, folks.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: If you're not to wear the Cunningham Sisters, these these
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: girls are absolutely amazing, and they perform for my mom.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: If you make a donation to Hard for Seniors, they
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: will come to you and perform live, and trust me,
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: you're gonna want to have them do that because someday
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: it's going to be like I remember when the Cunningham
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: Sisters performed for mom or I remember when I was
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: in the room with the Cunningham sisters because they're going
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: to go global. They're so good. Yes, and they're performing
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: at King's Island right now. You say they are.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 11: They're in Winterfest.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't have to take my word for it.
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: Get down out the King's Island, enjoy Winterfest and check
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: out the Cunningham Sisters. Not quite sure when they're playing.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 11: I don't know the times, but they're on the main show.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: Charming, bubbly. They care, they care, they really do.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 11: Yeah, and their mom actually is now doing work for
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 11: Heart for seniors. She's going into homes and just even
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 11: doing like diabetic care and pumps and things that people.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 11: Her name's Tara, And I mean literally we I hate
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 11: to say it, but a UC coach his dad was
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 11: down in Atlanta and he had to pull him up
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 11: here and he called he needed help. We got terror
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 11: ride on a plane. Terror went down with him. They
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 11: transported his father back up here. So, I mean, we're
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 11: all just here to help. We gotta help. It's we
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 11: have to help our seniors.
• 1:41:39

• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: I love her to death. See talkstation. It was sick
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: a fifty five KR See the talk station. Brian Thomas
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: welcoming back to the fifty five Karensee Morning Show and
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: appreciate his willingness to discuss political matters that come on
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: the program to talk about it. Congressman David Taylor, representing
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: the second District care in Ohio and proudly doing so.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: Congressman Taylor, welcome back to the morning show. It's always
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: great having you on the show.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 5: Thanks Brian, thank you for having me. I'm always happy
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 5: to talk to you.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: I am pleased about that. My listeners are pleased to
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: hear from him as well. Now I talk about start
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: off with the epstein and not quite sure much time
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: you want to spend with it. That's fine, but finally
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: we move forward. Everybody says, let's get the Epstein files
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: out there. A weird thing happened with Donald Trump. First
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: he campaigns on releasing them, then he says, no, there's
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: nothing to see here, and then the Democrats get start
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 1: to salivate, thinking maybe there's something in there they want
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: to that he wants to keep from the American public.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but we finally ended up to the
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: point where they're all going to be released subject to
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: DOJ redactions, which we will all anxiously await and probably
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: chuckle over. But I mean, I think a lot of
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: people seem to have lost site of what this is
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: all about. I'm my understanding. For example, the discharged physician
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: petition Congress from Massey wanted from some justice for these
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: women who came forward and demanded accountability by those that
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: molested them, molested them when they were young, before they
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: were adults, like age fourteen, for example. The point was
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: there have been no prosecutions with the exception of Epstein
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: and his you know, Julane Maxwell, where are all the
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, there are a thousand victims out there where
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: I know it wasn't just Epstein molesting them. There's a
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: lot of people out there that were involved and maybe
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: engaged in that conduct. Isn't it important for these women
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: to get some justice for what they went through?
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 10: Oh?
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, Brian. It's like you said, it's not just the
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 5: gravity of the crime and the huge number of victims.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 5: That's also we don't know who the all the perpetrators were,
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 5: you know, some of the few names that have snuck
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 5: out from the British Royalty to others. Obviously there are
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 5: people in positions of considerable influence who may still be
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 5: in positions of consider influence. And the people deserve to
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 5: know that the victims deserve justice, and we deserve to
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 5: know who were governed by. And I appreciate Congressman Matthew's
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 5: efforts to get these documents out. It's vitally important that
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 5: we do it. There are some concerns about, you know,
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 5: the sort of what's within the four corners of the
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 5: discharged petition that results in these releases. There's a security
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 5: of the victims information is a vital concern, the possible
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 5: release of the child sexual abuse materials, right, we have
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 5: to be very careful about those things. But this is
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 5: a you know, transparent first step towards holding perpetrators accountable.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 5: Past four hundred and twenty seven to one. I was
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 5: happy to vote yes on it. What's not been talked
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 5: about a lot is Back on September third, we passed
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 5: the measure to release even more breadth and depth of information,
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 5: including Epstein's state documentation, where you can do some real
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 5: tracking of who he dealt with and when, and that
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 5: passed the House floor, but two hundred and eight Democrats
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 5: voted against that, so that leads to the question of
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 5: what their real motivations are. But I agree with you
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 5: one hundred percent, Brian, that all of this needs to
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 5: come out. And since the Republicans have been in charge,
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 5: tens of thousands of pages of documentation have been released.
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 5: Zero pages came out under the previous administration. So it
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 5: makes it look like political grandstanding on their part, But
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 5: it really doesn't matter, because between you and me and
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 5: the people of the second District, we want to know
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 5: what happened and who did it.
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: Who did it, who is involved in disgusting a criminal conduct,
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 1: and the whole thing that was just seen to become
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 1: more of a who's going to get more shoden Freud
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: out of this has become a political weapon. You have
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: people levying accusations against Trump based upon some random musings
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: in some email between some folks, and that, you know,
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: you could take it out of context, have it in context.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: The way, it looks like every single document release is
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: going to be weaponized, or at least there's going to
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: be in an effort to weaponize it against other politicians,
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: perhaps for political motivations. None of that has anything to
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: do with whether these women are going to get some justice.
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 5: No, I agree, And it's you know, it's sort of
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 5: been political theater somewhat since the Democrats have decided they
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 5: want these documents released. Oh, they have victims in the
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 5: who they be trained the last four years in the
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 5: on the House floor and you know, play to them.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 5: And you know, honestly, I hope when we get to
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 5: the bottom of this horrible, you know, child sex abuse nightmare,
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 5: we we see the Democrats pursue the huge child sex
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 5: flame track trafficking the perpetrated under the previous administration. But
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 5: I'm not too optimistic that that'll happen.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, and following that statement, the big question is, well,
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: why why they seem to be like non political, no
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: brainer types of things. Congressman, I don't know understand the
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: division over something that doesn't even bear a political stripe.
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 1: You know, justice for these women going after child molesters
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 1: and child predators. Does that bear a political stripe.
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 5: I don't think it shouldn't. I mean, as we've as
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 5: we've discussed, it should have been released long ago. It
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 5: should have been that we should have been digging into
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 5: it right away. The way this has been handled from
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 5: back to the the the prosecutions of Epstein and Maxwell themselves,
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 5: it's always been, uh, there's a list of perpetrators, but
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 5: none of them have been dieted. None of them have
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 5: been named publicly except your uh, a British royal no
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 5: one particularly cares about, has no influence on on American politics.
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 5: But yeah, it's it's puzzling. But they managed to caush
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 5: it for the four years that Biden was in office.
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 5: What what makes it sort of a I think they
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 5: pulled it and people want the ste documents, and they said, well,
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 5: we got to jump on something, run the twenty percent
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 5: side of every eighty twenty issue in the country. We
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 5: need to get on the positive side of one. Look,
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 5: I've always been on the side of a full transparen
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 5: business case.
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 1: So yeah, well, and then the public is demanding some
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 1: information or know how in the hell this Epstein guy,
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: coming from basic obscurity could rise to a position where
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: he could be having one point two billion dollars in
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 1: suspicious trading transactions through JP Morgan. How is it that
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 1: he became connected with all these power bloker brokers and
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: these players. I mean, there's a lot of conspiracy theorist
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: listeners out there. I think there's some evil cabal of
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: like eight people that run and make decisions for the
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: entire world. That's not me, but when you see something
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: like this and all of these global players and multi
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 1: millionaire business people all working together and exchanging communications, it
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 1: just feeds that narrative and it causes people to m
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 1: what is going on here?
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 5: Well? No, absolutely, and I'm glad to see that the
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 5: JP Morgan documents are already coming out. As I said,
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 5: we've been the Oversight Committee has been pursuing this. H
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 5: were trying to do it in a very responsible way,
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 5: protecting victims' names, protecting the public from being exposed to
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 5: the term of art is ceesan, but a child's sexual
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 5: abuse materials that you are maybe forced into the public
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 5: domain by this discharge petition but hopefully media outlets are
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 5: responsible when that stuff comes down and does we you know,
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 5: get to presented to the eyes of children. You know,
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 5: no one wants to see that kind of thing release.
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 5: But if that's what's necessary to get to the bottom
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 5: of this case, then hopefully it's done responsibly.
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, part of me, you know, the the
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 1: attorney in the suspects that there has been some measure
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 1: of accountability against these people in the form of settlement
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 1: agreements that have confidentiality clauses in them. Congressman, maybe that's
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 1: why there hasn't been any prosecution, because they've all settled
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 1: out of court. I don't know. Just because you settle
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 1: on a civil from a civil liability perspective, out of
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: court doesn't mean the prosecutor's office or the US Attorney
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: General couldn't still go after them for blesting children.
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Those settlements, I'm sure sure all include
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 5: nbas of varying strength. I'm sure they did all they
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 5: could to try to make it so that their payment
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 5: led to them never being exposed to the light. But
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 5: there's all kinds of ways to pursue those cases, and
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 5: I'm sure the DJI will use every angle they possibly can.
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 5: It's been a very active DJ during the first eleven
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 5: months or so of this Congress. I'm sure they'll turn
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 5: their attention to that. President Trump refers to it as
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 5: a distraction. I think basically what he's referring to is
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 5: he's not involved and it's distracting from his agenda, fully
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 5: focused on trying to get his policies across the line.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 5: I assume what he means is they're trying to prevent
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 5: him from enacting his agenda by using something with in
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 5: which he is really not involved. Yeah, more right, More
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 5: and more people who are were deeply involved in the
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 5: case say that, you know, as soon as he found
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 5: out that Epstein was involved in this kind of activity,
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 5: he not only banned him from his resource, but you know,
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 5: reported to appropriate people that he respected.
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 1: It was going on cut ties with the guy like
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 1: everybody else should have the minute they found out he
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 1: was a child molast year. Congressman. We're going to continue
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 1: with Congressman Dave Taylor. Now, something else that should bear
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: no political stripe should be in the See the Talks
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: Station eight nineteen fifty five KCD Talk Station Brian Thomas
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: with Congressman David Taylor. Let me quote you, Congressman David Taylor,
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 1: along the lines of the shouldn't bear a political stripe quote.
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: It's a no brainer. If you want to drive an
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 1: eighty thousand pound vehicle on America's roads, you should be
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 1: able to read the road signs that. That's an irrefutable statement, sir.
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: But there are people who think that that shouldn't be
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: a requirement. What is the Commercial Motor Vehicle English Proficiency Act,
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 1: which you are a ghostponsor of, sir, Yeah, Brian, this.
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 5: Sort of goes hand in hand with Connor's Law, which
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 5: we talked about just briefly last time I was with you.
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 5: This covers the testing procedure. Currently, the written part of
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 5: the CDL test can be given in any language. The
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 5: driving portion of it is given in English, but the
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 5: very little English proficiency required to pass the driving part anyway. Basically,
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 5: the passing the driving part is no indication that you
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 5: are proficient in English. So this will require you to
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 5: take the test in English before getting a CDL. Whereas
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 5: Connor's Law covers folks already have a CDL, they're driving,
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 5: they get pulled over for this that or the other thing,
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 5: and if they're not proficient in English, then they're taken
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 5: out of service. It's such a common sense law that
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 5: it was the law starting in nineteen thirty seven up
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 5: until the Obama administration. They gutted the teeth of the law.
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 5: That taking you out of service part was taken out
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 5: of the law. So if they pull you over you
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 5: can't read or speak English, they give you a ticket
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 5: and on you go, continuing to endanger everybody on the road.
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 5: So these two things go hand in hand, and I
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 5: expect them to have considerable bipartisan support. But with the
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 5: way we've seen Democrats absolutely go to the mastresses to
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 5: protect illegals and keep them in the United States, I
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 5: don't know, but I'm expecting. This is a very common
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 5: sense law, is the law for most of the last
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 5: hundred years. Hopefully it can be again.
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 1: So commercial drivers license are those the purview of the
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 1: states or is that a federal issue? Because my understanding
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: that the laws regarding the roads and the issuance of
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: licenses commercial or you know, like my own driver's license,
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 1: are a state law. Is this is this through the
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: exercises or the use of the commerce clause, you can
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: reach out there and sort of even the playing field
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: in terms of what's required to get a cd L.
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, states are handing out CDL with their own rules
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 5: to a large extent. But uh, these hopefully both of
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 5: these laws will be rolled into the surface reauthorization law
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 5: what usually call the Highway Bill. Yeah, it's here because
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 5: you you know, as an attorney, you know there's no
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 5: more abused clause of the Constitution than the Commerce clause.
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, don't get me started, commers from Taylor.
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 5: But that's like we can all agree that.
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: No, that's always hesitant to even bring up the topic
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: because I'm arguing in favor of using the commerce clause
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 1: to keep dangerous drivers off the road. And you're right,
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 1: it's the worst one ever.
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 5: Right, But I mean this is pretty clear nexus to uh,
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 5: you know, national commerce when you're hauling big rigs are
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 5: going from LA to New York.
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: Much more so, much more so than growing private wheat
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 1: on your own private property for your own private consumption,
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: which is the genesis of how we went off the
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 1: rails here in the United States from the Wicked versus
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: Philburn case. Sorry to subject around you, all right, So,
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 1: so is this teed up is ready to go? Is
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 1: it ill still in committee? Are we going to see
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: a vote on this one?
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 5: We're hoping that it'll be out of committee soon. The
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 5: Connors Law we've we sponsored quite a while ago, and
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 5: I think it's it's it should be close, honest. So
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 5: we're hoping the reauthorization we'll come through T and I,
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 5: and we're hoping both of these bills are are added
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 5: to that. That's the highway bills what I'm talking about,
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 5: and that sort of for a spring for a final passage.
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 5: So hopefully we'll get marked up maybe before the end
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 5: of the year, if not early part of twenty six,
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 5: and I have that passed in the spring and be
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 5: off and running all right.
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: Other than the fact that a lot of Republicans sponsored this,
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: have you heard an argument articulating against this and saying
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 1: why this is not a good idea? That's kind of
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: the where I'm where I'm especially my curiosity, why isn't
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: this a good idea?
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 5: I'd love to hear it, Brian, No one, No one
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 5: has come to me and said that's dumb. So gives
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 5: me hope that then we'll get some bipartisan support for it.
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 5: And I really do think we will. The trucking groups,
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 5: of the lobbying groups or advocacy groups, whatever you want
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 5: to call them, are all in favor of it. It
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 5: will be. The flip side of the coin is that
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 5: it'll be good for American workers, you know, since COVID,
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 5: the long haul trucker are trucking in general, they're very
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 5: lucrative careers, and I think that's part of why some
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 5: of these companies are in the CDL mills, are putting
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 5: illegals and trucks and paying them less than what they
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 5: have to pay an American work driver. So there's that's
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 5: guide of the coin too.
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 1: No question about it. Well, we'll keep our fingers crossed
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 1: on that. Congressman David Taylor, thank you so much for
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: spending time with my listeners with me today, and I
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 1: want to wish you on behalf of my family and
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 1: my listening audience, that you and your family have a
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: truly wonderful and joyous Thanksgiving holiday, and I'll look forward
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 1: to having you back on the program real soon.
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 5: Sir, same to you and yours, Brian. Have a great day.
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: Thanks my friend. I'll try to do that. It's Friday,
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 1: probably will twenty five. We're going to help some folks
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 1: out MELID talk station, Hey, thirty fifty five kr C
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 1: the talk station and some charity love going on there.
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: We had Patti Scott from Hart for Seniors on the
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 1: program earlier talking about the wonderful services and benefits they
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 1: offer for seniors, you know, those that are getting cared
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 1: for either in the home or in assisted living facilities.
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: And let's pivot on over to those who maybe need
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: a nice hot meal delivered to them in studio. Mike
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 1: Hogan and Natalie Cooking from Meals on Wheels, which you
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 1: can find online at much more than a meal dot org.
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show. Let me initially start by
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: thanking you for what you're doing each and every day,
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: and I know you got some real exciting news to
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 1: pass along to my listeners. It's welcome to the studio.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 1: Thanks Brian, thanks for having us and appreciate you being
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 1: a Westsider. Give me a little bit of loving here
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 1: in the morning. Mike is good have you in even
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 1: though you were a lisalgrad. I'm not gonna hold that
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 1: again ship you see though.
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 7: Right that's well, I was at UC for a long time.
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 7: I'll give a shout out to our daughter Abby, go
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 7: Bearcats tomorrow, go against a big game against BYU.
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 1: Natalie. We can go past your educational background. Are you
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 1: a local girl?
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 8: I grew up in Dayton, so I'm a little bit local.
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 8: But I did marry a Westsider. Wow, out of your element?
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 1: Huh A little bit? Yeah, let me guess he's a frugal,
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 1: financially conservative guy. Sure, there's always an outlier. It was
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 1: in the genetic pull over the west Side. You know,
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 1: frugality rules the day, or at least it did as
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: I was growing up, and it's something I inherited from
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 1: my West Side blood or maybe my parents. But yeah,
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 1: very frugal and conservant when it comes to whether or
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 1: not you're going to spend money. All right, Moving away
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 1: from that talk about meals on wheels? How long has
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: meals on wheels been around? I was looking at the
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 1: statistics of the number of seniors that you help, pretty
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 1: overwhelming number out there, but meals on wheels. Let me
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 1: remind my listeners to the extent that're not familiar with it,
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 1: what you do each and every day, the nature of
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 1: the organizations. Then we'll pivot over to this exciting news
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 1: you've got.
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 7: Sure, thanks Brian. So Meals on Wheels of Southwest Ohio
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 7: and Northern Kentucky has really been operating under that brand
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 7: since about twenty twenty two. In the COVID era, we
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 7: were able to come together with two other nonprofits in town.
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 7: Our history really dates back to nineteen thirty seven as
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 7: Wesley Community Services. During the pandemic, we merged with Cincinnati
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 7: Area Senior Services also known as CASS and fifty five North,
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 7: which was the Hyde Park Senior Center.
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 1: I seem to recall my dad having some connection with Wesley.
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 7: Jerry absolutely was involved with Wesley for many, many years.
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 1: Oh that's wonderful. I'm glad that there's that, you know,
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 1: personal connection. Just different names seem kind of helping out.
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 1: So you home deliver meals. We use it for folks
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 1: that are house bound, you know, shut in types, folks
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 1: without the family and structural support to get fed every day.
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah, sure, so, I think a lot of us, a
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 7: lot of folks know us for our home delivered meal program.
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 7: We serve over ten thousand clients in the Greater Cincinnati
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 7: Northern Kentucky area. About seventy five hundred of those are
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 7: our home delivered Meal clients. Beyond that, we also provide
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 7: nutrition at over twenty congregate sites throughout the city. That's
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 7: anything from the Green Township Senior Center over on the
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 7: west side over to the east side in the Anderson
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 7: Senior Center, and then we have over we have about
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 7: fourteen sites in northern Kentucky that we're at daily providing
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 7: providing meals, lunches, breakfasts. It's folks for a place for
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 7: them to gather. Beyond that, we have a pretty robust
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 7: transportation program.
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 1: You do, yeah, we do.
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 7: We're able to provide about forty thousand individual trips a
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 7: year for grocery stores, doctors' offices, social gatherings, et cetera.
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 7: Just a way to get folks out of the house
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 7: who don't have the ability to maybe drive anymore, or
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 7: looking for kind of that social interaction.
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 1: I had no idea. And these are all services that
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 1: you offer to the senior community at no cost or
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 1: is it a cost associated with it, because of course,
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 1: I mean gasolines, expensive salaries.
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 7: Food costs are a thing.
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 1: The food is outrageous. Let's all uniformally agree. The price
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 1: of food's gone through the roof, and everybody's complaining about it.
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 1: So how does the operation deal with these financially?
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 7: Sure, So all of our services go through the Council
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 7: line Aging of Southwestern Ohio. Any client who wishes to
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 7: take a look at the services that we can provide
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 7: can reach out to them directly.
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 1: They'll work through.
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 7: The intake, they'll get them set up and get them
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 7: connected with us as well, and we can go through,
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 7: you know, just the variety of services that we offer,
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 7: and we provide.
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 1: Wonderful and again that's much more than a meal dot
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 1: org said very slowly, and our tulating the words much
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 1: more than a meal dot or because there if you
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 1: type in meals on wheels in your search engine. There
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 1: are a lot of these organizations that's wonderful and it's
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 1: great that they're everywhere, but if you want the one locally,
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 1: you want to maybe make a gift. I encourage my
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 1: listeners to do that, most notably this time of year
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 1: or volunteer. We'll talk about some of the additional things
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 1: that we as a community can do for them. And
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 1: the announcement about a new well, I'm not even going
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: to reveal anything. It's a little teaser there. We got
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 1: something important things to talk about. We will continue with
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: Mike and Natalie from Meals on Wheels Don't.
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 11: Go Away fifty five KRC Do you own a small business?
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 11: A seismic shift is coming. It's time to get super short.
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 6: Coming KRCD Talk Station.
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 1: A thirty eight coming E thirty nine. If you have
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 1: KCD talk station Meals on Wheels, Mike Cogan and Natalie
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 1: cooking in studio. They're for meals on wheels, find them locally,
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 1: much more than a meal dot org. And I was
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 1: we're talking to them. I was talking to them on
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 1: the break, Mike and Natalie about they do all these
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 1: meal preparations in house, vast majority you are cooking the
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 1: meals in house, and then of course they have folks
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 1: that are volunteering and delivering the meals to those seniors
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 1: out there in the world that need them. We went
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: through a little bit of the betting process on that.
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 1: But you reach over ten thousand seniors you mentioned, but
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 1: the number of meals, which will move over and segue
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 1: into the announcement, you have you outgrew your facility. It
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 1: sounds like by an overwhelming amount. Let my listeners know
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 1: how many meals you prepare annually and what your facility
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 1: was set up to do versus what you actually do.
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we're a little tight on space right now, Brian.
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 7: We're the building that we're in, we've been in for
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 7: a number of years, and we're designed optimally to be
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 7: about three hundred thousand meals a year to produce in house.
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 7: Right now we're producing about one point two million meals.
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 7: So we're at the max for sure. For sure, there's
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 7: that much need and demand out there, there is.
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely, and what you're yeah, well, I think our
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 8: distribution manager said it best. We can't do any more,
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 8: but we can't do any less. We can't do anymore
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 8: because we are really truly at capacity, and we can't
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 8: do any less because the need is there and the
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 8: need is growing.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 1: So you how many total meals on Wheels organizations are
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 1: there out there in the country. It's over five thousand,
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 1: five thousand, And where where does Cincinnati and the much
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 1: more than a Meal dot Org Meals on Wheels chapter
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 1: here in southwest Ohio and northern Kentucky. Where does it
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 1: rank among those five thousand?
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 7: So we're always ranked among the five or six largest
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 7: in the United States.
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 1: That that I mean in this greater Cincinnati area.
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 7: We serve thirteen counties, five counties in Ohio and eight
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 7: in northern Kentucky.
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 1: Is there a reason there's so many that rely on
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 1: meals on wheels here? Is it just the outreach that
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 1: you engage in the awareness because you know, I think Chicago,
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 1: New York. Sure, there's a lot bigger cities out there.
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 7: There are, and you see a lot of cities. I
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 7: was looking, you know at Atlanta and Houston where you know,
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 7: they've gotten larger populations, but they've got multiple organizations in
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 7: those cities that are doing this work. We're kind of
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 7: the leading organization that's that's providing the services that we're
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 7: able to provide.
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, so kind of a monopoly, which in one respect
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 1: is a really good thing, but in another you're at capacity,
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 1: can't help anybody else. So you are over Radcliffe drivers.
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 1: Where you are now?
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 5: Ye?
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep? Where are you moving to?
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 7: So we're heading east, heading off the west side a
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 7: little bit. We last April we publicly launched our Driving
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 7: into the Future campaign, which was a thirty million dollar
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 7: private fundraising campaign for our new facilities. Thanks to the
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 7: amazing generosity of this community, we've raised almost twenty five
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 7: million dollars towards the word.
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're all private dollars.
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 7: Private.
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, I love hearing that.
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 7: It's pretty awesome. We're we're very blessed here in Cincinnati
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 7: to have the philanthropic arm.
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 3: That we have.
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, now it's just individuals or businesses. I mean, obviously
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 1: you are a tax free organization or a taxixamp organization.
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 1: Are you a five H one to three C organization?
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 1: So this is a tax deductible contribution out there. Absolutely
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 1: a strong suggestion, given that we're in the giving time
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 1: of year, there's got to be someone out there in
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 1: the world, some business, some individual that might more than
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 1: be more than happy to donate to this obviously in
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 1: need organization meals on will. So we're going to encourage
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 1: him to do that. The facility, then we'll be able
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 1: to manage the one point two million that you do
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 1: now is it. Can you grow with a new facility
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 1: as well?
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 7: We absolutely can. So we're really excited to be moving
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 7: over to Columbia Township. The old John Nolan Ford from
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 7: any listeners who may have bought a car or two
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 7: from there, has sat empty for a couple of years,
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 7: and we were able to acquire that facility and we're
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 7: going to retrofit it from the ground up into a
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 7: really a state of the art facility that will allow
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 7: us to produce up to three million meals a year.
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 7: But beyond just the meals brand, we're also going to
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 7: have access to community rooms, our volunteer operations, which I
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 7: do want to mention We've got over five thousand volunteers
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 7: a year that come in and really make the organization
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 7: come to life. They will have more resources, more space,
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 7: and more ability to make this thing happen.
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 1: Now I see on your website much more than any
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 1: meal dot or I'm going to mentioned like nineteen more
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 1: times BEFO. We're done here to get folks remembering it.
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 1: You do have a link for volunteering. What types of
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 1: volunteers are you hoping for? What are the ways in
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 1: which people can volunteer and get signed up to volunteer.
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 7: So it's everything from you know, girl Scouts will come
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 7: in and decorate birthday bags. It's one of the highlights
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 7: of our clients to a birthday bag on their birthday
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 7: every year.
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 1: And yeah it is so sweet.
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 7: But they'll you know, help pack snack boxes. In addition
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 7: to the meals, we help to you know, stuff pantries
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 7: every week with kind of just some of the essentials, cookies, crackers,
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 7: juice boxes, fruit cups, things like that. They can also
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 7: come in and pack pet food. I think a lot
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 7: of folks don't know that we have a pretty large
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 7: pet program.
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 3: When we do.
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 1: We do.
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 7: We provide over thirty pounds of pet food per year
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 7: for all of our clients.
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 1: You know, I never would have thought of that, because
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 1: the joy of having a companion when you are a senior,
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 1: it's like one of the best things you can do
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 1: is have a catter a dog in the house to
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 1: give you the love and attention, give you something to
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 1: do as a senior. Never thought about the reality because
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 1: I own a dog, and I know how expensive dog
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 1: food's gotten. Cheese, Louise, it's gotten expensive. Yeah, Sures, and
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 1: you nailed it. I mean, it's really it's about being
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 1: able to bride for the senior. But we recognized how
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 1: important that companionship is for their quality of life. Yeah,
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 1: so to be able to help.
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 7: Them maintain that, maintain it in their home and promote
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 7: that independent living, it's really important for us.
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 1: Now, what about the drivers, So all of our drivers.
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 7: Our staff we're staff of about one hundred and forty
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 7: and all of our drivers are staff drivers. They are
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 7: not volunteers. And that's important to us because it allows
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 7: us to maintain continuity with our seniors. Our seniors really
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 7: develop a strong relationship with their drivers. They know who's
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 7: going to be there, when they're going to get there,
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 7: and in many ways, our drivers become an extension of
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 7: their family.
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 1: I'm sure. And then there's also the idea of that
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 1: being your employees. You do background checks, you make sure
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 1: that they're up to snuff on their ability to drive
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 1: and don't have a commercial driver's license from state California. Sorry,
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 1: I had to say that. Don't do not hold Mike
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 1: and Natalie responsible for the editorial comments from Brian Thomas
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 1: related to politics. As we talk about this important organization.
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 1: Meals on wheels, We'll do one more, say much more
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 1: than a meal.
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 6: Dot them talkstation.
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 1: Perfect timing Judge Tracker K forty nine fifty five KRC
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 1: the talk station.
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 2: Joey SA.
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 1: Meals on wheels, making it a wonderful world. I always
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 1: say we Joey sings that song on a Friday. There's
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 1: always something out there to look at and see It
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 1: is a wonderful world. And I am sitting in front
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 1: of two people, Mike Cogan and Natalie cooking from meals
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 1: on wheels, who are approving that helping out ten thousand
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 1: seniors cooking one point three million meals annually and in
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 1: a new space that allow them to expand to three
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 1: million meals annually. We're talking about volunteer work. You're talking
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 1: about your drivers that are on staff and off air.
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 1: You know, well, you mentioned the pet food. What other
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 1: service you offer and help seniors get the pet food?
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking really out of the box, somethinking meals
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 1: on wheels. They deliver a meal and they wheel away.
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 1: Because these drivers are regularly in a constant presence in
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 1: these seniors' lives, they get to know them. As I
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 1: found out over the break, quite often they become a
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 1: temporary plumber or a can you fix this? Why you're here?
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 1: Kind of thing. So they are in the best possible position,
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 1: like a teacher looking out at the students each and
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 1: every day, they're in the best possible position to observe
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 1: whether or not something's going awry in that senior's world.
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 1: And I understand that you partner with the Social Protective Services,
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 1: so you can alert them if there's anything going on,
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 1: or you can investigate it.
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 8: Yeah, So our drivers are all trained to spot something amiss,
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 8: whether that is perhaps a utility that isn't working, or
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 8: if the if our client is looks injured or looks ill,
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 8: or looks a little bit different, or maybe something is off,
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 8: they're able to report that back to our team.
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 11: We're able to escalate it.
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 8: So again what Mike was saying about the continuity between
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 8: our drivers and our clients, we really deliver a wellness
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 8: check whenever we drop off food.
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 1: Great well, since Patty Scott was on earlier, I think
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 1: you are ideally suited to maybe partner up with Heart
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 1: for Seniors and keep some of those amazing bandages in
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 1: those drivers cars. They could drop a box off any
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 1: of the seniors that have any wounds or anything like that.
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 1: These co peel on and off without tearing the skin,
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 1: without doing any wound. I mean, it's just they're wonderful.
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 1: So here I am trying to merge you two together
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 1: to continue to help the seniors out in the community.
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 1: You also off We were joking about this on the
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 1: break because my mom struggles with technology. How I even
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 1: struggle with technology and Mike you had mentioned you also
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 1: offer seniors financial or not only financial education, but help
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 1: with technological advancement. Sure.
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, our digital literacy program. We're really able to put
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 7: technology into their hands and then teach them how to
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 7: use it. I think often, you know, through the pandemic,
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 7: we learned how important things like FaceTime were to help
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 7: keep in touch. But you know, it's also important to know,
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 7: you know, when you leave a doctor's appointment, how to
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 7: log back into your my chart accountant. Understand you do
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 7: that when you find out, you let me know, So
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 7: I think just to be able to give them all
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 7: the resources that they have. Our protective services program, we've
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 7: got a team of licensed social workers that help with
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 7: over two hundred cases a year that help manage that.
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 1: So that's really great, No wonder you're so wildly successful
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 1: in the area. So anything else my listeners need to
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 1: know about, because I'm doing everything I can to get
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 1: them to adopt this your organization and again make a
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 1: contribution at much more than a meal dot org.
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 7: Sure, thanks, Brian. Yeah, so really we are unable to
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 7: do what we do without the support from the community
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 7: and right now in the season of giving it as
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 7: we approach the end of the year. You know, any
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 7: contributions and gifts to our organization make a tremendous impact.
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 7: One of my favorite things that I get to do
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 7: is when I walk through the office and I see,
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 7: you know, a box that's being delivered to a senior,
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 7: and I see the name on that box. That's one person.
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 7: That's one human whose life we're going to make better
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 7: that day by being there for them. So any support
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 7: to your support, the community support, We're tremendously grateful for it.
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm grateful the fact that I know now more
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 1: about your organization. I really had a tremendous amount of
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 1: respect before you came in on what you're doing delivering
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 1: these meals, But now that I know everything else you do,
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 1: the Thomas Household will be making a financial contribution this
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 1: morning to your organization. I am already at the donation page.
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 1: You've made it very easy to make a donation, so
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 1: I assure you this morning you'll have a few more
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars in your pocket to help this help the
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 1: seniors and do the work that you're doing. I wish
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 1: all the look to the new facility. When do you
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 1: think the new facility will be open? Obviously you've got
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 1: a little bit of work to do getting the kitchen
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 1: up and run.
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we got to put some fresh pain on the walls.
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 7: But we'll hope to be in by the end, by
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 7: the end of twenty twenty six, and then there'll be
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 7: a transition period from a production standpoint, but by twenty
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 7: seven we should be up in.
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 1: So you'll still be crowded up until the end of
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 1: the next calendar year a little bit, all right, But
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 1: I wish you all the luck in the world getting
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 1: that accomplished, and want to thank you on behalf of
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 1: all my listeners for what you have been doing for
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 1: so many years. And I'm glad my dad had a
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 1: connection with the prior Wesley or group that owned you
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 1: or that that provided these services, and kind of gives
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 1: me a warm feeling of my heart when I think
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 1: about my dad and how much I miss them. So
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that you're there. Thank you again one more time.
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 1: Did you guys get the website already? Did you pay
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 1: attention much more than a meal dot org?
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 1: You know it? Get over there, help them out. It's
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 1: been a pleasure having you in feel great about this
