• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the eighteen minute gap and all of that. And it
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: wasn't too long. In fact, just a little over two
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: weeks later. Nixon would resign from office for whatever role
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: he played in the Watergate break, and it was more
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: the cover up. A year later, inn Apollo spacecraft completed
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: a mission, including the first docking with the Soviet Soyuz capsule.

• 5:52
  Speaker 2: for Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. Carl Malone, an
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: NBA Hall of Famer who again would have rings but
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: for MJ. Barry Bonds, who would, in most people's minds,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: hold the home run record because he's got seven hundred
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: and sixty two career round trippers were it not for
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the juicing scandal. Kadeem Hardison is sixty one. Kristin Chenowith

  Speaker 2: Rose Byrne is forty seven today. Elizabeth Moss turns forty
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: four and a pack one forty four. And here's here's
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: one that kind of sparked my Bendy Irwin crocodile Hunter,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Steve Irwin's little girl, Bendy Irwin, all grown up now
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: at the age of twenty eight. If it is your birthday,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I hope and pray and trust that it will be
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the best day ever and you get to spend it
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: with people you love and doing the things that you
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: love to do. Hopefully you have people that you love
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: and love you in your life, no matter what relationship
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: that is, and hopefully you love to do things. Had
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: a discussion with a good friend of mine who is
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: rather sedentary, and said, man, you got to move, You
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: got to get up and do things. You've got to
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: be active in life. You can't just sit there and
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: waste away, and some people do that. So if I
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: had one overwriting message today, it would be just that,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: if you are physically capable, get up today and do something,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: even if it hurts a little bit, even if you
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: don't know what to do, get up and move, take
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: a walk. It's going to be another beautiful day, and
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: be active. Enjoy life while we have it. I know
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: this is not the end all be all, this life
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: we're living. There's something far more better on the other side.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: But let's not rush to get there by just sitting
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: down waiting to die capeche or completely ignore me and
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: continue to sprout roots wherever you are and wait for
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the inevitable. Just sounds like a miserable way to finish,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: doesn't it. Coming up on five point fourteen Gary Jeff
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Philosopher on this Friday morning, and there's plenty to cover,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: including more follow up from the purchases of almost an
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: entire city block in the city of Newport, Kentucky by
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the City of Newport. Some thoughts on that, and they
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: admit now the city admits share along admits there's no
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: simple solution for the flooding that occurred last week and
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: earlier this week. Because of the failure of the Duck
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Creek floodgate, and they're still trying to figure out where
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: their rear end is with both hands a flashlight in
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: a full length mirror. So nothing's changed. A breaking back
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: on fifty five KRC the talk station. Have you heard
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: the news? Secretary Rubio on Iran jep with you at
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: five eighteen. So Kroger, good old hometown kroger Cincinnati's grocery
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: store to the world, is now going global in a
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: bigger way. They announced that they're developing a global capability
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: center in India.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: Too.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, I mean it's an Indian call center basically, and
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: not really a call center, but you get the idea.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: It's outsourcing of jobs. As many as fifty seven hundred
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: positions could be affected. They haven't haven't announced definite cuts though,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: but with any big corporation, in an effort to cost
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: save usually some heads got a roll. Thousands of US
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: jobs could be affected, some right here in Cincinnati area.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: The figure the fifty seven hundred number is described as
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: speculative and not yet finalized by the grocery giant. Kroger's
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: recently gone some under some leadership changes. Greg Fan became
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: the CEO in February with the international retail experience from Walmart. Good.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: That's all we need is more Wally World influence in
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: our society. The Global Capability Center, so called focused on outsourcing.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Kroger's also eyeing India's retail market as an opportunity. I
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: did not know. I guess well, I mean there's billions,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: It's a huge market the country of India. Will it
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: be fresh for everyone there? Oh? Who knows you?
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: No?
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: My only beef with Kroger. My only beef with Kroger
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: as a grocery chain and their corporate dictates inside the stores.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: And I could have probably plenty if I was nitpicking
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: because Kroger is so ubiquitous. I mean, well, you're going
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: to Kroger. They don't say grocery store. Be interesting to
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: see if Publix makes any inroads at all and into
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: the market. But going to Kroger, Yeah, I gotta go
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: to Kroger. And I shop primarily at the closest location
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: is the Newport Pavilion, one of the busiest Kroger stores
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: in the country, not just in Cincinnati. And I have
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: a problem with the U scan, the self checkout lanes.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: You can't turn the darn sound down while you're checking
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: out your groceries, and unless some kind person who's in
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: charge of the self checkout lines has reduced the volume
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: and they don't listen to them when they say I
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: can't turn it down, Yeah you can, you turn it up.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Used to be you could mute the thing entirely so
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: you didn't have to have someone yelling at you every
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: item to put your item in the bag. I guess
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: it's supposed to be some fail safe to stop shoplifting.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute, I didn't hear anything when that item
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: came out of your basket. Whatever, it's stupid, but they
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: will not and this is apparently a Kroger corporate dictate Kroger,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: if you're listening to me, and I'm gonna stay on
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: this because I've run out of things to be outraged about.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: This is Gary Jeff's first world problem at the self checkout.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Will you please bring back the option for the customer
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: of being able to turn the annoying robotic woman's voice
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: down when we're checking out. I'm going to put the
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: item in the bag. I'm gonna scan everything, believe me,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: check my fuel points, I spend enough money in your stores.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I'm not stealing anything. I shouldn't be punished because someone
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: else is. You don't need to have again this automated
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: woman's voice yelling at me with every item I scan,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: and then telling me at the end, after I've already
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: paid to make sure I take my groceries, I'm going
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: to take them. I pay for them, please. I mean
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: when you go to a checkout line, and so what
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: I've started doing since this particular Kroger is they're sticklers
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: for keeping the volume up on the self checkout just
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: dries me nuts. I'll be sitting there scanning things, saving
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: some time going to the self checkout line instead of
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: a human operated checkout line. But I love their cashiers.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: They're good people anyway, and I'll be I'll be there
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: and I'll be yelling at it to shut up, because
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: the regular cashier doesn't when she's scanning my groceries, doesn't
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: announce what everything was as she puts it on the
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: conveyor belt on the way to Gary Jeff's house. And
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: I understand now why a lot of people I used
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: to make fun of Pep Blue ordered their groceries and
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: picked them up or had them delivered as just being lazy,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: But now I know why. It's not that they don't
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: want to compete just with other people for parking spaces,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: or they don't want to compete with zombies in the
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: aisles of the store when you have a mission and
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: you have items that you definitely want to pick up
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: without being stuck behind someone who found a long lost
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: friend and wants to reminisce for twenty minutes in the
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: middle of an aisle. No, I understand now, it's because
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: of all the other bs you got to put up with,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: like this self checkout lady yelling at you with every
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: item you scan at top volume. It's more than annoying.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: As you can tell, this bothers me greatly. It's off
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: my chest and I'll feel better until the next time
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: I have to go to and forced to go to
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: the self checkout because I'm in a hurry, I get
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: yelled at by the robot. Coming up on five twenty
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: six at fifty five krs, the talk station in this
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: edition of the is our first victim of the morning. Yes,
• 17:15

• 17:31
  Speaker 2: And here we go five one, three, seven, four, nine
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: fifty five hundred the number to get in touch. Tom.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Good morning. How are you today, sir?
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: Well, I am just so glad that you are dealing
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: with some very very important topics. And I mean, these
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: are world these are world issues.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: No, no, no no, I admitted Tom at the top.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: This is Gary Jeff's first world problem. And you did it.
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: And it's pretty funny because everybody deals with everybody understands that,
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: especially God. And I was telling Jail, I said, I
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: think you may have something to do with a woman
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: telling you what to do. She doesn't say please, is
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: like place item in the back, right place scale Listen
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: that woman bananas.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Listen. This is the reason, this is the reason, this
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: is the reason I could never vote for Hillary Clinton.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to vote for any woman who's screaming
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: at me.
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: That's true, that's true. And that's that was the heck
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: of a birthday list. There's three or four names on there.
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: That man an airplane. Wow, what a what a movie, right?
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: I mean that surely that's one of the best comedies ever.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Remember when remember when the the airline attendant who apparently
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: he had had a relationship with, is talking about their
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: last encounter on the beach. It's just classic classic comedy.
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: The drink, the drinking problem.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: The woman, the old lady is on the plane.
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: Barbara Billingsley, Barbara Billingsley speaking jive. That was Bieber's mom.
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: Barbara Billingsley is speaking jive to the black guys on
• 19:13
  Speaker 8: the flight.
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: That's that's that's a great movie. So yeah, anybody who
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: doesn't know what we're talking about. Airplane with an exclamation
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: point at the end of it is the name of
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: the movie. Please go, Please go watch it, and please
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: do us all a favor at don't vote Democrat.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Have a great weekend, all right, Tom, you two. Leslie
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Nielsen lying to people about how how they're they're gonna
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: be safe and there's no problem with the airplane, and
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: his nose keeps growing with every lie he tells. Just
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Joe at some point this morning, I think it's FCC compliant.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: You've gotta find a clip of Barbara Billingsley speaking jive
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: to the brothers on the flight. I don't think it's
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's too offensive. I think it'll be
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: just fine. Oh god, yeah, then there's now what is
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: his name? The actor's name, Joey. Have you ever seen
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: a grown man naked? You ever been to a Turkish prison? Joey?
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: You like movies about gladiators? Oh goodness, gracious, so the
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Duck Creek floodgate they've now determined, Peter Graves, thank you.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: The Duck Creek floodgate did fail to close a week
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: ago during that storm that overwhelmed Duck Creek and caused
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: it to flood all the nearby areas, according to city
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: manager share Al Long, Well, we knew that. It took
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: a week's investigation, I guess for them to determine this.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Long set officials have identified the floodgate did not close
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: because of a mechanical malfunction. It's currently unable to close
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: automatically as the creek rises and can only be closed manually. Well,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: we need a Duck Creek floodgate attendant, don't we yelling
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: at the water like a Kroger's self checkout said chains
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: were added to the system's arms because they've begun improperly
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: lowering and blocking traffic, and apparently the chains were added
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: to keep the arms up had no impact on the
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: larger mechanical issue impacting the gate. Public Works gets involved,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: the director, Jason Fleming said. The floodgate, built by the
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: corp of Engineer back in two thousand and eight turned
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: over to the city to maintain in twenty twelve, has
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: been regularly inspected, but issues with it are known going
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: back to twenty twenty. A study of the floodgate led
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: to the recommendation the bridge be fully replaced, which we
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: covered yesterday. And you've maybe heard about in the news,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: something the city was not able to do, just like
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: they're not able to keep people from getting beat downs
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: after the Cincinnati Music Festival. There's a lot of things
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: that a city can't do. There's things like this that
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: a city the size of Cincinnati should be able to do.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: But the money tree's empty because they've got the wrong priorities.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: In my opinion and in a lot of other people's opinion.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Long for her part, and what a prize Cheryl. Do
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: you realize, if you're a resident of Cincinnati, how lucky
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: you are to have such a competent city manager as
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Cheryl Long guiding the city into the future. You are
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: so fortunate she is a gem. She said the floodgate
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: only impacted the area specifically around Duck Creek and the
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Madison Road bridge, and she estimated it was around forty
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: homes and businesses and the city has already begun reaching
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: out to them to assess their damage. And the flooding
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: may have been less severe if the floodgate had not failed,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: if it actually worked, it wasn't a tremendous amount of rain.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: But Cheryl Cheryl Long, she is at least as competent
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: when it comes to dealing with natural disasters and emergencies
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: as Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass. They're both just top notch,
• 24:15

  Speaker 2: and Friday Tech Talk coming up at a round six
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: thirty uh seven thirty this morning. My friend Scott Powell,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: who is an incredible writer and a very thought provoking columnist,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: has something out to now. It was in town Hall,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I believe eve yesterday, and I'll find that for you
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: because we're going to talk about it extensively about legally
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: sanctioned sedition in this country and what's been going on
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: normalizing sedition is what he calls it. And as we
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: continue through the morning, law enforcement expert Michael Lett's Democrats socialist.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Of course, I want to eliminate the police completely. They've
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: already handcuffed and handicapped them. Now they want to eliminate them.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Oh jeez. And also a special guest at eight thirty
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: will tell you about in a few moments. Right now,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: another caller on the line, that is Jay. I expect Jay.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: First off, Bernie Marino's evil. Let's get that out of
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: the way, Jay, and you can give me the rest
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: of whatever you had to say. I mean, I just
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: every time you call, I expect that. I don't know
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: why why the hardcore campaign against the senator. You've got
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: your reasons, and you explained them fairly well and all
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: of that. But let's just get that out of the
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: way and let's get to something else that you haven't
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: on your docket today. How about that.
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: I'll tell you what.
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: Let's make this about you, not about me.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right?
• 27:17
  Speaker 12: You you said something that I think you planted some
• 27:22
  Speaker 12: seeds without meaning to do so with with without carefully
• 27:27
  Speaker 12: choosing your words.
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: You said duck.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Creek Gate attendee. And I think what you just did
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: is you just defined Irish Rowley's sons next six figure
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: job of the taxpayers of Cincinnati. So now you want
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: to pick on me for what I say.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: No, I was just I was just pointing it out.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: I was just pointed out, go ahead, go ahead. Continued that, you.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Know, Bernie Marino decided to team up with Elizabeth Warren.
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: That was his choice.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Not right, right, right?
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: You You just cost.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: The taxpayers a Cincinnati probably about one point seven million
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: over two years with Irish Rawley.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Hey, Jay, Jay, if if the city of Cincinnati listened
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: to me, you'd be in a lot better shape as
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: a citizen of the sin. But they don't listen to me.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Believe me, I.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Would agree with him, all right, Hey, don't vote Democrat,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: like my brother Tom says, and I have a good.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Brid I would. I would concur with that as well. Jay.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: But you know that's the one trick pony thing about
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: beating down Bernie Marino because he teamed up with Elizabeth
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Warren on one thing. And I think Jay may be right,
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: but still, ah uh. I'll go with the don't vote Democrat,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: which I've been saying for a long long time, but
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: even more so now than ever before. Man, there's got
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: to be more enthusiasm among the people who are not
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: going to vote Democrat. That's the whole key, because there's
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: all this, as they say, energy and enthusiasm, especially on
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: young and we found out it's over educated, over indoctrinated
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: younger college grads who, as a president rightly called losers
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: who haven't accomplished anything for all of their high falutint
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: education or indoctrination. What we know is in doctrination the
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: propaganda being pushed on college campuses that has been for
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: the last forty to fifty years. Let's face it, this
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: is not a new occurrence, but this is the culmination
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: of the encroachment of communism and socialism that has become
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: academi in this country. It's one of the major tenets
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: of people like Salowinsky and the rules for radicals and
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: communists in general. Nikita Khrushchev, who was in our History
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: notes this morning, not the only one who said it,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: but famously they're banging his shoe on the podium and
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: say we will take over, We will take you over
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: without firing a shot. And they're in the middle of
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: doing it right now. So yeah, don't vote Democrat whatever
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: you do. And no matter how odorous you think the
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Republican candidate is or is not a good candidate, well,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: he just doesn't do anything for me. Well, he's probably
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: not going to do anything to you either. The Kamis
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: and the Democrats definitely will, and they're planning to. They're
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: ready to take your country away, and the polling shows
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: that a lot of Americans are on board with that.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: That's scary, Scarier than the robotic voice at the Kroger
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: self checkout line five forty seven fifty five krs the
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: talk station Get He Goes. I'm Marion Gainer for the
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: talk station Good Morning, tell you it's five point fifty
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: one GJ. Dubbs in for Brian Thomas. Brian back on Monday.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: I appreciate Joe Strucker's stack of stupid supply, and he
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: gave me a good little stack this morning. But there
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: seemingly has been a continuum, a thread of Joe's stories
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: that he gives me that are kind of offbeat and
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: people doing weird, obnoxious, rude, and oft times illegal things.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: But I've noticed that the last few times I've worked, uh,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: there have been a plethora of stories about naked people.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Yesterday it was a naked woman driving a car with
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: guns and drugs, and there was there were all kinds
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: of naked stories, got a couple. Joe seems to be really,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know, obsessed with nudity, and I don't know
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: if this is an intervention. Joe will answer the phone
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: if you call five one, three seven nine fifty five
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: hundred and asked Joe what he's wearing this morning, and
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm in another part of the studio. We
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: do have cameras, but thankfully they're not on, just in
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: case Joe decides to get naked at some point this morning.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: And he says, the feeling's mutual, which is good. We
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: don't need to see each other naked. That's not the
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: point here. This isn't the weird little cesspool that you
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: think it is, or may think it is. But here's
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: another one of Joe's naked stories that he gave me
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: from Sedgwick County, Colorado, and this one's kind of fun,
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I mean as naked stories, I mean as fun as
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: a naked story can be. A guy who was from
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Arizona was rested in Colorado after allegedly breaking into a
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: locomotive a train and riding top, riding on top of
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: the moving train and flashing unsuspected onlookers while blasting the
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: horn is blasting the horn a euphanism for something else
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: because he was naked. Daniel Ray Ballance of court sight,
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: taken into custoy by the Cedric County Sheriff's Office following
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: a bizarre sequence of events along the Union Pacific Railroad line.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Authority said Balance boarded the train by smashing one of
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: the windows to gain entry before climbing onto the roof.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Deputies were alerted to the situation after multiple witnesses reported
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: seeing a completely nuwe man surfing on top of the
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: moving train. While riding the locomotive through the county, Balance
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: reportedly blew the train's horn to attract attention and exposed
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: himself to residence watching the high speed spectacle. Following his arrest,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: deputies noted that Balance openly expressed his fondness for vod
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: kabir and playing the banjo. Well, who doesn't have a
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: fondness for any of those things. Booked into a local
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: jail on a combination of felony and missus demeanor charges
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: related to the train break in in public exposure, he
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: remains in custody awaiting his initial court appearance. Mind you
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: with no vodka, beer, or Banjo's available, Al real quickly,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: do you have a comment on I know you're into trains.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Do you have the comment on trains or nudity? Nudity?
• 35:24
  Speaker 13: You know that from a long time ago, if you
• 35:29
  Speaker 13: remember John Phillips and mad Dog and it's an urban legend,
• 35:32
  Speaker 13: but I'm here to tell you it's true. I was
• 35:34
  Speaker 13: up at the Hellaport at the time when John and
• 35:36
  Speaker 13: mad Dog land over landed over the nudist company.
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: And yeah, just Road did not play that, gave a
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: volleyball with him.
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: That's that's a pretty good one.
• 35:48
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: I just think that people who are in nudist colonies
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: are people that should never be naked in public.
• 35:53
  Speaker 13: Well, I agree with you one, But to go to that,
• 35:58
  Speaker 13: I always say you have to.
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: Take the bitter sweet.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: I don't have to take any of it at all. Al,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: But thanks a lot for your contribution. It's five point
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: fifty six of Breaking Back on fifty five KRC the
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: talk station. At the top of the hour see the
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: talk station. Goodbye Stranger, Hello friend Gary. Jeff Walker in
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: for Brian Thomas on this Friday morning, July twenty fourth,
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. This is an old story, but it's
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: an update on a feel good story. There aren't many
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: of those, are there, not in the news or on
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: social media. It's all naked guys breaking into trains and
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: blowing their horns in Colorado. Right. You know this name,
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: probably because she's from around here. Peyton Obert, who when
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: she was six did what a lot of kids do
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: or used to do. In the driveway of her home
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: in the Cincinnati area. Peyton was six years old and
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: she started her own lemonade stand. Cute kid, huh. Parents
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: expected maybe a couple of quarters or a little loose change,
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: but it turned out to be something much larger. Today
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: is a six figure income money raiser. She cherished a
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Teddy Bear that Children's hospital had gifted her during her
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: stay when she was two. She'd recovered from the medical problems.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: At age six, still grateful for her constant companion, Teddy,
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: she decided to set up a lemonade stand so other
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: kids could get a toy like she did at the time.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: She's fourteen. Now Peyton overed is fourteen. It's been eight years.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: I expected to get ten or fifteen dollars. She raked
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: in seven hundred and sixty eight bucks. She said it
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: was unreal. Her mother said, honest to God, I thought
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: people were going to show up with their quarters and
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: give us fifty cents for a cup. But they were
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: dropping twenties, fifties, and hundreds in the jar because of
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Peyton's just charitable reason for setting up the lemonade stand
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: to raise money for Teddy Bears for other kids at
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Children's hospital. She's seen that generosity. It really just restores
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: your faith in humanity. Peyton's mom just said again. They
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: used the proceeds from that seven hundred and eighty six
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: bucks or seven hundred and sixty eight bucks to buy
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: a car lot of toys and delivered them to Children's
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Hospital on the way home. Young Peyton, this is again
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: a six year old girl said, can't wait to do
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: it again next year. And her mother thought, this is
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: really meaningful. I'm really glad she had this idea. But
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: she said, I never imagine Peyton's lemonade stand would become
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: what it is today, and what it is today is amazing.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: They started this in twenty eighteen, again, eight years ago.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Peyton was six. The next year, her second stand twenty nineteen,
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: raised seven thousand dollars after getting on the local news
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: despite COVID nineteen and all of the lockdowns and all
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: of the fear mongering that went on. In twenty twenty,
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: the movement expanded to eight other locations and generated thirty
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: five thousand dollars. Peyton Obert has franchises at the age
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: of ten for her lemonade stand to raise money for
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: children's hospital, and in the six years since, dozens of
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: volunteers in Peyton's Pals have been running annual lemonade stands
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: across several states. It's not just limited to hear guys
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: several states, and now the organization pursues a mission that
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: goes beyond handing out toys. It grew into a nonprofit
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: dedicated to sweetening the lives of kids facing medical, personal,
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: and economic hardships. To this point in twenty twenty six,
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: eight years later, they've raised more than five million dollars
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: in monetary and kind donations. According to Since He Serves.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: Since he Serves named Peyton among its eleven honorees this year.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: Peyton's entire family, mom, dad, and sister are all in
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Her sister, Presley was three when all this started. Now
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: she's eleven, and she holds the title's sweetest assistant and says,
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: and I'm like really proud of my sister. You can
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: tell she's eleven because she says like in the middle
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: of a sentence. According to since he serves, Peyton inspires
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: thousands of kids and adults to host their own lemonade
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: stands every July, and the organization benefits more than forty
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: local groups that distributed funds, toys, clothes, coats, food, and more.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: One hundred and ten sites. A record one hundred and
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: ten sites around the country signed up for the ninth
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: annual Payton's Lemonades. Kids, parents, grandparents, businesses, fire departments, nursing
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: home residents and other community groups. A good deal of
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: them are here in Cincinnati with free cups elimonade, accepting
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: donations from ten am to one pm tomorrow. This is
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: happening tomorrow. Look for the Payton's Lemonade stands tomorrow from
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: ten to one Some states far away as New Mexico
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: are doing this across all the locations. Last year, they
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: raised more than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: those three hours. What will go on tomorrow over the
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: last several years has raised six figures in each of
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: those years. How cool. This Peyton's Lemonade stand also holds
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: other year round events, a lemon giving tree at Christmas
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: time to a Swinging for Sweetness golf outing in the spring.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Total revenue last year exceeded one million dollars, including eight
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars in non monetary contributions. When the report says,
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: none of this impact would be possible without the generosity
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: of our donors, obviously, sponsors, volunteers, community partners. Your belief
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: in our mission fuels every program, every smile, every child
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: we can serve. So look for a Peyton's Limonade stand tomorrow.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: They'll be set up all over town. I don't have
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: the locations in front of me, but maybe in your
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: neighborhood ten in the morning tomorrow until one tomorrow afternoon.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Only in America could this happen because we are continually
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: one of the most generous countries in the world, if
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: not the most generous, friendly, welcoming. That's what all the
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: World Cup visitors found out when they came here for
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: this year's get together in soccer's biggest event. And to
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: have the freedom of doing this instead of the state
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: lording over everything and the over regulated state which people
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: are still trying to turn America into. This wouldn't be
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: possible in that state. Taxes are not charity. But this
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: is God bless Peyton Obert and her effort, her idea
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: that sprung from one little lemonade stand in a little
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: girl's driveway to all over the country and six figures
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: in donations racked up over five million dollars so far.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: It's amazing. Coming up on six fifteen, Gary Jeffin for
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: Brian Thomas this morning on fifty five KRC, the talk
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: station our iHeart Radio Music Festival, fifty five KRS the
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: talk station, Thank you, in nineteen minutes past the hour.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: Day've had her on the way in a few minutes
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: this morning. Nineteen seventy nine, the Iranian Revolution when they
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: overthrew the Shah and the Islamic radicals led by the
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: Ayatola took over the US embassy and took fifty two
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: American hostages, many of them in captivity for four hundred
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: and forty four days before they were finally liberated at
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan's inauguration in nineteen eighty one. I was eighteen
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: years old and while they weren't drafting kids anymore. I
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: had to register for selective service, which of course it did,
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: and I was full scale ready for US as a country.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: The original bomb Bomb Bomb, Bombbomb Ran song was being
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: played on the radio, and I felt like we should be.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: They took over our embassy that had sovereign US soil
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: by international law. They took American citizens hostage because they
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: were caught in the middle of whatever crisis that country
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: was going through. They tortured them. That means war in
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: almost every other scenario in our nation's history, but it
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: didn't mean war during the Carter administrations. But I was
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: ready to go. You know, I have no want to
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: go and fight and die for anything at the age
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: of eighteen, but I was ready to go. But instead
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: we him and Haud pussy footed around. Reagan was tougher,
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: but still there was too much reliance on Iranian oil
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: and oil in the Middle East to have that disrupted.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: A few years later, we'd have our marines bombed and
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: killed in the Beyrout barracks by Islamic radicals tied to Iran,
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: and we still really did nothing on the scale of
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: Operation Epic Fury. We're getting ready to do that again.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: And it's high time. I'm not a military strategist, never
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: was in the military. I'm just an American citizen. And
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: President Trump has my full endorsement to go full throttle
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: on these people. Yeah they're human beings, and yes, civilians
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: should not be in the way of our bombs in
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: our campaign, which is about to intensify. Well passed what
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: we did early on in this war in Operation Epic Fury.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: But it's time for it all to stop, and we
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: have the power to stop it if we really show
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: the will to do it militarily with the best military
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: in the world. We keep hearing that over and over
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: and over again. It's time to use it, and not
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: just for little tit for tats when they fire a
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: missile or a drone and kill our soldiers in Jordan
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: like they did at the base in Jordan. At that
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: point I would have completely ended negotiations, and they pretty
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: much have. But it is it is time to go
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: to the wall and just pound them, not out of vengeance,
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: but out of a righteous justice, and not for oil's
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: sake or the price of gas, but just because it
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: is forty seven years overdue. You can't let them think
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: and you can't let them continue continually propagandas that they're
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: in charge, or that they're closing this or that, or
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: that they hold the upper hand, because they don't if
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: we don't let them not in favor of war. And
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: I don't want this to be prolonged. President Trump promised
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: us no more forever wars, no more endless wars. He
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: didn't say no more war, he said no more endless wars.
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: Let's make a deal if we can. But right is right,
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: and this is a fight not only US and Israel
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: against Iran. This is the world again an evil death
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: cult that has ruled a country and held us at
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: bay for way too long. It's time to are Are
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: we an exceptional nation? I think yes. I think we
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: still are. Do we need to go ahead and prove
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: it now decisively? Absolutely should be over and we have
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: the power to do it. Let's get her done. Six
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: twenty five at fifty five KRC, the talk station.
• 51:45
  Speaker 6: Your summer starts at the Cincinnati Open from August Talk Station.
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: It's a Friday, twenty nine minutes past the hour, six
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: twenty nine Eastern, that is, And Gary jeff In for
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: Brian Thomas this morning on this July twenty fourth, closing
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: out on July, and time for some Friday tech talk
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: with the Wizard. Let's pay attention to the man behind
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: the curtain, shall we? The aluminum foil or tenfoil hat
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: is firmly in place, and Doomsday Dave had her is
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: ready to go. Good morning, Dave, Good morning Gary, Jeff.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: How are you. I'm doing fine, doing fine, feeling frisky, good,
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: Happy Friday to you. This is something that this first
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: story about mortgage fraud is something that is becoming more
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: and more prominent. And it happened to this couple in
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: southern California who almost almost lost hundreds of thousands of
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: dollars as they were trying to make a down payment
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: on their home. But they noticed something in an email
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: from their supposed mortgage broker they'd been working with, and
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: it made them suspicious. And this is something that we
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: all can take a page from and something you've warned
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: about before. We've talked about before. Misspelled words misspelled, I
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: mean commonly known words for something like a mortgage broker
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: like escrow. If they're misspelled, that should be a red
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: flag to anyone who's dealing with them. Correct, you are correct.
• 53:37
  Speaker 14: And I'm really glad you brought this story up because
• 53:39
  Speaker 14: it really illustrates three different things that I try to
• 53:42
  Speaker 14: talk about all the time that really bring in my
• 53:46
  Speaker 14: mind a very clear focus on why A these kinds
• 53:51
  Speaker 14: of frauds are successful, and B if you are unaware
• 53:55
  Speaker 14: and or not vigilant, you will potentially become a victim
• 54:00
  Speaker 14: of this. So I want to start with how this
• 54:03
  Speaker 14: likely happened and then get to the misspelling you mentioned,
• 54:06
  Speaker 14: because there's several things at play here and how this
• 54:09
  Speaker 14: went down. I suspect because they don't really tell you
• 54:13
  Speaker 14: in the stories I've seen anyway about the mortgage broker
• 54:16
  Speaker 14: side of it. So if I'm buying or selling a
• 54:19
  Speaker 14: house in this case, I'm the buyer in this story, right,
• 54:23
  Speaker 14: Eventually I'm going to have to transfer money to someone else.
• 54:27
  Speaker 14: And now a lot of this has become electronic. So
• 54:30
  Speaker 14: if I'm the mortgage broker, or if I'm the buyer,
• 54:33
  Speaker 14: and let's say you're the mortgage broker, Gary Jeff, to
• 54:35
  Speaker 14: keep this simple, if bad guys can get into your
• 54:38
  Speaker 14: email account, you and I as the buyer and you
• 54:41
  Speaker 14: as the broker, have been emailing each other back and forth.
• 54:44
  Speaker 14: I recognize your email address. I know you. This is
• 54:48
  Speaker 14: not an unsolicited email. We have transacted before. That's the
• 54:51
  Speaker 14: point I'm trying to make you send me instructions on
• 54:55
  Speaker 14: how to send the money. Right, It's all legitimate up
• 54:58
  Speaker 14: to that point. If bad actors are in your email account.
• 55:02
  Speaker 14: And this is why account takeover and an account takeover
• 55:05
  Speaker 14: of an email account is so important. Account takeover is
• 55:09
  Speaker 14: nerds speak for bad guys are able to get into
• 55:11
  Speaker 14: your accounts okay, because people will tell me all the time, well,
• 55:15
  Speaker 14: I got nothing to hide it, I don't care if
• 55:16
  Speaker 14: you get my email account. Well, here's the reason why
• 55:18
  Speaker 14: you don't want me in your email account. There are many,
• 55:21
  Speaker 14: but this is one. Bad guy gets into your email
• 55:24
  Speaker 14: account and is now in there impersonating you. But the
• 55:28
  Speaker 14: difference between spoofing your email and impersonation in this case
• 55:33
  Speaker 14: is he is in your actual email so he sees
• 55:36
  Speaker 14: this interaction between you as the broker and me as
• 55:40
  Speaker 14: the buyer, and at the last minute he sends a
• 55:43
  Speaker 14: new email, which is what happened in this case. A
• 55:45
  Speaker 14: new email went out. How it happened, I don't know.
• 55:47
  Speaker 14: I'm speculating on the basis of this, but as a
• 55:51
  Speaker 14: business We see this with our clients all the time.
• 55:54
  Speaker 14: Bad guy at the last minute sends a new email,
• 55:57
  Speaker 14: and that new email has changed the payment instrums. And
• 56:01
  Speaker 14: in this case did what you suggested, which is the
• 56:05
  Speaker 14: word escro has been changed. You called it a misspelling.
• 56:09
  Speaker 14: I would not call it a misspelling, Jeff, because I'm
• 56:12
  Speaker 14: a nerd. I would call it a specific manipulation so
• 56:17
  Speaker 14: that it looks to the naked eye like the right word,
• 56:20
  Speaker 14: except it's been changed in a way that is subtly
• 56:24
  Speaker 14: overlooked by the humans, but the computer knows. In this case,
• 56:28
  Speaker 14: they replaced the W and escro, the lowercase W and
• 56:32
  Speaker 14: escuro with two lowercase vs.
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: Right, and it looks it looks like somebody spelled the W. Weird. Yes, yeah, And.
• 56:41
  Speaker 14: That's the gist of it, right, If you're not playing
• 56:44
  Speaker 14: close attention, the two lowercase vs side by side look
• 56:48
  Speaker 14: more or less like a W that just happens to
• 56:50
  Speaker 14: be a little funky. Another common trick is lowercase R
• 56:55
  Speaker 14: and lowercase N, like Nancy Romeo, Nancy or November to
• 56:59
  Speaker 14: get because it looks like Mike or m. It looks
• 57:03
  Speaker 14: like a lowercase M. This is done all the time,
• 57:06
  Speaker 14: but in this recent example, and giant kudos to the
• 57:10
  Speaker 14: people who told this story, because you know, you and
• 57:13
  Speaker 14: I talk about this all the time. I'm out there
• 57:15
  Speaker 14: doing presentations and talking about this in.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: The media or whatever.
• 57:19
  Speaker 14: It's much more believable coming from a victim than it
• 57:22
  Speaker 14: is listening to me saying well, this could happen and
• 57:24
  Speaker 14: that could happen. So I have enormous respect for people
• 57:26
  Speaker 14: who go public with these stories so that people realize
• 57:30
  Speaker 14: it's not just some nerd like me making stuff up
• 57:33
  Speaker 14: or trying to sell you something. This is happening every day,
• 57:36
  Speaker 14: and again it illustrates a Y. Yes, you do need
• 57:40
  Speaker 14: to care about your accounts being taken over because they
• 57:42
  Speaker 14: can be used to perpetrate fraud as you and b
• 57:47
  Speaker 14: you need to be a aware that these kind of scams
• 57:51
  Speaker 14: are common. They're everywhere in most cases, Gary Jeff, what
• 57:56
  Speaker 14: we see as a business and intrust is not It's
• 57:59
  Speaker 14: not super sophisticated technical wizardry that's causing people to lose
• 58:03
  Speaker 14: their money. It's scam artists leveraging technology to get to you,
• 58:08
  Speaker 14: knowing you don't know about these things and or aren't
• 58:10
  Speaker 14: paying close enough attention, so there will be out of
• 58:13
  Speaker 14: time I just want to make one last point. If
• 58:15
  Speaker 14: you are doing anything financial and at the last minute,
• 58:19
  Speaker 14: even if you're dealing with someone you've been dealing with before,
• 58:22
  Speaker 14: because their account could be compromised if the instructions change
• 58:26
  Speaker 14: in any way, you should stop, pick up the phone
• 58:30
  Speaker 14: call that person on a known trusted number before you
• 58:35
  Speaker 14: do anything else, because you may fall victim to the
• 58:38
  Speaker 14: kind of thing we just described here.
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: Yeh, and I like you emphasized on a known trusted
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: number because the fraudsters spoof numbers all the time too.
• 58:49
  Speaker 14: They do, Yes, they do. And in the show notes
• 58:52
  Speaker 14: from today, I will post this article and you can
• 58:55
  Speaker 14: see screenshots of this thing. So again, awareness vigilance absolutely
• 59:02
  Speaker 14: key to avoiding many of these sorts of scams that
• 59:05
  Speaker 14: are out there.
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: More reasons to haitien It's Friday Tech Talk with Dave
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: Patter from Interest It trying to figure out what the
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: flock is going on. He also happens to be the
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: mayor of Fort Wright, Kentucky, which he does reluctantly. But anyway,
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: I digress flock cameras. You've heard about them, you may
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: have heard us talk about them, but here is another
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: angle to why we should resist these flock cameras that
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: are popping up even little towns all over the country,
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: but not in Fort Wright. And it looks like there's
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: backlash from the Newport City Commission on these in Newport, Kentucky,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: but other police departments around the country have used them
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: at least hundreds of times to search for specific people.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: You think about flock cameras and you think that they're
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: just license readers on cars. Well, this is a this
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: is a traffic thing. I'm not breaking any laws. Why
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: do I care if they're recording my license plate? Well,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: they're not just recording your license plate. They're using searches
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: like heavy set and mail with a black and white hat,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: person on a skate board, person wearing orange vest and
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: construction hat, and they can very easily and have very
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: easily misidentified people who were just going about their business
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: and not breaking any laws, and that person wound up
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: in the crosshairs of a local police department. Plus of
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: all the other privacy invasion issues that come along with
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: these things. Dave, if you can expound on this a
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: little bit please, and the dangers they're in.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 14: Yeah, so, Gary, Jeff, as you know, I'm not a
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 14: fan of the so called Internet of Things aka smart devices,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 14: door bells, thermostats, all that sort of stuff. And the
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 14: connection here is, you know, this is just another form
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 14: of that. You know, as technology has progressed, both the
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 14: ability to create ever smaller computing devices and less expensive
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 14: computing devices with more power, as well as the ability
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 14: to get connected to a network, in this case the Internet.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 14: You know, now you have five G. It's pretty ubiquitous.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: In other word, if you.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 14: Don't know what five G is, folks, you know, just
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 14: think sell your network. So you have, you know, devices
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 14: now that are in the old school, in the old days.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 14: You know, your toaster did not connect to the internet.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 14: Your washing machine did not connect to the internet. It
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 14: wasn't smart work.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: Your toilet did not connect to the internet.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 14: And you were better off for it. In my opinion,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 14: we could go down a rabbit hole here, and I
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 14: found a funny meme about this yesterday, but before we
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 14: run out of time. So you know, Flock and Flock.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 14: While Flock has gotten all of the press, there are
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 14: other companies that are making these devices. Ax On is one.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 14: They're big in the body camera space. So you know,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 14: in my mind, the debate is really should be more
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 14: than Flock. It's it's automatic license plate recognition or really
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 14: smart cameras, right, if you want to go all the
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 14: way out, because originally this was pitched. And you know,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 14: license plate readers have been around for a long time.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 14: Most cop cars have had them forever. But there's a
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 14: fundamental difference between how a third party private company like
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 14: a Flock or others works then if you have some
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 14: government owned thing, right, and that's one of my issues
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 14: with it. This is a third part already company who
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 14: knows what the terms of service say, and I don't know,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 14: Gary Jeff, because yes, you are correct, we do not
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 14: have these in fort right. But it's it can do
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 14: more than just reach your license plate. It's capturing information,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 14: it's storing it in a database. There are numerous examples.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 14: I post this stuff on my social media all the time.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 14: You can follow me if you want to see the
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 14: kind of stuff I'm posting and sharing about these topics
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 14: we're talking about every day. Because yes, I'm not a
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 14: fan of this, but it's not just Flock. If I'm
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 14: a fan, I'm not a fan of the surveillance state
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 14: we're building thanks to all of this technology and the
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 14: fact that who knows where this data goes, who knows
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 14: who has access to it? They say they only storing
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 14: it for thirty days. You know, who knows who else
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 14: has used and how it's being used. The same concerns
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 14: I have with so many of these Internet of Things
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 14: devices and the companies behind them. But the backlash has
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 14: started to grow on this. There are numerous members of
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 14: Congress now talking about this, talking about passing bills. I've
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 14: found an article from Futurism saying that at least fifty
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 14: three cities have recently ended their contracts. There are numerous cases.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 14: You mentioned the stalking angle. I know there are numerous
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 14: police officers who have been fired for using these things
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 14: incorrectly stalking people. The recent ruling from the Supreme Court
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 14: about GEO fancying and warrants is interesting. I think I
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 14: hope Gary Jeff that people are waking up to this.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 14: Now here's the headline. Tim Burchett wants to limit video surveillance.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 14: This is something I've been following. I'm not the Google
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 14: smart glasses, the Meta smart glasses. I understand the argument
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 14: for this. I'm absolutely pro police. I think if you
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 14: looked at our budget, you would see we've added headcount
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 14: in the police department. I'm absolutely anti crime, but I'm
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 14: also a of the Benjamin Franklin take on this. He
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 14: who gives up this liberty for security deserves neither. I
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 14: don't want to live in a dystopian or Wellian surveillance state.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 14: That's the thing for me. And again, I would have
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 14: less concerns about this. If some police department bought this,
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 14: had total control over it. It wasn't going to third parties,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 14: it wasn't a private company doing who knows what would
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 14: this stuff? And I'm not saying I would be for
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 14: it necessarily, but I would be a lot less concerned
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 14: about that than the model that we have now. Again, Gary, Jeff,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 14: how many times have you and I discussed some tech
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 14: company that's been breached or has done something nefarious with
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 14: your data twenty three and meters for example, with your
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 14: DNA data and the lawsuits around that, and well we're
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 14: going to go brankrupts and now we're going to sell
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 14: your DNA. Hey, folks, you can't get new DNA. You
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 14: can't get new DNA once it's out there. So again
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 14: there's all kinds of misuse of this. There are many
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 14: well documented stories that I've shared, people being pulled over
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 14: because the license plate reader read their plate wrong and
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 14: suddenly they're surrounded by police. So I don't want to
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 14: live in the Norwegian surveillance state. That's the bottom line
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 14: for me. I'm absolutely against this type of technology, not
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 14: necessarily this company. Again, could it be built in a way,
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 14: could it be used in a way where I might
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 14: be persuaded, maybe, but under the current model, totally against it.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 14: And I'm glad to see that people seem to be
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 14: waking up and realizing we are not headed in the
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 14: right direction around this technology. And one last thing before
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 14: a round of time, I just found a story this week.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 14: You and I have talked about this before. All these
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 14: so called smart cameras, they're getting hacked by our adversaries.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 14: These could be hacked and used against us. Should a
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 14: friendly nation like and I'm being facetious, the Chinese Communist
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 14: Party decide tomorrow is the day that they want to
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 14: take Taiwan, and they want to cause chaos, and they
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 14: want to turn off the power, etc.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 5: Etc.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: Etc. So you know it all started, Dave, It all
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: started going downhill when they secretly reverse engineered alien technology.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 7: There you go.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: We will talk a little bit about smart glasses before
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: we're done. On this Friday tech Talk with Dave Hatter
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: at six forty eight now at fifty five krs the
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: talk station.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 5: Ever wonder why you're sneezing and coughing in your own
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 5: see the talk.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: Station as we continue to trip fantastic through the Internet
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: of Things world on a Friday morning with Dave Hatter
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: Tech Talk. Story from the BBC, the British Broadcasting Company,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: reporting on the case of a woman in the UK
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: who claims she was filmed via a man's smart glasses
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: without her knowledge, by the way, and then black blackmailed
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: with a humiliating video of herself. Says she was just
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: walking in a London shopping center approached by a guy
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: wearing smart glasses. She said, in the moment, I thought it, okay,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: this guy is just trying to talk to me, to
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: chat me up. I was hoping he would lay me
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: alone eventually, but he did actually follow me. And the
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: rest is the stuff of you know, privacy invasion nightmares.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 14: Dave, Yeah, Gary, Jeff smart glasses. So we're now in
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 14: what I would describe is face two of this and
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 14: also let me say one last thing about the flock
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 14: slash and license plate reading cameras slash surveillance tech. You know,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 14: there's a lot of good smart people out there that
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 14: have lots of credible arguments for why this will be
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 14: beneficial for society. You know, fine missing children, and this
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 14: ties into the smart classes too catch criminals. You know,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 14: I get all of that, and those arguments are legitimate
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 14: to a point. But again, the way the technology has
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 14: been implemented gives me a great pause, especially in light
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 14: of all of the hacking and breaches that we have
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 14: seen over and over over again. And I didn't should
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 14: have mentioned this last segment. This past week, I had
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 14: the privilege of sitting in on a FBI presentation. So
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 14: there's a public private partnership with the FBI called Infraguard.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 14: Cincinnati has an active chapter. One of my colleagues that
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 14: in trust as the president of it. And one of
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 14: the benefits is you occasionally get to sit down and
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 14: hear from the FBI about what's going on in critical
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 14: infrastructure and so forth. You and I've also talked about
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 14: many times, and it was quite alarming when they shared
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 14: things about what they know about the Chinese Communist Party
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 14: and what they're doing that aren't as well known to
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 14: the public. You know, some of it recently unclassified. Some
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 14: of it I knew pretty alarming. So and again, if
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 14: the enemies of the United States can hack these devices
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 14: like Ukraine had hacked by Russia, they can be used
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 14: for targeting all kinds of things. So the smart glassest
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 14: thing to me is just another extension of this. The
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 14: technology has now and small enough that you can put
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 14: a computer in the frame of glasses. You have powerful
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 14: batteries that can run these things forever. You have connections
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 14: to the Internet through five ge aka to cellular network,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 14: and now you can literally walk around with a computer
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 14: on your face. That in and of itself, well not
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 14: really a problem. As a person who has worn glasses
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 14: for a long time. Uh, you know, I could potentially
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 14: see the benefit of that. However, like almost everything you
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 14: and I talk about regularly, Gary, Jeff, it cuts both ways, right.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 14: You can also put a camera in that in those frames,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 14: you can put a microphone in those frames, and now
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 14: literally you can be a walking surveillance device for unsuspecting
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 14: people like this woman who are just out trying to
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 14: trying to live their lives, go to the grocery, whatever
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 14: it is they're trying to do, and suddenly they're being
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 14: surveilled by someone else. Now theoretically, and there are different manufacturers.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 14: It's not just Meta. You know, Google tried this a
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 14: few years ago, wasn't very successful. That's why I call
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 14: it Phase two. Meta is now the big player in
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 14: this space. There are others. They have a deal with
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 14: ray Band. In fact, there's a great meme out there now.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 14: I guess one of the Genners is somehow promoting this thing,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 14: and someone made a great meme. It shows her with
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 14: these glasses and then a picture. If you've never seen
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 14: the great movie from nineteen eighty eight with one of
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 14: the greatest rastlers of all time, Rowdy Roddy Piper, They
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 14: Live John Carpenter, Absolutely fantastic movie. They use that where
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 14: he finds these glasses and when he looks to him,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 14: he sees all these aliens and all these hidden subliminal messages.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 5: They Live.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 14: Great movie, Highly recommend it. They basically make a playoff
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 14: of that with these glasses. Anyhow, the glasses typically are
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 14: supposed to have a light that shows you they are recording. Well,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 14: what if I paint over the light. What if I
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 14: put a sticker over the light on the frames of
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 14: the glasses? Does the average person even realize this is
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 14: a thing? Much less if I want to surreptitiously record people,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 14: If I want to do weird, creepy, pervy sort of
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 14: things like go in the bathroom and record people, if
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 14: the light is covered, how would you know that's happening.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 14: So again, I understand why people might want to have
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 14: these things. I understand the technology has progressed to the
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 14: point where this is a possibility, But just because you
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 14: can do something doesn't mean you should. And I think,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 14: like in this unfortunate woman's case, you're only going to
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 14: see more and more of these. You know, do you
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 14: want to send your kids in a public bathroom with
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 14: someone in there that's got these glasses on and is
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 14: potentially recording them? My answer is a hard note. So
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 14: I don't know how this can be stopped. I don't
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 14: know what the answer is, But like so much of
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 14: this Gary Jeff awareness, people need to be aware. These
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 14: are real. They're out there, and now they're not cheap
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 14: at this point, and I don't think they're selling all
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 14: that well. And Joe has already told me I can't
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 14: use a certain word to describe the people with these.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 15: Classes, But last week he's such a prude urge to
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 15: say it, right, Dave, I'm.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: Sorry we are out of time now, but I think
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: people can get a pretty good idea of the word
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: you're thinking of. But anyway, until next time, Dave had
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: her intrust it, and you're all over the place, right Dave.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm easy to find. I'm sharing this kind of
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 14: stuff all the time, following me on LinkedIn, x Facebook.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 14: I'm constantly trying to help folks be aware of what's
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 14: happened out there and protect themselves to the extent they.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: Can't thank you so much. Oh yeah, this is moving music.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: This is one of my favorite highway songs. I'm telling
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: you what a nice, warm, sunny summer day rolling down
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: the Inner State about seventy seventy five miles an hour,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: the windows rolled down, maybe the top down, blowing through
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: your hair, and the Almond Brothers Jessica cranked up. You
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: speed may be harder control. Once this baby kicks in
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: six minutes after the hour into the seven o'clock hour
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: on this Friday morning, Gary Jeff Walker in for Brian
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: Thomas and the much ballyhood story this week around northern
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: Kentucky is something that's actually now, gosh, almost a month old,
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: the closing of some businesses on Mama Street and Newport
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: permanent closing, the sale of those said businesses and some
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: other parcels of real estate in the six hundred block
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: of Mama Street, kind of the main drag in what
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: formerly was Sin City. The city of Newport, as we
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: were talking about yesterday, had willing buyers, I mean willing
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: sellers of the Brass Ass, the Brass Bowl, and Huddle's Bar,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: along with some of the other proper he's there on
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: the block, and the city was a willing buyer. Three
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: point eight million is what they shelled out for these parcels.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: It's a pretty good chunk of change, but compared with
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: what the city will probably get to it, get through it,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: or get because of it eventually, they're counting on that
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: return to be considerably more than three point eight million.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: Believe me, and fine. Good investments are good investments for
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: a city, any city, but especially the city size of Newport.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: If the taxpayers and voters get a good return and
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: the city commission aren't the only ones who realize a return.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: My issue has always been not that the brass ass
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: in the Brass Bowl were businesses I particularly cared for.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: I worked for the owners, the family that owned these
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: businesses at Huddle's Cafe Bar and worked there for sixteen
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: and a half years, and frankly, I was ready to
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: get out. Talked to Peter Bronson about this yesterday, you know,
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: and actually prayed that I would find something else to do.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: And I have God's good good to me. But what
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: I have seen in related other businesses that weren't adult
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: or so called gentlemen's clubs or CD dive bars, what
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: I have seen recently, and it seems to me I
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: could be completely wrong on this, but it seems like
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: those powers that be in Newport are not necessarily fond
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: of small business owners or mom and pop business owners,
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: unless you know, maybe they've got some friends who want
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: to start businesses. And again, I'm not against the city
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: buying them or these places being closed down. There was
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: an effort for years to close these places down by
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: the city of Newport. It goes back a long way,
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: and even Ken Recton, who is a city commissioner in Newport,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: said many concerned folks in our community, going back to
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: the committee of five hundred wanting to get the city
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: cleaned up. I mean that goes back quite a long ways.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: Brass As has been an operation or was an operation
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: from nineteen seventy until June twenty seventh, the last day
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: of business, and the Mayor Tom Cadooley Junior said, this
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: is about opening the door to new possibilities, opportunities that
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: are more consistent with the future that we are building
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: a newport together, a future that embraces families of future,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: that supports responsible development of future, that creates spaces where
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: people want to live, work, visit and raise their children.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: All good, all fine, But are the beneficiaries going to
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: be large corporate investment firms, large private investment firms? Ultimately,
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: is it more of the corporatization of small town America
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: and the edging out of small business owners. All business
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: still drives the engine for most of American business. Even
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: with Kroger's and the Walmarts and all of the big
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: corporate entities, whether they restaurant groups or hotel groups or
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: housing groups, well, they have increasingly added to their share
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: and control of business in small towns. Meanwhile, the mom
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: and pops feel squeezed. I'm overregulated to death, hounded by
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: city regulations, not just county or state, but city regulations
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: for a specific purpose, i e. To force them to
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: close their doors or to sell. And I find that distasteful,
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: to be honest with you, If that's what's going on here.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: If it's not, somebody tell me. If it's about selling
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: these businesses for whatever reason, for revenue enhancement to the city,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: cofers or whatever. And if the city does realize a
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: large profit from the sale of parcels like the one
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: that just was purchased, if they're going to realize ultimately
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: a large profit, shouldn't that the taxpayers, the property owners
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: of Newport, the homeowners realize an advantage, maybe a cut
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: in their city taxes. You know, infrastructure running a city
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: is not cheap. And Newport has run the city pretty well.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: There was a surplus of funds, which doesn't happen a lot.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: Check out Cincinnati. Huh right, But the city's been run
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: pretty well I think up to this point. But to
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: the taxpayers, the people who are funding things like the
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: three point eight million dollar purchase of properties on Mama Street,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: because that's where the money comes from. Right, government is
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: for of by the people, which means the money comes
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: from the people from things like homeowner's property taxes, business
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: property taxes, and the city realizes a bonanza from that.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: Are those people who are actually funding it, the taxpayers,
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: going to get a break. Are they going to realize
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: a benefit to their own benefit? That's my question, and
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: we'll have to wait and see on that, I guess,
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: but it just seems like it. It seems like And
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: this is not a personal thing because I have other jobs.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: I found other jobs. I'm a known quantity, and not
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: not just on the radio, but after sixteen years serving
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: people as a bartender, I have some coin myself. I've
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: worked with the City of Newport, an Italian fest I
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: did for years and years and years. They hired me
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: as their MC for the grand opening ceremonies, and I
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: hope they do again next year. But I just want
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: to see what happens. And I'm very curious to find
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: out what has done with those properties, because don't we
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: all there's a lot of coffee shops in Newport. You
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: all need a Starbucks in our hometown, not necessarily, but
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: whatever fits the community best, and the city officials found
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: a willing seller in the owners of those properties on
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: Mama Street, and they had the money to do it.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: And those businesses simply didn't fit the vision for Newport's
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: future in their eyes. So God bless them, godspeed, good luck,
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: and I just want to see what replaces those businesses.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: It'll be interesting anyway. Sixteen minutes past the hour at
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: fifty five krc DE talk station being.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 5: Prepared is everything but preplaiming our own final arrangement.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: So fraud in the focus of almost everyone these days,
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: and being exposed all over the country to the tune
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: of billions upon billions upon billions of dollars, whether it's Medicare,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: whether it is leering centers, and whether it's Somali's or
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: anyone else who are heavily involved in taking your money
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: and making it their money under the auspices of a
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: fraudulent scheme. Well, there's more coming out every day. And
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: this from Justthnews dot com and Politics and Finance. The
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: Project on Government Oversight downloaded and analyzed data from USA
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: Spending dot gov that that nonprofit group says in report
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: released earlier this week shows over seventy four percent over
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: seventy four percent in domestic grant spending from fiscal twenty
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: twenty four couldn't be tracked to the local level seventy
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: four percent of domestic grant spending. Knowing that adds up
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: to seven hundred and twelve point six billion dollars, seven
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: hundred and twelve point six billion dollars of the nine
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty eight point six billion in grant money,
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: seven hundred and twelve six seven hundred and twelve point
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: six billion dollars couldn't be tracked, where did it go?
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: The current President Trump administration confirmed that the lack of
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: accountability shown in the reports findings is why new rules
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: have been proposed for federal grant making, and they are
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: companion with those in the Office of Management and Budget.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: Officials at the Treasury said while they couldn't conform or
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: confirm the report's specific statistics, Scott Bessent, the Treasury Secretary
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: continues making efforts to crank out on similar fraud. They
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: pointed to this past Tuesday safeguard implementation to stop payments
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: to deceased individual They're paying dead people. You see that
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: report earlier this week and the initiatives back in January
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: to combat Somali fraud in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which had run
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: rampant as we all now know. A senior policy analyst
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: Sean Moulton, who authored the report said analysis like his
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: group did is key to government accountability and that the
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: capacity to track such funds and their final mile is
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: essential to making sure those who actually need to help
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: most get served. And this is a great point. This
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 2: is obvious. If you can follow the money down to
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: the local level, you get a better chance of making
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: sure it's going to communities that needed where it's supposed
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: to go. And according to this Just the News report,
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: the reality is if you just know how much money
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: is going to your state capital or something like that,
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: you don't know where it's going after that. And that's
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: what USA spending dot gov is supposed to be about,
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: giving people a window into federal spending. You can actually
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: go to USA spending dot gov to track the data yourself.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: This latest review covers reported award data from the sixty
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 2: largest domestic focus federal assistance programs, which amounts to about
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: ninety two point three percent of total federal assistants spending
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: for fiscal twenty twenty four, ninety two point three percent
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: of everything that went out in federal assistance. It also
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: evaluates the detail to which program coordinators report on sub
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: awards and physical or geographic location where the work services
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 2: were carried out, key to data compliance, reporting and public transparency.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: This is the most this is the most crazy number
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: here in this in this report, just zero point two percent,
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: zero point two percent of MEDICAIDS six hundred and fourteen
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: billion dollar distributed federal funds could be tracked to the
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: local level zero point two percent of six hundred and
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: fourteen billion, as well as zero point one percent of
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: the nineteen point four billion spent through the Children's Health
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: Insurance Program CHIP, just one point eight percent of the
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: federal Transit Formula grants eight point two bill and zero
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: point five percent of the State of Good Repair grants
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: programs four point six billion dollars. So all this billion
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: and billions and billions of dollars of federal grants that
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: are going to supposedly help people, do they know where
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: it actually went? Less in every case I just mentioned,
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 2: less than two percent they can track to the local level.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: Is that transparency? Is that accountability? It's your money. It's
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: my money. Shouldn't we know where it's going? We don't.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: That's got a change, especially if you're talking about preserving
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: programs like Medicaid and Medicare. Oh, and then there's Social Security,
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: all the dead people getting benefits. Scott Powell, one of
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: America's great thinkers and writers, will be joining us after
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: the break at seven twenty six at fifty five KRC,
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: the Talk Station.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 9: I can love to start three years eight from fifty
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 9: five KRC, the Talk Station.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 2: I saw this piece in town Hall yesterday and it
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: reminded me to give, as he described it, one of
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: my best, one of my top five business friends, in
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: that we've done these transactions of me booking him on
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: my radio shows, and he has enlightened my audiences, which
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 2: is with his observations. His name is Scott Powell. He
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 2: wrote an incredible book called Rediscovering America, which talks about
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: the importance of in many cases, American holidays and how
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: they are essential to preserving the republic that the founders
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: envisioned and created and that God gifted us with. And
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: he's in the middle of a new book which I'm
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: sure we will discuss in our time. This morning. First
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: and foremost, let's say hi, Scott Powell, good morning. How
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: are you, sir?
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm very well, Gary, Jeff, And it's great to
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 4: be with you in your audience.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great to have you. This piece in town
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: Hall that caught my eye. The title of it is
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 2: how did America get to the threshold of normalizing sedition?
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: And you use a couple of examples of people coming
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: from socialist or communist enclaves to America and sounding the
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 2: alarm in this piece. One was a defector from the
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: KGB and the old Soviet Union, and another someone who
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: came from communist China who defected, who's been on a
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 2: crusade to warn Americans about the parallels between what is
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: happening in our country today and what Mao did in
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 2: the Chinese Cultural Revolution. And I got to tell you, Scott,
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: when I listened to some of these so called democrats
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: socialists of America talk about their plan and their vision
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: and their platform, it reminds one very distinctly of Chairman Mao.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: So go ahead, Well, that's I.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 4: I think that you're not the only one that recognizes
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 4: that these people that have embraced what they call democratic
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 4: socialism are really embracing communism and should we call these
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 4: people communism? So what is communism? And that's important for
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 4: Americans to understand. We take our freedom for granted. Uh,
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 4: the communist type society really deprives the individual of their freedom.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 4: The state determines everything, you know, it can it can
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 4: determine your employment, it can determine you just don't have choices.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 4: You have a you have a state that wants to
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 4: control everything. This is why they call cononlege type of
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 4: societies totalitarian government where everything, the totality of life is
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 4: controlled by the government. I don't know very many Americans
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 4: that really would embrace that. So these people that are
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 4: purporting to be democratic socialists by a nice term, are
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 4: really embracing a system that would totally transform America. It
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 4: would deprive all of us of the rights that we
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 4: have really taken for granted. You know, America. What is
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 4: unique about America in all of human history? And this
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 4: is the year to really understand that because this is
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 4: the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence?
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 4: So what was so unique in all of world history
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 4: about declaration Independent? Well, it's actually not compli CAD. Prior
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 4: to the Declaration of Independence, every culture, every country, every
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 4: society around the world, for all of human history was
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 4: structured around the governing authorities giving the rights to the people.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 4: In other words, the rights were determined by the governing elite,
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 4: the aristocracy. You know, there's different terms for leaders in
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 4: different countries in their shots. And there were you know,
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 4: there there were there were kings, there were aristocracies, but
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 4: the government determined the rights of the people. When the
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 4: Declaration of Independence articulated that rights came from God and
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 4: that these were natural rights. These were rights that were unalienable.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 4: Unalienable means that they can be taken away from people.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 2: And that and that the government would guarantee that those
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 2: rights were preserved.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 4: That's right, that and and that is the other unique
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 4: part of the declaration and the Constitution more the constitution
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 4: really because the Constitution really formalized the ideas that were
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 4: in the Declaration, and so it was that the primary
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 4: role of government was to protect the unalienable rights of
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 4: the people. And they started with freedom. The First Amendment,
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 4: of course, talks about freedom of speech, freedom of the press,
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 4: freedom of religion, freedom of association. In other words, you
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 4: can gather with people, you can even protest. You are
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 4: free to protest. Protesting you know a policy that you
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 4: don't like that you know the government is trying to impose,
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 4: you have the right to protest these This didn't exist
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 4: before the Declaration of Independence, and so America really brought
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 4: about it was an amazing event. And even though America
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 4: embraced this and and it and it did have influence
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 4: across the ocean, particularly uh to Europe. But it's interesting
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 4: to note that up until World War the most populous
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 4: part of the country, that is Asia, that would include China,
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 4: that would include India. Uh, they never experienced the freedom
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 4: they They were unfree societies right up through World War
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 4: two their entire history. And of course, with the victory
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 4: in World War II, India was given its freedom from
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 4: Great Britain. Japan was of course freed by America. And
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 4: you know, the one of the more interesting little snippets
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 4: out of Rediscovering America as the story of how MacArthur
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 4: how his uh, you know, you would call it that
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 4: America was occupying pan as that was transitioning from its
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 4: old system to you know, to a new system. Because
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 4: the Japanese system really led to World War Two.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you tell you what, Scott. Let's let's
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: take a break here. I've got to take a quick
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 2: commercial break and we will we will come right back
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: at that point.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 2: That that the United States, because of this great experiment,
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: this document, the Declaration of Independence, its vision, and our
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: Constitution was used in the aftermath of World War two
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: to spread these ideas to other places around the globe
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 2: and one of the truly exceptional things about our country.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: Scott Powell is our guests this morning for the balance
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: of the half hour. We'll be back in just a
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 2: Moment's thirty nine at fifty five KRC, the talk station.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 2: Not every Chimney system is the same. At the Chimney
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 2: Care Company, there's five KRC talk station. We are speaking
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: with Scott Powell in this half hour, author of Rediscovering America,
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: and we were at a point at the end of
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 2: World War two where this thing that had never been
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 2: tried anywhere around the world as a form of government.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 2: The United States of America are republic, and our Declaration
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 2: of Independence in our Constitution was being utilized at the
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: end of that conflict to inspire other nations to adopt
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 2: something similar, if not exactly the same. And we were
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: in Japan when we left.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 4: Off Scott, Yes, and we were talking about a Japan
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 4: that was occupied by American forces. Actually it was a
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 4: seven year occupation from nineteen forty five to nineteen fifty two. Now,
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 4: the Japanese just made assumption, you know, they the emperor
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 4: was everything in Japan. They believed that the emperor descended
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 4: from their god Amrutsu according to the Shinto religion, and
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 4: was all powerful. So they assumed that one of the
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 4: things that MacArthur and the occupation would do would need
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 4: to deposed, not only to pose the emperor, but actually
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 4: to take his life, because that's that's how the Japanese
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 4: treated defeated people that killed them. And when Arthur showed
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 4: respect for the emperor and actually allowed the emperor to
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 4: have a role, not in terms of policy making, but
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 4: to have a symbolic role, remained. In other words, the
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 4: emperor remained. The Japanese were quite shocked. But the other
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 4: things that MacArthur did that were extraordinary was he saw
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 4: that the Jachpanese people were very demoralized. You know, when
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 4: you're defeated, it can be very hard, especially for people
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 4: that believe that their country could never be defeated, that
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 4: you know that their country was really had a destiny
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 4: actually to rule the world.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 2: And it was it was the ultimate losing of faith,
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: as the Japanese call it exactly.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, very good point. And so it was that
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 4: that MacArthur saw as a kind of a spiritual problem,
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 4: this demoralization. Suicide rates were very high. And what MacArthur
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 4: did was he called on the Christian community worldwide, but
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 4: starting with America, and he said, any missionaries that can
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 4: come to Japan should come. Now the Japanese people need,
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 4: they need love and care and encouragement and faith. And say,
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 4: of course faith that that goes without saying. But and
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 4: then he asked the He got ten million Bibles published
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 4: in Japanese which he brought to Japan. Now, Japan didn't
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 4: totally embrace Christianity, but the example that MacArthur and the
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 4: occupation forces who also treated everybody with respect, so a
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 4: main Japanese people that it really mollified their difficulty with occupation,
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 4: and they of course reformed their country and they became
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 4: America's best ally really since World War Two. Jen would
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 4: be considered one of America's best allies, and it's just
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 4: and it's an extraordinary story. It really is an enemy
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 4: to your best friend.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: But today, in modern day America, we're back to the
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 2: normalizing of sedition that you're talking about. And whether it
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: is whether it is allowing six hundred thousand people who
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: are not citizens to be registered to vote, which has
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: just been confirmed in the state of New Jersey, whether
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 2: it is the hesitancy to pass something like the Save
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: America Act, and the rise of democrats, socialism, i e.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 2: Communism in our political specter, we're going down some of
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 2: these same bad roads that other nations so blatantly clearly
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 2: went down, Scott, and this is the issue. I don't
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: have a tremendous amount of time this morning with you,
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 2: but I did want you to talk real quickly about
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 2: the book that you've got coming out.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 4: Well, the book that's coming out is tentatively titled seventeen
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 4: to seventy six Rising, and the subtitle is the Second
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 4: American Revolution. And the Second American Revolution is not a military,
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 4: you know, an insurrection. It's not a kinetic revolution that
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 4: evolves arms, we hope not. But it's a revolution that
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 4: restores our founding principles most importantly, we have to get
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 4: back to the pursuit of truth, because without truth, a
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 4: society can't make good decisions. So many of our problems
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 4: reflect distortions that have come into the public space in
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 4: every area. I mean, is it is true in academia,
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 4: it is true, in the media it's true, and practice
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 4: of medicine, the pharmaceutical industry, almost without exception, we find
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 4: that our institutions have deviated from the pursuit of truth.
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 4: And that means the pursuit of doing the right thing.
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 4: It means it means taking care of patients, curing them
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 4: of disease rather than maintaining them under drug medication for life.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 4: And so it is that, you know, I think all
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 4: Americans would really celebrate a restoration of these principles that
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 4: keep America healthy, keep us prosperous, keep.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 6: Us at the life has because.
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 4: The competition of ideas is so important. You know, nobody
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 4: has a monopoly on the truth. Certainly government does not
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 4: have a monopoly on truth. There's a competition of ideas
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 4: that it sort of allows for the truth to emerge.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 4: And so that's what America is all about. America is
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 4: a tree that has been based on those founding principles
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 4: of free thinking. And it is free thinking that needs
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 4: to be restored in America. Not you know, not not
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 4: not not you know, following one narrative or another narrative
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 4: as being the truth, but really what what? What? What
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 4: is the truth? And let's live by the truth.
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, And you know, the Democrat socialist when they
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 2: talk about affordable housing will probably need to see some
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 2: pictures of what affordable housing look like in the Soviet Union,
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 2: what it looks like in Cuba, what it looked like
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 2: in Venezuela after the communists took hold there, what it
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 2: what it looked like, what it looks like in China
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 2: where residents were being sealed into their their drab looking
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 2: apartment buildings during COVID. Scott Powell, thank you so much

  Speaker 2: course of how these things go, isn't it.
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's rare we get first time offenders, but sometimes
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 10: it does happen, but usually it's people who's been making
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 10: bad decisions for a while.
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's a shame. Well, hope we find this guy.

  Speaker 2: some change, we'll break and come back with Michael Letts
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 2: on fifty five KRCV Talks Station, the Ihearty Talks Station.
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 2: Michael Letts is founder, president and CEO of invest USA.
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 2: It's the national grassroots nonprofit that helps law enforcement agencies
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 2: across America obtain life saving bulletproof vest through educational initiatives, sponsorships,
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 2: public relations, fundraising efforts. Michael is a veteran law enforcement
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 2: officer more than three decades. He's been dedicated to public
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 2: safety and he's the author of a new book, Truth
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 2: Lies in Control, Finding Hope in an upside down world.
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 2: Michael Letts, Good morning, Michael, how are you today?
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 6: Good?
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 5: More of yours you have has always approved to be
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 5: with you. We thank you for that opportunity.
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 2: We always appreciate your inform and your perspective on current
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 2: news events in involving public safety and law enforcement, like
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 2: the story of the fatal encounter involving ICE officers in
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 2: Houston that's been pointed to as another reason that ICE
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 2: is not a legitimate law enforcement agency. It needs to
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 2: be halted, many say, and they're rogue law enforcement group
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 2: that are causing people to be killed for no good reason.
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 2: And the fatal encounter in Houston produced sharply different accounts
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 2: of what actually happened because the officers were not equipped
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 2: with body cameras. And your argument is, and Tom Holman's
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 2: the borders ours argument is while defending the officers, said yeah,
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 2: let's get them equipped with body cameras so the public
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 2: can know the truth. Uh, and why they protect officers
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 2: as much as they do the public at large. You
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 2: know a comment on you.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 5: You're exactly right. I mean, there's cameras when they first
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 5: came out, there is no concern. It wasn't People need
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 5: to understand what the concern was when cameras first came out.
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 5: It wasn't oh my goodness, somebody's going to see what
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 5: we actually do. It was practical concern kind of like, so,
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 5: how do these cameras work? I mean, we're not allowed
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 5: to turn them on all because that's a valid question.
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 5: And if we can't turn them off, does that mean
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 5: everybody gets to hear us? Plus the toilet? So you know,
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 5: there's a little practical minor things. But at the end
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 5: of the day, law enforcements said, you know what, this actually,
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 5: even if we have to work around those issues, this
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 5: is a good thing because it will determine exactly what
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 5: we do without anybody trying to stay with that which
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 5: is your viewpoint, it'll be everybody's viewpoint. Look at what's
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 5: interesting in what you just coming it about? Gary and
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 5: this let media thought they had a great play on
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 5: a story. Aha, you aren't wearing cameras because you didn't
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 5: want to be recorded. That's what this whole thing is about.
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 5: Y'all want to do things in the dark, abuse the public,
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 5: abuse people, and you don't want anybody.
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 2: Know about it.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 5: Let us tell the truth about what happened with that story.
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 5: This is why you haven't heard a whole lot since then.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 5: They have always wanted cameras on ice officers. We've always
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 5: been programming to do that. The vast majority of them
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 5: do have the cameras and have had them for some time. However, cameras,
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 5: just like bulletproof vests, have to be replaced. They have
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 5: to be ordered ahead of time. So there was a
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 5: batch of cameras that were on order to be able
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 5: to outfit these ice officers, and they said, okay, Maria,
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 5: sit them, where's the check. Well, guess what was happening
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 5: at the time. That's what you had the Democrats in
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 5: the it in Washington saying, no, we're not funded in ice,
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 5: we're not funded at Homeland Security. We're going to block
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 5: that provision in the budget. No money for them. So
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 5: there was no money available to be able to buy
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 5: those cameras, so they had to pass. Now everybody's crying, well,
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 5: how come they didn't have the cameras because the leftists
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 5: didn't want Democrats didn't want them to have them because
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 5: they blocked the funding. Once they released the funding it's
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 5: not like these are particular issues that nobody wants and
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 5: there's a surplus of them. Everybody's looking for those cameras.
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 5: So if you couldn't take form and buy them at
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 5: that time, they moved on to the next agency. Now
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 5: they I said to get the line and say okay,
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 5: we've got the money now and now go ahead, let's
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 5: buy them.
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 2: Go Well, Plus, it's not like the second that they
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 2: okayed the money, the cameras were on the officers. It's
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 2: not like they snapped their fingers the second they finally
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 2: okayed funding and everybody had cameras in five seconds. I mean,
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 2: it doesn't happen that way. Nothing, Nothing that trickles down
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 2: from Washington happles happens quickly.
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 5: Uh, you're exactly right. I mean there's consequences of the
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 5: point being, there are consequences to actions. So you wanted
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 5: to grant stand and say, oh, we're gonna hold funding,
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 5: we're going to teach this home madd security a lesson,
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 5: we're not gonna pay them, and then you don't expect
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 5: there to be consequences of the decision. And then when
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 5: there are consequences that you don't like, you think you
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 5: can capitalize on them and make them look bad when
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 5: the fact of matters, you're the one that created the
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 5: problem to begin with.
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 2: I think that every federal immigration officer should be required
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 2: to wear one, to be honest with you, and you're
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 2: we agree, okay. And and as you mentioned, these cameras
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 2: can resolve conflicting accounts of of of what happens, especially
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 2: if there is a fatal shooting or a deadly encounter
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 2: of some sort involving Ice, to kind of clear of
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 2: the political waters that are muddied up by the activists
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 2: and the people who are in favor of unfettered illegal
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 2: immigration and sanctuary cities and the like.
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 5: One of those questions. But go ahead, and there's no
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 5: question you turn to what you're saying. From this standpoint, folks,
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 5: let's put this in perspective. You've had roughly seven deaths,
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 5: as I recall, in the last eighteen months of activists,
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 5: shall we say that ICE protesting Now we have captured,
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 5: if you want to use that word, deported, gotten off
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 5: the streets, tens of thousands of criminals who are here
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 5: illegally and spared America from that crime that they were
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 5: in the process of putting into place. Will you look
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 5: at this as a hole if you want to, let's
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 5: get upset about shootings, killing, et cetera. How many black
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 5: on black were shot in Chicago over the weekend? How
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 5: many white on white? I am I picking on one particular race.
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 5: How many other people have been killed just in the
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 5: last weekend From a crime standpoint, you want to say
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 5: that the problem is with America with seven instances, And
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 5: let me remind everyone that's listening. Cops do not put
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 5: on a gun and say, gee, I wonder who I
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 5: can shoot today. Let me get out there and see
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 5: if I can find somebody unsuspectully.
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 2: But that's the way these ice officers are being framed, Michael.
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 5: That's the way they're being framed. But every shooting involved,
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 5: when you take a look at the facts, it's always
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 5: because of the fact that their lives start being threaten.
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 5: Now you say, well, I think they should have done
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 5: something differently or than maybe they shouldn't have shot in
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 5: the leg, or they should have jumped out of the
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 5: way this. You know, it's great to be a second
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 5: hand quarterback after the fact that you can try to
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 5: say what you would have done. The fact of the
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 5: matter is you weren't there, you weren't trained. And this
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 5: is why I tell people all the time, and this
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 5: is what shocks them. If you're having to think about
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 5: how you're going to react in a situation where your
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 5: life is under threat, you're dead. This which is what happens.
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 5: We train, We train, and we train so that it
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 5: is automatic, so that those precious seconds give you the
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 5: chance to make sure when you're being threatened, to come
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 5: home safely your family, not the other way around.
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 2: And there's the other topic of whether unmarked vehicles are
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 2: creating unnecessary confusion during these enforcement operations. Michael, your thoughts
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 2: on that.
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 5: Well, it's a two inches sword. Yes, I see the
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 5: other saying, well, you've got lights in there where anybody
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 5: can came run to Walmart and by light and put
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 5: it in there. True, that's why we have laws against that. However,
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 5: let me tell you undercover cars is what we call
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 5: the unmarked undercover cars. Undercover vehicles have been a true
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 5: asset in terms of being able to get in and
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 5: break up criminal elements before the fact they realize that
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 5: you're on top of it and have the opportunity to escape.
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 5: You see what's wrong with them escaping. You ever watch
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 5: cops never see how crazy people get, you know, when
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 5: they're trying to flee law enforcement, whose lives they put
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 5: in jeopardy on the street as they're trying to escape.
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 5: It is our job to make sure we contain and
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 5: protect that people with a minimal amount of collateral damage
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 5: to the citizens that are around. And this is a
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 5: very effective way. I realized there's some controversy on it,
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 5: but folks, it's very simple. Here's how you work it.
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 5: You're getting pulled by a vehicle that's unmarked the lights,
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 5: you pull over, you crack the window, the ass for identification.
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 5: You know, if there is a problem, you say, can
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 5: you send me? Can your supervisor come and more units
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 5: come up? Trust me? If it's some nefarious person, then
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 5: not bringing additional people to the.
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 2: Scene, no doubt. Well listen, Michael, would take a break
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 2: real quick and you can hang for another few minutes, right.
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 2: I'd love to because I want to talk to you
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 2: about these democrats Socialists of America platforms that are calling
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 2: for the elimination of police, the elimination of jails, and
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 2: all of this other nonsense, and get your takes on it.
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 2: As we continue on this Friday morning eight to fifteen
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 2: and some change. Gary Jeffin for Brian Thomas more Michael
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 2: Letts in a moment from invest USA on fifty five KRC,
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 2: the talk station our iHeart Radio.
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 6: Music Festival presented by Capital Wine.
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 2: He's coming back talk station eight nineteen. We're talking with
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 2: Michael Letts, the man behind invest USA, founder, president, CEO
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 2: of that organization and also the author of Truth, Lies
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 2: and Control, Finding Hope in an upside down world. So
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 2: the Democrat Socialists of America, the crazy people who've taken
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 2: over completely the Democrat Party, so it seems Michael, have
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 2: said in their platform they want to not only do
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 2: away with constitution and constitutional branches of government in this country,
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 2: but they also want to many of them. I saw
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 2: this guy in Detroit who's running, I guess for a
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 2: seat in Michigan in the House of Representatives, who wants
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 2: to not only get rid of the police, but also
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 2: let everybody out of jail, and also wants to stop
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 2: cops that, if they still do exist, from chasing criminals
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 2: who've committed a crime in front of them. I just
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 2: like to get your takes on most of these things.
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 2: I kind of know where you're going to come from.
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 2: But let Michael, lets speak about this stuff.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 5: Well, let's build up the case. What's going on. It
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 5: is not by happistance. This is a very well orchestrated
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 5: campaign has been going on for decades. What is their
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 5: ultimate goal and objective? They're ultimate goal objective is power
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 5: and to stay in control. Why is it still important.
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 5: Let's just take a look at what's going on across
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 5: the country today. They estimate that sixty eight percent of
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 5: the deficit that is forty three dollars and it caused
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 5: by embezzlement.
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 7: Fraud, and theft.
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 5: And so they're stealing us blind. They want to continue
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 5: to steal every penny they can from United taxpayers. They
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 5: can't do that if they have people out there trying
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 5: to expose what they do. So they want to make
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 5: sure that they are in power, you can do nothing
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 5: to challenge them, and that you're just stuck with having
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 5: to continue to give them your money. Basically, robbery that
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 5: happens in sands in their way, well law enforcement in
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 5: the military, and so they want to make sure they
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 5: destroy those two elements. They're going after law enforcement to
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 5: begin with. What is the purpose behind going after law enforcement.
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 5: They haven't ultimateen objective. They would love violent crime to skyrocket.
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 5: You say, that's crazy. Why would they want crime to skylark?
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 5: Because they want you to be scared. They want you
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 5: to be so fearful that you say, oh, I'm willing
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 5: to do anything you said we wouldn't do that. Go
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 5: back to the COVID issue. Is what we gave up
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 5: because we were scared for us, for our lives. So
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 5: they want you to be scared, then they're willing to
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 5: step in the Remember this is not ammentation, this is
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 5: what they have on record set. Then they will come
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 5: back and say, never fear. Your federal government is here.
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 5: We know what the problem for violent crime. It's those
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 5: blasted guns. Now they don't telling you it's the people
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 5: that shoot the guns that are the problem. It's the
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 5: guns themselves. Personally, I've never seen one fire itself, but
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 5: I guess I'm just looking in the wrong places. And
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 5: so what they will do is they'll utilize that as Okay,
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 5: we're gonna fix violent.
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 2: Crime for your America.
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 5: We're going door to door, We're taking every gun off
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 5: the streets. Once they have the ability to enable you
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 5: to you cannot oppose them anymore. They've taken your guns away.
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 5: Now they have total control, and they'll get anything they
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 5: want to, and you will be a life of slavery
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 5: and working for them while they steal you blind, or
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 5: they'll dispose of you one of the two. That is
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 5: the reason why they are so adamant about what they're
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 5: doing now, and you can see them moving in that direction. Fortunately,
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 5: a vast majority of Americans say, hey, I'm not going
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 5: down that path. That's why I thought it was interesting
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 5: what you just said.
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 7: You're right.
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 5: There is no longer a democratic party. There is a
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 5: communist party. And I don't even call it a republican party,
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 5: say a patriot party. There are two parties. Those who
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 5: believe in our constitution and who want what our founding
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 5: call us established, are those who want communism. And that's
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 5: where we're at today, and they're working as hard as
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 5: they can to take it over and control you and
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 5: I and tell us what we have to do for
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 5: the rest of our life. We're gonna never bow me
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 5: to that kind of opportunity.
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 2: And Michael, let you made the perfect point. Is they
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 2: want you so scared, they're willing, we're willing as citizens
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 2: to give them total control to keep us safe. We
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 2: already have plenty of levers in our system, our current
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 2: system to keep us safe, and they're trying to handcuff those.
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 2: They're trying to tear all that down so they can
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 2: reimagine or repropose ways to keep us safe. And that includes,
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 2: as you were so so right to mention, taking away
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 2: our right to defend ourselves and our ability to do so.
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 2: Uh And and if they can, they can cause that chaos,
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 2: then they can gain control, and then, as you mentioned,
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 2: they'll have total control. And boy, it's it's scary that
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 2: it is scary, but we've got too he thought.
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 5: Especially we've seen what they do. I mean, we're looking,
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 5: we're living in today. We see definitely how they operate
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 5: and how they steal and destroy, take every than if
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 5: you've give them that opportunity, why would we want to
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 5: give them that chance?
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it happened in the summer of twenty
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 2: twenty with BLM and Antifa. You know it's happening again
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 2: with these ice protests and these free Palestine property and
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 2: they're all they're all being supported by the same globalists
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 2: who want that control.
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 5: And Yeah, the only thing that really hinders. Their global
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 5: objective is this bastion of hope and freedom called America.
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 5: That's right, got to get rid of that. They got
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 5: to get rid of that thor on their side. They'd
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 5: be working on it for decades. Well unforced the coming
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 5: closer to reality. That's why they were like people.
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 2: And patriots and people who believe in the constitution and
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 2: this country as it was founded as a republic. It's
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 2: more important now, more than ever, that you get up
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 2: and you'll let your voice be heard. And as President
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 2: Trump said, make make the vote in November too big
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 2: to rig. Let's let's let's show out all the energies
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 2: on the communist side. Well, let's change that right now, Michael,
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 2: let's invest USA. Thank you very much, you want to
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 2: know more INVESTUSA dot com. I appreciate your time against sir.
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 5: Winness fight. As long as we stay together in cocus.
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 2: You have a great day, all right, fantastic. Gary Benoah
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 2: from the John Birch Society joins us as we round
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 2: the turn on this Friday morning morning show. Gary jeffin
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 2: for Brian on fifty five KRC the Talk station. Need
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 2: the right equipment for your next project? He kind of
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 2: Hey thirty, straight up and down. On this Friday, July
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 2: twenty fourth, twenty twenty six, GJW with you and continuing
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 2: kind of the theme of the morning, consider of activist C. J.
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 2: Pearson warned in this piece on Fox News that Democrats
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 2: are targeting politically homeless young people, offering them a sense
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 2: of belonging, arguing that the left is aggressively steering gen
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 2: Z towards socialism and DEI and we're seeing that in places,
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 2: and the movement appears to be spreading. And he said,
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 2: when I look at why young people are at least
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 2: flirting with socialism right now, I think it's because they're
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 2: politically homeless. I think they're looking for a place where
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 2: they feel heard, where they feel seen. And the polls
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 2: have shown that a lot of these gen Z and
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 2: a younger generation who are drifting towards Democrat socialism, the DSA,
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 2: and ultimately, as we mentioned, it's just communism dressed up
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 2: with another alphabet term basically, but it's tried and true communism.
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 2: Another reason why is that they have been indoctrinated in
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 2: academics for the past forty fifty years by these leftist
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 2: professors who have extolled the virtues of socialism and ae
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 2: i e. Communism to them and in our public schools
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 2: and in our institutions of higher learning, as I mentioned,
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 2: in colleges, this has been an ongoing effort and we're
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 2: seeing the rotten fruits of it right now spring up
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 2: in places around this country. But it's mostly college educated
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 2: people who have been very unsuccessful in the real world.
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 2: President Trump called them losers. Gary Benoitt is with the
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 2: John Birch Society and he joins us to talk about
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 2: this and more this morning as we look towards the
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 2: November midterms. Gary Benoit, Welcome to the show. How are you,
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 2: my friend.
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 6: I'm doing great, Jeff, thank you for having me.
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, thanks for being available for us. Now, this
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 2: whole narrative that is, you know, rearing its ugly head
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 2: has been the focus on gen Z with socialism. But
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 2: I think part of the reason, too is a failing
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 2: of many of us who consider ourselves right and on
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 2: the right of this issue, not emphasizing or educating this
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 2: next generation. I mean, don't you think part of the
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 2: blame lies with us? Gary?
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 6: Absolutely I do, and and it all has to do
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 6: with a lack of understanding because young people in particular
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 6: have forgotten their own heritage. And a good example of that.
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 6: Jeff is a catle pole the Cato Institute. They released
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 6: their results on July second, and according to their pole,
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 6: nearly two thirds of Generation Z, specifically sixty one percent
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 6: did not know what America's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary commemorated.
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 6: They did not know was the Declaration of Independance. So
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 6: that's how bad the ignorance.
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 11: Is among the young.
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, I see, I'm a semi regular watcher of programs
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 2: like Jesse Waters Primetime, and he has his stooge Johnny
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 2: out on the streets or on the beach, interviewing these
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 2: early twenty somethings and teenagers and asking the same questions,
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 2: and of course they select the most ridiculous answers for
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 2: the benefit of the entertainment of the program. So you know,
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 2: they make all these kids look like total idiots or uninformed.
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 2: But some of the answers they get about just easy
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 2: questions about American history are astonishing. The lack of knowledge.
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 2: But again, that has been that has been purposeful in
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 2: our education system, that has been taken over by teachers'
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 2: unions instead of people who want to actually impart the truth.
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 6: I agree with you, Jeff, that it's on purpose. It
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 6: really is by design. And that is a notion that
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 6: if you had told people that, I would say, generations ago,
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 6: or even a generation ago, they would scoff, they would
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 6: think that's ridiculous. But today I think most people realize
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 6: that the fix is in at the top, that there
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 6: really is a grand design.
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 11: There is an effort to dumb down the American people.
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 11: And of course that starts with the young, and it
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 11: starts going back into elementary school.
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 6: Because if you have people who do not have understanding,
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 6: they do.
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 11: Not have knowledge, they have not been taught to saying.
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 6: Critically, those are people who are not going to be able.
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 11: To hang on to their freedom.
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 2: Well, for a long long time, the federal government, whether
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 2: it be under a Republican or Democrat administration it continues now,
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 2: has just been expanding and expanding and getting larger. And
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 2: the original intention of this great experiment we know as
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 2: the United States of America, this sacred Republic, was smaller government.
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 2: But it keeps expanding and becoming more centralized at the
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 2: same time, and it's not true to the intentions or
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 2: the vision of the founders. Correct, not at all.
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 11: The whole intent of the founders was to create a
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 11: government large enough to.
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 6: Protect our freedom, but not a government so large that
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 6: it would be able to devour the freedom that was
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 6: intended to detect. And of course I just recognized too
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 6: that rights do that come from government.
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 11: Rights come from man.
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 6: If you were to say that rights come from government,
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 6: you'd be saying that rights can only exist if you've
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 6: had a government, which of course is ludicrous. And that
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 6: basic principle that rights.
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 11: Come from God and that the purpose of government, purpose
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 11: of government is to protect those and inalable rights. Those
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 11: principles are embodied in the Decoration of Independence.
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 2: Oh no, they most certainly are. I'll tell you what.
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about the mission of the John Birch Society,
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 2: and maybe it speaks directly to educating and informing people
• 2:13:30
  Speaker 2: and getting people motivated, because I think there is a
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 2: serious lack of motivation right now among people who who
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 2: maybe are passively believe what you and I appear to
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 2: fervently believe about the true vision for our government and
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 2: continuing this great experiment. We'll talk about what the John
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 2: Birch Society is up to and what you guys are
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 2: doing and involved with as far as education and inspiration
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 2: and maybe a few other things that are going on
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 2: politically as we head towards November. Gary Benoit is our
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 2: guest from the John Birch Society. Back in just a
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 2: moment on fifty five KRC, the talk station. If you're
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 2: looking for a mortgage expert you can trust, turned it
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 2: Suzette Low's Camp of Cross. The problem is government overreached,
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 2: the federal government overreach. What's the solution? Talking to Gary
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 2: Benoit of the John Bert Society, and so what is
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 2: the Make America States Again Action project? Gary, we I'm
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 2: glad you ask Jeff.
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 6: That's based on the principle of federalism that is embodied
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 6: in our constitutional former government. What the Founding Fathers did
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 6: when they created a new government is they did not
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 6: take all the powers of the government.
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 11: And trust those powers with a national government in Washington,
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 11: d c. Instead, what they did was they defined those powers,
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 11: those few powers they limited to them. They divided those
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 11: powers among.
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 6: Three branches of government, the legislative, executives, and judicial, and
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 6: they built in a brand system of checks and balances
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 6: to keep any particular branch from stepping out of control.
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 6: Now most people, I think know that, but very few
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 6: people know that what they also did was they retained
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 6: most of the powers on the state level.
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 11: Most powers of government were reserved.
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 6: To the state and the people and appleated right the
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 6: tense Amendment to the US Constitution. And we need to
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 6: remember too that every governor, every state legislature, just like
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 6: the federal counterparts, also take an oth to hold the
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 6: Constitution of the United States.
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 11: So that program makes States Great Again is all about, uh,
• 2:15:50
  Speaker 11: the states exercising their powers under the Constitution, and then
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 11: includes Jeff fighting feral over rache that that means that
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 11: the federament wereked to violate the Council by say, trying
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 11: to take away.
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 6: The right to keep in their arms. That state officials
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 6: and this includes sheriffs as well, who have taken an
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 6: oe to the Constitution that they are duly duty bound
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 6: to say enough is enough and the Constitution will not
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 6: be violated within our state borders.
• 2:16:18
  Speaker 2: Well, how does this relate to things like sanctuary states
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 2: which are are provider are preventing federal law enforcement for
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 2: doing their job as far as getting illegal immigrants who
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 2: have broken our laws out of this country. Should states
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 2: have the ability to do that as well?
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 6: Gary, Well, states don't have the ability to violate the
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 6: constitution itself. And so if you have a federal power
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 6: which really is constitutional, then the state, of course the
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 6: states could not.
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 7: Do to that.
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 6: So what we're talking about our unconstitutional cars. But with
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 6: regard to you know, particulars, with regard to sanctuary cities
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 6: and whatnot, we need to keep in mind too that
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 6: the reason things are out of control is because we
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 6: had a border until recently that was a very poorest border.
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 11: The laws of the nation were over were you know, ignored.
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 6: And so we have this flood of illegal aliens.
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 11: And uh, you know, I've been serding myself about, uh,
• 2:17:20
  Speaker 11: you know, whether the federal government.
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 6: Could go too far in terms of law enforcement within
• 2:17:26
  Speaker 6: the states, because law enforcement is supposed to be a
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 6: function of the states and the local communities in particular.
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 6: But a good way of solving that problem is to
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 6: get rid of the.
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 11: Social welfare magnet, uh and to uh, you know, enforce
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 11: the border and not allow that problem to occur in
• 2:17:43
  Speaker 11: the first place.
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm at uh, I'm at the age where in
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 2: a couple of years I'll be able to take full
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 2: advantage of Social Security if it's still there, if it's
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 2: still solvent. UH. But I've always considered that a Ponzi scheme. UH.
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 2: And and and a government overreach. But what what what
• 2:18:07
  Speaker 2: are your thoughts on well, on Medicare, Medicaid, social Security
• 2:18:13
  Speaker 2: in the life.
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 6: In an interest the full disco closure. But I'm on
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 6: Medicare and I'm on Social.
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 11: Security, and that's because of my age, although I am
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 11: still working. But nonetheless these are unconstitutional programs.
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 10: UH.
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 6: They value the Constitution. But I think, Jeff, in terms
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 6: of getting back to the constitution, what you must do.
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 6: You can't just end those programs overnight. There are some
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 6: programs I believe we can end overnight, such as foreign
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 6: A giveaways. We should end all foreign A programs. That
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 6: also is unconstitutional. But with regard to a program such
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 6: as Social Security.
• 2:18:48
  Speaker 11: Where people have been paying into that throughout their working career,
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 11: and I agree with you it is a Ponzi scheme.
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 11: I think the way you get away from that, UH
• 2:18:57
  Speaker 11: is you continue the program for those who are already
• 2:18:59
  Speaker 11: on it, and then step by step you moved from
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 11: four younger workers so a work entering the work force today.
• 2:19:06
  Speaker 11: For example, he would not put that person into the
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 11: Social Security program. You would not fase on security.
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 6: And you would have a phase out over a period
• 2:19:14
  Speaker 6: of time.
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I think there's got to be a way
• 2:19:19
  Speaker 2: for you know, frankly, I've been paying into it all
• 2:19:22
  Speaker 2: my life, you know, for the last fifty years, so
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 2: I think I think I'm owed something for that.
• 2:19:31
  Speaker 6: And I agree, and that's why it has to be,
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 6: you know, a phase out, ya, you know, over you know,
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 6: over a period of time.
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 11: Because you don't want to rob from the people who
• 2:19:40
  Speaker 11: paid into it. But at the same time, Jeff, you
• 2:19:43
  Speaker 11: said Ponzi.
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 6: Scheme, and that really resonated with me because that's really
• 2:19:47
  Speaker 6: what it is.
• 2:19:47
  Speaker 11: You know, the people who.
• 2:19:48
  Speaker 6: Entered the program early made out like.
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 11: Bandits, so to speak, compared to the money they put
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 11: into it.
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 6: For my generation, you know, I might break even, and
• 2:19:57
  Speaker 6: for younger people, they're going to be ripped off.
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it. Gary Benoy, John Birch Society.
