0:46
Speaker 1: thirty Tech Friday with Dave Hatter, Like we do every
0:48
Speaker 1: Friday at six thirty today, we'll be talking with Dave Hatter.
0:53
Speaker 1: First topic this guy. I'm very curious about that. I'm
0:55
Speaker 1: always curious about his topics. The first one the internet
0:58
Speaker 1: will be dead in three okay, followed by a singular
1:03
Speaker 1: bad password running a one hundred and fifty year old business,
1:06
Speaker 1: plus Albania points and artificial intelligence bot as Minister to
1:11
Speaker 1: combat corruption. Now is that going to work out for Albania.
1:14
Speaker 1: Let's keep our popcorn out and watch Chief Scott Hughes.
1:17
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear about juvenile justice. Reform bill that's being
1:20
Speaker 1: considered in Columbus Hamilton Township Police Department, Warren County. That's
1:24
Speaker 1: what it says right there. Chief Scott Hughes posting on
1:27
Speaker 1: social media the other day all about this breaking down
1:29
Speaker 1: the bill that we'll be talking about coming up at
1:30
Speaker 1: seven oh five. Diana Tella's board member of empower You
1:34
Speaker 1: and adult leader for the brand new Turning Point Club
1:38
Speaker 1: and empower You to serve high schools in Cincinnati. What
1:42
Speaker 1: is the new Turning Point Club and empower You. I
1:45
Speaker 1: do know one thing because it's on the rundown, thank you, Joe.
1:48
Speaker 1: They need a place to meet, so we're gonna do
1:50
Speaker 1: a little callet. We'll talk to Diana about the idea
1:52
Speaker 1: of the Turning Point Club with empower You, what they
1:54
Speaker 1: plan on doing, how they're going to serve the schools.
1:56
Speaker 1: Of course, I think we can probably come up with
1:57
Speaker 1: a reasonable idea about that right now. But they eat
2:00
Speaker 1: a place to meet, So it's a bit of a
2:03
Speaker 1: call to action during the discussion for anybody out there
2:06
Speaker 1: that has a meeting place for the Turning Point Club,
2:09
Speaker 1: So that worthy worthy effort today in the Morning show.
2:12
Speaker 1: Hopefully we can solve the problem and wouldn't it be
2:14
Speaker 1: cool if someone called up just Drecker and said, I
2:17
Speaker 1: got a place here. Tell Diana at seven point thirty,
2:20
Speaker 1: we've already solved the problem five one, three, seven, four,
2:23
Speaker 1: nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to
2:25
Speaker 1: three talk or pound five fifty on eighteen and T phones.
2:27
Speaker 1: You can call about that idea or call to talk
2:29
Speaker 1: to me if there's a specific issue you want to
2:31
Speaker 1: talk about. You know, I love engaging with the listeners
2:33
Speaker 1: at least maybe you don't. I do. Dona Schwabin. Yeah,
2:37
Speaker 1: october Fest season and my friends from Donnishwabin going to
2:40
Speaker 1: be apparently in studio, which is the only way to
2:43
Speaker 1: discuss at october Fest event. Love my friends at Donnis
2:47
Speaker 1: Schwabin they'll be in ANATO five, followed by maybe it's
2:50
Speaker 1: a tentative booking because we're seemingly we're waiting on a
2:53
Speaker 1: phone number. Rebecca Lafferty wrote a rather it's a life story,
2:57
Speaker 1: but it's called The Lafferty Girl Surviving Trauma, Abuse and
3:02
Speaker 1: my Father's Crimes. Her father convicted the two life sentences
3:08
Speaker 1: apparently because of the premitted murder of her aunt and
3:11
Speaker 1: infant cousin that happened back in nineteen eighty four. But
3:14
Speaker 1: she had a terrible, terrible childhood. This guy was apparently
3:18
Speaker 1: a very abusive the subtitle a Mormon Daughter's Story. So
3:27
Speaker 1: dad apparently took the family, moved to some abandoned farmhouse
3:30
Speaker 1: when she was a little kid, and was very abusive
3:32
Speaker 1: and ultimately convicted of murder. She got a call. It
3:36
Speaker 1: was kind of weird when you read about what happened
3:38
Speaker 1: to her. So maybe we'll get to talk to her
3:40
Speaker 1: at eight thirty. If not, maybe we'll continue the party
3:42
Speaker 1: with Donna Schwabin. Ah, it's Friday at the eight o'clock hour.
3:46
Speaker 1: By then, I'm in full weekend mode. Oh so you
3:52
Speaker 1: know I want to start probably well real quick here.
3:56
Speaker 1: Just Strekker is still alive. The government shutdown did not
3:58
Speaker 1: kill him. Everybody else doing okay With the government shutdown,
4:03
Speaker 1: you feel a sense of loss or longing.
4:07
Speaker 2: Not me.
4:09
Speaker 1: I think it was kind of funny. Headline Representative maxweden
4:12
Speaker 1: Waters Admitst. Dems forced government shutdown to get health care
4:15
Speaker 1: for everybody, including illegal immigrants. Does this shock anybody? It's
4:22
Speaker 1: like they suggesting they caught her in an aha moment.
4:25
Speaker 1: But the language of the continuing resolutions that the Democrats
4:29
Speaker 1: put in there very clearly reflects that they want illegal
4:32
Speaker 1: immigrants to get benefits under Obamacare. So Waters being questioned
4:41
Speaker 1: outside the US Capital Or earlier this week about the
4:43
Speaker 1: democrats opposition to the stop Guy funding Build the Plane,
4:49
Speaker 1: the clean continuing resolution that gives the Democrats the same
4:52
Speaker 1: funding levels as last year. Anyhow, so Republicans vote to
4:58
Speaker 1: keep the Democrat level funding levels. Going through the facts again,
5:02
Speaker 1: the Democrats say no because why well, they want illegal immigrants,
5:06
Speaker 1: apparently to get healthcare. Are Democrats demanding health care for
5:10
Speaker 1: illegal aliens? Asked reporter Alison Steinberg earlier this week. Water's response,
5:16
Speaker 1: The Democrats are demanding health care for everybody, which is
5:20
Speaker 1: the broadest category. Everyone includes everyone right within the broader category.
5:26
Speaker 1: Of course, you have a subset of the population, which
5:28
Speaker 1: is the illegal immigrant community, of course, part of everybody.
5:33
Speaker 1: She said, we want to save lives. We want to
5:34
Speaker 1: make sure that healthcare is available to those who would
5:37
Speaker 1: die not having the help of government. Wow, what a
5:42
Speaker 1: terrible position to be in your life depends upon help
5:46
Speaker 1: from the government. That would scare the living crap out
5:56
Speaker 1: of me. But it was kind of funny. You know,
6:00
Speaker 1: it wasn't that long ago, twenty nineteen, not really that
6:06
Speaker 1: long ago, and I remembered it like it was yesterday.
6:08
Speaker 1: You probably saw it because my listeners pay attention to politics.
6:11
Speaker 1: Remember the Democrat primary. Senator Franken posted on X is
6:17
Speaker 1: jd Vance a Remember Franken is jd Advance a liar
6:21
Speaker 1: or just woefully ignorant when claiming that Democrats want to
6:24
Speaker 1: give health benefits to undocumented immigrants? Obviously, the suggestion is
6:28
Speaker 1: that he is indeed ignorant. What other position would Senator
6:31
Speaker 1: al Frankin come from? Well, dude, it's the world with
6:37
Speaker 1: the Internet, even if it might be dead in three years.
6:39
Speaker 1: According to Tech Friday's Dave Hatter, everyone was started posting
6:46
Speaker 1: the clip from the twenty nineteen Democratic presidential primary question
6:53
Speaker 1: from Savannah Guthrie. The anchor that was asking the presidential
6:57
Speaker 1: would be's or wannabes moderating the convention the debate, raise
7:01
Speaker 1: your hand if your government plan would provide coverage for
7:04
Speaker 1: undocumented immigrants? Straightforward question. Every blanket one of them raised
7:09
Speaker 1: their hand and said, yes, this is something they campaigned on,
7:14
Speaker 1: and they've been busting their homes since then. To try
7:16
Speaker 1: to get It's literally, like Maxine Water said, health care
7:22
Speaker 1: for everyone. How's that working out? And it comes at
7:29
Speaker 1: such a tremendous cost. You know, we have these mandatory
7:34
Speaker 1: spending Medicare and Medicaid, socis Security. This programs are dying.
7:43
Speaker 1: They're running out of money. See does your life depend
7:48
Speaker 1: on one of those three programs? Going back to the
7:51
Speaker 1: comment that was made by Maxine Waters, well, if it does,
7:55
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking most notably the Social Security recipients, because
7:58
Speaker 1: you did pay into the system, they did well encourage
8:03
Speaker 1: you to rely on it, telling you over and over
8:04
Speaker 1: again that sheet they send you, I think every year,
8:07
Speaker 1: this is how much money? And you know, the dirty
8:09
Speaker 1: open secret on that one is what you might get
8:14
Speaker 1: after you retire based upon your earnings history. And it's
8:17
Speaker 1: a big giant mite because there is no guarantee that
8:20
Speaker 1: you're ever going to get that. They say it every
8:22
Speaker 1: time they send that letter out. This does not mean
8:24
Speaker 1: you're definitely going to get that, because well, the system's broken.
8:27
Speaker 1: So if you're there and you see that what you're
8:29
Speaker 1: relying on this is like an underfunded pension, don't you
8:32
Speaker 1: look to your elected officials to solve the end problem before, well,
8:35
Speaker 1: the pension system collapse or in this particular case, the
8:37
Speaker 1: social security system collap because they haven't been minding the
8:41
Speaker 1: store for so long. To remind you the road situation Cincinnati.
8:44
Speaker 1: You let something sit and you don't tend to it,
8:47
Speaker 1: something's going to go wrong. Oh, we got new stuff
8:49
Speaker 1: and things we need to fund. We've got a brand
8:50
Speaker 1: new program. We want to give health care to every
8:52
Speaker 1: single human being who comes across the border at a
8:55
Speaker 1: massive cost of the American taxpayer. Meanwhile, we haven't bothered
8:59
Speaker 1: to fix us as security of getting on a trajectory
9:01
Speaker 1: where we can continue to give people their benefits, people
9:04
Speaker 1: who are United States citizens who funded the damn thing
9:07
Speaker 1: and have an expectation they're gonna get it in retirement.
9:10
Speaker 3: Ha.
9:13
Speaker 1: Fix what you got in front of you, aft tab
9:20
Speaker 1: I don't know got into my skin this morning, but
9:22
Speaker 1: look right there for all to see, every single one
9:25
Speaker 1: of them. It's like people acting surprise that Donald Trump
9:27
Speaker 1: wants to use this opportunity with the government shutdown to
9:30
Speaker 1: drain the swamp. Oh my god, he's going to fire
9:33
Speaker 1: people he campaigned on that. Go back and see get
9:37
Speaker 1: the message, just like they did with the primary video
9:40
Speaker 1: I'm sure somewhere out there in the great soon to
9:42
Speaker 1: be dead in three year Internet that there's clips of
9:45
Speaker 1: Donald Trump promising to do exactly that. What does drain
9:48
Speaker 1: the swamp mean? Drain it, get rid of it. That's
9:53
Speaker 1: I think obvious on its face that it means firing people.
9:58
Speaker 1: We're getting rid of department. It's doing something that results
10:02
Speaker 1: in a contraction.
10:05
Speaker 4: I e.
10:05
Speaker 1: Fire people. Oh, oh my god, I'm shocked, shocked to
10:08
Speaker 1: find gambling.
10:09
Speaker 4: Going on in here.
10:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can get them cost some block on that one.
10:12
Speaker 1: Anyhow well, I got two parallel or two articles we're
10:21
Speaker 1: going to talk about here, just given it's just well
10:25
Speaker 1: hard to believe they are as I try to just
10:28
Speaker 1: sort of summarize the reality of the couple of stories
10:31
Speaker 1: going to get into the next segments. Stick around. It's
10:33
Speaker 1: just quite amazing. Five fifteen right now, fifty five krc
10:35
Speaker 1: DE Talk station. Fifty five KRC is your retirement, Thank you,
10:41
Speaker 1: Donald J.
10:42
Speaker 4: Trump.
10:42
Speaker 1: Five eighteen to five kres DE Talk station. Remember the
10:44
Speaker 1: Happy Friday to every one five hund three seven fifty five,
10:48
Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three talk not if I say
10:50
Speaker 1: how many KMT phones and let me wake us up.
11:00
Speaker 4: All right.
11:00
Speaker 1: I will admit I just did an Internet search and
11:03
Speaker 1: I got an artificial intelligence answer, which is always what
11:06
Speaker 1: you get at the top of the charts on Google,
11:09
Speaker 1: which is the default search engine on my work computer,
11:12
Speaker 1: Dave Hatter, I know I wouldn't use it if I
11:15
Speaker 1: was on my regular computer, So that out of the way.
11:18
Speaker 1: The cost per credit hour at Harvard University varies by
11:23
Speaker 1: school and program. Now pause for a second. Let me
11:28
Speaker 1: just pull the room Jus Strecker, how much do you
11:30
Speaker 1: think one credit hour at Harvard University is? Just get
11:34
Speaker 1: a couple grand? Well, you're a little low cost for
11:41
Speaker 1: a typical credit hour for an undergraduate visiting student. Three
11:46
Speaker 1: thousand and thirty four dollars per credit hour for the
11:50
Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty five school year singular credit hour.
11:57
Speaker 1: Do the math on that one. I took a five
11:59
Speaker 1: hour German class, speaking of Dona Schwaben, coming in here.
12:01
Speaker 1: Five hour Germans so I could graduate. Why did I
12:03
Speaker 1: take German? Because I had to take German in order
12:05
Speaker 1: to get a degree. Did I need German for my
12:08
Speaker 1: political science degree as I was off to law school?
12:10
Speaker 4: Hell?
12:10
Speaker 3: No?
12:10
Speaker 1: Have I used German since then?
12:12
Speaker 5: No?
12:12
Speaker 1: Not outside of classroom setting, although we do like to
12:15
Speaker 1: make fun of myself since the only few words I
12:16
Speaker 1: remember in German or either words I can't use because
12:19
Speaker 1: of the FCC, or things like you know, beer Mitch schlagzhana,
12:23
Speaker 1: which is basically beer with whipped cream. As I pivot
12:31
Speaker 1: over to this insanity, Harvard five h and thirty four
12:37
Speaker 1: dollars per credit are you can take a class by
12:40
Speaker 1: the newly hired professor ready Lahore Bagistan, described as a
12:47
Speaker 1: visiting professor who'll be teaching a course called Ready Rue Politics, Drag,
12:53
Speaker 1: Race and Desire as well as queer ethnography. Lahore Vagistan
13:01
Speaker 1: the stage name for the transgender Kareem kub Chandani. The
13:12
Speaker 1: university said. Kub Chundani, a visiting professor from Tuff's University,
13:15
Speaker 1: where he taught. He taught theater, dance, and performance studies.
13:19
Speaker 1: We'll be teaching the Studies of Gender and Sexuality Program
13:23
Speaker 1: initial CAP. On that that is a program at Harvard
13:27
Speaker 1: thanks to the Harvard Gender and Sexuality Caucus. I guess
13:30
Speaker 1: and that's initial CAP as well. There's a caucus within
13:32
Speaker 1: Harvard in the Studies of Gender Sexuality program that decides
13:36
Speaker 1: who they're going to hire. Welcome to Harvard, Lahore Bagistan
13:42
Speaker 1: drag Queen, also Bright Bart reporting. We're expected to teach
13:45
Speaker 1: a course under the Lahore Vagistan persona. In other words,
13:49
Speaker 1: not going to walk into class and say Hi, I'm
13:51
Speaker 1: doctor or professor or guy Kareem kub Chandani. Hi, my
13:55
Speaker 1: name is Laharrevagistan. Thank you for paying three three eight
14:00
Speaker 1: thousand and five hundred and thirty four dollars per hour
14:03
Speaker 1: in my classroom, we're going to learn about Rue Paul.
14:09
Speaker 1: Also an author of a couple of books. One book Decolonizer,
14:14
Speaker 1: Drag and Ish style accenting gay Indian nightlife. Latest book,
14:21
Speaker 1: Lessons in Drag, a queer manual for academics, artists, and aunties.
14:27
Speaker 1: Now say what you want about the names, say what
14:30
Speaker 1: you want about his activities outside of school. Actually going
14:33
Speaker 1: to be dressed in drag apparently a while teaching classes
14:36
Speaker 1: on Rue Paul at Harvard. I don't care. I only
14:43
Speaker 1: raised this really as an illustration of how dumb some
14:50
Speaker 1: of the classes that they teach in college happen to be.
14:52
Speaker 1: How pointless and what a blank and colossal waste of money.
15:03
Speaker 1: How does this course apply to life? Well? I suppose
15:09
Speaker 1: one can make an argument. If you're in these Studies
15:11
Speaker 1: of gender and sexuality program, maybe you can shoehorn it
15:14
Speaker 1: in there as some sort of I don't know, point
15:17
Speaker 1: of understanding. If you understand Rupe Paul and the Rue
15:20
Speaker 1: Paul Show, go ahead, try to make some sense of it.
15:24
Speaker 1: It doesn't. But if you're paying that much money, if
15:27
Speaker 1: you're paying two dollars an hour for a credit course
15:31
Speaker 1: for your children, right, Okay, if you're a child out
15:33
Speaker 1: there and you're going into student debt, are you're going
15:35
Speaker 1: to go ahead and go into debt for that particular class.
15:38
Speaker 1: I would hope that even a young eighteen year old
15:41
Speaker 1: or me and my case, myk seventeen year old starting
15:43
Speaker 1: on college might look at that and go, no, I'm
15:45
Speaker 1: not going to go down that road. It's too expensive
15:47
Speaker 1: and it's not going to help me in life. But
15:51
Speaker 1: much like I had to take a foreign language to
15:54
Speaker 1: get a degree in political science undergrad a University of Cincinnati,
15:57
Speaker 1: I also had to take a bunch of what do
15:59
Speaker 1: they call liberal arts or humanities courses or whatever, nothing
16:02
Speaker 1: connected with my degree. What fulfilled that obligation so I
16:06
Speaker 1: could get a sheepskin hang in the wall music appreciation
16:09
Speaker 1: I use that example many times. Did I have a
16:11
Speaker 1: good time in class? Yeah, but uh, I was having
16:14
Speaker 1: a good time in class. It was an easy, lay
16:17
Speaker 1: down course. You could sleep through it and get an
16:19
Speaker 1: a everybody got a day in music appreciation. All you
16:23
Speaker 1: had to do was show up. And I've always thanked
16:29
Speaker 1: my parents and every single person who listened to my
16:32
Speaker 1: dad because thank you, you put me through college. And
16:34
Speaker 1: I again thank my parents. The gift of education the
16:38
Speaker 1: second best gift they ever gave me, after the gift
16:40
Speaker 1: of life, and of course love is in there as well,
16:43
Speaker 1: but the gift of education was a reflection of their
16:45
Speaker 1: love and caring and concern for me. So I thanked
16:47
Speaker 1: them and I always have thanked them for my college education.
16:50
Speaker 1: But my parents paid for me to sit in music appreciation.
16:54
Speaker 1: I think it was only a couple hundred dollars of
16:56
Speaker 1: credit hour back in the day because I'm old now,
16:58
Speaker 1: but still think about that all the time. So your
17:02
Speaker 1: kid goes off to college, you're footing the bill. Would
17:04
Speaker 1: you abide if the semester included the the the class
17:11
Speaker 1: taught by Lahore bagistan On Rue Paul, No, I wouldn't abide.

Speaker 1: et cetera. So about an hour after that I get
18:48
Speaker 1: I get an email from her assistant, guy named Dela,
18:52
Speaker 1: apologies for the late notice, but it looks like we
18:54
Speaker 1: will be in rolling coverage for Sean comes tomorrow. You know,
19:02
Speaker 1: it's safest for us to cancel. Laura will be in
19:08
Speaker 1: touch to reschedule another day at topic soon. So I'm
19:11
Speaker 1: getting ready to respond to this, and I'm saying, hey,
19:14
Speaker 1: that's I said, you know, basically, that's okay. Let me
19:17
Speaker 1: keep you in mind. Maybe we'll do it down the
19:18
Speaker 1: road sometime. And my wife is sitting next to me,
19:20
Speaker 1: looking over my shoulder as I'm replying, and I'm getting
19:24
Speaker 1: ready to say we'll have fun with Puffy or make
19:27
Speaker 1: sort of a slight handed comment like that. And as
19:29
Speaker 1: soon as I started typing the next sentence, she didn't
19:32
Speaker 1: even know what's going to say. She goes, don't do it.
19:34
Speaker 1: I said, don't do what she goes. I know you're
19:37
Speaker 1: gonna type something out about Puffy. I said, yeah, I was.
19:40
Speaker 1: She goes, let it go, Just let it go. You
19:42
Speaker 1: don't want to alienate them even though they're seeing that.
19:44
Speaker 1: So I got bumped by Puffy. Tom Welcome to the program.
19:53
Speaker 1: Heavy Friday said, that's what said. He guess that's a
20:01
Speaker 1: pactive honor.
20:02
Speaker 5: Literally, yeah, yeah, Well it's a shame because CNN is
20:08
Speaker 5: they suck. Let's just let's just say it. But but
20:11
Speaker 5: unfortunately there's still enough left wing idiots that listen to
20:15
Speaker 5: him that any chance you get to get on there
20:18
Speaker 5: well and and give these people a little dose of reality.
20:21
Speaker 5: You're truth, you need to grab it.
20:23
Speaker 1: No, that's exactly right.
20:25
Speaker 3: I was.
20:25
Speaker 1: I was surprised. They asked me. Now, I've been on
20:27
Speaker 1: other programs in the past. Stuart Varney just dropped me
20:30
Speaker 1: like a bad habit. Uh, back when Governor Kaseik was
20:34
Speaker 1: running for for for president because he and I guess
20:38
Speaker 1: Kasik were really best friends or something like that. And uh,
20:42
Speaker 1: and when I came out against Kaiseik on his live
20:44
Speaker 1: on his program, he about had an aneurysm.
20:48
Speaker 6: Uh.
20:48
Speaker 1: Never got invited back. But that was at least a
20:50
Speaker 1: conservative program. CNN asking me to be on, I thought
20:53
Speaker 1: was a kind of that's cool. You know, they had
20:55
Speaker 1: to know who I am or what my politics are about.
20:57
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, so I thought, cool, you know, my
21:01
Speaker 1: little ill libertarian approach to life and just letting people
21:04
Speaker 1: know what people are saying. I'm just passing along factual information.
21:07
Speaker 1: But I guess I won't have that opportunity anyway. Tom,
21:10
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today, my friend?
21:12
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, we know there are some people that pass
21:14
Speaker 5: along factual information and they get they get treated kind
21:19
Speaker 5: of badly. One guy recently got shot and uh, one
21:23
Speaker 5: of the one of his his I don't favorite topics
21:27
Speaker 5: or one of the topics that came up the most
21:29
Speaker 5: because since he was on college campuses was how much
21:32
Speaker 5: college is a scam And he had all the facts
21:36
Speaker 5: and information to back it up, and he would use
21:38
Speaker 5: the student that would come forward and they would be appalled.
21:43
Speaker 5: I can't believe you're saying college is a scam, and
21:45
Speaker 5: he would just ask them, well, what are you taking,
21:47
Speaker 5: what are you going to use it for? Of course
21:51
Speaker 5: it's a scam. I mean, why would they make you
21:53
Speaker 5: take a course that has absolutely nothing to do with
21:57
Speaker 5: whatever your major is, whatever you're and the careers. But
22:02
Speaker 5: of course that really doesn't help with anything, doesn't matter what.
22:08
Speaker 1: It's gonna make you more. It's gonna make you I know,
22:11
Speaker 1: all a bunch of crap.
22:14
Speaker 5: It is, it is, and it is a scam, but
22:16
Speaker 5: it's what it is is. Also, it's big money. You
22:20
Speaker 5: come out against colleges, you come out against the pharmaceuticals,
22:25
Speaker 5: the healthcare system. Now now you're you're you're pointing your
22:29
Speaker 5: finger a big money. And they don't like that. They
22:31
Speaker 5: want to they want to rake in their billions of
22:34
Speaker 5: dollars and they don't want anybody saying boo about it. Well,
22:38
Speaker 5: we're saying boo about it. We're saying boo about everything.
22:41
Speaker 5: Oh you don't like the fact that we're we're not
22:43
Speaker 5: happy because we're giving money away to people who aren't
22:46
Speaker 5: even citizens of this country. Pardon me, I don't care
22:50
Speaker 5: what you're happy about. I'm pointing it out. It's not
22:53
Speaker 5: their money. You're taking money out of our pocket and
22:56
Speaker 5: you're giving it to people who.
22:58
Speaker 7: Have no reason to get it.
23:00
Speaker 8: It's not there, it's ours.
23:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, especially when they're taking so security. You took that
23:05
Speaker 5: out of my paycheck and told me that I would
23:08
Speaker 5: have something when I retire, and at all size point,
23:11
Speaker 5: today's gonna be silch one and I retire in like
23:14
Speaker 5: five years if I wanted to, and that ain't gonna happen. No,
23:18
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, we're pissed, We're not happy about it. We're
23:20
Speaker 5: going to point it out. And if you ever get
23:22
Speaker 5: a chance to get on CNN, make sure you end
23:26
Speaker 5: your interview by telling them. I've got at least five
23:29
Speaker 5: callers that end their call with don't vote Democrat, have
23:32
Speaker 5: a great weekend, Brian.
23:34
Speaker 1: And the add on of late don't vote Rhino and
23:38
Speaker 1: in a nod to my alma mater, in spite of
23:40
Speaker 1: the fact they made me take German and music appreciation
23:43
Speaker 1: and this is no slight to my German friends, by
23:45
Speaker 1: the way, I'm I guess on some level, I'm sort
23:47
Speaker 1: of kind of happy I took it but I'm a
23:49
Speaker 1: failure when it comes to understanding foreign languages. Admittedly, but
23:54
Speaker 1: at least with the twenty four to twenty five academic
23:55
Speaker 1: gear based on the same AI platform that Google uses.
23:58
Speaker 1: The University of Cincinnati four hundred and eighteen dollars per
24:02
Speaker 1: credit hour. You do the math. If you're taking let's
24:06
Speaker 1: just say college level fill in the bike algebra, something
24:09
Speaker 1: that is a science. It's concrete. It doesn't involve like
24:12
Speaker 1: things like two spirit real struggle over what that means.
24:17
Speaker 1: Two and two is still four. A guy in front
24:23
Speaker 1: of a class teaching whatever, like advanced college algebra or
24:26
Speaker 1: science or physics or something. The math is the same
24:29
Speaker 1: whether the guy in front of the room or woman
24:32
Speaker 1: this case maybe is teaching at University of Cincinnati or
24:36
Speaker 1: is teaching at Harvard. It's the same math. Two and
24:38
Speaker 1: two equals four. Whether you're paying thirty five hundred dollars
24:41
Speaker 1: a credit hour or four hundred and eighteen dollars. I'm
24:44
Speaker 1: going with the four hundred and eighteen dollars option. Cleveland
24:47
Speaker 1: al You're next. It's five thirty five right now. Do
24:49
Speaker 1: stack is stupid? First? Take Cleveland Alice. Call if he
24:51

Speaker 1: for holding over the brake there.
25:33
Speaker 5: Oh, good morning, Brian. I appreciate you taking my call.
25:37
Speaker 5: I will try to be quick because I really really
25:39
Speaker 5: enjoy the Friday stack of stupid. Yeah. So, first of all,
25:47
Speaker 5: Tom stole my thunder Charlie Kirk. His main point was
25:52
Speaker 5: proved me wrong. Never was he proved wrong? Uh. Secondly,
25:58
Speaker 5: I just wanted to stay that say that my father
26:02
Speaker 5: was able to send me to a small liberal arts
26:05
Speaker 5: college and grad school for less than one hundred thousand
26:10
Speaker 5: dollars back in the mid seventies, and because of my
26:14
Speaker 5: white privilege, I wasn't able to get any financial assistance
26:19
Speaker 5: and he did it all by himself. I had three boys, Yeah,
26:24
Speaker 5: I had three boys. My first one started college in
26:27
Speaker 5: twenty ten. I blew through one hundred thousand dollars in
26:30
Speaker 5: a year and a half.
26:31
Speaker 4: Deo.
26:33
Speaker 9: Yeah, oh my god.
26:37
Speaker 5: Yeah, I won't name the liberal arts college that happens
26:42
Speaker 5: to be very close to Mount Vernon, but.
26:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm blown away.
26:49
Speaker 4: Man.
26:49
Speaker 1: You know, we did send our daughter to Universal Ohio
26:53
Speaker 1: State University, four year undergrad degree in horticulture and a
26:57
Speaker 1: graduate degree in plant genetics, got a PhD or a
27:01
Speaker 1: master's and plat genetics. Nowhere near one hundred thousand dollars
27:05
Speaker 1: out nowhere near.
27:06
Speaker 5: Well well, yeah, this little school in the middle of nowhere,
27:13
Speaker 5: they they have, They've got nothing on Harvard, believe me.
27:21
Speaker 5: So the last, but not least, I think what we
27:24
Speaker 5: need to do is kind of pivot from don't vote
27:31
Speaker 5: Democrat or Rhino to don't vote politician. We need more
27:36
Speaker 5: statesmen in this country. Ye, and I'm just going to
27:41
Speaker 5: leave it at this. How do you how can you
27:43
Speaker 5: tell when a politician is lying.
27:47
Speaker 1: Their mouth is open and they're speaking.
27:50
Speaker 5: His their lips are moving. Yeah, all right, yeah, don't
27:54
Speaker 5: vote politician. All right, Thanks, have a good day.
27:56
Speaker 1: Thanks Sally. I appreciate that I have a T shirt
27:59
Speaker 1: that says fund politicians one of my favorites. Anyway, since
28:03
Speaker 1: Al wants it, and I always enjoyed doing the stack
28:05
Speaker 1: of stupid because Joe fills it with crazy naked people.
28:08
Speaker 1: That's where we're starting this morning. Melbourne, Florida, Florida and
28:14
Speaker 1: a naked guy that's never happens on a Friday, stagers
28:17
Speaker 1: stupid man accused of touching a woman and exposing himself
28:21
Speaker 1: in an inside a Dollar Tree in Melbourne, Florida. Police
28:23
Speaker 1: said Blake Walker Jones arrested earlier this week after an
28:27
Speaker 1: investigation into lude conduct. Reported to the touched one woman
28:32
Speaker 1: and committed leude acts toward two separate women women Rather sorry.
28:36
Speaker 1: Happened in July inside the Dollar Tree. Police said that
28:39
Speaker 1: he returned to the same location later in August, where
28:42
Speaker 1: he allegedly committed additional leude acts. Use your imagination, folks,
28:47
Speaker 1: charged with felling batter due to prior convictions and exposure
28:49
Speaker 1: of sexual organs. They're talking about that guy from slapshot
28:54
Speaker 1: Joe get deliberate penalties. Wow, after the headline on this one,
29:03
Speaker 1: I'm reluctant to even start reading it. I didn't pre
29:05
Speaker 1: read this one, which can get me into trouble. Joe
29:08
Speaker 1: loves pulling a ron Bergundy on me. Don't you Joe what?
29:11
Speaker 1: Australian doc worker got his job back after first being
29:14
Speaker 1: fired for, among other things, telling a colleague that he
29:19
Speaker 1: placed his penis on the colleague's subway sandwich.
29:23
Speaker 10: Do what the hell?
29:25
Speaker 1: Sixty to year old Robert Smith? No, not that guy
29:27
Speaker 1: fired from his job at que Ports, Melbourne. We've been
29:30
Speaker 1: working since O nine. His employer q Smith of showing
29:34
Speaker 1: a male coworker's bikini clad photos of women colleagues, telling
29:39
Speaker 1: one that he had spat and put his word in
29:43
Speaker 1: a subway sandwich, and calling colleagues a useless piece of
29:47
Speaker 1: excrement and condescending word followed by a word that I
29:51
Speaker 1: would never utter. It begins with the sea. Why are
29:55
Speaker 1: you doing that? No idea? Smith took his employer to
30:02
Speaker 1: the Australian Fair Work Commission arguing unreasonable dismission, with the
30:05
Speaker 1: Commission of ultimately ruling in his favor. Commissioner Scott Conley
30:09
Speaker 1: said the termination was harsh, unjust and unreasonable. Really, Cubasury
30:15
Speaker 1: in state mister Robert Smith by reappointing him to honor
30:17
Speaker 1: before twenty sixth September twenty five to the position in
30:20
Speaker 1: which mister Smith was employed immediately before dismissal anyway, Conley,
30:30
Speaker 1: the ruling entity, found that while there was a valid
30:33
Speaker 1: reason for dismissal arising from the Facebook incident, a final
30:36
Speaker 1: warning had already been issued as a consequence. He accepted
30:39
Speaker 1: he zoomed into the pictures of the two female co workers.
30:42
Speaker 1: He said. He also accepted, when pressed that the conversation
30:45
Speaker 1: in relation to his female co workers was in fact
30:48
Speaker 1: inappropriate for the workplace, well of great acknowledgment there, and
30:50
Speaker 1: that he should not have been using his phone while
30:53
Speaker 1: on shift to show pictures of colleagues to other workers.
30:56
Speaker 1: Now there's a lesson to be learned right there. Five
30:58
Speaker 1: forty five efty five cares that he talks. They more
31:00
Speaker 1: all look naked. People in the stack are stupid. I'll
31:02
Speaker 1: take phone calls though, as a preference, be right back.
31:05
Speaker 3: This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio Station by.
31:08
Speaker 1: Forty nine I fifty five Percity Talk station. Eric, thank
31:11
Speaker 1: you very much for the memory talking about the man
31:16
Speaker 1: putting his you know what on the subway sandwich. He
31:19
Speaker 1: sent me the clip from Bachelor Party starring Tom Hanks,
31:22
Speaker 1: and if you've seen the movie, you know exactly the
31:24
Speaker 1: scene that he sent to me involving Nick the well,
31:29
Speaker 1: you know Nick five, let's get her of the fundsy
31:32
Speaker 1: what Jay's got this morning? Jay, Welcome to the program
31:34
Speaker 1: every Friday.
31:36
Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, Brian.
31:37
Speaker 11: Since we're going to stay on the subway sandwich thing.
31:39
Speaker 11: I went to subway yesterday and I'm on the menu.
31:43
Speaker 11: There is an up charge for extra meat if you'd.
31:45
Speaker 1: Like to go down there. Just but I'm bump you
31:47
Speaker 1: wanted that, but I'm all right.
31:54
Speaker 7: Hey the happy.
31:56
Speaker 11: Happy day number three of independence?
31:57
Speaker 4: Did all the listeners?
31:59
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, some mass You're still alive?
32:01
Speaker 4: What I like to do?
32:03
Speaker 5: Yes?
32:04
Speaker 7: Not longly?
32:04
Speaker 11: Are You're still alive. But the most expensive thing you buy,
32:07
Speaker 11: which you can take a look at your past of
32:09
Speaker 11: is that line that says Bika, that's your federal income tax.
32:13
Speaker 11: And you are buying federal government by far more than gasoline, groceries,
32:17
Speaker 11: your mortgage or anything else. I took a look at
32:21
Speaker 11: how much money.
32:22
Speaker 5: Have we saved so far?
32:23
Speaker 11: If one point seven trillion dollars of discretionary spend is
32:28
Speaker 11: in jeopardy, which is only twenty seven percent of the
32:30
Speaker 11: total budget, we take one point seven trillion and divide
32:33
Speaker 11: it by three days. So far, we've saved five hundred
32:37
Speaker 11: and eighty eight thousand dollars. So we're trending that if
32:41
Speaker 11: we keep this thing shut down for a month, we're
32:46
Speaker 11: like up to how much money we gave the Cleveland
32:48
Speaker 11: Browns for a brand new stadium.
32:50
Speaker 12: So discretion, now continue the line of thought and try
32:59
Speaker 12: to figure a way of working in the streetcar in
33:01
Speaker 12: that conversation.
33:03
Speaker 11: Wow, sure, but you know this, I want every And
33:07
Speaker 11: there was a poll recently that talked about how many
33:10
Speaker 11: Republicans disagreed with, you know, the Democrats shutting the government down.
33:16
Speaker 11: It's the first time in my life that I've agreed
33:18
Speaker 11: with the Democrats to shut it down. And apparently there
33:22
Speaker 11: was only like five percent of US Republicans that you know,
33:25
Speaker 11: said yes, let their Democrats shut it down. But honestly,
33:27
Speaker 11: we would side with if the Republicans wanted to shut
33:30
Speaker 11: it down.
33:30
Speaker 5: For anybody else.
33:33
Speaker 11: The great Civics lesson is that you're still getting up
33:36
Speaker 11: in the morning, your life still goes on. It doesn't
33:39
Speaker 11: affect you at all, And we're saving a ton a
33:42
Speaker 11: ton of money. And originally this was not a full
33:45
Speaker 11: time job. This was federal government workers. And our politicians
33:50
Speaker 11: would go maybe I think it was, and you might
33:52
Speaker 11: know better than I do, Burn, but I think it
33:53
Speaker 11: was like you went for a month to go do
33:58
Speaker 11: federal government stuff, to be a s and then you
34:00
Speaker 11: went back home to run your farm or your business
34:02
Speaker 11: or whatever it was. But it was by no means
34:05
Speaker 11: meant to be a full time gig that it is today.
34:07
Speaker 11: So my hope is that it stays shut down. But
34:14
Speaker 11: in closing, whatever we do, if the government shut down,
34:17
Speaker 11: as long as we can, don't vote Rhinos and don't
34:20
Speaker 11: vote Democrats.
34:21
Speaker 1: There you go, Jay, I appreciate your call. Man, have
34:23
Speaker 1: a great weekend. Let us see here back to the
34:26
Speaker 1: stack of stupid Kuna, Hawaii, where a man there is
34:30
Speaker 1: accused of trying to rob a home using knives while
34:34
Speaker 1: naked and exposing himself to a young girl. Fifty seven
34:38
Speaker 1: year old Christov Snarski charge the first degree burgerleary, first
34:42
Speaker 1: degree terroristic threatening, second degree attempted assault, habitual property crime,
34:46
Speaker 1: and fourth degree sexual assault. The Aristocrats into September officers
34:52
Speaker 1: responded to call saying naked guy armed with knives was
34:54
Speaker 1: trying to break into a home in Nanowall Estates. During
34:57
Speaker 1: the incident, he allegedly threatened to and exposed himself to
35:01
Speaker 1: an eight year old girl do what back out? Arrested
35:06
Speaker 1: at nine am Thursday, he appeared in the Helo District
35:10
Speaker 1: Court where a judge maintained his bail at one hundred
35:12
Speaker 1: and thirteen thousand dollars and ordered an examination for fitness
35:17
Speaker 1: and penal responsibility phrasing referring to the incarceration system. I
35:22
Speaker 1: think Snarski's got to return to court in December. They
35:24
Speaker 1: want information from folks out there. If you have any information,
35:27
Speaker 1: they went their local crime stoppers number to be called.
35:29
Speaker 1: So if you're a victim, give them a shout. Naked
35:33
Speaker 1: guy naked man taking into custody outside the College of Business,

Speaker 1: University of Let's see unl video of the incident showing

Speaker 1: That he ultimately shows the man surrending to the police
36:33
Speaker 1: officers in the middle of the street. University said it's
36:38
Speaker 1: unable to comment. And finally, we've got a Tel Aviv
36:46
Speaker 1: where residents, including parents and children of alleged to have
36:48
Speaker 1: been harassed by a woman stripping and demanding money in
36:51
Speaker 1: exchange for reclothing herself interesting black metal tempt described as
36:58
Speaker 1: in her forties, The woman allegedly started stripping in the
37:00
Speaker 1: streets and public parks. One resident there, I'm walking with
37:04
Speaker 1: my two children in this park and suddenly she ran
37:07
Speaker 1: toward us naked. The children were very frightened. She asked
37:10
Speaker 1: for money so that she wouldn't undress again. So it
37:13
Speaker 1: turns out that this has happened to other residents as well.
37:16
Speaker 1: This is a reoccurring phenomenon and there is no solution.
37:20
Speaker 1: Another resident, Quota is saying it is an unreasonable situation
37:23
Speaker 1: that a woman undresses on the street and asks for money,
37:26
Speaker 1: stating the obvious in front of children and people, so
37:29
Speaker 1: are afraid to approach her lest she claimed to have
37:32
Speaker 1: been sexually harassed. Police and social services must find a
37:35
Speaker 1: solution as soon as possible. Police confirm they are aware
37:38
Speaker 1: of the situation after calls from local residents. They did
37:41
Speaker 1: attain the woman for questioning, but she continued stripping after
37:44
Speaker 1: being released. What police admitted quote We've tried to take
37:48
Speaker 1: action against her together with the welfare authorities, but so
37:52
Speaker 1: far without success. The woman who was in drug rehab
37:55
Speaker 1: did not finish the process and return to the streets.
37:58
Speaker 1: Were working with social services on an appropriate response, but
38:01
Speaker 1: as of now no solution has been found. All right,
38:05
Speaker 1: tech for send her to Gaza. Joe suggests, Well, that's
38:10
Speaker 1: an opportunity of possibility. Anyway, we've got plenty to talk
38:13
Speaker 1: about it before tech Friday. If you care to call in,
38:15
Speaker 1: please feel free to do that, and then Tech Friday
38:17

39:37
Speaker 1: Of course, Tech Friday with Dave Hatter every Friday in
39:39
Speaker 1: the morning show. Today, topic number one is really intriguing.
39:42
Speaker 1: I didn't read the article related to it, I'll admit,
39:45
Speaker 1: but the internet will be dead in three years. Second
39:48
Speaker 1: topic one bad password ruin the one ruins one hundred
39:51
Speaker 1: and fifty year old business. Plus Albania appoints an artificial
39:54
Speaker 1: intelligence bot as its minister to combat corruption. Think that's
40:00
Speaker 1: going to work out real well? Five three seven two
40:04
Speaker 1: three dog pound five fifty on AT and T funds.
40:06
Speaker 1: I guess Tesla's aren't bad anymore. On top of the
40:09
Speaker 1: air news, everybody's brothers buying Tesla's before the tax credit expires. Huh.
40:15
Speaker 1: I thought those things were fascist mobiles. She's not worried
40:20
Speaker 1: about getting vandalized anymore. That's your choice. I'd listened. Drive
40:23
Speaker 1: a Tesla if you want John Roman, my friend from cover,
40:25
Speaker 1: since he's got one of those Tesla plaids. Oh my god.
40:28
Speaker 1: Those things are like a rocket ship. The very impressive
40:33
Speaker 1: from a performance standpoint, but I still wouldn't own one.
40:35
Speaker 1: I certainly prefer my internal combustion engine, as do many
40:39
Speaker 1: other people. European unions waking up to that reality. Apparently
40:42
Speaker 1: they've driven the car manufacturing business into the toilet over
40:44
Speaker 1: in the EU. Anyway, why not stick with stick with schools.
40:51
Speaker 1: I started out with Harvard hiring Lahorer Bagistan as a
40:55
Speaker 1: visiting professor. This is a drag queen teaching a show
40:57
Speaker 1: on Rue Paul among and I more, I listen, you
41:02
Speaker 1: go ahead and hire whoever you want. You know me,
41:03
Speaker 1: Lil Oliver retire, and I don't care that there's transvestites
41:06
Speaker 1: out in the world. And Laharvajistan's free to do what
41:09
Speaker 1: he wants to do in his free time. And even
41:10
Speaker 1: teacher Carl class at Harvard. Remember you're paying more than
41:13
Speaker 1: three thousand dollars a credit hour there. But I was
41:15
Speaker 1: more upset about the classes he was teaching, because who
41:17
Speaker 1: in the hell needs to take a class at three
41:20
Speaker 1: four hundred dollars an hour on Rue Paul drag race
41:23
Speaker 1: and desire or queer ethnography.
41:29
Speaker 4: You know what the hell that is?
41:31
Speaker 1: Your student will not be a better person coming out
41:33
Speaker 1: the other side of that, and will not learn anything
41:35
Speaker 1: that is valuable too well, something that's going to feed
41:38
Speaker 1: and clothe and house them. And as we pivot over
41:41
Speaker 1: further information in school and I talked about this story
41:43
Speaker 1: the other day, but it's gotten legs. Ian Andre Roberts
41:46
Speaker 1: fifty one years old got fired by the Des Moines
41:48
Speaker 1: Public Schools. He was the head of the largest school
41:50
Speaker 1: district in Des Moines, thirty thousand students. Well, okay, so,
41:55
Speaker 1: as it turns out, in addition to being an illegal immigrant,
41:57
Speaker 1: which is why Ice picked him up, and he was
41:59
Speaker 1: a resident of Guyana and moved here, I guess late
42:04
Speaker 1: around he was not legally authorized or work in the
42:09
Speaker 1: United States since twenty twenty, so he showed up here
42:11
Speaker 1: prior to that got I think it was a student visa.
42:14
Speaker 1: But he lied. His resume was filled with lies. He
42:19
Speaker 1: claimed he attended MIT, he didn't, and he was in
42:24
Speaker 1: this position and he worked in academia for a very
42:27
Speaker 1: very long time. He also lied on other aspects of
42:30
Speaker 1: his resume. Rumored to have been also caught having sex
42:33
Speaker 1: with a female coworker on school property. He had a
42:35
Speaker 1: prior gun charge. He's involved in the criminal justice system,
42:39
Speaker 1: and there are records all over the place that everybody
42:41
Speaker 1: that went out looked for and found. He faked many
42:45
Speaker 1: of his credentials, according to the Des Moines School District's website,
42:50
Speaker 1: where they show what he had earned, but didn't an
42:53
Speaker 1: MBA at MIT's Sloan School of Management. When asked, a
42:57
Speaker 1: spokesperson for MIT said, we have no record of that.
43:03
Speaker 1: He also claimed to have attended Harvard and Georgetown. Those
43:06
Speaker 1: schools didn't respond to a request for verification from The
43:08
Speaker 1: New York Post, but you use your own imagination. Maybe
43:11
Speaker 1: they didn't respond because whoops, we didn't read flag that
43:15
Speaker 1: when he claimed to be a graduate of Harvard in Georgetown.
43:17
Speaker 1: Roberts also falsely claimed he had a doctorate degree from
43:20
Speaker 1: Baltimore's Morgan State University. When asked, the school official said
43:25
Speaker 1: he did not obtain a degree from that school. Earlier.
43:30
Speaker 1: Also was superintendent of Mill Creek Township Schools near Erie, Pennsylvania.
43:33
Speaker 1: He was in that role for three years, also on
43:37
Speaker 1: fake credentials. From my understanding, during that time, the district
43:40
Speaker 1: was apparently sued quite a bit, forced to pay out
43:42
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand dollars in a sex discrimination settlements claiming
43:46
Speaker 1: robert promoted less qualified women over more deserving men. That's
43:50
Speaker 1: all in court records. In his role at Des Moines Schools,
43:58
Speaker 1: again the largest district in the state, he ranked in
44:01
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty seven thousand dollars annually as his
44:04
Speaker 1: base salary. The school district there, though, insists it didn't
44:08
Speaker 1: break any laws and received all the appropriate paperwork to
44:11
Speaker 1: verify his employment eligibility, paperwork that was vetted by an
44:15
Speaker 1: employment agency apparently called Ray and Associates. At least when
44:18
Speaker 1: he was working for Mill Creek School District, they vetted him,
44:22
Speaker 1: they hired him after the vetting process, and that recruitment
44:28
Speaker 1: company didn't bother responding to request for common either court
44:32
Speaker 1: of the school district going to state, but the school
44:33
Speaker 1: district received all required clearances, including an FBI background check.
44:39
Speaker 1: Why prior to Roberts serving as superintendent, no dis buying
44:42
Speaker 1: events were identified Despite the fact this guy's all over
44:46
Speaker 1: the court record system. Did anybody from the recruiting firm
44:49
Speaker 1: bother calling MIT or Harvard or Georgetown and say, hey,
44:53
Speaker 1: by the way, did this Roberts guy attend and get
44:56
Speaker 1: a degree there? Because he's claiming he did. That would
44:58
Speaker 1: be a simple question to ask. And if you're a
45:00
Speaker 1: recruiting company and you're responsible for doing the vetting, you'd
45:02
Speaker 1: think that will be done as a matter of course. No,
45:07
Speaker 1: he had a twenty twenty firearms of violation, and of
45:11
Speaker 1: course when he was arrested by ice, he had a
45:13
Speaker 1: firearm in his car. Question, how can an illegal immigrant
45:17
Speaker 1: who was already subject to a detainment order acquire a
45:20
Speaker 1: firearm in the United States? Maybe a friend gave it
45:23
Speaker 1: to him, maybe he got it one of those evil
45:25
Speaker 1: gun shows. Anyway, the law prohibited him. He was not
45:33
Speaker 1: allowed to have a firearm, and he had a twenty
45:37
Speaker 1: twenty firearms violation charge on him. So there's two reasons. One,
45:41
Speaker 1: you're not a citizen in the United States, therefore not
45:43
Speaker 1: eligible to enjoy a right to keep him bear arms.
45:46
Speaker 1: And number two, that firearms violation, I'll further prohibit you,
45:49
Speaker 1: at least to some degree. So then you pivoted over
45:55
Speaker 1: to this thing in Maryland, which I was confused on yesterday.
45:58
Speaker 1: Actually thought if women at the State of Maryland, as
46:00
Speaker 1: are with the guy who public school district turns out
46:01
Speaker 1: the same thing active voter registration in the state of Maryland,
46:07
Speaker 1: which is raising all kinds of flags. First off, you
46:09
Speaker 1: get a giant red flag wing about the proper vetting
46:12
Speaker 1: that schools are engaged in for the people who are
46:15
Speaker 1: going to be teaching your children. They stand in local
46:20
Speaker 1: parentice under the law, they're basically your kids' parents while
46:24
Speaker 1: they have control over them. It's a big power. It's
46:26
Speaker 1: a lot of responsibility in those school districts owe you,
46:29
Speaker 1: the parent, a tremendous amount of responsibility when it comes
46:33
Speaker 1: to vetting people that are going to be working with
46:34
Speaker 1: your kids. Don't you think the guy lied about the credentials.
46:40
Speaker 1: So here's an empty vessel of intellect purportedly teaching your children,
46:46
Speaker 1: or at least running the entire system designed to teach
46:49
Speaker 1: your children. I mean and again they say, this guy
46:58
Speaker 1: has been in all kinds of schools. Chief school officer
47:01
Speaker 1: at Aspire Public School in Oakland, superintendent for public schools
47:04
Speaker 1: in Saint Louis, Missouri, principal at a high school in Washington,
47:07
Speaker 1: d C. And Baltimore, full time substitute teacher in the
47:11
Speaker 1: New York City public school system between two thousand and
47:14
Speaker 1: two thousand and one, all of that without credentials and
47:20
Speaker 1: without lawful citizenship. You know, I'm glad I'm past this
47:27
Speaker 1: time in my life. I'm glad my children are the
47:29
Speaker 1: age they are because this is the kind of thing
47:31
Speaker 1: I no longer have to personally worry about. But as
47:35
Speaker 1: a parent, and knowing how I feel about my own
47:37
Speaker 1: children and how protective I am, just generally speaking about
47:40
Speaker 1: my children like you probably are as well, this is
47:43
Speaker 1: serious stuff. Who's teaching your children? Did your school district
47:51
Speaker 1: properly vet the teachers in front of the classroom in
47:55
Speaker 1: your children's school? I would like to think so. But
47:58
Speaker 1: this has got me really worried. Yeah. And also another story,
48:02
Speaker 1: sort of a corollaria there, we got a twenty two
48:04
Speaker 1: year old man with a documented criminal history of indecent
48:09
Speaker 1: exposure who posed as a teenager and enrolled in a
48:12
Speaker 1: Minneapolis high school bear Lake Area Schools. Twenty two year
48:19
Speaker 1: old Kelvin Makaiah Lubke. They thought he was a seventeen
48:25
Speaker 1: year old. He was on the football team. He played
48:27
Speaker 1: as a running back, according to the principal at that school.
48:32
Speaker 1: We received reports that an individual enrolled at our school
48:34
Speaker 1: was over the age of twenty one, and promptly started
48:36
Speaker 1: an investigation. Upon our initial investigation, we've determined that while
48:41
Speaker 1: enrolling this individual, we followed our enrollment process, which is
48:45
Speaker 1: as rigorous as state law allows. The individual appears to
48:49
Speaker 1: have provided fraudulent documentation and false identity to enroll, which
48:55
Speaker 1: is kind of strange what they said versus what public
48:58
Speaker 1: records obtained by Fox and other local news outlets like
49:01
Speaker 1: KMSPTV there pointed out that he has a record of
49:07
Speaker 1: indecent exposure and harassment involving minors twenty twenty three Washington
49:11
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's reported documentation of allegations of indecent exposure and
49:15
Speaker 1: inappropriate online contact with juveniles public record. And this isn't
49:20
Speaker 1: like it's a public record for when the guy was
49:22
Speaker 1: a miner. That's a twenty twenty three record. He's currently
49:24
Speaker 1: twenty two years old. Do the math on that he
49:27
Speaker 1: was an emancipated adult when this happened. It's a public record.
49:34
Speaker 1: So again, who's mind in the store? Six sixteen, Hank,
49:41
Speaker 1: You're next, if you don't mind holding for a moment.
49:42

Speaker 1: my dad, I said, Hi, O defonser go. Hank was
51:13
Speaker 1: kind of up the hold over of the break. Welcome
51:14
Speaker 1: back to the Welcome to the show. Hank's good to
51:16
Speaker 1: hear from you.
51:18
Speaker 3: Yeah.
51:18
Speaker 9: Likewise, it's good seeing you at the Listener lunch Wednesday.
51:23
Speaker 9: It's kind of interesting getting to finally meet Christopher Smitherman,
51:28
Speaker 9: even though I'm not a resident of Cincinnati, and that's
51:30
Speaker 9: an interesting story all to itself. Really. I congratulated him
51:35
Speaker 9: on being in politics in spite of having common sense.
51:43
Speaker 5: Yeah.
51:43
Speaker 9: I actually had a real estate agent and I fired
51:47
Speaker 9: about thirty some odd years ago because my wife and I,
51:51
Speaker 9: looking for a house, told him we didn't want to
51:54
Speaker 9: live in the city of Cincinnati because at the time
51:56
Speaker 9: they were going through all that crap with the bull
52:00
Speaker 9: bands and the assault weapon bands and basically a bunch
52:04
Speaker 9: of foolishness in general. And he kept trying to show
52:07
Speaker 9: us houses in Cincinnati, and we finally just got somebody else.
52:11
Speaker 9: And he called back later after we bought a house
52:14
Speaker 9: and said, well, why didn't you use me? And I said,
52:16
Speaker 9: because you kept trying to sell it show us houses
52:18
Speaker 9: in Cincinnati, or we told you not to. He said, well,
52:22
Speaker 9: what's wrong with that? I said, well, if we tell
52:25
Speaker 9: you we don't want something, don't do it, and then
52:27
Speaker 9: I hung up on him. But you were going they
52:31
Speaker 9: were going on earlier about the useless classes in cold
52:37
Speaker 9: and yeah, well I actually thought of a situation where
52:42
Speaker 9: that class might come in handy a couple of them.
52:45
Speaker 9: One of them would be hr in some companies, and
52:49
Speaker 9: another one would be if you're a bureaucraft that has
52:52
Speaker 9: to explain two spirits to somebody, I kind of think
52:58
Speaker 9: that most of those guys actually have three spirits, that
53:01
Speaker 9: being curly Larry and.
53:03
Speaker 1: Mow Well stated, Well, stated, but yeah.
53:07
Speaker 3: You were.
53:07
Speaker 9: Another thing that I wanted to bring up, though, was
53:10
Speaker 9: also the crime in Cincinnati. I was turned on the
53:14
Speaker 9: news this morning, and the first thing I saw was
53:17
Speaker 9: about the couple of teenagers getting shot in a drive
53:20
Speaker 9: by down and over the rhine.
53:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that.
53:23
Speaker 9: Kind of goes back to my first point about not
53:25
Speaker 9: wanting to live in Cincinnati. And I'm kind of looking
53:29
Speaker 9: at all these people that have bought into the gentrification
53:33
Speaker 9: thing down there and thinking they must be feeling like
53:36
Speaker 9: people that are settled were settlers in Indian country back
53:40
Speaker 9: in the early eighteenth century or excuse me, early nineteenth century.
53:46
Speaker 9: You know, I imagine imagine being somebody that's paying, you know,
53:50
Speaker 9: twelve hundred dollars a month for an apartment and hear
53:53
Speaker 9: gunshots outside your windows.
53:55
Speaker 13: Yeah.
53:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is an unsettling reality and reality that I faced.
53:59
Speaker 1: And we were living in Logan Square in Chicago. We
54:01
Speaker 1: had gunfire out there and it just she sort of
54:04
Speaker 1: just ignore it, kind of like Sarah Herringer said when
54:07
Speaker 1: her husband got stabbed at us. She was here on
54:08
Speaker 1: the show recounting the story. And we were used to gunfire.
54:12
Speaker 1: We were numb to the idea that gunfire was going
54:15
Speaker 1: on down the street. You'd hear it and you just
54:16
Speaker 1: went on about your business. That's that shouldn't be normal.
54:22
Speaker 1: It really shouldn't. And to your point real quickly, my
54:25
Speaker 1: wife and I when we moved back from Chicago, we're
54:27
Speaker 1: looking for a house. We were trying to find a
54:28
Speaker 1: place on the West Side, of course, because I grew
54:30
Speaker 1: up in Dell High and my mom and dad were
54:32
Speaker 1: living over there. And one home that we loved, absolutely loved.
54:37
Speaker 1: It was within our price point. It was absolutely gorgeous,
54:40
Speaker 1: appointed like we liked, It had a really nice yard.
54:42
Speaker 1: It was just inside the city limits and that was
54:45
Speaker 1: enough for us to say no. And the reason school districts.
54:49
Speaker 1: Our kids were two and four at the time. They
54:50
Speaker 1: were looking at a whole K through twelve education in
54:53
Speaker 1: front of them, and we didn't want them getting educated
54:54
Speaker 1: in the sin St public schools because even back going
54:57
Speaker 1: back to nineteen ninety eight when we moved back, they
55:00
Speaker 1: had a very poor reputation. We wanted our children to
55:02
Speaker 1: get a better education, and back then, at least thanks
55:05
Speaker 1: to the Loveland School District for providing that based education,
55:08
Speaker 1: it seems to have served them quite well. Six twenty five.
55:10
Speaker 1: If you have KCD talk station, we're going to talk
55:13
Speaker 1: to Dave Hatter up next with Tech Friday, And first
55:15
Speaker 1: I want to mention my friends at Plumb Type Plumbing
55:18

Speaker 1: computer experts. Welcome back Dave Hatter for another edition of
56:39
Speaker 1: Tech Friday. Good to hear from you, my friend. I
56:41
Speaker 1: hope you're well.
56:41
Speaker 4: Oh always good to be here. Brian. It's good to
56:44
Speaker 4: see you this week too.
56:45
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, thanks again for showing at listener to lunch.
56:47
Speaker 1: I hope you had a good time. It was one
56:48
Speaker 1: of the bigger, big crowd. We had a real nice
56:51
Speaker 1: crowded Jim and Jack.
56:52
Speaker 14: So I thought so. To be honest, it's the first
56:54
Speaker 14: time I've been to Jim and Jack.
56:55
Speaker 1: So yeah. It's good for you to get across the
56:57
Speaker 1: river every once in.
56:58
Speaker 4: A while, Dave, I think I do, Brian, I do.
57:01
Speaker 1: It's good all right, So I rather intriguing topic headline anyway,
57:06
Speaker 1: And I did end up looking at the article, but
57:08
Speaker 1: the internet will be quote unquote dead in three years,
57:10
Speaker 1: not really, but sort of kind of intellectually dead as
57:13
Speaker 1: I think the direction we're going, right, Dave.
57:16
Speaker 14: Yeah, And I think to some extent that you see
57:20
Speaker 14: this already. I mean, if you think about it. In
57:23
Speaker 14: the last several elections, you know, you've heard about bots,
57:26
Speaker 14: and you know so much of X and various social
57:30
Speaker 14: media sites are made up of bots and it's.
57:31
Speaker 4: Not real human beings.
57:32
Speaker 14: And you don't have to look too far to find
57:35
Speaker 14: photos online of either. What in the business are known
57:39
Speaker 14: as boiler rooms, you know, con artists basically sitting in
57:42
Speaker 14: a room waiting to scam you and real quick. It's
57:44
Speaker 14: just kind of segue off for a second. Even though
57:47
Speaker 14: I tell people all the time you should not do
57:49
Speaker 14: what I did yesterday, I just couldn't resist the urge
57:52
Speaker 14: to mess with one of these scammers. So, you know,
57:55
Speaker 14: I got the text, you know, some weird off the
57:58
Speaker 14: wall question you know that had no real bearing. So
58:02
Speaker 14: I responded to it. Hey, scammer, you know, I'm with
58:05
Speaker 14: the FBI. Appreciate the you know, So I respond to them,
58:09
Speaker 14: and then I delete and block the number. And then
58:12
Speaker 14: they text me from a different number and same thing,
58:15
Speaker 14: and we go at this for about eight or nine iterations,
58:18
Speaker 14: and I'm like, hey, this is great fodder for my
58:20
Speaker 14: blog that explains to people how to avoid gammers. Like
58:23
Speaker 14: you please text me again. I just keep blocking the
58:25
Speaker 14: numbers and they keep coming at me from a different number. Right,
58:28
Speaker 14: I'm like, who in the world even if you didn't
58:31
Speaker 14: think this was a scam once you got, once you
58:33
Speaker 14: block someone and they came at you from like eight
58:35
Speaker 14: different numbers, wouldn't realize they're being scammed. But my point
58:39
Speaker 14: is you've got you know, bot farms of phone set up.
58:41
Speaker 14: You can find these pictures of these things going to
58:44
Speaker 14: town or computer server farms, and you know what this
58:48
Speaker 14: article is pointing out, they say, first servicing in twenty
58:51
Speaker 14: twenty one. The dead Internet theory is the idea the
58:53
Speaker 14: future Internet will be largely driven by autonomous spots rather
58:56
Speaker 14: than will were humans creating an endless content factory driven
58:59
Speaker 14: by the engaged of solely digital entities. The term slop
59:03
Speaker 14: has come up now thanks to AI, the idea that
59:07
Speaker 14: over time, is AI feeds off of itself and other ais.
59:12
Speaker 14: You have this idea of model collapse that instead of improving,
59:15
Speaker 14: it gets worse because it's not using real information. And
59:20
Speaker 14: that's yeah, exactly, that's extensively what they're trying to get
59:24
Speaker 14: at in this article in Popular mechanics.
59:26
Speaker 4: People should go read it for themselves. You know.
59:28
Speaker 14: Again, I think we're already seeing a good amount of
59:31
Speaker 14: this simply because a lot of the content that's generated
59:34
Speaker 14: now is either BOT driven or people are using AI
59:39
Speaker 14: to post things, which then AI reads ingest it, and
59:42
Speaker 14: again that leads to this idea of model collapse and slop.
59:45
Speaker 1: So let me use a real life illustration. These idiot
59:48
Speaker 1: lawyers who have artificial intelligence generate briefs that are submitted
59:52
Speaker 1: to court which contain false citations cases that do not
59:56
Speaker 1: even exist, which they could easily figure out by grabbing
59:58
Speaker 1: them the U you know, using west Law or Lexus
1:00:01
Speaker 1: and nexus and type it in there and realize, no,
1:00:03
Speaker 1: that's not a real case, which is any responsible lawyer
1:00:05
Speaker 1: has an ethical obligation to do before they show up
1:00:08
Speaker 1: in court. But the fact that that is out there,
1:00:10
Speaker 1: those fake cases, you can't get rid of it on
1:00:13
Speaker 1: the internet with a delete button. So some other AI
1:00:16
Speaker 1: entity which is ask a comparable question, is going to
1:00:18
Speaker 1: go back to the bad data and recite fake citations.
1:00:22
Speaker 4: That's exactly right. That's what I think.
1:00:23
Speaker 14: You know, it feeds off itself and or you know,
1:00:27
Speaker 14: wholly generated content like that. And in the article for
1:00:29
Speaker 14: Aunt of Time, it says another report from Peer Research
1:00:31
Speaker 14: Center estimates that thirty eight percent of most of the
1:00:34
Speaker 14: human web pages from twenty thirteen no longer exists a
1:00:37
Speaker 14: process of link rot. Because these developments behind the world
1:00:40
Speaker 14: of online content, it's easy to draw on the inevitable
1:00:42
Speaker 14: conclusion that the Internet is no longer for humans by humans.
1:00:46
Speaker 14: And you know, it's got more detail. It's a very
1:00:48
Speaker 14: interesting article. It's in Popular Mechanics. People should go check
1:00:51
Speaker 14: it out. But I think we've been trending that way
1:00:54
Speaker 14: for a long time. And you know, at one time
1:00:57
Speaker 14: I owned a business that's now gone. You know, we've
1:01:00
Speaker 14: published a lot of content then other than a website
1:01:04
Speaker 14: like Internet archive in the wayback machine, it's all gone.
1:01:07
Speaker 14: It no longer exists, right. So it's an interesting theory
1:01:11
Speaker 14: and probably mostly true, especially as people get revenue. People
1:01:17
Speaker 14: behind these bots can generate revenue by engagement and clickfarming.
1:01:21
Speaker 1: So well, maybe this will in fact render the whole
1:01:26
Speaker 1: thing useless. I'm not going to rely on artificial intelligence
1:01:29
Speaker 1: because it's so filled with crap that it's not going
1:01:32
Speaker 1: to help me. So I'm going to go back to
1:01:33
Speaker 1: doing it the old fashioned way. We can only pray.
1:01:36
Speaker 14: I think there's a possibility of that happening over time.
1:01:40
Speaker 14: Unless these things can improve drastically and eliminate this sort
1:01:44
Speaker 14: of slop and model collapse problem of feeding off themselves.
1:01:49
Speaker 14: I think we may be headed in that direction.
1:01:51
Speaker 1: Okay, And as Davis pointed out many times before, password
1:01:55
Speaker 1: one is not a good password. We're going to find
1:01:57
Speaker 1: out why that might be the case. Coming up next
1:02:00
Speaker 1: five or forty five Kcity Talk station as a firearms
1:02:03
Speaker 1: o aro on Thomas with Tech Friday's Dave hat or
1:02:05
Speaker 1: intrust dot com, where I think the first time they
1:02:09
Speaker 1: walk into your door at your business intrust it, they'll say,
1:02:11
Speaker 1: let me talk to you about passwords. Am I close
1:02:14
Speaker 1: on that one, Dave?
1:02:16
Speaker 14: It's definitely right at the top of the list, Brian,
1:02:18
Speaker 14: because as you know, as we've discussed for more than
1:02:22
Speaker 14: ten years now, and anywhere you look, experts will tell
1:02:26
Speaker 14: you the FBI, Microsoft people like that will tell you
1:02:29
Speaker 14: that most attacks are not sophisticated attacks trying to break
1:02:34
Speaker 14: into your firewall or something like that their quote identity
1:02:38
Speaker 14: attacks unquote they're focused on getting a user's credentials. They
1:02:41
Speaker 14: user name and password, and whether I buy them off
1:02:45
Speaker 14: the dark web because they've been leaked, or whether I
1:02:47
Speaker 14: guess them because people tend to use the same kind
1:02:50
Speaker 14: of bad passwords and we see that year after year
1:02:53
Speaker 14: after year and the information that's leaked, or I just
1:02:57
Speaker 14: use tools that are freely available to hackers. Just root
1:03:00
Speaker 14: force a password, run a computer program that just keeps
1:03:04
Speaker 14: going until it can break it. You know, those are
1:03:06
Speaker 14: all common ways the same information is being provided by again, Microsoft, Google,
1:03:12
Speaker 14: et cetera. About this, and then you see stories like this. Yeah,
1:03:16
Speaker 14: we talk about this a lot one and we encourage people,
1:03:19
Speaker 14: both as individuals and as organizations to ensure that you
1:03:22
Speaker 14: use strong, unique passwords for every account, ideally backed with
1:03:26
Speaker 14: multi factor authentication or other ways to ensure that accounts
1:03:32
Speaker 14: can't be easily taken over. Because I hear all the time, Brian,
1:03:35
Speaker 14: you know I go out and speak about this stuff
1:03:37
Speaker 14: a lot. Well, you know, I don't have anything worth stealing,
1:03:41
Speaker 14: So what if someone gets in my email? Well, if
1:03:43
Speaker 14: I get in your email, not only can I send
1:03:44
Speaker 14: out fraudulent invoices perhaps or something like that, something where
1:03:48
Speaker 14: I'm changing information for legitimate documents coming from your company
1:03:52
Speaker 14: and payments are going elsewhere. You know, I've seen people
1:03:56
Speaker 14: have money stolen from four oh one ks, but remember
1:03:59
Speaker 14: most of the if you have to reset a password
1:04:01
Speaker 14: for another account, it sends you an email. If I
1:04:04
Speaker 14: can get in your email, I can potentially reset the
1:04:06
Speaker 14: passwords for all of your accounts, your bank account, your
1:04:09
Speaker 14: corporate bank account, your insurance, et cetera, and steal all
1:04:12
Speaker 14: that money. But this is even more devastating because that's bad.
1:04:16
Speaker 14: And I could tell you real world stories where I've
1:04:18
Speaker 14: seen companies in Cincinnati that have lost tens of thousands
1:04:22
Speaker 14: to hundreds of thousands of dollars through things like I
1:04:25
Speaker 14: just described, like fraudulent invoices. But in this case, this
1:04:28
Speaker 14: was an English company, Knights of the Old Logistics Group,
1:04:33
Speaker 14: in business for one hundred and fifty eight years. Okay,
1:04:37
Speaker 14: they are now out of business. Seven hundred people gone,
1:04:39
Speaker 14: their jobs eliminated because this company failed. And when you
1:04:44
Speaker 14: read through the article, once they did the forensics to
1:04:47
Speaker 14: understand how the bad guys got in, they found an
1:04:50
Speaker 14: Internet exposed system. It had a bad password and no
1:04:53
Speaker 14: multifacture authentication. They got into that system, dropped ransomware that
1:04:58
Speaker 14: basically encrypt everything in the business. They figured out where
1:05:02
Speaker 14: their backups were. This is why it's critical to have
1:05:05
Speaker 14: immutable off site backups so that if and when something
1:05:09
Speaker 14: like this does happen, they can't get to your backups
1:05:12
Speaker 14: if they can encrypt your backups too, unless you pay
1:05:15
Speaker 14: the ransom. Apparently they wanted five million dollars. This company
1:05:17
Speaker 14: didn't have five million dollars and they're now gone. And
1:05:20
Speaker 14: I know this sounds crazy to people, Brian, but this
1:05:23
Speaker 14: is one of many cases like this where a ransomware
1:05:25
Speaker 14: attacked and lack of resiliency, the ability to restore the
1:05:29
Speaker 14: systems put a company out of business. So yeah, one
1:05:33
Speaker 14: hundred and fifty eight years down to drain. Seven hundred
1:05:36
Speaker 14: people lost their job.
1:05:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, that got to repeat that you have a
1:05:41
Speaker 1: bad password. You're using password one two three, which I
1:05:44
Speaker 1: think was the case here. That's not a good password.
1:05:47
Speaker 1: You are the one who did not address that issue. Now,
1:05:50
Speaker 1: some bad person out in the world was able to
1:05:52
Speaker 1: figure it out because you had such a simple password
1:05:55
Speaker 1: to crack. You, however, are responsible like your brother's keeper
1:05:59
Speaker 1: for the guy in the qube next to use job.
1:06:01
Speaker 1: And if you don't do the right thing, they are
1:06:03
Speaker 1: going to lose out. They're going to be fire or
1:06:05
Speaker 1: they're going to have a no longer have a job.
1:06:07
Speaker 1: I mean, this is seven hundred people are no longer
1:06:10
Speaker 1: employed because of one person.
1:06:14
Speaker 14: Yeah, one bad decision at the least right, because again,
1:06:18
Speaker 14: this may have been some firewall or something that doesn't exist,
1:06:21
Speaker 14: doesn't explain exactly what they attack to get in, but
1:06:24
Speaker 14: that your basic premise is right, Brian, someone made a
1:06:27
Speaker 14: bad decision. It could be your cubemate, it could be
1:06:31
Speaker 14: the it guy. But if I can get a foothold
1:06:34
Speaker 14: in your company because there's a bad password and no MFA,
1:06:37
Speaker 14: and let's be clear, MFA multifacture authentication is not bulletproof either,
1:06:42
Speaker 14: but it really raises the barah makes it much much
1:06:44
Speaker 14: more difficult. And there are things you can do that
1:06:46
Speaker 14: will make it even more difficult. But you know, if
1:06:49
Speaker 14: you're not doing these basic things in the business, it's
1:06:51
Speaker 14: called basic cyber hygiene or essential cyber hygiene. If you're
1:06:55
Speaker 14: not doing these basic things, if people have easily guessable
1:06:58
Speaker 14: or easily cracked passwords, if I can find an Internet
1:07:04
Speaker 14: exposed system.
1:07:05
Speaker 4: I can eventually wreak havoc like this on your company.
1:07:08
Speaker 4: You might not survive well, you said, eventually.
1:07:11
Speaker 1: We can't end this segment's conversation about this sentence in
1:07:15
Speaker 1: the in the in the In the article, research from
1:07:17
Speaker 1: Cousperski analyzing one and ninety three million compromise passwords found
1:07:23
Speaker 1: that forty five percent could be cracked by hackers within
1:07:27
Speaker 1: a minute. A Yeah, singular.
1:07:30
Speaker 4: Depressing, isn't it.
1:07:31
Speaker 14: I mean, at a minimum, you should have at least
1:07:34
Speaker 14: a twelve twelve character password, letter symbols numbers even better.
1:07:40
Speaker 14: Longer is always better, You know, eighteen characters better. I
1:07:44
Speaker 14: get that those are difficult to remember, the longer they get,
1:07:46
Speaker 14: and the more complex. Use a passphrase, Get a password manager.
1:07:50
Speaker 14: Come up with a word like green platypus sky, something
1:07:54
Speaker 14: that's easy to remember, easy to type, hard to guess
1:07:58
Speaker 14: because it doesn't mean anything in the real world. You know,
1:08:01
Speaker 14: throw throw a couple symbols in there, like a green
1:08:04
Speaker 14: use ease. That would be very hard to crack because
1:08:07
Speaker 14: it's not a word in the English dictionary. It's a meaningless,
1:08:11
Speaker 14: nonsensical phrase, easy to remember, easy to type, even better,
1:08:15
Speaker 14: Get a password manager.
1:08:16
Speaker 4: One pays harstword manager.
1:08:18
Speaker 1: All right, well, Dave, you go to LinkedIn dot com
1:08:21
Speaker 1: and just look for Dave Hatter. He posts all the
1:08:24

Speaker 1: hundred and fifty eight year old business that got put
1:09:02
Speaker 1: out of business and shut down because of one password
1:09:04
Speaker 1: faul fault. They pointed out they had that company had
1:09:09
Speaker 1: what was described as industry standard IT compliance and cyber
1:09:13
Speaker 1: attack insurance. Apparently not enough to keep the organization going.
1:09:17
Speaker 1: So don't hang your hat on the fact that you're
1:09:19
Speaker 1: insured for this risk, because it may be a hell
1:09:21
Speaker 1: of a lot worse than your insurance might cover.
1:09:24
Speaker 14: You know, Brian, you raised an interesting point. I recommend
1:09:26
Speaker 14: that every business should have cyber insurance. I figure, frankly,
1:09:30
Speaker 14: just going through the process of getting insurance, the questions
1:09:33
Speaker 14: they're going to ask you will give you a lot
1:09:36
Speaker 14: of insight into what you should be doing to protect
1:09:39
Speaker 14: your business.
1:09:40
Speaker 4: But you make a valid point, you know.
1:09:41
Speaker 14: I mean, if you have two million dollars worth of
1:09:43
Speaker 14: insurance but your risk is five million dollars, yeah, you
1:09:46
Speaker 14: might not recover. And I also want to point out
1:09:49
Speaker 14: and maybe we do this as a full blown topic
1:09:51
Speaker 14: next week, because it's critical. Again, I can't recommend enough
1:09:54
Speaker 14: that businesses have cyber insurance. That said, also when you
1:09:58
Speaker 14: go through the process of filling out the information to
1:10:00
Speaker 14: get the insurance. Hamilton, Ontario, Canada got hit with a
1:10:05
Speaker 14: ransomware attack.
1:10:06
Speaker 4: This is well documented.
1:10:07
Speaker 14: They filed a claim for their insurance company for wait
1:10:10
Speaker 14: for it, eighteen point three million dollars and then the
1:10:14
Speaker 14: insurance company said, no, dice, because you didn't do the
1:10:17
Speaker 14: things you said you were going to do, and thus
1:10:19
Speaker 14: we're not going to pay the claim.
1:10:20
Speaker 1: So you know, we don't need to do the AI thing.
1:10:22
Speaker 1: If you want to hold that one off, we can
1:10:23
Speaker 1: continue this because I'm kind of curious the insurance company
1:10:26
Speaker 1: is going to do. Basically, an actuary analysis is like
1:10:29
Speaker 1: getting a medical check before you get life insurance. They're
1:10:32
Speaker 1: going to come into your business and find out what
1:10:33
Speaker 1: you've got and what you don't have. They're going to
1:10:35
Speaker 1: give you a list of things you need to fix
1:10:36
Speaker 1: before they're insured or before you're insured, right, I mean,
1:10:39
Speaker 1: that's why it's important to do that you get the insurance,
1:10:42
Speaker 1: they're going to go through this analysis.
1:10:44
Speaker 14: So in most cases, companies like Coalition or cow Bell
1:10:47
Speaker 14: and by the way, cow Bell Coalition puts out great
1:10:50
Speaker 14: information every year that shows you what they're seeing out there.
1:10:54
Speaker 14: Because it's one thing to listen to a guy like
1:10:56
Speaker 14: me who's ultimately trying to sell you something, or Microsoft,
1:10:59
Speaker 14: he's all trying to tell you something. You could argue
1:11:02
Speaker 14: that like FBI, DHS says are less biased because they're
1:11:06
Speaker 14: not really selling you anything, but you have people telling
1:11:08
Speaker 14: you all the things you should do to defend against
1:11:10
Speaker 14: this stuff. If you look at what the insurance companies say,
1:11:13
Speaker 14: because then they got to come in and deal with
1:11:15
Speaker 14: the aftermath and this stuff, you'll often see that they're saying.
1:11:18
Speaker 14: They're telling you to do the exact same things the
1:11:21
Speaker 14: people in the front that are telling you to do.
1:11:23
Speaker 14: So in my mind, it just reinforces that what I'm
1:11:26
Speaker 14: saying you should do is what you should actually do.
1:11:28
Speaker 14: But to answer your question, in most cases, you're going
1:11:31
Speaker 14: to get a questionnaire. These questionnaires have grown over time.
1:11:35
Speaker 14: They ask you all kinds of questions. Do you have antivirus,
1:11:38
Speaker 14: what kind of antivirus is it? Is it updated? Do
1:11:40
Speaker 14: you patch your systems? You know that all these You
1:11:43
Speaker 14: have a password policy, do you use MFA? You have
1:11:46
Speaker 14: to fill these out right, and now you have attested
1:11:49
Speaker 14: that you're doing certain things and if you're not doing
1:11:52
Speaker 14: those things, because once an attack occurs and you final
1:11:55
Speaker 14: a claim, these insurance companies have forensics experts, of course,
1:11:59
Speaker 14: people who are specially trained, and that's all they do
1:12:02
Speaker 14: is forensics. They can dig into your systems and figure
1:12:04
Speaker 14: out what actually happened. Also critical after an attack, because
1:12:08
Speaker 14: if you don't find the root cause of the problem,
1:12:11
Speaker 14: they may hit the same hole again once you've paid
1:12:14
Speaker 14: them off. Right, These are not nice people, So when
1:12:18
Speaker 14: you go through this process again, it is instructive and
1:12:21
Speaker 14: enlightening for businesses to see these questionnaires and see the
1:12:25
Speaker 14: kind of questions they're asking, because you're going to find
1:12:28
Speaker 14: they aligned with the sort of advice people like Intrust
1:12:31
Speaker 14: and other people that focus on cybersecurity are giving. But
1:12:35
Speaker 14: I cannot stress enough again you should have cyber insurance.
1:12:38
Speaker 14: But if you do not know how to answer those
1:12:40
Speaker 14: questions correctly, and or you are lying on the answers
1:12:44
Speaker 14: to these questions, you're saying you're doing things you're not doing.
1:12:47
Speaker 14: Guess what when you file a claim, they're forensics experts
1:12:50
Speaker 14: are going to go, wait a minute, you said you
1:12:52
Speaker 14: did X, You're not doing X, and they're not.
1:12:55
Speaker 4: Going to pay.
1:12:56
Speaker 14: Now again, imagine you're a taxpayer Hamilton, Ontario have a
1:13:00
Speaker 14: devastating attack to the tune of eighteen point three million
1:13:02
Speaker 14: dollars that is at least, you know, theoretically insurable, and
1:13:05
Speaker 14: you're going to find a claim and the insurance company says, yeah,
1:13:08
Speaker 14: we're not going to pay. This is the second part
1:13:11
Speaker 14: of that existential threat. Like Knights of the Old they
1:13:14
Speaker 14: had insurance but they didn't have enough insurance. Or if
1:13:17
Speaker 14: the insurance doesn't pay, how do you survive? And I again,
1:13:21
Speaker 14: Brian I know this sounds far fetched to people, and
1:13:23
Speaker 14: they think it's never going to happen to them, But
1:13:25
Speaker 14: it does happen, and if you're not prepared a to
1:13:29
Speaker 14: defend against it, b to recover from it, whether that's
1:13:33
Speaker 14: backup systems in some combination of insurance.
1:13:36
Speaker 4: It may be the end of your organization.
1:13:39
Speaker 1: Hey, that rings loud and clear based upon that story
1:13:41
Speaker 1: in the last segment. Man, that's just it's this is
1:13:45
Speaker 1: something that's so easy to fix ahead of time that
1:13:48
Speaker 1: apparently it's so easy for them to hack in. I mean,
1:13:50
Speaker 1: you have every incentive in the world he Dave's and
1:13:53
Speaker 1: everybody else in the computer world's advice.
1:13:57
Speaker 14: I mean, I know it sounds crazy to people. Get
1:13:59
Speaker 14: people don't want to spend money on this stuff. I
1:14:01
Speaker 14: understand it. They don't want to create the you know,
1:14:04
Speaker 14: the perceived productivity impact and the friction. I understand all that.
1:14:07
Speaker 14: But you know, it's just like if you have a building,
1:14:12
Speaker 14: do you put sprinklers in it to keep it from
1:14:14
Speaker 14: catching on fire?
1:14:15
Speaker 4: And do you have fire insurance? Right?
1:14:16
Speaker 14: The sprinklers are the are the defensive, proactive piece. The
1:14:20
Speaker 14: insurance is the piece that comes in and.
1:14:23
Speaker 4: Saves you.
1:14:24
Speaker 1: Tries to make your hold.
1:14:25
Speaker 4: Something tragic happens.
1:14:26
Speaker 1: You know, Dave had are always always great advice. I
1:14:29
Speaker 1: appreciate what you do and your day to day business.
1:14:32
Speaker 1: Intrust it for what you're doing for the area businesses
1:14:35
Speaker 1: out there. Interest I dot Com find Dave and the crew. Dave,
1:14:38
Speaker 1: always a pleasure having you on the show. I appreciate
1:14:40
Speaker 1: your sound advice and emphasize to my listeners just do
1:14:43
Speaker 1: what Dave says. Davill talk next Friday, Man, I hope
1:14:47
Speaker 1: you have a wonderful weekend seven oh five. Here at
1:14:52
Speaker 1: fifty five kr CE talk station, have you Friday. Brian
1:14:55
Speaker 1: Thomas please to welcome a fifty five CARCA morning show
1:14:57
Speaker 1: Hamilton Township Chieve Scott. Here it is police Defarmer Chief Scott.
1:15:01
Speaker 1: He was welcome to the morning show. It's a real
1:15:02
Speaker 1: pleasure to have you on today.
1:15:04
Speaker 8: Good morning, Brian, Happy Friday.
1:15:06
Speaker 1: Right back at you, Scott. I appreciate that sharing the
1:15:08
Speaker 1: sentiment I feel on a Friday, happy happy happy. Senate
1:15:11
Speaker 1: Bill two seventy not happy and props to Signal ninety nine,
1:15:15
Speaker 1: who's a fellow law enforcement reformer law enforcement officer. She
1:15:18
Speaker 1: posts things all the time. She brought this up You
1:15:20
Speaker 1: had an excellent analysis on your Facebook page about Senate
1:15:24
Speaker 1: Bill two seventy, which is juvenile justice reform in quotes.
1:15:29
Speaker 1: But you've got a problem with this, and I think
1:15:31
Speaker 1: I'm really sharing your concern. So let's talk about what
1:15:34
Speaker 1: this is going to do. And honestly, a chief, I
1:15:37
Speaker 1: really want to know what is what's the answer to
1:15:40
Speaker 1: the why question, what's the motive behind this because it
1:15:42
Speaker 1: seems like we're going in the opposite direction with regard
1:15:45
Speaker 1: to how we plan on treating well criminal youth in
1:15:47
Speaker 1: our in our area. But let's talk about the specifics
1:15:50
Speaker 1: of spend it Bill two seventy.
1:15:53
Speaker 8: Well, thanks, Brian. My concern with Enville two seventy is simple.
1:15:56
Speaker 8: It makes accountability for juvenile offenders weaker at a time,
1:16:01
Speaker 8: but honestly, we need it's stronger. It raises the age
1:16:04
Speaker 8: for which you could commit someone to dys which is
1:16:07
Speaker 8: the Department of New Services. It blocks commitments for some
1:16:10
Speaker 8: first time at sellenty four or teventy fives, softening consequences
1:16:15
Speaker 8: for gun cases. And uh, you know, juvenile crime is
1:16:19
Speaker 8: out of control everywhere in this country, and we're seeing
1:16:22
Speaker 8: it right here in Moren County. We're seeing it in
1:16:24
Speaker 8: the tri state area, and what we don't need to
1:16:27
Speaker 8: be doing is going backwards. The answer to the why
1:16:30
Speaker 8: is simple. We have to start holding these these these
1:16:32
Speaker 8: juveniles accountable. These are not kids that are egg and
1:16:36
Speaker 8: cars and toilet paper in houses rights commit violent crimes.
1:16:41
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I guess my question of why is what
1:16:43
Speaker 1: the hell is the motivation behind Senator Paula Hicks, who's
1:16:45
Speaker 1: a Democrat out of Toledo, and Senator Nathan Manning, a
1:16:48
Speaker 1: Republican out of north Ridgeville, for sponsoring this and bringing
1:16:51
Speaker 1: up in the first place, because it's widely described as
1:16:54
Speaker 1: a bipartisan effort, and I kind of scratched my head
1:16:57
Speaker 1: over that because I think the vast majority of my
1:16:59
Speaker 1: listening audience shares exactly what the way you feel about this. Scott.
1:17:02
Speaker 1: We need to be tougher on juvenile crime. They need
1:17:05
Speaker 1: to have that that big giant red flag of their
1:17:08
Speaker 1: will be consequences if you commit crimes, and here's what's
1:17:11
Speaker 1: gonna happen, You're gonna get locked up. I mean, that
1:17:14
Speaker 1: is the deterrent element of the criminal justice system.
1:17:17
Speaker 4: Scott.
1:17:19
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't. I don't know what some of these
1:17:21
Speaker 8: politicians are thinking. I can I can tell you this,
1:17:23
Speaker 8: I don't know if they've consulted anyone who's actually got
1:17:25
Speaker 8: boots on the ground. And that's probably one of the
1:17:27
Speaker 8: most frustrating parts about a lot of these bills that
1:17:29
Speaker 8: we see UH being being pushed down from columbuses. Where
1:17:33
Speaker 8: who are they talking to when they're coming up with
1:17:36
Speaker 8: these ideas, Because if they talk to the if they
1:17:38
Speaker 8: talk to the locals, if they talk to the police chiefs,
1:17:40
Speaker 8: the sheriffs, the prosecutors in these counties, they're going to
1:17:44
Speaker 8: find that we are to your point, So we need
1:17:47
Speaker 8: to go to the complete opposite direction of this UH
1:17:51
Speaker 8: and hold and hold these guys and guys accountable.
1:17:53
Speaker 1: Well, let's focus on the issue. For example, stealing cars
1:17:57
Speaker 1: isn't isn't that grand theft? Auto Scott? I mean that
1:18:00
Speaker 1: what they used to call it?
1:18:01
Speaker 5: Correct?
1:18:01
Speaker 8: Okay, that's right, that's right.
1:18:02
Speaker 1: Well, you cite a specific illustration from Warren County where
1:18:06
Speaker 1: you are twenty twenty five, just recently traveling Juno. This
1:18:10
Speaker 1: is organized crime. Let my listeners know about this particular
1:18:12
Speaker 1: circumstance which you cited on your post.
1:18:15
Speaker 8: Yeah. Sure, So, over the last several years, we've had
1:18:18
Speaker 8: an influx of juveniles coming into places like Warren County.
1:18:23
Speaker 8: Most of them are coming in from Cincinnati, or they're
1:18:26
Speaker 8: coming down from Dayton, and they're coming down in groups,
1:18:29
Speaker 8: and I know the same group as even a targeted
1:18:33
Speaker 8: Northern Kentucky specifically Boom County. And they're coming down in
1:18:37
Speaker 8: groups in stolar vehicles and they're basically canvassing neighborhoods and
1:18:42
Speaker 8: they're walking through these neighborhoods in the overnight hours when
1:18:45
Speaker 8: they should be sleeping ready for school the next day,
1:18:48
Speaker 8: and they're looking for unlocked cars, and they're breaking into
1:18:51
Speaker 8: cars and they're grabbing anything they can of value, and
1:18:54
Speaker 8: if the keys are in the car, they're stealing these cars.
1:18:57
Speaker 8: And I'm being told that there are adults that are
1:19:01
Speaker 8: behind organized groups because the adults know that the kids
1:19:06
Speaker 8: will not get in trouble if they're caught, and they
1:19:11
Speaker 8: are one hundred percent correct. These kids are not being
1:19:14
Speaker 8: held accountable. It's so bad, Brian, your listeners need to
1:19:17
Speaker 8: know this. Somebody reached out to me after that post
1:19:20
Speaker 8: and said, the best job in government is working in
1:19:22
Speaker 8: juvenile detention centers. And it's simple because there's no one there.
1:19:26
Speaker 8: Right We take these kids to juvenile detention centers across
1:19:31
Speaker 8: this state, and the minute that they walk in the door,
1:19:34
Speaker 8: they're on the phone with a parent or a guardian
1:19:37
Speaker 8: telling them to come pick them up because they don't
1:19:39
Speaker 8: hold them. Well, there's no consequence. If you know you're
1:19:41
Speaker 8: going to get right back out, then what's the return
1:19:44
Speaker 8: to go out and stop committing.
1:19:45
Speaker 1: Crimes right and and chief. That's under the current law,
1:19:48
Speaker 1: which this particular bill center Bill two seventy will make
1:19:51
Speaker 1: even weaker.
1:19:54
Speaker 8: That's right, that's right, we're over. They already dismiss charges,
1:19:57
Speaker 8: even serious ones. We've seen gun charge. We had a
1:19:59
Speaker 8: k civil Warren County where a judge under rule nine
1:20:04
Speaker 8: dismissed a gun charge on a kid because he didn't
1:20:06
Speaker 8: want to commit him to dys and wait for it.
1:20:10
Speaker 8: Guess what happens. He hands up using a gun and
1:20:12
Speaker 8: getting in recommitting. There's zero consequences for these kids actions.
1:20:17
Speaker 1: Oh my, Well, you know you talked about organized crime, sir.
1:20:21
Speaker 1: I mean juveniles are not protected as juveniles from being
1:20:25
Speaker 1: charged with RICO. You got more that you have organized
1:20:27
Speaker 1: criminal activity even though they're fourteen years old. They are
1:20:30
Speaker 1: out there at the best that somebody else were working
1:20:32
Speaker 1: together with other cohorts, any coordinated effort to commit crimes
1:20:36
Speaker 1: that is right in Rico's wheelhouse, isn't it?
1:20:40
Speaker 8: One hundred percent? Absolutely, you're spot on. If if we
1:20:45
Speaker 8: were able to charge these serious offenders, and again, these
1:20:49
Speaker 8: aren't kids stealing candy bars from speedway, these are serious
1:20:52
Speaker 8: offenders who who know what they're doing, if we were
1:20:55
Speaker 8: able to hold these young men and women to the
1:20:59
Speaker 8: same stands that we can to your point, federally, h
1:21:04
Speaker 8: we could put a dent in this. But until we
1:21:06
Speaker 8: have meaningful change, not things like center Pill two seventy,
1:21:10
Speaker 8: until we have meaningful change from people who want to
1:21:13
Speaker 8: make a difference. Unfortunately, we're just going to continue kicking
1:21:17
Speaker 8: this can down the road, and we're going to have
1:21:19
Speaker 8: more victims. I just saw it. I think last night.
1:21:22
Speaker 8: I saw in the news. This morning we had what
1:21:24
Speaker 8: two kids shot in Cincinnati again juvenile. Yeah, yeah, I
1:21:29
Speaker 8: pointed out in my article or excuse me on my
1:21:31
Speaker 8: Facebook post. Let's not forget that. In September of two thousand,
1:21:36
Speaker 8: the officer Kevin Crayon from the Cincinnati Department was murdered
1:21:40
Speaker 8: murdered by a twelve year old kid twelve or thirteen
1:21:45
Speaker 8: driving a stolen vehicle. Kevin Kran reached in that car,
1:21:48
Speaker 8: tried to take the keys out ignition. The kid take
1:21:50
Speaker 8: took off and caused Kevin to be drugged to his death.
1:21:53
Speaker 8: And you know he got hit by a car come
1:21:55
Speaker 8: the other way, that kid under Tidbill two seventy. If
1:21:58
Speaker 8: that's not classified as if crime, he's not doing he's
1:22:03
Speaker 8: not doing d ys time. And that's ridiculous. That's ridiculous.
1:22:06
Speaker 4: Wow.
1:22:07
Speaker 1: Well, I suppose in a perfect world, Chief Scott Hughes
1:22:12
Speaker 1: with the Hamilton Township Police. What else in the I
1:22:16
Speaker 1: mean obviously that this, to me and to you is
1:22:18
Speaker 1: the wrong way to go. Softening the consequences for crime
1:22:21
Speaker 1: is not good. We want to make the crime, make
1:22:24
Speaker 1: it harder and more difficult on them. When to get
1:22:26
Speaker 1: caught for committing these hainting his crimes? What else is
1:22:28
Speaker 1: wrong with the system with juveniles? I mean, you mentioned
1:22:31
Speaker 1: the fact that these juvenile detention centers are just empty shells?
1:22:34
Speaker 1: Is that something that if you had to suggest or reform,
1:22:37
Speaker 1: Is there something we can do to make them, you know,
1:22:39
Speaker 1: worthwhile an actually legitimate part of the criminal justice system.
1:22:43
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm at a loss to how this
1:22:45
Speaker 1: all has just sort of fallen apart over the year.
1:22:47
Speaker 8: Scott, Well, I think I think I think the facilities
1:22:52
Speaker 8: are not because the kids stopped creating crimes. Right the
1:22:55
Speaker 8: court stops cinemama, and you know, we talk all about rehabilitation.
1:22:59
Speaker 9: We want to work ability.
1:23:00
Speaker 8: People, and listen, I'll be the first to tell you
1:23:02
Speaker 8: if someone can be rehabilitated and turned into productive citizen,
1:23:05
Speaker 8: sign me up, right, But accountability comes first, Right, Your
1:23:10
Speaker 8: first felamy should be a wake up call, not a
1:23:12
Speaker 8: free pass. If you're out there committee felonies, you have
1:23:15
Speaker 8: already been promoted to the higher level. So we've got
1:23:20
Speaker 8: the tools in place. Fill the detention beds, stop dismissing
1:23:23
Speaker 8: serious cases, and start sending the message from the judges
1:23:27
Speaker 8: that crimes have consequences. You know, I'm being told too
1:23:30
Speaker 8: after that post. Excuse me that that some of the
1:23:34
Speaker 8: schools are being told when they've got these kids committing
1:23:37
Speaker 8: committee violations inside schools to stop filing charges because the
1:23:40
Speaker 8: courts aren't going to do anything to them. That's insane,
1:23:43
Speaker 8: It's absolutely insane.
1:23:44
Speaker 1: Chief Hughes, I think you really have kind of got
1:23:47
Speaker 1: to the point of the problem here. It's not necessarily
1:23:50
Speaker 1: the prosecutor's office and walk prosecutors. Although you're comment about
1:23:53
Speaker 1: them dismissing these serious cases does suggest that. But maybe
1:23:57
Speaker 1: they're being dismissed because they know on the tail end
1:23:59
Speaker 1: when they're finding in front of a judge, the judge
1:24:01
Speaker 1: is going to treat them leniently and not h and
1:24:04
Speaker 1: and and not sentence them either to a juvenile detention
1:24:07
Speaker 1: center or what. There's going to be no consequences because
1:24:10
Speaker 1: the judge is light on or soft on crime. So
1:24:13
Speaker 1: we have a judicial problem.
1:24:15
Speaker 15: I guess primarily, I would agree one hundred percent votes matter, right,
1:24:20
Speaker 15: they want to pay attention when they go to those
1:24:22
Speaker 15: when they go to that ballot box who they're voting for,
1:24:25
Speaker 15: and pay attention to what they stand for, look at
1:24:28
Speaker 15: their record and look at what they support and what
1:24:30
Speaker 15: and what they don't support.
1:24:32
Speaker 8: And uh, that's that's certainly the step in the right direction.
1:24:37
Speaker 4: We need to be taken.
1:24:38
Speaker 3: It is.
1:24:38
Speaker 1: And in terms of elected officials, these some people, some
1:24:41
Speaker 1: elected officials like well these two Senator Hudson and Nathan
1:24:45
Speaker 1: Senator Manning, Republican Democrat one each maybe pick better elected
1:24:50
Speaker 1: officials when we're at the ballot box as well.
1:24:54
Speaker 8: Well, yeah. Absolutely. When these when these detention centers are
1:24:57
Speaker 8: sitting empty, but we're still facing the crimes that we're facing.
1:25:01
Speaker 8: Something's broken and this CENTERBIL two seventy is not the answer.
1:25:04
Speaker 8: It's making accountability weaker and not a recipe for success.
1:25:08
Speaker 1: Oh jeez, well, chiefus, you know what. I appreciate your
1:25:12
Speaker 1: willingness to go out there and point this out to
1:25:13
Speaker 1: the rest of us, and maybe there is something we
1:25:15
Speaker 1: can do about it. I'll encourage my listeners to contact
1:25:17
Speaker 1: their elected officials and say no to cent A bill
1:25:21
Speaker 1: to seventy. Chief Scott Hughes, Hamilton Township Police Department, Thank you,
1:25:26
Speaker 1: sir for the work that you do. Obviously it's a
1:25:28
Speaker 1: challenge these days. We all here in the Morning show
1:25:31
Speaker 1: have your back and all other law enforcements back. You're
1:25:33
Speaker 1: doing a great service to our communities. We truly appreciate it.
1:25:36
Speaker 1: And keep up the great work and stay safe out there.
1:25:40
Speaker 8: Thanks Brian, having great week.
1:25:41
Speaker 1: Appreciate you having me on my pleasure. You got any
1:25:43
Speaker 1: further updates or comments or issues you want to talk about,
1:25:46
Speaker 1: You got an open form here on the fifty five
1:25:47
Speaker 1: KC Morning Show. Diane tellis born. Remember the empower you
1:25:51
Speaker 1: and adult leader for the brand new Turning Point USA
1:25:55
Speaker 1: Club within empower You. So it's an empower You Turning
1:25:59
Speaker 1: Point Club. She's going to join the PARGM. In the
1:26:01
Speaker 1: next segment, we'll talk about what they're going to planning on,
1:26:03
Speaker 1: what they're planning on doing, what is the Turning Point
1:26:05
Speaker 1: Club that empower you? And they need a place to meet,
1:26:09
Speaker 1: So we're going to see if we can't help Diana
1:26:11
Speaker 1: in the new Turning Point Club find a venue for
1:26:14
Speaker 1: their meetings. And if you know of a place, maybe
1:26:17
Speaker 1: someone at the Classical Academy since Ant Classical Academy that
1:26:22
Speaker 1: sounds like an ideal fit. Maybe the new Blue Ash Campus.
1:26:24
Speaker 1: I'm just throwing it out there as a suggestion. Maybe
1:26:26
Speaker 1: if someone with the since Ant Classical Academy might know
1:26:28
Speaker 1: if they've got a venue that might hold the Turning
1:26:30
Speaker 1: Point USA chapter. That's one possibility, but we'll get the
1:26:35
Speaker 1: word out anyway. In the next segment, find out what
1:26:37
Speaker 1: they're all about, and real quick here, since we were
1:26:40
Speaker 1: doing Tech Friday with Dave had He earlier. I really
1:26:44
Speaker 1: don't know if this is true or not, and it's
1:26:46
Speaker 1: starting to circulate on social media, but I can't find
1:26:48
Speaker 1: a real, genuine, reliable source. Now the source that sided
1:26:52
Speaker 1: with this is USA Today. However, the link, although starting
1:26:55
Speaker 1: out with USA Today, goes on with this long rambling
1:26:58
Speaker 1: something or other that does not look anything like USA Today.
1:27:01
Speaker 1: So the IP address very questionable. And I did a
1:27:06
Speaker 1: search for the headline and only came up with the
1:27:11
Speaker 1: repost on Facebook as well as the original so called
1:27:15
Speaker 1: USA Today article, although it's not flying under a banner
1:27:18
Speaker 1: of USA Today headline. Philly's Karens Who's MLB? After getting fired?
1:27:23
Speaker 1: He all remember the viral video the woman who took
1:27:25
Speaker 1: the ball away the little kid had it, or actually
1:27:27
Speaker 1: his dad got the ball that went into the stands
1:27:30
Speaker 1: gave it to his son. She came over and demanded it,
1:27:32
Speaker 1: and he gave it to her, and everybody got all outraged.
1:27:34
Speaker 1: Viral video literally went everywhere, just millions and millions, a
1:27:38
Speaker 1: hit hits, and of course they continue to play it
1:27:41
Speaker 1: over and over again. She's in this alleged lawsuit. Again,
1:27:45
Speaker 1: I'm red flagging this as a question mark. She apparently
1:27:48
Speaker 1: lawyered up and sued MLB and social media sites like TikTok,
1:27:52
Speaker 1: and because she got humiliated, she got apparently this article
1:27:58
Speaker 1: I suggested, I don't know if it's true or not. Again,
1:28:00
Speaker 1: giant red flag. Before you conclude something is real, you
1:28:03
Speaker 1: might want to go out into the world and do
1:28:04
Speaker 1: a little bit of research. So it's critical of these
1:28:07
Speaker 1: idiot lawyers who let artificial intelligence generate briefs for them
1:28:10
Speaker 1: and they don't go back to the real case law
1:28:11
Speaker 1: and see if the cases are actually genuine or just
1:28:13
Speaker 1: made up by AI. So this has some red flaggy
1:28:18
Speaker 1: type stuff to it. It's more of an editorial type article.
1:28:20
Speaker 1: But the alleged allegation is that she had her life
1:28:23
Speaker 1: ruin and she's seeking damages for defamation exploitation of her image,
1:28:27
Speaker 1: arguing that while everyone was laughing other and made money
1:28:30
Speaker 1: off of her video. I don't know how they did that.
1:28:32
Speaker 1: If they did, except the MLB, if they ran it
1:28:35
Speaker 1: over and over again because they were getting clicks and
1:28:37
Speaker 1: hits and attraction, they would make money. But I think
1:28:42
Speaker 1: the suggestion here for me anyway, is listen, you have
1:28:46
Speaker 1: no expection of expectation of privacy when you're out in
1:28:48
Speaker 1: the world. You know everybody's got a camera these days.
1:28:54
Speaker 1: You got to realize that and appreciate it. That's why
1:28:56
Speaker 1: I always laugh at criminals these days. Don't you realize
1:28:59
Speaker 1: that there are video cameras recording your crime. You didn't
1:29:01
Speaker 1: even bother putting a mask on when you went in
1:29:03
Speaker 1: to rob the convenience store. You're going to be found. Well,
1:29:08
Speaker 1: you're not a criminal, but you're out in public. There
1:29:11
Speaker 1: could be a guy standing across the street filming your
1:29:13
Speaker 1: every move and there's nothing you can do about that. Now,
1:29:17
Speaker 1: generating income based upon your image. That's an area that
1:29:19
Speaker 1: I'm not entirely familiar with, and I think there may
1:29:22
Speaker 1: be something to that. But you know, some guy reposting
1:29:25
Speaker 1: a video of something going on in the streets. I
1:29:27
Speaker 1: don't know that you're going to make any money off
1:29:29
Speaker 1: posting that, but it could be entertaining for the rest
1:29:32
Speaker 1: of the world to watch, especially if you're engaged in
1:29:34
Speaker 1: embarrassing or beyond the pale type of conduct. So I
1:29:39
Speaker 1: doubt some part of me wants to say this is
1:29:41
Speaker 1: not true, but litigation myth number twenty seven. Your claim
1:29:46
Speaker 1: must have merit. My lawyer friends laugh at that. Just
1:29:50
Speaker 1: because somebody filed a casuit doesn't mean they have a
1:29:52
Speaker 1: legitimate claim. There are lawyers out there who will ignore
1:29:55
Speaker 1: the realities of the likelihood of a victory in any case,
1:29:57
Speaker 1: and nonetheless move forward. Why because is a likelihood of
1:30:01
Speaker 1: a quick settlement, It's not worth them lawyering up and
1:30:04
Speaker 1: responding to your complaint and charge getting charge five hundred
1:30:07
Speaker 1: plus dollars per hour for a lawyer, which is a
1:30:09
Speaker 1: lot cheaper than a credit hour at Harvard. I might
1:30:11
Speaker 1: interject for my conversation earlier, but you might get a
1:30:15
Speaker 1: check for one thousand dollars, your lawyer will take half
1:30:17
Speaker 1: of it, and you'll go home with five hundred. But
1:30:19
Speaker 1: in the ultimate analysis, the claim itself does not seem
1:30:22
Speaker 1: to have merit but anyway too full. Reason for that,
1:30:26
Speaker 1: you have no expectation of privacy, so mind your p's
1:30:30
Speaker 1: and cues unless you don't care. And the concerns about
1:30:33
Speaker 1: artificially and artificial intelligence generated, well, stuff floating around out
1:30:37
Speaker 1: there that people immediately assume are accurate. I checked. One
1:30:41
Speaker 1: of my best friends has got is a meme guy,
1:30:43
Speaker 1: and quite often it'll send memes and I like, did
1:30:45
Speaker 1: you look into that?
1:30:46
Speaker 4: Is that true?
1:30:47
Speaker 1: And I will look into it, and of course it's
1:30:48
Speaker 1: not true. Don't send me things that aren't true. Look first.
1:30:52
Speaker 1: If it's true, go ahead, hit the send button seven
1:30:55
Speaker 1: twenty five right now. If if you've got cares, it's
1:30:58
Speaker 1: seven twenty nine, if fifty five care City Talk Station.
1:31:01
Speaker 1: Try to have happy Friday and maybe start yourself at
1:31:06
Speaker 1: Turning Point USA chapter. Everyone's doing it these days. Of course,
1:31:10
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk, the founding member of Turning Point USA, extraordinary
1:31:13
Speaker 1: accomplishments in his thirty short years of life. Obviously, you
1:31:16
Speaker 1: know the story behind Charlie Kirk's assassination is just a
1:31:20
Speaker 1: heinous act, unforgivable, but something that I think made a
1:31:24
Speaker 1: massive martyr out of Charlie Kirk and has allowed him,
1:31:27
Speaker 1: even in death, to extend even further his sound message
1:31:31
Speaker 1: of open debate and exchange of ideas thoughtfully without anger
1:31:36
Speaker 1: and violence. And someone who knows all about that, Diana
1:31:39
Speaker 1: tell us, who's here to talk about a new Turning
1:31:41
Speaker 1: Point USA chapter under in the Empower You umbrella. Diana,
1:31:45
Speaker 1: it's welcome to the program. Thanks for coming on today.
1:31:48
Speaker 3: Well, thanks for having me, it's good to be here.
1:31:51
Speaker 1: You work with Dan Regnold of Empower You on this one.
1:31:55
Speaker 3: I am yeah. So I recently had joined the board
1:31:58
Speaker 3: and he had questioned what kind of time I could give,
1:32:01
Speaker 3: and in that conversation. I mentioned that my son, my
1:32:04
Speaker 3: youngest Michael, who is homeschools, had asked me to start
1:32:07
Speaker 3: a Turning Point chapter actually last year, and I had
1:32:11
Speaker 3: been trying to work that out, thinking about the possibilities
1:32:13
Speaker 3: within the homeschool community, and he said to me, well,
1:32:17
Speaker 3: why don't you do that through empower you? And that
1:32:19
Speaker 3: offer was just I couldn't have asked for a better offer.
1:32:25
Speaker 3: To serve the students I writer Cincinnati, and to have
1:32:28
Speaker 3: some faith. And he knows a lot of people. He's
1:32:30
Speaker 3: great to work with and is very, very connected, far
1:32:33
Speaker 3: more connected than I am.
1:32:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's more connected than any of us could ever
1:32:37
Speaker 1: hope to be. Assuming we want to be connected, Diana,
1:32:39
Speaker 1: Dan's a great guy.
1:32:40
Speaker 3: We want to be connected. He's the guy to start with.
1:32:42
Speaker 1: Sure and for a Turning Point USA chapter. I gotta
1:32:45
Speaker 1: haven't I have an idea? Dan Reagunill firmly embraced this concept.
1:32:49
Speaker 1: Now do you need?
1:32:51
Speaker 4: Yeah?
1:32:51
Speaker 1: Does does one? In order to start a TPUSA And
1:32:54
Speaker 1: for my listeners, go to the website tp USA Turningport
1:32:57
Speaker 1: USA TPUSA dot com. Uh does it need to be
1:33:00
Speaker 1: beneath an educational institution? I know a lot of these
1:33:04
Speaker 1: Turning Point USA chapters are present or on or alive
1:33:08
Speaker 1: and well on college campuses just like any other college
1:33:11
Speaker 1: campus organization. But like, let's just say, Diana, if you
1:33:14
Speaker 1: wanted to start a Turning Point USA chapter, can you
1:33:16
Speaker 1: just do it and just say, hey, we're meeting at
1:33:18
Speaker 1: my home kind of thing? Or do you need to
1:33:20
Speaker 1: be need to be beneath a higher education or some
1:33:23
Speaker 1: other institution like in this case empower you.
1:33:27
Speaker 3: Right, that's a great question. So in our case, I
1:33:30
Speaker 3: did meet with a rep back in the spring. They're
1:33:32
Speaker 3: a little hard to find right now. Yeah, the rep
1:33:35
Speaker 3: in this area, she actually had left and they were
1:33:38
Speaker 3: finding somebody new. So they were in flux already before
1:33:41
Speaker 3: Charlie kirksissascination. But what I learned in what little time
1:33:45
Speaker 3: I spent with them is that you probably could. They
1:33:48
Speaker 3: have what's called we're actually called a hub according to
1:33:52
Speaker 3: that organization, the TPUSA, or a hub, because we are
1:33:56
Speaker 3: not affiliated with a school and therefore for their our purposes,
1:34:00
Speaker 3: we needed to give a region. If we didn't have
1:34:03
Speaker 3: a high school name then or a college name for example,
1:34:07
Speaker 3: we would need something. So we chose Dan and I
1:34:10
Speaker 3: talked about it. We chose Greater Cincinnati, and that opened
1:34:14
Speaker 3: it up to all, you know, any high school student
1:34:17
Speaker 3: in the Greater Cincinnati area, which at the time didn't
1:34:22
Speaker 3: seem quite as daunting. At this point, after Charlie Kirks's
1:34:25
Speaker 3: fascination and after everything that's happened, it's a it feels
1:34:30
Speaker 3: like a lot. But the crowd that we're getting has
1:34:32
Speaker 3: been very manageable, and we'll see moving forward what that
1:34:35
Speaker 3: looks like. But you probably don't. You could be a hub.
1:34:40
Speaker 3: I was told that there's a group that meets a
1:34:42
Speaker 3: small patriotic group of students. It might even be in Cincinnati,
1:34:47
Speaker 3: but somewhere in southern Ohio, and they sit around the
1:34:50
Speaker 3: campfire and talk about you know, I guess politics. That's
1:34:55
Speaker 3: because look, it could look the way you want it
1:34:57
Speaker 3: to look. Right, we're going to we're going to try
1:35:00
Speaker 3: and do a little more than a lot more than
1:35:02
Speaker 3: that in this chapter. If we're going to have family
1:35:04
Speaker 3: starting all over to meet and empower you, then we're
1:35:08
Speaker 3: going to put our best foot forward and make this
1:35:11
Speaker 3: something bigger and better than that.
1:35:14
Speaker 1: Great well, you know, conceptually, it's you know, like I
1:35:16
Speaker 1: was talking earlier about college education. You know, if you're
1:35:18
Speaker 1: going to college. For like an art degree, you can
1:35:20
Speaker 1: study art online. It's a hobby. You can learn it
1:35:22
Speaker 1: on your own, study van go study the classics. Good
1:35:25
Speaker 1: at the moment, whatever. But conservatism as a philosophy, in
1:35:29
Speaker 1: this Charlie Kirk mentality and how he approached it is
1:35:32
Speaker 1: a certain like a recipe, it's a formula. Do you
1:35:37
Speaker 1: get assistance from TPUSA in starting a chapter? Do they
1:35:40
Speaker 1: have resource materials? Do they have guides? They have instruction
1:35:44
Speaker 1: materials that kind of thing.
1:35:45
Speaker 6: Yeah, they do, they do.
1:35:47
Speaker 3: And I have my own vision too, which we are
1:35:49
Speaker 3: allowed to apply to that right. But they do offer,
1:35:52
Speaker 3: like if they're going to talk about free speech, for example,
1:35:56
Speaker 3: there would be a free speech presentation that is on
1:35:58
Speaker 3: the web page that we could actually you know, show
1:36:01
Speaker 3: that in the group. And then my vision is to
1:36:04
Speaker 3: have you know, an expert from the community come in
1:36:07
Speaker 3: that can speak tree speech and apply it. Teach these
1:36:11
Speaker 3: kids exactly what it means. It means that you know
1:36:14
Speaker 3: what the government cannot do, but that if your boss
1:36:17
Speaker 3: decides they don't like the way you're shouting it out,
1:36:19
Speaker 3: you know on social media, they.
1:36:20
Speaker 6: Can fire you.
1:36:21
Speaker 3: So make it clear of these kids what that means,
1:36:23
Speaker 3: because they're gonna they're hearing all kinds of messaging and
1:36:26
Speaker 3: social media and and make clarification on that. But I'm
1:36:30
Speaker 3: not an expert. I'm just doing the best I can.
1:36:32
Speaker 3: I'm a patriotic American and I love freedom and absolutely
1:36:37
Speaker 3: limit limited government for sure, and self covernance. So but
1:36:40
Speaker 3: but we get an expert in and what I what
1:36:43
Speaker 3: I really want to do is I want to show
1:36:44
Speaker 3: that material and use what they've given us. But I
1:36:48
Speaker 3: think a fresh voice as much as possible in the
1:36:51
Speaker 3: room with them, and that we sit, you know, that
1:36:53
Speaker 3: they sit among us, so that we're engaging the students,
1:36:56
Speaker 3: not just talking at them like they're at school. I'm
1:36:59
Speaker 3: really going to try and do that. I'm still learning
1:37:01
Speaker 3: and it's still evolving, but that will be my vision
1:37:04
Speaker 3: moving forward than you are engaging them.
1:37:07
Speaker 1: And you said it out like you homeschooled, so you
1:37:10
Speaker 1: have a you have appreciation for the concept of teaching
1:37:12
Speaker 1: and instructing I mean, your own child. That's got to
1:37:14
Speaker 1: be very complicated and difficult, at least from my perspective.
1:37:17
Speaker 1: But the idea of engaging in sort of a Socratic
1:37:20
Speaker 1: method discussion, the exchange back and forth, which is one
1:37:23
Speaker 1: of the things I love so much about law school.
1:37:25
Speaker 1: I don't know they do that anymore, but you know,
1:37:27
Speaker 1: asking questions of the students, the students asking questions back
1:37:30
Speaker 1: in that exchange. It's really wonderful to develop your well
1:37:33
Speaker 1: logical and critical thinking skills. I'm going to bring Diana back.
1:37:36
Speaker 1: We'll talk a little bit more about the Turning Point
1:37:38
Speaker 1: USA chapter under the Empower You umbrella and where they
1:37:42
Speaker 1: might be meeting more with Diana. Telli's station seven forty
1:37:47
Speaker 1: here fifty five KRCD talk station Donna Schwabin Octoberfest is
1:37:51
Speaker 1: going on this weekend. We'll hear from the Donna Schwabin
1:37:53
Speaker 1: folks who will be in studio. God bless each and
1:37:55
Speaker 1: every one of them. Eight h five. Right now we're
1:37:57
Speaker 1: talking with Diana Tellis. She's a born member of Empower
1:38:00
Speaker 1: You America and good for her. Obviously, a very true patriot,
1:38:04
Speaker 1: saw the work of Charlie Kirk and like so many
1:38:06
Speaker 1: other people after he was assassinated and even beforehand, open
1:38:09
Speaker 1: chapters for Turning Point USA to do the work that
1:38:13
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk was doing. Political philosophy, a conservative one of course,
1:38:17
Speaker 1: and having a nice exchange. Hopefully it remains friendly exchange
1:38:23
Speaker 1: with your political adversaries is what he's all about, just
1:38:25
Speaker 1: trying to win the hearts and minds of those on
1:38:27
Speaker 1: the other side of the political ledger who really they
1:38:29
Speaker 1: don't get us, Diana, they really don't. I think about
1:38:32
Speaker 1: the criticism of Charlie Kirk and the call him a
1:38:34
Speaker 1: fascist and misogynist or whatever, and he cloaked much of
1:38:38
Speaker 1: his political philosophy philosophy and it all sprung from his
1:38:43
Speaker 1: profound religious faith. And I just am so bothered by
1:38:48
Speaker 1: liberals who, immediately upon learning or understanding that Charlie Kirk
1:38:52
Speaker 1: right quite often relied on his Christian faith as an inspiration,
1:38:56
Speaker 1: that immediately makes him a bad guy. They don't get
1:38:59
Speaker 1: it that Charles Kirk was interested in their salvation as well.
1:39:02
Speaker 1: He did it as a matter of compassion, concern, and love.
1:39:06
Speaker 1: He wants other people, or he wanted other people to
1:39:08
Speaker 1: experience the enlightenment that he felt so they'd enjoy life
1:39:11
Speaker 1: the way he did. That's an evil, Diana. I just
1:39:14
Speaker 1: I struggle with that conceptually. But that's who you're going
1:39:16
Speaker 1: to be working with when you're engaging these folks. So
1:39:19
Speaker 1: a lot of hurdles to overcome and you're starting to
1:39:22
Speaker 1: turn our life. Yeah, so where are you in process
1:39:26
Speaker 1: with this starting of this chapter? Because I'm wanting to
1:39:28
Speaker 1: know how people can get in touch with you on
1:39:30
Speaker 1: the progress or when and where the meetings are going
1:39:33
Speaker 1: to be and we're going to figure out where they're
1:39:34
Speaker 1: taking place too. But where are you in process? Has
1:39:37
Speaker 1: the chapter officially been opened? Where are we?
1:39:41
Speaker 3: Yes, we've already had our last meeting last Thursday. And yes,
1:39:44
Speaker 3: I agree with you on Charlie Kirk. What a gift
1:39:47
Speaker 3: that was that we had in him, that he was
1:39:49
Speaker 3: concerned with everyone's salvation, right, and we want that to
1:39:53
Speaker 3: be the self governance and obedience to God is the
1:39:57
Speaker 3: basis of what this country was started on. We want
1:40:00
Speaker 3: to propagate that, and we can't do it in our schools.
1:40:02
Speaker 3: They're not doing it in our schools for sure, in fact,
1:40:04
Speaker 3: the opposite message.
1:40:06
Speaker 5: So we're going to do.
1:40:07
Speaker 3: Our best to.
1:40:09
Speaker 6: Make this work and.
1:40:10
Speaker 3: Make this attractive to students. In fact, I'd like to
1:40:15
Speaker 3: see candidates from it could be even both sides put
1:40:18
Speaker 3: us on their list of places to visit every time
1:40:20
Speaker 3: they're running for office, to check in with the turning
1:40:23
Speaker 3: point kids of Greater Cincinnati. What a great thing that
1:40:26
Speaker 3: would be and they can be inspired or not to
1:40:30
Speaker 3: help a candidate if they wanted to. We wouldn't push that,
1:40:32
Speaker 3: but they are certainly welcome to do that. So we
1:40:34
Speaker 3: have launched. We launched last week on Thursday at the
1:40:37
Speaker 3: Empower Youth Studios at Great Oaks and we had seventy
1:40:41
Speaker 3: people in the room, roughly probably between forty and fifty students.
1:40:46
Speaker 3: A lot of adults were there too, and I understand
1:40:48
Speaker 3: that the parents wanted to kind of get a feel
1:40:50
Speaker 3: for what this is going to look like and it
1:40:52
Speaker 3: may not look like that that day. That was a
1:40:54
Speaker 3: pizza pizza launch party, but we had Adam Bullet from
1:40:58
Speaker 3: Americans for Prosperity talk to the student and UH it
1:41:01
Speaker 3: went very very well. We were very excited. So we
1:41:03
Speaker 3: had a week off. So we're every every two weeks
1:41:06
Speaker 3: bi weekly, and we will.
1:41:07
Speaker 16: Have another meeting on October the ninth, and we're bringing
1:41:10
Speaker 16: in Gave Garadini from Turning Point USA, the Action group.
1:41:17
Speaker 3: He is not it's we're sort of the educational arm,
1:41:21
Speaker 3: but he works for the UH yeah, so he will.
1:41:25
Speaker 3: He's a student, he's a University of at and student.
1:41:28
Speaker 3: He's also the president of the Ohio College Republicans and
1:41:32
Speaker 3: for Ohio, so he should be able to connect really
1:41:36
Speaker 3: well with the students. And I really wanted somebody that
1:41:38
Speaker 3: could do that this this for this next meeting because
1:41:41
Speaker 3: of him being young and not being an old person
1:41:44
Speaker 3: like me. And so I'm looking forward to it. We
1:41:47
Speaker 3: are meeting a great Oak again on the ninth, and
1:41:51
Speaker 3: you know we're still going to meet there. I'm just
1:41:54
Speaker 3: open to ideas, is what I'll say.
1:41:58
Speaker 1: Eurropan ideas. What were this one regularly?
1:42:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm yep, we may stay there. We'll see. Yeah,
1:42:06
Speaker 3: and uh, I will tell you this too. We're big enough.
1:42:09
Speaker 3: And I think we've had a lot of people stop
1:42:11
Speaker 3: in and check us out at that one, at that
1:42:15
Speaker 3: our for our first meeting, and some have reached out
1:42:17
Speaker 3: to me. It's very hard to launch a chapter right now.
1:42:19
Speaker 3: I don't think the online resources are as available. They're
1:42:23
Speaker 3: stressed pretty senate TV USA right now, obviously. But there
1:42:26
Speaker 3: are you know, folks out there who want to start chapters,
1:42:29
Speaker 3: and we can do that. Hub Cincinnati, Caspital is probably
1:42:33
Speaker 3: they're they're not launching a Turning Punch chapter. That's not happening.
1:42:36
Speaker 3: They're more than welcome to send their families can come
1:42:39
Speaker 3: and have their students join us. That would be great.
1:42:42
Speaker 3: If they were ready to do that, they would be
1:42:43
Speaker 3: doing it.
1:42:44
Speaker 1: They're not okay, fair enough, So I mean, because that's fine.
1:42:48
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that you actually were able to use
1:42:50
Speaker 1: it the and it seems like an ideal venue there,
1:42:53
Speaker 1: uh the campus there, But it sounded to me like
1:42:58
Speaker 1: when I started out that this, you didn't have a
1:43:00
Speaker 1: permanent site to meet. So Dave or rather Dan Regnold
1:43:04
Speaker 1: is cool with you guys meeting at the at three
1:43:07
Speaker 1: hundred Great Oaks Drive on a regular basis. Okay, good good,
1:43:10
Speaker 1: good good good.
1:43:10
Speaker 3: That's now for at five o'clock. I'm not super fun
1:43:13
Speaker 3: at the time. That's really hard on our families. So
1:43:16
Speaker 3: moving forward, we are evolving, right, So I'm listen to ideas.
1:43:19
Speaker 5: That's it.
1:43:20
Speaker 1: So well, the more people you get in the Turning
1:43:22
Speaker 1: Point USA chapter, the more ideas you're going to be
1:43:24
Speaker 1: surrounded by. I'm sure you're going to have a well oiled,
1:43:26
Speaker 1: effective chapter there in virtually at no time. Now, how
1:43:29
Speaker 1: do people stay in touch with you? Do they do
1:43:30
Speaker 1: that through the empower Youamerica dot org site or do
1:43:33
Speaker 1: you have your own separate site for your chapter, because
1:43:35
Speaker 1: I know a lot of listeners are going to want
1:43:37
Speaker 1: to get their their children or maybe their grandchildren involved.
1:43:41
Speaker 3: Well, they can reach out to me. I will be
1:43:43
Speaker 3: on the other end of this email address tp USA
1:43:45
Speaker 3: at empower Youamerica dot org. That's TPUSA at empower you.
1:43:52
Speaker 3: That's you, just you, not matt yowe you you America
1:43:56
Speaker 3: dot or. You said it more times than I have,
1:43:58
Speaker 3: for sure, So I'll on the other end of that
1:44:01
Speaker 3: taking any kind of questions or comments from people or suggestions,
1:44:04
Speaker 3: and yeah, I welcome that. So I do see groups
1:44:09
Speaker 3: maybe spawning off of this group too. So that's kind
1:44:12
Speaker 3: of the beauty of being Greater Cincinnati. As anybody that
1:44:14
Speaker 3: steps in. We would want a kid, a student to
1:44:17
Speaker 3: come in and bring a friend and then say we
1:44:19
Speaker 3: need to do this at our high school. What a
1:44:20
Speaker 3: beautiful thing that would be?
1:44:22
Speaker 1: It sure would, I sure would. Yeah, Diana Tellis, thank
1:44:25
Speaker 1: you for inspiring probably more chapters to open, or at
1:44:27

1:44:45
Speaker 1: you're doing and I'm glad you got inspired to start
1:44:48
Speaker 1: this chapter.
1:44:50
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me. I appreciate that.
1:44:51
Speaker 1: Oh anytime. FEA seven fifty three, fifty five Kcity Talk Station,
1:44:56
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas, welcome you back to the fifty five Carcy
1:44:57
Speaker 1: Morning Show. Let's guess ourselves a bad guy. Time for
1:45:00
Speaker 1: the crime stopper bag Guy of the Week with Officer
1:45:02
Speaker 1: Tivity Green from the Cincinni Police Department. God bless the
1:45:05
Speaker 1: members of law enforcement. Welcome back Tiffany who were.
1:45:07
Speaker 13: Looking for Today, the Butler County Sheriff's Office is looking
1:45:11
Speaker 13: for Francisco Setic. Mister Sedek is wanted for a felony
1:45:15
Speaker 13: probation violation. Francisco Sedic was originally charged with burglary. Francisco
1:45:21
Speaker 13: Setic is an Asian male. He's thirty three years old,
1:45:24
Speaker 13: five six.
1:45:25
Speaker 3: And one hundred and sixty three pounds.
1:45:27
Speaker 13: Francisco Setic has a history of theft and aggravated menacing
1:45:31
Speaker 13: and was last known to live on Lexington Avenue and Avondale.
1:45:36
Speaker 13: If anyone has information, on where police can find Francisco Esthetic.
1:45:40
Speaker 13: Please call crime Stoppers at five one three thirty five
1:45:43
Speaker 13: to two thirty forty or submitted tip online at crime
1:45:47
Speaker 13: dash stoppers dot us.
1:45:48
Speaker 1: And you're main anonymous. Your tip LEAs and arrest to
1:45:50
Speaker 1: be eligible for a cash reward, and you need to
1:45:52
Speaker 1: get the get the information of the police. Regardless of
1:45:55
Speaker 1: the cash reward. Officer Tivity Green will be looking for
1:45:57
Speaker 1: him his pictures on my blog page fifty five Carosee
1:45:59
Speaker 1: dot com. So you're going to have to engage in
1:46:01
Speaker 1: some racial profiling. How about that? I thought that was bad.
1:46:04
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, who are you looking for? Francisco Sedek? Okay,
1:46:08
Speaker 1: what does he look like? He's an Asian male. Now
1:46:11
Speaker 1: that lets you draw some conclusions. You shouldn't be looking for,
1:46:13
Speaker 1: say a black mail, correct, right, So racial profiling is
1:46:17
Speaker 1: something law enforcement does each and every day in the
1:46:19
Speaker 1: name of finding the person they're actually looking for. Just
1:46:23
Speaker 1: wanted to interject that seemingly obvious point that so many
1:46:26
Speaker 1: people on the left side of the ledger mish. Welcome
1:46:29

Speaker 1: official log sawing like metric for the size of the log,

1:49:47
Speaker 17: It's a great question, Brian.
1:49:48
Speaker 4: I don't know.
1:49:49
Speaker 1: We just got to use what we got out there
1:49:52
Speaker 1: in the woods and my own log Like I get
1:49:55
Speaker 1: one that's only like an inch stick.
1:49:57
Speaker 13: I win.
1:49:58
Speaker 1: I just snap it in my hand.
1:50:00
Speaker 4: I saw it.
1:50:00
Speaker 1: You can't snap it exactly, all right, So well, let's
1:50:04
Speaker 1: really quick. I want to let my listeners know it's
1:50:06
Speaker 1: Cincy with y donno d o nau dot com. Information
1:50:11
Speaker 1: is right on the front page of the Donna Schrobin website,
1:50:13
Speaker 1: so you can go over there. Jus Strucker is going
1:50:14
Speaker 1: to put a link of it so my listeners can
1:50:16
Speaker 1: easily go to fifty five kres dot com you get
1:50:18
Speaker 1: the info. How long has your organization been around? You
1:50:21
Speaker 1: guys are like the oldest one in town or what
1:50:24
Speaker 1: are the oldest.
1:50:25
Speaker 17: Among the oldest? I believe it was nineteen fifty two
1:50:27
Speaker 17: of early early nineteen fifties that our club started. And
1:50:31
Speaker 17: these were mostly you know, immigrants, first generation immigrants from
1:50:36
Speaker 17: the Dona Schwaben area, which is which is Germany, Hungary, Romania,
1:50:43
Speaker 17: Austria along the Donau which is the Danielle River right
1:50:48
Speaker 17: and which most people know that name. And so it's
1:50:51
Speaker 17: the the German speaking settlers that came and limbed up
1:50:56
Speaker 17: in those areas, lived in those areas. It's called the
1:50:58
Speaker 17: bread basket of Europe because they were so good at
1:51:02
Speaker 17: raising crops and cattle and just everything until done correct.
1:51:08
Speaker 17: And so they took you know, just this bad devastating
1:51:12
Speaker 17: you know, property of land whatever and made it good
1:51:15
Speaker 17: again until of course the war and then they you know.
1:51:19
Speaker 1: And they came here.
1:51:20
Speaker 10: They came here, which is good, and did the same thing.
1:51:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, Steve, and German heritage, we are as a city.
1:51:24
Speaker 1: We all know that, and it's awesome. And I guess
1:51:26
Speaker 1: the point of Donas Schwaben as an entity in organization here,
1:51:30
Speaker 1: it's it's a social group, right, And that's really what
1:51:32
Speaker 1: it's boiled down to, the whole thing. The concept of
1:51:34
Speaker 1: Gomuti Kaike as we referred to it, is just really
1:51:36
Speaker 1: baked into the cake.
1:51:37
Speaker 17: That's why you're there, Yes, indeed, and we like to
1:51:39
Speaker 17: share that with the general public, and we do with
1:51:41
Speaker 17: Most of our events are open to the public. We
1:51:44
Speaker 17: have a couple that are only members only, but the
1:51:47
Speaker 17: Octoberfest obviously is our biggest.
1:51:49
Speaker 1: Is a bub correct and right you are. And I
1:51:52
Speaker 1: was probationary boobin for a while. They gave up on me.
1:51:56
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't drink quite enough.
1:51:58
Speaker 17: I think you have to make their standards.
1:52:00
Speaker 1: You do, and they are rigorous standards. So for folks
1:52:04
Speaker 1: who know to the movement, are they like the party
1:52:06
Speaker 1: subculture within the broader German community like they exactly? Yeah, yeah,
1:52:10
Speaker 1: you got to meet rigorous party standards. They have mandated
1:52:13
Speaker 1: minimum amount of partying you have to engage in on
1:52:15
Speaker 1: a monthly basis probably too. And you better know bourbon
1:52:19
Speaker 1: and cigars pretty well too. That usually has alcohol general
1:52:22
Speaker 1: just across the board. Bring your skill sets and try
1:52:25
Speaker 1: to get in if you can. I'm still waiting for
1:52:27
Speaker 1: the call, all right, but something else was going to end.
1:52:31
Speaker 1: Oh well, and you mentioned you do events without the year.
1:52:33
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously Octoberfest is the biggest event of the year,
1:52:37
Speaker 1: at least I presume.
1:52:37
Speaker 4: That it is.
1:52:39
Speaker 10: Yes, it is. It is our probably our biggest event
1:52:42
Speaker 10: for the public. We also do have Schwaben fest that's
1:52:44
Speaker 10: in but yeah, and we draw a lot of people
1:52:48
Speaker 10: to that now too, and it's becoming more and more popular.
1:52:50
Speaker 10: But we have dances throughout the year, traditional dances that
1:52:55
Speaker 10: kind of keeps the culture alive. One of the probably
1:52:59
Speaker 10: most tradition know we have is the Kirkfi Dance, and
1:53:02
Speaker 10: that's actually coming up in the next couple of weeks.
1:53:06
Speaker 10: It's it's like a festival, yeah, and they take the
1:53:11
Speaker 10: the tradition of it was for like a married couple
1:53:15
Speaker 10: and they ta have the rosemary bush and what was it?
1:53:18
Speaker 3: Like?
1:53:18
Speaker 4: The was it? The was it?
1:53:20
Speaker 1: The man would Oh, I remember talking about this with
1:53:25
Speaker 1: the woman. The woman right, it's sort of symbolic, Yeah.
1:53:27
Speaker 4: It was.
1:53:28
Speaker 10: It's like a symbolic thing. And then the woman's family
1:53:30
Speaker 10: would then you know, have everybody back and then have
1:53:33
Speaker 10: a big party for it, you know, for the engaged couple.
1:53:37
Speaker 1: So yeah, we then served as an excuse for yet another.
1:53:39
Speaker 10: Party, for another party of course, of course, but it's
1:53:42
Speaker 10: really kind of cool. They take this rosemary bush and
1:53:44
Speaker 10: they decorate it and then in the middle of the
1:53:46
Speaker 10: dance we auction it off, you know, so whoever you
1:53:49
Speaker 10: know wants to make a bid and then the highest
1:53:51
Speaker 10: bidder gets the gets the Rosemary bush underd Yeah.
1:53:55
Speaker 1: Well, clearly, as you point out, with these few vegamin
1:53:58
Speaker 1: join because of the social element. A couple of listeners
1:54:00
Speaker 1: out there occasionally call them talk about it. Either're doing
1:54:02
Speaker 1: square dancing over it, someway, I want to meet some woman. Yeah,
1:54:05
Speaker 1: go ahead, you want to meet somebody, you want to dance, Well,
1:54:08
Speaker 1: come join Donna Shrober And no you do not have
1:54:11
Speaker 1: to be German.
1:54:12
Speaker 3: No you do not.
1:54:13
Speaker 1: We because I'm not right.
1:54:15
Speaker 10: We invite everybody to come. It's and you'll feel very welcome.
1:54:18
Speaker 10: It's a very close knit community. But we're always open
1:54:22
Speaker 10: to having new people join.
1:54:23
Speaker 1: Absolutely. And if you are a married man or involved
1:54:26
Speaker 1: in a relationship with another woman, watch out for the
1:54:28
Speaker 1: older German men. They do want to dance with your.
1:54:30
Speaker 10: Girl, Yes they do. They so don't get jealous.
1:54:34
Speaker 4: No no, no, no no.
1:54:35
Speaker 1: Somebody's always asking my wife to dance. He's got her
1:54:37
Speaker 1: Derndel and she uses these occasions to wear it and
1:54:40
Speaker 1: she looks really pretty. Oh, speaking of Drndall's women's dress,
1:54:43
Speaker 1: and you've got yours on, very very beautiful. The Donna
1:54:47
Speaker 1: Schrobin region you speak of, and I kind of learned this.
1:54:51
Speaker 4: From the.
1:54:53
Speaker 1: The shoots and folks. The types of leader hos and
1:54:57
Speaker 1: differ by region. Am I accurate on that because the
1:55:00
Speaker 1: I was wearing I was given a pair of leader
1:55:01
Speaker 1: hose and I was wearing the wrong ones for that
1:55:03
Speaker 1: read you don't have the right leaders.
1:55:05
Speaker 10: That is true. But and later hosen technically is definitely
1:55:09
Speaker 10: more German than Schwaben, like our traditional male costume is
1:55:15
Speaker 10: that's what Nathan. Yes, the black vest, black pants with
1:55:18
Speaker 10: a white shirt, that's the more traditional Schwaben attire. Later Yeah,
1:55:24
Speaker 10: later hosen is more of a German whereas the Schwaben
1:55:28
Speaker 10: are German speaking people, but not all of them are
1:55:32
Speaker 10: from Germany, so gotchache. But you know, we welcome later
1:55:35
Speaker 10: hosen too.
1:55:38
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to tell people don't wear them. No,
1:55:39
Speaker 1: it's a great opportunity dust them off. You only have
1:55:42
Speaker 1: once a year where you're gonna break them out, right.
1:55:43
Speaker 10: So where you're where, you're later hosing two. But yeah,
1:55:45
Speaker 10: I think there are different types of later hosen for
1:55:48
Speaker 10: different regions.
1:55:49
Speaker 1: But yeah, well we'll pause, We'll bring back the Dona
1:55:52
Speaker 1: Schaubin folks here, chip Amy, Ben, Nathan and Wally talk
1:55:55
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more about the food and what
1:55:56
Speaker 1: else is all because you've got some great music going on.

1:56:21
Speaker 1: to do it.
1:56:21
Speaker 4: Just enjoy the fun, all right.
1:56:23
Speaker 1: I waxed poetic about the sausage, but you were kind
1:56:26
Speaker 1: enough to anticipate my wife's hope and dreams of bringing
1:56:30
Speaker 1: me in an entire struddle homemade. Do you guys make this?
1:56:37
Speaker 1: I have this vision of old German women, you know,
1:56:40
Speaker 1: handmaking in the back room. It's yeah, it's accurate.
1:56:44
Speaker 10: The do out, I mean it's my mom.
1:56:50
Speaker 1: Come in closer to a microphone, my friend. I know
1:56:52
Speaker 1: you like to pace, but.

Speaker 10: Until her shoulder is about to fall off, she will roll.
1:56:59
Speaker 1: You know what, what's just look at it?
1:57:01
Speaker 4: This way.
1:57:01
Speaker 1: I mean, we're in an atmosphere where everybody's encouraging a
1:57:04
Speaker 1: lot of exercise. So it's exercise, it is, yes, yes,
1:57:07
Speaker 1: and it's exercise that brings something that's born of love,
1:57:10
Speaker 1: and it tastes.
1:57:11
Speaker 10: Awesome and you can taste the love they put into that.
1:57:17
Speaker 1: I know some commercial bakers make some great strude, but
1:57:19
Speaker 1: the idea that it was handmade makes it that much
1:57:22
Speaker 1: more special. That's that's why I'm emphasizing that exactly. So
1:57:25
Speaker 1: we'll have strudel, we will have uh, the the the
1:57:28
Speaker 1: shrub and sausage. What else is going to be served?

1:58:15
Speaker 10: that they could kind of escape the heat.
1:58:18

Speaker 10: to the middle group. Then they graduate to the young group, right,
1:59:05

2:02:56
Speaker 6: Thank you, thank you.
2:02:57
Speaker 1: It's pleasure well, and I say pleasure knowing full well
2:03:02
Speaker 1: your experience as a child, which you write about in
2:03:04
Speaker 1: this book. Your father was a rather troubled individual and
2:03:08
Speaker 1: that may be an understatement from your perspective, you can
2:03:10
Speaker 1: elaborate on that. Let my listeners know about you and
2:03:13
Speaker 1: I guess around seven years old, you're apparently your dad
2:03:17
Speaker 1: got radicalized in a certain way. Let's talk about that.
2:03:19
Speaker 1: Let my listeners know.
2:03:22
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, my father he was you know, he was
2:03:25
Speaker 6: raised in kind of a strict household himself, and so
2:03:28
Speaker 6: he raised us kids very very strict. He was LDS.
2:03:33
Speaker 6: We followed it to the to the t, you know.
2:03:36
Speaker 6: He tried to do everything to the t. And what
2:03:39
Speaker 6: that was like for me as a child was very
2:03:42
Speaker 6: There's a lot of violence in our home, and I
2:03:45
Speaker 6: would say correction was over.
2:03:47
Speaker 3: The top for a child.
2:03:49
Speaker 6: And he also believed that women should be underneath the mail.
2:03:54
Speaker 6: They are not to be respected or have a voice
2:03:57
Speaker 6: or opinions. Really, so there was always fights because my
2:04:01
Speaker 6: mom was a very strong thirded woman. Yeah, and this
2:04:06
Speaker 6: just led to a lot of Like I said, I
2:04:08
Speaker 6: just saw a lot of violence and experienced it myself
2:04:10
Speaker 6: growing up with my father and then at seven him
2:04:14
Speaker 6: going to prison and finding out what had happened later on.
2:04:20
Speaker 6: It really affected that kind of snowball and affected my
2:04:23
Speaker 6: life and the relationships.
2:04:24
Speaker 1: There on the way you described the it's a lot
2:04:27
Speaker 1: of day saints that the church that sounds like it
2:04:30
Speaker 1: has a lot of parallels to fundamentalism, Islam and Sharia law.
2:04:37
Speaker 1: Is that a safe or comparable thing a parallel?
2:04:41
Speaker 6: Well, I think anything that you take to an extreme,
2:04:44
Speaker 6: you know, I guess you could compare them. But yeah,
2:04:47
Speaker 6: I mean it was there was no color. It was
2:04:49
Speaker 6: black or white, there was nothing really in between. Yeah,
2:04:54
Speaker 6: that was my experience.
2:04:55
Speaker 3: Yeah.
2:04:56
Speaker 1: So you said he ended up in prison, and let
2:05:00
Speaker 1: my listeners know how exactly he ended up in prison
2:05:03
Speaker 1: and not just regular prison, two life sentences.
2:05:06
Speaker 6: Him all right, correct, Yeah, he took the life of
2:05:11
Speaker 6: my aunt and her baby, my baby cousin. That's the
2:05:17
Speaker 6: filling you know, uh prophecy.
2:05:22
Speaker 1: Oh, he killed them related to his faith in some
2:05:27
Speaker 1: twisted perception. Specifically, what's the connection between the real religious
2:05:32
Speaker 1: fundamentalism and their death?
2:05:36
Speaker 6: They were well, he was excommunicated from the Eldience Church
2:05:40
Speaker 6: and then him and his brothers started creating their own
2:05:43
Speaker 6: church or you know, doing their own thing where it
2:05:47
Speaker 6: was called the School of Prophets, and so they are
2:05:49
Speaker 6: all profits in the school. The oldest had of revelation
2:05:55
Speaker 6: that that this aunt of mine needed to be removed,
2:05:58
Speaker 6: and that my father was the off of He was
2:06:01
Speaker 6: the hand of God, and so therefore that was his role.
2:06:04
Speaker 6: And in their twistedness, made.
2:06:07
Speaker 1: Sense to that bit of a red flag for an
2:06:09
Speaker 1: adult in this world. But as a child of I mean,
2:06:11
Speaker 1: you didn't, you couldn't speak out against it. And I suppose,
2:06:14
Speaker 1: given how young you were, you had no basic comparison,
2:06:18
Speaker 1: no world experience, being hidden from the rest of the
2:06:21
Speaker 1: world in your home, and how would you know. I
2:06:24
Speaker 1: guess you were either forced to believe him or you
2:06:26
Speaker 1: actually believe what he was saying. Rebeca am I right
2:06:28
Speaker 1: on that.
2:06:31
Speaker 6: Well, there's a part of me that always you know,
2:06:34
Speaker 6: obviously my father. I look up to him, I trust him,
2:06:37
Speaker 6: I adored my father, and there was also a part
2:06:41
Speaker 6: of me that was fearful of him, and I didn't
2:06:43
Speaker 6: trust everything he said, the.
2:06:48
Speaker 1: Typical child reaction. I suppose at least that part was typical.
2:06:51
Speaker 1: You know, I my children didn't always listen to what
2:06:54
Speaker 1: I had to say. So this is a completely autobiographical book.
2:06:59
Speaker 1: What what prompted you to write this? Because you talk
2:07:02
Speaker 1: about your struggles and the emotions and everything you went through,
2:07:05
Speaker 1: and then also you talk about when he reached out
2:07:07
Speaker 1: to you from prison, which I want to ask you about.
2:07:09
Speaker 1: But what was the compelling reason for writing The Lafferty Girl.
2:07:14
Speaker 6: Well, I had somebody that I really admire and trust
2:07:17
Speaker 6: to recommended that I write my story, and when she talks,
2:07:21
Speaker 6: I listen, and so I felt, you know, once I
2:07:25
Speaker 6: get enough of my inner healing work and I was
2:07:27
Speaker 6: able to get to a place where I could speak
2:07:30
Speaker 6: from hope and not just the pain, I knew it
2:07:33
Speaker 6: was time to tell my story.
2:07:35
Speaker 9: Yeah.
2:07:37
Speaker 6: Yeah, him reaching out to me from prison was it
2:07:41
Speaker 6: was healing. That was part of the healing process. He
2:07:43
Speaker 6: took accountability for some of the things that how he
2:07:46
Speaker 6: was as a father with me. He's never acknowledged that
2:07:51
Speaker 6: what he's done is wrong. He still holds very very
2:07:53
Speaker 6: strongly to that he is a prophet and that he
2:07:56
Speaker 6: is here to fulfill a whole.
2:08:00
Speaker 1: Did you when you How old were you when he
2:08:02
Speaker 1: when he reached out to you from prison, because you
2:08:03
Speaker 1: know that that's on the cover materials too. Obviously that
2:08:06
Speaker 1: was a very profound moment in your life. But how
2:08:09
Speaker 1: old were you.
2:08:09
Speaker 4: At that time?
2:08:12
Speaker 3: Yes?
2:08:13
Speaker 6: So I stayed in communication with him for a while.
2:08:16
Speaker 6: We had written we would write back and forth, but
2:08:18
Speaker 6: then there was a period where I had not heard
2:08:20
Speaker 6: from him, and then the book Under the Banner of
2:08:23
Speaker 6: Heaven had come out, and so there was a really
2:08:26
Speaker 6: long gap, and I would have been thirty five maybe
2:08:30
Speaker 6: when we reconnected.
2:08:32
Speaker 1: So when he's still clinging to this idea that he's
2:08:35
Speaker 1: a prophet at age thirty five and now capable as
2:08:38
Speaker 1: an adult reflecting back on your childhood understanding what abuse
2:08:41
Speaker 1: is and is not. Did you call him out on it?
2:08:44
Speaker 1: By any change? You said? You know, are you serious
2:08:47
Speaker 1: about this profit stuff? I mean that I'm Brian Thomas.
2:08:49
Speaker 1: That's the kind of the thing, the in conversation I
2:08:51
Speaker 1: would engage in if it was my dad calling me
2:08:53
Speaker 1: from prison. You know, I wouldn't pull any punches. I'm
2:08:56
Speaker 1: just kind of wondering, given the delicacy of the situation,
2:08:58
Speaker 1: if if you engaged in a process back and forth
2:09:00
Speaker 1: about that concept, you know.
2:09:04
Speaker 6: I think, I just know I still carried some there
2:09:08
Speaker 6: around that idea. You would always talk about it. I
2:09:11
Speaker 6: just didn't want to hear it coming from his lips.
2:09:13
Speaker 6: That would just I don't know, it was just another
2:09:16
Speaker 6: level of reality. I just do not want to go
2:09:19
Speaker 6: with you to with him.
2:09:20
Speaker 1: See those are words I can hear coming out of
2:09:22
Speaker 1: my mouth if I was having this conversation my dad.
2:09:23
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear this crap dad, that's anyway.
2:09:27
Speaker 1: So who did you write? I mean, obviously it's cathartic
2:09:31
Speaker 1: to write a book about this. Get it out of
2:09:32
Speaker 1: your system, and many people recommends therapists and psychologists like
2:09:36
Speaker 1: you know, write a journal, get it out of your system,
2:09:38
Speaker 1: put it on paper. It helps you understand your situation
2:09:41
Speaker 1: and come to grips with your own reality. But you
2:09:43
Speaker 1: obviously had an audience you're writing this too. Is this
2:09:46
Speaker 1: for other people who struggle with abuse and are still
2:09:48
Speaker 1: dealing with the scars as adults? Is it for women
2:09:51
Speaker 1: in abusive relationships? Or I mean, it sounds to me
2:09:55
Speaker 1: like there's a whole Schmorgas board of potential audience here.
2:09:57
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering what who you had in mind when
2:09:59
Speaker 1: you wrote it, other than yourself.
2:10:02
Speaker 6: Yeah, I really just well for all of that compassion
2:10:06
Speaker 6: for the little girl, you know, compassion and love for
2:10:11
Speaker 6: my family and the healing that I could bring, and
2:10:14
Speaker 6: then for anyone that's carrying the silence of shame, and
2:10:19
Speaker 6: you know, just wanting to not feel alone. I wrote
2:10:21
Speaker 6: this because I want people to know they are not alone.
2:10:25
Speaker 1: It's a good message, it really, it truly is. And
2:10:29
Speaker 1: you alluded to under the Banner of Heaven in your
2:10:32
Speaker 1: comments earlier, that's an FX Hulu series And is that
2:10:37
Speaker 1: still out there that someone did a documentary about your
2:10:40
Speaker 1: father and the crimes he perpetrated.
2:10:43
Speaker 6: Correct, John Kracker was the He wrote a book under
2:10:46
Speaker 6: the v R sasan He interviewed with my father as
2:10:48
Speaker 6: he wrote it, and then Hulu did a series on it.
2:10:55
Speaker 1: Did they interview you for that? I'm just don't wonder
2:10:56
Speaker 1: what your reaction is.
2:10:58
Speaker 4: I can't.
2:10:59
Speaker 1: I'm just with what my emotions might be if someone's
2:11:01
Speaker 1: going to do a series about my father, How did
2:11:03
Speaker 1: you take that?
2:11:05
Speaker 6: They never asked, they didn't interview anybody from the family.
2:11:08
Speaker 6: In fact, a lot of it is there's a lot
2:11:09
Speaker 6: of fictitious stuff that they've all went into that Hulu
2:11:13
Speaker 6: series and that's how they got around that.
2:11:17
Speaker 1: Well, another reason to write the book to set the
2:11:19
Speaker 1: record straight about what you, Rebecca Lafferty, dealt with with
2:11:23
Speaker 1: him being your father. Well, again, the name of the
2:11:25
Speaker 1: book of the Lafferty Girls Surviving trauma abuse in my
2:11:28
Speaker 1: father's crimes, a Mormon daughter's story. We've made it really
2:11:31
Speaker 1: easier for my listeners to get a copy of Rebecca
2:11:33
Speaker 1: Joe Strecker. My producers put it on a blog page
2:11:35
Speaker 1: fifty five krs dot com with the link to the
2:11:37
Speaker 1: site where they can buy it, which all encouraged them
2:11:39
Speaker 1: to do. And for those out there maybe dealing with
2:11:41
Speaker 1: similar circumstances or struggles, or maybe you got a friend
2:11:44
Speaker 1: or relative that's in this, get a copy of the
2:11:47
Speaker 1: help maybe help them heal as well. Rebecca, I can't
2:11:49
Speaker 1: thank you enough for spending this time with my listeners
2:11:51
Speaker 1: and me this morning, and for putting this all on
2:11:53
Speaker 1: paper on fifty five krc talk station. Hey, fifty fifty
2:12:06
Speaker 1: five KRCD talk station. Important message following wonderful world. Indeed,
2:12:29
Speaker 1: just look at the right place. You quite often don't
2:12:33
Speaker 1: have to search for reasons to call it a wonderful world. Kevin,
2:12:35
Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show.
2:12:39
Speaker 7: Hey, Brian tamache Forte. In a while, unfortunately I haven't
2:12:41
Speaker 7: been able to listen to you guys in a while,
2:12:43
Speaker 7: but I wanted to get your take on what is
2:12:46
Speaker 7: happening as far as the political prosecutions or and the
2:12:49
Speaker 7: indictments and looming indictments. Just how far you think the
2:12:55
Speaker 7: theo J should take these things and just wanted to
2:12:58
Speaker 7: get your opinion on it.
2:12:59
Speaker 1: Well, I think they shouldake him as far as the
2:13:01
Speaker 1: evidence allows them to. You need, of course, the elements
2:13:03
Speaker 1: of a crime. Any responsible prosecutor in any you know,
2:13:07
Speaker 1: state prosecutor's office or Department of Justice needs to get
2:13:10
Speaker 1: all of its evidence in line, all of its facts
2:13:12
Speaker 1: in a row, needs to cite a sound, solid complaint
2:13:16
Speaker 1: against the individual based upon the criminal law, prove that
2:13:19
Speaker 1: the elements are there, and move forward with the prosecution.
2:13:22
Speaker 1: I mean, it's this ain't rocket science, man, just because
2:13:24
Speaker 1: it's high level stuff involving really really important people who
2:13:28
Speaker 1: shouldn't have engaged in behavior that they engaged in. If
2:13:31
Speaker 1: the documents that evidence are there, I say, pursue it.
2:13:33
Speaker 4: Why not?
2:13:34
Speaker 1: It's not lawfair. It is pursuing a legitimate criminal complaint.
2:13:39
Speaker 1: If you believe a crime has been committed, then you
2:13:42
Speaker 1: can look and see if the evidence supports your belief.
2:13:44
Speaker 1: If it does, I think you have an obligation in
2:13:46
Speaker 1: the American people to go after it. Why wouldn't you.
2:13:50
Speaker 1: You know, everyone's making this a big deal like, Oh,
2:13:53
Speaker 1: he's just retaliating, he's just getting his anger out. You know, well,
2:13:56
Speaker 1: what the hell do they do to him?
2:13:58
Speaker 4: For four years?
2:13:59
Speaker 1: And how to underw but circumstances, Kevin, did they do it?
2:14:01
Speaker 1: They did it under circumstances where they made up lies.
2:14:06
Speaker 1: They made up the elements of crime on collusion and
2:14:10
Speaker 1: involvement with Russians and foreign adversaries, all whole cloth, and
2:14:14
Speaker 1: then they used that to support the lies that they
2:14:17
Speaker 1: perpetuated in the media for four years. What happened nothing.
2:14:21
Speaker 1: You didn't see Donald Trump go to jail. Now, you
2:14:23
Speaker 1: go ahead, look at the prosecutions in New York in
2:14:25
Speaker 1: the nonsense upon which they predicated those alleged criminal activity,
2:14:28
Speaker 1: like this nonsense about him inflating the value of real estate.
2:14:31
Speaker 1: He's dealing arm's length with banks who know what they
2:14:34
Speaker 1: are doing and know how to do a real estate
2:14:36
Speaker 1: valuation analysis. Banks that weren't out any money, right, and
2:14:40
Speaker 1: yet they nonetheless got a prosecution conviction. So yeah, make
2:14:47
Speaker 1: sure it's on reality, make sure it's on evidence if
2:14:50
Speaker 1: you've got it, and move forward with it. If you don't,
2:14:52
Speaker 1: don't lie to us and tell us you have the
2:14:54
Speaker 1: goods when you don't. That's my feelings, and that's I'm
2:14:56
Speaker 1: very firm on that, Kevin. I appreciate your call real
2:15:01
Speaker 1: quick care and I want to thank my one of
2:15:03
Speaker 1: my listeners out there. Something me meme. I was going
2:15:05
Speaker 1: off on a terror this morning on higher education, predicated
2:15:09
Speaker 1: on this argument about this this article about Harvard Law
2:15:12
Speaker 1: or Harvard hiring someone named Lahore Vadgistan who's a transit
2:15:16
Speaker 1: or rather a I guess a transgender performer. It's a
2:15:21
Speaker 1: guy who dresses up like a woman and an obscene
2:15:27
Speaker 1: comic book version of a boufont hairdoo. Nonetheless, this person
2:15:31
Speaker 1: is going to be teaching classes in rupe politics. That
2:15:33
Speaker 1: will be the Rue Paul show, you know, familiar with
2:15:35
Speaker 1: the drag race. His class route politics, drag race and desire.
2:15:40
Speaker 1: He'll also be teaching queer ethnography, whatever the hell that means.
2:15:45
Speaker 1: So it's one thing to look at the picture of
2:15:47
Speaker 1: this guy and roll your eyes and go Lord Almighty.
2:15:51
Speaker 1: But being who I am, I don't care. I mean
2:15:55
Speaker 1: to be a red flag my kids thinking I go
2:15:56
Speaker 1: to Harvard University where the tuition is three I think
2:15:59
Speaker 1: I read looked it up this morning. It's like three
2:16:01
Speaker 1: four hundred dollars an hour. Now think about that.
2:16:05
Speaker 4: Do the math.
2:16:05
Speaker 1: You're sitting in a classroom with thirty thirty young people,
2:16:08
Speaker 1: all of whom are paying three thousand, or their parents
2:16:10
Speaker 1: or they went into dad to sit in a Roue
2:16:12
Speaker 1: Paul class, learn about Rue Paul, learn about drag queens,
2:16:19
Speaker 1: and pay three thousand, four hundred dollars an hour for it.
2:16:22
Speaker 1: So there's that insult, but the more important point, and
2:16:26
Speaker 1: I want to thank the listener. John wrote me this
2:16:28
Speaker 1: morning after I went on a tear about college education
2:16:31
Speaker 1: generally that there is even a class called real politics drag,
2:16:36
Speaker 1: race and desire that will not benefit benefit anyone under
2:16:40
Speaker 1: any circumstances in terms of generating income, feeding yourself, housing yourself,
2:16:44
Speaker 1: closing yourself. I made fun of myself for taking a
2:16:48
Speaker 1: music appreciation class. I only took it because the college
2:16:52
Speaker 1: mandata that I take a certain number of whatever they
2:16:55
Speaker 1: called that liberal arts classes in order to get a
2:16:57
Speaker 1: political science degree. What does music appreciation have to do
2:17:02
Speaker 1: with political science? Absolutely nothing. I was going to law school.
2:17:04
Speaker 1: Why do I need to sit in a music appreciation class? Well?
2:17:06
Speaker 1: I did because it was an easy a and it
2:17:08
Speaker 1: was well fun. You just sat there so strongly consider
2:17:14
Speaker 1: what your children are taking, and strongly consider the reality
2:17:17
Speaker 1: of just that point.
