0:06
Speaker 1: Five o five at fifty five KRC DE Talk Station.
0:11
Speaker 1: Happy Friday, Yay.
0:17
Speaker 2: Some savation.
0:29
Speaker 1: There you are, must be Friday. There's a woo who
0:31
Speaker 1: always enjoy that and a confirmation of what I already know.
0:34
Speaker 1: And I hope you have some great plans for the weekend.
0:36
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas right here, Love Fact. Joe Strekker is where
0:38
Speaker 1: he belongs to Executiveroducer of the fifty five KRC Morning Show.
0:40
Speaker 1: He can produce your podcast if you are so interested
0:43
Speaker 1: in doing one Tech Friday with Dave Hadder loves me
0:47
Speaker 1: Some Tech Friday with Dave Hatter keeping me out of trouble.
0:49
Speaker 1: She's trying to cyber attacks disrupting operations at North Carolina Ports.
0:57
Speaker 1: Are the Iranians at it again? Question Mark hackers talk
1:00
Speaker 1: me by hijacking a smart watch for kids. And finally,
1:03
Speaker 1: Flock misreading license plates in seventy one percent of the
1:07
Speaker 1: alerts it's sent to police. Flock also announce a platform
1:11
Speaker 1: to change it's well, it's system and the way it works.
1:15
Speaker 1: Just to believe the other day because of so many
1:18
Speaker 1: privacy complaints regarding flock cameras, a growing outrage over the
1:21
Speaker 1: use of Flock cameras. I know, Dave Hatter is no
1:24
Speaker 1: fan privacy implications, you know, but Flock says it's trying
1:29
Speaker 1: to improve things. Not really impressed with what they have done.
1:33
Speaker 1: But their point over at Flock is, yeah, you know
1:36
Speaker 1: you're gonna get You're gonna get some erroneous misreads on
1:39
Speaker 1: license plates and those Flock cameras scan license plates and
1:43
Speaker 1: read and store data about automobiles and the license plates
1:46
Speaker 1: and the information access to the information. Of course, police
1:49
Speaker 1: have been abusing the systems for lots and lots of
1:52
Speaker 1: stories about police abuse of the system, and basically what
1:55
Speaker 1: law enforcement is doing has taken all the data that
1:57
Speaker 1: Flock keeps and well stalking girlfriends and romantic interest, etc.
2:02
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that happening. You can literally trace the
2:06
Speaker 1: whereabouts of any individual using the Flock system to st
2:08
Speaker 1: their's sufficient cameras around. You know exactly where a person
2:11
Speaker 1: has been and where they are going and what they
2:14
Speaker 1: are doing. So creepy. Yeah, Flox says is now going
2:16
Speaker 1: to delete all the data after one week, with the
2:18
Speaker 1: exception of open cases, would you need to make a
2:21
Speaker 1: specific request that the data be held until the investigation's over.
2:25
Speaker 1: So storing it for one week versus storing it indefinitely.
2:29
Speaker 1: That's maybe an improvement. But Flox said, listen, you know,
2:33
Speaker 1: just because you get a hit, just because the license
2:36
Speaker 1: plate flags it and believes it's a specific license plate
2:38
Speaker 1: or something, you got to follow it up with investigation.
2:42
Speaker 1: You can't just rely on one little hit and then
2:45
Speaker 1: go out and arrest somebody. So anyway, a bit complicated.
2:48
Speaker 1: It's flocks problem, it's our problem collectively. Dave Hadter's going
2:51
Speaker 1: to talk about it. I don't think he's going to
2:53
Speaker 1: come down on Flock's side on that one. Dave Williams,
2:55
Speaker 1: Taxpayer Protection Alliance. Hey, look, the Postal Service lost money.
3:04
Speaker 1: I don't be a radio twenty years in December. I
3:07
Speaker 1: don't think there's ever been a year that's gone by
3:08
Speaker 1: that the Postal Service hasn't lost money in a quarter.
3:11
Speaker 1: This is just perpetual insanity. I think they in a
3:15
Speaker 1: new business model. Yeah, we've arrived that conclusion, how many
3:19
Speaker 1: decades ago? Dave Williams. We'll also talk about the farm bill,
3:22
Speaker 1: which apparently you're not going to have to pay a
3:24
Speaker 1: lot for, and uh, tech overreach Adam Keaylor. Adam of
3:36
Speaker 1: course has his hand our fingers on the pulse of
3:40
Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati, much in the same way a
3:42
Speaker 1: signal ninety nine, but at different aspects. Today we'll be
3:44
Speaker 1: talking with Adam Keler about the Cincinnati infrastructure and railroad money. Yeah,
3:49
Speaker 1: you know, we do have some outstanding infrastructure projects if
3:51
Speaker 1: you haven't gotten the memo on that one. Finally, it
3:53
Speaker 1: is Friday eight thirty with Friday Jack Windsor from the
3:55
Speaker 1: High Press Network Amy acting substance abuse problem. I know
4:01
Speaker 1: that ad campaign suggests she has a major problem on
4:03
Speaker 1: her hands. I will find out if Jack has any
4:05
Speaker 1: additional information on it. Socialist housing policy and the cost
4:09
Speaker 1: to Ohio families. And then a little insight from Jack
4:11
Speaker 1: wins Or on the Houston Brown race critically important, John
4:15
Speaker 1: Houston versus Shared Brown. That is your line that's your
4:18
Speaker 1: lineup for this morning. Five one, three, eight, seven, four
4:21
Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three talk
4:23
Speaker 1: or pound five fifty on AT and T phones. I
4:26
Speaker 1: wasn't like quite sure where to talk about the start,
4:28
Speaker 1: but let's dive onto this one. Uh what did I
4:35
Speaker 1: do with money? Oh?
4:36
Speaker 3: I know what I did with it?
4:37
Speaker 1: Hold on where I wanted to start and where I'm
4:42
Speaker 1: going to be able to go. I confuse myself because
4:44
Speaker 1: I just stacked my articles elsewhere. Oh Friday morning, I'm
4:49
Speaker 1: not quite awake yet. By how about you, I'll just
4:53
Speaker 1: get this one. I think put folks in Texas is
4:56
Speaker 1: the right to be outraged on this. And I don't
4:59
Speaker 1: understand why anybody would do this unless you are trying
5:02
Speaker 1: to I don't know in doctrine. Eight people of the
5:04
Speaker 1: Muslim faith. You got Public High School, Humble ISD, Kingwood
5:09
Speaker 1: High School, and the Atascocita High School children were taken
5:16
Speaker 1: on a school day field trip to the Centro Islamico,
5:20
Speaker 1: operating by an organization called Islam in Spanish. That's one
5:24
Speaker 1: word Islam in Spanish, all crunched together. It's a mosque,
5:29
Speaker 1: A visit to amos, a school organized visit to a mosque.
5:33
Speaker 1: The visit included a tour, lunch from Halal food trucks,
5:36
Speaker 1: observation in midday prayer, and a presentation. Students even provided scarves.
5:43
Speaker 1: I guess that's because the young girls, if they have
5:45
Speaker 1: them there in Texas still probably asked to cover their heads.
5:49
Speaker 1: I don't know. I wasn't there A care. Houston representative
5:55
Speaker 1: spoke to them about their rights as Muslims, students and allies.
5:59
Speaker 1: Notice the way I read that quotes. The Islamic Center
6:02
Speaker 1: put out its own video about this visit, showing the
6:04
Speaker 1: school bus pulling up and the teens filing inside representative
6:06
Speaker 1: state school. It's always exciting to have the opportunity to
6:09
Speaker 1: speak to the general community about Islam. This past week,
6:13
Speaker 1: he went on, right before Ramadan started, we were blessed
6:15
Speaker 1: to have a group of high school students from Kingwood
6:18
Speaker 1: High School and at ascood he Ad, Esco, Sita, whatever
6:22
Speaker 1: the other high school come and visit the Central Islamico.
6:28
Speaker 1: Their teachers wanted them to see a different side of
6:31
Speaker 1: the Muslims, the diversity within our community. And these are
6:35
Speaker 1: and these are brothers and sisters. Again that's a quote.
6:38
Speaker 1: It went on. One of the greatest blessings that we
6:41
Speaker 1: can have is to be able to explain to the
6:43
Speaker 1: younger generation not only what Islam is and how it
6:48
Speaker 1: impacted our lives, but also giving them an insight into
6:51
Speaker 1: the work of Islam and Spanish the organization, and also
6:54
Speaker 1: what the Centro Islamico means to us. According to the Center,
6:58
Speaker 1: of the goal is an opportunity to well get rid
7:01
Speaker 1: of misinformation and stereotypes, so the students could well talk
7:04
Speaker 1: about what they heard and experience. Are they prostlytizing, Are
7:09
Speaker 1: they trying to maybe soften a message that many might
7:12
Speaker 1: not agree with. Is this perhaps support of a particular
7:16
Speaker 1: religion that the ACLU should run in with an injunction
7:19
Speaker 1: to stop from happening, which is exactly what they would
7:22
Speaker 1: probably do if a high school organized a bus field
7:24
Speaker 1: trip to a a church, a Christian organization maybe, And
7:33
Speaker 1: why would they do this? It's a legitimate question. I
7:39
Speaker 1: think I know a lot of people concerned about these
7:42
Speaker 1: the mosque going up in various neighborhoods, and you know,
7:48
Speaker 1: I think the freedom of religion can trump zoning laws.
7:52
Speaker 1: I seem to recall my father, he's on a zoning
7:54
Speaker 1: commission at one point way back in the day, and
7:59
Speaker 1: one neighborhood I believe they wanted to put a church
8:01
Speaker 1: in and some of the residents were concerned about traffic
8:05
Speaker 1: and you know, having a new a church coming in
8:08
Speaker 1: the neighborhood or whatever. And I seem to recall, and
8:11
Speaker 1: I don't quote me on this on law, because not
8:12
Speaker 1: only were going back a couple of several decades, I
8:15
Speaker 1: probably didn't get the whole picture, but there was some
8:17
Speaker 1: effort to prevent the church from being formed and organized
8:21
Speaker 1: and going into the neighborhood, and they were met with
8:24
Speaker 1: the legal opinion which said, no, it's freedom of religion.
8:26
Speaker 1: You can't stop them from happening. Now, that may be
8:28
Speaker 1: the case with some of these mosques, that you can't
8:31
Speaker 1: stop them from happening, but folks believe, and I we
8:33
Speaker 1: had a conversation with one of the listeners the other
8:35
Speaker 1: day about this. Yeah, some of them are sharial law centers.
8:39
Speaker 1: They are areas where people embrace and support their own
8:42
Speaker 1: selection and their own election to follow Sharia law, which
8:46
Speaker 1: under you know, the concepts themselves are freely are free
8:51
Speaker 1: in the United States under the freedom of religion and
8:53
Speaker 1: freedom of speech. But as I pointed out, you know,
8:56
Speaker 1: they work in parallel with these with the laws on
8:58
Speaker 1: the book. So if you are engaging in shurial law
9:01
Speaker 1: and also violating the criminal law, then the criminal law
9:06
Speaker 1: will trump the exercise of the practice of religion. So
9:09
Speaker 1: you can't I guess, beat the living hell out of
9:12
Speaker 1: your wife justified perhaps under some perceived viewpoint of shurial law,
9:16
Speaker 1: that would still be a criminal prosecution, But how do
9:19
Speaker 1: you get into those communities and if they form in
9:21
Speaker 1: your area, are they it's quite often become no go zones.
9:25
Speaker 1: You've read about this in Europe. The police won't even
9:28
Speaker 1: go into the areas. So how can you enforce criminal
9:31
Speaker 1: law if you're not if you can't get in the
9:34
Speaker 1: area out of fear for your own personal safety, how
9:36
Speaker 1: what if happens if these crimes are not reported? And
9:39
Speaker 1: I understand the pressures on women within those sharial law
9:42
Speaker 1: communities to of course not turn to the police and
9:45
Speaker 1: report the crimes that might be committed under state law.
9:48
Speaker 1: So lots of concerns within you know, within any culture,
9:54
Speaker 1: when another culture comes in and undermines the fabric of
9:58
Speaker 1: the culture, that they ill use the term invaded. Now,
10:03
Speaker 1: our free society sort of has an outlook that you
10:06
Speaker 1: just can't stop them from happening. It's the free exchange
10:10
Speaker 1: of ideas. And of course if you freely exchanged ideas
10:12
Speaker 1: about the well the harm and evils of sharial law,
10:16
Speaker 1: the fact that they do quite often conflict with criminal law,
10:20
Speaker 1: the fact that they are well very oppressive to women
10:22
Speaker 1: generally speak. And I think the longer you talk about
10:24
Speaker 1: that the more you know, because we are in enlightened
10:26
Speaker 1: society here, women suffrage has been around for a long time,
10:30
Speaker 1: equal rights, all the legal protections given to women in
10:33
Speaker 1: our country. If you talk about the abuses that happen
10:36
Speaker 1: under shrial law, you might come to a conclusion that
10:39
Speaker 1: we shouldn't go down that road. It conflicts culturally and
10:42
Speaker 1: legally with our society. That's what the First Amendment's supposed
10:45
Speaker 1: to be about. More speech, more debate, more discussion. In
10:48
Speaker 1: that way, these viewed by some as problematic ideologies aren't
10:54
Speaker 1: adopted because you've flushed out the problems and the concerns
10:58
Speaker 1: that come along with them, and have arrived at a
11:00
Speaker 1: conclusion that it's more dangerous to go that way than
11:02
Speaker 1: to allow it to prosper and flourish. Ideally, that's what's
11:06
Speaker 1: supposed to happen, and we all know practically speaking that
11:10
Speaker 1: doesn't quite often work that way. And then when you
11:13
Speaker 1: also have in some cases, a coordinated media effort to
11:17
Speaker 1: spend a certain narrative about perhaps you real law, perhaps
11:22
Speaker 1: any other topic, and a lower information society that doesn't
11:27
Speaker 1: bother to look into the details of what's being how
11:30
Speaker 1: it's being presented to them, that positive spin. Perhaps the
11:35
Speaker 1: forces tend to line up against the opposition, even if
11:37
Speaker 1: the opposition has a stronger argument on the merits of
11:41
Speaker 1: the topic. A little convoluted, I agree, But I'll figure
11:46
Speaker 1: out where I wanted to go after this brief After
11:49
Speaker 1: these brief words, I'll be right back. Don't go away
11:52
Speaker 1: our Rightheart Radio Music Festival.
11:54
Speaker 4: Presented by Capital Line.
11:56
Speaker 1: There's coming up seventy one degrees right now. If you
11:58
Speaker 1: five ker c de Talk Spation.
12:00
Speaker 3: I'm Donald J. Trump. Can I approve this message?
12:02
Speaker 1: Thank you? An Brian Thomason. I approve your calling the
12:07
Speaker 1: fifty five Parisee Morning Show five one, three, seven, four
12:10
Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighteen three fo found
12:12
Speaker 1: five fifty on eight and t phones. Let me have
12:15
Speaker 1: the flour Oh seeing me too? H. In a related
12:26
Speaker 1: story of that last one, we go to Germany. Love
12:28
Speaker 1: this happening all over. They've been having some serious problems
12:34
Speaker 1: with the immigrant invasion over in Europe. If you haven't
12:36
Speaker 1: gotten a memo on that one. So we have a
12:38
Speaker 1: taxpayer funded swimming pool in Berlin, pitched to the public
12:43
Speaker 1: because it is taxpayer built, a multicultural, open to all
12:46
Speaker 1: space Volkschmune translated to People's pool anyway. Summer swimming facility
12:56
Speaker 1: initially pitched again as welcoming space that would be quote
13:00
Speaker 1: open to everyone who longs to cool off in the
13:03
Speaker 1: hotter Berlin summer close quote and they pointed out their
13:08
Speaker 1: contrasting this a vukshbuna the People's Pool with others in
13:11
Speaker 1: Germany which have started requiring id for entry after all
13:15
Speaker 1: kinds of instances of poor behavior, sexual assaults, physical attacks,
13:20
Speaker 1: mostly from migrants who don't get the societal realities of
13:24
Speaker 1: the norms in Berlin. Cultural problems, Yeah, those happen. Supporters
13:31
Speaker 1: of the project for the People's Pool claimed that people
13:33
Speaker 1: needed a place to go where anyone could swim without
13:36
Speaker 1: proving who they were first. Okay, that sounds like a
13:38
Speaker 1: good idea, maybe now all the Berlin pools said that
13:42
Speaker 1: it would be free of charge, would not require an idea.
13:44
Speaker 1: An announcement on its website well met with a bit of
13:47
Speaker 1: a backlash. Supposedly multicultural pool restricted for use exclusively to
13:56
Speaker 1: black communities. That's end quotes that you respect this collective
14:01
Speaker 1: self identification and the spaces associated with it. According the announcements.
14:06
Speaker 1: According to the announcement. They backtracked a little bit after
14:10
Speaker 1: social media outraged, like, well, well wait a minute, I
14:13
Speaker 1: thought everybody's going to be able to go there now
14:15
Speaker 1: it's Black People Day. So they realize that this is
14:20
Speaker 1: a violation of law. Apparently there's something out there called
14:23
Speaker 1: the General Equal Treatment Act in Germany which bars discrimination
14:26
Speaker 1: based on the grounds of race and ethic origin. So
14:29
Speaker 1: they changed it. New entry on the website for the
14:33
Speaker 1: Black Only Day said the pool would be reserved for
14:36
Speaker 1: members of the This is an organization Each one Teach
14:40
Speaker 1: One e O two described as an NGO which describes
14:46
Speaker 1: itself in its own words as a place of learning
14:49
Speaker 1: and meeting for people of African descent. Close quote. I
14:54
Speaker 1: guess Elon Musk would have been invited to that one though,
14:56
Speaker 1: right Joe. Anyway, according the Build newspaper, quote, white people
15:01
Speaker 1: are generally not welcome close quoted meetings of this non
15:04
Speaker 1: governmental organization Each one Teach One, despite the group being
15:08
Speaker 1: financed part by taxpayer funds from both the federal and
15:11
Speaker 1: local Berlin governments. Acorn of the paper that, along with
15:16
Speaker 1: the People's Pool being financed by taxpayer dollars, So right,
15:25
Speaker 1: you know, I can only read this stuff and just
15:28
Speaker 1: just stand in awe of the direction that the European
15:31
Speaker 1: Union has gone, and oh look it's here too. Fortunately,
15:35
Speaker 1: now you have an You got to give Donald Trump
15:37
Speaker 1: credit if you don't want the entire United States of
15:40
Speaker 1: America to have a completely different cultural outlook, right, if
15:42
Speaker 1: you want people to assimilate into the Judeo Christian norms
15:46
Speaker 1: that we well used to rely on in this country.
15:49
Speaker 1: And I know that sounds religious, but the Judeo Christian norms, work, ethic,
15:53
Speaker 1: hard work is you know, the benefit in of itself.
15:57
Speaker 1: Get yourself a job, go to work, pursue the American dream,
16:01
Speaker 1: whatever your perception of it is. Enjoy the freedoms and
16:03
Speaker 1: liberties here. All these concepts are foreign to while people
16:06
Speaker 1: who come into our countries from foreign lands where they
16:07
Speaker 1: haven't grown up in that world, and they isolate themselves
16:13
Speaker 1: and then implement their own form of government. This doesn't
16:16
Speaker 1: is not compatible with our way of life. But then
16:19
Speaker 1: you move over and you appreciate the fact that, well,
16:21
Speaker 1: isn't that what the constitution allows for? Again, going back
16:26
Speaker 1: to the exchange of ideas, you can see a world
16:28
Speaker 1: where I'm using the word foreign like this strange ill
16:32
Speaker 1: I uses strange, strange concepts which were completely counter completely
16:38
Speaker 1: applosed to American ideology, and you're like, there's no way
16:41
Speaker 1: this can never catch on. But over time, more and
16:45
Speaker 1: more people could catch on, and more and more people,
16:49
Speaker 1: and I'm sort of drawing a parallel to the Democrats
16:52
Speaker 1: socialist of America. More and more people could embrace that
16:55
Speaker 1: sometimes thoughtless, sometimes stupid, but embrace the ideology nonetheless, and
17:01
Speaker 1: over time move in that direction, vote people of that
17:04
Speaker 1: ideology into office. And guess what your society has been transformed. Now,
17:09
Speaker 1: step back from the last decade fifteen years or so,
17:12
Speaker 1: and look at the slow creep of this woke ideology.
17:14
Speaker 1: Look at how the gender trans transformation's crept in, the
17:20
Speaker 1: EI crept in these just completely backcrap in saying concepts
17:26
Speaker 1: that you would have laughed out of the room fifteen
17:29
Speaker 1: twenty years ago have made inroads so much so that
17:34
Speaker 1: we have serious discussions about whether a guy can say
17:36
Speaker 1: he's a girl and we have to take him seriously
17:39
Speaker 1: or not. You know that's working now, That's just one
17:42
Speaker 1: of a sliver of their ideology that now has become
17:44
Speaker 1: the norm, not because it's logical, rational or reasonable and
17:48
Speaker 1: it's just because people have isolated themselves in an echo
17:51
Speaker 1: chamber where it does sound logical, rational and reasonable, and
17:53
Speaker 1: then they start pursuing those ideologies. That group of people
17:57
Speaker 1: is growing and growing. So pick your favorite topic, your
18:00
Speaker 1: favorite you know, cultural point, and there's going to be
18:05
Speaker 1: something conflicting with it. You have to argue for the
18:08
Speaker 1: hearts and minds of people. You have to advocate logically
18:11
Speaker 1: and reasonably on why our country has done so well
18:16
Speaker 1: under what almost is the former way of life. Here
18:19
Speaker 1: are former cultural norms. I don't ever want to get
18:22
Speaker 1: to the point where we have to look back and say,
18:23
Speaker 1: look way we used to be, Look how it is now.
18:28
Speaker 1: But the silencing of the logical and reasonable voice, the
18:32
Speaker 1: silence of the exchange of information, the toxicity issues, the well,
18:37
Speaker 1: let's go back to the even the financing issues. Two
18:40
Speaker 1: hundred trillion dollars was a figure the Cato Insuit came
18:43
Speaker 1: out with with regard to the DSA policies, how much
18:45
Speaker 1: they costs. Can't we have an out loud, logical, reasonable
18:48
Speaker 1: conversation about that, and like, well, yeah, we might want
18:50
Speaker 1: to go down that road, free stuff and things for everybody.
18:53
Speaker 1: It sounds great, but it doesn't work. And here are
18:56
Speaker 1: all the reasons why convincing people to get the hell
18:59
Speaker 1: away from that, because even if you want it, it's
19:01
Speaker 1: not possible. Sorry, I'm still waking up. It's been a
19:07
Speaker 1: It's five one three seven eight hundred eight two three
19:11
Speaker 1: talk pound five to fifty on at and T funds

Speaker 1: Five one three, seven hundred eight hundred two three talk
19:25
Speaker 1: five fifty on eight and T fund send out a
19:31
Speaker 1: search party. Tom is not on the line, Michell Democrat, Well,
19:37
Speaker 1: that was going to have to suffice without any elaboration.
19:39
Speaker 1: We'll just take that. Hamilung County officials sees more than
19:42
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty animals from a Westwood home UH
19:44
Speaker 1: the foutom and living conditions officials described as unliveable, mostly cats.
19:52
Speaker 5: UH.
19:52
Speaker 1: Interim Hamilton County Chief dog Wardon Megan Colville said the
19:57
Speaker 1: scope of the situation larger than initially reported, saying we
20:00
Speaker 1: knew of about ten animals in the house, but upon arriving,
20:03
Speaker 1: our deputy dog Warden came across the situation that was
20:06
Speaker 1: pretty clearly not a livable situation for the animals and
20:09
Speaker 1: people involved, and we found out there were far more
20:13
Speaker 1: animals than were originally reported, describing the interior as having cluttered,
20:18
Speaker 1: bree fecal matter in every room, large number of caged animals.
20:23
Speaker 1: One neighbor said they smell coming from the home lingered
20:26
Speaker 1: for months, saying it smelled like something was dead rotten
20:30
Speaker 1: to death. Animals found property included more than forty cats,
20:34
Speaker 1: six dogs, fifty rats, thirty chickens, fifteen rabbits, geese, and
20:39
Speaker 1: a bearded dragon. Hey Joe, can you make a Twelve
20:45
Speaker 1: Days of Christmas song using those items? Use chatch ept?
20:51
Speaker 1: According to to Coleville, a lot of them dealing with
20:56
Speaker 1: skin issues, fleas mites, and upper respiratory problems. Hardly any
21:00
Speaker 1: food or water was found in the cage, as some
21:02
Speaker 1: animals received fluids and electrolytes on the scene. Cobbo said
21:05
Speaker 1: the owners appeared to care about the animals, but just
21:07
Speaker 1: were overwhelmed by the situation. No criminal charges filed yet.
21:12
Speaker 1: The more than one hundred and fifty animals sees now
21:14
Speaker 1: at the Cincinnati Animal Care being evaluated and treated. Because
21:17
Speaker 1: the investigation remains active, those animals cannot be adopted yet
21:21
Speaker 1: operative word yet, so I suspect that in a moment's
21:24
Speaker 1: time there are gonna be some options for adopting. And
21:27
Speaker 1: we put a shout out to everybody who's adopted animals
21:29
Speaker 1: before rescue is awesome. You feel good about the animal,
21:32
Speaker 1: even more so than if you went out to a
21:34
Speaker 1: puppy mill and bought a puppy mill puppy. I know
21:38
Speaker 1: that's what we have found about our adopted animals. Anyway,
21:41
Speaker 1: evacuations are ongoing. Southeastern Indiana got hit whacked really hard
21:45
Speaker 1: here yesterday. Deerun County Emergency Management issued an alert calling
21:47
Speaker 1: for the mandatory evacuation of several low lying areas along
21:50
Speaker 1: the Whitewater River. More than two dozen residents were rescued
21:54
Speaker 1: by boat in Connersville and Fayette County and in Laurel
21:57
Speaker 1: in Franklin County. According to the first responders, voluntary evacuations
22:01
Speaker 1: began in Laurel on Wednesday night, with first responders going
22:04
Speaker 1: door to or on Jackson Street. Some residents also could

Speaker 1: not call nine to one one because well they needed
22:08
Speaker 1: to be rescued. Over in Connersville and the residents were
22:13
Speaker 1: evacuated from Vine Street and also on the East fifth
22:17
Speaker 1: Street corner in Connersville. Courd of the Assistant fire Chief

Speaker 1: Nate Stevens said thirty homes were underwater, maybe even more.
22:24
Speaker 1: This is as of the reporting that ended last night.
22:26
Speaker 1: So thoughts, prayers and uh hope you get some assistants
22:31
Speaker 1: folks that are dealing with the flooding rained. Well, guess
22:36
Speaker 1: what we just read the forecast more flooding predicted. What
22:40
Speaker 1: a rainy season it has been, five point thirty five
22:43
Speaker 1: do it was stack as stupid to dive on into.
22:45
Speaker 1: But if you prefer calling, I'd like to talk to you,
22:47
Speaker 1: so consider that. Beyond that, be right back after these
22:49
Speaker 1: brief words.

23:08
Speaker 1: the bumbo music from Primus, Jeffrey, good morning. Who is
23:11
Speaker 1: listening in Toledo this morning? Thanks for tuning in, Jeff.
23:27
Speaker 1: That's because Jeff went to fifty five karsee dot iHeart

23:32
Speaker 1: device and he can listen easy conveniently right there when
23:35
Speaker 1: a smart device and check out all the I heard
23:37
Speaker 1: content from that fifty five karroseed dot iHeart dot com
23:41
Speaker 1: right right, let's go to the stack as stupid, We're
23:47
Speaker 1: in Utah for this one. Around twenty five minutes after
23:51
Speaker 1: four August twelfth, Tool Candidas Batch receive reports of a
23:55
Speaker 1: passenger vehicle engaged in a road rate incident on eastbound
23:59
Speaker 1: I eighty, driver allegedly throwing a beer bottle at a
24:02
Speaker 1: semi truck and also nearly running over running another vehicle
24:05
Speaker 1: off the road. Utah Highway Patrol trooper attempting to make
24:08
Speaker 1: the traffic stop on the vehicle about mile thirty six,
24:11
Speaker 1: the driver kept going, gesturing at the trooper and shouting
24:16
Speaker 1: wonder what that gesture was anyway? For several dozen miles,
24:20
Speaker 1: officers continued to pursue. The driver continued swerving, traveling in
24:23
Speaker 1: speeds between sixty and ninety miles an hour, throwing items
24:26
Speaker 1: out of the vehicle, including a fire extinguishers extinguisher, several boxes,
24:31
Speaker 1: vehicle headrests, and trash, some of which damaged the patrol
24:36
Speaker 1: vehicle once it got to miles seventy one. The vehicle
24:39
Speaker 1: crossed the medium continued the wrong way in the westbound
24:43
Speaker 1: lanes of I eighty, narrowly missing several vehicles. Ultimately officers
24:46
Speaker 1: able to conduct a pit maneuver stopping the vehicle. The
24:50
Speaker 1: driver identified as Sarah Rachel Valdez, thirty five years old.
24:56
Speaker 1: She was naked except for a belt with houches around
25:00
Speaker 1: her waist and black boots. That's creating a good visual,
25:04
Speaker 1: isn't it, Joe, She reportedly told officers. She took her
25:07
Speaker 1: clothes off because she was very hot the weather, though
25:12
Speaker 1: described as temperate, officers observed her rapidly going from calm
25:17
Speaker 1: to agitated, showing signs of paranoia, stating that terrorists were
25:21
Speaker 1: trying to kill her. After being detained to the patrol car,
25:24
Speaker 1: she allegedly ripped foam cushioning out of the seat and
25:27
Speaker 1: damaged in InCAR in car camera wires. Resting officer gave
25:31
Speaker 1: Valdie's clothing and the UHP office helped her out of
25:35
Speaker 1: the vehicle. She allegedly began to kick the officers, causing abrasions.
25:38
Speaker 1: From there, taking the Tool County Detention Center, where staff
25:41
Speaker 1: found a seat belt cutter concealed in her boot. As
25:45
Speaker 1: officers were explaining her rights, Valdez allegedly reached through the
25:49
Speaker 1: door of the holding cell, grabbing an officer's throat. He
25:51
Speaker 1: was able to break her grip, at which point Valdez
25:55
Speaker 1: quote began to throw fecal matter at the officer. WHOA,
26:00
Speaker 1: that's a lot of feces. It is a Friday's toya,
26:09
Speaker 1: being held without bail. Rachel vaudis charged with possessing a
26:12
Speaker 1: repping as a detaine, failing to stop a respond to
26:15
Speaker 1: command of a police officer, propelling a substance. I love
26:17
Speaker 1: that one. Propelling a substance. I do believe that's a
26:22
Speaker 1: reference to the vehicle matter, driving under the influence, refusing
26:24
Speaker 1: a chemical task, reckless endangerment, and possession of a controlled substance.
26:28
Speaker 1: The aristocrats right saw that one coming. Joe and good morning, Eric,
26:35
Speaker 1: who's listening from Greenville, South Carolina? Thank you, Eric. I
26:39
Speaker 1: think I just love that. Let us see here, man
26:47
Speaker 1: described as naked from the waist down spotted on Well
26:51
Speaker 1: this is the UK, so it's a thirty five. That's
26:54
Speaker 1: the road near Lindhurst six pm on a Thursday. Woman
27:01
Speaker 1: reported seeing the guy naked from the waist down. Spokesman
27:03
Speaker 1: for the Hampshire Constablari said, we're appealing for information and
27:08
Speaker 1: witnesses following the report of an indecent exposure on the
27:10
Speaker 1: A thirty five. We would like to hear from anyone
27:14
Speaker 1: else who's in the area at the time of the
27:15
Speaker 1: incident who recalls witnessing it or remembers seeing a man
27:18
Speaker 1: described as a white guy wearing a black gym style vest.
27:23
Speaker 1: Do you know the identity of this man? Along with
27:25
Speaker 1: the photograph? I guess the people were asked to call
27:28
Speaker 1: a specific number, kind of like crime stoppers to report
27:30
Speaker 1: the guy. It's kind of a low key Friday Naked story, though.
27:34
Speaker 1: Random dude roaming naked on the streets of the UK
27:38
Speaker 1: turned to South Carolina, Florence specifically, where a South Carolina
27:41
Speaker 1: teacher has been accused of trying to persuade a minor
27:43
Speaker 1: student to engage in a sex act with her through
27:46
Speaker 1: explicit text who's teaching your children do?
27:50
Speaker 7: What the hell?
27:51
Speaker 1: Florence County Sheriff's Office said. Megan Larimore Bolt forty five,
27:58
Speaker 1: charged with the criminal solicitation of a minor accord to
28:01
Speaker 1: the investigators, between April first, twenty six and August fifth,
28:05
Speaker 1: Bolt described as a public school teacher knowingly communicated sexually
28:09
Speaker 1: explicit texts with a minor student thirteen years of age
28:13
Speaker 1: or younger with the intent of persuading the miner to
28:16
Speaker 1: engage in a sexual act. Arrested on the eleventh of
28:20
Speaker 1: this month, booked into Florence kind of detention center on
28:22
Speaker 1: a ten thousand dollars or a ten thousand dollars bond.
28:28
Speaker 1: You know, Joe, unlike so many of these teachers engaging
28:31
Speaker 1: in sex with minor I mean really minor students, A
28:37
Speaker 1: lot of them are you know, I think objectively beautiful
28:42
Speaker 1: and you're scratching your head wondering how like gorgeous twenty
28:44
Speaker 1: five year old woman could need to bother a child.
28:48
Speaker 1: Why would she go after a small child? You know,
28:51
Speaker 1: I'll pick on someone your own size. A woman of
28:53
Speaker 1: your beauty will have no problem finding a real man.
28:55
Speaker 1: For example, this one probably not judging from the bugshot five.
29:03
Speaker 1: That doesn't excuse her desperate efforts. But you know five
29:06
Speaker 1: forty five fifty five to play a Keros detalk station.
29:08
Speaker 1: More stupid coming your way. Phone calls are welcome. Feel
29:10
Speaker 1: free to give me a ring regardless I'll be right back.
29:12
Speaker 4: This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station.
29:21
Speaker 1: It is five point fifty, it is Friday, and thank
29:23
Speaker 1: god for that. Bye. Thomas right here struggling to get
29:29
Speaker 1: through the fifty five carse Morning show this morning. Bringing
29:31
Speaker 1: not firing on all cylinders, as is the case from
29:33
Speaker 1: time to time. Let's go to Sumner, Washington. We've got
29:36
Speaker 1: a man managed to fight a raging fire next to
29:39
Speaker 1: his home with a garden hose. What day is it? Friday? Yes,
29:45
Speaker 1: he was naked as tradition, just after midnight. A fire
29:49
Speaker 1: may have been sparked by fireworks. This was July fifth.
29:53
Speaker 1: The authorities think that they maybe they weren't properly extinguished anyway.
29:56
Speaker 1: A fire started out of the neighborhood over the holiday weekend.
30:02
Speaker 1: Showed the steps that Wesley Howard took get up close
30:06
Speaker 1: with the fire and put it out. It's a sinking
30:10
Speaker 1: feeling of my gut. It's a situation you never expect
30:13
Speaker 1: to see up close. I started spraying it right here.
30:16
Speaker 1: I was close to this close to it. It was
30:19
Speaker 1: raging seven or eight foot above the fence. This is
30:21
Speaker 1: what I had to do, he said. Flames were erupted
30:25
Speaker 1: along the fence line between his home and his neighbors.
30:28
Speaker 1: Howard said his fiance woke him up naked, and without hesitation,
30:33
Speaker 1: he ran outside to fight the fire, which he fought
30:36
Speaker 1: fought for about five minutes with a garden hose. He said,
30:38
Speaker 1: at that moment, every second matters, and that fire could
30:40
Speaker 1: have taken off. We could have lost both homes. At
30:42
Speaker 1: that point, I didn't care if someone saw me naked
30:44
Speaker 1: for a few seconds, and that means saving two homes
30:47
Speaker 1: and two families, because they have kids and we have kids.
30:51
Speaker 1: Once the flame started an eye to die down, he
30:53
Speaker 1: did run back in south inside and put some shorts on,
30:57
Speaker 1: and then went back to work putting the fire out,
31:00
Speaker 1: described as holding the fire back until the East Pierce
31:02
Speaker 1: County Fire Department arrived about ten minutes later. Well, I
31:08
Speaker 1: get to argue, I guess he made the right choice. Okay,
31:13
Speaker 1: let's go back to the UK. Thirty six year old
31:16
Speaker 1: man under the influence of cocaine. As this tradition ran
31:21
Speaker 1: naked through a gas station took place in the early
31:23
Speaker 1: hours of January of this year. Just reported saw a
31:28
Speaker 1: person described as a mobile mechanic, his name Vlad Pomohachi
31:34
Speaker 1: shout and run around naked around the Texaco station before
31:38
Speaker 1: dragging wooden pallettes across the site and throwing them at
31:42
Speaker 1: his own land rover discovery. At one point, Pomahachi attempted
31:47
Speaker 1: to cover himself with a cloth or a piece of clothing,
31:51
Speaker 1: but it kept slipping and he continued exposing himself. Palmahachi
31:55
Speaker 1: had previously admitted to driving while disqualified, driving without insurance,
31:59
Speaker 1: driving with a portion of a specified controlled drug above
32:03
Speaker 1: the specified limit. Yes, we are in the UK and
32:06
Speaker 1: outraging public decency drugs are made. Even though this happened
32:15
Speaker 1: in January. The reason it's report because just the day
32:18
Speaker 1: before yesterday, he appeared without a lawyer in front of
32:21
Speaker 1: the magistrate for sentencing. He was warned by the district
32:25
Speaker 1: judge of the seriousness of his crimes and told he
32:27
Speaker 1: could face possible prison time and was advised to urgently
32:32
Speaker 1: seek legal representation. So they adjourned the case then kicked
32:35
Speaker 1: it to August twenty sixth, when, of course he'll probably
32:37
Speaker 1: end up in jail, and he'll probably show up without
32:39
Speaker 1: a lawyer. Where are we for this one? Let us
32:45
Speaker 1: find out. Morristown man accused of breaking and stealing several
32:49
Speaker 1: live items from Morristown home. He's going to remain in jail.
32:52
Speaker 1: Well's case proceeeds. That's what a judge said. The other day,
32:54
Speaker 1: police said they found Michael Sap thirty one, what day
32:57
Speaker 1: is it, naked on the second floor roof of the
33:00
Speaker 1: Miller Road residents property belonged to the homeowner at his feet.
33:04
Speaker 1: Prosecutors and sits up entered the backyard, removed his clothes,
33:07
Speaker 1: took a swim in the pool, entered the house through
33:09
Speaker 1: an unlocked rear door while the homeowner, his wife, and
33:11
Speaker 1: their daughter were all inside. Homeowner told his wife and
33:15
Speaker 1: Daughta locked themselves in a bedroom while officers responded and
33:18
Speaker 1: searched the property. Sap taking a custody after allegedly telling
33:21
Speaker 1: police quote I know what I did. I'm guilty. Close
33:24
Speaker 1: quote case closed right charge of second degree residential burglary,
33:28
Speaker 1: third degree theft. He appeared virtually from his jail for
33:31
Speaker 1: the hearing. Prosecuting attorney argued that he should remain detained
33:35
Speaker 1: because the new charges showed that the existing conditions of
33:38
Speaker 1: his release, it showed exit. Yeah, he got some priors.
33:42
Speaker 1: I guess failed to protect the community. They're concerned about
33:44
Speaker 1: the community, obviously not in Hamilton County, because they, of
33:47
Speaker 1: course wouldn't even advocate for him staying in jail. The
33:53
Speaker 1: burglary came just ten days after another judge denied the
33:55
Speaker 1: state's request to detain him on separate charges stemming from
33:59
Speaker 1: a prior encounter counter at a business called quick Check. There,
34:04
Speaker 1: Thorty said he took a bottle of gatorade and when
34:06
Speaker 1: confronted by an employee, punched the employee in the face
34:10
Speaker 1: and grabbed his genitals. He was starting the third degree
34:14
Speaker 1: activated assault in third degree terroristic threats and released by
34:19
Speaker 1: Superior Court Judge Claudia Jones much to the same law
34:23
Speaker 1: school as the judges in Hamilton Gunny, at least the
34:27
Speaker 1: woke judges. So they said the burglary in the Morstoun
34:32
Speaker 1: Historic District represented an escalation of his behavior and carried
34:36
Speaker 1: the potential for a dangerous confrontation with homeowners. That was
34:38
Speaker 1: the argument advanced by the prosecutors on why you need
34:40
Speaker 1: to stay in jail. They also pointed to a third
34:42
Speaker 1: degree arson conviction from December of twenty four, which pleaded
34:46
Speaker 1: guilty to spreading a flammable liquid around the car and
34:49
Speaker 1: setting it on fire. He got a year of probation
34:51
Speaker 1: for that one. Oh, I guess he's a recidivist, you know.
34:55
Speaker 1: Actually it goes on and on and on. This guy
34:57
Speaker 1: has a hell of a criminal background. This is the
35:00
Speaker 1: kind of thing that judge is supposed to take into account.
35:02
Speaker 1: The protecting the community element of a bond hearing and
35:05
Speaker 1: whether or not to keep someone in jail, concepts that
35:07
Speaker 1: should be well considered here in Hamilton County, Judge Silverstein.
35:11
Speaker 1: Maybe five fifty six, fifty five car se Detalk Station

37:15
Speaker 1: city manager is in a world of potential hurt. As
37:20
Speaker 1: I understand things from the reading of the UH information
37:23
Speaker 1: that's come out, former chief fire Chief Michael Washington is
37:27
Speaker 1: headed to trial absence settlement. I might interject the court
37:32
Speaker 1: ruled on appeal that the city manager is not shielded
37:36
Speaker 1: by immunity. Court determined Washington was terminated without the pre
37:41
Speaker 1: termination hearing that he was entitled to under the charter.
37:44
Speaker 1: That the jury should now decide whether Cheryl Long violated
37:47
Speaker 1: his due process rights and defamed him. Case is going
37:51
Speaker 1: to be sent back to court. Jury trial is expected
37:53
Speaker 1: to take place unless they were able to settle lost
37:56
Speaker 1: to the ledges, Cheryl violated his rights when she fired
37:59
Speaker 1: him three years ago. Long at the time of the
38:03
Speaker 1: firing claimed multiple women had complained about the workplace culture
38:06
Speaker 1: under his leadership. But shortly after his termination, Washington lawyered
38:10
Speaker 1: up and got Stephen M to represent him and file
38:12
Speaker 1: a lawsuit against the city and Cheryl Long, alleging the
38:15
Speaker 1: filing was unjust and unlawful and violated his civil rights.
38:19
Speaker 1: Court documents showed the judge ruled for the city and
38:21
Speaker 1: Long ruled that the city and Long did not provide
38:25
Speaker 1: Washington due process before his termination. That's a ruling that's
38:29
Speaker 1: already on file, and Christopher's made that point before they've
38:31
Speaker 1: already determined he was wrongfully terminated. So I suppose that
38:35
Speaker 1: Jerry Trouss just to figure out damages, maybe determined cher
38:38
Speaker 1: a Long personally responsible. City appealed the underlying decision. Appeals
38:43
Speaker 1: court has now upheld that lower court's ruling, and Cheryl
38:46
Speaker 1: Long is now between the crossairs of personal liability. It
38:49
Speaker 1: sounds like Mike Washington. Lawyer Stephen m said, we could
38:56
Speaker 1: not be more pleased with the decision we received the
38:58
Speaker 1: day from the Court of Appeals. Since has never had
39:00
Speaker 1: a fire chief more dedicated to more accomplished than Mike Washington.
39:03
Speaker 1: His wrongful termination was an unfortunate stain on this great city.
39:08
Speaker 1: We're looking forward to a trial as soon as possible
39:10
Speaker 1: so that stain can be removed and so that Mike
39:12
Speaker 1: can get back with what was so disgracefully taken from him.
39:16
Speaker 1: And it's widely reported Chief Washington with his cloud hanging
39:19
Speaker 1: over his head, terminated for his conduct on duty, which
39:23
Speaker 1: turns out was wrongful termination. He's not hadn't been able
39:25
Speaker 1: to get a job. Hmm. I'd let us turn standing
39:33
Speaker 1: on the shoulders of giants, which I kind of do
39:35
Speaker 1: on days when I'm well misfiring on my brain cylinders,
39:37
Speaker 1: which is one of these days today. But the amazing
39:41
Speaker 1: points made by Kim Strasso over the Wall Street Journal
39:43
Speaker 1: as we deal with woke one versus woke too, and
39:46
Speaker 1: all of these left wing politicians back peddling over what
39:50
Speaker 1: positions they were really proud of advancing previously and now
39:54
Speaker 1: are hiding from because going back to my rambling discussion
39:57
Speaker 1: last hour, people started talking about it after being yelled
40:01
Speaker 1: at and docked and screamed at about how insensitive they were,
40:04
Speaker 1: or whatever arguments the left was using to keep you
40:07
Speaker 1: shut up and quiet over your opinions on these matters.
40:10
Speaker 1: Once we start, we hear about them over and over
40:12
Speaker 1: and over them. The veneer of their arguments wears off
40:15
Speaker 1: when we finally apreach the appreciate the concept of backcrap
40:18
Speaker 1: insane and reject them. And when you advance batcrap insane
40:22
Speaker 1: politicians and they're on the national theater, even in a
40:26
Speaker 1: local race, and you hear what they had to say
40:28
Speaker 1: versus what they're trying to convince you they are. Now
40:30
Speaker 1: you realize someone is lying. Were they lying then or
40:34
Speaker 1: are they lying now? That's kind of the backdrop for
40:36
Speaker 1: Kim Strassel's comments, and she writes, sometimes what resonates isn't
40:40
Speaker 1: what politicians say, but the accompanying emotion. Ronald Reagan's put
40:44
Speaker 1: down a Walter Mondale's youth and inexperience in nineteen eighty
40:47
Speaker 1: four worked only because it came with a suppressed grin.
40:50
Speaker 1: Senator Ed Muskie's New Hampshire tears in nineteen seventy two
40:54
Speaker 1: made him look weak. Howard Dean. You remember the Dean screen.
40:58
Speaker 1: Howard Dean might have survived a disappointing finished in the
41:00
Speaker 1: two thousand and four Iowa Caucus if he hadn't screamed.
41:04
Speaker 1: Representative Alexandria Casio Cortez just exposed an entire movement's disingenuousness
41:10
Speaker 1: with a laugh. Most of the attention has been on
41:13
Speaker 1: the New York Democrats socialist words of this past weekend,
41:16
Speaker 1: her trivialization of a perilous moment in American politics and culture. Quote,
41:21
Speaker 1: woke one was crazy close. Quote that's what said to
41:25
Speaker 1: Jonathan curl over a to ABC in reference to calls
41:28
Speaker 1: to eliminate the police. And then she followed that up
41:30
Speaker 1: with a laugh. Kim Strassel, woke one was never funny.
41:38
Speaker 1: Check in with the Americans who lost their jobs or friends,
41:40
Speaker 1: or who were otherwise canceled for refusing to fall in
41:43
Speaker 1: line with COVID orthodoxy, for laundering, or for landing on
41:47
Speaker 1: the wrong side of the hashtag me too rush, or
41:50
Speaker 1: for failing to renounce their whiteness abjectly enough as the
41:54
Speaker 1: millions more who were branded Nazis and fascists and biggots
41:57
Speaker 1: and the xenophobes for wanting to secure the order or
42:01
Speaker 1: declining to affirm that men can get pregnant. More tragically
42:05
Speaker 1: as the victims of criminals who were let loose by
42:07
Speaker 1: progressive prosecutors Hamilton Counny the six people run over by
42:12
Speaker 1: an f SUV and Walkeshaw, Wisconsin Christma parade in twenty
42:15
Speaker 1: twenty one by a man with the long record of
42:17
Speaker 1: violent crimes. Those folks are never coming back. Is this
42:22
Speaker 1: the part of where we laugh with aoc ha Woke One?
42:27
Speaker 1: It's inappropriate even a label it woke, which carries to
42:30
Speaker 1: which today carries an a lighthearted, even dismissive feel, or
42:35
Speaker 1: labor look crazy, which suggests brief unreason or a moment
42:39
Speaker 1: that just happened. Aoc dished up those excuses, complete with
42:44
Speaker 1: a dash of polysized jargon, to close the book, explaining
42:48
Speaker 1: that during this time, especially during COVID, there was a
42:51
Speaker 1: huge opening of the Overton window. That's what she said,
42:56
Speaker 1: a moment to entertain any and every pop Her words
43:02
Speaker 1: such wild times that misstates the timeline and sells short.
43:06
Speaker 1: The dedicated purveyors of Woke One well before COVID, AOC
43:11
Speaker 1: had introduced her Green New Deal, a trojan horse for
43:14
Speaker 1: a government economic takeover. Nancy Pelosi had introduced to build
43:17
Speaker 1: a federalized elections. Dishonest scholars and journalists were rewriting history
43:21
Speaker 1: to justify radical policies. The nation was handed a new
43:25
Speaker 1: enforced lexicon equity. The unhoused cisgender birthing persons, LATINX mobs
43:35
Speaker 1: were mobilized doors our donors tapped costly campaign's wage to
43:40
Speaker 1: pressure corporations, organize universities, rewrite policy platforms, elect radicals, and
43:45
Speaker 1: silence dissenters. The Biden administration adopted much of this as
43:49
Speaker 1: official policy and tasks the federal apparatus with strictly enforcing DEI,
43:54
Speaker 1: redefining Title nine at women's expense, creating the Disinformation Government's Board.
43:59
Speaker 1: Yeah that was a thing like that, and imposing environmental
44:02
Speaker 1: justice Again those words in quotes, haha woke one. AOC's
44:08
Speaker 1: Mia Cuba nones was no expression of political conversion. History
44:13
Speaker 1: is littered with examples of serious men and women who
44:16
Speaker 1: begin with one political persuasion, then through thought and experience,
44:22
Speaker 1: shifted to a new position, and then explained why AOC
44:25
Speaker 1: not only didn't offer any apology for past crazy, she
44:30
Speaker 1: didn't offer any account of how she so quickly evolved
44:32
Speaker 1: from wanting to end all policing to wanting as low
44:35
Speaker 1: crime rate as possible. That's a cosmic shift that calls
44:40
Speaker 1: into question her movement's entire worldview. Does she no longer
44:45
Speaker 1: believe mass incarceration is a function of white supremacy as
44:49
Speaker 1: she did in twenty nineteen? Does she still think police
44:52
Speaker 1: brutality is a public health crisis? Would she still end
44:56
Speaker 1: qualified immunity? Why or why not? We're not told woke one.
45:04
Speaker 1: The only thing the radical left seems to have learned
45:06
Speaker 1: is that some policies are so toxic politically as to
45:09
Speaker 1: deny them office, and so must be massaged or disappeared,
45:16
Speaker 1: at least for now. See a failed Washington gubernatorial hopeful
45:20
Speaker 1: Francesco Hong, who tried so hard to walk back her
45:23
Speaker 1: calls to abolish Thanksgiving. Or Michigan Democratic US Senate nominee
45:28
Speaker 1: Abdul l Sayed, who has deleted from public view a
45:31
Speaker 1: big stash of YouTube files, including ones in which he
45:34
Speaker 1: called the defund police and says Fourth of July fireworks
45:38
Speaker 1: suck and suggested replacing the Second Amendment with the constitutional
45:42
Speaker 1: right to healthcare. In response to CNN queries about the deletions,
45:47
Speaker 1: his campaign complained that quote cherry pick comments from old
45:51
Speaker 1: podcasts don't reflect his beliefs today close quote. Mister sayed,
45:55
Speaker 1: forty one made his fireworks comments not in the Crazy
45:59
Speaker 1: Old Day twenty twenty, but in July A, twenty twenty four.
46:04
Speaker 1: It's also too much to ask Americans to blink away
46:07
Speaker 1: Woke one when Woke two or whatever version we're on,
46:11
Speaker 1: is just as noxious. Take again to the New Democratic
46:14
Speaker 1: Socialist America platform, which calls to abolish entire segments of
46:18
Speaker 1: the Constitution and for a world quote without capitalism close quote.
46:24
Speaker 1: The question every voter needs to ask, is this, in
46:28
Speaker 1: the absence of an explanation for the radical left scurry
46:31
Speaker 1: from its past, should anyone trust that, once in power,
46:36
Speaker 1: with passions running high, we wouldn't be right back to
46:40
Speaker 1: woke one. Maybe we should give AOC credit for knowing
46:45
Speaker 1: exactly what she's doing. Mi Mister rassel Well stated, no kidding.
46:50
Speaker 1: Does anyone truly believe these people have walked back the
46:53
Speaker 1: crap they're trying to sell? The illogical, unreasonable, and rejected
47:00
Speaker 1: by the American people so much that candidates well advancing
47:04
Speaker 1: those platforms lose their races. Not in all case, I'll
47:06
Speaker 1: grant you six seventeen fifty five krc DE talk station
47:13
Speaker 1: five one three seven, Well there's my water again, seven
47:16
Speaker 1: fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk
47:19
Speaker 1: pound five fifty on AT and T phones. Six fifty
47:25
Speaker 1: five KRCD talk station Happy Friday Tech credit. Da've hatt
47:28
Speaker 1: to coming to the next segment, David Happy. It's Friday, definitely,
47:34
Speaker 1: and we got a new Health in Human Services report
47:36
Speaker 1: out gender care fraud for profit, says Health and Human
47:42
Speaker 1: Services Department. Jadvans brought this cebody's attention yesterday, letting revealing
47:45
Speaker 1: the report wolves in White Coats, how doctors and hospitals
47:49
Speaker 1: pushed and profited from the fraud of gender at medicine.
47:53
Speaker 1: Van said, you know, it turns out that convincing vulnerable
47:56
Speaker 1: children to reject their gender care can create patients for life,
47:58
Speaker 1: earning hospital tens of thousands of dollars maybe more in
48:01
Speaker 1: additional revenue per child. Apparently, reviewed insurance claims file between
48:06
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen and twenty twenty five, they found fifty million
48:09
Speaker 1: dollars in claims for puberty blocking drugs build under a
48:12
Speaker 1: diagnostic code for an unspecified endocrine disorder. There's iced eleven
48:18
Speaker 1: codes out there. You got to code it properly. You
48:20
Speaker 1: can hide the real reason you're providing care behind a
48:24
Speaker 1: improper code. And that's the suggestion that's going on here.
48:27
Speaker 1: It wasn't brought to everybody's attention because oh, Okay, there's
48:30
Speaker 1: an endocrine disorder, go ahead, prescribe the puity blocking drug
48:33
Speaker 1: for that case. Apparently it's a recognized medical practice. So
48:36
Speaker 1: this has been revealed and they're looking into it. It's
48:38
Speaker 1: been referred over to the Department of Justice for investigation.
48:41
Speaker 1: But some of the cases that they reveal in this
48:44
Speaker 1: Wolves in White Codes report are appalling, and I will
48:48
Speaker 1: steer you toward the New York Post nhypost dot com.
48:52
Speaker 1: I think it the headline de transitioners share sex change
48:55
Speaker 1: horror stories about doctors pressuring them as impressionable teens. A
49:00
Speaker 1: car salesman said one of them, in terms of what
49:02
Speaker 1: they were trying to shove down this poor just poor
49:05
Speaker 1: poor person, child, I should say, and the struggles that
49:09
Speaker 1: they were facing, which medical professionals blamed on gender dysphoria.
49:14
Speaker 1: And encouraged them to change their sex. Although the camping
49:17
Speaker 1: dined the just give you one illustration here, this is
49:19
Speaker 1: what you're gonna read about, and there's multiple stories they
49:22
Speaker 1: talk about with individual children. Twelve year old Clementine Breen
49:28
Speaker 1: anxious about obviously going through puberty here while also grappling
49:33
Speaker 1: with what is described as unprocessed trauma from sexual abuse
49:37
Speaker 1: that this child had been been through years earlier. So desperate,
49:42
Speaker 1: you know, struggling cognitively in you know, just having problems.
49:47
Speaker 1: Twelve year olds can go through this. Ah discovered transitioning
49:51
Speaker 1: gender concepts in an Internet search and thought it might
49:54
Speaker 1: be the refuge from her puberty fears. So she confided
49:58
Speaker 1: with a guidance counselor at school that reached out to
50:00
Speaker 1: her parents, and apparently within months counselor had coordinated meetings
50:04
Speaker 1: about her social transition, which included explaining the concept of
50:08
Speaker 1: transgenderism to her classmates, let everybody know about it, had
50:13
Speaker 1: a medical appointment at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. They
50:16
Speaker 1: had a one hour medical appointment, at which time the
50:19
Speaker 1: doctors determined and convinced her parents that she was one
50:21
Speaker 1: hundred percent trends and at a high risk of suicide
50:24
Speaker 1: if she didn't engage in medical intervention. Her parents were convinced,
50:29
Speaker 1: so she was placed on puberty blockers then testosterone at
50:33
Speaker 1: age thirteen, before undergoing a double mess sectomy at age fourteen.
50:39
Speaker 1: Her mental health described as cratering. She had a psychotic episode,
50:44
Speaker 1: began suffering from insomnia, disordered eating, fits of anger. None
50:49
Speaker 1: of her doctors attributed those symptoms to her hormone therapy,
50:52
Speaker 1: instead started loading her up on psychiatric drugs, including Zola,
50:56
Speaker 1: sarah Quell, glamfesine, hydros is, hy hydrazine, whatever you get it. No, no, no,
51:06
Speaker 1: it's not we're putting her through here, have some psychiatric drugs.
51:10
Speaker 1: Only once she started undergoing serious therapy. The New York
51:14
Speaker 1: Post reports about this report for her condition, did she
51:17
Speaker 1: realize that gender confusion probably stem from her sexual abuse.
51:22
Speaker 1: She stopped taking testosterone at eighteen. The aftermath of her
51:26
Speaker 1: body couldn't be that bel couldn't be unwrung, dealing with
51:30
Speaker 1: irregular menstruation cycles, and of course, she had her breast removed.
51:34
Speaker 1: It required estrogen to reverse the damage of the hormone
51:37
Speaker 1: that she was hormones that she was on. She started
51:40
Speaker 1: pursuing breast reconstructive surgery and then began to face resistance
51:43
Speaker 1: from doctors, people questioning her mental stability, and some even
51:47
Speaker 1: ghosting her and refusing to respond. Those are medical professionals
51:50
Speaker 1: about her decision to not go down the transition road.
51:54
Speaker 1: And here's the ultimate point on this, just one instance,
51:58
Speaker 1: many of which are revealed in this report as well
52:00
Speaker 1: as the underlying Wolves and White Coats report. Quote how
52:04
Speaker 1: can a child this is the kid that went through it.
52:07
Speaker 1: How can a child consent to losing fertility or the
52:10
Speaker 1: ability to breastfeed if no one checks whether she even
52:14
Speaker 1: understands what that means? Close? Quote Yeah, these are Mangla
52:21
Speaker 1: like experiments our kids are going through. Don't go away.
52:24
Speaker 1: We got Tech Friday with Dave Hatter coming up next.
52:27
Speaker 3: From fifty five kors the talk station.
52:31
Speaker 1: Five krcity talk station plagued with technical difficulties and for me,
52:35
Speaker 1: cognitive difficulties. This morning Tech Friday. Dave Hatter, can you
52:38
Speaker 1: hear me now?
52:39
Speaker 8: I got you, Brian, Sorry about that.
52:41
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what happened then, neither are we, but
52:43
Speaker 1: we need interrust it dot Com to come over here
52:45
Speaker 1: and fix our phone system. So there you have it. Anyhow,
52:48
Speaker 1: I mentioned out loud that interust it probably does cybersecurity
52:52
Speaker 1: contingency plans for its clients. Can you confirm that yes?
52:57
Speaker 1: Which is what they there? You go, which is what
52:59
Speaker 1: happened in North Carolina ports which I got cyber attack.
53:02
Speaker 1: The port authority said they had to activated cybersecurity contingency plan.
53:06
Speaker 1: What is going on here? Because last week you were
53:09
Speaker 1: talking about our water systems, twelve of them in different
53:11
Speaker 1: states being hacked, maybe by the Iranians. This a comparable
53:14
Speaker 1: kind of thing here in North Carolina.
53:16
Speaker 8: It is Brian and you and I have talked about
53:19
Speaker 8: this type of thing often on many times. I want
53:21
Speaker 8: to remind your listeners. First off, there's an organization called Infraguard.
53:25
Speaker 8: It's public private partnership with the FBI. We have a
53:28
Speaker 8: very active chapter in Cincinnati. One of my colleagues of
53:32
Speaker 8: interest is the president of that chapter. So we meet
53:35
Speaker 8: regularly Britas share information with the FBI and both directions
53:38
Speaker 8: about what's happening out there to better protect our critical infrastructure.
53:42
Speaker 8: The FBI has defined sixteen critical infrastructure sectors. There's another organization,
53:47
Speaker 8: the Foundation for Infrastructure Resilience, which is the spinoff of
53:50
Speaker 8: infra Guard and focused exclusively, exclusively on infrastructure, and within
53:56
Speaker 8: the past two weeks, all the things I have been
53:59
Speaker 8: warning about for a long time are starting to come
54:01
Speaker 8: to fruition. You know, we've been talking about critical infrastructure
54:05
Speaker 8: attacks on the power grid, the telecom grid, water, chemicals, logistics.
54:10
Speaker 8: You know, Brian, all this stuff is interconnected now, right.
54:12
Speaker 8: Everything is digital. This system talks to that system, and
54:16
Speaker 8: if the water goes down, that's bad. If electricity goes down,
54:20
Speaker 8: it's going to take the water and plus everything else
54:22
Speaker 8: with it. And so much of the stuff that we
54:26
Speaker 8: rely on today is full of software. It's connected to
54:29
Speaker 8: the internet, it relies on software, it relies on these connections.
54:33
Speaker 8: We talked about the Striker attack. Striker makes medical equipment.
54:36
Speaker 8: Now that's not infrastructure per se, but it's related because
54:40
Speaker 8: the medical equipment they makes up in things like ambulances.
54:43
Speaker 8: So we've seen all these attacks. You mentioned the water.
54:46
Speaker 8: Now twelve different states at least have reported some type
54:49
Speaker 8: of attack on water plants. We've got this attack on
54:52
Speaker 8: the ports where you know, these big cranes can't get
54:56
Speaker 8: stuff off ships. There's yet another city, another in California
55:01
Speaker 8: this past week that reported an attack on their nine
55:03
Speaker 8: to one to one system that knocked it offline. We've
55:06
Speaker 8: seen the attack on Cattering Health Again. All these things
55:10
Speaker 8: are interconnected. And the point I'm trying to make Brian
55:12
Speaker 8: is we have got to get serious about protecting this
55:15
Speaker 8: critical infrastructure, defending it. But to your point, having contingency plans,
55:20
Speaker 8: having a business continuity plan so that when these critical
55:23
Speaker 8: systems go down, some of which are not just impactful
55:27
Speaker 8: to society but actually will create a crisis when they
55:30
Speaker 8: don't work, We've got to have backup plans. We have
55:34
Speaker 8: to have business continuity plans. How are we going to
55:36
Speaker 8: operate if and when the system goes down for whatever reason,
55:39
Speaker 8: Because it doesn't have to be a cyber attack. It
55:41
Speaker 8: could be solar flare, it could be EMP attack, it
55:44
Speaker 8: could be faulty software, and sadly, in my opinion, we
55:49
Speaker 8: are not taking these things seriously still, despite the fact
55:52
Speaker 8: that this keeps showing up in the news over and
55:54
Speaker 8: over now attacks who had.
55:57
Speaker 1: Not it used to? I mean, here's Brian Thomas' perception
56:01
Speaker 1: of things, maybe to be corrected by Dave Hatter, who
56:04
Speaker 1: knows more about this than I ever hope to. But
56:06
Speaker 1: the idea that it would require a person with a
56:09
Speaker 1: certain level of sophistication to engage in this kind of
56:12
Speaker 1: hacking where they could find an Internet of Things device
56:14
Speaker 1: and breach it because of some flaw in the software
56:18
Speaker 1: that was designed, it didn't adequately deal with security, and
56:21
Speaker 1: they can therefore worm their way in. So you got
56:23
Speaker 1: to understand it in order to be able to engage
56:25
Speaker 1: in that. But as I understand artificial intelligence, if you
56:27
Speaker 1: can ask AI to well, tell me how to make
56:30
Speaker 1: an aerosolized weapon, or you can ask it to generate
56:33
Speaker 1: code for you and it can do it. You can
56:36
Speaker 1: ask it to perform a task and it will engage
56:38
Speaker 1: in hacking to accomplish that. It figured out how to
56:42
Speaker 1: hack on its own. So I have this vision of
56:44
Speaker 1: some twelve year old kid with access to artificial intelligence programs,
56:48
Speaker 1: maybe found in the dark web, with no guardrails on it,
56:50
Speaker 1: asking it to crack into and explain how to break
56:54
Speaker 1: into any given Internet of Things device. It can be
56:57
Speaker 1: done that way, can it? Dave? You are correct?
57:01
Speaker 8: So many of these devices right, these Internet of Things devices,
57:05
Speaker 8: skata ICs systems, you know, sensors, the things that are
57:09
Speaker 8: running these plants. Okay, they were not designed with security
57:13
Speaker 8: in mind. They weren't designed to be connected to the Internet.
57:16
Speaker 8: A lot of this happened during the COVID pandemic so
57:18
Speaker 8: that people could work remotely. And yeah, there are tools
57:22
Speaker 8: like Showdan. It's a search engine designed to find these things.
57:25
Speaker 8: So exactly to your point, Brian, if I can determine
57:28
Speaker 8: that your plant, whatever it is, chemical plant making chlorine
57:32
Speaker 8: gas for example, has these sensors exposed to the Internet,
57:36
Speaker 8: and exposed to the Internet, makes it easy. Doesn't mean
57:39
Speaker 8: it can't happen even if you haven't done that. And
57:41
Speaker 8: I don't want to get too nerdy on you. But
57:43
Speaker 8: if I can find these devices through a tool like Showdan,
57:46
Speaker 8: and I can figure out what the device is, then yeah,
57:49
Speaker 8: I can go in and ask some AI tool, Okay,
57:52
Speaker 8: this is the model, make, and model number of this device.
57:55
Speaker 8: What vulnerabilities does it have? How could I attack this thing? Now?
57:58
Speaker 8: Theoretically these tools to have guardrails in place to prevent
58:01
Speaker 8: that sort of thing, But we hear about it being
58:03
Speaker 8: broken all the time, and in some cases some of
58:08
Speaker 8: the reporting on the water plants, as I understand it,
58:11
Speaker 8: one hundred different water plants ish in twelve different states.
58:15
Speaker 8: In some cases they literally just changed the password and
58:19
Speaker 8: lock people out of the system.
58:21
Speaker 1: Right.
58:21
Speaker 8: One plant was shut down for at least a short
58:23
Speaker 8: period of time. One had to revert to manual operations.
58:27
Speaker 8: And that gets back to that idea of contingency or
58:29
Speaker 8: business continuity. You know, I always hate to be the
58:32
Speaker 8: doomsday guy, Brian, but we are in a place where
58:35
Speaker 8: a lot of this stuff is not secured correctly. It's old,
58:38
Speaker 8: it's difficult to secure, and you know, we have got
58:41
Speaker 8: to get focused on what are we going to do
58:44
Speaker 8: to protect it? And then what are we going to
58:45
Speaker 8: do when it fails for whatever reason? Do we have
58:47
Speaker 8: a plant to go back to manual operations? What This
58:53
Speaker 8: past couple of weeks really has brought this into a
58:55
Speaker 8: fine focus for me and many others. Again, I've been
58:58
Speaker 8: talking about this for years, but we're now starting to
59:02
Speaker 8: see more and more attacks. And you know, when we
59:05
Speaker 8: have nation state adversaries like Russia, China, ran North Korea
59:09
Speaker 8: whose goal is not money, it's not to extort money
59:11
Speaker 8: from these plants necessarily, it's to shut them down. It's
59:15
Speaker 8: to cause chaos. It's to inflict damage in the United States,
59:19
Speaker 8: terrorist attack, it is, it really is, and now Unfortunately,
59:24
Speaker 8: because we have such an interconnected digital society and because
59:27
Speaker 8: most of this stuff was not designed with security in mind.
59:31
Speaker 8: You know, it's creating a significant problem for us and
59:36
Speaker 8: frankly a huge advantage for our enemies because they can
59:39
Speaker 8: cause chaos without ever firing a shot. You know, they
59:42
Speaker 8: can potentially cause the collapse of the electrical grid or
59:45
Speaker 8: the telecom grid. You know, all interconnected with the telecom
59:48
Speaker 8: grid goes down, many of these systems will stop working anyway.
59:51
Speaker 8: So yeah, the good news is people like the Foundation
59:54
Speaker 8: for Infrastructure Resilience Infraguard, FBI, DHS, SIZA talking about working
1:00:00
Speaker 8: on it, trying to convince the operators of these systems
1:00:03
Speaker 8: to get serious about this. It's a big challenge. We
1:00:06
Speaker 8: need more people involved, we need more people talking about it.
1:00:09
Speaker 8: And I can't stress enough. We have got to get
1:00:13
Speaker 8: on this now.
1:00:15
Speaker 1: Amen, don't go away. We get a little bit insight
1:00:18
Speaker 1: about smart watch for kids. Maybe it's a bad idea.
1:00:21
Speaker 1: Plus Deep talk Station six forty nine, if you about
1:00:26
Speaker 1: carc De talk station and that Friday it's tech Friday
1:00:28
Speaker 1: with Dave Hatter. Intrust it dot Com sponsored the segment
1:00:31
Speaker 1: and they will solve your business computer problems here in
1:00:33
Speaker 1: the greater Cincinnati area. Dave Hatter can be found on
1:00:36
Speaker 1: LinkedIn dot com. Just search for Dave Hatter. He'll have
1:00:39
Speaker 1: all the articles he relies upon for this segment throughout
1:00:42
Speaker 1: the week with other issues he likes to bring to
1:00:44
Speaker 1: people's attention. Dave Hatter pivoting over. I mean, my kids
1:00:48
Speaker 1: are grown, they're adults, are thirty and thirty two, and
1:00:50
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about whether they wear a smart
1:00:51
Speaker 1: watch or not. Neither of them do. But smart watch
1:00:54
Speaker 1: for kids probably a bad idea. Look, you can get
1:00:57
Speaker 1: stocked through them.
1:00:59
Speaker 8: Yeah, people, really, I encourage every one of your listeners
1:01:02
Speaker 8: of it. I'll post this link. You need to read
1:01:04
Speaker 8: this story because it goes well beyond the kids smart watch.
1:01:08
Speaker 8: It's any of our so called smart devices, right, Internet
1:01:12
Speaker 8: of things aka smart devices. So let me just hit
1:01:14
Speaker 8: the high points. This is from Wired magazine. Hackers stalked
1:01:17
Speaker 8: me by hijacking a smart watch for kids. Again, this
1:01:22
Speaker 8: is just one illustration. It's not saying if you don't
1:01:24
Speaker 8: have a kid smart watch, this can't happen to you.
1:01:27
Speaker 8: Oh let's see, this guy's working with some hacker strikas.
1:01:32
Speaker 8: The hacker had been minding the reporter's location via the
1:01:34
Speaker 8: watch since the moment he left his apartment to watch.
1:01:36
Speaker 8: His GPS feature intended to let parents track their children
1:01:39
Speaker 8: with malfunctioning, but the wearable device was still picking up
1:01:42
Speaker 8: and transmitting the faraway server identifiers from the airvery nearby
1:01:46
Speaker 8: Wi Fi network. Okay, let me keep going. When the
1:01:49
Speaker 8: reporter arrived at wires Manhattan headquarters an hour later, Stikes
1:01:53
Speaker 8: had hijacked a feature in the watch which allowed him
1:01:56
Speaker 8: to silently take a photo from its camera, capturing the
1:01:58
Speaker 8: moment when a reporter stepped on elevator. After a few minutes,
1:02:01
Speaker 8: he took another snap of the reporter at his desk.
1:02:03
Speaker 8: I'm going to skip ahead a bit here used a
1:02:05
Speaker 8: different feature to pick up audio from the watch's microphone,
1:02:08
Speaker 8: transmitting it to another researcher. Another guy listened as the
1:02:13
Speaker 8: reporter's coworker described his weekend to visit an art exhibit.
1:02:15
Speaker 8: At no point did the watch show any sign that
1:02:18
Speaker 8: it was listening, taking photos, or otherwise being hacked. Let
1:02:22
Speaker 8: me jump ahead here. The watch, sold by an obscure
1:02:25
Speaker 8: company called CJC, costs less than thirty dollars and made
1:02:28
Speaker 8: by an equally obscure manufacturer. Wait for it, Brian, assuming
1:02:33
Speaker 8: I'm pronouncing it correctly, Why quing King Electronics and Shins
1:02:37
Speaker 8: in China. More troubling, Yeah. More troubling, perhaps, is the
1:02:41
Speaker 8: online platform it's built on, and the one that allowed
1:02:43
Speaker 8: Stichis and Solafarini to so throw her hacket so thoroughly hacke.
1:02:47
Speaker 8: It is used by dozens of other brands of smart watch.
1:02:51
Speaker 8: When I try to explain to people that these so
1:02:55
Speaker 8: called smart devices are garbage, this is exactly the sort
1:02:59
Speaker 8: of thing I'm trying to explain. If it has a
1:03:01
Speaker 8: microphone and a camera in it, it can be hacked.
1:03:04
Speaker 8: It can be turned on without your knowledge. There are
1:03:07
Speaker 8: well documented cases from years ago of the FBI doing
1:03:11
Speaker 8: this with people's computers and then going to jail. You know,
1:03:15
Speaker 8: you can be tracked, you can be listened to, you
1:03:17
Speaker 8: can be surveilled, you can be watched it. Imagine yourself, Brian,
1:03:21
Speaker 8: you're an attorney. Imagine yourself in a litigation with a
1:03:25
Speaker 8: client you know that's potentially going to jail or just
1:03:27
Speaker 8: some big business deal, and and someone is hacking these
1:03:31
Speaker 8: devices to listen to you. See, you know what you're
1:03:34
Speaker 8: going to say in court.
1:03:36
Speaker 1: Outside of that, it's another great illustration intellectual property fab
1:03:39
Speaker 1: You're sitting around in an office with you, your your confidence,
1:03:42
Speaker 1: or your fellow researchers talking about some brand new thing
1:03:44
Speaker 1: you guys have invented or created, and someone's listening in
1:03:47
Speaker 1: hul how about that. It's man, it's this scary stuff.
1:03:50
Speaker 8: Or or military secrets I'm stolen. You know, we're spending
1:03:54
Speaker 8: all kinds of money trying to protect this stuff, and
1:03:57
Speaker 8: people are you know, whether it's their smart watch, they're smartphone,
1:04:00
Speaker 8: there's smart coffee maker, fill in the blank. These things
1:04:04
Speaker 8: are increasingly being used for these sorts of nefarious purposes.
1:04:08
Speaker 8: I know this sounds crazy to people, but think about
1:04:10
Speaker 8: it for a second. In the old days, and there's
1:04:13
Speaker 8: an I've been a posted in my note. There's a
1:04:15
Speaker 8: guy wrote an article about this the other day that
1:04:18
Speaker 8: ended up on LinkedIn. It's just a LinkedIn story, but
1:04:21
Speaker 8: he's he's basically a guy who in the old days
1:04:24
Speaker 8: you would hire to come in and sleeping room for bugs.
1:04:26
Speaker 8: And the point he's making is the entire thing has
1:04:29
Speaker 8: changed now. Now I don't have to figure out how
1:04:30
Speaker 8: to break into your facility at night and plan a
1:04:33
Speaker 8: bug that you can't see. You are walking around with
1:04:36
Speaker 8: all the bugs on you. You're bringing them into the room.
1:04:39
Speaker 8: I just have to figure out how to hack that bug. So,
1:04:42
Speaker 8: you know the old days of the like you'd watch
1:04:44
Speaker 8: Columbo and we're gonna sweep this room for bugs and
1:04:46
Speaker 8: that sort of thing. That's all gone right. Yeah, the
1:04:50
Speaker 8: smart clock, you have, the coffee maker, the thermos, that
1:04:54
Speaker 8: might be the bug. Yeah, And I don't know how
1:04:57
Speaker 8: we convince people, I'm not saying.
1:05:00
Speaker 1: And they use your Wi Fi system to figure out
1:05:02
Speaker 1: who is in the house, where they are located and everything.
1:05:04
Speaker 1: And they can do that without even you know, with looking.
1:05:06
Speaker 1: It's like essentially looking through walls, making them invisible by
1:05:09
Speaker 1: using the Wi Fi system.
1:05:11
Speaker 8: Yeah, every one of your listeners needs to read this
1:05:14
Speaker 8: Wired article. I think they'll be shocked if you really
1:05:17
Speaker 8: read it and think about it. And I mean, we
1:05:19
Speaker 8: need to rethink.
1:05:21
Speaker 1: And it goes back to the.
1:05:22
Speaker 8: Last article about critical infrastructure. Right, could I get the
1:05:25
Speaker 8: secrets I need to attack your critical infrastructure because you're
1:05:28
Speaker 8: wearing a smart watch that I've hacked and I'm listening
1:05:30
Speaker 8: to you talk about it. Maybe you know again, I'm
1:05:33
Speaker 8: not possibilities endless yeah, we don't need smartphones and so forth.
1:05:37
Speaker 8: I'm saying, we have to rethink how these devices are used,
1:05:41
Speaker 8: the security feature of these factors and features of these devices,
1:05:44
Speaker 8: and we need to stop buying stuff that is coming
1:05:47
Speaker 8: from China.
1:05:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I was thinking of the old movie
1:05:50
Speaker 1: The Invisible Man. And when you contemplate that you can
1:05:53
Speaker 1: go into a room no one knows you're there, you
1:05:54
Speaker 1: can see everything you're hidden. This is exactly like being
1:05:57
Speaker 1: an invisible man.
1:05:59
Speaker 8: Yes, that's an excellent analogy, except you can do it
1:06:03
Speaker 8: remotely from China or Russia or Iran or wherever you are.
1:06:06
Speaker 8: With millions of these devices.
1:06:09
Speaker 1: Contemplate that really scary.
1:06:12
Speaker 8: And I don't know how to convince people to stop
1:06:15
Speaker 8: buying this stuff because most people, when I have these conversations,
1:06:18
Speaker 8: person just look at me like, well, that's crazy, that
1:06:21
Speaker 8: could never happen.
1:06:22
Speaker 1: Well, here you go. Well you know the parallel and
1:06:25
Speaker 1: that I can draw, it's like a toddler with the
1:06:27
Speaker 1: hands over the ears and eyes closed, going la la
1:06:30
Speaker 1: la la, la, la, la la la. They just don't
1:06:34
Speaker 1: want to hear that. They like the convenience or for
1:06:36
Speaker 1: whatever that device does for them so much so that
1:06:39
Speaker 1: they're going to ignore the painful reality that this goes
1:06:44
Speaker 1: on often and maybe very well be going on with
1:06:47
Speaker 1: their own smart device. David, it's great advice, man, great advice.
1:07:05
Speaker 1: Seven oh five, Come on up with seven to six
1:07:07
Speaker 1: seventy five KERCDE Talk Station. Brian Thomas wishing everyone Happy
1:07:11
Speaker 1: Friday and an ex special extra special Happy Friday, the
1:07:14
Speaker 1: return of and It's been too long Dave Williams from
1:07:16
Speaker 1: the Taxpayer Protection Alliance. You can find Dave and the
1:07:18
Speaker 1: crew online at Protecting Taxpayers dot org, where they are
1:07:22
Speaker 1: looking out with a keen interest for how the government
1:07:25
Speaker 1: spends our taxpayer dollars. And usually it's a colossal failure,
1:07:29
Speaker 1: isn't it, Dave. Dave Williams, welcome back, my friend. Always
1:07:31
Speaker 1: love talking with you on the morning show.
1:07:38
Speaker 8: Dave.
1:07:41
Speaker 1: Oh, here we go again, Here we go. Eh, that's
1:07:46
Speaker 1: twice in a row this morning. Try him again, Dave.
1:07:57
Speaker 1: He's not there, Joe is I get the frustrated look
1:07:59
Speaker 1: on just Cherukers, his hands just thrown up in the
1:08:01
Speaker 1: air in just a state of absolute disbelief. Dysfunctional realities
1:08:05
Speaker 1: we're dealing with here this morning and ongoing. You got
1:08:09
Speaker 1: an alternative way to reach him, Joseph, should I move on? Please?
1:08:17
Speaker 1: Do try him again? You know what, let you see
1:08:22
Speaker 1: a best of program, run a pre tape program. Well,
1:08:24
Speaker 1: I'll just go home.
1:08:26
Speaker 9: Am.
1:08:28
Speaker 1: What are management's listening right now? My sincere apologies to
1:08:33
Speaker 1: the listening ondience. Twice this morning, I've had to apologize
1:08:35
Speaker 1: for technical glitches which we should not be facing here
1:08:37
Speaker 1: on the fifty five Careseing Morning Show. I am so
1:08:42
Speaker 1: so upset. Anyway, as Judge struggles to get Hi back on,
1:08:46
Speaker 1: I had mentioned about the and you know, going in
1:08:48
Speaker 1: a completely different direction. Was not prepared to have to
1:08:50
Speaker 1: do something on the fly at this moment in time.
1:08:52
Speaker 1: I had read the portion of the New York Post
1:08:55
Speaker 1: article about the realities going on among people who have
1:08:58
Speaker 1: gone through this deep this day is transitioning. You know,
1:09:01
Speaker 1: when they utter a syllable or two when they're twelve,
1:09:03
Speaker 1: maybe thirteen years old, about them thinking that they're the
1:09:06
Speaker 1: opposite sex, and they're put in the hands of doctor
1:09:08
Speaker 1: care where you'd think the hippocratic oath would keep them
1:09:11
Speaker 1: out of trouble, do no harm, doctors swear when taking
1:09:15
Speaker 1: that oath, and you find out that these poor children
1:09:17
Speaker 1: are dealing with all kinds of psychological issues and troubles
1:09:20
Speaker 1: that can be resolved through therapy and no, no, no,
1:09:23
Speaker 1: we're gonna put you on hormone blockers. We're gonna do
1:09:25
Speaker 1: We're gonna remove your breast at age fourteen. And then,
1:09:30
Speaker 1: as it turns out, as in some of the cases,
1:09:32
Speaker 1: the children are suffering from no, not genderness for you,
1:09:35
Speaker 1: but maybe trauma from sexual abuse. I read that about
1:09:38
Speaker 1: Clementine Breen, who went through all of this came out
1:09:40
Speaker 1: the other side with this conclusion because they started her
1:09:43
Speaker 1: on this road when she was thirteen. How can a
1:09:46
Speaker 1: child consent to losing fertility or the ability to breastfeed
1:09:50
Speaker 1: if no one checks whether she even understands what that means? Yep, exactly.
1:09:57
Speaker 1: Then you go to these the sad, sad case. Soornel
1:10:00
Speaker 1: Doco started feeling distressed about her body and gender identity
1:10:04
Speaker 1: when she was a teen. Turned to the Internet, of course,
1:10:07
Speaker 1: where she found communities which framed gender transitioning is only
1:10:11
Speaker 1: the only, rather appropriate response to her feelings, talked to
1:10:14
Speaker 1: a doctor about that after being inundated with that propaganda.
1:10:18
Speaker 1: When she was then placed on testosterone with a ray
1:10:20
Speaker 1: of specialists, from therapists to doctors and surgeons treating her
1:10:25
Speaker 1: for what they diagnosed as gender dysphoria, while the teen
1:10:28
Speaker 1: wasn't presented with any treatment options beyond a sex rejection model.
1:10:39
Speaker 1: Somebody were at WTF. After that, she began taking testosterone,
1:10:44
Speaker 1: got a double mass sectomy, began suffering severe complications after
1:10:50
Speaker 1: that surgery which left her in pain, which she said,
1:10:54
Speaker 1: I don't think I'll ever forget sarin. Only presented with
1:10:57
Speaker 1: a sex rejection that's in quotes model by her doctors.
1:11:00
Speaker 1: In response to this gender dysphoria report, the report this
1:11:05
Speaker 1: is the report that was released yesterday, Wolves and White Coats,
1:11:08
Speaker 1: how doctors and hospitals pushed and profited from the fraud
1:11:11
Speaker 1: of gender medicine. Jdvance released this report yesterday from the
1:11:15
Speaker 1: Healthy Human Services Department, and it showed how they were
1:11:17
Speaker 1: well maybe engaging in criminal activities. These various hospitals, two
1:11:22
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five plus hospitals have these gender pediatric
1:11:25
Speaker 1: gender programs across the nation, and what they were doing
1:11:28
Speaker 1: is they were altering the ICD codes and hiding the
1:11:33
Speaker 1: puberty blocking drugs behind other diagnostic codes like endocrine disorder,
1:11:38
Speaker 1: so you say it's endocrine disorder which would justify maybe
1:11:41
Speaker 1: prescribing testosteroon. But the real reason you're prescribing is because
1:11:44
Speaker 1: of gender dysphoria, which may have not been covered by
1:11:47
Speaker 1: the code. Right the insurance company then pays for it.
1:11:49
Speaker 1: But anyway, poor Soren Aldaco going through this no options
1:11:54
Speaker 1: presented other than this hormone replacement surgery option did not
1:11:59
Speaker 1: in it, she ate a structured reassignment of her treatment plan,
1:12:03
Speaker 1: the report notes, and according to the report, Soren's experience
1:12:08
Speaker 1: reflects the imbalance of care for cases like hers. While
1:12:11
Speaker 1: her pathway into sex rejection medicalization involved coordinated referrals, approvals,
1:12:18
Speaker 1: and interventions across multiple providers, the pathway out involved no
1:12:23
Speaker 1: comparable system of support. You know, you don't have to
1:12:27
Speaker 1: go down this road. In other words, if you are
1:12:29
Speaker 1: suffering from psychological issues, it may very well be that
1:12:31
Speaker 1: it's unrelated to Gendertis for you, like the first case
1:12:34
Speaker 1: could be something else. Pivoting over Luke heeey ten ten
1:12:42
Speaker 1: when he began exploring his beloved enemy and fantasy online. Yeah,
1:12:49
Speaker 1: you can see children doing that. Ten year old. Oh
1:12:51
Speaker 1: it's enemy you want to get over in the anemy website.
1:12:53
Speaker 1: Guess what he found himself in apparently an online community
1:12:56
Speaker 1: full of adults discussing transgenderism. Again, this is all the
1:13:00
Speaker 1: report by healthing Human Services. And then within three years,
1:13:03
Speaker 1: making him thirteen, he became convinced he was a girl,
1:13:10
Speaker 1: went to his parents. They took himTo a counselor. They
1:13:12
Speaker 1: treated his new identity as settled and moved quickly to
1:13:15
Speaker 1: affirm it. But in this case, the parents refused to
1:13:20
Speaker 1: consent to the puberty blockers and hormones while he was
1:13:22
Speaker 1: still a minor. He now described that refusal is one
1:13:25
Speaker 1: of the bravest things they ever did. But by the
1:13:26
Speaker 1: time he turned eighteen, he did believe he was a girl,
1:13:28
Speaker 1: and as a legal adult, started presuming transitioning treatments. Surgical
1:13:32
Speaker 1: treatments were presented, he started out on estrogen. He slowly
1:13:37
Speaker 1: began to realize that the treatments were not easing his
1:13:40
Speaker 1: psychological problems. He said each intervention led to pressure for
1:13:44
Speaker 1: further intervention. In his view, the model was built around
1:13:48
Speaker 1: escalation rather than resolution. The Health and Human Services department
1:13:51
Speaker 1: to concluded, he again got suspicious about what doctors were
1:13:55
Speaker 1: pushing on him. Apparently, one doctor quoted him a two
1:13:59
Speaker 1: hundred one thousand dollars facial feminization surgery, another encouraged tracheal shave.
1:14:07
Speaker 1: That would be dealing with the Adams Apple reality that
1:14:10
Speaker 1: a man has to deal with. So, oh, we can
1:14:12
Speaker 1: just shave that off, you'll be a woman. He started
1:14:15
Speaker 1: to become a realize that he was being sold procedures,
1:14:17
Speaker 1: not psychological help. Oh and by the way, it turns
1:14:21
Speaker 1: out he didn't really want to become a girl. He
1:14:23
Speaker 1: had a substance abuse problem. So he quit drinkings, to
1:14:25
Speaker 1: quit using drugs and found something well, a corolliarly could
1:14:30
Speaker 1: be drawn that sort of you know, obsessive compulsive disorder
1:14:35
Speaker 1: or whatever. He recognized the same obsessive destructive pattern in
1:14:39
Speaker 1: gender ideology that he had seen in addiction. That is
1:14:42
Speaker 1: the conclusion reached in a report irreversible Mangola like experiment.
1:14:47
Speaker 1: So we take a quick break, as Dave Williams with
1:14:49
Speaker 1: us now, Joseph, he's on zoom, so that's a yes,
1:14:52

1:16:13
Speaker 1: All right, man, we've been having some serious problems with
1:16:15
Speaker 1: the phone system here and you're the second person this
1:16:17
Speaker 1: morning that it did not work so at thoroughly embarrassed,
1:16:20
Speaker 1: am I, But I'm glad to have you on my
1:16:21
Speaker 1: brother real quick here before we get into yet another
1:16:24
Speaker 1: story about the postal system shocking no one. Did you
1:16:27
Speaker 1: see the Cato Institute's number crunching on the cost of
1:16:30
Speaker 1: the DSAY policies if they were all be implemented.
1:16:34
Speaker 7: I did, and it's absolutely insane. These numbers are massive,
1:16:39
Speaker 7: and this is something that people really need to pay
1:16:42
Speaker 7: attention to because these DSA candidates are painting this rosy
1:16:46
Speaker 7: scenario right. They're saying medicare for all, we're going to
1:16:49
Speaker 7: tax the rich, We're going to do all these things,
1:16:51
Speaker 7: and you know, the sky gets blue in their world.
1:16:54
Speaker 7: But when you look at it, it's actually red red
1:16:56
Speaker 7: ink because it's going to cost hundreds of billions and
1:16:59
Speaker 7: trillions of dollars in the future. So this is the
1:17:02
Speaker 7: fiscal reality of these policies, is that it's going to
1:17:05
Speaker 7: bankrupt the country even further. Listen, the country is already bankrupt,
1:17:08
Speaker 7: but it's going to bankrupt the country even further.
1:17:11
Speaker 1: Quicker. I think there are ultimate goal is to just
1:17:13
Speaker 1: collapse the US dollar. I think that's their avenue to
1:17:17
Speaker 1: get rid of the United States as a concept and
1:17:19
Speaker 1: bring about whatever reality they think is going to be
1:17:21
Speaker 1: better in their socialist minded world. But yeah, I thought
1:17:24
Speaker 1: the most the most the best part rather about the
1:17:27
Speaker 1: ko Institute study is not just that they explained that
1:17:30
Speaker 1: it was going to be seventy one to two hundred
1:17:32
Speaker 1: trillion dollars over ten years. You know, people's eyes gloss
1:17:35
Speaker 1: over when they don't think about a trillion is what
1:17:37
Speaker 1: it is, which is a thousand stacks of a billion,
1:17:39
Speaker 1: and each billion is a thousand stacks of a million.
1:17:42
Speaker 1: So the real numbers here. But when they put it
1:17:45
Speaker 1: in practical terms, if you collected one hundred percent of
1:17:49
Speaker 1: all the money from all the billionaires and all of
1:17:51
Speaker 1: the corporations over that ten year period. It's still wouldn't fun,
1:17:55
Speaker 1: but like maybe ten percent of the total nut that
1:17:57
Speaker 1: would cost the country to put these things in p.
1:18:01
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's what a lot of folks and these
1:18:03
Speaker 7: DSA folks don't realize, is Okay, let's say we did
1:18:06
Speaker 7: tax one hundred percent of these billionaires. Well, they're going
1:18:08
Speaker 7: to leave. They will leave the country. Yes, the companies
1:18:12
Speaker 7: will go to another country. We saw the exact opposite
1:18:15
Speaker 7: with tax reform. Remember in twenty seventeen, when we lowered
1:18:18
Speaker 7: the corporate tax rate, companies came back to the US. Well,
1:18:22
Speaker 7: guess what they will do the opposite. They will leave
1:18:25
Speaker 7: if you tax them at one hundred percent, then businesses
1:18:27
Speaker 7: will no longer be in existent in this country.
1:18:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there is this boils down to the
1:18:33
Speaker 1: ultimate reason why socialism and communism notally never works. You know,
1:18:36
Speaker 1: you start taking enough of someone's labor and don't reward
1:18:38
Speaker 1: them for it, they quit working. What's the incentive?
1:18:42
Speaker 7: Figure zero? Zero incentive?
1:18:45
Speaker 1: Absolutely well, and there's zero incentive to continue funding the
1:18:47
Speaker 1: postal service on our current trajectory. Year after a year, Dave,
1:18:50
Speaker 1: how many years of you and I have been talking
1:18:52
Speaker 1: how many years in a row have you made have
1:18:53
Speaker 1: you done reports on protecting taxpayers dot org? About the
1:18:57
Speaker 1: literally billions of dollars of postal system loses lit literally
1:19:00
Speaker 1: every quarter. We're on track for uh I guess they
1:19:03
Speaker 1: said two and a half billion loss in the third
1:19:06
Speaker 1: quarter lost.
1:19:07
Speaker 7: This is just the third quarter of this year, and
1:19:10
Speaker 7: so far the postal service has lost six billion dollars
1:19:13
Speaker 7: and it's probably going to be eight to nine billion
1:19:16
Speaker 7: by the end of the fiscal year. So these numbers,
1:19:19
Speaker 7: and you're right, we keep on talking about this over
1:19:21
Speaker 7: and over again, and we keep on talking about solutions
1:19:24
Speaker 7: because there are ways to change the postal service. And
1:19:27
Speaker 7: I know people will freak out if we use the word,
1:19:30
Speaker 7: you know, privatize, but there has to be some sort
1:19:32
Speaker 7: of common sense in the postal service and there isn't.
1:19:35
Speaker 7: So let me give you one example. Okay, during the
1:19:38
Speaker 7: holiday period, the Postal Service, FedEx UPS, they all hire
1:19:42
Speaker 7: seasonal employees. Right, makes sense because that's where you know
1:19:45
Speaker 7: the upswing and businesses. The thing is that UPS and
1:19:49
Speaker 7: FedEx in January, well those people go away. But the
1:19:53
Speaker 7: Postal Service they offer all these seasonal employees full time employment.
1:19:58
Speaker 7: So it's part of the union contract that if you
1:20:00
Speaker 7: are a seasonal employee that you get to work for
1:20:03
Speaker 7: the Postal Service full time after the holiday season. That
1:20:07
Speaker 7: makes zero sense and you can imagine just how much
1:20:10
Speaker 7: that adds to their liabilities into the cost of employment.
1:20:14
Speaker 1: So this is a collective bargaining concept. I mean, yeah,
1:20:17
Speaker 1: it sounds. It reminds me suspiciously of teachers that have
1:20:20
Speaker 1: remmoved from classrooms and rather than letting them go or
1:20:23
Speaker 1: firing them, same thing with government employees, they just park
1:20:25
Speaker 1: them in a room and have them contemplate their nabel
1:20:27
Speaker 1: for the for the eight hour day. Are you telling
1:20:30
Speaker 1: me these seasonal workers are left at home to do
1:20:33
Speaker 1: whatever they want to do, and yet are drawing a
1:20:35
Speaker 1: full paycheck because they're not needed. They're too many bodies
1:20:37
Speaker 1: when it's not the season.
1:20:39
Speaker 7: I don't know if they're at home, but I do
1:20:41
Speaker 7: know they're getting a paycheck, and I know that you
1:20:43
Speaker 7: know it's keeping the labor costs extremely high at a
1:20:47
Speaker 7: time where obviously the Postal Service can't afford it. And
1:20:50
Speaker 7: it's just again, Brian, this is common sense. If you
1:20:53
Speaker 7: are a private business, you are not doing this if
1:20:56
Speaker 7: you are a private business, you are not spending you know,
1:20:59
Speaker 7: billions of dollars and electric vehicles when you can get
1:21:02
Speaker 7: other vehicles a lot cheaper. So, but when you have
1:21:05
Speaker 7: unlimited access to to money via the taxpayer, these are
1:21:09
Speaker 7: the decisions.
1:21:10
Speaker 1: That you make. Well, how is it that Congress keeps
1:21:13
Speaker 1: funding this or this bottomless pit of loss?
1:21:18
Speaker 7: They're afraid. Congress is afraid to really have any fundamental
1:21:22
Speaker 7: reform at the postal service because let's say they talk
1:21:25
Speaker 7: about getting rid of Saturday delivery. It's a real politically
1:21:29
Speaker 7: charged item, and they're going to have people call and say, well,
1:21:33
Speaker 7: I really like my postal carrier. Well, that's fine. I
1:21:36
Speaker 7: think we all like our postal carriers for the most part, right,
1:21:39
Speaker 7: But that doesn't mean that we have to keep on
1:21:41
Speaker 7: doing the same thing over and over again. And by
1:21:43
Speaker 7: the way, getting rid of Saturday delivery could save two
1:21:46
Speaker 7: to three billion dollars a year.
1:21:49
Speaker 1: Well, that would cover that would cover one quarter's loss
1:21:51
Speaker 1: so far. That's exactly exactly, Dave. I'm sorry, I have
1:21:55
Speaker 1: no fear or concern or worry over knows Saturday delivery.
1:22:01
Speaker 1: What I mean, in this modern age we find ourselves
1:22:04
Speaker 1: in where you have instant communication, you have emails, you
1:22:07
Speaker 1: have cell phones and telephones. You can get in touch
1:22:09
Speaker 1: with someone immediately. You can respond to someone literally immediately.
1:22:12
Speaker 1: What's the big deal about getting rid of Saturday mail delivery?
1:22:15
Speaker 7: There isn't. And as people have probably noticed, and maybe
1:22:18
Speaker 7: they didn't know, is but in July, first class mail
1:22:21
Speaker 7: went up to eighty two cents, from seventy eight cents
1:22:24
Speaker 7: to eighty two cents. And you know, I wonder how
1:22:26
Speaker 7: many people actually recognize that because you mentioned email, you know, texting,
1:22:30
Speaker 7: all the sorts of ways that we communicate. You know,
1:22:33
Speaker 7: how many people noticed that first class mail went up
1:22:35
Speaker 7: to eighty two cents.
1:22:37
Speaker 1: I knew it only because I read about that kind
1:22:39
Speaker 1: of thing to prepare for the morning show. But it
1:22:41
Speaker 1: isn't because I went and bought stamps day, which is
1:22:44
Speaker 1: further to your point. Who sends mail letters anymore? M
1:22:48
Speaker 1: For the most part, I know the vast majority of
1:22:50
Speaker 1: everything that comes to my home it's junk mail.
1:22:54
Speaker 7: Even the letters that I sent you, Brian, is that
1:22:57
Speaker 7: junk mail?
1:22:57
Speaker 4: Oh?
1:22:57
Speaker 1: That is not junk mail. Dave Williams, of course, Dave Williams,
1:23:01
Speaker 1: don't go away. We're gonna be talking about well the
1:23:04
Speaker 1: Farm bill be burning? Am I gonna be burning food
1:23:10
Speaker 1: in my gas tank? Dave Williams, Let don't go away,
1:23:12
Speaker 1: because we're gonna find how much that's gonna cost you
1:23:13
Speaker 1: and me more with Tave seven thirty on a Friday
1:23:19
Speaker 1: with Dave Williams from the Taxpayer Protection Alliance again online
1:23:22
Speaker 1: protecting Taxpayers dot or pivoting over. Oh yeah, another farm
1:23:25
Speaker 1: bill and the more trillions of dollars Dave, and some
1:23:28
Speaker 1: problems over with the SNAP program. They're at it again, Dave.
1:23:34
Speaker 7: Yeah, So this is this is fascinating because the Farm Bill,
1:23:37
Speaker 7: obviously we've been doing this for decades, is helping farmers.
1:23:42
Speaker 7: When I say helping farmers, you know, giving them a
1:23:44
Speaker 7: lot of taxpayer money. And this Farm bill, what they're
1:23:49
Speaker 7: trying to do is change the SNAP program food stamp program. Now,
1:23:54
Speaker 7: last year during the One Big Beautiful Bill, Congress passed
1:23:57
Speaker 7: the law saying that states have to pay more or
1:24:00
Speaker 7: for actually have to pay for administrative costs of food stamps. Right,
1:24:04
Speaker 7: but they also said you have to pay more if
1:24:08
Speaker 7: your error rate is higher than thirteen percent, higher than
1:24:12
Speaker 7: nine percent.
1:24:13
Speaker 1: So real quick, Dave, So I ended that process. Who
1:24:16
Speaker 1: is determining the error rate. Is that the state doing
1:24:19
Speaker 1: that or is this is the USDA, the US federal
1:24:22
Speaker 1: government is monitoring error rate, then yep.
1:24:25
Speaker 7: Give you an example. Ohio has an error rate of
1:24:28
Speaker 7: about six point five percent, Maryland about thirteen point two percent.
1:24:32
Speaker 7: So it varies widely across the country. Ohio is actually
1:24:36
Speaker 7: doing a really good job comparatively to other states.
1:24:40
Speaker 1: Glad.
1:24:40
Speaker 7: And what happens what happened in the One Big Beautiful
1:24:43
Speaker 7: Bill is the way that they I'm using air quotes
1:24:46
Speaker 7: saved money is saying that states have to pay more
1:24:50
Speaker 7: for the food stamp program. Well, during the negotiations this summer,
1:24:55
Speaker 7: they're trying to delay that process and saying, Okay, we're
1:24:59
Speaker 7: not going to require states to pay that for either
1:25:02
Speaker 7: one year or two years. Now the Democrats and some
1:25:05
Speaker 7: of the squishy Republicans are saying we want two years. Well,
1:25:10
Speaker 7: that doesn't make any sense because you have to give
1:25:13
Speaker 7: Stacey incentive to go after waste, frauden abuse. And that's
1:25:17
Speaker 7: exactly what this provision did, is saying, listen, if you
1:25:20
Speaker 7: get your error rate down to six percent, then you
1:25:23
Speaker 7: don't have to pay as much. And this is it's
1:25:27
Speaker 7: been working the last year. Again, a state like Ohio
1:25:30
Speaker 7: has taken that to hert and said, Okay, we are
1:25:32
Speaker 7: going to reach those goals. Maryland not so much. But
1:25:36
Speaker 7: now if they delay it one year or two years,
1:25:40
Speaker 7: you know, states are going to not pay attention to
1:25:42
Speaker 7: this and we're going to see a higher error rate.
1:25:43
Speaker 7: So again, something common sense here that the Republicans tried
1:25:47
Speaker 7: to do last year now is going to be probably
1:25:49
Speaker 7: undone when they come back in September and potentially finished
1:25:53
Speaker 7: the farm Bill.
1:25:56
Speaker 1: I just because I have never ever thought it was
1:25:58
Speaker 1: a good idea to put food in our gas tanks.
1:26:00
Speaker 1: In other words, corn, it gets an incentive for farmers
1:26:03
Speaker 1: to continue growing more corn than we need. We have
1:26:05
Speaker 1: more corn than we need, and we shouldn't be using
1:26:06
Speaker 1: it in terms of corn syrup either, because it's bad
1:26:08
Speaker 1: for us. But are we going down the same path
1:26:11
Speaker 1: in this farm bill?
1:26:11
Speaker 7: Dave Williams, we are the renewable fuel standard I mean
1:26:15
Speaker 7: cost consumers what twenty eight billion dollars over a ten
1:26:19
Speaker 7: year period. I mean, this is increasing the cost of gas, right,
1:26:22
Speaker 7: because this is a mandate saying that you have to
1:26:25
Speaker 7: put ethanol in gas, and it's increasing the cost of
1:26:28
Speaker 7: gas and This is not because of what's happening in Iran.
1:26:32
Speaker 7: It's because of what's happening here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, what
1:26:34
Speaker 7: Congress does, I mean, let's make that clear is that
1:26:36
Speaker 7: there are sometimes there's things out of our control that
1:26:39
Speaker 7: increase the cost of gaslane, other things are within our control,
1:26:43
Speaker 7: and we're not even paying attention to those.
1:26:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're not short on supply, right right, that's funny, right,
1:26:50
Speaker 1: this is when we find out most recently, Oh guess what,
1:26:52
Speaker 1: the world's not running out of oil, So we've got enough.
1:26:54
Speaker 1: We're a washing in the United States is now the
1:26:56
Speaker 1: leading producer of oil. We just need more refineries to
1:26:58
Speaker 1: be more product on the market. The price might come down,
1:27:01
Speaker 1: but it's not for want of something that we can burn.
1:27:04
Speaker 1: Like you might want to turn to ethanol if you
1:27:06
Speaker 1: ran out of the fossil fuels that we've been using
1:27:09
Speaker 1: the oil, right yeah, And I mean you don't have to.
1:27:13
Speaker 7: And let's look what happened to you know, and I
1:27:16
Speaker 7: don't want to, you know, always blame the Biden administration,
1:27:18
Speaker 7: but let's you know, well, the first thing that Joe
1:27:20
Speaker 7: Biden did was he shut down the Keystone XL pipeline. Yeah,
1:27:24
Speaker 7: that prevented hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil coming
1:27:27
Speaker 7: into this country, I mean a day. Right, So this
1:27:30
Speaker 7: was a major problem and we've never really recovered from that,
1:27:34
Speaker 7: and we need to be energy independent and part of
1:27:37
Speaker 7: that are fossil fuels. I'm sorry, but the renewable people,
1:27:40
Speaker 7: fossil fuels are still the lifeblood of energy in.
1:27:43
Speaker 1: This country without question. Literally everything around you has fossil
1:27:48
Speaker 1: fuels in it. I mean, yeah, there's no question about it.
1:27:50
Speaker 1: I've been watching the Landman series. I had never seen
1:27:52
Speaker 1: it before, and Billy Bob Thornton's character just regularly throughout
1:27:56
Speaker 1: the series makes points along those lines. And look, dude,
1:27:59
Speaker 1: look around. You out of your mind if you think
1:28:00
Speaker 1: we can live without oil. And the Biden administration did
1:28:03
Speaker 1: try to make it more expensive, leading to weird concepts
1:28:06
Speaker 1: like burning corn in your gas tank. Right, if you
1:28:09
Speaker 1: lessen the supply unnecessarily, in other words, artificially via legislation,
1:28:14
Speaker 1: you curb the available product on the market because you
1:28:17
Speaker 1: won't allow it to get to us, then we have
1:28:20
Speaker 1: to turn and look elsewhere. That's how we end up
1:28:22
Speaker 1: with corn in our gas tank. Was that trip necessary?
1:28:24
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. You shouldn't have canceled the XL pipeline. You
1:28:27
Speaker 1: should allowed more drilling and not stood in the way
1:28:30
Speaker 1: of all efforts to extract this stuff economically logical and
1:28:34
Speaker 1: reasonable for lower gasoling. Dave Williams, can you stick around
1:28:37
Speaker 1: more because we have a couple more topics to go over.
1:28:39
Speaker 7: I absolutely can.
1:28:40
Speaker 1: Wonderful that's good news at seven thirty five, seven thirty six.
1:28:43
Speaker 1: Right now, we'll talk about seven forty one on a Friday.
1:28:48
Speaker 1: We're here from Adam Kaylor off the top of the
1:28:49
Speaker 1: air news. We also have Jack Windsor from the iiO
1:28:51
Speaker 1: Press Network. Apparently Amy Acton has a bit of an
1:28:54
Speaker 1: abuse problem, substance abuse problem. He just wrote about that
1:28:56
Speaker 1: on the Ohio Press Network dot com. In the meantime,
1:28:59
Speaker 1: from a Protecting tax Pairs dot Org, Dave Williams, we
1:29:01
Speaker 1: returned to another reason why I am concerned about, you know,
1:29:05
Speaker 1: turning the keys of responsibility over to someone else. I
1:29:08
Speaker 1: know we live in a representative from a democracy day.
1:29:10
Speaker 1: But with that sort of that's sort of acknowledged. Point
1:29:14
Speaker 1: well taken. But when we elect someone, we elect them
1:29:17
Speaker 1: and immediately I think many people are perceived that they
1:29:20
Speaker 1: just have this knowledge base that transcends, you know, I
1:29:25
Speaker 1: mean it transcends everything. They must be experts in all things,
1:29:28
Speaker 1: you know, agriculture and business and industry they're right, and
1:29:32
Speaker 1: laws about that, taxation, they have to understand economics, they're right,
1:29:35
Speaker 1: and laws about all that. And now they're going to
1:29:37
Speaker 1: be writing laws about technology. Do you think any of
1:29:40
Speaker 1: our elected officials residing in the swamp of DC have
1:29:43
Speaker 1: any understanding that's necessary to come up with legislation that
1:29:46
Speaker 1: can address all of the problems and concerns that we
1:29:48
Speaker 1: are faced with artificial intelligence and what goes along with it,
1:29:52
Speaker 1: like the Kids Online Safety Act DAVE. And are they
1:29:55
Speaker 1: even capable of doing this?
1:29:57
Speaker 7: Well, let me say, Senator Chuck Grass, who just turned ninety,
1:30:02
Speaker 7: is in charge over the Judiciary Committee, which is the
1:30:06
Speaker 7: committee of jurisdiction for some of these tech bills. No,
1:30:10
Speaker 7: I mean no, obviously not when you have folks in
1:30:13
Speaker 7: their seventies, eighties, and nineties, and listen, I hope you'd
1:30:15
Speaker 7: be one of those folks eventually in my seventies, eighties
1:30:18
Speaker 7: and nineties. But I should not be making policy on
1:30:21
Speaker 7: artificial intelligence technology. And they are. They are crafting this legislation,
1:30:28
Speaker 7: and that's why they should lean on groups like Taxpayers
1:30:30
Speaker 7: Protection Alliance to look at these issues and give an
1:30:33
Speaker 7: unbiased look because, Brian, we call balls and strikes here.
1:30:37
Speaker 7: We look at this and it's like is this good
1:30:39
Speaker 7: for a free speech? Is it good for taxpayers? Good
1:30:42
Speaker 7: for consumers? We don't look at political party. We look
1:30:44
Speaker 7: at policy. And when you talk about the Kids Online
1:30:47
Speaker 7: Safety Act, listen, it's very admirable.
1:30:50
Speaker 6: Right.
1:30:50
Speaker 7: We want to protect children from the bad things to
1:30:52
Speaker 7: happen on social media. I think we can all agree
1:30:56
Speaker 7: to that. But what they want to do is they
1:30:58
Speaker 7: want an institute a regime where there's age verification, so
1:31:01
Speaker 7: you have to verify your age. The problem is that
1:31:04
Speaker 7: it's not just kids under sixteen. Everybody has to verify
1:31:09
Speaker 7: their age. You'll have to verify your age. Brian, Joe
1:31:12
Speaker 7: when he goes on Twitter will have to verify his age.
1:31:15
Speaker 7: And what that means is submitting your data to either
1:31:19
Speaker 7: big tech, which a lot of people don't like, or
1:31:22
Speaker 7: big government, which more people don't like. So's you know
1:31:26
Speaker 7: what's the solution here. The solution is not to be
1:31:29
Speaker 7: giving more of your data that is easily hacked to
1:31:33
Speaker 7: big tech or big government. It just it doesn't work,
1:31:36
Speaker 7: and of course, you know, we could talk for hours
1:31:38
Speaker 7: about the free speech implications of requiring people to provide
1:31:43
Speaker 7: this ID before you go online.
1:31:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, no question about it. And currently I suppose the
1:31:49
Speaker 1: idea wrote requirements put in place for the noble goal
1:31:52
Speaker 1: of trying to keep children away from, say, pornography. I
1:31:54
Speaker 1: understand the desire to do that, but under the way
1:31:58
Speaker 1: it currently works absence some federal blanket law, which comes
1:32:02
Speaker 1: with the perils you just mentioned. Each state is differently.
1:32:05
Speaker 1: Some states don't have ID protection. So all you need
1:32:07
Speaker 1: to do is go and use a VPN and pretend
1:32:09
Speaker 1: you're in some other state or country to get around
1:32:11
Speaker 1: the obligation. He uses a photo ID. Children know how
1:32:14
Speaker 1: to use VPNs, Dave, oh.
1:32:17
Speaker 7: More so than than adults do. And you know, states
1:32:19
Speaker 7: like Florida they have tried to pass laws saying if
1:32:23
Speaker 7: you're under sixteen, you can't access social media at all. Okay,
1:32:27
Speaker 7: so free speech begins at age sixteen? Is that what
1:32:30
Speaker 7: you're saying, is that all of a sudden, at age sixteen,
1:32:33
Speaker 7: you have free speech.
1:32:35
Speaker 1: No, it's not the way it works.
1:32:37
Speaker 7: And of course it's going to cost money to institute
1:32:40
Speaker 7: the you know, these regimes and these background checks, and
1:32:43
Speaker 7: like I mentioned before, the amount of cybersecurity hacks we've seen,
1:32:47
Speaker 7: Oh my goodness, can you imagine the security threat of
1:32:51
Speaker 7: doing this? And also, you know, another sort of understated
1:32:55
Speaker 7: point here is that cosa the Kids Online Safety Act
1:32:58
Speaker 7: says in the interest of children, that could change from
1:33:03
Speaker 7: administration to administration. One administration can say, well, this content is.
1:33:08
Speaker 1: Not in the interest children's subjected.
1:33:10
Speaker 7: The next administration can completely change that. So it's it's
1:33:13
Speaker 7: crazy how bad this is.
1:33:15
Speaker 1: It really is, and thet we'll just go a little
1:33:17
Speaker 1: bit over in this and rather than hold you over
1:33:19
Speaker 1: their day. Because artificial intelligence centers themselves, the data centers
1:33:22
Speaker 1: obviously have come under huge attack, and I am painfully
1:33:27
Speaker 1: aware of, having read so many reports about it. The
1:33:29
Speaker 1: outside influences ginning up opposition comes a lot of times
1:33:33
Speaker 1: from foreign powers like the Chinese Communist Party, who would
1:33:36
Speaker 1: rather dominate AI. If we don't build the data centers,
1:33:38
Speaker 1: we can't have AI, we can't be in charge of it,
1:33:41
Speaker 1: or at least we can't have some measure of control
1:33:43
Speaker 1: over it, obviously leading into the hands of the Chinese
1:33:45
Speaker 1: Communist Party. I think all the concerns or claims about
1:33:50
Speaker 1: data centers generally speaking, are a bit overblown, Dave. But
1:33:53
Speaker 1: if you can beat the challenges, the arguments about power,
1:33:56
Speaker 1: the arguments about noise, water, water, maybe unless they a
1:34:00
Speaker 1: closed system like our cars have radiators that don't use
1:34:03
Speaker 1: a lot of water. And then there's also the parallel argument, well,
1:34:05
Speaker 1: if you've got a golf course in your county, then
1:34:07
Speaker 1: you can't go complain about AI and data centers because
1:34:10
Speaker 1: they use less water than a golf course. But the
1:34:13
Speaker 1: challenges can be overcome and met I'm hoping that data
1:34:15
Speaker 1: centers result in us having small modular reactor access. Wouldn't
1:34:18
Speaker 1: that be grand and glorious a company that can afford
1:34:21
Speaker 1: to pay for its own power and then maybe let
1:34:22
Speaker 1: us use a little bit of the leftover. But we
1:34:25
Speaker 1: need them, don't we? As bad as AI might be
1:34:29
Speaker 1: in some of the nefarious ways that can be used,
1:34:32
Speaker 1: we can't unring the bell, can we, Dave.
1:34:35
Speaker 7: No, we can't. And let's look at the economic argument
1:34:38
Speaker 7: of this also is loud and County of Virginia has
1:34:41
Speaker 7: probably the most data centers of all the country. Right,
1:34:45
Speaker 7: they just lowered their property taxes by twenty five percent
1:34:49
Speaker 7: because of the money that is coming in the economic
1:34:51
Speaker 7: development from these data centers. I mean, this is the
1:34:54
Speaker 7: economic reality of this. Okay, let's talk about Ohio. Total
1:34:59
Speaker 7: water usage for data centers in Ohio is zero point
1:35:03
Speaker 7: six percent of the state usage. It is minimal. So
1:35:07
Speaker 7: we talk you know, you hear about all this water
1:35:09
Speaker 7: that's being used. You mentioned golf courses, you know, agricultural products.
1:35:14
Speaker 2: Use so much water.
1:35:15
Speaker 8: God.
1:35:15
Speaker 7: Yeah, we don't talk about that, at least not enough
1:35:18
Speaker 7: people talk about that. But point six percent of the
1:35:21
Speaker 7: water used in Ohio right now is from data centers.
1:35:24
Speaker 7: That is an insanely low number. And they're going to
1:35:27
Speaker 7: become more efficient. Like you said, great analogy with the
1:35:30
Speaker 7: radiator in cars, because there will be closed loop systems
1:35:33
Speaker 7: and they're going to find a way. Listen, these companies
1:35:35
Speaker 7: are woke, you know, Google, Facebook, Meta, they are woke.
1:35:39
Speaker 7: They are going to find ways to make this more
1:35:41
Speaker 7: environmentally compatible.
1:35:43
Speaker 1: Oh especially in the face of some you know, screaming
1:35:45
Speaker 1: citizens complaining about concerns over water. No, no again, up front,
1:35:48
Speaker 1: we've got that covered. That is not even a legitimate argument.
1:35:51
Speaker 1: Why closed loop system? Look at your car? Does it
1:35:54
Speaker 1: use up water all the time? No, this isn't nineteen
1:35:56
Speaker 1: twenty where you're stopping and filling your radiator up. So yeah,
1:36:01
Speaker 1: I'm with you all day long on this, Dave, And
1:36:03
Speaker 1: again I will, you know, outloud say I wish we
1:36:05
Speaker 1: didn't even have a thing like artificial intelligence. I know
1:36:08
Speaker 1: it's bringing some great advances in medicine and other areas
1:36:11
Speaker 1: and fine, but overall, yeah, it's like watching a sci
1:36:15
Speaker 1: fi movie. It's Skynet, you know, it's just.
1:36:19
Speaker 7: Too And Brian, I think there's a discussion that needs
1:36:21
Speaker 7: to be had about AI, artificial intelligence because it can
1:36:24
Speaker 7: be used as a tool. But there are you know,
1:36:28
Speaker 7: there are some very scary things about AI that we
1:36:31
Speaker 7: need to make sure there are guardrails. Right, But again,
1:36:35
Speaker 7: we need to you know, do this and not have
1:36:37
Speaker 7: Congress mess this up or have fifty states. Imagine if
1:36:40
Speaker 7: fifty states had fifty different AI rules, Right, how do
1:36:44
Speaker 7: you work as a business when you're working in multiple states.
1:36:48
Speaker 7: So there has to be a way that we move
1:36:49
Speaker 7: forward where we just don't let everything happen willy nilly.
1:36:53
Speaker 7: But there's a way to move forward to you know,
1:36:55
Speaker 7: embrace AI and make it a part of our economy
1:36:58
Speaker 7: and not part of the Chinese economy.
1:37:00
Speaker 1: Exactly. And I don't know what the answer to that is, Dave.
1:37:04
Speaker 1: It's too complex a problem for my brain to handle.
1:37:07
Speaker 1: I know Bernie Sanders wants to put a complete, one
1:37:09
Speaker 1: hundred percent full stop on all AI. Yeah, like the
1:37:13
Speaker 1: Chinese would would would embrace that. Oh sure, Bernie, we'll
1:37:16
Speaker 1: stop doing it too. Yeah, you guys, go right ahead,
1:37:19
Speaker 1: full stop crazy. Now, that's the kind of solution you
1:37:22
Speaker 1: get out of people who really just don't quite get
1:37:24
Speaker 1: at Dave Williams gets at least in terms of dollars
1:37:26
Speaker 1: taxpayer protection lines find them again protecting taxpayers dot Org. Dave,
1:37:30
Speaker 1: it's great having you back on the show. And again,
1:37:31
Speaker 1: apologies for the technical difficulties. We'll see if we can't
1:37:34
Speaker 1: smooth matters out before we get to speak again next time.
1:37:37
Speaker 7: Thanks Brian, have a great weekend.
1:37:38
Speaker 1: Thank you too, Man, keep up the great work. Seven
1:37:40
Speaker 1: to fifty to fifty five kr CD Talk eight oh
1:37:44
Speaker 1: Colorbneto five fifty five KRCD Talk Station. Mappy Friday always
1:37:50
Speaker 1: great to welcome back to the fifty five Parce Morning Show,
1:37:53
Speaker 1: Adam Kale or you can find Adam online every single
1:37:56
Speaker 1: day of the week. Just go to the Cincinnati exchange
1:37:58
Speaker 1: dot com and check out articles written about the Greatest
1:38:00
Speaker 1: Cincinnati area and of course objective reporting from Adam Keller.
1:38:03
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Adam. It's great to see you because I
1:38:05
Speaker 1: get to see you, and it's great to have you
1:38:07
Speaker 1: back on the fifty five KCY Morning Show, my friend.
1:38:09
Speaker 6: Great to be here, Brian, as always.
1:38:11
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, since you're on the zoom call, we don't have
1:38:13
Speaker 1: any telephone problems this morning. And again, apologies to my
1:38:16
Speaker 1: listening audience for a couple of really botched efforts earlier
1:38:19
Speaker 1: this morning. Not Joe Strucker's fault, that's for sure. Hey,
1:38:21
Speaker 1: before we get to the infrastructure problems we had, Hey,
1:38:24
Speaker 1: do we have infrastructure problems in the city there, Adam?
1:38:27
Speaker 5: That seems to be a consistent complaint from people is
1:38:31
Speaker 5: not just people who live in Cincinnati, but people visiting.
1:38:34
Speaker 1: True, And how many years have we been talking about that?
1:38:38
Speaker 1: This seems to be a perpetual problem for the city
1:38:40
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati priorities.
1:38:41
Speaker 5: Let's see, how long has the city been run by Democrats?
1:38:44
Speaker 5: Fifty five years? Probably fifty five.
1:38:45
Speaker 1: Years, Brian Aman Adam Keller. But before we get to that,
1:38:48
Speaker 1: I had to ask you. I presume you saw the
1:38:51
Speaker 1: update on for since fire Chief Michael Washington's wrongful termination
1:38:56
Speaker 1: suit against the City of Cincinnati and Cheryl Long as
1:39:01
Speaker 1: an individual. Appellate court just said yesterday that she is
1:39:04
Speaker 1: not shielded by immunity ergo, Cheryl Long can be held
1:39:08
Speaker 1: personally liable for any damages Chief Washington faced. That's a
1:39:13
Speaker 1: real problem for Cheryl Long, is it not.
1:39:16
Speaker 6: It is a big problem.
1:39:17
Speaker 5: And I mean, you know, the people have argued that
1:39:19
Speaker 5: she was unqualified for that job in the first place,
1:39:21
Speaker 5: with her you know, her past financial issues and things
1:39:24
Speaker 5: like that, and now all of a sudden she's running
1:39:26
Speaker 5: a city and mister Washington is asking for you know,
1:39:30
Speaker 5: back pay, benefits, restored things like.
1:39:33
Speaker 1: That, damage damages for his reputational problems that he's struck.
1:39:39
Speaker 1: He's still struggling with that. He can't get a job
1:39:41
Speaker 1: elsewhere in spite of the fact he's very qualified to
1:39:43
Speaker 1: lead fire departments out there, but with this this termination
1:39:47
Speaker 1: hanging over his head, he's people won't touch him.
1:39:52
Speaker 6: Well, now you got Fiji too, what are we doing
1:39:56
Speaker 6: with that? Also?
1:39:57
Speaker 5: I mean, there seems to be a problem here, Brian,
1:39:59
Speaker 5: with you know, people being fired wrongly, the city being mismanaged,
1:40:05
Speaker 5: I don't know if you know this, but in San Francisco,
1:40:08
Speaker 5: that Wilson, the mayor, the communist mayor that they elected
1:40:11
Speaker 5: out there. Yeah, she's getting recalled right now for what
1:40:15
Speaker 5: I feel like is less than what we're dealing with
1:40:17
Speaker 5: in Cincinnati. You know, the typical things, not not taking
1:40:23
Speaker 5: care of the citizens, hiding camera evidence of things, turning
1:40:28
Speaker 5: off cameras, you know, treating the police like second class citizens.
1:40:34
Speaker 6: And this is another thing. You know, fire and police.
1:40:37
Speaker 5: I mean, these people are the backbone of our city.
1:40:39
Speaker 5: They protect us, they keep us safe, and this is
1:40:41
Speaker 5: how they're being treated. I mean the two big cases,
1:40:44
Speaker 5: the Thigi case and now this one. I mean that
1:40:47
Speaker 5: was that's this is you know, police and fire, and
1:40:50
Speaker 5: these are the people. This is the way they get treated.
1:40:52
Speaker 5: But you know, if you're a homelessness advocate or you're whatever,
1:40:55
Speaker 5: I mean, you're treated like a god in.
1:40:57
Speaker 1: This city without question. And I guess I have to
1:41:00
Speaker 1: to wonder from a political standpoint, you know, Mayor aftab
1:41:04
Speaker 1: pervoll I suspect might have to do something about Cheryl Long.
1:41:07
Speaker 1: I mean, his reputation is being tarnished by what she
1:41:10
Speaker 1: has done in just those two employment acts. And maybe
1:41:13
Speaker 1: other areas as well, but both of them were terminated.
1:41:17
Speaker 1: It's already been determined legally that Chief Washington's rights were
1:41:20
Speaker 1: violated in the pretermination hearing, et cetera. So that's a
1:41:24
Speaker 1: subject matter of that. Chief Dji's issues have yet to
1:41:27
Speaker 1: be litigated. It's going to be a big, sizable payout.
1:41:31
Speaker 1: But as of by all accounts, Cheryl Long was solely
1:41:34
Speaker 1: responsible for making these decisions, and she did it unilaterally.
1:41:38
Speaker 1: Does that mean you think Aftab Pervoll will maybe let
1:41:41
Speaker 1: her go throw her under the bus, but then pivot over,
1:41:45
Speaker 1: she's going to be in front of it, maybe a jury.
1:41:47
Speaker 1: Will she then in turn perhaps suggest or throw Aftab
1:41:51
Speaker 1: Parvoll under the bus? Because I like to believe the
1:41:54
Speaker 1: way the hierarchy is that these decisions were ultimately made
1:41:58
Speaker 1: by the mayor and that she was in instructed to
1:42:00
Speaker 1: get rid of these two individuals. What's your take on that, Adam?
1:42:03
Speaker 1: I may be wrong, Well, I.
1:42:05
Speaker 5: Mean, look what happens, Brian. I put it out on
1:42:08
Speaker 5: Twitter yesterday. Cincinnati is always slow to let go of
1:42:13
Speaker 5: incompetent leaders. I mean, look at our sports teams. How
1:42:16
Speaker 5: long do we hang on to some of these people?
1:42:18
Speaker 6: And you know, people come on this show.
1:42:20
Speaker 5: I come on the show, Todd Zenzer comes on the show.
1:42:24
Speaker 5: Signal ninety nine comes on the show. And here we
1:42:27
Speaker 5: are asking for accountability, asking for basic competent leadership, and
1:42:32
Speaker 5: we can't get it, and we don't seem to be
1:42:35
Speaker 5: backed up by the rest of the city. I mean, look, Seattle,
1:42:39
Speaker 5: of all places, Brian the most, one of the most
1:42:42
Speaker 5: progressive places in the country, is trying to recall their
1:42:45
Speaker 5: mayor right now. Meanwhile, here Cincinnati is you know, not
1:42:49
Speaker 5: paying attention. People are just going to work every day,
1:42:52
Speaker 5: driving over potholes, and it just seems like nothing ever
1:42:55
Speaker 5: gets done. And you know, we live in a city
1:42:58
Speaker 5: with a one party monopoly where they protect each other.
1:43:01
Speaker 5: I mean, at the end of the day, these people
1:43:02
Speaker 5: are gonna We've had history of corruption, but at the
1:43:05
Speaker 5: end of the day, these people are going to protect
1:43:07
Speaker 5: each other.
1:43:08
Speaker 6: And it's always leadership. If the team loses games, you
1:43:12
Speaker 6: fire the head coach.
1:43:13
Speaker 5: In a lot of cases, we seem to hold on
1:43:16
Speaker 5: to these people not just in sports, but in politics.
1:43:19
Speaker 5: And and this is the problem, and we need to
1:43:22
Speaker 5: get down to it.
1:43:23
Speaker 6: Who's who's the ring leader of this? What's actually happening,
1:43:26
Speaker 6: and I'd love to see where that case goes.
1:43:29
Speaker 1: Indeed, all of our popcorns out. We're just waiting for
1:43:31
Speaker 1: perhaps some sort of settlement resolution means the city taxpayers
1:43:34
Speaker 1: are going to be on the hook for paying off
1:43:36
Speaker 1: Chief Washington, presumably in the order of millions of dollars
1:43:40
Speaker 1: of course.
1:43:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, and again the back pay, and it rightfully so, uh,
1:43:45
Speaker 5: you know, for for what happened to him. And and
1:43:47
Speaker 5: like you said, his reputation is on the line, you know,
1:43:50
Speaker 5: being this is his this is his career, and being
1:43:53
Speaker 5: able to go out and support him and his family. Uh,
1:43:58
Speaker 5: this is important, uh you know. And and I'll be
1:44:01
Speaker 5: exactly waiting around with my popcorn seeing what happens here.
1:44:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be tough on the cities in sant taxpayers,
1:44:07
Speaker 1: I can assure that. And well I'm sure Chief Washington.
1:44:10
Speaker 1: Chief Washington's and looking forward to the resolution as well
1:44:13
Speaker 1: so he can go out and get a job again.
1:44:15
Speaker 1: You know, there's a petition being circulated by Christopher Smith,
1:44:17
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you're aware of it, Adam Kaylor, to
1:44:19
Speaker 1: require council members in a supermajority to chime in on
1:44:24
Speaker 1: and approve or disprove hiring and firing decisions, getting more
1:44:27
Speaker 1: people involved that way, Let's just use a hypothetical. I
1:44:30
Speaker 1: don't know. You got a police chief that you think
1:44:32
Speaker 1: you want to get rid of, but do you have
1:44:35
Speaker 1: any reasons to get rid of them? Bring up before council,
1:44:38
Speaker 1: have them ask questions, excuse me, why are you firing
1:44:41
Speaker 1: Chief Figi, for example, and for some to answer the question,
1:44:44
Speaker 1: because as it turns out, they didn't do that part.
1:44:46
Speaker 1: They unilaterally filed CHIEFDGI as well as Washington, and then
1:44:50
Speaker 1: as it turns out, the research and the information and
1:44:52
Speaker 1: the investigation reveals that there was no reason whatsoever for
1:44:56
Speaker 1: them to have been terminated. They couldn't, with the high
1:44:59
Speaker 1: benefit of hindze, even manufacture a legitimate reason. Adam, That's
1:45:03
Speaker 1: something maybe they should have talked about in advance, right,
1:45:06
Speaker 1: And wouldn't that wouldn't the problem be solved if people
1:45:08
Speaker 1: sign his Christopher's petition and put it on the ballot
1:45:12
Speaker 1: to vote on that concept.
1:45:14
Speaker 5: People should be lining up to sign that petition. If
1:45:17
Speaker 5: Christopher Smitherman's involved in something, generally there's a reason and
1:45:21
Speaker 5: a really good reason for it. Yes, you know, outside
1:45:24
Speaker 5: of Todd Zenzer in this city, and you know Signal
1:45:27
Speaker 5: ninety nine. I'd say Chris is another solid watchdog who
1:45:32
Speaker 5: pays attention, who actually cares about the city. So you know,
1:45:37
Speaker 5: if he's putting forth a petition and he's he's spending
1:45:39
Speaker 5: his time. He's got a family, you know, kids, and
1:45:43
Speaker 5: he's busy and just like everybody. But to go out
1:45:47
Speaker 5: there and put this kind of time and effort into something,
1:45:49
Speaker 5: you know, it has to be important. And you know
1:45:54
Speaker 5: these decisions if made by city council, you know they're
1:45:57
Speaker 5: going to be on record. Now You're going to be
1:45:59
Speaker 5: on city council watching those city council meetings, listening to
1:46:03
Speaker 5: them make those decisions. You know, unless it's another Gang
1:46:06
Speaker 5: of five situation, they start texting each other behind the
1:46:09
Speaker 5: scenes city business.
1:46:10
Speaker 6: But you know, this is just where we're at.
1:46:13
Speaker 5: And unfortunately, you know, again we're in this this city,
1:46:16
Speaker 5: this monopoly where you don't have officials who are elected
1:46:21
Speaker 5: that are libertarian, moderate, you know, Republican sitting there whose
1:46:27
Speaker 5: job it is who is elected to balance out city council.
1:46:31
Speaker 6: You don't have that balance. It's just not there. The
1:46:34
Speaker 6: city is run.
1:46:35
Speaker 5: One hundred percent from top to bottom by Democrats in
1:46:39
Speaker 5: progressive Democrats on top of that, even the school board,
1:46:43
Speaker 5: and you see what they're doing to us right now
1:46:44
Speaker 5: with the tax situation.
1:46:46
Speaker 6: It's absolutely insane.
1:46:48
Speaker 5: And at some point you're gonna you're going to reach
1:46:51
Speaker 5: the same point these people in Seattle of reach where
1:46:53
Speaker 5: it's like, look, guys, we're tapped out.
1:46:56
Speaker 6: We can't do anything else. There's crime in the streets.
1:47:00
Speaker 5: You know, it just seems like lawless, terrible leadership in
1:47:04
Speaker 5: the city, and people are going to fight back at
1:47:06
Speaker 5: some point.
1:47:08
Speaker 1: Well, and before we take a break here and get
1:47:09
Speaker 1: over to the infrastructure issues that we're supposed to talk
1:47:12
Speaker 1: about in advance, anyway, Adam Keaylor, I.
1:47:14
Speaker 6: Get fired up, Brian.
1:47:16
Speaker 1: I know listen, I know you do. And you know what,
1:47:18
Speaker 1: on a day when my brain isn't working quite properly,
1:47:21
Speaker 1: it's awesome having you on because I could just shut
1:47:23
Speaker 1: up and let you handle it. It's wonderful, Adam Keyler.
1:47:26
Speaker 1: But you mentioned earlier on in this discussion people are
1:47:29
Speaker 1: not paying attention, and I immediately wrote, given up. Question mark,
1:47:34
Speaker 1: do you think it? Because you know, going back to
1:47:35
Speaker 1: the last election, only twenty five percent of registered voters
1:47:38
Speaker 1: bothered to even cast a vote that's troubling. But you
1:47:41
Speaker 1: can say, well, it's an off cycle election, it's the primary.
1:47:44
Speaker 1: You can't get people motivated to go to primary's history
1:47:46
Speaker 1: demonstrates that. But you know, in the regular election cycle,
1:47:49
Speaker 1: not a lot of registered voters show up either. So
1:47:51
Speaker 1: do you think they're not just simply not paying attention
1:47:54
Speaker 1: to political matters or that they've just resigned themselves with
1:47:57
Speaker 1: the fact that, well, I can't get anybody other than
1:48:00
Speaker 1: a Democrat elected in this all very dark blue city,
1:48:02
Speaker 1: So why even bother going and trying?
1:48:05
Speaker 5: Well, I don't think I think people are paying attention.
1:48:08
Speaker 5: I just think they're not getting out there because they
1:48:09
Speaker 5: feel beat down. It's it's no different than the crime
1:48:12
Speaker 5: is down argument. You know, we hear this all the time.
1:48:15
Speaker 5: Crime is down in Cincinnati. You've trained people not to
1:48:21
Speaker 5: report crime. If something happens my window gets busted out,
1:48:27
Speaker 5: or you know, somebody assaults me on the street, what's
1:48:31
Speaker 5: going to.
1:48:31
Speaker 6: Happen, Brian?
1:48:32
Speaker 5: Is anybody going to get prosecuted for that? Am I
1:48:34
Speaker 5: going to go to court and see whoever it is
1:48:37
Speaker 5: that that you know, busted my window out and stole
1:48:40
Speaker 5: the stuff out of my car? Am I gonna am
1:48:42
Speaker 5: I going to get any kind of justice in the
1:48:44
Speaker 5: city for those kind of things.
1:48:45
Speaker 1: No, So what do I do?
1:48:46
Speaker 5: I just forget about it. I take it to the
1:48:48
Speaker 5: to the glass people, and I get the window fix
1:48:51
Speaker 5: and I go on about my day. They've trained people
1:48:54
Speaker 5: to not report crime. That's why crime is down in
1:48:57
Speaker 5: most cases. And it's the same with these elections. They've
1:49:00
Speaker 5: trained us that no matter what you do, Brian, they're
1:49:03
Speaker 5: going to win in this city. They're going to win
1:49:06
Speaker 5: because they've got they've got everything locked down. They've got
1:49:10
Speaker 5: the voters that they want. They've got the poverty voters,
1:49:12
Speaker 5: they've got the union voters, they've got the schoolteacher voters.
1:49:16
Speaker 6: They've got forty.
1:49:18
Speaker 5: Thousand votes before anything actually on election day gets counted,
1:49:23
Speaker 5: all these mail in ballots and the.
1:49:24
Speaker 6: People who voted early.
1:49:26
Speaker 5: These are all of their people whose jobs and livelihoods
1:49:30
Speaker 5: are tied.
1:49:30
Speaker 6: To the way they vote.
1:49:33
Speaker 1: And we have to pay for it.
1:49:34
Speaker 6: Most of these people.
1:49:36
Speaker 5: It's we're the taxpayers who are like, hey, let's what's
1:49:39
Speaker 5: going on in this city. They don't question it, right,
1:49:42
Speaker 5: so they've trained us not to even bother.
1:49:45
Speaker 1: So then going back to my not paying attention or
1:49:48
Speaker 1: given up It sounds like that is a they've given
1:49:51
Speaker 1: up or have been you know, brains are thought controlled
1:49:54
Speaker 1: into just giving up. Whether it was their personal choice
1:49:57
Speaker 1: to say why bother, or they've just been told that
1:49:59
Speaker 1: it's it's not worth the effort. I'm not quite sure, Adam,
1:50:01
Speaker 1: it just sounds like they've given up.
1:50:03
Speaker 6: Well, and what do people do?
1:50:04
Speaker 5: They vote with their feet right there you go, once
1:50:07
Speaker 5: your vote doesn't matter anymore, then you head across the river.
1:50:11
Speaker 1: Well do you go to Indiana, Adam, real quick here,
1:50:14
Speaker 1: because we have take a break the urban hipster land
1:50:16
Speaker 1: that they created and over the Rhine. You know, yeah,
1:50:18
Speaker 1: they rehabbed houses. Obviously they were trying to lure tax
1:50:21
Speaker 1: paying working people, you know, the urban hipsters of the world.
1:50:25
Speaker 1: Are they starting to flee that project because it was
1:50:27
Speaker 1: wildly popular for a really long time. And I haven't
1:50:29
Speaker 1: heard really anything about real estate and over the Rhine
1:50:31
Speaker 1: and whether people are still choosing to move there from
1:50:34
Speaker 1: their suburban enclaves. Maybe.
1:50:36
Speaker 6: Well, I know a lot of people in real estate
1:50:38
Speaker 6: right now, and houses aren't moving.
1:50:40
Speaker 5: If you go go to Oakley Hyde Park, houses are
1:50:43
Speaker 5: selling right single you know, young family, yes, people with money.
1:50:48
Speaker 5: They're buying houses up there, but in the urban core,
1:50:51
Speaker 5: good luck selling something. I mean, things were over priced.
1:50:54
Speaker 5: They hyped it up. But one thing is is they
1:50:57
Speaker 5: never got rid of the crime. They never got rid
1:50:59
Speaker 5: of that crime element. They try to integrate the crime
1:51:02
Speaker 5: element of anything. And you know, if you're constantly pandering
1:51:07
Speaker 5: too criminals, you're dehumanizing police, and you're telling victims, hey,
1:51:13
Speaker 5: get over it, go get your window fixed.
1:51:16
Speaker 6: No big deal, nothing's going to happen anyway. I mean,
1:51:20
Speaker 6: what do you do? Do you stick around?
1:51:22
Speaker 5: You want to spend four hundred thousand dollars on something
1:51:24
Speaker 5: and over the Rhine when you got to deal with
1:51:26
Speaker 5: that kind of stuff? Are you going to move out
1:51:27
Speaker 5: to Oakley? Are you're going to go across the river
1:51:30
Speaker 5: to maybe a Fort Thomas or up further even north,
1:51:35
Speaker 5: maybe it will blue Ash or something.
1:51:36
Speaker 1: And then also the increasing tax bill because since a
1:51:39
Speaker 1: public school level will probably pass too. Adam Keller's going
1:51:41
Speaker 1: to comment about infrastructure, another reason people might choose not
1:51:44
Speaker 1: to be in city Cincinnati. Don't go away and be
1:51:46
Speaker 1: right back.
1:51:47
Speaker 4: Fifty five KRC.
1:51:49
Speaker 1: Cracks dains, slippery spots. Your concrete is is eight twenty
1:51:52
Speaker 1: one on a Friday and a half to win to you.
1:51:53
Speaker 1: Another recommended website, the Cincinnati Exchange dot com Adam Keller's website,
1:51:59
Speaker 1: a lot of contributors. There are a lot of great articles,
1:52:01
Speaker 1: a lot of great stuff information about Duke Energy right
1:52:04
Speaker 1: there this morning. Because of the storm matages, some people
1:52:05
Speaker 1: are still dealing with that. And Adam Kahler pivoting over infrastructure.
1:52:09
Speaker 1: We started off a little bit just alluded to the topic.
1:52:11
Speaker 1: We have infrastructure problem in the city. The amount of
1:52:13
Speaker 1: projects keep piling up year after year after year. They
1:52:16
Speaker 1: seem to get further behind in the number of like
1:52:19
Speaker 1: for example, lane miles of road repairs and resurfacing, repaving,
1:52:24
Speaker 1: potholes are a problem. We could go on and on,
1:52:26
Speaker 1: and they don't seem to care about what they build,
1:52:29
Speaker 1: probably preceded by a ribbon cutting ceremony when something new
1:52:32
Speaker 1: shows up, but then it just to ignore it onto
1:52:35
Speaker 1: the next ribbon cutting ceremony and new project that requires
1:52:38
Speaker 1: ongoing maintenance and upkeep that they don't bother paying attention to. Adam,
1:52:42
Speaker 1: I thought the railroad money was supposed to solve all
1:52:44
Speaker 1: these problems.
1:52:46
Speaker 5: Well we thought so, and you know, as the city floods,
1:52:50
Speaker 5: you know, the mayor's in la at a meeting, just
1:52:53
Speaker 5: like he always is, but he's back in time to
1:52:55
Speaker 5: raise a flag at City Hall, just in time.
1:52:59
Speaker 6: So it's it's kind of weird.
1:53:00
Speaker 5: It almost seems like some of these people were, you know,
1:53:04
Speaker 5: waiting for their next job and just kind of phoning
1:53:07
Speaker 5: it in.
1:53:08
Speaker 6: At this point.
1:53:09
Speaker 5: And you know, fifty six million dollars has been allocated
1:53:12
Speaker 5: by the Railroad Board to the city, but only a
1:53:15
Speaker 5: small percentage of that I believe thirteen percent, possibly a
1:53:18
Speaker 5: fourteen percent has actually been spent.
1:53:22
Speaker 6: And then you've got this. You know, they've allocated it.
1:53:26
Speaker 5: Over half of it, fifty one almost fifty two percent
1:53:29
Speaker 5: of it has been proposed to go to neighborhoods with
1:53:33
Speaker 5: median household incomes below fifty thousand dollars, So you know
1:53:37
Speaker 5: they're being woke with how they spend the money also,
1:53:40
Speaker 5: and you know, one of the good things is is
1:53:43
Speaker 5: I come from one of those neighborhoods, so you know Westwood,
1:53:46
Speaker 5: low er Ice Hill, West Price Hill, those are some
1:53:50
Speaker 5: of the neighborhoods that are actually going to get the money.
1:53:52
Speaker 5: But you know, the city hasn't paid attention to those
1:53:54
Speaker 5: places in probably decades, so doing anything over there is
1:53:59
Speaker 5: probably going to be help. I mean, how long did
1:54:01
Speaker 5: we complain about the potholes on Queen City.
1:54:03
Speaker 6: Avenue down there in Sunset?
1:54:05
Speaker 1: Sunset?
1:54:06
Speaker 6: That was one of the worst places ever it was.
1:54:08
Speaker 1: But you know what, it's a war zone. Well, I
1:54:10
Speaker 1: guess one could make an argument that those neighborhoods probably
1:54:12
Speaker 1: deserve the allocation because going back to the broken windows theory,
1:54:15
Speaker 1: you know, the worse a area looks, the more crime
1:54:18
Speaker 1: tends to happen there. And there's I'm sure a lot
1:54:20
Speaker 1: of relatable points on that. But however, they spent them.
1:54:23
Speaker 1: You said, though allocated, the projects haven't been done though,
1:54:26
Speaker 1: have they ad them?
1:54:27
Speaker 9: No?
1:54:27
Speaker 5: No, this this is money that's just been allocated. And Brian,
1:54:30
Speaker 5: this goes back to an issue how much work can
1:54:34
Speaker 5: they actually get done?
1:54:36
Speaker 1: That was my next question. Why isn't it being done?
1:54:39
Speaker 5: Because there's only so many city workers. I mean, everybody
1:54:42
Speaker 5: was supposed to go to college, Brian and get a
1:54:44
Speaker 5: degree in underwater basket weaving. They weren't supposed to pave
1:54:48
Speaker 5: roads and do plumbing and electrical work and things like that.
1:54:52
Speaker 5: You remember, yeah, and you know, you only you only
1:54:54
Speaker 5: have so many people that can do these these jobs,
1:54:57
Speaker 5: and you know, city planning can only plan so many
1:55:00
Speaker 5: projects at a time, and you can only have so
1:55:02
Speaker 5: many roads closed down and.
1:55:03
Speaker 6: Things like that.
1:55:04
Speaker 5: But you remember how urgent it was, Brian. We had
1:55:07
Speaker 5: four hundred million dollars worth of delayed maintenance. You remember
1:55:10
Speaker 5: that in the commercials with with Aftab in the car
1:55:12
Speaker 5: and he was bumping around and everything was so urgent
1:55:15
Speaker 5: that we get these things done. Well, here we are
1:55:17
Speaker 5: three years later, and you haven't. You've barely spent the money.
1:55:22
Speaker 5: You've just talked about spending the money, and you have
1:55:25
Speaker 5: no idea what you're going to spend it on. So
1:55:28
Speaker 5: you know, what was the urgency If you knew you
1:55:30
Speaker 5: couldn't get this stuff done? And you know, if you
1:55:33
Speaker 5: thought you were going to sell this, why not plan
1:55:35
Speaker 5: it ahead of time. You've got a climate migrant plan
1:55:40
Speaker 5: for the year twenty sixty that they came up with
1:55:43
Speaker 5: internally at city Hall, a climate migrant plan for all
1:55:47
Speaker 5: these people who were just going to be you know,
1:55:50
Speaker 5: the coastal cities Savannah, Georgia, you know Jacksonville, Florida, you Miami,
1:55:57
Speaker 5: All these people are just gonna rush to move to
1:56:00
Speaker 5: Cincinnati by the year twenty sixty because of climate change.
1:56:03
Speaker 1: Brian, Yeah, they're gonna go They're they're gonna go underwater.
1:56:06
Speaker 1: They're gonna be the rising sea levels are gonna consume
1:56:09
Speaker 1: Manhattan and the coastal regions. And that was supposed to
1:56:12
Speaker 1: have happened like a decade ago, Adam. According to al Gore,
1:56:14
Speaker 1: I'm still waiting.
1:56:16
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, Miami was supposed to be underwater by what
1:56:19
Speaker 5: twenty twenty or something.
1:56:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty fifteen, twenty twenty.
1:56:22
Speaker 6: I got a condo downtown in Miami, and it's it
1:56:24
Speaker 6: looks fine to me.
1:56:25
Speaker 1: It's worth a lot more now than it was. Pretty
1:56:27
Speaker 1: COVID too, isn't it, Adam?
1:56:29
Speaker 8: Right?
1:56:29
Speaker 5: And Trump's Presidential Library is going across the street, so
1:56:31
Speaker 5: I'm gonna have a view of that.
1:56:33
Speaker 1: Well, I happen to pretty, Adam Keller. We're gonna be
1:56:36
Speaker 1: following you on the sin Say Exchange dot com. You
1:56:37
Speaker 1: welcome on the Morning Show more often than you come on,
1:56:39
Speaker 1: so you got a spot here to get your message out.
1:56:41
Speaker 1: But also, I have an answer to the underwater basket
1:56:44
Speaker 1: weaving degrees. You said those folks should have gone into construction, right.
1:56:47
Speaker 1: We needed them to do pothole work and electric work
1:56:49
Speaker 1: and plumbing work. People are catching on too that maybe
1:56:51
Speaker 1: a little behind the curve, but the oh there's jobs
1:56:53
Speaker 1: out there there. But who does employ the quote unquote
1:56:56
Speaker 1: underwater basket weaving degree folks, the NGOs that are a
1:57:00
Speaker 1: priority for the city.
1:57:01
Speaker 5: We do, That's right, that's right, Yeah, they are the priority.
1:57:04
Speaker 5: The people that write the climate migrant plans, Brian. You
1:57:08
Speaker 5: know there was urgency when it came to that. Yeah, right,
1:57:11
Speaker 5: you got urgency to write this climate migrant plan for
1:57:14
Speaker 5: these people that are supposed to show up in Cincinnati
1:57:16
Speaker 5: by twenty sixty. And not only that, they need housing, Brian.
1:57:20
Speaker 5: We need the city to be more densely populated by
1:57:26
Speaker 5: people that they need to vote their way, so you know,
1:57:30
Speaker 5: pack them in as much as possible. Pack the homeless
1:57:32
Speaker 5: people in up at the former church there.
1:57:35
Speaker 1: You know, well where Adam, that's where their business model
1:57:38
Speaker 1: falls apart. What you need to be packed in are
1:57:40
Speaker 1: people who are earning a living and paying into the system. Right.
1:57:45
Speaker 5: Well, that's that's that's what you should be. And this
1:57:47
Speaker 5: is what I always said when I was running office.
1:57:49
Speaker 5: I said, invest in prosperity, not poverty.
1:57:54
Speaker 1: Adam Kayler, maybe you should be an elected office. There's
1:57:57
Speaker 1: an opportunity. Oh, that's right. We did try that, didn't
1:57:59
Speaker 1: We add a thirty eight fifty both Kerseit talk station.
1:58:04
Speaker 1: Mary is. I can see him from the High Press Network,
1:58:08
Speaker 1: theohigh Press Network dot com. Jack wins or Jack Winsor,
1:58:10
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Morning Show. Missed you in the
1:58:12
Speaker 1: last segment, Brian. It's good to be with you, Always
1:58:16
Speaker 1: good to be with you.
1:58:16
Speaker 9: Thank you for choosing me today.
1:58:18
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, and I appreciate you posting the article and
1:58:20
Speaker 1: doing the Record's request to get some background information on
1:58:23
Speaker 1: that nine to one one call from several years ago
1:58:25
Speaker 1: doctor Amy Acton. There's been an ad campaign running about
1:58:28
Speaker 1: her issues with drugs and alcohol and some involvement with
1:58:31
Speaker 1: law enforcement. This sort of adds an additional background information
1:58:35
Speaker 1: on that, doesn't it, Jack, Yeah, it does.
1:58:38
Speaker 9: If you remember back in April, when this story first
1:58:42
Speaker 9: broke on the national scene, NBC broke the story and
1:58:46
Speaker 9: a couple of things happened. Amy Acton's running mate, David
1:58:50
Speaker 9: Pepper was the guy that was saying, well, listen, we
1:58:54
Speaker 9: don't know who called. Whoever called was probably concerned about
1:58:58
Speaker 9: Amy and about what was going on for her and then,
1:59:03
Speaker 9: of course, the campaign said that she only had one
1:59:07
Speaker 9: drink that night, and in the police reported it and
1:59:11
Speaker 9: indicated that there was a mirror that had shattered and
1:59:14
Speaker 9: they said, well, you know she bumped the mirror. Well,
1:59:17
Speaker 9: we were able to get our hands on the nine
1:59:20
Speaker 9: to one to one call log, and what we were
1:59:22
Speaker 9: able to determine is that it was Amy Actin's daughter
1:59:25
Speaker 9: who made the phone call and she said, as was
1:59:30
Speaker 9: put down in the report, quote, mom has been drinking
1:59:33
Speaker 9: and throwing things and breaking glass. So with that, that
1:59:40
Speaker 9: to me says that maybe David Pepper didn't know who
1:59:45
Speaker 9: made the call, but his assertion that we're not sure
1:59:49
Speaker 9: who made the call and there was probably somebody concerned
1:59:52
Speaker 9: about Amy act and that seems to be on its
1:59:54
Speaker 9: ear now because it was her daughter. And the daughter
1:59:57
Speaker 9: didn't say, hey dad, my step my dad's drinking, he's
2:00:01
Speaker 9: throwing stuff. She said, Mom has been drinking and throwing
2:00:04
Speaker 9: things and breaking glass. So it certainly makes it look
2:00:08
Speaker 9: like they tried a CYA operation back in April, and
2:00:11
Speaker 9: that now seems to be exposed.
2:00:14
Speaker 1: Now, is this a separate incident involving suggestions of alcohol
2:00:18
Speaker 1: use maybe excessive with Amy Acton beyond just this nine
2:00:22
Speaker 1: one one call. Is this nine on one call is
2:00:24
Speaker 1: an independent incident compared to the one that was discussed
2:00:27
Speaker 1: in the ad campaign. For example, Jack, great.
2:00:30
Speaker 9: Question, Glad you asked it. It really is the same call.
2:00:34
Speaker 1: Okay.
2:00:34
Speaker 9: So this ties back to a twenty nineteen incident at
2:00:38
Speaker 9: her home where she and her husband Eric were in
2:00:43
Speaker 9: a dispute and according to the caller, her daughter, she
2:00:47
Speaker 9: was throwing things, breaking glass. That police report also indicates
2:00:51
Speaker 9: that she went to the garage and she was going
2:00:54
Speaker 9: to leave and her husband talked her out of it.
2:00:57
Speaker 9: In the incident report, it indicates that both both he
2:01:00
Speaker 9: and her had been drinking. Didn't say how much. The
2:01:03
Speaker 9: campaign says one drink, but it also indicates that she
2:01:09
Speaker 9: had taken an unknown amount of prescription medication. Now, the
2:01:13
Speaker 9: campaign says that was just medication for migraine headaches, but
2:01:18
Speaker 9: it begs the question if she was asked if she
2:01:21
Speaker 9: had taken any medication, why didn't she just say, well, yeah,
2:01:24
Speaker 9: I took the one pill or the two pills for
2:01:26
Speaker 9: the migraines. It was an unknown amount, so I don't
2:01:29
Speaker 9: know if that means it was excessive. But here's the
2:01:31
Speaker 9: other thing we were able to learn and include in
2:01:35
Speaker 9: the story that I published yesterday. This is the second incident.
2:01:39
Speaker 9: There was a phone call back in twenty thirteen that
2:01:42
Speaker 9: was made by a daughter because Amy act and her
2:01:47
Speaker 9: then husband were in what appeared to be a dispute.
2:01:50
Speaker 9: I don't know if it was verbal physical, but it
2:01:54
Speaker 9: does not indicate in the report that there was any
2:01:56
Speaker 9: physical violence. But it was the second time that a
2:01:59
Speaker 9: daughter had called because they were concerned that Amy Actin
2:02:02
Speaker 9: was in an altercation with her spouse.
2:02:05
Speaker 1: So no issue of or or in factual information is
2:02:08
Speaker 1: whether that related to any alcohol or drug use. Just
2:02:11
Speaker 1: a domestic dispute.
2:02:15
Speaker 9: Just a domestic dispute.
2:02:16
Speaker 1: That's right.
2:02:16
Speaker 9: And one thing I should add, Brian, since you asked.
2:02:19
Speaker 9: The way the campaign has tied this back is that
2:02:22
Speaker 9: when Amy acting applied for medical school, on her application
2:02:26
Speaker 9: there was a question that asked if she had ever
2:02:28
Speaker 9: been treated for alcohol, drugs, or some sort of mental
2:02:33
Speaker 9: health issue. She indicated yes, And so some people look
2:02:37
Speaker 9: at that and go, okay, was she talking about drugs
2:02:40
Speaker 9: and alcohol, Because now in twenty nineteen, there's something on
2:02:43
Speaker 9: the record that indicates she was consuming alcohol, had taken
2:02:47
Speaker 9: an unknown number of prescription medications. Now, her campaign claims
2:02:51
Speaker 9: that that box check was about mental health treatment, that
2:02:56
Speaker 9: Amy Acting had been molested as a child, And look,
2:02:59
Speaker 9: I'm not going to judge that. If that's the case,
2:03:01
Speaker 9: that's terrible and good for her forgetting treatment, but it
2:03:05
Speaker 9: certainly has a lot of people wondering whether she has
2:03:08
Speaker 9: had or battled in the past alcohol and drug issues.
2:03:12
Speaker 1: Well, clearly this is an issue people are paying attention to.
2:03:15
Speaker 1: Obviously there's an entire ad campaign swirling around these claims,
2:03:19
Speaker 1: and of course these documented claims. Is this going to
2:03:23
Speaker 1: be an appropriate subject matter for a debate, for example,
2:03:26
Speaker 1: with her in vivik Ramaswami.
2:03:29
Speaker 9: I think it is right because who you are as
2:03:33
Speaker 9: a person affects your ability to show up every day
2:03:36
Speaker 9: to make the right decisions. And when you're the governor
2:03:39
Speaker 9: of the state of Ohio, it's not about can you
2:03:42
Speaker 9: function healthily in a marriage? Can you act on the
2:03:46
Speaker 9: behalf as a good steward of eleven point seven million Ohioans.
2:03:50
Speaker 9: But I think the bigger issue there, Brian, is Amy
2:03:53
Speaker 9: actin going to debate And maybe the second part of
2:03:55
Speaker 9: that question, the second part that we need to be asking,
2:03:58
Speaker 9: is where is Amy acton the friendly things that she
2:04:02
Speaker 9: does in front of groups of people that like her.
2:04:04
Speaker 9: Have we seen her take any hard questions? Have we
2:04:06
Speaker 9: seen her commit to a debate?
2:04:08
Speaker 3: I have not seen that.
2:04:09
Speaker 1: Yet, or you know, just to clear the air of
2:04:12
Speaker 1: all the swirling speculation, come out and issue a statement. Hi,
2:04:15
Speaker 1: it's me. I'm not taking questions today. But in order
2:04:18
Speaker 1: to address these swirling accusations, I've got a drug an
2:04:21
Speaker 1: alcohol problem. Let me assure you I do not, or
2:04:23
Speaker 1: let me explain exactly what happens, so you don't speculate
2:04:26
Speaker 1: and wonder and draw conclusions about my character based upon
2:04:29
Speaker 1: a political action committee adds. You know that's what you got.
2:04:33
Speaker 1: This is out there. You're gonna have to address it
2:04:35
Speaker 1: at some point anyway. That will be my take on it,
2:04:38
Speaker 1: Jack Windsor, But then again, I'm not, nor will I
2:04:40
Speaker 1: ever run for political office from the I Press Network
2:04:44
Speaker 1: dot com. Don't go away, Jack, because we're gonna be
2:04:46
Speaker 1: talking about the socialist housing policy and maybe a ward
2:04:49
Speaker 1: or two about the John Houston Shared Brown Race. More
2:04:51
Speaker 1: with Jack Windsor after these brief words.
2:04:54
Speaker 4: Fifty five Krson.
2:04:55
Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC The Talk Station.
2:05:00
Speaker 1: I fifty five KRCD talk station right time, I speaking
2:05:04
Speaker 1: with Jack Windsor from the High Press network and pivoting
2:05:06
Speaker 1: over Jack Windsor Well, all housing policies I think from
2:05:09
Speaker 1: government these days are socialists. So what's the story with
2:05:11
Speaker 1: this one and how much is it going to cost
2:05:13
Speaker 1: Ohio families?
2:05:14
Speaker 9: Jack Well, listen, whenever there is any type of control
2:05:21
Speaker 9: with respect to housing, we've got to hit the economics
2:05:24
Speaker 9: of it. Brian Right, government intervention. I mean, you can
2:05:29
Speaker 9: look at the crazy stuff that goes on out in
2:05:31
Speaker 9: New York and sometimes people clamor for that right when
2:05:35
Speaker 9: when things are not as affordable as we would like.
2:05:37
Speaker 9: But you have to look at maybe what the unintended
2:05:40
Speaker 9: consequence is. And when you start dickering with pricing controls
2:05:44
Speaker 9: and housing controls, what ends up happening over the intermediate
2:05:47
Speaker 9: and long term is the supply collapses and units go
2:05:53
Speaker 9: dark because when rants are frozen, taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs,
2:05:59
Speaker 9: those things keep rising, and you know, landlords stop renovating
2:06:03
Speaker 9: or even renting vacant units. Buildings eventually deteriorate, so quality craters,
2:06:10
Speaker 9: and then what ends up happening is that market rate
2:06:13
Speaker 9: rents get driven higher and new construction gets chilled, which
2:06:18
Speaker 9: is certainly not the way the direction we want to
2:06:21
Speaker 9: go with housing supply in twenty twenty six.
2:06:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole concept. Who in their right mind would
2:06:29
Speaker 1: build multiple dwelling units, you know, apartment buildings when they're
2:06:33
Speaker 1: told they're going to be capped on the rent that
2:06:34
Speaker 1: they can charge. I mean, as you point out, inflation
2:06:37
Speaker 1: is never a static. It always goes more. It gets
2:06:40
Speaker 1: more and more expensive every year. So you know it's
2:06:43
Speaker 1: going to be more expensive to repair the place, to
2:06:45
Speaker 1: heat it, to air condition whatever. So you've got to
2:06:48
Speaker 1: be able to raise the rent. I mean, it's not
2:06:50
Speaker 1: a working business model if your rent is controlled.
2:06:54
Speaker 8: Well.
2:06:55
Speaker 9: Listen, I again, people criticize me a lot. I think
2:06:58
Speaker 9: you and I are probably cut from the exact same
2:07:00
Speaker 9: cloth on this. It's amazing what the free market will
2:07:04
Speaker 9: do when the government stays out of the way. Let
2:07:06
Speaker 9: me give you an example. I had somebody send me
2:07:08
Speaker 9: a video earlier this week about prices in Perry and
2:07:12
Speaker 9: Muskingham County of gasoline going up almost a dollar soon
2:07:16
Speaker 9: after Governor Mike Dwine announced the emergency there because of
2:07:19
Speaker 9: the inclement weather, the flooding, and your visceral response is well,
2:07:24
Speaker 9: you shouldn't do that, okay, And in some states there
2:07:27
Speaker 9: are statutes that say you can't do that, but that's
2:07:30
Speaker 9: not the case in Ohio. And when we looked at
2:07:32
Speaker 9: what was going on in the larger area, prices had
2:07:36
Speaker 9: gone up, and so it wasn't just for that area.
2:07:39
Speaker 9: But the whole point is that's the natural market. What
2:07:42
Speaker 9: happens is the price goes up. That deters people from
2:07:45
Speaker 9: hoarding gasoline and taking it so other people can't have it.
2:07:49
Speaker 9: And again, I'm a huge free market guy. It's people
2:07:53
Speaker 9: like the free market. They just don't like those intermediate
2:07:56
Speaker 9: times where maybe they can't afford what they think.
2:07:58
Speaker 1: They want fair enough. Jack wins or a few words
2:08:01
Speaker 1: on the current status of the John Houston Shared Brown race.
2:08:04
Speaker 1: It's a little close. Are too close for comfort? Matter
2:08:07
Speaker 1: of fact, maybe Houston underwater from some of the polling.
2:08:11
Speaker 9: Yeah, so depending on what you're looking at. I think
2:08:13
Speaker 9: there was a Fox Beacon Shaw poll has Brown of
2:08:18
Speaker 9: eight points. Things that are concerning to me just looking
2:08:22
Speaker 9: at it. Brown's favorability is plus eight. Houstead is underwater
2:08:27
Speaker 9: at negative ten. That's concerning independence right now, are breaking
2:08:31
Speaker 9: very hard for Shared Brown. He has a double digit
2:08:34
Speaker 9: crossover from the Make America Great Again Republican crowd. Women
2:08:39
Speaker 9: under forty five, urban and suburban lean for Brown, Rural
2:08:43
Speaker 9: men lean for Houstead. Inflation, affordability, it's still the whole Anchilada, Brian,
2:08:50
Speaker 9: That's what voters care about. This is a really hard
2:08:53
Speaker 9: national environment. I don't know economically if things are going
2:08:56
Speaker 9: to turn around so that people feel like things are
2:08:58
Speaker 9: more affordable. The only thing that I think is a
2:09:01
Speaker 9: solid maybe consolation for John Houstead is that Trump has
2:09:08
Speaker 9: won this area, won this state by eleven points in
2:09:11
Speaker 9: the past, and again it's going to come down to
2:09:13
Speaker 9: turn out. But our Republican's going to be fired up
2:09:15
Speaker 9: enough to get out to the polls in November and
2:09:19
Speaker 9: vote for John Houstad. Other aggregates have this almost neck
2:09:23
Speaker 9: and neck. But that again that Fox pulls a little
2:09:26
Speaker 9: concerning well.
2:09:27
Speaker 1: I mean, it's an economic lesson needs to be taught.
2:09:29
Speaker 1: Granted that the situation where the trade of hornmones has
2:09:32
Speaker 1: indeed impacted gasoline. It's not that we don't have the oil.
2:09:37
Speaker 1: The resource isn't limited. It's the refining and getting it
2:09:40
Speaker 1: out of where it is out to the open market.
2:09:42
Speaker 1: So it's a market interruption, and you can blame that
2:09:44
Speaker 1: on Trump if you want. I think there's a logical
2:09:46
Speaker 1: connection there or equal to shut down the increase. But
2:09:49
Speaker 1: with regard to inflation, generally speaking, that's the trillions of
2:09:52
Speaker 1: dollars at the printing press. Now Republicans bear some responsibility
2:09:55
Speaker 1: for that as well. But when the value of the
2:09:57
Speaker 1: dollar loses one third over a period of time less
2:10:00
Speaker 1: than a year, I think I read that since twenty
2:10:02
Speaker 1: nineteen one third less buying power, that's the watering down
2:10:06
Speaker 1: of the currency. And you can't put that at the
2:10:08
Speaker 1: feet of Trump alone. It's you know, administration after administration
2:10:11
Speaker 1: running the printing press. But if you want to find
2:10:13
Speaker 1: blame for the current round of inflation, well, isn't it
2:10:17
Speaker 1: the Green New Deal that we were sold the Inflation
2:10:19
Speaker 1: Reduction Act, which really wasn't It was three trillion additional
2:10:22
Speaker 1: dollars thrown into the world based upon one bill alone.
2:10:25
Speaker 9: Jack, listen that you're absolutely right, And here's the problem
2:10:33
Speaker 9: you probably confront this. People have short memories, and I
2:10:37
Speaker 9: feel like when we say that and it is the truth,
2:10:40
Speaker 9: people go, okay, but Trump's been in office how long.
2:10:43
Speaker 9: I'm tired of that excuse because the reality is most
2:10:45
Speaker 9: presidents do do that.
2:10:47
Speaker 1: They blame their.
2:10:48
Speaker 9: Predecessor, at some times appropriately, sometimes inappropriately. Here it's appropriate.
2:10:52
Speaker 9: I just don't know if people.
2:10:53
