• 0:12
  Speaker 1: talk station. Friday will a vacation. There's a woo who.

  Speaker 1: You gotta know it's Friday when my executive producer Joe
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Streker does the woo who button. Thank you Joe, director
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: for the sound by Brian Thomas right here. Glad to
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: be hosting the fifty five KRC Morning Show, and I
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: am glad it's Friday, always am. So come Monday Tuesday,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: this f y, Dan Carol's gonna be coming for me
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: because I anticipate, like the last two rounds of cancer treatments,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be totally zoned out two times in a row,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: kick me, kicks me in the butt, like on Sunday.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: So I get the treatment yesterday, I get the treatment today,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I'm okay tomorrow knockwood, and then I get the legs
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: knocked out under me on a Saturday or on Sunday
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: rather and it carried over the last couple of times
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: in a Monday and a little bit into Tuesday. So
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: out of an abundance of caution, and certainly you'll be
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: in good hands with Dan Carroll. I appreciate you, Dan,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: if you're out there and tuned in which I doubt
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I guess right now it's too early. That'll be taking
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: good care of the show Monday Tuesday. I'll be back
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Wednesday and just in time for Judge Nita Polaitano in
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the Big Picture with Jack ovident every Wednesday. What's coming
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: up today? In the fifty five casey morning shuld In
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: addition to your phone calls, feel free to call. Oh look,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: another terrorist act, this one at Old Dominion University. We
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: had the synagogue attack the other day, and God bless
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the FBI for providing training classes to the synagogue and
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: for the people who dispatched the would be murderer driving
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: through the synagogue and an automobile. Hmm. Something's commented on
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: yesterday about being prepared over at Old Dominion. The prosecutors
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: blame me Republicans and guns. Guns. Until there's a political
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: will to break the spell the cunt cult of gun globalism,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you will see more incidents like this. Really, that's because
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: guns exist. Well, ask the people at the Temple Israel
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: if they're happy about guns being around, because of course
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the would be murderer was shot to death before he
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: was able to well murder people. So yeah, guns have
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: their place, and sometimes they have a great place, the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: great equalizer, because I turned many times over the years
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and thankfully for me a perfect illustration of happy that
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I had a handgun at one point. Never thought I'd
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: have to pull that thing out in self defense. It
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: does happen, and you know, you never know the moment
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: in time when you may need it. All I can
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: say is, thank God we've got them. Tech Friday Day've
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: had her up coming up at six thirty. Iran well
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: engaged in malware attacks. This is a really scary thing
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: that happened the other day. And you know, in addition
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to acts of terrorism involving guns and automobiles, we need
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: to ban Joe. We need to get rid of automobiles.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: That's the solution, isn't it. We enable people to use
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: automobiles as terrorist mechanisms and killing people. We've seen this
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: all over the world. We need to get rid of them.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Nobody's ever made that argument anyway. Malware attacks from the Iranians.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: This giant, it's a company called Striker, is an off
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: it's completely offline, hit by a what was called a
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: wiper malware attack. We'll learn the details from Tech Friday's
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Dave Hatter. This company produces products like surgical and neurotechnology equipment.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Fifty three thousand employees. It's a fortune five hundred company,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: twenty two point six billion sales. The terrorists, the Iranian hackers,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: stole fifty terabytes of data data before wiping out tens
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: of thousands of systems and servers across the network. Two
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand systems plus completely wiped away, presumably with a keystroke.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Now you may think that doesn't hurt me, This is
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: just one of a whole lot of hacking incidents going
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: on in the world. But you know what, what if
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: that was the electric grid? What if it was something
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: connected to what you and I need every single day
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: to live our lives. Frightening stuff, frightening stuff, and I
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: don't know what there is we can do about it ever. Vigilant,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: of course, I think I would like to think that
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: dedicated resources and our governments Thurrow across the board Ohio, State, local,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and federal are all diligently working to make sure they're
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: a head of hackers. But Genie, maybe out of the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: bottle already. Local man hit by bank imposter scam. That's
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: topic number two with Dave and then find at Meta
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: has been suit over privacy of smart glasses and Big
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Brothers watching, particularly when you help out wearing smart glasses.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: We'll find out what the lawsuit's all about. Coming up
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: again beating at six thirty Private citizen, former Congressman Brad
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: wins or Billion Studio at seven oh five. Yay, I'm
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: glad we have Brad Winzer'm coming in and talk about
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: what's going on in the world. I'll get his thoughts
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: about you know, I think the clock is ticking and
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: there's again the War Powers Resolution sixty day clock ticking
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: if there's no authorization, if there's no declaration of war,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: if there's no you know expression from Congress, a sixty
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: day TikTok, TikTok with a thirty day extension, you got
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: ninety days to get it done. You got to pull
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the troops out. Is that going to happen? And then ultimately,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of information and talking about
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: the real problem with Iran and the shutting down of
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: straight of Hormoz has really brought this to everyone's attention,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: considering it has had a massive global impact. Now I'd
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: like to think that the massive global impact. Everyone in
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the world has been affected by this. Price of oil
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: alone going up impacts every single man, woman, a chot
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: on the planet. We need it to survive. So if
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the entire world has been disrupted to the negative, we
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: have nothing but bad news coming out because of the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: actions of Iran. Oh, No, it's the United States of
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: America and Israel who started all this. That's why Hormuz
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: is shut down. No, it's beyond that. They're proxy wars
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: with terrorism. There direct threats to the shipping lanes had
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: been going on for years and years. There's a great
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: article about it. I think it was a Kim Strassel
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: in Today's Wall Street Journal points it out risk. It's
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: like insurance risk. There's a risk of something bad going down,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the premium is going to be a little bit higher.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: It's like your home, what's the likelihood of fire? They
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: have actuaries, it'll tell exactly how likely it is your
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: home's going to have a fire. That's why your premium
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: is based what it is. They get profit and they
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: get to cover their losses when they have to pay
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: out acclaim. But profits obviously cover all the losses they
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: got to pay out actuaries. Figure out the probability. Same
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: damn thing goes for ships going through the strait of
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Horror moves. If there is a possibility, even if it's small,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: that a terrorist action is going to bring the straight
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: of horror moves of that ship to the bottom of
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the sea, you're paying for it, and the numbers are calculated.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: There are figures available for you to see what the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: impact is. That impact is paid for us every single day,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: regardless of whether there's a conflict between Israel, United States
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and Iran or not. Right alone, gives Iran tremendous amount
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: of power over the global oil industry, and they've drawn
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: a lot in the sound. Apparently the cardboard paper cutout
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: of the new Iranian Supreme Leader issued statement the other
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: day that yeah, we're gonna use it as leverage. Why
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: in the hell wouldn't we What other leverage do they have?
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Write nothing? But what do we see bubbling out of
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: all this? Looks like all the countries in the area
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: are piling up against Iran. Maybe they're finally woken up
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: to the reality as a consequence of this, maybe illegal war,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: but one that's going on anyway, that you know what,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: this is a golden opportunity for us to rid ourselves
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: of the pestilence it is Iran and its impact on
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: our doing business every day. Wouldn't it be nice to
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: rebuild and bring back all the tourism that we are enjoying.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Up until about five minutes ago, the respect in the
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: world had gone up got the Abraham Accords were suggesting
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: that there is going to be some sustained peace in
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the region, and that idea was potentially growing. Long come
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the Iranians, right, we got this thorn in our side
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: that we cannot get rid of. There will never be
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: regime change in Iran. They have a stranglehold over the people.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: And I don't know what the people actually believe in
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: or not. Maybe they're all about the supreme leader. Well,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: actions have consequences, and I suppose maybe long term we'll
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: look back on this and it be maybe a moment
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: of triumph. Can't guarantee that, but imagine if you will
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: take yourself out of the realm of the current geopolitical
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: problems that we're all facing. If Iran wasn't there as
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: a threat, what's left. No one's funding has Balah or Hamas.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I suppose the Chinese or the Russians could step in
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: and fund them themselves, but that hurts them. I mean
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: they've been given waivers of the tariffs so they can
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: get the oil into Russia. That makes sense, doesn't it.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: So even Russia and China would benefit from a world
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: without Iran because they would get their well oil shipped
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: like the rest of us. So anyway, you can feel
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: free to call a comment five one three, seven, four
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: nine fifty five eight hundred eight two three Talk time
• 9:15

• 9:47
  Speaker 1: from the Norfolk Field Office from the Attorney General. The
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: students rendered him no longer alive. We had some details
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: on that one. This is absolutely bat crab crazy five

  Speaker 1: Nega, Don, I would appreciate that. I have to admit
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I missed the FJB texts from my wife under the
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: prior administration. And good morning Paul at five one three
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: hundred two three ta pound five fifty on AT and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: T phone before we dive on into some of the
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: details of this old Dominion shooting. Anyway, Terry the pilot,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Terry long time does speak man. Great to hear from
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: you this morning.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: It's good to be retired. But for some reason I
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: still wake up at four in the morning.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Sometimes yeah, well, and and then you go to the
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: bathroom and you go back to bed.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Well, usually I do that, but not this morning.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: I've been thinking about this professor named Alan Dershowitz.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: Have you ever heard of him?
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Of course I have.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's a I.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Guess he's a lawyer, a professor emeritus, and a constitutional
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: expert of some sort. But he's got a different viewpoint
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: than Judse Nepolitano.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: People.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: A lot of people do.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Terry.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: I found an article in Newsmax that says, quote, every
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Democratic president since has taken some military actions without congressional approval.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Of course, I have said, we haven't had World War
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: two decision.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: So I think the president's decision to level a surprise attack,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: one that doesn't permit for Congress to have a debate
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: about it, is completely lawful, completely constitutional, and correct in
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: terms of national interest of the United States.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I've heard that before many times. And then you
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: look over to the other side of the legal argument.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: You have people equally wedded to the thought that this
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: is not lawful absent congressional approval. So who's right. We
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: live in a world where there are multiple versions and
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: interpretations of the Constitution. Hell, we're still wrestling over what
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the Second Amendment means, and we are wrestling and struggling
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: with the fact of the Fourth Amendment doesn't even exist anymore.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: For the most part, Well, we make the arguments, we
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: have the discussions, we have the debate, and we go
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: back to the fact that you're right, and Drschwitz is right,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: and history demonstrates objectively that there's been no declaration of
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: war since World War Two, And yet how many military
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: conflicts and quote unquote wars have we been in? Call
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: them a police action. I say, when two sides of
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: a different flag are shooting each other, it's.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: War, that's true.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: But that Congress doesn't declare a war, then therefore it's
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: not a war.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: That's good, right.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: I think after listening to Thomas Mancy last week saying, well,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: president whoever it is, to go to Congress and have
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: a discussion with them, the Congress has to give the
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: approval to use military force, right, I think that's ultimately wrong.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: It's wrong in the tradition, it's wrong in the constitution.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Now Congress can decide whether to declare war or not.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: But until the war power is that which Dershuish may
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: brought up, it may not even be constitutional.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I would say it's not. It is an unconstitutional delegation
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: of the war powers declaration to a president, even though
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: for a limited basis there's lots of case law on that.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: We go back to the Reagan line. It in veto, Oh,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: joy of joys, wouldn't be great if the president could
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: scratch out appropriations that are for nonsensical purpose. Like literally
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: everything that the doge for that doge was looking at. Sorry,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: you can't give away congressional authority. Power of the purse
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: rests exclusively with Congress.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Ergo.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: You can't delegate a line on in vita. This is
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the same thing. What does let's say right there, the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: power to declare war rests with Congress war powers declaration,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: a war powers resolution delegates a portion of that power
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: has never been tested in court. But the same argument applies.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: So if the court would ultimately say remains unknown, but
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I would argue that it is not constitutional. Ergo. The
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: only thing left is the declaration of warring of the constitution. HM.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Well, the ultimate control of where the president's war making
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: power is Congress deciding to fund it or not.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: That is correct as well. And what do we do
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: with Vietnam?
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: We started out what was it? Eisenhower trum? Anyway, advisors
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: go in Kennedy inherits it. Things start ramping up over time,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: and what does Congress do? Nothing by way of authorization,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: nothing by way of declaration. But they kept funding it,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: and no one raised the hand and said, wait a second,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: is this right? Fifty five thousand lives later, we pull
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: out and guess what, it didn't go real well, but
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: you know, we'll judge historial judge that accordingly, and historial
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: judge what's going on in the Middle East accordingly.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: I remember reading about the Whiskey Rebellion. I can imagine
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: George Washing and going to Congress. Hey, we got these
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: problems up there in Pennsylvania. Do you mind if I
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: take some troops over there and try to squash ah Terry?
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: And what are you focusing on? Congressional dysfunction? And I
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: don't think the founding fathers anticipated the level of animosity
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: or even a concept like Trump derangement syndrome back then,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: welcome to the two party system, Welcome to well in
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: action across the board. That's the problem we face. And
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: this is an undeniable reality. So when if you are
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: springing from the proposition that Congress exclusively has the power
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: to declare war and we're not getting into some semantical
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: argument over whether we're engaged in a war or not,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: because I think definitionally we are, then you got to
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: look at, hmm, what's to be done about it? Well,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: if you look at the War Power's resolution, it does
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: seem to provide the relief mechanism that a dysfunctional Congress
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: might run into President has sixty days. Basically, now you
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: got that whole imminent threat argument. Many on the one
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: side are saying there was no eminent threat. We've been
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: dealing with the quote unquote threat from the Iranians since
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: they took over the government in nineteen seventy nine. They've
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: killed our people, they held us hostage, they've blown up boats. Obviously,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: ongoing conflict is in an imminent threat to the United
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: States of America. Wrestle and talk about it amongst yourselves.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: We're never going to resolve that problem. But that was
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the basis upon which he entered and that's the window
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: that the War Powers Resolution gives them. So without the
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Warpowers Resolution, I think we're stuck with this whole idea
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: that Congress must declare war or the president can't do
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: anything unless the old adage, the hun is coming over
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the hill and it requires the chief executive or the
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Commander in chief of the United States military to act
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: immediately to stop the threat to America. Lots of complications
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: and layers, but yes, the big problem congressional dysfunction. Take
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: us out of the war and look at anything else.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: What are you left with? Congressional dysfunction? Department Homeland Security
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: has not yet been funded. We're in a very problematic
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: period of time here, the ripple effect from the not
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: war or whatever obviously taken root and terrorist action. We
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: all talked about this probably happening. Department of Homeland Security
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: already warning about potential drones sits out in California or whatever.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: But look old Dominion shooting. We got the attack on
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: the synagogue. This has been going on for a long time,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: expected to ramp up. Yeah, what's Congress doing about it?
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Later on the thirty five Kurrissy Morning Shop after Congress
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: from Brad Winsor Robert Sprague running for Secretary of State.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Marcel Sturbich has been on the program. That's his running me.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: But the Republican Party already endorsed Robert Sprague. I have
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: to ask him about what his thoughts are on the
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: even though they're nearer to his benefit. What his feelings
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: are about the party endorsing in advance of the primary.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Should only citizens be allowed to vote a high elections?
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I'll be going on, I'll be going over that with
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Robert Spragg. That's at eight oh five, and then we'll
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: hear from Jack Windsor, editor in chief the How President
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Network at AY thirty five twenty six. Right now back
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: with local stories or phone calls.
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: Stick around fifty five KRC.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I'm Anna Navarro and on my new pod, Happy Friday.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Bit you five Karosey dot col and you can't listen

• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the fried fish lists up on the fifty five KRC

  Speaker 1: Our iHeartMedia avsh Next Bert, I hope you saw the
• 18:16

  Speaker 1: Thank you Joe Strekker for the guests, and really a

  Speaker 1: great lineup this morning at least form my perception. I'm

  Speaker 1: just I'm really looking forward to having a tech Friday.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Brad Weinster, Robert Sprague, Jack Windsor all on the Morning
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Show today. Let's go to the phones and see what
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Maureen has this morning. Maureen, Happy Friday to you. Good
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: to hear from me as always.
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: Good morning, Brian. First of all, I want to say
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: good luck with your treatments, thank you yesterday and today,
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: and I also wanted to congratulate you on the award
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: that you've got.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, thank you very much. Barrett Media. Did you read
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the article they wrote? No, I didn't post it.
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you should send it.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: And the article even points out I am self deprecating
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: and I don't tooting my own harmless stuff. I had
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: a really hard time even posting the results of the
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Barrett Media survey. But I am strongly encouraged by my
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: lords and masters to do things like that for the
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: purposes of promoting the show. But I'm not a self
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: promotion guy.
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: So but if you just have Joe put it up,
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: put it up on your website, well, okay.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, I like his prerogative. I don't touch the fifty
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: five care Sie Morning Show website that is the exclusive
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: purview of Joe Strecker, and God bless.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Him for that.
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: We'll have him do it because I'd like to read it. Anyway.
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: I wanted to talk speaking of Joe, I heard you mention,
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: oh gosh, I don't know it was a week or
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: a week and a half ago, about how maybe my
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: way of thinking was rapping off on him. As far
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: as Venezuela, going into Venezuela about the oil, yeah, I'm
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: definitely not saying that's the only reason we went in there.
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: I think there's going to be some voter fraud found
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: there too, but that's down the road.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: But I'm going to ask Brag about computer voting. I mean,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: he is all about paper, at least accorded to with
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: campaign materials, So I am going to ask him about
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: computer voting. So if that, I hope that helps Marien.
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah, good, well, real quick. Florida passed a bill. Well
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: they it's in legislation and it hasn't been signed by
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: DeSantis yet, but they're they're going about it themselves in Florida.
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: It's HP oh GOSHN one nine nine or nine something
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: like that. But anyway, I don't have that right in
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: front of me, but they are putting their own rules
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: in place. But I could digress. I go back to
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: Venezuela and the oil. Now, it's interesting because with the
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: strait up, our news being our mouse being a you know,
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: area of conflict, they are, We're able to get oil
• 20:48
  Speaker 8: from Venezuela through the Caribbean right to our Gulf coast
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: into Texas and Brownsville specifically in Louisiana. So I think
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: that that was very strategic on Trump's part to go
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: there first. Yeah, because now we can secure a lot
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: of that oil and then we can refine it and
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: give it back to them. Well, and the reason they
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: haven't profited from it so much just because the crud
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: is so thick and that we have the actual we
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: spent billions on the ability to refine their crew, which
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: is like tar. So Chevron is going to be in
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: there doing that, which I think is going to benefit
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: a lot of people.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Well, and don't overlook the fact that Donald Trump's first
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: term all the above energy strategy and his current continuation
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: of that has provided an abundance of additional oil, further
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: stabilizing the disruption caused by the Iranians shutting down the
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: straight of Hormuz Marine. What do you think the price
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: of oil would be right now if we were not
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: a net exporter like we used to be, it.
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: Was you'd being pretty well off if you were.
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: Invested in some oils damn Street.
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah, because the price is going up.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to go out.
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: Chevron's going to be a good thing. So I don't
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: know if you saw that picture that went viral of
• 21:54
  Speaker 8: that little she was a Secret Service agent and Trump
• 21:57
  Speaker 8: was driving by, and she looked to be twelve years old,
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: and so that went viral because she's all dressed in
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: her her little suit and her microphone and all that
• 22:05
  Speaker 8: in her earbud. But the picture went viral, and I'm
• 22:09
  Speaker 8: looking at it and I'm thinking, why is this getting
• 22:11
  Speaker 8: so much attention? Why this is very odd? But you
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: look above her and there's a Chevron sign. She's in
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: front of a gas station and it's Chevron, and and
• 22:20
  Speaker 8: I think that's, well, you know, my way my mind works.
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: I know that's that's what that was all about. But
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: I also wanted to backtrack on a couple of things
• 22:28
  Speaker 8: that I called about. Remember one, I said that when
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: Fulton County, Georgia, when we were there for the electing
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: fraud and that Arizona would be next. Well, they're finding
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: things in Maricopa County right now in Arizona, and I
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: think Pennsylvania is going to be next in Wisconsin. So
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: we need to look for those to come about. But
• 22:45
  Speaker 8: John Solomon has come out and he said within the
• 22:47
  Speaker 8: next two done days, excuse me, in the next ten days,
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: a lot of information is going to be coming out
• 22:52
  Speaker 8: about that photo fraud.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: It's a trickle, isn't it marine And you know what
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: else is going to be coming out more and more
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: like Minnesota and Los Angeles and other places they're finding
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: epic fraud. It takes time. You got to have someone
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: like an administration with the willingness to go after it
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: to make it stop. And that's what we're seeing right now.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: How long will it take to find the evidence? A while?
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Keep your popcorn out wait for it. It's going on
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: out there everywhere. If you can have nine plus billion
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: dollars in fraud in one city under a couple of
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: different federal programs, and there are hundreds of federal programs,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: how bad do you think it is out in the
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: rest of the country. Right It's terrible and that may
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: be the case with voter fraud as well. No one's
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: bothered to look into it until now. Oh, it rarely
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: ever happens, right Maureen. Well, if it can rarely happen,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: then that's a reason to go look into it as well.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: It should never happen. Five thirty five right now, if
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: you have KRSD talk station, your calls or stacks the.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Talk station, can you play John the Fishermen.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Five forty always the answer yes at this moment in time.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: And if you about Kars Morning Show, Happy Friday to
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: you always invite phone calls, Yeah, five eighty two to
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: three talk pound five to fifty on AT and T phones.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: First little primus for Joe Strackord, messinground with that output
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: volume Ajoel. Nothing to laugh about a terrorist attack, that
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: old Dominion shooting. And I just love what the special
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Agent in charge of the Norfolk Office had to say
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: to reporters about this guy after Eli yelling aloa akbar,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: the would be terrorist murderer, subdued by students who quote
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: rendered him no longer alive close quote. That's what they're
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: calling it these days. Anyhow, Back over to the not
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: back to right out of the gate, with his stack
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: is stupid observing no calls. Oh, it looks like Tom's
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: calling him this morning. But first, Centreville residents woke up
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: last week to find a naked guy. Multiple residents inside
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: their house cornered police. Fairfax County Police Department investigating four
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: different home burglaries curried between March five and eighth and
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: the London Town neighborhood, all possibly committed by the same
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: guy naked at least in two cases. First started at
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Ealing Court four thirty in the morning, woman reported burglary
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: in process court of the statement, the victim was awakened
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: by her dog barking and observed a fully naked guy
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: inside her home. Suspect fled before officers got there. Detectives
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: who took over the investigation looking around the area, didn't
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: couldn't find the guy. Then they learned that two other
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: homes in the same neighborhood also burglarized. March fifth, five
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: point fifteen of the morning, victim getting ready for work
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: when the suspect entered the bedroom inside her home and
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: fled the residence when confronted. Maybe he confronted by a firearm,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Be nice to have one, though, castle doctrine.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: That guy might have not been bothering anybody else from
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: that moment in time afterwards, just throwing it in there.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Sorry editorial comments. March six, five thirty in the morning,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: residents discovered a footprint and a trash can that had
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: been moved against the fence, believed to have been used
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: to climb into the backyard. Evidence indicated an attempted burglary
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: at that residence. A fourth one, three thirty in the
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: morning next day, resident reportedly heard footsteps in the hallway
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: observed the suspect again fully nude, standing in a doorway
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: before he fled. In every case, the person entered the
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: home through an unsecured door plan ahead folks. Detectives said
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the same person behind all four instance, least they believe
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: it to be. In addition to conducting a targeted enforcement
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: investigation in the area, police asking residents to check home
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: or vehicle security footage, of course, for any suspicious activity
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: and to let the cops know about it. Hey, you
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: know what, keep your door locked too, There's an idea.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: And doors can be broken, windows can be breached. It's
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: easy to break into a home. I recommend a dog
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: and a gun. Tom welcome to the Morning Show. Happy
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Friday to You're glad to hear from.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: You, Brian.
• 26:58
  Speaker 9: Good luck with your treatment very much.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it.
• 27:02
  Speaker 9: Now. I think Judge Politana, he was so wrong on
• 27:07
  Speaker 9: us blowing up these drug boats. It might have been
• 27:10
  Speaker 9: a rouge, but we did get that oil flowing out
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: of Venezuela, which we need. We need it right this moment. Also,
• 27:17
  Speaker 9: I think Alberta oil is going to start flowing, and
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: I think they're going to break away from the rest
• 27:22
  Speaker 9: of Canada because there's no minefield they have to go
• 27:25
  Speaker 9: through to get that oil down to the United States.
• 27:28
  Speaker 9: They don't have any pipeline going east and the west,
• 27:31
  Speaker 9: so were there only resources to get that out of
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: that country. So without the United States fighting the rest
• 27:37
  Speaker 9: of the world's problems, you know, there's no hope for
• 27:41
  Speaker 9: the rest of the world.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Perhaps in what way was he wrong? He didn't comment
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: about the success or failure of blowing up drug boats.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: He talked about the legality, which is a completely different discussion.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: This is where we kind of part company. There's a
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: question of a discussion of the law, and then there's
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: a question of the practical implications, like will the practical
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: implications of the war where IRN come out and in
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: you're to everyone's benefit. I'm guessing yes, if we're successful,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: including the benefit of everybody in the region, does it
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: make it lawful? Completely different discussion. Does a drug boat
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: fifteen hundred miles away represent an imminent threat justifying military
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: action against that drug boat suspected drug boat? I personally
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: don't think it does. Will that drug boat ultimately make
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: it to the shores of the United States of America
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: where drugs will be distributed, Probably, But you know what,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: you got fifteen hundred miles where once they get into
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: US waters, you have a better chance of making the
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: argument that it is justifiable to blow them up because
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: it look it's imminent. It's right there. As I mentioned
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: in the last segment, the hun's coming over the hill,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think the bottle time has ever come in
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: about the outcome. It's a separate, completely separate discussion. That's
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: what the law is all about. And sometimes you get
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: cases that go your way and sometimes you don't. Outcome
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: maybe a completely separate discussion. Well, thank god he ignored
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the law, because look, the world's a much better place
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: for it. Thank god he ignored the law because look,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of people didn't die from fentanyl coming in
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: from US South America and our friends down there, right
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: make that argument all day long, and you're right on that.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Does it make it lawful? Completely different question five forty
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: five right now fifty five k See these talk station
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: got some more stupid after these words.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: It's not bad to deal with. Early on this Friday
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: morning in Bend, seventy four continues to run under ten
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: minutes from to seventy five at the coal ring split
• 29:32

  Speaker 1: Five point fifty fifty five kr se de talk station.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: I got to go to the phone before I get

  Speaker 1: to naked guy crashing cars into trees and then trying
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: to carjack more people. Bobby, welcome to the morning show.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Welcome back.
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: Baseball family.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Joe didn't hit the button to let your words come

• 30:05
  Speaker 9: Well, thank you, my brother, Happy Friday to you, based

  Speaker 9: Flag family and Armed Security Services apparently, so you'll keep
• 30:13
  Speaker 9: your life in your freedom.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and just get to take the advice from
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: the FBI if they come into your synagogue, your church,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: your classroom and explain to you what you need to
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: do in an active shooter situation. One of the things
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: is defend yourselves if you are capable of doing so.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: But that's after you try to leave in flight.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: Well, I just want to come in the security guard
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: up there at the temple up there.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because I tell you what if.
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: It wouldn't been for him and you got that guy
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: coming in there with the rifle, those poor children. I
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: need to tell you that that is my salute.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Of the day. Amen, brother, I agree with you all
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: day long. They were prepared, Bobby, right, Yes, they were
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: prepared for something that they prayed to God would never happen. Correct,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: that's the fundamental draw takeaway from this. Yes, and we
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: have a lot of criminals in the world who ignore
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: firearms laws and will acquire one in spite of the
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: fact that they're they're not lawfully allowed to carry one. Teenagers,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: people under disability prior felons, et cetera, et cetera. They're
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: getting them. So you want to take them away from
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: everybody in the world based on some law that you pass.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Good luck trying to make that effective. That just makes
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: you a target everywhere. Then, is quote unquote a gun
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: free zone in a world that's a washed with guns?
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: The guns of the problem. No, crazy people are the problem.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: And you can't rid the world of crazy people. And
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: if they don't have a gun, maybe they'll use a car, right,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Bobby five point fifty two, Feel free to chime in.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Naked guy, it's stack of stupid Friday naked man crash
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: his own car before trying to carjack another vehicle Prazing, Sacramento, California,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: on Monday, please sit the received reports of a reckless
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: driver Highway ninety nine in the afternoon two thirty pm.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Man crashed, overturning his vehicle, then exited the vehicle and
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: attempted to steal another one. The man shown naked in
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: a video that was shared on social media arrested a
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: little bit thereafter. No word on how much his bond is.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: He was in Hamilton County, nder Judge Silverstein, probably free unrecognizance.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Anyway we go. We got investigation underway by the Pennsylvania
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: State Police Department after a naked guy seen wandering away
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: from another man. This one's pretty innocuous. Happened in Marysville Burrow.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: According to the report, Pennsylvania Police said the man was
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: seen around midnight Wednesday near the intersection of Maple and Spruce.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: At the scene, troopers said the man, described as white
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: and thin plea to be twenty and twenty nine years old,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: wandered off in an unknown direction from the man he
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: was near, who he was approaching. Court to state police
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: requesting any information, any additional information or yes, of course,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: video surveillance in the area. If you have a ring camera,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: they would like to talk with you. That's it, hmm,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: looking for a thin white guy. Joe says he's out.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know what constitutes thin anymore, Joe. I think
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: our definitions have changed over the years, because I remember
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I was ten Ton Thomas when I was in elementary school,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: and you know, a judging from my photographs during that era,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: no one would even recognize me in a crowd these
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: days as being overweight. Saint Louis, we have a former
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: officer with the florists On Police Department of Missouri sentenced
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: to federal court Wednesday for unlawfully searching the cell phones
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: of women for nude photos during traffic stops.
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: Perio is the biggest douche of the universe, in all
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: the galaxies, there's no bigger.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: Douche than you.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Last December, Julian al Khal admitted of pulling over multiple women,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: telling them he needed to take their phones to his
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: police vehicle to retrieve their insurance and registration. Uh no,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Then they searched the phones for nude images. He found
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: a new picture. If he found one, he said he
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: would take the picture with his own phone. He did
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: it twenty times between febru of February of twenty four
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: and May of twenty four. Court to the US Attorney's office.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Finally caught after forwarding one video of victim moment to
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: his phone and attempting to delete evidence of that forwarding
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: the text.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: He didn't.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Apparently, victim discover the video had been forwarded and contacted
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the FBI, who searched Alcoholis cloud storage and discovered the
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: video and pictures of nineteen other victims. US attorney there said,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: I really applaud the courage of this woman coming forward.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: I'll call it. I'll collapleted guilty December last year to

  Speaker 1: twenty counts of deprivations of rights under color of law,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: and namely the right to be free from unreasonable searches
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: and seizures. There's your Fourth Amendment. You can't take a
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: phone and search it just based on a traffic stop.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: You need probable cause. Huh, there's that fourth Amendment standing
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: there to protect you. Sadly, our government officials would like
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: to get rid of it. There's that pesky constitution. US

  Speaker 1: right here, which nobody very happy Friday and the invitation
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: to stick around. Great show lined up thanks to Executi
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: producer in and a research guru all around great guy,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Joe Strecker. A tech Friday coming to the bottom of
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: the hour of the Iranian malware attack and a frightening,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: frightening thing considering the gravity of that attack and how
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: much data they were able to just click into the ether.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: One business impact which had a ripple effect profound, but
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: maybe didn't hit you directly. I'm just worried about something bigger.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: We've got so many announcements and reports over the years
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: about the nefarious forces in the world, and lord knows
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: there's a bunch of them out there infiltrating some really
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: critical systems like maybe the electric grid. Yeah, there's a
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: frightening thing. Of course, with all these new terrorist actions
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: breaking out, another one just yesterday, it's something to really
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: concern yourself about. At least I think it's worthwhile planning ahead,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: which thankfully the Temple Israel. Temple or Temple Israel did
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: they had an active shooter plan in place, and so
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: when the guy rove through the front door they're building,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: attempting to kill people, they dispatched him. They rendered him dead.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I think was the words were used in that separate
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: terrorist incident at Old Dominion the other day. Anyway, be prepared,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: please Congressman Winstrop in studio Robert Sprague for the whole
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock hour with Robert Sprague or with Congressman Winstrop former.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Now it's private citizen Robert Sprague on. He's running for
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Secretary of State, Marcel Sturbage his challenger. He's going to
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: be on for one long segment at eight to five,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: follow by Jack wins Or, editor in chief the How
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Press Network. Will get his updates on things in the state,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: including Bigfoot. He has been reporting on that lately. Apparently
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: people think Bigfoot's alive, although apparently there's a new documentary out.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: I just got to get this in here. It's called
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Capturing Bigfoot. Yeah, you've all been due the Bigfoot film
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: that you all remember, the Striding Bigfoot, filmed by Robert Pattison.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: They have new evidence that that was all a lie
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: and his son is coming out what Yeah, apparently a
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: lot of money being made on the perpetua perpetuating the
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: myth that there is a big foot out there anyway.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Just one of the topics with Jack windsor five one
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: three seven for nine fifty five hundred eight hundred eighty
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: two three talk found fifty on AT and T phone
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: and it gave credit to Kim Strassel, and I should
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: have given it to Peter Navarro. The real cost of
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: the straight of hoorn moves being subject to the Iranian shutdown,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: which it has been for years and years, baked into
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: the global price of oil all the time, and so
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: ignoring the legal problems that we may be discussed on
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: whether or not it was a lawful action against Iran,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: the practical implications may prove to be globally successful and
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: globally stabilizing. And I note and you need to keep
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: this in mind. Just yesterday the UN, the UN overwhelmingly
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: passed a resolution condemning the Iranians and their attack on
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: those countries surrounding Israel. Resolution twenty eight seventy one was
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: submitted by bah ray In on behalf of the Gulf
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Cooperation Council, co sponsored by one hundred and thirty five countries,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: condemning unequivocally in the strongest terms Iran attacking the region,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: no mention of Israel. It even references another resolution that
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: excoriated Iran back in nineteen eighty four, when Iran was
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: attacking shipping. Oh, I guess this has been going on
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: for a while. One hundred and thirty five countries And
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: what did China and Russian do they have a veto power?
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: They abstained? Huh, Well, wait a second, is this the
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: world waking up to the reality that a world without
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Iran and terrorism is going to be a better place
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: for everyone. I think we can draw that conclusion over
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: to the incomparable Kim Strassel Today's Trump Trump's energy triumph.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Fast forward a little bit. The Undermine America crowd describes
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormus as an oil
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: shock that's spiraling and chaotic and the worst in history.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: It seems to have evaded this crew that Iran's bombardment
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: a peaceful trading vessels is yet more justification of US strikes.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Iran has been using energy threads to manipulate geopolitics for
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: decades and won't stop until it's fully defanged. Maybe yesterday's
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: un vote is a point is pointing that out to
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Iran in spite of the new Supreme leader saying, yes,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: we're going to use the closure of the state of
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: hormuves as leverage. That's like the only leverage they really
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: have and have been using it for a long time.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Back to her, they're blaming the administration, in particular Energy
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Secretary Chris Wright and Interior Secretary Doug Bargham, who Politico
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: described as the vaunted team in danger of fumbling the
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: biggest energy crisis of Donald Trump's second term. The go
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: to quote comes from Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, who rented
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: that on the straits of Hormuz, they had no plan,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: which is unforgivable because this part of the disaster was
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent foreseeable. Okay, let's talk about plans. That
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: the US was finally in a position to disarm iron
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: is largely thanks to the plan mister Trump initiated in
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: his first term. Here you go to gain energy independence,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: which his team is now turning into energy dominance. Trump's
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: policies turbocharged a shale revolution that made the US a
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: net export of petroleum products and the world's second largest
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: exporter of natural gas. Alongside was Trump's plan to foster
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: economic security ties in the region against shared threads like Iran.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: The ideals like the Abraham Accords. We are no longer
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: hostage to Middle East fossil fuel threats, which gives US
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: room to weather temporary hormones disruptions. Domestic gas prices of spike,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: but are still notably lower than highs during Joe Biden's term.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: Remember that thanks to growing US exports, our allies are
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: better positions against fallout, and golf actors are working alongside
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: the US to mitigate Iran's blockade. Some of us remember
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Opek embargo days no more. The biggest threat to this
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: plan was always the Biden administration, which halted to liquefied
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: natural gas exports, shuttered Alaskan and golf drilling, snubbed Middle
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: East partners, pressed investors, and abandoned fossil fuel projects, and
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: dispatched John Kerry to kill energy deals, all in the
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: name of climate change. These would also be the folks
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: who sold off the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to win an
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: election remember that Joe Biden got price of gasoline necessarily
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: went up because of his policies. Well, let's release oil
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: from the strategy petroleum deserved to make my term look better.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Want to send real fear through the energy market's two words.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Jennifer Graham Holme, the Energy secretary who dedicated four years
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: to ensuring your washing machine used fewer BTUs. Speaking of secretaries,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: so it might surprise the press to discover that the
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: heads of the Energy and Interior aren't tasked with countering
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Iranian minds. That's the Pentagon's job. Their job is to
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: mitigate fallout from temporary supply disruptions, which yes, were expected
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: thanks to the energy dominance policy. In a year of
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: building real partnerships with real energy players, they've moved. They
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: have more levers to pull. Mister Wright has been on
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: the phone daily with Middle East energy ministers, ties possibly
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: thanks to early travel to the region, including the five
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: days he spent with Saudi energy chief Abdullah Zi's Ben Salmon,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: who with whom he struck a landmark civil nuclear energy
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: deal that allowed the US to position regional players for
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: possible conflict. That beats an awkward Biden first bump the
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: International Energy Agency announced it's releasing the largest volume of
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: emergency oil reserves in history, four hundred million barrels, after
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: mister Wright rallied member nations to the need. Right, it's
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: been pressing the IEA for over a year to drop
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: its climate obsessions and to get serious about its fossil
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: fuel mandate, and that work is paying off. US has
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: been refilling the spr with money. This is great, with
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: money earmarked in last year's reconciliation build a plan, it
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: will now release one hundred and seventy two million barrel
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: And here's a fun aside. Kimberly Straussel points out, rather
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: than sell it straight as the Biden team did, Right
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: is exchanging it on the market for futures contracts which
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: are currently vetting, prices will fall. This means that your
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: strategic patrolum oil reserve will get back two hundred million
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: barrels for the price of one hundred and seventy two million.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: How refreshing an energy secretary who understands energy markets. Mister Burgham,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: fresh off expanding a Venezuela US energy partnership, is flying
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: to Japan to reassure Pacific allies that American export capacity
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: is expanding dramatically. He's keeping the machinery running to follow
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: through on his promises. Interior this week announce forty seven
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: million dollars in bids from a second Gulf of Mexico
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: lease sale. It's issued six thousand permits for oil and
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: gas leasing the past year alone, more than the Biden
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: administration did in four years. Hormos is causing disruptions, but
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: those are likely to be short lived. As the US
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: gains ground against the Iron's offensive capabilities, it can devote
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: more assets to restoring shipping lanes. Mister Wright yesterday explained
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: it as quote short term pain for the long term
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: gain close quote of denying Iran the ability to hold
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: the world hostage whenever it wants, indeed, the ability to
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: do it all, and whether the short term a short
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: term will be thanks to a Trump team that had
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: a clear eyed, a multifaceted fossil fuel energy plant. And
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: I go back to the point I made the last
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: segment or last hour we do net export, and I
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: never thought I would live to see that day. After
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: I live through the OPAC embargo back in the seventy three,
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: I remember a lot of it. Peak oil. We don't
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: have any more oil underneath the surface of the ground.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, we're gonna run out. We need to
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: do something about this global warming. We're a net exporter,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: and it softened the blow of anything that might unfold
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: the Middle East. Yes, the price can go up when
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: op messes around, when Irana messes around on the strait
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: of hormones, but not as bad a disruption as the
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: world would be feeling if we weren't producing all this
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: natural gas and oil ourselves. And most notably, was it
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: in play that he put into action because of the
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: oil issues? Did he go invade Venezuela for the purposes
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: of making sure that oil was well reached the markets
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: that it could be refined. Somebody is investing three hundred
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: billion dollars in a brand new oil refinery. Mmmmm, first
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: one in fifty years. I guess they see stability down
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: the road, and of course, processing that tar like substance
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: they get out of Venezuela might require a new refinery.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Loreene six seventeen fifty five KC detalk station pats online,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Patrin the light holding for a moment. I'll be happy
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: to get your call and come back after mentioning, whoops,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: not my thermos over. I apologize for that. That's what
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: happens when you reach four notes notes on Well's immerheating
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: and air condition. Not that I need any talk station
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: six fifty five kros the talk station. Very Happy Friday,
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Tech Friday. Coming up to the next segment. How about that, David,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: of course, Oh yeah, let's go to the phones. Pat
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: was kind enough to stay on hold over the break. Pat,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the morning show. It's nice to hear from
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: you today. Happy Friday.
• 47:20
  Speaker 11: Happy Friday to you, and hope you survive. You do well.
• 47:23
  Speaker 11: What's your treatment this weekend?
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Pat? I appreciate survive. I hope I survived too,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: fat I really do.
• 47:31
  Speaker 9: That was kind of a freudyet, but I know I've
• 47:34
  Speaker 9: got a friend that's going through treatment right now too,
• 47:36
  Speaker 9: and it's it's not always a good day the next
• 47:38
  Speaker 9: day or two.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, But you know what, I'll go out
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: today and sure, unfortunately, today's the chemo bag, which only
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: takes twenty minutes as opposed to yesterday. I was there
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: for four hours. But I look around the room and
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: I consider myself a blessed, blessed man. There are so
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: many people struggling with cancer who have it so much
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: worse than I do, and so it's a humbling experience.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: And of course, you know, getting a cancer diagnosis sucks,
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: but I always like to joke about it. I guess
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: I got the lotto ticket winner in terms of cancer diagnosis.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: So I am not in as bad as shape as
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: so many in prayers, and God bless each and every
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: one of those cancer strugglering survivors out there.
• 48:14
  Speaker 11: Well, you're still in the ring, and that's what counts.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 48:16
  Speaker 11: You know one of the things right now that's just
• 48:19
  Speaker 11: astounding about our current administration, all the negative aside, we
• 48:23
  Speaker 11: have a businessman that knows how to negotiate and take
• 48:26
  Speaker 11: care of business, which is what running in the United
• 48:29
  Speaker 11: States is. And he has surrounded himself with light thinkers.
• 48:33
  Speaker 11: And when Biden gave away all that oil theoretically to
• 48:37
  Speaker 11: glower the price of gas, the refill price was so
• 48:41
  Speaker 11: much higher because of how high the price of oil
• 48:44
  Speaker 11: had gotten. And now we got a guy negotiating a
• 48:46
  Speaker 11: favorable deal, which is.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: Astounding, isn't it?
• 48:49
  Speaker 11: Great teching phase in our area. We have four different
• 48:54
  Speaker 11: places right now that you can get a pretty good fish, shrimp,
• 48:59
  Speaker 11: clam chowder, sam and dinner that you know, it's a
• 49:03
  Speaker 11: reasonable price, and it's all for a good cause. So
• 49:06
  Speaker 11: you've got a lot of we have a lot of
• 49:07
  Speaker 11: different options because I live relatively close to where you do. Nevertheless,
• 49:11
  Speaker 11: the third phase, when these people capture a terrorist like
• 49:18
  Speaker 11: the guy at Old Dominion, Yeah, don't kill keep him alive,
• 49:22
  Speaker 11: and let this guy get interviewed so the rest of
• 49:25
  Speaker 11: the United States can see just how insane these people
• 49:28
  Speaker 11: are to know what they're dealing with.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, interesting theory, pad, But if there's an active shooter
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: situation going on in a room that I'm in and
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: I'm in a position to dispatch that guy and rendered
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: him no longer alive, as the authority stated, I'm going
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: to do it. I'm not going to be thinking about
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: interrogating the guy down the road. I'm gonna think about
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: dispatching him and preventing him from killing somebody.
• 49:48
  Speaker 11: If you have to blast him, you blast him. But
• 49:51
  Speaker 11: if you don't, and you've got a room full of people,
• 49:54
  Speaker 11: pull that guy down so you can people can understand
• 49:57
  Speaker 11: these people are out of their mind.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's see, they're out of their minds and listen.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: I hope you never end up ever, nor would wish
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: it on my worst enemy to be in this situation
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: like that, where you're facing the eminent apprehension of death. Somehow,
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: I think that my default position wouldn't be processing truestioning
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: the guy down the road, and I wouldn't even know
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: what his motivations were at the time. Maybe he didn't
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: say a lua acbar at the time, so I don't
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: know why he's there. Maybe he's just deranged and has
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: some sort of psychological breakdown. Does it matter if you
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: question him, if it's just some looney tune going all
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: gunfiring on you.
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: No.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: I think in an active fire situation, you're gonna be
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: thinking about staying alive, and your thought process probably won't
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: go any further than that. But I don't deny you
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: have a valid point. Wouldn't it be nice to question
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: the guy? Fortunately, these days most everyone has left a
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: long and thorough social media account, and we do know
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: this guy was the old Dominion guy was previously involved
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: and convicted of aiding in a betting terrorists, most notably Isis,
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: So I think his motivation is clearly known. Comeing up
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: a six twenty six to fifty five KRC The talk station.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: Fifty five KRC the talk station.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: Six thirty Friday. It is that time intrust it dot
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: com for the best in the business and the greater
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati area. You want to get rely on interest I
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: for all your business computer needs, especially if your entire
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: system gets wiped out by a malware attack. Welcome back,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Dave had it from interest I, T well. Thank you
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: start by appreciating your company interest I for sponsoring this
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: segment at valuable it is and scaring the living crap
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: out of us regularly, which is a good thing, most
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: notably on the heels of this Striker attack. What the heck, Dave,
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: this is so bad.
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: Brian, first, as always, thanks for having me on and
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: the pleasure. I hate to always be the guy with
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: the bad news, but if you look at what happened
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: with Striker, and I'm a little surprised this has not
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: gotten more news coverage or or because of the connection
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: to the the action in Iran. So but this is
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: the kind of thing, Brian, you and I have talked
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: about for years. I've warned about it for years. So
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: Striker is a large company apparently based on a Michigan.
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: I really wasn't very familiar with them up to this incident,
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: although I'll tell you connection I have to it, which
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: is really interesting and even more concerning. They make medical
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: devices that are used in hospitals, doctors' offices, ambulances, that
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: sort of thing. So I'm just going to quote from
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: an article here Fortune five hundred. Company reported global sales
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: of twenty two point six billion and twenty twenty four
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: fifty three thousand employees. So we're not talking about some
• 52:36
  Speaker 4: mom and pop shop that doesn't have money, doesn't have resources,
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: and frankly is a technology company. They're making you know,
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: again quoting this article leading medical technology company. So they
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: were hit apparently as a result of the hostilities in Iran.
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: Now can't say it wouldn't have happened anyway, I know,
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: but the organization that was behind this attack claims to
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: be affiliated with Iran. You can see what they had
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: to say in the information they put out. You know,
• 53:06
  Speaker 4: Zionists rooted Corporation Striker, one of the key arms of
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: the global is Zionist lobby New Central Ring in the
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: New Epstein Chain. I'm reading to you from a statement
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: from Hondala.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: Is Big Foot, are big Foot and Chupacabra mentioned in there,
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: as well as the other conspiracy theories that they're fabricating.
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: They are not. They are. So here's what they say, Brian. Again,
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: the organization that claims to have done this, Striker's offices
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: in seventy nine countries have been forced to shut down.
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: All the acquired data is now in the hands of
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: the three people of the world, ready to be used
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: for the true landcement of humanity and the exposure of
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: injustice and corruption. They say. In this operation, over two
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: hundred thousand systems, servers, and mobile devices have been wiped
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: and fifty terror bytes of critical data have been extracted.
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: So again, this is a company that makes medical equipment.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: I was just going to ask you, are the terrorist
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: hackers behind the Iranians? Are they going to start making
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: surgical neurotechnology equipment that the Striker can no longer manufacture?
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Are they going to bring this harmony to the globe
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: and taking over the operation?
• 54:06
  Speaker 4: Dave Quest, Yes, I understand, I doubt it, But what
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: they could potentially do is start to then hack the
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: equipment with the information that they have. But here here's
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: my real concern about this. Brian So, a wiper attack
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: is essentially a type of malware similar to ransomware. The
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: difference is, you know, if I hit you with ransomware,
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: I want you to pay a ransom to decrypt your data. Right.
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: I encrypt your data, scrambles it up, renders the devices
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: where that data exists unusable, and you pay me a ransom.
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: I theoretically decrypt the data. Everything goes back to normal.
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: And then if I say, as the victim of it,
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: I said well, I'm not going to pay, then they say,
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: well that's fine. Typically they have also exfiltrated stolen your data,
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: and you know they'll use that as leverage, say well,
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: we'll start to expose this so called fifty terabytes the
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: data they claim they have stolen to the world unless
• 54:57
  Speaker 4: you pay us. A wiper is different though, a wiper
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: is not designed to get a ransom A wiper is
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: not designed to be able to recover from. It's specifically
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: designed to just destroy the data on whatever devices it
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: hits so that they're down and you can't use them.
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: This has happened before, you may recall, I think it
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: was twenty fifteen. A Ukrainian company that made software was
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: hit with something like this, which then went out to
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: their customers and knocked hundreds of thousands of devices from
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: huge companies like MAYERSK offline. So this isn't the first
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: time something like this has happened, but it's the first
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: time I can tell you I'm aware of anything of
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: this significance in the US, not only because now think
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: about this, Brian, think about this, if they really knocked
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: out two hundred thousand devices, And Striker has commented on this,
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: but it's been kind of vague. Even if I had
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: systems in place, so I had resiliency and business continuity
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: and could recover these two hundred thousand devices quickly, even
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: if it took ten minutes per device. What's ten minutes
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: times two hundred thousand think of the downtime here?
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Holy when you put it in those terms.
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: Yes, well, this is the thing that people are often
• 56:05
  Speaker 4: not thinking about. So you know, part of cybersecurity is
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: how do I hearden my systems and reduce the likelihood
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: that something like this will happen?
• 56:12
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: And then secondarily, if something happens doesn't have to be
• 56:16
  Speaker 4: a cyber attack, could be natural disaster, could be equipment failure.
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: How do I have an environment and systems in it
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: that are resilient and can recover quickly with minimal downtime.
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: You know, again, I only know what I read about this, Brian.
• 56:29
  Speaker 4: But think about this again. Ten minutes at two hundred thousand,
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: and I can tell you it will take more than
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: ten minutes. I'm just speculating here. I don't know if
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: this company can survive right now, you know, and that
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: fifty three thousand jobs, twenty two billion dollar company. But
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: here's the really scary part. That's all terrible, absolutely terrible.
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: But these medical devices are everywhere. I can tell you
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: when I put my Mayre's hat on, we have a
• 56:54
  Speaker 4: bunch of their equipment in our fire department and our ambulances.
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: My wife works one of the largest hospital systems in
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: the country. She knew about this right away, and she
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: even mentioned it to me the other day that this
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: had happened. It impacted. I mean, they have relationships established
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: with all these hospital systems, and so there may be
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: a ripple effect there.
• 57:11
  Speaker 4: Yes, I mean, okay, if they don't survive when those
• 57:14
  Speaker 4: devices start to go bad, what happens? Could the devices
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: could summer all of the devices they make that are
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: Internet connected be hacked as a result of this information
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: they now have who knows. I mean, this is where
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: people do not think about the downstream consequences of not
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: having the right security in place, and frankly of equal
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: maybe more importance when you see these kind of things
• 57:36
  Speaker 4: having systems in place for resiliency and quick recovery.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: Interest I dot Com a plug right there for that
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: one pause will bring him back and talk about more issues.
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: Foreign exchange, your premier European and Asian imported automotive specialist.
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: You talk station.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: If you have CAC the talk station Brian Thomas with
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: Interest i T dot COM's Dave had Or business Curier
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: says interest I T is the best in the business
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: when it comes to things like we were talking about
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: in the last hour, trying to avoid your you avoid
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: the risk of being hacked. Dave pivoting over local person
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: talk about imposter scams. You got one every week? What
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: happened here?
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, these scams are super prevalent, Brian. I know people
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: that have been victims of them personally, and as you
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: and I have discussed so many times, and I think
• 58:23
  Speaker 4: you might have mentioned this yesterday you had another breach
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: of a billion records. Your data is everywhere now, everywhere, everywhere,
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: And I would bet you there's not a single person
• 58:35
  Speaker 4: listening to us ever that hasn't gotten at least one
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: notice of some sort of data.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: Breach, even if they're alluded at it. That's because public information,
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: like auditor records, public information. It's out there for all
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: to see. So even if you're hiding in a closet,
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: you're still going to have your information hacked. You have
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: an address, yes, I mean.
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: You're exactly right, Brian. I mean, the more apps you use,
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: the more Internet of Things devices you have, the more
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: your data is going to be out there. But even
• 58:59
  Speaker 4: if you don't do any of that stuff, I mean
• 59:01
  Speaker 4: you're using credit cards, people are buying and selling your data.
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: And the reason why that's important is all of that
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: data gets in the hands of bad guys. They buy
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: it off the dark web and such. Again, we see
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: stories regularly about oh, here's someone found a database with
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: a big and social security numbers or whatever. All that
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: data in the hands of these bad guys helps them
• 59:21
  Speaker 4: refine their scams, It helps them target you, It helps
• 59:24
  Speaker 4: them figure out what to say to you if and
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: when they talk to you on the phone. It helps
• 59:28
  Speaker 4: them guide those conversations so they seem like the legitimate
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: agency that claims you have some kind of problem, right,
• 59:36
  Speaker 4: So they'll fish you via text, via email, sometimes they'll
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: call you. Sometimes a combination of all these things. They're
• 59:42
  Speaker 4: using this information to create messages that are much more
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: realistic than the standard. Hey, I'm in Nigerian Prince. I
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: want to transfer eight million dollars to your bank account.
• 59:52
  Speaker 4: And that's what you see here in this story price
• 59:55
  Speaker 4: woman rather loses five thousand dollars in bank imposter scam.
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: And I think it's I have so much respect for
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 4: people who come forward and tell these stories. Yes, because
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 4: I know it's embarrassing. I know it's hurtful to them.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 4: You know, who has a spare five grand they want
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: to lose. But rather than listen to someone like me
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 4: speculate on this, orn't about this, when these real people
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: come forward and tell these stories, at least I believe
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 4: it puts a fine point on this stuff is real.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 4: It's not just even Da've had her making stuff up.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 4: This is happening every.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: Day well, and even more so, she works in banking
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: and she knows how financial systems work. That's what the
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: reporting shows. So this isn't some novice out there. This
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: is someone who has at least some understanding of the
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: banking system.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. And so she lost five thousand dollars.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 4: She claims that, you know, she got a call. They
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 4: said there was some kind of fraud on her account.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: The number appeared to come from her bank, and they said.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 4: There's one part again, I only know what the reporting says.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: One part that says that the callers, the hackers, the
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 4: bad actors, were prepared. They knew her recent transactions. They
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: knew she had just ordered a new debit card. They
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: had a detailed personal account information that made them sound
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 4: completely legitimate.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: That's scary.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 4: Exactly exactly how they would know her recent transactions, that
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 4: she just ordered a debit card, I don't know. But
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: the detailed personal account information, again, that stuff is everywhere
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 4: out there now. So just because you get a call,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 4: it's easy to spoof a phone number. Anyone right now
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 4: can go do a search and find a website that
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 4: will let them send a text or make a phone
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 4: call from any number they want. It is trivially easy.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 4: You cannot look at a phone number on your phone
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: and know whether it's a legitimate number again, be a
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 4: text or phone. So you know, they call her, so
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 4: they got guts, they call her. They're con artists. They're
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 4: going to talk to her on the phone. They have
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 4: this information that makes them seem legitimate, and they claim
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 4: frauds and activity in Dallas. She needs to open up
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 4: a new account and transfer her money over now again, Brian,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 4: the bank can just turn your account right, No, right?
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: I mean you should not transfer your money. You should
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 4: You should not go buy venmo or put it in Venmo,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: buy gift cards, put it in an ATM and another bank.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: I know someone that had something similar to this happened.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 4: But unfortunately she did it, and you know, this article says,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 4: Okay didn't even know what happened. She took every you know,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 4: call their real customer service line, by a police report,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 4: contact a better business view, freeze your credit, you know,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 4: escalate with the bank, contact the FBI. Now, let's be real,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 4: the FBI is not going to have the resources to
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 4: get engaged with a five thousand dollars individual theft. But
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: it's not a bad idea to report that, at least
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 4: to the Internet Crime Complaints Center IC three dot gov,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 4: which the the FBI runs. But I mean, here's here's
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 4: the bottom line, and they say it in the article.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 4: If you get something like this, hang up immediately. Do
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 4: not talk to these people. They're con artists. They'll tell
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 4: you whatever lies they need to hang up. Get at
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: your debit card or credit card, call that number, use
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 4: the app you normally use. You know, you need to
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 4: verify this. Yeah, go to a local bank branch if
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: there is one. Don't click the links, don't don't use
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: any of the information they gave you. Hang up and
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 4: use information that you already have, and you know, reach
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: out to your bank and say, hey, I got this call.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't engage in a knee jerk reaction. Stop hanging up,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: give it some thought, thinking maybe this is a scam.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: It's not going to unring the bell of whatever they
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: claim to be warning you about.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: So you do have some time.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: The damage has already been done, according to them, so
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: go to the bank and find out for sure. Dave
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: yes at a time. In the segment let's bring you back,
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about Meta getting sued over the wonderfully gorgeous
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: looking privacy intrust dot Com sponsors the tech Frida with
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: Dave Hatter segment. Dave Hatter, it's his company and know
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: the best in the business, So get yourself out of
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: a jam, or prevent jams by calling them up. And
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: then we pivot over Dave Hatter. Meta's getting sued over
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: the new AI smart glasses and I'm looking at a
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: photograph of them, and honestly, you can tell when someone
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: has them on based upon the awesome fashion statement they present.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: But I would not feel comfortable talking with anyone with
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: these things on.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm sure it doesn't come as a shock to you.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 4: I'm in the same boat as you. You know, I'm
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: not a big fan of the Internet of Things aka
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: smart devices, and as we see miniaturization of this technology
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: and the ability to add cameras and microphones to everything,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: you know, you see things like the Meta smart classes here. Now,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 4: as a reminder, this is not new. A few years ago,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 4: Google tried this. They had something called Google Glass, which
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 4: coined the awesome term for people wearing these things glassholes
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 4: quote unquote. They didn't really catch on. Yeah, they didn't
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 4: really catch on. So now Meta's back. They're apparently in
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 4: partnership with Luxotica for their ray band brand and Yeah,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 4: there's plenty of pictures out there of Mark Zuckerberg wearing
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 4: these things. You can see there's a little light on
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 4: that shows you what it's active in recording. But from
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: what I have read, disabled the light. I know you're
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 4: going there and you know so. Here's one article from
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 4: tech Crunch metas suit over AI smart classes privacy concerns
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 4: after workers reviewed nudity, sex and other footage now again
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 4: allegedly in this lawsuit. This is what this article says.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 4: It goes on to say in the article, Meta is
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 4: facing a new class action lawsuit or it's ur smart
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: classes and their lack of privacy after investigation by Swedish
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 4: newspapers find them that workers at a Kenya based subcontractor
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 4: are reviewing footage from customers classes which included sensitive content
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 4: like nudity, people having sex and using the.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: Toilet medically, don't have with someone wearing smart classes, yes.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 4: Or don't go to the toilet while your smart classes
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: are on, or maybe perhaps just don't have smart classes
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 4: or be around people with smart classes, and then at
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 4: least you will have one less orwelly and spy mechanism
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: tracking your every move, listening to your conversations, et cetera.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 4: Now it goes on to say in here, the complaint
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 4: alleges that meta AI smart classes are advertising using prompt
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 4: us is like quote designed for privacy, controlled by you
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 4: unquote end quote built for your privacy unquote, which might
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 4: not lead them, might not lead customers to assume their
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 4: glasses footage, including inimate moments, was being watched by workers overseas.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 4: You know, they claim that this is being done for
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 4: quality purposes. Same thing all these companies say about the
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: data that they collect and upload, and you know, again,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 4: in many cases, I'm assuming some of this more sensitive
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: footage isn't because someone is purposely violating someone else's privacy.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 4: It's because they don't really understand how these things work.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 4: They don't understand when they're on, they forget that they're on,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 4: they set them down in an inconvenient spot. But ultimately
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 4: that data gets uploaded to servers where someone you know
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: is theoretically reviewing this for quality purposes.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: It's like it's like the room back with the camera
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: in it. This is the same thing, except Lord Almighty,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: the implications that are far broader. With the glasses, they
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: go with the ever wherever you have them on, unlike
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: a room, but which is at least going to be
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: you know, stuck in your living room or house exactly.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 4: And so also reading from the article here, and twenty
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 4: twenty five seven million people bought Meta smart glasses. The
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 4: footage from those glasses is fed into a data pipeline
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 4: for a review, and users can't opt out. So and
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 4: I know we'll we're out of time, but yeah, the
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 4: ruma at least is confined to your house. You could
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: be sitting in a restaurant next to someone that's essentially
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: recording your conversation without your knowledge. Yeah, and I just
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 4: want to point out, let's go back to the nest
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 4: thing in the gut Thrie situation. She didn't have a subscription,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 4: They said we can't retrieve this data, and then magically,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 4: ten days later the data shows up. So if you
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 4: think this stuff is going into their servers and is
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: somehow eventually being deleted, or isn't potentially being sold to
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: someone else who knows, so, yeah, there is literally no
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 4: chance I would use these things. There is no chance
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 4: I would be around someone that had these on.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: This is just more of it.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 4: Just illustrates once again, how as we make everything smart
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 4: quote unquote put software and everything. There are all these
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 4: unintended consequences and risks to everyday people that they typically
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: don't understand. So again, all of this is alleged. That's
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 4: in a lawsuit. Go out, read these articles, see the pictures.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm not a fan, and I would encourage
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 4: people not to buy this stuff and to try to
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 4: avoid being around it as much as possible. Yeah, the
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 4: Internet everything, I'm not a fan. Yes, that's a good
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 4: stopping player.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: Take a pass on Internet of Things devices. Seven oh
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: six on a Friday, and a very happy Friday, it is.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: It's always happy in my world with a Friday, but
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: it's even better coming off with tech Friday day of Hotiday.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: Have private citizen former Congressman and retired Colonel Brad Winsterpin Studio. Brad,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: my friend. It's always great to see you, brother, pleasure to.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 4: Be with you.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 6: And I will say, Brian, you're looking well well, thank you.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 6: I know you've got some treatment ahead, yeah, but you're
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 6: looking good.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: Thanks positive. Just sticking to that diet routine. It's really
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: been beneficial for my health generally speaking. And I don't
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: even I literally don't even think about the cancer, except
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: when you got to go and get a cancer treatment.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: But everybody's been so kind and all the well wishes
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: are truly appreciated. But again I always like to say,
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: you got a limited number of prayers and well wishes
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: and thoughts out there, direct them to someone who is
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: more worthy and in need. Because I feel fine, and
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: although I will be out Monday and Tuesday because I
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: have this ripple effect from the chemo, makes me kind
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: of space CADETI. You know, it's no big deal, this
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: too shall pass. Just playing the hand that I was
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: dealt and going along with my life like nothing else
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: is wrong. So but it's kind of you to share
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: your thoughts and concerns as it is with everyone, and
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: speaking of thoughts of concern as we were talking about.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: And of course we'll start with the situation, the war
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: as I'm going to label it. And in despite this
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: semantical debate we seem to be having, we have launch
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: actions against Iran, stating the obvious. Iran seems to be
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: in a position of having one singular strategy and one
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: singular threat, and that is the closure of the strait
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: of horror moves. And it's something that they have had
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: in their back pocket now since it took over fundamentals.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: I was amazed yesterday, first off, shocked in Iran's strategy
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: of starting to shoot weapons into their surrounding neighbors country
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: as opposed to just focusing on Israel. That was kind
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: of weird. It sort of backfired on them right out
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: of the gate, with the leaders of those various countries
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: stepping up going wha, whoa, whoa, whoa. And then you
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: have the resolution yet the other day from the UN
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: which is profound, one hundred and thirty five co sponsors
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: of this condemnation of Iran for its strikes on the
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: Gulf region, with China and Russia abstaining, notwithstanding in fact
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: they have the veto power. It was unanimous. The world
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: is finally seeing a potential end the Iranians, which will
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: benefit everybody that one country controls in essence the straight
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: of hormones and the traffic it flows through it. If
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: you get rid of that one country, you've got lower
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: price of fuel and stability, right, And it's so huge.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 6: And look look that control and the abuses with fossil
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 6: fuels and their oil capabilities and all those things that
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 6: has been their nuclear weapon for a long time, yep.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 6: And they want a nuclear weapon and that was for
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 6: the effort of killing. So it's all about control and killing.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 6: They are about killing, Let's get that straight. That's what
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 6: they have been doing. And this has been going on.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 6: You know what are we on day fourteen roughly? Yeah, okay,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 6: they're on your forty seven going on forty eight, and
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 6: that's a fact. And so we're finally doing something. And
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 6: the Strait of Hormuz is important. But you mentioned the
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 6: firing on the other people in their neighborhood, right, I mean,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 6: I don't think they ever heard of Dale Carnegie.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: But winning friends and influencing.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 6: People, I mean, this is unbelievably stupid, stupid in the
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 6: course of history. Let's put it that way, because that
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 6: may have some effect that they think is going to
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 6: be helpful to them in a while.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: They're like everyone getting together at the same location and
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: meeting right when the bombs are dropping. They didn't think
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: about a zoom conference. These are clearly idiots. I'm just
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: going to say it out loud like that. I don't
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: get Oh, it's unbelievable.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 6: Well, fortunately we have good intel on that time, mat too,
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 6: and from what I understand was human intelligence, which is
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 6: even more amazing that it came from within somebody on
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 6: the end of the Israel. The Israelis are obviously very
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 6: good at this, and let's face it, we have been
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 6: very strategic, I would say. You know, as you heard
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 6: the administration saying from the beginning, this is going to
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 6: be six weeks or so. So they weren't saying from
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 6: the get go. They were saying, this is going to
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 6: take a while, and there will be casualties. And I
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 6: appreciate that upfront ness, and maybe it'll take longer. But
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 6: you're seeing really like UAE doing a pretty good job
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 6: of defending themselves. And so you know, the neighbors that
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 6: one time weren't necessarily our friends. Everyone's coming together and
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 6: that UN resolution is the same. And you talk about
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 6: China and Rush and we were talking about this offline beforehand.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 6: They don't want Iran to have nuclear weapons.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: I know, why would they? Yeah, why would they? Well,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: they're depending a lot on the Iranian oil too. You know,
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: it's not in China's interest that flow being stopped through
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormuz. But they still wanted to be
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: the big brother to Iran. So of course you'd say,
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: you know, you look at it. We were always saying
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: there's the Big Four, right, you know, North Korea, Ran, China,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: and Russia. Well they're not Russian to their aid at all.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 5: No.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's like having a friendship with Epstein
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: before he got busted from being a pedophi. Apparently it
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: was a pretty good thing. You got to hang out
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: with this rich guy and go to rich places and
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: experience lap of luxury, and then all of a sudden
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: you find out, well, he's a moluster of children, so
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: you stay away from them. Well maybe they were hanging
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: out with Iran up to this time because it was
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: in their best interests globally, strategically or whatever, and then
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: they find out maybe not. I'm going to take a
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: pass on this one.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we got to deal with a lot of these
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 6: neighbors ourselves, and that you are now firing on point
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 6: trading partners all, well, it sounds me like they've set
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 6: themselves up for even more entries into the Abraham Accords.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 6: You just took the words out of my mouth, because
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 6: if you look at the Abraham Accords, you know that again,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 6: through the course of history, that is phenomenal.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: I know, no one, no one gives.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 6: Trump credit for that awesome, awesome accomplishment totally. I mean,
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 6: you're talking about areas of the world where they have
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 6: been fighting for thousands of years. Yes, and they're willing
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 6: to bring some logic to what they are doing and saying, well,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 6: why don't we just be a little more economically sound
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 6: and reasonable and work with our neighbors and maybe we
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 6: can all live in peace and and thrive and absolutely thrive.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: And hey, rebuild Gaza, you know. I mean, it's the
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: next seaside resort potentially, and a more terrorists stability. We
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: can trade together, we can go across each other's borders,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: we can enjoy each other's comfort and safety. And wow,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: we'll just put aside the you hatred and for our
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: own best entry. Yeah, I mean, you are not going
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: to wipe out Jews from the face of the earth. Sorry,
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: Hitler tried it. It's not going to work, and it's
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: a bad idea, and it's a stupid idea. These are
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: peace loving people. Why do we want to do that? Now?
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 6: We've got war loving people, death loving people to others, well,
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 6: not even others, They kill their own people willingly they do.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 6: This is a cancer on the globe. And you know,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 6: if we can show that we can make this difference,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 6: as painful as it may be for a while. Wars
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 6: are painful, there's no doubt about it. But what's the
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 6: net result of this?
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: That's right?
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 6: And you know, when I was in Iraq, I found
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 6: this Wartime Prayer book by Bishop Fulton Sheen, who in
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 6: the fifties was well probably the first TV evangelical, I guess,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 6: you'd say. But one of the things that he had
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 6: in there that really brought some solace to me, he said,
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 6: I didn't come to this war to leave the world
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 6: the way it was. I came to this world to
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 6: rid the world of tyrants and dictators.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: That is a profound point, right So, and you know,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: and I mentioned it to a caller early in the program,
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: I think that somehow I've changed gears on the legality component.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: There's the law and an open debate on whether this
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: action was justified and constitutional. That is not a discussion
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: of the potential benefits or even downsides of the war.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: And it looks like I'm going back to this un resolution.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: This action has finally given everyone in the world an
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: opportunity to do exactly what that preacher said to make
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: the world a better place.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 6: And you know, Brian, if this action had taken place
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 6: under Joe Biden, I would I know it's it would
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 6: belauding it unreal. Would I would be a bit backing it.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 6: I would say yes because my personal experience, you know,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 6: I'd say, go back forty seven years, nineteen seventy nine,
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 6: nineteen seventy nine. You know, we get hostages taken and
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 6: Jimmy Carter's the president, but if you can get them
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 6: out of there, I'm going to be for it. Unfortunately,
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 6: that failed and it took really I think ron O'reagan
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 6: coming into office that.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: Got them out. There're the but Jesus out of them,
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: didn't it?
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 6: It did, and it was day one. Man here here
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 6: they come home. But you know, I was thinking the
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 6: other day of the Jimmy Buffett song that came out
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 6: right at the same time, and then his song Volcano.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 6: He says, don't want to land on no ayatola, and
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 6: I'm like, what's an ayatola? And so since nineteen seventy nine,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 6: I've been well aware of what an iatola is.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: Well, the a new one says he's going to use
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: the horror news closure as a weapon and as leverage.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: So he's going to stick by this, assuming the cardboard
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: cutout is still with us. That was the position that
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: came out from Lebron just yesterday. So yeah, if that's
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: the strategy, then well it's glad to have the rest
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: of the world on our side for a change. We'll
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: continue with citizen former congres some Brad Weinster beIN studio
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: after I mentioned Jimmy car fireplace in Stowe. Yes, they
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: do it. Seventy fifty five KRCD Talk Station Brian Thomas
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: with citizen and former Congressman former retire he's retired lieutenant
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: or retired colonel, Brad Weinster. He's in studio and HAPs
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: to be a good friend of mine and I just
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: love talking to Brad and he's got provide some wonderful insight.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: Let us pivot over briefly if we may. And it's
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: funny because I had fraud written down on my list
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: of things that bring by you and you said, just
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: a moment before the mic went on, what a gift
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: this war has been to Governor Tim Waltson Minnesota, who
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: is not running for reelection because of the rampant fraud
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: that apparently he knew all about for years going on
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota, stealing stealing our tax pair dollars collectively billions
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: and billions and billions of dollars through just a handful
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: of federal programs, of being exploited by It was win
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: in the Somali community. No, it's not racist to me
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: to say that these are criminals. Within any broader set
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: of people and humanity, there is a sub that we
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: can be critical of without being called a racist. These
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: were people that were within the Somali community that figured
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: out how easy it was to rip us all off,
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: and they did on a massive, massive scale.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I would think that there was a component
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 6: of recognizing a certain voting block and so if you
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 6: turn your head, you can you can keep those votes
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 6: coming for you.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: You went up with an ilon Omar.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, you mentioned I remember something happened downtown
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 6: years ago, probably thirty years ago, and I had a
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 6: practice downtown and there was a guy, apparently a black man,
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 6: was robbing a white man outside of like RB's or
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 6: something downtown, and a black man came to the aid
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 6: of the white guy who was being beaten and the
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 6: black guy, the one who was doing the attacking, said, hey, brother,
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 6: what are you doing?
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: And he goes, he goes, You're not my brother, You're
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: a criminal. There you are, thank you, right, illustrating my
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: point with the real lifetime.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 6: Obviously not racist.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: No, it's not racist to go after people who are
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: committing crimes exactly white people, black people, Asian people, doesn't matter.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: Stating the obvious. Okay, so we've got massive fraud. Obviously
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: there needs to be a crackdown. Pivoting over in My
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: favorite point to make is in this huge country of ours,
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: that's one city, and pivot over to what they're just
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: finding now out in Los Angeles County with regard to
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: the hospice care, the number of hospice organizations ballooned eighteen
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: hundred percent in a matter of a few years. And
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: of course bit a vehicle for fraud, waste, and abuse. Okay,
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: one program in one city. This has got to be
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: going on all over the place, depending on how closely
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: are the alleged overseers are supposed to be paying attention
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: to this stuff.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I believe that these workarounds, if you will have
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 6: ways to milk the system develop because they just do it.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 6: There's an opportunity and people take it and it's unfortunate
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 6: and they get away with it for a long time.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 6: And that's one of the biggest concerns that we had
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 6: when it comes to fraud. And there is a component
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 6: of the government. This goes back to the Biden administration too,
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 6: where they are saying we are finally finally finding ways
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 6: to detect this fraud and get to it sooner. Yeah,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 6: and they met with the doctor's caucus. But see here's
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 6: where we want to even.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: Share records to help us get to the root of
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: the fraud.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 6: Well, certain components of the government are and will I
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 6: will tell you most of this though that we're discovering
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 6: is not happening with the doctor in his practice. They're
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 6: not the ones committing medicaid fraud usually. I'm not saying
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 6: it doesn't happen, because it does.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they had one doctor that was present at forty
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: five locations on one day. Well yeah, no, he wasn't
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: building the system. That's doctor Wenstro.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 5: But that was.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 6: Believe believe me, you take Medicaid and you do it right,
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 6: you're doing it out of the goodness of your heart.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: But see the artificial intelligence can find all of that.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: We were doing that back in Anthem when I was
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: there twenty years ago with the Stars program. They in
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: fact discovered one doctor build for the exact same service
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: at eight or ten locations in the state of ohioan
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: one day, and there's no way you could get to there.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: This is something that's old school, we don't even bother
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: and those things should rise to the surface quickly. It
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: should be easy to detect. But what I was going
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: to say, Brian, is a lot of this comes in
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: when there's like Medicaid approval for devices or like you said, hospice, right,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: that's where a lot of the money goes out. It's
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: not necessarily in the care that a doctor gives, it's
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: associated with the care, and that's where a lot of
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: the abuse comes in. At least that's what they were
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: telling us. They reached out to meet with the doctor's Caucus.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: They wanted to show that there was a component of
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: the government that's looking within this and trying to make
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: it better for the future. And I hope that we
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: get that at this time in our history.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 6: Because it's huge waste of the taxpayer dollars, and it's
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 6: just so damaging to medicine in general, especially to those
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 6: that are trying to do the right thing.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: Amen to that, we'll continue with former Congressman Brad Weinstrup
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: after a word for in perfect timing on this twenty
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: two to three on Route forty seven twenty nine. If
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: think about kaarse City Talk Station Brian Thomas with former
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: Congressman retired colonel doctor defending the doctors of that last segment,
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: I caught that Weinstrup, Brad Weinster b Been Studio and
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: source speak. The doctor thing is critically important because, of course,
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: one of the problems we've got in America is the
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: out insane cost of medicine. Wasn't Obamacare supposed to it
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: to solve this problem, but look, the premiums have gone
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: through the roof. The out of pocket responsibility is ten thousand,
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: five hundred dollars. I don't know how you even call
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: that insurance, but that's a real problem. Donald Trump stepped
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: up and suggested this most Favored Nation status with pharmaceuticals,
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: meaning we pay the price the lowest price that any
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: pharmaceutical company is paying to the other countries in the world,
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: which sounds logical and reasonable. Although protectionist, it is not
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: traditionally some thing Republicans do, like price man dating. But
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: of course it could offer a solution for us, and
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: there was a limited number of pharmaceuticals on the list
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: that are qualified for this. It seems a step in
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: the right direction to bring some relief to American people
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: in so far as pharmaceuticals. What about the broader implications
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: we have here.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, you know, going to the you know what
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 6: other countries pay. Here's my take on it, Brian, is
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 6: it's an exploitation of the American people that they've gotten
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 6: away with in many ways.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: Well, it's an evil form of wealth redistribution. We pay
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: for everything, for all the research and development and everything
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: with the high cost we pay, which the pharmaceutical companies
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: then give to the rest of the world in the
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: form of far lower prices than we pay.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and to me, that's a problem because what it
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 6: shows me, and if you're in those countries, what it
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 6: says is they are not willing to pay more for
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 6: life saving drugs for their people unless they pay less
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 6: than the American people do.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: It's sort of like NATO countries not having militaries because
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: we are providing the service to them. Hmmm, you know
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: that's an here. Yeah, that's a good analogy, Brian.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 6: I think it really is is well, let the American
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 6: people pay for it, because you know, when we are
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 6: paying for funding NATO basically more so than the others.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: That's the American people. But it doesn't give us a
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: reciprocal benefit. We've got a mutual defense agreement with a
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: bunch of countries that can't defend themselves. How good is
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: it to be in that agreement?
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 4: What?
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 6: I think that we see this administration trying to change that.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 6: And I also hope that through what's going on right
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 6: now today and this willingness for Iran, So it's not
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 6: just Russia to be concerned about, it's it's I ran,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 6: the willingness of Iran to be able to attack their
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 6: neighbors and do all these things. Maybe we should be
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 6: able to defend ourselves a little bit better. The world
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 6: is more dangerous than a lot of people assumed, and
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 6: they assumed that they could rely on the American people.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 6: But going back to the pharmaceuticals, if we can't, Wow,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 6: that was a secuitous route, Yeah it was, but you know,
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 6: you made a good analogy there. In my mind, we
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 6: have a problem. It's a national security problem. I mean,
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 6: we rely on China.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 5: There.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 6: You have it for the IPAs, the ingredients that go
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 6: into the drugs, the pharmaceutical ingredients, and the Chinese they
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 6: control that. And we have the capability here to make
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 6: the ksms, the key starting materials, and this is where
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 6: we're going as a nation, that we make them here.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 6: Those are the starting materials to make the pharmaceutical ingredients
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 6: that we need for our.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: Drugs, so we can make our own fentanyl precursors.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 6: Well, China is doing a good job with that. We
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 6: don't have to worry about that. They covered death.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: That's the point. Though. Precursors are the key components through
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: the larger fully manufactured pharmaceutical We should be making all
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: of that so we can have a supply of our
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: own pharmaceuticals. If for no other reason, then our American
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: military depends upon China for pharmaceuticals.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, as I've said, I've said it on here many times.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 6: If you'd have told me i was in Iraq that
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 6: we got to the point that our military relied on
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 6: China for the drugs we use on the battlefield. How
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 6: did we let ourselves get here? But that's the situation
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 6: we're in, and this administration is trying to, you know,
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 6: bring that back. So let's get domestic. Let's have these
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 6: capabilities to synthetically make the materials that we need, not
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 6: rely on China. Because that's another thing. When when President
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 6: Trump goes to talk to President She about trade, President
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 6: she knows, he goes, hey, mister President, you can't make
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 6: your own drugs. They're made here, right And not only that,
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 6: there's the danger of sabotage and everything else that China
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 6: can put into our drugs because they're made there. The
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 6: FDA is not over there each and every day making
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 6: sure that these things are done right now.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: No, you might want to think about that when you're
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: buying your imported seafood as well, farm raise or not
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: there studying and seeing if it's clean. We don't have
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: a permanent presence there at food manufacturing facilities or in
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: the pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, which of course are far more
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: important than the food. We have choices when it comes
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: to food. We don't have choices when it comes to
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: pharmaceuticals and their origin.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and the President was at Thermo Fisher here and
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 6: since the other day that's in the vein that we
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 6: are talking about what can we do on the domestic
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 6: front to do more to bring this stuff home. And
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 6: you know what, let's continue to be the country that
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 6: is the innovator of treatments and cures. You know, I
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 6: think one of the one of the most amazing ones
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 6: in recent history is a cure for hepatitis C. Yeah,
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 6: you know, and in Washington, when you the immediate response
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 6: is what's that going to cost? Well, if it costs
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 6: twenty five thousand dollars, I understand that's an expense. But
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 6: do you know what a liver transplant costs? Do you
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 6: know what repeated hospitalizations and missing work is for the
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 6: American economy? When people with hepatitis CE become ill, it's
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 6: a problem.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: Well, and now we have cure. Well, they don't see
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: a word about costs when it comes to fentanyl over
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: these is, they just talk about the human carnage and
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: hundreds of one hundred thousand people died. Oh my god,
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. Let's throw all the resources in the
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: world to the front lines on that and hand out
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: needles and issue free narke and they don't care about
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: the expense of that. We have people dying a drug
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: over this is something that is obviously preventable. Don't take drugs, correct, right, yeah, solution.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 6: Look, I'm in a situation right now with my kids.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 6: It's like you don't take candy from somebody else, you
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 6: don't take anything. You don't take pills from somebody else.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 6: I mean, no one's offering them pills at their age, fortunately,
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 6: or you know, as far as I know, right, But
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 6: they get it. And I've told my son and you know, all.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: You got to do is visit a morgue. Really, that
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: may be a good family we can visit. Well, you
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: know this that's like scared straight.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 6: You know, this is something that doctor Odell Owens may
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 6: rest in peace. When he went brand for Corner, that's
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 6: what he was telling me.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: He wanted to do.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 6: This is why I supported him. He said, I'm going
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 6: to bring high school kids into Morgue. I want them
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 6: to see it. And you know it's also the gang warfare,
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 6: but the drugs. This is where you'll end up.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: You know, that's the second stop after you take them
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: through the Justice Center. From the Justice Center over to
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: the Morgue.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: From fifty five care and see the talk station.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: Seven forty fifty five KRCD talk station A very happy
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: Friday to former Congressman retired colonel doctor and speaking of
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: Catholic friends, I mentioned Kate of having a congress a
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: former Congressman brad Winsterbin studio for a full hour here,
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: really enjoying our conversation. And of course that triggered a
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: comment from you when I mentioned Kate of having cemetery.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mentioned that my wife and I have our
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 6: plots out there already, and they have a beautiful section
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 6: for veterans, and that's that's what spurred us on. I
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 6: gave a talk out there on Vietnam veterans, and it
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 6: was held there at this beautiful site with all the
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 6: military reverence present, and I was like, well, since my
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 6: parents and grandparents and everybody else have their place out here,
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 6: why don't we go ahead and get that taken care
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 6: of now?
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: I just wrote, so we know it's frigate of heaven.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: Of course, since I speak on their behalf and I'm
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: happy to do it. I just wrote down they have
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: an area dedicated for veterans on my notes, so I'm
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: gonna be sure and bring that up every time I
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: mentioned them in a spot.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's really it's really a beautiful spot. So as
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 6: please please to do that.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 4: But you know.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 6: You mentioned prayer during that commercial.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Catholic and prayer. We had a pope make
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: a request in connection with the war, Yeah, that it
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: should engage in dialogue.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 6: Our new American pope you know, said, you know, it
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 6: should be done through dialogue.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: That is the way.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 6: Well, that is a way, and that is certainly a
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 6: way that has been tried and we've been at this
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 6: for forty some years. So maybe the dialogue needs to
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 6: be more with God, because I can tell you that's
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 6: one of the things that my family is doing is
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 6: we are praying for our troops, we are praying for
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 6: our country, and we're really praying for the world that
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 6: we can eliminate this evil that has been here for
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 6: so long.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: This goes back so deadly, Bishop that you mentioned earlier
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: in the Prayer book from the nineteen fifties. You want
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: to leave the world a better place as a consequence
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: of the war. That's that's the idea of war.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 6: And you know, we we were then talking offline about
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 6: how we were able to take out the leadership over
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 6: in Iran so easily. Well, we were using dialogue. We
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 6: were using dialogue with them, which was going nowhere.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: Right, And don't forget we also used bribes. Barack Obama
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: shipped them over billions of dollars in cash.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 5: Cash.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 6: You know, we've been doing this too long. You took
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 6: the words out of my mouth again, you know, No,
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 6: that's fine.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: I remember the palet. I mean, if not a wire transfer,
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: not going to a bank, which had been simple, they
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: delivered palettes of cash.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 6: Yes, and that was their form of dialogue also with cash.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 6: And I really think that over time, especially in that situation,
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 6: I think this was as a president that was hoping
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 6: that any type of problem, them getting nuclear whatever, They
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 6: were even saying, we're just trying, we're just putting it
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 6: off for a while. What are you putting it off
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 6: until your term is done to make somebody else's problem?
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 6: And today I think that this the Trump administration. Donald
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 6: Trump is saying, I don't want this to be the
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 6: next president's problem. This is now going to be something
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 6: that we want to we want to settle. But you know,
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 6: we took out, we took out their leadership with the dialogue.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 6: We were trying. We we've feigned that we were continuing.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: Dialogue, didn't stop the nuclear development that they were still
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: engaging in in spite of the prior agreement we had
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: reached for them. Right, And because Maureen's listening, I'm gonna say,
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: maybe he was actually wanted the caliphate to be formed, Broc.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: Going back to your comment about Brock Obama as opposed
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: to just you know, let him get through his first term.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: There you go, Marine, I said it out loud.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And and certainly that may be on it. It
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 6: could have been on his mind. I don't know. There's
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 6: a lot of people on yeah, he's gone and we're
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 6: moving on. But we took out all those leaders and
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 6: one day because they thought we were still having dialogue,
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 6: and which was unbelievable that they, hey, we're going to
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 6: get together at the same place at the same time.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 6: This is a concern I always had with things like
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 6: the State of the Union address for us, for you know,
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 6: everyone knows when this is taking place, and we have
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 6: virtually our entire government there.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: In this situation.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 6: That's that seems to me to be dangerous. And how
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 6: do we have continuity of government? You know, in the Senate.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 6: In the Senate, if if a senator dies or is killed, right,
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 6: they can be replaced by the governor immediately immediately. Not
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 6: so in the House.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: You wait for the next election. So there's the gun
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: fire that you experience when they in that entirest unleashed
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: fire on all of the Republican members of Congress. If
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: they had all been eradicated, the Democrats would have had
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: full control until special elections had been held and we
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: elected replacements for the slaughtered members of the Republican Party.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: That's the creepy, crazy thing.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 6: I pointed out to the Democrats more than once, that
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 6: was an insurrection, amen, And you didn't want to call
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 6: that an insurrection.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: I had a list of targets planned ahead of time.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 6: So what this bill does. And it was a Democrat
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 6: from Washington. It came to me and said, Brad, we
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 6: should do something about this. And you mentioned the baseball field,
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 6: so did he. He said, you live through a potential
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 6: problem like this. So the idea on our bill is,
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 6: and it's still hanging out there, is that if you
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 6: get elected to Congress, you set aside five names of
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 6: people to replace you, and if you are killed or
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 6: die while you're in office, then the governor can pick
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 6: one of those people to take your place, keeping the
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 6: continuity of government in place. Plus also, if you're in
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 6: the majority, you still maintain the majority. It doesn't mean
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 6: you get to hold that seat. You only hold it
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 6: until there is a special election. And you can run
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 6: for that seat, sure, but you hold it until there
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 6: is a special election. And you know this is this
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 6: was a bipartisan idea, and I think it's a good one,
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 6: and I still think that the House needs to act
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 6: on it because that is a threat. It is, And
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 6: we dropped the bill on the day of the State
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 6: of the Union intentionally. Why we still in Congress.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: Well, I would get around that one all day long,
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: because you know, it's not difficult to envision the cold,
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: harsh reality that, yeah, a bomb could be dropped on
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: any one of the meetings where they are gathering together
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: and that would knock us back on our heels for
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: god knows how long. Simple solution too, and it's an
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: outstanding idea, bipartisanship. One more with former congress and Brad Winster. First,
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: a word for color in Happy Friday. One more here
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: with season Citizen, former Congressman Brad Winster, you got in
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: your resume all day long, but we use up the
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: rest of the time and where we're going to pivot
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: over to on our remaining moments of time.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 6: Congressman, Well, you know, I'm feeling pretty patriotic this morning.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 6: You know, as a member of the military form a
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 6: member retired, still engage in a lot of ways through
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 6: my role on the Advisory Board Intelligence Advisory Board. I
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 6: just I'm so proud of our military and the things
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 6: that they've been carrying out in this last year.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean, say what you want about it.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: The predicate for whatever, that Venezuela and raid was amazing,
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: totally amazing, right and zip in, zip out, like going
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: to Wisconsin exactly. Actually it might have been tougher in Wisconsin.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: That will be a reference to Stripe for those out
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: there too young to remember having seen the movie. Love
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: the movie.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 6: I always say it from that movie because my father's
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 6: German and Irish, my mom's all Italian. Line from Stripes,
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 6: we get kicked out of every decent country in the world. Anyway,
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 6: you know, I just I'm feeling pretty patriotic about the
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 6: work that's being done, and we really need to keep
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 6: our troops in mind, and I don't care what side
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 6: of the aisle you're on. If you can't do that,
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 6: then you have a problem because they're doing what they've
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 6: been asked to do, and they're doing it really with
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 6: such precision. And war is difficult, and you know, I
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 6: want to play respects to those that have lost their life,
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 6: not only in our military, but now as you're seeing
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 6: rand just launching missiles at other countries, you know people
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 6: around the world that are innocently being killed, people that
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 6: had nothing to do with this skirmish except quietly cheering
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 6: us on to try and change this evil that's existed.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 6: But when I think about our military, Brian, there's a
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 6: line that I've used in many talks and something that
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 6: I wrote when I've got a tribute to the flag.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 6: One time I said, you know, evildoers fear her and
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 6: those in need pray for her arrival. And I really
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 6: think that that's something that we are doing right now.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 6: We're addressing the evil doers in the world and those
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 6: in need have prayed for this arrival for quite some time.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: And let us remind as we started out talking about it,
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: the UN resolution passed overwhelming one hundred percent, no no votes,
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: A couple of extempsions from the obvious China and Russia,
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: who could have vetoted it. That's the world telling Iran.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: I think it's over when you, I mean, can you.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go too far my assessment of
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: that resolution, but they all correctively condemned Iran no reference
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: to Israel.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know, this should really bring focus to
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 6: the American people and people around the world about what
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 6: can be good in the world and what is evil
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 6: in the world.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: And we have our fights within.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 6: Let's keep them to policy, okay, let's not keep them
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 6: to the values that America should stand for. And you know,
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 6: and everything I say in speeches a lot, especially when
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 6: I'm talking about service, and sometimes I combine faith with service. Obviously,
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 6: I say, you know, even if you have no faith,
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 6: none of us are getting out of here alive. Why
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 6: don't you do some good things.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: While you're here. Life is heaven if you choose to
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: make it so right or it could be helped, it's
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: your of your own doing. That's my Dostoevsky quote. Always
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: to fall to you may not know what's coming after.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: Why not take the time to be a decent, beautiful, wonderful,
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: happy human being making your life heavenly while you are
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: living it.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 6: It's so much easier to go that way. I know
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 6: before I went to a rack of pre said to me,
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 6: just go with God, and I'll tell you that removed
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 6: a lot of my anxiety.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: I carried that into Congress too.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 6: I have to tell you, it's like I gotta let
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 6: some things just bounce off my shoulder and drive forward
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 6: and keep trying.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: To do the right thing. No atheist in a foxhole,
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: that's right. Maybe some agnostics, but they haven't given up
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: completely on the concept of God's Congressman, former Congressman Wednsdorp,

  Speaker 5: which we got the first upgrade since nineteen seventy nine,
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 5: statiscal management of our state, but also the underlying economics
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 5: and we get a more diverse economy. I think that
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 5: we're doing very well. There's more work to be done.
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 5: We want to create more jobs, better paying jobs. We
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 5: want to return industry to our state from overseas and
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 5: make sure that we reclaim our manufacturing base here in
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 5: the United States. But we've got a lot of energy
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 5: underneath our feet, a lot of water with lake to
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 5: the north and our river to the south, and just
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 5: an incredible workforce that can't be replicated the rest of
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 5: the United States. And I think our credit rating upgrade
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 5: reflects that.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: That certainly lowers are borrowing costs the extent we have
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: to borrow any money.
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 5: It does and you know, an amazing thing is in
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 5: some cases our credit rating is better than that of
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 5: the United States bonds.
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: Don't make me that's a softball in my neighborhood. I
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: am a deficit hawk, and we spend too much money
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: and our government's overly bloated. If I was a credit agency,
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: I would probably rank it a hell of a lot
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: lower where the US credit currently stands. But that's a
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: subject for another day. One of the key roles is
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: Secretary of State is voter integrity. And I know you
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: your campaign website for my folks in the audience want
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: to check you out. Sprague spr a Gue four f
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: o r Ohio dot com, spreage for Ohio dot com.
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: You can see where he is on the issues, but
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: specifically election integrity. Congressman Winster wanted me to thank you
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: for your efforts on voter I d here in the
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: state of Ohio. You're saying that. As he walked out,
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: I applaud them as well. Where are you? For example,
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 1: on the idea of computer ballots, A lot of my
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: listeners maybe leaning conspiracy theory, but I think they have
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of justification to be worried about that. If
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: you can't go back and check it against a paper ballot,
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: for example, you have to trust that the computer's crunching
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: the numbers right, and the manufacturers won't give you access
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: to the code. So I call that a problem.
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 5: Well, you know what we do in the financial world
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 5: is we have a dual system. So you have a
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 5: paper audit trail. That's why I want to see as
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 5: the next Secretary State, make sure that we use paper ballots.
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 5: A paper ballot that's a separate printed piece of paper
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 5: that you can see who you voted for, that you
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 5: submit as your vote, and that's actually with you. How
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 5: constitution says. It says that all elections will be by
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 5: secret ballot, and the definition of a ballot is a
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 5: piece of paper, and you'll submit that vote and then
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 5: we run it through the tabulation machine. That way, we
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 5: get the results immediately that night, just as you're used to,
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 5: and we know who one who lost and how many
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 5: votes were counted. But there's two things that happen during
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 5: that process. First of all, you create a perfect and
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 5: immutable audit trail by submitting that piece of paper, and
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 5: we can go back and we will count the paper
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 5: to make sure that the machines are accurate and that
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 5: they're telling us the truth. And The second thing is
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 5: you create an audit trail as well, by the number
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 5: of votes casts who won, who lost, that you can
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 5: go back and audit that. We'd like to actually create
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 5: and add a secondary audit as well, and believe me,
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 5: I know how to audit things, So this would be
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 5: a secondary audit for the bipartisan chain of custody for
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 5: the ballots themselves. And the great thing about that is,
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 5: you know you have the machine saying X, and you
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 5: have the paper ballots saying why. You know that you
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 5: can go back to the paper ballots at the precinct level,
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 5: recount them and make sure that the vote is accurate.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 5: That's the only way that you can ensure one hundred
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 5: percent accurate elections one hundred percent of the time.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: Is anyone opposing that conceptually, Robert Sprague?
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 5: You know, I think I don't think anybody's opposing that necesscessarily.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 5: I think the issue is going to be with funding.
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 5: We've got to get. You know, as you probably well know,
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 5: our elections are held at the county level. And by
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 5: the way, I don't want to tear down our county
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 5: boards of elections. They do a fantastic job. I'm running
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 5: to build them up, and we got to be very
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 5: careful with that because I mean our precinct officials of
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 5: courses bipartisan. We are Republicans and Democrats to work at
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 5: these polling locations to hold each other accountable and make
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 5: sure that everyone follows the rules. And that's the reason
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 5: our system works so well. In the state of Ohio.
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 5: We do elections right here, but at the county level
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 5: sometimes they lack the funding to be able to upgrade
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 5: to different machines and machines that can work with a
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 5: paper ballot. And I'm going to work with the General
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 5: Assembly to make sure that we find the funding to
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 5: be able to run our elections securely.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I know you're responsible for licensing business as a
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: secretary of State. Is there anything the Secretary of State
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: can do pivoting over to fraud that might aid and
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: assist the state of ohiow and saving money that's going
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: out in fraud, waste and abuse, which many have calculated
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: in the billions of dollars. I keep looking at funding
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: sources and a lot of my listeners will be the
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 1: first person to say, well, if we didn't let so
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: much money go out the door in fraud waste, and abuse.
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: We'd have enough money to fill in the BLANKO in
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: this case maybe increase election integrity. So does the Secretary
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: of State have a role in preventing fraud like looking
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: into licensure ahead of time before say granting a leering
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 1: center license.
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 5: Sure, a learning center license. Absolutely, I'll tell you, well,
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 5: that goes back to something I want to talk about
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 5: with the integrity of the election system. But let's just
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 5: talk a little bit about the filing.
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 4: Of the businesses.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 5: I've got some ideas around this that I can think
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 5: can help our small businesses in our state. But first
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 5: let me address this issue of fraud. And that's a
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 5: big issue. I mean, we can remember that how do
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 5: people commit fraud? They typically committed over the internet normally
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 5: with self attestation is when we tend to trust people
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 5: to do the right thing. You can see that it's
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 5: not working well for the Somali daycares up in Minnesota.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 5: You have to trust, but verify and you've got to
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 5: make sure that the documentation is in place. And so
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 5: to your point, there is a tremendous amount of waste
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 5: and fraud within the system. We saw that during COVID
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 5: with the unemployment compensation system of four point three billion
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 5: dollar fraud there. But at the end of the day,
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 5: you've got to demand that documentation from those businesses as
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 5: they go through and process those transactions to make sure
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 5: that they're valid transactions. I mean, I think it's a
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 5: little bit difficult a Secretary of State, just because when
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 5: people are filing the paperwork to start a new business,
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 5: they've not done anything wrong. So all the fraud happens
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 5: after you incorporate, right, and you don't know what people
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 5: are going to do. Obviously, that's not the way our
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 5: criminal justice system works or should work. So we want
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 5: to make sure that we hold people accountable for what
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 5: they do or what they do wrong. My idea for
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 5: the front and I was an entrepreneur myself, so I
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 5: started my own business ran it successfully for several years.
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 5: We had an international business. Actually did a little work
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 5: in London and Mexico City and some other places. I
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 5: can remember when we started that business. The one thing
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 5: we needed was money. We needed some cash up front
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 5: to get our business started. There are a lot of
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 5: government programs out there and nobody knows what they qualify for.
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 5: I would love to create an artificial intelligence skin on
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 5: top of the business application piece, so that when new
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 5: businesses are getting started they have access to maybe thousands
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 5: of different programs and maybe even some private funding like
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 5: from the bank, that we would provide them guidance to
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 5: access all those funding mechanisms.
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, now I have had say the privilege. I'm
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: really impressed by the man. And this is not to
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: give Brian Thomas as an endorsement or anything. I know
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 1: the Republican Party has endorsed you in advance of the primary,
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: and given the collective of my listening audience, that concept
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: has kind of rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 1: Why didn't we get a say in that? I know
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: the Advance endorsed Vivik Ramaswami too for governor. So I
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: want to get your position on pre primary endorsements, but
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 1: also a question about whether you'll be debating Marcel Sturbiche Again.
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 1: I liked the guy. I'm impressed by his energy and
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: of course his service to our country. So will there
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: be a debate on the heels of what do you
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 1: say about the advanced primary endorsements?
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean, look, at the end of the day,
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 5: the people of the Republican Party the primary electorate are
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 5: the people that make the decision. Of course, I'm honored
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 5: to get the indorsement of the High Republican Party. Obviously
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 5: it's a high bar. They've known me and they've endorsed
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 5: me for the Treasurer's office, and I'd like to think
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 5: that we've done a good and honorable job in the
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 5: Treasurer's office for people, and in this particular case, I
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 5: think it's one of those things where you do want
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 5: a proven leader in the Secretary of State's office because
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 5: you want someone that understands how to run an office
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 5: and run an election. Well, you know, with regards to
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 5: a debate with Marcel, we'll see if we can find
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 5: a time and some sort of a platform to make
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 5: it fair for everyone. I don't know that that's what
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 5: we're going to do. I noticed that last time when
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 5: Trump ran, when he was ahead of the other Republican contenders,
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 5: he didn't enter any of the debate stages. But I
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 5: think that's still up in the air as to what
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 5: we do on that. What I want to talk about
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 5: really is election security, and I want to move to
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 5: an upfront citizenship check that exactly only American citizens, you know,
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 5: can vote in our elections. And I want to talk
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 5: about those kind of issues with in our Republican primary.
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, percon where you read my mind because
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: the last question is going to ask you for we're
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 1: parted company, because we were going to part company here
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 1: momentarily since we're out of time. Should only citizens be
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 1: allowed to vote in a high elections? Of course, that's
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 1: a federal law. On federal elections, you have to be
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 1: a citizen, but that is not necessarily apply to state issues.
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: So where are we in the state of Ohio on
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 1: that one.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 5: Well, here's the interesting thing. In Article five of the
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 5: Ohio Constitution, which was passed in twenty twenty two by
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 5: seventy seven percent of ohiolands, it says that only American
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 5: citizens can vote in Ohio elections. Now, I can tell
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 5: you that there are members of the Democratic Party that
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 5: do not believe that they want to see, you know,
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 5: non citizens be able to vote in Ohio elections, and
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 5: some of them have voted for that and against that
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 5: language in the Constitution on the House floor. But it
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 5: is important for us. I believe in upholding the rule
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 5: of law. That's my number one job and I will
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 5: do it. And so in order to uphold the rule
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 5: of law in the constitution of the State of Ohio.
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 5: We must there is no debate. We must move to
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 5: a front end citizenship check where we require documentary proof
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 5: of citizenship when someone registers to vote. Now, when you
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 5: go to vote, all you have to show as your photo,
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 5: idea or your driver's license. So but when you registered
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 5: a vote, you do need to show proof that you
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 5: are an American citizen.
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 1: And then listen, Lawyer, I may be, but I'm not
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: familiar with every single provision of hell Constitution. So you
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: enlighten me on that that it's already there. So our
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 1: constitution demands action on that point.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 5: I could argue absolutely, I would. That's a great way
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 5: to put it. That absolutely demands that we uphold the constitution,
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 5: and the only way to do that is trust, but verify.
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 5: And further, Brian, I will tell you that I want
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 5: to create an internal audit team to look at the
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 5: current voter registration records and make sure that we identify
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 5: any record that does not comply with Ohio law. In
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 5: other words, non citizens, illegal immigrants, people that have moved
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 5: out of our state, which is probably one of the
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 5: key pieces of voter fraud. That we have people that
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 5: have moved out of our state and then also people
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 5: that have passed away because none of them are a
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 5: ballot electors under Ohio law.
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: That all sounds like low hanging fruit. With modern technology.
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 1: Robert Sprague running for Secretary of State. Find them online
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: at Sprague for Ohio. That's the word for spelled out
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 1: Sprague for Ohio dot com but all the issues. Feel
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: free to donate work on his campaign. And I appreciate
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: the time you're willing to spend with my listeners me
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 1: this morning. Robert Sprague. I'll look forward to having you
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: back on the program and I listen. You didn't say
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: anything that rubbed me the wrong way today, sir, I
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 1: got to admit that.
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 5: All right, well, very good. I really appreciate it. We
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 5: want to keep our elections secure in the state of Ohio,
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 5: and I appreciate it coming on and talking a little
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 5: bit about election security with you.
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Brian opening up eight fifty five krs the
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 1: talk station. Happy Fridays, wonderful world, depending on where you're looking.
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: I love hearing that song on a Friday, and I
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: do love my Fridays. And a reminder, and thanks to
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: all those folks have been so kind to me and
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 1: wishing me well on my cancer treatment. Today round number two.
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: I get two days once a month totalist six treatments.
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 1: This is treatment number three and then it'll probably wipe
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 1: me out because it has the last couple of treatments,
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 1: so I won't be in on Monday and Tuesday. And
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: thanks to Dan Carroll out there, if you are listening,
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you covering for me. Everybody's in great hands
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 1: with Dan Carroll coming from the fifty five carries of
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 1: the Morning Show, and Joe Strecker of course, will be
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: starting to make things are well oiled and properly working
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: as he does every single day. Without Joe Strecker, couldn't
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 1: do this program. I'm gonna give Joe a tremendous amount
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: of praise and share that award that I got from
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 1: Barrett Media making him to the top ten on the
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 1: mid market programs morning shows here in the across the
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 1: entire United States. So without Joe, there's no way in
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 1: God's name I'd have made that list. So Joe Strecker,
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 1: he'll also produce your podcast if you're in interested in that,
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 1: So coming up, and you know it's a perfect topic
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 1: of this. And I keep laughing because I go to
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 1: the Ohio Pressnetwork dot com. That's Jack Windsor's site, and
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 1: he comes on the program every Friday at eight thirty,
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: which will be on next But he's been posting stories
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: about these Bigfoot sightings, but he hasn't chimed in on it.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: It's almost like, wait a minute, does he believe in Bigfoot?
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: If all the things that are going on in the
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 1: state of high in the world, that Bigfoot is going
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 1: to dominate the conversation. There's been reports up in northern
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 1: Ohio that Bigfoot's on the move. And it was just
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: with great laughter I saw since Windsor was coming on
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 1: and Joe put that out as a topic of conversation.
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal John Jurgenson article, new Bigfoot documentary helps
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 1: explain our conspiracy minded era. In the nineteen sixties, a
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 1: shaky film shot in the wilderness helped launch the bigfoot industry.
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 1: Notice the emphasis I placed on that word enriching and
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 1: then upending the lives of the men behind it. And
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 1: there's a new movie out capturing Bigfoot chronicling the fallout.
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 1: Apparently Roger Patterson, who shot that famous nineteen sixty seven
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 1: Bigfoot film with Bigfoot casually lumbered along in the woods there. Well,
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 1: it was staged, shocking no one, well except for the
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 1: Bigfoot believers, apparently his brother in law. There's new footage
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 1: that came out from a Kodak reel going back to
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 1: nineteen sixty six with Patterson's camera sixteen millimeter. It was
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: tracking a man in costume which turned out to be
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: his brother in law, moving in a similar fashion to
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: the shoot from nineteen sixty seven that became so famous.
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 1: Why would people continue to lie on that? His son
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 1: apparently knew that it was a lie. His wife perpetuated
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 1: the myth as well. His son's now talking. Well, they
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 1: kept it going because it was making a lot of money.
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 1: That film itself, you have to pay royalties to run it,
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 1: and in fact, the Capturing Bigfoot documentary folks, because it's
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 1: in the film, of course, had to pay thirty thousand
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 1: dollars for a licensing fee. So, yeah, suckers. E twenty
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 1: five fifty five KRC DE Talk Station, Jack Windsor.
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 6: Next, this is fifty five KARC an iHeartRadio station.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: A twenty nine to fifty five KRC and etalk station.
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 1: It's Friday, which means the return of Jack Windsor from
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: the High Press Network. Got see you there, Jack, the
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: little zoom thing working now and you're in screen. Fortunately
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 1: you worked for a moment ago. I didn't think you
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 1: were there, and that always worries the hell out of you. Joe,
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 1: Joe's he there anyway, Jack, you find Jack online and
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 1: you bookmark the website because you're gonna love at the
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 1: Ohio Pressnetwork dot com reporting on lots of matters going
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 1: on in Ohio, including topic number one. And I've been
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 1: cracking up. What in the hell's with you in Bigfoot man?
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know I am not a Bigfoot believer,
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 1: good cause you would have been duped like so many
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 1: other people. Jack read the Wall Street Journal article from
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 1: John Jurgensen outlining the new movie that came out, letting
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: everybody know that it was all a hoax, going back
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 1: to what his dad did and faking that video back
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty seven.
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 7: Thank you for pointing that out. So the part of
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 7: why we published the story is that there were six
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 7: and I used it in quote credible bigfoot sighting, incredible.
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 7: When I talked about it on air, I said well,
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 7: whoever deems them credible. Apparently it's the Bigfoot Society and
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 7: the Bigfoot Mapping Project, probably two entities that want these
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 7: things to be true, or at least want people to
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 7: think they're true so that their membership and support goes up.
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 1: But I digress sales.
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's right. Here's what's interesting about this to me?
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 7: Are there people who truly believe it? And what did
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 7: these people see or are they lying? Okay, so it
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 7: happens on six different occasions in one area, and maybe
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 7: it is some conspiracy that ties them all together. But
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 7: here's where my head went, and it's probably wrong, but
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 7: if you remember, there was a drug trafficking case involving
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 7: an incarcerated prisoner and a big network of people, and
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 7: what we learned as we dug through the facts is
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 7: that one lady talked about using a drone that actually
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 7: looked like a bird in order to ship these drugs.
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 7: And I thought, Okay, wouldn't it be interesting if these
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 7: people dressed as Bigfoot? We're out doing the various things.
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 7: Now I shouldn't say that on air because now people
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 7: will probably try to capture them and see what they
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 7: hell they're up to. But Nonetheless, six credible Bigfoot sightings
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 7: is something that hasn't happened since the nineteen seventies. I thought, well,
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 7: we ought to probably take a look at that.
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, I take issue with the word credible, because let
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 1: me ask us a simple question, Jack Winsor, in all
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 1: the years that people believed in Sasquatch and Bigfoot and
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 1: whatever the hell you want to call this fictious being,
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 1: question for those who really believe in them, where do
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: the big Feet go to die? How come we haven't
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 1: run across the big Foot carcass? Do they bury themselves
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 1: ahead of time? Are they immortal? Just asking for a friend, Jack, Yeah.
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 7: Well I'll tell you the answer that I get. They
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 7: find these portals that are interdimensional travel tunnels, so maybe they.
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 4: Go there to die.
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 1: Credible sources confirming what Jack Winsor just said. And also
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 1: the other correlator or corollary to this is are they
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 1: some sort of a subset of the broader category of
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: lizard people which some people think are real?
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 7: Oh, lizard people, moth men. I don't know. There may
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 7: be this entire genre of human like beings that we
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 7: just don't understand yet. I don't know.
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 1: Perhaps also where did chop a cobbra go to die?
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 1: Apparently they're all over the place too, except we can't
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 1: find any dead ones laying around.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 7: Okay, I will tell you this. Here's the best part
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 7: of this for me. Do you know how Bigfoot tells time? Brian,
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 7: No saf squatch?
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's a Joe doesn't have a rim shot on
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 1: sound bite, readily ready, readily handed, handy Jack.
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 7: The kids didn't even laugh at that when I know
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 7: it's not good, but that's all I could muster after
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 7: this Bigfoot story.
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, all right, we'll we'll be keeping in touch
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 1: with your hog Press network dot com. Make sure we're
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: all up to speed on Bigfoot in the sightings anyhow.
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: Pivoting over, Donald Trump visited the other day. Your reaction
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: to the visit, generally speaking, Jack windsor Well, I think.
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 7: The reaction is it's good for him to be out
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 7: and about touting his economic plan. Thermo Fisher is one
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 7: of the Ohio places that he stopped by, and they
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 7: were able to grab a quote from a woman there
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 7: who says that their business is doubling because of some
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 7: of the things that are going on. I think that's important,
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 7: but don't lose sight of the fact that he stopped
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 7: in Kentucky and in the same district where he has
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 7: supported a primary candidate that is opposing Congressman Thomas.
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 1: Massive ed Gower.
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 7: That's right, that's right. No, I think it's important. It's
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 7: all about messaging, Brian, and so as Trump gets out
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 7: and spreads the message more about Trump RX, about drug prices,
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 7: about the economy, and explains what's going on in Iran,
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 7: I think that's better for Republicans that are that are
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 7: aligned with.
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 1: Him well and being aligned with Congress from Massy on
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 1: things constitutional. He is a very strict interpretations to the Constitution.
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 1: He fights to uphold it in the face of many
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 1: and most politicians wanting to play fast and loose with
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 1: the with what's in the Constitution, the rights that are
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 1: protected by the Constitution. He didn't vow and swear an
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 1: oath to the Republican Party, which is a statement from
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump that rubbed me the wrong way. While he
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 1: was there in Kentucky, he attacked him for like abandoning
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 1: the Republican Party. And yet Congress from Massie can stand
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 1: on principle and say I swore an oath to the
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 1: Constitution and he has done probably a better job than
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 1: any of the politician at least reminding people about what
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 1: the constitution says.
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 4: Mm hmm. Yeah.
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 7: If there is something I will say about Thomas Massey,
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 7: I've had the honor of interviewing him twice.
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 1: It's that you know what you're gonna get, amen.
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 7: Thomas Massey comes from the same position every single time.
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 7: Is is it constitutional? And if I strictly interpret that
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 7: and try to spread that out over this policy, over
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 7: this position, you know where you are now. There are
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 7: some Congressmen that are in some hot water about recent
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 7: positions with respect to Iran that you kind of look
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 7: at and go, eh, maybe you don't want to go there,
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 7: But you know where Massy's coming from all the time.
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 4: You do.
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 1: And in spite of how great the outcome may end
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 1: up for the entire globe with Iran, you still have
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 1: to deal with the legal realities. There are different interpretations
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 1: of what it means to declare war and who has
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 1: that power. We have the Warpowers resolution to contend with too,
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 1: which also may be in constitutional never tested in court,
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 1: but different perceptions, different realities. You may not like what
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 1: he says, but I think he is consistent as he
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 1: always has been with his interpretation of the Constitution. So
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 1: there we have it. We'll continue with Jack Winsor and
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 1: found out what he thinks about Dwine's latest State of
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 1: the State address eight fifty five Caroseeed he talks station
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 1: always enjoyed these conversations with Jack Winsor from the Ohio
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 1: Press Network editor in chief he is and he also
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 1: writes many articles at the ohiopressnetwork dot com. Jack wins Or,
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 1: I saw your piece on the state. Last State of
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 1: the State we get from Governor Mike DeWine, your thoughts
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 1: and comments, reactions, and some of the things he had
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 1: to say. I know he talked a lot about artificial
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 1: intelligence and tech issues, and I appreciate this sentiment behind that.
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 1: He wants new law forcing cell phone tech manufacturers to
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 1: make an automatic parental controls in there to let parents
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 1: track and limit con There are applications out there you
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: can do on your own if you're not informed along
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 1: those lines. We have Tech Friday Dave Hatter every Friday
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 1: in the morning show reminding us, yes, you can do
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 1: that already. Do we need a law for this, Jack, No,
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 1: we do not.
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 7: This is again Governor Mike Dwine playing benevolent grandpa where
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 7: he wants people to perceive him as the guy that
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 7: cares about kids and takes care of everything. Now, this
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 7: to me is no different than Shared Brown touting a
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 7: shrinkflation bill telling businesses how they're going to package their products.
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 7: Governor Mike Dwine might be well intended, but telling tech
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 7: companies that they have to do X, Y and Z
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 7: is him stepping over the line from the public sector
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 7: into the private sector, where he has no business being
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 7: and where lawmakers I don't think in this instance have
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 7: any place to go what was popular. I actually agree
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 7: we have to get our minds and laws around. This
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 7: is tackling some of the AI dangers. You've seen headlines
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 7: in the past couple of weeks about people who are
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 7: using AI I and they're making those AI caricatures or
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 7: whatever you want to call them, look like minors for
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 7: pornographic reasons. I think that is disgusting. I think that
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 7: is something that we do need to come against, and
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 7: so I think there is support for that. But then
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 7: you know, he also talked about reviving Ohio's seat belt law.
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 7: That's something that I think is going to die with
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 7: that speech.
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, Look if I want, if you want to wear
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 7: a seat belt, Brian and I did great bay telling
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 7: me to do it is none of the guidelines.
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 1: I ride a motorcycle, not as much as I used to,
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 1: but always wear a helmet. You got a ten dollars head,
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 1: at least put it in a ten dollars bucket. But
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 1: I'm not here to tell you have to do it.
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 1: It just seems to make common sense. My head sliding
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 1: along a pavement at fifty miles an hour without a
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 1: helmet is enough of a threat to get me to
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 1: do the right thing. Same thing with a seat belt.
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 1: Put it on. You're going to end up in an
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 1: airbag at minimum.
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 7: Well, and if I'm wrong here, please prove me wrong
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 7: and I will accept responsibility. But where this is asinine
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 7: to me is that I think he actually commission to
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 7: study about putting seat belts in school buses, because my
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 7: argument is, if you're going to force somebody in a car,
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 7: why aren't our kids seat belt protected then? And somehow
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 7: I think that study came out that it was just
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 7: not a good idea. Okay, if we have jumped the
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 7: shark Konzi, If it's not a good idea for kids
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 7: in the school bus, then we cannot require adults in
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 7: cars to wear them as well. But one thing that
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 7: I do appreciate is that he continues to tout Ohio's
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 7: science of reading, which I think has a mountain of
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 7: evidence behind it. I think Ohio, like many states, suffered
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 7: just dangerous levels of academic and education and loss during COVID,
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 7: and we need to make sure that kids maintain a
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 7: level of literacy, and the science of reading is the
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 7: way to do that. There are laws on the books,
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 7: and he's saying, look, we're going to put together some
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 7: groups to help make sure that our resources to help
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 7: make sure that that is actually what is taught. The
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 7: people who are teaching reading that they understand how to
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 7: teach it. So that's a good thing. But then he
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 7: kind of went down the path again. Oh, look, we're
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 7: going to use another tool to track student attendance. We're
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 7: going to create a dashboard. And he lost me again there.
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 7: So there are a lot of people Brian in my
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 7: world who are celebrating probably popped some champagne on Tuesday,
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 7: realizing that that is the last time they need to
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 7: watch or hear Governor Dwine deliver a state of the state.
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Amy Acton was appeared by his side
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 1: many times, rubbing many of my listeners the wrong way
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 1: over during the COVID period, Amy lockdown acting, you do
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 1: have choices when it comes to the next governor. I
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 1: wouldn't want to go down that road. So we've learned
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 1: a lot from the Dwine administration, have we not?
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 7: He created that monster? Brian, thank you for going to that.
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 7: And by the way, maybe I shouldn't ask you a question.
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 7: Do you put any stock in the poll that we
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 7: saw yesterday that has Amy acted ten points onto bak Ramaswami?
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, good now, although you know, really I'm glad you
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 1: brought up Eva Ramaswami clearly obviously a segue for that.
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 1: But I have met people I have had it explained
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 1: to me that the opposition of vag Grama Sami springs
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 1: almost purely not because he's a wildly successful businessman. Ory
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 1: think because he's Hindu. Jack, Do we live in a theocracy? No,
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 1: you don't live in a Can they promise me make
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 1: me worship the Hindu religion or otherwise change religious affiliation?
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 1: Does he have a power to even suggest that?
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 7: No, he doesn't and I think that's why he's stayed
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 7: in tight in the lane about the policy positions. But
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 7: that will become an issue for people who want it
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 7: to become an issue. But what will be interesting is
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 7: to talk about Amy Act and what's her belief system,
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 7: because we can talk about abortion all day long. I
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 7: don't think she's a Christian. But now we're gonna punish.
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 7: So we're gonna go down that road and I'm gonna
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 7: get fired up. But I will say this, I think
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 7: one of the things that Republicans are going to have
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 7: to come to a reckoning on is I don't think
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 7: it's just him being Hindu. I'm going to say this,
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 7: and it's probably going to perturb some people. I think
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 7: it's that he has brown skin in a funny last name.
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 7: I think that's one of the things that some Republicans
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 7: in certain circles still struggle with. And so we're going
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 7: to see it is racist one hundred percent. And that
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 7: is exactly what some of the feedback we get is that, oh,
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 7: I don't want him to support these visas. I don't
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 7: want him bringing people from India over.
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 1: I don't want X, Y and Z.
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 7: He's an Indian and I'm thinking, man, I thought the party,
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 7: uh you know, had a better look about it than that.
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 7: But that is still an issue for some Republicans unfortunately.
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 1: Well, not to maybe mistake her nationality, but I do
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 1: believe my cancer doctor who will be seeing today for
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 1: my treatment is from India, and she's a hell of
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 1: a great doctor.
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 7: How about that, Listen, I don't get it, man. You know,
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 7: my family came from England, and my mom and her
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 7: family are Native American and and by the way, America
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 7: is the great melting pot. The only problem that I
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 7: think I have with immigration is that when it's not
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 7: done lawfully, and they to jump each other in the line,
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 7: and we're not strategic about it, and we allow criminals in. Otherwise,
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 7: America is the great melting pot, and so we should
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 7: welcome people like vivik Ramaswami to.
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 1: Lead our state. And I agree, and I just go
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 1: back to my immigrant history. The difference between then and now.
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 1: You can be libertearing in a perception about open borders,
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 1: but when open borders means automatic access and rights to
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 1: the public safety net and all the social welfare programs,
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 1: and you can't keep a hold on the numbers, you
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 1: end up bleeding heart yourself into death right. I mean,
• 2:11:16
  Speaker 1: that's what's going on right now. Look at our deficit.
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 7: Well, not only are we seeing resources stretched thin I
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 7: was boots on the ground covering it up close in Springfield,
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 7: Ohio with the Haitian population. I know for a fact
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 7: that exists. But let's just look as far back as yesterday, Brian,
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 7: two tragic shootings here in the United States of America,
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 7: both perpetrated by people who were somehow ideologically infiltrated by
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 7: ISIS terrorists. That is a significant issue. When you have
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 7: a welcome matt instead of a border wall for four
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 7: years and you allow whatever the number is, ten million,
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 7: fifteen million, twenty million people in, you start to see
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 7: how tragic that can be. That's my biggest heartburned, Brian,
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 7: is that there are people here who hate this country
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 7: and they came in under the Biden of business creation.
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 7: Not only are they stretching our resources, but they have
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 7: the ability to make our communities extremely unsafe.
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 1: They do. And that's one thing you say about legal immigration,
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 1: maybe a challenge to get through the whole process, and
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 1: some say it's too difficult. At least you have to
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 1: take the time and the effort and learn and understand
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 1: the founding principles of our country, which is a great
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 1: opportunity for us to ensure that they are coming here
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 1: to assimilate. They demonstrated a desire to assimilate by going
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 1: through the legal process, and that ensures a more stable
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 1: and well valuable workforce if they're willing to do the time,
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 1: recognizing that they have to actually work for a living problem.
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 1: Solve mor with Jack Winsortheohio Pressnetwork dot com. We're gonna
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 1: ask me ask them about Marcel Sturbage and Roberts Bregg
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 1: since Robert Sprague preceded you.
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 2: On the morning show this KOC they talk station.
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 5: Eight.
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 1: Little Dead Kennedy's going there, thank you, Jostacker. Closing out
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 1: the fifty five Gary Karrose Morning Show, Jellu Biofera. We
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 1: finish up one more segment here with Jack wins Or
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 1: from the Hoigh Press Network. Thankfully we get him every
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 1: Friday for about a half hour and real quick before
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 1: we leave the State of the Union, the last or
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 1: State of the State address from Dwaine. Did he have
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 1: anything to say about energy policy? I mean you mentioned
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 1: artificial intelligence. We have a huge demand that's coming our way.
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 1: I know again shout out to viv Ramaswami. Is all
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 1: about maybe embracing these small modular reactors. I am a
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 1: huge fan of them. It seems to be the salvation
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 1: of the world. But here we are with the opportunity
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 1: that exists in these various facilities. Whether you want one
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 1: in your backyard or not, this is obviously the future.
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 1: So either we get him or somebody else gets them.
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 1: What about the energy, Yeah, I think sorry about that.
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 1: He mentioned that Ohio is site ready.
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 7: That is the primary focal point of what he talked
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 7: about with respect to economic policy and advancement. Now I
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 7: will have to tell you about the final ten minutes.
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 7: I actually kind of tuned out. I listened, but I
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 7: wasn't listening.
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, I know that terrible.
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 7: Probably there's a point beyond which his voice it just
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 7: kind of goes in one here and out the other.
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 5: For me.
• 2:14:04
  Speaker 7: But no, I think the way that he positioned it
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 7: is that Ohio is site ready. We've made significant changes
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 7: with respect to our energy marketplace, with respect to permitting,
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 7: and so the way that he teed it up, he
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 7: talked about places like job Aviation, Anderill and how those
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 7: companies are here because Ohio is site ready, and so
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 7: I think he believes that we're kind of on the
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 7: bleeding edge there, all.
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 1: Right, fair enough, and he's it's out of his hands,
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 1: I guess by now anyway, because this is year. This
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 1: will be years in the making to get to that point,
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 1: and we're at the front end of it. So at
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 1: least if we're site ready, that's one step that's knocked
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 1: down we can move forward with, hopefully under the under
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 1: the control of Ramaswamy anyway, pivoting over, we have choices
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 1: when it comes to Secretary of State. I had Treasure
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 1: Robert Sprague on earlier, and you know, honestly, I really
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 1: really like Marcel Sturbage I've had I've talked to him
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 1: a couple of times. His energy, his enthusiasm, his command
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 1: of the issues and what I mean. He is a strong,
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 1: strong candidate and he's got some great ideas. I kind
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 1: of flip a coin. If we get Sprague, if we
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 1: get Marcel Sturbage. I think neither one of them is
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 1: advancing any policies that I completely disagree with. But I
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 1: did ask mister Spraggue about the endorsement from the party
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 1: ahead of the primary and if he thought that was
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 1: an appropriate thing to do. Of course, he said, well, listen,
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 1: the voters ultimately get the choice anyway. He's representative democracy
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 1: we live in. I appreciate the endorsement from the Republican Party.
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 1: It is what it is. They do what they do,
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 1: So I understand his point on that. But going back
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 1: to the issues, and I know you're a fan of
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 1: Sturbridge as well. What's your take on all of this
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 1: as we and he didn't he kind of well offuled
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 1: a little bit about a debate.
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 7: Yes he did. I've seen the rejection email where he
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 7: states that they're not going to debate it this time.
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 7: So when he says that we will see if we
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 7: can find a time in some kind of platform, he did,
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 7: that's breaking news. So let's follow up on that and
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 7: let's keep his feet to the fire on it. And
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 7: then he points out that Trump didn't enter the debate stage.
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 7: By the way, I want to say this very firmly,
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 7: I really like Robert Sprague. I would he probably wouldn't
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 7: have a bourbon. I would have a bourbon. He'd probably
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 7: have a coffee, but I'd sit down and have a
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 7: drink with the guy. And by the way, no, I
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 7: don't over consume bourbon, just trying to be funny, Okay,
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 7: But he's no Trump. He's no Donald Trump. And I
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 7: think trying to compare himself to Donald Trump is quite
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 7: a bold move on his part. And the reason I
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 7: say that is if you go back and you listen
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 7: to Donald Trump in the eighties and nineties, he was
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 7: saying the same things then as he is today about China,
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 7: about America's position in the world. And then you look
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 7: at Robert Sprague and you go, Okay, Robert Sprague, if
• 2:16:32
  Speaker 7: you are so passionate about these election law and election
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 7: integrity changes, why didn't you pass or propose election integrity
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 7: legislation when you were in the legislature for eight years?
• 2:16:41
  Speaker 7: Because I'm not seeing it. If somebody else is seeing it,
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 7: I would love to report on it. And here's my
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 7: big issue. Again. I like Robert Sprague, but if he
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 7: refuses to debate and just wants to defer to President
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 7: Trump on that, again, he's comparing the East to the West.
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 7: He is not Donald Trump. But if he wants to
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 7: take on on some of the significant changes in Ohio
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 7: making sure only citizens get on the voter rolls, ensuring
• 2:17:04
  Speaker 7: that mismatched voterforms go to provisional status until proven authentic,
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 7: outlawing third party groups that register people. Now we'll talk
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 7: about that maybe a later time, because he's kind of
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 7: bastardized that idea and requiring photo ID for all voting
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 7: that means getting mail in ballots and then eliminating drought boxes.
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 7: If he wants to do all those, I'm going to
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 7: tell you he's not only going to get pressure from
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 7: Democrats in lawsuits, He's going to get Republicans who go,
• 2:17:28
  Speaker 7: oh goy, you know, gotch how it really hard. If
• 2:17:30
  Speaker 7: you can't debate your opponent who's a Republican, how the
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 7: hell are you going to stand in the breach and
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 7: do those hard things?
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 1: Well, and he did sort of kind of bring that
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 1: up in the context of these election reforms, that the
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 1: counties will bear the way to response vote for implementation,
• 2:17:43
  Speaker 1: and they're always complaining, like Republicans would be complaining against
• 2:17:46
  Speaker 1: these reforms, we don't have the money or the ability
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 1: to do that. I would like to think that somewhere
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 1: in the vast resources of the Ohile budget they can
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 1: come up with enough money to deal with election integrity
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 1: the foundation of our entire system of government.
• 2:17:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Actually do an audit on the Somali
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 7: daycare issue. Pay attention to the reporting that we're going
• 2:18:07
  Speaker 7: to have come out in the next week or so
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 7: that deals with the billions of dollars in fraud in
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 7: Ohio's medicaid system. So look, the money is there, Brian.
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 4: You know this.
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 7: I come from the business world, and we used to say,
• 2:18:19
  Speaker 7: if you want to get something done, give it to
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 7: a busy person, because a busy person knows how to prioritize.
• 2:18:23
  Speaker 7: It's no different in politics. If you want to get
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 7: something done, make it a priority. That's an excuse.
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 1: Well stated Jack windsorhiwpressnetwork dot coms where you find them.
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 1: Check it out bookmarket and tune in next Friday. We'll
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 1: talk with Jack again at eight thirty on next Friday. Jack,
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 1: have a great week and a great weekend, my friend,
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 1: you too, Brian, God bless you, bless you. Appreciate your time.
