Speaker 1: Five o five.
0:07
Speaker 2: At fifty five k r C the talk station. Happy Friday, Tuesday, will.
0:28
Speaker 3: It is?
0:28
Speaker 1: You know it's Friday. It's officials Tracker hit the woo
0:30
Speaker 1: woo woo hoo button, Joe Treucker and second producer and
0:32
Speaker 1: so glad to see him up and around. Good morning everybody.
0:36
Speaker 1: Hope you're having a decent Friday so far, give it time.
0:38
Speaker 1: It is Mother's Day weekend, and Happy Mother's Day to
0:40
Speaker 1: all the moms out there, most importantly my own love you, Mom.
0:45
Speaker 1: Just a wonderful thing having you as my mom all
0:46
Speaker 1: these and what an amazing, amazing thing a good mom
0:49
Speaker 1: can do for you. I sorry, someone was reacting to this,
0:54
Speaker 1: you know, the whole feminism thing we got to deal with. Anyway,
0:57
Speaker 1: He held the door for a blue haired obviously insensitive
1:05
Speaker 1: I suppose to the acts of kindness bestowed upon this
1:08
Speaker 1: woman who was approaching him as he held the door
1:10
Speaker 1: for her, and she yelled at him for doing so.
1:12
Speaker 1: He stopped, He looked at her, and he said, you
1:14
Speaker 1: know what, you know, I learned that I learned to
1:17
Speaker 1: hold the door for women from the most the strongest
1:21
Speaker 1: woman that I have ever met, my mom. It shut
1:25
Speaker 1: her down Apparently she shut up and cowered a little
1:28
Speaker 1: bit and walked through the open door that was being
1:31
Speaker 1: held open by the guy who was engaging in a
1:34
Speaker 1: I suppose very kindly active chivalry. I still hold the
1:38
Speaker 1: door for my wife. My wife appreciates it. Yeah, active kindness.
1:44
Speaker 1: I've had women hold the door for me. You got
1:46
Speaker 1: packages in your hand or something, NEI a little assist.
1:48
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Me we don't
1:51
Speaker 1: need help. Well maybe you don't need it, but she's
1:54
Speaker 1: accept the gift. Eddie, how what's coming up this morning?
1:57
Speaker 1: Sorry for that. Just want to thank my mom for
1:59
Speaker 1: all so teaching me to hold the door, and for
2:01
Speaker 1: my dad reinforcing that and other acts of etiquette like
2:04
Speaker 1: the chair and anyway getting the car door, that kind
2:07
Speaker 1: of thing. I'm a traditionalist, at least I try to
2:09
Speaker 1: be when it comes to those matters. Clinging onto the
2:11
Speaker 1: old ways. Tech Front with Dave Hatter not the old ways.
2:15
Speaker 1: When Dave Hatter's on the air, their FDC data is
2:18
Speaker 1: showing people have lost billions to social media scams. Learn
2:24
Speaker 1: about those every single week from Dave Hatter, heat his
2:26
Speaker 1: advice and you'll be well at least a lot more
2:29
Speaker 1: protected from the scams than people who refuse to listen
2:32
Speaker 1: to Dave Hatter or don't tune in. Modern headphones are
2:35
Speaker 1: tracking more than just music. I'm shocked, Oh god, and
2:39
Speaker 1: researchers tracking two point nine billion compromise credentials. Yeah, Dave
2:47
Speaker 1: Williams taxpayer protection lines coming up at seven oh five.
2:50
Speaker 1: We've got democracy in an AI. I have all these
2:58
Speaker 1: different topics talk about with them. Let's see, we got
3:01
Speaker 1: the FTC data thing, modern headphones, we got two point
3:03
Speaker 1: nine billion compromise credentials and death by a thousand quotas
3:07
Speaker 1: Consumer watchdog exposes global crackdown on US streaming services. I
3:11
Speaker 1: guess they don't like our streaming services elsewhere. And Dave,
3:15
Speaker 1: that was it with Dave had or peck and apologies, folks.
3:18
Speaker 1: You know what I just found out some of the
3:19
Speaker 1: other day. I got this damn chemo treatment and I've
3:21
Speaker 1: been doing it since January. It has really impacted my
3:24
Speaker 1: ability to think, and if you've noticed it, I've been
3:28
Speaker 1: struggling a little bit to find my words. Well, there
3:29
Speaker 1: I hit the nail on the head with that one.
3:31
Speaker 1: I did a lot of research, you know, a little
3:33
Speaker 1: while ago on the effects on your brain on chemo,
3:36
Speaker 1: and you know, mostly it's temporary. It can last months,
3:39
Speaker 1: but then again, some people are plagued with a permanent
3:41
Speaker 1: interruption when they're cognitive function and I sure as hell
3:44
Speaker 1: hope that I don't get down that road. But organizing
3:47
Speaker 1: my thoughts has been a little bit difficult during this
3:49
Speaker 1: round of chemotherapy. So I truly, truly apologize, and it's
3:53
Speaker 1: actually so embarrassing. I go home feeling terrible about my
3:56
Speaker 1: inability to grab words and thoughts and also keep myself organized.
4:00
Speaker 1: So just asking for just a Scotia forgiveness. So with
4:04
Speaker 1: that out of the way, let's see FDA taking steps
4:12
Speaker 1: toward harm reduction. Great this one on the heels of
4:14
Speaker 1: a UK article. They cracking down on tobacco products there
4:17
Speaker 1: and vape products. Looks like the FDA is taking some
4:20
Speaker 1: steps on vapes as well. And I know Dave has
4:22
Speaker 1: a sweet spot in his heart for the vaping. He
4:24
Speaker 1: thinks it's a great idea because his dad smoked like
4:26
Speaker 1: three packs of cigarettes a day and died from lung cancer.
4:29
Speaker 1: So vape a great alternative. And when you crack down
4:31
Speaker 1: of vape products, people continue to smoke in much larger
4:35
Speaker 1: numbers than areas where they allow vape products to go
4:37
Speaker 1: out into the world. Anyway, what's going on across the pond?
4:42
Speaker 1: Exchanging fire, iron lost missiles and drones and small boat
4:46
Speaker 1: attacks against US warships not good. This was going through
4:49
Speaker 1: the strait of horror moves. We then, of course responded
4:51
Speaker 1: by intercepting those threats and then striking Irani military sites.
4:55
Speaker 1: Sencom said the Iran tacks were unprovoked. Aren't we a ceasefire?
5:00
Speaker 1: Keep hearing that they don't want to seek escalation, but
5:04
Speaker 1: we will respond. President Trump said the ceasefire with Iran
5:07
Speaker 1: is still in effect, calling the latest round to strikes
5:10
Speaker 1: a trifle. I still go back to my question of
5:13
Speaker 1: Daniel Davis last week. Wait a second, if both sides
5:15
Speaker 1: in a ceasefire are shooting at each other, isn't it,
5:18
Speaker 1: definitionally speaking, not a ceasefire. Yeah. I think the answer
5:21
Speaker 1: to that is yes. At least we're using logic and reason.
5:24
Speaker 1: United Arab Emirates also got an in launch of missiles
5:28
Speaker 1: and drone attacks against them. Saudi Arabia actually now has
5:32
Speaker 1: lifted our restrictions, the restrictions of the place on US
5:34
Speaker 1: military base use, so we weren't allowed to use our
5:36
Speaker 1: own bases because Saudi Arabia didn't want to get I
5:39
Speaker 1: guess become the recipient of missile strikes. Apparently that is
5:42
Speaker 1: over and we're free to use the base. And as
5:44
Speaker 1: to those US strikes, it was a love tap, that's
5:47
Speaker 1: what Donald Trump called them, strikes against Iranian targets. A
5:51
Speaker 1: love tap. Here Iran have a love tap or two.
5:56
Speaker 1: But again, Trump also said speaking with ABC News, the
6:00
Speaker 1: ceasefire is going, before adding it's in effect. All right.
6:07
Speaker 1: Over to comments from Daniel Davis, he hasn't been real optimistic,
6:10
Speaker 1: he keeps saying, and I know people roll their eyes
6:13
Speaker 1: over it. You know, the Iranians have a lot of missiles,
6:15
Speaker 1: and we have not really exhausted their supply missiles. In
6:18
Speaker 1: spite of what Trump keeps saying. They could go on
6:20
Speaker 1: and on and on. And they've got that religious resistance
6:23
Speaker 1: too that you have to keep in mind in the
6:25
Speaker 1: back of your head. Why don't they capitulate? What have
6:27
Speaker 1: they got to win? Why would they even want a nuke.
6:29
Speaker 1: We'll let them alone, we'll let them trade, we'll give
6:31
Speaker 1: them their money back, we'll let their oil flow. Just
6:33
Speaker 1: say no nukes. They won't do that. It's capitulation. They
6:38
Speaker 1: got to save face, and they can continue to do
6:42
Speaker 1: so to a certain degree, in spite of the economic
6:45
Speaker 1: devastation that's brought been brought down on the Iranian citizenry
6:48
Speaker 1: and the government itself funds drying up oil stuck well
6:52
Speaker 1: oil pumps being shut down, but not to the degree
6:54
Speaker 1: that some think they're doing work arounds, something Daniel Davis
6:57
Speaker 1: pointed out as well. They don't need a necessarily shut
7:00
Speaker 1: them down. They do have a lot of space in
7:02
Speaker 1: Iran to place the excess oil that's coming, so they
7:04
Speaker 1: can keep these low level producing pumps going without freezing
7:07
Speaker 1: up and rendering them inable to come back online. But
7:11
Speaker 1: there is a new CIA analysis that was leaked to
7:14
Speaker 1: the public confidential it was and of course inside sources
7:17
Speaker 1: speaking with folks about what's in the report. Analysis by
7:20
Speaker 1: the US Central Intelligence Community found that Tehran retains significant
7:25
Speaker 1: ballistic missiles capable despite weeks of intense US and Israeli bombardment.
7:30
Speaker 1: Talk to multiple people on a condition of anonymity, of course,
7:34
Speaker 1: Iran retains about ready how many missiles seventy five percent
7:42
Speaker 1: of its pre war inventories of mobile launchers about seventy
7:45
Speaker 1: percent of its pre war stockpiles of missiles. Apparently, official
7:49
Speaker 1: said there is evidence of the regime has been able
7:51
Speaker 1: to recover and reopen almost all of its underground storage facilities,
7:57
Speaker 1: repair some of the damage missiles, and assemble some of
7:59
Speaker 1: the new missiles that were nearly completed when the war
8:02
Speaker 1: opened up. And another thing that Daniel Davis has pointed out,
8:05
Speaker 1: it's a lot of territory. There are a lot of
8:07
Speaker 1: these missile production facilities out in the world. We don't
8:09
Speaker 1: know where they all are, and they don't need to
8:11
Speaker 1: be very big. You can put drones together in a
8:13
Speaker 1: small space, and in a country that's two point four
8:17
Speaker 1: times the size of Texas, that's a lot of ground
8:20
Speaker 1: to cover. Now. Trump previously said the other day Wednesday,
8:24
Speaker 1: their missiles are mostly decimated. They have probably eighteen nineteen percent,
8:29
Speaker 1: but not a lot by comparison to what they had. Obviously,
8:31
Speaker 1: this conflicts dramatically with the US Intelligent with the Sencom
8:34
Speaker 1: report US Intelligence official and asked for comment. So the
8:39
Speaker 1: blockade is inflicting real compounding damage, severing trade, crushing revenue,
8:43
Speaker 1: accelerating systemic economic collapse. Military bases badly damaged, navy destroyed.
8:48
Speaker 1: Leaders are hiding what's left of the regime's appetite for
8:51
Speaker 1: civilian stuffering, starving its own people to prolong award has
8:55
Speaker 1: already lost. Okay, that's kind of a like good push
8:58
Speaker 1: them in that direction. If it's that, then they'll capitulate.
9:03
Speaker 1: But one of the officials, speaking to the Washington Post
9:06
Speaker 1: who released this confidential report, at least the inside information
9:09
Speaker 1: about it, the leadership has gotten more radical, determined, and
9:13
Speaker 1: increasingly confident they can outlast US political will and sustain
9:18
Speaker 1: domestic repression to check any resistance, which they had been
9:21
Speaker 1: doing ramping up the murder of their own civilians to
9:23
Speaker 1: keep the people shut up and not complaining. Comparatively, this
9:27
Speaker 1: first official said, you see similar regimes lasting years under
9:30
Speaker 1: sustained embargoes and airpower only wars. Humphm accord i. RAN's
9:37
Speaker 1: economy reeling from the effects of war, great persistent inflation
9:40
Speaker 1: gone through the roof, of course, But the CIA estimates
9:44
Speaker 1: that Iran can survive the blockade for ninety to one
9:47
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty eights, maybe even longer, before the more
9:50
Speaker 1: serious economic hardships befall them. They're storing some of its
9:54
Speaker 1: oil on tankers, as we've come to learn, they're studying
9:57
Speaker 1: them in any place they can find some space, seem
10:00
Speaker 1: to flow in its oil fields to ensure those wells
10:03
Speaker 1: remain functional. Now, I heard a lot of people say, well,
10:05
Speaker 1: they can keep those oils pumping, and they'd rather just
10:07
Speaker 1: pour it into the ground than let those oils stop
10:10
Speaker 1: producing completely. Well, apparently there's another work around right there.
10:13
Speaker 1: Just lower the flow. It will work then when you
10:16
Speaker 1: want to reopen it to full capacity. As person said,
10:19
Speaker 1: it's nowhere near as dire as some have claimed. They
10:25
Speaker 1: also said the analysis might be underestimating Iran's economic resilience
10:29
Speaker 1: if Tehran is able to smuggle oil, which they have
10:32
Speaker 1: been doing over land on our weapons. The confidential intelligence
10:36
Speaker 1: assessment says the Iran's inventory missiles and mobile launchers remains formidable.
10:41
Speaker 1: They're thought to have roughly twenty five hundred bullistic missiles
10:43
Speaker 1: before the war began, as well as thousands more unarmed drunes. Again,
10:48
Speaker 1: Daniel Davis speaks to this. Washington po's visual investigation found
10:53
Speaker 1: that Iranian air strikes have damaged or destroyed at least
10:56
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty eight structures piece of equipment at
10:58
Speaker 1: US military sites across Middle East, destruction much larger than
11:03
Speaker 1: what has been publicly acknowledged by the US government. And
11:06
Speaker 1: I understand painting a rosy picture of the American people.
11:08
Speaker 1: This is what we do. Got to maintain a chin
11:11
Speaker 1: up attitude about this. No, no, we're fine. We're knocking
11:14
Speaker 1: those missiles that are in coming out of the air.
11:15
Speaker 1: We're doing okay, But that's a lot of destruction and
11:18
Speaker 1: at a sizable cost. When they hit those radar installations.
11:22
Speaker 1: You're talking about the loss of billions of dollars. They say.
11:27
Speaker 1: The timeline when Aron can start producing ballistic missiles and
11:32
Speaker 1: substantial quantities has shortened, and they don't need the ballistic
11:41
Speaker 1: missiles as much as they don't provide as much value
11:44
Speaker 1: as the drones, which are very low cost. And as
11:47
Speaker 1: this is pointed out, unlike medium range missiles that can
11:50
Speaker 1: strike like Israel, the drones can be built in small warehouses,
11:53
Speaker 1: easily concealable facilities. Of course, those facilities can move from
11:56
Speaker 1: time to time, so off intelligence red flags some particular
11:59
Speaker 1: building where the drones are being made, your audience can
12:03
Speaker 1: just pick up the operation and move it someplace else,
12:08
Speaker 1: and then you know, here's kind of like the ultimate
12:11
Speaker 1: point here, the straight of Horn moves being closed, trying
12:14
Speaker 1: to get it back open. That's the economic problem for
12:16
Speaker 1: the world. All it takes is one drone to hit
12:21
Speaker 1: a ship, and nobody will bother ensuring those oil tankers anymore.
12:25
Speaker 1: If the oil tankers aren't ensured, the people who own
12:27
Speaker 1: them aren't inclined to take the risk because obviously the
12:30
Speaker 1: losses will be incalculable. So, and you know, I'll be
12:36
Speaker 1: the first person to admit, you know, inside information leaked report.
12:38
Speaker 1: You know, it all sounds like, oh my god, it's
12:40
Speaker 1: a bunch of crap. We don't need to believe that,
12:42
Speaker 1: you know, But I hear from people after Daniel Davis
12:44
Speaker 1: talks about exactly this. Apparently he's got inside sources too,
12:48
Speaker 1: which he's alluded to before. So I'm just providing because
12:51
Speaker 1: not everybody's on the same page in terms of what
12:53
Speaker 1: the information is that comes out. Now it's up to
12:56
Speaker 1: us individually to try to figure it out. With the
12:58
Speaker 1: fog of war makes it that much more difficult to
13:00
Speaker 1: figure out what's truth versus what's reality. I guess you
13:04
Speaker 1: think pray for a great outcome five eighteen right now
13:09
Speaker 1: fifty five KRC D talk station five one three seven
13:11
Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred eight hundred eight two three

13:16
Speaker 1: be right.
13:16
Speaker 4: Back fifty five KRC dot com Mt eight forty four
13:21
Speaker 4: degrees right now if you five KRC DE talk station.
13:23
Speaker 3: I'm Donald J. Trump. Can I improve this message?
13:26
Speaker 5: Corny Paula five twenty two fifty five KRC D talk station,
13:37
Speaker 5: Get out of bed music.
13:44
Speaker 6: Tell that type.
13:46
Speaker 1: Yes, I met a new listener. Listener launch came up
13:49
Speaker 1: me because what's the name of that song that you
13:50
Speaker 1: play the five o'clock hour? After this break, Asus bades
13:57
Speaker 1: that wasn't exactly his cup of tea music. I know
13:59
Speaker 1: we all have some activity the subjective dates when it
14:01
Speaker 1: comes to music. That's Joe in my selection right there,
14:04
Speaker 1: So just live through it for a couple of seconds.
14:06
Speaker 1: Congratulations to my friends in Indiana. You got to relief
14:08
Speaker 1: from some high gas prices. Governor Mike bron has now
14:12
Speaker 1: I know. He extended the suspension of the sales tax
14:15
Speaker 1: on gasoline for another thirty days, paused the state gas tax,
14:20
Speaker 1: also resulting in my Indiana friends saving fifty nine point
14:25
Speaker 1: three cents a gallon for the next month. How about
14:28
Speaker 1: that Indiana doesn't care about Rhodes.
14:32
Speaker 7: Joe.
14:32
Speaker 1: Well, wait a second, here, they have a slush fund. Yeah,
14:36
Speaker 1: they got a rainy day fund. I'll get that in
14:38
Speaker 1: a second. Because I did a little I did a
14:41
Speaker 1: quick research. Ohio's rainy day fund currently three point nine
14:46
Speaker 1: to four billion at the end of last county year,
14:48
Speaker 1: described as a record high. Joe, we're a washing cash.
14:53
Speaker 1: How does this translate into loss of tax dollars? It's
14:56
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't sound nearly as bad anyway. Attorney
14:58
Speaker 1: General Todd Rakeda's office set initiated price gusing investigations into
15:02
Speaker 1: retailers as well. I don't know that's going to bear
15:04
Speaker 1: much fruit. If you've got three gas stations within a
15:06
Speaker 1: mile of each other, usually the price is the same,
15:08
Speaker 1: unless they've colluded together to raise the price. We have choices.
15:11
Speaker 1: If you buy gas one place, it can be a
15:13
Speaker 1: lot cheaper if you bother to drive a couple of
15:15
Speaker 1: miles ago elsewhere. But anyway, we'll see if that bears
15:17
Speaker 1: fut fruit. Thirty day tax suspension and combined of the
15:22
Speaker 1: suspensions rather expect to cost the state coffers one hundred
15:27
Speaker 1: and four million when you think of a billion dollars
15:33
Speaker 1: is one thousand million. I think we can manage a
15:37
Speaker 1: little bit of cut without impacting anybody's budget. Long term,
15:42
Speaker 1: local coffers are going to struggle with a loss of
15:44
Speaker 1: fifty two million bronze. Initial thirty day suspension of these
15:48
Speaker 1: seven percent sales tax on gas came at a separate
15:51
Speaker 1: fifty million revenue costs. So do all the number crunching,
15:54
Speaker 1: and with about two hundred total million dollars, the state
15:58
Speaker 1: collected two hundred and thirty eighty three points seven million
16:00
Speaker 1: through the gasoline tax in April and is four hundred
16:05
Speaker 1: and twenty five million above fiscal year projection, So they're
16:09
Speaker 1: doing pretty well on tax collections anyway. The tax suspension
16:13
Speaker 1: set to end May eighth, was set this to nd
16:16
Speaker 1: May eighth, Now it's been extended by a month. He's
16:19
Speaker 1: also increased the mileage reimbursement rate for state employees in Indiana.
16:22
Speaker 1: So all right, pivoting over, oh look south of the
16:26
Speaker 1: Greater Cincinnati Cincinnatieri government, sheer has frozen the state gas tax.
16:33
Speaker 1: Do you think Kentucky didn't cover the roads either? He
16:35
Speaker 1: Joe activating the state's price gouging laws and sending two
16:41
Speaker 1: letters to Congress urging them to suspend the federal tax. Oh,
16:44
Speaker 1: that could be done, I guess had a law at
16:46
Speaker 1: an increase of our national debt, I suppose anyway freezing
16:49
Speaker 1: the gas tax from my friends in the Commonwealth twenty
16:51
Speaker 1: six point four cents per gallon. It was expected to
16:55
Speaker 1: increase this twenty seven cents. Why because every month they
16:58
Speaker 1: look at the prior months sales tax or gasoline price
17:01
Speaker 1: and then adjust the tax for the next month. It
17:04
Speaker 1: was expected to go up. Well, it won't apparently this time.
17:07
Speaker 1: So congratulations to my friends in the Commonwealth. Yes, you
17:10
Speaker 1: could do it if you wanted to wine, but you know, roads, bridges, infrastructure,
17:14
Speaker 1: and of course six hundred million dollars from the other
17:16
Speaker 1: slush fund, the Unclaimed funds, so we can give six
17:19
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars to the Cleveland Browns.
17:22
Speaker 7: Thank you.
17:23
Speaker 8: Is the biggest douche of the universe, in all the galaxies,
17:29
Speaker 8: there's no bigger douche than you. You've reached the top,
17:34
Speaker 8: the pinnacle of doue dom. Good going, dou Your dreams
17:40
Speaker 8: have come true.
17:41
Speaker 1: Joe, Joe, that was not SCC compliant what you just
17:44
Speaker 1: said to me. About the wine five went three seven
17:49

19:20

19:30
Speaker 10: And also, for those of you may not know, a
19:33
Speaker 10: personal favorite of mine would have been his one hundredth
19:35
Speaker 10: birthday today, Don Rickles. Oh boy boy, do we miss
19:39
Speaker 10: that kind of humor? And do we miss the days
19:43
Speaker 10: or people could put.
19:44
Speaker 1: Up with that? Can you imagine, let's say, a thirty
19:48
Speaker 1: year old Don Rickles who's in his prime comedy wise,
19:51
Speaker 1: in this day and age, nobody would never have heard
19:54
Speaker 1: who he is, or he'd probably be imprisoned someplace for
19:57
Speaker 1: you know, offending someone.
19:58
Speaker 10: Right, good lord, if you if you got offended by
20:02
Speaker 10: Don Rickles, you're you're in number one, you're an idiot.
20:04
Speaker 10: But number two, it was it was like a badge
20:07
Speaker 10: of honor if he if he decided to attack you,
20:09
Speaker 10: then I was like, wow, he noticed me, This is great.
20:11
Speaker 1: Well yeah, and if you didn't get attacked by him,
20:13
Speaker 1: he kind of felt left out. Hey what about my
20:15
Speaker 1: flag group?
20:16
Speaker 3: Right right on?
20:20
Speaker 10: So I wanted to pivot real quick. Your your caller
20:23
Speaker 10: after me yesterday was talking about Thomas Massey and uh,
20:28
Speaker 10: and I don't want to be a campaign ad for
20:30
Speaker 10: Thomas Massey, but I can't say anything bad about the man.
20:33
Speaker 10: I mean he, I mean, he he comes out, he
20:35
Speaker 10: tells you this is where I stand on things, this
20:37
Speaker 10: is my opinion, and this is what I'm gonna do
20:39
Speaker 10: if you elect me office. And then he just goes
20:42
Speaker 10: and does it, and he keeps up with it, he
20:44
Speaker 10: doesn't back down. I mean, isn't that what we want?
20:46
Speaker 10: No matter what the no matter what the stances, and
20:48
Speaker 10: that we want a politician to tell me what you're
20:51
Speaker 10: gonna do, and then I elect you, and then you
20:53
Speaker 10: just go ahead and do it. And then the last
20:55
Speaker 10: ad I just heard was, I mean, they got a
20:57
Speaker 10: lot more in common. The guy yesterday was like, oh,
21:00
Speaker 10: he doesn't agree with Trump, so what the deal? He
21:03
Speaker 10: doesn't agree with Trump? You have to agree with Trump
21:05
Speaker 10: to get my vote. No, I need to think outside
21:08
Speaker 10: of who you agree with, who you get along with.
21:11
Speaker 10: I need to be thinking about what is your stance
21:12
Speaker 10: on this? Is it aligned with my stance on it?
21:16
Speaker 10: Before I decide I'm going to vote for you. If
21:17
Speaker 10: all you're going to do is is is think, oh,
21:20
Speaker 10: well they don't agree with the president that I voted for,
21:22
Speaker 10: well you're not really thinking very much for yourself. That's
21:25
Speaker 10: just lazy. So take a few minutes and think about
21:28
Speaker 10: what you're doing before you decide who you are and
21:30
Speaker 10: aren't going to vote for, And don't just use who
21:32
Speaker 10: they're aligned with or or what cable channel has them
21:35
Speaker 10: on more often or whatever you know. Think about it
21:38
Speaker 10: for a minute, and then, for God's sake, don't vote Democrat.
21:41
Speaker 10: Have a great weekend.
21:42
Speaker 1: That's the safest bet right there. Just default position. Don't
21:44
Speaker 1: vote Democrat, but thoroughly review your Republican options and do
21:49

29:21
Speaker 1: and Williams forty four. Can you can imagine if this
29:23
Speaker 1: guy's your neighbor, get a little what this guy was doing?
29:25
Speaker 1: Garden Grove Avenue where you don't want to live? Neighborhood said,
29:28
Speaker 1: they've been living in fear since he moved in a
29:29
Speaker 1: few years ago. They described him as often exposing his
29:33
Speaker 1: naked body from a bedroom window, where everyone, including children
29:38
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood, are able to see him. They claim
29:41
Speaker 1: he made threats to anybody he spotted, including one neighbor
29:44
Speaker 1: who claimed he threatened to kill him and his dog.
29:47
Speaker 1: A corner to the neighbor Rod veto he's screaming. He's
29:50
Speaker 1: hanging out in the window naked, shaking his penis at everybody.
29:56

Speaker 10: At least so we could get int the penalty bucks
29:59
Speaker 10: all by himself.
30:01
Speaker 1: Well, neighbor, I work from home, and I hear him
30:03
Speaker 1: yelling all the time. It's NonStop, sometimes from morning until
30:06
Speaker 1: three am, if not later, repeatedly exposing himself naked from
30:10
Speaker 1: his window. She says, they're children around here. He'll people
30:14
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood the n word, said discriminatory things about
30:18
Speaker 1: women and men, blaming. It's just the nightmare. According to
30:22
Speaker 1: the neighbors, he has no electricity at his home, so
30:25
Speaker 1: he reportedly sets fire inside the house for warmth that night. Well,
30:29
Speaker 1: you can pray for a carbon monoxide poisoning if you
30:32
Speaker 1: are so inclined to do something like that, or maybe
30:34
Speaker 1: his house will burned down. But in the meantime, authorities
30:37
Speaker 1: finally dealt with him. I guess. Los Angeles Police Department
30:39
Speaker 1: officers showed up around six pm to arrest him for
30:41
Speaker 1: these criminal threats, taking to the patrol car, and of
30:44

30:52
Speaker 1: being held on a seventy five thousand dollars bail. Hey, Joe,
30:55
Speaker 1: what do you think that bill would be? If he
30:56

Speaker 1: have lost billions of social media scams, modern headphones are
34:26
Speaker 1: tracking more than music home I'm shocked, and researchers tracking
34:29
Speaker 1: two point nine billion dollars in compromise credential. Dave Williams
34:33
Speaker 1: one hour from now with the Text Payer Protection Alliance,
34:35
Speaker 1: Democracy and Artificial Intelligence Global crackdown on United States streaming services.
34:40
Speaker 1: They don't like US vapes in the FDA and Data
34:43
Speaker 1: Center moratorium is not good. Apparently it puts the United
34:46
Speaker 1: States at risk. Corey Bowman on a variety of topics
34:49
Speaker 1: after Dave Williams. He'll be on a day oh five
34:52
Speaker 1: primary comments. The summer city safety planet got rolled out.
34:56
Speaker 1: Is that going to help? We may issue citations, but
34:59
Speaker 1: we don't want to winsor with primary results and sudden
35:02
Speaker 1: resignation of Attorney General Yostay, he's off to a political
35:05
Speaker 1: advocacy law firm and it's going to be doing some
35:07
Speaker 1: work on behalf of a conservative organization. David yost Out,
35:10
Speaker 1: who will govern to Wine a point and will govern
35:14
Speaker 1: to Wine. Roll back our gasoline taxes since Indiana, Kentucky,
35:17
Speaker 1: you're doing it saving in Indiana. You guys got to
35:19
Speaker 1: save almost sixty cents a gallon with the tax rollbacks.
35:21
Speaker 1: Oh I figured it. Good morning, Dad, Here we go.
35:25
Speaker 1: This just icing on the cake for me. Now, we've
35:28
Speaker 1: been dealing with the phenomenon of people fleeing the over taxed,
35:32
Speaker 1: heavily regulated states and moving to places where they have
35:35
Speaker 1: economic and general freedom. There's a new study out Committee
35:40
Speaker 1: to Unleashed Prosperity. Now it is a conservative economic group,
35:42
Speaker 1: but you can't deny what they are saying here using
35:45
Speaker 1: United States IRS taxpayer information in an analysis called Red
35:50
Speaker 1: States versus Blue States, where the money went described as
35:54
Speaker 1: a cumulative adjusted gross income analysis of gains and losses
35:57
Speaker 1: because people are moving. Over this eleven year period twenty
36:02
Speaker 1: twelve to twenty twenty three are the years that they analyzed.
36:05
Speaker 1: Thirty one states that were carried by Donald Trump gained
36:08
Speaker 1: a combined two point one nine nine trillion in net
36:13
Speaker 1: adjusted income as a consequence of inbound migration. Nineteen states
36:19
Speaker 1: plus Washington, DC. The Kamala Harris won net loss of
36:22
Speaker 1: a comparable amount one point ninety six trillion.
36:25
Speaker 3: AH.
36:25
Speaker 1: That's where the money came from. And they say the
36:29
Speaker 1: numbers keep getting bigger every year. Get access to IRS data.
36:33
Speaker 1: Over the entire period saw the movement of two trillion
36:37
Speaker 1: dollars worth of income. Florida who the big winners Florida
36:40
Speaker 1: one point twenty nine to three trillion, Texas thirty three
36:44
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy one billion, Arizona two hundred and three billion,
36:46
Speaker 1: South Carolina, North Carolina each an additional one hundred and
36:49
Speaker 1: eighty seven billion dollars, Nevada an extra one fifty Tennessee
36:54
Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve, Idaho seventy two point two billion.
36:58
Speaker 1: We point out nearly every blue state has lost income
37:01
Speaker 1: because people fleeing the states. Those states won by Kamala Harris.
37:04
Speaker 1: Colorado lost one hundred and twenty seven billion, Washington one
37:07
Speaker 1: hundred and nineteen, Oregon sixty point eight steep losses shown
37:11
Speaker 1: in oh Which states do you think had the biggest losses?
37:14
Speaker 1: New York largest six hundred and sixty billion, California coming
37:18
Speaker 1: to number two five hundred and three billion in Illinois
37:21
Speaker 1: three hundred and ninety nine billion, New Jersey down two
37:24
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve billion, Maryland, Massachusetts one hundred and twenty
37:27
Speaker 1: billion off and one hundred and eighteen off, respectively. Here's
37:31
Speaker 1: the bad news, folks. Ready, several Trump won states also
37:36
Speaker 1: experienced losses. My friends in Pennsylvania are down one hundred
37:39
Speaker 1: and fifteen and oh lo and behold, Ohio lost one
37:43
Speaker 1: hundred and six billion, Which allows me to pivot over
37:46
Speaker 1: to Kimberly Strassel standing on the shoulders of her column
37:49
Speaker 1: the Red Blue Economic Divide. Now, let me ask you
37:52
Speaker 1: this question. Are you planning on staying home in November
37:55
Speaker 1: because gasoline's expensive? Or are you going to vote Democrat,
37:58
Speaker 1: which is the exact same thing. It's a good question
38:03
Speaker 1: to ask as I dive into Kimberly Strassel's comment, there's
38:05
Speaker 1: a silver lining in the clouds that produced taste in
38:07
Speaker 1: today's political storms. It's the growing obvious disparity between red
38:12
Speaker 1: states and blue state economic models, which puts their theories
38:15
Speaker 1: to a real world test. One side's doing all the winning.
38:18
Speaker 1: You already know which side, beautifully illustrated this week via
38:22
Speaker 1: the amusingly unequal battle between New York Mayor Johan Mandami
38:26
Speaker 1: and Citadel CEO Florida resident Ken Griffin. Mam Dami provoked
38:31
Speaker 1: it by using what is described as a malicious personal
38:35
Speaker 1: attack on this billionaire p detur tax. I think I'm
38:40
Speaker 1: pronouncing that right, p the a tour anyway, It's attacks
38:45
Speaker 1: on second homes basically, and if video of the mayor
38:48
Speaker 1: complained that rich owners of second homes in his city
38:51
Speaker 1: don't pay their fair share, and then he pointed to
38:53
Speaker 1: this multi billion dollars Penthouse hedge fund CEO Griffin bought
38:57
Speaker 1: for two hundred and thirty eight million dollars. He still
39:00
Speaker 1: in front of this guy's home, one citizen and one
39:03
Speaker 1: person that Mom Dommi's supposed to represent. Citadel moved its
39:08
Speaker 1: headquarters from Chicago to Miami back in twenty twenty two,
39:11
Speaker 1: but still has a huge New York presence, made it
39:15
Speaker 1: a draft target to pick getting out of there. Hedge
39:18
Speaker 1: Funds team members have paid nearly two point three billion
39:22
Speaker 1: dollars in city and state taxes in the past five
39:25
Speaker 1: years alone. Citadel's deciding whether to redevelop Park Avenue office
39:29
Speaker 1: that would create fifteen thousand permanent Midtown Manhattan jobs, a
39:33
Speaker 1: project that he might pull the plug on because of
39:35
Speaker 1: Mom Doami. Just how daft was made clearer this week
39:40
Speaker 1: by the response from mister Griffin at Milliken Institute conference.
39:43
Speaker 1: He said that mister Mandami's attack had helped clarify Citadel's future. Quote,
39:48
Speaker 1: when we moved from Chicago, there was a debate between
39:50
Speaker 1: New York and Miami. It's unquestionably true that we made
39:53
Speaker 1: the right choice. And now what the Mayor of New
39:57
Speaker 1: York has made clear to my partners in Princelyvine, in
39:59
Speaker 1: my New York partners, is that we need to double
40:02
Speaker 1: down on our bet in Miami because we want to
40:05
Speaker 1: be in a state that embraces business, that embraces education,
40:08
Speaker 1: that embraces personal freedom and liberty, and that embraces people
40:10
Speaker 1: having an opportunity to live the American dream, and a
40:13
Speaker 1: dream of earned success, not a dream of redistrative of
40:17
Speaker 1: handouts that leave people dependent on government for their lives
40:20
Speaker 1: and their livelihoods in a way that takes away dignity
40:23
Speaker 1: and honor. Amen preach it from the highest mountain there,
40:28
Speaker 1: mister Milkin, mister Momdamie responded by insisting New York's tax
40:33
Speaker 1: system was unjust and that only after further taxing quote
40:37
Speaker 1: the wealthiest New Yorkers close, quote, will the cityb one
40:40
Speaker 1: that working people can actually afford to live in. Strassel
40:45
Speaker 1: points out this is demonstrably untrue, as evidenced by Florida.
40:47
Speaker 1: Miami Dade County has experienced booming growth, with working people
40:52
Speaker 1: flocking to chase an explosion of businesses, jobs, and better lives.
40:55
Speaker 1: Its schools are better than New York's. It's housing and
40:58
Speaker 1: rent are half as expensive, It's utilities more affordable, it
41:02
Speaker 1: is cleaner, it isn't teeming with vagrants, and you can
41:04
Speaker 1: even visit a Walmart. Miami residents get all of this
41:08
Speaker 1: because not in spite of zero state income taxes, zero
41:15
Speaker 1: estate taxes, a manageable seven percent tax, and a sales
41:19
Speaker 1: tax rather than a reasonable property tax and corporate taxes.
41:23
Speaker 1: Those policies drive growth and revenue. By contrast, New Yorkers
41:30
Speaker 1: stagger under tax and cost burdens. Combined state local income
41:33
Speaker 1: tax fourteen point eight percent, state and city taxes of
41:37
Speaker 1: nine percent. Nearly property taxes are huge, A heaving corporate
41:42
Speaker 1: income tax, all for the joy of primy schools, insane
41:46
Speaker 1: ren costly utilities in a collapsing transit infrastructure. More than
41:49
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand people fled New York City last year alone.
41:55
Speaker 1: This is the divide, and it's accelerating across this country.
42:00
Speaker 1: Red states racing each other to compete for growth, cutting taxes,
42:04
Speaker 1: slashing regulations, and acting government union reforms. South Carolina is
42:07
Speaker 1: the latest to join the flat or zero tax movement,
42:11
Speaker 1: the ninth state to do so since twenty twenty one.
42:14
Speaker 1: Texas last year implemented the largest school choice program in
42:17
Speaker 1: the nation, joining the sweeping universal choice movement. Cities vying
42:21
Speaker 1: to become financial and tech hubs. By contrast, I love
42:25
Speaker 1: the contrast progressives doubling down on taxes and redistribution. At
42:29
Speaker 1: least eight states now have a quote unquote millionaire's tax,
42:33
Speaker 1: several created in just the past year. At least a
42:36
Speaker 1: dozen more sprint to adopt one. Blue states are promising
42:39
Speaker 1: even bigger handouts or more quote unquote crackdowns on businesses,
42:43
Speaker 1: greater union power, fewer police, even as crime rages, schools fail,
42:48
Speaker 1: and the cost of living keeps increasing see a death spiral.
42:53
Speaker 1: The chasms between these two approaches is now too wide
42:56
Speaker 1: for businesses or average Americans to ignore, and it's what's
42:58
Speaker 1: providing those fascinating real time results. Whereas businesses once felt
43:04
Speaker 1: felt compelled to stay in Wall Street or Silicon Valley,
43:07
Speaker 1: the downsides have grown too huge. Whereas working folks in
43:10
Speaker 1: the past mainly relocated for weather or the occasional jobs,
43:13
Speaker 1: which Americans are today moving aggressively on the basis of
43:17
Speaker 1: economic policy. They're flocking to Florida, Texas, Utah, Tennessee, Georgia,
43:21
Speaker 1: and the Carolinas, draining at a New York, Illinois, New Mexico, Massachusetts,
43:25
Speaker 1: New Jersey, California, and Hawaii. The obvious success of one
43:30
Speaker 1: model and the obvious failure of another is documented with
43:33
Speaker 1: every one way U Haul rental, and it conjures up
43:38
Speaker 1: the mind a future Mondami video, one in which the
43:42
Speaker 1: mayor is still raving about injustice, but nobody has left
43:47
Speaker 1: in New York to hear him. Kimberly Strassel, thank you
43:50
Speaker 1: for allow me interject my personal comments. Kim Strassele, I
43:53
Speaker 1: appreciate what you do. FIREE seven fifty dred and two
43:57
Speaker 1: three talk. Got CJ on the line, Hang on, brother,
44:00

44:14
Speaker 1: great thing, David, call your mom. Call my mom every
44:21
Speaker 1: single day and I Mom, I enjoy talking with you.
44:25

44:28
Speaker 1: enjoy catching up with you. Even only one day's activity
44:31
Speaker 1: is worth. Uh So call your mom. Let's go to
44:33
Speaker 1: the phone. See what CJ's got this morning. You two
44:35
Speaker 1: can call five one, three, seven, four nine fifty eight
44:37
Speaker 1: hundred and eight two three talk or hit pound five
44:39
Speaker 1: fifty if you have an AT and T phone. CJ,
44:41
Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning.
44:42
Speaker 7: Happy Friday, Oh, Happy Friday to.
44:45
Speaker 12: You, and best wishes for your chemo and everything goes
44:49
Speaker 12: well over the next week for you.
44:51
Speaker 1: Thank you very to you, Thank you very very much.
44:56
Speaker 12: First and foremost, after that is this is real that
45:01
Speaker 12: you're looking at this, And there's a reason why Democrats
45:04
Speaker 12: are just going crazy over redistricting. Not only could they
45:08
Speaker 12: lose you know, twelve seats this cycle alone, just from
45:12
Speaker 12: redistricting third and twenty thirty two, they could lose up
45:16
Speaker 12: to another fourteen to fifteen seats in Congress and they
45:21
Speaker 12: will be shut out of Congress for over a generation
45:25
Speaker 12: just simply because their liberal policies have literally.
45:29
Speaker 7: Driven out not the rich, not.
45:31
Speaker 12: Necessarily the poor, because the rich can afford to live
45:34
Speaker 12: in California one hundred and eighty days a year for
45:38
Speaker 12: all the nice weather live outside of California for one
45:42
Speaker 12: hundred and eighty six or one hundred and eighty five
45:44
Speaker 12: days a year in order to avoid the taxes. And
45:49
Speaker 12: that's never going to change. And the poor will always
45:52
Speaker 12: be in California right now due to all the crazy
45:55
Speaker 12: stuff that they hand out. But the middle class is
45:59
Speaker 12: just completely bailed.
46:00
Speaker 7: And there is one thing that you.
46:02
Speaker 12: Can look at where you know the middle class is left.
46:05
Speaker 12: Try getting a U haul to lose California. It is
46:08
Speaker 12: next to impossible. I heard that it is next to impossible.
46:13
Speaker 12: You could it is cheaper to go to Yuma to
46:16
Speaker 12: bring it back to San Diego, pay the mileage and
46:19
Speaker 12: come to Ohio than it is to get the U
46:22
Speaker 12: haul out of San Diego.
46:23
Speaker 1: Well, according to that analysis, almost half. I was just
46:26
Speaker 1: gonna say, according to the analysis that I read from,
46:29
Speaker 1: people aren't choosing Ohio. We have lost one hundred and
46:31
Speaker 1: six billion dollars. Is for the same reasons in California.
46:34
Speaker 1: I guess has people aren't choosing Ohio as a destination state.
46:38
Speaker 1: So maybe that U haul is actually going to Florida
46:40
Speaker 1: or Texas or one of the other states that has
46:42
Speaker 1: better taxation, regulatory environments.
46:46
Speaker 12: Oh and to be honest with you, it is like
46:50
Speaker 12: you don't even you feel like you're going to have
46:51
Speaker 12: it here in Ohio versus California. The only thing that
46:55
Speaker 12: is more expensive is property taxes, and that's why that
46:58
Speaker 12: is such a big issue here. And I will also
47:00
Speaker 12: say this, when you start getting mayors like you do
47:04
Speaker 12: in Seattle and Mom Donnie in New York, that mayor
47:07
Speaker 12: in Seattle is a godsend to Republicans and even to
47:12
Speaker 12: Rhinos because when she's sitting there laughing from her literally
47:16
Speaker 12: lives in her mother's basement, still at forty five years
47:19
Speaker 12: old with her husband, has never even lived barely in
47:22
Speaker 12: an apartment for more than a couple of months at
47:25
Speaker 12: a time on her own. And when she's telling Howard
47:29
Speaker 12: Schultz at Starbucks, who is one of the most liberal
47:33
Speaker 12: people in the world, that by we don't want you here,
47:37
Speaker 12: and he takes his company off to Tennessee with that,
47:41
Speaker 12: you know, what's happening in Seattle is going to get
47:44
Speaker 12: just gross. It's gonna get absolutely horrible. And the problem
47:49
Speaker 12: with this is is like in the book Animal Farm,
47:53
Speaker 12: the ending, the good guys don't win because the bad
47:56
Speaker 12: guys still.
47:57
Speaker 7: Have power, and it is the ending is.
48:00
Speaker 12: Incredibly depressing because the bad guys will never lose it
48:04
Speaker 12: because everybody thinks it will only get better well, and
48:07
Speaker 12: Seattle will continually fall down that rabbit hole until it's.
48:10
Speaker 1: Too late, and then the people in charge will have
48:13
Speaker 1: power over a wasteland. Because currently anyway, we have the
48:18
Speaker 1: freedom of travel in this country. Think about that as
48:21
Speaker 1: they try to stuff you into a remote controlled electronic vehicle.
48:24
Speaker 1: Can you get out of dodge in the future? I
48:26
Speaker 1: think they're planning for that, And Ken, I get to
48:28
Speaker 1: thank you CJ awesome comments you got. Can we have
48:30
Speaker 1: time for a quick call from j Jo. Real fast, Jay,
48:33
Speaker 1: you got in the tailing of the segment. Welcome to
48:34
Speaker 1: the program.
48:35
Speaker 13: Happy Friday, Hey, Happy Friday, Brian. Hey, great information regarding
48:40
Speaker 13: red state versus blue state. But that's almost suggesting it's
48:43
Speaker 13: binary data. But the results has proven by Ohio.
48:47
Speaker 14: Sounds like there's more like a spectrum HEREO is proving
48:51
Speaker 14: that you have a rhino states that says they're blue,
48:55
Speaker 14: or it says they're red but act blue.
48:58
Speaker 10: We could still lose.
48:59
Speaker 13: Which is why it is so important to show.
49:01
Speaker 14: Up for primaries, because that's when we.
49:03
Speaker 13: Get to choose how conservative our leadership is. If you
49:07
Speaker 13: want to have a good state that you can or
49:09
Speaker 13: hand off to the kids and the grandkids, we've got
49:11
Speaker 13: to do better. But I thought that that was fantastic data.
49:15
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jan. I'm really glad to hear back from you.
49:17
Speaker 1: And you know, you have fifty states to choose from,
49:20
Speaker 1: so you have a choice between fifty or better options.
49:25
Speaker 1: And then, of course, if you're in California, the degrees
49:27
Speaker 1: of better Ohio might look better. Just one of a
49:31
Speaker 1: sort of on an Apple's Apples comparison to the data.
49:33
Speaker 1: But Texas and Florida and other places. Tennessee are so
49:37
Speaker 1: much better, so we start competing as a quote unquote
49:40
Speaker 1: red state against other red states who are more conservative
49:43
Speaker 1: and offer a better regulatory environment for individuals and businesses.
49:46
Speaker 1: Of course, that analysis is going on real time, and
49:49
Speaker 1: of course that's why, in spite of the fact that
49:50
Speaker 1: we're so much better than California, Illinois, New York, we
49:53
Speaker 1: are on the losing end of people packing up and
49:56
Speaker 1: moving out, to the tune of one hundred and six
49:58
Speaker 1: billion dollars in loss. You can still give a U
50:01
Speaker 1: haul here in Ohio. Just point it out. Thank you,
50:03
Speaker 1: Jay could to hear from you. Six twenty six fifty
50:05
Speaker 1: six thirty one fifty by Kercity Talkstation. Happy Friday always
50:08
Speaker 1: made well. The information may not make you happy, but
50:10
Speaker 1: it's valuable. Interest it dot com is where you find
50:14
Speaker 1: Dave Hatter and tech Friday. You can find Dave online,
50:16
Speaker 1: get the resources he used in support of his comments
50:19
Speaker 1: on this segment at LinkedIn dot com. To search for Dave,
50:22
Speaker 1: how do you'll find He's got his substack list and
50:24
Speaker 1: he'll tell you all about it in full detail. Dave Hatter,
50:26
Speaker 1: Welcome back in a very Happy Friday. To you and
50:28
Speaker 1: thank you to interest it your company for sponsoring this segment.
50:32
Speaker 1: Business Career says you guys are the best in the
50:34
Speaker 1: business when it comes to business computer needs. Could you
50:36
Speaker 1: have you back on sir?
50:37
Speaker 3: Always my pleasure, Brian. I look forward to it each week.
50:40
Speaker 1: Uh, people have lost billions to social media scams, consistent
50:44
Speaker 1: with literally everything you've told us every week for the
50:46
Speaker 1: past couple of years there, Dave, Yeah.
50:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, unfortunately, Brian. You know, I always hate to be
50:51
Speaker 3: the bear or bad news, but I think it's good
50:54
Speaker 3: to get some external validation of this sort of thing.
50:58
Speaker 3: You know, I do talk about this stuff a lot.
51:01
Speaker 3: I do a lot of in person presentations on this,
51:04
Speaker 3: and you know, talk to a lot of medium and
51:05
Speaker 3: small businesses. And I fully understand why people don't believe
51:09
Speaker 3: the doom. I understand why people don't want to think
51:12
Speaker 3: about this stuff. I mean, I get it right, But
51:15
Speaker 3: I think it's it's important for folks to be able
51:17
Speaker 3: to go out and see these government agencies that are
51:20
Speaker 3: collecting data about these incidents and attacks and threats and
51:25
Speaker 3: such that are out there. Because it's one thing to
51:27
Speaker 3: go to Microsoft or Google or any of these big
51:30
Speaker 3: tech companies who are ultimately trying to sell you something.
51:32
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's another thing to come talk to
51:34
Speaker 3: someone like me who ultimately, at the end of the day,
51:36
Speaker 3: is trying to sell you something. Right, But the FTC
51:40
Speaker 3: is not trying to sell you anything. Nor is the FBI.
51:43
Speaker 3: And you know, there are two agencies that roll up
51:45
Speaker 3: a lot of this data. So in this FTC report,
51:48
Speaker 3: you know, the FBI every year, and we've talked about
51:50
Speaker 3: it many times, puts out a report. Maybe we'll talk
51:52
Speaker 3: about that one next week because it goes into a
51:54
Speaker 3: lot more detail than this. This is focused exclusively on
51:57
Speaker 3: social media. But just think about that for a second.
52:02
Speaker 3: Billions of dollars just in social media loan. You know,
52:06
Speaker 3: they're saying over two point one billion, and I need
52:08
Speaker 3: to remind folks that's just what was reported. Yeah, you
52:11
Speaker 3: know a lot of these crimes are not there's no
52:14
Speaker 3: requirement to report them, especially if you're an individual. I
52:18
Speaker 3: saw an FBI agent. There's there's an agent organization called Infraguard.
52:21
Speaker 3: It's a public private partnership with the FBI and people
52:26
Speaker 3: like me, companies like Intrust and other companies around town.
52:28
Speaker 3: There's a Cincinnati chapter. In fact, one of my colleagues
52:31
Speaker 3: runs it, and the whole idea is just information sharing,
52:35
Speaker 3: trying to share with the FBI what we're seeing, trying
52:37
Speaker 3: to hear from the FBI what they're seeing. Strong focus
52:40
Speaker 3: on critical infrastructure, which you and I talk about all
52:42
Speaker 3: the time, and I saw an FBI agent at one
52:44
Speaker 3: of these events say they believe that only maybe ten
52:48
Speaker 3: to twenty percent of all the actual crime that's happened
52:51
Speaker 3: is ever reported to them. So my point, yeah, my
52:54
Speaker 3: point even with this FTC thing, Brian, is that you know,
52:56
Speaker 3: at two point one billion dollars for one year, they
52:59
Speaker 3: say an eight x increase since twenty twenty. That's just
53:02
Speaker 3: what they know about, so I can guarantee you the
53:05
Speaker 3: number is a lot larger. And the point I'm trying
53:07
Speaker 3: to get to is folks need to be skeptical. They
53:10
Speaker 3: need to understand that social media is nothing more than
53:13
Speaker 3: a giant channel for bad guys to get in to
53:18
Speaker 3: get to you. Right, most of the criminals conducting this
53:21
Speaker 3: fraud are not super technical wizards. They're not the elon
53:25
Speaker 3: musks of cybercrime, if you will. They're con artists who
53:29
Speaker 3: are using technology to get to you and steal your money,
53:32
Speaker 3: and if I can get on Facebook and find you know,
53:35
Speaker 3: several billion users or TikTok, Instagram, fill in the blank,
53:40
Speaker 3: even things I wouldn't personally think of as much as
53:43
Speaker 3: social media discord, Reddit, Slack, even video games. Right, there
53:47
Speaker 3: are hundreds of thousands, millions, possibly billions of people in
53:51
Speaker 3: these virtual spaces. If I can get in there, create
53:55
Speaker 3: a fake profile, pretend to be someone else, whether it's
53:58
Speaker 3: a romance scam, which continue to be one of the
54:01
Speaker 3: top ways people lose money, or it's a hey, I
54:04
Speaker 3: made a bunch of money in bitcoin or gold or
54:07
Speaker 3: whatever it is. Right, they're connors. They'll say whatever they
54:10
Speaker 3: need to say. Yeah, they'll they'll learn about you through
54:13
Speaker 3: your profile and the things you're posting online. They might
54:16
Speaker 3: you know, see look at your friends, and then create
54:19
Speaker 3: a fake profile as one of your so called friends
54:21
Speaker 3: that you don't really know. The point being they're professional
54:25
Speaker 3: on artists using social media to reach you and then
54:28
Speaker 3: unfortunately scam you, as this article points.
54:31
Speaker 1: Out, you know, Dave and one thing that just popped
54:33
Speaker 1: on my head this is this is like a televangelists
54:37
Speaker 1: on steroids. You know, there's people that build people. Oh,
54:41
Speaker 1: you need to send in you know X amount of
54:43
Speaker 1: money for Jesus or whatever, and you know, you find
54:45
Speaker 1: out that they're just spending on a lavish lifestyles. It
54:47
Speaker 1: doesn't go to help people at all. This is like
54:50
Speaker 1: that just exponentially increased. The net that you cast is
54:57
Speaker 1: so much wider. With billions of people in the world,
55:00
Speaker 1: you need some fraction of a percentage point to make
55:02
Speaker 1: yourself millions of dollars. That's what it comes down to.
55:04
Speaker 3: That's exactly right, Brian. And it says in here most
55:07
Speaker 3: of these scams that they again that were reported, it's
55:10
Speaker 3: not all scams. They don't know about all scams.
55:11
Speaker 1: That's why I thought the religious minded out there, because
55:14
Speaker 1: they probably wouldn't want to reveal that they have been
55:16
Speaker 1: ripped off with some religious scam going on out there.
55:19
Speaker 1: Exercise and abundance of caution.
55:22
Speaker 3: Yes, And I just remind folks, even though I get
55:25
Speaker 3: that it might be embarrassing if you fall and prey
55:27
Speaker 3: to one of these scams, it is valuable for you
55:29
Speaker 3: to report it to the FTC or the FBI. Maybe
55:32
Speaker 3: it's some novel new approach they haven't seen before. They
55:35
Speaker 3: can warrant about it. Plus it gives them more accurate
55:37
Speaker 3: statistics to help paint a stronger picture of what's really
55:40
Speaker 3: happening out there. But if you read this FTC article again,
55:43
Speaker 3: I'll post it on my substack and link it from
55:46
Speaker 3: LinkedIn and acts and such. You know, they talk about
55:49
Speaker 3: some of the main types of scams out there. They
55:51
Speaker 3: say that Facebook is by far the biggest mechanism for
55:54
Speaker 3: the scams that were reported, but it's everywhere. It's all
55:57
Speaker 3: the platforms. So yeah, folks, skeptical that soulmate you found
56:02
Speaker 3: on Facebook or TikTok or whatever that seems to know
56:04
Speaker 3: everything about you and like it has all the same
56:06
Speaker 3: interests as you. Well, that may be because they see
56:08
Speaker 3: everything you've posted and they're just turning the dials, you know,
56:12
Speaker 3: based on what they know about you to create that
56:14
Speaker 3: rapport and relationship.
56:15
Speaker 1: Don't go away. Modern headphones tracking more than just music
56:18
Speaker 1: And I know kidding. Dave had her on that next
56:20
Speaker 1: first butt overmotors cautation. Thanks to interest it dot Calm
56:25
Speaker 1: for bringing Dave hat or here I'm thinking about Theresey
56:26
Speaker 1: morning sure every week of Talk Tech. Oh I laugh
56:29
Speaker 1: when I saw this one. No kidding, Modern headphones tracking
56:34
Speaker 1: more than just music, Dave Internet of things. Maybe.
56:37
Speaker 3: Ah well, Brian, as you know, I'm not a huge
56:40
Speaker 3: fan of the Internet of Things. Oh you talk about
56:42
Speaker 3: this all the time. Yeah, And for what it's worth,
56:46
Speaker 3: I created a separate substack where all I'm doing now
56:50
Speaker 3: is just collecting articles like this so people can see
56:54
Speaker 3: for themselves that when you hear me talk about why
56:57
Speaker 3: you don't want a room to sweeper or some kind
56:59
Speaker 3: of IoT doorbell or whatever. And again, folks, reminder, Internet
57:03
Speaker 3: of things, smart device, it's your internet connected coffee maker, doorbell, refrigerator,
57:09
Speaker 3: washer dryer, et cetera. But it's also your car now.
57:12
Speaker 3: I mean increasingly, yes.
57:15
Speaker 1: Down sensors in automobiles, Joe, that's coming our way. Sensors
57:19
Speaker 1: to detect your eye movements and your your focus on driving. Least,
57:22
Speaker 1: you have a choice if you want an Internet of
57:24
Speaker 1: Things device or you don't. You have an option to
57:26
Speaker 1: not get it. This is going to be mandated. We
57:28
Speaker 1: are not going to have the freedom to choose whether
57:30
Speaker 1: we want to get an Internet of Things device or not.
57:33
Speaker 1: That frankly pisses me off.
57:36
Speaker 3: We should we should make a point to talk about
57:38
Speaker 3: that as a separate topic, Brian, And you know Rush
57:41
Speaker 3: predicted this in nineteen eighty one with the song Red Barchetta.
57:44
Speaker 3: We can oh, yeah, yeah, we can have Joe queue
57:46
Speaker 3: that up and well we can that the whole car
57:49
Speaker 3: space could easily we could talk about it for the
57:52
Speaker 3: whole thirty minute.
57:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that was a gleaming alloy aircar, not an
57:55
Speaker 1: electric vehicle in that in that song. Yeah, go ahead.
57:59
Speaker 3: A country place no one knows about anyhow. My problem
58:04
Speaker 3: with so much of this stuff is you get opted
58:07
Speaker 3: into things if they're collecting data that you don't understand
58:11
Speaker 3: or even possibly believe it can be collecting. You don't
58:14
Speaker 3: know where it's going, you don't know who has access
58:16
Speaker 3: to it, you don't know who it's being sold to.
58:18
Speaker 3: You don't know what the consequences to you are of that.
58:20
Speaker 3: And so much of these so called smart devices. You know,
58:23
Speaker 3: as I say all the time, they're not geared towards
58:26
Speaker 3: your privacy and security. That's not the incentive for them
58:28
Speaker 3: to be in the market. They're geared towards ease of use,
58:31
Speaker 3: market share, speed to market, and collecting as much of
58:33
Speaker 3: your data as possible, because the data is where the
58:35
Speaker 3: real money is. Look at the profit margins of companies
58:38
Speaker 3: like Google and Meta who basically make virtually nothing. They
58:43
Speaker 3: just provide so called free services to you, collect your
58:46
Speaker 3: data and turn in you know, billions and billions of
58:48
Speaker 3: dollars a year. But this was an interesting art article
58:52
Speaker 3: came from the Wirecutter section of the Times. They focus
58:55
Speaker 3: exclusively on technology, and I just want to read a
58:58
Speaker 3: little bit of it here. So again, this isn't my opinion.
59:00
Speaker 3: This is what the report and the editors you know,
59:02
Speaker 3: have turned up from their research. Over time, they've added microphones,
59:07
Speaker 3: control buttons, and bluetooth chips, meaning of the headphones. Those
59:11
Speaker 3: chips have become increasingly advanced in line manufacturers to add
59:13
Speaker 3: features like adaptive active noise cancelation, heart rate tracking, body
59:17
Speaker 3: temperature measurement, location tracking on BOYD voice controls, AI power
59:21
Speaker 3: transcription and translation, audiogram based sound adjustment, and even brainwave
59:25
Speaker 3: monitoring activity. So you plug these things into your ears
59:30
Speaker 3: and they're potentially capturing all this and maybe more data
59:33
Speaker 3: depending on the advanced nature of the sensors that are
59:36
Speaker 3: in these things. Where is that data going? You know,
59:38
Speaker 3: if it's an Apple AirPod, is it only going to Apple?
59:41
Speaker 3: Do you care that Apple has all this information? Maybe not?
59:44
Speaker 3: I do I wouldn't use any of this. But if
59:46
Speaker 3: it's not Apple, if it's some third party brand, So
59:49
Speaker 3: now it's going to your phone, it's going to this
59:51
Speaker 3: third party, who knows where it's going, who knows what
59:53
Speaker 3: they're doing with it, who knows who they might be
59:55
Speaker 3: selling it to. There's no hip or protection on any
59:58
Speaker 3: of this health related data or people making decisions about
1:00:01
Speaker 3: whether they should rent to you or whether they should
1:00:03
Speaker 3: provide insurance to you as a result of data like
1:00:06
Speaker 3: this that they're buying. Maybe, So again, I'm not inherently
1:00:10
Speaker 3: against this stuff, Brian, I'm against the fact that it's
1:00:14
Speaker 3: the capabilities are rapidly increasing, the data collection is rapidly increasing.
1:00:18
Speaker 3: People don't understand what data is collected, they don't understand
1:00:21
Speaker 3: how it can be used, they don't understand how to
1:00:23
Speaker 3: turn it off, and that it's almost always they opt
1:00:26
Speaker 3: you in as soon as you sign up. And if
1:00:28
Speaker 3: you don't want these sorts of capabilities, if they're even
1:00:31
Speaker 3: if they can even be disabled, you have to dig
1:00:33
Speaker 3: down into it and figure out how to turn it off.
1:00:36
Speaker 3: So I would encourage people before you buy any IoT device,
1:00:40
Speaker 3: but especially something that is touching your body and potentially
1:00:44
Speaker 3: collect this sort of very sensitive data about you with
1:00:47
Speaker 3: zero privacy protection outder than whatever they claim they'll do. Again,
1:00:50
Speaker 3: there's no hippo or anything like that. You should think
1:00:53
Speaker 3: about it. You should read the privacy policy, which will
1:00:55
Speaker 3: probably be an eighty page confuse optly of mumbo jumbo
1:00:58
Speaker 3: that will be completely InCom prehensible, and then you know,
1:01:02
Speaker 3: choose accordingly. There's nothing wrong with getting headphones that have
1:01:04
Speaker 3: a cord to plug into your device and don't do
1:01:07
Speaker 3: any of this stuff.
1:01:07
Speaker 1: Got some of those on right now, Dave Hatter. Yes,
1:01:10
Speaker 1: Dave Hatter. We'll continue with Dave. We'll talk about researchers tracking.
1:01:14
Speaker 1: Oh look five P fifty and fifty five kr CD
1:01:17
Speaker 1: talk station after the top of the our news Dave
1:01:19
Speaker 1: Vollyams from the Taxpayer Protection Alliance. Great topics with Dave
1:01:22
Speaker 1: is always hope you can stick around for that. Meantime,
1:01:24
Speaker 1: another Dave. Dave Hatter's on the phone Tech Friday with
1:01:26
Speaker 1: Dave Hatter, Intrust dot Com and look compromise credentials Dave Hatter.
1:01:32
Speaker 3: Pretty significant numbers, it is, Brian, and I want to
1:01:36
Speaker 3: want to just start out and tell you that you
1:01:38
Speaker 3: occasionally because people see me out talking about this because
1:01:42
Speaker 3: I'm on the radio or TV or whatever. You know,
1:01:44
Speaker 3: people will just individuals will call at Intrust and want
1:01:48
Speaker 3: help with this, you know. And unfortunately, as a business,
1:01:51
Speaker 3: you know, we don't really come out and help individuals.
1:01:54
Speaker 3: It just doesn't make sense financially. But I always try
1:01:57
Speaker 3: to be helpful for folks because again I understand how
1:02:00
Speaker 3: problematic some of this stuff can be. And I had
1:02:02
Speaker 3: a very nice lady call. She thinks that, you know,
1:02:05
Speaker 3: perhaps some of her devices, her Internet of Things devices
1:02:08
Speaker 3: we just talked about. And when I post my links,
1:02:11
Speaker 3: Brian again, I'll post the links specifically to just the
1:02:14
Speaker 3: substack I've started on the Internet of Things, And all
1:02:17
Speaker 3: I'm really doing is is just showing a list of
1:02:19
Speaker 3: all the different problems that are keep cropping up in
1:02:21
Speaker 3: the news, and think concerns you should have. She thinks
1:02:24
Speaker 3: her devices are compromised. So we have a conversation and
1:02:28
Speaker 3: we get back to passwords and multi factor authentication. Now,
1:02:31
Speaker 3: I want to be clear, multi factor authentication is not bulletproof.
1:02:34
Speaker 3: It's increasingly being defeated, but it still makes you way
1:02:37
Speaker 3: more secure than people who don't have it, especially when
1:02:40
Speaker 3: you've used the same password across all your devices. Then
1:02:43
Speaker 3: you know that's kind of what this article is talking about. Here.
1:02:45
Speaker 3: Another recent article from Security Week, a very well known
1:02:48
Speaker 3: magazine that nerds like me read, analysis of six billion
1:02:51
Speaker 3: passwords shows stagnant user behavior. Most common stolen passwords one two, three, four,
1:02:56
Speaker 3: five six adminuted password. So not only do the bad
1:02:59
Speaker 3: guys know that people have these bad habits, and they'll
1:03:02
Speaker 3: use a week password on all their accounts or multiple accounts.
1:03:06
Speaker 3: Think about this for a second, Brian, do you think
1:03:11
Speaker 3: that it would be harder to pack through someone's firewall
1:03:14
Speaker 3: and get into their systems to do whatever Nefari's teach
1:03:17
Speaker 3: you want? Then it would be to guess crack or
1:03:21
Speaker 3: buy a password off the dark web and just walk
1:03:23
Speaker 3: right into your accounts.
1:03:24
Speaker 1: I think the latter is the obvious answer to that.
1:03:26
Speaker 1: But everybody should be using password one two three as
1:03:29
Speaker 1: their password.
1:03:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, make sure you do that, and when you do,
1:03:33
Speaker 3: just go ahead and take all your money put it
1:03:35
Speaker 3: in a pile on the front stoop with a sign
1:03:37
Speaker 3: in the front yard that says this is steal my
1:03:39
Speaker 3: money if you're using these weak passwords real.
1:03:43
Speaker 1: Quick, Dave, going back to your point about information sharing,
1:03:45
Speaker 1: I don't care I've got nothing. I don't care if
1:03:46
Speaker 1: they take my information. What about your dog's name or
1:03:48
Speaker 1: what about something like that? People use their dog's name
1:03:50
Speaker 1: or their mother's name or whatever. Regular things that people
1:03:53
Speaker 1: can easily find on the internet will be tried and
1:03:56
Speaker 1: the neffortble you made all the normal stuff that people
1:03:59
Speaker 1: kind of de fault to. So do something really less.
1:04:02
Speaker 1: Are on weird and get a password manager right day.
1:04:04
Speaker 3: Matter that's exactly right. Get a password manager. Turn on
1:04:08
Speaker 3: MFA for all your accounts. The password manager, I would
1:04:11
Speaker 3: recommend one password. It's number one password. I'll put this
1:04:15
Speaker 3: in the links today too. There are other good password
1:04:18
Speaker 3: managers out there keeper you can use like c net,
1:04:21
Speaker 3: zd net, various magazines to see what their editors think
1:04:24
Speaker 3: of various password managers. But whether you get a password
1:04:28
Speaker 3: manager or not, which I recommend, you need strong unique
1:04:31
Speaker 3: passwords on all your accounts. Again, if I'm a criminal,
1:04:34
Speaker 3: and I can use a tool that will just attempt
1:04:36
Speaker 3: to brute force your passwords until it guesses one or
1:04:39
Speaker 3: to your point, I can see your dog's name, your
1:04:42
Speaker 3: kid's name, or whatever online. Again, six billion passwords shows
1:04:46
Speaker 3: these patterns. The bad guys know what people who aren't
1:04:50
Speaker 3: ten four hat nuts like me are doing. They know,
1:04:53
Speaker 3: and I want to. I want to make one last
1:04:54
Speaker 3: point before we run out of time, folks, if you
1:04:57
Speaker 3: don't have strong unique passwords and MFA on your critical
1:05:00
Speaker 3: accounts like your bank account and so forth, you're going
1:05:02
Speaker 3: to get hacked. But I would also tell you, and
1:05:04
Speaker 3: I hear this all the time, why I don't care.
1:05:06
Speaker 3: I don't have anything in my email. Think about this
1:05:08
Speaker 3: for a second, prime and all your listeners. If you've
1:05:11
Speaker 3: had to reset a password on any account before, how
1:05:13
Speaker 3: does that typically work? Well? It sends an email to
1:05:16
Speaker 3: the email address on file for you, and then you
1:05:19
Speaker 3: click a link, You go in, you enter a new password.
1:05:22
Speaker 3: You're good to go. If I can get into your email,
1:05:25
Speaker 3: I can see every password reset you've done. I can
1:05:28
Speaker 3: see everyone you've done business with if you've ever gotten
1:05:30
Speaker 3: an email from them. If I can get into your
1:05:32
Speaker 3: email account, I can change your password, lock you out
1:05:36
Speaker 3: of the account, and now start resetting the passwords on
1:05:39
Speaker 3: all of your accounts, including your bank. I now owned you.
1:05:43
Speaker 3: I can wreck your life. I can steal all of
1:05:45
Speaker 3: your money by taking over your email account. Happy, I must, Yes,
1:05:49
Speaker 3: you must have a strong password, unique password on your
1:05:52
Speaker 3: email account and any critical account. You must turn an
1:05:55
Speaker 3: MFA and a year after year, these password analysis like
1:05:58
Speaker 3: this of the data that's leaked again the billion six
1:06:01
Speaker 3: billion in this one case, the bad guys know how
1:06:04
Speaker 3: to get your stuff strong unique password, MFA at minimum
1:06:08
Speaker 3: Password manager, do it today.
1:06:10
Speaker 1: Two factor authentication, yes, do it, do it. It can
1:06:14
Speaker 1: be a pain from time to time, but I really
1:06:16
Speaker 1: really get a lot of comfort from the two factor
1:06:19
Speaker 1: authentication because I'm the only ones got the cell phone.
1:06:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, and keep in mind bran that know itself again
1:06:25
Speaker 3: not bulletproof, No, you can work around that, but it's
1:06:27
Speaker 3: it's much much harder. And in most cases there, unless
1:06:31
Speaker 3: you are being targeted, they're just gonna move on. They
1:06:33
Speaker 3: don't want to spend too it three days there you
1:06:35
Speaker 3: go attacking you when they can walk right into someone
1:06:37
Speaker 3: else's account and take whatever it is they want.
1:06:39
Speaker 1: Right like speed bumps on a road, you're gonna drive
1:06:41
Speaker 1: slower because you can't crash the speed bumps. Screw that,
1:06:43
Speaker 1: I'm gonna move on to something else and go after
1:06:45
Speaker 1: someone who hasn't listened to dave hat or interest it
1:06:48
Speaker 1: dot com and of course LinkedIn dot com. Search for
1:06:51
Speaker 1: Dave hat Or you'll find him, get the links to
1:06:53
Speaker 1: these stories and all the other things that he's doing
1:06:54
Speaker 1: throughout the week. Keep up the great work, and thanks
1:06:56
Speaker 1: to all the help you provide businesses in the Tri
1:06:59
Speaker 1: State area through in trust it find them again online
1:07:02
Speaker 1: interest it dot com. We'll do it again next Friday.
1:07:05
Speaker 1: Dave hat Ter, have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend, my
1:07:07
Speaker 1: friend seven oh five fifty five KR City Talk Station.
1:07:13
Speaker 1: Regular listeners know that bumper music is in honor of
1:07:17
Speaker 1: my next guest from the Taxpayer Protection Alliance. You can
1:07:20
Speaker 1: find them online at Protecting Taxpayers dot org. Dave Williams,
1:07:25
Speaker 1: my friend, welcome back to the morning show. A very
1:07:26
Speaker 1: happy Friday and a happy Mother's Day weekend.
1:07:28
Speaker 11: You sir, good morning.
1:07:31
Speaker 15: And I feel like that's my walk up music. You
1:07:33
Speaker 15: know how batters have walk up music.
1:07:35
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, this is mine.
1:07:36
Speaker 1: This is this is my walk up mine. Mine is
1:07:38
Speaker 1: Animal by the band Tool. I've been playing that as
1:07:41
Speaker 1: the opening song for my fifty five cars morning show
1:07:43
Speaker 1: since pretty much. I started a solo career on the
1:07:45
Speaker 1: morning show nineteen years ago, and they play that when
1:07:49
Speaker 1: I do speeches. It always cracks me up because The
1:07:51
Speaker 1: lyrics aren't exactly FCC compliant, but they sum up my
1:07:55
Speaker 1: mentality come one hundred percent. So check it out for yourself. Anyway,
1:07:58
Speaker 1: Dave Williams, we are going to dive into f let's
1:08:01
Speaker 1: see here, democracy and artificial intelligence.
1:08:06
Speaker 15: Yeah, this is fascinating, Brian, because obviously artificial intelligence AI
1:08:10
Speaker 15: is really kind.
1:08:11
Speaker 11: Of taking over, and it has been for a number
1:08:13
Speaker 11: of years.
1:08:14
Speaker 15: And I think that's what people don't realize is that
1:08:16
Speaker 15: we have been using artificial intelligence a lot for the
1:08:19
Speaker 15: past ten, fifteen, twenty years.
1:08:21
Speaker 11: I mean, listen, spell check, that's AI.
1:08:24
Speaker 15: I mean, obviously the most simple of AI, but it is,
1:08:27
Speaker 15: and it's making businesses more efficient, it's improving people's lives.
1:08:32
Speaker 15: But that doesn't mean we turn a blind eye to
1:08:35
Speaker 15: what the potential is. But also some of the pitfalls
1:08:38
Speaker 15: and some of the problems with AI, and a lot
1:08:40
Speaker 15: of people are concerned.
1:08:41
Speaker 1: What are the pitfalls and problems? Since you mentioned spellcheck,
1:08:44
Speaker 1: I think it is responsible for dumbing people down a lot.
1:08:48
Speaker 1: I have become less able to spell a given probably
1:08:52
Speaker 1: more complex word. I can still spell the word the
1:08:56
Speaker 1: but if I'm thinking of a word that typically can
1:08:58
Speaker 1: be misspelled. You used to have to really I on
1:09:00
Speaker 1: your own intellect and memory and or just go to
1:09:02
Speaker 1: a dictionary to look it up, which I think serve
1:09:04
Speaker 1: to help improve your intellect because you don't have to
1:09:06
Speaker 1: do that every time. Once you learn how to properly
1:09:08
Speaker 1: spell a word. If you're using spell check, it's just
1:09:11
Speaker 1: like it's lazy boom and you move on and you
1:09:12
Speaker 1: didn't even think about it.
1:09:14
Speaker 11: Just yes, and there's grammar check.
1:09:18
Speaker 15: I mean, now you have I'm just which is uh,
1:09:22
Speaker 15: Now it's humbling, just say the least.
1:09:24
Speaker 1: It's humbling. But I think that is an often overlooked feature.
1:09:27
Speaker 1: If it's out in the world. I think a lot
1:09:28
Speaker 1: of people are ignoring that as a feature because you see,
1:09:30
Speaker 1: you see grammically and grammically incorrect things all the time,
1:09:33
Speaker 1: grammatically in correct things all the time. It's speaking in grammar.
1:09:37
Speaker 15: Speaking of yes, absolutely, And you know I do a
1:09:40
Speaker 15: lot of editing on a day to day basis.
1:09:42
Speaker 11: And yeah, I've seen some doozies.
1:09:46
Speaker 1: All right, sorry about driving out that cull to sect,
1:09:48
Speaker 1: but let's move on with this one. What's going on?
1:09:53
Speaker 1: What's what's further to this? We got stuck on spellcheck
1:09:56
Speaker 1: thanks to my spell.
1:09:58
Speaker 15: Really the democratization of open AI and making sure that
1:10:03
Speaker 15: there are guardrails right is right Now the states are
1:10:06
Speaker 15: looking to regulate artificial intelligence that you know, fifty states,
1:10:11
Speaker 15: you know, thousands of different bills. That's chaos, Brian, that's
1:10:15
Speaker 15: absolute chaos. Because if you're a business or you know,
1:10:17
Speaker 15: big or small, and you're trying to deal with Ohio,
1:10:21
Speaker 15: Kentucky and they have two different rules when.
1:10:23
Speaker 11: It comes to AI and how you can use it,
1:10:25
Speaker 11: that makes no sense.
1:10:26
Speaker 15: And listen, I'm not a big fan of the federal
1:10:28
Speaker 15: government legislating, but there has to be a national framework
1:10:31
Speaker 15: to put these guardrails up on AI and what we
1:10:34
Speaker 15: what they can do, what they can't do. So I
1:10:36
Speaker 15: think that's where and I hope that's the direction we're going.
1:10:39
Speaker 3: Now.
1:10:39
Speaker 15: What happened a few years ago, This is when Joe
1:10:42
Speaker 15: Biden was still president. He saw the movie Mission Impossible,
1:10:46
Speaker 15: where AI took over the world. And I mean, I'm
1:10:50
Speaker 15: not lying about this. It freaked him out and he said,
1:10:52
Speaker 15: we have to do something. And whenever the government says
1:10:55
Speaker 15: we have to do something, of course, it sends a
1:10:57
Speaker 15: chill down your spine. But when it comes to you know,
1:11:00
Speaker 15: and really, you know, privacy, internet privacy, and some other issues.
1:11:03
Speaker 11: The federal government needs to take the lead on this.
1:11:06
Speaker 15: I'm sorry, but it's just you can't have a patchwork
1:11:08
Speaker 15: of regulations across the country.
1:11:10
Speaker 1: And I understand that question is the growing opposition to
1:11:15
Speaker 1: AI generally speaking, price of electricity has gone up. People
1:11:18
Speaker 1: fear that the AI centers in their neighborhood's going to
1:11:20
Speaker 1: cause their bills to go back up. I know that's
1:11:22
Speaker 1: a great, a terrible thing, and that may be one
1:11:25
Speaker 1: of the great reasons for resisting it. However, this I point.
1:11:29
Speaker 1: I have concerns about AI generally speaking too, But the
1:11:32
Speaker 1: world is moving in this direction. If we don't get
1:11:35
Speaker 1: on top of it and get ahead of the rest
1:11:36
Speaker 1: of the world, and we refuse to adopt this type
1:11:39
Speaker 1: of technology, love it or hate it, it's coming and
1:11:41
Speaker 1: our failure to adopt it may be and motivated in
1:11:44
Speaker 1: part by some propaganda coming from around the world to
1:11:47
Speaker 1: tell us to not adopt it. I mean, there's all
1:11:50
Speaker 1: kinds of propaganda floating around, and people get ideas in
1:11:52
Speaker 1: their head that it's terrible and the end of the
1:11:54
Speaker 1: world's coming. But you know who benefits from that if
1:11:55
Speaker 1: we don't adopt it China, for example, the Chinese Communist
1:11:59
Speaker 1: Party and other foreign nations. I mean, you know, I
1:12:02
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to become of this, but apparently
1:12:04
Speaker 1: we need to be part of it, or we are.
1:12:05
Speaker 1: If we don't, it's to our own peril. Is there
1:12:07
Speaker 1: any truth behind my ramblings there, Dave had Dave Williams.
1:12:12
Speaker 11: There's a lot of truth behind that.
1:12:13
Speaker 15: And let's look at the data centers, and you know,
1:12:15
Speaker 15: people are concerned about the electricity usage. Absolutely should be right,
1:12:20
Speaker 15: but there's a lot of myths and realities with data
1:12:23
Speaker 15: centers or you know, you look at the water usage,
1:12:26
Speaker 15: and yes, they use a lot of water.
1:12:28
Speaker 11: You know what uses more water? Golf courses.
1:12:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm glad you brought that up because fun fact,
1:12:36
Speaker 1: the golf course water goes into the ground and therefore
1:12:38
Speaker 1: you can't use it or to any other purpose. It's
1:12:41
Speaker 1: basically quote unquote gone, although the plants enjoy the benefit
1:12:44
Speaker 1: of it. With AI centers, the water only cools the
1:12:47
Speaker 1: equipment but then is returned back to the water source.
1:12:49
Speaker 1: Am I wrong?
1:12:51
Speaker 11: No, You're absolutely right.
1:12:52
Speaker 15: And I don't see anyone with pitchforks at a golf
1:12:55
Speaker 15: course trying to shut them down.
1:12:56
Speaker 1: And don't give me idea data centers. I don't golf, Dave,
1:13:00
Speaker 1: and I choose not the golf rather, But you know,
1:13:02
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people who do. They will
1:13:04
Speaker 1: be upset by that.
1:13:06
Speaker 15: Yeah, and I mean, you know, data centers they're hiring
1:13:09
Speaker 15: people of really good jobs.
1:13:11
Speaker 11: They're talking about six figure jobs.
1:13:13
Speaker 15: And again, you know, no free ride for any tech company,
1:13:16
Speaker 15: for any company that they don't get to, you know,
1:13:19
Speaker 15: mooch off of the electric grid. They have to pay
1:13:22
Speaker 15: their fair share and more. And a lot of them
1:13:25
Speaker 15: are willing to do that. But you know it can't
1:13:27
Speaker 15: be corporate welfare, Brian. We can't say, okay, big tech,
1:13:30
Speaker 15: whatever you want, you get, That's not how it works.
1:13:33
Speaker 15: They have to pay for the upgrades and make sure
1:13:35
Speaker 15: that electricity prices don't surge in areas because of the
1:13:39
Speaker 15: data centers.
1:13:41
Speaker 1: Well, and there's some good that can come of this.
1:13:43
Speaker 1: I loved the fact that the folks behind the AI
1:13:46
Speaker 1: data centers are no longer global warming climate change fanatics.
1:13:50
Speaker 1: They realize that, Hm, we do need an abundance of power.
1:13:53
Speaker 1: Windmills and solar panels aren't going to provide it. Hey,
1:13:56
Speaker 1: how about we bring along and here my listening audience goes,
1:13:59
Speaker 1: we know what's common time, small modular reactors. They are
1:14:01
Speaker 1: embracing the idea that we should get hit the ground
1:14:04
Speaker 1: running with small modular reactors, small footprint. Apparently they've pretty
1:14:08
Speaker 1: much close to zero radioactive waste and they produce no
1:14:12
Speaker 1: carbon dioxide. Problem solved.
1:14:15
Speaker 15: Very cool, And they've been talking about this for a
1:14:17
Speaker 15: few years now, and I can't wait until the first
1:14:20
Speaker 15: one is deployed so people can see that these things
1:14:23
Speaker 15: actually work and that they're not dependent upon the grid
1:14:27
Speaker 15: and other people's electricity. And you know, this is something
1:14:30
Speaker 15: that you know, the first company that's able to do this,
1:14:33
Speaker 15: I think, is just going to pave the way for
1:14:35
Speaker 15: everybody else. But of course we have federal, state, and
1:14:39
Speaker 15: local governments standing in the way when it comes to permitting.
1:14:42
Speaker 15: You know, so many issues, brianding, you know, permitting water.
1:14:45
Speaker 15: It's just very complicated, but it's important to talk about.
1:14:49
Speaker 1: It's really important to talk about. Again we're going in
1:14:51
Speaker 1: that direction. I guess the larger problem is it's also impacting.
1:14:56
Speaker 1: I mean, we realize that our grid is insufficient to
1:14:58
Speaker 1: handle whatever power increases we want to put on them.
1:15:00
Speaker 1: So we've got a lot of rebuilding and upgrades to
1:15:05
Speaker 1: do in this country. It's going to come at a
1:15:06
Speaker 1: great expense, and it's going to take a really long
1:15:08
Speaker 1: time to get to where we need to be.
1:15:10
Speaker 11: Yeah, And you.
1:15:11
Speaker 15: Know, when I look at AI, I look at it
1:15:13
Speaker 15: as a tool. And just back you know, hundreds of
1:15:17
Speaker 15: years ago, when the first shovel was created, the shovel
1:15:20
Speaker 15: was a tool. Now you could pick up that shovel
1:15:22
Speaker 15: and hit someone over the head with it, right, You
1:15:24
Speaker 15: could still use it as a weapon. You can use
1:15:26
Speaker 15: AI as a weapon. But it's helping people. It's helping business.
1:15:29
Speaker 15: It's helping small business. That's what I don't think people
1:15:33
Speaker 15: kind of grasp is that AI is helping small business
1:15:35
Speaker 15: be more efficient.
1:15:37
Speaker 11: And that's good. We want more businesses to prosper and
1:15:41
Speaker 11: to thrive.
1:15:42
Speaker 1: We do, and then they're the correlator to that is,
1:15:44
Speaker 1: businesses often prosper and survive because things like AI streamline
1:15:48
Speaker 1: processes and therefore you do not need to hire someone
1:15:51
Speaker 1: to do something for the job. You can get AI
1:15:52
Speaker 1: to do it. And that's the rub and the whole analysis,
1:15:55
Speaker 1: isn't it.
1:15:56
Speaker 15: It is And as this society we have always adjusted.
1:16:00
Speaker 15: Did you know the Industrial Revolution. You know, we figured
1:16:03
Speaker 15: out that it doesn't.
1:16:04
Speaker 11: Take away jobs, it creates jobs. And I think AI
1:16:07
Speaker 11: is going to be the same. When we look back
1:16:08
Speaker 11: on this, we're.
1:16:09
Speaker 15: Going to see that it creates jobs. And like you said,
1:16:11
Speaker 15: we are in competition with China. China is a very
1:16:15
Speaker 15: you know you're gonna laugh when I say this, but
1:16:16
Speaker 15: a very permissive society. And when it comes to building things,
1:16:19
Speaker 15: because they don't have laws, they don't have regulations, they
1:16:22
Speaker 15: don't have permitting. If they want to build something, they
1:16:24
Speaker 15: build it. They don't ask any questions, they just do it.
1:16:27
Speaker 15: And that's why you know they're going to be ahead
1:16:29
Speaker 15: of us if we don't do something.
1:16:31
Speaker 1: Coming up, we've been talking about what today's favorite topics,
1:16:34
Speaker 1: considering his father died of lung cancer as being smoker.
1:16:37
Speaker 1: FBA is trying to help us out, help us, help you,
1:16:40
Speaker 1: just like they did during Prohibition when they banned alcohol
1:16:42
Speaker 1: because it was sinful and did bad things to people.
1:16:45
Speaker 1: That worked out great. Coming them up. Dave Williams Taxpayer
1:16:48
Speaker 1: Protection lines on.
1:16:49
Speaker 3: That station.
1:16:54
Speaker 1: Just Shya seven twenty here fifty five KCD talk station.
1:16:57
Speaker 1: It's Friday, doing that Taxpayer Protection Alliance discussion with our
1:17:01
Speaker 1: friend Dave Williams, the Taxpayer Protection Alliance. Find them online,
1:17:04
Speaker 1: learn what they do all the time. Maybe help them
1:17:06
Speaker 1: out you can. It's protecting Taxpayers dot org. Topic near
1:17:10
Speaker 1: and dear to your heart. You know, Dave Williams, I
1:17:11
Speaker 1: was doing my prep for yesterday yesterday for the show
1:17:13
Speaker 1: this morning, and I put your name right at the
1:17:17
Speaker 1: top of this article that I found, and lo and
1:17:19
Speaker 1: behold this morning when I woke up, you have a
1:17:21
Speaker 1: topic involving the FDA trying to engage in some harm
1:17:24
Speaker 1: product protection involving tobacco and vape products. Don't import UK's
1:17:30
Speaker 1: tobacco prohibition experiment to America America, writes Christina Smith in
1:17:34
Speaker 1: this op ed piece, Isn't it interesting? Tightening restrictions on
1:17:39
Speaker 1: vapes and other nicotine products does not reduce the demand.
1:17:43
Speaker 1: It just shifts people over to the black market. It
1:17:46
Speaker 1: does not slower cigarette smoking rate at all. In fact,
1:17:49
Speaker 1: you know, when you take away alternatives to real tobacco,
1:17:53
Speaker 1: people go back to real tobacco. And of course they've
1:17:57
Speaker 1: they've banned tobacco purchasing for anyone born honor after January first,
1:18:01
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine, permanently never allowed to buy tobacco
1:18:04
Speaker 1: products in the UK, but then they're taking away the
1:18:06
Speaker 1: vape options as well. This sounds like prohibition, David. That
1:18:09
Speaker 1: didn't work out too well, did it. What's the FDA
1:18:11
Speaker 1: doing now?
1:18:13
Speaker 15: Well, the FDA did something miraculous. Is that they approved
1:18:18
Speaker 15: flavored vapes for.
1:18:20
Speaker 1: At all ah, the opposite direction.
1:18:23
Speaker 11: Yes, and this was amazing.
1:18:24
Speaker 15: I think it was what mango and blueberry vapes for.
1:18:28
Speaker 15: And again for adults over twenty one. You know, if
1:18:31
Speaker 15: you were under twenty one, you were not allowed to
1:18:33
Speaker 15: buy these products, and you should not be allowed to
1:18:35
Speaker 15: buy these products. And you referenced my father. He was
1:18:39
Speaker 15: sixty three when he passed.
1:18:41
Speaker 11: I'm sixty. I turned sixty this year.
1:18:44
Speaker 15: It is frightening to think that I am three years
1:18:46
Speaker 15: away from the age where my father passed.
1:18:48
Speaker 11: Now, listen, I don't smoke, I don't vape. I don't
1:18:52
Speaker 11: use pouches. But people that do smoke, please find an
1:18:56
Speaker 11: alternative because cigarettes will kill you and they will destroy
1:19:00
Speaker 11: your life.
1:19:01
Speaker 15: And you know, whether it's pouches or again vaping or
1:19:04
Speaker 15: ease cigarettes, I encourage people because each products have been
1:19:08
Speaker 15: studied over and over again.
1:19:11
Speaker 11: You mentioned the UK. They're saying you can't.
1:19:13
Speaker 15: Smoke after you know, a certain age, well in two thousand,
1:19:17
Speaker 15: if you're born after two thousand and nine, that's not
1:19:20
Speaker 15: gonna stop smoking. What that's going to do is drive
1:19:23
Speaker 15: everything underground. We have seen this time and time again, Brian.
1:19:28
Speaker 15: Is that and you mentioned prohibition the same exact thing.
1:19:31
Speaker 15: There's gonna be cigarettes speakeasy in the UK. Mexico, the
1:19:36
Speaker 15: country of Mexico has banned vaping.
1:19:38
Speaker 11: The cartels are involved in vaping now oh yeah, from moving.
1:19:42
Speaker 15: Away from fentanyl, and they're involved in vaping because that's
1:19:46
Speaker 15: where the money is. It's because it's illegal, and government
1:19:50
Speaker 15: officials are clueless. They think that if you ban something,
1:19:53
Speaker 15: people stop doing it. No, they find another way to
1:19:57
Speaker 15: do it.
1:19:57
Speaker 11: It's human nature.
1:19:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know the odd thing about it is
1:20:01
Speaker 1: people out there in the world that demand will never
1:20:02
Speaker 1: go away. And then the epic stupidity that people this shows.
1:20:05
Speaker 1: It reflects the craziness of the demand. You mentioned cigarettes.
1:20:09
Speaker 1: If they don't start, you never get I mean, you
1:20:11
Speaker 1: won't get lung cancer from smoking, if you don't smoke,
1:20:14
Speaker 1: no kidding, you won't drop dead by injecting fentanyl. And
1:20:17
Speaker 1: yet people aware of the risk and knowing that it's
1:20:19
Speaker 1: out there in the world and watching their friends around
1:20:20
Speaker 1: them drop dead for years and years and years, they
1:20:23
Speaker 1: still do it. What I'm not advocating for the legalization
1:20:28
Speaker 1: of fentanyl necessarily that that experiment hasn't worked out real
1:20:31
Speaker 1: well in cities like Seattle. But you know, something be
1:20:34
Speaker 1: said that with the stupidity of people's human nature generally.
1:20:39
Speaker 15: And you know, at the heart of this is nicotine,
1:20:42
Speaker 15: right is We've had nicotine replacement therapies for years, for decades.
1:20:48
Speaker 15: Gum gum doesn't work for some people. But nicotine is
1:20:52
Speaker 15: not the problem.
1:20:53
Speaker 1: No, it isn't.
1:20:54
Speaker 11: It's the stuff that is wrapped in that tobacco heap,
1:20:57
Speaker 11: all the carcinogens that you're inhaling when you like that cigarette.
1:21:00
Speaker 11: And what you have now are different nicotine.
1:21:03
Speaker 15: Delivery systems, whether it's pouches, whether it's vapes. And you know,
1:21:07
Speaker 15: nicotine is like caffeine. You know, does it affect you. Absolutely,
1:21:11
Speaker 15: Caffeine effects you.
1:21:12
Speaker 11: I don't hear anyone trying to ban caffeine. And why
1:21:16
Speaker 11: not flavors again, my dad, my dad had a sweet tooth.
1:21:19
Speaker 11: I could totally see him with a vape with watermelon flavor.
1:21:23
Speaker 11: You know, cotton candy.
1:21:24
Speaker 15: The guy had a sweet tooth, right, and I wish
1:21:26
Speaker 15: these products were available in the nineteen seventies instead of
1:21:29
Speaker 15: riding in a car with him to school, windows up,
1:21:32
Speaker 15: air conditioning on UH.
1:21:34
Speaker 11: One cigarette after another.
1:21:36
Speaker 1: It was brutal, well, which negates the idea that you'd
1:21:40
Speaker 1: never smoked there, Dave, but he basically did for all
1:21:43
Speaker 1: the time he was around you. And you know, I
1:21:44
Speaker 1: feel so terrible for you having to experience the loss
1:21:46
Speaker 1: of your father, but it does serve as an excellent
1:21:49
Speaker 1: point when you're trying to bring this reality, this regulatory
1:21:52
Speaker 1: environment up. And you know, the other component of this
1:21:54
Speaker 1: approval process in the United States, they're so slow to
1:21:57
Speaker 1: approve any given product, like they have approved the sale
1:22:02
Speaker 1: of and I think it's because they're connected to well
1:22:05
Speaker 1: in big money lobbying groups like the tobacco companies, which
1:22:08
Speaker 1: have gotten deep involved in vaping. But you can only
1:22:11
Speaker 1: buy certain products. Others you can get at these these
1:22:15
Speaker 1: you know, vape shops from all over the world, but
1:22:17
Speaker 1: they're not licensed. I guess under federal law they aren't
1:22:21
Speaker 1: approved by the FDA.
1:22:23
Speaker 15: They're not approved by the FDA, so that means the
1:22:26
Speaker 15: FDA shuts them down, and I guarantee you there are
1:22:29
Speaker 15: people listening right now that are vapors that use these
1:22:33
Speaker 15: products and swear by them and swear by them in
1:22:35
Speaker 15: a good way. You know, how they've changed their lives
1:22:38
Speaker 15: going from smoking to really becoming you know, a less
1:22:41
Speaker 15: harm these less harmful alternatives. And you know a lot
1:22:44
Speaker 15: of these places that are mom and pop shops that
1:22:46
Speaker 15: are putting these vape liquids together. And it's really a
1:22:50
Speaker 15: fascinating community once you get involved in. And I've spoken
1:22:53
Speaker 15: to many of these people and they're not big tobacco,
1:22:57
Speaker 15: they're small town vape shops.
1:23:00
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, you make excellent points, Dave. I cannot argue
1:23:04
Speaker 1: with him, and I just you know, I don't like
1:23:07
Speaker 1: nanny stage the shocking statement from my listening audience, but
1:23:11
Speaker 1: it's anyway. But I'm glad to see though. The bright
1:23:14
Speaker 1: news and all this is that they are moving toward
1:23:16
Speaker 1: expanding the opportunities for people to choose from various products.
1:23:20
Speaker 1: And again, I think in the name of improving health.
1:23:23
Speaker 1: It seems to be sort of contra counterintuitive to one
1:23:26
Speaker 1: having vapes out there and more quantity, But the flip
1:23:29
Speaker 1: side is more people will smoke or you create a
1:23:31
Speaker 1: black market and again a lesson learned from prohibition and
1:23:35
Speaker 1: what they're learning in the UK real time right now
1:23:37
Speaker 1: black market is growing by leaps and bounds seven twenty
1:23:40
Speaker 1: six right.
1:23:40
Speaker 11: And it's going to be a case study of the
1:23:43
Speaker 11: black market in the UK.
1:23:45
Speaker 1: Just watch, Oh yeah, learn from others' mistakes. Dave Williams
1:23:49
Speaker 1: will continue with Dave don't go away at seven twenty
1:23:52
Speaker 1: six right now if you have CARES talk station seven
1:23:55
Speaker 1: thirty one, if you have care CD talk station, Happy Friday.
1:23:59
Speaker 1: From the text their Protection Alliance online at Protecting Taxpayers
1:24:02
Speaker 1: dot org, book markets. You know, with Dave Williams and
1:24:04
Speaker 1: the team, they are doing for you every day holding
1:24:06
Speaker 1: government accountable, or at least trying to do it by
1:24:08
Speaker 1: raising our awareness about the government accountability needs pivoting or
1:24:12
Speaker 1: let's stick with the FDA. From the Protecting Taxpayers dot
1:24:15
Speaker 1: our website, Ross Marsha and Marshan writing about rejecting RFK
1:24:20
Speaker 1: Junior's Food Safety Plan Healthier America legislative proposals on their
1:24:24
Speaker 1: regulation and oversight of food. That was a hearing they
1:24:26
Speaker 1: had the other day. What's this one all about, Dave Williams, Well, you.
1:24:29
Speaker 11: Know this is the Mahad movement make America healthy again?
1:24:32
Speaker 15: And you know very much support people being healthy, but
1:24:37
Speaker 15: you have you have RFK Junior, who is you know,
1:24:40
Speaker 15: putting mandates on food and really not making America healthy again.
1:24:46
Speaker 9: That's the problem.
1:24:46
Speaker 11: And you know, the FDA.
1:24:48
Speaker 15: I don't know if if people realize just how much
1:24:50
Speaker 15: influence the FDA has in everyone's life on a daily basis,
1:24:54
Speaker 15: and really the foods we eat, the prescriptions that we
1:24:57
Speaker 15: were allowed to take that are approved, and you.
1:25:00
Speaker 11: Know, we just don't see a lot of leadership coming
1:25:02
Speaker 11: from RFK Junior.
1:25:03
Speaker 1: Well, what of this generally recognized as safe grass thing
1:25:09
Speaker 1: that they're apparently going to require food manufacturers to go
1:25:12
Speaker 1: through and provide notifications for. Is this going to raise
1:25:15
Speaker 1: the price of our food or how will this allegedly
1:25:17
Speaker 1: bring about some better, healthier American diet.
1:25:21
Speaker 15: I'm not sure it's going to bring about a healthier diet,
1:25:23
Speaker 15: but it will raise the price of food. Whenever you
1:25:25
Speaker 15: have any sort of regulation, that always raises the price
1:25:29
Speaker 15: of food. And that's what we're concerned about, is that
1:25:31
Speaker 15: there's too much manipulation of a regulation and of food
1:25:35
Speaker 15: and these are regulations that don't go through Congress, and
1:25:38
Speaker 15: really Congress has abdicated a lot of their responsibility here.
1:25:42
Speaker 15: You know, they might have a hearing or two, but
1:25:44
Speaker 15: after that, there's really nothing that they do to manage
1:25:49
Speaker 15: the Food and Drug Administration or the Health and Human
1:25:52
Speaker 15: Services Department of Health and Human Services.
1:25:54
Speaker 1: Well, do the food manufacturers have maybe a Major Questions
1:25:57
Speaker 1: document or Major Questions argument they could bring to court, Like,
1:26:00
Speaker 1: wait a second, they did not delegate this degree of
1:26:04
Speaker 1: authority to regulate how we manufacture food. It's outside of
1:26:07
Speaker 1: the scope of whatever regulation they're springing from.
1:26:11
Speaker 11: We're starting to see that.
1:26:12
Speaker 15: And Ross marsh until you mentioned he's our executive director,
1:26:15
Speaker 15: has a law degree, and we've been filing Amiekas briefs
1:26:19
Speaker 15: at the state and federal level when it comes to
1:26:21
Speaker 15: these regulations, because we feel that there's a lot going
1:26:24
Speaker 15: on here. There's freedom of speech issues, there's overregulation, and
1:26:29
Speaker 15: so it's something we're getting more involved. And I remember,
1:26:31
Speaker 15: you know, back in April, I think Joe was telling
1:26:33
Speaker 15: me April first was the last time we spoke, April
1:26:35
Speaker 15: Fool's Day, and you mentioned, you know, what is the
1:26:38
Speaker 15: Taxpayer's Protection Alliance? You know, what do we do to
1:26:41
Speaker 15: affect change one of it, you know, are amikas briefs
1:26:45
Speaker 15: and trying to you know, get the court's attention and
1:26:47
Speaker 15: to change what the federal government is doing and what
1:26:50
Speaker 15: these agencies are doing, and a lot of agencies. You know,
1:26:53
Speaker 15: this is authority that they previously didn't have and they're
1:26:56
Speaker 15: taking for themselves.
1:26:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I know this is I suppose arguably a
1:27:01
Speaker 1: more altruistic road that RFK Junior is going down. And
1:27:05
Speaker 1: I like some of the things he's done. You know,
1:27:06
Speaker 1: a lot of things controversial, and I kind of take
1:27:08
Speaker 1: a sit on the fence approach to it, But overall,
1:27:11
Speaker 1: I think it's a good thing that he's bringing awareness
1:27:13
Speaker 1: about our diets to our attention, that the idea of
1:27:15
Speaker 1: going against processed food just choose not to eat them,
1:27:18
Speaker 1: as opposed to Dave telling them how to make them.
1:27:22
Speaker 1: An educated population, that's where the food additives and problems
1:27:25
Speaker 1: with processed food will reject those over time, I would hope,
1:27:29
Speaker 1: much in the same way awareness about cigarettes causing cancer
1:27:32
Speaker 1: will pushed a whole lot of people to just quit
1:27:34
Speaker 1: smoking just because they got the information.
1:27:37
Speaker 11: Well, and look at GMOs genetically modified organisms. That sounds
1:27:42
Speaker 11: really scary, doesn't it. And some people are really afraid
1:27:45
Speaker 11: of GMOs. Well, they are saving lives.
1:27:48
Speaker 15: In countries that need food because they're able to produce
1:27:52
Speaker 15: food at an incredible level.
1:27:55
Speaker 11: So science is working on our behalf.
1:27:57
Speaker 15: And a food company's goal is not to kill you,
1:28:02
Speaker 15: it's to sell product. And this reminds me of the
1:28:04
Speaker 15: fugitive is when a pharmaceutical company, why would they create a.
1:28:07
Speaker 11: Pill that kills you. It's not what they're in business for.
1:28:11
Speaker 15: So food companies, you know, do they need to be
1:28:14
Speaker 15: policed and they monitored. We're already doing that, so I
1:28:18
Speaker 15: think it's just really micromanaging what they can put in
1:28:22
Speaker 15: the ingredients.
1:28:23
Speaker 1: I just thought of a conspiracy theory, Dave, where we
1:28:25
Speaker 1: take a break and come back to my conspiracy theories,
1:28:28
Speaker 1: or as they like to be referred to, pattern observer friends.
1:28:30
Speaker 1: Maybe the idea of getting rid of GMOs to reduce
1:28:32
Speaker 1: the quantity of food that is produced is a direct
1:28:35
Speaker 1: relationship to controlling the population, Dave. I just put that
1:28:42
Speaker 1: in people's minds. See I can come up with them too.
1:28:44
Speaker 1: Although ill gott to get chimed in right now. No, no,
1:28:46
Speaker 1: that's actually going on. Here's a link to an article
1:28:48
Speaker 1: I found out on the internet, because anything you read
1:28:51
Speaker 1: on the Internet, of course, is true. That's what Abraham
1:28:53
Speaker 1: Lincoln said. Don't go away more with Dave Williams Taxpayer
1:28:56
Speaker 1: Protection Alliance deaf by a thousand quotas a crackdown on
1:28:59
Speaker 1: us street Tom's talking well overreach of government taxpayer protection lines.
1:29:05
Speaker 1: Dave Williams again protecting taxpayers dot or Dave got a
1:29:09
Speaker 1: chuckle as I mentioned my conspiracy theory, and I was
1:29:11
Speaker 1: taking credit for coming up with it. No, lo and
1:29:13
Speaker 1: behold my friend Maureen. Good morning, Maureene. That's what I
1:29:15
Speaker 1: was thinking of. Had already sent me an instant message
1:29:19
Speaker 1: about the GMO products unless you have a population agenda.
1:29:23
Speaker 1: I didn't see that before I made my comment. She said,
1:29:29
Speaker 1: great minds, of course, great minds think life, see Dave,
1:29:33
Speaker 1: and there you go, GMO, GMO getting rid of them
1:29:37
Speaker 1: is for the purpose of population control. Okay, you can
1:29:40
Speaker 1: agree or believe whatever you want. Pivoting over a consumer
1:29:42
Speaker 1: watchdog exposing the global crackdown on US streaming services. Why
1:29:47
Speaker 1: are they cracking down on our streaming services? I think
1:29:50
Speaker 1: maybe has something to do with the idea that we
1:29:52
Speaker 1: have free speech and the free exchange of ideas. In
1:29:54
Speaker 1: large part on our social media and places like well,
1:29:58
Speaker 1: I don't know, Iran, do'te.
1:30:03
Speaker 11: Well, listen, the European Union, Canada, Australia.
1:30:07
Speaker 15: They want money and they found another way to take
1:30:11
Speaker 15: it from US businesses. And this is with streaming quotas,
1:30:14
Speaker 15: streaming taxes, and this is billions.
1:30:17
Speaker 11: Of dollars a year. And these quotas are really weird.
1:30:20
Speaker 15: Is that the European Union is saying that you know,
1:30:22
Speaker 15: if your Netflix or any other streaming service that you're
1:30:25
Speaker 15: gonna have, thirty percent of the catalog that you have
1:30:28
Speaker 15: has to be European produced.
1:30:30
Speaker 1: Oh lord.
1:30:34
Speaker 15: And then of course they impost taxes on these streaming services.
1:30:37
Speaker 15: And again we've seen this from the European Union in
1:30:40
Speaker 15: so many way, the digital service tax. This is a entity,
1:30:44
Speaker 15: the European Union that just overregulates and over taxes and
1:30:47
Speaker 15: they see.
1:30:48
Speaker 11: What they do is they see the rich neighbor and
1:30:50
Speaker 11: they go, I want some of their money, yep. And
1:30:52
Speaker 11: so they pass these rules of regulations and these taxes
1:30:55
Speaker 11: trying to fleece our businesses.
1:30:57
Speaker 1: Well, I guess the larger question remains is can these
1:31:00
Speaker 1: large corporations still make money? Can they still be profitable?
1:31:04
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the profits will be less having to
1:31:06
Speaker 1: comply with all this, and all of the bloody work
1:31:08
Speaker 1: that would have to be done to comply with something
1:31:10
Speaker 1: like three percent of the content needs to be EU created.
1:31:13
Speaker 1: I suppose AI in and of itself can come up
1:31:15
Speaker 1: with the content list. But still obviously this comes at
1:31:17
Speaker 1: a great expense of the large companies. But will they
1:31:20
Speaker 1: remain there in spite of this cash grab that they're
1:31:23
Speaker 1: engaging in.
1:31:25
Speaker 11: And barren lies there.
1:31:26
Speaker 15: Rub is that they will pull out of these markets
1:31:29
Speaker 15: and that's not good for people in the European Union. Australia, boy,
1:31:34
Speaker 15: Australia time and time again are passing these bizarre regulations.
1:31:39
Speaker 15: You know, Australia used to be a place of like freedom,
1:31:43
Speaker 15: no more. I mean, so many different regulations on social media.
1:31:48
Speaker 15: Who can access social media?
1:31:49
Speaker 11: Yeah, they have a rule that you know, if you're
1:31:52
Speaker 11: sixteen or under you only have free speech after sixteen
1:31:55
Speaker 11: years old, which I think is a weird concept about
1:31:58
Speaker 11: accessing social media. But and we've seen this of course
1:32:01
Speaker 11: in this country state by state.
1:32:03
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I read an arc like again another one
1:32:05
Speaker 1: I thought about you, Dave Over In the UK, there
1:32:07
Speaker 1: was an article about kids getting around the social media
1:32:09
Speaker 1: age verification by simply using a mask, garapen and drawing
1:32:13
Speaker 1: fake mustaches and beards on themselves. I mean, duh. But
1:32:18
Speaker 1: see the nefarious part about this, Maureen good Morning, is
1:32:21
Speaker 1: that because of that, they're going to use the workarounds
1:32:25
Speaker 1: in order to bring about the dawn of the everyone
1:32:28
Speaker 1: must have an online digital ID, the numbering of the people,
1:32:31
Speaker 1: kind of thing that my friends out there in the
1:32:32
Speaker 1: religious community kind of argue about all the time.
1:32:36
Speaker 11: And now Michigan wants to ban VPNs. Obviously a VPN
1:32:39
Speaker 11: is a way around they do age restrictions. Yeah, so
1:32:44
Speaker 11: this is the next step.
1:32:45
Speaker 15: This is the absolute next step, is banning VPNs that
1:32:48
Speaker 15: you can't use a VPN to access the Internet. And
1:32:52
Speaker 15: you know, age verification is something that we actually are
1:32:55
Speaker 15: work a lot on because a lot of First Amendment issues.
1:32:58
Speaker 15: Florida tried to ban kids sixteen and under. Now, if
1:33:01
Speaker 15: you're let's say you live in Georgia and you're sixteen,
1:33:04
Speaker 15: you have a social media account.
1:33:06
Speaker 11: You drive into Florida, how does that work?
1:33:08
Speaker 15: Like, I mean, it doesn't make any sense, Brian, and doesn't.
1:33:12
Speaker 15: And people are saying, well, we have to control big
1:33:14
Speaker 15: tech big tech is bad.
1:33:16
Speaker 11: Listen, think what you want to think about big tech.
1:33:18
Speaker 11: I don't care. So what you want to do is
1:33:20
Speaker 11: create a government regime to collect your ID biometric information
1:33:26
Speaker 11: to ensure that you're old enough to get onto the internet.
1:33:29
Speaker 11: And it's not just for sixteen year olds. As a
1:33:32
Speaker 11: almost sixty year old, I have to go through the
1:33:34
Speaker 11: same thing.
1:33:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have.
1:33:36
Speaker 15: To prove that I am sixty, which I really don't
1:33:38
Speaker 15: want to do. I have to prove that to get
1:33:40
Speaker 15: onto the internet. So it's not just the kids. Everyone
1:33:44
Speaker 15: has to submit this data. And we have seen one breach.
1:33:47
Speaker 11: After another in the UK, in the US, everywhere. These
1:33:52
Speaker 11: things are breached all the time. Huge security risk, and
1:33:56
Speaker 11: for some reason, people are trusting big government to do
1:33:59
Speaker 11: this and to be able to handle this. I don't
1:34:01
Speaker 11: get it.
1:34:02
Speaker 1: People are trusting big government for anything. I don't get it. Yeah,
1:34:05
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what the topic happens to be. I
1:34:07
Speaker 1: was thinking about that when you mentioned about the regulatory
1:34:09
Speaker 1: scream stream for a regulatory process and streamlining it and
1:34:13
Speaker 1: making an uniform for all the United States based upon
1:34:15
Speaker 1: federal legislation. You know I was thinking about it. I
1:34:17
Speaker 1: wrote down our idiots in Congress don't know anything about AI.
1:34:21
Speaker 1: How is it that they can legislate curbs and controls
1:34:24
Speaker 1: on it? Who do they rely on? They rely on
1:34:26
Speaker 1: the people who build the AI platforms. I guess lobbyists. Right.
1:34:30
Speaker 11: You have Senator Chuck Grassley, who's in his nineties. Is
1:34:34
Speaker 11: this a person that we want to be debating AI
1:34:38
Speaker 11: in the future of AI in this country? I'm sorry,
1:34:40
Speaker 11: but no, these are not the people that we want
1:34:44
Speaker 11: deciding these issues.
1:34:46
Speaker 1: Let's pause, bring day back for one more. I appreciate
1:34:48
Speaker 1: the extra time you have. This has been a fascinating conversation.
1:34:50
Speaker 1: Dave went talkstation. It is seven fifty one here fifty
1:34:57
Speaker 1: five KIRCD Talk Station. The return of Corey b former
1:35:00
Speaker 1: mayoral Canada for the city of Sin Santa's comments about
1:35:02
Speaker 1: the primary race and the new safety program that was
1:35:06
Speaker 1: rolled out. He'll be joining the program after the top
1:35:07
Speaker 1: of the OIR News. The meantime, one more comments or
1:35:10
Speaker 1: more comments from Dave Williams from the taxpayer of Protection lines. Dave,
1:35:13
Speaker 1: you know I asked you specifically about the artificial intelligence
1:35:15
Speaker 1: companies pulling out of those you know, unbelievably over regulatory
1:35:20
Speaker 1: and high taxation countries. You suggested, Yeah, they may very
1:35:23
Speaker 1: well do that. Obviously downside risk with that. And I
1:35:26
Speaker 1: was looking at this wonderful one to two punch this morning,
1:35:28
Speaker 1: and I talked about it in the US at the
1:35:30
Speaker 1: beginning of the six o'clock hour report released by the
1:35:33
Speaker 1: Committee to Unleashed Prosperity, and they rely on IRS numbers
1:35:36
Speaker 1: showing that the states that voted for Trump, the red states,
1:35:39
Speaker 1: gained about two trillion dollars from those who fled the
1:35:43
Speaker 1: blue states that lost a collective equal amount, roughly two
1:35:48
Speaker 1: trillion dollars. They did a breakdown in all the states
1:35:51
Speaker 1: that benefited and gained from it, with a corollary article
1:35:53
Speaker 1: op ed piece from Kimberly Strassel, the Red Blue economic divide.
1:35:58
Speaker 1: We have the freedom of travel in this country, Day Williams.
1:36:01
Speaker 1: And when you get hit over the head by oppress
1:36:03
Speaker 1: of regulation and outrageous cost of living, a government that
1:36:07
Speaker 1: doesn't do anything about feces in the streets and roads
1:36:10
Speaker 1: and infrastructure, and you know, the whole litany of problems
1:36:13
Speaker 1: in cities like Seattle, states like California, Illinois, they're underwater financially.
1:36:18
Speaker 1: Look at what's happening in New York with everyone who
1:36:21
Speaker 1: can get out of the dodge leaving as backed up
1:36:23
Speaker 1: by this economic report, that's what people do. Do you
1:36:27
Speaker 1: have a reaction to that? And I don't know if
1:36:28
Speaker 1: you saw the data on that one, Dave.
1:36:30
Speaker 11: Yeah, absolutely.
1:36:31
Speaker 15: This is about competition, tax competition, and people vote with
1:36:36
Speaker 15: their feet.
1:36:37
Speaker 11: People are leaving California.
1:36:39
Speaker 15: Listen, We've heard this before, people leaving California, going to Texas,
1:36:42
Speaker 15: going to Florida.
1:36:43
Speaker 11: It's not for the weather, it's for the tax climate.
1:36:46
Speaker 15: It's because and you have businesses that have relocated to
1:36:50
Speaker 15: lower tax states. And that's what I love about this
1:36:53
Speaker 15: country is you have that tax competition, You have that competition,
1:36:57
Speaker 15: and people are smart.
1:36:58
Speaker 11: I mean, that's the thing is.
1:37:00
Speaker 15: You know, we can talk all this theoremy, when you
1:37:02
Speaker 15: see it actually happen, you know that people look.
1:37:06
Speaker 11: At the bottom line. And this has been happening for years.
1:37:09
Speaker 15: And California, Maryland, these deep blue states, they just don't
1:37:14
Speaker 15: get it, they don't understand. They keep on raising taxes,
1:37:17
Speaker 15: people keep on leaving, and it's really a vicious cycle.
1:37:20
Speaker 15: But you know, the red states are winning. They're winning
1:37:24
Speaker 15: and winning economically. And the next battle that I think
1:37:29
Speaker 15: is going to be property taxes. We're going to see
1:37:31
Speaker 15: a lot of states dropping property taxes, lowering them, or
1:37:34
Speaker 15: completely getting rid of property taxes again to get people
1:37:38
Speaker 15: to come into their state. And I love that. I
1:37:40
Speaker 15: love competition because at the end of the day, consumers win,
1:37:45
Speaker 15: property owners win when there's more competition.
1:37:48
Speaker 1: More competition. And you know, we've got that property tax
1:37:51
Speaker 1: issue raging here in the state of Ohio. I don't
1:37:53
Speaker 1: know if you're aware of, but there's a Batto petition
1:37:54
Speaker 1: circulating around to get the eradication of property taxes into
1:37:59
Speaker 1: the high Constitution and it's freaking out a lot of municipality,
1:38:03
Speaker 1: municipalities and of course the school districts wondering what they
1:38:06
Speaker 1: would do in order to get funding for you know,
1:38:08
Speaker 1: fire departments, police departments, and of course school districts. If
1:38:11
Speaker 1: the property tax disappears. But other states can do it,
1:38:14
Speaker 1: why can't we?
1:38:16
Speaker 15: Deep Blue Baltimore City is considering cutting their property tax rate.
1:38:21
Speaker 15: If that doesn't tell you everything about property taxes, I
1:38:24
Speaker 15: don't know what does. Because this is something that I
1:38:27
Speaker 15: think is going to be sweeping the country. Florida is
1:38:30
Speaker 15: now discussing whether to get rid of their property taxes.
1:38:32
Speaker 15: So I love it I love the fact that we're
1:38:35
Speaker 15: talking about this and because it puts more money back
1:38:38
Speaker 15: into people's pockets. I mean, the bottom line is people
1:38:41
Speaker 15: will have more money at their disposal, and guess what
1:38:44
Speaker 15: they're going to spend that money.
1:38:45
Speaker 11: They're going to go to the store. They're going to
1:38:47
Speaker 11: buy things. This is what people do when they have
1:38:49
Speaker 11: more money, They buy more stuff.
1:38:51
Speaker 1: And going back to the figure from the Committee to
1:38:53
Speaker 1: Unleashed Prosperity, Florida the largest gain of all the states
1:38:57
Speaker 1: receiving the benefits of new people moving into the tune
1:39:01
Speaker 1: of ready Day one point two nine three trillion dollars
1:39:05
Speaker 1: in adjusted gross income tied to migration during the ten
1:39:08
Speaker 1: year period study between twenty twelve and twenty twenty three.
1:39:11
Speaker 1: And I'm sure it got a lot bigger twenty twenty
1:39:13
Speaker 1: four and twenty five are added.
1:39:15
Speaker 15: Absolutely absolutely, And you know, God blessed Florida and other states.
1:39:20
Speaker 15: You know, if they're smart, they're looking at what Florida
1:39:23
Speaker 15: did and going hm hm.
1:39:24
Speaker 11: Yeah, we should do the same thing.
1:39:25
Speaker 1: Yeah. Ohio lost one hundred and six billion in spite
1:39:28
Speaker 1: of the fact that it's one of the several Trump states.
1:39:30
Speaker 1: Are several states that voted for Trump. HM, maybe we
1:39:33
Speaker 1: need to follow a different course. Dave Williams, thanks for
1:39:36
Speaker 1: what you do. I appreciate your willingness to spend time
1:39:38
Speaker 1: with my listeners and me on the Morning show. Here
1:39:40
Speaker 1: we'll recommend again protecting taxpayers dot Org. I look forward
1:39:44

Speaker 4: Day at all the moms out there, and of course
1:40:01
Speaker 4: most notably my mom and of course my wife out
1:40:04
Speaker 4: my wife, our kids will not have turned out as
1:40:06
Speaker 4: great as they've turned out so far, and I give
1:40:08
Speaker 4: my mom all the credit in the world.
1:40:09
Speaker 1: Shared a little bit with my dad, of course, But
1:40:12
Speaker 1: good morning, Mom, and happy Mother's Day. And welcome back
1:40:15
Speaker 1: someone who understands Mother's Day and the value of a
1:40:17
Speaker 1: great wife and mother. Welcome back Corey Bowm and former
1:40:20
Speaker 1: Meryll Kennedy. He's a minister over on the East End.
1:40:23
Speaker 1: Also has a cough coffee shop, King's Arms Coffee stop
1:40:26
Speaker 1: on it and get yourself a cup of Joe. Welcome back,
1:40:28
Speaker 1: My friend's great having you on, Brian.
1:40:31
Speaker 6: It's always good being on a happy Mother's Day to
1:40:33
Speaker 6: all the mother's out there. If my mom, or if
1:40:36
Speaker 6: my mother in law, or if a wife which is
1:40:39
Speaker 6: standing right next to me are listening, Happy Mother's Day
1:40:42
Speaker 6: to all them.
1:40:44
Speaker 1: Well, an intelligent, smart man, you are. You married out
1:40:47
Speaker 1: of your league there, brother, just like I did. That's
1:40:50
Speaker 1: the sign of a brilliant man. And sorry you weren't
1:40:52
Speaker 1: mayor of the citizen. Yeah, it's the best. That's a
1:40:56
Speaker 1: foundation for success in life, right there. Yeah, absolutely so,
1:41:01
Speaker 1: without further ado, your reaction to the primary a result,
1:41:05
Speaker 1: twenty percent turnout, I think a little under twenty in
1:41:08
Speaker 1: the Greater Since or in downtown Cincinnati, I guess was
1:41:10
Speaker 1: the turnout, But any particular race sticks out as a
1:41:13
Speaker 1: good result or something disappointed at Corey Bauman.
1:41:18
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I mean a couple of different points that
1:41:21
Speaker 6: are good, which I really am looking at the bright
1:41:24
Speaker 6: side of a lot of stuff, trying to find the
1:41:26
Speaker 6: good and everything. What's moving forward to be one of
1:41:28
Speaker 6: the biggest things. Like you said, twenty percent turnout, that's
1:41:31
Speaker 6: going to be a lot more than the primaries last year.
1:41:34
Speaker 6: I think last year, I don't even know if we
1:41:37
Speaker 6: hit ten percent in the primaries for the city election.
1:41:40
Speaker 6: So you're seeing that people are more involved in years
1:41:43
Speaker 6: like this. It kind of gradually goes up, but hey,
1:41:46
Speaker 6: more people involved the better. In these Republican Democratic primaries,
1:41:52
Speaker 6: you know, a lot of times you don't see contested races,
1:41:56
Speaker 6: but I did see a lot of contested races. I mean,
1:41:59
Speaker 6: obviously you have you state, and you have your Congress,
1:42:01
Speaker 6: and you have the things going on there. But primarily
1:42:05
Speaker 6: what I saw was in the state in the county
1:42:09
Speaker 6: central committees and a precinct executive, which if anybody doesn't
1:42:13
Speaker 6: know what those are, that's your local kind of grassroots
1:42:17
Speaker 6: party involvement right there. So you have precinct executives in
1:42:21
Speaker 6: every precinct. I believe there's there were five hundred in
1:42:24
Speaker 6: Hamilton County, and there was a lot more contested races
1:42:28
Speaker 6: or new faces that were showing up to be precinct
1:42:31
Speaker 6: executives where there were none previously. So that shows that
1:42:35
Speaker 6: a lot more people are getting involved locally rather than
1:42:39
Speaker 6: just watching the national politics.
1:42:41
Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that as well. And I suppose Ultimately,
1:42:43
Speaker 1: because primaries are so critically important to getting the best
1:42:46
Speaker 1: possible people in there, the fact that there's so much
1:42:49
Speaker 1: more interest in those positions, the question is who are
1:42:52
Speaker 1: the people filling it and what are their political philosophies.
1:42:57
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you're definitely seeing different groups of people getting involved.
1:43:01
Speaker 6: You know, people have different you know, words that they use,
1:43:04
Speaker 6: whether establishment or grassroots, but ultimately, it's just people that
1:43:08
Speaker 6: want to make a difference. I kind of see it
1:43:11
Speaker 6: as anybody that's willing to get into this realm. It's
1:43:14
Speaker 6: either you're forced into it by people, which you know
1:43:18
Speaker 6: doesn't really happen a lot, or you're you're just really
1:43:22
Speaker 6: passionate about getting involved in local politics. You're seeing a
1:43:26
Speaker 6: lot of people that are emphasizing, like I said, the
1:43:29
Speaker 6: grassroots effort, you know, going out door to door getting
1:43:33
Speaker 6: people involved locally. And I will say this, you saw
1:43:36
Speaker 6: that a lot on the Democratic side as well, a
1:43:39
Speaker 6: lot of people that were already pre sift executives. They
1:43:42
Speaker 6: saw contested races from there were whole organizations on the
1:43:46
Speaker 6: Democratic Party side locally here in Hamilton County that we're
1:43:50
Speaker 6: trying to get more people involved and get more people
1:43:54
Speaker 6: that emphasize like door knocking and grassroots efforts because they're
1:43:58
Speaker 6: fed up with how the city or the is being run,
1:44:01
Speaker 6: even on their side as well. So that's encouraging.
1:44:04
Speaker 1: Well, it wasn't encouraged to see the capitulation from the
1:44:07
Speaker 1: Republicans on the ballot in Hamilton County that they didn't
1:44:09
Speaker 1: even run people in various judicial races. We've got a
1:44:12
Speaker 1: problem with the judiciary in Hamilton County, the woke judges
1:44:15
Speaker 1: who are not hard on crime, who allow these recidivous
1:44:17
Speaker 1: individuals back on the street, no bonds, and when it
1:44:20
Speaker 1: comes time to sentencing after either a guilty plea or
1:44:23
Speaker 1: conviction beyond a reasonable doubt, very light sentences for some
1:44:27
Speaker 1: quite often heinous crimes by recidivus. That was a sorry
1:44:30
Speaker 1: state of affairs from my perspective. It's just like, you know,
1:44:32
Speaker 1: last person out, pull the flag, We'll bring the flag
1:44:34
Speaker 1: with you, but no one willing to run for these
1:44:37
Speaker 1: judicial races. Did you react in a similar way when
1:44:39
Speaker 1: you saw that, Corey Bowman, Well, I.
1:44:42
Speaker 6: Think I'm seeing the races where I feel what is
1:44:46
Speaker 6: the most important. I'm at least seeing them seeing contested
1:44:50
Speaker 6: races like let's talk about the juvenile court. You know,
1:44:53
Speaker 6: you have Judge Bloom right now, which is going to
1:44:57
Speaker 6: be going against Susan Lucan. And that's probably the biggest
1:45:00
Speaker 6: race that I'm pushing this year is Judge Lucan because
1:45:04
Speaker 6: of what we're seeing. I'm sorry, I said, oh absolutely,
1:45:09
Speaker 6: because the thing is is that in the city you're
1:45:11
Speaker 6: seeing major problems with youth violence, kids not being held accountable.
1:45:16
Speaker 6: And then even so I was even talking with the
1:45:18
Speaker 6: judge Judge McDowell, Judge Chris McDowell is on the ballot
1:45:22
Speaker 6: this year as well. Amazing man, amazing judge. He was
1:45:25
Speaker 6: in my church last Sunday and as we were talking,
1:45:29
Speaker 6: he said, one of the biggest issues is that anybody
1:45:32
Speaker 6: that's in the court system and the judges, they when
1:45:35
Speaker 6: kids that are like just turning eighteen enter into the
1:45:38
Speaker 6: court system, if they see a harsh charge from that perspective,
1:45:43
Speaker 6: they're shocked because if they got convicted or if they
1:45:46
Speaker 6: got arrested when they were younger, the juvenile system really
1:45:51
Speaker 6: doesn't hold them accountable. So we've got to start from
1:45:55
Speaker 6: the young up. When that starts with the Lucan race,
1:45:59
Speaker 6: with the JUVENI I would encourage everybody get involved with that.
1:46:02
Speaker 6: I still feel that the judicial races are the most
1:46:05
Speaker 6: important in Hamilton County.
1:46:07
Speaker 1: This year, well, don't worry about it, because there's not
1:46:09
Speaker 1: going to be juvenile crime this year. They've expanded the
1:46:11
Speaker 1: They have the Summer in City program that they just
1:46:14
Speaker 1: unveiled in the city of Cincinnata to help deal with
1:46:16
Speaker 1: youth violence, which includes an expanded rec night program. So
1:46:20
Speaker 1: from between five and ten pm, there's all kinds of
1:46:22
Speaker 1: opportunities for people to engage in sports and swim. And
1:46:28
Speaker 1: I just wonder Corey Bowman, if these rec night programs
1:46:31
Speaker 1: will well stop the gang members from engaging in their
1:46:35
Speaker 1: nefarious activities, because I've learned that that seems to be
1:46:38
Speaker 1: a big part of the problem that they're not talking about.
1:46:41
Speaker 6: No, you're right, And what happened was what I'm encouraged
1:46:44
Speaker 6: by this year is that if they were just talking
1:46:47
Speaker 6: about the rec programs, if they were just talking about
1:46:50
Speaker 6: the community initiatives, then I would be like, oh, wow,
1:46:53
Speaker 6: here we go again. It's a merrygor round of crime
1:46:56
Speaker 6: and just soft on all these issues. Actually, what happened
1:47:00
Speaker 6: last year the Act for SINCI program, three point two
1:47:04
Speaker 6: million dollars went into it and the primary focus of
1:47:07
Speaker 6: it was these community initiatives like rec nights, cleaning up trash,
1:47:13
Speaker 6: just doing things like that that didn't really address crime.
1:47:16
Speaker 6: What I will say is that this year these programs,
1:47:19
Speaker 6: even though they do involve the rect nights for the youth,
1:47:22
Speaker 6: which I think are important, they are going hand in
1:47:25
Speaker 6: hand with it. You watch INTERN Chief Henny. He started
1:47:29
Speaker 6: mentioning that they were increasing patrols and that they were
1:47:33
Speaker 6: increasing the drone program, they were intituing the curfew. So
1:47:37
Speaker 6: you didn't see that last year. You only saw people
1:47:40
Speaker 6: talking about that last year after July, and after all
1:47:43
Speaker 6: the crime was happening and the election was looming, so
1:47:46
Speaker 6: then they were forced to deal with it. But they're
1:47:49
Speaker 6: getting ahead of a game, at least more than what
1:47:51
Speaker 6: they did last year. And I want to commend INTERN
1:47:54
Speaker 6: Chief Henny for stepping up and putting those programs out,
1:47:58
Speaker 6: and actually anybody that was involved in putting the emphasis
1:48:02
Speaker 6: on police rather than just community programs.
1:48:05
Speaker 1: Well, going back to your point about holding younger children
1:48:07
Speaker 1: accountable for their crimes before they make it to big
1:48:10
Speaker 1: boycourt and find out what real consequences might be, I
1:48:14
Speaker 1: guess I was a little concerned about Henny's comments about
1:48:17
Speaker 1: the giving tickets out or citations for violations of the curfew,
1:48:21
Speaker 1: which kicks in at eleven pm. So if they're not
1:48:24
Speaker 1: going to issue citations and just give them a ride home,
1:48:27
Speaker 1: basically boiled down my comments with my perception of his comments,
1:48:31
Speaker 1: is that going to do anything if they're not going
1:48:34
Speaker 1: to hand out tickets regularly, Well, in.
1:48:37
Speaker 6: My mind, what it depends on is, Okay, if they
1:48:41
Speaker 6: accept the ride home, that's great. What if they don't
1:48:43
Speaker 6: accept the ride home. What if they resist the force
1:48:48
Speaker 6: that's happening with the curfew, then what happens? Because I
1:48:51
Speaker 6: think what they were addressing was the first case, the
1:48:55
Speaker 6: best case scenario is, hey, they're taking kids home, they're
1:48:58
Speaker 6: getting them off the streets. What you have to address
1:49:01
Speaker 6: is what happens when you meet resistance, and that's going
1:49:04
Speaker 6: to be the basically the deciding factor whether this curfew
1:49:08
Speaker 6: actually works, because if they accept the ride home, if
1:49:12
Speaker 6: they get off the streets, that's fine. But if they
1:49:15
Speaker 6: don't get off the street, if they resist any direction
1:49:18
Speaker 6: that's happening from the officers. What happened last year was
1:49:22
Speaker 6: there was nothing done. It was really just like, hey,
1:49:25
Speaker 6: we're gonna make this curfew, but there's no consequence, right,
1:49:28
Speaker 6: So that's kind of what the police need to focus on,
1:49:31
Speaker 6: is having actual consequences to disobeying the curfew.
1:49:35
Speaker 1: Well, the elephant in the room goes back to our
1:49:36
Speaker 1: judicial race comments about juvenile court. If they enforce it
1:49:40
Speaker 1: and they engage in you know, actively involving and uh,
1:49:44
Speaker 1: you know, citing the children or forcing them to deal
1:49:46
Speaker 1: with the juvenile courts, that's the only thing the police
1:49:48
Speaker 1: can do. But then it's left in the hands of
1:49:50
Speaker 1: a juvenile judge who slap them on the hand, let
1:49:52
Speaker 1: them out the door again, the revolving draw door of justice.
1:49:55
Speaker 1: So that it kind of seems to be that a
1:49:58
Speaker 1: good proposal, it doesn't have the teeth on the back end.
1:50:03
Speaker 6: Yeah. Well, one thing that they did mention, so I'm
1:50:06
Speaker 6: trying to be optimistic right here, hopefully hopefully that their
1:50:10
Speaker 6: words actually carry weight and they're actually going to do
1:50:13
Speaker 6: what they say this time around. Who knows, but they
1:50:17
Speaker 6: did mention that the police we're going to actively pursue
1:50:21
Speaker 6: relations or not relationships, but conversations with the judicial system
1:50:26
Speaker 6: to make sure that these low bonds and that these
1:50:30
Speaker 6: low accountability convictions actually are getting dealt with. So I'm
1:50:36
Speaker 6: going to try to take them at their word and say, hey,
1:50:39
Speaker 6: if they're because this is stuff we were all pushing
1:50:41
Speaker 6: for last year. So if they were actually going to say, hey,
1:50:45
Speaker 6: we're going to address these issues, We're going to work
1:50:47
Speaker 6: with the judicial system, make sure that the low bonds
1:50:50
Speaker 6: are not the deciding factor in getting the criminals off
1:50:53
Speaker 6: on the streets. Again, let's hope for the best and
1:50:56
Speaker 6: let's hope for a safe or safer summer.
1:50:59
Speaker 1: And Corey Buma was bringing back talking about this lawsuit
1:51:02
Speaker 1: that was foiled by former tenants of the Preservation of
1:51:05
Speaker 1: Affordable Housing program about some buildings and over the Rhine
1:51:08
Speaker 1: that were found to have some really toxic chemicals in them.
1:51:11
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman stick around, will be right back with him
1:51:14
Speaker 1: after these brief words. The talk station. It's a twenty here,
1:51:19
Speaker 1: fifty five KCD talk station Happy Friday. Coming up next segment,
1:51:24
Speaker 1: Jack windsor fingers Cross primary results and sudden resignation of
1:51:28
Speaker 1: Attorney General YOS High Pressnetwork dot com where you find Dave.
1:51:31
Speaker 1: In the meantime, we have Corey Bowman on the program,
1:51:33
Speaker 1: a former mayoral candidate, business owner and resident of the
1:51:36
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati, but he does not live in a
1:51:38
Speaker 1: Preservation of Affordable Housing unit. Thankfully, the largest low income
1:51:42
Speaker 1: housing providers in the city. Apparently now they're subject to
1:51:45
Speaker 1: a lawsuit. They found some really hazardous material chloroform and benzene,
1:51:51
Speaker 1: which some are claiming led to the sudden infant death
1:51:54
Speaker 1: of two children that were living in the preservation Affordable
1:51:58
Speaker 1: Housing units. Apparently WCPO and props to them. They've been
1:52:02
Speaker 1: reporting on this and I got that article that you
1:52:03
Speaker 1: forward along to me, and thanks for bringing that. One
1:52:05
Speaker 1: of my attention rats sewage build ups, mold, no hot water,
1:52:09
Speaker 1: inoperable stoves. They checked out Poe's more than nine hundred
1:52:12
Speaker 1: residential units that have been finding these problems that have
1:52:15
Speaker 1: been existing for a long time. This is I mean
1:52:18
Speaker 1: chloroform and benzing that's just toxic. Corey Bowmen, your reaction
1:52:22
Speaker 1: to this revelation, well.
1:52:26
Speaker 6: For us, unfortunately, it's not a new revelation. For the
1:52:29
Speaker 6: last several years being a pastor in the West End,
1:52:33
Speaker 6: we've done many outreaches in the area where the attendees
1:52:38
Speaker 6: are tenants of OHA and Preservation of Affordable Housing. You now,
1:52:42
Speaker 6: there's a couple other different organizations in the city to
1:52:45
Speaker 6: operate the same way. Unfortunately, a lot of these tenants
1:52:49
Speaker 6: face some very bad circumstances when it comes to their
1:52:55
Speaker 6: conditions for their housing. Primarily, what we've heard is mold.
1:53:00
Speaker 6: We've heard the lack of HVAC he and ac in
1:53:06
Speaker 6: during the seasons, and this is something that when they
1:53:10
Speaker 6: actually complain to the authority, they get told either want
1:53:15
Speaker 6: to just wipe up the mold, spray paint over it,
1:53:18
Speaker 6: or they get threatened to be evicted because there's such
1:53:21
Speaker 6: a waiting list for housing in the city that they
1:53:25
Speaker 6: don't care about taking care of their tenants. Now, keep
1:53:28
Speaker 6: in mind this is organization specifically received a million dollar
1:53:32
Speaker 6: grant last year from our city manager to be able
1:53:36
Speaker 6: to improve the lives of tenants. And this is something
1:53:38
Speaker 6: that's not only from the past, like the lawsuits coming
1:53:41
Speaker 6: from twenty twenty three. These are conditions that are currently
1:53:45
Speaker 6: happening right now. And I can attest to that from
1:53:49
Speaker 6: specific people I've talked to on the streets that are
1:53:51
Speaker 6: in the West.
1:53:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know what I keep hearing from all
1:53:55
Speaker 1: the climate change advocacy, we need to get rid of
1:53:58
Speaker 1: gasoline and everything because the police it causes asthma. It's
1:54:01
Speaker 1: going to cause your asthma problems. How about the black mold?
1:54:04
Speaker 1: It is documentary. You can extrapolate make up whatever thing
1:54:08
Speaker 1: you want about whether or not pollution in the air
1:54:10
Speaker 1: generally does causes asthma. Of course it probably does, but
1:54:13
Speaker 1: black mold is noted for its causing sneezing and coughing
1:54:17
Speaker 1: and irritation as well as worsening asthma's symptom. So that
1:54:21
Speaker 1: would be a great start. Plus it would create a
1:54:23
Speaker 1: habitable living environment if you got rid of the black mold.
1:54:28
Speaker 6: No, it's so true. You got to understand too that
1:54:31
Speaker 6: these organizations are well funded. Yeah, these aren't like just
1:54:34
Speaker 6: struggling landlords. Do you know that, hud. I mean President
1:54:38
Speaker 6: Trump tried to get it down to thirty two million,
1:54:40
Speaker 6: and Congress are thirty two billion, and Congress still approved
1:54:44
Speaker 6: it for seventy two billion dollars for last year. For
1:54:48
Speaker 6: the funding. All this funding is coming through not only that,
1:54:52
Speaker 6: but through the city budget as well. These are, for
1:54:55
Speaker 6: lack of better words, it's slum lords. These are people
1:54:58
Speaker 6: that pocket money that do not take care of the
1:55:02
Speaker 6: tenants that they have with the proper funding that we
1:55:05
Speaker 6: know they receive. And this is a major issue. We're
1:55:08
Speaker 6: seeing this with it with organizations like CMHA, We're seeing
1:55:12
Speaker 6: this with many organizations in the city. And I'm not
1:55:16
Speaker 6: here to just bash and just say hey, not present
1:55:19
Speaker 6: a solution. All I'm saying is you're well funded, your
1:55:22
Speaker 6: tenants are struggling. You know, yes, the affordable housing situation.
1:55:26
Speaker 6: We got to give people a leg up to be
1:55:28
Speaker 6: able to get out of poverty. We don't want them
1:55:30
Speaker 6: to just stay in this type of housing for the
1:55:32
Speaker 6: rest of their life. At the same time, if they're
1:55:35
Speaker 6: accepting these benefits, and if the organizations are being as
1:55:39
Speaker 6: well funded as they are, I would expect ten times
1:55:42
Speaker 6: better maintenance of their buildings and ten times better care of.
1:55:46
Speaker 1: Their tenants, no doubt about it. And miss wildly curious
1:55:49
Speaker 1: what the salaries are for those that are responsible for
1:55:52
Speaker 1: running the preservation of affordable housing.
1:55:55
Speaker 3: Just a wildly more than you and me.
1:55:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, if I was a betting man, Corey Boma, that's
1:56:00
Speaker 1: where my money would be. Corey Bowman, I appreciate your
1:56:02
Speaker 1: tireless efforts on behalf of all residents of the city
1:56:05
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati and bringing this these issues to our attention
1:56:08
Speaker 1: here on the fifty five krsee morning show. You're always
1:56:10
Speaker 1: welcome and I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.
1:56:12
Speaker 1: And congratulations again for well out kicking your coverage when
1:56:17
Speaker 1: you got married, my friend, have a great day on Sunday.
1:56:21
Speaker 6: Thank you, Brian, you guys have a great day.
1:56:23
Speaker 1: Thank you too. We'll talk real soon. Corey Bowman stick around,
1:56:25
Speaker 1: Jack wins Or, primary results, the resignation of Attorney General Yost,
1:56:29
Speaker 1: among other topics coming up next from the Ohio Press Network,
1:56:32
Speaker 1: Jack Wins I'll be right back. This is fifty five
1:56:35
Speaker 1: KRC and iHeart rate it is a thirty here fifty
1:56:43
Speaker 1: five KRCD talk station. As I adjust my zoom calls
1:56:46
Speaker 1: so I can see Jack Wins are there. You are, Jack,
1:56:49
Speaker 1: Good morning, Jack wins Orthehio Pressnetwork dot com. Check out
1:56:52
Speaker 1: what Jack follows throughout the state of Ohio. Very well.
1:56:55
Speaker 1: Good reporting there from Jack Winsor. Welcome back to my friends.
1:56:58
Speaker 1: Good to hear from you. It's been a little while.
1:57:00
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's been a little while, man, and it's good
1:57:03
Speaker 16: to be back. Thank you and Joe for being patient
1:57:05
Speaker 16: with me. It's always an honor to be with you.
1:57:07
Speaker 16: In the fifty five KR see Family well, we have
1:57:09
Speaker 16: fun with it and primary results. Since you report on
1:57:11
Speaker 16: things all over the state of Ohio, let's just focus
1:57:13
Speaker 16: on the big one. Boy, he won it by a landslide.
1:57:16
Speaker 16: No problem with mister Putsch vv Ramaswami seventy percent of
1:57:21
Speaker 16: the vote. He will be our next governor. I'm confident
1:57:24
Speaker 16: of that. Your reaction to that one are we looking
1:57:26
Speaker 16: for better times here in Ohio? Noting that I read
1:57:30
Speaker 16: this this morning, there was a report out about the
1:57:33
Speaker 16: gains that the Red states have made two plus trillion
1:57:37
Speaker 16: for all the low regulation, low tax states like Florida
1:57:40
Speaker 16: and Texas, and a loss of two trillion dollars from
1:57:43
Speaker 16: states like California, New York. You know the usual suspects
1:57:46
Speaker 16: on that. Sadly, we were not among the winning states
1:57:50
Speaker 16: had voted for Trump. Ohio lost one hundred and six
1:57:52
Speaker 16: billion in people moving. So if that figure is correct,
1:57:56
Speaker 16: and I have no reason to argue about it since
1:57:57
Speaker 16: they got the information from the irs, does vivik Rama
1:58:02
Speaker 16: Swami represent a better path? I think I know the
1:58:05
Speaker 16: answer to that question, or at least I'm optimistic Jack. So,
1:58:09
Speaker 16: first of all, yes, I think so, and there are
1:58:13
Speaker 16: a lot of factors at play.
1:58:14
Speaker 1: Here though.
1:58:15
Speaker 16: Obviously the Cook partisan voting Index as Ohio are plus
1:58:18
Speaker 16: five and that's meaningful for the VIC and Republicans, But
1:58:23
Speaker 16: we have to be real smart. It is a midterm
1:58:25
Speaker 16: election and the environment is difficult. So for listeners across
1:58:29
Speaker 16: Ohio who are kind of fed up with the radical
1:58:31
Speaker 16: lefts direction on spending, open borders, failing schools, filled with activism,
1:58:36
Speaker 16: cultural overreach, you just can't sit at home. You can't
1:58:39
Speaker 16: sit on your hands, right, and Vivic Ramaswami won in
1:58:42
Speaker 16: all Lady eight counties, which is important. That means that
1:58:44
Speaker 16: the Republicans got out. And you know, the Democrat nominee,
1:58:47
Speaker 16: doctor Amy Acton, is kind of a double edged sword here, right.
1:58:50
Speaker 16: She has tremendous name recognition because of her work as
1:58:54
Speaker 16: the Ohio Department of Health director during COVID, and because
1:58:58
Speaker 16: she was the Ohio Department of Health director during COVID,
1:59:01
Speaker 16: that may slice negatively for her too, So of course
1:59:05
Speaker 16: they're gonna have to be very careful with how they
1:59:07
Speaker 16: market and brand her. But right now, I think, all
1:59:10
Speaker 16: things being equal, the VAKE represents a clear and distinguished path, right,
1:59:16
Speaker 16: and that's what voters are going to have to decide
1:59:18
Speaker 16: on even the case he puts supporters, once they're done
1:59:21
Speaker 16: crying over the spilled milk, they're gonna have to go. Okay,
1:59:24
Speaker 16: do I want to full on, heavy handed, top down
1:59:27
Speaker 16: socialist or do I want the vake Ramaswami.
1:59:30
Speaker 9: And at the end of the day, that's really what
1:59:33
Speaker 9: it's about.
1:59:33
Speaker 1: Well, you know that it goes exactly to the point
1:59:35
Speaker 1: I've been making about this concern over all. You know,
1:59:37
Speaker 1: the Democrats, you know, in win in Congress, and because
1:59:41
Speaker 1: of the current situation with the war in Iran, and
1:59:44
Speaker 1: the gas price is going through the roof, and I
1:59:45
Speaker 1: just it strikes me as so counterintuitive. Okay, I'm not
1:59:49
Speaker 1: happy about paying five or six as the case may
1:59:51
Speaker 1: be with premium gasoline. I'm willing to live through this
1:59:54
Speaker 1: what will be some sort of finite moment in time
1:59:57
Speaker 1: the gas prices will ultimately come down. But that wouldn't
2:00:00
Speaker 1: cause me the high gas prices to want to vote
2:00:02
Speaker 1: against my best interest on literally everything else that the
2:00:05
Speaker 1: Democrats stand for. So I won't be a Democrat vote
2:00:09
Speaker 1: if I'm angry. But it's the problem is it may
2:00:12
Speaker 1: cause me to just simply not go vote. And I
2:00:15
Speaker 1: think that's the biggest challenge for Republicans. They got to
2:00:17
Speaker 1: put it behind him and get out and overwhelm the
2:00:20
Speaker 1: Democrats who will certainly be fired up over that and
2:00:23
Speaker 1: drive into the polls over that and that couple with
2:00:25
Speaker 1: Trump arrangement syndrome, They've got a lot going for him
2:00:28
Speaker 1: just by really campaigning on nothing.
2:00:32
Speaker 9: You know, that's exactly right.
2:00:33
Speaker 16: And I think Democrats are saying, hey, just don't vote
2:00:36
Speaker 16: for that team. Yeah, And what it's going to come
2:00:38
Speaker 16: down to is once people go, Okay, you don't want
2:00:40
Speaker 16: me to vote for that team, but let's look at
2:00:42
Speaker 16: this team. I'm going to go back to what John
2:00:44
Speaker 16: Fetterman said a couple of weeks ago. Who's the leader
2:00:46
Speaker 16: of the Democratic Party? Trump arrangement syndrome? And so is
2:00:50
Speaker 16: that enough to get them over the finish line? Now,
2:00:51
Speaker 16: real clear polling has Ramaswami plus one right now on average.
2:00:56
Speaker 16: Now we expect more polls to come out very soon
2:00:59
Speaker 16: because there's fresh data from the midterms. But look at
2:01:01
Speaker 16: the Calshi market. It has acting up I think fifty
2:01:04
Speaker 16: five to forty six. So all indicators are that this
2:01:07
Speaker 16: will be a tight contest. It's going to come down
2:01:09
Speaker 16: to the economy, gas and grocery prices and then turn
2:01:12
Speaker 16: out dynamics, and then what are the head wins nationally?
2:01:15
Speaker 16: Right now, Trump is underwater and he's carried Ohio most
2:01:19
Speaker 16: recently by eleven plus points. When you add in the
2:01:22
Speaker 16: R plus five, that seems favorable. But if groceries are high,
2:01:26
Speaker 16: if gas is high, if people are disgruntled with Iran,
2:01:29
Speaker 16: then I think it makes it, you know, a more
2:01:31
Speaker 16: competitive race. But really it comes down to again, candidate contrast,
2:01:35
Speaker 16: who is Amy Actin, who is Vivik Ramaswami. And Ramaswami
2:01:40
Speaker 16: is somebody who's made some bold promises about the future
2:01:42
Speaker 16: of state government, about spending and about innovation. And if
2:01:47
Speaker 16: voters by that, I think he wins by five. I'm
2:01:50
Speaker 16: going to give you that prediction out of the gate.
2:01:52
Speaker 16: If not, it could be we could be looking at
2:01:53
Speaker 16: Governor Amy Acton.
2:01:55
Speaker 1: Amy Lockdown Acted. What is she advocating for? What's her
2:01:58
Speaker 1: party platform other than you know, she's not veague Ramaswamy
2:02:02
Speaker 1: man of well, yeah.
2:02:04
Speaker 16: So here's the interesting part, right, and we'll have this
2:02:07
Speaker 16: quick discussion. She's campaigning on affordability and anyone who peels
2:02:12
Speaker 16: the curtain back and looks you go, well, wait a minute.
2:02:14
Speaker 16: Democrats systemically have created this affordability crisis, So how are
2:02:18
Speaker 16: you going to solve that problem? And oh, by the way,
2:02:21
Speaker 16: you made sixty two cents in interest income last year,
2:02:24
Speaker 16: So maybe the issue with affordability for you, Amy Acton
2:02:27
Speaker 16: isn't affordability. Maybe it's that you don't make enough money, right,
2:02:31
Speaker 16: And vivig Ramaswami's out here creating multimillion and billion dollar
2:02:35
Speaker 16: businesses and I think that is a very cheeky way
2:02:38
Speaker 16: to say it, but it is a very stark contrast.
2:02:40
Speaker 9: But affordability is one issue, and so.
2:02:42
Speaker 16: You go, Okay, it sounds good, but do you have
2:02:45
Speaker 16: the competence to change that?
2:02:46
Speaker 9: I think people will question that.
2:02:47
Speaker 16: And then the other way that she's positioning herself, Brian
2:02:51
Speaker 16: is a doctor and not a politician, And you go, well,
2:02:53
Speaker 16: a good, Okay, that sounds good on paper, but why
2:02:55
Speaker 16: are you walking arm in arm with Mark Elias and
2:02:57
Speaker 16: the Elias Slow Group out of Washington.
2:02:59
Speaker 9: DC.
2:03:00
Speaker 16: Jis Hillary Clinton's twenty sixteen campaign attorney. So you talk
2:03:03
Speaker 16: about not being an insider, yet you've selected as your
2:03:06
Speaker 16: law firm the most inside DC Democrat law firm there is.
2:03:11
Speaker 16: So there's not alignment there between what she's saying and
2:03:14
Speaker 16: what she's actually doing.
2:03:15
Speaker 1: All Right, we'll pause. We'll bring Jack Windsor from the
2:03:17
Speaker 1: isislepet Pressnetwork dot Com back. We'll talk about Attorney General
2:03:21
Speaker 1: Yos dropping his current position and moving on to an
2:03:24
Speaker 1: outside law firm to do some political advocacy. His reaction
2:03:27
Speaker 1: to that coming.
2:03:27
Speaker 7: Up the talk station.
2:03:32
Speaker 1: It is eight fifty one. If if you have kcdtalk
2:03:34
Speaker 1: station Ron Thomas with Jackwindsor from Theisle Pressnetwork dot com,

Speaker 1: check out what's going on his website every single day
2:03:41

Speaker 1: Yose stepping down from his position and joining a new organization,
2:03:51
Speaker 1: or actually not a new organization. It's the Alliance Defending Freedom.
2:03:55
Speaker 1: It's a just conservative organization, kind of a nonprofit law
2:03:57
Speaker 1: firm that helps it helps out navocates for conservative principles.
2:04:01
Speaker 1: Is there anything we need to read? I mean, I
2:04:02
Speaker 1: guess I don't have a problem with him going on
2:04:04
Speaker 1: to probably a more lucrative career position. He's going to
2:04:08
Speaker 1: be doing some legal work for that group. It's in
2:04:10
Speaker 1: line with his political philosophy, the work they do, so
2:04:12
Speaker 1: I guess it makes sense along those lines. But is
2:04:15
Speaker 1: there something we need to read into this regarding the timing?
2:04:19
Speaker 1: What do you think there, Jack winsor there are.
2:04:22
Speaker 16: No coincidences in politics, sir, And that's number one. But
2:04:26
Speaker 16: I'm going to go back to two things can be true. Right, So,
2:04:29
Speaker 16: after more than two decades serving Ohio tax payers in
2:04:33
Speaker 16: elected office, Dave Yoste, I think, is making a move that.
2:04:35
Speaker 9: Makes perfect sense on a personal level.
2:04:37
Speaker 16: So he's going to step into that senior role at
2:04:39
Speaker 16: an organization that's been extraordinarily effective at winning major constitutional
2:04:44
Speaker 16: battles in the nation's highest court, and that kind of
2:04:47
Speaker 16: experience for him, going into that kind of experience and
2:04:51
Speaker 16: the kind of experience that they're getting with Dave Yoste,
2:04:54
Speaker 16: I think is a really good fit. And he's just
2:04:55
Speaker 16: going to make more money good for Dave Yoste at
2:04:58
Speaker 16: the same time, and this is where po gets interesting.
2:05:01
Speaker 16: The timing creates a clean succession path, right, So Governor
2:05:04
Speaker 16: Dwine now is forced to appoint someone to fill that
2:05:09
Speaker 16: AG's position. And here's the interesting twist. He can now
2:05:13
Speaker 16: appoint the very candidates Republicans just nominated on Tuesday into
2:05:18
Speaker 16: the open state wide offices. Faber could move from auditor
2:05:21
Speaker 16: to a g Larrose, from Secretary of State to auditor,
2:05:24
Speaker 16: Sprague from treasurer to Secretary of State, and then Edward's
2:05:27
Speaker 16: into that treasurer's office. I think most politicos say, well, yes,
2:05:32
Speaker 16: this helps Yost, But Yost, in a final salute, is
2:05:36
Speaker 16: helping the Republican Party by opening that seat and allowing
2:05:39
Speaker 16: that cascade of appointees.
2:05:41
Speaker 1: I must observe Jack Windsor you just rattled off a
2:05:44
Speaker 1: very very familiar group of names. I know it's something
2:05:46
Speaker 1: that that in and of itself will rub some of
2:05:49
Speaker 1: my listening audience the wrong way.
2:05:50
Speaker 16: Your take on that, I listen, I agree, right, and
2:05:56
Speaker 16: I think some people go, oh my gosh, it's it's
2:05:59
Speaker 16: musical chairs, right, But here's what it comes down to.
2:06:03
Speaker 16: At the end of the day, you have some choices
2:06:06
Speaker 16: to make, and for ag do you want Keith Faber
2:06:09
Speaker 16: or John Coolewicks? Do you want Robert Sprague or Alison
2:06:13
Speaker 16: Russo as Secretary of State? And so I think Republicans
2:06:16
Speaker 16: are doing things strategically that Democrats would do without a blink, right,
2:06:21
Speaker 16: They're doing the thing that will give them a slight edge, because,
2:06:24
Speaker 16: let's face it, when somebody is an incumbent and they
2:06:26
Speaker 16: can run for a position from an incumbency, I think
2:06:30
Speaker 16: that gives them a slight edge. Might not be big,
2:06:32
Speaker 16: but it's a little bit of something. And I think
2:06:33
Speaker 16: Republicans are trying to take every advantage here they can get.
2:06:36
Speaker 16: I know that that rubs some really strict constitutionalists and
2:06:40
Speaker 16: people who are just you know, very conservative at the core.
2:06:42
Speaker 16: I know that rubs them the wrong way. And you know,
2:06:45
Speaker 16: sometimes you gotta what did they say in that movie
2:06:48
Speaker 16: what Tom Cruise say, Rubbing is racing.
2:06:50
Speaker 9: Sometimes you gotta rub man.
2:06:52
Speaker 1: I understand that. I get all the political points and
2:06:54
Speaker 1: the realities and the strategy behind it, but you know what,
2:06:56
Speaker 1: there's got to be some backbenchers, some names back there
2:06:59
Speaker 1: that may a little familiar, but be good next generation
2:07:03
Speaker 1: people who will then take over the role of getting elected, elected, elected,
2:07:06
Speaker 1: elected over and over again and play musical chairs. Somebody's
2:07:08
Speaker 1: got to take over take the mantle from the current
2:07:11
Speaker 1: cast of characters we just left putting by appointment. You
2:07:15
Speaker 1: give that person with less name recognition, of course, an
2:07:18
Speaker 1: opportunity to build their name recognition. And to demonstrate that
2:07:21
Speaker 1: they're the competent right person for the job, satisfying everyone.
2:07:24
Speaker 16: Perhaps, you know what, I can't argue with that strategy,
2:07:28
Speaker 16: because the other candidates that we just mentioned, if there
2:07:32
Speaker 16: is not this cascade of appointments, they've built their brand right,
2:07:35
Speaker 16: they have name recognition, they've won a state wide office.
2:07:37
Speaker 16: And so what you're saying is let them win that
2:07:39
Speaker 16: office on their merits, let's bring in the new blood,
2:07:42
Speaker 16: let's let the young team kind of come in and
2:07:45
Speaker 16: establish themselves. And I think when you're looking long term,
2:07:48
Speaker 16: that probably makes the best sense. But you and I
2:07:50
Speaker 16: both know politics is what have you done for me
2:07:53
Speaker 16: lately and what do we need to do in the
2:07:55
Speaker 16: next six months? And I think that's probably what we're
2:07:57
Speaker 16: going to see.
2:07:58
Speaker 1: Fair enough, let's tell you over a little bit longer
2:08:00
Speaker 1: this segment, and we'll let you go. Jack Windsor, I
2:08:02
Speaker 1: had a question for you on the reaction about Governor
2:08:06
Speaker 1: Mike Brown in Indiana rolling back the gas and sales
2:08:09
Speaker 1: tax that results in a fifty nine point three cent
2:08:13
Speaker 1: drop in price for over and for folks over in Indiana.
2:08:15
Speaker 1: Governor Bisher also froze states gas tax and it's going
2:08:18
Speaker 1: to result in a I don't know, twenty six twenty
2:08:21
Speaker 1: seven percent reduction, And both of them pointed out, well,
2:08:23
Speaker 1: we both have a lot of revenue coming in, and
2:08:26
Speaker 1: we have a lot of money in our general fund,
2:08:30
Speaker 1: you know, the rainy day funds, billions and billions of dollars,
2:08:33
Speaker 1: and we have that here in Ohio. And yet Governor
2:08:35
Speaker 1: de Wine said, no, I'm not going to do it.
2:08:36
Speaker 1: I care too much about the roads. Do you think
2:08:40
Speaker 1: that's a good strategy to roll back the tax just
2:08:42
Speaker 1: on its face? And what do you say about Governor
2:08:45
Speaker 1: de Wine is saying absolutely no to it.
2:08:48
Speaker 16: I say about Governor Dewines saying absolutely no to it.
2:08:50
Speaker 16: That does not surprise me. He is a Democrat in
2:08:53
Speaker 16: Republican clothing. He loves to speak government programs, he loves
2:08:56
Speaker 16: to go hand out checks. He likes to be the
2:08:58
Speaker 16: benevolent grandpa who thinks he's fixing everything. So that's no
2:09:01
Speaker 16: surprise to me. I think it comes down to is
2:09:02
Speaker 16: it a good decision. Well, Ohio is such a complex state,
2:09:06
Speaker 16: you know this, So I'm not going to get too
2:09:07
Speaker 16: much in the weeds on this. Because of the way
2:09:09
Speaker 16: that taxing authorities exist, you know, the gas tax is
2:09:13
Speaker 16: collected and then it's distributed, and you know it does
2:09:17
Speaker 16: help with roads and so on and so forth. I'm
2:09:19
Speaker 16: just not convinced that a three month pause is going
2:09:22
Speaker 16: to throw a massive monkey wrench into that. And I
2:09:25
Speaker 16: look at it and say, why wouldn't you, even if
2:09:28
Speaker 16: for window dressing, right, why wouldn't you for the next
2:09:31
Speaker 16: three months suspend this thing. Appease members of your party
2:09:35
Speaker 16: who are trying to help voters who are screaming do something.
2:09:39
Speaker 16: But that's not Mike Dwine. Mike Dwine is always the
2:09:42
Speaker 16: smartest guy in the room, and he's going to go
2:09:44
Speaker 16: his way, and if you don't like it, he'll yell
2:09:45
Speaker 16: at you behind closed doors.
2:09:46
Speaker 1: I had someone asked me the other day on the issue
2:09:48
Speaker 1: of taxes, pivoting over briefly here to property taxes, Jack
2:09:52
Speaker 1: Wins with the ballot petition circulating to amend the Constitution
2:09:54
Speaker 1: of the State of Ohio to eliminate property tax you know,
2:09:58
Speaker 1: are you in favor against Brian and said half of me,
2:10:02
Speaker 1: I'm in favor of it just because of the train
2:10:04
Speaker 1: wreck that will follow up and the how much it
2:10:07
Speaker 1: is going to force our elected officials to actually do
2:10:09
Speaker 1: something in the aftermath of being taken having the property
2:10:13
Speaker 1: tax taken away from them.
2:10:14
Speaker 3: You know.
2:10:14
Speaker 1: The correlator that is, I know all those problems and
2:10:16
Speaker 1: they are going to be concerning and difficult to overcome.
2:10:19
Speaker 1: But I don't have a problem paying my tax bills,
2:10:22
Speaker 1: so I can afford to sort of play. You know,
2:10:25
Speaker 1: maybe the impish guy who wants to see a train
2:10:27
Speaker 1: wreck just to see what happens. Jack, what do you think?
2:10:31
Speaker 3: You know what?
2:10:31
Speaker 16: The first thought that comes to my mind is necessity
2:10:33
Speaker 16: is the mother of invention. When you move the cheese
2:10:36
Speaker 16: and they no longer have cheese, they're going to find
2:10:38
Speaker 16: their cheese. That's just that's the bottom line. Now, everybody
2:10:42
Speaker 16: loves change. They hate transition. The transition's going to suck.
2:10:45
Speaker 16: Maybe there are over four thousand taxing authorities, so they're
2:10:48
Speaker 16: going to have to figure out how to find their cheese.
2:10:50
Speaker 16: But at the end of the day, I'm going to
2:10:51
Speaker 16: go back to this. Do you remember what happened during COVID, Yes,
2:10:55
Speaker 16: Governor and Amy Acton looked at you and said, tough,
2:10:58
Speaker 16: tough titty. You don't like it, we're going to close
2:11:00
Speaker 16: your business. Figure it out. Well, Governor, I want unemployment.
2:11:04
Speaker 16: But the system's broken. It's been six months since I've
2:11:07
Speaker 16: been paid.
2:11:07
Speaker 1: Tough.
2:11:08
Speaker 9: Okay, well it's turnabout's fair play, right.
2:11:11
Speaker 16: I don't have a hard time looking at folks and going, oh,
2:11:13
Speaker 16: you don't have the money.
2:11:14
Speaker 1: Tough, figure it out.
2:11:15
Speaker 9: That's why you were elected.
2:11:16
Speaker 16: I know that's a little bit probably cheeky, but again,
2:11:20
Speaker 16: at the end of the day, it's not their money,
2:11:22
Speaker 16: it's our money. It's not their power, it's our power.
2:11:24
Speaker 16: And at some point we have to stand up and go, Okay,
2:11:27
Speaker 16: enough is enough.
2:11:28
Speaker 9: And if you.
2:11:29
Speaker 16: Can't figure it out out, let's get somebody in that
2:11:31
Speaker 16: office who can figure it out, because that's why you're elected.
2:11:34
Speaker 1: Jack. Wins are always a fun conversation with you, and
2:11:36
Speaker 1: of course they're reporting over at the iile Pressnetwork. Dot
2:11:38
Speaker 1: COM's excellent. I check on it all the time and
2:11:40
Speaker 1: appreciate what you're doing there. We'll talk again real soon, Jack,
2:11:43
Speaker 1: and have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend and a wonderful
2:11:46
Speaker 1: week generally speaking. My friend, YouTube brother, God bless you,
