0:45
Speaker 1: brought to you by Zimmer Heating and Cooling. Not very
0:48
Speaker 1: many on the list. Quite candidly, I didn't have any
0:50
Speaker 1: problem getting in. The only slipping I did was getting
0:52
Speaker 1: into the driveway here at the building. They had shoveled
0:55
Speaker 1: it or salted or anything, but roads not too bad.
0:58
Speaker 1: Slow and steady. Wins the race and had no issues
1:01
Speaker 1: whatsoever coming down seventy one from the two to seventy
1:04
Speaker 1: five region. And I hope you have an easy commute,
1:07
Speaker 1: but do allow some extra time, cause you know damn
1:10
Speaker 1: well that if there is a flake within the ten
1:13
Speaker 1: mile radius. Someone's going to freak out behind the wheel.
1:16
Speaker 1: And I hope you got your bread and milk. Make
1:19
Speaker 1: more snow to come to. We'll get the forecast here.
1:21
Speaker 1: You got the forecast there a moment ago. Anyway, let
1:24
Speaker 1: us see here coming up with fifty five cares See
1:26
Speaker 1: Morning show. It is Friday, of course, Tech Friday with
1:28
Speaker 1: Dave Hatter got a couple of minutes accused in a
1:30
Speaker 1: local card skimming case. Those things seem to be growing.
1:34
Speaker 1: Users are saying no to the Windows eleven upgrade. We'll
1:38
Speaker 1: find out why from Dave and Google apparently sharing your
1:41
Speaker 1: text messages with your employer. Dave hates Google, and to
1:50
Speaker 1: the extent that that is true, obviously, I'm sure there's
1:54
Speaker 1: a subtext of that. I hate Google as well. Why
1:56
Speaker 1: would they share your text message with your employer? Anyway,
1:59
Speaker 1: that's what we Dave hadter for keeping you out of trouble,
2:01
Speaker 1: at least trying to if you listen to him. Private
2:04
Speaker 1: Citizen Brad Winster returns of the thirty five Krsey Morning Show.
2:06
Speaker 1: Hope he allows an extra ten minutes to get in.
2:08
Speaker 1: It's an hour of power with Brad Winster. I got
2:11
Speaker 1: a lot of things talk about with him. Of course,
2:13
Speaker 1: we can weave into some of the things like the
2:16
Speaker 1: Venezuelan and oil tanker seizure. We talked to him about that,
2:19
Speaker 1: and as I find out, actually, you know me due process.
2:21
Speaker 1: I know people hate me because I still believe in
2:24
Speaker 1: due process and the Constitution and you know, following the
2:27
Speaker 1: rule of law. It's one of my criticisms about you know,
2:30
Speaker 1: launching missiles and dropping bombs all over the place without
2:32
Speaker 1: any even congressional involvement. We've been down that road a
2:35
Speaker 1: million times, most notably of late with Massy Napolitano of course,
2:39
Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson the other day. But at least as
2:42
Speaker 1: far as the Venezuelan oil strikes are concerned, they went
2:45
Speaker 1: to court, they got a warrant apparently following the law,
2:49
Speaker 1: and that's and they're going to further go to court.
2:52
Speaker 1: We're planning on keeping the oil, but we're going through
2:54
Speaker 1: the court process and presumably that'll give Venezuela an opportunity
2:58
Speaker 1: to come into court and make an argument for their case. Fine,
3:02
Speaker 1: that legitimizes the whole process, and that's all I'm looking for.
3:06
Speaker 1: You can stand behind the law no, we followed the law.
3:11
Speaker 1: No tolerance for lawbreakers. So get Brad's comments on that.
3:18
Speaker 1: Beverly Park Williams, she's got a book, Parallel and Separate,
3:21
Speaker 1: local author. She reached out to me about this book.
3:24
Speaker 1: Parallel with Separate, a tale of two sisters. It's a torria,
3:28
Speaker 1: a story of her mom and her sister Janet, who
3:31
Speaker 1: were separated I after her mom was born and her
3:36
Speaker 1: aunt was three years old. They were separated through a
3:38
Speaker 1: legal process and one was directed to be raised by
3:42
Speaker 1: the author's mother and the other, one moved over, was
3:45
Speaker 1: forced to be raised by the father. They one grew
3:49
Speaker 1: up in poverty, other raised in a middle class home
3:52
Speaker 1: with the private education, and the differences between their lives
3:54
Speaker 1: were rather stark. They both lived in Cincinnati, their paths
3:57
Speaker 1: did not cross, and they did not know of each
3:59
Speaker 1: other existence until seventy years later. So it we use
4:04
Speaker 1: a whole lot of local information. Finley Markets mentioned river Downs,
4:09
Speaker 1: the Westwood Botanical Gardens, Whitewater Forest, just all kinds of
4:13
Speaker 1: local relevance and a very interesting story. So that's we're
4:18
Speaker 1: going to talk to you with with Beverly Park Williams.
4:21
Speaker 1: That'll take place at eighth five of course Monday on
4:24
Speaker 1: the morning show, Christopher Smith Men and Money Money with
4:26
Speaker 1: Brian James, so extra special shout out. Let's all sing
4:29
Speaker 1: happy birthday in our heads. Anyway to west Side Jim Keefer,
4:33
Speaker 1: it's his birthday today, Jim Keeper, Happy birthday, my friend,
4:37
Speaker 1: my brother. I appreciate all that you do and your
4:39
Speaker 1: care and concern for the community, and it's been a
4:42
Speaker 1: wonderful thing as a consequence of my being here on
4:44
Speaker 1: the fifty five Case Morning Show to point to yet
4:47
Speaker 1: another relationship and friend that I am blessed to have
4:51
Speaker 1: by virtue of my employment. Just a beautiful, beautiful thing.
4:54
Speaker 1: So to all my friends out there, it's just I
4:57
Speaker 1: truly appreciate your friendship. One of the reasons I like
4:59
Speaker 1: the listener so much. It's not just me making friends,
5:02
Speaker 1: it's other listeners in the audience making friends themselves, establishing
5:06
Speaker 1: new relationship and you know, putting a smile on each
5:08
Speaker 1: other's faces. That's what it's all about from my perspective. Oh, Ed, look,
5:14
Speaker 1: let's start locally, shall we.
5:17
Speaker 3: You know?
5:18
Speaker 1: Iire us Rawli, don't you? She loves the police? Not
5:24
Speaker 1: she got a new contract.
5:25
Speaker 4: Mayor.
5:25
Speaker 1: Elections have consequences don't they Joe brand new contract, which,
5:31
Speaker 1: interestingly enough, timing is everything. City manager share Along signed
5:35
Speaker 1: the new contract two days after the election November on
5:37
Speaker 1: November sixth. What's it worth? Six hundred and sixty four thousand,
5:44
Speaker 1: three hundred dollars an independent consultant, which means she's not
5:48
Speaker 1: bound by the nepotism rules that actual city employees are. No,
5:52
Speaker 1: you can't hire your son. No, you can't you know,
5:55
Speaker 1: funnel proceeds to your husband, which is exactly what Irishly
6:01
Speaker 1: apparently did. According to the Paula Christian Hbxmedia dot net
6:07
Speaker 1: i team Channel nine, new contract authorizes a Summer in
6:16
Speaker 1: SINSI program, which is apparently at least allegedly designed to
6:20
Speaker 1: help youth and prevent violent crime between the months of
6:22
Speaker 1: June and August, expanding the Government Square initiative from mid
6:27
Speaker 1: August through October. City agree tobate ninety four thre hundred
6:32
Speaker 1: dollars for that work performed months earlier. It's pointed out, Oh,
6:34
Speaker 1: look Toddzen's or citizen watchdog here locally, former US Inspector
6:38
Speaker 1: General who fought fraud waste in the US Department of
6:41
Speaker 1: Commerce and US Department of Transportation. We've had Todd Zenser
6:44
Speaker 1: on the program a bunch a citizen watchdogs podcast, and
6:48
Speaker 1: I cannot encourage you enough to listen to what Todd
6:50
Speaker 1: has to say. It's all built on fact, it's all
6:54
Speaker 1: built on legitimate information, and he is often quite puzzled
6:58
Speaker 1: over the what I'd like the character the Shenanigan's going
7:01
Speaker 1: on in downtown Cincinnati. He was quoted by the Channel
7:03
Speaker 1: nine and the contract has been controversial, and it should
7:05
Speaker 1: not be surprising that the city administrator or a city
7:07
Speaker 1: manager held this stuff until after the election to avoid
7:11
Speaker 1: any more controversy before the election, No kidding, Todd, perfect
7:16
Speaker 1: good point. Riley didn't respond to request from Common from
7:22
Speaker 1: Channel nine, but they did obtain new records. You're gonna
7:26
Speaker 1: love this. The ITAM uncovered that the city spent more
7:31
Speaker 1: than thirteen hundred dollars for T shirts, hoodies, and performance
7:34
Speaker 1: shirts for government square workers. Now that's one thing. Oh,
7:39
Speaker 1: we all need to look like, we all need to
7:40
Speaker 1: be able to be identified. Fine, Joe, how much do
7:43
Speaker 1: you think it would cost to get a T shirt? Online?
7:45
Speaker 1: You can order a custom T shirt from Amazon for
7:47
Speaker 1: what five ten bucks? Yeah, it's cheap. How many T
7:51
Speaker 1: shirts and hoodies and performance shirts. Can you order for
7:53
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred bucks? Sounds like a small sum of the
7:55
Speaker 1: grand scheme of the fraud, waste and abuse that goes
7:57
Speaker 1: on in any government entity. But you know, the point
8:01
Speaker 1: here is that the t shirts, which again you can
8:05
Speaker 1: go to Amazon and buy or someplace else, purchased from
8:09
Speaker 1: a company registered to Iris Rolli's husband HM invoices dated
8:17
Speaker 1: March twenty fifth from BLG Accessories and Apparel located at
8:22
Speaker 1: twenty two oh six Langdon Farm Road. Anyway, bottom Liarci says,
8:25
Speaker 1: thank you for choosing roch Show Awards and graphics the
8:28
Speaker 1: company's Roach Show and Black Lives Golfing. That's a new
8:32
Speaker 1: one on me. Not to be confused with Black Lives Matter,
8:35
Speaker 1: who's one of the major founders of which was just
8:37
Speaker 1: accused of embezzling tons of money. There's your financial contribution
8:41
Speaker 1: to BLM getting thrown down the toilet. I don't know
8:43
Speaker 1: it benefited her and her acquisition of a bunch of
8:45
Speaker 1: real estate. Different story anyway, Black Lives Golfing registered to
8:49
Speaker 1: Jesse Rowley out of the same Langdon Farm Road address
8:53
Speaker 1: or the Secretary of State Records anyway, I team looked
8:55
Speaker 1: into that. Todd Zenzer's response to that, it does make
8:59
Speaker 1: it look like it's a family business. This kind of
9:02
Speaker 1: transaction doesn't make it look fair. True, And of course
9:09
Speaker 1: they looked at reached the city. The city has found
9:11
Speaker 1: no violations or conflicts of interest. The contract was executed
9:14
Speaker 1: once terms were agreed upon. Steve Gooden, our favorite lawyer,
9:19
Speaker 1: uh didn't make it to Cincinni City Council, although he
9:21
Speaker 1: sat there at one point at the end of the
9:24
Speaker 1: day he said, this is patronage. If she were an
9:26
Speaker 1: actual city employee. You know, Steve's versed in the law
9:29
Speaker 1: on this. If you're an actual city employee, none of
9:32
Speaker 1: this would have been allowed. She would not be able
9:33
Speaker 1: to give this business to her husband's company or parenthetically,
9:36
Speaker 1: as we all know, hire her son who worked in
9:39
Speaker 1: that government square program. I think he do you get
9:42
Speaker 1: convicted felon Joe? No, he was in jail or something
9:47
Speaker 1: like that. I don't I don't draw any conclusions from that.
9:49
Speaker 1: I'm just going back from my recollection, which is as
9:51
Speaker 1: I get older, fading anyway, not be able to give
9:55
Speaker 1: this kind of business to her husband's company, or to
9:57
Speaker 1: hire her son to engage in the kind of political
9:59
Speaker 1: activity that she engaged and why because cities nepotism policy
10:02
Speaker 1: says employees should avoid influencing, participating in personal decisions of
10:05
Speaker 1: allving close family members, like recommending them for work or
10:09
Speaker 1: in this particular case, actually doing the hiring. You see
10:16
Speaker 1: Iris rolling her husband, laying in bed, having a little
10:18
Speaker 1: pillotalk conversation and her husband, how in the hell can you?
10:21
Speaker 1: How come you didn't give me the T shirt business?
10:27
Speaker 1: You know I do run Row Show, We make T
10:30
Speaker 1: shirts and stuff. Why did you go to Amazon and
10:32
Speaker 1: get them? Well, I was a little concerned about the
10:34
Speaker 1: appearance of impropriety, USHN, but you're not bound by that.
10:40
Speaker 1: There's no nepotism policy against an independent contractor. You're an
10:43
Speaker 1: independent contractor. Give me the business. I don't know how
10:46
Speaker 1: that conversation will go down in your home, but I
10:48
Speaker 1: can just imagine impossibly that or maybe her leaning over
10:52
Speaker 1: to him again. Guess what, honey, I got a contract
10:54
Speaker 1: for you. Your company's going to fulfill the T shirt,
10:57
Speaker 1: hoodie and performance garb requirements, and I'm going to give
10:59
Speaker 1: you the business. Thank you. Joe Strecker Gooden pointed, I said,
11:06
Speaker 1: what she's doing here is not illegal. But my point
11:11
Speaker 1: of view is it should be illegal. Question. It should
11:15
Speaker 1: be illegal, shouldn't it. Do you think the city council
11:21
Speaker 1: will change their policy to say no tep nepotism for
11:27
Speaker 1: independent contractors. No, at least my dad's listening to the
11:34
Speaker 1: Morning show. God Bless you dead. You know, he passed
11:36
Speaker 1: away on the ninth of December a couple of years ago.
11:43
Speaker 1: Missed him so much good and said whatever Roleie was
11:46
Speaker 1: doing didn't work, speaking to the government square and found
11:49
Speaker 1: initiative that her son was running. You know if peace,
11:52
Speaker 1: love joy, handing out food and putting on t shirts
11:55
Speaker 1: and spreading the love apparently didn't work because over the
11:57
Speaker 1: summer we had massive problems and governments where and she
12:00
Speaker 1: was already responsible for that or sub that out to
12:03
Speaker 1: her son. Whatever role he was doing, it didn't work.
12:08
Speaker 1: Good and said it failed. And the idea that she
12:11
Speaker 1: gets paid for it after the fact. That's that figure
12:14
Speaker 1: I referenced earlier. I think just stinks the contract. There
12:18
Speaker 1: are no real metrics. There's that fundamental problem we had
12:22
Speaker 1: with government. Here's the money, NGO. Your stated objective is wonderful,
12:27
Speaker 1: stopping violence and handing out food people who needed keeping
12:31
Speaker 1: the order. We love that. However, there are no real metrics.
12:35
Speaker 1: No one within city government goes out into the world
12:38
Speaker 1: and finds out of these NGOs did the work that
12:40
Speaker 1: they were paid to do, or step back from it
12:46
Speaker 1: and objectively observe that if that work was in fact
12:49
Speaker 1: going on, apparently it was, Iris and her son were
12:51
Speaker 1: getting paid for it. What about all the violence that
12:54
Speaker 1: happened in the Fountain Square over the summer hmm, violence
12:57
Speaker 1: that led to mayor aftab perval, putting all the a
13:00
Speaker 1: civil service response team, swat team, everybody bringing down a
13:04
Speaker 1: government square, coming up with new policies, new curfew policies,
13:06
Speaker 1: all of that in the aftermath of the violence that happened,
13:09
Speaker 1: Can we just objectively observe that whatever they purported to
13:12
Speaker 1: do did not work. Let's go a different route, maybe
13:15
Speaker 1: get a different subcontractor to take on this responsibility.
13:18
Speaker 5: Hmmm.
13:25
Speaker 1: Zenzer pointed out the value of this contract has increased
13:28
Speaker 1: almost eight hundred percent since twenty twenty two. She's been
13:32
Speaker 1: around a while. It's on its way to a million dollars,
13:36
Speaker 1: he observed, Yeah, it is, I guess, And he points
13:40
Speaker 1: out city contracts could attract the attention of outside auditors. Ooh,
13:44
Speaker 1: this is a shot over the bow from Todd Zenzer.
13:47
Speaker 1: All you law firms out there want to do a
13:49
Speaker 1: little pro bono work, file a lawsuit against the city
13:52
Speaker 1: or send out foyer request. Here's what Todd Zenzer had
13:55
Speaker 1: to say. These are red flags that outside parties can
13:59
Speaker 1: take a look at and start raising a lot of
14:01
Speaker 1: questions about how the city is operating it's contracting operation,
14:06
Speaker 1: pointing out the city is playing fast and loose with
14:08
Speaker 1: contracting rules. Well, if you are one of those law
14:11
Speaker 1: firms out there, a citizen activist, maybe you might want
14:14
Speaker 1: to take some interest in this one. Five point twenty
14:16
Speaker 1: right now. If you five carsite talk station, phone calls
14:18
Speaker 1: will welcome you right back. So the world's twenty eight
14:22
Speaker 1: degrees at fifty five krsit talks station.
14:25
Speaker 2: I'm Donald J.
14:26
Speaker 3: Trump.
14:26
Speaker 6: Can I improve this message?
14:27
Speaker 7: Thank you?
14:28
Speaker 1: Don five twenty three I fifty five karsite talk station.
14:38
Speaker 1: I'd like to point out little get out of bed music.
14:40
Speaker 7: Let me.
14:46
Speaker 1: Tell yeah, I mentioned in passing considering the Irish early
14:51
Speaker 1: contract and the nepotism that goes along with that, Black
14:57
Speaker 1: lives golfing, whatever, you start your own organization, your own company,
15:02
Speaker 1: that'll be her husband, Iris Rolly's Husbands, one of his
15:04
Speaker 1: two businesses that are cited by Channel nine's I team
15:07
Speaker 1: in this investigation to the brand new contract with Iris
15:10
Speaker 1: Roley entered into two days after the election, Hey, let
15:12
Speaker 1: me underscore that again. Moving over to Black Lives Matter
15:17
Speaker 1: the Oklahoma City Chapter, the executive director there charged with
15:21
Speaker 1: wire fraud money laundering. Federal prosecutors claim she diverted more
15:24
Speaker 1: than three point one five million dollars in returned bail
15:30
Speaker 1: checks to her personal accounts for her own period of
15:34
Speaker 1: her own use. This took place over a five year period.
15:36
Speaker 1: Her name share at Teshella Sherry Amor Dickerson from Oklahoma City.
15:43
Speaker 1: She accused of routing money intended for the group's bail
15:45
Speaker 1: fund and social justice programs. So you give to something
15:50
Speaker 1: like this thinking it's going to be used for altruistic means,
15:52
Speaker 1: like we're going to bail out the Black Lives Matter
15:54
Speaker 1: folks that got arrested. We're going to use this money
15:56
Speaker 1: for altruistic purposes. She's going to take it and put
15:59
Speaker 1: it in her own damn pocket. According to the Department
16:06
Speaker 1: of Justice and the press release, this BLM Oklahoma City
16:10
Speaker 1: Chapter raised more than five point six million dollars beginning
16:12
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, major grants from Community Justice to Exchange
16:16
Speaker 1: don't even know what that is, and you don't either,
16:18
Speaker 1: and the Massachusetts Bail Fund and the Minnesota Freedom Fund.
16:22
Speaker 1: Everybody's lining up to throw some money at the BLM.
16:25
Speaker 1: It was the right thing to do, it was the
16:26
Speaker 1: popular thing to do. Sometimes BLM chapters would shake down
16:30
Speaker 1: corporations in order to get corporate sponsors. They routed the
16:36
Speaker 1: money through the Alliance for Global Justice, which served as
16:39
Speaker 1: the BLM. The Black Lives Matter chapter, their fiscal sponsor
16:43
Speaker 1: required that all funds we used for tax exam purposes.
16:47
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of reasons for us, most notably
16:49
Speaker 1: the five oh one C three obligations. Anyway, the prosecutors
16:52
Speaker 1: say she deposited three point one five million, at least
16:56
Speaker 1: in return to bail checks to her personal accounts rather
16:59
Speaker 1: than back into the Black Lives Matter account HM. She
17:03
Speaker 1: bought property, She bought all kinds of stuff. She brought
17:05
Speaker 1: clothes apparently, so twenty five count indictment, charging with twenty
17:13
Speaker 1: counts of wire fraud, five counts of money laundering, now
17:15
Speaker 1: facing up to twenty years in federal prison for each
17:18
Speaker 1: wire fraud count and up to ten years for each
17:20
Speaker 1: money laundering account, and potential fines of up to a
17:23
Speaker 1: quarter of a million dollars per charge. Fox News reached
17:29
Speaker 1: out to the BOM chapter there, and they did not
17:31
Speaker 1: return the call for comment. Shocking literally No One five

Speaker 1: So that's all I wonder if mister Tuba has left
18:15
Speaker 1: side Jim's phone number, I hope.
18:17
Speaker 3: So.
18:18
Speaker 8: Yeah, anyway, happy birthday Jim. You Yeah, your your stories
18:25
Speaker 8: this morning. One thing that that crosses all political racial
18:31
Speaker 8: gender lines is greed. Yeah we we uh we we're
18:35
Speaker 8: all susceptible to it. And this opinion I'm about to
18:40
Speaker 8: give is is not based on the people in the stories.
18:44
Speaker 8: I don't know these people. I haven't talked to these
18:46
Speaker 8: people directly, but all the things that I've heard over
18:49
Speaker 8: the years, and and people's reaction to these stories and
18:54
Speaker 8: this kind of stuff, certain communities get to the point
18:58
Speaker 8: where you know, maybe you know, they've been taken advantage of,
19:01
Speaker 8: and now they want theirs. Now it's their turn to
19:04
Speaker 8: be greedy, and so they they found a way to
19:09
Speaker 8: get everybody else, either by force or or by guilt
19:14
Speaker 8: or whatever, to go along with all this stuff. So like,
19:17
Speaker 8: for example, Black Lives Matter, and we talked about Black
19:20
Speaker 8: Lives Matter enough, just at the organization itself.
19:26
Speaker 3: It's a it's a farce.
19:28
Speaker 8: There was no need for that whole thing. We've looked
19:31
Speaker 8: at the you know how George Floyd thing and all
19:33
Speaker 8: that stuff. There was no need for all this stuff.
19:36
Speaker 8: Of course, black lives matter, just like everybody. All lives matter.
19:40
Speaker 8: Now I know that's racist to say all lives matter.
19:42
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no no no, don't don't concede
19:45
Speaker 1: that point. Never say it's racist to say that all
19:48
Speaker 1: lives matter, because it's not.
19:49
Speaker 8: It's a profound tha's sarcastically.
19:52
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, but you see you
19:54
Speaker 1: kind of give it that it's lurking in the back
19:57
Speaker 1: of your mind, and I wanted to spell that notion.
19:59
Speaker 1: It shouldn't even be lurking there. You should be able
20:01
Speaker 1: to say that to the straight face. If they want
20:02
Speaker 1: to come out and say that's racist, you can laugh
20:04
Speaker 1: at them. It's not racist at all. Go ahead. I'm
20:08
Speaker 1: agree with you.
20:08
Speaker 8: I agree with you. I agree with you, and I've
20:10
Speaker 8: had this argument multiple times though. The whole thing is ridiculous,
20:15
Speaker 8: but it's a way for people to get theirs. Now
20:18
Speaker 8: we're getting arms, and it's all about greed. That's what
20:21
Speaker 8: this is all about. When you get an opportunity to
20:24
Speaker 8: take advantage of a situation or a group of people
20:26
Speaker 8: or whatever, what do you do. Do you take advantage
20:29
Speaker 8: of it, do you get your own?
20:31
Speaker 4: Do you lie and.
20:32
Speaker 8: Cheat and steal and work the system? Or are you
20:36
Speaker 8: trying to be an upstanding person? Back to the thing
20:38
Speaker 8: we talked about the other day about merit. Are you
20:41
Speaker 8: trying to prove yourself as as as worthy of whatever
20:45
Speaker 8: you're getting, or are you trying to prove yourself on
20:47
Speaker 8: a daily basis or do you think you're too good
20:49
Speaker 8: or too whatever to prove yourself and you're entitled to it.
20:53
Speaker 8: Some people walk around feeling entitled. That's for this Again,
20:57
Speaker 8: this goes across political spectrum, across gender, race. There's people
21:02
Speaker 8: in every sector that has this idea that they're entitled.
21:05
Speaker 8: You aren't entitled to jack except what you and your employer,
21:11
Speaker 8: or you and a person giving you money has agreed to.
21:13
Speaker 8: And unfortunately, we have too many people out there that
21:16
Speaker 8: have agreed to this crap. They're going along with it,
21:20
Speaker 8: and they're feeding into it, and they're donating to it,
21:22
Speaker 8: and they're allowing and they're looking the other way. And
21:25
Speaker 8: that that's why this stuff is so prevalent. And when
21:28
Speaker 8: it comes to voting, do you really think anything's going
21:31
Speaker 8: to change the City of Cincinnati's going to change their policy?
21:34
Speaker 8: Why would they did just one basically a landslide election.
21:38
Speaker 8: Didn't they mayor counsel all these people they won hands down?
21:43
Speaker 8: They didn't need to wait till after the election to
21:45
Speaker 8: do this. Why they did, I don't know. Wait for
21:48
Speaker 8: what for the voters to change their mind? Please, they're
21:51
Speaker 8: not going to change their mind because they're too uninformed
21:55
Speaker 8: to realize they're getting screwed by the people who are
21:59
Speaker 8: telling them we're here to help you. They're lying to you.
22:02
Speaker 8: Stop believing them. At don't vote Democrat. Have a great weekend.
22:06
Speaker 1: You do the same, Tom. Be careful out there as
22:08
Speaker 1: far as they didn't get a gasoline report from Tom. Anyway,
22:14
Speaker 1: real quick. Here to Lisa Reese on the program earlier
22:18
Speaker 1: this week.
22:19
Speaker 8: I like her.
22:20
Speaker 1: Of the three kind of commissioners, she has emerged as
22:22
Speaker 1: my favorite because she at least it hates this nonsense
22:25
Speaker 1: about the stadium deal. Well, guess what. Heven Kindty commissioners
22:27
Speaker 1: approved more than two hundred million dollars in upgrades for
22:31
Speaker 1: pay Corps that would be part of the new lease
22:33
Speaker 1: agreement which they re entered into exercise in the extension,
22:37
Speaker 1: and the county is still response for three hundred and
22:40
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars in upgrades. Apparently, these new funds the
22:43
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars are earmarked for infrastructure and technology improvements,
22:47
Speaker 1: including the oh my god, we need one of these.
22:49
Speaker 1: The Jungle Vision System commission President in East street House
22:56
Speaker 1: said the upgrades will benefit more than just those who
22:59
Speaker 1: go to the bankals games. Try to work with her
23:02
Speaker 1: on this one. Quote, it's the Bengals game, but it's
23:06
Speaker 1: also the concerts, the high school football games, and all
23:09
Speaker 1: the things that we anticipate in the years moving forward.
23:13
Speaker 1: And so we are simply upgrading an asset which belongs
23:15
Speaker 1: to the taxpayers, the tax payers who parenthetically we were
23:20
Speaker 1: promised a rebate, but we didn't get it, or at
23:25
Speaker 1: least only a fraction of what was originally promised. Bengals
23:28
Speaker 1: are going to throw in one hundred and twenty million
23:30
Speaker 1: towards these renovations, in addition to the counties three hundred
23:32
Speaker 1: and fifty million. However, Commissioner Alesha Ree substained from voting,
23:37
Speaker 1: arguing that the focus should be addressed on budget shortfalls
23:40
Speaker 1: and property tax relief.
23:43
Speaker 6: Quote.
23:43
Speaker 1: I feel everything should be put on hold until we
23:45
Speaker 1: get the budget together. It's not a separate thing. It's
23:47
Speaker 1: not the stadiums. And then over here to the people
23:52
Speaker 1: local twelve Christian Houserd reporting, give them credit because at
23:56
Speaker 1: least we get some local reporting out there, or at
23:58
Speaker 1: least she's focused on Yeah, ready, fire aim, Okay, here's
24:01
Speaker 1: the Bengals slice of the pie first, But then we
24:03
Speaker 1: got that pesky budget we need to deal with shouldn't
24:07
Speaker 1: be dealing with it all at one point, one time,
24:09
Speaker 1: at whatever it's we got a contractual obligation to do this.
24:13
Speaker 1: As terrible as that is, it's the reality of where
24:15
Speaker 1: we are. Five thirty six, Right now, fifty five KR
24:17
Speaker 1: City Talk Station. I'll be right back, fifty five KRC
24:20
Speaker 1: the talk station, five forty one if if you have
24:26
Speaker 1: KCD talk station. Jeffery has been waiting for this since
24:34
Speaker 1: five o'clock. He lets me know with an instant message
24:50
Speaker 1: every day or every Friday. Brother, Good morning, Jeffrey. Uh,
24:53
Speaker 1: there's your little bass riff. Let us see here. Going
24:58
Speaker 1: back to Tom's comment that all lives matter, in my
25:01
Speaker 1: comment is not racist. He knows it's not a racist statement.
25:03
Speaker 1: Say everybody matters. Did you ever hear the breakdown about
25:11
Speaker 1: how jingle bells is racist? We are into the stack
25:14
Speaker 1: of stupid. Parenthetically, I know it's joy Read, you know,
25:17
Speaker 1: I kind of view her as like some talking head
25:19
Speaker 1: or some Hollywood celebrity their opinion. Well, there you go.
25:25
Speaker 1: That's not Donald Trump's favorite word to describe as stupid person. Though,
25:28
Speaker 1: Joe joy Read said out a video saying jingle bells
25:34
Speaker 1: is racist, and I got the lyrics here, and I'm
25:40
Speaker 1: not going to read them all, but go ahead and
25:42
Speaker 1: try to remain objective when you're reading the lyrics and
25:46
Speaker 1: see if you can find anything in there that even
25:50
Speaker 1: suggests racism. Apparently the person who wrote it might have
25:53
Speaker 1: been a racist. Confederate did composer James Lord Pierpont fought
25:58
Speaker 1: for the Confederacy during this a war? But as many
26:02
Speaker 1: point out, does his you know, being part of the
26:07
Speaker 1: Confederate army and fighting for the cause of the Civil War,
26:10
Speaker 1: of course in the South that was the cause of slavery,
26:12
Speaker 1: does that make the song itself racist? And I'd never
26:16
Speaker 1: even heard of him before. I had no idea he
26:18
Speaker 1: was connected with the Confederacy, and I bet you didn't either. Anyway,
26:29
Speaker 1: I just am keep your stupid mouth shut. Not the
26:33
Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe. Of course, it's Friday, So we go to
26:38
Speaker 1: Florida with a naked guy Florida man getting to help
26:43
Speaker 1: he desperately needs after a viral video of him getting
26:45
Speaker 1: hit by a car while running through traffic. What unidentified
26:50
Speaker 1: man hit by the cars He's jogs through the busy intersection,
26:55
Speaker 1: but he jumps right back up and kept running. Miami
26:57
Speaker 1: police said The incident happened on Monday. Identified man was
27:00
Speaker 1: placed in under Florida's Baker Act and that means an
27:05
Speaker 1: involuntary temporary mental health hole. Police s of the man
27:08
Speaker 1: as a military veteran. It was high on some drug.
27:11
Speaker 1: That's in quotes. Driver of the car went to the
27:14
Speaker 1: nearest police station to report the incident. Well, the TMZ
27:19
Speaker 1: rights and we assumed to the car wash.
27:24
Speaker 5: Now, who can argue with that?
27:26
Speaker 1: Mansfield, Louisiana driver arrested after a pursuit on I forty nine.
27:30
Speaker 1: Chase started at De Soto Paris Sheriff's Office. Deputy found
27:33
Speaker 1: a man parked in the median shortly after three thirty.
27:37
Speaker 1: Patrol sergeants saw White said in the median, where she
27:39
Speaker 1: was headed to a separate scene. Requested a nearby patrol
27:42
Speaker 1: unit to check up on the driver. Deputy showed up
27:44
Speaker 1: found track Carlos Adura McNeil, forty nine years old from Houston,
27:50
Speaker 1: sitting in the driver's seat naked. Alty say he appeared
27:54
Speaker 1: to be under the influence of drug or experiencing a
27:56
Speaker 1: mental episode. How about I go with the former.
27:59
Speaker 6: Drugs are made at the.
28:00
Speaker 1: Soota s Sheriff's Captain Michael Dunn said they spent several
28:02
Speaker 1: minutes trying to talk with him to get him out
28:04
Speaker 1: of the vehicle to safety. The situation, however, escalated when
28:07
Speaker 1: McNeil suddenly drove off heading northbound in the southbound lanes
28:11
Speaker 1: against the flow of traffic going about ninety miles an hour.
28:16
Speaker 6: Why are you doing that?
28:17
Speaker 7: Though?
28:18
Speaker 1: I think it's the drugs oncoming traffic about a mile ahead,
28:23
Speaker 1: Dunn said. The officer of deputies used a pit maneuver
28:26
Speaker 1: to stop the vehicle, and it will be the knocking
28:28
Speaker 1: out of the rear end of your car while you're
28:30
Speaker 1: traveling down the road. DASHCN video shows the car spinning
28:33
Speaker 1: into the barriers. Mc neil refused repeated commands to get
28:36
Speaker 1: out of the car, continued to dance and yell what
28:41
Speaker 1: canine in it? This one canine? Karen deployed in successfully
28:45
Speaker 1: removing meil from the vehicle. Yeah, I imagine it did
28:49
Speaker 1: take him to custo, especially you're naked man. Can you
28:51
Speaker 1: imagine a canine going after you when you don't have
28:53
Speaker 1: any clothes on? How hard is it?
28:56
Speaker 3: Well?
28:56
Speaker 1: Not much after that, in a custody went to the
29:01
Speaker 1: hospital for medical evaluation. Donn said the sergeant or the officer. Fortunately,
29:05
Speaker 1: Karen the dog was not injured. Those dogs loved doing
29:11
Speaker 1: their job. They trained for getting people out of the
29:12
Speaker 1: vehicles and buildings. Good girl, Good girl, the deputy could
29:15
Speaker 1: be heard saying after the apprehension. After treatment, he was
29:19
Speaker 1: booked into Vesotto Detention Center facing charge of aggravated flight
29:22
Speaker 1: from an officer and resisting an officer. Could be facing
29:25
Speaker 1: additional charge, though now he's booked for aggravated flight and resisting.
29:29
Speaker 1: He does not have a criminal history in Louisiana, surprising everyone.
29:33
Speaker 1: Five forty six right now, be right back with more stupid.
29:36
Speaker 6: This is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio station, the talk station.
29:43
Speaker 1: Five point fifty fifty five KCY talk station. Yeah, if
29:47
Speaker 1: your list of school in business closings has only about
29:50
Speaker 1: twenty closings or delays on it, you're looking at a
29:55
Speaker 1: short list. It's longer than that. I want to appreciate
29:59
Speaker 1: Zimmerheating in Cooling for sponsoring the list. But the list
30:02
Speaker 1: that's linked is a little short. So mind your school
30:05
Speaker 1: in business closing selections. Now there you go, thank you, Joe.
30:09
Speaker 1: Let us see here back over to the stack. Is stupid.
30:13
Speaker 1: I don't get this stuff. Kenosha County, Wisconsin. We have
30:16
Speaker 1: a teacher there former underscore the word. Elementary school staffer
30:20

31:03
Speaker 1: She's still in custody, going to be sentenced in February.
31:05
Speaker 1: Enjoy the lock up. District attorney said, people who work
31:11
Speaker 1: in schools and whole positions of trust and authority over children,
31:13
Speaker 1: and when that trust is violated through sexual abuse, who
31:16
Speaker 1: represents a profound betrayal of trust and an immense abuse
31:19
Speaker 1: of power. Well that's an understatement.
31:21
Speaker 2: Who can argue with that.
31:29
Speaker 1: Thirteen year old thirteen year old boy. There's not a
31:36
Speaker 1: hot enough place in hell for people like that. Oh,
31:38
Speaker 1: here's another place. Another man's going to be joining her
31:40
Speaker 1: in the hot place in hell. Palm Beach County, Florida,
31:42
Speaker 1: where a teacher has been arrested on allegations's of improper
31:45
Speaker 1: relationships with his student. Twenty six year old Elias Farley
31:51
Speaker 1: was working at Donocline Jewish Academy Boca Ratone had sexual
31:54
Speaker 1: relations with one of his students, facing charges of unlawful
31:57
Speaker 1: sexual activity with the minor offenses against a student by
31:59
Speaker 1: an authority figure. They say the relationship began over the
32:02
Speaker 1: summer when the two could communicate through a mutually shared
32:05
Speaker 1: Google document. It escalated to the point of physical nature
32:09
Speaker 1: once the current school year started. Cord to the rest form,
32:12
Speaker 1: it included multiple encounters that occurred both in the school
32:14
Speaker 1: and his apartment, and finally continuing Athene Sadly Connecticut, Meridian, Connecticut,
32:23
Speaker 1: specifically a former music teacher there facing charges after police
32:26
Speaker 1: said she had an inappropriate relationship with a student. Several
32:29
Speaker 1: years ago. Sierra Picard, thirty nine, turned herself into police
32:33
Speaker 1: December second. They say she's been charged with five counts
32:36
Speaker 1: of second degree assault. Reported incidents happened while she was
32:39
Speaker 1: working as a teacher at Maloney High School. She resigned
32:42
Speaker 1: from the job in August. District called police as soon
32:44
Speaker 1: as had heard about the allegations. This after Meridian Police
32:48
Speaker 1: Department Special Crimes Unit said it took the case. Investigators
32:51
Speaker 1: said they looked at into claims about inappropriate relationships between
32:54
Speaker 1: her and the student who has since graduated. Student, now
32:58
Speaker 1: twenty five years old, police that he started being groomed
33:02
Speaker 1: by her as a freshman when he was fourteen years old.
33:06
Speaker 1: When the student was sixteen and seventeen, during his junior
33:09
Speaker 1: and senior years, he told police that multiple sexual assault
33:12
Speaker 1: incidents occurred. Said the relationship evolved after his father died.
33:15
Speaker 1: I'm sure she took full advantage of that fun fact.
33:20
Speaker 1: Now former student told him that during the junior year,
33:22
Speaker 1: they wanted a trip with Picard to New York City
33:24
Speaker 1: to watch a symphony. That's when he said they exchanged
33:27
Speaker 1: their first kiss. During that year, text messages between the
33:30
Speaker 1: two became sexual in nature. Picard asked the student to
33:33
Speaker 1: delete the messages can unring that bell in this modern age, right,
33:39
Speaker 1: Dave Hatter coming up at six point thirty. Police said
33:41
Speaker 1: they interviewed her in August asked if she had ever
33:43
Speaker 1: had relationship with any student during her thirteen year tenure.
33:46
Speaker 1: Initially denied it. However, police said she eventually said she
33:49
Speaker 1: knew the student to whom police were referring, then admitted
33:53
Speaker 1: the text between her and the student definitely crossed the line,
33:56
Speaker 1: and also admitting the relationship was not okay. Yet, she
34:00
Speaker 1: continued to deny the relationship was physical, told police the
34:04
Speaker 1: relationship matted in twenty one when the student told her
34:07
Speaker 1: he didn't want to talk to her anymore. Student eventually
34:09
Speaker 1: revealed to his mom that he had a relationship with her,
34:13
Speaker 1: A married woman with two children of her own, mom
34:19
Speaker 1: urged her son to file the report. Told police that
34:21
Speaker 1: he felt he could not say no to her because
34:23
Speaker 1: she was the direct teacher. Also said he's enrolled in
34:26
Speaker 1: professional therapy as a consequence of that relationship. She posted
34:30
Speaker 1: a twenty five thousand dollars bond. If she turned herself in,
34:33
Speaker 1: she'll be in front of a judge on the sixteenth.
34:39
Speaker 3: Es.
34:40
Speaker 1: The biggest douche of the universe, in all the galaxies.
34:45
Speaker 1: There's no bigger douche than you.
34:48
Speaker 6: You've reached the top, the pinnacle of douche. Them good
34:53
Speaker 6: going due.
34:55
Speaker 1: Your dreams have come true. Fifty five I played to
35:00
Speaker 1: talk about between now and six thirty when we get
35:02
Speaker 1: tech fighty with Dave hat or local card skimming case.
35:06
Speaker 1: Users say, in no way on Windows eleven upgrade and
35:09
Speaker 1: Google apparently sharing your text messages with your employer. We'll
35:11
Speaker 1: hear about that from day at bottom of the next hour.
35:13
Speaker 1: I hope you can stick around and.
35:14
Speaker 7: Be right back today.
35:15
Speaker 6: It's tough.
35:16
Speaker 1: Headlines six or six or fifty five KRC detalk station
35:31
Speaker 1: by Thomas wishing your own a very happy Friday. Be
35:33
Speaker 1: careful out there on the roads, A little slick. Lots
35:35
Speaker 1: of school and business closings this morning, depending on which
35:38
Speaker 1: list you have. It's a short list, it's the wrong list.
35:41
Speaker 1: It's a little bit longer than it should be. And
35:43
Speaker 1: not a criticism of Zimmer Heating and air Conditioning for
35:45
Speaker 1: sponsoring the fifty five k see school and business closings
35:49
Speaker 1: on the site, but the link which we're obligated to
35:52
Speaker 1: use contractually, so I believe yes, and quite accurate. It
35:57
Speaker 1: hasn't been outdated enough, so your conclusions from that. But
36:00
Speaker 1: I was checking out Fox nineteen which apparently has a
36:03
Speaker 1: more accurate list. And yeah, there's a lot of school
36:04
Speaker 1: in business closing, but you probably know that already because
36:06
Speaker 1: of modern technology. You'll get a text message anyway. Bottom line,
36:10
Speaker 1: be careful on the roads, and we got more snow
36:11
Speaker 1: to deal with over the weekend. Five three seven nine,
36:14
Speaker 1: Fred two three talk real quick, Jeff want we'll let
36:17
Speaker 1: people know. Come up to the bottom of the hour
36:18
Speaker 1: Tech Friday with Dave Hatter. We have men accused in
36:20
Speaker 1: a local card skimmer case. We'll talk about users saying
36:23
Speaker 1: no to Windows eleven upgrade and apparently Google sharing your
36:27
Speaker 1: text messages with your employer. Brad Winstrip and Studio for
36:30
Speaker 1: a full hour Private Citizen former Congressman Weinstrip seven oh five,
36:34
Speaker 1: and then Beverly Park Williams with her book Parallel and Separate.
36:37
Speaker 1: Local author has got a really interesting book. So that
36:40
Speaker 1: is on the lineup this morning. Over to the phones
36:42
Speaker 1: we go, Jeff, thanks for holding. Welcome to the Morning Show.
36:45
Speaker 4: Happy Friday.
36:46
Speaker 5: Right back at you, Hey, we think her about a
36:51
Speaker 5: startup company to compete with anti diarrhea pharmaceuticals. Perhaps we'll
37:00
Speaker 5: call it bowel laxatives matter.
37:05
Speaker 1: Okay, you go ahead and run with that. Iris Rowling's
37:10
Speaker 1: husband has a company called Black Lives Golfing, So joining
37:16
Speaker 1: the fun.
37:17
Speaker 5: That's that's why I just said the chime.
37:19
Speaker 1: Jeff, make sure it's a five on' one C three,
37:21
Speaker 1: so you two can be an NGO, pay yourself six
37:24
Speaker 1: figure salary and a very handsome one, and then pretend
37:27
Speaker 1: to get work done on behalf of the community.
37:31
Speaker 3: I'm shooting on.
37:32
Speaker 4: I'm shooting for a billions.
37:34
Speaker 1: There you go, aim high, Jeff, aim high. Appreciate the
37:38
Speaker 1: call and the levity on a Friday. Anyhow, Immigration, I
37:43
Speaker 1: have quite a few stories here. Let us begin with
37:46
Speaker 1: you want to? You want to? You want to? This
37:50
Speaker 1: is almost impossible to fathom, all right. You got under
37:53
Speaker 1: Biden administration, we had between ten and twenty million illegal
37:56
Speaker 1: immigrants flowing into the country. Right, you can't deny that.
37:59
Speaker 1: It's a fact somewhere in that range. And it's been
38:06
Speaker 1: widely reported and documented that that mass influx and mass
38:12
Speaker 1: of migration caused the price of homes to go up,
38:14
Speaker 1: most notably housing for the lowest income Americans. Now which
38:19
Speaker 1: party plan purports to be the champion of the little guy,
38:23
Speaker 1: helping out those in need, creating government programs to help
38:26
Speaker 1: those on life's margins. You know, it's Democrats. They champion it.
38:29
Speaker 1: They will not can't labor that point enough anyway. The
38:34
Speaker 1: same party that brought you Joe Biden and open borders
38:37
Speaker 1: and a ten to twenty million individuals flowing across our
38:41
Speaker 1: various borders and then of course needed to be housed.
38:44
Speaker 1: So there's a HUT investigation mass migration. Obviously as easy
38:48
Speaker 1: to conclude it had an impact on housing prices for
38:51
Speaker 1: the lowest income Americans. Department of Housing and Urban Development study.
38:55
Speaker 1: They do this annually. It's not just some Trump you
38:58
Speaker 1: know report that was issue. They do it every year.
39:02
Speaker 1: They look at quote, worst case housing needs defined as
39:06
Speaker 1: Americans who are low income but do not receive government
39:09
Speaker 1: assistance or welfare, and who pay more than one half
39:12
Speaker 1: of their income towards housing costs. And they reported and
39:19
Speaker 1: concluded a key cause of elevated housing cost prices apartments,
39:22
Speaker 1: notably foreign born population in the United States in Department
39:27
Speaker 1: of Health and Housing and number of Development's eyes increased
39:30
Speaker 1: by more than six million. I think that number is
39:32
Speaker 1: a bit shy of the actual number that came in.
39:34
Speaker 1: They say it contributed to a significant increase in housing demand,
39:37
Speaker 1: driving up housing prices, supply and demand. You cannot get
39:40
Speaker 1: around the reality, so that I think is an indisputable fact.
39:47
Speaker 1: We do have many call it a housing crisis. Maybe
39:53
Speaker 1: a Minnesota Lieutenant Peggy flann Flannagan, you know Tim Waltz's
39:57
Speaker 1: lieutenant governor, right, the same Tim w that allowed massive
40:02
Speaker 1: fraud to take place in the Somali run nonprofits siphoning
40:06
Speaker 1: off literally hundreds of millions of dollars from child attrition,
40:10
Speaker 1: medicaid housing programs. That scandal is really they just got
40:13
Speaker 1: the tip of the iceberg on that one. Anyway. Lieutenant
40:16
Speaker 1: Peggy Flannagan slamming Donald Trump telling CNN that Donald Trump
40:27
Speaker 1: wants to distract the public from cost of living increases.
40:31
Speaker 1: I says, raiding restaurants, lurking outside of schools, detaining US citizens.
40:35
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's this evil human being. He chose the Lake
40:39
Speaker 1: and Riley Act as the first bill of his administration
40:41
Speaker 1: for one reason. He wanted to legitimize his mass deportation agenda.
40:45
Speaker 1: She's saying he should be talking about inflation. Well, you
40:47
Speaker 1: know what. One way of dealing with inflation is to
40:49
Speaker 1: get rid of the dangerous criminal element among the illegal population,
40:53
Speaker 1: or at least give the illegal immigrants an opportunity to
40:56
Speaker 1: fly back home from whence they came because they violated
40:59
Speaker 1: the law, came into country without permission. Welcome to two
41:02
Speaker 1: point five million illegal aliens leaving the United States of America,
41:07
Speaker 1: which should have a profound impact on the price of housing.
41:10
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's working on inflation. One of the ways you
41:12
Speaker 1: work on inflation is get rid of these bad guys,
41:14
Speaker 1: and there are a lot of them. DHS Secretary of
41:19
Speaker 1: Christi nom announced this week ICE agents had successfully deported
41:23
Speaker 1: more than six hundred and five thousand illegal aliens, the
41:27
Speaker 1: majority of which are illegal aliens with pending criminal charges
41:31
Speaker 1: or criminal convictions. Do you want those people in your neighborhood.
41:35
Speaker 1: That's racist? No, it's not. I don't care what race
41:38
Speaker 1: the person is. First, they're in the country illegally, they
41:41
Speaker 1: came in without permission. Second, they committed crimes, period, end
41:44
Speaker 1: of story. Don't care what color skin they are, what
41:46
Speaker 1: religion they worship, or maybe they're agnostic or atheists. I
41:49
Speaker 1: don't care. It doesn't matter a whit. They're criminals, they're dangerous,
41:55
Speaker 1: they represent a threat to the American citizen, and we
42:00
Speaker 1: have every right to kick them out of the country,
42:02
Speaker 1: which is exactly what's going on. That's six hundred and
42:04
Speaker 1: five thousand of them that have been rounded up and
42:06
Speaker 1: kicked out. Now, aside from that, almost two million illegal
42:13
Speaker 1: aliens have now self deported, so gradually, slowly but surely,
42:20
Speaker 1: but in the first eleven months of the Trump administration,
42:23
Speaker 1: we can celebrate the fact that there are no longer
42:26
Speaker 1: in this country two point five million illegal aliens, not
42:29
Speaker 1: only causing the house because of the housing inflation, but
42:34
Speaker 1: also taxing the welfare state, which is already on unbelievably
42:42
Speaker 1: almost unsalvageable shaky grounds. So if you're one of those poor,
42:45
Speaker 1: downtrodden Americans who are are hooked to the umbilical court
42:49
Speaker 1: of the government for public assistance, you should celebrate this
42:52
Speaker 1: victory because a lot of the illegal immigrant populations are
42:55
Speaker 1: work are getting the same benefits that you are, except
42:59
Speaker 1: they're not entitled to them, at least from my perspective. Legally,
43:02
Speaker 1: I think they're allowed to get it, but that is
43:06
Speaker 1: one of the problems that goes along with allowing an unchecked, unregulated,
43:11
Speaker 1: massive humanity to come into our country. It puts so
43:13
Speaker 1: much stress on the social welfare safety net. Schools are overwhelmed,
43:17
Speaker 1: housing shortages developed. And then there's a criminal element that
43:21
Speaker 1: goes along with this. Department Human Services Tricia McLaughlin, or
43:32
Speaker 1: rather Homeland Security rather, I'm sorry. So the trum administration
43:35
Speaker 1: is shattering historic records and more than two point five
43:37
Speaker 1: million illegal aliens leaving the United States. DHS has deported
43:41
Speaker 1: more than six hundred and five thousand, and another one
43:43
Speaker 1: point nine have self deported. Hey, I guess the policies
43:46
Speaker 1: of work which they call a boon to the housing market.
43:50
Speaker 1: Pivoting over, Director National counter Terrorism Center announced yesterday the
44:03
Speaker 1: government has identified eighteen thousand known or suspected terrorists who
44:10
Speaker 1: got into the US under the Biden administration. Those are
44:14
Speaker 1: the ones that he acknowledged that his agency has been
44:17
Speaker 1: able to identify so far, and pointed out because a
44:20
Speaker 1: whole lot of folks snuck in have not been identified.
44:25
Speaker 1: No biometric data, no vetting, no nothing. They snuck around
44:28
Speaker 1: the border guards, there were no encounters. How many of
44:30
Speaker 1: those are there? You don't know. I don't know, and
44:32
Speaker 1: apparently he doesn't either, But you can count eighteen thousand
44:36
Speaker 1: of ones they've actually identified, those who our government has
44:42
Speaker 1: linked either directly to terrorist activities or deemed associates of
44:45
Speaker 1: those who are terrorists. He said they would have been
44:50
Speaker 1: blocked under normal immigration procedures, yet, in his words, the
44:54
Speaker 1: Biden administration not only let them into the country, in
44:56
Speaker 1: many cases facilitated their entry. One case, he pointed his
45:02
Speaker 1: specifically Rama La La Whatever La Khanwall, that Afghan migrant
45:07
Speaker 1: charging the shooting attack near the White House last month
45:09
Speaker 1: that killed a National Guard soldier and critically wounded another
45:13
Speaker 1: admitted to the United States as part is Biden. Biden's
45:15
Speaker 1: airlift of Afghan's in twenty twenty one, after years of
45:18
Speaker 1: assisting the United States war effort. He worked with the
45:22
Speaker 1: United States and was approved under war conditions in Afghanistan
45:26
Speaker 1: to assist the United States, but did not undergo vetting
45:30
Speaker 1: that should have been conducted before he got here. Just
45:32
Speaker 1: one illustration of what we're talking about here, he said,
45:34
Speaker 1: the Biden administration essentially used his tactical level vetting, which
45:38
Speaker 1: is a much lower standard from what I've read in
45:40
Speaker 1: the wartime situation. In Afghanistan. Now you're vetting is less
45:43
Speaker 1: of an issue. You're in Afghanistan. The guy's not going
45:45
Speaker 1: to get in the United States very soon. Oh that's right.
45:47
Speaker 1: When we pull out, we have an obligation to those
45:49
Speaker 1: who helped us. Maybe you want to ramp up vetting
45:51
Speaker 1: before you bring him into our country, knowing that, well,
45:53
Speaker 1: apparently this guy, had vetting been done, would have been
45:56
Speaker 1: identified as someone who's likely to shoot our military person. Now,
46:01
Speaker 1: he said, two thousand of eighteen thousand knowns or suspected
46:04
Speaker 1: terrorists and his agency has identified arrived as part of
46:07
Speaker 1: the Afghan airlift operations. Wonderful. So obviously a huge problem,
46:17
Speaker 1: and they're expecting more terrorist activity. We're coming up on
46:19
Speaker 1: a two hundred fiftieth anniversary next year.
46:21
Speaker 7: Mmmm.
46:22
Speaker 1: Elections coming up next year.
46:23
Speaker 7: Mmm.
46:25
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna call that a big victory. Yeah, let's
46:28
Speaker 1: worry about inflation, Lieutenant Governor Flanagan, Right, we should six
46:33
Speaker 1: seventeen right now, let's see, Brian, you're on the phone.
46:35
Speaker 1: I get your call right out of the gate. I
46:36
Speaker 1: just looked up and saw you there. I apologize, but
46:38
Speaker 1: I'm overtime in the segment Chimney Care fireplaces to have.
46:40
Speaker 1: Got to see the talk station six fifty five KCD
46:45
Speaker 1: talk station Happy Friday, speaking of the social weftware safety net,
46:54
Speaker 1: David Brian, just one second, conclude my point on that.
47:01
Speaker 1: You know, we have this inflation reality brought to you
47:03
Speaker 1: by the vast influx of illegal immigrants. Looking at the
47:07
Speaker 1: smaller community of Minnesota, they did a numbers crunch Center
47:11
Speaker 1: for Immigration Studies looking at Census Bureau American Community Service,
47:15
Speaker 1: or rather the Census Bureaus American Community Service survey shows
47:20
Speaker 1: eighty one percent of Minnesota households headed by Somali refugees
47:24
Speaker 1: are in one or more forms of welfare twenty seven
47:27
Speaker 1: percent or on a cash welfarecept, fifty four percent on foodstams,
47:30
Speaker 1: seventy three percent on Medicaid. Okay, fine, That doesn't suggest
47:34
Speaker 1: that all these smaly households are illegal, but the smally
47:36
Speaker 1: population generally, there's your breakdown. Now, compare that to native
47:39
Speaker 1: born Minnesota's twenty one percent on one or more form
47:44
Speaker 1: of welfare, only six percent on cash welfare, seven percent
47:47
Speaker 1: or on foodstams, eighteen percent on medicaid. Huh, what's wrong
47:51
Speaker 1: with that? Picture? Like everything? Just one illustration of a
47:55
Speaker 1: broader problem that's going on throughout the United States of America. Brian,
47:58
Speaker 1: thank you for indulging me on that. Thanks for calling
47:59
Speaker 1: this morning.
48:00
Speaker 3: Happy Friday, well, happy Friday in good morning. Yeah, let's
48:05
Speaker 3: address the beef prices. It somehow are Trump's fault, even
48:11
Speaker 3: though our herds at the lowest in the last what
48:13
Speaker 3: seventy years? Yeah, and screw worm in Mexico's keeping them
48:17
Speaker 3: from important from Mexico, which they've been doing for years,
48:20
Speaker 3: which was affecting our herd. But so you take ten
48:23
Speaker 3: million immigrants illegal whatever you want to call them, that
48:28
Speaker 3: eat one pound a ground of beef a week. That's
48:31
Speaker 3: ten million a week or five hundred and twenty million
48:33
Speaker 3: pounds a year. Gee. That that doesn't affect that price
48:36
Speaker 3: or supply of beef now does it?
48:38
Speaker 1: Of course? But you know what, Brian, the good thing
48:39
Speaker 1: that's coming about is, yeah, you got to pay seven
48:41
Speaker 1: dollars for a pound of beef and that's through the roof.
48:43
Speaker 1: But you know what, there's fewer cows. As you properly
48:46
Speaker 1: point out, the herd levels are the lowest they've been
48:48
Speaker 1: since the nineteen fifties or something like that. It's less
48:51
Speaker 1: methane Brian, cows, you know, have flatulence and methane is
48:55
Speaker 1: a greenhouse gas, and you know we got to get
48:58
Speaker 1: rid of the cows.
49:01
Speaker 3: Well, if you raise this calsa South America, the Flatlentstle
49:05
Speaker 3: effect atmosphere only one. It's in the United States.
49:09
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Fried. Excellent point. Just like the
49:12
Speaker 1: Chinese carbon dioxide output doesn't impact the global temperatures, only
49:17
Speaker 1: Western country's output. God bless you, Brian in six twenty five.
49:21
Speaker 1: Right now, if if I have cares to the talk
49:22
Speaker 1: stations speaking of calful atcellance Odor exit, yes, it will
49:24
Speaker 1: get me the talk station six nine on a Friday.
49:28
Speaker 1: It is that time appointment listening, necessary listening. That is
49:31
Speaker 1: if you want to stay out of trouble in your
49:32
Speaker 1: online antics. Brought to you by intrust it dot com.
49:36
Speaker 1: It's Tech Friday. But Dave Hatter, interest I dot COM's
49:39
Speaker 1: Dave's company. They do you outstanding work. If you're a business,
49:42
Speaker 1: I know you've got computers and computer needs. They are
49:44
Speaker 1: the default folks to rely upon. Interest it dot com,
49:47
Speaker 1: the business courier says are the best in the business.
49:49
Speaker 1: And who can doubt what they say about it? Dave Hatter,
49:52
Speaker 1: thank you for what you do each and every day
49:53
Speaker 1: for my listeners and their companies. Welcome back for another
49:56
Speaker 1: important discussion. It's time for tech Friday. Good here, Happy
50:00
Speaker 1: Friday Day.
50:02
Speaker 7: Yeah, Happy Friday to you, Brian and Joe and all
50:04
Speaker 7: your listeners. Happy to be here, glad you are.
50:06
Speaker 1: And this skimmer thing we've got, I know you relied
50:10
Speaker 1: on a local story about a convenience store card reader,
50:13
Speaker 1: a skimmer thing. We can talk about that, but this
50:16
Speaker 1: also goes along with the idea that they can capture
50:19
Speaker 1: your card information by you know, digitally or through the waves, right,
50:24
Speaker 1: I mean electronically. They don't even need to touch you
50:26
Speaker 1: or touch your card.
50:29
Speaker 7: That is correct, Brian. I mean it depends on the
50:32
Speaker 7: type of cards you have and the type of device
50:34
Speaker 7: they have. But what you're describing really is just another
50:36
Speaker 7: form of skimming. You know, when you look at this,
50:39
Speaker 7: you hear different terms skimming, shimming, that sort of thing.
50:43
Speaker 7: But basically, you know, most credit cards still have a
50:46
Speaker 7: max right, some have the chip. You know, you can
50:49
Speaker 7: use the near field communication to pay, the tap to pay,
50:52
Speaker 7: you can wipe your card. There's all these different ways
50:56
Speaker 7: that you know, you can get the information off a
50:59
Speaker 7: credit card. Or debit card. Now this particular thing again,
51:02
Speaker 7: We've talked about this before and it's showing up here
51:05
Speaker 7: once again in the Tri State area, people using skimmers,
51:08
Speaker 7: which are basically devices. Depending on the device, sometimes it's
51:12
Speaker 7: called a shimmer if it goes inside. But essentially you
51:16
Speaker 7: either put a device over the aperture of the credit
51:19
Speaker 7: card reader or inside the credit card reader. Could be
51:22
Speaker 7: a gas pump, could be an ATM, could be a
51:24
Speaker 7: point of sales system sitting on a counter somewhere. But
51:27
Speaker 7: you know, once you put the card into it, it
51:30
Speaker 7: attempts to read the mag strip, It attempts to read
51:33
Speaker 7: the chip again, whatever it's designed to do or tap
51:36
Speaker 7: to pay, it can potentially, you know, I could walk
51:38
Speaker 7: up to you with the right device on my pocket,
51:41
Speaker 7: bump into you and try to read the cards in
51:43
Speaker 7: your wallet. So there's a variety of different ways this works.
51:46
Speaker 7: We're just now seeing another real world example where someone.
51:49
Speaker 1: Did it well the old school way. The original way
51:52
Speaker 1: was to put something over the top of the original
51:55
Speaker 1: card reader, correct, I mean inside. Quite often you could
51:57
Speaker 1: tell that that had happened. You could grab a hold
51:59
Speaker 1: of it and jiggle it. It might pop off and
52:02
Speaker 1: then it'll be revealed and be in your hand. I mean,
52:04
Speaker 1: I at least there was an opportunity for people to
52:07
Speaker 1: try or look for something like that. How do they
52:11
Speaker 1: install these card skimming devices inside that device?
52:15
Speaker 7: Well, imagine just a small board, right, a small circuit board,
52:20
Speaker 7: and you just drop it in the slot. I mean,
52:22
Speaker 7: that's how small these things have gotten. Now. You know,
52:25
Speaker 7: sometimes there's a second angle to this, because everything you
52:27
Speaker 7: said is right about the older stuff. In many cases
52:30
Speaker 7: it would literally fit over right aperture for the credit card,
52:34
Speaker 7: so you're sticking your card through their device. Sometimes I
52:37
Speaker 7: might have a different color, it might be loose whatever
52:39
Speaker 7: with this With these newer, smaller technologies, again, it could
52:43
Speaker 7: be something if it's completely inside the slot, so you
52:46
Speaker 7: wouldn't really see it. You wouldn't know what to look
52:48
Speaker 7: for even if you looked inside. Right, Well, it looks
52:51
Speaker 7: like a circuit board. This thing's electronic, it's probably okay.
52:56
Speaker 7: So yeah, that's part of the issue with this, Brian,
52:58
Speaker 7: as if they get more smaller and more sophisticated, they
53:02
Speaker 7: get more difficult to detect. And in the old days too,
53:04
Speaker 7: and many cases you'd have to come retrieve the thing.
53:06
Speaker 7: Is the criminal to get the data out of it.
53:08
Speaker 7: But now some of these things can support wireless protocols
53:11
Speaker 7: like Bluetooth or Wi Fi or something like that. So
53:13
Speaker 7: once I've deployed it, I don't necessarily need to ever
53:17
Speaker 7: touch it again. As a criminal, I could just pull
53:19
Speaker 7: into it a lot and get the data off of it.
53:20
Speaker 7: So they've gotten trickier. You know, a couple other things
53:23
Speaker 7: you should look for, and again this depends on the
53:26
Speaker 7: type of skimmer they're using. Would be okay, if I
53:29
Speaker 7: have a debit card, I got it. The criminal's got
53:31
Speaker 7: to get my pin. So sometimes they'll also deploy a
53:34
Speaker 7: tiny camera or possibly an overlay over the keypad. So
53:37
Speaker 7: if you wheel up on one of these devices and
53:40
Speaker 7: it looks like it's been tampered with in any way,
53:42
Speaker 7: including like the keypad looks funny. It looks like there's
53:46
Speaker 7: something laid over the keypad where if you could potentially
53:49
Speaker 7: see a camera. Now I get this is a lot
53:51
Speaker 7: to look for. You know, these guys want to place
53:54
Speaker 7: a camera so they can see you type in your pin,
53:56
Speaker 7: or they want to put an overlay over the keypad
53:58
Speaker 7: so they can capture that pin. It gets tricky, and
54:01
Speaker 7: you know, as they have to apply these other devices,
54:04
Speaker 7: there's more likelihood to get caught. It sounds like, you know,
54:06
Speaker 7: these guys got caught pretty quickly, but it's certainly something
54:11
Speaker 7: to be on the lookout for. You know, A general
54:13
Speaker 7: recommendation I would make to people is to try to
54:17
Speaker 7: always use a device where it's in eyesight of another
54:22
Speaker 7: human being. You know, pick the pump that's closest to
54:25
Speaker 7: the cashiers. Pick the pump where you know there are
54:28
Speaker 7: security cameras. Again, it doesn't have to be a gas pump,
54:31
Speaker 7: though it could be an ATM. It could, it could.
54:33
Speaker 7: Even in this case, it sounds like they weren't tramping
54:35
Speaker 7: with the gas pumps. They were actually tampering with the
54:38
Speaker 7: credit card readers inside the building. So it's a tricky
54:42
Speaker 7: problem to solve, but if you know it's a thing,
54:45
Speaker 7: at least you can be more cautious and potentially use
54:47
Speaker 7: a credit card to avail yourself of the consumer protections
54:51
Speaker 7: with credit cards versus debit cards.
54:53
Speaker 1: I'm glad I was anticipating asking you about that. A
54:56
Speaker 1: reminding listeners uniform commercial code protects you you're only liable
54:59
Speaker 1: for fifty bucks if someone abuses your credit card, not
55:02
Speaker 1: the case when you're using your pin and having the
55:04
Speaker 1: money taken directly out of your bank account. That's danger
55:07
Speaker 1: zone right there. That is a really, really bad idea.
55:10
Speaker 1: And I guess these card readers, you said, someone needs
55:12
Speaker 1: to maybe have a video camera to see your pin
55:14
Speaker 1: or something. Can't they, you know, like record what numbers
55:18
Speaker 1: you're typing in when you're putting your pin in with
55:20
Speaker 1: these device readers.
55:23
Speaker 7: Probably not with it, and I can't say for sure,
55:26
Speaker 7: but with the reader itself, you know, typically it's just
55:29
Speaker 7: electronic Okay, an electronic device is trying to read the magstright.
55:33
Speaker 7: You know, the keypad is separate, but in many cases
55:36
Speaker 7: they'll put like a little overlay over it so it looks,
55:39
Speaker 7: you know, it's another keypad sitting over top of the
55:41
Speaker 7: real keypads, So when you punch your number in, they're
55:44
Speaker 7: capturing it from that, or they're placing a camera somewhere
55:47
Speaker 7: where they can see the keypad so they can capture
55:50
Speaker 7: that pin.
55:50
Speaker 1: Gotcha. And of course we can't end the segment without saying,
55:54
Speaker 1: you know, with regard to the reading of your card,
55:56
Speaker 1: just by being near you Faraday wallet, right, Yes.
56:02
Speaker 7: That's always a good thing. They saw the d blocking wallets.
56:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, just type in Amazon. You just got I know
56:08
Speaker 1: you people hate Amazon or love it either way. Just
56:10
Speaker 1: type in RFID wallet or something and maybe even I'm
56:14
Speaker 1: presuming they make purses along the same way Faraday purses
56:17
Speaker 1: and you there you go. You'll be protected at least
56:19
Speaker 1: from that type of shenanigans. We'll bring day back. We'll
56:21
Speaker 1: talk about users apparently not liking or saying no to
56:24
Speaker 1: the Windows eleven upgrade six thirty six right now, fifty
56:26
Speaker 1: five krsit talk talk station. It's six forty fifty five
56:34
Speaker 1: krsit the talk station doing that Tech Friday with Dave
56:36
Speaker 1: Hatter brought to you again by intrust it online at
56:39
Speaker 1: interest dot com. I haven't been I haven't used Windows
56:42
Speaker 1: and I can't remember how long. It's been more than
56:44
Speaker 1: a decade. I went Apple and for a different couple
56:48
Speaker 1: of reasons. But so I'm no longer hipped to the
56:51
Speaker 1: whole Windows upgrade thing. But why are users saying no
56:55
Speaker 1: to the Windows eleven upgrade?
56:56
Speaker 7: Dave Hatter, Well, Rian, I think it's a combination of
56:59
Speaker 7: the you know, first off, people get comfortable with the
57:03
Speaker 7: way a particular operating system works and don't want to change.
57:06
Speaker 7: I think people also don't really understand the risk of
57:09
Speaker 7: having end of life systems, you know, whether it's Windows, Linux,
57:12
Speaker 7: mac Apple, iOS, Android, whatever, or a particular piece of
57:17
Speaker 7: software like Chrome. For what it's worth, if you still
57:20
Speaker 7: use Google Chrome, I suggest you drop that, by the way,
57:22
Speaker 7: and switch to a privacy friendly browser like a Brave, Firefox,
57:26
Speaker 7: Tour or Safari. But if you still use Chrome, critical
57:29
Speaker 7: updates came out the other day. My point being when
57:32
Speaker 7: you have end of life software or software that needs
57:35
Speaker 7: to be updated, end of life means the manufacturer is
57:37
Speaker 7: no longer putting out any updates, right, So it doesn't
57:39
Speaker 7: really matter what the platform of software is. Once you
57:42
Speaker 7: hit that point, then you are, over time increasing your
57:46
Speaker 7: risk of some sort of attack against that vulnerability because
57:49
Speaker 7: the bad guys will find them and the manufacturer's not
57:52
Speaker 7: fixing them. Windows ten went end of life in October.
57:55
Speaker 7: So whether it's people don't want to switch because they're
57:58
Speaker 7: familiar with Windows ten, they don't want to spit the money.
58:00
Speaker 7: In some cases to upgrade from Windows ten to Windows
58:03
Speaker 7: eleven you need to get a new computer because the
58:05
Speaker 7: older hardware will not support Windows eleven, or it's they
58:10
Speaker 7: don't understand the risk. I think those are probably the
58:12
Speaker 7: four main reasons. Apparently from some recent reporting and some
58:15
Speaker 7: information that came from Dell, obviously one of the large
58:18
Speaker 7: PC manufacturers out there for the Windows operating system, there
58:22
Speaker 7: are a huge number of people who so far, despite
58:26
Speaker 7: Windows ten going into life in October, have not made
58:30
Speaker 7: the leap to Windows eleven yet. And again as time
58:33
Speaker 7: goes on, that's a bigger and bigger problem.
58:36
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I get all the points you're making,
58:38
Speaker 1: but insofar as ten versus eleven, to your initial point,
58:43
Speaker 1: people don't like the change or the look or whatever,
58:45
Speaker 1: are they that dramatically different?
58:48
Speaker 7: In my opinion, No, Brian, But you know again, people
58:53
Speaker 7: get used to something and then stuff gets moved around.
58:56
Speaker 7: They don't like the way it looks, and you know
58:58
Speaker 7: it in my opinion, Now you know me, mister tinfloy
59:02
Speaker 7: hat guy. Here, I'm going to tell you that the
59:05
Speaker 7: security risks to you, especially if you're not very technical
59:08
Speaker 7: and you're not doing other things to mitigate those risks,
59:11
Speaker 7: the security risks to you by not switching would well
59:15
Speaker 7: outweigh the inconvenience you're going to experience for the first
59:18
Speaker 7: several days while you get used to it. Now you know,
59:21
Speaker 7: people have other issues with Windows eleven. It's got a
59:24
Speaker 7: lot more let's say it's less privacy friendly than older versions. Again,
59:30
Speaker 7: all of these big tech companies have their issues, but
59:33
Speaker 7: just from a simple security perspective, not having an operating system,
59:38
Speaker 7: since that's the fundamental part that drives everything else you
59:41
Speaker 7: do on your device. And again this would be Apple, iOS, Android, Mac,
59:47
Speaker 7: whatever you're using. If you hit a point where you
59:50
Speaker 7: can't get updates anymore over time, you are going to
59:54
Speaker 7: substantially put yourself at risk because there are bad guys
59:57
Speaker 7: always looking for flaws. These things millions of lines of
1:00:01
Speaker 7: code in them. There are flaws that are yet to
1:00:03
Speaker 7: be discovered. I mean, Microsoft patch Tuesday once a month
1:00:07
Speaker 7: usually is fixing dozens of things, not all security related.
1:00:10
Speaker 7: You know, when you look at the Apple patches for
1:00:13
Speaker 7: iOS for your phone, usually dozens of things are fixed.
1:00:17
Speaker 7: As time wears on and those don't get fixed, you're
1:00:19
Speaker 7: putting yourself at risk. And now you may decide get
1:00:22
Speaker 7: off Windows and go to Mac, use Linux, do something different,
1:00:26
Speaker 7: but if you're still running Windows ten or worse, something
1:00:29
Speaker 7: like Windows eight or Windows seven, you are at substantial risk.
1:00:33
Speaker 7: With these older operating systems if you don't upgrade them.
1:00:36
Speaker 7: I mean just reading this Forbes article that I sent
1:00:38
Speaker 7: to Joe about this, right, the headline is security disaster,
1:00:42
Speaker 7: five hundred million Microsoft users saying no to Windows eleven,
1:00:45
Speaker 7: and then you know it goes on to say Microsoft's
1:00:48
Speaker 7: looming security disaster is worse than feared. Those aren't my words,
1:00:52
Speaker 7: this is from Forbes. The staggering billion Windows users are
1:00:54
Speaker 7: at risk is the sheer scale of the task. You know,
1:00:57
Speaker 7: goes on YadA, YadA, YadA, but they're just pointing out
1:01:00
Speaker 7: that you really need to get off Windows ten and
1:01:04
Speaker 7: anything older than that. Absolutely, you need to get something different.
1:01:07
Speaker 1: Well, that five hundred million figure serves to prove the
1:01:10
Speaker 1: point that you dis made. That's why the criminals are
1:01:12
Speaker 1: out there looking for ways to exploit old, no longer
1:01:16
Speaker 1: serviced operating systems. A lot of people have resisted so
1:01:18
Speaker 1: much it makes them an easy target.
1:01:21
Speaker 7: That's exactly right, Brian, And I want to point something
1:01:23
Speaker 7: else out too. Now. Again, I'm not here to advocate
1:01:26
Speaker 7: for any particular platform at this point, right, I'm mostly
1:01:29
Speaker 7: Windows based. Most of our customers and Windows base, that's
1:01:32
Speaker 7: how most business operates. But all of that said, there
1:01:35
Speaker 7: are many choices at this point. Again, even something like chromos. Now,
1:01:39
Speaker 7: I'm not going to use products from Google if I
1:01:41
Speaker 7: can help it. But you got Linux, you got Mac.
1:01:44
Speaker 7: There's a lot of choices. But to your point, you know,
1:01:48
Speaker 7: one of the reasons why Windows is more attack than
1:01:50
Speaker 7: others is because it has the largest user base. Right,
1:01:52
Speaker 7: If I'm a criminal and I want to steal your
1:01:54
Speaker 7: money or your data or ideally both, do I want
1:01:57
Speaker 7: to go after the smallest possible platform, where you know
1:02:01
Speaker 7: I have less opportunities, or do I want to go
1:02:03
Speaker 7: after the largest platform. So again, I'm not not saying
1:02:07
Speaker 7: Windows doesn't have its issues. I'm just saying one of
1:02:09
Speaker 7: the reasons why it's more attacked is because it is
1:02:11
Speaker 7: a much larger user base. And as these systems become obsolete,
1:02:16
Speaker 7: as you build up this technical debt, as you have
1:02:18
Speaker 7: these systems that can't be patched, of course they're going
1:02:21
Speaker 7: to go after those because it's easier for them than
1:02:24
Speaker 7: the latest and greatest version of whatever operating system that's
1:02:27
Speaker 7: got all the latest and greatest security stuff in it.
1:02:29
Speaker 4: You're exactly right.
1:02:30
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what. We'll pause now and we'll
1:02:32
Speaker 1: continue an attack on Google coming up next, Dave's Favorite
1:02:36
Speaker 1: Company six forty six. Right now for Cey Talks Station.
1:02:39
Speaker 1: I'm looking at him. He's in studio, Congressman Brad Well.
1:02:41
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Citizen Brad winsor I still want to call
1:02:43
Speaker 1: him a Congressman. Will be talk in a full hour
1:02:45
Speaker 1: in the next segment with him. In the meantime, Tech
1:02:47
Speaker 1: Friday's Dave hatters on yet another reason to hate Google.
1:02:50
Speaker 1: It's a real grabbing headline. Google starts sharing all your
1:02:54
Speaker 1: text messages with your employer. Well, there's a red flag, Dave.
1:02:58
Speaker 7: What Well, Well, Brian, you know the sort of typical
1:03:02
Speaker 7: of clickbait headlines. Now, you know forb Forbes generally puts
1:03:07
Speaker 7: out pretty good information in this space. You know, I
1:03:10
Speaker 7: read a lot, and particularly this author, Zach Dorfmann. He's
1:03:13
Speaker 7: pretty good in this privacy and security space. I understand
1:03:17
Speaker 7: what he's saying. It's not quite as dire as it
1:03:20
Speaker 7: makes this sound. And really it boils down to how
1:03:25
Speaker 7: text works. Right. If you and I are both sending
1:03:27
Speaker 7: messages to each other over Apple phones, they're into end
1:03:30
Speaker 7: encrypted because that's the way Apple text works. Okay, But
1:03:34
Speaker 7: if you're on an Android phone and I'm on an
1:03:36
Speaker 7: Apple phone. Well, they work differently, so the end to
1:03:39
Speaker 7: end encryption potentially goes away. And since the original version
1:03:43
Speaker 7: of text people can think back to their flip phones
1:03:45
Speaker 7: and how limited that was. Different protocols have been built
1:03:48
Speaker 7: to allow the exchange of more rich information, right, things
1:03:53
Speaker 7: like pictures and files and that sort of thing. Right,
1:03:55
Speaker 7: so that's come on over time. Well, again, how Apple
1:03:58
Speaker 7: does it versus how Android does it is different. One
1:04:00
Speaker 7: of the protocols to make that work without getting too
1:04:03
Speaker 7: nerdy is something called RCS Rich Communication Services, which basically
1:04:08
Speaker 7: allows you to do things like see when the other
1:04:10
Speaker 7: person is typing again, stuff that Apple's had for a
1:04:13
Speaker 7: long time. This works back and forth even if you're
1:04:16
Speaker 7: not on an Apple phone, voice messages, file sharing, group chats,
1:04:20
Speaker 7: all this sort of stuff.
1:04:21
Speaker 4: Right.
1:04:21
Speaker 7: So RCS in and of itself is a good thing
1:04:24
Speaker 7: that allows you to be more compatible between different types
1:04:27
Speaker 7: of texting systems. The problem, though, is is this article
1:04:32
Speaker 7: points out, if you know, most people are understand that
1:04:36
Speaker 7: email is sort of inherently insecure unless it's encrypted, and
1:04:39
Speaker 7: then it's easy to monitor. Most people sort of think, Okay,
1:04:43
Speaker 7: if I'm texting, my employer can't necessarily see that, and
1:04:47
Speaker 7: what they point out here and again why I say
1:04:48
Speaker 7: it's a little bit clickbaity is because if you have
1:04:52
Speaker 7: an employer supplied phone, right, they can turn on a
1:04:56
Speaker 7: feature in the management of the phone that would allow
1:04:59
Speaker 7: them to archive your text messages. Right, so they you
1:05:03
Speaker 7: and I both have Android phones. Let's say we're texting
1:05:06
Speaker 7: each other. Well, if that phone is supplied by the
1:05:08
Speaker 7: company and they choose to turn on this feature, they
1:05:11
Speaker 7: can archive my text messages. They're not really private. Now,
1:05:13
Speaker 7: I would argue, and I think you probably would to Brian.
1:05:16
Speaker 7: If the employer supplies the phone, just like anything else
1:05:19
Speaker 7: they supply, well, they have the right to monitor it.
1:05:21
Speaker 7: They're going to do what they want with it. I
1:05:23
Speaker 7: think that the thing that this guy is trying to
1:05:25
Speaker 7: warn about with this article is many people think that,
1:05:28
Speaker 7: you know, they hear into end encryption, they talk about
1:05:30
Speaker 7: apps like What's Happened Signaling this sort of thing, and
1:05:33
Speaker 7: they think their texts are secure. And if you have
1:05:36
Speaker 7: an I would argue, if you have an employer supplied device,
1:05:39
Speaker 7: the employer can put tools on that device and ultimately
1:05:43
Speaker 7: read anything they want. So I think this is just
1:05:45
Speaker 7: a it's a good warning for Folks, if you're on
1:05:47
Speaker 7: Android and your phone is supplied by your employer, don't
1:05:50
Speaker 7: assume that they can't access your text messages or you
1:05:53
Speaker 7: might have some trouble on your hands depending on what
1:05:56
Speaker 7: you're doing. But even better, Brian, I would just say this,
1:06:00
Speaker 7: anything you do electronically can be can be accessed. Don't
1:06:04
Speaker 7: assume anything you're doing in any electronic form is ultimately
1:06:07
Speaker 7: private to you.
1:06:08
Speaker 1: Well, I thought you're going to have a go at Google,
1:06:10
Speaker 1: like Tom calls everyone who says, don't vote Democrat, don't
1:06:13
Speaker 1: use Google.
1:06:15
Speaker 7: Well, you know, if you're in a situation where that's
1:06:17
Speaker 7: what your employer gives you, you may not have a choice.
1:06:20
Speaker 7: So you know, you need to understand what could be
1:06:22
Speaker 7: happening here. And you know this this is I'm reading
1:06:26
Speaker 7: from this Forbes article. Google says this is a quote dependable,
1:06:28
Speaker 7: Android supported solution for message archival, which is backwards compatible
1:06:32
Speaker 7: with SMS and MMS message as well. Employees will see
1:06:35
Speaker 7: a clear notification on their device when the archival feature
1:06:38
Speaker 7: is active, So that's good news. You know, if you
1:06:41
Speaker 7: have an employer's supply device and they turn this feature on,
1:06:44
Speaker 7: it will tell you that. But I also get a
1:06:46
Speaker 7: lot of people don't understand all this stuff, aren't paying attention. Again,
1:06:49
Speaker 7: I think the real heads up is if you're an
1:06:51
Speaker 7: Android phone user and your device is supplied by your employer,
1:06:55
Speaker 7: understand that any text messaging you're doing on that device
1:06:58
Speaker 7: may be accessible by your employer.
1:07:01
Speaker 1: Right, So don't act accordingly exactly Now there's the underscoring
1:07:07
Speaker 1: legitimately across the board, shenanigans and problems people might find
1:07:10
Speaker 1: themselves in if they do text information in the world
1:07:13
Speaker 1: that they don't want anybody else to read. I mean,
1:07:16
Speaker 1: I find people are so dumb when it comes to
1:07:18
Speaker 1: that they're leaving. They're leaving a trail of evidence for
1:07:21
Speaker 1: anybody down the road. So don't engage in untoward activities
1:07:24
Speaker 1: whatever those might be, and documented on text. How's that?
1:07:29
Speaker 7: Yes? And again you know, if you're if you're worried
1:07:32
Speaker 7: about this, get your own phone, use third party apps
1:07:35
Speaker 7: like Signal, which I would recommend over What's happened because
1:07:39
Speaker 7: that's from our friends at Meta. But also at the
1:07:42
Speaker 7: bottom line is even if things are in and encrypted,
1:07:45
Speaker 7: even if they're configured correctly, if you and I are
1:07:47
Speaker 7: messaging each other to signal Brian and we're doing something illegal.
1:07:51
Speaker 7: Once law enforcement has my device, if they can unlock
1:07:54
Speaker 7: the device, well it unlocks the encryption, and that's the
1:07:57
Speaker 7: content of my signal messages. So again, I think people's
1:08:00
Speaker 7: watch TV and they hear about end encryption and all
1:08:02
Speaker 7: this security and privacy. But at the end of the day,
1:08:05
Speaker 7: if I can unlock your device, will I unlock the
1:08:08
Speaker 7: encryption that protects as messages? I have them all. So again,
1:08:11
Speaker 7: understand what this all really means, Think about what privacy
1:08:15
Speaker 7: is in today's world, and act accordingly. If you're doing
1:08:18
Speaker 7: something illegal or something you don't want other people to know,
1:08:22
Speaker 7: you can't assume that just because something is encrypted, that
1:08:25
Speaker 7: it is protected, Because if I can unlock your encryption,
1:08:30
Speaker 7: I have it all.
1:08:31
Speaker 1: Hey man, interest it dot comments, we find David the crue. Dave,
1:08:34

Speaker 1: valuable and so informative and important. We'll do it again
1:08:40
Speaker 1: next Friday. Have a great week between now and then,
1:08:42
Speaker 1: and a wonderful weekend on top of it.
1:08:45
Speaker 7: Always my pleasure, Brian, I look forward to chatting with
1:08:47
Speaker 7: you next week.
1:08:48
Speaker 1: Citizen Brad Weinstrop in studio where you're talking to him
1:08:51
Speaker 1: for a full hour plenty of topics to talk about
1:08:53
Speaker 1: with Brad.
1:08:54
Speaker 7: Right back.
1:08:55
Speaker 6: Today's top headlines coming up.
1:09:23
Speaker 1: Seven oh six. Share if you have KRCD talk station.
1:09:26
Speaker 1: I'm very happy Friday Extra Special Friday, at least from
1:09:28
Speaker 1: my perspective, but I hope you share my perspective in studio,
1:09:31
Speaker 1: Former Congressman brad Winstrip, Citizen Brad web Strip, you still
1:09:35
Speaker 1: have your license practice medicine because I want to talk
1:09:37
Speaker 1: about healthcare with you. Welcome back, Brad. It's always great
1:09:39
Speaker 1: seeing you.
1:09:40
Speaker 9: Yeah, thank you, Yes, I do.
1:09:41
Speaker 3: And I am.
1:09:44
Speaker 1: I remind people it's doctor brad Winstrip, so.
1:09:48
Speaker 9: Yeah, and you know I'm still engaging here and there
1:09:52
Speaker 9: academically and especially but.
1:09:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, and a consulting love.
1:09:56
Speaker 10: Yes.
1:09:56
Speaker 1: Out in the world, I understand you have new employment,
1:09:58
Speaker 1: new means of income, but it involves the medical profession
1:10:01
Speaker 1: generally speaking.
1:10:02
Speaker 9: A lot of it at national security and security.
1:10:05
Speaker 1: Which we're going to get to as well, because we're
1:10:07
Speaker 1: seeing venezuela and tankers. Now we're dropping bombs on venezuel
1:10:09
Speaker 1: and drug dealers, and some really good success with Trump's
1:10:14
Speaker 1: trade policies, our trade deficit has narrowed substantially. More exports
1:10:20
Speaker 1: from our country fewer imports into our country. The tariffs,
1:10:24
Speaker 1: in spite of all the you know, the whaling and
1:10:27
Speaker 1: gnashing of teeth about tariff, apparently is now starting to
1:10:29
Speaker 1: bear some fruit for our benefits. So putting that aside
1:10:32
Speaker 1: for a moment, we'll get to that. Yes we will
1:10:34
Speaker 1: if we have done as expected. And now, of course,
1:10:38
Speaker 1: they had to vote on these various healthcare proposals, you know,
1:10:41
Speaker 1: extending these subsidies under Obamacare or coming up with an
1:10:44
Speaker 1: alternative solution. Both the Republicans and the Democrats senate versions
1:10:49
Speaker 1: of these you know, efforts both got shot down. We
1:10:52
Speaker 1: all expected that to happen. So we're back to square one.
1:10:55
Speaker 1: I guess at this point we only bought until what
1:11:00
Speaker 1: the eighteenth of December in terms of keeping the government
1:11:02
Speaker 1: open under the continuing resolution that exists. I seem to
1:11:05
Speaker 1: recall that being the case, they had to work out
1:11:07
Speaker 1: trying to hammer out the balance of the appropriations bills
1:11:09
Speaker 1: during this window of opportunity they're going to.
1:11:11
Speaker 9: Try to yeah luck right, Yeah, well you know they
1:11:15
Speaker 9: are moving. I will I will say that the people
1:11:17
Speaker 9: on appropriations are working hard. I will tell you that,
1:11:20
Speaker 9: but that's because it's under Republican control right now, But
1:11:24
Speaker 9: that doesn't mean that it won't still end up in
1:11:26
Speaker 9: some kind of end of your bill, an omnibus, well
1:11:29
Speaker 9: an omnibus or another cr which we've gotten so used to.
1:11:33
Speaker 9: I just don't know why we don't have a collection
1:11:36
Speaker 9: of people on both sides of the aisle that feel
1:11:39
Speaker 9: it's their obligation and duty to get this done one
1:11:42
Speaker 9: way or another, even if you don't like everything that's
1:11:45
Speaker 9: in it.
1:11:46
Speaker 1: It's one of the core job functions of being a
1:11:48
Speaker 1: US House Representatives member work on the twelve appropriations bills.
1:11:51
Speaker 1: What other jobs do you really have by way of
1:11:54
Speaker 1: I mean, if you had a list and do a
1:11:58
Speaker 1: responsibility memo or something. Working on twelve appropriations bills and
1:12:02
Speaker 1: getting them done on a calendar year basis is like
1:12:04
Speaker 1: first and foremost, and.
1:12:05
Speaker 9: I have seen it done. But sometimes it's just on
1:12:08
Speaker 9: not all twelve, but a lot of them, and we'll
1:12:11
Speaker 9: package those together. And right now I do see that
1:12:14
Speaker 9: Republicans are working hard to do that, because when we
1:12:17
Speaker 9: have the majority like that, especially in the House, we
1:12:20
Speaker 9: get them done. Now you get over the Senate, and
1:12:22
Speaker 9: that's another situation a lot of times, but that's the
1:12:25
Speaker 9: way our government was made up and we have to
1:12:27
Speaker 9: recognize that. But onto healthcare. Yeah, as you were talking about,
1:12:32
Speaker 9: the situation is such like the Affordable Care Act is
1:12:35
Speaker 9: not anything Republicans ever supported, right, they didn't support it
1:12:39
Speaker 9: to begin with. And the idea of these subsidies, as
1:12:42
Speaker 9: the Democrats promoted it during COVID was this is just
1:12:46
Speaker 9: during COVID, this is temporary. They put the end date
1:12:49
Speaker 9: on that under the guys that after COVID, we won't
1:12:53
Speaker 9: really need it. But the fact of the matter is
1:12:55
Speaker 9: they do need it to carry out their plan to
1:12:57
Speaker 9: keep it going, and includes things like increasing health premiums
1:13:03
Speaker 9: for the majority of the consumers to subsidize the minority
1:13:07
Speaker 9: with expensive medical conditions, et cetera. That's somewhat the nature
1:13:11
Speaker 9: of insurance anyway, I get that. But the way this
1:13:16
Speaker 9: is set up, it's just increasing the cost. It's only
1:13:21
Speaker 9: benefiting insurance companies for them to want to take on
1:13:24
Speaker 9: the Affordable Care Act as it exists. But the Democrats
1:13:31
Speaker 9: want these additional subsidies rather than recognizing that the Affordable
1:13:36
Speaker 9: Care Act was a failure. It's not affordable. It isn't
1:13:39
Speaker 9: it never was going to be the way it was
1:13:41
Speaker 9: set up, And you could see that. Yet you know,
1:13:43
Speaker 9: it doesn't matter. Well, they'll just call it affordable.
1:13:46
Speaker 1: Lord knows how it might have worked out. But the
1:13:50
Speaker 1: rug was pulled out from under. And when the Supreme
1:13:52
Speaker 1: Court did its original analysis of the constitutionality of it
1:13:55
Speaker 1: in the first place, right out of the gate eve,
1:13:57
Speaker 1: in spite of the fact that they found that attacks
1:13:59
Speaker 1: wasn't attacks, and they ultimately upheld it, they shot down
1:14:04
Speaker 1: the commerce clause argument. Democrats are trying to use the
1:14:06
Speaker 1: commerce clause in the United States Constitution to say that
1:14:09
Speaker 1: they could use it to force you to buy something. Now,
1:14:14
Speaker 1: they can prevent you from doing something under the commerce
1:14:16
Speaker 1: clause engaging in commercial activity and traveling across state lines,
1:14:19
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, but they can't make you, was the
1:14:22
Speaker 1: pronouncement from the Supreme Court. And once we weren't mandated
1:14:26
Speaker 1: to buy it and they couldn't force us to buy it,
1:14:28
Speaker 1: the house of cards collapsed on itself.
1:14:29
Speaker 9: Yeah, which is obviously what Republicans pursued too. Was the
1:14:32
Speaker 9: individual mandate, Yeah, because then you know, you're purchasing something
1:14:37
Speaker 9: basically at gunpoint or threat why with threat with threat
1:14:41
Speaker 9: of going to jail basically, And you know, but but
1:14:45
Speaker 9: Donald Trump his first action. Donald Trump during his first term,
1:14:50
Speaker 9: he in many ways solved a lot of this by
1:14:54
Speaker 9: getting the so called short term health insurance.
1:15:01
Speaker 1: There.
1:15:03
Speaker 9: Trump's clarification needs to be a permanent law where people
1:15:08
Speaker 9: have options to buy outside of the Affordable Care Act
1:15:12
Speaker 9: and have them available and so you can buy something
1:15:15
Speaker 9: that allows you to say, get catastrophic insurance or meet
1:15:20
Speaker 9: your needs and nuns don't have to buy insurance for contraception.
1:15:25
Speaker 1: Well, if you're outside of Obamacare and you're not obligated
1:15:28
Speaker 1: to work with Obamacare, buy and Obamacare plan. You've got
1:15:31
Speaker 1: two hundred plus medical insurance providers out in the world.
1:15:34
Speaker 1: That's what I speak for Cover Sincy. He's an insurance
1:15:37
Speaker 1: broger for medical insurance. There are hundreds of companies out there.
1:15:40
Speaker 1: You don't have to You can buy just a catastrophic
1:15:43
Speaker 1: policy period. That's it. You don't have to buy anything else.
1:15:46
Speaker 1: You might be really in a gem if you have
1:15:49
Speaker 1: some other problems. You're not going to have your your
1:15:51
Speaker 1: day to day regular checkups covered. Your you know, maybe
1:15:54
Speaker 1: emergency visits won't be covered, but you know, if you
1:15:56
Speaker 1: get clobbered with a cancer diagnosis, whatever, you might have
1:15:59
Speaker 1: coverage for something like that. But nobody can force you
1:16:01
Speaker 1: to buy something. Nobody can force you to buy Obamacare. Ergo,
1:16:04
Speaker 1: you don't have to buy this full plate of benefits
1:16:07
Speaker 1: that Obamacare provides that costs so much damn money. I mean,
1:16:10
Speaker 1: there is an open market out there, have a choice.
1:16:15
Speaker 9: Yes, you know, the same people that are have for
1:16:17
Speaker 9: decades been screaming about choice are often trying to give
1:16:21
Speaker 9: people no choice on other matters.
1:16:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the fact that there's not enough education out
1:16:26
Speaker 1: there about how the insurance market works makes people think
1:16:29
Speaker 1: that I'm only stuck with either what my employer provides me,
1:16:32
Speaker 1: which if you've got an employer covered policy, then you
1:16:35
Speaker 1: know you're a leg up on a lot of Americans.
1:16:37
Speaker 1: That's a good thing, I guess for a lot of reasons.
1:16:39
Speaker 1: I mean itolets market a little bit. There's some downsides
1:16:41
Speaker 1: for that, but whatever. But if you're not covered by
1:16:44
Speaker 1: an employer policy, you're not stuck having to choose an
1:16:47
Speaker 1: Obamacare plan. You know, you can go to a different
1:16:50
Speaker 1: medical insurance provider and buy only what you need.
1:16:54
Speaker 9: Yeah, isn't that an ad for an insurance company.
1:16:57
Speaker 1: It's an ad for cover sensing, and I'm happy to
1:16:59
Speaker 1: give it to them for free, just because that's what
1:17:01
Speaker 1: they do. And there are other brokers out in the
1:17:02
Speaker 1: world that may do the same thing as is my
1:17:04
Speaker 1: friends that covered since you, but you know, they pay
1:17:06
Speaker 1: to support the show, and I'm just explaining to you
1:17:08
Speaker 1: what they do, which is a reflection of the fact
1:17:11
Speaker 1: that there is a market out there that has nothing
1:17:13
Speaker 1: to do with Obamacare exactly.
1:17:15
Speaker 9: And you can and you know, the federal courts agreed
1:17:19
Speaker 9: the federal law allows for both to exist. Yeah, so
1:17:23
Speaker 9: let's put that though, clarify it in law, and without
1:17:28
Speaker 9: an agency trying to strike it down in the process
1:17:31
Speaker 9: as well.
1:17:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, we are our own worst enemy when it comes
1:17:34
Speaker 1: to this. I mean, and let's reveal the elephant in
1:17:37
Speaker 1: the room that I mentioned many times before. First off,
1:17:40
Speaker 1: because that mandate that you must engage in commercial activity
1:17:44
Speaker 1: that you didn't want to do, forcing you to buy
1:17:46
Speaker 1: the Obamacare shot down as unconstitutional. That blew up what
1:17:53
Speaker 1: the ultimate goal here. The Democrats want to keep this alive.
1:17:57
Speaker 1: It's on life support already. These supplements only make it
1:18:00
Speaker 1: appealing as an option because the premiums disappear. It's magic,
1:18:07
Speaker 1: it's free. No, the American taxpayer is covering and all
1:18:09
Speaker 1: that money's going to the insurance companies. So it just
1:18:13
Speaker 1: shattered their dream of what I call Medicaid for all,
1:18:17
Speaker 1: which is what they wanted. They wanted every man, wanting
1:18:20
Speaker 1: child in the United States to be insured under one
1:18:22
Speaker 1: single thing. That would be Obamacare. And it's going to
1:18:25
Speaker 1: be a boiled down form of Medicare i e. Medicaid,
1:18:28
Speaker 1: less coverage, less service, and of course the one size
1:18:32
Speaker 1: fits all get in line like a Soviet breadline. Reality
1:18:35
Speaker 1: of medicine that would bring about.
1:18:36
Speaker 9: Medicaid has at least success on health than any plan
1:18:40
Speaker 9: because it's not readily accessible. Not everyone takes it. This
1:18:45
Speaker 9: is what you would you would see it has the
1:18:47
Speaker 9: highest mortality and morbidity, and you will see people argue
1:18:50
Speaker 9: about medicaid and say, well, people are much healthier because
1:18:53
Speaker 9: they have Medicaid. Well you're saying they're healthier because they
1:18:57
Speaker 9: have medicaid compared to nothing, Right, it's not what we're
1:19:00
Speaker 9: talking about. But we're not talking about having nothing available, talking.
1:19:04
Speaker 1: About something that actually does what it's supposed to. Anyway,
1:19:07
Speaker 1: we'll continue with citizen Brad windsorrip doctor Brad winsterup in
1:19:10
Speaker 1: a moment, got a part company here, just mentioned twenty
1:19:12
Speaker 1: two three on round four two between Mason and eleven,
1:19:14
Speaker 1: and he talks Station Brien. Tim's here with well, he
1:19:22
Speaker 1: served his country. He probably continued to serve as country
1:19:25
Speaker 1: serve in the American military. He's a doctor. He's Brad Winsor,
1:19:28
Speaker 1: a former congressman and also someone who had his high
1:19:32
Speaker 1: level security clearance. You're on the Security Council right, and.
1:19:35
Speaker 9: I was on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
1:19:38
Speaker 9: and now serving on the President's Intelligence Advisory Board. I
1:19:43
Speaker 9: don't speak for either as I sit here.
1:19:46
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough. I was really impressed. I saw this
1:19:51
Speaker 1: article just yesterday. Israel is unveiled and has used and
1:19:55
Speaker 1: successfully deployed in combat this thing they call iron Beam.
1:19:58
Speaker 1: It's a super high power laser lock on targets and
1:20:01
Speaker 1: just a fraction of a second, and considering lasers traveled
1:20:04
Speaker 1: to speed of light, they can blow missiles out of
1:20:06
Speaker 1: the sky with it. It's worked, and it costs between
1:20:10
Speaker 1: a buck and two bucks in terms of energy usage
1:20:13
Speaker 1: to operate it. This seems to me to be a
1:20:15
Speaker 1: complete game changer, like drones were a game changer in warfare.
1:20:19
Speaker 1: We're not going to be making patriot missiles pretty soon,
1:20:21
Speaker 1: because if you can use this successfully and deploy this successfully,
1:20:26
Speaker 1: this technology is a absolute total game changer in war.
1:20:30
Speaker 1: Drones can be shot out of the sky. And I'm
1:20:32
Speaker 1: just kind of wondering, and you may not have any
1:20:33
Speaker 1: information about I'm not pressing you for that. If this stuff,
1:20:36
Speaker 1: this technology as developed, can work on hypersonic missiles as well,
1:20:40
Speaker 1: which pose the greatest threat. From my standpoint, you can
1:20:42
Speaker 1: chime in on that if you choose to. But if
1:20:45
Speaker 1: you can shoot hypersonic missiles out of the sky with
1:20:47
Speaker 1: this man, this is this is revolutionary.
1:20:50
Speaker 9: Well, we're always looking for point counterpoint, right, Yeah, no
1:20:53
Speaker 9: matter what someone has, do we have it and can
1:20:56
Speaker 9: we negate them? You know, that's a countermeasure, measures and countermeasures.
1:21:00
Speaker 1: Develop this with the Israelis and they use one point
1:21:02
Speaker 1: five billion dollars of our money to help develop this,
1:21:05
Speaker 1: and they've shared this with us, according to the reporting.
1:21:07
Speaker 9: According to the reporting. And look, the idea of iron
1:21:11
Speaker 9: Dome was in this same vein. It's always like, what
1:21:15
Speaker 9: can we do that may be better and cheaper, especially right,
1:21:18
Speaker 9: and so you want to pursue these types of measures.
1:21:22
Speaker 9: I've always had this in the back of my mind
1:21:24
Speaker 9: and sometimes I would I would express it that is
1:21:27
Speaker 9: there a better way than just a significantly kinetic force
1:21:33
Speaker 9: against this, but have the same result, if not better result, right.
1:21:38
Speaker 1: Right, So and cheaper, unlimited as long as you have electricity,
1:21:42
Speaker 1: this will keep firing, you know.
1:21:43
Speaker 9: Yeah, And you also want to look, you know what
1:21:46
Speaker 9: is the cost, right, how many dollars are going out
1:21:49
Speaker 9: compared to So they're spending dollars on a drone, but
1:21:53
Speaker 9: it costs a whole lot more for us to shoot
1:21:56
Speaker 9: it out of the sky with, like you said, patriot
1:21:58
Speaker 9: missile or something like a million dollars a pop. Yeah,
1:22:00
Speaker 9: so you can break the bank, which is what we
1:22:02
Speaker 9: did during the Cold War, right, We bostally basically broke
1:22:05
Speaker 9: the Soviet Union's bank because we had technologies and advancements
1:22:09
Speaker 9: that they just could not keep up with.
1:22:11
Speaker 1: Right, And so the Cold War basically.
1:22:14
Speaker 9: Came to an end. So this would be a huge thing.
1:22:19
Speaker 9: I don't think it developed overnight, so it was probably
1:22:22
Speaker 9: the making for some time decades. But I give credit.
1:22:27
Speaker 9: If it is there and it's capable. They did a
1:22:31
Speaker 9: good job of keeping it quiet because you certainly don't
1:22:34
Speaker 9: want the enemy starting to work on it as well.
1:22:36
Speaker 1: Well, And you can't deny that the enemy's working on
1:22:38
Speaker 1: as laser beams have been around forever, and they've been
1:22:41
Speaker 1: working on high powered lasers for a long time. The
1:22:43
Speaker 1: problem was the size, the portability, the speed of target acquisition.
1:22:48
Speaker 1: Guess what, we have modern computers that process data instantaneously now,
1:22:52
Speaker 1: so with gradually over time, you've shrunk the size of
1:22:55
Speaker 1: these You've made them more powerful, and you've allowed for
1:22:57
Speaker 1: locking into for targets in great accurate at least as
1:23:00
Speaker 1: demonstrated by the Israelis in this iron beam situation. And
1:23:04
Speaker 1: one can only imagine it's going to get better and better.
1:23:07
Speaker 1: I guess pivoting over and I know we're gonna need
1:23:11
Speaker 1: aircraft for a long time. But if the iron beam
1:23:13
Speaker 1: can shoot a high speed weapon out of the sky,
1:23:17
Speaker 1: I imagine it could lock in on a oh, I
1:23:19
Speaker 1: don't know, jet plane going nine hundred miles an hour
1:23:21
Speaker 1: F forty five. We got a huge appropriation for the
1:23:24
Speaker 1: development of a new replacement for the F thirty five.
1:23:27
Speaker 1: These things come in at a billion dollars or whatever.
1:23:28
Speaker 1: A pop boom gone in a fraction of a second.
1:23:33
Speaker 9: Yeah, Unfortunately, we have adversaries that are always seeking nefarious
1:23:36
Speaker 9: ways to take us out, and our job is to
1:23:38
Speaker 9: continually try to counter that. And now you're talking. It's
1:23:42
Speaker 9: interesting you bring that up because now you're talking about
1:23:44
Speaker 9: something that we control from land. It is the Israeli
1:23:48
Speaker 9: army that has worked on the Iron Dome and manipulates
1:23:53
Speaker 9: the Iron Dome. And I've gone to Israel and seen
1:23:56
Speaker 9: what they were able to do. But that's very expensive
1:23:58
Speaker 9: to shoot these things out the skies. But you may
1:24:01
Speaker 9: be seeing the videos, especially at night time, as these
1:24:04
Speaker 9: missiles are coming in. It looks like fireworks, it looks
1:24:07
Speaker 9: like orchestrated fireworks. It's like boom, boom, boom. They're just
1:24:10
Speaker 9: knocking them down out of the sky over their own land, right.
1:24:14
Speaker 9: So pretty effective tool where maybe two out of one
1:24:17
Speaker 9: hundred get through well, but there's cost to that, and
1:24:20
Speaker 9: if you can reduce that cost and have a more
1:24:23
Speaker 9: efficient system, that is a wonderful thing for us to
1:24:26
Speaker 9: be able to have. And the Israelis are constantly on guard.
1:24:31
Speaker 1: And they're a good partner to have, apparently a favorite
1:24:35
Speaker 1: of a lot of countries around the world. The eighth
1:24:36
Speaker 1: largest arms exporter in the world, the Israelis are country
1:24:40
Speaker 1: the size of New Jersey.
1:24:42
Speaker 9: Well it's innovation nation there, that's what they call themselves,
1:24:45
Speaker 9: and you know they do that. They probably have fewer
1:24:48
Speaker 9: regulations on their innovations.
1:24:50
Speaker 1: I imagine, and it does help when you got one
1:24:52
Speaker 1: point five billion dollars in the United States capital going
1:24:54
Speaker 1: into a program like this Iron Beam. But to the
1:24:57
Speaker 1: extent it works the way it's been described, I'd say
1:25:00
Speaker 1: well worth the investment. Seven twenty six. Right now more
1:25:02
Speaker 1: with brad Winstrup, Citizen brad Winsterrup. After I mentioned my
1:25:05
Speaker 1: friends at four seven thirty here pet about kercdcalk station.
1:25:14
Speaker 1: A very happy Friday to you, brad Winsterp, Citizen brad Winsterrip,
1:25:18
Speaker 1: doctor brad Winstrop, former Member of Congress, brad Winstrop and
1:25:21
Speaker 1: studio talking. And he still got a security clearance, so
1:25:23
Speaker 1: he's got all kinds of details that you and I
1:25:25
Speaker 1: aren't privy to. But he is informed and since he's
1:25:28
Speaker 1: been there and done that, he's a perfect person to
1:25:31
Speaker 1: comment on what's going on in the world. I love, honestly,
1:25:36
Speaker 1: one can like being correct. I kind of feel over
1:25:40
Speaker 1: the years I might have gone out on a limb
1:25:42
Speaker 1: a little bit to make my opinions known about what
1:25:45
Speaker 1: I believe in terms of this theory of global climate change.
1:25:50
Speaker 1: And I have always always pointed out, I think what
1:25:53
Speaker 1: is a demonstrable objective fact that carbon dioxide is not
1:25:59
Speaker 1: a pollute It is a naturally occurring thing. It's part
1:26:01
Speaker 1: of our atmosphere, and it's plant food. Plants thrive and
1:26:06
Speaker 1: live on our exhalation. Without it, plants would die. But
1:26:11
Speaker 1: they also give life giving oxygen in return for the
1:26:14
Speaker 1: carbon dioxide that you and I give them. Will lo
1:26:16
Speaker 1: and behold we have every single day, it seems more
1:26:20
Speaker 1: and more information. Now we have this science journal Nate
1:26:23
Speaker 1: Journal Nature retracting what was described as a catastrophic climate
1:26:27
Speaker 1: change study. We're all gonna die a la al gore
1:26:30
Speaker 1: greta Thunberg, Oh my god. And it's like, well, wait
1:26:33
Speaker 1: a minute, we were wrong. After so many organizations and
1:26:38
Speaker 1: these these Green New Deal type leeches and NGOs out
1:26:41
Speaker 1: in the world sucking up our tax dollars relied on
1:26:45
Speaker 1: the study to make the argument that they were worthy
1:26:47
Speaker 1: of receiving our dollars. Well, guess what, pull the plug
1:26:51
Speaker 1: on that one because it wasn't true. But there's a
1:26:53
Speaker 1: lot of articles like that that have been retracted after
1:26:55
Speaker 1: already going out into the world. You know, we can
1:26:57
Speaker 1: go back to the hockey stick, and they've since retracted that,
1:26:59
Speaker 1: which seemed to be the genesis of this whole thing.
1:27:02
Speaker 1: So what's your take on this and the throat slitting
1:27:04
Speaker 1: that goes on. We were talking about war between Russia
1:27:07
Speaker 1: and Ukraine and the break there brad and mentioned Germany's economy.
1:27:11
Speaker 1: I said, well, they cut their own throat. You had
1:27:12
Speaker 1: comment about Russia might have been jealous because they had
1:27:15
Speaker 1: such a thriving, booming economy in the European Union. Germany
1:27:18
Speaker 1: was the outlier, one of the biggest economies in the world.
1:27:21
Speaker 1: Guess what, they can't keep the lights on anymore because
1:27:24
Speaker 1: they pursued these policies. There's something really nefarious behind the
1:27:27
Speaker 1: scenes on this, and I don't hear about it as
1:27:29
Speaker 1: much anymore.
1:27:30
Speaker 9: How about you, Well, they know you don't. But they
1:27:34
Speaker 9: also became dependent on Russian oil and things like that
1:27:39
Speaker 9: because they put themselves in this situation, and then we
1:27:43
Speaker 9: under the Biden administration, ate it and embedded that because
1:27:46
Speaker 9: we reduced our outputs so tremendously and the rest is
1:27:51
Speaker 9: basically history. But you know, you point to something there
1:27:55
Speaker 9: you mentioned, was it Nature magazine?
1:27:58
Speaker 1: One of the studies.
1:28:00
Speaker 9: And you know, there are so many things I am
1:28:02
Speaker 9: finding out and have found out, especially during COVID because
1:28:06
Speaker 9: as I was chairing the Pandemic Committee, we did a
1:28:09
Speaker 9: hearing on scientific journals basically, and they were what they
1:28:14
Speaker 9: were putting out and what was their process. And you
1:28:18
Speaker 9: saw things being published that really weren't peer reviewed, that
1:28:21
Speaker 9: really weren't tried and tested. And there is a site
1:28:26
Speaker 9: you can go to that has retractions of scientific articles.
1:28:30
Speaker 9: And that's not just one or two here and there.
1:28:34
Speaker 9: I mean there are many. And of course so many
1:28:37
Speaker 9: people go on what ends up in a journal and
1:28:41
Speaker 9: in a magazine and take it as gospel. And so
1:28:45
Speaker 9: you can have situations where you know you're going to
1:28:47
Speaker 9: get published even though you know this isn't even that
1:28:51
Speaker 9: great of a scientific process that you used, and therefore
1:28:55
Speaker 9: it sticks because it meets your agenda, and then later
1:28:59
Speaker 9: it's re tracted. Well how much later, how much later
1:29:02
Speaker 9: when was that Nature article put out? I don't know,
1:29:05
Speaker 9: maybe it's in that.
1:29:06
Speaker 1: Piece that you're referring to, Brian, but this s four research,
1:29:11
Speaker 1: so pretty rests Damn Institute of Climate Impact Research, and
1:29:15
Speaker 1: lord knows from the name of the entity that did
1:29:17
Speaker 1: the initial study. You know the outcome of the study
1:29:20
Speaker 1: before you read the study itself. Oh, if they're the
1:29:23
Speaker 1: Institute for Climate Impact Research, weny guess they believe that
1:29:26
Speaker 1: carbon dioxide is going to kill us.
1:29:29
Speaker 9: Yeah. And I can remember too having a hearing on
1:29:31
Speaker 9: Ways and Means, not when Republicans were running the committee,
1:29:34
Speaker 9: but as the effects of climate change on health, and
1:29:38
Speaker 9: so they were trying to say, you know, it's destroying
1:29:41
Speaker 9: our health. We're not healthy people because of all this
1:29:43
Speaker 9: terrible climate change. And and of course that is then
1:29:48
Speaker 9: addressing the evils of energy outside of solar panels and windmills.
1:29:53
Speaker 9: And I said, have you walked through a hospital and
1:29:56
Speaker 9: seen how reliant it is on energy? And do you
1:30:00
Speaker 9: know that when Puerto Rico, for example, had two hurricanes
1:30:04
Speaker 9: and storms, they had to run on generators to keep
1:30:08
Speaker 9: people alive. So are you you know how actually are
1:30:13
Speaker 9: you thinking about this? Energy saves lives.
1:30:17
Speaker 1: Plastics generally speaking, what would the world be if you've
1:30:19
Speaker 1: got rid of fossil fuels completely and eradicated them A
1:30:22
Speaker 1: la Gretathonberg's wishes and desires? Hell that boat she floats
1:30:26
Speaker 1: around and wouldn't even exist because it's made up a
1:30:28
Speaker 1: bunch of plastics.
1:30:29
Speaker 9: I was in Chicago years ago when they had a
1:30:33
Speaker 9: brown out. I mean it was so hot. I was
1:30:35
Speaker 9: up there for a Reds Cubs game, and it was
1:30:37
Speaker 9: so hot that there was a brown out across the city. Brian,
1:30:40
Speaker 9: do you know that five hundred people died in their
1:30:44
Speaker 9: homes and apartments from the heat.
1:30:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, we say annually more people die from heat than cold.
1:30:52
Speaker 9: And therefore they're dying from a lack of energy because
1:30:55
Speaker 9: they had air conditioners. But there was a brown out.
1:30:58
Speaker 1: Right, it didn't work.
1:31:00
Speaker 9: Yeah, so you got to look at all sides of
1:31:03
Speaker 9: the issue, and not only that. As you said, what
1:31:06
Speaker 9: is wrong with photosynthesis?
1:31:08
Speaker 1: Nothing here? We learned about it in second grade or
1:31:10
Speaker 1: something like that. Didn't we the circle at the excellent.
1:31:12
Speaker 9: As it was a circle?
1:31:14
Speaker 3: Right?
1:31:14
Speaker 9: Yeah, see how it worked.
1:31:16
Speaker 1: Look what God created for us into those so called
1:31:18
Speaker 1: experts who say that this climate change is having a
1:31:21
Speaker 1: detrimental impact on our health. Over this whole period of industrialization,
1:31:27
Speaker 1: since we became industrialized and turned to the nineteen hundreds,
1:31:30
Speaker 1: right the industrial revolution we started using fossil fuels, has
1:31:35
Speaker 1: life expectancy increased or decreased? Well, rhetorical question.
1:31:39
Speaker 9: In many sectors though it's decreased, and that's because of overdoses. Unfortunately,
1:31:44
Speaker 9: that has nothing to do with climate change.
1:31:46
Speaker 1: Overall. We live a hell of a lot longer than
1:31:48
Speaker 1: we used to, so we do. And look, I'm heart
1:31:51
Speaker 1: of carbon dioxide and.
1:31:52
Speaker 9: I'm for clean water, clean air, you know, especially as
1:31:54
Speaker 9: the doctor, my goodness, we all want that those are pollutant.
1:31:58
Speaker 1: You're referring to. I don't want led in the water, mercury.
1:32:01
Speaker 1: I don't what are you eating that stuff? But that
1:32:03
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with what they're trying to eradicate,
1:32:05
Speaker 1: which is again not a pollutant. We'll continue with Citizen
1:32:09
Speaker 1: Frad Winster for a little out of time in this
1:32:10
Speaker 1: segment seven thirty seven right now, kersee talk station, Very
1:32:18
Speaker 1: happy Friday to you, former Congressman, Citizen Brad winsterrip, Doctor
1:32:22
Speaker 1: Brad winstermin Studio. Just kind of going through all the
1:32:24
Speaker 1: issues that we can get in during this hour. And
1:32:26
Speaker 1: you brought up but think a rather unusual topic, but
1:32:29
Speaker 1: what an amazing tragedy, what a horrific fire, the fire
1:32:32
Speaker 1: in Hong Kong. You brought that up over the break.
1:32:35
Speaker 1: You said you wanted to hit a point or two
1:32:36
Speaker 1: to raise about that.
1:32:37
Speaker 9: Well, you know, obviously extremely in a tragic situation. I mean,
1:32:41
Speaker 9: it was a tremendous tragedy. If you've seen any of
1:32:43
Speaker 9: the pictures and you know that people were trapped inside.
1:32:46
Speaker 1: That fire, horrific.
1:32:47
Speaker 9: It really looks like the Twin Towers on nine to eleven. Yeah,
1:32:52
Speaker 9: and they may not have collapsed in the same way,
1:32:54
Speaker 9: but just just a horrific situation. But what's amazing. And
1:32:59
Speaker 9: I was in Hong Kong before the actual ultimate takeover
1:33:03
Speaker 9: of Hong Kong July ninety seven. Well that's when it
1:33:07
Speaker 9: was authorized that the fifty year Plan, if you recall,
1:33:11
Speaker 9: but I was there before.
1:33:13
Speaker 1: They came in of the Chinese.
1:33:16
Speaker 9: The Chinese came in and said we're now taking this over.
1:33:19
Speaker 9: So they were still somewhat autonomous, but now they're not.
1:33:24
Speaker 1: What was a source of massive revenue for the Chinese
1:33:27
Speaker 1: Communist Party. They didn't want to touch it, but they
1:33:29
Speaker 1: had to because it was inconsistent with their business vlosity.
1:33:32
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean the world is changing too. I mean
1:33:34
Speaker 9: you look at the world of finance. You know, you
1:33:36
Speaker 9: used to say New York, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, right,
1:33:40
Speaker 9: Hong Kong. Yeah right, it was part of it. Now
1:33:42
Speaker 9: Hong Kong is just another Chinese city, and it's very
1:33:45
Speaker 9: clear when you see what happened here. They established the
1:33:50
Speaker 9: Office for Safeguarding National Security, which came out of the
1:33:53
Speaker 9: Hong Kong National Security Law, which was brought out in
1:33:56
Speaker 9: twenty twenty, which is just China saying we're we're in
1:34:00
Speaker 9: charge here, right, and in this result of this fire,
1:34:05
Speaker 9: you know, we're normally here, you're looking at who's responsible. Right,
1:34:09
Speaker 9: We're going to go in and say and there'll be
1:34:11
Speaker 9: all kinds of accusations or at least questions asked. But
1:34:14
Speaker 9: there they officials accused international media organizations of spreading false
1:34:19
Speaker 9: information and telling them literally on their website, they warned
1:34:24
Speaker 9: for foreign correspondence, exercise self discipline, take care of yourselves,
1:34:29
Speaker 9: and do not touch the legal red lines. In other words,
1:34:32
Speaker 9: be careful what you say about anything that may indicate
1:34:36
Speaker 9: that the government was not prepared for something like this
1:34:39
Speaker 9: and had had some things wrong. And the other thing
1:34:42
Speaker 9: that is, you.
1:34:43
Speaker 1: Don't have free speech on the CCP exactly run the
1:34:46
Speaker 1: risk of getting arrested or maybe being disappeared, and I
1:34:49
Speaker 1: hate that word. If you don't do if you don't
1:34:52
Speaker 1: follow the line.
1:34:53
Speaker 9: They were determined to eliminate any independent voices on this
1:34:56
Speaker 9: that might question the official narrative. The other thing, Brian
1:35:00
Speaker 9: is like NGOs and local community groups, normally they would
1:35:05
Speaker 9: have coordinated for displaced residents and things like this, But
1:35:10
Speaker 9: this Hong Kong is different now, and they're under one
1:35:14
Speaker 9: one party rule obviously, and they treat any kind of
1:35:19
Speaker 9: independent aid efforts with suspicion. So, you know, people in
1:35:24
Speaker 9: this country need to know that when government has that
1:35:28
Speaker 9: type of control, it's not a good thing. You think, well,
1:35:32
Speaker 9: government can take.
1:35:33
Speaker 1: Care of it. Well, FATIMA has been criticized many times,
1:35:36
Speaker 1: but Joe Biden politicized FEMA denied resources to the red
1:35:41
Speaker 1: state fill in the blank. But everybody got all the
1:35:43
Speaker 1: money when they lived in Blue states. FEMA's abuse. Thank you.
1:35:45
Speaker 1: You've got organizations like Matthew twenty five ministries who independently
1:35:49
Speaker 1: can take contributions and provide one hundred percent of those
1:35:52
Speaker 1: contributions where it is needed. How about that? Yeah?
1:35:55
Speaker 9: I love Coexist. I love the work that they do.
1:35:58
Speaker 9: Go visit them and blew it. See what they do.
1:36:01
Speaker 9: It's a perfect example of what people can do on
1:36:05
Speaker 9: their own basically exactly they and they do it. But
1:36:09
Speaker 9: in this case in Hong Kong, I mean any residents
1:36:12
Speaker 9: who took to social media to condemn either lax enforcement
1:36:17
Speaker 9: or mismanagement or corruption involving the building inspections they found
1:36:24
Speaker 9: themselves facing legal warnings or police visits, some things like that.
1:36:28
Speaker 1: Gee hold on, let's pause because we got to take
1:36:31
Speaker 1: a break. But that sounds remarkably like the European Union
1:36:34
Speaker 1: these days. Seven forty six will maybe get a word
1:36:37
Speaker 1: or two in from Brad winsterp on that after I
1:36:40
Speaker 1: mentioned Zimmer heating and air conditioning for and thank you
1:36:42
Speaker 1: for sponsoring the school. Seven fifty here if I do
1:36:52
Speaker 1: you have KCD talk station Happy Friday. One more segment
1:36:55
Speaker 1: with citizen Brad Winster tomorrow after the top of the
1:36:57
Speaker 1: owning is Beverly Park Williams. She's a local author. It
1:37:00
Speaker 1: has a really fascinating book about her mom and her
1:37:02
Speaker 1: mom's sister, Parallel and Separate, a tale of two sisters
1:37:07
Speaker 1: separated like really really young age. They didn't even know
1:37:10
Speaker 1: what each other existed, and grew up on opposite sides
1:37:12
Speaker 1: of the city of Cincinnati, and how their lives were
1:37:14
Speaker 1: impacted and the differences between the two should be fun, Brad,
1:37:17
Speaker 1: real quick.
1:37:18
Speaker 4: Here.
1:37:18
Speaker 1: We've got a sort of a decaying relationship with our
1:37:21
Speaker 1: NATO allies. I know there be Trump's made some comments
1:37:24
Speaker 1: about them. They are EU pretty much full on socialists,
1:37:29
Speaker 1: so they didn't even share our ideology at least what
1:37:32
Speaker 1: these left of our capitalist ideology. But what they have
1:37:36
Speaker 1: been proving day in and day out, Like the United Kingdom,
1:37:40
Speaker 1: they prosecute people for what we would call free speech,
1:37:43
Speaker 1: what I would say innocuous statements. Someone feels threatened, they
1:37:47
Speaker 1: get prosecuted for it. There is no free speech. There
1:37:50
Speaker 1: a demonstrable difference between us and the freedoms we enjoy
1:37:53
Speaker 1: under our constitution and what I would call oppression, oppression
1:37:59
Speaker 1: by European governments against its own citizens.
1:38:02
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:38:02
Speaker 9: I've seen some of those stories, Brian, and it's just
1:38:04
Speaker 9: really amazing to me that this is actually taking place.
1:38:07
Speaker 1: That's the only reason I bring it up, you know.
1:38:09
Speaker 9: Within our allies, even within our five Eyes partners, which
1:38:15
Speaker 9: would be Australia and New Zealand, But in the Brits,
1:38:21
Speaker 9: I don't get it. I just don't understand it. You know,
1:38:24
Speaker 9: why people are so willing to accept this those that
1:38:29
Speaker 9: are in authority. I understand why they like it, Oh sure,
1:38:32
Speaker 9: because this is their This goes to their elitism.
1:38:36
Speaker 1: If you will, only their answer is the correct one.
1:38:40
Speaker 1: You can't have an alternative, varying point of view. This
1:38:42
Speaker 1: happened to the Biden administration with agents in Facebook having
1:38:46
Speaker 1: offices established censoring what we were saying online. You know,
1:38:51
Speaker 1: we have a right to free speech in this country,
1:38:53
Speaker 1: and even negative offensive speech is protected.
1:38:58
Speaker 9: People need to really look at what are found put
1:39:00
Speaker 9: in place and why they put it in place. It
1:39:04
Speaker 9: makes complete sense. And look, we were no taxation without representation,
1:39:11
Speaker 9: that was the thing, but it was even beyond that,
1:39:15
Speaker 9: and now it's I think we've gone even further beyond
1:39:18
Speaker 9: that in some instances. But to see it over in
1:39:21
Speaker 9: Europe is really interesting. And I think that what you're
1:39:24
Speaker 9: seeing from the Trump administration too is a focus on
1:39:27
Speaker 9: our hemisphere as much as anything. If you look at
1:39:31
Speaker 9: where they are on defense posture, I think he's very
1:39:35
Speaker 9: concerned about what's taking place in our hemisphere, which goes
1:39:38
Speaker 9: back to Cuba having Russian missiles things like that. Right,
1:39:44
Speaker 9: But we still, I think, you know, we can't ignore
1:39:47
Speaker 9: the rest of the world, and the Trump has not
1:39:49
Speaker 9: been doing that either.
1:39:50
Speaker 1: I was pleased to see the least in so far
1:39:52
Speaker 1: as the seizure of the Venezuelan oil tanker. They got
1:39:55
Speaker 1: a warrant in court ahead of time, and they're going
1:39:57
Speaker 1: to go through the proper legal channels to confiscate the
1:40:00
Speaker 1: oil and keep it. They're gonna have a legal process
1:40:02
Speaker 1: for that. And that's the only concern I have, And
1:40:04
Speaker 1: I know anger a lot of listeners because I'm a
1:40:06
Speaker 1: constitutionalist and I believe in due process, and I'm worried
1:40:10
Speaker 1: and concerned about not only the legality of but the
1:40:13
Speaker 1: idea that a president might end up bringing us into
1:40:15
Speaker 1: a war by launching missiles and things. But at least
1:40:18
Speaker 1: in so far as the tanker is concerned, I understand
1:40:22
Speaker 1: it's sanctioned. It's an illegal tanker in the sense it
1:40:25
Speaker 1: was flying under a false flag. They got the approval
1:40:28
Speaker 1: for the warrant and the boarding of the ship, and
1:40:29
Speaker 1: they're going to go through that process. Now do you
1:40:32
Speaker 1: think it's an appropriate thing? Because this is going to
1:40:35
Speaker 1: regime change? This is the point of it. Oil is
1:40:38
Speaker 1: what funds the entire venezuel and govern at least ninety
1:40:41
Speaker 1: percent of it. As I've read that one ship. Apparently
1:40:43
Speaker 1: five percent of these social outlays in a month with
1:40:47
Speaker 1: the money that we got from that ship, or at
1:40:49
Speaker 1: least the value of that ship. Are you in agreement
1:40:51
Speaker 1: that we should engage in what is an obvious effort
1:40:54
Speaker 1: to change the regime in Venezuela.
1:40:56
Speaker 9: Well, there was an effort to change the regime in Venezuela.
1:41:00
Speaker 9: It was called an election, true, but what happened after
1:41:04
Speaker 9: the election It was stolen. It was stolen, it was
1:41:07
Speaker 9: completely taken away. So that's that's a good piece of
1:41:12
Speaker 9: the argument, because the people there made change by their vote.
1:41:19
Speaker 1: And there's people at the radio screaming right now, going
1:41:22
Speaker 1: our election was stolen back in time, right, Yeah, I'm
1:41:25
Speaker 1: sure there are.
1:41:28
Speaker 9: Beware, right, beware of this type of process taking place
1:41:32
Speaker 9: anywhere anywhere where they're claiming to have free and fair elections.
1:41:36
Speaker 1: Going back to unilateral bombing, I always say, you know
1:41:38
Speaker 1: what if Canada decides that someone in our country is
1:41:40
Speaker 1: a terrorist and they drop a bomb on him and
1:41:42
Speaker 1: buy he's in a mall or whatever. If there were
1:41:45
Speaker 1: outside countries that believe the twenty twenty election was stolen
1:41:49
Speaker 1: or any other election, they're going to start engaging in
1:41:52
Speaker 1: regime change here huh, hey, hey, listen, what's good for
1:41:56
Speaker 1: the good for the gander as well, at least getting
1:41:58
Speaker 1: to the truth. Brian, always the concern, And you know
1:42:01
Speaker 1: I always said, you know, I'm sitting in Congress when
1:42:03
Speaker 1: all this is going on, like, I really don't have
1:42:06
Speaker 1: a way to prove any of this because it's up
1:42:08
Speaker 1: to the states that run the elections to police their
1:42:12
Speaker 1: own and in Congress, you know, what can you do?
1:42:18
Speaker 1: So it makes it very difficult, But I am always
1:42:21
Speaker 1: in favor of getting to the truth, no matter what
1:42:24
Speaker 1: the situation may be, good, bad, or indifferent the truth.
1:42:29
Speaker 1: I mean, I went into the Russian collusion investigation. If
1:42:35
Speaker 1: Trump did something wrong, we need to know because what
1:42:37
Speaker 1: he didn't, they made it all up. See going back
1:42:41
Speaker 1: to it, well, we always point the finger at the
1:42:42
Speaker 1: evil doers in the Chinese Communist Party, or in North
1:42:45
Speaker 1: Korea or in Iran, and we can look inwardly and
1:42:48
Speaker 1: see comparable, if not equally offensive conduct and behavior. So
1:42:53
Speaker 1: got to mind our own ship or store. We're gonna
1:42:55
Speaker 1: end up losing it. It's been great, senior man, Christmas
1:43:00
Speaker 1: to you and your family with the little kids in
1:43:01
Speaker 1: the house, I bet it's a real exciting time over
1:43:03
Speaker 1: your house.
1:43:04
Speaker 3: It is.
1:43:04
Speaker 9: It is fun. I feel blessed that I have these
1:43:09
Speaker 9: two kids. They're just a joy, and you know they're kids,
1:43:14
Speaker 9: don't get me wrong, but it's just a great thing.
1:43:17
Speaker 9: And then Christmas time is especially special.
1:43:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, I miss those times. I'm happy with what I got,
1:43:22
Speaker 1: trust me and living my best life, but I really
1:43:24
Speaker 1: miss the little kid company. Maybe someday I'll get a grandchild.
1:43:27
Speaker 1: Lauren Eric seven fifty seven, Brad, take care of my brother.
1:43:31
Speaker 1: It's great seeing you. Merry Christmas and we'll talk again
1:43:33
Speaker 1: coming up with the next year, I hope.
1:43:35
Speaker 9: Oh absolutely, we always have more. Matter of fact, we
1:43:37
Speaker 9: have more today.
1:43:38
Speaker 1: But we are just dreams of it. Stick around. We're
1:43:41
Speaker 1: gonna hear from Beverly Park Williams with their new books.
1:43:43
Speaker 1: She's a local author, parallel and separate after.
1:43:46
Speaker 6: The news, Today's top headlines coming.
1:44:00
Speaker 1: Of course, So if future here in the fifty five
1:44:01
Speaker 1: Kersey Morning Show from time to time local authors, I
1:44:03
Speaker 1: think it's really cool. Do we have local authors. They
1:44:05
Speaker 1: prove that, yes, you can write a book, you can
1:44:07
Speaker 1: get a book published. And one of the women who's
1:44:11
Speaker 1: going to explain how that is done in her impetus
1:44:13
Speaker 1: behind writing and getting involved in writing. Beverly Park Williams,
1:44:16
Speaker 1: it's Beverly. It's a pleasure to have you on the
1:44:18
Speaker 1: program today.
1:44:20
Speaker 11: Thank you for this opportunity.
1:44:22
Speaker 1: Oh, it's my pleasure. I appreciate you forwarding a copy
1:44:24
Speaker 1: of the book. I will admit upfront, I'm not going
1:44:25
Speaker 1: to lie to you. I haven't had an opportunity to
1:44:27
Speaker 1: read it yet. I note that the book Parallel But
1:44:30
Speaker 1: and Separate. This is the name of your second book,
1:44:33
Speaker 1: Parallel and Separate, A Tale of Two Sisters. Does this
1:44:37
Speaker 1: book number two involve the same subject matter as your
1:44:41
Speaker 1: first book, Separate but Parallel?
1:44:44
Speaker 11: Yes, actually the story both stories are about two sisters,
1:44:49
Speaker 11: Janet and Shirley. The first book is really about Turley,
1:44:55
Speaker 11: who is my mother. After I've moved her into a
1:44:59
Speaker 11: nursing home in Anderson Township, I spent a lot of
1:45:02
Speaker 11: time with her, and she began to tell me many
1:45:06
Speaker 11: stories for life. And the stories became so numerous. I
1:45:11
Speaker 11: purchased a handheld recorder and after more than two years
1:45:15
Speaker 11: of recording, I transcribed almost three hundred pages of notes
1:45:21
Speaker 11: and that became the first book.
1:45:23
Speaker 1: Well, and that's I guess primarily one of the reasons
1:45:25
Speaker 1: I asked. This is not a short book. It's your
1:45:28
Speaker 1: your separate book we're talking about today, parallel and separate.
1:45:31
Speaker 1: It comes in at four hundred and fifty pages. This
1:45:34
Speaker 1: is I guess, the story of Shirley and jen At
1:45:38
Speaker 1: her sister. Shirley, you said already is your mom. They
1:45:41
Speaker 1: were separated very close to birth. I guess your Your
1:45:47
Speaker 1: mother was a newborn and your aunt was three years
1:45:50
Speaker 1: old when they separated. But they both lived in the
1:45:53
Speaker 1: Greater Cincinnati area, yet had no idea of each other's existence.
1:45:57
Speaker 1: As I understand, it is that accurate.
1:46:00
Speaker 11: Yes, their families, both the father for Janet and the
1:46:04
Speaker 11: mother for Shirley, kept it a secrets. So they were separated,
1:46:11
Speaker 11: not knowing about one another, to be reunited seventy years later,
1:46:17
Speaker 11: seven decades later.
1:46:19
Speaker 1: That is truly amazing. Now, they grew up differently. Not
1:46:24
Speaker 1: only were they separated, not only did they not know
1:46:26
Speaker 1: each other, and they grew up on opposite sides of
1:46:28
Speaker 1: the town. They also were quite different in the socioeconomic upbringing,
1:46:33
Speaker 1: were they not?
1:46:35
Speaker 5: Yes, they were.
1:46:36
Speaker 11: Actually Janet was kept by her father and her father's
1:46:41
Speaker 11: parents and they lived a fairly middle class life on
1:46:45
Speaker 11: the West Side. When the grandfather separated the two sisters,
1:46:52
Speaker 11: he thought that my mother would go with their mother
1:46:56
Speaker 11: and live with their mother's relative. Fortunately, their mother had
1:47:01
Speaker 11: been adopted by an elderly couple in Hyde Park, and
1:47:07
Speaker 11: both the couple, the grandmother and the grandfather, were in
1:47:12
Speaker 11: nursing home, so Shirley and her mother were pretty much
1:47:16
Speaker 11: left to fend for themselves. On the East Side, Shirley
1:47:20
Speaker 11: grew up in poverty.
1:47:23
Speaker 1: Oh so, I guess I'm wildly curious. Since they were
1:47:29
Speaker 1: sisters obviously genetically linked, did they sort of I hate
1:47:33
Speaker 1: these words, turn out after seventy years of life. Were
1:47:37
Speaker 1: they different people? Different political philosophies obviously, maybe different socioeconomy,
1:47:41
Speaker 1: because that depends on what they ended up doing for
1:47:43
Speaker 1: a living. But personality wise, was there a consistency or
1:47:47
Speaker 1: were they dramatically different people having lived these separate lives
1:47:50
Speaker 1: when they finally met each other.
1:47:52
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's a great question because they were very different
1:47:58
Speaker 11: because of growing up on the West Side. Her family
1:48:02
Speaker 11: was Catholic, of course, and sent Janet to Catholic girls' school.
1:48:10
Speaker 11: My mother and her mother were Protestant, and as they
1:48:15
Speaker 11: came to know one another. Seventy years later, they realized
1:48:20
Speaker 11: that I had very different political views.
1:48:25
Speaker 1: Well, that's kind of the point I was coming I
1:48:27
Speaker 1: was going to come to. I'm glad you brought it
1:48:29
Speaker 1: up yourself, because I'm going to pry into the politics
1:48:30
Speaker 1: of it. So different religious philosophy and then different political philosophies.
1:48:35
Speaker 1: So I presume one Democrat one Republican was as simple
1:48:38
Speaker 1: as boiling it down to that. Was there something beyond that?
1:48:41
Speaker 11: Now's that's exactly right.
1:48:44
Speaker 1: East side was Republican, right, Yes, just like the West side.
1:48:49
Speaker 1: You cander us expect it's going to be from a
1:48:50
Speaker 1: Catholic family. Having grown up in del High I'm hip
1:48:54
Speaker 1: to that. Beverly. There were two children in my mom
1:48:56
Speaker 1: and dad's family, and there were mostly five and six
1:48:58
Speaker 1: children in the balance of the neighborhoods face. I'll let
1:49:00
Speaker 1: you do the math on who is Catholic and who wasn't.
1:49:04
Speaker 1: So why will my listeners Beverly Williams, author of the
1:49:08
Speaker 1: book Parallel and Separate, A Tale of Two Sisters? Why
1:49:11
Speaker 1: will my listeners find your family history and the lives
1:49:15
Speaker 1: of your mother and her sister growing up severally? A
1:49:18
Speaker 1: fascinating story worthy of reading, Beverly.
1:49:21
Speaker 11: The reason is truly the setting of Cincinnati. In book
1:49:28
Speaker 11: one for my mother and in book two for my
1:49:31
Speaker 11: aunt Janet, they bring to the book memories from both
1:49:37
Speaker 11: the West Side and the East Side, and I think people,
1:49:41
Speaker 11: particularly in the local area can relate to those memories
1:49:46
Speaker 11: as well as the incredible part of their memories also
1:49:51
Speaker 11: of downtown Landmark. So you have to wonder did they
1:49:55
Speaker 11: see each other on Fountain Square? Did they me one
1:50:00
Speaker 11: another on a bus and not know that they were books?
1:50:05
Speaker 11: And their grandfather and their father were the groundskeepers at
1:50:10
Speaker 11: Coney Island, So Coney Island is a is somewhat of
1:50:16
Speaker 11: a focus of both books. Now in book two, I
1:50:20
Speaker 11: had the time. My mother had passed, so I had
1:50:24
Speaker 11: the time to do research on where did their father's
1:50:28
Speaker 11: ancestors come from and where did their mother's ancestors come from?
1:50:33
Speaker 11: And I add that detail in book two.
1:50:37
Speaker 1: Wonderful. So the very interesting and quite unusual story of
1:50:42
Speaker 1: them being separated at such a young agent growing up
1:50:45
Speaker 1: in the same town, but you know, not knowing each
1:50:47
Speaker 1: other is a vehicle to bring in all of this,
1:50:50
Speaker 1: you know, relevant Cincinnati area history, I suppose, is how
1:50:54
Speaker 1: you boil that down. Yes, exactly, great well local historians,
1:50:59
Speaker 1: and uh, I guess maybe Peter Bronson should read a
1:51:02
Speaker 1: copy of this, since he writes local history. Relieved by
1:51:05
Speaker 1: the way, Peter Bronson's new book was great. I finished
1:51:08
Speaker 1: it the other day. You'll love it anyhow, So I
1:51:11
Speaker 1: want to ask you, Beverly, what was and and maybe
1:51:15
Speaker 1: you mentioned it before and I'm sorry I didn't process it,
1:51:17
Speaker 1: But I'm curious to know why the Shirley and Janet
1:51:21
Speaker 1: didn't know each other, Why they kept this sort of
1:51:23
Speaker 1: a family secret, that that that you know they had
1:51:26
Speaker 1: Aye had a sibling living across town. What happened to
1:51:29
Speaker 1: prevent you your mom and her sister from knowing about
1:51:32
Speaker 1: each other?
1:51:34
Speaker 11: They believed it was somewhat of a shameful issue that
1:51:40
Speaker 11: the grandfather had separated the two sisters, especially not allowing
1:51:47
Speaker 11: them to get to know one another, not allowing them
1:51:51
Speaker 11: the same privileges in life. So what is what is
1:51:57
Speaker 11: the reason? Betid my title? Both sisters grew up obviously
1:52:02
Speaker 11: separate from one another, but as they become young working
1:52:07
Speaker 11: women and then wives, and then mothers and even grandmothers
1:52:12
Speaker 11: and then widows. During the time that they became reunited,
1:52:17
Speaker 11: they realized that truly they were. They had lives more
1:52:21
Speaker 11: in parallel to one another than they initially believed.
1:52:26
Speaker 1: How much time are they able to spend each other?
1:52:28
Speaker 1: Did they create a friendship or a strong relationship after
1:52:31
Speaker 1: meeting after seventy years? And how long were they around
1:52:35
Speaker 1: if they did, in fact spend any time together? How
1:52:37
Speaker 1: long were they around to do that.
1:52:39
Speaker 11: They did when they were both in there obviously their seventies.
1:52:43
Speaker 11: They wrote to one another, they sent cards, they talked. Initially,
1:52:49
Speaker 11: they tucked on the phone a lot, and had lunches
1:52:51
Speaker 11: and dinners and even had a spontaneous crypt of Florida together.
1:52:56
Speaker 11: But over time, as they become more and more elderly,
1:53:03
Speaker 11: they began to decline in their relationship. And once I
1:53:08
Speaker 11: put my mother in a nursing home, their relationship really deteriorated.
1:53:13
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to hear that. But at least they got
1:53:15
Speaker 1: to spend time together learn about each other, and you
1:53:17
Speaker 1: got this fascinating story that obviously we're compelled to write about.
1:53:20
Speaker 1: To the budding authors out there, people who think, oh,
1:53:23
Speaker 1: there's no way I'm ever going to get published, can't
1:53:25
Speaker 1: do it, How did you manage to is these are
1:53:28
Speaker 1: the first books you've written?
1:53:30
Speaker 4: Yes, okay they are.
1:53:32
Speaker 1: That's well, that's an accomplishment and in itself. So what
1:53:35
Speaker 1: kind of what recommendation is a local author and is
1:53:37
Speaker 1: it obviously a not well published yet anyway, would you
1:53:43
Speaker 1: give the people who might be inspired to write a book,
1:53:45
Speaker 1: or maybe who have been thinking about that, what would
1:53:47
Speaker 1: you say to them?
1:53:49
Speaker 11: I would say go for it. I would say, if
1:53:51
Speaker 11: you have a story that you believe in and can
1:53:56
Speaker 11: add to it details and add to it some conversations
1:54:01
Speaker 11: and interactions, especially with other people and settings like Cincinnati.
1:54:07
Speaker 11: I was fascinated by places in Cincinnati both my mother
1:54:13
Speaker 11: and my aunt Janet talked about I never knew of Yeah,
1:54:16
Speaker 11: so I was able to go around this city and say, oh,
1:54:20
Speaker 11: I didn't know about that, but what a wonderful area.
1:54:24
Speaker 11: My Aunt Janet was fascinated with Miami Whitewater Forest. I
1:54:27
Speaker 11: had never heard of that. So it was fun doing
1:54:32
Speaker 11: the book, doing the research, and suddenly you have pages
1:54:37
Speaker 11: and pages of good information to share.
1:54:41
Speaker 1: Well, that's great, I guess today. Beverly Park, William's local
1:54:45
Speaker 1: author Parallel and Separate Book two A Tela Two sisters
1:54:49
Speaker 1: learn about the Greater Cincinnatier generally speaking of this fascinating
1:54:52
Speaker 1: tale of the women who were separated at a very
1:54:54
Speaker 1: young age and lived in the same town. You didn't
1:54:57
Speaker 1: even know of each other's existence. Beverly, has been a
1:54:59
Speaker 1: sweet opportunity to speak with you this morning, and I
1:55:01
Speaker 1: appreciate you writing the book and inspiring other local authors
1:55:04
Speaker 1: maybe put pen to paper, as the case may be,
1:55:06
Speaker 1: and put their own work together getting it published. Maybe
1:55:09
Speaker 1: another thing, how are you able to get your book published,
1:55:11
Speaker 1: Beverly Williams Before we part company?
1:55:13
Speaker 11: So initially with the first book, I went through Amazon
1:55:19
Speaker 11: through their publishing operation. With this second book, I actually
1:55:24
Speaker 11: used Ingram Spark. And the reason I did is one
1:55:29
Speaker 11: of the book stores in Milford said, well, you know
1:55:33
Speaker 11: all the bookstores purchase their books through Ingram Spark, who
1:55:38
Speaker 11: is the distributor of books. So I said, oh, okay,
1:55:42
Speaker 11: So I invented that and published through Ingram Spark. And
1:55:47
Speaker 11: I have been going around bookstores asking them to please
1:55:52
Speaker 11: purchase my book.
1:55:54
Speaker 1: Of course, that's how you get it out in the world, Beverly,
1:55:57
Speaker 1: and you become a well published author. And I wish
1:55:59
Speaker 1: you all the best as you move toward that endeavor
1:56:02
Speaker 1: and I hope people will enjoy the book parallel and
1:56:04
Speaker 1: separate a tale two Sisters. That'd be a book two.
1:56:06
Speaker 1: You can read book one as well. See the talk station.
1:56:11
Speaker 1: There you go a twenty three fifty five KR see
1:56:18
Speaker 1: the talk station.
1:56:19
Speaker 4: Man.
1:56:19
Speaker 1: Christmas is fast approaching, isn't it? Anyhow? I always got
1:56:23
Speaker 1: to give an none to Vinscarralti Tree the only license
1:56:25
Speaker 1: official sanctioned music here for Christmas time in the fifty
1:56:27

Speaker 1: thirty December the Christmas I like to call it Christmas Special.
1:56:34
Speaker 1: A YULETI tradition here on the Morning Show, and just
1:56:36
Speaker 1: if so many fond memories of my father, and I
1:56:40
Speaker 1: got to spend time with them, even in the early
1:56:42
Speaker 1: years wave way way before I even was I mean,
1:56:46
Speaker 1: I was a lawyer practicing. I would come in and
1:56:48
Speaker 1: spend some time with Dad, and of course continued the
1:56:51
Speaker 1: holiday tradition after I took over the Morning Show. Rob
1:56:53
Speaker 1: Ryder has been a part of that for well, for

1:58:08
Speaker 1: always puts me in a holiday festive mood. I could
1:58:10
Speaker 1: listen to better. Fact we were putting the tree up
1:58:13
Speaker 1: the day after Thanksgiving. Guess what I put on? Yes,
1:58:16
Speaker 1: this one. It never gets sold for me because it's
1:58:20
Speaker 1: so it just childhood that piano play is just I
1:58:24
Speaker 1: just think of my early early childhood, you know, back
1:58:26
Speaker 1: of the days we still believed in Santa Claus, and
1:58:29
Speaker 1: you you know, try to stay up and keep yourself
1:58:31
Speaker 1: awake so you can see Santa Claus. Always unsuccessfully. Joe
1:58:35
Speaker 1: Streker still believes. Good for you, Joe, because if you don't,
1:58:41
Speaker 1: you don't get any Is that why I don't get
1:58:42
Speaker 1: any presents? I thought because my wife told me whatever
1:58:46
Speaker 1: I needed I just bought over during the year. Oh okay,
1:58:49
Speaker 1: Well I believe in Santa How's that that that changes?
1:58:52
Speaker 1: Is that a believable statement? Jay, thanks for calling this morning.
1:58:54
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show.
1:58:56
Speaker 10: Hey, good morning, Brian. And just like that, a one
1:58:59
Speaker 10: hundred thousands around Cincinnati just found.
1:59:01
Speaker 7: Out about.
1:59:05
Speaker 1: You know, Jay, I ask brad Winstrop because he's got
1:59:09
Speaker 1: young ones. One of them is on the edge of
1:59:12
Speaker 1: disbelief because her classmates kind of talk about in the
1:59:15
Speaker 1: you know, Santa and his oldest is already beyond that.
1:59:18
Speaker 1: But I just lit me said, well, you know, classmates
1:59:21
Speaker 1: are no and Brian Thomas saying something out loud or not.
1:59:24
Speaker 1: There is the Internet, Jay, and young people tend to
1:59:27
Speaker 1: have access to it for sad reasons, so they can
1:59:30
Speaker 1: find out the reality if they choose to. And as
1:59:32
Speaker 1: Joe Strecker just pointed out, Santa Claus is in fact real.
1:59:35
Speaker 1: So there you have it.
1:59:37
Speaker 8: Well, there you go.
1:59:38
Speaker 10: Hey, the reason I'm calling, First of all, I want
1:59:41
Speaker 10: to thank you and Joe for what you guys do.
1:59:43
Speaker 3: Man.
1:59:44
Speaker 10: I listen to you guys every day. I do a
1:59:46
Speaker 10: lot of travel and I pick you up on the
1:59:47
Speaker 10: iHeart streaming and it just starts my morning.
1:59:52
Speaker 4: So thank you for that.
1:59:53
Speaker 1: God bless you for that. That's a true gift for me.
1:59:55
Speaker 7: Man I.
1:59:56
Speaker 1: Anytime someone says they listen to the Morning Show, I
1:59:58
Speaker 1: look at them almost in a state of disbelief, but
2:00:00
Speaker 1: it really means the world to me.
2:00:03
Speaker 10: Well yeah, well, thanks for what you do. But the
2:00:08
Speaker 10: topic I caught in on was that I read the
2:00:10
Speaker 10: other day that there's yet another scandal in the Catholic Church.
2:00:14
Speaker 10: Five hundred victims stepping forward, They're starting another couple funds,
2:00:19
Speaker 10: hundreds of millions of dollars, And I guess it just
2:00:23
Speaker 10: kind of clicked in my brain of you know, I'm
2:00:26
Speaker 10: I'm a fan of let's get the Epstein files out there,
2:00:29
Speaker 10: let's let's get justice for these victims. And if this
2:00:34
Speaker 10: was any other organization than the Catholic Church that didn't
2:00:37
Speaker 10: have the money and the power and the brand of
2:00:41
Speaker 10: the Catholic Church. I've been hearing about these scandals all
2:00:44
Speaker 10: my life, and I'm over fifty years old. At what
2:00:47
Speaker 10: point did what point does law enforcement get involved here
2:00:52
Speaker 10: and understand that they are either not capable or willing
2:00:56
Speaker 10: to protect their members from the sexual abuse that goes
2:01:01
Speaker 10: on decade after decade after decade, how many more thousands
2:01:05
Speaker 10: of victims? And it seems like the solution always is
2:01:09
Speaker 10: if they throw money at it, then it goes away.
2:01:13
Speaker 10: And that's a question I never really understood with a lot.
2:01:15
Speaker 10: Maybe you could help me out with that, Like I have.
2:01:19
Speaker 1: Other than what you say, political connections, there's a lot
2:01:22
Speaker 1: of folks in elected a capacity that are Catholics themselves.
2:01:26
Speaker 1: Maybe the Catholic Church has a lot of influence over
2:01:28
Speaker 1: elected officials or law enforcement members. I don't know. But
2:01:32
Speaker 1: if it was a non religious organization that had inolve
2:01:35
Speaker 1: engauged in ongoing and cover up complicit cover up activity
2:01:41
Speaker 1: hiding people from law enforcement who molested children, you know
2:01:44
Speaker 1: damn well, the a warrant would be issued, files would
2:01:47
Speaker 1: be rated, evidence would be collected. Who knew what and when?
2:01:50
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a criminal enterprise, who knows? But you know,
2:01:53
Speaker 1: under RICO, two or more people working together for the
2:01:55
Speaker 1: purpose of committing a crime that's organized crime in and
2:01:59
Speaker 1: of itself. How many people were involved in cover ups
2:02:01
Speaker 1: in child molestation within that church. And I don't want
2:02:04
Speaker 1: to be critical to Catholic Church in terms of faith.
2:02:06
Speaker 1: I understand, I get it. I understand your doctrine and dogma.
2:02:10
Speaker 1: I grew up around it. I mean, my entire neighborhood
2:02:13
Speaker 1: was Catholic. So this isn't a criticism of Catholicism. It's
2:02:16
Speaker 1: a criticism who's running the show, right.
2:02:18
Speaker 10: Jay, exactly exactly, And it doesn't matter what the organization is.
2:02:24
Speaker 10: And I also see it what like NFL players like
2:02:26
Speaker 10: Ben Roethlisberger a few years back, quarterback for the Steelers.
2:02:30
Speaker 10: He raped the girl. It's on the police report, but
2:02:34
Speaker 10: he was able to stroke a check big enough that
2:02:36
Speaker 10: he's hat on the field playing the next day. And
2:02:39
Speaker 10: I'm thinking, hasn't a crime still men committed? If the
2:02:42
Speaker 10: victim is saying, I got my settlement, I'm not pressing charges,
2:02:46
Speaker 10: doesn't law enforcement still want to get that person in
2:02:48
Speaker 10: prison to protect the rest of us are the rest
2:02:51
Speaker 10: of the women out there. We don't understand how this is,
2:02:54
Speaker 10: this system, but we stroke a check big enough the
2:02:56
Speaker 10: crime goes away.
2:02:58
Speaker 1: Well, you could probably go on all day. Look, the
2:03:01
Speaker 1: grand jury refused to indict Letitia James for mortgage fraud,
2:03:05
Speaker 1: even though the documents prove, I think beyond a reasonable
2:03:08
Speaker 1: doubt that she engaged in mortgage fraud. So and maybe
2:03:10
Speaker 1: it is who you're connected to, Jay, And I say
2:03:12
Speaker 1: that sort of tongue in cheek. There's a reality to
2:03:15
Speaker 1: what you're saying. And it's not the Catholic Church. It's
2:03:17
Speaker 1: not just that it's just baked into the cake.
2:03:20
Speaker 7: You know.
2:03:20
Speaker 1: It's not equal treatment under the law.
2:03:23
Speaker 4: Terry.
2:03:25
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, exactly. This isn't some great revelation that we're
2:03:31
Speaker 1: showing here and illustrating here today, Jay, It's just a
2:03:34
Speaker 1: reiteration of a problem that has existed for a very
2:03:37
Speaker 1: very long time. Fortunately, though, in a day before the Internet,
2:03:43
Speaker 1: I would argue none of us would know about Epstein
2:03:45
Speaker 1: or the Epstein files, using that as an illustration or
2:03:48
Speaker 1: an example, nobody would what. Really, you didn't even know
2:03:51
Speaker 1: what legislation Congress was working on any given time before
2:03:54
Speaker 1: we got this immediate volume of real time information, access
2:03:59
Speaker 1: to the actual documents themselves. It's all right there for
2:04:02
Speaker 1: all to see. So much fraud, waste and abuse has
2:04:05
Speaker 1: been revealed. Corruption's been revealed. We all know about it
2:04:08
Speaker 1: because we're all connected. Now, that's a great, great thing.
2:04:11
Speaker 1: I always look for positive things that have come from
2:04:13
Speaker 1: the Internet age, and I think that's one of them.
2:04:15
Speaker 1: You can hold a people people accountable. You can witness
2:04:19
Speaker 1: and see the problems inherent in the system, and then
2:04:21
Speaker 1: you got to turn to your elected officials or whoever
2:04:23
Speaker 1: else is responsible for solving the problem and see if
2:04:26
Speaker 1: they do anything about it. This is why I've been
2:04:28
Speaker 1: such a terror on such a terri late about the fraud, waste,
2:04:30
Speaker 1: and abuse that's been revealed in literally the four corners
2:04:33
Speaker 1: of government Minnesota, most recently billion dollars a billion of
2:04:38
Speaker 1: your dollars stolen by the Somali community in Minnesota. Would
2:04:44
Speaker 1: we have ever known about that? And then pivot over
2:04:47
Speaker 1: to all the other fraud, waste and abuse that's been
2:04:49
Speaker 1: revealed with the COVID money that's been handed out with
2:04:51
Speaker 1: the Green New Deal. Problem goes all the way back
2:04:54
Speaker 1: to like the Obama era with the A one twenty
2:04:56
Speaker 1: five and all these entities getting your money hands selected
2:05:01
Speaker 1: by the elected officials in Washington under whatever administration they
2:05:05
Speaker 1: got chosen. Why didn't some other company get chosen. Maybe
2:05:08
Speaker 1: it's because they're connected. Maybe they were writing big chicks
2:05:11
Speaker 1: and big checks and making political contributions. Hmmm yeah, maybe,
2:05:18
Speaker 1: So we see it. The question is will an't even
2:05:21
Speaker 1: do anything about it? So I've been on a tear
2:05:23
Speaker 1: again about this fraud, wasting abuse that should be the
2:05:25
Speaker 1: first and foremost thing. It's like Dave Hatter, if you're
2:05:28
Speaker 1: gonna build an Internet of Things device, start with security
2:05:32
Speaker 1: and move on from there. They don't have any interest
2:05:35
Speaker 1: or concern what happens with the money once it's handed
2:05:38
Speaker 1: over to their well connected individuals, so you can draw
2:05:41
Speaker 1: parallels with that, and yeah, the disparate treatment of individuals
2:05:45
Speaker 1: based upon who they are in the criminal justice system
2:05:47
Speaker 1: eight thirty six Right now Bobby and Terry the Pilot,
2:05:50
Speaker 1: no way, looking forward to hearing from both of those guys.
2:05:53
Speaker 1: Coming up next, stick.
2:05:54
Speaker 6: Away fifty five KARC men deep talk station.
2:06:01
Speaker 1: A thirty nine fifty five ker CD talk station. Christmas
2:06:05
Speaker 1: time is indeed here. Enjoy it now real quick here
2:06:11
Speaker 1: before and indulge me for a moment here Terry the
2:06:13
Speaker 1: Pile and Bobby. I can't wait to talk to you both.
2:06:15
Speaker 1: But further to my rant there. Yes, yesterday, Education Secretary
2:06:21
Speaker 1: of Line McMahon and it made an announcement. Interesting it
2:06:23
Speaker 1: is Trump administration has prevented one billion with a B
2:06:28
Speaker 1: in student law loan fraud this year. Why just increasing
2:06:33
Speaker 1: the identification requirement. That's it. They implemented mandatory identification verification
2:06:38
Speaker 1: on certain first time applicants after they uncovered ninety million
2:06:42
Speaker 1: in federal student aid fraud, thirty million in loans that
2:06:46
Speaker 1: went to dead people, forty million the companies using bots
2:06:50
Speaker 1: disguised as fake students. Wow. Interesting revelation that here. Let's
2:06:53
Speaker 1: look a little bit deeper. Oh McMahon said, quote, it
2:06:59
Speaker 1: was really a pretty simple thing to do. You think
2:07:02
Speaker 1: about the fact that when you buy airplane tickets or whatever,
2:07:05
Speaker 1: you have to show an ID if you're gonna rent
2:07:07
Speaker 1: a car. But there had been no kind of ID verification.
2:07:11
Speaker 1: As students filed their applications for student loans, you know,
2:07:15
Speaker 1: into the Bide administration, they didn't do any of this
2:07:17
Speaker 1: identity verification, as reported by the Washington Times, required from
2:07:22
Speaker 1: less than one percent of the applicants, which is how
2:07:28
Speaker 1: you end up getting a billion dollars worth of fraud.
2:07:32
Speaker 1: How simple was that to do? Flip a switch? All
2:07:35
Speaker 1: doge is evil? No, they're not simple process. There's one
2:07:41
Speaker 1: billion add them all up. It ends up being a
2:07:43
Speaker 1: lot of money. Terry the Pilot, long time, no speak,
2:07:46
Speaker 1: my friend. I hope you're doing well. Welcome to the show.
2:07:50
Speaker 12: I'm telling you that there's mornings like today.
2:07:52
Speaker 3: Retirement is great.
2:07:55
Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about de icing the wings
2:07:57
Speaker 1: before you go on that cross across the globe flight right, Terry.
2:08:02
Speaker 12: No more icy runways, no more low visibilities, no more crosswinds.
2:08:08
Speaker 8: It's great.
2:08:09
Speaker 12: But you talk about Catholics and Somalis in Minneapolis. As
2:08:14
Speaker 12: a guy that went through Minneapolis quite a bit, I
2:08:16
Speaker 12: ran into a few people that were immigrating or integrating
2:08:20
Speaker 12: through Minneapolis, and I discovered how did they get so
2:08:23
Speaker 12: many Some mallies it's called Catholic and Lutheran charity are
2:08:28
Speaker 12: and they guess what, They're subsidized by the government. That
2:08:34
Speaker 12: goes back to the Bush administration legislation that allowed the
2:08:39
Speaker 12: federal government to directly subsidize charities. At the time, I thought, well,
2:08:43
Speaker 12: maybe that's a good idea, but now I look at
2:08:45
Speaker 12: the costs and I'm thinking, like, you put somebody like
2:08:48
Speaker 12: Obama and Hillary in and the next thing you know,
2:08:51
Speaker 12: we ended up with thousands of not only some maalies,
2:08:53
Speaker 12: but everybody else that are here legally on visas, and
2:08:57
Speaker 12: then an NNGO from the Democrats managed to somehow get
2:09:00
Speaker 12: them free money for an assistance or COVID money to
2:09:05
Speaker 12: help them live without working.
2:09:07
Speaker 1: Right, and if it was truly part of the mission
2:09:10
Speaker 1: to bring people into this country, like the Catholics or
2:09:12
Speaker 1: any other religious organization, Usually people on the left, most notably,
2:09:16
Speaker 1: but people on the right might scream about government money
2:09:19
Speaker 1: going to support religious organizations. What are happened to separation
2:09:22
Speaker 1: of church and state. Grumble, grumble, grumble. And if it
2:09:24
Speaker 1: was in fact part of their mission, isn't the contributions
2:09:27
Speaker 1: from the church and the parishioners or whoever else. They're
2:09:29
Speaker 1: the ones that are responsible for funding these activities. In
2:09:32
Speaker 1: other words, if you want to help facilitate it, dip
2:09:34
Speaker 1: down into your tithing pocket receipts and pay for it yourself.
2:09:39
Speaker 1: But now they're relying on government money to achieve their
2:09:42
Speaker 1: what are arguably, from their perspective, their religious ends. Hmm.
2:09:47
Speaker 1: There may be a constitutional argument built in there, Terry.
2:09:50
Speaker 3: Yes, it is.
2:09:51
Speaker 12: Evidently there's some fences between church and state, and other fences,
2:09:56
Speaker 12: aren't there, depending on what religion you.
2:09:58
Speaker 1: Are yep, or what you'rre doing with the government money. Terry.
2:10:02
Speaker 1: I think that's where the answer to the question lies.
2:10:04
Speaker 1: If you're fulfilling a government objective by overrunning our nation
2:10:08
Speaker 1: with a bunch of people from other lands that are
2:10:09
Speaker 1: not here legally and have entered our country legally with
2:10:13
Speaker 1: the help of these religious NGOs or not, that's their goal. Oh,
2:10:18
Speaker 1: the church wants to help us overwhelm the United States
2:10:21
Speaker 1: with a bunch of illegal immigrants. Okay, we'll help them.
2:10:25
Speaker 1: If they were doing something to the opposite, then they
2:10:27
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't have gotten the help, and they would have
2:10:29
Speaker 1: made arguments about separation of church and states and the
2:10:31
Speaker 1: dollars that go with that separation. Appreciate good hearing from me, Terry.
2:10:34
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're enjoying retirement. Bobby, welcome to the program.
2:10:37
Speaker 1: Good to hear from you, my friend.
2:10:39
Speaker 4: Happy Friday, my friend. We want to thank you for
2:10:42
Speaker 4: all you do. You're just maintaining Almighty God's America.
2:10:45
Speaker 1: This way you can try and at least trying to
2:10:49
Speaker 1: point out where the warts are. Maybe we'll do something
2:10:52
Speaker 1: about it when we run into them.
2:10:53
Speaker 4: Terry or Bobby, Well, all these graft, greed and gratuities
2:10:58
Speaker 4: that we're talking about federal level, all you gotta do
2:11:02
Speaker 4: is look in town. It's like that right downtown. Of course,
2:11:05
Speaker 4: it is just a bigger it's just on a bigger
2:11:08
Speaker 4: level of the federal And look at it.
2:11:10
Speaker 1: And she is like Iris Rowley's new contract, right, Iris
2:11:15
Speaker 1: Rowley is Iris Rowley got a new contract worth almost
2:11:18
Speaker 1: seven hundred thousand dollars. She's sort of a fly in
2:11:21
Speaker 1: the ointment of a law on law enforcement. But she's
2:11:24
Speaker 1: a consultant and is she's employed her son. And she
2:11:29
Speaker 1: also has made her husband slightly more wealthy because he
2:11:32
Speaker 1: owns a company called Raleigh's I'm Sorry road Show Awards
2:11:36
Speaker 1: and Graphics. And she paid him, her husband at least
2:11:40
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred dollars for T shirts, hoodies and performance shirts
2:11:42
Speaker 1: for the folks that work on Government Square that I
2:11:44
Speaker 1: believe are managed by her son. So little Shenanigan's going
2:11:50
Speaker 1: on there. But since she's an independent contractor, we'll call
2:11:52
Speaker 1: her just for the sake of boiled down argument along
2:11:55
Speaker 1: the points we've been talking about this morning. One of
2:11:57
Speaker 1: the NGOs that's the recipient of Cincinnati tax payer dollars, right.
2:12:02
Speaker 4: Is a legal contract of just for a dollar? Can't
2:12:06
Speaker 4: you have legal contract for one dollar talking down there
2:12:09
Speaker 4: and get more kind of advice for half that price?
2:12:13
Speaker 1: Good luck, Bobby. I think if they find out your politics,
2:12:17
Speaker 1: they might not consider you, even if you are a
2:12:20
Speaker 1: viable option. You want to give you catch mark, Fred,
2:12:24
Speaker 1: you want to talk about faith, family, family, flag and

2:13:39
Speaker 2: Time, Jeezy.
2:13:59
Speaker 1: Defence the way you're looking, and it is indeed a
2:14:03
Speaker 1: wonderful world From my perspective, I certainly appreciate tuning in
2:14:05
Speaker 1: to the fifty five Carcee morning show Tech Friday, a
2:14:07
Speaker 1: day of had to this morning great topics. As always
2:14:09
Speaker 1: with Dave, he got menic cues in a local card
2:14:11
Speaker 1: skimming case, which obviously led to the broader conversation about
2:14:15
Speaker 1: skimming and stealing your information generally speaking, and some good
2:14:18
Speaker 1: advice on that. Some people saying no to the Windows
2:14:21
Speaker 1: eleven upgrade, he says, don't say no. There's a lot
2:14:24
Speaker 1: of nefarious actors out there. They're not going to be
2:14:25
Speaker 1: upgrading it anymore. The old systems, your Windows ten, that's
2:14:29
Speaker 1: not going to get any updates anymore. So the longer
2:14:31
Speaker 1: you keep that, the more likely it is hackers are
2:14:33
Speaker 1: going to figure out a way that that system can
2:14:34
Speaker 1: be exploited and then come after you. The reason they
2:14:37
Speaker 1: do that, it's because people don't upgrade their systems. So
2:14:41
Speaker 1: don't be one of those people. Take Dave's advice. Just
2:14:43
Speaker 1: go ahead, bite the bullet and upgrade and you'll avoid
2:14:45
Speaker 1: more problems. Plus Google sort of kind of sharing your
2:14:48
Speaker 1: text messages with your employer. He explains that quite well.
2:14:51
Speaker 1: So podcast fifty five Case dot Com Great Time with
2:14:54
Speaker 1: Congressman former Congressman you can always do that private citizen
2:14:57
Speaker 1: doctor brad winstropin studio, and we didn't even get to
2:15:00
Speaker 1: scratch the surface of the multitude of topics we were
2:15:02
Speaker 1: able to talk about. But I did enjoy that conversation
2:15:05
Speaker 1: and always do appreciate hearing what he has to say
2:15:07
Speaker 1: about important events going on. Beverly Park Williams local author.
2:15:10
Speaker 1: You can get a copy of her book Parallel and Separate.
2:15:13
Speaker 1: It really is a story about her mother and her sister,
2:15:16
Speaker 1: separated like almost birth, that they grew up on different
2:15:19
Speaker 1: sides of Cincinnati, so that serves as a vehicle to
2:15:22
Speaker 1: talk about all the different areas of the city and
2:15:26
Speaker 1: different points in points of view in terms of the
2:15:28
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati. So it's like a history book built
2:15:30
Speaker 1: around her very interesting story. That's excuse me if you do.
2:15:34
Speaker 1: You have caresey dot com and that allowed me to
2:15:36
Speaker 1: give props. I just dearly loved the Sorry Peter Bronson.
2:15:45
Speaker 1: I talked to him her only week about his new book,
2:15:46
Speaker 1: Magical History Tour or last week. It was a great book.
2:15:51
Speaker 1: It didn't take very long to read it, and it's
2:15:53
Speaker 1: five different stories. And I sent him an email yesterday
2:15:56
Speaker 1: to tell him how much I enjoyed the book a
2:15:58
Speaker 1: great Christmas item. You can find him on fifty five
2:16:00
Speaker 1: krec dot comor just go directly to Chili Dog Press
2:16:02
Speaker 1: and get a book. But I had to thank him,
2:16:06
Speaker 1: not just because all five stories all again centered around
2:16:09
Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati and famous figures or infamous figures
2:16:12
Speaker 1: in this particular case, including thank you Peter Bronson again
2:16:18
Speaker 1: a specific shout out to him yesterday because he did
2:16:20
Speaker 1: one chapter on stan Chesley and the Fenfen litigation, along
2:16:25
Speaker 1: with other well criminals lawyers swore into a pold an
2:16:30
Speaker 1: oath of ethics, And I know you might laugh at that,
2:16:33
Speaker 1: but you know I took my the profession very seriously
2:16:36
Speaker 1: and I tried to be as ethical and moral as
2:16:38
Speaker 1: I could possibly be, because why, it's my client, it's
2:16:40
Speaker 1: my client's interest, it's my client's damn money, and what
2:16:45
Speaker 1: they did to the people that they purported to represent
2:16:48
Speaker 1: is just unconscionable. And trust me, if the FCC was
2:16:52
Speaker 1: not listening or I could get away with FCC violations,
2:16:55
Speaker 1: I would use an FCC violation Mulligan or whatever to
2:17:00
Speaker 1: more pointedly criticized the people that were involved in that
2:17:04
Speaker 1: litigation they stole it was a two hundred million dollars
2:17:08
Speaker 1: settlement involved in the fen Fen litigation. They stole it.
2:17:13
Speaker 1: Quite a few of them went to jail. Stanchezli, I
2:17:16
Speaker 1: guess ended up cooperating on some level. Get he didn't
2:17:19
Speaker 1: go to jail, although I would argue he well deserved it,
2:17:21
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm speaking ill of the dead. That's
2:17:23
Speaker 1: okay because read it for yourself, and I love how
2:17:25
Speaker 1: Peter Bronson did it. He was able to summarize all
2:17:28
Speaker 1: the information in very complex case.
2:17:30
Speaker 5: It was.
2:17:32
Speaker 1: By creating a scenario where a news reporter is sitting
2:17:36
Speaker 1: in a booth and two men come in while that
2:17:38
Speaker 1: trial is going on, and somehow the men were involved
2:17:41
Speaker 1: in the trial, and you can read for yourself. They
2:17:42
Speaker 1: were sitting in the booth next to the reporter. So
2:17:44
Speaker 1: the reporter got his notes out and he starts writing
2:17:47
Speaker 1: down all the information that they were talking about. And
2:17:49
Speaker 1: so it's an easy mechanism as an author for him
2:17:52
Speaker 1: to boil down a whole lot of information and not
2:17:55
Speaker 1: just read it off like facts, but weave it into
2:17:58
Speaker 1: a story that involved a discussion between two people. So
2:18:03
Speaker 1: but I gave him props for calling out that rat
2:18:06
Speaker 1: and the other rats that were involved in that so
2:18:10
Speaker 1: local history right there Peter Bronson's Magical History Tour and
2:18:13
