  Speaker 3: Danny Gleason, still covering for Joe Strecker, and you're going
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: to be doing that on Monday too, Danny? You're not.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Russ is going to be back. You assume. That means
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: I may very well show up on Monday, and there
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: will be no one here. There will be a darkened
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: studio room where you are currently sitting. Anyway, we'll cross
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: that bridge. We get to it and Joe's Trekker on vacation,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: which is fine. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK, pound 550 on AT &
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: T phones. That's how you reach me to talk on
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: the program. And of course, 55krc. iheart. com. Check out the podcast
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: blog pages. So, uh, right. Jay Ratliff always loved talking
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: to Jay on a Thursday. We've got, um, that, Just
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: unsettling body cam footage of that six-year-old cursing out the
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: police and the teacher after he shot his teacher. Six years.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: I still can't get over that thing. Heart for Seniors,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: amazing organization. Got some great technology to help you, the caregiver,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: to help your, well, the people you're caring for like
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: mom and dad in their senior years. It's all there
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: at 55KRC. iHeart. com. Let's go through that. Let's find out what's
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: coming up here on the 55KRC Morning Show. Tech Friday
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: with Dave Hatter. I don't have a list of topics
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: for Dave because, of course, Joe's not here. So I'll
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: maybe send him an email, but you never have to worry.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Just listen and take notes and heed what Dave Hatter
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: has to say. Judge Christopher McDowell in Studio 705, one
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: of the judicial candidates we need to talk about, and
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: we will. Followed by Matt Damaris, the return of Vets
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: and Brews. Matt Damaris, great organization, going around and buying
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: beers for veterans. Simple act of kindness. It's such a
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: neat thing, and I've been on the podcast The veteran bus,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Vets and Brews bus tour before. It's fun. And that's
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: the whole idea. We live in a world full of
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: all kinds of tragedy. Oh, my God, we're all going
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: to die. People rioting in the streets. Well, then there's
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Vets and Brews. You give a little money. Part of
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: it goes to pay for the beer, and the other
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: part goes over across the river to help them build
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: those flag boxes and other craft items. Magistrate Susan Lucan,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: she's a magistrate, not a judge. Magistrate Susan Lucan returns
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: at 8.05. We need to get rid of Judge Bloom
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: in the juvenile court. We need Susan Lucan, that way
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: the children of the world who go around and commit
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: crimes over and over again and who are not treated
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: in any way, shape, or form harshly by the juvenile
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: court system in spite of their recidivism. Oh, look, you're here.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: It's number 14 for you, 16-year-old. How about we give
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: them some punishment? That's not... something that's present in many
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: of these children's lives. The idea of morals, ethics, discipline,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: you know, society's rules. Going back to the six-year-old, you
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: want to see what the juvenile court system is probably
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: filled with? Look at that video. And turn that six-year-old
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: into a 16-year-old.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Magistrate Susan Logan. An answer to our prayers in Hamilton County.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Jack Windsor from the Ohio Press Network at 830. Again,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: don't know the topics we want to talk about. Let
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: us see here. I got a kick out of this
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: as we are fast approaching the November election and so
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: many pundits and prognosticators predicting that the Democrats are going
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: to have a sweep. They're going to take over the
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Senate and the House. They won't have enough to override
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: a Trump veto. But what are you asking for? Thank you,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Kimberly Strassel, for pointing it all out. Are you ready?
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Preview of two years of Democratic House rule, right? So
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: here you go. Hakeem Jeffries, he's waiting to be Speaker
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: of the House. So if the Democrats take over, this
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: is what we're looking for, and I think she probably
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: nailed it. She writes, Speaker in waiting, Hakeem Jeffries continues
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: to play coy, insisting facts will guide his party's decisions
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: on impeachments, investigations, and legislation. Now, the word legislation is
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: in there because that's what they're supposed to be working on.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I don't think you're going to see much by way
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: of legislation, maybe because Donald Trump is still president and
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: has the veto power. No, it's because of the impeachments
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: and investigations they're going to be doing. That's the point
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: of her article. Who's he kidding? The hard left is
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: 18 months deep into its open plan to burn down
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: the second Trump administration. What progressives want, history shows, Mr.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Jeffries will bestow. Texas Representative Al Green filed a resolution
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: of impeachment against Trump in May of last year, filed
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: a second one this past December, third went to the
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: floor in September. And 147 Democrats, 70% of the conference almost,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: voted to proceed with impeachment. 46 more, including Mr. Jeffries
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: and other leaders, voted present. Only 18 were opposed. Representative
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: John Larson, Democrat from Connecticut, introduced 13 articles of impeachment
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: in April centered on Trump's use of foreign force, deportations, pardons,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: and a whole lot more. Tennessee Representative Steve Cohen, 26 votes.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: articles of impeachment offered in September, adding offenses like the
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: president's IRS settlement and his demolition of the East Wing.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Even impeachment might not scratch the itch, she writes. Dozens
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: of Democrats in April called for relieving Mr. Trump of
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: his duties via the 25th Amendment. Yeah, no, we won't
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: touch Joe Biden, but wow, let's go after Trump. This
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: inspired Maryland's Representative Jamie Raskin in line to lead the
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Judiciary Committee on To file a bill that would create
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: a 17-member commission on presidential capacity. Initial cap on that.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Commission on presidential capacity. Cast with deeming the president unable
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: to discharge his duties. It now has 85 Democratic co-sponsors.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Mr.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Trump will be the main course. His cabinet, the appetizers.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Republicans set this precedent with their ill-considered 2024 impeachment of
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Homeland Security officials. Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Democrats have already filed
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: resolutions to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hagseth, Education Secretary Lyndon McMahon,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Budget Director Russ Vogt. Next up, Attorney General Todd Blanch,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: FBI Director Kash Patel. More than 80% of the Democratic
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Conference has signed on to impeaching former Homeland Security Secretary
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Kristi Noem prior to her exit. I, Kimberly Strassel, in
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: this case, count 11 House committees gearing up to launch
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: investigations into at least 26 separate topics. This is the,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: as I will characterize it, the flinging of spaghetti against
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: the wall. You know, you throw it off, at least
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: some of it's going to stick. Trump family business. Emoluments
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Clause violations, pardons, $ 1. 776 billion anti-weaponization fund, Jeffrey Epstein, immigration
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: shootings and deportations, Iran, Venezuela, the use of Mr. Trump's circle, i.e.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, as diplomats, the Board of Peace,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: the Qatari Air Force One gift, tariffs, doge, the firing
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: of inspectors generals, political prosecutions, FBI actions under Mr. Patel,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: actions by former DHS official Corey Lewandowski, The ballroom, the
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Kennedy Center, energy and mining fields, federal contracting corporations that
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: bow to Trump pressure, actions against the media, actions against
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: law firm, actions against universities, and taxpayer-funded advertising. And a
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: partridge in a blanken pear tree. Catalog so long, some
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Democrats are mooting. In the name of efficiency, a new
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: January 6th-style select committee for all crimes Trump. Yeah, we're
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: not going to do that one. I guess we've got
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: enough on our plate since we've flogged the January 6th
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: as long as we can. Oh, and then word got
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: out that a lot of people were caught up in
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: that that should have been caught up in it. Oh,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: and then there's the whole point about taking Donald Trump's
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: out loud comments out of context and trying to convince
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: the world that he led this mob intentionally, storming the gates. Anyway,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: moving back. Members have already compiled vast lists of their
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: subpoena targets, a roster including the president himself, members of
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: his family, advisors like Stephen Miller, Miller, Susie Walsh. Corporate
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: heads will be called to do penance, but so will
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: average Joes, ICE officers, ballroom contractors, and Doge volunteers. Democrats
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: already have plans and backup plans for any refusal to comply.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: They'll go around subpoenaing contractors, corporations, financial institutions, colleges, law firms.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: They'll file lawsuits. They'll initiate contempt proceedings. And as hearings
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: go on, they'll issue criminal referrals. The contempt and referrals
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: will die in Trump's Justice Department, but Democrats' real goal
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: will be dominating the narrative. A constant onslaught of evil
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: orange man on steroids. This is all about undermining Trump
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: like they tried the first time. Non-stop, four years, President
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Trump and nothing but one investigation after another. Impeachment investigation
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: followed by impeachment investigation. 24-7 media reports of evil orange man.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: You know, it's just... Republicans themselves, she concludes, lean too
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: heavily into oversight. Though they wisely never dumped political capitalists.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: into a formal Joe Biden impeachment and have kept attention
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: this past year on their own agenda. Smart Democrats are
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: counseling their party that this coming assault is folly. The
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: prior Trump pylon didn't stop his re-election in warning that
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: an impeachment investigation maelstrom will eclipse Democratic effort's to highlight
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: their own agenda. Hold on on that point. And the
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: final sentence or two. They're whistling in the convective wind.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: More than a decade into opposing Mr. Trump, the left
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: is on autopilot. Get ready for the drama. Now that
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: left is on autopilot. This is something I've been saying
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: out loud to friends and commenting out loud here in
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: the program. What are they going to do when Donald
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Trump isn't around anymore? I mean, every race in this country,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: now you may say it's the price of gasoline, but
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: this evil orange man, Trump derangement syndrome, call it what
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: you want, this is the one thing they've got. Because otherwise,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: if you look around, with the exception of the war
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: and its impact on gasoline prices, everything else looks pretty
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: damn solid in our economy right now. Jobless claims were
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: released the other day, the lowest in 57 years.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Among other things, almost full employment, we've got that. I
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: don't know what folks want beyond what we have here,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: but what is, what are they going to do? And
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: then moving back on the other sentence I wanted to
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: just focus on here, a warning that impeachment investigation maelstrom
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: will eclipse Democrats' efforts to highlight their own agenda. Okay,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: busily going after all of these impeachments and subpoenaing and
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: all this investigation, you know that's going to dominate the news.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: What are the Democrats running on? I'd like to know,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: because if you take away the evil orange man veil,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: what do we have? Defunding the police, draconian regulations and
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: carbon taxes, mothballing coal and nuclear plants, wide open borders,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: turning a blind eye to Medicaid and NGO fraud, supporting
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: general mutilation of minors, opposing voter ID, massive expansion of
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: entitlement spending, lowering combat readiness standards in the military in
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: the name of gender equality, the support of adversaries like Hamas.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's it. All the crazy we call crazy. There's
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: an astute observation. If you get the opportunity at Greg
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Salisbury commentary piece, the Democrats narrative, and don't just assume
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: because that litany of bat crap insanity that they believe
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: in is, and on its face appears insane. That doesn't matter.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: They're in the process of undermining every institution in the
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: United States of America. So they get a handful of
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: people over there that want to be divisive and say, listen,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: I have a penis, but I'm a woman, and you're
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: supposed to believe it. Let the people argue amongst themselves.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: That's one area people are arguing against each other. We
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: want that. We want people to argue over anything we can. Divide, divide, divide, divide.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: The vast majority of people out there don't think that
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: the October 7th is something to be celebrated. You know what?
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: We just found out there are a lot of people
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: who do. It doesn't matter what percentage they are. They're
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: going to get the press. They're going to be out
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: in the streets with their Palestinian flags and their anti-Semitic comments. Look,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: and a horror show of that is going to be
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: revealed on television.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Because, well, it seems so blank and crazy. Say what
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: you want about the Israeli people. Does anybody deserve to
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: have terrorists come in and slaughter babies and old people?
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Doesn't matter. As long as there's some division, and it's
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: sowing the seed of that doubt in your mind, and
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: constantly you're on social media, or you're watching the mainstream media,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: it all looks like the whole thing's swirling down the drain.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: That perception is great for them. We'll call that a
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: victory for them as well. 519 right now, 55 KRC,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: the talk station. 523.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: At 55KRC.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Com station.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: Love you.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: It's Friday.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Which means it's Tech Friday. We've got 6.30 with Dave Hatter.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know what we're going to be talking about,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: but how about this? He's sick of the text messages.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Props to John Mattarese. He looked into what we can
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: do about text messages coming in on our phone. Unwanted calls.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: It's kind of funny. So you're getting all these, you're
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: inundated with all these texts, vote Acton, vote Ramaswamy. When
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: you register to vote, apparently your file is public record,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: and quite often people provide their phone number, so that's
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: where the campaigns are getting them. Now, an expert was interviewed,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: a Gulia Porter tech expert. That's what Matt Arise described
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: her as. Easiest solution, text, now hold on to this,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: text the word stop back to the sender. Now, when
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: I read that, because I listen to Dave Hatter all
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: the time and I heed his advice, I'm thinking to myself, well,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: what if it's not a legitimate campaign? Which legitimate campaigns,
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: as this article points out, will definitely stop texting you
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: messages if you tell them to stop. So you have
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: to assume it's not a scammer because if you hit
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: stop to a scammer text, then they know your phone
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: is hot and live and therefore you will be inundated
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: with even more down the road. So I think you
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: just left guessing on that one. It's not exactly a
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: practical solution. But he did point out, if you have
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: an iPhone, you have an almost secret text-blocking feature. And
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: he got this from ZDNet, which Dave had to rely
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: on all the time. So if you have an iPhone,
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: go to Settings, then Messages, and toggle the switch that
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: says Filter Unknown Senders. And that way, you will only
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: receive text from people on your contact list. I guess
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: that prevents you from receiving texts from people not on
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: your contact list who you might otherwise add down the
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: road because there's someone new you met. So these are
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: all struggles you're going to have to figure out on
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: your own. Easiest fix on an iPhone is that setting
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: app's phones. Scroll down to the call filtering, and that's
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: where you can see silence unknown calls. So if you're
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: getting unwanted calls from these campaigns, that's an option. On Android,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: go to settings, caller ID, and spam. Turn on filter
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: spam calls. There you have that. So a few solutions
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: for you. I see Tony is on the line. Tony,
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: if you don't mind hanging on, brother, I've got to
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: take a break right now. 530-513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK, 1-550 on AT &
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: T phones. And over at 55KRC. iHeart. com, from a couple days ago,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: you can get a copy of the book, The Phantom,
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: The Untold Story of the American Marine, The Nazis Could
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Not Kill. Great conversation, and it should be an outstanding book.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Get a copy. I guess Tony has a comment or two. Tony,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: thanks for calling this morning. Welcome to the show.
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: Boy, when I heard that interview, the only thing I
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: could think about was the book and the woman of
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: no importance. Do you remember that book?
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Was that the aristocratic spy?
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: The blue blood from Baltimore. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: was just wondering and thinking if they ever shared an
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: operation with because their stories parallel so well.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good question.
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: Even though if they didn't share an operation, they shared
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: something even more significant. They were both high-value targets of
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: the Gestapo. Can you imagine a more scarier place on
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: Earth at the time?
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: No, not at all. You know, that's interestingly enough, one
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: of the questions, Tony, that I wanted to ask him,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: and in the interest of time, you only have so
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: much time, you can ask questions. How difficult was it
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: for someone, you know, in the French resistance, for example,
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: to hide? I mean, when you watch movies about World
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: War II, I mean, anybody hiding anywhere, the Nazis immediately
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: know where they are. They just show up, kick the door,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: and it's like, there they are, they're down there, they're
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: over there. I mean, the world's a big, big, big place.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: You think of Anne Frank hiding in an attic for
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: so long, ultimately found, but, you know, is it, the
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: informants out in the world it's the populace working with
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: the nazis to turn people in i guess so literally
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: everywhere you are you are surrounded by people who could
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: potentially rat you out so it's not just the uniformed
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: it's the citizenry and population i just just wanted to
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: get a little insight on that because like i said
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: that in movies they present it as there's nowhere you
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: can hide so high value targets priority targets like you
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: mentioned tony you think that they would be eliminated in
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: no time but nope not the case not the.
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: Case Where do these people come from? Who are these
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: people and where do they come from? I hold people
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: like that in high esteem.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Amen. Major Pierre Pete Ortiz is the subject matter of
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: that book. Boy, that guy, just badassery and patriotism. It's
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: a great combination, isn't it?
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: Is there time for a quick trip down listener lunch
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: memory lane?
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Knock yourself out, man. It's Friday.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, hey.
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: In the early days of Lister Lunch, Bob from Oakley.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: God rest his soul.
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: And then there was a woman that actually went and
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: picked him up and brought her. And I think her
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: name might have been Kathy. She was one of our
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: family that passed away from cancer.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah. I'm trying. Okay. See, now
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: you're talking. Yeah, you're talking. Don't put me on the
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: spot as far as names goes. I am walking around
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: apologizing every damn day about not remembering a name.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but no.
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: I mean, there was a whole cast of characters.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: Like Mark Walker. And then there was the guy from
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: Blue Ash who looked like Kenny Rogers.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: And Patty.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, Patty.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: Maybe that was her name.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: It might have been Patty. I can't remember Patty picking
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: up someone. And my late blind friend, Barbara, she used
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: to get picked up by listeners. Yeah.
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: I mean, you could walk into a room of cold
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: strangers and be welcome.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: Here's one.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Here's one.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Real quick, Tony.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: That I hold special.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: So, Crimer's Beer House. The place is packed. Your father's there.
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: There are two chairs left in the room. and they're
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: at your father's table. So I walked up and sat
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: in the chair next to him. And then shortly thereafter,
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: your sister walks in and sits down next to me.
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: So I felt like I was sharing a meal at
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: the table in the house of Thomas.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: You were. That's awesome.
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: I hold that special.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: That really makes, that makes me feel really good, man,
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: that you would think that sharing a family meal with
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: the Thomas family is an important thing. What a beautiful thing.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: And I certainly miss my father, but I do have
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: such fond memories of all those listeners you mentioned. We've
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: lost quite a few over the years here at the
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: 55 KRC Morning Show, but that's what makes listener lunch
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: so special. You get to know people and make friends.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: And yes, dine, break some bread, enjoy the fellowship. That's
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: what it's all about. Next one is going to be
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Anderson Pub and Grill, first Wednesday of November, which is
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: the day after the election. So we're either going to
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Sit down, break some bread, and cry over our meal,
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: or we're going to celebrate, and I sure as hell
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: hope it's the latter. It's 535 right now, 55 KRC
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Talk Station.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Can you play John the Fisherman?
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Must be Friday. The answer, of course, yes. And we're
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: walking through memory lane and remembering some of the listeners
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: over the years that we no longer are blessed with
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: their presence. Johnny Van Stein. That was another one. He
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: took pictures after Rebecca Grappi stopped doing it, and... At
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: listener lunch. What a terrific guy he was. So I
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: just want to acknowledge Johnny Van Sign. And very early on, Mark,
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: the chef, he used to call on the program. And
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: I believe he died of stomach cancer. So I'm glad
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: I'm blessed with the memories of those people because they
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: were just wonderful, wonderful folks. Let's see here online. Let's see. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK,
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: pound 550 on AT & T phones. Let's see what
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Mississippi James has got this morning. Good morning, James. Happy Friday.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: All right, brother.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: I come in peace, love everybody, and there's nothing you
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: can do about it.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Good attitude.
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: You know, I look at the way that people think,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: and I've put it in two categories. One is a
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: circle of thinking, and the other one is a linear thinking,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: meaning one has a conscious and he know, believe in karma,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: what he's doing, going to come back to him, good
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: or bad. The other one really don't look backwards. They
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: just go forward. You know, that linear in a straight line,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: you know, money, power, and control. And, you know, we
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: don't hear who we do it to.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Well, that's one way of looking at the linear folks,
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: but there are other linear folks that just are really
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: gosh darn good people living their lives and not needing
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: to look back, but just continuing to move forward in
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: their lives with a smile on their face. Yeah.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Well, I see, you know, when we start talking about
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: there's this group and then there's that group and then
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: someone can say, well, wait a second, you've left out
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: this group or that group. I guess there's a whole
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: bunch of different groups and a different way of thinking. Ultimately,
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: it boils down to what exactly is it that they
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: are doing and can we assess them objectively on whether
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: or not what they're doing is good or bad?
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they crisscrossed good and bad in both groups.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: So I wasn't eliminating nobody. I was just setting the stage.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: And you took it to that part, you know, like
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: a defense litigator would do. And I can explain it more.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Real quick, okay, put the ultimate, conclude with your ultimate
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: point on your direction with the circular versus linear thinking
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: so we all get to what you wanted to point out.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: And I'll keep my mouth shut, James.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Well, I moved to another subject. Now, do you know
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: how the employment numbers, you spoke of the employment numbers
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: being the lowest and such and such.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: Jobless claims as well as full employment is, I think,
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: perceived as 4%, at least that's what government officials, and
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: that's where we are. Full employment with the fewest number
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: of job unemployment claims in 57 years.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Right. And as people fall off that unemployment, they're not
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: counted anymore.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Well, they differentiate between people who are actively looking for
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: work but are not employed. Those would be deemed unemployed
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: because they want to work. And then there's a whole
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: segment of society that has dropped out from not even
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: bothering looking. That's kind of the figure that most people
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: think we should be looking at.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that probably needs to be revamped, you know, because
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: it's out there.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Snap work requirement would get rid of a lot of
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: those people and then push them back into the roles
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: of folks looking for a job.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Yep. Good help. You know, it's a lot to be
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: desired as to how we're going to shape this going forward.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: We know how we did it coming from forward.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Now we need to go forward.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: But I look at it. I'll just suggest whichever direction
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: we go, we probably shouldn't rely on a government idea
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: or plan to solve our problems because I would argue
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: the vast majority of our problems spring from government. You
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: can even go back in the case of slavery. Where
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: did you get slavery? Government enshrined it and upheld it
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: and used military and law enforcement to support it. You know,
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: that's government.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: That's some of that linear thinking right there. So that's
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: the bad part of it. That's a good part of
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: linear thinking.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: It just depends on what vacuum you're listening to or
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: you're involved with.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Which is why the conversation goes on and on and
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: on and on. The in-bin is still full when we die.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: The conversation continues. We can go back and look at
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: the philosophers over the years who've been able to contemplate
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: the idea of existence and political structure thousands of years worth. James,
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: got to run. Appreciate your call, man. 545-55-KRC-D Talk Station.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: 550-55-KRC-D Talk Station. Let us see you. And they're sitting
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: in front of a stack of stupid. Phone calls are welcome. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: But it is Friday, so let's start with an illegal
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: alien and naked. We got U.S. Oh, including ICE as well.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: The trio.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: U.S.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a Nigerian illegal alien canvassing
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: for Democrat congressional candidate Janelle Stelzen.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: Chima.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Here, I'm going to struggle with this. Work with me.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: Chimeo Bim. Adidio Ibojuku. That's about as good as I'm
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: going to. That's his name anyway. Anyway, that mouthful arrested
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: September 27 in the East Pennsboro Township on indecent exposure
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: and disorderly conduct charges after he allegedly exposed himself in
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: a residential neighborhood near a park where residents, and of course,
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: including children, were nearby. Pleaded guilty later to disorderly conduct,
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: ICE took him into custody October 1st, according to the
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Department of Homeland Security. They identified Igbo Djukwe as a
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: canvasser for Stelso and the Democratic nominee in Pennsylvania's 10th
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Congressional District. ICE Deputy Director Charles Wall quoted as saying,
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: it's unbelievable that Janelle Stelso would employ an illegal alien
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: to work on a congressional campaign, let alone a pervert
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: who exposed himself in public. Every single day, the men
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: and women of DHS are working hard to target and
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: remove dangerous, illegal aliens like this sicko from our communities.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: The Trump administration will always put safety of the American
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: people first. Pleaded guilty to the previous charge. What was
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: the third degree misdemeanor?
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: Anyhow.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: This is the kind of people that the Democrats work
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: with anyway. So it's Friday. We've got another naked guy.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Security footage of a naked guy lurking behind a vending machine.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Early morning Wednesday, September 16th, Marion County Sheriff's Office responded
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: to the property in reference to an indecent exposure complaint.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: Female victim walking in the park when she noticed a
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: guy standing near a vending machine watching her. Victim said
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: the man later identified as David Timothy Stewart. He was, quote,
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: completely naked, close quote, as he stood in the public
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: walkway while pleasuring himself. Of course he was. Victim said
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Stewart allegedly ducked into a nearby hallway when he realized
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: the victim had spotted him. A little bit later, victim
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: came over with a boyfriend who came outside reportedly to
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: see Stewart peeking around the vending machine and staring at
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: the victim. Boyfriend yelled, ran toward the vending machine, prompting
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Stewart to flee back into his room. Police made contact
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: with him, claimed to have been sleeping, and denied going
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: outside without his clothes. A report mentioned that the incident
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: was captured on video surveillance footage. Of course it was.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: That showed Stewart, who was wearing shorts, initially smoking a
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: cigarette while repeatedly looking toward the victim. Stewart then allegedly
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: returned to his room before exiting it completely naked. Stewart
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: walked down a public walkway to the vending machine before
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: staring at the victim. That's when he began touching himself
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: before again retreating into his room. Stewart allegedly refused to
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: discuss the incident with the officer. He was placed under
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: arrest and booked in the Marion County Jail charged with
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: indecent exposure of sexual organs. $ 2, 500 bond. Continuing the theme,
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: we go to Charlotte, Florida. A DeSoto County man arrested
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: this past weekend after being accused of exposing and touching
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: himself in public. Charlotte County Sheriff's Office said Matthew James Bean,
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: who's 38, accused of being naked and inappropriately touching himself
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: in the area of Piper Road and Henry Street. That
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: as opposed to appropriately touching himself. It was 6 o'clock
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: in the morning, roughly. He was reportedly, yes, pleasuring himself
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: naked while facing Piper Road, detained, and had an adult
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: item Let me just, here's just a direct read of
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: the sentence. Tell me what this exactly means. He was
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: detained and reportedly had an adult item wrapped around himself. Danny,
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: you get a reading on what that is? Okay, you do.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Well, you're smarter than me, I guess. Maybe my mind
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: isn't as depraved as you, Danny. Yeah, it's a possibility.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: I know. Circular, linear thinking. But anyway, Bean told deputies
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: he didn't remember touching himself because he had blacked out
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: from using drugs. Deputies reported he said he used methamphetamine, ketamine,
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Percocet as well before the incident. Arrested, taken to Advent
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: Health before being cleared by medical staff. Then it was
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: off to the Charlotte County Jail. where he is still
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: facing charges, 555 at 55KRC, the talk station. You and
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: I can talk. We've got something to talk about. Let
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: me know if you want something to talk. You want
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: something specific to talk about, call me up. We have
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: a little time to talk before the bottom of the
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: hour next hour, Tech Friday with Dave Hatter. And a
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: big rundown after that with some judicial candidates and the
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Vets and Brews crew, Matt Damaris in studio at 730
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: for that wonderful charity.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Don't go away.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: I'll be back after the news. It's 605, the 55KRC
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: talk station. My name is Brian Thomas, host of the
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: 55KRC morning show, covering for the vacationing Joe Stretter, Danny Gleason,
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: who's fielding phone calls. If you've got a topic you'd
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: like to talk about, love to hear from you. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK,
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: pound 550 on AT & T phones. Remember, 55KRC. iheart. com, and
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: there's all kinds of information and podcasts there. Check it

  Speaker 3: all out when you can't listen live. Like Bottom of
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: the Hour with Dave had a really important segment. firmly
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: believe that, not just lip service. I've learned a lot
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: from Dave, and he's kept me out of trouble over
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: the years, just trying to share the love and raise awareness,
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: as he quite often does, about the need for greater
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: emphasis on security. That's what his team does at Entrust IT,
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: which sponsors the whole Tech Friday segment. At 7 to 5,
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: an hour from now, Judge Christopher McDowell will be in studio.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Matt Damaris from Vets & Brews joins the program at 7.30,
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: the return of Matt, and just a fun thing to
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: that Matt started quite a few years ago, uh, just
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: to honor the veteran in a small way, buying him
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: a beer magistrate, Susan Lucan, not judge magistrate, Susan Lucan,
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: who is running for a judge blooms position here in
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Hamilton County. Judge blooms, the one responsible for the juvenile
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: court and it's lax light on crime protocol or a philosophy.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Basically just don't prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. Juveniles,
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: even if they've had a record a mile long, uh,
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: We need magistrate Luke and elect her, vote for her,
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: and you can early vote now. I'm going to say
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: that over and over again until election day. Jack Windsor
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: from the Ohio Press Network. Don't know what we're talking
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: about with Jack, but I guarantee we can fill the
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: last part of the 8 o'clock hour with the fun
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: stuff that he's putting over at theohiopressnetwork.com. Let's see here.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: Oh, look, U.S.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Deficit, $ 2 trillion.
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: Up.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: CBO reported the deficit was $ 1. 993 trillion for fiscal year.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: The fiscal year ended September 30th. Is that up or down? Well,
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: of course that's up. 12% up over last year. Largest
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: shortfall since 2021 when we were dealing with COVID-19. Government
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: spent $ 7. 4 trillion, 6% increase. Revenues did rise 3% to
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: $ 5. 4 trillion. The difference is the $ 2 trillion in addition
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: that we spent beyond what we took in. Federal deficit
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: now is more than 6% of gross domestic product. Most notably,
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: why are we deficit spending when we have economic expansion
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: that's been going on for the last several years? That's
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: why tax revenues are up. The United States took in 3%
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: more than last year. So why are we pretending this
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: is a Keynesian situation where the pump needs to be
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: primed because we're dealing with an economic recession? No, we
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: just spend like drunken idiots, not sailors, because they're smarter
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: than that. drunken, cognitively impaired, DSM-5 diagnosable morons. That's what
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: we spend like. How's that? Even in the good times.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: And I pivot over, and one of the problems we've
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: got on our hands, the drain on public resources because
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: we allow every man, woman, and child, illegal or legal,
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: into our country, and they're entitled to access to the
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: social welfare safety net. Policies advocated by nut jobs like
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: New York Mayor Zoran Mondami. He, along with other Democrat cities,
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: of course, they filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: and its effort to remove dependent non-citizens from the welfare
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: system by way of the public charge rule. Well, we
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: can't have that. The public charge rule seeks to push
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: immigrant families away from the program that have kept people
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: fed and healthy for decades.
• 35:30
  Speaker 8: Well, yeah.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Kept the U.S. citizenry fed and healthy for decades. But
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: the problem comes in when you start allowing literally the
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: entire planet to tap into the system. Hey, we've got
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: a spending problem here. Shouldn't there be limits on who
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: can get on this program or not? You've entered the
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: country illegally. We couldn't account for that. I think of
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: actuaries that work in insurance companies, the likelihood that you're
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: going to be involved in an accident, for example. They
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: have statistics on that. Now, how could anyone, notably our
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: federal government, which already had a spending problem before we
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: got inundated during the Biden administration with literally millions and
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: millions of illegal immigrants who came in and tapped into
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: the system. Now, if you knew ahead of time you're
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: going to be facing that type of influx, maybe you
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: could adjust for it. Maybe you could, oh, I don't know,
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: reform your budget to handle the influx. But no one
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: could know. So is it 10 million or 20 million?
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: How many known gotaways are there? How many unknown gotaways
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: are there? All of these random individuals, these unknown individuals,
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: the quantity of individuals now enjoy a seat at the
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: table on some level. So you can see over time
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: that this was allowed to continue the utter collapse of
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: the social welfare system in our country thanks to the unregulated,
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: unchecked flow of humanity into our country. Why does everyone
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: want to come here And why do all the poor
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: countries of the world, think about North African countries, not
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: exactly wealthy, and a whole lot of the Muslim countries
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: where they basically fled to Europe over the past 15,
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: 20 years. Why? Europe at least used to be wealthy,
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: at least by comparison to the countries from whence these
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: folks came. And it's not a racist statement, it's just
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: an observation. And Parenthetically, if I say you're from North Africa,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: what color is a person's skin? You presume it's a
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: certain color. I don't. You know, Elon Musk is an African-American, right?
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: So let's not play that game. Let's just talk about
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: the flow of humanity. And then there's the cultural revolution
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: that comes as a consequence of that. I mean, you know,
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: we used to joke about it. I did, even. I've
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: heard people say this all the time. You know, America
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: doesn't have any culture. It's this big melting pot. The French,
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: now they have a culture. They have art. They have
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: history and architecture, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. They're
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: very unique. Group of people, and they did have a culture.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: Now with 20% of the population foreign-born, they have no
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: connection whatsoever to France, and they're out there running around
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: the streets burning things down, like what's going to happen here.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: Do you think that all the people that are literally
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: burning schools down are unhappy with the conditions in the schools?
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Disaffected high schoolers fed up with overcrowded classes and dilapidated
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: buildings just spontaneously took to the streets? No, I don't
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: think so. It's this left-wing coalition of mixed nuts and fruits.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Fruits and nuts. Any kind of division that they can
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: join together. You got the green folks. You got the LFI.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: That's the Jean-Luc Mélenchon' s far-left party that is behind a
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: lot of this. Coordinating efforts from various groups. You have
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: the Muslim protesters that are in the streets joining forces
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: with the green folks and the communists. How does that happen?
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: And you know what? I read this observation here. Hold on, folks.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: I see the call, but wait a second. Now, in
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: speaking of the Muslim population that's moved into, like, for example,
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: Western Europe and even here, don't share everything in common
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: with the radical left-wingers. But you see they'll join forces.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: It's like the Vietnam War protesters and the new green
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: folks that popped up, the eco-warriors from the late 60s,
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: when the green and cleaning up the environment were all
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: the rage. It was the new thing. But Nice coalition
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: lining up there. What does a war have to do
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: with that? Well, not much, but if you can get
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: them out in protest, the numbers appear much larger. Oh,
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: and then sprinkling an LGBT group over there and the pedophiles. folks,
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: and you can get a nice coalition of folks. But anyway, now,
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: so far as Muslims are concerned, don't share a whole
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: lot in common with the radical left. Now, here, especially
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: on issues like, are you ready? Women's rights, transgenderism, gay marriage,
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: women's rights, generally speaking, they're not aligned. Remember, in Muslim
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: countries where they have, for example, Sharia law, they'll throw
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: a member of the LGBTQ plus community right off the
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: top of a really tall building and dance with joy
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: when that person splatters across the street. Now, how is
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: it that the Muslims are aligned with the radical left
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: who obviously embrace and defend over even the most irrational
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: arguments will defend the LGBTQ plus community? But you know what?
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Save that for another day, right? Say the leftists. They
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: just haven't gotten around to it yet. They will use
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: the Muslim opposition to our system of government and embrace
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: it and stand and walk hand in hand in the protests,
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: waving whatever flag they're waving, you know, from the river
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: to the sea and along with, you know, vote DSA.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: But wait. Because once they prevail with that kind of
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: loose-knit Do you think the left is going to abide
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: the women's rights issues that the Muslims might stand in
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: front of? Or do you think the left is going
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: to allow and embrace a big tent that, well, bottom
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: line is, detests members of the LGBT community, believes women
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: should remain in a more quote-unquote traditional role? Just wait
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: for it. You're out there marching with them. Next thing
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: you know, turn around, you're going to be at the
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: point of a gun. It happens every time. Look at history.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: 615 55 KRC Talk Station. 619 55 KRC Talk Station.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: Loves me Friday. Hope you can say the same. Hope
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: you've got some good plans going on this weekend. Tom
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: and Jackie O'Brien, 50 years married. Celebration tomorrow. Good morning, folks.
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: Dear friends of ours. We'll be celebrating with them. That's
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: one thing we've got going on over the weekend. 503-749-5500, 800-823-TALK.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: Let's see what Bill's got. Actually, it's Al first. Bill,
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: hang on. Cleveland Al, welcome back, my friend. Happy Friday.
• 41:57
  Speaker 8: Good morning. I appreciate you taking the call. You were
• 42:03
  Speaker 8: discussing your consternation about where we are with societal issues,
• 42:11
  Speaker 8: and I think we've got a simple answer. answer here,
• 42:16
  Speaker 8: which is the leftists have co-opted education and they've created
• 42:22
  Speaker 8: generations of useful idiots that are essentially morons, but these
• 42:29
  Speaker 8: morons identify as geniuses. So if men can be women,
• 42:36
  Speaker 8: morons can identify as geniuses. So they think they know
• 42:40
  Speaker 8: it all. They have all the answers. And most of
• 42:43
  Speaker 8: them are in politics.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: So we'll leave it at that. The nefarious manipulate the idiots.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: And the idiots are, I think they're brilliant because what
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: has happened throughout the last 20 years of education, everybody
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: gets a participation trophy. Nobody's better than anybody else. Let
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: us see here. Everybody gets an A, grade inflation. Oh,
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: I graduated with a 4.0. Yeah, but you can't perform
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: basic eighth grade mathematics skills. That makes you definitionally stupid,
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: at least insofar as mathematics are concerned. And then if you,
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, I got in trouble one time, Al.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: I made the mistake of saying out loud what my
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: favorite college professor said to the entire class one day.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: This is 1984. fall of my first week of college.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: He said directly, you folks, I'm sorry to tell you,
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: you're all stupid. And then he went on to explain
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: and have hands held up. How many of you read
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: major publications? He rattled off a whole bunch of them,
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: all political related, because this was a political science class.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: I think one person, me, raised their hands because I
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: read multiple newspapers back then. I like politics.
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: Nobody.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: How many people even watch the news? Maybe four or
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: five hands in a 25-person classroom raise their hands. See
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: what I mean? How can you know what's going on
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: in the world if you don't even spend watching a
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: news program that dedicates 30 seconds to major world issues?
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: That was his point. And I don't think that's changed
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: too much over the years. And about 10 years ago,
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: so I'm in front of a group of young people,
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: and I made the same statement. And one kid got
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: absolutely outraged. It's like 15, 16 years old.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: How dare you call us stupid?
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: Wow. A little sensitive there, but yeah, that's what it is.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: Can't take the truth and can't acknowledge their intellectual deficiencies.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: Appreciate it. Getting me all riled up this morning. Now
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: let's see what Bill's got. Bill, welcome to the program
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: and happy Friday to you.
• 44:35
  Speaker 8: Bill.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: All right, Danny, just let him go. It's time to
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: move on. Yeah, and I saw this wonderful op-ed on
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: this topic. Correctly understanding the quote-unquote stupidity of the left,
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: you can find it, Greg Salisbury. It's a date or
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: a posted date of October 6th. And he's talking about
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: don't just call the left stupid. It may be a
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: dangerous thing because stupid, he points out, Not the word
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: that comes to mind for figures like Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, right?
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: Those are the nefarious folks that manipulate the idiots into
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: doing what they ultimately want done. Calling an adversary's actions
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: crazy or stupid implies those actions produce an outcome fundamentally
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: different from what their architects intended. But what if the
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: opposite is true? What if the policies are producing precisely
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: the disruption their architects sought? This is what I'm talking
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: about all the time on this whole concept of division.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: They don't care what divides us as long as people
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: are arguing amongst themselves. There's no more national unity anymore,
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: not even flying under the banner of freedom that's made
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: this country so damn great and why every human being
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: on the planet, if they have an opportunity to get here,
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: wants to come here. The left is intentionally doing this.
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: They want us to fail. As I pivot back over
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: to the deficit spending we're dealing with here, You're paying
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: $ 1. 2 trillion in interest payments every year. It keeps getting
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: worse every single year. How long do you think this
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: charade can go on? And then meanwhile, you got Zoran
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: Mamdami out in the streets protesting the idea of taking
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: illegal immigrants off the healthcare system, which is collapsing. Social Security,
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: getting ready for a 22% clip. That's coming your way.
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: That's unsustainable. This is ultimately, I think, what they want.
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: The fiat currency collapse of the United States of America
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: is over. Done. And they will be rejoicing in the streets.
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: Just what kind of phoenix, let me ask you, is
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: going to rise from the ashes of that Charlie Foxtrot?
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: 6.30 on a Friday. Love this time. IntrustIT.com, sponsors of
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: the Tech Friday with Dave Hatter segment, Dave's company, employee-owned,
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: and the best in the business, part of the business
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: career for business computer needs. You are in the best
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: hands with Dave and the crew on the job. Dave Hatter,
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: welcome back, my friend. Thank you for sponsoring the segment.
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: It's very informative, and you've kept me out of a
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: lot of trouble over the years.
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: My pleasure, Brian. Always good to be here. Hopefully we're
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: doing some good out there.
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you are, definitely. And I don't have a list.
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: I look for the topic list, which you said you
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: had forwarded over. I can't find it, so I'm flying blind,
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: but I've got you there, and I know you're going
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: to do a great job introing the topics and talking
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: about them. So let's do that.
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: All right, no problem. Check your Gmail, see if it
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: made it there. But anyhow, let's start out with this story.
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: Do you want to say a word about me having
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: a Gmail account, Dave?
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: Well, you know.
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: I'm not a fan of Google, and I don't use
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: Gmail myself, but hey, you know, to each his own, right?
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: Although I will tell you, Brian, and maybe we'll just
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: go off script here for a second, this would be
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: a good opportunity for your listeners to, if you're using Gmail, okay,
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: anytime you're using a free product, you are the product,
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: not the customer.
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: They're collecting your data. Now, I'm not saying that's necessarily nefarious,
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: but reminder that that there are these big tech companies
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: who their entire product is you and the data they're
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: collecting from you. You don't have to take my words
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: where people can go out and on their own see
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: what privacy-friendly organizations like EFF and so forth say about
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: these things.
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: You brought this up, Manny. I hope everybody listening on
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: this goes, yeah, you've told us this already, Dave. I mean,
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: that's what they do. They collect your data. So basically
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: you're telling me Gmail's doing the same damn thing.
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: Well, yes.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: This is one of the things that Google is most
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: known for. So there are other much more privacy-friendly options
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: out there. I switched from Gmail to ProtonMail probably almost
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: six years ago now. ProtonMail is one of many good
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: services that are more privacy-friendly. Proton is in Switzerland. There's
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: a whole bunch of reasons. And again, you go out
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: there and the audience can do your own research on this.
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: But I've been using ProtonMail for a while. There is
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: a free entry level. It's a freemium type of model
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: where you can start for free and then pay. I
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: pay to get the extra capabilities. It's a nominal fee.
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: I probably pay less in a year for Proton and
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: the other services they provide. They have a very well-known,
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: well-respected VPN. They have an excellent and well-respected password manager.
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: They have a feature like Google Drive or OneDrive where
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: you can share files securely. So they've got a bunch
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: of stuff, right? Again, they're very well known in the
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: privacy community. And I would remind folks out there, Brian,
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: that I have on my sub stack that we talk
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: about all the time a list of the products that
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: I use personally, not the work-related stuff, not the professional stuff,
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: the stuff that I use personally because it's more business-friendly.
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: I'll post that in my show note today. If you
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: just go to my sub stack and look and search
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: for privacy, you'll find it. So it's including ProtonMail, including
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: browsers other than Chrome, which we've talked about many times. So,
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: you know, if you're looking to kind of maybe take
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: some of my advice, see what other people who care
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: about privacy and are not thrilled with our surveillance capitalism
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: model are doing, you know, again, there's plenty of resources
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: you can find out there with guidance for how to
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: shift away from these surveillance capitalism model systems to more
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: privacy-friendly options. Again, I've documented all the stuff I'm currently using,
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: and I'll update it if I decide to switch. It's funny, too, Brian, because,
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: you know, when you get, like, three nerds in a room,
• 50:49
  Speaker 4: at least one of them is going to have a
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: different opinion that's going to tell you you're wrong about it.
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: Guaranteed.
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: So, you know, one of the pleas that I make
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: in my post is, hey, if you've got a better option,
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: let me know. You know, I'm not locked into these things.
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: And at any given time, any company can change their
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: business model. And I might change my perspective on why
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: you should or should not use them. But, yeah, I
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: haven't used Gmail for a long time. I would encourage
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: folks to do their own research. I know it's free.
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: I know it's been around for a long time. I
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: know people have an investment in it, quote, unquote, because
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: they've used it for a long time. But I'll also
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: tell you, many of the better companies out there who
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: want your business and are more privacy-friendly will make it
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: easy for you to switch. Um, same thing with, uh,
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: switching your browser from Chrome to something else. You know,
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: I use a combination of different browsers, primarily Firefox and brave.
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: Both of them make it very easy for you to
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: import your bookmarks from Chrome. Then you get easy for
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: you to import your stuff, to switch over. And, you know,
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: once you get that done and there's all kinds of
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: online guides for this too, Brian, plus now you have AI,
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: they can talk you through it. So it's never been easier.
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: to divest from these surveillance capitalism, data Hoover-type systems to
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: something that's more privacy and security friendly. Again, I personally
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: use ProtonMail. There are other good ones out there. If
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: you hit my sub stack, you can see my entire list.
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: If you think I'm wrong, got a better suggestion, send
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: it to me. I'll look into it because I'm always
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: looking for the stuff that is.
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: Going to be more.
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: And the reason I say more privacy friendly, and this
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: is some of the disagreement I get with people... Am
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: I using the most privacy-friendly? Well, maybe not. But I'm
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: also trying to find things that don't create an enormous
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: amount of friction for me and I can recommend to
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: other people.
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: It has to be functional.
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: Because not everyone is as technically inclined as I am
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: and may not want to spend a whole bunch of
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: time trying to figure something out. I'm trying to balance
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: privacy and usability so that more people will have options
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: to get out of these companies that are basically turning
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: you into their product.
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: A worthy diversion from the actual topic list, which we'll
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: jump back to. But if you're looking for the sub-stack
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: he's referring to, it's linkedin.com. That's where you can find
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: Dave Hatter. Just search for Dave Hatter and you'll find him. Linkedin.com.
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: 642-55-KRC-D Talk Station. Run a little long on that last
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: segment with Tech Friday's Dave Hatter brought to you by
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: Interest IT. So, Dave, in the three minutes in this segment,
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: we'll get back on track. Are we going to talk
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: pig butchering, or are we going to talk about the
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: 50 terabytes of data that went poof? Is he not there? Danny? Sorry. Oh,
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: there he is. Did you put your mute on again?
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: Stop doing that. Sorry. Let's talk about the 50 terabytes
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: that went poof, because I can make it really short.
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: So this is an example where even if you read it,
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: and I can only tell you from the reporting, they
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: tried to do the right thing. They worked with a
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: third-party provider to have off-site backups and so forth. But
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: then the provider went out of business, and apparently they've
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: lost 50 terabytes of data. For someone that's not really
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: down with all this megabytes, terabytes, then 50 terabytes is
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: an enormous amount of data. Now, a lot of it's
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: probably video since they were a TV station, but video
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: takes up a lot of space. Here's my point. I
• 54:10
  Speaker 4: would tell you, both for individuals and especially for businesses,
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: it's never been more important to have resilience built into
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: your plan. There's nothing you can do. There's no amount
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: of money you can spend that will make you completely
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: impervious to both cyber attacks, which are increasing thanks to AI,
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: and equipment failure. I've lost data in the past because
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: something failed and I didn't take the time to back
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: it up. It's never been easier or cheaper to do this.
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: There's never been more options. every business should be following
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: something called the backup rule of three, two, one. If
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: something is important, if something, if you have something you
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: don't want to lose for whatever reason, especially if it's
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: mission critical to the operation of your business, you should
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: have three copies of it. The production copy you're working
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: off of every day, another copy on a different medium,
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: and then a third copy off site somewhere. Obviously all encrypted,
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: all protected, um, So that even if the two copies
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: at your site, so again, let's say production server, let's
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: say backup NAS or something, right? There's many different ways
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: to hit this T1 rule. Even if your building gets
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: hit by a tornado or something, you still have the
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: data off-site somewhere. They, as I understand it for me,
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: only had two copies or maybe even one copy in
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: this off-site storage. And when that went away, it was
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: all gone. You know, I have firsthand knowledge, Brian, of
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: businesses that have had catastrophic loss because of this sort
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: of thing. It's never been easier. This is something, obviously,
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: in-course trust can help you with, and I'm happy to
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: explain it in detail to anyone who wants to reach out.
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: Backup rule 321, never been easier, never been less expensive either,
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: to ensure you have continuity for your business by doing that.
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: And they show you what happens when you don't.
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: Sound advice from Dave Hatter. Heed what he has to say.
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: It is 6.50 at the 85KRCD talk station. Tech Friday
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: with Dave Hatter. LinkedIn.com to find Dave's articles and his
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: sub stack that he relies upon. And you can check
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: that throughout the week. IntrustIT.com to get in touch with
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: Dave and the team to help your business along with
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: these computer issues we talk about throughout every time on
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: this weekend or on this Friday program. Dave, it's pig slaughtering?
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: Pig butchering. Butchering.
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the official term. And I want to start out
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: and mention this. The link I sent you to this website,
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: Operation Shamrock, I strongly recommend people go there. Again, I'll
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: post it in my notes and throw it out there
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: in all the social media and so forth. They focus
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: on these kind of scams, and one of the key
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: people behind it has got some very interesting research. Erin West,
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: she's become fairly famous. She travels around the world trying
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: to show these sorts of large-scale operations in action. Because
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: I think one of the things many people do not
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: realize is so much of the scams and fraud that
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: are out there today are not like one individual person
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: trying to scam you. These are organized criminal gangs all
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: around the world, usually in places where they can't be
• 57:15
  Speaker 4: touched by U.S. law enforcement, targeting U.S. citizens and others.
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: But obviously, you know, we're very wealthy here compared to
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: the rest of the world. So there's a lot more
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: opportunity to steal here. And it's very sophisticated. These people
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: are essentially trained con artists. They're not sophisticated technical people
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: in many cases, if not most cases. They are trained
• 57:37
  Speaker 4: con artists, and they're using all of this digital technology
• 57:41
  Speaker 4: that we rely on now to come after you on
• 57:44
  Speaker 4: your phone via text or phone calls, via email, via
• 57:47
  Speaker 4: social media, via chat apps, via video games. If there
• 57:52
  Speaker 4: are people there and they can get to you, they
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: will get to you. And before I run out of time,
• 57:57
  Speaker 4: the whole idea of pig butchering is the concept, right?
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: You want to fatten the pig up before you slaughter it, right?
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: So suddenly you're on a dating app, let's say, or
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: Facebook or TikTok or fill in the blank. Again, anywhere
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: there's people, and suddenly someone wants to connect with you.
• 58:16
  Speaker 4: And then they seem like your soulmate or something. Now,
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: it may be just because they're really good con artists, Brian,
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: but remember that There is now so much data that
• 58:25
  Speaker 4: has been leaked and stolen about every single one of us,
• 58:28
  Speaker 4: thanks to the big tech companies, to some extent, that
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: I mentioned I don't like. When people tell me, I
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: got nothing to hide, I don't care about my data,
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: you can read my emails or whatever, I could go
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: on and on about all the reasons why that's bad.
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: But for one reason alone, all of that information that's
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: getting sucked up from all the free apps, all your
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: IoT devices, all this stuff is constantly being bought and sold.
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: It's constantly being leaked. I'm not saying inadvertently. I'm saying
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: in many cases inadvertently, but then it's out there. We've
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: talked about it many times, Brian. I bet you there
• 58:59
  Speaker 4: is no one in your listening audience that hasn't gotten
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: a data breach notification from someone. Hey, this is company X.
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: We lost your data. Here's a three-year credit monitoring. Good luck.
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: And they go about their business with no real impact
• 59:14
  Speaker 4: to them, and you're the one at toes. And this
• 59:16
  Speaker 4: is where it really starts to bite you. So, again,
• 59:18
  Speaker 4: your soulmate shows up on Match.com or Facebook or whatever.
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: They know all kinds of information about you because they
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: have access to all of this data that's been leaked.
• 59:28
  Speaker 4: So all of a sudden, oh, you like kids too. Oh,
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: you like Princess Bride, whatever it is. They have all
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: of this information. They're stringing you along. They're building up rapport.
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: You know, romance scams kind of fit into this same bucket.
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: It might be a romance scam. It might be a
• 59:45
  Speaker 4: crypto scam. It's probably some combination of both. But the
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: idea of pig butchering is they will continue to string
• 59:51
  Speaker 4: you along, build up trust and rapport, and then somewhere
• 59:55
  Speaker 4: along the way hit you with something like, oh, you know,
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: I made some money in crypto. Let me tell you
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 4: that because we're buddies now or you're my soulmate or
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 4: fill in the blank. And then you invest a little bit.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 4: You make some money. The whole thing has been a
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 4: setup from day one. Eventually, they have you invest $ 10, 000, $ 100, 000,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 4: whatever they think you're going to do. And now they
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 4: know you and they've extracted this information slowly over time.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 4: And then they steal your money. This is happening all
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 4: the time. And as this article points out, In many cases,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 4: there is no requirement for you as an individual to
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 4: report this. You're embarrassed.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: You're ashamed.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 4: You don't want to report it. So whatever numbers that
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 4: the FBI and the FBI's annual crime report talks about this,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 4: everyone should go read that. Internetcrimecomplaintscenter.org, IC3. gov. And the scope
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: of this is massive. This article, again, which I'll post
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: great insights into it, how to avoid it, what to
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: do about it. A lot more detail than I have
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 4: time to get into here because I know we're about
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 4: out of time. Operation Shamrock, they focus on these kind
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: of scams. Great resource.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: Beware, folks.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: Your soulmate probably didn't just find you on TikTok.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: No question about it. And Dave, I laughed out loud
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: when you talked about someone starting paying attention to your
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: best friend out of nowhere. It reminded me when I
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: was a younger man. Well, I still feel this way,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: although I'm not actively in the dating scene. I haven't
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: been married as long as I have to my beautiful wife,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: but I was always extraordinarily skeptical and in a state
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: of absolute disbelief if some good-looking girl approached me at
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: the bar and started to be very flirty with me.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: I'm like, wait a second. Something is not right here.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: This person is flirting with me. There's got to be
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: something going on.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, Brian, I felt the same way back
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 4: then because, I mean, I have a mirror. I know.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: See?
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 4: This isn't going to happen.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: Face for radio from me. It all worked out, didn't it, Dave?
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: God bless you. LinkedIn.com for Dave for the articles. IntrustIT.com
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: for Dave and the crew. Dave, we'll do this again
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: next Friday. I sure appreciate what you're doing for us.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 4: All right. Thanks, Brian. Look forward to chatting with you then.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: Look forward to it as well. Stick around, folks. Judge
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: Christopher McDonald. Vote McDowell. McDowell will be in studio. Looking
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: forward to having him here. And then Matt Damaris will
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: also be in studio with Vets and Brews. More love
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: for the American veteran coming up in the next hour
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: on the 55KRC Morning Show.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 7: 7 0 6.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: Here at 55 KRC talk station, Brian Thomas, wishing everyone
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: a very happy Friday and happy to welcome into the
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: 55 KRC morning show. He is running for judge. We
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: need to vote for him. It's Chris McDowell in studio,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: judge McDowell. Thank you for showing up today. And I
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: obviously off the, out of the gate, um, wish you
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: all the best in the world. It's a huge concern
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: among a lot of folks, including a lot of people
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: in my listening audience. No one really pays close attention
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: to the judicial races. You don't run under a party affiliation. You,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: so you, you, You have to earn the endorsement from
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: the Republicans or Democrats. That's how people know who you're
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: affiliated with or connected with anyway. But because so few people, thankfully,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: aren't involved in the judicial system or criminal justice system
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: as a subset, they don't know. They don't know what
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: it's like. And many people who, I mean, some people
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: don't even understand the concept of judicial activism and judicial conservatism,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: conceptually even, to know one way or another whether any
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: judge is qualified. Good to have you here in the
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: morning show, and welcome, sir.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 5: Thank you very much. I'm very happy to be here.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 5: It's good to see you again.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: It is my pleasure. Again, it's keepjudgemcdowell.com. It's a website
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: you can learn all about. And let's start real quickly
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: here because on the heels of Tech Friday with Dave Hatter,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: I'm going to have to ask you about the judge
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: throwing the observer out of the courtroom in the Hinton
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: case using technology, the smart glasses. It records everything out there.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, as a judge, you're going to have to
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: deal with this. And the other component is Not just
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: that type of incident, but also something that really puts
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: some concern in me is the proof beyond a reasonable
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: doubt thing you need in a criminal justice case. With
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: artificial intelligence turning out videos that look absolutely real, what
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: do you anticipate being the challenges down the road with that?
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: If I can even ask you that. I know we've
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: got advisory opinion problems, but can you feel that?
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a lot of questions at once.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: It's compounding nature. I'll give you an opportunity to just
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: do a stream of consciousness response and throw in anything
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: you want. Watch him do this.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 5: Well, first, I would say that the jury pool and
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 5: jurors need to be protected. And people who come into
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 5: the courtroom, in the courthouse, you cannot video record because
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 5: also witnesses need to be protected because we've had instances
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 5: where witnesses were photographed and then that was put out
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 5: there and then they were killed. And so you can't
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 5: just record people in the courthouse, and that's one of
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 5: the primary reasons. Secondary reason is jurors and the protection
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 5: of jurors, because many people might want to try to
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 5: bribe a juror, hurt a juror, talk to a juror.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 5: And so when I do a criminal case, they have numbers.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 5: I have their names, but it's juror number four, juror
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 5: number six. They're never addressed by their last name. When
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 5: I go through it, I'll say Joe S. But we
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 5: need to protect jurors. And someone... filming a juror, particularly
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 5: in this case, what she was doing was basically saying
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 5: that the juror was an Uncle Tom. She was saying,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 5: this juror, this is a black juror. The juror is
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 5: a sellout. And putting that information out into the internet
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 5: placed that juror at risk. And I think it's a
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 5: way of trying to influence that juror to get their
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 5: friends to talk to them and so forth. It's really bad.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: Well, and the elephant in the room for me as
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: you say that, and I'm certain that goes on, The
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: same thing probably happening to our elected officials. Threats, right?
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: If you don't do something this way, then we are
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: coming after you, whoever this collective we is that puts
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: fear in the hearts and minds of a lot of people.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: That really concerns me. And the other component is, how
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: do you deal with the video evidence, if there is any?
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if you know, technologically speaking,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: if there's a way to figure out where something is fake,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: but that has me concerned because any savvy defense attorney
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: can easily put some reasonable doubt in someone's mind about
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: whether it's real or not.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 5: Well, and it gets better and better every day. The
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 5: AI technology gets better. It was like a little child
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 5: a year ago, and now it's an adult. It's so
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 5: much better than it used to.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: Well, let's talk about Judge McDowell's career. I thank you
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: very much for your service to our country. I'd like
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: to acknowledge that you are a veteran, and you voluntarily
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: entered American military, and you also then became a judge
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 3: advocate general with your law degree. So you represented the
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: service members?
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir. First- I am the only military veteran who
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 5: is a judge or magistrate in Hamilton County. The only one.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 5: Times have changed. We don't have that in our courthouse anymore.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 5: People who have basically put their butt on the line
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 5: for the Constitution. I'm the only one who's done that. Yes,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 5: first I was a military prosecutor in Korea. I was
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 5: a military prosecutor for southern Germany, northern Africa, the former
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 5: East Bloc countries. Then I did that so well they
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 5: made me a defense attorney. And I volunteered for a
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 5: deployment as a NATO peacekeeper to Bosnia. And that's where
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 5: I met my wife, Anna Castellini, who obviously lives in Cincinnati.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 5: The Army sent me to Fort Riley. They sent her
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 5: to Fort Hood. They wouldn't put us together, so we
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 5: both got out before 9-11, or we probably never would
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 5: have gotten out.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 3: God has a way of planning things, sir. I hope
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: you married out of your element or outkicked your coverage
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: like I did.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: 100%.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you did.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 9: 100%.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: Now, on to the practice of law. You were over
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: at Dinsmore and Scholl, I have that right? And you
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: did all kinds of types of cases, both civil and
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: criminal with Dinsmore?
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 5: That's right. One, before I became a judge, I was
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 5: the prosecutor in the city of Wyoming, also the prosecutor
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 5: for the village of Newtown. I've both prosecuted murder cases
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 5: and defended murder cases. On the civil side, I've done
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 5: multi-million dollar civil cases from the plaintiff's side and the
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 5: defense side. So I cover all aspects of what a
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 5: common pleas judge does. People get confused about the levels
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 5: of judges. Common pleas court, we deal with the serious felonies,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 5: the murderers, the rapists, and the big dollar civil cases.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 5: We don't deal with traffic cases. And so I've done
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 5: those cases. I've got the most experience. My opponent, according
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 5: to the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts, has never tried
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 5: a case, civil or criminal, and the Hamilton County Court
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 5: of Common Pleas.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: And there is where the rubber meets the road. I
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: was literally just going to ask you, how important is it?
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: Because I know the importance. Never sat on the bench before,
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: but I've been in front of a lot of judges
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: in my legal career. And that's where, as a practicing
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: attorney and trying cases and being in front of judges,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: you learn who the good ones are and who they aren't.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: And you also learn what it is to be a
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: a good judge and be fair and equitable because, you know,
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: quite often you find yourself on the short end of
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: the receiving side of a judge who's obviously biased.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 5: And it's so important that as a judge, you make
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 5: split-second decisions that are so important to people's lives that
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 5: And you have to have a background to make informed,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 5: good decisions so quickly. And that comes from experience. And
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 5: there's no substitute for experience. The first time you see
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 5: an Ohio murder case, you should not be the judge.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's as simple as that.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't understand, honestly, how you could be
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 3: a judge if you have never tried a case. Evidentiary
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 3: issues alone.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 5: The civil case aspect of it is even more significant.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 5: In civil cases, they file motion after motion. There's so
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 5: many more issues in a civil case that go on.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 5: Jury selection differs from state to state. You have to
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 5: know the Ohio jury selection rules the voir dire. And
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 5: just to be doing that on the fly, that's not
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 5: the kind of judge you want.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 4: No, it isn't.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: You said civil's a lot different.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: I used to practice civil litigation. We used to call
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: it scorched earth litigation when I was up in Chicago. Yeah,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: it is. There's a lot of work, a lot of
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 3: evidence and a lot, a lot of motions.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 5: I have, I have over 600 cases on my docket
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 5: and the majority of those are actually civil cases. I
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 5: have 16 murder cases that were on my docket. I
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 5: have so many murder cases. It's, it's hard for me
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 5: to keep them straight. It's, it's really amazing. The level
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 5: of crime that goes on. I do. My own arraignments
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 5: in serious felony cases to make sure that bond is
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 5: set appropriately to protect society.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, there's that bond thing. So you have a perception
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 3: that bond is appropriate, that the public is in need
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: of some measure of protection from time to time, right?
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 5: Oh, absolutely.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 3: There are flight risks out there, so you don't go
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 3: zero bond in every case that comes into your courtroom,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: I presume.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 5: No, not at all. We passed a constitutional amendment in
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 5: Ohio that requires judges to take into consideration public safety issues.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 5: when they set a bond. And we have judges, and
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you, quite frankly, who are not doing that.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 5: What people don't understand, if somebody commits, for example, a murder,
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 5: I don't have jurisdiction over that case until the person's
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 5: been indicted. The municipal court judge in room A sets
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 5: the initial bond. I have cases with people who have
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 5: felonies of the first degree where I'm doing the arraignment
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 5: and they're not in my courtroom. And I'm like, where
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 5: are they? And they say, well, judge, they bonded themselves
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 5: out last night. And I look at the bond for
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 5: an F1 It'll be $ 2, 000 at 10% on a felony
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 5: of the first degree where you're looking at 11 years
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 5: in prison and walking out. And I have to issue
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 5: warrants for people to come in there so I can
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 5: set an appropriate bond. I'll tell you this. Since I've
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 5: been a judge, no one out on bond to a
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 5: case that's been on my docket has committed another violent crime.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: That's what we need to hear. He's in the studio.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: He is Judge Christopher McDowell, and you can help him out.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: Check out his website. Learn all about his past, his history,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 3: and we need to get him on the bench for
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 3: another term right there at keepjudgemcdowell.com. We're going to continue
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 3: the conversation. Right now, it's 715 at 55 Karasini Talk Station. 719,
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: 55 Karasini Talk Station. Very, very happy Friday to you.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 3: Judge McDowell in the studio. You can vote Chris McDowell.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 3: And again, keepjudgemcdowell.com to help him out. Maybe get a
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 3: yard sign. Judge McDowell, you have yard signs. I've seen
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 3: them around.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 5: I do. I have them in my car if you
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 5: want one.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 3: Here's a thought exercise. It wasn't that long ago, almost
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: on a weekly basis, if not more often, we were
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 3: hearing tales of woe about overcrowding at the jail. Now,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: I guess I'm kind of curious because crime, I know
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: crime statistically has gone down, but I don't think it's
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 3: gone down enough to create the situation, which I apparently
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 3: know about now because you told me in the off air,
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 3: but Did they fix the problem, or is this really
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 3: the judiciary in Hamilton County, which has given us a
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: false sense of safety here? Because I don't think the
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: jail is empty at all right now.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 5: Well, if you harken back to when we closed down
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 5: the Queensgate jail, and that was hundreds of beds that
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 5: were closed down. And when they closed down Queensgate, we
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 5: were told we were going to have to build a
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 5: new jail. We heard all this. We need to get
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 5: a funding. We need to build a new jail. When's
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 5: the last time you heard about building a new jail?
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 5: The reason is because we can't fill this jail that
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 5: we have right now. They've closed sections of the jail entirely.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 5: There are over 260 empty beds in the jail right now.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 5: And that's because these progressive judges are not holding people accountable.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 5: It's even worse in the juvenile system at 2020. I'm
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 5: told that the 2020 detention center is basically empty.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 3: You know, the cops have told me that lots of times.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: FFP president Ken Coburn's been on the show. It's just
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 3: like a pointless exercise to pick up a juvenile because
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 3: they're just going to let them go.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 5: It's like the hotel on the shining, totally empty. And
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 5: that's because people are, juveniles in particular, are not being
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 5: held accountable. Then they turn 18 years old and they're
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 5: used to the slap on the wrist. They steal a
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 5: gun like they've done before. They come into my courtroom
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 5: and oh, lo and behold, they're going to prison. And
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 5: they're shocked, shocked that somebody would hold them accountable. And
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 5: it's a very unfortunate thing that we have going on here.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 5: We have empty beds because judges are not holding people accountable.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: Frightening stuff. Next question. So you deal with the bonds
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 3: appropriately on the front end, considering public safety, of course,
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: because that's one of the reasons for higher bonds. What
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 3: about the backside? Probation.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 5: The backside of probation. Now, There are a certain element
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 5: of society here who are addicted to drugs. And I
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 5: never want to put, for example, a drug addict in
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 5: prison if I can avoid it. I always give them
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 5: an opportunity to get treatment because if I can get
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 5: them treatment, that is the least expensive route. The reason
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 5: they're breaking into your car and committing crimes is because
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 5: they're a drug addict. If we can get that demon
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 5: out of them, then we eliminate why they're breaking into
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 5: things and doing crimes.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: But.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 5: So I put those people on probation. And when I do,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 5: I put them on strict probation. The progressive judges have
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 5: taken over our probation office. We've closed these probation substations
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 5: throughout the city. I say we, not me. The Republican
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 5: judges voted to keep those substations open. Those substations were
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 5: so important to those communities that they donated buildings to
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 5: the city. The city was paying nothing. The county was
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 5: paying no rent for those buildings because those communities felt
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 5: it was so important to have those people there. So
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 5: if somebody is on probation, one of the things I
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 5: want them to have is a job. Now, instead of
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 5: walking into their nearby substation, they have to get on
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 5: a bus and go all the way downtown. And so
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 5: they miss a half a day of work and it's
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 5: very difficult for them to keep a job. Idle hands
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 5: are the devil's workshop. If you're on probation, I order
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 5: you to get a job, a real job with a W-2,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 5: not working for your uncle, getting paid under the table,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 5: but a real job The other thing is they have
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 5: the system of rewards. Now, have you heard about this?
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 5: If you're on probation, if you do well on probation,
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 5: then they start giving you rewards. The rewards can include
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 5: things like gift cards to get groceries, other things. At
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 5: one point, it did include Cincinnati Reds tickets. But most concerning,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 5: as a reward, they allow somebody as a reward to
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 5: skip a urinalysis.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 4: What?
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 4: What?
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 5: Yes, and I'm putting people who are drug addicts on probation,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 5: and then as a reward.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 3: Get out of jail free card for one drug test skip?
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 5: That's what that is? Yes, it's outrageous. And so if
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 5: you're a drug addict, you're jonesing for drugs. And so
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 5: if you know that you can use drugs and not
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 5: be caught, then what happens is you just start to
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 5: spiral back down.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 3: Out of control.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 5: That's not a reward. A reward should be you have
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 5: more drug testing.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 3: Well, and you know, the little libertarian in me is
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 3: always for years saying, you know, I don't believe in
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: criminalizing self-abuse. If you're going to abuse drugs, you're doing
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: yourself a massive problem and you're probably going to end
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 3: up dying. But why should I throw you in jail
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 3: for something you're doing to yourself? But the reason is,
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 3: and this is where the tough on the drug use
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 3: is really compassion to your point. I transferred my views
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 3: or I changed my viewpoint because the only way to
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: help that person is to get them into rehabilitation. The
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 3: only way to get them into rehabilitation sometimes is is
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 3: the involvement of the criminal justice system.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 9: You give them the option.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 3: You want to go to jail? No. Okay, well, you
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 3: know what? We want to solve your problem. We are
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 3: compassionate in our treatment of you because we are offering
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 3: you those services which you so desperately need. Why not
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 3: take us up on the offer?
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Bron, I have asked over 30 fentanyl addicts this
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 5: one question, the same question. I ask them, where is
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 5: this leading you? Where is this going for you? And
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 5: I always get the same one-word answer, death.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: Death.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 3: Death.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 5: And I'll ask them, do you want to die? Do
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 5: you want to live? Do you want life? Do you
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 5: want to have your life back? And if they say
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 5: they want to have their life back, absolutely. I want
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 5: to give them their life back. I want to give
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 5: somebody their mother back. I want to give somebody their
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 5: daughter back, society back, a productive citizen again. If I
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 5: just warehouse them for six months, they're going to come
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 5: out with being the same drug addict that they were
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 5: going in.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: And they'll probably learn some more nefarious tricks while they're
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: locked up.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, if not used while they're locked up because we
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 5: have a problem with drugs in the jail. Believe me,
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 5: we have a problem with drugs in our jail right now.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: It's a leadership issue on that one, I would say.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 5: 100%.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: Keepjudgemcdowell.com. Sounds like a great idea to me. Judge McDowell,
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: it has been a pleasure talking with you, having you
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 3: in the studio. I look forward to maybe doing it
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: again before the election. And guess what? We can all
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 3: go out. out and vote as early as today, can't we?
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 5: Yes, you can go down there today. I went down there.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 5: I've already voted.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 3: Good for you. Leading by example.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 5: Fast and easy.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 3: Thanks for all the great work you've done on the
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 3: bench so far, and I sure hope that the listening
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 3: audience considers you and also takes friends and recommends voting
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 3: Judge McDowell as well. You would probably say the same
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: thing about Leah Denkelacher and Magistrate Lukin, too.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 5: Love them. They're great. And Judge Katie Cash and Winkler.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 5: We have a wonderful, highly qualified ticket.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 3: GOPjudges.com. They can get the whole list. Judge McDowell, it's
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 3: great having you in.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 5: Thank you, sir.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: Take care, my friend. 726 right now, 55KRC, The Talk Station.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 3: It is 732-55-CARE-CD Talk Station. If you know me, you
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 3: ever listen to the morning show, you know I do
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 3: anything I can for the American veteran and active duty
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 3: service people. God bless each and every one of you
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 3: for signing the bottom line and defending our nation and freedoms,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 3: which is what I believe in. And somebody else who
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 3: believes in that, Matt Damaris from Vets and Brews in
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 3: the studio, along with Del, the king of the beer diet.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 4: I am.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 3: I'm going to make you talk about that because that's hilarious. Matt,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 3: it's great seeing you back in the studio again. Adele,
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 3: of course. Remind my listeners the whole concept of Vets & Brews.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 9: Vets & Brews, I collect online donations, $ 10 online donations.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 9: I use that money to buy a vet a beer.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 9: Whatever is left over from that $ 10 goes to Patriot's Landing,
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 9: which is a veteran wood shop down in Kentucky that
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 9: handcrafts the flag boxes that are the only ones sold
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 9: at Arlington National Cemetery.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 3: That's a great operation.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 9: It's awesome.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 3: And if you look up Patriot's Landing, for my veterans
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 3: out there who may be looking for some support group,
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 3: maybe you want some hobby, maybe you like woodcraft, they
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 3: have a beautiful building with a shop, and everyone just
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 3: has a wonderful time, and they share a fellowship experience
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 3: while they're also pursuing the mission. It's a Christian-based organization,
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 3: but they're all about helping the American veteran and extending
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 3: out beyond that, too. They had an elderly woman there
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 3: whose husband was a veteran and she stumbled on in
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 3: there one day and she's been working with them ever
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 3: since making woodcraft items.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 4: It's great.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: I actually made a box myself. I'm a nine year
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: army veteran. So I did. I was a counterintelligence agent
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: in the army.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 3: See, you know, I should have thanked you for your
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 3: service to Dell. Darn it.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, I've been there. I've done the box. It's
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: a great experience for veterans.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all I've heard was great things about it.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: All right, so both benefit. The veteran gets the beer,
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 3: Patriot's Landing gets the leftover, and we all benefit from
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 3: it collectively. Now, you've got some events coming up. There's
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 3: a reason you're here, and I know if you're capable
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 3: of supporting Vets & Brews, this great organization, you could
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 3: be a sponsor of the events. What's going on with that?
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 9: Honor bus, man. It's our fifth year doing it here
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 9: in Cincinnati. We've got two buses, basically for Honor Bus.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 9: I fill up two school buses the Saturday before Veterans Day.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 9: This year it's going to be on November 7th. We
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 9: go to three local breweries that are celebrating Veterans Day events.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 9: We give the veterans a t-shirt, buy their beers at
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 9: the breweries, feed them, and just have a good time.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 9: I mean, you've been on it.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: It's a good time. Not being a veteran, I don't
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: get as good of an experience out of it as
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 3: the veterans. You guys look like you're all having one
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 3: hell of a great time.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 5: It's fun.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 3: It's like a college fraternity reunion or something like that.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Smiles everywhere.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: Some more than others, right?
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 3: Well, that's true.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 10: I'm like the chief cat herder. I've got two buses
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 10: full of veterans that are making three stops at breweries.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 10: I've got to make sure by the end of it
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 10: that they're all accounted for.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 3: Well, there's beer at the destination, the various breweries you
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 3: go to, but there's also beer on the bus.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. Lots. Bus beers.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 3: Lots of beers. Don't go away. We've got more details
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 3: on this, the fun and games, and in sponsorship, too.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 3: It's vetsandbrews.com. The word am, not an ampersand. Vetsandbrews.com. Hope
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: that works for you. I struggle with this morning show
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 3: computer from time to time, but I'm staring at the site.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 3: Honor Bus Sponsorships. Between $ 100 and $ 1, 000 makes you a sponsor,
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 3: and they can sure use the help. Don't go away.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 3: We've got more. 735 right now, 55KRC Detox Station. 740,
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 3: 55KRC Detox Station. Having fun with Matt and Del in
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 3: studio for Vets and Brews, which you can find online
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 3: at Vetsandbrews.com. Now, we already solicited sponsors, which they can
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 3: go to Vets and Brews and help out with the event.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 3: It's actually events. There's two buses or two venues this year,
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 3: Cincinnati and Columbus, right?
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 9: Yeah, for the first time ever, we're kind of branching out.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 9: I'll be up in Columbus heading up that bus, and
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 9: then Del's leading the bus down here. Two buses down
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 9: here in Cincinnati. So more vets, more breweries, more fun.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 3: Well, and more fundamentally, pin-up girls. This is, you know, you.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 9: Say, well, we got a flyover this year.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 4: We're doing this.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 3: And Del's like, yeah, it's a bit. And we got
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 3: pinup girls. I'm like, what?
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I looked into that one.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 3: Good old school 1940s style pinup girls.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 5: There you go.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 9: They'll be there to take pictures with the veterans at
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 9: High Green. That's our first stop from 12 to 130
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 9: on the 7th. And that's where the flyover is going
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 9: to happen, the national anthem. Yeah, we got a pilot
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 9: group out of Louisville. So we want the public to
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 9: come out, meet these veterans, shake their hands, and watch
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 9: the flyover, get pictures with them.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 3: I like that idea. So, uh, let me think here. The, um,
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 3: the start time is what I was struggling with. Again,
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 3: I wanted you to remind folks about the start time.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 3: I'm going to have a Danny to the extended camp,
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 3: but all this link or put the links up at
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 3: the 55 care c.com website. But what kind of people
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 3: need to be at the venue? Because we're going to
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 3: get to how veterans get on the bus here in
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 3: a second. But what's the start time so people can
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 3: know if we're planning purpose?
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'll have the schedule on the Vets & Brews
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 9: Facebook page. We're usually about an hour, hour and 15 minutes.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 9: The first stop's always longer because we do the National Anthem.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 9: We have to get everybody checked in. So High Grain
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 9: Brewing's our first stop from 12 to 1.30. Then we'll
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 9: be going down to Brink and ending up in Third
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 9: Eye in Sharonville.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 3: All right, so somebody's listening out there going, well, I'm
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 3: not going to participate in the Vets and Brews event. Actually,
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 3: I can go to any one of the bars along
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 3: the route at the given.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 9: Time and see what's going on.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 3: And that's what we're really hoping a lot of people do.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 10: Even if a veteran is around that wants to come
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 10: and get support and show.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: Some support, they literally will buy them beer too, even
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: though they're not on the bus.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's the thing. You don't have to be
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 3: on the bus to help out here or participate in
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 3: any way, shape, or form. Because there are a finite
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 3: number of seats on a school bus, whether it's one
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 3: or two, you've got a limited number. So how do
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 3: veterans sign up to get on the tour?
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 9: Yeah, we have a link on the website. I think
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 9: it's like an event button or upcoming or something like that,
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 9: but you'll see. Yeah, roll call. So it's a registration
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 9: for veterans. Anybody can sign up. Once we get all
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 9: of our sponsors together, we'll just start drawing names randomly
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 9: to see who can go. And you get to bring
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 9: a guest. It doesn't have to be a veteran. It
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 9: can be a civilian. So each veteran gets to bring
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 9: a guest with them, and we'll fill the seats up
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 9: and get it going.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 3: Now, can an individual just donate and be a sponsor?
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 3: Let's say you got $ 100 on you. It's like, here,
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 3: I want to be considered a sponsor.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 3: What's that net you?
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 9: What's that net?
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 3: Do you get on a T-shirt? Because I saw the T-shirts.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 3: You're going to print those up after you get the
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 3: sponsors together.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 9: Yeah, everybody, all of them get on a T-shirt. Depending
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 9: on the level that you're on, we have logos on
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 9: there and stuff. We'll send you a list of the
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 9: people that register. That way you have contact and you
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 9: can say thank you for your services.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 3: How many beers you bought over the years, guys?
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 9: Over 3,500 last time I counted, but it's been probably
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 9: six months. We're probably 4,000. You're over 4,000. 4,000, 4,500,
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 9: something like that.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 3: Update the site, man. It's hard to count that. 3,400.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 10: Those are rookie numbers.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 3: Someday it'll just say billions and billions. That'd be amazing.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 3: It's like the old McDonald's days. 10 million sold. That
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 3: was last week.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 9: We'll get a lot in this year because we have
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 9: three buses now, two cities. It's going to be nuts.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 3: Well, throughout the year, pivoting away just for a moment
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 3: here about the upcoming events, but throughout the year, you're
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 3: doing this. This is how you end up with 4,000
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 3: beers delivered. Do you just sort of keep your eyes
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 3: peeled when you're out and about at bars or do
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 3: people walk up to you and how does that work?
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 9: It's usually me walking up to them. I'll see a
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 9: hat on or some kind of shirt, maybe a tattoo,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 9: and I'll say, hey, are you a veteran? Or I'll
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 9: ask the bartender, do you have any veteran regulars here?
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 9: And they'll tell me and I go over and tell
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 9: them what I'm doing. They're usually like, Oh, man, it's okay.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 9: Don't buy me a beer. I was like, yeah, but
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 9: if I don't buy you the beer, I can't give
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 9: Patriots Landing the money. So you have to accept it's
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 9: already been purchased for you. It's donated.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 3: That's awesome.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: Listen, Matt's bald. He's tattooed. He's got a beard. A
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: lot of people don't walk up to him in a bar.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 4: That is true.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: So he's got to approach them.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 3: That is true. You have a slightly intimidated look about you, Matt.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 3: Got to be honest with you. You're the kind of
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 3: guy that guys like me need as a friend.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: He's a great friend.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 3: I got a buddy of mine, and back in his
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 3: younger days, and this can reveal something he's told me,
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 3: he used to do, shall we say, collections work for
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 3: some untoward organizations. Big guy, like 6'6, muscles out the yin-yang,
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 3: and we all partied up and put in bay one year.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 3: And some guy just walked up to me and started
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 3: mouthing off to me and trying to threaten me. Like,
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 3: I didn't do anything. This guy was just being a jerk.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 3: And I turned around and I said, hey, Jay. His
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 3: whole hulking figure turns around and the guy looks at him.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 3: He turned around and he tore off out of the bar.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 3: Jumped in the lake. Bodyguard. Don't go away. We've got
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 3: more to talk about with Vets and Brews. And plus,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 3: I'm going to press Dell on in light of the
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 3: fact that it's Friday and we're having some fun here
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 3: in the name of veterans on the beer diet. Don't
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 3: go away. It's 745 right now, 55 KRC, the talk station.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 3: 751-55-KRCD Talk Station. Brian Thomas here with the Vets and
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 3: Brews crew. We've got Dell. We've got Matt. We've got
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 3: a website, VetsAndBrews.com. And we've got a question mark. Who
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 3: in the hell are Vets and Brews, said the folks
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 3: in Columbus, when you put your foot in the door
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 3: up there because you're doing the two bus events here
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 3: in Cincinnati, Columbus. You mentioned the flyover. You mentioned the
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 3: critical point, the pinup girls are going to be there
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 3: taking pictures of the vets. But getting your foot in
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 3: the door and getting involved with this, there's a bar
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 3: out there that's going, wait a second, how come they're
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 3: not in my place? The repurposed flag box from Patriot's Landing.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 3: You've turned those into donations. So somebody could call you,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 3: a bar owner could call you and say, hey, we
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 3: need to get one of those donation boxes in our place.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 3: I'd like to help out.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 9: Yeah, those have slowed down. We're mostly doing QR codes
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 9: and stuff like that now.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 3: There's old man.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 9: Have cash on them. You know what I mean?
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 9: It goes lower and lower. But the QR codes, you
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 9: set those out, people will scan them all day. But, yeah,
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 9: we'll work with anybody, man. We want to spread the
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 9: word however we can.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 3: However you can. And I hope that the word is
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 3: spread far and wide. So get one of the donation
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 3: boxes or apparently the QR code. I don't QR code, man.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 3: It's like, you know, machete don't text. Brian, don't QR code.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 3: I hate those damn things. Anyway, let's go over to
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 3: talk about Dell. What's with the beard dye? This is hilarious.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 3: We only got a couple of minutes left anyway. This
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 3: I've never heard about this before, but I know you've
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 3: talked about it, but for many years you did this.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 10: Starting in 2019, I decided, you know, cause I'm, I'm
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 10: a beer guy through and through and I'm like, you know,
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 10: I want to be authentic. I want to make sure
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 10: when I talk about these styles of beers, like the
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 10: IPAs and the stories behind them and things like that,
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 10: you always talk about Lent and how these monks always,
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 10: you know, they only drank.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 3: Beer and they did it through Lent. Trappist monks.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 10: So I, one year I was like, you know, I'm
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 10: going to myth bust this. I'm going to do it myself.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 10: I think I can do it. I'd been fasting and
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 10: doing keto and stuff.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: So I was like, you know what? I think I
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: can do this. And I did it and it went viral.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 10: And now I've been on, you know, 500 feet, 500
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 10: shows in 50 different countries from, Jay Leno and Fallon to,
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 10: you know, the Today Show, and it's crazy.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, so give us an illustration of the start and
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 3: then the finish, because it sounds like drinking beer every
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 3: single day would be very fattening. Contrary is true, though. Absolutely.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 3: I started, I lost X number of pounds.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so typically I did it.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 10: For six years in a row, and I would say that,
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 10: you know, on average I lost like 45 pounds. So
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 10: it's only 46 days long, right? So Len is 46
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 10: days long. And so I'm almost losing a pound a day. So,
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 10: you know, but there's many days where I would have
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 10: like one or two beer. I wasn't getting drunk. I
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 10: wasn't sitting there and drinking, you know, constantly like stouts
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 10: in the morning, breakfast stouts and, you know, things like
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 10: that because it gets monotonous, man. You know, you could
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 10: try every beer style you can think of, but it just,
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 10: it doesn't satisfy you like food.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 3: Well, and I'll be honest with you, Even though it
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 3: involves food, I think the keto diet itself is monotonous
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 3: because I got to the point where it was like, okay,
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 3: I'm eating bacon again, or I'm eating more cheese. It's
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 3: always the same damn thing. There's only so much you
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 3: can do with it. And then you reach the point where,
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 3: and this is the important part I think about keto.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 3: Keto will help you lose the weight if you just
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 3: stick to it and you eat regularly. You get to
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 3: the point where you just don't want to eat anymore.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 3: Food is not appealing if it comes from that little
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 3: limited category. You're just saying beer in and of itself
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 3: is big and varied as all the beers are in
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 3: the world. Having access to all of them is still
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 3: a pain.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, I got extreme.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 10: I literally because I needed different textures. I would take
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 10: beer and freeze them into popsicles.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 10: Just to have something to kind of chew on because
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 10: you you you lose like, you know, there's no you're
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 10: not chewing anything. You're only drinking beer the whole time.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 10: So I would do crazy stuff like that.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: Warm it up and have drink it warm like a coffee,
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: like a stout. Like, I mean, it was crazy.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 9: I would fail at this because I have a couple beers.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 9: I want a slice of pizza.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: Well, you see?
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 3: That's what everybody always says.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 8: Right, yeah.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 3: I understand all that.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 9: What did you eat the first time when you're off
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 9: of it? Like, what's your first meal?
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 10: You have to really watch what you eat because you're
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 10: not processing food for that long. So literally, you could
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 10: just get rid of it. If you ate something, it
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 10: could stop up your intestines. It's really bad.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: It's called refeeding syndrome.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 10: So they learned about that during, like, the Holocaust and during, like,
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 10: prisoners of war, speaking to veterans.
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 3: I think it suffices to say if you're considering going
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 3: down this road, the road that Dell went down in
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 3: terms of the beer diet, have a conversation with your
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 3: physician before you do that.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: My doctor loves me.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 3: 755-55-CARES-CITY-TALK-STATION-VETS-AND-BRUISE.COM. Help them out in any way, shape, or form.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 3: Sponsor the event. Show up at any one of the bars.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 3: Try to get on the bus. There's a lottery for that,
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 3: but veterans sign up at the website so you're on
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 3: the bus, hopefully, and to the flyover. Oh, did I
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 3: mention Pin Up Girls?
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 3: I did bring that up. Fantastic.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 9: I'm going to send her this. She's going to love it.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 3: I wish you all the best, guys, and thanks for
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 3: your service to our country and ongoing service.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 9: Absolutely.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 3: It's 756-55-KRC-D Talk Station. Up at the top of the
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 3: air news, Magistrate Susan Lukin. Vote Lukin. We need her
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 3: on the juvenile court judge bench. Please vote Lucan. She'll
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 3: be on to join the program, and then we'll hear
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 3: from Jack Windsor from the Iowa Press Network at 8.30.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 3: I'll be right back. It's 8.05 at 55KRC, the talk station. Happy,
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 3: happy Friday. I hope you have great plans for the weekend.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 3: On the heels earlier of Judge Chris McDowell being in
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 3: the studio, I have on the phone probably the greatest
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 3: selection or choice she made, Magistrate Susan Lucan on the phone.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 3: Because Magistrate Lucan, honestly, if you're sitting across from the studio,
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 3: I'd probably get a little bit flustered, I'll be honest
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 3: with you. get over to Luke, Luke in for juvenile court.com.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 3: And every time I have you want to get a
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 3: text from my military retired military career, man, Steve, good morning.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 3: I know you're out there listening. He's a big fan
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 3: of yours too. Judge Luke at our magistrate. Luke, and
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 3: you're running for juvenile court. Judge McDowell, judge McDowell said, yeah,
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 3: we need to do something about the juvenile court justice system. Notably,
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 3: we need to replace judge bloom. This is an off
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 3: air conversation I had with him. I'm not revealing anything.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 3: He wouldn't say out loud since judges apparently are allowed
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 3: to issue endorsements now with, with some limitations, but, um,
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 3: Magistrate Bloom's a real problem for the juvenile court system,
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 3: and I note from a comment that he made, I've
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 3: heard this many times, the Juvenile Youth Center, isn't that
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 3: where these unruly, arrested juveniles are supposed to go after
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 3: the police pick them up?
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 11: That's correct, yes. Yeah, good morning, Brian.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Just thought I'd tear this morning. Magistrate Logan.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 3: But he described it as empty. I mean, can you
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 3: fill in the blanks on why that space is empty
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 3: and what is wrong right now that you on the
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 3: bench will correct, please?
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 11: So a lot of youth are taken there and they're
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 11: turned away. And so they don't stay. And very often,
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 11: even when they do stay, when they are detained, so
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 11: there's a list of offenses and the intake clerk can decide, hey,
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 11: we're not going to keep them. And even when they
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 11: do stay at that arraignment, very often they're not detained.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 11: And so that's one of the problems. And that's what's
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 11: called the revolving door. And what we're seeing is because
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 11: of this judicial policy or philosophy or ideology, even youth
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 11: who are picking up violent offenses, repeat offenses, offenses with
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 11: firearms now, and this is something that just didn't happen
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 11: when I was in juvenile court, they're not being held.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 11: And they're going out and they're picking up more serious charges. And,
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 11: you know, we've talked about this before. We see the
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 11: headlines and the kind of offenses that these youth are committing.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 11: are just outrageous.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 3: Well, I always try to make a defense for, and
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 3: I did this with Judge McDowell on getting, I used
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 3: to not believe in criminalizing drug use because that's self-abuse
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 3: and the state shouldn't have anything to do with what
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 3: we do to our own bodies. But now I've pivoted
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 3: from that because if you want to be compassionate and
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 3: if you want to do something, you need to intervene
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 3: in that addict's life and get them into treatment. By
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 3: offering treatment as an alternative to incarceration, I think they
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 3: get to clean up at least some people or at
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 3: least try Otherwise, they're going to be back on the
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 3: streets committing more crimes, get more drugs. So there's a
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 3: compassion level for involving people in the criminal justice system.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 3: And I think an easy parallel can be drawn that
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 3: with the juveniles who are out committing crimes at such
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 3: a young age. Obviously, they are in need of some
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 3: measure of rehabilitation.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 4: Right, right.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 11: And the purpose of the juvenile system is rehabilitation. But
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 11: you can't have rehabilitation without accountability. And that's what's missing
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 11: right now in the juvenile system is our consequences and
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 11: accountability issues. And you have to have some kind of
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 11: meaningful intervention. And that's what's missing in the system.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a sad thing.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 11: So Judge McDowell and I, we've been to events this week. And,
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 11: you know, we're on the campaign trail all the time,
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 11: along with Judge Leah Dinkalock, or my boss, Judge Ted Winkler. And,
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 11: you know, we've talked about some of the events that
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 11: have been happening recently. And it's just, it's mind boggling.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 11: And I think that we may have talked about this
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 11: the last time I was on the show, but But
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 11: it ought to be a wake-up call to everybody when
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 11: we have a major university like the University of Cincinnati
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 11: taking such drastic measures to shut down blocks at a
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 11: time just to keep students safe. And, you know, we've
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 11: seen what happened after that. You know, they did that
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 11: because of shootings. And after that, there was a double murder.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 11: A juvenile was charged with that. And then just recently...
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 11: We had that horrible incident where we've had now four
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 11: juveniles charged with aggravated robbery and that horrible incident where
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 11: that was videotaped. We can't even have students walking near
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 11: campus to go out to get a meal without fearing
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 11: for their safety. This is something that is just, to me,
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 11: has become a level of unacceptability. Our Cincinnati Enquirer came
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 11: out with an article saying that homicides are down. Clearly,
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 11: shootings aren't down. Clearly, juvenile violence isn't down. And I really,
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 11: truly believe that this is because juveniles in our community
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 11: understand that there are no consequences and there's no accountability
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 11: in the system. And that's a huge problem. And we've
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 11: talked about this before. That is not doing anything to
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 11: serve those youth.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 3: No, it's not, and that goes back to my compassion point.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 3: Sometimes even the idea of criminal justice, it sounds terrible.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 3: You can't subject this young person to the criminal justice system.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 3: They're going to get a record. It's going to be
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 3: a black spot or a stain on their record forever. No,
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 3: this is going to prevent them from becoming adult criminal
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 3: where their eyes get open. Assuming they're in front of
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 3: a judge who believes in being difficult on crime or
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 3: at least meeting out an appropriate punishment for whatever criminal
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 3: activity brought them into the criminal justice system as an adult,
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a lot worse than how they
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 3: were treated in the juvenile court system. So a bit
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 3: surprised probably they'll be when they become adults.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 11: You know, and this is having an effect far beyond.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 11: just what's going on in the juvenile system, too.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 4: Josh Gerth, who is the.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 11: Hamilton County Republican chair, was talking to some business owners
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 11: at the banks, and they had told him that they
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 11: have lost over... $ 50 million over the last couple of
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 11: years because of the general lawlessness and disorder that's going
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 11: on down at the banks. And a lot of that,
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 11: as you know, is being caused by some of the youth,
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 11: you know, some of the issues that are going on
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 11: surrounding that problem down at the banks. So this is
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 11: affecting our community in such a way, you know, just
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 11: beyond the way that it's affecting youth and families. It's
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 11: having a tremendous impact.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 3: It's got to have a tremendous impact. Magistrate Lukin, that
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 3: beatdown that we witnessed on video outside of UC up
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 3: on Short Vine was viewed by the nation. It made
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 3: headlines on national news outlets. Nice poster child for the
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 3: University of Cincinnati.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 11: I know, it's a double bear cat, right? Can you imagine?
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 11: I would struggle. I would struggle to send a child
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 11: to UC after that. I can't even imagine how that's
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 11: going to impact enrollment.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure it'll have a profound impact on enrollment.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 3: I certainly, you know, at this point in my life,
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 3: when I was a young man, I chose to go
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 3: to the University of Cincinnati. I think my parents were
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 3: very happy about that. They made no argument. And, of course,
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 3: since they were paying for college education, it was far
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 3: more affordable than some other school I might have chosen.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 3: But I wanted to go there. Never once, Magistrate Lucan,
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 3: did fear of being attacked, a victim being a victim
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 3: of a crime, ever cross my mind. I used to
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 3: walk across campus at 3 o'clock in the morning. Now, granted,
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 3: I'm a guy, but I'm not like 60. and 240 pounds.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 3: I'm a little guy. And none of my fraternity brothers,
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 3: none of the people I went to school with ever
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 3: were victims of crime. And nor do I remember any
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 3: of the women that I interacted with in college being
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 3: victims of crime. So I'm sure it happened, but it
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 3: wasn't well known if it did. Now, there's no way
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 3: in hell I would have chosen the universities. As good
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 3: as my education was for both undergrad and law school.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 11: And it's a fun university, but when we were there,
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 11: The university wasn't shutting down blocks at the time because
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 11: it couldn't keep students safe. And this needs to be
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 11: a wake-up call to everyone. No matter what the headlines
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 11: are in the Enquirer, when our major university is shutting
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 11: down blocks at a time because it can't keep students safe,
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 11: this needs to be a wake-up call to everybody that
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 11: there's a problem in our town.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 3: Now, is it your understanding that a lot of the
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 3: crime that we're hearing about around the University of Cincinnati
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 3: that have been experienced by the students there, are they
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 3: juveniles committing those crimes, or are they adults? Or both,
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 3: I presume.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 11: I think it's both, but the reality is that we've
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 11: had juveniles charged with some of the more serious crimes
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 11: that have happened around the university.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 3: Like gun possession of firearms.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 11: The double murder that happened just in August, that was
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 11: a juvenile that was charged with that. That juvenile was
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 11: also charged in connection with another double shooting that happened
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 11: in Coleraine Township.
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 3: Luke and Ford, juvenilecourt.com is where you can find all
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 3: about Judge Luke and why she definitely needs our vote
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 3: in November. Or do it today. Go ahead and early vote. See,
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 3: I did it. I reminded people. That's great.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 11: Early voting is up.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 3: Early voting is up.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 3: Get over there today. Get it done. And take a locker.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 3: And we can get on the list of all the
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 3: judges we should be looking for like McDowell.
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 8: And Winkler.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 3: Yep. And Winkler. Now, your background just makes you an
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 3: ideal candidate for the juvenile court bench. Why don't you
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 3: let my listeners know about your background and experience and
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 3: why you're so right for this job?
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 4: Sure, sure.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 11: So I'm currently a probate court magistrate. I do the
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 11: mental health docket. I do adoptions, which I love doing
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 11: the adoptions. I have to plug his name again. I
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 11: work for Judge Ralph Winkler. He's on the ballot this year, too.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 11: He's been a judge for a long time. He's our
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 11: adoption judge, does a great job. I was a juvenile
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 11: court magistrate in 2011 and in 2021. So I have
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 11: been on the bench as a magistrate for over five years,
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 11: almost six years. I have over 13 years of experience
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 11: also as a court administrator. That's really important because juvenile
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 11: court also runs a detention center and a clerk's office.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 11: They are supposed to open Hillcrest, which is a local
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 11: placement center in January. Juvenile court has almost a $ 40
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 11: million budget and 350 employees. It's really important. This race
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 11: is really important because there are two juvenile court judges.
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 11: I am running against a very liberal Democrat, a very
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 11: liberal judge who sets the policy for that court. as
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 11: the administrative judge, if we're victorious in November, and I
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 11: believe that we will be, we can really change the
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 11: course of juvenile court and juvenile crime in Hamilton County.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 11: The other judge right now is a Republican. We will
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 11: then have two Republican judges running juvenile court, and we
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 11: really can make a difference. I really appreciate your voter support,
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 11: your listener support, and the voter support.
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 3: Well, in terms of setting policy, that would also policy
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 3: regarding bail and probation as well. And I understand, like
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 3: I I'll say every single one, painting with a broad brush,
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 3: but the vast majority of juveniles under the Bloom administration
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 3: are just outright let out, just let out. They're just
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 3: processed and released, correct?
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 4: Correct, yes.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 11: So there's no bail. There's no bond in juvenile court.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 11: So juveniles are either detained or they're held, and they
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 11: could be released with some conditions such as electronic monitoring,
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 11: but there's no bail in juvenile court, or there's no
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 11: bail available for juveniles. And the administrative judge sets policies
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 11: for magistrates who make those determinations at those arraignment hearings.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 11: And that's why this is so important, because magistrates do
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 11: a lot of the work. And so that administrative judge
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 11: sets the policies for the court. And that's why, you know,
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 11: when you had a magistrate who told a juvenile, and
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 11: this comment was so outrageous, it made the paper, that
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 11: sometimes it's okay to run from the police. It's really
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 11: important to when you have an administrative judge who's setting
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 11: the policy and sort of the philosophy for the court,
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 11: that you have the right judge in place.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 3: That's downright nefarious, that recommendation to that juvenile. I'm in
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 3: a state of disbelief. I did not see that reported,
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 3: but then again, I can't stay on top of everything.
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 11: Yeah, that was a couple of years ago, and that
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 11: was understandably really upsetting to law enforcement because you can
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 11: just imagine how dangerous that is for both children and
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 11: for law enforcement.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 3: It seems to be the type of policy embraced by
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 3: the current administration. They're notably Judge Bloom, who we need
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 3: to get rid of and vote for Magistrate Lucan. Any
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 3: final parting words, why we need to vote for you,
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 3: other than the obvious, which you stated already? Any other
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 3: problems you've identified which are driving you to want this
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 3: particular position, Magistrate Lucan?
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 11: Yeah, there have been some problems with the diversion program, too,
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 11: or the unofficial docket. And law enforcement has really been,
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 11: I think, upset. Rightfully so about that. There have been
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 11: issues with cases involving firearms. When I was there as
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 11: a magistrate, all of those cases went to the judge's docket.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 11: When I'm elected, that will be happening again. Those more
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 11: serious cases need to go to the judge's docket instead
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 11: of being heard by magistrates. The unofficial docket or the
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 11: diversion docket, that process will become transparent and victims will
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 11: certainly have a voice.
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 2: Again in juvenile court.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 3: Unofficial docket? Where did that concept even come from?
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 11: So the unofficial docket is very similar to diversion. And
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 11: diversion absolutely has a place in juvenile court. First time, low-level,
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 11: nonviolent offenses. Everybody, you know, kids deserve a second chance.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 11: But you have to have victims and law enforcement also
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 11: have a voice.
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 2: In that process.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 11: And the process needs to be There needs to be
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 11: a policy and a procedure for that process that needs
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 11: to be understood. And there's a place for that. There
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 11: have been some issues surrounding that process and a lot
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 11: of questions about how that process is playing out and
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 11: the way that cases are being handled through that. There
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 11: have been some allegations about victims and law enforcement not
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 11: being part of that process. And then questions about repeat
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 11: offenders going through that process and about cases, what's been
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 11: happening with cases. And certain cases, including cases involving violent offenses,
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 11: being placed on that diversion docket and the appropriateness of that.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 11: So that's something that, if I'm elected, we'll take a
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 11: close look at.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 3: That's her. It's Judge or Magistrate Susan Lukin. And it's lukinforjuvenilecourt.com.
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 3: The website's there. Learn all about her, her background, why
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 3: she's so qualified, and maybe even help her out. It's
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 3: not too late to help you out, is it, Judge
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 3: or Magistrate Lukin?
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 4: No, not at all.
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 3: Donate.
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 11: Certainly not. Yeah, go to the website. We can definitely
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 11: use volunteers. And please vote. Vote all the way down
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 11: the ticket. You can vote early. You can vote the
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 11: day of election, whatever it is, whatever your preference is.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 11: But please go out and vote.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 3: You got my check, didn't you?
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 4: Yes, I did.
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 3: I'm just making sure.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, we did.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 11: Thank you.
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 3: See, I put my money where my mouth is. I'm
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 3: asking you to donate.
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 2: I did it.
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 9: Why not?
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 3: LukeandFordJuvenileCourt.com. I wish you all the best. If we don't
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 3: get a chance to talk, and you're welcome to come back,
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 3: Magistrate Luke, and I wish you all the best, and
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 3: can't encourage my listeners enough to cast a vote your way.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 4: I'd love to. Thanks, Brian.
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 2: 831-55-CARE-CD.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 3: Talk Station. Happy Friday. Let's begin this segment with Jack
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 3: Windsor from the Ohio Press Network with a prayer. Please,
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 3: dear God, do not let this Zoom conference collapse. Otherwise,
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 3: we'll lose contact with Jack Windsor. Jack, we all fly
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 3: by the seat of our pants when Strecker's out of town.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 3: That is not casting aspersions on Danny Gleason. I just
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 3: found out today, Jack, that Joe pays for the extra
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 3: upgrade for zoom, which allows you to do unlimited length calls.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 3: My employer, my employer does not pay for that service.
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 3: Draw your own conclusion. Jack Windsor. Welcome back to the
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 3: morning show. It's always great having you on and bookmark
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 3: the Ohio press network.com. Where are we coming out of
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 3: the gate on what topic, Jack?
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 7: Well, I'll tell you what, if you want, let's talk
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 7: about that CNN poll because CNN says Amy Acton is
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 7: up eight in Ohio and And if you don't look
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 7: at the polls methodology and check their sample, you might
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 7: be running around a little bit concerned today. And listeners
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 7: and their neighbors are going to hear Acton's up eight
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 7: and that could affect things. So if you want to
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 7: start there, let's start there.
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 3: Let's start there. And I can note, because I'm looking
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 3: at it, the post from the late September, the Suffolk
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 3: poll had Acton up nine points. So these back-to-back polls
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 3: that make it really look bad for Ramaswamy. So what's
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 3: the story on the CNN poll and shed some light
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 3: on it for us, Jack?
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 7: So Acton is up eight, Brown is up six. Now
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 7: there's 39 pages to that poll. So I dove in,
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 7: looked at the crosstabs, read the methodology. And what I
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 7: found out is about a third of the respondents never
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 7: came off a voter file. Uh, they came off what's
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 7: called an, called like an opt-in survey panel. So these
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 7: are the people that are politicos that, that are eager
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 7: and excited to take these, uh, surveys. And of course
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 7: they lean left. And the other issue is that, uh,
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 7: the weighting of the responses is affected by motivation. So
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 7: they tell you that in the cross tabs or they
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 7: tell you that in the description. And the report shows
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 7: that the most motivated respondents are Democrats. So they're oversampling
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 7: Democrats and then they're weighing Democrats' responses more than Republican responses.
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 7: And the margin of error is about four and a
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 7: half points. So that means that each candidate's number could
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 7: be off four and a half one direction, four and
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 7: a half the other. So it could be off a
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 7: total of nine. So when you look at that, eight
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 7: and six are in general within that margin of error.
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 7: And the other interesting point is that came out early yesterday.
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 7: And then later in the day, another poll came out
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 7: from Coefficient. And if you put CNN next to that one,
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 7: Coefficient screens likely voters which matters in this case. And
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 7: that actually has Ramaswamy up and Husted up. So voters
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 7: are going, wait a minute, how can we be off
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 7: that much? But those are two polls that dropped yesterday.
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 3: Now, do you scribe a nefarious intent to the way
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 3: they sample to bring about a result that has Amy
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 3: Acton up eight or nine points or whatever many points?
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 7: If I weren't a member of the press, I would go,
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 7: I don't know if that's the case. Being a member
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 7: of the press, absolutely. I do believe it. I believe
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 7: that they find ways to serve up information that serves
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 7: their ultimate purpose. And let's make no bones about it.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 7: CNN and all of the mainstream outlets certainly lean toward
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 7: the progressive candidates and movements. The interesting thing that they do, though,
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 7: is they show their work. And so If you're diligent
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 7: and you look at what comes along with the final
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 7: poll results, you can usually figure out, okay, here's how
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 7: they oversampled. So it's almost like they're going, yeah, we're
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 7: puffing it up a little bit, but we're going to
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 7: give you the full monty. That way you can do
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 7: your own work and figure it out. But Brian, you
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 7: and I both know most people don't read beyond the headlines.
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 7: And so I think it is a nefarious tactic.
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 3: Well, it is, and I'm sure there's some psychological profile
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 3: out there that says people are less inclined to go
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 3: vote if they see that the candidate they don't want
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 3: elected is winning or leading by a margin. Oh, what's
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 3: the point of getting up off your butt? I don't
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 3: share that perspective. I mean, my view is, damn it,
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 3: I am not going to allow that to happen. I'm
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 3: going to go out and vote and prevent this large
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 3: margin of victory. But the point I ultimately go back to,
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 3: There's always a post-mortem analysis of these polls. And we
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 3: even saw the one poll where they came out and
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 3: they admitted exactly cheated or they intentionally lied in the
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 3: polling results just to, I guess, see what happens as
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 3: some sort of weird experiment. But this takes all of
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 3: their credibility away, Jack. Now, if Houston wins by a
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 3: few or if Ramaswamy wins by a few or maybe 10,
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 3: and they're going to look back and say, how in
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 3: God's name could CNN get it so wrong unless they
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 3: were intentionally biased? I'm never paying attention to another damn
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 3: CNN poll again.
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 7: Well, and look, whether it's Suffolk, whether it's Marist, whether
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 7: it's CNN, whether it's New York Times, Siena, when you
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 7: look at Ohio, Brian, and I've been saying this a lot,
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 7: but we just have to keep repeating it. Look back
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 7: at 2018. Cordray was up three or four over DeWine
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 7: late in the fall. And of course, you know, there
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 7: was like a nine point swing. DeWine won that. I
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 7: think it was by four or six. And then in 2022,
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 7: same thing. Tim Ryan allegedly was leading J.D. Vance by
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 7: a few. Vance won by six. 2024, Sherrod Brown is
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 7: leading Bernie Marino by two, and then Bernie ends up
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 7: winning by almost four. So anywhere from six and a
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 7: half to about nine points is how these polls traditionally skew.
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 7: So if you just applied that historical set of facts,
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 7: you'd go, okay, so if Acton is up nine, it
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 7: might be tied. If Brown is up six, then maybe
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 7: Husted's up three. And then when you look at this
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 7: other poll, coefficient has Husted up 44, 43. and Ramaswamy
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 7: up 45-43. Just reading between the lines and analyzing this,
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 7: if I had to give you where I think this is,
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 7: I would say Husted's probably up three to four, and
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 7: Ramaswamy's maybe up three. Now, I've always said Ramaswamy's up five,
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 7: but I think Acton's tightening that race, but I think
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 7: Ramaswamy will pull away down the stretch.
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 3: Stick around for more with TheOhioPressNetwork.com's Jack Windsor. We've got
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 3: lots of things to talk about before the end of
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 3: the show. 841-555-KRCD Talk Station, TheOhioPressNetwork.com. Jack Windsor on the
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 3: show every Friday between 830 and the close. I appreciate
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 3: your thoughts and comments and insight there, Jack Windsor. I
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 3: know my listening audience does as well. What the hell's
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 3: with this John Kulowitz for Attorney General? The Cleveland paper
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 3: endorsed this guy.
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 7: Wait till you hear this.
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 3: So the plain dealer, right?
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 7: Cleveland plain dealer, their digital property is cleveland.com.
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 7: And by circulation, they are the state's largest newspaper. So
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 7: I want listeners to keep that in their minds.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 3: So they have 5,000 people subscribing. Well played. Well played.
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 7: Uh, John Kulowicz is the, uh, Democrat nominee for Ohio
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 7: attorney general attorney general. And, uh, Here's what's important about this.
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 7: He was endorsed by a group called CARE, C-A-R-E. CARE
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 7: is a designated terrorist organization in Florida and Texas. It
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 7: was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 7: Foundation Hamas funding case. Cleveland.com announced its endorsement of Kulawix.
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 7: And again, Kulawix was endorsed by CARE in the primary.
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 7: They announced the endorsement of Kulawix on October 7th. the
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 7: anniversary of Hamas's 2023 massacre of 1,200 people in Israel. So, Brian,
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 7: the question is, of 365 days, why the hell did
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 7: Cleveland.com pick October 7th to announce the endorsement of an
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 7: attorney general candidate that is backed by a group tied
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 7: to Hamas?
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 3: I'll let my listeners draw their own conclusions, but I'm
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 3: sure it's a conclusion we'll all draw together, Jack. I mean,
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 3: It's either complete lack of awareness or something extraordinarily nefarious. Well,
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 3: the Democrats are the party of anti-Semitism. We all know that,
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 3: don't we? Hasn't the memo gotten out, Jack?
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean, look, they're the party that fought to
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 7: preserve slavery. They're the party that established the Ku Klux Klan.
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 7: They are the party that wants you to think that
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 7: the radical Islamists are the oppressed and Israel and Jewish
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 7: people are the oppressors. And so, yes, they are anti-Semitic.
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 7: By the way, it's real interesting. The same newspaper back
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 7: during Ohio's COVID response, there was a state senator. He's
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 7: still a state senator. He's finishing his term out. Andrew Brenner,
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 7: his wife made some comment about Amy Acton requiring papers. Remember,
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 7: she said, I'd love to have immunity certificates to go
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 7: back to normal life. Well, his wife called that out
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 7: and he kind of retweeted it or republished it. Every newspaper,
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 7: including Cleveland.com, gave him flack and said that those comments
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 7: smacked of anti-Semitism. Well, here we are six years later,
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 7: and you have the same run-of-the-mill mainstream press endorsing a
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 7: guy that is endorsed by people tied to Hamas. You
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 7: can't make this stuff up.
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 3: No, you can't. And you can't really read it in
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 3: most places. As he pointed out, Cleveland.com gave the guy
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 3: an endorsement. That's why you need to bookmark the OhioPressNetwork.com
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 3: and find out what's really going on. 850 at 55K
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 3: or CD Talk Station. Happy Friday. Brian Thomas here with
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 3: Jack Windsor from the Ohio Press Network, again, at OhioPressNetwork.com. Hey, Jack,
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 3: it's early voting. You can go out and vote today.
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 4: Can't you, Jack? Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 3: I'm taking every opportunity at every turn. I can just
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 3: remind people we need to do this.
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 7: Yes, we do, for a couple of reasons. Number one,
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 7: if you're like me, I, you know, you have a
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 7: busy life and I know you do. And then we
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 7: also have kids. I have two bonus kids and my daughter.
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 7: So I have three kids. We're running all over the
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 7: place and it's not uncommon for something to come up.
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 7: And so if you wait until election day and things
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 7: go sideways, then maybe you miss the chance to vote. So,
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 7: vote early for that reason. Then the second reason is
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 7: these are close races. Again, I think Vivek Ramaswamy is
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 7: up a few. I think John Husted is up a
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 7: couple or a few. But at the end of the day,
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 7: people are still going to be knocking doors. They're still
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 7: going to be sending campaign material. So if you vote early,
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 7: they can check you off the list and then they
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 7: can go spend their time and resources with other people
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 7: who are still undecided or who have not yet gone
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 7: to the polls. So help out your team by voting early.
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 3: Well, and I don't want you to lie to the
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 3: listening audience. I really don't have a busy life, Jack.
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 3: It's kind of boring. Yeah. I, I, I do a
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 3: lot of naval contemplation to be quite honest with you. Anyway, Jack,
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 3: I didn't want to end on that particular topic. I
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 3: just threw it out there because I randomly remind people
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 3: that they can get out and vote. So what do
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 3: you want to conclude with topic wise?
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 7: Well, I, you know, we're going to write a story today.
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 7: I'll just give you a little teaser here. Uh, It
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 7: appears yesterday at the Statehouse, Auditor of State Keith Faber
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 7: was with U.S. Undersecretary of Education Kent, and they announced
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 7: a Jefferson County grand jury indictment. Three people in the
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 7: theft of roughly $ 20 million from Eastern Gateway Community College
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 7: there in Steubenville. Now, the school is defunct, and one
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 7: of the three is Michael Geoghegan of Cincinnati, Eastern Gateway's
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 7: former CFO. who became its president, nine felony counts. There's
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 7: aggravated theft over 1.5 million, theft in office, bribery, telecommunications fraud,
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 7: engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity. And really how
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 7: this worked is Pell Grants from eligible students were applied
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 7: across other students, including ineligible ones. And that's what triggered
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 7: this federal government to start questioning the college's participation in
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 7: the Pell Grant and other federal aid programs. And what
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 7: they uncovered is allegedly, got to be careful, over $ 20
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 7: million of inappropriate use of taxpayer dollars. And the sad
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 7: part is that school was intended for people who maybe
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 7: can't get out of the area to go to other
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 7: colleges or area folks who graduated high school and need
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 7: a degree. And that school is now gone.
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 3: That's a shame. When did this conduct start, this alleged
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 3: criminal activity start?
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a great question. So back in 2023, there
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 7: were indictments against two earlier administrators over roughly $ 43, 000 in
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 7: credit card misuse. Those charges were dismissed. This is a
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 7: separate racketeering case, 40 times the dollar amount, but it
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 7: was built with the Department of Education's program review. My
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 7: guess is, Brian, this probably came on the right about
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 7: that time. So looking back at 23, 24, and then
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 7: the school closed in 25. But I think this is
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 7: over a series of years.
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 3: Well, fraud is a real big topic for my listeners
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 3: and me. Governments rarely care a whit about how efficient
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 3: the taxpayer dollars are used, as we well know. But
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 3: we find that people are being ripped off. And how
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 3: easy it is to discover it, Jack, that's the thing
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 3: that I wanted to know. That's why I asked you,
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 3: how long was it going on until somebody up there
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 3: finally said, you know what, we've got to do an
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 3: investigation on this. Oh, wow, this was so easy to
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 3: perpetrate this fraud because of the way the system was
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 3: set up. Time to fix the system. Best practices across
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 3: the board, Jack.
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so here's what I'll say about that. A lot
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 7: of my pals in the press love to write about
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 7: the fact that Republicans have been in control for so
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 7: many years. Why are we just finding all this fraud now?
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 7: People need to understand an elected official is wholly different
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 7: than the administrative state. The administrative state generally is run
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 7: by people who tend to be on the left and
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 7: by people who are in public unions. And frankly, they
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 7: protect themselves. There's a ton of waste, fraud and abuse
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 7: going on. They just don't want to call the money back.
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 7: They don't want indictments because then they're hurting their fellow
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 7: union members, their friends that vote the same way that
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 7: they do. The reality is Ohio has gotten more serious
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 7: about this. And Vivek Ramaswamy said several months back, he's
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 7: going to continue to push waste, fraud, and abuse discoveries
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 7: in Ohio's Medicaid system. And he's actually working with the
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 7: federal government to make sure that Ohio would get 65
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 7: cents of every dollar it claws back. Right now, we
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 7: would get 35 cents. And his pitch to DC is, hey,
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 7: if you get 35 cents, that's better than 65 cents
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 7: because nobody's doing it now anyway. And so I think
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 7: that if we continue down the road of getting people
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 7: in key positions that want to prosecute waste, fraud, and
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 7: abuse and call back taxpayer dollars, I think we're on
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 7: a good path.
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 3: We're on a good path, a path to begin today.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 3: If you haven't voted yet, get out and vote. Jack Windsor, TheOhioPressNetwork.com.
