0:14
Speaker 2: Happy Friday, Will.
0:31
Speaker 1: There's a Luhu for Friday. Joe Strecker, executiveroducer, Internet research guru,
0:34
Speaker 1: all round great guy where he belongs in the executive
0:37
Speaker 1: producer booth. And thank you to Joe Strecker for all
0:40
Speaker 1: the work he does producing the fifty five Carsey Morning Show.
0:42
Speaker 1: My name's Brian Thomas. I am the host of the
0:44
Speaker 1: fifty five Case Morning Show.
0:45
Speaker 3: Like it or not.
0:47
Speaker 1: Just a quick word, do not curse on the fifty
0:50
Speaker 1: five Carse Morning Show if you call in or you
0:52
Speaker 1: are invited to call in this case maybe or you
0:54
Speaker 1: offered to come in and have an opportunity for equal time.
0:57
Speaker 1: Learned that yesterday. You know, there is one other person
0:59
Speaker 1: at least from for governor of the State of Ohio
1:01
Speaker 1: and kind of lost it yesterday. That was comical. You know, listen,
1:06
Speaker 1: I try to be nice to everybody. I do. I'm
1:10
Speaker 1: just looking for money, I'm just looking for truth, just
1:13
Speaker 1: looking for a debate, discussion, the exchange of thoughts and
1:17
Speaker 1: ideas about how best to run the state of Ohio.
1:21
Speaker 1: And it didn't happen yesterday. You aren't sure what I'm
1:24
Speaker 1: talking about, and apologies everybody who's trying to stream the
1:26
Speaker 1: audio yesterday through the iHeartMedia. We had a technical difficulty
1:30
Speaker 1: server issues or what crashes the the the the internet connection.
1:34
Speaker 1: Apparently it wasn't just fifty five KRC. So for the
1:37
Speaker 1: conspiracy theorists out there, no whoever crashed the server or
1:40
Speaker 1: whatever causes server to crash, it was not by all understanding,
1:44
Speaker 1: at least presently politically motivated anyhow. Five one three seven
1:49
Speaker 1: eight two three Talk time five fifty on AT and
1:51
Speaker 1: T phone. You care to call in fifty five krc
1:53
Speaker 1: dot com for the podcast? Yeah, right there, Gary Putsch,
1:57
Speaker 1: that's the guy we're talking about. Tanks his campaign. Nice
2:00
Speaker 1: nice heading for the podcast on that one. Sean gets
2:04
Speaker 1: credit for that. Sean McMahon covering for Joe gets that one.
2:07
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, Joe. It does have you a
2:08
Speaker 1: sort of a joke tracker ring to it. Anyway, if
2:11
Speaker 1: you want to hear the whole thing, and you've you
2:13
Speaker 1: put it up all the way up to where he
2:15
Speaker 1: cursed Joe. Oh, the curse word is in the podcast link,
2:23
Speaker 1: but it's garbled, so we don't violate the FCC rules.
2:27
Speaker 1: But for the people listening on terrestrial radio. And of course,
2:30
Speaker 1: since we weren't streaming at the time, my conversation with
2:33
Speaker 1: candidate Putsch ended because we have like a minute and
2:37
Speaker 1: a half delay, So if someone curses again, you can't
2:41
Speaker 1: do that. I have a dump button. I press that
2:43
Speaker 1: button and it deletes the minute plus conversation that preceded
2:49
Speaker 1: the curseword, So you didn't hear the whole dietry before
2:52
Speaker 1: he finally hung up. So now if you get a
2:54
Speaker 1: fifth you have caresey dot com. You can hear the
2:55
Speaker 1: entire discussion, including a garbled curseword, and then of course
2:59
Speaker 1: the end of the conversation. And I was just left
3:01
Speaker 1: reeling and I was in a state of disbelief, but
3:03
Speaker 1: also it was just wildly comical, wildly comical. That's what
3:11
Speaker 1: you get for taking a day off, exactly, Strecker. And again,
3:15
Speaker 1: my prayerful people out there, if you believe in the
3:19
Speaker 1: power prayer, please, please, please, please include Joe's father in
3:23
Speaker 1: your prayers. Struggling with some rather significant medical issues. I
3:26
Speaker 1: want to go into him, I have not, but I
3:27
Speaker 1: do feel for Jost Direcker. I know what he's going
3:30
Speaker 1: through on so many levels. I was just in his
3:32
Speaker 1: office talking to him, and it kind of made me
3:33
Speaker 1: have an allergy opera thinking of my dad. So please
3:36
Speaker 1: please please help out Jostetracker, and real quick to my
3:39
Speaker 1: wife who is listening. I promised her I would do this.
3:43
Speaker 1: And it does not relate to world affairs. It is
3:45
Speaker 1: not a matter of life and death, but it is
3:47
Speaker 1: a matter of etiquette and for my fellow dog lovers
3:50
Speaker 1: out there, and for my wife Paulette, pick up your
3:52
Speaker 1: damn dog poop. Yeah, I went there. Apparently, I guess
3:59
Speaker 1: people think if you're walking in the park and your
4:01
Speaker 1: dog poops, you're supposed to clean it up. There are
4:04
Speaker 1: signs everywhere, and in fact, the park where my wife
4:06
Speaker 1: takes a dog, they got free bags. Tax pair paid
4:09
Speaker 1: four bags put your damn poop into. They made it
4:11
Speaker 1: as easy as possible for you to pick up your
4:13
Speaker 1: damn dog poop. But when you get about a foot
4:15
Speaker 1: and a half of snow, I'm guessing the reason she
4:19
Speaker 1: saw and encountered so many piles of dog poop in
4:23
Speaker 1: the park is because people thought, well, I'll just scoop
4:25
Speaker 1: a little snow over the top of the poop. My
4:27
Speaker 1: dog just left there and walk away. I'm certain that
4:29
Speaker 1: that happened the snow melts man, and you're ultimately going
4:35
Speaker 1: to get all the dogs banned from the parks if
4:37
Speaker 1: you don't take care of yourself. Look, it's your excrement.
4:39
Speaker 1: I know it's not yours. That's your dogs, but you
4:41
Speaker 1: got an obligation to pick it up. So they do
4:43
Speaker 1: the right thing and pick it up. Now you may
4:45
Speaker 1: have to step in it. Maybe that'll teach you a
4:47
Speaker 1: lesson if you step in somebody else's dog poop and
4:49
Speaker 1: you'll curse and like, I can't believe. Yeah, you can believe,
4:51
Speaker 1: because you're the one that caused the problem as well.
4:54
Speaker 1: But there are children running around in parks, and you know,
4:56
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want my if I had a young child,
4:58
Speaker 1: you know, toddler running around trying I enjoy the park.
5:00
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want them to have feces all over them.
5:06
Speaker 1: Be responsible, skift dog owners a better reputation.
5:11
Speaker 3: There.
5:11
Speaker 1: I got it out of my system. Paulette, You're welcome.
5:15
Speaker 1: I think it was a worthwhile message anyhow, you heard it.
5:19
Speaker 1: Top of that, and it is these students walking out
5:21
Speaker 1: for protests, and I just really it just angers me
5:23
Speaker 1: to no end. Yes, because of the reason for the protest.
5:27
Speaker 1: But if they're out protesting I don't know, illegal immigration
5:30
Speaker 1: and open borders, I'd be equally insensed about it. How
5:34
Speaker 1: is it and why is it? They're being let out
5:35
Speaker 1: of classroom where they're supposed to be learning reading and
5:38
Speaker 1: arithmetic and other life skills. Are they allowed and encouraged
5:41
Speaker 1: by AH teachers to walk out? Teachers who are embracing
5:46
Speaker 1: and teachers who are encouraging to join in the walkout,
5:49
Speaker 1: teachers who are out within the walkout group protesting ice.
5:53
Speaker 1: Isn't that revealing? Obviously they have gotten very political to
5:57
Speaker 1: these teachers. Maybe it's what the unions want. Maybe it's
6:00
Speaker 1: not rage over I don't know Trump arrangement syndrome, but
6:02
Speaker 1: it's not learning at all. Kimberly Strassel, teachers' unions got desperate.
6:12
Speaker 1: Fast forward into the op ed piece. You can read
6:14
Speaker 1: it for yourself. And yeah, I'm relying on standing on
6:16
Speaker 1: the shoulders of giants does such a good job. And
6:18
Speaker 1: I turned over to there was a father who was
6:23
Speaker 1: showed up at a school board meeting. Seattle Times reporting
6:28
Speaker 1: on Vince Clowie. I just do this for get Distrassel
6:33
Speaker 1: found out his son was in one of these. Hell
6:35
Speaker 1: I guess. He showed up at the school, pulled his son,
6:37
Speaker 1: who was a seventh grade school a student at a
6:39
Speaker 1: Castle Cascade Middle School, and he pulled the kid out
6:44
Speaker 1: of the protest. And he was a little upset that
6:46
Speaker 1: the kid was out in the protest. He didn't know
6:47
Speaker 1: they were pulling him out of school for a protest.
6:49
Speaker 1: My name's Vince Clowe. On the afternoon of February second,
6:51
Speaker 1: my fourteen year old child called me. He was not
6:54
Speaker 1: at school, he was not sick. He was in the
6:56
Speaker 1: middle of White Center, Washington, in the middle of a
6:58
Speaker 1: protest that was organized for his middle school. Then he
7:05
Speaker 1: sites to the civil Code that's involved there OURCW twenty
7:08
Speaker 1: eight A six zero zero zero thirty five by allowing
7:11
Speaker 1: them children to leave and under initiative to twenty eighty one,
7:17
Speaker 1: the Parental Bill of Rights. Apparently it's a law there.
7:19
Speaker 1: I have the right to know where my child goes.
7:21
Speaker 1: That was taken from me. I was not given notice,
7:24
Speaker 1: I was not given an email. I was not given
7:25
Speaker 1: a call. You exposed him to real danger. That's neglect
7:28
Speaker 1: and that's endangerment. He did say he's going to file
7:30
Speaker 1: a lawsuit against the school for violating this particular provision
7:33
Speaker 1: by not giving him notice. He also outlined how the
7:37
Speaker 1: school's principal, Emily Feldtmos, had only informed parents of the
7:41
Speaker 1: protest after it took place. Sorry sucks to you, Emily.
7:44
Speaker 1: You need to give him notice ahead of time. Nobody
7:46
Speaker 1: informed me my child was going to enter a protest,
7:48
Speaker 1: he pointed out in other social media posts. So that's
7:51
Speaker 1: going on here now. He's put himself on the line
7:53
Speaker 1: because on social media people are attacking him and I
7:57
Speaker 1: guess threatening with death or whatever for staying there up
8:00
Speaker 1: to this wolk political ideology and this insanity and again
8:04
Speaker 1: moving away, and I wish I hadn't said Wolke political ideology,
8:07
Speaker 1: just getting people out of school, young people who are
8:09
Speaker 1: supposed to be learning, and putting them into protests. You know,
8:12
Speaker 1: you left wingers, you are plauding this and think it's
8:14
Speaker 1: great because of protesting ICE. What if they were out
8:16
Speaker 1: there well supporting ICE, you'd be pulling your hair out.
8:22
Speaker 1: Then back to Strassel. After decades, the swaggering political power
8:27
Speaker 1: of the lording it and lording of lording and older
8:30
Speaker 1: parents and legislatures, the education monopoly overplayed its hand during COVID,
8:35
Speaker 1: and the losses are piling up. The biggest governmental reform
8:39
Speaker 1: story in recent years has been the explosive growth of
8:42
Speaker 1: school choice. Thirty four states now off for vouchers, scholarships,
8:46
Speaker 1: or savings accounts, and nineteen of which have universal choice programs.
8:49
Speaker 1: At the federal level, savings accounts, nineteen of which have
8:52
Speaker 1: universal choice programs, I'm sorry. At the federal level, Trump
8:55
Speaker 1: breaking the stranglehold of the unions held over the Education
8:58
Speaker 1: Department money box. While new federal tax credits scholarship program
9:02
Speaker 1: will further fuel the choice movement, unions are losing their
9:06
Speaker 1: grip over local school boards. And I pivot over and
9:09
Speaker 1: I think this school choice thing may be a consequence of,
9:12
Speaker 1: among other things, how political teachers unions have gotten, and
9:15
Speaker 1: how politicized classroom teaching has become. You know, global warming
9:20
Speaker 1: is being taught as a religion in your class. We're
9:22
Speaker 1: supposed to not live in a theocracy, and yet they
9:24
Speaker 1: add is that's a theocracy. This woke ideology, the anti
9:29
Speaker 1: immigration sentiment, whatever, it's all being projected into the classroom.
9:32
Speaker 1: These are indoctrination camps and now it's pre k. Yeah,
9:35
Speaker 1: they're going to get your young people into classrooms as
9:37
Speaker 1: early as possible. Some of those little children come unto me,
9:39
Speaker 1: let me indoctrinate them into the woke ideology before they
9:42
Speaker 1: even have a concept of what they're hearing. She writes,
9:46
Speaker 1: that was me interjecting. Sorry, Kim Strasse, using your op
9:49
Speaker 1: ed piece as a mechanism for me to go on
9:51
Speaker 1: a tear where she had for the union bosses. They
9:54
Speaker 1: have lost the voting public and with it, their cast
9:58
Speaker 1: iron control over the Democrats party. Cooleera Governor Jared Polis
10:03
Speaker 1: recently announced he'll opt his state into the new federal
10:06
Speaker 1: tax credit scholarship program that followed us surrounded by North
10:09
Speaker 1: Carolina Governor Josh Stein, who loudly vetoed the GOP GOP
10:13
Speaker 1: bill requiring states to join the program, only to say
10:15
Speaker 1: quietly he intends to opt in anyway. Can you blame him?
10:20
Speaker 1: School choice is growing more politically powerful and popular by
10:24
Speaker 1: the day. Amen. Both men fear voter blowback from denying parents,
10:30
Speaker 1: denote provided scholarship money. Right the constituents?
10:34
Speaker 4: What it?
10:35
Speaker 3: Hey?
10:35
Speaker 1: How's that over here? The vast majority of the voting
10:39
Speaker 1: public over there sitting alone. The teachers' union who are
10:44
Speaker 1: losing membership more and more every day thanks to the
10:48
Speaker 1: Supreme Court saying you do not need to join a union.
10:51
Speaker 1: Only four Democratic governors have officially refused to take part
10:54
Speaker 1: in the federal program Hawaii, New Mexico, Oregon, Wisconsin. Number
10:58
Speaker 1: of the National Education Association and the American Federation of
11:01
Speaker 1: Teachers view in outright panic, especially as unions made opt
11:07
Speaker 1: out a litmus test of good democratic governance. That's an
11:11
Speaker 1: initial d on that Democrat, yes, the party. It's one
11:15
Speaker 1: thing for purple state governors to remain on the fence,
11:17
Speaker 1: but when even California, New York, and Illinois are debating
11:21
Speaker 1: whether to give their parents access to choice dollars in
11:24
Speaker 1: a nod to the danger of giving the GOP a
11:27
Speaker 1: wedge issue, the unions have a big problem. Hence they're
11:33
Speaker 1: increasing and increasingly nasty use of lawfare, attempting to impose
11:37
Speaker 1: via judicial decree what they can't win from voter a
11:40
Speaker 1: sentiment or with politics. And she mentioned several lawsuits that
11:44
Speaker 1: are pending, including here in Ohio, trying to argue that
11:48
Speaker 1: somehow the state constitution mandates that only the teachers' union
11:52
Speaker 1: controlled public schools are eligible for taxpayer dollars. Waiting for
11:57
Speaker 1: a definitive response ultimately probably from the Supreme Court on that.
12:02
Speaker 1: So just a little snippet from that. But isn't it
12:04
Speaker 1: a wonderful thing? So you have this growing wreck now
12:08
Speaker 1: recognize widely school choice movement, and it makes perfect sense
12:15
Speaker 1: that parents should be able to choose. I want to
12:17
Speaker 1: go to a public school. I would like to take
12:19
Speaker 1: the dollars and send them elsewhere. I want an alternative
12:22
Speaker 1: form of education like a Montessori school, because my kid,
12:25
Speaker 1: regardless of your financial abilities, can't study in a traditional
12:29
Speaker 1: school environment. It just doesn't work for me. And there
12:31
Speaker 1: are a lot of kids out there that need an
12:32
Speaker 1: alternative form of education. It just in order to understand
12:35
Speaker 1: and learn. It's not that they're dumb, they just need
12:39
Speaker 1: a different way. And one of my listeners called in
12:41
Speaker 1: started O an Monossori school has been dealing this for years. Yes,
12:44
Speaker 1: children need options, let's give it to them. Does that
12:48
Speaker 1: make sense? Yes, it does. And the Democrats are waking
12:50
Speaker 1: up to that. Sorry sucks to you teachers Union. You
12:52
Speaker 1: got too woke, you got too political, and you lost
12:55
Speaker 1: support as a consequence of it. Five eighteen fifty five

Speaker 1: It's a great one. It's always great Tech Friday. If
13:46
Speaker 1: there was only one guest on the program on a Friday,
13:48
Speaker 1: Tech Friday is the one I would choose. Not to
13:50
Speaker 1: discount the benefits of having Corey Bowman on the program,
13:53
Speaker 1: which he's going to be on at seven oh five
13:55
Speaker 1: Tech Friday. But Dave had a Google Virtual Assistant secretly
13:57
Speaker 1: recorded users, hidden price of clicks, and how fake banks
14:04
Speaker 1: exploit search and trust. Always interesting, always informative, and stuff
14:09
Speaker 1: that should probably scare you and make you very very
14:11
Speaker 1: cautious or cautious when you go out into the quote
14:14
Speaker 1: unquote digital world out there, Cory Bowman I mentioned seven
14:17

14:20
Speaker 1: it comes to voting and other registration, Yes, they are.
14:23
Speaker 1: And the Quarry Boman Podcast. Michael Sturbich for Secretary of State.
14:28
Speaker 1: He'll be in studio talking about his platform. Is Thehio
14:30
Speaker 1: GOP trying to get him to leave the race? Hmm? Hey, Joe,
14:38
Speaker 1: is Vive Ramaswami paying Marcel Marcel Sturbage. I got accused
14:44
Speaker 1: of being paid by VVK yesterday, so I thought that
14:46
Speaker 1: was funny. Joe, are you getting a check from vv Well,
14:52
Speaker 1: if you would if you produced his podcast at VIVE,

15:14
Speaker 1: this morning, beyond picking up dog poop in the park House,
15:17
Speaker 1: State professor assaults journalist another topic with Jack. I'm not
15:21
Speaker 1: even aware of that one, and what's with this. I'm
15:23
Speaker 1: looking forward to bringing this up from the Cory Bowman
15:25
Speaker 1: local story. Early in officials with three CEDC in downtown
15:31
Speaker 1: Cincinnati are starting a valet service in over the Rhine.
15:37
Speaker 1: I kid you not quarterly sin since I Center City
15:40

Speaker 1: initiative aims to deliver a smooth, hassle free experience for
15:52
Speaker 1: visitors by providing convenient parking seven days a week at

Speaker 1: a fixed rate of ten dollars. Valet service area drivers
16:00
Speaker 1: could drop off their vehicles at the Vine Street stations,
16:04
Speaker 1: but they can be brought back anywhere. They don't have
16:07
Speaker 1: to be brought back to the Vine Street station. Three

17:59
Speaker 1: work on the art Well. I wasn't even going to
18:00
Speaker 1: bring it up, but Strucker interjected a comment of my
18:03
Speaker 1: head set over the break about you know who's going
18:05
Speaker 1: to be driving your cars for this three CDC valet
18:09
Speaker 1: service question? Do they know how to drive a manual
18:12
Speaker 1: shift automobile? Tom, Welcome to the Morning Show. Happy Friday
18:17
Speaker 1: to you, my friend.
18:18
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm gonna go with no on that one because
18:23
Speaker 7: because really the percentage of drivers out there that know
18:27
Speaker 7: how to drive a manual shift anymore is decreasing by
18:30
Speaker 7: the day. Right now, thanks for a minute, since I
18:35
Speaker 7: says I did it and you don't want me get
18:37
Speaker 7: behind and wheel your cars.
18:39
Speaker 1: So I remember back in the day, at one point
18:43
Speaker 1: in my life was right after nine to eleven and
18:46
Speaker 1: zero percent financing for autos came out because the economy
18:49
Speaker 1: was in the toilet, and they I bought a Ford
18:51
Speaker 1: Mustang Cobras a two thousand and one set cover, and
18:54
Speaker 1: I always wanted a quote unquote muscle car. But compared
18:56
Speaker 1: to modern cars, that thing was a wimp. But I
18:59
Speaker 1: had a special It was like a Stage two clutch
19:02
Speaker 1: put in and I did a whole bunch of work
19:04
Speaker 1: on it. And you know, you had to know how
19:05
Speaker 1: to properly feather that clutch to get the thing to
19:07
Speaker 1: launch properly. I pulled into a restaurant and I told
19:11
Speaker 1: him about it. He just looked at He goes, why
19:13
Speaker 1: don't you just pull it right there, literally like fifteen
19:16
Speaker 1: feet from the front door of the restaurant. He had
19:19
Speaker 1: a special area. I said, okay, pulled it right there.
19:21
Speaker 1: I got rockstar parking because my car was manual. Anyway,
19:24
Speaker 1: go ahead.
19:27
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a lost art, that's for sure. You your
19:31
Speaker 7: confide you brought up today basically comes down to freedom,
19:36
Speaker 7: and specifically it comes down to nobody wants to be
19:40
Speaker 7: told what to do. So when you get the right
19:44
Speaker 7: to make your own decisions, nobody I don't. It doesn't
19:47
Speaker 7: matter what side of the aisle you're on, Nobody wants
19:50
Speaker 7: to be told what to do. Now, we put ourselves
19:53
Speaker 7: voluntarily in situations where we give people authority over us.
19:59
Speaker 7: You know, if we get a job, we have a boss,
20:04
Speaker 7: and you've got to you've got to do what you're
20:05
Speaker 7: told there to to you know, a large extent, you
20:08
Speaker 7: have to do what you're told as far as your
20:09
Speaker 7: job is concerned. So when you do it voluntarily, you're
20:12
Speaker 7: getting paid for it. You're getting compensated. Okay, I'm willing
20:15
Speaker 7: to take that trade the trade off, right, there's a
20:18
Speaker 7: trade off there. You're getting money for it. But when
20:21
Speaker 7: you have a child and it's written in the law
20:24
Speaker 7: that not only are you completely responsible for that child,
20:28
Speaker 7: but you have full authority over that child, it doesn't
20:31
Speaker 7: matter if you're a slacker or if you're a full
20:35
Speaker 7: engaged parent, it doesn't matter. You don't want anybody telling
20:39
Speaker 7: you what you can and cannot do with that child.
20:42
Speaker 7: You don't want anyone overstepping your authority. And I think
20:46
Speaker 7: that's why this this school choice thing is so widely popular,
20:50
Speaker 7: because it's a choice that I have as a parent
20:54
Speaker 7: who I have total control over this child. You're gonna
20:57
Speaker 7: make me pay for everything for this kid, So, by god,
20:59
Speaker 7: you are not gonna tell me what I can and
21:01
Speaker 7: cannot do with a child. And for those people to
21:04
Speaker 7: take my kid out of school, I mean, if I
21:07
Speaker 7: took my kid out of school.
21:08
Speaker 4: I better have a damn good reason, right.
21:10
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're taking my kid out of school, and you're
21:14
Speaker 7: not letting me know that that child is not where
21:17
Speaker 7: I think that child is supposed to be. What if
21:19
Speaker 7: I had emergency, What if I needed to get to
21:22
Speaker 7: my kid? Oh, not here, he's down at wherever protesting?
21:26
Speaker 1: What right?
21:28
Speaker 7: You have severely crossed the line.
21:31
Speaker 1: Oh and putting them at harm's way. And let's not
21:35
Speaker 1: forget you know, there are crazy lunatics out there that
21:37
Speaker 1: are willing to drive a van through people protesting on
21:40
Speaker 1: the streets. You have removed them from the otherwise safe
21:43
Speaker 1: classroom and put them out next to the road where
21:45
Speaker 1: they're protesting and crazy people. Well, there might be an accident.
21:48
Speaker 1: I'm just throwing it out there as a possibility.
21:50
Speaker 7: It can happen. Hey, they had to transport to kids somewhere.
21:53
Speaker 7: Even if there's nothing the farious going on, the traffic,
21:56
Speaker 7: accident can happen. There's all kinds of things that can happen.
22:00
Speaker 7: So no, you don't have the right to do that.
22:02
Speaker 7: That is my child and I mean, I keep thinking that.
22:06
Speaker 7: You know, there's there's parents that that we would we
22:09
Speaker 7: would look at all the decisions that they make or
22:11
Speaker 7: don't make or whatever, and how much time they spend
22:14
Speaker 7: with their kids, and and we would might say, you
22:16
Speaker 7: know what, you don't take enough interest in your kid's life.
22:19
Speaker 7: You just go through the bare minimum at that. But
22:23
Speaker 7: even those parents, if you were to step in and
22:26
Speaker 7: tell them what to do, oh no, you're not. That's
22:29
Speaker 7: my kid. You're not telling me what to do. You're
22:32
Speaker 7: not telling my child what to do. I'll tell my
22:35
Speaker 7: child what to do. You go through me. That's a
22:38
Speaker 7: that's a right that we have, Thank god, it's written
22:40
Speaker 7: in our laws, and we got to stand up to it.
22:43
Speaker 7: And these Democrats are just trying to trample all over
22:46
Speaker 7: things and then excuse us to trample it over the law.
22:49
Speaker 7: I'm on the conservative side now, I don't think so
22:52
Speaker 7: that's that is all right. You don't tell us how
22:54
Speaker 7: to raise our children or what to do with our kids.
22:57
Speaker 4: Uh what?
22:57
Speaker 7: What? What I would advise everybody is, don't vote Democrat.
23:01
Speaker 7: Have a great day.
23:01
Speaker 6: Bright there.
23:02
Speaker 1: It is Tom's catchphrase. Five thirty five fifty five KR
23:06
Speaker 1: City Talk station coming up look, I got some steps
23:09
Speaker 1: talk station. Can you play John the Fisherman Friday? At
23:14
Speaker 1: Of course one listener at least is happy about that.
23:19
Speaker 1: In addition to Joe Strecker's good Primus fan Jeffrey good Morning,
23:23
Speaker 1: he does a countdown for this little pump Hey, whatever
23:27
Speaker 1: makes you happy? W and a shout out to Keith
23:45
Speaker 1: with regard to the school protest. Keith just sent me
23:47
Speaker 1: an email. One of our local schools had a student
23:49
Speaker 1: walkout last week. School has sixteen hundred plus students. One
23:53
Speaker 1: hundred or less walked out. Local media covered it and
23:56
Speaker 1: still covering it like they cured cancer. A friend is
23:59
Speaker 1: a child the school. He told his dad there were
24:01
Speaker 1: hundreds of students inside mocking them for walking out. See
24:05
Speaker 1: there's the other side of the story. I'm gonna take
24:06
Speaker 1: Keith in his word. I can only guess that he's
24:09
Speaker 1: telling the truth. But even if he isn't. Just because
24:13
Speaker 1: people are protesting doesn't mean it represents the will of
24:16
Speaker 1: the people. How many times I gotta make the point.
24:18
Speaker 1: You got three hundred and fifty million people in the
24:20
Speaker 1: United States of America. You post something that people are
24:22
Speaker 1: going to be protesting fill in the blank for any
24:24
Speaker 1: reason why you're going to get a couple one hundred
24:26
Speaker 1: people prouted to show up. It'll be widely reported as
24:29
Speaker 1: representative of the outrage expressed by the voter public at large.
24:34
Speaker 1: Don't believe it. Otis stacker stupid as this tradition. Former
24:41
Speaker 1: Oregon County Fair volunteer who secretly filmed more than a
24:44
Speaker 1: dozen naked people in a communal shower at the fairgrounds,
24:48
Speaker 1: including a girl under the age of ten. It's pleaded
24:52
Speaker 1: guilty to first degree invasion of price. According to the
24:54
Speaker 1: court records, Elijah David Russo, thirty one, sentenced to allows
24:57
Speaker 1: you two weeks in prison along with three years of
24:59
Speaker 1: prob after pleating guilty to the court, and the court
25:02
Speaker 1: records reflect this. Circuit Court Judge Clara rig Maiden, you
25:08
Speaker 1: shouldn't invade people's privacy like that. Okay, that was a
25:13
Speaker 1: pretty ugly thing to do. You know, people are they're
25:15
Speaker 1: trusting other people to be in that environment, and you
25:18
Speaker 1: violated that trust, say a judge dating the obvious. Anyway,
25:21
Speaker 1: she used a court order barring him from the County
25:23
Speaker 1: Fair for the next three years as well. His defense
25:26
Speaker 1: attorney told the court there were certainly intoxicants on board
25:30
Speaker 1: at the time in Djol. According to Russo, he said
25:34
Speaker 1: in the comment, I'm just extremely apologetic and remorseful for
25:37
Speaker 1: my actions. I just want to continue the path of
25:39
Speaker 1: being sober and getting my life kind of figured out,
25:42
Speaker 1: sort of kind of figured out anyway. This three months
25:48
Speaker 1: after he stashed his phone in a modified basket he
25:50
Speaker 1: was holding at a volunteers only event, turned the video
25:53
Speaker 1: on lingered in the communal shower at the fair grounds
25:58
Speaker 1: thirty minutes. Loitering in the shower was filming as many
26:00
Speaker 1: as twenty naked people until someone caught on that he
26:03
Speaker 1: was doing that. They called the Lank County Sheriff's office,
26:05
Speaker 1: and he told deputies at the time that he hadn't
26:07
Speaker 1: thought of doing it prior to doing it. He didn't
26:11
Speaker 1: plan it ahead of time, claiming he was motivated by curiosity,
26:16
Speaker 1: eventually admitting that there could have been an element of
26:20
Speaker 1: arousal close quote phrasing, there was an element of arousal.
26:25
Speaker 1: Joe oh iHeart mediavation. Next for Jay Ratle was on yesterday,
26:31
Speaker 1: we didn't have this story in the stack. Crazy things
26:35
Speaker 1: going on in airpanes, airplanes, air Asia, flight cameras rolling
26:39
Speaker 1: when a man started getting agitated during the flight, and
26:44
Speaker 1: they continued to film him when he tried to jump
26:46
Speaker 1: out of the airplane and evate authorities while naked. Why
26:50
Speaker 1: are you doing that? Like from Vietnam to Thailand. Passengers
26:53
Speaker 1: couldn't help but notice that something was going wrong the man.
26:55
Speaker 1: Unnamed man became agitated during the flight. Man got out
27:01
Speaker 1: of his seat, courted witnesses pcing the aisle before stripping
27:04
Speaker 1: down to his boxes shorts. I'm one person. I've flown hundreds,
27:07
Speaker 1: if not thousands of times. I've never encountered anything like this. Yeah,
27:10
Speaker 1: flag Trew tried to get him return of his seat,
27:12
Speaker 1: he became more agitated. Someone's claimed they could smell alcohol
27:17
Speaker 1: on the man from where he sat. As his tradition
27:21
Speaker 1: plane finally landed, passenger continued to pace around until he's
27:23
Speaker 1: able to push through an open door, jumping onto the
27:25
Speaker 1: stair truck before tumbling down the steps, all of course
27:30
Speaker 1: captured on video that went viral.
27:33
Speaker 5: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.
27:36
Speaker 1: And drugs are bad. Joe women in northern Iowa pleaded
27:44

Speaker 1: slapped the customers store employee with her bloody hands. Please department,
28:10
Speaker 1: why are you doing that? They had to dispose of
28:16
Speaker 1: all the consumables and product packages that got covered with
28:18
Speaker 1: her blood. Apparently because of the amount of blood on
28:21
Speaker 1: the products, food machines, and the amount of blood around
28:24
Speaker 1: the store was too much for the store's crew. They
28:26

Speaker 1: cleaning room cleaning crew. Damages estimated to be one hundred
28:32
Speaker 1: thousand dollars do what the hell? Police letter dispatch at

29:59
Speaker 1: cancer sucks. We all I agree on that. Let's get
30:01
Speaker 1: a unifying principle we can all embrace and hold on
30:04
Speaker 1: to cancer sucks. Former New Orleans All Girls Catholic School
30:08
Speaker 1: accused of having a month long sexual relationship with a student.
30:11
Speaker 1: This is a teacher, of course, Why are you doing that? Mom?
30:14
Speaker 1: And the alleged victim reportedly discovered a purported illicit relationship
30:17
Speaker 1: after her daughter's behavior. Change to pay attention to that
30:20
Speaker 1: kind of thing. Twenty nine year old Teddy Page biology
30:23
Speaker 1: teacher the Academy of Sacred Heart until being terminated after
30:26
Speaker 1: this was revealed. Accord to school, but our school became
30:31
Speaker 1: aware of a recent concern about one of our employees.
30:33
Speaker 1: We took the matter very seriously and immediately followed our
30:35
Speaker 1: safety protocols. Arrest did charge with prohibited sexual conduct between
30:39
Speaker 1: an educator and a student, misdemeanor under Louisiana law. Dire
30:43
Speaker 1: record indicate he was booked and was out of custody
30:46
Speaker 1: on a fifteen thousand dollars bond. Relationships started last August.
30:52
Speaker 1: Please say the during classroom introductions, then seventeen year old
30:57
Speaker 1: student told investigators she felt a spark between herself and Page.
31:04
Speaker 1: They then engage in a personal and intimate that's in
31:07
Speaker 1: quote conversation for the next couple of months. When the
31:10
Speaker 1: student finally turned age eighteen, Page kissed and had sex
31:13
Speaker 1: with a victim at her apartment in the victim's vehicle.
31:17
Speaker 1: Statment from Academy of Stacred Heart said, when our school
31:20
Speaker 1: became aware, I just read that statement. Sorry about that.
31:22
Speaker 1: Page terminated, escorted off a campus. School said that his
31:27
Speaker 1: references and background check were favorable and that there were
31:30
Speaker 1: no red flags when he was hired. No comment from
31:34
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Police Department on that one. All right,
31:37
Speaker 1: can you turn your cell phone off at night? This
31:39
Speaker 1: is like, this is a two full thing. So it's
31:41
Speaker 1: tech Frida with Dave Hatter. I always turn my phone
31:43
Speaker 1: off at night. Now, I don't have little kids out
31:44
Speaker 1: in the world. I don't need to worry about that.
31:46
Speaker 1: But you know, you can call block. You don't have
31:49
Speaker 1: to get a notice, like if a number keeps dialing
31:51
Speaker 1: you and you don't want to be dialed by that
31:53
Speaker 1: because you need your phone in the middle of the
31:54
Speaker 1: night and someone keeps well, just block the number, don't
31:56
Speaker 1: get a notification. I've done that many times with different numbers. Anyway,
32:00
Speaker 1: Elijah Carthy woken up multiple times in a night. She
32:05
Speaker 1: claims she needed receipt she works long hours. Well, if
32:08
Speaker 1: she's an artist of some sort, she's touring. She also
32:11
Speaker 1: cares for eighty four year old father, legendary Folks singer
32:16
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five Mercury Prize nominee. That's her father.
32:24
Speaker 1: Messages coming in overnight, often in the early hours of
32:27
Speaker 1: the morning. What started as a friendly conversation over Facebook
32:31
Speaker 1: between performers, because the guy who's ringing her up multiple
32:34
Speaker 1: times in the middle of the night is also a
32:36
Speaker 1: world renowned artist. Apparently, according to the woman who received
32:40
Speaker 1: these texts, they were gross. He would send reams and
32:43
Speaker 1: reams and reams of pictures of himself naked and videos
32:47
Speaker 1: of himself and I'll substitute the word the M word
32:50
Speaker 1: pleasuring himself, she said. Sometimes he would delete them, sometimes
32:54
Speaker 1: he wouldn't, and then intersperse that and would be videos
32:56
Speaker 1: himself playing at the Albert Hall the guy What the hell?
33:01
Speaker 1: Forty six year old Ben Gunnery, described as a successful
33:04
Speaker 1: viole winis from Vauxhall, London who's performed all over the world.
33:07
Speaker 1: He was given a twelve month sentence for two years
33:09
Speaker 1: on Monday after admitting to sending the message of his
33:11
Speaker 1: genitals to the singer and another woman with the intention
33:14
Speaker 1: of causing distress or humiliation. BBC Investigation said after six
33:20
Speaker 1: more women came forward to say they had been targeted
33:22
Speaker 1: by Gunnery, that is reason why the law enforcement agents
33:25
Speaker 1: got involved. He began complimenting her musical talents. The pair
33:29
Speaker 1: exchanged a few messages and then suddenly he began bombarding
33:32
Speaker 1: her with explicit pictures and videos. She said it included
33:38
Speaker 1: hundreds of videos of him pleasuring himself. Do what the
33:45
Speaker 1: hell said? I couldn't turn my phone off. I'm a
33:47
Speaker 1: single parent in care of my dad, but you can
33:50
Speaker 1: block the number. Court heard how Gunnery also sent her
33:54
Speaker 1: videos of himself having sex with other women who appeared
33:57
Speaker 1: to be unaware they were being filmed, and she said
34:05
Speaker 1: she did She didn't pursue prosecution, said it had a
34:07
Speaker 1: huge huge effect on her work as a singer after
34:10
Speaker 1: people turned against her for calling him out for this behavior. Why,
34:15
Speaker 1: I guess because he's an internationally resound renowned violinist, so
34:18
Speaker 1: you're gonna be on his side. This is why I
34:22
Speaker 1: ignore social media comments. He'd been previously convicted in twenty
34:25
Speaker 1: twenty three sentence to a community rehab order for sending
34:28
Speaker 1: indecent images to a woman he met at work. He's
34:30
Speaker 1: a recidivist. July last year, convicted for a second time
34:33
Speaker 1: for intentionally sending images to cause harm and distress and humiliation.
34:38
Speaker 1: People are man, What more can I say? I think
34:42
Speaker 1: that article speaks volumes on a lot of levels. Tom
34:45
Speaker 1: twos Friday, Have you Friday, Brian? How much right you're
34:47
Speaker 1: glad to be glad to see just treker worry belong?
34:50
Speaker 1: Coming up Tech Friday with Dave Hatter every Friday six
34:52
Speaker 1: thirty interest I teach Dave Hatter Google Virtual Assistant is
34:56
Speaker 1: spying on you secretly recording users. That's one of the topic.
34:59
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman for Mayor Kennedy. Corey Bowman returns to the program.
35:02
Speaker 1: He's got a great podcast, Corey Bowman Podcast, and he
35:05
Speaker 1: lives in the city. He works in the city. His
35:07
Speaker 1: business is there West End. Notably problematic with crime and
35:10
Speaker 1: ever the things. Well, Corey has some great insight on
35:12
Speaker 1: the realities of downtown issues. I'm going to ask him
35:15
Speaker 1: about the valet service that three CDC's launching to help people,
35:18
Speaker 1: I guess get to the entertainment districts. Marcel or Marcel Sturbiche,
35:23
Speaker 1: he's running for secretary of Ohio State of b in
35:25
Speaker 1: Studio eight oh five, followed by Jack Winsor at eight thirty,
35:27
Speaker 1: editor in chief of the Isio Press Network, about students
35:29
Speaker 1: skipping school to protest and a house state professor assaulting
35:34
Speaker 1: journalist over the phones we go. I got Tom and
35:36
Speaker 1: Dave on the phone. Tom was kind of enough to
35:38
Speaker 1: hold over the break. You can feel free to call
35:39
Speaker 1: it too if you got something five on three seven
35:41
Speaker 1: nine fifty eight hundred and eight two three talk Tom,
35:43
Speaker 1: Thanks for holding. Welcome to the show.
35:45
Speaker 8: Yeah, more than Bryant. So Tom number one that was
35:49
Speaker 8: on this morning. I think he makes ten times more
35:52
Speaker 8: sense than Judge and Matanos was in ten minutes worse.
35:56
Speaker 8: That's number one statement.
35:58
Speaker 1: Feel free to have your own opinion. That's cool.
36:02
Speaker 8: Tom is right on target every single morning.
36:05
Speaker 1: So Democrat pretty much sums it up. That's okay with me,
36:08
Speaker 1: go ahead. What else do on you mind? Tom?
36:09
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, So on Houseville nine twenty. That's the property
36:13
Speaker 8: tax restructuring for Ohio. In Ohio, we're paying thirteen point
36:17
Speaker 8: six billion to fund these schools, and we're paying these
36:21
Speaker 8: teachers pension plans, time off in the summer. We're building
36:25
Speaker 8: buildings out like you know, Fort Knox to protect these
36:28
Speaker 8: kids inside the classrooms from you know, people trying to
36:32
Speaker 8: get in and kill them. Up in the Trans County
36:38
Speaker 8: country of Canada, they just had a boy yesterday at
36:40
Speaker 8: Trans He had killed nine people, his mom, his brother,
36:44
Speaker 8: his teacher, and a bunch of other students. If our
36:50
Speaker 8: kids were outside out on the street, there's no protection forms.
36:53
Speaker 1: So that's true.
36:55
Speaker 8: If we maybe have that bill nine twenty pass and
36:58
Speaker 8: there's less money going to the pl schools and I
37:00
Speaker 8: might maybe going to these monitory schools and Catholic schools,
37:04
Speaker 8: we'd have less of these kids protests now on the street.
37:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, any other form of school. I'm all about choice.
37:09
Speaker 1: You can send your kid to a Muslim school if
37:11
Speaker 1: you want. I don't care. It's your kids got a
37:13
Speaker 1: right to do that. We don't live in a theocracy.
37:15
Speaker 1: Give us a choice, appreciate the call me man, and
37:17
Speaker 1: everybody's in title their own opinions. I disagree with you.
37:20
Speaker 1: I think Napolitano offers some unique insight and does study
37:23
Speaker 1: the Constitution, and he is a strict constitutionalist. Sometimes it's
37:28
Speaker 1: tough to be that way. That's where expedience tends to
37:31
Speaker 1: rule out over what the law says. Dave, Welcome to
37:33
Speaker 1: the show. Thanks for calling in this morning. Happy Friday.
37:37
Speaker 9: Good morning, Brian, Happy Friday to you.
37:39
Speaker 1: Thank you.
37:40
Speaker 9: Yeah, I just notice your unbiased Top of the hour news.
37:43
Speaker 9: They got to going on there free guys, and I
37:46
Speaker 9: was wondering what the point was and telling us what
37:48
Speaker 9: the sign said that the kids what they're protesting with,
37:51
Speaker 9: and if those signs were actually made by the kids
37:54
Speaker 9: or where they preprinted for for them. Yeah, but hey, way,
38:01
Speaker 9: the best thing I ever did was getting my daughter
38:02
Speaker 9: out of public schools when she was in third grade.
38:04
Speaker 9: I found out about the Edge Choice program and I
38:07
Speaker 9: got her into Catholic school and it is the best
38:09
Speaker 9: thing I ever did.
38:10
Speaker 1: For that's great that I'm glad it's working out for you.
38:13
Speaker 1: You know, I get that was your choice. It isn't
38:17
Speaker 1: it a wonderful thing to have it, Lord Almighty.
38:19
Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly. And Lord knows only knows why they why
38:24
Speaker 9: anybody would be against it, even the teachers unions. I
38:27
Speaker 9: can't understand. Yeah, I just can't understand. I know it's
38:30
Speaker 9: personal money raisings.
38:32
Speaker 5: What's money?
38:33
Speaker 1: Money and control? Remember that ideology. Not all people that
38:37
Speaker 1: are in the teacher's unions share the left wing ideology,
38:39
Speaker 1: but for so many of them it is maybe a
38:41
Speaker 1: motivating factor to become a teacher. I am a far left, dedicated,
38:45
Speaker 1: committed Marxist slash communist socialist. Whatever. I hate the United
38:49
Speaker 1: States of America. What's the best thing I can do
38:51
Speaker 1: with my woke ideology? Confirmed in my college courses that
38:55
Speaker 1: I'm right? What can I do? I can become a teacher.
38:58
Speaker 1: I can teach the children. I can be there influencing
39:01
Speaker 1: their little minds, become a good socialist like me. Do
39:03
Speaker 1: you want to get away from that environment or do
39:05
Speaker 1: you want to stay in it? Well, if you have
39:07
Speaker 1: school choice, it's your choice. I like my kid to
39:10
Speaker 1: be indoctrinated by left wing teachers or no I don't.
39:13
Speaker 1: I'm going to pull them out and take them to
39:14
Speaker 1: where I want to go. What's wrong with that structure,
39:17
Speaker 1: that model. Well, it prevents them from indoctrinating all the
39:19
Speaker 1: children out there. Oh well, how about that. Appreciate that
39:22
Speaker 1: day very much, and it also allows me to pivot
39:24
Speaker 1: away from that whole idea of choice and Tom's comment
39:27
Speaker 1: in the last hour. No one wants to be told
39:29
Speaker 1: what to do, right, especially when what they're telling you
39:31
Speaker 1: to do is built on a lie. I go to
39:34
Speaker 1: issues and insights on the heels of the climate liberation
39:37
Speaker 1: that Trump provided us the other day by repealing that
39:40
Speaker 1: ridiculous CO two ban. More on that I know that
39:48
Speaker 1: they doted tooryly Bird of the Wall Street Journal. What
39:50
Speaker 1: progresses really fear is they won't be able to dictate
39:52
Speaker 1: the energy supplies, cars, and appliances that the Americans can buy,
39:57
Speaker 1: because they just repealed Barack Obama's and endangerment finding yesterday.
40:01
Speaker 1: Pivoting over to inside analysis, the op ed once stalanis
40:06
Speaker 1: this weekend, I brought this up. Wrote down twenty six
40:08
Speaker 1: billion because of EV sales not working out the way
40:11
Speaker 1: they won it on the heels of General Motors seven
40:13
Speaker 1: point six billion, Ford nineteen point five billion. Collectively, automakers
40:18
Speaker 1: have written down one hundred and forty billion dollars in
40:21
Speaker 1: the past three years because no one's buying that am
40:23
Speaker 1: EV's it didn't work out. Hmmm. CEO at stalanis when
40:29
Speaker 1: they announced this, Antonio Fealosa. So it was part of
40:33
Speaker 1: a decisive process we started in twenty twenty five once
40:37
Speaker 1: again to make our customers and their preferences our guiding star.
40:45
Speaker 1: And I says well, which begs the question, what was
40:47
Speaker 1: Stalani's guidance star before it's if not its own customers.
40:51
Speaker 1: Good point. Anyone who's following the auto industry over the
40:54
Speaker 1: past decade knows the answer. All of these losses are
40:57
Speaker 1: the result of automakers chasing a phantom known as zero
41:01
Speaker 1: mission cars. Remember the just until recently, we were treated
41:06
Speaker 1: to a constant barrage of stories about how EV sales
41:09
Speaker 1: were skyrocketing and car companies were winning plots for going green.
41:12
Speaker 1: Just five years ago, GM promised to go all electric
41:15
Speaker 1: by twenty thirty five. Two years ago, it's chief executive
41:18
Speaker 1: Mary Barra said, we believe in an all electric future. Honda, Fulo,
41:23
Speaker 1: Ford and others laid out their plans to be one
41:25
Speaker 1: hundred percent zero mission within a couple of decades, all
41:28
Speaker 1: supported by the Big Environment that's initial cap on that
41:31
Speaker 1: because it is its own cottage industry. They braved that
41:35
Speaker 1: evs were the only way to save the planet from
41:38
Speaker 1: climate change. None of it worked out as planned. Keep
41:41
Speaker 1: in mind, the one hundred and forty billion in combined
41:43
Speaker 1: auto industry losses is just the tip of the iceberg.
41:46
Speaker 1: Those are just the costs incurred by shareholders and employees
41:49
Speaker 1: of the companies. Here you go. Are you ready? This
41:52
Speaker 1: is the hard news to take, but it's real. Taxpayers
41:55
Speaker 1: you me have forked over hundreds of billions in federal
42:01
Speaker 1: and state tax dollars in subsidies that were designed to
42:03
Speaker 1: kick start the EV car market. They paid thousands towards
42:07
Speaker 1: the cost of each EV sold. They paid companies to
42:10
Speaker 1: build battery factories, they paid for charging stations, fuel economy
42:14
Speaker 1: standards imposed, and other hidden subsidies for evs. The only
42:17
Speaker 1: way automakers could meet increasingly stringent federal fuel economy standards
42:21
Speaker 1: CAFE standards was to sell more evs. And for each
42:25
Speaker 1: EV sold, here's the criminal component to this, they get
42:30
Speaker 1: an oversized credit towards the miles per gallon average of
42:35
Speaker 1: all cars sold in any given year. Ponder for a
42:38
Speaker 1: moment the credit which sphincter was the value of that
42:44
Speaker 1: credit pulled from when they put it into the law.
42:50
Speaker 1: If they still couldn't get those cafe standards, they buy
42:52
Speaker 1: credits from companies such as Tesla, which banked more than
42:56
Speaker 1: eleven billion dollars selling it's fuel economy credits, credits much
43:02
Speaker 1: like Bitcoin, that were created whole cloth through legislation, not
43:06
Speaker 1: the free market like bitcoin. But one day it's not there.
43:09
Speaker 1: The next day you've got a market for something they
43:11
Speaker 1: call credits. And honestly, what does a credit do. You're
43:16
Speaker 1: belching out CO two, which you're not supposed to get
43:18
Speaker 1: rid of, but you can buy yourself freedom from it
43:20
Speaker 1: by purchasing credits. How does that work? Practically speaking, it doesn't.
43:26
Speaker 1: Back to the op ED, When Texas Public Policy Foundation
43:29
Speaker 1: ran the numbers in twenty twenty one, they found nearly
43:31
Speaker 1: twenty two billion in federal and state subsidies and regulatory
43:34
Speaker 1: credits that year alone. Those families trying to buy a
43:38
Speaker 1: decent car were the ones who ultimately paid all the costs.
43:42
Speaker 1: Joe Biden criminally misnamed the Inflation Reduction Act GESS, included
43:45
Speaker 1: more than one trillion dollars in additional subsidies. Biden dumped
43:51
Speaker 1: seven and a half a billion into the production of
43:53
Speaker 1: charging station, resulting in fewer than one hundred charging ports
43:56
Speaker 1: actually being built. As the ROI on that one, there
44:01
Speaker 1: is some welcome news here, but the experience with the
44:04
Speaker 1: EV debacle shows that consumers are still in the driver's seat,
44:09
Speaker 1: no pun intended, No matter how much environmentalists shrieked, no
44:13
Speaker 1: matter how much regulators bullied, no matter how much money
44:16
Speaker 1: politicians through an evs, they couldn't overcome the will of
44:20
Speaker 1: the car buyers. And what the kind of affordable, reliable
44:23
Speaker 1: transportation that gas powered cars provide. And maybe that's also
44:27
Speaker 1: to suggest that they don't buy into your CO two
44:30
Speaker 1: is evil myth. Maybe it's a reflection of that they
44:37
Speaker 1: don't believe that by buying an EV they're going to
44:38
Speaker 1: save the planet. And thankfully, the Trump administration has been
44:43
Speaker 1: pulling the wiring out of the various federal EV subsidy schemes,
44:47
Speaker 1: most notably from yesterday with the removal of those ridiculous
44:49
Speaker 1: environmental finding Even so, there must be a reckoning. There
44:52
Speaker 1: needs to be an effort to tally all the wasteful
44:56
Speaker 1: spending imposed by the EV mania or maybe all the
44:59
Speaker 1: wasteful sp ending imposed by the religion that is CO
45:02
Speaker 1: two is going to kill us all. Sorry for the
45:05
Speaker 1: op ed piece, because we all, when all is said
45:09
Speaker 1: and done, it could prove to be the most expensive
45:12
Speaker 1: boondoggle in human history. And again they're focusing on just
45:16
Speaker 1: the ev Mandate. And I've said it many, many, many
45:20
Speaker 1: times that the biggest scam perpetrated on the globe to
45:23
Speaker 1: date P T. Barnum just rolling around in his grave
45:27
Speaker 1: in misery that he didn't think of it himself as
45:30
Speaker 1: that your exhalation is going to kill us six seventeen
45:34
Speaker 1: fifty five KRC The talk Station Color Electric Speaking KRC
45:39
Speaker 1: The Talk Station six twenty two the fifty five KRC,
45:49
Speaker 1: The talk Station, Happy It's Friday, David Indeed five one
45:57
Speaker 1: thirty seven fifty five eight two three talk of minutes talk,
46:00
Speaker 1: But would you have a Tech Frida with Dave had
46:02
Speaker 1: Or coming up next? And not a Maureene. Some people
46:05
Speaker 1: are happy about it, some people are questioning it, and
46:07
Speaker 1: I'm on the questioning it side. Mike Johnson was given
46:10
Speaker 1: the dog a hard DJ hard time because apparently the
46:13
Speaker 1: DJ was monitoring what the various lawmakers are looking at
46:17
Speaker 1: in the unredacted Epstein file document list. So you go
46:21
Speaker 1: into the in the secure room where you can see
46:23
Speaker 1: unredacted copies and find out if the redactions were appropriate
46:26
Speaker 1: or not. As many of them found out, they were
46:28
Speaker 1: not appropriate. They were looking at what you were searching on.
46:32
Speaker 1: If you're an elected official and you're in that room,
46:34
Speaker 1: don't you think you'd be entitled to a measure of privacy, Maureene,
46:39
Speaker 1: would you like it if they were looking at what
46:41
Speaker 1: you were searching? I don't know. Some suggest that you
46:45
Speaker 1: know they're they're well, anyway, here we go. I don't
46:51
Speaker 1: like the government spying on people, generally speaking. Anyhow, he's
46:56
Speaker 1: not gonna be talking about that. But what I do
46:58
Speaker 1: want to mention and thank you to whoever posted. I
47:01
Speaker 1: believe it was wlw's Facebook page. Be careful this weekend
47:06
Speaker 1: if you are out driving about. The High State Highway
47:09
Speaker 1: Patrol apparently going to be cracking down on speeding and
47:11
Speaker 1: other reckless driving over the weekend. Part of their enforcement
47:15
Speaker 1: blitz is what they're calling it, High State high Patrol
47:19
Speaker 1: along with troopers in Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia.
47:22
Speaker 1: They say they're going to be cracking down on what
47:24
Speaker 1: they're called dangerous driving on I seventy five. Seventy five
47:27
Speaker 1: specifically mentioned speeding, thaya ware seatbelt, which is a primary
47:31
Speaker 1: offense I believe now, which I think is ridiculous, but whatever,
47:34
Speaker 1: I know, driving under the influence as well, don't be
47:37
Speaker 1: that guy. The on Valentine's Day, well weekend that be
47:43
Speaker 1: today included all the way through Sunday, triples be patrolling
47:46
Speaker 1: I seventy five and surrounding areas, emphasizing driving behaviors that
47:50
Speaker 1: could lead to serious crashes. So can you draw a
47:54
Speaker 1: parallel they're announcing the increased presence of law enforcement. Are
48:03
Speaker 1: they gonna be reporting on when ice shows up in
48:05
Speaker 1: the neighborhood as well? Can you draw a parallel between
48:10
Speaker 1: those two? I kind of firstly appreciate when they let
48:15
Speaker 1: us know and they got speed traps out about are
48:19
Speaker 1: you defeating law enforcement? Like I said, it just depends
48:25
Speaker 1: on perspectives. Sometimes we're gonna learn about Google virtual assistants
48:30
Speaker 1: speaking of being secretly recorded. Apparently Google secretly recording users
48:35
Speaker 1: with a virtual assistation six on a Friday, interust it
48:43
Speaker 1: dot com. That's where you find Dave hot and his
48:45
Speaker 1: crew for all your computer needs. When you're a business owner,
48:47
Speaker 1: I know you got computers and sometimes you'll get into
48:50
Speaker 1: trouble using them or set them up in properly, don't
48:52
Speaker 1: have best practices in place. Whatever it is you've got computers,
48:55
Speaker 1: you need intrust it dot com, which the business currenter
48:58
Speaker 1: says is the best in the business here in the
49:00
Speaker 1: Tri State. Welcome the man who is responsible for interest
49:03
Speaker 1: it in this particular segment of the week we call
49:05
Speaker 1: the Tech Friday. It's Dave Hatter. Welcome back Day. Thank
49:08
Speaker 1: you so much for joining the program.
49:10
Speaker 3: Oh was my pleasure, Brian. I look forward to it
49:13
Speaker 3: every week.
49:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been revealing this crazy kidnapping case that's made
49:17
Speaker 1: all the news. Has been revealing about well, what's going
49:20
Speaker 1: on in the back door. We find out that Google,
49:22
Speaker 1: ring cameras or app whichever's system out there, actually still
49:25
Speaker 1: recording things even if you're not hooked up to the
49:27
Speaker 1: cloud with it. That was weird. Then we find out
49:30
Speaker 1: the realities of cryptocurrency. They tracked the account of the kidnapper,
49:34
Speaker 1: who I apparently identified a crypto account in which we
49:37
Speaker 1: were supposed he was supposed to receive five million dollars
49:39
Speaker 1: in ransom, but they put a little money into it
49:41
Speaker 1: just make sure it was active, which allows them to
49:43
Speaker 1: sort of follow that account and track literally every transaction
49:46
Speaker 1: ever made on that account. That's frightening. You can't buy
49:51
Speaker 1: something anymore without the world knowing that you bought it.
49:54
Speaker 1: And we pivot over to this your first topic this morning,
49:56
Speaker 1: Google Virtual assistant secretly recording users. Your favorite products are
50:01
Speaker 1: Google products, right, Dave?
50:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Brian, I'm a big fan of the
50:05
Speaker 3: Internet of things, not and the camera you're talking about
50:08
Speaker 3: in the gut three case. Maybe we dig into this
50:10
Speaker 3: a little bit more next week, because I think it's
50:12
Speaker 3: really interesting for folks, and to me, it's just yet
50:16
Speaker 3: another example of why I'm not a fan of the
50:18
Speaker 3: Internet of things, these so called smart devices, and it
50:22
Speaker 3: really illustrates that while I get the wow factor and
50:25
Speaker 3: the convenience and the coolness and all that that some
50:28
Speaker 3: of these devices bring, the vast majority of them are
50:31
Speaker 3: privacy and security dumpster fire. They're tracking you in ways
50:35
Speaker 3: that are not obvious and you probably couldn't understand even
50:37
Speaker 3: if they were. And that's just another example. But so yeah,
50:41
Speaker 3: this Google thing, a sixty eight million dollar lawsuit claims
50:45
Speaker 3: that it's Virtual assistant secretly recorded users. You and I
50:48
Speaker 3: have talked about this off and on for a long time.
50:50
Speaker 3: Many people have said, oh wait a minute. You know,
50:53
Speaker 3: it feels like these things are listening to me all
50:56
Speaker 3: the time. My phone is listening to me. And directly
50:59
Speaker 3: from the article, settlement reached last week in Northern North
51:02
Speaker 3: Northern California. Simpson allegations to tool recorded users even when
51:06
Speaker 3: they did not preface something with quote hey Google unquote,
51:09
Speaker 3: or quote okay Google unquote, or press a button on
51:12
Speaker 3: the device, claim the device has recorded them without their
51:15
Speaker 3: knowledge or consent, and then they received target advertisements for
51:18
Speaker 3: things they did not ask about. Google and the filing
51:21
Speaker 3: late Friday said it was settling to avoid the quote uncertainty, risk, expense, inconvenience,
51:26
Speaker 3: and distraction unquote of a lengthy court battle that was
51:29
Speaker 3: reported in the Hill. Or is it possibly because they
51:32
Speaker 3: don't want discovery?
51:34
Speaker 1: There six days and well done.
51:38
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm no lawyer, but I know how this works, Brian.
51:40
Speaker 3: And you know, is it because sixty eight million dollars
51:44
Speaker 3: settlement to Google is probably like you know, sixty eight
51:47
Speaker 3: cents to you and.
51:48
Speaker 1: I exactly, They have their own, massive, well funded legal
51:51
Speaker 1: department within Google. And then they also hired the most
51:53
Speaker 1: expensive talented outside council at four figures plus per hour,
51:58
Speaker 1: probably at least twenty one lawyer's per law firm assigned
52:01
Speaker 1: to the case. So yeah, it all adds up. But
52:03
Speaker 1: to Google, it's a moment in time in terms of
52:05
Speaker 1: their revenue.
52:06
Speaker 3: But real quick, Brian, I just wanted to say, you know,
52:09
Speaker 3: I try to tell this to people all the time.
52:11
Speaker 3: You know, I don't have these devices. I don't have
52:13
Speaker 3: Nest thermostats, Nest doorbells, ring doorbells, any of this. You know,
52:17
Speaker 3: ring has now come under fire again. But I would
52:21
Speaker 3: just say people do not understand these things. Have microphones,
52:24
Speaker 3: they have cameras. They've done studies where they'll put these
52:27
Speaker 3: sort of quote, you know, smart assistants in a room
52:29
Speaker 3: and turn on a TV and watch how often they
52:32
Speaker 3: activate when they're not using the wake word. And I
52:34
Speaker 3: would just remind people it must be listening to you
52:37
Speaker 3: all the time. It has now should it yeah, should
52:39
Speaker 3: it activate? Should it record? Should it do things without
52:42
Speaker 3: you explicitly asking it to? No, But it must be
52:45
Speaker 3: listening to you in order for you to be able
52:47
Speaker 3: to tell it to do something right.
52:48
Speaker 1: That's from the very get go of these devices. Data
52:51
Speaker 1: seems so blank and obvious. How can you not understand
52:55
Speaker 1: that it has to listen to you all the time
52:57
Speaker 1: in order for it to be operated.
52:59
Speaker 3: Which is why I don't have any of these voice assistants.
53:01
Speaker 3: I don't use Siri on my Apple phone. It's turned off.
53:05
Speaker 3: If I want something, I just type in there. Old school.
53:08
Speaker 3: I know, I know that's crazy for people. But in
53:10
Speaker 3: this same article they mentioned the settlement comes after Apple
53:13
Speaker 3: reached a similar ninety five million dollars settlement last year
53:17
Speaker 3: over its voice assistance Siri allegedly listening to private or
53:20
Speaker 3: confidential conversations that were then share with third party businesses
53:23
Speaker 3: and used to help to cultivate interesting ads. So again,
53:27
Speaker 3: none of these things have gone to court, None of
53:30
Speaker 3: these have gotten extensive discovery. One could surmise that perhaps
53:35
Speaker 3: that is because they don't want the discovery that would
53:37
Speaker 3: ultimately prove that is exactly what's happening. So again, folks,
53:42
Speaker 3: do what you will. If you have fully informed consent
53:45
Speaker 3: and you have a house full of these so called
53:46
Speaker 3: smart devices, good luck with that. Again. Talking to a guy,
53:52
Speaker 3: there's a great meme. I wish I would have come
53:54
Speaker 3: up with it, Brian, And obviously your listeners can't see it.
53:56
Speaker 3: But it's a guy that says, you know, tech enthusiasts.
53:59
Speaker 3: My house is is full of smart devices, tech worker.
54:02
Speaker 3: I only have a printer, and I keep a gun
54:04
Speaker 3: next to it in case it makes a noise. I
54:05
Speaker 3: don't recognize be that guy. Be that Guy's that to me?
54:10
Speaker 3: I use that in slide decks all the time when
54:12
Speaker 3: I'm talking about this stuff out, you know, in various settings,
54:16
Speaker 3: like you should be that guy. This stuff is so immature,
54:19
Speaker 3: it is not consumer friendly. People don't understand how to
54:23
Speaker 3: configure it correctly. They don't understand the kind of data
54:25
Speaker 3: it can collect. They don't know how to update it.
54:28
Speaker 3: So it's a it's a double whemmy of it's a
54:30
Speaker 3: you know, an Orwellian privacy device as well as it's
54:33
Speaker 3: full of software that's probably misconfigured, not set up right,
54:37
Speaker 3: comes from China, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. We're
54:41
Speaker 3: at a place where this stuff. You should not use
54:43
Speaker 3: this stuff. I'll just leave it at that. I don't
54:45
Speaker 3: do what you will.
54:47
Speaker 1: Thank you Dave for reminding people what you regularly remind.
54:51
Speaker 1: You can use as much time in Tech Friday's Day
54:53
Speaker 1: Hatter segment as you want to remind people. Just get
54:56
Speaker 1: rid of those stupid devices. Six thirty five coming up,
54:58
Speaker 1: we've got more of the hidden price of clicks. That's
55:02
Speaker 1: an experversa real six fifty five ker seedtalk station a
55:11
Speaker 1: little Why why is he there? Moving pictures? Just turned
55:13
Speaker 1: forty five years old yesterday, Dave Hatter rush fan, You
55:17
Speaker 1: are as am I crazy, isn't it? I'm so old?
55:20
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I remember when the album came out
55:22
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty one. Oh I just love that album too. Anyhow,
55:25
Speaker 1: tech Freddy Dave had this is really freaky, and I
55:28
Speaker 1: think of this when I think about the Kroger card.
55:30
Speaker 1: But go ahead and launch into congratulations. Another Kentucky Tribune
55:34
Speaker 1: covered you, Jacob Klaive, who's reporting on the surveillance pricing quality,
55:40
Speaker 1: raising our prices, the hidden cost of clicks, Dave.
55:44
Speaker 3: So Brian, this is a perfect segue. Thank you Joe
55:47
Speaker 3: Strecker for picking these topics today from the last article.
55:50
Speaker 3: One of the ways that you get all the day
55:53
Speaker 3: to use for surveillance pricing is from all your so
55:55
Speaker 3: called smart devices, which not only is your in thermostat,
55:58
Speaker 3: your doorbell, your tea, your refrigerator, your dryer, your car,
56:02
Speaker 3: your phone, you know, et cetera. It's it's you know,
56:08
Speaker 3: every website, you visit, everything you do. You mentioned it
56:11
Speaker 3: leading into that last segment, right, We're being tracked everywhere
56:14
Speaker 3: all the time. You're leaving these digital breadcrumbs. Some call
56:17
Speaker 3: it digital exhaust everywhere. The more devices that have software
56:21
Speaker 3: in them, the more tracking there is, not to mention
56:24
Speaker 3: the security components, and this has recently come up. So
56:28
Speaker 3: I stumbled into an article that led me down a
56:31
Speaker 3: rabbit hole on this. So I'm just going to read
56:33
Speaker 3: a little bit of this and then get right to
56:34
Speaker 3: the meat of it. When Washington Post columnist Jeffrey Fowler
56:37
Speaker 3: requested his personal data from Starbucks, he expected a simple
56:40
Speaker 3: purchase log. Instead, he received an eight page dotsia detailing
56:44
Speaker 3: every drink, every snack, every tap in the Starbucks app.
56:47
Speaker 3: Even more surprising, now, wait for it, even more surprising.
56:51
Speaker 3: The more loyal he became, the fewer deals he received.
56:54
Speaker 1: Because he's a loyal customer, why would they get the
56:57
Speaker 1: deal they know he's coming in all the time.
57:00
Speaker 3: That's exactly right.
57:01
Speaker 1: Pay for cast, don't get a loyalty card, more discounts
57:04
Speaker 1: coming your way.
57:05
Speaker 3: And you know.
57:08
Speaker 5: So.
57:08
Speaker 3: For a long time, there's been this idea of dynamic pricing.
57:13
Speaker 3: People might have heard this terminology specifically with things like
57:16
Speaker 3: Uber or Lyft with surge pricing. You go to a
57:19
Speaker 3: concert at River Bend, and suddenly it gets much more
57:21
Speaker 3: expensive to get an Uber right, as opposed to if
57:24
Speaker 3: you just called an Uber over to let's say the
57:27
Speaker 3: casino on a Friday night. Instead it's a sold out concert,
57:30
Speaker 3: your price goes way up. Right, so it might say, okay, again,
57:34
Speaker 3: this has been around for a long time. You're in
57:36
Speaker 3: a zip code that appears to be more affluent than me,
57:39
Speaker 3: so you go to buy something on an e commerce
57:41
Speaker 3: website and you get a different price than me.
57:43
Speaker 1: Oh that's hilarious, real quick. I got to say this
57:46
Speaker 1: because it reminds me we lived in a Chicago We
57:48
Speaker 1: had a house in Oak Park and River Forest was
57:51
Speaker 1: the next neighborhood over a far wealthier neighborhood. We used
57:53
Speaker 1: to joke about the Oak Park price versus the River
57:57
Speaker 1: Forest price. Like when it came to home construction or
57:59
Speaker 1: project it was cheaper at up Park than it was
58:02
Speaker 1: the river forest because the people knew that they were
58:03
Speaker 1: wealthier people. River Forest.
58:06
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well so it's the same basic idea. But you know,
58:09
Speaker 3: now thanks to all this digital technology, again, I can
58:12
Speaker 3: look at your IP address, figure out you're in a
58:14
Speaker 3: different zip code and gives you a different maybe a
58:17
Speaker 3: higher or lower price as a result. So surveillance pricing
58:21
Speaker 3: takes it to the next level, which is now it's
58:24
Speaker 3: not just about you know, perhaps one demographic factor I
58:27
Speaker 3: can figure out about you. So much data is out
58:30
Speaker 3: there about you now being collected about you via all
58:33
Speaker 3: these so called smart devices, all this online activity which
58:38
Speaker 3: is then sold to data brokers who coalate even more
58:41
Speaker 3: of it into Again, just Starbucks had an eight page
58:44
Speaker 3: dots on this one reporter. Imagine all the things you
58:48
Speaker 3: do online. If all of that were being bought and
58:50
Speaker 3: sold and accumulated, how much detailed information there would be
58:53
Speaker 3: available about you? Now the concept of surveillance pricing. Now
58:58
Speaker 3: I can look at, you know, very detailed psychographic data
59:01
Speaker 3: about you and give you a different price than someone else. Right,
59:05
Speaker 3: And this in my article I kind of break it
59:08
Speaker 3: down traditional dynamic pricing. Price has changed for everyone based
59:11
Speaker 3: on time, demand, inventory, et cetera. It's somewhat transparent. Surveillance
59:16
Speaker 3: pricing applies to you individually. It's based on your personal data,
59:20
Speaker 3: and it's opaque and difficult or impossible to detect. And
59:25
Speaker 3: now again, thanks to Kentucky's Consumer Data Protection Act, as
59:28
Speaker 3: a Kentuckian, you can potentially go out and start to
59:31
Speaker 3: request some of this data gets deleted. That's a monumental task,
59:35
Speaker 3: by the way, I'm not suggesting it's simple. And in
59:37
Speaker 3: this article, I'll post this out there. I've posted this
59:40
Speaker 3: article numerous times in my social media individually, I'll post
59:43
Speaker 3: it again. I'll put it in today's show notes. People
59:46
Speaker 3: should go read this because I have several examples of
59:48
Speaker 3: how this could be used. And the point I'm trying
59:52
Speaker 3: to make is not so much just this one thing.
59:55
Speaker 3: It's that we are increasingly in a digital world where
59:57
Speaker 3: all this data is being collected about you, and this
1:00:00
Speaker 3: is just one of many ways this data can be used.
1:00:02
Speaker 3: In this case, I would argue against you not to
1:00:06
Speaker 3: mention things like because all this data is being collected,
1:00:08
Speaker 3: and because people keep buying these IoT devices and putting
1:00:11
Speaker 3: more and more and more about themselves out there, you know,
1:00:14
Speaker 3: determination that we don't like the way you behave, so
1:00:16
Speaker 3: we're going to increase your insurance premium, or we're going
1:00:19
Speaker 3: to cancel your insurance, or you're not going to get
1:00:21
Speaker 3: a job because they're using tools to analyze this data
1:00:24
Speaker 3: and decide you won't be a good employee, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
1:00:29
Speaker 1: Right, parably orwellian? I mean to boil it down again
1:00:32
Speaker 1: using that too often? Use word yes.
1:00:35
Speaker 3: And you know in the article, I give some basic
1:00:37
Speaker 3: tips about how to reduce your digital footprint, how to
1:00:40
Speaker 3: improve your privacy. You know, I've said this on here
1:00:43
Speaker 3: many times and posted it many times. I put together
1:00:45
Speaker 3: a list of the privacy friendly sites, apps, whatever you
1:00:52
Speaker 3: want to call them, that I personally use. You know,
1:00:56
Speaker 3: are they perfect? No, Most of these companies have their issues.
1:01:01
Speaker 3: Some are much more privacy friendly than others. But you know,
1:01:04
Speaker 3: you can take steps to reduce your digital footprint. You
1:01:07
Speaker 3: can take steps to limit the impact this sort of
1:01:10
Speaker 3: thing has on you, but you have to make a
1:01:12
Speaker 3: conscious effort to do it. And part of that is
1:01:15
Speaker 3: to strip out all of these insane so called smart
1:01:18
Speaker 3: devices people have in their house. And I think what
1:01:20
Speaker 3: people if people go out and start to dig into
1:01:23
Speaker 3: like the I don't know, Brian, have you seen all
1:01:25
Speaker 3: the feedback or the blowback on the Amazon Ad from
1:01:28
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl flock cameras and then now this nest
1:01:32
Speaker 3: thing with the gut three case. You know, I'm hoping
1:01:35
Speaker 3: this is going to start to wake people up to
1:01:38
Speaker 3: the unbelievable surveillance you are voluntarily putting yourself under when
1:01:43
Speaker 3: you use these.
1:01:45
Speaker 1: Things, Dave. That's why we're lucky to have you and
1:01:47
Speaker 1: the importance of this particular segment. You've been on this
1:01:49
Speaker 1: bandwagon for literally years, so more and more people wake
1:01:53
Speaker 1: it up. To maybe take a while for people to
1:01:55
Speaker 1: come around, but finally the message seems to be sinking in.
1:01:57
Speaker 1: One more with the talk station six if you want,
1:02:01
Speaker 1: but you have GARCD talk station tech buddies, Dave Hat
1:02:03
Speaker 1: or intrust it dot com, find Dave and his team
1:02:06
Speaker 1: to help you get out of your business related computer
1:02:08
Speaker 1: issues Dave Hat or another one. We're talking about fake banks,
1:02:12
Speaker 1: exploiting search and trust.
1:02:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, Brian, I want to veer off on this for
1:02:17
Speaker 3: one second because I want to tell a real world
1:02:18
Speaker 3: story that's kind of related, and I think this is
1:02:20
Speaker 3: going to blow people's minds now, I know, the person
1:02:23
Speaker 3: this happened to personally. Okay, okay, So I'm going to
1:02:27
Speaker 3: tell you a real world story. Person.
1:02:29
Speaker 5: I know.
1:02:29
Speaker 3: It's a text. It appears to come from a bank,
1:02:33
Speaker 3: a known bank. It's easy to spoof a phone number
1:02:37
Speaker 3: for a phone call or a text. It is trivially
1:02:39
Speaker 3: easy to make the incoming phone call or text message
1:02:43
Speaker 3: appear to come from any number I want. People don't
1:02:45
Speaker 3: seem to understand this. It does not even require much skill.
1:02:49
Speaker 3: This person gets a phone call or a text rather
1:02:52
Speaker 3: from a bank. They think it's their bank number. Looks legit.
1:02:56
Speaker 3: They take they call the number. They get on the
1:03:00
Speaker 3: phone with an actual live con artist, Yeah okay, who
1:03:04
Speaker 3: tells them they're investigating the bank and they need them
1:03:08
Speaker 3: to go and take money out of their ATM, which
1:03:11
Speaker 3: they do and put the money into another ATM. Oh
1:03:15
Speaker 3: my god, which of course the bad guys control. What
1:03:18
Speaker 3: do you think happened to their money?
1:03:21
Speaker 1: Oh it's coy, I wonder, Dave, this is this.
1:03:24
Speaker 3: Is real, Brian, this again, I know this person personally, Okay,
1:03:29
Speaker 3: this just happened. People have got to understand the level
1:03:33
Speaker 3: of sophistication of these con artists, not the technical sophistication
1:03:37
Speaker 3: because this what they did was not really technical at all.
1:03:40
Speaker 3: They spoofed a phone number and then they con someone
1:03:43
Speaker 3: with social engineering. Yeah, this is happening every day people,
1:03:47
Speaker 3: every single day. Phishing emails, phishing texts, actual phishing voice
1:03:53
Speaker 3: calls are going out. Your data is everywhere, finding that
1:03:57
Speaker 3: you use a certain bank and then making a bogus
1:04:00
Speaker 3: phone caller text from that bank, a spoofed number call
1:04:03
Speaker 3: from that bank. I've caught to your phone number and
1:04:06
Speaker 3: one hundred million other phone numbers. It's trivial. Yeah, all
1:04:09
Speaker 3: they need is one person to pick up the phone.
1:04:12
Speaker 3: If I steal a thousand dollars from you, that's a
1:04:15
Speaker 3: good day. Yeah right, Most people don't make a thousand
1:04:17
Speaker 3: dollars tax for a day. If I can do that
1:04:20
Speaker 3: ten times a day, I'm rolling. You are rolling.
1:04:23
Speaker 1: I've actually gotten those Dave, the fake message. I have
1:04:27
Speaker 1: two separate institutions. I bank with shareff fact, so of
1:04:30
Speaker 1: course I speak for, but my other bank, I've received
1:04:32
Speaker 1: several emails purporting to be from my bank and reaching
1:04:35
Speaker 1: out to me for similar very suspicious purposes. Talk about delete,
1:04:39
Speaker 1: taking me about two seconds to figure out. Now, screw that.
1:04:41
Speaker 1: If they really need to get in touch me. They're
1:04:43
Speaker 1: going to know how to do it properly.
1:04:46
Speaker 3: I've gotten these sort of things too, but folks, do
1:04:50
Speaker 3: not take the calls, do not click the links, do
1:04:53
Speaker 3: not text back to the numbers. If you get something
1:04:56
Speaker 3: like this that claims to be from your bank, stop
1:04:59
Speaker 3: what you're doing and then go log into your bank's website,
1:05:03
Speaker 3: use the banking app on your phone, look up a
1:05:05
Speaker 3: number from the credit card statement or bank statement you get,
1:05:09
Speaker 3: go directly to them. We nerds like to call it
1:05:12
Speaker 3: out of band. Go out of band, don't take debate,
1:05:16
Speaker 3: and no bank is going to tell you transfer your
1:05:18
Speaker 3: money to another bank. Go get money out of an
1:05:20
Speaker 3: ATM and put it in another ATM. No legitimate bank
1:05:23
Speaker 3: is going to do that.
1:05:24
Speaker 1: That's so funny that people would fall for that, Dave.
1:05:26
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's it's you know that sad. I thought
1:05:30
Speaker 1: your friend, but that just seems so damn obvious.
1:05:33
Speaker 3: Brian. You know, as a result of all this media
1:05:36
Speaker 3: I'm doing, I get lots of calls from people who've
1:05:39
Speaker 3: been scammed, identity theft. It's really tragic to kind of
1:05:43
Speaker 3: things that are happening to people. So to hit this
1:05:45
Speaker 3: last point real quick because it is important. So a
1:05:47
Speaker 3: Reesecourage company showed in the past year they found more
1:05:51
Speaker 3: than wait for it, eleven thousand eleven thousand fraudulent bank
1:05:55
Speaker 3: domains eight thousand in the US alone. So bad guys
1:05:59
Speaker 3: are going out registering a look alike or doppelganger domain
1:06:04
Speaker 3: for fifth third USAA city bank fill in the blank.
1:06:07
Speaker 3: They're copying the real things. They set up something that
1:06:10
Speaker 3: looks exactly like it. They spend time and energy to
1:06:13
Speaker 3: make it search engine optimized. It's a concept called search
1:06:16
Speaker 3: engine poisoning. You can't just because you go search on
1:06:19
Speaker 3: a search engine, don't use Google, use bing or duc
1:06:22
Speaker 3: duc Goo or Brave or something else. But when you search,
1:06:25
Speaker 3: they're not verifying those links. The bad guys know they
1:06:28
Speaker 3: can use the search engines to lure you to websites
1:06:31
Speaker 3: because they know people don't realize that those links aren't
1:06:34
Speaker 3: being checked in any way. Right. They say in the article,
1:06:37
Speaker 3: they're polished SEO optimized platforms that impersonate legitimate financial institutions, regulators,
1:06:42
Speaker 3: and lending services. Okay, so they get you to go
1:06:45
Speaker 3: to one of these things, they'll run you through know
1:06:47
Speaker 3: your customer stuff to make it feel like you're working

Speaker 1: Thanks Brian six fifty seven fifty five K City Talk
1:08:30
Speaker 1: Station former Meryl Cannedy. Corey Bowman returns after the top
1:08:32
Speaker 1: of there and notably since we crashed yesterday. So what's
1:08:35
Speaker 1: the story here? I've got voter IDs on the list
1:08:38
Speaker 1: of topics to talk about with you, Corey Bowman. What's
1:08:40
Speaker 1: this all about?
1:08:42
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, so nationally we're seeing that. For one, I'm
1:08:46
Speaker 5: so mad that you eight up my time. I think
1:08:48
Speaker 5: I'm gonna hang up on you too.
1:08:49
Speaker 1: So I'm just just say the word yeah.
1:08:54
Speaker 7: Right.
1:08:56
Speaker 5: For some reason, whenever I heard everything going on yesterday,
1:09:00
Speaker 5: it's gonna be off topic here. But I'm thinking out
1:09:02
Speaker 5: of all people who hangs up on d Brian Thomas
1:09:05
Speaker 5: like one of the most open and awesome guys on
1:09:09
Speaker 5: the radio here. So you'll never have me hang up
1:09:12
Speaker 5: unless I'm losing reception because I didn't pay my bill
1:09:15
Speaker 5: or something.
1:09:18
Speaker 1: But I think there's a government handout to keep that
1:09:21
Speaker 1: cell phone bill paid, Corey, if you want to look
1:09:23
Speaker 1: for it.
1:09:23
Speaker 7: Yeah, right.
1:09:25
Speaker 5: But you know we're talking about you know a lot
1:09:29
Speaker 5: nationally when it comes to the Save Act, and a
1:09:32
Speaker 5: lot of people are arguing what it comes down to
1:09:35
Speaker 5: when it comes to voter ID. I do want to
1:09:38
Speaker 5: say this. I've talked with a lot of people downtown,
1:09:40
Speaker 5: a lot of people and where we are, and when
1:09:42
Speaker 5: you ask them just a simple question. You don't start
1:09:44
Speaker 5: off the conversation with Republican or Democrat, But hey, does
1:09:48
Speaker 5: it make sense to present an ID whenever you're voting.
1:09:51
Speaker 5: The majority of people that you talk to agree, yeah,
1:09:55
Speaker 5: that makes sense to present an ID. You have to
1:09:57
Speaker 5: present an idea. If you buipacked a cigarette or alcohol
1:10:01
Speaker 5: or anything else and there's not a lot of opposition
1:10:04
Speaker 5: to that in the areas now I'm in, so I
1:10:06
Speaker 5: just kind of want to start with that, and then
1:10:09
Speaker 5: you know, for me, I'm always wanting to bring it locally. Locally,
1:10:13
Speaker 5: we have elections, and I've been talking with a lot
1:10:15
Speaker 5: of people and we just got past the dates for
1:10:19
Speaker 5: people to sign up for precinct executives. A lot of
1:10:22
Speaker 5: people don't know what that is, but basically we have
1:10:24
Speaker 5: over five hundred precincts in Hamilton County and how these
1:10:27
Speaker 5: elections work as each precinct, you know, has a certain
1:10:30
Speaker 5: amount of people that you go to polling stations and
1:10:32
Speaker 5: those precincts to vote. And I think that that's something
1:10:35
Speaker 5: that even starting off at the beginning of this year,
1:10:37
Speaker 5: we've got to focus on when it comes to organizing
1:10:40
Speaker 5: and about the issues that we care about to make
1:10:43
Speaker 5: sure that we get ahead of it, not just for
1:10:45
Speaker 5: the May fifth primaries, but obviously for the general elections
1:10:49
Speaker 5: coming in November.
1:10:51
Speaker 1: Fair enough, well, I know that's an overwhelmingly in favor
1:10:55
Speaker 1: of issue and it makes perfect sense. And if you
1:10:57
Speaker 1: have a real idea you got from the the DMV,
1:11:01
Speaker 1: you've already gone through the whole process with whatever you
1:11:03
Speaker 1: need to get a real idea the bursting and everything,
1:11:05
Speaker 1: and that qualifies you to vote in federal elections in
1:11:06
Speaker 1: and of itself, So I don't see so much of
1:11:08
Speaker 1: a challenge anyhow.
1:11:10
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I mean, you know how we ran the
1:11:12
Speaker 5: mayor race. I wasn't trying to get involved in national
1:11:15
Speaker 5: politics because there's so many city issues that people care about,
1:11:19
Speaker 5: but I just felt like I needed to at least
1:11:21
Speaker 5: express from my perspective. You know, we pastor in the
1:11:23
Speaker 5: inner city. We have coffee shop here, We talk to
1:11:25
Speaker 5: people on the streets, and no matter what it's said
1:11:29
Speaker 5: in the media, people think that it's common sense to
1:11:32
Speaker 5: show an id for voting, and so a lot of
1:11:35
Speaker 5: that just kind of gets clouded by the arguments of
1:11:39
Speaker 5: Republicans versus Democrat and even our own representative Greg wins
1:11:43
Speaker 5: then he vote against sitting. Yeah, and that's of disenfranchised voters.
1:11:47
Speaker 5: But the people that we're talking to downtown and the
1:11:49
Speaker 5: interner city, they don't feel that way.
1:11:51
Speaker 1: Now, I'm sure they don't because it's something they probably
1:11:54
Speaker 1: use almost on a day to day basis in their
1:11:56
Speaker 1: real lives. What's the big deal I got to use
1:11:58
Speaker 1: I gotta pull that photo idea out for a multitude
1:12:00
Speaker 1: of things. So a big deal with the voting and
1:12:02
Speaker 1: actually makes sense because the integrity it will be upheld
1:12:04
Speaker 1: and you know, flip it on its head. How would
1:12:07
Speaker 1: the world react if this was a Republican issue and
1:12:10
Speaker 1: that Republicans were going around championing this, you know, just
1:12:14
Speaker 1: make an attestation that you are who you say you are.
1:12:17
Speaker 1: We're not going to check it or back it up.
1:12:18
Speaker 1: We're not gonna do any vetting. We're just gonna, oh, okay,
1:12:21
Speaker 1: accept you at your word and let you vote. I mean,
1:12:24
Speaker 1: the Democrats would be pulling their hair out. Maybe it's
1:12:27
Speaker 1: the reason they really don't truly enjoy a majority opinion
1:12:30
Speaker 1: in this country, and that's why they want to be
1:12:31
Speaker 1: able to make it easy to cheat when voting. Hmm,
1:12:34
Speaker 1: maybe there's that.
1:12:36
Speaker 5: No, that's but also one of the biggest things is
1:12:39
Speaker 5: not just to have opinions about all these issues, but
1:12:41
Speaker 5: get involved locally. You know, I'm in the area that
1:12:45
Speaker 5: I'm in. I actually have a friend that I've met
1:12:47
Speaker 5: recently and we talk on the streets just because we're neighbors.
1:12:51
Speaker 5: But then I find out that he's been a part
1:12:54
Speaker 5: of an organization that's been recruiting people to be precinct
1:12:57
Speaker 5: executives for the Democratic Party. And he said that they
1:13:01
Speaker 5: recruited I think over one hundred and ninety seven I
1:13:04
Speaker 5: think people to be precinct executives for the Democratic Party
1:13:07
Speaker 5: in the city. Now, this is a common sense guy,
1:13:10
Speaker 5: and so I looked at it and said, well, it's
1:13:12
Speaker 5: ok It's okay for us to have these conversations about
1:13:15
Speaker 5: different issues because we were talking about the race. And
1:13:18
Speaker 5: then I said, hey, just let me ask you, as
1:13:20
Speaker 5: a Democrat, how do you feel about what's going on
1:13:24
Speaker 5: with the city as far as the City Hall government.
1:13:26
Speaker 5: He said, We're very frustrating. He said, we're very frustrated
1:13:29
Speaker 5: because for us, you know, they had an issue with
1:13:32
Speaker 5: street cleaners that they were trying to get resolved and
1:13:34
Speaker 5: it was backed up for months and months at a time.
1:13:37
Speaker 5: Talking about the snowplower moval and everything going on, and
1:13:40
Speaker 5: then we started talking about, you know, the safety and
1:13:43
Speaker 5: public safety, and that's a huge issue on both sides,
1:13:47
Speaker 5: and they're not very happy with how things have been
1:13:49
Speaker 5: dealt with in the West End. And so the more
1:13:51
Speaker 5: you talk to people, you realize that these common sense
1:13:54
Speaker 5: issues are important. Across the aisle and then but the
1:13:58
Speaker 5: other side is fairly more organized when it comes to
1:14:01
Speaker 5: recruiting and getting involved locally in the city, and I
1:14:04
Speaker 5: think that's something that we have to change. We have
1:14:06
Speaker 5: to encourage people get involved locally. Don't just you know,
1:14:09
Speaker 5: complain and then move out when it doesn't work out.
1:14:12
Speaker 5: You know, we have elections this year, we have elections
1:14:15
Speaker 5: every year, and important issues on the ballot constantly. I
1:14:18
Speaker 5: don't think that's something to just give up on the
1:14:20
Speaker 5: city for. It's something that we've got to get involved
1:14:22
Speaker 5: in locally.
1:14:23
Speaker 1: Well, is this a top down effort on the part
1:14:26
Speaker 1: of the Democrats that they have a measure of control
1:14:29
Speaker 1: and organization over the Democrat Party within the city of Cincinnati,
1:14:33
Speaker 1: maybe is lacking on the Republican side of the ledger
1:14:35
Speaker 1: Cory Bowman well to somewhat.
1:14:38
Speaker 5: But also, you know, the organization a lot of times
1:14:42
Speaker 5: comes because you know, there's just they're more involved just overall,
1:14:47
Speaker 5: the party locally is more more involved when it comes
1:14:51
Speaker 5: to organizing precinct executives. Because the guy that I spoke to,
1:14:55
Speaker 5: he isn't like from the top down on the Democratic Party.
1:14:58
Speaker 5: He's part of a separate organization, but they're coming out
1:15:02
Speaker 5: to try to recruit because there's issues they care about
1:15:05
Speaker 5: that they don't feel like has been representing them. So
1:15:08
Speaker 5: I think that's a huge thing. We got to take
1:15:10
Speaker 5: note of this. You know, I even talk to our
1:15:12
Speaker 5: Secretary of State, you know, during the election whenever I
1:15:15
Speaker 5: saw the primary, and I just said that, you know,
1:15:18
Speaker 5: when you see the numbers coming out in the city,
1:15:22
Speaker 5: but also it's only a thirty percent turnout, so there's
1:15:25
Speaker 5: a lot of potential voters that just don't turn out.
1:15:27
Speaker 5: So we've got to get better at this because I
1:15:30
Speaker 5: don't believe this is a Hey, we just need to
1:15:33
Speaker 5: make these lines even more solid to where these are
1:15:36
Speaker 5: democrat areas, these are Republican areas. I think that diversity
1:15:40
Speaker 5: of thought and opinion is what needs to be the
1:15:43
Speaker 5: backbone of all these elections, and we need to you know,
1:15:47
Speaker 5: continue that, we need to continue to put our voices forward.
1:15:50
Speaker 5: I mean, you've had Signal ninety nine on, You've had
1:15:52
Speaker 5: a lot of you know, Todd Zenzer and a lot
1:15:55
Speaker 5: of these voices that are on. They're bringing out these
1:15:59
Speaker 5: issues that continually need to be put out, and that
1:16:03
Speaker 5: that conversation is so vital in our city.
1:16:06
Speaker 1: It really is. And that's why I love having you on, Corey,
1:16:09
Speaker 1: because you continue this conversation to remind people that you know,
1:16:12
Speaker 1: it's possible for you to maybe make a change. You
1:16:14
Speaker 1: just got to get involved. So to the extent we
1:16:17
Speaker 1: have a top down structure with regard to conservative politic
1:16:19
Speaker 1: in the city of City Cincinnati. I'm going to annoint
1:16:21
Speaker 1: you at least for the time being, and we're going
1:16:23
Speaker 1: to continue with Corey Bowman on other city related issues.
1:16:25
Speaker 1: See the talk station. It's seven nineteen. If fifty havet
1:16:30
Speaker 1: ker City talk Station, Happy Friday after the top of
1:16:33
Speaker 1: the hour News eight oh five with Marcel Sturbris. Mister
1:16:36
Speaker 1: Sturburge's going to be in studio talk about why he
1:16:38
Speaker 1: is running for Secretary of State, and of course hopefully
1:16:41
Speaker 1: he won't have a meltdown and start cursing into the microphone.
1:16:44
Speaker 1: I stump button to work on him too, but now
1:16:46
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen. With Marcel Jack Winsor
1:16:48
Speaker 1: at eight thirty. In the meantime, Corey Bowman, I was
1:16:52
Speaker 1: do you know.
1:16:55
Speaker 3: That's it?
1:16:55
Speaker 5: I don't.
1:16:59
Speaker 3: Devin.
1:17:00
Speaker 1: Democrats are certainly more organized when it comes to voting
1:17:04
Speaker 1: and within the city of Cincinnati. I know the voter
1:17:07
Speaker 1: turnout you already mentioned in the last hour was terrible.
1:17:09
Speaker 1: I just it was so broken hearted that the issues
1:17:12
Speaker 1: that we were talking about in advance to the November election.
1:17:15
Speaker 1: I guess we're ignored by the voters weren't taken seriously.
1:17:18
Speaker 1: I mean the whole zoning thing with Hyde Park. Now
1:17:20
Speaker 1: I realized that they effectively got since a council to
1:17:23
Speaker 1: listen to them and they pulled the plans for Hyde Park.
1:17:25
Speaker 1: But we had the whole bond Hill thing, and I
1:17:27
Speaker 1: don't know if that got undone, but there were a
1:17:28
Speaker 1: lot of reasons for people to come out, and they
1:17:31
Speaker 1: just didn't. And I suppose are there are Republicans not
1:17:35
Speaker 1: registered in the city, Corey Bowman? Clearly, if they are,
1:17:38
Speaker 1: they didn't show up. But I'm just wondering, does the
1:17:41
Speaker 1: Republicans that live in the city of Cincinnati, to the
1:17:43
Speaker 1: extent there are any, do they just think it's not
1:17:44
Speaker 1: even worth their while registering? What's the problem here, Corey Bowman,
1:17:47
Speaker 1: if you could break it down or if you even know.
1:17:50
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I think that this is, you know, just
1:17:53
Speaker 5: a combination of everything. It was just a lot of
1:17:55
Speaker 5: different issues all a once. I've mentioned before the precinct executives.
1:18:00
Speaker 5: Basically what this is that you have over five hundred
1:18:02
Speaker 5: precincts in Hamilton County, put somebody over each precinct, and
1:18:06
Speaker 5: then they're in charge of kind of rawlling that small
1:18:09
Speaker 5: group of people to be able to say, hey, let's
1:18:11
Speaker 5: find the Republicans in this area, or let's find the
1:18:14
Speaker 5: affiliates and just you know, talk about these issues and
1:18:17
Speaker 5: try to get people to come out and vote. That's
1:18:19
Speaker 5: something that in the cities that the Democrats are very
1:18:23
Speaker 5: organized on. You know, I believe that we need to
1:18:26
Speaker 5: kind of just recognize the flaws and recognize the.
1:18:28
Speaker 1: Things that we see that's more organized within the party
1:18:31
Speaker 1: along the party structure that you just talk about with
1:18:33
Speaker 1: these different committees. But also we've been made aware of
1:18:37
Speaker 1: and I do believe that it's true a lot of
1:18:39
Speaker 1: the money the city hands out to non governmental organizations
1:18:42
Speaker 1: goes to very left leaning, already well organized NGOs that
1:18:46
Speaker 1: have a very powerful voice as they're going around doing
1:18:48
Speaker 1: their NGO work in the community to spread that left
1:18:51
Speaker 1: wing political message, so that that in and of itself
1:18:54
Speaker 1: comes built into the package when they hire one of
1:18:56
Speaker 1: these groups, doesn't it.
1:18:58
Speaker 5: No, you're actually you're absolutely right, and there's actually something
1:19:01
Speaker 5: that we need to address too, and that that comes
1:19:04
Speaker 5: down to the polling stations, because you know, on election day,
1:19:07
Speaker 5: you know, for me, we were in the West End,
1:19:10
Speaker 5: and you know, whether this is just the Republicans need
1:19:13
Speaker 5: to be more active in these areas as well, or
1:19:15
Speaker 5: we need to kind of address this. But there's a
1:19:17
Speaker 5: lot of government subsidized housing that is in the city.
1:19:21
Speaker 5: And one thing I realized on the election day was
1:19:25
Speaker 5: that the polling stations, a lot of these polling stations
1:19:28
Speaker 5: on election day are in the lobbies of these housing units,
1:19:32
Speaker 5: in the lobbies of these housing units. So people come,
1:19:35
Speaker 5: they come down and because a lot of you know,
1:19:38
Speaker 5: Republican you know, representation or whatever won't go in there
1:19:41
Speaker 5: or won't be in the lobby there, there's a Democrat
1:19:45
Speaker 5: representative that hands them a blue slip. And this specific election,
1:19:50
Speaker 5: a hot topic was benefits and staff benefits and everything,
1:19:53
Speaker 5: and so what every worker was told was that hey,
1:19:56
Speaker 5: every person comes in, you give them the blue sheet.
1:19:58
Speaker 5: You say vote blue, otherwise you're going to.
1:20:00
Speaker 4: Is your benefits.
1:20:02
Speaker 5: And that's just something to where you're guaranteed to have
1:20:05
Speaker 5: thousands of votes right off the bat because the organization. Now,
1:20:09
Speaker 5: you know, I'm in an area to where a lot
1:20:11
Speaker 5: of people rely on these benefits and it's important aspect
1:20:15
Speaker 5: of the community. But at the same time, on the
1:20:17
Speaker 5: other side, if we're to tell people, hey, we need
1:20:19
Speaker 5: to get people off of government assistance, well you have
1:20:22
Speaker 5: to have substitutes. You have to have programs in place
1:20:25
Speaker 5: to be able to give people a leg up, offer jobs,
1:20:27
Speaker 5: offer things. So there's a lot of different sides to
1:20:30
Speaker 5: each of the coins.
1:20:32
Speaker 1: Well, I guess you said they were handing out the
1:20:35
Speaker 1: blue sheets. It's just there was no Republican counterpart there
1:20:38
Speaker 1: doing the same thing with the pink slips. They weren't
1:20:41
Speaker 1: barred from organizations.
1:20:43
Speaker 5: No, they're not barred. So that's the thing that you know,
1:20:46
Speaker 5: I think like when I said that there's a lot
1:20:49
Speaker 5: of different aspects of it. That is one is that
1:20:52
Speaker 5: the organization of the Republican Party. This isn't bad talking
1:20:56
Speaker 5: by the top, It's just I want to encourage everybody
1:20:58
Speaker 5: that lives in the city of Cincinnati getting bald because
1:21:01
Speaker 5: it takes volunteers, it takes poll workers, it takes precinct executives.
1:21:05
Speaker 5: It takes people on every precinct to be able to
1:21:07
Speaker 5: rally people to get out and vote and talk about
1:21:09
Speaker 5: those issues.
1:21:10
Speaker 7: Well.
1:21:10
Speaker 1: Any critical part of the upholding the integrity the vote,
1:21:13
Speaker 1: beyond having a photo ID, which we need in Ohio,
1:21:16
Speaker 1: is having people from both parties work in the Polls's
1:21:18
Speaker 1: why always applaud the poll workers, the folks that are
1:21:21
Speaker 1: signing you in. You got to have Republicans and Democrats
1:21:23
Speaker 1: there to resolve any problems that might crop up with
1:21:25
Speaker 1: regard to improprieties. But moving outside of that component, you
1:21:30
Speaker 1: need volunteers to spread the message and offer the alternative
1:21:33
Speaker 1: by handing out pink slips in areas where they're handing
1:21:35
Speaker 1: out blue slips that should just go without saying, but
1:21:38
Speaker 1: that's party organization and you know, absently the party sort
1:21:42
Speaker 1: of you know, taking the laboring or on spreading the
1:21:45
Speaker 1: word that listen, there are only going to be Democrats
1:21:48
Speaker 1: handing out blue slips unless we get some people in there.
1:21:51
Speaker 1: You know, warning, wait, warning, please volunteer and help us
1:21:54
Speaker 1: do this valuable important work.
1:21:57
Speaker 5: Now you're absolutely right because for me, you know, we
1:22:00
Speaker 5: ran a race last year and we're running as a candidate,
1:22:03
Speaker 5: so we were focused on getting our voice out there.
1:22:05
Speaker 5: But the things I saw behind the scenes this year.
1:22:08
Speaker 5: You know, I've spoken with the leadership of the party
1:22:11
Speaker 5: and everything, and I want to be involved locally to help.
1:22:14
Speaker 5: It's not just about back talking the top. There's a
1:22:17
Speaker 5: lot of people that just do that. I will say
1:22:19
Speaker 5: that a lot of people just simply want to backtalk
1:22:22
Speaker 5: the top of the leadership instead of just getting involved.
1:22:25
Speaker 5: And I would encourage people, instead of just doing that,
1:22:27
Speaker 5: put your money where your mouth is and volunteer at
1:22:30
Speaker 5: these Poland stations because it's not just about organization, it's
1:22:35
Speaker 5: about the numbers of people involved. The numbers of people
1:22:38
Speaker 5: that are actively involved on the other side are more
1:22:41
Speaker 5: and so we've got to change that. And everything that
1:22:44
Speaker 5: they're doing to get their votes is available to get
1:22:47
Speaker 5: you know, on the Republicans side, as far as the organization,
1:22:50
Speaker 5: as far as pink slips, as far as precinct executives,
1:22:53
Speaker 5: as far as the organization goes, we have every ability
1:22:56
Speaker 5: to take advantage of those things as well.
1:22:59
Speaker 8: So we need to do it.
1:23:00
Speaker 5: So this year for twenty six, you know, there's a
1:23:02
Speaker 5: lot of key races going on and I'm just doing
1:23:04
Speaker 5: my best to get the voice out there on these
1:23:07
Speaker 5: issues to get people involved.
1:23:09
Speaker 1: And Republicans are gonna have to labry one doing this
1:23:11
Speaker 1: because they don't have the financial leg up that our
1:23:13
Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars going into city government have when they hand
1:23:16
Speaker 1: out money to NGOs to help them campaign more with
1:23:18
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman. Valet service coming over the RNE? Is it
1:23:21
Speaker 1: coming to the West End? That and other topics with
1:23:23
Speaker 1: former Marrow candidate Corey Bowman. Find his podcast where You
1:23:26
Speaker 1: Get Your Podcasts, produced by Executi producer Joe Strecker. It
1:23:29
Speaker 1: is the Corey Bowman Podcast. Don't go away right back
1:23:31
Speaker 1: after this quick the station seven thirty fifty KO City
1:23:36
Speaker 1: Talk Station. Let me apologize Corey Bowman's on the phone. Corey,
1:23:38
Speaker 1: I looked up and saw the rundown as Joe Strecker
1:23:40
Speaker 1: was telling me he was supposed to be over at
1:23:42
Speaker 1: seven to twenty five. You have to lead to take
1:23:43
Speaker 1: your kids to school, man, If you do, it's okay.
1:23:47
Speaker 5: No, I can stigure oute for a little bit longer,
1:23:49
Speaker 5: for sure. I'm just getting their lunch ready right now.
1:23:52
Speaker 1: Okay, you go ahead and prepare the lunch. Is it
1:23:54
Speaker 1: going into like a Scooby Doo lunch? Box with the
1:23:58
Speaker 1: old thermos in it.
1:23:59
Speaker 5: There we've got We've got Minecraft lunch box, and then
1:24:04
Speaker 5: I've got a game Boy lunchbox.
1:24:06
Speaker 1: They're still out there, the lunchboxes. I'm pleased to hear that. Anyway,
1:24:09
Speaker 1: did you see the over the line? Apparently three CDC
1:24:12
Speaker 1: is going to be offering a free earth a ten
1:24:14
Speaker 1: dollars valet service. You drop your car off in the
1:24:16
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred block of Vine. It will take you anywhere
1:24:18
Speaker 1: in the city for ten bucks. Are they offering this, sir?
1:24:21
Speaker 1: I guess they'll bring people to the West End if
1:24:23
Speaker 1: you want to park there. Did you see this and
1:24:24
Speaker 1: what's your reaction to this? It's I don't trust the people,
1:24:28
Speaker 1: maybe valet parking my car. But anyway, well, I would.
1:24:32
Speaker 5: Say if it's over if it's overseen by three c DC,
1:24:36
Speaker 5: they'll make sure that it's trustworthy. I definitely know that
1:24:39
Speaker 5: for sure. As far as coming over the West End,
1:24:42
Speaker 5: I haven't heard specifically anything on that. I've just heard
1:24:45
Speaker 5: it about the OTR so far, but obviously they probably
1:24:48
Speaker 5: take people over to the West End. Oh yeah, of
1:24:50
Speaker 5: how close we are right across the street. I mean,
1:24:53
Speaker 5: I think that as far as like transportation, downtown. You know,
1:24:57
Speaker 5: during the may oral race, a lot of people are
1:25:00
Speaker 5: very passionate about public transportation in our city, and I
1:25:03
Speaker 5: think that there's this kind of idea that all Republicans
1:25:07
Speaker 5: are just against public transportation in the city. Well, if
1:25:11
Speaker 5: you go to any major city in America, you need
1:25:13
Speaker 5: public transportation, you need ways to get around because parking
1:25:16
Speaker 5: is a little bit more difficult for people visiting, and
1:25:19
Speaker 5: so it's an important aspect of it. But you know,
1:25:22
Speaker 5: I think that as far as the valet service, it
1:25:24
Speaker 5: will probably help a lot of people. The only thing
1:25:27
Speaker 5: that you know, I kind of see it as is
1:25:30
Speaker 5: that three CDC and a lot of organizations like these
1:25:33
Speaker 5: have had to pick up responsibilities that I see city
1:25:37
Speaker 5: services need to be responsible for as far as public
1:25:40
Speaker 5: safety or as far as maintenance of certain properties and
1:25:44
Speaker 5: everything like that. So that's something that I was trying
1:25:47
Speaker 5: to push during the race, is that city services need
1:25:50
Speaker 5: to step up when it comes to certain things. So
1:25:52
Speaker 5: not too much responsibility is on these businesses downtown.
1:25:56
Speaker 1: All right, And in one more issue you're going to
1:25:58
Speaker 1: ask you about, was a meeting yesterday apparently since a
1:26:00
Speaker 1: councilman Mark Jeffries, along with members of the faith community
1:26:04
Speaker 1: and the City of Cincinnati have proposed the creation of
1:26:07
Speaker 1: a brand new fund, the Harm to Hope Cannabis Reinvestment Fund,
1:26:12
Speaker 1: which they want two and a half million dollars that
1:26:14
Speaker 1: the city receives for the recreational marijuana tacks two and
1:26:18
Speaker 1: a half million dollars to fund the activities of this
1:26:21
Speaker 1: new organization to the extent it's created, expungement, led abatement,
1:26:26
Speaker 1: youth employment, and workforce development programs to be applied in
1:26:29
Speaker 1: neighborhoods affected by past marijuana criminal penalties. They say they're
1:26:34
Speaker 1: going to create a community Advisory Board to oversee the
1:26:37
Speaker 1: fund distribution. Another layer, and then I guess, go out
1:26:41
Speaker 1: into the world and do wonderful things. I thought we
1:26:43
Speaker 1: had a lot of entities and organizations that already took
1:26:45
Speaker 1: care of these various elements that they want to pay
1:26:49
Speaker 1: for with the marijuana tacks. Have you do you know
1:26:51
Speaker 1: anything about this and what's your reaction to it? Corey Bowman,
1:26:56
Speaker 1: I think.
1:26:56
Speaker 5: Just broadly I would speak to because you know, as
1:26:59
Speaker 5: far as the organsation, as far as the inner workings
1:27:01
Speaker 5: of that, I have to do some more research to
1:27:03
Speaker 5: make sure that you know we're not speaking out a
1:27:06
Speaker 5: turn here. But I will say this that it's kind
1:27:09
Speaker 5: of the same language of a lot of things that
1:27:11
Speaker 5: we've seen in the past. Community initiatives, nonprofits, organizations, committees,
1:27:16
Speaker 5: a lot of different groups oversight things, and then it's
1:27:19
Speaker 5: all being funded by increasing of taxes. And that's kind
1:27:23
Speaker 5: of the same thing that we just see over and
1:27:25
Speaker 5: over again. All to work on public safety. We don't
1:27:28
Speaker 5: need to really strengthen the police force. We need to
1:27:30
Speaker 5: have a lot of community and initiatives, we need to
1:27:33
Speaker 5: have a lot of nonprofits getting worked on. We need
1:27:35
Speaker 5: to have all these programs for the community, and then
1:27:38
Speaker 5: we funded by increasing taxes or misappropriating funds in our
1:27:42
Speaker 5: city budget. And I just think that we kind of
1:27:44
Speaker 5: got to simplify things, you know. It's I go back
1:27:48
Speaker 5: to these cameras that we're fighting for in the West
1:27:51
Speaker 5: End right now. There's so much red tape and just
1:27:54
Speaker 5: so much, so many middlemen when it comes to this.
1:27:57
Speaker 5: You have to have a committee approved, this, you have
1:27:59
Speaker 5: to do You have to go through CPD, Then you
1:28:01
Speaker 5: have to go through the contractor that supply the cameras well.
1:28:04
Speaker 5: Then they have a separate company that installs the cameras
1:28:06
Speaker 5: and then they have to go through Duke Energy for
1:28:09
Speaker 5: the fire, you know, and then Alti Fiber for the
1:28:11
Speaker 5: fiber for the electric and all these different things. And yeah,
1:28:14
Speaker 5: there's work that you have to go through to get
1:28:16
Speaker 5: these things done. But it just seems like the current
1:28:19
Speaker 5: mindset is more government, more regulation, more red tape, and
1:28:23
Speaker 5: it just it hinders a lot of the efficiency that
1:28:27
Speaker 5: we can see in our city and it's wasting money.
1:28:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they know this in advance. They know the
1:28:32
Speaker 1: hurdles that they have created are going to create create
1:28:35
Speaker 1: impediments to a quick response to getting the cameras up
1:28:38
Speaker 1: in much needed neighborhoods. And yet they promise it and
1:28:41
Speaker 1: you fast forward a couple of years and it still
1:28:43
Speaker 1: hasn't been done. Well, they only have themselves to blame
1:28:45
Speaker 1: for not remembering that they have all the impediments that
1:28:47
Speaker 1: are going to If they started right away to do it,
1:28:50
Speaker 1: it would still delay the projects probably for a year
1:28:52
Speaker 1: or so. But they got that to overcome before they
1:28:54
Speaker 1: can deliver. But they don't even bother lifting a figure
1:28:56
Speaker 1: to start the process. You know, great representation and leader
1:29:00
Speaker 1: we have here in the city.
1:29:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, And I've spoken with the people behind the scenes.
1:29:05
Speaker 5: The guys that are supplying the cameras are very frustrated
1:29:08
Speaker 5: because they can install the cameras, but that gets outsourced
1:29:11
Speaker 5: to another company and then that company has to get
1:29:13
Speaker 5: approved with this or that, and it's just it's taking
1:29:16
Speaker 5: a long time. And this is what people have told me,
1:29:18
Speaker 5: is that this is stuff that we could have proactively
1:29:20
Speaker 5: been working on the last two years, but now we're
1:29:23
Speaker 5: getting placed with all these impossible numbers that we have
1:29:25
Speaker 5: to get done by a certain time period, when it
1:29:28
Speaker 5: could have just been finished over the last few years
1:29:30
Speaker 5: if we will have just proactively been pursuing it. And
1:29:33
Speaker 5: I think that's what has to change, is that we
1:29:35
Speaker 5: don't just find Okay, what is the news making a
1:29:39
Speaker 5: big deal about this week, and that's what we need
1:29:41
Speaker 5: to address. Let's look at potential problems in our city,
1:29:45
Speaker 5: and let's proactively work toward getting it done as quickly
1:29:49
Speaker 5: and efficiently as possible, not just wasting money. Just I mean,
1:29:53
Speaker 5: the type of government that we have right now, they'll
1:29:56
Speaker 5: see a problem and they'll spend forty million dollars just
1:29:59
Speaker 5: for a committee to research what the solution actually is,
1:30:03
Speaker 5: and then six months later that solution will be oh well,
1:30:05
Speaker 5: we need to research more, we need to have a
1:30:08
Speaker 5: separate committee to do this, and it's just like that's
1:30:10
Speaker 5: the type of mentality that we have. Let's just get
1:30:12
Speaker 5: stuff done. And I think a lot of citizens, including
1:30:16
Speaker 5: Democrats in our city, are just very frustrated with this
1:30:19
Speaker 5: because it's simple services, simple.
1:30:22
Speaker 1: Solutions, simple services, simple solutions. Corey Bowman former Mary Old candidate.

1:30:41
Speaker 1: Day to you and you're better at fifty five KRCD
1:30:44
Speaker 1: Talk Station seven Here fifty five KRCD talk Station, Happy Friday.
1:30:50
Speaker 1: After the top of the our News, Secretary of State
1:30:52
Speaker 1: candidate Marcel Sturbage in studio. Is he how GOP trying
1:30:57
Speaker 1: to get him out of the race. We'll ask that,
1:30:59
Speaker 1: questions Marcel and also find out what he's all about,
1:31:01
Speaker 1: what the platform is coming up. Off the top of
1:31:03
Speaker 1: the our News, Fall by Jack Windsor at a thirty
1:31:05
Speaker 1: editor in chief the High Press Network on students skipping
1:31:08
Speaker 1: school to protest and Ohio state professor assaulting a journalist.
1:31:13
Speaker 1: That'd be good combo, and a good combo we always
1:31:14
Speaker 1: have Mississippi. James, Welcome back to the fifty five Carecend
1:31:17
Speaker 1: Morning Show. Happy Friday to you, my friend.
1:31:19
Speaker 4: Hey, Happy Friday. I come in peace. Love everybody. There's
1:31:23
Speaker 4: nothing you can do about it.
1:31:24
Speaker 1: Appreciate that.
1:31:26
Speaker 4: I'm gonna start off by saying, poor Corey Bowman. You know,
1:31:30
Speaker 4: he seemed like such a good man, a focus man.
1:31:33
Speaker 4: But you know the baggage he took a Democrats use
1:31:37
Speaker 4: against him was jd Vance brother in law.
1:31:40
Speaker 7: Yeah, and Trump and all that.
1:31:42
Speaker 4: So I think he got a good message and I
1:31:45
Speaker 4: need to work with him when I get back to Cincinnati. Yeah,
1:31:48
Speaker 4: you know, I like to look him up and sit
1:31:50
Speaker 4: down and have some points.
1:31:52
Speaker 1: And I would, of course he's still listening. I don't
1:31:53
Speaker 1: know if he's on the way to school, but I
1:31:54
Speaker 1: would encourage him to do just that. James. You know,
1:31:57
Speaker 1: and isn't it weird? And I don't get your perspective
1:31:59
Speaker 1: on this because you brought it up that to the
1:32:02
Speaker 1: extent the criticism of Corey because of who his brother is,
1:32:06
Speaker 1: brother of JD. Evans. Anytime you read about him, that
1:32:09
Speaker 1: was what they said. That that works as if he
1:32:12
Speaker 1: is or shares the same thoughts and ideas as his brother.
1:32:14
Speaker 1: He has always maintained his own independence somewhat distance from him.
1:32:17
Speaker 1: But you know it's his brother, it's not Corey. Corey
1:32:21
Speaker 1: is running on his own principles and beliefs. Listen to
1:32:23
Speaker 1: what he has to say and not what you project
1:32:25
Speaker 1: from JD. Vans. Although maybe it did work. I don't know. James.
1:32:30
Speaker 4: Well, you know, when you go through a campaign and
1:32:33
Speaker 4: attacking the other side, you whatever ammunition you had, yeah, yeah, yeah,
1:32:37
Speaker 4: and he sort of popped up. You know, he hadn't
1:32:40
Speaker 4: been on the scene that loan, but now he's getting
1:32:42
Speaker 4: his name out there regular, right. You know, we can
1:32:45
Speaker 4: work on some things that distance from that. And I
1:32:49
Speaker 4: got some strategy because, like I say, right after the election, well,
1:32:53
Speaker 4: actually we put one guy on city council that nobody knew,
1:32:57
Speaker 4: just the fact he made it to that blue slate. Nobody,
1:33:00
Speaker 4: Oh this guy, he's not from Cincinnati, you.
1:33:03
Speaker 1: Know, just own and on the power of the bow slip.
1:33:06
Speaker 4: Hey it is powerful, and you got when you tell
1:33:10
Speaker 4: people's aid the Republic gonna take your benefits away, that's
1:33:14
Speaker 4: an automatic vote for what we have here. But then
1:33:18
Speaker 4: after the election you have to say, Okay, who's the
1:33:22
Speaker 4: money benefiting, which way is it going? What are you getting?
1:33:25
Speaker 4: Because it wasn't a month after the election that you know,
1:33:30
Speaker 4: you still heard the same complaints coming from the complaints
1:33:33
Speaker 4: from the people. That's you know, that's down tried and
1:33:37
Speaker 4: I was looking for a hand up. Nothing changed immediately,
1:33:42
Speaker 4: same old things in the house, bickering and whatnot. Didn't
1:33:46
Speaker 4: get a change. If you want to change, you got
1:33:48
Speaker 4: to make a change.
1:33:50
Speaker 1: Well, James, you know what they say. The definite stupidity
1:33:52
Speaker 1: is doing the same thing over and over again expecting
1:33:54
Speaker 1: a different result. Well there you have it right there.
1:33:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true. And on both I know I stand
1:34:01
Speaker 4: in the middle, so it I have the independent. Oh
1:34:04
Speaker 4: we see the same thing on both sides, you know.
1:34:07
Speaker 1: Right, you're looking for the truth. I mean, it's a
1:34:09
Speaker 1: bunch of swirling lives from all corners of the globe.
1:34:12
Speaker 1: That's ay, James, That's why I love you. I appreciate you.
1:34:14
Speaker 1: Tuning in from Mississippi, looking forward to having you back
1:34:16
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood, and I will encourage Corey Bowman to
1:34:18
Speaker 1: sit down and have a conversation with you. You got
1:34:20
Speaker 1: a good lot of years under your bat.
1:34:21
Speaker 3: The talk station.
1:34:24
Speaker 1: Seven fifty on a Friday, Happy one too. You're gonna
1:34:26
Speaker 1: go to the phone. So youre five one three, seven

Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred and eight hundred and eight
1:34:29
Speaker 1: two three talk tim five fifty on AT and T phone.
1:34:32
Speaker 1: Looks like Maureen was first. Terry, hang on your next morning.
1:34:34
Speaker 1: Welcome back. It's always great to hear from you.
1:34:36
Speaker 2: Happy Friday, Happy Friday, Brian.
1:34:39
Speaker 10: I wanted to have a Valentine's suggestion for people out
1:34:41
Speaker 10: there to do as to go see the movie Millenia.
1:34:45
Speaker 10: I did see it. I took a film course as
1:34:48
Speaker 10: an elective in college and a lot of the things
1:34:51
Speaker 10: I learned from that were really significant. And when I
1:34:53
Speaker 10: saw this movie, there are some not really hidden messages,
1:34:57
Speaker 10: but if you know what to look for and things
1:34:59
Speaker 10: that stand out, it's pretty important what's going on in
1:35:01
Speaker 10: this movie. There's a part of it. I know what
1:35:05
Speaker 10: was tutored to Tuta is being very expensive filming and
1:35:08
Speaker 10: that sort of thing, But there were parts of it
1:35:10
Speaker 10: where her father was taking eight millimeter video footage during
1:35:14
Speaker 10: interspersed parts of this movie, and that was pretty reminiscent
1:35:18
Speaker 10: of I don't know if you remember the Abrahamses Kennedy Yeah,
1:35:23
Speaker 10: septer and so it's very reminiscent of that, which their
1:35:28
Speaker 10: underlying theme, I feel like was Kennedy and the Kennedy
1:35:32
Speaker 10: presidency because behind the scenes it has been talked about
1:35:35
Speaker 10: that President Trump's presidency is to avenge, not avenge, but
1:35:39
Speaker 10: to carry out the Kennedy legacy, as far as getting
1:35:43
Speaker 10: our monetary system in order, changing it over, you know,
1:35:47
Speaker 10: lots of different things, and the.
1:35:49
Speaker 1: Whole Camelot thing, you know, driven largely by the popularity
1:35:52
Speaker 1: of Jackie and Asses Kennedy. I mean, the world loved
1:35:56
Speaker 1: her and spoke highly of her, and she was written
1:35:58
Speaker 1: up in Fashion magazine that she was photographed regularly and
1:36:01
Speaker 1: publicly placed in a positive image. And nobody says a
1:36:04
Speaker 1: word or lifts a finger to support the first lady.
1:36:09
Speaker 1: It's just wild.
1:36:09
Speaker 10: The tiffany blue color that Jackie and Ess or Jackie
1:36:14
Speaker 10: Kennedy wore at the inauguration. Milania did that and channeled
1:36:19
Speaker 10: that in the first inauguration, the second inauguration. There's a
1:36:23
Speaker 10: lot of focus on her outfits. A lot of people
1:36:25
Speaker 10: say that her outfits Millennias are semaphore, which is the
1:36:29
Speaker 10: flag used to send a message.
1:36:31
Speaker 1: And talking to me, you're talking to a guy, Maureene.
1:36:35
Speaker 1: We don't really pay attention to fashion, Okay, I mean,
1:36:38
Speaker 1: I'm just going to stick that out there for people
1:36:39
Speaker 1: who are going, what is shit going on about? I
1:36:42
Speaker 1: got you covered, guys, I mean something.
1:36:44
Speaker 10: I ask if yeah, they mean something. And the beef
1:36:47
Speaker 10: for Bendetta outfit that she wore at this inauguration.
1:36:50
Speaker 1: I'm channeling Van Morrison. You know, all the women dressed
1:36:53
Speaker 1: up for each other as opposed to dressed up for
1:36:55
Speaker 1: the guys, because the guys aren't paying attention to anything
1:36:58
Speaker 1: other than physical attributes. You got a prop from my
1:37:01
Speaker 1: mom on the movie to Maureene. She saw it and
1:37:03
Speaker 1: she really thoroughly enjoyed it, although I don't think she
1:37:05
Speaker 1: was looking into it as deeply as you are. But
1:37:07
Speaker 1: there's your homework assignment, Maureene. Thank you so much. See
1:37:09
Speaker 1: what Terry's got this morning, Terry, welcome to the morning showing.
1:37:12
Speaker 1: Happy Friday to you.
1:37:14
Speaker 11: Hey, Brian, great talking to you. Talk to your dad
1:37:17
Speaker 11: years ago. I went on an honor flight with you
1:37:19
Speaker 11: a couple of years ago. Oh no, but I want
1:37:21
Speaker 11: to touch base. Yeah, I wanted to touch base about
1:37:24
Speaker 11: that commercial you just had about the electron electric vehicles.
1:37:28
Speaker 11: As a proponent of that, I'm that person. I'm that
1:37:31
Speaker 11: person that drives about forty forty miles, you know, to
1:37:35
Speaker 11: and from work and stuff. Yeah, I have an electric
1:37:37
Speaker 11: car that I charge. I charge it about once or
1:37:39
Speaker 11: twice a week. I drive it all over the city.
1:37:43
Speaker 1: Yep.
1:37:44
Speaker 6: Not, you know, I'm not.
1:37:45
Speaker 11: I'm not a full time driver. I'm that guy that's
1:37:47
Speaker 11: coming back and forth to work. But I love it,
1:37:50
Speaker 11: and I love not buying gas. I love not having
1:37:53
Speaker 11: to change you oil.
1:37:54
Speaker 3: I get it.
1:37:55
Speaker 11: And I know you you're sort of against it because
1:37:57
Speaker 11: of the tax stuff and the way they sort of.
1:37:59
Speaker 1: Shove you are a true example of market forces. Under
1:38:04
Speaker 1: your life circumstances, you would gravitate toward one for a
1:38:08
Speaker 1: variety of reasons. And I'll mean as a car guy,
1:38:10
Speaker 1: I think they're awesome technologically speaking. From zero to sixty
1:38:14
Speaker 1: in less than two seconds for the Tesla Plaid, that's
1:38:16
Speaker 1: mind blowing, brother, And I wish my car had that
1:38:19
Speaker 1: kind of performance. But it doesn't because it's an internal
1:38:21
Speaker 1: combustion engine.
1:38:23
Speaker 11: But I didn't buy a Tesla. I bought a Ford,
1:38:27
Speaker 11: and it's this isn't top, this isn't top of the line.
1:38:30
Speaker 11: I bought the lower model. It's it's it was cheap
1:38:33
Speaker 11: and easy. What I didn't what I don't like, is
1:38:35
Speaker 11: when you go to pay for your new registration, you
1:38:37
Speaker 11: have to pay your gas tax. My registration's like three
1:38:40
Speaker 11: hundred dollars, which you know you gotta You gotta pay
1:38:43
Speaker 11: for the road you drive on and pay for through
1:38:46
Speaker 11: the gas tax. But for me, it's the perfect fit.
1:38:50
Speaker 11: Now I have a gas car, don't get me wrong.
1:38:51
Speaker 11: For long trips and we go to lex Internal Louisville
1:38:54
Speaker 11: or I could drive this there. But but for longer
1:38:58
Speaker 11: trips going to West Virginia things like that, I dride
1:39:00
Speaker 11: the gas car. But this thing, for what I do,
1:39:03
Speaker 11: it's the perfect site. And it's not it's so convenient.
1:39:09
Speaker 1: Terry, you don't hear me. I'm not arguing with you.
1:39:11
Speaker 1: You do not hear me. That's why it has great attributes,
1:39:14
Speaker 1: which should be the selling point in and of themselves.
1:39:17
Speaker 1: I don't believe in subsidies and of course, the dangling
1:39:20
Speaker 1: carrative federal subsidies is often the reason people choose that.
1:39:23
Speaker 1: But yeah, I also note and for those out there
1:39:25
Speaker 1: who are struggling to buy a single car, you do
1:39:29
Speaker 1: have the internal combustion engine option for those longer trips.
1:39:32
Speaker 1: Many people are not in a position to buy two cars.
1:39:35
Speaker 1: So he know, if I'm coming up eight o six,
1:39:39
Speaker 1: if you buy ker CD talk station. He's in studio.
1:39:43
Speaker 1: He's promised not to drop the S word. He is
1:39:46
Speaker 1: Marcel Sturbadge. He's running for Secretary of State. We've got
1:39:48
Speaker 1: a primary coming up here to Ohio, and there are
1:39:51
Speaker 1: two people to choose from, at least according to the
1:39:53
Speaker 1: secretary of State's webpage right now, that will be on
1:39:55
Speaker 1: the Republican side of the letter. My guest today Marcel
1:39:58
Speaker 1: Sturbadge and Robert Sprague. We're gonna out from Marcel y
1:40:01
Speaker 1: he is the better choice. At least he's going to
1:40:02
Speaker 1: try to convince you of that, and he promised he
1:40:05
Speaker 1: will explain himself as opposed to blowing up and leaving
1:40:08
Speaker 1: the morning show studio. Welcome Marcel Sturvich. It's great having
1:40:11
Speaker 1: you in the studio.
1:40:14
Speaker 12: Hey, good morning, and thanks for having me and yes,
1:40:16
Speaker 12: I will keep it a pc for you in our audience.
1:40:19
Speaker 1: Even though you are a highly decorated twenty year Air
1:40:23
Speaker 1: Force veteran, Marcel Sturbage probably served his country and I
1:40:26
Speaker 1: salute you for that. You can find him online. It's
1:40:30
Speaker 1: s t R B I c H the word for
1:40:34
Speaker 1: Sturbage for Ohio dot com. Just Trekker posted a link
1:40:37
Speaker 1: to that website on my fifty five KCY Morning show.
1:40:39
Speaker 1: First and foremost, I know in terms of your your resume,
1:40:43
Speaker 1: your Crookland VTA family number one. You have a beautiful family, sir,
1:40:46
Speaker 1: and I congratulate you.
1:40:48
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's my best part, and that's a motivator for me.
1:40:50
Speaker 12: You know, serving twenty years going across the Horn of Africa,
1:40:54
Speaker 12: I Raq, Afghanistan, and then working my way up to
1:40:57
Speaker 12: the Pentagon and handling the upgraded modernization of our information
1:41:00
Speaker 12: systems which we fell behind in terms of our abilities,
1:41:04
Speaker 12: was probably my professional peak. And then coming into Ohio,
1:41:09
Speaker 12: living here in Montgomery County and seeing where we've come
1:41:13
Speaker 12: as a country in the last five years with people's
1:41:16
Speaker 12: loss of confidence and trust in various aspects of government,
1:41:19
Speaker 12: but specifically elections, was something that caused great concern, and
1:41:23
Speaker 12: I had to experience the military's transition from twenty twenty
1:41:26
Speaker 12: into DEI, which I pushed back against medical mandates, and
1:41:30
Speaker 12: that really caused me to get active politically. And I
1:41:34
Speaker 12: realized in coming to Ohio that there are many aspects
1:41:37
Speaker 12: of our election systems that are loose that we have
1:41:39
Speaker 12: to fix. And I'm not running to build a political career.
1:41:42
Speaker 12: I'm not running for a title. I don't need that.
1:41:44
Speaker 12: I'm a dad, I'm a retired lieutenant colonel. I am
1:41:47
Speaker 12: running to fix problems in election systems and to address
1:41:50
Speaker 12: government benefits fraud programs, because the Secretary of State could
1:41:53
Speaker 12: actually do something about that if we can get somebody
1:41:56
Speaker 12: that isn't just rotating seats.
1:41:58
Speaker 1: Well, it sounds like you want to hit the groundrunning
1:42:00
Speaker 1: at your website again, sturbage for Ohio. Under your priorities
1:42:03
Speaker 1: they are one day one vote number one on the
1:42:06
Speaker 1: list voter ID required to register and vote in the
1:42:08
Speaker 1: state of Ohio under the Ohio Election Integrity Bill of
1:42:11
Speaker 1: Rights that you are push. You are pushing so explain
1:42:14
Speaker 1: that curse timing couldn't be better given me the Save
1:42:17
Speaker 1: Act being discussed in Congress, and might that impact the
1:42:21
Speaker 1: bill that you're pushing for here in a lot.
1:42:23
Speaker 12: Well, certainly Congress has shown over the past thirty years
1:42:25
Speaker 12: that they're incapable of addressing issues with elections, and I
1:42:28
Speaker 12: won't put I wouldn't put it on the US Senate
1:42:30
Speaker 12: to address this. This is like going two times in
1:42:32
Speaker 12: a row you hit your head against the wall same
1:42:34
Speaker 12: time expecting a different results.
1:42:36
Speaker 1: But in Ohio, we don't have to have that issue.
1:42:38
Speaker 12: See, we have a supermajority legislature, and we have the
1:42:41
Speaker 12: ability of veto proof to do these things. What we
1:42:44
Speaker 12: need is some political will. We need a political outsider
1:42:47
Speaker 12: like myself instead. What's happening is we consistently see these
1:42:50
Speaker 12: career politicians rotating who've been in the system, who trade
1:42:53
Speaker 12: favors for endorsements. Man, they haven't They've led to unimpressive
1:42:57
Speaker 12: results week leadership. And that's why you know we're within
1:43:01
Speaker 12: ninety days of this primary election. I really want those
1:43:04
Speaker 12: of you who are tired of that system to choose
1:43:07
Speaker 12: somebody who has something to offer. Again, I have the
1:43:09
Speaker 12: skill sets, I have the background with national security. I
1:43:13
Speaker 12: understand that we have to protect these systems, and I
1:43:15
Speaker 12: really just want to introduce a system where we verify
1:43:18
Speaker 12: eligibility of people before we put them on the voter
1:43:21
Speaker 12: rolls concept, and that is something that can be done
1:43:25
Speaker 12: within short order and the Secretary of State can do that.
1:43:28
Speaker 12: And that's how we ensure that our vote is protected. Yes,
1:43:30
Speaker 12: one day, one vote, so let's vote in person, same day.
1:43:34
Speaker 12: And for those who can't make it to the polling location,
1:43:37
Speaker 12: let's have a qualified reason. But that's acceptable. And if
1:43:40
Speaker 12: we come up with that type of system, and then
1:43:41
Speaker 12: we also flush out third party voter groups who don't
1:43:44
Speaker 12: have business being involved in our elections when it comes
1:43:48
Speaker 12: to handling ballots and registration for ballot harvesting, then I
1:43:51
Speaker 12: think we'll get back to a point of trust and confidence.
1:43:53
Speaker 1: Indeed, and the other component of this which has been
1:43:56
Speaker 1: lurking beneath the surface of this election integrity discussion, what
1:44:00
Speaker 1: is it Fulton County, Georgia where they're finding all kinds
1:44:03
Speaker 1: of problems in connection with the electronic voting machines. The
1:44:06
Speaker 1: records don't reflect consistency. The more votes came in, then
1:44:08
Speaker 1: we're counted, or more we're counted than came in, and
1:44:11
Speaker 1: then the specter of g are our elections being changed
1:44:16
Speaker 1: with the electronic voting machines. You suggest as a matter
1:44:19
Speaker 1: of your platform, let's just get rid of them.
1:44:21
Speaker 12: Yeah, what you know with respect to that, if you're
1:44:24
Speaker 12: not audio visually impaired, why can't you just fill out
1:44:27
Speaker 12: a pre printed handmark paper ballot. It costs tens of
1:44:30
Speaker 12: millions of dollars less than Ohio. You can put a
1:44:32
Speaker 12: watermark on it. That's anti tamper proof, and that's really
1:44:36
Speaker 12: the main way for us to have oversight and security
1:44:39
Speaker 12: over the balance themselves. So this is something that a
1:44:42
Speaker 12: lot of people have not had access to these voting
1:44:45
Speaker 12: systems for many years. We should have given third party,
1:44:47
Speaker 12: independent security assessors the opportunity to look at those but
1:44:51
Speaker 12: you know, the voting system vendors have been proprietary, meaning
1:44:54
Speaker 12: they don't allow others to access those systems.
1:44:56
Speaker 1: You can't see the code, right, I mean, how can
1:44:58
Speaker 1: you assure election in Tegary if they will allow you
1:45:00
Speaker 1: to review the code that goes into tabulating the votes.
1:45:04
Speaker 1: That should be a matter of contractual agreement. If you
1:45:07
Speaker 1: are going to be the provider of systems, you must
1:45:10
Speaker 1: subject of confidential out. This contract provides you you must
1:45:14
Speaker 1: provide state authorities with the code exactly.
1:45:17
Speaker 12: Look in Venezuela. They created systems. Going back twenty years,
1:45:20
Speaker 12: we understood that Chavez regime used electronic management software to
1:45:23
Speaker 12: flip votes. Those systems and many of them were sold
1:45:26
Speaker 12: outside of Venezuela. Those folks that created that system came
1:45:30
Speaker 12: to the United States, they incorporated their businesses. These are
1:45:34
Speaker 12: systems that are from twenty years ago. They don't they
1:45:36
Speaker 12: don't currently meet security controls of twenty twenty five. The
1:45:41
Speaker 12: time and the place that we now live in and
1:45:44
Speaker 12: the level of threat that we face. So I don't
1:45:46
Speaker 12: focus too much on the machines. To be honest with you,
1:45:48
Speaker 12: there's an aspect of efficiency when it comes to hand
1:45:52
Speaker 12: that not handcounting. I should say the vote counting.
1:45:54
Speaker 1: Clearly, yeah, and that's faster.
1:45:56
Speaker 12: It's faster, right, And so people have tried to distort
1:45:59
Speaker 12: and say my position is I want to impose a
1:46:01
Speaker 12: handcout method on all eighty eight counties.
1:46:03
Speaker 11: And this is not true.
1:46:04
Speaker 12: That's just what my opponent, who's desperate and who's taking
1:46:06
Speaker 12: my positions now because he's losing in this race. I'm
1:46:09
Speaker 12: up eight points. That's unheard of. I took a poll
1:46:12
Speaker 12: with eight hundred and nineteen likely registered primary voters. I'm
1:46:15
Speaker 12: doing that with less money because my methods, my message,
1:46:18
Speaker 12: excuse me, is authentic, okay, and you can't manufacture authenticity
1:46:22
Speaker 12: in politics. So and I'm dynamic and that is why
1:46:25
Speaker 12: I am the most capable candidate and we should start
1:46:28
Speaker 12: electing people on capability, not based on patronage.
1:46:32
Speaker 1: Like that message very much. Marcel Sturbridge Sturbage for Ohio
1:46:36
Speaker 1: dot Com. Have you had interactions with the party elitees
1:46:40
Speaker 1: if I can refer to them as as such.
1:46:43
Speaker 12: I always interact with a variety of folks in that arena.
1:46:48
Speaker 12: What I would say is, you know, I've had so
1:46:50
Speaker 12: much success in this race that recently I received a
1:46:52
Speaker 12: call from a Central Committee member asking if I wanted
1:46:55
Speaker 12: to take a position within Secretary of State. I was
1:46:58
Speaker 12: interested in that that a conversation could be had with
1:47:02
Speaker 12: key officials in the party and if I would be
1:47:04
Speaker 12: willing to suspend this campaign. And I just thought that
1:47:07
Speaker 12: is not the will of the people. And I was
1:47:11
Speaker 12: just detested by the idea, and overall I spoke out
1:47:14
Speaker 12: about it on social media. And it's very important that
1:47:17
Speaker 12: people do not take those kind of deals if they're offered,
1:47:20
Speaker 12: because this isn't about I'm not for sale. That's the
1:47:23
Speaker 12: bottom line.
1:47:24
Speaker 1: Oh, that is a strong message in and of itself.
1:47:26
Speaker 1: Is just like one of the like the on the
1:47:28
Speaker 1: waterfront conversation, it's not your night, Marcelle. You know, you
1:47:31
Speaker 1: got to take a dive for the broader team and
1:47:33
Speaker 1: for the effort. Is that one of those deals.
1:47:35
Speaker 12: I think some people think that way, Brian. I think
1:47:38
Speaker 12: you know, people get used to and have relationships in politics.
1:47:42
Speaker 12: I'm learning this for the first time. You know, I
1:47:43
Speaker 12: didn't go into this gullible. You ever wonder why people
1:47:45
Speaker 12: don't go in It's because they got to navigate these
1:47:48
Speaker 12: type of things. And yeah, and it's not always It's
1:47:51
Speaker 12: not like a job interview, You're going to go work
1:47:53
Speaker 12: for Procter and Gamble. You know, it's you know, where
1:47:55
Speaker 12: have you worked? What have you done? It has more
1:47:57
Speaker 12: to do with have you paid your dues? I paid
1:47:59
Speaker 12: My do is to my country, okay, And I've seen
1:48:02
Speaker 12: a heck of a lot in twenty years. And so
1:48:05
Speaker 12: I'm doing this so I can give Ohio real leadership,
1:48:08
Speaker 12: selfless leadership, not about personal advancement, and that I think
1:48:13
Speaker 12: is a unique and rare quality when somebody steps up
1:48:15
Speaker 12: to do that, and that's why this is that's why
1:48:19
Speaker 12: we're having mark success and I think we're going to
1:48:21
Speaker 12: win on the primary May fifth, twenty twenty six, if
1:48:23
Speaker 12: Ohio voters want to see this change.
1:48:25
Speaker 1: Well, lending significant credibility to your philosophy and your motivations
1:48:30
Speaker 1: to run. You spent twenty years in America's military. You
1:48:33
Speaker 1: didn't sign up for a big six figure job, fat
1:48:36
Speaker 1: paying job. You signed up to protect America from its enemies,
1:48:39
Speaker 1: both domestic and foreign. And you served in combat, and
1:48:42
Speaker 1: you went on countless missions, and you are highly decorated.
1:48:45
Speaker 1: This is just it seems to me. And you can
1:48:47
Speaker 1: tell me I'm wrong, but it seems logical that running
1:48:49
Speaker 1: for high office is an extension of your commitment to
1:48:52
Speaker 1: the people.
1:48:53
Speaker 12: I always felt like, if you're going to be in
1:48:55
Speaker 12: any form of elected office or appointed, it has to
1:48:58
Speaker 12: be selfless, right, people expect more of you in that regard.
1:49:01
Speaker 12: So this is our ethos in the military. We have
1:49:04
Speaker 12: this ethos of selflessness. That's why we're willing to give
1:49:08
Speaker 12: up our lives if need be. And that's why I
1:49:10
Speaker 12: think society does recognize that. And I'm grateful when I
1:49:13
Speaker 12: do go around and people thank me for that, but
1:49:17
Speaker 12: I also don't want that to be just what defines me.
1:49:20
Speaker 12: We're all defined Brian on purpose in our task, and
1:49:23
Speaker 12: we all have to understand that in life we have
1:49:26
Speaker 12: to give back. The other generations are waiting for leaders
1:49:28
Speaker 12: to step up. I'm forty four years old almost so
1:49:31
Speaker 12: I've got the youth, I've got the energy. I've gone
1:49:32
Speaker 12: to fifty different counties, I've enlisted hundreds of volunteers. If
1:49:36
Speaker 12: you look at the twenty twenty sixth election, Republicans have
1:49:39
Speaker 12: an enthusiasm deficit. The reason to have an enthusiasm deficit
1:49:43
Speaker 12: is because they're recycling career, empty suit politicians and now
1:49:46
Speaker 12: they need somebody who doesn't have that mindset, who's engaging
1:49:49
Speaker 12: with the people and as not afraid to sling it
1:49:52
Speaker 12: out there and take the questions and be dynamic. And
1:49:55
Speaker 12: that's why this is going to work out in the
1:49:58
Speaker 12: end year.
1:50:00
Speaker 1: Several of my regular callers going, yeah, that's exactly right.
1:50:03
Speaker 1: Eight sixteen Right now more with Marcel Sturbage Sturbadge for
1:50:06
Speaker 1: Ohio dot com, linkol the blog page fifty five krcy
1:50:09
Speaker 1: dot com. Be back after these brief words here see
1:50:12
Speaker 1: the talk station. It's eight twenty fifty five KCC talk
1:50:18
Speaker 1: station fashionating conversation with veteran and of course more importantly,
1:50:23
Speaker 1: Secretary of State candidate Marcel Sturbadge Again, It's Sturbadge st
1:50:26
Speaker 1: rbic H four Ohio dot com and off the air.
1:50:29
Speaker 1: You were really talking about the importance of the Secretary
1:50:33
Speaker 1: of State's business portfolio. And as Secretary of State, you
1:50:35
Speaker 1: are responsible for management a lot of the businesses and
1:50:38
Speaker 1: what is the importance you wanted to stress for the
1:50:41
Speaker 1: listening audience and potential voters for you, Marcel.
1:50:43
Speaker 12: Every year over one hundred thousand businesses are formed in
1:50:45
Speaker 12: Ohio and every single business has to be registered, and
1:50:48
Speaker 12: so the Secretary of State plays a critical role in
1:50:50
Speaker 12: facilitating business registration. It's done online and it's it's gained
1:50:54
Speaker 12: even more notoriety or importance because, as we've learned in
1:50:57
Speaker 12: the last year, a number of businesses have been for
1:51:00
Speaker 12: than the state of Ohio that have tagged onto government
1:51:03
Speaker 12: benefits programs, whether that be daycare, home health, trucker services,
1:51:08
Speaker 12: and we have found that that has become a venue,
1:51:11
Speaker 12: unfortunately for levels of fraudulent activities.
1:51:14
Speaker 1: See Minnesota, Yes, E, Columbus Yes. The Cincinnati and so.
1:51:19
Speaker 12: What has to happen and what I propose as a
1:51:21
Speaker 12: Secretary of State is to utilize the information systems that
1:51:25
Speaker 12: involve registering these businesses and create a process and identify
1:51:31
Speaker 12: criteria for us to evaluate what could be questionable businesses.
1:51:36
Speaker 12: So you can't prevent a business from being formed in Ohio,
1:51:38
Speaker 12: but what you could do is you can conduct a
1:51:40
Speaker 12: review in conjunction with the Public Integrity Division, and you
1:51:44
Speaker 12: can assess whether some of these businesses are in some
1:51:48
Speaker 12: former manner, improperly conducting themselves, or in some criminal manner.
1:51:53
Speaker 12: So what needs to happen in the state of Ohio
1:51:55
Speaker 12: and what I would like to play a role in
1:51:57
Speaker 12: helping lead if elected Secretary of State in the primary
1:52:00
Speaker 12: here is coming up May fifth, twenty twenty six, is
1:52:03
Speaker 12: I would like us task force to be stood up.
1:52:05
Speaker 12: I participated in a task force in the Department of
1:52:07
Speaker 12: Defense in the Capital Region that involved counterterror and counterthreat finance.
1:52:11
Speaker 12: We need something similar where the governor establishes a task force,
1:52:15
Speaker 12: the Secretary of State uses the Public Integrity Division identifies
1:52:18
Speaker 12: questionable activity, the Attorney General uses the Medicare Control Fraud Unit,
1:52:22
Speaker 12: the one hundred or so investigators that they have the
1:52:25
Speaker 12: auditor uses, the statutes and the means that are done
1:52:28
Speaker 12: in conjunction with that Attorney General. And take for example
1:52:30
Speaker 12: a cabinet agency like the Department of Youth and Children
1:52:33
Speaker 12: which is responsible for that licensing and judicating and inspecting
1:52:38
Speaker 12: some of these daycares for example. We all need to
1:52:41
Speaker 12: work as one because, as we know Brian, individual government
1:52:44
Speaker 12: bureaucracies have limited in specific authorities and when things take
1:52:48
Speaker 12: place that are fraudulent, they usually look at the other
1:52:50
Speaker 12: department and they say, oh, but that's yours. And the
1:52:53
Speaker 12: reality is they all have about ten percent of the puzzle,
1:52:56
Speaker 12: and so what needs to happen is in conjunction. They
1:52:58
Speaker 12: all need to work as one. And if we don't
1:53:00
Speaker 12: stand up a joint interagency task force, call it whatever
1:53:02
Speaker 12: you want, like ICE is doing these task forces across
1:53:05
Speaker 12: the country, then we will never get at this problem
1:53:08
Speaker 12: and we will continue to be exploited to the tunes
1:53:10
Speaker 12: of billions of dollars.
1:53:11
Speaker 1: That is brilliant right there, marcel I got to applaud
1:53:13
Speaker 1: you for that concept. Gee, what an interesting and so
1:53:16
Speaker 1: ridiculous concept. Working together, shared services of government coordinating together
1:53:21
Speaker 1: for one ultimate end, which is the benefit of the constituents. Wow.
1:53:26
Speaker 1: And then you got a governor like the Wan who says, well,
1:53:28
Speaker 1: this is just part of doing business, this whole fraud thing,
1:53:31
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, if you got a government program, well
1:53:33
Speaker 1: it's just gonna happen. It doesn't have to happen. We
1:53:35
Speaker 1: have artificial intelligence at work here. We can cross reference
1:53:38
Speaker 1: numbers and match those security numbers and find out who's
1:53:40
Speaker 1: dead and alive. It isn't that challenging these days. I
1:53:43
Speaker 1: would imagine.
1:53:44
Speaker 12: Look, if a YouTube influencer can get out however many millions,
1:53:48
Speaker 12: tens of millions of views and go out there and
1:53:49
Speaker 12: put eyeballs on, are you telling me that multi million
1:53:53
Speaker 12: or multi billion dollar government agencies can't put their heads together?
1:53:56
Speaker 1: You know what it takes.
1:53:57
Speaker 12: It takes a political outsider like me, somebody who's done
1:54:00
Speaker 12: this as a mission already and has the knowledge of
1:54:03
Speaker 12: how to initiate this to be able to be given
1:54:05
Speaker 12: the authority and in the team to do it. I
1:54:08
Speaker 12: know how to lead teams. I've been an organizational leader
1:54:11
Speaker 12: both in peacetime and war. I've had tactical, operational, strategic assignments.
1:54:16
Speaker 12: That's why I signed up. That's why I'm asking you
1:54:18
Speaker 12: to deploy me and assign me to Columbus for this
1:54:20
Speaker 12: task of four years as the next Secretary of State,
1:54:22
Speaker 12: to get at the problem of government benefits fraud, to
1:54:25
Speaker 12: get at the problem of voter registration fraud, for example
1:54:27
Speaker 12: in Hamilton County. We need something to move quickly on this,
1:54:32
Speaker 12: otherwise people will continue to drift.
1:54:34
Speaker 1: Strong leadership is what I'm here in Marcel. It's gounds great.
1:54:37
Speaker 1: That's why maybe need a military guy. Someone is strong leadership,
1:54:40
Speaker 1: who's done this before in different capacities, mind you, but
1:54:43
Speaker 1: can herd the cats that are Columbus in Columbus right now, Marcel,
1:54:47
Speaker 1: that's what we need. Someone who's I have lamented now
1:54:50
Speaker 1: forever and everybody knows what's coming. Why is Columbus so
1:54:53
Speaker 1: damned dysfunctional when it's run almost exclusively by Republican Do
1:54:56
Speaker 1: you think they be unified in mission, unified and goal
1:54:59
Speaker 1: well well machine, limited government, fiscal responsibility, free markets, it's
1:55:03
Speaker 1: all normal and regular. Yet they fight amongst themselves constantly, Marcel,
1:55:07
Speaker 1: I don't get it.
1:55:07
Speaker 12: It's a quality and caliber of the people. If they're
1:55:10
Speaker 12: there for personal advancement, if they're there to somehow coordinate
1:55:14
Speaker 12: one another, then The mentality is they don't want to
1:55:16
Speaker 12: call each other out because they're always thinking, well, after
1:55:19
Speaker 12: this assignment, where am I going to go? And can
1:55:21
Speaker 12: I make it to the governor? Can I make it
1:55:22
Speaker 12: to the US Senate. So that's the inherent issue that
1:55:24
Speaker 12: I see. It doesn't matter if you put an R
1:55:26
Speaker 12: or a D or an L next to them. Those
1:55:28
Speaker 12: are just labels. And you know, every time we get
1:55:31
Speaker 12: to the general it's like, don't vote for the other
1:55:33
Speaker 12: side because the other side's more evil. People are tired
1:55:35
Speaker 12: of that argument. They just want to know, do you
1:55:37
Speaker 12: have the capability, do you have the will? What are
1:55:40
Speaker 12: you saying you're going to do? And are you going
1:55:41
Speaker 12: to do what you're going to say? And that's why
1:55:42
Speaker 12: I think some are are cautious about this assent that
1:55:44
Speaker 12: we're having a success in this campaign, because I think
1:55:47
Speaker 12: they believe Brian. They know I'm going to do what
1:55:49
Speaker 12: I say I'm going to do, and that's a terrifying
1:55:52
Speaker 12: prospect if you believe in status quo, right, So if
1:55:54
Speaker 12: that's a positive disruption and that's a positive change, so
1:55:58
Speaker 12: be it. I'm all for that. And I think that
1:56:00
Speaker 12: the vast majority of seven point eight million registered Ohio
1:56:04
Speaker 12: voters are all for it, and I think I'm going
1:56:06
Speaker 12: to get votes well beyond the Republicans because this is
1:56:08
Speaker 12: about common sense in Ohioans or common sense voters.
1:56:11
Speaker 1: Will you sound like a person who'd be more than
1:56:12
Speaker 1: willing to call out and hold people accountable regardless of
1:56:15
Speaker 1: political stripe, and perhaps that makes them nervous.
1:56:17
Speaker 12: Marcel correct, I'm not a yes man, and I don't
1:56:21
Speaker 12: surround myself with yes man. I actually like critical thinkers,
1:56:23
Speaker 12: and the way you build great teams is you build
1:56:25
Speaker 12: smarter people than you and you put them in there.
1:56:30
Speaker 1: Well, green light from Brian Thomas, Marcel brilliant. I just
1:56:33
Speaker 1: really thoroughly enjoyed your very, very informed and thoughtful analysis
1:56:37
Speaker 1: of your role as Secretary of State eight thirty two
1:56:42
Speaker 1: on a Friday, Hapfy Friday to you, Brian Thomas. Well,
1:56:45
Speaker 1: phone lines are open. Sadly, I'm going to have run
1:56:49
Speaker 1: out of faith in uh Jack windsor apparently slept in
1:56:52
Speaker 1: again today. Joe's trying to reach him and was unsuccessful
1:56:55
Speaker 1: in that. I apologize because he's a pretty brilliant guy.
1:56:58
Speaker 1: So maybe get your thoughts in comments about schools well,
1:57:01
Speaker 1: letting kids out to protest got some interesting contrary. You're
1:57:05
Speaker 1: reading on the paper that all these kids are coming
1:57:07
Speaker 1: out in protesting. It sounds like all of them. I
1:57:11
Speaker 1: had one listener say none. No, they'll only show you
1:57:13
Speaker 1: the one hundred people who walked out of the school
1:57:14
Speaker 1: at a school of sixteen hundred kids where my child
1:57:17
Speaker 1: goes the vast majority of and we're inside making fun
1:57:20
Speaker 1: of the protesters outside. Five one three, seven, fifty five hundred,
1:57:24
Speaker 1: eight hundred two three Talk found five fifty on eight
1:57:26
Speaker 1: and t funds don't forget fifty five kc dot com.
1:57:28
Speaker 1: I apologize for yesterday. We lost a server here and
1:57:31
Speaker 1: therefore the iHeartMedia app was not working yesterday, which means
1:57:34
Speaker 1: a lot of people couldn't hear my conversation with Casey Putch,
1:57:36
Speaker 1: who's running for governor of the state of Ohio. He
1:57:39
Speaker 1: had a little upset. I acknowledged to him that, as
1:57:42
Speaker 1: everybody knows, I'm a fan of vv grama swamming and
1:57:45
Speaker 1: giving him an opportunity to tell me why I'm wrong,
1:57:47
Speaker 1: which is the idea of informed debate. Steady lost it
1:57:52
Speaker 1: and used the S word on my program and then
1:57:54
Speaker 1: hung up. So part of that was miss if you
1:57:57
Speaker 1: were listening terrestrial audio. Due to the dump button. We
1:57:59
Speaker 1: lose like an on like a minute plus of airtime
1:58:02
Speaker 1: because it goes back and deletes everything that led up
1:58:05
Speaker 1: to the FCC violation. So you didn't get to hear
1:58:07
Speaker 1: the full context Joe Strecker. Of course, naturally, executive producers
1:58:11
Speaker 1: put the whole conversation up and he scrambled the S word.
1:58:15
Speaker 1: So we're in compliance online as well on the blog
1:58:17
Speaker 1: page or on the podcast page fifty five Casey dot com.
1:58:20
Speaker 1: So check it out for yourself. I just I, oh,
1:58:24
Speaker 1: I just couldn't really believe it. I again, I thought
1:58:28
Speaker 1: I was being nice. I thought I was being honest
1:58:31
Speaker 1: and telling him something that I've said out loud so
1:58:33
Speaker 1: many times on the morning show to provide context for
1:58:36
Speaker 1: the man. And then he could say, no, no, no,
1:58:37
Speaker 1: here's why you're wrong. That's certainly not where that went.
1:58:41
Speaker 1: Let's get the phones. Got Andrew Pappis, former Anderson Township
1:58:44
Speaker 1: trustee on Dave hold on, I'll get you next that promise, Drew,
1:58:47
Speaker 1: welcome back.
1:58:49
Speaker 6: You know what, Brian, I just want to say this,
1:58:52
Speaker 6: as Casey putch, I just want to go let's go
1:58:54
Speaker 6: in this direction, Brian, Let's just put the direction. Ye,
1:59:00
Speaker 6: you have to hang up on me.
1:59:02
Speaker 1: Now, I'm not going to hang up buddy, man, you
1:59:04
Speaker 1: want to tell you, I'm.
1:59:05
Speaker 11: Going to hang up on you now, say like that direction.
1:59:10
Speaker 6: That's called pu tz dot com.
1:59:13
Speaker 1: But you heard it live yesterday, did you?
1:59:20
Speaker 8: Actually?
1:59:20
Speaker 5: You know what?
1:59:21
Speaker 6: Because like you said, you guys lost a server or something,
1:59:24
Speaker 6: so they went to some twenty four to seven news
1:59:26
Speaker 6: and I was like pulling my hair out. But anyhow,
1:59:30
Speaker 6: I got to tell you, listen, just this is a
1:59:32
Speaker 6: brief aside. I won't take long.
1:59:34
Speaker 5: Listen.
1:59:35
Speaker 6: I'm sure he might have some really good ideas or
1:59:37
Speaker 6: whatever else. But you want to talk about you know,
1:59:39
Speaker 6: when you when you as I well know, when you
1:59:41
Speaker 6: run for public office and you're in the public eye,
1:59:44
Speaker 6: you cannot you shouldn't lose your cool like that. And
1:59:48
Speaker 6: I've seen a lot of his videos and he definitely
1:59:50
Speaker 6: has some sort of anger management problem if you've watched
1:59:54
Speaker 6: any of his YouTube videos on any subject, because like, uh,
1:59:57
Speaker 6: I saw one on gas cans and he ended up
1:59:58
Speaker 6: pretty much throwing the gas can across the room because
2:00:01
Speaker 6: he got so frustrated. But you just can't behave that way.
2:00:05
Speaker 6: So you know, I'm sure he has some good redeeming qualities.
2:00:09
Speaker 5: I don't know what they are, but.
2:00:13
Speaker 6: You are the most friendly, most professional radio host. You're
2:00:18
Speaker 6: very forgiving you.
2:00:20
Speaker 4: You don't you know?
2:00:21
Speaker 6: You're not a gotcha guy? And for him to react
2:00:24
Speaker 6: like that just blew my mind yesterday.
2:00:26
Speaker 1: It did mine. You could hear my reaction afterwards. I mean,
2:00:28
Speaker 1: he's just in a total state of disbelief and almost
2:00:31
Speaker 1: left at a loss for words, which is kind of
2:00:33
Speaker 1: an unusual thing for Brian Thomas, the way my brain works.
2:00:36
Speaker 4: But is it?
2:00:37
Speaker 9: Is it?
2:00:37
Speaker 1: Let me do that real quick, real real quick. Just Joe,
2:00:41
Speaker 1: Joe reminded me of something he told me off air.
2:00:43
Speaker 1: He told that guy's PR person ahead of time that
2:00:47
Speaker 1: I was a big fan of v Ramaswami. He said, listen,
2:00:50
Speaker 1: I just want you to know he liked the same
2:00:51
Speaker 1: thing I did when talking to him. This this is information,
2:00:54
Speaker 1: it's widely available. But Joe made a point to tell
2:00:57
Speaker 1: his guy that I was and that.
2:01:00
Speaker 6: Let me ask you, you didn't disclose it. How much
2:01:02
Speaker 6: money is mister vivveik Ramaswami paying you on the side.
2:01:07
Speaker 1: I could not believe that.
2:01:10
Speaker 6: How many millions of dollars are you getting on the side?
2:01:13
Speaker 1: I didn't realize there was a place to sign up
2:01:16
Speaker 1: for that.
2:01:16
Speaker 3: Man.
2:01:16
Speaker 1: He didn't reach out to me.
2:01:19
Speaker 6: Is it is it puts or putts? I can't remember?
2:01:22
Speaker 4: Could you correct me?
2:01:22
Speaker 6: How do you say that?
2:01:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, you go to my blog page. But you have
2:01:25
Speaker 1: Carsey dot com. You can see how it's spelled for yourself.
2:01:28

2:01:52
Speaker 1: happy Friday to you if you five Karose dot Comparently
2:01:56
Speaker 1: it's working today. I got our streaming back, so you
2:01:58
Speaker 1: can check it out. Get blogs and podcast page if
2:02:00
Speaker 1: I have Caresey dot com. Dave, thanks for holding over
2:02:01
Speaker 1: the break there. Welcome to the show, Dave. Yes you're on.
2:02:09
Speaker 13: I was calling because in the time when I actually
2:02:12
Speaker 13: went to high school, we had hours that we had
2:02:16
Speaker 13: to make up every year and at the end of
2:02:20
Speaker 13: the year. They made us actually stay and I was
2:02:23
Speaker 13: wondering if that's what's going to happen to these children
2:02:26
Speaker 13: who have been out here protesting that and June, when
2:02:32
Speaker 13: they get out of school, they actually have to make
2:02:34
Speaker 13: up these hours before they can actually graduate, Dave.
2:02:38
Speaker 1: Dave, I hear what you're saying. I appreciate that. May
2:02:42
Speaker 1: I appreciate that that may have been a feature back
2:02:44
Speaker 1: when you're in school, But you don't really believe they're
2:02:47
Speaker 1: going to be required to make up the time after
2:02:49
Speaker 1: they for leaving class to protest you.
2:02:52
Speaker 13: It's just amazing. And I say this because we have
2:02:55
Speaker 13: children today and I say children because they're so much
2:02:59
Speaker 13: younger than I am, who can't read at the level
2:03:01
Speaker 13: of high school when they leave right they go to college,
2:03:05
Speaker 13: is they can't do the mathematics. Because I've actually sat
2:03:08
Speaker 13: through a class at Cincinnati State and it's pretty terrible
2:03:13
Speaker 13: when I, as a pretty much a failure at math,
2:03:17
Speaker 13: can beat everybody in the class and get a bet.
2:03:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, and to me, and I appreciate you bringing that up, Dave,
2:03:23
Speaker 1: because that is the biggest sin that we can perpetrate
2:03:27
Speaker 1: on our children. Absent you know, some maybe abuse or
2:03:30
Speaker 1: something like that. I always give my parents credit for
2:03:31
Speaker 1: giving me the gift of education. They were insistent upon
2:03:34
Speaker 1: me being able to take care of myself and feed
2:03:36
Speaker 1: and clothe and house myself as an adult. And since
2:03:40
Speaker 1: I didn't have a family business to fall back on.
2:03:41
Speaker 1: As ironic as it may be that I'm sitting here today,
2:03:44
Speaker 1: I went out and study and you owe that. But
2:03:46
Speaker 1: you can't go out into the world and get gainfully
2:03:48
Speaker 1: employed if you don't have an education. And this is
2:03:51
Speaker 1: what's going on in the world, this whole woke reality.
2:03:54
Speaker 1: Whether it's DEI or something, the idea of failing a
2:03:58
Speaker 1: child who cannot pass a test is verboten. We can't
2:04:01
Speaker 1: do that. Their feelings are going to be hurt or something.
2:04:05
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? You send them on to the
2:04:07
Speaker 1: next grade, where the level of teaching goes up, and
2:04:10
Speaker 1: it's reliant upon the building blocks they were supposed to
2:04:13
Speaker 1: have received in the prior grade. They're gonna fail. You've
2:04:16
Speaker 1: set them up to fail. But no, they're not going
2:04:19
Speaker 1: to fail, at least on paper, because we can't give
2:04:23
Speaker 1: failing grades. How we can't even give anything less than
2:04:25
Speaker 1: a C. And the default is an A, not earned
2:04:34
Speaker 1: just default. They aren't required to do homework, They get
2:04:37
Speaker 1: multiple options to take tests over and over and over again.
2:04:39
Speaker 1: And yet the national test ores show up at like
2:04:42
Speaker 1: I keep going back to like Baltimore, where only what
2:04:44
Speaker 1: a single digit percentage or capable of performing any level mathematics,
2:04:48
Speaker 1: let alone just meeting the eighth grade standards. You're gonna
2:04:52
Speaker 1: send that person off their college, Yes, and that college
2:04:54
Speaker 1: will teach remedial mathematics. At least when I was in college,
2:04:59
Speaker 1: you had to have some math level course to get
2:05:01
Speaker 1: a graduate to get a degree, right, I also had
2:05:04
Speaker 1: to take music appreciation that I used math much. No,
2:05:06
Speaker 1: I didn't, but whatever at least was able to manage
2:05:10
Speaker 1: it at a college level. You're setting them up. This
2:05:14
Speaker 1: is why it's so sinful and wrong. You have set
2:05:17
Speaker 1: them up at a societal disadvantage. You've almost guaranteed, and
2:05:21
Speaker 1: here may be the mystery guaranteed, that they're gonna have
2:05:23
Speaker 1: to themselves up to the umbilical court of a government program.
2:05:26
Speaker 1: Why because they're dumb You've done that to them. And
2:05:35
Speaker 1: I would argue, in the name of not hurting their
2:05:37
Speaker 1: feelings by failing them because they can't meet the grade
2:05:40
Speaker 1: level requirement. Saving their feelings should be a far less
2:05:46
Speaker 1: important objective than getting them to grade level before advancing them.
2:05:53
Speaker 1: Maybe their feelings will be hurt when they're out in
2:05:54
Speaker 1: the job market and they realize that the quote unquote
2:05:57
Speaker 1: education that you have provided them isn't going to cut it,
2:06:02
Speaker 1: and then they'll feel marginalized, and then they'll feel sad,
2:06:05
Speaker 1: and then they'll start engaging in class warfare. Why because well,
2:06:07
Speaker 1: their education doesn't allow them to work to a higher
2:06:11
Speaker 1: level job or agenda doesn't allow them to achieve a
2:06:13
Speaker 1: position like oh, pick one that requires a legitimate degree
2:06:17
Speaker 1: and legitimate knowledge. Hmm, maybe there's the answer. I don't know,
2:06:26
Speaker 1: but more people should look at this. This is why
2:06:28
Speaker 1: I do fully believe, and I think I started the
2:06:30
Speaker 1: Morning show out about this teachers union getting desperate. Read
2:06:33
Speaker 1: the Kimberly Strassle's off ed piece this morning. School choice
2:06:38
Speaker 1: is so wildly popular. Thirty four states now offer vouchers, scholarships,
2:06:43
Speaker 1: or savings accounts. Nineteen states have universal school choice. The teachers'
2:06:49
Speaker 1: unions have deer in the headlights look on their faces,
2:06:51
Speaker 1: and you know what, Maybe the reason people are embracing
2:06:54
Speaker 1: school choice is because of that their kids aren't being
2:06:57
Speaker 1: taught in school and in not playing in ta teachers
2:07:00
Speaker 1: on this necessarily you might be part of the woke
2:07:02
Speaker 1: left wing teachers union environment. You may be some teacher
2:07:05
Speaker 1: out there that's doing it in the name of trying
2:07:06
Speaker 1: to benefit the young people of this world. And good
2:07:08
Speaker 1: for you. Go over to private school, apparently they're hiring
2:07:18
Speaker 1: the rest of you can take the kids out of
2:07:20
Speaker 1: class and go protest. Lord knows they don't need to
2:07:22
Speaker 1: be studying reading or mathematics. A forty five fifty five

2:09:39
Speaker 5: Uh.
2:09:40
Speaker 1: Let us see here over to here in the state
2:09:43
Speaker 1: of Ohio, some changes are coming Higo Department of Job
2:09:46
Speaker 1: and Family Services put the word out new guidelines under
2:09:50
Speaker 1: the One Big Beautiful Bill. You're gonna have to work
2:09:52
Speaker 1: to get SNAP benefits, at least if you are able bodied.
2:09:57
Speaker 1: New changes of the hot Department of Job and Family Services,
2:10:00
Speaker 1: let's see here, Adding SNAP work benefits for adults who
2:10:03
Speaker 1: are fifty five to seventy sixty four able bodied adult.
2:10:07
Speaker 1: Removes the work requirement exemptions for residents experiencing homelessness, youth
2:10:11
Speaker 1: formerly in foster care, and veterans. Removes work requirement exemptions.
2:10:17
Speaker 1: Adding work requirements for parents whose children are all age
2:10:20
Speaker 1: fourteen are over latch key kids can take care of themselves.
2:10:25
Speaker 1: I guess it's twenty hours. Changes to the standard utility
2:10:31
Speaker 1: allowance for customers in receipt of the Home Energy Assistant
2:10:34
Speaker 1: Program who are not elderly or disabled. Reporting from Fox nineteen,
2:10:38
Speaker 1: Dan Durouz says that at least in Kuyahoga County alone,
2:10:42
Speaker 1: these new requirements will impact twenty one thousand SNAP recipients.
2:10:46
Speaker 1: They say of those the majority already meet the work
2:10:48
Speaker 1: requirements work requirement in place fifty one hundred nine and
2:10:52
Speaker 1: those who are the ones who need to contact the
2:10:55
Speaker 1: county to become eligible and have not have benefits impacting
2:10:59
Speaker 1: impacted in three months. Non citizen changes as well. According
2:11:03
Speaker 1: to at least the Kaihogakunty Question and Answers site where
2:11:05
Speaker 1: they got the information on this, the only non citizens
2:11:08
Speaker 1: that are still eligible for SNAP benefits are US non
2:11:12
Speaker 1: citizen nationals, lawful permanent residents after five years, Cuban and
2:11:17
Speaker 1: Haitians have a carve out entrance, and migrants from the
2:11:20
Speaker 1: Compact of Free Association. All other legal immigrants, including refugee
2:11:25
Speaker 1: and asylent recipients, are no longer eligible for snap benefits period.
2:11:31
Speaker 1: So they say stay informed and keep your up to date,
2:11:34
Speaker 1: keep your case up to date in order to prevent
2:11:37
Speaker 1: disruption of benefits. So there you have that, going back
2:11:42
Speaker 1: to my point about an education the work requirement a
2:11:50
Speaker 1: step up rather than a handout. Mississippi James mentioned that earlier.
2:11:56
Speaker 1: He kind of just just said it, and it went
2:11:57
Speaker 1: by a step up, help people step up. And I
2:12:01
Speaker 1: was talking to my wife the other day. We have
2:12:03
Speaker 1: some acquaintances and they're struggling to find a job. Young
2:12:06
Speaker 1: people they are, and they don't have a college education
2:12:10
Speaker 1: or anything like that, looking for jobs like at Kroger.
2:12:14
Speaker 1: That's fine, but I was thinking about the guy. He
2:12:18
Speaker 1: sounds like he's really intelligent, and I said, doesn't he
2:12:22
Speaker 1: know about the work programs out there? In the trades
2:12:26
Speaker 1: you can earn while you learn. He could become an
2:12:28
Speaker 1: apprentice and learn a trade electric, palmming, welding, whatever happens
2:12:32
Speaker 1: to be. There's a big demand out there, makes some money,
2:12:35
Speaker 1: and then ultimately you are a journeyman. After a while
2:12:38
Speaker 1: you serve as an apprentice. It sounds like a great
2:12:40
Speaker 1: and glorious step to having a career and a good income.
2:12:44
Speaker 1: If you're going to fulfill a work requirement. There you go,
2:12:46
Speaker 1: why do it? Sign up for one of those programs,
2:12:48
Speaker 1: and next thing you know, you'll be free, or at
2:12:52
Speaker 1: least on your way to a career that you may
2:12:54
Speaker 1: very well turn out to enjoy. Just the thought, just
2:12:56
Speaker 1: the thought, just
