We come to the night cat on seven LWD Nation station blasting out across as
Russia. Lamba used to say the fruited planes. I love Rush, still
love Russia anyway. Tonight is a very special night for me personally because it's
the only nightcap I have this month outside of being with you from nine to
midnight on Memorial Day night that's at the end of the month. But let's
focus on tonight. A great show, a very unusual show in that I
have for the first time Art Volo, who is a guy who was inspired
back in nineteen seventy seven by watching a video of a disc jockey in the
studio on the air to create this entire video business where he goes around and
does video air checks of people like me. Now, people like me should
never be on TV. That's why we're on the radio and not on television.
But it is interesting, especially for somebody in the business like me,
to watch other people work their craft. I'm glad you're not seeing me now.
I didn't really dress for it, but Art Volo will be at a
lunch, kind of lunch that I was at a couple of weeks ago and
have been Privy two and privileged and honored to be at where other radio people
get together, mostly retired folks. These guys Art has assembled are some of
the biggest names in the country. You may not know them listening to WLW,
but you will, I think, be interested in our conversation. I
know I'm chomping at the bit to get to what that'll come later this hour.
Also, Todd Benzman, my friend from the Center from Immigration Studies,
is with us, and as you know, in just two days, Title
forty two officially ends. When it comes to immigration in this country, we're
already drowning. We're already overrun by illegal immigrants from all over the globe,
not just Mexico, not just South America or Central but from all over the
globe. We do not know who about ninety five percent of them are,
and it's a threat to our country's continuance, to its continuing existence. So
Todd Benzman with an update. Also, Dan was, our Second Amendment guy,
will join us to talk about not only the rash of mass shootings,
but what should be done about it from a Second Amendment proponents perspective. And
I think it's good to get that perspective because all you get from the politicians
is the divisive politics of taking people's guns away god given rights guaranteed by our
United States Constitution. Because they think that's going to solve the problem. It's
not. Dan Was will be here to explain in just a few Karen Cataline's
back. One of our favorite all time guests on the Nightcap, Vincent Edward
Ellison, an interesting guy born as a sharecropper's son on a cotton plantation in
Haywood County, Tennessee, and he's one of the leading voices of conservatism in
the black community. Dave Hadder with an I update and of course the fur
Bowl a night before he undergoes hip surgery. We hope all go We pray
all goes well for Andy tomorrow when he goes under the knife. We'll talk
about his numerous fears and anxieties, which I mean he has those with a
hangnail. That's all on the Nightcap tonight, and I hope you'll stick around
for the balance of the program. And remember after midnight the podcast should be
available on iHeartRadio and at seven WLW dot com. Todd Benzman on our Southern
Border and if you think it's been a nightmare so far, oh, just
wait until twelve thousand migrants a day are coming in and there's no stopping the
tide. Amazing. This is a nightcap. Glad you're with us on seven
LW. So maybe you were in a car rock or you had to deliver
a baby on a bus, or maybe you're being pro by aliens on the
space ship oouch. Whatever. If you have missed part of the Getting and
Rocky show, all you have to do is listen to the podcast of the
show in your iHeartRadio app and catch what you miss. Hey, listen,
it's our gift to you. Breathees. You're in your home with Zeros Airduck
Cleaning. It's the only company I trust to get my home insanely clean.
Right now, mention me Bill Cunningham fifty bucks off your next airduct Cleanning used
to promo code air fifty air fifty when scheduling online zero a sinc dot com.
What if you could be credit card debt free and ten days and save
as much as I now joining us from the Center for Immigration Studies, A
guy who knows more about the southern border than majorcas Kamala Harris, and I
don't know every other government official put together, including members of Congress. His
name is Todd Benzman. He's also the author of the latest book on this
true crisis on our American's borders called Overrun. And we're watching that play out
in real time right now and in wells less than two days. It's going
to get even worse, if that's possible. Todd Benzman, Good evening,
and welcome to the night Cap. Good to be here, Thanks for having
me again. Yeah. So title forty two ends at midnight on Wednesday or
Thursday morning, whatever, the eleventh, right, right, And and that's
that's what what that means is that a Trump era of policy which we're turning
people away, some people away as soon as they got to border, before
they could even ask for asylum, they were turning them away and heading them
back where they came from. And that is going to end. We have
already according to the reports I've seen, Todd, and you can correct me
if I'm wrong. I know you will. You've got the real information here
that the surge has been absolutely incredible. It was bad before, it's been
incredible the last week before title forty two even ends. Tell me what's going
on and why is it just too much for us to handle, right,
So the replacement policy for Title forty two is really the problem that is going
to be. You might as well get used to hearing this. If you're
interested in the border Title eight, we'll be hearing Title eight expedited removal.
The administration is talking about Title eight as though it's something that Donald Trump would
do. But the truth is that there are so many loopholes punched into this
thing that most categories of immigrants that tested on May twelfth, Thursday, Friday
Saturday should find that they would be released right into the United States and not
be removed expeditiously. I'm an asylum claim. The asylum claim will get them
in, not out. And that's the key thing to watch for in the
coming days is will they be Everybody, all the immigrants are going to be
watching this. I'm watching this, the government is watching this. Will they
be released into the interior? I believe that they will be released into the
interior because I've read all the fine print and studied the fine print polsty documents.
It looks like in the days after May eleven, there should be very
substantial new surges of the immigrants pouring fruit to take advantage of the releases.
The release, that's really what this is all about. Will we get in
or will we be sent back? And if we're getting in, we're all
coming. And I believe that they're going to be getting in seeing especially families,
Yeah, and unaccompanied miners. You'll be seeing the kid thing. To
show up with a kid here, it's a golden ticket. You'll be seeing
really even single adults without kids also probably being leased in large numbers. Two.
Well, we saw just recently, of course the thrice deported or maybe
four times deported, um not a not a citizen the United States, I
haven't have been thrown out of the country three or four times, was responsible
for that mass murder of that family in Texas. What do we know?
Do we know more about that? I know they apprehended him, but well,
you know they how does he stay in the country. Well, he
stays in the country because he happened to have been living in the largest illegal
immigrant community in America, in a region it's an oldiest Texas, in a
in a colonia that federal officials and immigration officials will not dare tread. So
he was able to buy land and have a house and wife and kid there
even though he had been deported a bunch of times. It was a criminal.
Uh So, the problem is when you have mass my crisis like this
and numbers like this, people have to go somewhere and they set up communities
like this just forty miles north of Houston and find safe haven there. And
that's what happened. There are lots of cartels active in that seventy five thousand
strong community of illegal immigrants, lots of heinous crimes that have already happened there
that never got any media like this one. I'm not sure why this one
got media attention. There's way worse than that happening in that colonia, but
I think I'm the only one who's written about it where it's even talked about
the fact that there's this massive, the biggest in America illegal alien community right
there that protected him. So post from the New York Post that you sent
me recently from Dayline Warrez, Mexico. Venezuelans one of the highest volume immigrant
nationalities who have crossed the southern border during this mass migration crisis, with five
million four in national five million four in nationals border crossers in the country five
million just from Venezuela. How are they doing this and how are they scamming
the asylum system? Todd, Well, no, let me just correct you
there. It's about three hundred thousand Venezuelans total of five million that have been
okay. But having said that, Venezuelans often are thought of as fleeing a
really terrible place, you know, sure, a cleptocracy, a communist cleptocracy
with a collapsed economy. But the truth is is that these aren't coming from
Venezuela and haven't lived there in years. They're coming from safe, prosperous third
countries where they've been living for years and years and decided to come now because
all their friends and relatives were being so like, why not upgrade? And
my point is that the Venezuelans by large are committing asylum fraud or fraud on
other federal papers and documents and in statements to federal officers that they are in
dire need of humanitarian protection when they're telling me and interviews, recorded interviews about
how happy they were, how much they love their adopted countries of Ecuador or
Argentina, you know, some of these other countries where they've been living for
many years, it's just a chance to upgrade to you know, move a
couple notches up, get a piece of the famed American lifestyle. And if
they have to tell a few white lies about asylum that they need asylum or
politically persecuted somewhere, so be it. And we we're not policing that process
in any way at all. We're accepting nine percent of all applicants for humanitarian
permission slips. And I just wanted to point that out because Venezuelans. You're
going to be seeing a lot of Venezuelans on your TV screen. You already
have been. They are one of the largest groups of foreign nationals that you'll
see down They're coming in, but they're not coming from Venezuela. They're not
escaping the communist regime. They've already escaped the communist regime. And now now
they want some of the freebies that the US government is handing out. Yes,
that's exactly it, and they're going to get in. They're already getting
it. Well, isn't part of todd isn't part of the welcome mat that's
been thrown out by this administration have been out for a while, just never
this blatantly big. As far as as I mentioned the government freebees, the
social safety net system that we have in place in this country, which is
absurd and obese all on its own, without welcoming people from all corners of
the globe in to enjoy it, to ransack it. But isn't that part
of the problem too, with all of the social services that we have in
this country available, that we're just giving out willy nilly to people who aren't
citizens, it's a very very powerful part of the problem. We give everything
we give these people we fell every need, free, medical, school,
housing, clothing, shelter, food, money, everything, and they all
know it. That's why they're coming. When the City of New York complains
about all the injuries coming to New York, they don't stop, seem to
stop for a minute to consider that they're putting them all up in five star
hotels. Yeah, what do you think is gonna what do you think is
going to happen? They're gonna send selfies back and say, God, look
what's happening. Right, You guys got to get here as soon as you
can. This is great. When the streets are paved with gold and you
know, so that's part of the problem is that you know, we are
parrolling them in for their illegal act, and then they get everything and send
back word and everybody's comes for it, and all they have to do is
just say the right combination of lines with the border, and they're in and
nobody cares. And by the way, you're right, this is this is
kind of an old story. This has been happening for two and a half
years now. I've been going on your program now for two and a half
years. Your listeners are probably better informed in the vast majority of the country.
But what's different about the end of title forty two is that the regular
media, for some reason, is now covering it. Like NBC is doing
stuff, what CNN is down in Elcastle, like ABC, the New York
Times actually is writing stories about this thing. And I can't tell you why.
For two and a half years, they're suddenly writing about this like it's
some news story. God, I have a theory. I have a theory
about that, Todd. I believe the reason they're finally covering it is because
the problem is too big to be ignored. People are finding out about it
without them, and with Biden's poll numbers at such dramatic lows and a new
election cycle is coming. The mainstream media networks who've been all in the tank
for Joe Biden and these policies or lack thereof of policies, lack of enforcement
of our immigration laws. They don't want to be the last ones off the
ship, so they are jumping ship now and reporting on what's actually going on,
which was their job in the first place. That's what I think.
Now, that's as good analysis as on a heard me all right. I
couldn't believe that I saw c ann doing report on like they were. The
reporter was in the middle of a huge job. I'll passo saying oh my
god, look at this, Look what's happening. I've been down and doing
that way for years. I know you've been covering this, like you said,
for at least the last two and a half years on this program,
and I hope that you can join us again for that. We are appreciative
and grateful and keep your eye on what's going on, and I know it's
getting more and more insane every day. The book is overrun. The author
is Todd Benzman, who works for the Center for Immigration Studies. You can
find out the latest news and many different posts, but also cis dot org.
Todd, thank you so much and have a pleasant evening. Thanks for
having me. I appreciate it. You bet Todd Binzman Tonight on the night
Camp News just ahead, and then a big confab of radio greats. I've
always loved radio, That's why I'm doing this now. But some of the
big names coming up in just a few on seven hund WLW News Traffic and
Weather News Radio seven hundred wls W Cincinnati. Gas prices dropping big time.
This is the nine thirty report. I'm Matt Reese breaking now good news as
we head into vacation and getaway season. A big money savings ahead. Triple
A reporting tonight. Average price of regular gas and the tries date now down
to three twenty eight a gallon, down about thirteen cents and the last week.
And it's also down about forty four cents a gallon in the past month.
A mix of a lowland demand before summer travel begins, plus oil market
volatility and recession fears. All of gas prices down for a third week in
a row. It's bad for the economy, is good for commuters who have
to fill up the energy Department reports in the past week, the average price
of regular unleaded went down seven cents to three fifty three a gallon the third
week in a row of drops. Americans are now paying eighty cents less per
gallon of gas compared to a year ago. Alex Stone EBCAS now the latest
traffic again, weather together. Fortunately not having any big delays shown up on
the big board tonight, and no problem getting around the Tristate roadways. Do
have a little bit of a delay right now. This is on northbound seventy
one in the Sparta area. This is near the Kentucky Speedway. Looks like
this could be a road construction situation. This is northbound seventy one coming up
on Sparta near the Kentucky Speedway. Apparently not an accident there, but you
can expect a delay no matter what. Now the latest forecast from a train
heating and Cooling weather Center on news radio seven hundred WLW. It's rain and
storms. There's a severe risk too. All threats are on the table.
Allow a sixty degrees then four tomorrow We'll see some clouds, but then mostly
sunny. A high as seventy two at night, mostly clear and a low
down to forty eight REVO severe weather station. I'm nine first warning Chief Meteorologist
Steve Rawleigh, News Radio seven hundred WLW radar is clear right now in the
Tristate. Do have a few showers around the Dayton area and pretty heavy stuff
outside of Washington Courthouse between Washington Courthouse and Circleville in the Mount Sterling area.
And our temperature now is sixty nine degrees. Cincinnati police investigating a shooting in
the area of Chesterfield Court and Shady Mist in the Mount area area. Happened
around six tonight. No details have been released on victims or suspects. Former
UC basketball coach Bob Huggins, apologizing tonight for homophobic remarks he made on seven
hundred WLW earlier today, says he'll accept any consequences from it. His current
employer, West Virginia University says situations under review may have been planning the attack
for weeks before opening fire at an outlet mall in suburban Dallas over the weekend.
New information out tonight on the preparations allegedly made by the suspect than the
mass shooting Saturday that killed eight, including young children. The thirty three year
old shooter left a trail of social media activity revealing he may have scouted the
mall weeks before he committed mass murder. He posted a dozen images from the
mall parking lot. He had screenshots to the most popular times for visiting the
mall, upload it last month, along with boxes of ammunition. The peak
hours suggested for visiting the molly uploaded were Saturdays between three and six pm.
In other posts, he apparently showed his tattoos, including a swastika on his
chest in a Naziss symbol on his arm. Wall Street. At the closing
bell, now lost fifty five, SMP five hundred was up one, and
the Nasdaq was up twenty one. It's nine thirty five. Next news coming
up at ten. I'm Matt Reese News Radio seven hundred WLW. You don't
have just an ordinary mom in your life. She's the best. Her work
never stops, her sacrifice. It's now when I finally got the chance to
connect with the guests. Who was going to introduce some other guests are Art
Volo. I didn't know that he was really Radio's best friend. I'd heard
his name for years as being Radio's best friend. Back in nineteen seventy seven,
Art Volo inspired by Shotgun Tom Kelly and a video he'd made at KFMB
and San Diego of the disc jockey actually in the studio a video air check,
and then inspired Art Volo to start Volo Videos. And he's been chronicling
the grates of radio in their environment, in their in their habitat now for
many decades. And he's got a bunch of friends. Earlier today I talked
to Art and his friends. They were at a lunch gathering, a bunch
of Detroit radio grates. Art Volo, Good evening, Welcome to the night
Cap, Hey, Gary, Jeff. It's an honor to be on the
Big one, seven hundred wl W. And I'm here with a bunch of
radio people. And the first guy I'm gonna let you talk to you for
just a moment is his name is Doug Podell. He's known as the Doctor
Rocky Dot, doc of rock. It's great to have you on the air.
Where did you spend the majority of your time? Where where would people
most notably know Doug Podel, the doc of rock? From which station?
Well it would be wrif I'm an album rock guy. So I started with
the progressive rock stations back in the mid seventies like ABX and W four.
I was in Cleveland for a little while at w nCX, and then WRIF
came calling. So I'm back home in Detroit and I've been here, you
know, ever since. So it's been a thirty plus year radio career.
But there's no question about it. Art is radio's best friend, because they're
all here today. There's no doubt about that. So good place is jam
back with radio people and it's a lot of fun. So dog tell me,
are you still on the air, Then yes, I am. I'm
on the air here on what's called Detroit's Wheels one oh six point seven w
l LZ. So I gotta tell you the second round for me. I
was on the original Wheels in the eighties and then they brought it back and
they came and got me. So I'm pretty proud. Well that's fantastic.
Here you're among a bunch of other radio greats. So let's pass the phone
around. I'm want to pass you around, all right, Okay, we'll
talk to you back to Art. All right, all right, let me
bring out we're here to a guy who is at the station that's as powerful
as the one we're on right now in Cincinnati, and that's Kevin O'Neill.
Hello, Gary, Kevin O'Neill. What what radio station are you on w
j R. Yes, I am Gary. I'm on in the afternoon with
Mitch Album the Mitch Album Show. Oh yeah, of course, very famous
author and writer. And that's the same thing, I guess. And uh
hey, we do a great show every afternoon. We do a lot of
fun stuff. I write all the song parodies we do and we have a
good time. So yeah, we gotta keep these fifty thousand watch stations going.
Gary, This is a we can't let these stations die. They're great
radio stations. Yeah, well, do you know tell the folks in your
state of Michigan to keep putting AM radios in their new cars. How about
that? I hope, I hope so. And God bless you. It
was so good to get chance to talk with you, and quickly I wanted
to ask you one thing. Since you have been at w j R all
these years, how well did you know the late Ernie Harwell, the Tiger's
proct I met him a few times, Gary, and I will say this
about him from the bottom of my heart. I don't believe I've ever met
a nicer person. He was just wonderful and on air, off air,
he couldn't do enough for his fellow of human beings. He was that nice
of a person. So I feel honored that I did get a chance to
meet him a few times. Yeah, well, Kevin, a pleasure.
Keep up the good work with Mitch album and to keep writing those music parodies.
I love music parodies. I've written a few. I've written a few
of myself, probably not as well as you. I'll get your email address
from Art and I'll send you a few of mine. Gary. That'd be
fun. It'd be fun. Thanks Kevin, Yes, sir, have a
great night, you too, Yeah, Gary, he did one just on
the coronation to the tune of England Swings like a pendulum do the old.
Yes, it was absolutely brilliant. And I'm going to send that to you
and next up and by the way, we're saving some of the biggest for
last year, um coming up. But right now, Tom Ryan, who
I met when he was answering the request lines in the switch at the switchboard
or whatever at Keener at thirteen back in the sixties here in Detroit, and
Tom is a very close friend and a voice guy for Dick Purton, who
of course will be coming on in a moment an x of w SAI back
in the old days and yeah, so Dry, Hey, how are you
doing? So? You were at WSAI at thirteen sixty right, No,
no, no, no, no no. Dick came from ws I'm sorry,
and that's when we met when he was in Detroit, and we worked
together for seventeen years. We were at Keener and then we went to w
x y Z and then our final stop together was at c KLW. Um
I did the voices and it was just the two of us in those days,
and of course when Dick moved on, he had to hire such or
seven people to do what I did for well, you know, another Cincinnati
radio legend was also in Detroit for many years, actually in Windsor at c
KALW named Gary Burbank, who's now of course retired. Yeah sure, but
the very talented, the incredible Radio Hall of Famer Gary Burbank shares something.
It's kind of like the bridge from c KLW to WLW tonight, and having
you on is kind of part of that as well. So it's very cool
to talk to you. Well, thank you very much. And I'm not
one of the last guys, so he didn't Art didn't save the biggest to
last. Well, thanks, lod, I appreciate talking to hey. Thanks
for letting us interrupt lunch. This is fun. These are these are the
radio grade. These are the These are the radio grads in the Detroit area.
And I have been privy to being in amongst radio grates here in Cincinnati
at these lunch and mostly retired legendary broadcasters like Gary Burbank. Marty Brennaman,
the Hall of Fame broadcaster, was there at the last one. I just
saw Marty here at the studio because he still does some stuff for seven Hunter
w l W course the voice of the Reds for you know, forever.
And Jim Jim Scott and who worked all over the country as well, and
Jim La Barbara the music professor. So that was that was quite a group
here in town. Well, you know, Gary, just a moment ago
you were mentioning Gary Burbank, Well, I've got standing next to me just
before our last act, believe it or not, Jojo Shutting McGregor, and
she will tell you what she did, and she was a very close friend
of Gary Burbank. You, Hi, Hey, how are you doing Gary?
I'm great, Joejoe, how are you well? Listen? This is
a real privilege to be talking to you. But I had the privilege to
be working with Gary Burbank, who was a wild and wacky, wonderful guy
to wake up to wall. I was trying to be on the air,
in the air in my traffic helicopter. So when Gary came to Seakalew,
he was the top banana, he was the morning mouth. And here came
Jojo to join the Sea Kalew crew. I was part of the news department
of Seakalw and I became the first female helicopter news and traffic reporter in North
America, the first in North America. In North America that includes the fifty
thousand wats that beamed into twenty eight states and six Canadian provinces. And of
course I was American. My late husband, Byron McGregor, I'm sure you
remember that name, was the guy who interviewed sixty two people and I was
the last one to be interviewed. And I only got the job eventually,
I got the guy. It was a twenty two. It was a twenty
two man news department. But think about it, who did a traffic watch
never mind on the ground, but in the air in a helicopter for a
top forty station. For Byron to have that kind of insight, He said
to her McCord, you know, with their other stations, her McCord was
our general manager. Other stations already doing a traffic watch. We need to
do that in Detroit. It's some otor city. We have the second largest
freeway system, second only to LA in New York, and there's no mass
transit. So let's put a chapper up. And so we did. And
I was that voice in the midst of twenty two deep voice men in the
news department. You know, twenty twenty news. It was legendary in its
own way. And I got to work. You know, everybody that's here,
including the gentleman standing behind me, is Dick Curtain. He's coming up.
He's your last guy on this show them he saved the Vestal last.
But you know, in my position, I've worked at many stations in addition
to skalew and I've had a chance to work with the Tom Ryans and the
Kevin O'Neil, and then J. P. McCarthy's and I'm WITHP Dick,
and of course I've done radio and TV, but I am so thrilled that
our guy, our bolo can keep us together. And it's a real honor
and privilege to be talking to you and doing the interview. And Garry's in
town. He's in Cincinnati, so he'll be listening tonight. We all will
fantastic, fantastic Jojo shutting McGregor from c KALW and Detroit, the first female,
the first female helicopter TRAVERCK reporter in North America. This is such a
gas guys. All right, So so who we got next? All right?
Well we say like we said, the best trial last and Gary Jeff
this is the infamous. Now, when he was in Cincinnati, he was
known as Paul Curtain because he I think was on after there, right after
Dick Wagner, so he was Paul Curtin. When he came to Detroit,
he was on just before Paul Cannon, so he had dropped the Paul and
you'd be Dick Burton, which he was for forty five years. And Garry
is the legend. Uh, thank you? Who the hell are you talking
about, well, I'm talking about right now, Right now, Dick,
we're talking to you. This is Gary Jeff Walker at seven out WLW and
Cincinnati, a town you know very well from long ago at WSAI. Were
you one of the good guys, Dick? Apparently? How good I don't
know, but yeah, yeah, I was. I was one of those
guys, you know, seeing you beatles and all that stuff? Right were
you? Were you at WSAI when Jim Scott was there? Did he come
along later after? No, I think Jim Scott may have replaced me in
the mornings. I probably think, Yeah, I don't think I ever missed
him. Well, I got I got a quick story about Jim Scott,
and then we'll get more to Dick Burton's story. And just because I got
a couple of extra minutes. Uh. We moved into our new state of
state of the art studios up here in Kenwood back in about two thousand and
four, and they had they had a performance studio built for like bands that
would come in and they would play live acoustical stuff here in the studio for
the music studio. So one day we're just moving into the building into those
studios and Jim is looking inside the window of the performance studio, and I
said, Jim, does this remind you of your early days and radio back
in the thirties when they had live orchestras and Jim Scott was always known as
mister nice guy. But he looked at me. He looked at me with
a grin and night's face and said, blank you and just smiled and walked
away. It was the real It was the best. I guess he belie.
I got I gotta I gotta blank you from Jim Scott and nobody else
got that just because I was because I oh man, But so Dick,
what was that? What do you think was a highlight of your radio career?
Did you have one thing you can you can pick out and go that?
Man? That was really the the zenith And I'm kidding that at the
playing softball for the ninety nine softball team at w SAI, and we would
go out and play charity games. And I loved doing that. We had
more fun doing that than doing radio stuff. I was a great station.
I loved SAI. I did yep. Yeah. Well he also worked for
six months? Was it? And was it even that long? In Baltimore
and came months. Six weeks. You missed by one, did I?
Five weeks? Five weeks he left its right for a big fifty thousand one
station in Baltimore w B A L. And just to show you the love
we have in our business, didn't you tell me? There was a line
down the hall where the television people didn't dare come over to the radio side
of the building advice. We were all in the same building. There were
three floors, and we were forbidden by the Matt general managers of Radio L
the guy who fired me after five weeks. L Burke could not get off
on the second floor, which was CV w B A L TV could not
do that, so we had to go all the way straight up, which
is fine. I didn't care about getting off from the second floor anyway.
And but that's what we did. Yeah, And there was one problem after
the other after the other after and so I called Joe Baccarella w X y
Z and he had already offered me and I had turned down a job,
and I said, Joe, either I'm leaving here in three weeks or five
weeks or ten weeks, I didn't know how many weeks. But they're gonna
fire me or I'll be fired or I'm just gonna quit it, And as
I turned out, I was fired. He used it. He used a
non w BAO word. I did her, I did, And do you
remember what that was? Yes? And this is not something you'll have to
believe, Gary, but tell him what words you is? Well, it's
spelled guts, as in gus. I was interviewing at Gino Martelli at the
Baltimore Coast where you had been with the Coast. By this time he was
retired, but he was His ficher was in paper that an operation big Daddy
Lipskin had stepped on his foot and ten years earlier, and he finally had
it fished. And I said somewhere in the conversation something about gus. I
have no idea, and Albert called me in after then he said, you
used a non w b al word today. What I said, I did
Hell? Well you can imagine if he's chastising me for using a non w
pao word. Um, what word was that? Hell? And clients of
words? I think it And he said guts. I said guts. He
said you can't say that at the station, So I understand. I said,
I didn't know that beforehand. But my favorite story really that kind of
time. Well, it doesn't time with it, but was one one morning
I call the way I'll broke after ten when I was off the air,
and he said, uh, he said listen, He said, every morning
at seven twenty you do a commercial for Western Electric of Cockies film. I
said, I do, and he said, well, I've heard you do
that. I don't want to hear you do any lines about cockies film.
I said, well, have you heard me do any lines at all?
I am? And he said, well, no, I am, and
he leaned back, he popped up his pipe and uh. He said,
well, I'll want to know you what. Maybe every now and then you
can do a line about about cockey Cockies film. And I said I can.
Okay, fine, and he said, but don't ever do the a
line about the time that send Miles mc cocky's film N new involved with at
that point, I was probably three weeks involvement. I said, one word
is is not far from Cockeysville. You don't mean to use all He said,
Dickysville. And I that's true. Look on the map, Gary,
Jeff, there really is a Cockiesville. Yeah. And the Dickysville, and
they're nearby. Yeah, intercourse, Pennsylvania above him in you know, you
know what here here and here in this here in the Pennsylvania Dick. Here
here in the Cincinnati area, Dick. In northern Kentucky. There's Big Bone
Lick State Park and there's Beaver Lick State Park, and they're right next to
each other. I kid you not, Dick Purton. She doesn't want to
hear that talk. What a pleasure to speak to you tonight. Thank you
so much, well, thank you Gary, very kind. And let me
tell you that mister Purton is too modest to say it, but he is
raised for the Salvation Army with radio thons in this town. So many million.
How many million dollars have you raised? I'm told of we hit forty
three million maybe last year. That's a lot of my power of radio still
in this day and age. And here we are on the number one station
in an AM station at foot in Cincinnati and number one in the market.
And we're proud to be on your show. Art, thank you so much
for being radio's best friend. Art Volo and the gang h Man enjoy the
rest of lunch. Thank you, guys, Thank you very much, Thank
you very much. I take care, I got a roll. It's the
Nightcap on seven HULW. No, that's amazing. Bess Niflovic was a flight
attendant for Yugoslav Airlines on a flight to Belgrade. For plane exploded and she
felled thirty three thousand feet to Earth without a parachute and survived. No,
that's just as amazing. Are Eddie and Rocky. They serve up the good
times and help you kick back after a long day. No, that's Eddie
and Rocky More Afternoon three, seven hundred WLW Welcome back into another hour of
the Nightcap here on seven hundred WLW and my only show in May is spotlighting
one of our favorite, not just favorite guests, but favorite people in the
entire world. The hostess spouting off and a frequent contributor to this program,
the one and only Karen Cataline joins in how you doing KK? You know
I'm Gary Jeff. You are just so overly is the word obsequious? I
don't know what the word is, but you are too kind, too generous,
and you make me blish. Oh well, my praise for you can
be effusive, but it's because you deserve it. I wanted to start with
this. I know you want to talk a little bit about the really creepy
thing that went on in England over the weekend, and we will get to
that, but I wanted to bring up just a headline that just came across
this afternoon, and it's one of those dull no kid in moments story out
of the Epoch News, Local and private COVID maxine vandiates of vaccine mandates or
maxine vandates. I like that better. Maxine vandids. I knew her in
high school. Maxine vandids vaccine mandates for patients and health patients and healthcare workers
being reversed, overturned across the US. In other words, these medical institutions,
like some of the most staunch. They're saying, no, you can't
get an organ transplant. You haven't you haven't gotten a jab. It won't
be safe for you to get a transplanter for us to operate on you.
University of Michigan just drop that policy either, one of the biggest transplant centers
in the country. It's amazing that you couldn't get a life saving transplant at
many of these facilities over the last three years if you didn't have or two
and a half years if you didn't have this poison injected into your body.
So you can't get a life saving transplant, which may be your only hope
to live without a life taking jab that could kill you with myocarditis or sudden
heart attacks or strokes, or blood clots or any of the other things.
And that's the one thing if you receive a transplant, the last thing you
need, or blood clots, Karen in bad places. But why did they
do this in the first place, and what did they achieve now that they're
waking up to the fact that people aren't afraid of COVID anymore. The question,
as you answered, it has nothing to do with what they said it
was about. But just to cut to the chase, and then I'll backtrack
a bit. God, when you you you told me about this story,
and I probably saw something like it, because it's like drinking like from a
fire hose these days. Anyway, Sure all I could think was, it's
like Rosanna, Rosanna, Danna, never mind. Yeah, And we're not
talking about penny little nothings. We're talking about people who probably died because of
government policies. And you can't call it overreach. You have to call it
government dictators who imposed unrealistic, outrageous things on the public, and then with
a flick of a button they go never mind, no accountability, no apologies,
no clarification, no commitment to the truth or to clarity. We are
supposed to just take them at their word. Once again, how many times
can people be lied to and say, oh, well, it's nothing,
they changed it. Now. I'm flummixed by people who have survived to adulthood
without having any discernment about the character of others. I'll just leave it at
that. Oh, that's an excellent point, a really good point. You
know. You know who dictators really like his Maxine Vandids because she was easy
and for a dictator, that's to you, Yes, that's what that's what
we need. But you know, it's like you and I talked about in
May of twenty twenty on this program on this station, Karen, we said
at the time, and we were in agreement. These people will never apologize,
They will never admit that they were wrong. They never admit that they
caused way more harm than any good that could have been done by the law,
downs the mandates of the vaccines and all of the rest, and we're
seeing it now as you just mentioned. No, no, I'm sorry,
No we were wrong. No, we just changed it. Please change the
problem. I'll tell you what. They will also never admit that obedience,
and I guess the word is jumping the shark with government force. Yea persecution,
intimidation and the lack of respect for human life, which we're seeing everywhere
was the point. That's what they can and will never admit. None of
us was accidental. That's the part that's so hard for any good decent person.
You know, none of us are perfect, but some of us strive
at least to try to be decent and to give credence to right and wrong.
And the ugliest part is they're trying to take away all reason, you
know, as if these things happen in a vacuum. That's the problem.
It's like, oh, well, now, if you talk to a true
believer, a zombie, a gullible person who's still wearing masks. I went
to the store today, they're still wearing masks there. You know, that's
their sign of pure and complete gullibility and fear. If you ask them,
they'll say, well, you know, they just wanted to be careful.
They will always justify the unjustifiable, and even the division in America also works
in their favor. So they're trying to play a gambit on us, and
I'm increasingly beginning to believe that it is not going to work. But we
are facing just the most massive kinds of deception and corruption that has been out
there in the open for everybody to see. You don't have to be a
conspiracy theorists. All you gotta do is well, our time's really short tonight.
And I apologize for that, sorry, but no, I just wanted
to real briefly mention what went on the tradition that was continued in the United
Kingdom over the weekend. I'm watching that on my Saturday morning show. I'm
sitting in the studio and I just had the TV on. Somebody had had
the TV on the coverage of the coronation thing, and I'm watching it,
and I'm watching all of the ring kissing and the procession and all of that,
and watching Charles get a crown put on his head by the archbishop and
the fitting the crown and the whole thing, and I just thought, man,
this is one of the creepiest things I've ever witnessed. And Charles with
these beady eyes looked like he was getting away with something he knew he shouldn't
and he probably was. Well he shouldn't. I didn't watch one second of
it. Yeah, not one second of it. I did love you know,
some of the summation of Naomi Wolf, who talked about some of the
departures from past traditions that were really creepy. But you see, making men
into kings and lords and lording over others is creepy. It ought to be
creepy itself, especially to Americans, you know, Earth to Americans. We
fought a war over this, and so right, you know, the globalism
that says we're supposed to care. Let's just not play that game. I
didn't. I didn't watch it. Hey, Karen, thanks for playing with
me tonight. We appreciate it, dear, Always a pleasure. Thanks to
good Karen Cataline dot com. If you want to find out more or find
her programs. It's a nightcap and Vincent Everett Ellison is next. A good
day starts with a good morning. Here's Lacy. She starts her day with
free range eggs, Free range Tofu and free range verbal Tea. Then it's
off to the yoga mat where she feeds her mind with Mike McConnell. Good
Morning. She does the downward Dog. She gets the latest news, weathered,
traffic, sports, and Mike's morning Charm. Just look at her smile
as she does the happy Baby. She is basking in Mike McConnell. Delight,
Mike McConnell. Tomorrow Morning at five seven WLW, low testosterone affects me,
he shows because of the Red's broadcast. But joining us now is Vince
Everett Ellison. He was born on a cotton plantation in Haywood County, Tennessee.
His parents sharecroppers through their own hard work and believe in Jesus Christ.
They raised them and Vince and his seven siblings out of poverty. They began
a gospel group where Vince sang and played multiple instruments, and today Vince is
an author and also a documentary maker. The new documentary is Will You Go
to Hell? For me to explain that title and to talk for a few
month minutes tonight, Vince Everett Ellison, Good evening, sir, Hey,
well val, you're doing good to be with you. Thanks for having me.
This is not our first time, it's been a couple of years,
but it's great to have you back. I've been trying to get you back
on the program actually for a while, but couldn't make contact with you.
So I'm glad we're together again. First and foremost, Vince, you have
you've written books in the past about the evils of Democrats, mainly because of
the policies that they support, and in this new documentary your self position is
and I believe it is true that those who consider themselves Democrats and also consider
themselves Christians are putting their eternal souls in jeopardy by continuing to vote for these
Democrat politicians who overwhelmingly support the killing of unborn babies and the mutilation of children.
Correct, Yeah, you are absolutely correct. We no longer have polity
disagree with the people. This, this has gotten real. And this is
for people who consider themselves to be, you know, believers in Jesus Christ,
people of the book. If you don't believe, you're an atheist an
agnostic, this is not for you. But but eighty five percent of black
people claim to be Christians. Seventy pipers of white people claim to be Christian
and this is for you, um, your your your listeners have been correct,
and this documentary proves that they've been correct. The Democrats have been calling
Christian conservatives homophobes and racist and uh, you know, people that hate people
don't care about the poor for years. This documentary proves that the Democrats are
the ones who are that way. And I say emphatically that you cannot vote
for the Democratic Party in the way that there is now a party that believes
are not myth abortion which is murder. A party that m launch a cast
trade little boys and call them new girls. A party that brings drag queens
into the public school system. A party that wants to have men participates against
women in girls sports, and allow sementic grown men to go into the bathrooms
with women and little girls. This is the Democrat Party today. It is
an evil institution, but it always has men. So your your your listeners
can go to where you go to help. From meet dot com. They
can view the trailer. Before Turk took the calls, some left fons muse
he considered he allowed me to debut it on his show, and he says
the best trailer he had ever seen and he said the movie is awesome.
And the movie is awesome. It gives information about the civil rights movement and
about how Marthuth King Junior was compromised. Now the communists there took over the
Black Church and led the Black Church to help these communists and Marsters take over
the Democrat Party who's now trying to destroy America. America's dying. This is
not hyperbole. If you look at our birth rate right now, it's a
little two point oh, it's got to be at two point z to replace
the parents that have children, right Pats have two children. It stays even
right now, we're about one point six, which means we're dying as a
nation. While we're dying. LGBTQ comes about maybe twenty percent of the of
the child ring. People in gend right now say that they're the LGBTQ.
Our generation is basically an exam so now to twenty percent of them say that
they always means that happening. They're not having children. And then they have
this crazy aboting policy where they want to abort everybody in America if they can.
And America's dying. If we want to save our nation, if we
want to have grandchildren as we get old. We need to step up now
and save our children from this beast. And when we talk about I think
that democratic poth is the beast of our Bible. Talks about it. There's
a beast all they doesn't It's meditate on blood, and it's controlled by a
cabal of murderers, liars, perverts, and anti Christian biggots. All.
You know, you're preaching of the choir here. But the Black community,
in particular Vincent, has been sold this bill of goods and it still votes
over overwhelmingly for Democrats. Although that that tide is turning. But what would
you what would you like to tell your black brothers and sisters in this country?
Well, that tide is telling me because these people like me and you,
and thank you for giving me this opportunity, for coming on your show,
and and and and and and for talking. I would like to remind
them that Jesus told us, which is supposed to please God, not man.
I know that marn Luther King Junior has been placed upon a pedestal,
and that the black community follows a lot of his teachings, but a lot
of his teachings are completely in error. I will give you an example,
because I have a dream speech when he said, one hundred years after Man's
face the proclamation, the Negroes still not free. That's not true. That's
a lie. I was born free. God gave me my freedom. It's
an unagilable right, according to John Locket is irrevocable, non transferable, and
unsellable. Uh. And Jesus said that once you become my child, I
freed you. So black Christians can't say that Dad, that that dare not
free walking around the street screaming we're not free. He told us that we
should have a dream that one day we won't be judged by the color by
skin, about the country of our character. That's ridiculous, because God say,
I'm not supposed to be toncerby how man abuse me. I'm not supposed
to be walking behind a white racist asking him not to judge me by the
color of by skin. I was supposed to love him, and if he
puts his hands on me, you don't have another problem. See we we
we we we we We've been taught. We've been taught a lie, and
we've been taught to follow behind man and marching in the streets asking for reparations,
begging for this, begging for that, as opposed to going to God.
So what I want to tell them to do, if let's go back
to our Bible, go back to what Jesus told us, Because he told
us when was asked, how do you know a false prophet? He shown
You'll know him by the fruity bands, by his fruit. You will not
get good fruit from a riding tree or bad for fruit from a good tree.
Each tree and fruit will be after his own. If the Black community
it's bad fruit right now, and they say that they are the tree it
came from that to be bad and he has MARDs the King Junior Civil Rights
Movement, we have to go back to Jesus Christ and leave man alone.
How much damage do you think that DLM did to the black community in America?
They did exactly what they're supposed to do. They want to put us
back on the plantation. They want to destroy the family, the same thing
the Democratic Party wants to do. Look, as long as we vote ninety
percent for the Democrat Party, they don't care what happened. They do not
care. They what they see us. They see the city as a plotting
at the cotton plantation. And their job is to do just like they did
by during during the Civil War and the Antebellum sound, keep black people on
the plantation doing what they're told. And right now, back then they wanted
to pick cotton. Now they wanted to move for the Democratic Party. And
if you go to the inner cities, if you think the Democrat Party is
any good, just like John Kennedy said, if you think that communists any
good, let them come to Berlin when steid that when you stood about the
Burlian the Wall. Well, I'll tell you this. If you think the
Democrat parties any good, go to the inner city, go to Destroit,
go to Baltimore, go to Washington, DC, go to Philadelphia, go
to New Orleans. Everywhere they rum black people. They beat him in the
ground, they treat e, let the dogs, They destroy the family to
trap their children, the family schools get armed. Him going, they can't
defend themselves and let the drug uses and the drug dealers run the street kicking
that doors in vincent is. This is this is this function and we have
to change it. Go to will you go to help from me dot com?
Thank you? Will you go to helprom me dot com? And watch
and watch this trailer. Definitely will and definitely a great pleasure and a blessing
to have you on the program tonight. Vincent Everett Ellis, Will you Go
to Help from Me dot Com? Is the documentary, and in it he
asserts that if you vote for these people who are behind these pro abortion and
these pro mutilation policies, you are an accomplice to that crime, to that
sin. Thank you so much, sir, No pleasure, brother, thank
you, thanks for having me. It's the nightcap and it rolls on with
the furball changing gears. Next on seven WLW News Traffic and Weather News Radio
seven hundred WLW Cincinnati, Title forty two about to end with migrants at the
border with the ten thirty report, I'm Sean McCormick breaking now thrones of migrants
crossing the US Mexico border before the COVID era immigration policy Title forty two ends
later this week. Under the provision, migrants are forced to wait in Mexico
as their application for US asylum is reviewed. ABC's met Rivers is across the
border in Warez. A lot of the people who are there behind me have
chosen to cross the border now because starting Friday, there will be a series
of new rules put in place. Anyone who's applying for asylum here at the
United States border needs to follow those rules. And if those new rules,
they're complicated, are not followed, then these migrants run the risk of not
being allowed to re enter the United States for at least five years, in
addition to being deported back to their home countries. Now the latest traffic and
weather together. The ramp to I seventy five northbound to seventy four, US
fifty two westbound and US twenty seven northbound close due to some repairs. Left

University and the Mountaineers basketball coach Bob Huggins have delivered apologies in response to the
former UC coaches comments regarding Xavier University. The homophobic remark occurred while Huggins discussed
the UC Xavier rivalry earlier Monday on WLW. In his apology, Huggins states
he fully accepts any consequences and stated his shame and embarrassment to anyone he hurt
by the remark. WVU statements stated the remark does not represent the university values
and that situation is under review. Our next update is at eleven o'clock.
I'm Sean McCormick. News Radio seven hundred WLW seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati,
available everywhere with the iHeartRadio app number one for podcasting. Seven d WLW an
iHeartRadio station. I'm Martin Hooch, the in I have been waiting for this
moment, Yes, the highlight of my night. Maybe we'll see what happens
over the next eighteen seventeen minutes. Or so, the one and only sports
voice who I can never agree with. Andy Furman, the Great Furball,
joins us on the nightcap. Andy, welcome back to the show. It's
been such a long time. I'm glad you were available this evening on the
night before your hip surgery, which is gonna occur tomorrow. Now, is
this like a colin ospie or anythink you have. You have to drink a
bunch of gross stuff and not eat or anything. No, is a matter
of fact. You cannot drink or eat anything after midnight. And that's about
I guess an hour and a half two our right exactly, So I can't
do that, and you know, and tomorrow, four hours before the surgery,
can't do it. Then you can't smoke. I have not had a
cigar in about two months. Oh, because because of the fact that you're
you will bleed hibots healing, you will bla plaid more easily. Yeah.
Nice, I'll celebrate, I guess around maybe first week of June, Memorial
Day. Maybe I'll light one up. We'll see, who knows. Oh,
you know what, My next night show, Andy, is on Memorial
Day night, So maybe by then we'll be able to do radio again and
we can celebrate with a with a victory cigar, you and me, the
two of us. No, I mean yeah, I thought, yeah,
go ahead. I'm sorry, you're gonna say, I'm good. I'm just
so excited to tell you it's been it's been how long three weeks? Well,
oh, at least at least three or four weeks. And my wife
is starting to rather hear us. They'll listen to Red Baseball to be honest.
Oh no, now you're getting into a cannon worms here at the home
of the Reds. Come on, the Reds are on the radio, baby,
and they're on the radio right here on the nation station, the big
Roun seven LW good. So you're a good soldier. You're so. You
had some you had some qualms, and you weren't the only one over the
weekend with a weather situation that coincided with one of the big outdoor events in
Cincinnati every year, maybe the biggest running event for sure in this town.
And this is a running town, believe me, The Flying Pig Cincinnati,
right as I as I woke up, as I woke up Sunday morning,
as I woke up Sunday morning, getting away from your awful, awful gastric
humor. Uh. As I woke up Sunday morning to the downpour that was,
I said, oh man, those people are out there right now running
the fly as I called it. Told my wife it's the swimming Pig marathon
this year, and it almost wine the swimming swine exactly seven swines is swimming.
And there were a lot more than that, like eighteen thousand people who've
trained and prepared and gotten ready for this one day over the last year.
And you're telling them that they should not run the race. Well, let
me back up for a second. Number one, I think the event is
tremendous and I've been involved in I've ran the ten k at least three times,
maybe before. I never ran the marathon, but I ran the ten
k, and I think it's a great event. It's a great event for
the city. They subsidized charities. You know, I'm going to go on
and on and on. It puts us on the map. It's a worldwide
event. Now you've got like forty thousand freaking people there yesterday. That's a
great thing for the city. However, they made a mistake, and they
made a mistake last year too, and I'm not ashamed to admit when I
make a mistake, but I think when people make mistakes, they should come
up there, be honest and say, look, I screwed up. And
I didn't hear anybody from that organization, the Flying Pigs, that they screwed
up last year when I had a sixty year old kid race and by the
way, that's six year old kid again race this year with his father and
you can see pictures online. He wasn't registered to race. Okay, they
said it won't They won't stop for a second. What the hell was wrong?
What did something happen to the six year old kid last year when he
raced? They didn't want him. Medical people did not want him racing.
Something did something happen to the six year old kid wrong? That's like saying
I went through a red light and nothing happened, so continue to go through
a red light. That's the most aston not excuse I've ever heard. He
wasn't supposed to run, and now is in and the story nothing happened.
Thank god, nothing happened, Andy, Andy, I didn't my wife and
I did not get any of the poisonous COVID vaccine jabs, and nothing happened.
So were we wrong? We were we wrong to not give because nothing
happened? Did anybody give Andy? And no, it wasn't. It was
being it was being mandated. It was being mandated across the country by the
government and corporate organization. So it wasn't my media because you will permitting the
work. That's right. And they were ready to stand me down, but
they did not. So nothing happened. So different analogies. No, no,
no, no, did anybody case the race officials did not have won
a sixty year old racing. That's number one? Did anybody? Number two?
Did anybody get struck by lightning yesterday? Or drowned in the swimming swine
marathon in Cincinnati? And with that Lawchic, I'll go and say maybe basically
baseball should play their games in the rain. FC Cincinnati should play when there's
lightning out there and take a chance that maybe no one will get struck.
Let me just say one thing. I'm not the smartest guy in the world,
as you know, but when I hear Steve Horsmeyer, who basically all
he has done his entire life is study and deliver a weather forecast for forty
five plus years he went on record today and I've never ever heard Steve Horsemeyer
say anything to the contrary like this. He just delivers the weather as a
pro and that's it. On Channel nineteen Bailey he said this morning, he
said, in his forty five plus years of giving weather forecast, it was
the most irresponsible situation he has seen to permit this group to race number one
number two. Channel five removed their camera people from the site at six thirty
am Sunday morning for fear of lightning strikes. So, yes, there's a
problem that they raised that race. Now I went back and did some research.
Did they ever in fact cancel marathon races? Yes? In twenty fourteen,
the Minneapolis Marathon was canceled for weather, The Saint Jude Marathon was canceled
due to weather and safety conditions. The Blue Ridge Marathon was canceled due to
severe weather in April of twenty twenty three. So what has happened? So
when I hear Iris Bush Simpson, the CEO, president, chairperson, whatever
the hell he does, but his marathon say we can't cancel it if everything's
in order. What's more important someone's help or your sponsors there, that's all
I'd like to know and if by solar Irish Bush Simpson, I would ask
her face to face, would you racing it? Here's here's my po and
the story. Here's my other analogy. Why shouldn't it have been the people
who were going to race? Why shouldn't have been their prerogative? They can
see lightning in the sky, They can make that determination for themselves, Andy
White, and they get to cancel the option. You're right, No,
you're like your run is the option that they didn't have to run. However,
I will tell you this, these runners who have come from other countries
to be here, who have trained three hundred and sixty five days a year,
do not want to not run. They want to run, but they
want to run in safety conditions. They were people who are running and twisted
and almost break broke ankles by going to the potholes that were full of water.
And that's not even lightning related, because water related. No, there
was a bad situation. That's the end of story. No, that's that's
related to the fact of the city of Cincinnati can't fix the frigging potholes,
right, that's what and that's what that's related to. So I don't even
hear about anybody twisting their ankle because of the weather. Andy, that's a
weak excuse. Full of water. Yeah, but that's that's what happens when
it rains. The potholes fill up with water. Rights, But if there
was no rain garage up, that be no water in it, all right.
That's like saying, you know, if the queen has testicles, he'd
be the queen right Well, no, no, really that that that actually
may be an argument very very soon, the way the world is going,
Andy, I know, I know, I don't want to lead you into
something wet swimmers with testicles who are swimming right now against women. So let's
let's not use that that joke. It's ridiculous. You're right, But I'm
just saying, there's nothing wrong with saying humane a mistake. You're wrong.
And I when I hear and see and read what Iris Bush Simpson has said
that it's a tough situation. I had to live with the you know,
you're the boss, the fox doesn't you and you've made a mistake. That's
a thank god, thank god, no one's struggle with lightnings. I watched
Channel nineteen last night and Ethan I forgot his last name. Ethan does the
weather at night? He had a lightning strike? Are you he live?
Hold on? Hold on? Are you in the payroll of Fox nineteen.
That's about the third time you've referenced that station. Of course, you know
ours the chief because our station, our station that we operate with, is
the nine first Warning Weather Center. And I don't want to give them a
short CPO I have. I have not nobody better than you know. I'll
take Steve Rawleigh over Steve Horsemeyer any damn day of the week. Steve Rawleigh,
we talk about Steve Rawley has to be a good friend of mine.
We go to the to the Montgomery and Cigars, and he's a good I
love him. However, he has not said boom. He's not said I'm
quoting what Steve Horsmier said. Steve robably hasn't said anything. When did Steve
Horsemeyer become a policymaker for the Flying Pig Marathon? Oh? I know was
this? He tweeted? And I read the tweet. So I'm telling you
what he said. And he's got forty five plus years experienced broadcasting weather and
the story. I've got forty three years of experienced doing radio. And that's
about the stupidest argument I've ever heard. Oh really, you will probably sleeping,
And what are the stupid that guys are professional meteorologist. He knows what's
going on the radar. I did happen to watch nineteen because it was on
at ten o'clock last night, and I watched it and they had minute by
minute the radar what it was like at six thirty am. They showed it.
And you can't tell me that, Irish. But Simpson was not privy
to that material. Come on, really, use this us pressure by sponsors,
and she said, let's get it done. Do it. And I'm
telling you right now there are the other marathons that are canceled due to severe
weather. And believe it or not, yesterday was a severe weather. I'm
sorry. Okay, Well, I will tell you that when I woke up
Sunday morning. I woke up early Sunday morning. Usually I try and sleep
in because I've got a long day on Saturday, you know, early in
the morning, up here doing the Saturday Show and then being at the bar
all day long, you know, slinging drinks for Hillbillies and others. So
I try to sleep in both say that those are your customers. Call them
kill billies. Yeah, no, some of them were flat billies. Anyway,
I got up. I got a Sunday morning early because of that beautiful
sound of the thunderstorm. I love. That was very comforting. Now I
wasn't out running in it when you were in bed. Yeah, it's company
when you were in bed, you know, when you were in jim shoes
a rate to run. But I mean, shouldn't I have gone down into
the basement just because the lightning can strike right in your window and killed you
in your house, and you know, but you know what you know,
and I didn't take you didn't take a basive act. Now you're making fun.
Now you're playing. Okay, I'm not making that fun of anybody who
got hurt. Because nobody got hurt. That's fine. You know what if
if we want to go by your logic, let's go on I seventy five
and I seventy one and go one hundred miles an hour for a week because
no one's gonna get hurt. Maybe no one will get hurt, so we
could do that. That's your logic as all as no one because let's play
with guns. If no one gets hurt, it's hard. That's hard to
get Hurt's how a logic is that it's hard to drive it. It's hard
to drive on ice seventy one if you haven't noticed lately without having to go
eighty miles an hour in your car because otherwise people will run you over in
the slow lane unless you're doing it. Nature of the beast is to prevent
someone from getting hurt. Safety first, that's the nature of the beast.
Prevent someone from getting hurt. Not do it and say, oh, we
didn't get hurt. That's assinine. That's asked backwards. Well, I mean,
the only reason that they were wrong and and myopic on this andy it
was because someone had gotten struck by lightning. Then they were opening all kinds
of lawsuits, so that wouldn't have been good. Well, I would tell
you this much. It's a good thing that maybe they didn't. Maybe that
they didn't do that because you're right about the lawsuit situation. I don't know
if someone could sue the Flying Pig Marathon. Maybe they could. I guess
you could because you're registered to run and you're paying. I guess it's their
event. I don't know, I really don't know how that works. I'm
not an attorney. All I know is this, they need to take caution.
I think in anything you're doing, you take caution. You know.
Here's the deal. You go to a Reds game, they scare you to
see if you have a gun on you, right you get into the bluepark,
they do that. In other words, no one got hurt for me
to take guns in there. Let's not do it. That's not the thing.
It's safety first. They got precautions. That's what they do. Precautions.
You're taking a chance, That's all I'm saying. And again, thank
god, no one got hurt, no one got struck by lightning. But
I'm telling you right now, when you make the mistake a year ago with
the sixty year old, do you make the mistake kind of a poor judgment
this year and the sixty year olds in there again? Oh, evade,
no, come on. Is totally totally on the parent. It's the parents
responsibility. It's not the states or the flying pigs responsibility to make sure six
year olds don't run. No, it's the parents' responsibility. He ran with
his parent, He ran with his dad, said it was okay, and
he ran with his dad the marathon. I think that's totally the way it
ought to be. The dad said it's okay, but it's not his marathon.
To say it's okay, it's year old, it's his southern Andy,
Come on, I don't care if it's his mother in law the Flying Pigeons.
I want a six year old kid racing, and the kid was back
there this year. Although not registered to run, he still is in there.
And they should have seen that. A good look, A good look.
Oh you're worried about optics again, mister optics. Listen before we go.
I just wanted to show are you are? Are you are nervous about
your hip surgery in the morning, No, well would I'll be sleeping about
everything. You're nervous about six year old with his dad's consent and running in
the Flying pig You're a nervous guy. You're a neurotic because Christ's Hospital has
the best Italian ices in the world and I can't wait to get him well,
Andy, God bless you will. We will be praying for you to
come through your hip surgery. But if not, I am saving this interview
so you know we will be playing it in the fur Ball Memorial the next
the next show when your next show, so Memorial Day night, that's the
next one. You should be recovered enough to do radio with me again.
Well you know what, I may call you Saturday morning to let you know
I'll be in good shape. Man. All right, yeah? Please?
Do we like the updates? All right? The fur Ball on the Nightcap
on SELW. I'm making a concerted effort to better myself. That's why I'm
finally doing it. I'm learning to speak chimpanzee. That's also why I listened
to Scott Sloan. He's smart, funny and takes on the topics that affect
me and my family. I face the same problem as you do, so
let's talk about them and I have a little fun along the way. Woo,
that's chimpanzee. Or listen to Scott Floani. Checkout Sloaney tomorrow morning at
nine on seven hund WLW and be sure to catch you this podcast on the
iHeartRadio. Ad You don't have just an ordinary mom in your life. She's
the best. Her workness show called Loaded Mike, and appears everywhere in support
of our Second Amendment right, our God guaranteed right that has written in the
US Constitution, it's our government's right or it's our government's duty to protect that
God given right for us to keep and bear fire arms. And one of
our favorite guests and a lot to talk about, especially in the wake of
some very very highly media profiled shootings in the last couple of weeks. Specifically,
Dan was joins us on the Nightcap. How you doing, Dan,
Hey, Gary, Jeff, thanks for having me on the show. It's
always great to talk to you about this stuff. It's pretty important, and
thank you for for you know, speaking out about it. It is extremely
important. And it's important to note that a lot of people either forgot or
just didn't know this because most of the mainstream media will never report it,
is that Joe Biden was, as a senator, one of the people who
was behind this this crime bill that was passed, and one of the things
that this allowed was gun free zones. Infamous shooting Sandy Hook, We saw
what went on in Parkland, Florida, what went on in Uvalde, Texas.
All of these were quote unquote gun free zones. And they're they're actually
doubling down on this, aren't they. Dan. Yeah, And you might
argue that Columbine could have been almost a direct result of Joe Biden's Gun Free
School Zones Act. So what happened there people don't know is back in nineteen
ninety, Joe Biden introduced the Gun the Crime Control Act, and in it
was the Gun Free School Zones Act, which basically removed all firearms from campuses.
Now, they had provisions for elected or selected people to security guards and
things like that, but for the most part, schools jumped on board with
the anti gun narrative and they and they pretty much went unarmed and helpless ever
since that law. That bill was signed into law in nineteen ninety. So
what happened is since then, school killings have doubled and they increase at twice
the rate of increase every ten years. So we get more and more school
killings because and you can argue it's directly related to Joe Biden's nineteen ninety Gun
Free School Zones Act. I've been trying to shine the spotlight on this,
and it's something that Democrats don't want to talk about, of course not.
It's a direct result of that, and we need to we need to get
that repeal and we need to get armed security, and we need to be
able to our to let teachers and staff who are inclined to carry a gun
do so on campus. I have a sister in law in Nashville to teach
us for a public school little kids, and she was just, you know,
in the wake of the private school shooting there a few weeks back at
this Christian academy in Nashville. You know, we went to visit mom and
dad and saw Cecilia and her husband, my brother, and she was just,
Oh, she's apoplectic. She's insisting that you've got to get guns off
the streets. You've got to get guns out of the hands of everyone in
the country to keep the children safe. And the fact that she was having
to go undergo security and safety training, you know, to try and thwart
these attacks, was just devastating to her. I shouldn't have to do this.
I got in this to educate students, not to be a security guard.
And she just was what do you say to people like that. They
have no offense to your family member, but they have no sense of reality
when it comes to guns. They are so scared of guns, and it's
an irrational fear when they have no understanding of how destructive it would be if
we lost our gun rights. If we lost our gun rights, the government
would come in and completely take over, the take over the population. Government
would control every aspect of your life. And I think the people who are
irrationally scared of guns because of the media, because of the anti gun fear
campaign, I think they just don't understand, and they if they do start
to understand, they get pushed back from their side that keeps them in line.
It's a very tough psychological battle that we're that we're having here to try
to educate people and try to get them to understand the importance of guns in
our culture. It's the most important thing because without guns, without the right
to have for citizens to have guns, we have no freedom. I firmly
believe everything you're saying, and I stand behind you one hundred percent. In
fact, i'd stand in front of you if if I had a kevlar vest.
But I'm sitting here talking to Dan was tonight in the Nightcap. What
I'm what I'm thinking is even even me having some understanding in our conversations and
in my understanding of the Constitution, and how important, how invaluable it is
for any one of us, as American citizens to own and bear firearms for
our own protection and for our families protection, our properties protection, and that
should be protected. I have noticed an increasing amount of publicized so called mass
shootings, and we had another one in Allen, Texas over the weekend at
the outlet roll. Those shootings are beneficial to the to the well primarily the
Democrats, because without those shootings, they have no justification for gun control.
So every time you see the thing is once you get I've been I've been
in this argument now for a good number of years, and I understand the
thought process of the anti gun crowd once you understand that they're not really their
intentions are not to help save lives and protect children. As your family member
might be your family would you say it was your sister, my sister in
law, sister in law. She might be very well intended. She doesn't
want to and I completely understand that, But the problem is she's been misled
by a group of gun grabbers who who really don't care about the lives of
children. They're they're more interested in getting guns out of the hands of lawful
Americans, patriots, American citizens. The American gun are they want to disarm
the population. Now, your sister in law may not get that piece,
and I understand that because the media is so good at what they do.
But that, but they're not to summarize, they're not necessarily interested in saving
lives as much as they are removing guns from their political opposition. Well,
of course they always point to other countries and gun restrictions, and you know
Australia has often given as an example. See now, in Australia, they
basically banned anyone from carrying a gun out in public and the murder rate's gone
down. Is that factually accurate? Dan? Actually, what they did there
were two major gun bands in Australia and they the reason they and the guns
first, it was a rifle band as a pistol band, and the reason
they did that was because it was under the guise of stopping suicides, which
was their narrative. And what happened with suicides was it didn't go down.
It did nothing. The gun bands did nothing to slow the rate of suicides
in Australia. They've done this in several countries. It also does nothing to
stop violence. It will however, it might it might have some effect on
stopping violence with guns because guns are more are harder to get, but it
doesn't stop or slow the rate of violence because people use other means. So
are we going, are we really trying to stop violence or are we just
trying to stop violence by gun? Because if we're just trying to stop violence
by gun, it's clear to me that we're really just trying to eliminate guns.
But the guns will never be eliminated in this country from people who have
who people who have nefarious plans with their guns, because again, the guns
are not in and of themselves, they're not evil, they're inanimate objects,
they're they're basically tools of protection for people. And how many times in all
of these just widely publicized hysterical head on fire mass media short stories about mass
shooters, how many times has the person who has been directly into, you
know, allegedly committed these crimes. How many times have the perpetrators of these
crimes been an NRA member, a Gun Owners of America member. How many
times has there been a just a sane, normal, law abiding citizen who
never has even thrown any kind of shown any kind of confunction to do something
like this been the one who's been accused of it. Never there are people
who have been you know, their family said no, this person's insane,
and they've been able to get a gun. And so now the fact that
law abiding citizens are being held their feet to the fire and their rights being
challenged and taken away in these places. They're not committing these crimes, Dan,
No, they're not. And I can guarantee you that in any every
single situation where a gun was used to cause harm on another individual, I
can guarantee you that the gun had nothing to say about it. Yep.
It's always the person who's taking the action. And just to clarify what I
said earlier that you know, you can take away the gun, but you
can't. But it does nothing to reduce violence. And I thought, according
to the gun grabbers that we were supposed to be reducing violence. They're not
trying to reduce violence. A matter of fact, come to my state of
New York and you'll see my originally appointed Governor hokel letting prisoners out of jail
from with early release and bail reform and all sorts of things. They're not
trying to stop the violence. They're actually encouraging it. While trying to disarm
the law abiding citizen because we're their political opposition, right exactly, and they're
treating us like the purps. They're treating us like the suspects. We are
the threat to them, not the people who are the threat to us.
It's really a strange dichotomy world we're living in right now. Dan was just
remember what they did during COVID and imagine what they would do if the American
population was disarmed. Frightening, absolutely frightening. YEA, yeah, yes,
our guns, our guns are keeping us free, and we're also protecting the
liberals and the leftists and the Democrats who vote for this garbage. We're also
keeping them free. So there have been some court successes in defense of the
Second Amendment in both Illinois and in Washington State you were telling me about,
Yeah, so you know, they back up just a little bit in brief
everybody again. Nineteen ninety four, there was a so called assault weapons ban,
which was promised by Bill Clinton to again stop violence if we banned these
so called a salt weapons. They so they passed this law. Clinton signed
it into law, and it was it was scheduled to sunset ten years later
if it proved to not stop violence or even slow violence. And it did
exactly that. It did nothing. It didn't slow violence at all. So
at sunset it ten years later. In other words, the so called a
salt weapons ban did nothing. It didn't work. So what are they're trying
to do it? They're always trying to do it again because somehow, somehow,
now it's going to be different. Um. The truth is they just
want to get rifles out of the hands of civilians. So Illinois just signed
into law another assault weapons ban, and Gun Owners of America went in and
just recently a lot of weeks ago, one a preliminary injunction, which means
it's kind of like a restraining order on the state. Um, So now
it's gonna go to appeals and it's gonna it's gonna go through that whole process.
Washington State, UH, just signed in a similar law, a similar
bill into law, another assault weapons ban, and the Second Amendment Foundation and
Firearms Policy Coalition both went in with lawsuits for preliminary injunctions, and I suspect
that they will get their prelimits. Marion Johnson's as well in Washington State.
Wonderful news. I mean when the system works. It works. When it's
broken, then we all suffer. And these laws work to break the system
that we've all come to know and love and appreciated in the Land of the
Free. Dan was, as always, what can people of? Where can
people find you? Where can they look for you? Because you're so authoritative
on the subject. You know about guns, and you know about these insane
laws that they're trying to pass, you know on people's emotional scars and the
things that they're subjected to daily by a media that is playing right along with
the gun grabbers. Where can people find Dan was? Well, thanks so
much Gary Jeff for having me on your show. I really appreciate it.
You're doing a great job. Keep up the great work. People can find
me at good Gun, Bad Guy dot com. Good Gun, Bad Guy
dot com. I also for Amland. You can go to amal Land dot
com and you can find my articles there, and you can find my web
show at loaded Mike dot com, Loaded Mike mc like microphone dot com.
Well, thank you so much for your time again, brother, and keep
your powder dry. I'll talk to you all right. Dan was tonight on
the Nightcap. Great to talk to him. As always, I mean,
somebody who actually knows what he's talking about on the subject, instead of all
of the emotional vampires that are trying to suck the life out of the argument
and take your ability to protect yourself and your family from criminals, from foreign
adversaries and domestic adversaries. As in the federal government. Who's really behind all
this this gun grabbing uh not people trying to end violence. As Dan pointed
out quite succinctly, We'll continue moments on seven hundred WLW. I'm in my
apartment. I was all alone, feeling a little so I figured, hey,
why not? So I got comfortable, leaned back in my office chair,
and then I see a Holton Missus Green on the fire escape listening to
seven hundred wlw's live stream on the iHeartRadio app. Maybe shocking for some people,
but it's the perfect way to listen to the Big One wherever you are.
It's not like I'm the first guy to ever do this. Listen to
seven hundred WLW anywhere anytime on the iHeartRadio app. Yet, Mom, when
she's begged for all these years a clean home, and Mom deserves nothing but
the best. Zero's carpet and air doot cleaning may outside of Memorial Day night.
So I got a wild to wait, So let's get going without any
further Ado, I t guy the man. I coined the term mad Hatter
for that now everyone is using because you know, you may think that he's
got some aluminum foil hat ideas about security in the digital age and AI and
the Internet of things world, and he does, and it's a good thing.
That's not mad, that's just sensible. Dave Hatter talks to us about
some of the latest developments in the cyber's space. How are you doing,
Dave, I'm doing good, Gary Jeff, it's always thanks for having me
on. How you doing doing fine? Man? Just ready to stretch my
legs a little bit. I'm afraid I'm a little rusty. I've been out
of practice here for nightcaps anyway. So first story that caught my eye and
dragged a twelve feet was I cloned myself. Tell me about this. Yeah,
this is something I've been warning about for some time, Gary Jeff,
And honestly, it's my biggest concern from an immediate standpoint with all this AI
tech. You know, if AI going to wipe this down in the long
run, maybe is it going to impact society and particularly you know, create
and take jobs. Ye, I'm pretty sure it will. But you know,
right now, it's very easy to go out and get your hands on
technology that anyone can access for free or at very limited costs. There's a
bunch of sites like this where you can do this, where you can clone
your voice, and that's what this writer is referring to. It's a Wall
Street Journal story, and there have been several other writers. I've seen articles
show up on a couple publications where they've tried to demonstrate this to warn people.
So when again, when you look at this from a cyber security angle
and the idea of cyber crime and fraud, whether it's the Grandma scam where
you get a call and it claims to be your grandson or granddaughter and they're
in jail and they need money, or it claims to be your boss authorizing
the transfer of funds like the thirty five million dollars bank fraud in the UAE.
This technology exists, it's easy to access, and it's pretty good.
I have fooled with it myself a little bit. I've seen plenty of examples
like this writer here where she cloned her voice. In some cases, as
little as three to seven seconds of audio will be enough, whether you read
a thing they have you read to you start the process, or you actually
just have audio of someone's voice, maybe a voicemail, maybe something of the
video or audio they posted on Facebook or something. I mean, it's never
been easier to have access to this stuff, and you can create very convincing
realistic clones of people's voices. And as this writer and several others of showm
they've used it to fool their family members, They've used it to call their
bank. You know, a lot of banks, Gary Jeff have that automated
system where you can call and you know, talk your way through, like
the prompts and so forth. So I'm glad you brought this up because I'm
really concerned about this. I think people are going to get your businesses and
individuals posts are going to have lots of money stolen as a result of this
technology, because I don't think people realize how good this stuff is and frankly,
how easily available it is. Well, Dave, will it come to
a point where banks just stop the voice activation altogether because of this threat?
My guess is arey, Jeff, They will have to and I think it's
going to happen soon or read it than later. Again, you know,
this is not some fly by night conspiracy theory website. This is the Wall
Street Journal doing a you know, a major story on this and demonstrating how
the technology can be used. There was a story. I think it might
have been Vice, but I don't remember where the writer was in Europe and
his bank with Voyds of London, and he called He did a similar type
of thing and was able to call in and work through the prompts using the
voice that he cloned, you know, his own voice that he cloned.
What to say? Ah. So the technology is here again. People can
go find these things online. Many of them are free. And again I
think you'll be shocked at how good these things sound today. So give it
a year or two, give it three years. As good as it is
now, we are rapidly heading into a point where you will not be able
to tell the difference. And you know, increasingly that's true, whether it's
audio, video, photos, texts from something like catchpt But this thing,
in my mind is the most damaging from a crime standpoint, because if you
get a call at three o'clock in the morning and it claims to be your
kid and they're in jail and they need money or they've been kidnapped. I
mean, and this is a fairly common scam. If you look this up
and it sounds just like them, you know, are you really going to
question that? So one of the things I've been recommending to people. I
had someone suggests that the knee GARAGEYFF and I recommend that people start to do
this, as crazy as it sounds. You need to have some kind of
pass raise with your family. You know, back when I was in the
Army, if you were on guard duty, there would be like a running
password, and if someone came, you know, at you in the dark
and they didn't know the running password, it didn't work out too good for
them. But I think you need a need think you need a similar kind
of thing here where if you get a call claims to be your boss,
claims to be your daughter, your grandson, whomever, Especially if it's requiring
some sort of urgent action and there's some kind of financial, you know,
thing involved, you need to have some kind of pre arranged passphraise that they
need to know or some sort of question you need to ask that only they
would know, so that you can try to verify the authenticity of the call.
So in other words, something like if they don't say funny bunnies are
sissies, then you know it's not them. Yeah, something like that.
As crazy as it sounds, I mean, that's where we're at now.
Grey. Yes, this next story Dave Hatter about Selena Gomez at the twenty
twenty three met Gala and the look the dress he was wearing and when viral
on Twitter, Selena Gomez wasn't there. Well, this is this just speeds
right into that, so it's a perfect segue to another similar topic. So
you'll hear nerds like me use the term synthetic medium, which is sort of
the umbrella phrase for any kind of content created, you know, entirely by
a computer. It could be text, it could be audio, could be
video, could be photos. And here's a perfect example where after the Met
Gala, a photo of Selena Gomez was posted that had almost twenty three million
views and she wasn't even there. So this is some kind of you know,
whole cloth synthetic medium. You often hear the term deep fake, but
usually that has a more pejorative nature, and it's, you know, something
obviously faked for some kind of malicious purpose, followed a deep fake if you
want, but a photo that appears to be of her at this event.
She hasn't been there for years. She was not at the event. And
then the second angle of this. But I think it is important because if
you look at the photo, it looks real to me. I mean,
I'm not a huge Selena Gomeres fan. I don't follow her a career.
I can't tell you that I would easily be able to point out a false
photo of her under anytime. I don't care about any pictures from the met
Gallas. So there you go. I'll top you one there. But I'm
sure it was fabulous even though it wasn't real, I'm sure it was.
And the photo, though again almost twenty three million views, it got more
views and comments and so forth on social media than photos of people that were
actually there, which then gets to the now you have, you know,
deep fake synthetic media content that spreads by really over social media. If this
were the presidential election or a congressional election, could you know a completely holpluff
synthetic photo video audio of a candidate seeing or doing something horrible, be dropped
right before an election and then be spread via social media like this was,
And how would you debunk it? Well, you know, and in terms
of you know, yeah, timing, well, you know. And they've
already done this with Donald Trump showing pictures of you know, men handcuffing him
and wrestling him down, and and they've done it with Kamala Harris videos,
which are just as stupid as the actual videos of Kamala Harris. I might
add uh talking about tomorrow and you know, and doing her word salad thing,
but it was a totally faked video. So it's already going on in
that public sphere, not to a great extent, but it shows you what
can be done. And the thing I wonder about, Dave is say you're
you're arrested, you're charged with a crime, and you're on trial, and
then you can bring some of this this generated media showing you were at another
place at another time, completely and fool the judge and the jury. What
about that? I think that's another problem too, garage aff and it cuts
both ways, right, could synthetic media be used to frame you for a
crime you didn't commit? Video, so called video of you committing a crime
or vice versa. Could you use synthetic media to generate some type of content,
video, audio, whatever, that would indicate that it wasn't you.
So yeah, I think that's going to cause a lot of upheaval in society
as well. And that's one of the reasons why I appreciate, you know
so much the opportunity to talk about these things with you, Because as far
fetched and crazy as this stuff sounds, you know, I'm a'm not making
this stuff up. It's all real. It's easily verifiable. Again, all
of these tools or variants of it, whether it's the photo creation tools,
the video creation tools, the audio creation tools, are all easily available right
now. Anyone can do just the Google search. Well, don't use Google,
use dot dot go, you know, protect your privacy as best you
can. But you can easily access these things and play with them, and
I think people will be absolutely shocked. None of them are perfect, none
of them are without their issues. And like the voice cloning thing I fooled
with, it doesn't sound exactly like me, but I think it's close enough
for most people, especially if they weren't you know, sort of thinking I
need to be skeptical. I need to verify out a band that this is
real. I can easily, and you know, you'll find much more high
end examples like that video I think we talked about before the MITAMATE a couple
of years ago to demonstrate this technology. It's several years old, and I
you know, I think the quality is amazing. Supposedly, you know,
it's Nixon's giving the speech he was going to give us the moon landing failed.
If people haven't seen that, they should go look it up. And
that's technology several years old now, it was done by mt You know,
those tools are increasingly available to just regular folks like me and you out there
here. Well, two things about this, Dave, as you and I
have talked about in the past, what we know about is frightening alarming.
But what we know about is only just a small sintilla of a fraction of
what's actually available that hasn't been made available to the public, and nobody's talking
about yet all kinds of dark projects that we know nothing about, that are
miles ahead of the things that are already present in the cyber world. See,
I think you could say with a high degree of confidence that, you
know, the stuff that's been released to the public is nowhere near the most
cutting edge stuff that's in some government labs somewhere in China or Russia or you
know, even here in the United States, whether it's a government lab or
Google lab or Apple or whomever. You know. Again, we're seeing stuff
once they think it's ready for the public. Who knows what's really out there?
And when you come when you look at the current capabilities of this stuff,
it's pretty stunning in many cases, again not perfect, but from a
crime and fraud perspective, which you know, it's the thing I'm currently concerned
about. I just think we're headed to a very bad place where a lot
of people are going to have their money stolen, whether it's them as an
individual or their business because of these technologies and the fact that people don't understand
them, people don't realize the high quality, you know, stuff they create,
and then also that bad people are going to use them in very convincing
ways to defraud them. Unfortunately, are you currently about Am I really talking
to Dave Hatter? Because I could do like a whole fifteen minute segment with
you and it wouldn't even be you would just be your voice saying, well,
we should try that sometime, Gary, Jeff. If people will have
to come up offline with our our running password, you know, like LEPrecon
or something. Yeah, they'll have to ask me during the show to say
it. Then I'll say it. You'll know it's me, Fuzzy bunnies or
sissies. All right. So these are ten ways that your credit card can
get hacked. I don't know if we've got time to go into depth about
all of them. Many things we've talked about, but if you're looking at
protecting your finances with everything that people are doing online now with credit card numbers
and data breaches is huge Statista US as it in twenty nineteen, there or
fourteen hundred and seventy three data breaching cases in the US alone, exposing about
one hundred and sixty five personal records. And the most effective way to combat
the chances of data breaching is to one well, first off, but the
most difficult one is don't put your data out there right, keeping keepers digital
footprint as small as possible. But that's, you know, getting increasingly difficult
and unrealistic as our world transforms to it all digital space. You know a
lot of it, Gary, Jeff is the things we talk about all the
time. Be skeptical, don't trust anything, verify it, you know,
through some out of band mechanism. Don't click links until you've verified what you
got is real by perhaps even calling the organization that's in it. Yep.
You know, understand the deep paid capability and the fact that anything you get
could be spoofed and could seem extremely realistic even though it's not. So you've
got to verify out of band. It's then it's all the traditional stuff.
You know. You're a strong, unique password for every account, ideally with
a password manager, turn on multi factor authentication on all your accounts, so
it's harder for the bad guys to get into these things. What about it?
What about a virtual credit card? Dave? Well, the virtual credit
card is a good way to do. I mean, it can be kind
of inconvenient, but with a virtual credit card, basically every time you want
to do a transaction, you get a virtual number that's used on a temporary
basis. It's used for that one transaction, you know, and then it
goes away. So it's vastly reduces the likelihood that criminals can get ahold of
your credit card. You know. Another thing along those same lines is if
you're buying things online, use a credit card, don't use a debit card
because you know you have a certain amount of fraud protection built into that and
limits your risk obviously, though you know, don't pay for don't buy things,
can't pay for it with a credit card, you know, freeze your
credit, set up credit alerts, monitor accounts on a regular basis. Those
are all things that will definitely help reduce the impact of any fraud activity.
Skimming is a big deal too, And that's like in a gas station.
You know, you swipe, insert your card whatever, credit or debit card,
and people have attached a skimmer to it. And can you really tell?
Should you be extra vigilant when you go to pay for something out in
the real world with your debit card or credit card? How can you tell
if there's a skimmer attached to the device? I got about a minute,
Well, Gary, Jeff, yes, you should be extra vigilant. You
can find lots of examples in local media of police warning about this. So
this is a this is a real thing. You know. A couple pieces
of advice use the It's like at a gas station. I always try to
use the ones that are closest to where the people are, like closest to
where the clerks are, because it would be you know, you would take
more guts and be more difficult to plant some of them. The problem is
these things keep getting smaller and smaller, and they're usually kind of set down
inside the credit card reader, so you know, you can fiddle with the
credit card reader. You can look around, see if it's loose, see
if anything moves around inside it. Those would be indications that something might be
wrong with it and you might not want to use it. But yeah,
unfortunately, they're getting more and more difficult to discover because they're getting smaller and
smaller. But it's a real thing and people should be aware of that and
be alerted to anything that looks unusual about the credit card apparatus before you put
your card in it. Joining us on this lone nightcap for may Dave Hatter
from intrust it to you. Thank you so much, my friend, always
my pleasure, Jared Jeff, thanks you got it the nightcap and we wrap
it up next done seven hundred WLW, American, July twentieth, nineteen sixty
nine. American astronauts Neil Armstrong and buzz Aldren became the first men on the
movie. They planted the flag, collected rocks, and giggled as they made
snow angels in the lunar dust. American, and you'll hear another great American
moment when you listen to Bill Cunningham, I Am a Great American tomorrow at
twelve New on seven hundred WLW Live Life to the fullos. Do you hear
that all the time? Right? But it's easier said than done. F
