Speaker 1: Five o five as a five k R C the
Speaker 1: talk station, Eavy.
Speaker 2: Friday a vacation.
Speaker 3: Cut it off the right time, Sean, thank you so much.
Speaker 3: There's a woo whoo. We know it's Friday. Joe Strucker
Speaker 3: still on vacation. At least I was aware of it
Speaker 3: this morning.
Speaker 1: When I came in. Good to see shot.
Speaker 3: Sean McMahon covering for Joe does a great job, and
Speaker 3: I appreciate Sean being there because if I looked up
Speaker 3: and there's nobody in that studio, I'd be in a
Speaker 3: world of hurt.
Speaker 1: Just a fact.
Speaker 3: Jack Anyway, coming to the fifty five K Morning Share,
Speaker 3: a lot of shuffling of the uh up the rundown
Speaker 3: this morning, ultimately inuring to all of our benefit collectively
Speaker 3: because I get to learn and talk with folks and
Speaker 3: get to ask a bunch of questions of folks that
Speaker 3: I hope I'm doing a decent job asking the right questions.
Speaker 3: Tech Friday with Dave Had of course every Friday at
Speaker 3: six thirty. Today we'll talk about QR code phishing scams.
Speaker 3: Do you do you scan QR codes?
Speaker 1: Sean? Do you scan QR? You do?
Speaker 3: Do you ever have any concern when you're looking at
Speaker 3: them and you're scanning them, like well, gee, what might
Speaker 3: this do to my phone? Or what am I actually
Speaker 3: scanning here? And yeah, okay, at least you have your
Speaker 3: you know, your your your some level of awareness. I don't.
Speaker 3: I remember during COVID when they started doing QR code menus.
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, I have to be FCC complyant here,
Speaker 3: but the words that go through my head aren't actually
Speaker 3: the words that I can say on the radio. But
Speaker 3: I'm looking at this going what the hell is this,
Speaker 3: which is a delicate way of, you know, saying and
Speaker 3: expressing what I was actually saying out loud. No, I
Speaker 3: don't do that, and I know that is an expression
Speaker 3: of my age, I suppose, but I think it's more
Speaker 3: an expression of my personal philosophy about them. You don't
Speaker 3: know what you're scanning, and I presume that's exactly what
Speaker 3: Dave is going to point out, because I've seen them.
Speaker 3: You know, you can walk down the street and see
Speaker 3: a QR code stuck on a light pole, and out
Speaker 3: of wild curiosity, you're like, I wonder what that might be? Well,
Speaker 3: guess what you might have just stepped in it. So anyhow,
Speaker 3: phishing scams on the rise relating to QR codes, which
Speaker 3: does not shock me in any way, shape or form,
Speaker 3: even though I do not have the I suppose, intellectual
Speaker 3: capacity or knowledge base to even understand most of what
Speaker 3: goes on in connection with QR codes, I've been able
Speaker 3: to make it through life fine without using them. I continue,
Speaker 3: you go through life without using them, and hopefully I'll
Speaker 3: be able to die before I ever have to even
Speaker 3: concern myself with being.
Speaker 1: Forced to use them.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: Also, if phishing attacks are on the rise, Black Friday
Speaker 3: in connection with phishing attacks, and finally, deep Nude artificial
Speaker 3: intelligence image generator lures users. Of course it does. If
Speaker 3: it involves naked people, it's going to lure users. I mean,
Speaker 3: we all have known this for years. It's one of
Speaker 3: the most successful marketing realities of mankind. Sex and sexuality
Speaker 3: will lure you literally to anything. It's just human nature, folks.
Speaker 3: Seven five Congressman Warren Davidson, we'll talk to the debt ceiling.
Speaker 3: We'll talk doge and crypto as well as the Federal Reserve.
Speaker 3: Congressman Warren Davidson one of the few good ones we've
Speaker 3: got joining the program at seven oh five follow by
Speaker 3: m Pifer and Mike holleran Santacon which is going to
Speaker 3: be benefiting the cure starts now, which of course is
Speaker 3: one of my favorite charities. And then fast forward to
Speaker 3: eight oh five Bill O'Reilly. Bill O'Reilly, we're going to
Speaker 3: get his thoughts on the election the next four years
Speaker 3: moving forward, and of course we will talk about his
Speaker 3: most recent book, which I've already talked with him about,
Speaker 3: confronting the president's apparently number one bestseller. And of course
Speaker 3: Bill O'Reilly writes a great book. Say what you want
Speaker 3: about Bill O'Reilly. The subject matter of his books are
Speaker 3: really fascinating. The Killing series are just amazing, and I
Speaker 3: think there's theseus almost like a dozen of those. But
Speaker 3: confronting the president's number one best seller, we will raise
Speaker 3: that as a topic of conversation as well with Bill
Speaker 3: O'Reilly eight oh five for Bill seven nine fifty five hundred,
Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty two to three, talking with Pound
Speaker 3: five fifty on AT and T funds. If you'd like
Speaker 3: to call in and chime in, maybe you want to
Speaker 3: talk about the Department of Justice. Finally admitting that there
Speaker 3: were a whole bunch of FBI informants President during the
Speaker 3: January drunken fraternity party, with many call a protest, or
Speaker 3: rather maybe an effort to overthrow the government. I don't know,
Speaker 3: nonsensical at all. Was literally as that event was unfolding.
Speaker 3: As I pointed out many times over the years, I
Speaker 3: was screaming at the television set, optics, optics, optics, don't
Speaker 3: do this, Why are you doing this? This looks terrible. Please,
Speaker 3: Dear God, get out of there. No nobody was listening
Speaker 3: to me because of course they couldn't hear me through
Speaker 3: my video screen. So from the get go it looks stupid.
Speaker 3: But I never, ever, ever, once thought it was going
Speaker 3: to result in the overthrow the government. I didn't think
Speaker 3: it was an organized effort to overthrow the government. And
Speaker 3: I thought all these nonsensical prosecutions of these January sixth
Speaker 3: protesters unless it was criminal because they beat someone over
Speaker 3: the head or something, And why didn't that guy get prosecutor?
Speaker 3: Who shot Ashley Babbitt? Can someone answer that question for me.
Speaker 3: You can't use deadly force unless you are presented with
Speaker 3: deadly force or the reasonable eminent apprehension of grievous bodily
Speaker 3: harm or death. If you legitimately feel that your wife
Speaker 3: is in jeopardy as evidence by someone coming after you
Speaker 3: that you believe in your heart of hearts to represent
Speaker 3: a grievous threat to you, and that will be reviewed
Speaker 3: by law enforcement. I mean, you just can't say, oh,
Speaker 3: I felt like my wife was in jeopardy when you
Speaker 3: know there's a guy like twenty nine yards away standing
Speaker 3: there with a handful of garden shears or something not
Speaker 3: running after you. No, you can't shoot that guy. What
Speaker 3: did Ashley Babbitt do that represented eminent apprehension of grievous
Speaker 3: bodily harm or deadly force? Literally nothing, So there was
Speaker 3: no prosecution in that regard. You can let that fester
Speaker 3: out there in the world. About the Justice Department inspector
Speaker 3: General right on the heels of FBI Director Ray stepping down?
Speaker 3: Is the timing kind of a thing here? Does anybody
Speaker 3: see they suspicious timing?
Speaker 1: Anyway?
Speaker 3: They admitted more than two dozen confidential human sources, referred
Speaker 3: to as Chs's in the crowd outside the Capitol will
Speaker 3: January sixth. Now, they claim three of them were actually
Speaker 3: assigned by the FBI to be present at the event,
Speaker 3: but they emphasized that none of these sources were authorized
Speaker 3: or directed by the Bureau to, in their words, break
Speaker 3: the law or encourage others to commit illegal acts. That's
Speaker 3: in the report, and I found that rather comical. Now,
Speaker 3: did they talk to the confidential human sources and say,
Speaker 3: don't do anything that breaks the law, law and do
Speaker 3: not commit any illegal acts. No, it doesn't say that.
Speaker 3: It just says none of them were authorized or directed
Speaker 3: to break the law or encourage others to commit illegal acts.
Speaker 1: Maybe it was a nudge in a wink.
Speaker 3: This is where my jaden and cynical perception of life
Speaker 3: comes under the equation.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Court of the report quote.
Speaker 3: Today's report also details our findings regarding FBI's confident confidential
Speaker 3: human sources who were in Washington, DC on January sixth.
Speaker 1: Our review.
Speaker 3: Determined that none of these fis chs's was authorized by
Speaker 3: the FBI to enter the capitol or a restricted area
Speaker 3: or to otherwise break the law on January sixth, Nor
Speaker 3: was any CHS directed by the FBI to encourage others
Speaker 3: to commit illegal acts on January sixth. Again, it's the
Speaker 3: absence of the statement they were because they weren't connected
Speaker 3: with the FBI. That's how you end up becoming a
Speaker 3: confidential human source. You are connected with them, you are
Speaker 3: working with them on some level. Otherwise you just some
Speaker 3: random dude walking around on the streets. So you've established
Speaker 3: a relationship by identifying them as a confidential human source. Now,
Speaker 3: why isn't there a statement in this report that says
Speaker 3: they were specifically told to not break the law and
Speaker 3: not encourage others to commit illegal acts. In other words,
Speaker 3: under threat of indictment or maybe prosecution. Look, chs, you're
Speaker 3: working with us, all right, Some of you will be paid,
Speaker 3: and that is also part of the report.
Speaker 1: Some were paid.
Speaker 3: But under no circumstances will you encourage anybody to commit
Speaker 3: an illegal actor? And undern circumstances will you enter a
Speaker 3: restricted area or break the law. Now that's not in there.
Speaker 3: They just weren't authorized to do that. A corner of
Speaker 3: the report. There were total of twenty six of these
Speaker 3: confidential human sources in the crowd. Three of them were
Speaker 3: actually assigned by the bureau to be there. At least
Speaker 3: they admitted that one of the three confidential human sources
Speaker 3: tasked by the FBI to attend the rally entered the
Speaker 3: Capitol building, while the other two entered the restricted area
Speaker 3: around the Capitol. And if a confidential human source corn
Speaker 3: of Fox News reporting anyway, is directed to be at
Speaker 3: a certain event, they are paid for their time. Quote
Speaker 3: from the report. One FBI field office tasked, I guess
Speaker 3: that means they were paid in this particular case, tasked
Speaker 3: ACHS to travel d SEA to report on the activities
Speaker 3: of a predicated domestic terrorism suspect who was separately planning
Speaker 3: to travel at EC.
Speaker 1: For the January sixth directular certification.
Speaker 3: So I would say there was a maybe like a
Speaker 3: terrorist on the radar list, in which case you might
Speaker 3: expect the FBI to actually engage and do something.
Speaker 1: So fine.
Speaker 3: A second, going back to the report, a second FBI
Speaker 3: field office tasked again there's that word, a CHS to
Speaker 3: travel a DC to potentially report on two domestic terrorism suspects.
Speaker 3: And this is strange to me because this is again
Speaker 3: a quote from the report. Let me reread this sentence
Speaker 3: for you. A second FBI field office tasked a CHS
Speaker 3: to travel at EC to potentially report meaning maybe there
Speaker 3: will be a report maybe not, on two domestic terrorism
Speaker 3: suspects from another FBI field office who were planning to
Speaker 3: travel a DC for events on January six Now I
Speaker 3: kind of read that. I'm like, did what do you think?
Speaker 3: Did they come out of the FBI field office or
Speaker 3: was it just within the jurisdiction of this other field office.
Speaker 3: I think it's probably the latter, but the wording.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm a little alarmed, and given it is a report
Speaker 3: on this particular incident, I am analyzing it with a
Speaker 3: microscope this morning. Going back to the report, and a
Speaker 3: third CHS, who had informed their handling agent that they
Speaker 3: intended to travity DC on their own initiative for the
Speaker 3: events of January sixth, was similarly tasked by their field
Speaker 3: office to potentially report on two DT domestic terrorism suspects
Speaker 3: from other FBI field officers who were planning to TRAVITYDC
Speaker 3: for the events on January sixth. So we got three
Speaker 3: folks that were assigned duties related to potential domestic terrorists.
Speaker 3: All that sounds above, But what of the other twenty
Speaker 3: six or twenty three rather that were floating around.
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 3: Horowitz stressed that no sources were encouraged or authorized by
Speaker 3: the FBI to end of the capitol.
Speaker 1: I love that silence equals consent. Doesn't it. Maybe maybe
Speaker 1: twenty three of.
Speaker 3: The confidential human sources president on January sixth came to
Speaker 3: DC on their own. Of that group, three entered the
Speaker 3: Capitol during the riodte and an additional eleven sources entered
Speaker 3: the restricted area around the Capitol. So again we're talking
Speaker 3: about established connected folks with the FBI. You wouldn't again
Speaker 3: be a confidential human source unless you were working on
Speaker 3: some level with the FBI. You were designated as a CHS.
Speaker 3: So they didn't tell you to break the law. They
Speaker 3: didn't tell you and entered the building, and yet they
Speaker 3: were there, and yet they did.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Call me jaded and call me sivencal five one, three, seven,
Speaker 3: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two
Speaker 3: three talk Top five fifty on AT and T phones.
Speaker 3: It is five nineteen right now, be right back after
Speaker 3: these brief words fifty five the talk station.
Speaker 1: I'm Donald J. Trump, and I improved this message. No,
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 3: I miss day ratleis keep your stupid mouth shut down
Speaker 3: by it when we had the prior approval. But Lemmy
Speaker 3: telling see he knows Joe Schrecker is not of work
Speaker 3: today because normally Joe will push the volume up for
Speaker 3: that little snippet there from Motorhead. But that's okay, Sean,
Speaker 3: trying to get people out of bed. It on a
Speaker 3: Friday morning, we play that song for my mom, Sean.
Speaker 3: So it used to be system of a doubt. I
Speaker 3: know you like that, Yeah, I know five eight ten
Speaker 3: three talk pound five fifty on your AT and T.
Speaker 3: Anyway further than this report regarding the confidential human sources
Speaker 3: that we're working with the FBI, whether or not they
Speaker 3: were specifically directed to commit illegal activities or not. Uh,
Speaker 3: they were not specifically directed, although there was nothing to
Speaker 3: indicate that they were not specifically told do not engage
Speaker 3: in illegal activities, do not encourage anyone to engage in
Speaker 3: criminal conduct. No, that wasn't there. Reacting to Horowitz's report,
Speaker 3: and that's the report we're reading from. Conveniently timed after
Speaker 3: FBI Director Ray said he was stepping down, FBI said
Speaker 3: the bureau, in their words, did not have primary responsibility
Speaker 3: for intelligence collection or even security on January sixth. See,
Speaker 3: you have to look at the words primary. That doesn't
Speaker 3: mean they didn't have any responsibility for intelligence collection. They
Speaker 3: just didn't have primary responsibility, but nonetheless recognized the potential
Speaker 3: for violence and took significant and appropriate steps to prepare
Speaker 3: for this supporting role, support yes of intelligence collection. See
Speaker 3: I'm trying I emphasize this and I dwell on these
Speaker 3: words because I think it's a clear indication that they
Speaker 3: knew something was going to hit the fan that day, maybe,
Speaker 3: just maybe. And I'm entertaining my conspiracy theorists or alternatively
Speaker 3: pattern observers that this was perhaps encouraged in egg Down.
Speaker 3: And where was Nancy Pelosi in the Capitol police? Where
Speaker 3: was the security? I mean, if they were worried and
Speaker 3: prepared for potential violence, and the FBI had a significant
Speaker 3: in appropriate steps to prepare for the supporting role, how
Speaker 3: come there wasn't more security there? Just let that fester
Speaker 3: around in your head a little bit.
Speaker 4: Further.
Speaker 3: The report includes the OIG's analysis regarding the FBI's used
Speaker 3: to confidential human source, concluding that no chs's were authorized
Speaker 3: the enter the capital or restricted area otherwise break the law.
Speaker 3: I pointed, I made a moment ago this, Nor was
Speaker 3: any ch as directed by the FBI to encourage others
Speaker 3: to commit illegal acts on January sixth, So, but they
Speaker 3: did maybe I don't know. I'm trying to engage in
Speaker 3: an overly critical analysis of this, because honestly, the last
Speaker 3: owl I don't know, decade or perhaps fifty nine years
Speaker 3: of my lifetime has led me to believe that maybe,
Speaker 3: just maybe those that we elect and those have been
Speaker 3: put in positions of power, even those behind the scenes,
Speaker 3: aren't really straightforward with us, not exactly candid with us,
Speaker 3: perhaps are engaging in, I don't know, maybe some sort
Speaker 3: of nefarious activities that might run against our personal best interest.
Speaker 3: House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan good Man quote, this report
Speaker 3: confirms what we suspected. The FBI had encouraged and tasked
Speaker 3: confidential human sources to be at the Capitol that day.
Speaker 3: There were twenty six total present. Four entered the Capitol
Speaker 3: and were not charged, which is not the same treatment
Speaker 3: that other Americans received. Wonderful poorn, Jim Jordan, how come
Speaker 3: they weren't charged If you're arresting seventy two year old
Speaker 3: ladies for wandering around the building because they I don't know,
Speaker 3: enter the Capitol and violid security protocol or whatever. Confidential
Speaker 3: human sources are not FBI employees, and according to the
Speaker 3: FBI's report release yesterday, the only one was paid to
Speaker 3: be there. That person may be arguably and tol to
Speaker 3: some measure of immunity because they were directed and paid
Speaker 3: by the FBI to actually do what they did. But
Speaker 3: these other ones, the twenty six who did engage in
Speaker 3: identical behavior that the common citizenry was tracked down, hunted down,
Speaker 3: and incarcerated for, were not. And they were the easiest
Speaker 3: ones to find because of course they are chs is
Speaker 3: working with the FBI. Five twenty eight, fifty five KRC

Speaker 3: Boy man sentence in connection with the woman's twenty twenty
Speaker 3: three death. Ricky Raider, I'm gonna spend seven years in
Speaker 3: jail after he previously pleaded guilty to leaving the scene
Speaker 3: of an accident after being a persistent felony offender, according
Speaker 3: to announcement by judge in court yesterday. Before Raider was sentenced,
Speaker 3: he offered an apology to the family of the eighteen
Speaker 3: year old Lauren Collins, who died back in July of
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, saying, I don't have the words to
Speaker 3: express how truly sorry I am for to have done
Speaker 3: this to you, calling it a freak. I said it
Speaker 3: was a freak. I guess anyway. I know you don't
Speaker 3: care honestly.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 3: Collins family said they feel Raider's action tell a completely
Speaker 3: different story than his apology did in court. They think
Speaker 3: he showed no remorse for the loved one by leaving
Speaker 3: the scene of the accident, which he admitted to in
Speaker 3: a recorded jail call on the night she died. To
Speaker 3: just finished her freshman near at University of Kentucky. Passionate
Speaker 3: about dance, dedicated a lot of her time to entary
Speaker 3: young dancers. Her family established a nonprofit foundation, Shine Like Lauren,
Speaker 3: following her death. They say the nonprofit names provide scholarships
Speaker 3: for other opportunities to high school students who demonstrate an
Speaker 3: essence of creativity and joy. Anyway, sad for the family.

Speaker 3: you want to call feel free five one thirty at
Speaker 3: eight hundred eight two three talk him five fifty on
Speaker 3: AT and T phones. Hey, look, drones made it to
Speaker 3: the stack of stupid. Seventy two year old retiree used
Speaker 3: a nine millimeter handgun. I'm sorry, I find this comical
Speaker 3: and funny, even though it is criminal and I'm not
Speaker 3: encouraging anyone to do it anyway, use a nine millimeter
Speaker 3: handgun to shoot a Walmart Deriver delivery drone that was
Speaker 3: hovering over his home in Florida. He struck a plea
Speaker 3: deal that could, they say, result in eventual dismissal of
Speaker 3: the felony and misdemeanor counts. Dennis Win going to enter
Speaker 3: a pre trial intervention program offered by the prosecutors that,
Speaker 3: upon successful completion, will result in the dropping of the
Speaker 3: criminal charges. This pre trial intervention program, similar to probation,
Speaker 3: can last a year and offered to defendants with no
Speaker 3: significant criminal history charged with criminal information by discharging a
Speaker 3: firearm in public, which is a misdemeanor, and criminal mischief,
Speaker 3: a third degree felony. Since damage to the drone payload
Speaker 3: system exceeded one thousand dollars, during the November twenty seventh
Speaker 3: court conference, when also ordered to immediately pay five thousand
Speaker 3: dollars in restitution to a company called Drone Up Delivery,
Speaker 3: a partner with Walmart that owned the drone that was
Speaker 3: hit by one single bullet fired from his six hour
Speaker 3: nine millimeters pistol Nice Choice. When former New Jersey Fire
Speaker 3: captain was arrested in late June at his home in Claremont, Orlando,
Speaker 3: Florida suburb after Drone Up employees told Cobbs that their
Speaker 3: drone was fired upon while it flew over the residential area.
Speaker 3: A two man drone up team was in the neighborhood
Speaker 3: conducting what they called a mock delivery to attract a
Speaker 3: business and interest in the new Walmart delivery program. Drone
Speaker 3: was flying at a height of two hundred and thirty
Speaker 3: feet before it dropped down to seventy five feet to
Speaker 3: demonstrate the deployment of a cable to which a Walmart
Speaker 3: package would be attached. Went to investigators that he was
Speaker 3: working on his pool equipment when he heard the drone
Speaker 3: whirling around his home. After trying to show off the drone,
Speaker 3: he said, he pulled out his firearm from a gun
Speaker 3: safe and fired.
Speaker 1: His quote.
Speaker 3: Now, when they say I hit it, so I must
Speaker 3: be a good shot. I was thinking that myself. Seventy
Speaker 3: eight feet out, you know, and squeezing off around in
Speaker 3: a moving target, not bad, he said. A cord to
Speaker 3: the police body CAMRA recorded the captured Winds confession. Yes,
Speaker 3: I shot at it. Then he said, how much trouble
Speaker 3: am I? In claiming that he was unaware the drone
Speaker 3: was part of the Walmart fleet, would explained that he
Speaker 3: had passed experiences with drones flying over his house and
Speaker 3: thought they were surveilling him. He didn further explain why
Speaker 3: he thought his home on a quiet cul a sack
Speaker 3: purchased what they said here for a half a million
Speaker 3: dollars back in oh seven was the target of prior
Speaker 3: aerial monitoring. I don't know why you even have to
Speaker 3: have that anyway. When the drone up workers heard gunfire
Speaker 3: and saw Winn holding a handgun towards the sky, they
Speaker 3: ran back to their van, while the drone returned to
Speaker 3: the Walmart super center about four miles away. While when
Speaker 3: police say acknowledged the reckless nature of his actions, he
Speaker 3: made an odd comment while officers gently handcuffed him in front,
Speaker 3: quote I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe,
Speaker 3: when laughed, to no reaction from the sheriff's deputies. I'll
Speaker 3: allow you to use your own memory skills and recall
Speaker 3: what he is referring to with the I can't breathe
Speaker 3: comment five forty six right now forty five krsit de
Speaker 3: talk station.
Speaker 1: QCE five to fifty one.
Speaker 3: Coming up with fifty two at the five KRSIT talk
Speaker 3: station tech front of me, Dave Hatter or come over
Speaker 3: the next hour six point thirty. Meantime, stack is stupid
Speaker 3: and a real short one here up razing. I draw
Speaker 3: that one on myself. Twenty one year old Rutgers student's
Speaker 3: been arrested after a year long search for a naked
Speaker 3: guy who was seen performing leude acts on the Rutgers
Speaker 3: campus at an apartment complex in South Brunswick. Gehd goins, Yes,
Speaker 3: his first name is gi Hod, facing charges including criminal
Speaker 3: sexual contact in connection with a dozen incidents. Prosecutor say
Speaker 3: was seen wearing only a ski mask while harassing people
Speaker 3: at the Rutgers Library in Piscataway as well as the
Speaker 3: Royal Oaks apartment complex in Monmouth Junction. I guess that's
Speaker 3: his way of waging GHD Pennsylvania man. We go to Athens, Pennsylvania,
Speaker 3: where man was arrested after he was found in a hotel,
Speaker 3: of course, naked and and spitting on an officer's leg.
Speaker 3: That is what's in the criminal complaint from the Athens
Speaker 3: Township Police Department. The criminal complaint says Thomas Stage twenty
Speaker 3: seven charged with indecent exposure, disorderly conduct, public drunkenness, and harassment.
Speaker 3: They stay December eighth, round seven thirty pm. An employee
Speaker 3: at the micro Microtel Inn and Swedes called police regarding
Speaker 3: an adult male later identified as Status of Course, running
Speaker 3: around the hotel naked. Officers located him in the hotel,
Speaker 3: still naked. They noted he appeared to be under the
Speaker 3: influence of alcohol or perhaps a controlled substance, also difficulty standing,
Speaker 3: having to use walls and doors to support himself. Complaints
Speaker 3: said he then spit on an officer's leg, leading to
Speaker 3: his detainment, transport of the Athen Township Police Department, and
Speaker 3: then taken to the Robert Packer Hospital because of his condition.
Speaker 3: Oh that's hilarious. You know I printed my own stacks
Speaker 3: too this morning. I have actually a two page lengthier article.
Speaker 3: It's the same one. See what you do is you
Speaker 3: search for naked and arrested on your search engine, and
Speaker 3: that's how you end up with a Friday stack.
Speaker 1: Is stupid? Hmm.
Speaker 3: Let's move over to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where the Bureau of
Speaker 3: Police there say it's conducting an internal investigation into an
Speaker 3: incident involving officers arresting a naked woman. Specifically, Annie Nuniez
Speaker 3: said it happened to her. She sent a video to
Speaker 3: local news there. Newsage showing officers escorting her out and
Speaker 3: into the back of a troll car while she had
Speaker 3: no clothes on. Although the arrest was in August, she
Speaker 3: is speaking out about it for the first time. Quote,
Speaker 3: they treated me like an animal. Not even an animal
Speaker 3: should be treated like that, she said. She said her
Speaker 3: life's different now. She says, I barely go outside and
Speaker 3: stay in my house all the time, scared to come outside.
Speaker 3: Not just scared, but I feel like my self respect
Speaker 3: was taken away from me, my dignity, everything Courdiing to
Speaker 3: nuna Is, her ex boyfriend initially called the police to
Speaker 3: the home on Prince Street after the two had a fight.
Speaker 3: According to Nunas, I asked him to remove himself from
Speaker 3: the property and he couldn't because he had an ankle.
Speaker 3: Monitor life choices when it comes to selecting your partners anyway,
Speaker 3: so he decided he was going to call the police
Speaker 3: so he wouldn't be in no trouble with his probation officer.
Speaker 3: I'll excuse her grammatical inaccuracy. She does admit alcohol is involved.
Speaker 3: Coordeed's statement when they were dragging me out, they were
Speaker 3: trying to drag me out naked. He said, no, I
Speaker 3: didn't call for this. I called so you guys could
Speaker 3: come remove me, not her. She didn't do anything because
Speaker 3: the directionist who stormed Capitol Hell Patriots Sean McMahon going
Speaker 3: to love with the sound bites Nuna has also amssed this.
Speaker 3: He did in fact resist officers quote because I didn't
Speaker 3: feel comfortable with him touching me. That's why I refused
Speaker 3: to risk. My daughter was there hysterocracy, saw everything, said
Speaker 3: she has to put clothes on, but they refused to
Speaker 3: let me do anything. According to complaint five with the
Speaker 3: Police Department, local news that are contacted police, but officer
Speaker 3: said they can't release specific details about the case at
Speaker 3: least at this time. Five fifty six fifty five kr

Speaker 3: confronting the president's number one best seller, a great Christmas gift.
Speaker 3: But then again, I can recommend every single one of
Speaker 3: Bill O'Reilly's books, The Killing series books are really truly outstanding.
Speaker 3: Maybe you can you can't put those down, Just open
Speaker 3: it up and just be sure and allocate yourself a
Speaker 3: couple of hours to read through them, because it's a
Speaker 3: very difficult task to put down. You can feel free
Speaker 3: to call if you've got something you want to talk
Speaker 3: about five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty, five hundred,
Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty two three talk ton five fifty
Speaker 3: on eight T and T phones. Going back to this
Speaker 3: Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, the report that was
Speaker 3: released just the other day about the confidential human sources
Speaker 3: that were in and outside of the Capitol Building. These
Speaker 3: were confidential human sources that the FBI had connection with
Speaker 3: and we're working with literally and as I pointed out
Speaker 3: last hour, you aren't a CCHS and it can't be
Speaker 3: designated as one unless you have a connection with the FBI.
Speaker 3: That's how you become a chs whether or not you're paid,
Speaker 3: you are working or cooperating with or otherwise you know,
Speaker 3: engage with the FBI, right, Okay, So how come it
Speaker 3: is that? And you know, I'll go directly to Jim Jordan,
Speaker 3: who had this to say. This report confirms what we suspected.
Speaker 3: The FBI had encouraged and tasked confidential human sources to
Speaker 3: be at the Capitol that day. There were twenty six total.
Speaker 3: President four of them entered the Capitol and were not charged,
Speaker 3: which is not the same treatment as the other Americans received.
Speaker 3: This has been our concern all along, agencies being weaponized
Speaker 3: against the American people. That is not how our system
Speaker 3: is supposed to work. Thomas Massey, Congressman, astutely observed. It's
Speaker 3: no coincidence the FBI Director Ray announced his resignation just
Speaker 3: prior to the release of the IG report exposing activities
Speaker 3: of FBI compon financial human sources at the Capitol on
Speaker 3: January sixth. For four years I press for answers on this.
Speaker 3: Now the malfeasans is finally exposed to close. Quote Congressman
Speaker 3: Thomas Massey, Now what is Ultimately, you know, I made
Speaker 3: a lot of comments in the last hour about the
Speaker 3: specific report, drawing questions and concerns about what the report says,
Speaker 3: what it alludes to, and what it specifically does not say.
Speaker 3: But I found rather interesting that three of these confidential sources,
Speaker 3: which the FBI did direct or otherwise say you can
Speaker 3: enter the building or whatever. One FBI field office tasked
Speaker 3: and I think that word emphasized means that they were
Speaker 3: paid to do this, but at least they were specifically
Speaker 3: directed this non FBI employee confidential human source to go
Speaker 3: to DC to report the activities of a predicated domestic
Speaker 3: terrorism suspect who is separately planning to travity see for
Speaker 3: the January sixth electoral certification. A second FBI field office
Speaker 3: tasked a confidential human source to travel a DC to
Speaker 3: potentially report on two domestic terrorism subjects from another FBI
Speaker 3: field office who were planning to travel to DC for
Speaker 3: the events. A third who told they're handling agent that
Speaker 3: they intended to travel to DC on their own initiative
Speaker 3: for those January sixth events, was similarly tasked by that
Speaker 3: field office to potentially report on too domestic terrorism subjects
Speaker 3: from another FBI Field Office who were planning to go
Speaker 3: to January sixth. Now, what do we have right there?
Speaker 3: In the report? The FBI is aware of what they
Speaker 3: believed to be domestic terrorism suspects. Now I don't know
Speaker 3: how much evidence they had on this, but they labeled
Speaker 3: them potential domestic terrorists, domestic terrorists who were known to
Speaker 3: be going to Washington, d C. January sixth ergo. They said, well, okay,
Speaker 3: confidential human source, non FBI employee, would you please go
Speaker 3: and follow these domestic terrorists potential domestic terrorists around and
Speaker 3: report on them for us. And the reason I'm pointing
Speaker 3: this out is because, wait a second. Now, the FBI
Speaker 3: says it wasn't responsible for security at large, But if
Speaker 3: they think domestic terrorists are going to be known to
Speaker 3: them and on their radar, wouldn't the FBI be working
Speaker 3: with maybe the Capitol Hill Police or maybe talking to
Speaker 3: the President and the Secret Service and other folks who
Speaker 3: might have provided better general security than what was provided,
Speaker 3: which was deminimous at best. For the events. We have
Speaker 3: what we believe to be known domestic terrorists. They may
Speaker 3: show up with bombs. We have no idea what they're
Speaker 3: going to do. We've actually got com financial human sources
Speaker 3: that are going to be following them around. We've tasked
Speaker 3: them to do that. Maybe, don't you think maybe we
Speaker 3: might want to beef up security a little bit considering
Speaker 3: the gravity of the events and the historic nature of
Speaker 3: the events that are going on, you think maybe, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: we weren't responsible specifically. The report from Horowitz and the
Speaker 3: the Inspector General's Office says the FBI did not have
Speaker 3: primary responsibility for intelligence collection or even security on January sixth,
Speaker 3: but nonetheless recognized the potential for violence and took significant
Speaker 3: appropriate steps to prepare for this supporting role.
Speaker 1: Well, it sounds to me like the only significant.
Speaker 3: And appropriate steps they took was to tell confidential human
Speaker 3: sources to follow these believed to be domestic terrorists around
Speaker 3: a report on them. Did the FBI recommend more security barriers?
Speaker 3: Did the FBI recommend maybe having a whole bunch of
Speaker 3: police presents around. Did the FBI recommend maybe having I
Speaker 3: don't know, the National Guards show up or whoever could
Speaker 3: have provided greater security for the event that would have
Speaker 3: prevented people from storming the Capitol building. No, I think
Speaker 3: they wanted that to happen again, going back to the
Speaker 3: optics point that I've made time and time and time again,
Speaker 3: it looked terrible for Donald Trump and any Trump supporter
Speaker 3: that that mass and that crowd stormed the Capitol Building
Speaker 3: in spite of the fact that the vast majority of
Speaker 3: them literally did nothing. We spent the next several years
Speaker 3: spending countless millions and millions of dollars using every conceivable
Speaker 3: method to find out who every single human being was
Speaker 3: that was there, in order to track them down and
Speaker 3: in many cases imprison them, including old ladies. Oh if
Speaker 3: they only put that much effort and energy into tracking
Speaker 3: down people who literally burned down public property, hurt police officers,
Speaker 3: tipped over and ruined police vehicles during the Black Lives
Speaker 3: Matter protest or Occupy Wall Street or fill in the
Speaker 3: blank on your favorite left wing organization who is out
Speaker 3: rioting in the streets and actually literally committing crimes so
Speaker 3: they know that there are potential domestic terrorists heading there.
Speaker 3: And yet well, we didn't have primary responsibility. And it
Speaker 3: also points out that well can concludes no FBI confidential
Speaker 3: human sourcess were authorized to enter the Capitol Building or
Speaker 3: restricted areas Otherwise break the law on January sixth, Nor
Speaker 3: was any HS directed by the FBI to encourage others
Speaker 3: to commit illegal acts on January sixth, and yet we
Speaker 3: know they did. So I'm disturbed by this, and I
Speaker 3: don't think it does the FBI a whole lot of
Speaker 3: good given what this report says. And so yeah, I
Speaker 3: think our skepticism, our jaded cynicism, our jaundice I brow
Speaker 3: raised at the activities of the FBI in connection with
Speaker 3: this event are justified in every way, shape and form
Speaker 3: in this report concludes that hence the Congressman or the
Speaker 3: comments from Jim Jordan five p One three seven four
Speaker 3: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to
Speaker 3: three dog Tom five fifty on AT and T funds.
Speaker 3: Feel free to call in chime in if you disagree
Speaker 3: with me. I'd love to hear from you. What's your conclusion.
Speaker 3: And I don't want to indict the entire FBI. I
Speaker 3: know many of them to be decent people. In fact,
Speaker 3: I went to law school with the guy who worked
Speaker 3: for the FBI for like twenty years. Good man, solid man,
Speaker 3: the kind of person you want in the FBI. But
Speaker 3: it doesn't mean that the organization itself in the swamp
Speaker 3: of DC isn't completely politicized, at least law rather not
Speaker 3: completely largely politicized. And this reveals to me, or suggests
Speaker 3: to me, a level of incompetence for not perhaps encouraging
Speaker 3: a greater law enforcement presence give them what they thought
Speaker 3: was going to happen. Is it incompetence? A pause for
Speaker 3: a moment as you contemplate that and shift over to
Speaker 3: the Secret Service and the day Donald Trump got his earshot?
Speaker 3: Was that incompetence? Was it gross negligence or was it
Speaker 3: intentional negligence to create an environment where it was actually
Speaker 3: possible for Donald Trump to get shot? You see, when
Speaker 3: we find this out about these organizations who are so
Speaker 3: you know, oh my god, there are you know, you
Speaker 3: can't touch them. They're great, they're important, important, and they're
Speaker 3: all decent people. Well, these raised questions as to whether
Speaker 3: or not that is in appropriate conclusion.
Speaker 1: Now doesn't it.
Speaker 3: So there's a facilitation of an opportunity for them to
Speaker 3: advance their political agenda or are they merely grossly incompetent?

Speaker 3: least there's another person happy about it. I thought this was,
Speaker 3: you know, kind of connected. Well I'm drawing connections here anyway,
Speaker 3: So move over briefly to Senator Joni Ernst Iowa. She
Speaker 3: introduced legislation to kick out thirty percent of the Small
Speaker 3: Business Administration to somewhere outside of Washington, d C. Now,
Speaker 3: that was previously introduced. That the strategic Withdrawal of Agencies
Speaker 3: for meaningful placements the swamp agg was last year. Basically
Speaker 3: the idea of getting a lot of these agencies out
Speaker 3: of DC, where it is almost one hundred percent Democrat,
Speaker 3: And I wonder where the DEI folks are in all
Speaker 3: of this diversity, equity and inclusion. Nobody wants any Conservatives, Republicans,
Speaker 3: or maybe even little il libertarians like myself involved in
Speaker 3: government in any way, shape and form. And that's literally
Speaker 3: what you've got in Washington, DC. You can't find a
Speaker 3: conservative minded individual there. So of course the employees are
Speaker 3: drawn from this collective of all left wingers. Of course,
Speaker 3: everybody in any administrative capacity non elected. We get a
Speaker 3: choice when it comes to our elected officials, but insofar
Speaker 3: as who gets hired, you're drawn from a pool of
Speaker 3: all blue Democrats, and the US have to pivot over
Speaker 3: to a story that could have been in the stack
Speaker 3: of stupid. But I really feel sorry for folks who
Speaker 3: are conservative, Like, ask yourself this question, Where does Thomas
Speaker 3: Massey eat if he wants to go to a restaurant
Speaker 3: when he's serving the public in Washington, d C. Do
Speaker 3: you think it's safe for him to go to a restaurant?
Speaker 3: Fox News reporting food workers in Washington, DC pledged to
Speaker 3: refuse service and cause this is scary. Other inconveniences for
Speaker 3: members of the incoming Trump administration when they go out
Speaker 3: and dine over the next four years.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's great.
Speaker 3: DC restaurant veteran Zach Hoffman interviewed by Fox News. I
Speaker 3: guess now a manager at the National Democratic Club quote,
Speaker 3: you expect the masses to just ignore RFK eating at
Speaker 3: Le Diplomat on a Sunday morning after a few mimosas,
Speaker 3: and not to throw a drink in his face. One
Speaker 3: described as fine dining bartender named Nancy. This person theoretically
Speaker 3: has the power to take away your rights, but I
Speaker 3: have the power to make you wait twenty minutes to
Speaker 3: get your entree. There's a lot of opportunities for us
Speaker 3: as workers to feel like we're taking our power back
Speaker 3: while not necessarily ruining someone's life, give them a subtle
Speaker 3: inconvenience feels like a little bit of a win for us. Now,
Speaker 3: pause for a moment and contemplate that, especially folks out
Speaker 3: in the listening audience who have actually worked in the
Speaker 3: food service business. And I'm sure there are people out
Speaker 3: there with shall we say, metaphorically or literally, unclean hands
Speaker 3: when it comes to the service or perhaps the food
Speaker 3: that you provided to someone who irritated you or rubbed
Speaker 3: you the wrong way. What goes on in the kitchen
Speaker 3: when the employees are all painfully aware because you, as
Speaker 3: an elected official law and literally all over the television
Speaker 3: social media, your photograph is literally known as where with
Speaker 3: his modern internet age. Hey look, Thomas Massey walked into
Speaker 3: the restaurant. Hey look, one of Trump's cabinet members is
Speaker 3: out there wanting to dine on this really expensive steak.
Speaker 3: Yeah it's table four. Let's provide him with special treatment.
Speaker 3: And yes, you can let your imagination run with that one,
Speaker 3: folks six twenty six. But that's the collective in DC,
Speaker 3: No wonder. Folks like me think it's really a pretty
Speaker 3: good idea for Jony Urse to Urne to introduce a
Speaker 3: bill to move a lot of these agencies out of
Speaker 3: that well area that lacks diversity.
Speaker 1: Stick around.
Speaker 3: We got Tech Friday coming up next after Chimney Care
Speaker 3: Fireplace and Stove. Wonderful folks, those folks are, and they
Speaker 3: take great care of you, and you should have them
Speaker 3: take great care of you, which involves an inspection of
Speaker 3: whatever kind of firebox or freestanding stove you've got. You
Speaker 3: needed inspective for your safety. It's all about safety. Then
Speaker 3: you can enjoy the comfort confidently. And it's I mean,
Speaker 3: I love a fire in the fireplace. Matter of fact,
Speaker 3: I lit it last night. I'm blessed to have this
Speaker 3: beautiful fireplace insert from Chimneycare Fireplace and Stove installed professionally
Speaker 3: by them after the inspection told me I needed to
Speaker 3: replace it because what I had was quite literally dangerous
Speaker 3: and even perhaps deadly. And that's the problem. If you
Speaker 3: have a serious issue like perhaps carbon monoxide or maybe
Speaker 3: a chimney that's completely blocked or it's clogged with soot
Speaker 3: and it can catch on fire, come on, have it
Speaker 3: inspected by the experts at Chimneycare Fireplace and Stove locally
Speaker 3: in and operated since nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 1: They enjoy an a.
Speaker 3: Plus with a better business beer that got all kinds
Speaker 3: of awards and properly so literally do everything connected with
Speaker 3: fireplaces and everything you know similarly situated, like the freestanding stuff.
Speaker 3: You want one installed, have them install it. You want
Speaker 3: your fireplace inspected absolutely, and wood burners particularly. It's an
Speaker 3: annual thing you really should think about your safety, So
Speaker 3: call them and schedule the appointment. While they're there, have
Speaker 3: them clean the dryer event out, or separately, call them
Speaker 3: to have your driver event cleaned out.
Speaker 1: At minimum.
Speaker 3: If your drive event's clawed, you are wasting a lot
Speaker 3: of money because without that flow of air, it takes
Speaker 3: a lot longer for the clothes to drive. But it
Speaker 3: also does represent a safety issue. Chimneycare Fireplace and Stow

Speaker 3: dot COM's Tech Friday with Dave Hatter from interest I
Speaker 3: t the best in the business. You have a business,
Speaker 3: you have computers. You need interest it to help you
Speaker 3: figure out the problems you might face. Welcome back, Dave Hatter.
Speaker 3: Let's dive right on into it. My dear friend, QR
Speaker 3: code fishing. I was talking to Sean, who's coming for
Speaker 3: Joe today. I don't scan QR codes, man, I just
Speaker 3: don't do well.
Speaker 6: Brian sadly, that's the best plan so real quick. QR
Speaker 6: code stands for quick response code. It's that weird, funky
Speaker 6: square bar code type thing that have become very popular
Speaker 6: in the last five or six years. Barcodes have been
Speaker 6: around for a long time. The benefit of a QR
Speaker 6: code over a traditional barcode is you can store a
Speaker 6: lot more information in the QR code. You know, traditional
Speaker 6: bar codes pretty limited in how much data you can
Speaker 6: actually put in one. With a QR code, it can
Speaker 6: be much more expansive in terms of what's in it.
Speaker 6: Now they are very handy. I can't think of any
Speaker 6: modern phae that doesn't have the capability to scan one.
Speaker 6: They've become very popular. They're everywhere. You know, you're pullingto
Speaker 6: a parking lot, it says, scan the code to pay
Speaker 6: for parking. And of course, Brian, as we've seen so
Speaker 6: many times over the last ten years we've been doing this,
Speaker 6: the bad guys come hm. People are using these things.
Speaker 6: They're everywhere. People don't understand though, that from the naked eye,
Speaker 6: you cannot look at a QR code and know what
Speaker 6: it does right and start using them as a way
Speaker 6: to steal your money, steal your data, and all the
Speaker 6: other fun things they like to do to us. So, yeah,
Speaker 6: it's a it's a real problem. And like you, I
Speaker 6: am not going to scan a random QR code for
Speaker 6: any reason. I just won't do it. In fact, I'll
Speaker 6: tell you I was downtown yesterday for a meeting looking
Speaker 6: for a place to park. The first lot I pulled in, Handy,
Speaker 6: you got to scan the code, Yes, I'll be moving
Speaker 6: on to another lot, and I did.
Speaker 1: I've done that for that reason alone.
Speaker 3: You know why, because it's been probably a couple of
Speaker 3: years ago when you pointed out that if you scan
Speaker 3: a random QR code you may be inviting someone to
Speaker 3: nefariously hack into your phone or otherwise rip you off.
Speaker 3: Why would I ever scan one of these things if
Speaker 3: it's that simple mean, sadly.
Speaker 6: Sadly, Brian, You're exactly right, and sadly, there are well
Speaker 6: documented instances across the country where bad guys, like let's
Speaker 6: say you pull up to a parking meter on the
Speaker 6: street and it's got a QR code on it to scan, right, yep,
Speaker 6: I can now for me. I can tell you if
Speaker 6: I don't have change and the parking meter does not
Speaker 6: take a credit card, I'm gonna move on. Because it's
Speaker 6: well documented the bad guys have printed their own QR
Speaker 6: cod takes them over top of the legitimate QR code.
Speaker 1: It's like the old It's like the old school.
Speaker 3: When you had the credit card things over the ATMs,
Speaker 3: when they would put a fake credit card scan over
Speaker 3: the top of the one that's on the atm, quite
Speaker 3: often looking just like the real ATM thing.
Speaker 1: But excuse me, when you scan.
Speaker 3: Your card and it takes your information and of course
Speaker 3: your password and it rips you off and then they
Speaker 3: electronically transmit that to that's old school way. Now it
Speaker 3: also takes is a sticker that looks like the QR
Speaker 3: code and you place it over the top of the
Speaker 3: one that's legitimate. Guess what, you just had your data
Speaker 3: ripped off and now you are out money or whatever.
Speaker 1: This is crazy.
Speaker 6: It is crazy again. QR codes are not inherently bad.
Speaker 6: They have a place, you know, they're super handy for businesses.
Speaker 6: I get it factory settings because again it's much more
Speaker 6: powerful than a traditional old school serial barcode. But sadly
Speaker 6: we see again the bad feet people are super creative
Speaker 6: and very devious. And I will not just ran on
Speaker 6: to scan a QR code but the real threat now.
Speaker 6: So hopefully everyone who's hearing this will at least question
Speaker 6: should I scan this QR code? Now? If I go
Speaker 6: into a restaurant I'm familiar with, you know, for a
Speaker 6: while during the pandemic, you had to scan the menus
Speaker 6: in all the Yeah, you know, I I might scan
Speaker 6: their menu. I might not. It just depends on how
Speaker 6: much I trust the restaurant. Again, if I have a
Speaker 6: high level of trust and what I'm getting, But what
Speaker 6: the bad guys are doing now, And I've actually had
Speaker 6: this happen here in interest where I get an email
Speaker 6: that appears to have come from our quote HR department
Speaker 6: about some kind of employee benefits or payroll or something.
Speaker 6: There's some problem, right, There's always a problem because they
Speaker 6: need that urgency, the social engineering aspect it is. And
Speaker 6: I'm supposed to scan a QR code. Now, why would
Speaker 6: your HR people internally in your company sends you a
Speaker 6: QR code that you have to get your phone out
Speaker 6: and scan. You're already in the frigging.
Speaker 3: System, right, I know that, And Dave, you know what else?
Speaker 3: You know it's twenty twenty four, and there is a presumption,
Speaker 3: and I think it's generally shared presumption that everybody's got
Speaker 3: a smartphone, But yes, what if you don't. My response
Speaker 3: will be I don't have a smartphone. I can't scan
Speaker 3: a QR code, so you can have to give me
Speaker 3: the real data period, end of story. And I got
Speaker 3: two words for you, and it ain't Happy Birthday. Hold on,
Speaker 3: we'll bring day back and we will talk about phishing
Speaker 3: attacks rising on Black Friday, shocking literally no one. But
Speaker 3: now it must have been about ten years old when
Speaker 3: I recorded that spot. Anyhow, Frustration no frustration with interest
Speaker 3: it dot com where you're gonna get the best possible
Speaker 3: help for all of your computer related needs. And of
Speaker 3: course they sponsored the segment which we have every Friday.
Speaker 3: It's Tech Friday with Dave hatter Dave moving over to
Speaker 3: phishing attacks shocking no one who pays any attention to this.
Speaker 3: See they were on the rise on Black Friday. How
Speaker 3: and why specifically, David.
Speaker 6: Yeah, let me finish that last thought since it's connected Brian,
Speaker 6: and then we'll jump right into this. That QR code idea,
Speaker 6: if you get an email from an internal source, I
Speaker 6: wouldn't Again, I'm not going to scan any QR code
Speaker 6: generally speaking, unless I am a super high level confidence
Speaker 6: I can trust it. But your internal work colleagues, your
Speaker 6: HR department, your boss is not going to send you
Speaker 6: in your internal email a code you have to get
Speaker 6: your phone out to scan. It doesn't mean why would
Speaker 6: you transfer from the computer you're already working on, where
Speaker 6: you could just click a link to go to the
Speaker 6: system right, get out your phone and have to scan
Speaker 6: a code. If you get a QR code in an email,
Speaker 6: do not scan. I would not scan any QR to
Speaker 6: leave the emails. Yes, And one of the reasons why
Speaker 6: they have shifted to this method is because even extremely
Speaker 6: advanced anti virus anti spam systems that try to keep
Speaker 6: those bad emails from being delivered can't read that QR
Speaker 6: code and know what it does. So this is another
Speaker 6: way for the bad guys to do phishing, but yet
Speaker 6: deliver something to you. It's more likely to get through
Speaker 6: and pray on the fact that many people do not
Speaker 6: realize QR codes can be malicious. So if you get
Speaker 6: a QR covie email, do not scan it and then fishing.
Speaker 3: Trust me, if someone really, really, really really intended you
Speaker 3: to use that and want you to use it within
Speaker 3: your business, they're going to follow up with a phone
Speaker 3: call at some point. Hey dude, I really literally save you.
Speaker 6: Yes, or they'll just send you a traditional.
Speaker 1: EXA Hell.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Heaven forbid someone actually engage in a conversation with
Speaker 3: someone these days, Lord Almighty. Anyway, and my friend, my
Speaker 3: friend Maureen said, well, QR codes also need to scan
Speaker 3: for Amazon returns. I'm like, listen, I've returned stuff from Amazon. Yes,
Speaker 3: they have sent me the return you know, a postage
Speaker 3: thing with a QR code on it.
Speaker 1: You know what I do.
Speaker 3: I stick it on a damn box and take it
Speaker 3: down to UPS. I never scan it. Why would I
Speaker 3: boy scanning something they sent me. I'm returning it. It's
Speaker 3: their return label. I don't care what they put on it. Anyway,
Speaker 3: phishing attacks on Black Friday? What's this one all about?
Speaker 6: So you know, fishing continues to be a gigantic problem.
Speaker 6: I mean, as a business at Intrust, we just see
Speaker 6: tons and tons of this with our clients. Now, ideally
Speaker 6: your business has advanced anti spam, anti phishing tools that
Speaker 6: are trying to reduce the likelihood that these emails get
Speaker 6: to people. And a reminder to folks, right, phishing comes
Speaker 6: in many forms. It's traditionally email, it could be text,
Speaker 6: now they'll call you. So understand, phishing has a much
Speaker 6: broader eye term or scope and just email at this point.
Speaker 6: But you know, come to the holidays, they know people
Speaker 6: are shopping, they know people are looking for deals. They
Speaker 6: know people don't understand things like hey, that QR code
Speaker 6: and the email could be malicious. And here's the other thing, Brian.
Speaker 6: Folks have to remember, it is very easy to send
Speaker 6: a spoofed phishing email. It costs next to nothing, so
Speaker 6: at scale, I can send out billions of these things
Speaker 6: just hoping. That's the whole idea of fishing. Right, I'm
Speaker 6: going to cast my hook out there and see what
Speaker 6: I catch. It's so easy to do this. It costs
Speaker 6: next to nothing. They're getting much more creative, especially thanks
Speaker 6: degenerative AI tools, where the old red flags and the
Speaker 6: grammar's bad and the punctuation doesn't make sense and et cetera,
Speaker 6: that's all gone away. So of course the fishing is
Speaker 6: getting better. More people are online, there's more targets, and
Speaker 6: then naturally, when you get to you know, a holiday
Speaker 6: shopping time, when they know people are going to be
Speaker 6: looking for deals, it just makes sense they're going to
Speaker 6: ramp this up. Right. They're going to go to Walmart's
Speaker 6: website or Target or Amazon filling the blank. They're going
Speaker 6: to copy stuff off of it. They're going to send
Speaker 6: you emails that look exactly like the legitimate thing. The
Speaker 6: links might point to a website that looks exactly like
Speaker 6: the legitimate things. So you know, a understand that people
Speaker 6: who research this see these giant increases, you know, Black
Speaker 6: Monday or Cyber Monday, Black Friday, these days see these
Speaker 6: huge volumes because they know people are looking for that deal.
Speaker 6: People are in a hurry, people have limited amounts of time.
Speaker 6: People don't understand all of the threats here, so ultimately,
Speaker 6: you know, be extra alert and if a deal seems
Speaker 6: too good, to be true. It probably is. And if
Speaker 6: you get something and you're interested in buying it, then
Speaker 6: you know, go to the legitimate site. Yes, it's like
Speaker 6: it came from target. Open a web browser, typein target
Speaker 6: dot com. There you go browser typean Amazon dot com
Speaker 6: and go from there.
Speaker 3: Am folks, Amen, Amen, underscored exclamation point in bold. We
Speaker 3: got one more. This is an interesting one coming up.

Speaker 3: If it's about KRCD talk station interest it dot com
Speaker 3: Thanks to interest it T for sponsoring this wonderful informative.
Speaker 3: Please pay attention. And Heed Dave had her advice segment
Speaker 3: every Friday and onto deep nude AI image generators. So
Speaker 3: what's the difference between nude artificial intelligence generator and deep
Speaker 3: nude artificial intelligence generator?
Speaker 1: Does it look beneath your skin?
Speaker 6: We're in a crazy world, aren't we, Brian? But hey,
Speaker 6: real quick, I want to give a quick shout out
Speaker 6: to Greg Knox and his team over Knox Manufacturing Solutions,
Speaker 6: because I'm sure they're listening this morning, and I'm going
Speaker 6: over to do some cybersecurity awareness training for them. So
Speaker 6: we'll be talking about all of these things in much
Speaker 6: more detail. But this deep new things. It's all the
Speaker 6: things we talk about wrapped in a new package designed
Speaker 6: to steal your data and steal your money. So basically,
Speaker 6: the bad guys are using deep fake capability. We've talked
Speaker 6: about this so many times over the years. Right, you've
Speaker 6: got synthetic media, generative AI tools things like chat, GPT
Speaker 6: that can generate content, text, video, whatever. At this point,
Speaker 6: and we've talked about deep fakes, the idea that you're
Speaker 6: going to use these tools to generate synthetic media that
Speaker 6: is fake somehow, audio video of speech written by someone
Speaker 6: that that didn't happen. And if you recall Brian back
Speaker 6: when this whole deep fake thing first took off, a
Speaker 6: lot of it was geared around like celebrity porn, right,
Speaker 6: they would take these tools and generate deep fake celebrity porn.
Speaker 6: And you know what they're doing now is using these
Speaker 6: tools to social engineer you. Social engineering is behind almost
Speaker 6: all of this stuff, right, Fishing is the delivery mechanism.
Speaker 6: Then they're trying to social engineer you into doing something.
Speaker 6: There's it's a terrible thing happening with your account. Scan
Speaker 6: this QR code. Right, So what these guys are doing
Speaker 6: is they're using these generative AI tools to theoretically create
Speaker 6: videos where you can upload a picture of someone and
Speaker 6: it will take their clothes off quote unquote. Now there's
Speaker 6: a whole separate topic around this sextortion. I mean, this
Speaker 6: is a terrible thing, right, It's already caused kids to
Speaker 6: kill themselves. But the angle here is you go to
Speaker 6: this free site quote unquote, you upload a photo of
Speaker 6: someone that you want to have their clothes taken off
Speaker 6: by this AI tool, and it's all a thinly veiled
Speaker 6: guys to get you to send them something. They don't
Speaker 6: really care what it is. They tell you, oh, in
Speaker 6: a second, you'll be able to download this photo, and
Speaker 6: once you're actually downloading is something known as a WRAP
Speaker 6: remote Access tool or trogen sometimes it's called and basically
Speaker 6: it is a tool that would allow the hackers to
Speaker 6: take control of your device and pretty much do whatever
Speaker 6: they want it. You know, it's right up there with
Speaker 6: keystroke Blogger in terms of the nefariousness of it, because
Speaker 6: once I get my RAT installed on your device, my
Speaker 6: remote access tool, I literally can take control of your machine.
Speaker 6: If you don't know how, if you'd a you may
Speaker 6: not even know I'm in there, be if you don't
Speaker 6: know how to get me out of there, other than
Speaker 6: just turning it off, there's really nothing you can stop
Speaker 6: me from doing, I mean literally anything. So it's it's
Speaker 6: a very innovative but really evil way to trick people
Speaker 6: into downloading malicious software that would allow the hackers to
Speaker 6: take control of your device. And now again it might
Speaker 6: be your work device. Hopefully you'd have protections in place
Speaker 6: to prevent this, but once it's on there again, they
Speaker 6: could pretty much do anything like get into your bank
Speaker 6: account and steal all your money. So it's I just
Speaker 6: can't state enough West, people are super creative and you
Speaker 6: should be very careful about anything you're doing on the internet.
Speaker 3: Be careful with anything you're doing on the internet. That
Speaker 3: sums it up every single week right there, examply. But
Speaker 3: you know, in terms of bank account, I mean, were
Speaker 3: you quite often and I have heeded your advice as
Speaker 3: I always do two factor authentication. How can someone do
Speaker 3: that and end up, you know, overcoming the reality that
Speaker 3: they have to have my cell phone in their hand
Speaker 3: in order to get into my bank account.
Speaker 6: Well, first off, if you have multi factor authentication turned on,
Speaker 6: and even though it's not perfect, folks, they're increasingly figuring
Speaker 6: out ways to work around it, you should turn that.
Speaker 6: I know it creates inconvenience for people.
Speaker 1: Oh come on, that's not that bad.
Speaker 6: Well that's what I was gonna say. Brian The one
Speaker 6: to two seconds of inconvenience might be the difference between
Speaker 6: you can retire someday and someday you're eating alpo working
Speaker 6: at Walmart because all your money's been still. I mean,
Speaker 6: it's really that simple. Again, it's not perfect, and there
Speaker 6: are new and better ways of doing it coming out.
Speaker 6: But once I'm on your device, right once I get
Speaker 6: into your device, there's almost nothing I can't do, especially
Speaker 6: if I'm skilled and im persistent. Could I potentially send
Speaker 6: you some sort of message that claims I'm from your
Speaker 6: bank and you need to give me that code and
Speaker 6: you go to your phone, or can I send you
Speaker 6: a potential push notifications as part of an MFA approach
Speaker 6: and you eventually either get tired of them and click
Speaker 6: on it anyway, or you don't really understand what's happening.
Speaker 6: So you're making a valid point. And it's one of
Speaker 6: the reasons why multi factor authentication is a powerful tool
Speaker 6: in your toolbox to defend against this kind of stuff.
Speaker 6: But if I can establish a persistent foothold in your computer,
Speaker 6: bad things are going to happen to you eventually, especially
Speaker 6: if I can determine because let's say you log into
Speaker 6: your bank account from that computer, and I'm in there
Speaker 6: watching or logging that somehow, and I see that you
Speaker 6: have a lot of money. I'll eventually figure out a
Speaker 6: way to convince you to do something it gets me
Speaker 6: to that money.
Speaker 3: Does that make sense, Well, I suppose it depends on
Speaker 3: who you're talking to. And I don't want to say
Speaker 3: I'm invincible and beyond the pale and incapable of being hacked,
Speaker 3: and I don't want to encourage anybody to try.
Speaker 1: But I've deleted.
Speaker 3: I have literally deleted emails from my own mother. I
Speaker 3: have not clicked on links my mom has sent me.
Speaker 3: You know why, because I don't know that she is
Speaker 3: watching out for this type of thing, or that she
Speaker 3: might inadvertently forward me something nefarious, and so I just deleted.
Speaker 3: She thinks I'm being rude or I'm ignoring her intentionally. No,
Speaker 3: I'm trying to protect myself care.
Speaker 6: You're just pointed out something that's really interesting, and I
Speaker 6: think people often I know, we're almost out of time.
Speaker 1: You were done.
Speaker 6: If I can break into your mom's account, I can
Speaker 6: send you things that will look like they came from her,
Speaker 6: and you have no reason to believe otherwise, unless you're
Speaker 6: a ten foil hat, not like the two of us. One.
Speaker 3: Well, and there you go, which is why I'll pick
Speaker 3: up the phone and call her and have a conversation.
Speaker 1: With her about it.
Speaker 3: Go out of band and have a conversation with your mom.
Speaker 3: It's an excuse to give your mom a call. Call
Speaker 3: your mom. Dave, God bless you, sir. Have a wonderful weekend,
Speaker 3: my friend. We'll talk next Friday. Keep up the great
Speaker 3: work intrust it dot com six fifty seven. Right now
Speaker 3: at your five KRC talkxation Warren Davidson, Congressman coming up
Speaker 3: next your voice.
Speaker 7: Thank you for taking my call. Your country gives us
Speaker 7: all somewhat to think about.
Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC the talk station, this report. It's seven
Speaker 3: o five here, fifty five KRCD talk station. Looking up
Speaker 3: at the phone bank lines, hoping that Congressman Warren Davidson
Speaker 3: a call in.
Speaker 1: I'll do.
Speaker 3: We have a cell phone number which you just gave
Speaker 3: to Sean McMahon. Tell mc mahon covering for the vacationing
Speaker 3: Joseph Strecker. I hope Joe you're out there having a
Speaker 3: good day and enjoying your time off. Let us see
Speaker 3: here I'll keep my fingers crossed at Shina success reaching him.
Speaker 3: If not, we have plenty to talk about this morning,
Speaker 3: and of course I welcome phone calls coming up on
Speaker 3: the fifty five KRC Morning Show. Moving forward to the
Speaker 3: bottom of the hour, were talking about Santa Khan. I'll
Speaker 3: have Mfi and Mike Kyler and in studio talk about
Speaker 3: that very important event because it benefits care starts now
Speaker 3: opportunity to have some fun games and raise money for
Speaker 3: careing cancer. Excellent, Bill O'Reilly. Fast forward one hour from now,
Speaker 3: Bill O'Reilly returns to the program. We're going to talk
Speaker 3: not only about his book. That's kind of a secondary
Speaker 3: conversation confronting the president's number one bestseller. Awesome Christmas gift
Speaker 3: it is. You can get a copy of that book,
Speaker 3: and I recommend you do. But his Killing series are
Speaker 3: just amazing. I think I've read every single one of
Speaker 3: them and they are just a fascinating read. So just
Speaker 3: make sure that you allocate some time when you open
Speaker 3: one of those books, because you're going to be sitting
Speaker 3: down and not capable of putting it down because there
Speaker 3: are such an interesting and just brilliant, insightful read. So
Speaker 3: Bill O'Reilly beffore or that we'll be talking about his
Speaker 3: thoughts on the election and the next four years as
Speaker 3: we move forward. So seven of seven right now, five one, three, seven, four,
Speaker 3: nine fifty eight hundred eight two three talk pound five
Speaker 3: fifty on at and t phones lesus. Of course, Congressman
Speaker 3: Davidson calls in which I hope he does. Let us
Speaker 3: see here going back some of the question I was
Speaker 3: going to ask him, well, where does Congressman Warren Davidson
Speaker 3: eve when he goes out the in Washington, d C?
Speaker 3: Turning back to this article about DC food workers are
Speaker 3: vowing to well interfere with the meals served to the
Speaker 3: Trump administration. And it's a scary thought, and I do
Speaker 3: believe it is quite supportive of the idea of getting
Speaker 3: a lot of people out of Washington, d C. Do
Speaker 3: you have to be in Washington, d C? In order
Speaker 3: to run the federal government? Of course, as we just
Speaker 3: you know, come off the heels of tech Friday with Dave,
Speaker 3: how do we all know how interconnected we are? We've
Speaker 3: got zoom conference calls.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: Think of the global warming folks, the folks who believe
Speaker 3: that you and I are killing the planet just through
Speaker 3: our day to day activities.
Speaker 1: What do they do?
Speaker 3: They fly to Davos in their private jets, you know,
Speaker 3: belching out more fuel and more carbon and more particulates
Speaker 3: into the air that you and I would generate in
Speaker 3: a lifetime. Can't they do that by zoom call? Isn't
Speaker 3: it possible? Of course it is. And if you think
Speaker 3: DC is the right place for all these people to be, well,
Speaker 3: they don't need to be together, No they don't.
Speaker 1: They're not even showing up to work anymore.
Speaker 3: The office buildings are empty since COVID showed up. Everybody's
Speaker 3: been working from home. So literally they are not in
Speaker 3: you know, the presence of each other's company. They could
Speaker 3: literally be anywhere on the planet and performing their job
Speaker 3: or as you might conclude as I do, not performing
Speaker 3: their job, or really not doing anything, just simply drawing
Speaker 3: a paycheck. But you know, Jody Ernest has got this
Speaker 3: bill out there which only relates to one department. But
Speaker 3: you know, this is a concept that could literally grow.
Speaker 3: The Swamp Act strategic would draw of agencies from meaningful placement.
Speaker 3: And Ernest said, you know, the best idea come from States,
Speaker 3: not Washington. The SBA has lost sight of its goal,
Speaker 3: and there is no better way for it to rediscover
Speaker 3: it than to get closer to Main Street and better
Speaker 3: understand people.
Speaker 1: It serves.
Speaker 3: Yes, she's referring specifically to these small business administration, and
Speaker 3: this legislation would move only thirty percent of it out
Speaker 3: of Washington, d C. Into the rest of the country.
Speaker 3: And I suppose, yes, there was a time when everybody
Speaker 3: had to be in Washington, d C. But those days
Speaker 3: are long, long, long over. There's an amazing talent pool
Speaker 3: that can be drawn from out in the rest of
Speaker 3: the United States of America that would love to be
Speaker 3: able to part of the federal government and love to
Speaker 3: be able to do good work on behalf of the
Speaker 3: American people and also provide a different perspective than you're
Speaker 3: going to get from Washington, d C. Can you imagine
Speaker 3: growing up in Washington, d C. Victim of the public
Speaker 3: school system, of the brainwashingt that goes on in they're
Speaker 3: victim of some sort of college education, because literally, I
Speaker 3: think with the exception of like two or three universities
Speaker 3: out there, Hillsdale College among them, you're gonna be surrounded
Speaker 3: by a bunch of wolf professors viewing the same leftist
Speaker 3: marx societyology at you. So you wake up and you
Speaker 3: grow up in this environment and then you apply for
Speaker 3: a job. But it's far more concentrated in DC, and
Speaker 3: so far as the political perspectors are concerned.
Speaker 1: I mean it is.
Speaker 3: If you look at it, there's like four Republicans. They
Speaker 3: probably have them on a list, and they probably puzzle
Speaker 3: over how those four Republicans even are still in Washington, DC.
Speaker 3: The rest of them, of course, you know, they come
Speaker 3: home on spring break or Christmas break, as the case
Speaker 3: may be. There are elected officials. They come from normal
Speaker 3: areas of the country and they go to d C
Speaker 3: and that's where they do their work. So I like
Speaker 3: the idea, but it really is illustrated more fully when
Speaker 3: you look at this article about the food service employees
Speaker 3: who are a part of that leftist mentality that are
Speaker 3: literally saying they are going to tamper with or otherwise
Speaker 3: disrupt Republicans. And I just use Republicans, but the Trump
Speaker 3: administration is what they're referring to. Basically, now that the
Speaker 3: new sheriffs in town, of course, surrounding himself with other
Speaker 3: more conservative, non leftist Marxist ideologues, that's not what these
Speaker 3: people believe in. I don't even think they have an
Speaker 3: understanding of why they believe in their left wing ideology
Speaker 3: when it's not good for anyone, literally anyone, but that
Speaker 3: you would molest someone's food or otherwise, you know, delay
Speaker 3: their service or their drinks or whatever. How do you
Speaker 3: think it feels to be when you are the minority.
Speaker 1: In DC.
Speaker 3: I go back to again in my comment about diversity,
Speaker 3: equity and inclusion. They don't seem to have any interest
Speaker 3: in DEI when it comes to political thought, now do that?
Speaker 3: They don't want any diversity of political thought. They want
Speaker 3: one ideology, and that is a left wing ideology. It
Speaker 3: is a hateful and evil ideology that lives, thrives and
Speaker 3: survives on covetousness and greed. And if I could eradicate
Speaker 3: with the wave of my hands, like God is saying, Okay,
Speaker 3: we're going to end as some sins here, We're going
Speaker 3: to eradicate something from the mindset of the people. In
Speaker 3: your mind, what would you choose? And I would immediately
Speaker 3: go with maybe covetousness or greed because it fuels so
Speaker 3: much resentment and anger. Covetousness and greed is behind mark
Speaker 3: this whole idea that you're not allowed to have more
Speaker 3: than someone else, and that someone who has more than
Speaker 3: you is is therefore evil in some way. Do you
Speaker 3: know what they did to maybe earn or accomplish whatever
Speaker 3: task or whatever thing that you were covetous or greedy about.
Speaker 3: What did they do to accomplish that? Yes, there are
Speaker 3: some people where it landed in their lap. And see
Speaker 3: there you go. That's part of the fuel for the
Speaker 3: fire for the leftist mentality. Oh my god, inheritance, we
Speaker 3: can't have that. We need to have confiscatory taxes when
Speaker 3: it comes to, you know, inheritance. Why I'm not living
Speaker 3: my life and putting away my retirement to give to
Speaker 3: my children. If it turns out that way, that God's
Speaker 3: mighty hand takes me off off the map before I
Speaker 3: end up spending my retirement money, then that's the way
Speaker 3: it's going to be. And bully for them. Why should
Speaker 3: anyone else reach their hand into my estate eight pocket
Speaker 3: and take it? Why that is that fair? And moving
Speaker 3: beyond that, and how are you planning on allocating the
Speaker 3: money you stole from me after I died? Is your
Speaker 3: allocation of it going back to my conversation yesterday with
Speaker 3: Senator Ran Paul, which will be, you know, shooting out
Speaker 3: his Festivust list every year, the ways in which the
Speaker 3: government wastes your money. And this is an inheritance, folks,
Speaker 3: this is your literally, your earnings, your labor. The government
Speaker 3: taking money from your labor. You are working today, said
Speaker 3: some chucklehead. And boy, I'm being delicate when I use
Speaker 3: that word in Washington, DC. You can allocate that money
Speaker 3: that you earn to fund research on shrimp running on treadmills?
Speaker 1: Is that fair?
Speaker 3: Is that fulfilled the marx SoC ideology of from each
Speaker 3: according to his ability, to each according to his need.
Speaker 3: Are we considering during the treadmill trotting shrimp as something
Speaker 3: in need and worthy of the allocation of that money?
Speaker 1: Are there not.
Speaker 3: Starving children someplace else that maybe you should put higher
Speaker 3: on the priority list, most notably this time of year
Speaker 3: when we're thinking about things like that. Now we're going
Speaker 3: to give it to some researcher that's making probably several
Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars a year so they can stare at
Speaker 3: shrimp running on treadmills. That's why I'm excited about this
Speaker 3: doge thing. I wish Congressman Davidson was on the phone
Speaker 3: to talk about. It was one of the topics we
Speaker 3: were going to go over, because you and I should
Speaker 3: not be funding that. If Elon Musk makes money and
Speaker 3: builds multi billion dollar empires and wants to allocate some
Speaker 3: of his money to shrimp running on treadmills for whatever reason,
Speaker 3: maybe it makes a tesla work better down the road,
Speaker 3: he can provide you with some sort of thoughtful analysis
Speaker 3: of why the research is valuable, then let him. But
Speaker 3: who's really benefiting from that research? Going back to doctor
Speaker 3: fauciin what's been revealed about the COVID nineteen and the
Speaker 3: report that came out about that, Why are we funding
Speaker 3: this dangerous research? Why are your tax payer dollars being
Speaker 3: used to modify that DNA so that it more easily
Speaker 3: infects human beings?
Speaker 1: Oh what we need to know?
Speaker 3: Just in case, No, I don't think so nobody is
Speaker 3: doing this thoughtful analysis. And then add on to all
Speaker 3: of that the fact that all of this money flowing
Speaker 3: from your paycheck to the federal government is still not
Speaker 3: sufficient to fully fund the federal government, so much so
Speaker 3: that we have to borrow money every year, like charging
Speaker 3: it on a tack on a credit card and pay
Speaker 3: interest on it every year, because Lord knows the world
Speaker 3: can't revolve unless we have more shrimp running on treadmill.
Speaker 3: Research Don seven seventeen, fifty five KERCD talk station, Feel
Speaker 3: free to call. We got some time to kill for
Speaker 3: the bottom of the hour when we need some charity work.
Speaker 3: Santa Con. They are at fifty five KRCD talk station.
Speaker 3: Ron Times wishing everyone a very happy Friday. I hope
Speaker 3: you have some great plans going on this weekend.
Speaker 1: And thanking all day long.
Speaker 3: Sean McMahon for covering for the vacationing Joe's trekker. I
Speaker 3: appreciate what Shawn's doing working. Gee, he's like been on
Speaker 3: a treadmill working like nine jobs, which seems to be
Speaker 3: the order of business around here. They ran into him
Speaker 3: down the hall, like, how's it going. I've been just
Speaker 3: really up to my eyeballs. I worked all night and
Speaker 3: I got here. I worked for you your show yesterday,
Speaker 3: and then I worked all night again. Like wow, sounds
Speaker 3: like Joe Strecker. The idea of a living wage popped
Speaker 3: into my mind. There You're welcome, Sean. See I can
Speaker 3: take the heat for saying something like that out loud,
Speaker 3: because I'm so close to a retirement.
Speaker 1: I must taste it. Bite the hand that feeds you.
Speaker 1: I know you love it.
Speaker 3: You're welcome, Eddiehow before we get to Santa Coon, we're
Speaker 3: gonna be doing some wonderful charity work coming up. My
Speaker 3: favorite charity, The Cure, starts now and I've been blessed
Speaker 3: to be a part of trying to find a cure
Speaker 3: for pediatric brain cancer, but also the home run cure
Speaker 3: Keith and Brookedster. It's just wonderful, wonderful people they are,
Speaker 3: and they suffered it, just an extraordinary tragedy that no
Speaker 3: parents should ever have to suffer, which is the loss
Speaker 3: of their daughter as a consequence of pediatric brain cancer.
Speaker 3: And of course we're going back quite a few years,
Speaker 3: but they have done amazing things what I always like
Speaker 3: to call turning lemons into lemonade. Yes, you could sit
Speaker 3: at home and waiale and lament, or you can try
Speaker 3: to maybe do something about it. And boy didn't they
Speaker 3: choose that latter path And they have done wonderful work.
Speaker 3: So I'm looking forward to talking with the folks about
Speaker 3: Santa kon Emma and Mike are in studio to talk
Speaker 3: about that. That'll be the next segment. But I've been
Speaker 3: remissing my obligations to mention James Free Jewelers. I got
Speaker 3: my Christmas gift already and I went out and got
Speaker 3: it myself, my version of the Red Rider bb gum
Speaker 3: with the compass in the stock. But I haven't got
Speaker 3: my wife yet a gift. But I have over the
Speaker 3: years been a real big fan of James Free Jewelers.
Speaker 3: Look at it ninety five fifty five Main Street, Montgomery.
Speaker 3: So she is the recipient of some really nice things,
Speaker 3: and that is exactly what they have, so experience the
Speaker 3: luxury of feeling at home. I shopped the finest natural diamonds,
Speaker 3: Swiss time pieces and the rarest creations. Go to James
Speaker 3: Free dot com and check it all out, or do
Speaker 3: what I do. Head right on into the store at
Speaker 3: ninety five fifty five Main Street. They're great people there
Speaker 3: and you get a real eyeful of some gorgeous, gorgeous
Speaker 3: jewelry diamonds. Of course, huge fan of the Swiss time pieces.
Speaker 3: My wife and I both are well wearing on our
Speaker 3: wrists time pieces from James Free Jewelers.
Speaker 1: So tell them.
Speaker 3: Brian said, how when you stop on in again, James
Speaker 3: free dot com, stick around. Folks have got a lot
Speaker 3: to talk about with the Cure starting to know. That'll
Speaker 3: be seven point thirty one here forty five krc DE Talkxation.
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas wishing everyone a very happy Friday, and I'm
Speaker 3: so pleased to have in studio Mfifer and Mike Howaran
Speaker 3: from the Cure Starts Now. We're working with the Cure
Speaker 3: Starts now to talk about a fantastic, wonderful and awesome
Speaker 3: opportunity that everyone can participate in Santa Con. It's Cincinnati
Speaker 3: Santacon twenty twenty four. Tomorrow, it's all over. We're gonna
Speaker 3: get details from both of them today. But God bless
Speaker 3: everyone involved because it's all gonna be well. It's gonna
Speaker 3: benefit the care starts now, Santacon care Starts Now. Welcome
Speaker 3: to the studio, both of you. It's pleasure to have
Speaker 3: you in here. How do you link people getting and
Speaker 3: I'm joking and I just roll with me because it's Friday,
Speaker 3: and you know, I'm in a mood. But I think
Speaker 3: it's Santa Con. I think of people getting dressed up
Speaker 3: as Santa Claus and then going out and getting liquored
Speaker 3: up and having a great time. Yep, so I pretty
Speaker 3: much had that boiled down so much.
Speaker 8: You don't have to hit the nail on the head.
Speaker 3: Okay, So how do you get that event which is
Speaker 3: just sort of random and everywhere, to turn into a
Speaker 3: money making event for this wonderful charity, which is the
Speaker 3: cure starts now? Who's a goal ultimately originally was to
Speaker 3: find a cure for pediatric brain cancer because no one
Speaker 3: was doing any research on it, and ultimately moving over
Speaker 3: to this whole idea of a home run cure. We
Speaker 3: can talk a little bit about that more later. But
Speaker 3: how do you turn drunken Santa's into a money making
Speaker 3: event for this wonderful charity?
Speaker 9: Well, so thanks for being having this problem you have.
Speaker 9: Two thousand and seven, we started the concept of Santacon
Speaker 9: for Cincinnati. There's about one hundred sentacons across the country
Speaker 9: right now. Yeah, and we started ours in two thousand
Speaker 9: and seven. We had twenty seven census when we first started,
Speaker 9: and then we kept saying.
Speaker 1: Hey, can't fill a bus with only twenty seven.
Speaker 9: We wrapped ourselves around the Fountain Squares, Christmas Tree and
Speaker 9: started there and then marched from bar to bar and
Speaker 9: all that singing Carol's, all that stuff, just having fun,
Speaker 9: really celebrating the holiday. We got to eighty five the
Speaker 9: next year, two hundred and fifty the year after. Flash forward.
Speaker 9: The last three years, we've had ten thousand Saants to
Speaker 9: show up each Saturday.
Speaker 3: That is I mean, just you know, conceptually, and there's
Speaker 3: so much weird crap. I feel like the world's falling apart,
Speaker 3: you know, gloom and doom the news. It's my job
Speaker 3: to talk about this stuff.
Speaker 7: Ever.
Speaker 3: You can see all these papers I have stacked around me.
Speaker 3: None of it is good news. But this time of
Speaker 3: year usually every when he kind of light their lightens
Speaker 3: themselves up a little bit. But what a true inspiration
Speaker 3: to get people to start sort of.
Speaker 1: Smile and have a good time. It is ten thousand
Speaker 1: Santa Clauses. It's a great time.
Speaker 9: And by the way, these are Santas from twenty two
Speaker 9: years old all the way up to seventy five, eighty
Speaker 9: years old. Everybody comes out to celebrate. This is a
Speaker 9: fun activity. We get lots of people always asking when's
Speaker 9: the next Santacon. They send in their pictures. They love
Speaker 9: being participating in this thing, and we just fill the
Speaker 9: streets and this is Covington, Newport Downtown, OTR seventy five
Speaker 9: different venues.
Speaker 1: We'll be out on Saturday, Wow, and.
Speaker 3: We'll get some of the details because we'll take a
Speaker 3: break and bring it back and so you know, and
Speaker 3: I'll ask Sean if he doesn't mind. It's Cincinnati Santa
Speaker 3: Con dot com, Cincinnati s a ntac O and cincinnatisantacon
Speaker 3: dot com is the website. Tickets on sale ten bucks ahead,
Speaker 3: and I guess that's how the money gets generated. And
Speaker 3: I'll encourage my listeners. You know what, even if you
Speaker 3: can't participate in the event, go ahead and buy ticket anyway.
Speaker 3: It's going to go to help cure cancer. Well, right
Speaker 3: back at seven thirty five fifty five KRCD Talk Stations
Speaker 3: seven thirty nine to fifty five KRCD Talk station, we
Speaker 3: will find a cure four cancer because there are people
Speaker 3: out in the world, like the cure starts now started
Speaker 3: by Keith and Brooke Destrich in honor of their daughter,
Speaker 3: and they've been at this now how many years. Yeah,
Speaker 3: MN Micro Institute. We're specifically talking about Santacon, but it
Speaker 3: is an official fundraiser for the Cure Starts Now. And
Speaker 3: as I mentioned in the last segment, even if you
Speaker 3: can't participate tomorrow we'll get all the details about when
Speaker 3: it starts, where you need to be in that kind
Speaker 3: of thing a moment here, But even if you can't participate,
Speaker 3: that ten dollars ticket, one hundred percent goes to the
Speaker 3: Cure Starts Now. So, unlike certain charitable organizations out there
Speaker 3: which take off a sizeable chunk for overhead and massive salaries,
Speaker 3: if you give a buck to the Cure Starts Now,
Speaker 3: or in this case, ten dollars for a ticket to
Speaker 3: the Santa Con event, that ten dollars is going to
Speaker 3: go help cure cancer. So back to Emma and Mike
Speaker 3: and we'll get the details on this thing. Mike, you
Speaker 3: were mentioning, and I promised them as she was going
Speaker 3: to talk, or at least I told them, as she's
Speaker 3: going to have to talk. But maybe Emma can answer
Speaker 3: the question. You're the one to provide me the information.
Speaker 3: But you've been at this since since what year was
Speaker 3: it when it started?
Speaker 1: Two thousand and seven.
Speaker 3: And over those years, just this one event from the
Speaker 3: paltry twenty seven sent as you had to start with
Speaker 3: to the ten thousand plus you had last year and
Speaker 3: I have this year. How much money have you been
Speaker 3: able to raise for the Cure.
Speaker 8: Since the start of it?
Speaker 9: Got three hundred thousand dollars and last year.
Speaker 1: Last year we right into the mic fifty five dollars.
Speaker 3: One event raised fifty five grand. Yes, all right, well
Speaker 3: this year, what are we going to what's the goal?
Speaker 3: What's the challenge we're going to issue?
Speaker 1: Right now?
Speaker 9: I'd love to get over sixty that'd be great, sixty
Speaker 9: five would be like.
Speaker 1: That's no, that's a home run for this year.
Speaker 3: Sixty five thousand dollars. My listeners will help you achieve
Speaker 3: that goal, at least I'm praying that they do.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I've been involved with the Cure Starts now since before
Speaker 3: I had cancer, and I always thought that was kind
Speaker 3: of a strange thing. I do not know how I
Speaker 3: ended up like being adopted by Keith and Brooke or
Speaker 3: adopting them, but it's indeed my one of my favorite
Speaker 3: charities out there, because I know that everything that they
Speaker 3: do is doing so much good. They have demonstrable results.
Speaker 3: I mean, they funded cancer studies that never would have
Speaker 3: been funded. Cancer studies that have had proven positive outcomes
Speaker 3: and increased longevity for these young people who struggle because,
Speaker 3: let's face it, pediatric brain cancer what five months six
Speaker 3: months was and that the the was a death sentence.
Speaker 8: Whenever Elena was diagnosed, they were told to go home
Speaker 8: and make memories. And since starting the foundation, we have
Speaker 8: a little girl now who has been battling the same
Speaker 8: exact type of cancer as Elena.
Speaker 1: For six years. That is amazing.
Speaker 8: So because of the research that we're able to fund,
Speaker 8: because of events like Santa Con, when really all you
Speaker 8: guys are doing is going out and have fun. I know,
Speaker 8: you're just going downtown. You get to go to all
Speaker 8: these awesome venues that are participating and helping us for
Speaker 8: this cause. So just go have fun, and just by
Speaker 8: doing that and having a couple drinks with your friends,
Speaker 8: you're helping little girls just like this one that has
Speaker 8: been battling for six years.
Speaker 1: Now it's six years. It's crazy, it is.
Speaker 3: And you know, I talked to the cancer folks because
Speaker 3: of course I have cancer diagnosis, so I have to
Speaker 3: deal with cancer doctors. But I hear about these amazing
Speaker 3: developments and cancer research, and I am so positive and
Speaker 3: I've said it a bunch of times on the Morning
Speaker 3: Show that I just feel like I know in my
Speaker 3: lifetime that there will be a cure, absolutely, but there
Speaker 3: will be one of these home run cares. And again
Speaker 3: that's what the cure starts now is really pushing forward.
Speaker 3: They got doctors from around the world sharing research. What
Speaker 3: an amazing concept that, because you know, it's like little fiefdom.
Speaker 3: Nobody wants to share their research, but if you share it,
Speaker 3: you might come across some overlapping areas like wait a minute,
Speaker 3: we found that this really kind of works over here,
Speaker 3: and some other group of doctors and in Australia are saying,
Speaker 3: oh wow, well we were doing something different we found
Speaker 3: and you put them two together collaboratively and next thing
Speaker 3: you know, you've got a huge jump towards the curve.
Speaker 3: Now you mentioned the different venues. So the ten dollars
Speaker 3: ticket qualifies you to Donna Santa suit. I guess you
Speaker 3: really don't have to own a Santa suit. If you
Speaker 3: just have a hat, can you wear just that?
Speaker 1: Hats are fine.
Speaker 9: We have also else's presence, snowmen dressed up anything you
Speaker 9: want related to the holidays.
Speaker 3: Can you dress up as a Festivus poll. Sure you
Speaker 3: can all right, Ellen else or even welcome. Senator Ran
Speaker 3: Balls on the show yesterday. He does his Festivus Report
Speaker 3: every year, which is the government waste report. So I
Speaker 3: got a kick out of that. So any way you
Speaker 3: want to dress, you're eligible to participate, and it is
Speaker 3: an opportunity to have a legitimate excuse to party your
Speaker 3: keyster off. Just make sure you arrange for transportation. I
Speaker 3: don't want see anybody out on the road having party.
Speaker 3: You mentioned the venues too, because there are a multitude
Speaker 3: of places that are participating.
Speaker 9: Yeah, So we kick off officially at ten thirty am
Speaker 9: at the casino, the hard Rock Casino, and then we
Speaker 9: satellite out into seven different districts. We'll be in Mount Adams,
Speaker 9: over the Rhine, Downtown District, the Banks, Newport, and Covington,
Speaker 9: and we'll have seventy five venues participating, ten thousand santas
Speaker 9: and literally you know, get downtown by ten thirty to
Speaker 9: noon and you'll just follow the crowds around. We'll be
Speaker 9: there all day throughout the day. Stop in a bar,
Speaker 9: watch the Crosstown shootout. If you want there, you go,
Speaker 9: you know, pack the banks, I mean the Banks will
Speaker 9: literally be packed. I mean it'll be as crowded as
Speaker 9: a football game weekend.
Speaker 3: That is absolutely great. Now, I was joking with Emma
Speaker 3: earlier on the break about I say, well, the event
Speaker 3: officially starts what you said ten thirty. Let me guess
Speaker 3: people start early and get earlier and earlier every year.
Speaker 2: Oh, way, way early.
Speaker 8: I was talking to my friends about maybe I'll meet
Speaker 8: you guys out after after I'm finishing help out with
Speaker 8: Santa's checking and everything. But from the sounds of it,
Speaker 8: I think they'll be on their way to bed by
Speaker 8: the time I'm finished checking Santa's in exactly.
Speaker 1: That's wonderful.
Speaker 3: So just a just a great time putting a smile
Speaker 3: my face is thinking about it, Cincinnatisanta con dot com.
Speaker 3: As we get all the information. Now, are the venues
Speaker 3: this multitude of venue seventy seventy five? Are they also
Speaker 3: in some way benefiting charitably or providing some charitable effort
Speaker 3: on behalf of the cure?
Speaker 9: Yes, a right, I mean the venues are very generous.
Speaker 9: So half of our money comes from the venues, half
Speaker 9: come from the participating santas. That's how we get to
Speaker 9: our goals, and the venues have been really behind us
Speaker 9: in a big way and use their interest in participating
Speaker 9: and haven't heard about this reach out to us too.
Speaker 9: We may not be able to get you this year,
Speaker 9: but for sure in the future, love to have you
Speaker 9: part of the crowd. Our goal someday might be able
Speaker 9: to get to about one hundred hundred and twenty five
Speaker 9: venues across even a greater area.
Speaker 3: Geez, I mean if you think I mean a greater area.
Speaker 3: I was just thinking of the number of micro breweries
Speaker 3: that have popped up over the past decade or so.
Speaker 3: What do they got, like sixty or something within the
Speaker 3: Tri State or two seventy five Beltway. If you get
Speaker 3: every single one of those participating, you jump your numbers
Speaker 3: large just by that. Plus they get to share their wares.
Speaker 3: So is it that a portion of the drink proceeds
Speaker 3: are going to go to the cure starts?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 3: How does that work? Because I want to encourage people
Speaker 3: like you can feel less guilty having another beverage. If
Speaker 3: I can make that argument because portions of the proceeds
Speaker 3: are going to go to the cure.
Speaker 9: Yeah, each venue just makes a participation fee donation to
Speaker 9: the cure starts now and we charged ten dollars for
Speaker 9: Santus for the wristbands that they get to kind of gound,
Speaker 9: and then collectively that'll generate fifty five thousand last year,
Speaker 9: hopefully sixty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: This year you hit mark sixty five grand. You heard
Speaker 3: it from Mike and Emma. We got to do that
Speaker 3: and I'll be happy to help participate myself. So again
Speaker 3: online you'll find at fifty five carc dot com. But
Speaker 3: if you want to go there directly Cincinnatisantacon dot com.
Speaker 1: That's tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Get ready to party your butt off with all the
Speaker 3: Santa Clauses. Get in the holiday spirit. You're curing cancer
Speaker 3: while having an awesome time, thus taking any measurable guilt
Speaker 3: that you might have away from you. Emma, Mike, it
Speaker 3: has been a distinct pleasure to have you in my studio,
Speaker 3: and from the bottom of my heart, I want to
Speaker 3: thank you for all of your help over the years
Speaker 3: in support of this worthy organization. Again, I know that
Speaker 3: with your work and mine and everybody else that gets involved,
Speaker 3: we're going to cure cancer.
Speaker 8: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Brian, that's so wonderful.
Speaker 3: Merry Christmas to both of you. Enjoy the holidays and
Speaker 3: have a great time tomorrow. I think it's probably impossible
Speaker 3: not to seven forty a fifty five KRCD talk station
Speaker 3: cover Sincy. It is seven fifty three. I've care seen
Speaker 3: you talks Nation. I'm laving my friend Rebecca, God love her.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I mean, it's just in a good mood
Speaker 3: because it's Friday and I just look sill looking forward
Speaker 3: to the Christmas party I'm going to tomorrow as well. Anyway,
Speaker 3: Are you talking to Thomas Massey again this morning? The
Speaker 3: answer is, of course no. I get to talk with
Speaker 3: the bell once a month, and that happened on Wednesday.
Speaker 3: Ask about the space aliens in Washington and London. I
Speaker 3: haven't been following, but I am confident that if, in
Speaker 3: the fact there are aliens, they won't come down here
Speaker 3: because there is no intelligent life. You're right, Rebecca, there
Speaker 3: is an intelligent life. Going back to the fact that
Speaker 3: you and I worked at least some share of our
Speaker 3: labor went to fund the damn shrimp on a treadmill study,
Speaker 3: and we funded bat research to wreak the plague out
Speaker 3: of humanity. Why do we allow this to happen? Why
Speaker 3: do our elected officials allow this to happen. I can't imagine.
Speaker 3: I didn't read it. I've never read a Department of
Speaker 3: Defense budget.
Speaker 1: I saw it.
Speaker 3: I heard it was like two thousand or some pages
Speaker 3: coming in. It's just shy of a trillion dollars. That's
Speaker 3: for a calendar year, folks. I'm not saying we don't
Speaker 3: need defense, you know me. I love the American veteran
Speaker 3: and God bless them for the service to our country.
Speaker 3: I love the people who joined up to kill people
Speaker 3: and break things in the defense of threats, both domestic
Speaker 3: and foreign. And that's what the military is all about.
Speaker 3: But can you imagine in a trillion dollars slice of
Speaker 3: government what's being funded with that? Just the defense budget?
Speaker 3: And lately I've been a tear on the F thirty
Speaker 3: five and you're an F thirty five man, knock yourself out, man.
Speaker 3: But we live in the day of drones, Drones that
Speaker 3: our own government apparently can't even figure out where they
Speaker 3: come from, what they're doing, or why they're here. Go
Speaker 3: to New Jersey and check them out for yourself. But
Speaker 3: we'll spend thirty billion dollars for a blanket airplane that
Speaker 3: can be shot out of the sky fairly easily with
Speaker 3: hypersonic weapons these days, I don't know. Someone has to
Speaker 3: exercise a measure of common sense and reason, and clearly,
Speaker 3: clearly our elected officials do not, which is again why
Speaker 3: I'm hoping and praying that this DOGE Department actually accomplishes
Speaker 3: its goal to get rid of at least some segment
Speaker 3: of the fraud, waste and abuse in government. Please, Dear God,
Speaker 3: lay your hands on Viva, Gramma Swimmy and Elon Musk
Speaker 3: and the task they have in front of them. Seven
Speaker 3: fifty six fifty five KR. See the talk station the
Speaker 3: incomparable Bill Riley fingers crossed. Anyway, we didn't get to
Speaker 3: hear from Warren Davidson was supposed to be on at
Speaker 3: seven oh five, but Bill O'Reilly is lined up for
Speaker 3: right after the top of the hour news to talk
Speaker 3: about his thoughts on the election, the next four years
Speaker 3: moving forward, maybe his ideas on whether DOGE can have
Speaker 3: any success whatsoever. And we'll also talk about his latest
Speaker 3: awesome book, which is called Confronting the President's number one
Speaker 3: best seller and a great Christmas gift. Stick around. I'll
Speaker 3: be right back, Hey, O five fifty five care see
Speaker 3: the talk station. I hope you're having a very happy Friday.
Speaker 3: Appreciate Sean McMahon filling in for the vacationing Jost Tracker.
Speaker 3: And I'm sure hoping Joe Strecker is having a nice
Speaker 3: time off.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be off Monday as well.
Speaker 3: Sean will be there working full time twenty four to
Speaker 3: seven until Monday, when you will finally get a chance
Speaker 3: to exhale and go to sleep. Bill O'Reilly not on
Speaker 3: the front. I'm having a real successful day with my
Speaker 3: guest Sean. What happened to Davidson last hour? And I
Speaker 3: wonder where Bill o'rally is. I've talked to Bill so
Speaker 3: many times over the years. He's just a brilliant man,
Speaker 3: and I still in spite of the fact that he's
Speaker 3: not there, I recommend you get the book Confronting the President.
Speaker 3: No Spin assessments from Washington to Biden. So phone lines
Speaker 3: are open in the absence of Bill O'Reilly unless he
Speaker 3: calls in five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred,
Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty two to three taco with pound
Speaker 3: five fifty on AT and T phones. If you've got
Speaker 3: something you want to mention, feel free to give me
Speaker 3: a call. Well, it gives me an opportunity at least
Speaker 3: to provide you with a little insight about the murder
Speaker 3: of the United Healthcare CEO and the motivations behind the
Speaker 3: murder er who's an idiot and a bit of a
Speaker 3: Marxist from what we all gather by now and blaming
Speaker 3: somehow that it's the United Healthcare Insurance Company or medical
Speaker 3: insurance generally that are the problem. No, they are creations
Speaker 3: of so called government solutions. And without the so called
Speaker 3: government solutions that were supposed to make all of our
Speaker 3: lives better, our lives actually would be better in their
Speaker 3: absence and the Mesas Institute published this wonderful off ed
Speaker 3: piece by most someone in the know Connor o'keef. Last
Speaker 3: week he had Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson shot to death
Speaker 3: in New York City sidewalk and what was clearly a
Speaker 3: thoroughly planned out attack. Over the next few weeks as
Speaker 3: authorities hunted for the killer, online progressors did not try
Speaker 3: to hide their delight at the millionaire healthcare insurance executive
Speaker 3: like Thompson was killed. Social media flooded with posts and
Speaker 3: videos with different ranges of subtlety suggesting that Thompson, at
Speaker 3: the very least did not deserve to be mourn because
Speaker 3: of all the healthcare his company has denied the poor
Speaker 3: and working people. Progresses frame the shooting is an act
Speaker 3: of self defense on behalf of the working class. Before
Speaker 3: the alleged killer was caught Monday, they promised not to
Speaker 3: snitch if they saw this shoot themselves and fantasized about
Speaker 3: a working class jury nullifying all charges, leading to other
Speaker 3: CEOs getting gunned down with impunity if they oversaw. Price
Speaker 3: increases the narrative and these online progressive clearly subscribed to
Speaker 3: and perpetuate. Is one where in the United States healthcare
Speaker 3: is totally unfettered, unregulated industryware because of a total lack
Speaker 3: of government involvement. Wealthy ceo charge whatever prices they want
Speaker 3: and then refuse to provide customers what they already paid
Speaker 3: for without facing any bad consequences. The characterization of healthcare
Speaker 3: and health insurance companies charging absurdly high prices while treating
Speaker 3: their customers terribly without the risk of losing them is
Speaker 3: spot on, but the idea that what caused this was
Speaker 3: a lack of government involvement in the healthcare system is
Speaker 3: completely delusional, and this delusion conveniently removes all the responsibility
Speaker 3: progressives bear from the nightmare that is the US healthcare system. Today,
Speaker 3: healthcare is one of the most heavily government regulated industries
Speaker 3: in the economy, right up there with the finance and
Speaker 3: energy sectors. Government agencies are involved in all parts of
Speaker 3: the process, from the research and production of drugs, the
Speaker 3: training and licensing of medical professionals, and the building of hospitals,
Speaker 3: to the availability of health insurance, the makeup of insurance plans,
Speaker 3: and the complicated payment processes. And this is nothing new.
Speaker 3: The US government has been intervening heavily in the healthcare
Speaker 3: industry for over a century, and no group has done
Speaker 3: more to bring this about than the progressives leftists. It
Speaker 3: really began, after all, during the Progressive Arrow, when the
Speaker 3: American Medical Association maneuvered its way as setting the official
Speaker 3: accreditation standards for the nationals nation's unregulated medical schools. The
Speaker 3: AMA road standards that excluded the medical approaches of their competitors,
Speaker 3: which forced half the nation's medical schools to close. The
Speaker 3: new shortage of training doctors drove up the price of
Speaker 3: medical service to the delight of the AMA and other
Speaker 3: government recognized doctors groups, setting the familiar health care affordability
Speaker 3: crisis in motion. Around the same time, Progressives successfully pushed
Speaker 3: for the strictest restrictions on the production of drugs, and
Speaker 3: shortly afterward to grant drug producers monopoly privileges. After World
Speaker 3: War Two, as healthcare grew more expensive, the government used
Speaker 3: the tax code to warp how Americans paid for healthcare.
Speaker 3: Under President Truman, the IRS made employer provided health insurance
Speaker 3: tax deductible while continuing to tax other means of payment.
Speaker 3: It didn't take long for employer plans to become the
Speaker 3: dominant arrangement and for health insurance to morph away from
Speaker 3: actual insurance into a general third party payment system. These
Speaker 3: government interventions, restricting the supply of medical care and privileging
Speaker 3: insurance over the other payment methods, created a real affordable
Speaker 3: problem for many Americans, but the crisis didn't really start
Speaker 3: until the nineteen sixties, when Congress passed two of the
Speaker 3: progressive's favorite government programs, Medicare and Medicaid. Initially, industry groups
Speaker 3: like the AME opposed Medicare and Medicaid because they believe
Speaker 3: the government subsidies would deteriorate the quality of care. They
Speaker 3: were right about that, but what they clearly didn't anticipate
Speaker 3: was how rich the program would make them. Anyone who's
Speaker 3: taken even a single introductory economics class can tell you
Speaker 3: that the prices will rise if supply decreases or demand increases.
Speaker 3: The government was already keeping the supply of medical services
Speaker 3: artificially low, leading to artificially high prices. Medicare and Medicaid
Speaker 3: left those shortages in place and poured a ton of
Speaker 3: tax dollars into the healthcare sector, which significantly increased the demand.
Speaker 3: The result was an easily predictable explosion in the cost
Speaker 3: of health care, and fewer people could afford healthcare at
Speaker 3: these rising prices, meaning more and more people required government assistance,
Speaker 3: which meant more demand, causing prices to grow faster and faster. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: private health quote unquote insurance providers were also benefiting from
Speaker 3: the Mountain crisis, and a free market insurance serves as
Speaker 3: a means to trade risk. Insurance works well for accidents
Speaker 3: and calamities that are hard to predict individually but relatively
Speaker 3: easy to predict in bulk, like car accidents, house fires,
Speaker 3: and unexpected family deaths. Health insurance providers were already being
Speaker 3: subsidized by all the taxes on competing means of payment,
Speaker 3: which allowed their plans to grow beyond the typical bounds
Speaker 3: of insurance and began to cover easily predictable occurrences like
Speaker 3: annual physicals. And as the price of all these services
Speaker 3: continued to shoot up, the cost of these routine procedures
Speaker 3: were becoming high enough to resemble the cost of emergencies,
Speaker 3: making consumers even more reliant on insurance. With progressives cheering on,
Speaker 3: the political class used government intervention to create a healthcare
Speaker 3: system that behaves as if its sole purpose is to
Speaker 3: move as much money as possible into the pockets of
Speaker 3: health care providers, drug companies, hospitals, health related federal agencies,
Speaker 3: and of course, insurance providers. But the party could not
Speaker 3: last forever. As the price of healthcare rose, the price
Speaker 3: of health insurance rose too. Eventually, when insurance premiums grew
Speaker 3: too high, fewer employers or individual buyers were willing to
Speaker 3: buy insurance, and the flow of the money into the
Speaker 3: healthcare system started to falter. The data suggests that the
Speaker 3: tipping point was reached in the early two thousands for
Speaker 3: the first time since the cycle began back in the
Speaker 3: nineteen sixties. The number of people with health insurance began
Speaker 3: to fall each year. Health care providers, who had seemingly
Speaker 3: assumed that the flow of money would never stop increasing,
Speaker 3: began to panic.
Speaker 1: Then Barack Obama.
Speaker 3: Obama's seminal legislative accomplishment, the Affordable Care Actor, Obamacare, can
Speaker 3: best be understood as a ploy by healthcare providers and
Speaker 3: the government to keep the party going. Obamacare required all
Speaker 3: fifty million uninsured Americans to obtain insurance, and it greatly
Speaker 3: expanded what these insurance companies covered. Demand for health care
Speaker 3: shot back up, and the vicious cycles started back up again,
Speaker 3: which is why the bill enjoyed so much support from
Speaker 3: big corporations all across the healthcare industry. Before it was passed,
Speaker 3: economists were practically screaming that the Affordable Care Act would
Speaker 3: make care less affordable by raising premiums and healthcare prices,
Speaker 3: while making shortages worse. Progressive dismissed such concerns as Reagan
Speaker 3: era free market fundamentalist propaganda, but that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 3: Now the affordability crisis is worse than ever. His prices
Speaker 3: reached his levels, and because Obamacare brought American healthcare much
Speaker 3: closer to a single payer system, the demand for healthcare
Speaker 3: far exceeds the supply of healthcare, leading to deadly shortages.
Speaker 3: There are literally not enough resources or available medical professionals
Speaker 3: to treat everyone who can pay for care. Also, the
Speaker 3: tax code and also the tax code and warped insurance
Speaker 3: market protect these providers from competition, making it almost impossible
Speaker 3: for people to switch to a different provider after their
Speaker 3: claims are unfairly denied. If it were simply greed, denying
Speaker 3: customers who are already paid would be a feature in
Speaker 3: all industries, but it's not. It requires the kind of
Speaker 3: policy protections progressives helped implement. And on top of all that,
Speaker 3: despite paying all this money, Americans are quickly becoming one
Speaker 3: of the sickest populations on earth. This is one of
Speaker 3: the most pressing problems facing the country, a problem that
Speaker 3: requires immediate, radical change to solve. But it also requires
Speaker 3: an accurate and precise diagnosis, something that this week progressives
Speaker 3: demonstrated that they are incapable of making. American progressive movement
Speaker 3: is responsible for providing the political class the intellectual cover
Speaker 3: they needed to break the health care market and transform
Speaker 3: the entire system into a means to transfer wealth to
Speaker 3: people like Brian Thompson. Now they want to sit back
Speaker 3: and pretend like they've never gotten their way, that the
Speaker 3: government has never done anything with the health care market,
Speaker 3: and that these healthcare executives just popped up and started
Speaker 3: doing this all on their own. Also, they can celebrate
Speaker 3: him being gunned down the street. It's disgusting. Brian Thompson
Speaker 3: acted exactly like every economically literate person over the last
Speaker 3: fifty years has said health insurance CEOs would act it.
Speaker 3: Progressives got their way. If we're ever going to see
Speaker 3: an end of this century long nightmare, we need to
Speaker 3: start listening to the people who have gotten it right,
Speaker 3: not those who pretend they are blameless as they fantasize
Speaker 3: online about others starting a violent revolution. Amen Well written
Speaker 3: from meisis Connor o'keeth eight seventeen fifty five. K see
Speaker 3: the talk station, Feel free to give me a call,
Speaker 3: love to talk with you. Don't know what I'm gonna
Speaker 3: be talking about between now and the end of the hour,
Speaker 3: but we got some time to do so. But first
Speaker 3: to word for my friends through the bottom of the
Speaker 3: hour normal local news segment. Fingers crossed on that one
Speaker 3: because I was very anxious to get his opinion about
Speaker 3: what the next four years moving forward might look like,
Speaker 3: as well as whether he thinks Doge might get some
Speaker 3: work done. I've been on a rant lately on that one,
Speaker 3: just maybe overly optimistic, and hopefully Bill O'Reilly shares my
Speaker 3: optimism on that. But you know, I'll take better late
Speaker 3: than ever any single day of the week. So is
Speaker 3: he there? We got him, Bill O'Reilly, Bill are you there?
Speaker 3: I'm hearing dead Bill O'Reilly, are you there? I'm gonna
Speaker 3: try one more time. My apologies to the listeners for this,
Speaker 3: and I am not in any way, shape or before
Speaker 3: blaming Sean McMahon for this. We just I don't know
Speaker 3: what the mix up has been with guests this morning.
Speaker 3: As I mentioned earlier, were supposed to have Warren Davidson
Speaker 3: on earlier in the program, but a struggles here on
Speaker 3: the morning show Dead air not good with radio, is it?
Speaker 1: Apologies for that. One.
Speaker 3: Department of Justice Inspector General released report the other day
Speaker 3: about from my friends out there that are wondering about
Speaker 3: January sixth, and yes, indeed, there were confidential human sources
Speaker 3: in the mix out there working with the FBI. They
Speaker 3: claim that they were not authorized to commit or in
Speaker 3: courage criminal acts, but not authorized is different than being
Speaker 3: told and instructed not to do so, period, end of story.
Speaker 3: And where were they they were in the mix, and
Speaker 3: I appreciate the House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan's statements
Speaker 3: and astute observations. This report confirms what we suspected. The
Speaker 3: FBI had encouraged and tasked confidential human sources to be
Speaker 3: at the Capitol that day. There were twenty six total present.
Speaker 3: Four entered the Capitol and were not charged, which is
Speaker 3: not the same treatment that the other Americans received. And
Speaker 3: that's accurate. Now, they are not FBI agents, They're just
Speaker 3: simple random citizens that worked with the FBI. Er go,
Speaker 3: if they entered the Capitol building, whether the FBI knew
Speaker 3: about it or not, they should be charged. They committed
Speaker 3: the exact same quote, and I'm using the term loosely
Speaker 3: crime as the seventy two year old lady did when
Speaker 3: she walked in at the behest of law enforcement and
Speaker 3: wandered around because hey, look, I got an opportunity to
Speaker 3: walk in the Capitol Building. I'm going to take up
Speaker 3: on it. And the security component also is even more telling.
Speaker 3: It reminded me a lot of the Secret Service, and
Speaker 3: they're epic failures when it came to securing the grounds
Speaker 3: where President now soon to be Brady's President elect, Donald
Speaker 3: Trump got shot. Stick around, take quick break, you're right back.
Speaker 3: We'll either talk to O'Reilly or we'll do local news stories.
Speaker 3: Either way, we go got stuff to happen. And of
Speaker 3: course I would love hearing from you. If you have
Speaker 3: a call or a conversation you'd like to have, feel
Speaker 3: free to call five one, three, seven, four nine fifty
Speaker 3: five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three talk
Speaker 3: or go with Ton five fifty on AT and T Funds. First,
Speaker 3: those Zimmer Heating and air Conditioning. Let Zimmer take care
Speaker 3: of all your HVAC needs are great at what they do.

Speaker 3: Zimmer dot com. Eight thirty two fifty five ker CD
Speaker 3: talk station five one three seven four nine fifty five hundred,
Speaker 3: eight hundred eight two three talk for Head of the Phones.
Speaker 3: I will let everyone know, no, it is not Warren
Speaker 3: Davidson's fault. It was not Bill O'Reilly's fault. Some I
Speaker 3: will leave the words that I want to say to myself.
Speaker 3: The SEC would not approve. So someone went into Joe
Speaker 3: Strecker's studio, and of course Seawn's covering the board today.
Speaker 3: He didn't realize what happened, so in a reprogram the board,
Speaker 3: and so the phone calls were going elsewhere. I have
Speaker 3: no idea why anybody would do that. I'm sure it
Speaker 3: was not for nefarious purposes. But these studios are sort
Speaker 3: of you walk in and just sort of occupy them.
Speaker 3: It's like an empty office building where you have empty
Speaker 3: space and you occupy it while you're there, just pick
Speaker 3: an office that's free. Well, the studios are kind of
Speaker 3: like that. So someone obviously chose to occupy Joe Strecker's
Speaker 3: studio to do whatever that person was supposed to do,
Speaker 3: reprogram the phones and didn't put them back to where
Speaker 3: they were before. So apologies to Bill O'Reilly who was
Speaker 3: trying to get through, and presumably also the Congressman Warren Davidson.
Speaker 3: I don't want to fault them or Joe Strecker who
Speaker 3: lined the guests up. So with that out of my system,
Speaker 3: let's go to the phones. Andrew Pappus, it is always
Speaker 3: a distinct pleasure to have you call my program. Welcome
Speaker 3: to the Morning show.
Speaker 4: Sir, kind words Brian, and regarding the phone snap who,
Speaker 4: I think we need to review the tape and hold
Speaker 4: the persons down. So let's getting in that place is tough,
Speaker 4: So I mean, I know there's probably camera footage, so
Speaker 4: let's reviewate it's been, who did it, and then issue
Speaker 4: a severe punishment to the person responsible.
Speaker 1: How about that? I like the idea.
Speaker 3: The only problem is it's kind of funny because you
Speaker 3: mentioned the cameras and I could count like six of
Speaker 3: them in my.
Speaker 1: Studio, and the one that Sean.
Speaker 3: Who's covered for Joe, is supposed to be able to
Speaker 3: see me through, is not working.
Speaker 4: It sounds like it sounds like you need interest ID
Speaker 4: there to fix all.
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, yeah, but you know, my company would have
Speaker 3: to pay for that, and we're just gonna let that.
Speaker 3: We're just gonna let that sit right where it's right
Speaker 3: where it landed.
Speaker 4: Okay, actually, especially right before Christmas bonus time. Let's not
Speaker 4: rile the corporation.
Speaker 3: On Christmas bonus. That's a foreign concept to Sean. Do
Speaker 3: you get a Christmas bonus?
Speaker 1: He said? He wishes.
Speaker 3: Well, I've I've.
Speaker 4: Got a Christmas bonus for everybody out there today. I'm
Speaker 4: just given the reminding folks that we will be out
Speaker 4: the good people of Anderson Township, which sadly the media
Speaker 4: likes to focus on, you know, negative news aka that
Speaker 4: might happen in Anderson Township and put it all over
Speaker 4: the place and dwell on it like it's not in
Speaker 4: every community. And I'm speaking of the recent you know,
Speaker 4: burgle attempt at a certain celebrities house here.
Speaker 2: But stop.
Speaker 4: But anyway, the deal is tomorrow we will have we
Speaker 4: will be out at Hillcrest Cemetery on Sutton Drive that
Speaker 4: we have taken over maintenance and care of, and we
Speaker 4: will be placing participating in reefs across America at twelve
Speaker 4: o'clock tomorrow, placing approximately twelve hundred wreaths on the graves
Speaker 4: of veterans at this cemetery that has been abandoned but
Speaker 4: then retaken over. You know, when cemeteries get abandoned, it's
Speaker 4: very sad. They a sad deal, and it happens sadly
Speaker 4: too much. But we have the Hillcrest Foundation has taken
Speaker 4: over maintenance of that, Anderson Township has now been tasked
Speaker 4: by the state with maintaining it. They we've been doing
Speaker 4: a fantastic job. The volunteers have been doing a fantastic job.
Speaker 4: And if people want to just come out tomorrow and
Speaker 4: or stop by, you know, just to lay a wreath,
Speaker 4: have a moment of silence. It's not you know, it's
Speaker 4: not a far drive for most of especially the East
Speaker 4: side of Cincinnati. It won't take very long. And we're
Speaker 4: going to have a nice little program and then we'll
Speaker 4: be distributing the reefs for volunteers to place on veterans' graves.
Speaker 4: And it's a nice event. It's a good way to
Speaker 4: just feel good, you know, and do a little good
Speaker 4: and pay back and think, you know, just show some
Speaker 4: respect for those that allow you the freedoms to celebrate
Speaker 4: this holiday season.
Speaker 3: Well, it's wonderful. That's the photograph you sent me on Facebook. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: is that taken last year?
Speaker 4: I believe it was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it looks you were talking about how
Speaker 3: you know it was in a state of disarray. Clearly
Speaker 3: it is not in the photograph. And what a beautiful
Speaker 3: thing with all those Christmas frees on each of the graves.
Speaker 3: You said that was primarily an African American veterans cemetery.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was owned by I don't remember. I think
Speaker 4: it's Union Baptiste of It was owned by a primarily
Speaker 4: African American church back in the through the late sixties
Speaker 4: early seventies and then the church closed up and the
Speaker 4: cemetery fell in disrepair.
Speaker 1: But that's what the history out there.
Speaker 4: The history, the history out there is actually amazing if
Speaker 4: you walk around now, let me tell you due to
Speaker 4: the efforts of Russ Jackson, my prior fellow trustee here
Speaker 4: and Anderson longtime trustee in Anderson Township and the vision
Speaker 4: that they had, they formed a board, took it over,
Speaker 4: secured the area, made sure that any graves that you
Speaker 4: know sank or got opened up, fell in collapse, got
Speaker 4: filled in. But I got to tell you when we
Speaker 4: first when it was first taken over, it was in sad,
Speaker 4: sad shape, and now it is in definitely presentable shape,
Speaker 4: and we're trying to do the best we can. It's
Speaker 4: a volunteer organization. You get no assistance from the state.
Speaker 4: A lot of corporations do help. Ge Aerospace helps a lot,
Speaker 4: Duke Energy to just name a few.
Speaker 1: Png they help out.
Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, it's a largely
Speaker 4: volunteer effort, and you know there's a lot of there's
Speaker 4: you know, the news cycle loves to promote bad news,
Speaker 4: and you know bad news cells, right, I guess sadly
Speaker 4: we don't get the coverage when good people just do
Speaker 4: good things like this, And I'm just trying to share
Speaker 4: the word. And if anyone has the wherewithal parking is
Speaker 4: fairly limited, but you know, if you can carpool and
Speaker 4: come on buy and just observe or help help with
Speaker 4: the situation. You know, many hands make for light work,
Speaker 4: so we appreciate any hands we can get.
Speaker 1: And again that's tomorrow. It's between noon and two.
Speaker 4: We start at noon and then we have a little
Speaker 4: service where we say a few words, say the pleasure
Speaker 4: of allegiance at the flagpole, and then direct people as
Speaker 4: to how to you know, where to place the wreaths,
Speaker 4: and then we give out the reefs and people just
Speaker 4: you know, at your own leisure speed, you go out
Speaker 4: and put the reefs on the graves and you see
Speaker 4: the dates on there. We have some Buffalo soldiers out there,
Speaker 4: we have some Spanish American war veterans out there. The
Speaker 4: history out there is amazing, so you know, please feel
Speaker 4: free twelve to noon, I mean noon to two tomorrow
Speaker 4: on Sutton Avenue Hillcrest Cemetery. Feel free to stop by.
Speaker 3: Sure, Papas, thank you very much for for bringing that
Speaker 3: to my attention and my listeners attention. It's an outstanding
Speaker 3: thing that you're doing and the community is doing to
Speaker 3: preserve that history and great opportunity to I mean, I
Speaker 3: can't believe those graves are that old. That is that's
Speaker 3: something to behold when you get to see it. So
Speaker 3: I'll encourage my listeners to head on out and do that.
Speaker 3: Drew Pappas, have a wonderful weekend, and thanks again for
Speaker 3: the service to the community you're doing out there. God
Speaker 3: bless and you. Hey thirty nine fifty five KSC Talk
Speaker 3: Station Jay, if you don't mind hanging on, you're going
Speaker 3: to be first out of the gates. Got a comment
Speaker 3: about HB seventy nine, which we talked about just the
Speaker 3: other day. I will be right back after these brief words.
Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC.
Speaker 3: Hey forty two, coming up to eight forty f three,
Speaker 3: fifty five KRC Decox Nation.
Speaker 1: I'm very happy Friday too. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Breen inquired as to whether yesterday's book offer on that
Speaker 3: Maui fire was subject to the phone problems we were
Speaker 3: having today.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: Actually, her son had what I believe was described as
Speaker 3: a medical issue. He is okay, that's great and I
Speaker 3: think we have her scheduled for Mondays, so fingers crossed
Speaker 3: will be hearing about that on Monday. But beyond that,
Speaker 3: today's issues were obviously phone related, And speaking of phones,
Speaker 3: let's go to the phones and see what Jay's got. Jay,
Speaker 3: thanks for holding over the break there. Welcome to the
Speaker 3: Morning Show.
Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, Brian.
Speaker 1: Hey.
Speaker 7: I wanted to follow up with you and any listeners
Speaker 7: that yesterday we're talking about House Bill seventy nine, which
Speaker 7: just real quick context is the it's going through the House,
Speaker 7: it's going through the Senate right now. Yeah, and it
Speaker 7: is a bill that says that we are going to
Speaker 7: be forced into a energy savings program. Yeah, unless we
Speaker 7: decide to opt out. So you're automatically in, unless you
Speaker 7: take the action to opt out, which seems like the
Speaker 7: opposite way that we ought to be able to do.
Speaker 3: Oh no, but unless you're a major corporation in Ohio,
Speaker 3: in which case you must affirmatively choose to join the
Speaker 3: program because you're not automatically in it. Go ahead and
Speaker 3: ask yourself why that might be.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no kidding. The other thing that's interesting is we
Speaker 7: the voters gave the Republicans, we gave the Republicans a
Speaker 7: supermajority in Columbus. This is resurrecting a bad Democrat idea
Speaker 7: from years gone by. So it's a bad idea. Yeah,
Speaker 7: and you had suggested that we all reach out to
Speaker 7: our elected representatives. Did some research and found out that
Speaker 7: Steve Wilson, who is my Ohio senator, sits on at
Speaker 7: Energy Commission. For those of you who have Steve Wilson
Speaker 7: as your Ohio senator, he's not a bad guy.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 7: I sent him a contact in him and told him
Speaker 7: that I am not in favor of this. But I
Speaker 7: also want to follow up to something that Thomas Massey said.
Speaker 7: Thomas Massey said that he on a normal day only
Speaker 7: gets about one email a day, and he was making
Speaker 7: no comment that there was something going on in DC
Speaker 7: where he got two hundred emails one day.
Speaker 3: Was actually it was just it was actually phone calls,
Speaker 3: but the same kind of concept.
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, well, well let's just assume phone calls emails
Speaker 7: are about the same. Let's suppose they get single digits
Speaker 7: the day with your listeners. So if so, if I
Speaker 7: reach out to Steve Wilson, if nine other people reach
Speaker 7: out to Steve.
Speaker 4: Wilson, that is a significant.
Speaker 7: Spike that might be that little bit might be enough
Speaker 7: of attention, uh to to to get there atention so
Speaker 7: that we could influence these sort of things. And I
Speaker 7: know that most of us out here, including myself, think,
Speaker 7: is it really make a difference, will really matter? And
Speaker 7: I think Thomas Mass, you kind of let us know
Speaker 7: anything besides one email or one phone call. If we
Speaker 7: get to double digits, as little as ten, they may listen.
Speaker 7: So I would encourage everybody to do the same thing.
Speaker 7: Just look up whoever your your your senator, is your representative,
Speaker 7: and on issues like this, not everything. I know we're
Speaker 7: all busy and working, but take the time and send
Speaker 7: them an email and then and then call back to
Speaker 7: Brian Thomas and let you know, brother, we follow it
Speaker 7: up on their people out here listening and take an action,
Speaker 7: and we appreciate what you do.
Speaker 3: Jake, you know what, Thank you so much for calling
Speaker 3: and making that very astute observation. I failed to connect
Speaker 3: Thomas Mass's experience with my request, which is typical when
Speaker 3: we're going to see a piece of legislation that I
Speaker 3: don't like or that I do like. I always encourage
Speaker 3: my listeners that you know, get in touch with your
Speaker 3: elected official and tell them yay or nay or what's
Speaker 3: on your mind about it. And I understand where you're
Speaker 3: coming from that probably most people don't simply because they
Speaker 3: don't think it's going to do an iota's worth a good.
Speaker 3: As it turns out, you heard it right from Thomas Massey.
Speaker 3: If you heard what he said, Jay just repeated it.
Speaker 3: It actually has an impact because nobody reaches out to them.
Speaker 3: I think because we're all into the same perception that
Speaker 3: it's not going to do a WIT's worth a good. Jay,
Speaker 3: thank you so much. I appreciate your efforts and maybe
Speaker 3: trying to get this HB seventy nine shot down. Americans
Speaker 3: for Prosperities Donov and O'Neil joined the program to raise
Speaker 3: to my attention and to my listener's attention, what this
Speaker 3: is all about. And AFP's Ohio chapter is against it
Speaker 3: for a variety of valid reasons. Yes, energy savings is good.
Speaker 3: It is encouraging for everyone to have an opportunity if
Speaker 3: they choose to to make better use of well the
Speaker 3: available and energy saving resources that we've all got insulation, led,
Speaker 3: light bulbs, whatever. But it's your choice. Why should we
Speaker 3: have to pay into a program in order to save money.
Speaker 3: I just that that whole concept just flies in the
Speaker 3: face of logic and reason. Plus the other component of
Speaker 3: it was so baffling to me. The billing includes language
Speaker 3: about a dollar fifty slash seven dollars fifty cent cost
Speaker 3: cap which consumers are forced to pay under this for
Speaker 3: lost distribution revenue. And you're like, what, Yeah, the money
Speaker 3: goes to the energy corporations because we, through this program
Speaker 3: apparently are going to use less energy ergo, their profits
Speaker 3: are going to down. That will be lost distribution revenue.
Speaker 3: So you're saving money, but they having to pay into
Speaker 3: a program that's going to go to the utilities because
Speaker 3: of their lost revenue. I mean, can anyone explain that
Speaker 3: to me? Seven years of college down the drain eight
Speaker 3: forty eight fifty five KFC the talk station, I'll be
Speaker 3: right back, don't go away, eight fifty two it's five
Speaker 3: k R see the talk stations.
Speaker 10: Gee renses tune, I say to sit out loud.
Speaker 3: Joey Ramone, yay, thank you for the bumping volume. Sean McMahon,
Speaker 3: who's done an admirable job covering for the vacationing Joss Trekker,
Speaker 3: who will also be on vacation Monday, and I'm glad
Speaker 3: Sean's going to be covering for him on Monday as well.
Speaker 3: Hopefully some idiot won't mess with our phone system between
Speaker 3: now and Monday, Sean Belici, you have your eyeballs peeled
Speaker 3: in case that idiot returns and invades Joe Strekker's studio.
Speaker 3: I did successfully speak with Dave Hatty this morning, although
Speaker 3: apologies for the look like echo chamber that he seemed
Speaker 3: to have been in. I did alert him to that
Speaker 3: it sounded like perhaps you might have been on a
Speaker 3: speaker phone. But valuable information, as always from Tech Friday's
Speaker 3: Dave Hatter. QR codes dangerous, dangerous, dangerous things. I know
Speaker 3: everybody uses them except me apparently and Dave Hatter. But
Speaker 3: you know, Dave Hatter is a tech expert, and he
Speaker 3: doesn't use QR codes unless he is absolutely one positive

Speaker 3: lot and they require a QR code. You got to
Speaker 3: scan that in order to pay, or you've run into
Speaker 3: maybe a parking meter that has a QR code on it.
Speaker 3: How do you know that that QR code is the
Speaker 3: one that the you know, parking garage or parking lot
Speaker 3: owner actually put there, and not one that has been
Speaker 3: substituted by some nefarious actor who can then very easily
Speaker 3: hack into and get everything off of your phone because
Speaker 3: you scanned it. You don't and you can't, so he
Speaker 3: drives away. I mean, and I have too. It's like, think, God,
Speaker 3: I did what Dave Hatter did it. He's the tech genius.
Speaker 3: He's the one that drove away too, So that happened
Speaker 3: to me one time. I'm not gonna scan it. I'm sorry, man,
Speaker 3: I just have absolutely no faith in those things because
Speaker 3: of Dave Hatter. He's He's made this point in prior
Speaker 3: episodes of Tech Friday, so just double him down on that.
