Speaker 1: I agree, there will only being two genders every day.
Speaker 2: The left just try to change the language.
Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC the Talk Station, five oh five.
Speaker 4: If it's not KRC the Talk station, Happy Valentine's Day.
Speaker 3: Some say, a.
Speaker 4: There it is. You know it's Friday because Joe hit
Speaker 4: the woo hoo button. Just Trucker, executive producer of the program.
Speaker 4: Appreciate what you do.
Speaker 3: Joe. Appreciate the lineup this morning.
Speaker 4: Brian Thomas, glad it's Friday, and a very happy Friday, everybody.
Speaker 4: Happy Valentine's Day, and happy thirty third anniversary of the
Speaker 4: day that my wife agreed to marry me. So got
Speaker 4: engaged on Valentine's Day. Yeah, I know, I just you know,
Speaker 4: Valentine's Day Hallmark holiday as far as I'm concerned. But
Speaker 4: it was an excuse to just go ahead and do
Speaker 4: something that I planned on doing. Got up that more.
Speaker 4: I remember getting up that morning and I didn't have
Speaker 4: a ring or anything. I just went down to Jewelers
Speaker 4: Row and Chicago bought the ring that day and then
Speaker 4: tried to take her out to dinner, and she didn't
Speaker 4: want to go out to dinner. It's okay, So we
Speaker 4: got carry out from our favorite tie food place and
Speaker 4: we sat on the living room floor and after the
Speaker 4: Tai food, I popped the question. As I pointed out,
Speaker 4: I knew it was the right thing to do because
Speaker 4: of one of my all time favorite movies, Cosablanca, happened
Speaker 4: to be on television that night, so we watched Casablanca
Speaker 4: and got engaged. Fast forward to end of June and
Speaker 4: that's when we got married. And I was like pointing
Speaker 4: it out. You know, thirty three years of marriage and
Speaker 4: you know, we had her ups and downs and all
Speaker 4: worked through it. But we told everybody we were getting married.
Speaker 4: We just didn't invite anybody and got married in a
Speaker 4: lobby of the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Naples, Florida, which
Speaker 4: was really fun, and had the judge. Is why we
Speaker 4: had a judge was a friend of one of the
Speaker 4: partners worked at the firm, and he linked me up
Speaker 4: with him and he said, yeah, he'll marry, and so
Speaker 4: he came over with his wife. His wife was a witness,
Speaker 4: and the photographer that we hired the day we got married.
Speaker 3: As a witness too.
Speaker 4: So it was fun and I love that story because
Speaker 4: you don't need a huge, giant stupid expensive wedding where
Speaker 4: you feel badly about the people you didn't invite and
Speaker 4: feel like you left them out or they feel like
Speaker 4: they got dissed because they weren't invited. Well, we were
Speaker 4: equal opportunity offenders. We didn't even invite my mom and dad.
Speaker 4: I actually asked, can we show up? It's like no, no,
Speaker 4: that'll just kind of just sort of the unleveled of
Speaker 4: playing field. Because paul UT's father never left the farm,
Speaker 4: I don't think ever. Dairy farmer, hard working guy, God
Speaker 4: bless him. He was just an amazing, amazing man. Just
Speaker 4: you know, a dairy farmer, small rural Pennsylvania dairy farmer,
Speaker 4: and you got to milk the cows twice a day
Speaker 4: or they stopped producing milk and your income goes away.
Speaker 4: So he's not about to leave the farm. He never
Speaker 4: came to visit us from after we moved to Cincinnati
Speaker 4: here Chicago. His mom, her mom did, but.
Speaker 3: He couldn't leave.
Speaker 4: So you know, they didn't have the ability to go,
Speaker 4: nor the financial means to go. Like no, you guys,
Speaker 4: mom and dad, I'm sorry. We had a party and
Speaker 4: thanks to my mom and dad for throwing a party
Speaker 4: for us.
Speaker 3: After we got back, but just the historic date for.
Speaker 4: Me, and I know my wife is probably listening right now.
Speaker 4: Thank you for saying yes, certainly transform my life. And
Speaker 4: coming up Tech Friday with Dave Hatter. Every Friday at
Speaker 4: six start we get to hear from Intrust. I tease
Speaker 4: Dave and we talk about the spike and spoofing attacks
Speaker 4: on are you ready airplanes? He sent me the article
Speaker 4: that is a subject matter of that topic of conversation,
Speaker 4: and it is scary. I'm already having a problem with
Speaker 4: traveling on an airplane anymore. It keeps getting worse. You know,
Speaker 4: I've said I trust airplanes and I trust flying, and
Speaker 4: I think the likelihood of something happening is very slim.
Speaker 4: I know the statistics, but wow, the more and more
Speaker 4: information comes out about air travel, the more I'm getting
Speaker 4: freaked out. But this is really really creepy messing around
Speaker 4: with the GPS systems. That someone can unilaterally mess around
Speaker 4: with the GPS system is huge implications. So I will
Speaker 4: talk about that with Dave Hatter coming up. The local
Speaker 4: woman stalked by info found on her tender account. You
Speaker 4: think your privacy doesn't matter and you have nothing to hide, Well,
Speaker 4: guess what. It's all out there in the world and
Speaker 4: people can figure out stuff about you online and then
Speaker 4: maybe stalk you online. Real estate scam. We'll also talk
Speaker 4: about that. That'll come up at six point thirty, followed
Speaker 4: by Todd zins Or former Inspector General Wow Okay in
Speaker 4: studio the Citizen Watchdog, What is Rising fifteen and the
Speaker 4: Shenanigans behind it? Also, he's got a new YouTube channel.
Speaker 4: You can channel you can check out Citizen Watchdog with
Speaker 4: Todd Zenzer Former Inspector General, George Brennevan. He's coming back
Speaker 4: in the studio. Will he be in studio, Joe, No,
Speaker 4: he's on the phone. We'll get his thoughts because he's
Speaker 4: all into health. He's got this new Restore Health initiative
Speaker 4: that's going on. And George, he's been on the program
Speaker 4: quite a few times over the years. Is we'll get
Speaker 4: his thoughts on RFK Junior's appointment. And yes, he went through.
Speaker 4: I'm actually you know, I know some of my listeners
Speaker 4: don't like him because of his bizarre political musings and
Speaker 4: his you know, feelings about climate change and all that.
Speaker 4: But he didn't have any control over that. But he
Speaker 4: might might bring transparency into what's going into our bodies,
Speaker 4: which I think is really important. I mean, when you
Speaker 4: look at all the additives and foods, and I never
Speaker 4: was a big label well, I guess I've always looked
Speaker 4: at labels, but ever since that I've tried to meet
Speaker 4: this challenge of eradicating sugar from my diet, you read
Speaker 4: labels more and more and you're like, why is all
Speaker 4: of this crap in our food? And I know most
Speaker 4: of my listeners probably have seen it. You know, you
Speaker 4: compare the labels in the United States for exactly the
Speaker 4: same product, but the products sold in the European Union.
Speaker 4: And I know this all springs from regulations, and you
Speaker 4: know me, I'm not a regulation guy. But if you
Speaker 4: can produce the food in Europe without all the additional
Speaker 4: additives and chemicals and things, why can't we have it here?
Speaker 4: And you know, have they done any research to find
Speaker 4: out what all these additives and things that they put
Speaker 4: into the food, whether they have any adverse impacts on
Speaker 4: our health? Isn't it a worthy endeavor to look into?
Speaker 4: And why is blank and corn syrup literally and almost
Speaker 4: anything you can buy these days? Oh, it adds to
Speaker 4: the appeal of the food. It adds to your enjoyment
Speaker 4: and the flavor. But it's an additive. It's an artificially
Speaker 4: incorporated ingredient.
Speaker 3: Maybe you know, if.
Speaker 4: The food doesn't taste good enough without that, so we
Speaker 4: add some sugar to it so you like it more.
Speaker 4: Probably have any adverse impact on our collective health. Geez
Speaker 4: I put a Facebook post up the other day about
Speaker 4: my struggles against sugar. Am I encouraging everyone to try
Speaker 4: to cut it out of your life because it makes
Speaker 4: you feel better. I mean, I got a couple of
Speaker 4: reasons to do that my health. Generally speaking, I'm hoping
Speaker 4: that it has an impact on my cancer because there's
Speaker 4: a lot of research out there showing there's a correlation
Speaker 4: between sugar and cancer. Canzer eats that stuff up, I
Speaker 4: mean at an insane rate compared to the rest of
Speaker 4: your body cells, so you're feeding the bad guy. So
Speaker 4: I thought, Okay, I don't know if that works for lymfuma,
Speaker 4: but I'm gonna give it a shot.
Speaker 3: And then you.
Speaker 4: Start reading labels and you're like, holy crap. You know,
Speaker 4: you got four grams of sugar in a mere tablespoon
Speaker 4: of ketchup. But the illustration I use on my Facebook
Speaker 4: post was there's forty five grams of sugar in one
Speaker 4: single can of Mountain Dew. And I know there's people
Speaker 4: out there that maybe drink three four five cans of
Speaker 4: DO a day. I'm just letting you know you're probably
Speaker 4: killing yourself. You're certainly not doing your body any good.
Speaker 4: And I'm sorry being preachy this morning. It's Friday, should
Speaker 4: be in a better mood. But as I stare aghast
Speaker 4: at the stories that are in front of me, it's
Speaker 4: a little difficult. And as I see here, fourteen states
Speaker 4: have now sued Elon Musk in the Department of Governmental
Speaker 4: Efficiency and Trump arguing and okay, for those who read
Speaker 4: articles and follow the news, what do we call Elon
Speaker 4: Musk before mentioning his name? What do we say? What
Speaker 4: is not Nazi? Joe, tech billionaire, billionaire. Oh, they put
Speaker 4: it in front of his name every single time. I
Speaker 4: don't care what media authority you're looking at. It's tech
Speaker 4: billionaire and Nazi. Okay, I'll give you that, Joe fine,
Speaker 4: tech billionaire. They're endeavoring to wage a class warfare argument
Speaker 4: in that subtle reminder that Elon Musk is very widely successful,
Speaker 4: but read the leadership genius of Elon Musk. My guest
Speaker 4: yesterday Dennis Neil that I mean, he may be a
Speaker 4: tech billionaire, but he leads a pretty lean life and
Speaker 4: his whole existence and he loves the country is to
Speaker 4: lean thing things out and make things more efficient. And
Speaker 4: shouldn't we want that in our government? Everybody's pulling their
Speaker 4: hair out that we're finding fraud, waste and abuse in government,
Speaker 4: and isn't that a good thing? Do we need as
Speaker 4: many government employees as we have? Apparently not the analogy
Speaker 4: drawn in the book Elon Musk. He buys Twitter and
Speaker 4: ends up eliminating eighty percent of the jobs there, and
Speaker 4: yet Twitter form of you know, functions as easily and
Speaker 4: effectively as it did when they had eighty percent more
Speaker 4: employees than they do. Now, why did you have them
Speaker 4: in the first place? I don't know. Maybe the business
Speaker 4: was poorly run. Maybe the business executives had formerly Twitter
Speaker 4: just thought well, well this is how it is. They
Speaker 4: weren't looking for efficiency. I guess they were spending all
Speaker 4: their time trying to ferret out stuff that they didn't
Speaker 4: like and didn't want you to say out loud. In
Speaker 4: a free country that has the right free and I
Speaker 4: know that doesn't track with privately owned companies. They don't
Speaker 4: have to give you the right to free speech. But
Speaker 4: as a platform to you know, put messages out to
Speaker 4: the world, why wouldn't you want multiple you know, positions
Speaker 4: on any given side so you and I can sort
Speaker 4: of use our logic and reason skills to decide, well,
Speaker 4: which position is better. Perhaps they didn't want you discussing that.
Speaker 4: Perhaps they didn't want you to bring up the reasons
Speaker 4: why DEI, for example, is a failing exercise and results
Speaker 4: in people that don't have merit and the appropriate skill
Speaker 4: sets for any given job are given jobs. Anyway, that
Speaker 4: might be a you know, something to look at when
Speaker 4: you're considering whether DEI is a good thing. But they would,
Speaker 4: you know, push the message that you want to offer
Speaker 4: contra to the one that they're trying to sell you,
Speaker 4: cover it up, push it away, or push it down
Speaker 4: to the bottom so nobody e would ever see it.
Speaker 4: Maybe that's what those eighty percent the employees were doing.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: But going back to the government, look at I mean,
Speaker 4: we every single day, I mean, I'm overwhelmed with the
Speaker 4: billions and billions of dollars that are going out into
Speaker 4: the world for the dumbest possible things, And those billions
Speaker 4: of dollars don't have a paper trail. The grant is issued,
Speaker 4: the money goes out, and no one looks into how
Speaker 4: the money was used, who was the recipient of all
Speaker 4: this money? And honestly, you know, the more fundamental point
Speaker 4: is it's money we don't even have to spend, not
Speaker 4: just the tax dollars that they actually receive in Washington,
Speaker 4: but trillions beyond that, a trillion dollars, one thousand billion dollars.
Speaker 4: Try to grab your head around that. Most people just
Speaker 4: gloss over. I mean, we used to talk about millions
Speaker 4: of dollars and spending and viewed it as a big
Speaker 4: deal in government back when like Reagan was president. Oh
Speaker 4: my god, millions and millions of dollars. Now it's just
Speaker 4: literally we've even moved past billions. And of course a
Speaker 4: billion is a thousand million. So yeah, when I see
Speaker 4: them finding, you know, like this. The other day, Lee
Speaker 4: Zelden found that there was a twenty billion dollar grant
Speaker 4: green energy slush fund is what he referred to for
Speaker 4: the EPA, and they quickly rolled it out. Someone referred
Speaker 4: to it as throwing gold bars off of the Titanic.
Speaker 4: That would be an insider referring to the push to
Speaker 4: get this money out into the world. They knew it
Speaker 4: was being thrown overboard, meaning it wasn't going to yield
Speaker 4: any fruit that you and I would benefit from. We
Speaker 4: just need to get the money out to these non
Speaker 4: governmental organizations to keep the funding rolling. Hurry up quick.
Speaker 4: We lost the election, but that's twenty billion dollars, just
Speaker 4: one tiny fraction of the excess spending government engages in annually.
Speaker 3: And the left is screaming about it. And that's not
Speaker 3: just the left.
Speaker 4: There was a funny op ed piece about the GOP's
Speaker 4: Doge test Kiberly Strassel Wall Street Journal saying, Okay, Republicans,
Speaker 4: spotlight's going to be on you. You're singing the praise
Speaker 4: of Elon Musk ferning out fraud, waste and abuse. But
Speaker 4: when it comes to your pet projects, when it comes
Speaker 4: to your state, when they come calling to cut your program,
Speaker 4: that's fraud filled, wasteful, stupid, abusive, not yielding any benefit
Speaker 4: for the American public. What are you going to do?
Speaker 4: And it's gonna be an interesting thing to behold. This
Speaker 4: is something Congressman Thomas mass You talked about earlier in
Speaker 4: the week on Wednesday, listen to the podcast at fifty
Speaker 4: five Caresey dot com. He said that we're gonna end
Speaker 4: up with an omnibus, and it's gonna be pack full
Speaker 4: of all kinds of these Republican pet projects that they
Speaker 4: refuse to give up on. In other words, continuing the
Speaker 4: vicious downward spile existential threat to the United States of America.
Speaker 4: Five twenty right now fifty five KOs City Talks Station.
Speaker 4: Feel free to call five one three, seven four nine
Speaker 4: fifty eight two three talk would be right back. Mus
Speaker 4: Get five twenty three fifty five ker cit De Talk Station.
Speaker 4: In a very very very very very happy Valentine's Dates
Speaker 4: by Friday to you.
Speaker 3: Quick words from let me.
Speaker 4: Listen to cat Tip from the Greg Guttfield Show coming
Speaker 4: in the morning, and she put it profoundly. It was
Speaker 4: a very interesting observation. Parallel the Democrats screaming about all
Speaker 4: this fraud, waste and abuse being exposed, and Trump's and
Speaker 4: everybody's efforts to cut it out. The parallel she drew,
Speaker 4: and I'll see if I can get it right. It's
Speaker 4: the husband whose reaction to his wife looking at his
Speaker 4: cell phone and finding proof of him fooling around Slash
Speaker 4: having an affair, and he's me exactly, and he screams
Speaker 4: about how she invaded his privacy and how he can't
Speaker 4: trust her since she doesn't trust him so much so
Speaker 4: that she looked at his phone. What mean, Let's see
Speaker 4: what Mississippi James got, Missisippi James, Happy Friday, Happy Valentine's
Speaker 4: to you, my friend.
Speaker 5: Hey, same to you, Brian. Hey, you were speaking of
Speaker 5: the sugar in the milligram. Yeah, most people don't know
Speaker 5: what milligram is, but the formerly is if you divide by.
Speaker 2: Four, that changes to tea spoons.
Speaker 5: So sl can and pophairf forded milligram or sugar divibe
Speaker 5: by four, you're eating the equivalent of ten teaspoons of
Speaker 5: stupar peez Louis.
Speaker 3: It sounds terrible just to hear it, man, right.
Speaker 5: When you take it back to teaspoon people not comfortable
Speaker 5: with millo gram.
Speaker 3: Yeah, divide by four.
Speaker 4: You know, James, you just put an exclamation point on
Speaker 4: my mountain dew analogy to the sugar intake we all have.
Speaker 4: And that's just let's think about this one one can.
Speaker 5: Right, that's the equivalent to it mountain dew. I think
Speaker 5: it is forty eight, So divide that by four and
Speaker 5: that's what you get equivalent how much teaspoon and sugar?
Speaker 4: Actually, I think it's forty six grams. I may have
Speaker 4: been wrong, and I think it's actually I'll have to
Speaker 4: relook it up because I look back at my post,
Speaker 4: which is the impetus for me bring that up? One
Speaker 4: can a mountain do forty six grams of sugar? Is
Speaker 4: it grams?
Speaker 3: Joe? It is? So I was wrong, So you can
Speaker 3: revise your figures.
Speaker 4: And it's it's more, way more than what you came
Speaker 4: up in terms of tea spoons. Yeah, no, it's it's
Speaker 4: actually gram forty six grams of sugar in a twelve
Speaker 4: ounce can of mountain dew.
Speaker 1: WHOA, that's a lot, Bud.
Speaker 4: That's why I said it out loud. If you think
Speaker 4: about it in terms like you are, James, then you
Speaker 4: might say, wait a second, would I sit down and
Speaker 4: consume a bowl containing that many grams of just plain
Speaker 4: raw sugar? And I think the idea sounds horrific, But
Speaker 4: you mix it up with some acidic acid.
Speaker 3: And and and and and.
Speaker 4: Some artificial coloring, and and and some artificial flavoring and
Speaker 4: boiled chug down three or four cans of that stuff
Speaker 4: in a day. James, Thank you man. I appreciate you
Speaker 4: putting some clarity on that. You have a great weekend,
Speaker 4: My good friend. Five twenty six fifty five Karsini Talk station.
Speaker 4: Don't go away, be right back with local stories or
Speaker 4: more phone calls. Feel free to add to the discussion.
Speaker 1: Promise is made here. It is here.

Speaker 4: Wow Mississippi. James blew my mind and went back and
Speaker 4: looked seas you know, everybody, I've figured at the other
Speaker 4: twelve ounce, can a mountain do? If you go over
Speaker 4: to the twenty ounceody does the big dudes at nineteen
Speaker 4: point two five teaspoons of sugar in one twenty ounce
Speaker 4: a mountain dew? I know Montaire this morning, and I apologize.
Speaker 4: It's just that these is mind blowing. If I sat
Speaker 4: in front of nineteen point two five teaspoons of sugar
Speaker 4: and just thought about taking a spoon and just putting
Speaker 4: it in my mouth, it just sounded aw.
Speaker 1: Makes my teeth hurt phrasing.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, just as I'm the one that made you're
Speaker 4: the one that made the noise. Anyway, Over the local stories,
Speaker 4: you feel free to call time in five one, three, seven, four, nine,
Speaker 4: fifty five hundred, eight hundred two three talk pund five
Speaker 4: fifty on eight and t fund. I mean, there's quite
Speaker 4: a few local stories here, but I want to read
Speaker 4: the Michael S. Rose He's an opinion contributor to the
Speaker 4: Cincinnati Inquirer. February twelfth, editorial opinion Michael OS. Rose, headmaster
Speaker 4: at YAY Cincinnati Classical Academy in Reading, also the author
Speaker 4: of a book called the Art of Being Human, and
Speaker 4: I thought he had some excellent observations about the so
Speaker 4: called Nazis that were on the bridge of an Evendale.
Speaker 3: Michael S.
Speaker 4: Rose, and thank you for the opinion, beer for writing
Speaker 4: the opinion, because it's food for thought, as he writes.
Speaker 4: Across Ohigland, recently in the Cincinnti area, that is a
Speaker 4: disturbing phenomenon has emerged. A group of masked men clad
Speaker 4: in black uniforms taking the public streets, waving swastika flags
Speaker 4: and shouting racial appithets throughout through bullhorns. Their inflammatory actions
Speaker 4: have understandably john widespread condemnation, with many labeling them as
Speaker 4: neo Nazis. Yet while their theatrics demand on equivocal denunciation,
Speaker 4: we must also take a step back and ask a
Speaker 4: critical question, who are these people really? It is important
Speaker 4: for all people of goodwill to stand united against racism,
Speaker 4: racial slurs, and any acts meant to divide our communities. However,
Speaker 4: we must also recognize when we are being manipulated. The
Speaker 4: anonymity of this group is key. Unlike typical protesters, who
Speaker 4: demonstrate in public precisely because they want to be seen
Speaker 4: and heard, these individuals hide behind masks, refusing to take
Speaker 4: responsibility for their actions. The very nature of their secrecy
Speaker 4: suggests that they are not authentic activists, but provocateurs, engaged
Speaker 4: in psychological operations designed to sow discord and enmity among us.
Speaker 4: History has shown that when bad actors seek to divide
Speaker 4: a community, they often do so from the shadows. Anonymity
Speaker 4: allows them to operate without accountability, enabling them to create
Speaker 4: an illusion of widespread division where little or none exists.
Speaker 4: This is precisely why these masked figures chose to waive
Speaker 4: symbols in the nineteen thirties and nineteen forties German fascism
Speaker 4: in communities where those symbols are neither historically relevant nor
Speaker 4: culturally significant. The swastika flag in modern America is not
Speaker 4: a symbol of a genuine political movement, but a deliberate
Speaker 4: provocation meant to generate outrage and division. Consider the absurdity.
Speaker 4: Why would anyone with a genuine belief about white supremacy
Speaker 4: heide his identity while marching in broad daylight? Traditional demonstrations,
Speaker 4: even controversier ones have participants who are unafraid to stand
Speaker 4: behind their words and actions. The fact that no one
Speaker 4: seems to know who these masked individuals are, where they
Speaker 4: come from, or what their real affiliations might be should
Speaker 4: give us all pause. Unfortunately, this type of operation is effective.
Speaker 4: The appearance of these groups in Ohio leads the perception
Speaker 4: leads to the perception that our communities are more divided
Speaker 4: than they truly are. By exploiting media coverage and social
Speaker 4: media outrage, these provocateurs ensure their message is amplified far
Speaker 4: beyond their numbers, making it seem as though our cities
Speaker 4: are in turmoil, when in reality, we are being played.
Speaker 4: At its core, this issue is about more than just
Speaker 4: a group of massed agitators. It's about how we as
Speaker 4: communities respond to attempts to divide us. Those who see
Speaker 4: racism and racial slurs where they do not exist, or
Speaker 4: fail to recognize when they are being manipulated by provocateurs,
Speaker 4: risk playing directly into the hands of those who thrive
Speaker 4: on discord. The best response to such provocations is twofold
Speaker 4: first to call them out for what they are shameless
Speaker 4: attempts to manufacture division, and second, to ensure that our
Speaker 4: own words and actions do not give fuel to their fire.
Speaker 4: By fostering a culture of respect, accountability, and clear eyed discernment,
Speaker 4: we can counteract those to seek to exploit fear and
Speaker 4: misunderstanding for their own ends. Ohio'st communities are stronger than this.
Speaker 4: The people of Cincinnati and beyond must recognize that our
Speaker 4: greatest strength lies in our unity. Notice my pause and
Speaker 4: emphasis on those words, because this concept transcends just this
Speaker 4: stupid people on the bridge. This unity is what makes
Speaker 4: America great and at every turn, in every four and
Speaker 4: I'm diverting from his words. I apologize, Michael, and I
Speaker 4: just can't resist interjecting these thoughts. And I've been commenting
Speaker 4: about this for years. Across this great land of ours,
Speaker 4: the pot of division is constantly being stirred. Whether it's
Speaker 4: Nazis and Evendale or alleged Nazis and Evendale, or this
Speaker 4: nonsensical division that comes about from trying to tell you
Speaker 4: that a guy is in fact a girl when he's
Speaker 4: a guy, or anything else points a division that can
Speaker 4: be stirred and divide us are what is the problem
Speaker 4: with our country and why our country is deteriorating, and
Speaker 4: there is an ulterior motive to stirring the pot of
Speaker 4: division in this country, and and and and taking away
Speaker 4: the strength that does in fact lie in our unity. Anyway,
Speaker 4: Michael concludes, we cannot allow anonymous agitators to dictate the
Speaker 4: narrative or to poison the goodwill that exists among neighbors.
Speaker 4: By standing firm in the truth and refusing to be manipulated,
Speaker 4: we can ensure that the efforts of these provocateurs fail
Speaker 4: and that our communities emerged stronger and more united than ever.
Speaker 4: Excellent observations. Michael did a fantastic job, and I appreciate
Speaker 4: what you're doing. Five thirty six, five thirty seven, five kres.
Speaker 4: The Thalks station stack is stupid coming up next or
Speaker 4: phone calls, Feel free to call me.
Speaker 6: Right back fifty five KRC.
Speaker 4: Yes, And my friend Jeffrey on Facebook is excited. He
Speaker 4: sends me an instant message every week. Wait for it
Speaker 4: coming up on five point forty big primus fan. I
Speaker 4: guess just like Joe Strecker there you are putting a
Speaker 4: smile on everybody's face and get people out of bed
Speaker 4: in the morning. Anyhow, let's go to the local stories,
Speaker 4: or rather, I'm sorry. The stack is stupid as a tradition,
Speaker 4: as his tradition, and of course it being Friday, what
Speaker 4: is the tradition on Fridays?
Speaker 3: Naked people doing stupid.
Speaker 6: Things as a tradition.
Speaker 4: Gustavo Mendez standing in his bathroom quote in a state
Speaker 4: of undressed close quote guess heart is while using a
Speaker 4: cannabis vape pen he had just purchased at a licensed
Speaker 4: Oregon dispensary when the pen exploded in his hands, injuring
Speaker 4: him and causing a small fire. This according to lawsuit
Speaker 4: that was fouled this month. He bought the cannabis vape
Speaker 4: manufactured marketed by Defending and Quantum Alchemy at a shop
Speaker 4: that's identified. Doesn't matter he used the pen only a
Speaker 4: handful of times. Well, I know I was waiting for
Speaker 4: that Joe, since he was naked and in a matter
Speaker 4: for which it was designed. Of course that was in
Speaker 4: the complaint. He noticed the pen and become hot to
Speaker 4: the touch in February thirteenth of twenty twenty three. Lawsuit
Speaker 4: just filed this week ar this year or a couple
Speaker 4: of weeks ago.
Speaker 3: A week ago.
Speaker 4: Penninet exploded in his hands when the bave pen exploded
Speaker 4: because thermal and chemical burns the parts of the plane
Speaker 4: OF's body, including but not limited to his eyes, his torso,
Speaker 4: and his penis. Eye injuries Mendez suffered allegedly caused ongoing
Speaker 4: slight sensitivity, preventing him from continuing his work as a welder,
Speaker 4: which you know, I'm sure the defendants will argue may
Speaker 4: the welding profession may have had a negative impact on
Speaker 4: his site. Anyway, that's the defense and I'm just offering it. Mendes,
Speaker 4: represented by Clark and Law Associates, suing Highway ninety nine,
Speaker 4: the store in Quantum Alcony for passing future medical expenses,
Speaker 4: twenty thousand dollars in property damage caused to his bathroom
Speaker 4: that seems outrageous, and fifty one, five hundred and ninety
Speaker 4: six dollars in economic damages from lost wages very specific amount.
Speaker 4: They're also looking for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
Speaker 4: in non economic damages to make him whole from the pain,
Speaker 4: suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, life disruptions, embarrassment,
Speaker 4: and inconvenience. Suit states that due to Quantum Alconies and
Speaker 4: Highway ninety nine's various alleged violations. He sustained thermal and
Speaker 4: chemical burns of various parts of his body, including but
Speaker 4: not limited to, his eyes, torso, and penis.
Speaker 3: Due to these.
Speaker 4: Thermal and chemical burns, he's experienced and continues to experience,
Speaker 4: and he almost certainly will in the future, experience significant pain, suffering,
Speaker 4: life disruptions, embarrassment, loss of enjoyment of life, and inconvenience.
Speaker 4: This has taken me back to my days of practicing law. Anyhow,
Speaker 4: I guess that kind of th thing happens. That's why
Speaker 4: airplanes say do not put those devices in your stowed baggage,
Speaker 4: your check baggage. If a fire starts, they want it
Speaker 4: to happen in the overhead compartment so we can all
Speaker 4: be aware of it before the plane goes down. Oh
Speaker 4: there we are talking about airlines and problems on airlines
Speaker 4: against five forty five fifty five krst thak station. More
Speaker 4: stupid coming up, and I hope you can stick around
Speaker 4: for it.
Speaker 6: This is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio state.
Speaker 4: Five fifty fifty five krs decalk station. Let us return
Speaker 4: to the stack. Is stupid.
Speaker 3: Uh West Virginias.
Speaker 4: This one juvenile detained after deputy city assaulted multiple people,
Speaker 4: including police officers, while naked and under the.
Speaker 3: Influence of drugs.
Speaker 1: Why are you doing that?
Speaker 3: Let's find out together.
Speaker 4: Deputy's dispatch to a fight in progress at Burgess Mobile
Speaker 4: home Park in Beverly, West Virginia. Witnesses told nine to
Speaker 4: one one operators that a naked woman was screaming and
Speaker 4: fighting with people. The caller, who had a small child
Speaker 4: in the home, said the girl forced herself into her
Speaker 4: home and then she had to fight her off. Witness
Speaker 4: is able to drag the woman out of the residence.
Speaker 4: She began running around the trailer park before running into
Speaker 4: another trailer. Once deputy showed up, they found numerous people
Speaker 4: with injuries to their faces and arms, and were told
Speaker 4: that the girl was allegedly under the influence of pick
Speaker 4: a drug got one in mine acid. Deputy's located the
Speaker 4: girl in the bath of another trailer. Officer had his
Speaker 4: taser drawn and told her to get out of the bathtub,
Speaker 4: but she did not listen to commands and was in coherent.
Speaker 4: According to deputy's, officer attempted to grab the woman's arm
Speaker 4: to get her out of the bathtub and he got
Speaker 4: struck in the face. Deputy actually had cuts on his
Speaker 4: nose and forehead and under his left eye. Girl put
Speaker 4: in a handcuffs after a further struggle and into the
Speaker 4: back of the cruiser before she was identified as a
Speaker 4: juvenile taking a Davis Medical Center, but could not be
Speaker 4: transported by ambulance due to her being uncooperative. Her family
Speaker 4: was contacted and the parents took her took custody of
Speaker 4: her at the hospital. Deputy, along with one witness that
Speaker 4: the scene, sought medical treatment for possible blood exposure due
Speaker 4: to the injuries. Multiple videos of the girls' actions recorded,
Speaker 4: of course, on people's cell phones, part of the officers
Speaker 4: showing up. I'm sure they're online somewhere if you want
Speaker 4: to look for juven Oppetition has been filed through the
Speaker 4: Prosecuting Attorney's office. Four counts of battery, two counts a
Speaker 4: battery and a police officer, destruction of property and trespassing.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 4: Joe, San Francisco naked man. Yeah, it's kind of the
Speaker 4: norm out there, isn't it. Joe naked. That's all we
Speaker 4: need to say. Naked man in San Francisco. End of story. Anyway,
Speaker 4: this naked man detained a connection with a fire that
Speaker 4: broke out into residence in Valencia Street. San Francisco Police
Speaker 4: Department said the fire broke out at a building located
Speaker 4: on Valencia near Alamo draft House in the mission. Police
Speaker 4: responded around five point fifty in the morning and met
Speaker 4: with San Francisco Fire Department personnel who were taking care
Speaker 4: of the fire. Fire extended from the building's first floor
Speaker 4: to the third floor in the building's lightwell. Person taken
Speaker 4: to the hospital with unknown injuries, according to the police department.
Speaker 4: Residents in the area were told to shelter in place
Speaker 4: to the smoke. Witnesses at the scene told local news
Speaker 4: that Joey Horta they say saw one guy. Joey Horta
Speaker 4: say they saw a naked man who doesn't live there,
Speaker 4: go into the building during the fire. This time, it's
Speaker 4: unknown whether the two events are connected. I'm gonna go
Speaker 4: with yeah. We got a Marmaduke, Arkansas, where a Sheriff's
Speaker 4: deputies arrested a Marmaduke woman Wednesday after she said after
Speaker 4: they said she sent a photo of her genitals to.
Speaker 1: A miner, why are you doing that?
Speaker 4: Green kind of District Court Judge Daniels Stidham found probable
Speaker 4: cause to charge thirty six year old Amber mcm murray
Speaker 4: with sexual indecency with a child. Documents say McMurray's accused
Speaker 4: of sending text messages to the child, including a photo
Speaker 4: of her huha quote as a gift for the miner's
Speaker 4: birthday close quote thank you Joe, expressing my sentiments in
Speaker 4: a SoundBite exactly Sergeant Critten had said. The photo had
Speaker 4: a picture frame around the edges with the words you
Speaker 4: make my heart smile, as well as a digital gif
Speaker 4: of a cupcake that read make a wish?
Speaker 3: Do what the amen? Brother.
Speaker 4: According to the affidavi, murray and the child texted on
Speaker 4: a regular basis that's in the report, including conversations of
Speaker 4: a sexual nature. McMurray was arrested February fifth, taking to
Speaker 4: the Green Kind of Attention Center to await her next
Speaker 4: court appearance. Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 4: And along the same lines, we go to a Chamber County, Texas,
Speaker 4: where a former Barber's Hill High School teacher booked into
Speaker 4: jail facing allegations that she had sex with a student
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty three, Molly Colin Spears. We have a
Speaker 4: lot of these lately, don't we. Molly Colleen Spears and
Speaker 4: died of by the Chambers kind of grand jury for
Speaker 4: the charge of improper relations with a student back in
Speaker 4: February of this year. February of this year of the
Speaker 4: indictment weren't for arrest issued. She wasn't arrested until the
Speaker 4: eleventh of this month, when her attorney said she's self
Speaker 4: surrendered to the Chamber County Jail. Bond said at fifty
Speaker 4: thousand dollars. She's accused of engaging in sexual conduct and
Speaker 4: intercourse with the male students during her time at the
Speaker 4: as a teacher at Barber's Hill High School. She's solicited
Speaker 4: the contact by text message and through a commercial online
Speaker 4: service to meet the student idiots doing idiot things because
Speaker 4: they're idiots.
Speaker 3: Jeez.
Speaker 4: Barber's Hill School District issued a statement, Molly Spears worked
Speaker 4: past tense as a high school teacher for Barbara Hill
Speaker 4: High isd from August twenty one to June twenty three,
Speaker 4: earlier the month. Per policy, the district will not confirm
Speaker 4: any internal investigation the matter. Wow, you know every time
Speaker 4: I read a story like this, you're gonna get caught.
Speaker 4: First off, having sex with children is disgusting. Don't do it,
Speaker 4: it's criminal. And second, kids never keep their mouth shut.
Speaker 4: They show people everything. You send your picture of your
Speaker 4: huhad to a sixteen year old or whatever, they're gonna
Speaker 4: show all their friends. Who can argue with No one
Speaker 4: can argue with five point fifty six. Hey, thank god
Speaker 4: they do that. Way we catch these people and put
Speaker 4: them in jail where they belong and where bad things
Speaker 4: happen to them, beyond the reaches of the criminal justice system,
Speaker 4: Right Joe, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: Don't go away.
Speaker 4: We got plenty to talk of until we get to
Speaker 4: six point thirty with Tech Friday Dave Hatter.
Speaker 3: That'll be in the next hour.
Speaker 1: Covering Trump's first one hundred days. Every day, every day,
Speaker 1: promises made, promises kept.
Speaker 7: Fifty five krs the talk station. You've heard the fifty
Speaker 7: five kr sing detalk station, Happy Valentine's Day.
Speaker 4: Pride Time's always inviting phone calls here in the fifty
Speaker 4: five car see morning show. We don't have guests lined up,
Speaker 4: and guests will begin, of course, at the bottom of
Speaker 4: the hour With Tech Friday's Dave Hatter, we're speaking with
Speaker 4: the spike and spoofing attack on Yes airplanes, local woman
Speaker 4: stalked by info that was found on her tender account,
Speaker 4: and online real estate scams. Fast forward an hour. Todd Zenzer,
Speaker 4: a former Inspector General. He'll be in studio. The Citizen
Speaker 4: Watchdog is Todd Zinser. He will explain what Rising fifteen
Speaker 4: is and as Joe Strecker on the Rundown describes it,
Speaker 4: the shenanigans related to it, and a new YouTube channel
Speaker 4: you can check out Citizen Watchdog with Todd Enzer. Right
Speaker 4: fast forward two hours, George Brunnember returns of the program,
Speaker 4: and we'll get his thoughts on RFK Junior's appointment.
Speaker 3: It went through.
Speaker 4: He is our new healthcare zar and how is the
Speaker 4: Restore Wellness initiative going on? He launched that in an
Speaker 4: effort to bring awareness about well better health, better food,
Speaker 4: and kind of along the lines of rfk's appointment, and
Speaker 4: I think he's probably pretty excited about it, and I
Speaker 4: am too. I don't need to go back through it.
Speaker 4: I went through it in the last hour, but I
Speaker 4: do observe that we need more awareness, we need information,
Speaker 4: we need real information about what's in food. We're putting
Speaker 4: into our bodies. And you know what, I'm happy there's
Speaker 4: a polio vaccine and I'm glad I got it. I'm
Speaker 4: not anti vaccine at all. I didn't get a COVID shot,
Speaker 4: and I'm glad I didn't do that. And you know
Speaker 4: what's with Children's hospital denying transplant surgery to a kid
Speaker 4: just because the kid didn't get the COVID nineteen shot.
Speaker 4: Don't the statistics bear out that people who don't have
Speaker 4: comorbid conditions don't need COVID nineteen shots, and children are very,
Speaker 4: very very unlikely to succumb to the illness. And doctor
Speaker 4: Fauci was an unelected bureaucrat with a lot of power
Speaker 4: and a lot of authority, and she's picking and choosing
Speaker 4: those unelected officials that we want to make fun of
Speaker 4: or criticize or condemn. And when you got a man
Speaker 4: who's an unelected bureaucrat, who doesn't need a salary, who
Speaker 4: doesn't have to have that job, who's willing to do
Speaker 4: it for free, and who is a king at ferreting
Speaker 4: out fraud, waste and abuse. And you know, billionaire Elon Musk,
Speaker 4: and every article you read, you got to see that
Speaker 4: They can't. They can't deprive you or the world of
Speaker 4: reminding you that he's a billionaire. But ask yourself, well,
Speaker 4: why is Elon Musk a billionaire? Because his giant brain
Speaker 4: helped create business and industries that people love, and he
Speaker 4: honed those businesses and industries down and made them lean,
Speaker 4: efficient businesses. That was my conversation yesterday with Dennis Neil
Speaker 4: in his book The Leadership Genius of Elon Musk. What
Speaker 4: do you had that he made a billion dollars on
Speaker 4: it through his own efforts. Guy doesn't even own a mansion.
Speaker 4: He owns a one of his tiny houses that apparently
Speaker 4: is collapsible.
Speaker 3: That is keate.
Speaker 4: Neil revealed that yesterday, and I knew he didn't live
Speaker 4: in a big house. He doesn't. He doesn't own a yacht.
Speaker 4: He doesn't go flaunt his money to anybody.
Speaker 3: He sat. He camps out at other people's houses regularly.
Speaker 4: Anyway over the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 3: Sorry standing on the shoulders of giants.
Speaker 4: But so you want proof of government fraud, And I'll
Speaker 4: go back to kat tips point on Guttfeldt Show last night.
Speaker 4: This this this democrat's crazy behavior and the screaming and
Speaker 4: yelling at the plug being pulled out of all the fraud, waste,
Speaker 4: and abuse. You know the it's it's the husband screaming
Speaker 4: at his wife for violating his privacy while she confronts
Speaker 4: him with evidence of him having an affair on his
Speaker 4: cell phone. He's mad because she apparently didn't trust him
Speaker 4: enough that she went rifling through his cell phone. So
Speaker 4: the object of the discussion him having an affair is
Speaker 4: overlooked by the topic of her looking at her phone
Speaker 4: in the first place. Yeah, I thought that was a
Speaker 4: beautiful analogy. Anyway, Editorial Board, Remember when eliminating government waste
Speaker 4: fraud abuse was a bipartisan goal. Well, now that Elon
Speaker 4: Musk is trying to do that, I should have put
Speaker 4: billionaire in there, because the journal didn't. Democrats and the
Speaker 4: Friends and the press say his Department of Government Efficiency
Speaker 4: is tilting at windmills. New York Times headline this week,
Speaker 4: quote at Oval office must makes broad claims of federal
Speaker 4: fraud without proof. The White House retorted quote, Apparently the
Speaker 4: Times and other like minded outlets lack access to a
Speaker 4: new fangled research tool called Google.
Speaker 3: No proof of fraud. How much do you want?
Speaker 4: A Government Accountability Office report last spring estimated the federal government.
Speaker 4: This is in the Government Accountability Office, not coming from DOGE.
Speaker 4: It's the GAO and its last spring. So it was
Speaker 4: under the Biden administration, all right. In their words, the
Speaker 4: federal government could lose between two hundred and thirty three
Speaker 4: billion and five hundred and twenty one billion dollars annually
Speaker 4: to fraud. A federal auditor said a government wide approach
Speaker 4: is required to address it and recommended that the Treasury,
Speaker 4: again in their words, leverage data analytics capabilities to stop
Speaker 4: questionable payments. That's what DOGE is trying to do. The
Speaker 4: GAO earlier again, Biden administration estimated that eleven to fifteen
Speaker 4: percent of unemployment benefits during the pandemic were fraudulent totally,
Speaker 4: between one hundred billion and one hundred and thirty five
Speaker 4: billion dollars. Some went to transitional gangs, prisoners, state sponsored hackers.
Speaker 4: The Labor Departments Inspector General estimated at least one hundred
Speaker 4: and ninety one billion in improper pandemic unemployment payments. The
Speaker 4: Secret Service found hackers linked to the Chinese government stole
Speaker 4: at least twenty million in COVID benefits. A pandemic employee
Speaker 4: Retention Tax Credit, the ERTC has been another ripe target.
Speaker 4: According to the Internal Revenue Service, a California prisoner claimed
Speaker 4: more than five hundred and fifty million dollars from the ERTC.
Speaker 4: The IRS pause processing of new ERTC claims in twenty
Speaker 4: twenty three. Bien administration, because of rampant fraud, initially estimated
Speaker 4: a fifty five billion dollars The program's costs a balloon
Speaker 4: to two hundred and thirty billion dollars in counting one
Speaker 4: culprit Outdated government IT systems that lack fraud controls, such
Speaker 4: as identity verification agencies, also don't internally share data that
Speaker 4: could identify red flags. Congress in twenty twenty one, note,
Speaker 4: the administration authorized the pilot program that gave the Treasury
Speaker 4: access to the Social Security Administration's full death master file
Speaker 4: to prevent payments to dead people. The Biden Treasury last
Speaker 4: month said that this prevented and recovered thirty one million
Speaker 4: dollars in improper payments in fraud over five months, which
Speaker 4: it called just the tip of the iceberg. Note the
Speaker 4: administration better financial controls, technology and data sharing could reduce
Speaker 4: IRS's improper payments, including the earned income tax cres. That
Speaker 4: credit estimated at thirty three and a half percent, Obamacare
Speaker 4: Net Premium tax Credit twenty six percent, the refundable portion
Speaker 4: of the Child Tax Credit fourteen and a half percent,
Speaker 4: and the Education Tax Credit thirty one point six percent.
Speaker 4: These as those estimates come from the Biden Treasury Inspector
Speaker 4: General for Tax Administration. Notice a trend here the irs
Speaker 4: Improper payments increased under Biden, no doubt, because it's harder
Speaker 4: to stop fraud when so much more money is flying
Speaker 4: out the door. Biden officials also eased income verifications for
Speaker 4: Obamacare subsidies, Medicaid, and other welfare programs. The Health and
Speaker 4: Human Services Department last year estimated eighty five billion dollars
Speaker 4: in improper payments in Medicare and Medicaid, again last year
Speaker 4: identified under the Biden administration. It's ironic, to say the least.
Speaker 4: The Democrats have lambasted the peer to peer Payments APT
Speaker 4: ZELL for not doing enough to prevent fraud on its network.
Speaker 4: Zell's estimated fraud weight rate ready zero point one percent,
Speaker 4: which is apparently ninety nine percent lower than the goal
Speaker 4: for government programs, which many agencies do not achieve. Maybe
Speaker 4: they need to know your customer rules so they don't
Speaker 4: send money to criminals. The political left's hostility to Musk's
Speaker 4: anti fraud campaign is hard to understand, but the partisan
Speaker 4: times are such that if mister Musk said the sky's blue,
Speaker 4: liberals would probably say he has no proof. Sorry, state
Speaker 4: of affairs, folks, extraordinarily sorry, state of affairs.
Speaker 3: Whose side do.
Speaker 4: You want on this six fifteen to fifty five kerricytalk station, Steve,
Speaker 4: I promise you you'll be first out of the gate
Speaker 4: when we get back, but I got to take a
Speaker 4: break at is six fifteen, and I do want to
Speaker 4: strongly encourage you to save money, which is I grew
Speaker 4: up on the West Side. I'm a Dulhesian. You search
Speaker 4: for areas to save money when it comes to car repairs,
Speaker 4: and you know how expensive car repairs are getting, and
Speaker 4: have gotten foreign exchange. You got an imported car from
Speaker 4: a traditional import manufacturer, just take it to foreign exchange.
Speaker 4: I assure you you will save money over the dealer cost.
Speaker 4: That's the reason for foreign exchange existence. They're fantastic with
Speaker 4: customer service. Your car will be worked on and repaired
Speaker 4: with a full warranty on parts and service by an
Speaker 4: AS certified Master technician who you can actually talk to,
Speaker 4: and you can't do that at a dealer. They got
Speaker 4: that service manager standing between you and the person who
Speaker 4: actually does the work on the car. But if you
Speaker 4: want to talk to the person that works on your car,
Speaker 4: like I do. Foreign Exchange Westchester, that's where we go,
Speaker 4: my wife and I, my daughter, my son, Westchester location
Speaker 4: for the imported cars. That's a Tylersville exit off of
Speaker 4: I seventy five. Just head east off that exit two
Speaker 4: streets and hang a right on Kingland. I think there's
Speaker 4: a chicken joint right there on the corner there, but
Speaker 4: it's Kinglind Drive and it's just a short jog off
Speaker 4: the the off ramp there. Uh, And you'll run right
Speaker 4: into it and tell him, Brian said, Hi. When you
Speaker 4: stop in at your appointment time and when you call
Speaker 4: for an appointment, please tell him. Brian said, Hi. Five
Speaker 4: one three six four four twenty six twenty six five
Speaker 4: one three six four four twenty six, twenty six. You'll
Speaker 4: find them online at Foreign X four in the letter.
Speaker 3: X dot com.
Speaker 6: Fifty five KR six six twenty.
Speaker 4: Fifty five KCV talk station, Happy Valentine's Day, and a
Speaker 4: happy Friday five one three seven, fify five hundred eight
Speaker 4: hunredy two three talk anybody else happy it's Friday, David. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I can always expect agreement from him. He's got no
Speaker 4: say in the matter. He can't call in and contradict
Speaker 4: himself because he's dead. Anyway, where the phones would go,
Speaker 4: I promised Tevi'd be first, Richard, hang on, I understand
Speaker 4: you have a really good point to make. Welcome to
Speaker 4: the program, Steve. It's good to hear from this morning.
Speaker 8: I have a really good point to make too. I
Speaker 8: hope I want to take fIF fifteen seconds here. But
Speaker 8: the problem is they're worried about people having influence that
Speaker 8: nobody voted on. I believe the most important person, or
Speaker 8: the most powerful person in the president's inner circle is
Speaker 8: his chief of staff, who he appoints. And I'm ninety
Speaker 8: nine percent certain. I don't even think they need Senate
Speaker 8: Senate confirmation.
Speaker 3: I believe that is correct.
Speaker 2: There's not a more.
Speaker 8: Powerful person than the chief of staff that sets the agenda,
Speaker 8: controls access to the president. But you know, again, Elon's
Speaker 8: in the news now. He's finding things they didn't want
Speaker 8: you to know about. So that's who they're upset about.
Speaker 4: That's you too, Steve. I appreciate the call. You forgot
Speaker 4: to say billionaire Elon Musk and Joe interjects and Nazi Richard,
Speaker 4: welcome to the show. Good to hear from you today.
Speaker 9: Hey, Brian, Hey, thanks for taking the call. I listened
Speaker 9: to you just about every morning.
Speaker 3: Thank you, sir. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 10: Great job.
Speaker 11: So I called.
Speaker 9: I was talking to your call spinner. I called because,
Speaker 9: uh I heard I saw you heard you mentioned JD.
Speaker 9: Vance and how one of his relatives. I forget exactly
Speaker 9: if it's a niece or something you might know better.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't mention JD.
Speaker 4: But I am aware that there is some familial relationship
Speaker 4: between the child that was denied a transplant because she
Speaker 4: didn't have the COVID vaccine, among others, and JD.
Speaker 3: Vance.
Speaker 4: But I think that's immaterial to the broader discussion of
Speaker 4: how come a child can't get a transplant because she
Speaker 4: doesn't have or he. I don't know if it's a
Speaker 4: matter of a girl or a boy doesn't have the
Speaker 4: COVID shot exactly.
Speaker 9: So I called his actually work at children, Oh okay,
Speaker 9: and they put out an they put out an internal
Speaker 9: memo and it had had a bunch of other legal
Speaker 9: jargon on there, but basically they had said that they
Speaker 9: they didn't specifically allude to the JD Van's case, but
Speaker 9: they had said that they evaluate every organ transplant, uh,
Speaker 9: and they make the best decision for the kid themselves,
Speaker 9: just like they did with the COVID shots. They make
Speaker 9: the best decision themselves to decide whether they should go
Speaker 9: through with the transplant or not, you know, based upon
Speaker 9: their assessment. So the point the point being, like they
Speaker 9: did with the COVID shots, they take the choice away
Speaker 9: from the family and the parents, yeah, to make that
Speaker 9: choice to say, we know the risks, but we're gonna
Speaker 9: take them anyway. And it's the just like they did
Speaker 9: with the COVID shots, they forced people to they.
Speaker 3: I'm just is the word irony?
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 4: One of the one of the problems that the COVID
Speaker 4: shots revealed, one of the side effects is heart problems.
Speaker 3: Are we talking about a heart transplant here? I think
Speaker 3: let that just process that one.
Speaker 4: Richard, I mean, Lord almighty, thank you so much for
Speaker 4: shedding additional insight information on this situation. I mean, all right,
Speaker 4: so here's the timeline. They create a virus in a
Speaker 4: lab that is deadly to some human beings, and it
Speaker 4: should have been created in the first place. It gets
Speaker 4: unleashed on the globe and millions of people ultimately die
Speaker 4: from it. They rush a vaccine and under an emergency
Speaker 4: use authorization and then force millions of people to do
Speaker 4: something they might otherwise not do, and that's without information
Speaker 4: about the side effects and no ability to seek legal
Speaker 4: recourse because of emergency use authorization. It should you become
Speaker 4: harmed by the vaccine for things that they didn't disclose
Speaker 4: about it, making the pharmaceutical companies literally millions and millions
Speaker 4: of dollars, and now they refuse to disclose any records
Speaker 4: about it. Get a load of this one real quick. Here,
Speaker 4: I can put an exclamation point on this whole thing.
Speaker 4: Freedom of Information Act lawsuit was filed on behalf of
Speaker 4: the Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency. This lawsuit
Speaker 4: file back on twenty twenty one. When they refuse to
Speaker 4: turn over information, pursue into a foyer request. This is
Speaker 4: the FDA, give me the documents. I have a legal
Speaker 4: right to get them. That's what the FOYA says. And
Speaker 4: so they didn't. So that's when you go to court,
Speaker 4: and of course a judge orders you to produce them. Right,
Speaker 4: this entity wanted documents the FDA relied on in approving
Speaker 4: Pfizer's vaccine. In November twenty one, the agency said it
Speaker 4: would release five hundred pages per month, which would mean
Speaker 4: it would take seventy five years to ultimately get all
Speaker 4: of them. January twenty two, District Judge Mark Pittman of
Speaker 4: Texas rejected that proposal and ordered them to expedite the
Speaker 4: release fifty five thousand pages a month, aiming to complete
Speaker 4: the whole disclosure of four hundred and fifty thousand pages.
Speaker 4: Keep that number of mind. By August of twenty two.
Speaker 4: As the documents were rolling out, researchers began uncovering glaring gaps,
Speaker 4: preventing a systemic review of the data, fueling suspicions about
Speaker 4: what else the FADA might be withholding. According to the
Speaker 4: reporting from the Brownston Institute Marianne Demassi props, it became
Speaker 4: evident that the FDA withheld records directly tied to its
Speaker 4: emergency youth authorization of Pfiser's vaccine, estimated to beat over
Speaker 4: one million pages, not the four hundred and fifty thousand
Speaker 4: dollars one thousand that they said they had documents which
Speaker 4: the FDA had full knowledge of, were excluded from earlier disclosures,
Speaker 4: effectively misleading the judiciary and undermining public trust. According to
Speaker 4: the attorney, the FDA has been hiding millions of pages
Speaker 4: from the Court, the planets, and the public. Only those
Speaker 4: concerned about the truth seek to conceal evidence. The FDA
Speaker 4: here has clearly concerned about the truth and lacks confidence
Speaker 4: in the review that it conducted the license Pfizer's COVID
Speaker 4: nineteen vaccine because it's doing everything possible to prevent independent
Speaker 4: scientists from conducting an independent review. In his ruling, Judge
Speaker 4: Pittman's latest ruling, quoting Patrick Henry, the liberties of a
Speaker 4: people never were, nor will ever be secure when the
Speaker 4: transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them. In
Speaker 4: his order, Pitman concluded, the COVID nineteen pandemics long past,
Speaker 4: and so is any legitimate reason for concealing from the
Speaker 4: American people the information relied upon by the government in
Speaker 4: approving the Pfizer vaccine. According to the latest order of
Speaker 4: the additional documents slated to be released by June of
Speaker 4: next year. Don't hold your breath. Tech Friday's Day of
Speaker 4: Hatter coming up next first Affordable Medical Imaging. Thinking of
Speaker 4: things medical think about affordable imaging services. It's a great
Speaker 4: place to go. The prices are absolutely amazing compared to
Speaker 4: the Hospital Imaging Department MRI, CT scans, echo cardiograms. There's
Speaker 4: not a single scan that even comes close to even
Speaker 4: one thousand dollars, where a CT scan at a hospital
Speaker 4: or an ultra sounate the hospital will be thousands of dollars.
Speaker 4: Echocar at hospitals probably set you back at least two
Speaker 4: thousand dollars. So every scan of affordable imaging services comes
Speaker 4: with a board certified radiologist report that you and your
Speaker 4: doctor will both get within forty eight hours. There is
Speaker 4: no legitimate difference between the Equipment's the same kind of
Speaker 4: equipment hospitals use. It's just very low overhead. Don't expect
Speaker 4: bells and whistless. Just expect to get a proper scan
Speaker 4: and a proper imaging report. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 4: You have choice when it comes to your medical care.
Speaker 4: Your new out of pocket liability. It's a new calendar
Speaker 4: year folks, it's coming out of your pockets. Don't do
Speaker 4: that to yourselves. Five one three seven, five three eight thousand.

Speaker 4: It's always a pleasure to have you on my program.
Speaker 11: Always my pleasure to be here, Brian, look forward to
Speaker 11: it every week.
Speaker 4: Well, and I'm just kind of upset that you didn't
Speaker 4: bring up this first topic earlier because the article that
Speaker 4: you sent me that I read when you first sent
Speaker 4: it to me, Because thank you for the emails. I know,
Speaker 4: I don't always respond to my emails. I get it,
Speaker 4: just a ton of them every day. But spike in
Speaker 4: GF GPS spoofing attacks hits passenger planes, This is scary stuff.
Speaker 3: Dave Hatter h.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Brian, I could not agree with you more. I
Speaker 11: think it's pretty scary, and apparently it's been going on
Speaker 11: for a while. I don't know why it's taken so
Speaker 11: long to hit the mainstream press, because to your point,
Speaker 11: that oarticle is from back in August, I don't fly all,
Speaker 11: don't really like to fly, you know, I'll do it,
Speaker 11: don't really enjoy it. And when you read stories like this,
Speaker 11: it just makes you that much more concerned. I mean,
Speaker 11: before we get into the specifics of this. To me,
Speaker 11: this just is further reinforcement for something you and I
Speaker 11: have been talking about it for a long time, which
Speaker 11: is our society is increasingly digital and the infrastructure that
Speaker 11: makes it all work is really fragile. All this stuff
Speaker 11: was developed, you know, somewhere between the sixties and the eighties,
Speaker 11: when security wasn't a concern, privacy wasn't a concern, there
Speaker 11: was limited access to the technology that makes all of
Speaker 11: this stuff work. And then over time people are like, hey,
Speaker 11: this particular technology could do this cool thing, right, and
Speaker 11: then you know, it's sort of expanded it's feelers into
Speaker 11: more and more things. And I'm not talking about GPS specifically,
Speaker 11: I'm just saying in general, everything became digital. The Internet
Speaker 11: started to connect things, business processes that used to take
Speaker 11: place in the world on paper, et cetera. It became digital.
Speaker 11: And to me, this is just one more example where
Speaker 11: our whole infrastructure is very fragile. It's based on old
Speaker 11: technology again, where security was not a concern when this
Speaker 11: stuff was built, and now we're starting to see how
Speaker 11: that wasn't such a good plan. And when you look
Speaker 11: at this GPS thing. So I'm just going from this
Speaker 11: this article. You know, apparently there are numerous GPS spoofing attacks.
Speaker 11: It's easy to do because the GPS signal used for
Speaker 11: commercial purposes isn't encrypted. And I mean the real bottom
Speaker 11: line is, if I can have a GPS transmitter that's
Speaker 11: more powerful than the signal that's being sent down from
Speaker 11: the satellites, which frankly is very very low powered, I
Speaker 11: can basically override it and fool the GPS devices within
Speaker 11: that range into you know, having something that's not a
Speaker 11: correct reading, you know. Either this has been a problem
Speaker 11: for ships as well, apparently, and there's some speculation that
Speaker 11: some of these ships that have run aground or that
Speaker 11: big ship that got stuck in the Panama Canal may
Speaker 11: have had a you know, could have been a cyber attack.
Speaker 11: Maybe is this a cyber attack? I would argue it is.
Speaker 11: Is this a cyber attack that could cause that kind
Speaker 11: of thing?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 11: And when you look at the stats in here, right, So,
Speaker 11: according to this article surgeon GPS attacks highlighted in July
Speaker 11: of last year, significant spike and GPS spoofing over the
Speaker 11: last few months, with an increasing impact on flight safety.
Speaker 11: Number of flights effected has risen from an average of
Speaker 11: wait for it, two hundred daily in the period of
Speaker 11: January to March to around nine hundred daily. Nine hundred
Speaker 11: flights have been impacted by GPS spoofing in the second
Speaker 11: quarter of twenty twenty four, and they say on some
Speaker 11: days as many as thirteen hundred and fifty flights have
Speaker 11: encountered spoofing.
Speaker 4: And those numbers, yeah, you only imagine, have increased dramatically
Speaker 4: since August of twenty four, when that article is written.
Speaker 11: I would think so. I mean, you know, they go
Speaker 11: on to say this four hundred percent increasing GPS attacks
Speaker 11: relates to the wider GPS ecosystem itself front of than
Speaker 11: targeting specific aircraft. And you know, they mentioned that this
Speaker 11: is even more common around conflict zones where you know,
Speaker 11: places like in the Middle East and so forth. Sure,
Speaker 11: I agree with you, very scary, very scary. There's no
Speaker 11: simple fix for this because of the nature of the
Speaker 11: way this works, other than you know, we have to
Speaker 11: build systems that are secure by design. That's this is
Speaker 11: a cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency initiative which I fully support.
Speaker 11: We need software and systems that are designed to be
Speaker 11: secure from the beginning, not somewhere later. It's like, oh,
Speaker 11: you know, probably be a good idea if we build
Speaker 11: some security into this.
Speaker 1: Well, no kidding.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: Jay rale Off yesterday talking about the air traffic control
Speaker 4: systems like fifty years old or something like that, some
Speaker 4: of them still using those old giant floppy This not
Speaker 4: even the five and a quarter ones legacy systems that
Speaker 4: people don't even know how to use anymore, and that
Speaker 4: needs to be updated and everybody knows it needs to
Speaker 4: be updated. He said it would probably take like six
Speaker 4: years to get it updated if they finally got the
Speaker 4: allocation of fundings and started the initiative to do it
Speaker 4: in the first place. Can you imagine the GPS system?
Speaker 3: Jeez, Louise.
Speaker 4: Thanks, I'm really comfortable about flying, even more so than
Speaker 4: it was before you came on the program. There, Dave
Speaker 4: got to take a break at six thirty six, we'll
Speaker 4: bring you back to talk about well information found on

Speaker 4: Sixty one at thirty five KRC the talk station check
Speaker 4: Fright of a day, patter interest tact dot com. So
Speaker 4: it's not it's not Twitter, it's actually tender. It's a
Speaker 4: dating site, right, Dave, it.
Speaker 5: Is a dating site.
Speaker 11: Yes, Brian, I only know I'm married. I don't know
Speaker 11: and it's Valentine's Day? Have you Valentine's dari love you?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 11: It is a dating site.
Speaker 3: Okay, so what happened?
Speaker 11: Yeah, this is interesting but not surprising to me. So
Speaker 11: apparently a woman had a letter show up at her house,
Speaker 11: a handwritten letter from a guy that found her on tender.
Speaker 11: Apparently she was not interested in him. And I guess
Speaker 11: the way these dating sites work, as I've been told Brian,
Speaker 11: is that you know, you see a photo of someone
Speaker 11: and you like him, and you swipe left if you
Speaker 11: want to move on, and swipe right if you want to,
Speaker 11: you know, establish some sort of rapport with people, and
Speaker 11: you know, the first thing you have to understand is
Speaker 11: the sites work better the more information you put in
Speaker 11: about yourself, right, Yeah, they're trying to help you find
Speaker 11: people that might have similar interests, and the more information
Speaker 11: you put in about yourself, of course, the more likely
Speaker 11: you're going to find someone that would potentially be a match.
Speaker 11: But that's where the problem comes in, because whether it's
Speaker 11: just a straight up romance scam lots of those go
Speaker 11: on every day, or it's you know, enough information to
Speaker 11: help someone find you, like what happened in this case,
Speaker 11: the more information you put in about yourself, the more
Speaker 11: you put yourself at risk. And that's true with you know,
Speaker 11: any type of social media, whether it's a dating side
Speaker 11: or not. But in this case, apparently this woman got
Speaker 11: a letter because the guy wanted to meet her. She
Speaker 11: apparently was not interested in him, so he used the
Speaker 11: information that was available. And I suspect because I haven't
Speaker 11: seen any news reports where they talk to the guy.
Speaker 11: I think the police did go talk to the guy,
Speaker 11: and they didn't, you know, think he was harmful. He
Speaker 11: wasn't going to do anything illegal or anything like that.
Speaker 11: You know, he just decided to I guess to his credit,
Speaker 11: like hey, Okay, I'm gonna go outside tender and find
Speaker 11: this person and see if I can and you know,
Speaker 11: reach out and establish a relationship. Freaked her out. I
Speaker 11: could understand where it comes. Yeah, And I think it's
Speaker 11: because so many people think, okay, well there's privacy settings
Speaker 11: in these apps or whatever. And you know, Brian is
Speaker 11: a whole field in cybersecurity called ocent open source intelligence,
Speaker 11: and it's all about how can you use information? Sometimes
Speaker 11: you might have to go on the dark web to
Speaker 11: find it, but how can you use information that's available
Speaker 11: on the Internet to identify people, identify companies. I mean,
Speaker 11: you know, as a business and Intrust. We pay for
Speaker 11: sites like Seamless AI powerful tool for businesses. They use
Speaker 11: AI to find information. So, you know, if I'm looking
Speaker 11: to talk to your company to see if Intrust might
Speaker 11: be a good fit for you, I can type in
Speaker 11: your company name, I can type in the name of
Speaker 11: a person I think might work there, a plus a
Speaker 11: bunch of other stuff, and I would bet you, Brian,
Speaker 11: eighty to ninety percent of the time I get a
Speaker 11: valid phone number and email address out of that.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 11: But even if you don't want to pay company websites,
Speaker 11: other social media sites, Google searches, you know, and one
Speaker 11: of the questions I got asked about this, well, okay,
Speaker 11: if he just had a picture of this person and
Speaker 11: apparently she didn't have her full name in there, how
Speaker 11: could he find her? Well, okay, you could start with
Speaker 11: the reverse image search on Google and see if that
Speaker 11: profile photo shows up somewhere else. If it's if you
Speaker 11: have a location and they're like, I'm I live in Mason, Ohio.
Speaker 11: I'm a realtor. Okay, if your first name is Cindy
Speaker 11: and you're a realtor in Mason and there's a photo
Speaker 11: of you, I guarantee I can find you in less
Speaker 11: than ten minutes. Second day, Yeah, it wouldn't take long.
Speaker 11: So again, I don't think there's anything illegal here, But
Speaker 11: for folks who are thinking, hey, I'm using the privacy
Speaker 11: settings and you know, I want to be sort of
Speaker 11: semi anonymous, you need to think again. I'm not saying
Speaker 11: don't use these sites, but I also think this is
Speaker 11: a warning because not only can someone find you potentially,
Speaker 11: but the more information you put in there about you,
Speaker 11: if I am a con man, right, and whether it's
Speaker 11: what are you put in tender or once I find
Speaker 11: your Facebook profile or whatever, if I know a lot
Speaker 11: about you, like you happen to like Greater's Mint chocolate chip,
Speaker 11: and you like Skyline and et cetera, et cetera, suddenly
Speaker 11: i'm gonna, you know, if you'll start talking to me,
Speaker 11: I'm gonna seem like you're a dream person because I'm
Speaker 11: gonna know all the things you like. I'm gonna like
Speaker 11: all the same things quo and uh, you know it. So,
Speaker 11: whether it's a romance scam angle or it's a you
Speaker 11: could eventually be physically identified and located. These are things
Speaker 11: folks need to think about.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I can see some guys saying, oh, I was just
Speaker 4: he was watching television. I just had to have a
Speaker 4: bowl of Greater's Mint chocolate chip ice cream. Like, oh
Speaker 4: you like that too, Yep, yeah, I was. I was watching, Uh,
Speaker 4: I don't know, think the movie that she likes, her
Speaker 4: favorite movie, Like I was watching you know when when
Speaker 4: Harry met Sally over a bowl of you know, it's like,
Speaker 4: oh my god, Book dream Man.
Speaker 11: I was watching the watching The Notebook with my three cats.

Speaker 4: We got a lot to talk about with Todd in
Speaker 4: the meantime, Back to Tech Friday's Dave Hatter and thanks again,
Speaker 4: interest it dot com real estate scams.
Speaker 3: What's this one all about, Dave?
Speaker 11: Yeah, Brian, if I could real quick just to die
Speaker 11: divert for a second. Anyone's looking for a sales rep.
Speaker 11: My son Samuel's looking for a job, reach out to me.
Speaker 11: And also I'm going to be speaking at an event
Speaker 11: with the Circuit, which is a local tech org here
Speaker 11: in Cincinnati, about privacy laws in the US. So if
Speaker 11: you're a business, you are going to care about these
Speaker 11: privacy laws. They are they are coming for you no
Speaker 11: matter where you do business. February twenty sixth, eight thirty
Speaker 11: to ten. You can find it at the Circuit or
Speaker 11: just connect with me. Love to see you there. There's
Speaker 11: also another guy there coming from Dinsmore Shoal. So it
Speaker 11: should be a great event. And to me, Brian, this
Speaker 11: story is probably as terrifying or more terrifying than the
Speaker 11: GPS story. People are losing their entire life savings buying
Speaker 11: and selling houses, and it ties into and it's so
Speaker 11: hard to connect the dots on this stuff for people
Speaker 11: when people say, well, why do I care about security?
Speaker 11: I don't have anything to hide. I don't have anything
Speaker 11: we're stealing. So imagine you're going to close and you've
Speaker 11: got all your ducks in a row, you've bought a
Speaker 11: new house, you've sold your house, you're going to close,
Speaker 11: and suddenly you find out that that wire transfer you
Speaker 11: were requested to do as bogus and all your money stolen.
Speaker 11: Can you even afford the new house? If you're the
Speaker 11: seller of the previous house money didn't get to you
Speaker 11: because the new buyer had their money stolen. It's crazy,
Speaker 11: and this is happening a lot more regular than people realize.
Speaker 11: And it's usually because at some point in the chain,
Speaker 11: whether it's the mortgage company or the bank, they have
Speaker 11: what in the business would be known as an account takeover.
Speaker 11: And this is why you should care about your email accounts.
Speaker 11: People say, well, so what if they can read my email? Well,
Speaker 11: here's the so what I'm a criminal. I get in
Speaker 11: your email and I see it you're involved in a
Speaker 11: transaction like this. I set up a mail flow rule
Speaker 11: so that all of the email around this particular transaction
Speaker 11: or coming from a certain person, whatever, goes into a
Speaker 11: folder that you don't know is there. And now I
Speaker 11: am personate you. Oh and if I happen to know
Speaker 11: a lot about you, because there's all kinds of information
Speaker 11: about you leaked on the dark web, it's easy for
Speaker 11: me to impersonate you. And you know closings coming up
Speaker 11: four pm on Friday, bring a check. Oh wait, last
Speaker 11: minute change. The bank's going to need you to wire.
Speaker 11: This information here coming from a person you've been talking
Speaker 11: to because they're in that person's account, impersonating them?
Speaker 1: Does that make sense?
Speaker 11: Before I say anything else.
Speaker 3: These loes is sprite.
Speaker 11: Yeah. This is why it's so important that this basic
Speaker 11: cyber hygiene stuff you and I have been talking about
Speaker 11: for eleven years is so important. If you don't have
Speaker 11: strong unique passwords, if you don't use multi factor authentication
Speaker 11: or even better pass keys, or a product like Microsoft
Speaker 11: in Tune to protect your accounts, someone can get into
Speaker 11: these accounts figure out how to get to your money,
Speaker 11: whether it's sending out fraudulent invoices or it's injecting themselves
Speaker 11: in some kind of deal like this. And again, if
Speaker 11: you and I have been working together on the sale
Speaker 11: of a home because I'm your mortgage broker or whatever,
Speaker 11: you've been talking to me, You've been working with me,
Speaker 11: and at the last minute, you get an email from
Speaker 11: my legitimate account that's telling you something has changed. Don't
Speaker 11: bring a cashier's check, send the money here. Why wouldn't
Speaker 11: you do that?
Speaker 1: Jesus Uh.
Speaker 11: There's Local twelve had a story on this, and there's
Speaker 11: I encourage people. I'll put it in my show notes.
Speaker 11: There's a video of a guy who specializes in this.
Speaker 11: He started the company to try to stop this fraud.
Speaker 11: He has a very short but very impactful video explaining
Speaker 11: if you're a buyer or seller, the questions you should
Speaker 11: ask upfront and the things you should be prepared for,
Speaker 11: so when you get down to the wire, you would
Speaker 11: already have figured out like this is the way this
Speaker 11: transaction is going to go. And then if anything changes
Speaker 11: at all, you should be skeptical. You shouldn't just red flags.
Speaker 11: I strongly encourage everyone to go watch this guy's video again.
Speaker 11: You can find it from the Local twelve story. I'll
Speaker 11: link to it because he does a really great job
Speaker 11: of explaining this. That article does a good job explaining
Speaker 11: the risks and people losing hundreds of thousands of dollars
Speaker 11: that in some cases they get none of it back.
Speaker 11: And you know this can be stopped if you're aware
Speaker 11: and you know the right questions to ask, and then
Speaker 11: you know, go down to the wire with a super
Speaker 11: dosa skepticism. So yeah, it's.
Speaker 4: Well, that's my default mode anymore. And I just come
Speaker 4: up with new ways of spelling people every jetty. I know, well,
Speaker 4: guess what You've taught us all that and taught us well,
Speaker 4: Dave Hatter, and I've heeded your sage, wisdom and advice
Speaker 4: over the years. God bless you, and I think I
Speaker 4: can't thank you enough for coming on the program. You know,
Speaker 4: I don't know how many listeners are tuned in right now,
Speaker 4: but they're all so much more aware of this devastating reality.
Speaker 4: I mean, you could lose basically all of your life savings.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's how much houses cost these days. Anyway,
Speaker 4: thank you for everything you do, Dave Hatter. It's a
Speaker 4: pleasure having you on the show. Thanks again to interest It.
Speaker 4: Interest it dot com is where you find Dave and
Speaker 4: the crew for your commercial or your rather business computer needs.

Speaker 1: Covering Trump's first one hundred days.
Speaker 13: Every day we stand on the verge of the four
Speaker 13: greatest year in American history.
Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC the talk Station.
Speaker 1: This week, anything Trump does?
Speaker 3: I think he knows what we is doing every day.
Speaker 5: What do we have to you know?
Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC the Talk Station.
Speaker 4: Seven oh six fifty five ker Cite Talk Station. A
Speaker 4: very happy Friday, Slash Valentine's Dad, everybody. Brian Thomas always
Speaker 4: pleased to look across the studio table here and see
Speaker 4: Todd Zends their former Inspector General. He knows where the
Speaker 4: low hanging fruit is as well. Todd Senzer, Welcome back, man,
Speaker 4: It's great to have you in studio. You're brilliant, and
Speaker 4: you're very informative and you benefit every one of my
Speaker 4: listeners when you show up, that means a lot to me.
Speaker 4: Let's before we guy dive into and you can explain
Speaker 4: what Rising fifteen is and we'll deal with some local
Speaker 4: shenanigans and other things. We're just having this off air
Speaker 4: conversation about the Democrats just screaming their head off about
Speaker 4: the revelation of all this fraud, wasting abuse and the
Speaker 4: efforts to stop it.
Speaker 14: You know, Elon billionaire, Elon Musk, billionaire Elon Musk. It's like,
Speaker 14: wait a second, you're defending the literally indefensible in saying
Speaker 14: that these cuts shouldn't be made. I mean, they are
Speaker 14: showing that it's the low hanging fruit, the dumb, the stupid,
Speaker 14: the ridiculous, the waste.
Speaker 3: And I read this this.
Speaker 4: The editorial board point this so you want proof of
Speaker 4: government fraud. I had to read it because all of
Speaker 4: this information, all of the areas of fraud, wasting abuse
Speaker 4: previously identified under the Biden administration's people two hundred and
Speaker 4: thirty three to five hundred and twenty one billion annually
Speaker 4: in fraud from the Government Accountability Office last year, and
Speaker 4: then it just goes on and on on and on.
Speaker 4: People in the Biden administration identified this, and so that
Speaker 4: Elon Musk is now and Donald Trump are now doing
Speaker 4: something about previously identified areas of fraud, waste, and abuse,
Speaker 4: and now they're screaming about it as if it isn't real.
Speaker 13: Right. The interesting thing, Brian, is that the GAO, the
Speaker 13: Government Accountability Office, is actually an arm of Congress. So
Speaker 13: it's their own auditor. It's Congress's own auditor that's coming
Speaker 13: up with this. So members of Congress should not be
Speaker 13: complaining about what they're finding.
Speaker 3: You would think.
Speaker 4: That that Elon Musk is coming in and threatening to
Speaker 4: molest their children or something. I don't know how to
Speaker 4: frame it, but I just stand in awe and aghast,
Speaker 4: in a state of disbelief over the loud, screaming, angry
Speaker 4: cries of these elected officials, and I think, wait a second,
Speaker 4: you were elected. You have constituents. These constituents, presumably pert
Speaker 4: dissipated in work ergo, paid into the federal government via
Speaker 4: the income tax system and most notably separate line item
Speaker 4: social Security system, thinking at some point that they were
Speaker 4: going to reap the benefits of getting a social Security check.
Speaker 4: Elon Musk comes out and says, look, dead people are
Speaker 4: getting checks. People that aren't entitled to get Social Security
Speaker 4: checks are getting your money. CBOs identified for years the
Speaker 4: Social Security is painfully underwater, so everybody's at risk of
Speaker 4: not even getting it, and that's if it's a well oiled,
Speaker 4: non corrupt machine. But in response to him pointing this out,
Speaker 4: they scream and try about how he's taking your Social
Speaker 4: Security benefits away. How do they answer to their own
Speaker 4: constituents with something.
Speaker 13: Like that, Well, unfortunately, I think the constituents that they're
Speaker 13: worried about are the constituents that support them and make
Speaker 13: the most noise about Trump or not having enough money
Speaker 13: to do certain things. That those are the people they're
Speaker 13: listening to. They're listening to the people that have been
Speaker 13: feeding off the federal government for all.
Speaker 4: The Okay, in the follow up question, which I know
Speaker 4: the answer to because I asked it before we started,
Speaker 4: are there that many people out there getting this money
Speaker 4: in a form of recipients of no into the non
Speaker 4: government organizations or feeding at the trough of some ridiculous
Speaker 4: program paid for by the American taxpayer.
Speaker 13: Yes, there's there. There are those people and there are
Speaker 13: also people like members of the military industrial complex. God,
Speaker 13: all of these iron triangles that orbit the federal government.
Speaker 13: You've got that issue too, But you know that's alive
Speaker 13: and well. Here in Cincinnati, there are I don't know,
Speaker 13: forty or fifty different groups that the city funds on
Speaker 13: an annual basis with you know, fifty thousand here, two
Speaker 13: hundred thousand there, and it's i mean, there's a name
Speaker 13: for it, but it's it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah. You can't stay it on the air though, because
Speaker 3: that's the non compliant But.
Speaker 13: That's the way the system is right now, Charlie Foxtrot,
Speaker 13: not only in the United States but here locally as well.
Speaker 4: But if just using springing from your the framing of that,
Speaker 4: and I'm not disagreeing with your analysis or assessment of that,
Speaker 4: the City of Cincinnati doles out these dollars, is that
Speaker 4: coming from the city's general fund, which is fueled by
Speaker 4: Cincinnatians and the the the the income tax that they
Speaker 4: pay into the general fund.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's all coming out of there. It's all coming
Speaker 13: out of the city's general fund.
Speaker 4: So it's a city version of what the federal government
Speaker 4: is doing exactly. This problem is beyond systemic.
Speaker 13: Yes, it is.
Speaker 9: It is.
Speaker 4: You can feel free to make me better, Todd, I
Speaker 4: make me feel better about this.
Speaker 13: You're not, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: It's very What do you think.
Speaker 4: The landscape of the economy would look like if the
Speaker 4: plug just got pulled on all this extraneous and I
Speaker 4: will use the word crap because that's exactly the way
Speaker 4: I feel about it.
Speaker 13: Well, not only do you have to stop these programs,
Speaker 13: but you have to stop you have to stop funding
Speaker 13: them through taxes. If we didn't have all these programs,
Speaker 13: we wouldn't be paying all these taxes, and the economy
Speaker 13: would The economy would have the money instead of the
Speaker 13: federal government or the state.
Speaker 4: Government fuelling industry and business and goods and services that
Speaker 4: the economy thrives on because people actually want what they're providing.
Speaker 13: Exactly, it's more of the free market system that's been corrupted.
Speaker 4: You know, it breaks my heart to say this, but
Speaker 4: you know, looking at this landscape and the just absolute
Speaker 4: opposition to curbing this fraud, waste, and abuse, and the
Speaker 4: size of the national deficit and the debt service we're
Speaker 4: paying on it, you know deep down that it's going
Speaker 4: to require a collapse of the fiat currency in order
Speaker 4: to write the ship and to end this from happening,
Speaker 4: which basically is going to end the fiat currency. And
Speaker 4: I don't know how we're gonna be able to survive
Speaker 4: as a nation without the fiat currency.
Speaker 13: I mean, we're quickly racing to the bottom. We're going
Speaker 13: to crash here if these efforts of Dose and the
Speaker 13: President aren't successful.
Speaker 4: Well, and you know, my mom will make this comment
Speaker 4: from time to time. God bless you, Mom. You know
Speaker 4: I love you to death. Eighty five years old. And
Speaker 4: she's like, basically of the mindset, and so many people are, well,
Speaker 4: it looks like that's something bad's gonna happen, but least
Speaker 4: I won't be around when it does. Is that kind
Speaker 4: of the mindset of our elected officials? I mean, somebody
Speaker 4: like Nancy Pelosi, whos about one hundred and sixty five
Speaker 4: years old anyway, or Mitch McConnell, they're going to die
Speaker 4: before it hits the fans, so they don't have any
Speaker 4: feeling like they have any obligation to do anything to
Speaker 4: write the ship.
Speaker 13: Yeah. Well, these some of these members who are senior,
Speaker 13: like Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi, they just can't give
Speaker 13: up power. And that's that's what that's what it's all about.
Speaker 13: These these elected officials want to retain their their power.
Speaker 3: Is that's like a DSM five diagnosable illness.
Speaker 13: I would agree with you.
Speaker 4: I mean, you're eighty five years old now. Not to
Speaker 4: use my mom's age, I don't know how old Mitch
Speaker 4: McConnell is, but you know, let's face, he's old.
Speaker 13: He's close.
Speaker 4: Don't you think with the millions and millions of millions
Speaker 4: of dollars in value that you are worth literally sitting
Speaker 4: on cash, sitting on home property, you've got it all made.
Speaker 4: You only have a few more years in the normal lifespan.
Speaker 4: Why don't you just drop it and go and enjoy yourself,
Speaker 4: play golf, or play with your grandkids or great grandkids
Speaker 4: or something like, why do you need to keep this office? Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's kind of sad, isn't It's it's pathetically sad, it's embarrassing.
Speaker 13: Well, the voters have something to do with that also.
Speaker 4: Well, no, I know it's easy to say that out
Speaker 4: loud when we have to, you know, sort of look
Speaker 4: at the mirror and ourselves and decide, Wait a minute, jeez,
Speaker 4: that's right. I did vote to keep that guy in office,
Speaker 4: right right. Paint a pretty dreary picture here this morning,
Speaker 4: but it's reality. Light has to be shed on it.
Speaker 4: I thank god that Elon Musk at least has the
Speaker 4: ability to shed light on it. I'm sorry, billionaire Elon Musk.
Speaker 4: God remember to put that in there. From now and
Speaker 4: apparently the rules have been issued so we can sort
Speaker 4: of semi wage the class warfare while the guy who
Speaker 4: doesn't even own big house or even stuff and things
Speaker 4: and is willing to do all of this work and
Speaker 4: identify fraud, waste abuse for free, doing good things because
Speaker 4: he wants America to survive. Go ahead, scream about him,

Speaker 4: KRCD Talk Station by Thomas Always please Tuk Todds in
Speaker 4: their former Inspector General. He's got his fingers on the
Speaker 4: pulse of all the crazy stuff that's going on in
Speaker 4: the world. And let us pivot over to local crazy,
Speaker 4: moving away from federal level crazy. You kind of alluded
Speaker 4: to it earlier. We talked about Cincinnati doling out money
Speaker 4: to NGOs, and you know all the organizations that are
Speaker 4: supported by that, which are the ones that's screaming yell
Speaker 4: every time someone tries to fare it out froud waste
Speaker 4: and abuse. But rising fifteen. Remind my listeners about this
Speaker 4: because I seem to recall reading an article or talking
Speaker 4: about a little bit in the morning show maybe when
Speaker 4: you were here. This is about the fifteen quote unquote
Speaker 4: underserved neighborhoods within the City of Cincinnati.
Speaker 13: Yes, there are three members of city Council who have
Speaker 13: identified fifteen neighborhoods that have been underserved. It's not clear
Speaker 13: whether that's historically or current or both. And they entered
Speaker 13: a motion back in October of twenty three to set
Speaker 13: up two special funds for these neighborhoods. And remember that
Speaker 13: in October of twenty three is when we were campaigning
Speaker 13: for and against the sale of the railway. Yeah, this
Speaker 13: is all geared towards letting constituents know that they're going
Speaker 13: to get a piece of the railway money. So this
Speaker 13: motion set up a special two special funds for these neighborhoods,
Speaker 13: what they called a railroad fund and what they called
Speaker 13: an economic development fund. And the idea back then as
Speaker 13: it is now, is to take ten percent of the
Speaker 13: proceeds from the railway sale that the city is given
Speaker 13: every year by the Railway Trust Board and put it
Speaker 13: into this railroad fund and let that accumulate. And it
Speaker 13: also establishes a seven member advisory board that basically controls
Speaker 13: that money.
Speaker 4: So we have an advisory board that controls the railroad money,
Speaker 4: and they take the interest generated off the principle, ten
Speaker 4: percent of which goes into a separate fund which is
Speaker 4: managed and organized by a complete the separate entity, let
Speaker 4: me guess who are appointed by the mayor.
Speaker 13: Yeah it's.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, huh so okay, now wait all right, let's
Speaker 4: follow the money here. Okay, let's just say that happens.
Speaker 4: I guess, definitionly speaking, do we even know what underserved is.
Speaker 13: No, And that's one of the problems these fifteen neighborhoods.
Speaker 13: The motion has an exhibit attached that they say is
Speaker 13: the demographic and socioeconomic data that they use to identify
Speaker 13: these fifteen neighborhoods. That exhibit wasn't attached to the motion
Speaker 13: when they filed it with When they filed it with
Speaker 13: the council last week, I had to go down to
Speaker 13: the clerk's office to get a copy of the exhibit.
Speaker 13: It's basically one page, and the socioeconomic and demographic data
Speaker 13: includes the population of the neighborhood, the racial makeup of
Speaker 13: the neighborhood, and the median income of the neighborhood. That's it.
Speaker 13: Nothing about unemployment levels, nothing about education levels, nothing about crime,
Speaker 13: nothing about blight, just race and income.
Speaker 4: That's Todd founding his hand in emphasis about what he's
Speaker 4: talking about. I had a listener complain to me because
Speaker 4: when I moved my boom mic, it's a little squeak
Speaker 4: to it. He said, it drives me crazy. So I've
Speaker 4: been trying never to touch my mic. I just want
Speaker 4: to let him specifically know it was you being making
Speaker 4: a strong point. I don't have a problem with the
Speaker 4: Todd trust me. I just want to let listeners know
Speaker 4: that I was aware of it. But movie back, Okay, fine,
Speaker 4: you got you've identified these neighborhoods. Let's just say and
Speaker 4: we say, find that the demographic and identified information. And
Speaker 4: we haven't talked about the source of who gathered that.
Speaker 4: I don't know where that came from. Was it identified
Speaker 4: on the document? So we have no idea who compiled it.
Speaker 4: How will these funds be used to transform and underserved
Speaker 4: neighborhood into a served neighborhood.
Speaker 13: Well, that's that's to be seen. This advisory group that
Speaker 13: the Emotion would set up, I guess, is supposed to
Speaker 13: come up with a plan for spending this money.
Speaker 4: But is the argument now? Let's let's move over to
Speaker 4: the foundation for the sale of the railroad, which is
Speaker 4: to use the interest generated by the principle to work
Speaker 4: on previously existing projects.
Speaker 3: Right, and a.
Speaker 4: Previously just in project in this particular case is the
Speaker 4: mere existence of a neighborhood that they have called underserved.
Speaker 13: Well that's hard to say because what the what the
Speaker 13: motion also does or what they try to do, is
Speaker 13: is swap money. In fact, yeah, the Vice Mayor actually
Speaker 13: use that term a money swap where oh, they're not
Speaker 13: going to use railway money. They're gonna take an equivalent
Speaker 13: amount of the railway money out of the general General
Speaker 13: Fund and put it in it in their special railroad.
Speaker 4: Fun demonstrating as I always like to demonstrate the fungibility
Speaker 4: of money. Oh you're not kidding, what a bait and
Speaker 4: switch we're all gonna use for existing infrastructure. So it's
Speaker 4: okay to sell the railroad. It'll free up all these funds.
Speaker 4: We can get some projects done, okay, and then that
Speaker 4: will free up money that should have come from the
Speaker 4: General General Fund and allow it to be used for
Speaker 4: other brand new stuff and things.
Speaker 13: Right, well, we we said after the sale was approved
Speaker 13: by the voters, we made several recommendations on how to
Speaker 13: strengthen oversight, and one of them was to establish a floor,
Speaker 13: a spending floor that you're going to spend X number
Speaker 13: of dollars on infrastructure, and then whatever comes in from
Speaker 13: the railway goes on top of that. That's how we're
Speaker 13: going to be spending more on infrastructure. Instead, they want
Speaker 13: to take the existing level of funding, take that away
Speaker 13: from infrastructure and use it for all these other things,
Speaker 13: new stuff and things not even infrastructure things.
Speaker 4: I know, yeah, you know, and everybody knows which road
Speaker 4: is floating around the back of my mind Sunset, which
Speaker 4: has still like this landmine looks like a war zone
Speaker 4: from Ukraine or Gaza strip.
Speaker 13: I went down there yesterday, Brian. It's even more so.
Speaker 3: I know, listen, that's why it's my favorite illustration.
Speaker 13: It's got a lot of potholes.
Speaker 4: That's the way I take when I go over to
Speaker 4: like Price sal Chili for listener lunch, or you know,
Speaker 4: maybe Chandlers over on the west side, and it's like,
Speaker 4: God bless it. I should come up with an alternative route,
Speaker 4: cause again it looks like something out of Gaza. Stick
Speaker 4: around more with former Inspector General Todd Zenzer. I think
Speaker 4: we have some more things to unpack on this too,
Speaker 4: so we'll continue. It's seven twenty six right now. I

Speaker 1: the talk.
Speaker 4: Station fifty five KRCIT the talk station Brian Thomas with
Speaker 4: former Inspector General Todd Zenzer in studio. We're trying to
Speaker 4: unpack this rising fifteen and uh Shenanigan's declaration, at least
Speaker 4: from my perspective, certainly just Trekker's perspective. All right, Todd,
Speaker 4: real quick care. Let's sum it up. They take ten
Speaker 4: percent of the of the interest earned off the railroad
Speaker 4: investment they put into a separate account. They have a
Speaker 4: new independent seven member board that is going to allocate
Speaker 4: that money, and really big question mark how long it's
Speaker 4: going to be in that fund. I guess it's an
Speaker 4: annual expenditure of ten percent. Every year, ten percent of
Speaker 4: the railroad money goes into this fund.
Speaker 13: That's my understanding.
Speaker 4: Okay, And whoever these members are, we don't know. They're
Speaker 4: not elected officials, are they.
Speaker 13: No, they're not.
Speaker 4: Huh, Well, let's just scream that out loud over and
Speaker 4: over again. So seven unelected officials are going to have
Speaker 4: complete control and say over how this money gets allocated
Speaker 4: or spent on any given project in these fifteen quote
Speaker 4: unquote underserved communities.
Speaker 13: Well, technically they're going to make a recommendation to council,
Speaker 13: but if the council sets up this advisory board to
Speaker 13: tell them, you know how exactly?
Speaker 4: Now, you were in council on a Wednesday speaking on
Speaker 4: an opposition against this. Yes, I was what arguments did
Speaker 4: you make to them? And how were your arguments received?
Speaker 13: Well, the thing about claiming you're two minutes to the
Speaker 13: city council is they don't respond to you.
Speaker 3: They really sit there and play on their phones.
Speaker 13: Yes, so I made I made four points and then
Speaker 13: I asked that they withdraw the motion. The first one
Speaker 13: I said is that this thing is drenched in politics.
Speaker 13: It came about during the campaign regarding the railway sale.
Speaker 13: It was I said, it was political. Then it was
Speaker 13: drenched in politics.
Speaker 3: Now WCPO referred to it as reparations. Yes they did.
Speaker 3: I mean that was in their reporting on it.
Speaker 13: That was back in October twenty three. Yes, it was,
Speaker 13: and if you read the motion, you'll get an understanding
Speaker 13: of why they said that.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, did your I mean, I know you
Speaker 4: see your comments are ignored like most people, but generally speaking,
Speaker 4: I mean, is there concern among council members about going
Speaker 4: forward and moving forward with this, about the repercussions that
Speaker 4: they might get.
Speaker 13: Well, I did send an email to the mayor and
Speaker 13: the council members and the city manager with these points,
Speaker 13: and I got one response from a council member, Jeffries,
Speaker 13: and he pretty much agrees with us with my concerns.
Speaker 13: So that was one member that I got some feedback from.
Speaker 13: But I haven't heard anything from any of the other members.
Speaker 4: What of the railroad board don't they have say over this?
Speaker 13: Well, that is a great that is a great question, Brian,
Speaker 13: and I actually the Railway Board met this past week. Also.
Speaker 13: They met on two Tuesday afternoon, and I went there
Speaker 13: to make a couple of points about a different issue,
Speaker 13: and I thought the meeting was encouraging. I didn't. They
Speaker 13: are putting up a new website where they are going
Speaker 13: to require information from the city about what projects are underway,
Speaker 13: how much money is being used, and what the status
Speaker 13: of those projects are. That's news to me because during
Speaker 13: the campaign I got the impression that they really weren't
Speaker 13: going to be too involved in how the money was spent.
Speaker 13: So from my perspective anyway, that was a positive development.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, that's the kind of transparency we deserve. Absolutely, if
Speaker 4: you want to know where the money's being spent, they
Speaker 4: will let you know. It's right there on the site.
Speaker 4: I think that's an absolutely fabulous idea, and I'm actually shocked.
Speaker 3: That it's happening.
Speaker 4: I was very encouraged by they have a fiduciary obligation
Speaker 4: to monitor those dollars.
Speaker 13: Well, that's my argument. I mean, I used the story
Speaker 13: about when I was at the Transportation Inspector General's office,
Speaker 13: we had the Federal Transit Administration under our purview, and
Speaker 13: my boss used to call them a religious organization because
Speaker 13: they would throw billions of dollars out the door and
Speaker 13: just pray that it was properly used. That's not the
Speaker 13: way to go. If you're giving money out, you did
Speaker 13: to make sure that it is used for the purpose
Speaker 13: that you that you dispersed it.
Speaker 4: So, going back to our conversation at the outset of
Speaker 4: the program, literally everyment government.
Speaker 3: Entity is doing this kind of thing.
Speaker 4: Yes, throwing money out the door and never paying attention
Speaker 4: to see what it's done out in the world, how
Speaker 4: much people are making off of the allocation, who's benefiting
Speaker 4: from it, or more fundamentally, if that allocation if deemed
Speaker 4: appropriate's why the money went out the door. Actually does
Speaker 4: anything right?
Speaker 13: Well, some agencies that give out money grant make grants
Speaker 13: and things like that. Some do a better job at
Speaker 13: overseeing what happens than others, but they got a long
Speaker 13: way to go.
Speaker 4: Well, Brent Todsen's er back, He's in studio for the
Speaker 4: full hour. This is just very informative and I can't
Speaker 4: thank you enough, you know, for showing up at these
Speaker 4: meetings on behalf of the taxpayers, for providing your useful
Speaker 4: insight and giving them I think a more informed opinion
Speaker 4: about the legality of this, how it's gonna work, and
Speaker 4: bringing to their attention that this could be a source
Speaker 4: of uh maybe fraud, waste and abuse. Seven thirty six

Speaker 4: best chair side manner of any dentist out there. So
Speaker 4: if you one of those folks that don't like going
Speaker 4: to the dentist, you are gonna love doctor Meghan Frue.
Speaker 4: Not to discount Fred Pack, She's a lot easier on
Speaker 4: the eyes. Doctor Peck, you know, I love you, man.
Speaker 4: But as far as Peck is concerned. A fellow with

Speaker 12: five KRC, the talk station.
Speaker 4: Seven one here fifty five KRC, the talk station, Happy Friday,
Speaker 4: Happy Valentine's Day, and an enlightening morning show. Since Todd
Speaker 4: Zinsers and Studio Form Inspector General telling us all about
Speaker 4: this rising fifteen and it is a motion, it has
Speaker 4: not been passed yet. Correct. That's correct, all right. So
Speaker 4: I'm not going to restate what the parameters are for this.
Speaker 4: Bottom line is railroad money going into a separate fund
Speaker 4: to be allocated among fifteen communities. Now, I know you've
Speaker 4: done a couple of podcasts on this on YouTube. You
Speaker 4: have a YouTube channel which is called citizens watch Citizen
Speaker 4: Watchdog with Todd Zenzer. Yes, and you've done two full
Speaker 4: programs on this alone.
Speaker 13: Yes.
Speaker 4: Now, obviously you filled up a lot of time on
Speaker 4: your program on YouTube again, Citizen Watchdog with Todd Zenzer.
Speaker 4: You mentioned to me off air something that has passed,
Speaker 4: which is the city in City on Track Plan, the
Speaker 4: City on Track Plan. Now doesn't that already deal with
Speaker 4: the allocation of railroad fund money.
Speaker 13: Yes, that was the whole point of the plan.
Speaker 4: So this would interfere with a previously passed proposal for
Speaker 4: spending the money.
Speaker 13: Yes, I think it really confuses things. Remember that the
Speaker 13: campaign to sell the railway started with this idea that
Speaker 13: there's four hundred million dollars of deferred maintenance that the
Speaker 13: city is grappling with, and the plan was to sell
Speaker 13: the railway and start attacking that deferred maintenance. So they
Speaker 13: came up with a City on Track plan, and it
Speaker 13: broke it down into different areas parks and recreation, roads
Speaker 13: and bridges, you know, et cetera. And then it distributed
Speaker 13: those funds across those subjects and across the neighborhoods where
Speaker 13: deferred maintenance has been identified. I don't know why they
Speaker 13: just don't look at that plan and see what projects
Speaker 13: exist within those fifteen neighborhoods and make those a priority.
Speaker 4: I think I suspect the reason why. It's because fixing
Speaker 4: a road in a neighborhood, or fixing an existing piece
Speaker 4: of infrastructure that they own and therefore have an obligation
Speaker 4: to maintain, does not change anything on that slip that
Speaker 4: was not posted with this recent motion, you identifying neighborhoods
Speaker 4: with income disparities. That's right, because a fixed road does
Speaker 4: not change the income disparity.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 13: What I liked working for the Transportation Department is that
Speaker 13: roads and bridges and infrastructure should not be political. It's
Speaker 13: all they own. It's all about public safety and economic
Speaker 13: development and things like that. That's why you need infrastructure well.
Speaker 4: And I also retract part of my conclusion on that
Speaker 4: because maybe I'm pin with a bit of a broad
Speaker 4: brush because these broken windows that you know, if you
Speaker 4: have a neighborhood with a bunch of broken windows, people
Speaker 4: think it's, oh, my god, is a terrible neighborhood. They
Speaker 4: don't want to invest in it, they don't want to
Speaker 4: move into it. Fix the windows, fix the streets, fix
Speaker 4: the roads, and it may inject much needed capital, jobs
Speaker 4: and possibilities for people that are there.
Speaker 13: Yeah. Well, the people in a neighborhood support the whole
Speaker 13: broken windows thing, at least in many of the neighborhoods.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and why wouldn't you?
Speaker 13: Absolutely?
Speaker 4: I mean, if it reduces crime and statistically it's proven
Speaker 4: to do that, then yes, embrace it. It's like I
Speaker 4: want police in my neighborhood because it is well I
Speaker 4: determined to bad guys hanging out in the corner.
Speaker 3: And selling drugs. Yes.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Wow, I'll remind my listeners Citizen Watchdog with Todd Zenzer.
Speaker 4: Just pop it into your search engine and YouTube or
Speaker 4: pop it out of the YouTube search engine. You'll find
Speaker 4: it and subscribe to his channel and regularly watch it
Speaker 4: because he's Todd has got brilliance and beyond just this
Speaker 4: one topic, which we will continue to dive on into
Speaker 4: identifying some of the other areas that we need to
Speaker 4: watch out or in the next segment, segment one More

Speaker 4: make you've got. And it's so much more than just carrier.
Speaker 4: They sert Like I said, they service every every model
Speaker 4: and make. But you know they have geothermal and they've
Speaker 4: got it's the space pack kind of systems. And so
Speaker 4: for all your HVAC needs. Oh and then the maintenance
Speaker 4: programs too, and I recommend you consider one of those

Speaker 4: on their wives?
Speaker 13: Yes, absolutely, God.
Speaker 4: And you know I'm talking to you. You're out there listening.
Speaker 4: You beat up your wife? Why do you do that?
Speaker 3: Anyway?
Speaker 4: Citizen Watchdog with Todd Zinzer on YouTube, Todd and Pivotinggel
Speaker 4: back to what else anything else we need to know
Speaker 4: by way of exclamation points on all the reasons why
Speaker 4: this rising fifteen sounds so unbelievably right for corruption. If
Speaker 4: I can just boil it down to that conclusion.
Speaker 13: Yeah, the this motion was put forward on the on
Speaker 13: February five at the February fifth meeting, and during that meeting,
Speaker 13: the Vice Mayor said the quiet part out loud. She
Speaker 13: told the council. We promised this during the campaign. Well,
Speaker 13: she may have promised it to certain constituencies, but that
Speaker 13: wasn't the promise that all the voters received. All the
Speaker 13: promise that we received is that this money would be
Speaker 13: spent on existing infrastructure to attack the four hundred million
Speaker 13: dollars worth of deferred maintenance.
Speaker 3: You don't know to whom this promise was made.
Speaker 4: It was not a campaign out on the road, campaign,
Speaker 4: out loud pledge that maybe Sharon Coolidge from the enquire
Speaker 4: could have reported on or something like that. Well, yes,
Speaker 4: does this sounds suspiciously like pg Sittenfeld. Well, if you
Speaker 4: elect me, or you give funds to me for my campaign,
Speaker 4: then I will give you this this this Rising fifteen program.
Speaker 13: Yeah. Well, I would think that she made the promise
Speaker 13: to the movers and shakers in those fifteen neighborhoods. But
Speaker 13: I think there I think it's probably narrowed down to
Speaker 13: even fewer neighborhoods in the fifteen that they were making
Speaker 13: promises to. But we don't really know exactly who, huh.
Speaker 13: But I think there were individuals that were made promises.
Speaker 4: Like you'll be on the board if we get this through,
Speaker 4: if you get me elected, we established this Rising fifteen program.
Speaker 4: We're gonna let you control the money.
Speaker 13: Well, yeah, along those promises, along those lines, absolutely.
Speaker 4: Maybe someone in law enforcement could look into that, because
Speaker 4: again I'm just thinking of PG sitting Feld, who recently
Speaker 4: was in the news since you lost this appeal.
Speaker 13: You know, on PG, the thing that I've always wondered
Speaker 13: is why were they doing business in a hotel room.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a red flag.
Speaker 13: That's absolutely a red flag.
Speaker 4: So most people, if your quote unquote doctor is scheduling
Speaker 4: surgery at a motel six, then you've got a real
Speaker 4: problem on your hands for that plastic surgery that you want. Yeah, Todd,
Speaker 4: I'm not sure how to unpackage this any further than
Speaker 4: we have unless there's other details that you want to
Speaker 4: just put exclamation points on the subject matter.
Speaker 13: Well, again, I think people need to understand what the
Speaker 13: statuses of these funds. The trust fund has actually grown
Speaker 13: by almost one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 4: Well, the market's been doing really well. Yes, if it
Speaker 4: hadn't grown by that much, then you have to worry
Speaker 4: about it being mismanaged.
Speaker 13: Right, So, yeah, it's not that great of a return.
Speaker 13: It's like five point five or something. Percent.
Speaker 4: So it's consistent with like S and P. Five hundred
Speaker 4: kind of growth.
Speaker 13: Yes, And in September of twenty four this is the
Speaker 13: way the law is written. For some reason, the trust
Speaker 13: Fund board decided to spend or send fifty six million
Speaker 13: dollars to the city. But they get that on July
Speaker 13: the first, and they get it in four tranches July
Speaker 13: every quarter. So my argument to the board was that
Speaker 13: I hope they gauged the city's ability to spend that money,
Speaker 13: so that if you give them twenty five percent of
Speaker 13: that on July one, you need to find out on
Speaker 13: October one whether they've even used it, whether they've spent it,
Speaker 13: because if they're not spending it, the trust fund should
Speaker 13: keep it and let it earn more money.
Speaker 3: Amen.
Speaker 13: So, like I said at the meeting at the Railway
Speaker 13: Trust Board, I was encouraged. I think I don't think
Speaker 13: we're that far apart in terms of considering that.
Speaker 4: Well, if someone can ray if there is some legal
Speaker 4: objection to this, you know, it's not consistent with the
Speaker 4: nature of the fund, the purpose of the fund. It
Speaker 4: would be a violation of our produciary duties to let
Speaker 4: ten percent of this money come out and go really
Speaker 4: anywhere other than existing infrastructure. They the board would be
Speaker 4: the ones to raise that type of challenge if it
Speaker 4: could be raised.
Speaker 13: Well, I wish they would, but it's really not clear
Speaker 13: how directly involved they're going to get like that. I
Speaker 13: think they're just want to turn on and off to
Speaker 13: spict of money and then disclose to the public of
Speaker 13: what's happening with that money. I think they're going to
Speaker 13: leave it up to other parties to really well.
Speaker 4: I would think that they have a larger role than
Speaker 4: that in this entire Todd, I would love I would
Speaker 4: love that.
Speaker 13: I recommended that they appoint a compliance officer that looks
Speaker 13: at the board's compliance as well as the city's compliance
Speaker 13: with the law. I recommended that back in November of
Speaker 13: twenty three. I don't think they're going to go that far,
Speaker 13: but that's what I would do.
Speaker 4: I nominate former Inspector General Todd Senser for that position.
Speaker 4: Anybody out there want to second that motion. Todd, thank
Speaker 4: you so much for coming in studio. Had no idea
Speaker 4: about this or the details of it, and you're the
Speaker 4: one that's got the era, like I said, hand on
Speaker 4: the pulse of what's going on in the city of Cincinnati,
Speaker 4: and I can't thank you enough. And I know the
Speaker 4: listeners appreciate what you're doing, and certainly I would like
Speaker 4: to think the residents of the city of Cincinnati do
Speaker 4: as well. We'll have you on back again real soon.
Speaker 4: Todd seven fifty five come up with some fifty six
Speaker 4: George Brunneman from Restore Liberty dot Us. We're going to
Speaker 4: talk with him about health restore Wellness. That's his initiative
Speaker 4: he's got going on now, perfect timing for that. They'd
Speaker 4: have an event he wants to tell you about coming
Speaker 4: up on the twenty six as well. So stick around
Speaker 4: with me right back after the news.
Speaker 1: Covering Trump's first one hundred days.
Speaker 5: Every day America's deadline is over fifty five krs the
Speaker 5: talk station.
Speaker 15: This report is sponsored by All State. Some people just
Speaker 15: know you could save money on and.
Speaker 1: Reactions roll in.
Speaker 9: People are going to lose their freaking mind.
Speaker 7: The big story of the week fifty five KRC the
Speaker 7: talk station.
Speaker 4: Eight oh five on a Friday, and a Happy one
Speaker 4: tea as well as Happy Valentine's Day. Brian Thomas want
Speaker 4: to point out at the bottom of the hour, it's
Speaker 4: going to be a great conversation with the author Mary
Speaker 4: and Ben's the name of the book, You Were Still Dancing.
Speaker 4: It's about her subtitled Unforgettable Journey through Alzheimer's. Both her
Speaker 4: grandmother and her mother struggle with it. But it is emotional,
Speaker 4: sometimes sad, but also extremely uplifting book explaining how she
Speaker 4: dealt with and dealt with the challenges associated with Alzheimer's,
Speaker 4: which I know my mom more than anybody, is painfully
Speaker 4: aware of that, as our everyone of my family. Without
Speaker 4: further ado, that'll be the bottom of the hour eight
Speaker 4: thirty the meantime, George Brennman from Restoreliberty dot Us check
Speaker 4: it out.
Speaker 3: Welcome back, my friend. It's always good to talk with you.
Speaker 2: How you been, Hey, great, Brian, thanks for having me,
Speaker 2: and thanks for reminding me it's Valentine's Day.
Speaker 4: You give all to pay if you forgot it. It's
Speaker 4: the anniversary of my engagement thirty three years ago, so
Speaker 4: oh wow, extra special dish my wife and me. But no,
Speaker 4: she won't be getting flowers. My wife is a very
Speaker 4: frugal woman and she doesn't have expectations like that for me,
Speaker 4: which is good because it frees me of the obligation
Speaker 4: to have to remember to go out and do it.
Speaker 4: She's listening right now, so I'm not saying out loud
Speaker 4: anythings she doesn't know already. Anyway, you want to start
Speaker 4: with the Restora Liberty dot Us event at the farm
Speaker 4: because I have your website up right now and I
Speaker 4: know you have a meeting coming up.
Speaker 2: Yes, this is actually a really great opportunity for everybody.
Speaker 2: So we're teaming up again with Americans for Prosperity. Oh great,
Speaker 2: they're big push right now. Now is something called protect Prosperity.
Speaker 2: So the idea is the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
Speaker 2: that was in effect from twenty eighteen that Trump passed.
Speaker 2: And you keep hearing that it's tax cuts for the rich.
Speaker 2: But I'll know some insight on that in a sec
Speaker 2: But they want to make that permanent, and I think
Speaker 2: that's a fantastic idea. So the meeting is going to
Speaker 2: be focused on getting people to sign petitions and to
Speaker 2: take action, to call Congress and basically say, hey, let's
Speaker 2: make this tax cuts permanent, not you know, another four
Speaker 2: years so that we have to go through this nonsense again.
Speaker 2: Let's make them permanent. And in return, AF He's going
Speaker 2: to buy your dinner. Oh wow, you get some free
Speaker 2: farm food at it, so oh Man, February twenty six Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a great deal.
Speaker 4: It is the Farm, a West Side institution. If you've
Speaker 4: ever been there, I understand they have some outstanding chicken.
Speaker 4: I've been to quite a few wedding receptions there the
Speaker 4: old west Side keg and pretzels and chips, wedding wet receptions. Anyway,
Speaker 4: fond memories of the farm. So the Farm on the
Speaker 4: twenty sixth, doors open at five point thirty free food.
Speaker 4: Thank you to Americans for prosperity. I talked to Donovan
Speaker 4: and Eil earlier in the week about the Rains Act,
Speaker 4: which we're trying to push through here in Ohio because
Speaker 4: every state needs a Rains Act as well as we
Speaker 4: need one on the federal government level. You're familiar with
Speaker 4: that effort in Ohio.
Speaker 2: Tell me again what it is. I know, I am,
Speaker 2: but I can't remember the.
Speaker 4: Acronym any I can't remember what it stands for. But
Speaker 4: any regulation created by a regular Tory body pursuing to
Speaker 4: some law that's passed that has a financial impact of
Speaker 4: more than a million dollars needs to be specifically approved
Speaker 4: by the legislative branch. It's a way of honing in
Speaker 4: the runaway administrative state.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I remember that. Yeah, definitely. So Donovan's going
Speaker 2: to be there. He's going to be our host for
Speaker 2: the or just for the podcast. I was just talking
Speaker 2: to Joe before game on that we're probably going to
Speaker 2: record it in advance and play it live at the
Speaker 2: at the meeting while people were eating, so we don't
Speaker 2: have to deal with the noise behind, but they still
Speaker 2: get to see the podcast. So we'll be talking to
Speaker 2: Donovan about that. You know, at the federal level, they're
Speaker 2: concentrating on this Tax Cuts Act, making it permanent. At
Speaker 2: the state level, they're working on the you know, effort
Speaker 2: to get rid of the income tax, and of course
Speaker 2: my push is always, before you get rid of that,
Speaker 2: let's get rid of the property tax, because at least
Speaker 2: income tax is a percentage of what you've got coming in,
Speaker 2: whereas a property tax is a percentage is something you've
Speaker 2: never seen. It's unrealized gains, it is. And now that
Speaker 2: I am on a fixed income, it's like, holy cow,
Speaker 2: every time they raise property taxes, I'm less likely to
Speaker 2: be able to afford my house.
Speaker 4: You know, crazy, I think of my conversation with Breitbart's
Speaker 4: Joe Pollock from earlier in the week. He actually lives
Speaker 4: in Pacific Palisades where the wildfires raised in California, and
Speaker 4: he made an interesting point because he says, I'm sick
Speaker 4: of hearing that it's just a bunch of these wealthy
Speaker 4: millionaires that live there. He said, there have been people
Speaker 4: that living there for decades. When they got their house,
Speaker 4: they probably paid like forty or fifty grand for it,
Speaker 4: and then it's now worth three and a half million
Speaker 4: dollars simply by virtue of the real estate that is
Speaker 4: sitting on. They can't afford to rebuild that, they can't
Speaker 4: afford to, you know, buy what they were previously living in.
Speaker 4: A lot of people on fixed incomes, a lot of
Speaker 4: seniors there, a lot of people's lives just been completely devastated.
Speaker 4: But that's the same effect these property tax increases have.
Speaker 4: You know, you buy your house twenty thirty years ago,
Speaker 4: you paid one hundred grand for it, and then the
Speaker 4: assessor comes in and said, oh, by the way, since
Speaker 4: COVID and the real estate shortage is now worth like
Speaker 4: six hundred thousand dollars, we're going to calculate your real
Speaker 4: estate tax based on that.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Think we need to keep the focus on property taxes.
Speaker 2: You know, over here in Coren Township, they're getting ready
Speaker 2: to raise them again. They've failed to police levies. It's
Speaker 2: just nonsense. And you know, to Todd's inzers Point, and
Speaker 2: I don't know how Todd says stay so soft spoken,
Speaker 2: uscribed the coolest.
Speaker 3: Q cover around.
Speaker 2: There's all these added things that they want to buy
Speaker 2: and do. We just got slock cameras here in Coal Raine.
Speaker 2: I hate those things. It's like snooping on everywhere you
Speaker 2: go with your car. But you know, they they just
Speaker 2: keep planning more things to spend, and they're totally forgetting
Speaker 2: the stuff they're supposed to do, police, fire roads.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 2: I don't know why we got anything else what.
Speaker 1: I think we need to keep up that.
Speaker 4: Focus, I would say, so. I mean, you know, when
Speaker 4: Todd Zinser says we got four hundred and fifty million
Speaker 4: dollars worth of outstanding obligations for infrastructure already on the books,
Speaker 4: I mean, and I look back and I think, huh,
Speaker 4: let's see here, when's the last time Republicans ran the
Speaker 4: city of Cincinnati. No, not that it's a party stripe,
Speaker 4: because Republicans are terrible in overspending and spending as well.
Speaker 4: But Democrats have been in charge of the city for
Speaker 4: so long. And my favorite illustration here comes again Sunset.
Speaker 4: You drive on Sunset, you need an alignment carry down
Speaker 4: to Story. It's like a road from Gaza. It's been
Speaker 4: falling forever.
Speaker 3: Used to be like that too, for decades.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they don't take care of what they got,
Speaker 4: and then they want to bring us all in all
Speaker 4: kinds of brand new, shiny stuff and things which literally
Speaker 4: tends to only benefit one particular neighborhood. I'm thinking of
Speaker 4: the streetcar along those lines, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Oh golly. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the Western Hills Viaduct is.
Speaker 4: Literally falling down, quite literally, but they at least haven't
Speaker 4: they already addressed that in terms of allocating funding or
Speaker 4: Am I being overly optimistic about the status of that one.
Speaker 2: I think you're being optimistic. You're reacting to the headlines
Speaker 2: and not the content. I haven't seen anything. I mean,
Speaker 2: as far as I know, the concrete still falls down
Speaker 2: from the top to the bottom.
Speaker 3: Well, that's the way it does work.
Speaker 2: It's nonsense. So Wednesday's meeting at the end of the
Speaker 2: months focused on taxes. The March twenty six meetings can
Speaker 2: be all about restore wellness, and boy, do we have
Speaker 2: stuff to celebrate today. I cannot believe RFK made it through.
Speaker 2: I know that is such a huge, huge thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, I got a lot of Republican
Speaker 4: friends like you're letting them, you know, the wolf into
Speaker 4: the henhouse kind of thing. He's nefarious. And I was like, yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm aware of his record. I know what he has
Speaker 4: supported in the past. I know how he feels about,
Speaker 4: for example, like climate change and stuff. But he's on
Speaker 4: record is demonstrably interested in and worried and concerned about
Speaker 4: the nation's health. I mean, oh, that is a consistent
Speaker 4: position he's had. And his role, his role is limited
Speaker 4: to that kind of thing. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: He doesn't have any control over you know, EPA doesn't
Speaker 4: have any control over the Green New Deal or anything.
Speaker 4: So bringing some focus and clarity to what's going into
Speaker 4: our bodies, giving us the information so we can make
Speaker 4: informed decisions or choose to turn our backs on the
Speaker 4: on the information.
Speaker 3: As long as we've got it. That's his point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, there are certain events that are significant for
Speaker 2: symbolic reasons, like I think having RFK Junior, someone with
Speaker 2: the Kennedy name, at the front of the AHHS is
Speaker 2: a great symbolic significance. But there's also the idea that
Speaker 2: this is going to be an agent of change, so
Speaker 2: a truly transformative significance. His effort is going to turn
Speaker 2: the food pyramid upside down. It's going to turn this
Speaker 2: whole industry now that's focused on mRNA. I can't call
Speaker 2: them vaccines. They're not vaccines. They're basically rewriting your operating system.
Speaker 2: Excuse me, for your body. These things are horrible. I
Speaker 2: could see how they could treat maybe some kind of
Speaker 2: genetic disease or some kind of you know, where your
Speaker 2: body's not manufacturing a certain chemical. mRNA is great for that,
Speaker 2: going after something like a virus that mutates constantly. It's
Speaker 2: just not made for that. And I don't think anybody
Speaker 2: was told that at the beginning, certainly, nor the risks,
Speaker 2: nor the fact that it's going to be a permanent
Speaker 2: part of your DNA after they injected in your arm.
Speaker 2: I think he's going to bring a lot of light
Speaker 2: down on that and his focus on just giving you
Speaker 2: the information is great. Yeah, the problem we've had is
Speaker 2: the information has always been out there, but it was
Speaker 2: hidden until Twitter became a free platform.
Speaker 3: X yep.
Speaker 2: You know you couldn't find this information, but now you can.
Speaker 2: You know, all of the studies that talk about the
Speaker 2: effect on the hearts, effect on you know, sudden death
Speaker 2: and the turbo cancers and all these things that are
Speaker 2: coming out post COVID, you can now get that information.
Speaker 2: You can also get the historical stuff. I'm kind of
Speaker 2: looking at the Restore Wellness Twitter feed right now.
Speaker 4: Well, i'll tell you what on that recording on George
Speaker 4: on that note, let's pause because we're to break, and
Speaker 4: then because I wanted to elaborate on your Restore Wellness
Speaker 4: initiative and bring people's attention to that. So we'll dive
Speaker 4: into the details on that and a little more about
Speaker 4: the the RFK thing. Right right after these brief forged were.
Speaker 6: Right back fifty five KRC.
Speaker 1: John Roner.
Speaker 3: What the forecast says.
Speaker 4: We're going to start out sunny, turn partly cloudy and cloudy,
Speaker 4: sky's rolling fully tonight, breezy conditions in a high on
Speaker 4: thirty six a day. Rain will be around by five
Speaker 4: o'clock tomorrow morning, they say over night go to thirty two.
Speaker 4: All day rain tomorrow with a flood watching effect beginning
Speaker 4: at one pm. Tomorrow's High forty seven down to thirty overnight.
Speaker 4: They say rain will continue, two to three inches of
Speaker 4: rain possible, and I hope that's just not I hope
Speaker 4: that's collectively no clarity on that point. High thirty nine
Speaker 4: On Sunday, the rain moves out and the floodwatch ends
Speaker 4: in the afternoon time for traffic update.
Speaker 1: From the U SEE Health Traffic Center.
Speaker 12: For more than two hundred years, the experts you see
Speaker 12: healthy've been giving heard patients and chance and better outcomes.
Speaker 12: That's boundless care. You can trust, expect more, and you
Speaker 12: see health dot com step bound seventy five. That's those
Speaker 12: for a couple of extra minutes through Lachland. Otherwise, highway
Speaker 12: trafficking pretty good shape. There's a reckon Harrison that's on
Speaker 12: Gilby ed Simonson truck into a utility pole, Chuck Ingram
Speaker 12: on fifty five KR.
Speaker 1: See the talk station.
Speaker 4: A twenty fifty five KRC detalk station. I didn't mention
Speaker 4: all morning. I guess I should have because quite a
Speaker 4: I get texts on my phone quite a few times
Speaker 4: during the morning show from listeners chiming in. I also
Speaker 4: get email. Well, I left my phone at home again,
Speaker 4: so I didn't get any text and I can't get
Speaker 4: into my email because I have two factor authentication. So
Speaker 4: basically I'm screwed. So apologies, I'm not being rude. I
Speaker 4: just don't know until I get home if somebody's reached
Speaker 4: out to me. Without further deo, let's continue our conversation
Speaker 4: on health with George Renaman at George Brunnman. You launched
Speaker 4: a restore Wellness initiative, and we talked about this last
Speaker 4: time you were on the program, and so on the
Speaker 4: heels of your comments about RFK Junior being confirmed by
Speaker 4: the Senate as a Health and Human Services Secretary, which
Speaker 4: you and I both view is a good thing. How's
Speaker 4: the wellness effort going? And remind my listeners what the
Speaker 4: restore wellness effort is all about.
Speaker 2: So the Restore Wellness dot org is a website that's
Speaker 2: meant to give you information to help you take care
Speaker 2: of yourself the whole focus. Similarly, you know, our restore
Speaker 2: wellness was always a restored liberty was always focused on
Speaker 2: personal responsibility. You know, you've got to take personal responsibility,
Speaker 2: don't count on the government. Right here, we're taking a
Speaker 2: really similar thing where your health should be your personal responsibility.
Speaker 2: So we're trying to provide resources, meetings, we're working on podcasts.
Speaker 2: We're supposed to get the first one soon to tell
Speaker 2: you here's the information. So the best spot we've got
Speaker 2: right now on the page is if you go to
Speaker 2: the homepage. We've got our Twitter feed at the top.
Speaker 2: We've got some suggestions, and then we have the resources
Speaker 2: that you can take a look at the books that
Speaker 2: are coming out. There's a whole block of them now
Speaker 2: that are just super informative on giving you real clues
Speaker 2: on why it is that you feel like your overweight,
Speaker 2: Why is it that you have eyed blood pressure, why
Speaker 2: is it that you're pre diabetic or got type two diabetes?
Speaker 2: And wow, of course all of these seem to come
Speaker 2: to very similar conclusions. You got to get back to
Speaker 2: what your body was designed for. We weren't designed to
Speaker 2: eat carbs. You know, cave men didn't have carbs laying around.
Speaker 3: They also didn't have processed sugar and corn syrup of summer.
Speaker 2: But that was about it, George, and so your body's
Speaker 2: just not made for it.
Speaker 4: They also didn't have process sugar and corn syrup right right.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw my face.
Speaker 2: Corn syrup alone. And I just hope that ourf cake
Speaker 2: and just get rid of that entirely.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, would you talk to some of the Republicans and
Speaker 4: farm states and the farm bill, George, because they're the
Speaker 4: ones that push corn down our necks because the farmers
Speaker 4: benefit from it. Not that I'm against the American farmer,
Speaker 4: but Lord almighty, they manipulate the system to give all
Speaker 4: kinds of subsidies to manifest or to grow corn, which
Speaker 4: we then have to burn in our gas tanks and
Speaker 4: convert into corn syrup, and it goes into literally every
Speaker 4: food that we've got.
Speaker 11: It.
Speaker 3: Really that really angers me, really, and most of its.
Speaker 2: Republic political crosses over with the health because the whole
Speaker 2: reason we have high fruitose corn syrup is because the
Speaker 2: United States government gets a ton of subsidies for corns.
Speaker 2: Otherwise sugar would be cheaper. Ah, there's all these insidious interconnections.
Speaker 2: So the whole food pyramid. Do you know who responsible
Speaker 2: for that?
Speaker 4: I don't know doctor Fauci, no, Senator McGovern, George mc.
Speaker 2: Yes, he got fed up with all of the conflicting
Speaker 2: information and he basically said, hey, you know, the Quaker
Speaker 2: oats and the grains industry really will benefit from this
Speaker 2: if we say that carbs are the source of your
Speaker 2: mainstay in the diet. Had nothing to do with health data.
Speaker 2: It had to do with who was giving him the
Speaker 2: most money, polarly with just about everything else. You see,
Speaker 2: why are we taking all these cholesterol drugs? Well, nobody
Speaker 2: gets to talk about the side effects us, but you
Speaker 2: know it's a number you can track. Well, it turns out,
Speaker 2: you know, going after cholesterols like going after fire trucks
Speaker 2: for causing fires. You know, the cholesterols there after the injury,
Speaker 2: not before, just like firemen don't show up until after
Speaker 2: there's a fire.
Speaker 3: Well, and since your brain.
Speaker 2: An entire industry concentrating on getting rid of.
Speaker 4: It, and since your brain has comprised the fats, something
Speaker 4: tells me, and I know there's been wide speculation, maybe
Speaker 4: even research studies on it, the statins having an impact
Speaker 4: on your brain, ergo, maybe having a connection with Alzheimer's,
Speaker 4: leading to my next conversation with my guests on her
Speaker 4: book You Were Still Dancing, which relates to Alzheimer's Hey,
Speaker 4: real quick, I can't let you go. You're talking about
Speaker 4: the vaccines, I guess, and I presume you saw the
Speaker 4: article about Children's hospital not allowing a transplant patient to
Speaker 4: move forward with her transplant because she didn't get the
Speaker 4: COVID vaccine. Isn't it rather strange since heart conditions are
Speaker 4: one of the problems that they've cropped up as a
Speaker 4: relationship to COVID nineteen we're talking about a heart transplant pation.
Speaker 2: I And on top of that, you know, one of
Speaker 2: the main side effects of all those vaccines and boosters
Speaker 2: is reduced immune system. And when you're getting a transplant,
Speaker 2: Holy cow, I mean, do you want to have that
Speaker 2: on top of having a transplant. It's just the fariest
Speaker 2: beyond words. I like the idea that they need to
Speaker 2: step back and say, listen, you know, this isn't working.
Speaker 2: COVID doesn't affect young people in the first place. And
Speaker 2: I think that's what we can look for is we've
Speaker 2: got at the national level started addressing these big questions,
Speaker 2: but Restore Wellness is here for the local level to say, hey,
Speaker 2: there are things we can do. We're trying to get
Speaker 2: some events put together where we bring in you know,
Speaker 2: local practitioners, you know, like chiropractors, nutritionists, you know, massage therapists,
Speaker 2: all of these things that you have a hard time
Speaker 2: getting your insurance to cover, but actually help you more
Speaker 2: than the little pill that they want to give you
Speaker 2: at the doctor's office. I just think this is a huge,
Speaker 2: huge opportunity to get better.
Speaker 1: And I've heard you're having.
Speaker 2: Some success with keto.
Speaker 11: Yeah, fantastic news.
Speaker 4: Well, I just I put a post on Facebook the
Speaker 4: other day just to let folks know that I was
Speaker 4: recommending to them because I've had such great success feeling
Speaker 4: better because I cut sugar out of my diet. And
Speaker 4: in putting this post up, I just randomly because I
Speaker 4: know Mountain Dews got all kinds of sugar, and I
Speaker 4: foind it's got like forty seven grams of sugar, and
Speaker 4: one can a Mountain dew forty five grams, right, and
Speaker 4: that's an insane amount. That's like eleven tea spoons. And
Speaker 4: if you're crazy enough to drink a sixty four ouncer,
Speaker 4: that's more than a full cup of sugar.
Speaker 3: And people drink a mountain dews all day long. I'm like,
Speaker 3: it's killing you.
Speaker 11: Man.
Speaker 4: You're gonna feel so much better if you get it
Speaker 4: out of your diet. So and forty five grams of
Speaker 4: sugar is more than I have in an entire week anymore.
Speaker 4: And I just feel so much better for it. And
Speaker 4: I'm praying it has an impact on my cancer because
Speaker 4: cancer loves sugar. Do your own research on that, or
Speaker 4: maybe find it over on respect wellness dot com someday.
Speaker 4: George Brenneman, keep up the great work. Thanks for looking
Speaker 4: out for everybody. Remember to get to the farm. February
Speaker 4: twenty sixth five point thirty free meal thanks to Americans
Speaker 4: for prosperity. George will have you on again real soon.
Speaker 4: Have a wonderful Valentine's Day and weekend.
Speaker 2: YouTube Brian, thank you so much.
Speaker 3: Thanks brother.
Speaker 4: It's a twenty seven coming up on Marian Ben's with
Speaker 4: her book You Were Still Dancing. She's a former Westsider
Speaker 4: will we will forgive her for moving to Georgia, but
Speaker 4: she's got a great book to talk about experiences which
Speaker 4: she had with her grandmother and mother. You Were Still
Speaker 4: Dancing The Unforgettable Journey through Alzheimer's. That's up next.
Speaker 1: This is fifty five krc an iHeartRadio station, Jury Taxi.
Speaker 4: And welcome to fifty five KRCY Morning Show. Marion Ben's,
Speaker 4: who is a we'll still call her a local author.
Speaker 4: We won't hold it again. There's the Cincinnati native. But
Speaker 4: she did move to Atlanta in the nineties with her
Speaker 4: husband and family. But she is a local author and
Speaker 4: she wrote a book. It's called You Were Still Dancing,
Speaker 4: The Unforgettable Journey through Alzheimer's. Marion Ben's welcome in the
Speaker 4: morning Show. It's great to have you on my program.
Speaker 10: Thanks Brian, and I appreciate the introduction.
Speaker 4: Well, you're more than welcome. I just give my little
Speaker 4: readers a foundation so they know it's a local author.
Speaker 4: I like to support local authors. I think it's really
Speaker 4: kind of neat that we've gotten them in the audience
Speaker 4: because there's some really talented folks out there. But your
Speaker 4: book about Alzheimer's and Sadly you were, how old were
Speaker 4: you when your grandmother experiences the challenge presented by Alzheimer's.
Speaker 10: I was probably sixteen, mid teens. I would say I
Speaker 10: was still living at home and my grandmother when my
Speaker 10: grandmother was diagnosed, she came to live with my family.
Speaker 10: At that time, there were six kids in the time,
Speaker 10: there were just two of us left, myself and my
Speaker 10: brother Kevin, so Maul moved in. They looked at nursing
Speaker 10: homes and small, small family homes my mom and her sister,
Speaker 10: but they just could and come to an agreement on
Speaker 10: where to leave her, and my mom just she wanted
Speaker 10: her with us, so my grandmother moved in.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 4: Having lived through this with my father struggling with Alzheimer's
Speaker 4: dimension I ultimately ended his life. The challenge is presented
Speaker 4: by having to care for a loved one, and not
Speaker 4: just the emotional component, which is obviously overwhelming, but my
Speaker 4: mom was just run down to the point of exhaustion
Speaker 4: because you know, it's a literal twenty four hour day,
Speaker 4: seven day a week proposition dealing with the challenges these
Speaker 4: folks struggle with.
Speaker 10: Right, you know, And that was my mom was also
Speaker 10: working part time, you know, I remember I was in
Speaker 10: my summers, I was a camp counselor. And during one
Speaker 10: of these years that my grandma was with us, I
Speaker 10: came back in the fall and my mom had aged overnight,
Speaker 10: and it was so dramatic for me and traumatic to
Speaker 10: see that just to in a short ten weeks when
Speaker 10: I was gone, how much she had changed. And you
Speaker 10: don't realize it. I wasn't the primary caregiver, you know,
Speaker 10: I was witnessing what was going on, but you don't
Speaker 10: take the full blunt of caregiving. As a teenager, even
Speaker 10: I would help mom, or we would shit my brother
Speaker 10: and I would sit with mal so Mom and Dad
Speaker 10: could go out. But it is absolutely a life changing
Speaker 10: aging process for the caregiver. And you know that's why I,
Speaker 10: you know, encourage people who talk to me who are
Speaker 10: going through it to basically to take your oxygen first,
Speaker 10: to take care of yourself, to make sure that you're
Speaker 10: eating right. You know, of all the research I did
Speaker 10: for this book, it's the Mediterranean diet is the one
Speaker 10: diet that just kept popping up, kind of went to
Speaker 10: the top of diets for people, not just to prevent Alzheimer's,
Speaker 10: but just to lead a healthier lifestyle. And that's one
Speaker 10: of the things that you know I would recommend, but sleep, exercise,
Speaker 10: and in some form of just clearing your mind. I meditated,
Speaker 10: you know. And another really important thing is just taking
Speaker 10: people up on it on the offer to sit with
Speaker 10: your loved one, or finding someone who will sit with
Speaker 10: their life, or paying someone just sit with your life,
Speaker 10: because you need to get away. You need to just
Speaker 10: step back from it. And even if you're just going
Speaker 10: outside and taking a small walk and just breathing the
Speaker 10: fresh air, well, but it's just all encompassing.
Speaker 4: Mary and Ben's author of you were still dancing. This
Speaker 4: Alzheimer's situation, though, developed further because once your grandmother, I
Speaker 4: guess it was it after she passed that your mother
Speaker 4: came down with the symptoms of Alzheimer's.
Speaker 10: Yes, yes, my grandmother passed, and you know it was
Speaker 10: probably it was another I would say fifteen twenty years
Speaker 10: when Mom started showing the signs, but she actually you know,
Speaker 10: Alzheimer's is now known to begin in the brain twenty
Speaker 10: you know, two decades before the symptoms first appear. So
Speaker 10: while we're outliving our lives, there's a lot going on
Speaker 10: inside our head that you know, we don't know about now. Now,
Speaker 10: there is early testing if you're brave enough to do it,
Speaker 10: and I haven't done that yet, but I have friends
Speaker 10: that have, and I think you really have to be
Speaker 10: careful to make sure that you have the personality that
Speaker 10: can handle that, maybe you have an increased risk of
Speaker 10: developing Alzheimer's. I know myself if if I forgot a word,
Speaker 10: which I sometimes do, the first place to know is
Speaker 10: I'm getting Alzheimer's, and just the bandits that might follow out,
Speaker 10: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: Ben I have the exact same reaction. I'll be sixty
Speaker 4: in September, and I like to just pass it. I
Speaker 4: was like, jeez, Brian, you're getting old. It's not as
Speaker 4: sharp as you used to be. And I'm struggling to
Speaker 4: find a word. But then again, I immediately think of
Speaker 4: my father, and it's unsettling, to say the least.
Speaker 3: So it is good, no go ahead in.
Speaker 10: The absence of a cure, and there is none right now.
Speaker 10: That's I think you really have to weigh whether you
Speaker 10: can handle knowing that you have a greater chance.
Speaker 15: Now.
Speaker 10: Of course, you can go back to all the things
Speaker 10: what do I need to do to prevent it? But
Speaker 10: you still have to know if you have the mindset
Speaker 10: that can you know, not go to turnal the places
Speaker 10: whenever you know we're my keys, or you know, you
Speaker 10: walk into a room and what did I come in
Speaker 10: here for? And I think that we all do it
Speaker 10: to some extent. So when you have a history in
Speaker 10: your family, it's easy to go there, and then it's
Speaker 10: easy to kind of become consumed bias. Yeah, that's you know,
Speaker 10: just to try to not go there.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Actually, I can see it bringing on full blown depression
Speaker 4: if you, I mean, if you, if you're dwelling on
Speaker 4: it enough. It's just it's terrib because the disease is insidious.
Speaker 4: I mean it, I actually, and I don't know this.
Speaker 4: That sounded like disrespect for my dad or that I
Speaker 4: was happy he died, But what a weight was looked
Speaker 4: that he was miserable. He didn't know who anybody was.
Speaker 4: He laid in his bed and had no function, you know,
Speaker 4: no control over his bowels, which is obviously a common
Speaker 4: problem in these situations, which is one of the reasons
Speaker 4: why you're tending to someone twenty four to seven. Uh,
Speaker 4: it's it's just he I knew he was in a
Speaker 4: better place, that he was released.
Speaker 10: Right exactly, and and I and I believe that's the word.
Speaker 10: And that's how I feel thought my grandmother, I felt
Speaker 10: like she was just let go, she was released. And
Speaker 10: I think that's just such a nice way to look
Speaker 10: at it. It helps if you if you it depends
Speaker 10: on you know where you come from spiritually. But but
Speaker 10: if you do believe that we are, you know, we
Speaker 10: are our soul encompasses a boy r. However you look
Speaker 10: at it, you know, to be released from those chains
Speaker 10: and they really do hold you down when you have
Speaker 10: a disease such as Alzheimer's.
Speaker 4: Well, if you're faced with Alzheimer's in your family, what
Speaker 4: having lived this now two times, you obviously saw it all,
Speaker 4: how do you what do you recommend people to do
Speaker 4: in terms of dealing with this challenge and maintain some
Speaker 4: sort of I know you mentioned the exercise and taking
Speaker 4: walks and all that related to caregiving because it is exhausting,
Speaker 4: But what about just coping with the general reality that
Speaker 4: they're living with.
Speaker 10: What are your recommendations the reality that that caregiver lives
Speaker 10: with or the reality that the patient lives with.
Speaker 3: No the caregiver.
Speaker 4: I was thinking more of the caregiver, because quite often
Speaker 4: the patient themselves loses any sense of recollection or even
Speaker 4: ability to recognize you as a as a relative.
Speaker 10: Right, you know, So for myself personally, I do and
Speaker 10: I think about it every day. That's the first thing.
Speaker 10: I Alzheimer's is no more than a couple of degrees
Speaker 10: away from you know, my thought process wherever I am.
Speaker 10: I do believe strongly in a one meditation. I know
Speaker 10: I spoke with that earlier, but I can't emphasize that
Speaker 10: enough to even go into like a deep breathing clearing
Speaker 10: your mind, just kind of setting the tone for the
Speaker 10: day as you you know, get I believe that I
Speaker 10: always start my day with exercise, some form of yoga,
Speaker 10: some form of our Wilbek exercise, and just try to
Speaker 10: you know, give my body the best chance I can
Speaker 10: to to keep from you know, the problem with Alzheimer's,
Speaker 10: it's not a problem. That issue with Alzheimer's is that
Speaker 10: Alzheimer's is very much like any other disease that affects
Speaker 10: the heart right. So if you have high blood pressure,
Speaker 10: if you have high cholesterol, those those need to be
Speaker 10: recognized and then they need to be taken care of
Speaker 10: broad ender control. Whatever means that is. I am on
Speaker 10: a statin. I you know, I don't feel like I
Speaker 10: should be on a status because I'm in states and
Speaker 10: I eat right, and I exercise, and I try to
Speaker 10: do all the right things. But apparently genetically I'm predisposed
Speaker 10: to having high cholesterol. Yeah, I tried my doctor ride
Speaker 10: to you know, do it, you know with diet, do
Speaker 10: it with exercise. You gave me a lot of time.
Speaker 4: Well, let me strongly encourage you to look into bioidentical
Speaker 4: hormone replacement therapy, which is what the Europeans do to
Speaker 4: solve the cholesterol problem. Plus it really makes you feel good,
Speaker 4: I mean really good. So Okay, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy
Speaker 4: you made your hormone could be out of balance, low estrogen,
Speaker 4: low tester and whatever testoster, whatever happens to be. But
Speaker 4: if you do some research on it, they don't use
Speaker 4: statins in Europe from what I've been told by physicians.
Speaker 3: That I deal with.
Speaker 4: So just a thought, but it also deals with a
Speaker 4: whole bunch of other problems, you know, metapausal problems and
Speaker 4: you know, sexual desire and uh just it's it's it's
Speaker 4: kind of magical. If I may be so bold as
Speaker 4: to say so, maryon Ben's Now, I guess this book
Speaker 4: is recommended for anybody who is dealing with the realities
Speaker 4: of Alzheimer's, anybody who's got a family member or a
