WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.879 I agree, there will only being two genders every day. 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.040 The left just try to change the language. 3 00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:17.920 Fifty five KRC the Talk Station, five oh five. 4 00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:25.760 If it's not KRC the Talk station, Happy Valentine's Day. 5 00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:37.359 Some say, a. 6 00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:42.359 There it is. You know it's Friday because Joe hit 7 00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:44.600 the woo hoo button. Just Trucker, executive producer of the program. 8 00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:45.359 Appreciate what you do. 9 00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:46.719 Joe. Appreciate the lineup this morning. 10 00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:50.280 Brian Thomas, glad it's Friday, and a very happy Friday, everybody. 11 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:57.920 Happy Valentine's Day, and happy thirty third anniversary of the 12 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.320 day that my wife agreed to marry me. So got 13 00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:08.840 engaged on Valentine's Day. Yeah, I know, I just you know, 14 00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.680 Valentine's Day Hallmark holiday as far as I'm concerned. But 15 00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.040 it was an excuse to just go ahead and do 16 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.719 something that I planned on doing. Got up that more. 17 00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:20.079 I remember getting up that morning and I didn't have 18 00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:22.680 a ring or anything. I just went down to Jewelers 19 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:27.239 Row and Chicago bought the ring that day and then 20 00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:29.280 tried to take her out to dinner, and she didn't 21 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.680 want to go out to dinner. It's okay, So we 22 00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:37.040 got carry out from our favorite tie food place and 23 00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:39.799 we sat on the living room floor and after the 24 00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:42.959 Tai food, I popped the question. As I pointed out, 25 00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:44.480 I knew it was the right thing to do because 26 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.319 of one of my all time favorite movies, Cosablanca, happened 27 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:49.920 to be on television that night, so we watched Casablanca 28 00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:54.920 and got engaged. Fast forward to end of June and 29 00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.560 that's when we got married. And I was like pointing 30 00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:59.359 it out. You know, thirty three years of marriage and 31 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.000 you know, we had her ups and downs and all 32 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:07.640 worked through it. But we told everybody we were getting married. 33 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.400 We just didn't invite anybody and got married in a 34 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.919 lobby of the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Naples, Florida, which 35 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:20.039 was really fun, and had the judge. Is why we 36 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:21.759 had a judge was a friend of one of the 37 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.039 partners worked at the firm, and he linked me up 38 00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:25.639 with him and he said, yeah, he'll marry, and so 39 00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:27.800 he came over with his wife. His wife was a witness, 40 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.439 and the photographer that we hired the day we got married. 41 00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:31.599 As a witness too. 42 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:34.919 So it was fun and I love that story because 43 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:41.360 you don't need a huge, giant stupid expensive wedding where 44 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.520 you feel badly about the people you didn't invite and 45 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:45.479 feel like you left them out or they feel like 46 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.159 they got dissed because they weren't invited. Well, we were 47 00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:51.280 equal opportunity offenders. We didn't even invite my mom and dad. 48 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.159 I actually asked, can we show up? It's like no, no, 49 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.879 that'll just kind of just sort of the unleveled of 50 00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:02.039 playing field. Because paul UT's father never left the farm, 51 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:06.479 I don't think ever. Dairy farmer, hard working guy, God 52 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:10.439 bless him. He was just an amazing, amazing man. Just 53 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:16.680 you know, a dairy farmer, small rural Pennsylvania dairy farmer, 54 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:19.520 and you got to milk the cows twice a day 55 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.240 or they stopped producing milk and your income goes away. 56 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.159 So he's not about to leave the farm. He never 57 00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:26.280 came to visit us from after we moved to Cincinnati 58 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.840 here Chicago. His mom, her mom did, but. 59 00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:29.840 He couldn't leave. 60 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:31.800 So you know, they didn't have the ability to go, 61 00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.960 nor the financial means to go. Like no, you guys, 62 00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.800 mom and dad, I'm sorry. We had a party and 63 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.560 thanks to my mom and dad for throwing a party 64 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:40.919 for us. 65 00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:45.479 After we got back, but just the historic date for. 66 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:49.000 Me, and I know my wife is probably listening right now. 67 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:54.840 Thank you for saying yes, certainly transform my life. And 68 00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:57.800 coming up Tech Friday with Dave Hatter. Every Friday at 69 00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.639 six start we get to hear from Intrust. I tease 70 00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.840 Dave and we talk about the spike and spoofing attacks 71 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:09.360 on are you ready airplanes? He sent me the article 72 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:11.680 that is a subject matter of that topic of conversation, 73 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:17.040 and it is scary. I'm already having a problem with 74 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:19.959 traveling on an airplane anymore. It keeps getting worse. You know, 75 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:23.639 I've said I trust airplanes and I trust flying, and 76 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.360 I think the likelihood of something happening is very slim. 77 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.199 I know the statistics, but wow, the more and more 78 00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.759 information comes out about air travel, the more I'm getting 79 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:35.639 freaked out. But this is really really creepy messing around 80 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:40.079 with the GPS systems. That someone can unilaterally mess around 81 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:46.240 with the GPS system is huge implications. So I will 82 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.759 talk about that with Dave Hatter coming up. The local 83 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:54.720 woman stalked by info found on her tender account. You 84 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:58.240 think your privacy doesn't matter and you have nothing to hide, Well, 85 00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.439 guess what. It's all out there in the world and 86 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.360 people can figure out stuff about you online and then 87 00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:07.360 maybe stalk you online. Real estate scam. We'll also talk 88 00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:09.560 about that. That'll come up at six point thirty, followed 89 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:14.480 by Todd zins Or former Inspector General Wow Okay in 90 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:20.639 studio the Citizen Watchdog, What is Rising fifteen and the 91 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:24.000 Shenanigans behind it? Also, he's got a new YouTube channel. 92 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.319 You can channel you can check out Citizen Watchdog with 93 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.879 Todd Zenzer Former Inspector General, George Brennevan. He's coming back 94 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.560 in the studio. Will he be in studio, Joe, No, 95 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.120 he's on the phone. We'll get his thoughts because he's 96 00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.199 all into health. He's got this new Restore Health initiative 97 00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:41.759 that's going on. And George, he's been on the program 98 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:43.439 quite a few times over the years. Is we'll get 99 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.319 his thoughts on RFK Junior's appointment. And yes, he went through. 100 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.199 I'm actually you know, I know some of my listeners 101 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:53.720 don't like him because of his bizarre political musings and 102 00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:56.399 his you know, feelings about climate change and all that. 103 00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:59.120 But he didn't have any control over that. But he 104 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:05.600 might might bring transparency into what's going into our bodies, 105 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.199 which I think is really important. I mean, when you 106 00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:09.439 look at all the additives and foods, and I never 107 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.120 was a big label well, I guess I've always looked 108 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:16.600 at labels, but ever since that I've tried to meet 109 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.399 this challenge of eradicating sugar from my diet, you read 110 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:21.879 labels more and more and you're like, why is all 111 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:27.079 of this crap in our food? And I know most 112 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:28.839 of my listeners probably have seen it. You know, you 113 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:33.480 compare the labels in the United States for exactly the 114 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:37.079 same product, but the products sold in the European Union. 115 00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:42.240 And I know this all springs from regulations, and you 116 00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:45.839 know me, I'm not a regulation guy. But if you 117 00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:49.680 can produce the food in Europe without all the additional 118 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:53.120 additives and chemicals and things, why can't we have it here? 119 00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:56.759 And you know, have they done any research to find 120 00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.040 out what all these additives and things that they put 121 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:02.360 into the food, whether they have any adverse impacts on 122 00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.360 our health? Isn't it a worthy endeavor to look into? 123 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:10.399 And why is blank and corn syrup literally and almost 124 00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:14.480 anything you can buy these days? Oh, it adds to 125 00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:18.160 the appeal of the food. It adds to your enjoyment 126 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:23.079 and the flavor. But it's an additive. It's an artificially 127 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:25.600 incorporated ingredient. 128 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.040 Maybe you know, if. 129 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.920 The food doesn't taste good enough without that, so we 130 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:34.759 add some sugar to it so you like it more. 131 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:40.279 Probably have any adverse impact on our collective health. Geez 132 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:42.480 I put a Facebook post up the other day about 133 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.240 my struggles against sugar. Am I encouraging everyone to try 134 00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:46.959 to cut it out of your life because it makes 135 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:50.160 you feel better. I mean, I got a couple of 136 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:53.240 reasons to do that my health. Generally speaking, I'm hoping 137 00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:55.759 that it has an impact on my cancer because there's 138 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:58.040 a lot of research out there showing there's a correlation 139 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:02.839 between sugar and cancer. Canzer eats that stuff up, I 140 00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.399 mean at an insane rate compared to the rest of 141 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.439 your body cells, so you're feeding the bad guy. So 142 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.079 I thought, Okay, I don't know if that works for lymfuma, 143 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:13.120 but I'm gonna give it a shot. 144 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:13.839 And then you. 145 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:18.600 Start reading labels and you're like, holy crap. You know, 146 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:21.480 you got four grams of sugar in a mere tablespoon 147 00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:26.399 of ketchup. But the illustration I use on my Facebook 148 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:29.439 post was there's forty five grams of sugar in one 149 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:33.519 single can of Mountain Dew. And I know there's people 150 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.759 out there that maybe drink three four five cans of 151 00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.559 DO a day. I'm just letting you know you're probably 152 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:44.080 killing yourself. You're certainly not doing your body any good. 153 00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:47.360 And I'm sorry being preachy this morning. It's Friday, should 154 00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:50.360 be in a better mood. But as I stare aghast 155 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:53.240 at the stories that are in front of me, it's 156 00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:58.799 a little difficult. And as I see here, fourteen states 157 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:04.639 have now sued Elon Musk in the Department of Governmental 158 00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:11.440 Efficiency and Trump arguing and okay, for those who read 159 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:14.320 articles and follow the news, what do we call Elon 160 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.720 Musk before mentioning his name? What do we say? What 161 00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:25.000 is not Nazi? Joe, tech billionaire, billionaire. Oh, they put 162 00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:27.440 it in front of his name every single time. I 163 00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:30.240 don't care what media authority you're looking at. It's tech 164 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:34.559 billionaire and Nazi. Okay, I'll give you that, Joe fine, 165 00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:41.480 tech billionaire. They're endeavoring to wage a class warfare argument 166 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.759 in that subtle reminder that Elon Musk is very widely successful, 167 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.799 but read the leadership genius of Elon Musk. My guest 168 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:53.320 yesterday Dennis Neil that I mean, he may be a 169 00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:56.039 tech billionaire, but he leads a pretty lean life and 170 00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:59.159 his whole existence and he loves the country is to 171 00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:02.480 lean thing things out and make things more efficient. And 172 00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:08.360 shouldn't we want that in our government? Everybody's pulling their 173 00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:11.919 hair out that we're finding fraud, waste and abuse in government, 174 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:17.639 and isn't that a good thing? Do we need as 175 00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:23.080 many government employees as we have? Apparently not the analogy 176 00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:27.080 drawn in the book Elon Musk. He buys Twitter and 177 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.919 ends up eliminating eighty percent of the jobs there, and 178 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:33.639 yet Twitter form of you know, functions as easily and 179 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:36.240 effectively as it did when they had eighty percent more 180 00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:38.480 employees than they do. Now, why did you have them 181 00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:42.159 in the first place? I don't know. Maybe the business 182 00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:45.360 was poorly run. Maybe the business executives had formerly Twitter 183 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.960 just thought well, well this is how it is. They 184 00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:53.279 weren't looking for efficiency. I guess they were spending all 185 00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:55.720 their time trying to ferret out stuff that they didn't 186 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:58.600 like and didn't want you to say out loud. In 187 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:00.559 a free country that has the right free and I 188 00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:03.600 know that doesn't track with privately owned companies. They don't 189 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:05.720 have to give you the right to free speech. But 190 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:11.360 as a platform to you know, put messages out to 191 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:14.840 the world, why wouldn't you want multiple you know, positions 192 00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:16.879 on any given side so you and I can sort 193 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:19.879 of use our logic and reason skills to decide, well, 194 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:23.799 which position is better. Perhaps they didn't want you discussing that. 195 00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:25.759 Perhaps they didn't want you to bring up the reasons 196 00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:30.039 why DEI, for example, is a failing exercise and results 197 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:34.720 in people that don't have merit and the appropriate skill 198 00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:37.320 sets for any given job are given jobs. Anyway, that 199 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:40.639 might be a you know, something to look at when 200 00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:44.399 you're considering whether DEI is a good thing. But they would, 201 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:47.480 you know, push the message that you want to offer 202 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:49.960 contra to the one that they're trying to sell you, 203 00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.000 cover it up, push it away, or push it down 204 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:54.759 to the bottom so nobody e would ever see it. 205 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.039 Maybe that's what those eighty percent the employees were doing. 206 00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:57.639 I don't know. 207 00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:01.519 But going back to the government, look at I mean, 208 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:06.039 we every single day, I mean, I'm overwhelmed with the 209 00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.559 billions and billions of dollars that are going out into 210 00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:11.480 the world for the dumbest possible things, And those billions 211 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:15.759 of dollars don't have a paper trail. The grant is issued, 212 00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:19.039 the money goes out, and no one looks into how 213 00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:25.000 the money was used, who was the recipient of all 214 00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:30.600 this money? And honestly, you know, the more fundamental point 215 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:34.000 is it's money we don't even have to spend, not 216 00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:37.480 just the tax dollars that they actually receive in Washington, 217 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:52.480 but trillions beyond that, a trillion dollars, one thousand billion dollars. 218 00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:57.000 Try to grab your head around that. Most people just 219 00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:59.600 gloss over. I mean, we used to talk about millions 220 00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:01.919 of dollars and spending and viewed it as a big 221 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:04.840 deal in government back when like Reagan was president. Oh 222 00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.679 my god, millions and millions of dollars. Now it's just 223 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:12.720 literally we've even moved past billions. And of course a 224 00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:21.559 billion is a thousand million. So yeah, when I see 225 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:23.799 them finding, you know, like this. The other day, Lee 226 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:29.480 Zelden found that there was a twenty billion dollar grant 227 00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:32.360 green energy slush fund is what he referred to for 228 00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:37.720 the EPA, and they quickly rolled it out. Someone referred 229 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:41.879 to it as throwing gold bars off of the Titanic. 230 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:45.399 That would be an insider referring to the push to 231 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:47.720 get this money out into the world. They knew it 232 00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:50.399 was being thrown overboard, meaning it wasn't going to yield 233 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:53.440 any fruit that you and I would benefit from. We 234 00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:55.039 just need to get the money out to these non 235 00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:58.519 governmental organizations to keep the funding rolling. Hurry up quick. 236 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:04.200 We lost the election, but that's twenty billion dollars, just 237 00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:14.840 one tiny fraction of the excess spending government engages in annually. 238 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:21.039 And the left is screaming about it. And that's not 239 00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:21.679 just the left. 240 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:25.080 There was a funny op ed piece about the GOP's 241 00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:29.600 Doge test Kiberly Strassel Wall Street Journal saying, Okay, Republicans, 242 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.320 spotlight's going to be on you. You're singing the praise 243 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:35.720 of Elon Musk ferning out fraud, waste and abuse. But 244 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.080 when it comes to your pet projects, when it comes 245 00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:44.080 to your state, when they come calling to cut your program, 246 00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:49.360 that's fraud filled, wasteful, stupid, abusive, not yielding any benefit 247 00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:51.080 for the American public. What are you going to do? 248 00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:54.360 And it's gonna be an interesting thing to behold. This 249 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:56.639 is something Congressman Thomas mass You talked about earlier in 250 00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:58.919 the week on Wednesday, listen to the podcast at fifty 251 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.320 five Caresey dot com.

In other words, continuing the 255 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:15.399 vicious downward spile existential threat to the United States of America. 256 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:17.320 Five twenty right now fifty five KOs City Talks Station. 257 00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:19.000 Feel free to call five one three, seven four nine 258 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.639 fifty eight two three talk would be right back.

Parallel the Democrats screaming about all 266 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.679 this fraud, waste and abuse being exposed, and Trump's and 267 00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:00.799 everybody's efforts to cut it out.

Hey, you were speaking of 278 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:42.000 the sugar in the milligram. Yeah, most people don't know 279 00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:46.600 what milligram is, but the formerly is if you divide by. 280 00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:49.080 Four, that changes to tea spoons. 281 00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:54.360 So sl can and pophairf forded milligram or sugar divibe 282 00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:58.399 by four, you're eating the equivalent of ten teaspoons of 283 00:16:58.480 --> 00:16:59.840 stupar peez Louis. 284 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.679 It sounds terrible just to hear it, man, right. 285 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:06.640 When you take it back to teaspoon people not comfortable 286 00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:07.839 with millo gram. 287 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:09.359 Yeah, divide by four. 288 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:13.799 You know, James, you just put an exclamation point on 289 00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:17.880 my mountain dew analogy to the sugar intake we all have. 290 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:25.240 And that's just let's think about this one one can. 291 00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:27.440 Right, that's the equivalent to it mountain dew. I think 292 00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:30.839 it is forty eight, So divide that by four and 293 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:33.880 that's what you get equivalent how much teaspoon and sugar? 294 00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:38.680 Actually, I think it's forty six grams. I may have 295 00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:41.599 been wrong, and I think it's actually I'll have to 296 00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:43.720 relook it up because I look back at my post, 297 00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:45.559 which is the impetus for me bring that up? One 298 00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:49.680 can a mountain do forty six grams of sugar? Is 299 00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:50.240 it grams? 300 00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:53.720 Joe? It is? So I was wrong, So you can 301 00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:54.839 revise your figures. 302 00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:57.480 And it's it's more, way more than what you came 303 00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:03.279 up in terms of tea spoons. Yeah, no, it's it's 304 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.200 actually gram forty six grams of sugar in a twelve 305 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:08.319 ounce can of mountain dew. 306 00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:12.000 WHOA, that's a lot, Bud. 307 00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:15.359 That's why I said it out loud.

And I think the idea sounds horrific, But 312 00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:32.599 you mix it up with some acidic acid. 313 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:34.160 And and and and and. 314 00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:37.759 Some artificial coloring, and and and some artificial flavoring and 315 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:39.960 boiled chug down three or four cans of that stuff 316 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:43.920 in a day.

I mean, there's quite 351 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:45.839 a few local stories here, but I want to read 352 00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:48.440 the Michael S. Rose He's an opinion contributor to the 353 00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:55.279 Cincinnati Inquirer. February twelfth, editorial opinion Michael OS. Rose, headmaster 354 00:20:55.519 --> 00:21:00.359 at YAY Cincinnati Classical Academy in Reading, also the author 355 00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:04.880 of a book called the Art of Being Human, and 356 00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:10.440 I thought he had some excellent observations about the so 357 00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:12.839 called Nazis that were on the bridge of an Evendale. 358 00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:13.920 Michael S. 359 00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:16.240 Rose, and thank you for the opinion, beer for writing 360 00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:21.359 the opinion, because it's food for thought, as he writes. 361 00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:23.480 Across Ohigland, recently in the Cincinnti area, that is a 362 00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:26.880 disturbing phenomenon has emerged. A group of masked men clad 363 00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.079 in black uniforms taking the public streets, waving swastika flags 364 00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:34.480 and shouting racial appithets throughout through bullhorns. Their inflammatory actions 365 00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:40.519 have understandably john widespread condemnation, with many labeling them as 366 00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:45.720 neo Nazis. Yet while their theatrics demand on equivocal denunciation, 367 00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:48.680 we must also take a step back and ask a 368 00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:54.359 critical question, who are these people really? It is important 369 00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:57.359 for all people of goodwill to stand united against racism, 370 00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:00.480 racial slurs, and any acts meant to divide our communities. However, 371 00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:06.160 we must also recognize when we are being manipulated. The 372 00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:10.119 anonymity of this group is key. Unlike typical protesters, who 373 00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:13.960 demonstrate in public precisely because they want to be seen 374 00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:17.319 and heard, these individuals hide behind masks, refusing to take 375 00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:21.119 responsibility for their actions. The very nature of their secrecy 376 00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:26.079 suggests that they are not authentic activists, but provocateurs, engaged 377 00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:30.720 in psychological operations designed to sow discord and enmity among us. 378 00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:35.000 History has shown that when bad actors seek to divide 379 00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:37.920 a community, they often do so from the shadows. Anonymity 380 00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:40.799 allows them to operate without accountability, enabling them to create 381 00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:45.359 an illusion of widespread division where little or none exists. 382 00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:48.920 This is precisely why these masked figures chose to waive 383 00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:52.640 symbols in the nineteen thirties and nineteen forties German fascism 384 00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:57.640 in communities where those symbols are neither historically relevant nor 385 00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:02.720 culturally significant. The swastika flag in modern America is not 386 00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:06.079 a symbol of a genuine political movement, but a deliberate 387 00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:12.039 provocation meant to generate outrage and division. Consider the absurdity. 388 00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:15.680 Why would anyone with a genuine belief about white supremacy 389 00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:21.079 heide his identity while marching in broad daylight? Traditional demonstrations, 390 00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:25.839 even controversier ones have participants who are unafraid to stand 391 00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:28.799 behind their words and actions. The fact that no one 392 00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:31.480 seems to know who these masked individuals are, where they 393 00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:34.519 come from, or what their real affiliations might be should 394 00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:40.359 give us all pause. Unfortunately, this type of operation is effective. 395 00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:44.519 The appearance of these groups in Ohio leads the perception 396 00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:48.480 leads to the perception that our communities are more divided 397 00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:51.440 than they truly are. By exploiting media coverage and social 398 00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:56.279 media outrage, these provocateurs ensure their message is amplified far 399 00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:59.720 beyond their numbers, making it seem as though our cities 400 00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:02.759 are in turmoil, when in reality, we are being played. 401 00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:06.200 At its core, this issue is about more than just 402 00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:09.119 a group of massed agitators. It's about how we as 403 00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:13.680 communities respond to attempts to divide us. Those who see 404 00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:16.799 racism and racial slurs where they do not exist, or 405 00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:19.880 fail to recognize when they are being manipulated by provocateurs, 406 00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:23.599 risk playing directly into the hands of those who thrive 407 00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:29.079 on discord. The best response to such provocations is twofold 408 00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:31.880 first to call them out for what they are shameless 409 00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:35.160 attempts to manufacture division, and second, to ensure that our 410 00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:38.480 own words and actions do not give fuel to their fire. 411 00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:43.960 By fostering a culture of respect, accountability, and clear eyed discernment, 412 00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:47.160 we can counteract those to seek to exploit fear and 413 00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:52.319 misunderstanding for their own ends. Ohio'st communities are stronger than this. 414 00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:55.599 The people of Cincinnati and beyond must recognize that our 415 00:24:55.759 --> 00:25:03.680 greatest strength lies in our unity. Notice my pause and 416 00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:09.920 emphasis on those words, because this concept transcends just this 417 00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:16.359 stupid people on the bridge. This unity is what makes 418 00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:19.759 America great and at every turn, in every four and 419 00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:22.359 I'm diverting from his words. I apologize, Michael, and I 420 00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:25.720 just can't resist interjecting these thoughts. And I've been commenting 421 00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:28.759 about this for years. Across this great land of ours, 422 00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:32.720 the pot of division is constantly being stirred. Whether it's 423 00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:36.240 Nazis and Evendale or alleged Nazis and Evendale, or this 424 00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:40.200 nonsensical division that comes about from trying to tell you 425 00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:42.920 that a guy is in fact a girl when he's 426 00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:48.960 a guy, or anything else points a division that can 427 00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:51.559 be stirred and divide us are what is the problem 428 00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:53.920 with our country and why our country is deteriorating, and 429 00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:57.240 there is an ulterior motive to stirring the pot of 430 00:25:57.319 --> 00:26:01.079 division in this country, and and and and taking away 431 00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:08.319 the strength that does in fact lie in our unity. Anyway, 432 00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:13.920 Michael concludes, we cannot allow anonymous agitators to dictate the 433 00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:17.440 narrative or to poison the goodwill that exists among neighbors. 434 00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:20.839 By standing firm in the truth and refusing to be manipulated, 435 00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:23.640 we can ensure that the efforts of these provocateurs fail 436 00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:27.720 and that our communities emerged stronger and more united than ever. 437 00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:32.799 Excellent observations. Michael did a fantastic job, and I appreciate 438 00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:36.079 what you're doing. Five thirty six, five thirty seven, five kres. 439 00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:38.079 The Thalks station stack is stupid coming up next or 440 00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:39.319 phone calls, Feel free to call me. 441 00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:41.039 Right back fifty five KRC. 442 00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:48.480 Yes, And my friend Jeffrey on Facebook is excited.

Anyhow, let's go to the local stories, 448 00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:24.799 or rather, I'm sorry. The stack is stupid as a tradition, 449 00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:28.000 as his tradition, and of course it being Friday, what 450 00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:29.640 is the tradition on Fridays? 451 00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:33.319 Naked people doing stupid. 452 00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:34.319 Things as a tradition. 453 00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:38.440 Gustavo Mendez standing in his bathroom quote in a state 454 00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:44.039 of undressed close quote guess heart is while using a 455 00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:47.880 cannabis vape pen he had just purchased at a licensed 456 00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:51.960 Oregon dispensary when the pen exploded in his hands, injuring 457 00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:54.400 him and causing a small fire. This according to lawsuit 458 00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:58.240 that was fouled this month. He bought the cannabis vape 459 00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:03.319 manufactured marketed by Defending and Quantum Alchemy at a shop 460 00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:08.000 that's identified. Doesn't matter he used the pen only a 461 00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:12.599 handful of times. Well, I know I was waiting for 462 00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:15.599 that Joe, since he was naked and in a matter 463 00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:18.200 for which it was designed. Of course that was in 464 00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:20.799 the complaint. He noticed the pen and become hot to 465 00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:23.759 the touch in February thirteenth of twenty twenty three. Lawsuit 466 00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:25.839 just filed this week ar this year or a couple 467 00:28:25.880 --> 00:28:26.279 of weeks ago. 468 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:27.079 A week ago. 469 00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:29.799 Penninet exploded in his hands when the bave pen exploded 470 00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:32.440 because thermal and chemical burns the parts of the plane 471 00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:35.039 OF's body, including but not limited to his eyes, his torso, 472 00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:41.799 and his penis.

Anyway, that's the defense and I'm just offering it. Mendes, 477 00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:01.480 represented by Clark and Law Associates, suing Highway ninety nine, 478 00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:04.720 the store in Quantum Alcony for passing future medical expenses, 479 00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:07.440 twenty thousand dollars in property damage caused to his bathroom 480 00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:13.079 that seems outrageous, and fifty one, five hundred and ninety 481 00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:16.240 six dollars in economic damages from lost wages very specific amount. 482 00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:18.319 They're also looking for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars 483 00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:21.039 in non economic damages to make him whole from the pain, 484 00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:24.400 suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, life disruptions, embarrassment, 485 00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:30.559 and inconvenience.

Anyhow, 494 00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:01.640 I guess that kind of th thing happens. That's why 495 00:30:01.680 --> 00:30:07.640 airplanes say do not put those devices in your stowed baggage, 496 00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:12.640 your check baggage. If a fire starts, they want it 497 00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:14.759 to happen in the overhead compartment so we can all 498 00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:16.720 be aware of it before the plane goes down. Oh 499 00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:19.079 there we are talking about airlines and problems on airlines 500 00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:21.319 against five forty five fifty five krst thak station.

Fast forward an hour. Todd Zenzer, 633 00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:41.599 a former Inspector General. He'll be in studio. The Citizen 634 00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:46.280 Watchdog is Todd Zinser. He will explain what Rising fifteen 635 00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:49.280 is and as Joe Strecker on the Rundown describes it, 636 00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:53.199 the shenanigans related to it, and a new YouTube channel 637 00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:57.000 you can check out Citizen Watchdog with Todd Enzer. Right 638 00:37:57.679 --> 00:38:00.000 fast forward two hours, George Brunnember returns of the program, 639 00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:02.559 and we'll get his thoughts on RFK Junior's appointment. 640 00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:03.199 It went through. 641 00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:06.719 He is our new healthcare zar and how is the 642 00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:10.360 Restore Wellness initiative going on? He launched that in an 643 00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:13.920 effort to bring awareness about well better health, better food, 644 00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:16.639 and kind of along the lines of rfk's appointment, and 645 00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:19.199 I think he's probably pretty excited about it, and I 646 00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:21.159 am too. I don't need to go back through it. 647 00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:22.559 I went through it in the last hour, but I 648 00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:26.400 do observe that we need more awareness, we need information, 649 00:38:26.679 --> 00:38:30.800 we need real information about what's in food. We're putting 650 00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:34.039 into our bodies. And you know what, I'm happy there's 651 00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:38.119 a polio vaccine and I'm glad I got it. I'm 652 00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:40.840 not anti vaccine at all. I didn't get a COVID shot, 653 00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:43.320 and I'm glad I didn't do that. And you know 654 00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:46.519 what's with Children's hospital denying transplant surgery to a kid 655 00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:49.119 just because the kid didn't get the COVID nineteen shot. 656 00:38:50.519 --> 00:38:52.880 Don't the statistics bear out that people who don't have 657 00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:57.000 comorbid conditions don't need COVID nineteen shots, and children are very, 658 00:38:57.159 --> 00:39:05.440 very very unlikely to succumb to the illness. And doctor 659 00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:09.679 Fauci was an unelected bureaucrat with a lot of power 660 00:39:09.719 --> 00:39:12.800 and a lot of authority, and she's picking and choosing 661 00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:14.880 those unelected officials that we want to make fun of 662 00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:17.840 or criticize or condemn. And when you got a man 663 00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:20.960 who's an unelected bureaucrat, who doesn't need a salary, who 664 00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:23.320 doesn't have to have that job, who's willing to do 665 00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:27.800 it for free, and who is a king at ferreting 666 00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:31.599 out fraud, waste and abuse. And you know, billionaire Elon Musk, 667 00:39:31.639 --> 00:39:33.559 and every article you read, you got to see that 668 00:39:33.599 --> 00:39:38.400 They can't. They can't deprive you or the world of 669 00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:40.719 reminding you that he's a billionaire. But ask yourself, well, 670 00:39:40.719 --> 00:39:43.719 why is Elon Musk a billionaire? Because his giant brain 671 00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:47.039 helped create business and industries that people love, and he 672 00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:50.079 honed those businesses and industries down and made them lean, 673 00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:56.119 efficient businesses. That was my conversation yesterday with Dennis Neil 674 00:39:56.159 --> 00:39:59.079 in his book The Leadership Genius of Elon Musk. What 675 00:39:59.079 --> 00:40:01.360 do you had that he made a billion dollars on 676 00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:05.920 it through his own efforts. Guy doesn't even own a mansion. 677 00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:09.760 He owns a one of his tiny houses that apparently 678 00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:10.639 is collapsible. 679 00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:11.199 That is keate. 680 00:40:11.320 --> 00:40:13.800 Neil revealed that yesterday, and I knew he didn't live 681 00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:16.519 in a big house. He doesn't. He doesn't own a yacht. 682 00:40:16.519 --> 00:40:18.440 He doesn't go flaunt his money to anybody. 683 00:40:18.440 --> 00:40:22.000 He sat. He camps out at other people's houses regularly. 684 00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:26.880 Anyway over the Wall Street Journal. 685 00:40:26.960 --> 00:40:28.519 Sorry standing on the shoulders of giants. 686 00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:32.000 But so you want proof of government fraud, And I'll 687 00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:34.559 go back to kat tips point on Guttfeldt Show last night. 688 00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:38.920 This this this democrat's crazy behavior and the screaming and 689 00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:41.119 yelling at the plug being pulled out of all the fraud, waste, 690 00:40:41.119 --> 00:40:44.239 and abuse. You know the it's it's the husband screaming 691 00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:48.239 at his wife for violating his privacy while she confronts 692 00:40:48.280 --> 00:40:50.960 him with evidence of him having an affair on his 693 00:40:51.039 --> 00:40:54.440 cell phone. He's mad because she apparently didn't trust him 694 00:40:54.519 --> 00:40:57.679 enough that she went rifling through his cell phone. So 695 00:40:57.800 --> 00:41:00.760 the object of the discussion him having an affair is 696 00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:03.760 overlooked by the topic of her looking at her phone 697 00:41:03.800 --> 00:41:07.159 in the first place. Yeah, I thought that was a 698 00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:12.280 beautiful analogy. Anyway, Editorial Board, Remember when eliminating government waste 699 00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:15.280 fraud abuse was a bipartisan goal. Well, now that Elon 700 00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:17.159 Musk is trying to do that, I should have put 701 00:41:17.159 --> 00:41:20.159 billionaire in there, because the journal didn't. Democrats and the 702 00:41:20.199 --> 00:41:23.000 Friends and the press say his Department of Government Efficiency 703 00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:28.199 is tilting at windmills. New York Times headline this week, 704 00:41:28.360 --> 00:41:32.840 quote at Oval office must makes broad claims of federal 705 00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:38.719 fraud without proof. The White House retorted quote, Apparently the 706 00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:42.159 Times and other like minded outlets lack access to a 707 00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:44.639 new fangled research tool called Google. 708 00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:47.760 No proof of fraud. How much do you want? 709 00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:52.239 A Government Accountability Office report last spring estimated the federal government. 710 00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:55.199 This is in the Government Accountability Office, not coming from DOGE. 711 00:41:56.679 --> 00:42:00.639 It's the GAO and its last spring. So it was 712 00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:06.719 under the Biden administration, all right. In their words, the 713 00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:09.280 federal government could lose between two hundred and thirty three 714 00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:12.320 billion and five hundred and twenty one billion dollars annually 715 00:42:12.400 --> 00:42:16.639 to fraud. A federal auditor said a government wide approach 716 00:42:16.760 --> 00:42:20.119 is required to address it and recommended that the Treasury, 717 00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:24.159 again in their words, leverage data analytics capabilities to stop 718 00:42:24.280 --> 00:42:31.199 questionable payments. That's what DOGE is trying to do. The 719 00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:35.800 GAO earlier again, Biden administration estimated that eleven to fifteen 720 00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:39.320 percent of unemployment benefits during the pandemic were fraudulent totally, 721 00:42:39.320 --> 00:42:41.800 between one hundred billion and one hundred and thirty five 722 00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:47.039 billion dollars. Some went to transitional gangs, prisoners, state sponsored hackers. 723 00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:49.719 The Labor Departments Inspector General estimated at least one hundred 724 00:42:49.719 --> 00:42:55.360 and ninety one billion in improper pandemic unemployment payments. The 725 00:42:55.400 --> 00:42:58.079 Secret Service found hackers linked to the Chinese government stole 726 00:42:58.119 --> 00:43:01.440 at least twenty million in COVID benefits. A pandemic employee 727 00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:05.800 Retention Tax Credit, the ERTC has been another ripe target. 728 00:43:05.800 --> 00:43:09.679 According to the Internal Revenue Service, a California prisoner claimed 729 00:43:09.719 --> 00:43:15.039 more than five hundred and fifty million dollars from the ERTC. 730 00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:20.199 The IRS pause processing of new ERTC claims in twenty 731 00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:25.119 twenty three. Bien administration, because of rampant fraud, initially estimated 732 00:43:25.119 --> 00:43:28.559 a fifty five billion dollars The program's costs a balloon 733 00:43:28.599 --> 00:43:32.280 to two hundred and thirty billion dollars in counting one 734 00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:37.639 culprit Outdated government IT systems that lack fraud controls, such 735 00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:42.960 as identity verification agencies, also don't internally share data that 736 00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:49.400 could identify red flags. Congress in twenty twenty one, note, 737 00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:53.039 the administration authorized the pilot program that gave the Treasury 738 00:43:53.079 --> 00:43:57.119 access to the Social Security Administration's full death master file 739 00:43:57.239 --> 00:44:01.599 to prevent payments to dead people. The Biden Treasury last 740 00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:05.119 month said that this prevented and recovered thirty one million 741 00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:07.719 dollars in improper payments in fraud over five months, which 742 00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:11.079 it called just the tip of the iceberg. Note the 743 00:44:11.119 --> 00:44:17.719 administration better financial controls, technology and data sharing could reduce 744 00:44:17.800 --> 00:44:21.079 IRS's improper payments, including the earned income tax cres. That 745 00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:25.519 credit estimated at thirty three and a half percent, Obamacare 746 00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:30.079 Net Premium tax Credit twenty six percent, the refundable portion 747 00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:32.440 of the Child Tax Credit fourteen and a half percent, 748 00:44:33.239 --> 00:44:36.119 and the Education Tax Credit thirty one point six percent. 749 00:44:36.159 --> 00:44:42.079 These as those estimates come from the Biden Treasury Inspector 750 00:44:42.119 --> 00:44:49.760 General for Tax Administration. Notice a trend here the irs 751 00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:52.880 Improper payments increased under Biden, no doubt, because it's harder 752 00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:55.360 to stop fraud when so much more money is flying 753 00:44:55.400 --> 00:44:59.280 out the door. Biden officials also eased income verifications for 754 00:44:59.360 --> 00:45:03.039 Obamacare subsidies, Medicaid, and other welfare programs. The Health and 755 00:45:03.119 --> 00:45:07.320 Human Services Department last year estimated eighty five billion dollars 756 00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:12.000 in improper payments in Medicare and Medicaid, again last year 757 00:45:12.239 --> 00:45:18.639 identified under the Biden administration. It's ironic, to say the least. 758 00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:23.559 The Democrats have lambasted the peer to peer Payments APT 759 00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:27.079 ZELL for not doing enough to prevent fraud on its network. 760 00:45:29.800 --> 00:45:35.320 Zell's estimated fraud weight rate ready zero point one percent, 761 00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:40.000 which is apparently ninety nine percent lower than the goal 762 00:45:40.039 --> 00:45:43.480 for government programs, which many agencies do not achieve. Maybe 763 00:45:43.519 --> 00:45:46.440 they need to know your customer rules so they don't 764 00:45:46.480 --> 00:45:50.599 send money to criminals. The political left's hostility to Musk's 765 00:45:50.639 --> 00:45:55.920 anti fraud campaign is hard to understand, but the partisan 766 00:45:56.000 --> 00:45:58.840 times are such that if mister Musk said the sky's blue, 767 00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:05.639 liberals would probably say he has no proof. Sorry, state 768 00:46:05.639 --> 00:46:10.119 of affairs, folks, extraordinarily sorry, state of affairs. 769 00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:11.360 Whose side do. 770 00:46:11.360 --> 00:46:15.159 You want on this six fifteen to fifty five kerricytalk station, Steve, 771 00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:17.280 I promise you you'll be first out of the gate 772 00:46:17.280 --> 00:46:18.519 when we get back, but I got to take a 773 00:46:18.519 --> 00:46:20.320 break at is six fifteen, and I do want to 774 00:46:20.400 --> 00:46:26.440 strongly encourage you to save money, which is I grew 775 00:46:26.480 --> 00:46:29.880 up on the West Side. I'm a Dulhesian. You search 776 00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:32.639 for areas to save money when it comes to car repairs, 777 00:46:32.679 --> 00:46:35.440 and you know how expensive car repairs are getting, and 778 00:46:35.519 --> 00:46:40.119 have gotten foreign exchange. You got an imported car from 779 00:46:40.119 --> 00:46:43.000 a traditional import manufacturer, just take it to foreign exchange. 780 00:46:43.159 --> 00:46:45.760 I assure you you will save money over the dealer cost. 781 00:46:46.320 --> 00:46:50.199 That's the reason for foreign exchange existence. They're fantastic with 782 00:46:50.320 --> 00:46:53.559 customer service. Your car will be worked on and repaired 783 00:46:53.639 --> 00:46:55.920 with a full warranty on parts and service by an 784 00:46:55.920 --> 00:46:59.480 AS certified Master technician who you can actually talk to, 785 00:46:59.519 --> 00:47:01.039 and you can't do that at a dealer. They got 786 00:47:01.039 --> 00:47:03.239 that service manager standing between you and the person who 787 00:47:03.280 --> 00:47:04.719 actually does the work on the car. But if you 788 00:47:04.719 --> 00:47:06.400 want to talk to the person that works on your car, 789 00:47:06.880 --> 00:47:11.599 like I do. Foreign Exchange Westchester, that's where we go, 790 00:47:11.800 --> 00:47:14.920 my wife and I, my daughter, my son, Westchester location 791 00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:17.239 for the imported cars. That's a Tylersville exit off of 792 00:47:17.280 --> 00:47:19.679 I seventy five. Just head east off that exit two 793 00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:21.719 streets and hang a right on Kingland. I think there's 794 00:47:21.719 --> 00:47:23.480 a chicken joint right there on the corner there, but 795 00:47:23.480 --> 00:47:25.519 it's Kinglind Drive and it's just a short jog off 796 00:47:25.559 --> 00:47:28.360 the the off ramp there. Uh, And you'll run right 797 00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:29.800 into it and tell him, Brian said, Hi.

You'll 802 00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:41.800 find them online at Foreign X four in the letter. 803 00:47:41.800 --> 00:47:43.360 X dot com. 804 00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:45.719 Fifty five KR six six twenty. 805 00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:49.199 Fifty five KCV talk station, Happy Valentine's Day, and a 806 00:47:49.199 --> 00:47:53.559 happy Friday five one three seven, fify five hundred eight 807 00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:58.639 hunredy two three talk anybody else happy it's Friday, David. Yeah, 808 00:47:58.679 --> 00:48:00.840 I can always expect agreement from him. He's got no 809 00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:02.840 say in the matter. He can't call in and contradict 810 00:48:02.920 --> 00:48:05.920 himself because he's dead. Anyway, where the phones would go, 811 00:48:05.920 --> 00:48:08.119 I promised Tevi'd be first, Richard, hang on, I understand 812 00:48:08.159 --> 00:48:09.480 you have a really good point to make. Welcome to 813 00:48:09.519 --> 00:48:11.440 the program, Steve. It's good to hear from this morning. 814 00:48:12.199 --> 00:48:14.239 I have a really good point to make too. I 815 00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:17.599 hope I want to take fIF fifteen seconds here. But 816 00:48:17.840 --> 00:48:21.360 the problem is they're worried about people having influence that 817 00:48:21.840 --> 00:48:26.199 nobody voted on. I believe the most important person, or 818 00:48:26.239 --> 00:48:31.079 the most powerful person in the president's inner circle is 819 00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:35.639 his chief of staff, who he appoints. And I'm ninety 820 00:48:35.719 --> 00:48:38.559 nine percent certain. I don't even think they need Senate 821 00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:40.119 Senate confirmation. 822 00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:41.320 I believe that is correct. 823 00:48:41.360 --> 00:48:42.159 There's not a more. 824 00:48:42.119 --> 00:48:45.519 Powerful person than the chief of staff that sets the agenda, 825 00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:50.039 controls access to the president. But you know, again, Elon's 826 00:48:50.039 --> 00:48:52.519 in the news now. He's finding things they didn't want 827 00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:54.440 you to know about. So that's who they're upset about. 828 00:48:54.639 --> 00:48:57.280 That's you too, Steve. I appreciate the call. You forgot 829 00:48:57.280 --> 00:49:04.159 to say billionaire Elon Musk and Joe interjects and Nazi Richard, 830 00:49:04.199 --> 00:49:06.440 welcome to the show. Good to hear from you today. 831 00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:10.199 Hey, Brian, Hey, thanks for taking the call. I listened 832 00:49:10.239 --> 00:49:11.559 to you just about every morning. 833 00:49:11.840 --> 00:49:13.440 Thank you, sir. I really appreciate it. 834 00:49:13.800 --> 00:49:14.360 Great job. 835 00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:17.039 So I called. 836 00:49:17.079 --> 00:49:18.960 I was talking to your call spinner. I called because, 837 00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:21.920 uh I heard I saw you heard you mentioned JD. 838 00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:26.360 Vance and how one of his relatives. I forget exactly 839 00:49:26.360 --> 00:49:28.679 if it's a niece or something you might know better. 840 00:49:28.800 --> 00:49:30.159 Yeah, I didn't mention JD. 841 00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:33.880 But I am aware that there is some familial relationship 842 00:49:33.920 --> 00:49:36.320 between the child that was denied a transplant because she 843 00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:39.360 didn't have the COVID vaccine, among others, and JD. 844 00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:39.840 Vance. 845 00:49:39.880 --> 00:49:43.280 But I think that's immaterial to the broader discussion of 846 00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:45.760 how come a child can't get a transplant because she 847 00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:47.400 doesn't have or he. I don't know if it's a 848 00:49:47.400 --> 00:49:49.039 matter of a girl or a boy doesn't have the 849 00:49:49.119 --> 00:49:51.800 COVID shot exactly. 850 00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:55.679 So I called his actually work at children, Oh okay, 851 00:49:55.760 --> 00:49:58.039 and they put out an they put out an internal 852 00:49:58.079 --> 00:50:01.840 memo and it had had a bunch of other legal 853 00:50:01.960 --> 00:50:05.719 jargon on there, but basically they had said that they 854 00:50:06.039 --> 00:50:09.000 they didn't specifically allude to the JD Van's case, but 855 00:50:09.039 --> 00:50:13.639 they had said that they evaluate every organ transplant, uh, 856 00:50:13.679 --> 00:50:17.559 and they make the best decision for the kid themselves, 857 00:50:18.039 --> 00:50:19.960 just like they did with the COVID shots. They make 858 00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:23.920 the best decision themselves to decide whether they should go 859 00:50:23.960 --> 00:50:26.639 through with the transplant or not, you know, based upon 860 00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:30.079 their assessment. So the point the point being, like they 861 00:50:30.119 --> 00:50:33.400 did with the COVID shots, they take the choice away 862 00:50:33.519 --> 00:50:36.920 from the family and the parents, yeah, to make that 863 00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:39.760 choice to say, we know the risks, but we're gonna 864 00:50:39.800 --> 00:50:42.119 take them anyway. And it's the just like they did 865 00:50:42.119 --> 00:50:46.119 with the COVID shots, they forced people to they. 866 00:50:46.920 --> 00:50:49.440 I'm just is the word irony? 867 00:50:49.800 --> 00:50:50.039 You know. 868 00:50:50.079 --> 00:50:51.719 One of the one of the problems that the COVID 869 00:50:51.719 --> 00:50:55.599 shots revealed, one of the side effects is heart problems. 870 00:50:56.039 --> 00:50:59.840 Are we talking about a heart transplant here? I think 871 00:51:00.639 --> 00:51:02.320 let that just process that one. 872 00:51:02.440 --> 00:51:06.199 Richard, I mean, Lord almighty, thank you so much for 873 00:51:06.199 --> 00:51:11.719 shedding additional insight information on this situation. I mean, all right, 874 00:51:11.760 --> 00:51:14.440 so here's the timeline. They create a virus in a 875 00:51:14.519 --> 00:51:18.280 lab that is deadly to some human beings, and it 876 00:51:18.280 --> 00:51:19.960 should have been created in the first place. It gets 877 00:51:20.039 --> 00:51:22.480 unleashed on the globe and millions of people ultimately die 878 00:51:22.599 --> 00:51:26.320 from it. They rush a vaccine and under an emergency 879 00:51:26.440 --> 00:51:29.840 use authorization and then force millions of people to do 880 00:51:29.880 --> 00:51:32.639 something they might otherwise not do, and that's without information 881 00:51:32.679 --> 00:51:36.000 about the side effects and no ability to seek legal 882 00:51:36.079 --> 00:51:39.400 recourse because of emergency use authorization. It should you become 883 00:51:39.480 --> 00:51:42.679 harmed by the vaccine for things that they didn't disclose 884 00:51:42.679 --> 00:51:46.559 about it, making the pharmaceutical companies literally millions and millions 885 00:51:46.599 --> 00:51:49.840 of dollars, and now they refuse to disclose any records 886 00:51:49.880 --> 00:51:51.960 about it. Get a load of this one real quick. Here, 887 00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:53.800 I can put an exclamation point on this whole thing. 888 00:51:53.840 --> 00:51:57.000 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit was filed on behalf of 889 00:51:57.039 --> 00:52:00.000 the Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency. This lawsuit 890 00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:02.599 file back on twenty twenty one. When they refuse to 891 00:52:02.639 --> 00:52:05.400 turn over information, pursue into a foyer request. This is 892 00:52:05.400 --> 00:52:08.719 the FDA, give me the documents. I have a legal 893 00:52:08.800 --> 00:52:11.360 right to get them. That's what the FOYA says. And 894 00:52:11.440 --> 00:52:13.119 so they didn't. So that's when you go to court, 895 00:52:13.159 --> 00:52:15.920 and of course a judge orders you to produce them. Right, 896 00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:21.519 this entity wanted documents the FDA relied on in approving 897 00:52:21.559 --> 00:52:25.440 Pfizer's vaccine. In November twenty one, the agency said it 898 00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:28.599 would release five hundred pages per month, which would mean 899 00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:31.960 it would take seventy five years to ultimately get all 900 00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:36.199 of them. January twenty two, District Judge Mark Pittman of 901 00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:39.760 Texas rejected that proposal and ordered them to expedite the 902 00:52:39.760 --> 00:52:42.360 release fifty five thousand pages a month, aiming to complete 903 00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:45.039 the whole disclosure of four hundred and fifty thousand pages. 904 00:52:45.159 --> 00:52:48.079 Keep that number of mind. By August of twenty two. 905 00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:54.519 As the documents were rolling out, researchers began uncovering glaring gaps, 906 00:52:54.559 --> 00:52:59.119 preventing a systemic review of the data, fueling suspicions about 907 00:52:59.159 --> 00:53:03.440 what else the FADA might be withholding. According to the 908 00:53:03.480 --> 00:53:10.239 reporting from the Brownston Institute Marianne Demassi props, it became 909 00:53:10.280 --> 00:53:13.920 evident that the FDA withheld records directly tied to its 910 00:53:13.960 --> 00:53:17.599 emergency youth authorization of Pfiser's vaccine, estimated to beat over 911 00:53:17.760 --> 00:53:21.559 one million pages, not the four hundred and fifty thousand 912 00:53:21.639 --> 00:53:25.480 dollars one thousand that they said they had documents which 913 00:53:25.519 --> 00:53:28.719 the FDA had full knowledge of, were excluded from earlier disclosures, 914 00:53:28.719 --> 00:53:34.760 effectively misleading the judiciary and undermining public trust. According to 915 00:53:34.760 --> 00:53:37.360 the attorney, the FDA has been hiding millions of pages 916 00:53:37.400 --> 00:53:39.519 from the Court, the planets, and the public. Only those 917 00:53:39.679 --> 00:53:44.119 concerned about the truth seek to conceal evidence. The FDA 918 00:53:44.199 --> 00:53:46.880 here has clearly concerned about the truth and lacks confidence 919 00:53:46.920 --> 00:53:49.239 in the review that it conducted the license Pfizer's COVID 920 00:53:49.320 --> 00:53:52.519 nineteen vaccine because it's doing everything possible to prevent independent 921 00:53:52.559 --> 00:53:59.639 scientists from conducting an independent review. In his ruling, Judge 922 00:53:59.639 --> 00:54:04.360 Pittman's latest ruling, quoting Patrick Henry, the liberties of a 923 00:54:04.519 --> 00:54:08.000 people never were, nor will ever be secure when the 924 00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:12.159 transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them. In 925 00:54:12.199 --> 00:54:15.719 his order, Pitman concluded, the COVID nineteen pandemics long past, 926 00:54:15.800 --> 00:54:18.280 and so is any legitimate reason for concealing from the 927 00:54:18.280 --> 00:54:21.920 American people the information relied upon by the government in 928 00:54:21.960 --> 00:54:26.280 approving the Pfizer vaccine. According to the latest order of 929 00:54:26.280 --> 00:54:28.679 the additional documents slated to be released by June of 930 00:54:28.800 --> 00:54:34.679 next year. Don't hold your breath. Tech Friday's Day of 931 00:54:34.679 --> 00:54:37.480 Hatter coming up next first Affordable Medical Imaging. Thinking of 932 00:54:37.519 --> 00:54:42.320 things medical think about affordable imaging services. It's a great 933 00:54:42.440 --> 00:54:45.519 place to go. The prices are absolutely amazing compared to 934 00:54:45.559 --> 00:54:49.199 the Hospital Imaging Department MRI, CT scans, echo cardiograms. There's 935 00:54:49.280 --> 00:54:52.960 not a single scan that even comes close to even 936 00:54:53.000 --> 00:54:55.239 one thousand dollars, where a CT scan at a hospital 937 00:54:55.360 --> 00:54:58.679 or an ultra sounate the hospital will be thousands of dollars. 938 00:54:59.480 --> 00:55:02.440 Echocar at hospitals probably set you back at least two 939 00:55:02.519 --> 00:55:07.400 thousand dollars. So every scan of affordable imaging services comes 940 00:55:07.480 --> 00:55:09.800 with a board certified radiologist report that you and your 941 00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:12.159 doctor will both get within forty eight hours. There is 942 00:55:12.280 --> 00:55:16.079 no legitimate difference between the Equipment's the same kind of 943 00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:19.719 equipment hospitals use. It's just very low overhead. Don't expect 944 00:55:19.760 --> 00:55:21.920 bells and whistless. Just expect to get a proper scan 945 00:55:22.079 --> 00:55:26.880 and a proper imaging report. That's what it's all about. 946 00:55:26.920 --> 00:55:28.400 You have choice when it comes to your medical care. 947 00:55:28.400 --> 00:55:31.559 Your new out of pocket liability. It's a new calendar 948 00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:34.119 year folks, it's coming out of your pockets. Don't do 949 00:55:34.199 --> 00:55:36.840 that to yourselves.

Welcome back, Dave Hatter, my friend. 963 00:56:17.119 --> 00:56:18.960 It's always a pleasure to have you on my program. 964 00:56:19.559 --> 00:56:21.760 Always my pleasure to be here, Brian, look forward to 965 00:56:21.800 --> 00:56:22.320 it every week. 966 00:56:22.559 --> 00:56:24.320 Well, and I'm just kind of upset that you didn't 967 00:56:24.360 --> 00:56:27.039 bring up this first topic earlier because the article that 968 00:56:27.079 --> 00:56:29.159 you sent me that I read when you first sent 969 00:56:29.199 --> 00:56:30.920 it to me, Because thank you for the emails. I know, 970 00:56:30.960 --> 00:56:32.719 I don't always respond to my emails. I get it, 971 00:56:32.840 --> 00:56:36.000 just a ton of them every day. But spike in 972 00:56:36.159 --> 00:56:42.360 GF GPS spoofing attacks hits passenger planes, This is scary stuff. 973 00:56:42.440 --> 00:56:44.000 Dave Hatter h. 974 00:56:44.079 --> 00:56:47.039 Yeah, Brian, I could not agree with you more. I 975 00:56:47.079 --> 00:56:50.320 think it's pretty scary, and apparently it's been going on 976 00:56:50.440 --> 00:56:52.440 for a while. I don't know why it's taken so 977 00:56:52.519 --> 00:56:55.280 long to hit the mainstream press, because to your point, 978 00:56:54.840 --> 00:56:59.920 that oarticle is from back in August, I don't fly all, 979 00:57:00.320 --> 00:57:02.519 don't really like to fly, you know, I'll do it, 980 00:57:02.880 --> 00:57:07.360 don't really enjoy it. And when you read stories like this, 981 00:57:07.480 --> 00:57:09.519 it just makes you that much more concerned. I mean, 982 00:57:09.599 --> 00:57:12.519 before we get into the specifics of this. To me, 983 00:57:12.719 --> 00:57:15.400 this just is further reinforcement for something you and I 984 00:57:15.480 --> 00:57:17.199 have been talking about it for a long time, which 985 00:57:17.239 --> 00:57:21.920 is our society is increasingly digital and the infrastructure that 986 00:57:22.000 --> 00:57:25.559 makes it all work is really fragile. All this stuff 987 00:57:25.639 --> 00:57:28.880 was developed, you know, somewhere between the sixties and the eighties, 988 00:57:29.519 --> 00:57:33.199 when security wasn't a concern, privacy wasn't a concern, there 989 00:57:33.239 --> 00:57:35.800 was limited access to the technology that makes all of 990 00:57:35.800 --> 00:57:38.880 this stuff work. And then over time people are like, hey, 991 00:57:39.719 --> 00:57:43.199 this particular technology could do this cool thing, right, and 992 00:57:43.239 --> 00:57:46.320 then you know, it's sort of expanded it's feelers into 993 00:57:46.360 --> 00:57:50.559 more and more things. And I'm not talking about GPS specifically, 994 00:57:50.639 --> 00:57:55.360 I'm just saying in general, everything became digital. The Internet 995 00:57:55.599 --> 00:57:59.119 started to connect things, business processes that used to take 996 00:57:59.159 --> 00:58:02.440 place in the world on paper, et cetera. It became digital. 997 00:58:02.920 --> 00:58:05.119 And to me, this is just one more example where 998 00:58:05.559 --> 00:58:09.920 our whole infrastructure is very fragile. It's based on old 999 00:58:09.960 --> 00:58:13.480 technology again, where security was not a concern when this 1000 00:58:13.519 --> 00:58:16.719 stuff was built, and now we're starting to see how 1001 00:58:16.960 --> 00:58:19.639 that wasn't such a good plan. And when you look 1002 00:58:19.679 --> 00:58:22.119 at this GPS thing. So I'm just going from this 1003 00:58:22.119 --> 00:58:29.440 this article. You know, apparently there are numerous GPS spoofing attacks. 1004 00:58:29.599 --> 00:58:33.280 It's easy to do because the GPS signal used for 1005 00:58:33.320 --> 00:58:37.119 commercial purposes isn't encrypted. And I mean the real bottom 1006 00:58:37.159 --> 00:58:41.840 line is, if I can have a GPS transmitter that's 1007 00:58:41.880 --> 00:58:44.199 more powerful than the signal that's being sent down from 1008 00:58:44.199 --> 00:58:48.280 the satellites, which frankly is very very low powered, I 1009 00:58:48.320 --> 00:58:51.559 can basically override it and fool the GPS devices within 1010 00:58:51.599 --> 00:58:54.840 that range into you know, having something that's not a 1011 00:58:54.880 --> 00:58:58.159 correct reading, you know. Either this has been a problem 1012 00:58:58.159 --> 00:59:00.840 for ships as well, apparently, and there's some speculation that 1013 00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:02.599 some of these ships that have run aground or that 1014 00:59:02.639 --> 00:59:05.440 big ship that got stuck in the Panama Canal may 1015 00:59:05.480 --> 00:59:07.920 have had a you know, could have been a cyber attack. 1016 00:59:08.039 --> 00:59:11.039 Maybe is this a cyber attack? I would argue it is. 1017 00:59:11.039 --> 00:59:13.320 Is this a cyber attack that could cause that kind 1018 00:59:13.360 --> 00:59:13.599 of thing? 1019 00:59:13.719 --> 00:59:14.320 Yeah, it is. 1020 00:59:14.920 --> 00:59:16.760 And when you look at the stats in here, right, So, 1021 00:59:16.800 --> 00:59:20.039 according to this article surgeon GPS attacks highlighted in July 1022 00:59:20.360 --> 00:59:23.960 of last year, significant spike and GPS spoofing over the 1023 00:59:24.039 --> 00:59:27.119 last few months, with an increasing impact on flight safety. 1024 00:59:27.199 --> 00:59:29.480 Number of flights effected has risen from an average of 1025 00:59:29.480 --> 00:59:32.280 wait for it, two hundred daily in the period of 1026 00:59:32.360 --> 00:59:36.079 January to March to around nine hundred daily. Nine hundred 1027 00:59:36.480 --> 00:59:40.320 flights have been impacted by GPS spoofing in the second 1028 00:59:40.400 --> 00:59:42.679 quarter of twenty twenty four, and they say on some 1029 00:59:42.760 --> 00:59:44.920 days as many as thirteen hundred and fifty flights have 1030 00:59:45.039 --> 00:59:45.880 encountered spoofing. 1031 00:59:46.480 --> 00:59:49.480 And those numbers, yeah, you only imagine, have increased dramatically 1032 00:59:49.559 --> 00:59:52.079 since August of twenty four, when that article is written. 1033 00:59:52.960 --> 00:59:54.599 I would think so. I mean, you know, they go 1034 00:59:54.639 --> 00:59:57.280 on to say this four hundred percent increasing GPS attacks 1035 00:59:57.559 --> 01:00:00.400 relates to the wider GPS ecosystem itself front of than 1036 01:00:00.400 --> 01:00:04.159 targeting specific aircraft. And you know, they mentioned that this 1037 01:00:04.239 --> 01:00:08.079 is even more common around conflict zones where you know, 1038 01:00:09.280 --> 01:00:11.559 places like in the Middle East and so forth. Sure, 1039 01:00:11.800 --> 01:00:16.159 I agree with you, very scary, very scary. There's no 1040 01:00:16.320 --> 01:00:19.199 simple fix for this because of the nature of the 1041 01:00:19.239 --> 01:00:21.119 way this works, other than you know, we have to 1042 01:00:21.159 --> 01:00:25.639 build systems that are secure by design. That's this is 1043 01:00:25.679 --> 01:00:30.079 a cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency initiative which I fully support. 1044 01:00:30.199 --> 01:00:33.440 We need software and systems that are designed to be 1045 01:00:33.599 --> 01:00:36.679 secure from the beginning, not somewhere later. It's like, oh, 1046 01:00:36.800 --> 01:00:38.920 you know, probably be a good idea if we build 1047 01:00:38.920 --> 01:00:39.840 some security into this. 1048 01:00:40.119 --> 01:00:41.039 Well, no kidding. 1049 01:00:41.320 --> 01:00:41.599 You know. 1050 01:00:43.360 --> 01:00:46.159 Jay rale Off yesterday talking about the air traffic control 1051 01:00:46.199 --> 01:00:49.280 systems like fifty years old or something like that, some 1052 01:00:49.320 --> 01:00:51.880 of them still using those old giant floppy This not 1053 01:00:51.920 --> 01:00:54.559 even the five and a quarter ones legacy systems that 1054 01:00:54.599 --> 01:00:56.480 people don't even know how to use anymore, and that 1055 01:00:56.519 --> 01:00:58.159 needs to be updated and everybody knows it needs to 1056 01:00:58.159 --> 01:00:59.880 be updated. He said it would probably take like six 1057 01:01:00.239 --> 01:01:02.920 years to get it updated if they finally got the 1058 01:01:02.960 --> 01:01:05.599 allocation of fundings and started the initiative to do it 1059 01:01:05.599 --> 01:01:08.079 in the first place. Can you imagine the GPS system? 1060 01:01:08.400 --> 01:01:09.199 Jeez, Louise. 1061 01:01:09.639 --> 01:01:12.320 Thanks, I'm really comfortable about flying, even more so than 1062 01:01:12.320 --> 01:01:14.199 it was before you came on the program. There, Dave 1063 01:01:14.480 --> 01:01:16.320 got to take a break at six thirty six, we'll 1064 01:01:16.360 --> 01:01:20.480 bring you back to talk about well information found on 1065 01:01:20.519 --> 01:01:23.199 titter leads to a local woman being stalked. 1066 01:01:24.400 --> 01:01:25.679 Yeah, Twitter. 1067 01:01:29.039 --> 01:01:34.880 Tender whatever, Sorry, I thought you were giving me a 1068 01:01:34.880 --> 01:01:38.920 hard time of mispronouncing Twitter, Joe. Considering the subject matter 1069 01:01:39.000 --> 01:01:40.880 of the discussion, We're gonna have twenty two to three 1070 01:01:40.920 --> 01:01:43.239 a Friday night date night.

Chuck Ingram on fifty five krs, 1114 01:03:48.840 --> 01:03:49.880 the talk station. 1115 01:03:53.239 --> 01:03:56.639 Sixty one at thirty five KRC the talk station check 1116 01:03:56.639 --> 01:03:59.440 Fright of a day, patter interest tact dot com. So 1117 01:03:59.440 --> 01:04:03.239 it's not it's not Twitter, it's actually tender. It's a 1118 01:04:03.320 --> 01:04:05.719 dating site, right, Dave, it. 1119 01:04:05.760 --> 01:04:06.639 Is a dating site. 1120 01:04:06.760 --> 01:04:09.880 Yes, Brian, I only know I'm married. I don't know 1121 01:04:09.880 --> 01:04:13.440 and it's Valentine's Day? Have you Valentine's dari love you? 1122 01:04:13.760 --> 01:04:13.960 Yes? 1123 01:04:14.000 --> 01:04:15.000 It is a dating site. 1124 01:04:15.760 --> 01:04:17.079 Okay, so what happened? 1125 01:04:18.039 --> 01:04:22.159 Yeah, this is interesting but not surprising to me. So 1126 01:04:22.639 --> 01:04:25.679 apparently a woman had a letter show up at her house, 1127 01:04:25.719 --> 01:04:28.880 a handwritten letter from a guy that found her on tender. 1128 01:04:29.599 --> 01:04:32.679 Apparently she was not interested in him. And I guess 1129 01:04:32.760 --> 01:04:35.960 the way these dating sites work, as I've been told Brian, 1130 01:04:36.679 --> 01:04:39.440 is that you know, you see a photo of someone 1131 01:04:39.480 --> 01:04:41.440 and you like him, and you swipe left if you 1132 01:04:41.719 --> 01:04:44.679 want to move on, and swipe right if you want to, 1133 01:04:45.039 --> 01:04:48.199 you know, establish some sort of rapport with people, and 1134 01:04:48.800 --> 01:04:51.039 you know, the first thing you have to understand is 1135 01:04:51.840 --> 01:04:54.239 the sites work better the more information you put in 1136 01:04:54.280 --> 01:04:57.280 about yourself, right, Yeah, they're trying to help you find 1137 01:04:57.320 --> 01:05:01.440 people that might have similar interests, and the more information 1138 01:05:01.480 --> 01:05:03.719 you put in about yourself, of course, the more likely 1139 01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:06.320 you're going to find someone that would potentially be a match. 1140 01:05:06.679 --> 01:05:09.519 But that's where the problem comes in, because whether it's 1141 01:05:09.880 --> 01:05:12.400 just a straight up romance scam lots of those go 1142 01:05:12.480 --> 01:05:16.920 on every day, or it's you know, enough information to 1143 01:05:16.960 --> 01:05:19.880 help someone find you, like what happened in this case, 1144 01:05:20.280 --> 01:05:22.519 the more information you put in about yourself, the more 1145 01:05:22.559 --> 01:05:24.599 you put yourself at risk. And that's true with you know, 1146 01:05:24.639 --> 01:05:27.199 any type of social media, whether it's a dating side 1147 01:05:27.280 --> 01:05:30.159 or not. But in this case, apparently this woman got 1148 01:05:30.199 --> 01:05:34.480 a letter because the guy wanted to meet her. She 1149 01:05:34.599 --> 01:05:37.039 apparently was not interested in him, so he used the 1150 01:05:37.079 --> 01:05:40.599 information that was available. And I suspect because I haven't 1151 01:05:40.599 --> 01:05:42.599 seen any news reports where they talk to the guy. 1152 01:05:43.079 --> 01:05:44.800 I think the police did go talk to the guy, 1153 01:05:44.840 --> 01:05:46.679 and they didn't, you know, think he was harmful. He 1154 01:05:46.719 --> 01:05:50.920 wasn't going to do anything illegal or anything like that. 1155 01:05:51.039 --> 01:05:54.480 You know, he just decided to I guess to his credit, 1156 01:05:54.639 --> 01:05:58.719 like hey, Okay, I'm gonna go outside tender and find 1157 01:05:58.719 --> 01:06:00.440 this person and see if I can and you know, 1158 01:06:00.519 --> 01:06:04.079 reach out and establish a relationship. Freaked her out. I 1159 01:06:04.119 --> 01:06:07.559 could understand where it comes. Yeah, And I think it's 1160 01:06:07.599 --> 01:06:10.800 because so many people think, okay, well there's privacy settings 1161 01:06:10.800 --> 01:06:13.400 in these apps or whatever. And you know, Brian is 1162 01:06:13.400 --> 01:06:17.079 a whole field in cybersecurity called ocent open source intelligence, 1163 01:06:18.000 --> 01:06:21.679 and it's all about how can you use information? Sometimes 1164 01:06:21.679 --> 01:06:23.159 you might have to go on the dark web to 1165 01:06:23.159 --> 01:06:25.400 find it, but how can you use information that's available 1166 01:06:25.400 --> 01:06:28.920 on the Internet to identify people, identify companies. I mean, 1167 01:06:29.119 --> 01:06:31.119 you know, as a business and Intrust. We pay for 1168 01:06:31.239 --> 01:06:35.679 sites like Seamless AI powerful tool for businesses. They use 1169 01:06:35.760 --> 01:06:38.599 AI to find information. So, you know, if I'm looking 1170 01:06:38.639 --> 01:06:40.599 to talk to your company to see if Intrust might 1171 01:06:40.639 --> 01:06:42.519 be a good fit for you, I can type in 1172 01:06:42.559 --> 01:06:44.280 your company name, I can type in the name of 1173 01:06:44.320 --> 01:06:46.400 a person I think might work there, a plus a 1174 01:06:46.400 --> 01:06:49.000 bunch of other stuff, and I would bet you, Brian, 1175 01:06:49.079 --> 01:06:51.119 eighty to ninety percent of the time I get a 1176 01:06:51.199 --> 01:06:53.079 valid phone number and email address out of that. 1177 01:06:53.119 --> 01:06:53.480 Wow. 1178 01:06:54.000 --> 01:06:56.840 But even if you don't want to pay company websites, 1179 01:06:57.079 --> 01:07:01.480 other social media sites, Google searches, you know, and one 1180 01:07:01.519 --> 01:07:03.480 of the questions I got asked about this, well, okay, 1181 01:07:03.559 --> 01:07:06.000 if he just had a picture of this person and 1182 01:07:06.199 --> 01:07:08.039 apparently she didn't have her full name in there, how 1183 01:07:08.079 --> 01:07:09.960 could he find her? Well, okay, you could start with 1184 01:07:10.000 --> 01:07:12.599 the reverse image search on Google and see if that 1185 01:07:13.119 --> 01:07:16.480 profile photo shows up somewhere else. If it's if you 1186 01:07:16.559 --> 01:07:19.400 have a location and they're like, I'm I live in Mason, Ohio. 1187 01:07:20.119 --> 01:07:22.760 I'm a realtor.

Second day, Yeah, it wouldn't take long. 1191 01:07:32.239 --> 01:07:37.800 So again, I don't think there's anything illegal here, But 1192 01:07:38.360 --> 01:07:42.320 for folks who are thinking, hey, I'm using the privacy 1193 01:07:42.360 --> 01:07:44.840 settings and you know, I want to be sort of 1194 01:07:45.000 --> 01:07:48.719 semi anonymous, you need to think again. I'm not saying 1195 01:07:48.760 --> 01:07:51.400 don't use these sites, but I also think this is 1196 01:07:51.440 --> 01:07:55.360 a warning because not only can someone find you potentially, 1197 01:07:55.400 --> 01:07:57.280 but the more information you put in there about you, 1198 01:07:57.360 --> 01:08:00.599 if I am a con man, right, and whether it's 1199 01:08:00.679 --> 01:08:02.599 what are you put in tender or once I find 1200 01:08:02.639 --> 01:08:05.760 your Facebook profile or whatever, if I know a lot 1201 01:08:05.800 --> 01:08:09.119 about you, like you happen to like Greater's Mint chocolate chip, 1202 01:08:09.480 --> 01:08:12.719 and you like Skyline and et cetera, et cetera, suddenly 1203 01:08:12.800 --> 01:08:15.239 i'm gonna, you know, if you'll start talking to me, 1204 01:08:15.480 --> 01:08:17.640 I'm gonna seem like you're a dream person because I'm 1205 01:08:17.640 --> 01:08:20.119 gonna know all the things you like.

People are losing their entire life savings buying 1273 01:11:27.600 --> 01:11:32.439 and selling houses, and it ties into and it's so 1274 01:11:32.560 --> 01:11:34.439 hard to connect the dots on this stuff for people 1275 01:11:34.439 --> 01:11:37.000 when people say, well, why do I care about security? 1276 01:11:37.000 --> 01:11:38.840 I don't have anything to hide. I don't have anything 1277 01:11:38.840 --> 01:11:43.239 we're stealing. So imagine you're going to close and you've 1278 01:11:43.239 --> 01:11:45.279 got all your ducks in a row, you've bought a 1279 01:11:45.319 --> 01:11:48.000 new house, you've sold your house, you're going to close, 1280 01:11:48.520 --> 01:11:51.439 and suddenly you find out that that wire transfer you 1281 01:11:51.520 --> 01:11:55.000 were requested to do as bogus and all your money stolen. 1282 01:11:55.760 --> 01:11:57.960 Can you even afford the new house? If you're the 1283 01:11:58.039 --> 01:12:01.000 seller of the previous house money didn't get to you 1284 01:12:01.039 --> 01:12:05.800 because the new buyer had their money stolen. It's crazy, 1285 01:12:05.840 --> 01:12:08.840 and this is happening a lot more regular than people realize. 1286 01:12:09.319 --> 01:12:13.239 And it's usually because at some point in the chain, 1287 01:12:13.319 --> 01:12:16.920 whether it's the mortgage company or the bank, they have 1288 01:12:17.119 --> 01:12:19.399 what in the business would be known as an account takeover. 1289 01:12:19.520 --> 01:12:21.800 And this is why you should care about your email accounts. 1290 01:12:21.800 --> 01:12:24.079 People say, well, so what if they can read my email? Well, 1291 01:12:24.079 --> 01:12:26.800 here's the so what I'm a criminal. I get in 1292 01:12:26.880 --> 01:12:29.439 your email and I see it you're involved in a 1293 01:12:29.479 --> 01:12:32.439 transaction like this. I set up a mail flow rule 1294 01:12:32.840 --> 01:12:36.319 so that all of the email around this particular transaction 1295 01:12:36.479 --> 01:12:38.920 or coming from a certain person, whatever, goes into a 1296 01:12:38.960 --> 01:12:41.199 folder that you don't know is there. And now I 1297 01:12:41.239 --> 01:12:43.520 am personate you. Oh and if I happen to know 1298 01:12:43.560 --> 01:12:45.680 a lot about you, because there's all kinds of information 1299 01:12:45.840 --> 01:12:49.039 about you leaked on the dark web, it's easy for 1300 01:12:49.079 --> 01:12:53.079 me to impersonate you. And you know closings coming up 1301 01:12:53.119 --> 01:12:56.079 four pm on Friday, bring a check. Oh wait, last 1302 01:12:56.119 --> 01:12:58.439 minute change. The bank's going to need you to wire. 1303 01:12:58.479 --> 01:13:02.039 This information here coming from a person you've been talking 1304 01:13:02.079 --> 01:13:05.640 to because they're in that person's account, impersonating them? 1305 01:13:05.640 --> 01:13:06.319 Does that make sense? 1306 01:13:06.359 --> 01:13:07.640 Before I say anything else. 1307 01:13:07.560 --> 01:13:09.239 These loes is sprite. 1308 01:13:09.520 --> 01:13:13.239 Yeah. This is why it's so important that this basic 1309 01:13:13.279 --> 01:13:15.640 cyber hygiene stuff you and I have been talking about 1310 01:13:15.680 --> 01:13:19.479 for eleven years is so important. If you don't have 1311 01:13:19.520 --> 01:13:22.600 strong unique passwords, if you don't use multi factor authentication 1312 01:13:22.720 --> 01:13:26.359 or even better pass keys, or a product like Microsoft 1313 01:13:26.399 --> 01:13:29.279 in Tune to protect your accounts, someone can get into 1314 01:13:29.279 --> 01:13:32.000 these accounts figure out how to get to your money, 1315 01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:35.720 whether it's sending out fraudulent invoices or it's injecting themselves 1316 01:13:35.800 --> 01:13:38.319 in some kind of deal like this. And again, if 1317 01:13:38.399 --> 01:13:40.479 you and I have been working together on the sale 1318 01:13:40.520 --> 01:13:42.920 of a home because I'm your mortgage broker or whatever, 1319 01:13:43.359 --> 01:13:45.720 you've been talking to me, You've been working with me, 1320 01:13:46.039 --> 01:13:48.479 and at the last minute, you get an email from 1321 01:13:48.520 --> 01:13:52.600 my legitimate account that's telling you something has changed. Don't 1322 01:13:52.640 --> 01:13:56.840 bring a cashier's check, send the money here. Why wouldn't 1323 01:13:56.880 --> 01:13:57.239 you do that? 1324 01:13:59.000 --> 01:14:01.079 Jesus Uh. 1325 01:14:01.279 --> 01:14:03.840 There's Local twelve had a story on this, and there's 1326 01:14:04.039 --> 01:14:06.399 I encourage people. I'll put it in my show notes. 1327 01:14:06.640 --> 01:14:09.000 There's a video of a guy who specializes in this. 1328 01:14:09.119 --> 01:14:10.960 He started the company to try to stop this fraud. 1329 01:14:11.000 --> 01:14:15.520 He has a very short but very impactful video explaining 1330 01:14:15.600 --> 01:14:18.319 if you're a buyer or seller, the questions you should 1331 01:14:18.319 --> 01:14:20.479 ask upfront and the things you should be prepared for, 1332 01:14:20.600 --> 01:14:23.439 so when you get down to the wire, you would 1333 01:14:23.520 --> 01:14:25.680 already have figured out like this is the way this 1334 01:14:25.760 --> 01:14:28.239 transaction is going to go. And then if anything changes 1335 01:14:28.279 --> 01:14:31.560 at all, you should be skeptical. You shouldn't just red flags. 1336 01:14:33.000 --> 01:14:36.359 I strongly encourage everyone to go watch this guy's video again. 1337 01:14:36.439 --> 01:14:38.600 You can find it from the Local twelve story. I'll 1338 01:14:38.720 --> 01:14:41.439 link to it because he does a really great job 1339 01:14:41.479 --> 01:14:44.199 of explaining this. That article does a good job explaining 1340 01:14:44.199 --> 01:14:46.840 the risks and people losing hundreds of thousands of dollars 1341 01:14:46.840 --> 01:14:48.560 that in some cases they get none of it back. 1342 01:14:49.960 --> 01:14:53.600 And you know this can be stopped if you're aware 1343 01:14:54.079 --> 01:14:56.039 and you know the right questions to ask, and then 1344 01:14:56.159 --> 01:14:58.000 you know, go down to the wire with a super 1345 01:14:58.000 --> 01:15:00.159 dosa skepticism. So yeah, it's. 1346 01:15:01.600 --> 01:15:04.439 Well, that's my default mode anymore. And I just come 1347 01:15:04.520 --> 01:15:07.800 up with new ways of spelling people every jetty.

A 1374 01:16:33.399 --> 01:16:36.640 very happy Friday, Slash Valentine's Dad, everybody. Brian Thomas always 1375 01:16:36.640 --> 01:16:39.239 pleased to look across the studio table here and see 1376 01:16:39.279 --> 01:16:43.199 Todd Zends their former Inspector General. He knows where the 1377 01:16:43.199 --> 01:16:46.159 low hanging fruit is as well. Todd Senzer, Welcome back, man, 1378 01:16:46.199 --> 01:16:48.399 It's great to have you in studio. You're brilliant, and 1379 01:16:48.439 --> 01:16:51.239 you're very informative and you benefit every one of my 1380 01:16:51.319 --> 01:16:54.840 listeners when you show up, that means a lot to me. 1381 01:16:55.199 --> 01:16:58.199 Let's before we guy dive into and you can explain 1382 01:16:58.239 --> 01:17:00.920 what Rising fifteen is and we'll deal with some local 1383 01:17:00.960 --> 01:17:04.119 shenanigans and other things. We're just having this off air 1384 01:17:04.159 --> 01:17:09.279 conversation about the Democrats just screaming their head off about 1385 01:17:09.760 --> 01:17:12.560 the revelation of all this fraud, wasting abuse and the 1386 01:17:12.560 --> 01:17:14.359 efforts to stop it. 1387 01:17:15.359 --> 01:17:19.159 You know, Elon billionaire, Elon Musk, billionaire Elon Musk. It's like, 1388 01:17:19.159 --> 01:17:25.880 wait a second, you're defending the literally indefensible in saying 1389 01:17:25.920 --> 01:17:27.760 that these cuts shouldn't be made. I mean, they are 1390 01:17:27.800 --> 01:17:30.800 showing that it's the low hanging fruit, the dumb, the stupid, 1391 01:17:30.880 --> 01:17:32.319 the ridiculous, the waste. 1392 01:17:32.960 --> 01:17:33.760 And I read this this. 1393 01:17:35.800 --> 01:17:39.000 The editorial board point this so you want proof of 1394 01:17:39.039 --> 01:17:42.720 government fraud. I had to read it because all of 1395 01:17:42.800 --> 01:17:46.159 this information, all of the areas of fraud, wasting abuse 1396 01:17:46.239 --> 01:17:51.920 previously identified under the Biden administration's people two hundred and 1397 01:17:51.920 --> 01:17:54.119 thirty three to five hundred and twenty one billion annually 1398 01:17:54.199 --> 01:17:58.760 in fraud from the Government Accountability Office last year, and 1399 01:17:58.800 --> 01:18:00.399 then it just goes on and on on and on. 1400 01:18:00.520 --> 01:18:04.920 People in the Biden administration identified this, and so that 1401 01:18:05.000 --> 01:18:07.720 Elon Musk is now and Donald Trump are now doing 1402 01:18:07.880 --> 01:18:12.439 something about previously identified areas of fraud, waste, and abuse, 1403 01:18:12.479 --> 01:18:15.279 and now they're screaming about it as if it isn't real. 1404 01:18:15.640 --> 01:18:19.640 Right. The interesting thing, Brian, is that the GAO, the 1405 01:18:19.680 --> 01:18:24.079 Government Accountability Office, is actually an arm of Congress. So 1406 01:18:24.119 --> 01:18:28.119 it's their own auditor. It's Congress's own auditor that's coming 1407 01:18:28.199 --> 01:18:31.399 up with this. So members of Congress should not be 1408 01:18:31.560 --> 01:18:33.279 complaining about what they're finding. 1409 01:18:34.039 --> 01:18:34.680 You would think. 1410 01:18:34.560 --> 01:18:39.279 That that Elon Musk is coming in and threatening to 1411 01:18:39.279 --> 01:18:41.159 molest their children or something. I don't know how to 1412 01:18:41.479 --> 01:18:44.760 frame it, but I just stand in awe and aghast, 1413 01:18:45.359 --> 01:18:49.600 in a state of disbelief over the loud, screaming, angry 1414 01:18:49.960 --> 01:18:53.319 cries of these elected officials, and I think, wait a second, 1415 01:18:54.560 --> 01:18:59.880 you were elected. You have constituents. These constituents, presumably pert 1416 01:19:00.000 --> 01:19:05.239 dissipated in work ergo, paid into the federal government via 1417 01:19:05.279 --> 01:19:08.520 the income tax system and most notably separate line item 1418 01:19:08.600 --> 01:19:11.279 social Security system, thinking at some point that they were 1419 01:19:11.279 --> 01:19:13.479 going to reap the benefits of getting a social Security check. 1420 01:19:13.680 --> 01:19:16.600 Elon Musk comes out and says, look, dead people are 1421 01:19:16.600 --> 01:19:19.479 getting checks. People that aren't entitled to get Social Security 1422 01:19:19.520 --> 01:19:23.960 checks are getting your money. CBOs identified for years the 1423 01:19:24.000 --> 01:19:27.079 Social Security is painfully underwater, so everybody's at risk of 1424 01:19:27.119 --> 01:19:29.520 not even getting it, and that's if it's a well oiled, 1425 01:19:30.800 --> 01:19:35.560 non corrupt machine. But in response to him pointing this out, 1426 01:19:35.600 --> 01:19:38.199 they scream and try about how he's taking your Social 1427 01:19:38.239 --> 01:19:41.239 Security benefits away. How do they answer to their own 1428 01:19:41.399 --> 01:19:42.960 constituents with something. 1429 01:19:42.720 --> 01:19:46.199 Like that, Well, unfortunately, I think the constituents that they're 1430 01:19:46.239 --> 01:19:49.359 worried about are the constituents that support them and make 1431 01:19:49.399 --> 01:19:53.319 the most noise about Trump or not having enough money 1432 01:19:53.359 --> 01:19:55.920 to do certain things. That those are the people they're 1433 01:19:55.920 --> 01:19:58.039 listening to. They're listening to the people that have been 1434 01:19:58.079 --> 01:19:59.920 feeding off the federal government for all. 1435 01:19:59.840 --> 01:20:02.479 The Okay, in the follow up question, which I know 1436 01:20:02.560 --> 01:20:04.680 the answer to because I asked it before we started, 1437 01:20:05.479 --> 01:20:09.319 are there that many people out there getting this money 1438 01:20:09.319 --> 01:20:11.840 in a form of recipients of no into the non 1439 01:20:11.880 --> 01:20:15.840 government organizations or feeding at the trough of some ridiculous 1440 01:20:15.880 --> 01:20:17.800 program paid for by the American taxpayer. 1441 01:20:18.319 --> 01:20:20.880 Yes, there's there. There are those people and there are 1442 01:20:20.920 --> 01:20:26.399 also people like members of the military industrial complex. God, 1443 01:20:26.600 --> 01:20:31.119 all of these iron triangles that orbit the federal government. 1444 01:20:31.520 --> 01:20:34.359 You've got that issue too, But you know that's alive 1445 01:20:34.399 --> 01:20:37.079 and well. Here in Cincinnati, there are I don't know, 1446 01:20:37.159 --> 01:20:41.119 forty or fifty different groups that the city funds on 1447 01:20:41.159 --> 01:20:44.319 an annual basis with you know, fifty thousand here, two 1448 01:20:44.359 --> 01:20:48.119 hundred thousand there, and it's i mean, there's a name 1449 01:20:48.159 --> 01:20:49.520 for it, but it's it is. 1450 01:20:49.640 --> 01:20:51.199 Yeah. You can't stay it on the air though, because 1451 01:20:51.199 --> 01:20:52.920 that's the non compliant But. 1452 01:20:54.439 --> 01:20:57.399 That's the way the system is right now, Charlie Foxtrot, 1453 01:20:57.640 --> 01:21:00.520 not only in the United States but here locally as well. 1454 01:21:01.840 --> 01:21:06.039 But if just using springing from your the framing of that, 1455 01:21:06.119 --> 01:21:08.359 and I'm not disagreeing with your analysis or assessment of that, 1456 01:21:09.399 --> 01:21:12.319 the City of Cincinnati doles out these dollars, is that 1457 01:21:12.359 --> 01:21:15.720 coming from the city's general fund, which is fueled by 1458 01:21:16.479 --> 01:21:19.880 Cincinnatians and the the the the income tax that they 1459 01:21:19.920 --> 01:21:21.000 pay into the general fund. 1460 01:21:21.119 --> 01:21:23.479 Yeah, it's all coming out of there. It's all coming 1461 01:21:23.520 --> 01:21:24.840 out of the city's general fund. 1462 01:21:24.920 --> 01:21:26.680 So it's a city version of what the federal government 1463 01:21:26.760 --> 01:21:31.359 is doing exactly. This problem is beyond systemic. 1464 01:21:32.039 --> 01:21:34.119 Yes, it is. 1465 01:21:34.359 --> 01:21:34.600 It is. 1466 01:21:34.720 --> 01:21:36.439 You can feel free to make me better, Todd, I 1467 01:21:36.560 --> 01:21:37.680 make me feel better about this. 1468 01:21:37.800 --> 01:21:40.239 You're not, that's for sure. 1469 01:21:40.359 --> 01:21:42.319 It's very What do you think. 1470 01:21:42.119 --> 01:21:44.439 The landscape of the economy would look like if the 1471 01:21:44.479 --> 01:21:47.560 plug just got pulled on all this extraneous and I 1472 01:21:47.600 --> 01:21:50.159 will use the word crap because that's exactly the way 1473 01:21:50.199 --> 01:21:51.000 I feel about it. 1474 01:21:51.560 --> 01:21:55.359 Well, not only do you have to stop these programs, 1475 01:21:55.359 --> 01:21:57.880 but you have to stop you have to stop funding 1476 01:21:57.920 --> 01:22:02.239 them through taxes. If we didn't have all these programs, 1477 01:22:02.840 --> 01:22:05.479 we wouldn't be paying all these taxes, and the economy 1478 01:22:05.520 --> 01:22:08.199 would The economy would have the money instead of the 1479 01:22:08.199 --> 01:22:09.720 federal government or the state. 1480 01:22:09.520 --> 01:22:13.880 Government fuelling industry and business and goods and services that 1481 01:22:14.039 --> 01:22:18.520 the economy thrives on because people actually want what they're providing. 1482 01:22:18.800 --> 01:22:23.079 Exactly, it's more of the free market system that's been corrupted. 1483 01:22:24.000 --> 01:22:25.760 You know, it breaks my heart to say this, but 1484 01:22:25.880 --> 01:22:29.039 you know, looking at this landscape and the just absolute 1485 01:22:29.119 --> 01:22:33.640 opposition to curbing this fraud, waste, and abuse, and the 1486 01:22:33.680 --> 01:22:36.000 size of the national deficit and the debt service we're 1487 01:22:36.000 --> 01:22:40.520 paying on it, you know deep down that it's going 1488 01:22:40.560 --> 01:22:43.039 to require a collapse of the fiat currency in order 1489 01:22:43.239 --> 01:22:45.319 to write the ship and to end this from happening, 1490 01:22:45.319 --> 01:22:47.479 which basically is going to end the fiat currency. And 1491 01:22:47.479 --> 01:22:50.000 I don't know how we're gonna be able to survive 1492 01:22:50.039 --> 01:22:51.760 as a nation without the fiat currency. 1493 01:22:51.920 --> 01:22:57.079 I mean, we're quickly racing to the bottom. We're going 1494 01:22:57.119 --> 01:23:01.039 to crash here if these efforts of Dose and the 1495 01:23:01.079 --> 01:23:02.359 President aren't successful. 1496 01:23:02.560 --> 01:23:06.319 Well, and you know, my mom will make this comment 1497 01:23:06.359 --> 01:23:08.079 from time to time.

Is that kind 1502 01:23:18.880 --> 01:23:21.279 of the mindset of our elected officials? I mean, somebody 1503 01:23:21.279 --> 01:23:23.239 like Nancy Pelosi, whos about one hundred and sixty five 1504 01:23:23.319 --> 01:23:26.720 years old anyway, or Mitch McConnell, they're going to die 1505 01:23:26.920 --> 01:23:29.119 before it hits the fans, so they don't have any 1506 01:23:29.119 --> 01:23:31.039 feeling like they have any obligation to do anything to 1507 01:23:31.039 --> 01:23:31.680 write the ship. 1508 01:23:32.039 --> 01:23:35.640 Yeah. Well, these some of these members who are senior, 1509 01:23:35.840 --> 01:23:39.199 like Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi, they just can't give 1510 01:23:39.279 --> 01:23:43.239 up power. And that's that's what that's what it's all about. 1511 01:23:43.279 --> 01:23:46.560 These these elected officials want to retain their their power. 1512 01:23:46.720 --> 01:23:49.279 Is that's like a DSM five diagnosable illness. 1513 01:23:49.520 --> 01:23:50.479 I would agree with you. 1514 01:23:50.600 --> 01:23:53.319 I mean, you're eighty five years old now.

He's got his fingers on the 1597 01:27:58.800 --> 01:28:01.560 pulse of all the crazy stuff that's going on in 1598 01:28:01.600 --> 01:28:03.680 the world. And let us pivot over to local crazy, 1599 01:28:03.720 --> 01:28:06.439 moving away from federal level crazy. You kind of alluded 1600 01:28:06.439 --> 01:28:08.560 to it earlier. We talked about Cincinnati doling out money 1601 01:28:08.560 --> 01:28:12.840 to NGOs, and you know all the organizations that are 1602 01:28:12.840 --> 01:28:14.760 supported by that, which are the ones that's screaming yell 1603 01:28:14.800 --> 01:28:16.600 every time someone tries to fare it out froud waste 1604 01:28:16.600 --> 01:28:22.159 and abuse. But rising fifteen. Remind my listeners about this 1605 01:28:22.199 --> 01:28:24.000 because I seem to recall reading an article or talking 1606 01:28:24.000 --> 01:28:25.520 about a little bit in the morning show maybe when 1607 01:28:25.520 --> 01:28:28.680 you were here. This is about the fifteen quote unquote 1608 01:28:28.840 --> 01:28:31.680 underserved neighborhoods within the City of Cincinnati. 1609 01:28:31.880 --> 01:28:35.439 Yes, there are three members of city Council who have 1610 01:28:35.560 --> 01:28:41.800 identified fifteen neighborhoods that have been underserved. It's not clear 1611 01:28:41.800 --> 01:28:48.239 whether that's historically or current or both. And they entered 1612 01:28:48.279 --> 01:28:53.279 a motion back in October of twenty three to set 1613 01:28:53.359 --> 01:28:58.640 up two special funds for these neighborhoods. And remember that 1614 01:28:58.720 --> 01:29:02.520 in October of twenty three is when we were campaigning 1615 01:29:02.600 --> 01:29:06.680 for and against the sale of the railway. Yeah, this 1616 01:29:06.760 --> 01:29:11.720 is all geared towards letting constituents know that they're going 1617 01:29:11.760 --> 01:29:14.399 to get a piece of the railway money. So this 1618 01:29:14.520 --> 01:29:18.560 motion set up a special two special funds for these neighborhoods, 1619 01:29:18.960 --> 01:29:21.960 what they called a railroad fund and what they called 1620 01:29:22.000 --> 01:29:26.279 an economic development fund. And the idea back then as 1621 01:29:26.319 --> 01:29:30.000 it is now, is to take ten percent of the 1622 01:29:30.039 --> 01:29:33.359 proceeds from the railway sale that the city is given 1623 01:29:33.600 --> 01:29:36.840 every year by the Railway Trust Board and put it 1624 01:29:36.840 --> 01:29:41.520 into this railroad fund and let that accumulate. And it 1625 01:29:41.560 --> 01:29:47.520 also establishes a seven member advisory board that basically controls 1626 01:29:47.520 --> 01:29:48.039 that money. 1627 01:29:48.439 --> 01:29:50.840 So we have an advisory board that controls the railroad money, 1628 01:29:51.520 --> 01:29:54.720 and they take the interest generated off the principle, ten 1629 01:29:54.760 --> 01:29:58.000 percent of which goes into a separate fund which is 1630 01:29:58.439 --> 01:30:02.239 managed and organized by a complete the separate entity, let 1631 01:30:02.239 --> 01:30:05.000 me guess who are appointed by the mayor. 1632 01:30:05.760 --> 01:30:06.439 Yeah it's. 1633 01:30:08.039 --> 01:30:12.159 Yes, yes, huh so okay, now wait all right, let's 1634 01:30:12.159 --> 01:30:15.159 follow the money here. Okay, let's just say that happens. 1635 01:30:17.960 --> 01:30:21.000 I guess, definitionly speaking, do we even know what underserved is. 1636 01:30:21.680 --> 01:30:24.279 No, And that's one of the problems these fifteen neighborhoods. 1637 01:30:25.159 --> 01:30:29.159 The motion has an exhibit attached that they say is 1638 01:30:29.239 --> 01:30:33.880 the demographic and socioeconomic data that they use to identify 1639 01:30:33.960 --> 01:30:38.800 these fifteen neighborhoods. That exhibit wasn't attached to the motion 1640 01:30:39.039 --> 01:30:42.520 when they filed it with When they filed it with 1641 01:30:42.560 --> 01:30:46.359 the council last week, I had to go down to 1642 01:30:46.439 --> 01:30:49.439 the clerk's office to get a copy of the exhibit. 1643 01:30:50.159 --> 01:30:56.079 It's basically one page, and the socioeconomic and demographic data 1644 01:30:56.640 --> 01:31:01.359 includes the population of the neighborhood, the racial makeup of 1645 01:31:01.399 --> 01:31:05.039 the neighborhood, and the median income of the neighborhood. That's it. 1646 01:31:05.600 --> 01:31:10.560 Nothing about unemployment levels, nothing about education levels, nothing about crime, 1647 01:31:11.039 --> 01:31:14.800 nothing about blight, just race and income. 1648 01:31:15.319 --> 01:31:19.359 That's Todd founding his hand in emphasis about what he's 1649 01:31:19.399 --> 01:31:21.520 talking about. I had a listener complain to me because 1650 01:31:21.520 --> 01:31:23.560 when I moved my boom mic, it's a little squeak 1651 01:31:23.640 --> 01:31:25.920 to it. He said, it drives me crazy. So I've 1652 01:31:25.920 --> 01:31:27.680 been trying never to touch my mic. I just want 1653 01:31:27.680 --> 01:31:31.439 to let him specifically know it was you being making 1654 01:31:31.479 --> 01:31:33.039 a strong point. I don't have a problem with the 1655 01:31:33.079 --> 01:31:34.840 Todd trust me. I just want to let listeners know 1656 01:31:34.840 --> 01:31:38.840 that I was aware of it. But movie back, Okay, fine, 1657 01:31:39.119 --> 01:31:42.119 you got you've identified these neighborhoods. Let's just say and 1658 01:31:42.199 --> 01:31:46.359 we say, find that the demographic and identified information. And 1659 01:31:46.359 --> 01:31:48.359 we haven't talked about the source of who gathered that. 1660 01:31:48.399 --> 01:31:50.239 I don't know where that came from. Was it identified 1661 01:31:50.239 --> 01:31:52.760 on the document? So we have no idea who compiled it. 1662 01:31:54.439 --> 01:31:59.439 How will these funds be used to transform and underserved 1663 01:31:59.479 --> 01:32:02.760 neighborhood into a served neighborhood. 1664 01:32:03.800 --> 01:32:07.359 Well, that's that's to be seen. This advisory group that 1665 01:32:07.439 --> 01:32:10.520 the Emotion would set up, I guess, is supposed to 1666 01:32:10.600 --> 01:32:12.840 come up with a plan for spending this money. 1667 01:32:13.319 --> 01:32:15.920 But is the argument now? Let's let's move over to 1668 01:32:16.000 --> 01:32:18.600 the foundation for the sale of the railroad, which is 1669 01:32:18.600 --> 01:32:22.640 to use the interest generated by the principle to work 1670 01:32:22.680 --> 01:32:26.079 on previously existing projects. 1671 01:32:26.680 --> 01:32:30.520 Right, and a. 1672 01:32:30.000 --> 01:32:32.439 Previously just in project in this particular case is the 1673 01:32:32.479 --> 01:32:35.920 mere existence of a neighborhood that they have called underserved. 1674 01:32:36.319 --> 01:32:38.439 Well that's hard to say because what the what the 1675 01:32:38.560 --> 01:32:43.520 motion also does or what they try to do, is 1676 01:32:43.520 --> 01:32:46.760 is swap money. In fact, yeah, the Vice Mayor actually 1677 01:32:46.840 --> 01:32:50.239 use that term a money swap where oh, they're not 1678 01:32:50.279 --> 01:32:54.079 going to use railway money. They're gonna take an equivalent 1679 01:32:54.119 --> 01:32:57.119 amount of the railway money out of the general General 1680 01:32:57.159 --> 01:33:00.399 Fund and put it in it in their special railroad. 1681 01:33:00.079 --> 01:33:03.199 Fun demonstrating as I always like to demonstrate the fungibility 1682 01:33:03.239 --> 01:33:05.239 of money. Oh you're not kidding, what a bait and 1683 01:33:05.279 --> 01:33:07.359 switch we're all gonna use for existing infrastructure. So it's 1684 01:33:07.399 --> 01:33:09.359 okay to sell the railroad. It'll free up all these funds. 1685 01:33:09.399 --> 01:33:11.520 We can get some projects done, okay, and then that 1686 01:33:11.560 --> 01:33:13.279 will free up money that should have come from the 1687 01:33:13.279 --> 01:33:16.199 General General Fund and allow it to be used for 1688 01:33:16.359 --> 01:33:18.079 other brand new stuff and things. 1689 01:33:18.520 --> 01:33:22.880 Right, well, we we said after the sale was approved 1690 01:33:22.880 --> 01:33:26.760 by the voters, we made several recommendations on how to 1691 01:33:26.800 --> 01:33:31.880 strengthen oversight, and one of them was to establish a floor, 1692 01:33:31.920 --> 01:33:35.159 a spending floor that you're going to spend X number 1693 01:33:35.159 --> 01:33:39.159 of dollars on infrastructure, and then whatever comes in from 1694 01:33:39.159 --> 01:33:41.479 the railway goes on top of that. That's how we're 1695 01:33:41.520 --> 01:33:45.840 going to be spending more on infrastructure. Instead, they want 1696 01:33:45.880 --> 01:33:49.880 to take the existing level of funding, take that away 1697 01:33:49.880 --> 01:33:52.319 from infrastructure and use it for all these other things, 1698 01:33:52.680 --> 01:33:55.600 new stuff and things not even infrastructure things. 1699 01:33:55.680 --> 01:33:58.680 I know, yeah, you know, and everybody knows which road 1700 01:33:58.720 --> 01:34:00.680 is floating around the back of my mind Sunset, which 1701 01:34:00.680 --> 01:34:04.239 has still like this landmine looks like a war zone 1702 01:34:04.279 --> 01:34:06.159 from Ukraine or Gaza strip. 1703 01:34:06.319 --> 01:34:08.279 I went down there yesterday, Brian. It's even more so. 1704 01:34:08.560 --> 01:34:11.479 I know, listen, that's why it's my favorite illustration. 1705 01:34:11.760 --> 01:34:12.920 It's got a lot of potholes. 1706 01:34:13.359 --> 01:34:14.640 That's the way I take when I go over to 1707 01:34:14.680 --> 01:34:16.720 like Price sal Chili for listener lunch, or you know, 1708 01:34:16.760 --> 01:34:19.039 maybe Chandlers over on the west side, and it's like, 1709 01:34:19.079 --> 01:34:21.520 God bless it. I should come up with an alternative route, 1710 01:34:21.560 --> 01:34:24.760 cause again it looks like something out of Gaza. Stick 1711 01:34:24.800 --> 01:34:28.159 around more with former Inspector General Todd Zenzer. I think 1712 01:34:28.199 --> 01:34:30.520 we have some more things to unpack on this too, 1713 01:34:30.640 --> 01:34:33.199 so we'll continue. It's seven twenty six right now.

We're trying to 1774 01:37:15.560 --> 01:37:20.640 unpack this rising fifteen and uh Shenanigan's declaration, at least 1775 01:37:20.640 --> 01:37:24.520 from my perspective, certainly just Trekker's perspective. All right, Todd, 1776 01:37:24.560 --> 01:37:26.479 real quick care. Let's sum it up. They take ten 1777 01:37:26.520 --> 01:37:31.279 percent of the of the interest earned off the railroad 1778 01:37:31.319 --> 01:37:34.720 investment they put into a separate account. They have a 1779 01:37:34.760 --> 01:37:38.119 new independent seven member board that is going to allocate 1780 01:37:38.319 --> 01:37:42.359 that money, and really big question mark how long it's 1781 01:37:42.399 --> 01:37:44.079 going to be in that fund. I guess it's an 1782 01:37:44.159 --> 01:37:47.279 annual expenditure of ten percent. Every year, ten percent of 1783 01:37:47.279 --> 01:37:48.920 the railroad money goes into this fund. 1784 01:37:49.319 --> 01:37:50.119 That's my understanding. 1785 01:37:50.399 --> 01:37:54.680 Okay, And whoever these members are, we don't know. They're 1786 01:37:54.720 --> 01:37:56.319 not elected officials, are they. 1787 01:37:56.439 --> 01:37:56.960 No, they're not. 1788 01:37:57.079 --> 01:38:01.439 Huh, Well, let's just scream that out loud over and 1789 01:38:01.520 --> 01:38:04.119 over again. So seven unelected officials are going to have 1790 01:38:04.159 --> 01:38:07.159 complete control and say over how this money gets allocated 1791 01:38:07.520 --> 01:38:10.600 or spent on any given project in these fifteen quote 1792 01:38:10.640 --> 01:38:11.920 unquote underserved communities. 1793 01:38:12.119 --> 01:38:15.399 Well, technically they're going to make a recommendation to council, 1794 01:38:15.560 --> 01:38:18.399 but if the council sets up this advisory board to 1795 01:38:18.439 --> 01:38:21.319 tell them, you know how exactly? 1796 01:38:22.680 --> 01:38:25.039 Now, you were in council on a Wednesday speaking on 1797 01:38:25.079 --> 01:38:27.880 an opposition against this. Yes, I was what arguments did 1798 01:38:27.920 --> 01:38:30.560 you make to them? And how were your arguments received? 1799 01:38:30.960 --> 01:38:33.399 Well, the thing about claiming you're two minutes to the 1800 01:38:33.439 --> 01:38:35.520 city council is they don't respond to you. 1801 01:38:36.000 --> 01:38:37.560 They really sit there and play on their phones. 1802 01:38:37.720 --> 01:38:41.840 Yes, so I made I made four points and then 1803 01:38:41.880 --> 01:38:45.399 I asked that they withdraw the motion. The first one 1804 01:38:45.439 --> 01:38:47.960 I said is that this thing is drenched in politics. 1805 01:38:48.279 --> 01:38:52.039 It came about during the campaign regarding the railway sale. 1806 01:38:52.680 --> 01:38:55.600 It was I said, it was political. Then it was 1807 01:38:55.720 --> 01:38:57.199 drenched in politics. 1808 01:38:57.279 --> 01:39:00.800 Now WCPO referred to it as reparations. Yes they did. 1809 01:39:00.960 --> 01:39:02.800 I mean that was in their reporting on it. 1810 01:39:02.920 --> 01:39:05.159 That was back in October twenty three. Yes, it was, 1811 01:39:06.039 --> 01:39:09.000 and if you read the motion, you'll get an understanding 1812 01:39:09.039 --> 01:39:09.840 of why they said that. 1813 01:39:10.279 --> 01:39:12.640 All right, Well, did your I mean, I know you 1814 01:39:12.680 --> 01:39:16.159 see your comments are ignored like most people, but generally speaking, 1815 01:39:16.239 --> 01:39:18.880 I mean, is there concern among council members about going 1816 01:39:18.920 --> 01:39:22.520 forward and moving forward with this, about the repercussions that 1817 01:39:22.560 --> 01:39:23.199 they might get. 1818 01:39:23.399 --> 01:39:26.239 Well, I did send an email to the mayor and 1819 01:39:26.279 --> 01:39:29.319 the council members and the city manager with these points, 1820 01:39:30.279 --> 01:39:34.319 and I got one response from a council member, Jeffries, 1821 01:39:34.920 --> 01:39:39.319 and he pretty much agrees with us with my concerns. 1822 01:39:39.840 --> 01:39:43.520 So that was one member that I got some feedback from. 1823 01:39:43.840 --> 01:39:46.399 But I haven't heard anything from any of the other members. 1824 01:39:47.000 --> 01:39:52.239 What of the railroad board don't they have say over this? 1825 01:39:52.880 --> 01:39:55.600 Well, that is a great that is a great question, Brian, 1826 01:39:55.680 --> 01:39:59.159 and I actually the Railway Board met this past week. Also. 1827 01:39:59.279 --> 01:40:02.359 They met on two Tuesday afternoon, and I went there 1828 01:40:02.680 --> 01:40:05.359 to make a couple of points about a different issue, 1829 01:40:05.960 --> 01:40:09.760 and I thought the meeting was encouraging. I didn't. They 1830 01:40:10.159 --> 01:40:13.560 are putting up a new website where they are going 1831 01:40:13.600 --> 01:40:18.319 to require information from the city about what projects are underway, 1832 01:40:18.680 --> 01:40:21.119 how much money is being used, and what the status 1833 01:40:21.119 --> 01:40:24.439 of those projects are. That's news to me because during 1834 01:40:24.479 --> 01:40:27.479 the campaign I got the impression that they really weren't 1835 01:40:27.600 --> 01:40:30.000 going to be too involved in how the money was spent. 1836 01:40:30.439 --> 01:40:34.439 So from my perspective anyway, that was a positive development. 1837 01:40:34.520 --> 01:40:38.479 Absolutely, that's the kind of transparency we deserve. Absolutely, if 1838 01:40:38.520 --> 01:40:40.279 you want to know where the money's being spent, they 1839 01:40:40.279 --> 01:40:42.279 will let you know. It's right there on the site. 1840 01:40:42.520 --> 01:40:46.239 I think that's an absolutely fabulous idea, and I'm actually shocked. 1841 01:40:45.840 --> 01:40:46.600 That it's happening. 1842 01:40:46.920 --> 01:40:50.800 I was very encouraged by they have a fiduciary obligation 1843 01:40:50.960 --> 01:40:52.199 to monitor those dollars. 1844 01:40:52.239 --> 01:40:56.800 Well, that's my argument. I mean, I used the story 1845 01:40:56.840 --> 01:40:59.840 about when I was at the Transportation Inspector General's office, 1846 01:41:00.039 --> 01:41:03.800 we had the Federal Transit Administration under our purview, and 1847 01:41:03.920 --> 01:41:07.399 my boss used to call them a religious organization because 1848 01:41:07.439 --> 01:41:10.399 they would throw billions of dollars out the door and 1849 01:41:10.560 --> 01:41:13.359 just pray that it was properly used. That's not the 1850 01:41:13.359 --> 01:41:16.800 way to go. If you're giving money out, you did 1851 01:41:16.840 --> 01:41:18.800 to make sure that it is used for the purpose 1852 01:41:18.840 --> 01:41:20.239 that you that you dispersed it. 1853 01:41:20.319 --> 01:41:22.399 So, going back to our conversation at the outset of 1854 01:41:22.439 --> 01:41:24.920 the program, literally everyment government. 1855 01:41:24.680 --> 01:41:26.039 Entity is doing this kind of thing. 1856 01:41:26.239 --> 01:41:28.760 Yes, throwing money out the door and never paying attention 1857 01:41:28.840 --> 01:41:31.279 to see what it's done out in the world, how 1858 01:41:31.359 --> 01:41:34.960 much people are making off of the allocation, who's benefiting 1859 01:41:35.000 --> 01:41:40.800 from it, or more fundamentally, if that allocation if deemed 1860 01:41:40.840 --> 01:41:43.840 appropriate's why the money went out the door. Actually does 1861 01:41:44.000 --> 01:41:45.319 anything right? 1862 01:41:45.640 --> 01:41:48.800 Well, some agencies that give out money grant make grants 1863 01:41:48.840 --> 01:41:51.199 and things like that. Some do a better job at 1864 01:41:51.199 --> 01:41:54.159 overseeing what happens than others, but they got a long 1865 01:41:54.199 --> 01:41:54.680 way to go. 1866 01:41:55.159 --> 01:41:57.199 Well, Brent Todsen's er back, He's in studio for the 1867 01:41:57.199 --> 01:42:01.079 full hour. This is just very informative and I can't 1868 01:42:01.079 --> 01:42:02.880 thank you enough, you know, for showing up at these 1869 01:42:02.920 --> 01:42:07.520 meetings on behalf of the taxpayers, for providing your useful 1870 01:42:07.560 --> 01:42:14.279 insight and giving them I think a more informed opinion 1871 01:42:14.439 --> 01:42:17.319 about the legality of this, how it's gonna work, and 1872 01:42:17.359 --> 01:42:19.399 bringing to their attention that this could be a source 1873 01:42:19.439 --> 01:42:23.159 of uh maybe fraud, waste and abuse. Seven thirty six 1874 01:42:23.199 --> 01:42:24.399 fifty five cares to detalk station. 1875 01:42:24.920 --> 01:42:25.039 UH. 1876 01:42:25.039 --> 01:42:27.399 If you're dreaming of a smile that is brilliant, that 1877 01:42:27.560 --> 01:42:30.159 is beautiful, that is natural, and you are not happy 1878 01:42:30.199 --> 01:42:33.680 with your smile, you need doctors Fred Pack and doctor 1879 01:42:33.680 --> 01:42:35.920 Meghan Frue.

He's passionate about dentistry generally speaking, and doctor 1884 01:42:47.960 --> 01:42:51.199 Meghan Frew equally passionate about her patients. She's got the 1885 01:42:51.199 --> 01:42:53.680 best chair side manner of any dentist out there. So 1886 01:42:53.680 --> 01:42:55.079 if you one of those folks that don't like going 1887 01:42:55.079 --> 01:42:57.960 to the dentist, you are gonna love doctor Meghan Frue. 1888 01:42:58.039 --> 01:43:01.119 Not to discount Fred Pack, She's a lot easier on 1889 01:43:01.159 --> 01:43:03.279 the eyes. Doctor Peck, you know, I love you, man. 1890 01:43:03.600 --> 01:43:05.720 But as far as Peck is concerned. A fellow with 1891 01:43:05.760 --> 01:43:08.279 the American Academy of cosmetic dentistry, and there are only 1892 01:43:08.319 --> 01:43:10.119 three in the entire state of OHI.

Since Todd 1923 01:44:48.079 --> 01:44:51.159 Zinsers and Studio Form Inspector General telling us all about 1924 01:44:51.199 --> 01:44:55.479 this rising fifteen and it is a motion, it has 1925 01:44:55.520 --> 01:44:58.520 not been passed yet. Correct. That's correct, all right. So 1926 01:44:58.760 --> 01:45:01.119 I'm not going to restate what the parameters are for this. 1927 01:45:01.199 --> 01:45:03.720 Bottom line is railroad money going into a separate fund 1928 01:45:03.760 --> 01:45:08.560 to be allocated among fifteen communities. Now, I know you've 1929 01:45:08.560 --> 01:45:12.239 done a couple of podcasts on this on YouTube. You 1930 01:45:12.359 --> 01:45:16.680 have a YouTube channel which is called citizens watch Citizen 1931 01:45:16.720 --> 01:45:19.640 Watchdog with Todd Zenzer. Yes, and you've done two full 1932 01:45:19.720 --> 01:45:21.279 programs on this alone. 1933 01:45:21.479 --> 01:45:21.760 Yes. 1934 01:45:23.399 --> 01:45:26.840 Now, obviously you filled up a lot of time on 1935 01:45:26.880 --> 01:45:30.760 your program on YouTube again, Citizen Watchdog with Todd Zenzer. 1936 01:45:31.840 --> 01:45:35.960 You mentioned to me off air something that has passed, 1937 01:45:36.720 --> 01:45:41.560 which is the city in City on Track Plan, the 1938 01:45:41.600 --> 01:45:44.079 City on Track Plan. Now doesn't that already deal with 1939 01:45:44.119 --> 01:45:45.800 the allocation of railroad fund money. 1940 01:45:46.079 --> 01:45:47.640 Yes, that was the whole point of the plan. 1941 01:45:47.920 --> 01:45:51.960 So this would interfere with a previously passed proposal for 1942 01:45:52.000 --> 01:45:53.119 spending the money. 1943 01:45:53.760 --> 01:45:57.239 Yes, I think it really confuses things. Remember that the 1944 01:45:58.560 --> 01:46:02.279 campaign to sell the railway started with this idea that 1945 01:46:02.319 --> 01:46:06.079 there's four hundred million dollars of deferred maintenance that the 1946 01:46:06.119 --> 01:46:09.039 city is grappling with, and the plan was to sell 1947 01:46:09.079 --> 01:46:13.760 the railway and start attacking that deferred maintenance. So they 1948 01:46:13.800 --> 01:46:16.399 came up with a City on Track plan, and it 1949 01:46:16.439 --> 01:46:19.800 broke it down into different areas parks and recreation, roads 1950 01:46:19.840 --> 01:46:24.319 and bridges, you know, et cetera. And then it distributed 1951 01:46:24.399 --> 01:46:30.880 those funds across those subjects and across the neighborhoods where 1952 01:46:30.960 --> 01:46:34.159 deferred maintenance has been identified. I don't know why they 1953 01:46:34.199 --> 01:46:38.399 just don't look at that plan and see what projects 1954 01:46:38.479 --> 01:46:42.359 exist within those fifteen neighborhoods and make those a priority. 1955 01:46:42.479 --> 01:46:47.119 I think I suspect the reason why. It's because fixing 1956 01:46:47.239 --> 01:46:51.720 a road in a neighborhood, or fixing an existing piece 1957 01:46:51.720 --> 01:46:54.760 of infrastructure that they own and therefore have an obligation 1958 01:46:54.880 --> 01:47:00.199 to maintain, does not change anything on that slip that 1959 01:47:00.319 --> 01:47:04.439 was not posted with this recent motion, you identifying neighborhoods 1960 01:47:04.479 --> 01:47:07.840 with income disparities. That's right, because a fixed road does 1961 01:47:07.880 --> 01:47:09.600 not change the income disparity. 1962 01:47:09.920 --> 01:47:10.079 Right. 1963 01:47:10.119 --> 01:47:13.279 What I liked working for the Transportation Department is that 1964 01:47:13.439 --> 01:47:18.840 roads and bridges and infrastructure should not be political. It's 1965 01:47:18.880 --> 01:47:23.720 all they own. It's all about public safety and economic 1966 01:47:23.800 --> 01:47:27.319 development and things like that. That's why you need infrastructure well. 1967 01:47:27.359 --> 01:47:29.680 And I also retract part of my conclusion on that 1968 01:47:29.720 --> 01:47:31.199 because maybe I'm pin with a bit of a broad 1969 01:47:31.199 --> 01:47:34.520 brush because these broken windows that you know, if you 1970 01:47:34.560 --> 01:47:36.359 have a neighborhood with a bunch of broken windows, people 1971 01:47:36.399 --> 01:47:38.159 think it's, oh, my god, is a terrible neighborhood. They 1972 01:47:38.159 --> 01:47:39.439 don't want to invest in it, they don't want to 1973 01:47:39.439 --> 01:47:42.079 move into it. Fix the windows, fix the streets, fix 1974 01:47:42.119 --> 01:47:45.680 the roads, and it may inject much needed capital, jobs 1975 01:47:45.680 --> 01:47:47.439 and possibilities for people that are there. 1976 01:47:47.800 --> 01:47:50.079 Yeah. Well, the people in a neighborhood support the whole 1977 01:47:50.079 --> 01:47:53.119 broken windows thing, at least in many of the neighborhoods. 1978 01:47:53.199 --> 01:47:54.560 Yeah, and why wouldn't you? 1979 01:47:54.920 --> 01:47:55.600 Absolutely? 1980 01:47:55.720 --> 01:47:58.359 I mean, if it reduces crime and statistically it's proven 1981 01:47:58.439 --> 01:48:01.399 to do that, then yes, embrace it. It's like I 1982 01:48:01.439 --> 01:48:04.720 want police in my neighborhood because it is well I 1983 01:48:04.840 --> 01:48:06.960 determined to bad guys hanging out in the corner. 1984 01:48:06.760 --> 01:48:08.079 And selling drugs.

If 2077 01:52:40.119 --> 01:52:41.840 I can just boil it down to that conclusion. 2078 01:52:42.039 --> 01:52:46.279 Yeah, the this motion was put forward on the on 2079 01:52:46.520 --> 01:52:50.199 February five at the February fifth meeting, and during that meeting, 2080 01:52:50.840 --> 01:52:54.279 the Vice Mayor said the quiet part out loud. She 2081 01:52:54.439 --> 01:52:59.920 told the council. We promised this during the campaign. Well, 2082 01:53:00.680 --> 01:53:04.039 she may have promised it to certain constituencies, but that 2083 01:53:04.199 --> 01:53:06.640 wasn't the promise that all the voters received. All the 2084 01:53:06.640 --> 01:53:09.720 promise that we received is that this money would be 2085 01:53:09.800 --> 01:53:13.760 spent on existing infrastructure to attack the four hundred million 2086 01:53:13.800 --> 01:53:15.399 dollars worth of deferred maintenance. 2087 01:53:17.199 --> 01:53:19.960 You don't know to whom this promise was made. 2088 01:53:20.119 --> 01:53:23.479 It was not a campaign out on the road, campaign, 2089 01:53:23.560 --> 01:53:26.720 out loud pledge that maybe Sharon Coolidge from the enquire 2090 01:53:26.760 --> 01:53:29.720 could have reported on or something like that. Well, yes, 2091 01:53:29.880 --> 01:53:33.079 does this sounds suspiciously like pg Sittenfeld. Well, if you 2092 01:53:33.159 --> 01:53:36.119 elect me, or you give funds to me for my campaign, 2093 01:53:36.119 --> 01:53:42.079 then I will give you this this this Rising fifteen program. 2094 01:53:42.359 --> 01:53:45.359 Yeah. Well, I would think that she made the promise 2095 01:53:45.520 --> 01:53:50.000 to the movers and shakers in those fifteen neighborhoods. But 2096 01:53:50.079 --> 01:53:52.199 I think there I think it's probably narrowed down to 2097 01:53:52.199 --> 01:53:55.199 even fewer neighborhoods in the fifteen that they were making 2098 01:53:55.239 --> 01:54:01.600 promises to. But we don't really know exactly who, huh. 2099 01:54:01.640 --> 01:54:05.800 But I think there were individuals that were made promises. 2100 01:54:05.520 --> 01:54:09.119 Like you'll be on the board if we get this through, 2101 01:54:09.159 --> 01:54:12.600 if you get me elected, we established this Rising fifteen program. 2102 01:54:13.279 --> 01:54:14.720 We're gonna let you control the money. 2103 01:54:15.159 --> 01:54:19.680 Well, yeah, along those promises, along those lines, absolutely. 2104 01:54:20.840 --> 01:54:25.239 Maybe someone in law enforcement could look into that, because 2105 01:54:25.279 --> 01:54:27.760 again I'm just thinking of PG sitting Feld, who recently 2106 01:54:27.760 --> 01:54:29.399 was in the news since you lost this appeal. 2107 01:54:29.680 --> 01:54:32.199 You know, on PG, the thing that I've always wondered 2108 01:54:32.319 --> 01:54:35.399 is why were they doing business in a hotel room. 2109 01:54:36.039 --> 01:54:37.319 Yeah, that's a red flag. 2110 01:54:37.560 --> 01:54:39.000 That's absolutely a red flag. 2111 01:54:39.039 --> 01:54:43.199 So most people, if your quote unquote doctor is scheduling 2112 01:54:43.239 --> 01:54:45.199 surgery at a motel six, then you've got a real 2113 01:54:45.239 --> 01:54:50.640 problem on your hands for that plastic surgery that you want. Yeah, Todd, 2114 01:54:50.680 --> 01:54:53.039 I'm not sure how to unpackage this any further than 2115 01:54:53.079 --> 01:54:54.960 we have unless there's other details that you want to 2116 01:54:55.039 --> 01:54:57.079 just put exclamation points on the subject matter. 2117 01:54:57.640 --> 01:55:02.039 Well, again, I think people need to understand what the 2118 01:55:02.079 --> 01:55:06.640 statuses of these funds. The trust fund has actually grown 2119 01:55:06.960 --> 01:55:08.720 by almost one hundred million dollars. 2120 01:55:08.880 --> 01:55:11.039 Well, the market's been doing really well. Yes, if it 2121 01:55:11.119 --> 01:55:13.079 hadn't grown by that much, then you have to worry 2122 01:55:13.079 --> 01:55:14.079 about it being mismanaged. 2123 01:55:14.159 --> 01:55:16.199 Right, So, yeah, it's not that great of a return. 2124 01:55:16.239 --> 01:55:18.640 It's like five point five or something. Percent. 2125 01:55:18.840 --> 01:55:21.479 So it's consistent with like S and P. Five hundred 2126 01:55:21.520 --> 01:55:22.000 kind of growth. 2127 01:55:22.079 --> 01:55:26.119 Yes, And in September of twenty four this is the 2128 01:55:26.119 --> 01:55:29.239 way the law is written. For some reason, the trust 2129 01:55:29.840 --> 01:55:35.000 Fund board decided to spend or send fifty six million 2130 01:55:35.039 --> 01:55:37.920 dollars to the city. But they get that on July 2131 01:55:38.039 --> 01:55:41.920 the first, and they get it in four tranches July 2132 01:55:42.159 --> 01:55:47.720 every quarter. So my argument to the board was that 2133 01:55:47.800 --> 01:55:51.520 I hope they gauged the city's ability to spend that money, 2134 01:55:51.840 --> 01:55:54.800 so that if you give them twenty five percent of 2135 01:55:54.840 --> 01:55:58.760 that on July one, you need to find out on 2136 01:55:58.840 --> 01:56:01.880 October one whether they've even used it, whether they've spent it, 2137 01:56:01.880 --> 01:56:04.520 because if they're not spending it, the trust fund should 2138 01:56:04.600 --> 01:56:06.479 keep it and let it earn more money. 2139 01:56:06.800 --> 01:56:07.159 Amen. 2140 01:56:07.680 --> 01:56:11.840 So, like I said at the meeting at the Railway 2141 01:56:11.880 --> 01:56:14.840 Trust Board, I was encouraged. I think I don't think 2142 01:56:14.840 --> 01:56:18.600 we're that far apart in terms of considering that. 2143 01:56:18.840 --> 01:56:22.039 Well, if someone can ray if there is some legal 2144 01:56:22.319 --> 01:56:25.880 objection to this, you know, it's not consistent with the 2145 01:56:27.079 --> 01:56:29.279 nature of the fund, the purpose of the fund. It 2146 01:56:29.279 --> 01:56:31.520 would be a violation of our produciary duties to let 2147 01:56:31.560 --> 01:56:33.720 ten percent of this money come out and go really 2148 01:56:33.760 --> 01:56:37.920 anywhere other than existing infrastructure. They the board would be 2149 01:56:37.960 --> 01:56:39.800 the ones to raise that type of challenge if it 2150 01:56:39.840 --> 01:56:40.399 could be raised. 2151 01:56:40.520 --> 01:56:43.359 Well, I wish they would, but it's really not clear 2152 01:56:43.399 --> 01:56:47.039 how directly involved they're going to get like that. I 2153 01:56:47.039 --> 01:56:49.000 think they're just want to turn on and off to 2154 01:56:49.039 --> 01:56:52.880 spict of money and then disclose to the public of 2155 01:56:52.920 --> 01:56:54.840 what's happening with that money. I think they're going to 2156 01:56:54.920 --> 01:56:56.880 leave it up to other parties to really well. 2157 01:56:56.920 --> 01:56:58.880 I would think that they have a larger role than 2158 01:56:58.920 --> 01:57:01.680 that in this entire Todd, I would love I would 2159 01:57:01.760 --> 01:57:02.119 love that. 2160 01:57:02.239 --> 01:57:07.239 I recommended that they appoint a compliance officer that looks 2161 01:57:07.239 --> 01:57:11.000 at the board's compliance as well as the city's compliance 2162 01:57:11.000 --> 01:57:14.399 with the law. I recommended that back in November of 2163 01:57:14.600 --> 01:57:17.119 twenty three. I don't think they're going to go that far, 2164 01:57:17.239 --> 01:57:18.159 but that's what I would do. 2165 01:57:18.399 --> 01:57:21.319 I nominate former Inspector General Todd Senser for that position. 2166 01:57:21.720 --> 01:57:24.920 Anybody out there want to second that motion. Todd, thank 2167 01:57:24.920 --> 01:57:27.439 you so much for coming in studio. Had no idea 2168 01:57:27.520 --> 01:57:29.880 about this or the details of it, and you're the 2169 01:57:29.880 --> 01:57:31.560 one that's got the era, like I said, hand on 2170 01:57:31.560 --> 01:57:33.399 the pulse of what's going on in the city of Cincinnati, 2171 01:57:33.399 --> 01:57:34.880 and I can't thank you enough.

We'll have you on back again real soon. 2175 01:57:42.239 --> 01:57:44.680 Todd seven fifty five come up with some fifty six 2176 01:57:44.760 --> 01:57:47.520 George Brunneman from Restore Liberty dot Us.

Without 2202 01:59:00.920 --> 01:59:02.399 further ado, that'll be the bottom of the hour eight 2203 01:59:02.399 --> 01:59:05.560 thirty the meantime, George Brennman from Restoreliberty dot Us check 2204 01:59:05.600 --> 01:59:06.039 it out. 2205 01:59:06.680 --> 01:59:08.680 Welcome back, my friend.

It's 2209 01:59:18.800 --> 01:59:22.800 the anniversary of my engagement thirty three years ago, so 2210 01:59:22.960 --> 01:59:26.000 oh wow, extra special dish my wife and me. But no, 2211 01:59:26.159 --> 01:59:28.000 she won't be getting flowers. My wife is a very 2212 01:59:28.000 --> 01:59:31.039 frugal woman and she doesn't have expectations like that for me, 2213 01:59:31.119 --> 01:59:33.159 which is good because it frees me of the obligation 2214 01:59:33.239 --> 01:59:34.640 to have to remember to go out and do it. 2215 01:59:35.239 --> 01:59:37.239 She's listening right now, so I'm not saying out loud 2216 01:59:37.239 --> 01:59:41.760 anythings she doesn't know already. Anyway, you want to start 2217 01:59:41.840 --> 01:59:44.479 with the Restora Liberty dot Us event at the farm 2218 01:59:44.520 --> 01:59:47.079 because I have your website up right now and I 2219 01:59:47.119 --> 01:59:48.680 know you have a meeting coming up. 2220 01:59:50.079 --> 01:59:54.319 Yes, this is actually a really great opportunity for everybody. 2221 01:59:54.399 --> 01:59:58.720 So we're teaming up again with Americans for Prosperity. Oh great, 2222 01:59:58.720 --> 02:00:02.319 they're big push right now. Now is something called protect Prosperity. 2223 02:00:02.399 --> 02:00:06.479 So the idea is the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act 2224 02:00:06.760 --> 02:00:11.840 that was in effect from twenty eighteen that Trump passed. 2225 02:00:11.880 --> 02:00:15.079 And you keep hearing that it's tax cuts for the rich. 2226 02:00:15.199 --> 02:00:18.159 But I'll know some insight on that in a sec 2227 02:00:18.279 --> 02:00:20.600 But they want to make that permanent, and I think 2228 02:00:20.600 --> 02:00:23.560 that's a fantastic idea. So the meeting is going to 2229 02:00:23.600 --> 02:00:27.600 be focused on getting people to sign petitions and to 2230 02:00:27.680 --> 02:00:30.960 take action, to call Congress and basically say, hey, let's 2231 02:00:31.000 --> 02:00:35.199 make this tax cuts permanent, not you know, another four 2232 02:00:35.279 --> 02:00:37.279 years so that we have to go through this nonsense again. 2233 02:00:37.359 --> 02:00:41.039 Let's make them permanent. And in return, AF He's going 2234 02:00:41.079 --> 02:00:43.560 to buy your dinner. Oh wow, you get some free 2235 02:00:43.680 --> 02:00:48.800 farm food at it, so oh Man, February twenty six Yeah, 2236 02:00:48.840 --> 02:00:49.520 it's a great deal. 2237 02:00:49.680 --> 02:00:52.520 It is the Farm, a West Side institution. If you've 2238 02:00:52.520 --> 02:00:55.039 ever been there, I understand they have some outstanding chicken. 2239 02:00:55.079 --> 02:00:57.279 I've been to quite a few wedding receptions there the 2240 02:00:57.319 --> 02:01:02.000 old west Side keg and pretzels and chips, wedding wet receptions. Anyway, 2241 02:01:02.319 --> 02:01:04.960 fond memories of the farm. So the Farm on the 2242 02:01:05.039 --> 02:01:08.680 twenty sixth, doors open at five point thirty free food. 2243 02:01:08.760 --> 02:01:11.399 Thank you to Americans for prosperity. I talked to Donovan 2244 02:01:11.399 --> 02:01:13.560 and Eil earlier in the week about the Rains Act, 2245 02:01:13.600 --> 02:01:15.600 which we're trying to push through here in Ohio because 2246 02:01:15.680 --> 02:01:17.840 every state needs a Rains Act as well as we 2247 02:01:17.880 --> 02:01:20.560 need one on the federal government level. You're familiar with 2248 02:01:20.560 --> 02:01:21.680 that effort in Ohio. 2249 02:01:23.399 --> 02:01:25.039 Tell me again what it is. I know, I am, 2250 02:01:25.119 --> 02:01:26.000 but I can't remember the. 2251 02:01:25.960 --> 02:01:29.039 Acronym any I can't remember what it stands for. But 2252 02:01:29.319 --> 02:01:33.560 any regulation created by a regular Tory body pursuing to 2253 02:01:33.640 --> 02:01:36.119 some law that's passed that has a financial impact of 2254 02:01:36.119 --> 02:01:39.159 more than a million dollars needs to be specifically approved 2255 02:01:39.159 --> 02:01:41.279 by the legislative branch. It's a way of honing in 2256 02:01:41.319 --> 02:01:42.720 the runaway administrative state. 2257 02:01:43.239 --> 02:01:47.439 Yeah, yeah, I remember that. Yeah, definitely. So Donovan's going 2258 02:01:47.479 --> 02:01:49.000 to be there. He's going to be our host for 2259 02:01:49.079 --> 02:01:52.239 the or just for the podcast. I was just talking 2260 02:01:52.239 --> 02:01:54.479 to Joe before game on that we're probably going to 2261 02:01:54.560 --> 02:01:57.239 record it in advance and play it live at the 2262 02:01:57.560 --> 02:02:01.039 at the meeting while people were eating, so we don't 2263 02:02:01.119 --> 02:02:03.560 have to deal with the noise behind, but they still 2264 02:02:03.600 --> 02:02:05.680 get to see the podcast. So we'll be talking to 2265 02:02:06.199 --> 02:02:10.600 Donovan about that. You know, at the federal level, they're 2266 02:02:10.640 --> 02:02:14.560 concentrating on this Tax Cuts Act, making it permanent. At 2267 02:02:14.600 --> 02:02:17.720 the state level, they're working on the you know, effort 2268 02:02:17.800 --> 02:02:21.479 to get rid of the income tax, and of course 2269 02:02:21.560 --> 02:02:24.159 my push is always, before you get rid of that, 2270 02:02:24.239 --> 02:02:26.319 let's get rid of the property tax, because at least 2271 02:02:26.560 --> 02:02:29.880 income tax is a percentage of what you've got coming in, 2272 02:02:30.039 --> 02:02:33.119 whereas a property tax is a percentage is something you've 2273 02:02:33.159 --> 02:02:37.680 never seen. It's unrealized gains, it is. And now that 2274 02:02:37.760 --> 02:02:40.079 I am on a fixed income, it's like, holy cow, 2275 02:02:40.439 --> 02:02:43.560 every time they raise property taxes, I'm less likely to 2276 02:02:43.560 --> 02:02:44.800 be able to afford my house. 2277 02:02:45.159 --> 02:02:48.520 You know, crazy, I think of my conversation with Breitbart's 2278 02:02:48.560 --> 02:02:50.840 Joe Pollock from earlier in the week. He actually lives 2279 02:02:50.840 --> 02:02:54.479 in Pacific Palisades where the wildfires raised in California, and 2280 02:02:54.520 --> 02:02:56.439 he made an interesting point because he says, I'm sick 2281 02:02:56.479 --> 02:02:58.439 of hearing that it's just a bunch of these wealthy 2282 02:02:58.520 --> 02:03:00.279 millionaires that live there. He said, there have been people 2283 02:03:00.279 --> 02:03:03.359 that living there for decades. When they got their house, 2284 02:03:03.399 --> 02:03:05.800 they probably paid like forty or fifty grand for it, 2285 02:03:05.800 --> 02:03:08.119 and then it's now worth three and a half million 2286 02:03:08.279 --> 02:03:10.479 dollars simply by virtue of the real estate that is 2287 02:03:10.520 --> 02:03:13.640 sitting on. They can't afford to rebuild that, they can't 2288 02:03:13.640 --> 02:03:17.399 afford to, you know, buy what they were previously living in. 2289 02:03:17.439 --> 02:03:19.199 A lot of people on fixed incomes, a lot of 2290 02:03:19.239 --> 02:03:22.720 seniors there, a lot of people's lives just been completely devastated. 2291 02:03:22.720 --> 02:03:25.159 But that's the same effect these property tax increases have. 2292 02:03:25.239 --> 02:03:27.279 You know, you buy your house twenty thirty years ago, 2293 02:03:27.359 --> 02:03:29.239 you paid one hundred grand for it, and then the 2294 02:03:29.239 --> 02:03:31.239 assessor comes in and said, oh, by the way, since 2295 02:03:31.319 --> 02:03:33.600 COVID and the real estate shortage is now worth like 2296 02:03:33.960 --> 02:03:36.720 six hundred thousand dollars, we're going to calculate your real 2297 02:03:36.840 --> 02:03:38.000 estate tax based on that. 2298 02:03:38.960 --> 02:03:40.079 I mean, yeah, I. 2299 02:03:40.000 --> 02:03:43.000 Think we need to keep the focus on property taxes. 2300 02:03:44.000 --> 02:03:46.520 You know, over here in Coren Township, they're getting ready 2301 02:03:46.520 --> 02:03:49.760 to raise them again. They've failed to police levies. It's 2302 02:03:49.800 --> 02:03:53.319 just nonsense. And you know, to Todd's inzers Point, and 2303 02:03:53.359 --> 02:03:56.119 I don't know how Todd says stay so soft spoken, 2304 02:03:56.479 --> 02:03:59.239 uscribed the coolest. 2305 02:03:58.920 --> 02:03:59.920 Q cover around. 2306 02:04:01.600 --> 02:04:04.399 There's all these added things that they want to buy 2307 02:04:04.439 --> 02:04:07.840 and do. We just got slock cameras here in Coal Raine. 2308 02:04:07.880 --> 02:04:11.640 I hate those things. It's like snooping on everywhere you 2309 02:04:11.680 --> 02:04:15.079 go with your car. But you know, they they just 2310 02:04:15.159 --> 02:04:18.720 keep planning more things to spend, and they're totally forgetting 2311 02:04:19.000 --> 02:04:21.399 the stuff they're supposed to do, police, fire roads. 2312 02:04:21.479 --> 02:04:21.920 That's it. 2313 02:04:22.520 --> 02:04:24.520 I don't know why we got anything else what. 2314 02:04:25.439 --> 02:04:26.800 I think we need to keep up that. 2315 02:04:26.720 --> 02:04:29.199 Focus, I would say, so. I mean, you know, when 2316 02:04:29.239 --> 02:04:31.600 Todd Zinser says we got four hundred and fifty million 2317 02:04:32.000 --> 02:04:37.800 dollars worth of outstanding obligations for infrastructure already on the books, 2318 02:04:37.800 --> 02:04:39.840 I mean, and I look back and I think, huh, 2319 02:04:40.000 --> 02:04:43.279 let's see here, when's the last time Republicans ran the 2320 02:04:43.319 --> 02:04:45.399 city of Cincinnati. No, not that it's a party stripe, 2321 02:04:45.399 --> 02:04:49.079 because Republicans are terrible in overspending and spending as well. 2322 02:04:49.520 --> 02:04:52.279 But Democrats have been in charge of the city for 2323 02:04:52.319 --> 02:04:55.279 so long. And my favorite illustration here comes again Sunset. 2324 02:04:55.359 --> 02:04:57.680 You drive on Sunset, you need an alignment carry down 2325 02:04:57.720 --> 02:05:01.560 to Story. It's like a road from Gaza. It's been 2326 02:05:01.640 --> 02:05:02.479 falling forever. 2327 02:05:02.800 --> 02:05:04.640 Used to be like that too, for decades. 2328 02:05:04.840 --> 02:05:06.680 Yeah, and they don't take care of what they got, 2329 02:05:06.760 --> 02:05:07.920 and then they want to bring us all in all 2330 02:05:08.000 --> 02:05:11.399 kinds of brand new, shiny stuff and things which literally 2331 02:05:11.600 --> 02:05:14.640 tends to only benefit one particular neighborhood. I'm thinking of 2332 02:05:14.720 --> 02:05:16.680 the streetcar along those lines, you know what I'm saying. 2333 02:05:17.119 --> 02:05:18.159 Oh golly. Yeah. 2334 02:05:18.319 --> 02:05:20.079 Meanwhile, the Western Hills Viaduct is. 2335 02:05:20.079 --> 02:05:23.880 Literally falling down, quite literally, but they at least haven't 2336 02:05:23.920 --> 02:05:26.319 they already addressed that in terms of allocating funding or 2337 02:05:26.479 --> 02:05:29.600 Am I being overly optimistic about the status of that one. 2338 02:05:30.920 --> 02:05:33.640 I think you're being optimistic. You're reacting to the headlines 2339 02:05:33.680 --> 02:05:37.319 and not the content. I haven't seen anything. I mean, 2340 02:05:37.399 --> 02:05:39.479 as far as I know, the concrete still falls down 2341 02:05:39.520 --> 02:05:41.159 from the top to the bottom. 2342 02:05:41.560 --> 02:05:42.880 Well, that's the way it does work. 2343 02:05:43.039 --> 02:05:46.960 It's nonsense. So Wednesday's meeting at the end of the 2344 02:05:46.960 --> 02:05:52.039 months focused on taxes. The March twenty six meetings can 2345 02:05:52.079 --> 02:05:54.840 be all about restore wellness, and boy, do we have 2346 02:05:54.880 --> 02:05:58.479 stuff to celebrate today. I cannot believe RFK made it through. 2347 02:05:58.680 --> 02:06:02.279 I know that is such a huge, huge thing. 2348 02:06:02.439 --> 02:06:04.000 Yeah, and you know, I got a lot of Republican 2349 02:06:04.039 --> 02:06:05.640 friends like you're letting them, you know, the wolf into 2350 02:06:05.640 --> 02:06:08.199 the henhouse kind of thing. He's nefarious. And I was like, yeah, 2351 02:06:07.840 --> 02:06:10.640 I'm aware of his record. I know what he has 2352 02:06:10.680 --> 02:06:13.279 supported in the past. I know how he feels about, 2353 02:06:13.279 --> 02:06:16.079 for example, like climate change and stuff. But he's on 2354 02:06:16.279 --> 02:06:20.600 record is demonstrably interested in and worried and concerned about 2355 02:06:20.640 --> 02:06:24.000 the nation's health. I mean, oh, that is a consistent 2356 02:06:24.039 --> 02:06:28.479 position he's had. And his role, his role is limited 2357 02:06:28.800 --> 02:06:31.279 to that kind of thing. You know what I'm saying. 2358 02:06:31.560 --> 02:06:34.520 He doesn't have any control over you know, EPA doesn't 2359 02:06:34.520 --> 02:06:37.159 have any control over the Green New Deal or anything. 2360 02:06:37.760 --> 02:06:40.800 So bringing some focus and clarity to what's going into 2361 02:06:40.800 --> 02:06:43.159 our bodies, giving us the information so we can make 2362 02:06:43.199 --> 02:06:46.159 informed decisions or choose to turn our backs on the 2363 02:06:46.319 --> 02:06:47.039 on the information. 2364 02:06:47.159 --> 02:06:49.720 As long as we've got it. That's his point. 2365 02:06:50.039 --> 02:06:54.319 Yeah, Yeah, there are certain events that are significant for 2366 02:06:54.479 --> 02:06:59.359 symbolic reasons, like I think having RFK Junior, someone with 2367 02:06:59.399 --> 02:07:02.880 the Kennedy name, at the front of the AHHS is 2368 02:07:02.920 --> 02:07:08.359 a great symbolic significance. But there's also the idea that 2369 02:07:08.399 --> 02:07:11.600 this is going to be an agent of change, so 2370 02:07:11.680 --> 02:07:16.520 a truly transformative significance. His effort is going to turn 2371 02:07:16.840 --> 02:07:19.960 the food pyramid upside down. It's going to turn this 2372 02:07:20.039 --> 02:07:25.000 whole industry now that's focused on mRNA. I can't call 2373 02:07:25.039 --> 02:07:29.800 them vaccines. They're not vaccines. They're basically rewriting your operating system. 2374 02:07:30.239 --> 02:07:33.279 Excuse me, for your body. These things are horrible. I 2375 02:07:33.279 --> 02:07:35.680 could see how they could treat maybe some kind of 2376 02:07:35.720 --> 02:07:38.880 genetic disease or some kind of you know, where your 2377 02:07:38.920 --> 02:07:42.600 body's not manufacturing a certain chemical. mRNA is great for that, 2378 02:07:42.920 --> 02:07:46.399 going after something like a virus that mutates constantly. It's 2379 02:07:46.439 --> 02:07:48.960 just not made for that. And I don't think anybody 2380 02:07:49.159 --> 02:07:52.920 was told that at the beginning, certainly, nor the risks, 2381 02:07:53.119 --> 02:07:55.119 nor the fact that it's going to be a permanent 2382 02:07:55.159 --> 02:07:57.840 part of your DNA after they injected in your arm. 2383 02:07:58.479 --> 02:08:00.720 I think he's going to bring a lot of light 2384 02:08:00.840 --> 02:08:03.680 down on that and his focus on just giving you 2385 02:08:03.720 --> 02:08:07.760 the information is great. Yeah, the problem we've had is 2386 02:08:07.920 --> 02:08:10.000 the information has always been out there, but it was 2387 02:08:10.119 --> 02:08:14.199 hidden until Twitter became a free platform. 2388 02:08:14.560 --> 02:08:15.119 X yep. 2389 02:08:15.359 --> 02:08:18.079 You know you couldn't find this information, but now you can. 2390 02:08:18.279 --> 02:08:20.840 You know, all of the studies that talk about the 2391 02:08:20.880 --> 02:08:24.680 effect on the hearts, effect on you know, sudden death 2392 02:08:24.920 --> 02:08:28.119 and the turbo cancers and all these things that are 2393 02:08:28.159 --> 02:08:31.800 coming out post COVID, you can now get that information. 2394 02:08:32.479 --> 02:08:35.079 You can also get the historical stuff. I'm kind of 2395 02:08:35.079 --> 02:08:37.359 looking at the Restore Wellness Twitter feed right now. 2396 02:08:37.439 --> 02:08:39.880 Well, i'll tell you what on that recording on George 2397 02:08:39.920 --> 02:08:41.800 on that note, let's pause because we're to break, and 2398 02:08:41.840 --> 02:08:44.479 then because I wanted to elaborate on your Restore Wellness 2399 02:08:44.520 --> 02:08:47.479 initiative and bring people's attention to that. So we'll dive 2400 02:08:47.520 --> 02:08:49.399 into the details on that and a little more about 2401 02:08:49.439 --> 02:08:52.560 the the RFK thing. Right right after these brief forged were. 2402 02:08:52.479 --> 02:08:54.760 Right back fifty five KRC. 2403 02:08:57.000 --> 02:08:57.479 John Roner. 2404 02:08:57.479 --> 02:08:58.119 What the forecast says. 2405 02:08:58.159 --> 02:09:00.560 We're going to start out sunny, turn partly cloudy and cloudy, 2406 02:09:00.600 --> 02:09:03.920 sky's rolling fully tonight, breezy conditions in a high on 2407 02:09:03.960 --> 02:09:06.159 thirty six a day. Rain will be around by five 2408 02:09:06.159 --> 02:09:08.560 o'clock tomorrow morning, they say over night go to thirty two. 2409 02:09:09.039 --> 02:09:11.800 All day rain tomorrow with a flood watching effect beginning 2410 02:09:11.840 --> 02:09:15.520 at one pm. Tomorrow's High forty seven down to thirty overnight. 2411 02:09:15.600 --> 02:09:17.960 They say rain will continue, two to three inches of 2412 02:09:18.079 --> 02:09:20.119 rain possible, and I hope that's just not I hope 2413 02:09:20.119 --> 02:09:23.880 that's collectively no clarity on that point. High thirty nine 2414 02:09:23.920 --> 02:09:26.319 On Sunday, the rain moves out and the floodwatch ends 2415 02:09:26.319 --> 02:09:28.359 in the afternoon time for traffic update. 2416 02:09:28.720 --> 02:09:30.399 From the U SEE Health Traffic Center. 2417 02:09:30.439 --> 02:09:33.119 For more than two hundred years, the experts you see 2418 02:09:33.159 --> 02:09:36.640 healthy've been giving heard patients and chance and better outcomes. 2419 02:09:37.000 --> 02:09:39.600 That's boundless care. You can trust, expect more, and you 2420 02:09:39.640 --> 02:09:42.600 see health dot com step bound seventy five. That's those 2421 02:09:42.640 --> 02:09:45.560 for a couple of extra minutes through Lachland. Otherwise, highway 2422 02:09:45.600 --> 02:09:48.960 trafficking pretty good shape. There's a reckon Harrison that's on 2423 02:09:49.079 --> 02:09:53.560 Gilby ed Simonson truck into a utility pole, Chuck Ingram 2424 02:09:53.560 --> 02:09:54.520 on fifty five KR. 2425 02:09:54.640 --> 02:09:55.920 See the talk station. 2426 02:10:04.920 --> 02:10:09.119 A twenty fifty five KRC detalk station. I didn't mention 2427 02:10:09.199 --> 02:10:10.760 all morning. I guess I should have because quite a 2428 02:10:11.239 --> 02:10:13.640 I get texts on my phone quite a few times 2429 02:10:13.680 --> 02:10:16.079 during the morning show from listeners chiming in. I also 2430 02:10:16.119 --> 02:10:19.079 get email. Well, I left my phone at home again, 2431 02:10:19.680 --> 02:10:21.199 so I didn't get any text and I can't get 2432 02:10:21.199 --> 02:10:23.680 into my email because I have two factor authentication. So 2433 02:10:23.840 --> 02:10:26.520 basically I'm screwed. So apologies, I'm not being rude. I 2434 02:10:26.600 --> 02:10:28.600 just don't know until I get home if somebody's reached 2435 02:10:28.600 --> 02:10:31.399 out to me. Without further deo, let's continue our conversation 2436 02:10:31.560 --> 02:10:34.960 on health with George Renaman at George Brunnman. You launched 2437 02:10:35.560 --> 02:10:38.319 a restore Wellness initiative, and we talked about this last 2438 02:10:38.359 --> 02:10:39.680 time you were on the program, and so on the 2439 02:10:39.720 --> 02:10:42.880 heels of your comments about RFK Junior being confirmed by 2440 02:10:42.880 --> 02:10:45.239 the Senate as a Health and Human Services Secretary, which 2441 02:10:45.319 --> 02:10:49.399 you and I both view is a good thing. How's 2442 02:10:49.439 --> 02:10:52.359 the wellness effort going? And remind my listeners what the 2443 02:10:52.359 --> 02:10:54.039 restore wellness effort is all about. 2444 02:10:55.479 --> 02:10:59.000 So the Restore Wellness dot org is a website that's 2445 02:10:59.079 --> 02:11:01.640 meant to give you information to help you take care 2446 02:11:01.680 --> 02:11:06.319 of yourself the whole focus. Similarly, you know, our restore 2447 02:11:06.319 --> 02:11:09.000 wellness was always a restored liberty was always focused on 2448 02:11:09.359 --> 02:11:13.159 personal responsibility. You know, you've got to take personal responsibility, 2449 02:11:13.159 --> 02:11:15.560 don't count on the government. Right here, we're taking a 2450 02:11:15.640 --> 02:11:19.960 really similar thing where your health should be your personal responsibility. 2451 02:11:20.319 --> 02:11:26.319 So we're trying to provide resources, meetings, we're working on podcasts. 2452 02:11:26.319 --> 02:11:29.640 We're supposed to get the first one soon to tell 2453 02:11:29.680 --> 02:11:32.960 you here's the information. So the best spot we've got 2454 02:11:33.039 --> 02:11:35.079 right now on the page is if you go to 2455 02:11:35.119 --> 02:11:38.000 the homepage. We've got our Twitter feed at the top. 2456 02:11:38.520 --> 02:11:42.119 We've got some suggestions, and then we have the resources 2457 02:11:42.159 --> 02:11:44.640 that you can take a look at the books that 2458 02:11:44.680 --> 02:11:47.960 are coming out. There's a whole block of them now 2459 02:11:48.000 --> 02:11:52.000 that are just super informative on giving you real clues 2460 02:11:52.520 --> 02:11:55.720 on why it is that you feel like your overweight, 2461 02:11:55.760 --> 02:11:58.000 Why is it that you have eyed blood pressure, why 2462 02:11:58.079 --> 02:12:01.119 is it that you're pre diabetic or got type two diabetes? 2463 02:12:02.119 --> 02:12:05.640 And wow, of course all of these seem to come 2464 02:12:05.680 --> 02:12:08.319 to very similar conclusions. You got to get back to 2465 02:12:08.359 --> 02:12:11.840 what your body was designed for. We weren't designed to 2466 02:12:11.880 --> 02:12:15.960 eat carbs. You know, cave men didn't have carbs laying around. 2467 02:12:16.000 --> 02:12:18.960 They also didn't have processed sugar and corn syrup of summer. 2468 02:12:19.000 --> 02:12:21.640 But that was about it, George, and so your body's 2469 02:12:21.720 --> 02:12:22.600 just not made for it. 2470 02:12:22.760 --> 02:12:27.399 They also didn't have process sugar and corn syrup right right. 2471 02:12:28.520 --> 02:12:29.800 I don't know if you saw my face. 2472 02:12:30.439 --> 02:12:34.600 Corn syrup alone. And I just hope that ourf cake 2473 02:12:34.680 --> 02:12:36.479 and just get rid of that entirely. 2474 02:12:36.600 --> 02:12:36.800 Yeah. 2475 02:12:36.800 --> 02:12:38.560 Well, would you talk to some of the Republicans and 2476 02:12:38.640 --> 02:12:40.800 farm states and the farm bill, George, because they're the 2477 02:12:40.800 --> 02:12:43.520 ones that push corn down our necks because the farmers 2478 02:12:43.560 --> 02:12:45.640 benefit from it. Not that I'm against the American farmer, 2479 02:12:45.720 --> 02:12:48.560 but Lord almighty, they manipulate the system to give all 2480 02:12:48.640 --> 02:12:51.520 kinds of subsidies to manifest or to grow corn, which 2481 02:12:51.560 --> 02:12:53.399 we then have to burn in our gas tanks and 2482 02:12:53.399 --> 02:12:56.079 convert into corn syrup, and it goes into literally every 2483 02:12:56.119 --> 02:12:56.960 food that we've got. 2484 02:12:57.279 --> 02:12:57.399 It. 2485 02:12:57.439 --> 02:13:01.039 Really that really angers me, really, and most of its. 2486 02:13:00.920 --> 02:13:04.880 Republic political crosses over with the health because the whole 2487 02:13:04.920 --> 02:13:07.520 reason we have high fruitose corn syrup is because the 2488 02:13:07.600 --> 02:13:10.560 United States government gets a ton of subsidies for corns. 2489 02:13:11.199 --> 02:13:19.039 Otherwise sugar would be cheaper. Ah, there's all these insidious interconnections. 2490 02:13:19.079 --> 02:13:22.439 So the whole food pyramid. Do you know who responsible 2491 02:13:22.479 --> 02:13:22.680 for that? 2492 02:13:23.159 --> 02:13:27.880 I don't know doctor Fauci, no, Senator McGovern, George mc. 2493 02:13:29.479 --> 02:13:32.600 Yes, he got fed up with all of the conflicting 2494 02:13:32.600 --> 02:13:36.920 information and he basically said, hey, you know, the Quaker 2495 02:13:36.960 --> 02:13:41.039 oats and the grains industry really will benefit from this 2496 02:13:41.159 --> 02:13:44.319 if we say that carbs are the source of your 2497 02:13:44.359 --> 02:13:48.319 mainstay in the diet. Had nothing to do with health data. 2498 02:13:48.560 --> 02:13:50.000 It had to do with who was giving him the 2499 02:13:50.079 --> 02:13:54.279 most money, polarly with just about everything else. You see, 2500 02:13:54.319 --> 02:13:58.159 why are we taking all these cholesterol drugs? Well, nobody 2501 02:13:58.239 --> 02:14:01.199 gets to talk about the side effects us, but you 2502 02:14:01.239 --> 02:14:04.199 know it's a number you can track. Well, it turns out, 2503 02:14:04.319 --> 02:14:08.680 you know, going after cholesterols like going after fire trucks 2504 02:14:08.680 --> 02:14:12.600 for causing fires. You know, the cholesterols there after the injury, 2505 02:14:12.720 --> 02:14:16.199 not before, just like firemen don't show up until after 2506 02:14:16.239 --> 02:14:16.840 there's a fire. 2507 02:14:16.960 --> 02:14:18.279 Well, and since your brain. 2508 02:14:18.199 --> 02:14:21.039 An entire industry concentrating on getting rid of. 2509 02:14:21.039 --> 02:14:24.039 It, and since your brain has comprised the fats, something 2510 02:14:24.079 --> 02:14:26.479 tells me, and I know there's been wide speculation, maybe 2511 02:14:26.520 --> 02:14:29.479 even research studies on it, the statins having an impact 2512 02:14:29.520 --> 02:14:33.119 on your brain, ergo, maybe having a connection with Alzheimer's, 2513 02:14:33.560 --> 02:14:35.960 leading to my next conversation with my guests on her 2514 02:14:36.000 --> 02:14:39.079 book You Were Still Dancing, which relates to Alzheimer's Hey, 2515 02:14:39.079 --> 02:14:40.840 real quick, I can't let you go. You're talking about 2516 02:14:40.840 --> 02:14:43.319 the vaccines, I guess, and I presume you saw the 2517 02:14:43.399 --> 02:14:46.680 article about Children's hospital not allowing a transplant patient to 2518 02:14:46.680 --> 02:14:48.760 move forward with her transplant because she didn't get the 2519 02:14:48.760 --> 02:14:52.479 COVID vaccine. Isn't it rather strange since heart conditions are 2520 02:14:52.520 --> 02:14:54.720 one of the problems that they've cropped up as a 2521 02:14:54.760 --> 02:14:57.960 relationship to COVID nineteen we're talking about a heart transplant pation. 2522 02:14:59.560 --> 02:15:02.119 I And on top of that, you know, one of 2523 02:15:02.119 --> 02:15:04.960 the main side effects of all those vaccines and boosters 2524 02:15:05.119 --> 02:15:09.920 is reduced immune system. And when you're getting a transplant, 2525 02:15:10.000 --> 02:15:11.960 Holy cow, I mean, do you want to have that 2526 02:15:12.079 --> 02:15:16.000 on top of having a transplant. It's just the fariest 2527 02:15:16.079 --> 02:15:19.039 beyond words. I like the idea that they need to 2528 02:15:19.039 --> 02:15:22.239 step back and say, listen, you know, this isn't working. 2529 02:15:23.199 --> 02:15:26.880 COVID doesn't affect young people in the first place. And 2530 02:15:26.960 --> 02:15:29.600 I think that's what we can look for is we've 2531 02:15:29.680 --> 02:15:33.199 got at the national level started addressing these big questions, 2532 02:15:33.720 --> 02:15:37.159 but Restore Wellness is here for the local level to say, hey, 2533 02:15:37.560 --> 02:15:39.640 there are things we can do. We're trying to get 2534 02:15:40.399 --> 02:15:43.199 some events put together where we bring in you know, 2535 02:15:43.279 --> 02:15:48.880 local practitioners, you know, like chiropractors, nutritionists, you know, massage therapists, 2536 02:15:48.920 --> 02:15:51.319 all of these things that you have a hard time 2537 02:15:51.359 --> 02:15:54.720 getting your insurance to cover, but actually help you more 2538 02:15:54.760 --> 02:15:56.760 than the little pill that they want to give you 2539 02:15:56.800 --> 02:16:00.000 at the doctor's office. I just think this is a huge, 2540 02:16:00.079 --> 02:16:01.840 huge opportunity to get better. 2541 02:16:02.640 --> 02:16:04.359 And I've heard you're having. 2542 02:16:04.159 --> 02:16:05.239 Some success with keto. 2543 02:16:05.600 --> 02:16:07.239 Yeah, fantastic news. 2544 02:16:07.319 --> 02:16:09.119 Well, I just I put a post on Facebook the 2545 02:16:09.199 --> 02:16:11.239 other day just to let folks know that I was 2546 02:16:11.319 --> 02:16:14.359 recommending to them because I've had such great success feeling 2547 02:16:14.640 --> 02:16:18.239 better because I cut sugar out of my diet. And 2548 02:16:18.279 --> 02:16:20.359 in putting this post up, I just randomly because I 2549 02:16:20.359 --> 02:16:22.239 know Mountain Dews got all kinds of sugar, and I 2550 02:16:22.239 --> 02:16:26.640 foind it's got like forty seven grams of sugar, and 2551 02:16:26.920 --> 02:16:29.960 one can a Mountain dew forty five grams, right, and 2552 02:16:30.119 --> 02:16:34.000 that's an insane amount. That's like eleven tea spoons. And 2553 02:16:34.600 --> 02:16:36.600 if you're crazy enough to drink a sixty four ouncer, 2554 02:16:36.639 --> 02:16:39.040 that's more than a full cup of sugar. 2555 02:16:39.719 --> 02:16:41.959 And people drink a mountain dews all day long. I'm like, 2556 02:16:42.159 --> 02:16:42.840 it's killing you. 2557 02:16:42.879 --> 02:16:43.079 Man. 2558 02:16:43.159 --> 02:16:44.680 You're gonna feel so much better if you get it 2559 02:16:44.680 --> 02:16:47.079 out of your diet. So and forty five grams of 2560 02:16:47.120 --> 02:16:49.559 sugar is more than I have in an entire week anymore. 2561 02:16:49.600 --> 02:16:51.319 And I just feel so much better for it. And 2562 02:16:51.360 --> 02:16:53.799 I'm praying it has an impact on my cancer because 2563 02:16:53.879 --> 02:16:57.920 cancer loves sugar. Do your own research on that, or 2564 02:16:57.920 --> 02:17:01.520 maybe find it over on respect wellness dot com someday. 2565 02:17:01.559 --> 02:17:03.600 George Brenneman, keep up the great work.

I just give my little 2589 02:18:09.920 --> 02:18:12.120 readers a foundation so they know it's a local author. 2590 02:18:12.159 --> 02:18:14.120 I like to support local authors. I think it's really 2591 02:18:14.159 --> 02:18:16.200 kind of neat that we've gotten them in the audience 2592 02:18:17.040 --> 02:18:19.600 because there's some really talented folks out there. But your 2593 02:18:19.600 --> 02:18:23.280 book about Alzheimer's and Sadly you were, how old were 2594 02:18:23.319 --> 02:18:28.120 you when your grandmother experiences the challenge presented by Alzheimer's. 2595 02:18:28.319 --> 02:18:33.479 I was probably sixteen, mid teens. I would say I 2596 02:18:33.559 --> 02:18:37.399 was still living at home and my grandmother when my 2597 02:18:37.399 --> 02:18:41.200 grandmother was diagnosed, she came to live with my family. 2598 02:18:41.520 --> 02:18:43.879 At that time, there were six kids in the time, 2599 02:18:43.920 --> 02:18:45.920 there were just two of us left, myself and my 2600 02:18:46.000 --> 02:18:52.319 brother Kevin, so Maul moved in. They looked at nursing 2601 02:18:52.360 --> 02:18:58.040 homes and small, small family homes my mom and her sister, 2602 02:18:58.159 --> 02:19:01.840 but they just could and come to an agreement on 2603 02:19:02.040 --> 02:19:04.799 where to leave her, and my mom just she wanted 2604 02:19:04.840 --> 02:19:06.799 her with us, so my grandmother moved in. 2605 02:19:08.079 --> 02:19:08.319 Well. 2606 02:19:09.479 --> 02:19:12.920 Having lived through this with my father struggling with Alzheimer's 2607 02:19:12.920 --> 02:19:17.319 dimension I ultimately ended his life. The challenge is presented 2608 02:19:17.360 --> 02:19:20.040 by having to care for a loved one, and not 2609 02:19:20.120 --> 02:19:24.680 just the emotional component, which is obviously overwhelming, but my 2610 02:19:24.799 --> 02:19:28.760 mom was just run down to the point of exhaustion 2611 02:19:28.920 --> 02:19:31.479 because you know, it's a literal twenty four hour day, 2612 02:19:31.559 --> 02:19:34.079 seven day a week proposition dealing with the challenges these 2613 02:19:34.559 --> 02:19:35.559 folks struggle with. 2614 02:19:37.159 --> 02:19:39.719 Right, you know, And that was my mom was also 2615 02:19:39.799 --> 02:19:43.760 working part time, you know, I remember I was in 2616 02:19:43.799 --> 02:19:46.239 my summers, I was a camp counselor. And during one 2617 02:19:46.280 --> 02:19:49.319 of these years that my grandma was with us, I 2618 02:19:49.440 --> 02:19:54.399 came back in the fall and my mom had aged overnight, 2619 02:19:54.840 --> 02:19:58.000 and it was so dramatic for me and traumatic to 2620 02:19:58.120 --> 02:20:01.719 see that just to in a short ten weeks when 2621 02:20:01.760 --> 02:20:05.680 I was gone, how much she had changed. And you 2622 02:20:05.760 --> 02:20:09.559 don't realize it. I wasn't the primary caregiver, you know, 2623 02:20:09.600 --> 02:20:12.760 I was witnessing what was going on, but you don't 2624 02:20:12.799 --> 02:20:17.600 take the full blunt of caregiving. As a teenager, even 2625 02:20:17.680 --> 02:20:19.719 I would help mom, or we would shit my brother 2626 02:20:19.760 --> 02:20:21.959 and I would sit with mal so Mom and Dad 2627 02:20:22.000 --> 02:20:27.920 could go out. But it is absolutely a life changing 2628 02:20:29.159 --> 02:20:34.959 aging process for the caregiver. And you know that's why I, 2629 02:20:35.600 --> 02:20:39.440 you know, encourage people who talk to me who are 2630 02:20:39.440 --> 02:20:42.920 going through it to basically to take your oxygen first, 2631 02:20:42.959 --> 02:20:47.079 to take care of yourself, to make sure that you're 2632 02:20:47.120 --> 02:20:49.760 eating right. You know, of all the research I did 2633 02:20:49.760 --> 02:20:53.920 for this book, it's the Mediterranean diet is the one 2634 02:20:53.959 --> 02:20:56.760 diet that just kept popping up, kind of went to 2635 02:20:56.840 --> 02:21:01.559 the top of diets for people, not just to prevent Alzheimer's, 2636 02:21:01.840 --> 02:21:06.639 but just to lead a healthier lifestyle. And that's one 2637 02:21:06.639 --> 02:21:10.719 of the things that you know I would recommend, but sleep, exercise, 2638 02:21:11.280 --> 02:21:15.520 and in some form of just clearing your mind. I meditated, 2639 02:21:16.520 --> 02:21:20.079 you know. And another really important thing is just taking 2640 02:21:20.120 --> 02:21:22.799 people up on it on the offer to sit with 2641 02:21:22.879 --> 02:21:26.120 your loved one, or finding someone who will sit with 2642 02:21:26.159 --> 02:21:28.280 their life, or paying someone just sit with your life, 2643 02:21:28.319 --> 02:21:30.840 because you need to get away. You need to just 2644 02:21:30.920 --> 02:21:34.200 step back from it. And even if you're just going 2645 02:21:34.200 --> 02:21:37.280 outside and taking a small walk and just breathing the 2646 02:21:37.319 --> 02:21:40.920 fresh air, well, but it's just all encompassing. 2647 02:21:41.600 --> 02:21:45.040 Mary and Ben's author of you were still dancing. This 2648 02:21:46.159 --> 02:21:50.760 Alzheimer's situation, though, developed further because once your grandmother, I 2649 02:21:50.760 --> 02:21:53.120 guess it was it after she passed that your mother 2650 02:21:53.200 --> 02:21:55.520 came down with the symptoms of Alzheimer's. 2651 02:21:56.520 --> 02:22:00.840 Yes, yes, my grandmother passed, and you know it was 2652 02:22:00.920 --> 02:22:05.479 probably it was another I would say fifteen twenty years 2653 02:22:05.520 --> 02:22:10.479 when Mom started showing the signs, but she actually you know, 2654 02:22:10.920 --> 02:22:14.319 Alzheimer's is now known to begin in the brain twenty 2655 02:22:14.479 --> 02:22:18.840 you know, two decades before the symptoms first appear. So 2656 02:22:19.520 --> 02:22:23.040 while we're outliving our lives, there's a lot going on 2657 02:22:23.120 --> 02:22:26.799 inside our head that you know, we don't know about now. Now, 2658 02:22:26.879 --> 02:22:30.200 there is early testing if you're brave enough to do it, 2659 02:22:30.239 --> 02:22:33.799 and I haven't done that yet, but I have friends 2660 02:22:33.799 --> 02:22:36.040 that have, and I think you really have to be 2661 02:22:36.120 --> 02:22:39.000 careful to make sure that you have the personality that 2662 02:22:39.079 --> 02:22:43.399 can handle that, maybe you have an increased risk of 2663 02:22:43.479 --> 02:22:47.879 developing Alzheimer's. I know myself if if I forgot a word, 2664 02:22:48.000 --> 02:22:51.040 which I sometimes do, the first place to know is 2665 02:22:51.079 --> 02:22:55.040 I'm getting Alzheimer's, and just the bandits that might follow out, 2666 02:22:55.120 --> 02:22:55.879 Oh my god. 2667 02:22:57.200 --> 02:23:00.479 Ben I have the exact same reaction. I'll be sixty 2668 02:23:00.520 --> 02:23:02.360 in September, and I like to just pass it. I 2669 02:23:02.360 --> 02:23:04.360 was like, jeez, Brian, you're getting old. It's not as 2670 02:23:04.399 --> 02:23:06.200 sharp as you used to be. And I'm struggling to 2671 02:23:06.239 --> 02:23:08.280 find a word. But then again, I immediately think of 2672 02:23:08.319 --> 02:23:12.959 my father, and it's unsettling, to say the least. 2673 02:23:14.079 --> 02:23:18.440 So it is good, no go ahead in. 2674 02:23:18.399 --> 02:23:22.079 The absence of a cure, and there is none right now. 2675 02:23:23.520 --> 02:23:26.520 That's I think you really have to weigh whether you 2676 02:23:26.559 --> 02:23:29.600 can handle knowing that you have a greater chance. 2677 02:23:29.639 --> 02:23:29.760 Now. 2678 02:23:29.799 --> 02:23:31.799 Of course, you can go back to all the things 2679 02:23:32.000 --> 02:23:34.440 what do I need to do to prevent it? But 2680 02:23:34.520 --> 02:23:36.959 you still have to know if you have the mindset 2681 02:23:37.639 --> 02:23:41.559 that can you know, not go to turnal the places 2682 02:23:41.879 --> 02:23:45.239 whenever you know we're my keys, or you know, you 2683 02:23:45.319 --> 02:23:46.959 walk into a room and what did I come in 2684 02:23:46.959 --> 02:23:50.040 here for? And I think that we all do it 2685 02:23:50.120 --> 02:23:53.760 to some extent. So when you have a history in 2686 02:23:53.799 --> 02:23:56.840 your family, it's easy to go there, and then it's 2687 02:23:56.879 --> 02:24:02.360 easy to kind of become consumed bias. Yeah, that's you know, 2688 02:24:02.559 --> 02:24:05.040 just to try to not go there. 2689 02:24:05.239 --> 02:24:05.840 Yeah. 2690 02:24:05.840 --> 02:24:08.520 Actually, I can see it bringing on full blown depression 2691 02:24:08.559 --> 02:24:10.319 if you, I mean, if you, if you're dwelling on 2692 02:24:10.360 --> 02:24:14.399 it enough. It's just it's terrib because the disease is insidious. 2693 02:24:15.200 --> 02:24:19.120 I mean it, I actually, and I don't know this. 2694 02:24:19.200 --> 02:24:21.440 That sounded like disrespect for my dad or that I 2695 02:24:21.479 --> 02:24:23.760 was happy he died, But what a weight was looked 2696 02:24:23.760 --> 02:24:26.399 that he was miserable. He didn't know who anybody was. 2697 02:24:26.479 --> 02:24:29.399 He laid in his bed and had no function, you know, 2698 02:24:29.479 --> 02:24:33.319 no control over his bowels, which is obviously a common 2699 02:24:33.360 --> 02:24:35.360 problem in these situations, which is one of the reasons 2700 02:24:35.399 --> 02:24:37.879 why you're tending to someone twenty four to seven. Uh, 2701 02:24:38.000 --> 02:24:40.479 it's it's just he I knew he was in a 2702 02:24:40.520 --> 02:24:43.520 better place, that he was released. 2703 02:24:44.680 --> 02:24:48.360 Right exactly, and and I and I believe that's the word. 2704 02:24:49.159 --> 02:24:51.959 And that's how I feel thought my grandmother, I felt 2705 02:24:51.959 --> 02:24:55.120 like she was just let go, she was released. And 2706 02:24:55.200 --> 02:24:58.000 I think that's just such a nice way to look 2707 02:24:58.040 --> 02:25:02.719 at it. It helps if you if you it depends 2708 02:25:02.760 --> 02:25:05.760 on you know where you come from spiritually. But but 2709 02:25:05.879 --> 02:25:10.040 if you do believe that we are, you know, we 2710 02:25:10.120 --> 02:25:13.239 are our soul encompasses a boy r. However you look 2711 02:25:13.280 --> 02:25:18.200 at it, you know, to be released from those chains 2712 02:25:18.360 --> 02:25:21.000 and they really do hold you down when you have 2713 02:25:21.079 --> 02:25:23.000 a disease such as Alzheimer's. 2714 02:25:23.520 --> 02:25:26.799 Well, if you're faced with Alzheimer's in your family, what 2715 02:25:27.120 --> 02:25:30.440 having lived this now two times, you obviously saw it all, 2716 02:25:30.920 --> 02:25:33.000 how do you what do you recommend people to do 2717 02:25:33.079 --> 02:25:35.639 in terms of dealing with this challenge and maintain some 2718 02:25:35.680 --> 02:25:37.559 sort of I know you mentioned the exercise and taking 2719 02:25:37.559 --> 02:25:40.520 walks and all that related to caregiving because it is exhausting, 2720 02:25:40.559 --> 02:25:43.520 But what about just coping with the general reality that 2721 02:25:43.520 --> 02:25:44.159 they're living with. 2722 02:25:44.200 --> 02:25:51.719 What are your recommendations the reality that that caregiver lives 2723 02:25:51.719 --> 02:25:53.799 with or the reality that the patient lives with. 2724 02:25:53.920 --> 02:25:54.680 No the caregiver. 2725 02:25:54.760 --> 02:25:56.719 I was thinking more of the caregiver, because quite often 2726 02:25:56.959 --> 02:26:00.879 the patient themselves loses any sense of recollection or even 2727 02:26:01.000 --> 02:26:04.239 ability to recognize you as a as a relative. 2728 02:26:05.959 --> 02:26:09.959 Right, you know, So for myself personally, I do and 2729 02:26:10.000 --> 02:26:12.040 I think about it every day. That's the first thing. 2730 02:26:12.079 --> 02:26:16.360 I Alzheimer's is no more than a couple of degrees 2731 02:26:16.399 --> 02:26:20.120 away from you know, my thought process wherever I am. 2732 02:26:20.559 --> 02:26:25.159 I do believe strongly in a one meditation. I know 2733 02:26:25.200 --> 02:26:27.840 I spoke with that earlier, but I can't emphasize that 2734 02:26:28.040 --> 02:26:32.479 enough to even go into like a deep breathing clearing 2735 02:26:32.559 --> 02:26:36.799 your mind, just kind of setting the tone for the 2736 02:26:36.879 --> 02:26:40.559 day as you you know, get I believe that I 2737 02:26:40.600 --> 02:26:43.760 always start my day with exercise, some form of yoga, 2738 02:26:44.120 --> 02:26:47.399 some form of our Wilbek exercise, and just try to 2739 02:26:47.440 --> 02:26:49.360 you know, give my body the best chance I can 2740 02:26:49.479 --> 02:26:55.079 to to keep from you know, the problem with Alzheimer's, 2741 02:26:55.079 --> 02:26:58.719 it's not a problem. That issue with Alzheimer's is that 2742 02:26:58.760 --> 02:27:01.719 Alzheimer's is very much like any other disease that affects 2743 02:27:01.719 --> 02:27:04.440 the heart right. So if you have high blood pressure, 2744 02:27:04.479 --> 02:27:09.520 if you have high cholesterol, those those need to be 2745 02:27:09.639 --> 02:27:11.799 recognized and then they need to be taken care of 2746 02:27:11.879 --> 02:27:16.920 broad ender control. Whatever means that is. I am on 2747 02:27:18.000 --> 02:27:23.040 a statin. I you know, I don't feel like I 2748 02:27:23.280 --> 02:27:26.879 should be on a status because I'm in states and 2749 02:27:27.040 --> 02:27:29.600 I eat right, and I exercise, and I try to 2750 02:27:29.639 --> 02:27:34.719 do all the right things. But apparently genetically I'm predisposed 2751 02:27:34.959 --> 02:27:38.639 to having high cholesterol. Yeah, I tried my doctor ride 2752 02:27:38.719 --> 02:27:41.760 to you know, do it, you know with diet, do 2753 02:27:41.840 --> 02:27:43.799 it with exercise. You gave me a lot of time. 2754 02:27:44.600 --> 02:27:47.479 Well, let me strongly encourage you to look into bioidentical 2755 02:27:47.520 --> 02:27:50.280 hormone replacement therapy, which is what the Europeans do to 2756 02:27:50.360 --> 02:27:53.319 solve the cholesterol problem. Plus it really makes you feel good, 2757 02:27:53.760 --> 02:27:59.239 I mean really good. So Okay, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy 2758 02:27:59.280 --> 02:28:01.559 you made your hormone could be out of balance, low estrogen, 2759 02:28:01.639 --> 02:28:04.280 low tester and whatever testoster, whatever happens to be. But 2760 02:28:04.639 --> 02:28:07.159 if you do some research on it, they don't use 2761 02:28:07.200 --> 02:28:10.319 statins in Europe from what I've been told by physicians. 2762 02:28:09.760 --> 02:28:10.479 That I deal with. 2763 02:28:10.600 --> 02:28:13.440 So just a thought, but it also deals with a 2764 02:28:13.479 --> 02:28:16.200 whole bunch of other problems, you know, metapausal problems and 2765 02:28:16.319 --> 02:28:20.799 you know, sexual desire and uh just it's it's it's 2766 02:28:20.879 --> 02:28:22.639 kind of magical.
