Speaker 1: Five O five.
Speaker 2: I think you about KRC the talk stations Happy Friday.
Speaker 2: It is putting an exclamation point on the fact that
Speaker 2: it is Friday. Thank you Joe Strecker for the exclamation point.
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas right here, glad to be. I hope you're
Speaker 2: having a wonderful morning, and I hope you have a
Speaker 2: wonderful day and weekend. Get that out of the way
Speaker 2: and talk about what's coming up. Well, this is Friday,
Speaker 2: meaning tech Friday with Dave hatter As. The Biden administration
Speaker 2: says it won't enforce the TikTok man Republicans and Democrats
Speaker 2: are scrambling to figure out a way to keep TikTok around. Why, Well,
Speaker 2: it's like the comment of me the other day about
Speaker 2: menthol six when the FDA was talking about banning menthol.
Speaker 2: The Democrats found out that there are a lot of
Speaker 2: people who usually vote for Democrats, namely black folks. They
Speaker 2: like mental cigarettes in a large majority of the black
Speaker 2: smokers lean menthol. So you don't do that because you
Speaker 2: really piss people off and you might lose votes. Well,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people on TikTok, and a whole
Speaker 2: lot of people of both political stripes are on TikTok
Speaker 2: and are elected officials. In spite of the fact that
Speaker 2: they passed the law banning TikTok and Joe Biden cided
Speaker 2: it into law, they're now trying to figure out in
Speaker 2: spite of the fact that there is no current buyer
Speaker 2: out there, they're trying to figure out a way to
Speaker 2: keep TikTok alive and not anger their constituents. Well tech
Speaker 2: fridays they've had it will tell you every week, don't
Speaker 2: get on TikTok, stay off it. It's just soaking up
Speaker 2: all of your data. That's the point, helping out the
Speaker 2: Chinese Communist Party and its nefarious goals. Anyway, today Apple
Speaker 2: to pay a settlement over claims Siri was eavesdropping on you.
Speaker 2: Understanding the way those things work, I don't know how
Speaker 2: that could be a shock to anybody that there was eavesdropping. Anyway,
Speaker 2: Brad Pitt accused of scamming a woman out of money.
Speaker 2: Apparently someone pretending to be using I suppose artificial intelligence
Speaker 2: or something. Brad Pitt actually did scam some woman out
Speaker 2: of hundreds of thousands of dollars. A heartbreaking story. So
Speaker 2: we'll find out how that happened and how you can
Speaker 2: avoid it from happening, which is the ultimate point of
Speaker 2: talking about something like that. And meet your new one
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy five thousand dollars artificial intelligence girlfriend whatever,
Speaker 2: Jared not. Jared is an author. He'll join the program
Speaker 2: at seven forty with a book Tiny Blunders, Big Disasters.
Speaker 2: This is book two, kind of. I think it's a
Speaker 2: lighthearted look at it's thirty nine tiny mistakes that changed
Speaker 2: the world forever. We've talked with Jared in the past
Speaker 2: and it's usually a pretty funny conversation about how the
Speaker 2: tiniest little thing can result in the most tremendous influences
Speaker 2: on history, like wars being lost because someone dropped a helmet,
Speaker 2: the things of that nature. So we had them on
Speaker 2: for book one. We've got to get this new book.
Speaker 2: That'll happen at seven point forty. Doctor Charles Camarada with
Speaker 2: the book Mission out of Control. He'll be on at
Speaker 2: eighth five to talk about that book. Astronaut doctor Charles
Speaker 2: Camarata uncovered a recurring cause of accidents that no one
Speaker 2: has articulated yet. Lots of research. Culture that places a
Speaker 2: premium on learning and the quest for knowledge and what
Speaker 2: that means shows how to develop high performing teams and networks,
Speaker 2: such as research teams to solve anomalies rapidly, which can
Speaker 2: help prevent catastrophes in complex, high risk, high reliability organizations
Speaker 2: mission out of control astronaut research Engineer inventor. He'll be
Speaker 2: on at eight oh five to talk about the details
Speaker 2: in that book, a popy of which you'd be able
Speaker 2: to get at fifty five KRC dot com. Speaking of
Speaker 2: catastrophes and concerns and dangers. Lots of police officers are
Speaker 2: going to be in Washington, d C. For the inauguration.
Speaker 2: Kind of frightening stuff. I think it was Epoch Times
Speaker 2: where I found this information. But US national security agencies
Speaker 2: are warning that the inauguration will be, in their words,
Speaker 2: an attractive potential target for violent extremists. They don't have
Speaker 2: any specific credible threats threats, but they're really geared up
Speaker 2: for this because of all the chatter online and all
Speaker 2: the prior threats that have manifested themselves, like the attempted
Speaker 2: assassination A couple of attempted assassinations of Donald Trump, said
Speaker 2: potential perpetrators, particularly those with election related grievances. Hmm, I
Speaker 2: wonder what that means. I might see this swearing in
Speaker 2: as their last opportunity to influence election results through violence.
Speaker 2: That's in the statement. Group of Intelligence and Law Enforcement
Speaker 2: Agencies wrote in a threat assessment. That threat assessment hasn't
Speaker 2: been made public, but Politico got a copy of it. Sorry,
Speaker 2: that's where I got this. Francis chung at Politico was
Speaker 2: able to look at that. They leaked it. I suppose
Speaker 2: they say the concerns reflect a heightened potential, potentially violent
Speaker 2: environment in which Trump will assume power. Law enforcement beefing
Speaker 2: up security efforts. Get a load of this. Police from
Speaker 2: all over the country going to be in DC City
Speaker 2: Police Department reinforced with four thousand officers, Police Chief Pamela
Speaker 2: Smith said apt press conference earlier this week, in addition
Speaker 2: to one thousand officers supporting Capitol Police. In total, there
Speaker 2: will be approximately twenty five thousand law enforcement and military
Speaker 2: personnel site on site to secure the inauguration. According to
Speaker 2: Special Agent in charge for the Secret Service Washington Field Office,
Speaker 2: Matt McCool, He said that on Monday to press conference,
Speaker 2: so they've been on heightened alert since the assassination attempts.
Speaker 2: The threat Assessment, compiled by the FBI, Secret Capital Police,
Speaker 2: Washington DC Government and Supreme Courts Police Department, laid out
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of scenarios of the types of people who
Speaker 2: could make it to the rally. Foreign terrorists, domestic extremists,
Speaker 2: loan wolves can initiate bomb hoaxes. Previously alerted to us
Speaker 2: by FBI Director Ray Outgoing, he is about lone wolves,
Speaker 2: individuals with no online presence, and even if they were
Speaker 2: monitoring online presence real time, which they can't considering the
Speaker 2: amount of data they gather up. Listen to my conversation
Speaker 2: with Judge and Poltana from earlier this week. Anyway they
Speaker 2: can initiate bob hoaxes, swatting calls, drone flights, vehicle ranning attacks.
Speaker 2: Just you could just use your imagination and probably come
Speaker 2: up with a book of potential potential threats or potential
Speaker 2: options that these crazy people would have to inflict some
Speaker 2: sort of damage or pain or maybe murder. They talked
Speaker 2: about Iran, which has already out loud, said they want
Speaker 2: to kill Trump because of well the killing of General
Speaker 2: I'm solo money. The threat assessment said that seven hundred
Speaker 2: thousand users on the social media app Telegram threatened to
Speaker 2: assassinate Trump the day after the election day. Jeez, that
Speaker 2: was a responsible video posted by media media entity aligned
Speaker 2: with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Group. Now, obviously you have
Speaker 2: to take that with a grain of salt. Did seven
Speaker 2: hundred thousand users really get influenced by the Islamic Revolutionary
Speaker 2: Guard Group? Of course that figure could have been blown
Speaker 2: up by artificial intelligence and bock farms. But there it
Speaker 2: is right there for all to read. Who are well
Speaker 2: looking out for the safety and security the president, for
Speaker 2: the inauguration and elsewhere, they say. Law enforcement officials also
Speaker 2: worried that protests surrounding the inauguration could turn tumultuous. A
Speaker 2: bunch of groups have applied for demonstration permits, including some
Speaker 2: groups that previously arrange protests that ended in arrest. Threat
Speaker 2: assessments said pass protests by some of these individuals have
Speaker 2: involved traffic blockades, trespassing, property destruction, and resisting arrest. ANTIPA
Speaker 2: much document elson other protests related to the conflict in gods.
Speaker 2: They have disrupted Capitol Hill with little warning hmm, and
Speaker 2: that that situation might inspire extremists here in our country,
Speaker 2: many of whom may have come over the southern border
Speaker 2: without any vetting process. AH former counter terrorism official who
Speaker 2: helped with security planning for Joe Biden's inauguration, a guy
Speaker 2: named John Cohen, so that these events face. This year's
Speaker 2: event faces more threats than Biden's in spite of the
Speaker 2: fact that the swear again came right after the riots
Speaker 2: in Capitol Hill. Even know of that as someone who
Speaker 2: was involved in the planning for the last inauguration, the
Speaker 2: threat environment was dangerous. As I sit here today, based
Speaker 2: on the work I've been doing with law enforcement for
Speaker 2: the past four years, the threat environment today is even
Speaker 2: more volatile and more dangerous than it was in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one, pointing to the assassination attempts, recent threats of
Speaker 2: the Capitol broadening social attitudes that violence and destruction are
Speaker 2: acceptable ways to express political views. Yep, no doubt about that.
Speaker 2: So fingers crossed. I personally, you know, it's like me
Speaker 2: Or's eve on Times Square. That's like the last place
Speaker 2: I'd want to be. I mean, first off, have you
Speaker 2: ever see an overhead shot in the yars on Times Square?
Speaker 2: Where do people go to the bathroom? Just a practical question.
Speaker 2: That's just the idea that there's a million people standing around.
Speaker 2: How many law enforcement officers are standing around, not enough
Speaker 2: ratio wise to adequately protect each and every individual that's
Speaker 2: milling around on Times Square. Same thing at the inauguration.
Speaker 2: Have no figures, and I haven't seen any estimates on
Speaker 2: the number of people that are planning on going to Washington,
Speaker 2: DC for the inauguration. But that's another one of those events.
Speaker 2: I just don't think i'd like to be there. Keep
Speaker 2: my head down anyhow. It's okay, though. The FBI closed
Speaker 2: its DEI office in December, so they no longer have
Speaker 2: an office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion getting ahead of
Speaker 2: the Trump administration. They didn't say why they closed the office,
Speaker 2: but earlier this month, Senator Marshall Blackburn sent a letter
Speaker 2: to the FBI director Christopher Ray, claiming that the radical
Speaker 2: DEI practices had endangered Americas following the year's day a
Speaker 2: terrorist attack in New Orleans, claiming deconcerned that the bureau
Speaker 2: has prioritized diversity equity inclusion over its core mission of
Speaker 2: protecting the American people YEP. One former Special Agent Nicole Parker,
Speaker 2: speaking with Fox News pointed out that Director Ray made
Speaker 2: it clear that threats acrossing against the nation are at
Speaker 2: all time high. Yes, I even read the notice from
Speaker 2: Director Ray flashing red lights. He said in his congressional testimony.
Speaker 2: There's no time for clubs, groups, or social agendas that
Speaker 2: divert time, attention, and resources away from the mission of
Speaker 2: the FBI to protect the American people. Nicole Parker said,
Speaker 2: pointing out DEI is a dangerous distraction. I have no
Speaker 2: issue in celebrating whatever you would like regarding your heritage
Speaker 2: or gender or religion, but that should be done on
Speaker 2: your own time and not with the US taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 2: While on official bureau times. Somebody put exclamation points after that.
Speaker 2: I wonder who did point it out. Also, the FPI
Speaker 2: needs to folks on hiring the best and brightest solely
Speaker 2: on meritocracy. Ah, I welcome change of pace from the
Speaker 2: last four years and then the whole entire term of
Speaker 2: the Obama administration. Let's focus on merit and then this
Speaker 2: is something I thought was bizarre talk about what the
Speaker 2: FBI is focusing on.
Speaker 3: This.
Speaker 2: Former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker said that there are
Speaker 2: numerous other groups aside from the DEI Office within the FBI, Ready,
Speaker 2: the American, Indian and Alaskan Native Advisory Committee, the Asian
Speaker 2: Pacific American Advisory Committee, Black Affairs Diversity Committee, Bureau of Equality,
Speaker 2: Hispanic Advisory Board, Near and Middle East Advisory Committee, Persons
Speaker 2: with Disability Advisory Committee, Veterans of Fair Advisory Committee, and
Speaker 2: the Women's Advisory Committee. Huh note the breaking down of
Speaker 2: people by individual and sometimes minor classifications. What the hell anyway,
Speaker 2: Chelsea said. The Bureau is numerous resource groups, including Blacks
Speaker 2: and Government, FBI, African American Millennials, FBI Family, FBI Jewish Americans,
Speaker 2: FBI Latinas for Empowerment, Advancement and Development, FBI PRIDE, Federal
Speaker 2: Asian Pacific American Council, Federal the Employed Women and From
Speaker 2: Boots to Suits, and the Toastmasters Club. The DEI office
Speaker 2: was created in twenty twelve during the Obama administration. Parenthetically speaking, so,
Speaker 2: I don't know if the closing of the DEI office
Speaker 2: the FBI was timed well given all the resources and
Speaker 2: time and effort and training classes and everything else they've
Speaker 2: been focusing on within the FBI, rather than, as the
Speaker 2: former agent noted, focusing on fighting crimes stick arounds five
Speaker 2: eighteen right now fifty five kirs to detalk station five
Speaker 2: one three seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred
Speaker 2: and eight two three talk TWN five fifty on AT
Speaker 2: and T phones.
Speaker 1: I'll be right back.
Speaker 2: This is what's happening. The wings are back. We are
Speaker 2: so refreshing five point two. I thinky five cares that
Speaker 2: we talked intation.
Speaker 3: Friday.
Speaker 2: Well, maybe we'll bring some sanity in the SNAP program.
Speaker 2: Representative of Josh Breaching is pushing the Healthy SNAP Act,
Speaker 2: which has the effect of barring junk food from being
Speaker 2: eligible for purchase under these supplemental nutritional Assistance program SNAP.
Speaker 2: I think this is a wonderful development. I don't I
Speaker 2: have never ever understood. You know, I worked at a
Speaker 2: grocery store. My first job was at IgA as a
Speaker 2: stock boy, and the first time I ever saw it
Speaker 2: used to be food stamps, physical food stamps was our
Speaker 2: worked at Findlay Market. But I watched is people would buy,
Speaker 2: you know, really really crappy, crappy food, you know, and
Speaker 2: you're paying for that as a taxpayer. And I thought,
Speaker 2: you know, this is a simple way of sort of
Speaker 2: bringing a more nutritional reality of folks that are on
Speaker 2: life's margins in the SNAP program, but why should you
Speaker 2: be paying for candy bars and soft drinks. President Trump
Speaker 2: is given a mandate by the majority of Americans to
Speaker 2: make America healthy again, and those in his administration like
Speaker 2: RFK Junior and Senator Marco Rubia have directly advocated for
Speaker 2: eliminating junk food purchases with SNAP, says Josh reaching from Oklahoma.
Speaker 2: Someone wants to buy junk food on their own dime,
Speaker 2: that is up to them, he said, But what we're
Speaker 2: saying is, don't ask the taxpayer to pay for it
Speaker 2: and then also expect the taxpayer to pick up the
Speaker 2: tab for the resulting health consequences. So it would bar
Speaker 2: the use of food stamps to buy soft drinks, candy,
Speaker 2: ice cream, prepared desserts like cakes, pies, cookies, and similar products.
Speaker 2: According to the legislation that's been circulated. I find no
Speaker 2: problem with that, he said. His bill. In addition to
Speaker 2: the obvious health improvements, this bill will also result in
Speaker 2: significant savings and taxpayer funds for such programs. Programs is Medicaid,
Speaker 2: where approximately one in four Americans are currently enrolled. You said,
Speaker 2: federally funded healthcare for obesity and obesia related diseases has
Speaker 2: reached four hundred billion dollars annually. That's according to the
Speaker 2: Senate Joint Economic Committee report from twenty twenty three. We
Speaker 2: can't afford to go down this road any longer as
Speaker 2: a nation. Yes, obesity is one element of problem, and
Speaker 2: it also is linked to cancer. And I saw this
Speaker 2: terrible statistics. You know me, cancer sucks, and it's wonderful.
Speaker 2: Mortality rates for cancer have dropped thirty four percent since
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety one. However, it's reported cancer rates in women
Speaker 2: younger than fifty are now eighty two percent higher than
Speaker 2: men in that age category, which is a fifty one
Speaker 2: percent increase since two thousand and two. That's frightening. Now,
Speaker 2: that's just diagnosed. It's not mortality which has declined because
Speaker 2: the treatments are better and people are being better about,
Speaker 2: you know, getting ahead of things and looking out for
Speaker 2: cancer and trying to detect it and paying attention to
Speaker 2: issues with their own bodies. And the gain accord of
Speaker 2: the reporting increase in cancer rates among women in certain
Speaker 2: ethnic groups maybe due to obesity, genetics, and environmental factors.
Speaker 2: Going back to my point on obesity. There is a
Speaker 2: direct corollary between likelihood of getting cancer and obesity. So
Speaker 2: maybe the SNAP nutrition improvements, just by way of denying
Speaker 2: people the ability to buy well soft drinks with food
Speaker 2: with SNAP may go a step in the right direction.
Speaker 2: It's for your own good. Well, you can't take that
Speaker 2: away from me. Why not you accept federal dollars with
Speaker 2: strings attached? And if the public general public at large
Speaker 2: is expected to pay everybody else's medical claims, medical claims
Speaker 2: that derive from bad behavior that could be avoided, then
Speaker 2: this is a step in the right direction. That's my take.
Speaker 2: Go it yway five twenty six, fifty five Krcity Talk station.
Speaker 2: You got some local stores. I'd prefer hearing from you
Speaker 2: if you want to give me a call though, either way,
Speaker 2: we go be back in a minute.
Speaker 4: Fifty five KRC.
Speaker 2: Nine. First, the forecasts got mostly sunny day ants thirty
Speaker 2: nine for the high, down to thirty three overnight with
Speaker 2: rain moving in and maybe a wintery mix of times. Tomorrow,
Speaker 2: rain moves out a back noontime they say, be cloudy
Speaker 2: after that. Forty two for the high, overnight low at
Speaker 2: twenty one, clouds and early clouds Saturday clearing out later
Speaker 2: in the day. We'll see how I have twenty five
Speaker 2: degrees and some additional cold air showing up a few
Speaker 2: days after that, twenty six degrees. Right now for give
Speaker 2: out PARCD talk station. It is five thirty here at
Speaker 2: fifty five kr CD talk station five one, three, seven
Speaker 2: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three
Speaker 2: talk found five fifty on an AT and T phone
Speaker 2: at d D yes Mike Wilburt, my submarine friend cribbage. Mike.
Speaker 2: He says, So, if you're a gay African American woman
Speaker 2: who is a veteran at the FBI, that's a lot
Speaker 2: of meetings you would be attending. Yes, I'm trying to
Speaker 2: find this bad guy. No, no, no, we have a
Speaker 2: mandatory meeting. You fit one of the one of the
Speaker 2: the checkpoints, so you must be there. Anyhow, three people
Speaker 2: shot Colrane Township and two have died. According to the
Speaker 2: spokesperson for the township, there are two There were two
Speaker 2: active scenes. Police are investigating outside the Walgreens and Popeyes,
Speaker 2: which are on either sides of Coleraine Avenue. Third shooting victim,
Speaker 2: the one that didn't die, taking a UC medical center
Speaker 2: in critical condition. Spokesperson said the two people died were
Speaker 2: near the Popeyes, while the person taken to the hospital
Speaker 2: was the one at the Walgreens across the street. Police
Speaker 2: flock some of the parking lots and businesses near Coleraine
Speaker 2: Avenue in Springdale Road during the initial investigation. Scene since
Speaker 2: been cleared. Coring Police said although officers are no longer
Speaker 2: investigating the scenes, the Popeyes, Duncan Donuts, and Shell gas
Speaker 2: station locations will remain closed for the rest Well remained
Speaker 2: closed for yesterday afternoon, so the rest of the evening,
Speaker 2: so I guess they were shut down all day yesterday.
Speaker 2: Please haven't provided any information on a possible suspect of
Speaker 2: the township. Spokesperson said. Investigators believe the shooting was targeted.
Speaker 2: Is that near you, Joe, Yes, jeez. Have you noticed
Speaker 2: a deterioration in the neighborhood over the last decade or so?
Speaker 2: A little bit?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: Well, Donald Trump was expected to They always say mass deportation,
Speaker 2: and I'm I don't like that mass deportation because this
Speaker 2: is not feasible selective deportation. I will embrace and they're
Speaker 2: going to start with the criminal element. We all know
Speaker 2: that has been widely circulated and talked about. It's one
Speaker 2: of the things that won Trump the presidency. How's a
Speaker 2: pervall gonna treat that? Sharon Kolech from The enquire reporting
Speaker 2: he is an Asian, noted by Sharon like if this
Speaker 2: is important, speaking of checking the boxes, first Asian American
Speaker 2: mayor of Cincinnati, also first person of a person of
Speaker 2: Tibetan heritage to be elected to a prominent political office
Speaker 2: in the United States. Parents came to America nineteen eighty
Speaker 2: from New Delhi, India. So he's legal immigrant, but he
Speaker 2: understands immigration.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: It's like so many of our other friends, Orlando Sonza,
Speaker 2: for example. And since no one is quite certain what
Speaker 2: Trump's immigration policy is gonna look like when it unfolds,
Speaker 2: perval pledged the city of Cincinnati will follow Trump's administrative
Speaker 2: directors no matter what they are quote from have to parvoll.
Speaker 2: If the President of the United States, backed by the
Speaker 2: Senate and House arrest representatives, wants to do something as
Speaker 2: it relates to immigration, then they're going to do it.
Speaker 2: And there's no mayor in the country, particularly a mayor
Speaker 2: of a blue city in a row that state that's
Speaker 2: going to be able to do anything about it. Close. Quote, well,
Speaker 2: I think it's kind of refreshing. At least acknowledges his
Speaker 2: hands are tied legally, that these can't do anything about
Speaker 2: immigration policy. The cooperation should be as close as it
Speaker 2: was with the Biden administration. He said, Look, I'm a Democrat.
Speaker 2: I disagree with a lot of what President Trump's administration
Speaker 2: has said, but that they will I said that they
Speaker 2: will prioritize and how they will govern. But it isn't
Speaker 2: about me as a person. This is about me as
Speaker 2: a mayor and how to strike relationships and partnerships with everybody.
Speaker 2: Just skeptical and partnerships with everybody in order to put
Speaker 2: the city in the best possible position moving forward. And
Speaker 2: that includes not picking political fights that we know we're
Speaker 2: going to lose. What's more important to me is to
Speaker 2: have strong, productive relationship with the Trump administration whatever. Well,
Speaker 2: it sounds like Aftab got the memo. One of the
Speaker 2: reasons Trump won was because of his tough stance on
Speaker 2: immigration bah and he knows the voters of this within
Speaker 2: the city of Cincinnati, those over whom he lords also
Speaker 2: feel that way. He said. As mayor, I was sworn
Speaker 2: into the Constitution and the Charter, and it's my job
Speaker 2: to also uphold the law and to effectuate laws that
Speaker 2: have been passed. So it's a tough position for sure.
Speaker 2: I know mayors don't pass laws job, but they do
Speaker 2: have to follow them. Hey, at least he's paying lip
Speaker 2: service to the notion that he's not going to try
Speaker 2: to buck the system. There are other mayors in other
Speaker 2: cities who have said, hell, no, over my dead body,
Speaker 2: we're not going to help Trump do anything. We're not
Speaker 2: going to lift the finger, and in fact engage in
Speaker 2: measures to prevent the Trump administration from carrying out its
Speaker 2: objectives with regard to deportation California, notably five point thirty
Speaker 2: five right now, if you have Kseu Steckstu coming up,
Speaker 2: and it is Friday, so you know what that means.
Speaker 2: I'll be right back fifty five the talk station. The
Speaker 2: new year means new health goals, not just for your body,
Speaker 2: but well it is five forty on a Friday, so yeah,
Speaker 2: of course, five one, three, eight hundred and eighty two
Speaker 2: to three. Takos Town five fifty. If you have an
Speaker 2: AT and T phone, love to talk to you. If
Speaker 2: you got something to talk about meanwhile, Wow, Friday stacking
Speaker 2: stupid naked people, you can always count on that, Thank you,
Speaker 2: Joe Strecker. We have a woman arrested for after doing
Speaker 2: a nude photo shoot on a popular seaside sculpture in Mexico,
Speaker 2: Olga Lorera. There's videos video of this. Of course, there
Speaker 2: is seen video footage stepping on the base of the
Speaker 2: La Perila sculpture in the city of La Pause Saturday
Speaker 2: and then taking off her clothes as a photographer started
Speaker 2: taking pictures. The thirty year old then hurled her dress
Speaker 2: at the photographer and climbed on top of the monument,
Speaker 2: which is described as resembling a pearl sitting in an
Speaker 2: open clam. I can't believe you didn't use phrasing on
Speaker 2: that one. She posed in the sculptures. Traffic along the
Speaker 2: two lane avenue next to the boardwalk slowed and bystanders
Speaker 2: stared on the scene in shock. Then signaled to the
Speaker 2: photographer to hand her the dress and climb down. She
Speaker 2: was approached by a police and she was placed under
Speaker 2: arrest taking a local prosecutor's office, released after paying a
Speaker 2: fine of three and sixty five pesos, which apparently the
Speaker 2: current exchange rate translates to one and sixty three dollars.
Speaker 2: She then posted the photoshoot pictures on Facebook before then
Speaker 2: deleting them the nudest model Critical authorities, Why is the
Speaker 2: human body censored but not violence? Okay, you go ahead
Speaker 2: and run with that one. Critical authorities for not for
Speaker 2: not granting her the right to express herself. Guess who
Speaker 2: is arrested for simply existing? She wrote, why is the
Speaker 2: human body's censor but not violence? Nudity is not offensive,
Speaker 2: It's natural. Let's stop the shaming, reclaim our freedom and
Speaker 2: normalize what is human.
Speaker 4: I don't make the rules, ma'am. I just think them
Speaker 4: up and write them down.
Speaker 2: Yes, society's rules. Mobile, Alabama Police responded to a call
Speaker 2: where and we're confronted by a nude guy who became
Speaker 2: combative with officers, according to release for the Mobile Police Department.
Speaker 2: As tradition, twelve thirty in the morning, five thousand block
Speaker 2: of Druid to Drive, the police said, officers responding to
Speaker 2: a domestic dispute, we're confronted by a man wearing nothing.
Speaker 2: After determining that the man, identified as sixty year old
Speaker 2: Patrick Petaway was the aggressor in the incident, they tried
Speaker 2: to detain him, but he resisted and tussled with them,
Speaker 2: according to police, ultimately arrested on charge of a third
Speaker 2: degree domestic violence, resisting arrest, and failure to obey law enforcement.
Speaker 2: Nothing about as a tradition charges relating to his public nunity.
Speaker 2: How hard is it? Michigan, Berlin Township. Jeremy Johndre watching
Speaker 2: Monday night football at his home when all of a
Speaker 2: sudden he had an unwanted and completely naked visitor. What
Speaker 2: speak good news? Crazy weird, like never in a million years,
Speaker 2: what I think that would happen to my little dead
Speaker 2: end street here. I was enjoying the football game and
Speaker 2: I heard I heard the back door open in the
Speaker 2: dog bark, and a naked man came around the corner
Speaker 2: and sat in the chair. He called for his wife
Speaker 2: to call dial nine one one, but they'd already been called.
Speaker 2: Please said the man took off, But apparently this is
Speaker 2: the backstory. Please said. The man took off his clothes
Speaker 2: at the nearby Mier distribution center, then crossed Swan Creek Road,
Speaker 2: ran through a field barefoot into Jendre's backyard. Why are
Speaker 2: you doing that? Jondra said, in fact, we have to
Speaker 2: mop up all of our floors because there was blood
Speaker 2: from his feet bleeding on our floors. When we got done,
Speaker 2: do what the hell? An answer to my own question there, Joe,
Speaker 2: thank you for the sound bite. He said. The suspect
Speaker 2: was relatively calm and did give a reason why he
Speaker 2: went inside the home. Quote he was looking for the
Speaker 2: twelve women of color he was promised close quotes.
Speaker 4: That's this tradition.
Speaker 2: Local Fox News. What does that mean, Jondre, I have
Speaker 2: no idea. Sheriffs arrived and after a little struggle, arrest
Speaker 2: of the naked guy, thirty thirty four year old man
Speaker 2: from New York. Jondre said they got him finally locked
Speaker 2: up with cuffs and put him in a car. Luckily
Speaker 2: no injuries. Naked guy remains in jail, penning an arraignment
Speaker 2: on multiple charts, including a home invasion and here you
Speaker 2: go indecent exposure. Jondras said, you want to feel bad,
Speaker 2: but at the same time, it's hard to phrasing. That
Speaker 2: was a stretch five forty five fifty five K see
Speaker 2: talk station. You got a few more stupid stories to
Speaker 2: dive into. Alternatively, you can call regardless. I'll be back
Speaker 2: in a minute.

Speaker 2: Think again by forty nine on a Friday, A happy
Speaker 2: one to you Tech Part of the day hat or
Speaker 2: at six thirty every Friday at six thirty, looking forward
Speaker 2: to that. Oh and the doctor who wrote the book
Speaker 2: about fighting against the COVID vaccine heat. Where was it California,
Speaker 2: Joe or Central Time? Oh? He was under the mistaken
Speaker 2: impression that we here instance, I were on Central Time.
Speaker 2: That's why he wasn't around to have the conversation when
Speaker 2: Joe tried to reach him, so and he went, maybe
Speaker 2: we'll endeavor to get him back on the program. I
Speaker 2: was really interested in talking with him about that book.
Speaker 2: Return of the Stack of Stuke Stupid. What is described
Speaker 2: as a shocking incident. You draw your own conclusions on
Speaker 2: that subjective conclusion. A homeless man shot himself in the head. Rather,
Speaker 2: it says hopeless man shot himself in the hat after
Speaker 2: he was caught naked from the waist down in his
Speaker 2: car as he approached the coffee shop in Arizona.
Speaker 4: Do what the hell.
Speaker 2: Man identified as nauted him alone, apparently leading up to
Speaker 2: the death began last Wednesday, when he arrived half naked
Speaker 2: in the drive through with the Bikini Beans coffee shop.
Speaker 2: Court to police. Man approached the staff, who noticed that
Speaker 2: he had his pants pulled down while taking his order
Speaker 2: to the employee, reported the tour manager, and the man
Speaker 2: pulled a at the drive through window, still naked. Manager
Speaker 2: allegedly had already taken out her phone and recorded the man,
Speaker 2: who was in fact pleasuring himself in the car. That
Speaker 2: video then posted on social media, gaining a lot of
Speaker 2: views when it went viral. Many in the Internet commented
Speaker 2: on the inappropriate behavior of touching him himself in front
Speaker 2: of the manager. According to the Maricopa County Medical Examiner,
Speaker 2: Malone drove himself to the city of Goodyear, Arizona, and
Speaker 2: then committed suicide, shooting himself in the head on January eleventh.
Speaker 4: Dear what the hell.
Speaker 2: Staff said. On the night of Malone's death, his family
Speaker 2: members reached out to the coffee shop more aggressive. Malone
Speaker 2: had killed himself over the incident, as told by the police.
Speaker 2: Ben Lyles, owner of the Bikini Beans coffee told TMZ,
Speaker 2: who was reporting on this, our thoughts and prayers with
Speaker 2: the family of the individuals involved during this difficult time.
Speaker 2: This was an unfortunate and tragic situation. As a company,
Speaker 2: the safety of our employees is our top priority. In
Speaker 2: this case that we became chose to commit a crime
Speaker 2: at one of our locations. We take incidents like this
Speaker 2: very seriously and remain committed to protecting our team and
Speaker 2: maintaining a safe and respectful environment. I guess she was
Speaker 2: that embarrassed. Don't do that and the staka don't do that. Philadelphia,
Speaker 2: where a New Jersey fifth grade teachers accused of sexually
Speaker 2: assaulting a student over a four year span. In investigators
Speaker 2: alleged she had the boy's child do what the hell?
Speaker 2: Thirty four year old Laura Corone of Cape May Courthouse,
Speaker 2: New Jersey, charged with aggravated sexual assault, sexual assaultant, engaging
Speaker 2: in the well, and endangering the welfare of a child.
Speaker 2: She was the fifth grade teacher of Middle Township Elementary
Speaker 2: School accused of engaging in sexual relationship with one of
Speaker 2: her students, again fifth grade teacher. Investigators said the sexual
Speaker 2: abuse began in twenty sixteen, when the student was around
Speaker 2: eleven years old. Student was living at Crone's home with
Speaker 2: his siblings at the time, and at times would wake
Speaker 2: up in her bed. She continued to sexually assault the
Speaker 2: student until twenty twenty, when the victim was fourteen or fifteen.
Speaker 2: Investigators into the sexual abuse began in December after the
Speaker 2: alleged victim's father posted on Facebook that Corone's five year
Speaker 2: old child looked similar to him and his son. In
Speaker 2: a text message called the victim admitted to family members
Speaker 2: that he is the child's father. Criminal complaint said I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: I thought this was a female Laura Corone anyway. January fifth,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, Kate May County Prosecutor's Office, Mobile Township
Speaker 2: Police and the Special Victims Unit took Coron into custody
Speaker 2: without incident. They again, it is a woman, executed a
Speaker 2: search horn on her home. I guess they had a
Speaker 2: wrong pronoun there, at least it didn't say gee. Middle
Speaker 2: Township School District notified the investigation and currently cooperating with
Speaker 2: law enforcement.
Speaker 1: JEU.
Speaker 6: The biggest douche of the universe, in all the galaxies,
Speaker 6: there's no bigger douche than you.
Speaker 2: Well, you've reached the top, the pinnacle.
Speaker 6: Of douche dom. Good going due.
Speaker 2: Your dreams have come true, sharing the award. Forty year
Speaker 2: old Elizabeth Dunlap Dubuke. Hempstead High School employee Elizabeth Dunlap
Speaker 2: facing multiple charges after investigators said she sent nude photos
Speaker 2: to a student and sexually exploited the student. Charged with
Speaker 2: purchase possession, depiction of a miner, and a sexual act,
Speaker 2: sexual exploitation by a school employee in telephone dissemination of
Speaker 2: obscene material to a minor. Complaints said that the Buke
Speaker 2: Sheriff's Office started investigating Dunlap for sexual exploitation by a
Speaker 2: school employee November of twenty four after Hempstead High School
Speaker 2: students reported she was involved in a sexual relationship with
Speaker 2: his student. That's gonna said, done Lap and the student
Speaker 2: communicated between the September of twenty twenty four November of
Speaker 2: twenty four. During that time, she sent multiple nude photos
Speaker 2: to the student using Snapchat, and the student sent nude
Speaker 2: photos back to Dunlap. That's going to say. Dunlop would
Speaker 2: pick up the student from his home, drive to another
Speaker 2: location where they would hang out in the back of
Speaker 2: her mini van. Student admitted to investigators he had sex
Speaker 2: with Dunlap on November fourteenth. Wow, and let me assure you,
Speaker 2: unlike so many of these these teachers that get caught
Speaker 2: engage in these twisted and perverted actions, you look at
Speaker 2: them and you're like, what is a really pretty young lady?
Speaker 2: Not the case with miss Dunlap, and I know subjectivities. Yeah,
Speaker 2: uh huh, that would have been easy and easy decision.
Speaker 2: Don't go away. Coming up off top of the our
Speaker 2: news gut lot's talk about. But it is Tech Friday,
Speaker 2: So at six point thirty, Dave had a return to
Speaker 2: the program to give us some sound advice.
Speaker 7: So stick around counting down Hello as we welcome back
Speaker 7: President Trump.
Speaker 8: For the next four years are just gonna be incredible.
Speaker 7: Fifty five kr met they talk station and hope you
Speaker 7: have a great weekend.
Speaker 2: Looking forward to bottom of hours I always do every Friday,
Speaker 2: six thirty Tech Friday with Dave Hanner. Apple had to
Speaker 2: pay a settlement over Siri eavesdropping on you. Brad Pitt
Speaker 2: accused of scamming a woman out of money. No, it
Speaker 2: wasn't Brad Pitt. Artificial intelligence Brad Pitt. I guess I
Speaker 2: read the facts of that one, and we're going to
Speaker 2: talk about it in detail with Dave but if you've
Speaker 2: got an out of the blue text message from someone
Speaker 2: purporting to be Brad Pitt, or in this particular case,
Speaker 2: it started out with someone purporting to be Brad Pitt's mom,
Speaker 2: would you take it seriously? I would like to think
Speaker 2: the answer anybody in my listening audiences is absolutely no.
Speaker 2: Who would fall for that anyway? Plus, meet your new
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars artificial intelligence girlfriend
Speaker 2: robot girlfriend. I guess desperate times call for desperate measures.
Speaker 2: Jared now with the book Tiny Blunders, Big Disasters. This
Speaker 2: is book too. We've had Jared on the program before,
Speaker 2: just wild, true stories about little things that happened that
Speaker 2: cause you know, epic well changes in the world forever
Speaker 2: into the Roman Empire. The fall of Constantinople in fourteen
Speaker 2: fifty three came about because someone forgot to close and
Speaker 2: lock a major gate. You remember that one from the
Speaker 2: first one. I believe anyhow, he'll be on at seven
Speaker 2: forty to talk about that new book. They're fun and
Speaker 2: I do believe, and I always use this term, you know,
Speaker 2: in a positive light. You're like a bathroom book where
Speaker 2: you can just sort of pick it up and read
Speaker 2: one and then put it back down again. So that's
Speaker 2: the type of book it is. I believe Jaredill come
Speaker 2: on talk about seven forty doctor Charles Camarda with a
Speaker 2: book mission out of control. Doctor Charles Camarda is an astronaut,
Speaker 2: or was anyway, so he's uncovered. I guess the system
Speaker 2: to deal with well accidents, loss of a research culture
Speaker 2: that places a premium on learning and the quest for
Speaker 2: knowledge and what that means. So rather interesting. It's kind
Speaker 2: of a cryptic description of the book on Amazon as well,
Speaker 2: so we'll all find out together at eight oh five
Speaker 2: with doctor Charles Kamara. You can feel free to call
Speaker 2: five one, three, seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight
Speaker 2: hundred eighty two to three taco with pound five fifty
Speaker 2: on AT and T funds. And why wasn't this done sooner?
Speaker 2: Since it is Tech Friday. Joe Biden just got done
Speaker 2: signing an executive or to strengthen the United States cybersecurity capabilities.
Speaker 2: This after a long series of reported incidents of the
Speaker 2: Chinese Communist Party and other foreign actors hacking into our system.
Speaker 2: So why wouldn't this done earlier? The January sixteenth ordered, Wow,
Speaker 2: just a moment in time ago at the very end
Speaker 2: of his presidency, now mandates new security requirements for software
Speaker 2: used by government entities and contractors, establishes a national certification
Speaker 2: program for secure technology, and lowers the threshold required for
Speaker 2: imposing tariffs on malicious cyber actors. Oh tariffs, huh, I
Speaker 2: thought the Democrats didn't like those. White House fact sheet
Speaker 2: that was shared said the order will serve to counter
Speaker 2: malicious countries and criminals while also propelling the United States
Speaker 2: to adopt the type of security first practices that are
Speaker 2: already required by many other nations. Behind the eight ball
Speaker 2: on security, folks, the United States stands alone among other
Speaker 2: major economies and lacking secure privacy preserving digital identity infrastructure,
Speaker 2: leaving Americans exposed to a wave of cybercrime. That's the
Speaker 2: court to the fact sheet. They have new requirements for
Speaker 2: software providers who work with government in this well executive order.
Speaker 2: Executive Order identifies minimum industry cybersecurity standards and practices required
Speaker 2: for all companies doing business with the federal government and
Speaker 2: requires the government software vendors to provide evidence that their
Speaker 2: products were developed using secure practices. Yeah, Dave talks about
Speaker 2: all the time. You know, most software was developed with
Speaker 2: the idea of fulfilling some sort of task or purpose.
Speaker 2: Security last thing on the list when the software is
Speaker 2: being developed, so maybe this will help prioritize security and
Speaker 2: put it at the forefront. Also orders the Cybersecurity Infrastructure
Speaker 2: Security Agency SISA to receive analyzed track and that evidence
Speaker 2: to ensure that companies are actually using the secure development practices.
Speaker 2: So there's the government trying to keep an eye on
Speaker 2: and see that people are following the edicts and mandates
Speaker 2: from government. That doesn't happen very often. It sounds so
Speaker 2: much fraud, waste, and abuse in government. There's no SISA
Speaker 2: version of oversight and accounting to make sure that fraudulent
Speaker 2: claims aren't processed and money isn't going to evil actors
Speaker 2: like PPP loans anyway. So hopefully that will bear fruit
Speaker 2: and provide us with greater security. I mean, at least
Speaker 2: I have no opposition to the idea that we're cracking
Speaker 2: down on and insisting on greater security protocols given everything
Speaker 2: we know about well again going back to the Chinese
Speaker 2: Communist Party, and here's the ultimate I guess downside of
Speaker 2: all things tech and US not teaching our children common
Speaker 2: sense skills. New data shows that many Gen Z generation
Speaker 2: kids folks generally speaking, struggle with basic do it yourself tasks.
Speaker 2: According to report from the New York Post, a lot
Speaker 2: of them don't even know how to change a light bulb. Joe,
Speaker 2: did you have to tell your children? Explain to your
Speaker 2: children how to how to change a light bulb?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 2: Did this like comes naturally? It screws in, screws out.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you've been alive more than five minutes,
Speaker 2: you've probably seen someone do that. Any tubervill of Halford's,
Speaker 2: which is UK based monitoring and cycling retailers, said the
Speaker 2: ability to do basic practical task is being lost among
Speaker 2: younger generations. They said, we haven't really had to do
Speaker 2: things for themselves. That from a psychologist at New York University.
Speaker 2: She said, so much of their and all of our
Speaker 2: lives are automated. Convenient outsource, which is today's generation of
Speaker 2: young people have been identified from way more than past generation.
Speaker 2: So it makes complete sense that Gen Z simply doesn't
Speaker 2: know how to do as much with regard to non
Speaker 2: tech or independent tasks. Court of the report, they surveyed
Speaker 2: two thousand adults determine that nearly twenty five percent of
Speaker 2: gen Zers don't know how to change a ceiling light bulb. Why.
Speaker 2: They cited safety concerns like hot bulbs or latter risks.
Speaker 2: Man up of sexist would say, instead of attempting the task,
Speaker 2: many prefer the phrase got geotes or in other words,
Speaker 2: get others to do it. No, that is Dad changed
Speaker 2: the light bulb exactly, Joe, That's exactly what it is.
Speaker 2: Harpin's analysis found that gen Z spends over fifteen hundred
Speaker 2: dollars annually hiring professionals for basic household tasks, compared to
Speaker 2: four hundred and seventy dollars for gen X and three
Speaker 2: hundred for baby boomers. And it is noted in the
Speaker 2: article Joe that many gen Zers rely on their parents
Speaker 2: for chores like car cleaning, with less than half knowing
Speaker 2: how to whole ad to add air to a tire
Speaker 2: or replace a windshield wiper blade. Well, it comes with
Speaker 2: blanket instructions. Man Joe agrees with that. He says, that
Speaker 2: is true, but car cleaning, dude, would you go and
Speaker 2: clean my car for me?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 2: My dad? Like, I got two words for you? An
Speaker 2: ain't happy birthday? No. The Post wrote that nearly thirty
Speaker 2: percent of gen zers can't identify a flathead screwdriver, twenty
Speaker 2: one percent don't recognize a wrench, and that one intent
Speaker 2: would call a professional for the purposes of hanging a picture.
Speaker 2: Let's see what Steve's got this morning, Steve, welcome to
Speaker 2: the Morning Show. Happy Friday to you.
Speaker 10: That that's nice and refreshing, and that mad me feel
Speaker 10: good about our future. Uh, and we're all going to
Speaker 10: be dependent on them to keep the Social Security system
Speaker 10: propped up. That's great.
Speaker 2: I hope that is not the perception of my listening audience,
Speaker 2: because I.
Speaker 10: Well, yeh know, well I'm sixty two, so I'm a
Speaker 10: little older than you, and that's going to segue into
Speaker 10: my Jimmy Carter in a second. But just what you
Speaker 10: just said, I mean, he used to bug me to
Speaker 10: no end. My neighbor did construction work and he would
Speaker 10: moonlight on the weekends. Remember that term moonlighting where people
Speaker 10: actually worked six seven days a week. And he had
Speaker 10: teenage and then early twenty something boys and the garbage.
Speaker 10: This just bothered me for some reason. The garbage would
Speaker 10: get picked up and it was at the street and
Speaker 10: it's an empty garbage can. The entire family would walk
Speaker 10: by it, and this guy would come home seven o'clock
Speaker 10: in the evening and drag the garbage can to the house.
Speaker 10: And it bothered me to no end. And I don't
Speaker 10: know how it didn't bother him. But they kind of
Speaker 10: grow up not having to do anything, I guess. And
Speaker 10: he would mow the grass himself, and I'm like, where
Speaker 10: are your kids, Why aren't they mowing? I was bone
Speaker 10: grass at twelve years old. Yeah, I can or whatever
Speaker 10: with a push moower. It's no big deal, but I
Speaker 10: mean whatever. So I was going to talk about a
Speaker 10: couple of things, but I know we're going to be
Speaker 10: short on time. And I know he died a few
Speaker 10: weeks ago, and he's probably a real nice guy. And
Speaker 10: you know, I'm sure if I met Jimmy Carter, I
Speaker 10: would have enjoyed talking to him. He had no business
Speaker 10: being president. I was. I was born in Miami, Florida,
Speaker 10: in nineteen sixty two and graduated high school in nineteen eighty.
Speaker 10: My memory, my biggest memory of Jimmy Carter the Maryelle
Speaker 10: boat lift, which dumped one hundred thousand Cuban immigrants, most
Speaker 10: of them emptied out of prisons and mental institutions on Miami, Florida.
Speaker 10: And we lived with that for years, and we had
Speaker 10: people living under the bridges downtown. I was in the
Speaker 10: southwest part of Miami. I was in the suburbs. But
Speaker 10: it was the crime exploded. The TV show Miami Wece
Speaker 10: came out of that and everything because of all the crime,
Speaker 10: and it was a lot of different things. He was
Speaker 10: hopelessly naive. In other words, he did what a nice
Speaker 10: guy would do. Yeah, we'll welcome them all. But he
Speaker 10: didn't have the vision to say, wait a minute, what
Speaker 10: what might this dictator do bring about?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Yeah, and no, no, no insight into that. So nice
Speaker 10: guy probably never You know, you're a nice guy. I
Speaker 10: don't think you should be president. I mean, yeah, I agree,
Speaker 10: I mean I'm a reasonably nice guy. I shouldn't be president.
Speaker 10: But again, you know, it happened. But that's my memory
Speaker 10: of him really dumping a lot of criminal element on
Speaker 10: the streets. Something the federal government did to one city
Speaker 10: that really for for a half dozen years or so.
Speaker 10: There were repercussions from that. There were to your weekend.
Speaker 10: I know you you might want to wake up at
Speaker 10: two thirty tomorrow tomorrow morning, just to pretend it's Monday.
Speaker 2: Thanks man, you have a great weekend yourself. By fifty

Speaker 2: Happy it's Friday, David, Yeah, because we have talked with
Speaker 2: David Hatter. Dave Hatter coming up next. And on the
Speaker 2: heels of the article, did the study that gen xers
Speaker 2: don't know how to unscrewed light bulbs or change light bulbs?
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe is there a lazy component about that?
Speaker 2: Because I saw this article Progressive Capitol Hill staffers. There
Speaker 2: is something called the Congressional Progressive Staff Association. They have
Speaker 2: proposed establishing a rotating thirty two hour work week for
Speaker 2: folks working in Washington, d C. Saying reduced hours could
Speaker 2: improve workers' satisfaction, increase staff retention in Congress, and model
Speaker 2: a more sustainable approach to work on a national level.
Speaker 2: See it starts here with federal offices, and then it'll
Speaker 2: spread out to the general public. And that's kind of
Speaker 2: what they suggested in their statement. Group said in the letter,
Speaker 2: we do not want a thirty two hour work week
Speaker 2: just to be another special benefit for congressional staff. Oh no,
Speaker 2: we hope that by adopting this policy, members of Congress
Speaker 2: can help to advance the discussion around a more sustainable
Speaker 2: work week. What in the hell does that mean? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Thank you, Joe more sustainable work week as a national
Speaker 2: priority and a model for how it can work for
Speaker 2: private and public employers across the country in the world.
Speaker 2: So they start with the federal employees and then it'll
Speaker 2: spin out to your business, and you might be saying great.
Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders is behind this. He had legislation implementing a
Speaker 2: thirty two hour work week previously. However, even some Democrats
Speaker 2: realize this is a stupid idea, given the Trump's getting
Speaker 2: ready to be inaugurated. Tim hugg and Democratic Communications consulting
Speaker 2: former Hill staffer quote ll read the room, guys, Democrat
Speaker 2: Richie Torres, why not be bold and asked for a
Speaker 2: zero hour work week? I wonder how blue collar Americans
Speaker 2: would feel about white collar workers demanding a thirty two
Speaker 2: hour work week. Good. At least Democrats themselves are analyzing
Speaker 2: this for what it is. Others suggested, like a representative
Speaker 2: Chip Roy, progressive shit opt in easy Place to cut
Speaker 2: twenty percent so they can scale back their salaries to
Speaker 2: match the reduced hours. Six twenty six fifty five KRC.

Speaker 2: And I'm shocked that Apple has to pay a settlement.
Speaker 2: That's because Siri was eavesdropping. The non shocking part, of course,
Speaker 2: is that Siri was eavesdriving. Of course it was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Brian.
Speaker 13: It's funny because if you think about it, any so
Speaker 13: called smart device that you can talk to has to
Speaker 13: be listening to you in order to know when.
Speaker 1: You ask it to do something right.
Speaker 9: I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 13: So now the problem that is that when you look
Speaker 13: at these smart devices in theory, they all have some
Speaker 13: kind of you know, wake word, wake phrase, hot word,
Speaker 13: whatever they call it on that particular platform. And in
Speaker 13: theory like with Apple and I won't say it out
Speaker 13: loud because we'll kick off, you know, thousands of devices
Speaker 13: across Cincinnati. But when you when you ask for Siri
Speaker 13: to do something right, then in theory, it starts listening
Speaker 13: to you and responds to your requests.
Speaker 2: Well, the word Siri alone is going to cause it
Speaker 2: to start listening to you.
Speaker 13: You would think, you would think, Because here's the thing, Brian,
Speaker 13: you have to think about this from the standpoint of
Speaker 13: the people building this stuff. If something is listening to
Speaker 13: you and waiting for you to ask it to do something,
Speaker 13: the more narrow you make the window that it will act,
Speaker 13: the more frustrating. It's going to be for people to
Speaker 13: use right then, you know, the way you say Siri,
Speaker 13: the way I say Siri, the way someone else says
Speaker 13: Siri not going to be exactly the same. So, in general,
Speaker 13: if you want your device to be used, you're going
Speaker 13: to have to make the window that it will activate
Speaker 13: on as wide as possible. Otherwise people are going to
Speaker 13: get frustrated and they're not going to use the thing.
Speaker 13: And there was a study done it's probably been maybe
Speaker 13: three years now, where someone took a whole bunch of different.
Speaker 1: Devices that could.
Speaker 13: Listen to you and activate things like Google Home and
Speaker 13: Alexa and Siri and other things, and put it in
Speaker 13: a room, turned on a TV, and then they watched
Speaker 13: how often did they activate? And it's pretty shocking to
Speaker 13: anyone that cares about their privacy in my opinion, when
Speaker 13: you look at the results of this, because it was
Speaker 13: a lot more typical than I think most people would imagine.
Speaker 13: Because again my argument is, you have to have the
Speaker 13: thing be very loose in its requirements. Otherwise people are
Speaker 13: going to get frustrated if you have to ask your
Speaker 13: device to activate eight or nine times every time, because
Speaker 13: you're not saying something exactly the way it wants it.
Speaker 1: How many times you're going to use that thing.
Speaker 13: So when you look at this, the thing that I
Speaker 13: think is more frustrating, and I'm sure I've said it
Speaker 13: on your show many times over the last ten years.
Speaker 13: In general, Apple tends to be a more privacy friendly company.
Speaker 13: All of these companies are collecting your data in some
Speaker 13: form or fashion because your data is valuable. But generally speaking,
Speaker 13: up to this point, Apple has tended to be more
Speaker 13: privacy and security friendly because their business model is different.
Speaker 13: They're not monetizing your data as their primary business model.
Speaker 13: They're selling you hardware and software products. So this story,
Speaker 13: to me is a little disturbing when you dig down
Speaker 13: into it, and CNN did a real nice summary of it.
Speaker 13: Apple to pay ninety five million in cash to settle
Speaker 13: a proposed class action lawsuit. Of course, they claim no wrongdoing.
Speaker 13: The class period runs from September seventeenth to twenty fourteen
Speaker 13: to December thirty first, twenty twenty four That's a long
Speaker 13: time to have your phone listening to your conversation. And
Speaker 13: you know, the thing, I guess the most frustrating to
Speaker 13: me is if you were in the class, so you
Speaker 13: had this feature enabled, which I don't. I do not
Speaker 13: have Syrian enabled on my phone and have never had
Speaker 13: Syrian enabled on my phone, so I guess I won't
Speaker 13: get my twenty dollars. That's what your privacy is worth
Speaker 13: to Apple, twenty dollars. And then one reason the CNN
Speaker 13: article is great is because they point out ninety five
Speaker 13: million is about nine hours of profit for Apple. So
Speaker 13: the twenty dollars you're going to get if you're in
Speaker 13: this class. And I would encourage people who if you
Speaker 13: have an Apple phone and you've used Siri in that time,
Speaker 13: when I would, I would sign myself up and get
Speaker 13: my twenty dollars and remind yourself just how little these
Speaker 13: companies actually care about your privacy exactly.
Speaker 2: And don't forget the plane off lawyers who brought the
Speaker 2: class action are probably going to take forty percent of
Speaker 2: the ninety five million dollars.
Speaker 1: So anyway, that's not bad that's not a bad haul, right.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's one of the reasons why they settle for
Speaker 2: money that really doesn't mean anything to Apple in terms
Speaker 2: of compared to profit appreciated.
Speaker 13: Or to the or to the people get in the
Speaker 13: twenty dollars, right Like the lawyers get all the proceeds
Speaker 13: from this.
Speaker 2: I know, I know contingency fees Man. Anyway, coming to
Speaker 2: Brad Pitt accused of scamming a woman out of money, No,
Speaker 2: Brad Pitt is not texting you. Doctor Peck and Frew,
Speaker 2: those are who you need to speak to about dentistry.
Speaker 2: They are the dynamic duo of dentistry. I just doctor
Speaker 2: Fred peck Man is a genius credited Fellow with the
Speaker 2: American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. For cosmetic dentnistry, I cannot
Speaker 2: imagine anyone being in better hands. Brilliant, amazing cosmetics, stunning
Speaker 2: smile makeovers, life changing smile makeovers. So if you're one
Speaker 2: of those people who just is really not happy with
Speaker 2: a smile, you need to talk to doctor peck and
Speaker 2: doctor Fru. She's working on her way to accreditation. She
Speaker 2: is absolutely a wonderful lady. Not that doctor peck is bad,
Speaker 2: I mean just Megan Frew in terms of bedside manner,
Speaker 2: you know that kind of thing. If you're someone who
Speaker 2: doesn't like going to the dentist, you got to schedule
Speaker 2: a point with doctor Freu and they have the most
Speaker 2: state of the art clinic around. Doctor Fred Peck has
Speaker 2: always insisted on being on the cutting edge of medicine
Speaker 2: for the benefit of his patients. So you got the
Speaker 2: choice Doctor's pack and frew. It is a wonderful option
Speaker 2: for dentistry. I've been going to see doctor Peck for
Speaker 2: about a decade, maybe more. My whole family does so
Speaker 2: for exceptional dentistry generally speaking, and most notably in cosmetic dentistry.

Speaker 2: Uh Okay, you know, I just find it difficult to swallow, Dave,
Speaker 2: that anyone would take the bait on this particular and this,
Speaker 2: this this brad pit thing that I I'm just beside
Speaker 2: myself in disbelief. But go ahead, give my listeners the
Speaker 2: facts and they can draw their own conclusions. It's a
Speaker 2: sad story.
Speaker 13: It is a sad story. It's really pretty tragic and sadly.
Speaker 13: Brian I think you're only going to see more and
Speaker 13: more and more of these kind of stories because as
Speaker 13: the artificial intelligence technology that can generate the sort of
Speaker 13: deep fake audio and video that apparently was used in
Speaker 13: this scam gets better, it's only going to make it
Speaker 13: easier for people to do this sort of thing. So
Speaker 13: I agree with you wholeheartedly. This is a wild story,
Speaker 13: I guess. First off, I don't know how you would
Speaker 13: think that suddenly Brad Pitt's mom and then Brad Pitt
Speaker 13: is going to contact you over social media. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 13: you're You're just some person out there minding your own.
Speaker 2: Business in the world, and Brad Pitt and his mom
Speaker 2: picked you.
Speaker 1: Yes, you know.
Speaker 13: And that's the thing that's even crazier. It would be
Speaker 13: easier for me to understand if this started out with, Hey,
Speaker 13: you're on social media and quote unquote Brad Pitt reaches
Speaker 13: out to you, But I mean Brad Pitt's mom. Rad
Speaker 13: Pit's mom reaches out to you and then connects you
Speaker 13: to Brad Pitt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 13: It's quite hard for me to understand. But I think
Speaker 13: the more important point for people is because of social
Speaker 13: media and because of open source intelligence, which is a
Speaker 13: whole field and cybersecurity of people who do nothing but
Speaker 13: use all of the information that's available out there, things
Speaker 13: like LinkedIn, things like Facebook, things like websites, things like
Speaker 13: Google searches to collect information, usually for reasonable purposes. But
Speaker 13: you know this cuts both ways. You know, if you
Speaker 13: want to know who the mayor of Del High is,
Speaker 13: I guarantee you can find that either on LinkedIn or
Speaker 13: on their website. So my point is there are people
Speaker 13: out there who know how to use these tools, and
Speaker 13: they're available to anyone to learn information that can.
Speaker 1: Be useful in a scam.
Speaker 13: Right, Yeah, And the idea that someone is going to
Speaker 13: find you on social media, some very very famous star.
Speaker 13: And again the mother, that's the thing. So apparently this
Speaker 13: woman was contacted by Brad Pitt's mom. Supposedly someone named
Speaker 13: Jane at A Pitt who I'd never even heard of before,
Speaker 13: and she's this woman apparently has some money, she's on
Speaker 13: a ski trip. She gets contacted by Jane or Jane
Speaker 13: Edipitt and then the next thing you know, Rad Pitt
Speaker 13: is contacted right and starts chatting her up. And then
Speaker 13: the next thing you know, and you're looking deep into
Speaker 13: this bit and you'll see all these photos of Rad
Speaker 13: Pitt in the hospital. He needs money, I mean it's
Speaker 13: his account.
Speaker 2: His accounts were allegedly frozen because of the divorce with
Speaker 2: Angelina Joe Lee, and so that's what his pitch was
Speaker 2: to give her and get her to give him money.
Speaker 2: But you know, red flag, While he always avoided her calls,
Speaker 2: he sent artificial intelligence generated videos and images to convince
Speaker 2: her that he was in love with her. So no,
Speaker 2: he won't have a direct one on one conversation with her,
Speaker 2: even though he professes his undying love. I think we
Speaker 2: need to call red flag on that immediately right there.
Speaker 2: So if the person gets that far down the road
Speaker 2: with you and they're not willing to have a conversation
Speaker 2: with you, then you're not dealing with a real person.
Speaker 2: Come on.
Speaker 13: But even that, Brian, thanks to you know, voice cloning
Speaker 13: capabilities with these deep fake AI technologies, well there's that.
Speaker 13: It's it's entirely possible that you could clone Brad Pitt's
Speaker 13: voice and then have a conversation with someone. Now, I
Speaker 13: want to point out a real red flag for that
Speaker 13: is if you're talking to someone that you think you
Speaker 13: know or recognize their voice, anyway, and there's a weird pause.
Speaker 13: It could very well be like you know, you and
Speaker 13: I are talking, and if every time I answer you
Speaker 13: there's a two second delay or you know yet an
Speaker 13: unusual delay, it could very well be because someone is
Speaker 13: typing in what that person is going to say and
Speaker 13: then have it generated. So that's a real strong red
Speaker 13: flag which are somehow being scammed with a voice cloning
Speaker 13: attack because it takes a second for them to type
Speaker 13: in what they want to say, and it takes a
Speaker 13: second for the AI to generate that voice.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 13: It's so wild.
Speaker 2: Eight and fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, basically, this woman lost all our money.
Speaker 2: Un and believable.
Speaker 13: Well, it also shows you the point I keep trying
Speaker 13: to make to people all the time, Brian, because people think, well,
Speaker 13: I don't have anything we're stealing, My business is too small, whatever,
Speaker 13: This will never happen to me. These people are con
Speaker 13: artists and they want to steal your money, and they'll
Speaker 13: they'll go down whatever avenue they need to to get
Speaker 13: to it. They'll pivot on a dime, they'll tell you
Speaker 13: any lie, they'll use any technology they can to scam you.
Speaker 13: So you know, if you think this could never happen
Speaker 13: to me, or I don't have anything worth stealing, your
Speaker 13: money is worth stealing. And if you make it easy,
Speaker 13: if you don't understand that these things are real, if
Speaker 13: you're not skeptical and careful and doing the right sort
Speaker 13: of things as an end individual or for your organization,
Speaker 13: they will eventually get to your money. Because they are
Speaker 13: con artists, they're very smart.
Speaker 1: I mean, who would think of this? I would never
Speaker 1: think that someone would believe that. I'm Brad Pitt.
Speaker 2: I see that's the initial proposition that they went down
Speaker 2: this road thinking they would have success. I'm with you,
Speaker 2: Dave never would have started it out, even if I
Speaker 2: was a criminal mind. I tried to think of something
Speaker 2: more plausible. Anyway, let's we got to take a break.
Speaker 2: It's only one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars. We're
Speaker 2: going to learn about the well robot girlfriend coming up
Speaker 2: next Colin Electric. First, though, you need a charging station
Speaker 2: for your robot girlfriend. I imagine Collin Electric can install
Speaker 2: one of those for you too, regardless what type of
Speaker 2: electric project had. If you have a house and you
Speaker 2: have residential electric work to do, call my friend Andrew
Speaker 2: Collen and his amazing team of A licensed electricians who
Speaker 2: are great at customer service. They will respect your home,
Speaker 2: they will respect you. The price will be right, the
Speaker 2: work will be done to your satisfaction, whatever work you
Speaker 2: need to have done. Oh, look mentioned in the notes
Speaker 2: alexis controlled LED lighting and surround sound. They can put
Speaker 2: something like that in for you if you're so inclined.
Speaker 2: They do eluminum wiring upgrades of course, nob and tube
Speaker 2: wiring upgrades, can light installation outlets again, all things electrical
Speaker 2: for residents. You're in great hands with the A plus
Speaker 2: BBB Cullen Electric. You'll get a ten year wiring warranty

Speaker 2: T brings you tech Fright with Dave Hatter intrust i
Speaker 2: T dot com Dave Artificial robots are getting I guess,
Speaker 2: quote unquote better and better every year. Is this right up?
Speaker 2: About this one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars robot?
Speaker 2: It was veiled unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. One hundred and seventy five grand. Go ahead, Well,
Speaker 2: this is so ridiculous. It is ridiculous. The company is
Speaker 2: called Rerobotis and their CEO Andrew Kigwell, I guess that
Speaker 2: is how you say it. His company was hoping to
Speaker 2: make robots indistinguishable from humans, which could also tackle the
Speaker 2: male loneliness epidemic, and also, I guess serve to feed
Speaker 2: the childlessness epidemic. We've got nobody's getting in relationships and
Speaker 2: having children anymore. So is this just some sort of
Speaker 2: docile sex robot that just actually interacts with you?
Speaker 1: Better?
Speaker 2: It looks more like a human being, well.
Speaker 1: As I understand it from the reporting on it.
Speaker 13: And there's some video out there, and I encourage people
Speaker 13: to go take a look at the video. Melody is
Speaker 13: one of their models. Melody looks a lot more realistic
Speaker 13: than most of the stuff I've seen up this point.
Speaker 13: But I'm pretty sure from watching the videos you are
Speaker 13: not going to be confused that it's a real person,
Speaker 13: you know. I mean, it's it doesn't look like C
Speaker 13: three po, but it does not look like a real person.
Speaker 13: I mean maybe at a distance you might think there's
Speaker 13: a real person sitting, you know, over on a chair
Speaker 13: and across the room.
Speaker 2: Or something that does not look like a real person.
Speaker 13: But as you get closer to it, it just kind
Speaker 13: of looks like a mannequin you know, that happens to
Speaker 13: move around. It's fairly weird and creepy advice. Again, you know,
Speaker 13: they claim this is not designed to be a sex robot,
Speaker 13: because you know that's the thing too. We've talked about
Speaker 13: that before. That's been out there for a while. There
Speaker 13: are people working on that.
Speaker 3: You know, this was.
Speaker 13: Unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show, where you get this
Speaker 13: kind of stuff every year. There's all kinds of wild stuff,
Speaker 13: you know, a lot of its hype and hyperbole.
Speaker 1: So again, it's not that impressive to me.
Speaker 13: It's much better than you know, the things that I've
Speaker 13: seen out there before, but it just isn't that realistic.
Speaker 13: Looking at one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars. I mean,
Speaker 13: you know, unless you just have more money than you
Speaker 13: know what to do with and you think it would
Speaker 13: be a fun gag or something. I'm not really sure
Speaker 13: who would buy this now, they say. One of the
Speaker 13: key selling points to th rowbotsability engaging meaningful conversations and
Speaker 13: adapts to the owner's preferences over time. That makes it
Speaker 13: feel more personal and tailored.
Speaker 2: Well, and that's why it could never be a substitute
Speaker 2: for a human being. You know, one of the reasons
Speaker 2: you get involved relationships. And I would like to think
Speaker 2: that people share my viewpoint on this. You know, my
Speaker 2: wife is great. She doesn't give me too much of
Speaker 2: a hard time, but she we occasionally do have disagreements.
Speaker 2: You know, You're not always right. This seems like it
Speaker 2: would ultimately be something will be a substitute for a
Speaker 2: girlfriend that never argues with you. It enables whatever decision
Speaker 2: you want, because would you spend one hundred and seventy
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars on a piece of technology that never
Speaker 2: argues with you, or disagrees with you, or says something
Speaker 2: about your bad habits or whatever the case may be.
Speaker 13: Thank you, I guess Brian, if you're have you seen
Speaker 13: the movie Interstellar, Now I have it. Okay, there's there's
Speaker 13: a robot character in the movie and the characters it's
Speaker 13: it's key to the plot. But the robot like can
Speaker 13: be configured. It's like it has different settings, like honesty setting,
Speaker 13: sarcasm setting. You know, it's throughout the movie there's like
Speaker 13: this funny little play on tars turn your honesty setting
Speaker 13: down to eighty percent, that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: So, I don't know, maybe maybe you could do that
Speaker 1: with this thing.
Speaker 13: Maybe you know, you need a little you need a
Speaker 13: little spice in your life, so you have it give
Speaker 13: you some grief.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 13: The whole thing to me is just kind of ludicrous,
Speaker 13: especially at a price of one hundred and seventy five
Speaker 13: thousand dollars. And you know, they don't really talk about
Speaker 13: any of their boarding it. Again, there's some videos people
Speaker 13: can go see for themselves. The realism level this like,
Speaker 13: this thing I don't believe is designed to be able
Speaker 13: to do much except kind of talk to you.
Speaker 1: Right, It's not going to like run the sweeper.
Speaker 13: It's not gonna do any real work like some of
Speaker 13: the other robots that are you know, currently out there
Speaker 13: where you might have it as like a personal assistant.
Speaker 13: It could do something useful like the grass for you
Speaker 13: while you're at work. Yeah, I guess we'll see where
Speaker 13: this goes. But at one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars,
Speaker 13: especially for the current capabilities, it's just it's crazy to
Speaker 13: me so for these But to show you, though, Brian,
Speaker 13: the advancements that are being made in this technology, and
Speaker 13: I mean, will we get to a place where you
Speaker 13: will not be able to distinguish an android from an
Speaker 13: actual human being?
Speaker 1: Blade Runner maybe? Yeah, Terminator, that's.
Speaker 2: True too well for the sad, depressed loser who has
Speaker 2: too much money and has everything. One hundred and seventy
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars, get yours real, Bodis Dave Hatter, Thank
Speaker 2: you so much for the time you spent with my
Speaker 2: listeners of me every Friday. I look forward to next

Speaker 2: is Friday. Not that we have like open line Friday.
Speaker 2: It's usually opened nine Monday through Friday. But before our
Speaker 2: next guests are Jared Not with the book called Tiny Blunders,
Speaker 2: Big Disasters. This is the second edition of our second volume.
Speaker 2: He had another book book Tiny Blunder's Big Disaster. It's
Speaker 2: kind of funny and interesting stories from history about little
Speaker 2: things that resulted in wild tragedy or catastrophic results. So
Speaker 2: it should be a fun conversation with Jared coming up
Speaker 2: at seven forty. Fast forward one hour. Doctor Charles Kamarda
Speaker 2: his book Mission out of Control. Doctor Kimarta is an astronaut.
Speaker 2: Apparently he's figured out some ways of solving problems that
Speaker 2: nobody ever thought about before we get the details on that.
Speaker 2: I'm a little confused, honestly about the subject matter of
Speaker 2: the book, I'll admit that up the front. But having
Speaker 2: never spoken with Charles and learning just for the first
Speaker 2: time this morning that I was gonna be talking with him,
Speaker 2: we're gonna take dive into that challenge in one hour.
Speaker 2: Let us see here Monday, of course, Christopher Smith in
Speaker 2: a Monday. Monday. It is MLK Day on Monday. So
Speaker 2: remembering the doctor Martin Luther King Junior fifty five caresee
Speaker 2: dot comedy can't listen a line. I'd like to remind
Speaker 2: folks that the podcast page is right there. So if
Speaker 2: you didn't get a chance to hear my conversation with
Speaker 2: Jay Ratleff or Senator Ran Paul or Americans for Prosperity
Speaker 2: about saving the Trump tax cuts, why don't you try
Speaker 2: to do that good stuff there? And on tax cuts,
Speaker 2: all these hearings going on for Donald Trump's various positions.
Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary nominee Man that Donald Trump has tapped around.
Speaker 2: The Treasury Department issued warning the other day Scott Descent said,
Speaker 2: of Congress does not extend the tax cuts that are
Speaker 2: due to expire at the end of the year, the
Speaker 2: US economy be thrown into chaos. Quote if we do
Speaker 2: not renew extend, we'll be facing an economic calamity. And
Speaker 2: always with economic instability that falls on the middle and
Speaker 2: working class people, we will see a gigantic middle class
Speaker 2: tax increase. Jennet Yellen, for her part, obviously taking an
Speaker 2: opposite position, warning that extending the tax cuts would lead
Speaker 2: to this is a laughable statement, unsustainable deficits. I guess
Speaker 2: she hasn't gotten the memo that we're already there. It's
Speaker 2: a spending problem. Consequences of inaction and action are that
Speaker 2: exacerbates projected deficits could be dire. She said, Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: she should be full well aware of the CBO report
Speaker 2: that came out that said we'd be spending an additional
Speaker 2: two plus trillion every single year for the next decade
Speaker 2: under the current circumstances.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know if a second have any control over
Speaker 2: controlling spending, but therein lies the challenge for us collectively.
Speaker 2: We're all screwed based upon government's inability to quit just
Speaker 2: spending on literally every other project. Something I've talked about
Speaker 2: with Senator Ran Paul just the other day. So check
Speaker 2: out that podcast in other hearings, get a load of
Speaker 2: this one. I just kind of you know, when I
Speaker 2: read something like this, I kind of wonder do they
Speaker 2: even think about how they're going to appear and look
Speaker 2: and and and be received in the general public when
Speaker 2: they ask inane questions. Senator Mazie Herono of Hawaii mock
Speaker 2: getting mocked widely on social media her opening questions to
Speaker 2: Interior Secretary nominee Doug Bergham. Opening questions, Senator Rono, you
Speaker 2: have the floor. It's your time. Your turn. As part
Speaker 2: of my responsibility to ensure the fitness of nominees before
Speaker 2: any of the committees on which I said, I asked
Speaker 2: the following two initial questions. First is, since you became
Speaker 2: a legal adult. Well, it's a grammatically incorrect question, but anyway,
Speaker 2: First is I'll never mind. First is, since you became
Speaker 2: a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for
Speaker 2: sexual favors or committed any verbal or physical harassment or
Speaker 2: assault of a sexual nature. That's question number one for
Speaker 2: the proposed Interior Secretary. No, I have not simple response
Speaker 2: from Bergham. Follow up, have you ever faced discipline or
Speaker 2: entered into a settlement related to this kind of conduct?
Speaker 2: Entered into a settlement? I think that refers perhaps to
Speaker 2: some of the many settled out of court things like,
Speaker 2: for example, taxpayer dollars settlements of sexual harassment claims made
Speaker 2: against elected officials up there in Congress. Huh, how about that,
Speaker 2: Senator Herono, I guess you know all about that kind
Speaker 2: of stuff, And if it was in a settlement, maybe
Speaker 2: it was a confidential settlement agreement, And he said, no,
Speaker 2: I have not, So there's a definitive no. I am
Speaker 2: not involved in any of that. I haven't faced discipline,
Speaker 2: and I haven't settled anything related to the conduct. But
Speaker 2: if he had, and he was a confidentiality agreement in
Speaker 2: connected with it, he wouldn't be able to reveal the
Speaker 2: details of it. So that these people are in charge
Speaker 2: of our lives. I keep going back to that. Just crazy,
Speaker 2: crazy stuff. And Pam Bondi, president Elect Trump's pick to
Speaker 2: lead the Department of Justice, head it out with Senator
Speaker 2: Adam Schiff pencil next shift. You remember him, don't you.
Speaker 2: Schiff asked Bondi whether she would investigate the former special
Speaker 2: counsel Jack Smith and former Representative Liz Cheni. Now pause
Speaker 2: for a moment and consider why he might be curious
Speaker 2: to know about that, Why would he choose Jack Smith,
Speaker 2: List Cheney, or any other human being, because he is
Speaker 2: worried that he will be investigated for his well lies
Speaker 2: and deceit on the American people, the whole Russian collusion
Speaker 2: thing that we just took us through a couple of
Speaker 2: years of pain and well and then another investigation following that.
Speaker 2: That's shiff talk about someone who lied boldly to your
Speaker 2: face and mind on a regular basis. So I think
Speaker 2: he himself is worried, and so he's dancing around, And
Speaker 2: he didn't ask the question, are you planning on investigating
Speaker 2: me if you secure the position? He said, I'm asking you,
Speaker 2: sitting here today, whether you are aware of a factual
Speaker 2: predicate to investigate Liz Cheney. Senator no, one asked me
Speaker 2: to investigate Liz Cheney. That is a hypothetical, She calmly responded,
Speaker 2: and then she said, you know what we should be
Speaker 2: worried about. The crime rate in California's through the roof.
Speaker 2: Your robberies are eighty seven percent higher than the national averages.
Speaker 2: That's what I want to focus on. Senator Shift suggested
Speaker 2: that she does not have the independence to say no
Speaker 2: to the president, and he then asked her if she
Speaker 2: would tell Trumps if she would tell Trump he lost
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty election, I'll pastor. I want to think
Speaker 2: about how dumb that question is. Why would she interject
Speaker 2: that into the conversation. That's a done issue, it's over.
Speaker 2: We're in twenty twenty five now, Why would she have
Speaker 2: the obligation, the need, or even think it's within her,
Speaker 2: you know, business, if she's heading up the DOJ to
Speaker 2: tell that Trump that he lost the twenty twenty election.
Speaker 2: Trump may be walking around still convince that he won.
Speaker 2: He's entitled to that belief. There's been all kinds of
Speaker 2: stories sort of supporting some of the shenanigans and the
Speaker 2: irregularities that I may be loose with the term that
Speaker 2: we're involved in the twenty twenty election. I mean, some
Speaker 2: people firmly believe that Trump won. He's entitled to that.
Speaker 2: If you think he's delusional, that's okay. Joe Biden's delusional.
Speaker 2: He has been for the last four years, if not longer.
Speaker 2: But what job is it as head of the Department
Speaker 2: of Justice to just interject that and say, Donald, you
Speaker 2: know you lost twenty twenty. Her response, what I can
Speaker 2: tell you is I will never play politics you're trying
Speaker 2: to engage me in a gotcha schif asker if she
Speaker 2: would advise against blanket pardons by President elect Trump, saying
Speaker 2: to her, you'll be able to review hundreds of cases
Speaker 2: on day one. Of course you won't. Oh, that is
Speaker 2: an absolute true statement. But then again, does the head
Speaker 2: of the Department of Justice have any say in who
Speaker 2: the president pardons? The president doesn't necessarily need a review
Speaker 2: of a file at the Department of Justice to decide
Speaker 2: whether or not one guy or a woman should be
Speaker 2: pardoned or not. Joe Biden gave a blanket pardon to
Speaker 2: his son. Unprecedented entered into new ground on that one.
Speaker 2: Joe Biden did. He also released all kinds of commuted
Speaker 2: the senses of all kinds of just really horrifically nasty
Speaker 2: people where their files reviewed in advance. It really makes
Speaker 2: you when you see some of the details of the
Speaker 2: folks that are on Biden's pardon list, it really makes
Speaker 2: it hard to believe that actually someone reviewed the file
Speaker 2: and recommended that Joe go ahead and issue the pardon.
Speaker 2: Senator Sheldon Whitehouse asked about the weaponization of the Department
Speaker 2: of Justice, may sort of a statement question. It would
Speaker 2: not be appropriate for a prosecutor to start with a
Speaker 2: name and look for a crime. It's a prosecutor's job
Speaker 2: to start with a crime and look for a name, correct,
Speaker 2: and then she's Martley responded, well, Senator, I think that's
Speaker 2: the whole problem with the weaponization that we've seen the
Speaker 2: last four years and what's been happening to Donald Trump. Amen.
Speaker 2: They love accusing Republicans for doing the very thing that
Speaker 2: they have been doing. And why do you think all
Speaker 2: these questions are being asked is because well, they did it.
Speaker 2: They know it's possible, they know they're they're capable of
Speaker 2: getting away with it, and they just want to know
Speaker 2: if this these antics and these shenanigans and this weaponization
Speaker 2: is going to continue under Donald Trump's watch and under
Speaker 2: his people, notably Pambondi in this particular case. Five one
Speaker 2: three seven, eight hundred and eight two three talked on
Speaker 2: five to fifty on AT and T phones Mississippi, James,
Speaker 2: I get your calls right out of the gate, if
Speaker 2: you don't mind holding for a moment. I first want
Speaker 2: to mention affordable medical imaging. Got my appointment for a
Speaker 2: next CT scan already on the books in April, so
Speaker 2: fingers crossed that that'll work out. And the CT scan
Speaker 2: worked out fine. As I mentioned, when I was at
Speaker 2: my appointment with the doc and she said, well, we're
Speaker 2: gonna need to get another CT scan before your appointment,
Speaker 2: And she immediately said, do you want to go to
Speaker 2: the same place she went before, which was Affordable Imaging
Speaker 2: Services where I got my CT scan with a contrast
Speaker 2: for six hundred bucks. This, of course I do, so
Speaker 2: by the time I got home, I was already getting
Speaker 2: a call from Affordable Imaging Services because the docs office
Speaker 2: had gotten in touch with them. I got it all
Speaker 2: set up. I know I'm going to save a heapload
Speaker 2: of money. It's a new calendar year, so a new
Speaker 2: out of pocket responsibility. We all know what that's like.
Speaker 2: So rather than paying five thousand dollars at the hospital
Speaker 2: and then a separate bill for the radiologist report six
Speaker 2: hundred which includes the radiologists report, Now, if I didn't
Speaker 2: need a contrast that same scan, it only cost four
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty bucks MRI with contrast six forty five
Speaker 2: MRI without four ninety five echo Cardigram's only four ninety
Speaker 2: five ultrasound two fifty or a long screen, which is
Speaker 2: ninety nine bucks. They all complete with the board certified
Speaker 2: radiologist report. You and your doctor will both get that
Speaker 2: within forty eight hours. And of course the images are
Speaker 2: done by the same equipment the hospitals use. They just
Speaker 2: keep the overhead up are really really low, and that's
Speaker 2: how they managed to provide these wonderful services the same
Speaker 2: as the hospital does for a fraction of the cost.
Speaker 2: You have a choice. Exercise it save money five one

Speaker 2: The talk station Friday, have you Friday to You're gonna
Speaker 2: go straight to the phones. Got a couple of callers online.
Speaker 2: Jay hang on because I promised Mississippi James would be first.
Speaker 2: Welcome back, James. Always good to hear from you. Hey,
Speaker 2: good morning, doctor Brian. All right, now.
Speaker 9: Bring me up to speed on the two thoughts.
Speaker 15: On the tax cut, whether it be extended, whether it
Speaker 15: be expired.
Speaker 2: What's the two thoughts on it? Well, from my perspective,
Speaker 2: and I think it holds true given tax cuts in
Speaker 2: the past have actually resulted in more money flowing into
Speaker 2: government because we engage in more economic activity, because allowing
Speaker 2: us to spend our money where we want means we're
Speaker 2: not paying for fish on treadmill study, among others. But
Speaker 2: generally speaking, I don't believe in taxation heavily at all,
Speaker 2: and I think it's you know, I believe in freedom
Speaker 2: and liberty, and part of freedom and liberty is being
Speaker 2: able to use your labor transferred to the paycheck as
Speaker 2: you want to see it. But the idea that we
Speaker 2: have a problem here only exists because the federal government
Speaker 2: spends too damn much. Will the deficits go up if
Speaker 2: we don't, If they don't raise the taxes and they
Speaker 2: continue to spending on this track we're on, absolutely, but
Speaker 2: they're not cutting spending. It's like Janet Yellen, she got
Speaker 2: we're going to have unsustainable deficits. Well, we already do,
Speaker 2: and we had before the tax cuts went into place.
Speaker 2: You people just spend too much damn money. Maybe we
Speaker 2: need to choke off the flow of cash to the
Speaker 2: government and they'll tighten the belt on behalf of every
Speaker 2: American and we won't have unsustainable deficits. But in the
Speaker 2: final analysis, if they take more away from us, it
Speaker 2: slows down the wheels of business. It provides less hiring opportunities.
Speaker 2: There have been studies out saying that maybe six million
Speaker 2: jobs will be lost because of the additional taxation, which
Speaker 2: I have no reason or to argue with that. I'm
Speaker 2: not a number cruncher guy. That's just been widely reported.
Speaker 2: So raise the taxes, reduce economic activity. Lower the taxes,
Speaker 2: increase economic activity and also deficits. But I don't think
Speaker 2: anybody listening right now believes that if the taxes go
Speaker 2: up that the government will apply the additional revenue to
Speaker 2: the extent there even is, because as I pointed out,
Speaker 2: sometimes the lower taxes is up more revenue for government.
Speaker 2: But they even theoretically if all this additional money they'd
Speaker 2: be taken out of our pockets went to the deficits,
Speaker 2: which isn't going to happen. That if they don't close
Speaker 2: down or slow down or reduce the engine of government,
Speaker 2: generally speaking, we're going to continue to dig ourselves into
Speaker 2: a hole. So that's my take on it. James, I
Speaker 2: hope you have a happy Friday and a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 2: Give your wife my best, would you please, Jay, Welcome
Speaker 2: to the program. Happy Friday to you, Hey, Good morning, Brian.
Speaker 16: Take good and inspects A question for you, after all
Speaker 16: these years of a Macy Horono and a Chuck Schumer
Speaker 16: and an Adam Shift and I could keep going on
Speaker 16: with Joe Biden, Let's just take those states because we can.
Speaker 8: We should be frustrated with those politicians. The older I get,
Speaker 8: the more I realized it's the people behind the politicians
Speaker 8: who continue to vote for them and put them in
Speaker 8: office and inflict us with their bad ideas, inflict us
Speaker 8: with their corruption. In the case of Joe Biden, is
Speaker 8: there we have to understand the biggest threat to our
Speaker 8: national security are those states and the voters who continue
Speaker 8: to put these lousy, corrupt politicians sold out to China,
Speaker 8: supports the transgender movement, everything else that's ungodly, unholy and Unamerican.
Speaker 8: Is there a place in the Constitution that says that
Speaker 8: this voluntary union of States can throw out members of
Speaker 8: states before they because of the damage that they're in
Speaker 8: inflicting on the entire nation of three hundred and sixty
Speaker 8: million people.
Speaker 2: No, No, there isn't. I think in order to bring
Speaker 2: about throwing out of state you probably need something along
Speaker 2: the lines of an amendment to the Constitution. But you
Speaker 2: got to recognize we do live in a republic and
Speaker 2: that the citizenry decides who will best serve their interest
Speaker 2: in government. And if the citizenry has been dumbed down
Speaker 2: to the point where they think Corona or Shift or
Speaker 2: whoever are the best people for the job. And I
Speaker 2: think that's actually what has happened. They're so dumb that
Speaker 2: they think it's right, and they've sold a bill of
Speaker 2: goods about what these people claim they're going to give
Speaker 2: them from government. Government's going to give you this and
Speaker 2: give you that. I mean, you have to be completely
Speaker 2: ignorant of all things political and economic to believe that
Speaker 2: that's actually going to happen, or that it's actually a
Speaker 2: good thing for the for America.
Speaker 17: So I wonder if I wonder if rand Paul or
Speaker 17: somebody like that, when you would have them on next Massy,
Speaker 17: that would be an interesting question to ask, are we
Speaker 17: there yet to wear the there Red States ought to
Speaker 17: be sitting together and starting to put together something that
Speaker 17: says we are going to be pulled down. This nation's
Speaker 17: continuing to decline if we can't get rid of the
Speaker 17: power of California and New York and we can't control
Speaker 17: their voters. But if they're inflicting that kind of damage
Speaker 17: on the rest of us, that they are the national
Speaker 17: biggest security threat, then I say move to action. And
Speaker 17: it's not civil war. I think that would be dumb
Speaker 17: to pick up arm But there ought to be a
Speaker 17: way that we could say, if we are a voluntary
Speaker 17: union of states, that there will be a threshold, because
Speaker 17: right now it seems like there is no threshold whatsoever
Speaker 17: that some state and their voters can cross, and there
Speaker 17: is no threshold of how long the damage can continue
Speaker 17: until we can stop it.
Speaker 9: It's almost like they can.
Speaker 17: Continue to degrade all of us until this nation is destroyed.
Speaker 17: It seems like there needs to be an exit ramp,
Speaker 17: some safety valve that can be thrown in order to
Speaker 17: save the country.
Speaker 2: Well, it would be nice if we could do it
Speaker 2: and bring it about. I just take comfort and some
Speaker 2: solace in the fact that, you know, since let's say
Speaker 2: COVID or since the Biden administration, I mean, we did
Speaker 2: elect as a country pretty overwhelmingly Donald Trump, the evil
Speaker 2: trump Man, after you know, almost a decade of constant,
Speaker 2: constant beating him down and demonizing him. So the American
Speaker 2: people were smarter than that they didn't buy into it.
Speaker 2: They appreciate the fact that we're in poorer economic times
Speaker 2: after the Biden administration, hence the Trump election. We could
Speaker 2: go on the border isn't secure, impacting people of all
Speaker 2: political stripes. Dumb idea open borders were all feeling it.
Speaker 2: Voters woke up to that. Voters who lived in these
Speaker 2: left wing states have moved out in massive quantities New York, California,
Speaker 2: Illinois to states that are read because of the economic
Speaker 2: freedom that they can enjoy. They see the difference. It's
Speaker 2: in full display, and if the mainstream media would report
Speaker 2: more about it and point out the colossal differences between
Speaker 2: the way blue states are run. See the Los Angeles
Speaker 2: fires among others as an illustrate versus say how Texas
Speaker 2: or Florida are run. You know, then they can make
Speaker 2: more educated choices. Most people choose to stay away from politics.
Speaker 2: They don't pay attention to the ramifications and repercussions of
Speaker 2: what they've done. You think that the average Joe is
Speaker 2: out there watching any of these hearings or listening to
Speaker 2: the inane comments and questions by Mazie Herono, their own
Speaker 2: representative out in Hawaii. Probably not they're in Hawaii. They're
Speaker 2: probably sitting on the beach somewhere having a cocktail or something.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but maybe there has been an awakening.
Speaker 2: It's happening all over the world, and that's another thing
Speaker 2: I can take some comfort in. Jay. You look at Europe,
Speaker 2: they're moving away from these left wing policies. They too
Speaker 2: have an immigration problem that's just sort of been unleashed
Speaker 2: on them by the left wingers in the European Union.
Speaker 2: So maybe we are waking up. And of course the
Speaker 2: deficit and of itself, I think objectively, no one can
Speaker 2: say we're not in a huge, huge problem because we've
Speaker 2: spent too much. Pick a program. I'll even say the
Speaker 2: Defense Department. They can't even pass an audit, and you
Speaker 2: want to give a nine hundred billion dollars seven twenty

Speaker 2: keep electing people like Mazie Herono, who ask any questions
Speaker 2: and don't seem to be helping the country at all.
Speaker 2: Reckless overspending. Are we ever going to learn our lesson?
Speaker 2: Can we break away from those crazy states to save ourselves?
Speaker 2: Complicated question of the complicated answers in a country that
Speaker 2: will this republic we live in, We're going to get
Speaker 2: some eggs. But as I was saying, I was trying
Speaker 2: to be optimistic, you know, Trump being elected, the border
Speaker 2: being a key issue on that, people of all political
Speaker 2: stripes suffering their neighborhoods dealing with the problem created by
Speaker 2: this influx that they were not prepared for, school districts
Speaker 2: having being overwhelmed by immigrant children that don't speak English,
Speaker 2: resources being drained that otherwise should have gone to the
Speaker 2: people who pay the taxes. I mean, if you're a
Speaker 2: Democrat and you're in Chicago and you see that you know,
Speaker 2: a billion or however many dollars has been thrown out
Speaker 2: the immigrant crisis, and you're living in a terrible neighborhood,
Speaker 2: you've got to get You're going to get angry. And
Speaker 2: they are same thing in New York. They got problems
Speaker 2: of plenty in New York budget reason whyse because well,
Speaker 2: illegal immigrant problem. And so with that background, I mean,
Speaker 2: you can learn lessons and you can change your practices
Speaker 2: and your tactics. The Governor of Massachusetts requested on Wednesday

Speaker 2: obviously standing behind that up until now. Oh, we have
Speaker 2: an obligation, we have a right to shelter law, which
Speaker 2: means we need to put illegal immigrants in shelters. Well,
Speaker 2: that obviously uses up resources, and it well there's only
Speaker 2: a finite number of shelters that people can go into.
Speaker 2: So she's proposing a whole bunch of new restrictions for
Speaker 2: the shelter rights, tougher criminal background checks, establishing residency requirements,
Speaker 2: and prohibiting nearly any applicant who is not a US
Speaker 2: citizen or lawfully present in the country. How about that,
Speaker 2: don't come here, don't come to Massachusetts. You're not gonna
Speaker 2: have a place to sleep. Of course, that doesn't solve
Speaker 2: the homelessness problem that may result as a consequence of that,
Speaker 2: because presumably illegal immigrants will still come to Massachusetts. But
Speaker 2: certainly this is a step in the right direction. After
Speaker 2: learning the lessons of you know, guaranteed housing and guaranteed
Speaker 2: food and guaranteed everything for every single person who comes
Speaker 2: across the border, they're now dealing with reality. They've had
Speaker 2: a bunch of criminal busts and shelters. There was a
Speaker 2: rape of a disabled girl by one of the sheltered residents,
Speaker 2: and was also a one million dollar drug bus coupled
Speaker 2: with an AR fifteen that was found in one of
Speaker 2: these homeless shelters illegal immigrants. So positivity in there are
Speaker 2: positive movement in the right direction on that is, for
Speaker 2: his part, one of the local stories this morning, Joe
Speaker 2: and I were kind of laughing about whether this was
Speaker 2: actually going to happen or not, but have tab Provoll
Speaker 2: was asked about the illegal immigration system and this and
Speaker 2: situation under Donald Trump, which we all know is going
Speaker 2: to engage in some measure of deportation, had this to
Speaker 2: say to Sharon Coolidge over the enquire for President of
Speaker 2: the United States, backed by the Senate and House of
Speaker 2: representatives wants to do something as it relates to immigration,
Speaker 2: then they're going to do it. And there's no mayor
Speaker 2: in the country, particularly the mayor of a blue city
Speaker 2: in a red state, that's going to be able to
Speaker 2: do anything about it. He said, the cooperation should be
Speaker 2: as close as it is with the Biden administration. Look,
Speaker 2: I'm a Democratic, disagree with a lot of what President
Speaker 2: Trump's administration has said that they will prioritize on how
Speaker 2: they were governed. But this isn't about me as a person.
Speaker 2: This is about me as a mayor and how to
Speaker 2: strike a relationship and partnerships with everybody in order to
Speaker 2: put the city in the best possible position moving forward.
Speaker 2: And that includes not picking political fights that we know
Speaker 2: we are going to lose. What's most important to me
Speaker 2: is to have a strong, productive relationship with the Trump administration.
Speaker 2: As mayor, I was sworn in on the Constitution and
Speaker 2: the Charter, and it's my job to also uphold the
Speaker 2: law and to effectuate laws that have been passed. So
Speaker 2: it's a tough political position for me. Well, that sounds
Speaker 2: to me like he's not going to try to buck
Speaker 2: the system. I've read a bunch of different stories in
Speaker 2: different states. I think California allocated some odd fifty million
Speaker 2: dollars to help have organizations that will try to defend
Speaker 2: and stand in the way of the Trump administration's efforts
Speaker 2: to deport people. That's a polar opposite reaction and it's
Speaker 2: not something I would have expected out of pro Volt
Speaker 2: to make a statement like this, keep your popcorn out
Speaker 2: when Trump and the Ice agents come a calling for
Speaker 2: folks locally here living in the city of Cincinnati as
Speaker 2: to whether that position will actually be changed or he'll
Speaker 2: stick with this and at least not stand in the way.
Speaker 2: Mike hang on, I promise to take your call as

Speaker 2: your old home, older or old, however you perceive it
Speaker 2: to be insulated more or rather better than even modern
Speaker 2: homes that they're building now with the modern insulation. USA's
Speaker 2: foam is that great. And if you have insulation in
Speaker 2: the exterior walls, but it's really really old. Your home
Speaker 2: is a bit older. You can put the foam in
Speaker 2: with the insulation that will provide you this additional benefit.
Speaker 2: It makes you eligible for the twelve hundred dollars energy
Speaker 2: tax credit when you're doing your taxes for this year
Speaker 2: next year, of course, and it's only ninety nine dollars
Speaker 2: a month interest free. You may very well save that
Speaker 2: much every month. As long as your HVAC system is running,
Speaker 2: you are going to be saving and your house will
Speaker 2: be noticeably more comfortable from day one. It's a free

Speaker 2: five KRC Morning Show.
Speaker 18: Hello, Thanks Gary, Brian, Thanks Brian.
Speaker 8: How are you doing.
Speaker 2: I'm doing well. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 18: Mike Good I'm an opportunist. I heard you saying on
Speaker 18: the radio ipen like anything to talk about to call in,
Speaker 18: So I called in to talk about Positively Mainstross, which
Speaker 18: is a benefit we're having at the Village Theater. We're
Speaker 18: having it on February second, and it's thirty bands that
Speaker 18: are going to get together and play and support a
Speaker 18: children's hospital cancer department, giving children's hope.
Speaker 3: And it's going to go all.
Speaker 18: Day and it's going to be a great time.
Speaker 10: Let's like raffles and auctions and all kinds of great things.
Speaker 2: You got a website for that one.
Speaker 18: Yeah, you can go to our Facebook page which is
Speaker 18: the Voyage Theater and then we also have the Village
Speaker 18: Theater website on the MIC's music page.
Speaker 2: Fantastic. Well, I wish you all the best for the charity,
Speaker 2: and I hope a lot of people show up and
Speaker 2: have a great time. And you get that many bands
Speaker 2: together and you got a lot of music, I think
Speaker 2: you can always guarantee it's going to be a great time.
Speaker 2: Appreciate the call, Mike, and thanks for doing the charity work.
Speaker 2: Let's see what Joe's got this morning. Joe, Welcome to
Speaker 2: the Morning Show. Happy Friday, Happy.
Speaker 3: After tried and God bless you and your family. Brian,
Speaker 3: thank you, sir, You're welcome. Just real quick, and as
Speaker 3: always I want to get your input. I'm optimistic as
Speaker 3: you are, but mostly because of the incarnations as opposed
Speaker 3: to activities so far. An example, I'm not averse to
Speaker 3: term limits, and I can say this because I'm an
Speaker 3: old man. I kind of like the idea of age limits.
Speaker 3: You know, get rid of this air intocracy, because if
Speaker 3: you're not going to be around long enough to suffer consequences,
Speaker 3: you shouldn't be making decisions for that generation. And I
Speaker 3: think it's going to take more than a four year
Speaker 3: term for a good president.
Speaker 2: Your thoughts, Well, I understand, I don't know. I vacillate
Speaker 2: on term limits. Sometimes I think they're a great idea.
Speaker 2: In others I don't. The idea of term limits to
Speaker 2: me is is appealing when I think about as long
Speaker 2: as they're not there, as long as they're for a
Speaker 2: finite amount of time, then they are probably going to
Speaker 2: tend to be more honest and not going to use
Speaker 2: that re election after reelection after reelection for their own
Speaker 2: personal financial benefit and advantage because so many of them
Speaker 2: and you don't make that much. I mean, we've got
Speaker 2: to work in Washington, d C. And you make one
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy five thousand dollars a year. Yeah, good
Speaker 2: luck on that. But they get a lot of perks.
Speaker 2: They don't have to pay for meals a lot and
Speaker 2: things like that. But you know, how can you go
Speaker 2: in to office and make that level of salary and
Speaker 2: leave a multi multi millionaire. You know, it's just beyond
Speaker 2: my comprehension. How is brock Obacha owner of a Barack
Speaker 2: Obama owner of multiple mansions? How is it that Joe
Speaker 2: Biden is retiring a multi millionaire? He's got a bunch
Speaker 2: of different houses reju Ho Beach, and we can go
Speaker 2: on up and down the line. They use the office,
Speaker 2: and these have quite often for corrupt purposes, to serve
Speaker 2: their own best interest. So a term limit, I think
Speaker 2: would reduce the opportunity for that kind of thing to happen.
Speaker 2: I don't think it would eliminate it. But and in
Speaker 2: terms of age, you know, I don't know that age
Speaker 2: is this positive because of course the older you get,
Speaker 2: the smarter you become. I think, the wiser you become.
Speaker 2: You've got so many life examples, things that you've seen,
Speaker 2: mistakes that people have made, the consequences, and you can
Speaker 2: factor all those in and make a more informed decision.
Speaker 2: What really worries me is not someone who's older, unless
Speaker 2: of course you're demonstrably impaired, like Joe Biden. Someone who's
Speaker 2: older has that wisdom. But someone who is younger. And
Speaker 2: you got a guy like what is that David Hogg,
Speaker 2: that anti gun advocate who's running for office. I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't know how old that kid is. And you
Speaker 2: look at a guy like, you know, PG Sittenfeld, who
Speaker 2: was a really really young guy when he went into office.
Speaker 2: They don't have any life experience. They don't know about
Speaker 2: the inner workings of government. I know you got to
Speaker 2: start somewhere, But you know, I've told this story a
Speaker 2: bunch of times. A twenty two year old or twenty
Speaker 2: year old somebody emailed me at one time told me
Speaker 2: how old he was and what he wanted to do.
Speaker 2: He said, I want to do what you're doing for
Speaker 2: a living. He wanted to be talking about politics on
Speaker 2: the air. He's probably got a podcast by this time.
Speaker 2: We're going back. She's like twelve years or more. And
Speaker 2: I said, I could not do this job absent the
Speaker 2: sixteen years I practiced law fresh out of college. Put
Speaker 2: me behind a microphone. I mean, I was politically aware,
Speaker 2: and I was big into politics before I went to college.
Speaker 2: My political you know, I got engaged in politics when
Speaker 2: I was in high school, Thank you, Chuck Burkholtz. But
Speaker 2: did I have enough knowledge and wisdom to be a
Speaker 2: representative or a senator? Hell no. So I have a
Speaker 2: profound appreciation for that kind of life experience. If you're
Speaker 2: healthy and you're cognitively you know sound, and you've got
Speaker 2: great ideas, you can apply that life experience. So term
Speaker 2: limits maybe, but age limits I don't know. Sometimes seems
Speaker 2: kind of arbitrary to me. Seven fifty six five KRC
Speaker 2: the Talk Station. Well, we'll keep our fingers crossed. I'm
Speaker 2: supposed to have doctor Charles Kamarta. He's a retired astronaut
Speaker 2: and he's got a book, Mission out of Control. He
Speaker 2: wants to talk to you about. We'll talk with him,
Speaker 2: hopefully off top of the hour news. Other than that,
Speaker 2: we'll take phone calls to stick around from.
Speaker 7: A full rundown, and the biggest headlines there's minutes away
Speaker 7: at the top of the hour.
Speaker 2: I'm giving you a fact now the Americans should know.
Speaker 7: Fifty five KRS the talk station, your morning news on
Speaker 7: the way to work, and all.
Speaker 2: Day in fault check in throughout the day. Fifty five KRC,
Speaker 2: the Talk Station, eighth five. Here at fifty five KCY
Speaker 2: Talk Station, A very happy Friday to you intrigued about
Speaker 2: this book. I'm happy to welcome to the fifty five
Speaker 2: Carcy Morning Show doctor Charles Kamara, author of the book.
Speaker 2: We're going to be talking about Mission out of Control
Speaker 2: and astronaut's odyssey to fix high risk organizations and prevent tragedy.
Speaker 2: He is, as the book suggests, and astronaut. What a
Speaker 2: cool thing to say. You are research engineer and venor author, educator,
Speaker 2: internationally recognized expert and invited speaker on subjects regarding engineering, engineering, design, innovation, safety,
Speaker 2: organizational behavior and education. He's got more than sixty technical publications,
Speaker 2: hold nine patents, and over twenty national and international awards.
Speaker 2: That could go on for hours on his background. He
Speaker 2: retired from NASA and May twenty nineteen after forty five
Speaker 2: years of continuous research as our continuous service as a
Speaker 2: research engineer and technical manager at Langley Research Center. Who's
Speaker 2: Director of Engineering at Johnson Space Center and Senior Advisor
Speaker 2: for Innovation and Engineering at Development at Langley. Welcome to
Speaker 2: the Morning Show, doctor Kimarta. It is a pleasure to
Speaker 2: have you on today.
Speaker 9: Good morning, Briant. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: I mean, I got it being an astronaut. To me,
Speaker 2: that's just fascinating, and you probably won't. You're a very
Speaker 2: small slice of the entire population. I'm just kind of
Speaker 2: wondering whether you would rather be referred to as astronaut
Speaker 2: doctor Charles Kermonda or doctor astronaut Charles Kermona, because I
Speaker 2: would always want to put that in when I was
Speaker 2: introducing myself.
Speaker 9: You know, Brian, most people call me Charlie.
Speaker 2: There you go, well, Charles Mission, out of Control, Astronauts,
Speaker 2: Honesty to fit the high risk organization and prevent tragedy.
Speaker 2: First off, what I think I have an understanding as
Speaker 2: to why what prompted you to write this book before
Speaker 2: we start talking about what the book is intended to do.
Speaker 15: Well, as you said, I worked for NASSA for over
Speaker 15: forty five years and it was an amazing organization when
Speaker 15: I was a young researcher at Mass aligned with but
Speaker 15: it changed, it watched its way. We stopped doing real
Speaker 15: applied reach church. We started becoming a production organization, especially
Speaker 15: on the human space flight side, and we started just
Speaker 15: looking at operating vehicles and flying them in space, and
Speaker 15: we lost our touch with our research routs and we
Speaker 15: lost our capability to actually understand when we had critical problems.
Speaker 2: So am I correct to understand? You were on the
Speaker 2: team that led the investigation why the Columbia Space Shuttle
Speaker 2: blew up?
Speaker 9: Well, I didn't lead the team.
Speaker 15: I led one of the teams that was investigating the
Speaker 15: technical cause of the problem, and that was the impact.
Speaker 15: And we use some of my good friends Matt Mellis
Speaker 15: and some of Kelly Carney and some of the great
Speaker 15: people at Glenn Research Center right there in Cleveland.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, when I was reading through the materials, I
Speaker 2: did write Boeing down here because Boeing has been plagued
Speaker 2: with problems. They make the planes, but they don't you know,
Speaker 2: let like, for example, what they are pilots know. They
Speaker 2: changed the software, they have, you know, the poor performance
Speaker 2: in terms of manufacturing. They have a product, but they
Speaker 2: have breakdowns in manufacturing that obviously can lead and have
Speaker 2: led to the loss of life. Is that sort of
Speaker 2: an illustration of the of the like a company to
Speaker 2: whom you would focus this book or directed their attention
Speaker 2: to this book.
Speaker 9: Absolutely, a lot of companies. It's a very similar problem.
Speaker 15: Because what we learned after the Columbia accident was that
Speaker 15: the primary cause of the of the accident was the culture.
Speaker 15: And what you saw after the seven thirty seven Max
Speaker 15: accidents with Boeing is they came to the same conclusion.
Speaker 15: Boeing lost this way, just like National loss this way.
Speaker 15: Technical excellence was no longer and safety were no longer
Speaker 15: the key primary focus of the organization. It got bobbed
Speaker 15: down with the bottom line, market share, profit and that's
Speaker 15: a very similar but different reasons came very focused on
Speaker 15: production schedule and budget and keeping the programs alive, and
Speaker 15: it's become a bladed bureaucracy. And what I realized, what
Speaker 15: I learned in the research writing the book, is that
Speaker 15: what other people missed was there's a difference between technical excellence,
Speaker 15: technical people, good engineers, and what I call research engineers.
Speaker 15: And so I described the elements that make up a
Speaker 15: good research a good learning organization like what Boeing used
Speaker 15: to be, just like NASA was, and how that could
Speaker 15: lead to a very toxiculture which becomes psychologically unsafe. People
Speaker 15: are afraid to speak up, and then bad things happen
Speaker 15: and the accidents recur, just like Challenger and Columbia.
Speaker 2: Well, you mentioned bottom line profit share and market share
Speaker 2: and profit all being primary drivers and to the exclusion
Speaker 2: of perhaps this intense focus on perhaps safety. But on
Speaker 2: a similar note, I kind of think that maybe, like
Speaker 2: if you look at DEI departments, they're focus on culture
Speaker 2: and they're focused on social issues and issues that transcend
Speaker 2: any given companies primary focus, which would be should be
Speaker 2: providing a quality product and or service to their customers.
Speaker 2: Is that another form of sort of a lack of
Speaker 2: focus or improper direction that we could point to.
Speaker 15: Well, diversity is good, right, It helps us create, It
Speaker 15: helps us come with very innovative solutions. But dei and
Speaker 15: quotas and getting away from merit talkers. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 15: a good research organization is knowledge is key, and you
Speaker 15: have deference to the people that have that expertise, and
Speaker 15: you always have to develop those skills and maintain those standards.
Speaker 2: Well, are you concerned about the state of education in
Speaker 2: the United States because we seem to be turning out
Speaker 2: young people who just are taught to the test, but
Speaker 2: not taught to critically think. I mean, it's one of
Speaker 2: the reasons why I love law schools so much, because
Speaker 2: it was a socratic method, that back and forth and
Speaker 2: that delving down and looking into and analyzing, you know,
Speaker 2: in that particular case, different areas of law. But it
Speaker 2: was a wonderful teaching method. We don't seem to be
Speaker 2: teaching children logic and reason anymore. Is there a shortage
Speaker 2: of that? Is that part of the cultural problem here?
Speaker 15: You're absolutely correct. When I was reassigned at mathif was
Speaker 15: speaking up, I started diving into how do we train
Speaker 15: our young engineers and education in general around the United States.
Speaker 15: As a matter of fact, I started a five oh
Speaker 15: one to three c educational nonprofit clots called the Ethic
Speaker 15: Education Foundation, where we used a challenge based learning approach.
Speaker 15: And yeah, absolutely correct. Lawyers do this. They think critically,
Speaker 15: They look at all different sides of an argument. And
Speaker 15: you have this free environment where you could have this discourse.
Speaker 15: You can have these disagreements, but you relied on the
Speaker 15: facts and the knowledge, and the knowledge that was verified
Speaker 15: by tests and analysis.
Speaker 2: Okay, So in in a corporate environment, moving away from
Speaker 2: you know, lawyers, you know talking and advocating on behalf
Speaker 2: of their clients and sort of thinking around the different
Speaker 2: challenges they face. But in a corporate environment, I think
Speaker 2: you alluded to it earlier. People have this reluctance to
Speaker 2: hold their hand of and say no, no, that's a
Speaker 2: dumb idea because of the you know, am I going
Speaker 2: to lose my job? Am I going to embarrass my boss?
Speaker 2: I can't do that. I'm not going to be the
Speaker 2: longest feese up.
Speaker 15: That's exactly what you're talking about. A psychological safety Amianmenson
Speaker 15: wrote a book to feel this organization about this, and
Speaker 15: I talk about this in my book how in a
Speaker 15: real a true research culture, a true research environment. This
Speaker 15: is this is absolutely critical. And so when I spoke
Speaker 15: about my book and culture to the senior executives at
Speaker 15: Boeing and I told them how ugly the culture was
Speaker 15: and the environment was at NASA's they their eyes were
Speaker 15: wide open. But people were coming up to me and saying,
Speaker 15: you know what, Charlie, the culture is worth at Boeing.
Speaker 15: And I didn't believe them. But that was six months
Speaker 15: before the first of the first Yon, that crash of
Speaker 15: seven thirty seven, and then six months later you had
Speaker 15: the ETHOPI and Allins crash and the body cell out
Speaker 15: of Boeing. And so what I was trying to tell
Speaker 15: the Bowie senior executives after the seven thirty seven crash
Speaker 15: was that you need to listen to your people. People
Speaker 15: are telling you there are major problems, but their voices
Speaker 15: of being needed and they're being canceled.
Speaker 2: Well, part of me, let me ask you this, sir.
Speaker 2: And then again I guess is astronaut doctor Charles kamarda
Speaker 2: Mission out of Control and astronauts Odyssey to fix High
Speaker 2: risk organizations and prevent tragedies sort of. The subtitles suggests
Speaker 2: high risk organizations. Who did you write the book for?
Speaker 2: Was it for the public at large? Are you focusing on,
Speaker 2: you know, corporate culture and your leaders and executives within companies.
Speaker 15: Originally I focused on it as a way to help
Speaker 15: fix massive but what I realized was when NASA wasn't listening,
Speaker 15: there were many organizations that have this very similar problem.
Speaker 15: And so the second half of the book I talk
Speaker 15: about ways that we could fix this problem, how we
Speaker 15: could use technology, how we could to train people differently,
Speaker 15: how we can build what I call these five key
Speaker 15: principles of a research culture.
Speaker 2: Well, I guess there's probably you know, using Boeing as
Speaker 2: an illustration and NASA's an illustration, I would imagine there
Speaker 2: is a different mindset among the employees that in the
Speaker 2: private sector, Yeah, you run the risk of losing your job,
Speaker 2: you run the risk of getting fired for incompetence. But
Speaker 2: I would think in a government environment, you're less likely
Speaker 2: to face any well penalty for maybe not doing work
Speaker 2: or for maybe causing a problem or something. There's a
Speaker 2: sort of a protection element in government jobs. It seems
Speaker 2: to not exist in the private sector. Is there a
Speaker 2: distinction between them and along the lines of what you're
Speaker 2: talking about, it's.
Speaker 15: Not really, because you know, I spoke up after I
Speaker 15: flew in space. I became director of engineering, and when
Speaker 15: I saw problems with safety, I spoke up in a
Speaker 15: flight readiness review and I was reassigned three days later.
Speaker 15: So if you can imagine an astronaut being silenced, it
Speaker 15: can happen to anyone. And while you don't might lose
Speaker 15: your job, you might lose your position, you might lose
Speaker 15: your voice, and you're placed in a terrible situation where
Speaker 15: you no longer can do the job that you loved.
Speaker 15: People will not treat you the same because you're no
Speaker 15: longer you're a piranha, You're a pariah, your persona non grata.
Speaker 2: Fair enough, well, doctor. Obviously, in the book, you identify
Speaker 2: the general concepts we're talking about the problem that we face,
Speaker 2: and I presume that you offer an outline solutions to
Speaker 2: these problems, practical solutions that people in the business world
Speaker 2: can incorporate.
Speaker 9: Absolutely.
Speaker 15: I have key things for leaders to look for signs
Speaker 15: that the culture is going awry. I talk about technical
Speaker 15: use of technology to help us identify when an individual team,
Speaker 15: because it only takes one small team to be dysfunctional,
Speaker 15: like the team that was working on the ownings or
Speaker 15: the team that was analyzing the impact of foam on Columbia.
Speaker 15: You have one dysfunctional team and it could cause a tragedy.
Speaker 15: So I highlight several ideas for how do you build
Speaker 15: a psychologically safe environment, a knowledge based hierrocky where you
Speaker 15: encourage people to fail and learn by failure, and how
Speaker 15: you're transparent, how you share information openly and you encourage
Speaker 15: competing ideas.
Speaker 2: I love the sound of it. It sounds practical and
Speaker 2: logical and reasonable to me. Astronaut doctor Charles Kamarta, author
Speaker 2: of Mission out of Control and astronauts Odyssey to Fix
Speaker 2: High Risk Organization and Prevent Tragedy. Doctor, we have your
Speaker 2: book on my blog page fifty five KRC dot com.
Speaker 2: I sounds to me like there's a lot of business
Speaker 2: owners out there in my audience it would love to
Speaker 2: get a copy of this, and I'm sure they will. Well,
Speaker 2: thank you for spending time with my listeners and I
Speaker 2: today and identifying this problem so we can work on solutions, sir,
Speaker 2: That's what.
Speaker 9: It's all about. Thank you very much for having me, Brian.
Speaker 2: My pleasure, Absolutely, my pleasure. It's eight eighteen right now,
Speaker 2: fifty five krc V talk station. Feel free to call
Speaker 2: you had a couple of callers online as we went
Speaker 2: into the break. If you guys want to call back,
Speaker 2: Joe'll open up the phone lines and I'll be happy
Speaker 2: to talk with you. Otherwise I get to pick the
Speaker 2: subject matter. Five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five
Speaker 2: eight hundred eight two three talk pound five fifty on
Speaker 2: AT and T phones, fifty five KRC dot com. These
Speaker 2: times of massive inflation have people just like you strapped.
Speaker 9: As far as my debt, I was drowning.
Speaker 2: In eight twenty two.
Speaker 12: These are.
Speaker 9: Renses to.
Speaker 2: CLU, wonderful world. I was like, totally, It just depends
Speaker 2: on where you're looking. Two three found five fifty on
Speaker 2: AT and T phones. I guess it is, uh in
Speaker 2: some degree a good thing. Uh, maybe it's a wonderful
Speaker 2: world that Benjamin Yahoo and the Hamas whoever signs on
Speaker 2: the dotted line for Hamas have now entered into the
Speaker 2: ceasefire agreement for the in the Gaza strip and ultimately
Speaker 2: free Israeli hostages and other hostages. And of course there
Speaker 2: were some bumps in the road. Yesterday looked like they
Speaker 2: had assigned deal and then Hamas was accused of renigging
Speaker 2: on parts of the original agreement. Will apparently they got
Speaker 2: details ham burned out. So the full cabinet in Israel
Speaker 2: will take up the deal today, likely to go in
Speaker 2: effect on Monday, according to people familiar with the matter.
Speaker 2: So I just see the fighting end. I suppose give
Speaker 2: it a loss of life, but Juststrekker and I remain
Speaker 2: jaded and cynical that that deal is going to stick anyhow.
Speaker 2: Was going through a different a couple of different things,
Speaker 2: you know, looking for optimism at all the craziness going
Speaker 2: on in the world, And I talked about obviously Trump
Speaker 2: getting elected in and of itself is a sign of
Speaker 2: optimism considering most of these running on, you know, immigration
Speaker 2: for example, and lowering regulations, you know, a variety of
Speaker 2: different things that seem to be more and more appealing
Speaker 2: every single day. It's as if, you know, after talking
Speaker 2: to the doctor there, people woke up to the reality
Speaker 2: we've got a problem on our hands, like the California wildfire.
Speaker 2: Problem after problem after problem, the defunding of the fire departments,
Speaker 2: the not doing and following through projects that would have
Speaker 2: cleaned up some of the brush and reduced the you know,
Speaker 2: likelihood of this massive conflagration they've got going on, just
Speaker 2: one thing after another. See you step back from that.
Speaker 2: If it happens to you enough times and over and
Speaker 2: over again, then you might start looking for the source
Speaker 2: of the problem. And I think people caught on and
Speaker 2: the source of the problem of these fatcrap insane ideas
Speaker 2: like DEI for example, I talked about it earlier in
Speaker 2: the morning with the Federal of the FBI shut down
Speaker 2: its DEEI department in December, just close it down because
Speaker 2: it didn't have anything to do with fulfilling their mission.
Speaker 2: Going back again to the doctor, what is your mission
Speaker 2: with fighting crime and catching bad guys? Okay? Does that
Speaker 2: have anything to do with teaching people who are responsible
Speaker 2: for fighting crime and catching bad guys? Teaching them about
Speaker 2: cultural issues, spending many valuable hours that could be used
Speaker 2: to search for bad guys and fighting crime or solving crime,
Speaker 2: Spending many valuable hours like sort of trying to meld
Speaker 2: people into particular mindset, no one for all, all for
Speaker 2: one fight crime. It's like peek Hegzath leading the military
Speaker 2: what does he want. He wants a strong fighting force.
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter where you're gay, or you're a lesbian or whatever.
Speaker 2: We're going to be looking for the best and brightest
Speaker 2: people who are capable of fulfilling the mission. Killing people
Speaker 2: and breaking things is the way I like to sum
Speaker 2: it up. That's what we do, that's what we should
Speaker 2: be focused on. And it's not that he has anything
Speaker 2: against women generally. He just wants to make sure that
Speaker 2: if you're going to put a woman out in combat,
Speaker 2: that she's capable of well being able to do the job.
Speaker 2: Going back to the LA fires, what was the LA
Speaker 2: fire chiefs? Since that you're in the wrong place and
Speaker 2: it's your fault for being there if I can't pick
Speaker 2: you up and haul you out, Is that what you
Speaker 2: want a firefighter?
Speaker 15: No.
Speaker 2: One of the lists of things I'd want from a
Speaker 2: firefighter is a person man or woman who is capable
Speaker 2: of picking me up and dragging me out. I may
Speaker 2: have my legs crushed, I may be in a precarious position.
Speaker 2: It may not have been my fault. What's the focus
Speaker 2: of your mission is what are you trying to accomplish?
Speaker 2: Give me the people who are capable of doing that
Speaker 2: and train them to do that. And if they want
Speaker 2: to hang out and go to a club on the
Speaker 2: weekend or participate in some sort of protest on the
Speaker 2: weekend when they're not at work where they're supposed to
Speaker 2: be doing their job either killing people or breaking things
Speaker 2: or fighting crime, just as an illustration of a couple
Speaker 2: of things, then let them. Yeah, go ahead, just don't
Speaker 2: incorporate it into the business model. A twenty six fifty

Speaker 2: Also on the podcast page plus help Americans for Prosperity.
Speaker 2: Save the Trump tax cuts so critically important that we
Speaker 2: keep those in place. They would ruin the economy tremendously
Speaker 2: if they are taken away. And again we have a

Speaker 2: care sea dot com. Y Also year iHeart Media app
Speaker 2: stream all of the audio from the entire iHeart library
Speaker 2: there and again podcast There's a fire this morning. In
Speaker 2: terms of local stories, firefighters responded to a fire this
Speaker 2: morning at a building occupied by a construction business on
Speaker 2: Sutton Place, right off Princeton Glendale Road. Westchester. Fire chief
Speaker 2: said the crews arrived at the scene about three o'clock
Speaker 2: this morning. Firefighters said part of the building's roof had
Speaker 2: already collapsed. No injuries, though, thankfully the chief in spite
Speaker 2: of the severity of the fire, portion of Princeville Glennen
Speaker 2: Glendell was shut down for a while. Cause of the
Speaker 2: fire is under investigation and they're investigating how the flame
Speaker 2: started and to access the extent of the damage. Looks
Speaker 2: like a pretty sizable fire and what else is going on?
Speaker 2: Shootout Jess Drekker's neighborhood, cole Ringe Township. We have two
Speaker 2: dad and one in critical condition at UC Medical Center.
Speaker 2: According to the spokesperson for Coleraine Township, police were actively
Speaker 2: investigating yesterday. Had to shut down some of the businesses
Speaker 2: there outside the Walgreens and the Popeyes on either side
Speaker 2: of Coleraine Avenue, I guess opposite each other. A spokesperson
Speaker 2: said that two people who died were near the Popeyes.
Speaker 2: The person that was taken to the hospital was found
Speaker 2: at the Walgreens across the street, so the officers are
Speaker 2: no longer investigating at the scenes. The Popeyes, Dunkin Donuts,
Speaker 2: and Shell gas station had to remain close throughout the
Speaker 2: balance of the day yesterday, and they haven't yet provided
Speaker 2: any information on a possible suspect. Spokesman said the investigators
Speaker 2: are currently believed the shooting was targeted. I trust that
Speaker 2: they would love to hear from you. If you have
Speaker 2: any information relating to the shooting, get in touch with
Speaker 2: the col Ring Township Police Department. I mentioned this earlier
Speaker 2: in different contexts. But after Purval was asked about Joe
Speaker 2: Biden or about Donald Trump's immigration policy, speaking with Sharon
Speaker 2: Coolidge from The Inquirer, because we all know Donald Trump
Speaker 2: is going to do something about the outrageous situation we
Speaker 2: have because of the open borders policy under the Biden administration.
Speaker 2: He's going to start with, as I understand it, the
Speaker 2: criminal element. Seems to me, if you've been convicted of
Speaker 2: a crime, you know that should result in immediately being
Speaker 2: kicked out of our country. But you learn time after time,
Speaker 2: and I got a couple other different stories about it,
Speaker 2: time after time that you know, someone is caught convict
Speaker 2: committing some heinous crime, illegal immigrant, and you find out
Speaker 2: they got a rap sheet as long as your arm
Speaker 2: since entering our country, and yet they remain get let
Speaker 2: free out on the streets time after time after time.
Speaker 2: So anyway, since Cincinnati has declared itself a sanctuary city,
Speaker 2: Parvall was asked about this. Parwal pledges the city of
Speaker 2: Cincinnati will nonetheless follow Trump Administration's directives. I thought this
Speaker 2: was rather interesting. I wouldn't expect this that I have
Speaker 2: to have, Parvall. He said, if the President of the
Speaker 2: United States back by the Senate and the House Representatives
Speaker 2: wants to do something as it relates to immigration, then
Speaker 2: they're going to do it. And there's no mayor in
Speaker 2: the country, particularly a mayor of a blue city in
Speaker 2: a red state, that's going to be able to do
Speaker 2: anything about it. The cooperation should be as close as
Speaker 2: it is with the Biden administration. Look, I'm a Democrat,
Speaker 2: he said. I disagree a lot with a lot of
Speaker 2: what President Trump's administration has said that they will prioritize
Speaker 2: on how they will govern, But this isn't about me
Speaker 2: as a person. This is about me as a mayor
Speaker 2: and how to strike a relationship and partnership with everybody
Speaker 2: in order to put the city in the best position
Speaker 2: moving forward. And that includes not picking political fights that
Speaker 2: we know we're going to lose. What's most important to
Speaker 2: me is having a strong, productive relationship with the Trump administration, said,
Speaker 2: I was sworn in on the Constitution in the Charter,
Speaker 2: and it's my job to also uphold the law and
Speaker 2: to effectuate laws that have been passed. Calling it a
Speaker 2: tough position for sure, given their political differences. So I
Speaker 2: think I got my popcorn out on that. It will
Speaker 2: remain to be seen. But we do have a sizable
Speaker 2: illegal immigrant population in the greater Cincinnati area. I know
Speaker 2: it's not widely reported, but many folks that may be
Speaker 2: subject to deportation at least at some point under the
Speaker 2: Trump administration. So I will see if he keeps to
Speaker 2: his word and allows Immigrations and Customs Enforcement to do
Speaker 2: its job and the Trump administration to follow through with
Speaker 2: the policies that it has promised the American people. Eight
Speaker 2: thirty five Right now, feel free to call. We've got
Speaker 2: time five point three, seven four nine fifty five hundred,
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty two to three talk. I'll be

Speaker 2: I have just twenty five on Sunday with early clouds
Speaker 2: and clear skies later. I understand it's going to be

Speaker 11: You'll need a couple of extra minutes into downtown northbound
Speaker 11: seventy five. That's an extra five between Buttermilk and the bridge.
Speaker 11: Chuck ing ramonth fifty five KRC the talk station.
Speaker 2: They say thirty nine fifty five KERCD talk station. Happy Friday.
Speaker 2: By the way, I thought it was a rather interesting
Speaker 2: exchange between Scott Descent, the President of Elect Trump's nomine
Speaker 2: to lead the Treasury Department, and Bernie Sanders got into
Speaker 2: a little mix up the other day. Since what we're
Speaker 2: doing all these hearings. You may recall, during his farewell
Speaker 2: speech to the nation, Biden talked about an oligarchy taking
Speaker 2: shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that
Speaker 2: literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights, freedoms, and
Speaker 2: a fair shot for everyone to get ahead. Bernie Sanders,
Speaker 2: for hip part, came out saying I agree with Biden
Speaker 2: on that, calling out specifically Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and
Speaker 2: Mark Zuckerberg, who have well, at least Elon Musk we've
Speaker 2: known has been on the right side for a little while. Anyway,
Speaker 2: Bezos and Zuckerberg obviously working with the Biden administration, these
Speaker 2: evil oligarchs to suppress information from you and me. Zuckerberg
Speaker 2: came out and came out swinging about that how the
Speaker 2: people over the DJ would yell at them and scream
Speaker 2: at them. You cannot allow this to be posted, most
Speaker 2: notably in connection with COVID. But the sent said, the
Speaker 2: three billionaires you listed, you, Bernie Sanders, all made their
Speaker 2: money themselves, and you've also put it out mister Musk
Speaker 2: came to the country as an immigrant. Sanders cut him off,
Speaker 2: reiterated his question. Sent for his part, said, well, I
Speaker 2: would note that President Biden gave the Presidential Medal of
Speaker 2: Freedom to two people who I think would qualify for
Speaker 2: his oligarchs, notably George Soros and David Rubinstein. This is
Speaker 2: not a combination of any one individual. Sanader said, I'm
Speaker 2: just asking you, so, with so few people having so
Speaker 2: much wealth and power, do you think this is an
Speaker 2: oligarch form of society, Senator, I think it depends on
Speaker 2: the the ability to move up and down the income,
Speaker 2: in other words, swing and to fight a couple of
Speaker 2: shots there in favor of capitalism. You have the freedom.
Speaker 2: You can educate yourself. You can go out into the world.
Speaker 2: You can provide the world with some benefit that it
Speaker 2: doesn't have. You can build a business, you can hire people,
Speaker 2: or you can be someone else and do something else. Thankfully,
Speaker 2: we have people that are as smart as Elon Musk
Speaker 2: and Bezos and Zuckerberg who build big businesses and provide
Speaker 2: us with employment opportunities. Then he was asked us as
Speaker 2: Sanders asked him if he would raise the federal minimum
Speaker 2: wage to what he calls a living wage. Which is
Speaker 2: kind of a joke too, because when you start seeing
Speaker 2: the numbers out of California, most notably Los Angeles during
Speaker 2: the fire, and how much money it takes to live
Speaker 2: out there is anybody out there even making the federal
Speaker 2: minimum wage, which has been seven dollars and twenty five
Speaker 2: cents since two thousand and nine. No, the economic conditions
Speaker 2: are out there are dramatically different about the lowest paying
Speaker 2: job in California in that area is probably like twenty
Speaker 2: bucks or more. The market sets that, and that's what
Speaker 2: Descent was pointing to when he responded to him, Senator,
Speaker 2: I believe the minimum wage is more of a state
Speaker 2: and regional issue. In response, Center says, so, you don't
Speaker 2: think we should change the federal minimum wage. We have
Speaker 2: seven to twenty five an hour. His response a flat
Speaker 2: out no, sir. Good for him. It is a regional
Speaker 2: issue in spite of the fact there's a seven to
Speaker 2: twenty five minimum wage. You know, in order to get
Speaker 2: any young person these days to get up off their
Speaker 2: button away from the PlayStation, you're gonna have to pay
Speaker 2: them a little bit more money. Whether they stick around
Speaker 2: and onto their commitment to their jobs is a different thing.
Speaker 2: But speaking of George Soros, George Soros's Open Society Foundation leftists.
Speaker 2: It is and it always funds these left leaning organizations
Speaker 2: which seek to undermine American interest across the board, which
Speaker 2: makes it a joke that he got the Freedom Award.
Speaker 2: I mean, of all the people in the world, Joe
Speaker 2: Biden could say that would be an embarrassment. The Presidential
Speaker 2: Medal of Freedom. What has George Sours done for America? Well,
Speaker 2: I know what he's done for Jewish Voice for Peace.
Speaker 2: He's given him more than six hundred thousand dollars six
Speaker 2: hundred fifty thousand dollars since twenty seventeen to fund human
Speaker 2: rights works in work in the Middle East. Jewish Voice
Speaker 2: for a prominent anti Israel group that is responsible for
Speaker 2: organizing illegal protests attacking the Jewish state, Well, they got busted.
Speaker 2: Committed federal loan fraud to obtain a six figure COVID
Speaker 2: relief check. According to an announcement by our own Department
Speaker 2: of Justice. They claim that JVP falsely persuaded for portrayed
Speaker 2: itself as a non political group to obtain over three
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars in a federal paycheck protection funding, and
Speaker 2: they were forced to pay back double the amounts six
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy seven thousand and change to the federal
Speaker 2: go meant to settle the allegations that were made under
Speaker 2: the False Claims Act. Now they've also been suspended from
Speaker 2: college campuses for organizing pro hamas rallies. Lawmakers have called
Speaker 2: on the IRS also revoked JVP's tax exempt status because
Speaker 2: the group has supported illegal encampments at universities and in
Speaker 2: their words as a history of sharing anti Semitic tropes,
Speaker 2: suppressing support for expressing support for violence and terrorism, and
Speaker 2: vil vilifying Zionism and Zionists. According to federal prosecutors, this
Speaker 2: Soros funded organization applied for and received a second drawdown
Speaker 2: loan and forgiveness of the paycheck Protection Program, which was
Speaker 2: not open to groups primarily engaged in political activity. So
Speaker 2: as part of the application process, they claimed they were
Speaker 2: quote not a business concern or entity primarily engaged in
Speaker 2: political or law being activities close quote. However, accurt to
Speaker 2: the Department of Justice, their investigation reveal the JVP was
Speaker 2: actually primarily engaged in political activities. Now the comical response
Speaker 2: from this again George Soro's funded organization, which is anti
Speaker 2: Semitic the group. The group told authorities that its false
Speaker 2: claims were in their word, inadvertent. You got to fill
Speaker 2: out the forms to get the loan. Under the VPP.
Speaker 2: You have to declare that you're not politically involved and
Speaker 2: not primarily engaged in politics. They can't even look at
Speaker 2: themselves and give themselves an honest assessment. That's really all
Speaker 2: that they do inadvertent. What is that I slipped or something? Anyway,
Speaker 2: at least they've been brought to justice. Sate forty six,

Speaker 2: AS eight forty nine at fiftybou KRCD talk station, A
Speaker 2: very happy Friday jam. It's Monday. It's Martin Luther King
Speaker 2: Junior Day, of course, Inauguration Day absolutely and Christopher Smitheman
Speaker 2: smither vent day. Every Monday at seven twenty we start
Speaker 2: a few segments with the former vice mayor of the
Speaker 2: City of Cincinnati. I love talking to him. Money Monday
Speaker 2: with Brian James, always valuable financial information on that as well.
Speaker 2: Let's see here over the weekend. I guess the TikTok
Speaker 2: ban' is supposed to go in effect, and they're all
Speaker 2: backpedaling now. They're all both Republicans and Democrats, and there's
Speaker 2: been some wild speculation that Joe Biden would try to
Speaker 2: extend the right for TikTok to continue operations even though
Speaker 2: they haven't been sold to an American buyer. He may
Speaker 2: recall last year Biden signed into law a bill that
Speaker 2: required TikTok's China based parent, Byte Edance, to divest the
Speaker 2: company by January nineteenth. That's Sunday a question mark on
Speaker 2: whether or not that was going to move through. There
Speaker 2: is a provision in the agreement which allows for an
Speaker 2: extension as long as a viable deal is on the table,
Speaker 2: but there isn't one right now. So if you had
Speaker 2: an active American buyer, you know, negotiating and still haggling
Speaker 2: over the details of some acquisition, then that would be
Speaker 2: of valid grounds for an extension, But right now, no
Speaker 2: one is in sight. I know it was realm arked.
Speaker 2: He rumored Elon Musk was going to buy it, but
Speaker 2: I doubt that, given his current position and activity with
Speaker 2: the Trump administration, the optics on that would would fly
Speaker 2: with anybody. But I find this rather comical because both
Speaker 2: Democrats and Republican in spite of this being a bipartisan
Speaker 2: thing and passed into law, they're both scrambled to try
Speaker 2: to get this thing this block from kicking in. Not everybody,
Speaker 2: but a lot of them. So Democrats had tried to
Speaker 2: pass the legislation on Wednesday that would have extended the deadline,
Speaker 2: but Tom Cotton, Arkansas Republican blocked it, pointing out the
Speaker 2: obvious TikTok is a Chinese Communist Party, communist spy app
Speaker 2: that addicts our kids, harvests their data, targets them with
Speaker 2: harmful and manipulative content, and spreads communist propaganda, summing it
Speaker 2: up quite nicely. Now, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments
Speaker 2: for the legal challenge that TikTok filed trying to stay
Speaker 2: in business and prevent this from happening, this legislation from
Speaker 2: going through, and we haven't seen a decision yet, although
Speaker 2: it's likely. The analyst for the Supreme Court hearing oral
Speaker 2: arguments suggest that it seems likely that Supreme Court will
Speaker 2: allow the law to be upheld. But it just is
Speaker 2: remarkable to me that right now lommakers are both parties
Speaker 2: who overwhelmingly voted for this bill are now trying to
Speaker 2: wiggle out of it. Why because there are one hundred
Speaker 2: and seventy million TikTok users in the United States, all
Speaker 2: of many of whom I would argue our voters. I
Speaker 2: think they're obviously a large percentage of people young people
Speaker 2: on there, but a lot of adults use TikTok as well.
Speaker 2: And when you do something like this, it's, you know,
Speaker 2: it's like getting punished. And some people make a lot
Speaker 2: of money off of TikTok. That's the other thing. These
Speaker 2: so called social media influencers, they generate revenue, and they're
Speaker 2: screaming and yelling that you're taking away our revenue source.
Speaker 2: But what's more important protecting someone's social media platform revenue
Speaker 2: source and allowing the Chinese Communist Party to continue collecting
Speaker 2: all of this data to their own benefit, or forcing
Speaker 2: that those social medias move gravitate over to some other
Speaker 2: social media site and enforce the law and thus protect
Speaker 2: America's society generally speaking. And I found it really kind
Speaker 2: of pathetic that someone would whine about having the rug
Speaker 2: pulled out from on TikTok. You know, just turn over
Speaker 2: to someone, say the East work in the coal mines
Speaker 2: or owned a coal company. You know, our environmental policies
Speaker 2: require us to shut you down or regulate you out
Speaker 2: of existence. What about their jobs? That happens all the
Speaker 2: time with government regulations. They regulate you right out of business,
Speaker 2: and if you don't have a strong enough lobby, well
Speaker 2: sucks to be you. And speaking of energy policy, I
Speaker 2: got a big kick out of this. I don't know
Speaker 2: if it's because the Trump administration coming in or they
Speaker 2: just realized it was not feasible, but California's Air Resources
Speaker 2: Board sent a letter on January fourteenth to the US
Speaker 2: Environmental Protection Agency withdrawing its prior waiver requests that would
Speaker 2: have forced a transition from diesel to zero emission semi
Speaker 2: tractor trailers in the state. The dumbest thing they could
Speaker 2: have ever passed. The tractor trailers are three four times
Speaker 2: more expensive than regular diesel trucks, they go a fraction
Speaker 2: of the distance. It would increase transportation costs dramatically, and
Speaker 2: more fundamentally, they don't have the infrastructure to have to
Speaker 2: provide the charging stations to keep these trucks moving down
Speaker 2: the road. But isn't it interesting that California has pulled
Speaker 2: the plug on its own proposal. California's withdrawing it's pending
Speaker 2: waiver and authorization request that USCPA has not acted on yet.
Speaker 2: But we're disappointed that they were unable to act on
Speaker 2: the request and in time. Withdrawal is an important step
Speaker 2: given the uncertainty presented by the incoming administration that previously
Speaker 2: attack California's programs to protect public health and the climate
Speaker 2: and has said we'll continue to oppose these programs. Well,
Speaker 2: I think it's more the California Trucking Association and the
Speaker 2: reality that this is an absolute impossibility. Eric Sower, CEO
Speaker 2: of California Trucking Association, said, The California Drug Association has
Speaker 2: consistently stated the Advanced Clean Fleet's rule was unachievable. Unachievable.

Speaker 2: of physics don't allow don't stand in the way of
Speaker 2: your cafe standards or whatever they were specifically talking about,
Speaker 2: and the idiot responded by saying, well, why don't why
Speaker 2: don't we repeal the law of physics? Yeah, forcing everybody
Speaker 2: into an electric truck that they can't afford isn't gonna work, because, well,
Speaker 2: where do I plug it in? A fifty six fifty
