Speaker 2: And finally Lewiann Horman Seminar March eighteenth, empower Youamerica dot
Speaker 2: org how to transform our perspective, attitude, and behavior. Apparently
Speaker 2: understanding the science of psychological change can help us transform
Speaker 2: our perspectives, attitude, and behavior, but believes about ourselves in
Speaker 2: the world, apparently stifling our ambition and preventing us from
Speaker 2: realizing our full potential. So ways around that weighs to
Speaker 2: transform your life again and empower you seven or empower
Speaker 2: Youuamerica dot org. Well you heard the top of the
Speaker 2: Our name is Chucky Schumer apparently caved depending on your perspective,
Speaker 2: says he is going to vote to keep the government open.
Speaker 2: He complained that if the you know, this is something
Speaker 2: I guess they were screaming at each other in a
Speaker 2: closed door room the other day, the realities of a
Speaker 2: government shutdown. It does give Donald Trump a tremendous amount
Speaker 2: of leeway to decide what is critical and what is
Speaker 2: not critical in terms of keeping the government going. And
Speaker 2: I was thinking as I was driving in when I
Speaker 2: first heard this, that this this idea that they're going
Speaker 2: to go ahead and vote to keep the government open.
Speaker 2: First off, you know clearly, the Democrats would own the shutdown.
Speaker 2: I know there's always this back and forth on who's
Speaker 2: responsible in prior government shutdowns, during which nobody ever died,
Speaker 2: and I'm sure your lives were not impacted. And of
Speaker 2: course all the federal employees who were not working during
Speaker 2: that period of time got all their pay, so it's
Speaker 2: only a delay in payment. But moving beyond that, they
Speaker 2: would clearly own this. You know, the Republicans in the Senate,
Speaker 2: we're going to vote for it, meaning if the Democrats
Speaker 2: stopped it didn't give them the sixty votes they needed.
Speaker 2: The Democrats would have been responsib before the government shutdown,
Speaker 2: clear convincing, objectively obvious. So for all those years they
Speaker 2: screamed and welled and asked their teeth about the horrors
Speaker 2: of a government shutdown, and always the Republicans fault, this
Speaker 2: would have been owned by them. But moving away from that,
Speaker 2: because Trump would decide what parts of government are open
Speaker 2: or not, that gives them admodus amount of power, doesn't it.
Speaker 2: And they were worried that maybe some of these areas
Speaker 2: of government wouldn't be reopened. Now find that little lacking
Speaker 2: in credibility. But that was some of the concerns that
Speaker 2: were expressed. But I thought one of the areas of
Speaker 2: government that would probably be kept open'd be the Department
Speaker 2: of Governmental Efficiency. And if none of the other employees
Speaker 2: are in these shutdown agencies, wouldn't that give them the freedom,
Speaker 2: like the keys to the door, to go on in
Speaker 2: and start ferreting through stuff and things while everybody else
Speaker 2: was home, and not preventing them from doing that. Just
Speaker 2: the thought. But apparently the concern about this shutdown overwhelmed
Speaker 2: the naysayers, and Trump or A Shimer has capitulated. I
Speaker 2: believe my job to make the best choice for the
Speaker 2: country to minimize the harms of the American people. Therefore,
Speaker 2: I will vote to keep the government open and not
Speaker 2: shut it down. That in a statement from the Senate
Speaker 2: floor yesterday, I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even
Speaker 2: much more power via government shutdown is a far worse option.
Speaker 2: So there's going to be a vote to limit the
Speaker 2: debate on the spending bill, the continuing Resolution scheduled today
Speaker 2: around one point fifteen. Jimmer, speaking with reporters last night,
Speaker 2: we want the attention of the American people not focused
Speaker 2: on different bills that they would bring to the floor
Speaker 2: during the shutdown. We'd rather focus on our message, which
Speaker 2: is beginning to work. And I wrote after that, well
Speaker 2: what message? What's beginning to work? And then he answered
Speaker 2: the question in the next sentence. During the this is
Speaker 2: the reporting for Fox News, but it's quotes from Schumer.
Speaker 2: The Democrats message is that quote they're hurting the middle
Speaker 2: class to give tax breaks for the billionaire's close quote. Yeah,
Speaker 2: how many years we've been hearing that. There's no new message,
Speaker 2: there's no message, just the same old, tired trope. It's
Speaker 2: all this class warfare company the Democrat Party. And if
Speaker 2: he's referring to the Trump tax cuts, which I don't
Speaker 2: think are addressed in the continuing Resolution, those benefit of
Speaker 2: the middle class tremendously. Wait, you see what your tax
Speaker 2: bill is going to be if those things disappear. And
Speaker 2: I'm always like to point out that, you know, if
Speaker 2: you are taking less money from those, for whatever reason,
Speaker 2: evil billionaires, then you're taking less job opportunities. You're you're
Speaker 2: providing less job opportunities for the rest of us. They
Speaker 2: do employ a lot of people. And to what end
Speaker 2: is government using those evil billionaires tax dollars? Well, that's
Speaker 2: what Doge is pointing out to everybody, and maybe the
Speaker 2: concept of this taxation they're all being overly taxed, might
Speaker 2: take a hold and take a grip among the vast
Speaker 2: majority of American people when we find out where our
Speaker 2: tax dollars are going out, and how inefficient government is,
Speaker 2: and how they don't do a damn thing to protect
Speaker 2: the interest of the American people. Social Security is a
Speaker 2: great illustration of it. They keep screaming about, how you
Speaker 2: know the Musk and Trump are going to take Social
Speaker 2: Security away from us time and time again. Every time
Speaker 2: that comes out, I say, no, we're not. We're trying
Speaker 2: to save it. If we can get rid of billions,
Speaker 2: if not trillions, of inefficiency and waste and fraud from
Speaker 2: the program, maybe we can keep it around a couple
Speaker 2: more years. It won't save it from a death spiral
Speaker 2: because it is a Ponzi scheme. They hate hearing that.
Speaker 2: But there's reality, and then there's the Democrats spin on
Speaker 2: reality in an effort to get you all ginned up
Speaker 2: and worry that somehow Trump's going to turn this pigot off.
Speaker 2: He campaigns said he wouldn't touch it. He's had to
Speaker 2: come out multiple times staying I'm not going to touch
Speaker 2: Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. I wish you wouldn't say that.
Speaker 2: I wish he was frank with the American people and
Speaker 2: say we need to do something or it's not going
Speaker 2: to be there anymore. Well, when Shimmer was asked what
Speaker 2: changed between Wednesday and Thursday to change his mind on this,
Speaker 2: here's what he had to say. As of yesterday. This again,
Speaker 2: this is yesterday after late yesterday afternoon. As of yesterday Wednesday,
Speaker 2: there were not enough votes to pass it. Well, I
Speaker 2: guess now there are since he changed his mind. Shimmer said,
Speaker 2: I thought I would let people know that, but there
Speaker 2: were a bunch of undecided votes and members and as
Speaker 2: members studied it and look at it, each is making
Speaker 2: their own decision. On Wednesday, however, he claims that his
Speaker 2: caucus was unified and that they would vote know for
Speaker 2: the continuing Resolution. So what at what point would they
Speaker 2: become undecided? There were a bunch of undecided votes. That
Speaker 2: means they were not you fight in their position. Undecided
Speaker 2: means I haven't made my mind up. I am not
Speaker 2: on board with voting no on this. So he's talking
Speaker 2: out of both sides of his mouth or out of
Speaker 2: his mouth and his sphincter simultaneously. I love this quote
Speaker 2: by Fetterman, because you know, Fetterman says some goofy things sometimes,
Speaker 2: but he at least was rational in his perception of
Speaker 2: this Continuing Resolution. Fetterman, I've seen the videos that they're
Speaker 2: going to shut it down. I'm like, that's spicy, spicy.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know if they'll do it
Speaker 2: or not. Spicy is it also extra crispy? So if
Speaker 2: the spending bill isn't passed by eleven fifty nine tonight,
Speaker 2: the government officially enters a shutdown twelve oh one tomorrow morning.
Speaker 2: So I going back to Congressman Thomas Massey. It's benefited
Speaker 2: tremendously by Donald Trump going after him about voting no
Speaker 2: on the CR. He was on the program earlier this week.
Speaker 2: I strongly encourage you to listen to what he had
Speaker 2: and his explanation for why he voted no. It makes
Speaker 2: crystal clear sense. But he did predict this would happen.
Speaker 2: He said, it's a foregone conclusion the Senate will vote
Speaker 2: for the Continuing Resolution in spite of what Chuckie Schimmer
Speaker 2: was saying like five minutes ago, which obviously he's changed
Speaker 2: his tune. Thomas Massey predicted it and it coming true.
Speaker 2: Yet again, his predictions are regularly accurate. Five sixteen. You
Speaker 2: feel free to get you a call. We'll move into
Speaker 2: other areas, like, for example, how much funny Massy's taken
Speaker 2: in since the Donald Trump criticisms of him. We've got
Speaker 2: a few words to speak about coming up next, and
Speaker 2: I'll be right.
Speaker 5: Back fifty five KRC cow rightheard radio musical I have
Speaker 5: twenty on a Friday in a very happy one to you.
Speaker 2: Trump's message about congressoon Massey sure helped out Thomas Massey.
Speaker 6: Let me.
Speaker 7: Night.
Speaker 2: We all talk about it here in the morning show.
Speaker 2: You probably read it for yourself. Donald Trump taking the
Speaker 2: swing at Massy in the truth social media post because
Speaker 2: Massey said he was going to vote knowing the continuing resolution,
Speaker 2: he followed through with that, which unleashed some more Trump
Speaker 2: tie raids against Congressome Massey. He asked, he called for
Speaker 2: my friends in the Commonwealth to primary Congressom Massey, which
Speaker 2: has happened before. It didn't work, but anyway, thanks to
Speaker 2: Donald Trump targeting Congressome Massy, Thomas Massey has been the
Speaker 2: beneficiary of a rather large infusion of campaign donations. I
Speaker 2: think it was yesterday, he announced, in less than three days,
Speaker 2: I've received two hundred and sixty one thousand dollars through
Speaker 2: three thousand, two hundred and three individual donations without sending
Speaker 2: an email, a text, or a phone call. It's a
Speaker 2: fundraising record for me, and it's boosted my current cash
Speaker 2: on hand north of one point one million dollars. He
Speaker 2: tweeted on Wednesday that he had already received two hundred
Speaker 2: and five thousand dollars, and then sent out a tweet,
Speaker 2: I've received an amazing outpouring of support since I was
Speaker 2: attacked for voting no on the Biden money level CR.
Speaker 2: In fact, we just set two hundred five thousand from
Speaker 2: twenty five hundred grassroots donors. Can you help me send
Speaker 2: a huge huges in quote huge message by reaching two
Speaker 2: undred and fifty thousand dollars before forty eight hour mark.
Speaker 2: That worked. That worked, So I'm sure he'll take more
Speaker 2: if you want to donate more now. Trump had attacked
Speaker 2: Massy ahead of the lawmaker ahead of the Massy's GOP
Speaker 2: primary back in twenty twenty. Decisive victory for Congressman Massy
Speaker 2: in Kentucky's fourth eighty one percent of the vote. My
Speaker 2: friends in Kentucky loved Congressman Massy, and then Trump actually
Speaker 2: endorsed Massey before the twenty twenty two primary. Trumps all
Speaker 2: over the board on this one. And Massey got a
Speaker 2: bit over seventy five percent of the vote in the
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two Republican primary with three other candidates dividing
Speaker 2: the balance of the vote, and Massey earned es shy
Speaker 2: of seventy six percent in the twenty twenty four primary.
Speaker 2: Blessed the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Oh. In the Power You
Speaker 2: Summoner last night on property taxes, I thought this was
Speaker 2: rather interesting the timing on it. Fox News reporting there
Speaker 2: are several states that are pushing to abolish property tax.
Speaker 2: Representative Russ diamond of he's a Republican out of Lebanon, Pennsylvania,
Speaker 2: and he makes a great point we shouldn't have to
Speaker 2: pay rent to the government once we own our homes.
Speaker 2: He's putting forth a resolution House Built nine hundred, a
Speaker 2: draft constitutional amendment that he hopes we'll go to the
Speaker 2: voters on election day this fall out. A typical piece
Speaker 2: of legislation require and gubernatorial approval. This means the people
Speaker 2: of the citizens of the state of Pennsylvania may decide
Speaker 2: to well eradicate property tax. He said. Property taxes are
Speaker 2: an issue that is not exactly partisan because in some
Speaker 2: areas it's more of a big deal than others. He said,
Speaker 2: for me, the big deal is that I want people
Speaker 2: to own their own homes and not have to rent
Speaker 2: from the government all across Pennsylvania.
Speaker 8: Hmm.
Speaker 2: And that's a point That's been made to me many
Speaker 2: times over the years. I'll get you know emails and
Speaker 2: tweets when I mentioned property taxes. You know, you never
Speaker 2: own your home and I've mentioned you know. Oh, usually
Speaker 2: predicated by the fact I'll say that, you know, we
Speaker 2: paid off our home, and it always makes me feel
Speaker 2: like uplifted. I don't have a debt over my head,
Speaker 2: and I hate debt, always have. I just it's like
Speaker 2: a sort of damicle is over my head. At least
Speaker 2: that's my personal psychological reaction to owing someone money, and
Speaker 2: a mortgage is owing someone money. So we took extra
Speaker 2: steps and did some belt tightening over the years and
Speaker 2: made some extra payments on our mortgage to get rid
Speaker 2: of it. And I felt relieved and it's usually the
Speaker 2: follow up, well, you're not relieved the property taxes. You
Speaker 2: got to keep paying and paying and paying and paying.
Speaker 2: And I know property taxes are a huge burden for
Speaker 2: the senior folks out there, which was the subject matter
Speaker 2: of my conversation with Bill Blessing and his efforts to
Speaker 2: try to bring some relief to the Ohio taxpayers along
Speaker 2: all the lines that he talked about yesterday and at
Speaker 2: the Empower You summinar last night, not real thrilled to
Speaker 2: this idea of giving every school to a child a
Speaker 2: free lunch. A couple of emails Rhino was mentioned, So
Speaker 2: you draw your own conclusions on that. But he's not
Speaker 2: the only state there, Pennsylvania. We got Florida. Governor of
Speaker 2: sant has proposed a similar question in the state last
Speaker 2: week asked is the property yours or are you just
Speaker 2: renting from the government. He said, you buy a home,
Speaker 2: payoff a mortgage, and yet you still have to write
Speaker 2: a check to the government every year just to live
Speaker 2: on your property. Taxpayers need relief, and he's adding that
Speaker 2: penning legislation seeking protections from homeowners will have his support.
Speaker 2: So New Jersey also taking some steps to offer some
Speaker 2: property tax relief. So it's a growing phenomenon and it
Speaker 2: really makes sense, doesn't it. Five twenty five ifty five
Speaker 2: KRC detalk station, local stories or phone calls. I'll go
Speaker 2: either way. It's all always up to you. Five three
Speaker 2: seven four nine fifty five hundred eight hundred eight two
Speaker 2: three talk will be right.
Speaker 5: Back, fifty five KRC.
Speaker 1: It's the marketers report.
Speaker 2: Keep johnn Weather quolcas. It's going to be a mostly
Speaker 2: sunny day today, could hit eighty degrees, but they say
Speaker 2: there's probably gonna be a high in the upper seventies
Speaker 2: overnight down to forty nine. Storms show up tomorrow morning
Speaker 2: around six, they're predicting, and there'll be morning rain with
Speaker 2: scattered storms, maybe a dry stretch in the middle there.
Speaker 2: For the Saint Patrick's Day parade, seventy one to high
Speaker 2: rain shows up late afternoon, severe weather one two inches
Speaker 2: of rain, gusty wins up the forty miles per hour,
Speaker 2: overnight low up fifty four and rain heads out in
Speaker 2: the morning. On Sunday, clear sky. These skies will clear
Speaker 2: up and it'll be a high of fifty eight, so
Speaker 2: a little bit cool with right now fifty degrees fifty
Speaker 2: five per CD talks day it's five twenty nine, couple
Speaker 2: to a five thirty and yes, Eric, I know in
Speaker 2: spite of the fact that I loved my friends in
Speaker 2: the Commonwealth, and they brought us Congressman Thomas Massey and
Speaker 2: Senator Ran Paul. They did elect Mitch McConnell for four
Speaker 2: decades and stopped screaming at me. It's in all caps
Speaker 2: and filled with expletives too. Eric's passionate about that one.
Speaker 2: You cracked me up, Eric, he really do anyhow? Five
Speaker 2: on three seven fifty five hundred, eight hundred two three
Speaker 2: talk Otherwise, diving into a local story. His man's been
Speaker 2: arrested after court documents claim he tried to carry out
Speaker 2: a murder for higher plot. His name Dominic Grubb charged
Speaker 2: with conspiracy to commit murder corner of the Butler County
Speaker 2: Court records FOX nineteen for reporting and thank you. Crime
Speaker 2: started Deceummer twenty fourth and twenty twenty four continued through
Speaker 2: January third. Grub, according to the records, approached and solicited
Speaker 2: what is described as a confidential informant to murder a
Speaker 2: woman offered. The offered the informant an initial one hundredment
Speaker 2: that was to be placed in the informant's jail commissary account,
Speaker 2: gave the informants the intended victims address, vehicle information, and
Speaker 2: details about her family, which included her child's bus stop location.
Speaker 2: Told the informant he didn't care if the child was
Speaker 2: also killed.
Speaker 5: Do what the heppen is.
Speaker 2: Apparently he also involved his mom, telling her on the
Speaker 2: phone that she needed to deposit the one hundred dollars
Speaker 2: through the informants jail commissary account, which she did. Later,
Speaker 2: Grub met with the informant and offered him an additional
Speaker 2: twenty five hundred dollars for the murder. If the informant
Speaker 2: would not carry out the murder, Grubs said he would
Speaker 2: find somebody else to do it. I'm asking you to
Speaker 2: kill a expletive for me. Can you ease your own
Speaker 2: imagine on which explet have we use? In the sentence,
Speaker 2: Grub offered a second one hundred dollars payment to show
Speaker 2: the informant he was serious about giving the intended Having
Speaker 2: the intented victim killed. Doesn't say whether the informant or
Speaker 2: whether the the alleged assassin turned him in or not.
Speaker 2: I presume so if someone offered you twenty five hundred
Speaker 2: dollars to kill someone? Would you be willing to risk
Speaker 2: perhaps the electric chair or the death penalty or at
Speaker 2: least life imprisonment for premeditated murder for twenty five hundred dollars? No,
Speaker 2: thank you, Dad, God bless you.
Speaker 9: Dad.
Speaker 2: Think about you every day. Before I move on, let's
Speaker 2: see what Pete's got this morning. Pete, welcome to the
Speaker 2: Morning Show and a happy Friday.
Speaker 6: Thanks, Brian. A couple things about the tax on.
Speaker 7: Doing away with the property tax in these states sounds good.
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm all for not having to pay property tax,
Speaker 7: but all the disnees services that are currently provided by that,
Speaker 7: I wonder where they're gonna get the money. And then
Speaker 7: the other thing, Trump is talking about doing away with
Speaker 7: the irs and doing the external with all tariffs and
Speaker 7: if which that sounds good too, but if he manages
Speaker 7: to get that implemented, basically we'd be paying tariffs on
Speaker 7: every single thing imported from.
Speaker 2: That point one.
Speaker 6: And well, sax.
Speaker 2: It's exactly. It's like a national sales tax the goods
Speaker 2: and services you buy and up paying for it. So
Speaker 2: and that's the honest reaction, you know, Like it's like
Speaker 2: getting rid of income tax. We got rid of income
Speaker 2: tax wherever the money come from, well maybe a national
Speaker 2: sales tax. So literally everyone then would participate in funding
Speaker 2: the government, and they could express outrage when they go
Speaker 2: to the store and buy something that now costs extra
Speaker 2: because of the national sales tax as opposed to income tax,
Speaker 2: which only hits a smaller percentage of the American population.
Speaker 2: You know, those that work and those that make over
Speaker 2: a certain amount of money, they're the ones that fund
Speaker 2: most of the government. These evil billionaires pay the giant,
Speaker 2: giant chunk of the income tax in this country. It's
Speaker 2: much bigger, and they fund the govern to a much
Speaker 2: greater extent than most of the people in the United States.
Speaker 2: And there's a certain segment, the bottom one third of
Speaker 2: the roung doesn't really pay anything at all because they're
Speaker 2: not subject to income tax because of their lower wages.
Speaker 2: You may say that be unfair to them, but they
Speaker 2: probably consume a lot less because they have fewer dollars
Speaker 2: to spend. It's very complicated, and I'm not saying I
Speaker 2: got any as solutions to it, but you know, it
Speaker 2: is one answer to the complicated mess. Independence man facing
Speaker 2: charges after alleged assault during a road rage incident happened
Speaker 2: on Tuesday this week. Nineteen year old William stuff have
Speaker 2: been charged with criminal mischief, assault and wanton endangerment to
Speaker 2: the victim. He was driving a car into the intersection
Speaker 2: of Tailormill Road and Handspike when he passed the black
Speaker 2: BMW because it was going too slow. He said, they
Speaker 2: jerked over real fast and pushed me off the road
Speaker 2: and I got back on the road and saw the
Speaker 2: driver laughing as he sped off. Said it was unable
Speaker 2: to get the license plate because his tire was shredded
Speaker 2: and the part of the wheel came off him. He
Speaker 2: was hitting the neck cheek. I'm sorry, then, he said,
Speaker 2: as I pulled over to change the tire, the BMW
Speaker 2: came back and I asked for them for their insurance information,
Speaker 2: and they just started swinging. He said he was hitting
Speaker 2: the neck, chest and back and shoulder by this Stover
Speaker 2: kid and his passenger. He was bruised and cut under
Speaker 2: his right eye. Fox News interviewed him and thank you
Speaker 2: for the reporting. Fox News. Thank you, Joe. Unclear if
Speaker 2: the passenger William Stover's car was going to be charged.
Speaker 2: Stofer back in court March nineteenth, just walk away five
Speaker 2: thirty five Sound Advice fifty five cares to the detox
Speaker 2: station stack a stupid coming up. Hope you can stick.
Speaker 5: Around fifty five KRC.
Speaker 2: Of course we can. Five thirty nine On a Friday,
Speaker 2: my friend Jeffrey always chiming in in advance, sitting in
Speaker 2: anticipation with the bass riff, just like Joe Jucker. Whatever
Speaker 2: happened to Chuck Ingram kidnapped by Heather and Detroit John
Speaker 2: the Fisherman Stack, Oh stupid channeling Joe's just walk away
Speaker 2: sound by. We've got a woman who allegedly hit her
Speaker 2: boyfriend with a glass salsage jar because she saw him
Speaker 2: at a bar with another woman. Please, said Jessica Holly
Speaker 2: Lou John. Charged with an aggravated assault with a deadly
Speaker 2: weapon a salsagejar. It must have been full Joe. According
Speaker 2: to the restaurant victims at a restaurant with another woman Monday,
Speaker 2: when someone took a picture of them and sent it
Speaker 2: to Jessica Holly Lou John. A short time later, she
Speaker 2: showed up at the bar and started swiping food and
Speaker 2: drinks off the table. She then picked up a glass
Speaker 2: salsagejar and threw it at her boyfriend hitting behind the ear.
Speaker 2: Witness said the disturbance continued outside the restaurant. Well, of
Speaker 2: course it did, manager. Another witness told police that the
Speaker 2: couple argued outside and Halli lu John attempted to run
Speaker 2: over the victim with her vehicle. Okay, that's where the
Speaker 2: aggravated thissul comes from. Manager said. It appears she deliberately
Speaker 2: swerved her vehicle in the direction of the victim. Police
Speaker 2: got there, they met with a victim who said, quote
Speaker 2: she hit the hell out of me close. Quote. While
Speaker 2: officers were speaking with the victim of the scene, Holly
Speaker 2: Lujanan called the victim multiple times and reportedly said, quote,
Speaker 2: so you're really upset to put You're really you're really
Speaker 2: upset to put me in jail. I didn't mean to

Speaker 2: she was upset and did not mean to cause harm.
Speaker 2: Raw residents of Allentown, Pennsylvania, described as having a bit
Speaker 2: of excitement as a series of explosions shook the small city.
Speaker 2: Police advised them not to be concerned. As they were
Speaker 2: just disposing of a dead man's pipe bombs Joe. Lieutenant
Speaker 2: Chad Eggy said the loud boon was from the Allentown
Speaker 2: Bob Squak, Kentucky in emergency disposal operations on an improvised
Speaker 2: explosive devices. After one of the city's residents passed away,
Speaker 2: his friend was gathering items from his home when he
Speaker 2: stumbled across the homemade ordinance. He called a friend in
Speaker 2: the police department, who then contacted the FBI. According to
Speaker 2: the lieutenant, there was no criminal intent. They didn't build them.
Speaker 2: They just found these devices and they reached out to
Speaker 2: somebody that they knew that worked with on these types
Speaker 2: of issues, and they contacted the FBI, which got us
Speaker 2: involved to take care of the devices. No one has
Speaker 2: any idea why the dead guy had them in the
Speaker 2: first place. H Oh must be Friday naked man as tradition.

Speaker 2: state police. Dover Police took you into custody on separate

Speaker 2: of a Dave Hatter. Yet another FBI advisory about ransomware.
Speaker 2: Great any gotta know it. You'll keep you out of trouble.
Speaker 2: Dave Hatter, will let us see you here to the
Speaker 2: stack of stupid with more naked people for a Friday
Speaker 2: Cumberland County, penn Indeed, Cumerlin County, Pennsylvania. He got a
Speaker 2: guy facing multiple charges after he stripped naked and refused
Speaker 2: to pay his bill at the Primani Brothers in Cumberland County.
Speaker 2: I love Permeddi Brothers sandwiches. This thing, Why are you
Speaker 2: doing that?
Speaker 6: This?
Speaker 2: Accorded to lower Allen Township Police, James Gladwin fifty two,
Speaker 2: charged with disarming a police, disarming a police, resisting arrest,
Speaker 2: public drunkenness, disorderly conduct, and theft of services. According to police,
Speaker 2: galland strip naked after refusing refusing to pay his fifty
Speaker 2: two cent bill at the Primani Brothers in Capital City
Speaker 2: or in the Capitol City Mall. Officers located Gladwyn on
Speaker 2: the scene, where he continued his refusal and began yelling
Speaker 2: obscenities at the restaurant staff. Why are you doing that?
Speaker 2: Offices on the scene offered to place an uber for Gladwin,
Speaker 2: but he again refused and attempted to grab an officer's taser,
Speaker 2: so he was taken to the ground and arrested right
Speaker 2: awaiting a preliminary hearing. Now they're offering him an uber.
Speaker 2: He stripped naked and refused to pay his bill. I
Speaker 2: was awfully nice of the police officers there. Clearly the
Speaker 2: guy's an idiot, had no explanation for getting naked. That's
Speaker 2: the only troubling thing about these stories is sometimes they
Speaker 2: just really don't provide any explanation whatsoever, except the fact
Speaker 2: that he was drunk. But you know, I'll be the
Speaker 2: first person to admit there have been times when I
Speaker 2: have over indulged on alcohol and I've never thought once
Speaker 2: it'd be a good idea to strip naked. What Morgantown,
Speaker 2: West Virginia man arrested after police said he was following
Speaker 2: women around a Mongolia County apartment complex naked. Why are
Speaker 2: you doing that? Tap Adsoi Tafa d z Wa first
Speaker 2: name to Fadsoa Cheppoto, twenty five years old. Yeah, he's Irish, right, Joe.
Speaker 2: It's clearly irish to Fadzwa, Mick Chippoto how's that, oh,
Speaker 2: Chipot Hotel? Anyway, he's twenty five, reportedly walking around the
Speaker 2: Mountain Valley apartment complex completely nude on multiple occasions, according
Speaker 2: to West Virginia State Police. One woman told police that
Speaker 2: when she walked around this guy, he followed her to
Speaker 2: her apartment, and after going into an apartment, she looked
Speaker 2: outside and saw him standing by her front door. That's creepy.
Speaker 2: The same woman saw him again on Wednesday, approximately two
Speaker 2: thirty in the afternoon, near her vehicle, completely naked with
Speaker 2: something in his left hand. What do you think it was?
Speaker 2: Just then at eight thirty am, another woman saw him
Speaker 2: walking down a set of steps toward her vehicle, again
Speaker 2: completely naked. All this time he had a phone in
Speaker 2: his hand. Joe chartered two counts of indissent exposure currently
Speaker 2: in the North Central Regional Jail. Bond sat at ten
Speaker 2: thousand dollars. I don't know what planet I'm on and
Speaker 2: it was our courtroom appearance during the trial of former
Speaker 2: Columbian President of Arro Ribe, prosecutor allegedly accidentally rather played
Speaker 2: a video of a naked woman unrelated to the case,
Speaker 2: resulting in laughter in the room. It was all captured
Speaker 2: on camera, a prosecutor, Marlene or Julia, initially played the
Speaker 2: video of a dwarf person dancing to music while carrying
Speaker 2: a liquor can. I'm having a hard time processing that one.
Speaker 2: Shortly after an AI enhanced photo. Shortly after an artificial
Speaker 2: intelligence enhanced video of a nude woman was shown on
Speaker 2: the screen. Realizing a mistake, the prosecutor promptly stopped the
Speaker 2: video at apology guys for accidentally selecting a different clip rather
Speaker 2: than playing from a series of recorded phone calls related
Speaker 2: to the case. You're honor, my apologies. We wanted to
Speaker 2: show everything that Diego Cadena had sent, but we didn't
Speaker 2: foresee that this would happen. We have fifty seven files
Speaker 2: consisting of videos and audio recordings. According to the colleague
Speaker 2: of mister mss Or o' julia, she struggled to remain
Speaker 2: calm as the court and the victim's attorneys started laughing.
Speaker 2: She said, my apologies, your honor, but well it's just that,
Speaker 2: and then remain stoneface. Although the the defendant remained stone face.
Speaker 2: I guess he's the one that had the dwarf video
Speaker 2: in the nude video on his phone. Anyway, he remained
Speaker 2: stone face to the entire thing, the entire incident. He's
Speaker 2: been charged with witness tampering and bribery. Seventy one year
Speaker 2: old leader also been accused of offering cash or other benefits
Speaker 2: to witnesses to undermine a police of political rival, digging
Speaker 2: into former president's family ties to paramilitary groups. He's denied
Speaker 2: all charges for the record. Five fifty five coming up
Speaker 2: with five fifty six. Stick around more to talk about
Speaker 2: between six five and six thirty when we kick it
Speaker 2: in with Dave Hatter and Tech Friday. I'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Covering Trump's first one hundred days.
Speaker 11: Every day America's deadline is over fifty five krs day.
Speaker 2: Talk station call the pros and zeros talk station Hacky
Speaker 2: for Friday biting to stick around all morning. Quite a
Speaker 2: few guests lined up, thanks for Just Tractor Executive producer
Speaker 2: Tech Friday with Dave Hatter coming up, FBI advisory on
Speaker 2: dangerous ransomware. Artificial intelligence is now scanning your photos what
Speaker 2: is described as sensitive content and a hack via Bluetooth.
Speaker 2: Dave Williams Taxpayer Protection Line. Fast forward one hour seven
Speaker 2: oh five with Dave, we'll get his thoughts on Trump's
Speaker 2: address to Congress and a shout out to Doge. Check
Speaker 2: out the post Office. There's apparently seven billion dollars annually
Speaker 2: that could be saved seven billion with a bee every year. Uh,
Speaker 2: some future day. How artificial intelligence is going to change everything?
Speaker 2: The book by Mark Beckman, who's our guests at seven
Speaker 2: point thirty eight oh five with John Gordon, who's a
Speaker 2: political analyst and hosts of the Truth with John Gordon,
Speaker 2: a variety of topics talk about with John first time
Speaker 2: on the program, and then an empower use seminar with
Speaker 2: Lunn Horobin who joined the program at eight thirty to
Speaker 2: March eighteenth seminar, How to Transform our prospective Attitude and
Speaker 2: Behavior five three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight
Speaker 2: hundred eight two three Talk Time five fifty on AT
Speaker 2: and T phones. No need to break it down too much,
Speaker 2: but big news this morning is yesterday evening's Chuck Schumer
Speaker 2: capitulation saying he's now going to vote to keep the
Speaker 2: government open. They had no They back into a corner
Speaker 2: quite literally. And I know, based upon the explanation provided
Speaker 2: by Congress from MASSI, this continuing Resolution is not really
Speaker 2: a good thing because it just keeps funding at the
Speaker 2: same level it was funded under the Biden administration. So
Speaker 2: we need to have cuts in government. We're in that
Speaker 2: de spiral. And again our national interest payments are now
Speaker 2: up to like one trillion dollars, and the more we
Speaker 2: have to pay an interest, the less goes to any
Speaker 2: other program you can think of. But it looks like
Speaker 2: they're going to vote and to pass the continuing resolutions
Speaker 2: of massive infighting. I understood that they were actually screaming
Speaker 2: at each other in a behind the door, closed door
Speaker 2: meeting among the senators the other day. But their problem
Speaker 2: they were concerned, I guess, struggling to fight back a
Speaker 2: sneeze here. I guess they were worried that if you
Speaker 2: close the doors of government and leave only essential services open,
Speaker 2: which Donald Trump gets to decide what's essential and what's not,
Speaker 2: they might run amok in the absence of all the
Speaker 2: federal employees would be shut out of their offices. Anyhow,
Speaker 2: big development on that, So kind of continuing the stack
Speaker 2: is stupid. But I appreciate the work that Doge is
Speaker 2: doing personally because they are it's very revealing, and they
Speaker 2: this is where the Democrats have find themselves in a
Speaker 2: big problem because they are forced to defend the indefensible.
Speaker 2: As I've regularly characterized it. I mean, they scream at
Speaker 2: Elon Musk and they call them the devil and three
Speaker 2: forms of evil. They're attacking Tesla dealerships and what has
Speaker 2: been a well organized campaign. But why are they attacking him?
Speaker 2: All the illustrations of fraud, waste, and abuse that he's uncovered,
Speaker 2: they're defending that, and out there, someone right now is going, yeah,
Speaker 2: they are defending that. It's because it's been a main
Speaker 2: source of income funding left winging organizations. Now and unknown
Speaker 2: to the American taxpayer, their funding sources are drying up,
Speaker 2: which good anyway. Over a two day period, According to
Speaker 2: Department of Government Efficiency in a release yesterday, over two
Speaker 2: day period, two hundred and thirty nine were described as
Speaker 2: wasteful contracts with the ceiling value of one point seven
Speaker 2: billion dollars have been terminated, including a grant intended to
Speaker 2: teach transgender and queer urban farmers about quote food justice
Speaker 2: close quote As you sit there and hear that, you
Speaker 2: have any concept of what that might mean. First off,
Speaker 2: I don't know how big specifically that monetary grant is,
Speaker 2: but how many transgender and queer urban farmers do you
Speaker 2: think exist in this country? Three is I'm making this
Speaker 2: stuff up. Apparently, the elimination of these contracts represents the
Speaker 2: savings of four hundred million dollars to the American taxpayer.
Speaker 2: Corn of the Doge tweet. Among them included eight point
Speaker 2: five million dollars consulting contract for quote, fiscal stewarts. Listen,
Speaker 2: listen to this psychobabble again. If you have any idea
Speaker 2: what this means, please let me know. Fiscal stewardship to
Speaker 2: improve management and program operations in order to drive innovation
Speaker 2: and improve efficiency and effectiveness of business services, rethink, realign
Speaker 2: and reskill the workforce, and enhance program delivery through a
Speaker 2: number of transform transformational initiatives. Close quote. They threw eight
Speaker 2: point five million dollars at that psychobabble. Nonsense, And I'm
Speaker 2: sure someone's probably just sitting at home through all this
Speaker 2: period of time where all these grants are flowing out,
Speaker 2: just making stuff up.
Speaker 9: I got it. I got it.
Speaker 2: A grant for transgender and queer urban farmers for food justice.
Speaker 2: Oh what does food justice mean?
Speaker 12: Oh?
Speaker 2: Shut up? It sounds good, doesn't it. It sounds woke.
Speaker 2: We'll get a grant don't stand in my Way. Early
Speaker 2: in the week, dough announced National Institutes for Health canceled
Speaker 2: multiple federal grants relating to trans and sexual identity, including
Speaker 2: almost seven hundred thous dollars for studying quote cannabis use
Speaker 2: among sexual minority gender diverse individuals, six hundred and twenty
Speaker 2: thousand dollars for quote an LGB plus What happened to
Speaker 2: q an LGB plus Inclusive team pregnancy prevention program for
Speaker 2: transgender boys. I mentioned that one earlier in the week,
Speaker 2: And how is it that you need a pregnancy program?
Speaker 2: A pregnancy program is a pregnancy program if you're gonna
Speaker 2: have sex h and you're gonna get pregnant, meaning you,
Speaker 2: of course are a double X chromosome and a woman
Speaker 2: that has the appropriate equipment to get pregnant and just
Speaker 2: date the baby. You're in the same group of people.
Speaker 2: You're if you're a transgender boy. It's the same thing.
Speaker 2: It's the same learning and education materials. One other contract
Speaker 2: included tw hundred and twenty five thousand dollars in federal
Speaker 2: funds for the University of Colorado to study quote the
Speaker 2: effects of hormones on headaches in transmasculine adolescens. Close quote.
Speaker 2: That's one of those mangalaike experiments. We got young people
Speaker 2: and they're developing, and we're going to interfere with their
Speaker 2: hormone production because somebody told them they were actually a
Speaker 2: girl and not a boy. This past Wednesday, Agricultural Secretary
Speaker 2: Brook Rollins pointed out that three hundred and seventy nine
Speaker 2: thousand US Department of Agriculture grant in the San Francisco
Speaker 2: Bay Area to educate queer, trans and bipoc urban farmers.
Speaker 2: I think this goes back to the one I just
Speaker 2: mentioned earlier and consumers about food justice and values aligned markets. Again,
Speaker 2: I don't even know what this stuff means, but you're
Speaker 2: working for it. According to Brook Rollins, the Agriculture Secretary,
Speaker 2: by stopping this wasteful spending here at USDA, we are
Speaker 2: ending identity politics and we are refocusing our agency on
Speaker 2: its core mission of supporting American farming, ranching, and forestry.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, all five urban farmers that they
Speaker 2: found that are transgender. Whatever their bubblegut burst, let's se
Speaker 2: what Steve's got this morning. Steve, thanks for calling the
Speaker 2: Morning Show. Happy Friday to you.
Speaker 11: Oh you're always in a bad mood on Friday.
Speaker 6: I'll try not to. I'll try not.
Speaker 11: To get you any more angry. Here a couple of comments,
Speaker 11: none of them related, of course, but you mentioned the
Speaker 11: government spending, and it's really sad that nobody cared about
Speaker 11: this for decades, that so much of this could have
Speaker 11: been just somebody, you know. It's like, this is this
Speaker 11: is what we are elected to take care of the
Speaker 11: people's money. Let's be real careful with it. And I can't.
Speaker 11: I just when you mentioned the you know, the cost
Speaker 11: of the grant for whatever transgender urban or whatever it was,
Speaker 11: what would one of their scarecrows look like? I mean,
Speaker 11: how would they dress it, by the way, but forget
Speaker 11: about that. I mean, would it be a man scarecrow
Speaker 11: dressed as a woman. But it doesn't matter. But remember
Speaker 11: that the Chinese spy balloon that the Biden administration leent
Speaker 11: just for days across the United States. And then after
Speaker 11: that they started launching these, you know, from fighter jets.
Speaker 11: They were shooting these sidewinder missiles at like little kids
Speaker 11: party balloons that got away from a birthday party. And
Speaker 11: these were multi million dollar missiles they were using to
Speaker 11: and they did like three of these after the fact.
Speaker 11: So don't don't shoot down the spy balloon, but shoot
Speaker 11: down the little you know, weather balloons and all the
Speaker 11: you know, the little ba in your backyard scientists sending
Speaker 11: up whatever. It's just amazing how they throw money away.
Speaker 11: That that's my one comment. My second comment. And I
Speaker 11: live in Independence, Kentucky, so Thomas Massey is my representative.
Speaker 11: I have voted for him many times. I'm in and
Speaker 11: I'll continue and I'm very happy with them. But sometimes
Speaker 11: you got to play the game. In other words, I'm
Speaker 11: gonna lump together people that don't seem to be related.
Speaker 11: But you got Ran Paul, you got Thomas Massey, you
Speaker 11: got Donald Trump, you got AOC. What are they all? Well,
Speaker 11: they're all outsiders, but they're really not. They were outsiders.
Speaker 11: But once you've held that office and you keep getting
Speaker 11: elected and re elected, you're really not an outsider anymore.
Speaker 11: And Massey, you got to play the game a little bit.
Speaker 11: And I know things worked out and he said they would,
Speaker 11: and things always worked out. But sometimes it's like you
Speaker 11: are now like Donald Trump, you're a politician. Now I
Speaker 11: don't care, you know, I don't care that you are
Speaker 11: a business and massy too. You know, you're a politician too.
Speaker 11: You know, you're you're you know whatever their dart is
Speaker 11: rubbing off on you, so you're you're Even though you're
Speaker 11: not one hundred percent born of them, you kind of
Speaker 11: are one of them.
Speaker 2: I don't know that I can agree with you on
Speaker 2: that necessarily because Mancy is a man of principle. He
Speaker 2: has constitutionally based principles and he follows them and he
Speaker 2: doesn't waver from them, unlike other politicians who do waiver
Speaker 2: from those policies and do capitulate and do overspend and
Speaker 2: do protect their pet turf. That will be more along
Speaker 2: the political realm that you're talking about, But there are
Speaker 2: standouts that fly in the face of that, and they're
Speaker 2: consistent with it. They're few and far between, but at
Speaker 2: least they're people of principle. AOC is a woman of principle.
Speaker 2: I guess I just think her principles are batcrap insane,
Speaker 2: but she stands by them, you know, And I guess
Speaker 2: maybe you've got to give her credit for it on
Speaker 2: some level. But I don't think this cr You make
Speaker 2: it sound like a good thing. I don't think it's
Speaker 2: a good idea for what Massy explained. It keeps us
Speaker 2: at these outrageous spending levels. It increases our defense spending.
Speaker 2: We've already got eight and fifty billion dollars annually going
Speaker 2: to it. It just perpetuates the industrial machine complex and
Speaker 2: protects a lot of unnecessary military projects that we could
Speaker 2: cut out and wouldn't have to fund and therefore wouldn't
Speaker 2: have to increase the military's budget. And we're broke.
Speaker 11: Well, you know, yeah, but occasionally you have to say
Speaker 11: I agree with ninety five percent of what this person's doing.
Speaker 11: Donald Trump, well, Elon Musk. They both want this, They
Speaker 11: want things. You know, they're going in a certain direction.
Speaker 11: This is something they.
Speaker 2: Vast and that direction is to maintain funding levels and
Speaker 2: spending levels from the Biden days, which are sinking us
Speaker 2: or which are furthering our problem. That's the point here.
Speaker 11: I understand that that's the.
Speaker 2: Politician is that's the politician part. It's like ignoring the
Speaker 2: broader problem and continuing it and perpetuating it. Someone's got
Speaker 2: to say no and point out why they're saying no,
Speaker 2: which is what yes, he did, and I can't fault
Speaker 2: him for that.
Speaker 11: Well, you know, you and I can agree to disagree
Speaker 11: on that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe you're right and I'm wrong.
Speaker 11: That's okay. One other thing, real quick, is you got
Speaker 11: this the person with the mental health organization from the
Speaker 11: other day. I guess it's the community or something, and
Speaker 11: they're they're like on some advisory board and they identify
Speaker 11: as a turtle. Now can you know what the heck?
Speaker 9: Can?
Speaker 12: I mean?
Speaker 9: What?
Speaker 11: And I think you had that in the stack of
Speaker 11: stupid yesterday.
Speaker 2: I believe it was.
Speaker 11: It's I guess if you can be a different gender,
Speaker 11: you know, can I identify as a ten year old?
Speaker 2: Knock yourself out to according to the according to the
Speaker 2: AOC world gain around me.
Speaker 11: Have to treat me like a ten year old?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 11: Do I get taken care of again? Do I find
Speaker 11: out what's for dinner when I get home?
Speaker 2: There are people on Social Security disability who are adults
Speaker 2: who are pretend to be babies. They are full grown adults.
Speaker 11: I remember the guy that built a baby crib. I
Speaker 11: remember that.
Speaker 2: There you go, And yes, you can identify as a
Speaker 2: turtle if you want. Just don't expect Brian Thomas to

Speaker 2: thousand of them from China and Russia. That means one
Speaker 2: in five every five foreign scientists entering America's top labs
Speaker 2: comes from the most dangerous foreign adversaries whose are not
Speaker 2: American citizens. They are well potentially Chinese Communist Party members.
Speaker 2: And you can make book if there's a Chinese from China,
Speaker 2: not a Chinese born citizen here in America who might
Speaker 2: hold American values, but if they're from China, they are
Speaker 2: wed and married to the Chinese Communist Party. They also
Speaker 2: are stealing our talent too. There's an actual plan from this.
Speaker 2: China has the thousand talents plan to take our best
Speaker 2: and brightest, after they've been American educated, and hire them away.
Speaker 2: One company one report from twenty twenty one Strider Technologies
Speaker 2: report found at least one hundred and sixty two scientists
Speaker 2: who had work at Los Alamos National Laboratory, home to
Speaker 2: the development of the world's first atomic bomb, were poached
Speaker 2: by Beijing to work in its military programs over the
Speaker 2: past several decades. Just scratching the service of the information
Speaker 2: in the article. But that's frightening that we do allow that,
Speaker 2: And you kind of wonder whether there's any security clearances
Speaker 2: related to that, and I would argue probably not. Six
Speaker 2: twenty six I fifty five CAREC the talk stations Stick
Speaker 2: Around Tech Fredai with Dave Hadter coming up after I
Speaker 2: mentioned Emery Federal Credit Union. A better way to bank
Speaker 2: learn the benefits of the bank can by going to
Speaker 2: EMORYFCU dot org, where you can also learn about the
Speaker 2: scholarship program they're offering. If you're a member with Emery,
Speaker 2: you're going to college this fall on a two or
Speaker 2: four year full time you or a family member apply
Speaker 2: for the scholarship. So if two four year college full
Speaker 2: time student, that's what applies. There are other restrictions like
Speaker 2: you got to get the application in postmark by March
Speaker 2: thirty first, But good opportunity to get some money for college,
Speaker 2: and who couldn't need it for who couldn't use that
Speaker 2: EMERYFCU dot org an them a list number four zero
Speaker 2: one zero. It's seven federally insured by NCUA. They are
Speaker 2: an equal housing.
Speaker 5: Lender fifty five KRC six thirty.
Speaker 2: You know what that time means on a Friday, It's
Speaker 2: time for tech Friday with day who had to route
Speaker 2: you by interest? I current the business, currently the best
Speaker 2: in the business when it comes to your company's computer needs.
Speaker 2: Get in touch with them, find thement online and interust
Speaker 2: it dot com. Welcome back. There's always a pleasure to
Speaker 2: have you on my program sir.
Speaker 9: Always good to be here, Brian. I look forward to
Speaker 9: it every Friday, and I hope we're doing some good
Speaker 9: out there.
Speaker 2: A man, get your ten foil hot on. Yeah, the
Speaker 2: FBI has another warning. Now what is this one all about?
Speaker 9: Well, sadly, Brian, they never end, No, they don't. And
Speaker 9: you know, I for small businesses, you know, really any business,
Speaker 9: but for small businesses and government agencies and so forth,
Speaker 9: I strongly encourage people to sign up for the f
Speaker 9: bi's newsletter Slash Advisory Alerts. And same thing FORCIS the
Speaker 9: Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. You know, they both agencies
Speaker 9: and in some cases will put out joint advisories and
Speaker 9: so forth, put out lots of useful information that will
Speaker 9: help you, as a as a business owner, business executive,
Speaker 9: elected official, etc. Understand what's really happening on there. So
Speaker 9: you don't have to take my word for it. You
Speaker 9: can see what your own government that you're paying for
Speaker 9: is seeing and telling you is happening. So, with that said,
Speaker 9: there's an advisory about ransomware. Apparently there's a ransomware group
Speaker 9: and they come up with these names. Sometimes the name
Speaker 9: refers to the ransomware itself, Sometimes it refers to the
Speaker 9: ransomware groups. Sometimes they're kind of lumped together. But there's
Speaker 9: this this ghost ransomware I'm just gonna call it ransomware
Speaker 9: roaming around out there. It's really nasty. It has and
Speaker 9: we've talked about this before, this double extortion effect, and
Speaker 9: so just so everyone understands, ransomware is software that is
Speaker 9: designed to get installed on as many of your devices
Speaker 9: as possible and then primarily encrypt the data, scramble the
Speaker 9: data up so that you can't access the data, which
Speaker 9: crashes the systems, makes them unusable. And then you know,
Speaker 9: if you don't have a good backup and a good
Speaker 9: restore process, some kind of business continuity. Ideally, you've got
Speaker 9: a big problem on your hands because the only way
Speaker 9: you can get your data back and thus your systems
Speaker 9: operational and your organization functional, is to pay the ransom.
Speaker 9: So that's extortion angle number one. They got smart over
Speaker 9: time and realized that because more and more people are
Speaker 9: listening to folks like me and the FBI and so forth,
Speaker 9: people are installing systems and technologies and tools not only
Speaker 9: to defend themselves against the ransomware, but to be positioned
Speaker 9: to recover quickly in the event that they get ransomware.
Speaker 9: So it's harder to get people to pay the ransoms.
Speaker 9: So they steal your data. So it's a two step attack.
Speaker 9: I get the ransomware in your environment somehow, lots of
Speaker 9: different ways that can happen. I encrypt your data, I
Speaker 9: steal your data while I'm encrypting it. And then when
Speaker 9: you say, well, yeah, I'm not going to pay the
Speaker 9: ransom because I have a backup, that's nice. Then they
Speaker 9: threaten to, you know, to release extort you by releasing
Speaker 9: your data.
Speaker 12: On the internet.
Speaker 9: And this has happened many times, and people think this
Speaker 9: sounds far fetched. I mean it's well documented and in fact,
Speaker 9: Brian in one case, this shows you the creativity. You know,
Speaker 9: the SEC for public companies change their rules around when
Speaker 9: you have to report. It's a K eight you have
Speaker 9: to report a cyber attack. In one instance, a company
Speaker 9: got hacked, they didn't pay the ransom. The ransomware hackers
Speaker 9: actually reported them to the SEC for not finding the
Speaker 9: appropriate forms. How about that. That's a true story, as
Speaker 9: crazy as that may sound. So it just goes to
Speaker 9: show you it's almost always about money. You know, they'll
Speaker 9: take your data too because it has value, but they
Speaker 9: want to get your money. In most cases, unless it's
Speaker 9: a nation state actor that's either looking to a steal
Speaker 9: your trade secrets and military secrets or b create chaos,
Speaker 9: it's mostly about money. It will steal your money if
Speaker 9: you make it easy. The FBI is warned about it again.
Speaker 9: In this case, they're saying that this particular group, rather
Speaker 9: than try to use phishing attacks and so forth, are
Speaker 9: looking for vulnerabilities in your software. It speaks to why
Speaker 9: it's so incredibly important to make sure that you a
Speaker 9: have an asset inventory of everything in your network, all
Speaker 9: the hardware, all the software, all the users, etc. You
Speaker 9: can't protect things if you don't know you have them,
Speaker 9: and then b you have to update the software. And
Speaker 9: if you have software and devices that can't be updated,
Speaker 9: you're asking for this kind of attack. The advisory points
Speaker 9: out several and what we nerds like to call common
Speaker 9: vulnerability enumerations. These are specific known vulnerabilities, and in most
Speaker 9: cases they have a fix for them. But you know,
Speaker 9: businesses don't know it might be difficult to patch the
Speaker 9: system because it breaks things. So again, I'm not suggesting
Speaker 9: it's trivial or easy to deal with this, but here's
Speaker 9: the thing, Brian. In many of these cases, if you're
Speaker 9: working with a company like Intrust, you can find that
Speaker 9: where your vulnerabilities are, understand the risk associated with those vulnerabilities,
Speaker 9: and then either ignore it because it's not a risk,
Speaker 9: or fix it and avoid these kinds of problems. Because
Speaker 9: when you get a ransomware attack like this, A, depending
Speaker 9: on what type of ransomware it is and how much
Speaker 9: ransom they want, you know, even if you pay the ransom,
Speaker 9: you may not get your data back. B they may
Speaker 9: have stolen your data. And see in some cases, depending
Speaker 9: on where this organization that's stealing your corrupting your data
Speaker 9: and stealing your money. Is it might be illegal to
Speaker 9: pay them, right, you may have a new problem with
Speaker 9: the US federal government because there are certain places you
Speaker 9: can't send money to. Right. So ideally, yeah, ideally you
Speaker 9: want to defend against this. It's not possible to block
Speaker 9: every conceivable way this can happen. So you also then
Speaker 9: need a good strategy and plan.
Speaker 2: To recover, which is what interest it does.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and sign up for these sign up for these advisories. People.
Speaker 9: Get the information, whether you know, even if you don't
Speaker 9: want to work with Interrust for whatever reason, You've got
Speaker 9: your own it guy, you got another vendor, you work
Speaker 9: with it you like, Hey, great, Get the information so
Speaker 9: you can understand your risk and make risk informed decisions
Speaker 9: to protect your organization before this happens to you, because
Speaker 9: eventually they will find you. They will find a flaw,
Speaker 9: they will exploit it if you're not taking these things
Speaker 9: seriously and not defending against them.
Speaker 2: Be proactive. Let's bring gade back talk about artificial intelligence

Speaker 2: or content. Rather and also be proactive and surely safety

Speaker 2: Dave Hatter, interest it dot com to prevent problems with
Speaker 2: your business computer systems, moving over a new Android feature
Speaker 2: scanning our photos. What's this all about, Dave Hatter?
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, Brian, now you know, for full transparency, I
Speaker 9: always like to point out to people that I am
Speaker 9: not a fan of Alphabet, which is the parent company
Speaker 9: of Google, right, And this is just another example of
Speaker 9: why many remember, if they're old people like me who've
Speaker 9: been doing this for a long time, when Google first
Speaker 9: hit the scene, they had a motto that was something
Speaker 9: along the lines of don't be evil, and you may
Speaker 9: notice they got rid of that a long time, and
Speaker 9: you never hear them say that. And uh, you know,
Speaker 9: they're often accused of privacy washing, which is this idea
Speaker 9: of saying that you're for privacy when you really are
Speaker 9: doing things against it. And to me, this is just
Speaker 9: yet another example of that. And I also want to
Speaker 9: be really clear to folks, all of these big tech companies,
Speaker 9: in their own way have their own issues they're collecting
Speaker 9: your data. They're doing a variety of different things with it,
Speaker 9: because your data has value. It has value to them
Speaker 9: for a variety of reasons, not the least of which
Speaker 9: is to better understand you and sell you more stuff
Speaker 9: on behalf of themselves and others, and to sell that data.
Speaker 9: So I'm not saying that no one else out there
Speaker 9: is doing anything like.
Speaker 2: This, but your favorite pet peeve, because they're the biggest offender.
Speaker 9: If they're not the biggest defender, they're certainly tied at
Speaker 9: the top.
Speaker 2: They're working on it.
Speaker 9: They're good at dark patterns and privacy washing. And yet
Speaker 9: here's another So Android is the operating system they make
Speaker 9: for mobile phones. You know, they make their own phones,
Speaker 9: and then you know other folks make phones that run Android.
Speaker 9: It's the main competitor to iOS, which is Apple's you know,
Speaker 9: mobile operating system. So they rolled out a new update
Speaker 9: and it's really interesting the way it's went, and I
Speaker 9: just I want to work back into this. So and
Speaker 9: I'll post all this in my notes from the show
Speaker 9: so people can go see this for themselves, because there's
Speaker 9: a step by step guide. If you have an Android phone, again,
Speaker 9: I would tell you while Apple is not flawless. They
Speaker 9: have their problems. You'd be much better off on an
Speaker 9: Apple device at this point. They're step by step instructions
Speaker 9: in the ZD in that article how to remove this
Speaker 9: Android system safety Core, which is what it's called. It's
Speaker 9: called and it rolled out an Android nine. So here
Speaker 9: is a direct quote from the article. As one Google
Speaker 9: play Store customer said, quote, no consent given, install could
Speaker 9: not be paused or stopped. I watched it install itself
Speaker 9: on my phone on January twenty second, twenty twenty five,
Speaker 9: couldn't pause, canceling, and it did all of that over
Speaker 9: the mobile network. My setting's never downloaded or installed anything
Speaker 9: unless some are set to never download anything unless I'm
Speaker 9: on Wi Fi. Description tells you nothing. Permissions are for
Speaker 9: virtually everything. And then the article goes on to say
Speaker 9: Safety Court doesn't have an icon, doesn't show up on
Speaker 9: the usual list of running applications. You only find the
Speaker 9: service by digging deep into the settings. Apps show system processes.
Speaker 9: So those two things alone, Now again you're taking the
Speaker 9: word of someone that posted something online. I'm going to
Speaker 9: assume the editors and whoever wrote this article researched this
Speaker 9: sum You know, they did say in their own words,
Speaker 9: this thing doesn't show up. So you get this installed
Speaker 9: and the idea. Now, I will admit if you if
Speaker 9: you understand what they claim it's doing, that it pass
Speaker 9: potentially some value. But my problem with so many of
Speaker 9: these things, Brian, is you never have a fully informed
Speaker 9: consent of the user. If you, on your own device,
Speaker 9: as an adult, decide that you want to do X,
Speaker 9: Y or z, and you under what that means, what
Speaker 9: it's doing and how that could impact you, and you say,
Speaker 9: I'm okay with that, Well, I'm okay with that. That's
Speaker 9: on you. But my issue with so many of these
Speaker 9: things is, you know, you get this and the premise
Speaker 9: is that it's going to scan content on your local device.
Speaker 9: It claims it's not sending it to Google.
Speaker 2: We'll see.
Speaker 9: Looking for let's just say, unsavory content. And for example,
Speaker 9: if you were going to send a nude photo to someone,
Speaker 9: it could scan that photo and then warn you through
Speaker 9: a quote sensitive content warning.
Speaker 6: They say here.
Speaker 9: Sensitive content Warning Optional feature blurs images that may contain
Speaker 9: nudity before viewing them and prompts with a speed bump
Speaker 9: that helps you understand why you might not want to
Speaker 9: send that I'm paraphrasing a bit. Okay, I could see
Speaker 9: where that is at least potentially reasonable, and especially for
Speaker 9: kids who might be getting sucked into a sex stortion
Speaker 9: thing or being manipulated by a predator. Okay, but when
Speaker 9: you don't even know this is on your phone and
Speaker 9: it's scanning your content. Now they claim it's not sending
Speaker 9: that to their servers, and maybe it's not today, but
Speaker 9: it could be tomorrow. And at some future point, could
Speaker 9: you get a knock on your door because of this
Speaker 9: feature from law enforcement because of some photo that you have,
Speaker 9: Well maybe, and I know that may sound far fetched
Speaker 9: to people, but the idea that they would plug this
Speaker 9: in not really explain what it is, I would argue
Speaker 9: from what I'm reading here, because you know, I don't
Speaker 9: have an Android phone to test this, Brian, you know
Speaker 9: that they're doing it in a surreptitious way where you
Speaker 9: don't understand what you're getting, and it's scanning content on
Speaker 9: your device. You know, at least if it's doing what
Speaker 9: they truly claim and it's only scanning this stuff locally
Speaker 9: and not sending it to their servers, that's that's a
Speaker 9: huge step in the right direction. But the idea that
Speaker 9: they would do this without telling you, and that you
Speaker 9: as a user wouldn't understand this. It's just a bridge
Speaker 9: too far from me.
Speaker 2: Another example, and they could updreak the software and then
Speaker 2: make it just send it out.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yes, they could step by step instructions out there
Speaker 9: to get rid of it. If you have an Android phone,
Speaker 9: you know again, I'll post that later in my notes.
Speaker 9: I encourage people, if you have an Android phone, look
Speaker 9: into this and then decide for yourself whether a you
Speaker 9: at least want to disable or be maybe it's time
Speaker 9: to switch.
Speaker 2: Him into that. Coming up next, a hack via Bluetooth.
Speaker 2: One more with Dave had Ter in Tech Friday Gaate
Speaker 2: to Heaven Cemetery of Montgomery. That's a great place to
Speaker 2: go to meditate, to relax, to chill, to reflect, to pray.

Speaker 2: Fifty bove KERCD talk station full half hour with Tech
Speaker 2: Friday's Dave out to talk to you for an hour day.
Speaker 2: It would be easy to do. There's so much stuff
Speaker 2: on your plate, man, we hardly can never get through it.
Speaker 2: But moving over, we've got bluetooth hack.
Speaker 9: Now, yeah, let me. I'm going to bounce around on
Speaker 9: this a little bit, Brian, because I want to want
Speaker 9: to show a pattern here that you and I have
Speaker 9: tried to point out many times over the years, but
Speaker 9: it just gets clear every day. So Ubiquitous ESP thirty
Speaker 9: two microchip, made by Chinese manufacturer Expressive and used by
Speaker 9: over one billion units as of twenty twenty three, contains
Speaker 9: undocumented commands that could be leveraged for attack. So that's
Speaker 9: a direct quote from an article and Bleeping Computer. You
Speaker 9: read the headline, now, keyword Chinese manufacturer, key phrase. Now,
Speaker 9: let me hit a couple other headlines and then come
Speaker 9: back to this and maybe we can get to some
Speaker 9: of these next week, China's old typhoon hackers dwelled in
Speaker 9: US electric grid for three hundred days. Chinese cyber espionage
Speaker 9: jumps one hundred and fifty percent, CrowdStrike fines. US congressional
Speaker 9: panel urges Americans to ditch China made routers, especially TP link,
Speaker 9: which is the most popular brand of route. I think
Speaker 9: think Wi Fi router or home networking device. You see
Speaker 9: a pattern here yet, Brian, Yes, I do. I thought
Speaker 9: you might. So if we get back to the article
Speaker 9: at hand, thow and this backdoor and Bluetooth. So Bluetooth
Speaker 9: most people probably at least have a basic conception of
Speaker 9: what it is. It's been around for a long time.
Speaker 9: It's a wireless technology that allows relatively short term connections
Speaker 9: between devices. It's super handy because it makes it really
Speaker 9: easy to connect devices. So whether it's you know, your
Speaker 9: phone to an external speaker, or your phone to some
Speaker 9: kind of ear pods, or your phone to a car,
Speaker 9: you know, your computer to a speaker, right, anything that
Speaker 9: supports Bluetooth, usually within a relatively short range of fifty
Speaker 9: feet or less, that's a you know, it varies widely,
Speaker 9: but idea is without needing any cables, I can just
Speaker 9: connect to devices and they can share information. I use
Speaker 9: it every days. Most of your listeners probably do too,
Speaker 9: maybe they don't even realize it. So Bluetooth is almost
Speaker 9: ubiquitous at this point. It's baked into just about any
Speaker 9: kind of modern device that might need to connect to
Speaker 9: something else, which is just about everything at this point.
Speaker 9: And you know, they point out further in this article
Speaker 9: that this particular chip, this ESP thirty two Tar Logic Security.
Speaker 9: This is a research firm that discover this detected a
Speaker 9: backdoor in THEESP thirty two microcontroller that enables Wi Fi
Speaker 9: and Bluetooth connections and is present in millions of mass
Speaker 9: market Internet of things devices. Internet of things my favorite
Speaker 9: thing to dump on because this is now again this
Speaker 9: is just recently discovered. But the vast majority of your
Speaker 9: so called smart devices, your smart coffee maker, TV refrigerator,
Speaker 9: whatever is, are privacy and security dumpster fires. They're designed
Speaker 9: for speed to market, of use, and market share. They're
Speaker 9: not designed for your privacy or security. And people are
Speaker 9: buying these things, they're plugging them in without understanding how
Speaker 9: they work, how to configure them correctly, how to update
Speaker 9: the software. We just talked a minute ago about how
Speaker 9: critical it is to update the software in your devices
Speaker 9: and how critical that is. They don't know how to
Speaker 9: do that, and now you find you have a chip.
Speaker 9: These researchers found twenty nine undocumented commands, which basically mean
Speaker 9: that these commands could be exploited and it gets into
Speaker 9: some real nerdy stuff when you dig down into it,
Speaker 9: but could be exploited to do things like potentially takeover
Speaker 9: a device, send data to places that you don't understand. Again,
Speaker 9: they point out in there, it's not necessarily malicious. It's
Speaker 9: possible this is code that was left over for some
Speaker 9: sort of testing or something. But in my mind it
Speaker 9: points out two things. We've got to get really serious
Speaker 9: about these Internet of things devices and what they're capable of,
Speaker 9: and the fact that they're exploding rapidly and people are
Speaker 9: creating these possible holes in their personal and their organizational
Speaker 9: networks that could be exploited to possibly catastrophic consequences. And
Speaker 9: then b we need to stop buying these sorts of
Speaker 9: devices that we're coming from adversarial nations like China, because
Speaker 9: you know, again, this might not be nefarious, but it
Speaker 9: could be exploited in the various ways and As we
Speaker 9: add more and more of these things, Brian, the risk
Speaker 9: just keeps going up. And I'm constantly telling people and
Speaker 9: people laugh at me all the time. You know, you're
Speaker 9: a smart coffee maker. Do you think mister coffee, first off,
Speaker 9: why do you need that? Secondarily, do you think mister
Speaker 9: coffee is putting out updates for the vulnerabilities that will
Speaker 9: eventually be found in that software two or three years
Speaker 9: from now? Of course they're not.
Speaker 2: It's a vehicle to hack into something else on your
Speaker 2: WiFi as it is. Yeah, I mean you've pointed that
Speaker 2: out so many times, and it's.
Speaker 9: Documented, Brian. You don't have to take my word for it.
Speaker 9: There are hackers that have documented this and have videos
Speaker 9: showing you how they've hacked various so called smart devices
Speaker 9: like your coffee maker. So I'm not saying there's never
Speaker 9: a case where you should buy any of this stuff,
Speaker 9: although I can tell you I have none of it,
Speaker 9: and you know, over time it will mature and hopefully
Speaker 9: the shift will focus more on privacy and security. But
Speaker 9: until that happens, you are asking to get hacked. I mean,
Speaker 9: it's just that simple, especially if the device is older,
Speaker 9: because I can guarantee you they're not updating it, and
Speaker 9: even if they are, do you know how to do it?
Speaker 9: Are you sure it's getting done? We need to stop
Speaker 9: buying this stuff.
Speaker 2: The risk is very high versus whatever perceived benefit you're
Speaker 2: going to get from it. Yeah, Dave hat or interest
Speaker 2: it dot com. I appreciate you and your companies sponsoring
Speaker 2: the very valuable segment the information you provide. It's a
Speaker 2: wonderful benefit for my listeners. I'll look forward to another
Speaker 2: segment next Friday, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 9: My friend, always my pleasure, Brian, Thanks to you and
Speaker 9: Joe and all your listeners, and I'll look forward to
Speaker 9: chatting with you next week.
Speaker 2: All right, take care brother. Six fifty five coming up
Speaker 2: off top of the our news Dave Williams, Taxpayer Protection
Speaker 2: Alliance's thought on the Trump, the rest of Congress, and
Speaker 2: a message to Doge. Once you take a look at
Speaker 2: the post office, Dave Williams.
Speaker 12: Next, a full rundown and the biggest ten lines there's
Speaker 12: minutes away at the top of the hour.
Speaker 1: I'm giving you a fact now Americans should know. Fifty
Speaker 1: five krs the talk station.
Speaker 8: This report is sponsored by True Grain.
Speaker 2: Seven six in a very happy Friday to you, Brian Thomas.
Speaker 2: Always always happy when I see in the rundown, our
Speaker 2: good friend from the Taxpayer Protection Alliance, which you can
Speaker 2: find online in Protecting Taxpayers dot org. Welcome back to
Speaker 2: the fifty five kr SE Morning Show, Dave Williams. Good
Speaker 2: to have you on this morning.
Speaker 13: Good morning, Brian, and don't look at the sock market. Yeah,
Speaker 13: that's my first word of advice for today is you know,
Speaker 13: listen to a lot of people panic right when they
Speaker 13: see the market going down, and it's always a good
Speaker 13: bet to invest in the market. And yes, people are
Speaker 13: kind of struggling right now, but you know, always play
Speaker 13: the long game here and don't panic.
Speaker 8: Don't panic.
Speaker 2: I've been through these ups and downs. I'm going to
Speaker 2: be sixty in September, so I've been through it a lot.
Speaker 2: You know, I've been investing in four to one case
Speaker 2: since I had my first full time job as a lawyer,
Speaker 2: and you know, I just don't pay attention to it, honestly,
Speaker 2: because it's not worth the indigestion. And over the long haul,
Speaker 2: it's all worked out quite well in spite of the
Speaker 2: always temporary downturns. Always I say that with a bit
Speaker 2: of hesitation, because you know, someday they if people aren't
Speaker 2: interested in purchasing our debt anymore, we're going to have
Speaker 2: a real problem on our hands. And I just sort
Speaker 2: of see that day coming closer and closer, which is
Speaker 2: a real concern. So the addressed to Congress, Trum's addressed
Speaker 2: to Congress. Let's start there, because there was a lot
Speaker 2: of good there was some mixed reaction stuff, and of course,
Speaker 2: as you point out in your analysis of it at
Speaker 2: tax Payer Protection Lines, some bad stuff, at least from
Speaker 2: the perception of your group, and I understand why. So
Speaker 2: let's start with some of the good things. And I
Speaker 2: want to fast forward, moving away from the World Health
Speaker 2: Organization though the green news scam, which I agree it
Speaker 2: is a scam. Trump's all the above energy policy and
Speaker 2: just released this week the EPA really making some significant
Speaker 2: changes in terms of like greenhouse gas emissions that really aren't.
Speaker 13: Yeah, there's a lot to unpack here when you talk
Speaker 13: about the green news scam, and really it's you know,
Speaker 13: electric vehicles, it's I mean the trillions of dollars and
Speaker 13: I'm not overstating this that has been really cordoned off
Speaker 13: for green energy. We're talking about EV subsidies, we're talking
Speaker 13: about loans, we're talking about really just giveaways to green energy.
Speaker 13: And if green energy is going to be a part
Speaker 13: of the energy portfolio, it needs to survive on its
Speaker 13: own age. We're not saying not get we're not saying
Speaker 13: get rid of wind and solar, but if it's part
Speaker 13: of it, no government subsidies, no taxpayer subsidies. And I think,
Speaker 13: you know, that's where there's a little bit of disconnect
Speaker 13: I think with people is that they really hate these
Speaker 13: new energy things.
Speaker 8: Well, don't hate them, just don't subsidize them.
Speaker 13: But I like what Trump is doing and saying no
Speaker 13: more EV subsidies, and we have to claw back all
Speaker 13: these green energy subsidies.
Speaker 2: And no more mandates. The mandates of the reason the
Speaker 2: subsidies are in place. If you mean, if the product
Speaker 2: could survive on it, so own it to be something
Speaker 2: the public demands and they would want it. In other words,
Speaker 2: I want a car with massive off the line torque.
Speaker 2: Then you want an AFTERC vehicle. Fine, you've got a
Speaker 2: zero to sixteen less than two seconds by yourself, a
Speaker 2: Tesla plaid. But if that's not important to you and
Speaker 2: you really don't mind your internal combustion engine. I'd stick
Speaker 2: with that because that's what I do, and that's what
Speaker 2: I like. I want them to be available and I
Speaker 2: want to be able to have the choice myself.
Speaker 8: Exactly.
Speaker 13: And it really dovetails into what we talk about the
Speaker 13: EPA and really having less of a footprint. You know,
Speaker 13: it's funny because they talk about a carbon footprint. What
Speaker 13: I want is less of is a government footprint on business,
Speaker 13: on individuals. I mean, that's my goal for amenaking the
Speaker 13: government footprint. And you know, when you talk about regulations,
Speaker 13: you talk about permitting, the permitting process. It's not just
Speaker 13: about the bureaucracy. It's about allowing companies to do what
Speaker 13: they want to do and to be able to prosper
Speaker 13: and to build and to grow because the government is
Speaker 13: preventing businesses from flourishing, from expanding, and that's what the
Speaker 13: EPA does is stopping this.
Speaker 8: We have a many energy revolution happening in this country.
Speaker 13: You have companies that are building nuclear power plants and
Speaker 13: going with nuclear power to power their data centers like Microsoft, Google, Amazon,
Speaker 13: all of them right because they see this as the
Speaker 13: future of energy and nuclear energy is renewable, and the
Speaker 13: left hates to hear that. They hate to hear that
Speaker 13: nuclear energy is renewable, but it absolutely is and really
Speaker 13: could solve a.
Speaker 8: Lot of our energy problems.
Speaker 13: And the product sector again is taking the lead on
Speaker 13: this and saying, yes, we need to embrace nuclear.
Speaker 8: Energy to help reduce energy costs.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Amazon just these past fall announced that they have
Speaker 2: signed contracts in multiple states for these small modular reactors,
Speaker 2: which were a revolution in nuclear technology. It produces a
Speaker 2: massive amount of small of power and a very small
Speaker 2: footprint and they're just just amazing. I think this is
Speaker 2: the revolution and thanks to these giant tech companies embracing
Speaker 2: it conceptually and actually moving forward with investments in and
Speaker 2: I think that's going to allow us, the unwashed masses
Speaker 2: they have access to it too, and it'd be less
Speaker 2: resistance than nuclear power generally speaking.
Speaker 13: Well, and I think that a lot of people's mindset,
Speaker 13: they're stuck in the nineteen seven Oh yeah, when it
Speaker 13: comes to nuclear power, they think of three mile I
Speaker 13: only think of these things. We are way beyond that.
Speaker 13: And again, like you said, these tech companies are leaving
Speaker 13: the way in this. So it's really fascinating to say,
Speaker 13: if we see more of this deployment in the coming years.
Speaker 2: Yeah. A couple other highlights the extension of the Tax
Speaker 2: Cuts and Jobs Act from twenty seventeen. They're gonna have
Speaker 2: to get their work done on that one because it's
Speaker 2: going to expire at least when I'm looking looking at
Speaker 2: Protecting Taxpayers dot org. You've got a countdown clock to that.
Speaker 2: We have two hundred and ninety two days to get
Speaker 2: that done. So and then DOGE. All the work DOJ
Speaker 2: is doing just revealing to the American public how wasteful
Speaker 2: they are with our money, just across the board, whether
Speaker 2: it's fraud, waste abuse, just stupid programs like transgender urban
Speaker 2: farmer programs. I mean, give me a break. It's just
Speaker 2: mind boggling, and that left is being forced to defend
Speaker 2: the indefensible.
Speaker 13: This is the crazy part, Brian, is that you have
Speaker 13: people like Chuck Schumer who are complaining about dog and
Speaker 13: it's like, well, you know, we want to cut spending.
Speaker 2: No you don't know, you don't.
Speaker 8: You have never offered an amendment, you have never offered any.
Speaker 13: Piece of legislation to cut spending, to look at wastefle spending.
Speaker 13: So what Doge is doing is I want to say
Speaker 13: it's revolutionary, but it's not because Rand Paul has been
Speaker 13: doing this for years, that's been putting that reports on
Speaker 13: wastefle spending. Now it's institutionalized and we're hearing a lot
Speaker 13: more about it.
Speaker 8: And I love this discussion.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 13: Hasn't been perfect, has execution been perfect, Absolutely not, But
Speaker 13: it's a discussion that we haven't had in this country,
Speaker 13: a sustained discussion. I mean, we've been talking about this
Speaker 13: for months now. We haven't had that for a very
Speaker 13: long time. And it's so healthy to talk about getting
Speaker 13: rid of these programs and you know us AID that
Speaker 13: you know the crazy things that are being funded through
Speaker 13: us AI. D Yes, let's get rid of them. And
Speaker 13: let's do it now. You know, Speaker of Mike Johnson,
Speaker 13: you know when you pass a continuing resolution, offer some
Speaker 13: of these spendings.
Speaker 2: Exactly, let's get the ball rolling.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 8: T is time is, the clock is ticking.
Speaker 2: Indeed, he did mention about balancing the federal budget. But
Speaker 2: then Trump always comes out and says, I Am not
Speaker 2: going to touch so security, Medicare, Medicaid, which are the
Speaker 2: biggest problems we have on our hands. Someone is going
Speaker 2: to have to deal with that mess. They're unsustainable and
Speaker 2: they're on a trajectory to collapse on themselves, and everyone
Speaker 2: keeps saying no, no, no, we're not going to touch
Speaker 2: I'm not going to touch them. So I believe in
Speaker 2: ferreting out the fraud, waste, and abuse is a great
Speaker 2: first step, but the programs themselves are going to have
Speaker 2: to be reorganized.
Speaker 8: They will, Brian.
Speaker 13: I think Trump has a unique opportunity here because he's
Speaker 13: probably not running again. I mean, he talks about a
Speaker 13: third term, but you know he's not going to run again.
Speaker 13: So why not have this difficult discussion now because it's
Speaker 13: not going to hurt him politically, Because I mean, this
Speaker 13: is it right, So this is the time to do
Speaker 13: it if you are president, is to have these difficult
Speaker 13: but necessary discussions because like you said, this is trillions
Speaker 13: of dollars in taxpayers spending that we need to bring
Speaker 13: under control, and there's ways to do it. And I
Speaker 13: know people don't like to hear the p word privatization,
Speaker 13: but if I am allowed to invest my own.
Speaker 2: Money, I know not I know, give me the option.
Speaker 13: We're not saying this mandatory, Bryan, We're saying give me
Speaker 13: the option if I want part of my social security
Speaker 13: to go into a private fund, I should be able.
Speaker 6: To do that.
Speaker 2: Amen. And the tariff, you and I can agree the
Speaker 2: terrorists aren't necessarily a good thing, and I know that's
Speaker 2: one of the things you labeled under the bad Trump
Speaker 2: loves them. Yeah, I understand reciprocal tarifts that they're taxing
Speaker 2: our stuff or tariffing our things, and why wouldn't we
Speaker 2: go to tariff on theirs? Obviously it's has an inflationary reality.
Speaker 2: But when you're using terriffs to get another country to
Speaker 2: do something that you wanted to do that it doesn't
Speaker 2: want to do, then we run into some real problems
Speaker 2: because then they do reciprocal tariffs and it becomes a
Speaker 2: downward spiral.
Speaker 13: Right, and companies don't pay taxes. Consumers do it, right,
Speaker 13: higher prices. So that's the problem is that this is
Speaker 13: going to get passed on to the consumer and that's
Speaker 13: the last thing that we want. So you understand what
Speaker 13: he's trying to do, but it's not working because we've
Speaker 13: seen prices skyrocket and when you talk about he's going
Speaker 13: to delay them for a month, Well, you can't build
Speaker 13: a manufacturing base in a month.
Speaker 8: If you say we're going to delay auto tariffs or
Speaker 8: whatever tariffs, you can't.
Speaker 13: Build that whole manufacturing base in a month to make
Speaker 13: sure it's produced in the US.
Speaker 8: So it's just it's not feasible.
Speaker 2: Well, let's pausitive seven to fifteen. We'll bring back Dave
Speaker 2: Williams from the tax payer protection lines. We'll talk about Hey, Doge,
Speaker 2: why don't you take a look at the post office?
Speaker 2: Maybe the other couple of points from the Trump address.
Speaker 12: Uh.
Speaker 2: First, though, I strongly recommend you get in touch with
Speaker 2: John Ryan. His company is Prestigian Tiriris. You will be
Speaker 2: working with John and Prestisianteririers does kitchen remodeling. They did
Speaker 2: our kitchen remodeling projects so many years ago. Just love it,
Speaker 2: absolutely love it still to this day. Spend all our
Speaker 2: time in the kitchen, so much time in the kitchen.
Speaker 2: It's the heart of your home. And I bet you're
Speaker 2: the same way. Why not have a kitchen that you
Speaker 2: just simply love being in. You do a small project
Speaker 2: or a big project, got the whole thing and start
Speaker 2: from scratch. John is with you from initial design to
Speaker 2: final installation. He's been doing kitchens for more than thirty
Speaker 2: or thirty five years, so trust me, he knows what
Speaker 2: he is doing. A plus with a BBB, you're working
Speaker 2: with the right man. You'll really like him too. He's
Speaker 2: just a sweet and pleasant guy to work with. Find
Speaker 2: him online. Check it all out of Prestige one two
Speaker 2: three dot com, Prestige one two three dot com and
Speaker 2: you call him, please tell them. Brian said Hi at

Speaker 14: I'm Heather Pasco in fifty five KRC the talk station.
Speaker 2: It's seven twenty and a happy Friday to year. Brian
Speaker 2: time us here with Dave Williams from the Taxpayer Protection
Speaker 2: Alliance online at Protecting Taxpayers dot org. I could line
Speaker 2: up a list of your big favorite pet thieves day
Speaker 2: after all the years we've talked and in the street
Speaker 2: cars is number one? You and I always have a
Speaker 2: go about. That is a colossal waste of taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 2: And I can't figure out whether number two is taxpayer
Speaker 2: funded stadiums or the post office.
Speaker 8: Oh man, that's that's tough, Brian. Let's put them at
Speaker 8: its high at number two.
Speaker 2: Tie at number two, right next to taxpayer funded stadiums,
Speaker 2: the United States Postal System, which literally loses billions and billions,
Speaker 2: and every single year for as long as you and
Speaker 2: I have been talking, they lose billions of dollars. I mean,
Speaker 2: a business model that should work, a business model that
Speaker 2: should be flexible, like any other business. If nobody's mailing
Speaker 2: letters like they used to, then you're gonna have to
Speaker 2: cut back the size of your business or come up
Speaker 2: with an alternative business model that will help you continue
Speaker 2: to be proper cofittable. But they never are profitable.
Speaker 8: No, they're not, And they're a monopoly. You have a
Speaker 8: you have a mailbox.
Speaker 13: Nobody can put anything in that mailbox except the Postal Service.
Speaker 13: It is against the law for any other company to
Speaker 13: put anything into your mailbox. You know, it's funny the
Speaker 13: Federal Trade Commissioned Department of Justice, they talk about these
Speaker 13: monopolies and anti trust and breaking up these big companies,
Speaker 13: break up the post Office. I mean, they they're not
Speaker 13: looking at the most obvious monopoly that's out there, and
Speaker 13: that's the post Office. And again they're losing billions.
Speaker 8: Of dollars a year. I would love to have a
Speaker 8: monopoly business, wouldn't you.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like printing money. You would think, well,
Speaker 2: and I guess, I guess it's mentioned in the in
Speaker 2: the Constitution, if I recall correctly, I guess they're not
Speaker 2: required to break even. At least they know they're going
Speaker 2: to get some sort of federal bailout. I mean, is
Speaker 2: that what this comes down to.
Speaker 8: Exactly?
Speaker 13: And you know it really over the past few years
Speaker 13: since COVID that they've gotten tens and tens of billions
Speaker 13: of taxpayer dollars. Now, they've always gotten taxpayer dollars in
Speaker 13: the fact that they don't have to pay taxes, they
Speaker 13: don't pay tax on gasoline for their trucks, so they've
Speaker 13: always gotten a really good deal from the taxpayers. But
Speaker 13: it's really the checks have been written over the last
Speaker 13: five or six years, specifically for the post office.
Speaker 2: Well, what seems to be the problem here is it
Speaker 2: just the fact that well, again I think this problems
Speaker 2: existed since before the Internet showed up and people were
Speaker 2: still mailing letters. But that obviously has compounded their problems
Speaker 2: because fewer and fewer people are mailing things. I think
Speaker 2: on a daily basis, if I get something substantive, maybe
Speaker 2: an actual bill or something that requires my attention, it's
Speaker 2: ninety percent just junk mails what I call it.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's poor management, it really is, from top to bottom.
Speaker 13: And Congress has just punted every time when they've looked
Speaker 13: at postal reform, look at Saturday delivery. If we got
Speaker 13: rid of Saturday delivery, that would save two billion dollars
Speaker 13: a year. And I really don't believe people would notice
Speaker 13: if Saturday delivery went away, if you had to wait
Speaker 13: till Monday to get your mail.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't get mail on Sundays.
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, we get packages on Sundays from the Post
Speaker 13: Office because they have a deal with Amazon to make
Speaker 13: sure that packages are delivered on Sunday, and that increases
Speaker 13: the cost. So it's estimated that each package that is
Speaker 13: delivered by the post Office, whether it's Amazon or any
Speaker 13: other seller, they lose about a dollar fifty per package
Speaker 13: they lose.
Speaker 2: They don't make you.
Speaker 8: Make it up dollar fifty.
Speaker 2: You make it up in volume, Dave.
Speaker 8: Yes, volume, volume volume.
Speaker 2: Well, as you report. I know you didn't make the
Speaker 2: statistic up. US Postal Service lost nine point five billion
Speaker 2: dollars in twenty twenty four alone.
Speaker 13: Yes, yes, So part of the problem is when they
Speaker 13: hire temporary seasonal employees because of the unions, they have
Speaker 13: to offer them full time jobs after you know, after Christmas,
Speaker 13: after the season, so no longer company does that. NOx
Speaker 13: UPS they hire seasonal.
Speaker 8: You know what seasonal is seasonal?
Speaker 13: So in January they don't have a job at UPS
Speaker 13: or FedEx, at the postal service, you get the option
Speaker 13: of joining the postal service full time. Again, these are
Speaker 13: poor management decisions and a lot of it's driven by unions,
Speaker 13: and a lot of us is driven by stupidity truly.
Speaker 2: And the electric vehicle mandate, I can see this is
Speaker 2: the most likely one to eliminate because I think the
Speaker 2: contract they had with the electric vehicle manufacturer hasn't They
Speaker 2: haven't delivered on it.
Speaker 13: They haven't delivered on it. They're about ten thousand to
Speaker 13: twenty thousand dollars each vehicle more expensive than a regular
Speaker 13: combustible engine. And you know, if we see gas prices
Speaker 13: go down, obviously you save money there. Yeah, and gas
Speaker 13: prices haven't gotten down with more energy explorations, so listen,
Speaker 13: I think that again, this is a business model that
Speaker 13: isn't working. And do we absolutely need to privatize it.
Speaker 13: I think we should move towards it, but that's not
Speaker 13: the ultimate answer. We just need better decision making and
Speaker 13: listen more attention by Congress. Congress passed the Postal Reform
Speaker 13: Act a couple of years ago, and what they did
Speaker 13: was they took all of the postal obligations, the healthcare
Speaker 13: obligations and moved them over to medicare.
Speaker 8: Well that didn't save any money.
Speaker 13: No, it just means that taxpayers are still paying for
Speaker 13: in this and they didn't reform this in any way.
Speaker 2: Oh By, don't look over there, you're still on the hook.
Speaker 2: Dave William bookmark the page protecting protecting taxpayers butt Or
Speaker 2: appreciate the work that you're doing and bringing this to

Speaker 2: Butterberd Motors. They aren't family members at the box store.
Speaker 2: They don't know about the products they're selling. To the
Speaker 2: extent that Herbert family does, you will be dealing with

Speaker 2: next guest, Mark Beckman. Check out his resume. I can't
Speaker 2: read it all. We wouldn't have any time to talk
Speaker 2: about his new books Some Future Day, how Ai Is
Speaker 2: Going to Change Everything. He is the CEO of an
Speaker 2: award winning advertising agency, d m A United, and he
Speaker 2: has well worked on campaigns for literally every major company
Speaker 2: in the country. Embraces and emerging technology and effort to
Speaker 2: augment campaigns, including We're going to be talking about it
Speaker 2: artificial intelligence, and he's used that a variety of wastes
Speaker 2: for his advertising campaigns. He show Some Future Day examines technology,
Speaker 2: culture in the law, all kinds of really notable guests.
Speaker 2: He's also of the best selling comprehensive guide NFTs Digital
Speaker 2: Artwork Blockchain Technology, a highly a claimed book that is
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show, Mark Beckman, Let's talk about your
Speaker 2: book Some Future Day, How Ai Is Going to Change Everything.
Speaker 2: It's good to have you on the Morning show.
Speaker 12: Good morning, Thank you so much for having me, and
Speaker 12: thank you for that very very nice introduction.
Speaker 2: I appreciate it well, and you know, based on your
Speaker 2: resume it was quite abbreviated. I tried to get the key,
Speaker 2: but it is impressive what you've been able to do.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about AI. I'm old enough to remember when
Speaker 2: it was a big thing that IBM invented Big Blue,
Speaker 2: which actually beat a human being in the game of chess.
Speaker 2: That's peanuts compared to what this stuff can do today.
Speaker 2: And I think, and I know your book presents I
Speaker 2: think in an optimistic way, how this is going to benefit,
Speaker 2: you know, the masses, But I think most people are
Speaker 2: afraid of it, like I'm going to be out of
Speaker 2: a job, kind of afraid.
Speaker 12: Well, you know, it's for sure. People are concerned as
Speaker 12: they are with every technology and what my book does,
Speaker 12: and I think your audience would appreciate it. I'm sure
Speaker 12: there are tons of people in your audience who are
Speaker 12: smart and curious and beginners. And for those beginners who
Speaker 12: are interested in learning how they can enhance their career,
Speaker 12: make more money, improve their family life, improve their communities,
Speaker 12: my book brings those beginners into the world of artificial intelligence,
Speaker 12: and after chapter I actually provide the reader with tools
Speaker 12: that they can use today to start implementing. Whether that
Speaker 12: means they want to learn how to create new artwork
Speaker 12: or write a song, or how to you know, create
Speaker 12: more efficiencies at work with emails and writing even business.
Speaker 12: You know, so many of us struggle. We have a
Speaker 12: new business idea, but we don't want to write the
Speaker 12: business plan. I mean now, literally, with these new tools,
Speaker 12: we can write a business plan in a matter of minutes.
Speaker 12: It's incredible. So I lay that all out in my
Speaker 12: new book some future day, how AI is going to
Speaker 12: change everything? And you know, obviously it's on Amazon, Barnes
Speaker 12: and Noble, target all the big booksellers. But it's pretty straightforward,
Speaker 12: and that's why I'm very optimistic about it. I think
Speaker 12: that this will have very very positive implications to everybody.
Speaker 2: Hey, and your book also is available on blog page
Speaker 2: if if you five Caresey dot com always put the book,
Speaker 2: author's books and a link to buy them on my
Speaker 2: blog page. So that's one more mechanism so my listeners
Speaker 2: can always remember that. Now, I guess my concern on
Speaker 2: this and I practiced law for a long time, sixteen years.
Speaker 2: I've been on the radio for nineteen but prior to that,
Speaker 2: sixteen years of practicing law, and I know they're using
Speaker 2: AI to create legal briefs. Part of the thing about
Speaker 2: being a lawyer was it required critical thinking analysis. You
Speaker 2: had to do the work yourself, which helped you improve
Speaker 2: the case, manage the direction of the arguments and articulating them.
Speaker 2: It helped the juices in the brain flow, and I
Speaker 2: think that benefit of the client. And when you talk
Speaker 2: about like having it write a business plan, if you
Speaker 2: got a great idea for a business, isn't part of
Speaker 2: developing the business itself sitting down and contemplating as you
Speaker 2: write a business plan to help you steer the direction
Speaker 2: of the business model. I mean it forces you to think,
Speaker 2: I just worry about AI maybe dumbing us down. It
Speaker 2: doesn't require It takes away the logic and the creative
Speaker 2: component that your brain works on, and I think that
Speaker 2: part benefits you and helps you develop as a person.
Speaker 12: So it's a great question, particularly for me because my
Speaker 12: background is law as well. And yeah, so I'll tell
Speaker 12: you something cool on one of my episodes. I'd love
Speaker 12: to send it to you somehow. But on one of
Speaker 12: my episodes on my show Some Future Day on youtubet,
Speaker 12: I introduced to my audience the first political figure who
Speaker 12: uses artificial intelligence to draft a bill. And you can imagine.
Speaker 2: His name is Clyde Vanelle.
Speaker 12: He's here in New York City and you can imagine
Speaker 12: Assemblyman Clyde got into a lot of trouble. His constituency
Speaker 12: went ballistic on him. But what he admitted was that
Speaker 12: he had to go and apply that personal touch that
Speaker 12: you were talking about, your concern his creativity. At the
Speaker 12: end of the day, and I write about this in
Speaker 12: my book too. If you look at machine versus man,
Speaker 12: man still wins that creative element. You're right, we could
Speaker 12: be creative with artificial intelligence, but it's not going to
Speaker 12: get that emotional connection. You can't break through the way
Speaker 12: Bob Dylan does. You can't break through the way Pablo
Speaker 12: Picasso does. So for sure humans will beat the machines
Speaker 12: every single time. And I get into like some fun stories.
Speaker 12: The book isn't just technical with regards to say, use
Speaker 12: this tool if you want to create a painting, use
Speaker 12: this tool if you want to create a photograph. But
Speaker 12: I get into like these types of stories and issues too,
Speaker 12: and I get and I go deep into the idea
Speaker 12: of like the human spirit, our ability as creators to
Speaker 12: touch emotion is far superior than algebra. And at the
Speaker 12: end of the day, AI is literally algebra. It's predicting.
Speaker 12: So I'm with you on that humans are going to
Speaker 12: beat machines all day long.
Speaker 2: Well, and you know, in terms of drafting a bill,
Speaker 2: I you know, understand how legislative drafting is done. You
Speaker 2: take the codea FEDER regulations for example, you need to
Speaker 2: see a bill out of Congress. You have to refer
Speaker 2: back to the original coda of FEDER Regulations to see
Speaker 2: what you're reg stated. They never incorporate that language into
Speaker 2: a new builder work and on, They just change things
Speaker 2: within it. So artificial intelligence can go a long way
Speaker 2: because it can easily digest thousands and thousands of pages
Speaker 2: of rags and make sure what you're writing now you
Speaker 2: know it goes, you know, falls in line with what's
Speaker 2: already on the book. So that is a great advance.
Speaker 2: It takes out the human error component of that and
Speaker 2: a lot of man hours or hours of work. But
Speaker 2: you know, I, I guess I wonder in terms of
Speaker 2: other things like, well, maybe human error we have to
Speaker 2: worry about that, and it takes out that element of
Speaker 2: human error. But these artificial intelligence platforms are programmed by humans.
Speaker 2: So you got that whole garbage in, garbage out kind
Speaker 2: of concern, and we've seen some of that pop up
Speaker 2: with artificial intelligence being rolled out, Like, how come there's
Speaker 2: so much bias in one direction with everything this system
Speaker 2: turns out like chat GPT for example.
Speaker 6: That's a great question.
Speaker 12: So my book gets into this issue. It's a real issue,
Speaker 12: the idea of racism, sexism, and bias. And what you're
Speaker 12: talking about is the way that these lms, these large
Speaker 12: language models are trained, and when they're trained effectively, what's
Speaker 12: happening is for your audience, the tech companies like open
Speaker 12: Ai and Microsoft that are building the llms, they're taking
Speaker 12: a corpus of information and data from humanity and feeding
Speaker 12: them into the computer to give the effectively the intelligence,
Speaker 12: the artificial intelligence life.
Speaker 9: But let's face it, a.
Speaker 12: Lot of that information is not just faulty in the
Speaker 12: way that you spoke about garbage in garbage out, but
Speaker 12: it's also missing huge blocks of data. So think in
Speaker 12: terms of like the mid century, nineteen fifties, when certain
Speaker 12: parts of our population weren't included, weren't even able to
Speaker 12: draft certain research papers and research studies. So if you
Speaker 12: look at, for example, the Nobel Prize winners going through
Speaker 12: the forties and the fifties, they're typically just representative of
Speaker 12: one gender, of one skin color, and we're missing out
Speaker 12: a ton of points of view. There are no women
Speaker 12: winners in the Noble Award arena in the nineteen fifties
Speaker 12: because they weren't allowed to participate. So the other issue
Speaker 12: that's never going to be fixable, it will always be biased.
Speaker 12: To your point, is the fact that those points of
Speaker 12: view are not included from that time period when these
Speaker 12: llms were trained. So it really is an issue, but
Speaker 12: it is getting better. So there's the issue of let's say,
Speaker 12: explicit bias, which I think is what you were focused on,
Speaker 12: But then there's this implicit bias which is going to
Speaker 12: stay forever.
Speaker 2: I'm talking with Mark Beckman offered the book some future
Speaker 2: day how AI is going to change everything? And any
Speaker 2: book you suggest that artificial intelligence might have the ability
Speaker 2: to strengthen family bonds and improve the quality of our
Speaker 2: home wives along. How so, how might that work out?
Speaker 2: And still what are you referring to?
Speaker 12: Okay, I love that you bring it up, and I'm
Speaker 12: going to give you an example of something that came
Speaker 12: my way. As you can imagine, because of the book,
Speaker 12: all I'm doing is meeting people who are coming at
Speaker 12: me and talking about artificial intelligence all day, every day
Speaker 12: and this is a crazy story, but it's true, and
Speaker 12: you know, maybe it's good. So there's a couple, a
Speaker 12: young couple probably in their thirties living in Texas that
Speaker 12: came to me and they were like, we want to
Speaker 12: tell you the story. We've been fighting like crazy, and
Speaker 12: I guess the husband has a lack of desire to
Speaker 12: be cooperative with his wife and go to a marriage counselor.
Speaker 12: So they negotiated and the deal is, believe it or not,
Speaker 12: it's nuts, is that chat Ept is the marriage counselor
Speaker 12: and every time they have an argument, they enter their
Speaker 12: argument into Chatchypt to find a resolution. And as weird
Speaker 12: as this sounds, it's true and it's been helping them marriage.
Speaker 12: So this is like one of the most bizarre, Like
Speaker 12: I definitely didn't write about this in the book, Like
Speaker 12: this wasn't something I expected. But people are becoming creative
Speaker 12: and now they're using chatch Ept to have a better
Speaker 12: married life.
Speaker 2: That's unusual, you know, taking the place of a therapist.
Speaker 2: And I can hear people in therapy community going, oh
Speaker 2: my god, AI is going to put me out of business.
Speaker 2: But that takes out that human element, you know, if
Speaker 2: I meet you in person, we sit down and we talk.
Speaker 2: I can gauge the type of person you are. I
Speaker 2: can see how you react to different situations. I can
Speaker 2: understand your emotions and how you know maybe maybe you're
Speaker 2: you fly off the handle quickly or you react differently
Speaker 2: different based on different subject matters. And I don't understand
Speaker 2: how artificial intelligence can can can grasp that human element.
Speaker 2: You type of question in my wife and I are
Speaker 2: fighting about this, that doesn't really fully appreciate the whole
Speaker 2: situation that's going on.
Speaker 12: I want to take you a little further down this path. Sure,
Speaker 12: so I think in terms of a well, first of all,
Speaker 12: I want to tell you there will inevitably be a
Speaker 12: whole You keep referring to job loss, and there will
Speaker 12: definitely be a huge elimination of jobs, white collar jobs, professionals.
Speaker 2: Lawyers, and the like.
Speaker 12: And there have already been great advances, and I talk
Speaker 12: about this in the book. I break out different business
Speaker 12: sectors in the book, finance, medicine, the creative industries fashion, art, music, Hollywood,
Speaker 12: and there have been tremendous advances in the medical industry,
Speaker 12: for example, think in terms of discovering diagnosing illnesses, Google
Speaker 12: created a vertical called amy. It's a type of artificial
Speaker 12: intelligence that they've trained and almost with one hundred percent accuracy.
Speaker 12: Now they could discover and diagnose rare diseases and old
Speaker 12: diseases that have even been eliminated from society. So they're
Speaker 12: doing great with that. But think about this. Imagine if
Speaker 12: you have a child who is ten years old and
Speaker 12: she's starting to struggle with some issues. Use artificial intelligence
Speaker 12: to diagnose what your child's mental illness might be, and
Speaker 12: then from there you can go to a doctor and
Speaker 12: start working with a doctor. Well, the child will also
Speaker 12: have at you know, I think eventually really soon, actually,
Speaker 12: like it's on us now, an AI agent which could
Speaker 12: work with them in so many different ways. And that
Speaker 12: AI agent that could serve almost as like a technological
Speaker 12: like robotic type of therapists, will also remember all of
Speaker 12: your child's issues. The child might feel freer speaking to
Speaker 12: something that is just a robot, let's say, versus any human,
Speaker 12: and that that artificial intelligence will remember all of your
Speaker 12: child's fears and frailties and issues and problems to take
Speaker 12: that along with her for her entire life. They're going
Speaker 12: to see the same thing change as it relates to
Speaker 12: education tutors, where you know forever the artificial intelligence will
Speaker 12: build and work with your child in different ways. From
Speaker 12: an academic perspective, they'll build on it through years and
Speaker 12: years and years of fostering a relationship and training itself
Speaker 12: in a specialized way. I can see that specifate to
Speaker 12: your child's needs. So again these are like foreign concepts,
Speaker 12: but there could be benefits. And again my perspective is
Speaker 12: AI is simply a tool. It's only math, and it
Speaker 12: should be not It should not be replacing the professionals
Speaker 12: and the humans. But if the if the professionals could
Speaker 12: use them as a tool, it could provide our society
Speaker 12: with tremendous benefits.
Speaker 2: Lots of take in here, get a copy of it
Speaker 2: some future day. How AI is going to change everything.
Speaker 2: It's been a pleasure talking with you, Mark Beckman. Really
Speaker 2: appreciate the time you spit my listeners to me, and
Speaker 2: I'm sure they're going to grab up a copy of
Speaker 2: that book fifty five cares dot com to do. So,

Speaker 2: get on the FBI advisory list that sound advice from
Speaker 2: Dave hat Or. That way you can be proactive in
Speaker 2: avoiding the dangers out there, including the new ransomware attacks
Speaker 2: and the creative ways that these nefarious actors are going
Speaker 2: about ripping you off or seeking to rip you off,

Speaker 2: that kind of thing. Course stables from the Taxpayer Protection Alliance.
Speaker 2: His thoughts on Trump's adressed to Congress, and of course
Speaker 2: a message to the postal system. There are ways to
Speaker 2: reform the postal SYSM, which is no one seems to
Speaker 2: really want to do it. There's a sending your contemplating
Speaker 2: artificial intelligence, and it just makes me I remember the
Speaker 2: days when you have to have to dictate a letter
Speaker 2: and you do it in your little cassette recorder and
Speaker 2: send it over to your administrative assystem and that will
Speaker 2: be typed of and then you would do addits to
Speaker 2: it and send it back into the old days. Things
Speaker 2: move so much slower, I know, a lot faster in
Speaker 2: my lifetime than the generation prior to mine. But I
Speaker 2: kind of missed those days, and I kind of look
Speaker 2: look at look at artificial intelligence with a bit of
Speaker 2: skepticism and concern. And just as I was talking to
Speaker 2: Mark Beckman and again you can get his book on
Speaker 2: my blog page, I wrote down trades see's the one
Speaker 2: thing that artificial intelligence is not going to take away
Speaker 2: is the need for people who actually can fix things.
Speaker 2: As a South Park episode of that, the plumbers and
Speaker 2: the repair people ended up being the multi millionaires of
Speaker 2: the world because people didn't know how to fix things anymore.
Speaker 2: So just the thought, although I would agree that artificial
Speaker 2: intelligence can help the trades because if you run into
Speaker 2: a problem, if you're a plumber and you run into
Speaker 2: a problem, maybe you can enter it into AI and
Speaker 2: it can offer you a solution on the fly that
Speaker 2: won't require you to think about it very much. But
Speaker 2: the other thing I was thinking about is DEI doctors.
Speaker 2: Now everybody's concerned about you. You pass somebody through high
Speaker 2: school and they don't even know how to read, and
Speaker 2: because of DEI initiatives or whatever, they make it all
Speaker 2: the way into med school and you have to keep
Speaker 2: them there because of course DEI requires you to have
Speaker 2: certain you know, quotas or whatever, even though they may
Speaker 2: not have a mastery of the difficult realities of what
Speaker 2: it is to be a doctor. But if you're relying
Speaker 2: on artificial intelligence, it can, like he said, as far
Speaker 2: as you know, keeping records of what your anxieties and
Speaker 2: concerns and fears are it's going to have a perfect
Speaker 2: record of all that, well, all that's out there in
Speaker 2: the ether. You know, your diagnostician only has so much
Speaker 2: in his or her head. And of course, if you've
Speaker 2: got people who are not as smart actually practicing medicine,
Speaker 2: that puts you at a little lever of concern. But
Speaker 2: if they have access artificial intelligence, maybe that equals the
Speaker 2: playing field to a certain degree and you don't have
Speaker 2: to worry as much. No, I plugged it into AI,
Speaker 2: and here's what I figured out the problem is, or
Speaker 2: what it figured out your problem is. I have dear
Speaker 2: friends and relatives who have struggled with certain medical issues,
Speaker 2: and they've been through every test known to man mankind,
Speaker 2: and they haven't had their problem solved yet. Maybe there's
Speaker 2: an answer out there in that ether, that giant, massive
Speaker 2: information that the ones and zeros have accumulated in this
Speaker 2: artificial intelligence that may ultimately provide the answer. I don't know,
Speaker 2: just random thoughts and musings, but I still miss the
Speaker 2: days where we had to put a stamp on a
Speaker 2: letter and communicate that way back and forth. So fifty

Speaker 2: of the Truth with John Gordon. Of course it's John Gordon. John,
Speaker 2: welcome back to the morning show. It's great to have
Speaker 2: you on today.
Speaker 6: Thank you very much. It's great to be with you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we dive into the news of late I Congress.
Speaker 2: A mess who was on my program earlier this week
Speaker 2: and he called it and he's like pressing his predictions.
Speaker 2: You know, he wasn't in favor of the CR because
Speaker 2: it continues funding levels on the Biden levels and didn't
Speaker 2: cut much at all. So that was why he was
Speaker 2: a no vote. He was very explicit and did a
Speaker 2: good job of explaining himself in spite of the fact
Speaker 2: that drew the ira of Donald Trump. But it done
Speaker 2: the last passed over in the sentence hands and according
Speaker 2: to Chucky Schumer, at least before yesterday evening, it was
Speaker 2: going to be a no over there, which is going
Speaker 2: to result in a government shutdown. But Chucky, she changed
Speaker 2: his tune and they're going to capitulate, which is exactly
Speaker 2: what Massey predicted. I don't know why they were against
Speaker 2: it anyway, since the funding levels didn't change your take
Speaker 2: on that one, John.
Speaker 6: They are the party of opposition. If Trump's for it,
Speaker 6: they're against it, even if it's what they want to
Speaker 6: your point, and it's just lunacy, and frankly I think
Speaker 6: they are. I think they're stark, raving mad. And I
Speaker 6: like Massey and what he stands for. I like Ran
Speaker 6: Paul and what he stands for. This country is at
Speaker 6: a tipping point if we don't get control of underal spending,
Speaker 6: the interest statements on the deficit, the loan are now
Speaker 6: our single largest line item. That is pure economic waste
Speaker 6: in my view. So I understand the cinema. Here's the counter.
Speaker 6: Trump is walking a high wire act and this economy
Speaker 6: is fragile. And you take two trillion dollars out of
Speaker 6: the economy overnight and it implodes. We would go into
Speaker 6: a depression of magnitude that we've never witnessed before. So
Speaker 6: Trump wants to balance a budget.
Speaker 9: He's all for it.
Speaker 6: It's going to take some time, it's going to take
Speaker 6: a little for mess.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know, I guess the two trillion you're
Speaker 2: talking about taking out of the economy is that the
Speaker 2: market losses or is that the what is coming out
Speaker 2: of government by way of you know, propping up various
Speaker 2: areas like the green energy projects. If we pull the
Speaker 2: plug on that's the EPA effectively did the other day
Speaker 2: as they were promising to do. Does that ruin the
Speaker 2: economy because there's no longer these artificial government dollar propped
Speaker 2: up jobs out there.
Speaker 6: You illustrate the point perfectly. That's it. And you know
Speaker 6: when the economy gets in trouble. What's the first thing
Speaker 6: the Federal Reserve starts to do. They print money like
Speaker 6: drunken sailors. They start issuing bonds, they start buying their
Speaker 6: own bonds, and they prop up the economy through what
Speaker 6: they call stimulus. Well if that's if that works, then
Speaker 6: the reverse is going to have an adverse attack. So
Speaker 6: you take that money out of the economy, you plunge
Speaker 6: us into a recession. So it is going like Trump says,
Speaker 6: it's going to take some time, but he's committed to
Speaker 6: the cause. We'll get there. I think we just attributation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be an interesting world if we
Speaker 2: get the government out of our lives and allow the
Speaker 2: free markets to prosper and thrive. Will that make up
Speaker 2: this government infused fake economy? Like DEI alone is its
Speaker 2: own fake economy. You got a lot of people out
Speaker 2: there with college degrees and in diversity, equity inclusion, they
Speaker 2: need jobs.
Speaker 6: So what do you do.
Speaker 2: You mandate these programs across the entire landscape, which creates
Speaker 2: new departments and new divisions within business. But those do
Speaker 2: not provide any value in terms of revenue, in terms
Speaker 2: of creating goods and services. It's just busy work, and
Speaker 2: it's fake work.
Speaker 6: I think you took the same economics courses I did.
Speaker 9: Well.
Speaker 6: The government produces nothing. They don't add to G and T.
Speaker 6: All they do is spend, and so there's no value
Speaker 6: in that except when they when they're the job creators,
Speaker 6: there's value. But it's fake, it's it'sponing. It's short term.
Speaker 6: But so if you take two trillion out of the
Speaker 6: budget and it's not that and you put that money
Speaker 6: back in the economy, then muel the economy. But right now,
Speaker 6: the only alternative is take the deficit out, and that's
Speaker 6: what would have the unintended consequence of some bad economic repercussions.
Speaker 12: I believe.
Speaker 6: But if Musk can reduce the spending through DOGE and
Speaker 6: those are real dollars, yea, and they go back into
Speaker 6: the private sector, watch out, baby, let the good times roll.
Speaker 8: Well.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you pivoted over to DOGE because they are
Speaker 2: revealing that we fund the indefensible I mean one program,
Speaker 2: I mean little here, little there. It all tends to
Speaker 2: add up even you know, multi hundreds of thousands of dollars,
Speaker 2: you know, seven hundred thousand dollars for studying cannabis use
Speaker 2: among sexual, minority, gender diverse individuals. I mean, what the
Speaker 2: hell is that all about.
Speaker 6: We've got transgender studies on mice, yeah, yeah, yeah, And
Speaker 6: then I can't believe we're even talking about this. I know,
Speaker 6: I feel like a lunatic that we're even talking about it. Yeah,
Speaker 6: but these are our federal tax dollars at work, and
Speaker 6: it's just absurd. That's why I say, I think these
Speaker 6: people have lost their minds. I think they're absolutely I
Speaker 6: know no better descriptor for it.
Speaker 2: Well, John, I'm convinced more and more every single day
Speaker 2: that they are outraged over this, and because it's cutting
Speaker 2: off his revelations and he's canceling all these grants again,
Speaker 2: there's a AGRI Department of Agriculture grant in the San
Speaker 2: Francisco Bay area to educate queer trands and BIPOC urban
Speaker 2: farmers about food justice. I don't even know what the
Speaker 2: hell that is. And it's probably if.
Speaker 6: You're a straight guy and you're a farmer, you can't
Speaker 6: get the subsidy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's urban farmers. I mean, first off, how
Speaker 2: many BIPOC queer trans urban farmers are there collectively in
Speaker 2: the United States, but then they could get a grant
Speaker 2: to study what they're doing. I don't even know what
Speaker 2: food justice is. But the big concern here all these
Speaker 2: USA programs that allegedly go out into the world, you know,
Speaker 2: circumcisions in Jakarta or whatever. I'm convinced that that money
Speaker 2: never got there, and that didn't accomplish the goal that
Speaker 2: it purported to accomplish, even if the goal itself was ludicrous.
Speaker 2: But that money remained in Washington for hobbying dollars that
Speaker 2: ended up in the pockets and Democrats to get themselves
Speaker 2: re elected or otherwise directly in their pockets.
Speaker 6: Joe Biden said, we just sent one hundred and fifty
Speaker 6: billion to the Ukraine. What did Zelenski say, where's the
Speaker 6: rest of it? I only saw a hundred billion.
Speaker 4: M h.
Speaker 6: I'm telling you this federal government is rotten to its core.
Speaker 6: And I think before it's all said and done, we're
Speaker 6: going to trace the money and we're going to find
Speaker 6: that it went right back into the pockets of these
Speaker 6: lunatic left wing Democrats who have been voting for all
Speaker 6: of this irrational spending. And I've said for the last
Speaker 6: four years on my radio show. I don't know who
Speaker 6: they're governing corps, but its sure as hell.
Speaker 9: Is not us.
Speaker 2: It is not and it's going to stop, and it's
Speaker 2: freaking them out. The Doge is actually bringing this to
Speaker 2: the American public attention. This is low hanging fruit stuff.
Speaker 12: Again.
Speaker 2: You add it all up, and we're not getting to
Speaker 2: that trillion dollar mark but a little by little. But
Speaker 2: you let any Republican or Democrat, any working human being
Speaker 2: in the country, and even those that aren't working, they
Speaker 2: look at this and they think, just like you and me,
Speaker 2: what we're paying for that? How is that even possible?
Speaker 2: So this is going to bring the House of cards
Speaker 2: down at some point. They're not going to go to
Speaker 2: justify it.
Speaker 6: Well, I think that they're on it, and I think
Speaker 6: that's why they're launching this campaign against Elon Musk. Well,
Speaker 6: where are the prosecutions, by the way, for the people
Speaker 6: that have burned tesla's and that are used rifles and
Speaker 6: shot bullets into dealerships. Yeah, I mean, come on, that
Speaker 6: is absolute anarchy. Yeah, some people.
Speaker 2: Locked up and he was the darling of the green
Speaker 2: energy folks there for a long long time. He was
Speaker 2: the leader of the pack everybody wanted an Elon Musk tesla,
Speaker 2: and now it's demonized because he's shown the world how
Speaker 2: bad things are. I mean, pivoting over to Social Security, John,
Speaker 2: all those social Security numbers for people who are one
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty plus years old, they're still active and
Speaker 2: therefore probably being used by some perhaps illegal person in
Speaker 2: this country with no work permit to actually go work
Speaker 2: at a job. I mean, even if a check isn't
Speaker 2: going out to that number, it certainly can be used
Speaker 2: for nefarious purposes. You know, PPP grants to eleven year olds.
Speaker 2: They don't care about normal business like practices in government.
Speaker 2: They're not required to do anything. But then again they're
Speaker 2: also not required to be responsible stewards of the American
Speaker 2: taxpayer dollar.
Speaker 6: Well, we sensed it for a long time. Now we've
Speaker 6: got plain proof of it. And can you imagine people
Speaker 6: railing against Elon Musk because it's eliminating fraud, waste and abuse.
Speaker 6: Is James Carvel said, is that the who you want
Speaker 6: to die on as a Democrat, we're going to oppose that. Yes, Well,
Speaker 6: I want them to keep doing what they're doing because
Speaker 6: their approval ratings continue to plummet. Let them just put
Speaker 6: the new around their necks and let them tighten it themselves,
Speaker 6: which is what they're doing.
Speaker 2: Indeed, and I got a kick out of Schumer yesterday Democrats.
Speaker 2: He said, we want the attention to the American people,
Speaker 2: not focus on different bills that they will bring to
Speaker 2: the floor during the shutdown. They were talking about thirty
Speaker 2: day extensions, this and maybe alternatives that to the Republican
Speaker 2: c are We'd rather focus on our message, which is
Speaker 2: beginning to work. And I was scratching my head over that.
Speaker 2: That's a quote from him. I was like, what message?
Speaker 2: And apparently it's in his words, they meaning the Republicans
Speaker 2: are hurting the middle class to give tax breaks to
Speaker 2: the billionaires. That tired old trope is that all they've got.
Speaker 2: They have no message.
Speaker 6: John Well, if you listen to them, their focus is
Speaker 6: on the message. They are trying one message. When that
Speaker 6: doesn't work, they skip to the next lunatic statement to make.
Speaker 6: And it's all about the message. I don't care about
Speaker 6: the message, I care about the substance. I want to
Speaker 6: curtail government spending. I want to curtain fraud and get
Speaker 6: the one hundred and fifty year olds off the social
Speaker 6: security roles. If we have to really stand up and
Speaker 6: talk about that in the public marketplace for ideas, we
Speaker 6: are in serious trouble. I mean, it is self evident.
Speaker 6: Just stop the lunacy and start governing to the American
Speaker 6: people and then all the problems are solved. Will welcome
Speaker 6: and embrace the Democrats into a free exchange for ideas
Speaker 6: and stop the gainsmanship because it's killing us.
Speaker 2: It is and one of the big problems with our
Speaker 2: country the way it set up is the intitoment program
Speaker 2: social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. That's the true existential thread.
Speaker 2: Those are set to collapse on themselves and the deficit,
Speaker 2: as you point out, we're paying a trillion dollars a
Speaker 2: year in interest on this. You know, if we don't
Speaker 2: write the ship, there's not going to be a United
Speaker 2: States around the Fiat. Currency's going to collapse. No one's
Speaker 2: going to I want to buy our bonds. We aren't
Speaker 2: going to be able to keep this this house of cards.
Speaker 2: Even standing to the world's demise.
Speaker 6: I think the adults are in the room now. I
Speaker 6: am very optimistic that we're going to get things turned around.
Speaker 6: You've seen John Fetterman abandoned the Democratic ship, the sinking ship.
Speaker 6: He doesn't want to be on the Titanic, and others
Speaker 6: are going to slowly, one by one listen to reason
Speaker 6: and do the right thing. It'll take some process and
Speaker 6: some time, but I do think we'll get there eventually.
Speaker 6: What every Republican in America needs to be focused on
Speaker 6: right here and right now is the midterm election. Since
Speaker 6: Ronald Reagan, Republicans, well any sitting president has lost control
Speaker 6: of the Congress in the midterm elections. If we're not
Speaker 6: focused on that, we're going to wake up in two
Speaker 6: years really disappointed that we allowed complacency to slip back
Speaker 6: into US national psyching.
Speaker 2: Hey man, John Gordon, check it out. Host of the
Speaker 2: Truth with John Gordon. Great having you back on the program.
Speaker 2: John will be listening to what you have to say,

Speaker 2: I'm just against mandatory evs. So you got one, you
Speaker 2: want to put a charger in your house, probably going
Speaker 2: to need a service upgrade. So right now Colling Electric,
Speaker 2: responding to the new code changes that were implemented last

Speaker 2: percent off the total job costs can save you thousands
Speaker 2: of dollars, So it's the Power Up your Home sale.
Speaker 2: Great savings on the service upgrade from Colin Electric. This
Speaker 2: count is applicable to above ground or below ground residential

Speaker 2: from the conversations early today and the other ones, and
Speaker 2: also your iHeartMedia app so you can stream the content
Speaker 2: where we happen to be. Let's get to Jeff. Jeff,
Speaker 2: thanks for calling today and a happy Friday to you,
Speaker 2: my friend.
Speaker 6: Good morning, Brian. As always, you and Joe are true
Speaker 6: patrious buddy.
Speaker 2: Appreciate hearing that every time you say it. Jeff, thank
Speaker 2: you very much.
Speaker 16: Yeah, I love that author that was on about AI.
Speaker 16: My friend Thomas who passed away last month. It was
Speaker 16: pretty pretty.
Speaker 10: Rough on me.
Speaker 16: But he was a huge advocate to AI since he
Speaker 16: was a marketing guy, and he said, you know, Jeff, AI,
Speaker 16: no one should be really afraid of because it's just
Speaker 16: another tool. You can always use something for bad things,
Speaker 16: but hopefully more people use it for good things. Now,
Speaker 16: when I look at AI, I see a thing that's
Speaker 16: going to slap common sense across my head. You know, like, oh,
Speaker 16: by the way, is a streetcar a good idea?
Speaker 12: It'll probably say no.
Speaker 2: If it's honest. Ye's right, because presumably you'll have all
Speaker 2: the access to all the studies would show that those
Speaker 2: do not bring value to any city. They merely consume capital, right.
Speaker 16: I mean, I think I might have told you years ago.
Speaker 6: I went to.
Speaker 16: San Francisco for a couple of weeks. You can say,
Speaker 16: I'm sorry, Jeff, but that's okay, that's right. Anyway, and
Speaker 16: every streetcar that they used there had little plaques inside
Speaker 16: of them that said, oh, by the way, this streetcar
Speaker 16: was donated by this city when its streetcar went out
Speaker 16: of business. Okay, we were just like, okay, So you
Speaker 16: have dozens of street cars that came from all over
Speaker 16: the United States that went out of business.
Speaker 11: It's okay, so anyway, but also a I.
Speaker 16: Would tell you and me, yeah, I know someone let
Speaker 16: me see.
Speaker 6: Who was in our lives?
Speaker 16: Oh right, our mom told us that if you make
Speaker 16: twenty dollars, guess how much you can spend twenty dollars.
Speaker 6: You can't spend.
Speaker 16: Twenty one, can't been twenty two, can't spend a billion,
Speaker 16: you spend twenty dollars. I mean, AI is really just
Speaker 16: common sense, people, and it's going to do it very
Speaker 16: fast and very efficiently like those you're showing us. But
Speaker 16: it's gonna be a swift kicking the head to anyone
Speaker 16: that does understand what common sense is.
Speaker 2: Well, Jeff, I do appreciate your optimistic take on artificial intelligence.
Speaker 2: And as long as it is in programmed to lie
Speaker 2: to us, which some have concerns about, then you're right
Speaker 2: it would do. That's that throw in artificial intelligence the
Speaker 2: mathematics behind how we got to the massive hole we've
Speaker 2: dug ourselves in what it means to pay one trillion
Speaker 2: dollars and growing annually on debt service, and maybe it'll
Speaker 2: churn out something how long our country has to go
Speaker 2: if we continue on this trajectory, I would imagine it
Speaker 2: will be a short short term. Thanks Jeff, have a
Speaker 2: great weekend, appreciate the call. Next up, got empower. Are
Speaker 2: you similar to talk about with Leuyenn Horribin It's March eighteenth.
Speaker 2: How to transform our perspectives, attitudes, and behaviors should be interesting.
Speaker 2: Science of psychological change would deal with that. Next, don't
Speaker 2: go away.
Speaker 5: This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 15: I'm Heather Pasco in fifty five krc.
Speaker 2: The Talk Station, a twenty nine fifty five KRCD talk
Speaker 2: station at the Friday love my Fridays here in the
Speaker 2: morning show, and I love the empower You Seminar series.
Speaker 2: I'm just a huge fan of what Dan Reaganold has
Speaker 2: been able to do over the years with these wonderful
Speaker 2: learning opportunities empower You America dot org. You can always
Speaker 2: stream the courses from your home or show up in
Speaker 2: the empower You studios for most of them, and one
Speaker 2: that's coming up March eighteenth is going to be done
Speaker 2: by Luann Harbin, my next guest. She is described as
Speaker 2: one of sixteen hundred ICF Master Coaches, Executive and Leadership Coach,
Speaker 2: career accelerator, transformational consultant, teacher and facilitator. She's going to
Speaker 2: help you deal with your own self limiting beliefs with
Speaker 2: self empowering beliefs. Leuien, it's a pleasure to have you
Speaker 2: on the morning.
Speaker 4: Show, going thank you, it's a pleasure to be here
Speaker 4: this morning.
Speaker 2: Well, let's start off with what is an ICF Master
Speaker 2: Coach if.
Speaker 4: I may ask, Oh, okay, it's the International Coach Federation.
Speaker 4: It's a global organization that certifies coaches and a master
Speaker 4: coaches a designation that is achieved through the number of
Speaker 4: hours of experience as well as the training exams, those
Speaker 4: kinds of things.
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, now you talk about in this
Speaker 2: class is going to obviously delve into a much deeper
Speaker 2: but our perspectives, attitudes, and behaviors impact ourselves and how
Speaker 2: we deal with life. And I guess we're really not
Speaker 2: meant to go through life feeling anxious, disconnected, insecure, cluttered, chronically,
Speaker 2: stressed and worried and said most of the time that
Speaker 2: obviously interferes with our enjoyment of life, but also our
Speaker 2: ability to accomplish our task at our job and work
Speaker 2: and elsewhere, our relationships with our families. What is it about?
Speaker 2: What you're teaching this science of psychological change that can
Speaker 2: help us address these issues.
Speaker 4: So from understanding the science of psychological change, we can
Speaker 4: actually understand how we are being triggered, because quite often
Speaker 4: when we're triggered into those states of anxiety that interfere
Speaker 4: with what we're going on, it's because we have a
Speaker 4: belief that is affecting how we see the situation. It's
Speaker 4: our awareness. We're perceiving it a certain way, but there's
Speaker 4: actually other ways of perceiving it. And if we were
Speaker 4: to get to the actual root of it, the way
Speaker 4: we perceive it actually stems from and triggers are brain chemistry.
Speaker 4: So there's a certain brain chemistry that allows us to
Speaker 4: see challenge as an opportunity as you know, Okay, I
Speaker 4: just have to level up here, or it can also
Speaker 4: have the impression of oh no, this is like daunting
Speaker 4: to me, This is overwhelming to me. It's like the
Speaker 4: situation is bigger than me. That's actually comes from just
Speaker 4: how we perceive it, which triggers those two different brain chemistries.
Speaker 4: So what I work with is actually helping people, first
Speaker 4: of all, understand this is a perspective, how can we
Speaker 4: see this differently and how can we work with it
Speaker 4: differently and which can lead to a different experience, which
Speaker 4: leads to a different outcome.
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough? Can you give like a real
Speaker 2: life illustration of this concept. I know in the notes
Speaker 2: agism is mentioned, but you know something you've dealt with,
Speaker 2: perhaps regularly throughout your career, dealing with this, Yeah.
Speaker 4: That's true. Agis Agism actually is one of the ways
Speaker 4: that it is dealt with in that we can have
Speaker 4: a limiting belief that there are factors of our age
Speaker 4: that have us, let's say, not be able to do
Speaker 4: certain things, but actually so and sometimes there's a perception
Speaker 4: that agism might be affecting us what's safe, for example,
Speaker 4: in the workplace, And actually it's true that people have
Speaker 4: different strengths, and sometimes what we want to look for is,
Speaker 4: really where are our strengths. So if we were to
Speaker 4: perceive a situation as well, if I applied for this
Speaker 4: particular position, I'm going to be maybe maybe rejected because
Speaker 4: of my age. But actually what we can look at is, so,
Speaker 4: really where are my strengths? And really is this the
Speaker 4: best for me?
Speaker 6: And where can I go?
Speaker 4: I always say, there's a question who needs to know?
Speaker 4: I've already learned. So basically, if I had a different
Speaker 4: perspective on that, rather than seeing that as a rejection
Speaker 4: type of thing, I can see it as a redirection
Speaker 4: into where where's the better fit for me? And whatever?
Speaker 4: I won't likely to succeed. Who's looking for what I
Speaker 4: got rather than trying to And I've worked with that
Speaker 4: anxiety about well I'm not going to get a job.
Speaker 4: It's actually just recognizing more of like what really is
Speaker 4: my change? So that actually comes from how we how
Speaker 4: we perceive that situation.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, on a certain level, I mean I think
Speaker 2: one has to step outside of one's selves and be
Speaker 2: very objective about where one is. I mean age, for example,
Speaker 2: I view is of value because life experience in and
Speaker 2: of itself is a tremendous value. You've seen a lot
Speaker 2: of things that a younger person hasn't seen. You had
Speaker 2: to deal with a lot of circumstances they have not
Speaker 2: yet dealt with, so it provides you with greater level
Speaker 2: of confidence. So that's the way I would approach that.
Speaker 2: I would immediately say, well, I'm better qualified because simply
Speaker 2: because of my age. But this requires being objective about
Speaker 2: the circumstances. But also requires a tremendous amount of introspection,
Speaker 2: does it not?
Speaker 4: I would agree it requires a tremendous amount of introspection.
Speaker 4: And that's exactly you've actually articulated that very well. Because sometimes,
Speaker 4: for example, if we were to look at the job search,
Speaker 4: sometimes people are encouraged to, let's say, take years of
Speaker 4: experience off of their resume. Like, so let's say only
Speaker 4: show let's say fifteen years of experience when really we
Speaker 4: have over twenty. Well, there's a reason that we can
Speaker 4: apply for positions when we have twenty years of experience
Speaker 4: versus when we have ten or fifteen years of experience.
Speaker 4: And so it's like really recognizing, like seeing this perspective,
Speaker 4: is how am I using my strengths versus how am I?
Speaker 4: Kind of it's almost a little bit like putting the
Speaker 4: square peg into the round hole a bit.
Speaker 2: Okay, you have to have a greater sense of self worth.
Speaker 2: I mean it sounds like you're speaking to people that
Speaker 2: have sort of perhaps a negative view of themselves, self
Speaker 2: deprecating people for example.
Speaker 4: Well, I think that comes from a belief because we
Speaker 4: hear so much in society about agism, we don't really
Speaker 4: hear a lot of we don't really hear a lot
Speaker 4: of encouraging things, and so it's easy to it's actually
Speaker 4: easy to absorb that and think, you know, my chances
Speaker 4: are limited. Basically that's where beliefs comes in. Beliefs come in.
Speaker 4: I'm thinking my chances are limited before I've even kind
Speaker 4: of stepped into the water type of thing. Whereas what
Speaker 4: and that's where the chemistry comes in. Of when we're
Speaker 4: in that chemistry, we're not actually able to see solutions
Speaker 4: because it actually shuts down the solution part of the brain,
Speaker 4: oh to a certain extent, like it limits it. It's
Speaker 4: not firing the solution part of the brain, which is
Speaker 4: why when we're in that perspective, everything feels much more anxious,
Speaker 4: much more like a struggle. And so so basically there
Speaker 4: are ways of just converting that and kind of saying, okay,
Speaker 4: you can actually do simple body posture that can help
Speaker 4: to change that level of anxiety.
Speaker 2: So this is a brain this is a brain chemistry
Speaker 2: type of thing you're talking about, Well, well, yes.
Speaker 4: It is brain chemistry, yes, but and it stems from
Speaker 4: our beliefs because our beliefs, so our beliefs trigger there's
Speaker 4: certain things. So when we hear this in society. We
Speaker 4: are triggered by it, either maybe by an earlier experience
Speaker 4: that we've had in life, or maybe we were rejected
Speaker 4: for something that we really felt was a good fit
Speaker 4: for us, or that we just didn't understand why why
Speaker 4: it didn't work out. But when we change that sort
Speaker 4: of chemistry, we can kind of see, you know, we
Speaker 4: see it differently. We don't see it as a rejection
Speaker 4: as a loss. We see rejection as like a redirection.
Speaker 4: It's like, Okay, if this one doesn't work, that that
Speaker 4: means that's giving me feedback. But there's something else that
Speaker 4: actually will work better. And there are ways that say,
Speaker 4: for example, instead of taking you know, the twenty years
Speaker 4: of experience or twenty five years of experience off my resume,
Speaker 4: there's people who are looking for you know, they don't
Speaker 4: want to they don't sort of want to do the
Speaker 4: learning curve. They actually want someone who's gone through that
Speaker 4: learning curve. So it's looking for, you know, who needs
Speaker 4: to know what I've already learned type of things. Right,
Speaker 4: So recognizing my value and using my value versus thinking, oh,
Speaker 4: I have to take my value off because I'm not
Speaker 4: going to be chosen such a like the ladder one.
Speaker 4: That's the lemon taking brief right, all right.
Speaker 2: Empower you similar taking place March eighteenth at seven pm
Speaker 2: Empoweroamerica dot org. Leuyenn. I know you're going to talk
Speaker 2: about these concepts throughout the process, but you're also going
Speaker 2: to offer the attendees some daily practices to help them
Speaker 2: maintain this empowering perspective. Can you just offer perhaps one
Speaker 2: of those by way of illustration for my listeners to
Speaker 2: get a handle on that.
Speaker 4: Okay, so well, one of them that I will be
Speaker 4: talking about a fair bit is the use of questions,
Speaker 4: because the subconscious mind actually has to way the subconscious
Speaker 4: mind is programmed, it actually has to answer a question.
Speaker 4: So I'm going to talk about how to ask questions
Speaker 4: that will help us change how we see and experience things.
Speaker 4: And so that's one. Another one is there's some simple
Speaker 4: body postures that actually change the way the brain is
Speaker 4: kind of firing. And one of them is simply crossing
Speaker 4: our feet over and crossing our arms over and clasping
Speaker 4: our hands. The crossover actually changes how things are interacting
Speaker 4: in our brain. Go talk a little bit more about that. Wow,
Speaker 4: that's a really simple bosses. A person could do it like,
Speaker 4: let's say, if they were even in a stressful meeting
Speaker 4: or something, they could just cross their feet under the table.
Speaker 4: They could cross their hands under the table, and if
Speaker 4: they just allow that to happen, it will actually change
Speaker 4: some of that interaction.
Speaker 2: No kidding, how about that? Well, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2: It's going to be fascinating seminar and I'm sure my
Speaker 2: listeners will be interested. Again. Go to empower you America
Speaker 2: dot or get registered Tuesday, March eighteenth, beginning get seven pm. Luen,
Speaker 2: It's been a great conversation and I hope you have
Speaker 2: a successful seminar and hope you have a wonderful weekend
Speaker 2: on top of it.

Speaker 4: I love this. This is so much fun and actually
Speaker 4: to share. So I'm looking forward to seeing everyone great.
Speaker 2: I'm sure looking forward to see you. It'll be next Tuesday.
Speaker 2: Take care, it's been fun having you on the show
Speaker 2: eight thirty nine. Right now, folks, that's about Kecity Talxation
Speaker 2: looks like Jay on the phone, j you, I'll be
Speaker 2: happy to take your call. You just want to hold
Speaker 2: on for a minute. I'll be right back after these
Speaker 2: brief words.

Speaker 14: Also on two seventy five, eastbounded New Richmond construction as
Speaker 14: just the left lane open and you're on the brakes
Speaker 14: from Kellogg Avenue. I'm Heather Pasco in fifty five krc
Speaker 14: the talk station.
Speaker 2: Hey, forty three, fifty five KRCD talk station. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go straight to the phonks I promised. I told Jay
Speaker 2: I'd take his call right of the gate. Jay, thanks
Speaker 2: for holding over the break there. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, Brian.
Speaker 6: Hey.
Speaker 10: I wanted to comment on the Bill Blessing interview yesterday.
Speaker 2: Did you hear me? Sauty out?
Speaker 10: Oh man, Good for you guys. You guys do the
Speaker 10: work no one else will do. And I understand now
Speaker 10: why he was hesitant to go on the radio. That
Speaker 10: was an f in my ottendione day.
Speaker 2: Real quick here, so my listeners aren't quite sure what
Speaker 2: we're talking about. Blessing was on the other day to
Speaker 2: talk about property tax relief and some of the things
Speaker 2: are proposing. And then the next segment we talked about
Speaker 2: his proposal for a state funded free school lunch program
Speaker 2: for all students in both you know, parochial and public schools.
Speaker 2: A free lunch for everybody on the taxpayer dollar. I
Speaker 2: think it was a three hundred plus million dollar program
Speaker 2: he was proposing. So with that in mind, go ahead, Jay,
Speaker 2: off of your comments.
Speaker 10: Well yeah, and I was really you know, he almost
Speaker 10: pulled me over to his side of the debate whenever
Speaker 10: he explained that it's free. You're not going to see
Speaker 10: it when you're you're not going to see a three
Speaker 10: hundred million dollar increase because it's not going to go
Speaker 10: into your property tax. So when you reach into your
Speaker 10: personal checking account to pay your property tax, it won't
Speaker 10: be in there but on your pay stub where it
Speaker 10: says Ohio State tax, because this.
Speaker 6: State's going to pay for it.
Speaker 10: So it's free, Brian, I did, And so don't worry
Speaker 10: about it, Yeah, because we're I'll wait a second. We're
Speaker 10: paying for everything, aren't we.
Speaker 2: And I remember the old saying there ain't no free lunch, Jay,
Speaker 2: and I guess that means there ain't no free breakfast
Speaker 2: and lunch.
Speaker 10: Well I started to tear up a little bit when
Speaker 10: he talked about what a what a hassle it is
Speaker 10: for him to feed his kids breakfast and lunch, and
Speaker 10: the economies of scale a paint for all the kids
Speaker 10: breakfast and lunch at a tone of three hundred million
Speaker 10: is actually going to be cost out for everybody in
Speaker 10: the state of Ohio, which I think, if that's true,
Speaker 10: why don't we make the schools just a public food
Speaker 10: pantry and cafeteria. Why stop with breakfast and lunch? Why
Speaker 10: not go for dinner? If this is a cost out
Speaker 10: and any huge savings for the people of Ohio, shouldn't
Speaker 10: we just all be, you know, funneling into the schools
Speaker 10: anytime we want a snack or a meal or something
Speaker 10: like that. But my favorite part was whenever he decided
Speaker 10: to go down the road of legality with you as
Speaker 10: a lawyer, and I don't remember the exact thing he
Speaker 10: was bringing up, but he was talking about the law
Speaker 10: and the law requires and you very tactfully pointed out
Speaker 10: that the Supreme Court twenty years ago said we can't
Speaker 10: fund property tax or fund school tax off the property tax,
Speaker 10: at which point his response was nervous laughter and absolutely
Speaker 10: no response. Want she changed the uh, change the topic
Speaker 10: and took the took took it in a different direction.
Speaker 10: So so, people of Cole Rain, would you please do
Speaker 10: better and not inflect the rest of Ohio with with
Speaker 10: this jackass is bad ideas and Republican Party Alex Trantafela,
Speaker 10: would you listen to that and would would you sign
Speaker 10: up and to support that person with a nickel if
Speaker 10: they were running for public office, let alone a senator
Speaker 10: for crying out loud. Quit spending money. If we want
Speaker 10: to stop spending money, don't spend money, Republican Party money.
Speaker 10: And behind Bill Blessing and Cole rain Township, wake up.
Speaker 10: We don't need any more rhinos.
Speaker 6: For God's sakes.
Speaker 10: The one thing we produced more of than corn and
Speaker 10: Ohio is rhinos. And that was one on parade yesterday.
Speaker 10: But well done, brother.
Speaker 2: I appreciate your kind words, and I'm glad you listened.
Speaker 2: And the one thing I did take some comfort and
Speaker 2: I asked if this enjoyed widespread approval as a concept,
Speaker 2: and I got the impression it does not.
Speaker 1: So, oh, you're right, You're right.
Speaker 10: And I meant to tell people, now let's change your
Speaker 10: attactics instead of calling Bill Blessings on us. For the
Speaker 10: first time in my life, I may call Mike the
Speaker 10: Wine and give them praise and say stand I approve
Speaker 10: your your stance against SB one oh nine. And the
Speaker 10: Speaker of the House was it.
Speaker 2: Uh yeh, I know, I think Puffman, Yeah, Huffman.
Speaker 10: So cal Hoffman called the wine. Tell them you appreciate
Speaker 10: their firm stance against SB one oh nine and get
Speaker 10: this thing shot down, and then call Ran get somebody
Speaker 10: else in there. You guys can do better. I promote
Speaker 10: Joe Strecker. Can I get a second?
Speaker 2: I'll second that thanks to the calleg Day, I have
Speaker 2: a fantastic weekend, Brother Todd. I will promise to take
Speaker 2: your call as soon as we return after these pre fords,
Speaker 2: you want to hang on fifty five the talk station
Speaker 2: eight fifty two fifty five k r C the talk station.
Speaker 2: Never get tired of hearing that song, most notably on
Speaker 2: a Friday afternoon one. I love that version. Let us
Speaker 2: go to the phone. See what Todd's got. Todd's thanks
Speaker 2: for holding over the break and welcome to the show.
Speaker 17: Yes, I have some comments on AI, but first I
Speaker 17: just want to say that I was at the empower
Speaker 17: Youth seminar last night with the Senator Blessing, and I
Speaker 17: recommend that everyone who can listen to that last night,
Speaker 17: because I found myself rather reassured that he's in the Senate,
Speaker 17: so fair enough, I probably suggest listening to him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, at least in so far as his concepts on
Speaker 2: tax reform or property tax reform. I mean, I don't
Speaker 2: know if you're in favor of free school lunches for
Speaker 2: every school kid in public and private school. But okay, good,
Speaker 2: So we're talking about completely different topics, and I thought
Speaker 2: he did articulate some good ideas that might bring some
Speaker 2: relief to the taxpayers here in Ohio, most notably the
Speaker 2: senior I feel for man, you know, you're on a
Speaker 2: fixed income and as really fixed incoming you've got a
Speaker 2: property tax build that blows through the roof. You're not
Speaker 2: prepared to deal with that. So great, But as far.
Speaker 17: As AI is, that just there might be some debate
Speaker 17: as to what constitutes intelligence and maybe some debate as
Speaker 17: to what constitutes wisdom. But even though there might be
Speaker 17: artificial intelligence is I don't think there's going to be
Speaker 17: any artificial wisdom. And so yeah, going on that is
Speaker 17: that we still have to based things on I think
Speaker 17: original content. Because it's more than a certain percentage of
Speaker 17: what goes back into the AI is AI generated. You
Speaker 17: suffer a kind of an amplification or a feedback effect. Yeah,
Speaker 17: you get even more and more of what you maybe
Speaker 17: don't want.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an astute observation. See, but this transcends my
Speaker 2: ability to understand it because I don't have any knowledge
Speaker 2: about programming and therefore or how artificial intelligence really works
Speaker 2: or grows. It's not colledge background, so it's impossible for
Speaker 2: me to really truly understand whether that's possible. But Todd,
Speaker 2: it certainly sounds plausible. That's the whole garbage in, garbage
Speaker 2: out kind of thing that I was referring to when
Speaker 2: I talked to him. Anyhow, I appreciate the call, Todd
Speaker 2: and your observations about Senator Blessing, and I tend to
Speaker 2: agree with you along those lines and along some of
Speaker 2: the lines that Jay pointed out. Anyhow, if you can
Speaker 2: get a chance to listen Live Tech Friday with Dave
Speaker 2: Hatter about the FBI advisory on a new ransomware scam
