WEBVTT 1 00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:13.199 Five o five. I think i've Garris de talk Station 2 00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:32.719 Happy Friday. Say, well, there it is Friday on the 3 00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:35.039 Morning Show. What an amazing line up today, Thank you 4 00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:39.520 Joe Strecker. This morning's gonna fly by Happy Friday at 5 00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:42.479 all the listeners we got going on today. Well, let's 6 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:44.640 Tech Friday with Dayatter every Friday at six thirty. You 7 00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:47.960 know that's coming. And today we'll be talking with Dave 8 00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:51.759 about time to delete the most invasive apps on your phone. 9 00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:55.920 I think they're all to some degree invasive, as we've 10 00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.320 learned from Dave over the years, but the most invasive. 11 00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:01.000 Let's see how they determined which one of the most 12 00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.359 invasive are He did an op ed piece Dave did 13 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:10.920 Chinese evi's threat to national security and privacy, and he'll 14 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:12.760 talk about a video that shows how easy it is 15 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:22.439 to install a card skimmer. Excuse me, I had to 16 00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:25.079 exercise the cough button. Get my voice going in the 17 00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:27.760 five o'clock hours sometimes can be a struggle for me, 18 00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:31.840 So apologies for that. What has Orlando's sons have been 19 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.719 up to? Of course we were all weeping over the 20 00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:38.400 victory of Greg Greg Landsman over Orlando Sanza, but I 21 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:40.200 know he's still active, and we're going to find out 22 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.040 from him today at seven oh five. What's he been 23 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.159 doing since the election, his thoughts on what's going on 24 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:47.879 in DC and what's in store for him future wise 25 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:49.879 in terms of politics. And I can only hope that 26 00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.239 he does pursue some office down the road. I think 27 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.000 he's just such a brilliant man and just a family man, 28 00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:01.319 an honorable man, a decent man, and I think he's 29 00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:03.640 well deserving in some position if he chooses to run. 30 00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:06.879 I mean, that's of course his choice. Corey Mawman one 31 00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:08.960 of three now running for the mayor city of Cincinnati. 32 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:11.039 Correy's going to j join the program at seven thirty. 33 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:12.919 That's great. We had him on early on in his 34 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.960 efforts and apparently got enough signatures, so we have options 35 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:19.919 in the city of Cincinnati. Question, does anybody think that 36 00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:28.000 a Republican can win in the city of Cincinnati. Christopher P. Hotel, 37 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:32.080 with the book wanted the FBI, I once knew cash 38 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:36.080 Mittel got confirmed yesterday by a squeak. A squeaker, but 39 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.680 cash Mittel was confirmed FBI director. So Christopher on his 40 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.039 book as well as his thoughts on cash Hotel at 41 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.520 eighth five, and they'll look not a new book to 42 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:49.639 talk about. Bill O'Reilly's been on the program a whole 43 00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:51.560 bunch of times over the years. Every time he releases 44 00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.680 a new book, I just you pour right through it. 45 00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:57.240 They're great reads or easy reads. They're informative, very interesting, 46 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.280 and no book to talk about today. But we will 47 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.240 get his thoughts on what's going on in DC. We 48 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.520 will get his thoughts on Mitch McConnell, who is not 49 00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:09.520 seeking reelection. Can't believe I didn't get a woo who 50 00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:14.159 on that one. Joe. The audience is going, yeah, he's 51 00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:19.479 eighty three years old. For god's sake, the next campaign 52 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.520 would be twenty twenty six, so he's gonna just, I 53 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:26.919 guess fade away. Cash Bettel will be on the subject 54 00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.639 Metalist with Bill O'Reilly, and then we will of course 55 00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.199 Bill O'Reilly dot com if you're interested in getting his books, 56 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:34.919 they're fantastic as well as his commentary. He does a 57 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.199 lot of activity over Bill O'Reilly dot com. So Bill 58 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.319 O'Reilly at eight thirty, closing out of Friday here on 59 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:44.400 the fifty five Carssey Morning Show, Outstanding, Joe, Outstanding, did 60 00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:46.000 you reach out to him or did he reach out 61 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:51.199 to you? You reached out to him. That's great. You know, 62 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.560 he's a busy man. He doesn't necessarily have to spend 63 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:55.360 time on the fifty five Cassey Morning Show on a 64 00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:58.639 Friday morning. So it's awfully cool that he is. We 65 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.439 have a good relationship with Bill. It's kind of funny 66 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.599 because if you get a Bill O'Reilly book, you damn 67 00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:06.879 well better read it before you talk to him about it, 68 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.039 because he's going to ask you, did you read my book? 69 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:15.360 So has he? Fun fact from Joe Strecker, he's hung 70 00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:21.920 up on people who haven't read his book. Oh that's funny. 71 00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:27.240 But again, there are good books. We'll get to catch 72 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:28.920 yoursel as a crime stopper bag guy the week later 73 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.519 in the program as well, Jay Ratlife from yesterday, Michael 74 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.399 Walsh with his book A Rage to Conquer Twelve Battles 75 00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.240 have changed the course of Western history. Ohio State Representative 76 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.079 Jennifer Gross on medicaid. And we'll see if we can't 77 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:45.160 bring back to the top of the conversation we had 78 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:49.759 with the state auditor Keith Faber, because previously on the 79 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:53.639 program it was sometime last year. He didn't seem overly 80 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.600 concerned about the amount of well, for example, payments that 81 00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:01.800 went out of state. He subsequently did some sort of 82 00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:04.519 analysis and review and uncovered that about was it, twenty 83 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:09.879 five percent of the Medicaid dollars floats to some other state, 84 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.839 to a resident of some other state, which should be 85 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.360 verboten and should be ferreted out. If you can figure 86 00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:17.600 it out through an audit of a handful of sample 87 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:21.439 of claims, let's start cutting the payments. But as Jennifer 88 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:25.279 Gross explained, you've got to get approval from the basically 89 00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:29.720 the administration, the federal government to make any changes whatsoever, 90 00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:36.000 including adding a work requirement. So that's the strings attached 91 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:38.160 that she pointed out. You know, ninety percent of the 92 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:40.800 Medicaid money. We did that Medicaid expansion some years ago, 93 00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:43.000 and ninety percent of that money comes from the federal government. 94 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.079 Menial highlands are on the hook for the other ten percent. 95 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:49.920 What if they cut that money? And what of the 96 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:53.560 folks that just entered into the program under the expansion 97 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.519 weren't there previously? Can they manage themselves without it? And 98 00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.000 she said, they are all the people we're talking about here, 99 00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:04.759 able bodied folks who could get jobs, and so the 100 00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:07.399 job requirement or a job training requirement, you know, that 101 00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:10.000 might help them move away from the welfare state and 102 00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:13.759 get themselves unhooked from the umbilical court of government. How 103 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:17.399 about that? And yesterday I got a fun text from 104 00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:23.720 Joe Strecker the protest outside the Greater Cincinnati Tesla store. 105 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:27.360 Are those independently owned and operated? Joe, do you know? 106 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:29.639 Or is that z line Muscow in it? I don't 107 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:39.279 know either. So about fifty people showed up Wednesday, upset 108 00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.759 over the mass layoffs that are happening under the Trump administration, 109 00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.759 with this Department of Government Efficiency. And there's been a 110 00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:49.000 lot of lawsuits filed over it. And those lawsuits intentionally 111 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:51.399 brought about by Donald Trump. He knew they were coming. 112 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:54.040 And there's a great op ed from Kim Strassel on 113 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:55.639 that maybe we can get some of the details on 114 00:06:55.720 --> 00:07:00.639 that later. But they're outside the Tesla store and they're 115 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:06.639 screaming about, well these firings. Hamilton County Prosecutor Connie Pillage 116 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:12.240 was there. Well, if you've been able to draw connection 117 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.160 between Hamilton County crimes and the prosecution of crimes here 118 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.279 in Hamilton County with the firing of various government employees 119 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:21.959 in the federal government level, Joe, because I'm struggling with 120 00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:24.480 that one all the time. Yeah, you think about it 121 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:29.399 all the time. Yeah, right. We love spending money to 122 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.120 send them to war, but we usually forget about them 123 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.639 when they come home, and that's disgusting. Referring to I 124 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.720 guess the recent firings at the Department of Veteran Affairs 125 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:42.879 as an example of the cruelty of the Trump administration, 126 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:49.279 the American Federal Federation of Government Employees Local thirty eight 127 00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:55.120 to forty Save our Services SOS of course, haha, that's 128 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.959 the I guess, the banner under which these protests are 129 00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:02.240 flying said the jobscups would have a trickle down effect 130 00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:10.279 on services people throughout Greater Cincinnati rely on. So Connie Pillach, 131 00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:18.120 Hamilton County Prosecutor making a pitch to protest the firings 132 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:22.600 of these federal government employees now rewind And I appreciate 133 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:25.959 Joe going back to this because November twelfth, twenty twenty four, 134 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:31.319 WVXU reported, after having spoken with her after the election, 135 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:34.240 when she did win, she beat Melissa Powers with fifty 136 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:37.480 one percent of the vote, Obviously the first time that 137 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:40.919 a Democrat has taken over the prosecutor's office. Yeah, I 138 00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:44.639 think it was the report of ninety one years of 139 00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:48.600 Republicans handling the prosecutor's office here in the city of Cincinnati. 140 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.039 The people of the city of Cincinnati kind of liked that. 141 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.960 In Hamilton County most specifically because, well, she would the 142 00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.240 Republicans over the years have been rather tough on crime. 143 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:01.279 But back then, quote, I don't see this as a 144 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:04.159 political job. I'd like to see us focus on the 145 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:09.679 job instead of the politics. Close Quote what do you 146 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:11.000 think she forgot. 147 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:13.519 That? 148 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:14.200 She said that. 149 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:24.720 Picking and choosing. All right, let's see here, Mexican President 150 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.039 Dunnas doesn't want us to invade Mexico over the cartels 151 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:32.000 recently designated as terrorist organizations, And honestly, I don't feel 152 00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:34.200 that way either. I don't like the idea of just 153 00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:36.600 chucking rockets in the countries against whom we have no 154 00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.799 declaration of war. Mentioned that a million times, talk about 155 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:41.399 it with the Polatano all the time. It just came 156 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:43.799 up with I think Daniel Davis earlier in the week 157 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:46.360 we did a deep, deep dive, but we are using 158 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.039 drones and flying over to discover where these ventnol lambs 159 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.320 are manufactured and you think that's a new development uner 160 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:54.480 the Trump administration in preparation for war, and oh my god, 161 00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:57.679 you know this is an atrocity. We can't be doing this. 162 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.159 That started under the Biden administration. Jones part of a 163 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:06.159 covert program started during the Biden administration. The effort was 164 00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:10.279 not disclosed until this week, so it's been an ongoing thing. 165 00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:13.360 But fortunately, as reported and I appreciate the reporting on 166 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:22.279 that one, we're sharing that information with Mexico. Now, I 167 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.360 don't know that that gets the president of Mexico out 168 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:33.360 of a lurch, because the Cartels presents this literally existential 169 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:34.879 threat to the well being in the lives of the 170 00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:38.840 various politicians in Mexico. They kill them all the time, 171 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:42.679 and it was widely speculated the President Scheinbaum actually came 172 00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:46.440 out and said, do not designate these folks as terrorist organizations, 173 00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:51.399 probably because they had threatened her. You better do something 174 00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:55.679 about Trump or we're gonna do something about you. It's 175 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.200 a pretty lawless country when it comes right down to it, 176 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:05.360 unless you know, you think the cartels are providing some 177 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:10.320 form of structure for the citizenry there. But in fun 178 00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:13.720 facts on our border. Related to the situation borders are, 179 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:18.320 Tom Homan pointed out earlier this week that there were 180 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:21.120 only two hundred and twenty nine border patrol encounters along 181 00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:26.360 the entire US Mexican border within the prior day, which 182 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:28.919 he pointed out was the lowest since he first joined 183 00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:31.720 the border patrol in nineteen eighty four. But when you 184 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:34.360 review the border patrol encounters, which they've been tracking for 185 00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:37.840 decades and decades, apparently the numbers have not been this 186 00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:45.279 low since the nineteen sixties. They say, if the agents 187 00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:49.480 working on the border continue to encounter this a mirror 188 00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:53.399 two hundred and twenty nine every single day, the entire 189 00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.639 fiscal year would would ultimately be eighty three thousand, five 190 00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:01.519 hundred and eighty five, which again is a figure that 191 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:04.279 hasn't been seen since nineteen sixty eight, when there were 192 00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:07.679 only sixty two thousand, six hundred and forty reported encounters 193 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.879 along the southwest sectors. And I imagine that figure probably 194 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.919 was actually higher. We have it's easier to track people 195 00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.200 these days with modern technology, of course, computers, and you know, 196 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:20.799 we encounter them, we take a DNA sample, we give 197 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:22.679 them a cell phone and a place to live, and 198 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.720 all that. But regardless, obviously the Trove administration is making 199 00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:29.679 some serious product progress on the southern border, much to 200 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.519 the chagrin of the Catholic bishops who filed the suit 201 00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:35.480 the other day and sadly their first round in court 202 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:41.919 didn't go their way. A well, A federal money is 203 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.480 not permanent and you're not entitled to it. Five seventeen 204 00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.720 fifty five Kacy detoxication. Feel free to call thank you, 205 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:51.559 Joe summing it up quite nicely. Five point three seven 206 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:53.480 four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight two 207 00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:55.360 three Taco with tound five fifty on at and T 208 00:12:55.519 --> 00:13:06.200 phones hang around right back. It was LGBTQIA fifty five 209 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:20.080 KRC Beat Talk Station Friday Evenings from Money Full Confirmation. 210 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.120 It is Friday year under the five KRC Morning Show. 211 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:25.960 If I went three seven eight two three talk, I 212 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.879 personally love what Doje is doing and I'd love finding 213 00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.279 out all these illustrations of the insanity. Now while the 214 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:34.960 federal workers are suing the Trump administration because they've been 215 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:38.240 let go, at least some of them get a load 216 00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:42.000 of this one props. The Aubrey Spady of Fox News 217 00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:53.960 reporting there's apparently a cafeteria. Department of Interior cafeteria initially 218 00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:57.240 closed during the coronavirus virus pandemic. That was we were 219 00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:59.559 on freak out mode. Oh my god, Oh my god, 220 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.399 Oh my god. So the employees in the cafeteria were 221 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:06.720 told to go home. They continue to be paid. It's 222 00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:14.879 been closed for years now, and yet they're not going 223 00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:16.759 back to work, and they refuse to go back to work. 224 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:21.720 It's a cafeteria. You can't do remote work. One source 225 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:24.279 speaking with Fox is, you have federal workers showing up 226 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:27.600 to protest President Trump's plan to make government work for 227 00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:30.559 the people on a federal holiday, but they refuse to 228 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:34.200 show up to work when they're collecting a paycheck. Courtisying 229 00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:37.039 the American taxpayers. It's just nuts. Yeah, I can sum 230 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.720 it up that way too. Department of Interior Care cafeteria 231 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.399 closed during the coronavirus pandemic, but the lunch room remained 232 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.720 shut down for several years because the Biden administration did 233 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:51.759 not require federal employees to work in person. The photo 234 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:54.679 was circulated from the twenty inhes the other Day, five 235 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.480 years after the pandemic, the lunch room remains empty and unmanned. 236 00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:02.039 Which the source speaking Fox says, shows you exactly what's 237 00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:04.320 wrong with the mindset of far too many federal workers. 238 00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:10.080 They would to get paid for doing nothing. Interior Secretary 239 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:13.360 Doug bergerm in the statement, he's requiring that all federal workers, 240 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.279 federal employees returned to the office to comply with the 241 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:19.080 return to work order that was issued by the president. Now, 242 00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:20.879 this was the idea that you know, you either return 243 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:23.440 to work or you take the buyout package, which shed 244 00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:28.159 a deadline, and the deadline has passed. So enter lawsuits 245 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.720 where people getting canned because they aren't doing anything on 246 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:35.279 behalf of you and me and the cafeteria is just 247 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:40.480 the greatest illustration of how stupid federal government is. Now, 248 00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:43.240 if you can remote work at home on a computer 249 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.039 and get the work actually done, and you know, props 250 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:48.279 to my wife, she's been doing that. Now since the lockdown, 251 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:50.320 they're shutting down to the legal office at her business. 252 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.080 But every single day she's down there working on contracts, 253 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:59.360 on conference calls, video and otherwise every single day putting 254 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:02.120 into full day's work and doing the job that is 255 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:05.080 necessary for her to keep her employment. If she was 256 00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:08.679 a cafeteria worker, she couldn't do that from the basement 257 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:10.440 of her home. And I know I'm stating the obvious. 258 00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:13.600 Don't man explain Thomas, but this is I'm just incensed 259 00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:18.080 by this. They want to continue to work from home. 260 00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:21.919 Someone asked me, or answer the question, how can a 261 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.639 cafeteria employee work from home and justify the salary that 262 00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:31.879 you and I are still paying for them? Go ahead, 263 00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:37.279 Democrats defend that and those has found out that there 264 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:40.240 are four point six million credit cards out in the 265 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:45.200 world issued by the US government active credit card accounts, 266 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:53.440 which spent thirty nine point seven billion dollars in more 267 00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:58.000 than ninety million transactions in the last fiscal year alone. 268 00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:04.839 General Service Administration Smartpay credit card system has seen what 269 00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:10.480 they've described in bright Bard Props to Olivia Rondo, total 270 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:12.119 amount of money spent on the cards, as well as 271 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:14.640 dramatic surge and the total number of transactions over the 272 00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:17.920 past few years. Fiscal year twenty twenty two, they spent 273 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:23.000 thirty two point eight billion, a seven billion dollar jump 274 00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:28.039 in two years, seventy eight point five million in fiscal 275 00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:32.400 year twenty twenty three built million transactions. I might point 276 00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:36.559 out that's in billions of dollars. And now ninety million 277 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:39.640 transactions for fiscal year twenty twenty four. Here's the problem. 278 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:43.960 The audit found a staggering thinking about the Medicaid payments 279 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:46.279 to out of state individuals here in the state of Ohio, 280 00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:49.759 coming in about twenty five percent. They found twelve percent 281 00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:53.079 of credit card purchases on government issued cards quote, may 282 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.480 have violated the Pentagon's spending policies. These are just for 283 00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:02.000 Pentagon cards, by the way, Developed Veteran Affairs has them, 284 00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:05.359 Department of Defense has them, all these other government agencies 285 00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:09.599 have them. But this is in Pentagon spending eleven thousand 286 00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:14.559 transactions totally, more than half a million dollars made at casinos, ATMs, 287 00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:20.599 mobile application stores, bars, nightclubs during holidays and sporting events. 288 00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:26.920 The oh, we can't have dogs doing this work, folks. 289 00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:29.480 Oh no, no, no, there's nothing to see here.

They 312 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:04.799 and Claarmont County Police chief Sheriff's Association are concerned, They 313 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:09.359 say for the safety of residence conducting investigations into child 314 00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:17.240 predators to Calley Center press releases, come to our attention 315 00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:20.079 that there are various vigilante groups who've taken it upon 316 00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:25.440 themselves to engage in the two catchup predator style undercovers things. 317 00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:28.799 Calvey said, the groups have met up and confronted various 318 00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:32.200 individuals suspected to be predators. We had that these meetings 319 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:36.200 could often or rather occur publicly. Often occur publicly rather 320 00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:39.319 within Claremont County, he said. While we applaud and appreciate 321 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:42.640 your intent, we cannot stress enough the danger of engaging 322 00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:47.680 in such conduct. Prosecutor's office and law enforcement arguing that 323 00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:50.440 citizens are putting themselves and others at risk by endangering 324 00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:54.400 these engaging in these investigations. Law enforcement says that the 325 00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:58.119 vigilanti groups should stop participating in these investigations and instead 326 00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:00.519 contact the police that they believe there's speaking with a 327 00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:04.680 person who has sexual interest in young children. Quote from Tacolby. 328 00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:07.240 Please leave this work to the professionals, and please help 329 00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:10.640 us keep all citizens of Claremont County safe by not 330 00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:15.920 engaging in potentially dangerous acts or confrontations. They say, if 331 00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:18.559 you know of any potential criminal activity, just contact your 332 00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:25.680 local police department. I hate child predators. I don't know 333 00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:29.519 how I feel about that one, but yeah, if you 334 00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:32.160 do know something, it's like drop a dime. Report to 335 00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:34.519 your local law enforcement if you know about criminal activity, 336 00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:36.720 if you know someone who's committed a crime. The idea 337 00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:39.400 is for the public to work with law enforcement. Let 338 00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:42.839 them do their job. And I suppose in the final analysis, 339 00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:45.440 I can come down on the side of mister Chacoalabi. 340 00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:51.240 Go to Oxford where my fraternity, sadly I wasn't there. 341 00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:53.960 I went to the University of Cincinnati, so different chapter, 342 00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:56.960 and we actually didn't get along with the members of 343 00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:59.839 the Miami University chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, who's now 344 00:21:59.880 --> 00:22:07.079 in trouble suspended. They are over allegations of hazing. Fox 345 00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:10.759 nineteen speaking with legal analysts Mary Curmbine on college campuses, 346 00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:13.400 there is a certain large group of people that still 347 00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:15.480 accepted they call it a sort of rite of passage, 348 00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:17.599 but the legislature has really put its foot down and 349 00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:25.960 really more heavily criminalizing those actions. Apparently, the hazing report 350 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:28.440 indicates someone claiming to be a pledge for the fraternity 351 00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:30.839 told someone else he was being Hayes from multiple days 352 00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:33.400 during rush week. Also said he was forced into accepting 353 00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:38.079 a bid into the fraternity.

And 380 00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:21.680 I look back on my time there, and I really 381 00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:25.480 can't think of anything that they did that I personally 382 00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:30.680 viewed as hazing. You got a lot of older brothers 383 00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:33.200 screaming at you about cleaning up and things like that. 384 00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:35.400 But I didn't view cleaning up as hazing, as as 385 00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:39.200 part of the process. Somebody's got to clean the place. Hey, 386 00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:45.559 welcome to the new pledge class. Here's a mop, and 387 00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:49.680 we may get some freshes restaurants back.

They just kind of let it 403 00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:38.319 slip over the years. But I have a got a 404 00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:40.559 soft spot in my heart for Fish's.

Whenever 445 00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:20.279 the crowd would go, I wouldn't maneuver myself and to 446 00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:23.119 stay with him, even if that meant elongated my walk. 447 00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:25.279 The whole way, I was pretty much with other people 448 00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:27.039 about ninety five percent of the time until I had 449 00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:29.599 a cross over into the neighborhood or my car was parked. 450 00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:34.359 When she got into the neighborhood, she saw someone. I 451 00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:37.119 saw a movement of a male figure, assuming that this 452 00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:40.480 guy just lived in this house and was outside, perhaps 453 00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:44.039 smoking a cigarette.

I was steps away 459 00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:03.119 from a when I heard very fast running footsteps behind me. 460 00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:06.480 I turned, and as I turned, he was literally right 461 00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:10.240 on me. Right there, he grabbed my hips. I imagine 462 00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:12.640 if someone was trying to pull your pants off. Imagine 463 00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:15.079 if someone was trying to pull your pants off aggressively. 464 00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:19.200 That's exactly what he was doing.

Apparently, this guy has faced 565 00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:02.400 multiple charges over the past several years and is now 566 00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:05.880 the subject of a quote mental health hold close quote 567 00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:11.960 that was initiated rather by the University police. Fifty two 568 00:35:12.039 --> 00:35:20.280 years old got an award to give out Joe. Married 569 00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:23.719 couple been arrested on felony charges after their eight year 570 00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:28.119 old son suffered what they describe as permanent disfigurement when 571 00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:31.320 he was bound with tape from his shoulders down to 572 00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:35.639 his feet in an apparent disciplinary measure. According to police, 573 00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:41.840 Nicholas Barsett, fifty six, admitted chasing his child around their 574 00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:45.000 Florida home before grabbing the victim against his will. Barsett 575 00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:47.440 then picked up the boy and carried him into the 576 00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:50.519 child's bedroom. Quote The defendant held the victim down as 577 00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:52.920 he utilized tape to tie the child up from his 578 00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:58.280 shoulders down to his feet. While this was occurring, Barsett's wife, 579 00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:01.159 forty five, stood there look don in didn't do anything 580 00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:05.000 to intercede. Boy left home alone in his room, told 581 00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:07.559 cops that he yelled for help and attempted to stand 582 00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:09.400 up despite not being able to move to to the 583 00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:12.239 duct tape. Trying to get up, the child fell on 584 00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:17.119 his face, splitting his chin open. Said the victim could 585 00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:18.960 not brace himself for the fall due to his limbs 586 00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:21.800 being bound or bonded to his body by the tape. 587 00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:24.760 Affi David says the boy's parents later found him bleeding 588 00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:28.880 on the bedroom floor. Nicholas Barsett told cops he performed 589 00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:30.800 first day to get the bleeding to stop. The couple 590 00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:33.079 did not call emergency services or bring their son to 591 00:36:33.119 --> 00:36:37.360 a medical facility to have the laceration properly checked and closed. 592 00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:41.000 Court filings did not indicate how police who arrested the 593 00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:44.119 bar Sets learned from learn of the taping punishment, which 594 00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:48.519 reportedly occurred around two months ago. Both parents, copsay, confessed 595 00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:51.480 the respective roles in the incident after being read the 596 00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:59.079 Miranda rights Perios the biggest douche of the universe in 597 00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:04.480 all the gown There's no bigger douche than you.

Nicholas Barsett charged 600 00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:20.280 with felony chout abuse and booked into the County jail, 601 00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:23.960 released with a one fifteen thousand dollars bond, which seems 602 00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:28.760 woefully inadequate. Alex bar of Barset spent the night in 603 00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:31.920 County jail before she was freed on her own recognizance. 604 00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:39.519 Let's see here. Very quickly, using a fingerprint lifted off 605 00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:42.760 of a goldfish package, cops identified and arrested Demand for 606 00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:47.480 hitting a female family doctor manager in the face with 607 00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:52.840 the crackers when she confronted him about stealing from the retailer. 608 00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:59.119 Cops alleged that Michael Gonzalez, aka Gizmo, struck the sixty 609 00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:00.960 five year old victim of walking out of a Florida 610 00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:04.000 business with approximately fifty dollars worth of cleaning supplies and 611 00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:06.880 a box of goldfish crackers. Why are you doing that? 612 00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:11.760 Cops say. The victim approached Gonzalez as he handed the 613 00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:14.400 stolen goods to a passenger and a vehicle parked out 614 00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:16.599 front of the Golf Court store. Upon being challenged by 615 00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:19.400 the woman, Gonzalez, who's twenty nine, allegedly hit her in 616 00:38:19.519 --> 00:38:22.880 the face with the goldfish crackers, causing a small cut 617 00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:27.320 under her lip. Gonzalez arrested for strong arm robbery, a felony, 618 00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:30.159 in connection with the September twenty twenty four goldfish incident. 619 00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:33.760 He was in custody for a prior alleged robbery during 620 00:38:33.800 --> 00:38:37.000 which he stole a skateboard from a man who he punched, 621 00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:43.480 bit and stabbed in the face and head. Surveillance images 622 00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:48.840 from the Family Dollar Gonzales had served several distinctive tattoos 623 00:38:48.840 --> 00:38:50.960 and if you could see him, yeah, they're quite distinctive, 624 00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:56.239 including one between his eyes. He apparently told cops. He 625 00:38:56.760 --> 00:38:58.760 he admitted, yes, that was me in the photos. Through 626 00:38:58.760 --> 00:39:01.679 the interview. Police noted Gonza has stated that this was 627 00:39:02.199 --> 00:39:06.400 petty and that he should just get time served. Judge disagreed, 628 00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:09.400 setting his bond at thirty thousand dollars for the two 629 00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:17.719 pending robbery cases. Five fifty six plenty to talk about 630 00:39:17.719 --> 00:39:19.360 before we go with tech Friday's day've hat or coming 631 00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:21.000 up in six thirty. You can feel free to call in. 632 00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:22.519 I'd love to hear from if youve got a topic 633 00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:25.039 you want to talk about. I'll be right back covering 634 00:39:25.159 --> 00:39:26.880 Trump's first one hundred days. 635 00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:32.119 Every day America's deadline is over fifty five dr. 636 00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:36.079 Say talk station is your New Year's resolution to such 637 00:39:36.440 --> 00:39:38.840 it is time for you to delete the most invasive 638 00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:41.360 apps on your phone. He did an op ed about 639 00:39:41.440 --> 00:39:44.800 Chinese electric vehicles being a threat to our national security 640 00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:47.519 and a video showing how easy it is to install 641 00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:51.199 a card skimmer. Fast forward an hour Orlando's Sonza returns, 642 00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:53.360 We're so sad that Greg Landsman beat him, but I 643 00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:55.159 know he's got a future doing something. We'll find out 644 00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:57.679 what he's been doing since the election. His thoughts about 645 00:39:57.719 --> 00:40:01.159 what's going on in DC and will he be seeking 646 00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:04.559 an office at some point his future. Corey Bowman hops 647 00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:06.880 he has a future for Asmeri City of Cincinnati. He's 648 00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:09.119 one of three people now running. Corey who joins the 649 00:40:09.159 --> 00:40:11.840 program at seven thirty uh. Fast forward to eight oh 650 00:40:11.960 --> 00:40:16.280 five Christopher Pihorda with the book Wanted the FBI I 651 00:40:16.480 --> 00:40:20.480 once knew. Also get his thoughts about Cash Bettel, who 652 00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:25.199 just succeeded in securing the position to run the FBI. 653 00:40:25.400 --> 00:40:28.559 Bill O'Reilly great to have Bill on. We get his 654 00:40:28.679 --> 00:40:30.599 thoughts on what's going on in DC. We'll get his 655 00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:32.920 reaction to Mitch McConnell's saying he's not going to run 656 00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:35.840 for reelection. He's already eighty three and the elections not 657 00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:39.400 for another couple of years. Cash battel thoughts on that. 658 00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:45.760 And of course you can get all of Bill O'Reilly's 659 00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:48.960 commentary as well as his outstanding books at Bill O'Reilly 660 00:40:49.039 --> 00:40:53.000 dot com. So that's coming up five three seven two 661 00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:56.400 three Talk now is interesting analysis by Kim Straussel explaining 662 00:40:57.199 --> 00:41:00.920 almost it's almost a former reverse lawfair. Now, of course, 663 00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:04.480 you've got all these organizations suing Donald Trump because of 664 00:41:04.599 --> 00:41:08.039 his you know, some describe as ham fitted actions firing 665 00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:10.599 thousands of people of various different organizations. Some are claiming 666 00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:13.159 he doesn't have the legal right to do that. One 667 00:41:13.199 --> 00:41:17.360 of those groups shot down the other day. A couple 668 00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:19.400 of federal judges this week declined to stop the Trump 669 00:41:19.400 --> 00:41:22.400 administration from firing federal workers and doing these math at 670 00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:27.559 mass layoffs. Yesterday, the US District Judge Christopher Cooper shot 671 00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:30.920 down a request from several federal labor unions, among them 672 00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:35.199 the National Treasury Employees Union. They, along with other labor unions, 673 00:41:35.239 --> 00:41:38.679 filed a complaint in February twelfth challenging the firing of 674 00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:42.880 the probationary employees as well as that deferred resignation program 675 00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:44.920 if you recall, that offered them an opportunity to just 676 00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:47.360 sort of quit and take a cash payout through September. 677 00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:52.519 So the judge denied the request for a temporary restraining 678 00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:54.440 order and preliminary injunction. 679 00:41:55.320 --> 00:41:55.400 But. 680 00:41:56.960 --> 00:42:00.440 The judge ruled that the unions must person sue their 681 00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:04.920 challenges to the Federal Services Labor Management Relations Statute, which 682 00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:07.960 apparently provides for an administrative review by the Federal Labor 683 00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:13.239 Right Relations Authority, So no lawsuit here. I mentioned the 684 00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:17.079 Catholic bishops suing the Trump administration because their non governmental 685 00:42:17.199 --> 00:42:22.079 organization money was being withdrawn up, and they got a 686 00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:26.320 little upset about that. I believe, yes, it was yesterday 687 00:42:26.400 --> 00:42:29.840 the federal judge rejected the US Conference Catholic BIDUS bishop's 688 00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:35.199 request to turn back the money that's flowing. They called 689 00:42:35.239 --> 00:42:37.840 upon the administration to pause. They called it a rather 690 00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:40.320 illegal asking the federal court in Washington to issue a 691 00:42:40.360 --> 00:42:44.519 temporary restraining order, which US District Judge Trevor McFadden declined 692 00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:48.639 to do, saying, the court finds a plaintiff has not 693 00:42:48.760 --> 00:42:52.039 made the requisite showing and will thus deny plain its 694 00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:56.199 motion to extend that requests a temporary restraining order. He 695 00:42:56.280 --> 00:42:58.760 set a speedy schedule for the bishops to argue for 696 00:42:58.840 --> 00:43:02.559 a preliminary in johnction more powerful than a temporary restraining order, 697 00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:05.519 but that's going to require some time. So an initial 698 00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:08.960 sort of loss for the bishops, that lawsuit will continue. 699 00:43:10.079 --> 00:43:13.440 So now all these lawsuits come in, and Kimberly Strassel 700 00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:16.320 suggests that this is exactly what Donald Trump wants to happen, 701 00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:20.280 and she writes in the Journal, Trump's constitutional cleanup starts 702 00:43:20.280 --> 00:43:24.039 out with Franklin Delana Roosevelt fundamentally redefine the purpose of 703 00:43:24.079 --> 00:43:26.800 federal government, setting off an air of ever expanding Washington's 704 00:43:26.800 --> 00:43:29.960 scope and reach. Nearly a century later, Donald Trump's White 705 00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:33.079 House has taken on itself to challenge the legitimacy of 706 00:43:33.159 --> 00:43:36.559 some foundations of that expansion. The left calls this a 707 00:43:36.679 --> 00:43:42.119 constitutional crisis, how about a constitutional cleanup. The sheer volume 708 00:43:42.159 --> 00:43:44.440 of mister Trump's actions can make it hard to distinguish 709 00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:48.559 between the merely aggressive and the truly striking. In the 710 00:43:48.639 --> 00:43:51.280 former category of the Department of Government efficiency moves to 711 00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:54.719 cut the size of the federal workforce, change civil service rules, 712 00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:59.039 and eliminate wasteful spending. These moves are unconventional. Most presidents 713 00:43:59.719 --> 00:44:04.679 role with the bureaucracy that they are given, but hardly lawless. 714 00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:08.719 Progressive litigators may soon discover presidents have a lot of 715 00:44:08.760 --> 00:44:12.960 authority to manage employees and programs. It's the truly striking 716 00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:15.960 class that deserves Note. This is the growing list of 717 00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:21.960 Trump actions deliberately designed to provoke a lejudicial review of 718 00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:27.320 the legality of long standing Washington features. Congress spent a 719 00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:30.440 century creating dozens of agencies that blur the boundaries between 720 00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:34.000 the executive, legislative, and judicial power, while the administrative state 721 00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:39.840 produced thousands of rules that diverge from congressional intent. Constitutionalists 722 00:44:39.880 --> 00:44:42.800 have long disputed the legality of those actions, but over 723 00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:46.920 time even most critics succumb to the status quo. See 724 00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:51.840 the White House revive that fight audaciously questioning the foundations 725 00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:59.320 of the DC architecture is remarkable. Trump unveiled the largest 726 00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:02.760 of the rather the latest zinger this week, detonating what 727 00:45:02.920 --> 00:45:07.719 the American Actions Forum Daniel Goldbeck labeled a thermonuke de 728 00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:12.679 regulatory warhead. The President ordered the agency heads to scour 729 00:45:12.920 --> 00:45:15.960 every regulation and bit of guidance under the remit and 730 00:45:16.119 --> 00:45:20.760 make lists of those that violate the Constitution, exceed legislative power, 731 00:45:21.079 --> 00:45:23.440 go beyond the clear words of a statute, or harm 732 00:45:23.519 --> 00:45:27.320 the national interest. The White House is laying the groundwork 733 00:45:27.360 --> 00:45:29.920 to declare hundreds of rules null and void on the 734 00:45:29.960 --> 00:45:32.760 grounds that they were not lawful in the first place. 735 00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:36.800 Will it get sued, Yes, and the White House knows it. 736 00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:39.960 The clear hope is to build on recent Supreme Court 737 00:45:40.039 --> 00:45:45.159 rulings that reign in the bureaucratic state. The thermonuke, followed 738 00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:47.760 by a separate executive voter, taking aim at agencies that 739 00:45:47.880 --> 00:45:53.039 Congress created who perform executive functions administer laws, yet left 740 00:45:53.360 --> 00:45:57.280 free of executive control, they instead report to Congress. These 741 00:45:57.320 --> 00:46:00.480 congressional minions, now numbering far more than one hundred, populate 742 00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:04.679 Washington and many flex far bigger regulatory muscle than even 743 00:46:04.840 --> 00:46:08.920 cabinet departments. They include major agencies like the Federal Communications 744 00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:12.119 Commissions and the Securities Exchange Commission, in smaller outfits like 745 00:46:12.199 --> 00:46:18.079 the Election Assistance Commission and the African Development Foundation. Trump 746 00:46:18.119 --> 00:46:22.039 has ordered independent agencies to submit all proposed regulatory changes 747 00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:26.719 to the White House for review. Q freak out pair 748 00:46:26.840 --> 00:46:30.039 this with a separate order this week, drastically reducing the 749 00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:33.519 function of a handful of smaller independent agencies, as well 750 00:46:33.639 --> 00:46:37.519 as his recent firing of National Labor Relations Board member 751 00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:42.760 Gwynn Wilcox despite statutory restrictions on a president's removal authority. 752 00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:47.840 The White House is actively courting a law suit that 753 00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:52.079 will ask courts to reconsider nineteen thirty five ruling upholding 754 00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:57.079 independent agencies. Ms Wilcox has already sued, it's the point 755 00:46:57.119 --> 00:47:01.039 of doing it. It also wants clarity in Congress's nineteen 756 00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:05.159 seventy eight law creating Inspectors General congressional watchdogs that sit 757 00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:08.480 with the executive branch and conduct investigations. This is a 758 00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:12.559 separation of power's nightmare and issue Trump is raising with 759 00:47:12.679 --> 00:47:15.519 his decision to fire seventeen inspectors general his first week 760 00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:19.679 in office. Now the president has the undisputed power to 761 00:47:19.719 --> 00:47:23.280 remove inspector generals. Mister Trump flouted Congress's rule demanding he 762 00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:27.159 provided thirty day notice. Eight of those dismissed would have 763 00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:30.880 sued to be reinstated, what the White House surely expected. 764 00:47:33.039 --> 00:47:36.239 Watch now to see if Trump also flouts Congressional structures 765 00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:38.880 as the who he is as to who he is 766 00:47:38.920 --> 00:47:44.760 allowed to name as replacements. Another fight likely upcoming impoundment 767 00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:48.920 or the presidential power to decline to spend full amounts 768 00:47:48.920 --> 00:47:52.559 appropriated by Congress. So far, Trump is simply paused by 769 00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:56.320 their spending, but he has argued that a nineteen seventies 770 00:47:56.440 --> 00:48:01.920 law restricting a president's impoundment power is on constitutional, suggesting 771 00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:05.440 the administration may seek to tee up a lawsuit here too. 772 00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:09.280 Note that what Trump is doing is very different than 773 00:48:09.320 --> 00:48:12.880 Barack Obama's practice of just ignoring inconvenient laws or Joe 774 00:48:12.920 --> 00:48:16.039 Biden's habit of searching through dusty statutes to find some 775 00:48:16.679 --> 00:48:21.639 contorted rationale for a new exercise of power. This administration 776 00:48:21.840 --> 00:48:25.199 hope its actions will compel the judiciary to re examine 777 00:48:25.199 --> 00:48:34.840 the constitutional underpinnings of today's heaving federal infrastructure. Winnorless, the 778 00:48:34.920 --> 00:48:37.920 effort is long overdue. Vigorous debate over the powers and 779 00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:41.559 structure of government ought to be a feature of every administration. 780 00:48:41.760 --> 00:48:45.480 What should worry us isn't that Trump is doing this now, 781 00:48:46.280 --> 00:48:50.280 but that our drowsy political system considers it an anomaly. 782 00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:55.960 So keep your popcorn out. The lawsuits have been and 783 00:48:56.079 --> 00:48:59.039 will continue to be filed, and she's right on par 784 00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:01.599 on point, and Trump is right in terms of this strategy. 785 00:49:02.719 --> 00:49:06.320 There have been a lot of Supreme Court cases pairing 786 00:49:06.440 --> 00:49:10.760 back the ability of the regulatory branch that's behind the 787 00:49:11.480 --> 00:49:14.960 actual structure of government, the three divisions of government, the 788 00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:19.159 regulatory state. Hopefully we'll get the Rains Act in any 789 00:49:19.239 --> 00:49:21.599 regulation that costs the American public more than one hundred 790 00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:25.599 million dollars must be specifically approved by Congress. We got 791 00:49:25.639 --> 00:49:28.079 the West Virginia versus EPA case which said no, a 792 00:49:28.119 --> 00:49:31.719 tablespoon of water effectively is not a navigable body of water. 793 00:49:31.880 --> 00:49:34.760 You exceeded your regulatory authority under I think it was 794 00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:38.360 the Clean Water Act. There's just one after another, pairing 795 00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:43.039 it back and providing a constitutional slash legal challenge that 796 00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:49.679 Trump is intentionally inviting right now through his actions. So 797 00:49:50.639 --> 00:49:55.320 hopefully these efforts will bear fruit. Six sixteen fifty five 798 00:49:55.400 --> 00:49:58.360 KRC Detalk station stick around. Feel free to call.

My daughter's fiance, Eric turned 826 00:51:26.039 --> 00:51:33.360 thirty yesterday, so happy birthday, Eric. He's a good kid. 827 00:51:33.679 --> 00:51:37.239 We're happy that those two are getting married. Anyway, Uh, 828 00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:40.639 I asked you to quip a Plague Update theme song, 829 00:51:40.679 --> 00:51:43.159 but it's unnecessary since I'm gonna do it anyway. Joe 830 00:51:43.199 --> 00:51:46.239 and we have to do the David Bowie song at 831 00:51:46.280 --> 00:51:49.119 that point on Fridays anyhow. But this is kind of 832 00:51:49.199 --> 00:51:52.360 frightening thing, and you know it's coming on the heels 833 00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:54.960 of COVID nineteen and all the insanity that we were 834 00:51:55.039 --> 00:51:59.960 that that brought about. You remember that US Department of 835 00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:04.440 Agriculture's Animal Plant Health Inspection Service announced earlier this week 836 00:52:04.519 --> 00:52:08.360 on Wednesday, that the avian flu aka H five and 837 00:52:08.599 --> 00:52:14.119 one has been detected in rats in California. Black rats 838 00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:18.320 found to have this highly contagious bird flu. Apparently they 839 00:52:18.400 --> 00:52:22.280 discovered in late January and Riverside County, California, which they 840 00:52:22.360 --> 00:52:26.239 had two recent poultry outbreaks. Makes you think the rats 841 00:52:26.280 --> 00:52:28.679 may have been eaten the chickens, don't know. Agency update 842 00:52:28.760 --> 00:52:30.960 released this week knows that did H five N one 843 00:52:31.039 --> 00:52:35.000 detection in a fox in North Dakota, a harbor seal 844 00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:40.800 in Massachusetts, a bobcat in Washington State. And here's a 845 00:52:40.840 --> 00:52:43.920 frightening one from my cat loving people out there. Eric 846 00:52:44.800 --> 00:52:55.480 domestic cats in Oregon and Montana. USDA said and Steve 847 00:52:55.519 --> 00:52:59.280 and all those several oppositions supporting highly pathogenic avian influenza 848 00:52:59.360 --> 00:53:01.920 were notified the terminations over the weekend. We were working 849 00:53:02.000 --> 00:53:05.519 to swiftly rectify the situation and restind those letters. Yep, 850 00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:09.159 USDA had removed. USDA had removed and to rehire the 851 00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:12.599 critical staff who worked on the avian flu area. So 852 00:53:12.960 --> 00:53:15.079 that was one of those perhaps ready fire aim kind 853 00:53:15.119 --> 00:53:17.320 of things from the Trump administration. Hey, we're firing all 854 00:53:17.400 --> 00:53:19.119 of you, and oh my god, by the way, maybe 855 00:53:19.159 --> 00:53:21.079 we're bringing you back because we still have an ever 856 00:53:21.159 --> 00:53:23.599 growing increasing amount of av and flu floating around out there. 857 00:53:25.239 --> 00:53:28.159 According to Representative Don Bacon, Republican of Nebraska, speaking with 858 00:53:28.199 --> 00:53:30.480 the AP, while President Trump is fulfilling his promise to 859 00:53:30.559 --> 00:53:33.599 shed light on waste fraud abuse, and government does needs 860 00:53:33.639 --> 00:53:37.119 to measure twice and cut once. Downsizing decisions must be 861 00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:41.000 narrowly tailored to preserve the critical missions. Which is kind 862 00:53:41.000 --> 00:53:43.199 of funny because I was having a conversation along these 863 00:53:43.239 --> 00:53:46.119 lines with my sister yesterday, who is a little miffed 864 00:53:47.400 --> 00:53:52.559 at just the outright wholesale firing of thousands and thousands 865 00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:56.199 of people, believing the administration did engage in a ready 866 00:53:56.239 --> 00:53:59.920 fire aim process. I'll let you draw your own conclusions 867 00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:03.079 on that. But we do have an overly outsized government. 868 00:54:05.159 --> 00:54:08.000 Let's see, since the latest outbreak of bird flu back 869 00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:10.920 in nineteen or in twenty twenty two, one hundred and 870 00:54:11.119 --> 00:54:16.840 sixty million birds have been euthanized, and since most of 871 00:54:16.880 --> 00:54:19.639 them were chickens, you know why your egg prices are high. 872 00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:26.280 And I always tried to kind of bite my tongue 873 00:54:26.320 --> 00:54:28.760 with the Biden administration and can connecting that to the 874 00:54:28.920 --> 00:54:31.400 bird or to the egg prices which went up throughout 875 00:54:31.440 --> 00:54:34.360 the Biden administration. Yes, they were responsible for a large 876 00:54:34.400 --> 00:54:36.840 measure of inflation, but they had nothing to do at 877 00:54:36.920 --> 00:54:39.360 least I don't believe in the conspiracy that Joe Biden 878 00:54:39.440 --> 00:54:46.079 unleashed bird flu on the world. But egg prices have 879 00:54:46.159 --> 00:54:48.679 gone up over five bucks a dozen in a lot 880 00:54:48.760 --> 00:54:51.719 of areas of the state. So now they deal with 881 00:54:51.840 --> 00:54:54.119 bird flu by killing all the birds? 882 00:54:54.199 --> 00:54:54.360 Right? 883 00:54:55.760 --> 00:54:58.079 Are we going to go out and just just wholesale 884 00:54:58.360 --> 00:55:01.199 kill literally every moving eacher now that is capable of 885 00:55:01.280 --> 00:55:04.679 getting bird FLUU and you know chapter two human bird flu, 886 00:55:06.039 --> 00:55:08.880 And from all accounts, it really isn't that severe. You 887 00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:11.679 get red, watery eyes, it's almost like kind of a cold. 888 00:55:12.800 --> 00:55:15.320 So are we gonna have a massive overreaction to this 889 00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:23.360 like you do with COVID? I hope not. Part of 890 00:55:23.400 --> 00:55:25.840 me thinks that you know if there is an effort 891 00:55:26.039 --> 00:55:29.840 to engage in one of these massive overreactions that the 892 00:55:29.920 --> 00:55:33.639 general public having been lied to about COVID nineteen, most 893 00:55:33.719 --> 00:55:37.039 notably the COVID vaccine, which early on we were told 894 00:55:37.159 --> 00:55:39.760 absolutely prevented you from getting it and spreading it. That 895 00:55:39.880 --> 00:55:43.400 was a lie and they knew it then. Doctor Deborah 896 00:55:43.440 --> 00:55:47.760 bricks On Burks, rather was a White House Coordinator Response 897 00:55:47.800 --> 00:55:50.599 coordinator under President Trump, admitted during a recent appearance on 898 00:55:50.679 --> 00:55:53.920 Piers Morgan that the government did in fact lie to us, 899 00:55:57.159 --> 00:55:58.840 and that early treatment would have been the key to it. 900 00:55:59.000 --> 00:56:01.400 Not a vaccine. They pushed the vaccine down on a 901 00:56:01.400 --> 00:56:06.480 whole bunch of people who were not supposed to get it. Fact, 902 00:56:06.559 --> 00:56:09.079 back in twenty twenty two, Jim Jordan was talking with her. 903 00:56:09.679 --> 00:56:11.880 He said, when the government told us the vaccination couldn't 904 00:56:11.880 --> 00:56:17.519 transmit COVID, was that a lie or a guess? Doctor burks, 905 00:56:17.679 --> 00:56:21.679 I think it was hope that the vaccine would work 906 00:56:21.719 --> 00:56:28.079 in that way. Hmm. Now apparently she's claiming the vaccine 907 00:56:28.119 --> 00:56:31.199 rollout also ignored science. She stated that the mRNA jab 908 00:56:31.320 --> 00:56:35.400 was developed to target those at high risk of severe illness, 909 00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:40.000 not specifically the general population. Quote the messenger, RNA vaccine 910 00:56:40.079 --> 00:56:42.280 should have been rolled out for the people that were 911 00:56:42.320 --> 00:56:45.320 at risk for severe disease, because that's what the vaccine 912 00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:49.119 was developed for, she said. She also admitted COVID shot 913 00:56:49.239 --> 00:56:52.760 was never designed to prevent infection. Quote. This was not 914 00:56:52.920 --> 00:56:54.920 what the covid vaccine was designed to do. It was 915 00:56:55.119 --> 00:56:59.800 not designed against infection. Well thanks for letting us know 916 00:57:00.119 --> 00:57:04.159 now this far back out in the game. Someone needs 917 00:57:04.199 --> 00:57:07.400 to send this article over to children so they quit 918 00:57:07.480 --> 00:57:10.719 denying heart transplants to young people who didn't get the 919 00:57:10.800 --> 00:57:13.760 vaccine and apparently, at least under the emissions of doctor 920 00:57:13.800 --> 00:57:18.079 Burke's were never intended to get it. Six twenty seven 921 00:57:18.119 --> 00:57:20.559 fifty five krc DE talk station pressed Degonteriers to have 922 00:57:20.559 --> 00:57:23.400 an awesome kitchen remodeled to your satisfaction.

Dave 945 00:58:21.280 --> 00:58:22.800 had it brought to you by Interest I T which 946 00:58:22.840 --> 00:58:25.559 is his company. And computers are what they're all about, 947 00:58:25.679 --> 00:58:28.440 and business computing problems and needs are the things that 948 00:58:28.519 --> 00:58:30.559 they deal with. And Saul, welcome back. Dave hat Or 949 00:58:30.559 --> 00:58:32.039 always appreciate coming on the program. 950 00:58:32.719 --> 00:58:35.079 Always my pleasure to be here, Brian look forward to 951 00:58:35.159 --> 00:58:35.639 it every week. 952 00:58:35.840 --> 00:58:39.960 I appreciate that too time to delete the most invasive 953 00:58:40.039 --> 00:58:43.880 apps on your phone, suggesting we all are invasive to 954 00:58:43.960 --> 00:58:47.199 some degree. You've ided the most invasive one. Let's talk 955 00:58:47.239 --> 00:58:47.519 about this. 956 00:58:48.440 --> 00:58:50.559 Yeah, and I encourage people to go see this from 957 00:58:50.599 --> 00:58:54.199 solf PC magazine. Put this together based on research from 958 00:58:55.360 --> 00:58:57.440 a guy who does this sort of thing. And the 959 00:58:57.480 --> 00:58:59.199 reason why I encourage people to look at it and 960 00:58:59.239 --> 00:59:01.800 I'll put it in my notes with the link is 961 00:59:01.920 --> 00:59:04.800 they break down categories. So yeah, I agree with you, Bryan. 962 00:59:04.960 --> 00:59:07.440 All apps are collecting some data, and you know, all 963 00:59:07.960 --> 00:59:09.840 all apps need to collect a certain amount of data 964 00:59:09.840 --> 00:59:11.960 to perform whatever service it is they perform for you. 965 00:59:12.599 --> 00:59:14.679 The problem is so many of these things collect a 966 00:59:14.719 --> 00:59:17.639 lot more data that really has no benefit to you, 967 00:59:17.840 --> 00:59:20.079 but lots of benefit to these companies. As a reminder, 968 00:59:20.280 --> 00:59:23.039 if an app is free, an app, software platform, whatever 969 00:59:23.159 --> 00:59:25.400 whatever you want to call it is free, it's because 970 00:59:25.440 --> 00:59:28.239 you are the product, not the customers. So this guy 971 00:59:28.360 --> 00:59:31.280 broke this down into categories. Percent of personal data shared 972 00:59:31.320 --> 00:59:34.159 with third parties, percent of personal data collected for developers, 973 00:59:34.239 --> 00:59:37.719 advertising or marketing, percent of personal data collected for analytics, 974 00:59:37.800 --> 00:59:41.280 percent of personal data collected for product personalization, percent of 975 00:59:41.320 --> 00:59:43.960 personal data collected for app functionality and percent of personal 976 00:59:44.039 --> 00:59:48.039 data collected for quote other purposes unquote. Now some of 977 00:59:48.119 --> 00:59:52.199 these categories. You know, percent of data collected for analytics. Okay, 978 00:59:52.599 --> 00:59:54.960 that's understandable. They need that to figure out does the 979 00:59:55.039 --> 00:59:57.760 thing work? How could they improve it? You know, percent 980 00:59:57.840 --> 01:00:02.000 collected for product personalization. Again, that's helping you in theory, right, 981 01:00:02.079 --> 01:00:04.360 They're making the product more personalized to you based on 982 01:00:04.440 --> 01:00:08.599 that data. Data collected for app functionality. Okay, Again, it's 983 01:00:08.719 --> 01:00:10.880 required for the app to provide the service to you. 984 01:00:11.000 --> 01:00:13.760 I get it. But personal data shared with third parties 985 01:00:13.840 --> 01:00:17.039 is disturbing, you know, advertising, our marketing. That's how they're 986 01:00:17.039 --> 01:00:20.400 making their money, and as is selling it to third parties. 987 01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:23.239 But collected for other purposes, well, what is that? 988 01:00:24.119 --> 01:00:26.679 Well? I love these I love these two sentences back 989 01:00:26.679 --> 01:00:29.559 to back. For example, why would a calendar app need 990 01:00:29.639 --> 01:00:32.760 access to the health data on your phone? Why would 991 01:00:32.800 --> 01:00:37.679 a calculator require your list of contact? That's the nefarious 992 01:00:37.679 --> 01:00:39.719 elements going on behind the scene with all these apps. 993 01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:42.159 You give them permissions and they just go scoop everything up. 994 01:00:43.000 --> 01:00:45.639 Yes, because it's in their interest and that's how they're 995 01:00:45.639 --> 01:00:48.119 making their money. And you know in general, Brian, the 996 01:00:48.239 --> 01:00:49.960 less apps you have, the better off you'll be. On 997 01:00:50.079 --> 01:00:53.480 my Apple phone, I have some work related stuff that 998 01:00:53.559 --> 01:00:56.320 I need for interust and other than that and the 999 01:00:56.360 --> 01:00:59.039 apps that came on my phone, I have virtually nothing 1000 01:00:59.320 --> 01:01:02.639 and almost nothing on this list except LinkedIn because I 1001 01:01:02.800 --> 01:01:05.320 use it for work. But when you look at this list, 1002 01:01:05.559 --> 01:01:07.840 it's all the players you and I have been talking 1003 01:01:07.840 --> 01:01:12.360 about now for ten plus years. Number one Facebook, Slash, Messenger, 1004 01:01:12.480 --> 01:01:16.760 and Instagram threads all meta platforms. Sixty eight point six 1005 01:01:16.880 --> 01:01:21.920 percent of your data is shared with third parties, seventy 1006 01:01:21.960 --> 01:01:25.800 one point four percent collected for other purposes, sixty eight 1007 01:01:25.840 --> 01:01:30.960 point six percent collected for advertising or marketing. You know, 1008 01:01:31.920 --> 01:01:35.039 Google makes many entries in this list. LinkedIn didn't make 1009 01:01:35.079 --> 01:01:37.840 it at number two thirty seven point one percent, so 1010 01:01:38.159 --> 01:01:41.920 roughly half of what the Facebook platforms are collecting. And 1011 01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:44.679 as a reminder, Microsoft owns LinkedIn that that does not 1012 01:01:45.559 --> 01:01:48.480 eschew any responsibility or and I'm not saying that makes 1013 01:01:48.519 --> 01:01:51.559 them better. I just like to remind people in general, 1014 01:01:51.800 --> 01:01:54.400 Microsoft is less in the business of selling your data 1015 01:01:54.440 --> 01:01:57.360 and more in the business of selling you software products 1016 01:01:57.920 --> 01:01:59.920 Like Apple right, they're in the business of selling you 1017 01:02:00.119 --> 01:02:02.239 hardware and software and not your data. I'm not saying 1018 01:02:02.239 --> 01:02:04.239 they don't collect it. I'm not saying they might not 1019 01:02:04.400 --> 01:02:06.840 sell it, and I'm not saying that couldn't change, saying 1020 01:02:06.880 --> 01:02:09.480 their business model is different than these companies like Meta 1021 01:02:09.840 --> 01:02:12.480 the parent of Facebook, or Alphabet the patent of Google, 1022 01:02:12.920 --> 01:02:16.599 where almost their entire business model relies on collecting your data. 1023 01:02:17.119 --> 01:02:19.599 And then, going back to your comment, quoting from this article, 1024 01:02:19.679 --> 01:02:22.679 you know you have apps on here like Candy Crush 1025 01:02:22.920 --> 01:02:26.679 and Roadblocks, and Roadblocks is essentially a kids game. I mean, 1026 01:02:26.719 --> 01:02:30.400 adults play it, but it's really a kids game Candy Crush. Now, 1027 01:02:30.679 --> 01:02:33.800 they also are collecting a lot less data relative to 1028 01:02:34.159 --> 01:02:37.760 some of the other Hoover type apps on here. But 1029 01:02:38.039 --> 01:02:41.280 you know, again, why does why does a calculator need 1030 01:02:41.400 --> 01:02:45.199 to know your location? It doesn't to just perform math functions. Right, 1031 01:02:46.039 --> 01:02:49.920 So the big takeaway, in my opinion, Brian, people should 1032 01:02:49.920 --> 01:02:54.280 look at this again, Google Maps, Google, Amazon, Prime Video, YouTube. 1033 01:02:55.360 --> 01:02:59.320 There's lots of very very common apps, probably almost everyone 1034 01:02:59.360 --> 01:03:03.159 you're listening and interfaces with. And the three takeaways I 1035 01:03:03.159 --> 01:03:07.840 would say are less apps is better if a product, service, platform, 1036 01:03:07.960 --> 01:03:11.039 whatever has a web based version like Facebook. Right started 1037 01:03:11.079 --> 01:03:13.079 out as a web based thing and then they built 1038 01:03:13.119 --> 01:03:15.280 an app for it, And frankly, it's because the app, 1039 01:03:15.360 --> 01:03:17.360 you know, is more convenient for people in some ways, 1040 01:03:17.440 --> 01:03:20.920 and it definitely can collect a lot more data anything 1041 01:03:20.960 --> 01:03:22.920 that you can use through a browser. If you have 1042 01:03:22.960 --> 01:03:26.679 a privacy friendly browser like Brave or Firefox, and you 1043 01:03:26.760 --> 01:03:29.280 have a VPN and you lock that down, the amount 1044 01:03:29.280 --> 01:03:32.079 of information they can collect about you is nominal at 1045 01:03:32.159 --> 01:03:35.280 best unless you explicitly give it to them. So most 1046 01:03:35.360 --> 01:03:37.239 of these things on here you can use a browser 1047 01:03:37.239 --> 01:03:40.320 and then finally, you know, read the privacy label and 1048 01:03:40.719 --> 01:03:43.159 then decide for yourself does it make sense to use 1049 01:03:43.199 --> 01:03:44.800 an app that's collecting all this data? 1050 01:03:45.079 --> 01:03:47.480 Make an informed decision, which is why we have you, Dave, 1051 01:03:47.559 --> 01:03:49.719 while you're so valuable to this program on my listening 1052 01:03:49.760 --> 01:03:52.800 audience six thirty seven will come back.

Chinese evs are threat 1080 01:05:08.679 --> 01:05:10.440 to national security and privacy. 1081 01:05:11.920 --> 01:05:15.880 Yeah, big chaka, right. So this actually is an op 1082 01:05:16.039 --> 01:05:18.000 ed I wrote that got picked up by some local 1083 01:05:18.079 --> 01:05:22.480 papers just worrying about I mean, all modern cars are 1084 01:05:22.559 --> 01:05:24.920 basically rolling, rolling surveillance devices. 1085 01:05:25.039 --> 01:05:25.360 Ye, thank you. 1086 01:05:25.440 --> 01:05:28.840 And I've talked about this before Mozilla. I encourage people 1087 01:05:29.000 --> 01:05:31.239 to check this out on any number of things. Mozilla, 1088 01:05:31.320 --> 01:05:33.599 the people that make the Firefox browser, have a website 1089 01:05:33.639 --> 01:05:37.280 called Privacy Not Included. It's a valuable place to go 1090 01:05:37.599 --> 01:05:40.360 to learn about anything you might be thinking about buying. Now, 1091 01:05:40.400 --> 01:05:44.599 obviously they don't know everything about every product on the planet, 1092 01:05:44.760 --> 01:05:47.480 but they have a very large catalog of things they've 1093 01:05:47.480 --> 01:05:50.039 looked into. So, you know, any sort of Internet of 1094 01:05:50.079 --> 01:05:52.400 Things device you might be thinking about, good place to 1095 01:05:52.440 --> 01:05:54.239 take a look at that and to try to focus 1096 01:05:54.360 --> 01:05:56.920 on the vendors that are making more privacy your things. 1097 01:05:56.920 --> 01:05:58.639 And I bring that up again because they did a 1098 01:05:58.800 --> 01:06:02.239 large expose on modern cars and the amount of information 1099 01:06:02.320 --> 01:06:05.320 they're collecting. You know, they're full of computers, they're collecting 1100 01:06:05.360 --> 01:06:07.679 all kinds of data and kind of like that last 1101 01:06:07.719 --> 01:06:10.079 story we did Brian, where you know, people are these 1102 01:06:10.119 --> 01:06:13.239 companies are collecting information in some cases for your benefit 1103 01:06:13.320 --> 01:06:16.440 and in some cases to provide the service. In other cases, 1104 01:06:16.599 --> 01:06:19.400 and in most cases it's for their benefit. So these 1105 01:06:19.519 --> 01:06:22.599 modern cars, they have microphones, they have cameras, they have 1106 01:06:22.639 --> 01:06:25.559 all kinds of sensors. They're collecting all kinds of information 1107 01:06:25.719 --> 01:06:28.159 that I would argue to you as the owner of 1108 01:06:28.239 --> 01:06:30.280 the car, And even that I would question, are you 1109 01:06:30.280 --> 01:06:32.039 even really the owner of a car now? Because you 1110 01:06:32.119 --> 01:06:34.519 can't really fix it or do anything to it. But anyway, 1111 01:06:35.639 --> 01:06:38.119 it's kind of wild. And now when you throw into 1112 01:06:38.199 --> 01:06:40.280 the mix, and you know, we see this over and 1113 01:06:40.360 --> 01:06:43.920 over again. DHS has recently warned about surveillance cameras made 1114 01:06:43.960 --> 01:06:47.480 in China if you're buying products. And I hate this 1115 01:06:47.679 --> 01:06:49.840 because this is it's not about the people of China. 1116 01:06:49.960 --> 01:06:52.679 It's not about not liking the Chinese people. It's all 1117 01:06:52.719 --> 01:06:54.400 about the Chinese card. 1118 01:06:55.079 --> 01:06:58.880 Yes, accuse you of racism because you're upset about the 1119 01:06:59.039 --> 01:07:01.719 Chinese Commune Party whover that data. 1120 01:07:03.039 --> 01:07:05.639 It's their government, right, it's the government. It's the problem. 1121 01:07:05.679 --> 01:07:09.440 They're increasingly adversarial with us, and with these cars coming 1122 01:07:09.559 --> 01:07:13.639 from China controlled by the People's Republic of China, they're 1123 01:07:13.719 --> 01:07:16.239 full of sensors, they're collecting all kinds of data, just 1124 01:07:16.400 --> 01:07:19.480 like the non Chinese cars. But the issue is, you know, 1125 01:07:19.639 --> 01:07:22.400 you have an adversarial country. They have actual laws, you 1126 01:07:22.440 --> 01:07:25.360 can look them up in China, but say, any Chinese 1127 01:07:25.400 --> 01:07:28.159 company must turn over any information that the government wants 1128 01:07:28.159 --> 01:07:30.599 anytime they want it. But this is so much more 1129 01:07:30.639 --> 01:07:32.840 than the data. It's the same argument with TikTok. Yes, 1130 01:07:32.920 --> 01:07:35.320 the data is bad. You know, once you connect your 1131 01:07:35.400 --> 01:07:38.400 phone to the infotainment center in your car, can all 1132 01:07:38.480 --> 01:07:41.719 of your contacts, your texts, everything off that phone, just 1133 01:07:41.920 --> 01:07:45.480 like with TikTok, go back to China through the car manufacturer. Well, 1134 01:07:45.519 --> 01:07:48.960 yes it could. But the more important thing is can 1135 01:07:49.079 --> 01:07:52.679 these devices then basically be rolling surveillance tools for China. 1136 01:07:53.119 --> 01:07:56.400 It's well documented that during the Russian Ukraine War, Russia 1137 01:07:56.519 --> 01:07:59.920 was hacking surveillance cameras, webcams, whatever you want to call them, 1138 01:08:00.320 --> 01:08:03.320 and then using them to target things in Ukraine because 1139 01:08:03.360 --> 01:08:06.800 they're cheap, crappy Internet of Things, dumpster fires like so 1140 01:08:06.920 --> 01:08:10.119 much of this stuff. Is it feasible that while you're 1141 01:08:10.199 --> 01:08:14.719 driving around in your PRC controlled car, it's collecting surveillance 1142 01:08:14.920 --> 01:08:17.479 that in the event of a hot war they would 1143 01:08:17.560 --> 01:08:20.680 use against us. Yes, that is very feasible. But even 1144 01:08:20.800 --> 01:08:24.119 worse because the car is all computerized, it's all digital, 1145 01:08:24.520 --> 01:08:26.960 could have back doors in the software that would eventually 1146 01:08:27.000 --> 01:08:29.279 allow them to send commands to the car and then 1147 01:08:29.319 --> 01:08:31.840 in self driving mode, it would become a weapon. Yes, 1148 01:08:31.960 --> 01:08:35.039 that is absolutely within the realm of possibility. They could 1149 01:08:35.239 --> 01:08:38.079 at five o'clock on a Friday, at rush hour, decide 1150 01:08:38.159 --> 01:08:41.880 every model of car X. Now, again this isn't exclusive 1151 01:08:41.920 --> 01:08:47.520 to Chinese evs. Any car that has self driving mode 1152 01:08:47.560 --> 01:08:50.079 could theoretically be hacked like this. But when you have 1153 01:08:50.159 --> 01:08:54.239 an adversarial nation, they're you know, crashing ships over near Taiwan, 1154 01:08:54.359 --> 01:08:57.159 They're doing all kinds of stuff. They've you know, there's 1155 01:08:57.359 --> 01:09:00.600 it's well documented and you've had FBI DA chest says 1156 01:09:00.640 --> 01:09:04.840 a warning about infiltration in our telecom networks, infiltration and 1157 01:09:04.920 --> 01:09:07.680 our critical infrastructure. Could they turn these you know, these 1158 01:09:07.760 --> 01:09:09.880 cars are very heavy, They're full of all kinds of 1159 01:09:09.960 --> 01:09:13.119 toxic chemicals in these batteries. If a if a six 1160 01:09:13.239 --> 01:09:17.239 thousand pound rolling missile were to suddenly accelerate to one 1161 01:09:17.319 --> 01:09:19.640 hundred and twenty miles an hour and run into the 1162 01:09:19.680 --> 01:09:24.159 local duke substation, What do you think would happen? So again, 1163 01:09:24.479 --> 01:09:27.079 I yeah, I know a lot of this sounds far 1164 01:09:27.119 --> 01:09:28.960 if fetched to people, or where to roll into like 1165 01:09:29.039 --> 01:09:32.760 a gas refinding plant or whatever. Pick whatever local target 1166 01:09:33.079 --> 01:09:36.319 that could cause chaos, bring the grid down, disrupt this 1167 01:09:36.760 --> 01:09:39.960 supply chain. That's where we're at with this stuff. Now again, 1168 01:09:40.119 --> 01:09:43.880 I'm not saying that a foreign adversary couldn't do similar 1169 01:09:43.960 --> 01:09:46.479 things to cars that aren't coming from China, But I'm 1170 01:09:46.520 --> 01:09:50.920 saying by buying chot cars controlled by the People's Republic 1171 01:09:51.000 --> 01:09:55.920 of China, you literally could be putting actual surveillance devices 1172 01:09:55.960 --> 01:09:59.439 and weapons on our streets. So yeah, we need to 1173 01:09:59.479 --> 01:10:03.319 take a strong, long stance against this. It's just a 1174 01:10:03.399 --> 01:10:05.640 bad idea and people should not be buying these things. 1175 01:10:06.079 --> 01:10:08.880 I agree completely. And you know, it makes someone who 1176 01:10:08.920 --> 01:10:11.079 doesn't like laws on the books all the time, for 1177 01:10:11.119 --> 01:10:13.600 every little problem that we encounter, makes me think that 1178 01:10:13.680 --> 01:10:17.319 we should not allow the Chinese Communist Party controlled countries 1179 01:10:17.439 --> 01:10:19.199 vehicles to come into our country. For all of these 1180 01:10:19.279 --> 01:10:23.079 reasons and so many more, it represents a security threat 1181 01:10:23.640 --> 01:10:26.199 to the United States of America period. 1182 01:10:26.279 --> 01:10:28.800 It really does. As crazy as that may sound to people, 1183 01:10:28.840 --> 01:10:30.920 And you know, again, I'll link to opbed. I encourage 1184 01:10:30.920 --> 01:10:32.319 people to go read it, share it, share it with 1185 01:10:32.399 --> 01:10:36.199 your elected officials. I think the more people that understand 1186 01:10:36.279 --> 01:10:38.640 this and I can do some research and see the 1187 01:10:38.720 --> 01:10:42.079 risks for themselves, will realize while like you, I'm generally 1188 01:10:42.159 --> 01:10:46.560 against regulation, this is such a potential threat. We just 1189 01:10:46.840 --> 01:10:47.960 we need to not allow this. 1190 01:10:48.319 --> 01:10:51.239 We definitely should put it to a stop. Coming up next, 1191 01:10:51.359 --> 01:10:53.560 video shows how easy it is to install install a 1192 01:10:53.760 --> 01:10:57.359 card skimmer. One more with Tech Friday's Dave Hatter. Thanks 1193 01:10:57.439 --> 01:11:00.680 to interest it dot Com. Peter Shabria Ler Williams seven 1194 01:11:00.760 --> 01:11:03.399 Hills the ultimate group of real estate agents. They provide 1195 01:11:03.640 --> 01:11:06.920 significant value. When you retain Peter Shabia Kelorwilliams seven Hills 1196 01:11:07.279 --> 01:11:10.119 for your buyer or seller's agent, you're getting the best 1197 01:11:10.239 --> 01:11:13.520 in the greater Cincinnati area and their entire team knows 1198 01:11:13.560 --> 01:11:15.239 how competitive the market is out there and they want 1199 01:11:15.239 --> 01:11:16.960 to help you ensure that you land your dream home. 1200 01:11:17.039 --> 01:11:18.920 So one of the programs they offer, it's called cash 1201 01:11:18.960 --> 01:11:22.479 to Keys program. As a buyer with the Sabri Group, 1202 01:11:22.680 --> 01:11:25.479 qualified clients can leverage that Cash to Keys program, which 1203 01:11:25.479 --> 01:11:27.720 will allow you to make a cash offer on that 1204 01:11:27.840 --> 01:11:29.439 home you've got your eye on, and I know you 1205 01:11:29.520 --> 01:11:31.479 don't have a whole suitcase full of cash to make 1206 01:11:31.520 --> 01:11:33.800 the full off payment. That's where the cash toa keys 1207 01:11:33.880 --> 01:11:37.239 program comes in. This often leads to a lower price 1208 01:11:37.399 --> 01:11:40.600 and better terms because sellers love cash offers. It's over 1209 01:11:40.680 --> 01:11:43.680 and done with so quickly. This is the reason that 1210 01:11:43.720 --> 01:11:46.000 you always get the five star experience with Peter Shabia 1211 01:11:46.079 --> 01:11:49.359 Kellorwilliams seven Hills and you will so tap into the 1212 01:11:49.439 --> 01:11:51.199 cash to keys program or any one of the other 1213 01:11:51.239 --> 01:11:53.840 programs they offer at Shabri Group of Kelorwilliams seven Hills. 1214 01:11:53.880 --> 01:11:56.560 To figure out how to do that, go to Sabri 1215 01:11:56.680 --> 01:11:59.920 Group's website which is seven zero eight three thousand dot com. 1216 01:12:00.359 --> 01:12:02.479 Seven zero eight three thousand dot com. You can use 1217 01:12:02.479 --> 01:12:04.760 your search engine to search debris C J B R 1218 01:12:04.880 --> 01:12:08.640 I S Group or call yes five one three seven 1219 01:12:08.760 --> 01:12:09.720 zero eight three. 1220 01:12:09.640 --> 01:12:11.279 Thousand fifty five. 1221 01:12:11.479 --> 01:12:15.000 KRC This is Ben Bullen from stuff They if you 1222 01:12:15.079 --> 01:12:17.920 about KRCD talk station bright time to see what Dave 1223 01:12:17.960 --> 01:12:20.000 had it from Interest I T. They sponsored the segment 1224 01:12:20.039 --> 01:12:21.880 and I sure appreciate them doing at interest I T 1225 01:12:22.079 --> 01:12:25.479 dot com. For all your business computer needs UH card skimmers, 1226 01:12:25.520 --> 01:12:27.079 there's still there's still a thing, huh, Dave. 1227 01:12:28.199 --> 01:12:31.760 Unfortunately a R Brian. This was a story that was 1228 01:12:32.000 --> 01:12:34.359 reported on I mean, this has happened here, it's made 1229 01:12:34.399 --> 01:12:36.720 the local media many times, but this was a story 1230 01:12:36.800 --> 01:12:40.079 from w x y Z and Detroit, and they have 1231 01:12:40.279 --> 01:12:43.520 video of a guy actually placing a card skimmer in 1232 01:12:43.600 --> 01:12:45.680 a store. It's interesting. He kind of distracts the clerk 1233 01:12:45.760 --> 01:12:48.960 he's paying with cash, and you watch him kind of 1234 01:12:49.079 --> 01:12:51.560 manipulate the point of sales system there. And you know, 1235 01:12:51.680 --> 01:12:54.319 the problem with so much of this technology now is 1236 01:12:54.479 --> 01:12:56.960 is as it wrapped up the advances, it gets smaller 1237 01:12:57.000 --> 01:12:59.680 and more capable. And you know, in the old days, 1238 01:12:59.760 --> 01:13:02.479 one of the red flags for a skimmer on a 1239 01:13:02.520 --> 01:13:04.920 device would be they'd have to mess with the aperture 1240 01:13:04.960 --> 01:13:08.000 where the card goes in, right, So sometimes it might 1241 01:13:08.079 --> 01:13:09.840 have an overlay over it, or it would look a 1242 01:13:09.880 --> 01:13:12.800 little different, or it would be loose. And almost all 1243 01:13:12.840 --> 01:13:15.039 of that stuff is no longer relevant because so many 1244 01:13:15.039 --> 01:13:17.720 of these things are basically about the size of a 1245 01:13:17.800 --> 01:13:22.000 credit card themselves, maybe smaller. They drop them inside the 1246 01:13:22.079 --> 01:13:25.159 device that doesn't really require any sort of manipulation of 1247 01:13:25.239 --> 01:13:28.600 the device itself. There's no extra thing sitting over the 1248 01:13:28.680 --> 01:13:31.399 top of it. It doesn't look funny, it's not loose. 1249 01:13:31.560 --> 01:13:33.760 It's down inside the device. So when you put your 1250 01:13:33.840 --> 01:13:38.159 card in there, it can read that mag stripe. So yeah, 1251 01:13:38.399 --> 01:13:40.720 unfortunately now you know that's not always the case. But 1252 01:13:40.880 --> 01:13:46.079 the bottom line is these continue to get smaller, they're 1253 01:13:46.119 --> 01:13:49.720 easier to plant, and that the old school look like. 1254 01:13:49.920 --> 01:13:51.680 I can tell you before I put my credit card 1255 01:13:51.720 --> 01:13:54.119 in any device, I touch it, I try to move 1256 01:13:54.159 --> 01:13:56.680 it around, is it loose? Does it feel like it's 1257 01:13:56.720 --> 01:13:59.239 been manipulated in any way? And if so, I'm going 1258 01:13:59.319 --> 01:14:02.159 to use a different device. But now because these things 1259 01:14:02.199 --> 01:14:05.680 can go inside, it's much more difficult to know if 1260 01:14:05.720 --> 01:14:06.359 there is a skill. 1261 01:14:06.680 --> 01:14:09.439 This seems to me to be most concerning when you're 1262 01:14:09.560 --> 01:14:12.079 using your debit card, because it's going to record your 1263 01:14:12.199 --> 01:14:14.479 pin number and they can empty your bank account out 1264 01:14:14.520 --> 01:14:17.039 of a moment. In a moment's notice, if you use 1265 01:14:17.079 --> 01:14:21.039 a credit card, is my recollection of the uniform commercial code. 1266 01:14:21.079 --> 01:14:24.039 You are only liable for fifty dollars if a fraudulent 1267 01:14:24.119 --> 01:14:26.640 transaction is made on your card, So you can unring 1268 01:14:26.760 --> 01:14:30.039 that bell by flagging that fraudulent transaction and having the 1269 01:14:30.079 --> 01:14:32.359 credit card go and claw the money back, but at 1270 01:14:32.439 --> 01:14:34.800 least your captain in terms of liability. So stealing a 1271 01:14:34.880 --> 01:14:37.760 credit card number, you know, I've had that happen before. 1272 01:14:37.840 --> 01:14:40.000 I've lost credit cards. He just asked for a new one. 1273 01:14:40.039 --> 01:14:42.399 And you just look at your transaction list to see 1274 01:14:42.399 --> 01:14:45.039 if there's any fraudulent transactions and you go on your 1275 01:14:45.079 --> 01:14:48.239 merry way. But if you get got your pin, you're screwed. 1276 01:14:49.119 --> 01:14:52.399 If you if you, I think there's like a time 1277 01:14:52.479 --> 01:14:54.840 limit on that. You're right about the fifty dollars limit. 1278 01:14:54.920 --> 01:14:56.800 I'm sure that, but I think there's a time limit 1279 01:14:56.880 --> 01:14:58.640 in which you have to report it for that cap 1280 01:14:58.720 --> 01:15:01.840 to kick in. But either way, yeah, I agree with 1281 01:15:02.000 --> 01:15:04.600 what you're saying. Essentially, it's better to use a credit 1282 01:15:04.680 --> 01:15:07.199 card than a debit card because you're letting you have 1283 01:15:07.359 --> 01:15:12.279 less exposure. But as a societal thing, you know that money, 1284 01:15:12.560 --> 01:15:15.520 you know that that's stolen money. Somebody's paying for it, 1285 01:15:15.560 --> 01:15:17.840 and it's ultimately us in the end with higher prices, 1286 01:15:17.920 --> 01:15:22.840 higher insurance costs, et cetera. And you know, bottom bottom 1287 01:15:22.920 --> 01:15:24.840 line I think really is you know, you should still 1288 01:15:25.319 --> 01:15:28.640 physically inspect a device before you put your card in there. 1289 01:15:29.079 --> 01:15:32.399 I also suggest that you try to use the point 1290 01:15:32.439 --> 01:15:34.520 of sale systems, whether it's a gas pump or in 1291 01:15:34.520 --> 01:15:37.319 a store or whatever, in the most highly trafficked places 1292 01:15:37.439 --> 01:15:40.520 where it's harder for them to manipulate it. You know, 1293 01:15:40.600 --> 01:15:42.760 if you're at a gas pump right by the clerk 1294 01:15:42.880 --> 01:15:44.840 where there's a lot of foot traffic, it's going to 1295 01:15:44.880 --> 01:15:46.800 be harder to manipulate that than it with the one 1296 01:15:46.880 --> 01:15:49.239 that's the furthest away and the most difficult to see, 1297 01:15:49.720 --> 01:15:51.840 you know, same in a store, So keep that in mind. 1298 01:15:51.880 --> 01:15:56.000 And then also things like tap to pay, which uses 1299 01:15:56.079 --> 01:16:00.359 near field communication. Now I'm not saying there's none skimmer 1300 01:16:00.399 --> 01:16:02.840 out there that can't read that too, Brian, I'm just 1301 01:16:02.880 --> 01:16:05.439 saying your average skimmer is trying to read the mag 1302 01:16:05.560 --> 01:16:07.760 strip on the back of the credit card, you know, 1303 01:16:07.920 --> 01:16:11.000 So tap to pay, Apple, pay, Venmo, that kind of thing. 1304 01:16:11.039 --> 01:16:13.319 Although I don't use Venmo or any of those services, 1305 01:16:13.439 --> 01:16:16.520 they have their own set of problems and no consumer protection. 1306 01:16:17.079 --> 01:16:20.359 You know, there are more secure ways, or go old school, 1307 01:16:20.359 --> 01:16:22.960 which I know you're a subscriber to pay if you 1308 01:16:23.000 --> 01:16:25.199 don't have any of these problems, good old cash. 1309 01:16:26.079 --> 01:16:29.199 That's my default method of paying has been paying in cash. 1310 01:16:29.479 --> 01:16:31.159 It served me well over the years. At least I 1311 01:16:31.239 --> 01:16:31.840 think it has. 1312 01:16:32.359 --> 01:16:35.079 Its keep you out of trouble, yeah, a lot less tracking. 1313 01:16:35.199 --> 01:16:36.680 It keeps you out of trouble along the lines of 1314 01:16:36.720 --> 01:16:38.279 what you're talking about, but it also keeps you out 1315 01:16:38.279 --> 01:16:40.880 of financial trouble because if you don't have the money right, 1316 01:16:41.760 --> 01:16:45.039 it'll prevent them from making a stupid mistake like an 1317 01:16:45.159 --> 01:16:48.000 impulse by Oh my god, there's that perse I love 1318 01:16:48.119 --> 01:16:51.479 so much. It's only five thousand dollars or whatever, you know, 1319 01:16:51.800 --> 01:16:53.760 and you're not going to put another credit card bill 1320 01:16:53.760 --> 01:16:54.680 that you won't be able to pay off at the 1321 01:16:54.760 --> 01:16:56.439 end of the month, So period, end of story. That's 1322 01:16:57.159 --> 01:16:59.359 it's a prudent way of going about life, at least 1323 01:16:59.359 --> 01:17:00.000 from my perspective. 1324 01:17:00.840 --> 01:17:02.319 And if I could just start out there real quick, 1325 01:17:02.439 --> 01:17:04.680 I'm going to be speaking on the twenty six for 1326 01:17:04.800 --> 01:17:06.920 the Circuit with a friend of mine, Adam Evans from 1327 01:17:06.960 --> 01:17:08.760 Densmore Shall We're going to be talking about how to 1328 01:17:08.880 --> 01:17:13.479 changing privacy laws are affecting it departments and just privacy 1329 01:17:13.520 --> 01:17:16.880 in general. So eight thirty to ten, twenty six, look 1330 01:17:16.960 --> 01:17:18.960 up the circuit. I'll post it in my notes. Hope 1331 01:17:18.960 --> 01:17:20.000 to see some listeners there. 1332 01:17:20.199 --> 01:17:22.800 Appreciate you doing that.

And thanks to the 1338 01:17:35.199 --> 01:17:37.640 entire crew at interest It for all you do for 1339 01:17:37.840 --> 01:17:41.079 area businesses with their computer issues.

Coming up Orlando Sons and what's 1343 01:17:46.680 --> 01:17:48.640 he been up to since Greg Land's been beat him 1344 01:17:48.640 --> 01:17:51.119 in the race. I'm still angry about that, but I 1345 01:17:51.199 --> 01:17:53.039 think he's got a future. We'll find out if he's 1346 01:17:53.079 --> 01:17:55.640 going to maybe reveal what that future might be. We'll 1347 01:17:55.640 --> 01:17:57.520 find out what he's been doing and his thoughts on 1348 01:17:57.880 --> 01:18:00.640 what's going on Washington, DC, Orlando's Sons. That will be 1349 01:18:00.720 --> 01:18:01.960 next from a. 1350 01:18:02.039 --> 01:18:04.760 Full rundown and the biggest ten lines there's minutes away 1351 01:18:05.000 --> 01:18:06.079 at the top of the hour. 1352 01:18:06.119 --> 01:18:08.800 I'm giving you a fact now, Americans should though fifty 1353 01:18:08.840 --> 01:18:12.079 five krs the talk station this REAP. 1354 01:18:28.239 --> 01:18:29.039 Seven five. 1355 01:18:29.279 --> 01:18:32.119 I think you have KRCD talk station. It's Friday and 1356 01:18:32.239 --> 01:18:35.640 a woo for Friday. Generally speaking, add an extra woohoo 1357 01:18:35.720 --> 01:18:39.039 because you get to talk with Orlando's sons. Welcome back 1358 01:18:39.039 --> 01:18:41.359 to Orlando Sons. I really appreciate you coming on the 1359 01:18:41.399 --> 01:18:43.039 program to day to give us an update about what's 1360 01:18:43.079 --> 01:18:44.319 been going on since the election. 1361 01:18:45.039 --> 01:18:47.560 Brian, How are you great to always be on with you. 1362 01:18:47.840 --> 01:18:50.680 I'm doing great. And how the wife and kids start 1363 01:18:50.720 --> 01:18:52.159 with the most important thing in your life. 1364 01:18:53.439 --> 01:18:57.880 They are fantastic. Look, we are headed into the springtime, 1365 01:18:58.079 --> 01:19:03.600 which hopefully we're were clear of the Cincinnati flux of weather. 1366 01:19:03.760 --> 01:19:05.920 But wife and kids are doing great. 1367 01:19:06.239 --> 01:19:09.000 It'sin today. Whether it is bipolar, there's no question about it. 1368 01:19:10.199 --> 01:19:11.159 Glad Cincinnati. 1369 01:19:11.319 --> 01:19:14.000 Yeah, Well, and there you go. We can go back 1370 01:19:14.039 --> 01:19:15.680 to the race against Greg Landsman. And one of the 1371 01:19:15.720 --> 01:19:19.039 most disappointing things in the November election for me was 1372 01:19:19.079 --> 01:19:21.960 that Greg Landsman prevailed. I just could not believe that 1373 01:19:22.159 --> 01:19:26.239 you are such a superior person. Your background, your quality 1374 01:19:26.279 --> 01:19:29.439 of your character, your service to our country, your experience. 1375 01:19:30.039 --> 01:19:32.279 I thought you would have brought so much of that seat. 1376 01:19:32.359 --> 01:19:34.800 And there we go. We got Greg Landsman, Gang of 1377 01:19:34.880 --> 01:19:37.640 five Landsman in the role, and by all accounts he's 1378 01:19:37.720 --> 01:19:40.079 keeping his head down and not really doing anything. 1379 01:19:41.720 --> 01:19:45.560 Well, you know, like we always I think thoughts throughout 1380 01:19:45.560 --> 01:19:48.680 the race, right, Brian, is that we weren't going against 1381 01:19:49.600 --> 01:19:53.399 necessarily our opponent. We were going against the index, specifically 1382 01:19:53.479 --> 01:19:57.319 in Hamilton County, in the city. So but we put 1383 01:19:57.359 --> 01:19:59.159 it all out in the field. I could not have 1384 01:19:59.279 --> 01:20:03.439 been more proud of the work that the team put 1385 01:20:03.479 --> 01:20:05.840 in and all the volunteers and all the support. But 1386 01:20:05.960 --> 01:20:09.079 we keep up the fight, We keep up the fight 1387 01:20:09.199 --> 01:20:09.840 moving forward. 1388 01:20:10.239 --> 01:20:12.560 Well, it hasn't taken the wind out of your sales, 1389 01:20:12.600 --> 01:20:15.119 I hope are you still considering something down the road 1390 01:20:15.159 --> 01:20:17.439 by way of elected office. 1391 01:20:19.680 --> 01:20:22.319 Well, look, Brian, what I say is this is that 1392 01:20:22.760 --> 01:20:25.880 for the current moment, I'm fully committed to the great 1393 01:20:25.960 --> 01:20:29.279 work that we're doing at the Hamilton County Veteran Service Commission. Yeah, 1394 01:20:29.600 --> 01:20:34.359 what greater honor and mission to help support and serve 1395 01:20:34.479 --> 01:20:38.399 those who have served our country. And in Hamilton County 1396 01:20:38.520 --> 01:20:42.840 with over forty thousand veterans, third largest county in Ohio 1397 01:20:43.000 --> 01:20:46.279 with by veteran population, we're doing good work at the 1398 01:20:46.319 --> 01:20:47.920 present time. I'm fully committed to it. 1399 01:20:48.399 --> 01:20:50.359 I'm glad to hear that, And what better person to 1400 01:20:50.399 --> 01:20:52.760 be in that role than you, who also probably served 1401 01:20:52.800 --> 01:20:56.159 your country. West Point graduate you were, and you know 1402 01:20:56.720 --> 01:20:58.760 your time in the service, I know is valuable to you, 1403 01:20:58.880 --> 01:21:01.159 and you learned a lot have the knowledge and experience 1404 01:21:01.199 --> 01:21:03.800 for that role because you understand what it is to 1405 01:21:03.960 --> 01:21:07.279 have served your country, which is I think it's a 1406 01:21:07.600 --> 01:21:09.279 necessary element to take that job. 1407 01:21:11.039 --> 01:21:11.159 Well. 1408 01:21:11.199 --> 01:21:13.520 I mean, that's what we're seeing right in our country 1409 01:21:13.600 --> 01:21:18.399 today is just this desperate need for a focus on 1410 01:21:18.760 --> 01:21:22.199 not just supporting those that have served, but for supporting 1411 01:21:22.279 --> 01:21:26.079 those that are currently serving. And so I believe I'm 1412 01:21:26.319 --> 01:21:30.399 just as much in the fight as anyone else that's 1413 01:21:30.439 --> 01:21:34.640 looking to again, whether it's revitalizing our military or just 1414 01:21:34.800 --> 01:21:38.479 showing that we are a country that supports those service 1415 01:21:38.560 --> 01:21:43.279 men and women that have sacrificed so much. It truly 1416 01:21:43.399 --> 01:21:45.600 is an honor, not just for me, but for my 1417 01:21:45.720 --> 01:21:48.159 wife as well as you know, Brian. She served her 1418 01:21:48.199 --> 01:21:52.800 country proudly, and I think the future is bright for 1419 01:21:52.920 --> 01:21:56.319 our country with the way that our military is again 1420 01:21:56.439 --> 01:21:57.319 being prioritized. 1421 01:21:57.439 --> 01:21:59.359 Well, see another reason you're happy you went to West 1422 01:21:59.359 --> 01:22:01.239 Point because that's where you met her, as I met 1423 01:22:01.279 --> 01:22:03.840 my wife in law school. Probably the best part about 1424 01:22:03.840 --> 01:22:05.399 going to law school is I got her out of 1425 01:22:05.439 --> 01:22:07.119 the thing. I mean, I got a law degree and 1426 01:22:07.159 --> 01:22:10.279 I practiced. But you know there there are there are priorities. 1427 01:22:10.359 --> 01:22:11.079 So you got that. 1428 01:22:11.720 --> 01:22:15.279 That's just like just like me. 1429 01:22:16.079 --> 01:22:17.520 Your wife also outranks you. 1430 01:22:17.960 --> 01:22:20.760 I know, we have to keep it that way to 1431 01:22:20.880 --> 01:22:23.800 that well, see we get okay, we you and I 1432 01:22:23.920 --> 01:22:26.800 both know you experience in Hamilton County's gone blue. I mean, 1433 01:22:27.000 --> 01:22:29.720 damn it. We lost the prosecutor's office to Connie Pillach, 1434 01:22:29.720 --> 01:22:31.960 who was out in front of TESLA protesting to the 1435 01:22:32.079 --> 01:22:33.880 DOJE efforts to get rid of the size and scope 1436 01:22:33.920 --> 01:22:37.119 of government. When she promised right after being elected she's 1437 01:22:37.199 --> 01:22:39.319 going to keep politics out of it. I guess she 1438 01:22:39.439 --> 01:22:43.960 forgot that pledge anyway. But no recognizing what's going on. 1439 01:22:44.399 --> 01:22:47.079 And I have seen a lot of polls. Trump's popularity 1440 01:22:47.079 --> 01:22:50.680 story is pretty high, and people are thoroughly appalled and 1441 01:22:50.840 --> 01:22:53.159 upset about what we are learning and how and and 1442 01:22:53.319 --> 01:22:57.439 and the revelations about where our hard earned taxpayers have 1443 01:22:57.560 --> 01:23:01.279 been spent. And I find it posterous that the Democrats 1444 01:23:01.319 --> 01:23:04.079 are at their screaming, bloody murder trying to defend programs 1445 01:23:04.159 --> 01:23:08.039 like you know, circumcisions in Mozambique or whatever. I mean, 1446 01:23:08.239 --> 01:23:11.479 we have something that's completely out of control. These policies 1447 01:23:11.520 --> 01:23:13.960 and programs are indefensible, and I have to imagine a 1448 01:23:14.000 --> 01:23:16.960 lot of the Democrat voters in Hamilton County probably feel 1449 01:23:17.000 --> 01:23:19.039 the same way. It's one of the reasons, you know, 1450 01:23:19.119 --> 01:23:21.199 Donald Trump on his pledges when he was running for 1451 01:23:21.239 --> 01:23:24.000 presidents to do exactly this made a lot of inroads 1452 01:23:24.039 --> 01:23:27.319 into the Black community, the Hispanic community. Obviously, immigration had 1453 01:23:27.319 --> 01:23:29.239 a large thing to do with that because it's impacting 1454 01:23:29.479 --> 01:23:33.399 the black and Hispanic communities also. So do you think 1455 01:23:34.039 --> 01:23:35.840 do you hold out any hope that we could write 1456 01:23:35.880 --> 01:23:38.079 the ship that is Hamilton County right now down the 1457 01:23:38.159 --> 01:23:39.119 road orlanda. 1458 01:23:40.279 --> 01:23:43.680 Well, I'll say this is that this past selection, Brian 1459 01:23:43.960 --> 01:23:48.159 is it was truly a turning point for our country 1460 01:23:48.640 --> 01:23:53.399 where people from all across communities and you speak of, 1461 01:23:53.800 --> 01:23:56.600 you know, just urban communities that have typically voted one 1462 01:23:56.680 --> 01:24:00.800 way for decades, really saw that this was the year 1463 01:24:00.800 --> 01:24:03.880 where we needed to write the ship. And specifically when 1464 01:24:03.960 --> 01:24:08.880 it comes to overbloated government, the fraud, waste and abuse 1465 01:24:08.960 --> 01:24:12.159 that we see across the entire federal government. Americans were 1466 01:24:12.159 --> 01:24:15.600 sick and tired of it. And for those that are 1467 01:24:16.680 --> 01:24:20.239 quote unquote upset with the way that the president the 1468 01:24:20.239 --> 01:24:24.880 administration has been operating in trying to cut down the fraud, waste, 1469 01:24:24.920 --> 01:24:28.920 and abuse in just his first month in office. This 1470 01:24:29.119 --> 01:24:32.199 is what he ran on to your point, Brian, he 1471 01:24:32.439 --> 01:24:37.600 ran on this campaign for two plus years. Everyone knew 1472 01:24:37.840 --> 01:24:40.359 that that was his mission. He was going to do 1473 01:24:40.680 --> 01:24:43.279 what no other president has done in the modern era, 1474 01:24:43.720 --> 01:24:46.800 and that was actually go in there into the belly 1475 01:24:46.840 --> 01:24:51.479 of the beast and cut whether it's deregulation or cut 1476 01:24:51.600 --> 01:24:55.239 federal spending. I mean the things that we uncovered with 1477 01:24:55.600 --> 01:24:58.439 the millions of dollars that have gone into programs. You 1478 01:24:58.560 --> 01:25:01.439 mentioned some of them, but I mean Sesame Street in Iraq, 1479 01:25:01.640 --> 01:25:05.720 a tune of twenty million dollars. You know, the waste 1480 01:25:06.520 --> 01:25:08.920 it's created, this federal government that people were sick and 1481 01:25:09.000 --> 01:25:15.399 tired of, that Americans were paying for, hard working taxpayers. 1482 01:25:15.000 --> 01:25:15.680 Were paying for. 1483 01:25:16.600 --> 01:25:19.920 So, you know, do I have sympathy for those that 1484 01:25:20.960 --> 01:25:25.439 don't necessarily like the way that he's operating. The answer 1485 01:25:25.560 --> 01:25:28.239 is no, because this is the way that he was 1486 01:25:28.439 --> 01:25:31.319 running on and for the millions of voters that voted 1487 01:25:31.359 --> 01:25:35.560 to elect him into office. We put him there the 1488 01:25:35.640 --> 01:25:39.600 American people overwhelmingly put him there. And the thing that 1489 01:25:39.640 --> 01:25:42.199 I will say is allow the president to do his 1490 01:25:42.359 --> 01:25:46.119 job to literally enact the policies that he ran on. 1491 01:25:46.760 --> 01:25:51.199 That Brian is democracy, indeed is a threat to democracy, 1492 01:25:51.479 --> 01:25:57.520 you know, is these unelected career bureaucrats that hide behind 1493 01:25:57.680 --> 01:26:01.239 civil servant status thinking that they answer to no one 1494 01:26:02.039 --> 01:26:04.840 and are completely unchecked. It's not the way that our 1495 01:26:04.880 --> 01:26:08.800 founding fathers intended. What they intended was that one person 1496 01:26:08.880 --> 01:26:12.279 would run to get all the votes, hopefully a majority 1497 01:26:12.319 --> 01:26:16.079 of the votes across America. They would run on platforms, 1498 01:26:16.359 --> 01:26:18.279 they'd be able to be elected as president of the 1499 01:26:18.319 --> 01:26:21.760 United States, choose the people by advice and consent of 1500 01:26:21.840 --> 01:26:24.479 the Senate to carry out the mission. And that's exactly 1501 01:26:24.520 --> 01:26:25.439 what we're seeing now. 1502 01:26:25.840 --> 01:26:29.800 Yes we are, and it's refreshing alternative for other prior presidents, 1503 01:26:29.840 --> 01:26:35.119 including Clinton, Obama, and Biden, who also promised to get 1504 01:26:35.199 --> 01:26:37.279 rid of fraud, waste, and abuse in government. They're on tape, 1505 01:26:37.279 --> 01:26:40.279 they're on record, there's YouTube videos out there with all 1506 01:26:40.359 --> 01:26:43.439 their comments along the same lines. They promised to do 1507 01:26:43.520 --> 01:26:46.239 the same thing, yet they didn't deliver. The government just 1508 01:26:46.319 --> 01:26:48.640 merely got bigger and the regulatory environment just got more 1509 01:26:49.000 --> 01:26:52.560 difficult to deal with and navigate, and had they delivered 1510 01:26:52.600 --> 01:26:54.720 on the promises, I just kind of scratched my head 1511 01:26:54.760 --> 01:26:57.359 and kind of wonder theoretically if the Democrats would be 1512 01:26:57.359 --> 01:27:01.359 screaming and yelling about if their Democrat president had the efforts. 1513 01:27:02.439 --> 01:27:05.880 Right right, I mean at the end of the day. Again, Uh, 1514 01:27:06.560 --> 01:27:10.800 there's there's growing pains right now because it's one thing 1515 01:27:10.920 --> 01:27:12.720 to say it on the campaign trail, and it really 1516 01:27:12.760 --> 01:27:17.119 doesn't matter what party the presidential candidates running on. We've 1517 01:27:17.159 --> 01:27:19.560 seen it on both sides to your point, Brian. We've 1518 01:27:19.640 --> 01:27:22.600 seen candidates on both sides say that they would go 1519 01:27:22.760 --> 01:27:25.600 in there and they would cut waste, they would cut 1520 01:27:25.720 --> 01:27:29.159 fraud abuse, they would shrink the size of government. But 1521 01:27:29.359 --> 01:27:32.399 no one's actually done it to the extent that President 1522 01:27:32.439 --> 01:27:35.960 Trump is doing right now. He my gosh, we are 1523 01:27:36.159 --> 01:27:39.560 He hit the one month mark yesterday of being the 1524 01:27:39.600 --> 01:27:42.279 forty seventh president the United States, and the amount of 1525 01:27:42.479 --> 01:27:47.000 money that we're already uncovering that are being saved for 1526 01:27:47.119 --> 01:27:52.439 the American people. It's just astounding, and no one the 1527 01:27:52.520 --> 01:27:55.960 only surprise that people should have is the speed at 1528 01:27:56.000 --> 01:27:59.720 which he's doing it, and the people that he has 1529 01:28:00.039 --> 01:28:03.880 apt to lead. These government agencies are committed to the 1530 01:28:03.960 --> 01:28:07.399 mission that they are there to, yes, serve the best 1531 01:28:07.479 --> 01:28:08.800 interests of the American people. 1532 01:28:09.359 --> 01:28:09.880 But guess what. 1533 01:28:10.479 --> 01:28:16.000 They are not there to make overbloated government bigger. They're 1534 01:28:16.079 --> 01:28:17.760 there to shrink the size of government. 1535 01:28:18.119 --> 01:28:18.920 And here's the. 1536 01:28:18.960 --> 01:28:22.000 Word that you know has gotten a lot of flak 1537 01:28:22.319 --> 01:28:27.640 these last few weeks. Efficient, to make federal government more efficient. 1538 01:28:27.720 --> 01:28:29.720 The question that we should be asking is, for any 1539 01:28:29.760 --> 01:28:34.640 of these agencies, whether it's the DOJ, the FBI, energy Treasury, 1540 01:28:35.119 --> 01:28:40.640 can we operate with a more streamlined, efficient federal agency. 1541 01:28:41.079 --> 01:28:43.039 And if the answer is yes, then we should be 1542 01:28:43.119 --> 01:28:47.279 doing everything we can to get there exactly. 1543 01:28:47.520 --> 01:28:50.079 And you know, that's what Elon Musk is really notably 1544 01:28:50.159 --> 01:28:52.720 famous for. I mean, I talk to an author of 1545 01:28:52.760 --> 01:28:55.159 a book about Elon Musk and his business practices. You know, 1546 01:28:55.239 --> 01:28:58.239 he buys Twitter and imediately fires like eighty percent of 1547 01:28:58.279 --> 01:29:00.720 the employees. And yet there it is as acts, it 1548 01:29:00.800 --> 01:29:04.199 still runs, it still works, it doesn't have the limitations 1549 01:29:04.239 --> 01:29:06.920 on free speech. Is a very wildly popular platform that 1550 01:29:06.960 --> 01:29:10.000 apparently didn't need all those extra employees in the first place. 1551 01:29:10.439 --> 01:29:12.800 That author also pointed out that he instructed the folks 1552 01:29:12.880 --> 01:29:17.119 at Tesla to start literally removing every single component product 1553 01:29:17.239 --> 01:29:19.880 in the cars until such point that they wouldn't work 1554 01:29:19.920 --> 01:29:23.319 anymore in order to increase efficiency, weight and keep costs down. 1555 01:29:23.600 --> 01:29:26.760 I mean, that's the point of Elon Musk being efficiency 1556 01:29:26.960 --> 01:29:30.279 and getting rid of you know, unnecessary components. 1557 01:29:31.720 --> 01:29:33.359 That's exactly right. 1558 01:29:33.439 --> 01:29:36.840 And you know you mentioned layoffs. You know, that's exactly 1559 01:29:36.920 --> 01:29:41.039 what we would expect for a company that is trying 1560 01:29:41.119 --> 01:29:45.119 to be more efficient, it's trying to go into cost 1561 01:29:45.279 --> 01:29:48.640 saving mode. It's so that for the end user, for 1562 01:29:48.720 --> 01:29:51.760 the end customer, they deliver a better product, better experience 1563 01:29:51.840 --> 01:29:52.640 at a better price. 1564 01:29:53.119 --> 01:29:56.319 For government, what should we expect again, we. 1565 01:29:56.319 --> 01:30:00.880 Should expect a federal government that is the size, no 1566 01:30:01.039 --> 01:30:03.720 bigger than it needs to be in order to deliver 1567 01:30:04.159 --> 01:30:08.960 the same efficient, productive service or product that the American 1568 01:30:09.039 --> 01:30:12.680 citizen should expect. And so for these layoffs, you know, 1569 01:30:12.800 --> 01:30:18.720 again we cannot say, although some do that it's cruel 1570 01:30:18.800 --> 01:30:22.199 that we're seeing, you know, these overnight layoffs of thousands employees. 1571 01:30:22.319 --> 01:30:26.560 Number One, in his first couple weeks, President Trump offered 1572 01:30:27.039 --> 01:30:33.199 a incredible, never heard of deal for federal employees to 1573 01:30:33.479 --> 01:30:37.760 essentially not go back to work and take an amazing 1574 01:30:38.239 --> 01:30:43.159 six plus months before they can early retire and give 1575 01:30:43.239 --> 01:30:46.399 them full benefit, full pay. I mean, that's unheard of. 1576 01:30:46.600 --> 01:30:49.640 If he really wanted to, he would have fired those 1577 01:30:49.680 --> 01:30:53.680 employees on January twentieth, but no, instead he offered a 1578 01:30:53.840 --> 01:30:57.640 great buyout. If you want to retire, you don't want 1579 01:30:57.680 --> 01:31:01.640 to stay while this ship is moved, then by all 1580 01:31:01.760 --> 01:31:04.479 means you know you can leave and will offer you 1581 01:31:04.479 --> 01:31:07.520 a great benefits package for these employees have been laid 1582 01:31:07.560 --> 01:31:12.000 off in the last couple of weeks. They are probationary employees, 1583 01:31:12.840 --> 01:31:15.920 and these employees that have entered into the federal workforce 1584 01:31:16.119 --> 01:31:20.119 know that they are subject to a certain amount of 1585 01:31:20.239 --> 01:31:24.199 time as a probationary employee that I don't know what 1586 01:31:24.359 --> 01:31:29.239 the majority of people expect when they hear the term probationary, 1587 01:31:29.399 --> 01:31:34.399 but working just in government in the past, is probationary 1588 01:31:34.479 --> 01:31:36.800 means that you could be removed at will at any time. 1589 01:31:37.439 --> 01:31:39.800 You serve with the pleasure of the federal government or 1590 01:31:39.840 --> 01:31:43.079 the agency you work for, and if the federal agency 1591 01:31:43.239 --> 01:31:46.239 or the administration views that that is not the most 1592 01:31:46.319 --> 01:31:51.159 efficient means for federal government, then you. 1593 01:31:51.319 --> 01:31:54.680 Could be laid off. You knew that going in and 1594 01:31:54.840 --> 01:31:59.000 the question is that can we operate again with greater 1595 01:31:59.199 --> 01:32:02.600 efficiency with lower workforce. It's not like we are leaving 1596 01:32:02.640 --> 01:32:06.000 these people out to dry. Think about, Brian, the thousands, 1597 01:32:06.079 --> 01:32:09.600 if not hundreds of thousands of jobs that are out there, 1598 01:32:10.119 --> 01:32:12.960 whether it's in the private sector or whether it's in 1599 01:32:13.119 --> 01:32:18.680 state government that these American hardworking, yes, hopefully hardworking American 1600 01:32:18.760 --> 01:32:22.560 citizens now have to find ulterior employment. 1601 01:32:22.880 --> 01:32:23.720 But they're out there. 1602 01:32:24.199 --> 01:32:27.119 You know, we have an abundance of opportunity here.

They were going 1689 01:36:41.640 --> 01:36:45.439 door to door, we were going to communities, families. When 1690 01:36:45.479 --> 01:36:47.560 it came down to it the last night, we were 1691 01:36:47.640 --> 01:36:50.279 driving around till midnight gathering whatever we could. 1692 01:36:50.680 --> 01:36:53.119 Well and again they've already certified. You haven't kind of 1693 01:36:53.159 --> 01:36:56.680 Board of Elections to certified the signatures for you. And 1694 01:36:58.039 --> 01:37:00.760 when you're out in about gathering signs to get on 1695 01:37:00.880 --> 01:37:02.840 the ballot, and you're going to have to continue doing this. 1696 01:37:02.920 --> 01:37:04.840 On the campaign trail, people are going to ask you 1697 01:37:04.960 --> 01:37:07.840 questions about what you stand for, what your goals, your motivations, 1698 01:37:07.880 --> 01:37:09.760 and your ideas are for the city. So did you 1699 01:37:09.840 --> 01:37:11.039 hear a lot of or did you get a lot 1700 01:37:11.039 --> 01:37:13.680 of questions along those lines when you're around circulating position. 1701 01:37:15.279 --> 01:37:17.960 Yeah, And honestly, I I'd made a lot of those 1702 01:37:18.039 --> 01:37:20.720 questions myself to the people a lot of times when 1703 01:37:21.000 --> 01:37:23.199 we weren't just you know, paying somebody to get the 1704 01:37:23.680 --> 01:37:26.199 signatures on our behalf, we were actually going out to 1705 01:37:26.600 --> 01:37:30.479 our future voters. And so most of the people that 1706 01:37:30.640 --> 01:37:32.800 we if we had the time to we would ask 1707 01:37:32.840 --> 01:37:34.680 them what are the issues that are important to you? 1708 01:37:34.800 --> 01:37:36.560 And then we would have really great discussions. 1709 01:37:36.840 --> 01:37:38.680 What are you hearing from folks? What are the issues 1710 01:37:38.720 --> 01:37:39.760 that are most important to them? 1711 01:37:41.720 --> 01:37:43.800 I mean, for the most part, if you're downtown, they 1712 01:37:43.920 --> 01:37:45.399 just say, fix the damn potholes. 1713 01:37:47.960 --> 01:37:50.760 My god. One of my favorite pet peeves about the 1714 01:37:50.800 --> 01:37:54.560 city of Cincinnati is just the absolute deteriorating, deteriorating nature 1715 01:37:54.600 --> 01:37:57.720 of the infrastructure. You know, Corey, what they're like, four 1716 01:37:57.800 --> 01:38:01.399 hundred and fifty million dollars worth of project behind. They're 1717 01:38:01.439 --> 01:38:03.720 supposed to do X number of road miles a year 1718 01:38:03.760 --> 01:38:05.840 and repairs, they have the money allocated for it, and 1719 01:38:06.199 --> 01:38:08.479 for some reason or other, it never gets done. I mean, 1720 01:38:08.520 --> 01:38:11.560 that's that's that should be a motivating factor to run 1721 01:38:11.640 --> 01:38:13.079 for mayor in and of itself. 1722 01:38:14.840 --> 01:38:18.319 Yeah, can you imagine from day one of being elected 1723 01:38:18.439 --> 01:38:20.600 that that's the first thing that we actually do. 1724 01:38:21.720 --> 01:38:25.000 That we said that we were going to do, just 1725 01:38:25.079 --> 01:38:28.800 kind of like Donald Trump. Yeah, they can get a 1726 01:38:28.880 --> 01:38:29.439 lot of people. 1727 01:38:29.600 --> 01:38:32.279 It's you know, we live in a city. There is 1728 01:38:32.840 --> 01:38:35.960 certain key issues that pertain to the residents of our city, 1729 01:38:36.520 --> 01:38:38.640 and so yeah, there's a lot of issues that face 1730 01:38:38.760 --> 01:38:40.520 the country as a whole, and there's a lot of 1731 01:38:40.600 --> 01:38:43.680 broad statements that we could make, but ultimately there's real 1732 01:38:43.800 --> 01:38:46.479 issues that people care about. And you know, if you 1733 01:38:46.600 --> 01:38:48.479 drive over a pothole, it doesn't matter. 1734 01:38:48.319 --> 01:38:50.880 Whether you're a Democrat or Republican. You're tired getting. 1735 01:38:50.680 --> 01:38:54.000 Flat exactly right, and suppost notably, those neighborhoods that seem 1736 01:38:54.000 --> 01:38:57.840 to be overlooked, you know, for decades, it's as if 1737 01:38:57.880 --> 01:39:00.479 they don't exist, and I don't I don't know how 1738 01:39:00.840 --> 01:39:04.479 in that situation someone could continue to vote for the 1739 01:39:04.560 --> 01:39:07.880 same party that hasn't served their interests for however many 1740 01:39:07.960 --> 01:39:11.560 years we've been going on with this problem, So maybe 1741 01:39:11.600 --> 01:39:14.560 you stand a chance. Did you get a sense of 1742 01:39:14.640 --> 01:39:17.319 you there's a possibility for you, because you know it 1743 01:39:17.399 --> 01:39:20.359 is the city of Cincinnati. You're not running as a Democrat, Corey, 1744 01:39:20.479 --> 01:39:25.079 And I just wonder what your enthusiasm level is after 1745 01:39:25.199 --> 01:39:27.600 going out and about meeting with folks out in the communities. 1746 01:39:29.000 --> 01:39:33.119 My enthusiasm level probably was improved every day that I 1747 01:39:33.239 --> 01:39:36.319 spoke to people. I'll be honest, I mean I had 1748 01:39:36.479 --> 01:39:39.439 no clue whether this was the right decision or not 1749 01:39:39.560 --> 01:39:41.439 when we first made We just knew it had to 1750 01:39:41.520 --> 01:39:44.279 be done. And every morning I would wake up, I'll 1751 01:39:44.399 --> 01:39:46.560 just say, you know, what are you doing, Corey? Why 1752 01:39:46.600 --> 01:39:49.279 are you making this run? And every night I would 1753 01:39:49.319 --> 01:39:52.720 go to bed more encouraged than not because of the 1754 01:39:52.800 --> 01:39:56.479 conversations I had. People are very excited about what we 1755 01:39:56.600 --> 01:39:59.319 stand for. They're very hungry for change in the city. 1756 01:40:00.000 --> 01:40:02.439 And yes, it's gonna be an uphill battle the next 1757 01:40:02.520 --> 01:40:05.560 eight months, but every conversation I had just gave me 1758 01:40:05.640 --> 01:40:07.279 that extra energy that I. 1759 01:40:07.359 --> 01:40:08.920 Needed to keep on going well. 1760 01:40:09.119 --> 01:40:11.800 And I know your jd Vance's half brother, and that 1761 01:40:12.079 --> 01:40:14.159 propelled you sort of the national stage. I mean, there 1762 01:40:14.239 --> 01:40:17.039 was a lot of reporting on major media outlets that 1763 01:40:17.479 --> 01:40:19.600 you were, in fact or you are, in fact running 1764 01:40:19.640 --> 01:40:22.600 for the mayor city of Cincinnati. Do you feel as 1765 01:40:22.680 --> 01:40:24.199 if it's a I mean, it's a benefit for me 1766 01:40:24.239 --> 01:40:27.079 from a publicity standpoint, but you somehow feel maybe you're 1767 01:40:27.119 --> 01:40:29.760 in the shadow of your vice presidential half brother. 1768 01:40:31.439 --> 01:40:34.680 Well, like I said in my post whenever I announced 1769 01:40:34.720 --> 01:40:37.640 it that you know, he's a great role model of mine. 1770 01:40:37.760 --> 01:40:41.000 And when I saw the enthusiasm and the hope and 1771 01:40:41.119 --> 01:40:46.119 the change behind you know, the inauguration weekend, that's what 1772 01:40:46.279 --> 01:40:49.680 inspired me because our hometown can't fall behind these next 1773 01:40:49.760 --> 01:40:53.119 four years. So we're gonna we're gonna work very hard 1774 01:40:53.199 --> 01:40:55.479 the next eight months to go into every district, talk 1775 01:40:55.560 --> 01:40:58.279 to every community. We're going to get the right endorsements, 1776 01:40:58.279 --> 01:41:00.640 We're going to get the right groups behind us. But 1777 01:41:00.800 --> 01:41:04.279 then also I think one of the biggest motivators for 1778 01:41:04.399 --> 01:41:06.000 people to vote for us is going to be this 1779 01:41:06.239 --> 01:41:08.680 upcoming year with the current administration. 1780 01:41:09.720 --> 01:41:12.960 Well, certainly a lot of talking points and different ideas 1781 01:41:13.079 --> 01:41:15.800 are welcomed by a lot of folks across political stripes. 1782 01:41:15.840 --> 01:41:17.039 One of the things I want to ask you when 1783 01:41:17.079 --> 01:41:20.159 we come back, Corey, is about this Connected Communities program, 1784 01:41:20.239 --> 01:41:22.760 because a lot of folks are rebelling against it, and 1785 01:41:22.840 --> 01:41:25.039 it's a program that was pretty much shoved down every 1786 01:41:25.119 --> 01:41:28.640 single neighborhood in the city's throat without their input. Let's 1787 01:41:28.680 --> 01:41:31.359 bring Corey Bowman back. He is running for mayor of 1788 01:41:31.399 --> 01:41:33.840 the City of Cincinnati, and we'll try to be remain 1789 01:41:33.920 --> 01:41:35.960 optimistic for him. In the meantime, I want to mention 1790 01:41:36.239 --> 01:41:39.840 affordable imaging services because your hospital imaging department just is 1791 01:41:39.880 --> 01:41:42.600 outrageous in terms of what it charges for any kind 1792 01:41:42.640 --> 01:41:47.560 of given image, echo cardiograms, mri, ct scans, ultrasounds, affordable 1793 01:41:47.720 --> 01:41:49.600 imaging services. You have a choice when it comes to 1794 01:41:49.640 --> 01:41:52.279 your medical care. So why would you pay thirty five 1795 01:41:52.479 --> 01:41:54.800 hundred dollars at the hospital when you can get an 1796 01:41:54.800 --> 01:41:57.720 echo cardiogram at Affordable Imaging Services for a mere five 1797 01:41:57.800 --> 01:42:00.800 hundred dollars and not that that's not money, but a 1798 01:42:00.920 --> 01:42:04.279 mirror compared to thirty five hundred. If you need an enhancement, 1799 01:42:04.359 --> 01:42:06.560 it's only eight hundred. That enhancement, of course, will cost 1800 01:42:06.600 --> 01:42:08.840 you more at the imaging department at the hospital. You'll 1801 01:42:08.880 --> 01:42:13.000 probably pay separate for the board certified radiologist to read 1802 01:42:13.039 --> 01:42:16.119 the image. You get that included in the low price, 1803 01:42:16.600 --> 01:42:20.600 so five hundred dollars including the radiologist report. I like 1804 01:42:20.680 --> 01:42:22.479 that a lot more, especially given it's a new calendar 1805 01:42:22.560 --> 01:42:24.960 year and you got a huge chunk out of pocket liability, 1806 01:42:25.239 --> 01:42:27.680 most notably for folks who are like under an Obamacare plan, 1807 01:42:27.880 --> 01:42:30.760 or maybe you don't have medical insurance and that image 1808 01:42:30.760 --> 01:42:33.399 will empty out your bank account. You have a choice. 1809 01:42:33.760 --> 01:42:37.279 Check it out online, go to Affordable Medimaging dot Com 1810 01:42:37.520 --> 01:42:41.279 mri CD.

You'll see 1841 01:44:14.279 --> 01:44:16.960 him in neighborhoods. You're planning on it having town halls 1842 01:44:17.039 --> 01:44:19.880 and things of that nature. Corey, You're willing to actually 1843 01:44:19.960 --> 01:44:21.600 meet and talk with the people. I kind of got 1844 01:44:21.640 --> 01:44:22.960 that impression in the last segment. 1845 01:44:24.600 --> 01:44:26.479 Yeah, I think that's got to be a key thing 1846 01:44:26.640 --> 01:44:30.199 with this campaign. We're definitely going to be doing live 1847 01:44:30.319 --> 01:44:34.119 Q AND's on livestream most likely every week. I'm trying 1848 01:44:34.119 --> 01:44:36.039 to fork out what the best day is for it, 1849 01:44:36.479 --> 01:44:38.439 but then every week we're going to have to hit 1850 01:44:38.600 --> 01:44:42.920 different areas in different districts. My goal would be to 1851 01:44:43.039 --> 01:44:46.039 find the local key businesses in the area. You know, 1852 01:44:46.159 --> 01:44:48.119 we had our first one of our first meetings in 1853 01:44:48.239 --> 01:44:51.439 our downtown coffee shop and it was a great response. 1854 01:44:52.399 --> 01:44:55.319 You know, we had a meeting in price Field Chili. 1855 01:44:56.000 --> 01:44:57.920 So what I want to do is just find these 1856 01:44:58.000 --> 01:45:02.359 key businesses in these districts with the business owners that 1857 01:45:02.479 --> 01:45:04.920 are hurting and really just have these events there and 1858 01:45:05.000 --> 01:45:05.439 hear from. 1859 01:45:05.359 --> 01:45:08.239 People wonderful and by way of background, and I think 1860 01:45:08.279 --> 01:45:11.239 it's important for our listeners to know you, uh, you 1861 01:45:11.359 --> 01:45:13.800 own the King's Arms Coffee Roasters, which we've been mentioned 1862 01:45:13.840 --> 01:45:15.760 a couple of times. You're also a pastor at the 1863 01:45:15.880 --> 01:45:20.319 River Church in Cincinnati. I suppose being a pastor you 1864 01:45:20.399 --> 01:45:23.199 have to regularly communicate with parishioners and spread the message 1865 01:45:23.239 --> 01:45:27.359 and relate and connect to people. Does that is that a? 1866 01:45:27.960 --> 01:45:31.159 Is that that served you well in your efforts thus far? 1867 01:45:33.159 --> 01:45:35.880 Yeah, I joked around because one of the biggest things 1868 01:45:35.920 --> 01:45:41.840 that helped me in politics, unexpectedly was ministry, and partly 1869 01:45:41.960 --> 01:45:44.399 because you deal with people and you're dealing with people's 1870 01:45:44.439 --> 01:45:46.960 opinions and you're talking with people, also because you care 1871 01:45:47.039 --> 01:45:51.239 for people. But then another one is because ministry they'll 1872 01:45:51.279 --> 01:45:54.439 cut your throat at any point in time. So that's 1873 01:45:54.520 --> 01:45:56.560 something that I'm learning about politics as well. 1874 01:45:57.079 --> 01:45:59.600 Fair enough, Now moving over to one of the more 1875 01:45:59.680 --> 01:46:02.720 interesting thing, and I think problematic issues for the City 1876 01:46:02.760 --> 01:46:05.880 of Cincinnati residents is this connected Communities thing that city 1877 01:46:05.960 --> 01:46:09.119 council pass really without any input from the various neighborhoods 1878 01:46:09.119 --> 01:46:12.479 within the City of Cincinnati, requiring you know, changing in 1879 01:46:12.680 --> 01:46:17.560 zoning and dense population in other words, knocking down single 1880 01:46:17.640 --> 01:46:21.960 family homes and putting up higher volume apartments, many of 1881 01:46:22.000 --> 01:46:24.359 which will not have any parking. I know neighborhoods like 1882 01:46:24.439 --> 01:46:27.159 Hyde Park are worried about impacting the community. Where are 1883 01:46:27.159 --> 01:46:29.560 these people are going to park? But it's all a 1884 01:46:29.680 --> 01:46:34.000 design to get people on buses. And I think it's 1885 01:46:34.600 --> 01:46:37.439 really an affront to the single family property owner to 1886 01:46:37.520 --> 01:46:40.039 know that, you know, held next door neighbor could sell 1887 01:46:40.039 --> 01:46:41.960 their house and next thing you know, you're living in 1888 01:46:41.960 --> 01:46:44.279 a next to a ten to twelve unit condomenty or 1889 01:46:44.359 --> 01:46:49.199 rather apartment complex. Where are you on connected communities? Corey? 1890 01:46:51.119 --> 01:46:54.119 Well, when I first heard about these issues, you know, 1891 01:46:54.159 --> 01:46:56.760 I decided we have to hear people's opinions, we have 1892 01:46:56.880 --> 01:46:58.840 to research. So one of the first things that we 1893 01:46:58.920 --> 01:47:01.399 did over the course to find these signatures was we 1894 01:47:01.520 --> 01:47:05.199 went to a town hall meeting that was in bond 1895 01:47:05.319 --> 01:47:09.720 Hill area related to this Connected communities and Sky Johnson, 1896 01:47:09.960 --> 01:47:14.279 count Sky Johnson and Vice Mayor Kearney were there. And 1897 01:47:14.840 --> 01:47:17.000 as we were there, I give it up for the 1898 01:47:17.479 --> 01:47:20.560 councilmen mayor, they were kind of, you know, doing some 1899 01:47:20.720 --> 01:47:23.720 crowd control with the very disgruntled people in the room. 1900 01:47:24.199 --> 01:47:26.640 But a lot of people showed up and you could 1901 01:47:26.640 --> 01:47:29.479 tell that they are very frustrated with how this has 1902 01:47:29.600 --> 01:47:32.840 been brought to the city, and so I was going 1903 01:47:32.920 --> 01:47:36.199 through asking people questions, and I think the biggest thing 1904 01:47:36.319 --> 01:47:38.960 is that if you take the cover sheet on top 1905 01:47:39.039 --> 01:47:42.600 of these connected community policies that most likely were written 1906 01:47:42.640 --> 01:47:45.640 by chat GBT, you would sit there and say, yeah, 1907 01:47:45.800 --> 01:47:48.399 we kind of like bringing communities together, but yeah, we 1908 01:47:48.760 --> 01:47:53.239 like helpless in need, we like bringing business. But it's 1909 01:47:53.279 --> 01:47:56.520 what they're trying to kind of sneak in through these policies, 1910 01:47:56.920 --> 01:47:59.079 and what they're really trying to sneak in through. 1911 01:47:58.960 --> 01:48:00.800 This is exactly who you're talking about. 1912 01:48:00.840 --> 01:48:06.920 It's you know, improperly managed affordable housing policies. You're bringing 1913 01:48:06.960 --> 01:48:10.920 in big time developers instead of small time businesses that 1914 01:48:11.079 --> 01:48:14.239 actually want to enhance the properties and want to utilize 1915 01:48:14.279 --> 01:48:15.960 the historic buildings that are there. 1916 01:48:16.479 --> 01:48:17.760 And then you're exactly right. 1917 01:48:17.880 --> 01:48:19.920 They're trying to get it to a point to where 1918 01:48:20.359 --> 01:48:22.520 people have to take the bus, they have to be 1919 01:48:22.640 --> 01:48:26.079 in a multi level apartment, they can't own their own home, 1920 01:48:26.199 --> 01:48:29.479 they can't park anywhere, and this isn't right for certain 1921 01:48:29.520 --> 01:48:34.279 communities to where the historic aspect that like park and 1922 01:48:34.399 --> 01:48:39.439 other areas in our city that's invaluable and connected community 1923 01:48:39.479 --> 01:48:41.520 policies like this are just going to rip that out 1924 01:48:41.600 --> 01:48:42.039 from people. 1925 01:48:42.359 --> 01:48:45.439 Well, and hasn't the city learned anything over the years 1926 01:48:45.479 --> 01:48:48.560 about absentee landlords, which have been a problem and a 1927 01:48:48.720 --> 01:48:51.520 plague on the general Greater Cincinnati area for so long. 1928 01:48:52.000 --> 01:48:54.600 Good properties deteriorate, they're nowhere to be found. When you 1929 01:48:54.680 --> 01:48:57.479 finally try to find them, they change the corporate structure, 1930 01:48:57.560 --> 01:48:59.199 so you have to start all over again in terms 1931 01:48:59.239 --> 01:49:01.560 of any litigation, and you're waging against them. I mean, 1932 01:49:01.680 --> 01:49:03.359 you know that seems to be written on the wall 1933 01:49:03.439 --> 01:49:04.960 or baked into the cake when you got out these 1934 01:49:05.000 --> 01:49:06.920 outside developers building these units. 1935 01:49:08.560 --> 01:49:10.840 Well you know when me and my wife have lived here, 1936 01:49:11.560 --> 01:49:13.279 and well, we lived here, I've been. 1937 01:49:13.279 --> 01:49:14.439 From here my whole life. 1938 01:49:14.520 --> 01:49:17.720 But being downtown for four years with the Church of Business, 1939 01:49:18.640 --> 01:49:21.920 we've had many friends have never visited Cincinnati before, and 1940 01:49:22.000 --> 01:49:24.520 then they come in and they're blown away by the 1941 01:49:24.800 --> 01:49:28.199 historic buildings. They're blown away by the beauty of Dayton 1942 01:49:28.279 --> 01:49:32.560 Street and other areas that have these amazing town homes, 1943 01:49:32.600 --> 01:49:35.199 amazing business fronts. I mean, I mean, my coffee shop 1944 01:49:35.279 --> 01:49:38.600 is in one of these buildings. And when you bring 1945 01:49:38.720 --> 01:49:43.199 in developers and absentee landlords and all these things, it's 1946 01:49:43.439 --> 01:49:46.079 taking away from the beauty and the character of our city. 1947 01:49:46.439 --> 01:49:49.079 And also, I'll be honest with you, We've been in 1948 01:49:49.159 --> 01:49:52.359 the West End and we have many people connected to 1949 01:49:52.479 --> 01:49:55.279 us that are small time business owners. They can only 1950 01:49:55.359 --> 01:49:58.560 flip one property at a time or have one business 1951 01:49:58.640 --> 01:50:01.720 location at a time, and they are hungry to utilize 1952 01:50:01.800 --> 01:50:07.039 these spaces to better the community. But these policies took 1953 01:50:07.199 --> 01:50:11.439 out developers any of these small businesses that really want 1954 01:50:11.479 --> 01:50:14.760 to utilize this. And so, yeah, you have thousands of 1955 01:50:14.880 --> 01:50:18.279 vacant properties, but it's done by the hand of the 1956 01:50:18.399 --> 01:50:19.880 city policies. 1957 01:50:21.239 --> 01:50:26.199 Well, and you know, obviously tinkering with other people's neighborhoods 1958 01:50:26.239 --> 01:50:29.439 and individual zoning rules. I just I mean, it's such 1959 01:50:29.439 --> 01:50:32.840 an intrusion into that neighborhood's own rights and freedoms and 1960 01:50:33.560 --> 01:50:37.159 ability to control their own direction that they just passed 1961 01:50:37.239 --> 01:50:40.520 this without going to the various communities and getting input 1962 01:50:40.600 --> 01:50:42.640 and asking if any given neighborhood was in favor of it, 1963 01:50:42.720 --> 01:50:45.720 ever or not. Some of them are, many of them 1964 01:50:45.800 --> 01:50:48.079 are not. Again, I turned back to Hyde Park, and 1965 01:50:48.159 --> 01:50:50.119 I guess the idea is this is going to somehow 1966 01:50:50.199 --> 01:50:53.159 make a housing affordable. I mean, I'm sorry, but I'm 1967 01:50:53.159 --> 01:50:56.920 a little skeptical that any player in Hyde Park, regardless 1968 01:50:56.920 --> 01:50:59.680 of who builds it, it's going to be affordable. Mean, 1969 01:51:00.000 --> 01:51:02.039 lot of people love High Park. It's a beautiful neighborhood. 1970 01:51:02.039 --> 01:51:04.720 It's safe, it's walkable, it's got a lot of businesses 1971 01:51:04.760 --> 01:51:07.439 that you can just walk around, generally speaking. But if 1972 01:51:07.479 --> 01:51:09.640 you build an apartment building there, the apartments are going 1973 01:51:09.680 --> 01:51:12.600 to fetch a pretty high rent. I'm willing to bet anyone. 1974 01:51:14.079 --> 01:51:16.439 Well, even if it does become affordable. This is a 1975 01:51:16.600 --> 01:51:19.720 major issue in our city. Is that for the sake 1976 01:51:19.800 --> 01:51:24.359 of affordable housing or income based housing, what's happening is 1977 01:51:24.439 --> 01:51:28.199 that you have poorly managed policies that are really keeping 1978 01:51:28.279 --> 01:51:30.479 those individuals. Yeah, they might be able to afford it, 1979 01:51:30.560 --> 01:51:32.800 but they'll never be able to afford something higher in 1980 01:51:32.800 --> 01:51:35.720 their lives because the way that they're structuring this, it's 1981 01:51:35.800 --> 01:51:37.760 keeping people in bondage to the system. 1982 01:51:38.159 --> 01:51:39.920 It's a great way of putting it. We can end 1983 01:51:40.000 --> 01:51:43.279 on that note. Corey Bowman, he's got a Facebook page 1984 01:51:43.359 --> 01:51:46.880 Corey Bowman Bowma and beautiful.

But more fundamentally, at foreign Exchange, 2004 01:52:34.319 --> 01:52:38.119 you get a qualified as certified Master technician working on 2005 01:52:38.199 --> 01:52:42.520 your car. They have your manufacturer's data and access to 2006 01:52:42.600 --> 01:52:44.359 all of the information they need to fix it. I 2007 01:52:44.399 --> 01:52:47.159 don't care if you've got an exotic European car or 2008 01:52:47.960 --> 01:52:49.560 in my case now a key. I tell you right, 2009 01:52:49.600 --> 01:52:50.880 I haven't had it in there yet, but at some 2010 01:52:50.960 --> 01:52:53.439 point it's going to go into foreign exchange for surface. 2011 01:52:53.520 --> 01:52:56.680 I assure you or our old CRV they kept that 2012 01:52:56.800 --> 01:52:58.840 thing running north of one hundred and fifty thousand miles, 2013 01:52:58.880 --> 01:53:00.760 and yes, it's still out there in the world running. 2014 01:53:00.800 --> 01:53:02.920 My son has it now. But the point is you 2015 01:53:03.039 --> 01:53:05.239 take it there, you get a full warranty on partson service, 2016 01:53:05.279 --> 01:53:07.479 and you have more money in your pocket than had 2017 01:53:07.520 --> 01:53:11.079 you taken it to the dealer, and sometimes a substantial 2018 01:53:11.239 --> 01:53:13.920 amount more in your pocket. They just don't charge as much. 2019 01:53:14.399 --> 01:53:16.079 But it's a great opportunity for you to have your 2020 01:53:16.119 --> 01:53:18.720 car fixed for less and be happy about it.

Happy Friday to you 2050 01:54:53.520 --> 01:54:55.520 remember looking forward to the next conversation after the top 2051 01:54:55.520 --> 01:54:58.319 of the our news Christopher Pihoda. He is a PhD, 2052 01:54:58.600 --> 01:55:03.199 also formerly with the FBI. Twenty five year FBI special 2053 01:55:03.279 --> 01:55:05.680 agent retired as one of the bureau's eight most senior 2054 01:55:05.760 --> 01:55:09.479 career executives. We're going to get his thoughts and feelings 2055 01:55:09.520 --> 01:55:12.279 about the FBI's organizational change. He's author of the book 2056 01:55:12.439 --> 01:55:16.880 Wanted the FBI I Once Knew, apparently described as an 2057 01:55:16.920 --> 01:55:19.439 inside his view that tells a cautionary tale of how 2058 01:55:19.479 --> 01:55:22.560 the FBI, once was one of the world's highest performing organizations, 2059 01:55:23.079 --> 01:55:26.880 could fall victim to leadership atrophy, cultural erosion, complacency, and 2060 01:55:27.039 --> 01:55:30.399 core mission distraction. Perfect timing to have Christopher on the 2061 01:55:30.439 --> 01:55:34.680 program given the Cash Battel was confirmed in a narrow 2062 01:55:34.760 --> 01:55:39.039 vote fifty one forty nine. Cash Betel is the FBI Director, 2063 01:55:39.760 --> 01:55:42.840 and even Senator Mitch McConnell i think it had previously 2064 01:55:42.880 --> 01:55:48.840 expressed some reservations voted yes. Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, 2065 01:55:49.479 --> 01:55:52.159 of course voted no, which we've come to expect from them. 2066 01:55:52.760 --> 01:55:56.560 But swirling in controversy, Cash Betel got the job, and 2067 01:55:56.640 --> 01:55:59.920 so we can keep our fingers crossed that he can. Well, 2068 01:56:00.000 --> 01:56:03.880 we'll right the ship if I may be so bold 2069 01:56:03.920 --> 01:56:05.399 as to say that, because I have a lot of 2070 01:56:05.439 --> 01:56:08.840 respect for the FBI, but we've learned a lot over 2071 01:56:08.880 --> 01:56:11.600 the Biden administration years in the Obama administration years that 2072 01:56:12.119 --> 01:56:15.279 it does house it does somehow seem to be highly politicized. 2073 01:56:15.720 --> 01:56:19.039 Oh yeah, and let's not overlook the Trump's first term 2074 01:56:19.920 --> 01:56:21.720 and some of the shenanigans. We'll see what Chris has 2075 01:56:21.720 --> 01:56:22.279 to say about that. 2076 01:56:22.520 --> 01:56:26.439 And then Bill O'Reilly at eight thirty, we're just gonna 2077 01:56:26.439 --> 01:56:28.359 get his general thoughts on what's happening right now with 2078 01:56:28.399 --> 01:56:32.720 the new Trump administration in the first month. Mitch McConnell retiring, 2079 01:56:33.520 --> 01:56:36.079 that's right, he announced the other day on his birthday. 2080 01:56:36.119 --> 01:56:38.239 I guess he's eighty three. He will not be running 2081 01:56:38.279 --> 01:56:44.479 for reelection in twenty twenty six. Okay, and we'll also 2082 01:56:44.560 --> 01:56:48.640 get Bill O'Reilly's thoughts on cash Betel stick around. Christopher 2083 01:56:48.760 --> 01:56:50.000 Pehota is coming up next. 2084 01:56:50.680 --> 01:56:54.279 Confused happens fast, stay up to date at the top 2085 01:56:54.359 --> 01:56:54.760 of the hour. 2086 01:56:54.960 --> 01:56:57.399 Not gonna be complicated, It's going to go very fast. 2087 01:56:57.760 --> 01:57:02.079 Fifty five krz Indeed station.

Brian Thomas, wishing everyone 2090 01:57:09.600 --> 01:57:12.039 very happy Friday and happy as I can be to 2091 01:57:12.039 --> 01:57:15.000 welcome with the fifty five KRC Morning Show Chris pie Hoode. 2092 01:57:15.000 --> 01:57:17.840 And what an impressive resume Chris is got. He served 2093 01:57:17.840 --> 01:57:20.640 as a chief executive for FBI Science and Technology Programs. 2094 01:57:20.680 --> 01:57:24.520 In his earlier career, he was with the US government 2095 01:57:24.560 --> 01:57:27.920 senior executive service official. Retired from the FBI after twenty 2096 01:57:28.000 --> 01:57:30.399 five years. And I just mentioned part of the FBI 2097 01:57:30.479 --> 01:57:32.840 Science and Technology program he was a one point director 2098 01:57:32.880 --> 01:57:36.880 of the US government twenty four hour Global Terrorist Screening Center, 2099 01:57:37.399 --> 01:57:40.039 also Special Agent in charge of the FBI's Buffalo, New 2100 01:57:40.119 --> 01:57:42.880 York Field office. In his early career, he worked on 2101 01:57:43.000 --> 01:57:47.720 programs and areas regarding counter terrorism, counterintelligence, technical programs, physical 2102 01:57:47.760 --> 01:57:51.720 and informational security, weapons of mass destruction, intelligence collection. I 2103 01:57:51.800 --> 01:57:53.800 could go on, we wouldn't be able to talk about 2104 01:57:53.880 --> 01:57:58.039 his book Wanted the FBI. I once knew how to 2105 01:57:58.119 --> 01:58:02.279 restore faith in the world's premieer long enforcement agency. Chris Pihota, 2106 01:58:02.399 --> 01:58:04.000 Welcome to the Morning Show. It's a pleasure to have 2107 01:58:04.119 --> 01:58:04.279 you on. 2108 01:58:05.880 --> 01:58:07.520 Oh, it's a pleasure to be with you this morning. 2109 01:58:07.600 --> 01:58:09.560 And thanks for the opportunity to visit with you and 2110 01:58:09.600 --> 01:58:10.119 your audience. 2111 01:58:10.199 --> 01:58:12.119 Oh and I'm sure they are excited to hear from you. 2112 01:58:12.279 --> 01:58:14.640 And the name of the book I think suggests it 2113 01:58:14.720 --> 01:58:18.800 all how to restore faith, suggesting of course that a 2114 01:58:18.840 --> 01:58:22.399 lot of us have lost faith in the FBI. And 2115 01:58:22.720 --> 01:58:24.520 I'm going to get your impressions where you think it 2116 01:58:24.600 --> 01:58:27.640 went wrong. But as I observe from the notes and information, 2117 01:58:28.279 --> 01:58:33.119 somewhere after September eleventh, that's when the problems kicked in. 2118 01:58:33.239 --> 01:58:35.600 How do you connect September eleventh and how has the 2119 01:58:35.680 --> 01:58:39.279 direction of the FBI deteriorated leading to you writing about 2120 01:58:39.279 --> 01:58:41.600 this in the book Wanted the FBI. I once knew. 2121 01:58:43.199 --> 01:58:46.720 Well after nine to eleven there are some obvious, of course, 2122 01:58:46.800 --> 01:58:49.880 shortfalls that allowed that tragedy to happen. So the FBI 2123 01:58:50.079 --> 01:58:55.319 made a very violent shift in its organizational operations, moving 2124 01:58:55.439 --> 01:58:58.680 from a traditional law enforcement kind of the cops and 2125 01:58:58.760 --> 01:59:04.000 robbers organization that it was into being a national security 2126 01:59:04.159 --> 01:59:11.039 focused intelligence organization domestic security related function that it became. 2127 01:59:11.600 --> 01:59:15.000 And as all things in the government do, they start 2128 01:59:15.039 --> 01:59:18.239 with good intention and then move into other areas of 2129 01:59:18.760 --> 01:59:22.199 mission creep and then a lack of mission focus after 2130 01:59:22.319 --> 01:59:26.479 a while, and what we saw was certain decisions were 2131 01:59:26.520 --> 01:59:30.319 being made that led the FBI to becoming what we 2132 01:59:30.560 --> 01:59:34.680 what I call corporatized. There were a lot of private sector, 2133 01:59:37.000 --> 01:59:41.239 private sector approaches, private sector ideas brought into the FBI 2134 01:59:41.680 --> 01:59:45.279 to change its culture after nine to eleven, and the 2135 01:59:45.439 --> 01:59:50.279 corporatized FBI moved away from the beliefs and values and 2136 01:59:50.399 --> 01:59:55.439 practices that made the FBI legendary leading up to that point. Well, 2137 01:59:55.520 --> 01:59:57.600 I think we threw out the baby with the bathwater. 2138 01:59:57.760 --> 01:59:59.920 Okay, I understand, and I guess you know what I 2139 02:00:00.000 --> 02:00:02.439 I think a traditional FBI, you know, going back to 2140 02:00:03.079 --> 02:00:06.479 you know, the television program and busting people for you know, 2141 02:00:06.600 --> 02:00:11.359 RICO violations, organized crime and all those complex criminal investigations. 2142 02:00:11.800 --> 02:00:16.840 The world has changed dramatically because of the Internet and cybersecurity, 2143 02:00:16.880 --> 02:00:19.960 and you are an expert in cyber operations and security practices. 2144 02:00:20.760 --> 02:00:23.119 Is that part of the challenge the FBI faced in 2145 02:00:23.199 --> 02:00:27.840 this culture shift, dealing with the realities of this wide, 2146 02:00:27.920 --> 02:00:30.960 open and insecure systems that we have. 2147 02:00:33.079 --> 02:00:36.239 It was definitely a challenge. Back when the Internet came 2148 02:00:36.319 --> 02:00:41.199 online very quickly, we found that the Internet enhanced our lives, 2149 02:00:41.239 --> 02:00:43.720 but it also made better bad guys, and it gave 2150 02:00:43.760 --> 02:00:48.039 them better opportunities to attack people from afar, And we 2151 02:00:48.199 --> 02:00:53.560 saw a lot of the traditional criminal activities become enhanced 2152 02:00:53.800 --> 02:00:58.079 and unlimited by geography and other logistics that used to 2153 02:00:58.199 --> 02:01:02.680 limit the criminal activity and effectiveness. So what we found 2154 02:01:02.760 --> 02:01:08.479 also was that the national security threat environment changed with 2155 02:01:08.640 --> 02:01:11.319 the Internet as well when it came to terrorism and 2156 02:01:11.399 --> 02:01:16.319 counterintelligence activities. So the FBI had a lot of searching 2157 02:01:16.439 --> 02:01:18.359 to do when it came to looking at how we're 2158 02:01:18.399 --> 02:01:21.880 going to protect the American people while still upholding the 2159 02:01:22.000 --> 02:01:26.239 constitutional freedoms that our society enjoys. And it was a 2160 02:01:26.279 --> 02:01:27.239 difficult transition. 2161 02:01:27.840 --> 02:01:31.239 Well, I guess it seemed to have become very politicized 2162 02:01:31.359 --> 02:01:35.640 in you know, the the investigations of January sixth, for example, 2163 02:01:35.760 --> 02:01:37.800 it seems to me that the entire resources of all 2164 02:01:37.880 --> 02:01:42.119 the FBI we were turned on every single individual that 2165 02:01:42.199 --> 02:01:44.199 happened to be in the area of the of the 2166 02:01:44.279 --> 02:01:49.079 Capitol building during that riot. It would that have been 2167 02:01:49.159 --> 02:01:53.079 the norm under earlier FBI times, that they would spend 2168 02:01:53.199 --> 02:01:55.600 so much time and effort to go after those folks. 2169 02:01:57.279 --> 02:02:01.199 No, what you saw there was the result of the 2170 02:02:01.399 --> 02:02:06.319 last iteration of SBI leadership allowing their own personal and 2171 02:02:06.479 --> 02:02:12.640 political views to overly influence SBI operational decision making and 2172 02:02:12.800 --> 02:02:16.720 resource allocation. Used to be where the FBI would have 2173 02:02:17.479 --> 02:02:23.520 been very reluctant and almost unwilling to do something like that, 2174 02:02:23.760 --> 02:02:27.760 But we've seen that cultural decline and erosion over time 2175 02:02:27.840 --> 02:02:32.199 where the leadership was either amenable to it or unable 2176 02:02:32.880 --> 02:02:37.800 to resist the maybe the influence of the last administration. 2177 02:02:38.199 --> 02:02:40.800 Well, As a lawyer, I viewed the law as the law. 2178 02:02:40.920 --> 02:02:43.039 You know, as long as it's equally applied, it says 2179 02:02:43.119 --> 02:02:44.760 what it is. There are crimes on the book. You 2180 02:02:44.840 --> 02:02:47.479 go after people regardless of political stride. But is this 2181 02:02:48.760 --> 02:02:51.359 politization that seems to have gone on, is that because 2182 02:02:51.479 --> 02:02:55.279 of the hiring practices. Did they actually seek out and 2183 02:02:55.800 --> 02:02:58.239 seek to hire and hire people who were of a 2184 02:02:59.159 --> 02:03:02.880 particular political mindsets that they would embrace this kind of operation. 2185 02:03:05.119 --> 02:03:09.199 I'm not. I don't think it's the recruitment of new people. 2186 02:03:09.600 --> 02:03:13.640 It was the promotion of people inside the organization who 2187 02:03:13.920 --> 02:03:19.319 showed a guess, you can call it, a likeness to 2188 02:03:19.439 --> 02:03:23.800 the senior leadership's political views. So what you saw was 2189 02:03:23.840 --> 02:03:27.399 all those people of like mind rising into very senior 2190 02:03:27.479 --> 02:03:35.119 and influential positions that then pushed those ideas and practices 2191 02:03:35.239 --> 02:03:36.319 down into the workforce. 2192 02:03:36.800 --> 02:03:39.920 And I suppose a frontline agent who was interested in 2193 02:03:40.039 --> 02:03:43.520 the old school idea of just finding criminals and prosecuting 2194 02:03:43.600 --> 02:03:47.439 bad guys. They were told and instructed by their politicized 2195 02:03:47.479 --> 02:03:49.520 seniors that you do the job that I'm telling you 2196 02:03:49.600 --> 02:03:51.159 to do, and they probably had no say in the matter. 2197 02:03:51.239 --> 02:03:54.800 Then, yeah, you have very little say in what you 2198 02:03:54.920 --> 02:03:58.880 can actually do. You accept direction and order. And this 2199 02:03:59.039 --> 02:04:00.840 is what I tried to explain this somebody the other day. 2200 02:04:01.920 --> 02:04:04.800 If you're given an order or direction that's not illegal 2201 02:04:05.560 --> 02:04:09.600 or unsafe, you know, causing bodily harm, I mean, you're 2202 02:04:09.640 --> 02:04:12.760 you're obligated to do what you're told on a certain level. 2203 02:04:12.800 --> 02:04:15.880 And I said, there's a difference between being an independent 2204 02:04:16.000 --> 02:04:21.000 investigator versus being an insubordinate investigator. So it's a fine 2205 02:04:21.079 --> 02:04:23.840 line you walk, and people will voice their displeasure and 2206 02:04:24.319 --> 02:04:28.439 their disagreement, but ultimately, if it's a lawful, legal order 2207 02:04:28.560 --> 02:04:31.279 that comes from the White House to the Attorney General, 2208 02:04:31.479 --> 02:04:34.119 from the director of the FBI, the folks are going 2209 02:04:34.159 --> 02:04:36.520 to grit their teeth and still do their best to 2210 02:04:37.439 --> 02:04:39.920 you know, conduct a mission and protect the American people. 2211 02:04:40.600 --> 02:04:43.439 And my recollection is the FBI was at least on 2212 02:04:43.720 --> 02:04:47.800 some level involved with and sometimes inside social media suppressing 2213 02:04:48.319 --> 02:04:54.520 speech of the certain viewpoints. Your reaction to that even happening, 2214 02:04:55.159 --> 02:04:57.000 it seems to me to be something that should be 2215 02:04:57.119 --> 02:05:00.279 way beyond and outside of the FBI's job to tell 2216 02:05:00.319 --> 02:05:02.439 people what they can and cannot say on social media 2217 02:05:02.560 --> 02:05:06.159 or direct social media companies to suppress certain types of 2218 02:05:06.199 --> 02:05:07.199 speech or messages. 2219 02:05:08.880 --> 02:05:11.359 Absolutely, there was no there was no place for that. 2220 02:05:11.520 --> 02:05:14.359 I think the relationship that the FBI has with social 2221 02:05:14.439 --> 02:05:18.840 media is a cooperative one to identify potential threats to 2222 02:05:18.880 --> 02:05:23.680 public safety and then work with social media to you know, 2223 02:05:24.279 --> 02:05:26.920 to to put messaging out to people on how they 2224 02:05:27.000 --> 02:05:29.880 can remain safe and then take care of themselves, not 2225 02:05:30.079 --> 02:05:33.720 to suppress speech, not to target certain types of speech, 2226 02:05:33.760 --> 02:05:38.159 whether conservative or liberal, or whatever your your flavor is. 2227 02:05:38.800 --> 02:05:41.920 But the FBI, and it's in its last iteration again, 2228 02:05:42.079 --> 02:05:45.800 allowed its own personal at the leadership level, allowed its 2229 02:05:45.800 --> 02:05:49.920 own personal ideas and beliefs to form some of those 2230 02:05:50.039 --> 02:05:54.520 relationships that were to me unhealthy and took took us 2231 02:05:54.600 --> 02:05:57.600 down a bad path toward that I would call almost 2232 02:05:57.640 --> 02:05:59.079 you know, a certain level of censorship. 2233 02:05:59.680 --> 02:06:03.760 Now, with Cash Mattel being confirmed as the new FBI director, 2234 02:06:04.840 --> 02:06:08.000 your reaction to the confirmation to Cash Hotel generally, and 2235 02:06:08.039 --> 02:06:10.560 do you think he's in a position and can sort 2236 02:06:10.600 --> 02:06:12.800 of right the ship if I can use that term again. 2237 02:06:14.239 --> 02:06:16.960 Sure, Well, first of all, I'd like to offer congratulations 2238 02:06:17.000 --> 02:06:20.039 to Director Patel. I'm glad he made it through the 2239 02:06:20.800 --> 02:06:23.640 confirmation process as he did. I saw it was a 2240 02:06:23.800 --> 02:06:26.239 It was a pretty close vote, but these days, I 2241 02:06:26.279 --> 02:06:29.960 think we received voting on these matters that roll along, 2242 02:06:30.720 --> 02:06:34.359 you know, political lines, So it wasn't unexpected. As far 2243 02:06:34.439 --> 02:06:38.119 as mister Patel's future goes, I think, you know, he's 2244 02:06:38.159 --> 02:06:41.279 the right guy for right now. He has the confidence 2245 02:06:41.319 --> 02:06:44.079 of the Chief Executive and the Attorney General, and I 2246 02:06:44.159 --> 02:06:48.399 think he actually wants to be part of a foundational 2247 02:06:48.560 --> 02:06:51.239 change of the FBI, and he wants to be part 2248 02:06:51.279 --> 02:06:55.159 of that return of the FBI to being that trusted 2249 02:06:55.239 --> 02:06:59.239 and dependable organization that so many people counted on for decades. 2250 02:06:59.600 --> 02:07:02.479 And you know, he wants to return the FBI to 2251 02:07:02.640 --> 02:07:05.159 the trust of the American people. So I think he 2252 02:07:05.239 --> 02:07:08.680 has a good background. He understands the threat environment that 2253 02:07:08.800 --> 02:07:12.640 the FBI will be working in with him, and I 2254 02:07:12.760 --> 02:07:16.199 think he's got to form a senior leadership team around 2255 02:07:16.279 --> 02:07:19.159 him to help him make some of those foundational changes. 2256 02:07:19.479 --> 02:07:20.720 Those are one of his. 2257 02:07:20.760 --> 02:07:21.800 First orders of business. 2258 02:07:21.840 --> 02:07:23.760 He's got to figure out where his command and control 2259 02:07:24.239 --> 02:07:26.199 is going to come from in the organization. 2260 02:07:26.920 --> 02:07:29.279 What kind of reminds me of in some parallels with 2261 02:07:29.359 --> 02:07:32.079 Pete hegseeth trying to return the military to its core 2262 02:07:32.199 --> 02:07:35.279 mission of as I, boil it down, kill people, and 2263 02:07:35.359 --> 02:07:39.119 break things the military ethos as opposed to DEI and 2264 02:07:39.680 --> 02:07:42.399 expanding you know what, wolf policies and the like, and 2265 02:07:42.600 --> 02:07:45.039 to that end, do you think that had a deleterious 2266 02:07:45.039 --> 02:07:48.359 effect on the FBI those types of policies, the DEI 2267 02:07:48.720 --> 02:07:52.319 and and focusing on things that seem totally unrelated to 2268 02:07:52.399 --> 02:07:53.039 law enforcement. 2269 02:07:54.439 --> 02:07:59.840 Yeah, absolutely terribly damaging to the FBI. The FBI, in 2270 02:08:00.000 --> 02:08:03.800 and its core mission set is there to protect us 2271 02:08:04.199 --> 02:08:07.640 from national security threats and crime problems. That's what the 2272 02:08:07.760 --> 02:08:10.560 FBI does, and they're good at it when they're allowed 2273 02:08:10.600 --> 02:08:13.239 to do it and they're given the proper leadership environment. 2274 02:08:13.560 --> 02:08:16.880 What we saw over the past four years was a 2275 02:08:17.119 --> 02:08:21.920 series of distractions from the core mission set, and we 2276 02:08:22.079 --> 02:08:26.319 also saw again the substitution of some of the senior 2277 02:08:26.399 --> 02:08:33.239 leadership's personal political ideas and ideologies and personal preferences versus 2278 02:08:33.399 --> 02:08:39.479 the objective, apolitical, skilled investigative work that the FBI was 2279 02:08:39.560 --> 02:08:39.840 known for. 2280 02:08:40.680 --> 02:08:43.359 Well, and you speak of national security threats and crime, 2281 02:08:43.920 --> 02:08:46.640 I'm rather concerned, and of course I don't. I'm not 2282 02:08:46.720 --> 02:08:50.239 alone in my concerns. With the last multiple years of 2283 02:08:50.319 --> 02:08:55.199 open borders, we know of significant numbers of Chinese military 2284 02:08:55.279 --> 02:08:58.239 age man not picking on the race of China, but 2285 02:08:58.319 --> 02:09:00.079 we know if they're here and they got here, they 2286 02:09:00.079 --> 02:09:02.199 probably had the approval of the Chinese Communist Party, and 2287 02:09:02.239 --> 02:09:05.760 therein lies the challenge. We know that CCP has hacked 2288 02:09:05.800 --> 02:09:09.039 into all kinds of our operations, both in private industry 2289 02:09:09.079 --> 02:09:12.239 but also into the federal government. You're an expert in 2290 02:09:12.319 --> 02:09:16.079 security matters like cyber operations and security practices. Do you 2291 02:09:16.199 --> 02:09:19.119 view this as significant a threat? Is at least I 2292 02:09:19.239 --> 02:09:21.479 perceive it to be, And if so, what can we 2293 02:09:21.600 --> 02:09:22.640 possibly do about it? 2294 02:09:24.199 --> 02:09:27.600 It is an absolutely significant threat. I mean, we have 2295 02:09:27.680 --> 02:09:31.960 allowed a threat environment to form and intensify over the 2296 02:09:32.039 --> 02:09:35.800 past four years like we've never seen before. And you know, 2297 02:09:35.920 --> 02:09:40.039 the last administration had certain I think ideological or political 2298 02:09:40.640 --> 02:09:43.560 views that they allowed this to happen and now the 2299 02:09:43.960 --> 02:09:46.760 American people will suffer for it. The FBI has to 2300 02:09:47.680 --> 02:09:49.880 take a look at the current threat environment. We can't 2301 02:09:49.920 --> 02:09:53.039 be fighting the last threat, the last threatn environment like 2302 02:09:53.119 --> 02:09:56.000 the military gets accused of fighting the last war. We 2303 02:09:56.159 --> 02:09:59.520 can't be stuck in the last threat environment. We have 2304 02:09:59.600 --> 02:10:01.760 to look at what we have now when it comes 2305 02:10:01.760 --> 02:10:07.640 to international adversaries and opponents versus the internal threat that 2306 02:10:07.800 --> 02:10:11.560 is now within our borders. You said the unchecked migration 2307 02:10:11.760 --> 02:10:16.560 of unvetted personnel. These people have come to the United States, 2308 02:10:16.880 --> 02:10:20.079 some seeking a better life, some looking to be here 2309 02:10:20.279 --> 02:10:23.880 for I would say, reasons that are not good for 2310 02:10:24.000 --> 02:10:28.319 our communities. And the FBI has to reallocate its resources, 2311 02:10:28.439 --> 02:10:33.199 reprioritize its operations, and look at its current partnerships with 2312 02:10:33.279 --> 02:10:36.399 other federal, state, and local law enforcement to go out 2313 02:10:36.920 --> 02:10:40.199 and find these people and quantify the threats to our 2314 02:10:40.239 --> 02:10:42.239 communities and keep everybody safe. 2315 02:10:42.640 --> 02:10:44.920 Indeed, and you know, it's just I sit here and 2316 02:10:44.960 --> 02:10:46.359 I look at my watch, going, well, it's just a 2317 02:10:46.439 --> 02:10:49.159 moment in time away for a sleeper cell to launch 2318 02:10:49.239 --> 02:10:51.720 its nefarious activities. And I have to I mean, I 2319 02:10:51.760 --> 02:10:54.840 feel just as confident as I can be that part 2320 02:10:54.960 --> 02:10:58.359 of the illegal immigration population are here for the purposes 2321 02:10:58.399 --> 02:11:02.439 of launching nefarious operations like terrorist actions. They're just waiting 2322 02:11:02.520 --> 02:11:03.640 for the green light. 2323 02:11:05.640 --> 02:11:07.720 Yeah, I mean, I think you have a group of folks, 2324 02:11:08.560 --> 02:11:10.520 you know, factions of people who may be here for 2325 02:11:10.640 --> 02:11:13.319 something like that, but you also have factions of people 2326 02:11:13.359 --> 02:11:17.000 who are here simply to commit crime, and they're here 2327 02:11:17.119 --> 02:11:21.359 to damage the safety and security of our communities. The 2328 02:11:21.479 --> 02:11:24.159 United States is a relatively soft target. These people come 2329 02:11:24.239 --> 02:11:29.239 from hard, hard lives, and they come from rough places, 2330 02:11:29.399 --> 02:11:32.760 and the United States has always been a fairly high trust, 2331 02:11:33.199 --> 02:11:37.119 high security community, and they come from different places that 2332 02:11:37.760 --> 02:11:40.800 we're not used to certain behaviors and activities, and I 2333 02:11:40.880 --> 02:11:43.560 think we're going to find that the American people are 2334 02:11:43.600 --> 02:11:48.199 going to be subjected to increase crime, violence, and possible, 2335 02:11:48.279 --> 02:11:52.399 as you said, terrorism, Not to mention the national security 2336 02:11:52.840 --> 02:11:58.520 counterintelligence espionage activities that largely go on quietly but also 2337 02:11:58.720 --> 02:12:01.119 damage our national security and welfare. 2338 02:12:01.560 --> 02:12:04.159 Well be up to the FBI more maybe perhaps engage 2339 02:12:04.159 --> 02:12:06.359 in more widespread use of RICO to go after some 2340 02:12:06.439 --> 02:12:10.000 of these criminal enterprises, like the gangs, for example. If 2341 02:12:10.039 --> 02:12:12.239 they're coordinating efforts two or more people and further and 2342 02:12:12.319 --> 02:12:14.920 so of a criminal activity you're in rico and that's 2343 02:12:15.359 --> 02:12:18.640 going to subject into some serious prosecutorial possibilities there. 2344 02:12:20.079 --> 02:12:23.079 Yeah. Absolutely, And also the you know, the administration has 2345 02:12:23.239 --> 02:12:28.760 just designated certain international crime international gangs as terrorist organizations, 2346 02:12:28.760 --> 02:12:32.520 which opens up another avenue for use of certain investigative 2347 02:12:32.640 --> 02:12:37.840 and legal tools. So the FBI's got to also make 2348 02:12:37.920 --> 02:12:41.880 sure that it's not overly concerned, which it has been, 2349 02:12:42.399 --> 02:12:46.159 about offending people. Oh, just like other organizations, they're worried 2350 02:12:46.159 --> 02:12:51.399 about offending people and notwith keeping the American people safe. 2351 02:12:51.600 --> 02:12:53.000 And I think that was a mistake. 2352 02:12:53.600 --> 02:12:57.880 Amen. Christopher Plihotel, the name of the book wanted the FBI, 2353 02:12:58.039 --> 02:12:59.960 I once knew how to restore faith in the world, 2354 02:13:00.000 --> 02:13:03.079 world's premier law enforcement agency, a guideline to do that. 2355 02:13:03.199 --> 02:13:05.239 So I gotta draw from the name of the book 2356 02:13:05.279 --> 02:13:07.359 and our conversation today. You do have at least some 2357 02:13:07.560 --> 02:13:09.960 measure of hope and this thing can get turned around 2358 02:13:10.000 --> 02:13:11.600 and they can get back to their core mission. 2359 02:13:13.159 --> 02:13:15.680 Absolutely, I think there are people, there are enough people 2360 02:13:15.760 --> 02:13:19.720 with any FBI who will respond very favorably to a proper, 2361 02:13:20.079 --> 02:13:25.600 principled leadership environment that focuses on upholding the Constitution, protecting 2362 02:13:25.640 --> 02:13:29.680 the American people, and being the FBI of old. And 2363 02:13:29.800 --> 02:13:33.039 there are enough people who are waiting for that environment 2364 02:13:33.119 --> 02:13:35.600 to come back. They'll snap back into place and they're 2365 02:13:35.600 --> 02:13:38.119 going to give the people back the FBI that we 2366 02:13:38.199 --> 02:13:39.159 all deserve and need. 2367 02:13:39.560 --> 02:13:41.199 Chris, I'm so happy we're able to end on a 2368 02:13:41.239 --> 02:13:43.119 little dose of optimism at the end. There, get a 2369 02:13:43.159 --> 02:13:44.560 copy of the book. You can get it. I put 2370 02:13:44.600 --> 02:13:46.239 your book up at fifty five KRC dot com on 2371 02:13:46.319 --> 02:13:48.039 my blog page so people can easily buy a copy 2372 02:13:48.079 --> 02:13:49.720 of an all a courage them to do that.

That's the approaching a 2376 02:13:58.399 --> 02:14:00.439 thirty here fifty five kr CD talks today. What a 2377 02:14:00.479 --> 02:14:02.039 happy day it is to be listening to the fifty 2378 02:14:02.079 --> 02:14:05.760 five KRC Morning Show. Wonderful guest leading up to the 2379 02:14:05.920 --> 02:14:08.600 final guests of the morning, and thank God for Bill O'Reilly. 2380 02:14:08.720 --> 02:14:11.840 I cannot encourage my listeners enough to go to Bill 2381 02:14:11.880 --> 02:14:14.479 O'Reilly dot com. Bill O'Reilly, welcome back to the fifty 2382 02:14:14.520 --> 02:14:18.880 five KRC Morning Show. My friend, you have an unbelievably 2383 02:14:19.000 --> 02:14:21.239 informative web page there. I want to applaud you on 2384 02:14:21.319 --> 02:14:23.279 what you're doing. Well. 2385 02:14:23.359 --> 02:14:24.000 Thank you, Brian. 2386 02:14:24.039 --> 02:14:26.880 I appreciate you having me in I speak to you again. 2387 02:14:28.479 --> 02:14:31.000 You know, it's really interesting what's happened since Trump got 2388 02:14:31.039 --> 02:14:39.560 elected in November. The American people were so angry with 2389 02:14:39.800 --> 02:14:45.279 the Biden administration that even people who don't like Donald 2390 02:14:45.319 --> 02:14:51.560 Trump said, look, he may not be what I think 2391 02:14:51.880 --> 02:14:55.720 a president should be, but he's so much better than 2392 02:14:55.760 --> 02:14:58.760 the alternative that we're going to vote for him. But 2393 02:14:58.920 --> 02:15:03.880 the media never accepted that. Never, and so the strategy 2394 02:15:04.039 --> 02:15:08.319 now is no matter what Trump does, he's evil. It's 2395 02:15:08.359 --> 02:15:12.880 not wrong, it's evil. It's changed now the media strategy. 2396 02:15:13.239 --> 02:15:16.960 So my job is basically not sheerly donald Trump. We 2397 02:15:17.079 --> 02:15:20.720 don't do that, no, but to put it to perspective 2398 02:15:21.479 --> 02:15:23.840 things that he does, so that people can make a 2399 02:15:23.920 --> 02:15:27.439 decision based on reality. And that's why we're successful. On 2400 02:15:27.520 --> 02:15:30.840 Bill O'Reilly dot com has now it's almost eight years 2401 02:15:31.039 --> 02:15:34.720 and the thing is the most successful independent news site 2402 02:15:34.760 --> 02:15:35.159 in the world. 2403 02:15:35.439 --> 02:15:37.880 And that does not shock me a bit. Bill O'Reilly, 2404 02:15:37.920 --> 02:15:39.560 and I've had you on many times over the years, 2405 02:15:39.600 --> 02:15:41.760 and I got to ask you because I love your 2406 02:15:41.800 --> 02:15:44.079 books and I'll encourage my listeners to read them. They 2407 02:15:44.159 --> 02:15:46.840 are fascinating, you can't put them down kind of reads. 2408 02:15:47.119 --> 02:15:48.319 Are we going to get another one out of you 2409 02:15:48.359 --> 02:15:50.600 soon before we die back into politics, Bill, because I'm 2410 02:15:50.600 --> 02:15:51.680 looking forward to the next one. 2411 02:15:52.720 --> 02:15:57.680 Yeah. As you may know, Brian, Confronting the President's been 2412 02:15:57.760 --> 02:16:00.159 on the New York Times bestseller list for twenty free 2413 02:16:00.279 --> 02:16:01.119 consecutive weeks. 2414 02:16:01.359 --> 02:16:02.119 Still there. 2415 02:16:03.119 --> 02:16:06.279 I mean, it's a phenomenal seller, as most of my 2416 02:16:06.319 --> 02:16:10.920 books have been. In September, we have Confronting Evil and 2417 02:16:11.239 --> 02:16:15.840 we got the cover up on Bill O'Reilly dot com. 2418 02:16:15.960 --> 02:16:21.800 Putin's on a cover along with the Ayatollah, Halmani, Mazitung 2419 02:16:22.239 --> 02:16:26.479 and Hitler, and inside there are about ten other evil 2420 02:16:26.600 --> 02:16:29.560 doers that couldn't put them all on the cover. And 2421 02:16:29.680 --> 02:16:32.280 that book is going to be very controversial, that's for sure, 2422 02:16:32.360 --> 02:16:35.959 because you're going to learn things about Everybody thinks they 2423 02:16:36.040 --> 02:16:40.280 know these evil doers, but you really don't know how 2424 02:16:40.479 --> 02:16:44.120 the extent of what they did. And so we're editing 2425 02:16:44.239 --> 02:16:47.000 that now, actually going to turn it in next week 2426 02:16:47.120 --> 02:16:47.840 to the publisher. 2427 02:16:48.520 --> 02:16:50.719 And going back to your comments about the mainstream media, 2428 02:16:50.920 --> 02:16:53.159 he's evil. He's evil. This reminds me of the whole 2429 02:16:53.200 --> 02:16:56.120 campaign that Donald Trump's a Nazi, which suggests to me 2430 02:16:56.159 --> 02:16:58.799 that they don't understand the definition of the Nationalist Socialist Party, 2431 02:16:59.520 --> 02:17:04.200 but during their ignorance, they cling to this notion that 2432 02:17:04.360 --> 02:17:06.760 somehow he is an evil man. But look what he 2433 02:17:06.920 --> 02:17:09.479 is doing, and he's brilliant in his strategy, beginning with 2434 02:17:09.600 --> 02:17:12.159 deporting illegal immigrants, not all of them, not going in 2435 02:17:12.239 --> 02:17:14.319 and grabbing moms who've been here for ten years. They're 2436 02:17:14.399 --> 02:17:18.920 going after criminals, child rapists, for example. And the left 2437 02:17:19.000 --> 02:17:23.719 and the Democrats that are out protesting this are trying 2438 02:17:23.799 --> 02:17:27.879 to defend the indefensible. I really can't imagine any human 2439 02:17:27.959 --> 02:17:31.600 being of any political stripe wanting a child molester in 2440 02:17:31.639 --> 02:17:34.000 their neighborhood if that person came here illegally and could 2441 02:17:34.000 --> 02:17:36.040 be easily ejected from our country. 2442 02:17:38.000 --> 02:17:43.000 Here's the game. Most Americans who follow the news, and 2443 02:17:43.079 --> 02:17:46.200 that would be about half of us, so I half 2444 02:17:46.280 --> 02:17:49.920 the population, they don't know what the deuce is going on, right, 2445 02:17:50.120 --> 02:17:52.760 and that's your choice, And I mean they just sort 2446 02:17:52.760 --> 02:17:56.680 of lazy or disinterested, whatever it may be. But the 2447 02:17:56.840 --> 02:18:01.319 people who follow the cycle understand that the Trump administration 2448 02:18:02.399 --> 02:18:08.319 wants immigration law enforced, and the way to do that 2449 02:18:09.239 --> 02:18:11.639 is to present to the public the danger of not 2450 02:18:11.920 --> 02:18:16.200 enforcing it. And just as you just said, you have 2451 02:18:17.040 --> 02:18:20.680 fourteen million people allowed in by Biden, well, ten percent 2452 02:18:20.719 --> 02:18:23.000 of those people are going to be heinous criminals. That's 2453 02:18:23.600 --> 02:18:28.600 ten percent of every group is evil. So that's one million, 2454 02:18:28.760 --> 02:18:33.040 four hundred thousand, all right, that are running around causing trouble. 2455 02:18:34.079 --> 02:18:38.639 And the problem is that when ice raids and when 2456 02:18:38.680 --> 02:18:43.799 they go in, there are undocumented migrants who do not 2457 02:18:44.000 --> 02:18:47.920 have a criminal record that are swept up in the raid. So, 2458 02:18:48.120 --> 02:18:52.600 for example, they are living with the bank robber, they 2459 02:18:52.680 --> 02:18:56.280 are living with the drug dealer. A lot of women 2460 02:18:56.360 --> 02:19:00.559 are in this category and they have a child. Well, 2461 02:19:00.840 --> 02:19:05.159 that woman and child, they're swept up. They're taken because 2462 02:19:05.200 --> 02:19:08.799 they're in the residence with the dope dealer. The press 2463 02:19:09.440 --> 02:19:13.239 cleaves that off and says, oh, look at this, this 2464 02:19:13.520 --> 02:19:17.879 woman never did anything, and they're burtner. How dishonest is 2465 02:19:17.920 --> 02:19:21.319 that they don't explain that the woman has a relationship 2466 02:19:21.399 --> 02:19:24.399 with the drug dealer. So what are you supposed to do? 2467 02:19:25.719 --> 02:19:29.799 And I could give you a hundred examples of that 2468 02:19:29.959 --> 02:19:32.920 kind of press dishonesty, and I do on the No 2469 02:19:33.040 --> 02:19:35.440 Spin News every day. I mean, it's what we do 2470 02:19:36.280 --> 02:19:39.399 because we have to protect Americans from falsehoods. 2471 02:19:40.680 --> 02:19:42.920 Well, and the other thing component, and I talk about 2472 02:19:42.920 --> 02:19:45.600 low hanging fruit, defending the indefensible, is what the left 2473 02:19:45.680 --> 02:19:47.600 is trying to do. When you look at, for example, 2474 02:19:47.719 --> 02:19:50.520 some of the programs that were revealed by the Doge 2475 02:19:50.559 --> 02:19:53.840 effort over US eight, you know, tens of millions, hundreds 2476 02:19:53.840 --> 02:19:56.120 of millions of dollars of the American taxpayer's money going 2477 02:19:56.159 --> 02:20:01.879 to programs that on their face are indefensible. And yet 2478 02:20:02.000 --> 02:20:05.200 and and and the second component of that is nobody 2479 02:20:05.360 --> 02:20:08.799 knows if the money actually went to any given program 2480 02:20:08.959 --> 02:20:11.719 to accomplish the goal that was stated in the grant. 2481 02:20:11.799 --> 02:20:13.840 They don't follow the reality. And it seems to me 2482 02:20:13.959 --> 02:20:16.280 just a bunch of bribes, kickbacks, and payoffs for a 2483 02:20:16.319 --> 02:20:18.680 bunch of organizations, either here within the country or out 2484 02:20:18.719 --> 02:20:21.399 in the world. They're just soaking up the American taxpayers dollars. 2485 02:20:22.559 --> 02:20:27.120 It's always been that way. Whenever American tax money leaves 2486 02:20:27.239 --> 02:20:30.000 the United States and goes to a foreign country, we 2487 02:20:30.120 --> 02:20:33.559 don't have any authority over it. So we don't have 2488 02:20:33.760 --> 02:20:41.319 investigators in Gaza or in Israel or in Ukraine, to 2489 02:20:41.399 --> 02:20:45.639 make sure that the money is spent the way it's designated. 2490 02:20:46.040 --> 02:20:50.760 That has never existed. So Trump, that drives him nuts. 2491 02:20:51.520 --> 02:20:55.000 That drives him absolutely crazy. And what he did was 2492 02:20:55.079 --> 02:20:58.440 he said, look to Musk you find out the most 2493 02:20:58.520 --> 02:21:03.120 extreme examples and our presented to the American people, and 2494 02:21:03.239 --> 02:21:06.040 we'll try to clean this thing up to some extent. 2495 02:21:06.079 --> 02:21:06.639 They'll never be. 2496 02:21:06.639 --> 02:21:10.239 Able to clean it up entirely, but we'll try to 2497 02:21:10.280 --> 02:21:13.879 get people outraged about the waste of taxpayer's dolls. That's 2498 02:21:13.920 --> 02:21:18.280 what they're doing now. The fact that the Democrats are resisting, 2499 02:21:18.479 --> 02:21:22.879 that works the Trump's advantage and the Republican Party's advantage 2500 02:21:22.879 --> 02:21:26.079 because most Americans they're going, well, why aren't you supporting 2501 02:21:27.879 --> 02:21:32.280 programs that are better? Why you want millions of dollars 2502 02:21:32.840 --> 02:21:36.239 to go to a sesame street show in Iraq? That 2503 02:21:36.360 --> 02:21:39.639 there's no good for anybody. If they want a sesame 2504 02:21:40.000 --> 02:21:43.319 street show, let them put it on. Why do we 2505 02:21:43.479 --> 02:21:44.639 have to put it pay for it? 2506 02:21:45.200 --> 02:21:45.319 All? 2507 02:21:45.399 --> 02:21:51.200 Right? So the Democratic Party at this point is fracturing, 2508 02:21:52.280 --> 02:21:53.799 and I don't know if they're going to come back 2509 02:21:53.840 --> 02:21:57.440 anytime soon because there's no leader. They don't have a leader, 2510 02:21:58.840 --> 02:22:02.159 and without a leader, it's all over the place. They're 2511 02:22:02.200 --> 02:22:05.920 actually losing ground, even in the face of Trump being 2512 02:22:06.000 --> 02:22:06.920 so controversial. 2513 02:22:07.360 --> 02:22:09.799 Well, and one of the things most identified he was 2514 02:22:09.840 --> 02:22:14.879 looking at Social Security and all of the folks over 2515 02:22:14.959 --> 02:22:17.040 the age of one hundred who are still at least 2516 02:22:17.159 --> 02:22:19.360 on the books eligible and this remains to be seen 2517 02:22:19.399 --> 02:22:22.719 whether checks are still going out to them, but everyone is, 2518 02:22:22.879 --> 02:22:26.040 it seems, counting on Social Security again, regardless of political stripe. 2519 02:22:26.200 --> 02:22:29.520 When you see that, if you just are a casual 2520 02:22:29.600 --> 02:22:32.680 political observer, you're like, wait a second, what, there's people 2521 02:22:32.799 --> 02:22:34.559 on the Social Security roles that are one hundred and 2522 02:22:34.600 --> 02:22:37.040 fifty years old. How can that be? The things underwater? 2523 02:22:37.159 --> 02:22:39.920 The CBO has been warning about it for decades. Nobody 2524 02:22:40.000 --> 02:22:42.040 lifts a finger to try to salvage the system that 2525 02:22:42.159 --> 02:22:44.079 so many people think that's what they're going to have 2526 02:22:44.319 --> 02:22:49.280 to rely on in retirement. That angers a lot of people, sure, and. 2527 02:22:49.399 --> 02:22:53.120 It should, but it's unrealistic to think that in a 2528 02:22:53.239 --> 02:22:56.360 nation of three hundred and sixty million people that the 2529 02:22:56.639 --> 02:23:00.319 federal government is going to be able to monitor each 2530 02:23:00.399 --> 02:23:03.319 check entitlement check that goes out. They're never going to 2531 02:23:03.360 --> 02:23:05.879 be able to do that. But you want to bring 2532 02:23:06.159 --> 02:23:11.319 some kind of discipline into these agencies, and under Biden 2533 02:23:12.200 --> 02:23:16.479 there is zero accountability. It got way out of control. 2534 02:23:16.920 --> 02:23:22.760 The COVID stuff was insane, absolutely Okay. Trump is trying 2535 02:23:22.840 --> 02:23:30.319 to bring in a new paradigm for these agencies where 2536 02:23:30.399 --> 02:23:34.079 they have to apply some kind of discipline, They have 2537 02:23:34.239 --> 02:23:36.680 to get rid of the ivy logues, they have to 2538 02:23:36.760 --> 02:23:39.200 hire people who are going to watch the dough. Now 2539 02:23:39.319 --> 02:23:43.200 is he going to succeed? Partially because it should. The 2540 02:23:43.280 --> 02:23:47.319 problem is just to mammoth. But he's doing the right thing. 2541 02:23:48.440 --> 02:23:53.760 But again, the press is so hateful toward him. They're 2542 02:23:53.799 --> 02:23:56.120 never going to say that, They're never going to report 2543 02:23:56.200 --> 02:24:00.840 on him fairly, and therefore many millions of Americas think 2544 02:24:00.879 --> 02:24:03.559 the guys the devil because they don't really pay attention 2545 02:24:04.120 --> 02:24:05.440 to what's actually happening. 2546 02:24:06.000 --> 02:24:07.879 Well, Elon Musk said it the other day, and I 2547 02:24:08.079 --> 02:24:10.319 have to paraphrase because I can't quote the man, but 2548 02:24:10.719 --> 02:24:14.600 he warned of what is quite literally the existential threat 2549 02:24:14.639 --> 02:24:17.079 posed by our national debt and deficit, and that we 2550 02:24:17.200 --> 02:24:20.360 are going to fall apart literally and we will fall 2551 02:24:20.440 --> 02:24:22.479 apart along with the rest of the world, who seems 2552 02:24:22.520 --> 02:24:26.280 to rely on the American taxpayers to stay afloat. Somebody said, 2553 02:24:26.319 --> 02:24:28.399 you know, oh, well you have this whole idea about you. Well, 2554 02:24:28.440 --> 02:24:31.280 I'll just move to New Zealand if the Fiat currency collapsed. 2555 02:24:31.280 --> 02:24:32.959 He said, no, that's not going to be possible because 2556 02:24:32.959 --> 02:24:34.440 New Zealand will go down the toilet too. 2557 02:24:35.440 --> 02:24:41.879 Sure, And you can't tax the people anymore, Brian, you can't. 2558 02:24:43.719 --> 02:24:48.760 They're just up to their eyebrows. Yes, in paying to local, 2559 02:24:48.920 --> 02:24:52.840 state and federal officials. I mean New York, where I live, 2560 02:24:53.159 --> 02:24:55.799 is the highest tax state and union. We are losing 2561 02:24:56.280 --> 02:24:59.879 hundreds of thousands of people a year moving out of here, 2562 02:25:01.239 --> 02:25:08.440 and replacing those people are foreign nationals who are on welfare. Okay, 2563 02:25:09.079 --> 02:25:11.760 so the people who are earning a decent buck they're 2564 02:25:11.840 --> 02:25:17.559 leaving replaced by people who need government assistance. Now I'm generalizing, 2565 02:25:18.319 --> 02:25:22.319 but that's the accurate picture. So the Democratic Party again 2566 02:25:22.399 --> 02:25:27.399 doesn't seem to understand that you cannot tax people anymore 2567 02:25:28.520 --> 02:25:31.840 than you are now. And then Bernie Sanders and these 2568 02:25:31.879 --> 02:25:35.520 social is, Oh, the brillionaires, and that's a bunch of garbage. 2569 02:25:35.559 --> 02:25:39.959 There are very few of those people. The bulk of 2570 02:25:40.040 --> 02:25:45.879 the tax receipts are working class, blue collar folks. Who 2571 02:25:46.000 --> 02:25:50.559 cannot pay anymore. So you've got to cut the waste 2572 02:25:51.120 --> 02:25:54.479 and the massive spending, which is what Musk has been 2573 02:25:54.600 --> 02:25:56.399 tasked to do well in. 2574 02:25:56.479 --> 02:25:59.079 So far doing an excellent job of elevating this type 2575 02:25:59.120 --> 02:26:02.000 of thing to the average Americans' attention and the average 2576 02:26:02.000 --> 02:26:04.600 Americans seeing some positive in all this based upon the 2577 02:26:04.639 --> 02:26:06.799 points you've made today here on the Morning Show. And 2578 02:26:06.879 --> 02:26:08.920 we can only hope that the energy and the effort 2579 02:26:08.959 --> 02:26:11.600 behind it continues to neure to our advantage. Because we 2580 02:26:11.680 --> 02:26:15.120 go back the other direction, we're stuck. We're screwed. I mean, yeah, 2581 02:26:15.159 --> 02:26:16.799 you may as well just pull the flag down and 2582 02:26:17.600 --> 02:26:19.920 go hide in a hole or something. Bill O'Reilly. 2583 02:26:20.879 --> 02:26:25.639 Yeah, Look, the Trump administration has an opportunity. It needs 2584 02:26:25.680 --> 02:26:28.040 to be more disciplined. I don't think that's going to happen. 2585 02:26:28.559 --> 02:26:32.639 That's not how the president rolls, as a cre cliche goes, 2586 02:26:34.399 --> 02:26:37.399 I would do it a little bit differently in style form. 2587 02:26:38.159 --> 02:26:41.440 But what they're trying to do is a positive for 2588 02:26:41.639 --> 02:26:46.600 the country. Unfortunately, many people in the country don't understand 2589 02:26:46.719 --> 02:26:48.920 that now, but you know, we all do. 2590 02:26:49.200 --> 02:26:49.920 We do, Brian. 2591 02:26:50.000 --> 02:26:52.360 I mean, you do a good show every morning in 2592 02:26:52.479 --> 02:26:55.319 Cincinnati and tell the folks what you think. I do 2593 02:26:55.440 --> 02:26:57.399 the same thing on Bill O'Reilly dot com, and I 2594 02:26:57.440 --> 02:26:59.840 write the books and I get the word out and 2595 02:27:00.079 --> 02:27:02.799 then folks believe what they want to believe. But we 2596 02:27:02.920 --> 02:27:06.159 have an opportunity here in the next forty seven months. 2597 02:27:06.559 --> 02:27:10.200 That's what Trump has, and if he does well, then 2598 02:27:10.319 --> 02:27:13.120 Vance will be the next president, because I don't think 2599 02:27:13.159 --> 02:27:15.200 the Democratic Party is going to be able to recover 2600 02:27:16.079 --> 02:27:19.840 in you know, the forty seven months that Trump has well. 2601 02:27:19.719 --> 02:27:22.440 They're going to have to find somebody other than Gavin Newsome, 2602 02:27:23.319 --> 02:27:27.360 the guy no backbench finished, thankfully, no backbench in the 2603 02:27:27.440 --> 02:27:30.840 Democrat Party.
