WEBVTT 1 00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:11.039 Five o four. I think you've bought a k r 2 00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:28.199 C the talk station. Happy Friday, there are a vacation 3 00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:36.000 from this Yes, indeed, Happy uh Friday to everybody. Brian 4 00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:38.759 Thomas right here, Danny Gleason covering for the I don't 5 00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:41.920 know where the hell Joe Tracker is. Danny, do you 6 00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:47.399 know where j Just Tracker is? All right, taking some vacation. 7 00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:49.960 He's entitled to it. I'm not saying he's not. Just 8 00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.960 don't know where he is anyway. Uh okay, I'll use 9 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:55.479 all the help I can get this morning. If you 10 00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:59.119 want a phone call in, I will be using the 11 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.600 cough button regularly this morning. I'm morning ahead of time. 12 00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:05.159 I and my wife even told me not to come 13 00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:06.840 in today. I said, who's going to cover for me? 14 00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:10.840 No one knows I'm sick. I've got this really one 15 00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:15.519 of those deep, deep, deep deep coughs. So you know, 16 00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:17.640 apologies ahead of time. I'll do all I can to 17 00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.359 sort of again hit the cough button at the appropriate time, 18 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:25.000 assuming it doesn't get covered up by paper. Hey, the 19 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.879 phone number to reach me five one three seven fifty 20 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.319 five hundred eight hundred eighty two to three talk pound 21 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.280 five fifty on at and T phones and it being Friday. 22 00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:36.079 Of course, I always look forward to six thirty Tech 23 00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:39.640 Friday with Dave Hatter in addition to celebrating him being 24 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:43.359 elected Official of the Year in Kentucky, we'll also be 25 00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:46.040 talking tech, which is of course the point of the segment. 26 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:51.560 Smart TVs are spying on you. That's a hard full 27 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:54.200 stop on that one, so we'll get the details from 28 00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:56.519 Dave on that. We'll also be talking about data brokers 29 00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:01.480 tracking your phone. Apparently the chi cooms are as well. 30 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.519 A couple of comments and stories on that too. Here 31 00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:09.919 in a moment business email scams costing companies only fifty 32 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.680 five billion dollars over the last ten years. I can't 33 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.319 believe that figure is not more than that for ten years, 34 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:20.759 but that one's gonna jump. Dave Williams tax Payer Protection 35 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.240 Alliance returns at seven oh five. Thank god, we got 36 00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:27.240 a guess at seven oh five. Will Trump real in 37 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.039 government spending? I sure hope. So I've got so much 38 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.960 positivity in connection with Elon Musk and him being involved 39 00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.759 in reducing government spending. We can only hope that that 40 00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:43.879 can happen, and everyone should want that. I you know, 41 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.599 I think about people who are angry over Trump getting elected. 42 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:49.360 At least he's promised to cut the spending. The question 43 00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:54.560 becomes where we can have a thoughtful debate on what 44 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.840 should be cut. I mean, you know, even I who 45 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:03.439 love my American military, I love my veteran friends out there, 46 00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:05.639 are you do you think for a minute that I 47 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.879 don't believe there's fraud, waste, and abuse and government spending 48 00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:13.360 when it comes to the military. I would maybe even 49 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.599 argue it could be the worst possible place for fraud, 50 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.560 wasted abuse. Do I want to defund the military? 51 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:19.719 No? 52 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.840 You know what I want. I want ships, I want subs, 53 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.240 I want munitions. I want it done at the right price, 54 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.240 and I want some oversight. So evil, nefarious, idiot contractors 55 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.680 out there aren't taking advantage of us, because of course, 56 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:36.560 the nation's security is contingent on it. I think of 57 00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:39.560 all of our contracts with Boeing. Boeing's falling apart, and 58 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.560 Jay Ratliff joins the program every Thursday, even brought it 59 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.280 up yesterday. Boeing's struggling. It's got all these problems on 60 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:51.120 its hands. Manufacturings, you know, lines are doing shoddy production, 61 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.360 and you're like, well, how in the hell can they 62 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.039 stay in business and either well, there's nobody else to 63 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:01.840 replace them, and they've got massive numbers of government contracts, 64 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.000 which may be the one reason they're still in business. 65 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.840 In the world of airplanes, basically got Airbus and Boeing. 66 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.280 Boeing stays afloat because our American government keeps hiring them 67 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.439 to do the manufacturing of all this military stuff. I 68 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:20.240 know we need it. I'm sorry, I don't know how 69 00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.680 I got that in that tangent. Is the future looking brighter? 70 00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.720 Dave Williams w lask answer that question, and what is 71 00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:33.360 the Pharmacy, Audit and Transparency Act. No Day's going to 72 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.000 talk about that, and seems to me something that maybe 73 00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.040 RFK Junior might be involved with, since he's going to 74 00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:41.480 be taking a prominent role in the Trump administration by 75 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.240 all accounts. So that's the topics with Dave Williams. We 76 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:49.120 fast forward to eighth five. Got Steve Gorum joined the program, 77 00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:52.439 Got an empower use simminar to talk about with Steve. Steve, 78 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:55.600 he's gonna be talking about no more green new deal, really, 79 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:02.639 no more our to believe, although you know likelihood that 80 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.879 we pair back on this nonsense is significant, and I 81 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:12.000 saw that the the global climate community is a little 82 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:18.279 concerned about a Trump administration. Those rather funny. Anybody listens 83 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:20.360 to the programs knows that I'm not a big fan 84 00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:23.480 of the United Nations. Quite often, the United Nations has 85 00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:27.879 absolutely zero interest in the interest of the United States. 86 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:30.879 I really fully believe that the only reason we're still 87 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.560 involved in the United Nations and many nations as well, 88 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:36.839 considering they don't get much done. They certainly don't stop 89 00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:40.240 wars and conflicts, They certainly don't try to well seemingly 90 00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:44.639 they don't try to negotiate any peace, but they do 91 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.639 try to show things like climate and legislation down our throats. 92 00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:53.680 And according to Lawrence Tubiana, the lead negotiator of the 93 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:58.079 twenty fifteen Paris Climate Agreement, in his post yesterday, I 94 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:00.800 believe it was yesterday or maybe Wednesday, after the election 95 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.600 results came in. The US election result is a blow 96 00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:16.959 in the fight against the climate crisis. She went on, Lawrence, 97 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.000 I didn't realize that was a female name. I don't 98 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.920 know in these day and age, maybe Lawrence is male 99 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:29.319 but goes by the pronouns she I'm confused on all that. Anyway, 100 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:33.879 the window here we go. The window to limit warming 101 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:38.240 to one point five degrees celsius is closing. These next 102 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.240 four years are critical. How now long have been listening 103 00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:42.879 to that? When did al Gore come out of the 104 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.439 woodwork and start screaming about the climate going up one 105 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:49.160 point five degrees or something like twenty years ago? Wasn't it, 106 00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:53.120 Danny remember Man Bear Pig? Yeah, it was the nineties. 107 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:57.079 Remember the South Park episode Man Bear Pig, I mean, 108 00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:59.959 we're going back forever and he said we're all gonna die, 109 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:06.480 I like in the next fifteen minutes. So they're still 110 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:19.160 added again. Anyway, I know that was predicated on my 111 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.959 comment about Steve Gorham joining the program. Steve is informative 112 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.639 and engaging speaker, delivering compelling and provocative programs the business, 113 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.399 universities and diverse organizations. I'm just reading from the list 114 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:34.759 on the Empower You America? So can we effectively transition 115 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:38.959 to one renewable energy rhetorical question which is the springboard 116 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.759 for the Empower You seven are taking place on Tuesday 117 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.639 beginning at seven pm. Do you think when solar batteries 118 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:48.480 can replace the hydrocarbon fuels the power our modern industrial society? 119 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:50.519 My short answer is sure as hell. 120 00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:50.639 No. 121 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.319 It is a virtual class only, so you can register 122 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.720 at empower Youoamerica dot org. Just click on the little 123 00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:04.319 link there to register virtually. Again, sorry for the lack 124 00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:07.120 of parent enthusiasm this morning. I'm really just trying to 125 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:11.439 prevent my just just entering into a massive coughing fit 126 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.639 on a Friday. But a very happy Friday to everyone. Nonetheless, 127 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:17.920 it's a great day because well for no other reason, 128 00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:20.839 it is Friday. Let's see here over fifty five care 129 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:23.480 Sea dot Commin Edition to your iHeartMedia app. We have 130 00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.839 my conversation with Steve Goodin yesterday. If you have any 131 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.360 questions about the litigation that's ongoing with Trump. He's got 132 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.879 state actions against him, thirty four felony convictions. Yeah, I know, 133 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:37.720 I know, I know, I know, and nobody else on 134 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:39.840 the planet would have ever been subjected to that. They 135 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:44.559 created that sort of mechanism to go after Trump whole cloth, 136 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:50.480 and likely we'll be thrown out on appeal. But we 137 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.960 talked about that, we talked about the federal cases against 138 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.399 Trump as well, and all the answers from Steve Gooden 139 00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:58.919 from Porter right are right there on the podcast page 140 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:02.679 fifty five care Sea Dot Alex Chantefilo joined the program 141 00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:09.000 to give us do an election recap, and you can 142 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.759 get it right there with I've curiously that Tom, let 143 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:19.600 us see here, everybody's going crazy, and you know, really 144 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:23.159 kind of I just sort of wonder people it's ready 145 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:26.159 fire aim in connection with the reaction to Trump winning. 146 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.080 And I could go all over the place with this, 147 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:36.759 but let's start with the Hispanic community. And I don't 148 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:40.320 watch the View. The only thing I really know about 149 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:42.360 the View is other than it is a bunch of 150 00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.879 very left wing women sitting around a table just in 151 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.519 hysterics about you know, conservative ideology and now of course 152 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:56.440 Donald Trump being president elect. But earlier in the week, 153 00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:58.919 on Wednesday, it was on the View one of the hosts, 154 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:06.679 person named Sonny Hoston, talking about Latino men and their 155 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:11.600 support of Trump, which really was pretty substantial. Hispanic majority 156 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.039 counties went for Trump by ten percentage points according to 157 00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:17.480 the breakdown by the New York Times. So you have 158 00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:19.399 a whole lot of Hispanic men who are on the 159 00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:21.679 Trump side of the ledger, and I think that's for 160 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:24.720 cultural reasons. You know, we're trying to tell people that 161 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:27.080 your daughters should have to look at some naked guy 162 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.360 in the bathroom. I don't think that really cottons well 163 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:33.200 with the Hispanic community, many of whom are quite religious. 164 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:36.279 But that's just my own gas on that. But the 165 00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:39.960 point is the numbers reflect that the Hispanic community leaned 166 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.799 over toward and embraced Trump, which flies in the face 167 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.879 of the narrative that all of the illegal immigrants or 168 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:49.200 Hispanic folks who ended up around the country are going 169 00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:52.720 to be end up being a Democrat voters. But along 170 00:10:52.759 --> 00:11:01.559 those lines, she suggested Latino men supported Trump to deport themselves, 171 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:07.399 as if they weren't thinking about their own best interest. 172 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.919 And what conclusion does one draw about Sunny Houston and 173 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:17.519 her perception of Hispanic men exactly that she believes them 174 00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:27.879 to be all illegal immigrants. How insulting is that that's her? 175 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.159 I mean, you can't make a statement about that like 176 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:34.120 that unless you perceive every Hispanic person you walk by 177 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:37.559 as someone who is in the country illegally. Lots of 178 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:40.000 Hispanic people have been in this country, lot of Hispanic 179 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:43.840 people born here. You know, their heritage and their race 180 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.559 cannot be denied, But the fact that they are legal 181 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.759 or obtained legal citizenship cannot be denied either, and there 182 00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:53.759 is a massive swath of the population that falls right 183 00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:58.039 into that category. They yes, voted for Trump. If they 184 00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:02.960 were here illegally, Sonny, they wouldn't have been eligible to 185 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.159 vote in a federal election for the president of the 186 00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:09.080 United States of America. So you are directing your comments 187 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:14.799 in an extraordinarily insulting way at a giant chunk of Americans, 188 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:19.679 white women out there my listening audience that voted for Trump. Apparently, 189 00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:27.600 in her words, specifically, you are uneducated. And I cite 190 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:32.320 these examples of this one example because they're a multitude 191 00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:39.279 of them. And I listen to the comments from gut 192 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.720 Field when I come in the morning, because they rerun 193 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.960 the late night program and he's always making fun of 194 00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:50.440 the view and the hosts on there, and it's kind 195 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:53.960 of funny. But he was spreading his commentary or talking 196 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:57.279 about all of the late night hosts and how they're 197 00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:59.639 just pulling their hair outs, like Jimmy Kimmel, you know, 198 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:04.399 remember former host of The Man Show. He's gone all woke, 199 00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:06.960 left wing. You think he was the you know, the 200 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:10.480 modern woman's best friend and shared their ideology. He's pulling 201 00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:18.240 his hair out, He's crying but while doing so. And 202 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:20.320 this is the part that just blows my mind. It's 203 00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.519 almost like Budweiser, you know, getting the transgender person to 204 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:27.639 talk about how awesome bud Light is failing to appreciate 205 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:31.159 who their core audience is. Jimmy Kimmel, I imagine has 206 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:35.799 some conservative individuals in the audience, or at least some 207 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:40.120 people who chose the economy over whatever Kamala Harris was 208 00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:44.919 trying to sell. But he is literally being insulting to 209 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:48.399 the vast majority of Americans who voted in the election. 210 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.799 Trump won the popular vote by about five million people. 211 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:56.840 Everybody who turned out to vote in the election, you know, 212 00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:03.799 more than half of them voted Trump. The Senate is 213 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:08.080 now controlled by Republicans, and I know it hasn't yet 214 00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:10.399 been called, which really kind of concerns me. If you're 215 00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:14.320 worried about voter shenanigans and election interference or anything like that, 216 00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:16.919 you might pay attention to the House race. But House 217 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:19.519 looks like it's going to go Republican too. And here's 218 00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:24.919 a person who's life, whose income, whose livelihood depends upon ratings, 219 00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:30.159 and it depends upon sponsorships. And he's not the only 220 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:33.000 one that is citiment. As an example, It's like Sunny 221 00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:36.080 host and who rever the heuse? She is making these 222 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:41.799 broad brushes just unbelievably insulting statements. I mean, I just 223 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:44.799 don't understand the echo chamber that they must live in 224 00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:50.279 that makes them think and believe, in spite of the 225 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:53.679 positions that they are in on air and being in 226 00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:57.080 the public view and relying on ratings and advertising revenue, 227 00:14:57.399 --> 00:15:00.919 that they would utter these statements. I know they were 228 00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:03.840 proudly supporting Harrison the lead up, but I don't think 229 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:07.080 this is the way you respond when your person lost 230 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.519 in your arguments, Well fell on deaf ears here in America, 231 00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:15.320 who well are facing grocery bills and gasoline charges and 232 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.240 that kind of thing. It's five nineteen right now, fifty 233 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.120 five Detalk station. Mark is on the phone. I appreciate 234 00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.080 any phone calls, most notably today when I have a 235 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:27.960 difficult time talking without coughing. Stick around right here at 236 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:29.600 fifty five car Se Detalk station. 237 00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:30.320 I'm Donald J. 238 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:32.639 Trump. Can I improve this message? 239 00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.440 Well, that's a welcome refreshing change from the Kamala Harris message. 240 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.639 Thank you Danny Gleason covering for me wherever the hell. 241 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:53.919 Joe's Trekker is Joe's treker. Let me a little refreshing 242 00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:57.600 wake up shout from Lemmy. Let's get to Mark as promised. Mark, 243 00:15:57.600 --> 00:15:59.559 thank you so much for holding over the phone break 244 00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:00.600 there while from the show. 245 00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:04.399 Don't worries. Good morning, Brian. We had got the best 246 00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:07.879 bumper music. Anybody plays pool at five o'clock in the 247 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:09.000 morning can't be all bad. 248 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:12.120 Mark, thank you very much. I am proud of that song, 249 00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:14.240 inspite of the fact that we can't play more than 250 00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:16.879 a couple of seconds of it because all the curse words. 251 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:19.200 I always encourage people to just read it. You know, 252 00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:21.039 I'm warning you ahead of time. There's a lot of 253 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.919 f bombs in there. But the message in that song 254 00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:28.600 is all about everything I stand for. I love that 255 00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:32.759 song andema ae n I am a a yes, go 256 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:33.519 ahead and look it up. 257 00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:38.720 So anyway, what I was calling about yesterday I called 258 00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:42.240 in after will and and my original point was for 259 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:44.399 Colin was I was most. 260 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:45.200 Touch on day. 261 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:49.159 But back to him from yesterday, I hope that he 262 00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:52.799 really sits back and reflects. I thought a lot about 263 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:57.799 his rant yesterday morning, and I think if he took 264 00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:01.080 the breath and realized that and so is aren't the devil, 265 00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:04.839 and that the party does have the best interest of 266 00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:06.960 people at heart, and it's not going to be the 267 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.400 end of the world. And let's face it, Joe Biden 268 00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:13.960 has always been an idiot, but he's also a corrupt idiot. 269 00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:18.400 And then they put Amala Harris in there, and let's 270 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:20.480 face it, she does not have a skill set to 271 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:24.960 be vice president, let alone president. So I just hope 272 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:29.960 that he took a breath yesterday and realizes that everything's 273 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.119 going to be okay. Yeah, we've weathered presidents that we 274 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:37.039 don't particularly care for, but based on their personality. I 275 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:40.200 mean again, I could spend two hours talking about the 276 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:44.000 various presidents that have been in my eyes that were 277 00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:49.039 absolute disasters. But my point today for calling was the 278 00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:52.839 reaction of the left. It's like there, they haven't learned anything. 279 00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:55.920 And it's like you're at a poker table and you've 280 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:59.599 just lost everything that you have in your bank accounts 281 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:03.519 and and you're you just cannot get the message that 282 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:06.000 you maybe you should walk away from the table and 283 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:08.079 you throw the deed at your house up on the 284 00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:11.480 table and you're gonna win this time. And the reactions 285 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:15.640 from you know, the the scholars of Whoope Goldberg and 286 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:20.960 Sonny Houston and and you know these people that the 287 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:24.799 Tisia James. I saw a video of her reacting to 288 00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:29.759 Trump being elected, and she is just eat up with 289 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:34.839 anger and is vowing to somehow put Donald Trump in jail. 290 00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:38.839 And it's like, you guys have not learned anything. And 291 00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:44.079 the media is right there lockstep that I saw an 292 00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:48.759 MSN on MSN homepage yesterday of a news story interest 293 00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:53.839 rates and inflation will rise under the Donald Trump administration. 294 00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:59.640 I mean that was yesterday, so they're already starting. And 295 00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:03.920 so I hope that Donald Trump and his administration right 296 00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:10.200 off the jump does things that make a huge difference, 297 00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:16.359 like you said, cutting the spending in Washington and just 298 00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:19.759 getting things done to prove once and for all that 299 00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:24.720 the Democrat model is a socialist model. It's not it's 300 00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:27.960 not capitalism. They say they run as moderate as when 301 00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:31.160 it's election time, but once they get in, you know, 302 00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:37.000 it's it's the opposite, and it's just the socialist model. 303 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:39.559 We've got to defeat it otherwise it's going to be 304 00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:42.240 every four years or when they do get in power, 305 00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:45.079 we're going to be faced with the same challenges until 306 00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.440 they finally get their way and wear everybody down, or 307 00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:52.319 you know, get a hold of the election process. And 308 00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:56.880 I mean, this was a very consequential election. I believe 309 00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:02.920 in the fact that it stopped this This agenda hasn't 310 00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:05.079 stopped it, but it's slowed it down and now it 311 00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:06.440 needs to be stomped out. 312 00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:09.759 Yes, I agree with a lot of what you said, 313 00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:14.279 just just bear in mind. And I have always acknowledged 314 00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:17.880 and was during the Trump administration and during the last 315 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:21.119 several years of Joe Biden always pointing out that, you 316 00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:24.759 know what, I want a Republican to be a fiscal hawk, 317 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:27.160 a deficit hawk. I want someone who's going to be 318 00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:30.519 cutting spending. Donald Trump wasn't that way in his first term. 319 00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:35.000 And we are on an unsustainable trajectory, whether your values 320 00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:38.599 are conservative or liberal, if the government continues to outspend 321 00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:41.039 what it takes in, we are going to continue to 322 00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:43.319 have debt service that is going to become to the 323 00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:47.319 point where it's just an insurmountable challenge. Default on the 324 00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:50.599 national debt. You know what that would do to our country. 325 00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:53.799 I mean, you're talking about a true existential threat. And 326 00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:56.640 some people, I mean everyone in federal government, top to 327 00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.279 bottom should wake up to that blank in reality, we 328 00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:04.839 can't continue this path. I appreciate the call, Mark, I 329 00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:07.559 really do, and yeah, I mean I honestly feel the 330 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:09.960 same way about Well. I reeled about that over yesterday 331 00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:12.240 because you know, I always liked his calls. He offered 332 00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:15.799 a Democrat perspective, but also was willing to engage in 333 00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:18.920 a discussion and so obviously quite angry at the outcome 334 00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:21.440 of the election. He's not alone, it's We're surrounded by 335 00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:23.759 folks that are feeling that way. And you know, we've 336 00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:26.839 all felt bad after elections. We always managed to survive, 337 00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:30.000 and that's one thing the Republic has been proven for 338 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.359 two hundred and fifty years, you know, from Wilson administration 339 00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:37.559 to Reagan and everything else in between. Good ones, bad ones, 340 00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:44.359 corrupt ones. We managed to move forward as a society. Now. 341 00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:47.160 The world has always worked. It's five twenty eight right now, 342 00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:49.519 Local stories or phone calls. I prefer the latter, But 343 00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:52.599 get to local stories too.

My heart just went out the wheel yesterday. 390 00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:38.960 I was praying for him because the anger he had. 391 00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:43.039 I went through that with what was going on with 392 00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:48.319 this country and the anything. I can say to people 393 00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:52.279 that I don't watch TV a whole lot anymore because 394 00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:56.079 I just can't listen to what the garbage. I mean 395 00:24:56.119 --> 00:25:00.480 now I found out I'm uneducated, yes, but I think 396 00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:04.400 what kind of turned me from being a Democrat over 397 00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:09.559 towards voting for some of the Republicans except the Rhinos. 398 00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:15.039 It's I mean, Brian, when you hear people tell tell 399 00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:17.279 you that you've got to change the way you talk, 400 00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:19.960 the way you think, we got to move to a 401 00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:24.680 different place, or another one saying we got to transform 402 00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:28.240 this country, I tell you, I think the men in 403 00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:33.599 this country are coming back because the way Trump got 404 00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:36.680 the votes. But all I can say is if you 405 00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:40.200 don't know how to pray, talk to God, talk to Mary, 406 00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:43.599 and pray for the children, because there's a lot of 407 00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:46.880 children they don't talk about on the news that are missing. 408 00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:51.119 But anyway, Brian, I pray for everybody, and I pray 409 00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:54.440 for you and hope everything comes out of pay for you. 410 00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:00.240 But anyway, I think people in this country you're a 411 00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.400 waking up because I've woke up to the fact the 412 00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:07.680 Democrats do not care about money. They like to spend it, 413 00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:12.319 and the republic kittens are trying to stop that. I mean, 414 00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:15.680 you've got to start using your brain because I never 415 00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:19.599 paid two hundred dollars for groceries and I'm buying the 416 00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:24.000 bare minimum. So anyway, Brian, you have a nice day. 417 00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:26.960 Thank you, Pat, And I pray for all of you. 418 00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:29.680 We all appreciate it. We all do. And if you 419 00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:32.279 don't appreciate Pat's prayers, then there's something wrong with you 420 00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:35.640 as far as I'm concerned. You don't believe in prayer. 421 00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:39.519 That's okay. She's offering them to you and with the 422 00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:42.920 hope that you benefit from them. That's the beautiful thing 423 00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:45.480 about people's offer of prayers. And it always bothered me 424 00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:49.119 when something tragic happens and someone says, you know, thoughts 425 00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:51.799 and prayers go out and like, eh, you thoughting prayers 426 00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:54.079 are with jokes Squad, particularly in the area of like 427 00:26:54.200 --> 00:26:59.640 gun violence. Now, they are worth something. Anybody's experiencing a 428 00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:01.759 bad time time in their life, at least when someone 429 00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:03.960 is offering you that. And I've said this before, I'm 430 00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:06.440 just trying to double down on it. It means you 431 00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:10.440 got at least someone who has compassion, concern, caring a 432 00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:14.359 friend in a time of desperation and need. And it 433 00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:16.680 beats the hell out of nothing, and it beats the 434 00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:19.200 hell out of an insult. That's what Chris has got 435 00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:21.480 this morning. Chris, thanks for calling the Morning Show this morning. 436 00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:22.880 Have happy Friday to you. 437 00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:26.200 Peter will I just wanted to call before I go 438 00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:29.920 into work real fast. I was watching Fox News yesterday 439 00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:31.359 and I want to say it was Ari Fleischer. I 440 00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:34.200 can't really remember fully, but he said that he'd like 441 00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:38.119 to see Ramaswami be the press secretary and if that happens, 442 00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:41.319 if that happened, about every time it come on to 443 00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:44.119 see the press conference, that would be very entertaining. 444 00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:47.839 Chris, I had not heard that. Would that's actually the 445 00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:49.119 wouldn't that be awesome? 446 00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:53.160 Probably won't happen, but that's that I heard that, and 447 00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:53.960 I love that. 448 00:27:54.200 --> 00:27:56.680 Oh that's great. Well, you know, you got to laugh 449 00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:58.359 out of you out of Friday morning. But I'm not 450 00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:01.680 even feeling one hundred percent Chris. That's good. It would 451 00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:04.759 be a phenomenal thing. That guy's razor sharp. 452 00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:07.400 Yeah. 453 00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:09.759 I think the reporters would wouldn't want to show up 454 00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:10.640 for those conferences. 455 00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:13.240 No, yeah, I know they would. Well, they'd have to 456 00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:16.759 actually ask articulate questions and be prepared to follow up 457 00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:19.799 with some really difficult follow up questions because he would 458 00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:23.480 answer the questions directly. Chris, thank you man. That was 459 00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:25.519 a good one. I like that. Maybe we'll see more 460 00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:28.359 of that. It's wide open as of right now. In 461 00:28:28.440 --> 00:28:34.640 terms of the the administration, although Trump named Susie Wiles 462 00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:38.559 the first female White House Chief of staff in history, 463 00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:43.160 I'm not familiar with this woman apparently, though she has been, 464 00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:47.440 you know, behind the scenes, a real powerhouse in terms 465 00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:51.480 of you know, campaigning and all that. So first one 466 00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:55.799 out of the gate chief of staff, Susie Wiles, first woman, 467 00:28:56.519 --> 00:28:59.440 and so much for the Republicans being anti women. I 468 00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:09.559 suppose you could make that argument five point fifty one 469 00:29:09.720 --> 00:29:11.599 coming up with five fifty two at the five Kereseitton 470 00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:15.119 talk station, moving before I get I haven't got to 471 00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:16.640 the stack of stupid yet, because you know I love 472 00:29:16.640 --> 00:29:18.400 to talk to you, and Dick's on the phone, so 473 00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:20.160 let's talk to Dick. Dick, welcome to the show. In 474 00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:21.279 a happy Friday to you. 475 00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:22.680 Hey, good morning. 476 00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:23.079 Hey. 477 00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:25.799 I live over here in Kentucky, and you know Tom 478 00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:28.960 Massey's my rep. And you mentioned something about going to 479 00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:33.720 agricult agriculture secretary. But I think you and I can 480 00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:39.119 both agree. Tom Massey's a big picture guy. And I 481 00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:42.279 think McConnell is going to retire. And I guarantee you, 482 00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:46.119 I guarantee you a four way onion. I'll buy you one, 483 00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:48.640 because I know Adye Basheer is going to run for 484 00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:54.160 the Senator in twenty six. The guy's power mad. You 485 00:29:54.200 --> 00:29:55.759 didn't have to live with them. You had to deal 486 00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:59.119 with Mike de Wine during that whole pandemic thing. But 487 00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:01.279 we are here at he could tell you, almost to 488 00:30:01.400 --> 00:30:05.160 a man, what a petty tyrant the guy is or 489 00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:08.720 was at that time. So I just believe he's going 490 00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:11.039 to run for the center because he just everything, everything 491 00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:12.880 comes out of his mouth as I want more power. 492 00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:13.920 Yeah, so. 493 00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:17.759 Andy Basheer needs to I mean, he needs to be 494 00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:20.799 put down and stayed down by Tom Massey as Senator 495 00:30:20.839 --> 00:30:23.519 for the state, because I can see, Man, what a 496 00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:27.559 pair Rand Paul and Tom Massey as our senators hopefully 497 00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:28.920 caw listen. 498 00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:31.119 I'll tell you what, Dick, You're right. And I know 499 00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:35.519 by taking Tom I suggested Secretary Agriculture and by putting 500 00:30:35.559 --> 00:30:37.680 him in that role, as awesome as he would be 501 00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.359 in that role, he's no longer a representative for the 502 00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:44.119 state of Kentucky. And you're right, I think, well, as 503 00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:47.279 long as Thomas Massey is in some elected capacity, in 504 00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:51.279 some position of power, the more power for Thomas Massey, 505 00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:54.599 the better for America. Dick. Then I'll take it so 506 00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:58.759 and thank you, Dick, and everybody else in Kentucky who 507 00:30:58.799 --> 00:31:03.519 is responsible for Thomas Massey being around. God bless all 508 00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:03.799 of you. 509 00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:06.359 Well, I can tell you I didn't vote for him 510 00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:08.799 this time, and only because he was running on a post. 511 00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:12.440 But that's that's the old that's the old. 512 00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:15.119 Thing I learned from my dad was if they run unopposed, 513 00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:16.599 you only need one vote. 514 00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:19.119 You know, it saves you. It saves you having to 515 00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:20.279 fill in the little box. 516 00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:23.000 Yes, saved save that, you know, an eighth of a 517 00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:23.680 gram of ink. 518 00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:25.880 This is not a win right out of the gate. 519 00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:27.119 I mean, I know it's a win right out of 520 00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:29.519 the gate, but it's an acknowledgment by the folks in 521 00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:36.839 the area that nobody can beat Thomas Vassey. Keep them coming, Dick, 522 00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:38.880 you got more over there. Come on, let's get him 523 00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:43.160 in office. Have a great weekend, man. I appreciate the call. 524 00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:46.279 I can get me one stack of stupid story in here, 525 00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:47.759 so let's go with the one that's on the top. 526 00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:52.640 A drunk, naked, feces covered British man crashed to the 527 00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:55.359 ceiling of an internet cafe in what is called a 528 00:31:55.400 --> 00:32:01.279 notoriously cedy holiday destination. UH apparently understood that the fifty 529 00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:04.720 one year old tourists plunged through his hotel balcony, even 530 00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:08.480 found dangling above the busy cafe in Thailand. Hotel staff 531 00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:11.240 said the British man could be heard making loud groans 532 00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:16.720 and banging around his room before hearing the humongous bang. 533 00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:19.839 Moments later, the man's legs were dangling above his shocked 534 00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:23.119 cafe goers as he cried for help. At least in 535 00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:26.519 Paramedics attended to the scene quickly found the guy in 536 00:32:26.559 --> 00:32:31.039 a dazed state trapped between wooden boards. No witnesses saw 537 00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:34.359 him plummet through the roof, but his crash landing forced 538 00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:38.440 the folks there to flee due to the stench. One 539 00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:41.039 customer said quote at the time, the shop was full 540 00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:43.279 of people, more than twenty people. I was sitting playing 541 00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:46.359 games downstairs, and after a while I heard the first thump. 542 00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:49.119 I didn't think much of it. After a while, there 543 00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:51.960 was another thump. The ceiling started to break more and 544 00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:55.400 then there were legs coming down right on my head. 545 00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:57.200 So I called the staff to come and look. And 546 00:32:57.279 --> 00:32:59.960 after a while he said it seemed like the ceiling 547 00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:04.559 started to sink. Those very shocks, so I ran up 548 00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:08.160 to look. I smelled it, but I thought it was 549 00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:12.359 a broken water pipe or something. Cops later checked on 550 00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:19.000 the British Man's room, where horrified to allegedly find feces 551 00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:23.559 smeared across the floor, the bed, the sheets and the blankets. 552 00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:25.960 Police say they were suspicious around what the man was 553 00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:30.880 doing as he plummeted through the balcony. Police Lieutenant there 554 00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:36.160 Tanawe Yarn guests see said the tourist had minor injuries, 555 00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:38.759 but he will be discharged from the hospital to have 556 00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:43.039 time to rest and become sober. Excuse me, we have 557 00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:45.200 some ideas about what he was doing in the room 558 00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:49.400 to make it so dirty, but there was nothing illegal. 559 00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:53.119 Man taken to the hospital for a checkup and to 560 00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:55.039 sober up in a safe environment. 561 00:33:55.920 --> 00:33:56.240 Wow. 562 00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:01.519 Five fifty sixty five care see de talk station.

We'll have time to talk 568 00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:17.599 between now and then. I hope you can stick around. 569 00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:21.719 It's six oh five on a Friday. In a happy one, 570 00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:25.280 say Brian Thomas, wishing everyone happy Friday. We've got some 571 00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:28.679 great plans going on this weekend, and I hope you 572 00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:31.400 feel phil like Colin call me on five one three, seven, four, 573 00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:33.599 nine fifty five eight hundred eight two to three talk 574 00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:36.280 not to be a dead horse. You've been listening since five, 575 00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:38.360 you know. And I just want to qualify this for 576 00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:42.159 folks who are just tuning and struggling with really deep 577 00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:47.400 kind of heavy heavy inside cough, so I apologize. I'm 578 00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:50.639 doing my best not to interrupt the conversation with having 579 00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:53.719 to hit the cough button. But if you hear some silence, 580 00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:55.760 you'll know exactly what's going on in my world, which 581 00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:58.039 again is why I'm looking for a little additional support 582 00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:02.159 this morning. So far as conversation is concern, but managed 583 00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:04.119 to get through one hour, and I hope it'd be 584 00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:06.440 able to make it through the balance. I'm not overly 585 00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:08.960 concerned as long as you can deal with a couple 586 00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:11.440 of hiccups here and there. Tech Friday with Dave Hatter 587 00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:13.000 coming up to the bottom of the hour, we're gonna 588 00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:14.760 be talking. This is I can't wait to hear about 589 00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:18.679 these smart TVs. He says they're spying on you, and 590 00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:20.840 I've known that, and I haven't bought a TV in 591 00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:22.760 a long time. And one of the reasons is, you know, 592 00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:26.800 first off, I don't really need a TV. The other 593 00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:28.760 one is I think they're all smart now, so I'm 594 00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:31.039 gonna find out are there anything other than smart TVs 595 00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:34.519 available out there? Because I don't really appreciate the idea 596 00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:38.119 of be inspired upon. Also, data brokers are tracking your 597 00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:42.199 phone and on the heels of that racist text messages 598 00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:44.840 that went a message that went out over the entire country, 599 00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:48.760 all over the place, New York, Alabama, California, here in 600 00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:53.360 Ohio is locally reported Pennsylvania, Tennessee. It's just just a 601 00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:57.119 disgusting text and they claim it came from well, the 602 00:35:57.159 --> 00:36:01.039 text itself suggests it came from Trump or Maga. And 603 00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:04.320 if you believe that I got a bridge and actually 604 00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:06.440 a couple of bridges and a planet or two, I 605 00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:10.639 want to sell you. And given that I've got another 606 00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:13.039 article on run by Dave Hatter as well, the United 607 00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:21.880 States Agency Federal Agency issued a directive to employees generally 608 00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:26.400 to reduce the use of cell phones for work matters 609 00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:30.719 because of China's recent hack of the United States telecommunications infrastructure. 610 00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:35.079 So Chief Information off of the Consumer Financial Protection Beer 611 00:36:35.159 --> 00:36:38.400 warned that internal and external work related meetings and conversations 612 00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:42.719 involving non public data should only be held on certain 613 00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:47.880 platforms like Microsoft Teams and Cisco's WebEx, but not on 614 00:36:48.199 --> 00:36:51.679 work issued personal phones. Dave Hatter has warned us a 615 00:36:51.880 --> 00:36:55.559 number of times about the fact that your data is 616 00:36:55.639 --> 00:36:57.800 being stolen. That if you've got a bunch of apps 617 00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:01.440 on your phone like TikTok. They've gathered up literally everything 618 00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:04.079 on your phone, all your text back and forth, what 619 00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:07.280 you you know, your contact information. They know everything there 620 00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:08.880 is to know about you. And if they want to 621 00:37:08.920 --> 00:37:13.519 send out a pot stirring, evil text to further divide America, 622 00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:15.360 that's going to be in their best interest, like it 623 00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:17.519 is for the Iranians and the Russians and anybody else 624 00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:22.199 who hates us, They're going to do it. So you know, yeah, 625 00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:24.639 you got a text. It was offensive, it was racist, 626 00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:27.039 It never should have happened. But in the world in 627 00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:30.320 which we find ourselves, I mean, let's be logical and 628 00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:33.559 reasonable about that. And does anyone really in the right 629 00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:38.440 mind think that a true, really true Trump supporter or 630 00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:40.719 Maga folks would want to send something like that to 631 00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:44.119 further divide our country. If that is indeed the case, 632 00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:47.719 and that guy's out there or these people are out there, now, 633 00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:50.119 there's a special place in hell that's been reserved for them. 634 00:37:50.159 --> 00:37:52.599 Beelzebelb's got a devil put aside for the whole lot 635 00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:55.920 of them. So that's uh, I just want to get 636 00:37:55.960 --> 00:37:57.719 that out of my system, because you know, we are 637 00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:01.280 in little rather tense times right now. So don't buy 638 00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:04.280 into the narrative that this has anything to do with well, 639 00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:08.280 more conservative minded folks who went with Trump, probably because 640 00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:10.159 they're grocery bill is through the roof and they're a 641 00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:12.400 little concerned about the security here in the United States 642 00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:15.360 of America given the open borders. Before I move on, 643 00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:17.760 let's see what Jeff's got this morning. Jeff, thanks for colling, 644 00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:18.840 and welcome to the Morning Show. 645 00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:21.800 Good morning, Brian, hope you get better. 646 00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:22.800 Thank you, I appreciate it. 647 00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:27.920 Hey, Hey, On November thirteenth, Mitch McConnell was pushing through 648 00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:33.280 this secret ballot vote for the new Senate GOP leadership. 649 00:38:33.960 --> 00:38:40.760 It actually bi lates GOP bylaws, and the two people 650 00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:44.519 at the top of the list are Senator Johnson and 651 00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:53.159 Senator John Cornying, two never Trumpers. Tim Scott, I guess 652 00:38:53.199 --> 00:38:56.639 from Florida. He's in the Runnie. I think it's really 653 00:38:56.679 --> 00:39:03.119 important to have a solid Senator GOP later from the 654 00:39:03.199 --> 00:39:06.159 get go, so they don't do the same thing they 655 00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:11.039 did in twenty sixteen and block Trump's agenda. 656 00:39:11.079 --> 00:39:12.960 What do you think, Well, I agree with it with 657 00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:14.920 the latter part. But Jeff, let me ask you this, 658 00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:17.199 what day did you say they're supposed to vote on this. 659 00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:20.639 I'm not familiar with the legislation, and I apologize them, 660 00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:25.360 but they're doing this before the new Senate gets sworn in. 661 00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:31.599 Yeah, violates goot bylaws. They're doing it November thirteenth. Mitch 662 00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:36.239 McConnell is pushing it through. And it's supposed to be 663 00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:41.039 done in January when all the new Senators take their seats, 664 00:39:41.719 --> 00:39:44.760 but for some reason, Mitch McConnell is pushing this through 665 00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:46.199 on November thirteenth. 666 00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:48.880 Okay, Well, that in and of itself is a massive 667 00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:52.360 red flag. And I have no idea what is in that. 668 00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:54.840 But the idea that you're going to vote on something 669 00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:57.199 like that before the new Senate gets sworn in, where 670 00:39:57.239 --> 00:40:01.280 there will be a majority Republican Republican balance in the 671 00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:04.960 Senate seems really fishy, my friend. So I'm gonna have 672 00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:07.159 to look further into that. And you know that the 673 00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:11.679 Republicans may Yeah, and the Republicans, remember the Republicans made 674 00:40:11.679 --> 00:40:13.480 the argument that no, we're not going to vote in 675 00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:16.920 a new Supreme Court when we've got a new Congress 676 00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:20.599 being elected, and we right, Okay, same argument applies right now. 677 00:40:21.239 --> 00:40:22.360 I don't know what that goes to. 678 00:40:24.280 --> 00:40:28.159 Soon got on TV the other day and he told, uh, 679 00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:32.880 the interviewer, Trump needs to keep his Basically, Trump needs 680 00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:34.960 to keep his nose out of it, which is you 681 00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:39.480 know the way they they do. You know, he's supposed 682 00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:42.119 to keep his nose out of it. But Soon saying 683 00:40:42.280 --> 00:40:48.159 tell him Trump, you know, don't get involved, it burns. Yeah, 684 00:40:48.199 --> 00:40:50.039 it brings up some red flags for sure. 685 00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:55.039 Well, you know what my perception to Trump is, if 686 00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:58.199 you tell him don't get involved, then the first thing 687 00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:03.039 he's probably gonna do is get in evolved. So I came, 688 00:41:03.239 --> 00:41:05.280 I'll look into that and I'll keep my popcorn out 689 00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:08.440 on that one. But yeah, that sounds like just on 690 00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:11.000 its face and again not knowing what the substance of 691 00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:13.320 this vote is. If it has a profound impact on 692 00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:17.159 the next Senate, Uh, then I'm going to call Shenanigan's 693 00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:20.280 declaration on it right away and yeah for. 694 00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:23.679 The next GOP later. Yeah, it's just. 695 00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:28.320 Uh, well, hey it's Mitch McConnell. Does this Does it 696 00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:29.360 shock anybody? 697 00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:29.639 You know? 698 00:41:29.880 --> 00:41:32.960 Anyhow? I appreciate the heads up, Jeff. I'll have to 699 00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:35.599 look into it, but it doesn't sound right on it. 700 00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:39.159 Or you're elected officials and say no secret ballot. 701 00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:42.840 No secret ballots. I'm away with that. I like transparency. Hank. 702 00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:45.639 Appreciate the call this morning. Welcome to the morning, showing 703 00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:47.280 a happy Friday to you, sir. 704 00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:49.360 Brian. 705 00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:52.719 I appreciate you taking my call, man, and I enjoyed 706 00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:54.679 meeting the other day, the listening a lot. 707 00:41:55.039 --> 00:41:57.159 Great meeting you, Hank. I'm glad you're able to make it. 708 00:41:57.199 --> 00:42:00.800 That was a very celebratory environment. I really happy that 709 00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:06.039 it was that, rather than sitting at the bar drinking ourselves. 710 00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:12.559 Into stupid hou yeah, into the morning that we that 711 00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:16.800 we're hearing from the the radicals and especially the foolishness 712 00:42:16.840 --> 00:42:19.960 coming out of CNN. But I wanted to call in 713 00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:22.800 this morning, brother and have the out and talk to 714 00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:27.360 my black brothers, especially since, uh, you know, we've called 715 00:42:27.360 --> 00:42:31.119 out so much this election, and now we even got 716 00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:34.639 some black sisters going around talking about how outraged they are, 717 00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:41.119 blaming the black men for this morning that they're in 718 00:42:41.360 --> 00:42:43.840 right now. And I just wanted to talk to my 719 00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:48.119 black brothers who are like myself, who possibly didn't vote 720 00:42:48.119 --> 00:42:50.360 for Trump the first time, but and talk to them 721 00:42:50.400 --> 00:42:53.280 about why we voted this time and let my brothers. Know, listen, 722 00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:56.079 you aint the only one you need, the only one 723 00:42:56.280 --> 00:43:00.559 to the a risk. And now we're sitting back with 724 00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:07.280 arms folded and saying we'll see because here's what's true. 725 00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:11.199 They could not defeat what was going on with the economy. 726 00:43:12.519 --> 00:43:16.519 You can throw out all the lies, claim everybody's racists, 727 00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:19.159 call them Hitler and all that kind of stuff. I 728 00:43:19.440 --> 00:43:23.320 don't care about that, Brian, not like they. 729 00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:23.960 Think I should. 730 00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:27.440 Listen, brother, when I go to the grocery store and 731 00:43:27.519 --> 00:43:30.239 I can't get out of Costco with less than three 732 00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:34.239 hundred dollars and I got a quarter of a grocery basketfull, 733 00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:38.480 I got three teenage boys. Brian, that's unacceptable. We can't 734 00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:42.440 roll like that. I drive for a certain ride share 735 00:43:42.519 --> 00:43:45.760 company early in the morning, and I pick up passengers 736 00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:48.760 from about four in the morning at about nine, and brother, 737 00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:55.239 the cost of gasoline means something to me, okay, And 738 00:43:55.440 --> 00:43:59.440 you can call them the Cheeto dictator from day one, 739 00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:02.679 Hitler and all that kind of stuff. All I know 740 00:44:03.760 --> 00:44:06.760 is that when he was in office, I filled up 741 00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:10.960 for a dollar seventy cent per gallon. I took a 742 00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:14.039 picture of it with my cell phone because I hadn't 743 00:44:14.039 --> 00:44:17.079 seen prices like that since I was in the Navy 744 00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:19.079 in the nineties early nineties. 745 00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:20.320 Right. 746 00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:25.800 Yes, So for all my brothers, listen, there are more 747 00:44:25.840 --> 00:44:28.840 of us than you think. And if some of the 748 00:44:28.880 --> 00:44:30.519 black women want to be mad at us, they'll be 749 00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:33.159 all right. But most of the time, it's us that's 750 00:44:33.199 --> 00:44:35.960 going to the grocery store. And I'm speaking to those 751 00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:41.599 black brothers, y'all keep on voting. Find some other conservative 752 00:44:41.639 --> 00:44:43.960 brothers that you can talk to and talk through these 753 00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:47.000 issues about. Don't believe the lies that these people are 754 00:44:47.000 --> 00:44:51.719 telling us, because America has spoken and we have said, 755 00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:55.920 I believe my wallet more than I believe your lies. 756 00:44:57.320 --> 00:45:02.000 Very very thoughtful analogy. I know there was probably a 757 00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:04.360 bit of a nose holding to do that. I get 758 00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:07.320 that all day long. And believe me, there are a 759 00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:10.119 lot of people that voted for Trump that did hold 760 00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:12.760 their nose to a certain degree for a variety of reasons. 761 00:45:13.079 --> 00:45:15.840 But you're right in the final analysis, you're the one 762 00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:18.239 that went grocery shopping. You're the one that fills your tank, 763 00:45:18.519 --> 00:45:20.559 You're the one that sees where we're going in this 764 00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:23.960 country culturally. Even I think it probably rubs a lot 765 00:45:23.960 --> 00:45:26.440 of folks on even both sides of the ledger a 766 00:45:26.440 --> 00:45:28.920 little bit wrong. I keep going back to guys in 767 00:45:29.000 --> 00:45:32.480 girls' bathrooms and women having to compete against men in sports. 768 00:45:32.800 --> 00:45:36.199 It just seems so bizarre. So you buy, you put 769 00:45:36.199 --> 00:45:38.719 aside the offense that Trump might bring to the table, 770 00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:41.440 and you look at what he is promising to offer, 771 00:45:41.800 --> 00:45:45.039 and you know what, Hank, I'm with you. I hope 772 00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:49.039 he delivers. We know we felt very strongly that Kamala 773 00:45:49.039 --> 00:45:51.639 Harris was not going to deliver on lower prices or 774 00:45:51.639 --> 00:45:54.559 anything like that. So give Trump a shot. It worked 775 00:45:54.599 --> 00:45:56.920 out the first time. We all didn't die, the world 776 00:45:56.920 --> 00:46:01.079 didn't end, the democracy or republic has firm and strong, 777 00:46:01.719 --> 00:46:03.719 and I believe that's still going to be the case 778 00:46:03.719 --> 00:46:05.880 after four years of Trump. But we're all gonna find 779 00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:09.639 out together. But I really appreciate your thoughtful analysis. And 780 00:46:09.719 --> 00:46:13.239 you're reaching out to your fellow black brothers as well 781 00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:16.960 as maybe black sisters who will find the grocery prices 782 00:46:16.960 --> 00:46:19.000 are lowered down the road. And wouldn't that be a 783 00:46:19.039 --> 00:46:22.320 wonderful thing for everybody? God bless you, Hank. Thanks for 784 00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:24.920 calling in this morning. I really appreciate Its six seventeen 785 00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:30.960 right now, fifty five cares to the detalk station six 786 00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:38.239 twenty three fifty five Karsie Detalk Station.

It's been very refreshing 790 00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:52.159 and it does help take the strain off well my 791 00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:54.800 voice and well for me having to cough. So let's 792 00:46:54.800 --> 00:46:56.920 see what Paul's got this morning. Paul, thanks for calling 793 00:46:56.920 --> 00:46:58.679 this morning, and very happy Friday to you, sir. 794 00:46:59.519 --> 00:47:05.039 Hey name right back at you, Brian, and prayers every 795 00:47:05.119 --> 00:47:06.320 day for you. 796 00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:12.239 Hey, I'm five years out from prostate cancer, so there 797 00:47:12.360 --> 00:47:16.480 is a lot of hope and medical improvements and all 798 00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:17.800 this kind of stuff going on. 799 00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:20.679 So I'm hoping only the best for you. 800 00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:24.039 I can't thank you. And you know what I always 801 00:47:24.039 --> 00:47:27.719 have to remind folks, you know, you get cancer diagnosis. 802 00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:30.639 I won the lottery of cancer diagnosis. I have low 803 00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:34.119 spectrum lymphoma. It sucks, it's got side effects, but my 804 00:47:34.199 --> 00:47:37.400 doctors and I'm in good quality care, said Brian, you 805 00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:40.239 probably die with it, not from it, so we just 806 00:47:40.320 --> 00:47:42.280 stay on it. We'll keep your symptoms at Bay and 807 00:47:42.320 --> 00:47:44.320 everything's going to be fine. So my attitude is a 808 00:47:44.519 --> 00:47:47.360 very very positive one. But man, I'm telling you that 809 00:47:47.760 --> 00:47:52.039 it is just so beautiful that when people wish you 810 00:47:52.119 --> 00:47:55.559 well and express concern for you. And that's why I 811 00:47:55.639 --> 00:47:58.480 keep going back to folks who are offering prayers generally speaking, Man, 812 00:47:58.480 --> 00:48:00.880 that is just it's a wonderful thing. It's just. 813 00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:06.079 Ohc people. I mean, they are a godsend. 814 00:48:06.199 --> 00:48:06.800 Yes they are. 815 00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:08.639 I love them. 816 00:48:09.000 --> 00:48:14.199 Getting back to my brother Hank, Yeah, I'm white, but 817 00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:14.960 he's my brother. 818 00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:16.159 I don't care. 819 00:48:17.159 --> 00:48:17.960 That's my viewpoint. 820 00:48:18.719 --> 00:48:25.440 Hey, my family's Democrat. We come from coal miners down 821 00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:31.719 there in Harlan, Kentucky, and my dad and his brother, Grandpa, 822 00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:36.639 all of them were coal miners. Were always voted Democrat, Democrat, 823 00:48:37.119 --> 00:48:41.760 blue and blue. So but in nineteen eighty my dad 824 00:48:42.199 --> 00:48:46.280 he said, son, you know, we need to listen to 825 00:48:46.320 --> 00:48:50.199 this man named Ronald Reagan, and he said he makes 826 00:48:50.400 --> 00:48:56.320 good sense. I know we always Democrat, but I'm going 827 00:48:56.360 --> 00:49:00.320 to vote for him this year. And ever since then, 828 00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:05.280 we yeah, we held our nose. We said, man, this 829 00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:09.960 is strange, this is not right, it doesn't feel good 830 00:49:10.079 --> 00:49:14.119 or whatever, but we went ahead and voted, and sure, enough, 831 00:49:14.159 --> 00:49:16.239 he turned out to be the one of the greatest 832 00:49:16.320 --> 00:49:22.880 presidents in our history. And so to me, when you 833 00:49:23.920 --> 00:49:29.679 size everything up, like Hank was saying, I remember on 834 00:49:29.800 --> 00:49:34.760 election night twenty twenty, when Biden wins, I'm going up 835 00:49:34.840 --> 00:49:38.400 and down the strip on Route four heading into work, 836 00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:42.880 A worked third shift, and every gas station was a 837 00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:47.400 dollar eighty two cents a gallon every gas station. Now, 838 00:49:47.639 --> 00:49:51.599 gas Buddy, if you want to confirm that, just look 839 00:49:51.639 --> 00:49:54.880 on gas Buddy and see what the national average was 840 00:49:57.719 --> 00:50:00.679 the election night twenty twenty. Yeah, and it was a 841 00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:08.079 dollar eighty seven. And during Trump's tenure, my goodness, gas 842 00:50:08.159 --> 00:50:14.440 was always under two dollars, and so ever since, and 843 00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:18.639 then from that night, from a buck eighty two. On 844 00:50:18.760 --> 00:50:22.800 January twentieth, when Biden took office, it was two thirty two. 845 00:50:23.079 --> 00:50:25.840 So it went up fifty cents and it's been going 846 00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:30.320 up ever since. And so who has control of you know, 847 00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:34.079 who's really looking at for my wallet? And if I've 848 00:50:34.119 --> 00:50:36.920 had to pay an extra dollar or two or three 849 00:50:38.159 --> 00:50:41.559 for every gallon of gas I've had to buy for 850 00:50:41.679 --> 00:50:46.079 four years, how is that good for my family? It's not. 851 00:50:46.519 --> 00:50:51.519 It is not you brothers, my black brothers, and sisters, 852 00:50:51.599 --> 00:50:58.920 please please start thinking with your wallet and you've got 853 00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:02.639 to get off this demo crat plantation. Please get off 854 00:51:02.679 --> 00:51:04.239 of that Democrat plan taste. 855 00:51:04.880 --> 00:51:07.639 I love you all, Love you to Paul, God bless 856 00:51:07.679 --> 00:51:09.400 you and thank you so much for the well wishes 857 00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:12.360 and sound words of wisdom.

Apologies, congratulations on being the Kentucky elected official 866 00:51:40.239 --> 00:51:42.679 of the year. Just saw that notice you are the man. 867 00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:46.679 Oh thanks, Let's, without further ado dive into if you 868 00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:49.599 don't mind jumping right into smart TVs which are spying 869 00:51:49.639 --> 00:51:50.239 on us. 870 00:51:50.719 --> 00:51:53.639 Yeah, I have a little voice problem myself this morning. Okay, 871 00:51:54.199 --> 00:51:57.800 so we can we can commiserate with each other. Go now. 872 00:51:58.000 --> 00:52:00.000 I guess my first question for you when you listening 873 00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:02.440 would be, is anyone surprised to know that you're smart 874 00:52:02.440 --> 00:52:03.719 TV is spying. 875 00:52:03.400 --> 00:52:05.320 On not anymore. I just want to know are their 876 00:52:05.360 --> 00:52:07.239 options to smart TVs if I want to buy a 877 00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:09.400 new TV, are they all smart? Or can you avoid 878 00:52:09.440 --> 00:52:10.079 this crap? 879 00:52:10.960 --> 00:52:14.199 Well, it's really hard to avoid it. I'm not aware 880 00:52:14.239 --> 00:52:17.039 of any manufacturer that makes TVs that don't at least 881 00:52:17.039 --> 00:52:20.039 have this capability. But here here's the problem with it. 882 00:52:20.079 --> 00:52:21.400 And then I'll tell you what you can do to 883 00:52:21.400 --> 00:52:25.239 try to limit your exposure because at this point, again, 884 00:52:25.360 --> 00:52:27.599 I'm not aware of any manufacturer that makes a TV 885 00:52:27.760 --> 00:52:31.159 that isn't smart quote unquote, and you know, people can't 886 00:52:31.159 --> 00:52:33.880 see my fingers doing the air quote as we say this. 887 00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:39.880 You know all of these sort of IoT devices because 888 00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:43.079 these things, you know, they have a perverse incentive versus 889 00:52:43.119 --> 00:52:45.559 your incentive is someone that might care about your privacy 890 00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:49.039 and security. These things are often, if not normally, made 891 00:52:49.039 --> 00:52:52.440 in China. Their goal is speed to market, market share, 892 00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:55.880 and ease of use. And anytime you're focused on ease 893 00:52:55.920 --> 00:52:58.840 of use, you're almost always at the expense of privacy 894 00:52:58.840 --> 00:53:03.079 and security. So again, whether it's something like an ring 895 00:53:03.079 --> 00:53:06.039 doorbell or a smart TV or whatever, the smart TVs, 896 00:53:06.079 --> 00:53:09.199 I think they are particularly insidious in how they work. 897 00:53:09.320 --> 00:53:11.519 If you have concerns about this. Now, I'm not saying 898 00:53:11.519 --> 00:53:14.960 that everything this does is some sort of evil plot, 899 00:53:15.079 --> 00:53:17.079 but I think it's like so many of these other 900 00:53:17.159 --> 00:53:19.760 smart devices, they play off the fact that people don't 901 00:53:19.760 --> 00:53:23.159 really understand how any of this works. They don't understand 902 00:53:23.239 --> 00:53:26.239 how much surveillance can be done on them, and you know, 903 00:53:26.280 --> 00:53:28.519 they don't really go into it with informed consent. As 904 00:53:28.559 --> 00:53:30.880 I've said to you many times over the last ten years, 905 00:53:31.000 --> 00:53:34.320 if you understand what you're signing up for when you 906 00:53:34.400 --> 00:53:37.519 use these things, and you understand the potential risks, and 907 00:53:37.559 --> 00:53:39.559 you choose to move forward, well that's on you. You're 908 00:53:39.559 --> 00:53:42.480 an adult. Do what you want, right, But I don't 909 00:53:42.480 --> 00:53:46.519 think most people really get again, just how invasive this 910 00:53:46.679 --> 00:53:48.760 kind of surveillance can be. Now most of these new 911 00:53:48.800 --> 00:53:52.599 smart TVs, probably all of them, and you may see 912 00:53:52.599 --> 00:53:55.679 the term CTV for connected TV. That's sort of another 913 00:53:55.800 --> 00:53:59.599 term you might find if you look into this. You know, 914 00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:02.679 they have microphones so you can talk to them. So 915 00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:05.400 there's a potential problem. The thing might be listening to you, 916 00:54:06.239 --> 00:54:08.199 it could be recording what you're saying. And I would 917 00:54:08.280 --> 00:54:10.960 remind folks. In addition to the fact that recent information 918 00:54:11.039 --> 00:54:13.280 has come out that a company that people like Facebook 919 00:54:13.320 --> 00:54:15.320 works with who claim they are listening to you, because 920 00:54:15.360 --> 00:54:19.360 Facebook has claimed they're not. If you think about it, Brian, 921 00:54:19.440 --> 00:54:22.000 any so called smart device that you can talk to 922 00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:25.039 for whatever purpose must be listening to you in order 923 00:54:25.079 --> 00:54:26.519 to know when you wanted to do something right. 924 00:54:26.639 --> 00:54:29.039 Always scene makes sense to me along those lines, Dave. 925 00:54:30.039 --> 00:54:32.960 Yeah. So, so with that said, you know, if it 926 00:54:32.960 --> 00:54:34.679 has a microphone, it could be listening to you. Some 927 00:54:34.760 --> 00:54:37.480 of these things have cameras in them. But the real 928 00:54:37.519 --> 00:54:39.360 bottom line, and this is going to be a good 929 00:54:39.360 --> 00:54:42.079 segue into another topic this morning, is these TVs come 930 00:54:42.119 --> 00:54:45.280 with what's known as an advertising ID, and then that 931 00:54:45.400 --> 00:54:48.760 advertising ID when you watch things, is connected back to you, 932 00:54:48.920 --> 00:54:51.280 and it might be connected to other devices. So you 933 00:54:51.280 --> 00:54:52.800 know a lot of people will use their phone or 934 00:54:52.880 --> 00:54:56.039 tablet or PC while they're watching TV. You're coming from 935 00:54:56.079 --> 00:54:59.719 the same IP address. It's possible, through the use of 936 00:54:59.719 --> 00:55:02.199 cooking keys and browser fingerprinting and things like that, to 937 00:55:02.320 --> 00:55:05.119 connect that while you were watching this show, you were 938 00:55:05.159 --> 00:55:07.480 also doing this on your phone. That must mean that 939 00:55:07.519 --> 00:55:09.840 you like this, So let's sell you some ads. But 940 00:55:09.920 --> 00:55:11.880 One of the things they point out specifically in here 941 00:55:11.960 --> 00:55:14.960 is a lot of these free channels that are streaming based, 942 00:55:15.000 --> 00:55:18.639 they point out to be and specifically are essentially designed 943 00:55:19.039 --> 00:55:22.760 for tracking you. And you know, they'll see while you're 944 00:55:22.800 --> 00:55:25.519 watching a show, how that show is ranked in terms 945 00:55:25.519 --> 00:55:29.559 of like it's psychographic impact on people, and then they'll 946 00:55:29.559 --> 00:55:32.880 put ads in there based on that, so you know, 947 00:55:33.119 --> 00:55:37.159 again it's collecting enormous amounts of information about you. There 948 00:55:37.199 --> 00:55:39.280 was a lawsuit against Visio at one point, like every 949 00:55:39.280 --> 00:55:41.480 second they were taking a screenshot of what you were watching. 950 00:55:42.119 --> 00:55:43.880 So if you think when you're using one of these 951 00:55:43.880 --> 00:55:47.400 smart TVs you have any privacy whatsoever and out by default, 952 00:55:47.519 --> 00:55:49.920 you do not. Now I answer your question, what can 953 00:55:49.960 --> 00:55:52.519 you do about it? Well, it's tough. I mean I 954 00:55:52.519 --> 00:55:55.400 would remind everyone you could buy a smart TV and 955 00:55:55.440 --> 00:55:57.599 then just not connect it to the internet, right, you know, 956 00:55:57.719 --> 00:56:00.000 use it like an old TV. Now, of course, that's 957 00:56:00.119 --> 00:56:04.840 going to significantly limit how the capabilities of the TV. 958 00:56:05.920 --> 00:56:09.119 Another thing you could do would be instead of giving 959 00:56:09.159 --> 00:56:12.000 your data to let's say a Samsung or a Visio 960 00:56:12.079 --> 00:56:14.760 or whoever makes the TV, you could use a different 961 00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:17.800 streaming product like a Roku or something now it's going 962 00:56:17.840 --> 00:56:19.960 to track you to. It's just a question of who's 963 00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:21.079 getting all that data right. 964 00:56:21.079 --> 00:56:24.159 Right, your laptop would be getting the TV signal, which 965 00:56:24.199 --> 00:56:26.760 would be transferred to your TV, which is not hooked up. 966 00:56:26.800 --> 00:56:29.239 Meaning whatever protections you have on your laptop like a 967 00:56:29.320 --> 00:56:33.119 VPN might offer additional security that a smart TV hooked 968 00:56:33.159 --> 00:56:34.000 directly up would not. 969 00:56:35.039 --> 00:56:37.239 Yeah, or I mean you could. There's a lot of 970 00:56:37.239 --> 00:56:39.679 different ways you can potentially choke off some of this flow, 971 00:56:39.719 --> 00:56:42.079 but a lot of it boils down to going into 972 00:56:42.079 --> 00:56:44.920 the settings on the TV itself and seeing what you 973 00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:48.360 can disable. You know, can you turn off any of 974 00:56:48.360 --> 00:56:50.320 this sort of tracking? You know, use either some kind 975 00:56:50.320 --> 00:56:52.840 of privacy settings. Now you get into the privacy washing 976 00:56:52.880 --> 00:56:55.119 and the dark patterns of the stuff's hidden, and they 977 00:56:55.119 --> 00:56:57.360 don't really want you to turn it off, right. Well, 978 00:56:57.360 --> 00:56:59.760 but you may be able to, on any given TV 979 00:57:00.079 --> 00:57:02.039 disable some of this stuff. You might be able to, 980 00:57:02.280 --> 00:57:05.159 like if something will let me, but if it will 981 00:57:05.239 --> 00:57:07.079 let me turn it off, I'll go in and change 982 00:57:07.079 --> 00:57:09.480 that advertising idea every once in a while, just so 983 00:57:09.519 --> 00:57:10.480 it's harder to track me. 984 00:57:10.639 --> 00:57:12.840 Yeah, and you know me, I never run a call 985 00:57:12.880 --> 00:57:16.360 for legislation, but the technology to turn this stuff off 986 00:57:16.480 --> 00:57:20.679 does exist widely in the world. It's not expensive. Everything 987 00:57:20.760 --> 00:57:24.400 should have the option to let us decide what goes 988 00:57:24.440 --> 00:57:28.280 out into the world. Period end of story, exclamation point, 989 00:57:28.639 --> 00:57:31.760 and I'll reserve my explotives for when the microphone is off. Dave, 990 00:57:31.800 --> 00:57:33.119 we got to take a break or out of time 991 00:57:33.119 --> 00:57:36.280 and six forty fifty five krcity talks station so far 992 00:57:36.320 --> 00:57:38.719 behind six forty four fifty five krcity talks. See if 993 00:57:38.719 --> 00:57:41.280 we try to make some time back up. Dave had 994 00:57:41.320 --> 00:57:43.360 our interest it dot com. Thank you for you and 995 00:57:43.400 --> 00:57:47.639 the teams scheduling the segment on Tech Friday, data brokers 996 00:57:47.719 --> 00:57:50.440 also tracking our phones. I suppose we shouldn't be shocked 997 00:57:50.440 --> 00:57:51.039 by this either. 998 00:57:51.719 --> 00:57:54.559 You know, again, Brian Good, segue from the previous topic, 999 00:57:54.599 --> 00:57:56.920 because this stuff is all related. I just have to 1000 00:57:57.000 --> 00:57:59.440 once again remind people, as we've done so many times, 1001 00:57:59.480 --> 00:58:03.159 that these companies that are making extremely low cost products 1002 00:58:03.239 --> 00:58:05.400 or giving you anything for free, believe it or not, 1003 00:58:05.960 --> 00:58:08.920 are not making it for free. You become their product. 1004 00:58:09.320 --> 00:58:13.039 They capture your data, they monetize that data. And I 1005 00:58:13.079 --> 00:58:16.599 think as we're finding out slowly in chunks, as I 1006 00:58:16.639 --> 00:58:19.719 mentioned that last segment, we've now seen a company claim 1007 00:58:19.840 --> 00:58:22.880 that they've worked with companies like Facebook. They're listening to 1008 00:58:22.880 --> 00:58:24.519 you all the time. So when people say, how is 1009 00:58:24.519 --> 00:58:27.039 it possible that I'm having a private conversation with my 1010 00:58:27.079 --> 00:58:29.760 spouse and suddenly I get ads for X, Well, it's 1011 00:58:29.840 --> 00:58:31.519 due to all of this sort of thing. You know, 1012 00:58:31.599 --> 00:58:35.800 any so called smart device certainly has the capability to 1013 00:58:35.880 --> 00:58:38.760 track you in some way if they want to, and 1014 00:58:38.840 --> 00:58:41.840 most of them do because again, they're either making additional 1015 00:58:41.880 --> 00:58:44.239 money even if you paid for something, and you know, 1016 00:58:44.320 --> 00:58:48.280 recurring money, or that's how they're offsetting the cost of 1017 00:58:48.360 --> 00:58:51.000 whatever they're providing to you for free quote unquote. So 1018 00:58:51.679 --> 00:58:55.400 this story I thought was really interesting because basically it's 1019 00:58:55.440 --> 00:59:00.760 saying that they can track your phone using a variety 1020 00:59:00.760 --> 00:59:03.840 of different techniques, and it comes back to that advertising 1021 00:59:03.840 --> 00:59:07.079 identifier again. You know, Apple and Google both give your 1022 00:59:07.119 --> 00:59:10.199 phone an advertising identifier as well as other types of 1023 00:59:10.280 --> 00:59:13.320 unique identifiers that identify it to the carrier, network and 1024 00:59:13.360 --> 00:59:16.719 so forth. But the point they're making out here is 1025 00:59:16.840 --> 00:59:22.199 that you can use this advertising ID to track where 1026 00:59:22.199 --> 00:59:25.280 the phone is going. They sell this data to various 1027 00:59:25.360 --> 00:59:29.519 data brokers, and that's how over time, these incredibly detailed 1028 00:59:29.519 --> 00:59:32.599 and grantular dossiers are built up about you, so you 1029 00:59:32.639 --> 00:59:35.440 know whether it's location tracking, it's the thing you're viewing, 1030 00:59:35.480 --> 00:59:38.199 things you're viewing on the phone. Some of this gets 1031 00:59:38.199 --> 00:59:41.280 sold to data broker X by application Y, some of 1032 00:59:41.280 --> 00:59:43.559 it gets sold to another data broker. They sell this 1033 00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:47.119 stuff amongst each other, and then over time again you 1034 00:59:47.199 --> 00:59:54.199 have this unbelievably granular and detailed dossier about you, where 1035 00:59:54.239 --> 00:59:58.320 you've been, what you're doing. And you know, I know 1036 00:59:58.400 --> 01:00:00.639 some people will say, well, I don't care about that. 1037 01:00:01.039 --> 01:00:03.239 I have nothing to hide, and I would just remind folks. 1038 01:00:03.880 --> 01:00:06.480 Just in the past six months, we've seen two massive 1039 01:00:06.559 --> 01:00:10.159 data breaches, the National Public Data Data Breach and mc square. 1040 01:00:10.559 --> 01:00:12.840 Both of these are background check companies where they have 1041 01:00:13.119 --> 01:00:16.800 incredibly sensitive information about you. Think about it, Brian, If 1042 01:00:16.840 --> 01:00:20.599 I had all the background check information about you, I'd 1043 01:00:20.639 --> 01:00:24.039 know places you worked, places you lived, your family members, 1044 01:00:24.800 --> 01:00:27.119 all kinds of other information. So whether I wanted to 1045 01:00:27.360 --> 01:00:31.159 impersonate you and commit fraud in your name, or I 1046 01:00:31.199 --> 01:00:34.360 wanted to attack you and have legitimacy because I know 1047 01:00:34.440 --> 01:00:38.639 information that only the legitimate player would know. That kind 1048 01:00:38.639 --> 01:00:40.800 of data provides that, and the more data that gets 1049 01:00:40.840 --> 01:00:45.119 collected about you by these sorts of hidden tracking capabilities. 1050 01:00:45.400 --> 01:00:47.519 You know, that's all feeding into this. Then when it 1051 01:00:47.559 --> 01:00:50.239 gets breached or leaked, it comes back to bite you. 1052 01:00:50.280 --> 01:00:51.760 And that's why you should care about these. 1053 01:00:51.960 --> 01:00:55.679 Indeed, and you know judgement Paulitano has mentioned this before, 1054 01:00:55.719 --> 01:00:57.400 and he's not the only one that's brought it up. 1055 01:00:57.559 --> 01:01:00.199 When you wonder why a politician votes a certain way 1056 01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:02.320 which seems to fly directly in the face of what 1057 01:01:02.400 --> 01:01:05.280 he or she had campaigned on her you previously stood for, 1058 01:01:05.800 --> 01:01:09.239 you may have the answer right there. Dave Hatter, let's pause. 1059 01:01:09.840 --> 01:01:14.199 Exactly frightening stuff. Apparently, businesses have lost a lot of 1060 01:01:14.239 --> 01:01:17.920 money in email scans, a huge amount. It's six fifty 1061 01:01:17.960 --> 01:01:23.039 to fifty five k RC detoxation interest dot com. That's 1062 01:01:23.039 --> 01:01:25.400 where you find Dave Hatter and his team. If you 1063 01:01:25.400 --> 01:01:28.280 have a business, you have computers, and he'll keep you 1064 01:01:28.320 --> 01:01:31.920 from stepping in it, hopefully best practices and avoiding all 1065 01:01:31.960 --> 01:01:35.000 the problems. And we talk about speaking and stepping in it, 1066 01:01:35.320 --> 01:01:38.599 and real quick here we'll talk about the email scans 1067 01:01:38.639 --> 01:01:41.639 and how much it's cost businesses. Speaking of that, but 1068 01:01:41.800 --> 01:01:43.920 real quick here, Rick wanted to know, and I think 1069 01:01:43.920 --> 01:01:45.840 it's a great question, because I don't know, but it 1070 01:01:45.920 --> 01:01:51.000 sounds good. Can my router be configured to block out 1071 01:01:51.159 --> 01:01:53.320 going packets from the television? 1072 01:01:55.280 --> 01:01:58.760 Potentially? Yes, It's going to depend on the capabilities of 1073 01:01:58.800 --> 01:02:00.000 your router, how smart it is. 1074 01:02:01.159 --> 01:02:01.360 You know. 1075 01:02:01.400 --> 01:02:03.119 One of the things you could do too, to protect 1076 01:02:03.159 --> 01:02:05.400 your other devices from any smart device would be to 1077 01:02:05.440 --> 01:02:07.679 set up what nerds like you would call a v 1078 01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:11.960 land and basically create a separate network inside your network 1079 01:02:12.000 --> 01:02:15.039 so these smart devices can't talk to other devices. You 1080 01:02:15.079 --> 01:02:18.480 could potentially, you know, if if the TV is using 1081 01:02:18.519 --> 01:02:20.599 a domain name or something to send it back to 1082 01:02:20.920 --> 01:02:24.960 you know, yeah, you could potentially configure your devices to 1083 01:02:25.000 --> 01:02:27.360 try to block that traffic. The problem, Brian is most 1084 01:02:27.360 --> 01:02:29.960 people wouldn't even know how to ask that question. You know, 1085 01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:33.239 you could go online and probably get some help depending 1086 01:02:33.239 --> 01:02:37.119 on your specific device, It is theoretically possible. 1087 01:02:36.679 --> 01:02:39.719 To do that. Well, there's your next business model there. 1088 01:02:39.800 --> 01:02:44.800 You need to set out to help homes secure themselves 1089 01:02:44.840 --> 01:02:48.800 and keep their smart devices from revealing all the information 1090 01:02:48.840 --> 01:02:50.239 in the world. I think the first thing you do 1091 01:02:50.320 --> 01:02:54.119 is just don't get an Alexa type device anyway. Business 1092 01:02:54.159 --> 01:02:55.639 email scams. 1093 01:02:56.280 --> 01:03:01.800 So this is a huge problem, Brian. We see this regularly, 1094 01:03:03.360 --> 01:03:06.960 and it really you know, it's kind of shocking to 1095 01:03:07.000 --> 01:03:11.519 me how bad this problem is and how much money 1096 01:03:11.679 --> 01:03:13.800 is being lost as a result this. The FBI says 1097 01:03:13.840 --> 01:03:18.800 it's fifty five billion dollars from twenty thirteen to twenty three. 1098 01:03:19.360 --> 01:03:21.480 I can tell you that I believe it's a lot 1099 01:03:21.519 --> 01:03:21.960 more than that. 1100 01:03:22.679 --> 01:03:26.280 Businesses don't report it. You've mentioned that so many times. 1101 01:03:26.360 --> 01:03:30.159 Yeah, in many cases, unless there's a regulatory reason to 1102 01:03:31.000 --> 01:03:34.639 report it, they won't. Right I have firsthand knowledge of 1103 01:03:34.679 --> 01:03:37.400 a company here in Cincinnati that was referred to us 1104 01:03:37.480 --> 01:03:41.000 after this un unfortunate situation like this. They lost nine 1105 01:03:41.079 --> 01:03:43.559 hundred and eighty three thousand dollars. Think about that for 1106 01:03:43.599 --> 01:03:48.480 a second. And this often occurs because people do not 1107 01:03:48.639 --> 01:03:51.440 have strong passwords, strong unique passwords, and they don't have 1108 01:03:51.559 --> 01:03:54.039 MFA turned on. If I can get into your email, 1109 01:03:54.599 --> 01:03:57.159 I can look around in there and figure out, like, well, 1110 01:03:57.159 --> 01:04:00.239 who do you communicate with on a regular basis? Right now? 1111 01:04:00.519 --> 01:04:03.599 For a frontline employee working in a factory, maybe I 1112 01:04:03.639 --> 01:04:06.679 won't ever get access to this kind of information, but 1113 01:04:06.719 --> 01:04:08.760 I might also be able to move latterly within your 1114 01:04:08.800 --> 01:04:11.599 network once I'm in there. But if I can get 1115 01:04:11.599 --> 01:04:13.559 into let's say, like someone that works in your accounting 1116 01:04:13.599 --> 01:04:16.880 department or your finance department because they have a bad 1117 01:04:16.960 --> 01:04:20.719 password and or no MFA. I'm eventually going to figure out, 1118 01:04:20.760 --> 01:04:23.679 if I have enough time, how to get to some money. 1119 01:04:23.960 --> 01:04:28.880 It often involves fraudulent invoicing or request for wire transfers. 1120 01:04:29.360 --> 01:04:30.800 I know we don't have time today, but I think 1121 01:04:30.800 --> 01:04:32.800 I told the story. Not too long after I became 1122 01:04:32.840 --> 01:04:36.440 mayor and Fort Wright, the city clerk, got an email 1123 01:04:36.480 --> 01:04:38.760 that looked like it came for me. Wanted to do 1124 01:04:38.800 --> 01:04:41.800 an international wire transfer, and thankfully, you know, she said, 1125 01:04:41.840 --> 01:04:44.039 find the world with the city of Fort right, Kentucky, 1126 01:04:44.119 --> 01:04:47.519 do an international wire transfer. Yeah, picked up the phone 1127 01:04:47.559 --> 01:04:49.840 and called me, which is always the right answer. Anytime 1128 01:04:49.880 --> 01:04:53.239 there's any question about something, especially if it's financial, you 1129 01:04:53.280 --> 01:04:55.760 should stop what you're doing and either call your IT 1130 01:04:56.079 --> 01:04:58.800 people or your manager or the CEO or whomever and 1131 01:04:58.800 --> 01:05:03.440 say is this legit? Right? But the scope and scale 1132 01:05:03.440 --> 01:05:06.519 of this is insane, And I'm just telling people from 1133 01:05:06.519 --> 01:05:09.079 someone that works in the field. Every day, we see 1134 01:05:09.119 --> 01:05:13.039 this all the time. These are not ridiculously overblown numbers. 1135 01:05:13.079 --> 01:05:17.920 Business email compromise is happening all the time, and I 1136 01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:20.679 just keep trying to remind people. If you make it easy, 1137 01:05:20.719 --> 01:05:23.039 they will steal your money. Your money has value to 1138 01:05:23.079 --> 01:05:25.760 them because I often well, I'm too small, I don't 1139 01:05:25.760 --> 01:05:28.639 even think we're stealing. Well, your money is worth stealing, 1140 01:05:28.639 --> 01:05:31.000 and they will steal your money if you make it easy. 1141 01:05:31.320 --> 01:05:33.960 The good news is, well, there's nothing that is bulletproof 1142 01:05:34.000 --> 01:05:36.360 against this, Brian. There's a lot of things you can do, 1143 01:05:36.519 --> 01:05:41.400 including training, that will significantly reduce the likelihood of a 1144 01:05:41.440 --> 01:05:44.400 successful attack. But if you don't take it seriously, and 1145 01:05:44.440 --> 01:05:47.400 if you allow people to not have strong unique passwords 1146 01:05:47.920 --> 01:05:51.239 and not use MFA, you are eventually going to fall 1147 01:05:51.320 --> 01:05:53.280 prey to one of these kinds of scams. It's just 1148 01:05:53.320 --> 01:05:55.440 a matter of time until they find you with something 1149 01:05:55.480 --> 01:05:56.800 that's compelling to people. 1150 01:05:57.199 --> 01:05:59.920 Well and find you. They will, and it usually those 1151 01:06:00.159 --> 01:06:02.840 require an individual on the other side, you know, picking 1152 01:06:02.880 --> 01:06:04.920 up a phone or launching the attack. They do this 1153 01:06:05.000 --> 01:06:08.800 remotely with bots and and bot farms, and you know, 1154 01:06:09.079 --> 01:06:12.039 just flip a switch. You got thousands of basically micro 1155 01:06:12.119 --> 01:06:14.960 computers going to work trying to get you to you know, 1156 01:06:15.119 --> 01:06:18.039 respond to an email. Doesn't cost them much money at all, 1157 01:06:18.119 --> 01:06:20.679 and it's a volume business, right. 1158 01:06:21.079 --> 01:06:23.280 Yeah, think about it, Brian, if I could, if I 1159 01:06:23.280 --> 01:06:26.239 could send you a phishing email that leads to nine 1160 01:06:26.280 --> 01:06:29.119 hundred and eighty three thousand dollars to me, I just 1161 01:06:29.239 --> 01:06:32.760 really that's like some Hillary Clinton type return on investment. 1162 01:06:32.920 --> 01:06:37.000 It is cattle futures, and it's a much easier ROI. 1163 01:06:37.599 --> 01:06:38.960 Yes, it is, Yes, it is. 1164 01:06:39.519 --> 01:06:41.679 It's you know, I had to joke about this. You know, 1165 01:06:42.159 --> 01:06:44.400 if you don't ask, you're you're not going to know. 1166 01:06:44.440 --> 01:06:46.960 This is like go out and ask every woman you 1167 01:06:47.079 --> 01:06:49.280 run into if they want to go out, and eventually 1168 01:06:49.320 --> 01:06:51.599 one of them will. But if you don't ask, they're 1169 01:06:51.599 --> 01:06:53.440 never going to have someone who said yes. If you 1170 01:06:53.519 --> 01:06:57.000 send thousands and tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands 1171 01:06:57.079 --> 01:06:59.960 of phishing emails out in the world, somebody's going to 1172 01:07:00.199 --> 01:07:03.480 respond and you're gonna get nine hundred and eighty thousand dollars. 1173 01:07:03.519 --> 01:07:08.000 Maybe Tech Friday, Dave had or intrust dot COM's where 1174 01:07:08.000 --> 01:07:11.239 you find Dave and the crew you need them if 1175 01:07:11.239 --> 01:07:13.760 you have problems along the lines of what we talk 1176 01:07:13.800 --> 01:07:15.719 about each and every week.

Until next Friday, my friend, 1182 01:07:29.800 --> 01:07:30.840 have a wonderful weekend. 1183 01:07:31.599 --> 01:07:33.639 Always my pleasure, Brian.

Find them online at Protecting Taxpayers 1198 01:08:31.239 --> 01:08:33.920 dot org. Welcome back, Dave Williams, and I'll let you 1199 01:08:34.000 --> 01:08:35.880 know like I've been letting my listeners know this morning. 1200 01:08:35.920 --> 01:08:38.520 Sorry for the repetition for those who been listening all morning. 1201 01:08:38.960 --> 01:08:43.079 I'm struggling with some really deep, long coughing issues, so 1202 01:08:44.039 --> 01:08:46.039 I'll try to do my best not to stumble. But 1203 01:08:46.079 --> 01:08:48.000 if you hear me pause, it's because I'm hitting the 1204 01:08:48.000 --> 01:08:50.640 cough button. Welcome back, Dave Williams. Always love having you 1205 01:08:50.680 --> 01:08:51.159 on the show. 1206 01:08:52.399 --> 01:08:54.760 Brian, good morning. Sorry to hear you're a little bit 1207 01:08:54.840 --> 01:08:57.319 under the weather, and listen. I like to talk, so 1208 01:08:57.600 --> 01:08:58.640 don't worry about us. 1209 01:08:59.279 --> 01:09:02.399 I know you did up the slack. I always enjoy 1210 01:09:02.439 --> 01:09:05.479 all conversations, David. Let us start off with something that 1211 01:09:06.479 --> 01:09:09.560 to me is, if not the most important, got to 1212 01:09:09.560 --> 01:09:13.640 be in the top two most important things, shutting down 1213 01:09:13.720 --> 01:09:17.800 and reeling in government spending. And I was really excited 1214 01:09:17.840 --> 01:09:20.960 about it. I think Elon Musk is just a neat guy. 1215 01:09:21.039 --> 01:09:24.039 He is goofy, he's weird, He's got great ideas. He's 1216 01:09:24.039 --> 01:09:28.079 obviously brilliant, way way way out of the box, and 1217 01:09:28.199 --> 01:09:34.359 is thinking but demonstrably successful, brilliant multi billionaire. He knows 1218 01:09:34.359 --> 01:09:36.680 how to cut government and looks like he's going to 1219 01:09:36.760 --> 01:09:38.880 have at least some sort of role, perhaps a prominent 1220 01:09:38.960 --> 01:09:42.479 role in doing that in the Trump administration. Now, if 1221 01:09:42.520 --> 01:09:45.159 you're a betting man, Dave isn't going to happen. 1222 01:09:46.520 --> 01:09:51.720 Wow, so much to unpack the Yeah, Elon Musk really 1223 01:09:51.800 --> 01:09:55.439 is a fascinating guy, right Tesla SpaceX. I mean, so 1224 01:09:55.520 --> 01:09:58.520 many things that he has his hands in, and he's 1225 01:09:58.600 --> 01:10:01.520 the last month or two he's been talking about this 1226 01:10:01.680 --> 01:10:06.399 Department of Government Efficiency really going through the federal government 1227 01:10:06.600 --> 01:10:11.479 looking for a raceful spending, redundant spending, duplicative, you name it. 1228 01:10:11.800 --> 01:10:14.760 And this really, you know, scratches the itch for me 1229 01:10:14.920 --> 01:10:18.079 when we talk about doing an audit of the federal government, 1230 01:10:18.119 --> 01:10:20.119 and that's what he's talking about, is an audit. I 1231 01:10:20.159 --> 01:10:23.079 remember back in the eighties we had the Grace Commission, 1232 01:10:23.600 --> 01:10:26.640 and this was a really comprehensive look at the federal government. 1233 01:10:26.640 --> 01:10:28.720 I mean it was a long time ago, but it 1234 01:10:28.800 --> 01:10:32.880 really set the tone for auditing the government. And I think, 1235 01:10:33.000 --> 01:10:35.479 you know what, forty years later, now we can do 1236 01:10:35.920 --> 01:10:39.600 the same thing. But we have an advantage forty years later. 1237 01:10:39.840 --> 01:10:44.399 It's technology. We have ways of going inside the government 1238 01:10:44.479 --> 01:10:48.520 now and I'm hoping and looking and finding a government 1239 01:10:48.560 --> 01:10:51.199 waste a lot easier than we did in the nineteen eighties, 1240 01:10:51.239 --> 01:10:53.960 and that's why I'm excited. Now, Brian, I'm not so 1241 01:10:54.159 --> 01:10:57.640 excited if you look at the history of Republicans when 1242 01:10:57.680 --> 01:10:58.600 it comes to spending. 1243 01:10:58.720 --> 01:11:02.399 Amen, Trump right there, go ahead, I'm gonna I'm calling 1244 01:11:02.399 --> 01:11:04.840 out Trump right now. It's one of the biggest criticisms 1245 01:11:04.880 --> 01:11:07.399 I had. I said, he has never been a deficit hawk. 1246 01:11:07.680 --> 01:11:10.960 The government spending went up under his administration. Our deficit 1247 01:11:11.039 --> 01:11:13.239 went up what five trillion under the Trump administration? 1248 01:11:14.680 --> 01:11:17.520 It did you know, and look at before COVID. You know, 1249 01:11:17.760 --> 01:11:20.439 the Democrats would have done nothing different. During COVID. They 1250 01:11:20.479 --> 01:11:23.600 would have spent trillions upon trillions of dollars. But let's 1251 01:11:23.600 --> 01:11:26.600 look at what happened before COVID. When Trump was president, 1252 01:11:26.640 --> 01:11:30.199 we had a deficit of two point two trillion dollars. 1253 01:11:30.920 --> 01:11:35.760 That's concerning. That's very concerning. So now he's coming back 1254 01:11:35.800 --> 01:11:38.119 in January, we're going to have a House and a 1255 01:11:38.159 --> 01:11:41.119 Senate that's going to be controlled, right Republicans, this is 1256 01:11:41.239 --> 01:11:46.279 their opportunity to do something, some meaningful reform, whether a 1257 01:11:46.359 --> 01:11:49.680 speaker Mike Johnson or another speaker who comes in. It's 1258 01:11:49.840 --> 01:11:52.520 time and it's I mean, it's past time. As as 1259 01:11:52.600 --> 01:11:55.640 me honest, I mean we're talking. You know, interest on 1260 01:11:55.680 --> 01:11:58.600 the debt is eight hundred and nine hundred billion dollars. 1261 01:11:58.920 --> 01:12:04.680 That's interest, that's multiple government agencies put together, spending wise. 1262 01:12:04.920 --> 01:12:07.319 And that's why this needs to be addressed immediately. But 1263 01:12:07.560 --> 01:12:12.359 Speaker Johnson has an opportunity to do this. And again, 1264 01:12:12.479 --> 01:12:14.960 you know Trump has been talking about this. If you're 1265 01:12:15.000 --> 01:12:16.920 gonna walk, you know, if you're going to talk the talk, 1266 01:12:17.000 --> 01:12:20.560 you have to walk the walk. But again, their track 1267 01:12:20.600 --> 01:12:21.640 record isn't great. 1268 01:12:22.119 --> 01:12:25.439 No, it's not because politicians have a difficult time saying no. 1269 01:12:25.560 --> 01:12:27.600 I mean they're worried about the next election even though 1270 01:12:27.640 --> 01:12:30.800 the first one. Then the ink isn't even dry on 1271 01:12:30.880 --> 01:12:34.319 Trump winning the other day, and you know they're already 1272 01:12:34.359 --> 01:12:36.920 thinking about two years from now and running again. And 1273 01:12:37.800 --> 01:12:41.119 to cut means you know, boiling it down to its 1274 01:12:41.840 --> 01:12:45.239 bottom line, pissing some people off. You're gonna have to 1275 01:12:45.279 --> 01:12:49.359 eradicate jobs in government. Dave, you been following this. The 1276 01:12:49.399 --> 01:12:52.800 biggest growth in jobs has been government jobs. It's been 1277 01:12:52.880 --> 01:12:56.279 nothing but expansion of government over decades, and it just 1278 01:12:56.319 --> 01:13:00.439 got worse over the past three and a half four years. Plage. 1279 01:13:00.439 --> 01:13:02.560 You brought that up because these job numbers where they 1280 01:13:02.640 --> 01:13:05.840 say we've added three hundred thousand jobs. A lot of 1281 01:13:05.880 --> 01:13:09.880 them have been government jobs, mean taxpayer funded jobs, and 1282 01:13:09.920 --> 01:13:12.600 a lot of people don't know that and they think that, 1283 01:13:12.760 --> 01:13:15.199 you know, it's really an illusion of these jobs gains 1284 01:13:15.199 --> 01:13:18.319 have been an illusion because they're really not. When the 1285 01:13:18.359 --> 01:13:23.079 government's adding that means you're subtracting from taxpayers. So, you know, 1286 01:13:23.119 --> 01:13:26.640 the economy is still it's the economy is struggling. You know, 1287 01:13:26.680 --> 01:13:29.520 the administration one to put a happy face on it, 1288 01:13:29.600 --> 01:13:32.439 and you know, they reduced interest rates and did a 1289 01:13:32.479 --> 01:13:34.800 lot of other things, but we're still in a very 1290 01:13:35.520 --> 01:13:37.039 weak and tenuous economy. 1291 01:13:37.439 --> 01:13:39.960 Well, and let's look at the nature of government jobs. 1292 01:13:40.079 --> 01:13:44.279 Unlike the private sector, government jobs live thrive and survive 1293 01:13:44.359 --> 01:13:46.880 on taking money from us out here trying to be 1294 01:13:46.920 --> 01:13:52.359 productive and support a basically a consumer consumption driven economy. 1295 01:13:52.800 --> 01:13:57.279 Government jobs don't create money. They merely confiscate money and 1296 01:13:57.319 --> 01:14:00.479 spend it on the administration and overhead and office space 1297 01:14:00.520 --> 01:14:04.239 and you know, fiddling around and issuing edicts and mandates 1298 01:14:04.239 --> 01:14:07.800 that further restrain our economic activity. It's just it is 1299 01:14:07.880 --> 01:14:11.520 a you know, it isn't a recipe for making money. 1300 01:14:11.560 --> 01:14:14.359 It's taking money out isn't that really the final analysis 1301 01:14:14.359 --> 01:14:17.079 how it boils down, Dave, It. 1302 01:14:17.000 --> 01:14:19.960 Really isn't you know. The best example I can give 1303 01:14:19.960 --> 01:14:23.079 you is the United States Postal Service versus the private 1304 01:14:23.119 --> 01:14:27.680 sector when it comes to seasonal hiring. So everyone's ramping 1305 01:14:27.760 --> 01:14:31.439 up for Christmas and the holidays, you know, deliver packages, 1306 01:14:31.479 --> 01:14:34.920 deliver mail. Well, what the Postal Service does is they 1307 01:14:34.960 --> 01:14:38.640 have seasonal hiring like the private sector, but you have 1308 01:14:38.720 --> 01:14:42.760 the option of becoming full time after Christmas and after 1309 01:14:42.920 --> 01:14:46.640 the holidays, because the unions have negotiated this with the 1310 01:14:46.680 --> 01:14:49.439 Postal Service. Now, if you work for the private sector, 1311 01:14:49.800 --> 01:14:53.000 if it's UPS or Fedexio, no, we're just hiring you 1312 01:14:53.079 --> 01:14:55.680 until January, and we are going to let you go 1313 01:14:55.760 --> 01:14:59.920 because it's seasonal. Hence the term seasonal. The Postal Service 1314 01:15:00.199 --> 01:15:02.720 almost guarantee that if you want a full time job 1315 01:15:03.399 --> 01:15:06.920 after your seasonal employment, you can have it. So there 1316 01:15:06.960 --> 01:15:10.039 you have the difference between the private sector and the 1317 01:15:10.039 --> 01:15:13.239 public sector. And when it comes to stupidity and really 1318 01:15:13.439 --> 01:15:16.239 bad hiring decisions and you know, economic decisions. 1319 01:15:17.119 --> 01:15:20.199 Yeah, and it's a wonder and I just I step 1320 01:15:20.239 --> 01:15:22.479 back and I stare at the US Postal Service. How 1321 01:15:22.520 --> 01:15:25.520 many years in a row. Have they lost billions of dollars? 1322 01:15:25.840 --> 01:15:27.439 This has been going on for as long as ey 1323 01:15:27.439 --> 01:15:30.520 as you have been have been talking, if not much longer. 1324 01:15:31.960 --> 01:15:34.039 Yeah, I had a lot more hair when they were 1325 01:15:34.039 --> 01:15:38.039 making money. You know. It's they've lost what one hundred 1326 01:15:38.079 --> 01:15:40.640 and more than one hundred billion dollars over the last 1327 01:15:40.680 --> 01:15:43.920 fifteen years. I mean, this is an entity that has 1328 01:15:43.920 --> 01:15:48.199 a monopoly on first class mail and they're blowing it. 1329 01:15:48.640 --> 01:15:50.880 I mean, I would love to have a monopoly in 1330 01:15:51.039 --> 01:15:53.399 any sort of business, and I guarantee you if I 1331 01:15:53.399 --> 01:15:55.680 had a monopoly, I'd be making money hand over fist. 1332 01:15:55.760 --> 01:15:58.159 But for some reason, the Postal Service, and we know 1333 01:15:58.199 --> 01:15:59.800 a lot of the reasons that the Postal Service just 1334 01:15:59.840 --> 01:16:00.479 came into it. 1335 01:16:00.800 --> 01:16:02.439 Yeah, I hate this them, and I know that the 1336 01:16:02.479 --> 01:16:04.880 post guy, that person that delivers my mail is not 1337 01:16:04.920 --> 01:16:07.920 the one that's to blame. It's the model. It's the system, 1338 01:16:08.520 --> 01:16:11.279 and it's the refusal of those in charge to well 1339 01:16:11.279 --> 01:16:14.399 crack down on it for reasons that escape me. Protecting 1340 01:16:14.399 --> 01:16:16.960 Taxpayers dot orgs where you find Dave and the Taxpayer 1341 01:16:16.960 --> 01:16:21.479 Protection Alliance at seven twenty fifty five KERCD Talk Station. 1342 01:16:22.359 --> 01:16:25.439 Happy Friday to you. Somebody's got to look out for 1343 01:16:25.439 --> 01:16:30.399 our money, and someone is protecting taxpayers dot Org, Dave 1344 01:16:30.399 --> 01:16:33.000 william and the Taxpayer Protection Alliance. Dave's joined the program, 1345 01:16:33.000 --> 01:16:36.079 as he does about once a month. And here's an 1346 01:16:36.079 --> 01:16:40.960 interesting question. Is the future looking brighter? Interesting sort of 1347 01:16:40.960 --> 01:16:43.560 loaded question, Dave. I guess it depends on which direction 1348 01:16:43.600 --> 01:16:44.079 we're looking. 1349 01:16:46.079 --> 01:16:50.279 I think the future is looking brighter. Two examples tax reform. 1350 01:16:50.640 --> 01:16:53.199 We have the tax cuts that are going to expire 1351 01:16:53.479 --> 01:16:56.720 at the end of twenty twenty five next year. This 1352 01:16:56.880 --> 01:17:00.079 was Trump's signature piece of legislation, right, I mean, and 1353 01:17:00.079 --> 01:17:02.439 this gave the economy a shot in the arm that 1354 01:17:02.479 --> 01:17:05.159 it desperately need. At the end of twenty seventeen and 1355 01:17:05.239 --> 01:17:10.159 beginning of twenty eighteen, companies sent out thousand dollars bonuses 1356 01:17:10.199 --> 01:17:13.920 to people. It really was a great time, obviously a 1357 01:17:14.000 --> 01:17:17.640 year or so before COVID hit. But we have an 1358 01:17:17.640 --> 01:17:21.960 opportunity to extend the tax cuts to remain competitive around 1359 01:17:22.000 --> 01:17:24.880 the world, but to make sure that people's taxes are 1360 01:17:24.960 --> 01:17:27.760 still relatively low. Listen, there's a lot of work to do. 1361 01:17:27.800 --> 01:17:30.319 I'm not going to lie, but if these tax cuts 1362 01:17:30.319 --> 01:17:33.800 expired would be awful for the economy. We had the trifecta. 1363 01:17:33.840 --> 01:17:36.840 Now we have the House, the Senate, and the White House, 1364 01:17:37.079 --> 01:17:41.239 there is no excuse not to extend the tax cuts. 1365 01:17:41.279 --> 01:17:45.159 So that's where I'm really really excited about. And there's 1366 01:17:45.199 --> 01:17:48.319 a commitment, i think, from everyone in the Republican Party 1367 01:17:48.520 --> 01:17:51.199 to do that. There are differences in the Republican Party 1368 01:17:51.199 --> 01:17:53.880 on some issues, but not when it comes to tax cuts. 1369 01:17:54.399 --> 01:17:54.760 Energy. 1370 01:17:55.119 --> 01:17:57.159 Wow, this is going to be fascinating. Is he going 1371 01:17:57.199 --> 01:18:00.880 to restart the Keystone Excel pipeline in Jane? That was 1372 01:18:00.920 --> 01:18:03.039 Biden's first thing that he did was shut it down 1373 01:18:03.239 --> 01:18:05.760 when he came into office. I would love for Trump 1374 01:18:05.800 --> 01:18:07.399 for that to be one of the first things that 1375 01:18:07.439 --> 01:18:07.880 he does. 1376 01:18:08.039 --> 01:18:11.239 Is there still time to do that? That thing's been 1377 01:18:11.279 --> 01:18:13.199 flipped on and off more times than I care to 1378 01:18:13.199 --> 01:18:16.159 even remember over the past what eight ten years? I mean, 1379 01:18:16.159 --> 01:18:17.800 I've lost track on that day. 1380 01:18:19.039 --> 01:18:23.760 There absolutely is. And what's frustrating is if they if 1381 01:18:23.840 --> 01:18:26.239 Biden wouldn't have done this, that thing would be pumping 1382 01:18:26.359 --> 01:18:30.840 eight hundred thousand barrels of oil into this country a day. 1383 01:18:31.319 --> 01:18:34.479 I mean, that's where we would be, and obviously gas 1384 01:18:34.520 --> 01:18:36.760 prices would be lower, but there'd be a lot more 1385 01:18:36.840 --> 01:18:38.840 jobs in that part of the country. And these are 1386 01:18:38.880 --> 01:18:42.520 good paying jobs, Brian, you know, one hundred thousand dollars jobs. 1387 01:18:43.119 --> 01:18:46.399 So just it's all good for the economy when we 1388 01:18:46.479 --> 01:18:50.079 have more oil exploration and more oil coming into this country. 1389 01:18:50.119 --> 01:18:53.520 And really it's the green energy mandates, you know, just 1390 01:18:53.560 --> 01:18:55.600 getting rid of these mandates. Listen, if you want to 1391 01:18:55.680 --> 01:18:57.920 drive an electric vehicle, go for it. 1392 01:18:58.039 --> 01:19:00.000 I don't care, amen, just don't use. 1393 01:19:00.159 --> 01:19:03.319 My money to do it. You know, we're building all 1394 01:19:03.319 --> 01:19:05.800 of what we're trying to build these charger stations all 1395 01:19:05.840 --> 01:19:08.640 across the country. I think three or four have been built. 1396 01:19:08.920 --> 01:19:12.119 But my bigger question is, Brian, can you imagine if 1397 01:19:12.119 --> 01:19:16.279 they were taxpayer money building gas stations? People would lose 1398 01:19:16.319 --> 01:19:19.800 their minds. Yeah, rightly, so, I mean rightly. So listen, 1399 01:19:19.920 --> 01:19:22.279 our money shouldn't be used to build gas stations or 1400 01:19:22.399 --> 01:19:26.239 charging stations. This is corporate welfare. This should not be happening. 1401 01:19:26.520 --> 01:19:30.439 So but again, I am very optimistic about energy. Come 1402 01:19:30.560 --> 01:19:33.319 next year, and you know what we could see, will 1403 01:19:33.359 --> 01:19:36.479 there be more nuclear plants? Where we see nuclear plants 1404 01:19:36.520 --> 01:19:40.119 being built. We have tech companies that are now moving 1405 01:19:40.399 --> 01:19:43.680 to nuclear and trying to open nuclear plants because their 1406 01:19:43.760 --> 01:19:46.560 data centers take so much energy that they don't want 1407 01:19:46.560 --> 01:19:48.560 to be a draw on the grid. I mean, this 1408 01:19:48.640 --> 01:19:51.319 is what the private sector is doing. Is Trump and 1409 01:19:51.840 --> 01:19:54.159 is Congress? Are they going to move forward with this 1410 01:19:54.479 --> 01:19:57.279 and say okay, it's time that we move more towards nuclear. 1411 01:19:57.520 --> 01:20:01.000 Well I have a strong gu reaction to that, and 1412 01:20:01.000 --> 01:20:06.399 the answer is yes. But note Dave that these tech companies, 1413 01:20:06.399 --> 01:20:10.880 the Googles, the Alphabet whatevers say they're gonna get these 1414 01:20:10.920 --> 01:20:14.800 modular reactors, and no one in the Biden Harris administration 1415 01:20:15.000 --> 01:20:16.880 reacts with the hell, no, you're not going to do 1416 01:20:16.960 --> 01:20:20.079 that three mile while and they actually kind of embraced it. 1417 01:20:20.119 --> 01:20:22.960 They they didn't say no. So, if you're big and 1418 01:20:23.079 --> 01:20:25.720 powerful enough that you have enough money, I suppose to 1419 01:20:27.079 --> 01:20:30.399 donate money to campaigns and spend a billion dollars trying 1420 01:20:30.439 --> 01:20:32.439 to get Kamala Harris lugged. And you're the one that's 1421 01:20:32.439 --> 01:20:34.640 going to get a nuclear power plant. But the neighborhood 1422 01:20:34.680 --> 01:20:37.319 next to the Giant AI facility, sorry, sucks to be you. 1423 01:20:37.319 --> 01:20:38.760 You're gonna have to live off a windmill. 1424 01:20:40.079 --> 01:20:42.880 You know, You're absolutely right, is that it can't be 1425 01:20:43.119 --> 01:20:46.439 just for these companies. There has to be a larger 1426 01:20:46.479 --> 01:20:50.560 deployment of this because it's gonna bring down our energy costs, 1427 01:20:50.800 --> 01:20:53.680 and that's what kills small business. You talk to any 1428 01:20:53.680 --> 01:20:56.960 small business, you know, it's the energy costs when you 1429 01:20:57.119 --> 01:21:00.920 have a spike and electricity cost that kills small business, 1430 01:21:01.039 --> 01:21:04.119 especially restaurants and the ones that use a lot of electricity. 1431 01:21:04.159 --> 01:21:06.680 So I agree with you one hundred percent. You can't 1432 01:21:06.720 --> 01:21:09.720 just favorite the you know, have favoritism towards the big guys. 1433 01:21:09.760 --> 01:21:11.760 It has to be spread all around the country. 1434 01:21:12.720 --> 01:21:16.800 And again reminding folks that these modular reactors, one size 1435 01:21:17.199 --> 01:21:20.319 literally fits all. You get the plan, you know how 1436 01:21:20.359 --> 01:21:23.079 to do it. It's like putting legos together. Got one 1437 01:21:23.159 --> 01:21:24.880 right here, We're gonna put one over there, and it's 1438 01:21:24.880 --> 01:21:28.399 gonna be the same design, same principles. They're small, uh, 1439 01:21:28.439 --> 01:21:32.319 And it's just we don't have to build giant cooling 1440 01:21:32.479 --> 01:21:35.640 towers and have them next to massive water sources like 1441 01:21:35.680 --> 01:21:38.880 the old days. That's amazing what technology can do to 1442 01:21:38.880 --> 01:21:41.520 bring us around cheap energy. But Dave, I keep going 1443 01:21:41.560 --> 01:21:44.720 back to the fact the green folks, the globalists of 1444 01:21:44.760 --> 01:21:48.880 the world, do not want us to have inexpensive energy 1445 01:21:48.920 --> 01:21:52.119 because we're too damned and successful with it and we're 1446 01:21:52.119 --> 01:21:55.720 too damn consumptive for their perceptive of perception of life. 1447 01:21:56.800 --> 01:21:59.239 Well, and they're kind of backed into a corner because 1448 01:21:59.640 --> 01:22:05.439 nuclear is a renewable energy. Yeah, it's really the carbon 1449 01:22:05.479 --> 01:22:09.000 free though it really puts them in a real awkward position, 1450 01:22:09.079 --> 01:22:13.640 which I love that nuclear energy really is the you know, 1451 01:22:13.720 --> 01:22:15.600 the answer to a lot of our energy needs at 1452 01:22:15.600 --> 01:22:16.319 this point. 1453 01:22:16.359 --> 01:22:19.840 No doubt about it. And something that RFK Junior may 1454 01:22:19.840 --> 01:22:21.680 have something to do with more with Dave Williams coming 1455 01:22:21.760 --> 01:22:25.239 up next, What is the Pharmacy, Audit and Transparency Act 1456 01:22:27.520 --> 01:22:30.319 seven and fifty five kerc DE Talk Station Brian Thomas 1457 01:22:30.359 --> 01:22:34.279 with Dave Williams from the Taxpayer Protection Alliance. All Right, 1458 01:22:34.479 --> 01:22:37.960 we answered the question or anticipated about Trump reeling in 1459 01:22:37.960 --> 01:22:40.720 government spending. Please, dear guy, let that happen. The future 1460 01:22:40.720 --> 01:22:42.520 does appear to be looking brighter, at least in so 1461 01:22:42.640 --> 01:22:47.159 far as one thing energy policy across the board. Energy 1462 01:22:47.199 --> 01:22:51.479 policy is in our future, I think quite quite promising 1463 01:22:51.479 --> 01:22:54.520 along those lines. And moving over to something and I said, 1464 01:22:54.560 --> 01:22:56.960 Elon Musk or rather RFK Junior may have something to 1465 01:22:57.000 --> 01:22:59.880 do with it. What is the Pharmacy Audit and trans 1466 01:23:00.079 --> 01:23:00.880 Pharreency Act? 1467 01:23:01.079 --> 01:23:05.319 Dave, boy, this is a little bit complicated, but let's 1468 01:23:05.319 --> 01:23:07.680 see if we can get to this. And you know 1469 01:23:07.920 --> 01:23:11.840 right now, Department of in Human Services, the FDA, a 1470 01:23:11.880 --> 01:23:15.279 lot of improvement is needed, especially in pricing of drugs. 1471 01:23:15.520 --> 01:23:19.399 And you have these pharmacy benefit managers who act as 1472 01:23:19.720 --> 01:23:26.319 middlemen between pharmacies and insurance companies. And it's really listen, 1473 01:23:26.359 --> 01:23:29.560 whenever a middleman is involved in anything, you know, someone's 1474 01:23:29.600 --> 01:23:31.000 taking something off the top here. 1475 01:23:31.199 --> 01:23:33.560 Oh yeah, it's like pharmacy benefit managers. 1476 01:23:35.000 --> 01:23:39.079 Yeah. And what they're doing is they're negotiating between the 1477 01:23:39.119 --> 01:23:43.520 insurers and the pharmacies. So they say, okay, pharmacy, we're 1478 01:23:43.560 --> 01:23:47.600 gonna give you X amount for a drug. But then 1479 01:23:48.039 --> 01:23:50.439 they go to the insurers and they ask more. So 1480 01:23:50.479 --> 01:23:53.680 the pharmacy benefit managers are making money just being a 1481 01:23:53.720 --> 01:23:59.039 middleman and negotiating prices between insurance companies and in pharmacies. 1482 01:23:59.039 --> 01:24:01.840 And you know, you look at Ohio, Kentucky and Pennsylvania, 1483 01:24:02.159 --> 01:24:05.079 a lot of pharmacies are going out of business because 1484 01:24:05.119 --> 01:24:08.680 of the low reimbursements that they're getting for for the drugs. 1485 01:24:10.239 --> 01:24:13.520 Is there really truly a need for that middleman, Dave. 1486 01:24:13.960 --> 01:24:16.920 No, absolutely not. You know, this was created a number 1487 01:24:16.960 --> 01:24:19.920 of years ago. Of pharmacy benefit managers, and they're not 1488 01:24:20.079 --> 01:24:24.880 benefiting anybody. I mean, it's it's you know, healthcare. There's 1489 01:24:25.119 --> 01:24:28.239 no such thing as the free market in healthcare. Right, 1490 01:24:28.640 --> 01:24:31.279 You go to the hospital, you have no idea what 1491 01:24:31.359 --> 01:24:33.840 that procedure costs. And you know, I heard the commercial 1492 01:24:33.880 --> 01:24:38.600 you had, you know, a couple of minutes. Yeah, I 1493 01:24:38.600 --> 01:24:41.560 mean it shows you that we need reform in the 1494 01:24:41.560 --> 01:24:45.000 healthcare system. You break an arm, how much does that cost? 1495 01:24:45.039 --> 01:24:47.199 How much are you being charged? How much does that 1496 01:24:47.199 --> 01:24:49.840 actually cost? We never know, And that's why you need 1497 01:24:49.840 --> 01:24:52.520 to look at this top to bottom, including the costs 1498 01:24:52.520 --> 01:24:54.760 of drugs and these pharmacy benefit managers. 1499 01:24:55.239 --> 01:24:58.119 Yeah. I've been hearing about pharmacy benefit managers now for 1500 01:24:58.199 --> 01:25:01.039 years and years, and I just I really don't understand. 1501 01:25:01.640 --> 01:25:04.720 We go back to modern technology. Maybe there was a 1502 01:25:04.920 --> 01:25:08.680 time back a while back, before you know, we communicated 1503 01:25:08.720 --> 01:25:12.119 with emails and had artificial intelligence and could do things 1504 01:25:12.159 --> 01:25:15.039 sort of very quickly and easily from a communications standpoint. 1505 01:25:15.640 --> 01:25:18.880 We're not in those days anymore. We've got all this technology. 1506 01:25:18.920 --> 01:25:22.239 It should be very easy for an insurance company to 1507 01:25:22.239 --> 01:25:26.239 work directly with the manufacturers to negotiate a price. It's 1508 01:25:26.239 --> 01:25:28.920 best for their insurance and everyone can be happy and 1509 01:25:29.000 --> 01:25:32.319 satisfied with it. But throwing that extra slice of bureaucracy in, 1510 01:25:32.399 --> 01:25:34.840 I mean just by saying that, you know it comes 1511 01:25:34.880 --> 01:25:36.079 at a significant cost. 1512 01:25:37.720 --> 01:25:40.319 Well, and look at the cause of the problems to 1513 01:25:40.439 --> 01:25:44.319 Food and Drug administration. It takes twelve years at about 1514 01:25:44.319 --> 01:25:47.399 two billion dollars to bring a drug to market. 1515 01:25:47.640 --> 01:25:53.159 And unless it's unless it's a COVID mRNA vaccine, which 1516 01:25:53.199 --> 01:25:58.159 which with complete immunity from any liability associated with the dangers, 1517 01:25:58.199 --> 01:26:00.439 then they'll put that through in about five se weeconds. 1518 01:26:01.640 --> 01:26:09.119 Yeah, talk about Operation warps it for sure. Yeah. So again, 1519 01:26:09.279 --> 01:26:11.960 healthcare is a mess, and listen, I don't know if 1520 01:26:12.039 --> 01:26:16.840 one administration can unravel all the intricacies of the nonsense 1521 01:26:16.880 --> 01:26:20.039 that's happening. But you have to start somewhere, and you 1522 01:26:20.079 --> 01:26:21.760 know this is this is a great place to start 1523 01:26:21.800 --> 01:26:23.199 with pharmacy benefit managers. 1524 01:26:23.760 --> 01:26:28.520 Agreed, Dave Williams again, get him online. It's Protecting Taxpayers 1525 01:26:28.520 --> 01:26:31.279 dot org Taxpayer Protection Alliance until we talk again. Keep 1526 01:26:31.359 --> 01:26:33.399 up the great work you're doing, Dave. I always appreciate 1527 01:26:33.439 --> 01:26:35.760 our conversations, and I know my listeners do as well. 1528 01:26:36.760 --> 01:26:38.479 Brian feel better and have a great weekend. 1529 01:26:38.560 --> 01:26:40.760 Yeah, you do the same. Man, appreciate that very much. 1530 01:26:42.039 --> 01:26:46.880 It's seven forty two fifty five Karrosity Talk station. Pardon 1531 01:26:46.960 --> 01:26:52.920 me struggling with the cough this morning. Real quick. Here 1532 01:26:52.960 --> 01:26:55.319 as Trump decides who's going to be in his cabinet, 1533 01:26:55.359 --> 01:27:00.159 and he has named a woman named Susan Wiles. She'll 1534 01:27:00.199 --> 01:27:02.760 be the first. I know Donald Trump hates women, right, 1535 01:27:02.840 --> 01:27:06.279 and women hate Donald Trump, but he has appointed Susan 1536 01:27:06.319 --> 01:27:10.560 Wills to be the very first female chief of staff 1537 01:27:10.600 --> 01:27:13.600 in history. So, uh, you draw your own conclusions on that. 1538 01:27:13.640 --> 01:27:15.800 I don't know a whole lot about her, but according 1539 01:27:15.800 --> 01:27:18.199 to everything I've read about her, she's got really really 1540 01:27:18.199 --> 01:27:21.279 a savvy, savvy lady. H And a shout out to 1541 01:27:21.319 --> 01:27:24.840 my dear friend Keegan Corcoran, who is an accomplished Sammier, 1542 01:27:24.960 --> 01:27:26.520 one of only six hundred of the world to hold 1543 01:27:26.520 --> 01:27:29.000 the title of Advanced Saier. And since Donald Trump's putting 1544 01:27:29.039 --> 01:27:31.840 his cabinet together, I know there is no cabinet position 1545 01:27:32.079 --> 01:27:34.119 for White House samiier, but I found out the other 1546 01:27:34.199 --> 01:27:38.119 day there is such a thing. So I'm pulling for 1547 01:27:38.199 --> 01:27:42.640 Kegan Corcoran and his hopefully political connections to end up 1548 01:27:42.680 --> 01:27:46.000 being the White House Samoier giving him global exposure would 1549 01:27:46.079 --> 01:27:49.800 not have you a cool job. It's being a Samier 1550 01:27:49.880 --> 01:27:51.720 and having those kind of skills. Anyway, It's just always 1551 01:27:51.720 --> 01:27:54.680 been impressive to me. But good luck Keegan of Ignition Wines. 1552 01:27:54.720 --> 01:27:57.479 He's a wholesaler now. Anyway, he was Jeff Ruby Samier 1553 01:27:57.560 --> 01:28:02.279 for like almost fifteen twenty years. Anyway, I always admit 1554 01:28:02.319 --> 01:28:04.439 to standing on the shoulders of giants, and I'm going 1555 01:28:04.520 --> 01:28:08.640 to do that right now because I love the observations, 1556 01:28:08.640 --> 01:28:10.159 and quite often i'll do. And I read an op 1557 01:28:10.279 --> 01:28:13.079 ed piece from the Wall Street Journal and Kimberly Strassel, 1558 01:28:13.159 --> 01:28:15.960 I think does a wonderful job. And she had a 1559 01:28:15.960 --> 01:28:18.039 few words for the mainstream media in her op ed 1560 01:28:18.680 --> 01:28:21.800 from the other day, a landslide against the media, And 1561 01:28:22.079 --> 01:28:24.640 Kimberly writes, you know, the recriminations are flying as Barack 1562 01:28:24.640 --> 01:28:27.520 Obama and Joe Biden's forces go to war over who's 1563 01:28:27.600 --> 01:28:30.600 more to blame for the democrats humilitating defeat on Tuesday. 1564 01:28:30.680 --> 01:28:32.960 So as long as the leftist pointing fingers, let's direct 1565 01:28:33.000 --> 01:28:36.039 a big, fat digit at the outfit that played the 1566 01:28:36.119 --> 01:28:41.159 biggest role in losing this election, the US media that 1567 01:28:41.279 --> 01:28:43.720 isn't the conventional wisdom which told that the press is 1568 01:28:43.880 --> 01:28:47.039 naked shilling for Democratic candidates amounts to an in kind 1569 01:28:47.119 --> 01:28:51.119 campaign contribution, And no doubt, the media's ceaseless attacks on 1570 01:28:51.199 --> 01:28:55.119 Donald Trump and Republicans did help round up some undecided voters. 1571 01:28:55.199 --> 01:29:00.159 Yet the boosterism for Kamala Harris and co. Came at 1572 01:29:00.159 --> 01:29:04.319 a far bigger cost. A narrative full of fantasy enabled 1573 01:29:04.359 --> 01:29:07.800 Democrats to live in a world disconnected from the mood 1574 01:29:07.880 --> 01:29:12.079 and worries of the country. Among those damaging of these 1575 01:29:12.119 --> 01:29:15.359 fantasies was the four year press assurance that Joe Biden 1576 01:29:15.439 --> 01:29:18.720 was as sharp as attack. Even video evidence in June 1577 01:29:18.720 --> 01:29:22.000 of a confused president wandering aimlessly at the Group of 1578 01:29:22.039 --> 01:29:24.800 Seven was met with claims that the footage was edited 1579 01:29:25.079 --> 01:29:30.239 or lacking contexts or misleading. Only when a Trump Biden 1580 01:29:30.279 --> 01:29:34.119 debate made Biden's decline undeniable did the media drop the charade. 1581 01:29:35.079 --> 01:29:39.079 Then it immediately turned to recast miss Harris, a presidential 1582 01:29:39.199 --> 01:29:44.800 primary loser turned unpopular vice president, as a political genius 1583 01:29:44.840 --> 01:29:48.319 in the obvious Savior of the Democratic Party. How'd that 1584 01:29:48.399 --> 01:29:52.840 work out in a world with competent press. Mister Biden's 1585 01:29:52.880 --> 01:29:56.079 failing failing constitution would have been front page news in 1586 01:29:56.119 --> 01:29:59.800 time for Democrats to confront the unpleasant yet manageable reality 1587 01:29:59.840 --> 01:30:03.840 of needed change. A primary would have produced a tested nominee, 1588 01:30:03.880 --> 01:30:07.680 likely one less unencumbered by the Biden record. As Harris 1589 01:30:07.680 --> 01:30:10.960 advisor and Obama veteran David Plouff complains that the team 1590 01:30:11.119 --> 01:30:15.640 Biden created a hole too deep for his sidekick to 1591 01:30:15.720 --> 01:30:18.159 dig out of. Don't forget the industry whose job it 1592 01:30:18.239 --> 01:30:21.680 is to call out political fiction, but instead wrote the 1593 01:30:22.560 --> 01:30:27.399 Joe Is Fine novel. Of course, Democrats are shocked that 1594 01:30:27.439 --> 01:30:30.039 they lost. In a world with a functioning press. The 1595 01:30:30.079 --> 01:30:33.560 politician he tries to make lemonade out of inflation, crime, 1596 01:30:33.720 --> 01:30:38.239 border chaos is slapptis out of touch. In a Biden 1597 01:30:38.279 --> 01:30:42.319 Harris world, opress printed their spinish gospel. For years, our 1598 01:30:42.359 --> 01:30:46.600 headlines insisted Americans live in one of the strongest economies ever. 1599 01:30:46.800 --> 01:30:50.399 Crime rates were following red state governors engaged in stunts 1600 01:30:50.439 --> 01:30:54.279 to magnify the migrant problem. The biggest issues facing our 1601 01:30:54.319 --> 01:31:02.000 country were climate, systemic racism, abortion, and transgender rights fantasies 1602 01:31:02.039 --> 01:31:04.399 were maintained right up to the election, even as Republicans 1603 01:31:04.560 --> 01:31:08.920 pointed a surging voter registration, unprecedented early votes, and notable 1604 01:31:08.960 --> 01:31:13.279 demographic shifts. The headlines insisted that Kamala would claim victory 1605 01:31:13.319 --> 01:31:17.079 on a wave of abortion and Liz Cheney loving suburban women, 1606 01:31:17.199 --> 01:31:21.560 comedian condemning Puerto Ricans, and white dudes impressed by Tim 1607 01:31:21.600 --> 01:31:26.520 Waltz's camo hat. No wonder Tuesday was a surprise. The 1608 01:31:26.600 --> 01:31:29.319 America that voted for mister Trump has never made even 1609 01:31:29.439 --> 01:31:35.960 made an appearance in these outlets. Democrats now face a choice. 1610 01:31:36.600 --> 01:31:40.880 On one side, there are party grown ups who are 1611 01:31:40.920 --> 01:31:44.800 publicly acknowledging this defeat as a sharp voter rebuke of 1612 01:31:44.960 --> 01:31:49.119 progressive policies. They're admitting that Lawfair was a mistake, that 1613 01:31:49.159 --> 01:31:53.239 the party is culturally out of touch, that lunatic interest 1614 01:31:53.239 --> 01:31:56.760 groups are running the asylum. They worry about a growing 1615 01:31:56.800 --> 01:32:00.720 political realignment that threatens the party's future. We are hearing 1616 01:32:00.760 --> 01:32:04.439 these voices is an improvement over the past eight years. 1617 01:32:04.800 --> 01:32:06.960 Yet on the other side, there are the progressive architects 1618 01:32:07.000 --> 01:32:10.439 of the mess, already rationalizing away the night as a 1619 01:32:10.560 --> 01:32:16.039 function of racism, sexism in America's supposed love affair with fascism. 1620 01:32:16.960 --> 01:32:20.039 They mark the loss down to tactical errors, the failure 1621 01:32:20.159 --> 01:32:24.640 to court pro Palestinian voters, a misallocation of door knockers, 1622 01:32:25.279 --> 01:32:29.880 poor timing, and adviys. The party just needs better messaging 1623 01:32:29.960 --> 01:32:34.840 of its historic achievements. No surprise, the media is already 1624 01:32:34.880 --> 01:32:37.840 running with the latter narrative again, providing the party with 1625 01:32:37.960 --> 01:32:41.760 a soothing alternative to the blunt reality of its ideological 1626 01:32:41.880 --> 01:32:46.640 fail Will Democrats be lulled again? If they really want 1627 01:32:46.680 --> 01:32:48.880 to reconnect with voters, they will at some point have 1628 01:32:48.960 --> 01:32:52.359 to break with what is proving to be a debilitating 1629 01:32:52.439 --> 01:32:56.680 feedback loop. The media itself was put on sharp notice 1630 01:32:56.720 --> 01:33:00.840 this cycle, pushed aside by podcasters and influencers, whom voters 1631 01:33:00.880 --> 01:33:06.079 now trust more to provide reality. Nearly fifty million people 1632 01:33:06.119 --> 01:33:09.039 have listening to Joe Rogan's interview with mister Trump, as 1633 01:33:09.079 --> 01:33:12.239 it provided a more accurate assessment of the GOP nominees' 1634 01:33:12.279 --> 01:33:15.560 positions and the concerns of the country than the news 1635 01:33:15.920 --> 01:33:21.920 articles about the authoritarian intent on destroying the climate. Abortion rights, democracy, 1636 01:33:22.600 --> 01:33:26.159 choose your obsession. The Founder is a court of the press. 1637 01:33:26.199 --> 01:33:29.520 The honor of inclusion in the First Amendment in recognition 1638 01:33:29.640 --> 01:33:32.720 of the vital role it plays in keeping poles honest. 1639 01:33:33.520 --> 01:33:37.319 The industry is meant to ride herd on government on 1640 01:33:37.399 --> 01:33:41.279 both sides in the interest of the people. That job 1641 01:33:41.359 --> 01:33:44.239 is essential not only for transparency, but to provide self 1642 01:33:44.279 --> 01:33:48.760 deluding politician constant gut checks as to how their policies 1643 01:33:48.840 --> 01:33:52.920 sit with a nation. When that guard rail fails, the 1644 01:33:53.039 --> 01:33:57.079 nation suffers, but so too does the party that gets 1645 01:33:57.079 --> 01:34:03.399 to live the make believe brilliance again. Props to Kim Strassel, 1646 01:34:04.079 --> 01:34:08.359 summon it up wonderfully. Seven fifty four on a Friday. 1647 01:34:08.479 --> 01:34:11.920 It is that time to catch ourselves a crime server 1648 01:34:12.079 --> 01:34:14.439 bad guy of the week.

It counts of fellai, 1658 01:34:47.079 --> 01:34:50.800 possession of drugs and falsification. I guess you thought he 1659 01:34:50.880 --> 01:34:52.279 looked like he did drugs. 1660 01:34:52.399 --> 01:34:56.960 Yeah, yeah, sometimes I'm not trying to stereotype. And you know, 1661 01:34:57.079 --> 01:34:59.920 looking at pictures like, okay, he's there's a wanted picture. 1662 01:35:00.239 --> 01:35:02.159 He's a crime stopper, bag guy of the week. What 1663 01:35:02.159 --> 01:35:04.039 do you think he did? And the drugs was the 1664 01:35:04.039 --> 01:35:08.600 first thing that bought my mind anyway, Lisa, I'm sorry, 1665 01:35:08.960 --> 01:35:11.119 I'm trying to put a smile on my face today. 1666 01:35:11.159 --> 01:35:12.760 So what are we going to do if we know 1667 01:35:12.760 --> 01:35:13.840 where this guy happens? 1668 01:35:13.920 --> 01:35:17.760 Be well, Adam Laughner.

Steve Gorem, a 1699 01:36:50.479 --> 01:36:54.159 well respected speaker and expert in a bunch of different 1700 01:36:54.159 --> 01:36:58.600 important areas energy, industry, agriculture, environment, sustainable development, economic trends, 1701 01:36:58.600 --> 01:37:02.239 climate change, corporate environmental policy. He's written a heapload of 1702 01:37:02.239 --> 01:37:04.760 books on it, most recently I can't go the whole list. 1703 01:37:04.800 --> 01:37:08.600 I want to talk to him, but a green breakdown 1704 01:37:08.640 --> 01:37:13.880 The Coming Renewable Energy Failure gotten five star reviews on Amazon. 1705 01:37:13.880 --> 01:37:16.199 Walking to the fifty five Carsy Morning Show Steve Gorman 1706 01:37:16.319 --> 01:37:17.880 is a real pleasure to have you on today. 1707 01:37:18.880 --> 01:37:20.399 Hey, Brian, great to join you again. 1708 01:37:20.760 --> 01:37:23.239 We were having a conversation earlier with the man called 1709 01:37:23.319 --> 01:37:25.840 Dave Williams. He's with the Taxpayer Protection Alliance, and I 1710 01:37:25.920 --> 01:37:30.000 was joking around. I have always screamed out loud in 1711 01:37:30.119 --> 01:37:32.920 the face of all of the people who say no, no, no, no. 1712 01:37:33.000 --> 01:37:35.600 As far as nuclear power is concerned, I do not 1713 01:37:35.720 --> 01:37:39.239 believe carbon dioxide is a problem. It's plant food. I 1714 01:37:39.279 --> 01:37:42.920 don't think I'm exhaling my planet into oblivion. Although there 1715 01:37:42.920 --> 01:37:44.439 are people on the other side to say it's a 1716 01:37:44.479 --> 01:37:48.359 real problem. Nuclear power seems to me the answer. Small 1717 01:37:48.680 --> 01:37:52.039 modular power plants, brand new, modern technology, not your three 1718 01:37:52.039 --> 01:37:54.359 mile Islands with your giant cooling tower. They have a 1719 01:37:54.479 --> 01:37:58.119 very small footprint. They are amazingly efficient to producing energy 1720 01:37:58.359 --> 01:38:02.479 and don't produce any the bad exhalation things that we're 1721 01:38:02.520 --> 01:38:05.840 all so worried about allegedly, how come we can't have those? 1722 01:38:06.079 --> 01:38:08.239 Can you answer that question of front, Steve. 1723 01:38:09.520 --> 01:38:13.600 Well, Brian, we all have hopes for these new innovations 1724 01:38:13.600 --> 01:38:15.920 in nuclear power. The problem with nuclear power really the 1725 01:38:15.920 --> 01:38:19.399 biggest thing is it's been just too expensive the large plants. 1726 01:38:19.439 --> 01:38:21.239 Over the last few years. They just put a couple 1727 01:38:21.239 --> 01:38:23.079 of plants in in Georgia that are working now, but 1728 01:38:23.079 --> 01:38:26.800 they end up costing over thirty billion dollars and took 1729 01:38:27.399 --> 01:38:28.680 a decade to do. 1730 01:38:28.720 --> 01:38:31.680 You know why that is, though, don't you, Steve Well. 1731 01:38:31.720 --> 01:38:34.520 A lot of it's regulation. I talked to Yeah, I 1732 01:38:34.560 --> 01:38:37.159 talked to the guy at the Plastic pipe Institute. He 1733 01:38:37.199 --> 01:38:39.840 said that when he produces pipe for a customer, it 1734 01:38:39.920 --> 01:38:44.560 usually takes a couple pages of background. If he does 1735 01:38:44.600 --> 01:38:46.479 something for a nuclear plant, it takes, you know, like 1736 01:38:46.560 --> 01:38:49.319 about a half inch full of paperwork. I mean, it's 1737 01:38:49.359 --> 01:38:53.119 just the regulations are really an issue. So we do 1738 01:38:53.239 --> 01:38:57.479 need the relief from regulations, but we need some we 1739 01:38:57.520 --> 01:39:00.800 need some technological breakthroughs as well. We're hoping these new 1740 01:39:00.880 --> 01:39:04.960 smaller power plants will do that, and it is needed. 1741 01:39:05.000 --> 01:39:06.760 And we have a lot of guys want to go 1742 01:39:06.840 --> 01:39:08.920 nuclear now, a lot of the big guys to support 1743 01:39:09.279 --> 01:39:11.479 the demand for artificial intelligence. 1744 01:39:11.640 --> 01:39:12.359 Yeah. 1745 01:39:12.520 --> 01:39:14.840 Well, and that's the other component that is so damn 1746 01:39:14.880 --> 01:39:18.199 insulting to me, Steve, is that you know, Alphabet, Google 1747 01:39:18.239 --> 01:39:23.920 and all these massive artificial intelligence global, multi billion corporations, 1748 01:39:24.319 --> 01:39:26.720 they start talking about it. Most recently, Hey, we can 1749 01:39:26.800 --> 01:39:29.199 build a small nuclear plant and we can get all 1750 01:39:29.199 --> 01:39:31.960 the power we need for our artificial intelligence needs. No 1751 01:39:32.000 --> 01:39:34.239 one seemed to be screaming out loud and objecting to it. 1752 01:39:34.560 --> 01:39:36.399 Yet if some city wanted to do it, then oh 1753 01:39:36.439 --> 01:39:38.199 my god, Oh it's going to take ten years. It's 1754 01:39:38.239 --> 01:39:40.920 going to be billions of dollars. Every single plan under 1755 01:39:40.920 --> 01:39:45.640 modern regulations has to be individually designed and created. Talking 1756 01:39:45.680 --> 01:39:48.840 about massive increase. That's why it cost so much in Georgia. 1757 01:39:49.159 --> 01:39:52.920 These modular plants are like legos, one size fits all. 1758 01:39:52.960 --> 01:39:56.439 They're small. You build one exactly the same as the other. 1759 01:39:56.920 --> 01:39:59.600 And we certainly can manage the waste, the nuclear waste 1760 01:39:59.600 --> 01:40:01.720 that's pretty used by all these plants. It's just not 1761 01:40:01.840 --> 01:40:04.600 I mean, it's totally manageable with a place like Yaka Mountain. 1762 01:40:05.920 --> 01:40:08.960 Yeah, I think so we really need to depository for waste. 1763 01:40:09.159 --> 01:40:10.880 There's not a lot of it in each plant. All 1764 01:40:10.880 --> 01:40:14.039 the plants today are storing it on site because it 1765 01:40:14.039 --> 01:40:15.560 doesn't require a lot of room. But we need a 1766 01:40:15.600 --> 01:40:19.199 better solution. So yeah, we're hoping these small nuclear plants. 1767 01:40:19.239 --> 01:40:22.119 Are something like fifty companies in the United States now 1768 01:40:22.159 --> 01:40:25.760 they're trying to produce small nuclear plants. So we're hoping 1769 01:40:25.760 --> 01:40:28.159 these will have some breakthroughs. And as you say, the 1770 01:40:28.159 --> 01:40:35.600 big guys Meta, Google, Amazon, to support these artificial intelligence processors, 1771 01:40:35.600 --> 01:40:39.760 they need reliable twenty four hour power, and wind and 1772 01:40:39.760 --> 01:40:42.279 solar can't do that, so they're looking at nuclear to 1773 01:40:42.279 --> 01:40:42.640 try and. 1774 01:40:42.560 --> 01:40:46.720 Do that, Okay, and recognize okay, and I'm obviously I 1775 01:40:46.720 --> 01:40:49.600 think that comes across pretty pretty clearly that I am 1776 01:40:49.640 --> 01:40:53.800 not a believer that we are personally responsible for all 1777 01:40:53.800 --> 01:40:55.560 the changes in the temperatures of the world. I do 1778 01:40:55.640 --> 01:40:58.439 agree that climate does change, because in the state of Ohio, 1779 01:40:58.600 --> 01:41:01.039 once you had a glacier covering the the whole state. 1780 01:41:01.399 --> 01:41:04.039 Thankfully it warmed up. There have been times like the 1781 01:41:04.079 --> 01:41:06.439 many ice Age and different ebbs and flows in the 1782 01:41:06.439 --> 01:41:08.840 global temperatures that went on for hundreds of years and 1783 01:41:08.880 --> 01:41:11.840 then gradually shifted back. We all know that how come 1784 01:41:12.079 --> 01:41:16.279 that happened. Before the Industrial Revolution, we weren't responsible, But 1785 01:41:16.319 --> 01:41:19.399 now we're responsible, literally for every hurricane that comes in. 1786 01:41:20.840 --> 01:41:24.000 Well, we're actually in the midst of the biggest modern 1787 01:41:24.039 --> 01:41:27.520 superstition in history. I call it climatism, the fear that 1788 01:41:27.600 --> 01:41:32.119 humans are causing dangerous global warming. Actually, our new President 1789 01:41:32.479 --> 01:41:35.439 Trump has used that term on the campaign trio of 1790 01:41:35.520 --> 01:41:38.600 climatism in the past. But you're right, and I'm going 1791 01:41:38.640 --> 01:41:41.399 to talk about that in the Empower You podcast. But 1792 01:41:41.760 --> 01:41:45.600 two bottom lines. A, Today's temperatures are not particularly warm. 1793 01:41:46.000 --> 01:41:47.960 We've had many times in the last ten thousand years 1794 01:41:47.960 --> 01:41:50.960 when it was warmer today, when we didn't have cars 1795 01:41:51.000 --> 01:41:55.840 and power plants. And B human industry is responsible for 1796 01:41:55.880 --> 01:41:59.479 only a very small part of the greenhouse effect and 1797 01:41:59.520 --> 01:42:01.880 a very all part of global temperatures, maybe one or 1798 01:42:01.920 --> 01:42:05.279 two percent, which means if we eliminate all emissions, all 1799 01:42:05.319 --> 01:42:07.920 carbon dioxide emissions, we probably won't be able to measure 1800 01:42:08.000 --> 01:42:11.920 the difference in global temperatures. Nevertheless, the world is spent 1801 01:42:13.159 --> 01:42:16.560 one point eight trillion dollars last year on renewables trying 1802 01:42:16.600 --> 01:42:20.039 to control the global temperatures. People say, if we all 1803 01:42:20.119 --> 01:42:22.600 drive electric vehicles, we can stop the oceans from rising. 1804 01:42:22.920 --> 01:42:26.159 And that's that's really the closest thing to modern superstition, 1805 01:42:26.279 --> 01:42:28.239 that that you can consider. 1806 01:42:28.680 --> 01:42:31.039 Yeah, and before we might dive into some of the 1807 01:42:31.359 --> 01:42:35.159 subtler details about that component, let me ask you this question, 1808 01:42:35.279 --> 01:42:38.560 recognizing what you just said, and I agree with you wholeheartedly. 1809 01:42:38.640 --> 01:42:40.800 We get a couple of volcanoes or up during some 1810 01:42:40.880 --> 01:42:43.800 massive wildfires, it negates any effort by us to get 1811 01:42:43.840 --> 01:42:48.479 particulate out of the air. The question is, then, why 1812 01:42:49.319 --> 01:42:51.840 are they shoving this down our throat? There clearly was 1813 01:42:51.920 --> 01:42:55.159 no demand for it within the market. They can't make 1814 01:42:55.279 --> 01:42:58.000 us buy electric vehicles even though they're shoving them down 1815 01:42:58.000 --> 01:43:01.199 our throats. It's only market manipulation that has brought this around, 1816 01:43:01.520 --> 01:43:05.279 regulatory mandates and edicts. So behind the scenes, though, do 1817 01:43:05.359 --> 01:43:08.199 you know why they are insisting that we do this? 1818 01:43:09.520 --> 01:43:09.680 Well? 1819 01:43:10.199 --> 01:43:12.560 I think the first of the world jumped to a 1820 01:43:12.640 --> 01:43:15.800 conclusion on this. A bunch of computer modelers back in 1821 01:43:15.800 --> 01:43:20.560 the nineteen seventies nineteen eighty saw that climate carbon dioxide 1822 01:43:20.680 --> 01:43:24.520 was rising in the atmosphere, and doctor James Hansen, for example, 1823 01:43:24.560 --> 01:43:27.279 testified before the Senate in nineteen eighty eight, he said 1824 01:43:27.319 --> 01:43:31.199 he was ninety eight percent sure the planet was warming 1825 01:43:31.199 --> 01:43:35.680 and humans were causing it, and the United Nations that 1826 01:43:35.880 --> 01:43:39.079 very next year formed the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 1827 01:43:39.119 --> 01:43:43.119 which concluded humans were causing dangerous warming. And then by 1828 01:43:43.199 --> 01:43:46.399 nineteen ninety two, only four years later, forty five nations 1829 01:43:46.399 --> 01:43:49.760 in the European Union signed a treaty saying we would 1830 01:43:49.760 --> 01:43:52.359 reduce greenhouse gases. They've been arguing about it for the 1831 01:43:52.399 --> 01:43:55.680 last fifty years. But the temperature rise, we've had a 1832 01:43:55.680 --> 01:43:57.359 little bit of a rise, but it's far below what 1833 01:43:57.399 --> 01:44:00.840 the climate models are predicting. We've had a whole bunch 1834 01:44:00.880 --> 01:44:03.560 of groups that have seized on this. We have whole 1835 01:44:03.560 --> 01:44:06.760 new industries. We have biofuels and wind and solar. We 1836 01:44:06.840 --> 01:44:11.600 have deans of sustainability at universities and vice presence of 1837 01:44:11.600 --> 01:44:16.680 sustainability at corporations. It's become the center of every environmental 1838 01:44:16.720 --> 01:44:19.600 group in the world, the central issue, and so we 1839 01:44:19.720 --> 01:44:23.720 have tremendous momentum behind this. But if you really look 1840 01:44:23.720 --> 01:44:26.239 at the data, the storms aren't getting stronger. The ocean 1841 01:44:26.239 --> 01:44:30.279 has been rising for twenty thousand years, and it just 1842 01:44:30.319 --> 01:44:33.479 doesn't the science doesn't support the concern. 1843 01:44:33.319 --> 01:44:37.079 Right, and they have adjusted their projections. They have moved 1844 01:44:37.159 --> 01:44:39.399 back the deadline by which we're all going to die. 1845 01:44:39.439 --> 01:44:41.680 I mean, al Gore is screaming about in ten years 1846 01:44:41.720 --> 01:44:43.479 that New York City is going to be underwater. We 1847 01:44:43.520 --> 01:44:46.560 know that was more than twenty years ago. So none 1848 01:44:46.600 --> 01:44:49.079 of it has come true. And yet we continue to 1849 01:44:49.199 --> 01:44:54.000 chase down this ridiculous path. So again, why, if we 1850 01:44:54.079 --> 01:44:57.159 know so much more, are they continuing to shove this 1851 01:44:57.279 --> 01:44:59.399 down our throats in the face of all the evidence 1852 01:44:59.399 --> 01:45:01.439 to the contra of what they're preaching. This has got 1853 01:45:01.520 --> 01:45:05.000 to be about something more than saving the planet. And 1854 01:45:05.039 --> 01:45:08.319 when you talk about the UN embracing something that immediately 1855 01:45:08.439 --> 01:45:11.079 raises a John Decive skepticism in my mind, because the 1856 01:45:11.159 --> 01:45:14.399 UN is seemingly the most incompetent organization that exists on 1857 01:45:14.439 --> 01:45:17.760 the planet in terms of what they're able to accomplish. 1858 01:45:17.840 --> 01:45:20.199 Well. Certainly, many many groups use the fear man made 1859 01:45:20.239 --> 01:45:23.920 warming for all sorts of objectives. The United Nations is 1860 01:45:23.960 --> 01:45:27.920 one example. The United Nations has had three big objectives 1861 01:45:27.960 --> 01:45:30.800 for for many years, and the fear man made warming 1862 01:45:30.840 --> 01:45:32.760 has served those. One is they want to become an 1863 01:45:32.800 --> 01:45:36.920 environmental leader globally. The second is they want to redistribute wealth, 1864 01:45:37.600 --> 01:45:41.119 trying the wealthy nations to the poor nations. Then the 1865 01:45:41.800 --> 01:45:44.079 fear man made warming does that. And the third is 1866 01:45:44.079 --> 01:45:47.520 they wanted a global a world government for many years 1867 01:45:47.520 --> 01:45:51.720 and Jack Sharrock, president of France, said that the Climate 1868 01:45:51.720 --> 01:45:54.920 Treaty Group was the first example of world government. So 1869 01:45:54.960 --> 01:45:56.640 we have we have many groups that want to do 1870 01:45:56.720 --> 01:46:01.439 Another one is computer modeling. Talk about in my second book, 1871 01:46:01.479 --> 01:46:05.800 The Mad Mad Mad Rule to Climatism, a scientist told 1872 01:46:05.880 --> 01:46:08.760 us that to set up a computer modeling team to 1873 01:46:08.840 --> 01:46:12.720 run climate models on a supercomputer costs fifty million dollars 1874 01:46:12.760 --> 01:46:15.560 and it costs twenty million dollars a year to run. 1875 01:46:16.119 --> 01:46:18.439 There are thirty of these teams across the world that 1876 01:46:18.439 --> 01:46:21.159 are running me. So there's a vast amount of money involved. 1877 01:46:21.199 --> 01:46:22.760 And by the way, if one of those teams says, 1878 01:46:23.479 --> 01:46:28.000 well we think climate is driven by natural not man 1879 01:46:28.079 --> 01:46:30.520 made factors, well then their funding isn't going to come through. 1880 01:46:30.600 --> 01:46:35.279 So there's a tremendous amount of value that various groups 1881 01:46:35.279 --> 01:46:37.079 get from this. And you know, we have tens of 1882 01:46:37.119 --> 01:46:39.880 thousands of consultants across the world that are vising companies. 1883 01:46:39.880 --> 01:46:43.600 How to reduce their greenhouse gases. But again, I think 1884 01:46:43.640 --> 01:46:46.359 most people are sincere. It's just that they're mistaken. The 1885 01:46:46.399 --> 01:46:49.119 science and the economics don't support what we're trying to 1886 01:46:49.159 --> 01:46:49.840 do right now. 1887 01:46:50.079 --> 01:46:52.720 Well suffer the little children come unto me. They start 1888 01:46:52.760 --> 01:46:56.399 teaching this good Man is responsible nonsense to children in 1889 01:46:56.399 --> 01:46:59.359 elementary school, and it begins from there, and people can't 1890 01:46:59.399 --> 01:47:01.359 turn their back. It's like turning your back on your 1891 01:47:01.359 --> 01:47:03.800 lifelong religion. You know, there must be a Christian out 1892 01:47:03.840 --> 01:47:06.880 there in the audience, ask them to renounce Christ and 1893 01:47:06.920 --> 01:47:08.600 then be like, oh my god, are you crazy? That 1894 01:47:08.600 --> 01:47:10.840 would never happen. That's kind of this what this has become. 1895 01:47:10.880 --> 01:47:13.439 It's just this, it's a new religion. 1896 01:47:14.720 --> 01:47:18.199 Well, and it's throughout the schools. As you mentioned, University 1897 01:47:18.279 --> 01:47:22.840 of California, San Diego has just made a climate course 1898 01:47:22.840 --> 01:47:28.359 of requirement to graduate. We have instances in Washington State 1899 01:47:28.479 --> 01:47:33.960 and in Utah where teachers are feeding kids insects in 1900 01:47:34.079 --> 01:47:37.079 class with the lesson that they shouldn't be eating beef 1901 01:47:37.239 --> 01:47:41.319 because of the climate. So, you know, this is not 1902 01:47:41.399 --> 01:47:43.880 a good thing. But it is all going to come down. 1903 01:47:43.960 --> 01:47:45.960 That's what green breakdown is about. It's going to take 1904 01:47:45.960 --> 01:47:48.319 a decade or two, but the world's going to get 1905 01:47:48.319 --> 01:47:50.039 back to sensible policy again. 1906 01:47:50.319 --> 01:47:52.960 So you are optimistic along those lines. 1907 01:47:53.680 --> 01:47:55.920 Well, I am, and I hope I'm around long enough 1908 01:47:55.920 --> 01:47:57.479 to see this turnaround. But we see a lot of 1909 01:47:57.520 --> 01:48:02.319 signs that this is changing already. We have this big 1910 01:48:02.359 --> 01:48:06.199 speed bump that electric cars have hit. Electric car shares 1911 01:48:06.199 --> 01:48:08.600 in the US and Europe have fallen this last year. 1912 01:48:09.279 --> 01:48:12.239 We have all sorts of problems with offshore wind, and 1913 01:48:12.399 --> 01:48:14.520 we now have mister Trump elected and he's going to 1914 01:48:14.600 --> 01:48:18.439 change a whole bunch of things, maybe even restarting the 1915 01:48:18.520 --> 01:48:21.800 Keystone pipeline. He said he's going to get rid of 1916 01:48:21.960 --> 01:48:25.199 government mandates, to get rid of gasoline cars. That's going 1917 01:48:25.239 --> 01:48:26.960 to be difficult, though. He's got to get the EPA 1918 01:48:27.000 --> 01:48:29.239 to change their policies. We'll see if he can do that. 1919 01:48:30.600 --> 01:48:32.159 But we see this around the world. By the way, 1920 01:48:32.199 --> 01:48:34.119 Europe is pulled back as well from a lot of 1921 01:48:34.119 --> 01:48:37.600 agriculture and climate measures, and a lot of conservatives were 1922 01:48:37.600 --> 01:48:40.720 elected this last year in Europe and they opposed these policies. 1923 01:48:41.399 --> 01:48:43.720 So I think things are starting to shift, but we'll 1924 01:48:43.760 --> 01:48:44.560 just have to see. 1925 01:48:45.000 --> 01:48:47.319 Steve Gorham is going to be doing this empower you 1926 01:48:47.359 --> 01:48:49.960 someonear on this topic next Tuesday, beginning at seven pm. 1927 01:48:50.039 --> 01:48:52.279 It is a virtual class only he's going to empower 1928 01:48:52.439 --> 01:48:54.720 you America dot organ log in. I encourage you to 1929 01:48:54.760 --> 01:48:56.880 do that. And the other elephant that room going back 1930 01:48:56.920 --> 01:48:59.079 to the UN and it wanting to be the global 1931 01:48:59.079 --> 01:49:02.760 dominance and established this one world government and wealthree distribution. 1932 01:49:02.920 --> 01:49:04.600 I get all that and agree with that being the 1933 01:49:04.760 --> 01:49:08.560 probably core motive. What of China and India and other 1934 01:49:08.640 --> 01:49:12.039 countries who continue to build coal plants dirtier than ours, 1935 01:49:12.840 --> 01:49:15.840 belching out more pollution than we retract from the planet 1936 01:49:16.119 --> 01:49:19.560 with all of our unbelievably costly efforts. They don't seem 1937 01:49:19.560 --> 01:49:21.640 to caroll wit and no one seems to be pointing 1938 01:49:21.680 --> 01:49:23.720 to them and saying, well, wait, wait, wait, what about China? 1939 01:49:23.760 --> 01:49:26.039 What about India? They're not doing anything and they're polluting 1940 01:49:26.079 --> 01:49:27.479 more than anybody on the globe. 1941 01:49:28.760 --> 01:49:32.000 Well it really we have many many nations developing right 1942 01:49:32.039 --> 01:49:38.279 now and they use hydrocarbon fuels. Earlier this year, John 1943 01:49:38.359 --> 01:49:41.279 Carey called for the end to all coal fire power 1944 01:49:41.319 --> 01:49:45.079 plants across the world, said none should be allowed. But 1945 01:49:45.159 --> 01:49:48.880 that's an amazing statement. Today coal provides thirty five percent 1946 01:49:48.880 --> 01:49:52.000 of the world's electricity. Yet we still have seven hundred 1947 01:49:52.039 --> 01:49:54.920 million people that don't have access to electricity, and there's 1948 01:49:54.960 --> 01:49:59.279 another two billion people who have blackouts and brownouts every 1949 01:49:59.319 --> 01:50:02.039 other day because they don't have enough power. So if 1950 01:50:02.079 --> 01:50:05.159 you if you're running an air conditioner in Cincinnati, you 1951 01:50:05.279 --> 01:50:07.279 use more electricity than a third of the people in 1952 01:50:07.319 --> 01:50:09.720 the world. That one appliance uses more electricity than a 1953 01:50:09.760 --> 01:50:12.319 third of the world's people get to use on any 1954 01:50:12.359 --> 01:50:17.680 given day. And uh, mister Carey saying that let's get 1955 01:50:17.760 --> 01:50:20.920 rid of co fired power plants is like Marie Antoinette saying, 1956 01:50:21.279 --> 01:50:23.199 if the port don't have food, let them eat cake. 1957 01:50:24.159 --> 01:50:27.199 I mean, it's it's really crazy. So, uh, there's going 1958 01:50:27.239 --> 01:50:29.760 to be a need. And what you do in Ohio 1959 01:50:30.399 --> 01:50:32.600 as far as the greenhouse gases, it's going to have 1960 01:50:32.680 --> 01:50:34.279 no effect. The rest of the world is going to 1961 01:50:34.319 --> 01:50:36.680 go and do what they're going to do. But the 1962 01:50:36.720 --> 01:50:39.159 great news again is that CO two, as you say. 1963 01:50:39.079 --> 01:50:40.439 Is makes grow. 1964 01:50:40.520 --> 01:50:43.760 It isn't buzzing dangerous warming. So that's that's the real, 1965 01:50:43.840 --> 01:50:47.640 powerful and possible positive note of it all. 1966 01:50:48.119 --> 01:50:50.319 I don't even scratch the surface for everything I wanted 1967 01:50:50.319 --> 01:50:52.399 to talk with you about today.

They were told 2014 01:53:08.439 --> 01:53:11.439 that the child had stopped breathing. First responders took it 2015 01:53:11.520 --> 01:53:13.960 up Bethesda North Hospital, but she was later transferred to 2016 01:53:14.000 --> 01:53:17.920 since Ant Children's and placed on life support.

Beyond that, clearly, I guess 2032 01:54:18.600 --> 01:54:20.560 if this was the five o'clock hour, we might be 2033 01:54:20.600 --> 01:54:24.520 going ahead and giving an award for that one. We'll 2034 01:54:24.520 --> 01:54:28.239 just kind of let it ride at this juncture. Westbound 2035 01:54:28.279 --> 01:54:31.239 I seventy four completely shut down this weekend between I 2036 01:54:31.359 --> 01:54:35.439 seventy five just to the west of southbound Beakman Street, 2037 01:54:36.199 --> 01:54:38.560 according to how Department of Transportation, all part of the 2038 01:54:38.600 --> 01:54:41.880 I seventy five I seventy four Mill Creek Expressway project 2039 01:54:41.960 --> 01:54:46.199 and in preparation for the next round of paving. Motorists 2040 01:54:46.199 --> 01:54:47.920 from mind to be cautious ad here to post it 2041 01:54:47.960 --> 01:54:51.840 reduced speeds when traveling through construction work zones and detours 2042 01:54:52.279 --> 01:54:57.640 detours suggested by ODOT.

We got a man found to 2050 01:55:26.079 --> 01:55:31.439 be making this is weird pipe bombs in his Goshen 2051 01:55:31.479 --> 01:55:34.840 Township shed. Thirty one year old Ricky Lewis the second 2052 01:55:34.880 --> 01:55:36.880 has been charged with two counts of possession of a 2053 01:55:36.960 --> 01:55:39.880 dangerous ordinance. According to the Claremont County records, These charges 2054 01:55:39.880 --> 01:55:44.119 stem from November one, when document state officers were flagged 2055 01:55:44.119 --> 01:55:48.399 down by Lewis as a strange girlfriend. Yeah, strange girlfriends 2056 01:55:48.479 --> 01:55:52.079 do that, won't they? She reported police, according to the 2057 01:55:52.119 --> 01:55:55.199 court documents, that her gun was missing slash stolen from 2058 01:55:55.239 --> 01:55:59.680 her home on State Route one thirty four, So apparently 2059 01:55:59.760 --> 01:56:02.680 she's said. She asked him why he was making pipe bombs. 2060 01:56:03.119 --> 01:56:05.640 He said it was so that he would have protection. 2061 01:56:06.000 --> 01:56:09.399 I guess at some point down the road, sergeant observed 2062 01:56:09.439 --> 01:56:12.199 green metal ammo can, two separate metal pipes that closed 2063 01:56:12.199 --> 01:56:15.359 caps on both ends, a red colored fuse inserted in 2064 01:56:15.359 --> 01:56:17.359 the middle of the pipe with adhesive around the base, 2065 01:56:17.399 --> 01:56:20.680 along with a rifle, powder and large amounts of ammunition 2066 01:56:21.720 --> 01:56:24.560 search weren't obtained by since ant bomb squad responded and 2067 01:56:24.640 --> 01:56:27.840 removed the pipe bombs. Alcoholic to back on firearms also 2068 01:56:28.000 --> 01:56:32.279 showed up to help with the investigation. Shocking literally no 2069 01:56:32.359 --> 01:56:38.319 one and father of twin baby girls indicted on multiple 2070 01:56:38.399 --> 01:56:41.199 counts following the death of one twins and injuries to 2071 01:56:41.279 --> 01:56:44.279 the other. Klemont County Prosecutor said, Oh, that's the same guy, 2072 01:56:44.359 --> 01:56:48.000 Andrew Kamer, same guy who got indicted for aggravated murder, 2073 01:56:48.000 --> 01:56:51.159 of felonious assault and dangering children. So I guess there's 2074 01:56:51.159 --> 01:56:53.079 one more involved. That's where I got those two stories 2075 01:56:53.119 --> 01:56:56.159 mixed up, and I sincerely apologize for that. I'd love 2076 01:56:56.199 --> 01:56:58.079 to be able to play the codeine cough syrup, but 2077 01:56:58.439 --> 01:57:01.720 as I pointed out before, I didn't have any of that. 2078 01:57:03.359 --> 01:57:06.920 Feel free call it is Friday, folks. I hope you 2079 01:57:06.920 --> 01:57:11.920 can appreciate the potentially lower bar of seriousness I'm engaged 2080 01:57:11.920 --> 01:57:14.039 in the day again. I'm struggling with this cough. It's 2081 01:57:14.039 --> 01:57:16.319 eight thirty five.

What a wonderful thing listener lunch was 2086 01:57:31.760 --> 01:57:34.520 this week at Ron's rus really enjoyed the celebration and 2087 01:57:34.600 --> 01:57:37.319 of course the company. And it's always a real pleasure 2088 01:57:37.319 --> 01:57:40.439 when Andrew Pappis, former Anderson Township Trustee, can swing by 2089 01:57:40.520 --> 01:57:43.119 even for a little bit. Drew, Andrews great sceneing he 2090 01:57:43.199 --> 01:57:45.560 did this this week, and thanks for calling this morning. 2091 01:57:46.479 --> 01:57:48.800 You know what, Brian, it really was great seeing you 2092 01:57:49.039 --> 01:57:52.399 and seeing all those smiling faces over there at Ron's 2093 01:57:52.439 --> 01:57:56.039 Roost was really amazing. It was, and there were a 2094 01:57:56.079 --> 01:57:59.479 lot of tired faces, not gonna lie, everybody was kind 2095 01:57:59.479 --> 01:58:04.279 of dragging, including that, but yeah, but you know what, 2096 01:58:04.359 --> 01:58:07.159 it was well worth it. And uh, not to gloat 2097 01:58:07.760 --> 01:58:11.239 too terribly much, but you know, the sun seems a 2098 01:58:11.279 --> 01:58:14.439 little brighter today, the air seems a little fresher today, 2099 01:58:15.159 --> 01:58:20.880 and America definitely is waking up to a very bright future. 2100 01:58:20.960 --> 01:58:22.560 In my very humble opinion. 2101 01:58:23.159 --> 01:58:25.439 But I was gonna I was gonna just say I 2102 01:58:25.439 --> 01:58:28.840 didn't get a chance to tell you I really enjoyed 2103 01:58:28.840 --> 01:58:32.479 earlier this week having Christopher Smith Amen there in studio 2104 01:58:32.840 --> 01:58:36.039 rather than on the phone. I mean, I Christopher and 2105 01:58:36.119 --> 01:58:39.560 I get along very well. We don't agree on every issue. 2106 01:58:39.640 --> 01:58:43.279 That does but and that's the beauty of America. And 2107 01:58:43.520 --> 01:58:48.279 I really enjoy Christopher's perspective on things and the way 2108 01:58:48.319 --> 01:58:52.119 he might help me look at things differently and vice versa. 2109 01:58:52.399 --> 01:58:55.159 And I really think that hopefully that might be a 2110 01:58:55.199 --> 01:58:58.760 trend to continue, because, as you you know, as I know, 2111 01:58:59.479 --> 01:59:02.159 being in is a little bit easier sometimes than being 2112 01:59:02.159 --> 01:59:02.720 on the phone. 2113 01:59:02.760 --> 01:59:04.680 Absolutely, I love when people are in the city, look 2114 01:59:04.680 --> 01:59:06.640 at me in the eye, have a regular conversation which 2115 01:59:06.680 --> 01:59:09.159 the listeners can enjoy. And you don't have that. You know, 2116 01:59:09.319 --> 01:59:11.760 quite often the cell phone breaks down or you know, 2117 01:59:11.800 --> 01:59:14.319 all the complication goes along with it, but there's really 2118 01:59:14.760 --> 01:59:19.520 no substitute for face to face communication. So I also 2119 01:59:19.680 --> 01:59:22.399 welcome the opportunity for that to happen. And you know, 2120 01:59:22.439 --> 01:59:25.000 he's got obligations with him getting his daughter to school, 2121 01:59:25.119 --> 01:59:26.880 and of course he has his own business as a 2122 01:59:26.880 --> 01:59:29.399 financial planner. So I'm not going to put any pressure 2123 01:59:29.399 --> 01:59:31.159 on him, but you know, as far as I'm concerned, 2124 01:59:31.159 --> 01:59:33.119 the door is wide open for that to happen again 2125 01:59:33.159 --> 01:59:34.039 and more regularly. 2126 01:59:35.079 --> 01:59:38.520 It's good to hear because, as I said, I really 2127 01:59:38.560 --> 01:59:40.920 and I think all your listeners. As a matter of fact, 2128 01:59:40.920 --> 01:59:43.119 I know all of your listeners, and I did hear 2129 01:59:43.159 --> 01:59:46.840 the listener yesterday that kind of seemed to catch everybody 2130 01:59:46.840 --> 01:59:49.640 off guard, how he's not going to listen anymore. He 2131 01:59:49.760 --> 01:59:53.800 was upset and whatever. But you know, I'm seeing I 2132 01:59:53.840 --> 01:59:56.880 am enjoying, and I hope the listeners are. I've been 2133 01:59:56.920 --> 02:00:01.199 going to the Libs of TikTok and watching the meltdowns 2134 02:00:01.199 --> 02:00:05.239 of the Liberals over the election yesterday or tuesday, and 2135 02:00:05.640 --> 02:00:08.159 I got to tell you, it's quite enjoyable. It's providing 2136 02:00:08.199 --> 02:00:11.119 me with hours and hours and hours of entertainment. 2137 02:00:12.239 --> 02:00:12.560 People. 2138 02:00:13.720 --> 02:00:15.680 You know, it's it's just an you know, it's an 2139 02:00:15.760 --> 02:00:18.600 argument for perhaps that we really need to focus on 2140 02:00:18.720 --> 02:00:22.520 mental illness in this country because it's on display, and 2141 02:00:23.039 --> 02:00:27.000 you know, listens as you and I, perhaps at least 2142 02:00:27.000 --> 02:00:29.039 me myself. I won't speak for you, but you know 2143 02:00:29.079 --> 02:00:31.720 I was upset the last four years and you know, 2144 02:00:31.760 --> 02:00:34.840 if you look at the poll or the election results, 2145 02:00:35.000 --> 02:00:39.920 and you look at the election of twenty twenty, you 2146 02:00:40.000 --> 02:00:42.399 really do begin to wonder where did all those votes, 2147 02:00:42.439 --> 02:00:44.640 extra votes for Biden come from. I'm not here to 2148 02:00:44.800 --> 02:00:46.560 you know, we're not going to refight that, but I 2149 02:00:46.600 --> 02:00:48.920 mean it does make you task to John Dee Aiah 2150 02:00:48.920 --> 02:00:50.720 and you're like, holy cow, where did you know his 2151 02:00:50.840 --> 02:00:53.720 vote suddenly appeared? And then the next election they're gone 2152 02:00:53.760 --> 02:00:59.079 into the ether. But I will say this the amount 2153 02:00:59.119 --> 02:01:04.159 of entertainment simply watching people unable to process their emotions. 2154 02:01:04.199 --> 02:01:06.640 I didn't like the twenty twenty elections, but you didn't 2155 02:01:06.640 --> 02:01:10.159 see me flipping out, you know, bearing my soul and 2156 02:01:10.279 --> 02:01:12.920 crying and gnashing of teeth. I just put my head down, 2157 02:01:12.960 --> 02:01:15.199 went back to work and you know, lived my life. 2158 02:01:15.319 --> 02:01:18.399 I'm not going to let an election dictate my happiness. 2159 02:01:18.439 --> 02:01:20.840 It might I might be upset, but you know life 2160 02:01:20.920 --> 02:01:21.279 goes on. 2161 02:01:21.560 --> 02:01:25.079 Yes, it does, absolutely. And it's an excellent point you're 2162 02:01:25.119 --> 02:01:27.520 making there, because you know, if I've always pointed out, 2163 02:01:28.039 --> 02:01:30.319 if you allow the other side, and it doesn't matter 2164 02:01:30.319 --> 02:01:32.239 which side of the political spectrum you're on, you know, 2165 02:01:32.239 --> 02:01:34.760 we'll say there's two sides. We know there's more than that. 2166 02:01:34.800 --> 02:01:37.600 But if you let the other side get so under 2167 02:01:37.600 --> 02:01:40.840 your skin that it's impacting your life, your emotions, your 2168 02:01:40.840 --> 02:01:44.960 relationships with your family. We're talking about politics here, for 2169 02:01:45.000 --> 02:01:48.520 God's sake. That means they've won. You can chalk them 2170 02:01:48.600 --> 02:01:51.720 up with a little hashtag victory mark on their side 2171 02:01:52.039 --> 02:01:54.760 because they've gotten simply under your skin and made your 2172 02:01:54.800 --> 02:01:57.439 life miserable. Don't allow them to do that. I mean 2173 02:01:57.600 --> 02:02:00.840 I was happy under the Obama administration. Know that I 2174 02:02:00.840 --> 02:02:02.920 think the world was come to an end. No that 2175 02:02:03.079 --> 02:02:06.079 I cry, No, of course not. You know, was I 2176 02:02:06.119 --> 02:02:09.159 happy in the aftermath of the Trump administration across the board? No, 2177 02:02:09.560 --> 02:02:11.960 the guy spent five trillion dollars more than he took in. 2178 02:02:12.159 --> 02:02:14.319 That pissed me off. I can't avoid that, and I 2179 02:02:14.359 --> 02:02:17.359 know it might happen again, but Lord knows. At least 2180 02:02:17.359 --> 02:02:19.560 with the idea of the guy like Elon Musk being 2181 02:02:19.600 --> 02:02:23.319 around and promising to curb the size of government, there 2182 02:02:23.399 --> 02:02:27.279 is a possibility. With Republicans government hopefully got the House, 2183 02:02:27.279 --> 02:02:29.960 they've already got the cent and the presidency. Maybe we 2184 02:02:30.000 --> 02:02:33.199 can bring pressure to bear on the right side of 2185 02:02:33.199 --> 02:02:36.000 the Ledger to actually engage in some cutting, so we're 2186 02:02:36.079 --> 02:02:39.960 not overspending ourselves into oblivion. Lord almight know. 2187 02:02:40.039 --> 02:02:42.079 And I got and I got to say the two 2188 02:02:42.119 --> 02:02:45.960 things I'm most excited about, and I'm stunned. I'm actually 2189 02:02:46.000 --> 02:02:48.600 a little surprised, I'm saying it. You mentioned one of them. 2190 02:02:49.039 --> 02:02:52.399 I'm most excited about Elon Musk and putting his brain 2191 02:02:52.520 --> 02:02:56.319 power and insight into the workings of government. Maybe, but 2192 02:02:56.600 --> 02:02:58.840 you know, you know the one I'm really excited about. 2193 02:02:58.920 --> 02:03:01.479 And I mean, I'm stunned I'm saying this. I really am. 2194 02:03:01.840 --> 02:03:05.520 I'm excited about Robert F. Kennedy Junior puting an eye 2195 02:03:05.560 --> 02:03:10.039 to the FDA and our food supply because I you know, 2196 02:03:10.159 --> 02:03:13.000 I don't agree with him on a lot of issues. Yeah, yeah, 2197 02:03:13.039 --> 02:03:16.920 but I respect the man's knowledge and I respect his 2198 02:03:16.920 --> 02:03:21.560 his insight into health and wellness because look at him. 2199 02:03:21.600 --> 02:03:24.039 The man is a physical specimen. And I got to 2200 02:03:24.079 --> 02:03:28.960 tell you he knows his business. And I'm really excited 2201 02:03:29.000 --> 02:03:29.439 about that. 2202 02:03:29.880 --> 02:03:30.079 Yeah. 2203 02:03:30.479 --> 02:03:33.279 I share your excitement. I think I've mentioned before you're 2204 02:03:33.319 --> 02:03:36.079 like Elon Musk. I think he's a great guy. He's goofy, 2205 02:03:36.600 --> 02:03:39.279 He's done some goofy stuff, and he's an out of 2206 02:03:39.279 --> 02:03:41.760 the box kind of weird, sort of outlier guy, but 2207 02:03:41.920 --> 02:03:48.239 overall demonstrably brilliant and he is a problem solver and 2208 02:03:48.279 --> 02:03:50.840 he knows how to run a business. So that's me excited. 2209 02:03:51.000 --> 02:03:53.319 But I feel the same way about RFK Junior. He's 2210 02:03:53.319 --> 02:03:54.880 on the wrong side of the Ledger for me, with 2211 02:03:54.920 --> 02:03:57.479 the Green New Deal kind of crap. But yeah, he's 2212 02:03:58.199 --> 02:04:01.439 intelligent and what will he do? Much like Christopher Smith 2213 02:04:01.439 --> 02:04:04.199 of an Independent, he comes from a different side of 2214 02:04:04.239 --> 02:04:07.159 the political spectrum of a certain degree, and he offers 2215 02:04:07.319 --> 02:04:11.159 an alternative perspective that will at least get us engaged 2216 02:04:11.199 --> 02:04:14.600 in a conversation about it. It's not an echo chamber 2217 02:04:14.640 --> 02:04:17.199 when you've got an administration that's conservat and presumably the 2218 02:04:17.199 --> 02:04:20.439 Trump administration will be. You got RFK Junior in there 2219 02:04:20.479 --> 02:04:22.239 stirring the pod a little bit. It's going to force 2220 02:04:22.279 --> 02:04:25.760 people to actually talk about it. I want that it's 2221 02:04:25.760 --> 02:04:26.880 good for the country. 2222 02:04:26.600 --> 02:04:27.279 And argue with that. 2223 02:04:28.079 --> 02:04:31.880 There's no point what I've learned through my very brief 2224 02:04:32.319 --> 02:04:35.399 career in politics and on this planet, you know, being 2225 02:04:35.439 --> 02:04:37.600 in a room with the people with you know, ten 2226 02:04:37.640 --> 02:04:39.439 people that agree with you, and you all are just 2227 02:04:39.479 --> 02:04:42.399 sitting there around saying, oh, yeah, we're right. We're right, 2228 02:04:42.760 --> 02:04:45.000 really doesn't move the ball down the field. You have 2229 02:04:45.079 --> 02:04:47.359 to open up your perspective a little bit. I mean, 2230 02:04:47.399 --> 02:04:51.119 I'm not saying give up your principles, but man, you know, 2231 02:04:51.199 --> 02:04:54.640 welcome in some outside perspectives. And that's the amazing thing 2232 02:04:54.680 --> 02:04:57.199 about the most amazing thing about this Trump campaign is 2233 02:04:57.239 --> 02:05:01.159 the coalition of really different bring views that have come 2234 02:05:01.199 --> 02:05:04.119 together to put this man over the finish line. And 2235 02:05:04.239 --> 02:05:07.920 I think the next four years are hopefully going to 2236 02:05:07.920 --> 02:05:10.479 be truly transformative for not only our country, but for 2237 02:05:10.600 --> 02:05:11.600 politics in general. 2238 02:05:12.039 --> 02:05:14.960 Amen to that, Andrew Pappas, thank you so much for calling. 2239 02:05:15.039 --> 02:05:17.920 I truly appreciate you listening to the program and chiming 2240 02:05:17.960 --> 02:05:20.000 in from time to time.

You're 2252 02:06:14.119 --> 02:06:18.359 just not looking close enough. God bless all my listeners 2253 02:06:18.359 --> 02:06:21.960 out there. And I'm going to jump over to the 2254 02:06:21.960 --> 02:06:24.039 phones because Janet is on the line. Janet, I saw 2255 02:06:24.079 --> 02:06:26.640 the article this morning. I even mentioned about the racist 2256 02:06:26.680 --> 02:06:29.039 text messages. There was a local story about it, but 2257 02:06:29.439 --> 02:06:33.079 apparently they went out to New York, Alabama, California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, 2258 02:06:33.119 --> 02:06:37.560 and Tennessee talk about plantations and was sent to black people. 2259 02:06:38.239 --> 02:06:40.840 Just absolutely appalling. Welcome to the show. I'm glad you 2260 02:06:40.840 --> 02:06:41.520 brought this up. 2261 02:06:42.720 --> 02:06:47.359 Well, Brian, I think it was so blatantly obvious that 2262 02:06:47.560 --> 02:06:52.319 it's somebody anti Trump, anti Trump supporters. Clearly it was 2263 02:06:52.319 --> 02:06:56.079 signed a hashtag. It was signed a hashtag mega hashtag 2264 02:06:56.119 --> 02:07:00.000 Trump supporters. Come on, people, let's don't let them divide. 2265 02:07:00.479 --> 02:07:01.720 Okay, there are. 2266 02:07:02.079 --> 02:07:05.880 You know, let me explain the access of evil. I 2267 02:07:06.000 --> 02:07:11.199 ran China, Russia. Okay, those are the enemies, not US. Okay, 2268 02:07:11.239 --> 02:07:15.760 it's not black against white. Please wake up, Please do 2269 02:07:15.840 --> 02:07:19.439 not let this cause problems. These are haters that are 2270 02:07:19.680 --> 02:07:23.720 have great angst. It could be pro African American outfits. 2271 02:07:23.840 --> 02:07:25.880 It could be anybody. It could be somebody on the 2272 02:07:25.880 --> 02:07:28.119 other side of the continent. It could be China. It 2273 02:07:28.159 --> 02:07:33.520 could But you know, after Russia Gate, it sounds so stupid, 2274 02:07:34.000 --> 02:07:36.880 the whole thing. I don't want to detail, you know, 2275 02:07:37.159 --> 02:07:39.520 the stuff that was so hanos so the prostitutes with 2276 02:07:39.800 --> 02:07:42.840 Trump put the prostitutes in the Russian bult crap. It 2277 02:07:42.920 --> 02:07:46.800 sounds a lot like that. It's that blatantly racist. I 2278 02:07:46.840 --> 02:07:50.119 don't know how can anybody fall for something that. 2279 02:07:50.439 --> 02:07:54.880 Honestly, Janet, you're right, and let's just move back a step. 2280 02:07:55.319 --> 02:07:58.880 Do you really think even any individual out there who's 2281 02:07:58.960 --> 02:08:02.119 screaming about how this is some kind of reflection, a 2282 02:08:02.119 --> 02:08:05.159 reflection of Maga folks or Trump support anything, do you 2283 02:08:05.239 --> 02:08:08.479 really think they believe what's coming out of their mouth, 2284 02:08:08.560 --> 02:08:11.640 Given how easy it is to do exactly what was done. 2285 02:08:12.239 --> 02:08:15.399 We've got everybody in the world on TikTok. They have 2286 02:08:15.640 --> 02:08:19.319 vacuumed up literally every ounce of information on your phone. 2287 02:08:19.399 --> 02:08:22.640 In that particular case, the Chinese Communist Party, it's you're 2288 02:08:22.680 --> 02:08:25.079 the one who've given them all the information. So yes, 2289 02:08:25.520 --> 02:08:28.920 they know what race you are, they know what religion 2290 02:08:29.000 --> 02:08:31.159 you are They know what political side of the ledger 2291 02:08:31.239 --> 02:08:34.560 you want, They know all about you. It doesn't require 2292 02:08:34.680 --> 02:08:38.239 some maga group to send this out, although it's possible 2293 02:08:38.279 --> 02:08:41.039 they could, it wouldn't be in their best interest. And yeah, 2294 02:08:41.119 --> 02:08:44.119 are there racists in the world, Yes, would they benefit 2295 02:08:44.159 --> 02:08:46.720 by stirring the pot and bringing attention to themselves to 2296 02:08:46.920 --> 02:08:48.800 doing this because you know the FBI and others are 2297 02:08:48.800 --> 02:08:51.119 going to be looking into it. Hell no, they wouldn't. 2298 02:08:51.479 --> 02:08:55.800 It's ridiculous, it's a hoax, it's stupid, it's offensive, and 2299 02:08:55.920 --> 02:08:58.399 let's just call it what it is, just one more 2300 02:08:58.479 --> 02:09:01.439 effort to piss people off and stir the pot of division. 2301 02:09:01.520 --> 02:09:04.840 As you point out, Janet, let's enjoy our weekend. Let's 2302 02:09:04.840 --> 02:09:07.800 live in peace and harmony. Let's put our political differences aside, 2303 02:09:07.880 --> 02:09:10.319 or at least collectively try to work toward a better 2304 02:09:10.359 --> 02:09:16.000 place for all of us without this ridiculous fake stirred 2305 02:09:16.119 --> 02:09:17.640 up division. 2306 02:09:18.319 --> 02:09:22.239 It could be hostile from other from either side anywhere. 2307 02:09:22.520 --> 02:09:24.359 Absolutely No, that's the point of it. 2308 02:09:24.479 --> 02:09:26.159 You make multiple sides. 2309 02:09:26.760 --> 02:09:31.560 Our enemies are, Our enemies are not each other. Please people, 2310 02:09:31.680 --> 02:09:34.760 just please, I wish we should. I don't know how 2311 02:09:34.800 --> 02:09:39.239 much to stress that we cannot let that kind of thing. 2312 02:09:39.319 --> 02:09:43.720 We've got to understand who the enemies of America are. 2313 02:09:43.760 --> 02:09:46.520 They fear Trump because they know he is going for 2314 02:09:46.680 --> 02:09:49.800 as far as born domestic policies go. He's going to 2315 02:09:49.840 --> 02:09:52.600 clean their clocks if if he needs to. 2316 02:09:52.880 --> 02:09:54.439 We'll see, he's going to do what it takes. 2317 02:09:54.560 --> 02:09:57.199 We'll see. As far as that goes, we're tea leaf reading. 2318 02:09:57.199 --> 02:09:59.680 But as far as our reaction to that particular ridiculous 2319 02:09:59.720 --> 02:10:01.840 text goes, I think we should all just write it 2320 02:10:01.880 --> 02:10:04.039 off as just one more in a long line of 2321 02:10:04.159 --> 02:10:08.479 fake Oh, I almost dropped an FCC bomb there.
