Speaker 1: All right, twelve, We'll wait. It's the average American in
Speaker 1: for the great American on this Monday. Welcome to you,
Speaker 1: however you may be listening on this great medium of
Speaker 1: terrestrial radio or perhaps the iHeartRadio app. We welcome you
Speaker 1: in to a very uneasy time in our country's history.
Speaker 1: Fox News is reporting at this hour that there is
Speaker 1: an imminent threat of an attack on a US air
Speaker 1: base in Cutter, and all airspace Overcutter has been shut
Speaker 1: down by that particular government. That is the latest from
Speaker 1: Fox News. All of this, of course, in the wake
Speaker 1: of the attack on Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend
Speaker 1: by President Donald Trump. He battles that as international law,
Speaker 1: he bottles in his own country. Congress, that's upset because
Speaker 1: he did not follow the War Powers Act, although honestly
Speaker 1: it looks like he covered his butt to me. But nevertheless,
Speaker 1: the Democrats are all in a tizzy and several Republicans too,
Speaker 1: about what appears to be another another march into the
Speaker 1: most unstable area in the world. Is this Iraq all
Speaker 1: over again? Is this Afghanistan all over again? And if
Speaker 1: it is, what of that? And if it isn't, do
Speaker 1: we really want to get involved? With boots on the ground.
Speaker 1: Do we really want to get involved with nation building,
Speaker 1: which we are not as a country very good at
Speaker 1: so politically and internationally, there's a lot going on at
Speaker 1: this hour. And whenever things start to break crazy, and
Speaker 1: whenever things get to get out of hand, there's only
Speaker 1: one man I want to hear from, and he's standing
Speaker 1: by right now. He's our good friend, Kennon Spivak. He
Speaker 1: writes for real clear Politics, Real clear Policy. I wanted
Speaker 1: Kennan not on a completely different subject on this day,
Speaker 1: but here we are as to where we are, and Kennan,
Speaker 1: how are you on this glorious Monday.
Speaker 2: I am absolutely fantastic because what President Trump did.
Speaker 1: I think this is exactly what needed to be done.
Speaker 1: We have enabled that country, We've enabled that regime with
Speaker 1: palettes of cash and laissez faire over the course of
Speaker 1: the last twenty years.
Speaker 3: And now here we are.
Speaker 1: And he took a shot, in fact, he took a
Speaker 1: lot of shots and probably set that country back enormously
Speaker 1: in its ability to develop a nuclear weapon. But desperate
Speaker 1: people do desperate things in desperate times, and that's where
Speaker 1: we are right now. With what Iran may or may
Speaker 1: not do at this point, let me just ask you
Speaker 1: about that. We all have to be vigilant. The United
Speaker 1: States has to be on its toes. Trump is not
Speaker 1: a dumb guy. He had to know that this would
Speaker 1: be coming.
Speaker 4: I'm just going to ask you, with a guy that
Speaker 4: has very little support outside of MAGA, at this point,
Speaker 4: do you think he's okay? Do you think this country's okay?
Speaker 2: First, I think every one of the risks that you
Speaker 2: listed for this course of action is one hundred percent correct.
Speaker 2: Much much as I am thrilled that the President took
Speaker 2: this action, you really hit on the large number of risks,
Speaker 2: including the risk which I think doesn't apply here, that
Speaker 2: the intelligence on where Iran stood was like the intelligence
Speaker 2: on Iraq, incorrect. I do think that President Trump is
Speaker 2: aware of the risk that Iran will retaliate. The missiles
Speaker 2: that Israel has taken out are the longer range missiles
Speaker 2: that can hit Israel, and Israel has largely degraded that capability.
Speaker 2: But Israel has not been taking out Iran's capability of
Speaker 2: shooting shorter range missiles, which can hit many US military
Speaker 2: installations near Iran. I think we should be prepared for
Speaker 2: Iranian retaliation. I don't think they're going to listen to
Speaker 2: the President's suggestion that they avoid that. I think this
Speaker 2: war or this action will expand I think there will
Speaker 2: do more US retaliation. I pray hope that there are
Speaker 2: no boots on the ground. I pray and hope that
Speaker 2: the US does not attempt nation building. If the regime
Speaker 2: is destabilized in changes, that's great, But we don't need
Speaker 2: to have a direct effort in that direction. We need
Speaker 2: to the maximum extent possible to keep this inn air endeavor,
Speaker 2: and I think that we can.
Speaker 1: I think I understand the reason why. If indeed we
Speaker 1: know where Homani is and we know where he's hiding,
Speaker 1: I think I understand the reason why they didn't touch him.
Speaker 1: Number One, they don't want a similar situation on their
Speaker 1: hands with Trump. But number two, in the absence of power,
Speaker 1: and that's what they have there, you would have chaos.
Speaker 1: That's what they had in Iraq. And if indeed that
Speaker 1: regime calls the best change, the best new regime would
Speaker 1: come from within. There has to be some sort of
Speaker 1: intelligence that there is of coalition that could be built
Speaker 1: quickly inside of Iran. Again, I don't think Trump did
Speaker 1: this without having that at his fingertips.
Speaker 3: Would you agree? I do.
Speaker 2: There are reports today, particularly in the Israeli press, that
Speaker 2: opposition groups in Iran are already coalescing to take steps
Speaker 2: through There actually is a congress that has the right
Speaker 2: to vote and remove the Supreme Leader in Iran, and
Speaker 2: there are apparently steps underway to have it. I guess
Speaker 2: this would technically be peacefully remove the Supreme Leader and
Speaker 2: replace him with someone.
Speaker 3: Who would not be more radical.
Speaker 2: There are also two external opposition groups, one led by
Speaker 2: the Shah's former Shaw's son and another the NCRI Party,
Speaker 2: which is led by a woman who lives in Paris.
Speaker 2: So there are a number of alternatives that would be
Speaker 2: less radical risks ski is the alternatives that would be
Speaker 2: more radical. And I don't think we know what's going
Speaker 2: to come next, and I think that's the greatest uncertainty
Speaker 2: in the steps that Trump took the other day.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get domestically on all of this. You know,
Speaker 1: I find the reaction of Democrats amusing at times this
Speaker 1: time maybe troubling. It's almost as if what Trump did
Speaker 1: never happened before under a Democrat president. And of course,
Speaker 1: as you and I have talked about before, that's a
Speaker 1: party that is devoid of any ideas except get Trump,
Speaker 1: hate Trump, and peach Trump, stop Orange Man any way possible.
Speaker 1: In twenty eleven, I mean, you have Obama proved a
Speaker 1: massive military campaign against Libya. They're all upset about the
Speaker 1: World Powers Act not being.
Speaker 3: Honored. Well, the War Powers Act.
Speaker 1: There have been one hundred and some odd military campaigns
Speaker 1: since the last time the Worst Power Act was enacted,
Speaker 1: and that was World War two and nineteen forty two.
Speaker 1: Clinton bypassed it. Obama bypassed it a couple of times.
Speaker 1: So I don't think that there's any firm or legal
Speaker 1: ground than Trump can be on for what he just did.
Speaker 1: But if you notice, it's kind of like the same
Speaker 1: old thing. Democrats are yelling and screaming and running around
Speaker 1: and lighting their hair on fire. But again, like most things,
Speaker 1: they have no alternative, do they.
Speaker 2: They really don't. Now, you know, because I've done this
Speaker 2: on your show before. When I get to elite my
Speaker 2: legal analysis, I really try to avoid my political perspective.
Speaker 2: Unles's the right and wrong thing. I'm going to try
Speaker 2: to do that again right now. First, on the War
Speaker 2: Powers Act, it almost certainly is unconstitutional. The Constitution provides
Speaker 2: that Congress declears war, and the way that that was
Speaker 2: understood initially had to do with a political state of
Speaker 2: affairs between the United States and other countries. It wasn't
Speaker 2: about the use of force. It's not the current meaning.
Speaker 2: But even in the meaning of declaring war as war,
Speaker 2: that's an all out use of force. I don't think
Speaker 2: the War Powers Act is constitutional. Set complied with the
Speaker 2: War Powers Act, which requires notification and has thirty and
Speaker 2: sixty day periods for his use of force. Depending upon
Speaker 2: what Congress does, he may be about to not comply
Speaker 2: with it, but so far he's complied with it. And
Speaker 2: to your last point, which is true, there have been
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty military actions that did not utilize
Speaker 2: a declaration of war by Congress, and many of which
Speaker 2: were out of compliance with the War Powers Act. So
Speaker 2: if we look at this based on custom practice history,
Speaker 2: Trump has actually come closer. Actually, I think he's fully
Speaker 2: complied so far with the War Powers Act compared to
Speaker 2: Obama and Clinton and other presidents. I think we're going
Speaker 2: to see that if Congress does not approve of the
Speaker 2: use of force, that this president will go out of
Speaker 2: compliance with the War Powers Act. But I do believe
Speaker 2: that at his constitutional and it's traditional.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well Obama did that. He asked for authorization. I
Speaker 1: think in twenty thirteen they said no. He went ahead
Speaker 1: and did it anyway. Ready, And you're right even under
Speaker 1: the if you we want to take the letter of
Speaker 1: the War Powers Act again, correct me if I'm wrong,
Speaker 1: Trump or any president has sixty days and then another
Speaker 1: thirty on top of that for him to wind down.
Speaker 1: But he basically, without congressional approval, could do what he
Speaker 1: did under a sixty to thirty proposition.
Speaker 2: Right right, he's right now in compliance. I think he's
Speaker 2: going to go out of compliance. I don't want to
Speaker 2: say otherwise, but he's in compliance. But there's a second point.
Speaker 2: And I know that Senator Tim Kaine has a cock
Speaker 2: and Mimi Peryo that what I'm about to say is wrong.
Speaker 2: There was a congressional use of force measure passed after
Speaker 2: September eleventh, and it includes a broad range of players
Speaker 2: that were involved in that problem. And that is the
Speaker 2: use of force under which Obama and Clinton and the
Speaker 2: Bushes to some degree justify the second Bush, not the first,
Speaker 2: justified some of his actions.
Speaker 5: I believe that the action.
Speaker 2: Against Iran is justified under that it's called an AUFM,
Speaker 2: and Cain says that he went to Congress during Trump's
Speaker 2: last term and got congressional agreement that that AUFM doesn't
Speaker 2: apply to Iran. I think that Kane is a bit delusional,
Speaker 2: and I think if you add the AUFM, Trump is
Speaker 2: not only in compliance with the War Powers Act, not
Speaker 2: only in compliance with the Constitution, but has a specific
Speaker 2: congressional authorization for this use of force.
Speaker 1: Well, chatting with Kenn Spivak, Real clear policy, Real clear politics. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the topic of the weekend is the bombing of Iran.
Speaker 1: The markets don't seem phase by this, They're you know,
Speaker 1: they're percolated right along today. I guess the biggest threat
Speaker 1: now other than this imminent threat to a base and
Speaker 1: Cutter State Department just issuing a stay in place warning
Speaker 1: for Americans and Cutter. Other than that, I think there's
Speaker 1: two ways that Iran gets back at US or anyone else.
Speaker 1: One is they try and patrol the Strait of Hormuz,
Speaker 1: which I think they're going to have other problems with
Speaker 1: that besides the United States. And two is some sort
Speaker 1: of cyber attack on this country or with one of
Speaker 1: the major grids, water power, whatever it may be. I
Speaker 1: think I sense that those two things are probably more
Speaker 1: likely than aaran trying to hurl missiles at the United States.
Speaker 1: I don't think they have the capability to do it
Speaker 1: now anyway, if they ever did. I think those are
Speaker 1: the two big things I think we should look for now,
Speaker 1: don't you.
Speaker 2: Yes, I agree with you. I want to be pragmatic here.
Speaker 2: War has consequences in people on both sides of the
Speaker 2: war or skirmish, whatever we want to refer to what
Speaker 2: we've done get hurt. Unfortunately and sadly, I expect some
Speaker 2: Americans may die and others will be hurt. We have
Speaker 2: to look at what we were doing. It's not about
Speaker 2: helping Israel. It's about preventing a country that has ballistic missiles,
Speaker 2: that has said that it wants to destroy the United States,
Speaker 2: and that whether or not the order was given to
Speaker 2: complete the nuclearization process, was within a few weeks from
Speaker 2: being able to do it once the order was given.
Speaker 2: I want to get away from this Pulsi Gabber discussion.
Speaker 2: They were within a few weeks from a go decision
Speaker 2: to having a nuclear weapon, and probably within some months
Speaker 2: from being able to put it on a ballistic missile.
Speaker 3: What the US has.
Speaker 2: Done here is to avoid the risk of the loss
Speaker 2: of millions and millions of lives, American lives at what
Speaker 2: may be the expense of hundreds of america and lives
Speaker 2: and inconvenience to millions of Americans for a period of time.
Speaker 2: That's what happens in war. We have to balance the alternatives.
Speaker 2: And Donald Trump, who I don't always agree with, I
Speaker 2: completely agree with here and balanced these risks in the
Speaker 2: right way.
Speaker 3: We were the last four years.
Speaker 1: We you know, we had a president in dementia who
Speaker 1: allowed the southern border to open up, and we've got
Speaker 1: god knows how many people from what kind of countries
Speaker 1: are in here. But there is signic, significant data that's
Speaker 1: available that there were significant number of Iranian nationals that
Speaker 1: entered into this country of what age, of what purpose,
Speaker 1: we don't know. Sleeper sales are huge. The FBI is
Speaker 1: on it again. This is this is Post nine to
Speaker 1: eleven all over again. And back then it was it
Speaker 1: was the Taliban, then it became ISIS, but now it's this.
Speaker 1: How confident are you and what the FBI can do
Speaker 1: to try and prevent some sort of go order from
Speaker 1: Tehran to the sleeper sales that undoubtedly exist in this
Speaker 1: country right now.
Speaker 2: No highly confident. Joe Biden was one of the worst
Speaker 2: presidents in American district. He was as a senator, a
Speaker 2: fine man. He was as Vice president adequate. As president,
Speaker 2: he has done so many horrible, terrible things that have
Speaker 2: gravely hurt this nation. And what he did with immigration
Speaker 2: was only the worst of those things. Who knows how
Speaker 2: many sleeper agents dre in the United States. I'm going
Speaker 2: to have to be a little bit repetitious. I expect
Speaker 2: that Americans will be harmed by Iranian retaliation for what
Speaker 2: the US has done and what we're going to do
Speaker 2: when we respond to the first wave of retaliation. I
Speaker 2: do believe, unfortunately Americans will die, They'll be injured, they
Speaker 2: will be inc venions, but a very small number compared
Speaker 2: to the millions who would die if Iran got a
Speaker 2: nuclear weapon, put it on a ballistic missile, and started
Speaker 2: launching those missiles against the United States. It's very sad,
Speaker 2: but we've got to protect all of us, even if,
Speaker 2: unfortunately it means some of us will pay the ultimate price.
Speaker 1: You know, I wanted to have you on today, Kenn
Speaker 1: talking about these Supreme Court decisions. I mean, the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court goes on their vacation the end of this week.
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll get a flurry of decisions from them. But
Speaker 1: you know what, I unfortunately that's a topic for another day.
Speaker 1: But I certainly appreciate your insight and your wisdom on
Speaker 1: all of this. Stay well, keep writing. We need to
Speaker 1: hear your voice, and you know I'll be in contact
Speaker 1: down the road. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: Great thanks Ken Kenn.
Speaker 1: I's feedbacks a spitback. You can find him at RealClearPolitics
Speaker 1: dot com. Pretty sobering Assessment twelve twenty four. It's the
Speaker 1: Average American infant the Great American. This is seven hundred
Speaker 1: WLW twelve thirty seven News Radio, seven hundred WLW. It's
Speaker 1: the Average American in for the Great American. Coming up
Speaker 1: at one oh six, We're going to go to Israel
Speaker 1: and talk to a man who used to be a
Speaker 1: mayor of one of the biggest cities in Israel and
Speaker 1: now he runs a charity fund over there for Israeli
Speaker 1: children injured in the attacks and in the war. And
Speaker 1: we've had David Rubin on before, and I wanted to
Speaker 1: get him on now just to give us a sense
Speaker 1: of what it has been like over there and also
Speaker 1: what he thinks of what the United States did on Saturday,
Speaker 1: which pulled off a massive bombing attack. And now, if
Speaker 1: you have not heard the latest, the airspace Overcutter has
Speaker 1: been closed and there are reports that the United States
Speaker 1: is under eminent attack at a military base in Cutter.
Speaker 1: And one o'clock Donald Trump is convening a meeting of
Speaker 1: his security council. So that's where we stand at this hour.
Speaker 1: But I know the most important thing you're worried about,
Speaker 1: and I think most people are. Despite all that's going
Speaker 1: out of the world and the bombs flying in Iran
Speaker 1: and perhaps what may be happening with Israel and a
Speaker 1: cyber attack in this country, you all want to know
Speaker 1: is will he safe? Is WILLI okay? And is he
Speaker 1: in safe harbor? And let's find out, because he's calling
Speaker 1: into his own show. Where are you and what are
Speaker 1: you doing? At this point?
Speaker 5: Kenverh.
Speaker 6: I can't give my exactly I can't get my exact location,
Speaker 6: but let's face it, at this point, it appears I
Speaker 6: am safe.
Speaker 7: Well, thank God. And one thing, okay, okay, good.
Speaker 4: The last I got the last guy said that got arrested,
Speaker 4: But go ahead.
Speaker 6: Well, you know one of the cries in the radical
Speaker 6: leverage is that somehow Taco Taco Trump Trump always chickened out,
Speaker 6: did not get to the eyetolin. I'm not sure that
Speaker 6: trucks are chicken out. No, would you agree?
Speaker 1: I would agree because if you take that guy out,
Speaker 1: what happens, Chaos ensues, and you probably got Syria in there,
Speaker 1: you probably got the Turks in there to say nothing
Speaker 1: of what might be happening with Russia. So he can't
Speaker 1: take him out because that's the mistake they made in Iraq.
Speaker 1: He's not going to do that again.
Speaker 6: You need someone in charge and negotiate with right, right,
Speaker 6: that's the iyeatola.
Speaker 3: Right. Well, what bothers me about this.
Speaker 1: What bothers me about this is is you got all
Speaker 1: these Democrats and a few Republicans running around about Trump
Speaker 1: violated the Warthpowers Act. Probably he certainly did not. He's
Speaker 1: got sixty days to do whatever the hell he wants
Speaker 1: before he has to invoke a War Powers Act. The
Speaker 1: last time the War's Powered Act was enacted was in
Speaker 1: nineteen forty two, and since then over one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty military campaigns have been conducted. And even when Obama
Speaker 1: went to Congress and sought the War Powers Act and
Speaker 1: they said no, he went ahead and did it anyway
Speaker 1: what he wanted to do. So this whole thing about
Speaker 1: it's all you know what, Bill, I'm going to say
Speaker 1: this and then I'll let you talk, because it is
Speaker 1: your show, after all, since twenty fifteen, Since twenty fifteen,
Speaker 1: the Democrats have done one thing, Get Trump, Trump, bad
Speaker 1: evil Trump, Stop Orange Man, do it anyway possible, get Trump,
Speaker 1: and they come up with no ideas.
Speaker 3: Of their own.
Speaker 4: If you asked AOC and Chuck Schumer and all these people, well,
Speaker 4: what would you have done? They wouldn't tell you because
Speaker 4: they don't want to tell you because they don't want
Speaker 4: it on their record. And that's the story of that
Speaker 4: party since twenty fifteen.
Speaker 3: Go right ahead, Ken Burw.
Speaker 6: I look at ten years ago. You might remember ten
Speaker 6: years ago and back a year ago, Syria was controlled
Speaker 6: by Bashar Alisad the hands below. I was shooting missiles
Speaker 6: for Levity. A Mossa was in charge. That's still called Gaza,
Speaker 6: and we had difficulties to in a rack. And now
Speaker 6: look where we are today, Cox Americana, I call it
Speaker 6: Trump Americana proliferates throughout the world. There'll be a few
Speaker 6: little things happening, but in reality, America is strong and brave.
Speaker 6: We're like the Colossus of Rhodes. I call it the
Speaker 6: Colossus of Trump. We live in the world of Trump,
Speaker 6: and everyone else is looking for excuses to get out.
Speaker 6: But I love what's happening, and eventually it'll be a
Speaker 6: great deal.
Speaker 1: Let me let me just say this, because the last
Speaker 1: guy that was in charge charge, well he wasn't in charge.
Speaker 1: The last guy living in the White House led an
Speaker 1: unprecedented number of illegal aliens into this country, of which
Speaker 1: a large number were Iranians to come here to do
Speaker 1: whatever God knows what. But they're here, and I don't
Speaker 1: think they were Iranians under the ruling of the Shaw,
Speaker 1: because you would have to be basically over fifty to
Speaker 1: have known what the Shaw and the Shaw was all about.
Speaker 1: These are people that were under the rule of the
Speaker 1: nutball clerics that have run that country for the last
Speaker 1: forty five years. So they're here, and I worry about
Speaker 1: a ghost sign from Tehran for sleeper cells in places
Speaker 1: like Pittsburgh or Buffalo a Dallas or Westchester wherever it
Speaker 1: may be a ghost sign and say, okay, now do
Speaker 1: what we sent you over there to do. And I'm
Speaker 1: not quite convinced that the FBI, which you know, they've
Speaker 1: only had cash betel there for the last three or
Speaker 1: four months, I'm not sure they're up to the task
Speaker 1: of what might be coming with Iran and sleeper cells.
Speaker 5: What are your thoughts, Denver, Let's give the American people
Speaker 5: a history lesson about a year ago, when the feckless
Speaker 5: has late to arrange, Joe Biden.
Speaker 3: Was in charge.
Speaker 6: He told the American people that Donald Trump was going
Speaker 6: to be assassinated by Iranian hit teams. In nineteen seventy nine,
Speaker 6: the Irani's declared war an American by taking over the
Speaker 6: embassy and keeping hostages for four and forty four days.
Speaker 6: Then four years later, you might recall in the heads
Speaker 6: bela in Lovin and two hundred and fifty Marines were
Speaker 6: killed by the Iranians. And right now there's a thousand
Speaker 6: dead American soldiers in Iraq and two or three thousand
Speaker 6: mortally wounded because of the eyetola. Damn it. They declared
Speaker 6: war on us. And if they want war let's give
Speaker 6: him war.
Speaker 1: Hang on American, Hang on a second, now, hang on
Speaker 1: a secon And are you suggesting that our sons and daughters,
Speaker 1: our grandsons and granddaughters be shipped again to that area
Speaker 1: of the country of that world. I'm sorry, and actually
Speaker 1: go into battle. I don't want that. I don't think
Speaker 1: we need that. I don't want to declare war on anybody.
Speaker 1: I think what he did on Saturday was prudent, was right,
Speaker 1: But I sure as hell don't want to get involved
Speaker 1: in another Iraq or Vietnam or Afghanistan or some other
Speaker 1: nutball reason, do you.
Speaker 6: I'm with you one thousand percent. We got to B one,
Speaker 6: we got to B two, We got the F sixteen,
Speaker 6: we got the F thirty five, we got the war hogs.
Speaker 5: And we got to B one.
Speaker 6: We got all we need militarily to win this war
Speaker 6: with our sons and daughters. Without Matt and Cole and
Speaker 6: Luke and Avery scrapping it up and killing the enemy
Speaker 6: man the man, we can do it. To B one,
Speaker 6: B two.
Speaker 3: We got some.
Speaker 1: We got we got some breaking news here from Qatar
Speaker 1: or Cutter or however you want to pronounce it. Apparently
Speaker 1: there are explosions now in the capital of Qatar. What
Speaker 1: those explosions are, where they may be coming from, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I did not think that Qatar was a
Speaker 1: country that was at odds with Iran. I know they
Speaker 1: weren't particularly they weren't in particularly good terms. Foxes reporting
Speaker 1: that Iran launched six missiles towards a US bass in
Speaker 1: Qatar just a few moments ago.
Speaker 3: So Iran is not going away quietly.
Speaker 6: Bill, No, I don't think the odds hold will ever surrender.
Speaker 6: But they're the ones that started this conflict. I wouldn't
Speaker 6: necessarily call it a war. I'd call it a military action,
Speaker 6: a special military action. They've been killing us now for
Speaker 6: the last four seven years. It's time that we respond.
Speaker 6: He the air, not on the ground.
Speaker 1: Well, it's going to be interesting exactly to see what
Speaker 1: happens next with Trump because Trump is you know, I
Speaker 1: mentioned this. I had a guest on in the twelve
Speaker 1: o'clock hour, good good guy that knows politics and can
Speaker 1: apply it to everyday terms. He can do it with
Speaker 1: great sense. And we both agreed. Donald Trump's not stupid.
Speaker 1: He may be a lot of things, but he's not stupid.
Speaker 1: And so this had a play out in his mind
Speaker 1: as to what would happen next. And so if they're
Speaker 1: launching attacks on the US page, remember the last time
Speaker 1: when he took out sole money, the Iranians responded by
Speaker 1: blowing up an unoccupied shack on a military base. So
Speaker 1: let's see what they're targeting on this military base apparently
Speaker 1: in Qatar. But he's not a stupid guy. This has
Speaker 1: been played out for him in many different ways. And
Speaker 1: my guess is there's an endgame for Trump and it
Speaker 1: may very well involved taking out HARMANI. They he may
Speaker 1: very well have to do that, but as you mentioned,
Speaker 1: you do that, and who are you talking to, because
Speaker 1: you damn will better have somebody lined up there that's
Speaker 1: going to take over and at least provide at least,
Speaker 1: if nothing else, in contact and some sort of support
Speaker 1: for what's left behind, which, to my opinion, is a
Speaker 1: lot of innocent Iranians that are just running around the
Speaker 1: victims of being run by these religious nutballs since nineteen
Speaker 1: seventy nine. But he's played this out, Bill, He knows
Speaker 1: the end game, doesn't he?
Speaker 5: Yes, he does.
Speaker 6: In fact, who's with us? Saudi Arabia UAE goodbye yep, cutter.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Syria, Turkey, Turkey's with US.
Speaker 6: Eelebanese government, Egypt, Pakistan. Now who's with me wrong?
Speaker 3: Well that's a nobody.
Speaker 1: Great question. Here's what's missing, as I'm sure you well
Speaker 1: know there. There is about sixty percent of their un
Speaker 1: enriched uranium is missing in Iran and that could be
Speaker 1: a great bargaining chip for Tehran with other nations like Russia,
Speaker 1: like China. So you know, keep an eye on that
Speaker 1: as well. But you know, the guy that's sitting on
Speaker 1: the throne in Tehran, I don't think he's stupid either.
Speaker 3: I think he's easy. I think he's a knutball, but
Speaker 3: I don't think he's uh.
Speaker 1: He knows what he has and he is desperate. People
Speaker 1: do desperate things in desperate times, and he didn't. He's
Speaker 1: going to fire every single weapon he's got. I agree
Speaker 1: that he's going to go down swinging, but he will
Speaker 1: do something stupid here very soon. And again, I think
Speaker 1: this has all been played out in Washington. I am
Speaker 1: not someone that cuts across political lines on a lot
Speaker 1: of things, but I do on this. I think I
Speaker 1: think that this has been played out, and I think
Speaker 1: they're people on both sides of the aisle that know
Speaker 1: exactly what Donald Trump is up to.
Speaker 3: Would you agree, ken Brew?
Speaker 6: The leadership in Iran is a defficult. They believe in
Speaker 6: killing and death, suicide bombers, and so they want to die.
Speaker 6: It's part of the Geod. So they can spend in Jermany.
Speaker 6: But there's seventy two versions in heaven.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 6: I would tell them, let's arrange the meeting and let
Speaker 6: God swart the good from the back. At the time,
Speaker 6: the war toxins is sounding not on the ground. We
Speaker 6: got the Israelis, we got the Americans, we got the Turks,
Speaker 6: we got the Syrians, we got the Egyptians, We've got
Speaker 6: the Leimanes, we got the Saudi Arabians. We got all
Speaker 6: the help that we need. We got the money, it
Speaker 6: is the time. Now, we got the ring and this thing.
Speaker 3: We got the trophy. We got it all.
Speaker 4: As someone once famously sall right.
Speaker 6: Trump is dead.
Speaker 1: So the headline here is you're okay, And I think
Speaker 1: that brings a great sense of relief to a lot
Speaker 1: of people here in the tri State. And my advice
Speaker 1: to you is stay away from mar A Lago.
Speaker 6: I'm saying about a half a mile away right now.
Speaker 6: Let me wait, let me wait.
Speaker 5: To JD, y JD.
Speaker 6: How you doing, Yeah, JD, I have a meeting.
Speaker 5: I gotta go now.
Speaker 6: But remember, yes, pray to God Almighty for the survival
Speaker 6: of Israel and the defensive Freedom's greatest champion to the
Speaker 6: United States of America.
Speaker 3: All right, Willie, you stay well.
Speaker 1: We'll keep the home fires burning until you get back,
Speaker 1: and hopefully they don't burn the place down in the process.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Bill.
Speaker 6: Dad, I'll be there in a minute.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 3: I got a run, I got a run there.
Speaker 1: He is the man who alleged is on vacation today
Speaker 1: because I'm filling in, buddy, help me. That's called a segment.
Speaker 1: Twelve fifty one News Radio seven hundred WLW twelve fifty
Speaker 1: seven News Radio seven hundred WLW Welcome Back after the News.
Speaker 4: David Rubin, former mayor of Shiloh, Israel, will join us.
Speaker 1: Talk about what has been going on in that country
Speaker 1: most recently, but certainly since October of twenty twenty three,
Speaker 1: and try to get some idea from him exactly what
Speaker 1: he thinks, what the Israelis think as to what happened
Speaker 1: on Saturday when Donald Trump and his Pentagon team decided
Speaker 1: to carry out those bombing missions over Iran's nuclear sites.
Speaker 1: So that's coming up AOC once Donald Trump impeached, and
Speaker 1: she just found someone who agrees with her, and this
Speaker 1: may be what it will take to push it over
Speaker 1: the top and finally get Donald Trump impeached. Ariana Grande
Speaker 1: she wants Trump and peach, just like AOC says. So
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what if Ariana Grande is saying it's
Speaker 1: going to happen. Meanwhile in Washington, DC, to those of
Speaker 1: you who might be sending your children to Georgetown University
Speaker 1: paying the exorbitant tuition to go there, how about this.
Speaker 1: Jonathan A. C. Brown, who is a professor at Georgetown
Speaker 1: of Islamic Civilization, expressed hope for Iran to develop a
Speaker 1: bomb after the United States dealt that devastating damage to
Speaker 1: Iran's nuclear program. This particular professor has over seventy five
Speaker 1: thousand followers on x Here's what.
Speaker 4: He said quote, I'm not an expert. That's always a problem.
Speaker 4: I'm not an expert, but I assume Iran could still
Speaker 4: get a bomb easily. I hope Iran does some symbolic
Speaker 4: strike on a bay and then everyone stops. So this
Speaker 4: is a guy that wants an attack on a US
Speaker 4: air base. He's teaching at Georgetown University. Jonathan ac Brown,
Speaker 4: All parents, that's money well spent right there.
Speaker 3: Yes, it is.
Speaker 1: The big problem I think for you and me here
Speaker 1: in the United States, anywhere in this area of the world.
Speaker 1: Two things sleeper sells. They're here again. We have no
Speaker 1: idea who entered this country got aways alone over the
Speaker 1: last four years, and what they're here to do. We
Speaker 1: suspect China, but yes, there are Iranians that have crossed
Speaker 1: the southern border, and Iran is not the kind of
Speaker 1: country that would just let citizens leave. So they may
Speaker 1: be here with a blessing and a purpose. The other
Speaker 1: thing is cyber attacks that might affect the things that
Speaker 1: we need most energy, water, or maybe just a data
Speaker 1: breach that would cripple the Internet systems that very significant
Speaker 1: things you use, for example, hospitals. There was a data
Speaker 1: breach over the weekend, sixteen billion compromise passwords. Now it's
Speaker 1: not a new breach, but it's a breach that has
Speaker 1: been going on for a while, and the kind of
Speaker 1: thing that might have been a trial balloon for Iran
Speaker 1: in an effort to get back at this country. We'll
Speaker 1: get into all of that next. It's the average American
Speaker 1: in for the Great American.
Speaker 4: It is seven hundred WLW alright.
Speaker 1: It's one oh nine. It's the average American in for
Speaker 1: the Great American. On this Monday, Iran State TV now
Speaker 1: reporting that an attack on the US basin Qatar or
Speaker 1: Cutter is underway right now.
Speaker 3: Not according to.
Speaker 1: Iran State TV, the President of the United States, Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: is meeting with his National Security Council and they are
Speaker 1: apparently deciding what to do now in the wake of this.
Speaker 1: So this is either going to get escalated rather quickly
Speaker 1: or perhaps even a more measured approach by the President
Speaker 1: in relation to what Iran does or does not here
Speaker 1: So far, no word as to whether or not missiles
Speaker 1: from Iran have landed done any damage to this air base.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how you pronounce this airbase. It's all
Speaker 1: you did, I believe, all you'd d ei d I
Speaker 1: believe is the airbase that is is allegedly under attack,
Speaker 1: according to Iran State TV. Of course, attacks like this
Speaker 1: are something that the country of Israel has been subjected
Speaker 1: to almost since its inception back in the late nineteen forties,
Speaker 1: and most recently in October of twenty twenty three was
Speaker 1: the horrific attack stage by Hamas that has led to
Speaker 1: this war that has gone on between Israel and.
Speaker 3: Hamas.
Speaker 1: Hamas, of course, is an arm that is sponsored by
Speaker 1: the country of Iran. But it's interesting I think what
Speaker 1: Israel's view of what has happened on Tuesday is and
Speaker 1: also what they think may hold for us in the
Speaker 1: wake of all this. We've had David Ruben on the
Speaker 1: show before. He is an author, he is the former
Speaker 1: mayor of a town in Israel by the name of Shiloh,
Speaker 1: and he right now is a man who runs the
Speaker 1: Shiloh Israel Children's Fund. We'll get more about that in
Speaker 1: just a second, but let's welcome him in. David Ruben,
Speaker 1: how are you on this glorious Monday.
Speaker 8: On this glorious Monday. I love that. Yes, it's been
Speaker 8: a pretty active time that attech has occurred, and I'm
Speaker 8: just reading about it right now and getting informed about it.
Speaker 8: On two bases one base, one American base in Katarn
Speaker 8: one American base in Iraq?
Speaker 4: Can you tell us since October of twenty twenty three,
Speaker 4: because I tak a little background on Israel and what
Speaker 4: it's like on a daily basis there, and then more important,
Speaker 4: what it's been like here in the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 4: What is life like in Israel knowing that you could
Speaker 4: come under a fire at any moment from Iran?
Speaker 3: What is that? Just life? What is life like there
Speaker 3: in your country right now?
Speaker 8: Well, a lot of things are restricted, and the reason
Speaker 8: why they're restricted is because there has been a danger
Speaker 8: of missile attacks, been missile attacks on Israel almost every
Speaker 8: day since the war began, and we're just trying to
Speaker 8: be safe. So we're told to go to the bombshelter.
Speaker 4: Hope, did we lose David? I think we might have
Speaker 4: lost David there. Let's uh, let's see. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 4: can hear you now much better. Yes, are you okay?
Speaker 4: Did something happen?
Speaker 3: Are you all right?
Speaker 8: I'm okay. Just a phone connection is not so good
Speaker 8: as a terrible actor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Well we apologize for that on this end.
Speaker 1: You know here to there is a bit of a distance,
Speaker 1: but you have you have been subjected to these missile attacks,
Speaker 1: and so your head's probably on a swivel over there
Speaker 1: is it not?
Speaker 8: Well, we run to the bomb shelter, uh, wheneverever there's
Speaker 8: a siren, very often they're a siren night warning US
Speaker 8: coming missile attack. And so it has been unsettling. But
Speaker 8: the fact is that a war that is as just
Speaker 8: as any other war, probably more so than any war
Speaker 8: since World War Two. And we're just kind of hoping
Speaker 8: with the trama that children and families are suffering from here.
Speaker 8: And I'm glad that you mentioned the Shilah Israel and
Speaker 8: a work end out more about by going to Israel
Speaker 8: Children dot org.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, Israel Children dot org. And that'll help treating
Speaker 4: the victims of this terror that this country has been
Speaker 4: living under since well most recently since October of twenty
Speaker 4: twenty three. When the United States did what it did
Speaker 4: on Saturday, I would guess that it was well received
Speaker 4: inside of Israel. But of course every action sparks are reactions.
Speaker 4: So now what are what are you and your your
Speaker 4: fellow countrymen over there bracing for in the wake of
Speaker 4: what happened Saturday night.
Speaker 8: Well, first of all, let me say this that Israel
Speaker 8: was fifty first state of the United States, which of
Speaker 8: course is not going to become. But if it was,
Speaker 8: then President Trump would have won ninety five percent out here.
Speaker 8: That to be very clear, and even before this attack,
Speaker 8: maybe now it's gonna be present. Having said all that,
Speaker 8: I've to understand that we are making very progress this war.
Speaker 8: The cooperation between Trump administration and Israel has been this.
Speaker 8: We have pretty much wiped out the nuclear Graham which
Speaker 8: which was threatening Israel, threatening the United States, threatening the
Speaker 8: free world. So so all of that is good. How
Speaker 8: how President Trump will react now given that Iran, that
Speaker 8: terrible evil regime is lashing.
Speaker 3: Out at States, now.
Speaker 8: That has to be on a nip in the butt,
Speaker 8: as they say, very very.
Speaker 1: Well, you're you're, you're right about that. They've got the
Speaker 1: fifth fleet in the Strait of Hormuz the United States does.
Speaker 1: I think if if Iron tries to cut off the
Speaker 1: straight of horror US, they're they're going to have problems
Speaker 1: with a lot of other countries besides the United States.
Speaker 1: But we'll see what happens there. You well know in
Speaker 1: Israel that some of these tourists attacked don't come from
Speaker 1: foreign soil. They come from your own soil where terrorists
Speaker 1: have infiltrated and lived. You've seen your share of bombings
Speaker 1: in downtown establishments and whatnot. Over the course of time,
Speaker 1: we worry here about sleeper cell attacks that because of
Speaker 1: the policies of the previous administration, and quite frankly several
Speaker 1: before there have been a great infiltration of people into
Speaker 1: this country, but certainly more so and most so under
Speaker 1: the previous administration of people who are not in this
Speaker 1: country legally doing god knows what. And so we worry
Speaker 1: about sleeper cells here in America. I'm sure you worry
Speaker 1: about those things all the time in Israel. So what
Speaker 1: should we be on guard for here with regards to
Speaker 1: those in the wake of this ongoing conflict.
Speaker 8: Well, I've been saying years that the United States to
Speaker 8: be doing more elan. If someone is a radical Muslim,
Speaker 8: then then he should be suspected because because Islam is
Speaker 8: not just uh a religion, he's another peaceful religion. It
Speaker 8: is an ideology which seeks to deploy everyone else and
Speaker 8: then harm everyone else and and force them to come
Speaker 8: to Islam under the sword. So that that's that's really
Speaker 8: what I have to say about that. I think that
Speaker 8: that the United States needs to be very very careful
Speaker 8: about bringing in foreign exchange things from Muslim countries.
Speaker 1: Well, Trump has been trying to cut down on the
Speaker 1: number of foreign students that attend places that that, in essence,
Speaker 1: I guess shield students like that, you know that, you know,
Speaker 1: the usual suspects. I mean, my gosh, that we we have.
Speaker 1: I just read this story just a few minutes ago.
Speaker 1: There's a professor of Islamic civilization at Georgetown University who's
Speaker 1: now saying that he hopes not only does Iran get
Speaker 1: a bomb in the in the wake of what happens
Speaker 1: Saturday night, but that he uses it to attack a base,
Speaker 1: a US air base. Well, it's not a nuclear bomb
Speaker 1: that Aron is using right now, It's it's conventional weaponry
Speaker 1: on a base in Qatar. And I'm just I'm just wondering.
Speaker 1: I mean, that kind of radicalism inside these these these
Speaker 1: universities that cost a lot of money to attend. I'm
Speaker 1: sure you know, David, if you go to Georgetown, Columbia, Harvard,
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not paying, you know, three or four
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year to go there. But to have
Speaker 1: that kind of rhetoric on campus, yeah, I would. I
Speaker 1: would certainly go after those kinds of people with that
Speaker 1: kind of thinking. But we got a problem here in
Speaker 1: the United States, and it's a good problem most of
Speaker 1: the time. But in situations like this, there are people
Speaker 1: that say, wait a minute, hang on, apply the brakes.
Speaker 1: Maybe we really don't want to do this. We're a
Speaker 1: company that honors free speech, regardless of what that speech
Speaker 1: may be hatred or otherwise.
Speaker 3: So it may not be as easy as thinks it is.
Speaker 8: There are some limits. And I think you have to
Speaker 8: look at what's funding most of those universities and most
Speaker 8: of those chairs of Islamic studies. It seemed to exist
Speaker 8: in every Ivy League university. It's the state of Katar,
Speaker 8: which has fashioned help as a moderate publicly all supporting
Speaker 8: radical Islamic work like Jazeira, which which they established. And
Speaker 8: Katar is also one of the biggest funders of those
Speaker 8: American versities, those Ivy League schools, and so so a
Speaker 8: lot of the radicalism from comes directly from her, of
Speaker 8: are from the leadership of Cutar. And I think then,
Speaker 8: he said, I think that there there is some dievite
Speaker 8: among a lot of people in the American risity system
Speaker 8: and some in the media such as Coucker Carlson, who
Speaker 8: once interviewed years ago when he was on Fox. But
Speaker 8: I don't know if he's getting funding from his network. Oh,
Speaker 8: I'm just throwing it out there, but he has turned
Speaker 8: out quite an israel individual and quite an American leadership.
Speaker 1: One of the things I want to get to our
Speaker 1: time is limited, and I know Nightfall has come to
Speaker 1: Israel as well is the Israel Children Organization. We mentioned
Speaker 1: it before and where you can find it Israel Children
Speaker 1: dot org. But when people go there, if they want
Speaker 1: to donate money, what do you do with that money?
Speaker 1: How do you help these kids that have unfortunately had
Speaker 1: war interrupt their lives.
Speaker 8: Well, I'll just point out that the Shilo Israel Children's
Speaker 8: babolist after a terror attack in Israel in which was
Speaker 8: wounded and my year old son was was shot in
Speaker 8: the head. So I knew about the tourism and I
Speaker 8: knew about the trauma from that experience where it all started,
Speaker 8: and I established Sniffson Network of programs using music, art
Speaker 8: and animals, equine therapy, horse at writing therapy, horticulture therapy
Speaker 8: and name it. We have a array of therapeutic programs
Speaker 8: children have suffered from terrorism, and we're also supporting youth programs.
Speaker 8: So anyone who wants to partner with us to go
Speaker 8: to Israel.
Speaker 3: Dot org.
Speaker 8: Very simple url children dot.
Speaker 1: Org Israel children dot org. David Robin, It's always good
Speaker 1: to have you on, always good to talk to you.
Speaker 1: My Hebrew is horrendous, but I'm going to try this,
Speaker 1: so you tell me how I do. I'm going to
Speaker 1: wish you he shah aruba tusha he sha darum he
Speaker 1: who am? I think that means be safe, p well
Speaker 1: and may God be with you. It probably didn't sound
Speaker 1: all that good.
Speaker 7: Did it.
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 8: I definitely understood the English skin.
Speaker 1: Well, then you probably appreciate it. But you probably also
Speaker 1: know this too. Shut a home until we talk again.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, David.
Speaker 8: That was good.
Speaker 3: Thank you, David.
Speaker 1: David Rubin, former mayor of Shiloh, Shiloh as it's pronounced
Speaker 1: over there, it is.
Speaker 3: One twenty four.
Speaker 1: It's the average American in for the Great American News
Speaker 1: Radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 6: Are moving closer?
Speaker 4: You believe the US is moving closer to striking Iranian
Speaker 4: nuclear facilities?
Speaker 8: Where's your mindset on that?
Speaker 7: You're sure that right?
Speaker 3: Seriously? Think I'm going to answer that way?
Speaker 6: Will you strike the Iranian nuclear component?
Speaker 3: And what time exactly? Sarah sir, would you strike it?
Speaker 3: Would you please inform us so we can be there
Speaker 3: and watch. I mean, you don't know that I'm going
Speaker 3: to even do it. You don't know. I may do it,
Speaker 3: I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what
Speaker 3: I'm going to do. I can tell you this that
Speaker 3: a Ram's got a lot of trouble and they want
Speaker 3: to negotiate. And I said, why didn't you negotiate with
Speaker 3: me before all this death and destruction?
Speaker 4: Why in your nego I said to the people, why
Speaker 4: didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago?
Speaker 3: Hello, quiet, I'm skulls, I'm broadcasting.
Speaker 1: So this is basically Donald Trump's way of suing Ran right,
Speaker 1: business deal gone bad. We're just going to sue hern
Speaker 1: in this case, we're going to draw bunker busters.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: And now now Cutter Cutter condemns their attack, the attack,
Speaker 4: and they reserve the right now to respond. So you
Speaker 4: got cutter mad? That could be it.
Speaker 1: Let me just tell you, cutter, kuwait Syria, Turkey, they
Speaker 1: got the UAE, they got they got nobody over there.
Speaker 1: Aron's got nobody and they're shooting out. Basically, it's a
Speaker 1: fourth of July show. Yeah, they're gonna be Adam missiles
Speaker 1: in a week. And then what are they gonna do.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what they're gonna do is And I'm
Speaker 1: dead serious. These sleeper cells in this country. They're all
Speaker 1: over the place because the last four years over to
Speaker 1: bubb the millions that came in illegally, there are at
Speaker 1: least a couple of million and more like four million people.
Speaker 4: They don't even they don't know where they went. They're
Speaker 4: got aways. They have no idea where they went. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you, Seg, it's all gonna get better
Speaker 1: because you know why.
Speaker 3: You know why? Why is that? Ken Brew? I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'll be true. I don't know, Seg.
Speaker 1: But the Yankees are in town, yes they are. Well,
Speaker 1: what's going on in the world. We got a little
Speaker 1: distraction for ourselves tonight.
Speaker 3: Ken Brew.
Speaker 4: Thee is DOJ Reporter as a proud service of your
Speaker 4: local Teme Star Heating and air conditioning dealers Thamestar Quality,
Speaker 4: you could field in beautiful Milford, home of one main
Speaker 4: gallery and little Miami Brewing, Yes called Baker Heating at
Speaker 4: five one three eight three one fifty one twenty four spots.
Speaker 4: I just drove by there and you know what, it's
Speaker 4: a billion degrees outside ken Brew.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the last I heard that he was not
Speaker 1: doing well. But maybe he's still hanging in there. I
Speaker 1: don't think he's a leftier. Well no, actually he did.
Speaker 1: He died back in February.
Speaker 4: As you said, ken Brew. Three game series, Tonight, Reds
Speaker 4: and Yanks.
Speaker 3: You know, six ten.
Speaker 4: You know what, the Yankees have a fight song because
Speaker 4: they've been around since ever sixty seven. But in sixty two,
Speaker 4: the Mets had a fight song, the Mets Meet the Mets,
Speaker 4: step right, un greet, the Mets bring your kid, These
Speaker 4: bring your Wife, and T two have the title Your Life.
Speaker 4: See when the Mets had a fight song when they
Speaker 4: When the Mets had their fight song that came out,
Speaker 4: the Yankees had to have their fight song. I think
Speaker 4: George Seinberger said, you gotta have a fight song. The
Speaker 4: call home man, you're the songmaster today. I wonder if
Speaker 4: we play for the Yankees, if you have to learn
Speaker 4: the words to the fight song, you know, like probably
Speaker 4: a good idea. I wonder if they were singing it
Speaker 4: last night when Aaron Judge of Jeff Ruby's.
Speaker 3: Well, they might have.
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what, if they've got to learn
Speaker 1: the words of that fight song, The Reds need to
Speaker 1: learn the words of that fight song because the Yankees
Speaker 1: run differentials like one to ten and they're forty five
Speaker 1: and thirty two right, two and a half up on
Speaker 1: the Rays as we speak. So that's why I say
Speaker 1: the Reds need a fight song. Say they need a
Speaker 1: fight song.
Speaker 4: Six ten tonight with Sports Talk and the RNL carriers,
Speaker 4: Inside Pitch and the Kelsey Chevrolet Extra Inning Show. After
Speaker 4: the game, Aaron Judge leads the way with Ted McKay

Speaker 4: Nicolodolo goes tonight for the Red Legs. Tomorrow night. Chase Burns,
Speaker 4: second overall pick in the twenty twenty four draft, starts
Speaker 4: tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: I'm pulling for him against the Yanks. You know they
Speaker 1: want to win now, and you know you got abbot.
Speaker 1: Look the Abbot's pitching like he could win a cy Young.
Speaker 1: Let me dealing yesterday, eighteen in a row. At one point,
Speaker 1: you know, you get Chase Burns up here. If they
Speaker 1: could ever figure out how to keep Rhet Louder healthy
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now you got the makings of a.
Speaker 4: Lodolo's got to get with it, so does Martinez. And
Speaker 4: then you got to get Hunter Green back. You get
Speaker 4: Hunter Green healthy. You gotta get Hunter Green healthy. But

Speaker 4: A lot of excitement tonight though, a lot of excitements.
Speaker 3: The Yanks in town.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 4: Dave Miley Remember Dave Miley. Oh yeah, yeah, he was
Speaker 4: out in Indiana. Well he was, he was the Yankees manager.
Speaker 4: And I think it was Scranton, Wilkesbury, Okay. I talked
Speaker 4: to him at Redsfest a couple of years ago, and
Speaker 4: I said, I said, Dave, I said, the greatest ballplayer
Speaker 4: you ever managed at Triple A. And he didn't stop,
Speaker 4: he didn't hesitate, he didn't blake and eye. He said, Justice, Justice,
Speaker 4: David Justice. No, not David Justice. You mean here, come
Speaker 4: to judge the judge. No justice about that NAST.
Speaker 3: League Justice was delivered by the Judge.

Speaker 4: Howard drew sample of either work working out now or
Speaker 4: have worked out in the past up.
Speaker 1: There to work out. He's probably go up there and
Speaker 1: work out, and I could be their poster boy.

Speaker 1: At all, I go up there and pass out. Certainly,
Speaker 1: So he's working out, well, that's good.
Speaker 3: I mean I don't know. I mean, you know, at
Speaker 3: least it's something. I guess he's staying in town and
Speaker 3: we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: I don't know, We'll see he you know, there's a
Speaker 1: there's a money issue there, sick slightly where Shamar Stewart
Speaker 1: is he working out?
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't think so. And then what
Speaker 4: what about the uh? The only thing that guy worked
Speaker 4: out was his tongue. Well he's not here.
Speaker 3: He took it. He took on management. That's not good,
Speaker 3: not a good thing.
Speaker 4: He's not signed, and the number two guys not signed,
Speaker 4: and he hadn't he had heard a word from him.
Speaker 4: What's his name Night? Oh yeah, Demetrius Knight. Yeah, I
Speaker 4: think said he hadn't said a thing. I think his uh,
Speaker 4: hevn't heard a thing. His aunt is Gladys Knight.
Speaker 3: Did you know that? About that? About that?
Speaker 4: Well, maybe maybe he'll come here and sing. She could
Speaker 4: come here, you know what. That ought to be part
Speaker 4: of the deal. That's right, she sings in Atlanta. Would
Speaker 4: you get your aunt Gladys up here? She could do
Speaker 4: midnight train to Georgia and then sing the national anthem.
Speaker 1: Ruler, Ruler of the Jungle. Now, I'm telling you that'd
Speaker 1: be huge. Seg can we arrange that?
Speaker 4: Can you get word to Mike Brown, Get get a
Speaker 4: hold of my Bengaled insiders, Get a hold of Mike Dave,
Speaker 4: Dave Lapham, Gonna get that done.
Speaker 1: Here's what we got to do to close this deal.
Speaker 1: You get Gladys Knight up here. Then Dimitrius comes here.
Speaker 3: He signs. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Shamar Stewart, I don't know. I don't know about Maybe
Speaker 1: they get Martha Stewart to come up here.
Speaker 4: At least he's not driving around like Sanders's kid in
Speaker 4: Cleveland at one hundred miles an hour around the streets.
Speaker 3: There's a reason why he was drafted as low as
Speaker 3: he was.
Speaker 4: There's a reason NBA Finals last night, of course, the
Speaker 4: hearts of the state of Indiana broken last night.
Speaker 3: Is the Oklahoma City Thunder win the title? Yeah? And
Speaker 3: in Game seven?
Speaker 4: And of course you know, mister mister Halliburton has a
Speaker 4: born achilles that has been that's that happened last night.
Speaker 3: So but can brew it healed?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 4: The current Bearcats basketball team, new general manager Corey Evans, Yeah,
Speaker 4: helped Oka See to the title because he was with
Speaker 4: the Thunder. Scout under in the scouting department. Apparently with
Speaker 4: a Thunder since twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, seg in nineteen hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy six, We're going back over almost fifty years.
Speaker 3: That's when I got out of Cole Raine.
Speaker 1: I my first my first job in local television was
Speaker 1: at k WTV in Oklahoma City. It was Channel nine
Speaker 1: CBS affiliate. Yeah, and they had at the time, they
Speaker 1: had the largest structure in this in the state of Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: Their their television transmitter set in our parking lot, and
Speaker 1: I thought.
Speaker 3: There was that truck stop I eighty, Iowa eighty.
Speaker 1: This was this was This was a structure that was
Speaker 1: erected by a guy named Edgar Bell, who was the
Speaker 1: chief engineer there. Anyway, all right, anyway, if you had
Speaker 1: told me back in nineteen hundred and seventy six that
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City would have an NBA franchise, I done laughed
Speaker 1: in your face.
Speaker 3: That's the fun thing in the world that they would not.
Speaker 3: And I would have been broke today. Now they got
Speaker 3: the Now they got the NBA champs.
Speaker 1: Got the NBA champs, you know, Indiana, that was the
Speaker 1: Halliburton Tyres Halliburton, good player.
Speaker 4: I mean, that was terrible what happened. But Oklahoma City
Speaker 4: was a better team. They're just they're just a bit.
Speaker 4: They took them, They took them right to the game seven.
Speaker 4: So you know, it's a tough, tough one. You know
Speaker 4: what they got they got there, They got the knicks
Speaker 4: out of there. The Pacers, you know, unbelievable of you.
Speaker 1: Know, they played well, they played a little bit over
Speaker 1: the themselves, but they had a great season.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: But Oklahoma City is a better team. And SGA is
Speaker 1: the best. I mean, I you know, surpassing everyone. You know,
Speaker 1: we know about his time and the Commonwealth and all that.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, if you just watch his game,
Speaker 1: it is something to marvel at.
Speaker 3: It really is. Amen. Amen, Yeah, Amen, Okay, Okay, I
Speaker 3: ask me. I agree with you. That's good. Okay. Anything
Speaker 3: else going on, no, just that. I'm just it's just hot,
Speaker 3: you know, Seg.
Speaker 4: It's just hot all over and uh, you know, you
Speaker 4: don't really have to bounce in your step when it's
Speaker 4: that hot.
Speaker 3: But nevertheless, it's hot. It's hot.
Speaker 1: But I I'm looking for the Reds. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: them right now, Seg. And I'm saying to myself, there
Speaker 1: are three games out of the wildcard, the last wildcard. Yep, uh,
Speaker 1: there's I don't think there's any way I could be wrong.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any way they're going to catch
Speaker 1: the Cubs this year. They may, but I don't think.
Speaker 1: But the big question is going to be you get
Speaker 1: to the trade deadline and you're just three games out,
Speaker 1: what do you do?
Speaker 4: Because I will again quote history, if you look at
Speaker 4: calendar year two thousand, mm hm, calendar year two thousand.
Speaker 4: The Reds were four games out at the All Star break, okay,
Speaker 4: and they did not acquire They dumped. So we'll see
Speaker 4: a different ownership, different general manager. Could be a lot
Speaker 4: of things at play, but it will be interesting to
Speaker 4: see with a chance to go for it, would you
Speaker 4: trade one of the one of the Crown Jewels. Let's
Speaker 4: just say, I don't know what's going on with Christian
Speaker 4: and Carnassi own Strand. I don't know where he stands
Speaker 4: in the in the eyes of management, but would you
Speaker 4: trade him for a rented picture that might get you
Speaker 4: over the top and maybe just maybe, maybe maybe just
Speaker 4: gets you a little sniff of the playoffs, just get in,
Speaker 4: maybe you get knocked out first round.
Speaker 3: Whatever. Would you take that after not being in the
Speaker 3: playoffs since twenty thirteen?
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably, if it depends on what the who the
Speaker 4: picture is, I mean, who you could get, But if
Speaker 4: probably take that or trade I mean, I don't know
Speaker 4: if they're going to get the you know, any of
Speaker 4: the Crown Jewels.
Speaker 3: No, but if you I mean I was.
Speaker 1: Thinking that, Yeah, I mean just if you know, oh,
Speaker 1: you're going to get a picture that's going to get
Speaker 1: you in, and you also know that you're probably not
Speaker 1: going to make it past the wild card round?
Speaker 3: Would you do it just to get there? I say yes,
Speaker 3: because you.
Speaker 1: Look at if you look at recent history, you get
Speaker 1: in and anything can happen, right for sure, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Things I'm just thinking about saying, a lot of time
Speaker 1: on my hands.
Speaker 3: I gotta go. But all right, you see you again
Speaker 3: here shortly.
Speaker 4: Right ken Brew in honor of hot Day here in
Speaker 4: the tri State and go USA. We leave you with
Speaker 4: the immortal words of the Stood Report. Stop the terror
Speaker 4: I call upon all nations to do everything they can
Speaker 4: to stop these terrorists killers.
Speaker 8: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Now watch his drive all right, another that's what Willie's
Speaker 3: doing about right now? Oh my gosh, you remember you
Speaker 3: remember that guy? Yeah, of course?
Speaker 1: Three all right, News radio seven hundred WLW, HI two
Speaker 1: ten News Radio, seven hundred WLW. The average American in
Speaker 1: put a great American on this Monday right now, Apparently
Speaker 1: Israel is striking Alan. Iran has fired missiles into a
Speaker 1: USA air base in cutter And uh, there even reports
Speaker 1: out there that Iran telegraphed that move so the US
Speaker 1: knew it was coming. They evacuated the areas that the
Speaker 1: missiles were aimed at.
Speaker 3: So I don't know.
Speaker 1: There could be just an off ramp here for Iran
Speaker 1: to say to their country, which is important for the
Speaker 1: regime in that country. I had told her to tell
Speaker 1: his people, see see what we did to the big Satan.
Speaker 1: But uh, it's all as they as they say in war,
Speaker 1: kind of foggy. But right now what it looks like
Speaker 1: Israel is attacking on yet again, the market doesn't seem
Speaker 1: to mind. It is up almost three hundred at this point.
Speaker 1: So if you thought all of this was going to
Speaker 1: affect the economy of this country, so far no, so
Speaker 1: far no. But something could happen, I think with cyber security,
Speaker 1: and with a cyber attack by Oran, I don't know
Speaker 1: if we're giving them too much credit for being that smart,
Speaker 1: but nevertheless it could. And this in light of what
Speaker 1: happened over the weekend. More than sixteen billion logging credentials
Speaker 1: for Google, Facebook, and Apple and other platforms have been
Speaker 1: exposed in one of the largest database cybersecurity breaches of
Speaker 1: all time. Cyber News reported that over what period of time,
Speaker 1: don't know how old were these passwords? Don't know, But
Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying it's not just a leak,
Speaker 1: but maybe a blueprint for max exploitation from those who
Speaker 1: are just working in the dark web, as they say,
Speaker 1: maybe for another nation to do harm to ours, like Iran.
Speaker 1: Standing by the way in we've had Damian Fortune on
Speaker 1: the show before. He is the CEO of Centric and
Speaker 1: he is kind enough to give us some of his
Speaker 1: knowledge and thoughts behind all of us and Damian Fortune,
Speaker 1: how are you on this glorious Monday.
Speaker 9: I'm doing great, Ken, Thanks so much for having me back.
Speaker 1: Thank you for making time for us. Okay, So this breach,
Speaker 1: the sixteen billion passwords that have been compromised, it doesn't
Speaker 1: look like it happened over the weekend. This looks like
Speaker 1: it might have been a harvest over the course of time.
Speaker 1: What did you read into the sixteen billion passwords that
Speaker 1: might have been compromised?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, you're exactly right, Ken. These sorts of
Speaker 9: things happen over time. These programs get set up and
Speaker 9: they harvest data, they dump it all into databases, and
Speaker 9: over time it just aggregates into a number that's kind
Speaker 9: of mind blowingly large.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean you had last year, last summer, you
Speaker 1: had ten billion unique passwords that were compromised. In twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four, earlier than last summer, cyber News reported that
Speaker 1: the largest data leak of all, the Mother of All breaches,
Speaker 1: twenty six billion records were breached. So I guess my
Speaker 1: question is is how is this happening? We know what
Speaker 1: we should do, Maybe some of us aren't doing it,
Speaker 1: maybe even some companies aren't doing it. But these are
Speaker 1: large numbers that we're hearing. So what's going on here?
Speaker 1: How is this happening?
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a combination of big databases being compromised, you know,
Speaker 9: websites being hacked from outside intrusion, but a lot of
Speaker 9: it also comes from malware that's being installed on people's
Speaker 9: web browsers and just harvesting all of the log and
Speaker 9: as they entered into the website.
Speaker 1: Okay, how would a malware be placed on my particular
Speaker 1: computer at home or anyone else's that might be listening.
Speaker 1: How would a malware get into my computer?
Speaker 9: So almost always it comes through as something called a
Speaker 9: phishing attack. So that's someone sending you an email or
Speaker 9: a link through an ia and you're clicking on it.
Speaker 9: It's installing a software onto your computer that runs in
Speaker 9: the background, and that just does malicious activities like harvesting
Speaker 9: those patterns.
Speaker 1: Okay, so if you get an email or a text
Speaker 1: from some number or person you don't know, don't click
Speaker 1: on that, don't click on that link. But over and
Speaker 1: above that, even if it is somebody you know, it
Speaker 1: does not necessarily mean that.
Speaker 3: They haven't been hacked and are sending that email. Correct,
Speaker 3: that's exactly right.
Speaker 9: A lot of the pay it forward, so you'll have
Speaker 9: credentials that are stolen that go on to be used
Speaker 9: to impersonate other folks, and then they get new credentials
Speaker 9: from the folks that are in their contact information, and
Speaker 9: then so on and.
Speaker 1: So on, and all this to do things like maybe
Speaker 1: drain a bank account or run up some sort of
Speaker 1: expense on a credit card. I mean, it's all it
Speaker 1: seems to me, at least on a personal level, it's
Speaker 1: all monetarily driven.
Speaker 3: Correct, that's exactly right.
Speaker 9: I mean, these sorts of things are really done to
Speaker 9: harvest but eventually log ins that cross reference with online
Speaker 9: banking or other sorts of financial information. Sometimes it's other
Speaker 9: areas where you can do identity that through you know,
Speaker 9: vehicle registration records, health records.
Speaker 3: Things like that.
Speaker 9: But Ultimately, the goal is to monetize these log ins
Speaker 9: and turn them into dollars.
Speaker 3: Okay, so, I mean this is just good internet hygiene.
Speaker 1: Have a strong, unique password, a multi factor authentication if possible,
Speaker 1: maybe by some sort of password generating device, one password
Speaker 1: or whatever. It might be, whatever you want to do,
Speaker 1: but by and large, just don't think, Hey, everything's fine.
Speaker 1: I've got my cat's name and a number next to it,
Speaker 1: and everything will be fine. I'll never be hacked. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is something that you should It's almost like, I
Speaker 1: think it's kind of like cutting your grass, right when
Speaker 1: you know you cut your grass a lot of times
Speaker 1: during the course of a year. Maybe this is what
Speaker 1: you've got to do with your passwords during the course
Speaker 1: of the year, and be vigilant and just not get
Speaker 1: lazy about all of this.
Speaker 3: You hit the nail right on the head end.
Speaker 9: I mean, this is the sort of thing that particularly
Speaker 9: for the really important information your banking, your finance, is,
Speaker 9: anything related to healthcare, anything that could be tied to
Speaker 9: identity theft, those sorts of things should have unique passwords
Speaker 9: at the very minimum two factor authentication, like you said,
Speaker 9: and then at least once a quarter those passwords should
Speaker 9: be updated in some way that make it so that
Speaker 9: by the time that those things do unfortunately end up
Speaker 9: in these databases that get compromise, they're stale and can't
Speaker 9: be used against you.
Speaker 1: What about facial recognition. I know a lot of smartphones
Speaker 1: have that now, where you can log into a website
Speaker 1: and just by identifying your face.
Speaker 3: I mean, how safe is that?
Speaker 9: Yeah, so that's actually kind of the next wave of
Speaker 9: password technology. So a lot of websites now will use
Speaker 9: your cell phone and something called the pass key, which
Speaker 9: is something unique to the device and your face together.
Speaker 9: So it's a different kind of multi factor authentication, but
Speaker 9: the idea is the same. It's one additional layer that
Speaker 9: keeps the bad guys away from just being able to
Speaker 9: use your password to get into your systems.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but what if you look like someone else? Like
Speaker 1: a lot of people think I look like George Clooney.
Speaker 1: You know, what if that's the case, could that happen?
Speaker 9: Well, I mean, getting into George's bank account might not be.
Speaker 3: The worst thing.
Speaker 1: Anybody who thinks I look like George Clooney needs to
Speaker 1: have cataract surgery. All right, let's talk about something that's
Speaker 1: more that's more I suppose pertinent to what we're talking
Speaker 1: about right now. Uh So, the great fear among I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people is in the wake of
Speaker 1: what we did to Iran on Saturday night, which was
Speaker 1: blow up their nuclear and Richmond sites, that Aron will
Speaker 1: launch some sort of counterattack. They're already doing it, although
Speaker 1: it looks more like a fireworks show right now, to
Speaker 1: a US air base in cutter But there is always
Speaker 1: the possibility of them attacking us from a cyber standpoint,
Speaker 1: maybe getting into something that controls our water or our
Speaker 1: electricity or something like that. The United States, I hope,
Speaker 1: have the best in the brightest minds when it comes
Speaker 1: to cybersecurity, but we have to be right one hundred
Speaker 1: percent of the time, and somebody that wants to get
Speaker 1: in there and do something the farious has to be
Speaker 1: right one hundred percent of the only one percent of
Speaker 1: the time. So how concerned are you right now, Damian Fortune,
Speaker 1: that something could be done from a cyber standpoint in
Speaker 1: retaliation to this country for what it did on Saturday
Speaker 1: night to Iran.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so that's actually a great question, and this is
Speaker 9: actually an issue that has been top of mind for
Speaker 9: a lot of folks on the hill and at companies
Speaker 9: like ours. For a long time, our nation adversaries in
Speaker 9: China and North Korea, Russia Ran actually have very sophisticated
Speaker 9: offensive cyber programs. They've been running them for many years,
Speaker 9: and we've actually seen incidences that give rise to concern
Speaker 9: over the past couple of years. Two years ago, a
Speaker 9: Chinese hacking group actually shut down the electrical grid in
Speaker 9: Guam for a couple of days. So this is the
Speaker 9: sort of thing where as you might imagine, right without
Speaker 9: running water or access to power, electricity or the internet,
Speaker 9: things can get out of hands in a hurry. So
Speaker 9: there are lots of organizations that are taking a lot
Speaker 9: of time, a lot of money, a lot of effort
Speaker 9: actually to go into everything from the software to the
Speaker 9: chips themselves to root out these vulnerabilities because it's a
Speaker 9: big problem if it does happen.
Speaker 1: Okay, So we have a lot of grids in this country,
Speaker 1: and we have infinitely more power companies in this country.
Speaker 1: Let's just take an average power company, for example, Duke
Speaker 1: Energy here in the greater Cincinnati area. One would think
Speaker 1: that their cybersecurity would be pretty good, if not excellent,
Speaker 1: But what should it be doing. And I'm only using
Speaker 1: them as an example because they're a local company, what
Speaker 1: should they be doing to make sure that the people
Speaker 1: here in the greater Cincinnati area don't lose electrical service?
Speaker 9: Gosh, so many things, you know. The trouble is that
Speaker 9: these attacks come in from so many vectors. You have
Speaker 9: to screen your employees to make sure that they haven't
Speaker 9: been planted by one of these nation states that's kind
Speaker 9: of sent someone into the country to inject soffer from
Speaker 9: the inside. You have to constantly do checks on your
Speaker 9: actual cybersecurity, share your network to software, those sorts of things.
Speaker 9: But what we're seeing more and more now and increasingly
Speaker 9: causing concern is that malicious code is actually being kind
Speaker 9: of smuggled into these utilities through the chips that are
Speaker 9: part of the actual equipment that power those utilities. So,
Speaker 9: for example, very recently a large batch of solar panels
Speaker 9: that came from China, its discovered that a chip that
Speaker 9: was built into the solar panels actually included a virus
Speaker 9: with the intent of being able to compromise the solar utility.
Speaker 1: So this might be a good time for any of
Speaker 1: these companies that distribute water electricity, whatever it may be
Speaker 1: to do a deep dive into what their security is
Speaker 1: all about. But the thing you just mentioned is frightening
Speaker 1: because it may be there and nobody would know it.
Speaker 1: Solar panels that have chips, well they were made in China.
Speaker 1: Well maybe they shouldn't have bought those solar panels from
Speaker 1: China in the first place, But the fact of the
Speaker 1: matter is they're there. So I'm not sure any of
Speaker 1: these companies could be one hundred percent certain that they
Speaker 1: are cyber secure.
Speaker 3: That's exactly right.
Speaker 9: I mean, the problem too, is that these ships may
Speaker 9: come from China originally, but they may they may be
Speaker 9: assembled in another place by a different company, and by
Speaker 9: the time that you go all the way through the
Speaker 9: supply chain, it's really hard to kind of figure out
Speaker 9: where they're coming from. So you know, there are companies
Speaker 9: and now NGOs that have been stood up specifically to
Speaker 9: kind of root out the supply chain problem. But as
Speaker 9: you can imagine, there's a ton of noise and a
Speaker 9: ton of moving parts, so it's it's an uphill battle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So if you're if you're the if
Speaker 1: you're the FEDS right now, if you're in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: If you're somebody that is in charge of our cybersecurity?
Speaker 3: What what are you doing? What's happening right now?
Speaker 1: Do you think, knowing full well that what I, well
Speaker 1: you and I are talking about is probably being discussed.
Speaker 3: Everywhere at this hour?
Speaker 1: What what do you what do you think the federal
Speaker 1: government is doing who have not mitigate what happens, but
Speaker 1: possibly eliminated.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so there are programs that have been set up
Speaker 9: over the past few years to review the cybersecurity. The
Speaker 9: NSA actually offers utilities and other critical infrastructure providers network
Speaker 9: screening courtesy of their software engineers and things like that.
Speaker 9: But you know, the real issue right now is that
Speaker 9: a lot of the programs, particularly on the NGO side,
Speaker 9: that focused on this issue, have seen their budgets scaled
Speaker 9: back due to some of the recent spending cuts in Washington.
Speaker 9: And that's really raised a lot of red flags for
Speaker 9: folks that in the industry specifically because they've there are
Speaker 9: fewer eyeballs on this problem. And like you said before,
Speaker 9: that does only need to be right one percent of
Speaker 9: the time, and we need to be vigilant and purpose
Speaker 9: one hundred percent of the time.
Speaker 4: Well, maybe we need more eyeballs but certainly eyeballs that
Speaker 4: are that are at the top of their game. So
Speaker 4: this this, this this sixteen billion log in credentials that
Speaker 4: came to light over the weekend. Uh, people are saying
Speaker 4: it's not a leak, it's a blueprint for mass exploitation.
Speaker 4: Does that sound like the sky is falling or do
Speaker 4: you think there is something to that?
Speaker 9: Well, you know, I mean these sorts of attacks have
Speaker 9: been happening since the Internet opened up for public access.
Speaker 9: This is there's always a large password, there's always some
Speaker 9: repository that gets eventually exposed and opened up to the
Speaker 9: broader public. So I wouldn't say that the sky is falling.
Speaker 9: I mean, it's just another point saying that we need
Speaker 9: to be vigilance, we need to change our passwords and
Speaker 9: have good hygiene. But you know, this is just one
Speaker 9: of many, many different threat vectors that the bad guys
Speaker 9: are using to try to compromise everything from our personal
Speaker 9: finances to our critical infrastructure.
Speaker 1: Damien Unfortune, CEO of Centrics, give us again what centrics
Speaker 1: se n t ri iq.
Speaker 3: Is all about what do you do? And who came
Speaker 3: up with that name? Because it's pretty cool.
Speaker 9: We paid some fine folks in the marketing department to
Speaker 9: come up with that one. We make ultra secure communication
Speaker 9: tools for the federal government, so easier to think about
Speaker 9: it as things like signal or WhatsApp teams. We make
Speaker 9: really secure versions of that for folks that need the
Speaker 9: levels of protection.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, you are in charge of our cybersecurity
Speaker 1: here in the country. Why didn't you say that up front,
Speaker 1: Damien Fortune. Well, yeah, I try to be humble, and
Speaker 1: that's why you got the.
Speaker 3: Job you got because you don't open your mouth.
Speaker 1: But we appreciate you bringing some light into what this
Speaker 1: might have been all about here over the weekend with
Speaker 1: this really disturbing information, but certainly what might be on
Speaker 1: the horizon with something Ron may do that's kind of nefarious.
Speaker 1: In any event, Damien, it's great for you to jump
Speaker 1: on with us here today. We appreciate it. Stay well.
Speaker 1: We need to hear your voice and we'll visit again.
Speaker 1: I'm sure.
Speaker 3: Thanks, thanks so much. Ken Tumson, Yeah, I mean there's
Speaker 3: been a lot of breaches.
Speaker 1: I mean, sixteen billion over the weekend, and then, like
Speaker 1: I said in early twenty twenty four, the mother of
Speaker 1: all breaches, twenty six billion records and twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: eight billion records leaked online summer ten billion unique passwords
Speaker 1: and now sixteenth billion unique passwords. A lot of it
Speaker 1: is older information. A lot of people have changed their
Speaker 1: passwords and have moved on. But I do think, honestly,
Speaker 1: if you're not if you're not changing your password a
Speaker 1: lot on things that control your money or your personal
Speaker 1: information like health, if you're not changing your passwords consistently,
Speaker 1: you're just asking for trouble. And when somebody says multi
Speaker 1: factor authentication, don't look at that as a problem or
Speaker 1: a roadblock. Just say yes and do it, because you'll
Speaker 1: save yourself a lot of headaches. But I'm done preaching.
Speaker 3: It's two twenty five News Radio, seven hundred w l W.
Speaker 3: Terrorism will be stopped by a mighty nation.
Speaker 7: Hello, Bietos, I'm broadcasting.
Speaker 3: The world's blowing up all around us.
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable, Andy Mack, you go, Six Iranian missiles Overcutter
Speaker 1: intercepted by US missile defenses. Yeah, so it looked like
Speaker 1: it was a giant fireworks show from Iran, but maybe
Speaker 1: an off ramp, Justice say, because so the Ayatola can
Speaker 1: tell his constituents, look what we did to the evil
Speaker 1: American right, seg we have royalty with us.
Speaker 3: You want to bring in some royalty. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 3: Why not?
Speaker 1: Ken Brew standing by is one of the greatest football
Speaker 1: players in the history of Tampa high school sports, someone
Speaker 1: who also played baseball and went on to manage.

Speaker 1: breaking news from your Cincinnati Reds. Off the injured list,
Speaker 1: back from a rehab assignment and now dfad by the
Speaker 1: Reds Jmr Candelario, jmar We hardly knew ye halfway through
Speaker 1: a three year, forty five million dollar deal audiost.
Speaker 3: Just minutes ago by the Reds.
Speaker 1: Gordon Wittenmeyer of The Inquirer had it first, or at
Speaker 1: least he did on Twitter. Quite possibly one of the
Speaker 1: worst free agent signings in the history of the Cincinnati Reds.
Speaker 1: There's been a few, but this one would be right
Speaker 1: up there.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 1: In a couple of minutes, we reached the crescendo of
Speaker 1: the broadcast day, the high note, as they say in music,
Speaker 1: the epicenter of the apex of what we do here
Speaker 1: at seven hundred at w WELW. And it's my job
Speaker 1: to be the mountain climber and hand the flag to
Speaker 1: two of the great titans in the history of broadcasting.
Speaker 1: And that would be, of course, the world renowned and
Speaker 1: universally revered Eddie Fingers, the man that a lot of
Speaker 1: people look at and say, yes, he won a Super
Speaker 1: Bowl ring. Why the hell can't the Bengals, and that
Speaker 1: would be our good friend rocket Jay Boyman, Rocky, how
Speaker 1: are you ken?
Speaker 3: I'm good.
Speaker 12: I've dropped the fly a few times in my life,
Speaker 12: but hopefully I'll pick it up and carry it on today.
Speaker 3: You have planted it right at the fifty yard line. Now,
Speaker 3: let me ask you this.
Speaker 1: The Democrats are running around yelling and screaming because Trump
Speaker 1: didn't use the War Powers Act. He didn't have to,
Speaker 1: by the way, He's got sixty days to do whatever
Speaker 1: the hell he wants. And secondly, they're running around and screaming,
Speaker 1: saying stop Trump, Trump bad, this is awful in peach Trump,
Speaker 1: which is exactly the same song that they've been singing
Speaker 1: since twenty fifteen. The Democrats don't know anything else except
Speaker 1: stop Trump. They have nobody that can stop Trump. And
Speaker 1: I thought what Trump did Saturday night probably saved millions
Speaker 1: of lives. And the Democrats don't seem to be excited
Speaker 1: about that. Why do you think that's so.
Speaker 12: Well, it's standard for what they've been doing really since
Speaker 12: twenty sixteen. Is the end result is whatever Trump did
Speaker 12: is wrong. It doesn't matter what it was, it's wrong.
Speaker 12: So now once we've established that, let's work backwards to
Speaker 12: try to prove that point. And to your you know,
Speaker 12: about the bombing of Iran, I don't think there's no
Speaker 12: dispute that Iran having a chemical grade nuclear potential for
Speaker 12: a bomb is a bad thing.
Speaker 3: Right Is anybody disputing that?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 3: I don't think so.
Speaker 12: Maybe some out there are, But I think Trump, I
Speaker 12: trust he did the right thing. I also trust that
Speaker 12: he's a guy that I don't think he wants war
Speaker 12: does he doesn't.
Speaker 3: It's not what he wants to do.
Speaker 12: But at some point, something within negotiations, and maybe it'll
Speaker 12: come out later. Somewhere down the line, something happened, and
Speaker 12: I think against everything he wanted to do, he said, look,
Speaker 12: we can't let them get a nuclear capability for a bomb.
Speaker 12: What they're supposed to be able to in the in
Speaker 12: the agreement, right, the agreement was they can enrich uranium
Speaker 12: up to three point six percent.
Speaker 3: They were close to sixty percent. Nothing about that.
Speaker 12: They could have done everything they wanted for nuclear power
Speaker 12: to you know, for their electricity, and everything could have
Speaker 12: been done at a much much lower grade. Clearly they
Speaker 12: wanted to enrich uranium for a bomb. So he took
Speaker 12: matters in his own hands.
Speaker 3: You don't.
Speaker 1: You don't try to become a nuclear powered nation by
Speaker 1: building a bomb facility three hundred yards down a mountainside.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't. But yet you've got people running around
Speaker 1: say well they were maybe trying to become peaceful. It's like,
Speaker 1: what the hell's wrong with you?
Speaker 12: No, And Marco Rubio, he was brilliant the other day
Speaker 12: on I think it was yesterday on Fox he made
Speaker 12: that same point. He said, why if you're doing this
Speaker 12: on the up and up, and you're doing this for
Speaker 12: all clearly just you know, good purposes for your people,
Speaker 12: why are you doing in a facility that's buried three
Speaker 12: hundred feet below ground and you can't let anyone in
Speaker 12: unless you get permission. So I'm gonna trust Donald Trump
Speaker 12: on this one. And hopefully things don't escalate, because no
Speaker 12: one wants a war Worth or American you know, men
Speaker 12: and women on the ground and all that sort of thing.
Speaker 12: It seems to be there between what Israel has already
Speaker 12: done and what we did over the weekend. Seems like
Speaker 12: I ran some pretty bad shape right now. So hopefully
Speaker 12: things on't escalate.
Speaker 1: And you and the aging veteran that you're paired with
Speaker 1: Eddie Fingers. What will the two of you be talking
Speaker 1: about after the news.
Speaker 12: You're right out of the gate. We have a guest
Speaker 12: on talking about you know, the question now is you
Speaker 12: know sleeper cells? Right? I ran sleeper cells and what
Speaker 12: they can do in terms of you know, hacking and
Speaker 12: the grid and the power grid, those kind of soft
Speaker 12: targets we've been talking about for a while.
Speaker 3: We're going to guest on a three o'clock to talk
Speaker 3: about that. We'll lighten things up a little bit.
Speaker 12: We'll talk about talk to John Rizzley, the patent professor. Yes,
Speaker 12: at four o'clock. Angel Reese, you're a girl. Angel Reese
Speaker 12: wants to patent the phrase me bounds. Oh, her offensive
Speaker 12: rebounds because she misses all the shots, so she gets
Speaker 12: the rebounds. They're called me bounds. Wow, she wants to
Speaker 12: patent that, so that much much more. It's a great Showcas.
Speaker 12: You already get together with Mariah Carey, who wants to patent.
Speaker 12: All I want for Christmas is you and the two
Speaker 12: of them could have a patent fest. Ye, maybe with
Speaker 12: pat leather Shoes, who knows. Have a great show.
