Speaker 2: Hey Joe. How come Dave Hatter never talks about scams.

Speaker 2: term every week. I think of, like, what was it yesterday?
Speaker 2: A juice Joe? Juice jacking? That was with Jay rat
Speaker 2: If I heard me the aviation expert reporting on the
Speaker 2: fact that you should avoid using the charging stations at
Speaker 2: airports because hackers can control your computer or a hack
Speaker 2: into your computer and steal from it. He didn't know
Speaker 2: what it was called. I didn't know what it was called.
Speaker 2: But Dave had was listening to the program and he
Speaker 2: sent Joe an email. It's called juice jacking. I don't
Speaker 2: know that i'd heard that one before. He may have
Speaker 2: brought that one up. But there are so many terms
Speaker 2: in tech these days today. Brushing You and I will
Speaker 2: learn together. Unless you're on tech, unless you're tech savvy
Speaker 2: and already know what it is, we'll talk about that.
Speaker 2: We also have TV ads analyzing your emotions in order
Speaker 2: to show your ads based on the emotions that you're expressing.
Speaker 2: Frightening technology. This is why I hate smart TVs. And finally,
Speaker 2: with Dave, had to vote for the best tech in Cincinnati.

Speaker 2: ens or is he coming in the studio? Joe usually does,
Speaker 2: always does. That is true love Todds Zinser. In the
Speaker 2: work that he does. He is such an Intelligent man
Speaker 2: Form Inspector in General for the United States of America,
Speaker 2: Citizen Watchdog Inspector General for the City of Cincinnati on
Speaker 2: behalf of this citizenry not in the paid capacity. Todd
Speaker 2: doesn't get paid for the work that he does, but

Speaker 2: talk about other city based shenanigans with Citizen Watchdog Tod
Speaker 2: censer and God bless you Todd for the work that
Speaker 2: you're doing, at least trying to keep the council people
Speaker 2: and the mayor of the city accountable. Do they listen
Speaker 2: to him? Usually not. Usually they keep their head down
Speaker 2: and they're really upset when he sends them letters that
Speaker 2: put them on the spot. And God bless Fridays. God
Speaker 2: bless the German citizenry in the city of Cincinnati, the
Speaker 2: various German societies today. And I have a feeling there
Speaker 2: will be food in the studio and I will eat
Speaker 2: it in the studio. To my employers, go ahead, fire me.
Speaker 2: Donna Schwaben schwabin Fest is this weekend. I'm tired of
Speaker 2: lying about not eating food in the studio and my
Speaker 2: German friends and other festivals come into town and they
Speaker 2: come in the morning show bringing bearing gifts. I'm in
Speaker 2: a point in my career where they can go ahead
Speaker 2: and fire me, knock yourselves out. So let's enjoy the
Speaker 2: final hour of the fifty five kcing Morning Show together.
Speaker 2: We'll find out about Donnash Robin, what's going to be
Speaker 2: happening at the weekend, what kind of food you'll be eating,
Speaker 2: and the festivities, the gimmut, the kite you will be enjoying.
Speaker 2: They're great people at Donna Schwabin. So there's your lineup
Speaker 2: this morning, and again feel free to call. And it
Speaker 2: is D Day, June sixth, the beginning of the end
Speaker 2: of World War Two. And thank you jos Chrecker for
Speaker 2: this article, because you know what, according to Defense dot Gov,
Speaker 2: where this article appears, five things you may not know
Speaker 2: about D Day. So rather than talk about Elon Musk
Speaker 2: and Donald Trump trading barbes on social media, it isn't
Speaker 2: that a sort of a I understand social media, and
Speaker 2: I understand X and I understand truth, and I understand
Speaker 2: that is the way people communicate these days. But I
Speaker 2: find it to be a childish childish, childish thing.
Speaker 4: God.
Speaker 2: Anyway, it's got me down this morning. If you haven't
Speaker 2: gotten the impression of that already. Anyway, D Day, the
Speaker 2: masion of Normandy, Operation Overlord, goes by a bunch of
Speaker 2: different names. Do you know where you know where the
Speaker 2: D Day came from? Why it is called D Day?
Speaker 2: According to Defense dot Gov, that is the most frequently
Speaker 2: asked question of the National World War Two Museum. The
Speaker 2: true meaning remains up for debate, they say, But we'll
Speaker 2: go with us. General Dwight D. Eisenhower and what he said,
Speaker 2: through his executive assistant, Brigadier General Robert Schultz quote be
Speaker 2: advised that any amphibious operation has a departure date shortened
Speaker 2: to D Day. He said, there were actually several other
Speaker 2: D Days during the war. Normandy just happened to be
Speaker 2: the biggest and most well known for obvious reasons. To
Speaker 2: anybody who remember has any recollection of the events of
Speaker 2: World War Two, actually set up a day earlier. And
Speaker 2: when I went on my first honor flight, I went
Speaker 2: with a World War Two veteran who was deployed and
Speaker 2: worked in the weather forecasting area. And he actually felt
Speaker 2: a little badly about that. He said, I didn't see combat.
Speaker 2: I wasn't part of the combat. I kind of feel
Speaker 2: like he didn't say I shouldn't be here, but there
Speaker 2: were a lot of combat veterans there, and he sort
Speaker 2: of felt like a second class citizen. And I looked
Speaker 2: at him, I said, what are you talking about? I said,
Speaker 2: wellout guy's like you, you know, doing weather forecasting. I mean,
Speaker 2: and I even mentioned D Day, which was impacted by
Speaker 2: the weather whether A lot of weather related requirements were
Speaker 2: necessary to pull it off. They needed to be long
Speaker 2: days from maximum air airpower usage. A near full moon
Speaker 2: was needed to help guide ships and airborne troops. The
Speaker 2: tides had to be strong enough to expose beast obstacles
Speaker 2: at low tide and float supply filled landing vehicles onto
Speaker 2: the beach during the high tide. Each hour also crucial,
Speaker 2: and then it relied on those tides to be rising
Speaker 2: at the time. There also had to be an hour
Speaker 2: of daylight just before bombard beforehand for bombardment accuracy. Only
Speaker 2: nine days in May and June fit all of those requirements,
Speaker 2: so Convenders eventually sett it on the fifth of June. However,
Speaker 2: thanks to forecasts that showed a short window of good
Speaker 2: weather that day, Eisenhower decided last minute to switch D
Speaker 2: Day to the early hours of June sixth, so there
Speaker 2: you have it. Weather forecasters obviously had a profound impact
Speaker 2: on the success of the invasion. Stories of how US
Speaker 2: troops stormed the beach is of Normandy legendary, with names
Speaker 2: Omaha Beach and Utah Beach standing out foremost in people's minds.
Speaker 2: With the invasions stretched out over fifty miles, so the
Speaker 2: United States couldn't do it alone. The other beach invasions
Speaker 2: by Allied troops happened simultaneously. Great Britain and some smaller
Speaker 2: forces stormed Gold and Sword Beaches. Canada, and the Canadians
Speaker 2: took Juneo Beach almost a failure. A lot went wrong
Speaker 2: on D Day, they report, especially for the Americans who
Speaker 2: refers to launch the invasions. Thousands of US paratroopers died
Speaker 2: in their drop behind enemy lines at Utah Beach, shot
Speaker 2: out of the sky by enemy fire, or weighted down
Speaker 2: and drowning in flooded marshes. That is something I had
Speaker 2: no idea having. Many also missed their landing spots, as
Speaker 2: did some of the Seaborn forces which landed more than
Speaker 2: a mile from their intended destinations thanks to strong currents.
Speaker 2: Omaha offensive turned out to be the bloodiest of the
Speaker 2: day because while Army intelligence underestimated the German stronghold there,
Speaker 2: rough surf caused huge problems for the amphibious tanks launched
Speaker 2: it see, only two of twenty nine made it to
Speaker 2: the shore. Many of the infantrymen who stormed off the
Speaker 2: boats gunned down by Germans. General Omar Bradley, who led
Speaker 2: the Omaha forces, nearly considered abandoning the operation. And I
Speaker 2: think of that, getting off of one of those amphibious
Speaker 2: landing crafts, knowing full well there's a whole bunch of
Speaker 2: Germans with machine guns aiming right at you, dropping from
Speaker 2: the sky in a parachute. You're just a target. Talk
Speaker 2: about stones, talk about whoevos. In spite of those challenges,
Speaker 2: both sectors of US troops managed to advance their positions
Speaker 2: for overall success. Also, Enigma decoding, the German code machine
Speaker 2: known as Enigma really and they say they refer to
Speaker 2: as one of the most brilliant strategies, came out of
Speaker 2: World War Two. Radio, the standard communication at the time.
Speaker 2: Allies and access powers both needed machines to turn military
Speaker 2: plans into secret codes. Germans had this Enigma device, thought
Speaker 2: to be unbreakable until they broke it. A team of
Speaker 2: Polish and British experts led by Alan Turing, which you
Speaker 2: can check out the story it's depicted in the Oscar
Speaker 2: winning movie The Imitation Game, they cracked the code and
Speaker 2: what became the foundation for the modern computer. Instead of
Speaker 2: telling the world about it, though, the leaders thought the
Speaker 2: device would be more useful if they kept secret amen
Speaker 2: so for years Germans plans hindered by the decryptid messages,
Speaker 2: including on D Day. Officials said German codes intercepted before
Speaker 2: D Day precisely pinpointed nearly all of the German fighting
Speaker 2: units in the Normandy area On D Day itself. It
Speaker 2: helped Allied commanders get word of their troops progress quicker
Speaker 2: and through their own communication channels. So the Germans are
Speaker 2: up there talking about, hey, they're over, they're storming this
Speaker 2: beach here, they're right there, and we knew they knew
Speaker 2: where we were, so obviously you can adjust the situation accordingly.
Speaker 2: Breaking Germany's codes later those of the Japanese proved to
Speaker 2: be the huge advantage that we enjoyed in the Allies included.
Speaker 2: While current controversial for its secrecy, the decoding process widely
Speaker 2: credited with saving hundreds of thousands of lives and shortening
Speaker 2: the war by nearly two years. We actually developed our
Speaker 2: own superior code machine called Sigaba Sigaba before entering the war,
Speaker 2: and that code was never broken. So sixth of June
Speaker 2: D Day, God bless the American patriotarly American veterans, those
Speaker 2: who proudly served World War Two, and of course the
Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands who lost their lives in the name
Speaker 2: of freedom and fighting off the Nazis and the Japanese,
Speaker 2: and of course for a while the Italians. Five sixteen
Speaker 2: coming up a five seventeen fifty five KRCD talk station
Speaker 2: planning more to talk about coming up. I hope you
Speaker 2: can stick around and you can feel free to call
Speaker 2: love to hear from you. You're right back fifty five
Speaker 2: car the talk station this September seven, five one, right
Speaker 2: now that the five care CD talk sit first, some
Speaker 2: word from leven you get out of bed music, feel
Speaker 2: free to call if you care. If you five KRC
Speaker 2: dot com, don't forget the podcast page. Jay Ratliffe always
Speaker 2: enjoyed talking with Jack. Just really love that guy to death.
Speaker 2: So we had some interesting topics in the aviation report. Yesterday,
Speaker 2: Ohio State Representative Jennifer Gross in studio for a full hour.
Speaker 2: We talked medicaid. It's a mess in Ohio. But fortunately
Speaker 2: they're working on it. They got some people on the
Speaker 2: job now trying to fire it out. The fraud, wasted abuse,
Speaker 2: saving hopefully at some point up to six billion dollars
Speaker 2: that is going to people who are not eligible for Medicaid.
Speaker 2: That is so distressing. You have people that have assets
Speaker 2: north of a million dollars that have been getting Medicaid.
Speaker 2: And what really irked me is, you know, we have
Speaker 2: a paid vendor, third party vendor. It's Lexus Nexus. They're
Speaker 2: paid to let the state know and let the Medical
Speaker 2: HOI Medicaid Department know what people's assets are. If you
Speaker 2: have more than X number of dollars in your bank account,
Speaker 2: you're not eligible. Lexus Nexus, at the behest of one
Speaker 2: of our representatives, did it get a look, looked at
Speaker 2: a slice of the disabled and elderly, and looking at
Speaker 2: that slice, I think they looked at north of fifty percent.
Speaker 2: They found twenty plus percent of them had assets way
Speaker 2: north of what the eligibility cut off is. It's a
Speaker 2: huge amount of money Medicaid. I think, Jennifer said twenty
Speaker 2: three hundred dollars a month. So you multiply that times twelve.
Speaker 2: When you multiply that times the number of people they
Speaker 2: found that have assets that exceed the eligibility level, you
Speaker 2: come up with billions of dollars. And that's just a
Speaker 2: slice of those who are on Medicaid. God knows how
Speaker 2: many out there who aren't eligible in other areas of
Speaker 2: the program. So the beginning, hopefully of the end of fraud, waste,
Speaker 2: and abuse, we should be leading the country and ferreting
Speaker 2: this out, you know. And it's no the thing that
Speaker 2: people keep going to. Well, the federal government's reimbursing us
Speaker 2: for you know, fifty percent of or in the Medicaid expansion.
Speaker 2: Then under the Obama era, federal government's reimbursing for ninety
Speaker 2: percent of the expansion of Medicaid. People. Well, you know,
Speaker 2: that's your taxpayer dollars. I don't care if they came
Speaker 2: from some other state. We should be as angry about
Speaker 2: taxpayer dollars being wasted, regardless of what state they came
Speaker 2: from the federal government doesn't produce its own money. Well,
Speaker 2: I say that knowing they have a printing press. But
Speaker 2: the tax dollars that are taken in come from every
Speaker 2: corner of the entire United States. So people in Alaska
Speaker 2: are paying for fraud, waste, and abuse in California, New
Speaker 2: York and everyplace else that exists through the federal government's
Speaker 2: reimbursement for Medicare payments. It's sinful. Jack Windsor joined the
Speaker 2: program also investigative reporter. He's a good guy and he's
Speaker 2: been studying the Ohio Medicaid fraud and abuse in Ohio
Speaker 2: and had some really disturbing facts, which, of course Jennifer
Speaker 2: Gross was able to double down on and provide some
Speaker 2: more flesh on the bones with the conversation I had
Speaker 2: with Jack Windsor. So you can get a chance to
Speaker 2: listen a lot. There's some interesting podcasts right there at
Speaker 2: fifty five cares dot com. Let's get Daryl's call. Hey Daryl,
Speaker 2: welcome in the morning Showy, good to hear from you,
Speaker 2: and happy Friday to you.
Speaker 5: Thank you. I had an uncle that was in Normandy
Speaker 5: and he when we got to talk to him about
Speaker 5: him and his later years. And that's when he kind
Speaker 5: of broke down and told us because for years no one,
Speaker 5: he wouldn't say nothing to no one about it. He said,
Speaker 5: it's the bloodiest thing that he ever seen in his life.
Speaker 5: And he got Pope hard out of it. Yeah, he
Speaker 5: was wounded, and he says, it's just amazing. And I
Speaker 5: had an uncle that was on the PT boat with
Speaker 5: John F.
Speaker 2: Kennedy.
Speaker 4: OK.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And if you don't remember me, I'm the one
Speaker 5: that gave you that record.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Darryl.
Speaker 2: I appreciate that, man.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It was a broadcast about the end of of World
Speaker 2: War Two that was from fifty five K. See. They
Speaker 2: printed a vinyl LP copy of it. Darryl passed that
Speaker 2: along to me. That was a beautiful gift, Darrel, And
Speaker 2: I truly appreciate it. That's amazing, man, You know I can.
Speaker 2: And you know there are so many veterans out there
Speaker 2: that have been in combat that and it's a typical
Speaker 2: phenomenon that they don't want to talk about it. And
Speaker 2: you know, modern movies depict warfare in the I think
Speaker 2: the very realistic form. Usually it creates this impression we
Speaker 2: shouldn't even be in war, and we can all debate
Speaker 2: whether or not that's appropriate or not. But the idea
Speaker 2: of you know, you being right there in a trench
Speaker 2: or wherever you happen to be, and seeing your best friend,
Speaker 2: your comrade, your buddy, the guy that you eat with,
Speaker 2: slept with, you know, hung out with for you know,
Speaker 2: a long time, getting his head blown off. I just
Speaker 2: can't imagine ever getting over that tragedy, and I certainly
Speaker 2: can imagine not wanting to talk about it. Reliving that
Speaker 2: experience has just got to be horrific. But quite often
Speaker 2: talking about it can help you get through the experience,
Speaker 2: and so I think I'm always encouraging veterans to share
Speaker 2: their stories with other people so we can all understand
Speaker 2: the realities of warfare. Good to hear from you, Daryl Man.
Speaker 2: I hope you have a great weekend, and thanks again
Speaker 2: for that wonderful gift you passed along at listener line
Speaker 2: five to twenty six. Right now for five k see
Speaker 2: talk station local stories or more phone calls. I prefer
Speaker 2: the latter, but we'll do where we do. Be right
Speaker 2: back fifty five KRC dot com. Chan and I have
Speaker 2: first one to web forecasts. Today we get scattered showers
Speaker 2: and storms developing later this afternoon. Higher chances of sphere
Speaker 2: weather just love this, but still a marginal risk. Ah
Speaker 2: eighty for the high today, overnight low sixty seven, with
Speaker 2: more rain and storms expected. Saturday, some sun, mostly clouds,
Speaker 2: some rain and storm chances eighty two for the high.
Speaker 2: Rain is likely. Overnight storms are expected sixty five the
Speaker 2: low and mostly cloudy Sunday, with a chance to rain.
Speaker 2: Seventy eight for the high. Right now, it's sixty nine
Speaker 2: degrees five k SEV Talk station, Happy Friday. Hey, it
Speaker 2: may and then again it may not rain. Does that
Speaker 2: mean you're right regardless of what happens? Fifty two three
Speaker 2: talk on show to the phones, Tom, Happy Friday, Brother,
Speaker 2: Good year from you, Hey.
Speaker 7: Good morning. You know you have a lot of fun
Speaker 7: with his weather, don't you.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what it's it's like they it's like
Speaker 2: politicians covering their bases. You know, Hey, it might I
Speaker 2: said might. I didn't say would. I didn't say wouldn't
Speaker 2: I said might. Anyway, I know it's well and again
Speaker 2: I'm going back to the World War Two veteran that
Speaker 2: I was able to go with to uh The on
Speaker 2: the honor flight and that was his job. And obviously
Speaker 2: folks like that did a pretty damn good job predicting
Speaker 2: the weather for the D Day invasion.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you cannot say enough about veterans people, especially the
Speaker 7: ones that volunteered. I know, we I know, it's it's
Speaker 7: been a while. We've had a draft and people were
Speaker 7: were drugged into in the war that I didn't want
Speaker 7: to do. But once they got there, they fought with
Speaker 7: everything they had. And and uh again, then you had
Speaker 7: the people that volunteered and and re upped and stuck
Speaker 7: with it and went through some pretty horrific things that
Speaker 7: there There is absolutely no way to ever thank these
Speaker 7: people enough for their service. I try to do it.
Speaker 7: Every time I see somebody, you know, weary something that
Speaker 7: that may seem like they were in the military or whatever.
Speaker 7: I try to thank them for the service. And even
Speaker 7: even uh, you know, police officers and and buyer department people,
Speaker 7: I you know, thank them for their services. It is
Speaker 7: a necessary thing for people to put themselves in harm's
Speaker 7: way to to take care of the rest of us.
Speaker 7: That that fortunately for us, we don't.
Speaker 1: Have to do that.
Speaker 7: And uh, I again, I just I don't know, there's
Speaker 7: no words to really thank them. So but you just
Speaker 7: say thank you and and had some have some gratitude,
Speaker 7: and and and then you and then you deal with
Speaker 7: these slackers and I mean some of it's kind of
Speaker 7: a close call. But some of these people that change
Speaker 7: the subjects. Here's somebody people that take this medicare medicaid
Speaker 7: stuff for free, and they know they know they're not
Speaker 7: eligible for it, but they figure out a way to
Speaker 7: work the system. You know that these slackers that they
Speaker 7: don't want to work, they don't want to do what
Speaker 7: they need to do to take care of themselves. And
Speaker 7: it's it's a shame. But you do have those kind
Speaker 7: of people, and you have you have the brave ones,
Speaker 7: the strong ones, and and the ones that that that
Speaker 7: don't you know, want to have handouts, but you know,
Speaker 7: bust their buds to take care of themselves and their family.
Speaker 7: And then you got a budge of slackers and it
Speaker 7: and it's a shame you got to have. But that's
Speaker 7: you know, that's what we got to deal with. And
Speaker 7: the only way to combat is is don't vote democrats,
Speaker 7: have a great have a great.
Speaker 2: Weekend riety sometimes circuit this route to get to the point.
Speaker 2: He ultimately wants to make Tom does not have a
Speaker 2: monopoly the five thirty hour, although I really truly appreciate
Speaker 2: her from a five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty
Speaker 2: two to three talk ah, let us get to us
Speaker 2: some local stories. Uh Man charged with connection with the
Speaker 2: fatal shooting in Lincoln Heights, happened Thursday morning court of
Speaker 2: Hamilt County Sheriff's Office. They showed up to the nine
Speaker 2: hundred block of Bird Avenue at about eight thirty a m.

Speaker 2: the victim and suspect knew each other. Oh, I'm going
Speaker 2: to weep over this one. Advocate for a passenger rail
Speaker 2: in Ohio pushing back against changes made by the Senate
Speaker 2: to the state budget, arguing it's going to make expanding
Speaker 2: passenger rail more difficult. Sentence version of the States to
Speaker 2: your Budget released earlier this week. We've been talking about.
Speaker 2: Some of the elements of that Senate removed The following
Speaker 2: provision passed by the House. Mid West Interstate Passenger Rail
Speaker 2: Compact earmarked twenty five thousand dollars in each fiscal year
Speaker 2: to pay for the cost of Ohio joining the compact.
Speaker 2: That's been taken out. This Midwest Interstate Passenger Rail Compact
Speaker 2: MIPRC apparently brings together state leaders from across the region
Speaker 2: on a bipartisan basis to advocate for passenger rail improvements.
Speaker 2: Current members Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio,
Speaker 2: and South Dakota all eligible to join. Ohio opted in
Speaker 2: two thousand and two, but repealed the funding in twenty thirteen.
Speaker 2: In its current form, all abord Ohio that is a group.
Speaker 2: Board president Mitch Radakovich said it will make the expansion
Speaker 2: of passenger rail more difficulty. Joe can read my mind.
Speaker 2: One man been arrested to the death of Patrick Herringer,
Speaker 2: the co owner of the over the Line Jim Finley

Speaker 11: Yeah, and uh, I love you show. I talked to

Speaker 11: going in here in a second, but I always give
Speaker 11: him the lowdown of all the articles you have and
Speaker 11: all the stuff. So I love I love your program,
Speaker 11: and also I know you ride. Yeah, and I've got
Speaker 11: a little sporting myself. Eight eighty three sportster.
Speaker 1: Oh okay.
Speaker 2: I had a twelve hundred XLC Harley years and years
Speaker 2: ago and it was a ninety seven XLC.
Speaker 12: Wow.
Speaker 1: Wow we kept that.
Speaker 11: Imagine what that would be worth now?
Speaker 2: Oh I tricked it out, man. You know when I
Speaker 2: sold it, I sold it to a real dear friend
Speaker 2: of mine. I had a stretched tank on accustom painted,
Speaker 2: I had every dude to add KURRYOC and hypercharger and
Speaker 2: it was just it looked awesome.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 2: It was just a great bike. Torkie as hell. Those
Speaker 2: that V twin man is a Torquie motor.
Speaker 11: I know, I'm telling you. And when are we going
Speaker 11: to get some riding weather. That's what I'm asking. Well,
Speaker 11: it's I'm right, I got a fifty mile commute.
Speaker 2: Well, I haven't been riding much.
Speaker 4: You're right.
Speaker 2: I think I've been on my bike twice this year.
Speaker 2: It sounds sad and pathetic for riders out there who
Speaker 2: get a lot of miles in. I am a very
Speaker 2: fair weather rider, Larry, you know, very fair weather rider.
Speaker 2: So but we'll keep our fingers crossed. I know it's
Speaker 2: right around the corner at some point, Larry, stay safe,
Speaker 2: keep those two wheels on the ground. And I didn't ask,
Speaker 2: but most of my Harley riding friends are not helmet wearers.
Speaker 2: And I will admit that when I had my Harley
Speaker 2: back in the day, I did not wear a helmet.
Speaker 2: That was when I the custom paint guy that I
Speaker 2: just mentioned by my custom paint job, total stoner, dude,
Speaker 2: beautiful artwork. But when I pulled in without my helmet on,
Speaker 2: he looked at me. He goes, dude, you got a
Speaker 2: ten dollars head. At least put it in a ten
Speaker 2: dollars bucket. So anyway, Charlie, welcome to the program. Happy
Speaker 2: Friday to you.
Speaker 13: Yeah, good morning, Brian. I love your program. Listen to
Speaker 13: it off and on as much as I can. I
Speaker 13: uh had a few comments about D Day. My dad
Speaker 13: was in World War two in the Pacific and he
Speaker 13: was he and his men were climbing down on Jacob's
Speaker 13: rope rope ladder into a leaning graft and he had
Speaker 13: a similar experience as the guys in in D Day
Speaker 13: in Normandy. Japanese zero straight the water right by them
Speaker 13: and just missed my dad and as men he was with,
Speaker 13: so luckily they didn't succeed.
Speaker 11: That leaves me.
Speaker 13: That leads me to the question. I watched Allo the
Speaker 13: History Channel a lot and shared all these armies, ancient
Speaker 13: armies fighting one another, and besides him with spears and swords,
Speaker 13: the all he had had shields a hide behind. Why
Speaker 13: couldn't there in World War Two they weld these very
Speaker 13: thick heavy plates, steel plates on the front of tractors
Speaker 13: and move the tractors off the first thing off the
Speaker 13: landing craft and the men can hide behind me. The
Speaker 13: steel you know, plates similar to the plates that they
Speaker 13: put on roads when they're repairing laying pips, and they
Speaker 13: put these heavy steel plates. Why couldn't they welded a
Speaker 13: couple of those in front of these tractors, you know,
Speaker 13: and hide behind them and save and save a lot
Speaker 13: of lies.
Speaker 2: I am sure they try to contemplate that, but I've
Speaker 2: seen enough stories about the issues that those brave men
Speaker 2: face storm on the beaches at you know, Omaha Beach
Speaker 2: and Utah as well as the others. The landing craft
Speaker 2: couldn't make it all the way to the shore, so
Speaker 2: they ended up, you know, wading through multiple feet of water,
Speaker 2: or at least even they had to swim through the
Speaker 2: water in order to make it to the beach. I
Speaker 2: don't know how you get a vehicle to get through
Speaker 2: that to hide behind. And that's one of the challenges
Speaker 2: of landing on the beach is being able to get
Speaker 2: heavy military hardware onto the beach. So you got to
Speaker 2: secure the beach first before you can land that heavy stuff.
Speaker 2: Because that probably required removing those giant tank of those
Speaker 2: giant barriers that the enemy had placed in the water,
Speaker 2: you know, the welded metal structures you see those look
Speaker 2: like a game of jacks laying all over the place.
Speaker 2: Multiple challenges, but I'm sure they contemplated that. It's just
Speaker 2: logistically probably weren't able to accomplish it. So Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: impossible for me to question the strategy of our generals
Speaker 2: at the time, but I'm willing to guess that they
Speaker 2: tried to figure out a way that they could best
Speaker 2: protect the soldiers' lives before sending them into open fire.
Speaker 2: Just speculation of my apartment. I do appreciate the call
Speaker 2: six twelve real quick. I this ridiculous political theater going
Speaker 2: on between Donald Trump and Elon Musk and the one
Speaker 2: comment that's led everybody's talking about it, and I'm bringing
Speaker 2: it up, and I know I'm perpetuating it, but it's
Speaker 2: time to analyze it. Elon Musk, time to drop the
Speaker 2: really big bomb. Trump is in the Epstein files. That
Speaker 2: is the reason they have not been made public. Have
Speaker 2: a nice day, DJT mark this post for the future.
Speaker 2: The truth will come out now. I'm sure that's got
Speaker 2: the Democrats all giddy with excitement, but many of the
Speaker 2: Republicans running to Trump's defense, and I understand defending him,
Speaker 2: pointing out and saying, well, wait a second, If Donald
Speaker 2: Trump is in the Epstein files, why wouldn't Joe Biden
Speaker 2: release it? They hated that guy. I mean, we got
Speaker 2: one representative after another. Randy Flyin I lest you fine,
Speaker 2: he's a Republican from Florida. What I would say is,
Speaker 2: if Joe Biden had Donald Trump and the Epstein law logs,
Speaker 2: there's no question it would have come out during the campaign.
Speaker 2: A similar statement echoed over and over and over from
Speaker 2: all the people that were interviewed with this. Okay, that's
Speaker 2: a fair statement, and your immediate reaction might be, yeah,
Speaker 2: of course they would have released it. They had some
Speaker 2: goods on Trump related to the pedophile Epstein, then of
Speaker 2: course it would have come out. Representative Annapolina Luna, Florida
Speaker 2: speaking to speaking to Jeffrey Epstein, I would be very
Speaker 2: specific that I do believe that if President Trump was
Speaker 2: in the Epstein files, they have been released during the primary,
Speaker 2: and they didn't. Another quote. So the fact is that
Speaker 2: I do not believe President Trump is in the Epstein
Speaker 2: files the way it's being implied. But either way, it's
Speaker 2: why we continue to push for transparency. Ah now, let
Speaker 2: me just put a spin on it, and my Trump
Speaker 2: loving friends and you know me, I appreciate Donald Trump
Speaker 2: the vast majority of what he does. I know he
Speaker 2: alienated Epstein, kicked him out of the golf course after
Speaker 2: he was implicated on child molestation charge are convicted of them,
Speaker 2: and he divorced his relationship with Epstein. Whether or not
Speaker 2: he had any involvement with Epstein along some sort of
Speaker 2: salacious lines unknown to me, but it's unknown to you
Speaker 2: as well. And the comments from all of these elected officials,
Speaker 2: the folks that are supposed to be in charge, are
Speaker 2: supposed to the folks that are supposed to have access
Speaker 2: to this behind the scenes information. They're all speculating if
Speaker 2: that was true. I don't believe it's true. How could
Speaker 2: it be that that Biden wouldn't release it if it
Speaker 2: was true. They don't know. So the larger question for
Speaker 2: me is why don't we know? We've been talking about
Speaker 2: this stuff for years and years. His madam was implicated,
Speaker 2: his serving time in jail, he's dead. FBI just confirmed
Speaker 2: that he did in fact kill himself. Believe it or not,
Speaker 2: that's just exactly what the FBI said. And you know,
Speaker 2: we got this grainy video shows that nobody was enter
Speaker 2: out of there. The guards regularly checked on him until
Speaker 2: he died. I can't answer that question. But what I
Speaker 2: can't observe is this if in addressing the question why
Speaker 2: no one seems to know what's in them, and why
Speaker 2: you and I don't know what's in them. They're back there.
Speaker 2: They have the files, they have the information, they have
Speaker 2: the videotape, they have all the evidence they collected from
Speaker 2: Epstein's Pedophile Island. If in fact Donald Trump is implicated,
Speaker 2: If in fact Donald Trump has some bad details in
Speaker 2: the Epstein files, as we're gonna call them, you know
Speaker 2: why they wouldn't release them is because there are so
Speaker 2: many Democrats that are in there too, which suggests to
Speaker 2: me you and I probably won't ever know. Six sixteen
Speaker 2: fifty five KRCD Talk station. I got a great way
Speaker 2: to save you literally thousands of dollars. Ask my friend Jeff,
Speaker 2: who will send me an email if he's listening to
Speaker 2: the program with a big smiley face, because he does
Speaker 2: it every time I mentioned Affordable Imaging Services. Because Jeff
Speaker 2: took my advice, got his CT scan there and saved
Speaker 2: thirty one hundred dollars, I guess he called the imaging
Speaker 2: department of the hospital, found out what he was going
Speaker 2: to pay, and he went to Affordable Imaging Services. If
Speaker 2: he didn't get a contrast, he paid four hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty bucks for a CT scan. If he got a contrast,
Speaker 2: he paid six hundred. Bottom line is he saved thirty
Speaker 2: one hundred dollars. I call that a lot of money.
Speaker 2: And that CT case again could cost you five thousand
Speaker 2: at a hospital. I've had multiple CT scans at affordable
Speaker 2: imaging services, same kind of equipment, whether it's an echo cardogram, MRI,
Speaker 2: CT scan or ultrasound, same stuff. The hospitals using medical
Speaker 2: professionals using it, and they've been doing this for years
Speaker 2: and years and years, but a fraction of the cost.
Speaker 2: Don't pay thirty five hundred dollars for echo cardiogram, pay
Speaker 2: five hundred without an enhancement, eight hundred with an enhancement.
Speaker 2: And affordable imaging. Every image comes with the board certified
Speaker 2: radiologist report. And a doctor has never ever ever criticized
Speaker 2: or otherwise had any you know, looking down their nose
Speaker 2: about the images they got I'm affordable, or the report
Speaker 2: they got from the radiologist. They just give me the diagnosis.
Speaker 2: So save yourself some money, exercise your choice when it
Speaker 2: comes to your medical care. It's low overhead. I'm telling
Speaker 2: you in advance, but that's one of the ways they
Speaker 2: can pass along this massive savings to you five one
Speaker 2: three seven, five three eight thousand, five one three seven,
Speaker 2: five three eight thousand online Affordable Medimaging dot Com. This
Speaker 2: is Ted Cruz, Join me six twenty one Here fifty

Speaker 2: talks David, you're looking forward to Donnas Robin swabbinfest this week.
Speaker 2: We'll hear from my German friends in the eight o'clock hour.
Speaker 2: Let's turn to the phone. So we got Tom in
Speaker 2: the line with a comment, Tom, thanks for calling this morning.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I have a question.
Speaker 14: Do you think well the United States will learn a
Speaker 14: lesson from this surprise Ukraine attack with the drones. We
Speaker 14: never earned any any World War two in the attack
Speaker 14: on Pearl Harbor when we lined off or battleships in
Speaker 14: a right in a straight row along the island there
Speaker 14: in the Hawaii, and now we had the Chinese buying
Speaker 14: up all the farm land around our military basis. Do
Speaker 14: you think there might be a futuristic reason for that?
Speaker 2: You know, the timing could be better for her, comment Tom,
Speaker 2: because there are literally dozens and dozens of articles talking
Speaker 2: about exactly that ever since the Ukraine sneak drone attack,
Speaker 2: lots of them. There's legislation in almost every state either
Speaker 2: prohibit Chinese Communist Party folks from owning land around military
Speaker 2: bases and other sensitive institutions. There was a governor just
Speaker 2: the other day, and I can't remember which stated is
Speaker 2: that vetoed a legislation banning it, much to the chagrin
Speaker 2: of the citizens of the state. There was comments connecting
Speaker 2: the so called UFOs whatever they're calling them these days,
Speaker 2: that they are actually Chinese drones and that information has
Speaker 2: been kept from us. It's just everywhere you turn, so
Speaker 2: it is on literally everyone's radar, and they don't keep
Speaker 2: us informed about much at all, our lettered agencies and government.
Speaker 2: We're not entitled to the information. But you know, they
Speaker 2: have to have been thinking about this. They have to
Speaker 2: have been thinking about this. And if they haven't been
Speaker 2: thinking about this. The illustration provided by Ukraine and it's successful,
Speaker 2: you know, its ability to knock out seven billion dollars
Speaker 2: worth of aircraft with only a few thousand dollars worth
Speaker 2: of drones, and I may be exaggerating, is a real
Speaker 2: eye opener. But given that drones have been around for
Speaker 2: so long. We've been using them ourselves for many, many years,
Speaker 2: see Afghanistan and various other conflicts in the Middle East
Speaker 2: and elsewhere. They're very capable and handy things to have.
Speaker 2: They're a lot cheaper than an F thirty five aircraft.
Speaker 2: You can blow something up with a really inexpensive drone.
Speaker 2: So from a military hardware perspective, I think that's a
Speaker 2: better avenue of spending money than billions of dollars for
Speaker 2: I think soon to be pointless manned aircraft. Go ahead,
Speaker 2: defend the aircraft if you want. But yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 2: a real lesson that we are learning. But how do
Speaker 2: you deal with it simply banning the ownership of land?
Speaker 2: And I don't have any problem with banning the ownership
Speaker 2: of land by foreign entities around our military installations. But
Speaker 2: you know, these drones can fly hundreds, if not thousands
Speaker 2: of miles in some cases. They can get a ship
Speaker 2: in international waters, one of those big cargo ships, and
Speaker 2: they're everywhere, aren't they. Look at the ports out in California,
Speaker 2: filled one after another, just waiting around, waiting to be unloaded.
Speaker 2: They're massive. How many drones do you think you could
Speaker 2: put on one of those and a lot of them
Speaker 2: come from China. Even though we've got you know, trade
Speaker 2: war going on in tariffs and everything, we're still getting
Speaker 2: stuff from China. The various Chinese Communist Party actors could
Speaker 2: put you know, maybe three, four, ten, twenty thousand drones
Speaker 2: on one of those if the Ukrainians can pull it off.
Speaker 2: Next thing, you know, you got a thousand drones flying
Speaker 2: out of an anchorship, running and going directly toward military targets.
Speaker 2: Maybe in California they only have to fly like twenty
Speaker 2: five miles.
Speaker 6: How can you.
Speaker 2: Protect from that? The answer of I don't know the
Speaker 2: answer to the question. I just ask it out loud,
Speaker 2: because yeah, it's a real challenge. The nature of war
Speaker 2: fighting and warfare in twenty twenty five is dramatically different
Speaker 2: than it was on D Day. Can imagine if we
Speaker 2: had drones on D Day, the thousands of lives that
Speaker 2: would have been saved. Yeah, we bombarded the coast for
Speaker 2: a long long time, much in the same way we
Speaker 2: did with Eujima and the other islands in the South Pacific.
Speaker 2: Bombed a hell out of them over and over and
Speaker 2: over again. And what will we faced with when our
Speaker 2: marines finally landed on those islands, heavy gun fire from
Speaker 2: entrenched Japanese troops who were not impacted by the thousands
Speaker 2: of bombs of God dropped on the island. If you
Speaker 2: had targeted strikes, if you knew exactly where you wanted
Speaker 2: to land, rather than randomly dropping bombs on the islands,
Speaker 2: it would have gone a long way to us saving
Speaker 2: thousands of lives, wouldn't it. That's modern warfare. We didn't
Speaker 2: have it back then. The world's changing rapidly with technology.

Speaker 2: Dave Hatter, Welcome back to the Morning Show, my friend.
Speaker 2: I really appreciate your segment here on the Morning Show.
Speaker 4: Always happy to be here, Brian.
Speaker 2: And thanks for listening. Juice jacking.
Speaker 4: That's what it's called. That's what it's called. Yeah, I
Speaker 4: thought you guys might appreciate that I did, and.
Speaker 2: You know, of course it netted a phrasing button from
Speaker 2: Joe that for folks who are like, what the hell
Speaker 2: is he talking about? If you were listening yesterday to
Speaker 2: aviation expert Jay Rattlove, he was talking about what is
Speaker 2: called juice jacking for those in the know, and that
Speaker 2: means day've hatter that they can hack into your device
Speaker 2: through the charging stations at airports, I guess, and every
Speaker 2: place else there's an open charging station. So don't do that,
Speaker 2: I suppose, is the bottom line on it. Anyway.
Speaker 15: Yeah, Brian quick, you know they make a special type
Speaker 15: of charging cable that won't exchange data. But yeah, I
Speaker 15: can tell you you're better off. Take a power brick
Speaker 15: with you or an extra battery. Do not plug your
Speaker 15: phone or any sort of device into a random USB port.
Speaker 15: There's no there's no telling what could happen, honestly with then,
Speaker 15: I also your last segment. I had a thought on that.
Speaker 15: Mick O Hipponent. I've brought him up on here before.
Speaker 15: He's a well known cyber security expert, and he just
Speaker 15: recently left the company he'd been with for like thirty
Speaker 15: years to work on drones and drone warfare. And he
Speaker 15: is always just great for quotes. He has a great
Speaker 15: quote about drones. Drones are not cheap airplanes, they're expensive bullets.
Speaker 2: Excellent.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, you're a point about being able to target
Speaker 15: and so forth. Yeah, not cheap airplane, expensive bullet. Like Yep,
Speaker 15: that pretty well nails it.
Speaker 2: Fantastic. All right, we have a new scam to talk
Speaker 2: about a new term, so we learn about juice jacking
Speaker 2: and what is brushing?
Speaker 15: Yeah, this is such a weird thing, but apparently it's
Speaker 15: become increasingly common where folks get unwanted packages and then
Speaker 15: you're left to try to figure out, like, well, what
Speaker 15: do I.
Speaker 11: Do with this?
Speaker 4: Do I send it back? Do I keep this stuff?
Speaker 4: What is happening here?
Speaker 2: Can people get on Amazon when they're drunk in the
Speaker 2: late hours? They buy stuff and they wait up the
Speaker 2: next day and forget they placed an order. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: you know it lands on your front Wait did I
Speaker 2: order something? You don't even know if you ordered something?
Speaker 2: That's actually an interesting sort of social phenomenon that you
Speaker 2: get a package delivered and you're like, wait a second,
Speaker 2: did I order this? But this is un want to
Speaker 2: package this from Amazon? According to the article you provided.
Speaker 15: Yeah, and you know, sometimes they're doing this because they
Speaker 15: want to basically, maybe somebody is introducing a new product,
Speaker 15: right so they want to be able to inflate their numbers.
Speaker 15: They want to get people to give them online reviews
Speaker 15: because they send them free stuff. Now you're the attorney
Speaker 15: in this conversation, Brian, But as I understand it, you know,
Speaker 15: if you do get something that shows up at your
Speaker 15: house and you didn't order it, you know, it's yours
Speaker 15: to keep if you wanted. You know, this could be
Speaker 15: some sort of way to try to steal your information.
Speaker 15: I mean, it's it's a weird thing because most scams
Speaker 15: involve trying to steal your money or your information for
Speaker 15: both to some sort of you know, just digital thing.
Speaker 15: They're not spending real money to ship a product of
Speaker 15: some sort to you, you know, And I think that's
Speaker 15: one of the things that's so mind blowing about this,
Speaker 15: because at the end of the day, it costs them
Speaker 15: money to put something in a box.
Speaker 2: There's any investment on the part of the potential scammer
Speaker 2: in actually sending you something. Yeah, unlikely, but again you
Speaker 2: know with a phishing email that I mean, it doesn't
Speaker 2: cost literally anything to do that. But this requires actual
Speaker 2: payment for minimum shipping charges.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. That's one of the things people need
Speaker 4: to under.
Speaker 15: One of the reasons why things like fishing and smashing
Speaker 15: text based fishing is so effective, it's because it's so
Speaker 15: inexpensive and so easy to do. You know, this is
Speaker 15: obviously more difficult. It costs money upfront, and again you're
Speaker 15: just trying to boost your reviews or are you trying
Speaker 15: to get someone to say, okay, I want to return this,
Speaker 15: and then they try to steal your information, you know,
Speaker 15: because you've got to supply a credit card or something
Speaker 15: to credit it to. The bottom line really is and
Speaker 15: apparently this is increasingly common. You can find examples of
Speaker 15: this all around the country where people started getting stuff
Speaker 15: they didn't order, in some cases multiple packages.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 4: Bottom line is, if you get things like this and.
Speaker 15: You don't want it, my advice would be just throw
Speaker 15: it in the garbage, don't reach out, don't contact the
Speaker 15: people you know, if it's something you like and want
Speaker 15: to keep, and as I understand it. In all fifty states,
Speaker 15: it's perfectly legal to keep it. Just move on about
Speaker 15: your business. But I would I would discourage folks if
Speaker 15: this happens to you, to reach out to the organization
Speaker 15: that's sending it, you know, if it's if it's.
Speaker 2: Something drmful, don't scan the QR code.
Speaker 15: Yes, don't scan the QR code for sure. Don't go
Speaker 15: to the websites they're sending you. And if it's an
Speaker 15: electronic device, don't use it. Smart watch, camera, on motherboard,
Speaker 15: all that could be exacted to some nefarious actors. So
Speaker 15: throw that away, definitely. Brian, going back to the juice
Speaker 15: shacking thing, I mean, any electronic device you get could
Speaker 15: be loaded with some sort of malware, do not plug
Speaker 15: it in. And again, if you're getting something and you
Speaker 15: think it's harmful, if you're concerned about it, you know,
Speaker 15: report it to the FTC, report it to the FBI,
Speaker 15: to the Internet Crime Complaints Center.
Speaker 4: IC three dot gov.
Speaker 15: But yeah, do not plug anything electronic in, do not
Speaker 15: turn it on, because strong possibility that that really.
Speaker 4: Is some kind of malware laid lade some.
Speaker 2: Period. And yes, something that fais all right, you know
Speaker 2: what's nefarious? Our next topic, Big Brother is definitely watching
Speaker 2: and it is creepy. More with tech Friday's Dave at
Speaker 2: are coming up. Emmy Federal Credit Union shred events tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Get all your unnecessary, unneeded personal any kind of documents
Speaker 2: you got you want shredded professionally and completely. Get them

Speaker 2: is the highest military interest it dot com. We will
Speaker 2: find Dave Hatter and the crew for all your business
Speaker 2: computer needs. Sponsoring the segment and reminding us of how
Speaker 2: blank and creepy the world is. It's funny because yesterday
Speaker 2: I wore my make or well Fiction Again T shirt,
Speaker 2: and this is an illustration of why I wish that
Speaker 2: would be accomplished. Go ahead, Dave, give us the bad
Speaker 2: news and the creepy news.
Speaker 15: You know, Brian, I bet you're not surprised that I
Speaker 15: also have a make or Well fiction again T shirt?
Speaker 4: You know what?
Speaker 2: I bet you have one for every day of the
Speaker 2: week in different colors.
Speaker 7: I need.
Speaker 15: I need to get to that point. And I like
Speaker 15: to wear it when I go to Kroger. So when
Speaker 15: I'm walking around in there with all their cameras that
Speaker 15: are telling me I'm on video and showing me, I
Speaker 15: like to just point at the shirt as I go
Speaker 15: under the camera.
Speaker 2: I love it. Yeah, I don't feel any good, but
Speaker 2: I as have a Ministry of Truth T shirt which
Speaker 2: is merged with the Department of Homeland Security on its
Speaker 2: own special logos.
Speaker 15: Anyway, I like that. I might have to do many, true,
Speaker 15: I'll have to get one of those. But anyhow, this
Speaker 15: is definitely something right out of the book. But yet
Speaker 15: it's so interesting when you you know, as I'm sure
Speaker 15: you're also not surprised. I have read nineteen eighty four
Speaker 15: many times, many times, and you know, the telescreens in
Speaker 15: there that are always watching you. You know, it's mandated
Speaker 15: by the state and Big Brother. You know, here we're
Speaker 15: dumping all of this garbage, these so called smart devices.
Speaker 15: Another great quote from Mako Hipponent, who wrote a book
Speaker 15: actually on this topic. If it's smart, it's vulnerable.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know. Because these things are.
Speaker 15: Convenient and because they theoretically make our lives easier, we're
Speaker 15: dumping all this garbage into our offices, into our houses.
Speaker 15: You know, it's surveiling you, it's capturing enormous amounts of
Speaker 15: your data. But my real concern with this stuff is
Speaker 15: the security issues. That's not what we're going to talk
Speaker 15: about here. LG one of the big smart TV manufacturers
Speaker 15: is apparently now working with an AI company and they
Speaker 15: are going to use this AI They've entered into some
Speaker 15: kind of partnership with them to figure out what you
Speaker 15: watch and try to based on the content of the shows.
Speaker 15: And by the way, I don't think most people realize this.
Speaker 15: You know, every new or smart TV that I'm aware of,
Speaker 15: has the capability, through software implanted in the device, you know,
Speaker 15: to keep detailed tabs on what you're watching, how long
Speaker 15: you watch it, that sort of thing. So they're capturing
Speaker 15: all that data they're feeding into this AI model and
Speaker 15: then trying to understand like your emotional state. So they
Speaker 15: can not just serve you ads based on what you watch,
Speaker 15: but you know, do more of a psychographic analysis on
Speaker 15: you and serve up ads sort of based on your
Speaker 15: emotional state. Now, as creepy as that that sounds, Brian,
Speaker 15: think about this. Now this this doesn't go into it.
Speaker 15: But you know, again they say here Zenapp's platform for
Speaker 15: connected TV CTV. So if you hear that term, and
Speaker 15: also there's a lot of new terms in the business
Speaker 15: around this. For example that I hadn't heard until maybe
Speaker 15: the last year or so. Another term free ads supported TV,
Speaker 15: which is called fast right, So you know, whether you're
Speaker 15: watching like an Amazon streaming channel or anything going through
Speaker 15: the TV is basically tracking you. So they're going to
Speaker 15: dump your data into this AI and try to figure out,
Speaker 15: you know, like your emotional state and then again send
Speaker 15: you different type of ads. So this direct quote from
Speaker 15: the article Psychographic data is supposed to go deeper and
Speaker 15: allow advertisers to target people based on the so called
Speaker 15: psychological factors like personal beliefs, values, and attitudes. Psychographic segmentation
Speaker 15: delves deeper into their psyche than relying on demographic data.
Speaker 15: So that's a direct quote from the article and then
Speaker 15: also from some Salesforce research in the article. But the
Speaker 15: really creepy thing again, don't they don't claim this, But
Speaker 15: it would not be at all shocking to me, because,
Speaker 15: as we've discussed so many times, with all of these
Speaker 15: Internet of Things devices and just privacy in general, you know,
Speaker 15: you get an eighty page privacy policy. It's a confused
Speaker 15: opoly full of legal mumbo jumbo that you can't understand
Speaker 15: that no one reads. And they know that, and they
Speaker 15: opt you into all this stuff, and you know, you
Speaker 15: have to go through thirty menu items and deep dark
Speaker 15: patterns to try to figure out how to opt yourself out. Imagine,
Speaker 15: because your TV has a camera on it and a
Speaker 15: microphone in it, if it's not merely taking your data
Speaker 15: and trying this, but it's actually watching you.
Speaker 4: Real time like a telescreen. Yeah, I mean, you know,
Speaker 4: I'm not saying they're doing that.
Speaker 15: I'm saying it's certainly within the realm of possibility at
Speaker 15: this point. And it's one of the reasons people like
Speaker 15: Mark Zuckerberg in the past whether their computer. You've seen
Speaker 15: tape over it or you know former FBI director Comy
Speaker 15: with tape over the camera on his notebook. And you
Speaker 15: know people are, I like, Dave, that's really paranoid. Well,
Speaker 15: you know, like I have a brand new Dell Brian
Speaker 15: and it has a built in camera cover. It just
Speaker 15: slides over and covers up the camera. You're a smart TV,
Speaker 15: do you if it has a camera?
Speaker 4: Do you know where it is?
Speaker 2: That's the thing you probably don't. It's they're almost impossible
Speaker 2: to detect on the new smart TVs.
Speaker 15: So I just you know, I'm not I don't want
Speaker 15: to get delve too deep into the Orwellian rabbit hole here,
Speaker 15: but I do want to point out again this is
Speaker 15: you know, well documented research at this point, and you
Speaker 15: know it's hard to buy a TV that's not so
Speaker 15: called smart. But I just this is very interesting and
Speaker 15: you can see where all this is going. And when
Speaker 15: people say why I have nothing to hide, you know,
Speaker 15: my data is not very valuable. They want your data
Speaker 15: because it is valuable to them, or they wouldn't go
Speaker 15: to the trouble to build all of this technology to
Speaker 15: capture it and analyze you and try to figure out
Speaker 15: how to sell you stuff, persuade you, propagandize you, or
Speaker 15: whatever else they're doing with it. Because I would just
Speaker 15: remind folks, LG may be completely above board with this
Speaker 15: and maybe maybe doing nothing more than trying to get
Speaker 15: you the most targeted possible ads. But are they selling
Speaker 15: that data to someone else? Probably of course, and are
Speaker 15: they doing who knows what with it so, you know,
Speaker 15: propagandizing you for some other purpose. Yeah, So this is
Speaker 15: why I hate the Internet of thanks right, I absolutely
Speaker 15: despise all this garbage. It's total garbage. It is while
Speaker 15: you think it's helping you, it actually these none of
Speaker 15: these organizations have your interest at heart, And they're not
Speaker 15: building this stuff because they care about you.
Speaker 2: They're building it because they can make a buck off
Speaker 2: of it. I'm alway exactly lightning.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: The thing is we need to figure out how to
Speaker 2: buy dumb TVs six forty seven five K see the

Speaker 2: DE talk station. It's Friday wrapping it up with Tech
Speaker 2: Friday's Dave Hatter and best Tech in Cincinnati. There's a
Speaker 2: vote coming up on that. What's this one all about?
Speaker 4: Dave?
Speaker 15: Yeah, Brian I'm I'm really fortunate that Intrust is big
Speaker 15: into supporting the community in general and the tech community
Speaker 15: in particular. So the Circuit is a Cincinnati based organization
Speaker 15: that is basically a member organization for people involved in
Speaker 15: tech or at least you know, on the edges of tech.
Speaker 15: So there's a lot of cool events they do. I'm
Speaker 15: a big fan of the Circuit and Tracy and her.
Speaker 4: Team over there.
Speaker 15: So if you're involved in technology and you don't know
Speaker 15: about Circuit, first off, you should check it out. They've
Speaker 15: got a developer conference called Momentum coming up. You know,
Speaker 15: they do probably one or two events every month. They've
Speaker 15: got things geared towards students, They've got things geared towards
Speaker 15: people trying to get into tech or new in tech.
Speaker 4: They've got leadership programs.
Speaker 15: But the big thing I wanted to talk about on here,
Speaker 15: and I appreciate you guys taking a minute to talk
Speaker 15: about it, is every year they have an event called
Speaker 15: Best a Tech. It's a great event, it's a lot
Speaker 15: of fun. It's since September September eighteenth. It's usually at
Speaker 15: the hard Rock. You'll get you know, four or five
Speaker 15: hundred people probably come out.
Speaker 4: For this thing.
Speaker 15: Always a lot of fun, but the real goal here
Speaker 15: is to nominate and that's why I want to talk
Speaker 15: about it today for folks out there who are listening,
Speaker 15: who might be involved in tech or know someone in tech,
Speaker 15: to nominate people who are doing cool stuff, great stuff,
Speaker 15: because you know, Brian, at the end of the day,
Speaker 15: it's about stopping the brain drain, keeping these jobs in
Speaker 15: the Cincinnati region, creating opportunities for people, workforce development, you know,
Speaker 15: all of that stuff, and this is, you know, one
Speaker 15: small way to recognize the people who are doing cool
Speaker 15: things around technology in Cincinnati. There's a bunch of different
Speaker 15: categories Visionary Leader, Enterprise Award, Women in Minority to Watch Awards,
Speaker 15: Social Impact Award, and Innovation and Small and Medium Business Award.
Speaker 2: Are you campaigning right now, Dave?
Speaker 15: I'm campaigning for my friends at this circuit because I'm
Speaker 15: in I've been involved with them for a long time
Speaker 15: and I just want to get the word out, trying
Speaker 15: to get folks to nominate folks for these awards, make
Speaker 15: people aware of it, grow the tech community, keep these steps.
Speaker 15: Like you know, I'm sure you saw the headline. You
Speaker 15: may have even talked about it earlier. This morning that
Speaker 15: P and G's going to lay off seven thousand people.

Speaker 15: me because they're like, oh, it's tenfolt hat Dave. I
Speaker 15: don't want to hear any more of his rantings about
Speaker 15: how we're all doomed thanks to the Internet of Things.
Speaker 2: I think you and I talked about it, but it
Speaker 2: made my stackers stupid. The woman who found out her
Speaker 2: husband was cheating because of the Internet of Things toothbrush
Speaker 2: he was using at odd hours he was supposed actually
Speaker 2: I don't remember talking about Okay, here's the short story
Speaker 2: on it. He's supposed to be at work and his
Speaker 2: Internet of Things Toothbrush had him brushing his teeth at
Speaker 2: like nine thirty or so in the morning, when he
Speaker 2: was supposed to have already been at work, and he
Speaker 2: was brushing his teeth up before he went over to
Speaker 2: meet his girlfriend to have relations with her, and that's
Speaker 2: how his wife figured out he was having an affair.
Speaker 4: So interesting.
Speaker 15: Well, you know, again, these things seemed to be innocuous, inconvenient,
Speaker 15: and yet that's a wild example and I hadn't heard that,
Speaker 15: but I can't wait to start telling that story.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, and you can probably search for it just Internet
Speaker 2: of Things toothbrush and affair as a search as a
Speaker 2: search on your search engine, which I know is not
Speaker 2: Google for you, but I'm sure you'll run into the
Speaker 2: story anyhow. Yeah, that's just and just you know, stepping
Speaker 2: back Internet of Things toothbrush, WTF period.
Speaker 15: Is it gonna drop a dime on you to your
Speaker 15: dentist that you didn't brush for the required amount of time?

Speaker 2: Todd's Endzer Citizen watch Dog in studio. He is a
Speaker 2: gift to the city of Cincinnati. We'll talk about the
Speaker 2: found missing audit and the Great Cincinnati train robbery that,
Speaker 2: among other shenanigans going on in the city of Cincinnati
Speaker 2: with our dear friend Todd Zenzer. He's in studio. Up
Speaker 2: next a full rundown and the biggest ten lines just
Speaker 2: minutes away.
Speaker 1: At the top of the hour, I'm.
Speaker 2: Giving you a fact now Americans should know fifty five krs.
Speaker 2: The talk station this report is seven oh six I
Speaker 2: think five k c dey talk station. Yay for Friday
Speaker 2: or woohoo for Friday is a case of mavy and
Speaker 2: a great hour of power coming up right now. And
Speaker 2: the citizens of the City of Cincinnati have a really
Speaker 2: I suppose a debt of gratitude to pay to what
Speaker 2: we call citizen watch Dog. Todd's ends Er, host of
Speaker 2: the Citizen Watchdog podcast, which you should listen to. He
Speaker 2: is an inspector, former inspector General for the United States
Speaker 2: of America. And I just got done telling Todd off
Speaker 2: air that we should put him on the job of
Speaker 2: the medicaid problems we have here in the state of Ohio,
Speaker 2: which they're now just getting into. But using artificial intelligence,
Speaker 2: it seems to be pretty easy to ferret out fraud, waste,
Speaker 2: and abuse, much in the same way Elon Musk. Inspite
Speaker 2: of the challenges he's facing right right now with Trump
Speaker 2: and the childish war on social media, Todds ends are
Speaker 2: following the antics of the City of Cincinnati council members
Speaker 2: and the man. Welcome back, Todd Zinzer. It's always a
Speaker 2: pleasure having here. Man. Thank you Brian, it's good to
Speaker 2: be here, and I do appreciate the work you are doing,
Speaker 2: and you know, every I mean every week and every
Speaker 2: time we talk. It's just it's almost just hard to
Speaker 2: believe what's going on behind the scenes, or as the case,
Speaker 2: maybe what's not going on behind the scenes.
Speaker 6: Right, Well, there is a lot going on behind the scenes,
Speaker 6: and I think that's one of the city's biggest problems.
Speaker 6: Is this whole transparency issue.
Speaker 2: Zero transparency.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's really amazing. And if they're not keeping
Speaker 6: things behind the curtain, they're just flooding you with all
Speaker 6: of this information that isn't organized, and you really don't
Speaker 6: understand what it's all about, and you really have to,
Speaker 6: you really have to look into it to find out
Speaker 6: what little nuggets of information is out there about what's
Speaker 6: really going on.
Speaker 2: Well, it takes a tenacious person like you, who unpaid
Speaker 2: as you are, are willing. I guess it's kind of
Speaker 2: a hobby for you. You really like you be in
Speaker 2: the fly and the ointment for those clowns and you
Speaker 2: connect the dots.
Speaker 6: Well, it's what I did for a living for so
Speaker 6: many years, and.
Speaker 2: It's in your blood.
Speaker 6: It is an interesting mine to be sure.
Speaker 2: Well, it's one of the more bizarre hobbies in retirement
Speaker 2: that one can have, but we thank you for doing it.
Speaker 2: So let okay, the topic number one, the missing audit
Speaker 2: has been found. Now you're going to have to provide
Speaker 2: the background for this, because you and I have talked
Speaker 2: about this before, but you know, lay the groundwork for
Speaker 2: what you found and then we can talk about what
Speaker 2: it means, what the audit report that you found and
Speaker 2: the implications for that are.
Speaker 6: Well, several months ago, I started looking into this phenomena
Speaker 6: of a lobbyist lobbying the city. Yeah, so I was
Speaker 6: looking for the lobby the list of lobbyists, which isn't
Speaker 6: easy to find either, but there is a list out there.
Speaker 6: And I started to think about all the corruption cases
Speaker 6: that I'm aware of that involve lobbyist. One goes way
Speaker 6: back to the early two thousands in Washington where the
Speaker 6: Jack Abramov scandal.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, man, you that's a blast from the past.
Speaker 6: Well, I was there when all that was going on,
Speaker 6: and it actually was uncovered by or investigated by the
Speaker 6: Inspector General for the Interior Department, and the Deputy Secretary
Speaker 6: of Interior wound up getting prosecuted. But it was a
Speaker 6: big scandal. It was it was all obvious. And then
Speaker 6: you have what happened here with the council member, And
Speaker 6: I got curious, was there anything that went on with
Speaker 6: all the gang the gang of five? Was there anything
Speaker 6: that went on with lobbyists?
Speaker 2: A gang of five scandal, Jeff Pastor scandal. Yeah, and.
Speaker 6: You know, we had a we had a similar issue
Speaker 6: in Columbus with lobbyists that first Energy that that involved lobbyists.
Speaker 6: So anyway, I didn't really find anythingholder was yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: I didn't find any lobbyist issues with the corruption scandal.
Speaker 6: But along the way, I found this article that Sherry
Speaker 6: Coolidge did about this. The headline read, a Cincinnati audit
Speaker 6: is mysteriously scaled back and then they quote they have
Speaker 6: a quote in here someone is protecting one or more people.
Speaker 6: So after I read the article and found out that
Speaker 6: there was supposed to be some kind.
Speaker 2: Of audit dodss a red flag.
Speaker 6: So I obtained a copy of the audit, went through it,
Speaker 6: and I'll tell you after the three members of council
Speaker 6: and Wendell Young got indicted on these felonies, Mayor Cranley
Speaker 6: and Christopher Smitherman. They went to work, yeah, and they
Speaker 6: took some actions to try to, you know, figure out
Speaker 6: how the city moves forward from here. And one of
Speaker 6: the things they did is they ask the government, the
Speaker 6: city government, to have this audit done of these existing
Speaker 6: of these other economic development projects.
Speaker 2: To hire an outside auditing firm, get the money to
Speaker 2: hire them, and to have them conduct the audit.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 6: And at the same time, they established what they called
Speaker 6: the Economic Development Reform Panel, and that brought in I
Speaker 6: don't know, I think it was like a dozen community leaders, attorneys,
Speaker 6: former judges, people from the Ethics Commission, they were religious leaders,
Speaker 6: there are Democrats, Republicans, to look at what happened and
Speaker 6: to come up with a plan for the city to follow,
Speaker 6: to try to create a more ethical environment for the
Speaker 6: city council.
Speaker 2: So unscrupulous individuals can't basically pay to play or pay
Speaker 2: off or otherwise bribe council members or the mayor in
Speaker 2: order to advance their personal interest project, whatever that project
Speaker 2: may be, which of course is the fundamental basis of
Speaker 2: all these the felony complaints that were vold.
Speaker 6: That's correct. Well, except for Wendell Jung secuted for obstructing
Speaker 6: Justice in the Gang of Five investigation. The other three
Speaker 6: were corruption right.
Speaker 2: Everywhere.
Speaker 6: So I looked at the Economic Development Review Panel. They
Speaker 6: started their work in February of twenty one. They issued
Speaker 6: a report in July of twenty one and had a
Speaker 6: number of recommendations, and one of their recommendations was, yes,
Speaker 6: do this forensic They were calling it a forensic audit
Speaker 6: at the time. Do this forensic audit, promptly, get it published,
Speaker 6: put it out to the public about what needs to
Speaker 6: be done. That was one of their big recommendations.
Speaker 2: Okay, And so the firm audited individual projects that were
Speaker 2: funded by the city or voted on by the city
Speaker 2: or otherwise like maybe tax abatement areas or any any
Speaker 2: kind of economic development project exactly. So they looked at
Speaker 2: the documents related to how that was approved and that
Speaker 2: kind of thing.
Speaker 6: Well, it was interesting because they focused they collected a
Speaker 6: lot of data on how the city count uncil voted
Speaker 6: on the various tax abatements or credits or whatever that
Speaker 6: these two hundred projects received. So they were saying they
Speaker 6: were looking at looking for patterns, voting patterns, to see
Speaker 6: whether they whether those patterns indicated any unusual votes on
Speaker 6: the part of these council members, yes or no, okay.
Speaker 12: And I think the.
Speaker 6: Bottom line is they didn't really find any issues. But
Speaker 6: their recommendations I think really didn't really weren't well received
Speaker 6: by the New City Council.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: So boiled down from what I'm hearing is the audit
Speaker 2: was conducted. They looked at all these projects, and they
Speaker 2: didn't find anything what I will loosely refer to as shenanigans, like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, this voting pattern reveals that someone's getting
Speaker 2: paid something like that. But because of what had happened
Speaker 2: before in connection with these scandals, they created recommendations in
Speaker 2: order to improve the process, maybe bring more clarity to it,
Speaker 2: and perhaps shed a little more sunlight and transparency on
Speaker 2: the project, on the process, And that's the part that
Speaker 2: wasn't well received is your conclusion.
Speaker 6: There were two recommendations in particular that I focused on
Speaker 6: that Crow was the name of the outfit from Chicago.
Speaker 2: Real quickly, when did when was the audit commission? And
Speaker 2: when did it come out? How much time were we
Speaker 2: talking about between today and when this conclusions and these
Speaker 2: recommendations were made to.
Speaker 6: Tell you how slow the process worked. This was initially
Speaker 6: the result of a resolution entered or emotion entered by
Speaker 6: Christopher Smitherman when he was on council towards the end
Speaker 6: of their term. He put this motion out to have
Speaker 6: this done. So that was in twenty one, and they
Speaker 6: signed a that might have been that was in twenty one.
Speaker 6: They signed a contract in January of twenty two, and
Speaker 6: the audit firm issued their draft report in December of
Speaker 6: twenty two. So what should happen after the draft report
Speaker 6: is issued that wasn't done is that the audit the
Speaker 6: person who is getting audited, they're supposed to look. They're
Speaker 6: supposed to look at the draft audit see whether there's
Speaker 6: any factual issues that they have heartburn over. They're supposed
Speaker 6: to respond to the recommendations. Do they agree? Do they
Speaker 6: not agree?
Speaker 2: Sure? You know, it's like reviewing a deposition and say no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: that's wrong. I did not say that it's been improperly transcribed.
Speaker 6: Exactly.
Speaker 2: Your conclusion is wrong for the following reasons. And here's
Speaker 2: all the reasons why. So that's what you do after
Speaker 2: the draft audit is issued.
Speaker 6: And that that is part of the contract with the auditor.
Speaker 2: And so that wasn't done.
Speaker 6: Cincinnati did not do that. The city did not respond
Speaker 6: in any way to the draft report, which means they
Speaker 6: agreed with it. That we can at least make that
Speaker 6: a logical conclusion. If you remain silent in the face
Speaker 6: of the draft audit, then you agree with what's in there.
Speaker 6: Let's pause, because we're going to find out what Todd
Speaker 6: was able to conclude after reviewing the final audit, which
Speaker 6: took him about a gazillion years to finally uncover. Draw
Speaker 6: your own conclusions as to why it wasn't immediately published
Speaker 6: and released to the public first, though, John Ryan press
Speaker 6: Eesion Tiers, you want your KITCHENO model, do you want
Speaker 6: to work with? John Ryan pressed Esion Tiers is his company,
Speaker 6: and he's the man you'd be working with from an
Speaker 6: initial design to final installation. You will find him to
Speaker 6: be a very very pleasant man when it comes to
Speaker 6: kitchen room modeling. Nobody's got more experience than John, more
Speaker 6: than thirty five years of doing almost exclusively kitchens. Yes,
Speaker 6: about a decade ago he did. Ours love it to
Speaker 6: this day. Every time I walk into that kitchen, I
Speaker 6: just remember how it used to be and how much
Speaker 6: improved it is. Better flow, form, design, storage, everything's improved.
Speaker 6: You don't have to go gut in the whole thing
Speaker 6: like he did with us. You can just do Cabins
Speaker 6: encountertops that he's the man to work with your true
Speaker 6: partner in your kitchen remodeling project from initial design to
Speaker 6: final installation, and.
Speaker 2: The only guy you gotta call. You want something done,
Speaker 2: you call John. You want to change something, you call John,

Speaker 2: he's at this all week long. All right, So we
Speaker 2: laid the foundation for this audit. Yes it was a
Speaker 2: post corruption audit. What can we do to write the
Speaker 2: ship to make the process better, to make the process
Speaker 2: less corrupt by way of for whatever projects being proposed,
Speaker 2: whatever tax abatement, whatever building is going to be built,
Speaker 2: whatever Hyde Park development, well connected developer project is going

Speaker 2: for We want to make sure it isn't done or
Speaker 2: have any corruption associated with it. So outside entity from
Speaker 2: Shego has spent a year or so looking at it.
Speaker 2: They're paid one hundred and fifty grand to do the report.
Speaker 2: The issue the primary report, opportunity for the council members
Speaker 2: and the mayor to comment on it, to identify any
Speaker 2: problems with the initial report. Nothing said, not a finger lifted,
Speaker 2: not a word spoken from counsel or the mayor. So
Speaker 2: they did a final report along with recommendations. So that
Speaker 2: leads us up to here.
Speaker 6: It got a little bit worse than that.
Speaker 4: Oh it did.
Speaker 2: Oh I'm shocked. Do tell so.
Speaker 6: Instead of providing comments about the recommendations and the findings
Speaker 6: and correcting any problems with the draft report, Cheryl Long
Speaker 6: rejected the report. She told the city Council and the
Speaker 6: mayor that the report was not satisfactory for what specific reason. Well,
Speaker 6: she didn't say, but she promised to work with the
Speaker 6: auditor to get to do a better job. And yeah,
Speaker 6: that was sent in January of twenty three.
Speaker 2: How would she know whether it's satisfactory or not.
Speaker 6: Well, that's a good question. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 7: I think.
Speaker 2: It's been a whole year looking at each of these
Speaker 2: individual projects and all the documents related to them. Did
Speaker 2: Cheryl do that?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, so thank you.
Speaker 6: Here's here's what I think got to them. When when
Speaker 6: Sherry Coolidge wrote this article with the headline about the
Speaker 6: audit being scaled back, I think they got very defensive
Speaker 6: over that. There was a footnote in the draft report
Speaker 6: that basically said that Crow had been asked by the
Speaker 6: city to change the standards that they're going to use
Speaker 6: when they do their audit. It went from a performance
Speaker 6: audit to an assessment. And it wasn't following gagas or
Speaker 6: they generally accepted government auditing standards. It was going to
Speaker 6: follow the ai CPA, which is the American Institute of
Speaker 6: CPAs who was going to follow their standards, which they're
Speaker 6: basically saying that the city changed the standards that they
Speaker 6: wanted us to use, and looking at this.
Speaker 2: They they made that change after the Crow firm had
Speaker 2: been working on it and up to the point where
Speaker 2: they could release a draft form.
Speaker 6: Right at some point in time, and we don't know when,
Speaker 6: there was a conversation between Crow and the city where
Speaker 6: it says that after discussion with the city, Crow's performance
Speaker 6: under this ordinance is an assessment under a CPA's consulting
Speaker 6: standards and is not a forensic audit. So they changed,
Speaker 6: they changed the rules that they wanted the auditor to
Speaker 6: follow in doing their work.
Speaker 2: Well, wasn't there an RFP at the outset for Crow
Speaker 2: to look into and say, hey, I got my hand up,
Speaker 2: I would I this is what I would charge for it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's where the standards were initially included. Yeah, so they
Speaker 2: did it in accordance with what they were told to
Speaker 2: do with the outset, and then sometime along the process,
Speaker 2: probably most of the way, if not all the way through,
Speaker 2: that's when the city manager says, no, you want to
Speaker 2: do it to a different standard. Yeah, I don't want
Speaker 2: the hell, Todd.
Speaker 6: Well, that's that's what I'm talking about, Brian, because I
Speaker 6: either there was a total disconnect in the city manager's
Speaker 6: office or they didn't like what was in the art
Speaker 6: were worried they didn't like what was in the audit.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Well we still haven't gotten to the conclusions
Speaker 2: in the audit that they have apparently not followed through
Speaker 2: with or followed in spite of the fact that it
Speaker 2: was the purpose of the audit to provide conclusions and
Speaker 2: recommendations to follow. It's seven twenty five. We're gonna finish,
Speaker 2: We'll figure this out. Every time we talk it keeps

Speaker 2: See the dogs station, doctor Fred Pack, doctor Megan Frew.
Speaker 2: They need to be your dentist or you need to
Speaker 2: have them as your dentist. They're the best, absolute best.
Speaker 2: And if you're talking cosmetic dentistry, how could you find
Speaker 2: a better cosmetic dentist than doctor Fred Pack, a fellow
Speaker 2: with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentnistry. He's only one
Speaker 2: of three of those that really reached that lofty position
Speaker 2: in the entire state. I mean, aren't that many in
Speaker 2: the world. He has done a masterful, stunning, life changing
Speaker 2: smile makeover as a king of cosmetic dentistry. And doctor
Speaker 2: Megan Frew on her way to accreditation, so she's got
Speaker 2: her fresh vision and and perspectives with cosmetic dentistry and
Speaker 2: doctor Fred Peck's years and years of experience. But in
Speaker 2: the final analysis, they're both of my general dentists. They
Speaker 2: do great general dentistry as well. I love going in
Speaker 2: to see them. The staff there are so friendly and welcoming.
Speaker 2: It's a comfortable environment, and I always like to point
Speaker 2: out I know a lot of people don't like to
Speaker 2: go to the dentists, but you should. It's important for
Speaker 2: your health. So go then to the clinic there. You'll
Speaker 2: love being there and they'll treat you great. And everything
Speaker 2: I've heard about doctor Meghan Frew is just, oh my god.

Speaker 2: the city. Boy, it's taking us a long time to
Speaker 2: get there, but we've walked through all of the shenanigans
Speaker 2: going on leading up to the final report which was issued.
Speaker 4: Again.
Speaker 2: The report related to a review and analysis forensic of
Speaker 2: the process of getting contracts approved and abatements approved by
Speaker 2: the City of Cincinnatia Cincinnati, of course, on the heels
Speaker 2: of the scandals involving PG Sitting Fell, Jeff Pasture, and others.
Speaker 2: So the firm releases the draft, then the city says, oh, oh, oh,
Speaker 2: by the way, No, no, we don't want it done
Speaker 2: that way. We want it done a completely different way,
Speaker 2: at some point into a what amounted to a year
Speaker 2: long process for the review. So what is the What
Speaker 2: was the final report issued and what standards did it used?
Speaker 2: Did it used the ones that the city manager changed
Speaker 2: last minute or did it stick with it the parameters
Speaker 2: of the original negotiated agreement with the city.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they did put in their final report that they
Speaker 6: followed the government auditing standards for a performance audit.
Speaker 2: So that was what they were supposed to with the outset. Yes, okay, good.
Speaker 6: Before apparently somebody from the city spoke to them, but
Speaker 6: there were several findings. A lot of them had to
Speaker 6: do with recusal by members on certain issues, which is
Speaker 6: still a problem.
Speaker 2: But they like, if you have some personal relationship with
Speaker 2: the developer, like it's your brother in law coming in
Speaker 2: and you're a council member and your brother, your brother
Speaker 2: in law, your family member comes in and says, hey,
Speaker 2: I need you to approve this project I want done.
Speaker 2: Right that that's obviously, on its face, appearance of impropriety,
Speaker 2: I think is what we call it in the law.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 6: So they set out recommendations on how to manage recusals
Speaker 6: by council members, what you know when they should who
Speaker 6: they should recuse themselves to, and et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 6: But there were two recommendations that several of us have
Speaker 6: been interested in for a long time, and one has
Speaker 6: to do with the three reading rules for enacting an ordinance.
Speaker 6: Under the Charter, the city Council is supposed to read
Speaker 6: an ordinance three times before they vote on it.
Speaker 2: And what this city councils three separate council meeting exactly.
Speaker 2: They can't just read it three times in a row
Speaker 2: in one council meeting, right they do that?
Speaker 6: Oh I could see that too. They have to give
Speaker 6: the public time to understand what is happening and provide
Speaker 6: any input.
Speaker 2: So but what input that they will then ignore Hyde Park?
Speaker 6: But what what the city council? This city council does it?
Speaker 6: The previous city councils do it. They either vote to
Speaker 6: waive the three readings or they designate the ordnance and emergency.
Speaker 6: And so one of the findings that a CROW had
Speaker 6: in their final report is they did a sample of
Speaker 6: these votes on these ordinances. And I had estimated on
Speaker 6: one of my podcasts that it was probably up in
Speaker 6: the ninety percentile that they would pass something under an emergency.
Speaker 6: The sample that that CROW took and analyzed, one percent
Speaker 6: of the ordinances that they sampled were passed under an emergency.
Speaker 6: And the problem is that they come up with these
Speaker 6: lame excuses as an emergency. For example, on connected communities
Speaker 6: that was passed under an emergency. You know what their
Speaker 6: reason was, we need more housing. That was the reason
Speaker 6: that Reggie Harris gave to why this thing was passed
Speaker 6: under an emergency. So Crow actually pointed out these they
Speaker 6: had an he had an example or they had an
Speaker 6: example of one of these lame excuses, but they're all
Speaker 6: over the place. So that that was very a very
Speaker 6: good finding, and they had recommendations about how to get
Speaker 6: around that, or not get around it, but to implement that.
Speaker 6: But the second one is one I'm particularly interested in.
Speaker 6: It was when the council was able to provide input
Speaker 6: online budget line items. They need to explain their increases
Speaker 6: or their decreases to budget line items. So the city
Speaker 6: they just went through a three hour hearing budget hearing
Speaker 6: the other night where they had seventy six witnesses come
Speaker 6: forward basically asking for money from the city and they
Speaker 6: represented something like forty different groups.
Speaker 2: Non governmental organization not their hand of the cookie drug. Yes,
Speaker 2: and these are the ones the mayor decides who gets
Speaker 2: the money.
Speaker 6: Well, what they do is they apply for it. The
Speaker 6: city manager comes up with her recommendations on which of
Speaker 6: these applicants should get money and how much. And then
Speaker 6: and that was what was reported the other night. Now
Speaker 6: what happens is it goes through some kind of process
Speaker 6: where the mayor gets to ada and the city council
Speaker 6: gets to add and that process is not transparent whatsoever.
Speaker 6: They have it on their schedule, their budget schedule. But
Speaker 6: in terms of why does the manager go through this rigorous,
Speaker 6: supposedly rigorous merit based process and come up with her
Speaker 6: recommendations and then the city council and the mayor just
Speaker 6: comes in and you know, changes it, it increases it.
Speaker 6: Last year, the city manager's recommendation for what they call
Speaker 6: leverage support was like five million dollars. Well after the
Speaker 6: mayor and the city council got through with it, it
Speaker 6: was up to they increased at one point three million
Speaker 6: dollars just with the stroke of a pen. And so
Speaker 6: anyway Crow with no explanation or one of these lame excuses,
Speaker 6: and Crow pointed this out that this is a problem.
Speaker 6: You need to provide a more transparent process and you know,
Speaker 6: you have to justify these changes to these line items.
Speaker 6: So I think those those were two issues that were
Speaker 6: particularly problematic for the city that they didn't like those.
Speaker 6: The other thing that the final report included they talked
Speaker 6: about a they have a conflict of interest survey. So
Speaker 6: this is something I did not know existed until I
Speaker 6: read the auto report. But apparently when the new council
Speaker 6: members are sworn in, they go through they fill out
Speaker 6: a conflict of interest survey. Sure, and I guess somebody
Speaker 6: in the legal department looks at it and helps them.
Speaker 6: So I asked I put a records request in for them,
Speaker 6: and I did get a clean copy of the form,
Speaker 6: and that has issues. I think, for example, they don't
Speaker 6: even have to sign that. They forget about certifying it.
Speaker 6: They don't even have to sign all their disclosures on
Speaker 6: this survey. But they're denying me access to any of
Speaker 6: the surveys that were completed by any of the council
Speaker 6: members or the mayor.
Speaker 2: I'm not denial predicated.
Speaker 6: On attorney client privilege. If you can believe that, No,
Speaker 6: I cannot believe that. Now, Well, they use that a lot,
Speaker 6: they use that a lot, but.
Speaker 2: It's a conflict of interest piece of paper survey that
Speaker 2: is handed over to the city manager or somebody else
Speaker 2: within the bureaucracy that's not a lawyer. Well, there's no
Speaker 2: connection with with attorney client privilege in that.
Speaker 6: Well, I've always wondered who their client really is. I
Speaker 6: thought their client was.
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly.
Speaker 6: But if I had unlimited resources, I'd probably try to
Speaker 6: look into that. But uh and take them to court.
Speaker 6: But that that's that's their game. They do a lot
Speaker 6: of blocking and tackling when it comes to records requests, don't.
Speaker 2: We have some local attorneys who do that just as
Speaker 2: I mean, who's they do? But they you know, they
Speaker 2: they cost money to I mean, somebody could do some
Speaker 2: pro bono work just to have fun. Somebody wants to
Speaker 2: prod and poke the city of Cincinnati and and and
Speaker 2: and help ferret out fraud, wasted abuse. Maybe maybe so
Speaker 2: that we can refer some of this information over to
Speaker 2: the FBI for them to investigate, because well, you know,
Speaker 2: the less transparent government is, the more likely something going
Speaker 2: on behind the scenes that they don't want acknowledged or revealed,
Speaker 2: the more likely it is that could be criminal.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: What at the national level we have, we have a
Speaker 6: lot of organizations like that. I guess Judicial Watch is
Speaker 6: one of the big ones. Amen, And I think Cincinnati
Speaker 6: could use something like that, or Hamilton County and Cincinnati
Speaker 6: could use something like that.
Speaker 2: See it's a call to arms. Someone's out there that
Speaker 2: can handle that. Don't go away. We got more Todds
Speaker 2: in er, including the great Cincinnati train robbery. If we
Speaker 2: can even get that in. That sounds like a topic
Speaker 2: that could also take up three or four segments at
Speaker 2: seven thirty eight. Right now, I'm recommend plumb Tye Plumbing
Speaker 2: because you deserve better. They know you deserve better. That's
Speaker 2: why they deliver on better, better customer service, better prices,
Speaker 2: no service fees, and free estimates. They enjoying aplus with

Speaker 2: where it's gone belly up, you know, tankless maybe the
Speaker 2: right thing for you to go because they save you money.
Speaker 2: They provide unlimited hot water. You never run out. As
Speaker 2: long as the hot water's on, it's churning it out
Speaker 2: space saber about the size of a suitcase hanging on
Speaker 2: the wall, and can get rid of that giant tank
Speaker 2: and again, unlimited hot water. It's just amazing technology. And
Speaker 2: they last longer than the tanks, so that's one of
Speaker 2: the things they'll do for you. But you know, if
Speaker 2: you need your sewer line replair repair to replace. They

Speaker 2: citizen watchdog, todds Enzer. All right, well, we put to
Speaker 2: bed the issue of the audit that nobody's paying attention to.
Speaker 2: But you got further work to do on that in
Speaker 2: ferreting out the maybe the conflict of interest statements that
Speaker 2: they wouldn't give you for reasons unknown other than the
Speaker 2: attorney clam privilege which doesn't apply. But what about the
Speaker 2: great train robbery I see on my list, the Great
Speaker 2: Cincinnai train robbery. Obviously this relates to the sale of
Speaker 2: the train of the railway system. Yes, so what's the
Speaker 2: story on that if they say it's generating a whole
Speaker 2: a lot more money than the lease paim But we
Speaker 2: got fifty point fifty six million dollars this year.
Speaker 6: Right, so the city is really trying to do a
Speaker 6: jiu jitsu. On one hand, they say we've got all
Speaker 6: this extra money, and then apparently the mayor came out
Speaker 6: I don't know, yesterday or the day before trying to
Speaker 6: lower expectations of what that money can buy because of
Speaker 6: the increased cost of building materials.
Speaker 2: They allocated thirty million dollars for roads out of the
Speaker 2: total pile of money fifty six million, and that only
Speaker 2: paves fifty miles worth of roads and they're already way
Speaker 2: way years behind in resurfacing roads exactly.
Speaker 6: And my point and this issue about the cost of
Speaker 6: the material, Yeah, Adam Kaylor was on that during the campaign,
Speaker 6: and he is correct. The inflation, the inflationary costs of
Speaker 6: the material is going to make build or repairing these
Speaker 6: roads so expensive. And people say, well, that's gonna happen
Speaker 6: whether you use railroad money or not. That's right. But
Speaker 6: what it's gonna do is going to deplete the one
Speaker 6: point six billion and when that's all used up, we
Speaker 6: don't have an asset any longer.
Speaker 2: Well, can they can they dip into principle without approval
Speaker 2: from the the authorities that that's independent board that's supposed
Speaker 2: to ride her to preside over the management of that money.
Speaker 6: No, it's gonna be. It's gonna be. The board has
Speaker 6: strict rules about how much it can give to the city,
Speaker 6: and if the balance of the one point six goes
Speaker 6: below a certain amount, they can't send money to the
Speaker 6: city anymore. They've got to wait for that to build
Speaker 6: back up. Right, So you have all this Rube Goldberg
Speaker 6: type of procedures and you know, controls and things like that,
Speaker 6: and they're gonna they're gonna go through this money like water.
Speaker 6: And you know, people say, well, why are you still
Speaker 6: harping on a railroad because it was not a good deal.
Speaker 6: That wasn't And in terms of the Great Train Robbery,
Speaker 6: the thing that really is a problem is the fact
Speaker 6: that you had this public asset, probably Cincinnati's most valuable,
Speaker 6: with the public asset, and the city leaders, if you
Speaker 6: want to call them leaders, let this railroad come in
Speaker 6: and basically buy the election. They knew when they agreed
Speaker 6: to this that under the current state law ballot issue
Speaker 6: campaigns there is no limit on corporate contributions for ballot
Speaker 6: issue campaigns, and so Norfolk Southern could spend as much
Speaker 6: money as it wanted. And then what it did. It
Speaker 6: spent six million dollars and there was.
Speaker 2: No organized, well funded campaign against the sale of the railroad.
Speaker 6: No, we didn't have any money, you know. We I
Speaker 6: think Adam put money in. I think the total amount
Speaker 6: we calculate it was like eight thousand dollars or something
Speaker 6: like that. But it was also a matter of time.
Speaker 6: They put this thing on a rocket docket, and we
Speaker 6: didn't have a whole lot of time to organize.
Speaker 4: But the.
Speaker 6: Problem is that if this was just a campaign where
Speaker 6: the mayor was running, no problem. But the mayor wasn't running.
Speaker 6: This was for the sale of a public asset, and
Speaker 6: so much greater transparency should be required and it's not.
Speaker 6: But what happened is Norfolk Southern six million went to
Speaker 6: this political action committee, and the political action committee sent
Speaker 6: ninety percent of that to a political consultant in Washington,
Speaker 6: d c. Who has no public disclosure requirement on how
Speaker 6: that money is spent.
Speaker 2: Why do you think it went there?
Speaker 6: And this particular political action or this political consultant is
Speaker 6: the same one that the mayor used when he ran
Speaker 6: for mayor in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 11: And so.
Speaker 6: I sent a letter to the mayor and to the council,
Speaker 6: and I thought the council should take these recommendations from
Speaker 6: these reports, list them out, and do a report on
Speaker 6: what they did with these recommendations. You know, did you
Speaker 6: adopt it? If so, how did you not adopt it.
Speaker 6: If not, why and then for the mayor he did
Speaker 6: these TV commercials for the railway.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Well, we filed a complaint with the Election Commission because
Speaker 6: his campaign treasurer for his personal campaign was the same
Speaker 6: treasurer for the political action committee that Norfolk Southern set up,
Speaker 6: and we thought there should be additional disclosures about the
Speaker 6: decision making on how they were spending money. Well, we
Speaker 6: took that complaint to the election Committee, but we didn't.
Speaker 6: We didn't succeed, but we got an affidavit out of
Speaker 6: the campaign treasurer who said, oh, it wasn't me that
Speaker 6: made all the decisions, It was a steering committee. So
Speaker 6: who's on the steering committee? Who is it that called
Speaker 6: the mayor and said, hey, Mayor, we think it'd be
Speaker 6: a good idea if you went on TV for Who
Speaker 6: was that and who's on this steering committee?
Speaker 2: Those are legitimate questions, and so I put that in
Speaker 2: my letter.
Speaker 6: You ought to tell us who is on the steering committee.
Speaker 6: And secondly, you ought to demand greater accountability from SKDK,
Speaker 6: the political consultant in Washington, about what he's what they
Speaker 6: did with this money? Did they really spend six million
Speaker 6: dollars on that campaign. I mean there was a lot
Speaker 6: of stuff going into the mailboxes and there were some commercials,
Speaker 6: but they really spent six million dollars. That is three
Speaker 6: times what anybody has ever spent on a campaign in Cincinnati.
Speaker 6: I'm told that mister Cranleigh's of the second campaign may
Speaker 6: have cost like two million, but this was six million dollars.
Speaker 6: And there's no way in my view that they could
Speaker 6: have spent six million dollars. So where's that? Where where
Speaker 6: did that money go?
Speaker 2: Well, if aftab's doing commercials to sell the railroad, I
Speaker 2: mean he's got to get paid for his time.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, he got paid, all right, he got one
Speaker 6: point six billion dollars.

Speaker 2: dodd after pretty for it. Here for my friends at

Speaker 2: or a Volkswagen, or you've got a Kia or a
Speaker 2: Honda or a Toyota. Listen, if it's a traditionally imported
Speaker 2: car or a tesla. Is that a bad word these days? Tesla? Anyway,
Speaker 2: they say service teslas. At Foreign Exchange as well, you
Speaker 2: get a full warranty on parts in service. You'll pay
Speaker 2: less money. That's the great thing about Foreign Exchange. You'll
Speaker 2: save a lot of money versus the dealer. When you
Speaker 2: take a car to FOREI in Exchange, and that is
Speaker 2: what I have been doing for years. ASC certified Master
Speaker 2: technicians will be working on your car. You can actually
Speaker 2: talk to the tech if you want. I know some
Speaker 2: you know the dealer still lets you go in and
Speaker 2: talk to the person working on your car. But if
Speaker 2: you if you're inclined to want to do that, you
Speaker 2: can at Foreign Exchange go to the Westchester location. That's

Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 2: This has been a really interesting, enlightening and thought provoking
Speaker 2: hour with Todd's enzers Citizen Watchdog, and make sure you
Speaker 2: pay attention to what Todd's doing. And since we don't
Speaker 2: have a whole lot of time to break down even
Speaker 2: more shenanigans, which I know you know more about. There's
Speaker 2: a lot more going on in the City of Sincinnati
Speaker 2: behind the scenes than we know about. But since I
Speaker 2: have a few minutes or a couple minutes, you have
Speaker 2: the podcast Citizen Watchdog, and you're always doing what you
Speaker 2: talked about, you've done today in connection with the audit.
Speaker 2: You are apparently going to have your own web page
Speaker 2: now to put all this information up in an easily usable,
Speaker 2: findable format, since the City of Cincinnati, if it is
Speaker 2: up there somewhere in their online materials, quite often difficult
Speaker 2: to ferret out.
Speaker 6: Yes, And so I just think that people are like me,
Speaker 6: and they want to see the they want to see
Speaker 6: the evidence, they want to see the documents, and you
Speaker 6: really can't do that unless you have some kind of
Speaker 6: repository online like that.
Speaker 2: So well as someone who's looking at it from your standpoint,
Speaker 2: I mean, your goal is transparency. That's hence you know
Speaker 2: the watchdog, because clearly our elected officials, council members and
Speaker 2: mayor like and the city manager are not at all
Speaker 2: interested in being transparent about what's going on.
Speaker 6: I do agree with you on that. They they this
Speaker 6: idea of oversight and transparency. They talk good game, but
Speaker 6: they've got a lot of challenges there, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: You're so delicate with your language. There's such challenge. They
Speaker 2: have challenges. A fundamental problem with being honest, I think
Speaker 2: is I'm gonna at least that's conclusion you draw. That's
Speaker 2: what I'm so angry about it. And I've been on
Speaker 2: a rail rant quite over a lot of lack of
Speaker 2: transparency issues of late. You know, like, for example, real
Speaker 2: quick here that whole idea, Elon Musk comes out, Well,
Speaker 2: Trump's in the Epstein files, and so all these politicians
Speaker 2: are coming out, well if he was in there, if
Speaker 2: he was in there, then why wouldn't have Biden released it?
Speaker 2: And so wait a second, that statement if he was
Speaker 2: in there indicates that our representatives don't even know what's
Speaker 2: in there. Why don't we know this's been going on?
Speaker 2: For years, Todd. You know, it's that kind of thing
Speaker 2: that just really really irks me. Why don't they allow
Speaker 2: us to have the information. It's only a handful of
Speaker 2: people in the entire city that will be interested in
Speaker 2: looking at it. We're one of them. But even if
Speaker 2: one person wants to look at it, they work for us.
Speaker 2: The information is not confidential, and so if you ask
Speaker 2: for it, they should hand it over and they should
Speaker 2: provide an explanation. For example, in the conclusion of that
Speaker 2: report you talked about, which makes recommendations on honest, decent,
Speaker 2: going forward conduct, transparent conduct, they should at least answer
Speaker 2: the question why they aren't following what they were told
Speaker 2: to do when they hired this outside auditing firm. Ye, silence,
Speaker 2: deafening silence.
Speaker 6: I agree with you one percent.
Speaker 2: Well, Tom, we'll have you on again. You keep up
Speaker 2: the great work. I thank you for what you're doing
Speaker 2: and allowing me to just scream about it and let
Speaker 2: my listeners know as well. We need more people like
Speaker 2: you out there and more interested parties holding them accountable.
Speaker 2: They work for us. Coming up in seven fifty six,

Speaker 2: that come in and there's how many of them are
Speaker 2: there in the city, like forty or something crazy like that.
Speaker 2: Forty there's four big ones. But that's a great thing.
Speaker 2: We all work together and we scored each other and
Speaker 2: it's yeah, yeah, that's It's like, you guys, aren't you know?
Speaker 2: It isn't like that scene from Anchorman where you're meeting
Speaker 2: an alley and like having a gang fight. You know,
Speaker 2: but uh, you all play well together. I guess you'll
Speaker 2: have a parade. I guess usually there is one in Octoberfest.
Speaker 9: We do for the firstest being two day fest.
Speaker 4: We did I do it.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's all right. But normally you see all the
Speaker 2: different societies with their banners and flags and what the
Speaker 2: Usually these things are kind of based upon what region
Speaker 2: the Germans emigrated from you know, like the Black Forest
Speaker 2: region or whatever. The where's the origin of the Donna
Speaker 2: Schwaben group.
Speaker 9: Yes, the Despobin group, it came from The people came
Speaker 9: from the Swabian region of Germany and they and they
Speaker 9: went down the Danube River, so that's you get the
Speaker 9: dough no now and the and the in the Schwaben
Speaker 9: and they went down to lower eastern Europe like Hungary,
Speaker 9: Yugoslavia area, and they cultivate that land into the bread
Speaker 9: basket of Europe. And they kept but they kept even
Speaker 9: though they're out of Germany, they kept their German heritage
Speaker 9: or speaking, their their culture and traditions. And then, uh,
Speaker 9: you know, after after the war, they immigrated to the
Speaker 9: US because German speaking people weren't so welcomed in those areas,
Speaker 9: so they came here. And it's not just in Cincinnati,
Speaker 9: it's all over the US and internationally, I think they's
Speaker 9: some in Brazil and another place to where where the
Speaker 9: Denniswamp people had had gone to. Okay, but it's a
Speaker 9: fun party, and they keep their traditions and share them
Speaker 9: with the city and oh it's a fun party.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me talk about that in just a minute
Speaker 2: here because I am enjoying the Well, it's the the
Speaker 2: one I look forward every year for is the Schwaben sausage, right,
Speaker 2: but you brought in a new one this year. The
Speaker 2: meter meter wors metavers and this thing what is? It's
Speaker 2: a foot long, right, at least eighteen inches half a

Speaker 2: so there's no shuttle service from remote location like that, right.
Speaker 16: Which is our Octoberfest. We do have bus service for
Speaker 16: this one, so it's a little bit smaller than Octoberfest,
Speaker 16: so we can keep everybody on site.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 2: That just means more for our food and drink for
Speaker 2: us that show up, got it? Uh, Who's who's performing?
Speaker 2: I mean, you've got multiple entertainment acts that are going
Speaker 2: to be showing up tonight and we'll get to tomorrow
Speaker 2: in a moment here, But who's who's going to be playing?
Speaker 16: The ploma band starts at five point thirty tonight or
Speaker 16: from Saint Louis, and then we uh they also played
Speaker 16: Saturday starting at one to kickoff Saturday, and then we
Speaker 16: have our house band, alpin Echoes, which ends the night
Speaker 16: at six thirty and that's tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Yes, Well what about what about young getting Drupa?
Speaker 1: Yep, so the yougen grouping is the.
Speaker 16: Youth group and they're.
Speaker 2: That's the name. Yes, I remember enough German to know
Speaker 2: that young means suggest young youth, youthful, that kind of thing.
Speaker 16: So those that's one of our four dance groups and
Speaker 16: one of our five dance groups. Sorry, and they are
Speaker 16: ages fifteen to twenty one.
Speaker 9: Well, the klinic Kinder they started at four years old,
Speaker 9: clinic Kinder, Klinic Kinder.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they started four small children and they got the
Speaker 2: middle group of.
Speaker 9: Then the Yugen group, then the shop Potler's, then the
Speaker 9: Talkton group, and they go up to I think eighty four.
Speaker 9: So it's you know, as Auntie said the other day,
Speaker 9: you know, you can you can see its need to
Speaker 9: haveing these five different dance groups. You know where they
Speaker 9: learn and each one has their own different type of
Speaker 9: cultural dance that's brought over from from Europe. Uh, but
Speaker 9: you know where they where they learn it to where
Speaker 9: they perfect it.
Speaker 2: And it's well, I think it's a cool thing that
Speaker 2: that young people are still learning this. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: the world's a never changing place and you think, you know,
Speaker 2: it's like does anybody really still do that? And yeah,
Speaker 2: the answer is yes. And these German societies, everybody learns
Speaker 2: how to dance. My wife, not German, has her her
Speaker 2: drendal and she ends up always there's usually an elderly
Speaker 2: German Man who always ends up dancing with my wife.
Speaker 2: And every one of these things. My wife, you know,
Speaker 2: she's an attractive lady and so you know, she loves
Speaker 2: the dance and I don't dance, so I'm usually having
Speaker 2: to keep my eye on her because there's some guy
Speaker 2: out there dancing with my wife. Jane, you didn't marry out,
Speaker 2: I did. I told you that in the hallway. That's
Speaker 2: why I tell people now I no longer care if
Speaker 2: they want to fire me, because I'm eating in the
Speaker 2: studio knock themselves out. And one of the reasons I
Speaker 2: can say that is because I can retire right now.
Speaker 2: I'm married. I'm married, out of my element. Anyhow, she's
Speaker 2: listening right now.
Speaker 9: Well, nice things about the youth group, Like we're teaching
Speaker 9: the kids, you know, how to dance, and we're teaching
Speaker 9: about culture. But you know, part of the fest is
Speaker 9: it is a fundraiser and we send our kids over
Speaker 9: to Germany and Austria every couple of years so they
Speaker 9: can learn and see firsthand. So they go to the
Speaker 9: Dennis swamping clubs over there, they can go around and
Speaker 9: actually see, you know, where the people came from and
Speaker 9: what the cultures are over there.
Speaker 2: Do you have a corresponding uh donnas Trabert group over
Speaker 2: there that you keep, you communicate with it, coordinates activities
Speaker 2: when you get there. Oh, that's cool.
Speaker 9: Like the International I guess headquarters whatever they call it,
Speaker 9: is over there. So yeah, they have a museum and everything.
Speaker 9: So the kids go over there oftentimes I think they
Speaker 9: stay in other people's houses. And the reason is really
Speaker 9: you really get to feel it that way instead of
Speaker 9: being in a hotel, like you're really in touch with
Speaker 9: the communities.
Speaker 4: And the people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's a great idea. I never been to Germany.
Speaker 1: I'd like to go.
Speaker 2: I've got friends together all the time, all.
Speaker 6: Right, So.
Speaker 2: You got the plumb man, you got you only group
Speaker 2: and the shoel plotter school plotter.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 9: Shoe fallers are the one wearing the later hose and
Speaker 9: jumping around stopping their knees. And uh, I can see
Speaker 9: in Europe Trevia Clark Goswald.
Speaker 2: And that's why we're actually were And yeah, well I
Speaker 2: was gonna ask you later about because I went to
Speaker 2: one of the festivals and I'm blessed the shuts in
Speaker 2: fest folks gave me a pair of leader hosing, nice people.
Speaker 2: They are the cops weekend. Yeah, And so I wore
Speaker 2: my leader hose into a different German event and I
Speaker 2: was told that I didn't have the appropriate attire for
Speaker 2: that particular German club. And I don't know which one
Speaker 2: it was, but there were I think mostly walking around
Speaker 2: with the three quarter length uh as opposed to the
Speaker 2: just sort of pant like shorts that I have. So
Speaker 2: there is regional clothing too.
Speaker 4: So what.
Speaker 2: Do my leader hosing fit in with with with with
Speaker 2: the dons rob yeah, okay.
Speaker 9: Absolutely, these are I think called boondjosen and and typically
Speaker 9: those are four you know, it's a little bit colder
Speaker 9: out because they're they're longer. But shopepoler are the same way.
Speaker 9: You know, it's not always as super Boler's. They might
Speaker 9: look the same, but every dance and move is also
Speaker 9: very regional, so some shupe bolers really stick to one
Speaker 9: town's kind of moves, if you will, Okay, ours is
Speaker 9: kind of like the Greatest Hits collection.
Speaker 2: Just don't slap the person you dance with in the face.
Speaker 4: Land up.
Speaker 9: So we do have a dance called the the shoe Fall, right,
Speaker 9: so you know your plotler and you put your hands
Speaker 9: out and the girl tied your hands on the first
Speaker 9: hand and on a second time of ground, the girl
Speaker 9: will slap you in the face. Years ago, my wife
Speaker 9: used to shoot faller and man when I was paired
Speaker 9: up with her, she got me.
Speaker 2: You know, there's so many opportunities for blue humor in
Speaker 2: that statement. I'm just gonna let that rest. And right there,
Speaker 2: as we go into a break, we'll bring it back
Speaker 2: a little about the Saturday activities and all the other
Speaker 2: fun We're going to have a Donna Schwabin Schwabbinfest beginning
Speaker 2: tonight at five point thirty. Well, for a moment and
Speaker 2: mentioned chimney care, fireplace and stuff. You got to take
Speaker 2: care of your chimney, you know, do you know what's
Speaker 2: going on up there? If it wood burning fireplace, it
Speaker 2: could be filled with koreasod and your fire. You actually
Speaker 2: could have had a chimney fire and not even know
Speaker 2: about it. The problem is that will crack your whining
Speaker 2: and then if you have another one, it'll burn your
Speaker 2: house to the ground. At least that's as it has
Speaker 2: been explained to me in the past. Maybe you could
Speaker 2: burn your house down even with the first chimney fire.
Speaker 2: The point is you don't want one, which is why
Speaker 2: you take Chimneycare Fireplace to Stove up on its Spring
Speaker 2: special which is a woodburning sweep and evaluation, which is
Speaker 2: only one hundred and sixty nine ninety nine. They inspected
Speaker 2: with a video camera certified chimney Sweep WI sweep it.
Speaker 2: They'll make sure everything is safe. That way, you don't
Speaker 2: have to worry about a chimney fire. You ready to
Speaker 2: hit the ground, runn when the temperatures drop back down
Speaker 2: and they will just got to wait for it. Or
Speaker 2: if you don't have a wood burner, the exterior evaluation
Speaker 2: which the Chimneycare Fireplace and Stove will do for free.
Speaker 2: You just need a schedule appointment. They'll come out to
Speaker 2: your place, make sure you don't have any water damage
Speaker 2: problems going on up there, and if you do, you
Speaker 2: may not know about that either and that could lead
Speaker 2: to a huge problem and a massive expense for you.
Speaker 2: You want to avoid that and it's a free inspection
Speaker 2: for that one and they'll do that of course when
Speaker 2: they do the woodburning sweep and evaluation. So Chimneycareco dot

Speaker 2: guys make that yourselves, most.
Speaker 9: Of it, you know, we make it. We do make
Speaker 9: it ourselves. But rut a point now where it's in

Speaker 9: for your kid and a food all same time, it's
Speaker 9: all there in.
Speaker 2: The same booth. Well, that's a nice and its convenient feature.
Speaker 2: I see you also have the Limburger sandwich. Always I
Speaker 2: find memories. I mean, I'm not a Limburger fan. I'll
Speaker 2: be honest with you.
Speaker 13: I know.
Speaker 2: There is my dad and my grandfather, my mom's dad,
Speaker 2: and he had a very small, small house generally speaking
Speaker 2: of Lexon, Kentucky, where where they live for years and
Speaker 2: years and years anyway, maybe a twelve or fourteen basement
Speaker 2: TV room, a little couch in there. My grandfather would
Speaker 2: sit down there, and there were times that he used
Speaker 2: to have a pipe or he'd have a smoke or whatever,
Speaker 2: watch a football game. But my dad would get down
Speaker 2: there and he and my grandfather would eat Limburger sandwiches,
Speaker 2: rye bread, big flat, big hunk of Limburger cheese, mustard,
Speaker 2: and onions. And I'm telling you, that small room would
Speaker 2: just just fill up with the stench of Limburger cheese.
Speaker 2: He could walk in there. It's like, God, oh, we
Speaker 2: love it, we love it. I'm like, I think it
Speaker 2: was more of a it's it's like eating a ghost
Speaker 2: pepper too. Oh I was able to eat that, you know, yeah, right,
Speaker 2: But you didn't really like it, did you? A badge
Speaker 2: of honor? You just it's a badge of honor. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I choked down a Limburger cheese sandwich in spite of
Speaker 2: how about it smells. And there's people out there right
Speaker 2: now going, oh, come on, Limburger tastes great, tastes great,
Speaker 2: just stinks. But they've got it there, so you can
Speaker 2: do that. But I'm bump bump bump beers. You guys
Speaker 2: have beer there, don't you. Well look at the list
Speaker 2: A couple of beers.
Speaker 16: Yes, we literally have every available German Austrian beer in
Speaker 16: the city of Cincinnati. Wow, this is this is anything
Speaker 16: that's available in keg form.
Speaker 4: We have it.
Speaker 2: That's a bold statement considering now do you include like
Speaker 2: micro brewis in that?
Speaker 1: Because no, nope.
Speaker 16: Only it's only imported German beers, all right, so that
Speaker 16: they're not with chipping and everything. We're not getting as
Speaker 16: many as we used to get a couple of years ago.
Speaker 16: But now it's this is This is the list of
Speaker 16: what's available in the city of Cincinnati currently about.
Speaker 9: That mostly you're not going to find them at a
Speaker 9: store or even at a bar. They're they're really kind
Speaker 9: of hard to.
Speaker 2: Get, which is unless you're buying a hole a keg.
Speaker 9: Or or a palette of kegs. Sometimes it won't sell
Speaker 9: to you unless you're buying a palette. But you know,
Speaker 9: I think it's fun for the you know, our guests.

Speaker 9: try something different. We got the whole range of light,
Speaker 9: dark wheat. We you know, we even have some rodlers,
Speaker 9: a grapefruit roller, you like those kind of things.
Speaker 2: But that's an interesting beverage, it is. And I just
Speaker 2: find it so hard to believe that that grapefruit beverage
Speaker 2: is German.
Speaker 9: Well, it's because Germans don't know how to make light beer.
Speaker 9: You know, they make full strength beer, then they'll cut
Speaker 9: it down with lemonade or grapefruit juice.
Speaker 2: That's good. Had a grapefruit land in Germany. It's not
Speaker 2: exactly a tropical climate anywhere.
Speaker 9: Well, ler is German for a like a bicycler and
Speaker 9: that's you know, so like if you're riding your bike
Speaker 9: and you're exercising and you know you want a beer,
Speaker 9: but maybe you know, and more refreshing, you know, after
Speaker 9: an exercise, they put a little great projuice in there
Speaker 9: and lemonade.
Speaker 11: There you go.
Speaker 16: The traditional one is Logger beer, half logger beer, half
Speaker 16: tart lemonade, and it's just something very freshing you can
Speaker 16: drink after a good days of work.

Speaker 2: Gamble announce some plans cut seven thousand jobs over the
Speaker 2: next couple of years, fifteen percent of its non manufacturing workforce.
Speaker 2: Uh As Dan Monk from WCPO describes, the company navigates
Speaker 2: the challenges posed by tariffs and slower growth. Company hadn't
Speaker 2: said how many the layoffs are going to occur here
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati, of course, where you employ ten thousand people.
Speaker 2: Here in the Greater Cincinnati area. So, according to the
Speaker 2: chief financial officer, Andre shootin' sounds awfully German. Just the
Speaker 2: opportunity to accelerate that innovation pipeline, make the right investments,
Speaker 2: and capture that growth opportunity, I think created that urgency
Speaker 2: in the organizations to say now's the time, insofar as
Speaker 2: the time to cut Joe, have you seen all of
Speaker 2: the articles describing the whaling and gnashing of teeth and
Speaker 2: pity and concern about expressed by the general public because
Speaker 2: seven thousand employees at PG are losing their jobs everywhere?
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 2: Oh no, that was right. That was just the government
Speaker 2: employees losing their jobs even though they weren't showing up
Speaker 2: to work to do something productive like make money for
Speaker 2: a company. Sorry, I had to vent my spleen on that.
Speaker 2: Let's see here, state senator who introduced the bill, a
Speaker 2: new funding source for the sports stadiums here in the
Speaker 2: state of Ohio. Speaking of Ohio budgets, not shocking anybody, said,
Speaker 2: half a dozen teams have already expressed interest in a
Speaker 2: one point one billion dollar grant pool that'll be available
Speaker 2: after July if it ultimately becomes part of Ohio's next
Speaker 2: two year budget. Senator Jerry Semina said teams should keep
Speaker 2: in mind that lawmakers won't be interested in projects that
Speaker 2: aren't ready for primetime. His words Sereno comments came a
Speaker 2: couple of days after he introduced a proposal to fund
Speaker 2: stadium projects with one point seven billion dollars in unclaimed
Speaker 2: funds from the state of Ohio. That is, money from
Speaker 2: abandoned bank accounts, uncash checks, rent utility deposits whose rightful
Speaker 2: owner cannot be located. So it is one of the
Speaker 2: processes where we learn they're sitting on a big pile
Speaker 2: of money. And notice, much to my chagrin, that that
Speaker 2: money is available only to teams, sports stadiums, fully baked,
Speaker 2: ready for prime time sports related complexes. Now, if you're
Speaker 2: a business out there, don't bother trying to stand in line.
Speaker 2: You're you're not you're not entitled any of the taxpayer
Speaker 2: money in this particular case, money that could go to
Speaker 2: the American or the Ohio tax payer maybe and maybe
Speaker 2: in the form of a property tax relief.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be cool?
Speaker 2: Hey, here is one point seven billion dollars we're gonna
Speaker 2: distribute equally among the property taxpayers here in the state
Speaker 2: of Ohio. Now, I don't know how much that would
Speaker 2: mean per home or building that pays taxes, but you
Speaker 2: know what, I think that will be money much better
Speaker 2: spent than on a sports stadium. And it's not that
Speaker 2: I have anything against sports. Don you know the argument
Speaker 2: I have? I have hell, I would be upset if
Speaker 2: they were handing money out to any business for no
Speaker 2: reason whatsoever. Oh, but we're gonna make a whole lot
Speaker 2: of money off of the sports team. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: you're gonna make a whole lot of money off of
Speaker 2: a company like Procter and Gamble.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: They employed ten thousand people in the city of Cincinnati,
Speaker 2: all of whom are taxpayers. I don't know that they've
Speaker 2: got an infusion of hundreds of millions of dollars from
Speaker 2: the Ohio tax payer. They don't need it because they're
Speaker 2: out making something and selling it. If I eight thirty five,
Speaker 2: maybe you feel differently. I have not heard a single
Speaker 2: person disagree with me on the propriety of giving money
Speaker 2: for these sports complexes. And if you have a basis
Speaker 2: to say it's a good idea, call me up and
Speaker 2: let me know why. A thirty five right now? If
Speaker 2: you I have KCD talk station, be back after these
Speaker 2: brief words. Fifty five KRC man gentlemen says, we've got

Speaker 2: I don't know what's in them, but if Trump was
Speaker 2: in them, then why wouldn't Joe Biden let the world
Speaker 2: know that Donald Trump was involved with the pedophile And
Speaker 2: my retort was, it's certainly possible. The reason he didn't
Speaker 2: is because the Epstein files implicate a whole lot of Democrats,
Speaker 2: and if you're going to use it against Trump, you
Speaker 2: know it's coming right back at you to haunt you.
Speaker 2: I personally don't believe Trump anything do with it, given
Speaker 2: his behavior and in fact that he was asked and
Speaker 2: involved in the Epstein investigation and actually said, no problem,
Speaker 2: I'll be happy to sit down and talk with you
Speaker 2: whenever you want. I had nothing really to hide, and
Speaker 2: I know he alienate him alienated himself from Epstein and
Speaker 2: has abandoned from his golf course or something along those
Speaker 2: lines when Epstein was still with us. But you know,
Speaker 2: why would Musk make a stupid comment like that, This
Speaker 2: is just childish? Childish, childish. But going back to the
Speaker 2: fundamental point, Representatives and members of Congress don't know what
Speaker 2: is in the Epstein file or files they whatever you
Speaker 2: want to characterize them. At the documents that were gathered
Speaker 2: in connection with all the raids that were done in
Speaker 2: Epstein's properties in the Pedophile Island and all that, by
Speaker 2: all accounts, there are records, There are videotapes and speculation
Speaker 2: on people that have been implicated and suggest that you
Speaker 2: have been child molesters like Epstein. Why don't we know?
Speaker 2: Why have those records been held withheld? You think there'd
Speaker 2: be some whistleblower. How they released everything under the sun
Speaker 2: about Donald Trump Aclodie's private tax information. No one seemed
Speaker 2: to have a problem with that other than the fact
Speaker 2: that it was well not legal to do it. But
Speaker 2: the guy's dead and you can redact victim information. You know,
Speaker 2: I personally like to know who these perverts are out
Speaker 2: in the world. I'd like to be able to stay
Speaker 2: away from them. I like to be able to see
Speaker 2: them brought to criminal justice. But the longer you wait,
Speaker 2: Let's say one of them was involved in statutory rape,
Speaker 2: some noted notables, some lofty high official, maybe one of
Speaker 2: our elected officials in Washington, TC. Perhaps a lot of
Speaker 2: people hung out with Epstein, a lot of powerful people,
Speaker 2: Bill Gates. Maybe somewhere out there. There's probably a statute
Speaker 2: of limitations.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: But why don't we know? Why is there just this
Speaker 2: swirling speculation, and why is it which feeds the rumors,
Speaker 2: accusations and innuendo and conspiracy theories. There doesn't have to
Speaker 2: be any of that transparency. Thank you Todd Zenzer for
Speaker 2: spending an hour in the program talking about how City
Speaker 2: of Cincinnati he's pretty much involved in the same kind
Speaker 2: of thing, not along the pedophile lines, but hovering up
Speaker 2: information and hiding information that the taxpayers should have access to.
Speaker 2: If they're hiding it, I think it's it's reasonable for
Speaker 2: us to assume that something bad has happened behind the scenes,
Speaker 2: something that they don't want us to know about is
Speaker 2: going on behind the scenes, could be criminal behavior. It
Speaker 2: could be well, maybe bribery. Perhaps we saw that with
Speaker 2: some of the council members on the City of Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: But it's you know, they work for us. It's troubling
Speaker 2: to me. But you know, you got to ask the
Speaker 2: question waybit, why are you Why aren't you giving it
Speaker 2: to us. Let's see what Steve've got to say this morning. Steve,
Speaker 2: thanks for calling here, and a happy Friday to you.
Speaker 12: Oh you don't like Friday, but happy Friday anyway. I'm
Speaker 12: going to try to put a smile on your face.
Speaker 12: Had a long week. The politics are beaten down hard
Speaker 12: on you. Wednesday morning when you came on the air,
Speaker 12: you were really down less so yesterday, and it might
Speaker 12: because the weekend's approaching. But I mean, the news is
Speaker 12: sometimes tough to deal with. May I come out of
Speaker 12: left field and put a smile on your face?
Speaker 2: Well, why don't you come out of right field?
Speaker 12: Okay, Well I'll come out of right field. Yeah, I
Speaker 12: guess they always say left field. I don't know why,
Speaker 12: but yeah, we'll come out of the stands and we'll
Speaker 12: put a smile on your face. Has nothing to do
Speaker 12: with anything you've talked about. We'd go back about four
Speaker 12: or five weeks and you had a lady on there
Speaker 12: that was like an expert on the Beatles. Now, I
Speaker 12: am a Beatles fanatic and I'm sixty three years old,
Speaker 12: and I know you're not. I don't think you dislike them,
Speaker 12: but they just don't. They're not your preferred band. One
Speaker 12: thing I always say, if they're not your favorite musical artists,
Speaker 12: they might be your favorite musical artist's favorite musical artist,
Speaker 12: I mean, very.
Speaker 2: Big, one of the most influential bands out there. Yes,
Speaker 2: all the time.
Speaker 12: Well you know, well, here's what's going to hopefully put
Speaker 12: a smile on your face just the next time you
Speaker 12: hear this song. And it's one of their more famous ones.
Speaker 12: And again I thought I knew everything about them. I've
Speaker 12: read every book. It's like I've heard this story a
Speaker 12: thousand times. Nothing i'm hearing that's new is new. And
Speaker 12: it was the song Norwegian Wood and I and you know,
Speaker 12: the song That's a bit good Norwegian would. Do you
Speaker 12: know what the original title of that was going to be?
Speaker 12: I never did. It was actually knowing knowing she would would,
Speaker 12: isn't it good? Knowing she would? And it was nineteen
Speaker 12: sixty five, and there was pressure not to put out
Speaker 12: a song called that isn't that kind of cute? So
Speaker 12: the next time you listen to that, just think of
Speaker 12: what the original title was going to be, how they
Speaker 12: changed it around. It'll put a smile on your face.
Speaker 12: It has nothing to do with anything, but it's just
Speaker 12: you know with I mean, I could have called you
Speaker 12: up and gone on about the level of.
Speaker 2: Trump and Steve, I appreciate it. I absolutely appreciate it.
Speaker 12: Think about it next time you hear it. Just just
Speaker 12: get a little smile like in.
Speaker 2: A gotta Davida in the garden. Yeah, Yeah, appreciated Steve,
Speaker 2: YouTube man forty six. If you have cares of the
Speaker 2: talk stag and see you don't have to have a
Speaker 2: political topic to talk about. Most notably on a Friday,
Speaker 2: Lumba used to call it open mic Friday. Got a
Speaker 2: couple of minutes of the remaining in the morning show,
Speaker 2: and we come back. I hope you can stick around

Speaker 8: fifty five KRC the talk station.
Speaker 2: Eight fifty one fifty five r CD talk station. Another
Speaker 2: thing that put a smile on my face hearing this
Speaker 2: song Joey No just to Lilie Armstrong, but I have
Speaker 2: a huge preference for Joe Ramon's version of that. Let's
Speaker 2: see what they're go to the phones oh, real quick here, Julie,
Speaker 2: hang on one second. Since I was talking about the
Speaker 2: Trump thing and this alleged Epstein, you know he's in
Speaker 2: the Epstein files. Maureen has stumbled upon a potential explanation
Speaker 2: for all this back and forth, calling it a staged
Speaker 2: fake wrestling match. Elon Musk puts the rumor out there
Speaker 2: that Trump is in the file somewhere and get the
Speaker 2: left to demand the release of the files. She says,
Speaker 2: the left are so stupid they will fall into the trap. Well,
Speaker 2: members of the left who aren't involved with Jeff Epstein
Speaker 2: may fall into that trap. But the quiet ones, those
Speaker 2: are the ones you're gonna want to be suspicious of, Maureene, Julie,
Speaker 2: welcome to the Morning Show. Thanks for calling it. Happy
Speaker 2: Friday to you.
Speaker 12: Happy Friday.
Speaker 18: I cannot believe you just played that song because I've
Speaker 18: made a comment on your show before that I love
Speaker 18: that song, and I know people are always like, yeah,
Speaker 18: I know it kind of sucks sometimes in the world,
Speaker 18: but I love when you play it. So that was
Speaker 18: a perfect segue right into my.
Speaker 11: Call say thank you.
Speaker 2: Oh you're welcome, but every Friday, I know you do.
Speaker 7: I love it.
Speaker 2: I know Iry Joe chimed in, and my head said, Julie,
Speaker 2: I have to interject because Joe played the song. He's like,
Speaker 2: he was like, yeah, I'm glad you played it. Thomas. Okay,
Speaker 2: Joe hit but thank you Joe. Go aheadlie.
Speaker 18: Well, interestingly, I know you said. Maureen just made that comment.
Speaker 18: So I was freaking out of course last night about
Speaker 18: all this, and I was serious in hearing what you know,
Speaker 18: Elon had tweeted, and of course obviously, you know, very
Speaker 18: concerned that it's true. But I'm sitting here. My husband's
Speaker 18: trying to bring me back to earth because I'm losing
Speaker 18: my mind. And he said, you know, here's the deal.
Speaker 18: The Democrats have been sitting on this information for how long?
Speaker 18: Wouldn't they have released this before the election.
Speaker 2: They didn't want Trump to.
Speaker 18: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So there's one Republican, one Republican after another, interviewed by
Speaker 2: the various news outlets, all saying that same chorus. Wait
Speaker 2: a second, you don't think Biden would have put this
Speaker 2: out at any given time to tarnish Donald Trump's reputation.
Speaker 2: Release the documents, you know, even if it's a leak
Speaker 2: document that isn't lawful for whatever reason, and I can't
Speaker 2: come up with one, Julie, But yeah, I think that
Speaker 2: is a true statement. Why wouldn't they have done it unless,
Speaker 2: of course there's nothing or there's more Democrats implicated in
Speaker 2: the release and that they know that that their day
Speaker 2: is going to come if Donald Trump's records are in
Speaker 2: a release and it has some connection with Elon Musk.
Speaker 2: There's a whole lot of other people that have involved
Speaker 2: with with I'm sorry, jeff Jeffrey Epstein. There's a whole
Speaker 2: lot of other people that hung out with Jeffrey Epstein
Speaker 2: who would also find themselves in the crosshairs.
Speaker 18: Absolutely, absolutely, so I think that's to come, and I
Speaker 18: hope that they can delve into that and get that
Speaker 18: released in the public. So so many people aren't you know,
Speaker 18: I've tried to jump to conclusions quickly. I just panic
Speaker 18: because I'm you know, always worried about what's going on.
Speaker 18: But I really pray to God that they do uh,
Speaker 18: you know, drift. It seems pretty extreme. It did happen quickly,
Speaker 18: But I do agree, you know, with with Elon. I'm
Speaker 18: we're all I think so many of us are a
Speaker 18: little bit disgusted with the bill because or a lot discussed,
Speaker 18: because obviously we need more cuts. But I'm not sure
Speaker 18: how much Trump can crashure with the rest of them.
Speaker 18: But that's got to be done. I don't know if
Speaker 18: that can be done in an addendum or something coming on.
Speaker 2: But well, but we need and this is this is
Speaker 2: Massey's problem, and it was, it's it's uh Ram Paul's problem.
Speaker 2: It's other centatives issue. Listen, we can cut now. The
Speaker 2: promise that you're going to cut in the future is
Speaker 2: a hollow one. There is no guarantee just because you
Speaker 2: say we'll wait for it, we'll do it down the road.
Speaker 2: We got to get this passed and ensrying these tax
Speaker 2: cuts permanently. Yeah, that's a good argument to try to
Speaker 2: do it. But hey, the cuts are paltry. We blow
Speaker 2: through an extra two trillion dollars a year. This thing
Speaker 2: cuts one point two trillion over ten years. Sorry, that's
Speaker 2: not enough. Julie, God bless you. Thank you so much
Speaker 2: for the club. Have a wonderful weekend. Eight fifty five
Speaker 2: afty five kre City Talk Station Tech Friday with Dave
Speaker 2: Hatter the Orwell Report. I just creeped out that TV
Speaker 2: is analyzing your emotions now at least some smart TV.
Speaker 2: That's one of three different things we talked about Todd
Speaker 2: Zenser in studio. The missing audit has been found, and
Speaker 2: there's nothing but craziness swirling around that city of Cincinnati
Speaker 2: is well in the same way the Musk files have
Speaker 2: been held from the public's view. So much information is
Speaker 2: not revealed by the elected officials as the council members
Speaker 2: and the mayor and the city of Cincinnati. Thank god
