Speaker 1: Happy Friday s.
Speaker 2: A ication.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 1: It is confirmation from Joe Strecker, if a good producer
Speaker 1: with the woo Who SoundBite, that it is in fact Friday.
Speaker 1: Didn't he tell you that, didn't need the woo Who
Speaker 1: to confirm it. Happy Friday to you, Tech Friday with
Speaker 1: day've had or every Friday six thirty today Consistent with history,
Speaker 1: TikTok mutes descent in China, Get off TikTok data breaches
Speaker 1: at twenty three and meters. Pokemon and Cisco Pokemon is
Speaker 1: still a thing. Oh really, Joe, Okay, that was a
Speaker 1: definitive Oh yeah, I didn't realize that. I thought that
Speaker 1: kind of went the way of the Dodo. I remember
Speaker 1: my son was about five or six years old. He
Speaker 1: tried to collect Pokemon cards, and we did everything in
Speaker 1: our power to dissuade him from the stupidity of collecting
Speaker 1: pieces of paper printed in random numbers to inflate or
Speaker 1: deflate the value, as the case may be. Never understood
Speaker 1: that beanie babies is another thing I never ever quite understood. Whatever,
Speaker 1: once you decide you're going to collect something, you have
Speaker 1: a built in market established for the manufacturer of those
Speaker 1: pointless items. John Pearson, gop Hamilinkuinty Commissioner candidate, is going
Speaker 1: to be in studio in seven oh five. We're going
Speaker 1: to hear what John Pearson's running on. Uh Stacy Lufton
Speaker 1: for Judge Stacey Lufton eighth five Why should we vote
Speaker 1: for Stacy Lufton? Also a request to donate out at
Speaker 1: eight oh five and follow by closing out the show
Speaker 1: with Brian Rensinger with the book Land Rich, Cash Poor,
Speaker 1: My Family's Hope and the Untold History of the Disappearing
Speaker 1: American Farmer. So there you have it, getting married to
Speaker 1: a dairy farmer's daughter, as well as having a lot
Speaker 1: of farmers in my well ancestral background, going back to
Speaker 1: my great grandfather and some of my relatives that lived
Speaker 1: in the southern Kentucky northern Tennessee regions. Dirt farmers, I guess,
Speaker 1: but lots and lots of experience sort of just from
Speaker 1: a distance with farming. It is a hard life, Lord Almighty.
Speaker 1: My wife's father never, I don't think he already ever
Speaker 1: left the farm. You got dairy cows and you're well,
Speaker 1: a small farmer like that. You gotta milk them twice
Speaker 1: a day or they don't produce the money that are
Speaker 1: the revenue that well keeps your food on your table.
Speaker 1: So you milk them in the morning, you milk them
Speaker 1: in the evening, and you do that every single day.
Speaker 1: Failure to milk a cow results in them no longer
Speaker 1: producing milk. What amazingly difficult and challenging life. That is.
Speaker 1: My stories I could tell by just what eye witnessed.
Speaker 1: But you know, my wife, it's an amazing thing. You know,
Speaker 1: she kind of draw parallels with Jade Vance growing up
Speaker 1: in You know, she had a stable home, good mom,
Speaker 1: good dad, brothers and a brother and sisters. But they
Speaker 1: didn't have anything, you know, you didn't have two pennies
Speaker 1: to rub together. But living on a farm was a
Speaker 1: stable life. Nothing changed year to year. And the greatest
Speaker 1: illustration of that was, you know, during the seventies we
Speaker 1: were going through stagflation. The economy was terrible, joblessness was
Speaker 1: all the rage, and prices were going through the roof
Speaker 1: of everything. They didn't notice it, you know why, cause
Speaker 1: things weren't great beforehand, and things didn't change after that
Speaker 1: settled down and Reagan became president. So status quo on
Speaker 1: the farm. But what a wonderful life it is. She
Speaker 1: wouldn't have changed anything, and of course it made very
Speaker 1: strong people being a farmer, character building young children. I
Speaker 1: just don't see anything. Do you have any young people
Speaker 1: that would take on that kind of job? It would
Speaker 1: commit themselves of that kind of life. Anyway, we'll hear
Speaker 1: from about it from Brian rensig here at eight thirty
Speaker 1: starry going down that road. Oh and if you're not
Speaker 1: friends with me on Facebook and you know about my
Speaker 1: cancer situation, I finally got the appointment with my doctor
Speaker 1: yesterday and got the results of my biopsy and my
Speaker 1: treatment options status quo. So if you, by way of background,
Speaker 1: got low spectrum lymphoma and it's still low spectrum in lymphoma,
Speaker 1: it's just come back. So basically, I'm rewinding the clock
Speaker 1: to twenty eighteen when this the whole thing started. The
Speaker 1: protocol I went through back then got me about three
Speaker 1: and a half years of remission. So that's an option
Speaker 1: that's seeing protocol. There are a couple of other options
Speaker 1: I can pursue, but no worries on my end, I'm
Speaker 1: not concerned. I figure, hey, if I disrepeat the process,
Speaker 1: I'll be back at this in about four years, assuming
Speaker 1: the same trajectory. It goes away and it comes back,
Speaker 1: And that's kind of the information that gave me at
Speaker 1: the outset, Brian. This treatment, you know, will provide you
Speaker 1: with some relief. We'll get it remission, but it'll probably
Speaker 1: come back. Also giving me great comfort from the outset.
Speaker 1: They told me, Brian, you're going to die with this,
Speaker 1: not from it. So please, I cannot thank everybody enough
Speaker 1: for the prayers, the kind words, the support. It's just
Speaker 1: it was just a beautiful thing and I just cannot
Speaker 1: comment enough about how uplifting it is. You know, if
Speaker 1: you're struggling for me, it was more of a psychological struggle. Again,
Speaker 1: I didn't think I was going to get you know, Brian,
Speaker 1: you only have three months to live. But how important
Speaker 1: it is and how nice it is when someone extends
Speaker 1: to you just the courtesy of saying, hey, I got
Speaker 1: your back, man. If anything you need, you just can
Speaker 1: call me. You can count on me. By the way,
Speaker 1: I'm praying for you, I'm keeping you in my thoughts
Speaker 1: and prayers. You know how uplifting that is. Let's kind
Speaker 1: of think you through a day. So thank you to
Speaker 1: everyone who expressed those concerns. Now, I will ask you
Speaker 1: from the bottom of my heart, in terms of prioritization.
Speaker 1: We've all got priorities, we all got lists, and there's
Speaker 1: only so many people you can include in your prayers,
Speaker 1: and well, I thoroughly appreciate them, and I would not
Speaker 1: reject any further prayers, prayer for support, or any other
Speaker 1: words of encouragement. Please consider those who have it so
Speaker 1: much worse than the I posted on Facebook yesterday, like
Speaker 1: the cure starts now. Pediatric brain cancer. That's something that
Speaker 1: needs prayer, That's something that needs words of encouragement. That's
Speaker 1: something that while people struggling and going through that need
Speaker 1: words of support and encouragement. That is a grave diagnosis.
Speaker 1: So thanks again, and let us emphasize I think we
Speaker 1: can all agree one thing for sure in this divided
Speaker 1: country we find ourselves. Cancer sucks.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: It's funny because they had that someone had made a
Speaker 1: sign wood burning, you know art. You get the wood
Speaker 1: burning tool and you burn into wood right there and
Speaker 1: the doctor's off yesterday. It's a big sign cancer sucks.
Speaker 1: That give me a chuckle. And back over to things
Speaker 1: political here in Ohio and It was great having the
Speaker 1: Kentucky folks on yesterday Kentucky of Blue Bluegrass Institute for
Speaker 1: Public Policy talking about Issues one and two in Kentucky.
Speaker 1: And I'm behind both of those. I think they sound
Speaker 1: like excellent ideas and simple to understand. Issue one here
Speaker 1: in Ohio isn't simple to understand. It's convoluted, it's crazy,
Speaker 1: and it's nefarious. Oh, we're going to take jerry mandering
Speaker 1: away from the politicians. Well, you know, the Wall Street
Speaker 1: Journal got a wind of this and issuing a concern
Speaker 1: a warning to you folks out in Ohio considering voting
Speaker 1: for Issue one, Uh, don't do it. Look behind the
Speaker 1: veneer of this. It's all up and up. It's going
Speaker 1: to be evenly divided. Look at the veneer and peel
Speaker 1: it away and realize this is an effort to undermine
Speaker 1: the Republican advantage in the state of Ohio. I had
Speaker 1: the guy on that was pro issue too, and he said, well,
Speaker 1: it's worked in other states. It's worked in another states.
Speaker 1: And you stop and you say, well, what does work
Speaker 1: mean for you? If it results in Democrats taking over
Speaker 1: in otherwise republican areas, I would say that doesn't work.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what the Journal's pointing out. They point out
Speaker 1: to the state constitutional amendment to stablished this redistricting committee
Speaker 1: fifteen members that would take control of the redistricting maps,
Speaker 1: five Republicans, five Democrats, and five independents. And as I
Speaker 1: always do, pause and even consider what that means, because
Speaker 1: within each party there's like nine miles of separation from
Speaker 1: one side to the other. Proponents argue that this is
Speaker 1: a bipartisan system, it'll end jerrymandering. But the giveaway, as
Speaker 1: the Journal recognizes, of the real purpose is the ballot
Speaker 1: measure is funded by a partisan culch array of unions
Speaker 1: and major national progressive nonprofits, the goal to enshrine progressive
Speaker 1: jerrymandering in Ohio's constitution. They note the Ohio Redistrict Redistricting
Speaker 1: Committee already bipartisan two Republicans, two Democrats, the governor, Secretary
Speaker 1: of State, and state auditor. They suggest that the so
Speaker 1: called independent members, if this new commission is established, because
Speaker 1: people foolishly vote yes on one, that these so called
Speaker 1: independent members are likely to lean left. And that's here,
Speaker 1: here's what works for the guy who's pro issued won
Speaker 1: here quote, that's what happened in Michigan after voters in
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen approved a similar measure. Over the next few years,
Speaker 1: the commission redrew the electoral maps. In twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: the state Senate at twenty two Republicans sixteen Democrats, the
Speaker 1: state House fifty eight Republicans fifty two Democrats. In twenty two,
Speaker 1: with the redrawn maps by this so called independent commission,
Speaker 1: Democrats won both legislative chambers Michigan, Ohio or Michigan GOP
Speaker 1: they say is a mass but then against those Ohios.
Speaker 1: But the new maps are much more favorable to the Democrats.
Speaker 1: Note they observe that the lefts drive for so called
Speaker 1: independent commissions to draw the maps tends to be focused
Speaker 1: on states where Democrats don't control the state legislature. Targeted
Speaker 1: states from this outside money. Get to that in a
Speaker 1: minute include Arizona, Michigan, Ohio, Utah or the data from
Speaker 1: ballot Pedia. If the belief in the nonpartisanship of citizen
Speaker 1: commissions were the real drivers, where are the ballot measures
Speaker 1: for such commissions and heavily jerrymandered Illinois and Oregon? I know,
Speaker 1: chuckle over that one. They're not there. It's just like
Speaker 1: early voting was that New York had only voting on
Speaker 1: election day, and the left never said that was racist.
Speaker 1: They never said it was the disenfranchising minorities. They never
Speaker 1: tried to extend it there. They focused on states where
Speaker 1: well they were losing and they needed to flip the
Speaker 1: politics over to the left. How do they do that
Speaker 1: by cheating? Ballot measure also includes a command for proportionality,
Speaker 1: a key progressive goal. The tech states that the statewide
Speaker 1: proportion of districts that favors each political party shall correspond
Speaker 1: closely to the statewide partisan preferences of the voters of
Speaker 1: Ohio got into the chase, this would override the normal
Speaker 1: redistricting command for compactness. Progressive voter for urban areas could
Speaker 1: be distributed to so called balance outlying districts to elect
Speaker 1: more Democrats. That happened when Michigan's commission redrew majority minority
Speaker 1: districts to elect more Democrats in twenty twenty three. A
Speaker 1: federal district court threw them out as a racial gerrymander
Speaker 1: and they had to be redrawn. Now Here we are
Speaker 1: to the donors. The largest donor to both the Michigan
Speaker 1: and the Ohio districting ballot measure is the sixteen thirty
Speaker 1: fund five oh one C four, part of the Progressive
Speaker 1: Arabella Advisors Network. We've learned about that group over the time.
Speaker 1: Over time. Anyway, that group fund of the Michigan ballot
Speaker 1: measure and is the largest single donor to the one
Speaker 1: in Ohio, and they observe the journal. The ballot measures
Speaker 1: often have looser rules for political donations from foreign nationals
Speaker 1: than those that apply to candidates. One of sixteen thirty's
Speaker 1: largest donor, and this came up just yesterday, Swiss billionaire
Speaker 1: hands George wis known for donating lavishly to progressive causes
Speaker 1: here in the United States from Switzerland. Why does a
Speaker 1: Swiss billionaire care about US politics? Good question. Maybe he's
Speaker 1: a globalist. Shocking no one. Last or this year, the
Speaker 1: legislature here banned foreign nationals from contributing to Ohio ballot campaigns.
Speaker 1: Get a load of this. On the day Governor Mike
Speaker 1: Dwine announced the special session to ban foreign donations, sixteen
Speaker 1: thirty dropped six million dollars into this ballot campaign. The
Speaker 1: ban ultimately blocked by federal judge with the Sixth Circuit
Speaker 1: let it take effect, but you note they saw it coming,
Speaker 1: they hurried up and got the foreign money donated to
Speaker 1: this cause. Host congressional deligration currently eleven Republicans, six Democrats,
Speaker 1: reflecting the state's elector. It's turn in the state too
Speaker 1: war favorable to Republican But at least lawmakers on the
Speaker 1: current redistricting Commission are accountable to you, the voter. The
Speaker 1: new commission will inevitably become a captive of progressive interest groups,
Speaker 1: and we hope voters don't fall for the rose. Thank you,
Speaker 1: journal I agree with you. I hope so as well.
Speaker 1: Great thing about politicians is you can kick them out
Speaker 1: of office, you can hold them accountable. That we choose
Speaker 1: not to from time to time is not the fault
Speaker 1: of the system. It's our fault. Five eighteen fifty five
Speaker 1: KRC Detalk station plenty more coming up. I'd welcome phone
Speaker 1: calls five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty two to three talk oh count
Speaker 1: five fifty on eighteen T funds. A whole lot more
Speaker 1: coming up. I'll be right back after these free forts.
Speaker 1: Time for the nine first warning weather forecast.
Speaker 5: Today.
Speaker 1: We've got a sunny Danner hands high at sixty seven
Speaker 1: clear skys overnight traveling it's forty two tomorrow for you
Speaker 1: see homecoming sunny and pleasant with the highest seventy two
Speaker 1: overnight clear forty four and on Sunday sunny skies with
Speaker 1: the highest seventy three thirty nine degrees. Right now, I
Speaker 1: think about cars. The talks too.
Speaker 5: I'm Kamawa Harris and I approved this message.
Speaker 6: Cheap your stupid mouth shut.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jay Rattler summing it up five twenty two
Speaker 1: bios kr C the talk station.
Speaker 5: Funny Way, maybe like a I'll tell you you sny till.
Speaker 1: You know it's interesting. Though you didn't get any chance
Speaker 1: to listen to Judgjentena Paulton. I'm talking about the government's
Speaker 1: free speech, which they don't have predictor on them, trying
Speaker 1: to suppress your political speech through well all kinds of avenues.
Speaker 1: The most recent illustration of this. You know, we have
Speaker 1: a politicized Internal Revenue Service, we have politicized Justice Department.
Speaker 1: You know, we can go on and on and on.
Speaker 1: Maybe one of the reasons people are rejecting Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: because they see the overreach of government and the oppressive
Speaker 1: reality of government. Elon Musk felt it the other day.
Speaker 1: He's now filed a lawsuit against the California State agency
Speaker 1: for political discrimination. He's entitled to his own political ideology.
Speaker 1: He's entitled his own philosophy just because he likes Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: It's pissed a lot of people off, if I may
Speaker 1: be so blunt. California Coastal Commission rejected their plans SpaceX
Speaker 1: plans Elon Musk to increase the number of rocket launches
Speaker 1: from his own private property, the Space for Base in
Speaker 1: Santa Barbara County, so he lawyered up and in the lawsuits,
Speaker 1: Bacex claims that this committee made its decision purely due
Speaker 1: to political differences that well they have with Elon Musk
Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with the review process what
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be taking into account. They claim in
Speaker 1: the lawsuit, this committee, the California Coastal Commission, and it's
Speaker 1: twelve members engaged in naked political discrimination during the debate
Speaker 1: over the proposal by the Department of the Defense. Department
Speaker 1: of Defense to expand the number of SpaceX launches at
Speaker 1: the Space Force Base would have seen the number go
Speaker 1: from thirty six to fifty. Court of lawsuit rarely has
Speaker 1: a government agency made so clear that it was exceeding
Speaker 1: its authorized mandate to punish a company for their political views.
Speaker 1: Commissioners on this committe appointed by the governor of the legislature.
Speaker 1: What's the makeup of California by the way, Oh that's right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's all Democrats. They voted six to four on Thursday
Speaker 1: to reject the DoD plan Department of Defense plan, but
Speaker 1: the debate over whether or not to focused on Elon Musk,
Speaker 1: supported Donald Trump. One commissioner Elon Musk is hoping hopping
Speaker 1: about the country, spewing and tweeting political falsehoods and attacking
Speaker 1: FEMA while claiming his desire to help the hurricane victims
Speaker 1: with free starlink access to the Internet. What in God's
Speaker 1: name does that have to do with whether or not
Speaker 1: we're going to allow the number of launches to increase.
Speaker 1: Because Elon Musk is hopping around the country, in their words,
Speaker 1: tweeting political falses. There you go with that, you know, misinformation,
Speaker 1: disinformation narrative that they stick to everything uttered by someone
Speaker 1: who doesn't share their viewpoint. Chairwoman on that said Tuesday,
Speaker 1: many things are said in the course of meetings, whether
Speaker 1: it's a Coastal Commission meeting, whether it's a legislative meeting,
Speaker 1: whether it's a planning department. The basis of this decision
Speaker 1: is the commission's conclusion that SpaceX, as a private company
Speaker 1: engaged in private activities, needs to apply for a coastal
Speaker 1: development permit. No, they blame that politics. So he's got
Speaker 1: a lawsuit. But then again, this is exactly the type
Speaker 1: of thing Judgejennen A. Poulo Atana was talking about. You know,
Speaker 1: this is a free country with free speech rights. We
Speaker 1: have people of all political persuasions, from the far left
Speaker 1: Marxist all the way over to the most well i
Speaker 1: want to say conservative, all of the most radical right
Speaker 1: wing individual you could think up sovereign citizens. Everyone's entitled
Speaker 1: their own opinion. Are they entitled also then to equal
Speaker 1: treatment under the law. The answer to that is supposed
Speaker 1: to be yes. You shouldn't be rejected from a permit
Speaker 1: merely because you don't share these woke leftist political viewpoints.
Speaker 1: Five twenty six fifty five KR see the talk station.

Speaker 1: local stories here to dive on into. Hey love new
Speaker 1: charging stations coming to the region thanks to your labor
Speaker 1: translated into tax dollars and then sent back to the
Speaker 1: area eleven point one million in federal funding for I
Speaker 1: get the local stories that I got Bill on the phone, Bill,
Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning. And Happy Friday to you, sir.
Speaker 7: Hey, Happy Friday to you too, Brian, and I hope
Speaker 7: everything goes good on your medical case.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I'm optimistic, man, I really am. So
Speaker 1: we're I feel like, I'm oh.
Speaker 4: Well, we're all praying for you.
Speaker 7: But the point I'm getting to now, this is hypocritical, man.
Speaker 7: This is what these people do. They do it every
Speaker 7: election year. The undecided. Now come on, now, wait a
Speaker 7: bet it the people that I've seen a survey on
Speaker 7: here when I'm posted, people said the under sided never
Speaker 7: vote anyway and here here. Here's the other thing is
Speaker 7: if you can't understand you were better all four years
Speaker 7: ago than you are now and you're still not decided,
Speaker 7: are you serious?
Speaker 5: I mean, come on.
Speaker 1: Well, it could be I hear you the idea that
Speaker 1: you could be undecided given the obvious differences between Trump
Speaker 1: and Kamala Harris. It's it's absolutely backcrap and saying to
Speaker 1: believe that's even possible. But there are people out there
Speaker 1: that pay zero attention to politics, absolutely zero attention. And
Speaker 1: I've got some friends that are like that, I mean
Speaker 1: dear friends of mine. You ask them anything about politics,
Speaker 1: like you know, who's the secretary of State or uh,
Speaker 1: you know, and who's had no idea, absolutely no idea.
Speaker 1: And I had people that vote I remember, I had
Speaker 1: people that that admitted to me back when Barack Obama's
Speaker 1: first running for president that they voted for him simply
Speaker 1: and exclusive, not based on policies. What he was playing
Speaker 1: and his ideas is nebulous and broad basis they were,
Speaker 1: but only because he was black. That was the only
Speaker 1: reason I asked him why it's like, well, you know,
Speaker 1: it just shows that we're not a racist country if
Speaker 1: we have a black president. It's like, well, you know,
Speaker 1: that may be one advantage. We'll find out and we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens. So that was the only thing they
Speaker 1: didn't know anything really about policy. No, you know, it
Speaker 1: didn't end the idea that we're a racist nation, though
Speaker 1: in fact, it stirred the pot and made us. Since then,
Speaker 1: it's like, we've even become more racist, Like how I mean,
Speaker 1: didn't we demonstrate to the world we elected a black
Speaker 1: man as president clearly the vast majority of the majority
Speaker 1: of Americans anyway, don't feel that way. If you're racist,
Speaker 1: you're not going to vote for a person of color.
Speaker 1: That's kind of the definition of racism, is it you
Speaker 1: hate someone simply based on the color of their skin.
Speaker 1: So anyhow, Yeah, there are people out there that pay
Speaker 1: no attention. But it baffles me equally that you really
Speaker 1: could say, with a stray face and you're undecided, I
Speaker 1: would press those cool. Why you know, Well, because I
Speaker 1: don't pay attention, I think is probably in the final analysis,
Speaker 1: the only answer you can come up with. Have a
Speaker 1: great one, man, appreciate the kind words. Yeah, we're getting
Speaker 1: forty three charging stations for electric vehicles Okai. The Ohio
Speaker 1: Kentucky Regional Council of Governments on Wednesday set awards from
Speaker 1: its carbon reduction program that would be the infrastructure law
Speaker 1: pass in twenty twenty one. That multi billion dollar Boon
Speaker 1: Doggle sixteen recipient's going to be sharing the funds to
Speaker 1: build the forty three stations. Four communities they say one
Speaker 1: million dollars each. Three plan to build four stations each.
Speaker 1: Hamilton one point six million, Middletown one point five, Anderson
Speaker 1: Township one point two. And something I found out today
Speaker 1: since they acquire Patrician Newberry reporting Miami University is going
Speaker 1: to get one million dollars for a charging station at
Speaker 1: its airport. Miami University has an airport, Yeah, they do.
Speaker 1: I'm just pulling up on the map. I've been up
Speaker 1: there a bunch of times. Had no idea. It's kind
Speaker 1: of outside of the center of town though, But I
Speaker 1: don't have an electric vehicle, so I'm not worried about
Speaker 1: logistics on that anyway. With this year's awards, Okai has
Speaker 1: awarded sixteen point eight million dollars in federal money for
Speaker 1: ev charging station. It gave six applicants two and a
Speaker 1: half million in twenty twenty three. Eight others earlier this
Speaker 1: year got three point two million. So coming to a
Speaker 1: neighborhood near you the charging station okay blinks this weekend,
Speaker 1: you need to worry about the road closures Downsound A
Speaker 1: downtown festival is going to make navigating parts of the
Speaker 1: region a bit difficult. So you want to attend the festivals,
Speaker 1: you have to get the information list of roadways that
Speaker 1: will be closed. While thousands of people are looking at
Speaker 1: these exhibits spread throughout Sinceinni in northern Kentucky, the roadway
Speaker 1: list is long important to remember that driving into the
Speaker 1: city isn't the only available option for those want to participate. Metro,
Speaker 1: tank and Butler County Regional Transit Authority are all offering
Speaker 1: free public transportation and blank this year. See I emphasize
Speaker 1: that word free taxpayer dollars paying for it. Metro and
Speaker 1: tank I have fair rides starting at six pm each
Speaker 1: night of BLINK, while the Butler County Transit Authority offers
Speaker 1: shuttles from further north. All three public transportation options have
Speaker 1: multiple park and ride options. Drop offs at riverfront Transit
Speaker 1: Center downtown that runs between five thirty pm and eleven
Speaker 1: pm each night. I can't go through the whole list.
Speaker 1: It's just really, really, really long. So it's important if
Speaker 1: you're planning on attending blank and you're one to take
Speaker 1: your car with you, plan way ahead. I hope that
Speaker 1: event is as successful as the one I attended. It
Speaker 1: was a really beautiful, beautiful thing to behold. Five thirty
Speaker 1: six stack is stupid coming up in a moment. I'll
Speaker 1: be right backstick right here at fifty five k CD
Speaker 1: talk station.
Speaker 5: In today's Marketers Report, Kate Cronin.
Speaker 1: Yes, I think we've established the answer to that question

Speaker 5: Nor.
Speaker 1: I think this is getting worse, Joe we I don't
Speaker 1: know how it could, but what is with teachers messing
Speaker 1: around with children? I don't understand this anyway. In a
Speaker 1: world filled with social media and video, it's going to
Speaker 1: come out. I keep saying it every damn time in
Speaker 1: yet here we have yet another one. Ah let us
Speaker 1: see Franklin County substitute teacher facing child sex crime charges
Speaker 1: after almost a year long investigation. Seventy four year old
Speaker 1: Donald Roberts What surrendered to the front Saklin County Sheriff's
Speaker 1: Office Wednesday booked on two counts of school employee having

Speaker 1: Gor to the Red Bay Police Chief Jenna Jackson, not
Speaker 1: Janet Jenna, school resource officer on November twenty eight, twenty three,
Speaker 1: told about an incident at Red Bay School involving a
Speaker 1: substitute teacher and underage students. Department of Human Resources investigated.
Speaker 1: Jackson said the Lawrence County District Attorney's Office is handling
Speaker 1: the prosecution because the Franklin County DA recused himself from
Speaker 1: the case. Not no reason stated further accusal. Former security
Speaker 1: guard at East Point High School arigned on charges of
Speaker 1: having sex with a female student at the school. Prosecutor
Speaker 1: said Darien Craig Lamar Webster, twenty six, Detroit. Arraigned Thursday
Speaker 1: last and oh yesterday, I believe in the thirty eighth
Speaker 1: District court two counts a third degree criminal sexual occult
Speaker 1: Conductor Judge Kathleen Galen at the bond at one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars. Prosecutors claimed the alleged sexual content
Speaker 1: encounter took place Tuesday somewhere in the high school court
Speaker 1: to the prosecutor, Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido, this is
Speaker 1: a serious breach of trust and responsibility when someone in
Speaker 1: a position of authority abuses that trust, that harms not
Speaker 1: only the victim, but the entire community. Sure School officials
Speaker 1: said Webster was an employee by a third party security
Speaker 1: company not directly employed by the district. His contract was terminated.
Speaker 1: Spokesperson for the district said officials at the high school
Speaker 1: were notified by students and staff about the inappropriate consensual
Speaker 1: relationship involving the female who's in the twelfth grade. Probably
Speaker 1: reported the concerns of the school. Upon learning the situation,
Speaker 1: Administration with the district immediately initiated investigation, notified law enforcement,
Speaker 1: contact with the student's family, work with security company to
Speaker 1: terminate the contract. You fight there, you are. That's funny, sad,
Speaker 1: twisted and funny. But I know when I was in
Speaker 1: high school, one of the seniors was having a relationship
Speaker 1: with one of the teachers. I know a girl that
Speaker 1: was in my class who was having a relationship with
Speaker 1: one of the teachers who's widely known. So, you know,
Speaker 1: this stuff only now gets reported. I guess it's been
Speaker 1: happening since the dawn of mankind. But you know, you
Speaker 1: send your kids into a school and you'd like to
Speaker 1: think that those people have some measure of decency and respect.
Speaker 1: But now you got to talk to your children about
Speaker 1: this is really I think what this comes down to.
Speaker 1: And we got a family of a fourteen year old
Speaker 1: student claiming in a lawsuit that a California school teacher
Speaker 1: named Michelle Christine Sawas who's forty six, groomed and sexually
Speaker 1: assaulted their son on his graduation day at Sycamore Middle School.
Speaker 1: What they allege you left the boy traumatized. One of
Speaker 1: the Sacramento being new allegations in the lawsuits, they saw
Speaker 1: us often organized meetups with the student. She also gave
Speaker 1: him a pass for recess and spent a lone time
Speaker 1: with him by saying she was helping him with homework.
Speaker 1: On his eighth grade graduation day, she took the boy
Speaker 1: into a classroom, locked the door, and coursed him into
Speaker 1: sacks the corner of the but Keunty District Attorney's office. The
Speaker 1: student then sent him The student then sent him photos
Speaker 1: of their encounter and asked the boy to delete their chats.
Speaker 1: Rumors and copies of one of the new photographs began
Speaker 1: to circulate in the Gridley community. In October of last year,
Speaker 1: police investigation and soon investigators contacted the boy and retrieved
Speaker 1: the contents of his phone. District Attorney's office said they
Speaker 1: found communication between Solace and the boy, including two explicit
Speaker 1: photos of her that matched the description the boy previously provided.
Speaker 1: Whilst claims the school failed to properly monitor the teacher's behavior,
Speaker 1: nor do they train the other teachers to properly detect
Speaker 1: grooming behavior. Suit seeking general damages and non economic relief
Speaker 1: for physical, mental, and emotional injuries. At turning for the
Speaker 1: boy told load go outlive. The sexual abuse had traumatized
Speaker 1: the boy and had a lasting effect. He's back in
Speaker 1: the classroom where he had no control of the situation
Speaker 1: and felt helpless. Saulus been a teacher for twenty years.
Speaker 1: Sentence to four years in prison back in July twenty four,
Speaker 1: serving your sentence of the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla.
Speaker 5: Hope it was worth it. Twisted pervert.

Speaker 8: Hatter coming up at the next hour six thirty.
Speaker 1: Feel free to call otherwise. Back to the stack of
Speaker 1: stupid This one looks more familiar in terms of a
Speaker 1: Friday stack of stupid. Good in New Orleans, where there's
Speaker 1: concern in the seventh word community after a woman was
Speaker 1: caught multiple times exposing herself in the middle of the day,
Speaker 1: it gets worse. Why are you doing that? I don't
Speaker 1: think we're gonna get an answer to that me homeowners
Speaker 1: and homeowner Bianca Laboof and Megan Brayden, speaking with local
Speaker 1: news outlet WDSU, said the woman's been coming onto their
Speaker 1: properties and being caught with her pants down. Quote. Her
Speaker 1: private parts are in full view of everyone to see
Speaker 1: it close, quote, said Labooth. These two ladies provided photos
Speaker 1: going back to twenty two the woman on their properties
Speaker 1: with their pants down, using their yards as a personal bathroom.
Speaker 1: Told she gets worse, the woman said, that is not
Speaker 1: what I want to be doing with my time, coming
Speaker 1: out and picking up human feces. It's unsanitary and it's
Speaker 1: really unacceptable dating the obvious gourd of the neighbors. Police
Speaker 1: were called multiple times, with the woman's only given a summons.
Speaker 1: I said, unfortunate I'm used to it by now, but
Speaker 1: it just makes me angry every time. It makes me
Speaker 1: more and more angry. Courd of the New Orleans Police Department.
Speaker 1: Someone's for lude conduct, carrying a final one hundred dollars
Speaker 1: or more in a minimum of thirty hours community service
Speaker 1: picking up trash or in this case, maybe she could
Speaker 1: go and pick up her own feces the other woman,
Speaker 1: Perry said, I'm not a jail person, but what can
Speaker 1: jail do that's not going to rehab her. I'd like
Speaker 1: for her to go to some get some help because
Speaker 1: it's obvious that she needs it. In the video, the
Speaker 1: woman's showing throwing tissue in Perry's yard, then walking by
Speaker 1: her back door that her and her son you to
Speaker 1: get into the car. There's instances where she yell. There's
Speaker 1: instances where she can go out of her door until
Speaker 1: can't go out of her door until the lady finishes
Speaker 1: because she doesn't want her son to come out and
Speaker 1: see the activity going on. According to New Orleans City Council,
Speaker 1: and Eugene Green called this a quality of life issue,
Speaker 1: saying his office is going to work to find a solution.
Speaker 1: Omer said they're tired of seeing the woman half naked
Speaker 1: leaving behind him ask for them to clean up. This
Speaker 1: issue needs to be addressed before it gets out of hand,
Speaker 1: Lebooth said, seems to me that it already has. Let's
Speaker 1: see here we go to Bedfordshire in the UK. Reports
Speaker 1: say police officers showed up at the home on Potton
Speaker 1: with a warrant to a rest aman in question around
Speaker 1: seven to twenty in the morning. Despite their initial search,
Speaker 1: they weren't able to find the suspect. Then they decided
Speaker 1: to expand their search to the sofa and that's where
Speaker 1: they found him, calling it comparable to a sketch of
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live but real, according to the led Bible.
Speaker 1: Local authority took to Facebook to say We've seen some
Speaker 1: things in our time, but we must say this is
Speaker 1: a first. This morning we executed a Warranton Potton policing
Speaker 1: team thought there was nothing more to be found with
Speaker 1: the bar property bar a friendly dog. Upon a closer search,
Speaker 1: officers found the suspect tucked into the base of the sofa.
Speaker 1: We thought the man would be more comfortable tucked into bed,
Speaker 1: so he'll be spending the next few hours in a
Speaker 1: custody cell. A little less of squeeze that way. Naked
Speaker 1: guy half naked, I should say, found hiding in the sofa,
Speaker 1: idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. Okay, I'm going
Speaker 1: to ask an upfront question. Will this Stormtrooper be able
Speaker 1: to hit the target? Because most Stormtroopers don't in Star
Speaker 1: Wars movies. The Star Wars fandom has been given their
Speaker 1: first official look at the new trans Stormtrooper. I can't
Speaker 1: believe this is even the thing, you know what. I'm
Speaker 1: not even gonna continue with that one. And here's one,
Speaker 1: since I'm running out of time, a trans Stormtrooper. They
Speaker 1: all look alike. They're all on the white plastic suits.
Speaker 1: Who's inside? I don't know. Everybody looks the same. Isn't
Speaker 1: that the point? Now we're gonna have a separate brigade
Speaker 1: for the trans Stormtroopers. Guys, we all know that's what
Speaker 1: Star Wars is all about. Here's the headline from the
Speaker 1: Daily Mail. Explicit lesbian scenes at the opera leave eighteen
Speaker 1: audience members requiring medical treatment. Graphics show features Graphics Show
Speaker 1: features naked nuns on roller skates and christ having his
Speaker 1: loincloth whipped off. Thanky continuing the downward spial spiral of humanity,
Speaker 1: the de evolution five fifty five fifty five kr se

Speaker 1: Over to the phones ago five one, three, seven, four,
Speaker 1: nine fifty five undred, eight hundred and eighty two to
Speaker 1: three talk in the order in which there receive thank
Speaker 1: you for calling today, CJA good to hear from you.
Speaker 10: Well, thank you very much, and I hope you're having
Speaker 10: a good Friday morning. I didn't watch the Ausmith Dinner,
Speaker 10: but I did see parts of it and replace this
Speaker 10: morning and tell you this much. Jim gaff again was
Speaker 10: wrong when he said that that room was a layup
Speaker 10: for any Democrat. That room is a Michael Jordan breakaway
Speaker 10: with nobody between him and the rim. But the basketball like,
Speaker 10: for her not to show up there is not just
Speaker 10: complete and confidence, it is just complete reality is stupidity.
Speaker 10: And then she does this stupid video that really shows
Speaker 10: who she is comfortable with and that is the Hollywood elite,
Speaker 10: and then she has no ability to connect with anybody
Speaker 10: outside of the Hollywood elite, and that includes those who
Speaker 10: are left of center and religious. And I just see
Speaker 10: this election is starting to break away. I know the
Speaker 10: full numbers are not really truly showing that completely yet nationally,
Speaker 10: but they're usually a week or two behind. And as
Speaker 10: I was telling somebody last night, I don't remember a
Speaker 10: day that Kamala Harris has won. In almost three since
Speaker 10: the debate. She hasn't won a single day in the media.
Speaker 10: She hasn't won a political day ever. Has been her
Speaker 10: in the background or her just really stumbling all over herself.
Speaker 1: This is true, CJ. And I'm going to ask you
Speaker 1: this question. Why do you think she didn't go? She
Speaker 1: said she was campaigning, but you know what, being at
Speaker 1: that dinner and having an opportunity to appear in front
Speaker 1: of those very important people and have whatever message you
Speaker 1: want to deliver telegraph in the press across this great
Speaker 1: land of bars. Because what happened, what's being telegraphed is
Speaker 1: that ridiculous video that she just sent in in LIEUISVI
Speaker 1: live performance that made her look like an idiot. Do
Speaker 1: you think because every time she comes out and utters
Speaker 1: syllables that aren't scripted and fails that that's the reason
Speaker 1: she didn't show up, because she can't work off teleprompter.
Speaker 1: She would have to do things on the fly. She
Speaker 1: would have to prepare for, you know, the sound bites
Speaker 1: that she wants to get in, and maybe she's incapable
Speaker 1: of doing that. I don't know, but you're right. She
Speaker 1: would have been like a welcome a rock star at
Speaker 1: that event. But no, she chose not to show up.
Speaker 1: I think it's a sign of cowardice or incompetence, or
Speaker 1: a reflection that her handler's didn't think she could even
Speaker 1: manage the event.
Speaker 10: And to to your point, the Al Smith dinner has
Speaker 10: become as big as any debate. Everybody covers it. You
Speaker 10: get a bunch of free airtime. What are you doing
Speaker 10: campaigning where you're spending a bunch of money? It tells
Speaker 10: me that either a she is so incapable of preparing
Speaker 10: for anything, or she gets scared of lights and cameras
Speaker 10: and just basically just freezes and doesn't know how to talk.
Speaker 10: And either one are not good recipes for the presidency
Speaker 10: of the United States.
Speaker 1: Or let me, let me focus on one critical role
Speaker 1: the president plays, which is Commander in chief of the
Speaker 1: US military forces. If she can't manage a friendly dinner
Speaker 1: that would have presumably helped her, then how is she
Speaker 1: going to be able to handle the stress of World
Speaker 1: War three, which appears to be breaking out scary stuff.
Speaker 1: DJ You're right, man, but listen that this, this is
Speaker 1: what everyone is observing today. She took a pass. And
Speaker 1: you may not know much about this particular event, but
Speaker 1: it is really important and I don't think anybody's missed it,
Speaker 1: with the exception of COVID. See the first time a
Speaker 1: nominee has not showed up since failed Democratic nominee Walter
Speaker 1: Mondale in nineteen eighty four. That's quite a long time.
Speaker 1: I remember nineteen eighty four, but it seems like just
Speaker 1: yesterday in many respects. Who's next, Joseph, Bobby, Welcome to
Speaker 1: the show.
Speaker 6: Happy Friday, Face, Flag family and flame throwers.
Speaker 1: Brothers. Come back to that. Oh that was a funny
Speaker 1: one Elon musk flamethrower. You gotta specify the brand. It'd
Speaker 1: be an Elon musk flamethrower. Anyway, go ahead, Bobby.
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what. Brother, Let's go back to issue one. Everybody,
Speaker 6: please just say no, no Issue one. No. That way
Speaker 6: you don't have to discuss it and worry about all
Speaker 6: the jerry mandering and how you may get on the board. Look,
Speaker 6: it's a bad situation. Everybody listening to this station knows.
Speaker 6: Just tell everybody to vote no. That's the first thing,
Speaker 6: and the one of the most important is that you've
Speaker 6: got a big migrant fist this weekend.
Speaker 1: Also migrant Fest.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's up the Dayton gun show.
Speaker 1: That's right. Bobby observed that at gun shows we have
Speaker 1: migrants purchasing firearms because there is no background check. Now
Speaker 1: you're making an argument for background checks. And you do that, Bobby,
Speaker 1: because you know, I can sell a firearm to you,
Speaker 1: or you could maybe give me an upper for a
Speaker 1: firearm that I own, which has happened. But if you
Speaker 1: were a FFL licensed seller of new firearms, that would
Speaker 1: have to go through a background check. So gun shows
Speaker 1: are places where you know, private sellers, you know, present
Speaker 1: their wares their collectors, and of course they can sell
Speaker 1: them without going through ff So you are making a
Speaker 1: great argument for background checks for individual transactions. Bobby. You
Speaker 1: realize that, don't you.
Speaker 6: Yes, they're in the state of Ohio, if you have
Speaker 6: a driver's license and you're not a convicted spell and
Speaker 6: you can go ahead and purchase and or sale to
Speaker 6: somebody that's a legal a hire resident. That's just the
Speaker 6: way the lawway.
Speaker 1: Is right, and we give driver's license to everyone. Everyone there.
Speaker 1: You have it, Bobby, Well, I know you didn't call
Speaker 1: to advocate for that, Bobby, but that's the point that
Speaker 1: we have reached. If you're concerned about illegal immigrants acquiring firearms.
Speaker 1: Most notably, given that we have about fifteen million new
Speaker 1: ones over the past four years, coupled with about two
Speaker 1: million known godaways, backgrounds unknown, it presents a very frightening scenario, Bobby,
Speaker 1: as you I'm sure agree with me on that. Always
Speaker 1: good to hear from your brother. Have a great weekend, Pat,
Speaker 1: welcome to the program, and a happy Friday to you.
Speaker 11: Insane to you, Brian and your health, honey.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 11: I went to the library yesterday and I got me
Speaker 11: a sample ballot to get an idea about this issue.
Speaker 11: Won and I don't. And the very first thing is
Speaker 11: when you can't vote somebody into office. This is a
Speaker 11: commission of fifty people, and the geremandering is going to
Speaker 11: help either one party or the other, And you can't.
Speaker 11: If you've got a problem with them, you can't do anything.
Speaker 11: You can't get rid of them. Only day if they
Speaker 11: find you know, if one of the members isn't doing
Speaker 11: what they're supposed to do, they can get rid of them.
Speaker 11: You can't do anything. You can't see them. You can't.
Speaker 11: I mean you can't even you're not even voting for
Speaker 11: these people. I said, this country is in a state
Speaker 11: right now. I don't know if the commedies are going
Speaker 11: to be taken over the Socialists or whoever, but I
Speaker 11: think we're in a world or hurt. And all I
Speaker 11: do every day in the Rosary I praise good wings
Speaker 11: over evil. But yeah I am not. I'm voting no
Speaker 11: on this one.
Speaker 1: Well, I think that's coming through loud and clear, Pat
Speaker 1: and I concur with you, and I recommend that everyone
Speaker 1: vote no. Just look at the money behind it, look
Speaker 1: at what they have done. It is a bunch of
Speaker 1: left wing organizations trying to change a pretty strong red
Speaker 1: state back into a blue state. They can't do it
Speaker 1: at the ballot box. They can't do it based upon
Speaker 1: their campaign platforms. They can't do it based upon you
Speaker 1: know what candidates normally run on, and we just don't abide.
Speaker 1: We won't vote for them, we don't vote for them.
Speaker 1: We have a Republican fully dominated Republican House, Senate, and
Speaker 1: governor's office, and they hate that, and so they're trying
Speaker 1: to change the narrative. Again, going back to the Wall
Speaker 1: Street Journals observations, note that in Democrat states they haven't
Speaker 1: pushed for this. They have gerimandering problems. In Democrat states
Speaker 1: they've been to the lawsuits have been filed over germandering,
Speaker 1: and Democrat states they have the same kind of problems
Speaker 1: we've had here in Ohio in the past. It's not
Speaker 1: that the problem doesn't exist, it's whether or not this
Speaker 1: is the appropriate solution. So how come they're not doing
Speaker 1: it in states where they have a pretty full on
Speaker 1: blue representation. Well, that's because they have what they want there.
Speaker 1: They're satisfied with it. There's no need to engage in
Speaker 1: this multi million dollar effort to convince us that we're
Speaker 1: wrong on some level. Don't do it. Pat appreciate it,
Speaker 1: get the message out, tell your friends, have them read it.
Speaker 1: Lord Almighty. It's difficult enough to get through it. That
Speaker 1: alone should probably reason enough to vote no on it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I like accountability, and I know politics. It's
Speaker 1: difficult to hold people accountable. You got to wait to
Speaker 1: the next election, but you at least have that option.
Speaker 1: You can vote someone out or vote for the other guy.
Speaker 1: Note Steve Shabbitz no longer in office. He was there
Speaker 1: forever he ran. He tried to hold a seat. People said, no,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you got a better candidate out
Speaker 1: of it. I certainly don't think so. But it can
Speaker 1: be done. Even though it's entrenched. Incumbents can be voted
Speaker 1: out of office six sixteen. Right now, if you have
Speaker 1: KCD talk station, feel free to call five one, three, seven,

Speaker 5: Com fifty five krc the talk station reads.
Speaker 1: Six one fifty five krc de talk station loves Me
Speaker 1: and my Friday's Tech Friday with day've hat are coming
Speaker 1: up at the bottom of the hour. David, of course,
Speaker 1: he's excited. Ahways is seems to agree with me with
Speaker 1: everything I ask him. Anyhow, three Sevenredewo three talk Time
Speaker 1: five fifty on eight and defend probably could make this
Speaker 1: into a plague update, but I just wanted to rattle
Speaker 1: off three headlines seemingly related. I think I can draw
Speaker 1: conclusions as to why these headlines read like they are.
Speaker 1: US Drinking rates hit the highest level since the nineteen
Speaker 1: seventies inflation storm, as tequila demand sores saw that one
Speaker 1: over at zero heads they have all the statistics on there.
Speaker 1: I guess we're drinking more. And as so far as
Speaker 1: drinking is concern, drinking at NFL games has gotten extraordinarily expensive.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you know that if you are one of
Speaker 1: the elite folks that can actually afford to go to
Speaker 1: an NFL football game. Parking tickets and the cost of
Speaker 1: food and beverage beer cost inflation. Another one over at
Speaker 1: zero has by way of illustration, you buy one beer
Speaker 1: at a Philly Eagles game, it's fifteen dollars and thirty
Speaker 1: five cents, up from seven dollars ten years ago. Bengals
Speaker 1: aren't listed here, but similar pricing structure across the spectrum
Speaker 1: Los Angeles fourteen to seventy five for a beer that
Speaker 1: used to be seven dollars and twenty cents. I know, Joe,
Speaker 1: do you think that's why everyone likes to tailgate? Because
Speaker 1: the beers out in the tailgate party. Are a whole
Speaker 1: lot less expensive, and you can do whatever you want,
Speaker 1: eat your own food and hot dogs and not pay
Speaker 1: ninety jillion dollars or like, for example, what is it
Speaker 1: a Skyline chili dog at the game? Is like seven
Speaker 1: dollars or something like that. Who can argue with He's Loise.
Speaker 1: That's why I say no to big stadiums. Let's se
Speaker 1: what New Hampshire Gary's got. New Hampshire Gary, Happy Friday
Speaker 1: to you, Welcome, Good.
Speaker 4: Morning, Brian. Hey, uh, I just I thought I heard
Speaker 4: something that you were talking about your lymphoma, and I
Speaker 4: just wanted to let you know you're in my prayers
Speaker 4: and well something to the effect of you're just taking
Speaker 4: it day by day kind of thing.
Speaker 1: Well, it's like I'm rewinding the clock to when I
Speaker 1: originally got diagnosed. I had the original diagnosis in twenty eighteen,
Speaker 1: low spectrum lymphoma. So after they almost made it to
Speaker 1: four years without any symptoms. But I started having some
Speaker 1: symptoms crop up, say a few months ago, and I
Speaker 1: finally went to the doctor and then I had the
Speaker 1: CT scan, then they did the biopsy, and then I
Speaker 1: found out yesterday definitively that it has not gotten more aggressive.
Speaker 1: It's just growing again. But it's still low spectrum. So
Speaker 1: I either go back to a comparable treatment protocol which
Speaker 1: gave me basically three and a half plus years, or
Speaker 1: there's another treatment protocol I can choose to go with.
Speaker 1: So I had some ops. But since I was in
Speaker 1: remission for such a long time and I was told
Speaker 1: originally and I still believe this, you'll die with it,
Speaker 1: not from it. I'm in the best possible place, I said,
Speaker 1: you know, I even posted on Facebook. I always feel
Speaker 1: like I've won the cancer diagnosis lottery because no one
Speaker 1: sat me down and said, you know, buddy, you've got
Speaker 1: you know, stage four metastas is all running through your body,
Speaker 1: or pancreatic cancer or geoblastoma or liver cancer. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's a multitude of cancers that are so much more aggressive,
Speaker 1: requires so much more treatment, and people are in jeopardy
Speaker 1: of dying. That's why I say, I appreciate the prayers,
Speaker 1: and they worked. I'm at the same place. I'm not worried.
Speaker 1: I'm in great hands with OHC. At least I feel
Speaker 1: that way, and so prioritize you can take me off
Speaker 1: the prayer list. Appreciated it worked. Put somebody with geoblastoma
Speaker 1: down on that list of prayers, or help the cure
Speaker 1: starts now dealing with pediatric brain cancer, that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: But I sure appreciate it. I'm not trying to say
Speaker 1: I don't. I just figure people have a finite amount
Speaker 1: of time and a number of people that are worthy
Speaker 1: of prayers. Your prayers, as far as I'm concerned, worked
Speaker 1: for me. So thank you very much for the inquiry.
Speaker 1: I God love each and every one of you. It's
Speaker 1: easy to get through tough times when you have friends

Speaker 1: a pleasure to have you on the morning show.
Speaker 12: Brian, Always good to be here, Always look forward to it.
Speaker 1: And Happy Friday to you. So China, Chinese are having
Speaker 1: problems with TikTok too.
Speaker 12: Huh, Well, I mean, who would have guessed this is
Speaker 12: a study that's been reported on and a monitor you know. Yeah,
Speaker 12: you and I have discussed TikTok many times over the years,
Speaker 12: and really ever since it's taken off as a super
Speaker 12: popular social media platform slash app, it's been under fire.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 12: Originally most of the concern was around privacy, and we've
Speaker 12: seen issues with it essentially being a tool used by
Speaker 12: the Chinese Communist Party and that's essentially what this is
Speaker 12: pointing out. Now you know, theoretically it's going to be
Speaker 12: banned in the US. We'll see what happens with that.
Speaker 12: I haven't heard much about that lately since the initial you.
Speaker 1: Know, reporting on that.
Speaker 12: But ultimately the bottom line is I would just encourage
Speaker 12: people to think about three things before I get into
Speaker 12: the specifics of this. TikTok is owned by Byedance, a
Speaker 12: Chinese company.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 12: Two, When you look around and you see how adversarial
Speaker 12: China has increasingly become with the United States, in particular
Speaker 12: in the West in general, that should be a concern
Speaker 12: for anyone to think that data of it's being collected.
Speaker 1: By this app.
Speaker 12: And I would remind folks, don't take my word for it,
Speaker 12: go to the Apple App Store and look up the
Speaker 12: privacy label for TikTok. I mean, people should do this
Speaker 12: for any app before they install it on their phone,
Speaker 12: because most apps are not free because the developers don't
Speaker 12: have anything better to do with their time, and they
Speaker 12: care about you deeply as a person. They're building this
Speaker 12: stuff because they want to collect your data. That's why
Speaker 12: they're free. They collect, you know, intensive and detailed data
Speaker 12: from you. And when you look at the Apple app
Speaker 12: Store privacy label and TikTok, it's you know, it's literally
Speaker 12: collecting virtually everything off your phone, Yeah, your location, you contacts,
Speaker 12: I mean virtually everything. And then number three, China has
Speaker 12: a law. Right, you can look this up. It's been
Speaker 12: well reported on in the US. China has a law
Speaker 12: that says any Chinese company pretty much has to turn
Speaker 12: over anything the People's Republic of.
Speaker 5: China wants at any time.
Speaker 12: So that alone, to me, would be enough to ensure
Speaker 12: that I never use TikTok. Then you get into some
Speaker 12: of the reporting that's come along the way. You know,
Speaker 12: Forbes did a big thing in this heating future where
Speaker 12: China can basically or I should say bye dance Byte dance.
Speaker 12: Can you know the parent company can make things trend right.
Speaker 12: So in theory you're using the app, things trend because
Speaker 12: they trend right. Many people look at some things, share
Speaker 12: something whatever that creates a trend. Well, they can control
Speaker 12: that themselves. So anything they want to amplify or anything
Speaker 12: they want to push down, they can do that. That
Speaker 12: to me is a huge concern and that's what this
Speaker 12: article really is addressing. Study finds TikTok mutes descent against China.
Speaker 6: So even if you.
Speaker 12: Don't assume they're using TikTok to amplify pro PRC sash
Speaker 12: CCP narratives, someone did a study here. Researchers set of
Speaker 12: twenty four accounts on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube simulating sixteen
Speaker 12: year old users.
Speaker 1: In the US.
Speaker 12: They tested the algorithms of these platforms using four keywords
Speaker 12: linked to the CCP's human rights violations. And then when
Speaker 12: you you know, look at the results on TikTok, the
Speaker 12: stuff that was negative towards PRC was suppressed. And I
Speaker 12: mean that's really the bottom line, you know, I just
Speaker 12: don't understand how people aren't getting the message that TikTok
Speaker 12: is not your friendly, local neighborhood social media app. Now,
Speaker 12: they all have their problems, as we've seen, you know,
Speaker 12: and there's been censorship concerns around every one of these
Speaker 12: platforms at some point. Really, but again, we have an
Speaker 12: adversarial nation state actor controlling this thing, and you know,
Speaker 12: when you when you dig down into its capabilities and
Speaker 12: the idea, especially as we you know, towards this election,
Speaker 12: that they're not trying to control the narrative that they're
Speaker 12: not trying to forward pro PRC messages and you know,
Speaker 12: suppress anti PRC messages. It's just crazy, and every day
Speaker 12: it seems like there's more and more evidence that points
Speaker 12: that out. So again I encourage people to go see
Speaker 12: for themselves. I will post a link to this in
Speaker 12: my notes from today's show. People should go see this
Speaker 12: stuff for themselves and then share it and use platforms
Speaker 12: like x to share this stuff widely so that hopefully
Speaker 12: people will stop using this stuff definitely.
Speaker 1: You know, you've given this message over and over again
Speaker 1: in a multitude of reasons why TikTok is dangerous and bad.
Speaker 1: It's addictive, it's propaganda. I mean, you know, I go
Speaker 1: back to something you've pointed out many times. A lot
Speaker 1: of people's reaction is, well, you know, I enjoy TikTok
Speaker 1: and everybody's on TikTok, and you know, I don't care
Speaker 1: if the Chinese Communist Party has everything on my phone.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't mean anything to me. And it's a terrible,
Speaker 1: terrible attitude to take. But that therein lines the challenge.
Speaker 1: It's so popular that people are willing in the face
Speaker 1: of knowing exactly what you told and what you stated,
Speaker 1: and the manipulation that they engage in complements of the
Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party, that they're willing to just keep it
Speaker 1: anyway just because.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's it's very frustrating for me personally, Brian, trying
Speaker 12: to get people because it's not like there aren't alternatives
Speaker 12: out there, right and Instagram, Facebook X, There's plenty of
Speaker 12: alternatives that you can use Snapchat instead of this thing.
Speaker 6: But yeah, it's.
Speaker 12: In a continuous state of frustration trying to give people
Speaker 12: to take this seriously and stop using it.
Speaker 1: Or just don't participate at all. Take That's where I go. Pause.
Speaker 1: We're going to find out more data breaches twenty three
Speaker 1: meters Pokemon and Cisco. I didn't even know Pokemon is
Speaker 1: a thing days. Gonna talk about that in a minute
Speaker 1: six thirty six. Right now, if you buy kcit detoxication,
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you about the seventy five plus
Speaker 1: years of Zimmer heating and air conditioning helping out their
Speaker 1: loyal customers, keeping it home safe and efficient and comfortable.
Speaker 1: That is the Zimmer tradition. Tradition I should more properly
Speaker 1: articulate the word Barties boxis to Zimmer. You trust the
Speaker 1: third generations at Zimmer. They are awesome and what they
Speaker 1: do customer service is great. They can fix your system,
Speaker 1: heating your air conditioning system. They do twenty four hour day,
Speaker 1: seven a week emergency service and they'll replace your air
Speaker 1: conditioner if it is that time. The cool Carrier Comfort
Speaker 1: Rebate act while it's still going on, I figure since
Speaker 1: winter's fast approaching with moving away from that. But until
Speaker 1: they tell me no, it's twenty one hundred dollars in
Speaker 1: savings on a new carrier unit. That's a good chunk
Speaker 1: of money right there. And Zimmer do a wonderful job
Speaker 1: installing that and you'll be very very comfortable with the
Speaker 1: news carrier, especially given the rebate of twenty one hundred dollars.

Speaker 1: can do for you and schedule appointment, it's go Zimmer

Speaker 1: Fifty five You talk Station Bryan Thomas with tech Freddy,
Speaker 1: Dave Hatter Fine Dave and the team online at intrust
Speaker 1: it dot com and let us move over to data
Speaker 1: breaches I didn't even know Pokemon was still a thing. Dave.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I don't have I don't have little
Speaker 1: kids anymore now, so, believe it or not, I.
Speaker 12: Didn't really think people were still playing that either. It's
Speaker 12: kind of surprising to me. I mean, you know, there's
Speaker 12: there's the whole card game thing, there's.
Speaker 6: The whole TV show.
Speaker 5: Then you had that app.
Speaker 12: You know people were playing for a while where you'd
Speaker 12: go try to catch the Pokemon. Oh I remember that, Yeah,
Speaker 12: which went through kind of a you know, like a
Speaker 12: just crazy phase where people of all ages were playing
Speaker 12: this thing like crazy.
Speaker 5: So, you know, it's just it's hard.
Speaker 12: This is another thing that's hard to impress upon folks,
Speaker 12: both from a consumer perspective why you should care about this,
Speaker 12: and then as a business why you should care about this,
Speaker 12: because there's two different angles. In my mind, when you
Speaker 12: talk about data breaches, generally, what we see is one
Speaker 12: of two things. A there's some kind of misconfiguration that
Speaker 12: leads to information being leaked. A lot of times when
Speaker 12: you read about data breaches with one of these cloud
Speaker 12: platforms like Amazon Web Services or Google or Microsoft, it's
Speaker 12: not that Google or Microsoft has been hacked it's that
Speaker 12: someone put their data in these cloud environments and did
Speaker 12: not configure the environment to protect it right, because there's
Speaker 12: a society of shared responsibility. When you use a cloud
Speaker 12: based service. Microsoft makes certain capabilities available, you may or
Speaker 12: may not choose to use all of them. You may
Speaker 12: or may not understand how to use them correctly. Does
Speaker 12: that make sense?
Speaker 5: First off?
Speaker 1: Yeah, for the most part.
Speaker 12: Sure, it's a really important concept. If you think, Okay,
Speaker 12: I'm going to get rid of my servers and just
Speaker 12: dumb stuff in the cloud, which many businesses do, and
Speaker 12: in many cases that makes a lot of sense. If
Speaker 12: you do that, but you don't really understand how to
Speaker 12: configure that environment correctly, you're gonna get breached. It's just
Speaker 12: a matter of time. A perfect example this would be Snowflake.
Speaker 12: A lot of the most recent larger data breaches, like
Speaker 12: AT and T, they were using a third party tool
Speaker 12: called Snowflake to do data analysis, and when they put
Speaker 12: their data into this Snowflake platform, they didn't set it
Speaker 12: up right and then then it was stolen. So you know,
Speaker 12: at the end of the day, the responsibility really even
Speaker 12: though Snowflake, if you read into it, could have done
Speaker 12: more to make more tools available to protect it. The
Speaker 12: people that put their data there just didn't do the
Speaker 12: right things and thus it was stolen.
Speaker 1: That's sound like you had a question, Brian, kind of
Speaker 1: put a plug in maybe for interest. It is that
Speaker 1: the kind of thing you help businesses do well.
Speaker 12: As a matter of fact, Brian, it is the exact
Speaker 12: sort of thing that we do.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, I appreciate the plug.
Speaker 1: No, I listen to somebody out there is going, well,
Speaker 1: I don't know how to use this stuff. Well, that's
Speaker 1: why you have interest, I t I mean, I know
Speaker 1: you're not the only game in town, but you know,
Speaker 1: it's an important thing for me to point out you
Speaker 1: do sponsor this segment. I mean, if I had to
Speaker 1: start from scratch on this, I wouldn't even know where
Speaker 1: to begin.
Speaker 12: What we're doing, Brian, you know it support and cybersecurity protection,
Speaker 12: but within that, a big component of that is in
Speaker 12: many cases helping businesses you know, modernize, improve their productivity,
Speaker 12: improve their productive efficiency and security by moving you know,
Speaker 12: their workloads to the cloud.
Speaker 1: All right, what about what of twenty three and me?
Speaker 1: I always thought that it was a bad idea to
Speaker 1: give up your genetic information to some random company. Out
Speaker 1: there in the world. I mean, that's the key to
Speaker 1: everything that you are. That one was breached as well.
Speaker 12: Couldn't agree with you not it hasn't been breached, but
Speaker 12: it has. Here's the problem, okay, and I agree with
Speaker 12: you wholeheartedly. I've tried to convince people for a long
Speaker 12: time that any Okay, if you go to your doctor
Speaker 12: or your local hospital, your data theoretically is protected under
Speaker 12: HIPPA right right now. If the data is breached, there
Speaker 12: are consequences. These healthcare companies that are fall under HIPPA,
Speaker 12: I can tell you from firsthand experience, spend a lot
Speaker 12: of time.
Speaker 1: Trying to protect your data.
Speaker 5: It's oh, yes, some of them.
Speaker 12: Some of them still get hacked, but they understand the
Speaker 12: legal requirements for that. Companies like twenty two to three
Speaker 12: and me are not a healthcare company. They don't fall
Speaker 12: under HIPPO. And when you send your DNA into them,
Speaker 12: to your point, you're giving them the most valuable information
Speaker 12: you have. I mean, you can't get a new fingerprint,
Speaker 12: you can't get a new retinal print, you can't get
Speaker 12: a new DNA. If that's if this biometric stuff where
Speaker 12: your DNA gets leaked somehow it's hard to say what
Speaker 12: could happen.
Speaker 1: Let me put it, let me put a stronger point
Speaker 1: of that. You're speaking of China. Yes, many people believe
Speaker 1: that the bat virus, the covid that was manufactured in
Speaker 1: Wuhan Institute Virology, was specifically designed to attack certain types
Speaker 1: of people. And I don't know if that ever came
Speaker 1: to fruition. But if you can design a destructive pathogen
Speaker 1: that goes directly toward people with certain DNA characteristics, if
Speaker 1: there's a reason right there, I couldn't agree.
Speaker 12: With you more. So here, I know we'll run out
Speaker 12: of time. Here's the bottom line on this. Twenty three
Speaker 12: and me you know, for a while was one of
Speaker 12: these unicorn Darling type companies. But once you've submitted your
Speaker 12: DNA to them and you've gotten the results, okay, what
Speaker 12: are you using for again?
Speaker 1: And that's the problem.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 1: So law enforcement has found it very valuable to subpoena
Speaker 1: twenty three meters to find out, like for the example,
Speaker 1: to pre trying to data match rapists DNA. So there
Speaker 1: is a valuable sort of crime fighting element in there.
Speaker 1: But once it's out, it can be subpoenaed and it
Speaker 1: can be handed over to others.
Speaker 12: And when this when they go you know, they're teetering
Speaker 12: now because they don't get repeat business. If they go bankrupt,
Speaker 12: what happens to that data? I can guarantee you there
Speaker 12: will be other organizations that want to buy it. So
Speaker 12: so Toy three and me hasn't been breached per se.
Speaker 12: The concern many people are raising, including myself at this point,
Speaker 12: is if they don't make it, or if they get
Speaker 12: bought by another company, whatever terms you agree to, what
Speaker 12: happens to that What happens to your data?
Speaker 5: Who could it be sold to?
Speaker 12: And what does that mean for you? So I cannot
Speaker 12: stress enough There absolutely zero chance anytime in the near future. Now,
Speaker 12: A couple states do have laws that would potentially protect you,
Speaker 12: most do not. Most states have no privacy law right
Speaker 12: at eighteen do A couple have laws that directly try
Speaker 12: to address this type of situation. But even with that
Speaker 12: eighteen and within the eighteen mostly so you're kind of
Speaker 12: on your own. And until there's some sort of national
Speaker 12: privacy law that would potentially protect this data period, there
Speaker 12: is not a chance, not a chance, I would give
Speaker 12: any kind of healthcare data to any private company that
Speaker 12: is not under him no way.
Speaker 1: Exclamation point coming up. One of the more frightening elements.
Speaker 1: It's mornings Morning's discussions with Dave. A water company shut
Speaker 1: down after a cyber attack. We'll get to that in
Speaker 1: a moment. Binical bills number one cause of bankruptcy. I
Speaker 1: can understand that MRIs at a hospital thirty five hundred
Speaker 1: plus dollars doesn't include the radiologists report. You get a
Speaker 1: separate bill for that. Or the contrast, that's an extra
Speaker 1: MRIs at Affordable Imaging Services four hundred and ninety five bucks.
Speaker 1: Set scans not five thousand, four hundred and fifty bucks.
Speaker 1: Echo cardiogram at the hospital two thousand dollars maybe more,
Speaker 1: No imaging report. Affordable Imaging Services four hundred and ninety
Speaker 1: five bucks, and the ultra sound at the hospital two
Speaker 1: thousand dollars average two hundred and fifty bucks. Affordable Imaging
Speaker 1: Services has no hidden costs. They use the same high
Speaker 1: quality equipment as the hospitals. Each image comes with a
Speaker 1: board certified radiologists report. The last CT scan I got,
Speaker 1: the one that revealed that my you know, low spectrum
Speaker 1: lymphoma had you know, gotten active again. I did it
Speaker 1: at Affordable imaging services. I saved myself a heapload of money.
Speaker 1: That's the important thing about it. They've been at this
Speaker 1: for more than forty years. Call schedule appointment. You can
Speaker 1: go where you want. Well, my doctor said, get the
Speaker 1: CT scan. Suggests that i'd go to the imaging department
Speaker 1: of the hospital. I said, now I go do a
Speaker 1: commercial for affordable imaging. I'm gonna go there. She's like, great,
Speaker 1: and no problems at all with the images or the
Speaker 1: radiologists report. Everything was great five one three seven, five
Speaker 1: three eight thousand. Other than the results five one three
Speaker 1: seven five three eight thousand. Visit them online learn more
Speaker 1: Affordable Medimaging dot.
Speaker 5: Com fifty five krc Are you receiving.
Speaker 1: Letters from the one I pick about? KRCD talk station
Speaker 1: interest it dot Com sponsored the segment Dave Hatter and
Speaker 1: his team right there to help you businesses out there
Speaker 1: with your business needs in computers. Okay, this one's frightening.
Speaker 1: This is the kind of thing I worry about in
Speaker 1: terms of cyber attack, the water being shut down, the
Speaker 1: electricity grid being shut down, maybe the gas not flowing anymore.
Speaker 1: A multitude of potentials here, and we actually have a
Speaker 1: real illustration with this water company day.
Speaker 12: Yeah, Brian, We've talked about this kind of thing before
Speaker 12: and it keeps coming up again. First off, I want
Speaker 12: to remind folks critical infrastructure. You touched on several of
Speaker 12: the sectors there. FBI has sixteen different sectors they define
Speaker 12: as critical infrastructure, and it's again some of the things
Speaker 12: you just mentioned water, gas, electric, chemical plants, transportation, et cetera. Right,
Speaker 12: and you know, by any objective measure, just go see
Speaker 12: for yourself with the reporting, these types of operations are
Speaker 12: increasingly under cyber attack, I mean, and often attribution of
Speaker 12: who attacks something is difficult, especially if they're smart. When
Speaker 12: I mean when you look at the level of skill
Speaker 12: and sophistication, for example of what the Israelis pulled off
Speaker 12: with the page Oh you know, it's it can be
Speaker 12: very difficult to put the blame in the right place
Speaker 12: because you'll hear all it was the Russians, well was it?
Speaker 12: Or was it the Chinese covering their tracks making it look.
Speaker 1: Well, no, the fact that it was done, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's the kind of thing that can be done nefarious
Speaker 1: actor absolutely or not.
Speaker 12: But so so when people say, you know, why should
Speaker 12: I worry about this? And you know, I would remind
Speaker 12: folks a lot of people still don't know about Stuck's
Speaker 12: net back. You know, many quite a while ago, allegedly
Speaker 12: the US, probably working with the Israelis, built a very
Speaker 12: elaborate virus for lack of a better description, were able
Speaker 12: to get it into the uranium and Richmond plants in Iran,
Speaker 12: And while the centrifuges that were working on enriching the
Speaker 12: uranium doing their thing, they were reporting bad information back
Speaker 12: to the operators. So the operators thought the machinery was
Speaker 12: doing what it was supposed to do and operating within
Speaker 12: its limits, but instead it was basically ripping itself apart.
Speaker 12: Hundreds of these centerfuges were destroyed. Again, this is well
Speaker 12: documented stucks net. So when people say, well, this can't happen,
Speaker 12: this is far fetched, it's science fiction.
Speaker 5: It's already been done at least once.
Speaker 12: So when you think about how devastating it would be
Speaker 12: to our society if the water was shut off or
Speaker 12: or worse, poisoned. And there have been instances where hackers
Speaker 12: broke into a water plant and changed the amount of.
Speaker 1: Chemicals get remember talking with you about that.
Speaker 12: Yeah, thankfully no one was injured. But there have been
Speaker 12: several of these attacks, the most recent one being on
Speaker 12: American Water. Here's the one of the headlines, American Water
Speaker 12: shuts down online services after cyber attack. They had to
Speaker 12: take some of their systems offline. You know, they serve
Speaker 12: roughly fourteen million people across the United States, sixty five
Speaker 12: hundred employees, eighteen military and stas relations. So you know,
Speaker 12: I just can't stress enough. You know, as a consumer,
Speaker 12: what can you do? Well, you can be aware of
Speaker 12: these things and then put pressure on your elected representatives,
Speaker 12: your local water company, water district, whatever it is, to
Speaker 12: make sure they're taking these things seriously and they're doing
Speaker 12: vulnerability assessments and penetration testing and updating their systems because
Speaker 12: the successful attacks, specifically in the water sector have often
Speaker 12: been they have legacy systems, old outdated versions of stuff
Speaker 12: that aren't updated or can't be updated, and that's.
Speaker 1: What gets hacked.
Speaker 12: You know, I get it costs money to address these issues,
Speaker 12: but you know we're talking about like that, Yeah, kinetic
Speaker 12: impact on our physical society. Yeah, ultimately life and death
Speaker 12: and possibly an existential situation, because you know, if you
Speaker 12: knock out the power grid, eventually, you know, you're going
Speaker 12: to have all kinds of other problems. Can you get
Speaker 12: fuel to the generators that would keep pumping the water?
Speaker 9: You know?
Speaker 12: So I know this sounds very very doomy and you know,
Speaker 12: very dystopian and so forth, but it's real. Yeah, it's
Speaker 12: not just me making this stuff up. People can go
Speaker 12: see for themselves. And to that point, Brian, you know,
Speaker 12: because I talk to a lot of other local governments,
Speaker 12: both as the mayor of Fort Wright, trying to convince
Speaker 12: them this is ree and his intrust trying to help businesses,
Speaker 12: and you know, government agencies address these kind of things.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 12: I hate that I always have to be the doomsday
Speaker 12: guy with a ten foil half. But I put together
Speaker 12: a blog where I've just every time I see one
Speaker 12: of these stories that's new because you know, you get
Speaker 12: a lot of a lot of different reporting on the
Speaker 12: same situation. So every new situation shows up that I
Speaker 12: can find, I'm putting it in my blog. I'll share
Speaker 12: that in the link today too, so people can see
Speaker 12: for themselves that this isn't.
Speaker 1: A one off thing.
Speaker 12: It's not just you know, one local government in Wyoming.
Speaker 12: It's not just one water plant in Peoria or something
Speaker 12: these to continue to happen. You know, we've had huber
Speaker 12: Heights and Columbus here locally had some pretty devastating cyber attacks.
Speaker 12: Now they weren't critical infrastructure. They were more of your
Speaker 12: standard I want to steal your money and steal your
Speaker 12: data pay me a rant type of situation. You know,
Speaker 12: huber Heights has publicly disclosed so far they've spend eight
Speaker 12: hundred thousand dollars trying to recover from this ransomware attack.
Speaker 12: Whose city has an eight spare eight hundred thousand laying
Speaker 12: around in their budget?
Speaker 5: None that I know of, None I know either priority priorities,
Speaker 5: day priorities.
Speaker 12: Exactly right.
Speaker 1: You want security in the cyber world, keep them infrastructure protected,
Speaker 1: or maybe a new leg of the street car had

Speaker 1: Race in full steam ahead. John Pearson after the news,
Speaker 1: Talk October.
Speaker 4: The whole assassination is sounding off so ridiculous, it's surreal.
Speaker 13: Fifty five krz, the Talk Steation. This report is sponsored
Speaker 13: by the Berna Les Lethal seven oh six, the fifty
Speaker 13: five RCD talk station. Brian Thomas wishing everyone a very
Speaker 13: happy Friday. I love my Fridays, and I love talking
Speaker 13: to folks, and I love particularly when folks I'm talking
Speaker 13: to are in studio. And thank you Jonathan Pearson, running
Speaker 13: for Hamilton County Commissioner, for joining me in studio to
Speaker 13: talk politics for a while.
Speaker 1: Here. Jonathan good have you Ron? Well, thank you, Bryan,
Speaker 1: I appreciated good morning. Uh, nothing really to talk about
Speaker 1: in the world of politics, is there. No, it's a
Speaker 1: slow world. It's uh, you know it may you live
Speaker 1: in interesting times. These are such boring times, it is, Jonathan.
Speaker 1: The first thing I said to you when you came
Speaker 1: in the studio was like, commissioner race has really, really,
Speaker 1: really been very low key. It's sort of like it's
Speaker 1: just off in the distance someplace they haven't and there's
Speaker 1: no rackous debates and no finger pointing and no you know,
Speaker 1: prominent you know, display of alternative viewpoints why you should
Speaker 1: vote for me and why you shouldn't vote for her,
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Not a lot of reporting on
Speaker 1: the commissioner's race either, you have any I mean, are
Speaker 1: you in agreement with me on that jam? Since you're
Speaker 1: the candidate, I mean, you would know better than anybody else.
Speaker 2: It's been very interesting because people I've spent more time
Speaker 2: explaining what the commission does, right, because most people stare
Speaker 2: at me, go what is it? So what I always
Speaker 2: my tagline is it's the most boring important job in
Speaker 2: the county.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a wonderful way of putting it because.
Speaker 5: We deal with a lot of money.
Speaker 1: It is the largest chunk of which is the Sheriff's department.
Speaker 1: Of course, we're all pulling for Sheriff Jim Neil or
Speaker 1: Jim Neil former sheriff. I think he's the best qualified
Speaker 1: for the job. And don't recall anytime that Jim Neil
Speaker 1: had his firearms stolen from his vehicle?
Speaker 5: No, I don't. I don't think Jim would be the
Speaker 5: type to leave.
Speaker 1: It in his car either, right, Yeah, and even can
Speaker 1: you remember the lock your junk in your trunk campaign
Speaker 1: to avoid smashing grabs?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, physician healed myself, eddiehow just Neiceter plugging there for
Speaker 1: Jim Neil because I really support me.
Speaker 5: He's a good guy.
Speaker 1: And of course Hamilton County Prosecutor Melissa Power is so
Speaker 1: important to keep her for.
Speaker 2: Oh, extremely, she's tough on crimes. She's the last She's
Speaker 2: literally the last one in America that a major city
Speaker 2: for Republican.
Speaker 1: Oh that is so disheartening.
Speaker 2: It is because of the fact that the average Republican
Speaker 2: thinks of their community as a safe, vibrant place to
Speaker 2: walk around and do what they want to do. And
Speaker 2: let's just think of these cities that we start talking about,
Speaker 2: just one Detroit, Cleveland, you know, let's be local Indianapolis,
Speaker 2: and you say, well, there's not a high crime in there.
Speaker 2: The FBI just secretly snuck in the new crime status.
Speaker 2: I saw that, and uh huh shocker. They went up
Speaker 2: sixty five percent under Biden. G I'm stunned.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And it's interesting, you know, honestly, I'm surprised
Speaker 1: that data came out before the election, correcting the record
Speaker 1: in advance.
Speaker 2: Well they corrected it actually in September. That's how quiet
Speaker 2: they did it. We didn't even know that and it
Speaker 2: was found by accident by I think it was of
Speaker 2: all things like USA today.
Speaker 5: It's hard which you wish. Who would have never figured
Speaker 5: they would bring it forward?
Speaker 1: Not exactly your conservative leaning newspaper, is that? Jonathan, Well,
Speaker 1: let's talk about your qualifications. You're running for Hamilton County Commissioner.
Speaker 1: Clearly you understand the job, since you're going around and
Speaker 1: explaining it a lot to folks, But by way of
Speaker 1: background and what what what qualifies you to the extent
Speaker 1: anybody really needs to be qualified for office anymore? Quite often,
Speaker 1: like for example, in the prosecutors race, some are not
Speaker 1: qualified to that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm stunned.
Speaker 2: But the Democrats were willing to put up somebody who
Speaker 2: is nothing but a perennial runner.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, honestly, she runs for everything but qualified for nothing.
Speaker 1: And it's I think their belief, and I think it's
Speaker 1: a well founded belief, at least if you're a betting
Speaker 1: man that Hamilton County is blue. Now, so if you
Speaker 1: can just really run anyone with the D after the name,
Speaker 1: they're going to win.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I would like to think, for you know that the
Speaker 2: D in this case would stand at least for demonstrating
Speaker 2: some talent.
Speaker 1: But I can't say that of that particular person. You
Speaker 1: don't want to put her name on the record. You
Speaker 1: want to remind my listeners who you're running against, because
Speaker 1: Adam Kaylor also has an opponent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we're running against three House and rece
Speaker 2: for the Commissioner's office. And the reality is that I
Speaker 2: wanted to run because there's a lot of money that
Speaker 2: we're talking about. I mean, I don't think people understand
Speaker 2: how much money that the commissioners deal with one point
Speaker 2: three billion dollars and you know, deals with all the
Speaker 2: moneies that come in from property taxes and from the
Speaker 2: sales tax. It doesn't go to the city. The rest
Speaker 2: is going through the county and we deal with that,
Speaker 2: and those go to the various projects that you are
Speaker 2: go around, and the most notable to everybody as a
Speaker 2: sewer system and the Bengals Stadium and the convention Center.
Speaker 2: Well those are monstrously large ticket items and I don't
Speaker 2: think people realize what that means to their day to
Speaker 2: day life in this little burg we call Hamlin County.
Speaker 2: And my whole goal was simple, let's go in and
Speaker 2: just as I say, am I thing well studied budget.
Speaker 2: Everybody wants to have these fancies terms of balance structured budget,
Speaker 2: which is just a lie. It's we've managed to fool
Speaker 2: you so you're stupid enough to not look. That's our hope.
Speaker 2: The reality is well studied budget is where you go
Speaker 2: line by line by line and you just start picking
Speaker 2: that thing apart and you look at it and say,
Speaker 2: do we really need one hundred million for all of
Speaker 2: these things? Do we need this job to be five
Speaker 2: minus going to be done at three? This job for
Speaker 2: five may need actually seven million? And then we start
Speaker 2: getting this so when we go to things like the
Speaker 2: sheriff's office, which is extremely important and one of the
Speaker 2: largest things we fund. We actually have the money. We
Speaker 2: can look at a good sheriff neil and say, hey,
Speaker 2: what do you really need the money for? And you know,
Speaker 2: do you need more for more deputies?
Speaker 5: Do you need this?
Speaker 2: Because right now the sheriff's offices is funded ridiculously well
Speaker 2: for the people that are there, and they're losing people
Speaker 2: down and they'll she'll say that there's plenty of people
Speaker 2: in there because their HR department said, no, actually, it's
Speaker 2: going up. Well, as I mentioned in one interview, sure
Speaker 2: it's going up. Because when you're in a hole, there's
Speaker 2: only one way out, you know. So when that many
Speaker 2: people walk away and you hire one more person, well
Speaker 2: you've got you know, you're really on the move now.
Speaker 2: And the challenge that we're facing and all of that
Speaker 2: is why are they leaving? See, when we work politics
Speaker 2: from identity as opposed to talent, it stops at the
Speaker 2: door because once I see you at the door, I
Speaker 2: know what you are.
Speaker 5: Whether you want to.
Speaker 2: Say that you're you're gay, or you're black, or you're white,
Speaker 2: or you're jew or whatever, all of that becomes pointless
Speaker 2: when you sit down at the table to do the job.
Speaker 1: And so now it's mayor on behalf of every resident
Speaker 1: of the county. Yeah, and we're made up of a
Speaker 1: real wild mix of folks here in Hamilton County.
Speaker 2: That's the beauty of this county. I know, man, I know,
Speaker 2: I think that's the beauty of this county because when
Speaker 2: I was I grew up in Springfield, Ohio.
Speaker 5: There's a nice city to nothing going on there, you know.
Speaker 2: So, but it was interesting because in my background, I
Speaker 2: went to school in an inner city Catholic school and
Speaker 2: it was inner city in every way except where it
Speaker 2: was Catholic. But everything you expect to happen inner city school.
Speaker 2: I mean we had to step over drunks and drug
Speaker 2: addicts to get into the building. Okay, sometimes I have
Speaker 2: to call sister, and sister so and so is drunk
Speaker 2: and he's blocking the door and we can't open it.
Speaker 2: I mean that was my school. And when I moved
Speaker 2: to Cincinnati, I was stunned to meet people that didn't
Speaker 2: go to school with black people.
Speaker 5: I didn't know that that was the impossible.
Speaker 2: So to come down to a community that got that
Speaker 2: started to be more leaning towards an identity as opposed
Speaker 2: to a community was a little strange to me. And
Speaker 2: so I really got more involved in community itself. And
Speaker 2: I love this county. You know, I live in Fairfax.
Speaker 2: I love our little burg. It's very interesting little burg.
Speaker 2: In the regards that I always joke and somebody said,
Speaker 2: weren't you concerned about the riots? I said, no, they'd
Speaker 2: discover that we believe in the Second Amendment. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: don't see the riots in county either. Now the Fairfax
Speaker 2: is not going to have a ride anytime soon, just
Speaker 2: because of the reality. We firmly believe in the Second Amendment.
Speaker 2: But the reality is that, you know, I looked at
Speaker 2: it more from the community standpoint, and everything that I
Speaker 2: got involved in, I never worried about somebody's identity other
Speaker 2: than they identified as being part of the group.
Speaker 5: And I think that's true.
Speaker 2: When we look at the Commission's office, we look at
Speaker 2: it from the budget standpoint. We're not trying to pigeonhole
Speaker 2: something to one thing. You know, right now, they keep
Speaker 2: throwing money at this and say, see, we're giving money
Speaker 2: to help this person. We're giving me money to help
Speaker 2: this person, this group. Why aren't we helping somebody to
Speaker 2: actually stand up on their own two legs and move forward.
Speaker 5: It is the infamous.
Speaker 2: Give a man a fish, feed him for a day,
Speaker 2: teach him how to fish feed him for a lifetime,
Speaker 2: and he becomes one of those community leaders. Well, that's
Speaker 2: what our challenges in the county. People are tired of
Speaker 2: being given fish, so they're leaving. It's the same thing
Speaker 2: we're seeing at the Sheriff's department, And we've got to
Speaker 2: get people to be part of this community and get
Speaker 2: away from the identity of look at my individual You
Speaker 2: have to recognize my personal individual identity as opposed to
Speaker 2: a Hamiltonian County resident.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm in favor of merit. You know, the whole
Speaker 1: concept of equity is you don't have someone of a
Speaker 1: particular gender in the mix. Well, if there is someone
Speaker 1: of a particular gender out there who is both best
Speaker 1: qualified for the job, get that person out here and
Speaker 1: have them run for the race. Yeah, And that's the point.
Speaker 1: Color of skin doesn't matter, it's content of character. In
Speaker 1: this particular case, merit and ability to handle the affairs
Speaker 1: of Hamilton County on behalf of all Hamilton County residents.
Speaker 1: Simple concept. Yeah, that's it. We'll continue with Jonathan Pearson.

Speaker 1: Thomas enjoying my in studio conversation with Jonathan Pearson, who's
Speaker 1: running for county commissioner, saying wise, rational, thinking, human being.
Speaker 1: Amazing that someone like that is trying to enter politics.
Speaker 1: Doesn't care about identity politics because he knows it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter a whit at all. What are you going to
Speaker 1: do for the county? He related a story to me
Speaker 1: he met some guy who introduced himself as a gay man.
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm straight, and the guy got little bit offended,
Speaker 1: and you had an interesting back and forth with that,
Speaker 1: ultimately proving to the guy it does not matter. Now
Speaker 1: you haven't even told me your name yet. You said
Speaker 1: to the guy like, oh, my name's Bill, and you
Speaker 1: shake his hand, and it's like taking aback. And you know,
Speaker 1: there aren't enough people like you to kindly, not angrily,
Speaker 1: or just point something like that in a very friendly,
Speaker 1: subtle way.
Speaker 5: Oh I'm straight. Yeah, Well what does that matter? Exactly?
Speaker 5: That was your point.
Speaker 1: So anyhow, we do have one politician running for re
Speaker 1: election in the county that really starts every conversation with
Speaker 1: I'm a lesbian, doesn't matter. Are you doing the job
Speaker 1: effectively and you are? Are you a good manager of people?
Speaker 1: Are your people happy to be in your environment working
Speaker 1: with you? And I think across the board pretty much
Speaker 1: the answer is no. In certain departments. Beyond that, Jonathan,
Speaker 1: you mentioned the sewer system, we're still onder that federal
Speaker 1: consent to Creek. Correct. Let's talk about that a little bit,
Speaker 1: because I know it is what multi billion dollar project.
Speaker 1: Some projects like this deep tunnel they wanted to build,
Speaker 1: were so dumb and so outrageously expensive. We've been able
Speaker 1: to pair that back a little bit. But where's what's
Speaker 1: the status of this and what would Jonathan Pearson be
Speaker 1: doing relative to the sewer system.
Speaker 2: Well, the one thing that fascinates me about the sewer
Speaker 2: system is I do a lot of maintenance for people,
Speaker 2: So I clean out sewers, I'll do whatever, you know,
Speaker 2: and I take care of things. So I'm used to
Speaker 2: doing stuff that nobody sees. You know, your Pierson landscape,
Speaker 2: in my Pearson's landscape, and so what I see because
Speaker 2: I actually do maintenance within that company too, and so
Speaker 2: I do a lot of stuff that once it's all
Speaker 2: covered up, nobody saw what I did. And that's exactly
Speaker 2: what the sewer system is. So nobody's seeing it. So
Speaker 2: it's not like seeing the stadium redone, or a new
Speaker 2: convention center or an addition to the convention center. Yet
Speaker 2: it affects every one of us.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that suit.
Speaker 2: It affects every one of us in an enormous way
Speaker 2: because flush your toilet, there you go. You just there's
Speaker 2: a sewer system. Well, the challenge is who's actually checking
Speaker 2: to make sure that we're doing these things? If you
Speaker 2: go down to Fairmont, and.
Speaker 1: These things would be the solution of the problems that
Speaker 1: are designed to fix the overflows.
Speaker 2: And part of it was the rain sewer. The rain
Speaker 2: water and the regular sewer were mixed, and you know,
Speaker 2: and we have a like we did that just the
Speaker 2: other day. We had that massive water come through and
Speaker 2: you mix that with your regular sewer, your sewers can't
Speaker 2: handle that. And for some people in certain neighborhoods they
Speaker 2: discover that painfully, and you know, and you're not being
Speaker 2: backed up with nice clean water either. And for the
Speaker 2: longest time, the Metro Sewer's way of repairing that was here,
Speaker 2: here's a thousand bucks, get somebody to clean it up.
Speaker 2: And you know, it's still that went into your basement.
Speaker 2: Let's just think about that for a second. I know,
Speaker 2: you like my dog pooping in the house, so why
Speaker 2: would I want yours in my house?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Point and so the same thing. But I but this
Speaker 2: is where the FED stepped in and said, hey, you can't.
Speaker 2: That's not a fix, that's not even a solution, and
Speaker 2: so they said you have to do this. Well, this
Speaker 2: is the ready shoot aim mentality that we did with
Speaker 2: the stadium, we're doing with too many things, or did
Speaker 2: it with this and metro sewer the same thing got
Speaker 2: tagged across the river at st One. That's their comparable system,
Speaker 2: And so they have to segregate all these systems. Well,
Speaker 2: that's easier said than done. You've got a lot of
Speaker 2: buildings sitting on top of the sewer systems because it's
Speaker 2: not just as simple as digging up the street and
Speaker 2: putting in a new pipe. There are buildings in the way,
Speaker 2: there are streets in the way, there's infrastructure in the way.
Speaker 2: And Fairmont, as I mentioned before, if you use that
Speaker 2: as a great example, you go down there and is
Speaker 2: this nice little running creek for the mill creek and stuff.
Speaker 2: Well it might be nice, but to the residents that
Speaker 2: lost their homes, and businesses that lost their businesses, and
Speaker 2: the parking lots that are all missing, that's the effect
Speaker 2: of what happens when we start sticking homes all over
Speaker 2: the place without thinking of how to get rid of
Speaker 2: the water and waste.
Speaker 1: Well, and I suppose you know, somebody made the decision
Speaker 1: that those homes weren't worth saving, and that this project,
Speaker 1: this greener way of you know, filtering out the water
Speaker 1: and creating this nice park in an area that really
Speaker 1: was rather run down. I don't think any we can
Speaker 1: acknowledge that it was.
Speaker 2: It had its challenges, but you know, a challenge doesn't
Speaker 2: mean that isn't somebody's home, And I think sometimes we
Speaker 2: forget that part, and that's there are other ways to
Speaker 2: manage to the water without destroying whole neighborhoods. But when
Speaker 2: you start getting into the green movement and you want
Speaker 2: to put the green movement in something that even though
Speaker 2: it's practical draining off storm water, you don't need to
Speaker 2: have a big, old, super wide creek with a park
Speaker 2: sitting to the side. When you just took away Granny's
Speaker 2: home at a certain point, where does green stop?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 2: I always say that people say, well, yeah, but you know,
Speaker 2: with all this urban sprawl and all these different things,
Speaker 2: and then within the city we've got all this. I
Speaker 2: always laugh and I say, I blame it on God.
Speaker 2: He's the first one to make people have to move.
Speaker 2: He kicked him out of the garden. So you know,
Speaker 2: if we get over worried about having to build a
Speaker 2: new home and different things going on, that's just part
Speaker 2: of the human progress, you know, So don't be panicked
Speaker 2: by it, but we'll incorporate you know, what we're doing
Speaker 2: within that. And you know, I think that that's the
Speaker 2: great challenge that we're facing right now with the sewer
Speaker 2: project is people don't want it to happen in their neighborhood.
Speaker 2: So let's go down to this neighborhood and we'll make
Speaker 2: it green down here. Because I guarantee you that sewer
Speaker 2: project that that kind of a cut wouldn't occurred in
Speaker 2: the middle of Hyde Park.
Speaker 1: They also don't get a whole lot of Section eight
Speaker 1: housing being so well.
Speaker 5: The connected community is trying to change that. Oh I know,
Speaker 5: let's plaus is.
Speaker 1: We're out of time. We got a lot more to
Speaker 1: talk about it, including the stadium deal. More with Jonathan Pierce,
Speaker 1: so you can find him online. Go to Hamilton County

Speaker 9: with the right lanes blocked off. Just before you got
Speaker 9: the twelfth street. Chuck Ingram on fifty five kr SE
Speaker 9: the talk station.
Speaker 4: Thre one.
Speaker 1: You're a fifty five k city talk station. Brian Thomas
Speaker 1: with a race for County commissioner that's running way low
Speaker 1: under Riverty's raid arm. But I have one of the
Speaker 1: candidates in studio here endorsed by the Hamilton Kunty Republican Party,
Speaker 1: Jonathan Pearson. You are endorsed by the Republican Party. You're
Speaker 1: on the right site.
Speaker 5: Yes, I am. I am endorsed. No, it's official.
Speaker 1: Take it for granted. No, he's right there. You can
Speaker 1: find out where he is on the various issues. Of course,
Speaker 1: his background and he's got some you know, business experience.
Speaker 1: He is the owner operator Pearson's Turfin Landscaping. We were
Speaker 1: talking about that, been doing that since nineteen ninety two
Speaker 1: and moving away. So we talked about the sewer and
Speaker 1: before we move away from the sewer. Just generally speaking,
Speaker 1: that's one of the areas where I know we have
Speaker 1: a consent degree. I know there have been some really
Speaker 1: big arguments about certain projects, like for example, I mentioned
Speaker 1: the deep tunnel thing, which I think got nixed because
Speaker 1: of the outcry and.
Speaker 9: The seemingly stupid, stupid nature. It's not that simple to
Speaker 9: dig a tunnel, No, it is not. People think you
Speaker 9: just for a hole through use No, no, no, it's
Speaker 9: not that stid.
Speaker 1: So are you aware of does anybody know what other
Speaker 1: projects are already baked into the cake?
Speaker 6: Right now?
Speaker 1: We're going to see more projects like you mentioned in Fairmont?
Speaker 1: Is there a better way to do it?
Speaker 2: To the details? I don't actually know all the firm
Speaker 2: details of them. That's one of the things I'd like
Speaker 2: to sit down with and actually see the actual plan
Speaker 2: as to where things are, because.
Speaker 1: The back your initial comment we started.
Speaker 6: Just go through it.
Speaker 2: And then the biggest thing is if you can keep
Speaker 2: the actual plan on task and those who are in
Speaker 2: the supervisory rules of running it, you know, daily reports,
Speaker 2: not this we'll sit down every two weeks because I
Speaker 2: think if you hold it to a daily event, because
Speaker 2: the county runs daily yea, I mean there's a shocker
Speaker 2: to some people it actually runs daily. And if you
Speaker 2: look keep that on task and then go to the
Speaker 2: subcontractors and actually know who they are and you know,
Speaker 2: are they capable or was it again a you know
Speaker 2: A yeah, you know, we get into and these are
Speaker 2: examples of these projects.
Speaker 4: We do it.
Speaker 2: We want to do it for the stateium want to
Speaker 2: do it for the convention center. We get so caught
Speaker 2: up and making sure that we do inclusion, that it
Speaker 2: didn't occur to us.
Speaker 5: Can they do it?
Speaker 2: The going back and is it equity or is it competentcy?
Speaker 2: And a lot of people say, oh, you're anti inclusion. No,
Speaker 2: I'm for who's ever the best guy walked up and
Speaker 2: said I can do that job. If his company is
Speaker 2: all whatever, I don't care. I don't care if it's
Speaker 2: they're waving their flag of look at me where the
Speaker 2: Jewish gay group?
Speaker 5: Fine, I don't care. Can you do the job?
Speaker 1: Can you fix it?
Speaker 2: And so again, the identity stops at the door once
Speaker 2: you go through and you have to actually do the job.
Speaker 1: Can you?
Speaker 2: And I think that that's one of the challenges we face.
Speaker 2: We get so caught up spending all this time making
Speaker 2: sure we get all that taken care of. These projects
Speaker 2: get waylaid because between the community here and between the
Speaker 2: state in between the feds, they all say you have
Speaker 2: to have ex percentage of this, EX percentage of that,
Speaker 2: EX percentage of this, without occurring that if we haven't
Speaker 2: helped these particular groups, like we got rid of vocational
Speaker 2: schools here, there's a thought, hey, let's help people that
Speaker 2: don't have a desire to go to college to actually
Speaker 2: have a vocation. Huh, there's hell naive. My brother went
Speaker 2: through a vocational school. He was a mechanic, he was phenomenal.
Speaker 2: You know what, if you'd have kept him in a
Speaker 2: four year high school, he'd.
Speaker 5: Never have achieved. No, Yeah, it's colleging for us.
Speaker 2: And I had a lot of friends went through vocational schools,
Speaker 2: God bless them, and there was a great thing. And
Speaker 2: now we're kind of like, well, yes, but little Johnny,
Speaker 2: little Susie's got to get that college degree so she
Speaker 2: can go out and be you know, she can get
Speaker 2: that great degree in political science and do what.
Speaker 5: Well, guess what, I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't make fun of that degree. That's the one
Speaker 1: I got. But I knew I was going to go.
Speaker 2: I didn't go to I'm running for an office. And
Speaker 2: I didn't get a pulit science degree because you.
Speaker 1: Don't need one. Trust you don't got what And no,
Speaker 1: you don't if you're a fan of politics like I was,
Speaker 1: and you want to get a degree in your hobby
Speaker 1: like I did. But I know I was going to
Speaker 1: go to law school. See, I didn't expect my political
Speaker 1: science degree to be the source of revenue down the road.
Speaker 1: I expected my law degree would serve me well, and
Speaker 1: it did obviously shifted directions. But you know, there is
Speaker 1: a demand in certain areas for lawyers, but there's not
Speaker 1: just for political science degrees.
Speaker 5: So that's that's my whole thing.
Speaker 2: And when we get so caught into this that we're
Speaker 2: so worried about identity that we forgot of helping somebody
Speaker 2: actually make a living back to teach a man to fish. Yes,
Speaker 2: and so that's been what's slowing many of these projects
Speaker 2: up well.
Speaker 1: And the explanation point on slowing these things up is obviously,
Speaker 1: the more you kick the can down the road chasing
Speaker 1: what butterflies or whatever, more expensive the project gets. Inflation
Speaker 1: is a topic of conversational late and yes it does
Speaker 1: impact construction more with hones. Just give me a second here,
Speaker 1: because I'm going to steer you in the right direction
Speaker 1: by telling you to go to Foreign Exchange get your
Speaker 1: imported car fixed. Austin is the man, and he's got
Speaker 1: a great team of AC certified Master technicians at that
Speaker 1: Westchester location, which is the one I've always gone to.
Speaker 1: Outstanding service family like environment and fixing your car with
Speaker 1: a full warranty on parts and service and not costing
Speaker 1: nearly as much as the dealer saved all kinds of
Speaker 1: money taking the cars to Foreign Exchange, So you should
Speaker 1: do the same thing because they do have access to
Speaker 1: your manufacturers technical information, saying Brian, you don't even know
Speaker 1: what kind of car I drive. I know I've seen
Speaker 1: really exotic cars in there and have also well, my Honda.
Speaker 1: I've been self deprecating that Honda looks terrible. It's got
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty thousand plus miles on it, but
Speaker 1: it still runs great thanks to Foreign Exchange. No need
Speaker 1: to get rid of it. Just keep it running and
Speaker 1: think about winter time. Get your car winnerise, have them
Speaker 1: check the battery, the tires, the fluid levels. Don't get
Speaker 1: stuck in the frozen tundra parking lot because you didn't
Speaker 1: have the battery checked out. They can do that for you. Also,
Speaker 1: make sure you know you have brakes, are in good shape.
Speaker 6: You know what it is.
Speaker 1: Just get ready for winter. You can do that at
Speaker 1: four in Exchange Foreign The letter X dot com is
Speaker 1: where you find them online. Tylersville exit off seventy five
Speaker 1: is to get to the Westchester location. Just go two
Speaker 1: streets each off of the on ramp to Tylersville or
Speaker 1: off ramp from seventy five, as the case may be.
Speaker 1: Hang a right on Kingland Drive and you're there. Five

Speaker 9: eight in Milford, king Ramont fifty five krs the talk station.
Speaker 1: Five KRCD talk station Brian time of spending an entire
Speaker 1: hour in studio with Jonathan Pearson, running for Hampton County
Speaker 1: Commission endorsed by the Republican Party. And I thought, a
Speaker 1: very thoughtful man. I guess you were getting the impressed
Speaker 1: you've been listening to Jonathan speak over the hour, you know,
Speaker 1: being thoughtful by going through the various documents page by page,
Speaker 1: looking at more thoughtful solutions, say for the sewer project,
Speaker 1: maybe ignoring and avoiding the stupidity of woke politics. And
Speaker 1: let's just cut to the chase and hire bottom line competent,
Speaker 1: capable people to do the job. And that's a great idea.
Speaker 1: What interesting concept that content of character, not color of
Speaker 1: skin or who you sleep with? Can you do the
Speaker 1: job now? Jonathan, though, let's move over to the stadium.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but one point?
Speaker 8: Was it?
Speaker 1: Three billion?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: That's with a B.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, you know, Mike's got to have a nice
Speaker 5: luxury office now.
Speaker 1: One three hundred stacks of a million dollars.
Speaker 2: You know, I, as I tell people, I said, think
Speaker 2: about this, that's the budget for the county, the.
Speaker 1: Entire budget for the entire county for a full calendar year.
Speaker 2: So for one project, for one company that they make,
Speaker 2: that company makes money. Let's remember the NFL does revenue
Speaker 2: sharing unlike the Major League Baseball, So that means if
Speaker 2: you watch a San Diego game, the Bengals make money. Right,
Speaker 2: So not that San Diego is playing the Bengals. The
Speaker 2: Browns family is not standing at the free store. So
Speaker 2: the reality is that I tell people, think about this.
Speaker 2: You you take, you go home to your wife and
Speaker 2: you say, honey, we're going to spend the entire year's
Speaker 2: budget of everything we make on one project.
Speaker 5: How do you think that conversation is going to go
Speaker 5: with your wife?
Speaker 1: Well, particularly if the project is really what I would
Speaker 1: argue completely unnecessary question. Does the stadium currently function? Yes?
Speaker 1: Can you watch a football game there? Yes? Does it
Speaker 1: have all the amenities of every other stadium in the country. No,
Speaker 1: But you know what it never did? And how can
Speaker 1: you continue to compete with other cities when they keep
Speaker 1: adding on? Is it a necessary thing to try to
Speaker 1: compete with the city that hasn't even close to us?
Speaker 1: Why would you? I mean, Lord Almighty I look at
Speaker 1: like certain high school projects and what they've done at colleges,
Speaker 1: and they expanded to make it like a resort spat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't have any of that growing up. I went
Speaker 1: to school and I had classes in a trailer for
Speaker 1: God's sake, because they ran out of space. At Dhigh
Speaker 1: Junior High. You know, we didn't have air conditioning back
Speaker 1: in the old days. We had crappy locker rooms. And
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure the Bengals if they had all
Speaker 1: they need is a locker to put their stuff in
Speaker 1: to change clothes and get out there on the field.
Speaker 1: Do they need a discothech locker room. Of course not,
Speaker 1: but there it is anyway. Well, I just I don't
Speaker 1: get it.
Speaker 2: I come from we homeschooled our girls, So I homeschooled
Speaker 2: my girls at home, and I use that example because
Speaker 2: all the new schools have to have these billion dollar schools,
Speaker 2: they have to have all the newest stuff, the whiteboards
Speaker 2: and everything. Well, my kids went to college being homeschooled,
Speaker 2: and somehow we lived on the premise that if you
Speaker 2: have four walls and a door, you can have a classroom. Well,
Speaker 2: the same simplicity in my brain, this isn't a hatred
Speaker 2: towards the Bengals. But here I'll use the P and
Speaker 2: G as an example. P ANDNG brings in more money
Speaker 2: than the Bengals because they don't play just ten times
Speaker 2: a year in this stadium. They play every day downtown
Speaker 2: and they have never been given one brick by the county.
Speaker 2: Now I'm not saying that, gee, we need to kick
Speaker 2: them out. What I'm saying is is this really the
Speaker 2: best use of our money? And I know a lot
Speaker 2: of people say we shouldn't ask that question because it's
Speaker 2: our beloved Bengals. I think that's been the problem in politics,
Speaker 2: is we get all caught with the shiny ring on
Speaker 2: the wall and we keep running around the carousel trying
Speaker 2: to grab it, and we forget to actually say, why
Speaker 2: are we trying to grab the brass ring?
Speaker 5: And I'm starting to question that. What's you know?
Speaker 2: Because La goes out and spends five and a half
Speaker 2: billion dollars to dig a hole next to their airport
Speaker 2: so they can put a stadium in the ground and
Speaker 2: hide it so the planes you don't notice the planes
Speaker 2: flying over it, and everyone goes We'll see they're spent
Speaker 2: five and a that's LA. I don't care what they
Speaker 2: do in LA. I don't care what they do in California.
Speaker 2: I care what we do in Hamilton County. And Hamilton
Speaker 2: County does not have that kind of money to throw
Speaker 2: at one company that had the wherewithal in money to
Speaker 2: buy out in cash the other half of the Bengals
Speaker 2: from Paul Sawyer. We forget that there was a lot
Speaker 2: of cash on the table that he actually bought the
Speaker 2: team outright. I God bless the Brown family for only Bengals.
Speaker 2: I have no issues with that whatsoever. And I actually
Speaker 2: don't even have an issue that the Brown family asked
Speaker 2: for us to do this, because you might as.
Speaker 5: Well ask what you know. You know, it's like all
Speaker 5: of us who are married.
Speaker 1: Remember though, Jonathan, the ask came along with either an
Speaker 1: out loud or at least implicit threat that if you
Speaker 1: don't get me what I want, I'm taking my team elsewhere.
Speaker 1: And that's not loyalty to me.
Speaker 2: And that's not loyalty to me and mine is that
Speaker 2: When again, back to P ANDNG, P and G wanted
Speaker 2: to put bricks in Broadway in front of their on Broadway,
Speaker 2: in front of their towers, and they offered to buy
Speaker 2: all the bricks, all the materials for the city, and
Speaker 2: the city said, we're not putting them down.
Speaker 5: We're just not. We pave it or we don't.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: And P and G said, fine, we'll do it. And
Speaker 2: the PNG paid out of their pocket to do a
Speaker 2: public street project. Well, let me think about which company
Speaker 2: has more in tune to saying I'm serving. They didn't
Speaker 2: threaten to leave. Oh, you're not giving me anything, so
Speaker 2: I'm gonna leave. We're gonna go move to some other
Speaker 2: We're gonna move to Mexico City. Well, I think Mexico City.
Speaker 2: I never even understood that. Has anybody actually mentioned in
Speaker 2: the odds of Americans being kidnapped or held for ransom?
Speaker 2: Let me think, let's put a millionaire family from America
Speaker 2: in Mexico City and see how safe without having a
Speaker 2: ridiculous security team to keep around them.
Speaker 1: Well, they are trying to expand the market share around
Speaker 1: the globe. Maybe they should have said the you know,
Speaker 1: Xingyang province in China is a possible.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just my whole thing is, you know, let's rethink
Speaker 2: this and actually ask the question without the fear and
Speaker 2: you know they've got to back down the rhetoric from
Speaker 2: their side.
Speaker 5: We have to actually up our ability to actually look.
Speaker 2: At this with open eyes, full transparency and say what's
Speaker 2: the real goal here.
Speaker 1: Adam Kaylor suggested, we need to get a cooperative a
Speaker 1: group of a whole group of people who are willing
Speaker 1: to put some money in to act as a potential
Speaker 1: buyer of the team, which I believe I'm some roadbox
Speaker 1: in the way of the Brown family threatening to leave.
Speaker 1: If there's another possible buyer, then apparently, somehow under the rules,
Speaker 1: that can't be done. I don't profess the note Jack.
Speaker 5: I don't know the the NFL rules on that.
Speaker 1: NFL rules right seven eight, But you five kres de

Speaker 9: Chuck Ingram on fifty five krs even he talked station.
Speaker 1: Seven fifty two, fifty five Krcity Talk station. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give Jonathan a couple of minutes to do a closing
Speaker 1: statement here in a moment, but first let us catch
Speaker 1: ourselves a crime stopper, bad guy of the week, and
Speaker 1: today it's not a bad guy, it's a bad girl.
Speaker 1: She looks harmless. Officer Lisa Baker from the sincea police department,
Speaker 1: look at that innocent little face.
Speaker 14: Not so can be deceiving yaiving. We are looking for
Speaker 14: Nakisha Greer. She's been indicted on three counts of felony
Speaker 14: theft and for telecommunications fraud Nakeisha Greer. She's a black female.
Speaker 14: She's twenty seven years old. She's five foot two, one
Speaker 14: hundred and sixty five pounds. Prior rest history includes drug
Speaker 14: abuse and receiving stolen motor vehicle. Lasting on to live
Speaker 14: on South Wayne Avenue in Lachland.
Speaker 1: Well looks start deceiving anyway, moving aside, What are we
Speaker 1: gonna do if we know where we might how where
Speaker 1: she might be or a tip that might lead to
Speaker 1: an arrest.
Speaker 14: If you know where Nakeisha Greer is, give crime Stoppers
Speaker 14: a call five to one three three five two forty,
Speaker 14: or you can submit a tip online crime dash stoppers
Speaker 14: dot us.
Speaker 1: You can check AMUK shot out on my blog page
Speaker 1: fifty five Cassey dot com. You remain anonymous, you'll be
Speaker 1: eligible for a cash reward. Officer Baker, God bless you
Speaker 1: in the Sinsint Police Department. Keep up the great work
Speaker 1: and I have a wonderful weekend. All right, Jonathan, I'll
Speaker 1: give you the remaining couple of minutes we got here.
Speaker 1: Anything else you want to get out, I didn't if
Speaker 1: I didn't steer you in the right direction or get
Speaker 1: on a topic you want to talk about well, I
Speaker 1: think the easiest.
Speaker 2: You know, the whole reason that I look at what
Speaker 2: we can do in the county is, you know, let's
Speaker 2: look at this budget. See what we're wasting money on.
Speaker 2: See we're you know, not wasting money on. See what
Speaker 2: we need to be.
Speaker 5: Spending more prioritized.
Speaker 2: But since we can't affect the taxes directly in the
Speaker 2: commission office, we can affect the budget and then do
Speaker 2: the bully pulpit and talk about the taxes because once
Speaker 2: other businesses know we're serious about a good bucket budget
Speaker 2: in this county, they might be attracted. Well, there's a thought,
Speaker 2: let's bring businesses back. Guess what those businesses bring with
Speaker 2: them jobs, So back to the we can help the
Speaker 2: man fish forever. We also then get other companies. Look
Speaker 2: into that company that come in, they come in. These
Speaker 2: are residents now that start coming in. And suddenly, now
Speaker 2: our tax base is expanded to numbers. We can have
Speaker 2: a lower tax base but actually make more money for
Speaker 2: the county and the surrounding communities within the county, and
Speaker 2: we don't need to keep raising taxes or have these
Speaker 2: ridiculously false evaluations of homes.
Speaker 1: Well, if we had appropriately prioritized over the years and
Speaker 1: focused on the core that brings people in, which is
Speaker 1: infrastructure and safety. Infrastructure and safety, if you have a
Speaker 1: safe community with a good infrastructure, roads you can drive on,
Speaker 1: and not the multitude of potholes, et cetera, the seemingly
Speaker 1: absolute dysfunction on that. That creates an opportunity for people
Speaker 1: to consider and say, you know what, maybe I will
Speaker 1: be paying a little bit more taxes in Milmilton County
Speaker 1: compared to Claremont, but look at all that I'm going
Speaker 1: to get in return for that. I have solid roads,
Speaker 1: i have safe communities in Hamilton County. I'd rather have that.
Speaker 2: Then they have a good opportunity with Melissa Powers and
Speaker 2: Jim Neil, the excellent opportunity to make exactly that first
Speaker 2: point to save community with those two two candidates.
Speaker 5: They are excellent people.
Speaker 1: And if you are an elected commissioner, along with Adam Kayler,
Speaker 1: maybe a more thoughtful budget process, one that focuses on
Speaker 1: priorities seven to fifty five. Jonathan, You're always welcome here.
Speaker 1: Good luck in the race. I know we're fast approaching
Speaker 1: election day, but again, Jonathan Pearson, find him on the

Speaker 1: are tough on crime. You are demonstrably so let me
Speaker 1: just point out to my listeners.
Speaker 4: I love this.
Speaker 1: I hate hate child abuse. I think that's probably the
Speaker 1: most horrific crime that can be committed, is abusing an
Speaker 1: innocent child who usually is very trusting of some adult.
Speaker 1: You deal with that all the time. You received the
Speaker 1: Outstanding Service Award from the Cincinnia Children's Hospital Mayorson Center
Speaker 1: in honor of Child Abuse Awareness Month. And also, and
Speaker 1: I love this award apparently from the Hamilt County Prosecutor's
Speaker 1: Office the kick Ass Prosecutor of the Year twenty twenty
Speaker 1: three award as well. Well done there in terms of
Speaker 1: looking out for children.
Speaker 15: Thank you. I got those awards last year because myself
Speaker 15: and my co counsel Ernest Lee and Rich Snider and
Speaker 15: had a case involving John and Kate Snyder, who are
Speaker 15: a couple from Springfield Township who adopted six children from China.
Speaker 15: They abused all their children, They even had a biological child.
Speaker 15: They had three biological children too, and one of them
Speaker 15: they abused as well, and of the six kids from China,
Speaker 15: one diet of natural causes the first, and then the
Speaker 15: rest of them they abused and one of them they
Speaker 15: actually killed. So last year, actually at this very time
Speaker 15: last year, were in a we were in this trial
Speaker 15: lasted six weeks and we got a conviction which was terrific.
Speaker 15: And now Kate Snyder's doing thirty one years to life
Speaker 15: and John Pyers doing twenty nine years to life for
Speaker 15: killing their son Adam and abusing their other children. And
Speaker 15: because of our work with Children's Hospital and this case,
Speaker 15: that's why we got those awards.
Speaker 11: I got those wars last year, and I'm very.
Speaker 6: Proud of that.
Speaker 1: Well I would be too. I mean, a demonstrably tough
Speaker 1: on crime and apparently you're in front of a judge
Speaker 1: that at least had the wherewithal of sentence into some
Speaker 1: serious time.
Speaker 15: Yes, we were very thankful for that. It was a
Speaker 15: hard fought battle. These people fought us tooth and nail.
Speaker 15: At one point, the couple even tried to sue the
Speaker 15: coroner's office to get the cause of death change because
Speaker 15: they wanted to they wanted to say Children's Hospital was
Speaker 15: at fault.
Speaker 11: It was a long heart.
Speaker 5: Hollard fought battle well.
Speaker 1: To my listeners, you might not understand the distinction. As
Speaker 1: a common please judge versus working in the appellate level.
Speaker 1: You're going to be dealing with both criminal and civil matters.
Speaker 15: Correct, correct, Criminal Civil. I will handle cases from municipal court,
Speaker 15: common please Court, the domestic Relations Court, and juvenile court.
Speaker 15: You here, it's a reviewing court. So anything any hearing
Speaker 15: that goes on in any of those courts, if someone
Speaker 15: wants to appeal it, it goes to our Court of Appeals.
Speaker 1: And why do you view the role of judge. I
Speaker 1: know we have activist judges, which I am not a
Speaker 1: fan of, and we have more traditionalist judges who review
Speaker 1: the facts and the case law and judge things accordingly
Speaker 1: based upon the law. They do not rewrite laws. If
Speaker 1: there are flaws or constitutional issues in connection with the law,
Speaker 1: it's identified and it's basically referred back to the legislative
Speaker 1: brands to do the fixing. That's the way things are
Speaker 1: supposed to work, at least in my mind. What's your perception.
Speaker 15: I feel like the reason why I am personally running
Speaker 15: for judge is we've had all these judges who go
Speaker 15: about they want to change the law. I am going
Speaker 15: to follow the law. I'm going to follow the constitution
Speaker 15: of the State of Ohio and the United States, and I.
Speaker 11: Don't I don't want.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 15: The reason why I ran is that that case that
Speaker 15: I got all those awards for, I was scared that
Speaker 15: it was going to go up to our Court of
Speaker 15: Appeals and be reversed. Oh and I didn't want to
Speaker 15: see that happen.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Oh no, no, no, I was just going
Speaker 1: to say, I mean, what possible grounds could it have
Speaker 1: been reversed if you didn't have an appropriate makeup on
Speaker 1: the appellate court.
Speaker 5: Well, prior to.
Speaker 15: My trial going forward last year, there was a trial
Speaker 15: murder case that went through that one of the judges
Speaker 15: up in common and please just decided to reverse it
Speaker 15: because he decided the jurors didn't make the right decision.
Speaker 15: And I don't know how he can make that determination.
Speaker 15: He didn't see the witnesses testify, right, He didn't get
Speaker 15: to go to the scene like the jurors got to do.
Speaker 15: He didn't get to hold the evidence in his hand.
Speaker 15: He didn't hear the tone of the voices of the
Speaker 15: witnesses who were testifying was a one dimensional item was
Speaker 15: a transcript. I know myself and the job that I
Speaker 15: do as a cross gear, which I've been doing for
Speaker 15: almost twenty years now. You know, we get interviews of
Speaker 15: time and we get him transcribed, and reading the transcript
Speaker 15: is a lot quicker than listening to him. But listening
Speaker 15: to him you seem body language, You see the tone
Speaker 15: in their voice, and that goes to their credibility. And
Speaker 15: if you don't watch those items, and if you just
Speaker 15: go from a one dimensional transcript, I don't know how
Speaker 15: you can determine that twelve people that witnessed all these
Speaker 15: people testify made the wrong decision.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you have to have respect for the jurors. That's
Speaker 5: exactly what they're there for.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: I was on a criminal well yeah, criminal trial. Guy
Speaker 1: pressed charges against guy. It was basically he said, she
Speaker 1: said kind of thing. But it came down to witness credibility.
Speaker 1: The guy that was loving the charges claimed he got
Speaker 1: assaulted and assaulted. And after hearing him speak and what
Speaker 1: his recitation and events were, and then hearing from the
Speaker 1: other guy, it was obvious who was lying. We all
Speaker 1: walked into the jury room. I said, is there anybody
Speaker 1: who here who doesn't have reasonable doubt. And everybody looked
Speaker 1: at me and said nope. I said, we're done. We
Speaker 1: deliberated like a minute. I mean, that's what the jury does.
Speaker 1: And how a judge could could overrule that and without
Speaker 1: seeing the witnesses or hearing them is beyond me. But
Speaker 1: isn't there a legal standard for the review of evidence
Speaker 1: on appellate level?
Speaker 15: Yes, there is, but they also you know, we have
Speaker 15: activists judges upstairs, and if they're they're kind of I
Speaker 15: want to say. When I first started working down here
Speaker 15: in two thousand and one, I worked for a judge
Speaker 15: and when the prosecutors came in the room, they were
Speaker 15: well respected by the court. We are not well respected
Speaker 15: by the court anymore. We walk into the courtroom and
Speaker 15: they are automatically think we've done something wrong, we haven't
Speaker 15: provided something without even knowing, and so we go up
Speaker 15: when our cases go upstairs, it's all we already have
Speaker 15: a mark against us before they even read anything. And
Speaker 15: a lot of those judges haven't been trial court prosecutors
Speaker 15: or attorneys. They've just been like one was a clerk
Speaker 15: over or a law clerk for one of the judges.
Speaker 15: They haven't tried cases. They haven't heard cases actually being tried.
Speaker 15: They just hear argument, So they have a different perspective
Speaker 15: than someone like myself who's spent twenty years in the courtroom.
Speaker 1: Over twenty years in the courtroom, right, Yeah, we seem
Speaker 1: to have a lot of that going on with the
Speaker 1: prosecutor's race right now here in Hamilton County. Allow me
Speaker 1: to interject Melissa Powers for Hamilton County Prosecute. We need
Speaker 1: to keep her in that role because she's tough on
Speaker 1: crime as well. Well, yes, I guess for those so
Speaker 1: many people just maybe either don't vote down ballot or
Speaker 1: they'll simply vote party ticket. And in connection with someone
Speaker 1: who's literally never tried a case or done nothing beyond
Speaker 1: being a legal a law clerk for someone else, how
Speaker 1: that person could get elected is really to me, having
Speaker 1: practiced law and been in courtrooms for sixteen years, you
Speaker 1: know that's really important. I could never cast a vote
Speaker 1: for someone with that little experience, especially on an appellate level.
Speaker 1: That's the problem with you know, the endorsement and us
Speaker 1: being in Hamilton County blue. If if she's on or
Speaker 1: he is on the blue ticket, some one will just
Speaker 1: vote because of that and nothing else.
Speaker 15: Right. We Actually I've been spending some time down at
Speaker 15: the Board of Elections at the polls. You know, now
Speaker 15: that early voting has started, people just I stand there.
Speaker 15: I will say that there are a lot more people
Speaker 15: coming over and wanting the pink sheet, which is fabulous
Speaker 15: and I'm thankful for that.
Speaker 3: But you're right, people do just go get the blue sheet.
Speaker 15: And they vote straight down that ticket, and they don't
Speaker 15: know who they're voting for. I think you need to
Speaker 15: ask people who are in the court system, not not
Speaker 15: like someone handing out a blue sheet.
Speaker 6: Call it.
Speaker 15: If you know people who practice law in the court system,
Speaker 15: ask them, get their recommendations.
Speaker 5: They'll know who to vote for.
Speaker 1: That's very important. I mean, well, right, it may be
Speaker 1: a little problematic. I know how little people care about
Speaker 1: politics generally speaking, and then to dive into an area
Speaker 1: where they have no experience and hopefully will have no
Speaker 1: experience ever the judicial system. You know, getting folks to
Speaker 1: ask questions on these downballot rates can be problematic, but
Speaker 1: you do. You are on the pink slip, are endorsed
Speaker 1: by the Republican Party, and I know for my listeners
Speaker 1: that probably will be enough. But I will encourage folks
Speaker 1: to go to Lufton for Judge dot com and check
Speaker 1: out your credentials as well. I mean, really a great
Speaker 1: background qualified to do the job.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 15: And on my website left and for Judge dot com
Speaker 15: there are I linked some of my cases that I've
Speaker 15: had in the past.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I had.
Speaker 15: You talked about my Snyder case. There was also I
Speaker 15: had a case last year as well, a man named
Speaker 15: Diland Hurt who was a known killer.
Speaker 1: He had killed a lot of people.
Speaker 15: They hadn't been able to have enough evidence to go
Speaker 15: forward on him. Last year we were able to try
Speaker 15: him and he is as he's doing life without the
Speaker 15: possibility of parole now because of his killing of one
Speaker 15: person and attempted murder on two others. Actually one of
Speaker 15: the other people. He's paralyzed for life. And that case
Speaker 15: was crazy. We tried it.
Speaker 2: It was a little over a week.
Speaker 15: He acted out in court. He punched his attorney. At
Speaker 15: one point. He had tried to have drugs smuggled in
Speaker 15: through pants because he peede himself during trial and he
Speaker 15: had to get a new set of pants, and his
Speaker 15: family brought pants in and there were drugs stown into it.
Speaker 15: I mean the things that I have seen in the
Speaker 15: past year, and the hard fought battles I had last
Speaker 15: year with these really bad people is what drove me
Speaker 15: to decide to run profit.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you are running, and I'm glad to
Speaker 1: have you on the program, and I will strongly encourage
Speaker 1: my listeners do some research. I mean, as far as
Speaker 1: I'm concerned, go ahead and trust the pink slip, as
Speaker 1: I have just got done saying people will just trust
Speaker 1: the blue slip and vote for the Democrat. You are
Speaker 1: voting for someone who is undoubtedly woke and someone who
Speaker 1: is not going to be tough on crime. If you
Speaker 1: do that. If you want traditional judge, you want someone
Speaker 1: who understands the practice. You want someone who is not
Speaker 1: going to try to rewrite laws or do something crazy
Speaker 1: like dismiss Jersey. Evaluation of the evidence and witness testimony.
Speaker 1: You know you're in the right hands with states left
Speaker 1: in here. Can I just point out one more thing
Speaker 1: about your background, because it took me way back. Your
Speaker 1: family owns Provident camera.
Speaker 15: Yes, my family owned Providence Came. That was my first
Speaker 15: job was working. I used to go down on Saturday
Speaker 15: mornings with my dad and I would help out in
Speaker 15: the store and for my work, I would get twenty
Speaker 15: dollars for the day, which I thought was very exciting
Speaker 15: when I was younger.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I used I'd love going in there. That
Speaker 1: was the best camera store around forever. And you know,
Speaker 1: it's just weird to see with digital photography the way
Speaker 1: things have changed. I'm sorry to take you down that road,
Speaker 1: but I had a little wisp of nostalgia when I
Speaker 1: saw that, because I had an olympus om one when
Speaker 1: I was in junior high school and I used to
Speaker 1: stare longingly at you know, telephoto lenses and auto winder
Speaker 1: stuff I could never have afforded, but it was always
Speaker 1: right there. It was drool candy for me when I
Speaker 1: was a young man. Anyway, Stacey left in vote for
Speaker 1: her appellate court. It's right there at lefton ll left
Speaker 1: on for Judge dot Com. I wish you all the
Speaker 1: best as we fast approached the election.
Speaker 15: Stacey, thank you so much.

Speaker 1: Author of his first book, which we're talking about today,
Speaker 1: Land Rich, Cash Poor, My Family's Hope and the Untold
Speaker 1: History of the Disappearing American Farmer, author Brian Reisinger. But
Speaker 1: he's more than an author. He's got a background that's
Speaker 1: rather impressed. Who grew up on a family farm in
Speaker 1: Salt County, Wisconsin. And of course this is what the
Speaker 1: book is premised on. Columnists consultant. He's worked with his
Speaker 1: father from the time he could walk and before entering
Speaker 1: the world of business, journalism and public policy. If you
Speaker 1: see where he has been published, if I had read
Speaker 1: the list off of all the outlets like Usay Today
Speaker 1: and Yahoo News and the newspapers, that would spend the
Speaker 1: entire time up with that. But he's well published, and
Speaker 1: again his first book, Welcome to the Morning Show. It's
Speaker 1: a real pleasure to have you on today, Brian Reisinger.
Speaker 3: Hey, good morning, Thanks for having me. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your background, so I do come from a farming background,
Speaker 1: not me. I did not farm, but I laid witness
Speaker 1: to I have uncles that had farms on my father's
Speaker 1: side of the family, and my wife is the daughter
Speaker 1: of a dairy farmer from a little town called Avella, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: He's departed, but he worked his butt off, and I
Speaker 1: bet you have some understanding of what kind of work
Speaker 1: it takes to run a dairy farm.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Truely, those are some good roots you've got. I appreciate
Speaker 3: hearing about that. You know, it is a beautiful way
Speaker 3: of life. It's a difficult way of life, and we
Speaker 3: take it all as it comes.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 3: The best example I have, we talk about this in
Speaker 3: the book. My dad was inducted in the family business
Speaker 3: at the tender age of eight. Yeah, when my grandpa
Speaker 3: is climbing on a corn crib and slipped off till
Speaker 3: thirty feet and broke his back on the frozen ground.
Speaker 3: And my grandpa ultimately got back up on his feet.
Speaker 3: But my dad started doing the work of a man
Speaker 3: at eight years old, and he loved it. He loved
Speaker 3: the calves and the clean country air when he was
Speaker 3: a kid, and he had never stopped. In fact, I
Speaker 3: was talking him this morning. He's getting ready to harvest
Speaker 3: corn a little bit later today. And you know, it
Speaker 3: just shows what farm families go through, the kind of
Speaker 3: resilience they have, and the difficulty of life, but the
Speaker 3: beauty of the way of life, because it gets down
Speaker 3: in your blood and your bones and you come.
Speaker 1: To love it too well. And if you didn't have
Speaker 1: that childhood experience, I can't imagine a young person these
Speaker 1: days grows up in the comfortable suburbs playing video games
Speaker 1: all day ever entering the world of farming and taking
Speaker 1: on that commitment because once they you know, stare the real,
Speaker 1: legitimate hard work that you have to do literally every
Speaker 1: day in the face, recognizing that if you don't do
Speaker 1: the hard work, you're going to starve. Uh, No one's
Speaker 1: going to go down that road. This is a generation
Speaker 1: after generation matter of pride more than an economic boon.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're absolutely right. I mean it has such a
Speaker 3: big impact on so many issues in our country. You know,
Speaker 3: our food prices, our food availability, but it's also part
Speaker 3: of who we are are in such a big way.
Speaker 3: I'm grateful to have grown up there. And you're right,
Speaker 3: it's so difficult and there's a lot of hard work.
Speaker 3: You work and sun up to sun down. You learn
Speaker 3: a lot of good values along the way, and you
Speaker 3: also get a lot of incredible experiences, you know. I
Speaker 3: remember gettingup at odd hours when there was a cow
Speaker 3: who was having a hard time delivering her calf and labor,
Speaker 3: and my dad had take us down to the barn
Speaker 3: and he'd helped deliver the calf. We watch it take
Speaker 3: its first breaths.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 3: Things like that, you learn about the circle life, the
Speaker 3: value hard.
Speaker 1: Work, and other things you know, and that's interesting, And
Speaker 1: I keep thinking again of my father in law. I
Speaker 1: had more experience seeing what he had to do day
Speaker 1: in and day out. And I've heard so many stories
Speaker 1: from my wife over the years, that sense of community,
Speaker 1: especially in a little tiny community like of Bello, Pennsylvania,
Speaker 1: which no one's ever heard of. You know, he slaughtered
Speaker 1: a cow. It was tough economic times, I think it
Speaker 1: was back in the seventies or maybe even earlier than that.
Speaker 1: But he was a family that needed some help and
Speaker 1: her dad was happy to help out and give them
Speaker 1: some of the meat from the slaughtered cow. That sense
Speaker 1: the community really really is steeped into the equation, and
Speaker 1: I think that's a real blessing, and that's something a
Speaker 1: lot of people don't have in their life. But it's
Speaker 1: a character building thing.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: My wife can tell the same story as you about Listen.
Speaker 1: If you're old enough to pick up something and help
Speaker 1: out in some way, you're going to be working at
Speaker 1: that age, and she worked from you all the time
Speaker 1: you're sitting around there's nothing to do. No on a farm,
Speaker 1: there's always something to do, and kids participating that from
Speaker 1: as soon as they can, just like you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, you are so right. You know. It reminds
Speaker 3: me of a story of my family back in the
Speaker 3: late nineteen seventies early nineteen eighties as we were headed
Speaker 3: toward what was called the farm crisis, where tens of
Speaker 3: thousands of farms got wiped out all over the Midwest,
Speaker 3: my home state, as well as where you guys are,
Speaker 3: and in all over the country too. And what happened
Speaker 3: is the year my parents were married, nineteen seventy six,
Speaker 3: they actually had faced a drought and we had dry
Speaker 3: conditions or wipe out our crops, and they had local
Speaker 3: neighbors who let them pick up, you know, loose hay
Speaker 3: off their barn. There was an old man nearby who
Speaker 3: told my dad, Hey, if you do the harvest for me,
Speaker 3: I'm too old to do the work. If you do
Speaker 3: the harvest for me, we can go have so you
Speaker 3: can have half my hay crop. And it's what got
Speaker 3: them to the winter. It kept them from taking out
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of debt before the farm crisis, which
Speaker 3: is an era when debt drove all kinds of farms under.
Speaker 3: And that is something you see over and over where
Speaker 3: that unique farmland spirit. That's that blend of being willing
Speaker 3: to come run when a neighbor's in need. And also
Speaker 3: the individualism it takes the bigger living out of the dirt.
Speaker 3: It's both those things and it's something that slips away
Speaker 3: in this country as our farms disappear. Unfortunately.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And you know, when I was a younger person, you know,
Speaker 1: more of a kill mall that God sorted out, kind
Speaker 1: of a conservative. Now I find myself to being the
Speaker 1: little libertarian category. And of course, before I married my
Speaker 1: wife and was introduced more intimately with the realities of farming.
Speaker 1: I always was one of the guys would say, well,
Speaker 1: what corporate farms. You know, there's Mellencamp out there doing
Speaker 1: farm aid. If they can't survive corporate farms, Well they're bigger,
Speaker 1: they're more efficient, they're backed by big money. Isn't that
Speaker 1: the direction to go? But there's something that you said
Speaker 1: about preserving the family farm, you know there is.
Speaker 3: And here's the way I look at it too. I mean,
Speaker 3: I think it's important to understand economics. Those farms, to
Speaker 3: your point, they got bigger, trying to make it, trying
Speaker 3: to survive, and there's things all across our entire economy
Speaker 3: that are driving that. And the issue is in our
Speaker 3: country's history. And we found this as we looked at
Speaker 3: the book, because we've hidden airs of history driven the
Speaker 3: disappearance of these farms with my family story, and as
Speaker 3: I examine what was going on, we found that time
Speaker 3: after time, there's ways that our government as well as
Speaker 3: other things, really stack the deck against small farms. And
Speaker 3: so it's not that family farms are saying, hey, we need,
Speaker 3: you know, super special treatment or anything like that. What
Speaker 3: family farms are saying is hey, we want a fair shot.
Speaker 3: And there's ways that family farm has been stamped out
Speaker 3: over the decades, one way or another for years and
Speaker 3: years and years. So you know, some of those bigger farms,
Speaker 3: they got bigger needing to make it, find ways to
Speaker 3: be more efficient, and you know, they've got a role
Speaker 3: that they play, and a lot of these family farms,
Speaker 3: a lot of these smaller farms, you know, they've got
Speaker 3: the ability to play a role too, and they're as
Speaker 3: efficient as competitive. They just aren't as big and don't
Speaker 3: have that scale, but there's a role they can play,
Speaker 3: you know, whether it's in a niche of our food
Speaker 3: economy or what have you. Those are the things that
Speaker 3: I'm exploring, is how we have farms of all kinds
Speaker 3: being able to find a way for because if family
Speaker 3: farms get a fair shot, they can do that well.
Speaker 1: And I get a sense that, you know, a lot
Speaker 1: of people, I don't know whether it's a majority, and
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter, but a sufficient number of people appreciate
Speaker 1: everything you are talking about and talk about in the
Speaker 1: book Langridge Cash Poor. But this goes along with this
Speaker 1: push to buy local. You see it all over the place.
Speaker 1: We try to locally source ingredients. That really translates to
Speaker 1: we're buying from local small farms and businesses.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're so right, And we are at a time
Speaker 3: in our country where people care more than ever about
Speaker 3: where their food comes from. And I think that's an opportunity.
Speaker 3: You know, we've lost forty five thousand farms per year
Speaker 3: on average for the past century. That's a devastating amount
Speaker 3: of us seventy percent of our farms. But we still
Speaker 3: have a lot of farms left in this country. People
Speaker 3: are amazed to hear that eighty eight percent of them
Speaker 3: are small farms. And what we need to do is
Speaker 3: figure out a way to make those farms go from
Speaker 3: being supplemental income to full time income. Because Lobby's families,
Speaker 3: the way they can hold on their farms is they
Speaker 3: work multiple jobs. You know, they're working construction sites, of
Speaker 3: pulling factors, just porn concrete, and working upon How do
Speaker 3: we find a way to have these farms be growing
Speaker 3: entrepreneurial ventures again they can be full time income for
Speaker 3: these families. Well, one of the ways is everybody caring
Speaker 3: about where their food comes from and taking steps to
Speaker 3: buy from local and regional food sources and support their
Speaker 3: farmers with new economic opportunity.
Speaker 1: Absolutely right, and I just have to ask you because
Speaker 1: it seems to me the EPA, the federal government is
Speaker 1: literally everywhere. Is there a risk or is there are
Speaker 1: there threats posed by the regulatory oversight that seems to
Speaker 1: be more and more intrusive in our world, and that
Speaker 1: I presume a small farmer would have a much larger
Speaker 1: struggle complying with Are you do small farmers feel that
Speaker 1: intrusion or haven't they got there yet?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I figured it was yes, go ahead and explain.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean those things create such cost Here. Here's the
Speaker 3: thing about our whether it's our regulations or our farm
Speaker 3: programs with the substitution or whatever. The issue is, there
Speaker 3: are people on the right, the left, outside farming, inside
Speaker 3: fruming have something that they I don't like about it.
Speaker 3: We have so many things we got to change. One
Speaker 3: of the issues that we face is that regulatory burden.
Speaker 3: It creates expenses, it creates costs, It makes it more
Speaker 3: difficult to trying new types of business. All these things,
Speaker 3: and they're designed to go after the big farms. But
Speaker 3: the issue is not only those big farms. Trying to
Speaker 3: figure out a vag can handle the costs you get
Speaker 3: the small farms that have to face similar regulations, and
Speaker 3: it really is something that they're not in a position
Speaker 3: to be able to afford. And so in many cases,
Speaker 3: a lot of these regulations end up hurting some of
Speaker 3: the very farms that some of these folks say that
Speaker 3: they would support as well, which is an irony of
Speaker 3: unintended consequences of government.
Speaker 1: No question about it. And Lord, don't we live with
Speaker 1: that reality every single day. The name of the book
Speaker 1: Landridge cash Board, My Family's Hope and the Untold History
Speaker 1: of the Disappearing American Farmer. But my guest today Brian Reisinger. Brian,
Speaker 1: you still own the family farm.
Speaker 3: Hey, I appreciate you asking. My dad owns a farm
Speaker 3: and my sister's we're going to take it over. She
Speaker 3: has a little more talent for cattle and crops than
Speaker 3: I do, so while I work to tell our stories
Speaker 3: in my career off the farm, she's working to take
Speaker 3: it over. But they do still throw me in a
Speaker 3: tracker in my days off and I help on on
Speaker 3: the business side. So it's a family venture, on and
Speaker 3: on to each generation.
Speaker 1: Well that's great. I don't know where she got it,
Speaker 1: probably definitely one hundred percent for my wife, my daughter,
Speaker 1: it's not we call it the farm, but she and
Speaker 1: her boyfriend hopefully soon to be fiance then husband, Eric,
Speaker 1: got five and a half acres, They got a farm tracker,
Speaker 1: they had a successful year growing vegetables and crops, and
Speaker 1: they're on their way to almost Eric's building a chicken
Speaker 1: coop right now, so it'll soon be a really tiny
Speaker 1: family farm, but a farm nonetheless, and we are just
Speaker 1: enjoying the hell out of them making progress and being
Speaker 1: so proud of what they're trying to accomplish. So there's
Speaker 1: a little bit of genetics in there and I think's
Speaker 1: helping them out. Brian, it's been a real pleasure. But
Speaker 1: your book is on my blog page fifty five Carosee
Speaker 1: dot com, so my list isn't no right where to
Speaker 1: go to get a copy of land Ridge Cash Poor.

Speaker 1: best and hopefully so lot of books. I think it's
