Speaker 1: Five o five at fifty five g r C, the
Speaker 1: talk station. Independence Day Eve.
Speaker 2: A vacation, and that's the way the news go.
Speaker 1: It is unhappy Independence Day Eve. I hope you got
Speaker 1: some great plans this weekend. It's some information and interesting
Speaker 1: information about the level of travel going on over the weekend.
Speaker 1: It's like it's going to be a record setter coming
Speaker 1: up in the fifty five RCY Morning Show. It is Thursday,
Speaker 1: I recognize that, but since I'm off tomorrow, it be
Speaker 1: a best of program. Joe Strecker will hand select some
Speaker 1: of the interviews from the program and replay those tomorrow.
Speaker 1: So no Gary, Jeff Walker or Dan Carroll. But that
Speaker 1: means no Tech Friday Dave Hatter, except we can move
Speaker 1: him back. So today we're going to have a Tech
Speaker 1: Thursday with Dave Hatter. I'm really happy about that. Thank
Speaker 1: you Joe for getting in touch with Dave. And thanks Dave.
Speaker 1: You're out there listening for Green to do that kind
Speaker 1: of be talking about. This is creepy. Wi Fi companies
Speaker 1: can track movement in your houses. That's right. Your Wi
Speaker 1: Fi system allows exterior forces to know you were moving
Speaker 1: around and where you are in your home. I don't
Speaker 1: know what to what end they're going to use that,
Speaker 1: but it is kind of quite creepy and frightening. Artificial
Speaker 1: intelligence is now going after your wallet. Topic number two.
Speaker 1: And then finally a judge allows artificial intelligence testimony from
Speaker 1: a dead man. Oh okay, question mark looming over seven
Speaker 1: oh five Shas Khan, author of the Ultimate Vaccine Timeline,
Speaker 1: on this schedule. It previously confirmed, but Joe sent the
Speaker 1: link for our zoom conversation and it bounced back, meaning
Speaker 1: we were given a bad email address or Joe was
Speaker 1: doing a bad email dress. So he's reached out to
Speaker 1: the powers it be to see if we can't shore
Speaker 1: that up. It sounds like a really amazing book. Props
Speaker 1: on all the information in there, but it traces vaccines
Speaker 1: from their earliest days, like in five hundred DC or
Speaker 1: something like that, all the way through today, and of
Speaker 1: course discusses a lot of the risk and concerns and
Speaker 1: maybe behind the scenes information that you and I weren't
Speaker 1: told about vaccines. You listen to RFK Junior, He's uncovered
Speaker 1: a whole lot of really scary stuff, most notably in
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen vaccine realm. In fact, just the other
Speaker 1: day he was doing an interview. He suggested that doctor
Speaker 1: Anthony Founci played a key role in creating and releasing
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen virus because game function research was outright
Speaker 1: banned by the United States, yet he was able to
Speaker 1: reroute money through a company he controlled over the Wuhan
Speaker 1: Institute of Virology, so they could create this virus in
Speaker 1: a lab. He said out loud, Why did he need immunity?
Speaker 1: Why a preemptive pardon? He suggests voutch She wasn't merely
Speaker 1: an innocent bystander because he funneled and transferred critical technology
Speaker 1: to the Wuhan lab. So I'm sure that's something Chaskan
Speaker 1: has written about. I hope that she's able to join
Speaker 1: the program at seven oh five, but we'll come up
Speaker 1: with something else to talk about, if not followed by
Speaker 1: Morgan Gibson, CEO of First Step Home, a turned nonprofit
Speaker 1: and it provides support for women with substance abuse and
Speaker 1: their children, so laudable goals there. So Morgan's going to
Speaker 1: join the program at seven thirty to talk about that.
Speaker 1: Maybe the way that you and I can help speaking
Speaker 1: to help Brian Ibel return to Brian Ibold from the
Speaker 1: Help Squad. Brian's a real just profound charitable guy. Hey,
Speaker 1: he's got a mission and that's to help people on
Speaker 1: life's margin. He does that through the Help Squad had
Speaker 1: him on quite a few times over the years. And
Speaker 1: a fun and interesting guy. Brian Eibold is finally Jay Rattliffe, Yay,
Speaker 1: it's Thursday. iHeart media aviation expert. We're talking about Southwest
Speaker 1: Airlines trying to well be like everybody else, maybe changing
Speaker 1: the rules on their loyalty companion pass policy, which he
Speaker 1: describes as not good. FBI warning about additional cyber strikes
Speaker 1: against airlines and that they could continue, meaning they're ongoing
Speaker 1: scary moments aboard Japanese a japan Airlines flight, and finally
Speaker 1: the entire freight flight crew got suspended after a reported
Speaker 1: theft of a passenger cell phone. I love talking to
Speaker 1: Jay Rheightloff Love talking to you too, five three seven
Speaker 1: eight two three talk fifty on your AT and T phone.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: It's still developing, the big beautiful bill. They're still talking
Speaker 1: about it, but it did move into its final phase
Speaker 1: this morning. Just about three o'clock this morning, lawmakers voted
Speaker 1: to proceed with debate on the bill. Debate a mechanism
Speaker 1: known as a rule vote that tees up the final
Speaker 1: housewide vote, which could happen as early as this morning.
Speaker 1: So they adopted the rules for debate on the bill
Speaker 1: two nineteen to two thirteen. Only one moderate representative, Brian Fitzpacker, Republican,
Speaker 1: of course, voted voting to proceed, So anyway process could,
Speaker 1: they say It could still take hours. Democrats could call
Speaker 1: up various procedural votes to delay the final measure. They've
Speaker 1: done this before. Bill itself could still face opposition from
Speaker 1: both moderates and conservatives, which has been the big hold up.
Speaker 1: As many as five Republicans were against it as of
Speaker 1: midnight overnight roughly so don't quote me on the exact time.
Speaker 1: Conservative lawmakers threatening to vote no overchanges the Senate made
Speaker 1: to the legislation, saying it's going to add billions of
Speaker 1: dollars to the federal deficits. Those concerns apparently outweighed by
Speaker 1: pressure from House GOP leaders and Trump, who was on
Speaker 1: the phone with all of them over the course of
Speaker 1: yesterday and overnight urging Republicans to coalesce or on the bill.
Speaker 1: Moderates concerned about Senate measures that shift more medicaid costs
Speaker 1: to the states that expanded their programs under Obamacare. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, you got to ask yourself, why did you
Speaker 1: bother expanding your program? Well, the federal government's paying for
Speaker 1: all of it, Yeah, on a temporary basis. I just
Speaker 1: don't understand Red states that why they bothered expanding their
Speaker 1: medicaid program. I don't care if the feather are cover
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of it. As someone a party that's
Speaker 1: supposed to be fiscally responsible, it's everybody's dollars, including the
Speaker 1: residents of your state who pay federal taxes, whose federal
Speaker 1: tax dollars are going to reimburse the state for expanding medicaid.
Speaker 1: I mean talk about definitionally at Charlie Foxtrot. So still
Speaker 1: looming question marks over whether it's going to pass, but
Speaker 1: it is moving forward at a slow pace, all right.
Speaker 1: Onto the weekend, seventy two million p people expected to
Speaker 1: travel nationally. Triple A Travel forecasts it's seventy two point
Speaker 1: two million people will travel at least fifty miles from
Speaker 1: their homes over the Independence Day weekend. They measure the
Speaker 1: period between June twenty eighth and July sixth domestic travel presection.
Speaker 1: That's projection one point seven million more travelers than last
Speaker 1: year and seven million more than twenty nineteen. That's a
Speaker 1: lot us Transportations Security Administration's projections for airline which just
Speaker 1: runs through July first and through the seventh. Highest passenger
Speaker 1: volume expected two point nine million for July sixth. Along
Speaker 1: court of the Transportation Security Administration officials, airports expect the
Speaker 1: highest passenger numbers ever. TSA staff at airports nationwide said
Speaker 1: they are prepared to screen more than eighteen point five
Speaker 1: million travelers at the various security checkpoints. It's going to
Speaker 1: be a packed weekend for air travel. I'm sure Jay
Speaker 1: Ratliffe will be sure and have to say something about that.
Speaker 1: FAA predicting the busiest fourth of July week and fifteen years,
Speaker 1: with today expected to see more than fifty one thousand
Speaker 1: domestic and international flights. You know, when you think about that,
Speaker 1: you got fifty one thousand planes flying around on an
Speaker 1: air traffic control system it's built on floppy discs from
Speaker 1: back in the eighties. It's really a scary reality. As
Speaker 1: far as driving. Some good news here US motorists on
Speaker 1: highways will notice slightly higher gas prices compared to the
Speaker 1: last month. This week national average of gas three dollars
Speaker 1: and twenty two cents, five cents more than a month ago. However,
Speaker 1: the good news gas prices twenty seven cents cheaper than
Speaker 1: this time last year and the lowest gas prices for
Speaker 1: July fourth weekend since twenty twenty one. How about that
Speaker 1: worst place to buy gas California four dollars and sixty
Speaker 1: two cents. Hawaii would you'd imagine would be number one
Speaker 1: because literally everything in Hawaii needs to be shipped in.
Speaker 1: It is an island chain. Anyway, four dollars and forty
Speaker 1: seven cents. You got to pay four to forty five
Speaker 1: in Washington State, Oregon four oh six, Nevada three eighty one,
Speaker 1: Alaska three seventy four Alaska where they have all the
Speaker 1: oil that they can possibly deal with, followed by Illinois, ID, Idaho,
Speaker 1: and Pennsylvania. At least expensive, it's going to be in
Speaker 1: Mississippi at least for gas Mississippi James, You're only paying
Speaker 1: two dollars and seventy three cents a gallon, followed by Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Missouri,
Speaker 1: and South Carolina as well as Kansas. Those are all
Speaker 1: the lowest, Kansas number ten in the list at two
Speaker 1: dollars and ninety one cents. So good news for gas prices.
Speaker 1: And of course, you know, one of the positives of
Speaker 1: the big beautiful bill, ignoring the deficit creation reality, it'll
Speaker 1: free up more domestic energy production, which is a good thing,
Speaker 1: and roll back all these green energy programs and quit
Speaker 1: funding those. It's amazing how much money rolled out of
Speaker 1: the federal government in the waning days of the Biden
Speaker 1: administration auto pen and full gear. Apparently, Biden Administration's energy
Speaker 1: departments signed off on nearly forty two billion dollars for
Speaker 1: green energy projects between let us see here. Actually between
Speaker 1: January sixteenth and January seventeenth of this year, Man Loan
Speaker 1: Program's office approved at least ninety three billion dollars in
Speaker 1: current future disbursements. This after Kamala Harris lost the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four election in November, Biden had to get all
Speaker 1: the money out of the door as soon as possible,
Speaker 1: so billions and billions of money went out the door.
Speaker 1: So I know the Republicans are busy trying to cls
Speaker 1: some of that back, but there are complications on that,
Speaker 1: and that's one of the things that's in this big
Speaker 1: beautiful bill rolling back some of those green energy projects.
Speaker 1: And then that's when you find out that the Republicans,
Speaker 1: who are usually you know, against this and find it
Speaker 1: to be contrary to their political leanings and dealings, well
Speaker 1: that's until their state is the recipient of one of
Speaker 1: these green projects. That which time they all decide, well, no, no,
Speaker 1: the rest of them need to go, but we're we
Speaker 1: want to keep the one that's coming to our state, right,
Speaker 1: just like military spending five sixteen, fifty five krc DE
Speaker 1: Talk station. Feel free to call, got more coming up
Speaker 1: and I'll be right back after these brief parts.
Speaker 4: This is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio Station.
Speaker 5: Don't let the popsicles and muddy puddles.
Speaker 1: Five twenty we'll change of pace on this Independence Day
Speaker 1: for the bumper music. Thank you, just treker refreshing. All right,
Speaker 1: maybe you know and maybe you don't know, but Sarah Hennager,
Speaker 1: the widow of man who was stabbed to death, and
Speaker 1: they're over the Rhine apartment, Jim owner down and over
Speaker 1: the Rhine apparently successful guy, great guy, nice husband, all
Speaker 1: the great things, and he's no longer with us because
Speaker 1: of violent crime in downtown Cincinnati. I'll get to Sarah
Speaker 1: Heninger and Herringer rather prologies to Sarah for mispronouncing the
Speaker 1: last name there anyway in a local story. I just
Speaker 1: I'm kind of curious to gauge your reaction on this
Speaker 1: Red Bike station. You know, there's rental bikes that they
Speaker 1: have all over the place, so they're going to be
Speaker 1: available this weekend. In a social media post, the city
Speaker 1: said Red Bike agreed to close stations and over the
Speaker 1: Rhine in the Central Business District for the weekend. Also
Speaker 1: a restriction on the use of rental eatscooters in both
Speaker 1: neighborhoods between eight pm and six am on Thursday, Friday
Speaker 1: and Saturday. Delgy CPOs Taylor Whiter and Jay Score reached
Speaker 1: out to Cheryl Long's office city manager, and they said, well,
Speaker 1: trying to prevent the rise in crime in over the Rhine,
Speaker 1: both police and residents flag Red Bikes as part of
Speaker 1: the problem. Spokesman for the city said it's another intervention
Speaker 1: to prevent crime. Coord to the City Sincinnati post, to
Speaker 1: prioritize safety Downtown. Red Bike agreed to the city's request
Speaker 1: to closed stations in OTR in Central Business District this weekend.
Speaker 1: The city also restricting the use of East scooters in
Speaker 1: the area. The suspension will be in fact eight am
Speaker 1: to six apm to six am Thursday through Saturday evenings.
Speaker 1: All right over to Sarah Hannah Aarringer commenting on this
Speaker 1: nascial media post on Facebook, which is widely circulating. It's
Speaker 1: the topic near and dear to Christopher Smithman's hearty he
Speaker 1: was venting about it earlier this week and find that
Speaker 1: podcast thirty five k SE dot com. The murderer who
Speaker 1: took my husband's life didn't use a bike. The murderer
Speaker 1: didn't use a scooter, and yet this city's grand solution
Speaker 1: banned bikes and scooters for the weekend, just long enough
Speaker 1: to protect the image, the tourists and the dollars. Cincinna's
Speaker 1: averaging thirteen homicides a month. Now, that's what's killing people,
Speaker 1: not bikes, not scooters. My husband wasn't murdered because of
Speaker 1: transportation options. He was murdered because violent crime is out
Speaker 1: of control. While city leadership chases headlines instead of solutions,
Speaker 1: I asked the Chief of police why they weren't rounding
Speaker 1: up the A wall criminals, the ones who are actually
Speaker 1: putting lives at risk. Here's the reality. There are fourteen
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five people on supervised release from Hamilton County,
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty three violators at large as of
Speaker 1: June twelfth. Fifty two of them have been convicted of
Speaker 1: violent offenses. And what did I get? Jask? Silence? Probably
Speaker 1: because it was after five pm. Probably because they were
Speaker 1: leaving for vacation the next day. That's the level of urgency,
Speaker 1: that's the priority. City leadership can scramble overnight to limit scooters,
Speaker 1: but not take violent criminals off our streets. They're addressing optics,
Speaker 1: not reality. What happens on Monday when the tourists leave,
Speaker 1: the bike's return, and the violence keeps going. How does
Speaker 1: banning bikes stop the bloodshed? It doesn't because it's only
Speaker 1: It isn't about safety, it's about theater, and it's cowardice.
Speaker 1: They can move overnight to protect their image. They could
Speaker 1: move overnight to protect their people. They just don't want to.
Speaker 1: And here's what they're not talking thinking about. Every time
Speaker 1: they choose image over action. The trust of this city
Speaker 1: erodes every time they patch the optics but ignore the cause.
Speaker 1: The streets go more dangerous. Every time they move for
Speaker 1: tourists and not for residents, they reveal who they really
Speaker 1: are protecting. Since Anti doesn't need another weekend stunt, it
Speaker 1: needs leaders willing to act before the camera's wall, willing
Speaker 1: to take the hard steps that actually make a city safe.
Speaker 1: And until they do, we see it. We see the failure,
Speaker 1: We see the cowardice, and we will not forget. But
Speaker 1: she has been outstoken, has spoken an unrelenting since of
Speaker 1: course her husband's murder, and good for her. A lot
Speaker 1: of bad things happen to people, but can you use
Speaker 1: that bad event in your life to help transform for
Speaker 1: the better a community. God love her, and I hope
Speaker 1: she has some success getting these elected officials off their
Speaker 1: butts and getting them to address the crime prop in
Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati, and getting them to become more
Speaker 1: outspoken on support of police and the relationship building with
Speaker 1: the various communities in the City of Cincinnati relative to
Speaker 1: their support of police. You know, I'm sure a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of people out in the Greater Cincinnati area or
Speaker 1: in the Cincinnati area proper knows something about the one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty three violators at large that she mentioned
Speaker 1: in her Facebook post drop a dime huh five twenty
Speaker 1: five ify five KRCD talk station local stories moving on
Speaker 1: advance or from that local story, more of those coming
Speaker 1: up or phone calls which I love. I'll be right
Speaker 1: back five twenty eight, coming up a five twenty nine
Speaker 1: that about Kercity Talk station. Collect to saw these guys
Speaker 1: in concert. Man, they put on a great show of
Speaker 1: going back a lot of years on that good call
Speaker 1: on this Joe. Appreciate the change up there and all
Speaker 1: is right with the world. Times on the phone, Tom,
Speaker 1: Happy Independence Day to you, brother.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, And I'll start by wishing everyone a happy Independence
Speaker 6: Day two hundred and fiftieth. Huh, big deal. Wow, Yes,
Speaker 6: we're still We're still babies compared to a lot of
Speaker 6: countries around the world.
Speaker 7: Aren't we.
Speaker 1: Yeah, as it rapidly deteriorates and falls apart red our
Speaker 1: very eyes.
Speaker 6: There, we're still we're still trying to figure this experiment out, apparently. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I first want to touch on the whole h the
Speaker 6: victory for common sense with the whole transgender thing and
Speaker 6: letting men participate in women's sports. With the University of
Speaker 6: Pennsylvania decision, it's not like they had much of a choice.
Speaker 6: Kudos to Trump and the Trump administration for putting squeeze
Speaker 6: at these people and making things right. That that that
Speaker 6: was good to see that that that dude, he's a dude.
Speaker 6: I don't care how many times they put her or
Speaker 6: she in any article.
Speaker 8: That is it.
Speaker 1: That is a man, so Leah Thomas, right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, correct, correct, So I don't really mind the name
Speaker 6: it's I'm not I'm not calling a guy her or she.
Speaker 6: I just won't do it. So if I accidentally read
Speaker 6: it through an article, I'll I'll double back and I'll
Speaker 6: quickly correct myself because, uh, that I find had to
Speaker 6: be extremely extremely offensive calling a calling a man a woman,
Speaker 6: and referring to hers as him as as she. So anyway,
Speaker 6: move on from that. Uh your your thing. You just
Speaker 6: read your Facebook post? Is that Sarah Herringer? Is that
Speaker 6: what you said?
Speaker 1: Correct?
Speaker 6: Yeah, very very powerful story and uh the only thing
Speaker 6: missing at the end of her at the end of
Speaker 6: her post should be three words don't vote Democrat. Have
Speaker 6: a great holiday weekend, Brett, You do.
Speaker 1: The same, Tom thanks for calling as always five one
Speaker 1: thirty seven nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight
Speaker 1: to two three Talk or go with pound five fifty
Speaker 1: on AT and T phones. Two. Have other local stories
Speaker 1: see we got a man facing a reckless homicide charge
Speaker 1: after his wife was shot in the head and died.
Speaker 1: UH charged with reckless homicide Tyrone Crawford, as well as
Speaker 1: improper handling of a firearm and a motor vehicle, as
Speaker 1: well as tamplering with evidence following the June twenty nine
Speaker 1: death of his wife accord in the Middletown Police. Around
Speaker 1: ten forty five pm June twenty nine, police sit officers
Speaker 1: and firefighters went to a home on Roosevelt Boulevard for
Speaker 1: a shooting victim. Middletown Police so they found Curtis in
Speaker 1: the backyard. Alec Alexis curtis Is dead wife's name, with
Speaker 1: a gunshot wound to her head. She died at the scene.
Speaker 1: Officer talked with Crawford, who said he was Curtis's husband
Speaker 1: and the two had a child together. Crawford told officers
Speaker 1: he and his wife had just gotten home and he
Speaker 1: was getting a handgun out of their parked vehicle. While
Speaker 1: holding the gun, Police said, he told the officers that
Speaker 1: it went off. Police said they later learned that Crawford
Speaker 1: ran into the home and hid the gun in the bathroom.
Speaker 1: Weapon later found during a search of the home. It
Speaker 1: was an accident, Joe. It just went off on its own. Oh,
Speaker 1: you think like pulp fiction. Well, that's why all people
Speaker 1: who have any familiarity with handling of firearms, notably handguns,
Speaker 1: it's always keep your finger off the trigger at all times, unless,
Speaker 1: of course, you are prepared to use it. So like,
Speaker 1: you know, if your wife's standing there, you don't pull
Speaker 1: a firearm out and have your finger on the trigger
Speaker 1: just because it may be a really light trigger. Hair
Speaker 1: trigger believes what they call them. Ohio Attorney General Dave
Speaker 1: you O suing Weapon X Motorsports Incorporated and its owner,
Speaker 1: Benjamin Herndon for taking payments for orders the business did
Speaker 1: fulfill or refund yoh said the businesses and its owner
Speaker 1: failed to fulfill orders for nine customers who reportedly lost
Speaker 1: it total of twelve thousand, almost nine hundred dollars. The
Speaker 1: court of the lawsuit. Weapon Ex Motorsports has been registered
Speaker 1: in Ohio as a business since August of twenty twenty
Speaker 1: says though the business has a facility in Chapel Lane
Speaker 1: and Forest Park, that building is not open to the public.
Speaker 1: Court of the lawsuit and said the business sells aftermarket
Speaker 1: vehicle parts and accessories to consumers through its website. Court
Speaker 1: of lawsuit often defendants accepted money from customers for parts
Speaker 1: and accessories and then allowed more than eight weeks to
Speaker 1: elapse without providing the items consumers ordered. When defendants failed
Speaker 1: to deliver the items, they did not refund consumers. They
Speaker 1: did not offer to furnish similar goods of equal or
Speaker 1: greater value. When customers got in touch with Herndon and
Speaker 1: the business, they were repeatedly promised to delivery the items,
Speaker 1: but with a pushback arrival date. Said the defendants knew
Speaker 1: those items would be eminently would not be eminently delivered.
Speaker 1: That's what the lawsuit of ledges. In some instances, the
Speaker 1: court to the complaint, consumers waited over a year for
Speaker 1: delivery and still never received the ordered item. When consumers
Speaker 1: requested and canceled their order after months of delay, they
Speaker 1: were told that their order was non refundable. Wow, not
Speaker 1: much of a business model. In addition to Lawson claims
Speaker 1: Herndon took money from buyers for parts and accessories, then
Speaker 1: delivered the incorrect product or a damaged item. When he
Speaker 1: received complaints, they failed to offer a refund or provide
Speaker 1: a replacement of item to equal greater value businesses cancelation
Speaker 1: and refund policies were quote substantially one sided. Close quote
Speaker 1: that's an understatement. For example, it says consumers were permitted
Speaker 1: only on one business day from purchase to contact the
Speaker 1: defendants to cancel the order or potentially not be able
Speaker 1: to cancel or receive a refund one day. Top of that,
Speaker 1: cancelation policy also reserved the right to charge consumers up
Speaker 1: to twenty five percent cancellation and restocking fee for non
Speaker 1: custom manufactured item and up to fifty percent for custom
Speaker 1: manufactured items, twenty percent restocking fee for return unopened items
Speaker 1: in their original packaging. Yes, lawsuits seeking Herndon Weapons X
Speaker 1: Motor Source to pay up to twenty five thousand dollars
Speaker 1: in civil penalties also requests that all customers damaged by
Speaker 1: defendant's unlawful actions be reimbursed by Herndon and the business.
Speaker 1: A rather unscrupulous business model, I have to note. Let's
Speaker 1: see here. We've got stack and stupid coming up. And
Speaker 1: since it's Thursday, there is no Friday show or well
Speaker 1: live Friday show. I have a stack of stupid that
Speaker 1: of course is filled with naked people. Thank you. Joe
Speaker 1: Tracker dialoaded back a day five point thirty five Stick
Speaker 1: around the.
Speaker 9: Right pack fifty five KRC.
Speaker 10: What's the best place to reach new customers?
Speaker 1: By forty Friday e Independence Day Eve five one three
Speaker 1: two three talk. It's tad on over to the phones.
Speaker 1: Jay's gone again this morning. Jay, welcome back to the show. Hey,
Speaker 1: good morning, Brian.
Speaker 10: Hey, I just heard your.
Speaker 11: Points there about the story about Dave Yost taking action
Speaker 11: and protecting consumers and protecting citizens of Ohio. My question is,
Speaker 11: why isn't Dave Yost. Shouldn't he be stepping up in
Speaker 11: his office, stepping up whenever the state of Ohio decides
Speaker 11: to give unclaimed funds that really don't belong to the
Speaker 11: State of Ohio to a private business. I mean, let's
Speaker 11: just say that instead of six hundred million dollars one
Speaker 11: to the Cleveland Browns that went to First Energy, you
Speaker 11: think the Attorney General might step in and and these
Speaker 11: are not funds that were tax revenues.
Speaker 6: That we were.
Speaker 11: You know, the legally owned by the state of Ohio.
Speaker 1: Yeah, these are.
Speaker 11: Unclaimed funds by Ohio on that do not belong.
Speaker 8: To the State of Ohio.
Speaker 11: I would encourage the listeners to light up the Attorney
Speaker 11: General's office, the top.
Speaker 6: Cop for the state of Ohio.
Speaker 1: That office should be the one.
Speaker 12: And I've called them before this all.
Speaker 11: Went into law, and they said, well, let's just stay
Speaker 11: tuned to see if the law passed way passed.
Speaker 12: Yeah, so what are.
Speaker 11: They doing now?
Speaker 1: And isn't that their job?
Speaker 11: And whenever legalized theft of this And I'm not sure.
Speaker 11: I'm not sure it's legal because nobody can put their
Speaker 11: finger on the part of the Ohio Constitution that says
Speaker 11: unclaimed funds could just be relegated to the business of
Speaker 11: choice of the governor or the legislature.
Speaker 1: Well, I will be quite honest with you, since I
Speaker 1: wasn't aware that there was an entire four and a
Speaker 1: half billion dollar unclaims fund pile of money before this
Speaker 1: issue came out. I have read though, that they're deemed
Speaker 1: forfeited if there is no action on those accounts and
Speaker 1: no effort to claim those accounts, like after ten years.
Speaker 1: So let's assume that that's lawful and legal on the books,
Speaker 1: and that means it does belong and is under the
Speaker 1: control of the state. How much play they have with
Speaker 1: it and what they can use that money for is
Speaker 1: a total mystery to me, my friend, because this is
Speaker 1: the first time I'm aware that it's ever come up.
Speaker 1: So might he like to.
Speaker 10: Beg your pardon so it could be challenged?
Speaker 1: I do believe it could be. Yeah, I mean, there's
Speaker 1: certainly a room in there the question of standing. Who
Speaker 1: has standing to challenge it? Now, if you're someone who
Speaker 1: has unclaimed funds in that fund and you've been denied
Speaker 1: the recovery of those funds or something, you might have
Speaker 1: standing since it's impacting you. Although they're not spending all
Speaker 1: of the money, so it's not as if some person
Speaker 1: who has a legitimate claim is they still can no
Speaker 1: longer get their money if they have a valid claim.
Speaker 1: I'll admit, Jay, it does sound it's crazy for me fundamentally,
Speaker 1: just because the money is being given to private sports owners.
Speaker 1: But there may be a very well illegal challenge. It's
Speaker 1: in there. How it goes and how it unfolds and happens.
Speaker 1: Who has standing to bring it all remains a mystery
Speaker 1: to me. Jay, I guess we're gonna have to wait
Speaker 1: and find out. But legitimate concern Mississippi. James, welcome back
Speaker 1: to the fifty five Kressey Morning Show. I mentioned you
Speaker 1: in the when I was talking about gas prices earlier.
Speaker 1: Apparently you're the guy who's living in the state with
Speaker 1: the least expensive gasoline prices averaging two dollars and seventy
Speaker 1: three cents. Welcome back to the morning show, James. Always
Speaker 1: good to hear from you, all.
Speaker 8: Right, and I do need to fill up today.
Speaker 1: Good. Well, you're in the best state in the Union
Speaker 1: for that, so I don't know if you're paying more
Speaker 1: than two seventy three, but it's a hell of a
Speaker 1: lot better than four dollars and sixty two cents in California.
Speaker 1: You're right, you're right.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 8: We just finished up mayor city council votes this week.
Speaker 8: Well they went into office just started this week. The
Speaker 8: election was June the third, so I have more time.
Speaker 8: I've been nine hit and meiling in this poll.
Speaker 1: Take.
Speaker 8: I guess with the city and the county they all
Speaker 8: set for another four years now, so we'll see that road.
Speaker 1: Yeah, are you Are you optimistic?
Speaker 14: Uh?
Speaker 1: I have to be that I That is okay. You
Speaker 1: want a default to be optimistic, and that's your nature, Jays.
Speaker 1: But that hesits That wasn't really you know, uh a
Speaker 1: stunning uh. You know, support for the current administration. You
Speaker 1: got to deal with that.
Speaker 13: I have to be watchful.
Speaker 8: I have to be watchful, but will will be optimistic?
Speaker 1: Good for you? Good for you?
Speaker 3: Not.
Speaker 8: The guy was just speaking about the unclaimed UH funds And.
Speaker 13: Did you say it was over four billion in there?
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, my goodness, Uh huh no, better.
Speaker 13: Check and see. I have a.
Speaker 7: Right at one time.
Speaker 8: But the process was so long and let this I
Speaker 8: think I stopped pays weight through.
Speaker 1: Hmmm. Maybe it's by design that it's long, lengthy and difficult, James.
Speaker 1: People just walk away from it out of hell with it.
Speaker 1: It's only five hundred bucks that I left in that
Speaker 1: closed bank account. Let him have it. I can see that.
Speaker 1: I can see that, yep, yep.
Speaker 8: So I'll attempt at a DN see what's in there.
Speaker 8: If I got anything. Hurry up, Dave is gonna get this.
Speaker 1: What six hundred million? Cleveland Brown? Well, I got to admit,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna give money away. It's better to just
Speaker 1: take that money that's in the pile that you already
Speaker 1: have than going in debt to do it, which was
Speaker 1: the House original proposal to borrow six hundred million dollars
Speaker 1: and then pay debt service on it, which means with
Speaker 1: debt service it would have been overall more than a
Speaker 1: billion dollars. So that was profoundly stupid. Not sure that
Speaker 1: this is any better because of my overall objections to
Speaker 1: handling it away to private entities, But we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: Appreciate the call, James, have a great Independence Day. By
Speaker 1: forty six Federal Credit Union's nineteenth Annuel Charity Golf Tournament.

Speaker 15: Fifty five car the talk station in the podcast, I
Speaker 15: could be good if I have CARECD talk station.
Speaker 1: Internet research guru Joe Strecker, who all apparently is entitled
Speaker 1: to an unclaimed fund countering what Mississippi James said. He
Speaker 1: Joe just did it right now, I said. It took
Speaker 1: him a total of two minutes. You got to Colm,
Speaker 1: which stands for commerce Colm dot Ohio spelled out dot gov.
Speaker 1: Joe said, about two minutes to fill the format. You
Speaker 1: can search by your name and your address, and at
Speaker 1: some point it'll ask you for a social security number
Speaker 1: to see if you have any unclaimed funds out there.
Speaker 1: But it is a secure website. It's run by the
Speaker 1: state of Ohio, so they already have your security number,
Speaker 1: so it may be worth it. Joe put a claim
Speaker 1: in for the funds that were there owed him, and
Speaker 1: apparently Joe looked it up again. Interser internet research guru.
Speaker 1: He is apparently ag yost did tell Dwine to veto
Speaker 1: the six hundred million dollar gift to the Brown provision,
Speaker 1: but obviously Dwine did not do that. Now phase two
Speaker 1: is whether he actually has a legal challenge to doing that.
Speaker 1: And in talking with Joe, Joe thinks the idea that
Speaker 1: Yost would sue the Wine slimmed to none and slim
Speaker 1: left left down. It's this tradition, YEP. Police arrested a

Speaker 1: They typically end that way, don't they. Fifty five krs
Speaker 1: the talk station Tech Thursday with Dave Hatter coming up
Speaker 1: with six thirty A little frightening information about our artificial intelligence,
Speaker 1: among other stories going on. And I also appreciate phone calls,
Speaker 1: so feel free to call me up. I'm the right back.
Speaker 10: Huse happens fast, stay up to date at the top
Speaker 10: of the hour.
Speaker 1: Not gonna be complicated.
Speaker 10: It's going to go very fast. Fifty five krs the
Speaker 10: talk station.
Speaker 1: Six to fifty five kr CE the talk station Independence Day.
Speaker 1: He hope you have some great plans for tomorrow. I'll
Speaker 1: be off tomorrow. I'm going to be doing a best
Speaker 1: of show Just struck Girl selects prior recorded segments and
Speaker 1: we'll do we'll deal with that. So there's no Tech
Speaker 1: Friday with Dave Hatter tomorrow. But fortunately at the bottom
Speaker 1: of this hour, we'll have Tech Thursday with Dave Hatter.
Speaker 1: Today we'll be discussing discussed how Wi Fi companies apparently
Speaker 1: can track your movements in your own house, Creepy artificial
Speaker 1: intelligence now going after your wallet. And finally Judge allows
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence testimony from a dead man. Really looking forward
Speaker 1: to talking with them about that question mark looming over
Speaker 1: the seven oh five guest spot with Shas Khan, author
Speaker 1: of the Ultimate Vaccine Timeline. I'm really hoping she's able
Speaker 1: to make it. It's a called subtitled A fact Packed
Speaker 1: History of Vaccines and their Makers. Apparently she poured through
Speaker 1: just hundreds of years worth of information about vaccines and
Speaker 1: revealing I guess the good and the bad. So apparently
Speaker 1: Joe was giving a poor email address link so he
Speaker 1: couldn't send her the zoom link. He's reached out to
Speaker 1: her people and maybe we'll get that short up by
Speaker 1: seven oh five. I'll keep my fingers crossed for that.
Speaker 1: Morgan Gibson to be joining the program. She's with First
Speaker 1: Step Home CEO there. It's a nonprofit providing support for
Speaker 1: women with substance abuse and their children. Worthwhile effort there
Speaker 1: plus help Squads. Brian Ebold returns at eighth five. Is
Speaker 1: he gonna be in the studio, Joe great? Oh, that's wonderful.
Speaker 1: I always enjoy talking with Brian. He's a really good man.
Speaker 1: He's doing his best to help the West Side community
Speaker 1: through his charitable organization to help Squad. So maybe we
Speaker 1: can put some love together for Brian and his efforts
Speaker 1: and get some updates on some of the great work
Speaker 1: that they've done. Finally, it is Thursday, slash Friday Eve
Speaker 1: slash Independence Day Eve. Jay rat left got some news
Speaker 1: about Southwest Airline trying to be like everybody else, and
Speaker 1: he calls it not a good change. FBI warning about
Speaker 1: additional cyber strikes against airlines, scary moments aboard a Japan
Speaker 1: Airlines flight, and finally, an entire flight crew suspended after
Speaker 1: reporting someone reported the theft of a passenger cell phone.
Speaker 1: So those with Jay Rattler feel free to call five
Speaker 1: one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred
Speaker 1: eighty two to three talk found five fifty on AT
Speaker 1: and T phones. Frightening reality and I guess you know,
Speaker 1: you gotta face the truth. And it's nice when people
Speaker 1: are honest and at least forthcoming with their opinions as
Speaker 1: gloom and dooming as they may be, rather than hiding
Speaker 1: it from you. Headline for The Wall Street Journal chip
Speaker 1: Cutter reporting CEOs starts saying the quiet part out loud.
Speaker 1: AI will wipe out jobs. I think you and I
Speaker 1: could probably have concluded this on our own, but the
Speaker 1: CEOs of very major corporations tend to have a lot
Speaker 1: of knowledge and insight into these things. They stay on
Speaker 1: top of them because it is the future of their
Speaker 1: business and the other ones making decisions on the future
Speaker 1: of their business and how much artificial intelligence they're going
Speaker 1: to be using. First with Chief executive Jim Farley of
Speaker 1: Ford Motor Company, quote, artificial intelligence is going to replace
Speaker 1: literally half of all white collar workers in the United States. Now,
Speaker 1: I hope that's an overstatement, most notably because you know,
Speaker 1: you have to point out white collar workers tend to
Speaker 1: be the highest breadwinners in terms of earnings, the highest salaries,
Speaker 1: and therefore the highest tax If you wipe out half
Speaker 1: of them, can the economy survive? AI will leave a
Speaker 1: lot of white collar people behind, he concluded over to
Speaker 1: JP Morgan Chase MARIONN. Lake, CEO of the Banks, Consumer
Speaker 1: and Community Business told investors back in May that she
Speaker 1: can see its operations headcount following by ten percent in
Speaker 1: the next few years because the company uses new AI
Speaker 1: tools to consolidate work and get work done by computer
Speaker 1: that otherwise would have been done by a real human being.
Speaker 1: Amazon CEO Andy Jase and a note too employees last
Speaker 1: month he expected in June expected the company's overall corporate
Speaker 1: workforce to be smaller in the coming years because of
Speaker 1: a once in a lifetime AI technology being involved. We
Speaker 1: will need fewer people doing some of the jobs that
Speaker 1: have been done today and more people doing other types
Speaker 1: of jobs. And there was another article recently about Amazon.
Speaker 1: They're going to be more robot on the floor of
Speaker 1: their sorting facilities and actual human beings. So that's happened,
Speaker 1: right that's happening right now. CEO Dario Amodi from Anthropic
Speaker 1: said in May that half of all entry level jobs
Speaker 1: could disappear in one to five years. And here's a
Speaker 1: real stunning exclamation point on the reality of that, resulting
Speaker 1: in US unemployment of ten to twenty percent. He urged
Speaker 1: company executives and government officials to stop sugarcoating the situation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the kind of information we're all going to
Speaker 1: need out there so we can make informed choices on
Speaker 1: what we do going forward, And most notably for young
Speaker 1: people pursuing their career opportunities, you know, starting out either
Speaker 1: considering maybe a trade school or a college education. Ask
Speaker 1: yourself the fundamental question is this future of mine, this
Speaker 1: career path that I have chosen, is it possible or
Speaker 1: likely that it could be wiped out through by artificial intelligence?
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of industries where that could happen.
Speaker 1: I think of accounting for one. I mean, isn't that
Speaker 1: exactly what Elon Musk and the Doge people were doing
Speaker 1: up in Washington, DC, harnessing a power of artificial intelligence
Speaker 1: to rifle through the books very quickly and efficiently. Now,
Speaker 1: to point out, it's been the norm for all these
Speaker 1: CEOs and folks in the know to sort of downplay
Speaker 1: the idea of artificial intelligence when they are interviewed about
Speaker 1: it in private, though apparently they had been talking about
Speaker 1: how their businesses will likely be run with a fraction
Speaker 1: of the current staff. Technologies including automated soft automation software,
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence, and robots are rolled out to make operations
Speaker 1: as lean and efficient as possible. Micah Coffin, CEO of
Speaker 1: a marketplace, a freelance marketplace, Fiver that's the name of it,
Speaker 1: told his staff this is a wake up call. It
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if you are a programmer, designer, product manager,
Speaker 1: data scientist, lawyer, customer, support rep, salesperson or finance person.
Speaker 1: AI is coming for you to w Lutke, chief executive
Speaker 1: at Shopify, recently told his workers that the company wouldn't
Speaker 1: make any new hires unless managers could prove artificial intelligence
Speaker 1: isn't capable of doing the job that the new hire
Speaker 1: would be doing. James Reinhardt, CEO of the online resale
Speaker 1: site thread Up, quote, I think it's going to destroy
Speaker 1: way more jobs than the average person thinks. Over at IBM, yes,
Speaker 1: still around, Chief executive arn VN Krishna. So the company
Speaker 1: used artificial intelligence to replace the work of a couple
Speaker 1: of hundred people in human resources. So he did add
Speaker 1: that the company hired more programmers than salespeople. Apparently there's
Speaker 1: still a need for programmers and salespeople, but apparently not
Speaker 1: over in human resources, where artificial intelligence is now doing
Speaker 1: the job. This is kind of frightening stuff. Folks, you
Speaker 1: say what you want about whether or not you want
Speaker 1: to embrace artificial intelligence or not. It's happening all around
Speaker 1: us in the future. Does not sound real good based
Speaker 1: upon these at least learned officials and lofty places in
Speaker 1: these massive, huge businesses. I guess we know that around here, Joe,
Speaker 1: don't we Automation they've gotten rid of pretty much everybody
Speaker 1: who is not literally nailed down in some capacity, and
Speaker 1: I will personally observe it to my experience that the
Speaker 1: quality has not improved with the adoption of technology to
Speaker 1: do the work that humans otherwise would do. You've run
Speaker 1: in a couple of illustrat of that, haven't you, Joel
Speaker 1: huh oh Daily Basis anyhow five one three fifty five hundred,
Speaker 1: eight hundred eighty two to three Taco Tome five fifty
Speaker 1: on AT and T phones. Make sure you remember fifty
Speaker 1: five KRC dot com get the podcast. Senator George Lang
Speaker 1: on the Ohio Budget yesterday. Really enjoyed talking with him,
Speaker 1: Judging and Apolitano always at a pleasure with having him
Speaker 1: on the program. Got some information about transportation for my
Speaker 1: Claremont County veteran Steve Belzo from the Veterans Service Commission.
Speaker 1: They do have rides for you, and they do have
Speaker 1: rides to your medical appointments even on holidays, federal holidays,
Speaker 1: because well, medical issues do not stop merely because it's
Speaker 1: a federal holiday holiday. Plus uh Donovan and Neil for
Speaker 1: Americans for prosperity on the Ohio budget as well. It's
Speaker 1: all there, fifty five KRC dot com wire there, get
Speaker 1: your iHeartMedia so you can stream the content wherever it
Speaker 1: happened to be. And if you've got an imported car
Speaker 1: traditionally imported car Asia or Europe, or even a Tesla,
Speaker 1: you want to take it to foreign exchange. And the
Speaker 1: point is saving money. You go to the dealer, you're
Speaker 1: gonna pay more. Now, why pay more, There's no reason
Speaker 1: for it. You get great technology text working on your car.
Speaker 1: As certified Master technicians they are. You'll get a full
Speaker 1: warranty on parts and service. That's a guarantee that the
Speaker 1: car is fixed, and they don't charge you as much
Speaker 1: and sometimes a substantially lower amount. I've commented out loud,
Speaker 1: I wish I knew how much money I saved over
Speaker 1: the years by taking my cars to the foreign exchange
Speaker 1: rather than the dealer, but I know it's a lot,
Speaker 1: so you can do the same. I recommend the Westchester
Speaker 1: location where Austin and his team of outstanding folks will
Speaker 1: take terrific care of you and save you a heapload
Speaker 1: of money. That's the Tylersville exit off of I seventy five.
Speaker 1: Just go east and hang a right on Kingland Drive.
Speaker 1: It's just two streets, real short stretch, online foreign axform
Speaker 1: the letter X dot com. Please tell me, Brian said,
Speaker 1: have any call for an appointment. It's five one three,
Speaker 1: six four four twenty six twenty six. That's six four
Speaker 1: four twenty six twenty six.
Speaker 10: Fifty five KRC dot com.
Speaker 16: Our iHeartRadio Music Festival, six fifty five k r CD
Speaker 16: talk station looking forward to Independence Day and a day off.
Speaker 1: Well, we all know David's on permanent vacation. Anyway, I'm
Speaker 1: going to get the call here. Bear with me. I
Speaker 1: just want observation. I mentioned yesterday was reporting about how
Speaker 1: close we are to Social Security Trust Fund running out,
Speaker 1: and part of the article talked about the number of
Speaker 1: workers per retired person and the number is dropping and
Speaker 1: it's getting worse. Which point where it's going to be
Speaker 1: like two point three people working for every recipient of
Speaker 1: social security, meaning taxes are going to have to go up,
Speaker 1: and so security recipient is gonna get less money if
Speaker 1: this prediction from this anthropic CPO Dario Dario Amadi comes
Speaker 1: true and unemployment, in fact, because of artificial intelligence, jumps
Speaker 1: to ten to twenty percent. Might I note that that's
Speaker 1: going to exacerbate an already serious problem we have on
Speaker 1: our hands. Social services will be overwhelmed. You I mentioned
Speaker 1: a number of people on unemployment and what happened to
Speaker 1: the unemployment program, on and on and on, Hank. Thanks
Speaker 1: for bearing with me during that little tear there. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the Morning show, and Happy Friday Eve.
Speaker 3: Happy Friday Eve to you too, Brian, and thanks for
Speaker 3: referring to Independence Sterek Day correctly. I get it just
Speaker 3: calling it July fourth, which is everywhere in the world.
Speaker 1: I'm a stickler on that one, Hank. I had a
Speaker 1: friend of mine who was just really very serious about that.
Speaker 1: He took it very seriously. So anytime someone said July
Speaker 1: fourth holiday, he would stop and say, no, it's Independence Day.
Speaker 1: And that's an important distinction, because you're right, everybody gets
Speaker 1: to July fourth, but only we Americans get to live
Speaker 1: under the reality that we do celebrate the independence of
Speaker 1: our country and the creation of a free land. Thank
Speaker 1: you very much.
Speaker 3: So anyway, the main reason I called was you were
Speaker 3: discussing AI and aside from the whole sky net scenario,
Speaker 3: and you're talking about the unemployment going up.
Speaker 13: So all these CEOs are looking at.
Speaker 3: Replacing all these people, and there's gonna be a lot
Speaker 3: less fewer people in those high paying jobs.
Speaker 7: So who's going to buy.
Speaker 1: Their stuff another ripple?
Speaker 13: I don't think they. I don't think they thought that
Speaker 13: went out all that far.
Speaker 1: Sounds like I get it.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 1: You know that there are so many layers in this.
Speaker 1: If you look to see where the potential for artificial
Speaker 1: intelligence might lead us, there's good elements and there's some
Speaker 1: really bad elements. And I think you're right. Fewer people
Speaker 1: employed mean less money being spent on stuff and things.
Speaker 1: Stuff and things are what makes our economy run. We're
Speaker 1: a consumer driven economy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's kind of like some people refer to
Speaker 3: it as war gaming. You don't just stop and look
Speaker 3: at one conclusion and go, oh my goodness, You got
Speaker 3: to think about Okay, so what's that one gonna do?
Speaker 3: And what's the one after that one going.
Speaker 1: To do exactly?
Speaker 3: So that's I think that's what they're either if they're
Speaker 3: doing that, they're not telling us, or once again people
Speaker 3: are just falling flat on their face with not thinking ahead, and.
Speaker 13: Here we go.
Speaker 3: Well, like I said, keep in mind, there's always still
Speaker 3: the skynet egleized scenarios.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and people have been talking about that.
Speaker 13: Decide they don't need us at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've been talking about that for a long time.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I guess it's gonna have to boil down
Speaker 1: to maybe some ethical and moral discussions about Okay, we
Speaker 1: could use artificial intelligence to replace some people, but isn't
Speaker 1: it better to have those people employed and busy and
Speaker 1: doing something, even if it's running on the hamster wheel
Speaker 1: to keep them out of trouble, you know, idle hands
Speaker 1: of the devil's workshop. And if you get ten to
Speaker 1: twenty percent of the population that's completely unemployed and not
Speaker 1: employable because artificial intelligence has well taken away their employment opportunity,
Speaker 1: that could create some societal unrest. You think. It reminds
Speaker 1: me that I can't remember who it was one of
Speaker 1: our former presidents. I think maybe William Howard Taff anyway
Speaker 1: goes to a third world country and they're building a
Speaker 1: big project. It's a construction project. I don't know, maybe
Speaker 1: like a canal or whatever that happened to be. And
Speaker 1: he observed that already had pick axes and shovels, so
Speaker 1: why don't you use modern equipment like bulldozers and machinery
Speaker 1: to get this job done quicker and more efficiently. In
Speaker 1: the response from the elected officials or authorities, there was
Speaker 1: this isn't a public works project, it's a jobs project.
Speaker 1: In other words, they wanted to keep those folks busy
Speaker 1: with pick axes and shovels rather than to have one
Speaker 1: guy doing the work of twenty with a bulldozer, because
Speaker 1: it kept them busy. I think maybe the theory behind
Speaker 1: the behind the Civilian Conservation Corps and the WPA back
Speaker 1: in the nineteen forties, don't know, but lost the contemplate
Speaker 1: on AI and that's a topic that is not going
Speaker 1: away anytime soon. Keep your popcorn out. Six twenty five
Speaker 1: Tech Thursday. Speaking of tech things, they've had to join
Speaker 1: the program up next. After I mentioned plumb type plumbing,
Speaker 1: plumbing done right. They know you deserve better. They deliver
Speaker 1: on better. Why would you hire some inferior plumber when
Speaker 1: you get the great folks, superior customer service and outstanding
Speaker 1: expertise of the licensed plumbers of Plumb Type Plumbing. It's
Speaker 1: always plumbing done right and they live by that motto.
Speaker 1: A plus is the better business bureau. Of course, they
Speaker 1: don't charge a service fee, they provide free estimates, and
Speaker 1: they are the Tri State's number one installer of tankless
Speaker 1: water heaters, which is a great way to go because
Speaker 1: the water never stops hot water galore. There eat no
Speaker 1: tank to run dry like instantly produces hot water, uses
Speaker 1: very little space compared to a tank, and the units
Speaker 1: last longer than a traditional tank. Plus there's energy savings
Speaker 1: on top of all that. So great for growing families.
Speaker 1: So if your household has multiple bathrooms and a lot
Speaker 1: of back to back showers, tankless should be on your list.
Speaker 1: They also do trenchless sewer line repair and replacement, so
Speaker 1: they don't have to dig up your yard. Just some

Speaker 10: Here's the Sean handed Morning Minute.
Speaker 17: The Sean Diddy Combs trial. I will tell you this,
Speaker 17: this guy's a bad guy. And if you have any
Speaker 17: doubt about it, look at that video tape. You know,
Speaker 17: I honestly I cannot understand the level. And people say, well,
Speaker 17: drugs will make you do that, Well, this will make
Speaker 17: you do things.
Speaker 1: There's something so off here.
Speaker 17: There's something the whole everything that was described is so
Speaker 17: bizarre and weird and strange and perverted. And we're not
Speaker 17: protecting women in a case like this, and that's that's
Speaker 17: what is so frustrating to me.
Speaker 1: And it's like the case of Epstein.
Speaker 17: Well, where was somebody to step in and stop what
Speaker 17: was going.
Speaker 1: On in that case? And then the other people I
Speaker 1: don't you know, I don't understand it.
Speaker 16: Check out the Sean Hannity radio show later today right.
Speaker 1: Here, Hey, Sean Hannity here.
Speaker 17: And these are certainly uncertain times with everything happening overseas,
Speaker 17: we've got to be on high alert here at home.
Speaker 17: Everyone needs to go to by RNA dot com. Why
Speaker 17: I want you to see this non lethal technology that
Speaker 17: can save lives and you will see their Compact Launcher,
Speaker 17: the world's smallest, less lethal pistol launcher. Again, you can
Speaker 17: incapacitate any perpetrator, regardless of size, thirty to forty minutes.
Speaker 17: The great thing about Berner is it has kinetic rounds
Speaker 17: designed to incapacitate these people. The compact launcher is perfect
Speaker 17: for women. If you want protection and you don't want
Speaker 17: to carry a firearm, and you can put it in
Speaker 17: your person, nobody will know you have it. Berner no
Speaker 17: background check can be shipped directly to your door by
Speaker 17: RNA is trusted by all of the professionals because the
Speaker 17: technology is so superior and great alternative to lethal force.

Speaker 1: Independence Day EVE, and it's a special edition of tech Friday.
Speaker 1: We'll call it tech Thursday with Dave had it from
Speaker 1: interest I find him online and his team at interest
Speaker 1: I dot com. If you have a business, I know
Speaker 1: you have computers. Dave and the team will keep you
Speaker 1: out of trouble or get you out of the troubles
Speaker 1: you've gotten in, So count on them. The Business Courier says,
Speaker 1: interest I t is the best in the area, so
Speaker 1: interest it dot com. Dave had to welcome back and
Speaker 1: thanks for your willingness to do a special early edition
Speaker 1: of the segment.
Speaker 2: Oh it's my pleasure, Brian, and Happy Independence Day to
Speaker 2: you and Joe and all your listeners.
Speaker 1: Thanks brother, I hope you got some great plans planned.
Speaker 1: Maybe are some plans with the family or something, and
Speaker 1: enjoy that day of celebration real quick. Here this first
Speaker 1: report on Wi Fi tracking the movement in the house.
Speaker 1: I remember some years ago an article about maybe it
Speaker 1: was on Wired or something like that, about the CIA
Speaker 1: using this kind of technology to sort of look inside
Speaker 1: homes and see where people are located, or maybe it
Speaker 1: was the FBI. But this type of technology has been
Speaker 1: around a while from what I gather. I mean, you
Speaker 1: can correct me on that, but apparently Wi Fi companies
Speaker 1: can figure it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, it's not brand new, but like so
Speaker 2: many things, that continues to improve. You know, the Wi
Speaker 2: Fi standards have changed over time. They've gotten much better
Speaker 2: from a usability perspective in terms of the speed and
Speaker 2: connectivity and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: So, you know, as the.
Speaker 2: Devices that throw off their Wi Fi signals that make
Speaker 2: it possible for you to connect your other devices to
Speaker 2: them and ultimately get Internet access. And it's funny, Brian, I,
Speaker 2: you know, dealing with my family, I will frequently get
Speaker 2: Internet's down, Like.
Speaker 1: No, it's not the Wi Fi's down. What's the difference?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 1: Okay, let me let me see if I can explain
Speaker 1: this to you.
Speaker 2: The Internet connection is the pipe that puts you into
Speaker 2: the Internet right from the Internet service provider the spectrums
Speaker 2: of the world or whatever you use.
Speaker 1: That's the cable that comes from the outside to the inside.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and you know the Internet was around before
Speaker 2: Wi Fi. You could get on the Internet with a
Speaker 2: hardwired Ethernet connection, you know, into a switch to your
Speaker 2: Internet connection in the past. We know Wi Fi is
Speaker 2: relatively new, but you know that's a you can have
Speaker 2: Wi Fi. You can have a local area network that's
Speaker 2: running Wi Fi, so you're connected wirelessly without Ethernet cables
Speaker 2: for example, that does not connect to the Internet. You're
Speaker 2: gonna have an Internet connection that is not accessible over
Speaker 2: Wi Fi. But most people have Wi Fi that gives
Speaker 2: them Internet connectivity, right right. So I always like to
Speaker 2: try to explain this to people because I think it
Speaker 2: gets confusing, and it's it's the devices that create the
Speaker 2: wireless signal to throw up the radio waves that allow
Speaker 2: your devices to connect that can be used essentially like
Speaker 2: a radar sonar type of type of approach to figure.
Speaker 1: Out where you're at.
Speaker 2: And you know, Brian, unfortunately, so much of the tech
Speaker 2: that we have today, as convenient as it is and
Speaker 2: as much as it's made you know, life and business
Speaker 2: and everything much more convenient, much more efficient, much more productive,
Speaker 2: it cuts both ways because you know, if we all
Speaker 2: essentially know how radar works. I mean I'm not an engineer,
Speaker 2: but you throw out a radio signal, it bounces off things, right.
Speaker 1: And A you know there's something there.
Speaker 2: B you know how far away it is, see, you
Speaker 2: know how fast it's moving. I mean, this is essentially
Speaker 2: a form of that, you know, and obviously an unintended
Speaker 2: consequence of all this technology. I'm pretty sure no one
Speaker 2: had the idea when they invented this to hey, let's
Speaker 2: put this out there and make it real convenient for
Speaker 2: people so we can track them in their house, you know.
Speaker 1: Right, but you know they pass it off or market
Speaker 1: it as a future It's extinity gateway, for example, allows
Speaker 1: you to get notifications about if there is activity going
Speaker 1: on in your house. So if you're out of town
Speaker 1: and you get one of these push notifications like wait
Speaker 1: a second, my WiFi has detected that someone's walking around
Speaker 1: inside my house.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you think about it, it really could
Speaker 2: be sort of a cheap form of burglar alarm, right.
Speaker 2: You know, it's not necessarily going to know that a
Speaker 2: window is broken or a door was opened, but it
Speaker 2: could definitely, based on this research that's out there, know
Speaker 2: that there are people or animals where something is moving
Speaker 2: around in the house because it's interfering with those Wi
Speaker 2: Fi signals.
Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this, Is it like a
Speaker 1: bat with echo location where it is bouncing the Wi
Speaker 1: Fi signal off of something and then getting a response
Speaker 1: to it like, well that's a shorter distance, there's someone there.
Speaker 1: Or is it interference between the Wi Fi device and
Speaker 1: some other device that's attached to it, like a mass
Speaker 1: system or one of these Internet of Things devices.
Speaker 2: That's a good question, and at the most technical level,
Speaker 2: I'm not really sure, Brian, I think it's probably the former,
Speaker 2: because in theory, you might not have any other devices.
Speaker 1: Connected to it.
Speaker 2: And I'm pretty sure it would still work because it's
Speaker 2: throwing out a signal, right, But I'm not one hundred
Speaker 2: percent certain on if it would require a second device
Speaker 2: that's connected. Let's say a smart TV for example, Right,
Speaker 2: I might have a smart TV in one room. I
Speaker 2: got the Internet connection coming in in a different room.
Speaker 2: The Wi Fi router is in that room. Clearly, if
Speaker 2: there's interference between those two devices, you could know that.
Speaker 2: But I don't think that's the way it works. And
Speaker 2: then again, I don't really know what. I'm just speculating
Speaker 2: because Exfinity, for example, might depending on how you have
Speaker 2: that set up or whoever your internet service provider is
Speaker 2: it's providing the service, may not necessarily know what you
Speaker 2: have connected to that device on the outside. If it's
Speaker 2: all their equipment, they could know that, but they may
Speaker 2: not know that. Wow, well, but it's wild tech.
Speaker 1: It sure is. And they said it's smart enough to
Speaker 1: even know when a small dog or cat is moving around.
Speaker 1: Affarent you can program it to ignore small pets from
Speaker 1: providing a So it's already factored that in and then
Speaker 1: an ominous ending to the article without further explanation. Oh
Speaker 1: did you know that you don't even have to move
Speaker 1: for the machines to be able to see you. All
Speaker 1: you have to do is breathe, and that's where the
Speaker 1: article ends. Creepy stuff. Dave had or pause from them,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be talking about artificial intelligence going after
Speaker 1: your wallet. That'll be sixty if if you've got krc
Speaker 1: DE talk station a little YYZ there for Tech Friday's
Speaker 1: Dave Hatter satisfying your rush needs there, Dave, great song,
Speaker 1: phenomenal song. Anyway, artificial intelligence going after your wallet. I
Speaker 1: read a really disturbing piece out of the Wall Street
Speaker 1: Journal this morning. Some of the facts run about how
Speaker 1: much artificial intelligence is going to cause people to become unemployed.
Speaker 1: But moving away from that, I guess it's well going
Speaker 1: after our wallet? In what way is this happening? Dave Hatter? Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is interesting.
Speaker 2: First off, Brian, I'm not I'm so sure about this
Speaker 2: unemployment stuff in the short run, and I'll tell you why,
Speaker 2: and it connects into this story. So let me give
Speaker 2: you two other quick headlines that are relative to what
Speaker 2: we're about to talk about hair, and I think it
Speaker 2: kind of helps paint the picture of what I'm going
Speaker 2: to say, which is there's an enormous amount of hype
Speaker 2: around this stuff at the moment, but a lot of
Speaker 2: it does not do what it's purported to do. So
Speaker 2: here's in the headline from Axives, top AI models will lie, cheat,
Speaker 2: and steel to reach goals, Anthropic finds. And then from
Speaker 2: the Register top AI models even American ones parrot Chinese propaganda,
Speaker 2: report finds. And then there's a third story that recently
Speaker 2: came out last week where Anthropic basically set up a
Speaker 2: vending machine and tried to have an AI sort of
Speaker 2: run it like a business, you know, manage the inventory
Speaker 2: and all that sort of thing, and it failed pretty miserably.
Speaker 2: So again I'm not saying first off, I don't know
Speaker 2: what's in some lab somewhere, as I tell people all
Speaker 2: the time. And secondarily, you know, this stuff has continued
Speaker 2: to improve, especially the generative AI tools that can generate
Speaker 2: video and that sort of thing. And I'm very concerned
Speaker 2: about the deep fake aspect of all this. But when
Speaker 2: you when you really look at this and you get
Speaker 2: past the hype, I'm not entirely. Sure, we're on the
Speaker 2: cusp of all being unemployed because of AI in the
Speaker 2: immediate future. That said, there's something out there called agentic
Speaker 2: AI or AI agents. Well, you know, people say it
Speaker 2: both ways, and what it basically boils down to is
Speaker 2: the ability to script things, to automate things, to say, Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm going to set up this AI agent and I'm
Speaker 2: going to have it do things on my behalf without
Speaker 2: me needing to sit there and prompt it. You know,
Speaker 2: I'm not actively engaged with it, typing and things telling
Speaker 2: it to do. It's been given some sort of goal
Speaker 2: or objective and it just goes and does it right.
Speaker 2: And you know, I think that's where you will potentially
Speaker 2: see and if you future, as these things improve, some
Speaker 2: people may be impacted by that. And I'm also not
Speaker 2: trying to say no one has lost their job as
Speaker 2: a result of any of this yet, because some of
Speaker 2: these gender AI tools.
Speaker 1: Can do a lot of things.
Speaker 2: But again, when you leave them off to their own
Speaker 2: devices and you say, okay, I'm gonna let this do
Speaker 2: something on my behalf doesn't generally seem to work that well.
Speaker 2: And the idea and that this whole article is about
Speaker 2: the idea that perhaps you might give one of these
Speaker 2: augentic ais access to your bank accounts or to your
Speaker 2: retirement accounts and have it do things like watch the
Speaker 2: market and move your stocks around, yeah, or for example,
Speaker 2: look for cheaper deals on your behalf when you go
Speaker 2: to buy something. And as the author points out in here,
Speaker 2: that has a lot of potential downside, because first off,
Speaker 2: all of these things hallucinate.
Speaker 1: We know that it's a known fact.
Speaker 2: So if I ask it to find me a better
Speaker 2: deal on something, is it possible that, either because of
Speaker 2: just some mistake or a hallucination, it actually spends more
Speaker 2: money than I would have wanted it to because it
Speaker 2: doesn't really find the best deal, or it doesn't make
Speaker 2: the right stock investment decision or whatever. And then you know,
Speaker 2: as the author points out, and I encourage people to
Speaker 2: read this, it's really interesting. And I can tell you, Brian,
Speaker 2: because I know we'll run out of time. There was
Speaker 2: absolutely no chance, no chance whatsoever, I would give any
Speaker 2: sort of agentic AI access to any of my financial
Speaker 2: anything and ask it to act on my behalf.
Speaker 1: There is just no way I would trust that. At
Speaker 1: this point, there's no way of having a legal fiduciary
Speaker 1: obligation for a computer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, when it goes bad somehow, Well, who's responsible
Speaker 2: for that?
Speaker 1: And who do you do? What do you do?
Speaker 2: How do you get your money back? But as this
Speaker 2: person points out, well, how would you know that you're
Speaker 2: not being suddenly manipulated to do things that aren't in
Speaker 2: your best interest even though you think it's working on
Speaker 2: your behalf? So yeah, I'm again, Brian, I'm not saying
Speaker 2: we won't get to a point where A I would
Speaker 2: trust this stuff, and b it's not doing a lot more.
Speaker 2: But Gardner, big industry think tank, just recently put out
Speaker 2: a headline I'll send it to you man, we can
Speaker 2: talk about it next week. That is, you know, some
Speaker 2: very large percentage of projects using these technologies are faded
Speaker 2: or are failing and will be killed off in the
Speaker 2: next year. So I'm not saying this stuff isn't gonna
Speaker 2: it's not coming.
Speaker 1: It's not ready for prime time right now. That's that's
Speaker 1: writing for primetime.
Speaker 2: And there is no way I would trust any sort
Speaker 2: of agentic AI to do anything serious on my behalf.
Speaker 1: Fair enough, go back to have it writing fun punk
Speaker 1: songs for you on your topics here baster will bring
Speaker 1: Dave back. Apparently a judge allowed artificial intelligence testimony from
Speaker 1: a dead man de talk station Brian Thomas with interest
Speaker 1: its Dave had or interest it dot com say reached
Speaker 1: Dave and the team. Uh this this next story about
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence video testimony from a dead guy to let
Speaker 1: you give the details. But on the heels of this
Speaker 1: judge Ahmed Meta, an Obama appointee, show cause order was
Speaker 1: issued against a lawyer that appeared in front of her
Speaker 1: submitting a case, submitting a brief that had a case
Speaker 1: that didn't exist. They used artificial intelligence, apparently, and created
Speaker 1: out of whole cloth a fake case called Moms against
Speaker 1: Poverty versus the Department of State that the lawyer used
Speaker 1: in trying to establish jurisdiction in this particular court. So
Speaker 1: the show cause order, like why you shouldn't be held
Speaker 1: in contempt for lying to the court, basically given her
Speaker 1: an opportunity to explain herself. But that happens all the time.
Speaker 1: They call it AI hallucinations.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brian hallucinations or confabulations. Hallucination is generally the more
Speaker 2: common term you'll hear in regard to these generative AI tools.
Speaker 2: Just literally making something up is one of the main
Speaker 2: reasons why again I'm stuck on. I don't think you're
Speaker 2: going to see enormous job loss anytime soon, because at
Speaker 2: some point, if you're using a tool and you can't
Speaker 2: explain when it's going to make something up, and you
Speaker 2: can't even necessarily know for sure that it did make
Speaker 2: something up, because often they'll argue with you, you know, and
Speaker 2: try to tell you whatever it came up with this correct.
Speaker 2: It wants to please. You know, if I've got to
Speaker 2: go do a whole bunch of research only to find
Speaker 2: out that what it told me is false, well why
Speaker 2: wouldn't I just do it myself in the first place?
Speaker 1: You know, Well, if it provides you with a draft
Speaker 1: letter version of a brief, for example, you know I've
Speaker 1: joked and passed you when my first letter to opposing
Speaker 1: counsel after hanging the phone a phone call up in anger,
Speaker 1: is this explative written piece of prose that I never
Speaker 1: would sign. Get it out of my system, then I
Speaker 1: start editing. So but it does the laboring, or of
Speaker 1: least the template. So in that situation, you have a
Speaker 1: generator brief for you want to submit to the court.
Speaker 1: You have an allegation as an attorney to go pull
Speaker 1: up each and every one of the cases cited on
Speaker 1: West Law or Lexus Nex's and find out if it's
Speaker 1: real and it's accurately depicted in the brief that it
Speaker 1: turned out for you. There's still work to be done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I want to be clear to folks, I'm
Speaker 2: not saying these tools don't have any value when you
Speaker 2: understand what their limitations are. Again, I'm a big fan
Speaker 2: of rock, very very helpful. It saves me a lot
Speaker 2: of time. But I also typically start out with things
Speaker 2: that I already know something about and can quickly gauge
Speaker 2: how accurate is what it told me? Right, it's completely
Speaker 2: complete confabulation or is this let's say, eighty percent correct?
Speaker 2: But a lot of times people will But getting back
Speaker 2: to this idea of fully augentic AI, I'm not sitting
Speaker 2: there directly interacting with it. I've set it up and
Speaker 2: it's off doing things.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: Imagine if it was automatically submitting briefs for you that
Speaker 2: you didn't read first, right, or it was changing your
Speaker 2: bank account, as we discussed in the last segment. But
Speaker 2: so again, you know you can't you just can't trust
Speaker 2: this stuff at this point, and whether it's seven percent
Speaker 2: wrong or seventeen percent wrong, can you can you afford
Speaker 2: to have something seventeen percent wrong on a regular basis
Speaker 2: and without knowing when it's going to be. But the
Speaker 2: generative AI capabilities continue to advance. I think this is
Speaker 2: really interesting. Apparently a guy was killed in a road
Speaker 2: rage incident and his sister used generative AI. I think
Speaker 2: we've talked about it before. I encourage people to go
Speaker 2: check out Google VO three and see what it can do.
Speaker 2: It can create incredibly realistic looking stuff at this so much.
Speaker 1: That being posted online these days, it's it's wild.
Speaker 2: And you know, my big concern at the moment is
Speaker 2: less about what you know, what's the employment impact, and
Speaker 2: more around people don't understand how good these tools are
Speaker 2: and how easy it is to create incredibly realistic audio
Speaker 2: and or video. You can so in this case you
Speaker 2: really can't. You really can't, And go see what VO
Speaker 2: three can do and you'll see what I mean. But
Speaker 2: this woman created used one of these tools to create
Speaker 2: a video of the victim in this case used in
Speaker 2: in court. Apparently it's the first time known instance that
Speaker 2: this has happened anyway, And you know, as you and
Speaker 2: I have discussed for years since this has become a
Speaker 2: recurring topic, you know, what does this sort of technology
Speaker 2: mean for court? Whether it's something like this, and this
Speaker 2: gets into you know, even if you don't have an
Speaker 2: issue with someone basically creating an avatar of a diseased
Speaker 2: person and using that for whatever purposes, in a case
Speaker 2: like this, you know, would that person give their consent?
Speaker 2: Once you're dead, you can't really consent anymore to how
Speaker 2: someone might.
Speaker 1: Use your likeness with these tools.
Speaker 2: So there's an interesting ethical and moral aspect to this.
Speaker 1: Obviously.
Speaker 2: You know, it would have the potential to create an
Speaker 2: emotional reaction from people in court, like if you if
Speaker 2: you had a child that was killed and you use
Speaker 2: this technology to create some sort of video of that child,
Speaker 2: you know that would have impact on jurors.
Speaker 1: And this was that a sentencing hearing. The friends and
Speaker 1: family were testifying about how has a death impacted them,
Speaker 1: and that's something that they regularly consider it sentencing. But
Speaker 1: this is a whole cloth artificial intelligence. I'm a good
Speaker 1: video of the dead guy testifying at the sentencing hearing,
Speaker 1: and I'm surprised that the court accepted it and allowed it.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that there we're objections from a defense counsel
Speaker 1: on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I mean, you're the attorney in this conversation.
Speaker 1: I'm with you. It's wild, but it just.
Speaker 2: Shows you, you know, we are sort of in the
Speaker 2: wild West of all of this technology. And my concern
Speaker 2: with so much of it is, you know, as a
Speaker 2: guy who spent a lot of time writing code and
Speaker 2: making mistakes and building software that had problems. You know,
Speaker 2: I know you have very smart people in large companies
Speaker 2: with deep pockets building this stuff, testing this stuff, but
Speaker 2: it's just not ready for prime time yet. And I
Speaker 2: even more so than my concerns about the tech itself,
Speaker 2: is the impact on people who don't understand how good
Speaker 2: this stuff is, how rapidly it's advancing, and how readily
Speaker 2: accessible it is to people who have bad intent for you, you know,
Speaker 2: stealing your mondy, defrauding you through the use of whether
Speaker 2: it's incredibly well crafted emails, it's audio, it's video, it's
Speaker 2: some combination of all of the above.
Speaker 1: And what would ten years.
Speaker 2: Ago have been an impossible scam because you wouldn't have
Speaker 2: access to the technology to create this very realistic stuff
Speaker 2: to now you know any criminal anywhere in the world
Speaker 2: has access to this stuff, and you know your data
Speaker 2: has been leaked all over the place. It's easy to
Speaker 2: find you, it's easy to reach you using these tools.
Speaker 2: So yeah, you said it before. You can't believe you can't.
Speaker 2: You have to trust nothing and verify everything because you
Speaker 2: simply can't believe your eyes.
Speaker 1: Any frightening, frightening, frightening seven o six Here if you
Speaker 1: about gar Ced Talk Station, A very happy Independence Day
Speaker 1: to you. Please to see it worked out for us.
Speaker 1: I'm happy. Introduced to the fifty five KRCY Morning Show
Speaker 1: to talk about her book, The Ultimate Vaccine Timeline, a
Speaker 1: fact packed history of vaccines and their makers. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the fifty five CARSY Morning Show. Shas Khan a London
Speaker 1: born Swiss creator, designer, information junking, critical thinker, obsessed for
Speaker 1: some reason. We'll find out why with Vaccines. Graduated from
Speaker 1: a Central Saint Martin College of Art and Design with
Speaker 1: a BA and Product Design complemented or education with certification,
Speaker 1: certifications and courses of nutrition, marketing, communications, anatomy, physiology and
Speaker 1: immunal biology as well as vaccinology. Shaskhan it is a
Speaker 1: pleasure to have you on the fifty five KRS Morning Show.
Speaker 14: Hi Brian, thanks so much for having me.
Speaker 1: All Right, with your interesting background, I mean, you didn't
Speaker 1: get to medical school and you didn't become a scientist
Speaker 1: research scientist, how is it you parlayed your background into
Speaker 1: this profound interest in vaccines, which led, of course to
Speaker 1: your publication of the book The Ultimate Vaccine Timeline.
Speaker 14: I've always had a passion for science, and I almost
Speaker 14: did biology as a major in university and then went
Speaker 14: to art. But the reason why I decided to look
Speaker 14: into this is because simply I had a personal tragedy
Speaker 14: in my life. My father passed away two months after
Speaker 14: a flu shot, and there were just lots of rag
Speaker 14: flags that went up for me because he was diagnosed
Speaker 14: with stage four lung cancer. He never smoked, it was
Speaker 14: pretty healthy, but in hospital all his symptoms were neurological.
Speaker 14: So I just was a bit confused, and I didn't
Speaker 14: know anything about vaccines, and I'm not a parent either.
Speaker 14: Some vaccines went on my radar, but after that incident,
Speaker 14: basically I started asking questions, went and read the package,
Speaker 14: and start was surprised to find out the neurological injuries
Speaker 14: were actually acknowledged and recognized after flu vaccines, And that
Speaker 14: just got me started reading and then going down the
Speaker 14: rabbit hole in libraries and national archives in the UK
Speaker 14: and in Switzerland.
Speaker 1: Wow. Tragedies like that, somehow often in up bearing fruit
Speaker 1: in the form of providing the rest of us with
Speaker 1: information it's actually being hidden. We learned a lot about this,
Speaker 1: you know, the behind the scenes read search and the
Speaker 1: studies and the outcomes that the pharmaceutical companiesknew about. Most notably,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking obviously about the COVID nineteen vaccine, but they
Speaker 1: didn't disclose it to the American people, and they got this
Speaker 1: emergency use authorization which prevents them from being sued for
Speaker 1: this what I would argue was a holy whole cloth
Speaker 1: experimental vaccine. And then we find out, like you, when
Speaker 1: you go to find out what the story is and
Speaker 1: what the realities are and is there any causal connection
Speaker 1: between my daughter or my son having a heart attack
Speaker 1: at age twelve with these vaccines, they don't want to
Speaker 1: give you the information. So did you run in any
Speaker 1: brick walls trying to discover information on these vaccines?
Speaker 14: On COVID specifically, yes, like I think everybody else, and
Speaker 14: I think it's also because there's relatively recent, so we're
Speaker 14: still going to have to be patient and wait for
Speaker 14: a while before all the information comes out. But a
Speaker 14: lot of information is already available. But for the other
Speaker 14: vaccines and then the archives, the only roadblock I came
Speaker 14: against is there are lots of documents that are still
Speaker 14: protected by by the freedom of information. To that I mean, sorry,
Speaker 14: you can't get access to them with the freedom of
Speaker 14: information that because they're still protected. So some of the
Speaker 14: requests that I made through the National Archives, some I
Speaker 14: got through to and others I couldn't get access to.
Speaker 14: And I'll try again, I guess, in five years, to
Speaker 14: get access to these documents. So these are documents from
Speaker 14: the government, like internal minutes from the meetings, different reports
Speaker 14: that they might have received. And I could get access
Speaker 14: to documents from the eighties, but documents that are more
Speaker 14: recent and I say recent with like you know, comments
Speaker 14: comments from the nineties that I still couldn't get a
Speaker 14: hold of. So that's the only roadblock that I came
Speaker 14: across at the moment, because otherwise a lot of information
Speaker 14: is out there is just a question of really digging
Speaker 14: in and having to go find it, and most people
Speaker 14: don't want to do that in libraries.
Speaker 1: Well, and your book is a historical one too, because
Speaker 1: I mean, as I read it spans over fifteen hundred years.
Speaker 1: Have vaccines been around that long?
Speaker 14: Well, vaccines in the way that we understand them haven't
Speaker 14: been around that long. But the concept of variolation, which
Speaker 14: is the concept of giving someone a controlled like in
Speaker 14: back in the days, it was smallpox, so that was
Speaker 14: like they would either blow dried scabs up your nose
Speaker 14: or try to scrape it into an open wound, superficial
Speaker 14: wound on your arm. That's been around for almost like
Speaker 14: one than three hundred years. We don't have any definitive
Speaker 14: records where it started, but it's believed to have started
Speaker 14: in Asia and then come over to Europe and then
Speaker 14: buy the seventeen hundreds, late seventeen hundreds was in Europe,
Speaker 14: and it was banned eventually in the mid eighteen hundreds
Speaker 14: because it was known to be a pretty dangerous procedure.
Speaker 14: It could transmit all kinds of other infections and people
Speaker 14: could get like a crossed arms. And that was replaced
Speaker 14: with vaccination, which is the concept that Basically Edward Jenner
Speaker 14: in the UK brought up which is using cowbox to
Speaker 14: rarely against to vaccinate against the small pox.
Speaker 1: Now, did you reach any determination as to whether there
Speaker 1: were particular categories of vaccines that were quote unquote safe
Speaker 1: versus those that you personally wouldn't use because you fear
Speaker 1: how they are manufacturing. I think, and you're not talking
Speaker 1: to a doctor or a virologist or a and I
Speaker 1: don't play one on radio, but mRNA technology sounds to
Speaker 1: me from what I've read, they've known about this type
Speaker 1: of technology behind the scenes, but they've never launched any
Speaker 1: major pharmaceutical drugs based on that technology because there was
Speaker 1: a lot of risk associated with it. And then along
Speaker 1: comes COVID and that's the technology they use for the
Speaker 1: COVID vaccines. Is there something inherently concerning about that type
Speaker 1: of technology mRNA?
Speaker 14: Well, what's concerning about that type of technology is something
Speaker 14: completely new and was initially used in the concept of
Speaker 14: cancer treatment. So obviously you had various dick patients who
Speaker 14: didn't have much other recourse than mRNA was a real
Speaker 14: option because it didn't have any other options. The first
Speaker 14: mRNA critical trial for the infractious disease wasn't until twenty
Speaker 14: thirteen and it was done by kure Vacu in Germany
Speaker 14: and it wasn't even very successful. They sold the results
Speaker 14: in one hundred people and it wasn't very wasn't very promising.
Speaker 14: So the fact that they're using this techology which turns
Speaker 14: people cells into a protein spike creating factory is incredibly
Speaker 14: because we don't know how long the protein is going
Speaker 14: to be expressed, we don't know how many you know,
Speaker 14: spike proteins you're creating. That could be explaining as well
Speaker 14: why we see such a huge different types of problems
Speaker 14: like from myocarditis to blood cloths, to respiraty issues, to
Speaker 14: weird skins issues and neurological diseases. So for me, it's
Speaker 14: definitely a technology that is incredibly concerning. To have launched
Speaker 14: it like this on a mass scale under an emergency
Speaker 14: youth authorization is incredibly concerning.
Speaker 1: Well, some would say criminal, and there in lines of
Speaker 1: the challenge, because you know, we had this, oh my god,
Speaker 1: we're all going to die global pandemic on our hands,
Speaker 1: and so people were inclined to pretty much like a
Speaker 1: cancer patient with no resources or no other options, go
Speaker 1: with whatever option is available. It almost seems like we
Speaker 1: were all in that circumstance. But if Pfizer or the
Speaker 1: pharmaceutical manufacturers of these mrn NA technologies knew themselves that
Speaker 1: there were risks and substantial risks compared to other f
Speaker 1: like FDA approved drugs, what's with the rush to judgment
Speaker 1: and getting it out into the world. Is there something
Speaker 1: nefarious behind that or is just the old fashioned profit motive?
Speaker 14: Well, obviously profit motive is one of them, because Fiser
Speaker 14: made a huge amount of money with their their vaccine,
Speaker 14: But I don't understand why the government would back that
Speaker 14: up because the profit motive doesn't really apply.
Speaker 1: For them exactly.
Speaker 14: So unfortunately, I would speculate that there's something either they
Speaker 14: wanted to see how we would comply. It was a
Speaker 14: social experiment, or there is something in that vaccine that
Speaker 14: will discover down the line at some point that was
Speaker 14: again tested to see how it could react in people.
Speaker 14: And so that's that's my speculation because I have no
Speaker 14: way of confirming.
Speaker 1: So one big massive stage one clinical trial on the
Speaker 1: global population basically.
Speaker 14: Pretty much i'd say stage two, stage three, maybe Stage
Speaker 14: one is usually only one hundred people but yeah, definitely
Speaker 14: an experiment in a mass scale.
Speaker 1: All right now, in so far as other vaccines are concerned,
Speaker 1: moving away from the mRNA COVID vaccine, I am not
Speaker 1: a complete anti vaxxer. I know there are folks out
Speaker 1: there that are saying hell not of vaccines that you know,
Speaker 1: autism is a big concern, But I'm happy that we
Speaker 1: don't have rooms full of hundreds of iron lungs, which
Speaker 1: is what people need when they got polio. And the
Speaker 1: polio vaccines who seems to have been wildly successful like
Speaker 1: a lot of other vaccines, is have you reach any
Speaker 1: conclusions about some of these long standing drugs or vaccines
Speaker 1: that we are usually regularly getting.
Speaker 13: Well.
Speaker 14: For me, polio was definitely one of the biggest shockers
Speaker 14: because if anybody has read Dissolving Illusions by doctor Susann
Speaker 14: Humphries and Roman Diystrionic, that goes into explaining very well
Speaker 14: the misconceptions that we had around the polio vaccine being
Speaker 14: so effective. And I'll tell you two things, is they
Speaker 14: changed the definition of polio when the vaccine came out,
Speaker 14: and they also changed this funny because you see often
Speaker 14: the same playbook like they defined people who were vaccinated
Speaker 14: as unvaccinated because they hadn't they received polio or they
Speaker 14: had polio. Sorry, within two weeks of getting the vaccines,
Speaker 14: they were able to pull them uninocylated, which everyone knows
Speaker 14: is what actions happened exactly with COVID vaccine and polio
Speaker 14: as well. Nobody looked into really understanding what the causes were.
Speaker 14: There were lots of people at the time who were
Speaker 14: stiging the alarm about DDT so pesticides that were being
Speaker 14: used and the reason why it was more prominent in summertime.
Speaker 14: And the polio vaccine itself was also very problematic. I
Speaker 14: mean it caused polio. That's why very quickly in the
Speaker 14: nineteen sixties, who shifted to the oral polio, which was
Speaker 14: the sugar cube live VERSI yeah, but even that also
Speaker 14: caused problems. So I was my bubble basically burst when
Speaker 14: I looked into polio because I came out of this,
Speaker 14: you know, when I approached this research very four vaccines,
Speaker 14: believing what we were told, and the polio vaccine basically
Speaker 14: burst that bubble, and I had to realize that, hang
Speaker 14: on a minute, they've been telling us the bunch of propaganda.
Speaker 14: In my opinion.
Speaker 1: So hmm, well, I would just think by the global
Speaker 1: numbers of people with polio compared to where they were,
Speaker 1: well say, at the turn of the century, last last century,
Speaker 1: obviously there's a reduction in a number of polio cases
Speaker 1: out there. I don't want to support, go ahead.
Speaker 14: Yeah, So I was just going to say, what's interesting
Speaker 14: about polio as an infectious disease, Like all the other
Speaker 14: infectious diseases were pretty high in the beginning of the
Speaker 14: twentieth century, like you know, measles and justice and dipteria,
Speaker 14: but polio came out of nowhere. It was very interesting,
Speaker 14: like there was zero, zero cases and then suddenly nineteen
Speaker 14: sixteen there was an epidemic in New York City and
Speaker 14: then there were some spikes. But essentially polio pretty much
Speaker 14: came out of nowhere. So it looks like it was
Speaker 14: more of an environmental thing that was causing these problems.
Speaker 14: And there's also something called provocation poliomylitis, which was known
Speaker 14: to be caused after DTP vaccine and smallpox vaccine, they
Speaker 14: knew that getting vaccines the kids could actually create polio,
Speaker 14: and that's in the documentation and that I show in
Speaker 14: my book.
Speaker 1: Oh that's frightening. And is this and this is information.
Speaker 1: It's all well documented, I mean obviously not readily available
Speaker 1: to you or I. And you walk into your you
Speaker 1: take your kid into a pediatrician's office, it's just a
Speaker 1: matter of course. Well it's time at the polios, you know, sugar,
Speaker 1: it's time to get the measles and mumps vaccine, and
Speaker 1: no one really stops and discusses the potential downside risk
Speaker 1: of this. I don't recall that ever happening with my children.
Speaker 14: No, no, they don't. But the information is readily available,
Speaker 14: but as I said, often it's available only through libraries
Speaker 14: or through paywalls of medical articles that most people don't
Speaker 14: have access to. So I have tried to put as
Speaker 14: much information in the book and also the website that
Speaker 14: will a company. It will give links to people so
Speaker 14: that if they want to go and find out more,
Speaker 14: they'll have, you know, places to go and look. But no,
Speaker 14: this information isn't like it's not on the vaccine information
Speaker 14: sheets given by the CBC. That's for sure.
Speaker 1: Frightening stuff. Well, I'm glad we have you out there.
Speaker 1: Chez Khan, author of The Ultimate Vaccine Timeline of Fact
Speaker 1: Back History of vaccines in the makers for we part
Speaker 1: company this morning, and I've enjoyed our conversation very enlightening.
Speaker 1: Is there some one thing that specifically jumps out at
Speaker 1: you if you had to let my listening audience know
Speaker 1: of some terrible or crazy fact you learn when compiling
Speaker 1: all this information, something immediately jumped to mine.
Speaker 14: Well, apart from the polio issues, for me, I wasn't
Speaker 14: aware of the vaccine Injury Compensation program when I started
Speaker 14: my research. Oh yes, those who don't know. Since nineteen
Speaker 14: eighty nine, over eleven thousand cases of vaccine the harm
Speaker 14: have been compensated for over five billion US dollars and
Speaker 14: it concerns mainly mainly the flu vaccine, with the DTP
Speaker 14: being a close second or third position. But this I
Speaker 14: wasn't aware of because obviously my dad passed away after
Speaker 14: the flu vaccines, and I was quite shocked to see
Speaker 14: that that was already seen as one of the most
Speaker 14: compensated cases in the vaccine injury Compensation program.
Speaker 1: Well, condolence is on your loss, your father, and I'm
Speaker 1: glad you did the research to track it down and
Speaker 1: I appreciate you putting it all together in the Ultimate
Speaker 1: Vaccine timeline. My listeners can easily get a copy of

Speaker 1: Seven three fifty five kr c E talk station, EH,
Speaker 1: very happy Independence Day eight you have you have some
Speaker 1: great plans tomorrow, and keep your eyes peeled. Federal officials
Speaker 1: are warning there's some a lot of concerns swirling around
Speaker 1: out there about lone wolves as a consequence of the Israeli,
Speaker 1: Iranian and United States participation in that conflict. Department of
Speaker 1: Homeland Security said the agency's working closely with the FBI
Speaker 1: and of the federal, state, local law enforcement partners to
Speaker 1: ensure a safe and secure Independence Day. But basically they
Speaker 1: want you to keep your eyes peeled. And isn't it
Speaker 1: an interesting reality when a pretty much a defund the
Speaker 1: police kind of mentality leftist like New York Governor Kathley
Speaker 1: Hochel is now embracing the concept of law enforcement being
Speaker 1: there for us. She says she's been brief constantly over
Speaker 1: the previous few weeks on the current threat landscape, given
Speaker 1: height intentions around the world. Quote our federal partners reiterated
Speaker 1: yesterday that lone wolf factors remain the greatest potential threat,
Speaker 1: including during the upcoming July fourth holiday that will be
Speaker 1: called Independence Day. Miss Hochel, keeping New Yorker safe is
Speaker 1: my top priority, especially as families gather to celebrate this
Speaker 1: holiday weekend. She said. New York's law enforcement personnel have
Speaker 1: already been an increased alert posture following the recent conflict
Speaker 1: into the least, but in my direction, State police will
Speaker 1: have an increased presence at large events throughout the state
Speaker 1: will be closely coordinating with local and federal enforcement partners
Speaker 1: to ensure the safety of all involved. National Guard personnel
Speaker 1: also remain deployed at our major transportation hubs, as well
Speaker 1: as key bridges and tunnels within New York City. We're
Speaker 1: already actively monitoring social media activity and continue to be
Speaker 1: on a high alert for any cyber threats. So law
Speaker 1: enforcement good, and I'm not going to argue with the
Speaker 1: fact that law enforcement's good. But you know, it's nice
Speaker 1: and convenient, isn't it. When you want to project safety
Speaker 1: to your people, you want to get out in front
Speaker 1: of something, You hire the folks on the front line
Speaker 1: to do the job, and then you'll take credit for it.
Speaker 1: And guess who's not going to get a day off.
Speaker 1: Guess who's not going to be relaxing comfortably in their
Speaker 1: own home tomorrow during the hopefully just festivities. But amid
Speaker 1: all the riots and violence and everything else that's going
Speaker 1: on in the world, the potential for terrorist threats are
Speaker 1: men and women in law enforcement, federal, local, whoever they
Speaker 1: may be. I'm not going to overlook those in the

Speaker 1: organization called First Step Home, which you can find out
Speaker 1: information on your own by going to the website first
Speaker 1: Step home dot com. And please to welcome to the
Speaker 1: fifty five cars Morning Show. Morgan Gibson. She's part of
Speaker 1: the management team. Morgan, Welcome to the fifty five Carsite
Speaker 1: Morning Show. It's a pleasure having you on today.
Speaker 20: Good morning, Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm excited to let my listeners know and let
Speaker 1: you let my listeners know what you're doing there at
Speaker 1: the First Step Home, which is I guess you're unique
Speaker 1: in that you are an addiction treatment center, but you're
Speaker 1: the only ones in the area that allow children up
Speaker 1: to age twelve to live with their mothers while they're
Speaker 1: getting treatment.
Speaker 14: We do.
Speaker 8: We do.
Speaker 21: We are providing gender specific care, and we have specific
Speaker 21: programming for our pregnant, postpartum and parenting women.
Speaker 1: Well, I suppose, and you can correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: A lot of the reason people I'll call it self
Speaker 1: medicaid and quite often get addicted is because they have
Speaker 1: some underlying psychological struggle or issue that they're dealing with,
Speaker 1: and so rather than trying to wrestle through it with
Speaker 1: therapy or which is the kind of thing you're providing,
Speaker 1: it's easier just to mask it with the booze or
Speaker 1: the drugs. And I but along those lines, and again,
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong in my understanding. But if
Speaker 1: you're a mother and you're taken away from your children,
Speaker 1: why you're getting treatment, that seems it might exacerbate the
Speaker 1: underlying men mental health challenges you may be dealing with.
Speaker 21: Definitely, And that's absolutely one of the reasons that women
Speaker 21: don't come into treatment a lot of times is because
Speaker 21: they don't have care for their children, and so for
Speaker 21: them to get help, it's very important for them to
Speaker 21: be able to bring their children and keep their children
Speaker 21: with them well.
Speaker 1: As a component of them on the path to getting
Speaker 1: rid of the addiction, on their path to becoming well.
Speaker 1: Don't the children provide some measure of help along those lines,
Speaker 1: because you're looking at someone who's dependent upon you. You're
Speaker 1: in a situation where you found yourself in treatment because
Speaker 1: you have addiction. I would think having those children there
Speaker 1: would be an inspiration for you to stay on the
Speaker 1: right path.
Speaker 20: It is absolutely a motivation for the women to do well.
Speaker 21: And the women want their children with them, and their
Speaker 21: children want to be with their moms.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and now you arrange for or the children
Speaker 1: are still able to stay in school while they're living
Speaker 1: there with their mothers.
Speaker 21: Yes, and we do our best to keep the kids
Speaker 21: in the schools that they're going to.
Speaker 20: But when that's not possible.
Speaker 21: We get the children into school in the schools that are.
Speaker 9: Close to us.
Speaker 1: Okay, and you are located in Walnut Hills, I guess
Speaker 1: I should say that we are.
Speaker 21: We are in a nine building facility, and we're located
Speaker 21: all within one block in Walnut Hills.
Speaker 1: How many women do you serve, generally speaking, on average.
Speaker 21: Generally about two eighty annually two and eighty Yeah, and
Speaker 21: anywhere between thirty to forty children in our care during
Speaker 21: that time.
Speaker 1: Wow, is there a sort of corollary between something underlying
Speaker 1: in these women's life? Like you can say, Okay, the
Speaker 1: most of these women have experienced the following, whether it's
Speaker 1: a poor childhood upbringing, socioeconomic issues, maybe family history, a
Speaker 1: genetic history of substance abuse. I mean, have you seen
Speaker 1: like a parallel or a trend from your working with
Speaker 1: these women since nineteen ninety three Rother?
Speaker 21: Yes, absolutely, all the things that you've listed, in addition
Speaker 21: to a significant history of trauma, lots of women who
Speaker 21: have been in domestic violence relationships, physical abuse, sexual abuse,
Speaker 21: sex trafficking, also homelessness. Definitely, all the things that you
Speaker 21: listed as well.
Speaker 1: Now in terms of addiction happens on every income level.
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering if you see a variety of socioeconomic
Speaker 1: a mix in the women that you serve and help.
Speaker 21: Yes, definitely, we've had pharmacists, nurses, doctors in our facility before.
Speaker 20: Addiction definitely does not discriminate.
Speaker 1: Fair enough, We'll pause, I want to bring you back
Speaker 1: talk about some of the services you offer outreach and
Speaker 1: this wonderful organization again first step home dot Org and
Speaker 1: I'm sure they will be more than happy to take
Speaker 1: a donation. Look right there, upper right hand corner on
Speaker 1: the website, so you can help them out with these
Speaker 1: wonderful services. We'll bring Morgan back after I mentioned affordable
Speaker 1: imaging services so you don't have to pay crazy amounts
Speaker 1: hospital imaging departments, this profit centers, folks. I mean, I
Speaker 1: know they're doing the image, and I know it's done
Speaker 1: on equipment that provides the image. I know there's a
Speaker 1: board certified radiologist is going to get a report. You'll
Speaker 1: probably pay separate for that. But why is it thirty
Speaker 1: five hundred bucks for an echo cardiogram and why do
Speaker 1: you have to wait around three weeks to a month
Speaker 1: to get in there when you can go to affordable
Speaker 1: Imaging Services and get that exact same thing for five
Speaker 1: hundred bucks without an enhancement or eight hundred with an enhancement.
Speaker 1: The image price it affordable comes with the radiologist report,
Speaker 1: so there's no separate line items for that. Don't pay
Speaker 1: five thousand for a CT scan. Do what I did.
Speaker 1: Go to Affordable Imaging service and get one for four
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty with no contrast. I needed a contrast,
Speaker 1: so it was six hundred bucks. Not a problem. Save
Speaker 1: myself heap loads the money and you can too. You
Speaker 1: have a choice, so ultrasound, CTS, MRIs, Echo, cardiograms, Affordable
Speaker 1: Medimaging dot com until you find them online. All the
Speaker 1: prices in information Affordable Medimaging dot Com low overhead, keeping
Speaker 1: the price down five one three, seven five three eight thousand.
Speaker 1: That's seven five three, eight.
Speaker 4: Thousand, fifty five. KRC Channel nine tells us it's going

Speaker 18: The University of Cincinnati Cancer Center has the most comprehensive
Speaker 18: blood cancer center in the nation. The future of cancer
Speaker 18: cares here called five month three five eighty five U

Speaker 18: southbound two seventy five Lawrence Burg Ramp to the bridge.
Speaker 18: There's a wreck in Claremont County on Nordyke at nine
Speaker 18: mile shuck Ingram on fifty five KR see talk station.
Speaker 1: At fifty five KRC the talk station. Brian Thomas pleased
Speaker 1: to have Morgan Gibson, CEO of a wonderful organization called
Speaker 1: First Step Home, which you can find online at first
Speaker 1: Tap home dot org. And what they're doing is providing
Speaker 1: that's a nonprofit I should point I interject there providing
Speaker 1: support for women with substance abuse as well as their children.
Speaker 1: And the only area facility that allows children to live
Speaker 1: with their mothers while they're getting this residential treatment or
Speaker 1: inpatient treatment. And how does that work? Now? Do you
Speaker 1: is it exclusively residential or do you provide also outpatient
Speaker 1: services for women who are seeking to get help with
Speaker 1: their addiction.
Speaker 21: We provide a full continuum of care, so we have residential, intensive,
Speaker 21: outpatient and outpatient services as well as recovery housing.
Speaker 1: Okay, and I guess what you've been around since nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety three. I did mention that my listeners could help
Speaker 1: donate your organization because of what the great work you're doing.
Speaker 1: But how do you survive? Obviously it's a very large
Speaker 1: complex you have there, and that doesn't go without a
Speaker 1: lot of overhead and maintenance and upkeep and salaries and
Speaker 1: all that. How do you generally cover the cost?
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's a mixture of things, for sure.
Speaker 21: We're definitely always looking at ways to diversify revenue. So
Speaker 21: we're primarily Medicaid funded, but we are also supported by
Speaker 21: significantly by grants and foundations and individual donations.
Speaker 1: Good. Obviously folks are aware about you. But to the
Speaker 1: extent there's some business out there that wants to adopt
Speaker 1: a charity, I would stortally encourage them to reach out
Speaker 1: to you. We do have a significant substance abuse problem.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, are the numbers on the rise?
Speaker 1: Do you see any positivity in the numbers or is
Speaker 1: it a static thing over the years you've been doing this?
Speaker 1: Where are we right now?
Speaker 21: So there's definitely been some increases in different substances, so
Speaker 21: different substances will be higher at different points. For sure,
Speaker 21: we're definitely seeing increase in alcohol.
Speaker 22: Use in the community and.
Speaker 21: Definitely trying to just help in any way that we
Speaker 21: can with whatever that comes at us.
Speaker 20: For sure.
Speaker 1: Now you involved with the court system, the family courts
Speaker 1: for example, are you getting referrals from you know, women
Speaker 1: that are in front of the judge because well, either
Speaker 1: it was the substance itself that got them there or
Speaker 1: a substance related problem that led them on some criminal
Speaker 1: enterprise which got them involved in the criminal justice system.
Speaker 1: Do they're aware of you in Hamilton County and elsewhere?
Speaker 21: Absolutely, We're also connected with the local drug courts and
Speaker 21: the family courts and change Court and definitely with children's services.
Speaker 1: Now, what type of treatments are involved and is there
Speaker 1: is there sort of a generally accepted rough time frame
Speaker 1: that this you'll be involved with counseling if you're a
Speaker 1: patient or someone seeking counseling.
Speaker 21: There it's very individualized, so it really depends on how
Speaker 21: much treatment someone's had in the past, and so they
Speaker 21: can be in treatment anywhere between thirty days to a year.
Speaker 1: Or more really and in terms of overall long term
Speaker 1: success rate, it's like a cancer diagnosis. You know, you're
Speaker 1: in remission for five years and that's considered a success.
Speaker 1: Is there a high recidivism rate in terms of the
Speaker 1: drug treatment and people entering back into the program.
Speaker 20: Definitely.
Speaker 21: Statistically speaking, we're looking at individuals entering treatment anywhere between
Speaker 21: four to seven times before getting long term recovery.
Speaker 1: All right, so as opposed to one on one therapy,
Speaker 1: which and I don't know if you offer that Concerning
Speaker 1: the number of women in the facility, but this group
Speaker 1: being together, all similarly struggling, I imagine that creates a
Speaker 1: very supportive environment for the women. They're not alone. There's
Speaker 1: a woman sitting right next to them that's got the
Speaker 1: same struggles. They talk and interact among themselves. If I
Speaker 1: have sort of a picture of what's going on there.
Speaker 21: Definitely, it's definitely a sisterhood in a community. These are
Speaker 21: relationships that women are going to have for the rest
Speaker 21: of their lives. And we do offer individual therapy and
Speaker 21: group counseling, case management, psychiatric.
Speaker 20: Treatment and all those things while they're in treatment with us.
Speaker 1: Now, as for the children, obviously, children are quite impacted
Speaker 1: if their mother has a substance abuse problem. They may
Speaker 1: have been dealing with neglect or abuse themselves. Do you
Speaker 1: offer services for the children that are staying with their
Speaker 1: mothers there along those lines mental health or other services.
Speaker 21: So we have a childcare on site to help support
Speaker 21: the moms, but for treatment services, we are partnered with
Speaker 21: wonderful agencies in the community, including Gladhouse and Cincinnati Children's Hospital,
Speaker 21: to provide any ongoing care for the kids that they need.
Speaker 1: Well, that's great. Well, I can encourage you know, to
Speaker 1: keep up the great work, and I will strongly encourage
Speaker 1: my listening audience out there to maybe pass a donation
Speaker 1: along your way first step home dot Org. I wish
Speaker 1: you didn't have to be in existence, but thank god
Speaker 1: there are organizations like you that are out there, Morgan,
Speaker 1: and keep up the great work on behalf of the
Speaker 1: women who really I guess they really are truly interested
Speaker 1: in turning their lives around.
Speaker 3: They are.

Speaker 1: Seven fifty fifty five kre ceedy talk station looking forward
Speaker 1: to the top of the hour news conclusion because Brian
Speaker 1: Ibel returns to the fifty five krs morning show studio.
Speaker 1: He is from the Help Squad doing really great charitable
Speaker 1: work on the West Side. So we'll get an update
Speaker 1: on how the Help Squad's doing and some of the
Speaker 1: projects they've really helped out on. In the the personal stories.
Speaker 1: Brian Ibold really stepping up to the plate, and thanks
Speaker 1: to everybody who's involved with the Help Squad kind of
Speaker 1: doing charity work this morning, which is wonderful. Thinking about
Speaker 1: Independence Day tomorrow. I will be off tomorrow they're gonna
Speaker 1: do Joe's gonna select some best of least. That's kind
Speaker 1: of what we call it. You draw your own conclusion
Speaker 1: whether it's best or not. But I will be off.
Speaker 1: Which is why we had Tech Friday's Dave Hatter in
Speaker 1: for a Tech Thursday this morning for just tuning in
Speaker 1: fifty five k see dot com is a place to
Speaker 1: get that valuable information. And you know we're talking about
Speaker 1: health this morning with Shas Khan in the book The
Speaker 1: Ultimate Vaccine Timeline. We've been talking a lot about health lately.
Speaker 1: We've got RFK Junior in his work obviously exposing a
Speaker 1: lot of information about vaccines that we didn't know about.
Speaker 1: Of course that touches on the subject matter of Shas
Speaker 1: Khan's book, The Ultimate Vaccine Timeline. Scary stuff on that
Speaker 1: one food dies, an issue, floridation and water, on and
Speaker 1: on and on. And everybody's looking for this mystery as
Speaker 1: to why we have this obesity problem in our country
Speaker 1: as well as other health problems. And I just saw
Speaker 1: this article that came out yesterday credit to the Gateway punded,
Speaker 1: and I always say anything from the Gateway punted with
Speaker 1: them just a slight measure of skepticism. There are left
Speaker 1: leaning sites and there are right leaning sites, and quite
Speaker 1: often the way things are phrased and worded reflect a
Speaker 1: political bias that's just a little bit too much for me.
Speaker 1: Gateway punted it's one of those, but doesn't mean the
Speaker 1: information is not true because they're citing information from a
Speaker 1: Pentagon manpower availability study. US Army did hit its annual
Speaker 1: recruiting goal. It's way ahead of schedule, which is a
Speaker 1: wonderful thing. But the problem is the pool of people
Speaker 1: that they are recruiting are having real problems. This Pentagon
Speaker 1: study determined that only twenty three percent of Americans age
Speaker 1: seventeen to twenty four even qualify for a million military
Speaker 1: service absent a waiver. Ten years ago thirty percent, So
Speaker 1: we've gone down seven points in terms of the number
Speaker 1: of people even that can qualify so eligible youth, and
Speaker 1: they say the recruiting might not even be sustainable as
Speaker 1: we move forward, And then there's the idea of maybe
Speaker 1: getting embroiled in a much bigger conflict, you know, a
Speaker 1: shooting war with the likes of China. Pentagon studies showed
Speaker 1: that seventy seven percent of young Americans would not qualify
Speaker 1: for military service without a waiver due to being overweight,
Speaker 1: drug use, mental and physical health problems. Now, physical health
Speaker 1: problems have always been an issue, and if you have
Speaker 1: certain physical problems, you don't qualify. They I mean, think
Speaker 1: back of the draft, but they say we're looking at
Speaker 1: disqualifications based on a single factor. The most common reason
Speaker 1: obesity coming into eleven percent. The one single thing that's
Speaker 1: preventing that young person from joining the military is obesity
Speaker 1: number two. Drug and alcohol abuse at eight percent, medical
Speaker 1: or other physical health issues seven percent. In one fiscal
Speaker 1: year twenty twenty three, they disqualified fifty two thousand applicants.
Speaker 1: And the other fun fact is not that many people
Speaker 1: are interested in joining them in enlisting in the American military.
Speaker 1: A very small percentage of the population serves. That's fewer
Speaker 1: than one percent of Americans currently serve in the military.
Speaker 1: And the connection with the armed forces, and you know,
Speaker 1: young people's awareness is kind of weakening a lot. Only
Speaker 1: thirteen percent of young adults surveyed by the Pentagon in
Speaker 1: the target recruiting age Again, that's what was that seventeen
Speaker 1: to twenty four only thirteen percent had a parent who served,
Speaker 1: which raises awareness, they say, accordingly, a lot fewer young
Speaker 1: people are even inclined to serve. Last year's survey found
Speaker 1: that eighty seven percent of individuals age sixteen to twenty
Speaker 1: one said they were probably not or definitely not even
Speaker 1: consider enlistment, nine percent expressed some interest, lowest figure in
Speaker 1: fifteen years, and just one percent we're both eligible and
Speaker 1: open to having a conversation with the military about joining.
Speaker 1: In other words, of conversation with a recruiter, you know
Speaker 1: these We have an all volunteer military, stating the obvious,
Speaker 1: but even you note within an all volunteer military the
Speaker 1: very small percentage of young people who are even considering it,
Speaker 1: and then they're met with a massive roadblock in the
Speaker 1: form of not even being eligible to serve due to
Speaker 1: health and physical issues. We got a massive obesity problem
Speaker 1: in our country, and I sure hope and I embraced
Speaker 1: the ideas of RFK Junior and helping us move in
Speaker 1: a direction of eating more healthy foods and taking greater
Speaker 1: stock in our health, if not for any other reason
Speaker 1: than the security of our country. Seven fifty five ify
Speaker 1: five K Sedy Talk station, We're gonna be talking Eyebolt,
Speaker 1: Brian Ibold after the top of their news get an
Speaker 1: update on the help Squad plus j ratlif at eight
Speaker 1: thirty with aviation topics. I hope you can stick around.
Speaker 10: Big things are happening, breaking news happening.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 10: We'll tell you more at the top of the hour.
Speaker 10: It's too aggressive and over the top. Fifty five krc
Speaker 10: the talk station celebrating American independence.
Speaker 14: And like recognize the sacrifices.
Speaker 10: That people made for us. Happy fourth or July fifty
Speaker 10: five krs the talk station.
Speaker 1: Eight o five a fifty five KRCD talk station, A
Speaker 1: very happy Independence Day. Eve. Hope you got some nice
Speaker 1: plans set up for this celebration, and I hope you're
Speaker 1: celebrating the independence of our country. And I'm fully appreciative
Speaker 1: of the direction that seems to be going. But one
Speaker 1: of the great things we do have in our country
Speaker 1: are folks that willing to step up to the plate,
Speaker 1: engage in charity, help other people that are truly on
Speaker 1: life's margins. And you know, sometimes they have a religious
Speaker 1: mission behind that effort. Sometimes it's a simple ultru but
Speaker 1: we've got a combination of both here in studio. Sam
Speaker 1: Jasper and Brian Ibold. You know he's got to remember Brian,
Speaker 1: he's the original creator of and founder of a charity
Speaker 1: on the West Side called the Help Squad, and I
Speaker 1: will recommend you stop by the website the Help Squad
Speaker 1: since he with a y dot com and their Christian
Speaker 1: faith based mission of five on one three c helping
Speaker 1: struggling working families on the West Side. Brian, you've been
Speaker 1: on the and Sam both been on the program a
Speaker 1: few times and I just want you know, give my
Speaker 1: listeners a reminder about, first off, what you do and
Speaker 1: the type of services you offer, and we'll get an
Speaker 1: update on some of the great things you've been able
Speaker 1: to do for some folks who've gotten your assistance, and
Speaker 1: we'll talk about an upcoming fundraiser event we're going to
Speaker 1: be doing. So somebody take the floor and talk about
Speaker 1: you're you're the creator of it, you're behind it, Brian Ibold,
Speaker 1: what was the impetus behind starting this out? And uh
Speaker 1: and and how many years you've been around now?
Speaker 23: So uh, first, first of all, thanks for having us
Speaker 23: back out. Last time I was here, I was a
Speaker 23: little anxiety ridden, so I have my prozacts in half.
Speaker 23: This time I'm much calmer times so thank you for
Speaker 23: having us back. So, first of all, we have been
Speaker 23: around about four years, so I retired from the police
Speaker 23: department in twenty twenty. We were established in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 23: But I think the first thing we need to do
Speaker 23: is just to figure out exactly what is the Help Squad, like,
Speaker 23: what do we do and so just to give the
Speaker 23: listeners an idea. So the Help Squad is a Christian
Speaker 23: based to five oh one c three nonprofit organization and
Speaker 23: we assist financially struggling families focusing on single moms and
Speaker 23: dads on the West side of town. Only just restricted
Speaker 23: to the West side as a brother Juviat Coleraine Dell
Speaker 23: High in Green Townships. Yes, sir, that's the only side
Speaker 23: we can do. This is the west side right now.
Speaker 23: Our vision, of course is to expand this everywhere. I
Speaker 23: have a Help Squad, nor would Help Squad Blue Ash
Speaker 23: Help Squad Westchester. But that's a vision and with the
Speaker 23: Lord's blessing, we'll get there.
Speaker 12: But not there just yet.
Speaker 1: No, I understand that. And I'm honestly, being a West
Speaker 1: Side born and raised a young person, I'm glad you're
Speaker 1: looking out for the folks on the West side. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure where the allocation of resources are, but I
Speaker 1: would imagine probably more heavily concentrated in the city or
Speaker 1: unless you're working with something like the United Way and
Speaker 1: dealing with the bureaucracy associated with that. So you're you're
Speaker 1: kind of a horse of a different color when it
Speaker 1: comes to charitable organizations.
Speaker 23: Yeah, you know, one of the toughest things we deal
Speaker 23: with is the majority of the people that ask for
Speaker 23: our help they don't live in the four service areas.
Speaker 23: So that just goes to show you that there are
Speaker 23: plenty of areas that other people need help that we
Speaker 23: can't help. So if anybody on the east side, west side,
Speaker 23: or I'm sorry, east side and north side, south side,
Speaker 23: anywhere that want to step up and create a help
Speaker 23: squad in their neighborhood, give me a call, give you
Speaker 23: my number, or over the air.
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 23: But because we need help and we need our vision
Speaker 23: is to have this in every neighborhood, not just on
Speaker 23: the west side of town. Well, and you can provide
Speaker 23: guidance to that newly started out organization. Staly what it's
Speaker 23: like to go from an inception to actually, we've already
Speaker 23: done the hard work. We're already established. So the template
Speaker 23: is there. Fun is challenge to get on the hell
Speaker 23: out flood in your neighborhood. Wake up, let's do it
Speaker 23: all right. So services you offer for the people you serve.
Speaker 12: So well, we do.
Speaker 23: Okay, So you have a lot of nonprofits to do
Speaker 23: the basics, and they're great, the food, clothing shelter. However,
Speaker 23: we take it to another step where we will assist
Speaker 23: people with utility shut offs. Let's say your water, your
Speaker 23: electric shot off. We'll turn it back on, or we'll
Speaker 23: prevent it from being shut off. Car repairs, that's a
Speaker 23: big one. I'll get somebody with a car repair, can't
Speaker 23: afford it, We'll fix it. We've gifted cars. I bet
Speaker 23: we've given almost a dozen cars away to people in
Speaker 23: desperate need and dire need of transportation. We pay back
Speaker 23: rents to avoid eviction. Do you know have families we
Speaker 23: have prevented from being thrown on the street and because
Speaker 23: we save them from eviction?
Speaker 1: How many?
Speaker 23: Well, I mean just this year alone, what are we
Speaker 23: in half of this month, we're probably in i'd say
Speaker 23: forty families from eviction, no kids only the half of
Speaker 23: the year.
Speaker 1: Something like that might be more.
Speaker 23: And if you take the families and help many kids
Speaker 23: and what are with it? This is hundreds of people
Speaker 23: from being thrown on the street as what we're going.
Speaker 23: So I don't see how like people are not calling us,
Speaker 23: like politicians people in charge and saying, hey, you have
Speaker 23: a great idea. How do we get involved? How do
Speaker 23: we help? Because you guys are doing it right. So
Speaker 23: my phones are here, I'm waiting for it to ring.
Speaker 23: Like I said, I'll give you my number. You want
Speaker 23: to go ahead and give it out, go ahead, okay,
Speaker 23: if you want to do the Lord's work and you
Speaker 23: want to make a difference in the world, call this
Speaker 23: number five one, three, six, seven, eight eight nine eight six.
Speaker 23: It's my direct number. And we can together, we can
Speaker 23: do this and we can make this happen because we've
Speaker 23: all been told well, you can't do this and you
Speaker 23: can't do that, and it's always going to be like this.
Speaker 23: It doesn't have to be and we're we're we're living
Speaker 23: proof of it. So and I you mentioned that you
Speaker 23: have gotten people cars.
Speaker 1: Obviously someone donates a car to you, do you accept
Speaker 1: those contributions? I mean someone calls you up and say, hey,
Speaker 1: I got a car, runs fine, don't need it anym
Speaker 1: It's got one hundred thousand miles in it, but it
Speaker 1: runs great. I mean, will you pick that up or
Speaker 1: do you have a place where people drop that off?
Speaker 1: How do you work with that? Because you know, I'm
Speaker 1: thinking of like Saint Vincent de Paul. You know, they
Speaker 1: got trucks out there, they drive over to people's places,
Speaker 1: they get the furniture and they take it back and
Speaker 1: put it to the charitable cause.
Speaker 23: Do you operate on along a similar line? Yeah, so,
Speaker 23: answers real quick, I'll turn over to Sam. So yeah,
Speaker 23: So what we'll do is, so somebody wants to donate
Speaker 23: a car to us, we'll certainly take it, even if
Speaker 23: knees repair. So we have a company over in green
Speaker 23: Township Brogan folds oil. Okay, they're on Bridge and the
Speaker 23: road right by Wardway Fuels. They give us ten thousand
Speaker 23: dollars a year. Matt Brogan gives us ten thousand dollars
Speaker 23: a year in free repairs. So if somebody wants to
Speaker 23: do he's great. He is a wonderful dude. If someone
Speaker 23: donates a car to us for you know, for free,
Speaker 23: or even if we buy a car for two grand
Speaker 23: we take it there and get it fixed for free.
Speaker 23: For a two thousand dollars investment, We've just given somebody
Speaker 23: in dire need of transportation a very safe and dependable car.
Speaker 23: And we also usually the first three months of car
Speaker 23: insurance too to help the person out. So it's just
Speaker 23: really it's really good stuff, really good things.
Speaker 1: Man. Well that's got to really make your day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's very rewarding. Man. You help somebody keep their job,
Speaker 1: You help somebody keep a paycheck coming in, You help
Speaker 1: somebody that's able to continue to live on with their life.
Speaker 23: Yeah, that's cool. Let me just if I can just
Speaker 23: give you this real example. I don't want to turn
Speaker 23: over saying because I want Sam to talk about a
Speaker 23: couple of things. But so I've been here before. We
Speaker 23: talking about the humanity, humanitarian part of this, like help people,
Speaker 23: help people, help youp Okay. I don't know if it
Speaker 23: resonates with some people. So it does, some it doesn't.
Speaker 23: So I'm gonna turn it over to money. Now, this
Speaker 23: this will resonate to people because it's money. Everybody wants
Speaker 23: this money, money, money, money. So if you have a
Speaker 23: single mother who is working every day, the mother of
Speaker 23: three works every day makes ends meet. And that's the
Speaker 23: people we help, the working poor. Right, Okay, I was
Speaker 23: raised by a single mother. I know how these women struggle.
Speaker 1: I see this.
Speaker 23: I saw it, and I see it today, this single
Speaker 23: mother struggling. Her car breaks down. Brian, it's five hundred
Speaker 23: dollars to repair it. Now you have five hundred dollars.
Speaker 23: I have five hundred dollars. Even if I didn't, none
Speaker 23: of us had, We could find five hundred dollars. We
Speaker 23: have friends, family, they have five hundred dollars. These people don't.
Speaker 23: They don't have five hundred dollars. Their parents don't have
Speaker 23: five hullars. Their friends won't have five hundred dollars. They
Speaker 23: don't have a credit card to put five hundred dollars
Speaker 23: on it. They can't get the car fixed. Mom can't
Speaker 23: get the car fixed. She can't get to work, can't
Speaker 23: get to work. You don't have a paycheck, don't have
Speaker 23: a paycheck, don't pay your rent. And guess what, you're evicted, right,
Speaker 23: You're evicted. So there's a stat In twenty eighteen, eighty
Speaker 23: three thousand dollars is spent on a mother with at
Speaker 23: least two single or two children. Single mom with two
Speaker 23: children in twenty eighteen eighty three grand a year. So
Speaker 23: when this mom who now because you can't get her
Speaker 23: car fix is fired or as loser job, now she's
Speaker 23: on government assistance for eighty three thousand dollars for a year.
Speaker 23: If we just would have invested the five hundred dollars,
Speaker 23: we've just saved eight two five hundred dollars on this
Speaker 23: family alone. Okay, So if you want to give us
Speaker 23: a million dollars, we could save the government twenty million,
Speaker 23: fifty million. So this has to resonate with somebody. Yeah,
Speaker 23: Like somebody should be calling like, wait, these guys are
Speaker 23: onto something, let's help.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's easy to do that and your money
Speaker 1: is absolutely well spent. I've criticized some other major charitable
Speaker 1: organizations because of the massive overhead they have, the bureaucracy,
Speaker 1: the salaries that are paid, and that's certainly not the
Speaker 1: case with the Help Squad. So it's the help Squad
Speaker 1: since he with a Y dot org. Can you throw
Speaker 1: some money their way and they will make the most
Speaker 1: of that money. And it's great illustration of the realities
Speaker 1: and the practical realities of the problem that these people
Speaker 1: you serve face. So let's help them keep their job,
Speaker 1: let's get their car running, let's help them with that
Speaker 1: back rent and get them back on their feet and
Speaker 1: so they can move forward.
Speaker 4: More.
Speaker 1: With Brian and Sam, we'll get some more stories and
Speaker 1: some other informations. It'll be Sam's turn to speak when
Speaker 1: we get back. Faus for a minute to be right
Speaker 1: back after these brief words.
Speaker 15: Fifty five car the talk station our iHeartRadio Music Festival
Speaker 15: nineteen thirty five CARCD station from the Help Squad online
Speaker 15: at the Help Squad since with y dot com, The
Speaker 15: Help squadsincey dot com, Sam Jasper and Brian Ibold.
Speaker 1: He's the founder of and creative of it. He offered
Speaker 1: his phone number for anybody out there and beyond the
Speaker 1: West Side who's interested in opening their own chapter of
Speaker 1: the Help Squad to help people on life's margins in
Speaker 1: your community. You'd be happy to free to give MC
Speaker 1: call five one three six seven eight eight nine eighty six. Otherwise,
Speaker 1: get over to the website and learn about what they do.
Speaker 1: And you mentioned Brogan Foles the auto repair people, and
Speaker 1: what a wonderful thing donating ten thousand dollars worth of
Speaker 1: auto repairs to get those cars fixed for people to use.
Speaker 1: I imagine you're probably looking for some other community partners
Speaker 1: that can volunteer services along the same lines. Not necessarily
Speaker 1: an outright here's a check kind of thing, but hey,
Speaker 1: we do fill in the black like carpentry projects or something.
Speaker 1: I know you've done some other projects like in people's home.
Speaker 22: Over the years as well, so right right, yeah, So
Speaker 22: we are looking for community partners like Matt Brogan at
Speaker 22: Brogan Foles. Such a great team out there, but we
Speaker 22: can't do this alone. We need community partners to step up.
Speaker 22: Whether it's auto repair, whether it's home repairs, whether it
Speaker 22: is also like AC units that's a big thing right now,
Speaker 22: air conditioning repair and heat and air those are all
Speaker 22: very important services. So anybody out there who owns a
Speaker 22: business who would be willing to donate services and their
Speaker 22: time for our families, that would be great. You could
Speaker 22: reach out to us through our website and just fill
Speaker 22: out the contact form. Brian just gave his phone number,
Speaker 22: so you can you could contact him directly we yeah,
Speaker 22: or use the website probably the best option, and then
Speaker 22: we can reach back out to you. We would love
Speaker 22: to have you join our team, and we are trying
Speaker 22: to build that base, you know, and our volunteers have
Speaker 22: been so great, but a lot of our volunteers do
Speaker 22: still work, like I work full time, and a lot
Speaker 22: of our volunteers do work. So we always need more
Speaker 22: volunteers to join the crew. And that way we can
Speaker 22: you know, cover when people go on vacation and things
Speaker 22: like that, and that really helps us so we can
Speaker 22: be efficient and effective helping people as quickly as possible.
Speaker 1: Oh that's great. Yeah, so I understand. I mean, you've
Speaker 1: got some awards to prove that you're the real deal too,
Speaker 1: So an extent, someone's like, what's the help Squad? I've
Speaker 1: never heard of them helps glad since you with ye
Speaker 1: dot com? But what about some you've gotten some recent
Speaker 1: acknowledgments and awards for the work that you're.
Speaker 22: Doing we have Yeah, I mean, well we certainly don't
Speaker 22: do this, you know, for the recognition, but you know,
Speaker 22: it is very nice when people step up and say, hey,
Speaker 22: we see what you're doing, we see the kind of
Speaker 22: impact that you're making in the community and the families
Speaker 22: that you're helping. We have an organization that is called
Speaker 22: Since He Serves and they're associated with at the Cincinnati
Speaker 22: Open and Fifth Third Bank that's coming this summer in
Speaker 22: August with the tennis tournament, and they are awarding the
Speaker 22: Help Squad a fifty three hundred dollars grant. A nice yeah,
Speaker 22: and they're recognizing our organization for the work that we've
Speaker 22: been doing. So Brian's gonna receive that award, and I
Speaker 22: think that's on August fourteenth, so we'll be recognized during
Speaker 22: that Cincinnati Open event.
Speaker 1: Well that's great, you know, word of mouth and it's
Speaker 1: just one more vehicle to get the word out about
Speaker 1: the organization. More people will find out about it, and
Speaker 1: hopefully more people will volunteer services, goods, and of course
Speaker 1: their time and money to support your cause and for
Speaker 1: the purpose of growing it. I imagine limited resources. Mean
Speaker 1: there's maybe are there people that you have to say
Speaker 1: no to so they are vetted. But the people that
Speaker 1: are vetted and that are deserving of help and need
Speaker 1: it and it's legitimate. If we have the funding, of
Speaker 1: course we will help them. And what I like to
Speaker 1: report is that all our funds have been given. It's
Speaker 1: it's through people. It's not government. We don't get grants,
Speaker 1: it's people just give us the money to help other people.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's amazing.
Speaker 23: What a concept, right, But if the four years we've
Speaker 23: been around, we have never had to turn someone down
Speaker 23: because of lack of lack of funds. Is that amazing?
Speaker 23: That's that's God's gift right there.
Speaker 7: Amen?
Speaker 1: Yeah, her well.
Speaker 22: And then we also partner with other organizations like the
Speaker 22: five to one three Relief Bus and we also were
Speaker 22: just recognized for our work with them. So the Commissioners
Speaker 22: of Hamilton County presented us with the five to one
Speaker 22: to three Enhancement Award for the work that we did
Speaker 22: bringing the five one three bus to our community helping
Speaker 22: to connect families to services. So that was very nice
Speaker 22: to be recognized in that way.
Speaker 1: Wonderful recognition. So, uh, I understand at least in terms
Speaker 1: of fundraising, you have the annual golf fundraiser coming up.
Speaker 1: It's August sixth teenth. Let me listen to some details
Speaker 1: about this so they may very well want to play.
Speaker 22: Yeah. So our golf event is going to be at
Speaker 22: Pebble Creek Golf Course over in Coleraine Township, and it's Saturday,
Speaker 22: August sixteenth. It's a seven am registration, so it's an
Speaker 22: early one in eight am T time. We'll have some
Speaker 22: continental breakfasts and we'll have lunch and our awards right
Speaker 22: after the golf. But we are looking for golfers. We
Speaker 22: have VIP packages or you can just register as a foursome.
Speaker 22: We need donations, sponsors, we need sponsors. Yeah, so we
Speaker 22: need tea sponsors, all types of different sponsorships levels and
Speaker 22: those are on our website as well. You can get
Speaker 22: registered for golf on the website. You can make a donation,
Speaker 22: you can do sponsorship, you can sign up as a volunteer. Again,
Speaker 22: we need those volunteers and so we'd love to have
Speaker 22: you come out and join us. We also have Queen
Speaker 22: of Heart's going on. That's over at Bucketheads over on
Speaker 22: Harrison Avenue. It's Buckethead Sports Bar and Grill. They are
Speaker 22: such a great partner as well. We talk about the
Speaker 22: partnerships that we have, just venues like that giving us
Speaker 22: their time, their stayaff and the venue to make all
Speaker 22: of this happen and raise money for our organization. So
Speaker 22: that Queen of Hearts is done every Wednesday, they do
Speaker 22: the drawing at five thirty. So if you want to
Speaker 22: go out and support the help Squad and maybe take
Speaker 22: a chance on winning some money. That's a great place
Speaker 22: to go. So at at Bucketheads.
Speaker 1: Bucket Heads, Yeah, every Wednesday at.
Speaker 22: At it's three thirty to five thirty.
Speaker 8: Yea.
Speaker 22: They sell the tickets and then they do the drawing
Speaker 22: by five thirty.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'll tell you what the Help Squad
Speaker 1: sence you. I'm gonna courage my listeners. Please please please
Speaker 1: consider don at me some time, Consider being a sponsor
Speaker 1: for the golf event, consider a check, anything you can
Speaker 1: do to help out this wonderful mission. And you know,
Speaker 1: in helping them out, if you're inclined to have a
Speaker 1: Christian ideology or philosophy, you have an obligation as a
Speaker 1: Christian to fulfill the goals of the mission. Listen, that's
Speaker 1: what you're doing when you're helping out the Help Squad.
Speaker 1: So thank you both for all that you do for
Speaker 1: the area. And I'll encourage my listeners to help you
Speaker 1: out and look forward to having you back on the
Speaker 1: program with some more uplifting information about the fine work
Speaker 1: that you're doing.
Speaker 22: Thanks Brian, thanks for having us out. And I just
Speaker 22: want to give a shout out to all of our
Speaker 22: friends and family who have supported us along the way.
Speaker 22: We certainly couldn't do this without the support of our
Speaker 22: and the love of our family and all of those
Speaker 22: people who have stepped up. And then I wanted to
Speaker 22: wish everybody a happy Fourth of July. Be safe out there.
Speaker 1: Amen to that too, Keep have a great weekend and
Speaker 1: a safe weekend, and keep up the great work. It's
Speaker 1: eight twenty six coming up in eight twenty seven, which
Speaker 1: you know means if you're regular listeners, I heart me.

Speaker 1: Hey thirty one Up Thursday, Friday Eve, Independence Day Eve,
Speaker 1: call it what you want. It's that time of the
Speaker 1: week we get to talk to iHeartMedia Aviation it for
Speaker 1: Jay or Ratlift Day. Welcome back. My friend got some good,
Speaker 1: big plans for the special weekend here.
Speaker 5: We're in Savannah, so probably sit on our porch and
Speaker 5: watch some fireworks over the water. Somewhere somebody will be
Speaker 5: shooting them off, so we'll enjoy the neighbors when they
Speaker 5: have some fun.
Speaker 1: That's great. Good to have a relaxing weekend ahead you
Speaker 1: and over to the various topics, We've got some interesting
Speaker 1: ones to dive on in today. Not a good change
Speaker 1: is how you describe it. What's going on over at
Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines? Jay?
Speaker 7: You know you and I've talked.
Speaker 5: About how lines like Delta, American United have all changed
Speaker 5: their freaking flyer programs making it harder to earn your
Speaker 5: frequent flyer you know perks. Well, now Southwest is considering
Speaker 5: doing something with their Companion Pass. Now, the companion pass
Speaker 5: is great for their frequent flyers. They get the pass
Speaker 5: and the companion if they pay full ticket, the companion
Speaker 5: goes for free other than paying the taxes. Even if
Speaker 5: you use a frequent Flyer Award ticket.
Speaker 7: You can still get a companion pass.
Speaker 5: So it's a it's an incredible perk for the loyalty
Speaker 5: program that Southwest has built for all their customers over
Speaker 5: all these years. Well, they're thinking about redoing that where
Speaker 5: only the top tier people of the frequent flyer program
Speaker 5: would qualify for the companion pass and other people would not.
Speaker 5: So it's once again the idea that you know it
Speaker 5: used to be like with Delta American United. Part of
Speaker 5: their change is if you could only fly first our
Speaker 5: coach because that's all your company paid for. And but
Speaker 5: you've got a gazillion miles. You've got a great status
Speaker 5: with the airline. You were in coach, and you know
Speaker 5: if they get an empty spot in first class, upgrade
Speaker 5: me for free. And you know I get to sit
Speaker 5: up there from time to time and it helps when
Speaker 5: I'm on the road. Well, now airlines have changed that,
Speaker 5: saying if you want to sit in first class, you
Speaker 5: have to pay for it. So you've got these frequent
Speaker 5: flyers with all these miles, all these decades of loyalty
Speaker 5: that are on their way back to coach. The door
Speaker 5: shuts and they see like five empty seats in first class, Like, wait,
Speaker 5: what's going on? And these airlines are saying you have
Speaker 5: to pay for it or use miles to sit up there.
Speaker 5: In other words, you have to pay for it. You
Speaker 5: know you enjoy your loyalty program.
Speaker 1: How South, you're not saying you can't use miles to
Speaker 1: buy an upgrade. They still offer that, correct, they do,
Speaker 1: but you've.
Speaker 5: Got to burn it. Okay, it used to me just
Speaker 5: if they had it, they would sit you up there
Speaker 5: because it's an empty seat, Come on up, we want
Speaker 5: somebody sitting in there. But now they're not doing it,
Speaker 5: so Brian, what's happening is the arrogance of these airlines
Speaker 5: have gotten to the point where they know they're they're
Speaker 5: they're they're spitting in the face of their customers that
Speaker 5: have been loyal through thick.
Speaker 7: And thin, and they don't care.
Speaker 5: And Southwest is looking at changing their companion past program.
Speaker 5: I certainly hope they don't, but if they're going to
Speaker 5: continue this pivot, this transition from Southwest of old to
Speaker 5: let's be like everybody else, they're seeing what other airlines
Speaker 5: are doing and they're thinking, yeah, I mean it would
Speaker 5: be a way to kind of boost our bottom line,
Speaker 5: and obviously that's the main thing that we're after, and
Speaker 5: that's what we're going to do.
Speaker 7: And it's really sad and it's just frustrating.
Speaker 1: Well, obviously, you know they can get away with this
Speaker 1: because if everybody's the same as this homogeneous everybody offers
Speaker 1: as little or as much as the other guy, you
Speaker 1: can't better your situation by becoming a loyal Southwest Airlines customer.
Speaker 1: As opposed to an American or United or whatever else
Speaker 1: is out there. People are probably not going to change
Speaker 1: their decision about what they're going to who they're gonna
Speaker 1: fly with based on these changes.
Speaker 5: And the same thing with the check bag feet, you know, yeah,
Speaker 5: it change throws it in there, and people are I
Speaker 5: go where you're going to go because everybody else is
Speaker 5: doing the exact same thing. So it's just a departure
Speaker 5: from what Southwest used to do. And anytime you have that,
Speaker 5: you're gonna people they're going to nobody's gonna love it,
Speaker 5: but they're gonna hate it to varying degrees and someone
Speaker 5: say I'll never fly them again. But you know, some
Speaker 5: of the changes in the past they've made, it pushed
Speaker 5: people to other airlines Delta and United. When they you know,
Speaker 5: started preventing people from sitting in first class and joining
Speaker 5: those benefits, it pushed them to other carriers. And it's
Speaker 5: just the bottom line is, you know, you can earn
Speaker 5: a gazillion miles, but you're really gonna have to work
Speaker 5: your butt off to use them, and you're going to
Speaker 5: be paying more for the seat when you do use it.
Speaker 5: And it's just as long as we keep filling up
Speaker 5: the airplanes. As we've said so many times before, Brian
Speaker 5: airlines have no incentive to treat us any better than
Speaker 5: what they do.
Speaker 1: Fair enough, we'll continue with iart Media aviation expert Jay
Speaker 1: Ratliffe coming up. FBI warning about additional cyber strikes against
Speaker 1: airlines that among other topics with Jay, will be right.
Speaker 15: Back fifty signs KRC the talk station would a thirty nine.
Speaker 1: I think about kir CD talk station. Jay Ratliffe, iHeartMedia
Speaker 1: aviation expert in high demand considering our Heart Media has
Speaker 1: like seven hundred and fifty stations. But we get him
Speaker 1: every Thursday for a few segments and I dearly enjoy
Speaker 1: our time together. Jay always makes me feel better closing
Speaker 1: out the morning show on something that doesn't really truly
Speaker 1: involve like terrible politics, global war, famine, pestilence. But this
Speaker 1: one's got me a little alarmed. FBI warning about cyber
Speaker 1: strikes against airlines. M.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's been happening.
Speaker 5: In fact, multiple airlines have reported these cyber attacks, and
Speaker 5: we had west Jet, which is a low cost carrier
Speaker 5: in Canada. We've had Hawaiian Airlines that was attacked as well.
Speaker 5: And the concern is that other airlines could be impacted.
Speaker 5: The Federal Avia Administration had a statement that came out saying, look,
Speaker 5: none of these have impacted safety, but certainly it's something
Speaker 5: that is on the radar as they're trying to find
Speaker 5: the people that are respons Apparently it's this scattered spider
Speaker 5: group that has gone for the.
Speaker 7: Last several years attacking various sectors.
Speaker 5: They went after the casinos in Vegas, then they went
Speaker 5: after the insurance companies, and they kind of pop around
Speaker 5: from industry to industry, and apparently now it's the airline
Speaker 5: industry that is being targeted. So the FBI is investigating,
Speaker 5: and of course, you know, we're hoping that during a
Speaker 5: busy summer travel season we don't have some of this
Speaker 5: stuff flare up, Brian, but just kind of have to.
Speaker 7: Wait and see.
Speaker 1: But now, now, are these like ransomware type situations? Are
Speaker 1: they just cracking in to grab data? Are they trying
Speaker 1: to shut systems down? Because when you talk about the
Speaker 1: airlines getting attacked, that's not like saying the air traffic
Speaker 1: control system is under cyber attack? Are those we're talking
Speaker 1: about too?
Speaker 5: It's the airline system itself where it can be impacted
Speaker 5: to such a degree that you can't schedule aircraft, schedule
Speaker 5: flight crews, you know, reconfirm reservations, the things that make
Speaker 5: an airline logistically move hour to hour, minute by minute,
Speaker 5: And once you impede that, then all bets are off
Speaker 5: as far as what can happen. And just like the
Speaker 5: FAA computers, airline computers have never been known as the
Speaker 5: state of the art because you and I've talked about
Speaker 5: how these airlines like pac Man have gobbled up five
Speaker 5: or six airlines over the decades, so they're kind of
Speaker 5: a combination of several carriers, and what they've done is
Speaker 5: kind of piece together all those computer networks to make
Speaker 5: them work, as opposed to spending hundreds of millions of
Speaker 5: dollars to completely redo everything every time they turn the corner.
Speaker 5: The thought is, hey, if it's working, why spend hundreds
Speaker 5: and hundreds of millions of dollars. But the problem is
Speaker 5: that your firewall protections and other things that should be
Speaker 5: in place to try to prevent this type of cyber
Speaker 5: attack isn't exactly state of the art. So I don't
Speaker 5: want to say the door is opened, but it's certainly cracked.
Speaker 5: And apparently this group is taking advantage of it and
Speaker 5: at least a couple of airlines that we know of,
Speaker 5: And there have been many times where we've seen airlines
Speaker 5: report computer issues in quotes, but they've not gone any
Speaker 5: farther than that. So there's a possibility that some of
Speaker 5: the past issues have also been a cyber attack of
Speaker 5: some kind that you know, just wasn't made public knowledge.
Speaker 1: Well, considering it's this known entity, this hacking organization that
Speaker 1: is moving through these various industries, does what they have
Speaker 1: done to the other industries that they've attacked indicate what
Speaker 1: they're trying to do with the airlines? In other words,
Speaker 1: going back to my question, are they looking for a
Speaker 1: shakedown on money or they just been okay, so it's
Speaker 1: a ransomware thing.
Speaker 5: In the Vegas one, I know that they had a
Speaker 5: ransom of a million or two million dollars or something
Speaker 5: along those lines, as I recall, But that's been a
Speaker 5: few years ago since that happens, so my memories, you know,
Speaker 5: a little bit foggy on that. Yeah, it's it's an
Speaker 5: inconvenience and you know, does it impact safety? The FAA
Speaker 5: is saying no. I think to a degree, it could
Speaker 5: certainly start to impact safety to a very small extent.
Speaker 5: It would never prevent me from going out and jumping
Speaker 5: on an airplane, because what would end up happening would
Speaker 5: be if the computer's at an issue, that plane's not
Speaker 5: going anywhere until they work out the paperwork and all
Speaker 5: the stuff behind the scenes, and then you can go.
Speaker 7: You're still going to be flying on.
Speaker 5: A perfectly good airplane through an air traffic control system
Speaker 5: that's operating as it should. It's just the internal workings
Speaker 5: for that specific airline. Now, the fact that airlines are
Speaker 5: their own little separate entity is nice because they're not
Speaker 5: all interconnected, which means if you got in the door
Speaker 5: of American you could have access to United at Southwest
Speaker 5: and all the other carriers. So at least that part
Speaker 5: of it's working to our advantage.
Speaker 1: Fair enough. All right, Apparently something scary happening on a
Speaker 1: japan airline slide. What's this one all about?
Speaker 5: Yeah, thirty six thousand feet cruising a long All of
Speaker 5: a sudden, they had some sort of a mechanical situation
Speaker 5: that required the flight crew to get the aircraft under
Speaker 5: ten thousand feet in fast. Oh, so they went on
Speaker 5: a ten minute quick descent that wasn't a noseedown kind
Speaker 5: of thing, but believe me, when you dip a go down,
Speaker 5: it's that roller coaster feeling in your stomach. And the
Speaker 5: oxygen mask come down because apparently there was a fear
Speaker 5: of a cabin pressure maybe being released, and the thought
Speaker 5: was get it under ten thousand feet so that you
Speaker 5: don't have to worry about the onboard oxygen, and the
Speaker 5: crew declared an emergency. They landed safely in Osaka. Passengers, though,
Speaker 5: so freaked out, they said some of the flight attendants
Speaker 5: were crying, oh wow, the kind of thing you want
Speaker 5: to see from.
Speaker 7: The people in charge.
Speaker 21: Now.

Speaker 10: Why not?
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas here with iHeartMedia eighty as Nextpert Jay Rattler,
Speaker 1: We're going to pivot over away from soil inducing Japanese
Speaker 1: airline descents to a suspension of an entire flight crew, Jay,
Speaker 1: what's this one about?
Speaker 3: It was?
Speaker 7: It comes back to a Garuda flight.
Speaker 5: This is it's an Indonesian carrier. The aircraft was flying
Speaker 5: Jakarta to Melbourne and there.
Speaker 7: Was a man that was sitting in business class and about.
Speaker 5: Halfway through the flight he drops his phone in the
Speaker 5: feedback pocket in front of him and forgets all about it.
Speaker 5: What until he was at baggage claim he goes, whoops,
Speaker 5: don't have my phone. So he was afraid that perhaps
Speaker 5: maybe it was already on its way to another destination.
Speaker 5: So with another device he uses that the apples find
Speaker 5: my app device to see where in the airport his
Speaker 5: phone might be. Well, it turned out that the phone
Speaker 5: was at a nearby hotel and yeah, so's he's already
Speaker 5: contact with the Garuda representative at the airport and he said,
Speaker 5: my phone's at this hotel, and the guy from the
Speaker 5: airline says, well, that's the one our flight crews use.
Speaker 5: So this passenger grabs his family, jumps in a taxi,
Speaker 5: takes off to the hotel as the Garuda rep meet
Speaker 5: him there, and then the rep gets keys to the
Speaker 5: rooms for the flight crew and they start searching the
Speaker 5: rooms for this phone. Now this guy's tracking it and
Speaker 5: he says, well, it's not here now. And what happened
Speaker 5: was he tracked it over a bridge and then it
Speaker 5: disappeared plunk.
Speaker 7: It went offline.
Speaker 5: Apparently somebody walked it over to a nearby bridge and
Speaker 5: dropped it into the water. And so was it a
Speaker 5: crew member or not. The airline doesn't know. But until
Speaker 5: they find out, they suspended the entire flight crew.
Speaker 7: But I mean, you talk about somebody tenacious.
Speaker 5: I don't know what was on that phone, but he
Speaker 5: was in a bad kind of way trying to get
Speaker 5: it back. And then some I mean, when you're chasing
Speaker 5: people down like that, that's saying something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and maybe it was at that point where
Speaker 1: they threw the phone in the water or off the bridge.
Speaker 1: That was the person realizing, oh wait a minute, I
Speaker 1: stole a phone, and it's really easy to track cell
Speaker 1: phone these days. I may as well dump it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going to steal this car. Nobody will find me.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, anyway reminds me of the justice that was
Speaker 1: meeted down upon us in elementary school. Somebody made a
Speaker 1: noise in the bathroom that disturbed a teacher. She hauled
Speaker 1: every single one of the boys out in the hallway
Speaker 1: and threatened every single one of us with a paddle.
Speaker 1: Remember back in the days when you could get swatted
Speaker 1: at school unless someone Yeah, unless someone stepped forward in
Speaker 1: a minuted there with the person who made the noise,
Speaker 1: so one way of ferreting it out. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: somebody did step forward. I don't think that real.
Speaker 5: Leave that story out there hanging. I got to know
Speaker 5: the end of the Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, I was the recipient of corporate punishment without justice
Speaker 1: and without due process on one occasion. But I won't
Speaker 1: tell that story anyway. We always have your career got started, well,
Speaker 1: the always end on hub delays. What's it like traveling
Speaker 1: out there on this busy, busy holiday week, and I
Speaker 1: understand we're going to be setting a record out there.
Speaker 7: We could be.
Speaker 5: In fact, a couple of days we've already been at
Speaker 5: two point nine even three million, and I think probably
Speaker 5: less than six seven times we've hit three million in
Speaker 5: the course of a day. But weather wise, today Dallas
Speaker 5: and Houston could see some issues. Miami and Tampa are
Speaker 5: going to be really an issue. But Brian, I think
Speaker 5: if some of this tropical storm weather that they're talking
Speaker 5: about maybe coming up sometime next week, we might be
Speaker 5: having a bigger impact on the hubs for next next week.
Speaker 5: But you know, most of these flights are pretty well full,
Speaker 5: so it's not like we're going to see a drastic
Speaker 5: increase in the number of passengers that are flying. So
Speaker 5: it's going to be busy regardless of the time. And
Speaker 5: you and I talked about it before. Remember that Galaxy
Speaker 5: Note seven cell phone that was made in twenty sixteen
Speaker 5: ye banned by the FAA. So if you've got one
Speaker 5: of those show up at the airport, you're certainly going
Speaker 5: to be slowed down. But this is the time of
Speaker 5: year you want to get to the airport plenty of
Speaker 5: time because playing let's see how cuse we cut, how
Speaker 5: close we can cut it is going to be a
Speaker 5: game you'll lose because it's a little slower at the.
Speaker 1: Airport's Yeah, I read an article this morning they said
Speaker 1: today there'll be like fifty two thousand flights. That just
Speaker 1: seems like, oh my god.
Speaker 5: And the TSA is managing all of that, yeah, on
Speaker 5: those old antiquated computers. So if you want to understand
Speaker 5: just how good some of these men and women are,
Speaker 5: they make it happen with that. But yeah, I think
Speaker 5: the TSA indicated that yesterday we had two point seven
Speaker 5: million people fly, so and on the twenty nine, two
Speaker 5: point nine, so we've had several days again knocking at
Speaker 5: the door of three million, So that's a lot of
Speaker 5: people flying. So yeah, get to the airport at least
Speaker 5: two hours before departure. Make sure that you get to
Speaker 5: the gate as quickly as you can, and yeah, enjoy.
Speaker 1: Your fly and a lot of return travel on Sunday.
Speaker 1: From what I read, that may be the banner day,
Speaker 1: so definitely get there early on a Sunday if you're
Speaker 1: coming back this Sunday.
Speaker 5: After Thanksgiving kind of numbers, but believe me. You're right,
Speaker 5: it's going to be a hectic time at the airport.
Speaker 5: Hopefully get tsa pre check and you can get through
Speaker 5: the shorter line a little faster.
Speaker 1: Jay, always appreciated, best of health, loved you in your
Speaker 1: better half, and enjoy your Independence Day weekend. I'll look
Speaker 1: forward to next week and another edition of the Aviation
