WEBVTT 1 00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:16.640 Five minutes after five o'clock. Happy Friday, first Friday of January, 2 00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:21.320 and the tenth day of Christmas. Yes, it's still the 3 00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:23.800 Christmas season. I know a lot of people still take 4 00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:27.239 their Christmas trees down like the day after Christmas. Everybody 5 00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:29.920 seems to think that the twelve days of Christmas lead 6 00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:33.759 up to Christmas Day, but in actuality, the way it's 7 00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:36.719 supposed to be in the Christian calendar and Catholic calendar 8 00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:40.799 is that the first day of Christmas is Christmas Day 9 00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:44.000 and then runs until the twelfth Night, which is on 10 00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:48.399 the fifth, and then the Epiphany on the sixth. So anyway, 11 00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.000 tenth day of Christmas. Now news at the top of 12 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:53.960 the hour. I was going to start off with some 13 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.880 other stuff, but I've got to address this. They say 14 00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:04.480 that they're taking down social media posts that try to 15 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:10.159 link the two attacks, the Las Vegas and New Orleans together, 16 00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:20.560 and it's how do they know. During the the news 17 00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:25.599 they were saying that, yes, they were in the same 18 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.439 army base, but there's no indication that they knew each other. 19 00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:36.359 There's no indication that even though they were in Afghanistan together, 20 00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:43.760 that they knew each other. Yet the attack, both attacks 21 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:49.159 happened on the same day. They rented the vehicles through 22 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.239 the same app, a little known app. It's not like 23 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:55.079 through Hertz or Avis or any of the other ones 24 00:01:55.319 --> 00:02:02.359 as turo thing. And to not say that there might 25 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:06.280 be a connection. What harm is it for people to 26 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:10.680 speculate on social media because God knows, we're not going 27 00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:13.120 to get the information and we're not going to get 28 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.319 the truth from the FBI. We're not going to get 29 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:22.240 the information that we want. They told us. We watched 30 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:26.120 the press conference in New Orleans and we had Senator 31 00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:29.080 Kennedy say that, well, there's certain things that I know 32 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:34.159 that I can't talk about, and I understand that while 33 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.560 the investigation is ongoing, I shouldn't be talking about these things. 34 00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.400 But once the investigation is over, I will be able 35 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.360 to or they will be able to tell you everything. 36 00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:50.680 And if it's not everything, there will be what slow 37 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:55.280 hell or hell fresh hell to pay? Are we supposed 38 00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:58.919 to believe that, I mean, just because a senator and 39 00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.240 we've seen that, you know, when they have these hearings, 40 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.719 when we have these testimony that the FBI director or 41 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:12.639 the Homeland Security director, there will be all pompous and 42 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:18.719 you know, defend the administration and lie and say that 43 00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.360 you know what is being said up on the day, 44 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:25.080 as is false, that you don't know what you're talking about. 45 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.319 We've seen Anthony Fauci push back on Rand Paul because 46 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.800 they don't call it gain of function. He calls it 47 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.960 something else, But it winds up being the same. And 48 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.960 so we know doctor Fauci has lied, We know that 49 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:42.280 my Orcus has lied, we know that Christopher Ray has lied. 50 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.479 And there's been no prosecution of any of these people 51 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:49.520 in terms of commit contempt of Congress lying before Congress. 52 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:52.960 Yet if you say something wrong to the FBI, they'll 53 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:58.479 rest you and anybody that was everywhere within one hundred 54 00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.360 yards of the Capitol. They've got their pictures and they've 55 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:05.080 tracked them down. They've hauled thousands of people off to jail. 56 00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:09.719 And yet you have an attack, two attacks on the 57 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:13.360 same day, and we're not supposed to speculate that they're 58 00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:19.360 somehow connected. Do they know everything? Do they You know, 59 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:23.240 they've dug into their profiles, they've dug into who they are, 60 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:27.560 where they've lived. They've raided the one guy's a trailer 61 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:32.759 and looked through his stuff. But how do we know 62 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:37.560 that what they're doing is accurate. Do we have all 63 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:41.720 the information from that Las Vegas shooter years ago where 64 00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.800 hundreds of you know, they're shooting from the tower during 65 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.680 what was at New Year's Eve and at the music 66 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.079 festival and shooting up a bunch of people. Do we 67 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:56.160 know what, why, when, where? How why that happened, how 68 00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.360 that was able to be pulled off? Who this guy 69 00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:03.160 actually was and how he slipped through the cracks. Was 70 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:07.519 this something that was a gun bust or a gun 71 00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:12.560 by gone wrong? Who knows? And when you're not getting 72 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:16.959 the information from the people, when you're not getting the details, Hell, 73 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.639 we still don't even have when was the last press 74 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:24.879 conference on the attempted Butler assassination? Is anybody anybody in 75 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:28.399 the spoon fed regurgitators in the mainstream meeting? And you know, 76 00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:31.360 I called Fox News to task on this as well. 77 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:36.120 Where are they asking questions? Where are the investigative reporters there? 78 00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:39.879 It's fro I mean, I love Fox News because you know, 79 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:45.040 basically it's the only conservative news at night. You're certainly 80 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.360 not going to tune into CNN. You're not going to 81 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:50.920 tune into MSNBC or any of the other alphabet crap 82 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:55.879 that's out there. But if you watch Fox News beginning 83 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:59.720 it once they have the Five, and then they have 84 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:02.920 the the Nightly Report, and then once they get into 85 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.240 Laura Ingram, and then they get into Jesse Waters, and 86 00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:10.360 then they get into Hannity and then get into Gottfeld, 87 00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:16.079 you have seen the same clip, the same topics for 88 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:20.399 at least four times. You've seen the same stories. Now 89 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:24.439 Jesse Waters handles things a little bit differently, but there's 90 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:28.040 still a lot of the same content. And I've had 91 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.879 the TV on at night, and there's certain ones that 92 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.120 I watch and then certain ones that I don't watch, 93 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:36.720 or you know, once I start repeating and my wife 94 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.839 will say sometimes how can you By the time eleven 95 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:44.279 o'clock rolls around, she'll say, how can you listen to this? 96 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:48.120 Over and over and over again. It's almost like you're 97 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:52.319 waiting for that one additional kernel of information that you 98 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:56.480 didn't have before. And the same clips, the same video, 99 00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.720 all right on down the line, and yet none of 100 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:04.439 the investigative reporters, I mean, they'll do the investigation on 101 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:09.800 the southern border, they'll do the investigation on Trende Oragua, 102 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:13.639 they'll do the Aurora they'll talk about some of these 103 00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.560 other things, but it's almost like they go after the 104 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:21.160 low hanging fruit. Nobody is digging into and asking the 105 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:26.759 question every day, trying to ambush the FBI director or 106 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.199 any of these people and try to get a statement 107 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.279 on what happened with you. We had a candidate that 108 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:37.879 was almost had his head blown off, and the nonsense 109 00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:41.639 that we heard from the Secret Service, the FBI and 110 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:46.560 everybody involved in this was so stupid, and the way 111 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.959 the cover up has been instead of, you know, they 112 00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:56.639 washed the roof down within what eight twelve hours, they 113 00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:01.839 kept you know, the site cleared, or was doing their investigation, 114 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:06.639 but what do we know? What do we know how 115 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:09.199 this guy was radicalized, how he was able to do this? 116 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.560 And then we have Ryan Ruth that goes to within 117 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:17.199 a couple months, is what three hundred yards away from 118 00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:20.959 being able to take a pot shot at Trump on 119 00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:25.079 a golf course, hiding in a place where they always 120 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:29.040 know that the paparazzi hangs out and takes pictures, and 121 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:33.080 nobody secured that area, and it just so happened that 122 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:36.919 a Secret Service agent was walking the course and happened 123 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:40.440 to see the barrel of the gun hanging out and 124 00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:44.399 then approaches the guy and what was the report? He 125 00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:47.320 was within five six feet of the guy, fired five 126 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:51.480 times and missed. Wow, doesn't that give you a lot 127 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:55.399 of confidence? And we still don't have any answers. We 128 00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.440 don't have any answers as far as the Afghanistan pull out, 129 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:02.000 We don't have any answers. As far as anything going 130 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:04.720 on in this administration, we don't have any. We've been 131 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:08.720 told that there's no connection between Hunter Biden and his father, 132 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.960 that his father knew nothing, and Joe Biden says, I 133 00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:15.799 knew nothing about his business dealings. And yet just in 134 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.279 the last week, all of a sudden, we start seeing 135 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.600 pictures that the National Archives finally decides that they're going 136 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.399 to drop on the American people and and shows them 137 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:31.039 with Hunter Biden with his business associates, and Joe with 138 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:32.919 the people that he's trying to do business with in 139 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:37.679 China and all these different other countries. This, this slow 140 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:43.120 drip of breaking news or or information, is just abhorrent. 141 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:47.759 And when you don't in the vacuum of accurate information, 142 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:51.120 do we have all the details about the spy balloons? 143 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:55.840 We do we know all about that? Do we now 144 00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:58.960 find out that they knew right from the start when 145 00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:03.000 that blue was launched. And I would like to believe 146 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:06.799 that these guys are smart enough that they're tracking this 147 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:12.039 balloon who is trying to certain weather balloon mind you, 148 00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:15.799 that is just happens to be not just off course 149 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:19.679 and just gliding, no, but zigzagging around. It just happens 150 00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:23.080 to go over some of our more sensitive and secret 151 00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:26.639 installations around the country and then goes out to see 152 00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:29.200 it and get shot down. And then they recovered and say, well, 153 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:31.639 we looked at the data on board, and there's no 154 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.120 information that would be sufficient. We don't think that the 155 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.240 Chinese gathered any secret information. Now, it would be one 156 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:42.440 thing if they told us that, yeah, we wanted to 157 00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:45.120 see the capabilities of this, we wanted to track it, 158 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:47.840 we wanted to jam the frequency. We know that it 159 00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:51.279 didn't get any information because we were blocking it. And 160 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:54.720 yet we were getting all this information by reversing it 161 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.919 and downloading and got into their system and reverse engineering 162 00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:03.279 and learned their seat Chritz. We we find out that 163 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:11.000 the Treasury Department was hacked recently, and just unbelievable. I'm 164 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:15.120 going to pick this up on coming up phone numbers 165 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:17.639 five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five one, eight 166 00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:19.759 hundred eighty two three talk one eight hundred eight two 167 00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.519 three eight two five five pound, five point fifty AT 168 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:25.159 and T wireless phone.

Continuing on a 174 00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:50.840 little bit on my rant from the previous segment. You know, 175 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:53.080 I had something planned. I was going to ease into 176 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.799 the day, but when I heard the news of Papierre 177 00:11:55.879 --> 00:12:00.799 that they're actually going through social media accounts and taking 178 00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:04.480 them down, What the hell does that sound like? Sounds 179 00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:08.200 like the pandemic to me? Doesn't it sounds like the 180 00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:12.440 hunter Biden laptop to me? Doesn't it that all of 181 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:16.080 a sudden that they tell you what their version or 182 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:19.679 that their lies are actually the truth? And if you 183 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:23.919 have any questions with that, if you raise any concerns, 184 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.799 they're going to shoot you down and take you down. 185 00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:32.759 This has got to end. If this administration does nothing 186 00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:36.200 when they come into office, that every one of these 187 00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:43.080 the Google executives, the Facebook, the Instagram, all of these 188 00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:49.159 people that have been squashing freedom of speech need to 189 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:53.840 be hauled before Congress run through the wringer and their 190 00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:58.159 companies either need to start losing their licenses or they 191 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.240 need to be run out of business. The fact that 192 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.440 you open a company, and now I understand, you sign 193 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.840 up for Facebook and basically you are their product. They 194 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.559 want to gather as much information about you as they 195 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.759 want to and so that they can sell that information. 196 00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:21.320 And for that we get the luxury, if you will, 197 00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:25.759 of being able to post pictures of our family picture, 198 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:29.840 all the happy memories and the stuff that we're doing. 199 00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:33.720 But god, I mean back in twenty sixteen, to me, 200 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.919 that was probably the highlight or the heyday of Facebook, 201 00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:41.519 because people would come onto my Facebook page. They would 202 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:44.559 say some of the most outrageous stuff and we'd get 203 00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:47.039 into arguments, which was probably a little bit of a 204 00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:49.879 waste of time until you know, I'd make a comment 205 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.360 and they would, you know, with their insults and they're 206 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:55.840 cursing me and telling me everything, you know what you know, 207 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.240 who my mother was and all this sort of thing. 208 00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:03.039 So but it was a free flow of information. And 209 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.879 when people would get on my page, they'd say, why 210 00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:08.200 do you even let this person on your page? Why 211 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:10.960 do you let them comment? Why don't you unfriend them 212 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:15.039 or block them? And I said, because we need to 213 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.000 know what these people are thinking. We need to know 214 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.240 who they are and then just shoot their arguments down. 215 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:25.559 But to run from them and to just speak to 216 00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:28.480 the choir, to preach to the choir, that's no fun. 217 00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:31.799 That's why I wish people would call in hear some 218 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:33.679 of my front of meies, some of the people that 219 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:36.360 don't like what I have to say, people who disagree 220 00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:38.799 with it, I say, and try to get and get 221 00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:40.720 on the air. They'll we moved to the top of 222 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.399 the list. I love to have an open debate with 223 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:47.159 people about certain things. And yet when it comes to 224 00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:51.320 and thank god that Elon Musk bought Twitter and then 225 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:55.240 cleaned house there and allowed the free flow of information back, 226 00:14:55.480 --> 00:15:01.080 free speech, but on this suppressing. You know, when you 227 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.960 go to your Facebook page, I mean, you are you 228 00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:06.759 have given up something and what have we gotten in return? 229 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:10.799 We basically have gotten nothing in return. We haven't gotten 230 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:14.080 the ability to go on. I mean what you're allowed 231 00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:17.279 a certain number of friends. You're allowed to post certain 232 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:20.639 things that they let you post, and then if they 233 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:22.399 don't like what you say, well then they lower the 234 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:24.559 algorithm so it only goes out to a few people. 235 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:27.879 I've got very good friends that I've known for over 236 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:32.320 twelve almost fourteen years now that I used to see 237 00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:34.039 their stuff all the time. They used to see my 238 00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:37.320 stuff all the time. I used to get numerous responses 239 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:40.159 on stuff. Now, granted, you throw up a picture of 240 00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:42.039 puppies or any of that sort of stuff, which I 241 00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:45.279 don't do. But something that's lighthearted, you'll get all kinds 242 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.639 of hits. But you put up anything that's slightly controversial 243 00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:50.919 or bring up a topic that they don't want to hear, 244 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:54.559 then all of a sudden, no comments whatsoever. And my 245 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:59.240 wife is a frequent user of Instagram, and she will 246 00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:03.320 sometimes put something out like, you know, my granddaughter or 247 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:06.360 granddaughter did this, or we did this, and put an 248 00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:10.799 exclamation part a point, as you'll get a notification that says, 249 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:16.120 be a kind when you're talking, and make sure that 250 00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:19.440 you're not offending people, and make sure that you're not 251 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:26.200 challenging people. Be nice. What the hell is that? And 252 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:30.600 it's just now they're taking it a step further. I mean, 253 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:34.960 if Facebook isn't cleaned up, and if Facebook isn't, I 254 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:39.240 mean when they start editing, they have now taken themselves 255 00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:43.200 to the point of being a newspaper or a news outlet. 256 00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:46.200 Because you can't go on the Inquirer's website and say 257 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:48.679 anything you want. They will censor it, and they will 258 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:52.679 do because that's their domain. Facebook was set up with 259 00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:56.720 certain tax exemptions that they could have a free flow 260 00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.840 of information. Now, obviously you can't post terror hearistic threats, 261 00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.440 and you can't be a danger. But talking about certain things, 262 00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:08.519 even if it's conspiracy theories or whatever, that should that 263 00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:12.640 shouldn't be censored. And the fact that they've voided their 264 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:17.599 contract and their status with the federal government, they should 265 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:20.319 be fined for that or run out of business even 266 00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:23.640 And of course if that happens, then oh it'll be 267 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:27.400 the conservatives going after Facebook or whatever. Well, you know, 268 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:30.400 if you violate the law, if you set up something 269 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:32.599 and you say this is how we're going to do it, 270 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:35.319 this is what we're going to do, and then you 271 00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:40.279 don't do it, you face the consequences, plain and simple. 272 00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:43.079 Phone numbers five, one, three, seven four nine fifty five 273 00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:45.599 hundred one, eight hundred eighty two three Talk one eight 274 00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.119 hundred eight two three eight two five five pound, five 275 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:51.039 point fifty AT and T wireless phone.

So 291 00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:58.359 some sad situation there. Some family is going to be 292 00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:01.400 grieving and their lives are going to be ruined. Retired 293 00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:05.279 Sharonville officer arrested in prostitution bus set to be in court. 294 00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:08.680 Blue Ash Police said they are conducting an undercover operator. 295 00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:13.359 Said they were conducting an undercover operation round three pm 296 00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:17.400 on December fourth, the holiday in express on Creek Road. 297 00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:21.640 Shoonover was arrested as a result of the investigation.

Blue Ass Police 305 00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:51.599 Chief Scott Noel. Noel said the undercover operation wasn't specifically 306 00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:55.279 aimed at apprehending Shoonover. They didn't realize who he was 307 00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:58.799 until he was arrested. Once his name popped up, we 308 00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:01.519 all knew it because I'm I mean, we're a neighboring 309 00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:05.079 police agency. I've personally known Keith for almost thirty years. 310 00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:09.039 Video from the Blue Ash police interrogation at Shoonover, obtained 311 00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:13.400 by WCPO, showed Shoonover's reaction to the situation.

And like I said, I've 314 00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:23.720 been a cop for thirty six years. Sad, sad, sad. 315 00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:28.440 Let's see tri State. Amazon driver accused of stealing over 316 00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:32.960 forty packages and selling them. Amazon driver is accused of 317 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:37.680 stealing over forty packages from Springdale Fulfillment Center and selling 318 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:41.000 the items on Facebook Marketplace. Didn't we have a situation 319 00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:43.400 about a week ago where there was an Amazon driver 320 00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:47.440 that I guess got frustrated with the amount of packages 321 00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:50.000 that he had to deliver, dumped about forty of them 322 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:53.799 in the woods and didn't deliver them. And I don't know. 323 00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:56.200 I don't know, because I know those things are tracked 324 00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:58.480 and they know that they're on a particular truck. I 325 00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:00.559 don't know how he was able to convince them that 326 00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.759 what they somehow got stolen off his truck. But anyway, 327 00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:07.200 and Amazon drivers, and let you see, Springdale police said 328 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:10.920 in an affidavit. And an Amazon Lost Prevention specialist contacted 329 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:13.759 then report an employee theft. She told police that she 330 00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:18.279 had received information about items near delivered never delivered on 331 00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:24.319 a route associated with driver like l Jodd Khan. While investigating, 332 00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:28.119 she found a video of Con driving to the fulfillment 333 00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:31.759 center on Strategic Partway, grabbing the cart with the packages, 334 00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:36.039 and leaving Amazon employees. Tracking program showed Con went directly 335 00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:40.480 to his home in Florence. You know, the nice thing 336 00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:43.880 about these things is that you the criminals sometimes are 337 00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:47.000 not very bright. The woman who reported to the police 338 00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:50.359 said she found Con selling items on Facebook marketplace the 339 00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:53.559 match the items stolen package. Cod is accused of stealing 340 00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:56.319 forty four packages a total of three two hundred and 341 00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:59.240 sixty five dollars. He was charged on December thirty first 342 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:07.119 theft without consent? I is that really a term? Isn't 343 00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:12.079 theft by a very definition? Isn't that without consent? Why 344 00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.160 do you? I'm confused. I guess. I guess I'm gonna 345 00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:17.400 have to have some legal mind call in here and 346 00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:23.160 straighten it out. Threft? What is it? Threft by by 347 00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:28.440 non consent? Non consensual theft?

The more 359 00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:16.039 and more we learn about these two attacks on New 360 00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:19.039 Year's Day, the one in New Orleans and then the 361 00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:21.759 one at Trump Tower. And oh, by the way, the 362 00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:24.799 one at Trump Tower. Oh, there's no connection to the 363 00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:28.359 fact that it was in front of Trump Tower and 364 00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:31.920 that it happened to be a tesla that was blown up. 365 00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:35.880 All just mere coincidence. And we're being told that it 366 00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:42.000 was just a mere coincidence that both perpetrators rented vehicles 367 00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:45.079 from the same app, a very little known app that 368 00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:47.400 a lot of people in the news meter as I 369 00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:49.839 was hearing them discuss it. They even they didn't even 370 00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:53.559 know it existed, that they both were at the same 371 00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:56.000 army base. But you know, according to the experts or 372 00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:58.559 according to the investigators, they never met. They didn't know 373 00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:02.359 each other. They started to Afghanistan together and they didn't 374 00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:05.279 know each other. They never met over there, and yet 375 00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:10.119 on the same day they launch an attack on American 376 00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:17.440 soil because they were radicalized. Now, the fact that we 377 00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:21.559 are in this information vacuum, the fact that we are 378 00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:24.960 hearing little more bits and pieces about these people, that 379 00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:29.440 they're digging into their social media accounts more so than 380 00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:33.880 what they've done as far as the two attempted assassinations 381 00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:38.759 on Donald Trump and some of the other attacks on conservatives, 382 00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:42.160 we don't know half the information about them that we 383 00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:45.319 know about these people. But by god, they've got the 384 00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:47.799 license plate, they've got the driver's license. They knew who 385 00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:54.359 these people are. And I often wonder if these people 386 00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:59.640 aren't well, aren't known to them already either as maybe 387 00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:03.640 comp financial informants that have gone off the rails, or 388 00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:06.079 that they've been on their radar screen and they oh, 389 00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:09.519 they just happened to slip through the cracks. You know, 390 00:25:09.799 --> 00:25:12.480 when you look at this you know, when you go 391 00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:15.799 back to the Obama administration with Fast and Furious, they 392 00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:17.920 thought that they were going to pull one over on 393 00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:21.160 the bad guys down in Mexico. They were going to 394 00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:25.000 send these guns down there that were traceable and that 395 00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:28.079 they would be able to be found, that they could 396 00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:31.160 trace where the guns were going, and then bust the 397 00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:34.440 people that were trafficking in the guns. Well, that all 398 00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:37.319 went to hell, and I'm handbasket because I guess they 399 00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.720 disabled the tracking devices or they went around and then 400 00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:46.440 we hear okay, now fast forward to this New Orleans attack. 401 00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:50.640 You have a situation where they do the press conference 402 00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:54.759 and the person up there says, now, this is they're 403 00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:57.440 trying to tell us that, you know, New Orleans is 404 00:25:57.519 --> 00:25:59.759 used to having big crowds. I mean, after all, they 405 00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:02.720 have Marty Graw and then they have the Sugar Bowl 406 00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:05.200 down there, and then they have different football games and 407 00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:10.160 big events, so they're used to handling crowds. Well, apparently 408 00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:12.359 not so much because if you look at the video 409 00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:15.680 of this truck that pulled up and then turned right 410 00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.119 right and they you know, when they're blocking off the street, 411 00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:22.400 he turned right and then sped down the street. The 412 00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:24.400 cop that was there, and of course we learned that 413 00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:29.559 the bullards were down, those hydraulic things that pop up 414 00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:32.599 to prevent people from going in certain areas, that they 415 00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:36.480 were all being under construction because of the super Bowl 416 00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:39.839 in February, because New Orleans is hosting the super Bowl, 417 00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:42.359 and so they were making sure that those were working 418 00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:45.319 in time for the super Bowl. But not from Marti Graus, Okay, 419 00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:48.200 you know that's too much. And then you noticed that 420 00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:53.880 and this this hit me just unbelievable that you had 421 00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:57.880 this cop car that wasn't even blocking the entire street, 422 00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:02.799 wasn't positioned in a way that obviously this guy could 423 00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:06.279 drive around and then speed down the street. And then 424 00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:08.759 when you see the video, you see this cop get 425 00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:12.200 out and like looking around, like what the hell just happen? 426 00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:18.319 Completely surprised. Now, this is not the kind of security 427 00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:21.680 that you have when you think that there might be 428 00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:25.839 a terroristic threat. I mean, I live I mentioned this before. 429 00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:29.160 I live near Nku, and there are times when there 430 00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:32.160 is a concert there, or there's a graduation, or there's 431 00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:36.880 a major there's a basketball event and it's on. I 432 00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:38.480 have to pass by there in order to go to 433 00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:42.839 Kroger and get groceries and stuff, and it's annoying sometimes 434 00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:45.039 when they're directing traffic because they don't know what the 435 00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:47.640 hell they're doing. They allow way too many cars to 436 00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:49.960 go through. You sit there and there's you know, one, 437 00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:52.079 one thousand and one, one thousand and two, It might 438 00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:54.519 be about thirty seconds before the next car comes through. 439 00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:57.400 Make them wait, let us go, if you know what 440 00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:00.599 I mean. But when I drive up there, they will 441 00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:06.400 have like a cop car sort of blocking the street 442 00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:09.559 so that you can't go down this particular street that 443 00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:15.119 leads to their stadium there or the campus. Yet that 444 00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:18.079 is the same type of security that they had in 445 00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:22.799 New Orleans. Now, the threat assessment for somebody to cause 446 00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:27.160 some ill or some problem at an NKU graduation or 447 00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:32.519 an NKU the threat level at an NKU graduation or 448 00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:37.039 a basketball game or a concert is sure as hell 449 00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:40.920 way below. What is there for Marti Gras when you 450 00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:44.240 know there's a big crowd there and it's a ripe target. 451 00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:47.839 And instead of having the dump trucks pulled up like 452 00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:51.039 they do for the New York Marathon or that they 453 00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:53.559 have for the big event and making sure that there 454 00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:56.880 is no way in hell because you've got this huge 455 00:28:56.960 --> 00:28:59.599 dump truck there that's filled with sand, and that you 456 00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:02.319 can't push it out of the way, that it is 457 00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:06.559 almost on you taking up the entrance to the street, 458 00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:10.359 as well as even on the sidewalk, that there's no 459 00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:13.880 way a vehicle could get pass that. And yet they 460 00:29:13.880 --> 00:29:16.680 don't have the same security down there in New Orleans. 461 00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:20.640 And then the person admitting or saying during the press 462 00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:27.279 conference that well, we had all the necessary security options 463 00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:31.640 in place, and they just went around him. They defeated him. 464 00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:37.400 He defeated him. One guy, one guy was able to 465 00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:43.759 beat the entire New Orleans Police Department, whatever Louisiana State 466 00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:48.880 Police or Louisiana Bureau of Investigation was able to bypass 467 00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:53.599 all of that and create this carnage. Unbelievable. And no, 468 00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:56.880 I do not think that these two I'm not believing 469 00:29:57.079 --> 00:30:01.400 that these two aren't related somehow. Five one three, seven 470 00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:03.680 four nine fifty five hundred one, eight hundred eighty two 471 00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:06.119 three talk one eight hundred eight two three eight two 472 00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:09.240 five five pound, five point fifty AT and T wireless 473 00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:12.000 from Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas fifty five KR 474 00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:17.279 see the talk station on New Year and the new 475 00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:20.039 President promises may promises kept. 476 00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:21.319 We're going to keep on driving. 477 00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:22.359 Woke out down. 478 00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:24.319 I'm super excited begins here. 479 00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:25.200 I can't wait. 480 00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:29.559 Fifty five KRC the talk station texting enrolls you would 481 00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:31.599 reoccurring on a bit to text messages.

Fifty five KR see the talk station that 484 00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:55.480 you know we've been talking. Like I said, at the 485 00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:57.960 beginning of this hour, I thought I was going to 486 00:30:58.000 --> 00:31:00.279 start off the show talking about some other things. And 487 00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:04.160 when I heard the newscast that they were actually pulling 488 00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:09.000 down any social media accounts or social media comments about 489 00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:15.279 the two of these two terrorist attacks being connected, I 490 00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:21.400 just really piqued my interests and is infuriating after all 491 00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:24.559 that has been done, after all that we have witnessed 492 00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:28.319 over the last well, shoot, let's go back to twenty twenty, 493 00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:31.599 last four or five years, and we can go back 494 00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:35.920 even further than that on some of these things. When 495 00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:39.519 you look at how many times we've been lied to, 496 00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:43.079 We were lied to during the pandemic, we were lied 497 00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:47.599 to about where I mean, they denied up until just 498 00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:50.680 what a year ago that it was not even a 499 00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:53.720 year ago that it actually was a lab leak, and 500 00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:56.039 they tried to tell us all this time that it 501 00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:02.720 was some wet market even though they learned and Ran 502 00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:06.319 Paul in one of the Senate hearings pointed out the 503 00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:09.319 fact that the gain of function that was going on 504 00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:12.039 which would have caused this virus was done at the 505 00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:16.119 Wuhan lab and that it, oh, that had nothing to 506 00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:18.559 do with it. It actually came out of the Wuhan 507 00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:21.839 wet market, Okay. And then all of the stuff that 508 00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:24.400 we were put through, as far as as far as COVID, 509 00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:27.680 as far as how contagious it was this six feet 510 00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:31.599 distancing all of that. Lie Lie, Lie, Lie Lie. And 511 00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:36.960 then we see the Hunter Biden laptop. The security officials 512 00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:40.759 CIA officials say that, you know, fifty one of them 513 00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:43.799 signed a letter. And you know what's interesting, if you 514 00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:48.440 go online and you do the PolitiFact or you do 515 00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:52.400 the fact checking on that and you put in there 516 00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:59.160 what the is, they'll say that it needs context, that 517 00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:02.839 it that no, they didn't say that it was a 518 00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:09.519 Russian disinformation. That is dumbfounding because everybody will say that 519 00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:13.319 the news reports was that it was Russian disinformation, but 520 00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:16.880 they never specifically said that you need to take the 521 00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:20.240 letter in context with everything in this said. So even 522 00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:23.240 the politifacts or the fact checkers are lying to us. 523 00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:28.240 And when you go through and look at all the 524 00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:31.720 stuff that's been told to us about Butler Pennsylvania, about 525 00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:35.519 Ryan Ruth, about the attempted assassination on the golf course, 526 00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:38.839 and everything we shoot. We've been told for the last 527 00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:41.319 four years that Joe Biden's the sharpest ball in the 528 00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:45.039 sharpest knife in the door, the brightest ball in the box, 529 00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:49.720 just on and on and on and on. There are 530 00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:52.759 so many people that should be never trust, should never 531 00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:57.240 be trusted again, and never ever ever be associated with 532 00:33:57.400 --> 00:34:01.640 any type of a governmental agency. Go pick some of 533 00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:03.119 this up. On the other side of the break, I'm 534 00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:05.759 Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas.

We started the show off talking about 549 00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:08.559 the news, talking about that there's they're taking down these 550 00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:13.119 websites and take you know, people that are putting out 551 00:35:13.159 --> 00:35:17.679 conspiracy theories that somehow these two terrorist attacks in Las 552 00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:20.800 Vegas and New Orleans are somehow connected and they don't 553 00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:24.199 want that narrative out there, so they've taken down these websites. 554 00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:28.480 And I've talked at this at nauseum, and quite honestly, 555 00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:32.159 sometimes I even get tired of repeating the same things 556 00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:35.159 over and over and over again, the fact that we 557 00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:37.679 have been lied to so many times. And oh, by 558 00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:41.760 the way, if you've checked my Facebook page, like I said, 559 00:35:41.800 --> 00:35:44.920 every as I've said, every time I come on the air, 560 00:35:44.960 --> 00:35:48.199 I post on Facebook who my guests are and give 561 00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:50.039 you a quick rundown of that. At six point thirty 562 00:35:50.199 --> 00:35:53.480 we're gonna be talking to Dave Hatter, since I suppose 563 00:35:54.199 --> 00:35:58.039 since ANAI cybersecurity expert. And then at seven o'clock we're 564 00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:01.199 gonna be talking about to Nick Noele. He has authored 565 00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:03.119 a book and we're going to be talking about that, 566 00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:06.880 so stay tuned. But this all the lies that we've 567 00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:10.719 been told. I mean, we've got this right. I don't 568 00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:13.440 even know where to begin. You've got this Ryan Ruth 569 00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:18.800 who vagrant. He doesn't have two Nichols to rub together, 570 00:36:19.159 --> 00:36:21.039 but he's able to travel. 571 00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:22.119 All over the world. 572 00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:27.840 What he was caught with what eighteen cell phones? Eighteen 573 00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:33.239 cell phones that were his I'm sorry, seventeen of them 574 00:36:33.280 --> 00:36:36.719 were his? Do we know who the other one belonged to? 575 00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:38.000 Now? 576 00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:42.519 I understand that in an investigation, and I understand that 577 00:36:43.079 --> 00:36:48.400 when you are trying to ascertain or link people, you 578 00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:51.599 don't want to let the people that you're trying to 579 00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:54.960 track down know that you know who they are, and 580 00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:58.360 you want to gather as much information as you possibly can. 581 00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:03.199 That would be all well and good, and that would 582 00:37:03.239 --> 00:37:08.280 be a great narrative if, in fact, once in a 583 00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:13.920 while they were actually successful, that they were actually pulled 584 00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:17.320 one over on the bad guys found some sort of 585 00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:22.119 a deep seated conspiracy within the federal government or these 586 00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:26.320 people connected with this particular intelligence agency out of Iran 587 00:37:26.519 --> 00:37:30.480 or something along those lines. I mean, I understand. I mean, 588 00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:33.159 but you know, when you look at all, right, you've 589 00:37:33.199 --> 00:37:37.199 got Hamas, You've got Hesbelah. They have the leaders of 590 00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:43.400 Hamas and Hesbela. The top what four or five people 591 00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:47.559 now from Hamas have been taken out, the top two 592 00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:51.559 or three from Hesbola have been taken out. They even 593 00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:55.440 Israel was able to actually take out the head of 594 00:37:55.559 --> 00:38:00.679 Hamas in Tehran, Iran and an apart heartment where he 595 00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:04.519 was staying because he was there for the inauguration of 596 00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:12.559 the new Iranian president. They have results. We don't know 597 00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:16.320 how they did it. They don't indicate how all the 598 00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:20.119 inner workings and how long they had been planning this 599 00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:23.159 and all the individual details. But we know what the 600 00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:26.880 results were, that a bad guy was taken out. 601 00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:29.239 But what do we have here? 602 00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:33.639 We've got the dead shooter and Butler and we don't 603 00:38:33.719 --> 00:38:38.000 know much about him. We don't know anything. What are 604 00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:41.480 they still trying to crack into his secret Dakota ring 605 00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:50.320 phones and computers and such? Do we not have the 606 00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:54.639 necessary people? You know, instead of being out looking for 607 00:38:55.239 --> 00:38:59.599 the different terrorists groups that are there, instead of looking 608 00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:02.599 for the three hundred and twenty five, three hundred and 609 00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:06.320 fifty three hundred and twenty five thousand children that have 610 00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:09.239 come across the border on a company that we have 611 00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:12.480 no idea where they are. We don't know how many 612 00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:14.480 of have been sex trafficked. We don't know how many 613 00:39:14.519 --> 00:39:16.639 of them are in sweatshops, We don't know how many 614 00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:19.639 have been murdered. Up to this point, we don't know 615 00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:24.599 anything about them. And yet all we hear from people 616 00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:29.880 like alexandri A Cassio Cortes is that if these border 617 00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:33.039 security is done and these people are arrested, she is 618 00:39:33.119 --> 00:39:39.800 worried about child separation separate separating children from their parents. 619 00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:44.599 How horrific is that? Well, what about the three hundred 620 00:39:44.599 --> 00:39:47.880 and twenty five thousand that have been separated from their parents? 621 00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:52.320 Are you not concerned about them? You're not concerned about 622 00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:55.480 the three hundred the millions of children that have been 623 00:39:55.559 --> 00:39:59.480 separated from their parents in an abortion clinic. You're not 624 00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:03.880 about the number of people that have been separated from 625 00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:10.400 their loved ones because of immigrants and illegal immsigrants murdering 626 00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:16.480 their children. You're not concerned about that. The FBI, they 627 00:40:16.599 --> 00:40:22.480 have launched investigation into people. Now get this, Okay, people 628 00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:29.559 so radical, so devious, that they would attend a Latin Mass. 629 00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:33.760 I mean, my god, can you get any more threatening 630 00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:37.960 than somebody that wants to go to a traditional Catholic Mass? 631 00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:42.079 My god, I mean, why are these people even walking 632 00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:45.400 the earth with as devious as they could possibly be. 633 00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:48.840 You attend a school board meeting and you get a 634 00:40:48.960 --> 00:40:53.079 little loud because your child is being indoctrinated and you've 635 00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:56.800 learned this because of the pandemic where your kids were 636 00:40:57.119 --> 00:40:59.559 at home and you actually got to see the lessons 637 00:40:59.639 --> 00:41:03.079 Bland that they've been hiding from you all this time, 638 00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:07.599 and you speak up at a meeting and now will 639 00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:11.199 send you are on a terror watch list. Tulci Gabbard 640 00:41:11.639 --> 00:41:14.679 is on a terror watch list where she gets on 641 00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:17.199 a plane and there's got to be like four or 642 00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:21.239 five air marshals watching her all the way through the airport. 643 00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:24.400 And to this day, you've got people on the view. 644 00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:28.840 You've got certain Democrats that are calling her a Russian asset, 645 00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:34.840 a decorated veteran, still a member of the National Guard, 646 00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:41.639 and a former congresswoman, and she is a domestic terrorist. 647 00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:48.000 And you got compare that to Hunter Biden and the 648 00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:52.360 secrets that he probably transferred, the influence that he peddled 649 00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:56.880 with all these business contacts that he had, And you're 650 00:41:56.960 --> 00:42:00.280 going after parents, You're going after people like Tulci Gab. 651 00:42:01.280 --> 00:42:05.039 You're so busy investigating. Oh, yes, we need to weed 652 00:42:05.159 --> 00:42:11.599 out all of the faith loving, god loving and possible 653 00:42:11.840 --> 00:42:15.079 conservatives in the military service. We need to weed them 654 00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:17.400 out and get rid of them, because by God, we 655 00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:20.239 can't have somebody in the military that loves the country, 656 00:42:20.679 --> 00:42:25.679 can we. So we have these people being investigated, weed 657 00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:29.559 it out and so on. We have people being kicked 658 00:42:29.559 --> 00:42:31.840 out of the military because they won't take the jab. 659 00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:36.480 We have all of these investigations going on. Of course, 660 00:42:36.519 --> 00:42:39.199 they're not going to be able to find these terrorists 661 00:42:39.400 --> 00:42:42.400 we've got. Biden in twenty twenty three at some commencement 662 00:42:43.079 --> 00:42:47.320 addressed saying the biggest threat to America, well besides the 663 00:42:47.400 --> 00:42:50.679 existential threat of climate change, but on this particular day, 664 00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:59.320 the existential threat was white supremacists. I mean, what the 665 00:42:59.599 --> 00:43:02.440 fifteen or so that are that that are running around 666 00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:05.280 the hills play an army and stuff. Those are the 667 00:43:05.320 --> 00:43:10.119 guys we're supposed to fear. And yet we're letting these 668 00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:15.480 assassins run free. We're letting these people fall through the cracks, 669 00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:19.719 the neighbors that have told the FBI or the groups 670 00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:22.039 that you should be on the lookout for this particular 671 00:43:22.159 --> 00:43:25.480 person because he's kind of a whack job. No, no, no, 672 00:43:25.679 --> 00:43:28.360 we don't want to pay attention to them. We want 673 00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:31.000 to we want to investigate the domestic terrorists at these 674 00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:35.280 school board meetings. And a memo from the Justice Department, 675 00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:41.719 Merrick Garlands saying so, and then we have for the 676 00:43:41.880 --> 00:43:47.320 last year two years during the campaign that Donald Trump 677 00:43:47.679 --> 00:43:51.519 wants to is a Nazi, Donald Trump wants to be Hitler, 678 00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:56.679 Donald Trump is Mussolini, Donald Trump is Stalin. Donald Trump 679 00:43:56.840 --> 00:44:01.039 is an existential threat to democracy, and Republicans are, by 680 00:44:01.079 --> 00:44:05.119 the way, and when you break down the word existential, 681 00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:07.159 I mean that just you know, that may not but 682 00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:11.000 what you're talking about at that point is the threat 683 00:44:11.119 --> 00:44:15.280 to the existence of So they are saying that somebody 684 00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:21.000 is a threat to the existence of democracy by them 685 00:44:21.239 --> 00:44:26.800 campaigning and buy what they are saying. So of course 686 00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:30.320 that's good to go ahead and prosecute them, take them 687 00:44:30.400 --> 00:44:33.559 up on trumped up charges, and try to ruin them financially, 688 00:44:34.280 --> 00:44:36.400 and then when that didn't work, you assass try to 689 00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:40.760 assassinate him and these are the people that we are 690 00:44:40.920 --> 00:44:45.559 supposed to believe that they're doing these proper investigations. And 691 00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:49.239 then all of a sudden, once the election was over, 692 00:44:50.400 --> 00:44:53.280 Oh never mind. General Millie was on a panel. Oh, 693 00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:56.039 everything's gonna be fine, don't worry about it, even though 694 00:44:56.320 --> 00:45:00.360 before he was saying two weeks before say that this 695 00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:04.840 man poses the biggest threat that the country has ever seen. 696 00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:07.679 I'll tell you what. The biggest threat to this country 697 00:45:08.159 --> 00:45:10.840 is the scandal that we have had for the last 698 00:45:11.119 --> 00:45:15.360 four years, outlined by the Wall Street Journal, the cover 699 00:45:15.559 --> 00:45:19.599 up of Joe Biden's dementia, how he was incapable of 700 00:45:19.760 --> 00:45:24.440 staying awake in meetings, that they were spoon spoon feeding 701 00:45:24.519 --> 00:45:28.119 stuff to him, they were controlling him with his inner circle, 702 00:45:28.480 --> 00:45:31.559 and not allowing him to have cabinet meetings, not letting 703 00:45:31.639 --> 00:45:35.159 him have very long meetings whatsoever, and the meetings all 704 00:45:35.199 --> 00:45:38.039 had to be short, and that they were covering for him. 705 00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:42.639 So who's been in charge? Talk about an existential threat 706 00:45:42.760 --> 00:45:48.280 to democracy, talk about treasonous acts, talking about people in 707 00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:52.440 the cabinet that saw this and didn't speak up and 708 00:45:52.599 --> 00:45:55.679 didn't push for the twenty fifth Amendment to pull him 709 00:45:55.719 --> 00:45:58.159 out of office. Not that I wanted to see Kamala 710 00:45:58.239 --> 00:46:03.760 Harris as president, but still, this guy was not in charge. 711 00:46:04.239 --> 00:46:08.000 Who has been pulling the strings, who has been in charge, 712 00:46:08.280 --> 00:46:11.280 who has been making the decision, Because I guarantee you 713 00:46:11.280 --> 00:46:15.519 it's not somebody who was elected, and it's not somebody 714 00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:18.800 who was put in there by the people. It was 715 00:46:18.880 --> 00:46:23.119 somebody put in there by someone, whether or whoever it was. 716 00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:28.000 That to me is the biggest scandal, and that is 717 00:46:28.119 --> 00:46:32.440 something that needs to be investigated. And any in my opinion, 718 00:46:32.920 --> 00:46:37.599 any executive orders, any of the commutations, any of the 719 00:46:41.199 --> 00:46:46.119 commutations or the pardons, should be eliminated, those should be 720 00:46:46.239 --> 00:46:49.360 set back, those should be set aside. Because if you've 721 00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:52.760 got an aging person and you put and they're not 722 00:46:53.079 --> 00:46:56.239 capable of knowing what's going on, and you put a 723 00:46:56.320 --> 00:46:58.360 document in front of them and have them sign it, 724 00:46:58.679 --> 00:47:01.039 it's an all on void. So any of the stuff 725 00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:06.360 that this person dementia ridden has been pointed out should 726 00:47:06.360 --> 00:47:09.280 be a dollin void, unless he wants to go undergo 727 00:47:09.559 --> 00:47:12.559 a cognitive test and then they can determine based on 728 00:47:12.639 --> 00:47:17.559 that probably how far back this dementia started.

See how are you this morning? 741 00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:03.199 I'm well, Thank you, mister Kevin. How are you? 742 00:48:03.519 --> 00:48:05.639 I'm doing just fine. I'm doing just fine. 743 00:48:06.519 --> 00:48:06.760 Good. 744 00:48:08.239 --> 00:48:12.320 I was listening to for most of the morning and 745 00:48:12.440 --> 00:48:18.119 I did not hear you raise a question in regard 746 00:48:18.239 --> 00:48:21.559 to the two terrorists. I know the party line is 747 00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:25.119 that they're not connected, they didn't know each other as such. 748 00:48:26.199 --> 00:48:32.039 But I'm thinking that the person who did the rental No, 749 00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:37.239 you say this was a basically unknown rental company, but 750 00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:41.280 I'll bet there's someone in the background there that knows 751 00:48:41.719 --> 00:48:47.239 or me the two individuals and help set this up. 752 00:48:48.400 --> 00:48:53.719 And well it was on this app touro. Now, I 753 00:48:53.840 --> 00:48:59.119 think anybody can log onto that now, you know, digging 754 00:48:59.239 --> 00:49:02.159 into as I would agree with you that you know 755 00:49:02.400 --> 00:49:05.760 somebody would have made them aware of that. But you know, 756 00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:08.320 if you and I have a conversation and I say 757 00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:11.000 to you, now, well I got this great app that 758 00:49:11.039 --> 00:49:15.800 if you want to rent a car, where's the evidence 759 00:49:15.880 --> 00:49:21.840 of that? So that's definitely a connection. And I'm I'm 760 00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:25.039 I hope that they're going to go in that direction. 761 00:49:25.480 --> 00:49:27.480 I mean the mere I mean, we know that the 762 00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:32.559 two served on the same base, were deployed in Afghanistan 763 00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:37.800 at the same time, so and they supposedly they didn't 764 00:49:38.039 --> 00:49:40.760 know each other, but somewhere along the line both of 765 00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:44.119 them were radicalized. And maybe the connection is to who 766 00:49:44.320 --> 00:49:47.320 radicalized them might be part of the connection. 767 00:49:48.119 --> 00:49:51.639 Right, And I suspect of a radicalized person in this 768 00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:56.760 rental company in the background. The other the other thing 769 00:49:56.960 --> 00:50:01.159 that I thought about is in New Orleans, they did 770 00:50:01.280 --> 00:50:06.239 not have the barrier up that normally is there. Again, 771 00:50:06.320 --> 00:50:10.960 the party line was old barriers were taken out, they 772 00:50:11.280 --> 00:50:14.159 ordered new ones, and they just didn't get there. On time, 773 00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:18.960 so they weren't there. But I don't think that's true. 774 00:50:19.119 --> 00:50:22.000 As you pointed out, there are other barriers for the 775 00:50:22.119 --> 00:50:28.639 stadium and so forth. I suspectors had another radicalized person 776 00:50:28.760 --> 00:50:33.039 in the background in New Orleans who just happened to 777 00:50:33.360 --> 00:50:37.280 arrange for the barrier not to be there, and then 778 00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:43.440 gives this strange narrative that, well, the new barriers just 779 00:50:43.519 --> 00:50:44.920 didn't get here on time. 780 00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:48.400 Well, when you look at the corruption that's involved in 781 00:50:48.519 --> 00:50:51.079 this in the city of New Orleans and the amount 782 00:50:51.119 --> 00:50:55.920 of corruption from top to bottom, there's there's possibility that 783 00:50:56.079 --> 00:51:00.280 you have an awful lot of incompetence and maybe you 784 00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:04.840 don't need somebody on the inside. All you just need 785 00:51:04.960 --> 00:51:08.360 to do is recognize the incompetence and work around it. 786 00:51:09.639 --> 00:51:09.800 You know. 787 00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:14.000 But see that the driver is a terrorist driver, I 788 00:51:14.119 --> 00:51:18.559 think must have known that the barrier would not be there. 789 00:51:19.199 --> 00:51:22.119 I'm sure there were news reports talking about the barriers 790 00:51:22.159 --> 00:51:24.880 that were being repaired. I mean, we're we've got news 791 00:51:24.960 --> 00:51:28.639 reports that the Big Mac Bridge is being repaired, being 792 00:51:28.760 --> 00:51:33.679 told that which streets are shut down for whatever events 793 00:51:33.840 --> 00:51:36.559 and so on. So a lot of this stuff in 794 00:51:36.679 --> 00:51:41.480 preparation for the Super Bowl would have probably been in 795 00:51:41.639 --> 00:51:44.320 the news as far as what has been taken down 796 00:51:44.440 --> 00:51:47.280 or what hasn't been taken down, or what's being repaired 797 00:51:47.280 --> 00:51:50.039 and what's not being repaired. So I'm not sure that 798 00:51:50.119 --> 00:51:52.639 there needs to be any nefarious thing involved in that. 799 00:51:53.000 --> 00:51:54.719 Just pick up a newspaper or so. 800 00:51:56.599 --> 00:51:59.039 See. I don't know what was in their knees in 801 00:51:59.159 --> 00:52:03.079 that area, but that may be true that it was 802 00:52:03.239 --> 00:52:08.119 published so the terrorist knew, well I could take advantage 803 00:52:08.159 --> 00:52:15.159 of the situation. Yeah, you know who knows. I suspect that. 804 00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:18.360 Oh, I'm sure that we'll know everything, Bob. I'm sure 805 00:52:18.440 --> 00:52:22.079 that they will tell us everything once they have completed 806 00:52:22.119 --> 00:52:26.960 their investigation fifty years from now. Bob, thank you so much. 807 00:52:27.000 --> 00:52:29.679 I appreciate the phone call. Late for a break here. Yeah, 808 00:52:29.760 --> 00:52:31.719 it's kind of like, yeah, we'll know everything about the 809 00:52:31.880 --> 00:52:36.440 Kennedy assassination one of these, well, either Kennedy assassinations. We 810 00:52:36.639 --> 00:52:39.960 may even find out the real truth behind the Martin 811 00:52:40.039 --> 00:52:44.800 Luther King Junior assassination sometime well, no, that's let me see, 812 00:52:44.880 --> 00:52:50.519 that's fifty maybe sometime within the next hundred years. Dave 813 00:52:50.599 --> 00:52:53.320 Hatter's coming up at the part of the hour. I'm 814 00:52:53.400 --> 00:52:56.480 Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas fifty five kre see 815 00:52:56.559 --> 00:52:57.199 the talk. 816 00:52:57.039 --> 00:52:58.840 Station Affordable Imaging School. 817 00:53:04.159 --> 00:53:06.400 Coming up on six thirty one. Kevin Brdon in for 818 00:53:06.480 --> 00:53:10.440 Brian Thomas fifty five Karisee detalk Station. It is Tech Friday. 819 00:53:10.920 --> 00:53:14.119 Our good friend Dave Hatter is here cerebersecurity expert, the 820 00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:19.679 premier cybersecurity expert in since according to in my opinion, Dave. 821 00:53:19.840 --> 00:53:20.719 Welcome to the program. 822 00:53:21.760 --> 00:53:22.960 Morning Kevin, Happy New Year. 823 00:53:22.960 --> 00:53:25.119 Always good to be here, always glad to have you. 824 00:53:25.280 --> 00:53:30.000 My friend got some This is like scare the hell 825 00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:32.039 out of a half hour on the morning show here, 826 00:53:34.559 --> 00:53:38.239 But we need to know these things. Chinese communist military 827 00:53:38.280 --> 00:53:43.880 writings revealed plans for strategic influence operations through TikTok. Now 828 00:53:43.960 --> 00:53:45.760 this is an old I mean we have heard this 829 00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:48.440 off and on for several years now. 830 00:53:49.880 --> 00:53:52.280 Yeah, Kevin, and I think this is an important story 831 00:53:52.480 --> 00:53:56.559 because it's bigger than just TikTok. Although TikTok has been 832 00:53:56.639 --> 00:53:59.039 under fire off and on for years. As I'm sure 833 00:53:59.119 --> 00:54:01.760 you and all your listeners are well aware, a law 834 00:54:01.920 --> 00:54:04.800 was passed the banit that apparently is now going to 835 00:54:04.880 --> 00:54:06.719 the Supreme Court to try that work out. 836 00:54:07.360 --> 00:54:08.360 Can that be upheld? 837 00:54:09.039 --> 00:54:12.800 But you know, the original complaints about TikTok were privacy related. 838 00:54:13.199 --> 00:54:17.159 Then there became concerns about propaganda and persuasion, and I 839 00:54:17.239 --> 00:54:19.519 think this story is interesting. So the headline you read 840 00:54:19.599 --> 00:54:23.000 us from the Washington Times, and you know it goes 841 00:54:23.079 --> 00:54:26.639 on to essentially warnt about the same kind of things 842 00:54:26.760 --> 00:54:28.760 that I and others have been concerned about. Again, the 843 00:54:28.840 --> 00:54:32.719 data collection is bad. TikTok aggressively collects your data. I 844 00:54:32.880 --> 00:54:36.079 encourage people go see for themselves. For any app, especially 845 00:54:36.199 --> 00:54:39.599 if it has a Chinese Communist Party source, check out 846 00:54:39.639 --> 00:54:45.239 the privacy. Well, that's a very strong warning sign, I think, Kevin, 847 00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:46.800 and you may see a theme in some of these 848 00:54:46.920 --> 00:54:50.480 articles I sent you. You know, the Chinese Communist Party, 849 00:54:50.519 --> 00:54:53.639 the People's Republic of China. They're not our friends. They're 850 00:54:53.679 --> 00:54:56.880 increasingly adversarial with us. And when you basically have an 851 00:54:56.960 --> 00:54:59.920 application on a device in your pocket that has acts 852 00:55:00.199 --> 00:55:02.559 to virtually every piece of information about you, again, don't 853 00:55:02.599 --> 00:55:04.280 take my word for it. Go look at the Apple 854 00:55:04.360 --> 00:55:07.239 privacy label in the Apple Store and see what data 855 00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:10.000 TikTok collects. And then think that goes back to China, 856 00:55:10.960 --> 00:55:13.400 to a company controlled by the Chinese Communist Party where 857 00:55:13.400 --> 00:55:15.599 they passed the law. I want to remind folks in 858 00:55:15.639 --> 00:55:18.239 the Hill did a piece on this. They passed actually 859 00:55:18.239 --> 00:55:21.440 a couple of different laws that require companies in China 860 00:55:21.519 --> 00:55:24.719 to turn any government any data the government wants. So 861 00:55:24.920 --> 00:55:27.079 you have a device in your pocket, it can listen 862 00:55:27.159 --> 00:55:29.079 to you, It knows where you are, it knows who 863 00:55:29.159 --> 00:55:31.800 you talk to, it knows what you talk about. All 864 00:55:31.880 --> 00:55:33.880 of that data going to China. And that's bad enough. 865 00:55:34.280 --> 00:55:35.960 But then when you get into the propaganda and the 866 00:55:36.039 --> 00:55:38.760 persuasion aspects of it. Forbes did a piece on this 867 00:55:38.960 --> 00:55:42.760 heating feature TikTok has where it can essentially are they 868 00:55:42.920 --> 00:55:46.440 that people controlling it can make amplify some stories and 869 00:55:46.519 --> 00:55:49.920 suppress others. That gets us back to the propaganda aspects 870 00:55:49.960 --> 00:55:52.159 of this, And again I encourage. 871 00:55:51.800 --> 00:55:52.760 For the sounds on Google. 872 00:55:53.760 --> 00:55:55.880 Well, it's think about this, Kevin. 873 00:55:55.880 --> 00:55:59.119 Can you imagine during the Cold War if we have 874 00:55:59.199 --> 00:56:01.719 allowed the Soviet to put devices in your house or 875 00:56:01.800 --> 00:56:04.400 in your pocket that could listen to you that knew 876 00:56:04.440 --> 00:56:07.480 everything about everything you were doing at all times or no, 877 00:56:07.599 --> 00:56:08.039 of course we. 878 00:56:08.039 --> 00:56:12.119 Would or radio free SUSSR, I mean broadcast. 879 00:56:13.280 --> 00:56:15.760 Yeah, but this is even worse than that, Kevin, because 880 00:56:15.800 --> 00:56:18.199 that you know, radio only talks to you, right, It 881 00:56:18.280 --> 00:56:20.760 doesn't listen to you. It doesn't know your location, it 882 00:56:20.840 --> 00:56:22.960 doesn't know who you text or call and what you 883 00:56:23.519 --> 00:56:26.559 what you're texting or calling about. As a reminder, again 884 00:56:26.639 --> 00:56:29.599 related to this story, we've now seen nine different telecom 885 00:56:29.719 --> 00:56:33.079 companies broken into the FEDS have urged that everyone use 886 00:56:33.199 --> 00:56:36.320 into end encrypted messaging apps because all your data going 887 00:56:36.360 --> 00:56:40.440 through these networks can be captured and subverted. So you know, 888 00:56:40.519 --> 00:56:43.719 this TikTok article is basically saying, again Washington Times, people 889 00:56:43.719 --> 00:56:47.360 should read it for themselves. Here's I'm reading directly from it, 890 00:56:47.639 --> 00:56:50.039 the Chinese Communist Party, the People's Liberation Army. If you, 891 00:56:50.159 --> 00:56:53.159 TikTok is one of several strategic tools for political influence 892 00:56:53.280 --> 00:56:57.119 operations and military support acquitting to open source intelligence recently 893 00:56:57.159 --> 00:56:59.880 made public. So when people say, well, how is tik 894 00:57:00.079 --> 00:57:02.639 talk worse than Facebook or Google or fill in the blank, 895 00:57:03.199 --> 00:57:06.280 my answer as well, because it's controlled by a Chinese company. 896 00:57:06.840 --> 00:57:09.559 China has laws that require them to turn your data over, 897 00:57:09.880 --> 00:57:13.159 and even worse, now from released writings, we see that 898 00:57:13.280 --> 00:57:17.360 they intend to use the propaganda component. They intend to 899 00:57:17.440 --> 00:57:20.559 use TikTok as an influence tool to amplify their narratives 900 00:57:21.000 --> 00:57:23.360 and suppress Western narratives. 901 00:57:23.199 --> 00:57:24.199 Or whatever it is they want. 902 00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:27.079 So again, while some people have always said, I'll come on, David, 903 00:57:27.119 --> 00:57:29.880 that's just a conspiracy theory, you know, come on, why 904 00:57:30.039 --> 00:57:31.199 is this worse than Facebook? 905 00:57:31.280 --> 00:57:32.360 Google? Fill in the blank. 906 00:57:32.760 --> 00:57:36.000 It's because it's controlled by the Chinese Communist Party and 907 00:57:36.400 --> 00:57:39.199 clearly they intend to if they haven't used it already, 908 00:57:39.280 --> 00:57:42.320 they clearly intend to use it, based on their own writings, 909 00:57:42.639 --> 00:57:45.440 as a way to manipulate Americans in the West in general. 910 00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:49.199 So TikTok should go away. You know, President by our 911 00:57:49.320 --> 00:57:52.360 President Trump originally was for banning TikTok. Now apparently he's 912 00:57:52.400 --> 00:57:55.159 come off of that. You know, I'm i while I'm 913 00:57:55.239 --> 00:57:58.159 generally not for this sort of thing, i am absolutely 914 00:57:58.199 --> 00:58:02.039 for banning TikTok because of the propaganda nature and the 915 00:58:02.159 --> 00:58:05.280 fact that it's essentially spyware in your pocket or the 916 00:58:05.320 --> 00:58:07.079 biggest adversary we have on the planet. 917 00:58:07.360 --> 00:58:09.760 Well, absolutely, Dave Hanter. And the thing is is that 918 00:58:09.920 --> 00:58:12.440 when you talk about conspiracy theory, is the difference between 919 00:58:12.480 --> 00:58:15.960 the conspiracy theory and fact is probably about six months. 920 00:58:16.480 --> 00:58:21.039 So we know that, and when your adversary tells you 921 00:58:21.880 --> 00:58:25.400 exactly what they are going to do and how they 922 00:58:25.480 --> 00:58:28.320 are going to do it. Maybe you ought to pay 923 00:58:28.360 --> 00:58:34.039 attention because that's exactly what they're doing through TikTok. So Yeah, agreed, 924 00:58:34.400 --> 00:58:36.719 all right, we need to step out real quick, you know, 925 00:58:36.800 --> 00:58:41.360 the drill or get my guest, Dave, cybersecurity expert. We've 926 00:58:41.400 --> 00:58:43.440 got a few other things to talk out, and I've 927 00:58:43.519 --> 00:58:47.039 got one for you, my friend. Hopefully we can talk 928 00:58:47.079 --> 00:58:49.920 about that. I'm Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas.

I 949 00:59:58.519 --> 01:00:03.880 guess Dave Hatter, Cincinnati cyber security expert talking as well 950 01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:06.000 as I keep saying, that's scare the heck out of 951 01:00:06.039 --> 01:00:10.599 your Friday about our star tech Friday. Thanks for hanging 952 01:00:10.639 --> 01:00:14.199 with us. US lawmakers unveil a plan to give all 953 01:00:14.280 --> 01:00:19.360 Americans the right to online privacy. I see some roadblocks here, 954 01:00:19.480 --> 01:00:20.360 but let's have at it. 955 01:00:21.280 --> 01:00:25.760 Yeah, this is interesting, Kevin, because there there's an organ 956 01:00:25.920 --> 01:00:28.119 for folks who care about privacy, and you know, we 957 01:00:28.199 --> 01:00:30.280 don't have enough time for me to really get into 958 01:00:30.360 --> 01:00:32.880 why you should. You know, we could easily do several 959 01:00:32.960 --> 01:00:35.199 hours on that topic. Yes, but I mean if you 960 01:00:35.320 --> 01:00:36.800 just go back to what we just talked about here 961 01:00:36.840 --> 01:00:39.119 with TikTok and the idea that you know, really sensitive 962 01:00:39.199 --> 01:00:41.320 data about you is being collected all the time from 963 01:00:41.360 --> 01:00:44.199 your devices, your car, your doorbell, your. 964 01:00:44.159 --> 01:00:45.079 Computer, et cetera. 965 01:00:45.599 --> 01:00:48.039 And then you know, being used in ways that perhaps 966 01:00:48.119 --> 01:00:51.000 you don't fully understand or would not be able to, 967 01:00:51.079 --> 01:00:55.360 would not appreciate if you did. There's an organization called 968 01:00:55.440 --> 01:00:59.960 IAPP iapp dot org, the International Association of Privacy Professional 969 01:01:00.639 --> 01:01:04.639 They have a map and they track privacy legislation. Right now, 970 01:01:04.679 --> 01:01:07.519 about eighteen states have passed some sort of law. I 971 01:01:07.719 --> 01:01:10.880 like to, I like to, you know, give my friends 972 01:01:10.920 --> 01:01:13.760 a little grief over in Ohio because for once, Kentucky 973 01:01:13.840 --> 01:01:16.000 actually did something useful ahead of Ohio. 974 01:01:16.920 --> 01:01:18.320 Kentucky's legislature did. 975 01:01:18.239 --> 01:01:20.639 Pass myself off of the floor. 976 01:01:20.840 --> 01:01:20.880 No. 977 01:01:21.039 --> 01:01:23.920 Actually, in Kentucky we usually do things a lot better 978 01:01:24.079 --> 01:01:27.400 sometimes than Ohio, so that's not a surprise. I apologize. 979 01:01:28.000 --> 01:01:31.280 We did pass a privacy law, and I know Ohio 980 01:01:31.440 --> 01:01:34.199 has one working through the legislature. About eighteen states have one. 981 01:01:34.280 --> 01:01:36.039 But my point, Kevin is it's kind of a pass 982 01:01:36.079 --> 01:01:39.639 where quill. Different states have different rules. Some are very stringent, 983 01:01:39.760 --> 01:01:42.280 like California, which kind of gets close to the General 984 01:01:42.360 --> 01:01:43.280 Data Protection. 985 01:01:43.119 --> 01:01:46.639 Regulation and the EU. Others are a lot less rigorous. 986 01:01:47.159 --> 01:01:49.519 And the point is I understand. 987 01:01:49.639 --> 01:01:53.280 You know, as as a former small business owner someone 988 01:01:53.320 --> 01:01:55.239 that works in a small business with a lot of 989 01:01:55.280 --> 01:01:59.280 small businesses, I understand how burdensome it can be to 990 01:01:59.400 --> 01:02:02.519 have to try to comply with different laws all around 991 01:02:03.000 --> 01:02:06.360 the country. So I think you can make a strong case, 992 01:02:06.519 --> 01:02:09.840 and especially for you as a consumer, because while as 993 01:02:09.920 --> 01:02:12.760 I said last segment, I'm generally an anti regulation guy, 994 01:02:13.360 --> 01:02:15.800 this is a scenario where when companies don't do the 995 01:02:15.920 --> 01:02:19.199 right things and your data gets leaked or stolen, then you, 996 01:02:19.360 --> 01:02:22.559 as a consumer, are ultimately the one that suffers. Even 997 01:02:22.639 --> 01:02:25.800 if that company goes out of business, the downstream effects 998 01:02:25.840 --> 01:02:29.400 of your data being leaked or stolen can linger for years, 999 01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:32.280 if not decades, as bad guys use that data to 1000 01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:36.199 either impersonate you and get credit or whatever in your name, 1001 01:02:36.519 --> 01:02:39.719 or in many cases, because there's now so much data 1002 01:02:39.800 --> 01:02:42.719 about us thanks to apps like TikTok and companies like 1003 01:02:42.840 --> 01:02:46.079 Facebook out there, that it makes it much easier for 1004 01:02:46.159 --> 01:02:50.000 them to fish you and create much more realistic emails, 1005 01:02:50.119 --> 01:02:53.599 much more realistic voicemails, much more realistic texts because they 1006 01:02:53.639 --> 01:02:56.960 have information about you from these leaks and breaches that 1007 01:02:57.280 --> 01:03:00.159 make them appear to be legitimate when they claim to 1008 01:03:00.239 --> 01:03:03.440 be your bank or your insurance company or whatever sort 1009 01:03:03.480 --> 01:03:06.360 of guys, they're using National Public Data. 1010 01:03:06.400 --> 01:03:09.960 They touched on this last week with the data breaches 1011 01:03:10.079 --> 01:03:14.440 and how the phishing exercises and send you these emails 1012 01:03:14.519 --> 01:03:17.159 that appear legal, yeah legit. 1013 01:03:17.440 --> 01:03:21.000 So yes, yeah, so they're they're using all that data. 1014 01:03:21.119 --> 01:03:24.360 National Public Data is a background check company. Roughly three 1015 01:03:24.400 --> 01:03:26.519 b and records were stolen. And I just saw over 1016 01:03:26.599 --> 01:03:31.079 the past week, Kevin, that apparently apparently, uh, the social 1017 01:03:31.159 --> 01:03:34.079 Security number of every American was leaked in that breach. 1018 01:03:34.400 --> 01:03:35.400 So lovely. 1019 01:03:36.320 --> 01:03:37.599 Yeah, this is a real problem. 1020 01:03:38.159 --> 01:03:41.639 And while I'm I'm generally against legislation, and I think 1021 01:03:41.800 --> 01:03:44.360 most of the time, you know, particularly when it comes 1022 01:03:44.360 --> 01:03:47.079 to anything tech related, the tech is moving way faster 1023 01:03:47.559 --> 01:03:48.719 than the legislators are. 1024 01:03:48.639 --> 01:03:49.159 Keeping up with. 1025 01:03:49.679 --> 01:03:51.840 But the good news is, and kind of as you 1026 01:03:51.960 --> 01:03:54.760 said segueing into this, there is a move a foot 1027 01:03:54.920 --> 01:03:58.440 to create a national privacy law that would require companies 1028 01:03:58.519 --> 01:04:02.320 to protect your data and have tea when they don't, because, 1029 01:04:02.440 --> 01:04:05.519 like I said, I understand how burdensome this can be, 1030 01:04:05.760 --> 01:04:08.920 especially with this patch where quilt of eighteen different rules now, 1031 01:04:09.440 --> 01:04:11.480 but like you see, we're the ones that suffer. You know, 1032 01:04:11.840 --> 01:04:14.000 if you're a company and you get breached, and say, 1033 01:04:14.039 --> 01:04:16.960 even if you are catastrophically impacted and you go out 1034 01:04:17.000 --> 01:04:19.719 of business, you and I and everyone else listening to 1035 01:04:19.800 --> 01:04:22.119 the show this morning are the ones that suffer from 1036 01:04:22.119 --> 01:04:24.159 this data being out there. We need to get serious 1037 01:04:24.199 --> 01:04:27.199 about this, just like we do all aspects of cybersecurity. 1038 01:04:27.719 --> 01:04:30.400 In my opinion, there should be some sort of privacy 1039 01:04:30.519 --> 01:04:35.239 law that creates rules where you are required to protect 1040 01:04:35.360 --> 01:04:39.000 this consumer information and creates teeth when you don't. 1041 01:04:39.440 --> 01:04:42.599 So, Amica, instead of going back and reinventing the wheel, 1042 01:04:42.800 --> 01:04:46.159 is there one out there that is currently in existence 1043 01:04:46.360 --> 01:04:48.679 that should be the national standard. 1044 01:04:49.599 --> 01:04:53.559 Well, the CCPA, the California Consumer Privacy Act, is by 1045 01:04:53.639 --> 01:04:57.119 far the most stringent. It may be overkill. I understand 1046 01:04:57.159 --> 01:05:00.239 why people don't like it. From a consumer perspective, it's 1047 01:05:00.280 --> 01:05:02.159 by far the best for you. There needs to be 1048 01:05:02.280 --> 01:05:05.320 some balance here. I think what Kentucky did is pretty good. 1049 01:05:05.519 --> 01:05:08.159 It's missing some key things. In my mind, it's not 1050 01:05:08.360 --> 01:05:10.280 as strong as it could be, and I'm hoping over 1051 01:05:10.400 --> 01:05:14.000 time we can ease into that. But if you look 1052 01:05:14.039 --> 01:05:16.440 into the American Privacy Rights Act, that's what this bill 1053 01:05:16.559 --> 01:05:19.519 is proposed. It's a bipartisan piece of legislation introduced by 1054 01:05:19.559 --> 01:05:21.880 a Democrat and the Senate and a Republican in the House. 1055 01:05:22.519 --> 01:05:24.960 You know, I don't know what legs it has. 1056 01:05:25.280 --> 01:05:27.880 It's something I'm kind of paying attention to and trying 1057 01:05:27.960 --> 01:05:30.840 to work with the local legislators I know in this 1058 01:05:31.039 --> 01:05:34.199 area to get this done. I would encourage all of 1059 01:05:34.280 --> 01:05:38.960 your listeners go look into this particular bill again, American 1060 01:05:39.000 --> 01:05:40.679 Privacy Right Privacy Rights Act. 1061 01:05:40.719 --> 01:05:41.280 I don't love it. 1062 01:05:41.440 --> 01:05:42.559 It's much better than nothing. 1063 01:05:42.719 --> 01:05:44.880 It would be way better in my opinion, to have 1064 01:05:45.039 --> 01:05:48.360 something like this nationwide rather than all these different regulations. 1065 01:05:48.599 --> 01:05:50.559 If you're a business that needs to comply with this, 1066 01:05:51.360 --> 01:05:54.559 But again, as consumers who are people also that work 1067 01:05:54.639 --> 01:05:58.000 in these businesses, you really should care about your privacy. 1068 01:05:58.159 --> 01:06:02.920 You really should want to ensure that companies who are 1069 01:06:03.000 --> 01:06:06.599 increasingly collecting your data in all forms, in every conceivable 1070 01:06:06.639 --> 01:06:11.880 way are incentivized and penalized, incentivized to did the right 1071 01:06:11.920 --> 01:06:12.960 thing in penalized when they don't. 1072 01:06:13.000 --> 01:06:15.280 I mean that's where the bottom line, So, you know, 1073 01:06:16.400 --> 01:06:17.079 can this happen? 1074 01:06:17.119 --> 01:06:17.400 I don't know. 1075 01:06:17.480 --> 01:06:19.480 There's a lot of powerful lobbyists who don't like it 1076 01:06:19.559 --> 01:06:22.800 because of course it creates extra costs and regulations for them. 1077 01:06:22.880 --> 01:06:27.400 Bactly we need it, Yeah, I guess is, Dave Hatter. 1078 01:06:27.760 --> 01:06:30.079 We've got a couple other things to talk about. But 1079 01:06:30.639 --> 01:06:33.800 you know, when you see when you mentioned that the 1080 01:06:34.440 --> 01:06:40.800 technology moves much faster than the legislation. I mean, we 1081 01:06:40.920 --> 01:06:44.519 are still waiting on a twenty twenty three bill that 1082 01:06:44.679 --> 01:06:49.320 would force companies to allow AM radios in all cars, 1083 01:06:49.480 --> 01:06:52.199 and that still hasn't been passed. The importance of that 1084 01:06:52.679 --> 01:06:53.800 with go ahead. 1085 01:06:54.360 --> 01:06:56.360 I'm just going to say, it's kind of crazy because 1086 01:06:56.440 --> 01:06:59.639 what's the ejection, Yeah, exactly, what's the objection to it? 1087 01:06:59.760 --> 01:07:03.559 Yeah, other than the fact that it's the main driver 1088 01:07:03.880 --> 01:07:06.440 of when there's an emergency out there, that that is 1089 01:07:06.519 --> 01:07:09.239 the main driver to get that two people and so 1090 01:07:09.840 --> 01:07:13.880 something that important is still lingering out there. So the 1091 01:07:14.079 --> 01:07:16.800 length of this time of these legislation is just insane. 1092 01:07:17.280 --> 01:07:19.280 Dave Hadder will be right back and we'll talk about 1093 01:07:19.599 --> 01:07:22.000 the next topic. And like I said, I got one 1094 01:07:22.039 --> 01:07:24.800 for you too, get your opinion on that. I'm Kevin 1095 01:07:24.800 --> 01:07:26.960 Gordon and for Brian Thomas fifty five KR see the 1096 01:07:27.119 --> 01:07:27.599 talk station. 1097 01:07:27.840 --> 01:07:30.639 The holidays are a blast, but the financial hangover that 1098 01:07:30.719 --> 01:07:33.199 could be a huge bummer in Matt and I'm Joel. 1099 01:07:33.320 --> 01:07:35.280 We are from the How to Money podcast and if 1100 01:07:35.320 --> 01:07:36.119 you are dreading. 1101 01:07:35.880 --> 01:07:40.760 The first one and forecast winter weather advisory until ten am. 1102 01:07:41.400 --> 01:07:45.360 Light snow continues through morning rush hour ends about eight am. 1103 01:07:45.719 --> 01:07:47.599 It's going to be a high of thirty today and 1104 01:07:47.679 --> 01:07:51.199 a low of eighteen tomorrow, high of twenty nine and 1105 01:07:51.280 --> 01:07:54.400 a low of twenty Right now thirty four degrees fifty 1106 01:07:54.440 --> 01:07:58.000 five KR.

Yeah, Kevin. 1119 01:08:51.800 --> 01:08:54.840 So anyone that knows me or has ever listened to 1120 01:08:54.920 --> 01:08:57.039 me talking about this stuff in the media knows I'm 1121 01:08:57.119 --> 01:09:03.039 not a fan of Google. Google like Meta. So let's 1122 01:09:03.119 --> 01:09:04.920 let me take back up a stuff. Alphabet is the 1123 01:09:05.000 --> 01:09:07.840 parent company of Google. Now, Meta is the parent company 1124 01:09:07.880 --> 01:09:10.960 of Facebook. And it's important to understand these names. You 1125 01:09:11.000 --> 01:09:13.800 can understand the players and what platforms they own, because 1126 01:09:14.399 --> 01:09:16.680 you know, Alphabet is not just Google, Meta. 1127 01:09:16.600 --> 01:09:17.560 Is not just Facebook. 1128 01:09:17.640 --> 01:09:20.880 For example, Meta has you know, WhatsApp and Instagram and 1129 01:09:20.960 --> 01:09:24.640 other other brands and platforms under the Meta banner. 1130 01:09:25.359 --> 01:09:29.600 So you have to understand the business. 1131 01:09:29.399 --> 01:09:32.039 Model of these companies, which is you are not their customer, 1132 01:09:32.119 --> 01:09:32.920 you are their product. 1133 01:09:33.000 --> 01:09:36.000 I mean, think about it. What can you buy from Meta? 1134 01:09:36.720 --> 01:09:39.479 Yeah, they made those goggles, and you know, there's a 1135 01:09:39.520 --> 01:09:42.720 couple of different things, but in general, they provide platforms 1136 01:09:42.840 --> 01:09:47.079 like WhatsApp and Messenger and Facebook for free quote unquote, 1137 01:09:47.479 --> 01:09:49.880 because they collect your data and monetize it. 1138 01:09:50.760 --> 01:09:52.079 And the same thing with Google. 1139 01:09:52.159 --> 01:09:54.119 Right, they have Google, the Google Search engine, they have 1140 01:09:54.199 --> 01:09:57.479 the Chrome web browser, they have the Android operating system. Yes, 1141 01:09:57.600 --> 01:09:59.800 you can buy a pixel phone from Google. So there 1142 01:09:59.800 --> 01:10:02.680 are are some products you can buy, but generally speaking, 1143 01:10:03.199 --> 01:10:05.640 both of these companies and others like Facebook or twit 1144 01:10:05.720 --> 01:10:08.960 TikTok rather make their money off of your data. Now, 1145 01:10:09.000 --> 01:10:11.640 I'm not saying that in and of itself is necessarily 1146 01:10:11.760 --> 01:10:15.000 bad or nefarious. What I am saying is you have 1147 01:10:15.119 --> 01:10:18.560 to understand their business model versus a company like Apple 1148 01:10:18.680 --> 01:10:22.880 or Microsoft. Yes, Microsoft collects your data. Yes Apple collects 1149 01:10:22.880 --> 01:10:25.479 your data, but their business model is different. They are 1150 01:10:25.560 --> 01:10:27.800 not in the business of selling your data. Now I'm 1151 01:10:27.840 --> 01:10:30.920 not saying that that will never happen, but generally speaking, 1152 01:10:31.000 --> 01:10:33.800 they're making hardware and software products they sell to you, 1153 01:10:34.039 --> 01:10:36.439 and that's where they make their money. So when you 1154 01:10:36.520 --> 01:10:39.439 look at these data oriented companies and this Google thing 1155 01:10:39.520 --> 01:10:42.920 that that article points out, they want to collect as 1156 01:10:43.000 --> 01:10:44.880 much data back to as possible and one of the 1157 01:10:44.960 --> 01:10:47.239 things they've realized and by the way, there's a lawsuit 1158 01:10:47.319 --> 01:10:49.920 with the Department of Justice where they would potentially have 1159 01:10:50.079 --> 01:10:54.479 to divest their web browser Chrome. So Chrome is a tool. 1160 01:10:54.760 --> 01:10:57.239 It's a web browser, just like Safaris a web browser 1161 01:10:57.319 --> 01:11:00.560 for Apple, or Edges the web browser for Microsoft. And 1162 01:11:01.079 --> 01:11:03.680 for a long time, Chrome was collecting enormous amounts of 1163 01:11:03.760 --> 01:11:06.079 data about you with cookies and that sort of thing, 1164 01:11:06.119 --> 01:11:09.760 whether you're using Google platforms or not. If Google has 1165 01:11:09.800 --> 01:11:12.680 to dive ast Chrome, and because more and more people 1166 01:11:12.800 --> 01:11:15.439 are starting to get wise to privacy and blocking cookies 1167 01:11:15.479 --> 01:11:18.119 and that kind of thing, they would potentially lose a 1168 01:11:18.159 --> 01:11:21.520 lot of data. They also know that more and more 1169 01:11:21.560 --> 01:11:25.399 people are using their phones, they're consuming content through smart 1170 01:11:25.479 --> 01:11:27.840 TVs and streaming and that sort of thing where you're 1171 01:11:27.880 --> 01:11:30.880 not using a Chrome browser and they're not collecting that data. 1172 01:11:30.960 --> 01:11:33.720 So they're looking at other techniques, as that article plants 1173 01:11:33.760 --> 01:11:37.079 help in one in particular called fingerprinting, And what they're 1174 01:11:37.119 --> 01:11:40.720 talking about in that article is basically they're moving away 1175 01:11:40.760 --> 01:11:44.079 from cookies and traditional ways of tracking online to fingerprinting, 1176 01:11:44.560 --> 01:11:48.199 which is more difficult to know when it's being done, 1177 01:11:48.359 --> 01:11:51.479 it's more difficult to block. And the idea with this 1178 01:11:51.800 --> 01:11:55.520 fingerprinting concept is they'd be able to track you across multiple, 1179 01:11:55.640 --> 01:11:58.479 if not all, devices, so they would not only collect 1180 01:11:58.560 --> 01:12:01.479 more data about you, but have a more complete picture 1181 01:12:01.600 --> 01:12:05.039 of what you're doing, because it's worth more money to them, right. 1182 01:12:05.119 --> 01:12:07.800 The more data they have, the more they know about you, 1183 01:12:08.239 --> 01:12:10.760 the more they can use that information to persuade you. 1184 01:12:11.039 --> 01:12:13.239 The more, they can use that information as you know, 1185 01:12:14.119 --> 01:12:16.479 fuel to get other companies to buy it and spend 1186 01:12:16.560 --> 01:12:18.920 lots of money with them, whether it's selling you ads 1187 01:12:19.039 --> 01:12:21.039 or selling that data to them for whatever they want 1188 01:12:21.079 --> 01:12:21.399 to do with it. 1189 01:12:21.520 --> 01:12:24.000 So that's what it's all about. Guess how do you 1190 01:12:24.119 --> 01:12:24.600 avoid that? 1191 01:12:24.840 --> 01:12:27.720 How do you avoid that data gathering? Is it because 1192 01:12:27.800 --> 01:12:31.199 your devices are connected or does it need to do 1193 01:12:31.319 --> 01:12:35.159 you need to sink all your devices to these browsers. 1194 01:12:36.000 --> 01:12:38.560 That's a good question, and I would start out and 1195 01:12:38.720 --> 01:12:41.640 the first step is awareness and caring about your privacy. 1196 01:12:42.039 --> 01:12:45.560 I recently wrote a blog post on my on LinkedIn. 1197 01:12:45.800 --> 01:12:47.800 People can easily find it. I'll send you the link 1198 01:12:48.319 --> 01:12:51.239 where I kind of explain the technologies that I use 1199 01:12:51.319 --> 01:12:53.520 for my personal life. Right the stuff we're using in 1200 01:12:53.600 --> 01:12:57.039 trust is different. It's you know, more enterprise grade business stuff. 1201 01:12:57.600 --> 01:12:59.760 But part of the question, part of the answer your 1202 01:12:59.800 --> 01:13:03.039 question rather Kevin, is you know, to think about privacy 1203 01:13:03.119 --> 01:13:08.199 and choose privacy oriented platforms and to avoid these avoid 1204 01:13:08.279 --> 01:13:10.399 platforms from companies that want to attract you like this, 1205 01:13:10.680 --> 01:13:14.760 and then when possible, using these privacy oriented platforms and tools, 1206 01:13:15.239 --> 01:13:17.800 you know, use them to limit the flow of information 1207 01:13:17.920 --> 01:13:20.479 to these companies and just avoid their properties altogether. 1208 01:13:20.640 --> 01:13:24.000 It's absolutely I do have one thing before we get 1209 01:13:24.039 --> 01:13:25.880 out of here, and of course people should go to 1210 01:13:25.960 --> 01:13:29.640 your LinkedIn page and I we'll talk about that. I 1211 01:13:29.720 --> 01:13:34.079 saw this article about smart glasses being developed or being 1212 01:13:34.159 --> 01:13:38.399 available through meta ray band, metaal sunglasses. Smart classes will 1213 01:13:38.439 --> 01:13:41.479 come into focus in twenty twenty five. I assume that 1214 01:13:41.600 --> 01:13:43.520 this is one that we want to avoid. 1215 01:13:43.920 --> 01:13:48.560 Also, well, here's the thing I fully understand, especially like 1216 01:13:48.600 --> 01:13:51.159 if there's someone who doesn't have good site, how this 1217 01:13:51.279 --> 01:13:54.159 could be beneficial for you. But in general, I have 1218 01:13:54.199 --> 01:13:56.880 a lot of privacy concerns if I have smart glasses on. 1219 01:13:56.960 --> 01:13:58.920 And you may recall Google had a product for a 1220 01:13:59.000 --> 01:14:02.680 while didn't really care if you know, I wear glasses 1221 01:14:02.680 --> 01:14:05.079 every day, Kevin. If my glasses have a camera and 1222 01:14:05.119 --> 01:14:07.880 a microphone in them and you have no idea that 1223 01:14:08.039 --> 01:14:12.039 I am recording you, that's a real privacy problem for you. 1224 01:14:12.279 --> 01:14:15.119 So while I fully understand how beneficial it might be 1225 01:14:15.239 --> 01:14:17.359 for me to be hands free, like let's say I'm 1226 01:14:17.359 --> 01:14:18.680 working on my car and I want to watch a 1227 01:14:18.760 --> 01:14:21.439 YouTube video and I could somehow talk to my glasses 1228 01:14:21.479 --> 01:14:23.800 and it could show them to me. I fully get 1229 01:14:24.239 --> 01:14:27.840 how cool. That could be hands free using both hands. 1230 01:14:27.880 --> 01:14:31.079 I don't get my computer or tablet dirty. But at 1231 01:14:31.119 --> 01:14:33.960 the same time, unless there's a clear way for you 1232 01:14:34.159 --> 01:14:36.600 to know that you are talking to someone who is 1233 01:14:36.720 --> 01:14:39.720 recording you, that's a real major problem in my mind. 1234 01:14:39.760 --> 01:14:42.079 That's like something right out of orwell, you know, nineteen 1235 01:14:42.159 --> 01:14:45.119 eighty four was, you know, like forty years off. So 1236 01:14:45.920 --> 01:14:49.760 I'm not a fan of them, unless and until this 1237 01:14:49.880 --> 01:14:52.159 might require some regulation. There would have to be some 1238 01:14:52.399 --> 01:14:55.079 kind of light or something on them that tells you, Hey, 1239 01:14:55.560 --> 01:14:56.960 this person over here with these glasses. 1240 01:14:57.000 --> 01:14:59.000 How about a little warning flag that comes up and 1241 01:14:59.159 --> 01:15:03.880 just kind of flash flutters in the breeze, warning, warning, danger, danger. 1242 01:15:05.279 --> 01:15:07.960 Yeah, it's again. I mean I could see an upside 1243 01:15:08.000 --> 01:15:08.159 to it. 1244 01:15:08.359 --> 01:15:10.760 I can also a serious downside, like, you know, could 1245 01:15:10.760 --> 01:15:13.359 you be in some kind of sensitive legal negotiations. Yeah, 1246 01:15:13.479 --> 01:15:15.239 and the person in the room that you're talking to 1247 01:15:16.039 --> 01:15:18.720 is capturing all of that somehow. I mean I could 1248 01:15:18.760 --> 01:15:22.239 point out many, many, many cases where that could go bad. Yes, 1249 01:15:22.399 --> 01:15:23.439 for the average. 1250 01:15:23.119 --> 01:15:25.399 Person, it would be too hard to figure that one out. 1251 01:15:25.800 --> 01:15:28.840 Dave Hatter, thank you so much, always great stuff, Always 1252 01:15:28.880 --> 01:15:31.239 great talking to you, my friend.

Welcome to the program, Nick no, author 1269 01:16:30.760 --> 01:16:34.880 of Our God Given Freedom. Welcome the program. Nick. How 1270 01:16:34.920 --> 01:16:35.680 are you this morning? 1271 01:16:36.800 --> 01:16:36.880 Hi? 1272 01:16:37.039 --> 01:16:40.039 Kevin, thank you, and I'm great this morning, and I'm 1273 01:16:40.079 --> 01:16:44.000 here to talk about the debate over H one B Visus, 1274 01:16:44.159 --> 01:16:48.640 especially which touches on everything I write about. First of all, 1275 01:16:48.760 --> 01:16:51.600 I am a Frederick Douglas Republican, and I am a 1276 01:16:51.640 --> 01:16:57.199 Trump Republican Democrats and establishment Republicans say we need more 1277 01:16:57.239 --> 01:17:00.319 of these H one B visas, But I say we 1278 01:17:00.479 --> 01:17:04.239 need to stop the division and the unequal treatment in 1279 01:17:04.359 --> 01:17:10.479 our country. Millions of black and white Americans, and male 1280 01:17:10.560 --> 01:17:14.039 and female could do these jobs if not for our 1281 01:17:14.119 --> 01:17:21.199 Democrat run system of public education. Frederick Douglas wrote at 1282 01:17:21.239 --> 01:17:24.600 the US Founding, the richest, most powerfully leads in the 1283 01:17:24.680 --> 01:17:28.920 country were the slave plantation owners who founded the Democratic Party. 1284 01:17:30.800 --> 01:17:32.159 You know, while our. 1285 01:17:32.119 --> 01:17:35.359 Founders tried to secure our freedom, our God given freedom 1286 01:17:35.760 --> 01:17:40.840 with the US Constitution, the Democrats tried to make black 1287 01:17:40.880 --> 01:17:45.479 Americans feel and be inferior to white people. And that's 1288 01:17:45.560 --> 01:17:47.319 what they did to try to maintain. 1289 01:17:47.119 --> 01:17:49.520 And that's not in the past, my friend, that continues 1290 01:17:49.560 --> 01:17:50.319 through to today. 1291 01:17:50.520 --> 01:17:53.199 So absolutely, that's what I was going to say. The 1292 01:17:53.319 --> 01:17:58.000 same class as Richie leads runs our education system today. 1293 01:17:58.760 --> 01:18:05.039 And after Douglas, Thomas Sewle and late Walder Williams wrote 1294 01:18:05.119 --> 01:18:08.720 extensively about this, and both of them are quoted in 1295 01:18:08.800 --> 01:18:16.279 my book. Black black students are assumed to be inferior 1296 01:18:16.880 --> 01:18:22.439 and advanced through our system without achieving And you know, 1297 01:18:22.560 --> 01:18:26.479 for the friend, Walder Williams called this a fraudulent education. 1298 01:18:27.920 --> 01:18:30.880 A friend of mine is a black lady who owns 1299 01:18:31.359 --> 01:18:35.800 her own scientific related business. She taught science for a 1300 01:18:35.920 --> 01:18:40.159 year in a Cincinnati public school, mostly black high school. 1301 01:18:41.039 --> 01:18:41.520 She she. 1302 01:18:43.319 --> 01:18:46.039 Assigned them. She gave them two weeks and assigned them 1303 01:18:46.319 --> 01:18:49.760 to do a report on a scientific subject, but no 1304 01:18:49.920 --> 01:18:52.720 one did the report because they said they didn't know 1305 01:18:52.880 --> 01:18:56.159 how to write a report. So she took the time 1306 01:18:56.319 --> 01:18:59.079 to teach them how to write a report, and every 1307 01:18:59.159 --> 01:19:02.640 student turned in a report. She was criticized for that 1308 01:19:02.880 --> 01:19:05.640 because somebody else was supposed to teach him how to 1309 01:19:05.680 --> 01:19:08.920 write reports. But she said that in the same high 1310 01:19:08.960 --> 01:19:15.159 school they had all the All the students were congratulated 1311 01:19:15.239 --> 01:19:18.880 whenever they had any kind of athletic achievement, but they 1312 01:19:18.920 --> 01:19:21.640 were never congratulated for academic achievements. 1313 01:19:22.880 --> 01:19:23.800 My co author K. 1314 01:19:24.000 --> 01:19:28.600 Carl Smith has a brother who teaches robotics to black 1315 01:19:28.720 --> 01:19:34.760 children in elementary school, and his students have won awards. 1316 01:19:34.880 --> 01:19:37.159 For the robotics work that they do. 1317 01:19:38.399 --> 01:19:44.239 Their dad, Kay Carl, and his brother's dad was a 1318 01:19:44.399 --> 01:19:48.680 NASA scientist Eisenhower, John F. 1319 01:19:48.800 --> 01:19:50.960 Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr. 1320 01:19:51.600 --> 01:19:54.800 All said that we need to teach black and white 1321 01:19:55.079 --> 01:19:58.640 we need to treat black and white Americans equally, and 1322 01:19:59.239 --> 01:20:01.840 that's exactly what we need to do. One of my 1323 01:20:01.960 --> 01:20:04.880 black classmates from a Catholic high school more than fifty 1324 01:20:04.960 --> 01:20:08.199 years ago, has spent his life as as a medical 1325 01:20:08.319 --> 01:20:10.880 doctor and a psychiatrist. 1326 01:20:12.000 --> 01:20:14.520 The reason we need h one b Vsus. 1327 01:20:14.560 --> 01:20:18.640 Is the Democrat run public schools that discriminate against black 1328 01:20:18.680 --> 01:20:22.479 and white, and black versus white, and male versus female. 1329 01:20:22.760 --> 01:20:25.840 Well, it's a situation. My guess is nick nole, but 1330 01:20:26.119 --> 01:20:29.720 it's you know, remember George W. Bush referred to the 1331 01:20:29.840 --> 01:20:33.119 soft bigotry of low expectations. What we see in the 1332 01:20:33.199 --> 01:20:37.159 Democratic Party is the hard bigotry of no expectations. How 1333 01:20:37.279 --> 01:20:40.680 you see that through the academic standards they set certain 1334 01:20:40.720 --> 01:20:43.520 schools in the inner city. We see that, how they 1335 01:20:43.920 --> 01:20:49.800 how they try to well they and even more insidious, 1336 01:20:49.880 --> 01:20:53.439 I believe, is when they started doing the affirmative action 1337 01:20:54.159 --> 01:21:00.159 and the DEEI where you getting a student to go 1338 01:21:00.359 --> 01:21:05.960 to a ivy League school without having the preparation for 1339 01:21:06.079 --> 01:21:09.680 that and then them fail, and then what that does 1340 01:21:09.760 --> 01:21:13.880 to their psyche because their high school education wasn't to 1341 01:21:13.960 --> 01:21:16.760 the extent that to bring them up to the academic 1342 01:21:16.880 --> 01:21:19.600 standards of going to an IVY lead school. And so 1343 01:21:20.119 --> 01:21:24.119 you are bringing you are are setting somebody up for failure. 1344 01:21:24.800 --> 01:21:27.880 And when I look and you see that even in 1345 01:21:28.279 --> 01:21:34.239 the all the universities that the single biggest class, well 1346 01:21:34.399 --> 01:21:39.920 classes are in the first year remedial English, math and 1347 01:21:41.319 --> 01:21:45.199 history or what's the other one, math and well anyway, 1348 01:21:45.520 --> 01:21:50.000 they're a yeah, there are there are, you know, remedial classes, 1349 01:21:50.239 --> 01:21:54.239 which means that they've graduated from high school and aren't 1350 01:21:54.359 --> 01:21:57.600 up to the standards of the school, whether it be 1351 01:21:57.960 --> 01:22:02.680 Northern Kentucky University, the university, you know, even some of 1352 01:22:02.760 --> 01:22:06.039 the trade schools. And and this is sad. And yet 1353 01:22:06.079 --> 01:22:08.880 we've got the and I you know, I'm sure there's 1354 01:22:08.880 --> 01:22:11.680 a lot of good teachers in the teachers' unions and 1355 01:22:11.880 --> 01:22:14.600 and there's a lot of good teachers out there, but 1356 01:22:14.800 --> 01:22:19.079 by and large, they are they are doing no service 1357 01:22:19.199 --> 01:22:21.880 to their their students and preparing them for the future. 1358 01:22:23.479 --> 01:22:25.840 That's exactly right, Kevin. And when you say that, you 1359 01:22:26.000 --> 01:22:28.600 sound almost exactly like Thomas Soul. 1360 01:22:29.880 --> 01:22:30.920 He says you're doing well. 1361 01:22:31.039 --> 01:22:34.920 Maybe Thomas Soul sounds like me, you know, I don't know, 1362 01:22:35.399 --> 01:22:39.119 he's in his late nineties. Yeah, I know, he's not him. 1363 01:22:41.119 --> 01:22:42.399 He's been talking about this far. 1364 01:22:42.439 --> 01:22:43.439 Oh I know, I know. 1365 01:22:45.760 --> 01:22:48.399 And Walter Williams did too during his whole life. 1366 01:22:48.479 --> 01:22:51.319 And you know he's the one that called our public 1367 01:22:51.479 --> 01:22:55.359 education system a fraudulent system of education. Yeah, because they 1368 01:22:55.439 --> 01:22:58.239 pretend I miss him so badly advancing people. 1369 01:22:58.520 --> 01:23:01.520 Yes, yes he was. He was a great writer and 1370 01:23:03.079 --> 01:23:05.479 a great man to stand up for freedom. 1371 01:23:05.720 --> 01:23:09.239 And you know, we just we have people that we 1372 01:23:09.359 --> 01:23:12.119 can use to do all these jobs that need to 1373 01:23:12.159 --> 01:23:15.439 be done in this country if we had a proper 1374 01:23:15.640 --> 01:23:16.640 education system. 1375 01:23:17.079 --> 01:23:20.279 Well, Nick, even if we do have the proper education system, 1376 01:23:20.439 --> 01:23:23.439 I know of several individuals and I think I had 1377 01:23:23.439 --> 01:23:25.800 a caller the other day when I was in that 1378 01:23:25.880 --> 01:23:29.239 when you get into the programming, when you get into 1379 01:23:29.319 --> 01:23:35.079 data processing and those fields that the people that are 1380 01:23:35.239 --> 01:23:39.560 qualified for that they are being pushed out in favor 1381 01:23:39.720 --> 01:23:44.279 of these H one B visas, h H one B 1382 01:23:44.479 --> 01:23:49.199 visas where they can bring in somebody from another country 1383 01:23:50.000 --> 01:23:52.640 and pay them less money to do the same job. 1384 01:23:53.119 --> 01:23:55.760 There was a story years ago that Disney did this. 1385 01:23:56.199 --> 01:23:58.720 They told their employees that you know you're going to 1386 01:23:58.800 --> 01:24:03.720 be a trained your replacement, and if you don't comply, 1387 01:24:03.920 --> 01:24:06.399 then you're not going to get your severance package, and 1388 01:24:06.560 --> 01:24:09.960 so they had to train the employees to take their jobs, 1389 01:24:10.199 --> 01:24:14.279 which was for less pay. We see this and sometimes 1390 01:24:14.439 --> 01:24:18.479 in where you've seen some of these age discrimination lawsuits 1391 01:24:18.760 --> 01:24:21.439 where somebody who has been doing a job and they 1392 01:24:21.560 --> 01:24:25.199 bring in somebody that's twenty thirty years younger than them 1393 01:24:25.680 --> 01:24:28.399 at less pay to do the same job and push 1394 01:24:28.479 --> 01:24:32.640 the other people out. So this is not just you know, 1395 01:24:33.520 --> 01:24:37.039 African Americans and people that aren't qualified or available to 1396 01:24:37.119 --> 01:24:40.079 do the job. We've got companies that are ignoring the 1397 01:24:40.159 --> 01:24:42.960 people that can do the job in favor of cheaper 1398 01:24:43.079 --> 01:24:44.760 labor and abusing the system. 1399 01:24:45.960 --> 01:24:48.479 That's right, and Disney is known as one of the 1400 01:24:48.680 --> 01:24:52.560 welcust companies because of their efforts to try to bring 1401 01:24:52.640 --> 01:24:57.319 in people who were not qualified and trying. 1402 01:24:57.079 --> 01:25:01.199 To change the way we do things. This is this 1403 01:25:01.439 --> 01:25:02.840 is really an important thing. 1404 01:25:03.359 --> 01:25:07.279 Is there's a huge discrimination between black and white, and 1405 01:25:07.520 --> 01:25:10.079 male and female the way they're treated in our public 1406 01:25:10.279 --> 01:25:13.800 education system. And that's the root of the problem, I believe, 1407 01:25:14.399 --> 01:25:18.520 and and throughout our government. It's not just the education system, 1408 01:25:18.560 --> 01:25:22.039 but throughout our government. People are treated differently based on 1409 01:25:22.159 --> 01:25:27.039 their ethnicity and their sex. And this just needs this 1410 01:25:27.199 --> 01:25:31.680 needs to stop. You know, it's Ike said that Eisenhower 1411 01:25:31.880 --> 01:25:37.319 back in back in the nineteen fifties, you know. JFK 1412 01:25:37.560 --> 01:25:41.439 followed that up, following Eisenhower and Martin Luther King Junior 1413 01:25:41.479 --> 01:25:44.479 said the same thing. We need to treat people equally. 1414 01:25:44.520 --> 01:25:46.840 And as Martin Luther King said, we need to value 1415 01:25:46.920 --> 01:25:50.239 people based on the content of their character, not on 1416 01:25:50.319 --> 01:25:53.880 the color of their skin. And we just we need 1417 01:25:53.960 --> 01:25:56.239 to we need to follow what these amount have told 1418 01:25:56.319 --> 01:25:59.159 us many many years ago. But nobody seems to pay 1419 01:25:59.199 --> 01:26:02.359 attention and it's time that we start paying attention now. 1420 01:26:02.720 --> 01:26:07.319 Yeah, exactly. And we've had the last four years of 1421 01:26:07.479 --> 01:26:11.119 where we have had the effects of and we've seen 1422 01:26:11.399 --> 01:26:15.680 the effects of DEI, we've seen the effects of this 1423 01:26:16.159 --> 01:26:21.039 indoctrination that we've seen in terms of the education system. 1424 01:26:21.760 --> 01:26:25.520 And I think if you're looking for a bright spot 1425 01:26:25.640 --> 01:26:29.199 or silver lining from the pandemic, the fact that so 1426 01:26:29.319 --> 01:26:32.119 many of these kids were at home, the parents had 1427 01:26:32.159 --> 01:26:35.399 to be home as well because their businesses were shut 1428 01:26:35.520 --> 01:26:38.079 down or they were working from home, and they could 1429 01:26:38.079 --> 01:26:41.520 see what their kids were learning. Hopefully this will be 1430 01:26:41.720 --> 01:26:44.439 enough to spur them on to keep in touch with 1431 01:26:44.840 --> 01:26:47.920 what their kids are learning and make sure that these 1432 01:26:48.000 --> 01:26:53.199 curriculums are changed because we're raising an entire group of 1433 01:26:53.359 --> 01:26:57.760 citizens that aren't qualified for the technology that they're going 1434 01:26:57.880 --> 01:27:00.760 to be seeing over the coming years to do the 1435 01:27:00.880 --> 01:27:03.560 job on day one. And that is something that definitely 1436 01:27:03.640 --> 01:27:04.319 has to change. 1437 01:27:05.479 --> 01:27:09.039 That's exactly right. And back back when jd Vance was 1438 01:27:09.199 --> 01:27:12.720 running for Senate, you know, a few years ago, before 1439 01:27:12.760 --> 01:27:14.960 he got the endorsement of Trump to run for Senate, 1440 01:27:15.880 --> 01:27:18.880 I congratulated him one day because it's something he did. 1441 01:27:19.000 --> 01:27:23.079 The Inquire published the story saying that he had snubbed 1442 01:27:23.720 --> 01:27:27.920 the Chamber of Commerce, and I said, why is this? 1443 01:27:28.119 --> 01:27:29.960 And I read the rest of the article and they 1444 01:27:30.000 --> 01:27:32.239 said that he was the only one of the seven 1445 01:27:32.399 --> 01:27:35.800 candidates who did not show up at the Chamber of Commerce. 1446 01:27:35.880 --> 01:27:39.640 They explain why they should, they should endorse him, and 1447 01:27:39.720 --> 01:27:42.920 the reason he didn't is because he said, Hey, I 1448 01:27:43.079 --> 01:27:46.199 know what you want. You want more immigrants coming in here, 1449 01:27:46.720 --> 01:27:49.720 and I want more people, more Americans to be hired 1450 01:27:49.760 --> 01:27:53.039 for jobs. And this is pretty strange. I mean, it 1451 01:27:53.159 --> 01:27:55.319 might be pretty strange to some people to know that 1452 01:27:55.840 --> 01:28:01.199 the JD. Vance's wife is of Indian descent. Both her parents. Yeah, 1453 01:28:01.399 --> 01:28:02.199 we're from India. 1454 01:28:02.800 --> 01:28:06.199 Absolutely, you know, but Quarley for a break here, and 1455 01:28:06.279 --> 01:28:08.199 I want to thank you for spending time with us 1456 01:28:08.239 --> 01:28:10.800 this morning.

I'd like to 1471 01:29:01.159 --> 01:29:05.680 say smoke in the studio because we are on fire 1472 01:29:05.880 --> 01:29:08.880 this morning. I'd like to think legend of my own mind. 1473 01:29:09.800 --> 01:29:12.439 We're talking about all this stuff, these protests, and we're 1474 01:29:12.439 --> 01:29:16.399 actually talking about this terrorist attack in both Las Vegas 1475 01:29:16.520 --> 01:29:21.520 and New Orleans, and we had I saw some of 1476 01:29:21.600 --> 01:29:24.800 these demonstrations that were in the streets in New York yesterday, 1477 01:29:25.560 --> 01:29:27.880 And one of the clips I saw was somebody all 1478 01:29:28.079 --> 01:29:35.279 dressed up in the Palestinian Oh gosh, what is that? 1479 01:29:35.760 --> 01:29:40.000 The thing Kaifa or Kifa whatever, the thing is the 1480 01:29:40.319 --> 01:29:43.479 headdress that they put on with the scarf and the 1481 01:29:43.600 --> 01:29:52.800 symbol those people. I saw somebody screaming, go back to Europe. 1482 01:29:54.680 --> 01:30:00.960 In our streets, we've got Palestinian pro hamas, in my opinion, 1483 01:30:01.680 --> 01:30:08.840 terrorists protesting because we support Israel. Now, where are the cameras, 1484 01:30:09.560 --> 01:30:13.960 Where are the facial recognition of that? Where are these people? 1485 01:30:14.239 --> 01:30:18.119 Why are these ringleaders not being rounded up, looked at, 1486 01:30:18.319 --> 01:30:22.680 investigated to see what their ties are. Yet, if you 1487 01:30:22.840 --> 01:30:27.399 go to a school board meeting and you raise your 1488 01:30:27.560 --> 01:30:32.479 voice because your kid is being indoctrinated, then all of 1489 01:30:32.520 --> 01:30:36.359 a sudden you're a domestic terrorist. The biggest threat in 1490 01:30:36.479 --> 01:30:41.520 this country, according to Joe Biden, was not you know, communism, 1491 01:30:42.079 --> 01:30:46.439 was not red, it was not Jijingping and communist China. 1492 01:30:47.760 --> 01:30:52.039 It wasn't anything else other than white supremacists. That they 1493 01:30:52.079 --> 01:30:56.479 were the biggest threat other than Donald Trump to democracy. 1494 01:30:57.600 --> 01:31:01.960 And yet you've got these people that are actually celebrating 1495 01:31:02.720 --> 01:31:08.359 the murder of twelve hundred and thereabouts of Israelis on 1496 01:31:08.479 --> 01:31:13.119 October seventh, and you've got the hostages that are still 1497 01:31:13.479 --> 01:31:18.840 being held. There are what still eight American hostages? Where 1498 01:31:18.960 --> 01:31:22.479 has been the outcry from any And I criticize Fox 1499 01:31:22.600 --> 01:31:25.680 on this as well. What are they saying? Why are 1500 01:31:25.760 --> 01:31:31.399 they still showing the same story and the same clips 1501 01:31:31.720 --> 01:31:36.000 show after show after show after show. Do some independent thought, 1502 01:31:36.399 --> 01:31:40.640 get to another subject, talk about another issue other than 1503 01:31:41.159 --> 01:31:44.239 just you know, the same thing over and over and 1504 01:31:44.399 --> 01:31:48.520 over again, have a little bit of originality. Where is 1505 01:31:48.600 --> 01:31:53.359 anybody caring about these hostages? Why isn't anybody talking about that? 1506 01:31:54.079 --> 01:31:56.680 Why isn't their pressure on the government to do this? 1507 01:31:57.199 --> 01:32:02.520 Now they're saying, oh, yeah, we're working through diplomatic efforts, 1508 01:32:02.840 --> 01:32:06.039 so on. Well, you know what needs to be done 1509 01:32:06.279 --> 01:32:09.840 is of course that Donald Trump has said those hostages 1510 01:32:09.960 --> 01:32:12.880 better be released or they're all hell will be paid. 1511 01:32:13.439 --> 01:32:15.520 There will be hell to be paid. And those are 1512 01:32:15.520 --> 01:32:17.840 the kinds of things. That's the kind of rheter that 1513 01:32:18.039 --> 01:32:21.560 is necessary in order to end this. You put the 1514 01:32:21.680 --> 01:32:25.640 fear of God in your enemies. You don't have you know, 1515 01:32:25.800 --> 01:32:28.640 if they fear you, you don't have to fight them. 1516 01:32:29.600 --> 01:32:31.479 And that is one of the things that has been 1517 01:32:31.520 --> 01:32:36.279 missing from this administration, among other things, leadership to begin with, 1518 01:32:36.760 --> 01:32:39.439 and maybe some people in charge of the government that 1519 01:32:39.560 --> 01:32:42.600 actually likes this country. That would be a novel thought 1520 01:32:43.079 --> 01:32:45.399 five one three seven four nine fifty five D one 1521 01:32:45.439 --> 01:32:47.720 eight hundred eight two three talk one eight hundred eight 1522 01:32:47.720 --> 01:32:50.399 two three eight two five five pound five point fifty 1523 01:32:50.720 --> 01:32:53.439 at and T wireless funk Kevin Gordon in for Brian 1524 01:32:53.520 --> 01:32:56.159 Thomas fifty five K see the talk station. 1525 01:32:56.560 --> 01:32:57.039 What's up. 1526 01:33:06.520 --> 01:33:08.840 Seven nine in the morning, Kevin Gordon and for Brian 1527 01:33:08.880 --> 01:33:12.920 Thomas fifty five K see the talk station.

And like I said, I've been a cop 1547 01:34:34.119 --> 01:34:36.960 for thirty six years. And they go into details on 1548 01:34:37.039 --> 01:34:43.760 the police report four years his record. Police report that 1549 01:34:43.880 --> 01:34:46.079 the woman identified him as a man who just in 1550 01:34:46.199 --> 01:34:50.199 her room. Woman showed officers a text exchange between them 1551 01:34:50.239 --> 01:34:53.319 where Shoonover agreed to meet her for half an hour 1552 01:34:53.479 --> 01:34:58.199 for two hundred dollars. You know, I believe that this particular, 1553 01:34:58.319 --> 01:35:02.039 at least Blue Ash, There's been a couple of hotels 1554 01:35:02.079 --> 01:35:06.000 and hotels up there that have been the subject of 1555 01:35:06.239 --> 01:35:09.399 police things over the last couple of years, and you 1556 01:35:09.439 --> 01:35:13.640 would think that people would know better, that they would 1557 01:35:15.079 --> 01:35:19.000 have a better understanding of what's going and especially a 1558 01:35:19.079 --> 01:35:23.920 retired police officer for crying out loud knowing that these 1559 01:35:23.960 --> 01:35:28.239 sting operations happen. When you are doing something via text, 1560 01:35:28.640 --> 01:35:31.800 when you're doing something online, you don't know if the 1561 01:35:31.880 --> 01:35:35.079 person on the other end is actually who they say 1562 01:35:35.199 --> 01:35:40.359 they are, and if you're going to meet them, chances 1563 01:35:40.399 --> 01:35:42.800 are it may not be who you think they are 1564 01:35:42.840 --> 01:35:46.439 and it may be a sting operation. So I gesz, 1565 01:35:46.680 --> 01:35:51.640 I gotta wonder. Police are in me see man dead 1566 01:35:51.680 --> 01:35:54.720 after a Price Heal shooting.

Since February, almost a year. 1600 01:38:09.439 --> 01:38:13.319 Property managers weren't on site Wednesday when WCPO was there. 1601 01:38:13.720 --> 01:38:15.880 We wanted to ask if they knew about the pilot 1602 01:38:15.960 --> 01:38:18.199 trash and were being done about it. I mean, the 1603 01:38:18.279 --> 01:38:22.119 residents of the facility should be raising hell, they should 1604 01:38:22.119 --> 01:38:24.960 be talking to the apartment complex owners and getting it 1605 01:38:25.079 --> 01:38:28.920 taken care of. That is just absolutely ridiculous. Now. I 1606 01:38:29.079 --> 01:38:32.159 know living in a condo complex that from time to 1607 01:38:32.279 --> 01:38:36.600 time the folks that abuse our dumpsters and overfill those 1608 01:38:36.720 --> 01:38:39.000 and put stuff in there that they're not supposed to. 1609 01:38:39.520 --> 01:38:41.840 The condo board does try to crack down on that 1610 01:38:41.960 --> 01:38:45.079 and try to keep that to a minimum. But I'll 1611 01:38:45.119 --> 01:38:48.319 tell you, you know, when you're living among people, you 1612 01:38:48.479 --> 01:38:57.039 really realize how irresponsible, how just not only irresponsible, but 1613 01:38:57.239 --> 01:39:02.239 inconsiderate of others. The box generally says, you know, specifically, 1614 01:39:02.640 --> 01:39:05.039 break down the boxes. But I guess that's too much 1615 01:39:05.079 --> 01:39:08.000 for people to comprehend and do, so that's why some 1616 01:39:08.079 --> 01:39:11.800 of these are overflowing. But and since February, that's ridiculous. 1617 01:39:12.000 --> 01:39:14.640 Five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred one, 1618 01:39:14.720 --> 01:39:17.239 eight hundred eighty two three talk one, eight hundred eight 1619 01:39:17.279 --> 01:39:20.079 two three A two, five five pound, five point fifty 1620 01:39:20.439 --> 01:39:23.960 AT and T wireless phone.

You know, sometimes I 1624 01:39:43.279 --> 01:39:45.000 just want to let the music go, but I know 1625 01:39:45.079 --> 01:39:46.840 we're not supposed to do that. But this is one 1626 01:39:46.880 --> 01:39:49.520 of my songs. It's one of the songs I've used 1627 01:39:49.560 --> 01:39:51.680 to listen to on and on and on. It's always 1628 01:39:51.680 --> 01:39:53.199 great to hear some of these that you haven't heard 1629 01:39:53.239 --> 01:39:55.680 for a long time. Anyway. Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, 1630 01:39:55.720 --> 01:39:59.520 fifty five KR See the talk station. Phone numbers five one, three, seven, four, nine, 1631 01:39:59.560 --> 01:40:02.279 fifty five one, eight hundred eight two three talk one, 1632 01:40:02.319 --> 01:40:05.039 eight hundred eight two three eight two, five five pound, 1633 01:40:05.159 --> 01:40:08.800 five point fifty AT and T wireless phone. Some stories 1634 01:40:09.359 --> 01:40:14.119 that are percolating under the actually what people are talking about, 1635 01:40:14.520 --> 01:40:17.319 which are going to rear their ugly heads later on 1636 01:40:17.479 --> 01:40:20.560 in the month or coming up. And I thought, you know, 1637 01:40:21.000 --> 01:40:22.880 we've talked a little bit, or we talk a lot 1638 01:40:22.960 --> 01:40:26.079 about the terrorist attack down in New Orleans and then 1639 01:40:26.439 --> 01:40:32.279 Las Vegas. I've been talking about that and some other things, which, again, 1640 01:40:33.239 --> 01:40:37.960 the overall arching situation here is that we as the 1641 01:40:38.039 --> 01:40:41.239 American people, have been lied to, and we have caught 1642 01:40:41.479 --> 01:40:46.039 our elected officials lying to us so many times that 1643 01:40:46.680 --> 01:40:49.560 when they tell us something at press conferences, we don't 1644 01:40:49.560 --> 01:40:53.720 believe them. And then they get upset with us when 1645 01:40:53.720 --> 01:40:58.359 we go online and indicate what our thoughts are or 1646 01:40:58.520 --> 01:41:02.119 some of the conspiracy theories or trying to connect the dots, 1647 01:41:02.319 --> 01:41:04.439 they don't like that. They want to take those posts down. 1648 01:41:05.600 --> 01:41:10.479 Freedom of information, you know, buyer beware if you don't 1649 01:41:11.079 --> 01:41:15.840 you know, if you see something, you know the old thing. 1650 01:41:16.039 --> 01:41:19.000 Can you remember when the internet first started, people would 1651 01:41:19.039 --> 01:41:21.039 make the joke about, well, if it's on the Internet, 1652 01:41:21.119 --> 01:41:23.479 it's got to be true. Well, we know that's not true. 1653 01:41:23.560 --> 01:41:28.640 So if you see something that appears that it may 1654 01:41:28.720 --> 01:41:34.039 even be legit, check it out yourself. Don't rely I mean, 1655 01:41:34.239 --> 01:41:36.039 if you're not going to rely on what the people 1656 01:41:36.079 --> 01:41:38.039 are going to tell you the press conference, don't rely 1657 01:41:38.399 --> 01:41:42.760 on whoever is posting on their particular account until you 1658 01:41:42.880 --> 01:41:45.479 trust that source. I mean, there's darn few people that 1659 01:41:45.600 --> 01:41:49.640 when I get a posting or read a post or 1660 01:41:49.760 --> 01:41:52.359 get a text from them, that I immediately react and 1661 01:41:52.439 --> 01:41:55.159 want to share it immediately. I usually check them out. 1662 01:41:55.319 --> 01:41:57.399 So I had to caution everybody to do the same. 1663 01:41:57.640 --> 01:42:01.079 But one of the stories that is coming up, and 1664 01:42:02.560 --> 01:42:05.520 we got a dock worker's potential strike on the East coast. 1665 01:42:05.600 --> 01:42:09.439 You may recall back on October II, right before a 1666 01:42:09.520 --> 01:42:13.000 month before the election, the dock workers on the East 1667 01:42:13.039 --> 01:42:15.880 coast went on strike. Now the dock workers on the 1668 01:42:15.960 --> 01:42:20.760 West coast went well, they had a partial shutdown. They 1669 01:42:20.800 --> 01:42:23.880 were doing a work, a slowdown, and that's when you 1670 01:42:23.960 --> 01:42:26.680 started seeing all those container ships out in the bay 1671 01:42:27.039 --> 01:42:29.159 and back out in the ocean. At one time there 1672 01:42:29.239 --> 01:42:33.359 was something like sixty that were waiting there to be unloaded. Well, 1673 01:42:34.119 --> 01:42:37.239 Texas started saying, hey we've got a port. South Carolina 1674 01:42:37.319 --> 01:42:40.000 said hey we've got a port. Virginia said hey we've 1675 01:42:40.039 --> 01:42:42.520 got a port. New York, New Jersey hey, we've got 1676 01:42:42.560 --> 01:42:42.920 a port. 1677 01:42:43.199 --> 01:42:43.439 People. 1678 01:42:43.840 --> 01:42:47.039 Those ships started going through the Panama Canal up the 1679 01:42:47.079 --> 01:42:49.399 East coast, and the time it would have taken for 1680 01:42:49.479 --> 01:42:51.600 them to unload on the West coast, they could have 1681 01:42:51.680 --> 01:42:55.479 been on the East coast unloading those goods. And then 1682 01:42:55.479 --> 01:42:58.640 when things started getting back to normal, people said, or 1683 01:42:58.960 --> 01:43:01.479 it seemed as though that people were more used to 1684 01:43:01.640 --> 01:43:05.279 going to the East coast, and so those docks were 1685 01:43:05.640 --> 01:43:09.279 very busy and taking a lot of volume from the 1686 01:43:09.399 --> 01:43:12.920 West coast, and so the West coast their numbers were off. 1687 01:43:13.399 --> 01:43:18.119 Those have started to level out now, but back in October, 1688 01:43:18.319 --> 01:43:20.720 of course, Now all of a sudden this year you 1689 01:43:20.880 --> 01:43:24.800 have the contract for the East coast dock workers, and 1690 01:43:24.920 --> 01:43:27.560 they're a little bit more militant, if you will, than 1691 01:43:27.640 --> 01:43:30.520 what the West Coast were, and they're complaining and they 1692 01:43:30.600 --> 01:43:34.600 want to have the same salary as the West Coast, 1693 01:43:35.000 --> 01:43:37.159 even though on the East Coast in some of these 1694 01:43:37.199 --> 01:43:40.359 locations the cost of living certainly isn't as much as 1695 01:43:40.439 --> 01:43:43.039 it is in the Port of Los Angeles, the Port 1696 01:43:43.159 --> 01:43:46.800 of Long Beach, the Port of up in Portland, or 1697 01:43:46.920 --> 01:43:50.880 in Washington along the West coast there. So that's a 1698 01:43:50.920 --> 01:43:54.760 sticking point. But the big sticking point is is they 1699 01:43:54.840 --> 01:44:00.520 want in the contract. They don't want any automation at 1700 01:44:00.600 --> 01:44:04.680 the ports because of fear of losing jobs. So I 1701 01:44:04.880 --> 01:44:08.640 guess these people all go to work on horses and 1702 01:44:09.039 --> 01:44:12.880 ride buggage buggies and carriages. They probably don't carry cell 1703 01:44:12.960 --> 01:44:19.399 phones with them because that's technology and the current contract 1704 01:44:20.199 --> 01:44:25.560 says and they want that even rolled back the negotiations 1705 01:44:25.600 --> 01:44:28.840 that they had before that allowed a certain amount of automation, 1706 01:44:29.520 --> 01:44:32.960 they want that pulled back. Now there are studies from 1707 01:44:33.079 --> 01:44:37.439 over in Europe where they have gone more automated than 1708 01:44:37.520 --> 01:44:40.439 here in the United States, and what they found is 1709 01:44:40.520 --> 01:44:43.439 that they put through they can be more efficient, they 1710 01:44:43.520 --> 01:44:46.600 can have a higher volume, and actually leads to hiring 1711 01:44:46.720 --> 01:44:50.520 more employees. So these dock workers on the East Coast 1712 01:44:50.760 --> 01:44:52.479 are being a little bit short sighted. 1713 01:44:52.760 --> 01:44:52.920 Now. 1714 01:44:52.960 --> 01:44:56.520 This three weeks or this three day work stoppage strike 1715 01:44:56.600 --> 01:45:00.239 that they went on on October third, back things up 1716 01:45:00.319 --> 01:45:03.399 for up to almost a week or two, and knowing 1717 01:45:03.479 --> 01:45:05.039 that this was going to happen, a lot of the 1718 01:45:05.119 --> 01:45:10.319 shippers started shipping their stuff in early because knowing that 1719 01:45:10.439 --> 01:45:13.079 they had to get their stuff in prior to the 1720 01:45:13.199 --> 01:45:15.880 holidays and wanted to make sure that that was available, 1721 01:45:16.199 --> 01:45:18.359 just brought some of the stuff in early, put it 1722 01:45:18.399 --> 01:45:22.760 in warehouses available for the Christmas season. Now they're supposed to. 1723 01:45:22.840 --> 01:45:25.199 Now they have not been back to the negotiating table. 1724 01:45:26.199 --> 01:45:31.159 The dock workers have avoided the contract negotiations. They have 1725 01:45:31.279 --> 01:45:34.199 refused to come to the table because again they are 1726 01:45:34.279 --> 01:45:38.880 insisting on no automation at all or very little, and 1727 01:45:39.720 --> 01:45:43.239 that's a sticking point. Now they are scheduled to meet 1728 01:45:43.439 --> 01:45:46.800 on January the seventh, and they are set to go 1729 01:45:46.960 --> 01:45:50.800 on strike. I think it's when the heck are they 1730 01:45:50.840 --> 01:45:53.079 supposed to go on strike. I think it's right around 1731 01:45:53.119 --> 01:45:56.479 the eighteenth or something around those lines, like right before 1732 01:45:56.600 --> 01:46:00.439 on the fifteenth or so, right before the inauguration. And 1733 01:46:00.680 --> 01:46:04.439 this is something that up until then, January fifteenth is 1734 01:46:04.479 --> 01:46:10.039 their deadline. This is something that the Biden administration needs 1735 01:46:10.119 --> 01:46:12.319 to get on top of and make sure that this 1736 01:46:12.520 --> 01:46:16.960 doesn't happen, because this not only affects, you know, the 1737 01:46:17.119 --> 01:46:20.800 ports there, but also affects the supply chain. And the 1738 01:46:20.920 --> 01:46:24.039 last thing we need after the pandemic, and what we've 1739 01:46:24.079 --> 01:46:27.359 been experiencing over the last couple of years is supply 1740 01:46:27.560 --> 01:46:33.920 chain interruptions. This is a form of uh necessary fulfillment 1741 01:46:34.079 --> 01:46:36.880 as far as our economy is concerned, and to a 1742 01:46:36.960 --> 01:46:40.439 certain extent national defense. So we'll see how this goes. 1743 01:46:41.079 --> 01:46:44.000 Phone numbers five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty one, 1744 01:46:44.039 --> 01:46:46.439 eight hundred eight two three talk one, eight hundred eight 1745 01:46:46.439 --> 01:46:49.119 two three eight two, five five pound, five point fifty 1746 01:46:49.479 --> 01:46:52.960 AT and T wireless phone.

Phone 1752 01:47:15.640 --> 01:47:19.079 numbers five to one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five one, 1753 01:47:19.119 --> 01:47:21.680 eight hundred eight two three talk one, eight hundred eighty 1754 01:47:21.680 --> 01:47:24.279 two three eight two five five pound, five point fifty 1755 01:47:24.640 --> 01:47:27.600 AT and T wireless phone. Now the stock workers strike. 1756 01:47:27.680 --> 01:47:30.000 I've got a couple other points here before we move on. 1757 01:47:30.439 --> 01:47:34.680 International Longshoreman's Association reached a tenet of deal with the 1758 01:47:34.800 --> 01:47:39.359 ocean carriers and terminal operators. We get this, a sixty 1759 01:47:39.720 --> 01:47:47.119 two percent wage increase over six years. Over six years. Now, 1760 01:47:47.439 --> 01:47:50.319 my math tells me that that's about a six percent 1761 01:47:50.600 --> 01:47:53.359 increase year over year over year. Now, some of that 1762 01:47:53.520 --> 01:47:59.039 may be front loaded, the raises are less afterwards, you know, 1763 01:47:59.119 --> 01:48:02.800 maybe six ten percent now ten percent next year, and 1764 01:48:02.840 --> 01:48:05.359 then falling off. I don't know all the individual details, 1765 01:48:05.600 --> 01:48:10.119 but this affects fifteen different ports from as far north 1766 01:48:10.199 --> 01:48:13.880 as Boston to as far south as Tampa, Florida, So 1767 01:48:14.159 --> 01:48:17.239 all up and down the East Coast and into the 1768 01:48:17.319 --> 01:48:20.159 Gulf Coast is where these ports are. And of course 1769 01:48:20.399 --> 01:48:24.119 talking about ports not only in Houston, Mobile, Alabama, and 1770 01:48:24.199 --> 01:48:26.800 then all the way up the East coast. So this 1771 01:48:26.920 --> 01:48:30.159 could really throw a wrench into the economy if this 1772 01:48:31.880 --> 01:48:36.479 strike were to happen. And when they were talking about 1773 01:48:36.560 --> 01:48:40.960 this back in October, they were talking about what these 1774 01:48:41.760 --> 01:48:44.840 dock workers were making, and they said that based on 1775 01:48:44.920 --> 01:48:47.880 their current contract and what they were making, it is 1776 01:48:48.119 --> 01:48:53.159 very easy for these dock workers to make almost a 1777 01:48:53.279 --> 01:48:56.640 base pay of around one hundred thousand dollars to a 1778 01:48:56.880 --> 01:49:01.000 top end with overtime and such, to almost two hundred 1779 01:49:01.039 --> 01:49:05.880 thousand dollars a year. Now sixty two percent pay increase 1780 01:49:05.960 --> 01:49:08.600 on top of that. Now that is not going to 1781 01:49:08.680 --> 01:49:12.079 be absorbed by the ports. I mean, that is going 1782 01:49:12.159 --> 01:49:14.960 to be added to the products that come into those 1783 01:49:15.079 --> 01:49:18.000 ports that get added to the goods that go on 1784 01:49:18.159 --> 01:49:21.039 to our shelves eventually, So we are going to be 1785 01:49:21.119 --> 01:49:23.840 picking the tab up for this. And when you're talking 1786 01:49:23.840 --> 01:49:27.439 about trying to tame inflation, the Federal Reserve keeps saying 1787 01:49:27.520 --> 01:49:30.359 that they're concerned about inflation, trying to get that down 1788 01:49:30.399 --> 01:49:33.319 to two percent. But when you're giving and when you 1789 01:49:33.439 --> 01:49:36.199 look at the last year, you had the United Autoworkers 1790 01:49:36.239 --> 01:49:38.760 that went on strike, they got a hefty pay raise, 1791 01:49:39.159 --> 01:49:43.279 ups got a health hefty pay raise, the railroad workers 1792 01:49:43.479 --> 01:49:45.880 got a hefty pay raise, the dock workers on the 1793 01:49:45.960 --> 01:49:49.560 West Coast got a healthy pay raise. I'm still looking 1794 01:49:49.600 --> 01:49:51.880 for ours, and I'm sure a lot of people around 1795 01:49:52.119 --> 01:49:54.680 were and a lot of people listening they're looking for 1796 01:49:54.760 --> 01:49:57.720 a hefty pay raise. They would like a ten or 1797 01:49:57.800 --> 01:50:01.880 fifteen percent pay raise to key pace. I mean, look 1798 01:50:01.920 --> 01:50:04.039 at the number of people out there that are still 1799 01:50:04.119 --> 01:50:07.079 living paycheck to paycheck, and things are not getting better. 1800 01:50:07.159 --> 01:50:12.399 Even with inflation coming down a bit, the month is 1801 01:50:12.520 --> 01:50:15.880 still longer than the paycheck. People are putting more money 1802 01:50:15.960 --> 01:50:18.359 on their credit cards, and we've got a story about 1803 01:50:18.560 --> 01:50:21.279 the number of defaults that the defaults on credit cards 1804 01:50:21.520 --> 01:50:25.239 are increasing, which means that which tells you that people 1805 01:50:25.399 --> 01:50:28.000 have put too much and they can't afford the payments. 1806 01:50:28.159 --> 01:50:31.680 They're falling behind. We've seen this as far as the economy, 1807 01:50:31.960 --> 01:50:36.359 and when we talk in terms of inflation, inflation, when 1808 01:50:36.399 --> 01:50:39.000 you hear the number is not just a one off, 1809 01:50:39.640 --> 01:50:43.720 it's not okay. The inflation this month was point two percent, 1810 01:50:44.039 --> 01:50:47.279 and on an annualized basis it was two point four 1811 01:50:47.399 --> 01:50:50.600 percent or whatever. And then back in June of twenty 1812 01:50:50.680 --> 01:50:53.479 twenty two, when inflation got up as high for that 1813 01:50:53.640 --> 01:50:56.720 period of nine point one percent, that's just not a 1814 01:50:58.520 --> 01:51:01.800 shot up and then comes back down to zero. That 1815 01:51:02.239 --> 01:51:05.720 is baked into the mix at that point. So the 1816 01:51:05.840 --> 01:51:08.720 following month, if you're at nine point one percent and 1817 01:51:08.800 --> 01:51:12.279 then you come in at ae point two percent, then 1818 01:51:12.359 --> 01:51:14.680 that gets added on top of that nine point one 1819 01:51:15.119 --> 01:51:17.000 And so that's why you're looking at a lot of 1820 01:51:17.039 --> 01:51:19.880 these prices when you're looking at the cost of things 1821 01:51:20.199 --> 01:51:23.800 from four years ago to today, where you see these 1822 01:51:23.920 --> 01:51:27.159 price discrepancies, and especially this comes true, I mean when 1823 01:51:27.159 --> 01:51:30.600 you start seeing the individual price increases on a day, 1824 01:51:30.880 --> 01:51:33.560 on a weekly basis at the grocery store. Obviously, have 1825 01:51:33.600 --> 01:51:36.000 you seen the price of eggs going up forty five 1826 01:51:36.079 --> 01:51:38.079 percent when you look at some of the other things 1827 01:51:38.159 --> 01:51:41.199 going up twenty one, twenty two percent that's been eased 1828 01:51:41.239 --> 01:51:43.159 in over the period of time. And yes, when you 1829 01:51:43.279 --> 01:51:46.159 look back on your purchases, yes it stands out. But 1830 01:51:46.279 --> 01:51:48.399 some of these big ticket items that you only pay 1831 01:51:48.760 --> 01:51:51.880 maybe something like every four years or buy every four years, 1832 01:51:52.319 --> 01:51:56.000 or an appliance, you see these prices darn near double 1833 01:51:56.399 --> 01:51:59.920 over the last four years. And it is absolutely sticker shocked. 1834 01:52:00.319 --> 01:52:04.720 And so when you're talking about these increasing wages and 1835 01:52:04.800 --> 01:52:09.199 then you're talking about are still high energy prices, something's 1836 01:52:09.239 --> 01:52:12.239 got to give. Those energy prices come down. We can 1837 01:52:12.319 --> 01:52:16.479 get back to a level of energy independence and start 1838 01:52:16.600 --> 01:52:19.920 being energy dominant in this country, which will certainly help 1839 01:52:20.159 --> 01:52:23.479 reduce that inflation. But we're also going to have to, 1840 01:52:23.680 --> 01:52:27.119 you know, with raising wages, you're going to have to 1841 01:52:27.239 --> 01:52:29.920 start doing an awful lot of productivity and a lot 1842 01:52:30.039 --> 01:52:32.920 more sales so companies can afford this, and so people 1843 01:52:33.000 --> 01:52:36.880 can afford what they're paying out there. Coming up top 1844 01:52:36.880 --> 01:52:40.680 of the hour, we'll get into some other stuff, especially 1845 01:52:41.159 --> 01:52:43.640 some of the with the cold spell, what that's doing 1846 01:52:43.760 --> 01:52:48.079 to gas prices, and what kind of forward thinking what 1847 01:52:48.199 --> 01:52:50.880 we're going to be seeing in the coming months. I'm 1848 01:52:50.960 --> 01:52:53.600 Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five k see 1849 01:52:53.720 --> 01:52:54.439 the talk station. 1850 01:52:54.640 --> 01:52:58.720 It's a new year, new resolutions, new promises. This is 1851 01:52:58.800 --> 01:53:02.119 a real world impact. Same from Washington. 1852 01:53:02.199 --> 01:53:05.359 It's just another year of keeping you at four fifty 1853 01:53:05.439 --> 01:53:09.560 five KRC the talk station, right. 1854 01:53:16.319 --> 01:53:21.439 Six minutes after eight o'clock, Kevin Gordon here, Happy Friday 1855 01:53:21.600 --> 01:53:25.800 to you. Happy first Friday of January, the tenth day 1856 01:53:25.920 --> 01:53:30.079 of Christmas. You know, we have this story at the 1857 01:53:30.079 --> 01:53:32.239 top of the hour talking about this cold spell that's 1858 01:53:32.239 --> 01:53:35.319 getting ready to hit the United States and this Arctic blast. 1859 01:53:36.000 --> 01:53:39.159 Same thing is going on over in Europe. Although we 1860 01:53:39.479 --> 01:53:43.199 are probably in a much better situation energy wise to 1861 01:53:43.439 --> 01:53:48.119 handle that because of our stockpiles, because of our assets 1862 01:53:48.479 --> 01:53:52.000 are liquid gold, and because of the natural gas that 1863 01:53:52.119 --> 01:53:55.880 we do here in the United States, far different situation 1864 01:53:56.199 --> 01:53:59.000 over in Europe. They are experiencing the same type of 1865 01:53:59.079 --> 01:54:02.920 cold that we are here. Now, There's was a story 1866 01:54:02.960 --> 01:54:05.800 a couple of weeks ago when I covered that on 1867 01:54:05.880 --> 01:54:09.760 the on this program. A dunk called flueta, a dunkled 1868 01:54:09.800 --> 01:54:13.920 fluta as they refer to it, which is a situation 1869 01:54:14.079 --> 01:54:17.680 where over there in Europe they have gone so much 1870 01:54:17.840 --> 01:54:24.479 into this green energy windmills and solar that it's not 1871 01:54:24.680 --> 01:54:27.960 keeping that it's not sustainable because in the winter months, 1872 01:54:28.319 --> 01:54:32.079 when it's cold and you need that electric Jennifer generation 1873 01:54:33.359 --> 01:54:37.279 it the wind doesn't blow. And so they are hurting 1874 01:54:37.359 --> 01:54:41.199 over there and having to import more natural gas. Now 1875 01:54:41.800 --> 01:54:43.960 one of the crazy things that a lot of people 1876 01:54:44.000 --> 01:54:47.720 don't talk about, and and I'm I you know, this 1877 01:54:47.960 --> 01:54:51.600 is just one as I've learned about, this boggles my mind. 1878 01:54:52.560 --> 01:54:58.640 Up until January, the first gas liquid natural gas was 1879 01:54:58.760 --> 01:55:04.159 flowing from ruck into the European Union and through other 1880 01:55:04.399 --> 01:55:09.039 areas aroundabout ways getting into Europe. At one point, before 1881 01:55:09.279 --> 01:55:13.520 Russia invaded Ukraine, forty percent of the natural gas going 1882 01:55:13.600 --> 01:55:19.159 into Germany and the European Union was from Russia. And 1883 01:55:19.920 --> 01:55:23.159 you may recall back in twenty seventeen, Donald Trump before 1884 01:55:23.159 --> 01:55:28.359 the UN was warning that the dependence on Russia was 1885 01:55:28.600 --> 01:55:30.119 not the way to go, that you're going to be 1886 01:55:30.159 --> 01:55:34.960 held hostage by them. And very famous thing that where 1887 01:55:35.039 --> 01:55:37.359 you saw you can see it on YouTube where the 1888 01:55:37.479 --> 01:55:40.399 German delegation are just laughing their butts off, like you know, 1889 01:55:40.520 --> 01:55:42.319 who is this crazy? You didn't know what the hell 1890 01:55:42.359 --> 01:55:46.479 he's talking about. And then of course Russia invades Ukraine. 1891 01:55:46.920 --> 01:55:49.720 Then Russia says, oh, well, if you're going to buy 1892 01:55:50.239 --> 01:55:53.880 gas from US, you have to pay in rubles because 1893 01:55:54.159 --> 01:55:57.479 that's the only thing we'll accept. Well, then those supplies 1894 01:55:57.560 --> 01:56:00.760 cut down, and so Germany was left of having to 1895 01:56:00.880 --> 01:56:03.760 scramble around to where they could get natural gas from 1896 01:56:03.840 --> 01:56:07.319 other countries Norway, the United States and so on. This 1897 01:56:07.520 --> 01:56:10.960 has now gone down to something in the neighborhood of 1898 01:56:11.039 --> 01:56:15.520 fifteen percent of their needs. And the crazy thing here 1899 01:56:15.760 --> 01:56:21.079 is is that this natural gas pipeline has crossed and 1900 01:56:21.239 --> 01:56:26.359 gone through Ukraine. Now let that sink in for a moment. 1901 01:56:27.199 --> 01:56:30.039 You've got a company or you've got a country Russia 1902 01:56:30.560 --> 01:56:36.640 that invage Ukraine because of the Biden energy policy of 1903 01:56:36.800 --> 01:56:41.079 cutting production, stops selling at leases, and we start buying 1904 01:56:41.159 --> 01:56:45.680 and importing more money or more oil from Opek. And 1905 01:56:45.800 --> 01:56:48.439 so the price of oil goes up from where it 1906 01:56:48.600 --> 01:56:53.039 was during the Trump administration around fifty dollars a barrel, 1907 01:56:53.520 --> 01:56:56.039 up over seventy dollars a barrel, and at the height 1908 01:56:56.600 --> 01:57:00.760 of once the invasion took place, got up to as 1909 01:57:00.840 --> 01:57:03.079 high as a dollar or one hundred and twenty dollars 1910 01:57:03.119 --> 01:57:06.880 a barrel, and so these OPEC countries were making money 1911 01:57:07.000 --> 01:57:12.199 hand over fist, and nobody drills for oil cheaper, cleaner, 1912 01:57:12.279 --> 01:57:15.680 and more energy efficiently than here in the United States. 1913 01:57:16.359 --> 01:57:19.520 And so we can drill for oil and make money 1914 01:57:19.720 --> 01:57:24.000 at fifty sixty dollars a barrel over there. They need 1915 01:57:24.119 --> 01:57:26.319 that price up. As a matter of fact, Saudi Arabia 1916 01:57:26.520 --> 01:57:29.760 wants it up around ninety dollars a barrel, and they 1917 01:57:30.000 --> 01:57:34.159 keep pushing for that. So with this added revenue to Iran, 1918 01:57:34.800 --> 01:57:37.880 And because they're supposed to be sanctions that weren't enforced. 1919 01:57:38.239 --> 01:57:41.600 There were supposed to be sanctions on Russia after they 1920 01:57:41.680 --> 01:57:45.600 invaded Ukraine, those weren't That didn't have any teeth to them. 1921 01:57:46.880 --> 01:57:51.319 So they're making all this money and rather than well, 1922 01:57:52.119 --> 01:57:54.920 let's back up at the beginning of the Biden administration, 1923 01:57:55.000 --> 01:57:57.800 they started making money. And it was in twenty twenty 1924 01:57:57.880 --> 01:58:01.840 two when Russia invaded Ukraine because they had boatloads of money. 1925 01:58:01.960 --> 01:58:03.840 They were making a lot of money from their energy, 1926 01:58:04.720 --> 01:58:06.479 and they said, gee, wiz, what can we do with 1927 01:58:06.560 --> 01:58:09.720 all this money? You know, rather than oh, let's do 1928 01:58:09.840 --> 01:58:12.159 something for our people and make our people's lives miserable 1929 01:58:12.479 --> 01:58:16.119 better because they're living miserable existence. Now, no, no, let's 1930 01:58:16.119 --> 01:58:19.760 go invade a country. Let's go invade our neighbor. Iran 1931 01:58:20.119 --> 01:58:23.560 got all kinds of money, one hundred billion dollars plus 1932 01:58:23.680 --> 01:58:27.279 all those palettes of cash from the Obama administration, and 1933 01:58:27.359 --> 01:58:33.000 then we got left of the restrictions on the cash 1934 01:58:33.079 --> 01:58:37.239 that was being held because of Iran's terrorist threats around 1935 01:58:37.279 --> 01:58:40.560 the around the world. So they were flushed with cash, 1936 01:58:41.119 --> 01:58:43.560 and rather than doing something for their people, they said, 1937 01:58:43.840 --> 01:58:46.199 what can we do with this money? Oh, I see, 1938 01:58:46.600 --> 01:58:49.560 Let's go fund Hesbalah to the north of Israel and 1939 01:58:49.680 --> 01:58:52.199 let them fire rockets into Israel. We can have the 1940 01:58:52.279 --> 01:58:55.880 Houtis in Yemen and we can have them fire rockets 1941 01:58:55.920 --> 01:58:58.920 into Israel, and we can have them clog up the 1942 01:58:59.000 --> 01:59:03.520 shipping channels there to be held hostage. And especially after 1943 01:59:03.680 --> 01:59:08.039 the Palestinians attacked Israel on October seventh, they ramped up 1944 01:59:08.359 --> 01:59:10.920 the attacks on tankers going. 1945 01:59:10.760 --> 01:59:11.119 Through the. 1946 01:59:15.000 --> 01:59:20.239 Yea the Red Sea there, and so any ship that 1947 01:59:20.359 --> 01:59:23.760 had any allegiance or any affiliation with Israel were starting 1948 01:59:23.800 --> 01:59:27.600 to be attacked, and so they were trying to create 1949 01:59:27.720 --> 01:59:30.600 a problem there. And then of course let's fund the 1950 01:59:30.840 --> 01:59:34.760 Hamas terrorists in the southern part of Israel and have 1951 01:59:34.880 --> 01:59:37.760 them fire rockets in. So they got all this money, 1952 01:59:37.960 --> 01:59:41.319 and instead of doing something for the people around terrorism 1953 01:59:41.359 --> 01:59:45.079 around the country, Russia invade another country and yet this 1954 01:59:45.439 --> 01:59:53.600 pipeline continued to go through Ukraine. Now, how crazy is that, 1955 01:59:54.439 --> 01:59:58.359 this pipeline that's pumping this natural gas to the European Union, 1956 01:59:58.560 --> 02:00:02.000 who should have been making sure that Russia never invaded 1957 02:00:02.079 --> 02:00:04.640 Ukraine in the first place and should have put sanctions 1958 02:00:04.680 --> 02:00:08.399 on them, is sending money to Russia which funds their 1959 02:00:08.600 --> 02:00:14.479 military effort. And this pipeline acrosses Ukraine. So Ukraine didn't 1960 02:00:14.560 --> 02:00:18.720 do didn't sabotage the pipeline. They do control the one 1961 02:00:18.920 --> 02:00:21.640 end of it and control the flow, so they do 1962 02:00:21.840 --> 02:00:27.199 get a fee every during the year for the gas 1963 02:00:27.279 --> 02:00:31.279 that flows through there. But how ridiculous is this. You're 1964 02:00:31.359 --> 02:00:35.800 at war with somebody and rather than taking out their 1965 02:00:35.960 --> 02:00:40.239 major asset, which funds the war machine that's killing your people, 1966 02:00:40.640 --> 02:00:43.079 you let it flow and then you get a cut 1967 02:00:43.119 --> 02:00:46.920 of the action. How serious is this over there? And 1968 02:00:47.000 --> 02:00:51.479 then with this, with this ongoing problem over there, they're 1969 02:00:51.560 --> 02:00:54.800 having the cold winter and they're scrambling around now and 1970 02:00:56.119 --> 02:01:00.000 heating oil prices there the folks in the European Union 1971 02:01:00.399 --> 02:01:04.600 are paying fifty percent more than what they were last 1972 02:01:04.720 --> 02:01:07.359 year just to heat their homes, and of course that's 1973 02:01:07.439 --> 02:01:09.960 going to be affecting their businesses, going to be affecting 1974 02:01:10.000 --> 02:01:12.720 their economy, and we're going to be looking at all 1975 02:01:13.079 --> 02:01:17.920 kinds of problems with the European Union, and they are 1976 02:01:18.000 --> 02:01:20.560 not bouncing back as well as they were. In fact, 1977 02:01:20.640 --> 02:01:25.039 there was a story last week that showed that our 1978 02:01:25.119 --> 02:01:27.960 economy appeared to have grown, and of course this is 1979 02:01:28.000 --> 02:01:32.560 preliminary numbers two point eight percent, whereas the European Union 1980 02:01:33.000 --> 02:01:37.039 was around one point two percent. So as bad as 1981 02:01:37.119 --> 02:01:40.399 things are here, they're not as bad as the European Union. 1982 02:01:40.840 --> 02:01:45.199 And the German economy apparently looks like their GDP for 1983 02:01:45.279 --> 02:01:47.800 this year is going to be flat. If that's not 1984 02:01:47.920 --> 02:01:50.319 going to create problems over there in the European Union. 1985 02:01:50.600 --> 02:01:53.199 For the governments that are in place and with the 1986 02:01:53.359 --> 02:01:56.560 people over there struggling and suffering, this is going to 1987 02:01:56.600 --> 02:01:58.560 be a problem over there, and this is going to 1988 02:01:58.600 --> 02:02:02.079 be part of the headlines going into twenty twenty five. 1989 02:02:02.359 --> 02:02:05.000 It'll be interesting to see what happens with these governments. 1990 02:02:05.399 --> 02:02:09.439 Recalls or or you know, no confidence votes and getting 1991 02:02:09.520 --> 02:02:12.119 new governments in there. It's gonna all be interesting. Phone 1992 02:02:12.199 --> 02:02:14.840 numbers five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty, five, hundred one, 1993 02:02:14.880 --> 02:02:17.199 eight hundred eighty two three talk one eight hundred eight 1994 02:02:17.239 --> 02:02:19.600 two three eight two five, five pound, five point fifty 1995 02:02:19.920 --> 02:02:24.560 AT and T wireless phone. Ken, You're up next, fifty 1996 02:02:24.600 --> 02:02:27.039 five Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five KR. 1997 02:02:27.159 --> 02:02:34.920 See the talk station. So crossing a palm with eight 1998 02:02:35.000 --> 02:02:37.239 eighteen in the morning, Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, 1999 02:02:37.319 --> 02:02:41.279 fifty five KR, See the talk station. You know, each 2000 02:02:41.399 --> 02:02:44.960 time of day has its unique characteristics, and right now 2001 02:02:45.199 --> 02:02:48.199 is one of the what I find is very unique characteristics. 2002 02:02:48.840 --> 02:02:50.640 I want to I was looking out the window here 2003 02:02:51.520 --> 02:02:55.399 and the sun when it starts coming up. There is 2004 02:02:55.479 --> 02:02:58.520 a period of time when it just starts coming up 2005 02:02:58.600 --> 02:03:02.039 over the horizon, and it's just any building that's like 2006 02:03:02.239 --> 02:03:06.439 two or three stories high, they start getting the sun first, 2007 02:03:07.000 --> 02:03:10.000 and the ground is still dark, but the upper parts 2008 02:03:10.039 --> 02:03:12.039 of the building are all lit up. It's always a 2009 02:03:12.079 --> 02:03:15.479 cool sight. So I just thought i'd throw that out there. 2010 02:03:15.640 --> 02:03:17.319 Sometimes when I'm out on the deck in the morning 2011 02:03:17.359 --> 02:03:19.319 and I look out and look over to see the 2012 02:03:19.399 --> 02:03:22.119 city of Cincinnati and the sun comes up and it's 2013 02:03:22.359 --> 02:03:25.199 just the buildings in Cincinnati that are lit up. The 2014 02:03:25.359 --> 02:03:27.760 area is all kind of in a dusk, but it's 2015 02:03:27.800 --> 02:03:30.960 kind of like this what almost looks like the Shining 2016 02:03:31.079 --> 02:03:33.880 City on the hill. So anyway, let's get to the phones. 2017 02:03:33.960 --> 02:03:36.319 Let's talk to Ken. Ken fifty five, Casee, how are 2018 02:03:36.359 --> 02:03:36.880 you this morning? 2019 02:03:36.960 --> 02:03:40.840 Thanks for calling, doing great and happy New year to 2020 02:03:40.960 --> 02:03:44.319 you and everyone may and you're right on point with 2021 02:03:44.479 --> 02:03:47.079 all those issues. But the main reason why I'm calling 2022 02:03:47.159 --> 02:03:50.640 today is because Congress they will be selecting a leader, 2023 02:03:50.760 --> 02:03:55.880 and Thomas Massey local over in Kentucky, he seems to 2024 02:03:56.000 --> 02:03:59.840 be the lone one that kind of maybe could try 2025 02:03:59.840 --> 02:04:02.960 to upset the Apple card. And I'm just pushing out 2026 02:04:03.039 --> 02:04:05.560 an appeal that I don't think he has another plan. 2027 02:04:06.159 --> 02:04:09.399 They've been through that before with the previous speaker and 2028 02:04:09.479 --> 02:04:13.640 he saw how that just just drug out for days 2029 02:04:13.800 --> 02:04:16.840 on end. And there's no reason for that. Because we 2030 02:04:16.960 --> 02:04:19.960 have a new president, we have a new Congress. So 2031 02:04:20.319 --> 02:04:24.800 hopefully some people in the Thomas Massey's district can maybe 2032 02:04:25.359 --> 02:04:29.000 talk to him and maybe get him to at least. 2033 02:04:29.000 --> 02:04:30.920 You know, not this time. 2034 02:04:31.079 --> 02:04:33.840 This is just yeah, there is a time and a 2035 02:04:33.920 --> 02:04:37.199 place for everything. Ken, that's for sure. Now Thomas Massey 2036 02:04:37.359 --> 02:04:40.720 is my congressman, and so I've been in touch with 2037 02:04:40.840 --> 02:04:43.600 his people and trying to get a gauge from them. 2038 02:04:43.720 --> 02:04:46.840 But you know, I got to say this, and Thomas 2039 02:04:46.960 --> 02:04:50.439 Massey I've considered a friend. In fact, I think I 2040 02:04:50.600 --> 02:04:52.760 was the first one that had him on the program 2041 02:04:52.880 --> 02:04:55.279 and interviewed him, and now Brian has him on a 2042 02:04:55.319 --> 02:04:58.319 regular basis. And yes, he is a voice for freedom, 2043 02:04:58.399 --> 02:05:01.359 he has a voice for constitute utional issues. He is 2044 02:05:01.399 --> 02:05:04.680 a voice for libertarian thought and a very good congressman 2045 02:05:04.800 --> 02:05:10.159 for the fourth District of Kentucky. But where I started 2046 02:05:10.239 --> 02:05:14.319 having problems with him, and I've said this to his people, 2047 02:05:14.359 --> 02:05:17.039 so this is no surprise to him, was back on 2048 02:05:17.159 --> 02:05:22.960 January sixth of twenty twenty one, when he had said 2049 02:05:23.199 --> 02:05:26.760 that he was neutral, He wasn't. He didn't know which 2050 02:05:26.800 --> 02:05:30.319 way he was going to go on the confirmation or 2051 02:05:30.479 --> 02:05:36.119 the certification of the vote. And the day before that 2052 02:05:36.319 --> 02:05:40.119 Sunday before he comes out with this letter saying that 2053 02:05:40.279 --> 02:05:43.279 he is going to not he's going to agree with 2054 02:05:43.359 --> 02:05:47.000 the certification going forward. Yet we had had a conversation 2055 02:05:47.239 --> 02:05:52.479 on that previous Wednesday, talking about that Pennsylvania, their election 2056 02:05:52.800 --> 02:05:56.279 was illegal because it was controlled by the judges and 2057 02:05:56.520 --> 02:06:00.560 not by the citizens the legislature the way it was 2058 02:06:00.640 --> 02:06:04.000 supposed to be. So at least stall things to get 2059 02:06:04.119 --> 02:06:07.239 that sorted out, or at least recognize that for the 2060 02:06:07.319 --> 02:06:10.520 American people. But instead what they did is they just 2061 02:06:10.680 --> 02:06:15.560 ramrotted this thing through. And I refuse to believe that 2062 02:06:15.720 --> 02:06:18.520 our founding fathers would not have set up a situation 2063 02:06:19.079 --> 02:06:21.720 where the checks and balances were I mean, if you're 2064 02:06:21.760 --> 02:06:25.119 going to have an automatic certification, why meet in the 2065 02:06:25.159 --> 02:06:28.359 first place, why not just you know, say okay, here's 2066 02:06:28.399 --> 02:06:31.279 what it is, go boom. But instead there is a 2067 02:06:31.359 --> 02:06:34.079 process where you're supposed to negotiate these things or talk 2068 02:06:34.119 --> 02:06:37.319 about them, or raise objections. Now in this instance, going 2069 02:06:37.399 --> 02:06:39.920 to this just to say that I don't agree with 2070 02:06:40.000 --> 02:06:42.720 Mike Johnson, that he doesn't support him, that he's going 2071 02:06:42.800 --> 02:06:46.279 to vote against him, and all that. That's fine. You 2072 02:06:46.319 --> 02:06:49.760 can dislike the person, but look at what's at stake here. 2073 02:06:50.359 --> 02:06:53.760 You want to get the ball rolling. You want to start, 2074 02:06:54.640 --> 02:06:58.520 you know, start running right from the all the legislation 2075 02:06:58.640 --> 02:07:01.800 that needs to be passed, and to gumb those works 2076 02:07:01.880 --> 02:07:04.720 up with a fight over who's going to be speaker. 2077 02:07:05.399 --> 02:07:08.239 I think is misplaced, right, And from. 2078 02:07:08.119 --> 02:07:11.600 My understanding at one of the problems with it is 2079 02:07:11.760 --> 02:07:16.479 the Continuing Resolutions the CRS, which I fully understand. And 2080 02:07:16.760 --> 02:07:19.640 so he said that since they Mike Johnson went along 2081 02:07:19.720 --> 02:07:22.520 with the left past CR, he was using that as 2082 02:07:22.560 --> 02:07:26.880 an excuse. And my position has been no past you know, 2083 02:07:27.800 --> 02:07:31.319 get Mike Johnson back in and then pass an annual 2084 02:07:31.479 --> 02:07:35.640 budget as they are supposed to do, and Nuke Gingrich 2085 02:07:35.800 --> 02:07:39.319 was the last person I think really and Bill Clinton, 2086 02:07:39.319 --> 02:07:42.359 I think that's the last time an annual budget has 2087 02:07:42.439 --> 02:07:45.560 been passed other than that when John Bayner was there, 2088 02:07:45.840 --> 02:07:50.239 they started doing these continuing resolutions and they never pass 2089 02:07:50.319 --> 02:07:53.560 a budget. So he says that that is the big problem. 2090 02:07:53.680 --> 02:07:57.840 So that problem can be solved if he just gets 2091 02:07:57.880 --> 02:07:59.439 on board, has a. 2092 02:07:59.479 --> 02:08:03.920 Speaker, and they go full full forward with the plan, 2093 02:08:04.119 --> 02:08:07.119 because this is just something that is just going to 2094 02:08:07.239 --> 02:08:10.920 fall right into Haking Jeffrey's hands and into the Democrats, 2095 02:08:10.960 --> 02:08:12.279 and if he wants. 2096 02:08:12.159 --> 02:08:15.159 To do with that, then that's the course that he's on. 2097 02:08:15.319 --> 02:08:18.720 So hopefully common sense will prevail and they'll get their 2098 02:08:19.079 --> 02:08:23.279 differences ironed out and he will vote accordingly and Mike 2099 02:08:23.359 --> 02:08:24.279 Johns will be a speaker. 2100 02:08:24.359 --> 02:08:24.800 I agree. 2101 02:08:24.880 --> 02:08:27.359 And you know, when you're dealing with I mean, what 2102 02:08:27.920 --> 02:08:31.760 when you had because of health issues, because of absences 2103 02:08:32.159 --> 02:08:37.039 that Johnson was dealing with a three seat majority and 2104 02:08:37.199 --> 02:08:41.359 trying to please everybody in the Chamber and weave through 2105 02:08:41.560 --> 02:08:44.439 whatever legislation can be weaved through to make sure people 2106 02:08:44.560 --> 02:08:47.399 on board. Let's face it, there are not a lot 2107 02:08:47.560 --> 02:08:51.600 of I mean not every Republican in the House is 2108 02:08:51.680 --> 02:08:55.720 a conservative, and so you're dealing with some rhinos there. 2109 02:08:56.319 --> 02:08:58.760 And if they're on board and you can get something 2110 02:08:58.880 --> 02:09:01.399 passed and something done, you got to work with the 2111 02:09:01.479 --> 02:09:04.520 people on your team and to just gum up the 2112 02:09:04.600 --> 02:09:07.640 works with so much at stake, I I don't understand it, 2113 02:09:07.800 --> 02:09:12.399 and I I'm you know, that's my opinion. Let's just 2114 02:09:12.439 --> 02:09:14.199 put it that way, you know, and as we know 2115 02:09:14.319 --> 02:09:16.079 I have an opinion, I'm not afraid to use it. 2116 02:09:16.399 --> 02:09:19.880 So I think the gamesmanship is one thing. Standing up 2117 02:09:19.960 --> 02:09:23.000 for your principles is one thing. But you got to 2118 02:09:23.119 --> 02:09:28.680 kind of sometimes say, you know, is is perfect? Is perfect? 2119 02:09:28.880 --> 02:09:32.560 The enemy of bad of good? And where do you 2120 02:09:32.640 --> 02:09:34.439 go with this? So Ken, thanks very much for the 2121 02:09:34.800 --> 02:09:37.239 for the phone call.

How are you this morning? 2157 02:11:25.840 --> 02:11:28.800 I'm fin ring, Kevin. I tertally disagree with you and 2158 02:11:29.159 --> 02:11:33.159 Ken Okay Thomas Massey. I wish we had four hundred 2159 02:11:33.159 --> 02:11:34.800 and thirty five of him in there, but we don't. 2160 02:11:35.119 --> 02:11:37.840 That would be nice. I agree with that. I agree 2161 02:11:37.880 --> 02:11:40.520 with that. Then we wouldn't have a problem finding a 2162 02:11:40.640 --> 02:11:44.119 Speaker of the House. But who wants the job? If 2163 02:11:44.199 --> 02:11:46.640 every time you turn around, the people that are on 2164 02:11:46.760 --> 02:11:48.359 your side are the ones going to be taking the 2165 02:11:48.439 --> 02:11:49.359 most shots at you. 2166 02:11:50.439 --> 02:11:55.680 Well, Johnson has proven he's not trustworthy. We wouldn't have 2167 02:11:55.840 --> 02:11:58.319 this problem if he'd done his damn job as Speaker 2168 02:11:58.359 --> 02:12:01.399 of the House. They're supposed to have twelve old budget resolutions. 2169 02:12:01.640 --> 02:12:03.960 Oh no, no, no, Speaker can't be bothered getting through 2170 02:12:04.000 --> 02:12:06.560 and dumpling on the Senate. Then it's the Senate Democrats 2171 02:12:06.880 --> 02:12:11.039 that we shut down the government and Republicans wouldn't have 2172 02:12:11.119 --> 02:12:14.760 their tail between their legs like they normally do. And oh, 2173 02:12:14.800 --> 02:12:17.960 we got to agree with the Democrats, I mean negotiates 2174 02:12:18.000 --> 02:12:20.520 some there for most of these Republicans and including the 2175 02:12:20.560 --> 02:12:24.279 scum by just my current reptor, thank god has gone 2176 02:12:24.760 --> 02:12:27.760 in a day or two Winstrip. He's got a new spine, 2177 02:12:27.800 --> 02:12:29.520 but he only does what the party says. But we 2178 02:12:29.600 --> 02:12:32.000 got Massy up there and actually stands for something. And 2179 02:12:32.039 --> 02:12:35.520 if Johnson had done his job, we wouldn't have had 2180 02:12:35.560 --> 02:12:38.119 the problem. And then he showed his true colors by 2181 02:12:38.199 --> 02:12:41.439 that resolution that which was what fifteen thousand pages or 2182 02:12:41.479 --> 02:12:42.000 whatever it was. 2183 02:12:42.159 --> 02:12:43.520 Yeah, it's ridiculous. 2184 02:12:44.439 --> 02:12:46.960 So yes, we can't trust him. He's not done his job. 2185 02:12:47.279 --> 02:12:49.479 We need somebody that we can be trusted, and they 2186 02:12:49.640 --> 02:12:55.439 are under McCarthy. They set it up so it had 2187 02:12:55.479 --> 02:12:59.159 to be done right. Well McCarthy didn't. Wasn't as good 2188 02:12:59.199 --> 02:12:59.840 as what he was. 2189 02:13:00.039 --> 02:13:07.399 Okay, okay, So McCarthy failed the test. McCarthy failed the test. 2190 02:13:08.039 --> 02:13:11.479 Johnson has failed the test. And we saw how many 2191 02:13:11.600 --> 02:13:16.680 times it took to get a speaker selected the last time, 2192 02:13:16.840 --> 02:13:20.960 and it was what five different votes over several days. 2193 02:13:21.319 --> 02:13:24.039 Do we have that kind of time now where we 2194 02:13:24.159 --> 02:13:27.000 want to drag this out for five days because then 2195 02:13:27.039 --> 02:13:30.680 it passes over the time when the certification is supposed 2196 02:13:30.680 --> 02:13:33.640 to be done, of the election, and then backs up 2197 02:13:33.680 --> 02:13:37.199 the legislative process. You can get rid of the speaker 2198 02:13:37.439 --> 02:13:40.720 any time you want, by a voice vote or a 2199 02:13:40.880 --> 02:13:45.479 vote of no confidence, but continue to keep the ball rolling, 2200 02:13:45.640 --> 02:13:48.800 in my opinion, and then deal with this later on. 2201 02:13:49.279 --> 02:13:51.920 You haven't dealt with it to this point. Deal with 2202 02:13:52.039 --> 02:13:54.439 it later. Don't get in the way of the certification, 2203 02:13:54.920 --> 02:13:59.159 don't get in the way of the legislation that should 2204 02:13:59.279 --> 02:14:03.920 take place, and if that legislation is hung up, then 2205 02:14:04.279 --> 02:14:07.840 deal with it. So I have to agree to disagree 2206 02:14:07.880 --> 02:14:14.439 with you, Jim Oh Okay, let's go to Bobby. Bobby 2207 02:14:14.479 --> 02:14:16.439 fifty five Carosee. How are you this morning? 2208 02:14:17.680 --> 02:14:20.680 Brother, I'm doing great and yourself. I appreciate you carrying 2209 02:14:20.720 --> 02:14:22.760 that torture freedom high and bright every day. 2210 02:14:22.880 --> 02:14:23.880 Brother, And I agree with. 2211 02:14:23.960 --> 02:14:27.079 You on the speaker thing right now. Yeah, one thing 2212 02:14:27.159 --> 02:14:30.920 I wanted to talk about is they don't mention things 2213 02:14:30.960 --> 02:14:33.840 that they don't want to talk about. And if you 2214 02:14:33.920 --> 02:14:36.920 look back and it's something that people don't know. But 2215 02:14:37.560 --> 02:14:42.560 on September the twenty seventh, Biden did a reissued of 2216 02:14:42.680 --> 02:14:46.399 the Department of Defense Director of fifty two forty. And 2217 02:14:46.560 --> 02:14:51.800 what that does is it eliminates the Capitol Police and 2218 02:14:51.960 --> 02:14:55.319 your Washington or excuse me, and your DC police to 2219 02:14:55.560 --> 02:15:01.079 control the Capitol building. Now it's under the Secret Service. 2220 02:15:01.600 --> 02:15:05.119 He went ahead and did a Dignitary Protection division and 2221 02:15:05.239 --> 02:15:07.760 that was by my ORCA. They don't want to talk 2222 02:15:07.800 --> 02:15:11.399 about this, but they're prepared of what's going on coming. 2223 02:15:11.520 --> 02:15:17.000 Mundy. This will be interesting. I hope that what I 2224 02:15:17.319 --> 02:15:20.680 assume or what that would almost seem to you or 2225 02:15:20.760 --> 02:15:24.800 seem to a lot of people to be it would be. Yeah, 2226 02:15:25.000 --> 02:15:27.399 it's going to be interesting to see how that plays out. 2227 02:15:28.279 --> 02:15:29.880 A lot of times yeah, go ahead. 2228 02:15:30.960 --> 02:15:33.279 No, this was the first time it was ever implemented, 2229 02:15:33.279 --> 02:15:36.560 and it's referred to as a national Special Security event. 2230 02:15:36.920 --> 02:15:39.079 Yeah, which which what it is. 2231 02:15:39.199 --> 02:15:43.640 It circumventced the posse como toass and having military work 2232 02:15:43.760 --> 02:15:45.439 within the borders of our government. 2233 02:15:45.520 --> 02:15:48.000 And the interesting thing with that is is that that 2234 02:15:48.319 --> 02:15:51.920 is not the mission of the Secret Service. The mission 2235 02:15:52.000 --> 02:15:54.960 of the Secret Service is to well, originally was to 2236 02:15:55.399 --> 02:16:00.880 counterbalance the counterfeit and protect the President, which apparently they've 2237 02:16:00.920 --> 02:16:03.119 not done a very good job of. And so if 2238 02:16:03.119 --> 02:16:05.479 they're not doing a very good job of that, why 2239 02:16:05.600 --> 02:16:09.199 put more responsibility on them if they've proven that they 2240 02:16:09.279 --> 02:16:12.399 can't handle what they are supposed to handle right now, So. 2241 02:16:13.279 --> 02:16:17.279 That's true, exactly. So one thing, I got one thing 2242 02:16:17.359 --> 02:16:19.439 about Congress and Massy. I'll let you go. I know 2243 02:16:19.520 --> 02:16:22.479 you're up one time congresson Massy. You have to look 2244 02:16:22.560 --> 02:16:25.479 at it like you have an automobile that's not running 2245 02:16:25.520 --> 02:16:28.039 real good. That doesn't mean you're going to go ahead 2246 02:16:28.039 --> 02:16:29.359 and sell it without something. 2247 02:16:29.159 --> 02:16:34.079 To drive, right, exactly exactly. And as well as I mentioned, 2248 02:16:34.120 --> 02:16:36.959 you know, we've got the certification coming up in three days, 2249 02:16:38.159 --> 02:16:39.920 then you've got the legislator and then you've got the 2250 02:16:39.959 --> 02:16:43.600 inauguration and the legislative slate coming up. There's plenty of 2251 02:16:43.680 --> 02:16:45.159 time to get rid of the you know, you can 2252 02:16:45.200 --> 02:16:48.959 always do the recall, you can always do the vote 2253 02:16:50.000 --> 02:16:52.440 vote of no confidence and get rid of the speakers. 2254 02:16:52.520 --> 02:16:54.760 So this is not the time to do it. Maybe 2255 02:16:55.159 --> 02:16:57.719 the first, you know, maybe hold out for the first vote, 2256 02:16:58.120 --> 02:17:02.120 send a shot across the back. But anyway, we'll see 2257 02:17:02.120 --> 02:17:04.879 what happens. We'll see how long it goes, because it's 2258 02:17:05.719 --> 02:17:08.920 don't be covering it on into the night. Phone numbers five, 2259 02:17:08.959 --> 02:17:11.159 one three, Thank you very much, Bobby, certainly appreciate the 2260 02:17:11.200 --> 02:17:14.360 phone call. Five one, three, seven, four nine fifty eight 2261 02:17:14.440 --> 02:17:16.559 hundred A two three talk one eight hundred eighty two 2262 02:17:16.639 --> 02:17:19.520 three eight two five five pound, five point fifty AT 2263 02:17:19.600 --> 02:17:22.200 and T wireless phone. Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, 2264 02:17:22.479 --> 02:17:33.559 fifty five krs the talk station. Eight thirty nine in 2265 02:17:33.600 --> 02:17:35.959 the morning. Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five 2266 02:17:36.079 --> 02:17:41.399 KRC the talk station. It is going to be interesting 2267 02:17:41.520 --> 02:17:45.520 to see how the speaker vote goes in the House today, 2268 02:17:46.159 --> 02:17:49.920 to see what happens, how the machinations of all that 2269 02:17:50.159 --> 02:17:54.120 go about. Uh, who is put up for speaker who 2270 02:17:54.319 --> 02:17:57.760 is challenged, and uh, see how that all works out. 2271 02:17:58.040 --> 02:18:02.799 But at this point, unless I've missed a couple of things, 2272 02:18:03.040 --> 02:18:07.440 I don't see right now anybody that says that they're 2273 02:18:07.520 --> 02:18:12.079 going to be challenging Mike Johnson. Now I may be wrong, 2274 02:18:13.159 --> 02:18:16.280 but there's been none of this, you know, where people 2275 02:18:16.319 --> 02:18:19.319 are out there lobbying everybody and doing a little bit 2276 02:18:19.399 --> 02:18:22.959 behind the scenes campaign. So I don't know. 2277 02:18:25.600 --> 02:18:25.639 It. 2278 02:18:26.840 --> 02:18:31.200 You know, if somebody pointed out, you don't trash your 2279 02:18:31.319 --> 02:18:35.959 car unless you have something to replace it. You don't 2280 02:18:36.159 --> 02:18:38.840 quit a job unless you've got something to replace it. 2281 02:18:39.600 --> 02:18:44.360 And I've not seen any hint or any suggestion as 2282 02:18:44.440 --> 02:18:49.719 to who might be the replacement and who is being 2283 02:18:50.079 --> 02:18:54.639 pushed to take over that position. Now, as the one 2284 02:18:54.719 --> 02:18:59.079 caller pointed out, I personally would love to see four 2285 02:18:59.200 --> 02:19:03.399 hundred and thirty Thomas Massey's in the Congress. That would 2286 02:19:03.440 --> 02:19:07.879 be great. Now to a certain extent, that might not 2287 02:19:08.239 --> 02:19:12.040 be one hundred percent great, but there would be an 2288 02:19:12.079 --> 02:19:17.600 awful lot of constitutional bills that were passed, a couple 2289 02:19:17.799 --> 02:19:21.520 of a lot of cost cutting that is done and 2290 02:19:21.799 --> 02:19:26.559 holding people's feet to the fire. Yes, but you don't 2291 02:19:26.639 --> 02:19:29.120 have that. You don't have four hundred and thirty five. 2292 02:19:29.680 --> 02:19:33.159 You have a slim majority of what one because of 2293 02:19:33.639 --> 02:19:38.799 either people being selected for cabinet positions or because of 2294 02:19:38.959 --> 02:19:42.159 illness or people not being able to attend. And so 2295 02:19:43.600 --> 02:19:47.639 with that thin majority, you've got to do some compromises, 2296 02:19:47.799 --> 02:19:50.879 and you've got to do some things that are awfully distasteful. 2297 02:19:51.559 --> 02:19:54.920 And when you're you know, when they talk about the 2298 02:19:55.319 --> 02:19:57.120 phrase of you know, one of the things you don't 2299 02:19:57.120 --> 02:20:01.159 want to watch is legislation being formatted, because it's almost 2300 02:20:01.280 --> 02:20:04.319 like watching sausage being made. A lot of that has 2301 02:20:04.479 --> 02:20:06.840 to do, and there's a lot of truth to that. 2302 02:20:08.040 --> 02:20:11.120 The problem is is that when you only have a 2303 02:20:11.200 --> 02:20:16.120 one seat majority, you've got the other opposition that are 2304 02:20:16.200 --> 02:20:19.799 fighting you tooth and nail on everything and their content 2305 02:20:20.280 --> 02:20:23.559 to sit back and watch you fail. And if that's 2306 02:20:23.639 --> 02:20:28.360 what you want right off the bat, then we're not 2307 02:20:28.520 --> 02:20:32.079 going to get much accomplished in this legislative session completely. 2308 02:20:32.360 --> 02:20:36.280 So it'll be interesting to see how this turns out 2309 02:20:36.319 --> 02:20:40.520 today and what all goes on now. One of the 2310 02:20:40.639 --> 02:20:44.399 things that and one of the things that we're seeing 2311 02:20:45.360 --> 02:20:50.040 is that the Biden administration appears as though, I mean 2312 02:20:50.479 --> 02:20:53.399 not that they haven't all during the four years that 2313 02:20:53.639 --> 02:20:56.559 the administration has been Now, when I say Biden, I'm 2314 02:20:56.559 --> 02:21:00.200 talking about whoever is running the country, because we know 2315 02:21:00.559 --> 02:21:03.440 that it's not Biden. We know it is probably a 2316 02:21:03.600 --> 02:21:08.879 group of advisors, or maybe one top advisor, a puppet 2317 02:21:09.079 --> 02:21:14.840 of somebody else that is pulling the strings. But we're 2318 02:21:14.920 --> 02:21:20.440 seeing it seems a sabotage of the incoming administration. I 2319 02:21:20.559 --> 02:21:26.680 remember back when Clinton left office and George W. Bush 2320 02:21:26.840 --> 02:21:32.159 came into office and the al Gore election with the 2321 02:21:33.239 --> 02:21:38.879 chads and the litigation that was done to try to 2322 02:21:39.639 --> 02:21:42.079 garner votes or to find more votes in order to 2323 02:21:42.159 --> 02:21:44.799 get al Gore elected. Well, I mean that was okay. 2324 02:21:44.879 --> 02:21:47.600 I mean apparently as far as the Democrats were concerned. 2325 02:21:47.840 --> 02:21:51.399 That was okay back then, because it was the Democrats 2326 02:21:51.600 --> 02:21:56.399 that were searching for more votes and making phone calls 2327 02:21:56.440 --> 02:21:59.079 and saying, find me votes here, find me votes there. 2328 02:22:00.120 --> 02:22:04.399 But when a Republican does that in Georgia in twenty twenty, 2329 02:22:04.799 --> 02:22:09.520 suddenly that's wrong and impeachable. So we had the contentious 2330 02:22:09.799 --> 02:22:14.200 twenty twenty election, or a two thousand election when George W. 2331 02:22:14.360 --> 02:22:19.440 Bush was elected, and so you wind up with in 2332 02:22:19.559 --> 02:22:24.520 two thousand and one, the Congress that came in to office, 2333 02:22:25.319 --> 02:22:28.360 and you had some contentious things going on at that point, 2334 02:22:29.239 --> 02:22:32.479 and so that delayed some of the legislation that was 2335 02:22:32.559 --> 02:22:35.920 going on, which I think, in my opinion, kind of 2336 02:22:36.000 --> 02:22:38.079 led a little bit to nine to eleven because not 2337 02:22:38.239 --> 02:22:42.360 all the security people were in place and confirmed to 2338 02:22:42.879 --> 02:22:47.239 get the ball rolling. Plus there was some sabotage going on. 2339 02:22:47.639 --> 02:22:52.079 You remember that in the offices that every one of 2340 02:22:52.120 --> 02:22:57.239 the keyboards, the W was pried off so that when 2341 02:22:57.239 --> 02:23:00.520 they go in to use their keyboards, they couldn't use 2342 02:23:00.520 --> 02:23:05.440 the computers because the W had been removed. Now I 2343 02:23:05.520 --> 02:23:07.360 don't know if they could get around it or if 2344 02:23:07.360 --> 02:23:10.840 they had to order new keyboards, but there was definite sabotage, 2345 02:23:11.120 --> 02:23:14.719 certain equipment that was broken, certain equipment that was destroyed, 2346 02:23:15.000 --> 02:23:19.000 simply because of the incoming administration. Biden is doing the 2347 02:23:19.079 --> 02:23:21.799 same thing with making sure that he tries to sell 2348 02:23:21.879 --> 02:23:26.159 off part of the border wall. He is doing certain 2349 02:23:26.200 --> 02:23:30.000 things in terms of executive orders as far as commuting 2350 02:23:30.200 --> 02:23:34.719 the death sentences or of these death row inmates because 2351 02:23:34.959 --> 02:23:39.319 the incoming administration, I want to prevent them from murdering people. 2352 02:23:39.799 --> 02:23:44.079 Oh really great. And now we see Biden is expected 2353 02:23:44.159 --> 02:23:48.200 to permanently ban some offshore drilling. We'll have that coming up. 2354 02:23:48.360 --> 02:23:50.840 I'm Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five K 2355 02:23:51.120 --> 02:23:52.520 see the talk station. 2356 02:23:52.799 --> 02:23:54.399 Hello, I'm Victor Gray and. 2357 02:23:56.040 --> 02:23:59.719 Nine first warning weather forecast, winter weather advisory until ten. 2358 02:24:02.000 --> 02:24:04.600 Snow pretty much has passed through as far as the 2359 02:24:04.959 --> 02:24:08.799 morning rush hour temperatures today a high of thirty, low 2360 02:24:08.879 --> 02:24:12.920 of eighteen, partly cloudy skies throughout the day, still partly's 2361 02:24:13.000 --> 02:24:15.879 cloudy skies going into Saturday a high of twenty nine 2362 02:24:15.959 --> 02:24:18.760 and a low of twenty Right now thirty four degrees. 2363 02:24:18.840 --> 02:24:22.159 Fifty five KR see the talk stations.

He inside not delay left north pound seventy one. 2373 02:24:47.840 --> 02:24:51.879 The earlier accident of data is clear. Chuck Ingramont fifty 2374 02:24:51.959 --> 02:24:53.920 five KR s the talk station. 2375 02:25:03.079 --> 02:25:05.239 In the morning, Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas fifty 2376 02:25:05.280 --> 02:25:08.879 five KRC the talk station, talking about in the previous 2377 02:25:08.920 --> 02:25:14.680 segment Biden trying to sabotage the incoming presidency selling off 2378 02:25:14.760 --> 02:25:18.280 parts of the border wall. We've already had the problem 2379 02:25:18.399 --> 02:25:22.200 that he has sabotaged this country with the invasion at 2380 02:25:22.280 --> 02:25:24.879 the southern border and the northern border, as we come 2381 02:25:24.959 --> 02:25:27.680 to find out with a flow of fentanyl coming into 2382 02:25:27.719 --> 02:25:30.600 this country. We've seen some of the sabotage that has 2383 02:25:30.639 --> 02:25:33.200 been done as far as some of the oil industry. 2384 02:25:33.479 --> 02:25:37.239 Keystone XL pipeline comes to mind. Now as he's going 2385 02:25:37.319 --> 02:25:42.319 out the door, President President Yeah, Joe Biden is preparing 2386 02:25:42.360 --> 02:25:45.879 to issue a decree permanently banning new offshore oil and 2387 02:25:46.000 --> 02:25:49.719 gas development in some US coastal waters, locking in difficult 2388 02:25:49.879 --> 02:25:55.840 to revoke protections for sensitive marine areas during the final 2389 02:25:55.920 --> 02:25:59.959 weeks of the White House. Now, this man is incompetent, 2390 02:26:00.399 --> 02:26:04.319 this man is not all there. So any executive order 2391 02:26:04.440 --> 02:26:07.120 I think ought to be ignored. Biden has set within 2392 02:26:07.239 --> 02:26:12.120 days to issue these exemptions. Now they're saying that, okay, 2393 02:26:12.399 --> 02:26:16.040 Donald Trump can go ahead and revoke those, but unfortunately, 2394 02:26:16.239 --> 02:26:20.040 unlike other executive actions, they can easily be undone. Biden's 2395 02:26:20.040 --> 02:26:23.479 plan decoration is rooted in a seventy two year old 2396 02:26:23.559 --> 02:26:27.360 law that gives the White House wide discretion to permanently 2397 02:26:27.520 --> 02:26:31.600 protect US waters from oil and gas leasing without explicitly 2398 02:26:31.760 --> 02:26:35.639 empowering presidents to revote those designations. Oh, maybe the law 2399 02:26:35.719 --> 02:26:37.399 needs to be changed and we can do away with 2400 02:26:37.520 --> 02:26:39.520 that that way. Oh, I was going to take a 2401 02:26:39.559 --> 02:26:42.840 phone call, but I guess she dropped off. So continuing 2402 02:26:42.879 --> 02:26:46.479 on with this, Let's see. They did say, and they 2403 02:26:46.559 --> 02:26:51.479 did point out that during his first administration there were 2404 02:26:51.600 --> 02:26:53.719 a couple of things that he tried to revoke. As 2405 02:26:53.799 --> 02:26:56.520 a matter of fact, Trump is expected to order a 2406 02:26:56.639 --> 02:26:59.840 reversal protection, but it's not clear he'll be successful. During 2407 02:27:00.000 --> 02:27:02.559 his first term in office, Trump sought to revoke former 2408 02:27:02.639 --> 02:27:06.360 President Barack Obama's order to protect more than one hundred 2409 02:27:06.399 --> 02:27:12.000 and twenty five million acres in the Arctic and Atlantic oceans, 2410 02:27:12.200 --> 02:27:15.959 which was rejected by a federal district court in twenty nineteen. 2411 02:27:16.399 --> 02:27:18.840 Seems like me, it seems like time to bring that 2412 02:27:19.040 --> 02:27:22.440 back up and get it to the Supreme Court. Supporters 2413 02:27:22.479 --> 02:27:26.000 for the nineteen fifty three Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, 2414 02:27:26.280 --> 02:27:29.760 which governs out offshore oil and gas development. Note that 2415 02:27:29.840 --> 02:27:35.200 Congress gave presidents wide discretion. Again, Congress abdicating their authority 2416 02:27:35.479 --> 02:27:38.719 to the executive branch when they should have maintained this 2417 02:27:39.000 --> 02:27:42.639 on their own. And possibly this should have been legislation 2418 02:27:43.040 --> 02:27:45.959 that had to come about in order to set aside 2419 02:27:46.040 --> 02:27:49.239 these lands instead of giving the broad brush or the 2420 02:27:49.319 --> 02:27:53.479 broad scope to the president or the executive branch. However, 2421 02:27:54.159 --> 02:27:57.440 if this is a nineteen fifty three Outer Continental Shelf 2422 02:27:57.639 --> 02:28:02.680 Lands Act, repeal it. Hopefully we can do that. Let's 2423 02:28:02.680 --> 02:28:04.440 see if we can squeeze in a call before we 2424 02:28:04.479 --> 02:28:06.600 get out of here. Let's talk to Rick, Rick fifty 2425 02:28:06.639 --> 02:28:08.239 five cars, how are you this morning? 2426 02:28:09.000 --> 02:28:09.520 Good morning. 2427 02:28:10.399 --> 02:28:12.200 One thing I just wanted to bring up, and I 2428 02:28:12.280 --> 02:28:15.680 hope people in Congress pressured Donald Trump to order the 2429 02:28:15.879 --> 02:28:20.719 FBI to find about thirty five thousand Chinese soldiers that 2430 02:28:20.840 --> 02:28:24.879 walked across the border. I remember they their stories came 2431 02:28:24.920 --> 02:28:28.159 out when it happened that these large groups of men 2432 02:28:29.159 --> 02:28:32.520 military age men from China just showed up at the 2433 02:28:32.879 --> 02:28:36.479 thing asking for asylum. They traced them and they were 2434 02:28:36.559 --> 02:28:39.959 had charter flights direct from China to Mexico City. They 2435 02:28:40.079 --> 02:28:42.200 chartered buses to the border, and all of them looked 2436 02:28:42.200 --> 02:28:44.520 the same, and none of them spoke any English except 2437 02:28:44.600 --> 02:28:47.360 to say the same thing. It's to me, it's like 2438 02:28:47.479 --> 02:28:50.760 there's a Chinese invasion force here running around on an 2439 02:28:50.760 --> 02:28:54.159 assassination squad. Then the FBI should go find those people 2440 02:28:54.239 --> 02:28:56.239 and root them out and send them back first. 2441 02:28:56.600 --> 02:28:59.680 That would be nice, That would be nice to track 2442 02:28:59.760 --> 02:29:03.159 them down and try to And Tom Homan has said 2443 02:29:03.280 --> 02:29:05.719 that he is going to start with the people the 2444 02:29:05.799 --> 02:29:08.600 criminal element, and I would say that that's a criminal element. 2445 02:29:09.000 --> 02:29:13.159 You don't leave China by yourself. You don't leave China 2446 02:29:13.280 --> 02:29:16.719 on your own volition. You have to be allowed to leave. 2447 02:29:17.200 --> 02:29:20.280 You have to be permitted to leave. And so if 2448 02:29:20.360 --> 02:29:24.760 these people are permitted to being to leave, maybe without 2449 02:29:24.799 --> 02:29:30.159 a doubt they were sent here and especially being military age. 2450 02:29:30.239 --> 02:29:32.840 So yes, you bring up a great point, and this 2451 02:29:33.120 --> 02:29:36.520 is part of the sabotage of this country that in 2452 02:29:36.639 --> 02:29:40.280 the coming years, when we start seeing acts of terrorism 2453 02:29:40.399 --> 02:29:42.799 that are going to happen on this on the on 2454 02:29:42.920 --> 02:29:45.440 the in the continent, on the in the United States, 2455 02:29:45.879 --> 02:29:48.840 we're going only have one administration to blame for that, 2456 02:29:49.559 --> 02:29:52.719 and this Biden administration. It is going to go down 2457 02:29:52.799 --> 02:29:57.280 in history as the absolute worst and even treason us 2458 02:29:57.360 --> 02:29:58.120 in my opinion. 2459 02:29:59.559 --> 02:30:04.280 I don't understand the guy about the hearing about the drones. 2460 02:30:04.360 --> 02:30:06.520 The guy said China, said him. The head of the 2461 02:30:07.079 --> 02:30:10.479 Intelligence Committee of the House. He had a press conference 2462 02:30:10.520 --> 02:30:12.319 and he said that was they were from China, and 2463 02:30:12.360 --> 02:30:13.600 then everyone shut up about it. 2464 02:30:13.879 --> 02:30:15.000 I heard that on the radio. 2465 02:30:15.200 --> 02:30:18.680 Oh yeah, absolutely, it seems that this kind of scary 2466 02:30:18.799 --> 02:30:19.319 thing in it. 2467 02:30:19.760 --> 02:30:24.680 Oh yeah, well you got recon whatever they're doing in 2468 02:30:24.719 --> 02:30:25.799 the air, well, Ricky. 2469 02:30:25.840 --> 02:30:28.479 We're warned a couple of years ago at Christmas time 2470 02:30:28.879 --> 02:30:31.399 that some of these smart TVs to be aware of 2471 02:30:31.600 --> 02:30:35.799 where they're coming from, because they can actually be used 2472 02:30:36.120 --> 02:30:39.680 to spy on us. Through the smart TVs. There was 2473 02:30:39.760 --> 02:30:42.079 that big flat going on during that period of time. 2474 02:30:42.280 --> 02:30:45.920 I mean, it's no surprise that when you are driving 2475 02:30:46.000 --> 02:30:48.200 in your car and you talk to your wife and 2476 02:30:48.319 --> 02:30:49.959 you say, honey, what do you want to do for 2477 02:30:50.120 --> 02:30:52.360 dinner tonight?
