Speaker 1: Five minutes after five o'clock. Happy Friday, first Friday of January,
Speaker 1: and the tenth day of Christmas. Yes, it's still the
Speaker 1: Christmas season. I know a lot of people still take
Speaker 1: their Christmas trees down like the day after Christmas. Everybody
Speaker 1: seems to think that the twelve days of Christmas lead
Speaker 1: up to Christmas Day, but in actuality, the way it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be in the Christian calendar and Catholic calendar
Speaker 1: is that the first day of Christmas is Christmas Day
Speaker 1: and then runs until the twelfth Night, which is on
Speaker 1: the fifth, and then the Epiphany on the sixth. So anyway,
Speaker 1: tenth day of Christmas. Now news at the top of
Speaker 1: the hour. I was going to start off with some
Speaker 1: other stuff, but I've got to address this. They say
Speaker 1: that they're taking down social media posts that try to
Speaker 1: link the two attacks, the Las Vegas and New Orleans together,
Speaker 1: and it's how do they know. During the the news
Speaker 1: they were saying that, yes, they were in the same
Speaker 1: army base, but there's no indication that they knew each other.
Speaker 1: There's no indication that even though they were in Afghanistan together,
Speaker 1: that they knew each other. Yet the attack, both attacks
Speaker 1: happened on the same day. They rented the vehicles through
Speaker 1: the same app, a little known app. It's not like
Speaker 1: through Hertz or Avis or any of the other ones
Speaker 1: as turo thing. And to not say that there might
Speaker 1: be a connection. What harm is it for people to
Speaker 1: speculate on social media because God knows, we're not going
Speaker 1: to get the information and we're not going to get
Speaker 1: the truth from the FBI. We're not going to get
Speaker 1: the information that we want. They told us. We watched
Speaker 1: the press conference in New Orleans and we had Senator
Speaker 1: Kennedy say that, well, there's certain things that I know
Speaker 1: that I can't talk about, and I understand that while
Speaker 1: the investigation is ongoing, I shouldn't be talking about these things.
Speaker 1: But once the investigation is over, I will be able
Speaker 1: to or they will be able to tell you everything.
Speaker 1: And if it's not everything, there will be what slow
Speaker 1: hell or hell fresh hell to pay? Are we supposed
Speaker 1: to believe that, I mean, just because a senator and
Speaker 1: we've seen that, you know, when they have these hearings,
Speaker 1: when we have these testimony that the FBI director or
Speaker 1: the Homeland Security director, there will be all pompous and
Speaker 1: you know, defend the administration and lie and say that
Speaker 1: you know what is being said up on the day,
Speaker 1: as is false, that you don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: We've seen Anthony Fauci push back on Rand Paul because
Speaker 1: they don't call it gain of function. He calls it
Speaker 1: something else, But it winds up being the same. And
Speaker 1: so we know doctor Fauci has lied, We know that
Speaker 1: my Orcus has lied, we know that Christopher Ray has lied.
Speaker 1: And there's been no prosecution of any of these people
Speaker 1: in terms of commit contempt of Congress lying before Congress.
Speaker 1: Yet if you say something wrong to the FBI, they'll
Speaker 1: rest you and anybody that was everywhere within one hundred
Speaker 1: yards of the Capitol. They've got their pictures and they've
Speaker 1: tracked them down. They've hauled thousands of people off to jail.
Speaker 1: And yet you have an attack, two attacks on the
Speaker 1: same day, and we're not supposed to speculate that they're
Speaker 1: somehow connected. Do they know everything? Do they You know,
Speaker 1: they've dug into their profiles, they've dug into who they are,
Speaker 1: where they've lived. They've raided the one guy's a trailer
Speaker 1: and looked through his stuff. But how do we know
Speaker 1: that what they're doing is accurate. Do we have all
Speaker 1: the information from that Las Vegas shooter years ago where
Speaker 1: hundreds of you know, they're shooting from the tower during
Speaker 1: what was at New Year's Eve and at the music
Speaker 1: festival and shooting up a bunch of people. Do we
Speaker 1: know what, why, when, where? How why that happened, how
Speaker 1: that was able to be pulled off? Who this guy
Speaker 1: actually was and how he slipped through the cracks. Was
Speaker 1: this something that was a gun bust or a gun
Speaker 1: by gone wrong? Who knows? And when you're not getting
Speaker 1: the information from the people, when you're not getting the details, Hell,
Speaker 1: we still don't even have when was the last press
Speaker 1: conference on the attempted Butler assassination? Is anybody anybody in
Speaker 1: the spoon fed regurgitators in the mainstream meeting? And you know,
Speaker 1: I called Fox News to task on this as well.
Speaker 1: Where are they asking questions? Where are the investigative reporters there?
Speaker 1: It's fro I mean, I love Fox News because you know,
Speaker 1: basically it's the only conservative news at night. You're certainly
Speaker 1: not going to tune into CNN. You're not going to
Speaker 1: tune into MSNBC or any of the other alphabet crap
Speaker 1: that's out there. But if you watch Fox News beginning
Speaker 1: it once they have the Five, and then they have
Speaker 1: the the Nightly Report, and then once they get into
Speaker 1: Laura Ingram, and then they get into Jesse Waters, and
Speaker 1: then they get into Hannity and then get into Gottfeld,
Speaker 1: you have seen the same clip, the same topics for
Speaker 1: at least four times. You've seen the same stories. Now
Speaker 1: Jesse Waters handles things a little bit differently, but there's
Speaker 1: still a lot of the same content. And I've had
Speaker 1: the TV on at night, and there's certain ones that
Speaker 1: I watch and then certain ones that I don't watch,
Speaker 1: or you know, once I start repeating and my wife
Speaker 1: will say sometimes how can you By the time eleven
Speaker 1: o'clock rolls around, she'll say, how can you listen to this?
Speaker 1: Over and over and over again. It's almost like you're
Speaker 1: waiting for that one additional kernel of information that you
Speaker 1: didn't have before. And the same clips, the same video,
Speaker 1: all right on down the line, and yet none of
Speaker 1: the investigative reporters, I mean, they'll do the investigation on
Speaker 1: the southern border, they'll do the investigation on Trende Oragua,
Speaker 1: they'll do the Aurora they'll talk about some of these
Speaker 1: other things, but it's almost like they go after the
Speaker 1: low hanging fruit. Nobody is digging into and asking the
Speaker 1: question every day, trying to ambush the FBI director or
Speaker 1: any of these people and try to get a statement
Speaker 1: on what happened with you. We had a candidate that
Speaker 1: was almost had his head blown off, and the nonsense
Speaker 1: that we heard from the Secret Service, the FBI and
Speaker 1: everybody involved in this was so stupid, and the way
Speaker 1: the cover up has been instead of, you know, they
Speaker 1: washed the roof down within what eight twelve hours, they
Speaker 1: kept you know, the site cleared, or was doing their investigation,
Speaker 1: but what do we know? What do we know how
Speaker 1: this guy was radicalized, how he was able to do this?
Speaker 1: And then we have Ryan Ruth that goes to within
Speaker 1: a couple months, is what three hundred yards away from
Speaker 1: being able to take a pot shot at Trump on
Speaker 1: a golf course, hiding in a place where they always
Speaker 1: know that the paparazzi hangs out and takes pictures, and
Speaker 1: nobody secured that area, and it just so happened that
Speaker 1: a Secret Service agent was walking the course and happened
Speaker 1: to see the barrel of the gun hanging out and
Speaker 1: then approaches the guy and what was the report? He
Speaker 1: was within five six feet of the guy, fired five
Speaker 1: times and missed. Wow, doesn't that give you a lot
Speaker 1: of confidence? And we still don't have any answers. We
Speaker 1: don't have any answers as far as the Afghanistan pull out,
Speaker 1: We don't have any answers. As far as anything going
Speaker 1: on in this administration, we don't have any. We've been
Speaker 1: told that there's no connection between Hunter Biden and his father,
Speaker 1: that his father knew nothing, and Joe Biden says, I
Speaker 1: knew nothing about his business dealings. And yet just in
Speaker 1: the last week, all of a sudden, we start seeing
Speaker 1: pictures that the National Archives finally decides that they're going
Speaker 1: to drop on the American people and and shows them
Speaker 1: with Hunter Biden with his business associates, and Joe with
Speaker 1: the people that he's trying to do business with in
Speaker 1: China and all these different other countries. This, this slow
Speaker 1: drip of breaking news or or information, is just abhorrent.
Speaker 1: And when you don't in the vacuum of accurate information,
Speaker 1: do we have all the details about the spy balloons?
Speaker 1: We do we know all about that? Do we now
Speaker 1: find out that they knew right from the start when
Speaker 1: that blue was launched. And I would like to believe
Speaker 1: that these guys are smart enough that they're tracking this
Speaker 1: balloon who is trying to certain weather balloon mind you,
Speaker 1: that is just happens to be not just off course
Speaker 1: and just gliding, no, but zigzagging around. It just happens
Speaker 1: to go over some of our more sensitive and secret
Speaker 1: installations around the country and then goes out to see
Speaker 1: it and get shot down. And then they recovered and say, well,
Speaker 1: we looked at the data on board, and there's no
Speaker 1: information that would be sufficient. We don't think that the
Speaker 1: Chinese gathered any secret information. Now, it would be one
Speaker 1: thing if they told us that, yeah, we wanted to
Speaker 1: see the capabilities of this, we wanted to track it,
Speaker 1: we wanted to jam the frequency. We know that it
Speaker 1: didn't get any information because we were blocking it. And
Speaker 1: yet we were getting all this information by reversing it
Speaker 1: and downloading and got into their system and reverse engineering
Speaker 1: and learned their seat Chritz. We we find out that
Speaker 1: the Treasury Department was hacked recently, and just unbelievable. I'm
Speaker 1: going to pick this up on coming up phone numbers

Speaker 1: Five twenty in the morning, Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas,
Speaker 1: fifty five kr see the talk station. Continuing on a
Speaker 1: little bit on my rant from the previous segment. You know,
Speaker 1: I had something planned. I was going to ease into
Speaker 1: the day, but when I heard the news of Papierre
Speaker 1: that they're actually going through social media accounts and taking
Speaker 1: them down, What the hell does that sound like? Sounds
Speaker 1: like the pandemic to me? Doesn't it sounds like the
Speaker 1: hunter Biden laptop to me? Doesn't it that all of
Speaker 1: a sudden that they tell you what their version or
Speaker 1: that their lies are actually the truth? And if you
Speaker 1: have any questions with that, if you raise any concerns,
Speaker 1: they're going to shoot you down and take you down.
Speaker 1: This has got to end. If this administration does nothing
Speaker 1: when they come into office, that every one of these
Speaker 1: the Google executives, the Facebook, the Instagram, all of these
Speaker 1: people that have been squashing freedom of speech need to
Speaker 1: be hauled before Congress run through the wringer and their
Speaker 1: companies either need to start losing their licenses or they
Speaker 1: need to be run out of business. The fact that
Speaker 1: you open a company, and now I understand, you sign
Speaker 1: up for Facebook and basically you are their product. They
Speaker 1: want to gather as much information about you as they
Speaker 1: want to and so that they can sell that information.
Speaker 1: And for that we get the luxury, if you will,
Speaker 1: of being able to post pictures of our family picture,
Speaker 1: all the happy memories and the stuff that we're doing.
Speaker 1: But god, I mean back in twenty sixteen, to me,
Speaker 1: that was probably the highlight or the heyday of Facebook,
Speaker 1: because people would come onto my Facebook page. They would
Speaker 1: say some of the most outrageous stuff and we'd get
Speaker 1: into arguments, which was probably a little bit of a
Speaker 1: waste of time until you know, I'd make a comment
Speaker 1: and they would, you know, with their insults and they're
Speaker 1: cursing me and telling me everything, you know what you know,
Speaker 1: who my mother was and all this sort of thing.
Speaker 1: So but it was a free flow of information. And
Speaker 1: when people would get on my page, they'd say, why
Speaker 1: do you even let this person on your page? Why
Speaker 1: do you let them comment? Why don't you unfriend them
Speaker 1: or block them? And I said, because we need to
Speaker 1: know what these people are thinking. We need to know
Speaker 1: who they are and then just shoot their arguments down.
Speaker 1: But to run from them and to just speak to
Speaker 1: the choir, to preach to the choir, that's no fun.
Speaker 1: That's why I wish people would call in hear some
Speaker 1: of my front of meies, some of the people that
Speaker 1: don't like what I have to say, people who disagree
Speaker 1: with it, I say, and try to get and get
Speaker 1: on the air. They'll we moved to the top of
Speaker 1: the list. I love to have an open debate with
Speaker 1: people about certain things. And yet when it comes to
Speaker 1: and thank god that Elon Musk bought Twitter and then
Speaker 1: cleaned house there and allowed the free flow of information back,
Speaker 1: free speech, but on this suppressing. You know, when you
Speaker 1: go to your Facebook page, I mean, you are you
Speaker 1: have given up something and what have we gotten in return?
Speaker 1: We basically have gotten nothing in return. We haven't gotten
Speaker 1: the ability to go on. I mean what you're allowed
Speaker 1: a certain number of friends. You're allowed to post certain
Speaker 1: things that they let you post, and then if they
Speaker 1: don't like what you say, well then they lower the
Speaker 1: algorithm so it only goes out to a few people.
Speaker 1: I've got very good friends that I've known for over
Speaker 1: twelve almost fourteen years now that I used to see
Speaker 1: their stuff all the time. They used to see my
Speaker 1: stuff all the time. I used to get numerous responses
Speaker 1: on stuff. Now, granted, you throw up a picture of
Speaker 1: puppies or any of that sort of stuff, which I
Speaker 1: don't do. But something that's lighthearted, you'll get all kinds
Speaker 1: of hits. But you put up anything that's slightly controversial
Speaker 1: or bring up a topic that they don't want to hear,
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, no comments whatsoever. And my
Speaker 1: wife is a frequent user of Instagram, and she will
Speaker 1: sometimes put something out like, you know, my granddaughter or
Speaker 1: granddaughter did this, or we did this, and put an
Speaker 1: exclamation part a point, as you'll get a notification that says,
Speaker 1: be a kind when you're talking, and make sure that
Speaker 1: you're not offending people, and make sure that you're not
Speaker 1: challenging people. Be nice. What the hell is that? And
Speaker 1: it's just now they're taking it a step further. I mean,
Speaker 1: if Facebook isn't cleaned up, and if Facebook isn't, I
Speaker 1: mean when they start editing, they have now taken themselves
Speaker 1: to the point of being a newspaper or a news outlet.
Speaker 1: Because you can't go on the Inquirer's website and say
Speaker 1: anything you want. They will censor it, and they will
Speaker 1: do because that's their domain. Facebook was set up with
Speaker 1: certain tax exemptions that they could have a free flow
Speaker 1: of information. Now, obviously you can't post terror hearistic threats,
Speaker 1: and you can't be a danger. But talking about certain things,
Speaker 1: even if it's conspiracy theories or whatever, that should that
Speaker 1: shouldn't be censored. And the fact that they've voided their
Speaker 1: contract and their status with the federal government, they should
Speaker 1: be fined for that or run out of business even
Speaker 1: And of course if that happens, then oh it'll be
Speaker 1: the conservatives going after Facebook or whatever. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: if you violate the law, if you set up something
Speaker 1: and you say this is how we're going to do it,
Speaker 1: this is what we're going to do, and then you
Speaker 1: don't do it, you face the consequences, plain and simple.

Speaker 1: Police said they were conducted and repeating what they were
Speaker 1: saying at the beginning of the story. Blue Ass Police
Speaker 1: Chief Scott Noel. Noel said the undercover operation wasn't specifically
Speaker 1: aimed at apprehending Shoonover. They didn't realize who he was
Speaker 1: until he was arrested. Once his name popped up, we
Speaker 1: all knew it because I'm I mean, we're a neighboring
Speaker 1: police agency. I've personally known Keith for almost thirty years.
Speaker 1: Video from the Blue Ash police interrogation at Shoonover, obtained
Speaker 1: by WCPO, showed Shoonover's reaction to the situation. I hate
Speaker 1: that I put you on this spot, Shenover told officers.
Speaker 1: It was a terrible situation. And like I said, I've
Speaker 1: been a cop for thirty six years. Sad, sad, sad.
Speaker 1: Let's see tri State. Amazon driver accused of stealing over
Speaker 1: forty packages and selling them. Amazon driver is accused of
Speaker 1: stealing over forty packages from Springdale Fulfillment Center and selling
Speaker 1: the items on Facebook Marketplace. Didn't we have a situation
Speaker 1: about a week ago where there was an Amazon driver
Speaker 1: that I guess got frustrated with the amount of packages
Speaker 1: that he had to deliver, dumped about forty of them
Speaker 1: in the woods and didn't deliver them. And I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know, because I know those things are tracked
Speaker 1: and they know that they're on a particular truck. I
Speaker 1: don't know how he was able to convince them that
Speaker 1: what they somehow got stolen off his truck. But anyway,
Speaker 1: and Amazon drivers, and let you see, Springdale police said
Speaker 1: in an affidavit. And an Amazon Lost Prevention specialist contacted
Speaker 1: then report an employee theft. She told police that she
Speaker 1: had received information about items near delivered never delivered on
Speaker 1: a route associated with driver like l Jodd Khan. While investigating,
Speaker 1: she found a video of Con driving to the fulfillment
Speaker 1: center on Strategic Partway, grabbing the cart with the packages,
Speaker 1: and leaving Amazon employees. Tracking program showed Con went directly
Speaker 1: to his home in Florence. You know, the nice thing
Speaker 1: about these things is that you the criminals sometimes are
Speaker 1: not very bright. The woman who reported to the police
Speaker 1: said she found Con selling items on Facebook marketplace the
Speaker 1: match the items stolen package. Cod is accused of stealing
Speaker 1: forty four packages a total of three two hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty five dollars. He was charged on December thirty first
Speaker 1: theft without consent? I is that really a term? Isn't
Speaker 1: theft by a very definition? Isn't that without consent? Why
Speaker 1: do you? I'm confused. I guess. I guess I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have to have some legal mind call in here and
Speaker 1: straighten it out. Threft? What is it? Threft by by
Speaker 1: non consent? Non consensual theft? I don't get it anyway.

Speaker 1: and more we learn about these two attacks on New
Speaker 1: Year's Day, the one in New Orleans and then the
Speaker 1: one at Trump Tower. And oh, by the way, the
Speaker 1: one at Trump Tower. Oh, there's no connection to the
Speaker 1: fact that it was in front of Trump Tower and
Speaker 1: that it happened to be a tesla that was blown up.
Speaker 1: All just mere coincidence. And we're being told that it
Speaker 1: was just a mere coincidence that both perpetrators rented vehicles
Speaker 1: from the same app, a very little known app that
Speaker 1: a lot of people in the news meter as I
Speaker 1: was hearing them discuss it. They even they didn't even
Speaker 1: know it existed, that they both were at the same
Speaker 1: army base. But you know, according to the experts or
Speaker 1: according to the investigators, they never met. They didn't know
Speaker 1: each other. They started to Afghanistan together and they didn't
Speaker 1: know each other. They never met over there, and yet
Speaker 1: on the same day they launch an attack on American
Speaker 1: soil because they were radicalized. Now, the fact that we
Speaker 1: are in this information vacuum, the fact that we are
Speaker 1: hearing little more bits and pieces about these people, that
Speaker 1: they're digging into their social media accounts more so than
Speaker 1: what they've done as far as the two attempted assassinations
Speaker 1: on Donald Trump and some of the other attacks on conservatives,
Speaker 1: we don't know half the information about them that we
Speaker 1: know about these people. But by god, they've got the
Speaker 1: license plate, they've got the driver's license. They knew who
Speaker 1: these people are. And I often wonder if these people
Speaker 1: aren't well, aren't known to them already either as maybe
Speaker 1: comp financial informants that have gone off the rails, or
Speaker 1: that they've been on their radar screen and they oh,
Speaker 1: they just happened to slip through the cracks. You know,
Speaker 1: when you look at this you know, when you go
Speaker 1: back to the Obama administration with Fast and Furious, they
Speaker 1: thought that they were going to pull one over on
Speaker 1: the bad guys down in Mexico. They were going to
Speaker 1: send these guns down there that were traceable and that
Speaker 1: they would be able to be found, that they could
Speaker 1: trace where the guns were going, and then bust the
Speaker 1: people that were trafficking in the guns. Well, that all
Speaker 1: went to hell, and I'm handbasket because I guess they
Speaker 1: disabled the tracking devices or they went around and then
Speaker 1: we hear okay, now fast forward to this New Orleans attack.
Speaker 1: You have a situation where they do the press conference
Speaker 1: and the person up there says, now, this is they're
Speaker 1: trying to tell us that, you know, New Orleans is
Speaker 1: used to having big crowds. I mean, after all, they
Speaker 1: have Marty Graw and then they have the Sugar Bowl
Speaker 1: down there, and then they have different football games and
Speaker 1: big events, so they're used to handling crowds. Well, apparently
Speaker 1: not so much because if you look at the video
Speaker 1: of this truck that pulled up and then turned right
Speaker 1: right and they you know, when they're blocking off the street,
Speaker 1: he turned right and then sped down the street. The
Speaker 1: cop that was there, and of course we learned that
Speaker 1: the bullards were down, those hydraulic things that pop up
Speaker 1: to prevent people from going in certain areas, that they
Speaker 1: were all being under construction because of the super Bowl
Speaker 1: in February, because New Orleans is hosting the super Bowl,
Speaker 1: and so they were making sure that those were working
Speaker 1: in time for the super Bowl. But not from Marti Graus, Okay,
Speaker 1: you know that's too much. And then you noticed that
Speaker 1: and this this hit me just unbelievable that you had
Speaker 1: this cop car that wasn't even blocking the entire street,
Speaker 1: wasn't positioned in a way that obviously this guy could
Speaker 1: drive around and then speed down the street. And then
Speaker 1: when you see the video, you see this cop get
Speaker 1: out and like looking around, like what the hell just happen?
Speaker 1: Completely surprised. Now, this is not the kind of security
Speaker 1: that you have when you think that there might be
Speaker 1: a terroristic threat. I mean, I live I mentioned this before.
Speaker 1: I live near Nku, and there are times when there
Speaker 1: is a concert there, or there's a graduation, or there's
Speaker 1: a major there's a basketball event and it's on. I
Speaker 1: have to pass by there in order to go to
Speaker 1: Kroger and get groceries and stuff, and it's annoying sometimes
Speaker 1: when they're directing traffic because they don't know what the
Speaker 1: hell they're doing. They allow way too many cars to
Speaker 1: go through. You sit there and there's you know, one,
Speaker 1: one thousand and one, one thousand and two, It might
Speaker 1: be about thirty seconds before the next car comes through.
Speaker 1: Make them wait, let us go, if you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. But when I drive up there, they will
Speaker 1: have like a cop car sort of blocking the street
Speaker 1: so that you can't go down this particular street that
Speaker 1: leads to their stadium there or the campus. Yet that
Speaker 1: is the same type of security that they had in
Speaker 1: New Orleans. Now, the threat assessment for somebody to cause
Speaker 1: some ill or some problem at an NKU graduation or
Speaker 1: an NKU the threat level at an NKU graduation or
Speaker 1: a basketball game or a concert is sure as hell
Speaker 1: way below. What is there for Marti Gras when you
Speaker 1: know there's a big crowd there and it's a ripe target.
Speaker 1: And instead of having the dump trucks pulled up like
Speaker 1: they do for the New York Marathon or that they
Speaker 1: have for the big event and making sure that there
Speaker 1: is no way in hell because you've got this huge
Speaker 1: dump truck there that's filled with sand, and that you
Speaker 1: can't push it out of the way, that it is
Speaker 1: almost on you taking up the entrance to the street,
Speaker 1: as well as even on the sidewalk, that there's no
Speaker 1: way a vehicle could get pass that. And yet they
Speaker 1: don't have the same security down there in New Orleans.
Speaker 1: And then the person admitting or saying during the press
Speaker 1: conference that well, we had all the necessary security options
Speaker 1: in place, and they just went around him. They defeated him.
Speaker 1: He defeated him. One guy, one guy was able to
Speaker 1: beat the entire New Orleans Police Department, whatever Louisiana State
Speaker 1: Police or Louisiana Bureau of Investigation was able to bypass
Speaker 1: all of that and create this carnage. Unbelievable. And no,
Speaker 1: I do not think that these two I'm not believing
Speaker 1: that these two aren't related somehow. Five one three, seven
Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred one, eight hundred eighty two
Speaker 1: three talk one eight hundred eight two three eight two
Speaker 1: five five pound, five point fifty AT and T wireless
Speaker 1: from Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas fifty five KR
Speaker 1: see the talk station on New Year and the new
Speaker 1: President promises may promises kept.
Speaker 4: We're going to keep on driving.
Speaker 5: Woke out down.
Speaker 2: I'm super excited begins here.
Speaker 6: I can't wait.
Speaker 2: Fifty five KRC the talk station texting enrolls you would
Speaker 2: reoccurring on a bit to text messages. Consent not required A.
Speaker 1: Part five fifty two in the morning, Kevin Gordon for
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas. Fifty five KR see the talk station that
Speaker 1: you know we've been talking. Like I said, at the
Speaker 1: beginning of this hour, I thought I was going to
Speaker 1: start off the show talking about some other things. And
Speaker 1: when I heard the newscast that they were actually pulling
Speaker 1: down any social media accounts or social media comments about
Speaker 1: the two of these two terrorist attacks being connected, I
Speaker 1: just really piqued my interests and is infuriating after all
Speaker 1: that has been done, after all that we have witnessed
Speaker 1: over the last well, shoot, let's go back to twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: last four or five years, and we can go back
Speaker 1: even further than that on some of these things. When
Speaker 1: you look at how many times we've been lied to,
Speaker 1: We were lied to during the pandemic, we were lied
Speaker 1: to about where I mean, they denied up until just
Speaker 1: what a year ago that it was not even a
Speaker 1: year ago that it actually was a lab leak, and
Speaker 1: they tried to tell us all this time that it
Speaker 1: was some wet market even though they learned and Ran
Speaker 1: Paul in one of the Senate hearings pointed out the
Speaker 1: fact that the gain of function that was going on
Speaker 1: which would have caused this virus was done at the
Speaker 1: Wuhan lab and that it, oh, that had nothing to
Speaker 1: do with it. It actually came out of the Wuhan
Speaker 1: wet market, Okay. And then all of the stuff that
Speaker 1: we were put through, as far as as far as COVID,
Speaker 1: as far as how contagious it was this six feet
Speaker 1: distancing all of that. Lie Lie, Lie, Lie Lie. And
Speaker 1: then we see the Hunter Biden laptop. The security officials
Speaker 1: CIA officials say that, you know, fifty one of them
Speaker 1: signed a letter. And you know what's interesting, if you
Speaker 1: go online and you do the PolitiFact or you do
Speaker 1: the fact checking on that and you put in there
Speaker 1: what the is, they'll say that it needs context, that
Speaker 1: it that no, they didn't say that it was a
Speaker 1: Russian disinformation. That is dumbfounding because everybody will say that
Speaker 1: the news reports was that it was Russian disinformation, but
Speaker 1: they never specifically said that you need to take the
Speaker 1: letter in context with everything in this said. So even
Speaker 1: the politifacts or the fact checkers are lying to us.
Speaker 1: And when you go through and look at all the
Speaker 1: stuff that's been told to us about Butler Pennsylvania, about
Speaker 1: Ryan Ruth, about the attempted assassination on the golf course,
Speaker 1: and everything we shoot. We've been told for the last
Speaker 1: four years that Joe Biden's the sharpest ball in the
Speaker 1: sharpest knife in the door, the brightest ball in the box,
Speaker 1: just on and on and on and on. There are
Speaker 1: so many people that should be never trust, should never
Speaker 1: be trusted again, and never ever ever be associated with
Speaker 1: any type of a governmental agency. Go pick some of
Speaker 1: this up. On the other side of the break, I'm
Speaker 1: Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas. Fifty five krs The
Speaker 1: Talk Station.
Speaker 7: My New Year's resolution to establish a better relationship with
Speaker 7: my father, to go back to.
Speaker 5: College, spend more relaxing time.
Speaker 2: Reading, quit drinking gin last time. Fifty five krs The
Speaker 2: Talk Station. I expect it's the stuff how students people
Speaker 2: are talking about.
Speaker 1: Annie we are Hamah just turns my stomach.
Speaker 2: Fifty five krs. The Talk station, and now Kevin Golden
Speaker 2: filling in for Brian Thomas on fifty five KOs the
Speaker 2: Talk station.
Speaker 8: I'm righty.
Speaker 1: Five minutes after six Happy Friday, first Friday of January,
Speaker 1: day of Christmas. We started the show off talking about
Speaker 1: the news, talking about that there's they're taking down these
Speaker 1: websites and take you know, people that are putting out
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories that somehow these two terrorist attacks in Las
Speaker 1: Vegas and New Orleans are somehow connected and they don't
Speaker 1: want that narrative out there, so they've taken down these websites.
Speaker 1: And I've talked at this at nauseum, and quite honestly,
Speaker 1: sometimes I even get tired of repeating the same things
Speaker 1: over and over and over again, the fact that we
Speaker 1: have been lied to so many times. And oh, by
Speaker 1: the way, if you've checked my Facebook page, like I said,
Speaker 1: every as I've said, every time I come on the air,
Speaker 1: I post on Facebook who my guests are and give
Speaker 1: you a quick rundown of that. At six point thirty
Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking to Dave Hatter, since I suppose
Speaker 1: since ANAI cybersecurity expert. And then at seven o'clock we're
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about to Nick Noele. He has authored
Speaker 1: a book and we're going to be talking about that,
Speaker 1: so stay tuned. But this all the lies that we've
Speaker 1: been told. I mean, we've got this right. I don't
Speaker 1: even know where to begin. You've got this Ryan Ruth
Speaker 1: who vagrant. He doesn't have two Nichols to rub together,
Speaker 1: but he's able to travel.
Speaker 2: All over the world.
Speaker 1: What he was caught with what eighteen cell phones? Eighteen
Speaker 1: cell phones that were his I'm sorry, seventeen of them
Speaker 1: were his? Do we know who the other one belonged to?
Speaker 9: Now?
Speaker 1: I understand that in an investigation, and I understand that
Speaker 1: when you are trying to ascertain or link people, you
Speaker 1: don't want to let the people that you're trying to
Speaker 1: track down know that you know who they are, and
Speaker 1: you want to gather as much information as you possibly can.
Speaker 1: That would be all well and good, and that would
Speaker 1: be a great narrative if, in fact, once in a
Speaker 1: while they were actually successful, that they were actually pulled
Speaker 1: one over on the bad guys found some sort of
Speaker 1: a deep seated conspiracy within the federal government or these
Speaker 1: people connected with this particular intelligence agency out of Iran
Speaker 1: or something along those lines. I mean, I understand. I mean,
Speaker 1: but you know, when you look at all, right, you've
Speaker 1: got Hamas, You've got Hesbelah. They have the leaders of
Speaker 1: Hamas and Hesbela. The top what four or five people
Speaker 1: now from Hamas have been taken out, the top two
Speaker 1: or three from Hesbola have been taken out. They even
Speaker 1: Israel was able to actually take out the head of
Speaker 1: Hamas in Tehran, Iran and an apart heartment where he
Speaker 1: was staying because he was there for the inauguration of
Speaker 1: the new Iranian president. They have results. We don't know
Speaker 1: how they did it. They don't indicate how all the
Speaker 1: inner workings and how long they had been planning this
Speaker 1: and all the individual details. But we know what the
Speaker 1: results were, that a bad guy was taken out.
Speaker 10: But what do we have here?
Speaker 1: We've got the dead shooter and Butler and we don't
Speaker 1: know much about him. We don't know anything. What are
Speaker 1: they still trying to crack into his secret Dakota ring
Speaker 1: phones and computers and such? Do we not have the
Speaker 1: necessary people? You know, instead of being out looking for
Speaker 1: the different terrorists groups that are there, instead of looking
Speaker 1: for the three hundred and twenty five, three hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty three hundred and twenty five thousand children that have
Speaker 1: come across the border on a company that we have
Speaker 1: no idea where they are. We don't know how many
Speaker 1: of have been sex trafficked. We don't know how many
Speaker 1: of them are in sweatshops, We don't know how many
Speaker 1: have been murdered. Up to this point, we don't know
Speaker 1: anything about them. And yet all we hear from people
Speaker 1: like alexandri A Cassio Cortes is that if these border
Speaker 1: security is done and these people are arrested, she is
Speaker 1: worried about child separation separate separating children from their parents.
Speaker 1: How horrific is that? Well, what about the three hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty five thousand that have been separated from their parents?
Speaker 1: Are you not concerned about them? You're not concerned about
Speaker 1: the three hundred the millions of children that have been
Speaker 1: separated from their parents in an abortion clinic. You're not
Speaker 1: about the number of people that have been separated from
Speaker 1: their loved ones because of immigrants and illegal immsigrants murdering
Speaker 1: their children. You're not concerned about that. The FBI, they
Speaker 1: have launched investigation into people. Now get this, Okay, people
Speaker 1: so radical, so devious, that they would attend a Latin Mass.
Speaker 1: I mean, my god, can you get any more threatening
Speaker 1: than somebody that wants to go to a traditional Catholic Mass?
Speaker 1: My god, I mean, why are these people even walking
Speaker 1: the earth with as devious as they could possibly be.
Speaker 1: You attend a school board meeting and you get a
Speaker 1: little loud because your child is being indoctrinated and you've
Speaker 1: learned this because of the pandemic where your kids were
Speaker 1: at home and you actually got to see the lessons
Speaker 1: Bland that they've been hiding from you all this time,
Speaker 1: and you speak up at a meeting and now will
Speaker 1: send you are on a terror watch list. Tulci Gabbard
Speaker 1: is on a terror watch list where she gets on
Speaker 1: a plane and there's got to be like four or
Speaker 1: five air marshals watching her all the way through the airport.
Speaker 1: And to this day, you've got people on the view.
Speaker 1: You've got certain Democrats that are calling her a Russian asset,
Speaker 1: a decorated veteran, still a member of the National Guard,
Speaker 1: and a former congresswoman, and she is a domestic terrorist.
Speaker 1: And you got compare that to Hunter Biden and the
Speaker 1: secrets that he probably transferred, the influence that he peddled
Speaker 1: with all these business contacts that he had, And you're
Speaker 1: going after parents, You're going after people like Tulci Gab.
Speaker 1: You're so busy investigating. Oh, yes, we need to weed
Speaker 1: out all of the faith loving, god loving and possible
Speaker 1: conservatives in the military service. We need to weed them
Speaker 1: out and get rid of them, because by God, we
Speaker 1: can't have somebody in the military that loves the country,
Speaker 1: can we. So we have these people being investigated, weed
Speaker 1: it out and so on. We have people being kicked
Speaker 1: out of the military because they won't take the jab.
Speaker 1: We have all of these investigations going on. Of course,
Speaker 1: they're not going to be able to find these terrorists
Speaker 1: we've got. Biden in twenty twenty three at some commencement
Speaker 1: addressed saying the biggest threat to America, well besides the
Speaker 1: existential threat of climate change, but on this particular day,
Speaker 1: the existential threat was white supremacists. I mean, what the
Speaker 1: fifteen or so that are that that are running around
Speaker 1: the hills play an army and stuff. Those are the
Speaker 1: guys we're supposed to fear. And yet we're letting these
Speaker 1: assassins run free. We're letting these people fall through the cracks,
Speaker 1: the neighbors that have told the FBI or the groups
Speaker 1: that you should be on the lookout for this particular
Speaker 1: person because he's kind of a whack job. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: we don't want to pay attention to them. We want
Speaker 1: to we want to investigate the domestic terrorists at these
Speaker 1: school board meetings. And a memo from the Justice Department,
Speaker 1: Merrick Garlands saying so, and then we have for the
Speaker 1: last year two years during the campaign that Donald Trump
Speaker 1: wants to is a Nazi, Donald Trump wants to be Hitler,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is Mussolini, Donald Trump is Stalin. Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is an existential threat to democracy, and Republicans are, by
Speaker 1: the way, and when you break down the word existential,
Speaker 1: I mean that just you know, that may not but
Speaker 1: what you're talking about at that point is the threat
Speaker 1: to the existence of So they are saying that somebody
Speaker 1: is a threat to the existence of democracy by them
Speaker 1: campaigning and buy what they are saying. So of course
Speaker 1: that's good to go ahead and prosecute them, take them
Speaker 1: up on trumped up charges, and try to ruin them financially,
Speaker 1: and then when that didn't work, you assass try to
Speaker 1: assassinate him and these are the people that we are
Speaker 1: supposed to believe that they're doing these proper investigations. And
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, once the election was over,
Speaker 1: Oh never mind. General Millie was on a panel. Oh,
Speaker 1: everything's gonna be fine, don't worry about it, even though
Speaker 1: before he was saying two weeks before say that this
Speaker 1: man poses the biggest threat that the country has ever seen.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. The biggest threat to this country
Speaker 1: is the scandal that we have had for the last
Speaker 1: four years, outlined by the Wall Street Journal, the cover
Speaker 1: up of Joe Biden's dementia, how he was incapable of
Speaker 1: staying awake in meetings, that they were spoon spoon feeding
Speaker 1: stuff to him, they were controlling him with his inner circle,
Speaker 1: and not allowing him to have cabinet meetings, not letting
Speaker 1: him have very long meetings whatsoever, and the meetings all
Speaker 1: had to be short, and that they were covering for him.
Speaker 1: So who's been in charge? Talk about an existential threat
Speaker 1: to democracy, talk about treasonous acts, talking about people in
Speaker 1: the cabinet that saw this and didn't speak up and
Speaker 1: didn't push for the twenty fifth Amendment to pull him
Speaker 1: out of office. Not that I wanted to see Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris as president, but still, this guy was not in charge.
Speaker 1: Who has been pulling the strings, who has been in charge,
Speaker 1: who has been making the decision, Because I guarantee you
Speaker 1: it's not somebody who was elected, and it's not somebody
Speaker 1: who was put in there by the people. It was
Speaker 1: somebody put in there by someone, whether or whoever it was.
Speaker 1: That to me is the biggest scandal, and that is
Speaker 1: something that needs to be investigated. And any in my opinion,
Speaker 1: any executive orders, any of the commutations, any of the
Speaker 1: commutations or the pardons, should be eliminated, those should be
Speaker 1: set back, those should be set aside. Because if you've
Speaker 1: got an aging person and you put and they're not
Speaker 1: capable of knowing what's going on, and you put a
Speaker 1: document in front of them and have them sign it,
Speaker 1: it's an all on void. So any of the stuff
Speaker 1: that this person dementia ridden has been pointed out should
Speaker 1: be a dollin void, unless he wants to go undergo
Speaker 1: a cognitive test and then they can determine based on
Speaker 1: that probably how far back this dementia started. Phone numbers five, one, three, seven, four, nine,
Speaker 1: fifty five hundred one eight hundred day two three talk
Speaker 1: one eight hundred eighty two three eight two five five pound,
Speaker 1: five point fifty AT and T wireless phone. Kevin Gordon
Speaker 1: in for Brian Thomas, fifty five K. See the talk
Speaker 1: station running buck six twenty one in the morning. Kevin
Speaker 1: Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five K. See the
Speaker 1: talk station phone numbers five one, three, seven, four nine
Speaker 1: fifty five hundred one, eight hundred eight two three talk
Speaker 1: one eight hundred eight two three eight two, five five pound,
Speaker 1: five point fifty AT and T wireless phone. Go to
Speaker 1: the phones week go let's talk to Bob. Bob fifty
Speaker 1: five K. See how are you this morning?
Speaker 6: I'm well, Thank you, mister Kevin. How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm doing just fine. I'm doing just fine.
Speaker 10: Good.
Speaker 6: I was listening to for most of the morning and
Speaker 6: I did not hear you raise a question in regard
Speaker 6: to the two terrorists. I know the party line is
Speaker 6: that they're not connected, they didn't know each other as such.
Speaker 6: But I'm thinking that the person who did the rental No,
Speaker 6: you say this was a basically unknown rental company, but
Speaker 6: I'll bet there's someone in the background there that knows
Speaker 6: or me the two individuals and help set this up.
Speaker 1: And well it was on this app touro. Now, I
Speaker 1: think anybody can log onto that now, you know, digging
Speaker 1: into as I would agree with you that you know
Speaker 1: somebody would have made them aware of that. But you know,
Speaker 1: if you and I have a conversation and I say
Speaker 1: to you, now, well I got this great app that
Speaker 1: if you want to rent a car, where's the evidence
Speaker 1: of that? So that's definitely a connection. And I'm I'm
Speaker 1: I hope that they're going to go in that direction.
Speaker 1: I mean the mere I mean, we know that the
Speaker 1: two served on the same base, were deployed in Afghanistan
Speaker 1: at the same time, so and they supposedly they didn't
Speaker 1: know each other, but somewhere along the line both of
Speaker 1: them were radicalized. And maybe the connection is to who
Speaker 1: radicalized them might be part of the connection.
Speaker 6: Right, And I suspect of a radicalized person in this
Speaker 6: rental company in the background. The other the other thing
Speaker 6: that I thought about is in New Orleans, they did
Speaker 6: not have the barrier up that normally is there. Again,
Speaker 6: the party line was old barriers were taken out, they
Speaker 6: ordered new ones, and they just didn't get there. On time,
Speaker 6: so they weren't there. But I don't think that's true.
Speaker 6: As you pointed out, there are other barriers for the
Speaker 6: stadium and so forth. I suspectors had another radicalized person
Speaker 6: in the background in New Orleans who just happened to
Speaker 6: arrange for the barrier not to be there, and then
Speaker 6: gives this strange narrative that, well, the new barriers just
Speaker 6: didn't get here on time.
Speaker 1: Well, when you look at the corruption that's involved in
Speaker 1: this in the city of New Orleans and the amount
Speaker 1: of corruption from top to bottom, there's there's possibility that
Speaker 1: you have an awful lot of incompetence and maybe you
Speaker 1: don't need somebody on the inside. All you just need
Speaker 1: to do is recognize the incompetence and work around it.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 6: But see that the driver is a terrorist driver, I
Speaker 6: think must have known that the barrier would not be there.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there were news reports talking about the barriers
Speaker 1: that were being repaired. I mean, we're we've got news
Speaker 1: reports that the Big Mac Bridge is being repaired, being
Speaker 1: told that which streets are shut down for whatever events
Speaker 1: and so on. So a lot of this stuff in
Speaker 1: preparation for the Super Bowl would have probably been in
Speaker 1: the news as far as what has been taken down
Speaker 1: or what hasn't been taken down, or what's being repaired
Speaker 1: and what's not being repaired. So I'm not sure that
Speaker 1: there needs to be any nefarious thing involved in that.
Speaker 1: Just pick up a newspaper or so.
Speaker 6: See. I don't know what was in their knees in
Speaker 6: that area, but that may be true that it was
Speaker 6: published so the terrorist knew, well I could take advantage
Speaker 6: of the situation. Yeah, you know who knows. I suspect that.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sure that we'll know everything, Bob. I'm sure
Speaker 1: that they will tell us everything once they have completed
Speaker 1: their investigation fifty years from now. Bob, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the phone call. Late for a break here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like, yeah, we'll know everything about the
Speaker 1: Kennedy assassination one of these, well, either Kennedy assassinations. We
Speaker 1: may even find out the real truth behind the Martin
Speaker 1: Luther King Junior assassination sometime well, no, that's let me see,
Speaker 1: that's fifty maybe sometime within the next hundred years. Dave
Speaker 1: Hatter's coming up at the part of the hour. I'm
Speaker 1: Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas fifty five kre see
Speaker 1: the talk.
Speaker 5: Station Affordable Imaging School.
Speaker 1: Coming up on six thirty one. Kevin Brdon in for
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas fifty five Karisee detalk Station. It is Tech Friday.
Speaker 1: Our good friend Dave Hatter is here cerebersecurity expert, the
Speaker 1: premier cybersecurity expert in since according to in my opinion, Dave.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the program.
Speaker 10: Morning Kevin, Happy New Year.
Speaker 1: Always good to be here, always glad to have you.
Speaker 1: My friend got some This is like scare the hell
Speaker 1: out of a half hour on the morning show here,
Speaker 1: But we need to know these things. Chinese communist military
Speaker 1: writings revealed plans for strategic influence operations through TikTok. Now
Speaker 1: this is an old I mean we have heard this
Speaker 1: off and on for several years now.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Kevin, and I think this is an important story
Speaker 8: because it's bigger than just TikTok. Although TikTok has been
Speaker 8: under fire off and on for years. As I'm sure
Speaker 8: you and all your listeners are well aware, a law
Speaker 8: was passed the banit that apparently is now going to
Speaker 8: the Supreme Court to try that work out.
Speaker 10: Can that be upheld?
Speaker 8: But you know, the original complaints about TikTok were privacy related.
Speaker 8: Then there became concerns about propaganda and persuasion, and I
Speaker 8: think this story is interesting. So the headline you read
Speaker 8: us from the Washington Times, and you know it goes
Speaker 8: on to essentially warnt about the same kind of things
Speaker 8: that I and others have been concerned about. Again, the
Speaker 8: data collection is bad. TikTok aggressively collects your data. I
Speaker 8: encourage people go see for themselves. For any app, especially
Speaker 8: if it has a Chinese Communist Party source, check out
Speaker 8: the privacy. Well, that's a very strong warning sign, I think, Kevin,
Speaker 8: and you may see a theme in some of these
Speaker 8: articles I sent you. You know, the Chinese Communist Party,
Speaker 8: the People's Republic of China. They're not our friends. They're
Speaker 8: increasingly adversarial with us. And when you basically have an
Speaker 8: application on a device in your pocket that has acts
Speaker 8: to virtually every piece of information about you, again, don't
Speaker 8: take my word for it. Go look at the Apple
Speaker 8: privacy label in the Apple Store and see what data
Speaker 8: TikTok collects. And then think that goes back to China,
Speaker 8: to a company controlled by the Chinese Communist Party where
Speaker 8: they passed the law. I want to remind folks in
Speaker 8: the Hill did a piece on this. They passed actually
Speaker 8: a couple of different laws that require companies in China
Speaker 8: to turn any government any data the government wants. So
Speaker 8: you have a device in your pocket, it can listen
Speaker 8: to you, It knows where you are, it knows who
Speaker 8: you talk to, it knows what you talk about. All
Speaker 8: of that data going to China. And that's bad enough.
Speaker 8: But then when you get into the propaganda and the
Speaker 8: persuasion aspects of it. Forbes did a piece on this
Speaker 8: heating feature TikTok has where it can essentially are they
Speaker 8: that people controlling it can make amplify some stories and
Speaker 8: suppress others. That gets us back to the propaganda aspects
Speaker 8: of this, And again I encourage.
Speaker 1: For the sounds on Google.
Speaker 10: Well, it's think about this, Kevin.
Speaker 8: Can you imagine during the Cold War if we have
Speaker 8: allowed the Soviet to put devices in your house or
Speaker 8: in your pocket that could listen to you that knew
Speaker 8: everything about everything you were doing at all times or no,
Speaker 8: of course we.
Speaker 1: Would or radio free SUSSR, I mean broadcast.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but this is even worse than that, Kevin, because
Speaker 8: that you know, radio only talks to you, right, It
Speaker 8: doesn't listen to you. It doesn't know your location, it
Speaker 8: doesn't know who you text or call and what you
Speaker 8: what you're texting or calling about. As a reminder, again
Speaker 8: related to this story, we've now seen nine different telecom
Speaker 8: companies broken into the FEDS have urged that everyone use
Speaker 8: into end encrypted messaging apps because all your data going
Speaker 8: through these networks can be captured and subverted. So you know,
Speaker 8: this TikTok article is basically saying, again Washington Times, people
Speaker 8: should read it for themselves. Here's I'm reading directly from it,
Speaker 8: the Chinese Communist Party, the People's Liberation Army. If you,
Speaker 8: TikTok is one of several strategic tools for political influence
Speaker 8: operations and military support acquitting to open source intelligence recently
Speaker 8: made public. So when people say, well, how is tik
Speaker 8: talk worse than Facebook or Google or fill in the blank,
Speaker 8: my answer as well, because it's controlled by a Chinese company.
Speaker 8: China has laws that require them to turn your data over,
Speaker 8: and even worse, now from released writings, we see that
Speaker 8: they intend to use the propaganda component. They intend to
Speaker 8: use TikTok as an influence tool to amplify their narratives
Speaker 8: and suppress Western narratives.
Speaker 10: Or whatever it is they want.
Speaker 8: So again, while some people have always said, I'll come on, David,
Speaker 8: that's just a conspiracy theory, you know, come on, why
Speaker 8: is this worse than Facebook?
Speaker 10: Google? Fill in the blank.
Speaker 8: It's because it's controlled by the Chinese Communist Party and
Speaker 8: clearly they intend to if they haven't used it already,
Speaker 8: they clearly intend to use it, based on their own writings,
Speaker 8: as a way to manipulate Americans in the West in general.
Speaker 8: So TikTok should go away. You know, President by our
Speaker 8: President Trump originally was for banning TikTok. Now apparently he's
Speaker 8: come off of that. You know, I'm i while I'm
Speaker 8: generally not for this sort of thing, i am absolutely
Speaker 8: for banning TikTok because of the propaganda nature and the
Speaker 8: fact that it's essentially spyware in your pocket or the
Speaker 8: biggest adversary we have on the planet.
Speaker 1: Well, absolutely, Dave Hanter. And the thing is is that
Speaker 1: when you talk about conspiracy theory, is the difference between
Speaker 1: the conspiracy theory and fact is probably about six months.
Speaker 1: So we know that, and when your adversary tells you
Speaker 1: exactly what they are going to do and how they
Speaker 1: are going to do it. Maybe you ought to pay
Speaker 1: attention because that's exactly what they're doing through TikTok. So Yeah, agreed,
Speaker 1: all right, we need to step out real quick, you know,
Speaker 1: the drill or get my guest, Dave, cybersecurity expert. We've
Speaker 1: got a few other things to talk out, and I've
Speaker 1: got one for you, my friend. Hopefully we can talk
Speaker 1: about that. I'm Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas. Fifty

Speaker 1: guess Dave Hatter, Cincinnati cyber security expert talking as well
Speaker 1: as I keep saying, that's scare the heck out of
Speaker 1: your Friday about our star tech Friday. Thanks for hanging
Speaker 1: with us. US lawmakers unveil a plan to give all
Speaker 1: Americans the right to online privacy. I see some roadblocks here,
Speaker 1: but let's have at it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, this is interesting, Kevin, because there there's an organ
Speaker 8: for folks who care about privacy, and you know, we
Speaker 8: don't have enough time for me to really get into
Speaker 8: why you should. You know, we could easily do several
Speaker 8: hours on that topic. Yes, but I mean if you
Speaker 8: just go back to what we just talked about here
Speaker 8: with TikTok and the idea that you know, really sensitive
Speaker 8: data about you is being collected all the time from
Speaker 8: your devices, your car, your doorbell, your.
Speaker 10: Computer, et cetera.
Speaker 8: And then you know, being used in ways that perhaps
Speaker 8: you don't fully understand or would not be able to,
Speaker 8: would not appreciate if you did. There's an organization called
Speaker 8: IAPP iapp dot org, the International Association of Privacy Professional
Speaker 8: They have a map and they track privacy legislation. Right now,
Speaker 8: about eighteen states have passed some sort of law. I
Speaker 8: like to, I like to, you know, give my friends
Speaker 8: a little grief over in Ohio because for once, Kentucky
Speaker 8: actually did something useful ahead of Ohio.
Speaker 10: Kentucky's legislature did.
Speaker 1: Pass myself off of the floor.
Speaker 9: No.
Speaker 1: Actually, in Kentucky we usually do things a lot better
Speaker 1: sometimes than Ohio, so that's not a surprise. I apologize.
Speaker 8: We did pass a privacy law, and I know Ohio
Speaker 8: has one working through the legislature. About eighteen states have one.
Speaker 8: But my point, Kevin is it's kind of a pass
Speaker 8: where quill. Different states have different rules. Some are very stringent,
Speaker 8: like California, which kind of gets close to the General
Speaker 8: Data Protection.
Speaker 10: Regulation and the EU. Others are a lot less rigorous.
Speaker 10: And the point is I understand.
Speaker 8: You know, as as a former small business owner someone
Speaker 8: that works in a small business with a lot of
Speaker 8: small businesses, I understand how burdensome it can be to
Speaker 8: have to try to comply with different laws all around
Speaker 8: the country. So I think you can make a strong case,
Speaker 8: and especially for you as a consumer, because while as
Speaker 8: I said last segment, I'm generally an anti regulation guy,
Speaker 8: this is a scenario where when companies don't do the
Speaker 8: right things and your data gets leaked or stolen, then you,
Speaker 8: as a consumer, are ultimately the one that suffers. Even
Speaker 8: if that company goes out of business, the downstream effects
Speaker 8: of your data being leaked or stolen can linger for years,
Speaker 8: if not decades, as bad guys use that data to
Speaker 8: either impersonate you and get credit or whatever in your name,
Speaker 8: or in many cases, because there's now so much data
Speaker 8: about us thanks to apps like TikTok and companies like
Speaker 8: Facebook out there, that it makes it much easier for
Speaker 8: them to fish you and create much more realistic emails,
Speaker 8: much more realistic voicemails, much more realistic texts because they
Speaker 8: have information about you from these leaks and breaches that
Speaker 8: make them appear to be legitimate when they claim to
Speaker 8: be your bank or your insurance company or whatever sort
Speaker 8: of guys, they're using National Public Data.
Speaker 1: They touched on this last week with the data breaches
Speaker 1: and how the phishing exercises and send you these emails
Speaker 1: that appear legal, yeah legit.
Speaker 8: So yes, yeah, so they're they're using all that data.
Speaker 8: National Public Data is a background check company. Roughly three
Speaker 8: b and records were stolen. And I just saw over
Speaker 8: the past week, Kevin, that apparently apparently, uh, the social
Speaker 8: Security number of every American was leaked in that breach.
Speaker 1: So lovely.
Speaker 10: Yeah, this is a real problem.
Speaker 8: And while I'm I'm generally against legislation, and I think
Speaker 8: most of the time, you know, particularly when it comes
Speaker 8: to anything tech related, the tech is moving way faster
Speaker 8: than the legislators are.
Speaker 10: Keeping up with.
Speaker 8: But the good news is, and kind of as you
Speaker 8: said segueing into this, there is a move a foot
Speaker 8: to create a national privacy law that would require companies
Speaker 8: to protect your data and have tea when they don't, because,
Speaker 8: like I said, I understand how burdensome this can be,
Speaker 8: especially with this patch where quilt of eighteen different rules now,
Speaker 8: but like you see, we're the ones that suffer. You know,
Speaker 8: if you're a company and you get breached, and say,
Speaker 8: even if you are catastrophically impacted and you go out
Speaker 8: of business, you and I and everyone else listening to
Speaker 8: the show this morning are the ones that suffer from
Speaker 8: this data being out there. We need to get serious
Speaker 8: about this, just like we do all aspects of cybersecurity.
Speaker 8: In my opinion, there should be some sort of privacy
Speaker 8: law that creates rules where you are required to protect
Speaker 8: this consumer information and creates teeth when you don't.
Speaker 1: So, Amica, instead of going back and reinventing the wheel,
Speaker 1: is there one out there that is currently in existence
Speaker 1: that should be the national standard.
Speaker 8: Well, the CCPA, the California Consumer Privacy Act, is by
Speaker 8: far the most stringent. It may be overkill. I understand
Speaker 8: why people don't like it. From a consumer perspective, it's
Speaker 8: by far the best for you. There needs to be
Speaker 8: some balance here. I think what Kentucky did is pretty good.
Speaker 8: It's missing some key things. In my mind, it's not
Speaker 8: as strong as it could be, and I'm hoping over
Speaker 8: time we can ease into that. But if you look
Speaker 8: into the American Privacy Rights Act, that's what this bill
Speaker 8: is proposed. It's a bipartisan piece of legislation introduced by
Speaker 8: a Democrat and the Senate and a Republican in the House.
Speaker 10: You know, I don't know what legs it has.
Speaker 8: It's something I'm kind of paying attention to and trying
Speaker 8: to work with the local legislators I know in this
Speaker 8: area to get this done. I would encourage all of
Speaker 8: your listeners go look into this particular bill again, American
Speaker 8: Privacy Right Privacy Rights Act.
Speaker 6: I don't love it.
Speaker 10: It's much better than nothing.
Speaker 8: It would be way better in my opinion, to have
Speaker 8: something like this nationwide rather than all these different regulations.
Speaker 8: If you're a business that needs to comply with this,
Speaker 8: But again, as consumers who are people also that work
Speaker 8: in these businesses, you really should care about your privacy.
Speaker 8: You really should want to ensure that companies who are
Speaker 8: increasingly collecting your data in all forms, in every conceivable
Speaker 8: way are incentivized and penalized, incentivized to did the right
Speaker 8: thing in penalized when they don't.
Speaker 10: I mean that's where the bottom line, So, you know,
Speaker 10: can this happen?
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 8: There's a lot of powerful lobbyists who don't like it
Speaker 8: because of course it creates extra costs and regulations for them.
Speaker 1: Bactly we need it, Yeah, I guess is, Dave Hatter.
Speaker 1: We've got a couple other things to talk about. But
Speaker 1: you know, when you see when you mentioned that the
Speaker 1: technology moves much faster than the legislation. I mean, we
Speaker 1: are still waiting on a twenty twenty three bill that
Speaker 1: would force companies to allow AM radios in all cars,
Speaker 1: and that still hasn't been passed. The importance of that
Speaker 1: with go ahead.
Speaker 8: I'm just going to say, it's kind of crazy because
Speaker 8: what's the ejection, Yeah, exactly, what's the objection to it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, other than the fact that it's the main driver
Speaker 1: of when there's an emergency out there, that that is
Speaker 1: the main driver to get that two people and so
Speaker 1: something that important is still lingering out there. So the
Speaker 1: length of this time of these legislation is just insane.
Speaker 1: Dave Hadder will be right back and we'll talk about
Speaker 1: the next topic. And like I said, I got one
Speaker 1: for you too, get your opinion on that. I'm Kevin
Speaker 1: Gordon and for Brian Thomas fifty five KR see the
Speaker 1: talk station.
Speaker 3: The holidays are a blast, but the financial hangover that
Speaker 3: could be a huge bummer in Matt and I'm Joel.

Speaker 1: Six continuing our conversation with Dave Hatter, Cincinnati cyber security expert,
Speaker 1: and just a lot of great information forget Chrome, Google
Speaker 1: starts tracking all your devices in eight weeks. Yeah, Kevin.
Speaker 8: So anyone that knows me or has ever listened to
Speaker 8: me talking about this stuff in the media knows I'm
Speaker 8: not a fan of Google. Google like Meta. So let's
Speaker 8: let me take back up a stuff. Alphabet is the
Speaker 8: parent company of Google. Now, Meta is the parent company
Speaker 8: of Facebook. And it's important to understand these names. You
Speaker 8: can understand the players and what platforms they own, because
Speaker 8: you know, Alphabet is not just Google, Meta.
Speaker 10: Is not just Facebook.
Speaker 8: For example, Meta has you know, WhatsApp and Instagram and
Speaker 8: other other brands and platforms under the Meta banner.
Speaker 10: So you have to understand the business.
Speaker 8: Model of these companies, which is you are not their customer,
Speaker 8: you are their product.
Speaker 10: I mean, think about it. What can you buy from Meta?
Speaker 8: Yeah, they made those goggles, and you know, there's a
Speaker 8: couple of different things, but in general, they provide platforms
Speaker 8: like WhatsApp and Messenger and Facebook for free quote unquote,
Speaker 8: because they collect your data and monetize it.
Speaker 10: And the same thing with Google.
Speaker 8: Right, they have Google, the Google Search engine, they have
Speaker 8: the Chrome web browser, they have the Android operating system. Yes,
Speaker 8: you can buy a pixel phone from Google. So there
Speaker 8: are are some products you can buy, but generally speaking,
Speaker 8: both of these companies and others like Facebook or twit
Speaker 8: TikTok rather make their money off of your data. Now,
Speaker 8: I'm not saying that in and of itself is necessarily
Speaker 8: bad or nefarious. What I am saying is you have
Speaker 8: to understand their business model versus a company like Apple
Speaker 8: or Microsoft. Yes, Microsoft collects your data. Yes Apple collects
Speaker 8: your data, but their business model is different. They are
Speaker 8: not in the business of selling your data. Now I'm
Speaker 8: not saying that that will never happen, but generally speaking,
Speaker 8: they're making hardware and software products they sell to you,
Speaker 8: and that's where they make their money. So when you
Speaker 8: look at these data oriented companies and this Google thing
Speaker 8: that that article points out, they want to collect as
Speaker 8: much data back to as possible and one of the
Speaker 8: things they've realized and by the way, there's a lawsuit
Speaker 8: with the Department of Justice where they would potentially have
Speaker 8: to divest their web browser Chrome. So Chrome is a tool.
Speaker 8: It's a web browser, just like Safaris a web browser
Speaker 8: for Apple, or Edges the web browser for Microsoft. And
Speaker 8: for a long time, Chrome was collecting enormous amounts of
Speaker 8: data about you with cookies and that sort of thing,
Speaker 8: whether you're using Google platforms or not. If Google has
Speaker 8: to dive ast Chrome, and because more and more people
Speaker 8: are starting to get wise to privacy and blocking cookies
Speaker 8: and that kind of thing, they would potentially lose a
Speaker 8: lot of data. They also know that more and more
Speaker 8: people are using their phones, they're consuming content through smart
Speaker 8: TVs and streaming and that sort of thing where you're
Speaker 8: not using a Chrome browser and they're not collecting that data.
Speaker 8: So they're looking at other techniques, as that article plants
Speaker 8: help in one in particular called fingerprinting, And what they're
Speaker 8: talking about in that article is basically they're moving away
Speaker 8: from cookies and traditional ways of tracking online to fingerprinting,
Speaker 8: which is more difficult to know when it's being done,
Speaker 8: it's more difficult to block. And the idea with this
Speaker 8: fingerprinting concept is they'd be able to track you across multiple,
Speaker 8: if not all, devices, so they would not only collect
Speaker 8: more data about you, but have a more complete picture
Speaker 8: of what you're doing, because it's worth more money to them, right.
Speaker 8: The more data they have, the more they know about you,
Speaker 8: the more they can use that information to persuade you.
Speaker 8: The more, they can use that information as you know,
Speaker 8: fuel to get other companies to buy it and spend
Speaker 8: lots of money with them, whether it's selling you ads
Speaker 8: or selling that data to them for whatever they want
Speaker 8: to do with it.
Speaker 10: So that's what it's all about. Guess how do you
Speaker 10: avoid that?
Speaker 1: How do you avoid that data gathering? Is it because
Speaker 1: your devices are connected or does it need to do
Speaker 1: you need to sink all your devices to these browsers.
Speaker 8: That's a good question, and I would start out and
Speaker 8: the first step is awareness and caring about your privacy.
Speaker 8: I recently wrote a blog post on my on LinkedIn.
Speaker 8: People can easily find it. I'll send you the link
Speaker 8: where I kind of explain the technologies that I use
Speaker 8: for my personal life. Right the stuff we're using in
Speaker 8: trust is different. It's you know, more enterprise grade business stuff.
Speaker 8: But part of the question, part of the answer your
Speaker 8: question rather Kevin, is you know, to think about privacy
Speaker 8: and choose privacy oriented platforms and to avoid these avoid
Speaker 8: platforms from companies that want to attract you like this,
Speaker 8: and then when possible, using these privacy oriented platforms and tools,
Speaker 8: you know, use them to limit the flow of information
Speaker 8: to these companies and just avoid their properties altogether.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely I do have one thing before we get
Speaker 1: out of here, and of course people should go to
Speaker 1: your LinkedIn page and I we'll talk about that. I
Speaker 1: saw this article about smart glasses being developed or being
Speaker 1: available through meta ray band, metaal sunglasses. Smart classes will
Speaker 1: come into focus in twenty twenty five. I assume that
Speaker 1: this is one that we want to avoid.
Speaker 8: Also, well, here's the thing I fully understand, especially like
Speaker 8: if there's someone who doesn't have good site, how this
Speaker 8: could be beneficial for you. But in general, I have
Speaker 8: a lot of privacy concerns if I have smart glasses on.
Speaker 8: And you may recall Google had a product for a
Speaker 8: while didn't really care if you know, I wear glasses
Speaker 8: every day, Kevin. If my glasses have a camera and
Speaker 8: a microphone in them and you have no idea that
Speaker 8: I am recording you, that's a real privacy problem for you.
Speaker 8: So while I fully understand how beneficial it might be
Speaker 8: for me to be hands free, like let's say I'm
Speaker 8: working on my car and I want to watch a
Speaker 8: YouTube video and I could somehow talk to my glasses
Speaker 8: and it could show them to me. I fully get
Speaker 8: how cool. That could be hands free using both hands.
Speaker 8: I don't get my computer or tablet dirty. But at
Speaker 8: the same time, unless there's a clear way for you
Speaker 8: to know that you are talking to someone who is
Speaker 8: recording you, that's a real major problem in my mind.
Speaker 8: That's like something right out of orwell, you know, nineteen
Speaker 8: eighty four was, you know, like forty years off. So
Speaker 8: I'm not a fan of them, unless and until this
Speaker 8: might require some regulation. There would have to be some
Speaker 8: kind of light or something on them that tells you, Hey,
Speaker 8: this person over here with these glasses.
Speaker 1: How about a little warning flag that comes up and
Speaker 1: just kind of flash flutters in the breeze, warning, warning, danger, danger.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's again. I mean I could see an upside
Speaker 10: to it.
Speaker 8: I can also a serious downside, like, you know, could
Speaker 8: you be in some kind of sensitive legal negotiations. Yeah,
Speaker 8: and the person in the room that you're talking to
Speaker 8: is capturing all of that somehow. I mean I could
Speaker 8: point out many, many, many cases where that could go bad. Yes,
Speaker 8: for the average.
Speaker 1: Person, it would be too hard to figure that one out.
Speaker 1: Dave Hatter, thank you so much, always great stuff, Always
Speaker 1: great talking to you, my friend. And we've got to
Speaker 1: get together for lunch sometimes.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm up for that.
Speaker 8: Just let me know what works for you. And yeah,
Speaker 8: always my pleasure, Kevin. Happy New Year to you and
Speaker 8: all your listeners.
Speaker 1: All right, do you take care? Dave Hatter since Anty

Speaker 1: This report is sponsored five minutes after seven o'clock. Happy Friday,
Speaker 1: first Friday of January twenty twenty five and the tenth
Speaker 1: day of Christmas. Welcome to the program, Nick no, author
Speaker 1: of Our God Given Freedom. Welcome the program. Nick. How
Speaker 1: are you this morning?
Speaker 10: Hi?
Speaker 9: Kevin, thank you, and I'm great this morning, and I'm
Speaker 9: here to talk about the debate over H one B Visus,
Speaker 9: especially which touches on everything I write about. First of all,
Speaker 9: I am a Frederick Douglas Republican, and I am a
Speaker 9: Trump Republican Democrats and establishment Republicans say we need more
Speaker 9: of these H one B visas, But I say we
Speaker 9: need to stop the division and the unequal treatment in
Speaker 9: our country. Millions of black and white Americans, and male
Speaker 9: and female could do these jobs if not for our
Speaker 9: Democrat run system of public education. Frederick Douglas wrote at
Speaker 9: the US Founding, the richest, most powerfully leads in the
Speaker 9: country were the slave plantation owners who founded the Democratic Party.
Speaker 4: You know, while our.
Speaker 9: Founders tried to secure our freedom, our God given freedom
Speaker 9: with the US Constitution, the Democrats tried to make black
Speaker 9: Americans feel and be inferior to white people. And that's
Speaker 9: what they did to try to maintain.
Speaker 1: And that's not in the past, my friend, that continues
Speaker 1: through to today.
Speaker 9: So absolutely, that's what I was going to say. The
Speaker 9: same class as Richie leads runs our education system today.
Speaker 9: And after Douglas, Thomas Sewle and late Walder Williams wrote
Speaker 9: extensively about this, and both of them are quoted in
Speaker 9: my book. Black black students are assumed to be inferior
Speaker 9: and advanced through our system without achieving And you know,
Speaker 9: for the friend, Walder Williams called this a fraudulent education.
Speaker 9: A friend of mine is a black lady who owns
Speaker 9: her own scientific related business. She taught science for a
Speaker 9: year in a Cincinnati public school, mostly black high school.
Speaker 10: She she.
Speaker 9: Assigned them. She gave them two weeks and assigned them
Speaker 9: to do a report on a scientific subject, but no
Speaker 9: one did the report because they said they didn't know
Speaker 9: how to write a report. So she took the time
Speaker 9: to teach them how to write a report, and every
Speaker 9: student turned in a report. She was criticized for that
Speaker 9: because somebody else was supposed to teach him how to
Speaker 9: write reports. But she said that in the same high
Speaker 9: school they had all the All the students were congratulated
Speaker 9: whenever they had any kind of athletic achievement, but they
Speaker 9: were never congratulated for academic achievements.
Speaker 4: My co author K.
Speaker 9: Carl Smith has a brother who teaches robotics to black
Speaker 9: children in elementary school, and his students have won awards.
Speaker 4: For the robotics work that they do.
Speaker 9: Their dad, Kay Carl, and his brother's dad was a
Speaker 9: NASA scientist Eisenhower, John F.
Speaker 4: Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr.
Speaker 9: All said that we need to teach black and white
Speaker 9: we need to treat black and white Americans equally, and
Speaker 9: that's exactly what we need to do. One of my
Speaker 9: black classmates from a Catholic high school more than fifty
Speaker 9: years ago, has spent his life as as a medical
Speaker 9: doctor and a psychiatrist.
Speaker 4: The reason we need h one b Vsus.
Speaker 9: Is the Democrat run public schools that discriminate against black
Speaker 9: and white, and black versus white, and male versus female.
Speaker 1: Well, it's a situation. My guess is nick nole, but
Speaker 1: it's you know, remember George W. Bush referred to the
Speaker 1: soft bigotry of low expectations. What we see in the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party is the hard bigotry of no expectations. How
Speaker 1: you see that through the academic standards they set certain
Speaker 1: schools in the inner city. We see that, how they
Speaker 1: how they try to well they and even more insidious,
Speaker 1: I believe, is when they started doing the affirmative action
Speaker 1: and the DEEI where you getting a student to go
Speaker 1: to a ivy League school without having the preparation for
Speaker 1: that and then them fail, and then what that does
Speaker 1: to their psyche because their high school education wasn't to
Speaker 1: the extent that to bring them up to the academic
Speaker 1: standards of going to an IVY lead school. And so
Speaker 1: you are bringing you are are setting somebody up for failure.
Speaker 1: And when I look and you see that even in
Speaker 1: the all the universities that the single biggest class, well
Speaker 1: classes are in the first year remedial English, math and
Speaker 1: history or what's the other one, math and well anyway,
Speaker 1: they're a yeah, there are there are, you know, remedial classes,
Speaker 1: which means that they've graduated from high school and aren't
Speaker 1: up to the standards of the school, whether it be
Speaker 1: Northern Kentucky University, the university, you know, even some of
Speaker 1: the trade schools. And and this is sad. And yet
Speaker 1: we've got the and I you know, I'm sure there's
Speaker 1: a lot of good teachers in the teachers' unions and
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of good teachers out there, but
Speaker 1: by and large, they are they are doing no service
Speaker 1: to their their students and preparing them for the future.
Speaker 9: That's exactly right, Kevin. And when you say that, you
Speaker 9: sound almost exactly like Thomas Soul.
Speaker 4: He says you're doing well.
Speaker 1: Maybe Thomas Soul sounds like me, you know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: he's in his late nineties. Yeah, I know, he's not him.
Speaker 4: He's been talking about this far.
Speaker 1: Oh I know, I know.
Speaker 4: And Walter Williams did too during his whole life.
Speaker 9: And you know he's the one that called our public
Speaker 9: education system a fraudulent system of education. Yeah, because they
Speaker 9: pretend I miss him so badly advancing people.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes he was. He was a great writer and
Speaker 4: a great man to stand up for freedom.
Speaker 9: And you know, we just we have people that we
Speaker 9: can use to do all these jobs that need to
Speaker 9: be done in this country if we had a proper
Speaker 9: education system.
Speaker 1: Well, Nick, even if we do have the proper education system,
Speaker 1: I know of several individuals and I think I had
Speaker 1: a caller the other day when I was in that
Speaker 1: when you get into the programming, when you get into
Speaker 1: data processing and those fields that the people that are
Speaker 1: qualified for that they are being pushed out in favor
Speaker 1: of these H one B visas, h H one B
Speaker 1: visas where they can bring in somebody from another country
Speaker 1: and pay them less money to do the same job.
Speaker 1: There was a story years ago that Disney did this.
Speaker 1: They told their employees that you know you're going to
Speaker 1: be a trained your replacement, and if you don't comply,
Speaker 1: then you're not going to get your severance package, and
Speaker 1: so they had to train the employees to take their jobs,
Speaker 1: which was for less pay. We see this and sometimes
Speaker 1: in where you've seen some of these age discrimination lawsuits
Speaker 1: where somebody who has been doing a job and they
Speaker 1: bring in somebody that's twenty thirty years younger than them
Speaker 1: at less pay to do the same job and push
Speaker 1: the other people out. So this is not just you know,
Speaker 1: African Americans and people that aren't qualified or available to
Speaker 1: do the job. We've got companies that are ignoring the
Speaker 1: people that can do the job in favor of cheaper
Speaker 1: labor and abusing the system.
Speaker 9: That's right, and Disney is known as one of the
Speaker 9: welcust companies because of their efforts to try to bring
Speaker 9: in people who were not qualified and trying.
Speaker 4: To change the way we do things. This is this
Speaker 4: is really an important thing.
Speaker 9: Is there's a huge discrimination between black and white, and
Speaker 9: male and female the way they're treated in our public
Speaker 9: education system. And that's the root of the problem, I believe,
Speaker 9: and and throughout our government. It's not just the education system,
Speaker 9: but throughout our government. People are treated differently based on
Speaker 9: their ethnicity and their sex. And this just needs this
Speaker 9: needs to stop. You know, it's Ike said that Eisenhower
Speaker 9: back in back in the nineteen fifties, you know. JFK
Speaker 9: followed that up, following Eisenhower and Martin Luther King Junior
Speaker 9: said the same thing. We need to treat people equally.
Speaker 9: And as Martin Luther King said, we need to value
Speaker 9: people based on the content of their character, not on
Speaker 9: the color of their skin. And we just we need
Speaker 9: to we need to follow what these amount have told
Speaker 9: us many many years ago. But nobody seems to pay
Speaker 9: attention and it's time that we start paying attention now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And we've had the last four years of
Speaker 1: where we have had the effects of and we've seen
Speaker 1: the effects of DEI, we've seen the effects of this
Speaker 1: indoctrination that we've seen in terms of the education system.
Speaker 1: And I think if you're looking for a bright spot
Speaker 1: or silver lining from the pandemic, the fact that so
Speaker 1: many of these kids were at home, the parents had
Speaker 1: to be home as well because their businesses were shut
Speaker 1: down or they were working from home, and they could
Speaker 1: see what their kids were learning. Hopefully this will be
Speaker 1: enough to spur them on to keep in touch with
Speaker 1: what their kids are learning and make sure that these
Speaker 1: curriculums are changed because we're raising an entire group of
Speaker 1: citizens that aren't qualified for the technology that they're going
Speaker 1: to be seeing over the coming years to do the
Speaker 1: job on day one. And that is something that definitely
Speaker 1: has to change.
Speaker 9: That's exactly right. And back back when jd Vance was
Speaker 9: running for Senate, you know, a few years ago, before
Speaker 9: he got the endorsement of Trump to run for Senate,
Speaker 9: I congratulated him one day because it's something he did.
Speaker 9: The Inquire published the story saying that he had snubbed
Speaker 9: the Chamber of Commerce, and I said, why is this?
Speaker 9: And I read the rest of the article and they
Speaker 9: said that he was the only one of the seven
Speaker 9: candidates who did not show up at the Chamber of Commerce.
Speaker 9: They explain why they should, they should endorse him, and
Speaker 9: the reason he didn't is because he said, Hey, I
Speaker 9: know what you want. You want more immigrants coming in here,
Speaker 9: and I want more people, more Americans to be hired
Speaker 9: for jobs. And this is pretty strange. I mean, it
Speaker 9: might be pretty strange to some people to know that
Speaker 9: the JD. Vance's wife is of Indian descent. Both her parents. Yeah,
Speaker 9: we're from India.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, you know, but Quarley for a break here, and
Speaker 1: I want to thank you for spending time with us
Speaker 1: this morning. And the name of the book if you
Speaker 1: wanted to give it out or where people can get
Speaker 1: in touch with you.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's Our God Given Freedom, of Our God Given Freedom.
Speaker 9: It's on Amazon and it's available through me at NOE.
Speaker 9: I'll three three four five at hotmail dot com. Very good,
Speaker 9: you can get in your place. So thank you for
Speaker 9: having me on.
Speaker 1: Kevin, My pleasure, My pleasure, Nick Nole, author of the
Speaker 1: book Our God Given Freedom and talking about these h
Speaker 1: one b visus. I'm Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas
Speaker 1: fifty five. Care see the talk station?
Speaker 2: Have you taken your family?
Speaker 1: Seven in the morning. Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas
Speaker 1: fifty five Care see the talk station. I'd like to
Speaker 1: say smoke in the studio because we are on fire
Speaker 1: this morning. I'd like to think legend of my own mind.
Speaker 1: We're talking about all this stuff, these protests, and we're
Speaker 1: actually talking about this terrorist attack in both Las Vegas
Speaker 1: and New Orleans, and we had I saw some of
Speaker 1: these demonstrations that were in the streets in New York yesterday,
Speaker 1: And one of the clips I saw was somebody all
Speaker 1: dressed up in the Palestinian Oh gosh, what is that?
Speaker 1: The thing Kaifa or Kifa whatever, the thing is the
Speaker 1: headdress that they put on with the scarf and the
Speaker 1: symbol those people. I saw somebody screaming, go back to Europe.
Speaker 1: In our streets, we've got Palestinian pro hamas, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: terrorists protesting because we support Israel. Now, where are the cameras,
Speaker 1: Where are the facial recognition of that? Where are these people?
Speaker 1: Why are these ringleaders not being rounded up, looked at,
Speaker 1: investigated to see what their ties are. Yet, if you
Speaker 1: go to a school board meeting and you raise your
Speaker 1: voice because your kid is being indoctrinated, then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden you're a domestic terrorist. The biggest threat in
Speaker 1: this country, according to Joe Biden, was not you know, communism,
Speaker 1: was not red, it was not Jijingping and communist China.
Speaker 1: It wasn't anything else other than white supremacists. That they
Speaker 1: were the biggest threat other than Donald Trump to democracy.
Speaker 1: And yet you've got these people that are actually celebrating
Speaker 1: the murder of twelve hundred and thereabouts of Israelis on
Speaker 1: October seventh, and you've got the hostages that are still
Speaker 1: being held. There are what still eight American hostages? Where
Speaker 1: has been the outcry from any And I criticize Fox
Speaker 1: on this as well. What are they saying? Why are
Speaker 1: they still showing the same story and the same clips
Speaker 1: show after show after show after show. Do some independent thought,
Speaker 1: get to another subject, talk about another issue other than
Speaker 1: just you know, the same thing over and over and
Speaker 1: over again, have a little bit of originality. Where is
Speaker 1: anybody caring about these hostages? Why isn't anybody talking about that?
Speaker 1: Why isn't their pressure on the government to do this?
Speaker 1: Now they're saying, oh, yeah, we're working through diplomatic efforts,
Speaker 1: so on. Well, you know what needs to be done
Speaker 1: is of course that Donald Trump has said those hostages
Speaker 1: better be released or they're all hell will be paid.
Speaker 1: There will be hell to be paid. And those are
Speaker 1: the kinds of things. That's the kind of rheter that
Speaker 1: is necessary in order to end this. You put the
Speaker 1: fear of God in your enemies. You don't have you know,
Speaker 1: if they fear you, you don't have to fight them.
Speaker 1: And that is one of the things that has been
Speaker 1: missing from this administration, among other things, leadership to begin with,
Speaker 1: and maybe some people in charge of the government that
Speaker 1: actually likes this country. That would be a novel thought

Speaker 5: What's up.
Speaker 1: Seven nine in the morning, Kevin Gordon and for Brian
Speaker 1: Thomas fifty five K see the talk station. Local headlines
Speaker 1: were covering for you this morning. And retired Sharonville officer
Speaker 1: arrested in prostitution bus it Retired Sharonville Police lieutendant, who
Speaker 1: was arrested in Blue Ash during an undercover operation is
Speaker 1: set to appear in court. Well was set to apeer
Speaker 1: in court yesterday. Officers arrest fifty eight year old Keith
Speaker 1: Schuenover for soliciting for soliciting prostitution December twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Blue Ash Police said they were conducting an undercover operation
Speaker 1: at around three pm on December fourth at the Holiday
Speaker 1: In Express on Creek Road. Shoonover was arrested as a
Speaker 1: result of the investigation, Blue Ash Police Chief Scott Noel.
Speaker 1: Noel said the undercover operation wasn't specifically aimed at apprehending Shoonover.
Speaker 1: They didn't realize who he was until he was arrested.
Speaker 1: Quote once his name popped up, we all knew it because,
Speaker 1: I mean, we are a neighboring police agency, said Noel.
Speaker 1: I've personally known Keith for almost thirty years. The video
Speaker 1: of the Blue Police interrogation is Shoonover, obtained by WCPO,
Speaker 1: showed Shoonover's reaction to the situation. I hate that I
Speaker 1: put you in this spot, Shoonover told officers it was
Speaker 1: terrible situation. And like I said, I've been a cop
Speaker 1: for thirty six years. And they go into details on
Speaker 1: the police report four years his record. Police report that
Speaker 1: the woman identified him as a man who just in
Speaker 1: her room. Woman showed officers a text exchange between them
Speaker 1: where Shoonover agreed to meet her for half an hour
Speaker 1: for two hundred dollars. You know, I believe that this particular,
Speaker 1: at least Blue Ash, There's been a couple of hotels
Speaker 1: and hotels up there that have been the subject of
Speaker 1: police things over the last couple of years, and you
Speaker 1: would think that people would know better, that they would
Speaker 1: have a better understanding of what's going and especially a
Speaker 1: retired police officer for crying out loud knowing that these
Speaker 1: sting operations happen. When you are doing something via text,
Speaker 1: when you're doing something online, you don't know if the
Speaker 1: person on the other end is actually who they say
Speaker 1: they are, and if you're going to meet them, chances
Speaker 1: are it may not be who you think they are
Speaker 1: and it may be a sting operation. So I gesz,
Speaker 1: I gotta wonder. Police are in me see man dead
Speaker 1: after a Price Heal shooting. Police are investigating after a
Speaker 1: man was shot in the car and West Price Hill
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. Police said it happen near the apartment
Speaker 1: complex on Gurley Road around ten forty five pm. Investigators
Speaker 1: said the victim was a black man in his thirties,
Speaker 1: taking the University Hospital the University of Cincinnati Medical Center
Speaker 1: in critical condition. Police said he died a short time later.
Speaker 1: Officers said they searching for multiple suspects who drove from
Speaker 1: the shooting scene. Investigators searched police canine units and check
Speaker 1: security cams in the area. Multiple guns were recovered from
Speaker 1: inside the vehicle of the victim. So tragic story there.
Speaker 1: Tri State Amazon driver accused of stealing over forty packages
Speaker 1: and selling those items online. Amazon driver is accused of
Speaker 1: stealing over forty packages from spring Dale Fulfillment Center and
Speaker 1: selling the items on Facebook marketplace. The individual's name is
Speaker 1: el Godi kha As. Springdale Police said the affidavit that
Speaker 1: Amazon lost prevention specialists contacted them to port and employee theft.
Speaker 1: While investigating, she found video of cod driving to the
Speaker 1: fulfillment center on Strategic Parkway Parkway, grabbing the cart with
Speaker 1: the packages, and leaving. Amazon's employee tracking program showed Kyle
Speaker 1: went directly to his home in Florence. Woman also reported
Speaker 1: police that she found costs selling items on Facebook marketplace.
Speaker 1: Cose accused of Stephen stealing these forty four packages worth
Speaker 1: three two hundred and sixty five dollars. He was charged
Speaker 1: on December thirty first. Tri State psychologists on possible reasons
Speaker 1: behind deadly Let's see, that's another story that they're getting into.
Speaker 1: Let's see what else we got here. Residents upset over
Speaker 1: sea of trash outside Milford apartment complex. Outside the Oakwood Apartments,
Speaker 1: a sea of trash overflows the dumpsters into the parking
Speaker 1: lot outside. It's embarrassing, says Chelsea Miller, a resident of
Speaker 1: the complex. I hate coming home from work and having
Speaker 1: to look at it. Miller has lived in the complex
Speaker 1: and Milford for seven years. She said the pilot trash
Speaker 1: has been there since February. Since February, almost a year.
Speaker 1: Property managers weren't on site Wednesday when WCPO was there.
Speaker 1: We wanted to ask if they knew about the pilot
Speaker 1: trash and were being done about it. I mean, the
Speaker 1: residents of the facility should be raising hell, they should
Speaker 1: be talking to the apartment complex owners and getting it
Speaker 1: taken care of. That is just absolutely ridiculous. Now. I
Speaker 1: know living in a condo complex that from time to
Speaker 1: time the folks that abuse our dumpsters and overfill those
Speaker 1: and put stuff in there that they're not supposed to.
Speaker 1: The condo board does try to crack down on that
Speaker 1: and try to keep that to a minimum. But I'll
Speaker 1: tell you, you know, when you're living among people, you
Speaker 1: really realize how irresponsible, how just not only irresponsible, but
Speaker 1: inconsiderate of others. The box generally says, you know, specifically,
Speaker 1: break down the boxes. But I guess that's too much
Speaker 1: for people to comprehend and do, so that's why some
Speaker 1: of these are overflowing. But and since February, that's ridiculous.

Speaker 1: that are percolating under the actually what people are talking about,
Speaker 1: which are going to rear their ugly heads later on
Speaker 1: in the month or coming up. And I thought, you know,
Speaker 1: we've talked a little bit, or we talk a lot
Speaker 1: about the terrorist attack down in New Orleans and then
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. I've been talking about that and some other things, which, again,
Speaker 1: the overall arching situation here is that we as the
Speaker 1: American people, have been lied to, and we have caught
Speaker 1: our elected officials lying to us so many times that
Speaker 1: when they tell us something at press conferences, we don't
Speaker 1: believe them. And then they get upset with us when
Speaker 1: we go online and indicate what our thoughts are or
Speaker 1: some of the conspiracy theories or trying to connect the dots,
Speaker 1: they don't like that. They want to take those posts down.
Speaker 1: Freedom of information, you know, buyer beware if you don't
Speaker 1: you know, if you see something, you know the old thing.
Speaker 1: Can you remember when the internet first started, people would
Speaker 1: make the joke about, well, if it's on the Internet,
Speaker 1: it's got to be true. Well, we know that's not true.
Speaker 1: So if you see something that appears that it may
Speaker 1: even be legit, check it out yourself. Don't rely I mean,
Speaker 1: if you're not going to rely on what the people
Speaker 1: are going to tell you the press conference, don't rely
Speaker 1: on whoever is posting on their particular account until you
Speaker 1: trust that source. I mean, there's darn few people that
Speaker 1: when I get a posting or read a post or
Speaker 1: get a text from them, that I immediately react and
Speaker 1: want to share it immediately. I usually check them out.
Speaker 1: So I had to caution everybody to do the same.
Speaker 1: But one of the stories that is coming up, and
Speaker 1: we got a dock worker's potential strike on the East coast.
Speaker 1: You may recall back on October II, right before a
Speaker 1: month before the election, the dock workers on the East
Speaker 1: coast went on strike. Now the dock workers on the
Speaker 1: West coast went well, they had a partial shutdown. They
Speaker 1: were doing a work, a slowdown, and that's when you
Speaker 1: started seeing all those container ships out in the bay
Speaker 1: and back out in the ocean. At one time there
Speaker 1: was something like sixty that were waiting there to be unloaded. Well,
Speaker 1: Texas started saying, hey we've got a port. South Carolina
Speaker 1: said hey we've got a port. Virginia said hey we've
Speaker 1: got a port. New York, New Jersey hey, we've got
Speaker 1: a port.
Speaker 4: People.
Speaker 1: Those ships started going through the Panama Canal up the
Speaker 1: East coast, and the time it would have taken for
Speaker 1: them to unload on the West coast, they could have
Speaker 1: been on the East coast unloading those goods. And then
Speaker 1: when things started getting back to normal, people said, or
Speaker 1: it seemed as though that people were more used to
Speaker 1: going to the East coast, and so those docks were
Speaker 1: very busy and taking a lot of volume from the
Speaker 1: West coast, and so the West coast their numbers were off.
Speaker 1: Those have started to level out now, but back in October,
Speaker 1: of course, Now all of a sudden this year you
Speaker 1: have the contract for the East coast dock workers, and
Speaker 1: they're a little bit more militant, if you will, than
Speaker 1: what the West Coast were, and they're complaining and they
Speaker 1: want to have the same salary as the West Coast,
Speaker 1: even though on the East Coast in some of these
Speaker 1: locations the cost of living certainly isn't as much as
Speaker 1: it is in the Port of Los Angeles, the Port
Speaker 1: of Long Beach, the Port of up in Portland, or
Speaker 1: in Washington along the West coast there. So that's a
Speaker 1: sticking point. But the big sticking point is is they
Speaker 1: want in the contract. They don't want any automation at
Speaker 1: the ports because of fear of losing jobs. So I
Speaker 1: guess these people all go to work on horses and
Speaker 1: ride buggage buggies and carriages. They probably don't carry cell
Speaker 1: phones with them because that's technology and the current contract
Speaker 1: says and they want that even rolled back the negotiations
Speaker 1: that they had before that allowed a certain amount of automation,
Speaker 1: they want that pulled back. Now there are studies from
Speaker 1: over in Europe where they have gone more automated than
Speaker 1: here in the United States, and what they found is
Speaker 1: that they put through they can be more efficient, they
Speaker 1: can have a higher volume, and actually leads to hiring
Speaker 1: more employees. So these dock workers on the East Coast
Speaker 1: are being a little bit short sighted.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: This three weeks or this three day work stoppage strike
Speaker 1: that they went on on October third, back things up
Speaker 1: for up to almost a week or two, and knowing
Speaker 1: that this was going to happen, a lot of the
Speaker 1: shippers started shipping their stuff in early because knowing that
Speaker 1: they had to get their stuff in prior to the
Speaker 1: holidays and wanted to make sure that that was available,
Speaker 1: just brought some of the stuff in early, put it
Speaker 1: in warehouses available for the Christmas season. Now they're supposed to.
Speaker 1: Now they have not been back to the negotiating table.
Speaker 1: The dock workers have avoided the contract negotiations. They have
Speaker 1: refused to come to the table because again they are
Speaker 1: insisting on no automation at all or very little, and
Speaker 1: that's a sticking point. Now they are scheduled to meet
Speaker 1: on January the seventh, and they are set to go
Speaker 1: on strike. I think it's when the heck are they
Speaker 1: supposed to go on strike. I think it's right around
Speaker 1: the eighteenth or something around those lines, like right before
Speaker 1: on the fifteenth or so, right before the inauguration. And
Speaker 1: this is something that up until then, January fifteenth is
Speaker 1: their deadline. This is something that the Biden administration needs
Speaker 1: to get on top of and make sure that this
Speaker 1: doesn't happen, because this not only affects, you know, the
Speaker 1: ports there, but also affects the supply chain. And the
Speaker 1: last thing we need after the pandemic, and what we've
Speaker 1: been experiencing over the last couple of years is supply
Speaker 1: chain interruptions. This is a form of uh necessary fulfillment
Speaker 1: as far as our economy is concerned, and to a
Speaker 1: certain extent national defense. So we'll see how this goes.
Speaker 1: Phone numbers five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty one,
Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three talk one, eight hundred eight
Speaker 1: two three eight two, five five pound, five point fifty
Speaker 1: AT and T wireless phone. Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas,
Speaker 1: fifty five k see the talk station.
Speaker 5: Since two thousand and eight, leers commit, Where you going
Speaker 5: with that gun and.
Speaker 1: Your seven fifty in the morning, Kevin Gordon and for

Speaker 1: AT and T wireless phone. Now the stock workers strike.
Speaker 1: I've got a couple other points here before we move on.
Speaker 1: International Longshoreman's Association reached a tenet of deal with the
Speaker 1: ocean carriers and terminal operators. We get this, a sixty
Speaker 1: two percent wage increase over six years. Over six years. Now,
Speaker 1: my math tells me that that's about a six percent
Speaker 1: increase year over year over year. Now, some of that
Speaker 1: may be front loaded, the raises are less afterwards, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe six ten percent now ten percent next year, and
Speaker 1: then falling off. I don't know all the individual details,
Speaker 1: but this affects fifteen different ports from as far north
Speaker 1: as Boston to as far south as Tampa, Florida, So
Speaker 1: all up and down the East Coast and into the
Speaker 1: Gulf Coast is where these ports are. And of course
Speaker 1: talking about ports not only in Houston, Mobile, Alabama, and
Speaker 1: then all the way up the East coast. So this
Speaker 1: could really throw a wrench into the economy if this
Speaker 1: strike were to happen. And when they were talking about
Speaker 1: this back in October, they were talking about what these
Speaker 1: dock workers were making, and they said that based on
Speaker 1: their current contract and what they were making, it is
Speaker 1: very easy for these dock workers to make almost a
Speaker 1: base pay of around one hundred thousand dollars to a
Speaker 1: top end with overtime and such, to almost two hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year. Now sixty two percent pay increase
Speaker 1: on top of that. Now that is not going to
Speaker 1: be absorbed by the ports. I mean, that is going
Speaker 1: to be added to the products that come into those
Speaker 1: ports that get added to the goods that go on
Speaker 1: to our shelves eventually, So we are going to be
Speaker 1: picking the tab up for this. And when you're talking
Speaker 1: about trying to tame inflation, the Federal Reserve keeps saying
Speaker 1: that they're concerned about inflation, trying to get that down
Speaker 1: to two percent. But when you're giving and when you
Speaker 1: look at the last year, you had the United Autoworkers
Speaker 1: that went on strike, they got a hefty pay raise,
Speaker 1: ups got a health hefty pay raise, the railroad workers
Speaker 1: got a hefty pay raise, the dock workers on the
Speaker 1: West Coast got a healthy pay raise. I'm still looking
Speaker 1: for ours, and I'm sure a lot of people around
Speaker 1: were and a lot of people listening they're looking for
Speaker 1: a hefty pay raise. They would like a ten or
Speaker 1: fifteen percent pay raise to key pace. I mean, look
Speaker 1: at the number of people out there that are still
Speaker 1: living paycheck to paycheck, and things are not getting better.
Speaker 1: Even with inflation coming down a bit, the month is
Speaker 1: still longer than the paycheck. People are putting more money
Speaker 1: on their credit cards, and we've got a story about
Speaker 1: the number of defaults that the defaults on credit cards
Speaker 1: are increasing, which means that which tells you that people
Speaker 1: have put too much and they can't afford the payments.
Speaker 1: They're falling behind. We've seen this as far as the economy,
Speaker 1: and when we talk in terms of inflation, inflation, when
Speaker 1: you hear the number is not just a one off,
Speaker 1: it's not okay. The inflation this month was point two percent,
Speaker 1: and on an annualized basis it was two point four
Speaker 1: percent or whatever. And then back in June of twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two, when inflation got up as high for that
Speaker 1: period of nine point one percent, that's just not a
Speaker 1: shot up and then comes back down to zero. That
Speaker 1: is baked into the mix at that point. So the
Speaker 1: following month, if you're at nine point one percent and
Speaker 1: then you come in at ae point two percent, then
Speaker 1: that gets added on top of that nine point one
Speaker 1: And so that's why you're looking at a lot of
Speaker 1: these prices when you're looking at the cost of things
Speaker 1: from four years ago to today, where you see these
Speaker 1: price discrepancies, and especially this comes true, I mean when
Speaker 1: you start seeing the individual price increases on a day,
Speaker 1: on a weekly basis at the grocery store. Obviously, have
Speaker 1: you seen the price of eggs going up forty five
Speaker 1: percent when you look at some of the other things
Speaker 1: going up twenty one, twenty two percent that's been eased
Speaker 1: in over the period of time. And yes, when you
Speaker 1: look back on your purchases, yes it stands out. But
Speaker 1: some of these big ticket items that you only pay
Speaker 1: maybe something like every four years or buy every four years,
Speaker 1: or an appliance, you see these prices darn near double
Speaker 1: over the last four years. And it is absolutely sticker shocked.
Speaker 1: And so when you're talking about these increasing wages and
Speaker 1: then you're talking about are still high energy prices, something's
Speaker 1: got to give. Those energy prices come down. We can
Speaker 1: get back to a level of energy independence and start
Speaker 1: being energy dominant in this country, which will certainly help
Speaker 1: reduce that inflation. But we're also going to have to,
Speaker 1: you know, with raising wages, you're going to have to
Speaker 1: start doing an awful lot of productivity and a lot
Speaker 1: more sales so companies can afford this, and so people
Speaker 1: can afford what they're paying out there. Coming up top
Speaker 1: of the hour, we'll get into some other stuff, especially
Speaker 1: some of the with the cold spell, what that's doing
Speaker 1: to gas prices, and what kind of forward thinking what
Speaker 1: we're going to be seeing in the coming months. I'm
Speaker 1: Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five k see
Speaker 1: the talk station.
Speaker 2: It's a new year, new resolutions, new promises. This is
Speaker 2: a real world impact. Same from Washington.
Speaker 3: It's just another year of keeping you at four fifty
Speaker 3: five KRC the talk station, right.
Speaker 1: Six minutes after eight o'clock, Kevin Gordon here, Happy Friday
Speaker 1: to you. Happy first Friday of January, the tenth day
Speaker 1: of Christmas. You know, we have this story at the
Speaker 1: top of the hour talking about this cold spell that's
Speaker 1: getting ready to hit the United States and this Arctic blast.
Speaker 1: Same thing is going on over in Europe. Although we
Speaker 1: are probably in a much better situation energy wise to
Speaker 1: handle that because of our stockpiles, because of our assets
Speaker 1: are liquid gold, and because of the natural gas that
Speaker 1: we do here in the United States, far different situation
Speaker 1: over in Europe. They are experiencing the same type of
Speaker 1: cold that we are here. Now, There's was a story
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago when I covered that on
Speaker 1: the on this program. A dunk called flueta, a dunkled
Speaker 1: fluta as they refer to it, which is a situation
Speaker 1: where over there in Europe they have gone so much
Speaker 1: into this green energy windmills and solar that it's not
Speaker 1: keeping that it's not sustainable because in the winter months,
Speaker 1: when it's cold and you need that electric Jennifer generation
Speaker 1: it the wind doesn't blow. And so they are hurting
Speaker 1: over there and having to import more natural gas. Now
Speaker 1: one of the crazy things that a lot of people
Speaker 1: don't talk about, and and I'm I you know, this
Speaker 1: is just one as I've learned about, this boggles my mind.
Speaker 1: Up until January, the first gas liquid natural gas was
Speaker 1: flowing from ruck into the European Union and through other
Speaker 1: areas aroundabout ways getting into Europe. At one point, before
Speaker 1: Russia invaded Ukraine, forty percent of the natural gas going
Speaker 1: into Germany and the European Union was from Russia. And
Speaker 1: you may recall back in twenty seventeen, Donald Trump before
Speaker 1: the UN was warning that the dependence on Russia was
Speaker 1: not the way to go, that you're going to be
Speaker 1: held hostage by them. And very famous thing that where
Speaker 1: you saw you can see it on YouTube where the
Speaker 1: German delegation are just laughing their butts off, like you know,
Speaker 1: who is this crazy? You didn't know what the hell
Speaker 1: he's talking about. And then of course Russia invades Ukraine.
Speaker 1: Then Russia says, oh, well, if you're going to buy
Speaker 1: gas from US, you have to pay in rubles because
Speaker 1: that's the only thing we'll accept. Well, then those supplies
Speaker 1: cut down, and so Germany was left of having to
Speaker 1: scramble around to where they could get natural gas from
Speaker 1: other countries Norway, the United States and so on. This
Speaker 1: has now gone down to something in the neighborhood of
Speaker 1: fifteen percent of their needs. And the crazy thing here
Speaker 1: is is that this natural gas pipeline has crossed and
Speaker 1: gone through Ukraine. Now let that sink in for a moment.
Speaker 1: You've got a company or you've got a country Russia
Speaker 1: that invage Ukraine because of the Biden energy policy of
Speaker 1: cutting production, stops selling at leases, and we start buying
Speaker 1: and importing more money or more oil from Opek. And
Speaker 1: so the price of oil goes up from where it
Speaker 1: was during the Trump administration around fifty dollars a barrel,
Speaker 1: up over seventy dollars a barrel, and at the height
Speaker 1: of once the invasion took place, got up to as
Speaker 1: high as a dollar or one hundred and twenty dollars
Speaker 1: a barrel, and so these OPEC countries were making money
Speaker 1: hand over fist, and nobody drills for oil cheaper, cleaner,
Speaker 1: and more energy efficiently than here in the United States.
Speaker 1: And so we can drill for oil and make money
Speaker 1: at fifty sixty dollars a barrel over there. They need
Speaker 1: that price up. As a matter of fact, Saudi Arabia
Speaker 1: wants it up around ninety dollars a barrel, and they
Speaker 1: keep pushing for that. So with this added revenue to Iran,
Speaker 1: And because they're supposed to be sanctions that weren't enforced.
Speaker 1: There were supposed to be sanctions on Russia after they
Speaker 1: invaded Ukraine, those weren't That didn't have any teeth to them.
Speaker 1: So they're making all this money and rather than well,
Speaker 1: let's back up at the beginning of the Biden administration,
Speaker 1: they started making money. And it was in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: two when Russia invaded Ukraine because they had boatloads of money.
Speaker 1: They were making a lot of money from their energy,
Speaker 1: and they said, gee, wiz, what can we do with
Speaker 1: all this money? You know, rather than oh, let's do
Speaker 1: something for our people and make our people's lives miserable
Speaker 1: better because they're living miserable existence. Now, no, no, let's
Speaker 1: go invade a country. Let's go invade our neighbor. Iran
Speaker 1: got all kinds of money, one hundred billion dollars plus
Speaker 1: all those palettes of cash from the Obama administration, and
Speaker 1: then we got left of the restrictions on the cash
Speaker 1: that was being held because of Iran's terrorist threats around
Speaker 1: the around the world. So they were flushed with cash,
Speaker 1: and rather than doing something for their people, they said,
Speaker 1: what can we do with this money? Oh, I see,
Speaker 1: Let's go fund Hesbalah to the north of Israel and
Speaker 1: let them fire rockets into Israel. We can have the
Speaker 1: Houtis in Yemen and we can have them fire rockets
Speaker 1: into Israel, and we can have them clog up the
Speaker 1: shipping channels there to be held hostage. And especially after
Speaker 1: the Palestinians attacked Israel on October seventh, they ramped up
Speaker 1: the attacks on tankers going.
Speaker 7: Through the.
Speaker 1: Yea the Red Sea there, and so any ship that
Speaker 1: had any allegiance or any affiliation with Israel were starting
Speaker 1: to be attacked, and so they were trying to create
Speaker 1: a problem there. And then of course let's fund the
Speaker 1: Hamas terrorists in the southern part of Israel and have
Speaker 1: them fire rockets in. So they got all this money,
Speaker 1: and instead of doing something for the people around terrorism
Speaker 1: around the country, Russia invade another country and yet this
Speaker 1: pipeline continued to go through Ukraine. Now, how crazy is that,
Speaker 1: this pipeline that's pumping this natural gas to the European Union,
Speaker 1: who should have been making sure that Russia never invaded
Speaker 1: Ukraine in the first place and should have put sanctions
Speaker 1: on them, is sending money to Russia which funds their
Speaker 1: military effort. And this pipeline acrosses Ukraine. So Ukraine didn't
Speaker 1: do didn't sabotage the pipeline. They do control the one
Speaker 1: end of it and control the flow, so they do
Speaker 1: get a fee every during the year for the gas
Speaker 1: that flows through there. But how ridiculous is this. You're
Speaker 1: at war with somebody and rather than taking out their
Speaker 1: major asset, which funds the war machine that's killing your people,
Speaker 1: you let it flow and then you get a cut
Speaker 1: of the action. How serious is this over there? And
Speaker 1: then with this, with this ongoing problem over there, they're
Speaker 1: having the cold winter and they're scrambling around now and
Speaker 1: heating oil prices there the folks in the European Union
Speaker 1: are paying fifty percent more than what they were last
Speaker 1: year just to heat their homes, and of course that's
Speaker 1: going to be affecting their businesses, going to be affecting
Speaker 1: their economy, and we're going to be looking at all
Speaker 1: kinds of problems with the European Union, and they are
Speaker 1: not bouncing back as well as they were. In fact,
Speaker 1: there was a story last week that showed that our
Speaker 1: economy appeared to have grown, and of course this is
Speaker 1: preliminary numbers two point eight percent, whereas the European Union
Speaker 1: was around one point two percent. So as bad as
Speaker 1: things are here, they're not as bad as the European Union.
Speaker 1: And the German economy apparently looks like their GDP for
Speaker 1: this year is going to be flat. If that's not
Speaker 1: going to create problems over there in the European Union.
Speaker 1: For the governments that are in place and with the
Speaker 1: people over there struggling and suffering, this is going to
Speaker 1: be a problem over there, and this is going to
Speaker 1: be part of the headlines going into twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see what happens with these governments.
Speaker 1: Recalls or or you know, no confidence votes and getting
Speaker 1: new governments in there. It's gonna all be interesting. Phone
Speaker 1: numbers five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty, five, hundred one,
Speaker 1: eight hundred eighty two three talk one eight hundred eight
Speaker 1: two three eight two five, five pound, five point fifty
Speaker 1: AT and T wireless phone. Ken, You're up next, fifty
Speaker 1: five Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five KR.
Speaker 1: See the talk station. So crossing a palm with eight
Speaker 1: eighteen in the morning, Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas,
Speaker 1: fifty five KR, See the talk station. You know, each
Speaker 1: time of day has its unique characteristics, and right now
Speaker 1: is one of the what I find is very unique characteristics.
Speaker 1: I want to I was looking out the window here
Speaker 1: and the sun when it starts coming up. There is
Speaker 1: a period of time when it just starts coming up
Speaker 1: over the horizon, and it's just any building that's like
Speaker 1: two or three stories high, they start getting the sun first,
Speaker 1: and the ground is still dark, but the upper parts
Speaker 1: of the building are all lit up. It's always a
Speaker 1: cool sight. So I just thought i'd throw that out there.
Speaker 1: Sometimes when I'm out on the deck in the morning
Speaker 1: and I look out and look over to see the
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati and the sun comes up and it's
Speaker 1: just the buildings in Cincinnati that are lit up. The
Speaker 1: area is all kind of in a dusk, but it's
Speaker 1: kind of like this what almost looks like the Shining
Speaker 1: City on the hill. So anyway, let's get to the phones.
Speaker 1: Let's talk to Ken. Ken fifty five, Casee, how are
Speaker 1: you this morning?
Speaker 7: Thanks for calling, doing great and happy New year to
Speaker 7: you and everyone may and you're right on point with
Speaker 7: all those issues. But the main reason why I'm calling
Speaker 7: today is because Congress they will be selecting a leader,
Speaker 7: and Thomas Massey local over in Kentucky, he seems to
Speaker 7: be the lone one that kind of maybe could try
Speaker 7: to upset the Apple card. And I'm just pushing out
Speaker 7: an appeal that I don't think he has another plan.
Speaker 7: They've been through that before with the previous speaker and
Speaker 7: he saw how that just just drug out for days
Speaker 7: on end. And there's no reason for that. Because we
Speaker 7: have a new president, we have a new Congress. So
Speaker 7: hopefully some people in the Thomas Massey's district can maybe
Speaker 7: talk to him and maybe get him to at least.
Speaker 2: You know, not this time.
Speaker 1: This is just yeah, there is a time and a
Speaker 1: place for everything. Ken, that's for sure. Now Thomas Massey
Speaker 1: is my congressman, and so I've been in touch with
Speaker 1: his people and trying to get a gauge from them.
Speaker 1: But you know, I got to say this, and Thomas
Speaker 1: Massey I've considered a friend. In fact, I think I
Speaker 1: was the first one that had him on the program
Speaker 1: and interviewed him, and now Brian has him on a
Speaker 1: regular basis. And yes, he is a voice for freedom,
Speaker 1: he has a voice for constitute utional issues. He is
Speaker 1: a voice for libertarian thought and a very good congressman
Speaker 1: for the fourth District of Kentucky. But where I started
Speaker 1: having problems with him, and I've said this to his people,
Speaker 1: so this is no surprise to him, was back on
Speaker 1: January sixth of twenty twenty one, when he had said
Speaker 1: that he was neutral, He wasn't. He didn't know which
Speaker 1: way he was going to go on the confirmation or
Speaker 1: the certification of the vote. And the day before that
Speaker 1: Sunday before he comes out with this letter saying that
Speaker 1: he is going to not he's going to agree with
Speaker 1: the certification going forward. Yet we had had a conversation
Speaker 1: on that previous Wednesday, talking about that Pennsylvania, their election
Speaker 1: was illegal because it was controlled by the judges and
Speaker 1: not by the citizens the legislature the way it was
Speaker 1: supposed to be. So at least stall things to get
Speaker 1: that sorted out, or at least recognize that for the
Speaker 1: American people. But instead what they did is they just
Speaker 1: ramrotted this thing through. And I refuse to believe that
Speaker 1: our founding fathers would not have set up a situation
Speaker 1: where the checks and balances were I mean, if you're
Speaker 1: going to have an automatic certification, why meet in the
Speaker 1: first place, why not just you know, say okay, here's
Speaker 1: what it is, go boom. But instead there is a
Speaker 1: process where you're supposed to negotiate these things or talk
Speaker 1: about them, or raise objections. Now in this instance, going
Speaker 1: to this just to say that I don't agree with
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson, that he doesn't support him, that he's going
Speaker 1: to vote against him, and all that. That's fine. You
Speaker 1: can dislike the person, but look at what's at stake here.
Speaker 1: You want to get the ball rolling. You want to start,
Speaker 1: you know, start running right from the all the legislation
Speaker 1: that needs to be passed, and to gumb those works
Speaker 1: up with a fight over who's going to be speaker.
Speaker 1: I think is misplaced, right, And from.
Speaker 7: My understanding at one of the problems with it is
Speaker 7: the Continuing Resolutions the CRS, which I fully understand. And
Speaker 7: so he said that since they Mike Johnson went along
Speaker 7: with the left past CR, he was using that as
Speaker 7: an excuse. And my position has been no past you know,
Speaker 7: get Mike Johnson back in and then pass an annual
Speaker 7: budget as they are supposed to do, and Nuke Gingrich
Speaker 7: was the last person I think really and Bill Clinton,
Speaker 7: I think that's the last time an annual budget has
Speaker 7: been passed other than that when John Bayner was there,
Speaker 7: they started doing these continuing resolutions and they never pass
Speaker 7: a budget. So he says that that is the big problem.
Speaker 7: So that problem can be solved if he just gets
Speaker 7: on board, has a.
Speaker 11: Speaker, and they go full full forward with the plan,
Speaker 11: because this is just something that is just going to
Speaker 11: fall right into Haking Jeffrey's hands and into the Democrats,
Speaker 11: and if he wants.
Speaker 7: To do with that, then that's the course that he's on.
Speaker 7: So hopefully common sense will prevail and they'll get their
Speaker 7: differences ironed out and he will vote accordingly and Mike
Speaker 7: Johns will be a speaker.
Speaker 4: I agree.
Speaker 1: And you know, when you're dealing with I mean, what
Speaker 1: when you had because of health issues, because of absences
Speaker 1: that Johnson was dealing with a three seat majority and
Speaker 1: trying to please everybody in the Chamber and weave through
Speaker 1: whatever legislation can be weaved through to make sure people
Speaker 1: on board. Let's face it, there are not a lot
Speaker 1: of I mean not every Republican in the House is
Speaker 1: a conservative, and so you're dealing with some rhinos there.
Speaker 1: And if they're on board and you can get something
Speaker 1: passed and something done, you got to work with the
Speaker 1: people on your team and to just gum up the
Speaker 1: works with so much at stake, I I don't understand it,
Speaker 1: and I I'm you know, that's my opinion. Let's just
Speaker 1: put it that way, you know, and as we know
Speaker 1: I have an opinion, I'm not afraid to use it.
Speaker 1: So I think the gamesmanship is one thing. Standing up
Speaker 1: for your principles is one thing. But you got to
Speaker 1: kind of sometimes say, you know, is is perfect? Is perfect?
Speaker 1: The enemy of bad of good? And where do you
Speaker 1: go with this? So Ken, thanks very much for the

Speaker 1: certainly appreciate it. How are you this morning?
Speaker 12: I'm fin ring, Kevin. I tertally disagree with you and
Speaker 12: Ken Okay Thomas Massey. I wish we had four hundred
Speaker 12: and thirty five of him in there, but we don't.
Speaker 1: That would be nice. I agree with that. I agree
Speaker 1: with that. Then we wouldn't have a problem finding a
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House. But who wants the job? If
Speaker 1: every time you turn around, the people that are on
Speaker 1: your side are the ones going to be taking the
Speaker 1: most shots at you.
Speaker 12: Well, Johnson has proven he's not trustworthy. We wouldn't have
Speaker 12: this problem if he'd done his damn job as Speaker
Speaker 12: of the House. They're supposed to have twelve old budget resolutions.
Speaker 12: Oh no, no, no, Speaker can't be bothered getting through
Speaker 12: and dumpling on the Senate. Then it's the Senate Democrats
Speaker 12: that we shut down the government and Republicans wouldn't have
Speaker 12: their tail between their legs like they normally do. And oh,
Speaker 12: we got to agree with the Democrats, I mean negotiates
Speaker 12: some there for most of these Republicans and including the
Speaker 12: scum by just my current reptor, thank god has gone
Speaker 12: in a day or two Winstrip. He's got a new spine,
Speaker 12: but he only does what the party says. But we
Speaker 12: got Massy up there and actually stands for something. And
Speaker 12: if Johnson had done his job, we wouldn't have had
Speaker 12: the problem. And then he showed his true colors by
Speaker 12: that resolution that which was what fifteen thousand pages or
Speaker 12: whatever it was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 12: So yes, we can't trust him. He's not done his job.
Speaker 12: We need somebody that we can be trusted, and they
Speaker 12: are under McCarthy. They set it up so it had
Speaker 12: to be done right. Well McCarthy didn't. Wasn't as good
Speaker 12: as what he was.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So McCarthy failed the test. McCarthy failed the test.
Speaker 1: Johnson has failed the test. And we saw how many
Speaker 1: times it took to get a speaker selected the last time,
Speaker 1: and it was what five different votes over several days.
Speaker 1: Do we have that kind of time now where we
Speaker 1: want to drag this out for five days because then
Speaker 1: it passes over the time when the certification is supposed
Speaker 1: to be done, of the election, and then backs up
Speaker 1: the legislative process. You can get rid of the speaker
Speaker 1: any time you want, by a voice vote or a
Speaker 1: vote of no confidence, but continue to keep the ball rolling,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, and then deal with this later on.
Speaker 1: You haven't dealt with it to this point. Deal with
Speaker 1: it later. Don't get in the way of the certification,
Speaker 1: don't get in the way of the legislation that should
Speaker 1: take place, and if that legislation is hung up, then
Speaker 1: deal with it. So I have to agree to disagree
Speaker 1: with you, Jim Oh Okay, let's go to Bobby. Bobby
Speaker 1: fifty five Carosee. How are you this morning?
Speaker 13: Brother, I'm doing great and yourself. I appreciate you carrying
Speaker 13: that torture freedom high and bright every day.
Speaker 1: Brother, And I agree with.
Speaker 13: You on the speaker thing right now. Yeah, one thing
Speaker 13: I wanted to talk about is they don't mention things
Speaker 13: that they don't want to talk about. And if you
Speaker 13: look back and it's something that people don't know. But
Speaker 13: on September the twenty seventh, Biden did a reissued of
Speaker 13: the Department of Defense Director of fifty two forty. And
Speaker 13: what that does is it eliminates the Capitol Police and
Speaker 13: your Washington or excuse me, and your DC police to
Speaker 13: control the Capitol building. Now it's under the Secret Service.
Speaker 13: He went ahead and did a Dignitary Protection division and
Speaker 13: that was by my ORCA. They don't want to talk
Speaker 13: about this, but they're prepared of what's going on coming.
Speaker 1: Mundy. This will be interesting. I hope that what I
Speaker 1: assume or what that would almost seem to you or
Speaker 1: seem to a lot of people to be it would be. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting to see how that plays out.
Speaker 1: A lot of times yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 13: No, this was the first time it was ever implemented,
Speaker 13: and it's referred to as a national Special Security event.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which which what it is.
Speaker 13: It circumventced the posse como toass and having military work
Speaker 13: within the borders of our government.
Speaker 1: And the interesting thing with that is is that that
Speaker 1: is not the mission of the Secret Service. The mission
Speaker 1: of the Secret Service is to well, originally was to
Speaker 1: counterbalance the counterfeit and protect the President, which apparently they've
Speaker 1: not done a very good job of. And so if
Speaker 1: they're not doing a very good job of that, why
Speaker 1: put more responsibility on them if they've proven that they
Speaker 1: can't handle what they are supposed to handle right now, So.
Speaker 13: That's true, exactly. So one thing, I got one thing
Speaker 13: about Congress and Massy. I'll let you go. I know
Speaker 13: you're up one time congresson Massy. You have to look
Speaker 13: at it like you have an automobile that's not running
Speaker 13: real good. That doesn't mean you're going to go ahead
Speaker 13: and sell it without something.
Speaker 1: To drive, right, exactly exactly. And as well as I mentioned,
Speaker 1: you know, we've got the certification coming up in three days,
Speaker 1: then you've got the legislator and then you've got the
Speaker 1: inauguration and the legislative slate coming up. There's plenty of
Speaker 1: time to get rid of the you know, you can
Speaker 1: always do the recall, you can always do the vote
Speaker 1: vote of no confidence and get rid of the speakers.
Speaker 1: So this is not the time to do it. Maybe
Speaker 1: the first, you know, maybe hold out for the first vote,
Speaker 1: send a shot across the back. But anyway, we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens. We'll see how long it goes, because it's
Speaker 1: don't be covering it on into the night. Phone numbers five,
Speaker 1: one three, Thank you very much, Bobby, certainly appreciate the
Speaker 1: phone call. Five one, three, seven, four nine fifty eight
Speaker 1: hundred A two three talk one eight hundred eighty two
Speaker 1: three eight two five five pound, five point fifty AT
Speaker 1: and T wireless phone. Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas,
Speaker 1: fifty five krs the talk station. Eight thirty nine in
Speaker 1: the morning. Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five
Speaker 1: KRC the talk station. It is going to be interesting
Speaker 1: to see how the speaker vote goes in the House today,
Speaker 1: to see what happens, how the machinations of all that
Speaker 1: go about. Uh, who is put up for speaker who
Speaker 1: is challenged, and uh, see how that all works out.
Speaker 1: But at this point, unless I've missed a couple of things,
Speaker 1: I don't see right now anybody that says that they're
Speaker 1: going to be challenging Mike Johnson. Now I may be wrong,
Speaker 1: but there's been none of this, you know, where people
Speaker 1: are out there lobbying everybody and doing a little bit
Speaker 1: behind the scenes campaign. So I don't know.
Speaker 9: It.
Speaker 1: You know, if somebody pointed out, you don't trash your
Speaker 1: car unless you have something to replace it. You don't
Speaker 1: quit a job unless you've got something to replace it.
Speaker 1: And I've not seen any hint or any suggestion as
Speaker 1: to who might be the replacement and who is being
Speaker 1: pushed to take over that position. Now, as the one
Speaker 1: caller pointed out, I personally would love to see four
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty Thomas Massey's in the Congress. That would
Speaker 1: be great. Now to a certain extent, that might not
Speaker 1: be one hundred percent great, but there would be an
Speaker 1: awful lot of constitutional bills that were passed, a couple
Speaker 1: of a lot of cost cutting that is done and
Speaker 1: holding people's feet to the fire. Yes, but you don't
Speaker 1: have that. You don't have four hundred and thirty five.
Speaker 1: You have a slim majority of what one because of
Speaker 1: either people being selected for cabinet positions or because of
Speaker 1: illness or people not being able to attend. And so
Speaker 1: with that thin majority, you've got to do some compromises,
Speaker 1: and you've got to do some things that are awfully distasteful.
Speaker 1: And when you're you know, when they talk about the
Speaker 1: phrase of you know, one of the things you don't
Speaker 1: want to watch is legislation being formatted, because it's almost
Speaker 1: like watching sausage being made. A lot of that has
Speaker 1: to do, and there's a lot of truth to that.
Speaker 1: The problem is is that when you only have a
Speaker 1: one seat majority, you've got the other opposition that are
Speaker 1: fighting you tooth and nail on everything and their content
Speaker 1: to sit back and watch you fail. And if that's
Speaker 1: what you want right off the bat, then we're not
Speaker 1: going to get much accomplished in this legislative session completely.
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see how this turns out
Speaker 1: today and what all goes on now. One of the
Speaker 1: things that and one of the things that we're seeing
Speaker 1: is that the Biden administration appears as though, I mean
Speaker 1: not that they haven't all during the four years that
Speaker 1: the administration has been Now, when I say Biden, I'm
Speaker 1: talking about whoever is running the country, because we know
Speaker 1: that it's not Biden. We know it is probably a
Speaker 1: group of advisors, or maybe one top advisor, a puppet
Speaker 1: of somebody else that is pulling the strings. But we're
Speaker 1: seeing it seems a sabotage of the incoming administration. I
Speaker 1: remember back when Clinton left office and George W. Bush
Speaker 1: came into office and the al Gore election with the
Speaker 1: chads and the litigation that was done to try to
Speaker 1: garner votes or to find more votes in order to
Speaker 1: get al Gore elected. Well, I mean that was okay.
Speaker 1: I mean apparently as far as the Democrats were concerned.
Speaker 1: That was okay back then, because it was the Democrats
Speaker 1: that were searching for more votes and making phone calls
Speaker 1: and saying, find me votes here, find me votes there.
Speaker 1: But when a Republican does that in Georgia in twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: suddenly that's wrong and impeachable. So we had the contentious
Speaker 1: twenty twenty election, or a two thousand election when George W.
Speaker 1: Bush was elected, and so you wind up with in
Speaker 1: two thousand and one, the Congress that came in to office,
Speaker 1: and you had some contentious things going on at that point,
Speaker 1: and so that delayed some of the legislation that was
Speaker 1: going on, which I think, in my opinion, kind of
Speaker 1: led a little bit to nine to eleven because not
Speaker 1: all the security people were in place and confirmed to
Speaker 1: get the ball rolling. Plus there was some sabotage going on.
Speaker 1: You remember that in the offices that every one of
Speaker 1: the keyboards, the W was pried off so that when
Speaker 1: they go in to use their keyboards, they couldn't use
Speaker 1: the computers because the W had been removed. Now I
Speaker 1: don't know if they could get around it or if
Speaker 1: they had to order new keyboards, but there was definite sabotage,
Speaker 1: certain equipment that was broken, certain equipment that was destroyed,
Speaker 1: simply because of the incoming administration. Biden is doing the
Speaker 1: same thing with making sure that he tries to sell
Speaker 1: off part of the border wall. He is doing certain
Speaker 1: things in terms of executive orders as far as commuting
Speaker 1: the death sentences or of these death row inmates because
Speaker 1: the incoming administration, I want to prevent them from murdering people.
Speaker 1: Oh really great. And now we see Biden is expected
Speaker 1: to permanently ban some offshore drilling. We'll have that coming up.
Speaker 1: I'm Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five K

Speaker 3: five KR s the talk station.
Speaker 1: In the morning, Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas fifty
Speaker 1: five KRC the talk station, talking about in the previous
Speaker 1: segment Biden trying to sabotage the incoming presidency selling off
Speaker 1: parts of the border wall. We've already had the problem
Speaker 1: that he has sabotaged this country with the invasion at
Speaker 1: the southern border and the northern border, as we come
Speaker 1: to find out with a flow of fentanyl coming into
Speaker 1: this country. We've seen some of the sabotage that has
Speaker 1: been done as far as some of the oil industry.
Speaker 1: Keystone XL pipeline comes to mind. Now as he's going
Speaker 1: out the door, President President Yeah, Joe Biden is preparing
Speaker 1: to issue a decree permanently banning new offshore oil and
Speaker 1: gas development in some US coastal waters, locking in difficult
Speaker 1: to revoke protections for sensitive marine areas during the final
Speaker 1: weeks of the White House. Now, this man is incompetent,
Speaker 1: this man is not all there. So any executive order
Speaker 1: I think ought to be ignored. Biden has set within
Speaker 1: days to issue these exemptions. Now they're saying that, okay,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump can go ahead and revoke those, but unfortunately,
Speaker 1: unlike other executive actions, they can easily be undone. Biden's
Speaker 1: plan decoration is rooted in a seventy two year old
Speaker 1: law that gives the White House wide discretion to permanently
Speaker 1: protect US waters from oil and gas leasing without explicitly
Speaker 1: empowering presidents to revote those designations. Oh, maybe the law
Speaker 1: needs to be changed and we can do away with
Speaker 1: that that way. Oh, I was going to take a
Speaker 1: phone call, but I guess she dropped off. So continuing
Speaker 1: on with this, Let's see. They did say, and they
Speaker 1: did point out that during his first administration there were
Speaker 1: a couple of things that he tried to revoke. As
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, Trump is expected to order a
Speaker 1: reversal protection, but it's not clear he'll be successful. During
Speaker 1: his first term in office, Trump sought to revoke former
Speaker 1: President Barack Obama's order to protect more than one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty five million acres in the Arctic and Atlantic oceans,
Speaker 1: which was rejected by a federal district court in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: Seems like me, it seems like time to bring that
Speaker 1: back up and get it to the Supreme Court. Supporters
Speaker 1: for the nineteen fifty three Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act,
Speaker 1: which governs out offshore oil and gas development. Note that
Speaker 1: Congress gave presidents wide discretion. Again, Congress abdicating their authority
Speaker 1: to the executive branch when they should have maintained this
Speaker 1: on their own. And possibly this should have been legislation
Speaker 1: that had to come about in order to set aside
Speaker 1: these lands instead of giving the broad brush or the
Speaker 1: broad scope to the president or the executive branch. However,
Speaker 1: if this is a nineteen fifty three Outer Continental Shelf
Speaker 1: Lands Act, repeal it. Hopefully we can do that. Let's
Speaker 1: see if we can squeeze in a call before we
Speaker 1: get out of here. Let's talk to Rick, Rick fifty
Speaker 1: five cars, how are you this morning?
Speaker 5: Good morning.
Speaker 14: One thing I just wanted to bring up, and I
Speaker 14: hope people in Congress pressured Donald Trump to order the
Speaker 14: FBI to find about thirty five thousand Chinese soldiers that
Speaker 14: walked across the border. I remember they their stories came
Speaker 14: out when it happened that these large groups of men
Speaker 14: military age men from China just showed up at the
Speaker 14: thing asking for asylum. They traced them and they were
Speaker 14: had charter flights direct from China to Mexico City. They
Speaker 14: chartered buses to the border, and all of them looked
Speaker 14: the same, and none of them spoke any English except
Speaker 14: to say the same thing. It's to me, it's like
Speaker 14: there's a Chinese invasion force here running around on an
Speaker 14: assassination squad. Then the FBI should go find those people
Speaker 14: and root them out and send them back first.
Speaker 1: That would be nice, That would be nice to track
Speaker 1: them down and try to And Tom Homan has said
Speaker 1: that he is going to start with the people the
Speaker 1: criminal element, and I would say that that's a criminal element.
Speaker 1: You don't leave China by yourself. You don't leave China
Speaker 1: on your own volition. You have to be allowed to leave.
Speaker 1: You have to be permitted to leave. And so if
Speaker 1: these people are permitted to being to leave, maybe without
Speaker 1: a doubt they were sent here and especially being military age.
Speaker 1: So yes, you bring up a great point, and this
Speaker 1: is part of the sabotage of this country that in
Speaker 1: the coming years, when we start seeing acts of terrorism
Speaker 1: that are going to happen on this on the on
Speaker 1: the in the continent, on the in the United States,
Speaker 1: we're going only have one administration to blame for that,
Speaker 1: and this Biden administration. It is going to go down
Speaker 1: in history as the absolute worst and even treason us
Speaker 1: in my opinion.
Speaker 14: I don't understand the guy about the hearing about the drones.
Speaker 14: The guy said China, said him. The head of the
Speaker 14: Intelligence Committee of the House. He had a press conference
Speaker 14: and he said that was they were from China, and
Speaker 14: then everyone shut up about it.
Speaker 10: I heard that on the radio.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely, it seems that this kind of scary
Speaker 1: thing in it.
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, well you got recon whatever they're doing in
Speaker 14: the air, well, Ricky.
Speaker 1: We're warned a couple of years ago at Christmas time
Speaker 1: that some of these smart TVs to be aware of
Speaker 1: where they're coming from, because they can actually be used
Speaker 1: to spy on us. Through the smart TVs. There was
Speaker 1: that big flat going on during that period of time.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's no surprise that when you are driving
Speaker 1: in your car and you talk to your wife and
Speaker 1: you say, honey, what do you want to do for
Speaker 1: dinner tonight? And then all of a sudden this stuff
Speaker 1: starts popping up on your form phone. Hey how about
Speaker 1: you know, Hey, we've got this special today. Come here.

Speaker 1: something along those lines. I mean, the listening devices are
