55KRC Friday Show - Tech Friday, Jim Neil, David Junk

Episode Transcript

(00:07):
Five o five at fifty five DRC, the talk station Happy Friday. Well,
there is a vacation, there isgotta be Friday. Joe confirmed it

(00:32):
with the Blue hoop. Uh andI a happy one to get brand TI.
I'm right here looking forward to techFriday with Dave Hatter. Every Friday
at six point thirty we get tohear from Dave and get freaked out over
the reality is going on in thecomputer world. Today we'll talk about a
watchdog watchdog group that broke into theUS federal agency and nobody noticed. Uh
huh, it is unhealthy to alwaysbe on your phone. Topic number two

(00:54):
and AI boyfriends are gaining in popularity. AI boyfriends? How does that work?
I guess we'll find out from Daveas I'm looking all over the landscape
of articles and news items and thingsthat I could dive on into artificial intelligence

(01:18):
boyfriends. And here's an article kidsquestion mark. A growing number of Americans
say no thanks, So our youngpeople don't want to have any children of
their own. And how could youhave a child if you're a woman with
an artificial intelligence boyfriend? Sheriff JimNeil or Well, maybe that's a little
over zealous, my hoping for anoutcome in November that hasn't happened yet.

(01:41):
Jim Neil for shaff former Sheriff Neiljoins the program at seven oh five.
Jim's a good man, an excellentman, and I sure hope he is
the sheriff of Hamilton County after November'selection. And then at eight oh five
here in the morning show, we'rehere from David Junk. He's got a
book Rock in the Kremlin. Sothat one taking place at eight oh five,

(02:05):
and you can feel free to callif you get a comment. Five
one three seven eight two three talk. Let's see here. I'm not quite
sure where to start broll. Whydon't just go ahead and take a look
at the polls real quick before Iget to and uh looking into what is
with the power and the pro hamas, the pro terrorist protest outside. Now

(02:28):
who's speech the other day burning theAmerican flag? F capitalism, M F
America. I thought this was aboutIsrael. I thought this was about Palestine.

(02:49):
I guess it's not. I guessit's more about capitalism and America generally
speaking. That's a problem, folks, most notably when you consider the FBI
director has already warned us about someacts of terrorism. Any people think there's
going to be like an October surpriseas we head on him into the November
election. You ever heard of anOctober surprise? Yeah, it happens all
the time. Might it be somethingalong the lines of a terrorist action in

(03:10):
fact, bake that into the cake. Let's look at the polls. Why
not? Emerson College poll just released. Well, she got a little bit
of a bump anyway. In theswing states, Trump still leads Harris in
Arizona forty nine forty four. That'sactually the widest margin of lead right now.

(03:32):
Georgia forty eight forty six. Trump'sahead of Michigan forty six forty five,
within the margin of era. Imight point out, he's head in
Pennsylvania forty eight forty six, andthey are tied in Wisconsin. All five
swing swing states have a decided asizeable rather number of undecided voters, not

(03:52):
double digits though, Arizona seven percent. That's the largest. Well, Pennsylvania,
Arizona seven percent, Michigan nine percentundecided, Georgia's seven in Wisconsin five
percent undecided. And I honestly maybeit's because I pay attention to politics so
so much. How could you beundecided? Your choices have been made for
you, Democrats, most notably you. You didn't get a say in the
matter. It's Kamala Harris sucks tobe you. Maybe not, at least

(04:15):
on the Republican side, right orwrong. The Republicans decided in their primaries
who they wanted to be their candidate. That notwithstanding, you only have two
to choose from. And I knowRobert F. Kennedy Junior and the Green
candidate are all floating around back therein the background, but they're not viable
candidates. So in the final analysis, how could you be undecided this late
stage of the game, unless,of course you're just not familiar with politics

(04:38):
generally speaking, Kamala Harris's background specificallyspeaking. But anyhow, there they are
undecided. As many as nine percentyoung voters. According to the pollster Spencer
Kimball, the executive director of EmersonCollege Polling, young voters have shifted toward
Harris. Her support compared to Bidenincreased by sixteen points in Arizona, eight

(04:59):
and George five in Michigan, elevenin Pennsylvania, and one in Wisconsin.
So really, for young people.It's about age. I would argue,
maybe they're not paying attention to politics. Sadly though, in the Senate races,
this Emerson College poll reflects that Democratsare ahead in some pretty key elections.
Arizona the Democrat leads the Republican fortysix forty two, Michigan forty five

(05:26):
forty one, Pennsylvania forty eight toforty four, and in Wisconsin you got
Tammy Baldwin leading Republican Eric Hoved fortynine forty three. So some positive built
in there and some pretty substantial negatives. We hope to take the Senate back,
We're going to do something about thoseraces. Let us see here,

(05:46):
moving over, we have a nationwidepolling average that's been maintained by the Hill
Online, left leaning website along withDecision Desk HQDDHQ, so they've been tracking
this for a while. Numbers inpoles from both before and after Biden exited
the race, so they look atArizona and it's actually comparable numbers. Harris

(06:09):
leads Trump leads Harris by seven pointtwo percent in Arizona swing state. This
one shows Trump leading Harris by fourpoint six in Georgia, comparable to the
other pole two point two ahead ofHarris in Michigan. That's within the margin
of era. Trump leads Harris bymore than eight points in Nevada, but

(06:29):
again no significant polling coming from Nevadasince Kamala Harris was anointed. Pennsylvania,
Trump has an edge of four pointsover Harris, and finally, in Wisconsin,
well the tightest battleground at present,This separate hill DDHQ average has Trump
leading Harris by two points, essentiallythe same as his margin over Biden,

(06:53):
so not a whole lot of movementthere compared to Biden. In some particular
cases, Harris has exceeded Biden's number, so age may have been a fact
her in there. Take the ageout of the issue, and there you
have it, policies with a differentperson leading the charge for those policies.
In terms of qualification, we havea UGOV poll. Why not it's Friday

(07:14):
economists you GOV poll Do you thinkKamala Harris is qualified to be president?
Thirty nine percent of independence said yes, thirty seven said no, twenty four
percent don't know. Going back tomy comments earlier about how can you really
not know unless you haven't been payingattention to politics. It's maybe the fundamental

(07:35):
problem in America. Only eighty fourpercent of registered Democrats said Harris was qualified.
Did I read that correctly? Ninepercent said she was not qualified,
seven percent of Democrats not sure she'squalified. Among all respondents across the board,

(07:55):
Democrats, Republicans, Independence, everybodyforty seven percent to forty seven percent
on the qualification question, which iskind of funny half and half. So
you'd think that someone who's been chosenby the Democrats to be the nominee would
be pulling a little bit higher onjust the simple question of qualification. And

(08:16):
finally, this one is a throwaway, I believe you gov Times of London
poll conducted July twenty second to twentythird after Biden's announcement that he was leaving
and the annointment of Kamala Harris.When asked to what extent, if it
all, was Harris involved in coveringup Biden's health that question based on an
assumption that his health is poor,which we all know it is anyway,

(08:39):
sixty eight percent said a great deal, seventeen percent somewhat so, coming in
at ninety two percent thinking Kamala Harriswas complicit on some level with covering up
Joe Biden's deteriorating health. Not agood point to start off on a question
of trust, isn't it. That'sa question of trust, and there's not

(09:03):
a whole lot of trust floating aroundthe world these days, is there?
So probably a very important qualification forpresident. And going back to the question
is is she even qualified? Iguess on the issue of trust. Maybe
that's where she fails. Hey,how five one three seven, four eight
two three talk with Pound five fiftyon AT and t phony. In other
related news, we struggle and dealwith the political dysfunction in our world.

(09:26):
And I mentioned yesterday getting on themorning show, Norad had to scramble fighter
jets because two Chinese H six bombersand two Russian TU ninety five strategic bombers
detected in a coordinated effort off Alaska'scoast right international waters, but they were
heading toward our airspace, which requiredus to scramble our jets. Freaking me

(09:48):
out because this is I think reportedto be the first time the Chinese and
the Russians have gotten together in acoordinated effort, presumably to test our defenses
and to see how we respond whenthe Chinese and the Russians get together with
bombers flying toward our airspace. Andthen yesterday, later in the day,
I found out that warships from Russia'sBaltic Fleet are going to be visiting Havana

(10:11):
for a few days. Hmmm,got a training ship, a patrol frigate
and a refueling tanker. Doesn't soundlike a real huge military presence. But
if the Chinese and Russians are workingon one side of the country, and
you've got on the other side ofthe country slightly south the Russians and the

(10:33):
Cubans, one can eat least question. And I hope that our military leaders
are looking into this a little bit, because you know, is this some
sort of coordinated effort. Are theypreparing for something down the road while we
are in this very concerning state ofweakness and political instability. It's a frightening,

(10:58):
frightening thing. Sixteen But you fivekrc DE Talk Station, Chimneycare,
Fireplace and Stove get in touch withChimneycare, Fireplace and Stove has been mentioning
summertime is an awesome time to takecare of your safety and Chimneycare, Fireplace
and stove can certainly do that.They have experts who will inspect your chimney,
your fireplace flu They can inspect yourgas, your gas fireplace unit,

(11:20):

Strucker's got one of those, reallygreat to heat your home inexpensively in

(11:41):
the wintertime. Tabit serviced and cleanedout right now. In terms of maybe
wanting to get one of those installed, it's also an excellent time to take
care of that. Hey, youbeen thinking about a free standing stove,
Get one now, have it installed. You're ready to hit the ground running
this fall. For all things.It's the show room, I'll tell you
they got a huge selection right thereat four thirteen Wards Corner Road, just
goes south Onwards Corner off two seventyfive. You'll see it on the left

Chimneycareco dot Com five one three twofour eight ninety six hundred two four eight
ninety six hundred fifty five KRC.Thanks Joe, it started already, huh,
jeez, Louise five twenty one,Happy Friday. It was rather nauseating,

(12:56):
Joe. I'm really it isn't.Kind of like my initial gut reaction
was just sort of bile in theback of my throat. At least we
pronounce their name right now. Iwrote Genie out of the bottle on this
one. I think stick a forkin it. We're done rather interesting,

(13:20):
and I gotta give Reuter's props fordoing this. This is it's absolutely mind
boggling. Well it's not mind boggling, it's just absolutely frightening reuters went out
into the world and by all accounts, I read the whole article and it's
a really lengthy, in depth analysisof how they were able to do this.

(13:41):
But in the final analysis, itwas very easy. Thirty six hundred
dollars in a web browser, resultingin them getting enough precursor materials to make
literally make three million dollars worth offentanyl. Most of the same chemicals used

(14:01):
to make fentanyl are crucial to legitimateindustries, they say, perfumes, pharmaceuticals,
rubber dyes, so the stuff thatthey're making fentanyl out of has legitimate,
non criminal applications out in the world. And they pointed out that tight
restrictions on these precursor materials would upend global commerce. And because fentanyl potency
even small quantities, as you know, the precursors can produce vast numbers of

(14:24):
tiny pills. And they even boughta pill machine online that makes what look
like pharmaceutical pills, except they wouldbe made out of fentanyl. They bought
twelve chemicals that could be used tomake fentanyl. Most of the goods arrived
as seamlessly as any other mail orderpackages. They even got assistance from the
Chinese, as it's the Chinese thatare selling these precursors, assistance on how

(14:48):
to make fentanyl from some of thefolks online who were selling the precursor materials.
Team produced secondary ingredients used to processthe essential precursors, as well as
base seek equipment, giving them everythingthey needed to produce it. Now.
They were quick to point out multipletimes in the article, I think because
their lawyers told them to that theydid not make the fentanyl. But they

(15:09):
did interview people who made it,and they saw an online article on how
to bake it, and they say, you only need a basic grasp of
chemistry to turn these precursor materials,which you can get via mail order in
dark web, and you don't evenneed dark web in many cases. They
had interviewed one twelve year old dropoutwho is a cook of fentanyl. He
called it. He said, quoteit's mega easy making that drug. Close

(15:31):
quote twelve year old dropout can makefentanyl. Guess what, so can you.
The United States is the biggest consumer, Mexico is the biggest manufacturer.
China well is the manufacturer of theraw material. So from China to Mexico
to the United States with a merestop at the Mexican drug cartels operations where

(15:52):
the twelve year old educated kid willmake it and then ship it over the
border, or as the case maybe, if you're Reuters, you just
buy the stuff in the United Statesand have it shipped either to Mexico or
directly to the United States, andthen you have everything at your disposal to
make it, including the pill machine. It just was eye opening, and

(16:15):
China is not interested in stopping theflow of these drugs at all. Of
course, Mexico is taking a handsoff approach. They are run by the
drug cartels who make billions of dollarsmanufacturing these in these tiny fentanyl labs.
So if you get an opportunity,I'll just let you go out into the
world. It's easy to find thearticle. Just search Reuters the headline we

(16:37):
bought everything needed to make three milliondollars worth of fentanyl. All it took
was thirty six hundred dollars in aweb browser. Can you unring that bell?
The Chinese are actively engaged in floodingthe United States market with fentanyl,
whether it goes through Mexico or whetheryou want to make it in your own
basement and you and the mail systemwill deliver it to you. They all

(17:03):
kinds of workarounds that they talked aboutin this article about how the fennyl shows
up. Sometimes it doesn't. Imean it's in a box labeled parts of
something, or it's it's mislabeled,or even in cases they went through,
it was properly labeled. Again,because a lot of these precursors are not
illegal in and of themselves, theyhaven't been converted into an illegal product.
So it's right there the label theprecursor, and my name is on the

(17:25):
box you get when it's delivered bythe US mail or, as the case
may be, when it's delivered toMexico if it can't be shipped directly to
the United States because of laws onthe books. So I don't know how
you stop that from happening. Ireally don't. How about just don't take
the drugs. How about let's turnthe US into the least likely market for
drugs? I know, right?Pipe Dream five twenty five five Krcity Talk

Tom, Thanks for i'll call thismorning. Welcome to the show. Hey,
good morning. How you been.I've been fine, man, fine,
fine. Other than all the problemsin the way to the world on
my shoulders, which I feel likeI gotta carry, I had to.
I had to call in this morningwith all the recent events. Uh,

(20:22):
other other than the attempt at assassination, not really much as things and that's
a big deal, by the way, I'm not brushing aside. But other
than that, it's not really beenanything too drastically crazy that out of the
Ornian. I am a slightly surprisedthey're going with Kamala because of how terrible
of the candidating. If they're reallythat's the best you guys can do.

(20:44):
But if they didn't go with Kamala, the backlash would likely be more than
they can deal with passing over youknow, a black email because they're all
about identity, politician and a lotof stuff. So but you know you
guys, you know Joe and andregular listeners. Though I don't go around
saying, don't vote Biden, don'tvote Harris, don't vote shared brown old

(21:04):
vote to shared old vote. Havehave. I I make a blanket statement
because it really doesn't matter who ison the ballot next to the letter D.
They're all the same. It's gonnabe bad for the country, bad
for your city or save or county. They're gonna and they're gonna try to
push policies that are gonna take moreof your money, take more of your

(21:25):
freedoms. It really if irrelevant towho they put in there as the presidential
candidate. It really doesn't matter.They could they could take the most finely
polished person and best speaking whatever.It doesn't the politician, but it doesn't
matter, or somebody that even lookslike they're down home whatever, it doesn't
matter. If they got to benext to their names, it's trouble,
it's problems and the and there's alot of evidence around we all we've all

(21:49):
seen it. We look at ourpaychecks, we look at the grocery stores.
But one of the biggest things thatwe could see around is and they're
signed everywhere. That show is this, and we all drive by them every
day. And that's those big signsout in front of the gas stations.
And they got they got numbers onthem. But but they the numbers say
the same thing that I always say. Yesterday, I actually saw one and

(22:10):
I'm talking to Joe, and wethink it might have been a mistake,
but once said four twenty five.I don't know. We're getting ready a
big height over in Tolerain in myneighborhood. And I looked on gas Buddy
and I didn't see the change onit, but I saw it with my
own eyes about eight o'clock last night, So like, what the hell's going
on here? I no way isthis jumping over four dollars is just nut.
So all these signs in front ofthese gas stations people, they all

(22:33):
say the same thing. They allsay, don't vote Democrats. That's a
great weekend, great hearing from you, Tom. It's been too long.
I hope that the regular calls returnedto get a kick out of it real
kick in sort of a local story. H I A Supreme Court ruled yesterday
that consumers should not expect boneless wingsto be free of bones. I have
a Supreme Court four to three decisionafter a guest of a restaurant f out

(22:57):
of legal action suffering after suffer seriousmedical complication because a bone from a boneless
wing got stuck in his throat.Michael Berkheimer, having dinner with his wife
and friends at a wing joint Hamilton, Ohio, ordered his usual boneless wings
with parmesan garlic sauce, felled abite sized piece of meat go down the
wrong way. Three days later,he was feverish, unable to keep his

(23:18):
food down, so he went inan emergency room. Doctor discovered a long,
thin bone that had torn his esophagusand caused an infection. He sued
the restaurant in place, called Wingson Brookwood, claiming they failed to warn
him that boneless wings could in factcontain bones. His lawsuit named the wing
supplier as well as the farm thatproduced the chicken according to and accused them

(23:41):
of being negligent. Yesterday's decision fromthe Supreme Court said that boneless wings refers
to a cooking style, and thisguy should have been on guard against bones,
since it is common knowledge that chickens, generally speaking have bones. Lower
courts had also dismissed Berkheimer's suit.This one, of course, firms that
dismissal. Justice Joseph Dieters, writingfor the majority, quote, A diner

(24:04):
reading quote boneless wings close quote ona menu would no more believe that the
restaurant was warranting the absence of bonesin the items than believe the items were
made from chicken wings, just asa person eating chicken fingers would know that
he had not been served fingers.Hmm. According to descent quote, the

(24:29):
question must be asked, does anyonereally believe that the parents in this country
who feed their young children boneless wings, or chicken tenders, or chicken nuggets
or chicken fingers expect bones to bein the chicken. Of course they don't.
When they read the word boneless,they think that means without bones,
as do all sensible people. Closequote Justice Michael Donnelly. For whatever reason,

(24:55):
I seem to think, I feelthe more the way Judge Donnelly does.
Then, of course, judge eaters. But now five thirty six fifty

an airline crew member on board aMelbourne bound flight, forcing the plane to
turn around thirty wild doing that onboard a Perth to Melbourne flight, Camra

(31:17):
cru said began removing his clothes andthen assaulted a crew member. Airline staff
noted the Australia notified the Australian FederalPolice and the plane returned to Perth Domestic
Airport where the officers were waiting toboard the plane. They removed the man
from the flight and he was arrestedand taken for a mental health assessment.
Charged vs summons with one kind ofassaulting a crew member and one kind of
offensive disorderly behavior on an aircraft.The assault defense carries a maximum offense of

(31:41):
ten years in jail. Perth AirportPolice Commander Peter Hatch said he had zero
tolerance for disruptive or criminal behavior onboard airplanes. Quote the safety and well
being of all travelers and workers hisparamount, particularly when people are confined during
a flight, they expect to feelsafe and not be subject to do aggressive
or violent behavior. Stating the obvioushe did there's a weird one on one

(32:06):
accused the stripping naked and running intotraffic in an effort to traffic in an
effort to conceal her involvement in theshooting death of a guy, who was
sentenced the thirty five years in prisonafter she pleaded guilty. Twenty two year
old Tyree O. Robinson of Harvey, charged with second degree murder in the
death of US Navy veteran Anthony Fefetwenty seven years old. Robinson agreed to
plead guilty to a lesser charge ofmanslaughter, obstruction of justice, and possession

(32:30):
of cocaine. Court to the JeffersonParish records, deputies discovered Fife dead of
a gunshot wounded the head when theyresponded to a single vehicle crash on Manhattan
Boulevard a March rather of twenty oneCourt of witnesses, Fife swerved and hit
a brick fence alongside of the roadbefore crashing into a tree in the median

(32:51):
on that street. No one elseinside the vehicle by the time the deputy
showed up, but witnesses told authoritiesthey saw a woman with blood splotted on
the left side of her body gettingout one of the passenger side. The
woman, later identified as Robinson,told passers by the driver passed out,
then she fled into a nearby apartmentcomplex, discarding items, including her cell
phone. She asked a resident thereif she could take a shower at his

(33:15):
place, promising to pay him athousand dollars. The drive to New Orleans,
man noticed blood on Robinson offered todial nine to one one, but
she took the phone out of hishand, disconnected the call. Made her
way to a nearby neighborhood, whereother witnesses reported seeing her going into open
garages. By the time she wasspotted near the intersection of Lapalalco Boulevard and
Bulcan Street, more than a milefrom the crash site, she was completely

(33:37):
naked. She ran up a placecalled Lapalco Bridge and flagged a car down.
The driver's told deputies she stopped becauseshe thought Robinson had have been the
victim of domestic violence. She askedthe driver to take her to New Orleans
Again. Motorists noticed the flashing lightsand sirens from several patrol vehicles. Despite

(33:57):
her pleas not to pull over,the driver nonetheless stopped, and that's where
Robinson was taken into custody. Shedenied fleeing or being in the fife vehicle.
She told detectors she was kidnapped froma relative's home in Uptown, New
Orleans the night before the shooting.Her clothing ripped off by a man who'd
been chasing her as what she claimed, but the tectives found Robinson's fingerprints in

(34:20):
Fife's vehicle and she'd been identified bywitnesses. They never released a motive for
the killing, but said that Fieffeeand Robinson were acquaintances who exchanged text messages
on the night before the shooting.Robinson arrested eventually and died of a second
degree murder charge. If convicted,she would have faced a mandatory sentence of
life in prison, maximum penalty frommanslaughter forty years. She ended up getting

(34:43):
sentenced by Judge Ellen Shearer Kovak tothirty five years in prison plus twenty years
in prison for obstruction, two yearsfor cocaine possession, presumably to be served
concurrently. It's kind of wait that, uh, let us see your ninety

(35:04):
year old pensioner. This is fromBritain. Keith Tyson decided he would indulge
his love for sculpture by turning thehedge in front of his home into a
naked woman. He named her Gloria. That well, you could call it
a bush if you want, Joephrasing divorce father for said people stop and
take photos of the five foot tallreclining figure. When they pass his house,

(35:27):
and despite drunk people climbing on herfor a grope phrasing, He's even
caught people pretending to have sex withthe shrubbery. He said, I'm ninety
now, but still fairly physically.Okay, so I'll keep her going.
She isn't going anywhere, She'll staysat there on my wall. The shape

(35:50):
isn't easy to do, so whenI get my compliments, it's very pleasant
to hear people do smile when theysee Gloria, and I like that he
named her. Gloria. Said hehad planned on a naked lady shrub when
he started manipulating the hedge into aslightly larger than life lady, apparently applying
his time as an art student toformulate or form the shrubbery. She developed

(36:15):
slowly over two to three years.It's just a creative thing that I enjoy
messing about with. Okay. Theyhave a photograph of the ninety year old
next to the hedge, well,almost naked guy Joe almost in this particular
case, almost naked woman. Butsince the article did have the word naked

(36:37):
in it, and it is stupid, it made the cut stick around.
Tech Fard mc Davehatter at six pointthirty. We do that, and I'll
love hearing from you. If youhave a comment or a subject matter you'd
like to talk about, feel freeto call. I'll be back after the
news history stras it happens. Ifyou want to make America great again,
Trump and it's away. At thetop of the hour, fifty five krs

(36:58):
the talk station sour watchdog group groupbroke into US federal agency. Apparently nobody
noticed that. One also talking aboutwhy it's unhealthy to be on your phone
all the time. Finally, artificialintelligence boyfriends gaining in popularity. That one's
got me puzzled. Well, that'swhy we have Tech Friday's Dave Hatter anyhow,
And one hour Jim Neil, weneed to vote for him for sheriff.

(37:21):
Great guy, a solid guy,knows the job and of course tough
on law. He's a big supporterof law enforcement. Not woke Jim Neil.
So Jim Neil returns to the programat seven oh five talk about how
the campaign for sheriff in Hamilton Countyis going. And then at eight oh
five A David junk is his namethe book Rock and the Kremlin says here

(37:43):
in the Soviet Union collapse in ninetyone, Russia opened its borders and Russian
audiences. We're hungry for Western popularmusic and the values that expouse. David
Junk one of the first idealistic youngAmericans to seize the opportunity, first CEO
of Universal Music Russia. This shouldbe an interesting conversation that'll take place at
day to five. Always an interestingconversation talking with you. You'll feel free

(38:05):
to call five one, three,seven, four, nine, fifty five
hundred, eight hundred and eighty twoto three talker with Pound five fifty on
AT and T phones. And rememberwhen you can't listen to lin on fifty
five care sea dot COM's right thereto hear my conversation with Alex Treantefilo yesterday
about the coronation of Kamala Harris andwhat we need to do in order to
sort of move forward thoughtfully with strategyto get to November successfully. I heard

(38:27):
me The aviation expert Jay Ratlif joinedthe program yesterday as well, and Americans
for Prosperity about Bernie Moreno. Allthe podcasts at the fivecare sea dot com
are also encouraging you to get acopy of your iHeartMedia app Second Amendment guy.
I am and also an anti administrativestraight state guy. And you talk
about threats of democracy that comes fromthe administrative state. Now, Thankfully,
in spite of the fact that Democratsbelieve the Supreme Court is a problem,

(38:50):
the Supreme Court has made a lotof or has issued a lot of opinions
honing back the expansive nature of theregulatory administration administrative state. Remember, the
problem lies with our Congress passing looselyworded laws dealing with certain subject matters,
and then they pass it along tothe behind the scenes regulators who turn out
regulations arbitrarily, randomly, and farbeyond the scope of the laws that are

(39:16):
passed. This is how you endup with this far reaching federal government.
They just interpret things as broadly asthey want and then next thing you know,
you're in the crosshairs of some massiveregulatory problems or cost adding measures,
or in the case of firearms,you got the Bureau Alcohol TOBAC on firearms
at every turn, seeking to takeaway your Second Amendment rights to keeping bare

(39:39):
arms. Now, can the Bureauof ALCOHL to back on firearms regulate firearms
to a certain degree. Sure theyhave for a long time, but in
order to do that, they haveto have specific guidance from Congress. Right,
Okay, Well, just the otherday US District Judge Read O'Connor in
Fort Worth, Texas issed an opinionsaying that the ATF exceeded its authority by

(40:04):
classifying forced reset triggers as machine guns. All right, machine guns under federal
law. You're not allowed to ownthem without an FFL license, is tax
stamp and all that. You gotto go through a process in order to
acquire and own a fully automatic weapon. I think all my listeners know that
as opposed to a semi automatic weapon. Well, what's the difference. You
pull the trigger back on a fullyautomatic weapon, it fires and continues to

(40:28):
fire until you release the trigger.A semi automatic requires you pulling the trigger
one time for each round that isfired. These force reset triggers reset the
internal mechanism which allows you to holdback the trigger. And yet it does
push the trigger back out, resettingit. But it acts like a fully

(40:49):
automatic weapon. Some of my listenersprobably even own one of those things.
Oh maybe not. Anyway, theysaid the Bureau of Alcohol to back on
Fireum, said that the trigger wasa machine gun. Now you go work
through that contorted logic, but thejudge said, noe. Quote. Each
time an agency circumvents the legislative process, it chips away from It tips away

(41:14):
at the most prudent reason for theseparation of powers, ensuring unelected and unaccountable
individuals do not make the law.Amen judge, he headed the country's foundational
documents, granted lawmaking authority two dulyelected officials in order to safeguard against future
tyranny. Quote. While this casemay seem focused on firearms, it represents

(41:37):
so much more. It is emblematicof a devastating problem that increasingly rears its
head in federal courts, rampant evasionof the democratic process. I love this
opinion. Texas Gun Rights brought thecase National Association for Gun Rights. Initial
complaint challenged the ATF's classification of forcedreset triggers as machine guns, on the

(42:04):
premise that the ban was arbitrary andcapricious and violated constitutional rights. Amen ATF
argued in its brief that outlawing thedevices was needed to protect public safety.
Well, then you let Congress outlawthe devices. You don't extrapolate that a
trigger is a machine gun based uponthe laws that were actually passed. That's
the point. Turn to Congress,make it, do it, do their

(42:30):
job. Oh but we can't dothat. We'd have to wait. Congress
is divided. They'll never pass thislaw. Yeah. Well, welcome to
democracy, Welcome to representative democracy inthe republic that we find ourselves in.
Just because they're just just because they'redysfunctional, they're divided, they don't do
their job, and you know,in some way, shape orform that represents

(42:51):
the will of the American people,we don't agree. Ergo, maybe they
shouldn't be passing laws. Maybe theyshould be in gridlock, because there is
no unified agreement in this country.If everybody wanted the reset triggers to be
banned, then Congress would get togetherand van them, providing specific guidance to
the regulatory state behind the scenes thatno, this is what you're limited to

(43:13):
by way of regulation. Judge orderedHF to stop sending notices and letters to
manufacturers and gun dealers stating the devicesor machine guns, or from interfering with
their production and sale. Judge O'ConnorSenators order there's no denying the tragic nature

(43:34):
of the basis that reset triggers werebanned. Under this extrapolated interpretation, it
was the October twenty seventeen mass shootingat Las Vegas. He acknowledged that it's
tragic. And here's the point.Quote but no matter how terrible the circumstances,
there is never a situation justifying acourt altering statutory text that was democratically

(44:00):
enacted by those who are politically accountable. That responsibility belongs exclusively to Congress.
Close quote. This is the badfacts make bad law argument. Yes,
terrible facts. We need to dosomething. We need to ban. Look
what happened when we have these thingsout of the public. Oh my god.
Yeah, that's a job for Congress, not the regulatory state or the

(44:23):
administrative State's see what Steve's got thismorning. Hey Steve, thanks for calling
today, and a happy Friday toyou, sir. Happy Friday. You
don't you don't enjoy Fridays, Soyou like Monday morning and morning at Yeah,
I see you're happy. You knowme well, and you know,
I gotta apologize. They've been kindof out of states this week. I

(44:45):
feel like the world's falling apart aroundme with everything going on, and you
know, and it's easy to feelthat way, but I'm telling you I
am. I'll be honest with you. It really really does wear on me
emotionally, cognitively, and I thinkit comes across sometimes in my attitude on
the radio and my apologies to anybodythat I may offend or you know,

(45:05):
sometimes I'm out of sorts. I'mjust a regular guy like everybody else.
Well, thanks for taking the bulletsfor us. We appreciate it. We
just so a couple of comments aboutour brilliant vice president. When Prime Minister
Netanyahu spoke to a joint session ofCongress, it's similar to a State of

(45:25):
the Union. You will have thehead of the House, the Speaker of
the House, and the president ofthe Senate, the Vice President of the
United States perched up there above thepresident of the State of the Union.
And they are to do that whenit's a joint session of Congress with the
foreign dignitary speaking. But it's amazinghow the media can portray that. Listening

(45:52):
on this station and I know thehalf hour updates that's syndicated. It's a
left leaning news outlet whatever it is. But the other day they said she
had previous commitment. Now, shewent to a it was a convention the
sorority that she was a member of. Yeh, So she did have a
commitment, but it was trivial.Yes, it could have been pushed aside.

(46:14):
But they didn't say that because theydon't want you to know that.
So that that's part of the mediais not they're not delivering the news they
are. If Trump had gone toa fraternity meeting instead of meeting, that
that would have been they would havesaid that, so that every single reporting,
al uh would have had that beenthe headline, Trump attends fraternity reunion

(46:36):
rather than seeing you the head ofa of one of our greatest allies in
the Middle East, absolutely be plasteredeverywhere. But you're right, And I
laughed every time I read that,sort of in a sad and pathetic laughter.
But you know, when you readit, she had prior commitments for
an event in Indianapolis or something.It's like, never said it was a
sorority reunion. You had to lookoutside of the mainstream media to find that
specific fact, and it was,in fact a sorority reunion. Yeah,

(47:00):
to dig for it a little bit, and here's here's the good one.
And I can't take credit for this. I wish I could, but I
heard this on Clay and Buck theother day and it was a caller that
called in talking about the pronunciation ofthe vice president's first name. Yeah,
Kamala Kamala learned from Mississippi James myself. No, no, no, here's

(47:20):
here's what. Here's what I wantyou to think. Every time you're you're
you mentioned her first name. Now, uh, they said the same way
with Victoria. You could say Vicky, you could say Tory, you can
kind of shorten it, so forher instead of Kamala Kamala, it's just
commy, So that that's that's allyou do about saying her first name Tommy.

(47:42):
And she was the most liberal senatorin the United States Senate and the
entity that compiled those numb those figures, she was more liberal than Bernie Sands.
Yes, they are scrubbing that asif the same way she was not
the borders, she was not themost liberal. Yeah, that's the most

(48:02):
recent one. Yeah. I broughtup both of those earlier in the week
that the organization that tracked how liberalor conservative senators are did pull that.
They said they recalculated their scoring,so they went to two years scoring,
but that was about three or fouryears ago. They left the twenty nineteen
single year scoring up showing her themost liberal senator up for four or five

(48:22):
five years, and only this weektook that scoring down, even though they
allegedly changed how they score several yearsearlier. It was the fact that that
made it all over the national newsthat point that she was the most liberal,
so we got to hide that.It's I called it Orwell's Ministry of
Truth yesterday of the day before.It's exactly what we're seeing. It is

(48:44):
history, exactly, brother, exactly. Steve, you have a great weekend.
Thanks for calling today six eighteen fiftyfive K Steve Talk Station. Your
calls are welcome as well. AndI want to save you money and I
want you to be happy with services. That's probally my being high quality services
and goods lower money. Isn't thatwhat it's all about? Saving money and
being happy. That's where affordable imagingservices comes in. Because we're all going

(49:07):
to get a scan at some point, whether it's an MRI, a CT
scan and echo, cardigram, ultrasound, lung screening, or cardiac scoring.
Why not pay a mere fraction ofthe hospital imaging department. Just go to
affordable imaging services. Well, mydoctor told me to go to and don't
give a choice. When it comesto your medical care. You can go
anywhere you want. And when anMRI costs four hundred and ninety five dollars
without a contrast or six hundred andforty five dollars with a contrast including the

(49:30):
radiologist report, compare that to whatyou pay at the hospital. You could
literally be out of pocket thousands ofdollars after the insurance payment. And if
your copes, whatever your cope is, I recommend doing the math ahead of
time. My friend Jeff did that, did the math ahead of time,
and he saved himself thirty one hundreddollars by accordon to affordable imaging services for

(49:53):
his echo cardiogram. I just findthat mind blowing. But see this is
the reality, same kind of equipment, same professionals operating it, a fraction
of the cost of the imaging departmentfive one three seven five three eight thousand
five to one three seven five threeeight thousand online Affordable Medimaging dot com fifty

(50:14):
five krc SEXT twenty four The fiftyfive KRC detalk station Deck right with Dave
had are coming up next, DavidEh. But notice a whole lot of
people on Facebook dropping their Netflix account. And I saw the basis for that

(50:36):
as the co founder of Netflix gaveseven million dollars to a pro Harris political
action committee and came out all glowycongrats to the Kamala Harris Now it's time
to win. Seven million dollars describedas the longest, the largest political donation
this guy ever made to anybody thatwill be Netflix co founder read Hastings.
And so I see people posting they'vedropped Netflix. We're never going to be

(50:57):
coming back, you know, andthat that is one way you can make
a stand. And I see they'regoing after Harley Davidson now, and this
looks to me like a bud Lightmoment for Harley Davidson. Harley Davidson's lgbt
Q plus boot camp. Does thatsound like something that your typical Harley customer

(51:17):
would embrace. There's an influencer,social media influencer, Robbie Starbuck. This
is the guy that apparently brought thefocus on John Deere for going DEI woke,
which ultimately resulted in John Deere reversingtheir DEI policies because of the conservative
backlash. Farmers typically not your youknow, woke DEI type people either,

(51:43):
but Harley riders Starbuck. This guycalls Harley Davidson a platinum founding member of
the LGBT Chamber of Commerce in Wisconsin, which has opposed banning sex changes for
children. Starbucks posted a ten minuteincluding a Harley Davidson commercial in which it
proclaims it is in quote all inon diversity and inclusion close quote Harley Davidson

(52:09):
Legal Department that's reported here. Ifound this article on Newsmax. Legal department
was required to take a woke twentyone day racial equity and literacy challenge featuring
controversial work such as the sixteen tonineteen Project and the book Black Panthers and
White Lies. According to this Starbuckinfluencer, apparently the CEO there's a proponent

(52:30):
of green initiatives and has set agoal to make all Harley Davidson vehicles electric
by twenty thirty. Yeah, how'sthis going to work out for you?
Here? Let me get my popcornout six twenty six fifty five KRECD Talks

(54:19):
T. And thanks for Interest forsponsoring the segment. Dave Hatter, Welcome
back to the morning show. Myfriend's always good talking with you, Brian,
always good to be here, realreal quick. You know I heard
you in the last segment talking aboutHarley wanting to make all their vehicles electric.
Yeah, I saw saw an articleyesterday. There's a Twitter account called
the kobeec Letter. If I followit, they're like economic guys. Apparently

(54:43):
Ford is expected to lose five billionon its electric vehicle business alone this year.
Yeah, I saw this. Yeahnegative, Their negative forty four thousand
on every EV and their sales aredown thirty seven percent, So that should
work well you know how you turnthat around volume, Megan, Yeah,
like a change bank in New York. Right, that's the best Saturday Night

(55:05):
Live skit ever. I think you'reright on that. I agree with you.
That is awesome. We deal involume volume. That thing is a
masterpiece, it really is. Wecan give you two four quarters, twenty
Nichols, ten dimes one. Yeah, there you go, volume. So
anyhow, he's three profit all right, sorry, that's all right. Yeah,

(55:30):
this is an interesting story. SoSISSA is a cybersecurity and infrastructure security
agency and there was a recent reportout, you know, one of they
amongst many things they do, theywork with other federal agencies to try to
secure them, which is a goodthing. Yes, they have a they
do something called a silent shield assessmentwhere they will attempt to and the business

(55:51):
red team is basically, you area pretend to be bad guys and try
to break into other organizations white hathackings sometimes it's called So they didn't name
the agency, but apparently they wereable to break into another federal agency.
And this is why this is scary. Not so much that they were able
to get in. That's bad enoughbecause you can you know, bet our

(56:12):
adversaries around the world are doing thissort of thing for real. But they
were able to explore you vulnerability withoutgetting too deep in the weeds and too
nerdy. There's something called the CommonVulnerability Database. It's also run by the
government, and as software flaws arefound, they will be logged and categorized.
You know, Okay, how severeis it? That sort of thing,
because I mean, let's be real, Brian, just because software has

(56:35):
a flow on it, it mightnot be a significant vulnerability. It might
not be worth your time to patch, you know, so you've got to
understand how risky is it and whatdoes that mean for your organization. But
they rated this particular bug nine pointeight out of ten, so that is
a very severe bug, a criticalbug. They exploited that got into this
agency. And then once they wereable to get in, they spent some

(56:58):
time. And this is what hackerswill typically do. So they can scan
the internet. They can find Okay, your system has this vulnerability. If
I can exploit that to get in, then I can work around in there
until I figure out where can Isteal something worthwhile, which is usually your
money. I mean, you know, again, obviously a nation state actor
might have a different goal they're lookingfor, but usually for just you know,

(57:21):
criminal hackers, it's money. Sothey lurked around in there for a
while. Then they were able tofind some accounts, some passwords, passwords
stored in files that weren't secured,all the stuff we talk about all the
time, accounts that had bad passwords, and they were basically able to get
full control over this environment. Andthis is typically what hackers will do once
they're in They're going to dig around, they're going to keep working, especially

(57:44):
if you're a high value target,until they can figure out, you know,
either how to get the specific thingthey want or to get some type
of administrative account where they have fullcontrol over the domain. So yeah,
not good. And the reason whyI think this story is a important not
so much because you know, thereare federal government agencies out there that are

(58:04):
insecure and being taken over by ourown white hat people trying to help fight
these flaws and then ultimately patch themand make other agencies aware. But this
is exactly this sort of thing thebad guys are doing. The businesses,
and when you're a business, itsays, I don't have anything to hide,
I don't have anything worth stealing.I'm a small business. Why would
they come after me? In manycases, it's because you're making it easy.
You have these vulnerabilities, you havebad practices and processes, and they're

(58:30):
not sitting around thinking, huh,I wonder if I could break into Joe's
garage today and steal their money.They're using tools to find these vulnerabilities in
your environment and then they'll chip awayat it, you know if maybe if
they can't get in right away,they might move on. But you've got
to understand, and I know,Brian, we've talked about this many times
over ten years. The people behindthese kinds of attacks, in most cases,

(58:52):
if it's not a nation state adversary, are in places where they have
no money, no opportunity, lotsof time on their hands, internet access
and access to the tools that helpthem find these flaws, and they need
money. They want money. Theydon't mind stealing your money, and there's
really no repercussions to them because they'rein places where they can't be touched.

(59:14):
So by not patching these vulnerabilities,by not securing your systems, by not
taking the kind of advice we giveout every Friday, seriously, you are
literally making it easy for the badguys to steal your data, to steal
your money, possibly both. Andthis is just a perfect example of that.
Bit is if you really read throughthe details of this article, it's

(59:35):
it's not shocking but depressing how easyit was for these Red teamers to get
into this agency. And trust me, that's very common across our business ah
environment. And on that said note, but we will pause, come back
and talk about what well it statesthe obvious it's unhealthy to always be on
your phone. Now we finish thatsegment already. Look they've had or first,

good for you. There's a guywho's gotten a lot of attention recently.
His name is Jonathan haate, assumingI'm pronouncing that right, Hai Dt so

(01:01:25):
called the Anxious Generation, and hisbook is focused on how, you know,
all this technology, smartphones, socialmedia and so forth are bad for
kids. And you know, atthis point, let's be realistic. Most
people are accessing social media through asmartphone, right, It's not like the

(01:01:45):
old days where they're you know,sitting at a computer in the basement on
Facebook. So you know, whenhe's talking about this, you can just
sort of think smartphone in general isthe sort of nexus that makes all of
this possible. Yep. And youknow, the book has gotten a lot
of attention. There's some states nowin the US moving to band smartphones and
schools, which I think is probablya wise decision because you know, not

(01:02:08):
only the mental health, it's adistraction from learning. Yes, it's the
distraction, right, I mean,let's face it, you and I both
know. I mean, first off, just walk out in society and look,
well, they really stuck in thesethings all the time. You know,
how many times have you been toa concert, Brian where you're standing
next to someone and literally they arebasically watching the whole concert through the idiotic

(01:02:30):
phone because they're filming it. No, wait, go ahead and get on
Facebook today. There was a FooFighters concert last night. You can basically
see the entire concert through people's posts. Yeah, it's nuts. I mean,
I can't say I've never taken myphone out and filmed some minor segment
of something at a concert, butdo you know how many times I've gone
back and watched that again? Andthe whole thing is nuts. But you

(01:02:51):
know, this, this article andmany people out there now are you know,
raising concerns about people with phones andhow much time to spend a time,
and kids in particular. We've seenthe current Surgeon General come out and
argue that social media should come witha warning label. And you know,
I think that's not a bad idea. While I don't think that's going to
stop anything, you know, weneed to get people to realize that spending

(01:03:12):
all day long looking at these devices, getting all their news, all their
social interactions out of these devices isnot good. And you know, I'm
not a not a psychiatrist or apsychologist, but studies increasingly show that people,
when kids and especially spending all theirtime on these devices is not good.
And like you mentioned, you know, think about it from a school

(01:03:34):
perspective. I mean, I canimagine I was. I was a pretty
distracted student to begin with. Youknow, I could if I would have
had something like this, I'm sureI would have paid zero attention whatsoever.
You know. So I get thatthis creates a lot of anxiety for people
to think about. Okay, Igot to give up my phone. But
I've also seen some recent studies wherethey've done this kind of thing in the

(01:03:55):
schools, and after like the initialwithdrawal period, which tells you some in
and of itself, kids are actuallylike, oh, I'm glad I don't
have all of this extra anxiety andstress and distraction during the day. So
amen, you know it's people.If you have kids, you should get
the book The Anxious Generation. AndI think we're past the time where it

(01:04:17):
would be a good idea to startbanning these things at schools at a minimum.
Oh, without question, I couldnot agree with you more on that
one. Well, and the nextthis one's puzzling me. We're gonna be
talking about artificial intelligence boyfriends coming upnext. I don't understand that as a
concept. Dave's going to enlighten ushere. Just hold on for a minute.

businesses, business courses. They arethe best, so get in touch with
them. What artificial intelligence boyfriends?Come on, man, I'm well yeah,

(01:06:13):
it's malarkey, Brian. We betterdo it right. You may recall
we talked about this a few weeksago from the reverse angle and mostly with
a privacy focus. So Mozilla,before I jump directly into this, Mozilla,
the people that make Firefox have awebsite called Privacy Not Included. I
bring this up every once in awhile because the website itself is full of
useful tips for how to understand whomakes privacy friendly stuff and who doesn't,

(01:06:38):
And they did a deep dive intothis, had an article recently called romantic
AI chatpots don't have your privacy atheart and basically just proceed to rip this
type of thing apart because their takeon it is in order for it to
seem like a real person. Haha ha. I think we can both
agree to that you have to providea lot of potentially sensitive and intimate data.

(01:06:58):
And when you read the privacy policyand think about the possibility of them
selling your data to make money andtrain their models, it's just crazy.
So you know, that's if Iencourage people. If you've used one of
these or thinking about using one,whatever, you should go read what Mozilla
has had to say on this topicfirst. But there's a recent headline,
Yeah, the AI boyfriend business isbooming, and you know, most of

(01:07:20):
the press about this has been froman AI girlfriend perspective, but apparently these
things are now popular for women aswell. And in this article, you
know, they mentioned some stats.For example, I campaign apps are surging
and Resent Horowitz calls it a grossspurt, with eight apps making their twenty
twenty four debut and the firm's listof the top one hundred gen ai consumer

(01:07:43):
apps, compared to only two intwenty twenty three. They say engagement is
also usually high compared to other apps. Average number of viewser sessions per month
is over ten times that of generalassistant apps content generation apps. You like
a chat to even, Yeah,what are they doing? Uh? I
think eating up the time? Ifthey're online with an artificial intelligence boyfriend,

(01:08:05):
what are they doing? Well,I think they're just basically talking to it,
talking to a artificial intelligence progress.So if you if you dig into
this article, uh, well,Brian, I guess because I think it
speaks to the loneliness epidemic that wehave in this country. I think it
is. I agree, I thinkit's terribly sad. And then I think

(01:08:28):
it also has to do with thefact that, you know, just reading
some of the comments of people whoare interacted with these things, you know,
they basically say they're more empathetic andmore friendly and easier to talk to
than their human companions or the peoplein their lives. Which yes, I
mean the whole thing is really experienceempathetic. Yes, So, like one

(01:08:49):
person here says, I spend alot of time just sitting by myself and
pretty much waiting for him to wantto spend time with me. So she
created her replica. Jack Replica isone of these platforms who case is exactly
her type. The experience showed hershe's been quote settling big time unquote.
She also finds community with other replicausers on Reddit and Facebook, and is

(01:09:12):
in a new relationship with a humanman. So again, there's some quotes
from some people in here. Butthen you know it goes on to say
the other side. You know,the chatbot can't look you in the eye,
give you hug or fords a genuinetwo way connection. You know,
I spend your the reality when you'reinteracting with it, You're you're talking to
a computer and ones and zeros beinggenerated by artificial intelligence. How can I

(01:09:38):
just wonder how that can be inany way, shape or form rewarding to
anyone. Uh, I don't understandit myself, Brian. Now maybe it's
because I don't understand the depths ofemotional emptiness. Well, that's part of
it. And I guess perhaps Iunderstand how this stuff works too well.
So I know, at the endof the day, there's it's not sinny

(01:10:00):
in any way, it's not reallytalking to me. It's just using probability
to put words together, you know, and now you know me too,
Brian tenfoil Hack guy that am.There is no way I'm going to give
one of these apps any kind ofreally sensitive, inimate, deep philosophical information
about me, right because I wouldnever trust that to what say just in

(01:10:20):
that app. I mean it's badand and sad, really almost tragic in
so many ways. You know,I encourage people if you read this article
from Axios, you know they dokind of dig into why this is not
a good thing, both from asocietal, societal and psychological aspect. But

(01:10:41):
you know they touched briefly on theprivacy Again. I can't state enough anyone
that's considering this really ought to goto Privacy Non Included and see what they
have to say about this. Andthen yeah, my advice should be,
you know, get out, jointhe club, go to church, make
friends. You know, these thingsare not real. I think I might
have mentioned this to you, andI can't. I can't say the full

(01:11:02):
title on the air, but forpeople who are wondering about AI, I
think this whole thing is pretty muchpeaked in its current form. There's a
great article something to the effect ofit. If you say AI again,
I will f M pile drive andI will tell you this guy is you
know, he's in the in theindustry. He knows what he's talking about.

(01:11:25):
I think his take on it isspot on, and it is also
one of the funniest things I've everread. His writing style is so hilarious
and I laughed out loud a coupleof times reading it. That doesn't generally
happen reading text. That's you know, I understand that. Is that going
to be on your notes? I'llput it in my notes. Obviously you're
not going to share it. It'syou know, it's kind of curse word

(01:11:46):
in it. That's why I haven'tshared it more widely. I wish he
would have toned the headline the airso that you know, it doesn't immediately
pop up. Do my job.It's worth a read. Try to self
censor on the fly every single dayfor four hours. Yeah, yeah,
you know me. When I'm offair, I mean I can have a

For Hamilton County Sheriff. I thinkthe man who was previously in the job

(01:13:39):
Do you have Carcy Morning Show?My friend? It's always great having you

hanging over price sal Chili Warrior orsomething like that. Hey, Jim,

(01:14:00):
I'm gonna put you on the spotright out of the gate. Here.
We're doing listener lunch at Jim andJackson the River on the seventh of

lunch. I know you've been tolistener lunches quite a few times over the
years, and just an opportunity tomeet some of your maybe voters and hang

(01:14:23):

see you there. And Smith Amanis going to be there. He's a
big fan of hers. Jim Neil. Oh, and by the way,
it's vote Jim Neil a e IlVote Jimneil dot com. That's his campaign
web page. Let's just talk aboutyour motivations for wanting to take back over

(01:14:45):
the role of Jim. Do youhave inside baseball about how things are going
currently under the current administration? BecauseI don't read, I read very little.
I don't see a whole lot ofreporting. Of course, local reporting
doesn't usually get involved in morale issuesstaffing issues. So what's going on inside
that you're aware of that serves asat least a motivation for you to run
again. Oh? Absolutely. Firstof all, let me clarify that we

(01:15:11):
should be spending this opportunity celebrating there election of Bruce Hoffbauer. But that
didn't happen. So I had toask myself, what are you going to
do about a gym? So Idecided to run because you're absolutely right about
the morale. It's morale's bad rightnow. Staffing levels are extremely been impacted

(01:15:36):
negatively. They're extremely understaffed right now, to the extent that you floors had
to be shut down at the Countyjail. And and when you're shutting down
an operation like that, that's especiallylike at the county jail, that's hundreds
of beds that are not available forsocieties worse, that make our community safer.

(01:16:00):
Absolutely not. When you don't havea cell available for the offender,
well, there is a need forthe cells. I mean, there was
a one point, Jimmy, youand I have talked about this over the
in past years, that there wasno room at the end, you know,
in other words, they were packedin there more than it was a

(01:16:23):
design and built for. And ofcourse we always have the staffing issues,
the number of inmates far exceeding thenumber that's safe for the deputies who are
guarding them. But you're saying they'reclosing down these beds. Does that mean
there's no demand for the space?Is this the consequence of woke judges letting
people out that shouldn't be let out. I guess I'm wondering if you have
a full contingent of deputies and youhad the money and resources, would the

(01:16:45):
place be full and would all thebeds be open. That's a good that's
a good question, because we haveno control over you know, the decisions
the judges make, but we dohave control every police officer at FECTX and
arrest, that offender is booked intothe county jail and held there into they

(01:17:09):
faced the judge the next day forarraignment. But when you don't have staffing
levels to provide security the debt.When I left the office, Brian,
the office was right sized when itcame to personnel. We were fully staffed.
In the county jail, we wereright size, and court services,

(01:17:32):
and we were covering our beats onpatrol. But since I left office,
the number of deputies are fewer todaythan there were back then. Is that
because of attrition inability to get peopleto you know, pursue a career in
law enforcement with the Hamilton County Sheriff'sDepartment? Is it lack of funding a

(01:17:55):
combination all above what's driving then?It's not funding because she's adequately funded.
There's a budget that's you know,set for the deputies. It's when the
deputies are eligible to retire. They'reretiring a number of them have left for
other jobs with other agencies and it'stougher today. You're correct on recruiting,

(01:18:24):
but it's it's about leadership, Ryan. The deputies don't want to they don't
want to work for an agenda.They want to work for a law enforcement
agency. And the current sheriff ispromoting her party's agenda in policy and it
doesn't mix with law enforcement. Notjust THEI just policies in general. You

(01:18:49):
can see the agenda of the partyuh written into these policies. Well,
give us an illustration of that.So not operating Sheriff mcgufney's there with sheriff
in the state of Ohio. Notworking with immigrations and customs enforcement also known
as silent And that's just an exampleone policy. When you drive by these

(01:19:15):
county buildings, you're used to seeingwhat on the top of the building an
American flag, correct, the stateflag, maybe a pow flag. Now
you're seeing a Pride flag. Imean, you see what I'm going with.
The agenda of the party is workingits way into the policy of the

(01:19:39):
sheriff's office. This is a politicalsheriff, not a sheriff that is prioritizing
law enforcement and prioritizing upolding our constitutionand serving the people. She's doing a
very good job of serving the party, but she's not serving the people to

(01:20:00):
the extent that she should be.Well, this sounds like them for these
these deputies, it really is.And morales down, they're leaving at record
levels. It's hard to recruit periodin law enforcement the way we've been demonized
over the years. But she isadequately funded. There is funds available for

(01:20:28):
staffing levels, but the staffing levelsare really down, sir, Well,
and I can understand that you don'twant to walk into a highly politicized environment
when those politics don't well serve yourown personal interest outside of work. But
it shouldn't be a politically motivated job. I mean, we're talking law enforcement
here. You know, this soundslike exactly what's going on in America's military,
Jim. You know, they can'tget people to join America's voluntary military

(01:20:49):
because well, word's gotten out thatbasically it becomes this indoctrination session. It's
not about killing people and breaking thingsand maintaining a cohesive military fighting force,
about dividing everybody and put them inseparate racial and sexual baskets to meet some
sort of you know, across theboard numbers game. Amen. So what

(01:21:13):
is Sheriff Jim neil to turn thisaround? I mean, obviously you depoliticize
the policies, but you've got toget you got to spread the word about
that that it's a different operation,that it's a you know, a welcome
environment for people who care about lawenforcement in their community. That that's a
tough job. At this state wefind ourselves in, Jim, it is,
and that's going to be the challengeinitially, is is hiring, hiring,

(01:21:38):
hiring, recruiting and hiring to getthe agency right size so that we
are available to provide that quality lawenforcement service. But I believe a leadership
will help. I've there's been anumber of deputies that have left that already

(01:21:59):
approach me, if you're elected inthe office sheriff, can we come back?
So I'm hoping that, I'm hopingthat initially there's going to be a
wave coming in the front door,coming back door. And that's exciting,
and it starts with leadership, Ryan, and you know, and leadership that's

(01:22:26):
focused. Look, as sheriff,I am an elected executive. The duty
of the executive, whether you're sheriff, whether you're governor, whether you're the
president, is to enforce the laws. It's that simple. I'm not going
to be legislating. I'm not goingto be interpreting the laws. I'm going

(01:22:47):
to be enforcing the laws. Andas you can see, there's been a
failure that all the way up.You know, even President Biden, he's
not enforcing the laws on the USCand uh, that's his job, and
that'll be my job as sheriff toenforce the laws and uphold the Constitution.

(01:23:09):
I'm going to be focused on that. Public safety is so important part of
the agenda, if you recall fromthe from Donald Trump and jd Vance is
one of the one of their goalsis to make America safe again. Well,

(01:23:30):
that's my focus as sheriff, tomake Hamilton County safe again. And
and you know how that works,Brian, you know the collaborations I was
involved. Oh yeah, to makethat happen. Yes, sir, just
we're out there. Let's pause.I'll bring you back because these are important
thoughts we're going to get into.I also want to ask you about the

(01:23:51):
status of Hamilton County relative to crime. But yeah, you were big into
collaboration and working with other agencies,which is kind of a unique thing in
law enforcement. You did such agreat job of it. Hold on in

You were segueing into, you know, working collaboratively with various law enforcement and
back in when you were previously sheriff, you were on the fifty five Karsse

(01:26:23):
Morning Show regularly and you always talkedabout how important that was and what greater
illustration than what we saw with theattempted assassination of Donald Trump. You see
how many different law enforcement agencies haveto work together to get you know,
as a well low machine for oneevent. I mean with a dangerous landscape
we find ourselves in. You gotFBI Director Rate talking about terrorist activity likely

(01:26:45):
and he's worried about it. Imean, this is the kind of thing
that's really really important. Has thatelement of law enforcement within the Hamilton County
Sheriff's Office been lost under the currentadministration, Jim yes. It has.
The motto of the Hamilton County PoliceAssociation is cooperation and operation, and our

(01:27:06):
federal partners even tell us that aboutlaw enforcement Hamilton County. They're really impressed
on how while we work together.So it's equally important for the sheriff to
work with all of law enforcement,to share resources, including excuse me,

(01:27:28):
human resources, and to participate inthe task force, to create task force
to deal with the trends. It'sa force multiplier Brian when you do that,
because no one agency will bear theburden of financing that task force.

(01:27:50):
If I have two deputies in atask force, my budget's covering those two
deputies. But they're working with otherlaw enforce smith solving some of of of
the worst that's going on in ourcounty today. Because as you remember,
we started the Heroin Task Force inHamilton County and and the also one of

(01:28:15):
my first task force that I formedwas to deal with the homeless population living
on the county campus. And thenI had task force with the State of
Ohio, the Human Trafficking Task Force. I had task force with the US
March Marshals, the Fugitive Task Force. I had a task force with UH.

(01:28:36):
You know, involved in a taskforce, a collaboration with the FBI
with terrorism and also with computer crimes. We were out there looking for them
predators that are victimizing our youth andother computer related crimes. Brian and I
had task force with Homeland Security,and the list goes on and on,

(01:29:00):
on and on. I had taskforcedwith the private sector. I had I
had a collaboration with Hope Dudley circulatingplaying cards in the county jail. Each
card had a face of a ofa murdered UH a victim and in Greater
Cincinnati in that crime, that homicidehas not been solved yet. The program.

(01:29:25):
Yeah, and with that collaboration,I was informed by our detectives that
while I was still SHARE, fiveof them cold cases were solved. And
you know, that's why it's importantto form UH that you know to embrace
this cooperation and operation and to collaboratewith public and private sector. And uh,

(01:29:51):
it's just a win win and asa force multiplier, especially now when
there's fewer of us in law enforcement, we need to work to gather the
combat the criminal element. And speakingof the criminal element, before we part
company today, Jim Neil, whatis the status of crime in Hamilton County?
I get the impression it's not good, but again, not a whole

(01:30:13):
lot of local reporting to give usa broader picture of how things currently stand.
Your take on this current situation,Jim, yes, there is.
It is not good, and thepopulation of the county is you're going to
see an increase because Cincinnati is asanctuary city and what that means to the

(01:30:38):
foreign nationals is Cincinnati is a placethat opens their arm to receive them.
And the current sheriff has expanded thesanctuary city and has made the county a
sanctuary county. Now, so theentire region has been affected by this sanctuary

(01:31:00):
status and the foreign nationals are beingprotected and instead of dealt with accordingly,
I will tell you that as sheriff, any foreign national that is arrested for
violating our crimes. They will bereported to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, also

(01:31:23):
known as ICE, so they canbegin their investigation. And when these offenders
are released from our county jail byway of making bond or if they serve
their sentence, ICE will be notifiedof the release and we will hold them
up for an additional forty eight hoursfor ICE to respond to interview these individuals

(01:31:47):
and also or take custody of themand prep them for deportation. And there's

fifty five hundred, eight hundred andeighty two three Talk Joe Dieters making the
national news this morning. Supreme Courtdecision from yesterday? Are boneless wings?
Boneless? Can boneless wings include bones? Yes, that was a four to
three decision, and boneless wings caninclude bones. Apparently you're supposed to understand

(01:35:58):
that four to three decision came aftera guests from a local restaurant. Your
foule legal action had a serious medicalcomplication. A bone from a boneless wing
got stuck in his throat. Thisgentleman named Michael Berkheimer filed a suit against
the wing joint and the wing manufacturer. Bottom line is after he took a

(01:36:18):
bite out of this with this bonelesswing. A few days later, he
was feverish and unable to keep fooddown. Went to the emergency room.
A doctor discovered a long, thinbone had torn his esophagus, leading to
an infection. So he sued WingsOn Brookwood, claiming the restaurant failed to
warn him that boneless wings could containbones, despite the understanding the items are

(01:36:39):
nuggets of chicken meat free of bonesaka boneless. Court decision yesterday said the
boneless wings refer to cooking style andthat he should have been on guard against
bones. Here's the quote from JusticeJoseph Dieters, writing for the majority in
the four to three opinion, Adiner reading boneless wings on a menu would

(01:37:00):
no more believe that the restaurant waswarranting the absence of bones in the items
than believe that the items were madefrom chicken wings, just as a person
eating chicken fingers would know that hehad not been served fingers. On the
other side, a minority opinion,Justice Michael Donnelly, and I can't come
leaning with Donnelly on this one.Makes a good point anyway. The question

(01:37:21):
must be asked, does anyone reallybelieve that the parents in this country who
feed their young children boneless wings orchicken tenders, or chicken nuggets or chicken
fingers expect bones to be in thechicken. Of course they don't. When
they read the word boneless, theythink that it means without bones, as

(01:37:41):
do all sensible people. Close que, where do you follow it on this
one anyway, you have been warnedseven thirty six fifty five krc DE Talk

Tomorrow is the day for Peyton's lemonadestand. This is such an awesome,

(01:40:17):
awesome story, It's just so heartwarming. Back in twenty eighteen, I was
a six year old girl named Peyton. She wanted to open a lemonade stand
and give the fat proceeds to charity. And she recalled that she had got
a teddy bear when she was apatient at since A Children's Hospital, and
that bear has been in her bedevery night since then. So again she

(01:40:38):
was six, she says, allright, I opened a lemonade stan I'm
gonna give the money to since AChildren's hospital and to buy toys for children
like I got. Okay, Sothe first time it was seven hundred and
sixty eight bucks, and she's beendoing one every year since, and every
year it has grown bigger and biggerand bigger. In fact, it's gone
well, I would say nationwide.I think it's in three states now,

(01:41:00):
and every year it gets bigger.Last year and over the years, it's
been more than a several hundred thousanddollars. Last year one day of the
year, and that's that's taking placetomorrow. They raised over one hundred thousand
dollars in only three hours. Andso when she was on the program a
couple weeks ago, I said,we're gonna do two hundred thousand dollars this

(01:41:23):
year. Let's everybody get together andsupport this wonderful cause. All you need
to do is go to Peyton's lemonadestand dot org tomorrow again. The link
is on my blog page fifty fiveCasey dot com. And buy some lemonade.
That's it. He can donate ifyou want. And they've got all
kinds of sponsors, because of coursethese are real lemonade stands, and they're

(01:41:44):
right of Peyton's Lemonade Stand dot com. So there's a whole bunch of them
all over town. And I'm lookingat the map right now, and it's
awesome how many of these lemonade standsare out and about. I mean they
are literally everywhere. So from overlike west of Bright, Indiana, all
the way over into almost Goshen anddown into northern Kentucky all the way up
to Hamilton. Is a couple ofthem in Hamilton. So there's a lemonade

(01:42:08):
stand out there near you. Findout where that is, and get some
lemonade and support the charity. Andlet's keep my I'm gonna keep my fingers
crossed. They get more than twohundred thousand dollars this year. Just such
a cool thing. Another cool thingsince since the school year's coming in it
was a local story. I hadn'tgotten to it yet. But take advantage
of tax free ten days of taxfree this year and they've expanded what you

(01:42:29):
can save on. I think itused to be just like school supplies.
This year's sales holiday scheduled from midnightJuly thirtieth through August eighth at eleven fifty
nine pm cord to the Howe Departmentof Taxation, The sales tax waiver will
cover all tangible personal property that beanything that you can move or touch or
consume that is five hundred dollars orless. Now that comes with a couple

(01:42:53):
of exceptions. Five hundred dollars orless. All right, well, watercraft,
motor vehicles will remain taxable. Whatelse comes to mind is going to
remain taxable? Right, Cigarettes,tobacco, vaping products, anything with marijuana
in it, You're going to haveto pay the tax during this ten day
period. It does, and Ithought this is rather unusual. It does

(01:43:16):
include dine in food purchases at restaurant, but not beer, wine, cocktails,
or rather alcoholic beverages. So Iguess they xcize that component from your
bill at the restaurant, but taxfree restaurant days are in so and online
purchases also qualified, and if anyqualifying items purchase online during the holiday will
be tax exempt. The item doesn'thave to be delivered during the holiday.

(01:43:39):
You just have to buy it duringthat ten day timeframe. So they say
on the flip side, items orderbefore the holiday but delivered during it are
not tax exams. So let's payattention to the window folks. But enjoy
tax free for ten days July thirtieththrough August eighth at all, just shy
at midnight. They always offer thesewhen you're getting ready to go to school,

(01:44:01):
you know. And Donald Trump wantsto relieve you know, service workers
from having to pay taxes on theirtips. So what I always interpret this
as is no tax is good.It makes people who get to keep the
money that much happier. Oh ifwe could only apply this on a more

Just disgusting. Also disgusting the antiIsrael protesters. I just couldn't believe
what I was reading this morning aboutwhat was going on with these protesters,
including throwing feces at the US parkPolice who were under staff while trying to

(01:48:30):
manage these pro Hamas rioters. Andthey were pro Hamas too. This isn't
just you know, fighting for youknow, the Palestinian state or you know,
the two Countries solution. No,they were screaming pro Hamas, anti
American slogans, anti capitalism, sloganscomplete with exclatives, complete with explatives,
that were spray painted over public monumentslike the Liberty Bell replica they took over

(01:48:55):
that, they took down the UnitedStates flag, the American flag and replaced
it with the Palace Stinian flag,which thankfully we had some respectful members of
Congress go back to the scene andhang American flags after taking down the Palestinian
flags, pelting officers with feces.That's what was reported by the Forces Union
chief. And that's on the heelsof before Netanyahu showed up in the town,

(01:49:18):
or the day he showed up intown, what did they do at
the hotel, the Watergate hotel?They let loose a swarm of maggots and
cockroaches. Nod to uh Benjamin Netanyahooyesterday speaking to the folks who actually showed
up at his all important speech.This is one of our prominent allies in
the Middle East elected officials. Buthe made a noted he made a good

(01:49:42):
point during a speech he mocked somedegree the Ivy League, university protesters and
other anti Israel demonstrators for playing intothe hands of Iran and their terrorist proxies.
Quote when the tyrants of Tehran,and I love this point he makes,
who hang from cranes and murder womenfor not covering their hair, are

(01:50:04):
praising, promoting and funding you.You have officially become Iran's useful idiots.
Well played Benjamin Netanyah, who andit's a great point. They want to
disrupt America Netanyah, who says,surely do. And again Iran is funding
these anti Israeli protesters, which iswhy they have such a well oiled machine.

(01:50:27):
They get big money through Iran aswell as Iranian sympathizers, and they're
out in the streets, you know, and you get a big portion of
the Democrat Party is on the sideof these insane people. And how do
you reconcile their position, as youknow, insofar as women's rights, right,
Yeah, we got a women runnerfor a woman running for president this

(01:50:48):
year. You know what, ifIran had anything to do with it,
she makes the short list because KamalaHarris doesn't cover her face up. She's
not a modest woman, and she'spro LGBTQ plus community. Nothing wrong with,
you know, acknowledging those people theirright to exist, thrive and survive

(01:51:10):
in our society. I have noproblem with that. I'm in todd on
my own point of view and I'mnot going to capitulate to the left wing
point of view. But nonetheless,you all live in a society where you

Wishing you a very happy Friday.I been looking forward to this all morning

(01:52:40):
since I saw him on the rundown. David Junks his name, is the
first CEO of Universal Music in Moscow, and for a decade he promoted an
international artist in Russia. You knowthe stars Mariah Carey, Elton, John
You Two, Sting, Bonjo,just to name a handful. He was
Vice President Eastern Europe at Universal Musicback in two thousand and three, opened
the first Universal Music Office and KivUkraine developed music real reality shows for Ukrainian

(01:53:02):
TV and is a founding member ofthe Russian Music Industry Association and the US
Ambassador's Task Force on Intellectual Property Rights. Author he is David Junk, author
of Rock and the Kremlin, myincredible true story of gangsters, oligarchs,
and pop stars in Putin's Russia.David, it's great to have you on
the program this morning. Good morning, Brian. It's an honor to be

(01:53:25):
invited on. Appreciate it. Ijust I'm a huge, huge music fan.
I just love music. I'm jealousof your life in the music industry,
and I guess you got to seeit. And I don't want to
call it demise. I know there'sstill music being made out there, but
the entire landscape of the music industryhas been so radically changed since the advent
of the Internet and music sharing.But this predates all that, doesn't it,

(01:53:49):
Yes, it does. This iswhen compact discs were the number one
cherrier for music, and then priorto that, obviously in Russia it was
mainly buying that they boot legged infrom Eastern Europe. So this predates modern
technology for sure. Well, andI've seen you know, articles, those

(01:54:09):
reviews, political analysis of maybe howin some of the reasons why the Berlin
Wall fell, which is the metaphorfor the Soviet Union collapsing. But the
Western influence seeped its way into theIron Curtain for years and years. You
know, VHS tapes were snuck inwith Western content. It was under high
demand. I remember the old daystalking about how they loved Levi's jeans,

(01:54:31):
remember that, sneaking those in.So what was the mood like when you
got there, Because it seemed fromthe outsider's perspective, and you know,
we won the Cold War, itseems like it was a pretty exciting time
for the people. Was it optimistic. What what was it like? It
was amazing, Brian. It wasone of the great moments of the of
the century for sure, when theBerlin Wall came down and and and the

(01:54:57):
Soviet Union collapsed, and people likeme over there to help Russians transition from
communism and command economy principles to marketand supply and demand and capitalism. It
was really the peak of US Russiarelations, and a lot of people went
to Russia to help in finance,oil and gas exploration, things like that.

(01:55:23):
I went and helped to develop theirmusic industry. So it was totally
different from a lot of other folks, but what I did had a lasting
impact, just as much as anyother assistance Americans provided to the Russians after
the end of the Cold War.Well, it seems to me you had
a pretty much built in, almostguaranteed demand for this content. Oh sure,

(01:55:45):
I mean for a long time,for decades, Russians have been listening
to Western music, just you know, hiding from the censors, right,
They would sneak in these albums,you know, when someone visited Eastern Europe,
one person would bring back an outalbum they would hide and then they
would make copies of it at ahouse party and share it. And and
and and that was the original counterfeitpirating music right there. But but but

(01:56:11):
they loved it and and and theythey devoured Rolling Stones, Beatles, Pink
Floyd albums, now Motown. Funnyenough was allowed in the Soviet sensors would
allow music because they liked uh songs, you know, showcasing inner city strife
in America. It was good forthe Soviet ideology to show, you know,

(01:56:32):
and Marvin Gay saying about what's goingon? You know. The Russians
loved that. Bobby Womack, Yeah, yes, yes, yes, yes,
all right, well, well sothat that's what happened. But then,
but then when Western music came andin the modern era, they devoured
it. They were ready for it, they were hungry for it. And

(01:56:53):
and and I was there to bringthe best of American pop and rock and
hip hop music to the Russians.And of course, first CEO Universal Music
in Moscow. You brought a corporatepresence and organized money making ability with a
team in place. How did younavigate and deal with the political sort of
post fall chaos. I just getthis impression. As soon as the structure

(01:57:16):
the Soviet Union dropped and all ofthese mobsters, gangsters and oligars just rushed
to fill in the void on thatthey see you making profit outside Western entity
making profit. I can imagine yougot you know the shakedown number done to
you? Or am I wrong?Well, you know, it's it's interesting
because there was no proper music industrywhen I got there. You know,

(01:57:40):
there was no real ideas of royaltypayments to artists or songwriter rights, copyrights,
none of that. None of thatwas that's here too, and it
all had to be built from scratch. But the biggest obstacle Brian was the
Russian mafia had moved in so fastthat they had controlled They took control of
ninety percent of the industry by thetime I got there. Oh geez.

(01:58:01):
And they were they were, Yeah, they were manufacturing these counterfeit CDs that
they were selling for a dollar twodollars and on the black market. And
you could have Elton John's greatest hitsplus his new record, plus anything else
you wanted for Melton John. Theywould just put it on one CD.
You know, they would cherry pickall the great songs and and and put

(01:58:21):
it out there, and and andand they would export that music also to
UH to Europe and China, andthey would use the money UH to to
fund terrorism and and sex trafficking anddrugs trafficking. So it was a really
terrible situation when I got there.Well, how did you wrestle that one
to law and order or did you? Well, we did have success,

(01:58:45):
we that we definitely were able toput pressure on the Kremlin to finally do
something about it because they were youknow, the Russians weren't taking uh,
they weren't considering the possibilities of theirown music industry. I I I used
to always use Abba in Sweden asa great example. I would say,
you know, Ab, you know, Sweden sells more Abba records than it

(01:59:08):
does Volvo cars or anything else,and so could Russia, you know.
And it's a great tax base,it'll bring you bring money, it'll create
an industry, jobs, et cetera. And and that was my mantra.
I was constantly reinforcing that. Butthe biggest step we took wash I met
with the US ambassador in Moscow andasked and pleaded with him honestly, to

(01:59:31):
do something about the situation. Andhe uh, he persuaded George Bush to
block Russia from entering the World TradeOrganization until they did something about music piracy,
and and that's and that really worked. That definitely had an impact.
Wow, it's you were in asort of a help me, help you
environment in that that particular situation exactlyexactly, and in a vibrant music industry

(01:59:56):
is very good for any economy,but especially one transition out of communism.
Well, of course it's good forthe soul. I mean, what brings
people together better than music, Youknow, it's uplifting, or sometimes maybe
it's not, but the idea thatyou can embrace something, And especially when
you've been so void of a presencethat has been out in the rest of
the world for so long. Ijust imagine what it was like just being

(02:00:16):
there and being flooded with all ofthis new material. Just again, I
go back to this sort of theexciting environment that I perceived it was.
You also helped develop local Russian talentwhile you were there, didn't you.
I did, And that's very importantfor a record company, not just to
bring in Elton John and Brian Adamsand Metallic, but also to sign and
develop local talent. And what Idid is I found a few artists that

(02:00:42):
I could actually sell abroad too,So I was selling Russian music throughout the
world as far away as Brazil toJapan, Australia to New Zealand. And
of course the biggest goal of allwas I always wanted to be the first
record American record executive to bring aRussian band to the United States, and
I did that, so that thatwas the biggest thing for me, is

(02:01:05):
to bring Russian music to the US. Rock in the Kremlin my incredible true
story of gangsters, oligarchs, andpop stars and Putin's Russia the name of
the book. My guest today,David Johnk's story career in the music business.
Did it end? I mean,I guess we saw that we've seen
the direction we've has gone to authoritarianism, and we thought this was going to

(02:01:25):
be maybe a democratic reality in Russia. They might end up being a great
trading partner or friends. Who knows. I mean, hell, in the
aftermath of World War Two, youdidn't really necessarily think that Germany be a
long term trading partner. Look whathappened Japan the same thing. But what
of the Soviet Union post Cold War? It's it's really tragic, right.
My wife's father was one of thosethere with Boris Yeltsen in the early nineties

(02:01:50):
when he was up on the tank. Oh yeah, clamoring for democracy in
the end of the Soviet Union,and there was so much hope forocracy and
and and a future, a reallybright future for for Russia. You know,
the Russians have one of the highestliteracy rates in the world. That
some of the smartest people in theworld. It really could have been a

(02:02:11):
tremendous thing for for their economy tokeep growing. But because of well,
Boris Jelsen was quite drunk all thetime, and yes he was, and
and and then there was a Chechenwar, a war in Chech that was
really causing a lot of problems forfor Russian So that that led to the

(02:02:31):
ascendancy of Putin into the Kremlin andthings have never been the same since.
And that that put Russia on theauthoritarian track. Uh does Is there still
a presence of universal music in Moscowin Russia these days? No, there's
not, unfortunately, Uh well,but but it's proper. With the war
and the invasion, Western companies havemoved out, the record companies have moved

(02:02:57):
out. Uh. And and Universalhave definitely moved out. There's still a
hip hop industry there that I playeda role in creating twenty five years ago
when we brought in Eminem and DoctorDre and Snoop Dogg. That really led
to the to the development of alocal hip hop artist community. And by

(02:03:17):
my hope is it's that community ofyoung people that will eventually lead Russia to
better days and perhaps they'll take backthat country from the Kremlin somedays. How
about that. It's amazing what musiccan do to change the country and the
landscape. Saw it in the latesixties without question, Well real quick before
we part. Comedy David Johnes lovedthe conversation. The book's going to be

(02:03:38):
a great read for my listeners.You can get it on my blog page
fifty five Casey dot com. Rockinthe Kremlin. What's your perception? And
I brought it up at the outset, but what's your perception of the modern
music industry? Is it even anindustry anymore? Given that Hell, when
I was going to laugh at this, when I was a kid, one
of the neatest things that was availableat music stores they had a little cassette.

(02:03:58):
It was a four track record studio, miniature things. You could put
four tracks on a cassette tape andrecord at home and even over dub at
home. Now I know, modernyou can get a ninety seven track or
whatever, an unlimited number of trackcomputer software you can download online and just
do all the layering with separate tracks. It's just it's home based music.
I don't need a production studio anymore. I can just put my own music

(02:04:20):
online. What's this done to themusic industry? And is it still an
industry? If I may put itthat way, David, I have mixed
feelings about that. I'm old school. I come from the era of the
supergroups, you know, Journey,Rush, Pink Floyd, you know,
yahb Zipline and I, and Ihonestly believe bands like that are not going

(02:04:41):
to happen in today's modern industry becausethere's not people gatekeepers like I was trying
to develop them, but also havingto to not release every single record that
comes out from somebody's you know,computer. Right, That's that's what happens
now, is all music is outthere. There's there's no gatekeepers, there's
no filters. You just get everything. And some people like that, Some

(02:05:04):
people like it that there's thousands,thousands and thousands of more songs per year
released than there ever was in theseventies or eighties. But I think we've
lost that supergroup mentality, you know, where where we'll really appreciate artist artistry
of a really great band or areally great artist, and they sell millions

(02:05:29):
of records instead of thousands of records. So I think it's I don't like
it myself, but I have twosons who make music themselves and put it
put it on the internet, soyou know it's a generational thing. It
really is. Well, I'm inyour camp, David. I think you
and I Sonic were roughly got aroundthe same age. You mentioned a lot
of the bands that I like andgrew up with, so I have a

(02:05:50):
sense of appreciation for where you're comingfrom. David johnk author of Rocking the

(02:08:46):
Brian. As always, you andJoe are true patriots. Buddy,
love it, brother, love it. What's on your mind today? Man?
Well, I mean I think youand I agree that you know,
if you have an American flag ofyour own, you can burn it.
That's that's what our constitution is allabout. But if you take down the

(02:09:07):
main flag in Washington, d C. In the park and you burn their
flag you created, Yeah, it'sa probably crime and held accountable. It's
arson and yeah, yeah, yeah, it's we have to and when you
have to bring out someone to powerwashthe livery bell that's there, that costs

(02:09:30):
money, and uh you know that. I mean, I just don't understand
how one side can do it andthe other side can't. And if the
other side does it, they gostraight to jail. And if this side
does it, you know, andslap them on the wrists, you bad
people. You And then of courseI'm fifty eight and I would have never

(02:09:50):
imagined if I lived to be onehundred and fifty, that anyone in this
country would actually utter the words deathto America. I mean, I have
no response to that. I mean, I mean, and considered in the
context of what you just said,Jeff, that the folks vandalizing property,

(02:10:13):
the folks committing property crimes and arson. If you want to just go ahead
and improperly and legally definitionally characterize,you know, starting a fire in public,
that that's the side that's not beingprosecuted. The same people are screaming
death to America, death to capitalism, death Israel, death to all these
different groups. They are the onesthat are left alone. What sort of
message does that send to our adversaries, those folks coming across the border who

(02:10:35):
are here to do us harm,not just looking for a better life.
I mean, they look at thatand they embrace that, and they take
comfort in that and thinking, Hm, I can join in with them.
They're not going to go after me. If I'm on the other side of
the political ledger, like the Januarysixth folks, They're gonna lock them up
in jail. I guess I'm onthe right side in screaming death to America,
right, And what sad is Iwould say a good fifty percent of

(02:11:00):
them don't even understand again who they'reworking with. I mean, if you
and I put up a giant signin front of this big crowd and said,
Okay, here's Israel or Israel onone side, and here's the Palestinians
on the other side. Let's putlet's put up the very first thing gays.
Okay, which side allows gay peoplein their society? I mean,

(02:11:24):
none of these people even understand that. I mean they think, Oh,
no, it must be the Palestinians. They're the oppressed. Oh they're the
they're the poor little oppressed people,and they must be for everything we're for.
And no, no they're not.And they're not for women's rights.
Uh, women are property. Imean there's there's thousands of videos online that

(02:11:48):
I can't even watch that are peoplein certain cultures, and I'll keep them.
I won't mention them right now,but that I mean, they treat
women as objects. I mean,they can actually kill a female that's part
of their family and it's okay,you know. I mean you did it

(02:12:09):
for the right reason, so it'sokay. You know, it's okay,
you know. And I'm just like, no, no, no, life
is not precious. You can't dothat in a civilized society, not anymore.
I mean, every society has tohave the cultures and the religions,
and everybody grow up and say,hey, you know what, this is

(02:12:31):
the modern day. This is notback in our biblical times. You can't
do that anymore. You cannot choppeople's hands off, you cannot burn people
alive, you cannot cut people's headsoff. It is just not accepted.
It is not accepted, and ifyou want to stay that way, then
you don't belong in this country.I mean, this country is the beacon

(02:12:54):
of hope for everyone, and it'sbeen that way since I was born,
and I hope it stays that way. I don't understand why people that think
they can say death to America herearen't kissing our feet, because if you
say that in any other country,you're going to jail man absolutely absolutely,

(02:13:15):
and consider that they're willing to overlookall the horrors of sharia law. I
think let's put a just put anemphasis on that that's where those eagles come
from, murdering gay people and makingwomen wear his jobs and all of that,
that they are willing to overlook allof those horrors, and that injustice
based upon a clear obvious hatred forIsrael, that they have such a profound

(02:13:37):
disdain for a race of people thatthey're willing to overlook all the horrors of
that and go out into the streetsin support of it, even though,
as you properly illustrate, if theywere in that country they purport to support,
they'd probably either be dead or injail. Always great hearing from me,
Jeff, I truly appreciate you too, man, have a great weekend.

to the show. Hey Brian,good to talk to you again. Hey,

(02:19:26):
I have not had much chance tolisten to you since Biden's formal announcement.
Sorry US Republicans that aren't retired.Most of us work, and you
know, away, I want yourthoughts on a scenario, and then I'd
like to make a prediction after that. As far as the scenarios, So,
if Joe Biden were to step aside, they invoke the twenty fifth Amendment,

(02:19:48):
he passes away or becomes too physicallyin capacity, whatever's the case,
then of course Kamala Harris or howeveryou pronounce her name, ascends to the
presidency. But does that not makeSpeaker Mike Johnson the vice president? Huh?
I think you are right. Ihave not read that anywhere nationally,

(02:20:09):
heard that anywhere national interesting, neitherhave I. And you would think that
would be the Speaker of the Yeah, the Speaker of the House is the
next in the hierarchy. And thatwould create a couple quandaries for the Democrats
as well as Mike Johnson. Youknow, the Democrats. First of all,
the optics of now having a vicepresident who could potentially, you know,

(02:20:33):
battle against their president for four monthslead up to an election can't be
good. And you know also thefact that he could be the deciding vote
if somebody like a fetterman or somebodylike a mansion were to decide to flip
with the Republicans on something that wouldcome up in four months. Wouldn't that
be interesting? It would be interesting. I think probably unlikely. And I

(02:20:54):
just have to observe that recognizing therole of vice president doesn't come with any
normal roles. That the Harris administrationfor the period of time that it would
have to share it with him asvice president, would just keep him in
the dark. They would give himno roles, they'd squeeze him out,
they wouldn't invite him to meetings,and there'd be no obligation for them to
do that. So mainly just asymbolic role. And of course he would

(02:21:16):
be next in line should something happento Kamala Harris. But you know,
you raise an interesting, interesting politicalreality would have a whole lot of impact.
I don't think necessarily though, Ithink it would impact his career.
Also, I think it would endhis career as a politician either way one

(02:21:37):
you know, whether Kamala wins orloses, he's done as a vice president.
I think it also tarnishes, youknow, potentially him being able to
go back and run again for Congress. You know, he's kind of a
rhino and you know who knows wherethat is. But anyway, my prediction,
we'll see how it goes. Okay, so we get to November fifth

(02:21:58):
and Kamala Harris loses. Let's assumethat Biden limps in till November fifth,
Harris loses. I think a coupleof things happen on November sixth. One,
he pardons Hunter for everything. Twohe steps down, so the Democrats
can declare that they had the firstever woman president, even though she's lame
duck for a month and a half. Eh, they can claim it.

(02:22:20):
I suppose it would be true,but it would only be because of Biden's
stepping down. It wouldn't be byvirtue of the choice of the American voters.
But then again, the American voters, least in so far as the
Democrat Party is concerned, didn't chooseKamala Harris either. So hollow vicion,
Let's hope things turn out right onNovember fifth for us. Well, you
can be certain they would take avictory lap along those lines. Steve,
what it will be worth in termsof, you know, benefiting them politically,

(02:22:43):
I think it will be just amere gesture and worth not much.
Nice observations of Steve. I certainlyappreciate you calling today. Man, Stay
well and have a wonderful weekend,doctor J. It is wonderful to hear
back from you, Doctor J.I hope all is well in your world.
Things you're going as well as theycan be. Fact, Ran,
things are going pretty good. We'rehoping news next week. But I had

(02:23:05):
to call you, so it occursto me. I haven't spoken to you
like in a few weeks. Ithas been, and I think i'n aged
about five years in the past coupleof weeks. I mean, look at
everything that has happened. I shareyour feeling in that regard, doctor,
I mean, we thought history howmany times in that's two weeks, wasn't
it. Yeah, when they saymay you live in interesting times, it

(02:23:26):
is not positive statement. We areliving in interesting times, and I pray
to God our day that we wewouldn't we aren't anymore. But yeah,
I'm with you, man, Yeah, it would be nice to get up,
be nice to get out of them. But hey, I had an
interesting conversation with my barber, afemale stylist, a couple of weeks ago,

(02:23:46):
and I've kind of heard the liberalmindset a bit. I thought to
mention to her that, hey,did you hear about the Trump uh no
tax on tips plan? She liveson her tips, so she is a
lit And she immediately her voice raised, and she got angry with me,
and she said, we had nevertalked politics before. And she says,

(02:24:07):
yeah, that'll help me. Thenmy income will go down, and you
know I won't be able to youknow, my credit card rates will go
up and my interest rates will goup. And I said, what are
you talking about? And she explainedto me that she thought that then her
total income would go down because allthat chip income wouldn't be income anymore,
and thus, you know, shewould be a poorer candidate for loans.

(02:24:31):
And wore huh. And obviously shegot this from somewhere. She didn't just
come up. This is the propagandafrom the left. They're very very quick
at coming back. That's the firstI've heard of. This is a negative
response to his plan for no taxon tips. Well, okay, I'm
hearing. Okay, she would potentiallydrop into a lower tax bracket, but

(02:24:54):
her overall total income would not change. It's just what tax a book,
So she'd still be reporting to thelone person that she makes let's say seventy
five thousand dollars a year, eventhough only let's say fifty thousand of it
will be taxable, They're still goingto look at the seventy five including tips
that she makes. Right, Brian, on your I R S form,

(02:25:16):
they said, right, total incomeand then there's adjusted grossing exactly right.
Yeah. Well, I tried toexplain her step to her, but she
just raised her voice to get angryat twenty twenty five. Then I said,
well, that's not what that says. I We've already disavowed that.

(02:25:39):
And then she said this is asafe space. We can't talk about this.
Oh no, she didn't. Shesaid the words safe spaced. Well,
it was her store, so sheowns her store. So honestly she
has point there, really is it'taccurate? She said? So? Uh

(02:26:00):
anyway, Jay, at least youtried. I give you props for I
give you props for at least trying. But you know my point all the
time, doctor j is when theystart calling you names or giving you the
old petulant child holding his ears andgoing la la la la la, you
won. You won the argument inthe debate, Doctor J. God bless

(02:26:20):
you and a love and best ofhealth to your better half. I've been
thinking about cricket a lot. Thankyou here. I'll tell you we're gonna
find out on Monday whether we dotwo more months of chemo or maybe we're
done. So yeah, pray forus. You got it, buddy,
you absolutely got it. And I'llencourage my listeners to keep a cricket Doctor

(02:26:41):
J's wife and their thoughts and prayersas well. She's a wonderful, wonderful
woman and cancer sucks. Doctor J. Have a great weekend, sir,
eight forty eight fifty five KRCD Talkstation. Feel free to call. I
got time for maybe one or twoif you want to call. Otherwise,
a call that every one of mylistening audience should make unless well, no,
and pretty much all cases is CoverSincy. We all have medical care

(02:27:01):
we have to deal with. Weall have medical insurance at least I hope
we do it. And if youdon't have medical insurance, you more than
anyway I think, needs to getin touch with John Rolman and Cover Sincy.
Their team there can provide you withthe opportunity to get affordable medical insurance,
including medical insurance that does not havethousands of dollars in out of pocket
liability before the actual insurance kicks infor less money couples out of sixty five

(02:27:22):
cent between five hundred and one thousanddollars a month. And it's a really
special team that John has assembled overat Cover Sincy. They will look at
each person individually. If you area family, you got let's say four
people or five people in the family, John and the team look at each
one of you, and each oneof you may be insured differently based upon
your individual circumstances. And for businesses, he does the exact same thing for

(02:27:43):
each and every one of your employees. And once you're covered through Cover Sinsey,
they're there for you throughout the entireprocess dealing with any claims issues you
have. Don't call the insurance company, you call John and the team.
They'll handle it for you. Whata wonderful benefit that is just thinking about
the idea of not being on thephone for a couple of hours with an
